Community workshop starts process of reshaping One Paseo BY KAREN BILLING Kilroy Realty has hit the reset button on One Paseo, and the first community workshop to help guide the project’s new design was held July 13 at Del Mar Marriott. Drawing boards in the room were empty before 115 attendees weighed in on how best to create a new heart for the community that matches what Carmel Valley means to them. Scribbling on the blank slates, residents said Carmel Valley means natural beauty, open space, great schools, strong neighborhoods, a mix of old and new, and healthy, active living. “Some people might have expected to see a new project here tonight, but that is not the case,” said Jamas Gwilliam, Kilroy vice
president. “We’re truly starting with a fresh slate.” Gwilliam said Kilroy Realty has assembled a whole new team to develop the new One Paseo. They are committed to moving forward with a mixed-use project that meets the parameters of reducing traffic by nearly half as well as a reduction in building heights, bulk and scale. Gwilliam said in collaboration with the One Paseo Working Group, Kilroy aims to have the new design approved by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board by October, through the San Diego City Planning Commission by November and approved by City Council by the end of 2015.

Summer Serenades 2015
BY KRISTINA HOUCK People coming into Solana Beach from Rancho Santa Fe will soon be welcomed by a new sign. The Solana Beach City Council awarded a nearly $40,000 construction contract for the project as part of the July 8 consent calendar, a list of items approved with a single vote and no discussion. In January, the council unanimously approved the entry sign and monument design for the median at Lomas Santa Fe Drive and Highland Drive. Designed by two volunteers from the Public Arts Commission, or PAC, the “Gateway to Sunshine” entry sign and monument depicts a 55-foot-long serpentine, Corten steel “S” shape See SIGN, page 24

Community building now focus of debate on Del Mar Shores Park plan BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the site’s master plan process underway, Del Marians are still divided on what to do with Del Mar Shores Park. Some community members want to remove a building, while local nonprofits that use it want the building to remain on the site. People on both sides of the issue addressed the Del Mar City Council on July 6, after a summary of the planning process by Schmidt Design Group, the firm hired to produce the plan. Del Mar purchased the property from the Del Mar Union School District for $8.5 million in 2008, in an effort to preserve open space and recreational uses, continue the operation of The See SHORES, page 24

SFID sending out allocation letters to help reduce water use Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) began sending letters recently to all customers, which includes Solana Beach, providing each with the specific water allocation for their property along with reminders about water conservation tips, programs, rebates and incentives offered by the district online. In addition, an allocation calculator is available at www.sfidwater.org/calculator, to help customers determine their bi-monthly allocations for the year. In the midst of the worst drought in California history, SFID has stepped up efforts in public outreach, enforcement and restriction of use to meet the state requirements, conserve the remaining water supply and to plan for long-term water supply. Those efforts, and an unusual rainfall period in May, led to 42 percent in water-use reduction for the month over the same period in 2013, according to the latest district records.
“The dramatic reduction in May water use is really impressive,� said SFID General Manager Michael Bardin. “We want to thank our customers for stepping up in such a dramatic way.� The SFID letter campaign falls in line with the start of the allocation period on July 1, when all customers are being asked to reduce their water use dramatically to meet the Governor’s 36 percent cut back. “We recommend that all customers sign up for an online account at www.SFIDwater/MyAccount,� noted Bardin. “Customers can go there any time to obtain their specific water allocation.� This is just one of many conservation programs, tips and incentives available on the district’s website at www.SFIDwater.org. The district also encourages its customers to explore and engage with the district on Facebook and through Twitter #SFIDwatersavvy.
County reports 2015 West Nile virus-infected bird total already more than last year BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The county of San Diego collected 50 dead birds that tested positive for the potentially fatal West Nile virus in the first half of this year, more than all of 2014, the Department of Environmental Health reported recently. The DEH said 14 West Nile virus-infected birds were discovered within the last few weeks in various parts of the region, including Carmel Valley, City Heights, El Cajon, La Mesa, Oceanside, Ramona and Spring Valley. The total number of dead birds found in all of last year was 41. The virus is spread to birds and people by mosquitoes. Last year, 11 San Diegans were infected by the disease and two died. “There are simple things people can do to help protect themselves,� said DEH Director Elizabeth Pozzebon. “Get rid of standing water in and around your home so mosquitoes can’t breed, wear insect repellent, and report dead birds to our vector control program by calling or emailing them.� Four out of five people bitten by a mosquito carrying West Nile virus won’t have symptoms. Of those who do get sick, most will have a mild headache, fever, nausea, skin rash or swollen glands. The symptoms turn life-threatening in 1 out of 150 cases, mainly for people over 50 years old or those with weakened immune systems.
County Board of Education appoints Encinitas resident Rick Shea as District 5 Representative At its July 8 meeting, the San Diego County Board of Education appointed Encinitas resident Rick Shea as the board representative for District 5, which runs along the coast from Del Mar to Camp Pendleton and includes some inland North County areas, including Rancho Santa Fe. Shea has lived in District 5 for more than 40 years and has dedicated his career to helping students succeed. Prior to retiring as the special assistant to the county superintendent/administrative services officer for the San Diego County Office of Education, Shea served as a classroom teacher and head teacher for the Juvenile Court Schools and as a juvenile probation officer. Shea has also served as mayor and a city council member of Encinitas, a board member of the Encinitas Fire Protection District, San Dieguito Water Dis-
trict, Cardiff by the Sea Sanitation District, and North County Transit District. Shea was chosen from a pool of 15 candidates. Each candidate was asked a series of interview questions by the three sitting board members. At the conclusion of the initial interviews, each board member nominated a candidate to go to a final interview. Second-round candidates also included Comischell Bradley-Rodriguez and Miles Durfee, both from San Diego. Shea was appointed by a unanimous vote and was immediately sworn into office by County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Randy Ward. “My desire to serve on the County Board is a continuation of the 30-plus years I have dedicated to public service,
education, and to the children of San Diego County,� said Shea. Shea’s first full meeting as a County Board of Education member will be on Aug. 12, when he will help select the appointee for the board’s District 2 seat, which is currently vacant. Shea will hold office until January 2017. A successor will be elected in 2016 to complete the term ending Jan. 2019. “The board is pleased to have received such a large number of applications for the District 5 seat,� said County Board of Education President Dr. Gregg Robinson. “Mr. Shea comes to us ready to do the job.�

No more showers at state beaches BY J. HARRY JONES, SPECIAL TO THE DM TIMES, SB SUN, CV NEWS Getting rid of that gritty feeling after a day at the beach is about to get a lot tougher in California. As of July 15, outdoor showers at all state beaches are shut off as a way to conserve water during the drought, California State Parks officials announced recently. The move is designed to save up to 18 million gallons of water annually. The restrictions will apply only to outdoor showers and “rinse stations,” not to indoor campground showers. The change may not be popular, but will help the state agency whittle away at its water usage at a time when every drop counts, officials said. “I think every Californian understands the effect of the drought,” said Garratt Aitchison, acting director of the department’s San Diego Coast District, which stretches from Carlsbad south to the Mexico border. In searching for ways to conserve “our first course of action was to take a look at our outdoor showers, because it’s not so much a health and safety cutback — it’s one of convenience,” he said. Instead of rinsing off, beachgoers may want to use a towel to brush sand away or bring water from home in a reusable jug, as many surfers do now, officials said. At Carlsbad State Beach — one of 63 beaches in California affected by the change — visitors had mixed reactions to the news. Shelby Hose, 17, said she counts on rinsing off after a swim because saltwater irritates her skin. “Without (the showers), I wouldn’t come to the beach,” she said.
Bob & Kathy Angello
Her friend, Cameron McMurray, 17, agreed: “We need the showers.” Josh Watanabe, a 30-year-old from Escondido, said he won’t mind the change. “Whatever we have to do to save water is cool,” said Watanabe, who was Boogieboarding in Carlsbad recently. “I’d rather have water to drink — who cares about rinsing our feet off?” In San Diego County, other beaches affected by the change are Cardiff State Beach, San Elijo State Beach, San Onofre State Beach, Silver Strand State Beach, South Carlsbad State Beach, and Torrey Pines State Beach. Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas, though owned by the state, is operated by the city and not affected by the new restriction. Officials estimate that rinse stations are used about 15 million times each year — with each rinse using an average of 1.2 gallons of water. The parks department has implemented several water-saving strategies in recent years, including installing low-flow toilets, shower heads, faucets and spigots; higher priority on leak detection and repair; and installing portable toilets and sanitation stations. The agency has met Gov. Jerry Brown’s 25 percent water reduction mandate, but officials said individual parks must find other ways to meet local restrictions or mandates. Most city beaches across the county still have rinse stations, although the city of Del Mar recently decided to shut down most beach showers. Aitchison said he hopes visitors will take the change in stride. Staff writer Phil Diehl contributed to this report.

Community celebrates completion of Del Mar’s Jimmy Durante Boulevard Streetscape Project BY KRISTINA HOUCK City officials and community members commemorated the completion of the Jimmy Durante Boulevard Streetscape Project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 9 at the Del Mar Plaza. Street, sidewalk and drainage improvements along a southeast portion of Jimmy Durante began in mid-February. The project included the construction of about 2,500 feet of new curbs and gutters, 16,000 square feet of sidewalks, five retaining walls, 2,500 feet of utility pipeline replacement, and 87,300 square feet of pavement rehabilitation. The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the completion of the second segment of the more than $4 million citywide street, sidewalk and drainage project, which is being implemented in phases. As part of the multi-year citywide sidewalk connectivity project, the city previously installed 12,000 square feet of sidewalks in the Beach Colony along Camino del Mar from 22nd Street to the San Dieguito River Bridge. The first phase also included 2,800 feet of new curbs and gutters, 20 pedestrian ramps, pavement rehabilitation and irrigated planting areas. The city is expected to work on Via de la Valle and the North Beach area of Del Mar next. Most of the funding for the project is coming from a financing plan offered by the San Diego Association of Governments. To pay the debt, Del Mar is using TransNet funds, a voter-approved half-cent sales tax given to cities for use on transportation projects.

Construction finally begins to improve Torrey Hills lot BY KAREN BILLING After six years, the dirt has finally begun to move on a long-vacant lot in Torrey Hills. Construction started July 13 on a longawaited, much-delayed, several-times-revised landscape enhancement project for the dusty lot under the power lines at the crest of East Ocean Air Drive. Torrey Hills Community Planning Board member Brad Fagan has been on somewhat of a personal odyssey trying to get something accomplished on the site, after residents from a row of homes on Corte Mar Asombrosa, directly facing the lot, asked the Torrey Hills Home- In November 2014, the board was able owners Association whether anything could be to approve a reduced-scale project that included native plant restoration at a done to fix the unsightly property. The request launched a drawn-out process cost of $60,000. Photo by Karen Billing that saw the city’s price tag soar to $450,000 for a simple enhancement project on less than one acre, because of “soft costs” like consultant work, a site development permit and an environmental process. The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board pulled the plug on the project and refused to let the city use the entire amount available in the Torrey Hills maintenance assessment district budget. In November 2014, the board was finally able to approve a whittled-down project that included native plant restoration, temporary irrigation and some decomposed granite cover at a cost of $60,000. It won’t be the trees, boulders, benches and shade structures sought in the original proposal, but finally a “neighborhood blight” will be improved. “Six years of effort are finally coming to fruition. I’m so happy,” said Torrey Hills Planning Board Chair Kathryn Burton. “It’s going to be a great amenity for this neighborhood, as this lot has become a bit of an eyesore, and this will help soften that.” “We will finally get rid of the weeds and make the lot look presentable,” said Fagan, who said that as an HOA representative, the goal is always to help keep property values high, and the dirt lot was doing nothing to help neighboring homeowners. Over the years the project has gone by many names, from a greenbelt to an enhancement project to “The Never Being Built Park,” as coined by board member Mark Lee. On Monday, July 13, Fagan pitched a new name for the board to call the project: Torrey Hills View Park, referring to the lot’s views out to the ocean and across Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve on the edge. Without delay, Burton approved of the new name.

Speeding driver on officer’s ‘watch list’ BY SUZANNE EVANS At the July 9 meeting of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board, San Diego Police Department-Northwestern Division Community Relations Officer Tracey Williams told the board he has noted many complaints about a young driver speeding recklessly around the preserve and says he needs to be invited into residences where these complaints are being made. The driver is on Williams’ watch list, but he says he “needs a paper trail” to supplement complaints. “When I get my hands on him, I will have more to say. I want to catch him and document this.”

Best-selling author Winslow tells grim tale of drug cartels at local event BY DIANE Y. WELCH At a recent lunch reception held at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, New York Times bestselling crime novelist Don Winslow gave an entertaining talk on a grim subject: the drug cartels of Mexico. His presentation — hosted by Warwick’s bookstore of La Jolla and the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild — coincided with the official release date of his latest book, “The Cartel,” a sequel to his 2005 novel “The Power of the Dog.” Winslow, who lives in Julian but also splits his time between Solana Beach and Rhode Island, spoke passionately about the long-running wars of the cartels and the drug issues facing the U.S. and offered his personal opinions about the outlawing of street drugs, which is making drug cartel leaders more violent and more wealthy, he commented. His fascination with the drug cartels stemmed from an interest in the escalation of reported incidents that Winslow began to document out of interest. At the end of that process, he had 127 single-spaced pages that became the “spine” of his new book. He included his two main characters from “The Power of the Dog” — Art Keller and Adán Barrer, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent and a Sonora cartel kingpin, respectively. “Then I took significant events that became the muscle and the bone around the spine,” Winslow explained. He looked at about 20 significant events and wrote them out and had a rough road map for the novel’s plot. Winslow was able to gather facts from social media. “Criminals used to hide their crimes, now they proclaim them,” he said. Using newspaper reports, Internet clips, talking to DEA and law enforcement and directly with drug traffickers, he rounded out his research. His informal presentation included an exchange of questions and comments from the audience. “Do you think that legalizing drugs will make any difference?” someone asked. “Yes, without doubt!” answered Winslow. “If you criminalize drugs, only criminals can sell them. If only criminals can sell them, (then) when there is a conflict, there is no recourse of the law. If there is no recourse of the law, there is only recourse to the violence. If there is only recourse to the violence, then eventually the most violent will rise to the top,” he stated. Marijuana is still the cartel’s biggest cash pile, said Winslow. They are already buying land in California and Oregon in anticipation of its legalization, he said. But they will still maintain high profits from heroin, cocaine and meth. “With your research on both sides of the border, have you been invited to Mexico by cartel leaders?” someone inquired.
“I have had contacts,” Winslow admitted, “but I’m not going to go any further than that.” “Is it part of the cartels’ business model to outdo each other in terms of their brutal reprisals, and does it work?” came another question. “Yes, it does, “ Winslow replied. “Violence almost always escalates.” “If all drugs were legalized, would cartels switch then to human trafficking?” someone asked. “Probably. Some cartels make more money from human trafficking , kidnaping and extortion than they do from drugs. Their income accounts from 8 to 12 percent of the Mexican economy,” said Winslow. Another question: “For the average family in Mexico, are they safe in any way from this business, or is ev- L-R: Julie Slavinsky, Don Winslow, Susan Appleby. Photo eryone involved?” by Diane Y. Welch “It depends on the area and the time,” answered Winslow. “There was a period of time in Juarez where no one was safe at any time. And in the past 30 days, for example, there have been over 100 murders in Tijuana alone.” For Winslow, writing about the Mexican cartels was at times depressing. “You spend time with videos and atrocity photos and autopsies, but in an odd way some of the story was inspiring and hopeful in terms of the women,” he said. This hope stemmed from women taking over in Northern Mexico as mayors, social acSee AUTHOR, page 24

UC San Diego Anthropology Professor named to Dr. James Y. Chan Presidential Chair for Global Health Carmel Valley resident Thomas J. Csordas, renowned anthropologist and director of the Global Health Program at UCSD, has been appointed the inaugural holder of the Dr. James Y. Chan Presidential Chair for Global Health in the Division of Social Sciences. The endowed faculty chair was established with a $500,000 pledge from retired physician James Y. Chan, and matched through the University of California’s Presidential Match for Endowed Chairs. The endowed chair will provide a dedicated source of funds for the chair holder’s scholarly activities as well as support for undergraduate and graduate students with global health interests. “With his generous gift, Dr. Chan has created a lasting legacy that will help us to better understand health, illness and healing issues throughout the world,” said UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “This gift will benefit many generations to come, and we are very grateful for his support.” A graduate of the National Taiwan University College of Professor Thomas J. CsorMedicine, Chan was for many years a urologist in Texas, where das of UCSD with Dr. he often worked with underserved populations. When he retired to La Jolla, he became familiar with UC San Diego and its James Y. Chan. student-centered, research-focused, service-oriented mission. Impressed by what the campus was doing, he made gifts to support various initiatives and areas, including the Hispanic Scholarship Council, the biomedical library and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. When the Global Health Program — a new interdisciplinary undergraduate degree program — launched last fall, Chan’s interest was piqued. “In a world with constantly shrinking borders, global health is an extremely important issue,” Chan said. “I wanted to help give the study of global health the proper resources and recognition it deserves.” UC San Diego’s Global Health Program is the first of its kind within the UC system. According to Csordas, the program is truly interdisciplinary, bringing together coursework and faculty from the UC San Diego divisions of Social Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Arts and Humanities, the School of Medicine, the Rady School of Management, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “Students gain an in-depth understanding of the complex nature of health problems,” said Csordas. “They learn that to solve these problems, they must approach them from a perspective that transcends national borders and regional differences while taking cultural difference and diversity fully into account.” Csordas has long been inspired to understand how healing, transformation and change occur in human existence. As an anthropologist, his principal interests are in medical and psycho-
could have chosen to support with his gift, he chose the Global Health Program,” he said. UC President Janet Napolitano launched the Presidential Match for Endowed Chairs program on July 16, 2014. The program initially allocates $4 million per UC campus for use as an incentive to encourage donors to establish endowed faculty chairs. The program could potentially add 100 endowed faculty chairs to the UC system over the next five years. It is funded through the Presidential Endowment Fund, a source of private donations that the president may use at her discretion to support university activities. Each presidential match will be $500,000 and campuses must raise at least $500,000 per chair in donor funds to qualify for the match.

Throughout his career, he has conducted ethnographic research with Charismatic Catholics, Navajo Indians and adolescents in the American Southwest on such topics as therapeutic processes in religious healing, ritual language and creativity, sensory imagery, selftransformation, techniques of the body, causal reasoning about illness, and the experience of psychiatric inpatients. Now, with funds from the endowed chair, Csordas will continue his work on behalf of the Global Health Program, particularly by supporting student research. He also plans to promote global mental health and continue work on the relation of religion and mental health. “I feel immensely gratified that of all the remarkable activities on our campus Dr. Chan

Do Your Windows Make Your Home Look Outdated? Do they leak air or have condensation between the panes? Are your windows practically impossible to open and close?
You need new replacement windows from Renewal by Andersen. If you have outdated, drafty, broken, or inefficient windows, your home will never be as comfortable or attractive as you would like—and your energy bills will probably always be hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars more than they should be. Built for San Diego’s climate, Renewal by Andersen windows and doors will make your home more comfortable and beautiful, and will help you save money on your energy bills! - Custom Built: For a tight, energy efficient fit, we custom build your replacement windows to your home’s precise measurements—right down to 1/16th of an inch. - Superior Performance: Only Renewal by Andersen uses Fibrex frame material, which blocks thermal heat transfer nearly 700 times better than aluminum framed windows.

We are blessed to have such strong partners in our journey.� In addition to the recent funding received by the Foundation, the Foundation gave a $1 million gift to kick-start the Share the Dream Capital Campaign. The Share the Dream Campaign renovated the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Lomas Branch, now the Harper Branch in Solana Beach, and constructed the second swimming pool to help alleviate the wait list of youth swimmers at the branch.

TPHS student recognized for superior academic achievement by The National Society of High School Scholars BY KRISTINA HOUCK Recognizing his academic achievements, the National Society of High School Scholars recently welcomed Carmel Valley student Ahmadreza Saffari Far as a member of the Atlanta-based organization. Founded in 2002, the organization is an honor society that recognizes top academic achievers from high schools around the world. “This means a lot to me,� Ahmadreza said. “It proves that I can have a future here. There are many opportunities here.� Born in Tehran, Iran, Ahmadreza moved to the United States in January 2014 and started at Torrey Pines High School in the second semester of his sophomore year. Since then, he has quickly made a mark on the campus and the Carmel Valley community. Initially, Ahmadreza was designated as an English Language Development I student with all sheltered classes. When he starts his senior year in the fall, he will be taking four Advanced Placement classes and two other classes. In addition to excelling in the classroom, Ahmadreza is involved on the campus and in the community. At school, Ahmadreza is a member of Torrey Pines Interact Club, Torrey Pines IT Club and American Red Cross, having volunteered about 60 hours in the local community. Outside of school, he is also an active member of 1st Saturdays, a local nonprofit that helps the homeless, and the OMID Foundations, an organization that works to transform the lives of women and girls in Iran.

The American Youth Leadership Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the University of Wyoming 4-H Youth Development Program. This program provides high school students from the Western United States an opportunity to travel abroad to gain firsthand knowledge of foreign cultures and to collaborate on solving global issues.

The host family stay is essential and takes place during the majority of the in-country program. American participants will live with their host families as they become another sister, brother, son or daughter to the family. The Americans and Ghanaian host siblings will also participate in educational programs to study ways in which healthy meals are provided for schoolchildren and study other food insecurity concerns, learn about gender roles and issues, visit Ghanaian governmental, cultural and educational sites and participate in locally organized community service activities.

DM attorney’s farm provides fresh produce to local restaurants BY KAREN POWELL It was a no-brainer when Del Mar attorney Bing Bush was approached last summer by his long time friend, polo player and businessman Luis Rios, to help with the acquisition of what is now the Medallion Farm in San Diego. Bush grew up on a small farm in Kentucky with horses, and jumped at the chance to partner with his fellow horseman. The 48-acre property is on Monument Road in San Diego near the Tijuana River Valley, and overlooks the Pacific Ocean with a view of Imperial Beach, Point Loma, Coronado, and downtown San Diego to the north, and the Mexican border to the south. Bush is passionate about the farm. “I love going down to the farm in the Josh Soth, executive chef at Hotel Indigo’s Ocean View early morning, picking up fresh produce, and dropping Bar & Grill, Bing I. Bush Jr., Medallion Farm owner and it off to my favorite local res- Del Mar attorney, and Man Lai Tam, general manager of taurants on the way to my Hotel Indigo Del Mar. Courtesy photo office.” Medallion Farm fresh produce is served at Crepes & Corks, En Fuego, Hotel Indigo Ocean View Bar and Grill, Poseidon, Sbicca, Curious Fork, Enoteca Cucina and Pamplemousse. The farm was originally owned by George Yamamoto, a Japanese sharecropper who was interned with his family at Santa Anita during World War II. Yamamoto took great pride in owning the last piece of private property on the southwest corner of the United States, now a source of great pride for both Bush and Rios. With rich soil and their own well, they are able to produce strawberries, various types of squash, shishito peppers, and an organic garden of various tomatoes, kale, and mixed lettuces. About 40 horses are also kept on the property, including thoroughbreds from the race track, San Diego Polo Club ponies, and some trail horses. Trails on the property allow them access to the beach.

Local ultra-runner finishes 100-mile run across tough terrain BY KAREN BILLING While local resident Jeff Hooker might be hesitant to say he ran 100 miles for a belt buckle, he pretty much did just that. Every runner who finishes the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run under the benchmarks of 24 hours or 30 hours earns themselves a hefty, handmade silver or bronze belt buckle — a coveted prize among ultra-runners. Hooker got 100 tough miles under his belt — and the buckle to boot — by being one of only 254 runners to finish Western States on June 28 in California gold country. Hooker, 48, completed what is considered the oldest and most prestigious 100-mile trail race in 29 hours and 29 minutes. The race takes runners from Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics at 6,200 feet elevation, ascending to Emigrant Pass at an elevation of 8,750 feet. The remote and rugged trail course ascends 15,540 feet more, then descends 22,970 feet before finishing in Auburn on the track at Placer High School. Western States has a dropout rate of 30 percent; runners must meet the 30-hour cutoff point to be considered finishers. While some 26,000 people ran in this year’s Rock n’ Roll San Diego Marathon and Half, fewer than 10,000 people have run Western States over the race’s lifespan since 1974. So why does Hooker want to run 100mile races? “I don’t know,” he stated honestly with a laugh, except that he loves to run and he had already tackled every distance from 5K to marathon. One hundred miles was just another challenging distance to take down. “The reason why I keep doing it is the
community. The trail-running community is very different from the road-racing community. It’s a smaller community because not a lot of runners go out and run 100 or more miles. It’s just a different mentality, and a different group of very, very supportive and yet highly competitive people.” In San Diego, they are called SURF (San Diego Ultra-Running Friends). They organize group-training runs and serve as a valuable resource for ultra-runners. Several SURFers began Western States and were cut off by time; Hooker and Joey Bryan were the only locals to finish. Western States was Hooker’s fourth start and third finish of a 100-mile race. He has started the San Diego 100 Mile Endurance Run three times and finished twice — in 2013, he missed the cut-off time after being slowed by 100-degree heat and getting lost at mile 51. Hooker has been training in ultra-running for the past five years, balancing running long with life and work at a computer technology company. He will ramp up training in January for spring, summer and fall ultras, logging 60 to 70 miles a week during training, with long runs of 20 to 30 miles on the weekends. Typically, having a few 30-plus-mile runs will have him feeling sufficiently prepared for a 100-mile race, although before Western States, he ran the 50-mile Pacific Coast Trail Run as a training run. He frequently runs Lake Hodges, Elfin Forest or Los Penasquitos Canyon, and goes out to Mount Laguna or Lake Cuyamuca to get used to elevation and mountain climbs. As Western States has big elevation gains and losses, Hooker focused on his

For the first time in his ultra-running career, he also dealt with an injury during training — a peroneal (ankle) tendon started to flare up in his left foot from overuse, which he handled by visits to a chiropractor and adjusting his training schedule. To race Western States, runners first must qualify and win in a participant lottery. It is extremely hard to get in, and Hooker had one ticket in the lottery, a 48 percent chance to get selected. Team Hooker, which included his wife, Charlene; his daughter, Theresa; his mother, Gayle Griffith; his daughter’s best friend, Sami Amezcua; and Gloria King, his “safety runner” and pacer, traveled to Lake Tahoe the Saturday before the race so Hooker could adjust to the altitude. The foot felt fine and he hiked up the race’s first big climb, 2,550 vertical feet, to get his nerves out. See RUNNER, page 26

Patriot Profiles: Meet Taya Kyle, an ‘American Wife’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The story of Chris and Taya Kyle is a testament to heroism on the battlefield and a tribute to love at its deepest level at home. Not that long ago in 2001, Taya and Navy SEAL Chris were making eyes at each other at Maloney’s in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. Chris intrigued her with his idealism and romantic patriotism, saying, “I would lay down my life for my country.” How could a girl not fall for that? They married in 2002 and set out to experience “happily ever after.” Training is on-the-job for thousands of military wives (and some husbands) in Taya’s position. Becoming a Navy SEAL had built her husband up for the most terrible aspects of war — to survive and win against all odds or threats. Taya didn’t have a grueling training program, no jack-hammered conditioning and pressure to become a ripped, “indestructible warrior.” Yet she had to become indomitable, somehow. Falling in love with a former Texas cowboy turned Navy SEAL in a time of war meant scares and separa-
tions — long ones. Christopher Scott Kyle followed orders, and was deployed to Iraq multiple times. For days on end, he put his life on the line in major battles, while Taya fought to ward off overload at home — raising two children and keeping up with everything. While Chris was busy providing American fighters with covering fire, using his skills and faith to stay alive, Taya was covering up their two kids at night, using her faith and skills to reassure that Daddy would be back. The enemy’s bounty on Chris grew with his reputation of being the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. Taya fought the quiet battles. Her husband lived a life of danger in a foreign land and there was nothing she could do to change that. “I can be hard-headed and want to have control over my own destiny or fix things,” she said. “I feel like this is one way God broke me down to say, ‘You can come to me, because this is truly out of your control.’ I felt like my relationship and faith deepened through that process of being completely powerless.”
The fog of war moved in on young lovers living in opposite realities. “I think the biggest challenge as I look back was knowing and feeling that he loved me and he meant it, and just because it wasn’t shown in the same ways it traditionally was for other couples, that it didn’t mean it was any less real for him. “I heard Chris say at one point, ‘We both just never gave up at the same time.’ I remember thinking, ‘I never gave up.’ I know I expressed disappointment at the way things were going and he understood it as maybe I was ready to ‘toss in the towel.’ My main thing was — the day I got married, I was promising my friends and family and God that this was it for me,” stated Taya. Things got better when Chris got out of the military and channeled his passion to serve into supporting veterans and their families. Reality was the same now for him and Taya —the family was whole again. Then life took a shattering turn when Chris and his friend, Chad Littlefield, were killed while attempting to help a trou-

Taya and Chris Kyle: “I heard Chris say at one point, ‘We both just never gave up at the same time,” Taya Kyle recalls. The wife of the famed “American Sniper” has written “American Wife.” Photos courtesy Taya Kyle. bled veteran. “I go back to my faith, so when (something unexpected happens), I can still have faith that it’s going to be OK somehow, or I’m going to have the strength to go through it,” said Taya. “My friends and family — when you have good people around you and you get a little off track … they can bring you back to the core they know you are.” Taya helps her children be in the driver’s seat of life’s turns, “to be their own unique people and deal with their grief in their own way, because what I’m learning is that everybody handles it differently and there’s really no wrong way to do it. But you have to honor how you really feel about it.” How Taya really feels is detailed in her new book “American Wife,” telling her private story of love and heartbreak, her own conditioning for a life of service, her struggle with grief and the battle to protect her husband’s reputation. It’s a testament to overcoming the unexpected and rising to new heights. After meeting Chris in 2001, Taya would not have imagined a trajectory returning her to San Diego with a bevy of books based on the trials and triumphs of her life. The USS Midway Museum was chosen to host her West Coast book launch, organized by Sharon Smith and USO San Diego, UT San Diego, and “Papa” Doug Manchester. Taya brought a little bit of Texas with her, gliding in rhinestone cowboy boots across the storied carrier deck. “Papa” Doug and his wife, Geniya, USO officials and other supporters, the Navy Color Guard and local media welcomed her warmly. Here was a woman who had lost so much, yet appeared so strong and willing to share both happy and painful parts of her life. All event profits went to USO San Diego (usosandiego.org), an organization tirelessly dedicated to providing services to U.S. troops coming in and going out. May 18 was declared Taya Kyle Day in San Diego by Steve Puetz, spokesperson for Mayor Kevin Faulconer. No award can replace seeing her man playing with his kids and hearing their laughter. No one can wear Chris Kyle’s boots as Taya’s protector and provider, or emulate his loving embrace. She tells her children, “When something goes the way one or all three of us don’t like, but has to happen … it’s OK to acknowledge how you feel, but sometimes you have to suck it up and do it anyway.” Taya is embracing life on a new level, calling the shots for her family’s future and finding sacrifice has its rewards. She’s met a number of people, she said, “who really are the heroes — they’re the ones still doing it every day. Having lived through my story and putting it out there in the books, ‘American Sniper,’’ ‘American Wife’ — both show a different aspect. From what I’ve heard, See PATRIOT, page 26

CCA clubs host finalists in Inventions Contest The Canyon Crest Academy Inventions Club and SPARK Chemistry Demonstration Club held a showcase May 21 for finalists in their San Diego Elementary School Inventions Contest. Seventeen elementary school students from two districts were recognized for their hard work and ingenuity.

Jewish Academy’s CFO gets down to business as new varsity football coach BY GIDEON RUBIN San Diego Jewish Academy earlier this year tapped Skip Carpowich, its CFO and chief operating officer, to coach its varsity football team. Carpowich’s finance background includes more than 20 years at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology. His coaching background includes helping launch Torrey Pines’ Pop Warner program and a season as a Lions varsity assistant coach last year. His choice as varsity football coach may seem incongruous. But to hear him tell it, Carpowich, who envisioned coaching at the end of his career, the opportunity to practice both crafts simultaneously is a perfect fit. “Here I am at a school as a (CFO and COO) where at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I can go out and put on some football gear and be out on the field and be at the school and doing something that benefits the school, that lets me connect Skip Carpowich with the students and families,” he said. “Being both at the executive level and being a coach, it’s a dream come true.” Carpowich is by all accounts pulling out all the stops to help the Lions contend, bringing in some high-profile former NFL and collegiate players to mentor specific position groups including Quinn Early, a former Chargers receiver (and current Cathedral Catholic assistant coach) and former San Diego State quarterback Billy Blanton. He’s also brought in rugby coaching experts to teach tackling techniques that college programs are implementing under new rules designed to prevent head injuries. Carpowich has also tried to create a sense of history, bringing back former players to share war stories and create a network that players can turn to. He also plans to use the middle school’s flag football program as a feeder program, teaching fundamentals that Lions players haven’t had going into their varsity program. Varsity players will mentor some of the middle school players, Carpowich said, adding that he wants his players to be role models. “Not just with respect to football, but with respect to life skills,” he said. “We really want to create a program and not only compete for a championship, but have the type of characteristics and values that really embodies the entire school.” Carpowich has had limited contact with his players aside from a handful of voluntary

Charity football tourney raises more than $5K The Inaugural Junior Buddy Bowl Charity Flag Football Tournament for high school students was recently played at the Rancho Santa Fe soccer fields, raising more than $5,000 benefiting the Challenged Athletes Foundation — Operation Rebound program. The Junior Buddy Bowl was established and organized this year by Nick Miller, a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School, along with fellow senior high school board members Caitlyn Canterbury (Cathedral), Michael Churchyard (Cathedral), Luke Hazel (St. Augustine) and Eric Monroe (St. Augustine). Participating teams from Cathedral Catholic, St. Augustine and Torrey Pines high schools raised funds and awareness for CAF Operation Rebound. CAF Operation Rebound athletes retired U.S. Army Sgt. Daniel Casara and retired U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Eric McElvenny were honorary coaches for the teams. The Junior Buddy Bowl Committee will soon begin planning for next year’s tournament to include a wider reach of participants from other high school students in the area. The Junior Buddy Bowl (high school students) follows in the footsteps of the more established Buddy Bowl (adults) in creating awareness, raising funds and promoting an appreciation for the armed services. For information, visit www.buddybowl.org. Photos at right by Natalia Gabaldon.
summer practices and spring workouts, but the early returns suggest he’s already gotten some buy-in. “He’s the right guy for the job in the sense that he wants to create a better team,” said former Lions head coach and current volunteer coach Joseph Gurfinkiel. “He wants to develop that program.” Carpowich faces some tough challenges. He takes over a program that’s looking to rebound from an 0-4-1 2014 season, when the Lions returned to eight-man football competing as an independent after five years playing 11-man for five years (they’d been an eight program for the previous eight years since the program’s 2002 inaugural). He’s the fifth coach the team has had since 2010. This year, they’ll compete in the newly formed Coastal League Ocean, a five-team division for eight-man teams. They’re part of an eight-man renaissance in San Diego County, which just reinstituted a Division VI for eight-man teams who, for the first time in years, will compete for a sanctioned championship. The division for now consists of 11 or so teams playing in two leagues. Carpowich admits he was skeptical about the eight-man game at first, but the more he became exposed to it, the more he grew to like it. Now he’s a believer. “The eight-man game is really exciting,” Carpowich said. “The field is 40 yards wide instead of the standard 53, but it kind of opens up the game a little bit, even though the field is a little narrower, because you have fewer players and you can spread out.” And the Lions plan to take full advantage of that extra space this season. They’ll run a pro-style spread offense led by junior quarterback Jordan Battaglia, a three-sport athlete who is among the basketball team’s best players and a college prospect in baseball. “We’re going to run a spread offense out of the shotgun to take advantage of his (Battaglia’s) ability to read the field, throw the ball and run the ball,” Carpowich said. But the spread offense may not be around for long. All high school programs, to varying degrees, must adjust their game plan to the type of personnel they have, but the challenge is exponentially greater at smaller schools who have fewer players to choose from. SDJA’s high school enrollment is about 180. “At Torrey Pines, you have the program and you adapt the players to that offense — they run the (Delaware) wing-T,” Gurfinkiel said. “With us, it’s the opposite. We have to adapt to the players, because most of them don’t have the knowledge to be able to run that offense, or we don’t have the personnel to run that offense. “We have to be able to adjust, year in and year out, and I’m sure being a first-year coach it’s going to be tough, but I believe he’s (Carpowich) the right guy to lead the program to success. He has great leadership, and he’s just a great guy overall.”

BY ROB LEDONNE Last month during Torrey Pines High School’s graduation, 18-year-old Jake Singer said goodbye to the friends and athletes he’s spent most of his time with throughout his esteemed baseball career. “Graduation was pretty surreal,” Singer said. “It doesn’t start to hit you until you walk into the stadium and see everyone around you.” For Singer, graduating from Torrey Pines marked the beginning of one chapter and the end of another one. As a stand-out on Torrey Pines’ varsity baseball team, Singer has now set his sights on playing for Notre Dame’s prestigious baseball team. This, after he was drafted in the 38th round of Major League Baseball’s draft by the Colorado Rockies last month. “I played on a travel team for a coach who was a scout for the Rockies and we developed a relationship,” says Singer of his potential foray into the Rockies’ ranks. “He liked what he saw in me and reported me to his superiors.” When Singer was drafted by the Rockies in early June, he says it caught him totally off-guard. “It was surreal and something I didn’t expect,” he explains now, looking back. Singer was then faced with a difficult decision: attend Notre Dame, like he had been planning to do since he accepted their invitation to play ball for them last fall, or pass up that opportunity to try his hand in the minors. Singer chose the former, passing up the chance to trek to Colorado in lieu of Notre Dame’s South Bend, Indiana campus. “Even before I was drafted, I decided in my
Notre Dame-bound Torrey Pines graduate Jake Singer slams a hit at a recent varsity baseball game. Courtesy photo head that I was going to go to school no matter what,” he says of his decision. “I just see so much value in getting a degree. Playing a sport professionally comes with a lot of variables.” As of now, Singer’s plan is to attend and play for Notre Dame for the next four years, obtain a degree, and aim to get drafted again after he graduates in May of 2019. It’s no wonder that the powers that be at both Notre Dame and the Colorado Rockies had their eye on Singer, who recently came off a surprisingly successful senior season. “This last year playing for Torrey Pines has been awesome,” says Singer. “We had a great group of guys and were able to win the League. Being able to do that with the kids I grew up with has been the highlight of my career in baseball so far. No one would have predicted this.” One of the highlights of the season for Singer was a walk-off hit against Torrey Pines’ arch rivals, La Costa Canyon. “We played 12 innings against them and to come out on top was incredible,” he explains. “There was so much emotion in that game. Everyone on each team really wanted to win.” Throughout his baseball career in the North County — which includes Torrey’s varsity team and a stint with the Solana Beach Cardinals — Singer has been a third baseman. When he heads to Notre Dame, however, Singer isn’t sure what position they’ll slot him in, but he’s not too worried. Notes Singer, “I’ve played third all throughout high school, but I can play any position.” Moving forward, regardless of what happens in Singer’s athletic future, he says he’ll forever cherish his humble beginnings in the North County scene. “This group of guys meshed and played really well together,” he says of his former Torrey Pines teammates. “Moving onto Notre Dame and not playing with them anymore will definitely be bittersweet.”

Letters to the editor/Opinion
Education Matters/Opinion The Comic-Con extravaganza BY MARSHA SUTTON To say Comic-Con is a spectacle would be a massive understatement. The Exhibit Hall is s e n s o r y Marsha Sutton overload for adults (I couldn’t begin to imagine how the 3- and 4-year-olds in the crowd — and I do mean crowd — were coping), the lines were enormous, the noise deafening, the parking (even the walking) was insane, the costumes outrageous. And the fun? Over-thetop to the extreme. With everything from “Peanuts” and SpongeBob to “The Walking Dead” and “The Vampire Diaries,” fans showed their love en masse. Adoration for the macabre and grotesque gave me the creeps (although I did rather like the zombie Lyft drivers), but fortunately there was much more than gory horror to excite the senses. Comic-Con had it all: science fiction, fantasy, adventure, animation, comic books, games (from Pokemon to Warcraft), Steampunk (I learned what that is by making my own gearthemed bracelet), magic (love for all things Harry Potter is alive and well), cosplay, anime, cards, posters, buttons, dolls, T-shirts … the list is endless. Muppets and “Game of Thrones” might not seem to go together, but somehow it works at Comic-Con, where a delicate fairy princess can stand next to a vengeful vampire for a friendly photo taken by a “Star Wars” stormtrooper. For the uninitiated, adults dressing up in costumes — and acting the part — can seem a little “out there.” So can listening to a panel of grown-ups talking seriously about Harry Potter and the “Potterverse,” unicorns, wizards, a Severus Snape fan club (really?), and the International Quidditch Association (which has 150 college teams and just concluded its eighth World Cup). But the weirdness is contagious, and soon you get caught up in the circuslike atmosphere, so eventually seeing men in tights
and capes and dozens of curvy women in Wonder Woman outfits becomes sort of ho-hum. I confess to being new to geekdom: My friends were dumbstruck when I admitted I didn’t know what the Millennium Falcon was in the Starship Smackdown panel. In my youth I was devoted to Archie Comics and MAD Magazine, and that was pretty much the extent of it. Looney Tunes were the cartoons of the day, and I still remember them fondly. But my love for “Star Trek,” “Star Wars” (despite not knowing the name of the ship piloted by Han Solo), “Ghostbusters,” “Lord of the Rings,” Harry Potter, “Jurassic Park” and “Twilight” (I even have some trading cards, a gift from a friend and fellow “Twilight” groupie), now qualifies me, I suppose, as at least a baby geek, a title I wear proudly. In one panel, titled “2015: The Greatest Geek Year Ever?” panelists declared it to be true. Whether the word “geek” is derogatory or a label to be proud of was debated at a panel titled “The Geek Shall Inherit: A Look at the Evolution of Geek Culture.” But there was little debate. Eight panelists, including four psychologists, basically skipped right over that question with a “what, are you kidding?” dismissal. Self-proclaimed geeks all, they wore their label as a badge of honor. How it all began was with comic books, but the seismic shift happened when comics took over the movies, according to one panelist, who proclaimed the original “Batman” movie in 1989, starring Michael Keaton, the start of a revolution in Hollywood, as producers began to jump on the
SpongeBob SquarePants and his buddy Patrick Star - with a fan superhero theme. Others credited the first “Star Wars” movie, in 1977, as the defining moment when “geek” became OK. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs helped improve the image further. Panelist Jenna Busch, host and founder of the Legion of Leia website, had a different benchmark. “The line for the ladies room at Comic-Con is now a lot longer,” she said, thrilled that there are more “girl geeks” roaming the halls. The serious side of Comic-Con Besides the fandom experience, which gets the most publicity, there were dozens of educational opportunities for teachers, librarians, parents, young children, teens and adults interested in the more cerebral aspects of the ComicCon extravaganza. Intriguing educational themes included how to use comics and graphic novels to enhance reading and learning, making science exciting and accessible, acceptance of differences, and portrayals of women and minorities in comics, games, television and film. A wide range of tutorials engaged audiences on techniques in graphics design, animation, 3-D technology, special effects, board game development, universe creation, adventure and horror writing, character development and how to get published. For a sampler, check out the titles of these panels that focused on learning: •“Comics Make Kids Smarter: Exploring Data-Driven See EDUCATION, page 25

Perhaps you have noticed the tall story poles on some of the hillsides. These represent a height of three stories after retaining walls and fill have been added to raise the existing land contour. The third story is an exception to existing policy and sets a precedence for future taller buildings. Also, the project will scrape the existing landscape and buildings to make room for a 31 percent increase in the number of units. Solana Beach is known for its natural habitat and quaint beach atmosphere. Let’s try to keep it that way. Solana Highlands could be renovated, leaving some of the mature trees and keeping the structures to two stories, without such a large increase in the number of units. Please share your thoughts about this project with the City Council so that they are able to make the best decision for all. Thanks for becoming informed. Gary Lynes
Summer political scrapbook BY GORDON CLANTON No contest? Although the June primary is less than a year away, no Democrat has stepped forward to challenge San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Some speculated that termed-out Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins might run. Although it’s hard to believe she would sit out four years, Toni has formed a fundraising committee to run for Marty Block’s state Senate seat when he is termed out in 2020. That would seem to rule Atkins out for the mayor’s race. To have any chance of beating Faulconer in November 2016, the Democrats need two or more candidates in the June primary. Against a single challenger, the mayor could win election in June. A second or third challenger might prevent Faulconer from getting to 50 percent in the primary. The Democrat who survived would face Faulconer in November, when the allure of the presidential race will increase Democratic turnout. While San Diego County, historically a Republican stronghold, is 35 percent Democratic and 34 percent Republican, in the city of San Diego Dems enjoy a registration edge of 39 to 27 percent — and with independents (Decline to State, DTS) outnumbering Republicans at 29 percent.

Here’s my idea. Since most of the One Paseo traffic will come from the west on Del Mar Heights Road, why not locate one entrance to the center at its northwest corner? As eastbound traffic crosses High Bluff Drive, a new right lane could take cars directly into the shopping center, allowing them to run parallel to DM Heights Road before turning right into the center. This would make it unnecessary for eastbound traffic to go one block further east where it would share a single entrance with westbound traffic turning left into the center. Contrarian. Del Mar resident Peter Kaye died at home June 15. He was 87. Peter won an Emmy for his coverage of the 1974 Watergate hearings for public television. He was a reporter and editor at the San Diego Union-Tribune, retiring in 1993. He worked for Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Pete Wilson. Although we often were on different sides politically, I always enjoyed talking with Peter and held him in high regard because of his many accomplishments.

By John Dawkins, MD Sunny summer days are made for playing outside, and San Diego is the ideal spot for all kinds of sports and activities in and out of the water. While staying active is great for your health, it’s important to understand the dangers of overdoing it in the summer heat. Overexertion, exercising in weather you’re not accustomed to navigating, and dehydration set up the perfect storm for heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heatstroke. Keep summer fun safe with these tips to protect yourself and your family. 1. Stay hydrated. It’s OK to work out in hot, humid weather — and even to push yourself a bit — if you are smart about it. That starts with being well-hydrated. Physiologically, proper hydration can help your body adapt to the heat and keep you protected from heat stress. Drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercise. Drinking a cool beverage will help cool your body as well, especially your core. Avoid ice-cold drinks, which can cause stomach cramps. If you are on a fluid-restricted diet or take diuretics, consult with your doctor before increasing fluids, especially if you are over 65. 2. Choose the best fluids for your activity. As a general rule, if you are exercising for less than an hour, water is probably as good as anything else for both hydration and performance. If your activity stretches beyond an hour, there is some evidence that sports rehydration drinks may be a better option. These drinks provide both carbohydrates and electrolytes, which can aid in fluid absorption and help your performance. Be aware that drinking too much water can actually lower your blood sodium levels, which can be dangerous. Though this is uncommon, if you are drinking a lot of water and sweating heavily, consider switching to a sports drink to help maintain your electrolytes. Avoid caffeinated beverages, which will not hydrate you as well as those without caffeine. 3. Protect yourself from the sun. Use plenty of sunscreen when you are exercising outdoors to protect your skin and avoid sunburn, which can increase your skin temperature. Reapply sunscreen often, especially if you are sweating or in the water. If possible, wear a
hat to keep your head cool. Keeping the sun off your face can also help you feel cooler. Plan outdoor activities in the early morning or evening, avoiding the hottest times of day. On very hot days, consider exercising indoors in an air-conditioned environment. If you have difficulty breathing, feel lightheaded or nauseated, develop a headache or feel your heart pounding, find a cool area, rehydrate and rest. 4. Know the warning signs of heat-related illness. Two of the most common heat-related problems are heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses significant amounts of water and sweat. Symptoms may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness or dizziness, headache, fatigue and nausea or vomiting. If any of these occur, get the person out of the sun and into a cool environment, and rehydrate with a cool beverage. If symptoms persist, seek medical care. Heat stroke is much more serious and results when your body cannot control its rising temperature. It can come on very suddenly and may cause death or organ damage without immediate medical attention. Heat stroke symptoms may include body temperature above 104 degrees, dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, and loss of consciousness. If heat stroke occurs, the first step — even before calling 911 — is to lower the person’s body temperature as quickly as possible. Put the person in an ice bath if available, or place ice packs or cold, wet towels around the body. Then call 911 and try to keep the person cool until help arrives. 5. Pay special attention to children. Be especially careful when your children are outdoors in the summer heat. Children’s bodies aren’t as adept at regulating temperature as those of adults, and kids may be so engrossed in their activities that they don’t realize they are becoming overheated. Follow the same recommendations for hydration and staying cool as with adults, and keep a close eye on them.

Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The long-range plan will guide the development of the 5.3-acre park, which is bounded by Camino del Mar, Ninth Street and Stratford Court. More than half of the funds used to purchase the site, approximately $5.4 million, came from the community. About $3 million came from The Winston School and about $2 million came from private donations. When the city acquired the site, which served as Del Mar Shores School from 1947 to the 1970s, it agreed to a 55-year lease with The Winston School, a private school that has been on the land since 1988. Besides the 1.8-acre school site, the property features recreational areas, such as a baseball field and a basketball court. It also houses the Del Mar Community Building. After Del Mar’s acquisition of the park, some residents were at odds over whether the park should be used for organized sports or off-leash dog use. Eventually, a shared-use plan was agreed upon and put in place, allowing Little League and other licensed sporting groups to use the park from 3:30 p.m. to dusk on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Dogs are allowed to be off-leash from 6 to 8:30 a.m. daily and from 4 p.m. to dusk on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. All other daylight hours not included in the ordinance or used by The Winston School are reserved for general park use, with dogs on leashes and no organized sports. With the planning process in progress, some members of the public are now divided over the Del Mar Community Building, an 1,800-square-foot building that once served as the school district’s administrative offices. In 2012, the city entered into a two-year lease agreement with the Del Mar Foundation, allowing the nonprofit and Del Mar Community Connections to use the building while a master plan is developed for the entire property. The lease was renewed for another two years in 2014. Betty Wheeler, a former foundation board member, said the two local organizations raised $20,000 for renovations, which were made possible by volunteers. Urging council members to retain the building, Wheeler noted that in 2014, the organizations held nearly 80 meetings and other activities at the building, in addition to more than 130 community events. These numbers are typical for the organizations since they moved into the building, according to her data. “The DMCB has proven the need for some indoor activity space for the community, an important complement to the outdoor spaces that will predominate at the Shores

Park, resulting in a park that best meets the full range of community interests and needs,” she said. Laura DeMarco, a resident who contributed to the campaign, disagreed. “The activities of the Del Mar Foundation and Del Mar Community Connections are very valuable for the community,” DeMarco said. “No one is disputing that. The issue is where they should take place.” DeMarco, who suggested the organizations be relocated to the city hall complex, argued that the building should be torn down. “We need open recreational space,” she added. “That was what was promised to our community. That’s how we raised the money.” Seven other speakers addressed the council with differing views on whether the building should remain on the site. Former Mayor Carl Hilliard, who sat on the council when the site was purchased, supported removing the building. “There is no question that the Shores property was acquired for use as a park,” Hilliard said. “A park, by definition, is an open space intended for the recreation and enjoyment of the public.” Bob Gans, who contributed to the campaign and now serves as vice president of the Del Mar Foundation, said the building should stay. “I think it is ideal and totally consistent with the community plan to make sure you maintain that kind of community building … and integrate it fully into these open spaces,” he said. Although council members did not take a side on the issue, some said the organizations should not be relocated to the city hall complex. “I don’t think we need to right away decide ‘Does that building stay or go?’” said Councilman Dwight Worden. “I don’t think we want to step on any of those toes. We want everybody to feel good about the next phase.” Councilman Terry Sinnott suggested that both organizations come up with a third option for consideration. “I remember, and Carl (Hilliard) reminds me, that from the very beginning we have told those organizations that there was only a temporary potential here,” Sinnott said. “We didn’t know until we got the master plan put together whether or not it would fit to have the nonprofits on that site. We’re hoping it will work, but it might not.”

tivists, and police officers. There was a 19-year-old woman in a small Texan border town where the four previous police chiefs had been murdered. “This young lady said, ‘I’ll be the police chief,’” recalled Winslow. However, her actions came with a price, and she too was murdered. “We don’t hear a lot of people talking about this,” he said. “I don’t have any way for accounting for that kind of courage.” On a different note, when asked about his writing process, Winslow quipped, “It’s very dull.” He starts his writing day at 5:30 a.m., “like somebody blew a whistle,” works for several hours, takes a break, then resumes putting in a full eight hours a day, much like a factory job. “I have to bring that kind of discipline to it. I can’t wait for inspiration. I have to show up on time and start the process five or six days a week. I wish it was more interesting.” He also spoke about his background, being one of two children born to a father who was a sailor and a mother who was a librarian. Winslow grew up surrounded by books, listening to his father tell stories about his seafaring days, which affected him and his sister, who is also an author. “Words were always sacred in our house,” he commented.

Paseo Working Group include local residents and representatives from Alliance for Responsible Development Corporation, East Bluff Community Association, Mitigate One Paseo, Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, What Price Main Street and Donahue Schriber. Some of the most vocal opponents of the proposed One Paseo are now working together with Kilroy to find a solution the community can support. “We’re here to start fresh with a project reset,” said new team member Daniel Iacofano of MIG planning and design. “The intent is to gather the community’s feedback and use it to shape a new proposal.” Iacofano has more than 25 years of experience in urban planning and community design and is nationally recognized as an expert in the areas of community participation, consensus building and facilitation. Iacofano said all of the community’s ideas, comments and concepts would result in a net positive and a better project in the end. At the workshop, participants were given stickers to rank preferences and priorities of what they would like to see in the areas of open space and gathering areas, landscaping, architecture and design, traffic and onsite improvements and community benefits. They could also add write-in suggestions at each station, and fill out a comment booklet. When Gwilliam said Kilroy had “hit reset” on the project, he meant it, as participants were able to weigh in with new architect Ramón Hone of 5+ Design on everything from building articulations and arrangements to what kind of windows and roofs they prefer. Participants also shared preferences on landscaping, expressing concerns about water use and seeming to favor color, Mediterranean plants and California natives over options such as formal hedges. Stickers marked “Bouganvillea” and “Coast Live Oak” as favorite options, and

some stated a preference to save as many mature trees as possible on Del Mar Heights Road. Under the originally proposed One Paseo, traffic mitigation to Del Mar Heights Road would have removed 19 mature pine trees. Participants said they wanted to see plantings to soften the project’s residential areas on Del Mar Heights, street-facing cafés, activity centers for children, mostly lawn central plaza and the possibility of a farmers market. As written on the suggestions area, the open space needs to “truly serve who lives here, who walks here.” Since not all of the community benefits proposed with the original 1.45-millionsquare- foot project will be able to be included in the reduced version, residents were also asked which were most important to them. Most in attendance favored the traffic signal coordination and emergency vehicle preemptive program, and the least priority was given to protected bike lanes. Other write-in suggestions for community benefits included a pedestrian bridge over El Camino Real connecting One Paseo with Del Mar Highlands, a bus line on Del Mar Heights Road, and opening the lagoon mouth at Torrey Pines. “We’re really pleased with the turnout and with how constructive the dialogue was at the stations,” said Rachel Laing, One Paseo spokesperson. “Having our architects, landscape designers and traffic engineers hear directly from Carmel Valley residents about both their aspirations and concerns is incredibly valuable.” The working group will continue to meet through August, and people can continue to submit suggestions by emailing talk@onepaseo.com.

with cutouts of the city name and a sunset. It will be constructed on the median with the city name facing east for those entering from Rancho Santa Fe, and the sunset at the west end of the curved piece for traffic on each side of the median on Lomas Santa Fe. The design includes solar lights to illuminate the city name at night. Drought-tolerant landscaping will also be added. The city received four bid proposals, with the $39,990 bid from Oceanside-based Greenfield Fence, Inc. being the lowest of the four. The award includes a construction contingency of approximately 13 percent, or $5,010. The total project will cost $45,600, which includes a $600 ad on the project in the paper. Funds will come from the public arts reserve account, which is funded through the transient occupancy tax paid by hotel visitors. The contract allows for 30 working days, or six weeks, to complete the project. Once constructed, “Gateway to Sunshine” will be the city’s fourth welcome sign. The other three signs include a “Welcome to Solana Beach” sign on South Highway 101 from Encinitas, the Coastal Rail Trail tile arches on North Highway 101 from Del Mar, and a Solana Beach sign with a fish and kelp sculpture at the Eden Gardens Pump Station.
North Coast Symphony Orchestra to perform ‘Pops Picnic II’ July 26 The North Coast Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Daniel Swem, will perform “Pops Picnic II” at 4 p.m. July 26, at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr (at Encinitas Boulevard and Balour Drive), Encinitas. From 2-4 p.m. the orchestra and the San Diego County Music Exchange will sponsor an instrument “petting zoo.” Children attending the petting zoo will receive a free ticket to the concert. The program of light classical and pops music will include “Huapango” by Jose Pablo Moncayo, selections from “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” by Howard Shore, pieces from the musical “Ragtime” by Stephen Flaherty, “The Best of the Beatles” arranged by Calvin Custer, and more.

DMCV Sharks Girls 96-97 Elite going for third National Championship Title Since 2011, the DMCV Sharks have taken their level of soccer to the top by winning back-to-back U.S. Youth National Championships in 2013 and 2014. The Sharks will defend their title in Tulsa from July 20-26 after qualifying in March through National League play in North Carolina and Las Vegas. The U.S. Women’s National Soccer team and their The U.S. Women’s National Soccer team and their third third World Cup Champion- World Cup Championship have inspired the Sharks for ship have inspired the Sharks many years. Courtesy photo for many years, though team members were only 2 and 3 years old when the U.S. won its last World Cup in 1999. In 2011, the Sharks were watching the finals while traveling to Sweden to play in the Gothia Cup. The Sharks lost in PKs in the semifinals of that cup, so they shared the feeling of defeat with the U.S. women. The development of their soccer skills on and off the field comes from Coach Felicia Kappes. She has taught them to work hard, believe in themselves, be mentally tough enough to compete on the national stage and be ready to move to the next level at college. “This team, simply put, is extremely special. They embody all that is right in competitive youth soccer,” she said in a recent interview with GoalNation. “They play this sport for all the right reasons and approach this game and their opponents with respect and sportsmanship. We have discussed all along the way that we are constantly learning valuable life lessons on and off the field. To see them grow up into incredible young women from little girls who truly love being together has been a blessing for me and for the DMCV Sharks Club.” The team, Kappes added, is so fortunate to have won not just one but two National Championships, “so we have experience to draw from. ... I know this team will compete every minute of every game, since this is their last journey together, so I look forward to Oklahoma this summer.” Just after the USA world Cup win, Kappes was told by a friend that her girls are the embodiment of the U.S. team at the club level. “These young ladies represent the best of youth soccer. I am so incredibly proud of them and all they have accomplished but I’m even more proud by how they did it and the incredible qualities they possess. I will forever feel blessed to have coached these extraordinary young women,” replied Kappes. Shannon MacMillan, director of competitive coaches for DMCV Sharks Soccer Club and a member of the 1999 World Cup Champion team as well the 1996 Olympic Gold medal team, commented, “The on-field success the girls have experienced is a culmination of hard work, sacrifice and buying into the team concept. For years, the girls have stuck together, and with the guidance of Felicia, have worked twice as hard as others. “One of the best aspects about this team is that they are all incredible, confident young women off the field as well. There is zero doubt that each and every player in this team will go on to be successful leaders in college and wherever they settle after. This team truly embodies the spirit of what the Sharks stand for and I couldn’t be more proud of them. I am thankful for the example they have set and the inspiration they have given the younger players in the Sharks organization!” Good luck to Lili, Kristen, Crystal, Dominique, Riley, Huli, Brooklyn, Adrianna, Hailey, Hannah, Zisi, Shelby, Melissa, Gianna, Natalie, Jordie, Sam, Angel and Sydney at Nationals as they compete for their final time together as the DMCV Sharks G96-97 Elite team.

“It ended up being the easiest hill there was,” Hooker said. The race started at 5 a.m. and the winner, Rob Krar, was done before the sun set, in 14:48:59. For others, like Hooker, the race goes into the night with runners donning headgear to light their way. “I break the race into sub-races: the first day, the night race and the next-day race, because I’m a bit slower,” Hooker said. “I run aid station to aid station. I tell myself, ‘I just need to go eight more miles,’ rather than ‘I’ve got to go 88 more miles.’ “Every race typically has a low, and the low can be small or a big low,” he said. Hooker’s big low came after mile 30 — he’d just had a very long climb to Robinson Flat in the peak of the day’s 98-degree heat. He reached the aid station where Team Hooker was waiting to greet him. Typically, he remembers the ultra-runner’s credo of “Beware of the chair” (meaning once you sit, it’s pretty hard to get back up), but he found a rock in the shade and sat down. “My wife was aghast. She said, ‘You don’t ever sit down!’” Hooker recalled. He usually tries not to spend more than two minutes at an aid station, mostly just taking time to refill his water bottles and get a protein shake from Charlene. Each aid station in Western States is manned by a volunteer crew, whose mission it is to keep their eyes on the runners for any health problems and to keep them on course when they start to feel defeated. One such volunteer was key to getting Hooker back on his feet. “He said, ‘I know you’re hot and tired, but I can see in your eyes that you’re not done yet, so get up and go,’” Hooker said, growing emotional remembering that “wonderful” volunteer’s motivational words. “Those little things, they just get you going because physically you don’t want to. The body will do what the mind believes. That was my mantra I repeated many, many times. And I visualized that belt buckle in my mind.” So on (and on) he went, through crests and descents with names like Miller’s Defeat, Dusty Corners, Last Chance and Devil’s Thumb. The race had fantastic, “awe-inspiring” views that Hooker had to remind himself to stop and take in. His pacer, King, joined him for 38 miles. While he grabbed a cooked potato at one aid station, he mostly subsisted on water and his wife’s protein shakes. “That’s my carrot,” he said of Charlene’s magic almond milk-and-protein concoction. “It really refuels me.” As it was very hot that day, Hooker was really chasing the clock the whole time to try and stay under 30 hours. Not until he reached the Placer High track and saw that he had a 30-minute buffer could he finally let go. He had studied Western States for years

and knew every part of the race by heart. His eyes welled up when he t a l k e d a b o u t how long he had visualized himself on that track, on the homestretch of a 100-mile feat of endurance. At the Topping a mountain on the last aid sta- brutal 100-mile race. tion at Robie Point, anyone can join the runners for the last 1.5 miles of the course. Theresa (who runs cross country at Santa Fe Christian) and Sami were waiting to run with him. Sami peeled off as they reached the entrance to the track, and he and his daughter did the last quarter-mile lap together — a race photographer capturing the “awesome” moment with smiles on both their faces. “It was amazing how many people were enthusiastically cheering, almost overjoyed for you that you made it,” Hooker said. “To do that for every runner, to have that much enthusiasm, for me that was special. That was the high.” As much as he loves the challenge of 100-mile races, he admits he does really like the end of them. “When I crossed the line, my answer was ‘No, I’m not running this again.’ My answer today is ‘Absolutely,’” said Hooker last week, wearing his belt buckle and a Western States button-up, and walking with a proud hobble. At the end of August, Hooker will run in the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, a mountainous 103-mile quest through the Swiss Alps. Different from Western States, UTMB stays at an elevation of 8,000 feet and involves a lot more power hiking in the rugged terrain. The cut-off is 46 hours; last year’s winner did it in 22 hours. “Even the fast guy and gals go much slower, so it’s a different style of race,” Hooker said. In October, he plans to run the Cuyamaca 100K, a 62-mile race. Hooker hasn’t run since Western States and is taking a two-week break from running. “Mentally, it’s hard, because running is a love,” Hooker said. “But I do need to let my body recover and respect that I put it through a lot.”

it’s opening dialogues for people. Having them open up to me and feeling like we aren’t so alone … we can all come together and try to do something to make a difference. “I thought sometimes I was embarrassed or I was ashamed or was failing. I thought I was the only one — that everyone else must be doing it better. If one person can come away with strength or courage to stick with it or reach out their hand to somebody else going through it… then it (her book) was worth it.” Chris and Taya’s noble-mindedness lives on in the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation (chris kylefrogfoundation.org), founded by Taya in honor of her late husband. The foundation provides couple getaways from daily distractions — a rare chance to relax, connect, and interact meaningfully. Taya advises, “Whatever your faith is — lean into it. Be able to be raw and own it. Realize your shortcomings don’t make you a failure — they just make you real. It’s OK to talk about it and get some help.” According to Taya, Chris Kyle stayed true to himself to the last day with her here in this ever-changing world. “He was a good man,” she declared. “I loved him.” Taya, the “American Wife,” is healing as life cycles on. “Growth is what I went through all the way through and I’m still growing, but compassion is where I’m at now.” For more information visit, http://www.harpercollins.com/cr-115643/taya-kyle. “American Wife” is available on www.Amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com and more.

CCA grad to participate in medical mission trip to Armenia, will hold fundraiser July 18 BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Allie Calderon will be traveling on a medical mission trip to Armenia with International Medical Relief (IMR) July 30 through Aug. 9. A 2011 graduate of Canyon Crest Academy, Calderon recently graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor’s degree in animal science. While at Davis, she also received her Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certification and she plans to apply to nursing school in the fall. “Originally, I wanted to be a veterinarian and I worked in the vet hospital at Davis for three years. But I just realized it was not for me,” said Calderon, 21. “Being a nurse, being a patient advocate and being on the front lines of patient care was what I really wanted to do with my life.” The director of her EMT program at Davis was the one who introduced her to International Medical Relief, a non-profit that serves underserved patients through medical mission trips all over the world. This is the first time IMR is sending a medical mission to Armenia. Past missions have gone to Haiti, Central and South America, Africa, Russia and southeast Asia. Armenia piqued Calderon’s interest as she has many Armenian friends and she is interested in learning about their heritage and history, as well as giving back. As Calderon noted, not many people know about the Armenian genocide, which just marked its 100year anniversary in April. During and after World War I an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed by
Carmel Valley’s Allie Calderon, a recent graduate of UC Davis, will be using her EMT skills on an International Medical Relief trip to Armenia. the Ottomans. Many countries, including the United States, do not recognize what happened as a genocide and instead refer to the events as a tragic massacre; however, the legislatures of 43 individual states have passed resolutions recognizing the genocide. “A lot of villages are still trying to recover from the decimation they experienced,” Calderon said, noting many remote mountainous villages lack access to regular healthcare. “They need help, especially medical care and for things here that we take for granted…It’s difficult for them to get something as simple as Tylenol.” On the mission, Calderon will join a team of 14 people, which includes doctors, nurses, a dentist, medical students and non-medical volunteers — she will be the only EMT. They will stay in Yerevan, the largest city in Armenia, and will take daily bus trips out to villages that lack medical infrastructure and set up patient clinics. “Usually the teams do more acute care but for the first time we will be doing chronic medical management for things like diabetes and hypertension,” Calderon said. Calderon will focus on doing general exams, wound care and patient education. “I feel prepared,” Calderon said. “In EMT training, you learn how to talk to people and what questions to ask to narrow the problem down so the doctor knows what they’re looking at.” As International Medical Relief is wholly funded by donations, each volunteer is responsible for a portion of fundraising. To help raise money, Calderon is holding a garage sale on Saturday, July 18, beginning at 8 a.m. at 12680 Aida Street in Carmel Valley (92130). Calderon is also accepting donations for her trip. Needed items include medical supplies and toiletries, such as toothbrushes and travel size shampoo, hand-sanitizer and soap. To contact Calderon, email allie_calderon@yahoo.com.

CCA’s cybersecurity team goes to Cyber Boot Camp BY KAREN BILLING Current and recently graduated Canyon Crest Academy cybersecurity team students participated in Securing Our eCity’s Cyber Boot Camp this summer. Securing Our eCity is a non-profit that helps facilitate a safer cyber experience for digital citizens in San Diego. According to security solutions provider ESET that sponsors the boot camp, right now there is a shortage of people with the skills and training required to defend computer systems against criminals who range from data thieves to terrorists. Addressing this problem through improvements in education and career guidance is critical for the future. A select group of students is invited to attend Cyber Boot Camp every June for five days of intense education in the art of defending computer systems. The group of students from CCA was able to attend the boot camp for free as a result of being finalists in the Mayor’s Cup in April. The Mayor’s Cup is a cybersecurity competition in which teams are given machines and networks to secure. The team’s security implementations are then tested by a group of hackers trying to gain unauthorized access to the networks. CCA’s cybersecurity team included rising seniors Simon Kuang and Kevin Wu, junior Emilia Copic, sophomores Nathan Thomsen and Rithvik Rao, and class of 2015 CCA grads Grant Summers, Keshav Tadimeti and Jonathan Luck. All attended Cyber Boot Camp June 22-26. “This was my second year attending Securing Our eCity boot camp, and to me it is worth it because of the freedom on exploring and learning,” said Jonathan, who will attend UC San Diego in the fall to study computer science. “We got to do stuff ranging from flying quadcopters (drones) to network exploitation. We had an isolated network that we were free to try things out in without worrying about damaging anything important.” Jonathan said this year’s camp had a lot more guest speakers with military and National Guard backgrounds. He said it was interesting to see that in that setting they need personnel that have the students’ particular skill sets. Each student in boot camp came away armed with a lot of tips for staying secure online. Jonathan said the overarching theme is “use common sense.” “Don’t download files from places you don’t trust. Don’t open suspicious emails or click suspicious links. Don’t plug in USB drives you find on the ground or around the office,” Jonathan advised. “ If you have children, make sure they understand this as well.” Securing Our eCity has a lot more information and resources on its website: securingourecity.org/individuals-family.

Fair Trade Student’s play previews July 19 at CCA before opening at Fringe Festival Décor hosts ‘Jeweler of the Sahara’ on July 31
Jacob Surovsky, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy and a Theater Conservatory student, is producing an original play at the San Diego Fringe Festival this summer, with a preview at 7 p.m. July 19 at the school. The play, “My Mother’s in the Audience,” is a dark comedy about four stage mothers who engage in a deadly competition in hopes of winning the coveted award of best parental coordinator.

The show will be playing at the RAW Space Off Broadway in downtown San Diego, 923 1st Ave. Showdates are: 6 p.m. July 23; 1 p.m. July 25; 9 p.m. July 26; 10:30 p.m. July 28; and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1. Admission to the San Diego Fringe Festival is $5 in the form of a Fringe Tag, Ticket Price is $10. For information, visit mmita.weebly.com or facebook.com/mymothersintheaudience. Jacob has been working on his play since February 2014. He submitted the script to the San Diego Playwright’s Project Plays By Young Writers Contest in June 2014, in hopes it would be chosen to receive a full professional production. His play was selected as a finalist, placing it in the top 21 out of 581 submissions. However, because of the dark comedy, onstage violence, and adult language in the play, it was unable to be considered for a full production. After his experience in the 2014 San Diego International Fringe Festival as a street performer in a student-made busking group, Jacob decided to produce his play at the 2015 San Diego Fringe Festival, where edgy shows are the norm. The show was accepted into the Festival, and “My Mother’s in the Audience” is now on track to becoming reality. For information about the festival please visit: www.sdfringe.org.

Each piece is hand-hammered using simple tools and beautifully engraved with the symbolism and motifs of generations. The Tuareg believe that jewelers have special powers because of their handling of fire in the making of the jewelry. The traditionally nomadic Tuareg, native to the Sahara desert, are often called “the Blue People of the desert” because of the indigo dye on their garments that stains their skin. Elhadji, the family patriarch, was born and lived as a nomad until he was 10. He was the first in his family to attend school. As an adult, he first visited the United States with almost nothing in his possession but the jewelry of the Tuareg people, which he sold at street events in northern California. This year, he is representing 50 artisans from Niger at festivals, museums and events in nine U.S. cities, including the Santa Fe Folk Art Festival.

Send in the crowds for ‘Side By Side By Sondheim’ at North Coast Rep
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER The songs of Broadway and film composer Stephen Sondheim, who masterfully crafts music and lyrics to the characters within his stories, comes to the North Coast Repertory Theatre, July 15–Aug. 9 in the revue “Side By Side By Sondheim,” directed by David Ellenstein. Soprano Angelina Réaux, noted interpreter of another musical great, Kurt Weill, is one of the cast. Born in Houston, Texas, trained as an actress and a classical singer, she made her New York Philharmonic debut singing “The Seven Deadly Sins.” Her one-woman Weill show, “Stranger Here Myself,” was first produced at the New York Shakespeare Festival. Réaux also sang in Leonard Bernstein’s “Jeremiah Symphony” at the Vienna Konzerthaus; and for the Chicago Opera Theater’s 25th season she conceived, directed and participated in the premiere of a “There Is a Garden: A Bernstein Celebration.” She said she and her husband, also an opera singer, recently moved to San Diego, and she was looking for a show. “I saw that the North Coast Rep was going to do ‘Side by Side by Sondheim,’ and I had done the show before, so I called to inquire about it. David Ellenstein invited me to audition, and I got a part.” Recalling her “break” into operatic music, Réaux said she was cast in the first national tour for “Sweeney Todd.” During the 23th performance at the Kennedy Center Opera House, she had a horrible accident. “I went down the trap door, and it didn’t work,” she said. “The floor didn’t open up on time and I fell and my boots got caught and I broke both of my ankles, and the bones in my left foot were broken, and my foot was almost ripped off my leg. I didn’t walk for almost two years. “In a wheelchair, I started going to opera classes because Hal Prince, who produced the Broadway version of ‘Side By Side By Sondheim,’ came to the hospital and gave me a book on opera.” In “Side By Side By Sondheim” there’s a narrator who explains what show the songs are from, and in some cases, provides background on why a song was written. He also notes comparing and contrasting Sondheim themes. “I sing ‘Send in the Clowns,’ and ‘I’m Still Here,’” Réaux said. “Everyone has great numbers, and I really like mine. All the music is fantastic, and it’s not only Sondheim’s music but it’s Leonard Bernstein’s as well. It’s ‘West Side Story,’ ‘Gypsy,’ and so many others, because Sondheim wrote the lyrics for those songs when he was just starting out. “What ties this show together are the singer, two women and a man, and the narrator, Nick. He’s the one who strings the songs together. He has such a nice voice that David has him singing some of the songs as well, like ‘Being Alive’ from ‘Company.’ “
Randall Dodge, Angelina Réaux, Alby Potts, Rena Strober, and Nicholas MongiardoCooper rehearse for “Side By Side By Sondheim.” Photo/Aaron Rumley Réaux said theatergoers would hear everything from beautiful ballads to bawdy comical songs. “The lyrics are so rich and powerful, and there’s so much drama in each one. Sondheim is a supreme lyricist. I just hope everyone comes out to see this show. It’s going to be great.” • IF YOU GO: ‘Side By Side By Sondheim’ runs July 15-Aug 9 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $37, (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

Racetrack concert series gearing up for another sensational season BY ROB LEDONNE It’s an early Wednesday afternoon and Chris Bahr, the Director of Events and Promotions at the Del Mar Racetrack, is perusing through a list of upcoming artists slated to perform during the Racetrack’s famed concert series this summer. “We’re thrilled with this year’s lineup,” notes Bahr, who is one of the masterminds behind the long-running North County staple. “I think 2015 is our most diverse year ever.” Looking at the list, it’s easy to see why. From reggae (The Wailers, Ziggy Marley) to electronic (Paul Oakanfold) and even parody (“Weird Al” Yankovic), this summer’s lineup offers enough genres to please as many demographics as possible. “91X FM is our radio sponsor, so we look for bands that fit within their mold,” explains Bahr of the alternative station based out of Mira Mesa. “But with 11 or 12 acts every season, we’re looking to branch out with one or two as well.” The way the track is branching out this year is apparent by the choice of Yankovic, the parody singer who has been a draw since the 1980s with his take-offs of songs by Michael Jackson (Yankovic spun his hit “Beat It” into the food ode “Eat It”) to the present day, when he lampooned Robin Thicke (turning his smash “Blurred Lines” into “Word Crimes,” which focused on common grammatical errors). “Believe it or not, Weird Al is one of the people I’m really looking forward to seeing,” says Bahr of the performer who staged a comeback last summer thanks to
The popular setting for the racetrack concert series. Courtesy photo a string of viral hits. “He really captures people’s attention, so I’m interested in what kind of crowd he draws.” Rockers, of course, will also be well-represented this summer, with a performance by Southern California’s very own The Offspring (known for their late ’90s, early ’00s hits like “Pretty Fly” and “Why Don’t You Get a Job”). Weezer, another SoCal act who rose to fame around the same time with chart-toppers such as “Beverly Hills” and “Island in the Sun,” closes out this year’s series for Labor Day. (Their last appearance in 2010 drew 25,000 extra people and Bahr is expecting a big crowd this time around as well.) Planning for the summer-long lineup began in the midst of last year’s series and ramps up during the winter, as Bahr and his team look at a variety of factors — from scheduling to budget — when it comes to booking the acts that grace the Racetrack’s stage. “It’s actually a year-round planning process,” says Bahr, noting he’ll look at who’s available to travel to Del Mar on a Friday or Saturday — the only nights the track holds concerts. “Unlike other places who can have shows during the week, we only look at who can come on the weekends,” he explains. “There’s also so much competition in the area — now, more than ever.” Starting as way to draw more people to the track, the concert series began in the mid 1990s and took years to develop. “I think we really kicked off when Jack Johnson played here,” Bahr says of the show that launched the series into the next level. “This was about the same time when he went from an unknown to a superstar in a very short time. Judging by the attendance he brought that day, we figured we were onto something.” Since then, the series has drawn a variety of top acts — everyone from ZZ Top to Alice in Chains, but there still are some dream acts the track is working on getting for the future. “Beck, Billy Idol, and The Black Keys are on the top of our list,” says Bahr. “We’d even hope to have a country act like Willie Nelson in the future.” For more on the Racetrack’s concert series and to see a complete schedule, check out their home on the web: www.DMTC.com.

Lux Art Institute announces eclectic line-up for season nine BY DIANE Y. WELCH The Lux Art Institute recently announced a diverse lineup of artist residencies for season nine, 2015-16. Introduced by Lux Founding Director Reesey Shaw — who commented that revealing the artists is her favorite task — the five artists represent variety both stylistically and geographically. • Max Earnst Greis (in studio Sept. 12-Oct. 3, on exhibit through Oct. 31), a New York native, creates photo collage and acrylic landscapes reminiscent of Dutch Old Master works akin to those of Bruegel, yet influenced by Dada surrealism. He overlays video footage onto the surface of the work, creating a kinetic image that morphs the scene, making “a living, breathing landscape,” said Shaw. On his journey by train from New York to California, Greis, an MFA graduate from Hunter College, New York, will videotape the landscape and use it to create pieces during his five week residency. • Charles Moxon (in studio Nov. 14-Dec. 5, on exhibit through Jan. 2, 2016), a British artist educated at Camberwell College of Art, is a master portraitist and is the youngest Lux resident artist to date, born in London in 1990. His works “call to mind Vermeer,” said Shaw. Moxon photographs his subjects and then re-creates their images in the style of 17th century European Old Masters, with painstaking precision. The result is a work of art that speaks openly to the viewer, creating an intimate connection. Moxon often calls on performers to pose for him and during his residency, he will seek out local actors and create their portraits. • Sophia Narrett (in studio Jan. 16-Feb. 13, on exhibit through March 12, 2016), works in the fiber arts realm creating embroidered paintings. She was educated in Rhode Island, and is an alumna of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Her current work provides a setting for what she terms “honest fantasy,” said Shaw. Strongly influenced by the 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch, Narrett’s brilliantly colored and heavily textured works that re-create bucolic scenes “envelop her own experience as well as societal fantasies about desire, identity and gender,” as noted in her artist’s statement. During her stay, Narret — who uses reality TV shows as
Left: Angela Kallus: “Fatal Error”
Left: Sophia Narrett: “Stars Align”
inspiration — will create a series of embroidery paintings and will sculpt polymer clay statues to augment her fiber works. • Margaret Griffith (in studio March 26-April 16, on exhibit through May 28, 2016), reinterprets urban and residential landscapes, specifically residential gates. A native of North Carolina, now living in Los Angeles — with an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan — Griffith photographs the often-ornate gate designs, then reinterprets them into delicate white paper cut-outs and large-scale aluminum installations, cut using a highpowered waterjet process. She uses the gate as a metaphor for urban boundaries and as a symbol of both safety and isolation. During her stay, Griffith will construct large metal installations using gates in the local neighborhoods as inspiration and will also gather audio recordings of the gates’ owners documenting how they feel about their gates and what they mean to them. • Rounding out the season is Texas-based Angela Kallus (in studio June 11-July 9, on exhibit through July 30, 2016).
Her current work uses rose motifs that “at once embrace and upend traditional symbols of femininity and romance,” noted Shaw. An MFA alumna of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Kallus creates thousands of brightly hued rosettes by filling a cake decorator’s funnel with thick acrylic paint, which she then pipes into forms much like decorating a wedding cake. The delicate rosettes are hardened, then thoughtfully positioned in a variety of patterns on canvas and sprayed to create a non-reflective surface, creating the impression that the rosettes are made of wax. During her residency, Kallus will complete one largescale and four small-scale panels, creating thousands of perfectly formed rosettes in the process. Lux’s final artist-in-residence for season eight, 2014-15, is Squeak Carnwath, whose work will be on exhibit through Aug. 8. The Lux Art Institute is at 1550 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Highlands Jewelers a one-stop shop for every aspect of fine jewelry and gemstones • Longtime family-owned business also gives back to the community in a variety of ways BY DIANE Y. WELCH With an interior that sparkles with satin platinum and sapphire blue decor, the brightly lit showroom of Highlands Jewelers seems like a jewel itself. Located in the Piazza Carmel shopping center, the family-owned business has been serving the Carmel Valley community at that same spot for 22 years. Prior to that it was located at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center for five years, hence the name, which is so recognizable there was no reason to change it. The business is a community asset not only serving neighborhood clients for almost three decades, but also supporting local schools and non-profits through generous donations of items for silent auctions and through participation in community events. “It’s our way of giving back to our neighbors,” said coowner Victor Manoushakian who also serves on the Carmel Valley planning board representing retail businesses. “We are very grateful to our local clients and we want to thank them for all these years of support.” Manoushakian and his wife Jeannette are partners in their jewelry business and now daughter Julia, 21, is taking an active part, too. The couple also have two sons; each of the children attended Carmel Valley schools, kindergarten through high school. Living close to Piazza Carmel is a benefit as family members are able to walk to work, “making us environmentally friendly,” joked Manoushakian. A full-service specialized business, Highlands Jewelers is a one-stop-shop for every aspect of fine jewelry and gemstones. Bonded and insured, they offer custom services, personalized jewelry, repairs and remakes — that can transform heirloom pieces to fit modern lifestyles and tastes — or create one-of-a-kind pieces for special occasions using a stateof-the-art laser welding machine for fine work. The keen eye and creative masterly design of Manoushakian translates into unique pieces done in-house, never contracted out, for a personal touch not found in mall jewelers. Clients are treated like extended family and ad-
A Pandora Charm
Victor Manoushakian and Julia Manoushakian Courtesy photo dressed by first names. Renowned for their engagement rings, they also carry a wide range of wedding bands –some of them crafted from titanium, tungsten and ceramic — GIA (Gemological Institute of America)-certified gemstones (Manoushakian is a GIA alumnus) and a large variety of ring settings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more. And unique to Highlands Jewelers is the San Diego memento Pandora Charm, not available in any other jewelry store. Services include ring sizing, watch band sizing, watch repair, watch servicing, jewel setting, cleaning and appraisals. If needed, a member of the Manoushakian family will do a house visit to appraise items. In the time-honored tradition of apprenticeship, Julia – who is an expert in the specialty line of Pandora Charms
and will soon attend the GIA gemologist program – is following in her father’s footsteps. A master jeweler and designer her father — born in Beirut of Armenian heritage — started learning his craft as a child. As a young adult, Manoushakian moved to Montreal where he honed his skills to reflect more modern tastes and where he was educated in the business of jewelry. Learning from the best, he worked for Burkes in Canada then emigrated to La Jolla, working for Bowers Jewelers for 13 years before settling in the Carm-
el Valley area to raise his family and establish his own business in 1989. “We were one of the first pioneer businesses to be established in the Highlands shopping center,” Manoushakian commented. “There was no 56 freeway and most of the area was undeveloped dirt.” A mainstay in local small businesses today, Highland Jewelers represents the best of both worlds of classical jewelry and modern jewelry. “We cater to all types of clients,” commented Manoushakian. Those who prefer the traditional designs and those who prefer designs more current will find something suitable to their tastes, he said. Highlands Jewelers is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, closed Sundays except by appointment. Visit them online at www.highlandsjewelerssd. com or call (858) 481-9193. The showroom is located at Piazza Carmel Shopping Center, 3830 Valley Centre Dr #706, San Diego, CA 92130. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.
Exec Trek at Volcan Mountain offered July 25 Trish Boaz, executive director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, invites hikers and nature lovers to join her from 8:30 a.m.-noon July 25 for an Exec Trek at Volcan Mountain in Julian, the headwaters of the San Dieguito River. The hike — roughly 5 miles, rated “strenuous” — is free. Reservations appreciated. The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is home to mixed conifer, oak and cedar forest, native grassland and seasonal ponds. The woodland transitions to desert chaparral on the rugged, drier, east side of the ridge. This extensive montane ecosystem supports many sensitive plant and animal species. Two trails take visitors to the summit of Volcan Mountain, with sweeping views of Earthquake Valley and the Salton Sea. A clear day may even reveal the ocean beyond the rolling expanse of Santa Ysabel Valley. The Five Oaks Trail is a beautiful retreat from the main route, with examples of each of the oak species that give the trail its name. The striking entry monument was designed by architect James Hubbell and constructed by dedicated volunteers. Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is accessible from Farmer Road north of Julian. Parking is available on Farmer Road. Register at: http://form.jotform.us/form/51694636107156. Questions: Email trish@sdrvc. org.

Porkyland ready to bring its Mexican fare to Torrey Hills Center BY KAREN BILLING Fish tacos, carne asada burritos and chipotle chicken jumbo quesadillas will soon be served up to cure Mexican food cravings, as a new Porkyland location is set to open in Torrey Hills Center this week. The restaurant has built a reputation in San Diego over the past 33 years for its authentic Mexican food, particularly its award-winning carnitas. Owners Pepe and Deborah Stepensky, a pair of longtime locals, are responsible for bringing Porkyland to the neighborhood. The Stepenskys have lived in Torrey Hills since 2000, raising their three children there. For a long time, they’ve been eyeing the space they now occupy, watching as it transitioned from an ice cream shop to a bagel shop, and often asking to be a part of the center. “We’re very, very excited to be here, it’s so perfect,� Stepensky said. “We live just two blocks away and we’re very hands-on. We love to be in the restaurant and talk to our customers.� Stepensky is the third owner of Porkyland, which got its start in 1982 as a tortilla factory. The first Porkyland eatery was in Barrio Logan. Stepensky, who also owns San Diego Burger Company and Margarita’s Kitchen and Cantina in Seaport Village, became connected with the Porkyland family years ago when he offered to help after the restaurant was damaged in a fire. The Stepenskys remained connected with Porkyland’s second owner and bought the restaurant from him eight years ago when he decided to sell. Porkyland’s Barrio Logan location has since closed, but its La Jolla location on Torrey Pines Road has been there for 33 years. Neither Pepe or Deborah started in the restaurant industry before they moved from Mexico 29 years ago. Deborah was in TV production, and Pepe was in advertising. He still works with a theater company in San Diego and creates short films, such as the Emmy-winning documentary, “The Land of Milk and Honey.� “Our creative sides are very good for the restaurant industry, because you need to be creative,� Stepensky said. Deborah takes pride in crafting the menus, and they both had a lot of fun designing the look of the new Porkyland. Local artist Joel Sharp painted the walls to look like an old Mexican taco shop, with exposed brick and wood. They gave the floors a concrete finish, selected shabby-chic chairs and have chalkboard menus above the counter. Everything on the menu is made fresh, using classic “time-honored� authentic methods. It takes six hours to make the Porkyland’s famous carnitas in La Olla, an enormous special-made copper pot, four feet deep and 34 inches in diameter, that can be seen behind the
Pepe and Deborah Stepensky will open Porkyland in the Torrey Hills Shopping Center. Courtesy photo counter. “It has to be copper, because the carnitas needs to be evenly heated. In a regular pot, it heats differently,� Stepensky said. Porkyland’s carnitas can be stuffed into tacos, burritos or jumbo quesadillas and the menu includes lots of different options such as shrimp, veggie, chicken mole and carne asada tacos, burritos, quesadillas and quesatacos. “Everyone loves our carne asada,� Stepensky said. “We think our carne asada is going to be big here.� The Porky Signature burrito stars carnitas, chile relleno, rice and sour cream, and the Deborah’s Special comes with carne asada and nopalito cactus.

Jackson Galaxy receives 2015 ‘Humane Award’ from Helen Woodward Animal Center On July 11, the Helen Woodward Animal Center presented Jackson Galaxy (animal advocate, best-selling author, luminary for the International Remember Me Thursday campaign and host of Animal Planet’s hit show “My Cat From Hell”) with the 2015 “Humane Award.” The annual award was presented in front of an “invitation-only group of special guests” at the home of hosts and long-time Helen Woodward Animal Center supporters June and Neil Ash in Rancho Santa Fe. Galaxy has over two decades of experience in the cat behavior world. He began his career in the trenches of an animal shelter, working nine years on staff at Boulder Valley Humane Society where he met Dr. Jean Hofve, a respected holistic veterinarian. Together they refined her line of holistic remedies for animals and began ‘Spirit Essences’ in 1995, using the products as part of a holistic approach to health and behavior in the shelter, as well as in Jackson’s private cat consultation business. Jackson ran both companies for 16 years and eventually moved them to Los Angeles where he became an internationally known TV host and star when Animal Planet premiered “My Cat From Hell” in 2011. The show followed Galaxy as he made house calls to pet guardians and their cats, offering clients a deeper understanding of why cats act out, with insights and exercises from his unique “Cat Mojo” philosophy. Galaxy is also a celebrated author and an award-winning co-designer of the Jackson Galaxy Collection cat product-line. He published his first book (a memoir), “Cat Daddy: What the World’s Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean in 2012” and co-authored with cat style expert Kate Benjamin, the book ‘Catification: Designing
Honoree Jackson Galaxy, 20-year HW volunteer Marie Brown with Abby, HW President/CEO Mike Arms a Happy & Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!)’ in 2014. Upon its release, it reached #1 on the New York Times Animal Bestseller list. His innovative cat products, released in partnership with Petmate Pet Products, won the Industry Recognition Award from Pet Business Magazine and the Editor’s Choice Award from Cat Fancy, ranking the line among the year’s best products for cats. Today, Jackson is intensifying his work for animals through the Jackson Galaxy Foundation, whose mission is to
better the lives of sheltered animals by transforming the places they live and helping the people who care for them. The Humane Award is presented annually by Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO, Mike Arms, to a person or entity that has made a significant positive impact on the animal welfare world – devoting their time, energy, and resources to improving the quality of life for orphaned animals. Past recipients include Kristen Bell, Diane Keaton, Betty White, Tippi Hedren, and Linda Blair. This year’s presentation is a very personal one for Arms who championed the International Remember Me Thursday campaign. Galaxy signed on as a luminary in 2014, pledging to share the campaign’s important message on the September Day of Remembrance for orphan pets who had lost their lives without finding forever homes. His social media posts and tweets single-handedly resulted in thousands of media impressions and shares in a single day, increasing awareness and touching the lives of shelter pets waiting for rescue. He has signed on again as a luminary for the 2015 campaign. “We are honored to present this award to such a truly outstanding individual,” said Arms, “Jackson Galaxy has dedicated himself and his life to these beautiful creatures and he has our enduring respect and unwavering friendship.” For more information, visit www.animalcenter.org.

Rally for Change: More San Diego Communities in Need of Roadway Safety Improvements In my last column, I reported on some of the road problems that La Jolla residents had been experiencing in our otherwise lovely city. In a neighboring community, the same issues are at stake. The city of Coronado is an idyllic, beautiful San Diego gem. It has a low crime rate, beautiful scenery and it is home to some of the most beautiful real estate in all of San Diego –
jjustt llike ik L La JJolla. ll SSo h how iis it tthat h tad dangerous intersection has gone under the radar for so long? This is the precise question that Coronado residents are speaking out against in light of two tragic accidents that have occurred at the intersection of 4th Street and B Avenue. The outpouring of concern follows on the heels of the tragic death of an elderly man at the intersection in question – only a year after a teenager in a separate incident was hit at the same location. The teen suffered a catastrophic brain injury as a result of the collision. Fortunately, he survived. Now residents say the intersection is to blame. At the same time, residents are furious that nothing has been done to solve the issue that currently plagues the community. According to San Diego Fox 5 New (5/26/2015), residents have urged city officials to make a change –fast –before another accident occurs, but nothing has yet been done to prevent the next Coronado accident at

that Officials blame on ““red th t iintersection. t ti O ffi i l place l bl d tape” and they say that nothing can be done for at least the next three years. Many residents have asked for a traffic light to be installed while others still remain split over the issue due to a potential decrease in property values. Other Coronado residents say they simply do not want the increase of traffic that a light may bring to the neighborhood. Multiple municipal interests in the street have made the process to improvement even more entangled. City council has not yet made a decision on what action will be taken on Third Street. As for La Jolla roadway repairs, issues such as overgrown shrubbery, uneven sidewalks and potentially dangerous intersections remain. To read more about what can be done in our city, click here. VOICING CONCERNS OVER DANGEROUS STREET CONDITIONS If you are like many Coronado residents
hoping contact City Council h i for f a change, h t t the th C it C il of Coronado and voice your concerns. Coronado city council meets are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 4 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the south end of City Hall. To speak to the council directly, call the city clerk at (619) 522-7320. As personal injury attorneys, we hope that a positive change is implemented in Coronado and La Jolla before another accident occurs. It’s never been more important to be proactive, even in the face of so-called “red tape.” We don’t need another senseless accident to prompt city officials to make a change. Let’s do our part to make our voices heard. ABOUT MICHAEL PINES Michael Pines is a personal injury attorney located in San Diego, California.

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The other day I had a bizarre experience standing outside a bakery café and inhaling the heavenly aromas of fresh baked breads, flaky pastries and buttery croissants. The owner stuck his head out the door and asked whether I would like to come in and sample his wares. When I told him that I had merely stopped to enjoy the smells wafting from his store, he answered with a mischievous smile, “If you continue to sniff my aromas, I will have to charge you.” This made me realize how valuable food fragrances are to our lives. They can rouse memories that transport us back to childhood and other milestones, and even help to sell our homes. According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, a Chicago neurologist and founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation odors can affect an assortment of emotions since they are linked to the olfactory lobe, which is part of the emotional brain. The smells that evoke nostalgia are determined by your age, culture and the region where you grew up. While freshly baked bread is one of the most universal nostalgia triggers, the enticing aroma of sizzling bacon has been found to seduce even a die-hard vegetarian, inducing a response for comfort food from childhood. Others can be chocolate chip cookies, pot roast, cinnamon buns, chicken soup and apple pie. And if your mother was a lousy cook — perhaps burnt toast and stinky hard-boiled eggs. Hirsch’s studies have shown that certain aromas can tinker with hard-wiring in the brain to shift libido into full throttle. Aphrodisiac aromas for men are a blend of pumpkin pie and lavender, along with doughnuts and black licorice. With older men, odors of cheese pizza, buttered popcorn, vanilla, strawberry and cola seem to do the trick. Female sexuality is enhanced by the scents of cucumber and banana nut bread, while turnoffs are the smells of barbecue roasted meats and cherries. There’s more. Odors are the quickest way to change moods, behaviors, energy levels, and even curb phobias, ailments and weight gain. For some, the smell of green apples shuts down anxiety and claustrophobia, along with reducing the severity and duration of throbbing migraines. The clean, fresh, grassy scent of cucumber is also linked to alleviating claustrophobia. The robust smell of coffee can perk you up without you even taking a sip of joe. And while a sniff of acerbic citrus and other overpowering scents can induce some to be more awake and alert, they can cause others to be more aggressive and irritated. Best of all, studies have shown that inhaling certain food aromas, especially the sweet and oily richness of bananas, and the mighty peppermint, could help dieters lose weight. Whether Realtor folklore or fact, some professionals are convinced that certain smells sell homes, including citrus, basil, vanilla and cinnamon. Favorite scents, like flavors, go through trends over the years. Currently high on the whiff list is the clean, fresh scent of vanilla, which is filtering into everything from sodas and coffees to body sprays and room deodorizers. According to Hirsch, vanilla evokes a nostalgic response that makes one feel safe and secure, and thus self-confident.

Their tacos and mini tacos are made with the customer’s choice of corn tortilla, cactus tortilla or lettuce wrap. They always have a soup of the day, and there are healthy options such as mango salad, a protein plate and veggie tostada. Porkyland offers family combo meals, and items like rice, beans and guacamole can be purchased by the pint. Carnitas and carne asada can be bought by the pound. To be a little different in Torrey Hills and cater to the many children in the area, they have added desserts such as tres leches cakes, paletas (ice pops made with fresh fruit) and mini churros. Porkyland is also a “tiendita,” a small Mexican market, selling chips, tortillas and salsas. “The most important thing we tried to do here is breakfast,” Stepensky said. “There’s not enough breakfast options in this area.” Porkyland will open at 7 a.m., and Stepensky hopes to conquer the breakfast market with options like bean, machaca, bacon, chorizo and egg burritos, and chilaquiles plates. Stepensky said their chilaquiles are “ridiculously good.” The traditional dish features tortilla chips with rice, beans and a choice of chicken chipotle or eggs topped with red or green salsa or mole made with hot peppers and chocolate.

Active listings on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) have reached the 7,000 mark. However, the housing stock remains at about 2.6 months. (Five to six months is considered a healthy inventory level.) Homes are being scooped up at an astonishing rate, averaging about 34 days from listing to close of escrow. “There’s a lot to smile about when we look at the first half of 2015,” said SDAR’s 2015 Board President Chris Anderson. “Inventory is probably the only factor reining in the market, and with so few new homes being built, potential sellers only need to look at these statistics to see that buyers are virtually waiting at their doorstep.”
