Solana Beach Schools Foundation donates more than $100K to district

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With school almost back in session, the Solana Beach Schools Foundation recently donated funds to help cover the costs of the past school year.

On behalf of the Solana Beach School District, the school board on Aug. 13 unanimously accepted more than $100,000 in donations from the district-wide nonprofit.

“We are grateful to all our parents and the greater community for supporting us with their donations,” said Patti Malmuth, executive director of the foundation.

Founded in 1987, the Solana Beach Schools Foundation

raises funds to support school programs and students in the Solana Beach School District.

The foundation supports six of the district’s seven schools. Solana Santa Fe has its own foundation.

Since last year, the funds have helped schools offer Discovery Labs, which focus on science, technology, research, engineering, arts and math, or STREAM, and supplemental physical education. Still, the foundation has always focused on supporting instructors in art, science and technology, Malmuth said.

Caltrans, San Diego reviewing improvements to congested SR-56

BY KAREN BILLING The city of San Diego and Caltrans are working together to find solutions for commuters who struggle daily with the heavily congested SR-56. At peak hours, the 56 can resemble a parking lot, with cars at a standstill. And with all the development occurring along the corridor, traffic is only expected to increase.

“The Regional Transporta-

tion Plan (RTP) anticipates that the region will have sufficient funds to do major improvements by the year 2040 on the SR-56 Corridor,” said Edward Cartagena, Caltrans media information officer. “The City of San Diego has asked Caltrans to look into the possibility of doing smaller projects which could be done sooner and would help reSee SR-56, page 22

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Seven decades after his service overseas, Del Mar’s Robert Sulit finally received the recognition he deserves.

Congressman Darrell Issa presented the former Army private with the Bronze Star on Monday, Aug. 17, for his European service during World War II. “Once earned, it has to be delivered,” said Issa during a small ceremony at his Vista of-

fice. “Our country is slow sometimes in paying all of its debt, and so just 70 years later, we thought that we would equal this.

“I look forward to being the guy that gets to pin it on somebody who earned it before I was born.”

A retired Navy captain, Sulit was drafted by the Army on his 18th birthday in 1944. He had just graduated from high school.

“We were all scared,” Sulit

said. “We made do.”

Sulit landed on the beaches of France not long after D-Day as a member of Company A, 69th Armored Infantry Battalion, 16th Armored Division. He was the only member of his squad chosen for mine-clearing school.

“The first two days had to do with how mines work and how you dug them up,” he recalled. “The third day was the See BRONZE STAR, page 22

Teen sought after robbery, high-speed chase in Del Mar; second suspect nabbed

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Authorities were on the lookout Aug. 14 for one of two teens suspected of robbing one person, threatening another and leading sheriff’s deputies on a high-speed pursuit through Del Mar that ended in a crash.

Someone spotted the two suspects running after a man in the vicinity of Stevens and South Nardo avenues in Solana Beach and called for help shortly after 11 p.m. Aug. 13, sheriff’s Sgt. Colin Ingraham said.

The victim told deputies the suspects approached him while he was jogging, asked whether he was in a gang, then threatened to assault him with a skateboard and a broomstick to show their gang had been there, Ingraham said.

The victim took off running, and the suspects were close behind until they spotted a second target, who was riding his bicycle home from work.

The teens demanded the second victim’s cellphone, backpack and bike and threatened to kill him if he disobeyed. They also made sure he had turned over everything he had, Ingraham said.

They threw the man’s property into the bed of a nearby pickup truck, but threw the items into the road as they sped away, according to the sergeant.

A deputy spotted the suspects’ pickup at Camino Del Mar and 28th Street in Del Mar a short time later and attempted to pull it over. But the suspects continued onto Coast Boulevard at high speed, blowing through several stop signs along the way, Ingraham said.

Ingraham said the driver lost control while rounding the corner onto 13th Street and crashed the pickup into a parked car. Both suspects got out and ran toward the dead end, tumbled down a bluff leading to the beach and continued to flee.

One of the suspects, a minor, was caught near Coast Boulevard and 15th Street. He was arrested and booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of armed robbery and making criminal threats, Ingraham said.

The other got away. The suspect at large was described as a heavyset Hispanic man, 18 to 19 years old and about 5 feet 4, wearing a dark checkered button-down short-sleeve shirt.

Anyone with information on the second suspect’s identity or whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff’s department at 858-565-5200 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

SB resident graduates, makes honors list at Cal Poly SLO Solana Beach resident Barrett Floyd (aka Richard Barrett Floyd III) has been added to the President’s Honors List for the 2014-2015 academic year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

He received his bachelor’s degree in business administration (concentration in marketing), with a minor in photography, on June 14.

Pay study could lead to boost for Del Mar Fairgrounds managers

BY JOE TASH The agency that runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds has commissioned a study that local officials hope will convince the governor and other state leaders that fair executives and managers are underpaid, and their compensation should be increased.

Right now, the study is in draft form, but officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which operates the Del Mar Fairgrounds, want to meet soon with their counterparts in Sacramento to discuss its findings, said Stephen Shewmaker, a 22nd DAA board member, who sits on a board committee dealing with employee compensation issues.

Shewmaker briefed his colleagues on the study, being conducted by a company called CPS, at the Aug. 11 board of directors meeting. The district paid $49,996 for the study. Officials of the 22nd DAA declined to release the study until it is final and state officials have reviewed it.

In an interview, Shewmaker said the 22nd DAA needs to think about succession planning in the event that General Manager Tim Fennell or other top managers leave the district, although Fennell said he has no plans to step down from the job he has held since 1993.

But Shewmaker said the current salary structure for the state agency would make it difficult to replace a manager of Fennell’s caliber, or others on the 22nd DAA management team.

“We at the DAA have not kept up with the times in terms of compensating senior executives in line with the responsibilities they have,” he said. “If we had to go through the market for replacement of senior staff … we wouldn’t be able to offer a competitive package. And that’s a concern of the board.”

According to the state controller’s website, which lists compensation information for state employees, the highest-paid employee at the 22nd DAA is Assistant General Manager Becky Bartling, who earned $158,430 in wages and $40,061 in benefits in 2013, the most recent year that data is available, for total compensation of $198,491.

Next is Fennell, whose 2013 salary was $143,925, with $39,713 in benefits for total compensation of $183,638. Third was chief financial officer Rita Walz, with $108,231 in salary and $30,473 in benefits, for total compensation of $138,704.

In comparison, the Orange County fair, which in 2014 had revenue of $37.7 million, or slightly more than half of the 22nd DAA’s $68 million in revenue, paid its general manager salary and benefits totaling $143,724 in 2013, according to the controller’s website.

Cal Expo, or the Sacramento County state fair, which posted revenue of $22.5 million last year, reportedly paid its general manager wages of $152,194, plus benefits of $10,737, for total compensation of See MANAGERS, page 22

SFID customers tighten taps, cut water use by 48 percent in July Conservation in the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) is ramping up as customers cut water use by a whopping 48 percent in July 2015, eclipsing the June reduction of 37 percent. “It is clear that most of our customers are being very effective at cutting back water use and many have taken advantage of rebate programs to eliminate water-guzzling plants, improve irrigation systems and make other changes,� noted Michael Bardin, general manager of SFID. “Our customers are doing an impressive job conserving so far.�

Contributing to the water savings was an unusual rainstorm that dropped about an inch or more of rain in the area.

In July, SFID customers used 313 gallons per customer per day (g-cpd), which was a reduction of 48 percent below the 610 g-cpd for July 2013. The state-mandated target is 36 percent water demand reduction compared with 2013, a baseline year set by the State.

Meteorologists have predicted an El Nino weather pattern will continue and strengthen, which is an ocean-warming system that may increase rainfall this winter. However, state officials note that El Nino has only increased rain in three of the last seven rainy seasons when the effect was present. Thus, SFID is urging customers to continue to observe conservation restrictions and allocations. “El Nino may begin to help in alleviating our water problems this winter by watering parched properties and helping fill local reservoirs, but that may only be short-term because predicted heavy rainfall in the south would mostly drain into the ocean,� said Bardin. “Only if El Nino causes snow in Northern California, where most water is stored statewide, will we make big statewide progress in getting out of this four-year-long drought. Our customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch still need to remain vigilant in cutting water use.�

The district would like to remind customers that there are many programs and incentives available to help in water conservation. For example, the district offers a free residential survey in which a licensed landscaper will come to the customer’s property and help him or her become more efficient with their irrigation.

The district also offers rebates on rotating sprinkler nozzles, weather-based irrigation controllers, rain barrels and soil moisture sensors. There are also links to photos of model landscapes, lists of low water use plants, and more. All of this can be found on the website at www.sfidwater.org/conservation.

Customers are also encouraged to like the Santa Fe Irrigation District on Facebook, or follow #SFIDwatersavvy on Twitter. — Submitted press release

New Carmel Creek School principal excited at prospect of new school year

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Creek School’s new principal, Lisa Ryder, is embracing the Solana Beach School District’s theme this year of “honoring the past, treasuring the present and building for the future.”

As the third principal in the Carmel Valley school’s 21year history, she reflects on those who left their Cougar paw prints on the school, from the “pioneering” first principal, Dorothea Wilson, to the innovative efforts of Terri Davis, who led the school for 18 years before retiring in June.

Ryder talks with Davis nearly every day as she seeks to continue the school’s legacy, a place where kids feel safe to take risks, to create and explore, where teachers are happy and collaborative, and families are so actively involved.

“It’s a pretty fantastic community that Dorothea and Terri created, and for me to be able to come into this environment, I am deeply honored and I am committed to continuing their vision,” said Ryder, who has worked 10 years in the district and 23 total in education. “It’s sheer joy …

Carmel Creek is just an amazing place.”

Ryder, who grew up in San Diego, lives in Carlsbad with her husband and two children. Most recently, she served as the principal of the district’s Child Development Center, which is accessed by 2,700 district children for pre-school and after-school enrichment programs.

Ryder’s education roots are in speech and language pathology — she started her career at a nonprofit, non-public school housed in the same campus as the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. The school had a kindergarten and pre-kindergarten day program for medically fragile patients, such as children who were going through chemotherapy or were on the autism spectrum. It was Ryder’s job to get them back into the public school system.

“I’ve always been part of the public education system and I believe in public schools,” she said. “The Solana Beach School District has been amazing. It’s a place that has always taken a child-centered approach, and it’s a place where we can be brave with our visions and our visions can come true.”

In her 10 years with the district, Ryder has worked as a speech language specialist, an inclusion specialist and a special education teacher. She also has leadership experience,

serving as the summer principal at Skyline and Solana Vista Schools.

Working at the district level, she developed an understanding and appreciation for Solana Beach’s emphasis on strategic planning — how children always come first in every decision that’s made. She said her leadership style is still evolving, but she believes she has strong integrity, strong ethical values and is “deeply dedicated and passionate about educational excellence.”

Ryder has been impressed with Carmel Creek’s teachers, who over the summer have gone through professional development and spent lots of time in their classrooms prepping for the school year.

“It’s just one example of the lifelong learning values that the teachers have here,” she said.

The teachers are brilliant at what they do, she added, and she can’t wait for them to return on Aug. 18.

Stacks of Carmel Creek yearbooks going back to 1994 await the teachers in the staff lounge, for them to find the paw prints they value most from the school’s history. The teachers will also write down on hearts what they love most about the school and set goals written on paper bricks to represent building for the future.

At least one teacher will have special insight on the past — new kindergarten teacher Megan Laughlin is a Carmel Creek graduate.

Since taking on the role of principal in June, Ryder has really enjoyed the community connection aspect of her job.

She has met with the co-chairs of the PTA and the Solana Beach Schools Foundation, and said the investment families have in the school is “remarkable” — an entire community coming together for the good of the children.

“It’s so exciting to work with the amazing, professional and dedicated parents in this district,” Ryder said. “In this role, my job is to support the families, to create memorable opportunities for the children and to support teachers to continue their paths of achieving excellence in learning.”

Over the weekend, she attended a pre-kindergarten and kindergarten play date at the park, meeting students and families who were just as eager for school to start as she is.

Ryder said she is just “tickled” and overcome with excitement when she steers her car onto Carmel Center to

“To be the principal of Carmel Creek, words can’t express how excited I am,” Ryder said. “I’m so overjoyed with this opportunity, I truly am.”

Del Mar resident hosts ‘Paw-Raiser’ Sept. 12 for Karma Rescue

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although based in Los Angeles, animal rescue organization Karma Rescue aims to expand its programs throughout Southern California into San Diego County.

To help it accomplish its goals, local animal advocate Joan Luber Jacobs is hosting a “Paw Raiser” for Karma Rescue on Sept. 12 at her Del Mar home.

“We’re grateful Joan has opened her heart and her home to throw this lovely event for Karma Rescue to support our mission and save more animals,” said Karma Rescue founder Rande Levine.

A longtime Del Mar resident, Jacobs is an educational consultant who was a counselor at Torrey Pines High School for 18 years and a school psychologist for the San Dieguito Union High School District for 10 years. Today she has two Labrador retrievers, one of which she adopted from Guide Dogs for the Blind and uses to volunteer when she visits wounded troops at Camp Pendleton, students at UC San Diego and seniors at retirement homes.

“I know the benefits — the healing power of dogs and their unconditional love,” said Jacobs, who often brought her dogs to work when she counseled special-needs students.

A volunteer for the nonprofit Love on a Leash, Jacobs learned about Karma Rescue from a family member.

Founded in 2003, Karma Rescue is a nonprofit dedicated to saving at-risk dogs from Los Angeles’ overcrowded shelters, finding them permanent homes and providing resources for successful companionship.

Levine, who worked in advertising for more than 20 years, volunteered at an animal rescue while she went to San Diego State University. Around the same time, she adopted her beagle, Rufus. Her experience, as well as her relationship with Rufus, inspired her to create her own rescue organization in her hometown of LA. “I saw how many animals got euthanized in these shelters,” Levine said. “I thought if there was another rescue organization, we could save many more Rufuses.”

To date, Karma Rescue has given 2,350 dogs a second chance.

In 2014, the nonprofit rescued 207 dogs. This year, Karma Rescue aims to save 250 dogs.

Because Karma Rescue doesn’t have a facility yet, rescued dogs stay with volunteer foster families and at cage-free day care centers until they are adopted. On average, the organization has 45 to 50 dogs at one time.

With only two staff members, the nearly all-volunteer organization strives to create a compassionate society that provides safety, refuge and protection for all animals.

“I give such gratitude to our volunteers because they work so hard,” Levine said. “There is absolutely no possible way we could do what we do without them.”

At least once a week, Karma Rescue volunteers give educational presentations on responsible pet ownership and the pet overpopulation crisis. Volunteers regularly visit schools, universities, libraries and businesses.

To combat the overpopulation of dogs and cats, Karma Rescue also offers targeted spay and neuter services for roughly 300 animals per year.

Last year, Karma Rescue launched Paws For Life, an inmate-led dog-training program at the California State Prison in Los Angeles County.

Over 12 weeks, inmates learn how to train the organization’s rescue dogs for “Canine Good

While similar programs have been instituted across the nation, Paws For Life is California’s first and only program in a high-security prison involving inmates serving life sentences.

The program is what attracted Jacobs to Karma Rescue.

“The inmate is benefiting from this program,” said Jacobs, noting that the San Diego-based Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility is interested in the program.

“They’re learning real-world skills and connecting to a dog. It also gives them the opportunity to give back to society by helping a dog,” she said. “There’s nothing like that program in the state of California.”

To date, nearly 90 people have registered for the Paw Raiser, which will support Paws For Life and Karma Rescue’s other programs. The event is still open but registration is required.

“A lot of my friends are dog-loving friends, so I think they want to support me,” Jacobs said. “But I also think Karma Rescue and its programs resonate with people.”

The fundraiser will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. Sept. 12 and will feature wine, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction. A donation of $100 is suggested to attend. Donations can be made online at https://secure.donorpro.com/support-karma-rescue. Those who make a donation online before the event will receive three silent auction tickets.

For details about the event and to RSVP, contact Jacobs at jluberjacobs@gmail.com.

Del Mar psychologist helped keep it real for ‘Survivor,’ ‘Apprentice’ and more

BY KRISTINA HOUCK An expert on personality traits, Del Mar’s Dr. Richard Levak has served as the goto source for television casting and commentary.

The licensed clinical psychologist had his hand in reality TV when such programs became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He recalled being contacted by the producers of “Survivor” before its 2000 debut.

“It was a reality show that was just starting, and they asked me to use my personality assessment skills to help them choose a cast,” Levak said.

Levak’s work with “Survivor” led to work with “Amazing Race,” “The Apprentice, “Big Brother” and other reality programs. He still has an “Immunity Idol” from “Survivor,” a gift he was given after his work with the show.

A native of England, Levak came to the United States when he was in his mid-20s.

He obtained his doctorate degree in psychology, specializing in personality assessment, from the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego.

“I was fascinated by personality and developed an expertise in personality testing,” said Levak, who has lived in Del Mar since 1985.

For years, Levak has studied and worked with the “Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory,” the most widely used and researched standardized psychometric test of adult personality and psychopathology. The original MMPI was first published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1943 and was later replaced by an updated version, the MMPI-2, in 1989.

A l though it was created more than 70 years ago, Levak developed an adaptation of the test that allows him to offer people positive feedback, where the therapist is seen as a guide rather than an au- Dr. Richard Levak helped thority, and cast such reality TV shows the approach as “Survivor” and “The Apis collabora- prentice.” Courtesy photo tive.

“It’s a complex scientific test, and I have adapted it to be able to give people feedback in nonjudgmental, non-negative terms,” Levak said.

He has since co-written five books on personality, with his first book published in 1989 and his latest last year. The books are standard works used by psychologists and during professional workshops.

“I find that my work is very uplifting,” Levak said. “I get to see many people’s lives and how they live them. It’s like reading a very rich novel. It’s like watching a really intense movie. I learn a lot about life and people. If I can be helpful, then it’s really rewarding.”

Although he isn’t working on any reali-

ty shows, Levak can often be found on the small screen. He has served as a guest expert and provided commentary on a number of programs, including “20/20,” “Nightline,” “Anderson Cooper” and “Larry King Live.”

Just weeks ago, Levak appeared on “The Doctors,” a syndicated talk show featuring a panel of medical professionals. The specialists discussed travel addiction and how to overcome the side effects, such as withdrawal-like symptoms and depression, that some people experience after returning home from a long trip.

“You can get addicted to anything,” Levak said. “Gambling, drugs, sex — you can get addicted to anything that’s highly rewarding. With travel, there are people who need something to be looking forward to. They are always planning because they can’t really be in the moment and they can’t really be in their own lives. It’s a distraction.”

From daily distractions to jobs and relationships, Levak discusses a variety of topics on his weekly segment on Fox 5 San Diego. Launched last year, “Mind Matters” airs every Monday.

“I love the segment because I’m able to give a little advice on general topics but still have it based in science,” he said. “I like the challenge of giving good information in scientifically based sound bites.”

Though he’s busy with his private practice in Del Mar and his weekly segment on local news, Levak is using his background in reality television to create his own TV pilot in collaboration with a Toronto-based professor. “A Perfect Match” would use brain imaging scans, matchmakers and family members to match couples and compare the results.

“I understand what they’re looking for,” Levak said.

‘CNN Hero’ Kaguri to speak Sept. 13 at UCSD “CNN Hero” Jackson Kaguri will speak at the WE Impact: 12th Annual Celebration of Women’s Empowerment International from 2-4 p.m. Sept. 13 at the UCSD International House’s Great Hall. The event is free to the public. RSVP at www.womenempowerment.org, or 619-333-0026.

The International House is at Eleanor Roosevelt College at the northwest of the UCSD campus, off North Torrey Pines Road on Pangea Drive. You can find it on the UC San Diego online map (by searching “International House”). There is a parking structure across from the Great Hall. Kaguri will speak about the Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project in Uganda, which he founded and directs. WE supports the Grannies Project, which is part of this initiative.

The Grannies Project serves 7,000 impoverished grandmothers caring for 43,000 AIDS orphans. It provides small loans so the women can create income-generating businesses.

Business start-up loans average $15, which the women use to purchase a goat, chickens, seeds for farming, and other things. When they repay their loans, the money is reissued so another grandmother can get a loan. WE has set a goal of funding $32,000 in “grannies” support for 2015.

SB entrepreneur ready for new growth Sharla Rae pulls out win in Grade I, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks stakes race after business leadership program

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although his business has been a staple of Solana Beach for several years, John Stein’s company is now on the fast track to an even brighter future.

As the owner of Kirei USA, Stein was recently selected to participate in Accion Fast Track, a new business leadership program offered by global nonprofit organization Accion International. “The program gives our clients access to additional support, advice and resources so that they can meet their growth goals,� said Valery Belloso, chief business development and strategy officer for Accion’s San Diego office.

With a background in marketing, Stein shifted careers 13 years ago when he founded Kirei USA in 2002. “Kirei,� which means “beautiful� and “clean� in Japanese, offers interior design materials that are manufactured from renewable or reclaimed agricultural byproducts and low- or no-addedformaldehyde adhesives. “It’s really amazing to see what people do with our raw materials,� said Stein, whose Kirei boards were used for the counters in Solana Beach City Hall. “When I walk into spaces that someone has designed using our products and I see what they’ve done, it’s just incredible.�

What started out of a small garage on North Helix Avenue has grown into a successful business in the heart of the Cedros

Design District. But Stein said he couldn’t have done it without the help of Accion, an international nonprofit microlending organization. “It’s very difficult for small businesses to get financing,� he said. “When you can’t get a loan for your small business, Accion is there.�

Stein has been a client of Accion for about a decade. To advance his business, he started with a small loan and then worked his way up to a $35,000 loan, which was the organization’s maximum loan at the time.

Accion now offers loans up to $75,000.

Looking to grow his company, Stein was eager to participate in Accion’s new Fast Track program.

Supported by Capital One and the Blackstone Charitable Foundation, the program provides a select group of Accion loan clients with intensive business training and coaching as well as individual mentoring to set their businesses on a path to growth. “It’s been really valuable,� Stein said. “They’ve given us intellectual capital to go with the financial capital that they’ve given us.�

Only 28 business owners from across the country, including eight from the San Diego area, were selected for the program. “John’s one of the easiest clients I’ve worked with, based on his commitment to his business and organizational skills,� said Maria Montano, senior loan officer with AcSee PROGRAM, page 14

BY KELLEY CARLSON After spending much of the race chasing the pace in the Grade I, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks on Saturday, Sharla Rae took command in deep stretch and posted a 3/4-length victory over Her Emmynence (pictured). The favorite, Prize Exhibit, finished 1 1/2 lengths farther back, in third. Sharla Rae completed the 1 1/16 miles on the turf in 1:46.58, and gave her jockey, James Graham, his first stakes win at Del Mar. “This is a treat for me; my first stakes win at Del Mar and it’s a Grade I,� said Graham, who has spent many years riding in the Midwest. “I don’t do things by half measure, do I? You need to hang in and have a bit of luck. Then it happens.

I’m really enjoying it here.

I’d love to stay. If things keep going like they have been, maybe I will.�

Sharla Rae, a 3-year-old filly, is owned by the Brous Stable of Nils Brous, Adam Wachtel and Gary Barber, and trained by Doug O’Neill.

Among the other stakes winners over the past week

Sharla Rae took command for a 3/4-length victory over Her Emmynence on Aug. 15 in the Grade I, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks at the Del Mar racetrack. Photo by Kelley Carlson at Del Mar were Pretty N Cool (Grade II, $200,000 Sorrento Stakes, co-owned by part-time Del Mar resident Mike Pegram), Curlin’s Sox ($87,400 Sandy Blue Handicap), Taris (Grade III, $100,500 Rancho Bernardo Handicap) and Chati’s On Top ($150,000 Solana Beach Handicap, co-owned by Marsha Naify of Solana Beach).

On Sunday, Victor Espinoza — the jockey of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah —received the Laffit Pincay Jr. Award. The award is given annually by the Hall of Fame rider to those who have served the sport “with integrity, extraordinary dedication, determination and distinction.�

This weekend will be highlighted by the track’s signature event, the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic.

Among the horses expected to run is two-time Eclipse Award winner Beholder.

‘It is the inside that needs fixing,’ says author of our weight-loss problems

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ As long as she can remember, Linda Misleh Wagner’s life has revolved around food.

Her parents and uncles owned neighborhood grocery stores where the children in the family could claim countless treats. Family gatherings were centered on the wonderful ethnic dishes they had brought with them from their homeland and the new specialties they developed as Americans.

And, of course, there were the treats. Skin a knee or get a good grade, the treats were the same: food. The message was clear. Food made everything better. So, as do so many of us, Wagner became addicted to food. Whenever life’s vicissitudes hit — and they hit her often — she turned to food for comfort, eventually topping out at 415 pounds on her 5’6” frame.

Bariatric surgery cured the Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol that plagued her, and Wagner lost 250 pounds. With her doctor assuring her that she had 20 pounds of loose skin, in reality she was down to 145. But while the physical was addressed with the surgery, what had driven her to obesity was not, and five years after surgery, food once again became her drug of choice, with Wagner going back up to 315.

She had joined the 95 percent of people who don’t keep the weight off.

Wagner’s personal story is moving and compelling. And because it touches on our power to persevere, it is universal. In writing “As Is: Confessions of a Fatty,” she sought the reasons for her dependence on food. But while the particular story is hers, the experience is one shared with the more than 60 percent of Americans who are overweight — more than half of whom are obese. And in the writing, she began her journey to becoming a Future Former Fatty, inviting others to join her quest for health.

With her signature humor, honesty, and intelligent insight, Wagner answered some questions for us.

More than 60 percent of Americans are overweight.

What do you believe are the most compelling reasons for this?

Food tastes good. Food is so yummy that it is almost an erotic experience for most of us. Many of us would rather eat

Author Linda Misleh Wagner than have sex. When we eat, we are not thinking about how we look naked in front of someone else. We just eat and enjoy.

1. A party is not a party without good food. Food is very social, and brings people together. Be it a celebration or a funeral, our society centers around food. It is the socialization of food that proclaims to others, “I care about you. I love you. I want to comfort you.” Most people, no matter their size, love to eat and look forward to

their next meal. Stand still in a group of people and listen.

Usually the topic is about something fantastic they ate at a restaurant, followed by how much weight they need to lose.

2. Right or wrong, food fulfills emotional needs.

Hence comfort foods, pig-out parties, last hurrah. We all tend to feel better after we indulge in foods we know will lift our spirits. Heck, I have had many a food high.

Statistics show that only around 5 percent of people who lose weight keep it off. Why do you think the success rate is so low?

Because the addiction of food is like no other type of addiction. We need food to survive. And if we are a food addict and an emotional basket case from time to time, the first thing any of us will do is reach for the cookie that we remember Mommy offered to us when we were children and had a scraped knee or a bad day. Eating is needed to live, and is habitual. It’s too hard to change ingrained habits.

A lot of attention is given to anorexia and bulimia as illnesses, but very

few people speak of obesity with such considered concern.

Why do you think society is more understanding of anorexia and bulimia than it is of obesity?

Unfortunately, people see obesity as a lack of will power and self-discipline. Most people who have never had a weight problem cannot comprehend that obesity is just as much as a disease as anorexia and bulimia. The problem is in our heads, whether we suffer from obesity, anorexia, or bulimia.

To what would you ascribe your problems with weight?

Oh boy! Cry me a river. Really, I am an emotional eater. I stuff my feelings of anger, inadequacy, hurt. Name it, and I stuff it down. I like my world pretty, meaning kind, nice, respectful. When I feel like things are out of sorts in my life, my drug of choice is sugar.

You finally succumbed to bariatric surgery. What are the plusses of having had it?

I am so grateful I had bariatric surgery. Even though I am once again fat, I was 135 pounds heavier than I am now before the surgery. But post-surgery and initial weight loss, no See WEIGHT, page 21

Torrey Pines High senior attends national business program at UC Berkeley Torrey Pines High School senior Margaret “Carly” Auerbach was among the outstanding high school students from across the nation who gathered at the National Youth Leadership Forum for “Business Innovation — 8 Days to Startup,” an Envision program.

Held recently on the campus of UC Berkeley, the program provided high school students with the opportunity to gain insight into various aspects of the business world through interactive simulations, hands-on workshops, informative seminars and site visits.

Margaret “Carly” “In addition to recognizing students as future business Auerbach leaders, this eight-day program provided them with an exciting campus experience,” said Andrew Potter, the chief academic officer for Envision and NYLF Business Innovation. “They were challenged by real-world business issues and, along the way, will be able to better define themselves as they prepare for college and careers.”

“I was nominated to apply for the program, and I was thrilled to be accepted,” said Carly. “I was awarded a scholarship as part of my acceptance. The exposure to business formation and the entrepreneurial process was amazing. We were divided into smaller groups, and I was elected CEO. Meeting and working with kids from all over the world was great. Bringing our product to market was an exciting challenge.”

The program focused on business creation, globalization, personal leadership, and career opportunities in business across industries. Students gained a foundation in the field of business, enabling them to make informed choices about their future careers.

Carly is senior at Torrey Pines High School, where she has been an honor student enrolled in a curriculum of Advanced Placement courses. She plays beach volleyball and has a hobby of rock and roll photography, having published concert photos of John Mayer, Imagine Dragons and others. One of her concert photos of Taylor Swift was retweeted by the singer after her San Diego concert.

Operation Game On provides golf as a form of rehabilitation for returning combat-injured troops who have physical and mental disabilities. Operation Game On gives them a special custom intro-to-golf package providing: • Golf lessons by certified PGA Golf Instructors; • Professional fitting session with PGA qualified staff at TaylorMade’s “The Kingdom”; • Golf equipment including a brand-new full set of Taylor Made clubs and golf bag; • Golf apparel including Adidas golf shoes and headwear; • Access to San Diego county courses at special discounted rates.

Golf allows these veterans to be more active, compete, laugh, create new friendships, relax, focus, and challenge their muscles outside of their regular physical therapy. It also gives them hope of a clearer future after their tragic injuries and experiences of war.

Added Belloso, “John is very proactive, very committed to his business and very organized when it comes to his financials and his record keeping. That’s a really strong skill set that any successful entrepreneur needs to have.”

The free program kicked off in June with a two-day introduction and networking session in Chicago. Since then, business owners have developed personal and professional growth plans.

The coaching curriculum includes several classes on personal foundation, financials, marketing fundamentals and organizational strategy. Participants are also paired with mentors who will provide them with subject matter expertise in areas where they are facing the greatest barriers to growth.

The program will culminate with a graduation ceremony in February 2016 in New York City, where participants will share what they have learned and how their businesses have grown.

“I want to be a better leader,” Stein said. “I want to set a goal, articulate it to the group and set them free so they can help guide us to where we want to be.”

Champion cyclist keeping feet on ground with TPHS cross country team • Benefits of cross training, camaraderie among goals for East Coast athlete Mark Yaroshevsky, 16

BY GIDEON RUBIN Competitive cyclist Mark Yaroshevsky rode solo to an international championship and a state title at his former home in New Jersey.

But for the next few months he’ll be taking the team approach, hitting hilly trails with his feet and mountains of pasta with his fork.

The 16-year-old East Coast transfer, who just blew into San Diego County earlier this month, will compete on Torrey Pines’ cross country team.

Yaroshevsky is no slouch on the running trails. He was the No. 2 runner at West Essex Regional High (North Caldwell, N.J.) last season. But his future is on the bike. His most notable accomplishments include winning the prestigious Borchtlombeek race in Belgium earlier this summer and the New Jersey state criterium championship in 2013.

He believes running is an integral part of his training regimen, noting that the sport helps build strong bones and strengthens muscles that don’t figure prominently in cycling.

But that’s not the only reason he’s doing it.

“From running you get a great team aspect, you train with your team,” he said.

“You have pasta dinners beforehand and you race together. It’s just a huge team sport, and that’s what you don’t get from cycling.”

Yaroshevsky also gets the benefits of cross-training. His cycling coach, David

Wenger, encouraged Yaroshevsky to pick up running for that reason.

“Running cross country is only a benefit to my cycling training because riding my bike all year round as a kid really isn’t too good for you,” he said. “Having a cross training like running is really good for your muscles and your development.”

He said cyclists who ride all year don’t develop enough muscle and bone strength.

“Cycling is a such a low-impact sport,” he said. “If you just ride your bike all year round, your muscles really aren’t as strong and running kind of gets you a little stronger that way. That’s why when cyclists crash, more often than not they break bones.

“Looking at the benefits it could have on my cycling, I realized, ‘why not do it?’

It’s such a great thing for me.”

It could also be a great thing for Torrey Pines.

Falcons coach Brent Thorne said it’s not certain what role the Garden State sensation will play on his cross country team, but he’s intrigued by Yaroshevsky’s potential.

“With a guy who’s a junior who’s highly athletic, even if it’s not running , it’s like, ‘how will he adjust to being out here and where will he fit in on the team?’ We’re all kind of interested to see how that will work out.

“He’s very fit and very much an athlete, that’s for darn sure.”

And he’s made friends quickly.

“He seems to be very comfortable,” Thorne said. “Being uprooted and moving

Champion cyclist Mark Yaroshevsky, 16, is training by running cross country on Torrey Pines High’s team. Photo by Gregg Germer right before your junior year can be difficult at times.”

Thorne said he’s had swimmers compete on the cross country team, but doesn’t recall any competitive cyclists doing so. Former Falcons cross country standout Zach Paris went on to be a competitive triathlete. Paris competed for the Olympic Junior Development team.

Decades ago, it wasn’t uncommon for athletes in other sports to run cross country. The numbers of athletes from other sports competing in cross country started dwindling in the mid-1990s, with the proliferation of club and travel teams. These days, it’s a rarity.

“We always talk about how our old teams had baseball players, more soccer players and more basketball players,” Thorne said. “As far as the team; the club sport situation and the specialization at an early age have just changed things so much.”

Yaroshevsky hopes to compete professionally and has Olympic aspirations too, but said it’s too early to project how far his cycling career will go. Cyclists typically peak in their midto late 20s, he said, meaning he probably wouldn’t even be considered for an Olympic berth until 2024 at the earliest.

He considers his first-place finish at the Borchtlombeek race earlier this month to be the highlight of his career.

“That was pretty spectacular,” he said. “In Belgium, racing is really, really tough. That’s why all the Americans go there. Best junior racing in the world.”

SAMATA MASSAGE AND REFLEXOLOGY SPA IS NOW OPEN IN DEL MAR

“I don’t have time for thatâ€? is a phrase we have become accustomed to hearing on a regular basis. With the constant hustle and bustle of express lines, drive-thru everything, and instant gratiďŹ cation at your ďŹ ngertips, it’s not surprising massage has fallen under the ‘leisure & luxury’ category in the eyes of most.

Contrary to popular belief, the list of beneďŹ ts that massage therapy can have on the human body are inďŹ nite; while most people think of massage as a luxury, many are unaware that it can also be a powerful facilitator of their own healing process.

A compassionate, well-trained therapist has both a keen understanding of the human body and the genuine desire to help. They can assist in alleviating chronic pain, breaking up scar tissue, and increasing range of motion, among other things.

Of late, many therapists seem to have fallen into this profession, not knowing what to expect, but coming out on the other end with parallel goals of helping, healing, and constantly feeding the hunger to learn.

Meet Matt, owner of Samata Spa. As he’s quick to say, “Massage saved my life.�

Years at a sedentary desk job and a series of unfortunate injuries in his early twenties left him more or less paralyzed by pain for over ten years. After a decade of surgeries and pills, one day the pain was so bad that he could not ďŹ nd a comfortable position.

In desperation, he got a massage.

Much to his surprise, it was the ďŹ rst thing that provided any sort of palpable relief.

A week later, he was in school. Another eight months and he had his body back.

He grew an inch and a half after one massage; for the ďŹ rst time in over ten years, he was able to stand up straight.

He loves what he does. Every day he gets to help his clients reclaim their bodies and quality of life.

With the opening of Samata, Matt hopes to bring light to the fact that living in pain is no longer necessary, his primary goal being to introduce people to a variety of healing modalities they might not otherwise experience. Take, for instance, reexology. While many have heard of it, few have more than a vague idea of what it actually entails. To make matters worse, there are no licensing requirements for reexologists in California, meaning there’s no way to know how much (if any) training and experience any given practitioner may have.

This is where Samata stands out from the crowd. All of their staff have extensive training in not only reexology, but also have their own specialties, ranging from deep tissue to Reiki, ensuring that each session with be tailored to ďŹ t any given clients’ individual needs. Their calming environment puts tensions at ease, allowing the mind to rest. Clients often drift off into what is known as ‘slow-wave’ sleep, the stage in which the body’s parasympathetic nervous system begins acting as an alert system of sorts to your therapist, involuntarily telling them where it hurts and what they should focus on.

These folks love what they do. One conversation with them and you will ďŹ nd yourself chatting away like old friends. So if you ďŹ nd yourself in the Del Mar area, stop in to say hi, and let the harmonization of your well-being begin.

Five smart back-toLeucadia Boulevard’s roundabout a good school tips for parents illustration of how to keep traffic moving

I completely agree with Mr. Levak, imploring for the installation of roundabouts on Camino Del Mar in the Colony and of the long-term benefits demonstrated by Bird Rock area, Leucadia Boulevard and others (Aug. 20).

The Leucadia Boulevard example is very illustrative, as there is a four-way stop at Hygeia situated in between two roundabouts (at Hermes and Hymettus). There is always a line of traffic at the Hygeia stop signs, but never at the roundabouts. What more do you need?

Anyone who has ever driven internationally where roundabouts are the norm quickly understands the clear benefits of keeping traffic moving, even when there are complex multiple embedded roundabouts of multiple lanes of traffic!

How residents in the Colony area tolerate the ever-present daytime and rush hour backup of cars throughout this section is unbelievable. Even more astounding is that the city of Del Mar appears to take no action, year after year, instead seemingly more focused upon new sidewalks and new curbing in that area.

Camino Del Mar in this area is a low-speed area, and I suggest roundabouts be installed at the two four-way stops on Camino Del Mar in the Colony: Coast/Court and at 27th street.

These two simple roundabouts will significantly reduce the congestion and environmental impact created by the stop signs. The overall benefits of roundabouts are clear and well-documented to anyone who is ready to listen and act.

These are basic, single-lane roundabouts! Baby steps, OK! Maybe someone from the city of Del Mar can respond as to why roundabouts are not in place at the aforementioned locations?

Hugh Cree Del Mar

Four-way stop signs create too much pollution I, too, as Richard Levak (Aug. 20), read Logan Jenkins’ article in the San Diego Union (Aug. 7 ) on the success of the roundabouts in the Bird Rock area of La Jolla.

A few years ago, as a member of the Del Mar Garden Club, I was working on the garden area in the front of the library. There is a four-way stop at that corner. I felt as if my lungs suffered from the pollution of cars, trucks, and motorcycles as they stopped and gunned their engines at that stop sign.

You could just feel the pollution in the air you were breathing. The soot was evident on the existing plants.

I suggest that 13th Street and Camino del Mar would be an excellent area for a roundabout.

District’s new water allocation policy is unfair, unjust and penalizes water savers The new water allocation policy of the Santa Fe Irrigation District is unfair, unjust, and will not produce significant water savings.

Setting aside the 15HCF baseline allocation per household, the policy sets new limits as percentage of usage in 2013. This severely and unfairly penalizes precisely the people it should be encouraging (the water savers), it weakens the conservation incentives precisely for the people whose incentives it should be strengthening (the profligate water users), and it is deeply regressive in the sense that more profligate users pay disproportionately less in fines than water savers. Finally, it does not promote consistent water conservation while excessively penalizing occasional over-use.

Basing the allocations on 2013 usage rewards water-profligate households that had chosen not to implement any water-savings measures two years ago and penalizes water-wise households that were already using less water. It also places an unfair burden on households that have already implemented water conservation measures before or during that year.

Those who had done nothing two years ago can now easily reduce water usage by implementing a variety of inexpensive improvements, whereas those who had already done so have nowhere to go but converting their yards to dirt. The reductions are disproportionately harder for water-wise households to implement and therefore unjust.

Third, the penalty system is also based on percent use over the new quota, which makes it cheaper for profligate users to violate the policy, because they pay less for the same amount of water over-use than do water-wise households with smaller quotas, a striking instance of deeply regressive taxation.

Finally, the program implements penalties but offers no rewards: A household could be using much less water than its allowance for 11 months and go over it (perhaps because they had guests) in one month, and it will be penalized for that one month with no account being taken of its overall water-wise policy. If over-use is to be penalized, consistent conser See POLICY, page 19

TO YOUR HEALTH: BY MARK SHALAUTA, MD For many San Diego County students, summer break is coming to an end.

If you’re a parent with school-age kids, now is a great time to make sure they are ready to go back to the classroom. The following tips can help your family prepare for a safe, healthy start to the school year.

1. Schedule a checkup.

Before school is back in session, schedule a physical exam for your child, especially if he or she plays sports. Discuss any concerns you have about your child’s health, such as nutrition or weight problems. It’s a good idea to let your child have time alone with the doctor to talk about personal matters and ask questions that they may not feel comfortable bringing up with a parent in the room.

Also, make sure your child’s school has updated medical records that include any current conditions such as diabetes, asthma or allergies, as well as special dietary needs and medications. The school also should have contact information for your child’s pediatrician or family physician.

2. Make sure immunizations are up to date.

In California, children are required to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, child care centers and other educational programs. You may be required to show an immunization record before your child is admitted.

Talk to your child’s physician about any coming changes in vaccination or immunization requirements.

A new law that is sched-

Mark Shalauta, MD uled to go into effect in 2016 eliminates personal and religious belief exemptions for vaccines. The law allows an exemption for children who have a medical reason to remain unvaccinated (such as an immune system disorder) and requires parents to provide a doctor’s note recommending against vaccination.

Vaccination requirements vary by age. Immunizations required to attend kindergarten include: • Polio • DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis or whooping cough) • MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) • Hepatitis B • Varicella (chicken pox) The varicella vaccine is recommended at ages 1 and 5.

All students entering seventh grade will also need proof of an adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster immunization (Tdap) in order to begin school.

Although not a requirement for middle or high school, the meningitis vaccine is recommended at ages 11 and 16. This will help protect your child after high school as well, when they are also at high risk.

See TIPS, page 22

Superintendent Schmitt’s Monthly Update, August 2015: Welcome back to school

BY RICK SCHMITT Superintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through the local media with a monthly update.

Topics may include academics, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics.

Today’s update focuses on welcoming all to the new academic year, key 2015-16 priorities, growth and facilities, school attendance and a social host reminder fromRick Schmitt our San Dieguito Alliance partners: On behalf of our Board of Trustees and our entire staff, I want to welcome and welcome back everyone to the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD). For parents and guardians whose students are entering our schools for the first time, a special welcome and a heartfelt thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We have spent the summer eagerly preparing for your students on Aug. 25.

The start of the new school year creates opportunities for each of us to renew our commitment to education, to our parents who work alongside us, and to our students who arrive in our classrooms ready to learn. The beginning of a new school year reminds us that the future holds infinite possibilities. We tell young children they can be whatever they want to be. Many middle and high schools limit choice and options for families — not those in the San Dieguito Union High School District. Students here are able to select courses, programs, school start times, academic levels, pathways and schools. We should be very proud of that.

Since 1937, the SDUHSD has been the educational home to students across our community, as well as a critical part of what makes our neighborhoods such a great place to live. As superintendent, I am thrilled to live in our community and be part of a school district whose traditions are honored and where keeping current with the best teaching and learning practice is valued. Our priorities include clearly and effectively communicating and delivering our vision for success …

• By offering a rigorous and cohesive curriculum, instructional, and assessment program aligned to the state standards; • By allocating necessary resources to support our efforts; • With world-class programs, staff and facilities aligned

to support 21st-century teaching and learning in a safe environment.

As we finalize preparations for this school year, growth is again part of the SDUHSD story.

More than 1,000 housing units are currently under development, most in the Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhood. We will greet more than 12,500 students this year, and we are continuing to hire staff as needed. Our more than 1,200 full- and part-time employees at our 10 campuses are eager for students to return. Over the past year, Prop AA has funded improvement and growth projects including new and renovated classrooms, renovated media centers, new safety measures, expanded bandwidth, wireless access, PE, arts and athletic facilities, and heating, air conditioning and ventilation. Our newest and fifth middle school, Pacific Trails, will open on time and under budget on Aug. 25 with its first class of seventh-graders.

School Attendance As the 2015-16 school year fast approaches, I would like to remind you that every day counts in a child’s education.

Students who attend school regularly will benefit from carefully planned instruction, will learn more, and will be more successful than students who do not. Parents who make regular school attendance a priority are also helping their children learn to accept responsibility, which is essential for their current and future success.

New for our schools this year, we receive funding only for students who are actually in class, and no longer receive money for excused absences including illnesses. This is different from how our local elementary districts are funded.

Please continue to support your student and work to minimize absences as much as possible.

San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth SDUHSD has partnered with the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth for many years.

San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth was organized 30 years ago by parents, educators, and community members to prevent and reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs by youth in our community. San Dieguito Alliance collaborates with elementary, middle and high schools, parent and youth organizations, cities, law enforcement agencies, business, civic and chamber groups who are dedicated to creating a healthy, safe and drug-free community.

Their focus is on education, awareness and training. Here is a reminder from them: You Matter!

Parents are the most powerful influence on their teens

when it comes to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and other drug use. Not friends, not school. You. It’s up to you to be proactive and use that influence on your child. It’s a conversation that needs to happen so your teenager knows where you stand on this critical issue. Get off to a good start, talk early and often … and then talk some more. Silence isn’t golden, it’s permission.

Don’t Be a Party to Teenage Drinking! Avoid Social Hosting.

A Social Host is anyone who knowingly hosts underage drinking parties on their property. All cities in San Diego County have enacted laws to protect youth from the problems associated with drinking alcohol. Avoid a Social Host arrest. Please remember that allowing underage drinking in your home is against the law. When parents allow underage drinking in their homes, it becomes a rite of passage.

Let’s all work together to make 2015-2016 a safe, healthy and happy school year.

A key goal of mine is to provide options that positively impact the greatest number of families.

As I wrote last year, “Our continuous improvement efforts are critical to our students, ensuring that the high quality of our schools is maintained. Improving student achievement goes beyond academics, co- and extra-curricular activities, and student performance.” Much of our success is attributed to the support of our parent community. We want you to be involved and engaged in your child’s learning, balancing involvement with looking for opportunities for our young adults to work their way toward independence.

We will maintain our track record of inclusion and collaboration with our parents and extended community. Back-toSchool nights are a great chance for you to be involved and hear from your children’s principal and teachers. Please take note of the following links or find them posted on our website at www.sduhsd.net: Back-To-School Nights Schedule 2015-16 Instructional Calendar As I begin my 36th year as a public school educator, I am looking forward to this school year and hoping that all students and their families have their best year yet. The SDUHSD community continues to be an extraordinary place made up of exceptional people, and it continues to be a privilege to live and work here.

vation should be rewarded.

The water allocations should be based on size of the property (assuming water-wise landscaping), with adjustments for number of occupants, rather than on water usage in some arbitrary reference year. The penalties should be based on absolute amount of water used over the quota, not on percentage over that quota.

The District should also implement net metering — comparing the total annual use to the total annual quota when assessing penalties — to reward consistent savings without penalizing occasional over-use. These changes are easy to implement and will produce a fair and just water allocation policy that will provide appropriate incentives to both water-wise households and those who need extra encouragement to conserve water.

DMCV Sharks BU15 Burson Elite wins championship The DMCV Sharks Boys BU15 Burson Elite team won the San Diego Premier Classic Soccer tournament this past weekend.

Under new Head Coach John Burson, the boys had a strong showing in their second tournament of the season, taking the championship. Special thanks to boys from other teams who helped fill roster spots because of summer vacation plans of some of the team’s players: Cameron, Weiwei, and Keaton from the BU15 age group, and Brandon, who played goalie from the BU14 age group.

The boys played back-to-back games against TFA Soccer, winning the first game 3-2 and the championship game in the second minute of overtime, with a golden goal to win a second time 3-2 as well. The boys never lost, tying once and winning their three other games.

Go Sharks!

WEIGHT

NORTH COAST - AUGUST 20, 2015 - PAGE A21

continued from page 9

more diabetes, blood pressure is so much better, and I had so much energy. I felt good about myself. I could shop anywhere I wanted and wear shoes with a heel without worrying about falling on my duff. And most importantly, my surgeon and doctor told me I was truly healthy.

What are the drawbacks?

You can’t eat. And when you can begin to add foods back into your diet, it is very easy to go down the slippery slope of reverting to old habits.

I also have trouble absorbing nutrients. I tend to be very anemic, and I get dehydrated very easily.

You regained about half the weight you lost. Why? The surgery is only a tool. People think that having bariatric surgery is “taking the easy way out.” It is not. Rearranging your organs to lose weight takes a lot of guts — and the rearranging of those guts.

I regained half my weight back because I reverted to the familiar habits I had prior to surgery when I was hit with the first devastating life shocker. Unfortunately, most bariatric patients will regain about 50 percent of their weight back.

The multibillion-dollar diet and exercise industry in this country is a failure. Why? Because the problem is not about dieting and exercise. These things are solutions. We have to address the real problem. And that problem that needs to be fixed is a problem that no diet plan or exercise routine or surgery will resolve. The solution is to fix what’s between the ears.

Whatever the issues in our lives, we have to change the relationship we have with food and truly fight the demons that call our name. Funny, but it is kind of like your first boyfriend. You decide to save yourself for marriage, but he is just so doggone cute. It’s hard to say no. The same goes for food. If you have a bad relationship with food, it’s hard to resist. If you have a good relationship with food, you are healthy. Simple as that.

The diet and exercise industry promises to fix the outside when it is the inside that needs fixing.

What does it really take to reclaim a healthy lifestyle? And how would you define that lifestyle?

Commitment, kindness to self, and a desire to live far better than we are living now. Making a commitment to one’s self is so difficult. It is easy to let ourselves down and deal with the consequences. Denial is powerful.

We have to stop being so hard on ourselves. We are not failures if we struggle to get a grip on our weight. We have a true medical problem. We need to start treating obesity as a disease.

If we had a serious medical issue such as diabetes or heart problems, we wouldn’t hesitate to take the medicine needed to keep us healthier.

The same goes for obesity. We need to realize that a weight problem needs medical attention as much as any other disease. Let’s face it. Obesity leads to diabetes, heart problems, and so many other diseases. Therefore, it is a disease with consequences like any other disease.

You are once again on a weight-loss track. What will make this time successful for you?

I am going to be real honest with you. I don’t know if this time I will be successful. I can only say that I really am trying to eat better, make better choices, move more, and take better

D EL MA R

care of myself. If the result is I lose weight and get healthy, then my day-to-day choices will make this time successful.

I don’t care about how fast I lose weight. I care more that I am aware of what I am doing to myself when I don’t eat right. Once we are aware, we are more likely to think twice before succumbing to anything that will do us harm. And make no mistake, eating poorly is something we all need to be very aware of and change. Successful weight loss is a by-product of making a commitment and following through with taking care of ourselves.

What are your three top bits of advice for beating the cheat?

1. Talk yourself out of it! Remind yourself how well you are doing and why you are working to lose weight. When we start to feel better about ourselves, we tend to forget the reasons why we know we need to lose weight.

2. Get yourself away from whatever food is calling your name. Then stop. Breathe in and out a few times. And then ask yourself, why do I feel like cheating? Is it worth it, or will it only serve to make me feel guilty and bad about myself? If you are in the house, go take a walk. No money or debit/credit cards. It is too easy to give in to fast foods.

3. Call a friend. If you have a good support team than can talk you out of it, then great. If you don’t have someone to talk you out of cheating, then beat the cheat by calling a friend and talking or go meet for a cup of tea or coffee. The cravings will go away after about 20 minutes.

“As Is” is not a diet book, it is a memoir. Who do you see as your primary audience?

Anyone who has ever had a weight problem, be it obesity, anorexia, bulimia. Food addiction is addiction, no matter what end of the spectrum you are at.

I know people who have never had food issues, but have family, friends, children who may have weight problems and they want to understand them better and find ways to help them. My book is relatable. There isn’t anyone who will not relate to everything I share, and trust me, I tell all my nitty- gritty truths.

No matter what a person’s problems, if it has anything to do with food, people will see themselves in my story, they will relate, and they will find they are not alone. We all are confronted with many different and painful life situations. As you read “As Is,” you will learn I have had more than my share.

With that said, somewhere deep down inside, when we must deal with difficult times, we find an inner strength to survive and overcome no matter what. There is something amazing and resilient in knowing this.

What do you hope readers take away from reading your book?

I hope readers will see themselves in my story, and that they will know they are not alone.

They are not failures. That others share the same struggles as they do.

I hope readers recognize that as long as we keep fighting to be healthy, we will eventually succeed and do better than we were doing before. I may have gained some of my weight back after bariatric surgery, but I gained less than half of what I lost, and I have not gained weight since I began this new journey. Instead, I have begun to lose weight again.

If I can do it, my readers will be inspired and know they can too. We unite and work to go from future former fatties to former fatties. We can and will do this together.

FOUNDATION

continued from page 1

“We were already doing a whole bunch of the pieces anyway, so it kind of dovetailed nicely in supporting STREAM,” she said.

The foundation, which raises close to $1 million each year, presents the district with quarterly donations. The foundation’s latest donation of $101,700.71 helped buy tinkering carts for all the district’s schools, including Solana Santa Fe. The carts support the district’s STREAM initiative.

The foundation again raised nearly $1 million this year, topping last year’s funds by about $80,000. Looking ahead to the new school year, Malmuth said the foundation hopes to raise even more to support the district, including the new full-time STREAM teacher.

“The foundation is helping to pay for that full-time credentialed teacher,” Malmuth explained. “That teacher will also help coordinate project-based learning units for the Next Generation Science Standards, which are the new science standards our schools implemented this year. We’re really excited about it.”

Most funds are raised through the foundation’s annual Fund Drive. Funds are also raised at a variety of activities and special events throughout the year, including schoolbased fun runs, a Halloween Carnival and the annual Solana Beach Bash.

As in previous years, the foundation is kicking off its fundraising with the annual Fund Drive. Through brochures and presentations, parents will learn about the foundation on Back-to-School Night at the different campuses.

“That’s definitely our biggest fundraiser,” Malmuth said. “We raise about two-thirds of our funds through our annual Fund Drive. It’s super-important that parents give.”

duce some of the congestion on SR-56. They could pay for it using city funds.”

In March, Council President Sherri Lightner led a City Council vote to initiate a feasibility study process, including various technical studies and reports, to expand the busy thoroughfare from four to six lanes. In her endorsement of the study, she stated that the 2040 target date for the highway expansion is too far off and improvements need to happen sooner rather than later.

According to Jennifer Kearns, director of communications for Lightner’s office, Caltrans is almost done with the study’s first draft. The city’s transportation division staff met with Caltrans on July 16, and a Caltrans engineer estimated that a draft report would be sent to the city for review in September.

According to Kearns, the feasibility study is being funded through the Black Mountain Road SR-56 Development Fund and Torrey Highland Facilities Benefit Assessments Fund (FBA). The Black Mountain Ranch, Torrey Highlands, Pacific Highlands Ranch, and Del Mar Mesa FBAs will also be contributing toward any initial SR-56 improvements that may come as a result of the study. The total FBA funding towards SR-56 improvements will amount to $33 million.

Cartagena said it is anticipated that all of the SR-56 improvements can be done within the existing right of way.

“There might be a need for temporary construction easements to build sound walls at certain locations and some minor work for utility relocation and electrical modifications, but we do not anticipate the need to purchase additional land, much less acquire homes or businesses for the freeway improvements,” he said.

The widening of SR-56 could occur before the construction of the SR-56 and Interstate 5 connector project, he said.

Options to make the missing connections between I-5 South and SR-56 East and SR-56 West and I-5 North include a direct connector flyover, auxiliary lane or hybrid alternatives.

Caltrans is finalizing the environmental document and plans to announce the project’s preferred alternative this fall.

BRONZE STAR

‘Chaplain’s Day,’ and he gave us Holy Communion so we were cleansed of our hearts.”

Over the next two days, Sulit remembered searching for mines along the Atlantic Wall, Nazi Germany’s defensive system that stretched from the Spanish border to Scandinavia. He dug the mines up, placed them in a pile and detonated them.

Soon after, he had his first combat experience when he and his company traveled to Frankfurt and met with Russian forces. As a third machine gunner, Sulit manned a .30-caliber machine gun mounted on the back of a half-track.

“We were going through town and people were shooting at us — that’s kind of dangerous,” he said. “I crunched back down so I could angle up and shoot my machine gun. I think I got somebody.”

Although the war ended 70 years ago, it was just a few months ago that Sulit, now 89, learned he might be eligible for the Bronze Star, the fourth highest decoration for individual valor in the U.S. military.

He asked his wife, Shelly Sulit, to investigate the issue. She found that the late Gen. Omar Bradley had declared years ago that all infantry and medics who saw combat in Europe in World War II should be awarded the medal.

Shelly Sulit contacted the Army but did not receive a response. She then reached out to Issa’s office, and a few weeks later, the medal was secured.

“It was something I didn’t expect, so it was very welcome indeed,” Sulit said.

After the war, Sulit served in the Army Reserves from 1946 until 1950. In 1957, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Navy Reserves. He worked for the Department of Defense and the Navy Reserves as a nuclear physicist until he retired as a captain in 1985.

“He’s a very proud man; he’s a very quiet man,” said Shelly Sulit. “He’s very excited. I haven’t seen him this excited about something. He is very proud of his service to his country.”

MANAGERS

continued from page 2

$162,931, according to the state web site.

Fennell said a more apt comparison would be the Los Angeles County fair, which reported revenue of $71.8 million in 2014, slightly more than Del Mar’s. However, because the L.A. fair is run by a nonprofit and is not governed by state rules, its CEO was paid $894,533 in total compensation, according to the organization’s most recent IRS filing.

The San Diego Convention and Tourist Bureau, which had revenue of $22.2 million in 2013, paid its CEO a total of $380,244 that year, according to IRS filings.

“It’s not competitive. That’s probably the best way I can put it,” said Fennell of the state’s pay structure for fair officials.

Among the recommendations of the CPS study, said 22nd DAA officials, is that the state revamp its system for classifying fairs based on their annual revenue. Manager salaries are based on those classifications.

According to a Power Point presentation given at the meeting, there are seven classifications for fairs in California. Del Mar and four other fairs are included in the top classification, which is for fairs generating $10 million or more annually, designations that were established in 1989.

Under the proposed new rating system, there would be 10 classifications, with Del Mar and Los Angeles in the ninth ranking, leaving an open 10th ranking for future revenue growth.

Shewmaker and Fennell said the decision on whether to change the classification system and raise employee pay rests with the governor’s office, the state human resources department and the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

“What I’m hoping is they will expand the number of classifications. And that the compensation levels will reflect that, not only for the CEO but for all the key people in the organization. It’s a team effort,” Fennell said.

Frederick Schenk, 22nd DAA board president, said the managers who run major events such as the annual San Diego County Fair are “woefully undercompensated.” He said the board has been working for several years to find a way to improve pay for executives and managers.

“That’s really what I want to see, that we continue to provide the best product,” Schenk said. “To do that, we need the best people, and in order to do that we need to compensate them well.”

Yaroshevsky competed in Borchtlombeek for a second straight year after a strong showing in 2014.

“Coming back, I knew if I was going to have good results, I was going to have to work hard and play it right,” he said.

He played it to perfection.

“It was a surprise,” he said. “It definitely surprised a lot of the locals, too, when an American won.”

Yaroshevsky said he brings the same competitive spirit to the running trails as he does to road races.

But he admits there’s less pressure.

“Getting time off the bike is really nice to reboot,” he said. “I get back on the bike in November, and it’s nice to have a fresh start compared to the never-ending grind.”

TIPS

continued from page 18

Finally, we also recommend the Gardasil vaccine series at age 11 for prevention of several types of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)-related cancers. While we understand that many parents feel 11 is too young to be concerned about the HPV virus, it’s important to understand that the vaccine is most effective if all doses are given long before any potential exposure. The vaccine will not eradicate disease in someone who has already been exposed and infected.

Talk to your child’s physician about any vaccine concerns you may have.

3. Get back on schedule.

Summer break often means staying up later and sleeping in. In order to help kids transition back to a school schedule, have them start going to bed and waking up at times more in sync with the school calendar. This can be especially helpful for teens, whose natural circadian rhythms make them more prone to being night owls than early birds.

4. Pack lightly.

Along with shoes and clothes, kids can outgrow their backpacks. A backpack that is worn out, doesn’t fit correctly or is just too heavy can strain a child’s neck or back and may cause injury. Check straps for signs of wear and tear, and adjust the fit of the backpack to accommodate body changes.

If it’s time for a new one, choose a lightweight backpack with two wide, well-padded shoulder straps, a padded back and a waist strap. The pack should fit snugly against the child’s back but not pull on the shoulders. Evenly distribute books and other contents on both sides of the pack, and aim to keep its weight below 20 percent of your child’s.

5. Don’t overdo activities.

Extra-curricular activities like sports and clubs can be great ways for kids to socialize and learn new skills, but be careful not to overdo it. Too many after-school obligations can make it difficult to fit in other activities such as homework, family time and rest. This can create stress and anxiety, and affect both academic performance and health.

Also, remember that your young athletes are students, not pros. Encourage them to focus on having fun and learning sportsmanship, not on winning or losing. Give kids the freedom to try new activities if they no longer enjoy the usual ones. Regardless of the activity, make sure they have the proper equipment and training to play safely.

Q&A with Del Mar Racetrack performer ‘Weird Al’: ‘It never gets boring’

BY ROB LEDONNE “Weird Al” Yankovic has been a force in music since bursting onto the scene in 1983. Known for parodying popular music and lambasting culture, the satirist has enjoyed a steady career that reached a high last summer when his 14th studio album, “Mandatory Fun,” became a surprise hit by winning a Grammy and landing at the top of the Billboard album charts — a first for a comedy record.

On Aug. 28, Weird Al takes his tour to the Del Mar Racetrack as part of its popular concert series (www.dmtc.com).

While on the road in Florida, Weird Al spoke to us about his long-ranging career, his recent success, and his personal connection to San Diego.

Everyone’s excited that you’re coming to the Del Mar Racetrack; it’s a highly anticipated show.

That’s great to hear!

It seems like you have a wide audience and cater to all demographicsyou’re not rap, you’re not

rock, you’re everything.

Yeah, it’s nice. What I do is comedy, but within that umbrella I get to do pretty much every genre imaginable. It’s really fun for me and the band to do a lot of different kinds of music. It never gets boring for us.

What part of the process do you enjoy more: touring and seeing the audience react, or the creative process and nittygritty of the writing and production work?

Well, I love it all. I definitely have a personality where I can spend months in the studio working on something and really finetuning things. But there’s nothing that beats the adrenaline rush of the immediate gratification of having a live audience reacting to what you’re doing. So the most fun for me is performing live.

When you’re on tour, are you writing and brainstorming future material?

Do you bring your recording equipment along?

I don’t. I certainly

Well, it gets more difficult from tour to tour. We keep a community of songs everybody wants to hear, and at the same time we need to ostensibly focus on the latest album.

Right now we’re playing songs from “Mandatory Fun,” but at the same time we’re going to be playing all of the greatest hits. We also try to play some surprises and deep cuts for the hardcore fans. It’s a tall order to cram that into a two-hour show, but we give it our best shot.

Were you surprised by the viral success of the album last year? You received so much admiration afterwards; what was that like after 30 years in the business?

It was mind-blowing. I was hoping and sort of suspecting that people would enjoy the album and hoping that it would do well, but it’s so beyond my wildest expectations. I never in a million years thought I’d have a No. 1 album. It’s literally unprecedented, since it was the first time a comedy album debuted at the top of the Billboard charts. It continues to blow my mind and it will always be something I’m amazed by.

“Weird Al” Yankovic’s “Mandatory Fun” album debuted at No. 1 at the top of the Billboard Album charts — a first for a comedy record. Photo by Robert Trachtenberg could, but when I go on the road I like to shut my brain off and focus all of my time into trying to make the show as good as it could be — without working on new material. If I need to be multi-tasking I have the capacity to do that, but I like to focus all of my energy on the live performance.

You have such an immense discography with songs spanning the decades. How do you pick and choose which songs to perform during a two-hour show?

Well, when can we expect the next album?

I’m not on any kind of schedule or timetable. I’m totally free and indie and can do what I want to do and not feel beholden to anybody. After this leg of the tour, I’ll take a look at the pop landscape and see what needs to be given the Weird Al treatment.

Do you have any personal connection to San Diego?

My parents used to live in San Diego County for 27 years, and I still have a house and relatives there who will be coming to the Del Mar show, so I definitely have some ties to the area. I spend most of my time in LA. I do demos at home, and then when we go out to record, we’ll go to a local studio.

Grand Prix event at Del Mar Aug. 29 to honor military served by R4 Alliance Blenheim Equisports hosts a Grand Prix Equestrian event starting at 4 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Del Mar Horse Park.

The event honors all U.S. military veterans who benefit from the services provided by the nonprofit 501(c)3 R4 Alliance member organizations (www.r4alliance.org), which facilitates the rehabilitation and reintegration of veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and military sexual trauma (MST) through recreational therapy.

A highlight of the event will include a ceremonial demonstration by the Frontier Army of the West, 2nd U.S. and 8th Illinois Cavalry Regiments (www.2ndcavalry.org) and Mercedes Martin-Raya singing the National Anthem. A customized jump featuring the American flag will be included in the $50,000 prize money course, as a tribute to the 155,000 veterans served by the R4 Alliance members.

The event is free to the public and takes place at 14550 El Camino Real, Del Mar. Parking is free on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit www.showpark.com for event details or call 949-234-1695.

According to Bill Potter, R4 Alliance Chairman of the Board, “We’re extremely grateful to our partners for the opportunity to highlight the work we are engaging in to benefit our U.S. military veterans and their families; we refer to them as ‘Our Military Family.’ R4 Alliance representatives will be in attendance at the event to answer questions regarding the organization’s vision mission and accomplish-

ments; we’re delighted to be the honored charity of choice.

Of particular significance is the ceremonial demonstration by the U.S. Cavalry Regiment; the Cavalry played a significant role in the history of U.S. military service and is a precursor to the equestrian sport that has evolved into a unique American athletic tradition.”

Del Mar store owner ‘Maggie’ to be remembered through new business named for her

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although La Mariposa Boutique owner Margaret Ann Young recently passed away, her legacy will live on in Del Mar. When her shop closes in the fall, another store will open in her name.

“It will be a nice honor,” said her son, Jon C. Young II. Known by everyone as “Maggie,” Young opened La Mariposa Boutique, a women’s clothing store, 35 years ago in downtown Del Mar. Originally from Indianapolis, Young raised three children, worked in the restaurant industry and was a successful real estate agent for 15 years in Indiana. In 1978 she moved to Southern California, and two years later, purchased the small gift shop.

“I was across from city hall and fell in love with this Stratford Square building and decided to sell handcrafted clothing and accessories from local people and small companies,” she explained in an old Del Mar Times article.

La Mariposa Boutique moved upstairs at Stratford

Square in 1981 and later relocated downstairs, where the shop has been ever since.

“I knew her a really long time,” said building owner KC Vafiadis. “She loved to be there every day.

She just loved to be with people.”

Vafiadis fondly recalled often visiting with Young.

One of her favorite memories was when she and her mother encouraged Young to enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride around the Del Mar Village during the community’s Winter Wonderland event.

“Maggie mentioned she’d never been on the horse carriage after all the years it had gone past her store,” she said with a laugh.

“My mom said, ‘I’ll watch the store. Get up there!’ So we went on the horse carriage together and it was wonderful.”

Young was diagnosed with lung cancer about 15 years ago. The cancer returned about eight years ago and again several months ago, her son explained.

Still, Young worked at

Del Mar store owner Maggie Young passed away July 22. Courtesy photo her store up until a month before her passing.

“She loved going to work every day,” her son said. “She loved people.”

Although the store is set to close after racing season, Young’s presence will remain in the shopping square.

Americana Restaurant chef and owner Randy Gruber plans to open a malt shop named after Young, with the name likely to be “Maggie’s Malt Shop.” The

idea for the store stems from Vafiadis’ niece, Emily McCubbin, who worked alongside Young as an intern at La Mariposa Boutique.

“When I told her children, they were shocked,” Vafiadis said. “I don’t think they understood what a fixture she was in this town.”

The shop will be Americana’s version of an ice cream parlor, Gruber said. The store will offer shakes, sundaes, smoothies and other treats, including baked goods from Americana.

“I think it will be a nice addition to Del Mar,” said Gruber, a 15-year Del Mar resident.

“Maggie has been a neighbor of mine since I started the restaurant,” added Gruber, whose restaurant has been two doors down from La Mariposa Boutique for 15 years. “I

would see her every day and we would talk to each other. She was always a really nice lady. A lot of people in the community really liked her.”

Young died July 22. She was 79 years old.

She is survived by her sister, Fran Watt, in Oregon, brother Fred and his wife, Nancy Baier, in California, children Jon Young, Honni Young and Kammi Montanero, grandchildren, a great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews and their children.

“She was the matriarch and anchor for our family,” her son said. “We always knew how other family members were doing by communication through her, and she cared deeply for each and every one of us. She will be missed more than words can express.”

“Point Break Live!” is a spoof of the 1991 cult film “Point Break,” starring Keanu Reeves. The show is at 7 p.m. on Aug. 30 at The Belly Up. Courtesy photo

Interactive play pays homage to cult favorite flick ‘Point Break’

BY JARED WHITLOCK Ever dreamed of starring in the 1991 cult favorite movie “Point Break”? Now is your chance.

“Point Break Live!” — 7 p.m. Aug. 30 at The Belly Up — parodies “Point Break,” which features Keanu Reeves as an FBI agent who infiltrates a gang of surfers who rob banks.

The live action play begins with a twist — the audience picks who among them will play Reeves’ role, Johnny Utah, alongside professional actors. The person who is chosen is handed a wetsuit and fed lines via cue cards.

“The person is led around like a deer in headlights, and that’s sort of Keanu’s thing — the deer-in-headlights look — so it works out really well,” said Thomas Blake, the play’s director and producer, with a laugh.

Blake said the show is a tribute to the movie’s unintentionally hilarious dialogue and action (a fan favorite from “Point Break” — Reeves firing a gun into the air and yelling).

The live show re-enacts “Point Break” from start to finish, so count on robbers in Richard Nixon masks, skydiving and an epic 50-year storm — re-created with squirt guns.

Blake described it as “rock ’n’ roll theater.”

“It’s theater for people who don’t necessarily like theater,” he said. Blake added: “The stigma that theater is super-controlled and only for older crowds — we shatter that whole thing.”

Blake, who grew up surfing in North Carolina, said “Point Break” was a guilty pleasure as a teen.

“From a surfer’s point of view, it’s so bad that it’s so good.”

In 2007, Blake leapt at the chance to direct West Coast productions of the show, saying he’s proud to be involved in a project both his surfer and theater friends can appreciate. And the movie’s cast apparently enjoys the play, too.

Actor Gary Busey, who portrayed Angelo Pappas, Johnny Utah’s FBI mentor in the film, joined the actors on stage during a “Point Break Live!” show a while back.

“We couldn’t get him off the stage,” Blake said. The movie’s director, Kathryn Bigelow, came to a show in 2007 and is also a fan. But what about Reeves?

“We haven’t gotten him to come yet,” Blake said. He jokingly added that if the actor shows up, he hopes he’ll be picked to portray Johnny Utah.

Blake said the goal is to keep the play fresh, so the script is constantly reworked.

And it helps, he added, that a new Johnny Utah is picked every show — everyone from an 85-year-old man to a guy who didn’t speak English has played the part.

“Point Break Live!” is a staple in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Blake said The Belly Up was chosen to host the play, given the concentration of surfers in the area. If it’s a success, the play could be regularly held there, he said.

“We’re testing the waters,” he said.

He added that the play appeals to a wide audience, but surfers will find it especially funny.

“Surfers pick up on some of the more subtle things in the movie that are cheesy or aren’t quite realistic. Like one shot will be 12-foot waves in Hawaii, and then the next shot will be 2-foot waves at El Porto.”

Local artist Jan Trabin finds beauty inside the ordinary

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Wearing an apron and surrounded by industrial-engineered tools in her workshop retreat in rural Encinitas, Jan Trabin continues to find — and create — beauty in the discarded everyday materials that she has collected over the decades.

Most recently, Trabin was juried into the Art Walk NTC at Liberty Station that took place during the weekend of Aug. 15-16, along with just four other North County artists.

Trabin’s daughter, Lisa Flores, joined her at the event.

The two artists find joy in repurposing the prosaic and have exhibited their artworks together for many years.

In the 1960s, when Flores was a child, Trabin took several of her daughter’s childhood drawings and applied them to her own collages, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that evoked an innocence. These pieces were published at the time in Better Homes and Garden magazine and appeared in an article published in the Los Angeles Times.

Flores also worked for her mother’s Los Angeles-based showroom — JTA (Jan Trabin Associates) — which Trabin founded in 1980. “We have spent all of our lives sharing artwork,� Trabin remarked.

Trabin studied art at Long Beach City College from 1956-1960, then graduated from UCLA’s art department with a degree in fine art, followed by working as an interior designer. Her Los Angeles-based high-caliber clients included such notables as entertainer and movie star Olivia Newton- Jan Trabin has worked with art for her entire career.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Del Mar’s Broken Yolk to shake things up with specialty cocktails

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley residents Randy and McKenzie Corrigan are getting ready to open their third Broken Yolk restaurant in the revamped Beachside Del Mar in midSeptember.

The restaurant will take on a Del Mar vibe and be a bit more beachy than other San Diego locations in style and menu, which for the first time will include crafted cocktails.

The original Broken Yolk opened in Pacific Beach in 1979 and started franchising in 2008. The Corrigans own the Broken Yolk locations in Carmel Mountain Ranch and Ocean-side; the Del Mar restaurant will be the 10th in San Diego. There are 16 Broken Yolks in California and Arizona, and the chain will expand into Florida next year.

McKenzie Corrigan used to be a teacher at Ocean Air School, and as a nod to the neighborhood and her former career, the restaurant’s opening will feature a fundraiser for the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation.

The restaurant will serve up its most popular items, such as its 13 different omelets, crepes, breakfast burritos and “Tiki Toast,” Broken Yolk’s spin on French toast, made with sweet Hawaiian bread and topped with strawberries, blueberries, cara-

mel drizzle and shredded coconut.

Breakfast is served all day long, but there are lunch options such as burgers, tacos and salads.

The Del Mar Broken Yolk will be unique in that it will be the first to feature a full bar. The restaurants have always served beer and mimosas, but for Del Mar, the Corrigans brought in mixologist Frankie Thaheld of Snake Oil Cocktail Company to design a menu of signature drinks.

Thaheld has come up with a variety of clever concoctions like the Oh Sherry, which combines sherry, smashed strawberry, jalapeno, fresh ginger, pressed grapefruit and lemon; and the Garden Variety, which pairs La Quinta agave wine with smashed blackberry, crushed cucumber, torn mint and pressed lime.

The BY Bloody will feature a bacon infusion, and the beachy Tropicana Shake features Ron Copa Rica rum, passion fruit, banana, honey, vanilla ice cream and milk.

Broken Yolk Del Mar is at 2642 Del Mar Heights Road in Beachside Del Mar. For information, call 858-509-YOLK or visit thebrokenyolkcafe.com.

Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Rider, 97, gets back in saddle with Therapeutic Riding Program at HWAC Four generations of family members and beloved friends gathered recently at the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Therapeutic Riding Program’s Riding Arena to watch 97-year-old Helen Downey check the “No. 1 item� off her bucket list — to ride a horse again.

The senior (and her senior therapeutic horse, named Noodles) demonstrated to everyone watching that age is truly a state of mind.

Helen Downey grew up in Los Angeles County and began horseback riding as a Riding a horse again topped La Costa Glen resident child. Her father owned a Helen Downey’s “bucket list,� and the Helen Woodward cattle ranch 60 miles north- Animal Center helped make it come true. Courtesy east of Fresno, and at just 8 photo years old, Downey would help her father herd the cattle along the Kings River for up to four days at a time. During the school year, she even rode her horse to a one-room schoolhouse, tethering it to a post and riding it back home each day when school was finished.

Throughout her adult life, she rode horses casually while living in Connecticut and again, from time to time, when she returned to California and moved to Rancho Santa Fe, but never with the regularity she had experienced as a child. As the years went on, horseback riding became a beautiful part of her past. For most people, the experience would have simply become one reserved for memory. But Downey isn’t like most people.

A recent dream reignited her interest in climbing back onto a horse. “I live at La Costa Glen in Carlsbad, which is a wonderful place with lots of household pets,� said Downey. “A few weeks back, I had a dream about a horse. I was standing next to it, and I knew I was going to ride it. When I woke up, I felt happy and I talked to my friends about it.�

The dream prompted a “bucket list� discussion among the La Costa Glen residents. “Riding a horse topped mine,� said Downey. “Second on the list was getting an iPad and getting into the modern age.� A friend suggested Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Therapeutic Riding Program, and Downey’s granddaughter, Jennifer Henkel, made the phone call.

The center’s Therapeutic Riding Program began in 1980 to assist children and adults with special needs from cerebral palsy to Down syndrome and autism, to stroke recovery

Students ride specially trained horses with certified instructors in weekly sessions to develop increased balance and muscle control, improve concentration and short-term memory, and enhance their confidence and self-esteem. “Many seniors would be intimidated by riding a horse,� said therapeutic riding instructor Gretchen Davis. “It’s quite an athletic feat, which is part of the reason it is such good exercise and physical therapy for our clients. But our program works with all sorts of physical needs, and being elderly certainly wasn’t the most challenging we’ve seen, particularly when you have the type of spirit that Helen has.�

The staff selected Noodles, a 25-year-old Thoroughbred, for Downey’s ride. Although one of the most senior horses at the facility (at approximately 75 years in human years), Noodles is also one of the most alert and vibrant, with a genuine attentiveness to his riders. “Meeting Helen was a shot in the arm,� said Davis. “We work with incredible clients every single day, but every now and again, one comes along who helps you see the program in a completely different light. Helen and Noodles’ connection was beautiful. Age didn’t factor in. They both looked like they could have ridden together all day.�

Downey credits a commitment to maintaining a positive spirit for her active, fulfilling lifestyle. Her joy was clear and contagious. Amid beaming family and friends, she reflected, “Never stop dreaming. With a little help, those dreams can come true at any age.�

AAUW Del Mar-Leucadia Branch celebrates 60th anniversary The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women recently celebrated its 60th anniversary.

Fourteen past branch presidents representing six decades of leadership attended the event and shared their memories of past branch activities. Margaret Edwards, a founding member of the branch and a past president (1959-1960), recalled the early issues which led to the founding of the Del Mar-Leucadia Branch in 1955 to serve the north coastal communities. She also installed the 2015-2016 Board of Directors.

Guest speaker Gabriella Chan, a branch college scholarship recipient, spoke about her dreams and her goal of becoming a physician assistant. She is majoring in Biological Sciences at California State University San Marcos where she is on the Dean’s List.

Outgoing branch president Fran Miller thanked the members for their support of the branch mission to empower all women and girls. As a result of member commitment to that mission, the branch sent eight girls to Tech Trek camp at UCSD this summer and awarded five college scholarships.

Members donated money to AAUW Funds which will support fellowships and grants, promote research into issues affecting women and girls, and continue to fight sex discrimination on the field, in the classroom, and on campus to ensure all students

have access to education.

Branch member Arleen von Schlieder was honored as the 2014-2015 Named Gift Honoree for her commitment to the branch, her focus on increasing the membership and her willingness to step up and organize several successful branch activities.

At its first board meeting, the incoming Board of Directors elected and appointed the branch officers and chairs. Leading the branch for 2015-2016 are President Linda Quinby, Vice President Erma Cox, Recording Secretary Jackie Stone, Treasurer Bobbi Karnes, Membership Sharon Connors and Sharon Corbett-Parry, Programs Arleen von Schlieder and Judy Howarter, AAUW Funds Fran Miller and Kathy Zacher, Public Policy Andrea Henne, College Scholarships Barbara Bladen, Tech Trek Betty Reed, College/University Liaison Marcy Senese and Parliamentarian Nancy Kohrs.

Membership in the American Association of University Women is open to all graduates who hold an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch reflects the varied interests of its members with educational monthly programs and special interest groups such as Great Decisions, dining groups, book groups, film groups and Gadabout.

3rd annual Iron Mike Paddle The third annual Iron Mike Paddle event was held Aug. 15 at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. The event was presented by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association, local business Paddle Planet and city of Solana Beach.

Created in 2013, the Iron Mike Paddle was inspired by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association to honor Mike McKay, a fellow guard who passed away before his time. Known for his strength, friendliness, and positive attitude, McKay died at age 23 of injuries from an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in January 2008.

Proceeds from the event go toward the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, a fund awarding several scholarships every year in outdoor, life-saving endeavors in fields affiliated with McKay. The community event included a five-mile paddleboard race (prone and stand-up paddleboards), Grom O’ Rama kids surf contest, a board swap, live music, food, shaved ice truck, and a beer garden, sponsored by BeerWorks in Solana Beach.

For more information, visit racemill.com/iron_mike_ Easton and Kyle Van Grol paddle.

New Flexible Payment Options For Going Solar As a resident of Carmel Valley, I find the best part of living here to be the abundance of sunshine and good weather. I continue to live here and raise my family here because the people of our community are optimistic, always looking for ways to make a better place for our kids and future generations.

We all agree that helping the environment is a good thing, and I talk to people all the time who would love to do more, including

adding solar panels to their homes, but are daunted by the cost of such a drastic shift to their lifestyle. Fortunately, it is becoming easier and more instantly economical to use alternative energy in our homes. The key is to find the perfect plan for you.

Today there are more financing options than ever for going solar. Companies such as STI Solar offer their own packages.

There are two new types of “Solar as a Service” agreements that offer a nomoney-down acquisition of the system combined with comprehensive insurance, maintenance, monitoring and repairs for the life of the system, so the homeowner does not have to worry about it. Both allow you to transfer your agreement to the new owners or buy out the system ahead of time if you sell your home, and both provide thousands in savings over the term of the agreement.

The Solar Lease is ideal for those managing a tighter budget. Simply pay the same amount every month in a given year and receive all the benefits of low-cost, clean energy.

The Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, allows you to pay a flat kWh rate for the amount of energy your system produces.

The amount you pay will vary monthto-month depending on the system’s production.

There are also great loan programs available for homeowners who want to own their system and take the generous Federal Tax Credit. STI Solar offers a low APR loan that gives you the benefit of ownership without the upfront purchase cost and maintenance expenses at a lower rate than your current utility. And in San Diego and surrounding cities there is the HERO program, a low-interest, long-term, tax-

deductible financing option that is repaid through your property taxes.

Sure, going solar can be a big change.

That’s why it is so important for the leaders in our field to make it as easy and as affordable (not to mention beneficial) as possible to make the change. We’ve made a commitment to you—our neighbors—by helping to protect our valuable resources though offering ways to make it easier for everyone to contribute to a bright future, saving on energy resources while also saving money to invest in our own future.

For any questions on solar energy or STI Solar’s finance options, please contact us at 858-450-9700 Or visit our website at http://www.stisolarenergy.com/solar92130. html

Cont Lic # 418121

contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of MONIQUE M. SALDIVAR. A Petition for Probate has been filed by FRANCES CUFF in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that FRANCES CUFF be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 09/8/2015 Time: 11:00 A.M. Dept.: PC-1.

Address of court: 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance

may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

They’ll play key roles in advancing our goals.”

Dean Loisel – a skilled real estate development and finance executive with more than 15 years’ experience in executing complex projects – will help lead Zephyr’s developments, utilizing his knowledge of real estate investment, acquisitions, contract negotiations and management. Prior to joining Zephyr, he was the vice president of finance for the Faena Group, a real estate and hospitality group from Buenos Aires.

Dolce Pane e Vino to be part of PHR Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) has completed a new lease with Dolce Pane e Vino, a casual upscale dining restaurant with farm-totable wood-fired cuisine, a wine bar and hand-crafted cocktails.

The restaurant’s new location will also offer a cheese and wine retail venue as well as curbside service.

The 10-year lease is valued at $3.2 million and totals 5,126 square feet at The Village at Pacific Highlands Dolce Pane e Vino will be part of the Village at Pacific Ranch.

Dolce Pane e Vino is anticipated to open its doors at 5980 Village Way in November 2015.

Randee Stratton, managing director with NGKF in the firm’s La Jolla office, completed the lease on behalf of Dolce Pane e Vino. CBRE represented the seller, PHR Village, LLC.

Our core values, concept and quality staff that made Dolce the ‘go-to’ place in Rancho Santa Fe will be reflected in Dolce at the Highlands.”

kids back to school, Part 1

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As the dog days of summer fade into the classroom, whether grade school or grad school, students need to shift their energy from brawn to brains, and pick foods that fuel the mind. When I was an associate professor at a community college, I wrote on the front board the hours of the final exam, which were “10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,” then verbally announced them as “10 to 2.” One student, whose head was buried in his desk, did not see the written hours, and arrived at the exam at 1:50, which was 10 minutes to 2 p.m. (10 to 2). This snafu almost cost him his semester grade, but with the dean’s permission, I stayed an extra four hours to let him take the test. This was a teachable moment for me, too. I have since been more precise with my communications.

According to Albert Einstein, “There’s a genius in all of us” — we just have to find it, and make sure we provide the right nourishment for it.

The latter consists of foods that help the brain lock in memory, spur creativity, channel focus and alertness, and spike intelligence. Here is a list of no-brainers for a stellar fall semester.

Brain Food Studies have shown that pregnant women who eat “brain food” rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like carefully chosen fish and seafood, may boost their children’s IQs. During his autopsy, Einstein was found to have 73 percent more glial cells than the average brain. These form during the embryo’s development, so Mama Pauline must’ve been eating right. Einstein himself ate plenty of fish.

Best to stick to wildcaught, deep-sea, cold-water ones like salmon, herring, sardines, mackerel and shrimp. Two of the Omega-3’s in fish known as DHA and EPA are key fatty acids that keep brain cells and neurotransmitters well-lubricated and vibrant, improving mood, wiring and cell-to-cell communications, which translate to better focus and thinking quickly on your feet. Seaweed and other oceanic veggies are also treasuretroves of brain nutrients.

An Egghead It’s no yolk that eggs are a near-perfect package. The whites provide a rich protein

store, while the yolks have a mother lode of choline, a water-soluble nutrient of the Bcomplex family. Choline dials up memory, focus and cognitive function, so get cracking at breakfast, lunch or dinner with deviled or poached eggs, frittatas, omelets, foo youngs, scrambles or egg salad sandwiches.

The Nutty Professor How fitting that walnuts loaded with brain-boosting plant omega-3’s, aka alphalinolenic acid, resemble miniature hemispheres of the brain. These essential fatty acids have been linked to blocking signals produced by free radicals that create inflammation. Walnuts’ omega-3s increase cognitive functioning, similar to fatty acids from animal sources, by keeping the brain lubricated and lively. They also bolster melatonin levels, one of the sleep-regulating hormones.

So if you’re having trouble catching your zzzz’s, munch on some soporific walnuts before bedtime, making you well-rested and alert in the a.m.

Use Your Bean Other brainiacs, like Beethoven, had a penchant for very strong coffee — 60 beans per cup. More than 100 million people in this country start their day with a java jolt. The coffee bean, like its close cousin the cocoa bean, is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and even brain-friendly caffeine. After decades of debate, joe is now considered a high-octane brain fuel when consumed in moderate amounts. The caffeine, in particular, has been linked to boosting short-term memory, increasing focus and problem-solving skills.

Pure dark chocolate with a cocoa content over 70 percent is a brain-stimulating food packed with catechins and antioxidant flavonoids — eight times the number found in strawberries. This blissful bean elevates mood and cognitive functions, so indulge guiltlessly.

Finally, Technicolor lentils in red, orange, green and brown varieties are packed with folate to hike dopamine levels, which ratchets up mood and mental performance.

Here’s a simple and tantalizing “brain food” dish

The Kitchen Shrink

that gets an “A” in my cookbook.

INSALATA GAMBERI Yogurt Dill Dressing: 2 cups Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon minced shallots 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 2 limes, juiced Salt and cracked black pepper to taste 1 finely diced Persian cucumber Salad Ingredients: 1 head butter lettuce, washed, torn in pieces One half of an avocado, sliced lengthwise, pit and shell removed 4 ounces of poached, chilled jumbo shrimp Handful of grape tomatoes, halved Yogurt Dill Dressing For dressing: In a small mixing bowl, blend dressing ingredients. Set aside.

To assemble salad: On a plate, place butter lettuce (option to drizzle with olive oil and lemon); top with avocado half. Toss poached shrimp with yogurt dill dressing and place on top of avocado and lettuce. Garnish with tomatoes.
