‘This isn’t Coachella,’ Kaaboo festival organizers assure Del Mar residents BY KRISTINA HOUCK Kaaboo, a new threeday music festival, is set to take the stage in September at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, but not everyone is excited. With the event a little more than a month away, community members shared their traffic, noise and safety concerns during a meeting Aug. 3 in the Del Mar Communications Center. Described on the event website as a “mix-perience,” the festival will feature more than 100 performances on seven stages from Sept. 1820. The lineup includes a variety of genres, with acts such as No Doubt, The Killers, Zac Brown Band, Train, Snoop Dogg and Foster the People. The event will also offer comedy acts, an art fair, massages, hair and nail services, and food and bev-
erages. Kaaboo is expected to attract about 40,000 people per day. A VIP reception is also planned for about 2,000 people from 5-10 p.m. Sept. 17. Event organizers insisted that the festival will not turn into a party, like the Coachella Festival. “It’s real important to point out the quality of this event as opposed to say, Coachella, which I think you’re all concerned about,” said Becky Bartling, chief operating officer of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “This isn’t Coachella. This is an upscale event.” Organizers are “targeting an older, more sophisticated demographic,” added Julie Coleman, of DenverSee KAABOO, page 22

Happy trails: Del Mar Mesa plan finally receives City Council approval BY KAREN BILLING Way back in September 2008, Carmel Mountain/Del Mar Mesa Preserve trail users crammed into a meeting room at Canyonside Recreation Center to hear the details of a new trail and resource management plan for the open space they en-
joyed, some of the use on illegally forged trails on environmentally sensitive lands. Mountain bikers wore helmets, people toted signs advocating for “Public Access” and users told tales of the desirable single-track trails that wove under the “Tunnels” created by a cano-
py of scrub oak trees. In the seven long years that followed, the trails in the preserve were closed to public access as the plan was developed. The passion of the trail users never dulled for meeting after meeting, as they lobbied for as many legal trails as possible without
compromising the integrity of the Multiple Species Conservation Program, which protects sensitive species in the preserve, such as the scrub oak and coast barrel cactus, and endangered species such as horned lizards and Western spadefoot toads.
After the city’s lengthy and “intensive” process of public outreach and working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the San Diego City Council was fiSee TRAILS, page 19

Clews Ranch appeal of Cal Coast Academy approval not yet resolved • Decision delayed until Aug. 27 about school proposed next to equestrian facility BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Planning Commission has delayed its decision until Aug. 27 on the Clews Horse Ranch appeal of the proposed Cal Coast Academy school, which would be located near the ranch and the Carmel Valley Restoration and Enhancement Project (CVREP) Trail. Cal Coast, a specialized school for 75 students, would like to build a 5,340-square-foot classroom building next to the 140-year-old white home on the property.

‘Emotional Footprint’ important to consider on path of life, writes DM psychiatrist BY KRISTINA HOUCK Aware of our carbon footprint, most of us consider the impact we have on the future of our world. But Del Mar psychiatrist Dr. Saul Levine believes we also need to consider the “emotional footprint” we leave behind. “We all affect each other — and sometimes in minute ways,” he said. “This goes for families, it goes for friends, it goes for people on the streets and in stores.” In his book, “Our Emotional Footprint: Ordinary People and Their Extra-Ordinary Lives,” Levine shares a series of reality-inspired novellas that follow the life stories of 10 different passengers in a single railcar. These individuals embody the extraordinary relationships, life changes and unexpected events that make up the “ordinary” human experience. Through the lens of the four Bs — being, belonging, believing and benevolence — the book examines their lives, how they’ve affected others in the course of their lives, and how they may have been resilient in the face of defeat and gracious in times of success. “Where does this book belong? It belongs everywhere,” said Levine, who has lived in Del Mar for more than 20 years. Born in Montreal, Québec, Levine earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate’s degrees from McGill University. While living in Toronto, he served as professor of psychiatry and head of the department of psychiatry at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre at the University of Toronto from 1970 to 1993. Now professor emeritus in psychiatry at UC San Diego, Levine has worked at the university ever since relocating to Del Mar in 1993. In 2011, he retired as professor of clinical psychiatry and head of the department of psychiatry at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. He continues to teach at the medical school, has a private psychotherapy practice with patients of all ages, and serves as an expert witness and mediator in family and civil disputes. A husband and father of three adult sons and a teenage daughter, Levine has published five other books and is published widely in magazines, newspapers and scholarly journals. Although he didn’t start his latest book until his retirement, “I’ve been thinking about writing this book for many years, and it all came together when I came down here,” Levine said. One of the inspirations behind “Our Emotional Footprint” was Levine’s late father. His father escaped the brutalities in Europe before World War II and came to the “New World” as a young man. “My father came over from Europe impoverished,” Levine recalled. “We had no money as a young family.” Despite disappointments, his father, Mike Levine, always remained resilient. “He was my model,” Levine continued. “He was grateful that he escaped the Nazis, he was grateful that he was given a place to live. He worked hard all his life. He taught me appreciation of life. He was always grateful.”
The book is intended to encourage readers to evaluate their own lives. After working with people for decades, Levine developed a theory that he said helps them to do so. “Everybody wants to be rich and materialistic and get all the toys we can get,” he said. “But when you’re alone and thinking about whether you’re satisfied with your life, it ain’t the toys. It’s nevDr. Saul Levine has writer the toys.” Levine observed that hu- ten “Our Emotional Footmans are “remarkably resil- print.” Courtesy photos ient.” His father’s story is just one example of how resilient human beings can be in the face of adversity, a concept he explores further in his book. “We all have setbacks and we all overcome them — most of the time,” he said. “Nobody gets away unscathed,” he added. “All our lives are dramatic. We all have loves and we all have losses. We all have failures and we all have successes. That’s life.” With that in mind, Levine developed the theory behind his new book. We all need to consider the “emotional footprint” we leave on our loved ones, our community and for the next generation, he said. “We’re not paying attention to how we affect each other — how we can be intolerant, nasty, rude, disrespectful, demeaning,” he said. “People are, and when they do, it has a negative consequence.” Referring again to his father, Levine said he left no valuable personal belongings behind. He did, however, leave a “positive emotional footprint.” “When he passed away, the world was poorer for it,” he said. “It lost a good soul.” Levine hopes the book, published in April, will inspire readers to evaluate their lives as they read about the lives of the 10 railcar passengers. “We really have to think in terms of our emotional legacies and what we’re teaching our kids,” Levine said. “Emotional Footprint” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iUniverse Bookstore.

Q&A: Mass transit, parking were major factors in larger fair attendance, says board president Carmel Valley resident Frederick Schenk — a longtime partner with San Diego-based law firm CaseyGerry — is president of the board of directors for the 22nd District Agricultural Association (San Diego County Fair Board). Schenk, appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011, has a long association with the San Diego County Fair Board, and was appointed previously by former Gov. Gray Davis, serving from 2002 to 2006. This year’s San Diego County Fair recently wrapped up one of its most successful seasons in history. In this Q & A, Schenk addresses the reasons for the Fair’s resounding success, its community outreach and vision for the coming year:
mous Tasti Chips — this year they did not disappoint and fried up 25 tons of Californiagrown potatoes.
We understand this year’s fair was a big success. Can you provide some figures and touch on the reasons for its success? This summer’s San Diego County Fair theme was “A Fair to Remember,” in honor of the centennial anniversary of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition held in Balboa Park. It Frederick Schenk of Carmdrew more than 1,500,000 guests — 45,000 more visitors el Valley is president of than last summer. Even with those strong attendance numbers, we were able to accommodate over 279,000 people the board of directors of from the Solana Beach train station and from off-site park- the 22nd District Agriculing, representing a 3.4 percent increase over last year. In to- tural Association. Courtesy tal, the District reduced the impact of approximately 80,000 photo cars on surface streets accessing the parking lots during this year’s fair. The reason for this success is the continued efforts by our staff to accommodate more guests with mass transit and a focus on educating the public about alternative ways in which to get to the fairgrounds in a safe and convenient way.
Can you touch on the Fair’s community outreach and importance to the community? The Don Diego Foundation, which is made up of community volunteers, helps to raise money to provide college scholarships for college-bound high school seniors who have worked at the fairgrounds — performing such tasks as cleaning up the grounds to help with recycling — or who are interested in agriculture or raising and showing animals at the fair. We also help provide buses for hundreds of children in low-income communities so they can visit the fair at no cost. We are proud of all the efforts to make the fair available to children who might not otherwise enjoy the sights, sounds, and experiences of attending the San Diego County Fair. Also very important to the 22nd DAA: environmental responsibility. This summer, of the total estimated waste stream of over 2,000 tons of material, close to 1,450 tons were recycled — with a 70 percent diversion rate from the landfill.
What were the most popular attractions this year? Of course, many guests enjoy the fair because of the variety of experiences that can be enjoyed throughout the course of the 25 days we are open. Dixie’s Donuts fried up more than 40,000 mini doughnuts. Chicken Charlie sold 3,000 deep-fried Slim Fast bars, while Pink’s hot dogs sold more than 4,100 pounds of hot dogs. Perennial favorites such as Juicy’s sold more than 50,000 turkey legs, and the Country Fair Cinnamon Roll stand used 20,000 pounds of whole wheat flour, along with four tons of cinnamon and sugar to go along with the 500 gallons of cream cheese frosting. A favorite at the San Diego County Fair is the fa-
Would you do anything differently next year? Next year, I hope to be able to report that even more people will use mass transit when visiting the 2016 San Diego County Fair — while achieving record-breaking attendance numbers. Our goals are to make the San Diego County Fair a safe, fun and educational experience, no matter one’s age and no matter how many times guests come back to visit. There is always something new to see and “remember” every day of the San Diego County Fair.
Anything new and different that has been particularly successful? New this year was the addition of “Distilled,” the spirits and cocktail competition and festival that took place on June 27. It featured 37 awards to distilleries from around the globe, including many from San Diego, with the rum competition won by locally owned Ballast Point Spirits. The festival and competition drew big crowds and was extremely popular, as were the already well-known wine and beer competitions. This year we also offered additional outstanding concerts in the Paddock, with new chart-topping artists such as Andy Grammar, as well as ’60s favorites such as Three Dog Night, along with our Grandstand stage lineup for 24 nights of the fair.
What do you envision for next year? The process of getting ready for the 2016 summer fair begins in the fall. As always, we will focus on community, education, great food and fun activities — every day, all day long for everyone who attends. Look for the release of our 2016 theme in a few months.

Local filmmaker focuses on drought in ‘Rivers’ End’ documentary BY KRISTINA HOUCK As Californians cut back their water use in response to the state’s ongoing drought, Carmel Valley filmmaker Jacob Morrison is also doing his part by doing what he does best. In an effort to better inform people about the issue, he is directing a documentary. “We wanted to do something that will educate people about the situation,” Morrison said. “There is so much information out there, but a lot of people don’t have a very good understanding of the drought.” A Canyon Crest Academy alum, Morrison is studying film history, production and theory at the University of Southern California, where he expects to earn a bachelor’s degree in critical studies in 2016.

Teen-created All Girls STEM workshop comes to Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING Women hold less than 25 percent of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs. But one local group, the All Girls STEM Society, is determined to change that by inspiring and encouraging young girls to explore the field through hands-on workshops. The society’s founders are intelligent, passionate, driven — and still sophomores in high school: Veronica Tang, 14, who attends The Bishop’s School, and Eleni Fafoutis, 15, from Mission Viejo who attends Santa Mar- Veronica Tang and Eleni Fafoutis founded the All Girls garita Catholic School.

Girls will learn fun, basic HTML programming and develop their own websites. The teens filled all 25 spaces in their workshop in two days, and they now have a waiting list. Veronica and Eleni, who live more than an hour apart, first met at a Concordia University math summer camp. “We had similar interests and similar points of view, so we became fast friends,” Veronica said. “We were both very nerdy and appreciated each other’s sense of humor.” Veronica said she has been a feminist since the second grade, when she learned about Queen Elizabeth I. When she participated in the San Diego Math Circle’s American Regions Math League competition, she was disappointed to see that of the 60 participants, only six were girls. “I felt bad that there were only six girls,” Veronica said. “That really made me upset that

Thirty girls in grades three through eight, representing five school districts, competed in a fun yet challenging math tournament. The All Girls STEM Society was the follow-up to the math tournament as the girls challenged themselves to strike out on their own. To plan and build their growing organization, their supportive parents drive them to meet halfway at Starbucks and Panera Bread restaurants — the caffeinated teens working on ways to share their passions with the younger set.

Voices for Children aims for the stars with Sept. 19 gala BY KRISTINA HOUCK Voices for Children’s “Starry Starry Night” gala returns Sept. 19 to the San Diego Polo Club in Rancho Santa Fe. With the theme “When You Wish Upon a Star,” organizers hope the 13th annual event will raise awareness and funds so that the wishes of San Diego County’s foster children come true. “Children are our future,” said Del Mar’s Stephanie Bergsma, who is cochairing the event with her husband, Dwight Hare. “If you don’t take care of them and make sure they’re educated and have a decent upbringing, it’s hopeless.” Bergsma and Hare have been married and have lived in Del Mar for nine years. Bergsma got involved with Voices for Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit that recruits, trains and supervises volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), through her work with KPBS, San Diego’s public radio and television station. Originally from Minnesota, Bergsma studied art history at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. In 2013, she retired as associate
general manager of KPBS, where she worked for 30 years. Bergsma has been involved in a variety of organizations in San Diego, including the boards of Francis Parker School, the Museum of Photographic Arts and the Pediatric Diabetes Research Center at UC San Diego. Bergsma learned about Voices of Children through KPBS when it sponsored the nonprofit’s gala. She has served on the board of directors for Voices of Children since 2013. She previously served on the development committee and now serves on the governance committee. “Voices for Children makes an incredible impact on the lives of so many basically abandoned children,” Bergsma said. “I’ve seen that they really make a difference.” To make an event bigger difference, she and Hare signed on as event co-chairs of this year’s gala. “They do so much for so many. It’s remarkable,” said Bergsma, who also serves on the advisory council at KPBS and the advisory committee for the radio show, “A Way with Words.”
Above, the “Starry Starry Night” gala benefits Voices for Children. Photo courtesy Tim Hardy. Right, Dwight Hare and Stephanie Bergsma. Courtesy photo “It’s the only organization of its kind in San Diego, which is even more important.” CASAs provide one-on-one advocacy to children living in San Diego County’s foster care system. Voices for Children’s 1,800 CASA volunteers will provide advocacy for 3,000 foster children this year. Over the course of a year, 5,000 to 5,100 children are in foster care in the county, and about 3,400 at any one time. As the only agency in the county designated by the courts to provide CASA volunteers, Voices for Children aims to “Serve Every Child” and provide every foster child who needs one with a CASA volunteer. “I’m impressed by the way that they coordinate with the legal system,” said Hare, who has more than 30 years of experience in software development and is chief software architect at Parity Computing, where he has worked for seven years. “The legal system depends on the CASAs and the CASAs depend on the legal system. That gives the CASAs a formal

role,” he added. “Both sides depend on the other to help these kids.” Taking place under the stars, “Starry Starry Night” is Voices for Children’s signature fundraising event. Over 13 years, the gala has grown from an intimate event in a private home to a community event grossing more than $1 million in each of the past three years. All net proceeds help Voices for Children recruit volunteers from throughout the community, train them to the highest professional standard, and then match them with foster children who need their advocacy services. More than 340 people attended last year’s gala, which grossed a record-
breaking $1.36 million. “They did exceptionally well last year, so we would love to do even better,” Bergsma said. Hare added, “We want people to have a good time.” The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour featuring mixologists from Snake Oil Cocktail Company, followed by a gourmet dinner by Executive Chef Andrew Spurgin, a live auction and dancing. The evening concludes with drinks, music and sweet delicacies in the after-party lounge. Lunar VIP Tickets are $1,000 per person or $10,000 for a table of 10.

in competitions like Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC), where she was a two-time national finalist. Eleni was also extremely successful at the 2015 Orange County Science and Engineering Fair for her project on predicting and analyzing coronal mass ejections. She won second place in the senior division in physics and astronomy, and special awards from the U.S. Air Force, the American Vacuum Society for her work on developing the image processing in the high-level computing language MATLAB, and a Naval Science Award from the U.S. Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research. Veronica is most interested in mathematics, robotics and computer science, especially coding and programming. “I love coding — coding is my life,” said Veronica, who spent the summer coding Android apps. “What I love about programming is the logic … There’s always a better algorithm.” She spent the past four weeks attending COSMOS (California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science) at UC San Diego and recently became very interested in physics, as has Eleni. All Girls STEM Society workshops are tentatively scheduled through early 2016, including a math workshop on Nov. 8, an aerospace workshop on Jan. 31 and a robotics/engineering workshop on March 26. The teens hope to wrap up the year’s worth of workshops with a STEM competition for the girls to show off what they have absorbed. Both girls credit supportive parents for stoking their interest in science when they were younger. They played with electronics kits rather than Barbie dolls, and were given room to excel in their schools. But they know not everyone gets the same opportunities and encouragement. Even if girls do choose to enter fields like science, physics or engineering, said Eleni, when they get to college they might find they are the only woman in the classroom. “They may feel uncomfortable in that environment and choose to go elsewhere,” Eleni said. “Our philosophy is to make sure that girls don’t feel that way about science. We want them to expand on their interests, and grow and fall in love with these subjects, and find the confidence they always had.” Eleni and Veronica have found their confidence and are aiming for careers in engineering, aerospace and biomedical science or computer science, and electrical engineering, respectively. Their journeys have been successful and they want to help other girls pursue the same goals and break barriers. “We really want to get our name out there and develop a ‘fan base’ of girls who will show up and come to support our events,” Eleni said. “We hope to expand everywhere in between San Diego and Mission Viejo.” To learn more or register for upcoming workshops, visit allgirlsstemsociety.org.
Gary Stevens and Beholder win Grade I, $300K Clement L. Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON With Triple Crown hero American Pharoah absent from Del Mar last weekend, another champion took center stage. Twotime Eclipse Award winner Beholder, piloted by Gary Stevens, made a shambles of the field in the Grade I, $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes on Saturday, Aug. 1. It was seven lengths back to Yahilwa, followed by Warren’s Veneda. Beholder, a 5-year-old mare, covered the 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.81 on the main track. Trainer Richard Mandella said Beholder may next run against the boys in the Grade I, $1 million Pacific Classic on Aug. 22, Del Mar’s signature race. “It has been in the back of my mind a while,” he said. “The timing is good. We’re far enough away from the Breeders’ Cup to do it. The question will be that it’s three weeks (to the race) and will she look good enough to do that. It’ll be up to her and (owner) Mr. (B. Wayne) Hughes, obviously. I’ll have to get his approval.” Among other stakes

Local teen swimmers from North Coast Aquatics, including one from Canyon Crest Academy, have launched the Ocean’s Seven Swim Project, a relay swim across the Catalina Channel to raise $10,000 to benefit local nonprofit Fresh Start Surgical Gifts and its mission of providing free-of-cost reconstructive surgeries and other related health care services for children with physical deformities caused by birth, accidents, abuse, or disease. A group of seven competitive female swimmers, ages 14 and 15, will participate in the swim crossing to begin at 11 p.m. Sept. 11. Donations to the Ocean’s Seven Swim Project will directly benefit the Fresh Start Medical Program. “My mother was a volunteer surgeon for Fresh Start and helped provide medical care for a child with a genetic disorder,� said Heloise Leblanc, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy and a member of the Ocean’s Seven Project. “As young athletes, our team is inspired by the progress, strength and success stories of all Fresh Start kids.� The relay consists of each girl swimming one-hour solo legs (most of which will be in complete darkness) and potentially sub-60-degree water with no wetsuits or any direct external assistance until they arrive onshore. The total distance for the crossing is more than 32 kilometers (20 miles). The goal is to finish in under eight hours, given good conditions. Swimmers will be accompanied by an experienced crew, a boat, and kayaks to ensure their safety. The crossing will be sanctioned by the Catalina Channel Swimming Federation and is subject to their rules and regulations. “We are honored that these young ladies have selected Fresh Start as the benefactor for their relay,� said Fresh Start CEO Shari Brash-
High School graduate who received the Congressional Gold Medal and the Girl Scout Gold Award. Williams will attend Duke University in Durham, N.C. in the fall and plans to study psychology. She is the daughter of Patrick Hanson, employed by Marsh & McLennan, a OneBeacon producer partner, and Cari Hanson. Through its annual college scholarship program, OneBeacon awarded $2,000 scholarships to 16 high school seniors, including eight children of OneBeacon employees and eight children of the company’s distribution partners. Recipients were selected based on their academic performance, leadership roles and participation in school and community Jessica Williams activities. OneBeacon’s scholarship program is available to OneBeacon employees and the agents, brokers and wholesalers that represent the company’s various specialty businesses.

Softball standouts rely on each other to help keep Falcons on top of the pack BY GIDEON RUBIN Xstaviana “Stavi� Augur and Cassie Kaelber are both impact players. The Torrey Pines softball standouts just make their impact in different ways. Xstaviana, who’ll be a junior next season, is a slugging third baseman with offthe-charts aptitude. Cassie, who’ll also be a junior, is a slap-hitting speedster with a propensity for making sensational plays at shortstop. Both athletes played a key role in maintaining the Falcons’ status as an upper-echelon program after heavy graduation losses each of the two previous seasons. With just one senior in their starting lineup, the Falcons pushed eventual Open Division champion to the brink in the Palomar League title race last season. It wasn’t until the last day of the regular season that a loss to Poway eliminated Torrey Pines. Xstaviana has already committed to Division I Coastal Carolina. Cassie is likely to commit to a Division I program too, said Torrey Pines coach Jonathan Moore. Xstaviana and Cassie have been friends since they were 8, playing together on the same 8-and-under North Shore club team. They were also teammates on the North Shore’s 12-and-under team. That friendship has helped forge a comfort level on the left side of the infield, which both players say has helped them achieve success. The return of both players portends a bright future for the Falcons. “Those kids are the building blocks,� Moore said. “They’re both Division I college players, and both are and have been vital to our success.�
B o t h p l a y e r s played leadership roles behind recent graduate Shelbianne Evans, a third-team all-state selection, who last season was the team’s only senior everyday player.

Xstaviana has already established herself as one of the most dangerous hitters in San Diego County. Last season she batted .434 (33 for 76) with 12 extra-base hits including five home runs. She’s already set the school’s career record for home runs with nine. “Stavi is the most talented player I’ve ever had in 20 years,� Moore said. “She’s a special, special talent.� And her softball talents are matched by her softball smarts, he said. “She’ll read me signs and then right before the pitch; she’ll move, inside pitch to a righty and she’ll move over to the line,�

Cassie Kaelber Moore said. “In two years she’s never missed a pitch.� Xstaviana has impressed with her energy, too, Moore said, noting that she runs out ground balls and even the most routine of popups with gusto. “Every time,� he said, “she’s 10 feet from second base in case they drop it.� And Xstaviana isn’t shy about assuming a leadership role. “She’s super-competitive, and she knows what she’s doing,� Kaelber said of her. “She’s really loud on the field, and she’s really smart.� Cassie is the quieter of

Letters to the editor/Opinion
DM council should follow its own guidelines The July 30 Del Mar Times included an article regarding the selection process for the recently created Ad-Hoc Committee that is tasked with reviewing Del Mar’s Design Review Ordinance (“DRO”). It was noted that I had applied to the committee, but was not selected. While this is true, I believe readers may interpret my position regarding the need for a doover as being a disgruntled candidate because I was not selected. This is not true. I have raised this issue solely because the City Council failed to follow its own resolution and a well-established procedure in selecting committee members. I am not alone — 129 residents have signed letters/emails in support of this position. Resolution 2015-24 establishes the Ad-Hoc committee and states staff is to “schedule interviews for the committee appointments.” Council interviews for committee positions is a well-established practice in Del Mar. For no stated or apparent reason, the council chose to deviate from the Resolution and its normal procedure by not conducting interviews. Virtually everyone agrees the council made a mistake by not following the Resolution and its practice. Mayor Al Corti and Council Member Sherryl Parks have apologized to the community for how the Council handled this. Council Member Terry Sinnott said the process was rushed, and the council needs to revisit how the Ad-Hoc Committee was established. This is an extremely important committee, as it will be reviewing a key Del Mar ordinance — the DRO. The DRO effectively shapes the character of Del Mar, and any changes will impact our community for years. The council must ensure the Ad-Hoc committee is composed of members with a balance of viewpoints that fairly represent the entire community. The committee needs to operate in the best interest of the entire community and its findings and recommendations must be objective and factually based. It is critical that the council make as informed a decision as possible in selecting committee members. By failing to conduct interviews, it bypassed a key means of assessing candidates. The council needs to do the right thing — conduct a do-over by rescinding the current appointments and going through the interview process. If I am part of that process and don’t get selected, I am OK because I will at least know the council will have made a more informed decision in selecting other candidates. Greg Rothnem Del Mar
Crest Canyon lightning fire a wake-up call BY GORDON CLANTON In my 40 years in and around Del Mar, the boom of thunder has been rare and the flash of lightning even rarer. Part of the charm of our “perfect weather” is that we hardly ever have thunderstorms. Such displays occur in the nearby mountains and in the desert beyond. But not here on the benign coast. Until recently. Amid several days of anomalous thunderstorms, a lightning strike on the western wall of Crest Canyon ignited a fire at 6:20 a.m. Saturday, July 18. Jan Savage, who lives on the eastern rim of the canyon, saw the fire, took a photo (Del Mar Times, July 23), and phoned for help. Firefighters extinguished the blaze in about an hour. The lightning fire was a wake-up call for Del Mar and Del Mar Hills. Any fire that starts in Crest Canyon is a threat to adjacent neighborhoods. In this case, the heavy rains dampened the spread of the fire. But during the dry season, an illegal campfire or a carelessly tossed cigarette could spark a fire that would threaten homes near the canyon. I visited the fire site yesterday, about halfway down the western slope. Lightning had struck one of two magnificent Torrey pines standing perhaps 50 feet tall and 20 feet apart with their branches intermingled. Both trees were badly scorched, but both probably will survive. To view the fire site, find the trailhead at the intersection of Crest Road and Hoska Drive in Del Mar. Walk an easy 60 yards east on the trail. Look downhill to your right for the best view of the burned trees, two tall redheads towering over the green surround and the buff-colored sandstone. Don’t walk over to the trees. The ground is steep and uneven and vulnerable to erosion. You also can see the burned trees across the way from the two eastern entrances to Crest Canyon Park, one near the intersection of Durango and Lozana, the other near the north end of Recuerdo. Crest Canyon is a neighborhood open-space park for Del Mar and Del Mar Hills, but also a great regional treasure, with hiking and running trails framed by orange sandstone walls and studded with magnificent Torrey pines. A great place for parents and kids and dogs. And now there is a new site to visit in Crest Canyon. The fire-scarred twin Torreys that remind us of Mother Nature’s recent fiery visit.

Care ‘n Share Toy Drive a huge success for Torrey Pines Rotary Club Many thanks to each and every one of you for the moral support and major role you played in helping to make Torrey Pines Rotary Club’s 2015 Care ‘n Share Toy Drive a huge success! We collected and distributed just over 8,500 new and gently used stuffed animals this year (as compared with 5,225 last year)! Hooray! You’ve not only helped to put a smile on the face of each child who will receive a stuffed animal; you’ve also helped provide a teachable moment for parents who want to teach their children to give something to another child less fortunate, and an opportunity for those who generously donated a stuffed animal to feel good themselves about what they’ve done. It is truly heartwarming to see how many are willing to give up the prizes they worked so hard (and spent so much!) to win at the Fair, and to see the gently used stuffed animals that have meant so much for so many years that are passed along to someone else to love and cuddle with. The majority of the stuffed animals have been distributed to Rady Children’s Hospital, Hospital Infantil de las Californias, Children’s Lifeline, and Dignity Delivery, with the remainder going to other organizations serving needy children in the region. Many thanks to those who hosted collection bins and generously supported us with in-kind services: Affordable Printer Care, Clone Duplicating & Printing, The Lawton Group, Rossi’s Pizza; and the county libraries in 4-S Ranch, Bonita-Sunnyside, Casa de Oro, Del Mar, El Cajon, Rancho San Diego and Vista. We appreciate your support! Many thanks also to those who were an integral part of the 576-plus volunteer hours during the 24 days of the Fair. A very special thanks to Randy Stoke for sorting all of the stuffed animals so that they’d be ready for distribution! And to Joe who made it easy to get them all delivered. We have much to be thankful for. Thanks to you for helping to brighten the day of a sick child! With heartfelt gratitude, Nancy Stoke Chair, Care ‘n Share Toy Drive Torrey Pines Rotary Club

dows and metal mesh screens, and be fully outfitted with a sprinkler system. Cal Coast will also run a water line to the site and install a fire hydrant, and has agreed to cancel school when there is a Red Flag Alert in the coastal area. “All of the property’s architecture and brush management plan has been reviewed by development services and the fire department, and both have concluded that it meets and exceeds the requirements under the code for fire protection,” said John Fisher, DSD development project manager. One of the Clewses’ main concerns is evacuations in the event of a fire, as there is only one access road. Students, staff and horses all trying to evacuate could be “disastrous” on the small road, according to the Clewses’ attorney, Kevin Johnson. There is a second emergency access point out to Tang Road and Carmel Creek Road but as Johnson said, the Clewses have no obligation to grant access to that road to the school and no reason to “facilitate a project that would essentially run them out of business.” Another concern about the school’s access is that Clews owns the parking lot on Carmel Country Road — it was given to the city as an easement for public use of the CVREP Trail. Clews said it is heavily used during the time of school drop-off and pick-up. “If the project goes through, now you’re impacting residents of Carmel Valley that use that lot so they can enjoy the CVREP Trail,” Clews said. When a proposed Neighborhood 8 park is built on Tang Road, the easement will be vacated so the lot will no longer be there. The school does not have a contingency plan for when that lot goes away, Clews said. Golba said he heard the testimony about the school’s impact on the horses, about them being spooked and causing injuries to riders, but he still did not think the school could have that big of an impact on the ranch. “Honestly, the existing location of the ranch is not exactly a quiet pasture or meadow out in Lake Cuyamaca. The Cal Coast campus is literally sitting on the freeway — you can reach out and touch it as you drive by,” Golba said, noting that the ranch is under the flight path for jets from Miramar, and there are trucks rumbling and horns honking on the freeway. “(Noise) is a fixture of your environment whether Cal Coast comes in or not … The students are going to be sitting inside a bomb shelter with no acoustics — how is the school a new threat that you’re not dealing with already?” Clews said that jets and freeway noise are relatively far away; it’s the sudden noises of the school’s day-to-day activity, just 15 feet away from the riding arena, that will have the biggest effect. He said the intensification of use would force trainers at his ranch to leave and undermine everything he’s built in the past 10 years. “It’s not the right place for it. It should be used for a single-family residence,” Clews said. “This will put me out of business.” Vice Chair Stephen Haase said he struggled with why the location is so necessary to build this school and how the school’s mission is served by such an isolated location.

for 81). “She’s super-fast and she’s a great defensive shortstop,” Moore said.” She makes highlight-reel plays all the time.” Cassie served notice as a freshman, beating out an established starter from the Falcons 2012 San Diego Section championship team the previous year for the starting job. “She has great range,” Xstaviana said of Cassie. “She’s just all-around clutch.” Cassie acknowledged that keeping up Torrey Pines’ winning tradition brought with it some added pressure. But she said that it’s also a source of pride. “We had really high expectations because we were really good before, but we just tried to keep everyone positive to try to keep it going,” she said. Both players said their friendship has helped sustain them amid some of the pressures that came with leadership roles as sophomores in a program with high expectations. “We just have a bond and a trust that will never be lost,” Cassie said. Xstaviana believes that bond has made both of them better. “I think we’ve really pushed each other over the last two years starting as freshmen and then last year,” she said. “I think it’s really helped on and off the field. Our friendship has gotten stronger.” Not that they haven’t tested it. Both players say that their friendship has allowed them to criticize without worrying about hurt feelings. “We can tell each other when we’re doing something wrong, and we know we won’t take offense,” Cassie said. “I trust that she’ll have my back and that she can pick me up.”
Golf tournament to support grief camp for kids Help bring comfort and support to grieving children by participating in, or sponsoring, the eighth annual Camp Erin San Diego Golf Tournament on Sept. 22 at The Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe.

“There’s no synergy between the open space uses, and we’re building the Berlin Wall out there. …The students have to shelter in place, and they don’t get to have any outdoor activities,” Haase said. Cal Coast Academy founder Jan Dunning asserted her belief that the location is ideal for a country-style school. Dunning noted that the students will get PE off site, and that because of the school’s flexible scheduling, many enrolled students are pursuing professional athletic careers, so their training is considered independent study PE. Dunning said that the school serves an unfortunately growing population of students who are anxiety-ridden and stressed about attending large schools. “Our environment is relaxed and intimate, with a 6:1 student teacher ratio. The students get the individualized attention they need,” Dunning said. “With the TLC, closeness and support we offer … they do beautifully.”
TRAILS nally able to approve the resource management plan on Aug. 3, opening 7.9 miles of trails while restoring 13.3 miles of illegally created paths. “I think this does deserve applause,” Council President Sherri Lightner said after the unanimous vote. “This is huge.” Lightner requested an addition to the council’s resolution that ensures the plan takes effect immediately in areas outside the coastal zones, as she said it was important to get as much of it in place as soon as possible. The part of the plan that deals with areas within the coastal zones will not take effect until the California Coastal Commission certifies it. “This plan has been in the works for a very, very, very long time. The environmental document even had to be redone, and this effort was started before I was first elected and was very contentious. I attended several meetings that were pretty inspiring, and I know staff worked through them,” Lightner said, thanking the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve Citizens Advisory Committee for their support and the several community planning boards that participated, including Carmel Valley and Del Mar Mesa. “The final plan is great, and I’m so happy it’s finally before us today. It will define trails for park users, restore habitat and enable the creation of an east-west trail if the regulatory agencies support it in the future.” Chris Zirkle, the deputy director of open space division, said the city did an “exhaustive review” of the trails in an attempt to get public buy-in while still doing their primary job of preserving one of the most “rare and pristine examples of exceptional habitats in the city of San Diego,” val-

ued by both environmentalists and recreational users. “We cannot have as many trails as requested by trail users because of wildlife management concerns, but we do have a general consensus from the user groups of the trails plan, which has been the most contentious part of this planning process,” Zirkle said. The largest point of contention is the east-west connection. Requests were made from various planning groups such as Del Mar Mesa, Carmel Valley and the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve Citizens Advisory Committee that the connection be provided to make the plan viable. Zirkle said U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife own the property, and both agencies declined to allow the city to draw a line on the map for trail purposes. The plan does, however, include language that the connection can be added without an amendment, should the agencies give authority to cross state and federal land. Frank Landis, the California Native Plant Society’s conservation committee chair, spoke in support of the plan. “I don’t think it’s perfect, but it’s way more than good enough,” said Landis, who volunteers his time in the preserve to keep it clean. “I strongly believe that Del Mar Mesa needs to be opened up to the public.” Landis described the preserve as one of the most distinctive habitats in Southern California. Scrub oaks, among the rarest oaks in California, generally grow 12 feet tall outside the preserve. But they routinely grow to reach 40 feet tall in Del Mar Mesa — creating the preserve’s beloved Tunnel trails under the oaks. “This is worth protecting,” Landis said, showing the council photos of the tunnels. “It needs to be open so that we can show the local community what it has right at their heart, and teach them to care about it.”

Local author’s books portray sweeping story of America BY JARED WHITLOCK Local resident Richard Fitchen is working on a five-book, historical fiction series spanning America’s history. In other words, he’s ambitious. While many authors would quiver at the thought of such a herculean project, Fitchen said he can ”hardly wait to get started writing in the mornings.” “It’s terrific fun,” he said. “I’ll start researching and writing and next thing I know, a few hours have gone by.” “Staircase to Liberty: Joseph’s America,” the latest book in the series, can be found on www.amazon.com. So far, three novels in the saga have been released. Fitchen has drawn upon his background in political science and library sciences to research and write the sweeping series. He taught in the U.S. and abroad, later becoming the social sciences biographer in Yale University’s Libraries. He retired as a bibliographer and head of the reference department at Stanford University Libraries. “Being able to research things, knowing where to go, who to talk with, there’s a kind of understanding you devel- Author Richard Fitchen has op,” Fitchen said. That’s not to say the series is overly academic. As with just released the third all historical fiction, detail and accuracy are important, but volume in his American historical series. Fitchen said characters and storytelling drive the saga. “It’s important to me that it not be just history or sociology or political science,” he said. “The reader should care about the characters. It’s not just reading facts on a page.” The five-part series travels through American history by following generations of two families: the progressive, mixed-race LaBarres and the ruthless Camerons, who threaten the LaBarres at every turn. In “Staircase to Liberty,” Britain still rules America as Joseph LaBarre’s naval trading business is threatened by London. Not to mention, Angus Cameron plots to take out Joseph and cripple the fledgling United States. Characters in the book aren’t merely witnesses to history, but rather play a key role. Joseph LaBarre, for instance, convinces patriot leaders, including George Washington, that unfettered trade is necessary to achieve liberty. “These schooners at the time were carrying on trade and in some cases defending ports,” Fitchen said. He wrote a few short stories in his younger years. When he retired in 2000, he decided to tackle his idea of writing a five-volume series “covering all the American national experience and major events.” Fitchen wrote a novel about pre-Civil War America that was, he said, long and heavy on
ACCELERATING TENANT SUCCESS WITH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
history. He was encouraged to pare it down, but just couldn’t bear to shed too many words. Instead, years later, he moved on to the sequel “United by Covenant: Ben’s America,” the third in the series that covers just before the Civil War to 1906. By then, he was guided by a new writing philosophy: Less is more. “I left what I considered to be the best pickings in the book, so it’s more accessible and interesting.” Although Fitchen is certainly bookish, he has no shortage of practical knowledge. For instance, he worked as a firefighter in Santa Cruz County for the Division of Forestry during college. “It’s definitely not intellectual work,” he said. “You’re breaking fire lines. You’re fighting fires.” Real-life experiences like this inform his writing, he added, even though much of the saga takes place centuries ago. Another book in the series, “Republic in Triumph,” tells the tale of civil liberties,
women’s rights and the transportation revolution through the lens of attorney Jessie LaBarre. Fitchen said the next book in the saga, which he’s still working on, will explore the technology boom in Silicon Valley in the 1980s and then move up to present day. Themes will run the gamut, from the environment to security to economics. For that book, he’s working on compiling the major events of the past three decades. So he wrote down a list of noteworthy events for each year in this span. His office, he said, is often filled with such notes, particularly when he’s in the groove. “This could inform plotting or events in the book,” Fitchen said. At the end of the morning interview, Fitchen said the rest of his day would be devoted to research and writing. “I’m excited to return to 1980 and learn more,” he said. Visit richardfitchen.com.

The company has previously given presentations to the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board, which governs the state-owned fairgrounds, and to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, the Del Mar City Council and the Solana Beach City Council. “This is a place to relax and enjoy; this is not a kid’s party,” Coleman said. “This is something for all of you to come and have a great time.” The festival is geared for people ages 25 to 55, Coleman explained. The average ticket buyer is 38 years old, paying $199 to $2,499 for a three-day pass. One- and two-day passes are also now available from $125 to $575. “I don’t care if they’re paying $1,000, they still have big voices,” said Bud Emerson, who has lived in Del Mar for nearly 45 years. “I can hear everything now, and I’m all the way up on the hill.” Although the expected daily attendance is comparable to Opening Day at the racetrack, Coleman maintained that the community would not experience comparable traffic on the roads. “The race days, everybody comes at one time and they jam up the roads,” she said. “Our program is staggered throughout the day.” Gates will open at 11 a.m., with the heaviest traffic expected in the mid-afternoon, she said. Although outdoor events will end at 10 p.m., the latest events, such as indoor comedy shows and a “late-night dance party,” will end at 2:30 a.m. Organizers expect lighter crowds at those events. “We created the late-night events to help lessen the traffic impact on the community,” said Coleman, adding that all late-night events will be located indoors. “Those events will keep the traffic flow staggered, as much as possible, to help ease the tension on those gates and on the streets.” Still, Coleman said Kaaboo organizers “can’t control” when people leave. “We can’t force them out the door or stop them from going out the door,” she said. “But you can put the burden on us?” asked Del Mar resident Bill Michalsky. “We’re not putting the burden on you,” Coleman responded. “We’re going to try and do our best to mitigate the traffic impact.” A team including 10 traffic deputies and 60 traffic controllers will help alleviate congestion. In addition, attendees must purchase on-site parking passes in advance. A maximum of 9,000 vehicles will be parked on the fairgrounds’ property, Coleman said. Spaces will not be resold, so there won’t be any turnover. Most vehicles will exit out Jimmy Durante Boulevard and up Via de la Valle to get back on Interstate 5. Those without prepaid parking passes will have to use off-site lots. Offsite parking will be available at Del Mar Horse Park and potentially the Kilroy’s office complex, also on El Camino Real. Buses will be routed off I-5 and up Via de la Valle, not down Highway 101, Coleman said. To further mitigate traffic, traffic and parking instructions will be mailed to attendees along with event wristbands. Signs directing traffic to off-site lots will also be posted on the freeway and roads. Event organizers have partnered with public transit pro-

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
viders to offer bundled transit with admission. A free shuttle service will also be provided from the Solana Beach Transit Center. Buses from the train station will come down Highway 101 and go up Via de la Valle through the Solana Gate at the Fairgrounds, Coleman said. In addition to buses, the Solana Gate will be open for the artists and VIP parking. The general public will use the Main Gate at the fairgrounds. Organizers are also encouraging carpooling. Festivalgoers who arrive with three or more people in a vehicle will receive food tickets and late-night party discounts. A free bike valet will also be located near the event entrance. In addition to parking and traffic, noise is another major community concern. To help reduce sound, Coleman said organizers have worked with a national sound engineering expert to conduct testing and develop a plan to mitigate noise levels in the neighborhood. Outdoor stages will be directed away from the surrounding neighborhoods, while indoor stages will feature modified sound levels and temporary insulation to contain the sound within the spaces. “We know we have to follow the sound ordinance, and we know it’s going to be very difficult,” Coleman said. “We know it’s a hard sound ordinance for us to follow, so we’re going to do everything we can … to put things in place to make sure we don’t violate it and make sure we act quickly if we have a problem.” During the festival, community members can call the Fairgrounds with any concerns as 858-792-1104. “Once I’m woken up at 3 a.m. by somebody behaving badly, if there’s presence there, people will be less likely to do it,” said Ed Yuskiewicz, a 20-year Del Mar resident. “But if there’s no presence and we have to wait for something to happen, sure you’ll come and you’ll do something about it, but what about the fact that I’m now up at 3 o’clock in the morning?” In response, Coleman said that the safety and security of patrons, neighbors and employees is a top priority. Kaaboo will have its own emergency services personnel and resources that will not be pulled from local communities. Organizers are also working with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department to make sure personnel are aware of and understand the plans they have in place. A total of 70 deputies will be available during peak hours, approximately 3-11 p.m. on event days, said Pat Kerins, chief of security for the Del Mar Fairgrounds. They will patrol the perimeter of the fairgrounds and the streets, he said. There will also be dedicated patrol units in the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, but the Sheriff’s Department will determine how many, he said. “Is it overkill? Probably some people think it’s overkill,” Kerins said. “But it’s a first-year event. We want to err on the side of safety.” Still, some residents want more resources in the neighborhoods. “I want you to have more presence in the (Beach) Colony,” Yuskiewicz said. “I’d like to see a plan. It would be great for the people who live in the beach community here. “I want you to succeed at the event, but not at our cost,” he added. “If you get out in front of a lot of these issues, it bodes well for you in the future. If you don’t, then all of us are going to be very, very upset at the end of it all.” City Manager Scott Huth reassured community members that it is the city’s intent to patrol up to 15th Street through the Beach Colony, along San Dieguito Drive and Jimmy Durante Boulevard during the festival and after the
adding solar homes, but dd l panels l to their h h b 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
last event. “We’re all in the same boat in that we’re trying to make sure that we don’t have impacts that bleed outside of the fairgrounds,” said City Manager Scott Huth. “We want the fairgrounds to be safe, and we want our communities to be safe, and we want you to get your sleep because I know how you get when you don’t get your sleep and you call me.” Organizers would not disclose how many tickets have been sold, but Coleman said that the show will go on no matter what. In fact, they are already looking forward to next year. Although organizers originally intended to offer onsite accommodations for overnight visitors at the fairgrounds, Coleman said attendees are now being referred to local hotels. Festivalgoers might be able to stay onsite in the future. “We plan to be here next year,” Coleman said. “We know that we have a lot to live up to, that we have a lot to deliver, both to our guests as well as to the community and to the fairgrounds. We’ve got a lot of work to do, a lot of promises we’ve made to try and be good neighbors, to provide an awesome experience for our guests, and to make it an experience where people want to come back.” For more about Kaaboo, visit kaaboodelmar.com.

Construction would take place in three phases over 36 to 40 months. Because the project is taller than 16 feet, it is subject to the city’s view process, which includes installing story poles to show the proposed height and general outline of the buildings. During the 30-day public review period, owners or occupants of residential property may file a view assessment application if they believe their primary view would be impaired by the proposed project. The original filing period for view assessment ended on July 24. At the request of some of the nearby residents, however, the applicant agreed to extend the submittal deadline to Aug. 7, City Manager Greg Wade said. It costs $600 to file a view assessment application. As of July 29, the city has received eight applications for the project, Wade said.

school site council, and the PTA executive board. “I want to serve our community,” wrote Gretler in his application. “As I consider opportunities to serve, I look for opportunities that align with my interests, knowledge and experience. There is nothing more important to me than my children and their education.” Lee has worked with global Fortune 100 companies such as LG, Hitachi and JBL. He also served on the board of the Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization. In his application, he said he is passionate about being involved in his neighborhood, with youth athletics and arts and sciences, and has a strong desire to join the board “to provide access to the best opportunities to help shape the future of not only (my) two children but every child within the community.” In March, the district went through a similar process to fill a board vacancy left by Doug Perkins. At that time, 11 candidates applied for the position, with Erica Halpern being appointed. Gretler was among those who applied in March.
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 cities there is the d surrounding d h h HERO O program, a low-interest, long-term, taxdeductible 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.

Inspired by physical challenge, ‘I can make a difference,’ says TPHS grad • DM Rotary awards Tess Cimino its Service-Above-Self Award for positive approach to life, volunteer work BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although born with a chest deformity, Tess Cimino has never let her condition become a burden. In fact, it has only served as inspiration. “I’ve decided to be confident with myself and not take what others say about it personally,” said 18-year-old Cimino, who lives in Solana Beach. “That’s helped me become stronger and persevere through a lot.” Cimino has pectus excavatum, a congenital condition where the breastbone is sunken into the chest, pressing on her heart and lungs. Although she could have shied away from the topic, she has chosen to share her story publicly, often blogging about her condition online. In an effort to help other girls who might deal with body issues, she also spoke out against plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons in a Teen Vogue article. For years, Cimino chose not to have surgery to correct her protruding chest. Because it was becoming difficult to breathe, however, she had surgery in March to relieve pressure on her heart and lungs. “I know a lot of girls struggle with accepting themselves and their bodies, so it’s important to me to be a role model for them,” she said. “I want girls to feel comfortable with themselves. Even though I have this and it’s been really hard, I don’t want other people to bother me and I don’t want other girls to be bothered by others either.” A recent Torrey Pines High School graduate, Cimino recently received the Rotary Club of Del Mar’s Eric Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self Award (see event photos on page B16). The award is presented to a Torrey Pines student who, though physically challenged, is an inspiration to fellow students because of a positive approach to life and readiness to volunteer, capturing the
spirit and principles of Rotary. “It was really special,” Cimino said. “Receiving this award for overcoming a challenge with my body and my surgery was exciting.” Cimino missed a month of school after her surgery. Still, she stayed up to date with her classwork and graduated in June. “I have to keep up with everyone else, but I’ve worked hard to do that,” she said. While in school, Cimino played volleyball at Torrey Pines and with WAVE Volleyball Club. She co-founded Fashion for a Cause, a fashion focused-club that raised funds for local charities. She was also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and National Charity League, a mother-daughter philanthropic organization, and a volunteer with Helen Woodward Animal Center, the Helen Bernardy Center for Medically Fragile Children and Miracle League. “I’ve always been really compassionate and caring toward others,” Cimino said. “I can make a difference and help other people that need it.” After graduation, Cimino went on a 11day volunteer service trip with Rustic Pathways to Laos, where she worked at an elephant conservation center. She also recently traveled to London and Switzerland with her family. In the fall, Cimino will start at Marist College, a private, liberal arts college in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where she plans to study fashion design. She hopes to one day have a career that combines fashion with charity. “Be confident with yourself,” Cimino said. “No matter what you look like, you’re beautiful. No matter what anyone says, you’re the most important person in your life. Whatever you think about yourself is true. Don’t let anyone try to change you.”

Solana Beach teenager, 13, named ‘top female athlete’ among junior lifeguards BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Sofia Rodgers joined the Solana Beach Junior Lifeguards just last year, she is already ranked as one of the state’s top junior lifeguards. The 13-year-old was honored as “Top Female Athlete” of the Junior Lifeguards’ competition at the 2015 California State Games on July 16 at Coronado Central Beach. “I was really surprised,” said Sofia, who lives in Solana Beach. “It was really good to know.” An eighth-grader at Earl Warren Middle School, Sofia joined the Solana Beach Junior Lifeguards last summer when she was 12. The program, which is open to children ages 7 to 16, promotes self-esteem and physical fitness. The program’s Carter Reeves was also named “Top Male Athlete” at the California State Games. “I like Junior Guards because it’s taught me a lot about the ocean and how to be safe in the ocean,” said Sofia, who also competes in track and field at her school and plays soccer for Arsenal FC San Diego. “It’s made me feel more comfortable just being in the water

in general.” It was Sofia’s first time participating in the California State Games, a multisport festival of Olympic-style competition for the state’s amateur athletes of all ages and abilities. The competition was open to any Junior Lifeguard Program associated with the California Surf Lifesaving Association. Junior Lifeguard events included distance run, distance swim, run-swim-run, run relay, swim relay, paddle relay, rescue relay and beach flags. “It was a lot of fun,” Sofia said.

Sprague meshes rock, jazz and Latin touches in latest album, ‘Dream Walkin’ ’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY JARED WHITLOCK Acclaimed guitarist Peter Sprague grew up on The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Cream. Later in life, he played and worshipped all things jazz. The new album, “Dream Walkin’,” combines those influences, tinged with a Latin flavor. Sprague, who lives in Encinitas, recorded the album with longtime collaborator Leonard Patton. “It’s something we’ve been toying with for a while — playing the music we grew up with, but with a very jazz influence,” Sprague said of the album, which has nine covers and two original songs. “It was decided we should document this direction in the studio.” Sprague, 59, has played with an array of jazz greats, from Al Jarreau to Sergio Mendes. He’s also racked up a number of awards, including the San Diego Music Awards naming him Best Jazz Artist in 2004 and 2007. He met Patton at one of his shows in 1991, and they played in a larger band together. Eventually, they went ahead as a duo, allowing for more improvisation. “Now that it’s me and him, you don’t have to tell a whole band if you want to improvise on a section and move to a new place,” Sprague said. During live shows, Sprague plays a guitar equipped with a synth and looper, while Patton sings and plays cajon, a percussion instrument. Besides performing on his own albums, Sprague has played on numerous other records. But two decades ago, he feared he would have to put down the guitar altogether. His hands hurt after playing long stretches. It turned out to be arthritis. “For a while, it was looking like, in my
own mind, I wouldn’t be able to play for that much longer,” Sprague said. Thankfully, he found an arthritis medication that makes the disease manageable. Still, he has to be careful not to overdo it. He always had an interest in recording, producing and composing, and the arthritis scare prompted him to assemble his own recording studio called Spragueland, a nod to Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland Studios. “It’s been really cool to do my own stuff and help people with their projects,” said Sprague, who has produced many albums at his studio. And he’s currently composing orchestra music, which he said demands carefully mapping out each part of the music. By comparison, he added, jazz and rock ’n’ roll are much more freewheeling. “There are multiple movements — you have to sketch out what’s next,” Sprague said of orchestra music. “And you have to really be able to see over the hill to know where you’re going.” Before he hits the studio, his mornings typically begin with a surf session. Indeed, before this interview began, he pedaled up to his house on a bike outfitted with a surfboard rack, fresh from surfing a strong southwest swell at Beacon’s Beach. Sprague grew up in Del Mar, surrounded by music and surfing. When he was a young teenager, The Beatles’ album “Revolver” was the soundtrack for a wave-filled summer at La Jolla Shores. Hendrix blasted while he shaped surfboards. But a musical sea change was in the air. His dad was always listening to Miles Davis and Benny Carter. Initially, he found his parents’ record collection too tame, but jazz later struck him. Hard. He learned jazz theory and structure. And in the early
Guitar icon Peter Sprague has a new album, “Dream Walkin’,” that blends rock and jazz with Latin influence. He says he doesn’t feel as though he’s settled into a sound — he’s still evolving. Courtesy photo 1970s, he formed a band called The Minor Jazz Quintet at San Dieguito High School (now San Dieguito Academy) with fellow aficionados. Sprague said some musicians “come out of the gate” with an original sound. For him, realizing an original style was a longer path. “A huge part of the ride for me was being an apprentice, and then slowly doing my own thing,” he said. Sprague added he doesn’t feel as though he’s settled into a sound — he’s still evolving. Music runs in the family. For instance, he has memories of his mom playing a
mean version of “St. Louis Blues,” a jazz and blues staple, on piano. Other times, his dad would jam out on the bongos while listening to Miles Davis. Sprague is fluent in a variety of music styles. Yet, he added, emotion and substance always come before technical prowess. “I have a lot of technique, but still paramount and at the forefront for me, it’s not to be showy and not to play fast just to play fast,” he said.

Del Mar Art Center hosts ‘Season III’ reception Aug. 8 Ronald McDonald’s recent appearance at the Carmel Valley Library included magic and puppetry. Photo by Karen Billing
Ronald McDonald visits CV Library program Ronald McDonald visited the Carmel Valley Library on July 31 to put on a fun and educational show for kids. The show included magic and puppetry as the clown shared his excitement for reading and introduced kids to the concept of “Book Time,” the time set aside each day just to read. “Books are our friends because they can teach us anything in the world that we want to know. Books are also our friends because they’re full of cool adventures,” the clown told a room full of children. “All we need to do to have an adventure is to open up the cover of a good story.” The kids happily played along as McDonald showed how they could read a book with excitement, all the kids lending sound effects to his storytelling. The show was part of the library’s summer reading program, which draws to a close this month. The remaining event for youngsters is an arts and crafts activity at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 15 where children can make a rainbow rain stick. While registration is not required, there is a 40 participant limit, and the craft is first-come, first-served. The summer reading program concludes with an End of Summer Teen Party for ages 10 through 18 at 4 p.m. Aug. 19. The party will be an ice cream social with a raffle drawing. — Karen Billing

BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a quiet Monday in Maine, but Vonda Shepard has her mind on a gig halfway across the country — even though she’s currently on vacation. “I’m really excited for it,” she said of her upcoming performance Aug. 13 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, which doubles as the release show for her latest album, the curiously titled “Rookie.” “The name of the album is kind of a joke for myself,” said Shepard with a laugh. “There’s a song on the album also called ‘Rookie,’ and the lyrics are, ‘I’m not a rookie.’” In fact, Shepard has been pursuing her music craft for multiple decades. She first skyrocketed to fame in the 1990s, thanks to her involvement with the hit show “Ally McBeal,” for which she was a large part of the drama’s soundtrack, writing the hit single “Searchin’ My Soul” and appearing on screen as well. However, “Ally McBeal” was just a blip on Shepard’s radar, as she’s been writing and recording since the late ’80s. (She first appeared on the charts in 1987 for the hit song she recorded with Dan Hill, “Can’t We Try.”) Now an independent artist, Shepard took five long years to write “Rookie,” during some of which she admits she had writer’s block. Used to bouncing ideas off a ’70s-era boom box, Shepard pivoted for “Rookie” and upgraded her technology. “The first two or three years of the process, I was struggling. Then, I bought an instrument called a Zoom” — which allowed Shepard to brainstorm with ease. “That little thing saved me.” Despite her struggles, Shepard hasn’t wavered in her passion for Singer-songwriter Vonda Shepard, top, will crafting songs. “I find writing the most gratify- perform at the Belly Up Tavern on Aug. 13, which ing stage of the entire album pro- doubles as the release show for her latest album, cess,” she said, adding that it’s also “Rookie,” above. Courtesy photos “by far the hardest. But once you nail it and get the song … That’s a pretty exciting thing to do in life.” The power of the internet also did its part in bringing “Rookie” to life. “When I set out to make the album, there weren’t a lot of options out there for an artist like me,” Shepard conceded, the days of a thriving music industry in the rearview mirror. “I had two choices: pay for the production myself or try a Kickstarter. So we went with the Kickstarter.” Originally preparing to raise only $2,000 from the crowd-sourcing website, Shepard and her producer/husband, Mitchell Froom, raised a collective $36,000. “The end result was that we could make a very high-quality record with the exact mixer I wanted,” said Shepard. “The whole process was very intense. I learned a lot about social media doing it, and I’m really thrilled. The album comes from a great place because we just cut loose and let it rip. Thanks to Kickstarter, we had the freedom to do what we wanted.” Next comes touring her new work, the first leg of which takes her to Solana Beach and the Belly Up. While Shepard, who lives in Los Angeles, would normally make a night out of it and spend time in North County — this upcoming gig marks her third appearance — she instead has to drive up to Los Angeles to fly to her next show in San Francisco the next evening. However, all of the travel is just the icing on the cake now that “Rookie” is finally complete. “I did write a few extra tunes, and if I’m smart I’ll continue working on them now while I’m still in that inspired phase,” teased Shepard about a possible next album. “The Kickstarter thing was pretty exciting too, so I may continue with that as well.” Catch Vonda Shepard at the Belly Up on Aug. 13. Doors open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 8. For more information, visit bellyup.com.

SB auto shop takes on partner as it continues giving ‘honest, good services’ • Owner Michael Gilmore of California Import Auto marks 35th year in auto repair business BY KRISTINA HOUCK Michael Gilmore has been in business in Solana Beach longer than the coastal community has been a city. By the time the city incorporated in 1986, Gilmore’s first auto shop had already been open for six years. In August 1980, Gilmore opened California Import Auto on Highway 101. From Audi to Volkswagen, the auto repair shop specializes in foreign models, but also services domestic vehicles. “Solana Beach is just a nice folksy little neighborhood that just seemed to have nice people,â€? Gilmore said. “I was looking around for a place to open a shop. This place just had a good vibe.â€? With business booming in Solana Beach, Gilmore, who lives in University City, opened his second shop on Cedros Avenue about 11 years ago. North Coast Alignment specializes in alignment and motor sports. Last year, the Rotary Club of Del Mar recognized the business during its inaugural 4-Way Ethical Business Award ceremony at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Solana Beach businessman Alan “Mittâ€? Mittleman has been a dedicated customer of California Import Auto and North Coast Alignment for a decade. With appreciation of the business, he came on board as a partner at the start of July. “We became more than just clients, we became friends over the years,â€? said Mittleman, a Solana Beach resident for more than 20 years. “I loved being a customer — most of the customers here do. It just attracted me to want to be a part of it.â€? Although this is Mittleman’s first time in the automotive industry, he is not new to the business world. He owned San Diego-based Custom Logos for 20 years. Still, he admitted there’s a learning curve. “I’m learning, but I’ve known the staff for years,â€? he said. “Everybody is treating me great and teaching me a lot of things.â€? He couldn’t have a better teacher than Gilmore, who has been in the industry for more than four decades. Originally from Seattle, Gilmore opened his first shop in Alaska, where he started as a welder. Gilmore later had a shop in his hometown of Seattle before relocating to San Diego in 1980. “I enjoy meeting the people and getting to know them,â€? said Gilmore, who has a third shop called Align-Tech in Escondido. “It can be a tough industry. It’s nice to be able to provide honest, good services.â€?
NO WO PEN
The Solana Beach shops are about 3,000 square feet each. When Gilmore first opened California Import Auto, it was just him and one other person working on cars. “We were just two guys doing everything for years,� he recalled. Today, the shops have a combined staff of close to 20. As new business partners, the pair hope to expand marketing efforts and increase sales so that the company has another 35 years. “This is a hard business. There’s so many shops going in and out of business,� said Gilmore, reflecting on the company’s 35th anniversary. “It’s something you have to work at every day.� Added Mittleman, “It’s really cool to be associated with a business that’s been in Solana Beach for 35 years. “It’s already a great Michael Gilmore and Alan “Mitt� Mittleman.

Le Dimora is coming to the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, opening a third location after many successful years in Rancho Santa Fe’s Del Rayo Plaza and Santaluz. Le Dimora offers a vast assortment of recognizable furniture brands, as well as home accessories, linens, artwork, lighting, outdoor furnishings and gifts. “We are excited to welcome Le Dimora as we round out our tenant list,” said Dan Curran, vice president for Coast Income Properties. “We believe it is important to provide a place that fulfills the community’s needs, and Le Dimora will be a wonderful addition to The Village.” Co-owners and local residents Maria Barry and Cindy Cerenzie began collaborating on interior design projects nine years ago and their work quickly outgrew their homes. The first Le Dimora was opened in Santaluz and became a local hit, leading to the second expanded location in Rancho Santa Fe. With the company’s growing success, the co-owners are looking forward to bringing their passion, skill and talented team to the third location in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community. Barry and Cerenzie, encouraged by the architecture and look of The Village, were inspired to pursue the plaza as the location and inspiration behind the new endeavor. “The Village is beautifully designed, and as soon as we saw the space, we knew that it was exactly where we wanted to be,” said Cerenzie. “We are excited to introduce the community to our team and help each client’s vision for the perfect home come to life.” The new, 10,000-square-foot location will not only expand Le Dimora’s current offerings, but will also introduce new and fresh contemporary selections, all while keeping true to Southern California style. The team of friendly and knowledgeable interior designers will offer customers a relaxed and uplifting experience throughout the entire process of designing, purchasing and furnishing a home or commercial space. The stunning showroom will carry a variety of home goods and gifts, ranging from furniture and lighting fixtures to bedding and room accessories. Le Dimora plans to unveil the new showroom in January 2016. For additional updates and to follow the progress, visit ledimora.com. The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is located between Interstate 5 and State Route 56 at Old Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road, across the street from Canyon Crest Academy and near Cathedral Catholic High School. —Karen Billing

Lisa Nava and Maria Al-Shamma helped organize blood drives starting in 2012 for Kira Nunez, right, who is now in remission. The next drive will be Aug. 8 behind Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant in Encinitas. Courtesy photo
Organizers keep blood donations flowing after CCA girl’s remission; blood drive to be held Aug. 8 BY KRISTINA HOUCK If one pint of blood can save up to three lives, Kira Nunez’s story has helped save hundreds. When the Canyon Crest Academy student was diagnosed with leukemia in the summer of 2012, family friends launched a blood drive in her honor. Three years later, the bi-monthly blood drive is still ongoing. Organizers hope to mark a major milestone in their efforts and reach 500 pints of blood during the next drive on Aug. 8 in Encinitas. “So many people have stepped up,” said Jill Nunez, Kira’s mother. “It is so overwhelming. It tells you a lot about your community.” In July 2012, Kira was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At the time, she was 13 years old. Family, friends and neighbors rallied around the Nunez family. “Our world imploded,” Nunez recalled. “Honestly, much of that time is a blur of fear and pain, during which an amazing group of women mobilized an entire community to help us with meals and roundthe-clock care for our daughter and our family.” By August, two of Nunez’s closest friends, Maria Al-Shamma and Lisa Nava, organized a blood drive for the Kaiser Permanente Blood Donor Center at 6511 Mission Gorge Road in San Diego. Located near Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center, the center helps meet the needs of the hospital, which is where Kira was treated. “Usually folks who set up an initial blood drive for a patient may do a few, and once their loved one is better, they might discontinue the effort,” said Lillian Gonzalez, blood donor recruitment coordinator for the Kaiser Permanente Blood Donor Center. “Jill, Lisa and Maria have continued the tra-
dition to help us provide blood for anyone.” For more than two years, Kira underwent dozens of blood transfusions and multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Now 16 years old, she is in remission, yet the blood drive continues with new collections every eight to 10 weeks. “She needed dozens of pints of blood in that first year,” Nunez said. “That’s where it started. People wanted to donate in her name.” The first blood drive took place at the Leo Mullen Sports Park, with another later at Park Dale Lane Elementary School. The blood drive has been held in the parking lot of Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant ever since. To date, the bi-monthly blood drive has collected 433 pints of blood. Organizers expect to surpass 450 pints at the next drive on Aug. 8, and through donations and pledges, hope to reach 500 pints. “Seeing our whole community step up every time is a beautiful thing,” said AlShamma. “The community cares and comes together.” Kira, who will start her junior year at Canyon Crest Academy in the fall, often attends the blood drives. She collects toys, book and arts and crafts supplies, which she assembles into “Kira’s Kits,” gift bags for the kids in the pediatric ward of Kaiser Permanente San Diego Medical Center. Marking a major milestone, the next blood drive and celebration event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 8 behind Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant at 1486 Encinitas Blvd. To make an appointment, contact Al-Shamma at 760-715-1676 or maria.mcgee88@gmail.com. Walk-ins are also accepted. “Spend an hour of your time and save someone’s life,” Nunez said. “It’s just a really great feeling.”

Next stop, Coney Island exhibit at San Diego Museum of Art FROM SDMA REPORTS The lure that Brooklyn’s Coney Island has exerted on the American imagination for more than a century is explored in a summer exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art titled, “Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland, 1861-2008.” Featured through Oct. 11, “Coney Island” is composed of more than 150 objects, including celebrated icons of American art and rarely seen works from public and private collections. Examining Coney Island’s evolution from glamorous beach playground to entertainment mecca (and the decay and neglect that followed), the works illuminate the contrasts between this once-great place and the artifacts that remain. Several activities will accompany the run, including Film in the Garden (Aug. 10) and more. “We are thrilled to be offering our visitors the chance to see an iconic American landmark from a new perspective,” said Roxana Velásquez, the art museum’s Maruja Baldwin executive director. “There are traces of Coney Island throughout San Diego in places such as Belmont Park and in Balboa Park’s history as a fairground, so it’s momentous to have the opportunity to see the artistic impact of a destination with such a rich past.” An extraordinary array of artists including William Merritt Chase, John Henry Twachtman, Reginald Marsh, Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Frank Stella and Red Grooms have works in the exhibit with a mix of drawings, prints, paintings, photographs, film clips, and artifacts like carousel animals. An illustrated companion exhibit catalog has been co-published by the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Art and the Yale University Press. It includes the first sustained visual analysis of great works about Coney Island by curator Robin Jaffe Frank, and essays by other cultural historians. San Diego Museum of Art is at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday (closed Wednesday); noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission: $4.50-$12. (619) 232-7931. sdmart.org

Trains and boats and planes — food tips for summer traveling BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Ahh, summer, ’tis the season for road trips with the family or globetrotting to exotic or foreign lands to explore, rejuvenate, visit family, sightsee or conduct business. Even the most relaxing vacation can take its toll, zapping energy, tinkering with sleep patterns and disrupting the gut with different drinking water and diets. Here are some trip tips to give you a feeling of wellbeing during the journey and upon your return. One for the Road Whether traveling by car, train or bus, bring along an arsenal of health-protective portable snacks to boost stamina, alertness and immunity. Potassium-rich bananas, refreshing vitamin C stores like easy-to-peel mandarin oranges, blueberries or papaya slices, proteinpacked granola bars and trail mixes, iron-rife raisins, along with high-fiber antioxidant dried apricots, dates and figs will keep you regular while on the road, ward off colds and flu, and maintain fluid balance and energy levels. Don’t forget a good supply of quality water (in rubber-sheathed glass bottles) until you can replenish. This should sustain you through the first leg of the trip. I’m Sneezing on a Jet Plane Airplanes are giant hermetically sealed Petri dishes in the sky, recirculating contaminated air for hours. Before the sojourn, jack up your immune system with probiotic warriors both sweet (yogurts and kefirs), and savory (sauerkraut and kimchi) to keep the gut and intestinal tract filled with friendly flora to fend off harmful bacteria. Other immune boosters are oats, barley, mushrooms (particularly shiitake, maitake and reishi), vitamin C-packed leafy greens, guavas, kiwis, broccoli, berries, citrus and tomatoes, green and black teas, and, of course, raw garlic, which might also ward off the occasional vampire. For the plane ride, pack along some potent portables (orange slices, shredded kale or spinach leaves, red pepper strips, purple grapes, peaches and nectarines), and keep well hydrated. (Booze doesn’t count.) Zoned Out
When traveling across time zones, your internal clock goes cuckoo, including circadian sleep patterns, along with eating habits. Harvard researchers have suggested adjusting meal times to keep in sync with time zone changes to put jet lag on the skids. Soporific foods will especially help reset body clocks by giving travelers some solid ZZZs. Hit the hay with hummus, a Mediterranean chickpea dip containing a load of tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to make melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone. Calming carbs contribute to serious shut-eye: jasmine rice, mashed potatoes, oatmeal and pretzels. A bedtime banana is a perfect package with muscle-relaxing magnesium, mellowing melatonin and serotonin. The best liquid lullaby is a soothing cup of chamomile tea to provide a restful night by boosting the body’s glycine, a natural sedative to relax tense nerves and muscles so you’ll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the a.m. And while you might need a java jolt in the morning, try to refrain from caffeine in the afternoon, as this will disrupt nighttime sleep. Homeward Bound Returning from vacation is usually an emotional letdown accompanied by extreme fatigue. Hearty breakfasts, whether wholegrain toast with a veggie omelet, a Greek yogurt parfait, or a bowl of oatmeal with almond milk and fresh berries, are a sure-fire way to revive energy, alertness and concentration, along with sloughing off those extra vacation pounds by curbing cravings and overeating throughout the day. A handful of Omega-3 rich nuts, especially raw, unsalted almonds, pecans, Brazils and filberts, will also help cure post-travel lethargy. Remedies to pack in your travel first-aid kit: candied ginger and homeopathic charcoal capsules (to clear out food poisoning bacteria, such as salmonella). Also, take these nutty morsels on the road or enjoy at home to ratchet up energy and fight fatigue. Happy trails!

Jeep Vehicle Hacked, Unwittingly Driven Into Ditch Imagine this. You’re driving on I-5 when all of a sudden your gas pedal is no longer responsive. Your wheel goes dead. You frantically check the gas meter – all looks ďŹ ne. What just happened? A hacker turned off your vehicle. This isn’t a tale from Hollywood. In fact, it’s exactly what happened when a cybersecurity group of researchers used the internet to hack into a Jeep Cherokee’s computer system. Of course, the radio, equipped with the entertainment system
UConnect, had all the bells and whistles a consumer could want‌ including WiFi and internet. And it was precisely those features that allowed hackers to get into the vehicle’s computer and command its steering, brakes and the engine. That’s an incredibly scary thought in this day and age as cyberattacks are nearly rampant. We’ve all heard of the security breaches at stores like Home Depot and Target; now, hackers can even take over a citizen’s car if they want to. The proverbial doors are wide open. The story original debuted at Wired magazine (7/21/2015). Among other things, researchers disabled the brakes of the Jeep Cherokee in question, driven by one of the technology reporters. The vehicle careened into a ditch as a result. Fortunately, the hack was controlled and no one was injured. Researchers didn’t stop there. They toyed with the vehicle’s radio, steering, horn and seat belt. They disabled the brakes. And

what’s more, everything was done on the y, through the internet. Fiat Chrysler issued a software patch as soon as the issue became public. As a result of the potential threat, the manufacturer issued a recall for 1.4 million vehicles to address the bug. Fiat Chrysler owners don’t have to take in their vehicles for the patch; instead they will receive a USB drive with a software update they can do themselves right from the dash of their vehicle thanks in part to – that’s right – the internet. In a reassuring twist, the researchers did note that the hack was certainly not easy to perform. It took one year of sophisticated reprogramming including multiple attempts to actually hack the vehicle. So, the good news is that if you’re driving an affected Jeep according to the list below, you’re more than likely safe – for now. Of course, it’s a good idea to get your patch right away.

‘Brunch with the Artisans’ Tuareg artisan and community leader Elhadji Mohamed Kaumama and his son Ismael of Niger visited Fair Trade Décor in Del Mar on July 31 as part of a national tour. The event featured a demonstration and sale of handcrafted silver Tuareg jewelry. The Tuareg trunk show concluded with a performance of African drumming and dancing by the WorldBeat Centre of San Diego. The Kaumama Family Collective has been making jewelry in the Agadez, Niger, area for 25 generations. They are known for their high quality jewelry — using 99.99 percent pure fine silver, ebony and semiprecious stones. Each piece is hand-hammered using simple tools and beautifully engraved with the symbolism and motifs of generations. The Tuareg believe that jewelers have special powers because of their handling of fire in the making of the jewelry. Photos on this page are from a private event, titled “Brunch with the Artisans,” held earlier in the day July 31 by Fair Trade Décor at Hotel Indigo in Del Mar. Fair Trade Décor is located at 1412 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar. Photos by McKenzie Images. For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

With 1,000 Word War II veterans dying each day, it is more important than ever. We hope everyone will come out to support this great cause.” The Los Angeles-based comedy troupe “Veterans of Comedy” will headline the event. Hundreds are expected to be in attendance, including active duty military and World War II veterans who have flown on Honor Flight, business and community leaders, elected officials and special VIP guests. The event will include social hour, dinner, live auction and silent auction. Music will be provided by Indian Joe and the Chiefs. The national anthem will be sung by recording artist Steve Ybarra. Steve Lewandowski, a former Navy officer, will serve as master of ceremonies. The veterans’ trips are paid for through donations and costs approximately $2,000 for the three-day experience. Comedy for a Cause tickets are $100 per person and must be purchased in advance at honorflightsandiego.org Click on “events.”

Carlos Gutierrez of Coldwell Banker Previews International now hosts a real estate radio show on AM 1170 KCBQ Tuesday nights at 7 p.m.
Powerhouse Real Estate Agent Carlos Gutierrez selected to host radio show Powerhouse REALTOR Carlos Gutierrez of Coldwell Banker Previews International has been selected to host his own real estate radio show on AM 1170 KCBQ Tuesday nights from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. He hosts the show live on the radio, sharing with listeners the sharpest tips and resources to help them make the best educated financial decisions regarding their home or investment properties. Listeners also get cutting edge updates on the market, trends and what to do to help them save and make money. Craig Sewing, a local talk show host on AM 1170 KCBQ, had a show become available on Tuesday night and decided to give one of San Diego’s top real estate agents a chance. Gutierrez, who had worked in radio for 12 years before becoming a REALTOR, jumped at the opportunity to host his own show and filled the slot. “I’m extremely excited and humbled to be able to share news that will help my friends, fellow San Diegans and clients,” said Gutierrez. He put his assistant, David Frerker, in charge of producing the show every week. Having his own radio show allows Gutierrez to go more in depth with the real estate advice he gives. “I take pride in being especially direct with buyers and sellers when helping them choose the best direction to take with each of their individual situations, needs and desires. I believe in being honest,” said Gutierrez. “Maybe what I say isn’t what they
want to hear. However, they hired me for a reason. To tell them the truth.” Although he has a pro’s radio voice and projects like he’s being doing this his whole life, Gutierrez insists he’s still learning about the radio industry and is taking suggestions and tips from some of the top names in the business. “I promise to air unique shows with different topics and expert guest speakers each week. Each guest I bring on the air is exceedingly talented in his or her field,” he added. Gutierrez wastes no time on his shows, getting straight to the meat of each topic. A few of the main subjects the show has covered are the drought, the Chargers, real estate values, effects of millennials, baby boomers, elder abuse, etc. Gutierrez began his career as a real estate consultant in 2005. With an extensive background in marketing and real estate, he delivers an unmatched level of experience, enthusiasm and loyalty to each and every client. When asked whether Carlos Gutierrez the radio talent is different from Carlos Gutierrez the REALTOR, he said, “What you see is what you get. Real, reliable, results.” Carlos Gutierrez can be reached at 858-864-8741 or carlos@carlosgsellssandiego. com. David Frerker can be reached at 858-337-0160 or davidsdsu@gmail.com.
