‘Adventures in Wonderland’

CV burglary warning issued by police BY KAREN BILLING Residential burglaries are up in Carmel Valley, according to Officer Tracey Williams of the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division. At the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s Sept. 25 meeting, Williams warned the board that a new daytime burglary series is starting to pop up and for residents to be on alert. Williams said the suspect is described as a younger white male in a new car. He parks in the neighborhood and then walks up to a home and rings the doorbell. When no one answers, the suspect goes around to the back, smashes a window, enters the home and takes what he wants. “It is important that people pay attention in the neighborhood. Anyone who stays home during the day, if you hear glass breaking, call us. It could be nothing or it could be your neighbors’ home is being broken into,” Williams said. “We all have to be vigilant.” Williams said this information was posted on Next-

door.com, a private social network for neighborhoods. People can sign up by entering their address to connect with their neighborhood — the police department uses the network frequently to share information. Board member Christian Clews noted that there has also been a rash of burglaries in the parking lot owned by the Clews family at the entrance to the Carmel Valley Restoration and Enhancement Project trail, on Carmel Country Road. Cars are being broken into while their owners are biking, walking or running on the popular trail. Williams said that the police frequently visit this lot as well as other hot spots such as the Del Mar Highlands Town Center parking lot to show visibility — but as soon as they leave, thieves will take advantage of people who have left expensive items such as purses, laptops and iPhones in plain sight on the front seats of their vehicles. He said last week a woman left an $8,000 purse on the front See BURGLARY, page 20

SB Council OKs modified cell tower structure on top of local pharmacy BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to increase wireless coverage for AT&T customers, the Solana Beach City Council on Sept. 24 approved a cell tower structure on top of a local pharmacy — but not at the cost of the community’s character. Council members approved a modified version of the project, cutting the total height by two feet. “Obviously, we want to have good coverage for our community,” said Councilman Mike Nichols, who noted that, as an AT&T customer, he has experienced dropped calls in the area. “But this is our only opportunity to have any input on this,” he added. “Once a facility has been established, by federal law, we have no ability to

talk about the aesthetics on it whatsoever. So this is a precedent-setting situation.” Located at CVS at 305 S. Highway 101, the structure will feature a 22-foot-long-by- 20-foot-wide antenna enclosure, containing 12 antennas, 24 remote radio units and four surge protectors. As originally proposed, the structure would have stood 10 to 13 feet high as measured from the top of the roof, with a total height of 35 feet above the existing grade and with the highest point of the antennas at 34.6 feet above the existing grade. With the council’s vote, the height of the structure and antennas was reduced by two feet. “Our staff has put in a great deal of work into this project in trying to

fit it into the community character in Solana Beach, find the right location, and still do what we can to achieve our coverage objectives,” said John Osborne, director of external affairs at AT&T, before the council’s vote. He noted the proposed structure would cost roughly $500,000. “If we didn’t need it, we wouldn’t be doing it,” Osborne said. “We’re trying to fill a coverage gap, and we’re trying to address that in a way that our customers will be able to use the service in their home, in their car and wherever they are. … The only way that we can provide the best coverage for your residents and for the people who pass through Solana Beach is if See TOWER, page 20

Reserve sheriff’s deputy fired after berating DM park ranger BY PAULINE REPARD Special to the Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun A San Diego County sheriff’s reserve deputy was fired for making rude, abusive remarks to a Del Mar city park ranger caught on camera when he was about to get a traffic ticket. The volunteer deputy used expletives as he challenged the ranger’s authority to cite him on a public street for talking on a cellphone while driving. Scott Masters said he was terminated four months later, after serving 15 years as a reserve. The city released a copy of Ranger Adam Chase’s body camera video to news media under a state public records law and suspended its use of the camera, a Del Mar official said in a statement issued Sept. 27. “The City is currently reviewing the body camera program and procedures for all of its applications,” Andrew Potter, administrative services director for the city, said in the statement. He said the camera will be discontinued during the review. In a separate statement, Potter said the reserve deputy “was visibly frustrated, rude and inappropriately challenged the ranger’s authority” in the March 10 encounter. He called the behavior unacceptable and highlighted the need for improved relations between the city and Sheriff’s Department. A sheriff’s spokeswoman did not respond to U-T San Diego emails for comment. Masters said in an interSee RANGER, page 20

Armenian church wins approval for church off El Camino Real BY KAREN BILLING In a split 6-4 vote, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board recommended final approval of the St. John Garabed Armenian Church, planned for El Camino Real (near San Dieguito Rd., just north of Carmel Valley and west of Fairbanks Ranch). More than 50 members of the church came to show support for their project, all dressed in white, and they erupted into cheers when the positive vote came down, just after 10 p.m. on the board’s packed agenda. City staff has recommended approval of the church and it will go before the city planning commission for a decision on Oct. 30. Plans for the 13.4-acre property include a 350-seat church in the traditional Armenian architectural style with an emphasis on height, stone materials and capped by a pointed dome. The entire church campus includes a youth recreation center, a 500-seat multi-purpose hall and a cultural/educational building with classrooms for religious instruction such as Sunday School. The church is proposing

Plans for St. John Garabed Armenian Church on El Camino Real were approved by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. to build on only 4.23 acres of the site, leaving the rest of the land to be preserved. The property borders sensitive, protected lands in the city’s Multiple Species Conservation Program as well as the Gonzales Canyon. All of the necessary wildlife agencies have signed off on the project. Board member Christian Clews said he is “pretty familiar with the dirt,” having grown up in the area and ridden the land on horseback since the 1970s. He was strongly in favor of the church, which he feels will enhance the area and is an improvement of past developments that have been proposed there. He liked that the church is restricting development to the mesa top and staying out of the more sensitive habitats. “The area they’re disturbing has never been a sensitive land issue; they’re not encroaching into (the sensitive area),” Clews said. “And they are restoring 1.6 acres of wetland, fixing what had been disturbed.” Board member Brian Brady echoed Clews’ endorsement. “The architecture is beautiful and I think they’ve done an impressive job of respecting the sensitive habitat and focusing the development to the most logical area,” he said.

The four votes against the project were board members Anne Harvey, Nancy Novak, Jonathan Tedesco and Debbie Lokanc. One of the biggest areas of concern for the dissenting board members was the height and mass of the church in that area of the San Dieguito River Park. The height of the church is 85 feet to the top of the dome and 93 feet to the top of the cross. The three accompanying buildings are all 30 to 40 feet tall. The land is zoned agricultural, and included in the zoning is an allowance to increase building heights when setbacks are increased, which the developer has done. “It just seems oversized for the area,” said Tedesco. “I think it’s beautiful … It’s unfortunate you couldn’t come up with something that was more in harmony with the serenity of the surrounding area and other land uses.” Harvey, a longtime Carmel Valley resident like Clews, has fought hard over the years to preserve valuable open space in the area. “It’s really hard to look

at mass on the land when it’s supposed to be a break in development. That land was supposed to be relief from urbanization and instead it’s filling up with large, essentially institutional uses,” Harvey said. St. John Garabed members believe their intent is to complement the river valley and to be good stewards of the open space, preserving everything that makes Carmel Valley a great place to live, said spokesman Harry Krikorian. The project’s goals are not only to build a place of worship for a congregation of 1,000, but also to preserve sensitive biological and scenic corridors. “We’ve worked very hard to achieve this, with 9.18 acres preserved and restored,” said Kathi Riser, a senior land use consultant with The Atlantis Group. Armenians first came to San Diego in 1920 and many of them now live in the Carmel Valley area. St. John Garabed purchased the property in 2008 with the hope of fulfilling a dream for a new church campus—the members have outgrown their North Park

facility, which they have inhabited since 1977. Plans for the Carmel Valley church were submitted in 2011, and Krikorian said they have encountered “unfathomable delays.” They finally completed their environmental impact report in September. “This project means a great deal to the Armenian community of San Diego,” Krikorian said. “After six years, we’re ready to realize our dream.” One hurdle was the access driveway. Initially, the driveway was located at the property’s mid-point, but the church could not work out a deal with the neighboring Evangelican Formosan Church to provide access to the church through their site. As a result the driveway is on the bottom of the slope, a right-in-right-outonly access point on El Camino Real. Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White’s issue with the project was the encroachment into their setbacks. He said he doesn’t like to see variances when a See CHURCH, page 20

SB now taking applications for annual grant program BY KRISTINA HOUCK The city of Solana Beach is now accepting applications for its annual Community Grant Program, which provides funding to nonprofit or recognized community-based organizations serving Solana Beach and its residents. After the council authorized the program Sept. 24 for the 2014-15 fiscal year, the application period opened Oct. 1. Coast Waste Management and EDCO Waste and Recycling Services, the city’s two waste haulers, each contribute $5,000 to the program. The city previously provided an additional $5,000 to the program, but in June, the council voted unanimously to give an additional $10,000 in grants each year, increasing the program’s annual budget from $15,000 to $25,000. The city initially budgeted $25,000 for the program when it was established in 2004, but reduced its contribution during the downturn in the economy. The council’s June vote restored the program budget to what it was before the recession. Last year, 13 organizations requested $55,500 in assistance. In December 2013, council members, awarded a total of $15,000 in grants to the Community Resource Center, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, the St. James and St. Leo Medical and Dental Program, Del Sol Lions, Kids Korps USA, Casa de Amistad, La Colonia de Eden Gardens and BikeWalkSolana. Santa Fe Christian Schools matched the city’s funds,

providing an additional $15,000 in grants. Santa Fe Christian Schools has once again agreed to donate funds toward the program, said City Manager David Ott, but school officials have not yet specified how much. The deadline to submit applications is 5 p.m. Oct. 31. The council will review all eligible applications on Nov. 19. During that meeting, applicants will have an opportunity to make a presentation to council members. No more than two grant applications may be submitted per organization. A maximum of $5,000 will be awarded to any one program. Funds are available as one-time seed money to qualifying groups to augment community service programs. New programs or those that provide a unique aspect to existing programs are preferred. Grants must be used between Jan. 1, 2015 and Oct. 31, 2015, although an exception can be made with proof of good cause. Besides the application, organizations must submit a nonprofit certificate, W-9 form, budgets and financial statements. Awards will be granted during the Dec. 10 council meeting. Applications can be turned in at City Hall, 635 S. Highway 101, or emailed to dking@cosb.org and copied to testell@cosb.org. For information, visit www.ci.solanabeach.ca.us or call 858-720-2477.

Bicyclists and motorists who violate traffic laws are top concern raised at ‘Coffee With the Sheriff’ event in Del Mar BY KRISTINA HOUCK More than a dozen Del Mar residents gathered Sept. 23 at Powerhouse Community Center to share their concerns with sheriff’s Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar and a panel of other officers during Coffee With the Sheriff, an hourlong question-andanswer session. Although several topics were addressed — from body cameras for officers to red-light tickets for drivers — community members were mainly concerned about bicyclists and motorists who violate traffic laws. Attendees urged police to better enforce traffic laws, but because of limited resources, officers said they are doing the best they can. “I’d love to be able to put an echelon of deputies down to do the bicycle enforcement,” said sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Tomaiko. “I’d love to be able to put cars spaced out at the stop signs and red lights to catch the bicycle violators — I really would. With that being said, we can

address it the best we possibly can with what we have to work with.” One resident asked police to park patrol cars strategically so cyclists would see them and stop at traffic signals and stop signs. To do that, Adams-Hydar said the station would need to use traffic officers from Encinitas and Solana Beach. All the units, including Del Mar’s traffic officer, would then need to do the same for Encinitas and Solana Beach. “We would do it in each city, so across the board it would be very equitable,” Adams-Hydar said. “It would have the same punch, no matter what, in each city, and it would send a message throughout the coast.” Another resident encouraged officers to issue more citations to cyclists. “We will be more than happy to remind them it’s their responsibility to stop,” Tomaiko said. After hearing complaints about speeding mo-

torists, Adams-Hydar said she could switch up the schedule for Del Mar’s traffic deputy, but that might result in no one patrolling the city streets at other peak times. Now, at the request of city officials, the city’s only traffic officer surveys the streets Wednesday through Saturday when bars close and intoxicated people could get behind the wheel, she said. “I don’t have a traffic deputy during the morning hours to enforce that,” Adams-Hydar said. “I have a patrol deputy, but he’s going to radio calls, disturbances and covering his partner in Solana Beach.” Del Mar has contracted with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement services since its inception. The city spends about $1.78 million a year on its contract with the department, which includes one 24/7 patrol deputy, a full-time traffic deputy, a full-time detective and other support services.

CV board hears update on Corallina mixed-use project Electric charging stations coming to Ocean Air Park BY KAREN BILLING Developers for the Corallina mixed-use project in Pacific Highlands Ranch received support for the concept Sept. 25 at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting. The Carmel Valley Road project, which comprises 30,000 square feet of commercial property, 83 townhomes, 10 flats and 18 affordable housing units, has been before the board several times and is re-submitting to the city for a rezone and planning development permit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We listened to the comments and concerns of the planning board and have refined the project,â&#x20AC;? said Tara Lake of Latitude 33, Corallinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering and planning firm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have kept the things you liked and refined the things you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so crazy about.â&#x20AC;? Corallina is next to Pacific Highlands Ranch Village, now under construction across from Canyon Crest Academy. At the planning boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, the project has broken up the massing of buildings along Carmel Valley Road, created variation in the retaining wall along the road and added gates for residents. Along the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior Village Way, which will connect Corallina with Pacific Highlands Ranch Village, townhomes and penthouses are above retail spaces in buildings with contemporary architecture with a Mediterranean touch. At the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, Lake said the streetscape has been enhanced, with alcoves added to provide for cafĂŠ seating and more pedestrian activity. In the area of the townhomes, the layout was made less linear, with more building articulations, courtyards, decorative paving and landscaping.

BY KAREN BILLING Thanks to a $499,755 grant from the California Energy Commission, San Diego will be able to install 41 new electric-vehicle charging stations in a number of parks throughout the city to help support a growing EV-driving population and promote the use of clean, zeroemission vehicles. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted to approve new electric charging stations at Ocean Air Community Park at its Sept. 25 meeting. According to Jacques Chirazi, program manager for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clean Tech Initiative, San Diego has the highest number of electric vehicles per capita among California cities. The state has surpassed 100,000 plug-in sales, and San Diego is now home to 10,000-plus electric vehicles. Chirazi said they looked at a number of locations in the Carmel Valley area and narrowed them down to spots at Torrey Hills and Ocean Air Community parks. The charging stations, made by OpConnect, will take up the side of one Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) slot in front of the recreation center building and two other spots close to a SDG&E transformer on the other side of the building. Each driver pays for the energy received from the OpConnect station, and Chirazi said they will monitor the spaces to ensure that the EVs are actively charging. Chirazi said within the city there are 612 chargers in commercial areas, meant for quick â&#x20AC;&#x153;fill-ups,â&#x20AC;? and 18 DC fast-charge units that can charge a car in less than 30 minutes, the fastest EV charging rate available. Electric vehicles potentially need to be charged every 100 to 150 miles. Chirazi said if they want more people to drive electric cars, they know the infrastructure needs to increase and charging stations need to be easily accessible, in places where people can conveniently use them.

Rick Schmitt to host San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forum Oct. 9 at CCA Superintendent Rick Schmitt will host a San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forum on Thursday, Oct. 9, from 6:30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:30 p.m. in the Canyon Crest Academy Proscenium Theatre (Performing Arts area). Schmitt will be covering a variety of topics, including the 2014-15 key priorities, student achievement, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-year and gradual transition to the Common Core, budget, safety, high school selection and middle school choice, and updates on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prop AA modernization projects. Schmitt will also field questions from parents. Canyon Crest Academy is located at 5961 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, 92130.

CV planning board adds member, names new vice chair BY KAREN BILLING After Manjeet Ranu retired Sept. 11 from the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, the board had to fill his vice chairman seat as well as appoint a new Pacific Highlands Ranch District 11 representative. At the Sept. 25 meeting, the board voted Jonathon Tedesco, the PHR District 12 representative, into the vice chairmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat and appointed Shreya Sasaki to the vacant District 11 seat. Sasaki has a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in public health and works for Kaiser Permanenteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public affairs department promoting concepts of active living and walkability. She was involved on the design committee for the Solana Ranch Neighborhood Park and on the planning boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livability subcommittee, which is tasked with looking at potential park improvements and transportation-related livability and safety issues in Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Ranch.

Local students named to Deansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; List at Azusa Pacific University Solana Beach resident Connor Howe and Del Mar resident Riley Murphy made the academic Deansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; List at Azusa Pacific University. Howe and Murphy are honored for a spring semester 2014 academic standing of a 3.5 or better grade-point average. They are joined by 1,743 other students receiving the same honor.

Canyon Crest Academy’s PALs help students connect on campus BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having moved four times and attended eight different schools, Emmy Farese knows how it feels to be “the new kid.” That’s why the Canyon Crest Academy junior joined PALs, a group of student leaders that helps connect students on the Carmel Valley campus. “I didn’t want other kids to feel that way, (whether) they are from a different school or coming from one of the middle schools,” Emmy said. “I know how it feels, and it’s not fun.” Designed as a confidential peer support system, the PALs (Purposeful Action Listeners/ Leaders) program provides students with academic, social and emotional support and gives them an opportunity to talk with someone their own age. From academics to relationships, students can chat with PALs during lunchtime in the counseling office on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and after school in the counseling office every day. “I saw a need for more connection among the student body, and I wanted to be one of the people to help bridge that gap,” said junior Hannah Green. “I wanted to create a sense of warmth and better understanding.” “We strive to promote student connectivity and give back to our school,” added senior Lena Altaffer, one of three PALs who participated in the program during its inaugural year. With encouragement from former principal Brian Kohn, Spanish teacher Laura Krogh launched the program last year. As a former PAL in high school and a new-student orientation leader in college, Krogh was excited to bring the program to the CCA campus. “Our students are very academic, so sometimes that social-emotional piece gets pushed to the back burner, because these students are so overwhelmed with their workload,” said Krogh, who has taught Spanish at CCA for seven years and has worked in the San Dieguito Union High School District for 11 years. “Students need to feel connected. It’s not just about being in a classroom and learning. Kids need to feel accepted, and that feeling of needing to fit in is so important — elementary school, middle school, high school — it doesn’t go away.” Founded in 2004, CCA now has 2,000 students, Krogh said. She noted the school recently welcomed its largest freshman class — nearly 700 students. “It’s overwhelming to find your place on campus,” she said. PALs recently teamed with students from CCA’s Associated Student Body to welcome freshmen. During lunchtime every Thursday, PALs also host a picnic on the lawn so students can form new friendships. “I really wanted to become a PAL because I think there is definitely a special place for every student at CCA,” said Marisa, a junior at CCA. “There’s a unique niche for everyone. Sometimes it’s just hard to find it.” While Marisa has helped her fellow students find their niche, she’s also found her place

The 2014-15 PALs began their new program at Canyon Crest Academy this fall. Courtesy photo as a PAL. A dancer since she was 2, she spends much of her free time competing and performing off-campus. The PALs program has provided her an opportunity to get more involved in school. “My favorite part about being a PAL is how it is like a family,” she said. “Even after just a month or so, we’re now super-close. They’re like my brothers and sisters.” Headed by Krogh, the 90-minute class meets every day. At the start of the year, students undergo two weeks of intense training, where they learn about listening and confidentiality. There were 38 students — most seniors — in the inaugural PALs class. To create an even closer group, Krogh selected only 17 students for this year’s program. The application process for new PALs begins during spring semester. Students must obtain a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor and interview for the yearlong program, which begins in the fall. “It’s highly selective, because we want to make sure that these students are the cream of the crop and their intentions are right,” Krogh said. “These kids really care about kids getting connected on campus. They are loving their high school experience and they want others to feel the same way.” For information about the PAL program, visit www.ccapals.com.

YWCA’s ‘Walk a Mile’ event steps up to counter domestic violence BY KAREN BILLING Heather Finlay, the CEO of the YWCA of San Diego County, carries the burden of knowing that 1 in 4 women faces domestic violence in their lives. Thanks to highly publicized issues involving NFL players such as Ray Rice, domestic violence has become a topic of national conversation, and more people are becoming aware just how prevalent abuse is in our society. “The abuse is intense and without experiencing it, you’re hard-pressed to truly imagine what happens and I think this is why the video of Ray Rice punching Janay really shocked a lot of people. It showed what goes on behind closed doors,” Finlay said. “The conversation is very important and the fact that there is a public outcry is important. That we as a country are talking about it is important. We don’t want

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes will be held from 5-9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at 4th Avenue & K Street in downtown San Diego to raise funds for the YWCA and awareness about domestic violence. 5,000 women and families seek help from the YWCA, using widespread services that empower them to transform their lives. Finlay, a Carmel Valley resident, has led the organization for the past five years. Finlay said much of what the YWCA does is education: helping people understand what domestic violence is. It’s really hard for many to understand the cycle of domestic violence and why women stay, Finlay said. She said some women stay largely out of fear, others because they have no means of financial support for themselves or their children, or because they are being threatened. The situation becomes more difficult, because these relationships started in a place of love and kindness. “They all feel isolated and alone and don’t know where to go for help,” Finlay said. “Sadly, they feel a lot of shame and they’re afraid to talk; they’ve been told that it’s all their fault. There’s a lot of marginalization and controlling that goes along with it.” One way to raise both

awareness and funds is the YWCA’s upcoming Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event on Thursday, Oct. 9, a lighthearted event on a serious topic, which gets men to don high-heeled shoes and march. “This is a great opportunity to have this conversation, to get friends and family together to understand that domestic violence is a prevalent issue that affects all of us,” Finlay said. “We all know someone who is affected by domestic violence even if we might not know it yet.” At the event, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman will be on hand to speak. There will be a best shoe contest for the men, and an after-party at Jolt’n Joes in the Gaslamp. They will have some stilettos available for men to use on event day — for men who do not know their size, the conversion to women’s sizes is two sizes up from their size shoe. Finlay is a real estate developer by trade who worked in Texas, Colorado and Canada before moving to California.

A co-worker invited her to a YWCA luncheon, where she was shocked to learn the staggering numbers of women affected by domestic violence. But she was also amazed at the programs the YWCA offered. “I just wanted to help,” Finlay said. At first, Finlay became involved as a volunteer, helping build the organization’s second Becky’s House for victims of domestic violence and their children in 2006. But that soon led to her being on the board, and when the CEO position opened up, she stepped up as a temporary leader. That was five years ago. “When I was working in development, it was very important to me that women had opportunities to get into the development side of real estate. At the time it was largely men, and I really wanted to help women succeed,” Finlay said. “The YWCA was not much of a stretch, because it’s about helping women to succeed and understand their full potential.” Finlay said the YWCA reaches women who feel

marginalized, controlled and as if they’re worthless. The organization seeks to make them feel valued and give them the resources to rebuild their lives. “It is amazing to meet the women and families that come to us for help and hear them say ‘thank you’ for saving their lives. That is something that is always amazing to hear — that’s something many people don’t often hear or don’t hear ever,” Finlay said. “It’s great to know that you’re able to help someone to go out and be the best they can be and live a healthy life and just be here. Some women don’t get that in time.” The YWCA has three main programs: Becky’s House; Passages, for single homeless women; and the Cortez Hill Family Center for homeless families. There are three Becky’s Houses (in undisclosed locations for safety purposes), one of which is an emergency shelter. The third location just opened in 2013. Women can stay there for 18 to 24 months and are offered case management, trauma counseling, career development, and financial literacy and children’s services. A legal team assists with restraining orders, divorce actions and child custody/support. Becky’s Houses have the largest number of emergency shelter and transitional housing beds in the county and serve 500 women and children a year. Passages is a two-year program for single homeless women that offers many of the same services as Becky’s House and focuses on redeveloping women’s skills to find employment and permanent homes.

Local resident takes on germs with traveling ‘Cootie Booties’ BY KAREN BILLING Three years ago, Adria Cammeyer was going through the new travel ritual of removing one’s shoes at airport security and being totally grossed out by the idea of being barefoot where so many others had bared their soles. “I need a pair of cootie booties,” the local resident said aloud to her husband while looking around at the unsettling barefoot scene. On the ensuing fivehour plane ride to her native New York City, Cammeyer came up with the idea for her new product, Cootie Booties — essentially a surgical glove for the feet to wear for travel. As of this week, Cootie Booties are on sale for $1.29 a pair in Hudson News locations at the San Diego International Airport, with the hope to expand to more airports around the country. The booties are also now sold at Madison Luggage in Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar. “I’m really excited,” said Cammeyer. “It was such a level of satisfaction and accomplishment, to see it go from a thought to a model to a prototype. I’m pretty

Adria Cammeyer has invented the Cootie Bootie to keep feet safe. passionate about it, maybe a little nutty about it, but it’s exciting to have a company like Hudson News validate it.” The purple Cootie Booties are meant to ward off icky stuff such as viruses, infections, athlete’s foot, warts and more. The American Academy of Dermatology and other medical organizations discourage walking barefoot through public places. “The feet are a very vulnerable entry point for all sorts of infections,” Cammeyer said, noting

like a CD case — the socks are meant to be discarded after use so people aren’t putting the germs picked up back in their purse or pocket. “When you travel, you can count on a Cootie Bootie,” Cammeyer said. She said the Cootie Booties have many applicable uses outside of travel — they can be used in spas, hotel rooms, the gym, dorm bathrooms or even in the home. “Eighty-five percent of the germs in the home come from what we bring in from outside,” Cammeyer said. “People say ‘you’re crazy’ or ‘you’re a germphobe,’ but I really just want people to be conscious that this is the world we live in.” To learn more, visit cootiebooties.com.

that MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus) particularly concerns her in shared communal spaces that can become hot spots for threatening germs. Any cut, sore or even dry skin on the foot leaves people exposed to bacteria on a dirty public floor. “It’s a matter of educating yourself and the public — this is a solution to a serious health risk. The name is cute, but the truth is that it’s really serious.” Cammeyer has always had an interest in health and wellness. In her varied career, she has worked for an investment banking firm and produced a radio show on health and nutrition, but she always wanted to create her own business. The single-use Cootie Booties are made out of nitrile, a latex-free rubber that is used to make surgical gloves. Cammeyer wanted her product to be something that was form-fitting and “snuggly,” not like the hospital booties that go over shoes, which she said can be quite cumbersome. The booties come in a package of two that looks

USA rowing women’s pair Kerry Simmonds, left, a Torrey Pines graduate, and Megan Kalmoe won silver medals at the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.

Torrey Pines alumna aiming to row her way into Rio Olympics BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley native Kerry Simmons won the silver medal at the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam on Aug. 30. Simmonds, 25, won the pairs competition with her partner, two-time Olympian Megan Kalmoe. She now lives in Princeton, N.J., and trains with the USA rowing team with her sights set on rowing at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This year’s silver-medal finish wasn’t Simmons’ first taste of international rowing success. In 2013, Simmonds was also part of the gold-winning USA National Team of eight at the World Rowing Championships held in South Korea. “(The pairs) medal was a little bit more rewarding than the eight, because with the pairs you’re a little more responsible for how it goes and there’s so much vulnerability to it. It was pretty special,” Simmonds said. “You put yourself out there a little more and you show yourself and others what you can do.” Simmonds graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 2007, an athlete who ran cross country and track and played basketball. When she was visiting her choice college, University of Washington, her tour guide suggested she consider rowing because she was so tall at 6 feet even. Being tall is an advantage in rowing, as the idea is to move the boat as fast as possible by maximizing the length and efficiency of each stroke — the taller the rower, the better the mechanical advantage, according to Kalmoe.

When Simmonds returned to San Diego after that visit, she and her mom went to the Mission Bay Aquatic Center and took out a boat for a lesson. “Looking back now, it wasn’t the greatest time,” Simmonds said with a laugh. “But I thought maybe I could try rowing out, that it could be something that kept me active.” At U-Dub, rowing is a Division 1 NCAAfunded sport and it turned out rowing was a pretty big deal in Seattle. Simmonds found the tradition of the sport inspiring, and after trying out, was named to the novice squad. “There were a lot like me who had never rowed, and the team was pretty good (at) being patient,” Simmonds said. “The transition was not super-hard; the challenge was actually kind of nice. There’s a lot of lingo you have to learn. It’s like a whole new world.” She learned about pace and endurance and the right way to put the blade into the water, an art she is still working to perfect. And she met The Erg, a “brutal, honest” indoor rowing machine that measures a rower’s output. “It’s a good tool for training and is definitely the hardest workout I’ve ever done,” Simmonds said. Simmonds competed with the Huskies in the then-Pac-10, spending her freshman year on the novice boat, making the JV boat as a sophomore and moving into the varsity boat for her final two years. While in college, she was invited to USA Rowing’s Under 23 team camps and made the team the summer of her senior year, winning gold at the 2010 World Row-

ing Under 23 Championships. After graduating from college with a degree in biology, she moved to Princeton to train with the U.S. National Team, just as they were selecting the 2012 Olympic team. Her Erg scores weren’t high enough to be picked, so in fall 2012 she started working on development along with another new group of rowers. She made the eight team in 2013 that won the championship. “U.S. Women’s eight won in the 2012 London Olympics and have won every year since 2006,” Simmonds said. “In 2013, it was a completely new group. We were just thinking ‘Don’t screw it up.’” USA Rowing holds a National Selection Regatta to determine who will make up the pairs boats. The fastest pair earns the right

to compete at the World Cup and the World Championships that year. “Megan and I weren’t favored; we were the underdogs,” said Simmonds of the 2014 selection regatta. “But we came through and ended up winning.” The pair earned the right to compete at the World Rowing Cup in France in June, taking silver, and then went on to represent the U.S. in Amsterdam in August. Simmonds and Kalmoe went up against the defending Olympic pairs champions from Great Britain. “They’re the crew to beat. We had nothing to lose,” Simmonds said. The Great Britain team is known for getting an early lead and hanging onto it, so Simmond’s and Kalmoe’s goal was to keep close to them. “We moved into them a little at the end, but not enough to win, and New Zealand was pushing us,” Simmonds said of the seven minute, 2,000-meter race where they finished fast and strong. “Everyone was pushing everyone.” At Princeton, Simmonds and about 29 See ROW, page 20

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Local couple see used car lot as fertile ground for reality series â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Life on the Lotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; After two years of running the EZCars101 used car dealership on Coast Highway in Encinitas, Karen and Gene Ventura knew they were sitting on a gold mine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of compelling stories and fascinating characters, set against the picturesque backdrop of a typical Southern California beach town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We looked at each other and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make this stuff up,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Karen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said it should be a reality show.â&#x20AC;? Now, the local residents are turning that idea into reality. Shooting for a reality show pilot began this week, and once the program is edited, the couple will shop it to various TV networks, hoping to bring it to the airwaves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The interest is very strong,â&#x20AC;? by networks, said Gene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They see this concept as very unique. They love that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Southern California and something like this has not been done before.â&#x20AC;? Not only would the show, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life on the Lot,â&#x20AC;? be the first reality series centered on a used car dealership, but it would also be the first set primarily in Encinitas, the couple said. As the Venturas described it, the show would chronicle the daily ins and outs of the business, as told through the stories of people who come to their lot shopping for a car. The couple are producing and bankrolling the pilot in the hope that it will be picked up by a network and turned into a series. The Venturas moved to San Diego County about seven years ago from Chicago, where Gene ran a successful real estate development business. They had owned other businesses, such as a restaurant and

jewelry store, but got into the used-car business when the dealership that formerly occupied their location on Coast Highway came up for lease. Gene â&#x20AC;&#x153;has always loved cars,â&#x20AC;? said Karen, so they took over and rebranded the dealership with a beach and surf theme. Along with selling to local customers, the dealership caters to clientele nationwide, shipping vehicles to buyers who spot their dream cars online. In fact, some 80 percent of the dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business comes from the Internet, said Karen. EZCars101 is picky about the cars it buys, and fixes them up before putting them up for sale. They also offer a 90-day power train warranty on the cars they sell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to have a headache when they leave here,â&#x20AC;? Karen said. Shooting on the reality pilot began this week, and will conclude with a public event on Saturday, Oct. 4. The lot will be cleared and ramps set up, and X Games skaters will attempt to jump three cars in a row. The skaters will be towed by a motorcycle to build up their speed. The event will be judged by a panel of pro athletes, and a cash prize will be awarded for the best jump. The entire contest will be filmed for inclusion in the reality show pilot. The show will also feature stories of the used car lotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers, such as the Los Angeles TV producer who startled Karen by driving behind her, screaming. As it turned out, he wanted to use the Range Rover she was driving for one of his projects. Or the hotel developer who lost his $70 million fortune in the great recession, and spent half of his last $10,000 on a car that

Another time, the Venturas loaned out a 1962 orange Chevy Nova for a music video shoot that featured three women dressed as nuns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are all real people,â&#x20AC;? said Gene. A family friend in the media business helped the couple get started, putting them in touch with professionals to work with them on the pilot. Each episode will also feature an educational segment about some aspect of the car business, such as appraising a used vehicle, financing or repair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is always at the end of the show, to leave them with something that is informative and interesting,â&#x20AC;? Gene said. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

New book depicts history of San Diego’s University Club

BY DIANE Y. WELCH The University Club atop Symphony Towers is a harmonious blend of the old meeting the new. Elegantly appointed, with panoramic views of downtown, sitting on the 34th story of Symphony Towers in San Diego, the club’s decor may be ultramodern, but its history runs deep. Reminders of the club’s venerable past are most visible. Fine art pieces that have been the club’s assets for decades grace the walls, as do historical documents. The Founder’s Room has an ambiance of age-old hushed reverence, with the entire space devoted to photographic portraits of the club’s past presidents, all of them men, with the exception of two women’s head shots that stand out: those of Ann Beard and Julie Walke. Walke, the club’s president, elected in 2008 and reelected for subsequent terms, has written “A Pictorial History of the University Club of San Diego,” which provides a detailed timeline of the morethan-century-old institution from its earliest days, when it was founded in 1896. Then it was a meeting place for educated persons to discuss current events; today it is San Diego’s most successful and longest-surviving business and civic club. Beard, a Solana Beach resident, was on the book committee that oversaw the project. She joined the club in 1986, then served as the inaugural female president in 1996 through 1998. She remains a board member along with Jim Alcorn, Rob Scott and Suzanne Swift, with Mike Bixler as vice president. A La Jolla resident, Walke, a media consultant, collaborated on the book with San Diego historian Richard W. Crawford, who wrote each president’s biography, representing 105 years of local and national leadership. Originally a co-ed club, it was made up of 13 women and eight men, said Walke during her book launch presentation at the club on Sept. 10. Two of the charter members were architect Hazel Waterman and botanist Kate Sessions. Then the club was known as the College Graduate Club. Members discussed political affairs of the day and met in each other’s homes. “Then in 1909, a group of fraternity brothers wanted to organize the club more permanently, and that’s when it was incorporated,” Walke explained. That’s also when it became an all-male club, with women barred from membership. The inaugural president was Russell Allen, who later became director of the Buildings and Grounds Committee for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition.

Photo by Peden & Munk/Trunk Archive The male members built a clubhouse that had apartments. As men returned from World War I, they were able to live there. “It was a good place for them to stay connected,” said Walke. In 1977, the women’s movement was in full force; consequently, the club invited women back into the fold. “I think they probably had to increase their membership for financial reasons,” Walke said. “But they’ve never looked back since.” The clubhouse, on Seventh Avenue, was sold in 1989 and about 400 members opted to stay in the club membership. At the same time, a Dallas-based professional club corporation took over its management when it relocated to the Symphony Towers. Instead of dispersing the funds from the sale among the members, it was decided to hold on to them. “In case the arrangement did not work out,” said Walke. Club-related activities were removed from bylaws, and the club’s focus was centered on art preservation, its history and philanthropic work. “It was something that I had to explain a lot, and so that is partly why the book came about,” said Walke. And with the 25-year anniversary of the clubhouse sale and the move into the new location, it was even more timely. “Clearly the relationship has worked out very well to everyone’s benefit. This is a beautiful place and our members are very proud of it.” The San Diego City Council will be honoring the University Club with a proclamation at a City Council Meeting on Oct. 7.

TPHS frosh football team blanks Poway, 48-0 BY WALTER BAYS The Torrey Pines freshman football team rolled to another win over Poway, 480. This was the 5-0 Falcons’ third shutout for the season, in which they have out- Beau Nelson (22) carries the ball for Torrey Pines High scored their opponents by a School. Photo by Claudia Perrone total of 189-35. It was a game of big plays, as people have come to expect from the Falcons. But the first big play belonged to Poway, a quarterback keeper by Clay Elias for 25 yards and a first down on a drive from the Titans’ 35 to Torrey Pines’ 25, where a fumbled snap on fourth down led to a turnover on downs. That was to be Poway’s best drive of the game. Torrey Pines’ defense was fearsome. Falcon Jack Nelson (15) intercepted a pass. Then under heavy pressure by Louis Bicket (44) and Michael Perrone (51), Elias got rid of the ball —where Parker Williams (84) snatched it and ran it in for a touchdown. Later, Beau Morgans (22) got an interception, and Cleophis Baker (79) sacked Elias for a turnover on downs. Zach Friedland (42) forced a fumble which Poway recovered, but with long yardage to go. Then Nelson tackled the receiver for no gain, forcing the game’s only punt. Other Poway drives ended with two fumbles including one where defender Spencer Grant (90) ripped the ball away and ran back for a touchdown, and an interception by Peter Nelson (31). Meanwhile, the Falcons’ offense showed its power. In the first quarter, Sully O’Brien (11) took a pitch 75 yards for a touchdown, Friedland ran 20 yards for a touchdown, and Jackie Plashkes (4) found the end zone on a quarterback sneak. In the second half, a 26-yard pass to Shayne Grant (85) followed by a 27-yard quarterback keeper by Chris Temby (14) gave the Falcons their sixth touchdown. A 15-yard reception by Jacob Ryder (17) set up the Falcons for an 11-yard touchdown run by Cole Mihalinec (16). This is a bye week for Torrey Pines. Next week, they face Carlsbad on the road at 5 p.m.

Giving back with Attack B99 Green (Muchnick): Soccer team helps deaf players in Zimbabwe At the end of the 2013 season, many changes were ahead for the Muchnick B99 Soccer Team. The soccer club they had been playing with since moving to competitive in 2009 was closing down; players and families were therefore facing the uncertainty of a transition to a new club and just what the future was to hold. Many teams and players would have sat back and waited to see what was to come next, but goalie Eli Colin immediately saw an opportunity to ask teammates to donate their team uniforms. Eli was thinking of friends he had made at the Emerald Hill School for the Deaf in Harare, Zimbabwe, where most of the kids are completely hearing impaired — and all of them love to play soccer! Some of the student players use hearing aids, but the coaches and team captains also communicate by signing instructions. The students there have grown accustomed to getting by with what’s available, sometimes playing in conditions and with equipment that isn’t safe. Eli collected Manchester Carmel Valley uniforms and practice gear, knowing that it would live a new life at the Emer-

He and his team collected the gear and sorted it, and Eli and his family hand-delivered it to the students this summer. Two full teams were provided with uniforms! The visit and the appreciation shown by the students already has Eli setting a new goal of collecting more uniforms as well as gently used cleats for Emerald Hill. “At our age, we are growing so fast that we don’t even get a chance to wear out our cleats before they become too small,” said Eli. “So throughout the garages in our neighborhood there are many pairs of cleats collecting dust that could otherwise be put to good use.” Eli said that working with the kids in Zimbabwe has given him a better view of how fortunate he is and how a little effort goes a long way to help change someone’s life for the better. For the 2014 season, Eli and his team joined Rancho Santa Fe Attack as B99 Green (Muchnick). The new season

has brought new challenges, like adapting to a new club and competing in the San Diego Development Academy. In addition, new opportunities have come up, such as a trip to the UK to compete internationally at the Keele Cup.

Adopt a Family art benefit in Del Mar a success On Sunday, Sept. 14, Erik Skoldberg hosted a benefit for the Adopt a Family Foundation at his gallery in Del Mar. The benefit was well attended by members of the community as well as one of the Adopt a Family beneficiaries, a family from Sderot in the south of Israel, who enjoyed a week in San Diego. Adopt a Family is a local nonprofit that provides a financial and emotional support for Israeli citizens and their families who have been victims of terrorism. At the event, Israeli artist Yaron Bob presented his art “Beauty out of Horror” and explained how he transforms metal from the mortars and rockets into art pieces. Guests enjoyed music by singer/guitarist Kayla Hope and food provided by Il Fornaio. Skoldberg generously donated a beautiful painting from his collection to the foundation. All proceeds from the night will be donated toward rebuilding a children’s playground on kibbutz Mefalsim. For more information, visit adoptafamilyfoundation@gmail.com

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Technology leader MediaTek opens San Diego office The smartphone chip business is growing in San Diego. Expanding its U.S. footprint, Taiwanese-based MediaTek unveiled its San Diego office during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 24. “North America is a very important market for MediaTek,” said Kristin Taylor, the company’s vice president of public and analyst relations. “Because of that importance, we need to be here to serve clients and operators, the American people, to make sure that they have the technology that we engineer.” Specializing in providing low-cost radios and apps processors to phone makers primarily in China, MediaTek is now working on “advanced and next generation technologies.” With 22 locations worldwide, MediaTek has already established its presence in the U.S. in Austin, Boston, Irvine and San Jose. “We think there’s a lot of engineering talent here and we know we’ll be tapping into that talent by creating the office here,” said Taylor, who added the company has hired and is still recruiting engineers, as well as talent in finance, marketing and other departments. “There are some wonderful universities in town that can be feeders for us.” Since its founding in 1997, MediaTek has grown to become a market leader and pioneer in cutting-edge systemon-chip solutions for wireless communications, high-definition television, optical storage, and DVD and Blu-ray products. The company’s newest U.S. branch is located on the fifth floor of 10188 Telesis Court in Sorrento Valley — near the headquarters of rival Qualcomm. “We’re not on anybody’s heels,” Taylor said. “We’re on our own path and we’re working to serve and support the people that use our technologies. It’s really, really important to MediaTek to stay close to the customers to understand

Letters to the editor/Opinion Why the Carmel Valley Planning Board’s decision on One Paseo makes sense Kudos to the Carmel Valley Planning Board for their decision on the One Paseo project. While soundly rejecting the current proposal, the board did offer a solution for what the board would accept — a smaller version of the One Paseo “Main Street” concept. Instead of “Just Say No,” they offered Kilroy parameters around which the Planning Board would accept a mixed-use development for the site, in keeping with our community character and the city’s “City of Villages” strategy for regional growth. A flat-out rejection could easily be construed as NIMBYism (Not In My-Back-Yard) and thereby lack any real punch to the recommendation. Instead, by expressing support for reduced-scale version of the One Paseo Main Street proposal, the Planning Board offers the Planning Commission and City Council an alternative that would provide a central village atmosphere, but not overburden the already established neighborhood fabric. I don’t believe Kilroy plans to modify the project as it moves forward to hearings with the Planning Commission and City Council. Therefore, the city must demand clear, objective reasoning for why the reduced alternative suggested by the Planning Board is unfeasible from a community character perspective, or require that Kilroy more fully explore a reduced-size alternative consistent with the board’s recommendation. I would hope that the Planning Commission and City Council appreciate and recognize the thoughtful, deliberative process that went into the Planning Board’s recommendation for a smaller-version One Paseo.

Guest commentary: Recent spotlight on domestic violence brings up questions BY JOEL LAZAR, PH.D. AND RICHARD LEVAK, PH.D. The news regularly reminds us that we live in a violent world. Ever since Europeans colonized America, violence has been glorified and its consequences minimized. From movies about the Wild West to “Roadrunner” cartoons to NFL and ESPN highlight videos of “best hits” to violent video games and rap music lyrics, we have become numb to the results of physical aggression. Until the past few months! Disturbing videos of partner violence and violence towards a child by a professional athlete have understandably horrified people. Although most of us suspected that domestic violence occurred in some homes, seeing the evidence has created a groundswell of disgust. As our collective numbness to violence has temporarily been dislodged, perhaps the tipping point for a serious dialogue about violence has arrived. Why does it happen and what can be done to minimize it? The science of psychology has researched some of the questions raised by these violent incidents and we hope to inspire a dialogue about violence in general. A common question is “How could an athletic, well-compensated, muscular man resort to punching his wife in the face, knocking her out, regardless of the provocation?” Professional football players are rewarded for their physical prowess, and have often been treated as special, even above the law, since their teen years. If gifted athletes also experienced physical abuse or were exposed to domestic violence as a child, they are more likely to abuse others as an adult. Of course, not all abused children become abusers, but the risk is increased. As local psychologist David Wexler suggested in “When Good Men Behave Badly,” some men react with violence when their self-esteem is threatened because their partner is unsatisfied with their efforts. Of course, not all men who act violently are “good men,” but Adrian Peterson’s abuse of his son is an example of a father who was trying to be a responsible parent, yet injured his child in the process. He was initially surprised by the public outcry regarding his ac-

tions, because he was repeating the parenting techniques used by his parents on him. However, the laws have changed since he was a child. Although parents are still allowed to spank their children, they are no longer allowed to bruise them. Research now also suggests that physical punishment is not an effective teaching method. Another question that often asked is, “Why would someone stay with an abuser?” Research shows that many abused people continue to live with their partners, and even protect them against legal prosecution. Some stay with abusive partners because they feel dependent upon them financially, for social support, or want to maintain an intact family “for the sake of the children.” An interesting dynamic of abuse was exemplified years ago when heiress Patty Hearst was kidnapped but eventually identified with her captors and assisted them in subsequent bank robberies. A domestic partner who feels dependent, insecure, and lacking in self-confidence over time may begin to identify with the abuser, just as Hearst did. When abused early in life, victims may conclude that they deserve abuse, that they caused the abuser to hit them, or that being hit is how someone shows love. Also, since violence is often followed by an apology and promises that it will never happen again, some victims stay, with the optimistic hope that it won’t happen again. The videos also raised the question, “Is physical punishment of children effective?” Although some believe that the “spare the rod, spoil the child” approach to parenting works well, parents can be consistent enforcers of rules without physical aggression and the risk of injuring a child. Research shows that while physical punishment is sometimes effective in changing behavior for a brief period, it risks negative side effects. Adults who are hit as children are more likely to hit their children and their romantic partners. And research has demonstrated that children who are physically punished often repeat the punished behavior within hours of being hit. Some children come to believe that they deserve being hit because of their

Turf replacement project paying dividends BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS We are loving our new, artificial turf. All 6,000 square feet of it. Earlier this month, the front and back yards of our Solana Beach home bustled with activity as crews ripped out a very-thirsty lawn and replaced it with nice, artificial turf that looks so real that you wouldn’t know it’s fake until you run your fingers through it. The project is paying early dividends, which we expect only to increase. The kids and dog have scampered, romped and rolled around on the fake lawn. The turf handled it with ease. An added plus is that no one tracked in a grassy, muddy mess as they traveled from the pool to the kitchen. We are getting lots of great feedback from our neighbor, too. And when we pull up to the two-story house we purchased from Patti Page, the singing rage, we feel we made a smart choice: Drought-tolerant landscaping would not have complemented the brick-Colonial design of the house. It needed a lawn to pull together the brick and wood. Like all Californians, we need to do our part to save water. And that’s where we expect to reap continued dividends. Artificial turf is estimated to save 44 gallons per square foot. Over the course of a year, that will translate into 264,000 gallons of water saved. That’s significant, especially as drought conditions have made conservation more important than ever. I look forward to seeing reductions in our water bill. The project cost $45,000, but we paid almost nothing for it up front. That’s because we qualified for a loan that we can repay on our property tax bill. Property Assessed Clean Energy — or PACE —

Dave Roberts programs are available to residents of Solana Beach and other cities. The financing option for energy- and water-efficiency projects also is available to owners of commercial and residential property in the unincorporated area. My colleague, Chairwoman Dianne Jacob, and I worked hard to bring the PACE program to the County of San Diego. In a competitive marketplace, a number of lenders offer PACE loans. For our project, we chose HERO, a company with offices in Carmel Mountain Ranch. To help recover costs, we have applied for a $2-per-square-foot rebate from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which provides this cash incentive for people who replace traditional lawns with a drought-tolerant alternatives. With the HERO loan, an anticipated rebate and easy financing, the project made good sense for our household budget. It’s expensive to keep a 6,000-square-foot lawn looking good. With reductions in water and gardening bills, we expect to recover our investment in nine years. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

“bad” behavior or because they are “bad” kids, and are more likely to tolerate abuse as adults. They also tend to be more passive and lower in self-esteem. Parents can now go online to seek out parenting classes for more effective alternatives to physical punishment, or consult books such as Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) or Positive Discipline. We hope that the understandable present public outrage becomes the impetus for action. Although a home needs to be a sanctuary for all members, it can be the most dangerous environment that some partners and children experience. If you are in a violent relationship, you need to get support from a mental health professional and/or support group. If your safety is in jeopardy, consider calling a domestic violence hotline for guidance at 619-234-3164 or 800799-7233. In a civilized society, no one deserves to fear their home and those they love. Joel Lazar, Ph.D., and Richard Levak, Ph.D., are members of the San Diego Psychological Association.

‘Storybook ending’ for Girl Scouts’ 17th annual urban campout fundraiser Debbie Rider of Carmel Valley recently played a key role in the success of Urban Campout: Adventures in Wonderland, Girl Scouts San Diego’s 17th annual “fun fundraiser for grownups.” Rider, who chairs the board of directors, also served on the event planning committee. More than 500 guests attended, bringing in $360,000 to help keep Girl Scouting available and affordable for 30,000 local girls. Del Mar residents Cap- Mel and Linda Katz (L-R) ventured down the rabbit hole tain Gisele Bonitz, Phil and with Catherine and Phil Blair. Catherine Blair, Marty Cooper and Arlene Harris, Linda and Mel Katz, Stephanie and Don McGuire, Denise Lew and Dana Parks, along with Lee and Elliott Scott were among revelers at the campout. San Diego City Council President Todd Gloria was the honorary chairman, teaming up with Co-chairs Patti Roscoe and Jim Tiffany. Rider told the audience how Girl Scouting develops leadership skills, helping girls build courage, confidence and character through activities ranging from camp and travel to STEM and cultural arts programs. She invited attendees to volunteer as Girl Scout leaders for girls in every ZIP code. “We encourage girls to dream big, plan their own projects and reach into their communities to address needs they see from their own perspective,” said Rider. She relayed a story about Lilly Grossman, a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient who mounted a life-saving campaign from the seat of her wheelchair. Lilly created an emergency plan at her high school to safely evacuate students living with disabilities. She also hosted a “Day in the Chair” event so students could experience first-hand what it’s like to get around campus without being able to walk. Rider also shared anecdotes about the Girl Scouting experiences of her daughter, Emersen. During the summer, the Carmel Valley Brownie went to sleep-away camp for the first time, where she made new friends, rode horses and explored nature. Urban Campout volunteers transformed Girl Scouts San Diego’s Balboa Park property into a whimsical party venue for the “Alice in Wonderland”-themed event. Guests in costumes and TGIF attire played flamingo croquet, danced under the stars among topiaries, created fanciful Mad Hatter headwear, savored gourmet fare, posed with Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and bid on 144 auction packages. Wells Fargo was the presenting sponsor. Others were Qualcomm, Nadine and Carlo Daleo, Chevron, Cubic Corporation, Delphi, Private Wealth Management, Tipton Honda, Barbara and David Groce, the San Diego Chargers, Sycuan Casino, Cox Communications, Holland America Line, Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers, KPBS, the San Diego Zoo and Southwest Airlines. Underwriters were Roseanne and Rick Brooks, Regina and Shea Buckley, Sandy Brue and Chris Carstens, Etet Deguia, the Fischer/Wang family, Tange and Tom Gavin, Marcia and David Gill, Karen and Andy Hewitt, Roscoe and Tiffany, Sylvia and Tom Vecchione, and Marlene and Eric Williams. Proceeds from the Urban Campout: Adventures in Wonderland fundraiser will help support local Girl Scouting programs and activities. Among those benefiting are the 800-

Coastal Cleanup at San Elijo Lagoon The community came out to help with the annual San Elijo Lagoon’s California Coastal Cleanup. What was the most unusual debris found? A water softener tank. That item, and 600 pounds of trash, 100 pounds of recyclables, and 12 cubic yards of invasive ice plant were removed during the cleanup. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy organized the event, which was supported by 125 community volunteers. Photo courtesy Jo Quin

project has the ability to get rid of them and said he would vote for the project as long as the architect considered every way to move the proposed youth center building out of the setback. Architect Dennis Hyndman said they have buried the front of the building and pulled it back as tight as they could into the setback to avoid encroaching into the Multiple Habitat Protection Area. Hyndman said the building is also positioned as it is to leave space for emergency vehicle access. Riser said they have an

agreement with the neighboring lot regarding the setback — the adjacent fouracre lot is vacant, with no design plans yet completed. The phasing of the project will be driven by finances — the campus will not be built all at once. It’s likely the church or hall building would come first, Krikorian said. Next April is the 100year anniversary of the Armenian genocide. St. Garabed had hoped to break ground before that 100-year anniversary, if possible, and a special memorial will be built on the church site to honor the victims. At the beginning of the board meeting, Harvey proposed continuing the item

as the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority had not had time to review the final environmental impact report. In a 4-6 vote, Harvey’s motion to continue the project failed. Clews argued that the meeting had been well publicized and the EIR (Environmental Impact Report) was available a week earlier. He noted that the room was filled with church supporters, but no representative from the JPA (Joint Powers Authority). “It’s important as board members that we represent the community,” Clews said. “They’re here, and they’re prepared.”

TRAFFIC continued from page 3

It would cost the city about $250,000 annually to add a full-time traffic deputy. AdamsHydar suggested hiring a temporary deputy without “all the overhead,” such as benefits, for three to six months to determine how much impact an additional officer would have on traffic violations. City officials said it would cost about $150,000 for a temporary deputy during the trial period. “I think that would be a good idea for you guys to evaluate that and look at all your options,” she said. In response to the concerns raised, Adams-Hydar thanked community members for their feedback and said decisions, such as changing the traffic deputy’s schedule, would be made with input from residents and city staff. “We hear what you’re saying,” she said. “We understand it; we get it. It’s just a matter of the resources we have, using them smartly and efficiently, and hitting all over.”

we have that 34-1/2-foot height limit.” AT&T representative Doug Munson, who serves as vice president of M&M Telecom, added that the company would need structures at two different sites if council members approved a modified version of the project. “What is less intrusive: one site that covers the whole objective … or something that degrades it to where we have to have at least two sites?” he asked. But after further questioning by the council, Munson acknowledged the company hasn’t yet investigated other sites in the city and whether they would need to build a second structure. AT&T originally presented the project to the council on March 12, but the item was continued to the council’s May 14 meeting so the applicant could provide a design alterna-

tive. On May 14, AT&T requested the project be continued to the July 9 meeting because it needed more time to provide an alternative design. After looking into alternatives, AT&T said it was unable to develop a design that would provide the necessary radio frequency toward Cedros Avenue and be acceptable to the property owners. On June 24, it requested via email that the council make a determination on the originally proposed design. At the July 9 council meeting, the council asked AT&T to provide evidence that the structure was needed to address a significant gap in coverage. Therefore, the item was continued to the Aug. 27 meeting, but again, AT&T requested a continuance. Since then, AT&T has submitted additional documents, which were analyzed by the city’s third-party consultant. “AT&T has demonstrated there is a gap in their ser-

vice capacity,” said the city’s consultant Tripp May during the meeting. “I think that AT&T has provided you with a good range of options. In my professional opinion, the 32.6 tip height that was proposed strikes a reasonable balance.” With council members acknowledging the need for better coverage but concerned about the structure’s height, City Attorney Johanna Canlas noted that AT&T didn’t “have a right to the ideal coverage.” “It doesn’t have to be the least expensive proposal, and it doesn’t have to be the most efficient facility,” she said. Therefore, the council unanimously approved a modified version of the project. “The aesthetics is a serious issue in a town where we have pride in our community character and the character of our neighborhoods,” said Councilman Peter Zahn.

RANGER continued from page 1

view Sept. 27 that he deserved to lose his post for sounding “like a jerk” for nearly 10 minutes on the camera. He said he regretted it after, and told his sheriff’s supervisor. Del Mar contracts with the Sheriff’s Department to provide law and traffic enforcement, and employs one park ranger with full police powers to patrol its parks and beaches, with help from community service officers. The ranger has used a body camera since 2012, Potter said, “to enhance transparency between the Park Ranger program and the community.” An independent news videographer, J.C. Playford, obtained the video through a California Public Records Act request and posted it on his YouTube news site, NewsNowSanDiego, on Sept. 24. The camera on Chase’s

chest shows a driver in the next lane with a cellphone to his ear. Chase is heard saying he is pulling over a car on Camino del Mar. Once stopped, the driver asks why he was pulled over, and repeatedly tells Chase, “You don’t have the authority” outside the parks and beaches. Chase says state law gives him the power. He asks if the reserve deputy is on duty. The deputy says no, but curses and says he intends to “make a deal of it” at the sheriff’s station. Chase replies, “I could write you a citation … but you’re a sheriff deputy, I’m not going to do that.” He gave the deputy a warning. Masters said he doesn’t like to hear people give excuses for bad behavior, but that day he felt ill with a bad headache and “I just wasn’t in the mood.” He said he had never before been in trouble as a reserve deputy, and had never been fired from a job. He said he didn’t notice the ranger’s camera and didn’t know their words were re-

corded. Potter said that Chase reported the encounter to City Manager Scott Huth, who took it to the Sheriff’s Department and requested an immediate review. “The Sheriff’s Department responded immediately by taking appropriate action with the volunteer Reserve Deputy,” Potter said. He did not say what that action was. “The City commends Park Ranger Adam Chase for his professionalism and calm response to the individual’s allegations and statements,” Potter said. Potter said the Encinitas sheriff’s station commander reinforced the importance of deputies working with the ranger. The California Penal Code says a park ranger is a peace officer if regularly employed to protect and preserve the peace in the park and other property. The Del Mar city website says its ranger is a sworn peace officer with additional training as a lifeguard and emergency medical technician.

DM temporarily shutters body-cam program The city of Del Mar issued the following statement Sept. 27: “Following a recent California Public Records Act request for a copy of a video of an incident that was captured on the City’s Park Ranger’s body camera, the City of Del Mar has temporarily discontinued use of the body camera program. “The City began use of the body camera in 2012 in an effort to enhance transparency between the Park Ranger program and the community. While the body camera has been a useful tool for the City’s Park Ranger, the City is currently reviewing the body camera program and procedures for all of its applications. In the interim, the City has discontinued use of the body camera until this review is completed. “The City employs a Park Ranger to supplement public safety services in Del Mar. The Park Ranger is responsible for enforcing Del Mar Municipal Code regulations and State laws in the City’s parks and beaches. The City’s Park Ranger works cooperatively with the San Diego County Sheriff to protect and serve Del Mar residents, businesses, and visitors.” people in the program each honor to meet people who year. are overcoming so much When Finlay thinks and persevering and doing continued from page 6 about the services they prowhat’s best for themselves vide, her mind always goes and their children.” gram has 39 rooms and to the holiday season, People are encouraged serves 69 women at a time. when many of the families to register in advance for At Cortez Hill, the are together all at once. the Walk a Mile in Her YWCA offers a 120-day pro- Looking around the room, Shoes event and to set up a gram for homeless families she fully grasps just how fundraising page; visit to stay together as they many people are affected by http://www.ywcasandiego. work toward breaking the domestic violence.

other rowers are training six times a week, four to six hours a day over two to three practices. The rowers cross-train with running, biking, weight lifting and a lot of Erging. The USA team uses the same boathouse as the Princeton crew on Lake Carnegie and also rows at Mercer Lake. “It does get cold here, and the lake eventually

freezes,” Simmonds said. During the winter, the team will use the Erg or they come to San Diego for winter camp, training at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. Those two-and-a-half months back home in San Diego are fun for Simmonds, being close to family and friends. In what little spare time she has, Simmonds also helps coach a high school rowing team in Princeton, but rowing is her

full-time job. “The whole time I’ve been here, I’ve been aiming for the Rio Olympics,” said Simmonds, adding that every year athletes want to make the National Team, but only in an Olympic year is it the Olympic team. “I’m an Olympic hopeful, but I’m not an Olympian yet. The goal is to stay healthy, keep training and make the team next summer.”

The Youtheletes are hosting a rugby clinic Oct. 18-19 for students in grades 3-8.

The Torrey Pines High School Lacrosse Team participated in the second Walk/Run to benefit the Jose Montano Foundation.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youtheletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offer Rugby Clinic in CV Oct. 18-19

TPHS lacrosse team turns out for benefit walk

Youtheletes announces a Rugby Clinic Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 18 and 19, for students in grades 3-8. The clinic will focus on teaching skill and the fundamentals of rugby in a friendly environment, with no experience necessary. Both days will be taught by senior varsity members of the Mustangs Rugby Club, who have made great strides together in the sport and want to share their experience with others. These varsity Mustangs earned their way to the national competition in Elkhart, Ind., this year, where the team placed fourth in the nation. Youtheletes coaches are young people teaching young people their techniques, strategies, and love for the sport that has brought them so much success. The Youtheletes Rugby Clinic is organized by Omar Rodriguez and Dylan Fetzer, who, with Torran Raby, Jeremy Fleet and Adam Wilson, promise a weekend that will be informative and fun for all. Each of the athletes has earned honors in the sport, including All-Star Griffens and in the case of Torran, a U-18 All-American status. Rugby offers the ability for athletes to run, pass and kick the ball in an effort to score tries (rugby-speak for a goal or touchdown). An Olympic and collegiate sport, it is gaining in popularity as more and more young men and women are exposed to the game. The Youthelete coaches agree that the best way to learn rugby is to try it! Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very physical sport, when played correctly, rugby is much safer than many other sports. Everyone is invited. Participants do not need any experience in rugby, just a desire to learn the game. For information and to register, visit www.Youtheletes.com.

The Torrey Pines High School boys lacrosse team supported honorary team member #11, Jose Montano, on Sept. 28 in the second 5K Walk/Run to benefit the Jose Montano Foundation, held at Liberty Station in Point Loma. Jose Montano passed away on April 13, 2014, after battling brain cancer for three years. While the team knew him, Jose taught the team about the power of positive thought, putting others ahead of themselves, and about character and community. These are all attributes the Torrey Pines Boys Lacrosse Program strives to live by. They want to help make a positive effect on the community one day at a time. Jose will always be a teammate, hero, and inspiration to the TPHS Boys Lacrosse program and it will continue to support his foundation to honor the amazing young man that he was. He will forever be a teammate, brother and friend to the team. The Jose Montano Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to continue with Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give from the heart.â&#x20AC;? The foundation brings toys and games to Rady Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Hematology/ Oncology Department and to Kaiser Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pediatric Department. Members also bring healthy â&#x20AC;&#x153;snack bagsâ&#x20AC;? to the families of hospitalized patients at Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and Kaiser Hospital once a month. The foundation continues to grow in the name of Jose Montano. Visit www.josemontanofoundation.org and you can always â&#x20AC;&#x153;likeâ&#x20AC;? the Facebook page at Jose Montano Foundation.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH On Thursday, Sept. 25, Katie Michel wore her Beatles shirt to school. When she arrived home later — at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe — she saw notice of a talk that night at The Bridges by Louise Harrison. As she rushed to attend the presentation, she realized the irony of her attire that day. Louise Harrison is the older sister of the late George Harrison, the former Beatles’ lead guitarist and acclaimed singer-songwriter and philanthropist. He was also a compassionate advocate for music in schools. Harrison’s talk echoed her brother’s concern about keeping music in education. “The whole time I was thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, I am in the presence of one of my favorite Beatles’ own flesh and blood,’” said Katie, 17, an ardent George Harrison fan. Accompanying Harrison was Marty Scott, a member of the Beatles tribute band Liverpool Legends, with whom Harrison partners. Scott plays George and Harrison refers to him as her “new kid brother.” They met just six weeks after George’s death in November 2001. Since then, the tribute band was created and performs in Branson, Mo., where Harrison resides. “We’ve done an excellent job there in providing Beatle music to the public,” Harrison said in a later exclusive interview with this newspaper. “The band is very authentic.” Most notably, Liverpool Legends plays in schools. Coordinating with music directors, students learn the line-up of songs ahead of time, then perform alongside the band. At some venues there were more than 250 students on stage, she said. “The Beatles’ music initially was fairly simple, but later it got into orchestration and became more complex,” said Harrison. With this connection to

As 73 million viewers watched the Beatles’ historic debut 50 years ago on Sullivan’s variety show, Harrison worried about whether George could perform at all. He had a raging fever caused by strep throat, and she secretly served as his nurse. In the aftermath, George wrongly became known as the “quiet Beatle” because of this illness.

When asked why she has written the book now, Harrison said, “For years fans have requested that I retell what really happened, as many of the books on the Beatles are not factual. I read all kinds of wild stories that stun me because they are so out of character.” Harrison’s character made a lasting impression on Katie: “I thought that Louise was a very wise person ... knowing what is important in life. She is very kind for sharing all that she has experienced.” It is this willingness to share that keeps the energetic 82-year-old devoted to touring and talking about “her kid brother’s band.” The evening after her Bridges presentation, Harrison spoke to an audience of 150 at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad. Her talk was video-recorded and will be added to the museum’s permanent collection. There are plans to curate an exhibition using Harrison’s personal archive of letters between herself and Epstein, family photographs and other Beatle-related ephemera. For someone whose schoolgirl report card read, “Louise is a handful,” and whose mother said jokingly, “If I’d had another girl, I would have sent her back,” Harrison has created a bold endeavor that continues the Harrison legacy of compassion and giving. George Harrison was 58 when he passed away from complications of cancer, and several of Harrison’s relatives have died in their 50s. With her signature dry humor, Harrison quipped, “They’ve all been let off for good behavior and obviously I’m still here, so I better start having some good behavior before I can get out of this.” For information on Harrison’s book, “My Kid Brother’s Band a.k.a. The Beatles!”, visit www.acclaimpress.com. Harrison’s book is also available online at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com.

Local author hoping book helps teens to air problems

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Using the power of raw, uncensored expressions and feelings committed to the pages of teenagers’ diaries, Carmel Valley author Janet Larson has published “My Diary Unlocked: Stories of Teen Girls Heal the Inner Adolescent of Our Soul.” The book combines real diary entries with insights from Larson, a self-esteem expert. “My Diary Unlocked” is available online, at some local bookstores and is featured at the bookstore at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, which has a new exhibit on Anne Frank, perhaps the world’s most famous diarist. Anne’s words are among those youthful insights featured in “My Diary Unlocked” as Larson received permission from the Anne Frank Foundation to use excerpts of her work. Larson, who lives in Carmel Valley with her husband and daughter, Clay and Angela Melugin, has been working on the book for 10 years, collecting diary entries and conducting research.

Her “light-bulb moment” for the book came during a move, when she unearthed her high school diary in a dusty box in a storage unit. “I read the whole thing cover to cover and I laughed and I cried and I cringed,” Larson said. “I just realized what devastatingly low selfesteem I had. I had this negative self-talk revealed in my raw diary entries.” Larson said she grew up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional home, and she felt very alone despite being a pom-pom girl, having a boyfriend and being on the student council. By the age of 19, she had gotten pregnant and had had an abortion. She said the most powerful entry in her diary is the blank page the day after she found out she was pregnant, because she felt that her soul was crushed. “I wanted to stretch my arms back across time and give that girl a great big hug,” writes Larson in the book. “Unlocking my diary gave me a greater appreciation than ever before of the contrast between the girl I

Janet Larson recently published “My Diary Unlocked,” which features diary entries submitted by teenagers. used to be and the woman I had become. The realization of how far I had come empowered me to more purposefully chart a course to even greater freedom and to share my secrets with others.” Larson has a master’s in human resources and psychology from the University of Oregon and worked as a HR consultant, motivating employees. She was personally trained by Jack Canfield, coauthor of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series, to present self-esteem seminars for young women.

She has worked with everyone from Girl Scouts to unwed teen mothers to women and children at emergency shelters. Canfield wrote the foreword for the book. Larson decided to publish the book herself, training herself in design programs for layout and the book’s visuals, and hiring a professional editing team. After years of work, it was published on Aug. 4. “I can’t even describe it,” Larson said of finally seeing the book in physical form, her personal copy filled with notes and scribbles.

The diary entries of real teenage girls are interspersed throughout research and insight from experts and empowering exercises crafted by Larson to help readers become aligned with their true selves and live more authentically. She combed through thousands of diary entries, from girls in their late teens to women now in their 60s. “The extremely powerful thing about the book is the universal themes we all go through, no matter what generation. There’s no boundaries on the issues we all ultimately feel: ‘Am I good enough? Am I lovable? Am I capable of achieving my dreams?’ “The diary entries are extremely compelling,” Larson said. The book goes into territory that not many others do, Larson said, covering “taboo” issues that affect self-esteem such as body image, addiction, depression and suicide. She said that the book could offer a safe conversation-starter for parents on real topics that teenagers are facing. “Mothers are not sup-

posed to read their children’s diaries, but if you have kids, this is a way to get inside information on the issues and how girls feel,” Larson said. “A huge message I got from the perspective of teens is that they don’t feel listened to. The power of connection, that’s what we need at every level.” The No. 1 message that Larson wants to share with others is, “You are not alone.” “It was extremely hard to open up and I was concerned about what my family and friends would think about what I reveal in the book — a history of depression and anxiety. I felt extremely vulnerable,” Larson said. “But it’s also a part of the message of the book, that as adults we’re the torchbearers for the next generation. We need to be vulnerable to share our stories so that others know that they’re not alone.” Her anxiety returned when she published the book, so she turned to her own advice, doing an exerSee AUTHOR, page B19

Two Sam Shepard plays in the footlights on Cygnet stage BY DIANA SAENGER Cygnet Theatre Artistic Director Sean Murray seems to have a good intuition for what play will entertain an audience and also challenge his actors and crew. Current productions are Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Sam Shepard’s “True West” and “Fool for Love.” Murray said he likes Cygnet Artistic Director Sean Murray directs Sam many things about Shepard’s Shepard’s ‘True West’ in repertory with “Fool for Love.” plays, including that he’s a Courtesy photos funny but visceral writer. “It’s exciting to read his work, but it’s only in the live production that we see what he’s going after,” Murray said. “We’re running these two plays in repertory, but it’s not necessary to see both or one before the other. In a way, they are slightly similar in that you can feel the hand of the playwright focus on identity crisis.” In “Fool for Love” Eddie (Fran Gercke) is hunting down May (Carla Harting), the passionate love of his life. He finds her in a hotel and tries to get her to come back to him. May wants to break the relationship and start life anew. “True West” is about two brothers. Austin is a screenwriter who is taking care of his mother’s home in suburban Los Angeles. He sells his screenplay, and a lot of unexpected things come out of that, as his brother Lee (Manny Fernandes) shows up from the desert. “Both plays touch on duality,” Murray said. “May is one thing to herself and something different to Eddie. They are one thing and then they are another, split down the middle; they are two halves. The plays work on many levels. “In ‘True West,’ the brothers seem to be split between someone who’s trying to make it on the Hollywood scene, and the other who is anti-social and more of a wild, visceral Old West-type. There’s two different energies fighting each other and each one wants to be the other one.” The plays fall under what Shepard fans call his “family plays,” and Murray finds them very thought-provoking. “They get you thinking,” he said. “We think we know who we are. Shepard wants to find out what happens when you strip that away. Who are you really underneath? Shepard doesn’t necessarily like to answer a lot of questions. He likes to leave things a bit unresolved. He puts his characters into these very intense situations and lets you figure out how they got there and what’s going to happen next.

“There’s an old man in ‘Fool for Love’ who just sits on the stage in a mysterious way, and we eventually find out he’s a big part of the story. He’s an essential character in a lot of Shepard’s plays. His own father was a very remote World War II fighter pilot who was disconnected, disillusioned and an alcoholic with violent tendencies. That character shows up in a lot in his family plays. “In ‘Fool for Love’ he’s an offstage character; in ‘True West,’ a big influence on the two brothers. Yet when we talk about the old man in each, it’s as if that father character was cut from the same cloth.” Taking on plays in repertory is not new for Murray, but still a big challenge. He stays focused by finding the truth and what’s real and exciting about each. “These plays are for theater lovers and

junkies of American classics,” he said. “Both are written by one of America’s iconic playwrights. They are for people who want to feel like they had an opportunity to see something, after which they have something to say. There a lot of surprises and twist and turns, if one has not seen them. If they have, there’s something about watching a great play and actors who have a different interpretation to bring to a script. This particular cast is extremely good and experienced with Shepard’s work.” True West” and “Fool for Love” are on stage through Nov. 2 at Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St. San Diego.

‘The Royale’ goes ringside with early 20th century boxing circuit BY DIANA SAENGER The Old Globe Theatre ushers in an unusual and exciting play with “The Royale,” directed by twotime Obie Award-winning and Drama Desk Awardnominated Rachel Chavkin. Loosely based on the life of turn-of-the-century boxing legend, Jack Johnson, the male cast includes a lone female, Montego Glover as Nina. The challenge of playing against the men did not intimidate Glover, although she admits she was a little hesitant about the boxing theme. “Boxing is one sport I cringe at because I find it so brutal,” she said. “It’s taken a little bit of patience and bravery for me to get in the mode, but once we started boxing classes with a trainer, it was really great. Jack Johnson is a fascinating character and this play, based on his life with a woman, was a clincher that attracted me to the project.” In “The Royale,” Jay (Robert Christopher Riley) longs for the title of Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. However, it’s 1905 and “The Sport,” as he calls himself, has to deal with racial tensions. “There’s something really exciting and fascinating about the turn-of-the-century and Americans — in par-

thony Thomas (Wynton), Okieriete Onaodowan (Fish), were to work with. “Nina is the woman in Jay’s life who is driven, firm and strong in her beliefs,” Glover said. “She enters the play with a clear and direct point that needs to be made to Jay about this incredible experience he’s about to have — the fight of the century for the heavyweight championship. “I’ve been delighted to work with Rachel. We are all so focused and everyone has been so good about staying on their game. But she is clearly at the helm and at the same time extraordinarily collaborative — serving the piece in the process.” Glover called “The Royale” a marvelous play that theatregoers will enjoy, agreeing with Globe’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein that through these characters, audiences

will see the world in a new way. “The dialogue around these things matter and have universality about them,” she said. “The roots of this play run deep, but it’s clear and concise, so being able to pull it off the page and send it through space to people in the room, who can grab some of the roots of this story and send it out beyond the room, is amazing.” If You Go: “The Royale” plays Oct. 4-Nov. 2 at the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

Lonestar has sold more than 10 million albums and recorded nine No. 1 hit songs on the country charts (and 18 in the top 10). More than a remarkable music event, the evening will commemorate 20 years of the hospital’s service to children. In just that time, impressive humanitarian milestones have been accomplished. In June, the Hospital Infantil de las Californias surpassed its 10,000th surgery, and in October it’s anticipated that the hospital’s 400,000th medical consultation will have been provided. Proceeds from “Country for the Kids” will benefit the 20/20 in the 20th Anniversary Campaign to complete the third operating room at the hospital’s surgery center to include an ophthalmology specialty. The goal this year is to raise $900,000, which will outfit the operating room with much needed surgical equipment necessary for specific intra-ocular procedures. It will also help fund the P.A.P.I. (indigent care) pro-

gram. The goal is to restore 20/20 eyesight to children with vision disorders, who are blind, or who will go needlessly blind because they are poor. The Foundation for the Children of the Californias is a tri-national collaboration of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, endeavoring to improve the health and nutrition for the children of the California and Mexico border “mega-region” through the operation of the Hospital Infantil de las Californias. This specialty medical and education complex is next to the border (a halfmile into Baja California, Mexico). No child is turned away for inability to pay. Concert doors open at 4 p.m. at the Santaluz Club, 8170 Caminito Santaluz East, San Diego. Food stations and silent auction also opens. At 7:45 p.m. the live auction begins.

Fair Trade DĂŠcor proud to be part of trade federation protecting artisans â&#x20AC;˘ DM shop scheduling October events to increase awareness, promote wares BY KRISTINA HOUCK From hand-woven baskets to handmade soap, every item in Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair Trade DĂŠcor has a story. In an effort to share those stories with as many people as possible, owners Betsy and Jude Paganelli of Carmel Valley opened their shop a year and a half ago at 1412 Camino del Mar in Del Mar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a store, museum and a library,â&#x20AC;? said Betsy, a former special-needs elementary school teacher in Solana Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just enjoy being around all of these beautiful, handmade products and learning the stories behind them ...â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;... and sharing the stories with people,â&#x20AC;? finished Jude, a biomedical engineer. Adhering to fair trade principles such as fair pay, safe working conditions and ecofriendliness, the husband-and-wife duo previously sold fair trade products at farmers markets for two years. Happy with the response from customers, the couple opened their shop, which Betsy noted is San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 100 percent fair trade store. About six months after opening its doors, Fair Trade DĂŠcor became the first retail store in the county to receive membership in the Fair Trade Federation, a trade association that strengthens and promotes North American organizations fully committed to fair trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make sure the artisans are really getting paid fair wages,â&#x20AC;? Betsy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel to all those countries and meet the artisans face to face, so I need an organization to help me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also tells the customer what we stand for,â&#x20AC;? added Jude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It validates what fair trade means to us.â&#x20AC;? From artwork to pillows, Fair Trade DĂŠcor now sells items from 43 countries. The couple choose the products they sell by purchasing online and visiting international trade shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shortage of fair trade retail in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? Jude said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair trade doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t benefit the artists if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no place to sell the product.â&#x20AC;? Added Betsy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about giving people an opportunity to help themselves through their crafts.â&#x20AC;? With Fair Trade Month around the corner, Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair Trade DĂŠcor has scheduled a number of free events for October. Fair Trade DĂŠcor hosts a drum circle from 7-9 p.m. every first and third Sunday. Led by JoĂŁo Vincient Lewis, director of Hands On World Music and leader of the Carlsbad Beach Drum Circle, this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drum circle takes place Oct. 5 and 19. Other events include an alebrije painting demonstration featuring two painters from Oaxaca, Mexico, from noon to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4. The San Diegobased Paul Cannon Band will visit the shop from 7-9 p.m. Oct. 23. And local resident Emily Moberly will stop by from 1-2:30 p.m. Oct. 26. Moberly is the founder of Traveling Stories, a nonprofit that promotes literacy.

a developmental process. The two quotes that most resonate with me at this point in time are: “There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night” by Albert Camus, and given my new position at the San Diego Center for Chil-

dren, I have been thinking a great deal about Walt Disney’s words, “Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.” What would be your dream vacation? I love traveling, exploring new cultures and retracing the sites where history has been made. I also love

to visit locations where nature leaves you speechless. My vacation dreams are many and include spending two or three weeks immersing myself in a city or a country, its peoples and traditions to be able to truly get a feel for what our sameness and differences are. I would like our next adventure to take us to Africa.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

Ford 2013 Escape Recall Information: Consumer Info & Recommended Steps Owners of the latest 2013 Ford Escape crossovers are urged to take the next steps to prevent accident and injury following the automaker’s latest recall. According to New York Times, Ford is recalling about 140,000 vehicles in the United States because of a potential ﬁre hazard. The manufacturer has indicated the Escape’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine may be to blame for 13 recent auto ﬁres that prompted the recall. Other export markets including Canada may also be affected. According to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, an additional 21,000 cars are being recalled internationally in addition to the recall in the U.S.

Ford explained the recall was voluntarily issued due to concerns over cracks in the engine during possible overheating of the cylinder head. Cracking could lead to leaked oil and a possible fire in the presence of highheat surfaces. Although no personal injury has been reported, 13 vehicles were ignited into flames after suspected cracking within the engine components. Ford aims to fix the problem by enhancing “the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.” Owners of all 2013 Ford Escapes are urged to visit an authorized dealer to inquire on recall repairs. According the auto manufacturer’s site, some 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes thought to have undergone repair may still produce fuel leaks which could pose a fire hazard. An additional 2,300 vehicles in Canadian and export markets are additionally recalled. More information on the recall can be found here. NEXT STEPS: STAY SAFE & FOLLOW UP ON RECALL REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY Ford says the recall is voluntary, but that’s not to be confused with voluntary repair. In this sense, Ford’s voluntary recall means

the company was not forced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue the recall. All consumers, however, should know that recall repairs are urged to be completed as soon as possible and are therefore not voluntary. To ensure your safety, please make sure to: 1. Contact Ford Immediately If you’re at all unsure whether your vehicle is affected, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and provide your Vehicle Identification Number to receive more information. Alternatively, Ford owners can log onto http://FordOwner.com or by clicking here to find recall information. 2. Schedule Repairs To avoid any risk of fires, you must complete your repairs as quickly as possible. Most authorized Ford dealerships or repair stations will complete your recall repair free of charge. It’s important to contact Ford to find out which locations can service your vehicle for free. 3. Report Any Additional Problems Consumers should notify the auto manufacturer when any additional problems arise. Even if the issue is small – say, loose hubcaps or a trunk that won’t stay shut – it’s

important to report the malfunction right away. Lives are saved when consumers are proactive. 4. Register Your Vehicle for Future Recalls Owners of Ford vehicles and all other manufacturers are urged to register their vehicles and other commonly used household items, equipment or machinery at Recalls. gov. Benefits of registering include quick notification in the event of new or additional recalls, ongoing updates and any additional information pertaining to relevant recalls. Consumers can even register to receive recall information about foods, medicines, toys, furniture, personal care, cosmetics and other consumer products.

Fearless baking tips for fall (Part 1) The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As autumn breezes in, my culinary gears automatically shift full-throttle into baking mode. For some strange reason even competent cooks are fearful of baking, which is really much simpler than cooking. The latter is like jazz, a type of improvisation, a pinch of this, a drizzle of that, allowing much leeway for creative freedom and forgiveness for error. Baking, on the other hand, is a symphony; the music must be read precisely, the maestroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visible gestures followed exactly, with

no room for individual expression, like blindly following a recipe. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to crank up the ovens, pull out the mix masters, cookie sheets and loaf pans, round up the fall spices and perfume your home with aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom. Your baking fears will now be allayed, your questions answered. Can I substitute baking soda for baking powder? While both powdery white substances are leavening agents to make your assorted baked goods rise by a chemical reaction that creates bubbles of carbon dioxide, the two are not interchangeable. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a pure base. As such, it needs to combine with an acid like buttermilk to counter the acerbic taste. Since the chemical reaction is an immediate one, doughs and batters need to be baked pronto, or the baking soda wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any leavening effects. Pancakes, anyone? Baking powder is a hybrid, both an acid and a

tunein

base, blending sodium bicarbonate with cream of tartar and cornstarch, yielding a neutral taste. It is usually used in recipes with other neutral-tasting ingredients like milk. While baking powder can be substituted for baking soda, (although you will have to add more), you cannot switch baking soda for baking powder. Homemade baking powder can be easily concocted by combining two parts of cream of tartar with one part of baking soda. One last recommendation: buy aluminum-free baking powder. How can I soften butter so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier when creaming with sugar? For those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait till it softens at room temperature, cut butter in cubes in a mixing bowl, or pound in a zip bag with a rolling pin. If you have a double boiler, put some boiling water in the bottom, the butter on top, and heat gently until softened. Resist the microwave, as it tends to make butter too runny.

them? Toasting nuts will dial up the earthy, rich flavor and play down the bitterness, while enhancing the crunch factor in quick breads, cakes and cookies. Rich in fatty acids, they tend to burn quickly, so keep a watchful eye. Layer them on a cookie sheet, single-file and bake at 325-degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan a couple of times to prevent burning. When they are golden and start to perfume your kitchen, remove nuts from the oven. Transfer to a cool surface immediately to prevent further browning. How can I tell when my cake is done? Most bakers do the toothpick test, inserting it in the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean and dry except for a few clinging crumbs, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. Other tell-tales signs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if the cake edges start to separate from the pan, or if the center is firm and springy to the touch. Finally, you can take the cakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperature. When it reaches 210 degrees F. in the center, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready.

Fearless Carrot Cake For the Cake 2 cups grated carrots 2 cups brown sugar 2 cups unbleached flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt, Greek style 1 cup canola or grapeseed oil 1 cup toasted, chopped pecans 1/2 cup golden raisins 1 tablespoon cinnamon Pinch of salt, nutmeg and ginger powder

For the Cream Cheese Frosting 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter 8 ounces cream cheese 1/2 cup powdered sugar Method: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a rectangular baking pan (8x 12). Set aside. In a food processor or bowl of an electric mixer, combine sugar, oil, yoghurt and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients, and blend with the wet ones. Pour into baking pan
