Fires spread through local areas BY CITY NEWS SEVRICE Taking advantage of slackening winds overnight, fire crews May 14 (presstime for this newspaper) reported 25 percent containment of the wildfire that charred 1,584 acres of brush west of Black Mountain — up from 5 percent. However, at presstime for this newspaper on May 14, a wind-driven brush

fire burned homes and parkland in Carlsbad just south of McClellan-Palomar Airport, forcing evacuations of residents, three nearby schools and the Legoland amusement park. The Carlsbad blaze broke out for unknown reasons around 10:40 a.m. near Poinsettia Lane and Alicante Road, just east of El Camino Real. Winds quickly pushed the flames west toward

neighborhoods and some high-tech businesses. Multiple homes had caught fire by 12:30 p.m., according to reports from the scene, while also indicated that flames damaged Aviara Community Park. The first fire, the Bernardo Fire, erupted around 11 a.m. May 13 off Nighthawk Lane, southwest of

Feedback sought on planned parking garage at DM Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Highlands Town Center continues to solicit feedback on its new parking garage. Construction on the parking garage is scheduled to begin in the fall. The new three-story garage is planned for the back of the center on Townsgate Drive, along with an expanded Cinepolis and a new KinderCare building. (Del Mar Highlands Town Center was entitled to 425,000 square feet of retail space in the late 1980s, but only 283,000 square feet has been developed on the space.) All of the center’s businesses will remain open during the yearlong construc-

Community celebrates grand opening of San Dieguito River Park’s Birdwing Open Air Classroom BY KRISTINA HOUCK Elected officials and community members gathered May 13 to celebrate the grand opening of the new Birdwing Open Air Classroom along the San Dieguito Lagoon. The San Dieguito River Park’s 80-seat amphitheater features rows of concrete benches covered by panels of perforated stainless steel. The outdoor facility overlooks scenic views of the carefully restored wetlands. “This open air classroom is truly an asset for all San Diego County residents and visitors,” said San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts, who serves as chairman of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority. “It’s an education center located in the heart

Elected officials and community members gathered May 13 to celebrate the grand opening of the new Birdwing Open Air Classroom along the San Dieguito Lagoon. Photo/ Kristina Houck of a living laboratory, the San Dieguito Lagoon.” The roughly $500,000 classroom was constructed with a $340,000 grant from the county, which kicked off the project. The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, a non-

profit organization that supports the River Park and education, raised more than $170,000 in donations. “It’s a great accomplishment to restore this rare habitat of the lagoon, but you can’t stop there,” said Dick Bobertz, executive director of the San Dieguito River Park. “You’ve got to provide opportunities for people to interact with that environment, to appreciate the value of our natural environment. That’s what this project allows us to do.” The grand opening event was held during Lagoon Days, an annual three-day event when 600 third-grade students from Del Mar visit the San Dieguito Lagoon to learn about the environment, including coastal wildlife and native plants. Students participated in a variety of hands-on activities, viewing plants and wildlife through binoculars and magnifying glasses, writing haikus and creating nature-inspired art. “This is a visionary classroom that we wanted to make available for the public and for the children, for anyone who really wants to come and enjoy what we have to offer here,” said former Supervisor Pam Slater-Price. Managed by the San Dieguito River Park, the venue will also be available for public events through a permit process. A variety of free public activities and events are already scheduled every weekend through July. For more information about the classroom and upcoming events, visit www.sdrp.org.

Carmel Valley dentist replaces Del Mar National Little League’s stolen equipment By Kristina Houck A week after two pitching machines were stolen from the Del Mar National Little League, Carmel Valley-based The Super Dentists has stepped up to purchase new equipment for the nonprofit. “We are truly grateful for the generous donation,” said Jeffrey Bernstein, president of the Del Mar National Little League. “They stepped in to save the day!” The equipment was reportedly stolen around May 1 from a shed at Sage Canyon School in Carmel Valley. Valued at $1,000 each, the machines are mainly used for the

league’s Machine Pitch division, which includes boys 7-9 years old. The machines are also used during player evaluations in January. “They’re used every day for practice during the week and on Saturday for games,” Bernstein said. “It was very disheartening to see this happen. It’s never happened before, especially in our community.” In 2013, the Del Mar Little League split into two new leagues. The Del Mar National Little League serves about 350 children in Carmel Valley, south of State Route 56. The Del Mar American Little League serves Del Mar and Carmel Val-

ley, north of SR-56. The Del Mar National Little League filed an online police report May 2. During the last week, the league had to borrow one of Del Mar American Little League’s pitching machines. To commemorate The Super Dentists’ donation, representatives from the company will throw a ceremonial first pitch during the Machine Pitch game on May 17. The game starts at 9:30 a.m. at Sage Canyon Small Field West. For more information about the Del Mar National Little League, visit delmarnational.org.

DM Fairgrounds board approves sale Solana Beach School District recognizes 2014 Inspiration Award recipients of local food and beverage contractor Student Skyline School Once a year, Solana Beach School Dis-

BY JOE TASH Directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds, gave their blessing Tuesday, May 13, to a deal in which a Pennsylvaniabased company will buy a locally-owned business that has provided food and beverage service at the fairgrounds since 1990. The 22nd DAA board had to approve the deal because Premier Food Services Inc. — which will be purchased by SMG Corp. — has an exclusive contract as the fairgrounds food and beverage provider. The board voted 5-0 to approve the deal with two conditions — that SMG not change food and beverage management personnel without district approval; and that the company increase its performance bond to $1 million for the life of the contract. Fairgrounds general manger Tim Fennell had recommended approval of the stock purchase. Premier, soon to be SMG, provides food and beverage service at fairground events throughout the year, including the San Diego County Fair and the annual horse racing season, which will expand this year to a fall meet as well as the traditional summer meet. SMG manages stadiums, convention centers, arenas and other facilities across the U.S. and abroad, including the Louisiana Superdome, the Long Beach Convention Center and Moscone Center in San Francisco. The 22nd DAA’s current food and beverage contract runs through the end of 2015, and the agreement includes two three-year renewal options. Last year, Premier generated revenue of $19.9 million at the fairgrounds, and a return of $5.6 million for the fairgrounds. Director David Watson said the board will be keeping a close eye on the new company’s performance in the coming months. “You have 18 months to prove yourselves,� he said, before the board considers an extension of the contract. “We see this as an opportunity to earn your business each day,� said Shaun Beard, senior vice president with Savor Food and Beverage Services, a subsidiary of SMG. Mark Anderson, Premier’s onsite manager since 1990, will retain his position under the new ownership. SMG will also retain Premier’s workforce. Among the speakers at Tuesday’s meeting was Efaon Cobb, in-house counsel with Local 30 of the San Diego County Hotel and Food Service Workers’ Union, which represents food service workers at the fairgrounds. Cobb supported the ownership change. No member of the public spoke against the purchase. Board members and fairgrounds officials said Premier has provided quality service to the fairgrounds over the past two-plus decades. “It’s been a great marriage to say the least,� said director Lisa Barkett.

Local resident brings professional tennis back to area with the San Diego Aviators BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Russell Geyser is bringing professional tennis back to Southern California with the San Diego Aviators. The Aviators are a part of the Mylan World TeamTennis League, co-founded by Billie Jean King in 1974. King, the legendary tennis player who won 39 Grand Slam singles including a record 20 titles at Wimbledon, appeared at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa on May 5 for Geyser’s press conference to announce that “the Aviators have landed.” The Aviators will have a compact but exciting threeweek season starting July 7 against the Austin Aces, a team that features former professional tennis player Andy Roddick. All 14 regular season matches will be played at the Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena). “It’s very important to me, personally, that there’s a team in Southern California and San Diego couldn’t be any better,” King said. “There’s no reason the city can’t have a successful team. This is the only professional tennis you will have in this area and we hope people will come and support it…We think San Diego will just love it. Your team is amazing.” At various times in the past, San Diego has had a professional tennis presence — from 1975-78 the city was home to the World TeamTennis Friars and, in 1981-85, the Buds played here. Geyser said he chased hard to bring tennis back to the city, purchasing the team in early 2014, encouraged by his close friend Lorne Abony who owns the Austin Aces — Abony moved the Aces to Texas last year from Orange County. Geyser is the founder of Geyser Holdings, an early stage venture capital, deal syndication and real estate acquisition firm. He is also a film and television producer and co-founder of an athletic apparel company, Ballstreet. For the last six years he has been the lead sponsor for the SES Tennis Chapter that benefits kids in Tecate, Mexico. Tennis has long been his passion. In purchasing the team, he knew he was getting a team without players but he reached out to a number of tennis re-

San Diego Aviators owner Russell Geyser with Mylan World TeamTennis CEO Ilana Kloss (left) and league co-founder Billie Jean King (right). Photo by Karen Billing lationships he had and was able to recruit and build an “incredibly strong team.” “The most important thing I can say about World TeamTennis and the owners like Russell is they want to win and the players want to win. It really is about competition, this is not an exhibition,” said Ilana Kloss, the CEO of Mylan World TeamTennis. The Aviators bring together marquee players, such as the Bryan brothers Bob and Mike, who have amassed 98 team titles and an all-time record 15 Grand Slam titles, as well as four-time Grand Slam champion Daniela Hantuchova, a Slovakian tennis player who is ranked 30th in singles and 55 in doubles in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and has 33 top 10 singles wins. The three-time Olympian has beaten nearly all of the top players in the sport, including Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova and Serena and Venus Williams. The Aviators are rounded out by the number one singles player from India, Somdev Devvarman, who won back-to-back NCAA titles while competing for the University of Vir-

ginia; Raven Klaasen, a South African tennis player ranked 30th in doubles; and Kveta Peschke, who has won 26 career WTA doubles titles and one singles title, currently ranked number 10 in WTA doubles. “I think Russell has done an amazing job of drafting a high-quality team with a lot of experience,” said Kloss. “They have the potential to win the conference this year.” “With your players, you have a good chance (to win the championship),” King said. “Your team is kind of the envy of the league.” Geyser said convincing players to come live and play in San Diego in July was not a hard sell. Team matches include five sets with one set each of men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. The first team to five games wins each set. One point is awarded for each game won and a nine-point tiebreaker is played if the set is tied at four-all. Geyser said the Valley View venue offers a great setting to watch the matchSee TENNIS, page 16

Authorities arrest 20 North County residents on drug and weapon charges in ‘Operation Poseidon’ Authorities arrested 20 North County residents on drug and weapon charges during a warrant sweep and search warrant service conducted on May 7 and 8. Dubbed “Operation Poseidon,” approximately 50 deputies and federal agents from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Violent Trafficking Team conducted most of the arrests in the greater Encinitas and Del Mar areas of San Diego County. During the operation, authorities seized nearly 16 pounds of methamphetamine, almost 7 pounds of heroin, more than 10 pounds of cocaine, 130 tablets of Xanax and 15 tabs of LSD were purchased and/or seized. While serving the arrest and search warrants, deputies and DEA agents seized additional narcotics and almost $40,000 in cash. — Submitted press release

To Your Health: Injured? Don’t ‘Tough It Out’ By Arnold Cuenca, D.O., Scripps Health It’s been a few days since your last run, and that twinge in your knee still hasn’t gone away. Or maybe you took a blow to the head while surfing, but you don’t think it’s anything to worry abut. It’s common for men — especially weekend warriors who try to get in as much playtime as possible before the workweek starts — to “tough out” the dis-

comfort of an injury rather than get it checked by a physician. That’s usually a bad idea. Common sports-related injuries include stress fractures, muscle sprains and strains, head injuries and lacerations. While many of these seem like they can be treated at home, it can be difficult to tell how serious an injury really is. By delaying needed treatment,

you’re much more likely to end up with complications or a chronic condition. Stress fractures occur over time from repeated stress on the bone, such as from running or basketball, and most often affect the feet or legs. Stress fractures may not cause pain at first; however, as the fracture becomes more severe, the pain may increase every time weight is placed on the injured bone, and the area may become swollen. Though rest is usually the main treatment for stress fractures, they should be diagnosed by a physician to ensure there is nothing else going on with the bone or surrounding tissue. Sprains are often confused with strains, but they are different injuries. A sprain occurs when a ligament, a band of connective tissue that joins one end of a bone to another, is stretched or torn. Sprains can range from a minimal stretch to a complete tear, and are characterized by tenderness or pain, bruising and swelling. Sprains often cause instability or immobility in the affected area as well. Unless a sprain is minimal, it’s a good idea to get medical attention. You can’t always tell right away if an ankle, for example, is sprained or actually broken, and the sooner a broken bone is set, the more likely it is to heal correctly without complications. Even if there is no break, severely stretched or torn ligaments may heal more quickly if they are immobilized or supported with the proper brace. A strain is a pull or tear of a muscle or a tendon that connects muscle to bone. Strains are usually caused by overstretching; symptoms include pain, muscle spasm, and weakness. If your symptoms are

Wine spritzer gets ‘Shark Tank’ investment BY KATHERINE POYTHRESS, SPECIAL TO THE CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, DEL MAR TIMES, SOLANA BEACH SUN Bon Affair founder Jayla Siciliano of Solana Beach wants her customers to have it all: Alcohol on Thursday night, and waking up feeling refreshed Friday morning. She believes her wine spritzers infused with electrolytes are the secret elixir to that ability to socialize longer and still feel great the next day, and at least one shark does, too. Shark investor Mark Cuban, that is, who has also invested in San Diego-based Tower Paddle Boards. Siciliano presented her $15 bottles of all-natural Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah spritzers on ABC’s high-pressure pitch show “Shark Tank” in an episode that aired May 9, and left with exactly what she wanted: a $150,000 investment, which Cuban gave in exchange for a 35 percent stake in her company. Other sharks, including wine connoisseur Kevin O’Leary, thought her business, which floundered in early months because of problems with a bottler, was too risky. O’Leary said Bon Affair’s $11,000 in sales for a six-week period is a long way from the $10 million in sales the company would need for a potential acquisition by one of the bigger alcohol companies. Even though he wasn’t interested in investing, he suggested Siciliano sell to Costco, one of the world’s largest purchasers of wine. “You’re in a difficult situation because you’ve taken down a lot of investor dollars to try and build a whole new category in the wine business, but I think you’ve got a tough road ahead,” he told her. “I never give advice, but I know this space very well. Go do that, and good luck.” As with most entrepreneurs who appear on the show, it wasn’t the first time Siciliano had shared her idea with potential investors. She raised about $500,000 in 2012 to start production, but lost 90 percent of her first run because of leaky bottle caps. After raising another $200,000, she began selling the spritzers at retail in August 2013, and now is in about a dozen Whole Foods Markets from Los Angeles to San Diego, along with several Albertsons and a few smaller stores. With a growing body of

research that shows alcohol in moderation can be good for us, Siciliano’s healthy wine drink is just different enough to attract investments from people like Cuban and former Wendy’s CEO Kerrii Anderson. Siciliano came up with the idea several years ago when managing products for the Diesel clothing company and then for Burton Snowboards in Burlington, Vt. “I’ve always been really into health and fitness, but at the same time I love having fun and love to drink wine,” she said. But she struggled with the fact that every work event seemed to center on alcohol. “I just reached a certain age where I couldn’t still go out drinking and wake up and go do yoga at 6:30 a.m.,” she said. That’s when she started pouring soda water in her wine. She could sip it all night and still feel good the next morning. The idea caught on not only among her female colleagues, but the men, too. “It was when I saw a bunch of my guy friends drinking wine spritzers, that it hit me that the alcohol industry was missing something.” She quit her job in 2009 to pursue her business idea. She continued doing contract work on the side, but also enrolled in the MBA program at the University of San Diego. By 2012, she had burned through her savings, 401-k and credit cards and realized she needed to raise money if she was ever going to get her product on the shelf. Anderson says she was attracted to Siciliano’s passion, but what really sold her on Bon Affair was the fact that it’s a product made by a woman to give professional women another tool for operating socially in the business world. “I was just really drawn to the ability to participate responsibly, having some alternative that is less alcoholic and less caloric,” Anderson said. “Given our focus on eating healthier and better, it was so on trend for me, and I related to it personally.” Siciliano has several things going for her: An increased desire among consumers for healthier alcoholic beverages, and a growing interest in both sparkling wines and domestic wines. The charge for healthier alcoholic beverages has been led by the likes of Beam Suntory’s low-calorie cocktail brand Skinnygirl, which experienced a nearly 400 percent sales boom in 2011 before slowing to 19 percent growth in 2012. Champagne and sparkling wine are also gaining traction among consumers. Market research company Mintel reports sparkling wine sales grew 9 percent in 2013, outperforming overall wine sales in the $41.5 billion market. And wine drinkers are turning more to domestic vintages, Mintel says. Still, Cuban took a ribbing from fellow sharks for his investment. “You’re going to regret that one, man,” said Daymond John. “We’ll find out, right?” countered Cuban, who said it’s minimal risk for potentially huge reward. “It’s not like I’m spending $10 million. This is an option on a big business. If it works, it’s worth a lot of money. If it doesn’t, I’m out time and $150,000.”

Local mom heads top fundraising team in Miracle Babies 5K BY KRISTINA HOUCK A mother of two, Cami Rosso knows first-hand about the danger of high-risk pregnancies. Her oldest son spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit, and her youngest son was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. “We’re very fortunate that we can afford to have good care,” said Rosso, who moved with her family to Rancho Santa Fe from Del Mar two years ago. “There are other families with preterm babies and critically-ill babies who can’t afford good care. The thought of that is heartbreaking.” To support families with babies in the NICU, Rosso headed “Team M” in the sixth annual Miracle Babies 5K May 4 at San Diego’s Embarcadero Marina Park. It was Rosso’s first time participating in the event. As team captain, she led nearly 50 members. Team M raised more than $18,000, becoming the top fundraising team for the event. “It was the most phenomenal experience,” Rosso said. “A majority of our team members are mothers. They’re caring and kind and generous. It was so beautiful to share something like this. It was very moving.” Miracle Babies is a nonprofit organization that provides support and financial assistance to families with critically-ill newborns in the NICU, as well as enhance the well being of women, children and their families through education, prevention and medical care. Dr. Sean Daneshmand — who delivered both of Rosso’s children — founded the organization with his wife, Marjan, in 2009.

Their daughter Natalie was born six weeks premature in December 2002. “On many levels, this is very personal,” Rosso said. “I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Sean Daneshmand for bringing my two children into this world safely. My heart also goes out to families in need. I want to help them.” In addition to helping Miracle Babies, Team M also helped Rosso accomplish a personal goal. Rosso has a dream to one day climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and reach the peak of the 19,341-foot mountain. But because of a heart condition, her dream may never come to fruition. “The members of Team M — each and every one of them — are true beauties,” said Rosso with tears in her eyes. “Nobody knew this, but they helped me achieve my dream. It was my summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.” With a master’s in business from IMD business school in Switzerland and a certificate in marketing innovative technologies from Harvard Business School’s Executive Education program, Rosso previously worked as the CEO of three start-up companies. After the birth of her second son, Louis, or “Louie,” Rosso left the business world to be a full-time stay-at-home mom. Louie is now 3 years old, and Cameron recently celebrated his 5th birthday. Also a model for fashion apparel and consumer products, Rosso is a founding member of Miracle Babies’ Miracle Circle, a member of Las Damas de Fairbanks and a member of Rancho Santa Fe Community Center’s Moms and Tots group. With the 5K over, Rosso is now looking forward to attending Miracle Babies’ Casino

Expert discusses advances in methods to distinguish between authentic and fake art BY DIANE Y. WELCH Authenticating works of art, and sometimes revealing fakes, sounds like the basis for a dramatic movie plot. For Florence native Maurizio Seracini, it’s his business. Through his company Great Masters Art Authentication, LLC, Seracini – a scientist and art expert – analyzes paintings and architecture using state-of-the art technology to not only distinguish the genuine from the fake, but to also show iterations that a work of art or a building often undergoes. On Thursday April 30, Seracini gave an informative presentation on these findings at Rancho Santa Fe’s The Village Church as guest lecturer in the Village Viewpoints series (presented by the Village Church and Rancho Santa Fe Foundation). Seracini focused on Renaissance masterpieces by Da Vinci, his “ Adoration of the Magi� and “The Last Supper,� and Botticelli’s “Allegory of Spring� illustrating graphically how much is hidden under the surface. Using multi-spectral diagnostic imaging artworks reveal secrets not apparent to the naked eye. In many cases, the artists’ under-drawings are visible providing clues to his creative process, explained Seracini. “This technology can change not only our understanding, but especially our appreciation, of these masterpieces,� said Seracini in an interview after the presentation. It can also reveal forgeries or how much restoration has been done and what has been lost in the process. “Maurizio was able to show that oftentimes restorers change the painting so that portions of the original artwork are replaced with other images,� said Paige Vanosky, who attended the lecture and is co-chair of the Viewpoint’s program. “When they do keep the original art often the same paint hue isn’t used, and coatings used to preserve the work often change the colors that eat into the art,� she added. There were over 20 Advance Placement art history students from Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) in the Viewpoints audience. “They told me afterward that Maurizio’s presentation greatly enhanced their perception of the artists and the work that they were studying in class, and that they were going to dig deeper into it,� said Vanosky. Seracini sees his relationship with his student audienc-

A week after his Viewpoints presentation Seracini gave a lecture in CCA’s Proscenium Theatre. He was invited to speak by twin sophomore students Ava and Julia Domann who introduced him. In part of this lecture Seracini showed the latest technology of soft-touch pressure tablets where an art or architectural image may be touched by finger pressure to erase the upper layers to reveal the secrets beneath. “Rather than being a passive viewer you can now appreciate and understand the art first hand as it was created,� he told students. Since the mid-1970s, Seracini has pioneered the science of art diagnostics, employing a

wide array of technologies more common in the biomedical field. That’s when he began the “Leonardo Project� to locate Da Vinci’s long-lost fresco “The Battle of Anghiari,� an endeavor that still remains a personal passion. This treasure hunt has been temporarily halted by the City of Florence where the famed fresco is purported to be hidden in one of the interior walls of the Hall of 500 in the Palazzo Vecchio. “It is so important that we continue to search for this ultimate icon as it is the most important masterpiece ever conceived by Da Vinci. It is an absolute symbol of beauty and is the highest expression of his genius,� said Seracini. A world traveler, with strong ties to San Diego, Seracini has taught audiences from kindergartners to adults. His lectures to children are a way “to generate some sparks in their mind, to feed their imagination, to raise their curiosity� he said. “It’s rewarding for me, more than you might think.� On the broader spec-

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s 2013 Youth of the Year, Daisy Aguilar, receives prestigious Gates Millennium College Scholarship The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s 2013 Overall Youth of the Year, Daisy Aguilar, just announced she is a recipient of the prestigious Gates Millennium Scholarship (GMS) Award. With this scholarship, Daisy will be able to attend the University of San Diego, her first choice out of nine universities she received acceptance letters from. The scholarship provides full funding for Daisy’s education in any discipline area of study she chooses to pursue. Gates Millennium Scholars who choose to continue their education beyond a bachelors may request funding for a graduate degree program in one of the following discipline areas: computer science, education, engineering, library science, mathematics, public health or science. In addition, the scholarship pays for any study abroad expenses she incurs. Only 1,000 high school seniors receive this scholarship each year, (20 from each 50 states). Daisy was one of five chosen from San Diego. Over 52,000 applicants applied this year which puts Daisy in the 2 percent of students who received the award. The Gates Millennium Scholarship award is funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation back in 1999. In order to meet the requirements for the scholarship, applicants must be of one or more of the following ethnicities: African American, American Indian - Alaska Native, Asian Pacific Islander American, or Hispanic American and with at least a 3.3 minimum grade point average. After meeting these requirements, an intensive application and interview process is also involved. “My life has changed dramatically in the past three weeks since I have finally committed to my top school, USD, and I am ecstatic to be a Torero”, said Daisy. “There’s nothing better than sharing the joy of this blessing than with the organization that supported me throughout my life. My Boys & Girls Club family was the first to contact me and congratulate me on this award. I could hear all of the staff on speakerphone screaming and shouting while I cried

Daisy Aguilar on the other end. My love for them grows each day and I am lucky to have the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito in my life. Great futures really do start here!” Daisy will be the first in her family to attend college and plans to double major in business and sociology and obtain her minor in non profit management.

3PML7YV -PUHUJPHS :LY]PJLZ 0U ;OL :WV[SPNO[ MVY 9V[HY` ,[OPJZ (^HYKZ The Rotary Club of Del Mar is pioneering a new program, the “4-Way Ethics in Business Awards”, to recognize and promote the businesses that share the same values that Rotarians uphold for honest, professional and moral service. Each week, Del Mar Rotarians gather for lunch and recite their “Four Way Test”, which includes the questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial for all concerned? A business that considers these types of questions in their daily decisions is rare. As part of its “4-Way Ethics in Business Awards” program, the Rotary Club of Del Mar will select one business a month that applies these principles of ethical conduct in all its affairs. LifePro Financial Services, Inc., a premier distributor of life, annuity, and long-term care insurance products nationwide, exemplifies such “4-Way Ethical” conduct and therefore was chosen as the club’s first spotlight company. Bill Zimmerman, LifePro CEO, states, “Our core values are our cornerstone.” He went on to explain that LifePro has created 12 core values the organization relies upon. These values are practiced on a daily basis. Whenever a new program, product, challenge, or partnership opportunity is evaluated, LifePro conducts a thorough values assessment to ensure that all parties will benefit from each corresponding decision. The LifePro culture and its values are woven to the degree that every conversation is processed through its 12 values framework. It is based on this foundation that LifePro has built a first-class, profitable organization. LifePro Financial Services, Inc. is located at 11512 El Camino Real, Suite 100 in Carmel Valley and the website is www.lifepro.com. The Del Mar Rotary club wants to thank LifePro for their participation and the awards program sponsors, Steigerwald-Dougherty Inc. and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, for their involvement, support and time to help promote ethical business in our community. If you have a business, or know of a business, you’d like to nominate for an award, please email eba2014@delmarrotaryeba.com. Visit www.delmarrotaryeba.com for more information, to download an application or to read more about LifePro’s ethical conduct. If you’re interested in Rotary, please visit http://www.delmarrotary.org and join the club on a Thursday for lunch.

Torrey Pines robotics team gives demonstration for children at Casa de Amistad in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Children “ooed” and “awed” as a remote-controlled robot circled the floor at Casa de Amistad during a May 6 demonstration by the Torrey Pines High School Robotics Team. Team 3647, also known as the “Millennium Falcons,” showed the mostly kindergartners through sixth graders its robot, which made it to the semi-finals of the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition in San Diego County. In the annual event, teams are tasked with designing and building a robot that will compete in a specific task. In this year’s competition, teams created robots that worked in teams of three on a court where they passed a ball to one another, tossing it over a railing or into a goal for points. “Most kids don’t know that robotics is a thing you can do in high school,” said team president Ayesha Haque, a junior at Torrey Pines High School. “I want robotics to be as popular as the sports teams. This is a good time for children to be interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and academic extracurriculars, especially since we live in San Diego and there are a lot of businesses related to these fields.” It was the first time the club brought its robot to Casa de Amistad, a Solana Beach nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering education and character development for local Latino children. The organization offers an educational mentoring program for children in grades K-12.

Infant massage classes to be held at Solana Beach Library Infant massage is not only a fine way to spend time with your infant, but also to gently nurture your baby as well. Find out about the many benefits of infant massage and learn how to get started by attending a four-session class at the Solana Beach Library. The classes will meet Wednesdays from 9-10 a.m. beginning May 21. There is no charge or registration required for the classes which will be led by a certified infant massage provider from Children’s Care Connection (C3). The library location is 157 Stevens Ave; the phone is 858755-1404.

Currently incorporating more STEM-based activities into its programs, the organization invited the local club to talk with the children about robotics, share its studentmade robot and encourage kids with an interest in robotics to consider joining or creating a team. “Most of our kids come from underrepresented populations in those industries,” said Program Director Nicole Mione-Green. “We know that the future is in science, technology, engineering and math, so we want to expose our kids to those fields as early as possible.” Casa de Amistad started in 1997 as a Solana Beach Presbyterian Church outreach program. It became a nonprofit in 2001. The church still donates space for the program on its campus in Debin Hall. The organization’s roughly 125 volunteers currently serve about 160 students. There are 60 children on the waiting list, Mione-Green said. The organization is currently seeking volunteers, especially those with a background in science, technology, engineering and math. “We just want the kids to get excited about those academic areas and see what’s possible,” Mione-Green said.

HEALTH continued from page 6 anything but minor, don’t write it off. A severe strain that is not correctly treated by a medical professional can lead to long-term damage and loss of function. Sprain or strain, never try to “shake it off” or play through an injury. Pain is your body’s way of telling you to stop. Listen to the warning and you may avoid more serious problems later. Unless you are sure an injury doesn’t need treatment, it’s better to err on the side of caution and get a professional opinion. Always see a physician if a sprain or strain causes severe pain, swelling, or numbness, or you can’t put weight on the injured area. If you don’t have any of these symptoms, you may

be able to treat the injury at home with RICE: rest, elevation, compression and elevation. Ibuprofen can help with pain and swelling. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical care. Injuries to the head should almost always get medical attention, sooner rather than later. A blow to the head may seem like no big deal, but we are learning more every day about the debilitating long-term impact of concussions on brain function. If you are hit in the head, don’t be fooled into thinking you’re okay because you didn’t pass out. Contrary to popular belief, most people who suffer a concussion do not lose consciousness. There is no such thing as a “minor” concussion, and you should not try to determine the seriousness of your injury. Call a physician right away or go to a hospital emergency room for evaluation. Lacerations are another type of injury that is too easily ignored. Deep cuts may require stitches to stop bleeding, prevent infection and speed healing; a bandage won’t always do it. Plus, you may be due for a tetanus shot. Fortunately, most sports injuries can be treated effectively, and you should be able to return to your activities. By taking the right precautions, such as properly warming up, using safety equipment and not pushing too hard, you can help prevent injuries.

ART continued from page 8

Local transplant recipient will chair the 2014 San Diego Kidney Walk

trum Seracini sees his diagnostic technology for art as a tool to help understand humanity and preserve cultural values. And when this technology is used to authenticate masterpieces it can make an ethical stand against crime. “The sale of fine art is a huge business with large amounts of money passed from one hand to another based solely on the opinion of a scholar which is so surprising to me, yet it is trusted fully,” he commented. The next wave of technology in Seracini’s tool box of authentication includes how to date artworks through chemical analysis of the decaying process of the pigments used in the oil paints, a far more accurate process than current methods. “This can give objective refined answers to possible forgeries,” said Seracini. “I would strongly suggest for art owners to be aware that today it is not a matter of trust if you want to invest in art it is a matter of science,” he stressed.

Craig Ramseyer, of Carmel Valley, has been named the Corporate Chairman of the National Kidney Foundation’s San Diego Kidney Walk taking place May 18 at NTC Liberty Park. Ramseyer is a partner at Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch, LLP. As a kidney transplant recipient, Ramseyer has been a longtime board member and supporter of the NKF. Procopio Senior Counsel Katherine Knudsen, a fellow NKF board member and supporter, donated her kidney to Ramseyer in June 2009. The two first worked together in the late 1980s, and have been friends since, and have been working together for the last 11 years. “I am honored to lead this inspirational event, not only because of my personal connection to the cause, but because there are so many other San Diegans who are at risk of developing kidney disease,” said Ramseyer. “Each year this disease kills more people than breast and prostate

Craig Ramseyer with his family. cancer combined. By participating in the Kidney Walk, we’re all helping sound the alert about the public health problem of kidney disease and urging those at risk to get tested.” There are over 73 million Americans at risk of developing kidney disease. Those with diabetes, high blood pressure, age over 60 or a family history of kidney failure are more likely to develop kidney disease. Joining Ramseyer as this year’s Kidney Walk Grand Marshall is Assemblyman Brian Maienschein representing the 77th Assembly District. In addition to Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch, the Kidney Walk is also being sponsored by Dietz, Gilmor & Chazen. The Kidney Walk is the nation’s largest walk to fight kidney disease. Held in nearly 100 communities, the event raises awareness and funds lifesaving programs that educate and support patients, their families and those at risk. The walk will be held at NTC Liberty Station, Point Loma on May 18. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the walk starts at 9:30 a.m. To register for the event, call the National Kidney Foundation at 818-783-8153 or register your team online at www.kidneywalk.org.

PARKING continued from page 1 were going to be because she couldn’t see them. Schreiber said that is exactly the point — they will not be visible because of the elevation changes between the center at Townsgate at that location. The three levels will sit in the existing hole, bringing the top level of the garage to street level. The garage fronting Townsgate will also have trellises and landscaping, as well as multiple pedestrian access points to activate the back of the center. Making that Townsgate frontage walkable has long been a goal of the planning board, as the center sits within walking distance to community resources such as the Carmel Valley Library and the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, subcommittee co-chair Anne Harvey said. “(Townsgate) was supposed to be our ‘Main Street’ and it just hasn’t happened that way,” Harvey said. “Everybody built with their backs to it.” The 800-space garage will represent a net gain of 600 spaces and will hopefully provide some relief for

the busy center that has heard a number of complaints about a lack of parking. Schreiber said they have exhausted nearly every effort to make parking an easier experience at the Highlands, including reconfiguring and adding 200 spaces, short-term spaces, valet parking and shuttle service. Employees’ workplaces can even receive a $50 fine if employees aren’t parked in the right place. The hope is the second floor of the garage could be a place employees might park, which would free up a multitude of spots in the front of the center, she said. Board member Hollie Kahn expressed concern that the garage may not solve all of the center’s parking issues. She stated a “huge problem” exists over by Ralphs and the McDonald’s where it gets very backed-up and cars have to queue to get through. Schreiber acknowledged there is an issue in that area but she hopes people will be retrained on the different options available to them for parking. For example, if they’re going to Davanti Enoteca, they can park in the garage instead of in front of Ralphs. It will be

much easier to get around, she said. Neighbor Janette Littler also voiced concerns about the safety of the parking garage, noting she has heard that the back of the center is a hotspot for drug deals. Schreiber said they are working closely with the police on any reports of illegal activity and they are working to ensure that the garage will be well lit with lots of security cameras. Already they employ security patrolmen on Segways that can quickly get from point to point in the center to deal with any issue. “Security is highly important to us,” Schreiber said. Once the garage is complete in 2015, the center will begin its next phase of renovations that includes a new, larger Jimbo’s in KinderCare’s old location and a new two-story retail space replacing the natural foods store after it moves. To offer feedback to Del Mar Highlands on the next phase of renovation, such as what kind of retailers, services and amenities you would like to see, log on to s u r v e y m o n k e y. c o m / s / DMHTCSurvey.

several agencies involved in fighting the fire. Those agencies included San Diego police and fire, Cal Fire, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. On Tuesday, a total of 5,000 alerts in the county and 17,000 in the city of San Diego were sent to residents and business owners from Rancho Penasquitos to Rancho Santa Fe via texts, emails and phones calls, sheriff’s officials said. Some of those alerts were a warning, while others relayed mandatory evacuation orders. It was not immediately clear how many were evacuated but those who were, were invited to wait out the emergency at Torrey Pines High School and later, Rancho Bernardo High School. They were allowed back in their homes around 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 13. The cause of the Bernardo Fire was under investigation. At presstime for this newspaper, the Carlsbad fire was ongoing. The county of San Diego reported that more than 11,600 residences and businesses received reverse 9-1-1 calls urging the occupants to leave.

Taking aim at Alzheimer’s disease By Supervisor Dave Roberts The Board of Supervisors has taken aim at Alzheimer’s disease. The County of San Diego is the region’s largest provider of public health services, and by a 5-0 vote earlier this month, my colleagues and I agreed to confront Alzheimer’s disease, one of the region’s leading health issues. Chairwoman Dianne Jacob and I brought forward legislation to launch the Alzheimer’s Project. The Alzheimer’s Project involves: •Working closely with the Alzheimer’s Association to solicit guidance from research institutes and the private sector to build partnerships, seek funding and explore legislative actions. The Board of Supervisors will host a conference this fall to review the recommendations; •Engaging caregivers to develop a plan to improve our regional network of services. Caregivers will be important participants in our conference this fall; •Developing Alzheimer’s disease education and public awareness campaigns that identify early signs of Alzheimer’s disease; and •Certifying the Board of Supervisors’ support for the federal Alzheimer’s Ac-

countability Act and other legislation that increases funding for research and provides additional resources to caregivers, family members and patients. For me, this issue is personal — I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer’s disease. I remember my grandmother as outgoing and energetic. Over the course of several years, though, a cloud cover settled over her as the disease steadily robbed her of her memory. In varying degrees, almost all of us have been affected by the disease, as statistics from the Alzheimer’s Association show. The Association reports that Alzheimer’s disease is reaching epidemic proportions. It continues to escalate as our population ages. More than 60,000 local residents live with the disease and that figure is expected to double by 2030. According to the Association, the death rate from Alzheimer’s in San Diego County is among the highest in California and is the region’s third -leading cause of death. Also affected are caregivers. I am concerned about the demands placed upon caregivers. In San Diego County, 80 percent of pa-

Dave Roberts

tients are cared for at home by more than 150,000 family members. The cost of care can be staggering. If relatives cannot care for loved ones on their own, they face inevitable and inescapable costs for assisted care. Alzheimer’s disease bankrupts the mind and the pocketbook. The county is the one public agency above all others that is in the caregiver business. We must establish various kinds of caregiving help. At our meeting this month, Mary Ball, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association’s local chapter, told the Board of Supervisors that the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association is to go out of business. “With the county’s leadership,” Ms. Ball said, “we can make San Diego County a model for addressing Alzheimer’s disease.” Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

May Del Mar Mayor’s Message MAYOR’S VIEW Over the past few months, the City Council has been discussing, analyzing, and planning for a new City Hall/Civic Lee Haydu Center. A new City Del Mar Mayor Hall/Civic Center will be one of the City’s largest capital projects and will serve residents for decades to come. Therefore, it is important to me and the City Council that we seek and listen to community input during all aspects of this project. The preliminary planning process, which we’re doing now, has not happened overnight. Last summer, the City did an assessment of all the City facilities and determined the need to correct deficiencies and provide an adequate work environment for City Hall employees. This is similar to what was done previously for the Beach Safety Center; a systematic replacement of obsolete facilities that will improve functionality, efficiencies, and service to the community. Since September 2013, at each Council meeting we have discussed aspects of this project. In December 2013, we held a successful Community Workshop to get input on what residents wanted to see in a new City Hall or Civic Center. The workshop was very well attended and the feedback was used to craft a community survey that was distributed in January 2014. We were so pleased with the

high volume of responses to the survey. The responses have been extremely valuable for the City Council and staff as we continue the planning process. Recently, we have begun to analyze space considerations for City Hall administrative offices and a Town Hall. This will help craft cost estimates for the project. Defining the cost estimates, financing options, and project goals are integral to having a complete package that will allow the community to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the project and provide your input to the City Council to assist us in making a decision that meets the needs of the community. We know there are lots of good ideas in the community about what you want to see in a Civic Center that is comprised of City Hall administrative offices and a Town Hall, so the City Council has set a Community Forum at each Council meeting through June 16, 2014. The forum allows you to present your ideas or comments on previously presented ideas. Check upcoming Council meeting agendas for details. As we continue to gather information to help guide decisions for this project, we are planning another Community Workshop on June 9, 2014 to seek your feedback and input on the project. Visit www.delmar.ca.us/ cityhall for more information about the workshop. Following the Community Workshop, it is intended that the City Council will provide direction on how to solve the problem of inadequate City Hall facilities. There will be a lot of work in the future for the public and the City Council to

craft the details of what and how such a project will be implemented. Finally, as City staff continues to seek opportunities to better serve our residents, application submittals for Design Review Board (DRB) permits will be accepted by appointment only. The new appointment process will allow Planning Department staff to spend the necessary time with the project applicant and their application, eliminate applicants from waiting in line, and guarantee a member of the Planning staff at the appointed time. All other Planning applications will continue to be taken on a dropin basis at the Counter during regular counter hours (Mon-Thur from 1 p.m.5:30 p.m. and Fri 1 p.m. 4:30 p.m). This applies to DRB submittals only (and their associated requests such as a Coastal Development Permit, Land Conservation, Variance, etc.) and not to Administrative Design Review (ADR) permits or other permit submittals. To request an appointment for your DRB application, please send an email request to planningappointment@delmar.ca.us or call (858) 7559313 and an appointment will be scheduled for your meeting. Please include the project location, the applicant’s contact information, a brief description of the project, and any preferred days/times for an appointment (morning hours preferred). I’m so pleased to serve the residents of Del Mar and look forward to working with the City Council to implement your vision for our City!

The dream of a Del Mar commons lives The English name for public land held in common where villages hold events for the community is called “commons.” In a recent letter to the editor, Jacqueline Winterer asked, “Is that dream dead?” The answer is, “No.” The Leeger/Watkins plan for a community center is exactly that. A plan organized around outdoor courtyards and plazas serve as a public gathering place. The plan features a public plaza large enough to accommodate our Del Mar Farmers Market and multiple community social and cultural events. The city will retain 100 percent ownership of the land. Over 80 percent is exclusively for the City Hall/ Chambers and Public Plaza. Twenty percent is available for lease for resident-serving shops and restaurants that will enhance services for our community and offset some $3 million to $5 million of the city’s estimated $9 million standalone cost without the retail and restaurant. Finally, after 35 years, an affordable plan for a much-needed City Hall/Chambers and Public Plaza. Parking is to be provided in a single level, easy in/easy out parking garage to meet all parking codes, thus preventing back up into residential neighborhoods. Finally, an efficient, affordable, user-friendly community center with courtyards and plazas for community interaction. A very special place for all residents to enjoy. The commons concept is very much alive and doable. Monty Woolley Del Mar

In-lieu parking permits — why would council not want to hear appeal? Last week the Del Mar City Council voted not to hear my appeal of the Planning Director issuing 17 inlieu parking permits for $17,000/year, without providing 17 actual parking spaces! They didn’t want to hear the appeal, which pointed out that the director should have required the issuance of 10 more permits, for $10,000/year more, based on showing that the applicant had miscalculated the number required for Bull Taco to open in that location, and spaces counted that were not permitted, per the California Supreme Court! Why would they not want to hear the appeal? As I’ve stated previously, it is because the Council wants the additional sales tax revenue from more restaurant/bars in downtown – even if their own laws are not followed. All residents adjoining the downtown commercial area, please note – there are 24 more in-lieu parking permits available that can be sold for additional restaurant/ bars in the south end of town without providing 24 actual parking spaces! This may be one area of the Community Plan that should be changed, or change the implementing regulations. There seems to be a conflict! Any questions, or support, email artiepek@prodigy. net.

Education Matters/Opinion

Property tax bill error: what happened, what next

B Y MARSHA SUTTON F o l lowing last week’s column on the property Marsha Sutton tax bill error caused jointly by the San Dieguito Union High School District and the county of San Diego, left unsaid was how it happened and what’s in place moving forward to ensure it never happens again. San Dieguito’s $449 million general obligation bond, which passed by a narrow margin last fall, promised a maximum tax of $25 per $100,000 in property value. But the tax bill issued to all property owners in the San Dieguito district assessed $37.50 per $100,000. The amount that would have had to be refunded, had the county and district not managed to revise and mail corrected tax bills before the due date, would have been about $7 million. The error on the original property tax bill, mailed last fall, was first discovered and reported in this column on Oct. 24. Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD superintendent, explained in an interview that the bond instructions for the county as the fiscal agent called for $160 million to be transferred to the school district and $8 million in premiums to stay with the county. Instead, the county transferred the $8 million to the district along with the $160 million, and the $8 million sat unnoticed in a special school district account for six months. Schmitt said mistakes were acknowledged on both sides. SDUHSD should have seen the $8 million and realized it was in the wrong place, and district staff didn’t read the bond instructions properly. The county, for its part, erred by sending the $8 million to the district in the first place, and county staff should have noticed it and asked for it back, he said. “This [$8 million] was transferred to us but should have gone into the sinking fund on the day of the closing,” SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services Eric Dill said, calling that “an oversight on our side where we could have caught this in advance.” Also, when the county asked the district where the funds should be transferred to, Dill said he didn’t realize that also meant the pre-

mium. “I believe they should have known where to transfer the funds because it was in the closing instructions,” Dill said. “But when the funds were received by us, we should have noticed that and we didn’t. “That ultimately was how they calculated the higher amount, because the funds weren’t sitting in the county treasury for them to consider as available.” Dill in an understatement called it “a long and complicated issue.” Two departments at the county were involved in discussions on the issue – the auditor/controller’s office and the tax collector’s office. “While there is clear duty to check and recheck and double-check and triple-check numbers, sometimes the processes don’t happen,” said county Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister, whose department issues property tax bills based on numbers provided by the auditor/controller. “We’re a large organization; the school district’s a large organization,” he said. “To think that mistakes don’t sometimes get made is sadly not true.” Looking ahead Both the county and the school district are anxious to focus on the future and how to use this unprecedented debacle to improve and streamline the property tax assessment process going forward. Dill said he and the team at the county had many conversations working through what happened, how it happened, “and most importantly how to make sure this doesn’t happen again.” In an email, Dill explained that the county is working on a standardized agreement for all districts to use, rather than each district drafting its own and negotiating the language with the county. “That will help standardize how they interpret and handle funds as they flow in and out of the county treasury,” he wrote. “That should also save legal fees.” A prior notification to each agency in advance of setting the tax rates to cover debt service will give agencies the chance to review the proposed tax bill before it is acted on by the board of supervisors, Dill said. He said his district’s incorrect billing could have been prevented had he seen the tax rate in advance before it was calculated, printed and mailed. “They now realize that it is a good practice to implement a notice to each one of the public agencies that they will be taking tax rates to the board of supervisors for approval, so that we have a chance to review that before the board of supervisors sees it,” Dill said. Also, he said the treasurer’s office is creating standardized forms, “because they realized that every single bond issuer out there … they all create their own documents. They’re all different because they’re created by different attorneys.” The purpose is to provide consistency and a standard template. This will save the district money, Dill said, because San Dieguito won’t have to pay to draft everything from scratch. When the district issues its next series of bonds, “it will save us some legal fees,” he said. Dill said the county “is flipping it around, saying, ‘If you want us to be your paying agent, here’s our standard form. If you need to make changes, we can talk about that. But let’s just start with something that we all know and understand.’ So that’s a good thing.” Part of the difficulty, McAllister said, is that the general obligation bond process is too complex and cumbersome, as new language for each iteration is added by attorneys to avoid prior problems. “It’s fed by mistakes from the past,” he said. “I think things could probably be done more simply in many instances.” “That’s why I think you need checks and balances,” McAllister said. Although the county and school district agreed to share blame for this error, McAllister suggested that perhaps it’s not only the agencies that are responsible. “I would suggest that there is a responsibility on the part of taxpayers to check their bills, read their bills, and understand what they’re getting billed for, particularly in this era of more and more special districts issuing bonds for a variety of things,” he said. McAllister was pleased that systems would soon be in place to prevent similar problems in the future, for all the

county’s public agencies, not just San Dieguito. “That’s one of the great byproducts of this whole exercise,” he said. Positive relationship Schmitt acknowledged that the district made mistakes, and supported the district’s payment of $80,000 to the county to partially pay for the $183,000 total cost associated with generating letters, refunds and corrected tax bills. “It was an oversight on our part,” Schmitt said. “We need to take responsibility for that.” But he applauded the SDUHSD and county staff for amiably working together to sort out the problems and find solutions. He said this collaborative interaction has cemented a positive relationship between the school district and the county. “I see government agencies arguing with each other, suing each other, blaming each other,” Schmitt said at the May 1 school board meeting where the payment to the county was discussed. “Our community expects us to work together and collaborate. “Most of our energy was spent working with the county for our community and for our taxpayers. It took a little bit of effort, a little bit of time, and quite honestly as you’ve heard tonight a little bit of money.” Dill also commended the county staff and McAllister in particular, saying, “We had a very good relationship with the treasurer’s office before, but it is much stronger today, having gone through this together and come out the other side.”

For the next series of bonds, Dill said the district has a good partner at the county. Although the error was certainly embarrassing and unfortunate, it appears the situation generated an improved relationship between San Dieguito and the county of San Diego and will result in better methods for property tax calculations and streamlined procedures with much-needed checks and balances. And since I discovered and reported the error, many property owners, and not just from the San Dieguito district, have contacted me to say they plan to examine their tax bills more closely in the future. So it is true that, as a result of this fiasco, many taxpayers have taken a closer look at their bills, are questioning the various charges, and are comparing current bills with past bills. So I suppose that can be counted as another positive development. Despite the encouraging outcomes, this was an unprecedented occurrence that could have resulted in a major financial and political mess for both the school district and the county. Yet both agencies speak almost exclusively about the upsides and sound as if they were almost grateful it happened. The spin on this near-disaster has made me dizzy. One would think it’s almost as if this $7 million mistake were a good thing … but not quite. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

DM Council needs to take a second look at in-lieu parking program Del Mar should immediately halt the in-lieu parking program. It was ill conceived and harms the community. The program was created by the City Council to enable commercial properties to expand without having to provide the required onsite parking. It allows property owners to pay a fee for each additional required space that cannot be provided onsite. This fee is supposed to go towards building a downtown parking structure where those additional cars could theoretically park. The first problem is the parking structure does not exist and may never exist. As a result, these cars will be parking in the surrounding residential neighborhoods, increasing traffic and noise, and taking spaces away from the residents. So far, the Planning Department has approved 18 in-lieu spaces, and can issue a total of 50. That’s a lot of additional cars looking for parking in a city that already has a big shortage of spaces. The second problem is the program does not allow for input from the community and decisions can only be appealed to the City Council on narrow, technical grounds. There is a substantial fee for filing an appeal and the City Council must vote to hear it, which they rarely do. It is unconscionable that the City Council decided to silence the community. Del Mar has a rich tradition of community involvement in decision making, especially when it comes to planning issues. But in this instance the Planning Department and City Council don’t care what we think. The third problem is the fee is too low. The fee for each space was set at $30,000, which is the current cost to build a space in a parking structure. But the City Council allowed property owners to pay this over 30 years at $1,000 per year. This is an interest free loan to the property owner and shortchanges our city. Thirty years of payments is worth less than $20,000 today and falls well short of what is needed to build a space in a parking structure. The City Council needs to take a second look at the in-lieu program. At a minimum, the process should be revised to allow for community input and the annual fee should be raised to cover the true costs of building a structure.

‘Let It Go Fun Raiser’

(L-R) Students run during lunch on May 7. Photos by Karen Billing The Ashley Falls Mileage Club, a running club at the school, hit a major milestone on May 7 by breaking the 10,000-mile mark. PE teacher Desiree McBride had set a goal for the year of 6,000 miles, but the students ran through that milestone in January and hit 10,000 miles this month with another three weeks to go in the year. The popular club is offered every morning and during lunch on Wednesday, allowing students and teachers to get some great exercise, socialize, have fun, and even earn prizes. Students earn “toe token” necklace charms for reaching certain distances, and they participate in grade-level competitions to win extra P.E. time, pizza parties and trophies, all supported by the Ashley Falls PTA. — Karen Billing

Double Gold Four Quad

San Diego rowers qualify for U.S. National Championships, win gold and silver medals in Sacramento Varsity women athletes representing the San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) have clinched bids to compete against the best junior teams in America next month at the U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships. SDRC Varsity Women earned coveted spots in three national races by claiming gold and silver medals at the Southwest Junior District Championships, held May 2 to 4 on Sacramento’s Lake Natoma. In all, 36 teams from California, Arizona and Utah raced in divisions featuring boats with 8 rowers, 4 rowers, 2 rowers and single rowers, and coxswains (8-seat and 4-seat boats), who are responsible for steering, speed, timing, and fluidity. SDRC rowers Marissa Gibson, Mariko Kelly, Jillian Renly and Sarah Hoskin raced to gold in the Varsity Women’s “4x” boat (4 rowers, 8 oars), besting a field of 30 women’s teams in multiple heats on the windy 2,000-meter (1.25-mile) course. Renly and Hoskin joined forces to win silver in the Women’s Varsity “2x” boat (2 rowers, 4 oars) competition to advance to nationals, and Gibson and Kelly paired to win silver in the Women’s Varsity “2-” boat (2 rowers, 2 oars) and qualify for nationals. The U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships will also be held on Sacramento’s Lake Natoma from June 13 to 15. SDRC’s first-year Novice Men’s rowers were also victorious at the May 2-4 regionals, taking home gold in the Men’s Novice “4x+” boat (4 rowers, 8 oars, and a coxswain). Racing to victory were teens Jack Piegza (Bishops School), Kyle Blackburn (La Jolla High School), James Jacoby (Point Loma High School), and Jason Ke (Canyon Crest Academy), led by coxswain Samara Assomull (La Jolla Country Day). The SDRC Novice Men’s team, which is coached by UCSD Rowing alumnus Benton Sparks, finished first among 20 boats in multiple heats. Regional competition is the highest measure of first-year rowers and a novice team’s success. Novice teams do not compete in nationals. Additionally, SDRC rowers earned several Top 5s and Top 10s at regionals, including boats for Men’s Varsity 4-, Men’s Varsity Lightweight 2x, Men’s Novice 4+, Men’s Novice 8+, Men’s 2nd Novice 8+, Men’s 3rd

Novice 8+, Women’s Varsity 4-, Women’s Varsity 4x, Women’s Varsity Lightweight 2x, Women’s Novice 4x+ and Women’s Novice 8+. Two SDRC Varsity Women heading to nationals are high school seniors, facing their final competition as members of the SDRC team before rowing in college: Gibson, a senior at La Jolla High School, will attend the University of Wisconsin this fall on a rowing scholarship. Hoskin, a senior at the Academy of Our Lady Peace in San Diego, heads to Fordham University on a rowing scholarship next year. Kelly, of Del Mar, is a junior at La Jolla Country Day School, and Renly is a sophomore at University City High School. After national competition, both rowers will continue racing with the SDRC junior team. The Women’s Varsity Team rows on Mission Bay out of its boathouse on El Carmel Point and is coached by Susan Francia, a two-time gold medalist in the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics. Founded in 1888, SDRC is a non-profit organization committed to helping develop and expand the sport of rowing. The club’s Juniors Program offers one of the premiere places to learn to row, developing strong athletes who go on to compete on college crew and national teams each year. The club trains students from dozens of middle schools and high schools across San Diego County, who compete in races at venues in California and Arizona. Starting next month, the club is offering 2-week “Learn to Row” summer camps that will give juniors and teens (ages 10-18) the ability to enter the sport and be a part of something special. The first of four 10-session morning camps (from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (M-F) begins June 16. No rowing experience is required. The club is recruiting for the 2014/2015 racing season.

San Diego Sea Lions kick off 2014 season May 17 at Cathedral Catholic High School BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Sea Lions soccer team will kick off a new season on May 17 in Carmel Valley, coming off a national championship season last year. The championship was the Women’s Premier Soccer League team’s first title since 2000 and capped an undefeated season in dramatic fashion — the Sea Lions have high hopes that they can defend that championship this year. “We’re working very hard to make sure that we do,� said Amie Becker, Sea Lions general manager.

Del Mar resident Gary Jones elected to Thoroughbred racing’s Hall of Fame BY JULIE SARNO Retired from training Thoroughbred racehorses since 1996, Gary Jones thought his days of glory in horse racing were over. Jones was elated when it was announced recently that he was elected to Thoroughbred racing’s Hall of Fame. The Del Mar resident will be inducted during ceremonies on Friday, Aug. 8, at the Fasig-Tipton sales pavilion in Saratoga Springs, New York. To date only 92 trainers have been honored with the distinction of being inducted into the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of Racing in Saratoga Springs. According to Equibase, a racing statistical database, there are 4,484 trainers currently active in North America. Hall of Fame criteria dictate that trainers become eligible after 25 years as licensed Thoroughbred trainers. Thousands work training horses, few are honored by election to the Hall of Fame. Jones and his wife, Joan, have been year-round Del Mar residents for nearly 20 years since Jones’s retirement following a heart attack. Before that, they spent summers during the Del Mar race meet in a condo they owned in Solana Beach. Jones is part of a Thoroughbred racing dynasty. His father, Farrell Jones, first was a jockey and later a successful trainer with eight training titles at Santa Anita and 11 at Del Mar. Gary won a total of 15 race meet titles, including four at Santa Anita, where he still ranks sixth all time in wins with 576. Son, Marty, 42, trains on the Southern California circuit. The couple’s other son, Davey, is an attorney. Jones was working for his father, Farrell in 1974, when Farrell suffered a serious heart attack, forcing him to retire. The younger Jones, then 29, took over his

father’s stable. “He gave me a full string of horses ready to run,” recalled Jones. “He (Farrell) had a record of 44 wins at Santa Anita (1970-71 season) and I won 47 (still a single-season record at Santa Anita) races that first year. I had owners standing in line.” During his career, spanning from 1975-1996, Jones saddled 1,465 winners from 7,900 starters for an 18.5 career win percentage. His runners earned $52,672,611 in purses. Jones trained 104 individual stakes winners, winning 223 stakes races. His best runners included Turkoman, voted an Eclipse Award as Champion Older Horse of 1986. Under Jones’ tutelage, Turkoman won the $500,000 Marlboro Cup (G1), the Oaklawn Handicap (G2) and the Widener Handicap (G1). Turkoman raced for Corbin J. Robertson’s Saron Stable. “Turkoman did not care about running,” said Jones. “I had to breeze him an eighth of a mile the morning of a race to let him know he was going to run,” said Jones, reminiscing about the great horses he trained. “Best Pal was so dependable.” Jones trained Best Pal to victories in the Santa Anita See FAME, page B14

Del Mar Historical Society’s Alvarado House fundraiser set for June 16 BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a goal to bring Del Mar’s first house back home, the Del Mar Historical Society is hosting a fundraiser June 16 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Built in 1885, the Alvarado House currently sits at the fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989. With the master planning process for the development of Del Mar Shores Park underway, society members hope to relocate the historical house to the 5.3-acre site along Camino del Mar. “We think that its permanent place is coming soon, so we want to make people aware we’ll need funds to move the house,” said Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar Historical Society, which has collected, preserved and displayed the city’s historical facts, artifacts and properties since it was founded in 1985. Originally sold for $600, the Alvarado House was given to the Del Mar Historical Society in 1985 when the new owner decided to build a bigger home on the lot at the foot of 10th Street, where the 600-square-foot home sat for a century. It was moved to the City Hall parking lot for four years, and then relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Today, the house largely remains locked up and unused at the fairgrounds, except when it is open to the public for tours during the annual county fair. “I just can’t put words on the value that I think bringing that house back to Del Mar would do for Del Mar and for history in general,” said Anne Allen, a member of the Del Mar Historical Society. “It’s our goal to preserve history and to be able to present it and allow others to enjoy and learn

Fundraiser attendees can bid on a handmade quilt, which highlights the history of the city, during the event’s silent auction. Courtesy photo from it.” Originally, the Del Mar Historical Society aimed to relocate the house to Seagrove Park on Coast Boulevard. Although initial efforts failed, Brooks said the park remains a potential site, but the Shores property seems to be a greater possibility. The Del Mar City Council voted in August 2007 to purchase the $8.5 million Shores property from the Del Mar Union School District, with the intent to preserve current open space and recreational uses, continue operation of The Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The long-range plan will guide the development of the park, where The Winston School currently sits on 1.8 acres of leased land. From organized sports to off-leash dog use, community members have a variety of ways they want to use the remaining space. In April, the council formed an advisory committee to help with the master plan process. The Del Mar Historical Society is eyeing two potential spots on the property, both on slopes, Brooks said. Once the Alvarado House has a permanent home, the Del Mar Historical Society will finally have an official headquarters. Currently, members meet at 5 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month in the conference room at 225 Ninth Street in Del Mar. Meetings are open to the public. In addition to a home for the Del Mar Historical Society, Brooks said the Alvarado House would be used as a museum, as well as a gathering place for meetings and events. The house — which has two bedrooms, a parlor, a family dining room and a kitchen — could potentially ac-

commodate a small art gallery as well, Brooks said. If located on a slope at the Shores property, the Del Mar Historical Society also plans to build a basement for the house, which would be used as an atmosphericcontrolled storage room. The Del Mar Historical Society currently has $55,000 earmarked for the project. Pro bono architects and engineers have estimated the move and construction will cost approximately $250,000, Brooks said. “A museum of sorts, an art gallery of sorts, a meeting place of sorts — it may become an icon for the city since it is Del Mar’s first house,” Brooks said. “If we can get it in the proper setting, I think it can really be powerful.” To raise awareness about the need for a permanent home for the Alvarado House, and to raise funds for the relocation project, the Del Mar Historical Society is hosting a fundraiser at the Alvarado House from 6-9 p.m. June 16 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Tickets cost $75 and include food, drinks and entertainment by San Diego-based boogie-woogie pianist Sue Palmer. The event will also include a silent auction, which will feature several items, including a handmade quilt that highlights the history of the city and a one-year parking pass for Del Mar. To inquire about sponsorship opportunities, contact the Del Mar Historical Society at info@delmarhistoricalsociety.org.

Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre Department to present six unique one-act plays BY ROB LEDONNE The theater department at Canyon Crest Academy has been buzzing with anticipation over its upcoming show dubbed “S’plantation,” which consists of six one-act plays written and directed by senior members of the school’s Conservatory Theater Department. “It’s an exciting time for these students with all they’re accomplishing,” said Amy Blatt, the Envision Theatre coordinator and a drama teacher at Canyon Crest Academy. “We do this festival every May, and it’s very intensive. It gives the students directing experience, since the majority of the conservatory program is focused on acting training.” The odd name, “S’Plantation,” is a nod to Carmel Valley’s Souplantation eatery. “I asked the six senior directors what they wanted to call the festival,” explained Blatt of the name’s origins. “They figured Souplantation was a hub of inspiration, since they’ve had many meetings and brainstorms there. So they ran with it.” This year’s collection of one-act plays are each between 10 and 20 minutes long, and span multiple genres, including comedy, drama, experimental, musical, and even the existential. “Audiences should definitely look forward to a variety of diverse performances,” Blatt said. “Not one of the six oneacts are like another. The only common theme throughout all of them is that you’ll be entertained.” The festival has been a work in progress throughout the year for the Envision Theatre Department at Canyon Crest Academy. Members started brainstorming ideas

months ago, held auditions, and had nights of arduous rehearsals to fine-tune every moment. Actress Annika Patton, a sophomore at Canyon Crest, appears in senior Grace Condon’s play “Friendzoned Anonymous,” a comedic one-act that centers on a group of people who’ve been “friendzoned” (slang for the dreaded limbo period in between a friendship and relationship). “I play a character named Ruth, who’s not getting the love she wants. As a result, she falls in love with a man who works at a donut shop,” explained Patton of the role, which Condon wrote with her in mind. “It’s very funny. As a student here, we have the opportunity to appear in the senior shows. I’ve known Grace since last year, and I feel really lucky to be in her one-act.” Overall, Patton reports rehearsals have been going “great. We’ve been at it for about four weeks or so. It’s so much fun working with Grace; she’s a great director. We do a lot of improv exercises as well (during rehearsal), so it makes for some laugh-outloud moments.” Aside from “Friendzoned Anonymous,” other shows include Troy Lingelbach’s “Fingerpaint” (an experimental one-act about “human contact through the elements”); Ben Sutton’s capitalism musical “Down Wind and Out of Sight”; Jerrin Padre’s friendship dramedy “The Adventures of Finn and June”; Nicole Belinsky’s comedy “Maybe We Should Go”; and “It’s Nearly Finished” by Mark Steitz, “An existential exploration of the absurdity that would ensue as a result of apocalyptic desolation and the relationship dynamics that keep people to-

gether in dialogue.” The overriding point to the one-act shows is to send graduating seniors off with one final taste of the camaraderie at the Canyon Crest theater department. Blatt estimates that most (if not all) of the students featured are going on to study various forms of entertainment at college in the fall. “I’ve been observing the rehearsal process, doing rotations and seeing how they’re exploring and discovering how to become directors,” said Blatt. “From everything I’ve seen so far, I’m just really proud of them.” The Canyon Crest Senior One-Act Festival “S’Plantation” takes place on May 23 and 24, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at CCA’s Black Box Theatre.

Cedros Avenue to launch new website in time for summer

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to encourage local residents and tourists to sip, sample and shop on Cedros Avenue this summer, the Design District is ramping up its social media presence and launching a new website. “There are so many different things on the street,” said Cindy Cruz, who serves as president of the Cedros Avenue Merchant’s Association, of which nearly 50 of the more than 85 businesses on the street belong. “There’s something for everyone.” Home to architects, builders and designers, Cedros Avenue Design District in Solana Beach also features two-and-ahalf blocks of boutiques, galleries, cafes, salons and day spas. With a website at www.cedrosavenue.com and a presence on Facebook and Twitter, Cedros Avenue has a new account on Instagram. In the coming months, the Cedros Avenue Merchant’s Association is launching a new website at www.shopcedros.com to attract even more visitors to the North County destination. The new site will inform visitors about the history of the street and showcase new shops. It will also include a directory of the shops, with direct links to the businesses. “We want everyone to see who we are,” said Cruz, who owns Leaping Lotus. Located at 240 South Cedros Ave., the 21,000-square-foot store features more than 120 merchants. In the early 1950s, the street was home to defense contractor Bill Jack, who built the Quonset hut structures that now house businesses on Cedros Avenue. In 1974, Dave Hodges opened the Belly Up Tavern, which helped put South Cedros Avenue on the map and has continued to be the area’s premier live music venue. Sidewalks were installed in the early 1980s, and in 1997, the street’s signature arches were designed and installed to echo the curved silhouette of the Quonset huts on Cedros Avenue. The Cedros Design District Association formed in the early 1990s, bringing together property owners and merchants. “Cedros has kept hold of the charm that it’s always had, but it’s changing every day, too,” Cruz said. “It’s really a

neat place to stroll.” Over the years, mainstay businesses have helped the avenue retain its character, while new shops have helped the street keep up with the latest trends. Formerly a roller-skating rink, the Antique Warehouse was transformed in 1982 into a 15,000-square-foot mall of antiques, collectibles and memorabilia. One of the oldest

shops on the street, Solana Beach Art & Frame, has served the community since 1992. The avenue’s eateries include locally-inspired menu items at Lockwood Table and a variety of vegetarian options at Zinc Café. Carruth Cellars launched its Solana Beach winery and tasting room on the street four years ago. Culture Brewing Co. opened its microbrewery and tasting room just last year. From 1-5 p.m. on Sundays, the Solana Beach Farmers Market offers locally-grown fruits, vegetables, fresh-cut flowers and more at the south end of the street. The market’s food court opens for lunch at noon. “It’s not just a community of businesses; it’s a community of personalities and people who are our neighbors,” Cruz said. “We all care for each other and support what everybody’s doing.” For more information about Cedros Avenue, visit www. cedrosavenue.com, www.facebook.com/CedrosAve, twitter. com/CedrosAvenue and instagram.com/cedrosavenue.

Breakfast Pot Pie is filled with rosemary sausage gravy and topped with an egg. It’s served with a side of hash browns.

If you Snooze, you’ll never lose BY KELLEY CARLSON hen Snooze opened in Del Mar last fall, it didn’t take long for locals to wake up and take notice. On a typical day, this mainly breakfastoriented eatery is buzzing with activity, as people relax over steaming cups of organic java and a hearty meal. Some bring their dogs and soak up the sun on the patio; others find comfort in the “retro-future” dining room’s crescent-shaped booths. Guests won’t find much in the way of “standard” morning fare here, though. “We do a creative twist on food compared to the everyday breakfast,” General Manager JD explained. For instance, there’s the classic Eggs Benedict dish, but in six variations, all with house-made Hollandaise. One is the savory Southwestern-themed Chilaquiles Benedict, which features layers of thick tortillas and ranchero sauce that’s piled with shredded barbacoa beef, roasted poblano Hollandaise, pico de gallo, cotija cheese and poached, cage-free eggs — a fiesta of flavors. There are a number of other egg entrees, as well. Three-egg omelets are up to one’s imagination, filled with vegetables, meats and cheeses. A staff favorite is the Green Eggs

■ This week’s recipe:

Snooze’s Green Eggs and Hamwich and Hamwich, a ciabatta roll filled with Niman ham, eggs scrambled with spinach and herbs, and melted Swiss. It’s served with Dijon hollandaise and hash browns. Yet another example where Snooze’s creativity shines is the pancakes. The chefs dream up something new on a daily basis, ranging from rich and decadent (such as Oreo Cream and Peanut Butter Cream) to fruity (Apple, etc.). Or, there are mainstays, which include the signature Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes with caramelized pineapple

The Pancake Flight includes three flavors: Peanut Butter Cup Pancake, Caramel Apple Pancake and OMG! French Toast.

Green Eggs and Hamwich consists of a ciabatta roll with ham, scrambled eggs, spinach, melted Swiss and Dijon hollandaise sauce. chunks, vanilla creme anglaise and cinnamon butter. Patrons who think everything sounds delicious can find satisfaction in the Pancake Flight, which includes three flavors of their choosing. One sweet trifecta is the Peanut Butter Cup; the Caramel Apple, akin to an apple pie on a pancake with cinnamon apple slices, crumbles and a pat of butter; and the OMG! French Toast, featuring brioche stuffed with mascarpone that’s topped with salted caramel, vanilla creme and agave-soaked strawberries, and

garnished with toasted coconut. There are a few brunch options, as well. Among them: the Peter Paul Rubens sandwich, composed of corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and house-made Thousand Island dressing, stacked in a plump pretzel roll; and the Winter Greens, a combination of prosciutto, Gala apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts and apple cider vinaigrette. The restaurant even puts unique touches on its beverages. Snooze infuses its own vodkas for use in its Bloody Marys, and customizes “barista cocktails” that range from dirty chais and flat whites to lattes and cappuccinos. There are mimosas concocted with house juices, and an Orange Snoozius with vodka, orange liqueur, orange juice and whipped cream. Yet, traditional drinks are available, too, such as the house-blend coffee that is made from beans grown in Guatemala. Along with such innovative cuisine, JD attributes Snooze’s friendly atmosphere as a reason customers are drawn to the eatery. “We like to treat our guests like they’re family members,” JD said. “The food is also above and beyond what is required from guests. We feel like Snooze is doing the talking for us.”

Guests can choose to dine in Snooze’s bright and airy dining room or outside patio in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON

Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s ‘Day at the Races’ returns July 27 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Promising a fun-filled day at the racetrack for a good cause, the Lung Cancer Foundation of America will host its fifth annual “Day at the Races” event July 27 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Tickets cost $150 and include entry into the private Turf Club, a tour of the paddock area and a private betting window. The event will also feature a special “Breath of Life” race to raise awareness about lung cancer and support lung cancer research, as well as a silent auction and raffle drawing. “It’s just a really fun event for a really good cause,” said Kim Norris, co-founder and president of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. Lung cancer is the nation’s top cancer killer, yet it ranks near the bottom in research funding. To raise awareness of lung cancer and funds for research, Norris co-founded the nonprofit organization in 2007 with David Sturges, an attorney in Minnesota, and Lori Monroe, a registered nurse in Kentucky — both lung cancer survivors. After a 12-year battle with the disease, Monroe died in 2013. After losing her husband, Roy, to lung cancer in 1999, Norris devoted her life to being a lung cancer patient advocate. She remains a volunteer with the organization, which has raised about $1.3 million for lung cancer research since it first launched. “Lung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer and three times as many men as prostate cancer, yet it only gets a fraction of the funding,” said Norris, who previously worked as a management consultant for Fortune 500

Photo by Semantha Norris companies for 30 years. “Not only am I proud of the money we have raised and the research we have funded, but almost more so, I’m proud of the role that we play within the lung cancer community.

We’re kind of a connective tissue between the lung cancer research community and the lung cancer community of survivors, families and the general public.” Former Rancho Santa Fe resident and lung cancer survivor Paula Friendly, a longtime supporter of the foundation and horseracing enthusiast, started “Day at the Races” five years ago. Her late husband, Hollywood producer Ed Friendly, was a founding member of the National Thoroughbred Association and established the Thoroughbred Owners of California in 1993. Last year, actress and lung cancer advocate Valerie Harper attended the event, which attracted about 80 people.

“To make a difference, we need people to get involved and engaged,” Norris said. “This is a wonderful way to learn more about lung cancer and learn more about ways you can get involved with like-minded people who have been through the same thing.” The “Day at the Races” event will take place from noon to 6:30 p.m. July 27 in the Il Palio Restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Races begin at 2 p.m. To inquire about tickets or sponsorships, contact Cindy Iker at ciker@lcfamerica.org.

Hall of Fame swimmer Cox to read from new children’s book at Del Mar World-renowned swimmer and bestselling author Lynne Cox will be reading from her new children’s book, “Elizabeth Queen of the Seas,” at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 31, at Del Mar Library. “Elizabeth Queen of the Seas,” illustrated by Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Brian Floca, is an inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew exactly where she belonged.

Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal made her home in the Avon River in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. When Elizabeth decides to stretch out across a two-lane road, the citizens worry she might get hurt or cause traffic accidents, so a group of volunteers tows her out to sea. But Elizabeth swims all the way back to Christchurch. The volunteers catch her again and again — each time towing

her farther, even hundreds of miles away — but, still, Elizabeth finds her way back home. Inducted into the International Swimmers Hall of Fame in 2000, Lynne Cox has also written “South with the Sun: Roald Amundsen, His Polar Explorations, and the Quest for Discovery”; “Grayson”; and “Swimming to Antarctica: Tales of a Long-Distance Swimmer.”

Laurence Juber to make special appearance at Art lecture on ‘Anatomia Italiana, the Cultural History of Art & Anatomy along the Italian Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Gala The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation recently announced that Laurence Juber will make a special appearance at the “Across the Universe: A Beatles Tribute” gala. Internationally-recognized as lead guitarist in Paul McCartney’s Band, Wings, Laurence Juber has played with three of the Beatles. Juber, known to his fans as LJ, has released 22 solo albums. “Under an Indigo Sky,” his most recent is a jazz/blues-tinged studio album that was mixed at Hollywood’s legendary Capitol Studios and first released only on vinyl. His concurrent release, “Catch LJ Live!,” is a two-disc combo that captures one exciting solo concert performance in 5.1 video and on CD. “LJ Plays The Beatles” was voted one of Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s all-time Top Ten albums.

The mission of the CCA Foundation is to enrich the experience of every student, every day and Juber’s appearance at the gala is a great example of reaching beyond fundraising to create learning experiences for the students. “This event has been planned with several goals in mind.

First summer robotics camp for elementary school students offered at Canyon Crest Academy

Mission Bay Aquatic Center Watersports Camp The Watersports Camp, held at SDSU and UC San Diego’s Mission Bay Aquatic Center, is a YMCA-sponsored camp offering exciting and educational camps, including wakeboarding, surfing, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, marine science and stand-up paddling. Whether your camper hopes to catch their first wave, or wants to learn about the ocean, the friendly counselors at The Watersports Camp will ensure a safe and fun environment in which to learn. Spring break camps run March 31-April 11 and summer camp starts June 9. Full-day and half-day camp options are available. Register online at watersportscamp.com or call at (858) 539-2003.

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy will offer its first robotics camp for elementary school students this summer, led by alumni and student volunteers. The camp will run in five weekly sessions from June 30 through Aug. 4. The camp idea came from brainstorming CCA robotics team members and alumni mentor Tyler Carter, who five years ago was a founding member of the Aluminum Narwhals robotics team. For the last three years, Carter has volunteered as a mentor for CCA’s robotics teams. “We want to inspire fifth and sixth graders to be interested in science, technology engineering and math,” said Carter. He said many students that age don’t get the chance to be exposed to robotics in school so this is a way to introduce them and get them prepared and excited for the next level. Throughout the week, kids will work together to build “awesome” robots that can complete intricate tasks and compete against each other in competitions. Campers will also work with mentors to build a high school-style robot, learning new scientific and engineering principles, as well as have fun creating something that can fire off tennis balls. Around 18 student volunteers from CCA’s robotics program are signed up to help Carter and fellow lead mentor Garrison Price, another CCA graduate who is pursuing computer science at San Diego State University. Price was the student mentor for the Narwhals, as well as CCA’s FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team, de.evolution, that competed in the world championship robotics tournament in St. Louis in April. The camp is being run through the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, with profits going back into the school’s science, technology, engineering and robotics

Since Carter’s days at CCA, the robotics program has steadily grown. CCA has about 120 students involved in robotics across campus — they have four FIRST robotics teams as well as a robotics course where students in the course learn how to design, build and program robots on the NXT-Tetrix program. Carter’s interest in science started when he was young — since he was 13 years old he has been a computer programmer and had multiple job offers before he even graduated high school. He is currently in the midst of pursuing a degree in business administration and after that will consider getting a computer science degree or his teaching credential.

The Village Church Community Theater Camp will be held July 21-25.

Village Church Community Theater Camp provides a unique, creative experience There is new focus at The Village Church Community Theater Camp, July 21-25. Grades 3-6 experience theater games, comedy, and improv using stories from the writers of the Berenstain Bears. Seventh graders through 2014 graduates explore Biblical and contemporary themes through scenework and popular music; local professionals offer workshops, including Musical Theater and Acting for the Camera. The week concludes with a performance Friday, July 25, at 7 p.m. Registration: www.villagechurchcommunitytheater.org.

continued from page B9 thing he greatly enjoys. “They’re awesome,” he said of the CCA students he works with. Maya Ziv, one of the student volunteers for the camp, just joined the robotics team this year at the urging of her friends. “It was the best decision I’ve made,” Maya said. “The people are all fascinating, intelligent and they love to build things and solve problems… it’s the highlight of my week.” Maya said her involvement has led her to start seriously thinking about engineering and science as a career choice when she hadn’t before. Carter breaks into a

huge smile hearing her say this. “This is the stuff mentors live for,” Carter said. In addition to having a great time tinkering with and building robots, Maya’s team has also been rewarded for its efforts. At the San Diego Regional competition this year, her team won a creativity award for innovative design — they were the only team who designed a circular robot. Carter stresses the summer camp won’t be all work and be all indoors — students will be provided lunch and will get outside for breaks to play games such as ninja tag. Carter also emphasized that no power tools will be used in the robot construction and when students are

working on the high school-level robots they will wear safety glasses, but mostly just to encourage good habits. “The biggest thing is we want to get kids excited because during the week we can’t teach them everything but we can get them interested in science and technology and that’s our goal,” Carter said. Maya said she hopes the camp will show the youngsters all the opportunities they will be able to pursue and will, hopefully, “get a lot more scientists into the world.” To register for camp or learn more, visit www. team3128.org

Handicap, Hollywood Gold Cup and Charles H. Strub, all Grade 1 events. Local racing fans remember Best Pal for his victory in the very first Pacific Classic at Del Mar on Aug. 10, 1991. Jones had taken over training duties for Best Pal not long before the inaugural Pacific Classic, Del Mar’s $1 million race. Best Pal was only 3 at the time, competing against runners aged 4 and 5. Earlier that year, Best Pal had finished second in the Kentucky Derby, 1 3/4 lengths behind Strike the Gold, for trainer Ian Jory. Best Pal, who raced for the Golden Eagle Farm of John and Betty Mabee, was voted into the Hall of Fame in 2010. “Best Pal was a mean son of a gun,” recalled Jones. “If you went into his stall, he was going to try to nail you, either bite or kick you. He bit Marty’s fingernail off.” “They didn’t get much more intense than Gary,” said Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “When he zeroed in, he was in all the way. He

learned from his dad (Farrell) and he passed it on to his son (Marty). Those Jones boys have quite a training and racing history in Southern California.” In Jones’ early years, training horses was a hardscrabble life. Racing was a rough, tough way to make a living. Jones recalls living in a trailer under the Los Alamitos Grandstand with his parents and his sister. “My parents would drive a long way to go match Quarter horses on the weekends. If they won, it was worth $25 or $50. If they tied, the trainers went into a stall and settled it with a fist fight.” A horse Jones recalls fondly was Larrikin, winner of the 1975 Del Mar Derby: “Larrikin was a personal favorite. He was a mean old son of a gun. He would try to savage (bite) another horse if one came alongside him in a race. When he retired because of injury, I saw to it that he had a home for life.” Jones recalled top stakes winner Fali Time, winner of

the Grade I Norfolk and Hollywood Futurity, then a $1 million race. Fali Time ran in the 1984 Kentucky Derby: “He was a little bitty horse. He was the only horse to benefit from a change of position in the Kentucky Derby finish. Fali Time finished fifth after being bumped by Gate Dancer during the stretch run. The stewards disqualified Gate Dancer and moved Fali Time up to fourth.” Jones also trained Kostroma. She ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:43.92 seconds on Oct. 21, 1991, in the Las Palmas Handicap at Santa Anita, setting a track and world record that still stands. “I think anybody who works in a profession strives to be in the Hall of Fame for that profession,” smiled Jones, interviewed at his Del Mar home. “To be mentioned in the same breath with Charlie Whittingham and Laz Barrera (fellow Hall of Famers) is really special.”

SPONSORED COLUMNS KEVIN YALEY Francis Parker School 858.569.7900

Parker Invites Community Builders to Leadercast At Francis Parker School we seek to inspire and develop tomorrow’s leaders. Leadership doesn’t simply mean to be in charge. Leadership is inspiring others to take on challenges and reach beyond their expectations.

That is why Parker is inviting San Diegans to attend Leadercast, a daylong leadershipbuilding event on May 9 that will be telecast live from Atlanta at Parker’s Linda Vista Campus. Speakers at the event include best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Former First Lady Laura Bush and other communications, business and creative leaders. Leadercast proposes to “build leaders worth following” and we are proud that our own student leaders from the studentrun magazine Mosaic are coordinating the presentation of this telecast for a San Diego audience.

You are invited to attend along with current leaders from San Diego’s business, academic, civic and neighborhood communities. Tickets may be purchased online at http:// leadercast.com/location/sandiego/ and proceeds will be used to support the student publication, Mosaic. Mosaic magazine is produced by Parker students participating in the Global Journal Project (GJP), a non-profit organization that engages school communities in sharing stories and forming bonds across international and cultural borders. The articles cover a wide range of topics. Each issue is intended to promote insightful

and culturally respectful dialogue. The magazine is an entirely student run enterprise created in partnership with students from the Preuss School at UCSD. Students oversee curating the stories from local, national and international contributors. In addition to managing editorial production, students must fundraise to cover the cost of publication and market the magazine. We hope you’ll plan on attending Leadercast at Francis Parker School on Friday, May 9. Join us as we strive to build students and citizens that will lead us through to a bright and exciting future.

Flamboyant Civil War General creates havoc in world premiere comedy ‘Faded Glory’ at North Coast Rep

Local performers to appear in ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ at North Park Theatre May 9-25 San Diego Musical Theatre will present Irving Berlin’s “Annie Get Your Gun� from May 9-25 at the North Park Theatre. The production will include Sage Canyon Elementary School student Taylor Coleman who, at the age of 7, auditioned and landed the role of Cindy Lou Who at The Old Globe. Taylor will play Minnie Oakley in “Annie Get Your Gun.� Taylor is a second grade student at Sage Canyon and dances at the Royal Dance Academy. She is also a competitive gymnast and trains 12 hours a week at TRC South Gymnastics. Local residents Hanz Enyeart and Matthew Naegeli are in the ensemble cast. For individual or group tickets contact the Administrative Office at 858-560-5740 or visit SDMT online at www.sdmt.org.

Following its highly successful world premiere of Mandate Memories, North Coast Rep is mounting a second world premiere, Faded Glory. Written by Tim Burns, this comedic romp tells the improbable, but true, story of Daniel Sickels, a 19th-century congressman, friend to presidents, Civil War general, lover of Queen Isabella II of Spain, notorious philanderer, embezzler, murderer, and the officer who almost cost the Union victory in perhaps the most pivotal battle of the Civil War, only to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Based on this real figure from American history, funny, poignant and filled with astonishing littleknown historical information, Faded Glory promises to be a highlight of the season. Audiences will enjoy a rollicking comedic romp through this amazing life. Faded Glory previews begin Wednesday, May 28. Opening night, Saturday, May 31, 8 p.m. includes a post-show reception. There will be a special talkback on Friday, June 6, with the cast and director. It will play through June 22. North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Call 858-4811055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org to purchase tickets.

Solana Beach Day at Petco Park set for Aug. 3 To celebrate the community, the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce is hosting “Solana Beach Day� Aug. 3 at Petco Park. For a discounted price, community members can watch the San Diego Padres play the Atlanta Braves, enjoy special group seating and take part in field recognition of the chamber of commerce. Tickets cost $16, which is a $31.75 value. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit http://events.r20.constantcontact. com/register/event?oeidk=a07e9564nsr7211d67a&llr=ovxzkfdab.

Relish the thought: Celebrate Burger Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.”—Matthew McConaughey The beloved burger, a culinary national treasure is honored in the month of May with a designated holiday that bears its name. Creative liberal-minded chefs have converted the classic burger into an equal opportunity food allowing a wide range of gustatory groups to earn their grill marks. Here’s a primer to help you celebrate National Burger Month whether you’re a diehard carnivore, pescavore, pollitarian or vegetarian.

Grass Up While organic beef is best since it comes from cows that don’t do drugs, including growth hormones and antibiotics, it is even better to buy grass-fed beef. Cows are ruminants with stomachs divided into four compartments so they can digest cellulose like hay, grass and cornstalks. As nature’s lawnmowers, they are not equipped for digesting grain, which raises acid levels in their rumens, producing a dangerous environment where acid-resistant E. coli can thrive. So where possible, buy grass-fed. Moo-ve Over For those who don’t do bovine, try elk, a close cousin to the deer as an alternative carnivorous offering. As forest dwellers, elk naturally feed on grasses, plants and bark, producing a lean, dense, low cholesterol, high protein meat. More tender than beef, elk does not require marinating. Elk burgers pair well with goat cheese, baby arugula or spinach, and a sweet onion chutney. Bison (aka American Buffalo) are free-spirited animals roaming on grassy

plains, not manhandled or tainted with chemicals, hormones or antibiotics. The meat is pure and wholesome with a sweeter taste than beef, but not gamey. Since it’s leaner, it should be cooked slower and at a lower temperature to prevent overcooking. Nice accompaniments to bison burgers are cabernet caramelized onions, tangy escarole and smoky barbecue sauce. If elk and bison are too wild for your taste buds, choose the savory immune-boosting lamburger with Mediterranean toppings such as feta, black olive tapenade and refreshing yogurt dill sauce. Wing it For the cholesterolconscious pollitarians, turkey and chicken burgers from ground breast meat are light, super lean and high protein, although tend to be a little dry, especially the former fowl. Slather with plenty of barbecue sauce or tart cranberry mustard and juicy toppings to counter the dryness. A Pork in the Road Wild boar burgers have gained popularity as

HOME OF THE WEEK

an exotic beef alternative. An ancestor of the modern domesticated pig, wild boar must be cooked thoroughly (internal temperature 160170 degrees Fahrenheit) to insure food safety, and a tender texture. As lean as chicken breast, but rich and dense, wild boar has a slightly gamy, sweet, smoky flavor. Fish for Compliments For pescavores firm fish like mahi mahi or wildcaught salmon are best patty choices nicely topped with Asian accompaniments like daikon radishes and wasabi mayo. Crustacean cakes made from lump Dungeness crab, deep-sea scallops or jumbo wild-caught pink shrimp, chopped and blended with lemon mayo, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, panko breadcrumbs and choice herbs and spices, gently pan fried make light yet satisfying burgers with a mother lode of heart-healthy omega-3s. Hunters and Gatherers So Cal’s Burger Lounge at locations scattered around town is featuring a limited time prehistoric patty called the “Paleo” burger. On a bed of lettuce sits chunky slices of grilled zucchini, crispy

strips of nitrate-free bacon, a single-source grass-fed beef burger topped with a grilled tomato slice and a dollop of jalapeno relish. While gluten-sensitive vegetarians can indulge in True Food Kitchen’s kitschy inside out quinoa burger following Dr. Andrew Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet. Two quinoa patties loaded with herbs and spices and baked into chunky buns sandwich such goodies as hummus, tomato, red onion and tzatziki. Top Heavy Traditional burger toppings from ketchup, mustard and relish to grilled onions, tomatoes and American cheese slices have been trumped by such lollapaloozas across the land as herbcrusted brie melted over Granny Smith apple slices, fried eggs and bacon, smoked salmon and cream cheese, asparagus tips with white truffle mayonnaise, and smoky peanut butter with tomato jelly. Wild Mushroom Topping Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, sliced (Portobellos, Oysters, Shiitake--your choice) 1/2 red onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced 6 tablespoons virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup red wine 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped 1/4 teaspoon each turmeric, ginger powder, rosemary, thyme Cayenne pepper to taste Method: In a skillet, sauté onions and garlic in the oil until glassy. Add mushrooms, vinegar, Worcestershire, herbs and spices, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add wine, simmer 5 more minutes. Ladle over your favorite burger.
