JULY 2, 2015 Published Weekly
BY KAREN BILLING The One Paseo Working Group has come together at the drawing board with Kilroy Realty to shape a scaleddown mixed-use project for Carmel Valley. The goal of the working group is to develop a project that will offer the same amenities as the proposed development had while greatly reducing the traffic and visual impacts that caused concern within the community. “We look forward to engaging in a transparent process that will address community feedback and concerns, ultimately resulting in a quality project,” said Kilroy Vice President Jamas Gwilliam. The working group is composed of representatives from Alliance for Responsible Development Corporation, the East Bluff Community Association, Mitigate One Paseo, What Price Main Street and Donahue Schriber, as well as Frisco White, Ken Farinsky and Jonathan Tedesco from the Carmel Valley planning board. The first meeting was held June 19, and a second was scheduled for June 29. “The working group is not a decision-making group, See ONE PASEO, page 20
mode of travel, such as cycling or walking. “I’m grateful that we’re going to have this study for the next 15 years,” said Mayor Lesa Heebner. “It will help to leverage that money that we spent through SANDAG to get many, many more millions of dollars, we’re hoping, for all of these projects to enhance our community.” Solana Beach received a $136,000 grant from SANDAG in 2013 to prepare
the plan, which identifies opportunities to improve bicycle and pedestrian networks to increase neighborhood connectivity and enhance safety for riders and walkers. The city hired Chen Ryan Associates, a San Diego-based transportation planning and engineering firm, which kicked off the master plan process in spring 2013.

DMUSD board OKs $48M budget for 2015-16 BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District approved a balanced budget for the 201516 school year, with a projected $48 million in revenues and $48 million in expenditures. The balanced budget comes after the district went through a tough few years, according to Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services. In 2011-12 and 2012-13, the district deficit-spent by $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. In 2014-15, it will deficit- spend by $123,000. Birks said the district was prepared to deficit-spend by $1 million again this year because of the modernization of Carmel Del Mar, but they saw an increase in funding from the state which allowed them to have a balanced budget. Slight variances in the budget revenues are because of an increase in the one-time unrestricted state Average Daily Attendance funding, from $180 to $530 per student, and an increase in Education Protection Act funds, a total of $858,000. EPA funding expires in the 2018-19 school year. Birks said the district would continue to “spend See BUDGET, page 22
SB School District sends off superintendent with praise, gratitude BY KRISTINA HOUCK After more than three years with the Solana Beach School District, Superintendent Nancy Lynch bid farewell to board members, staff, parents and students during the June 25 board meeting. Lynch has returned to Northern California to serve as superintendent of a Bay Area school district. Her last day with the district was Tuesday, June 30. Terry
COMING SOON - NOT ON MLS
Decker, the district’s former assistant superintendent of instructional services, started as superintendent on Wednesday, July 1. “I just thank you all so much for the wonderful opportunities that you’ve given me,” said Lynch, who now serves as superintendent of Reed Union School District. “It’s been an absolute pure delight.” Lynch joined the Solana
Beach School District in April 2012. Under Lynch’s leadership, the district transitioned to Common Core State Standards and championed STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) through STREAM-centered Discovery Labs. In the fall, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary
School in Pacific Highlands Ranch. “Nancy was taken away a little too early from us,” said board member Richard Leib. “I was part of the group that selected Nancy. There were a lot of good, qualified candidates, but we felt that she had the leadership qualities and a lot of other really great qualities to bring to the district.

High-speed chase ends in Del Mar BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A motorist who refused to pull over for police in the Santa Fe Springs area led officers on a three-county pursuit that reached speeds of nearly 120 mph before he pulled over and surrendered peacefully June 30 in San Diego County. The driver refused to pull over for a traffic stop about 1 p.m. at Washington Boulevard and the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway, California Highway Patrol Officer Florentino Olivera said. He then began speeding in a generally southbound direction, eventually winding up on the Santa Ana (5) Freeway, speeding through Orange County at triple-digit speeds. The driver continued south into San Diego County, but once he reached the Del Mar area, he pulled to the right shoulder of the freeway, slowed to a stop then got out of the vehicle and surrendered to police. Despite some reports that as many as three people might be in the SUV, the driver turned out to be the only one inside.
Sierra Club honors SB for environmental role BY KRISTINA HOUCK Sierra Club San Diego recently recognized the city of Solana Beach for its work toward a more sustainable community during the organization’s annual Gala Awards June 20 at the Hilton Harbor Island Hotel in San Diego. Solana Beach received a FEAT Award for environmental leadership in government and leading the fight to ban single-use plastic bags. Mayor Lesa Heebner, Deputy Mayor David Zito and Councilman Peter Zahn accepted the award on behalf of the city. “We were happy, all three of us, to be up on the stage receiving that,” Heebner said during the June 24 council meeting. “It was a nice night. Congratulations, all.” In April 2012, Solana Beach became the first city in San Diego County to remove singleuse plastic bags from grocery stores, retailers and restaurants. The ban encourages the use of reusable bags as retailers charge 10 cents per paper bag. Supervisor Dave Roberts, who used to sit on the Solana Beach council, presented the award to city officials at the event. The FEAT Awards honored those who have contributed their time and effort as guardians of the environment, foster local solutions to global issues, help communities make sound environmental decisions about their own future, and work to raise awareness of and advocate for climate change action, according to Sierra Club San Diego’s website.
Encinitas Sheriff’s station gets new name The Sheriff’s station on El Camino Real in Encinitas is home base for deputies serving that city and many other communities, including Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Rancho Cielo. That’s a big area, and for that reason the Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 on Tuesday to rename the facility as the “North Coastal Sheriff’s Station.” The station is one of 21 within the county.

Del Mar Union School District seeks board candidate, may appoint new member on Aug. 6 BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District will go through the process of adding a board member by appointment for the second time this year after the June 18 resignation of board member Alan Kholos. Kholos left the board because he is relocating abroad for a one-year assignment with CareFusion, now part of global medical technology company Becton Dickinson. The candidate would be appointed to fill the rest of his four-year term, up for re-election in November 2016. President Doug Rafner said he has confidence they will find a worthy replacement and noted the process worked well last time, resulting in new board member Erica Halpern. “We were sorry to see Alan resign,” Rafner said. “He was a very good and helpful board member and an asset to our district. We wish him well.” At its June 24 meeting, the board decided to forgo the $280,000 to $350,000 cost of a special election and instead go through the appointment process they used in March when they appointed Halpern to replace outgoing board member Doug Perkins. The board had 11 See CANDIDATE, page 22
Del Mar resident sentenced to prison for insider trading while at Qualcomm BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A former Qualcomm executive who gained inside information about the company’s earnings and intended acquisitions and exploited it for personal gain was sentenced June 26 to 18 months in federal prison and fined $500,000. Jing Wang, 51, of Del Mar, pleaded guilty a year ago to insider trading, money laundering and obstruction of justice in connection with the three-year scheme. Wang, an executive vice president and president of global business operations for Qualcomm, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes. “Jing Wang was a powerful insider at one of the world’s top corporations, but he threw it all away to make a few hundred thousand dollars,” U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said. “While Wang has lost his power, his position and his freedom, the real losers here are investors who play by the rules, and our nation’s financial system, which is diminished with every one of these schemes.” After Wang used the inside information from Qualcomm for personal gain, he enlisted his stock broker and brother to cover it up, Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell said. In connection with his plea, Wang admitted he made three separate insider trades using See TRADING, page 22

Board OKs $12 million in improvements at five Carmel Valley parks BY KAREN BILLING Amenities like synthetic turf and comfort stations will be coming to five Carmel Valley parks as the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board gave the nod for $12 million worth of improvements at its June 26 meeting. The $12 million comes out of Carmel Valley’s Facilities Benefit Assessment (FBA) fund, paid into by developers to assure that new development pays for proportional community facilities. The board approved adding synthetic turf at Carmel Valley Community Park (at the recreation center) and Ocean Air Community Park, and new comfort stations (restrooms) at Solana Highlands Neighborhood Park, Carmel Knolls Neighborhood Park on Carmel Canyon Road, and Carmel Del Mar Neighborhood Park. Robin Shifflet, from the city’s planning department, said she will take the approved items to City Council to have them approved into the city’s capital improvement program and begin the design and construction process.
Carmel Valley Community Park is one of two parks selected to have synthetic turf fields. Photos by Karen Billing The cost of the turf at Carmel Valley is estimated at $3.6 million and the cost for upgrades at Ocean Air is $5.7 million. The comfort stations are each estimated at $868,000. The costs might be projected a little higher as they are simply planning-level costs, Shifflet said. The Carmel Valley Recreation Council made its recommendation of the top five projects in the community from a list of 16 potential park improvements. According to Shifflet, $18 million in FBA funding is available and projects that qualify for FBA funding have to increase capacity at the park, not just be physical improvements. Board member Ken Farinsky, who serves on the recreation council, said the board couldn’t agree on $18 million worth of projects, so they narrowed it to those seen as the biggest priorities. Farinsky said the council selected parks to receive synthetic turf as the ones that are the most heavily used and lighted. Replacing grass with synthetic turf does not just realize
water cost savings, but can also increase the amount of use for the fields. Farinsky said these fields are intensely used and they need to rest, sometimes having to be shut down for months for maintenance. “Synthetic turf can be used more because it doesn’t wear out the grass and we can maximize the use by doing it at sites with lights,� he said, noting they can run programs on the fields into the evening hours. As for the comfort stations, Farinsky said they selected parks from staff and sports programs’ points of view that stood out as missing restrooms or needing an upgrade. Farinsky said the council has heard a lot of complaints about Solana Highlands’ lack of restrooms and that Carmel Del Mar’s existing restrooms are “awful.� Farinsky said the council is looking to cut costs by using the design of the comfort station at the new Solana Ranch Park as a model. Chair Frisco White said he had concerns that synthetic turfs will need to be replaced in 10 years and he
Solana Highlands Park will get a new comfort station for park users. wanted to ensure there will be funding available to do so. Shifflet said they are in talks with the mayor’s office on creating a fund from the water and maintenance cost savings of artificial turf to use for replacement at all city parks. The cost to replace the synthetic turf is much lower than the cost of installation, at $1 million. Other items on the wish list for improvements are multi-sport arenas and new picnic areas at Carmel Valley Community Park, turf upgrades and lighting at Ashley Falls Neighborhood Park, more parking and seating areas at Torrey Highlands Neighborhood Park, comfort stations at Carmel Mission and Carmel Grove Park, and a new children’s play area at Carmel Creek Neighborhood Park. Farinsky said that the recreation council is always open to suggestions from the community about potential park improvements. The council meets at 7 p.m. every first Tuesday at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center. Call the rec center at 858-552-1616.

2 tuberculosis cases diagnosed at fairgrounds food service company Two people employed by Premier Food Service have been diagnosed with tuberculosis and may have exposed other employees, the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency reported recently. HHSA is working closely with Premier management to notify individuals who work at the company’s facilities at the Del Mar Fairgrounds who were potentially exposed between Feb. 5 and June 23. These facilities are not accessible by the general public. Health officials say there is no indication anyone in the general public are at risk for exposure. “TB usually requires many hours of close, sustained indoor contact to spread to others, so most people who are exposed do not develop the disease,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., county public health officer. “TB is not spread through casual contact, such as shaking someone’s hand or sharing food.” Testing is being offered to Premier staff who may have been exposed, and further testing is being conducted to determine if the two cases are related. “Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss,” said Wooten. “Most people who are exposed to TB do not develop the disease, but when it does occur, it can be treated and cured with medication; that’s why it’s important to identify those who have been exposed.” TB in not uncommon in the San Diego region, but has been decreasing in recent years. To date, 89 cases were reported in 2015. In 2014, 220 cases were reported in the county. For information on this potential exposure, call the County TB Control Program at 619692-8621. -Submitted press release
Firefighters put out brush fire in Carmel Valley BY CITY NEWS SERVICE It took ground and helicopter crews about a half-hour June 30 to quell a fire that scorched about an acre on a brushy hillside in Carmel Valley. The blaze, which posed no structural threats, broke out for unknown reasons about 11:30 a.m. off the 13100 block of Caminito Mendiola, near State Route 56, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was under investigation, SDFRD spokesman Lee Swanson said.
Woman killed in crash near Del Mar identified BY CITY NEWS SERVICE An 85-year-old La Mesa woman killed in a predawn chain-reaction accident involving four vehicles on Interstate 5 near Del Mar was identified June 26. June Takekawa Hsu died after her 1995 Nissan Sentra stalled in the far right-hand northbound lane of the freeway near Via de la Valle and was rear-ended by a 2008 Honda Accord shortly before 5 a.m. June 24, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office and the California Highway Patrol. Moments after the initial crash, a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2015 Honda Accord plowed into one or both of the two vehicles, authorities said. The 40-year-old San Diego man behind the wheel of the older Accord had apparently minor injuries, and the occupants of the other vehicles were unharmed, according to the CHP. The crash left all but one northbound lane closed during the morning commute and led to gridlock as far south as the I-805 merge.
County to defend Roberts’ ex-staffers BY JOSHUA STEWART SPECIAL TO THE DM TIMES, SB SUN, CV NEWS The county will pay for the legal defense of two former employees sued by a member of county Supervisor Dave Roberts’ staff and, if a court rules against them, possibly pay damages. In a closed-door meeting on June 23, the Board of Supervisors agreed to hire lawyers to defend Roberts’ former scheduler Diane Porter and former Chief of Staff Glynnis Vaughan. Both women are defendants in a lawsuit filed by their ex-colleague, Roberts’ driver and aide Harold Meza. “Yesterday (June 23) the board decided in closed session to defend (Porter and Vaughan) in the Meza case,” San Diego County spokesman Michael Workman said. The county will hire outside attorneys on this case in order to avoid any sort of legal ethics conflicts, but who will represent Porter and Vaughan has not been determined. “We’ll use outside counsel for that,” Workman said. If the lawsuit goes to trial and the court rules in Meza’s favor, the county might also pay for any sort of judgment. “The County is financially liable for a judgment unless it is based upon conduct that is not within the course and scope of employment under the law,” Workman said. Porter’s attorney, Chris Morris, said he hopes to defend his client in this case. Vaughan’s attorney said she could not comment. See ROBERTS, page 21

Carmel Valley planning board gives High Bluff Drive stop sign another green light BY KAREN BILLING For the second time, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved the installation of a stop sign and crosswalk on High Bluff Drive and Grandvia Point to provide a safe crossing for residents headed to Overlook Park. The board approved the stop sign in March, but rescinded its decision in April as residents against the proposal said they had been uninformed. At the June 26 board meeting, the board voted 9-3 in favor of the stop sign and crosswalk, as well as stop-sign-ahead signage and painting in the streets. Those voting in opposition were board members Anne Harvey, Jonathon Tedesco and Steve Davison, who said it did not make sense to install a stop sign and crosswalk on a blind bend and that it might make sense further down the road where there is a better line of sight. “I’m a big supporter of crosswalks, particularly along really long streets that tend to be raceways in our neighborhoods,â€? said board member Chris Moore. “I’m not crazy about this intersection, because it does have that blind curve ‌ but I respect that the neighbors are supportive of this location.â€? The board debated whether to have a stop sign and a crosswalk or just the stop sign. The board made the decision to include both after a fatal accident April 30 involving a pedestrian on Del Mar Trails Road. A 57-year-old woman was struck by a car while crossing on a crosswalk at an intersection that did not have a stop sign. Resident Sean Coughlin initially made the request to the board for a stop sign at the three-way intersection near Overlook Park. He said there is no safe way to cross the street, and the curve of the street makes crossing over to the park dangerous for the numerous families in the area. Coughlin had gathered 68 signatures in support of the stop sign. “There is very, very strong support for this in the community,â€? said resident Lindsay Burroughs. “Only one household has registered their disapproval. I do believe there is an opportunity to solve the problem in the community with a stop sign.â€? Residents Christina and Frank Winter came before the board in April to ask that the board rescind its approval, saying that they were not aware of the stop sign proposal until it had been approved and that the Alta Mar HOA hadn’t formally weighed in on the issue. The Winters have lived in their home on Grandvia for 21 years and have never had a problem. They argued that the stop sign would create noise, pollution and quality of life impacts, and that the crosswalk provides a false sense of security “The volume of cars has not increased on the street to warrant a stop sign,â€? Christina said. “Common sense goes a long way; you don’t cross the street at a blind turn.â€? Since the April meeting, Coughlin has taken the issue to the Alta Mar HOA for a formal opinion and has met with a city traffic engineer and planning board members as well as the Winters. The HOA board meeting was attended by nine residents in favor of the stop sign, which Couglin noted was record attendance for an HOA meeting. The board approved the stop sign in a 5-0 vote.
The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved a stop sign at the intersection of High Bluff Drive and Grandvia Point near Overlook Park. Photo by Karen Billing According to traffic engineer Oscar Cortez, the only other solutions for the road were curb bump-outs and narrowing the intersection. Coughlin said neither of those solutions solves the problem of the blind corner and children and families trying to safely cross the street. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when someone gets seriously injured or killed at this intersection,� Coughlin said. Board member Ken Farinsky, who lives in the neighborhood, said he agreed that the stop sign and crosswalk are needed, with so many people walking to visit the scenic park. “I see it as an accident waiting to happen,� Farinsky said. “If we don’t do it and someone gets hurt, it’s on us.� “The community has spoken, and that carries a lot of weight for me,� agreed board member Rick Newman.

Del Mar braces for American Pharoah; Triple Crowner will train on new dirt track BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO THE DM TIMES, SB SUN, CV NEWS Del Mar’s opening day on July 16 is approaching, well, like American Pharoah rolling in the stretch. And anyone at Santa Anita over the closing weekend of The Great Race Place’s 39-day spring meeting couldn’t help but notice that horse racing is in full stride right now. A big part of that is the success of American Pharoah, the sport’s first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. American Pharoah put in his first work Monday, going three furlongs for trainer Bob Baffert. This came after a rowdy Saturday in which the colt was paraded through the Santa Anita paddock, winner’s circle and then on the track. Baffert was noticeably concerned about his champion in the winner’s circle when American Pharoah had trouble settling down for a photo. After a number of tries, Baffert finally waved his arms and said, “That’s enough. Get him out of here.” On Sunday, Baffert told reporters that the “petting zoo” period was over for his colt, and now it’s time to get him ready for his last race, the Breeders’ Cup on Oct. 31 at Keeneland. After that, he’ll stand at stud. Only Baffert and owner Ahmed Zayat know where American Pharoah next will race, but one thing is certain: The son of Pioneer of the Nile will van to Del Mar on July 13 and train here for his next race. A lot has been speculated about the Triple Crown winner’s next race. Baffert said Saturday that the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on Aug. 2 and the Jim Dandy at Saratoga on Aug. 1 were possible. And when asked about the TVG Pacific Classic, he didn’t rule it out, giving his usual mantra that the colt will let him know when he’s ready to go. “We’re on his schedule now,” he said. In the meantime, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club officials are trying to come up with a plan on how to deal with having racing’s superstar housed on the backstretch. Baffert made it clear that the colt is getting back to work, and surely Del Mar will respect those wishes. At Del Mar, it’s almost certain there won’t be nearly the fuss made over the colt’s arrival as there was at Santa Anita, where he was welcomed back as a conquering hero by adoring fans, TV stations and every form of media. As much as Del Mar would like to see it, this won’t be Cigar coming in for the 1996 Pacific Classic. Talk about a zoo. All Del Mar can hope for is that American Pharoah’s scheduled works will be announced ahead of time to allow San Diego’s horse racing fans to attend them in the morning, as they did for California Chrome last year. As for his appearances at Del Mar, if American Pharoah goes to the Haskell or Jim Dandy and wins without incident, Del Mar officials can only hope to parade the game’s 12th Triple Crown winner on Pacific Classic Day. Such an appearance by the best 3-year-old to
American Pharoah was paraded around Santa Anita Saturday, but the horse looked antsy and nervous toward the end in the winner’s circle. Photo by Ed Zieralski race in 37 years would save a race that right now looks light in the haunches, considering the depleted state of the older horse division. As many have speculated, the Pacific Classic, a $1 million race and signature event in the summer for Del Mar, would be the equivalent of a walkover for American Pharoah should Baffert decide to make that his next race. Throw in a $5 million bonus from an insurance company if he should win the Pacific Classic, the Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita and the Breeders’ Cup Pacific Classic, and maybe that will be enough to keep the colt at the beach for the summer. Del Mar can only hope at this point that American Pharoah thrives here and maybe isn’t quite ready for an Aug. 1 or 2 race. American Pharoah in the Pacific Classic would be one of this city’s biggest sports days ever, but a lot will have to happen to make that go.

CCA students take honors at Iowa CCA entrepreneurs win national title State problem-solving competition BY JONATHAN HORN SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN A team of teenagers from Carmel Valley’s Canyon Crest Academy was named Junior Achievement’s national company of the year for creating a smartphone app that connected their campus. The app, called CCA Today, gave students information about events, schedules, and news on the campus in an effort to improve the overall community. Canyon Crest students Madison Moreno, Rachel Gorgas, Kinni Fux, Hannah Bush, and Lorenzo Patino were honored with the award recently in Washington, D.C. They were selected from 15 teams from around the nation who had entered products. “They put their hearts and souls into this project and the end result was so impressive,” Junior Achievement San Diego board member Ken Schmitt said in a statement. “I The CCA Today App commend them on their determination to learn from the experience, focusing on the process and realities of building and managing a business.” Junior Achievement is a program that teaches kids how to get a job, start a business, and manage money. Its annual Company of the Year competition is a contest of business skills and innovation, with nearly 13,000 students from ages 15 to 19 participating. This year, students created 700 start-up companies. Junior Achievement’s Company Program teaches them to run their own businesses under the mentorship of local volunteers.
Del Mar’s Doug Allred tapped for ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ BY DIANE BELL SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN For the past five years, Doug Allred has quietly sent flowers and gift certificates at Christmas to the wives of deployed San Diego SEAL team members. The Del Mar real estate developer, a longtime supporter of the San Dieguito Boys & Girls Clubs, even underwrote some employees’ salaries during a financial crisis, says friend John Lynch. These silent “good deeds” weren’t part of Allred’s vita when a committee of the San Diego Nice Guys organization decided to name him “2015 Nice Guy of the Year” during its gala, to be held Oct. 17. But the group, whose 36-year mission has been to give folks a hand up instead of a hand out, looked at numerous examples of the businessman’s commitment of time, money and expertise to help San Diegans improve their lives. Doug Allred Along with the Nice Guy title, the founder of the Doug Allred Co. gets to choose major beneficiaries of the gala fundraiser. As a former Navy Underwater Demolition Team member, he is acutely aware and appreciative of the sacrifices made by Navy families and is designating the SEAL Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation as a beneficiary. And because he lost his wife of 56 years in 2013 to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a devastating neurodegenerative disease, Allred wants to help families of other ALS sufferers struggling to care for loved ones. He first spotted Ann across the football field at the University of Arizona when she was a cheerleader and he was a player. “I thought she was ravishing,” he recounted to a U-T reporter. “She was my last date. I didn’t need to meet another girl.” Upon news of his selection as “Nice Guy of the Year,” Allred said he is both humbled and honored, calling the Nice Guys “angels to many people when help is needed.” Visit www.sdniceguys.com.

DM resident honored for radar systems work at General Atomics General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Remotely Piloted Aircraft systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems solutions, announced that it recently was honored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics with local awards for outstanding aerospace management and contribution to the community. The San Diego Section is dedicated to promoting awareness, activism, and access throughout the aerospace community. In the category of Outstanding Contribution to Aerospace Management, General Atomic’s Mission Systems Director of Radar Programs, John Fanelle was recognized for his achievements, which have proved instrumental in advancing the company’s Lynx Multi-mode Radar and Due Regard Radar.

Del Sol Lions contribute to Scout’s bridge repair project The Del Sol Lions of Solana Beach provided a $300 check to Eric Francis, with Boy Scout Troop 713 (Del Mar) to assist with repairs to a 16-foot equestrian bridge in the San Dieguito River Park. Eric took on the bridge repair project to satisfy a requirement to achieve his Eagle Scout rank. “The Del Sol Lions are happy to support this important community project,” said Del Sol Lions President David Cain. “We appreciate Eric’s contribution to improve one of our community’s most precious assets — the San Dieguito River Park.” According to Eric, the original bridge wasn’t built to withstand all the foot and hoof traffic, so its planks were splintering. The River Park Conservancy could afford to make only patchwork repairs, and no long-term solution was identified before Eric’s rebuild project. The previous deck pieces were 8 feet long, varied in width and 2 inches thick. The new deck pieces are weather-resistant redwood, are 12 inches wide and 4 inches thick, adding stability and durability to the heavily used bridge.
L-R: Matt Moldenhauer, Richard McGuire, Scott Clanton, Connor Wood, Wesley Bartholomew achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.
Five from Troop 782 earn Eagle Scout rank Boy Scout Troop 782 conferred the rank of Eagle Scout on five troop members on June 6 in a court of honor held at St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach: Matt Moldenhauer, Richard McGuire, Scott Clanton, Connor Wood and Wesley Bartholomew. The boys’ Eagle projects ranged from trail maintenance and construction in San Dieguito County Park to the restoration of the vegetable garden at Solana Vista Elementary School.
The overall cost to repair the equestrian bridge was more than $2,100. Eric, volunteers and Scouts from Troop 713 spent a total of 160 hours to complete the project over two weekends. Eric said he fronted the cost of project materials and is still seeking donations from the community as reimbursement. If you’d like to contribute, visit bsatroop713.drupalgardens. com.

No room for doubt in local hoteliers’ minds about Hilton/Homewood venture • Now marking 10th year, owners Bob Rauch and Joe Simone persevered despite setbacks to make their projects succeed BY KRISTINA HOUCK Opposition from neighbors, a growing recession and even a fire couldn’t stop hotelier Bob Rauch from accomplishing his dream and opening two hotels bordering Del Mar. He and business partner Joe Simone recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar “Campus,” home to the Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites in San Diego. “We accomplished exactly what we set out to do,” said Rauch, who co-owns Homewood Suites opened in May 2005. Courtesy photo both hotels with Simone. “Both hotels have been tremendous successes despite the setbacks.” Rauch planned to build two hotels on the 4-acre parcel when he purchased the property for $4 million in August 2000. Some community members at first opposed his plans in fear he would build the buildings and then leave. But Rauch, who lived in Carmel Valley for 23 years, assured them he would stay onboard as owner and operator of the hotels. “Somebody who develops hotels never runs hotels,” said Rauch, who serves as president of R.A. Rauch and Associates, a hospitality management and consulting firm. “You’re not going to find a developer who also is a true hotelier,” he continued. “The skills are typically not interchangeable. It’s a different skill set. But I have decided to be unique in life, so I am both a developer, owner and operator of hotels.” Five years later, Rauch and Simone opened Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar on May 30, 2005, at 11025 Vista Sorrento Parkway in San Diego. The 94,000-squarefoot hotel offers 120 suites. Not long after opening the doors, Rauch and Simone got started on their second hotel. In June 2007, however, a fire destroyed the nearly completed Hilton Garden Inn. The fire caused about $8.5 million in damage, destroyed 30 parked cars and also damaged a number of rooms at the Homewood Suites next door. “It was almost open,” Rauch recalled. “We were trying to catch the summer of 2007, which would have made life a lot easier for me since times were still good.” Although the economy was in a slump, the pair pushed forward with their plans. They opened the Hilton Garden Inn San Diego/Del Mar in March 6, 2008, at 3939 Ocean Bluff Ave. The 56,000-square-foot hotel offers 80 rooms, two restaurants, a spa and meeting space. “We rebuilt immediately,” Rauch said. “Neither one of us even thought for a moment that we’d give up.” Despite early setbacks, both hotels have become quite successful. In 2005, Homewood Suites brought in just under $4 million in revenue. Today, both hotels bring in more than $10 million annually. In addition, Homewood Suites started with just 27 employees. Today, both hotels have a combined staff of more than 100 people. Rauch credits the Campus’ success to its brands, location and management.
Francis Parker coach offers local softball camp For the past eight years, Jenny Schafran has been an integral part of the North Shore Girls Softball League’s coaching staff. This summer, the former University of Albany softball athlete and Francis Parker School varsity softball coach is heading up a softball camp for girls. The Performance Athletics Softball Camp provides skills and athletic training on the campus of Francis Parker in Linda Vista. “Having coached in San Diego for almost 10 years, it was clear to me that there weren’t many options for girls looking to improve their softball skills,” Schafran says. “Our aim is to break down and simplify the game and to teach fundamentals necessary to compete at the top level.” Jenny Schafran Schafran has assembled a coaching staff made up of coaches and players who have played at that level and know what it takes to get there. Victoria Jones is a former UC Berkeley softball player and a Pac 12 Champion, who played in the Women’s College World Series in 2011 and 2012. Victoria Bretz is a softball player at Niagara University. Also joining the staff is Dan Hark, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, who will go through specific training routines to help eliminate injury and build proper muscles. The 10U camp will run July 6-17 and the combined 12U and 14U session will take place July 20-31. Girls are welcome to attend one-week or two-week sessions. For information, visit www.performanceathleticsfitness.com.
Hilton Garden Inn burned in June 2007, just before it was completed. The hotel was rebuilt and opened in March 2008. Courtesy photo Having been in the hotel industry for 41 years, he said it is uncommon for a hotel to have the same owners for 10 years. “This was the goal,” said Rauch, who shares his insights and trends in the hospitality industry at www.hotelguru.com. “It was always my goal to manage them long-term.” In addition, they have retained many of their employees for years. Although hours were cut, no employees were laid off during the recession, Rauch noted. Benefits also remained intact. Six staff members also recently celebrated 10 years at the Campus. “We have a culture that’s a good fit for anybody who wants to stay and wants to grow,” said Rauch, adding that the company offers competitive wages and benefits. Looking back on the past decade, Rauch said he’s most proud of his staff’s performance. Homewood Suites has consistently ranked among TripAdvisor’s Top 10 hotels in San Diego, listed as No. 5 out of 272 hotels in San Diego. Hilton Garden Inn, which sits at No. 13, has consistently ranked in the top 15. Both hotels have Certificates of Excellence from TripAdvisor. And in 2008, Hilton awarded Hilton Garden Inn as “Development of the Year.” Rauch has also won his share of awards. He was named one of San Diego Metro Magazine’s Men Who Impact San Diego in 2012. In 2013, he was recognized as one of San Diego Daily Transcript’s Top Influentials. “At the end of the day, what really matters is what the hotel gets,” Rauch said. “Every day the hotel gets awarded one of the top hotels by our guests. That’s why they keep on coming back.” For more about Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar, visit http://homewoodsuites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/california/homewood-suites-by-hilton-san-diego-del-marSANDEHW/index.html.

DM-SB Rotary marks successful year, welcomes new president BY KRISTINA HOUCK From giving thousands of water bottles to homeless veterans, to donating hundreds of dictionaries to local children, the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club gives back to the community — at home and abroad. The club celebrated this year’s accomplishments June 7 during the “Celebration of Service” at the Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. On June 13, club members commemorated outgoing President Diane Huckabee and welcomed incoming President Dr. Seymour Myers, at the home of Rotarians Charles and Alicia Foster. “It’s been a great experience,” said Huckabee, a Carmel Valley resident who has been a Rotarian since 2002, initially with La Jolla Rotary Club. She joined the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club in 2010. “We have a tremendous club,” she said. “It’s small compared to other clubs, but the people who are members here are brilliant, smart and engaged. It’s amazing to me what they can accomplish.” This year the Del MarSolana Beach Rotary Club volunteered with 25 local organizations and provided

financial assistance to 17, including the Community Resource Center, Just in Time for Foster Youth, Reality Changers and the Pegasus Rising Project, among many others. Accomplishments included serving 6,400 bottles of water to homeless veterans during last July’s three-day Stand Down and donating 820 dictionaries to third-grade students in 11 public schools throughout Del Mar, Solana Beach and Carmel Valley. The club also donated funds and more than three dozen stuffed animals to Voices for Children, helped prepare holiday baskets for families at the Community Resource Center and presented $1,000 scholarships to two local students, among other local service projects. Among its international projects, the club financially assisted Hope Without Boundaries, which helps children who live at the old Tijuana dump attend public school. In addition, it funded medical supplies and weekly physician and nurse visits to a medical clinic in El Salvador, improvements and training at a village training center in India, and five emergency shelter boxes for earthquake-stricken Nepal. “We’re small but mighty,” Huckabee said. Huckabee recently passed the baton to new president Myers. A charter member of the club, Myers has been with the club since it was founded in 1992.
Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotarians enjoy the afternoon. Photos by Kristina Houck “The camaraderie makes this club special,” said Myers, a doctor in Solana Beach. “The club also does a lot in the community.” To raise funds for its local and international projects, the club holds a Bocce Tournament every year. About 300 people attended last year’s tournament, which netted approximately $51,000. The 19th annual Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Bocce Tournament takes place Oct. 4 at the Del Mar Horsepark. This year’s major beneficiaries are Just in Time for Foster Youth, Operation Game On and Reality Changers. Chartered in 1992, the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club grew out of the Rotary Club of Del Mar, which was founded in 1954. With more than 30 members, the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club is a tight-knit group that provides service to the community, both locally and internationally. “We’re always anxious and willing to find people who want to give back to the community and be a part of it,” Huckabee said. “To me, Rotary covers all bases. We give locally and internationally.” The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club is part of Rotary International, a service organization of approximately 1.2 million people in 34,000 clubs around the world. The club meets at 7 a.m. Fridays at Morgan Run Club & Resort, at 5690 Cancha De Golf in Rancho Santa Fe. Visit www.dmsbrotary.com.
Eden Gardens Foundation hosting third summer camp for local youth BY KRISTINA HOUCK Hoping to inspire youth to become leaders in their communities, Solana Beach’s La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation is once again hosting a summer camp retreat. The third annual La Colonia de Eden Gardens Youth Leadership Camp will take place July 13-16 at the Whispering Winds Catholic Conference Center in Julian. “In order for a community to work, it has to be a community,” said Chuy Duran, a junior at Torrey Pines High School. “You can’t just have one person running the whole thing. You need cooperation.” Chuy is one of the 45 to 50 youth ages 13-17 expected to attend this year’s camp, with most from Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community. Organized by La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation and funded by numerous local supporters, the camp offers attendees four days and three nights of fun and educational activities for only $30. “I enjoy how we meet new friends and build new bonds,” said Edgar Vergara, a senior at Torrey Pines High School. “I also enjoy learning new leadership skills so we can come back and practice them here in our community.” After attending the inaugural camp in 2013, Edgar Vergara came home inspired to make positive change in his hometown of Eden Gardens. With other local teens, he co-founded the youth group La Colonia Changers, which has since worked to improve the quality of life for residents of all ages in Eden Gardens through Photo Voice, a project that captured the positive and
negative aspects about the community. “I really wanted to help out my community so other youth around here don’t get into trouble,” said Edgar, who also helped host a town hall forum on underage drinking last year. “I wanted to encourage them to take the good route and not focus on the bad route.” For the second year, Edgar is returning to the camp as a youth leader. As a recent graduate of Torrey Pines High School, Thomas Quiroz will also be among 15 youth leaders. The youth leaders have had a hand in planning this year’s retreat, from arts activities to motivational speakers. “The camp lets the kids have fun, but at the same time, teaches them something new,” said Thomas, who first attended the camp last year. Establishing a youth camp was one of the goals of La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, an organization founded by community members about five years ago to suppress escalating drug and gang violence, as well as encourage local youth to make positive choices and improve resources for residents. Since then, the foundation has held community forums, created a community garden, launched the camp and partnered with the National Latino Research Center at Cal State San Marcos on a community assessment, among other accomplishments. A total of 35 local youngsters attended the inaugural camp. Last year’s camp attracted 50 campers. “Going to the camp was fun because I

got to meet new people,” said Isaac Macias, a junior at Mission Hills High School in San Marcos, who is attending the camp for the third consecutive year. For the first time, he will DJ the dance. Most campers stem from Eden Gardens, but others come from Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Oceanside, Vista and other neighboring communities. Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of the foundation, said the Solana Beach organization opened the camp up to youth from other communities to stop territorial behavior. “We want them to all feel comfortable no matter where they’re at,” he said. “This is everybody’s community.”
Encinitas resident Mia Montes has attended the camp since it first launched. As a recent graduate of San Dieguito Academy, she has since taken on a leadership role at the camp and is also a member of La Colonia Changers. “I didn’t grow up in this community, but I really liked getting in touch with people from different communities and different walks of life,” Mia said. “We want all communities to create a cohesive future.” For information about the camp or to attend, contact Aguilar at mannya@sbcglobal.net.

Education Matters/Opinion
Making ‘the list’ BY MARSHA SUTTON In a note referencing my column two weeks ago about the $25 “fee” the Marsha Sutton C a n y o n Crest Academy Foundation charged for physical exams for high school athletes, a parent said this was the tip of the iceberg. Her concern centered on the strong-arm tactics some schools use to raise donations from parents. It’s not just the nickeland-dime approach — $10 here, $25 there —that irks many parents. It’s the bigbuck pleas, the ones that make less well-off parents feel ashamed that they can’t afford to give. “In many different ways, the foundations urge you to pay, and shame you if you don’t,” this parent wrote. “We are now known as the ‘poor’ family, because we can’t afford to attend functions with price tags in the hundreds of dollars so that the school can buy supplies. “It’s public school, so why are we constantly bombarded with fees and costs? Thanks for shedding some light and holding people accountable.” To be fair, I also received letters from parents saying, essentially, “What’s the big deal? It’s only $25.” “Are we seriously wasting the time of dedicated volunteers and principals over a $25 charge or even the wording to charge?” one local letter-writer said. “I realize it is the wording that has everyone in cahoots and it needs to say volunteer donation, but give me a break ... education needs to be free, not sports physicals.” This parent said low-income parents “are just happy the schools have so much to offer.” Under her name, she identified herself as “a friend to many low-income families.” I see her point, too. Less-affluent families move into these districts, many sacrificing a great deal, to give their kids an opportunity for an excellent education. And indeed, many tolerate the little charges here and there, just grateful to have their children receive the benefit of the stellar ed-
ucation local districts provide. Nevertheless, there are principles — and laws — that must be followed, to adhere to the requirement for equal access to public education, and that includes all the extracurricular activities schools offer. In the Solana Beach School District, I was told that two schools — Solana Highlands and Solana Pacific — list the names of donors at school entrances, on school websites, and in emails and letters sent home to families. The foundation, a parent said, asks parents to donate a suggested $375 per child and that her family “was publicly shamed by not having our names on that list, because there was no way we could afford it.” SBSD Superintendent Nancy Lynch told me these practices are not unique to those two schools. Lynch, who resigned July 1 to take a position in Northern California, said that all SBSD schools do this, some in different ways, but that family names are listed publicly, to recognize and thank donors and to encourage others to give. However, Lynch said the amounts donated are not listed, and that anyone who gives any amount is recognized and their names are included on the list. “If anyone donates even a dollar, they get recognized publicly like everyone else,” Lynch said. It shows “they’ve got skin in the game.” Lynch said she had no objections to the practice of listing donors’ names as long as no amounts or levels of contributions are shown, noting that this is common practice for many nonprofit organizations. Feeling embarrassed When compared to the Del Mar Union School District, Solana Beach’s approach seems tame. The DMUSD’s foundation lists what’s called its “honor roll” — which names donors who have contributed $250 or more each fiscal year. Going further, the foundation lists the names of donors in bold who have given $800 or more. The names and donations are connected to particular schools, so anyone See EDUCATION, page 22

Pedestrians have the right of way To the middle-aged woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a pink shirt and driving a blue late-model Toyota Prius: That was me you almost hit while turning right onto the westbound 56 onramp from Carmel Country Road about 9 a.m. June 24. The light was green, the pedestrian “Walk” sign was lit up, I looked you in the face, and still, you turned so close to me in the crosswalk I could have easily reached out and touched your car. Pedestrians have the right of way! To the young man with short hair wearing a wife-beater and driving a black muscle car: That was a stop sign on Seagrove Street you blew past while turning right onto Carmel Knolls Drive about 8 a.m. June 15, and that was me stepping into the street with my dog. Pedestrians have the right of way! To all the morning commuters mindlessly turning right onto the westbound 56 onramp from Carmel Valley Road: That was me in the neon-green shirt jumping up and down and waving my arms to get your attention so I could safely cross at the green light with the pedestrian “Walk” sign lit up. Pedestrians have the right of way! Can you all really not wait the few seconds it takes for a pedestrian to cross the street? Wake up, Carmel Valley drivers! Look for pedestrians! Sincerely, a terrified Carmel Valley pedestrian, Janice Coy

There’s a deeper meaning to Alvarado House Last Sunday, a man named Arturo visited the Alvarado House in the garden section of the fairgrounds with his wife and two young children. They spent many minutes going from room to room with one of the docents, as the docent explained the various rooms and answered questions for the family. This prompted many lengthy conversations between Arturo and his children. As the family was leaving the house, Arturo, in broken and halting English, thanked the docents for having the house available for him to share with his family, particularly his young children. He told of how he grew up in a similar very Spartan environment and how he tried today to give his children a better life than he had experienced. Soon he had tears running down his cheeks as he thanked the docents yet again, and then he quietly left the house. The Alvarado House was the first house sold in Jacob Taylor’s Del Mar in 1885. It was on the lot that became 144 10th St. and was lived in for 100 years. The house is known by the name of its first owner, Don Diego de Jesus Alvarado, one of the last “Silver Dons” who ruled the great land-grant ranchos that once covered large areas of San Diego County. As the Del Mar Historical Society works to return Alvarado House to Del Mar, the community is reminded that there is more to Alvarado House than just its age and its contents. Larry D. Brooks, president, Del Mar Historical Society

TPHS grad Garrett Stubbs wins Bench Award bestowed on top collegiate catcher
Senior catcher Garrett Stubbs was awarded the prestigious Johnny Bench Award, given to the nation’s top collegiate catcher, it was announced recently by the Greater Wichita Sports Commission. Stubbs, a Del Mar native and graduate of Torrey Pines High School, joins 2005 Trojan Jeff Clement as the second catcher out of Troy to win the award. USC is the first school to have two award winners. He is also the third Pac-12 catcher all-time to take the honor. “I am excited and humbled to be selected for this prestigious award,” Stubbs exclaimed. “Bringing this honor back to USC and its storied baseball program, which my team returned to prominence this year, means a great deal to me.” Stubbs, who was recently drafted by the Houston Astros in the eighth round, has racked up the postseason honors, as he was named ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-American, Baseball America First Team AllAmerican, Gold Glove honoree, Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, First Team AllPac-12, Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-West Region. He finished the year leading the Pac-12 by throwing out 52.8 percent of would-be base stealers (28of-53). The senior only had three errors in 468 chances all season, while tallying 68 assists. He picked off six run-
ners and was only credited with four passed balls. Offensively, Stubbs was second on the team with a .346 batting average. He drove in 25 runs as the team’s No. 2 hitter in the lineup and started 59 of the Trojans’ 60 games on the year. The speedy catcher also led the team with 20 stolen bases. In the Trojans’ first NCAA Regional appearance since 2005, Stubbs was outstanding for the Trojans, catching all 38 innings over four games, including one 11 inning contest. He led the team with a .563 batting average (9-for-16) in the regional, with four runs scored, two doubles and three RBI. He was named the Lake Elsinore Regional MVP, along with being named to the All-Regional team. Stubbs has a career fielding percentage of .996, with only five errors in 1132

throughout the process. “It was a pretty extensive outreach,” said Dr. Sherry Ryan, principal of Chen Ryan Associates. Chen Ryan Associates developed and maintained the project website, organized a project working group and held two community workshops. In addition, the consultant worked with Circulate San Diego to survey the community in-person and online. They collected 395 surveys, which captured impressions of existing facilities and opinions about potential new facilities. Circulate San Diego also gave presentations at Earl Warren Middle School and Solana Vista Elementary School. Using community feedback, Chen Ryan Associates identified a list of segments to consider for traffic-calming and pedestrian improvement projects, prioritized the segments, and developed improvement concepts for the highest priority focus areas. While assessing the community’s needs, Chen Ryan Associates obtained manual bicycle and pedestrian counts at 35 locations throughout the city. Based on the information collected, it was determined that the greatest tendency for active transportation is south of Lomas Santa Fe Drive and west of Highway 101. This area had the highest rates of both pedestrians and bicyclists and the secondhighest rate of transit commuters. The consultant also found that the city’s bicycle facilities total a little more than 9 miles. Sidewalks total about 28 miles, and roads total nearly 55 miles. The plan’s proposed bicycle network is more than 27 miles. The pedestrian and traffic- calming focus areas consist of nearly 21 miles of designated pedestrian corridors. Combining the bicycle network and pedestrian/traffic-calming corridors, the consultant created a high priority project area list to reflect the top 20 projects. San Diego-based engineering firm KOA Corporation helped Chen Ryan Associates develop conceptual designs and specific recommendations for highpriority segments, including traffic circles,

2 North Shore girls softball teams qualify for state championships North Shore Girls Softball League’s 10U Gold team qualified for the State Tournament after finishing in third place in North San Diego County District Tournament this past weekend. The team began the tournament with two decisive wins, beating Rancho Bernardo 13-0 and Rancho Penasquitos 10-6. The team was eliminated from the tournament after losses to Carlsbad and Escondido, who won the District Championship. Team Manager Andy Sefkow said he was proud of the team’s strong performance. “These girls worked hard all season to achieve one of their goals of being one of the top teams in the district and earning spot to compete for the State Tournament,” he said. The team of 10- and 11-year-olds will compete in Lancaster from July 10-12 against some of the best teams throughout Southern California. North Shore’s 14U gold earned a spot in the State Championships in Lancaster after their performance over the weekend. The team beat San Marcos to qualify, but were eliminated after losing two hard-fought games against Scripps Ranch and Escondido, losing by only one run in each game. Team Manager Steve Walling said the 14U team proved they could be strong competitors. “The girls fought very hard against tough teams and proved they have the character to do what it takes to win,” Walling said. The team will head to the State Tournament July 10-12. Learn more at www.nsgsl.com.
crosswalks and more. “We do have one proposal per segment,” said City Engineer Mo Sammak. “I’m not saying we’re going to use all of those, but they are very good guidelines for staff, in the next 15 years, actually, to start their analysis and start getting the details of the engineering for each one of those projects.” The consultant also recommended supporting programs to strengthen the safety and awareness of walking and cycling in Solana Beach. These programs would educate the community, encourage cycling and walking, enforce rules and evaluate the effectiveness of the projects. Some suggestions were hiring an active transportation coordinator, celebrating Walk to School Day and Walk to School Week, and continuing to support BikeWalkSolana’s events. BikeWalkSolana is a local community group that advocates for better and safer bicycling and walking facilities, and promotes cycling and walking in Solana Beach. In a unanimous vote, the council certified the environmental document, which was prepared by consulting firm RECON Environmental Inc., and adopted the plan. “We drive our own destiny from this point on,” Sammak said. The newly adopted plan makes the city eligible for grant funding for new projects and programs. “We really hope for the city that this work will help you pursue grant funding,” Ryan said. “It will definitely position you really well for state of California and SANDAG funding for active transportation capital grants.” Before the council’s vote, it had been more than 20 years since the city last adopted a comprehensive bicycle master plan. Solana Beach adopted a bicycle master plan in 1993 and adopted amendments in 1996 and 2005. The city previously did not have an adopted pedestrian master plan.

it is an advisory group to bring out solutions to present to the community,” said Jeannie Kim, public relations coordinator with Kilroy at the June 26 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting. Kim said it is the hope that a community workshop presenting the working group’s solutions will be held in mid-July, potentially at the Marriott Del Mar. Once scheduled, the meeting date will be widely publicized. Chair White encouraged everyone who is interested to participate in the July and future workshop events so that developing the new One Paseo can be a true community effort. “Productive and inclusive community
participation in the process is critical to ensuring that One Paseo will be a project we can all be proud of,” Farinsky said. Under the new parameters agreed to in a May settlement with three community groups, Kilroy will reduce the project’s 28,000 average daily trips by nearly half, have 30-foot setbacks from El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Roads, eliminate one planned traffic signal on Del Mar Heights Road, cap office building heights at seven stories and significantly reduce the bulk and scale of the project.

Board member Debra Schade, who also helped bring Lynch on board, said she took the district “to the next level.” “One of the things that I admire the most is your ability to empower,” said Schade, adding that Lynch has put people in positions that have allowed them to flourish and become leaders in the district. Other board members thanked Lynch for her personal guidance. “I have looked my whole life for positive female mentors who lead people in a positive way,” said board president Vicki King. “As a woman my age, it hasn’t always been easy to find.

USC-bound Dillon Paulson grows into leadership role at SFC BY GIDEON RUBIN Asked about his most memorable experiences at Santa Fe Christian, former Eagles baseball standout Dillon Paulson instantly recalled the thrill of the perfect game. Teammates hugged. Then they celebrated on the pitcher’s mound in a giant dog pile. “A perfect game is such a team thing that you do,” Paulson said. “It was amazing to be able to do that with my friends.” Paulson, a pitching standout in his own right, didn’t actually throw a pitch in that game. On that day it was his teammate Cole Acosta, who shone. But the fact that the two-time Coast Conference Player of the Year, who will play for USC next year, counts a teammate’s accomplishment ahead of his own impressive body of work over three years on the varsity, points to the type of player Paulson has become at Santa Fe Christian. And it is his team-oriented focus that separates the USC-bound Paulson from other baseball standouts at his level, said Eagles baseball coach Don Mitchell. “He’s grasped that,” Mitchell said. “You get superior athletes and they don’t always grasp that, but he did.” It wasn’t always that way for Paulson, who came to the program with an abundance of talent and an intensely competitive spirit, but without a full understanding of what his coaches expected of him as a teammate, Mitchell said. He’s grown into a much different player. “He came in as a high-profile athlete, a very good baseball player. We knew that about him when he came in, but we wanted to mold him into that team unifier and get him to do the things that really make Santa Fe Christian the successful (program) that we are,” Mitchell said. “He’s accepted that role, and he’s excelled in it. That’s one of the things I’m most proud of about him.” It’s one of the aspects of Paulson’s game that he takes the most pride in, too. “I think at Santa Fe Christian, since it’s such a small school, you see your teammates around school all the time,” he said. “Everybody knows everybody in a small school like that.”

(Photo at right courtesy of “He deserved every single pitch of that game.” Santa Fe Christian Athletics) Judging by his accomplishments at SFC, Paulson was very deserving of his USC scholarship.

the player — not just the numbers — selected him. “(The POY) is voted on by the coaches,” he said. “They’ve seen the hard work I put in and they saw how it came out in the way I played.” Paulson credits his father, Dennis Paulson, a professional golfer, with instilling in him the work ethic and the competitive spirit that those who know him best have taken note of over the years. He also credits his younger brother, Ethan, an up-and-comer in the Eagles program who’ll be a sophomore next year, with pushing him. Paulson has come to exemplify the essence of what SFC’s program is about, according to Mitchell. “When he gets into a game situation, he’s so mentally focused that it’s very difficult for an opponent to beat him,” Mitchell said. “That rubs off on the team, because they see that in him and they recognize that if they want to excel, they need to be that same way.”

Meza’s attorney, Dan Gilleon, said it was “unfortunate” that Porter and Vaughan want the county to pay for their defense. “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Porter and Vaughan not only want the County to pay them for quitting, but now they want the County to pay a lawyer to defend them for conduct that clearly was not part of their job,” he said in an email. In a June 10 lawsuit, Meza alleged that Porter and Vaughan created a hostile work environment when they worked together in Roberts’ office. Meza says they had a friendly relationship until Porter made an “obscene comment” about “intimate marital problems” and he started to avoid her. After that, Porter “embarked on a smear campaign” and conspired with Vaughan to bother him at work. Both Porter and Vaughan, as well as former policy adviser Lindsey Masukawa, have filed claims against the county for their experiences in Roberts’ office. Claims are a mandatory precursor to possible lawsuits against the county. Porter, Masukawa and Vaughan all resigned within days of each other in April. They claim the first-term supervisor repeatedly misused government resources, had an improper relationship with Meza, and of-
fered a colleague a raise and promotion in exchange for misleading a county human resources inquiry into Roberts’ office. Morris said his client, Porter, did nothing wrong. He also argues that the county should pay for Porter’s and Vaughan’s defense against Meza since the allegations are tied to their duties as county employees. Typically, the Office of County Counsel and its in-house lawyers defend current and former staffers in lawsuits that involve their work as county employees. In this case, however, there is a legal ethical dilemma. Porter and Vaughan are poised to file their own lawsuits against the county, and if the county directly provides their defense, it could be in a situation where the county is both legal advocate and adversary. Legal experts said that this is a prohibited ethical conflict. The conflicts, experts said, can be avoided by hiring outside counsel to defend Porter and Vaughan. Morris said it would not create an ethical conflict for the county to pay him for defense counsel in the Meza lawsuit. “It wouldn’t create a conflict under the law because our pecuniary interests are aligned,” he said.

a brokerage account in the name of his British Virgin Island shell company, Unicorn Global Enterprises. First, in early 2010, before Qualcomm’s announcement of a dividend increase and stock repurchase, Wang bought company stock valued at about $227,000. Wang also admitted that, in December 2010, while attending Qualcomm’s Board of Directors meeting in Hong Kong, and hours after the board approved a non-public offer to purchase Atheros — a developer of semiconductors for wireless applications — he purchased stock in Atheros. The defendant further admitted that, just a few weeks later, he directed his stockbroker, Gary Yin, to sell the Atheros stock for about $481,000 and purchase Qualcomm stock one day before the company announced record earnings. Wang additionally admitted creating a false cover story in which he and Yin would blame Wang’s brother, Bing Wang, for the insider trading and ownership of the Unicorn account. Yin pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct justice and launder money and is scheduled to be sentenced July 17. Bing Wang, who lives in rural China, has been charged in connection with the scheme and is wanted on an international arrest warrant.

thoughtfully” and build reserves as board members look ahead to losing that state funding. The budget also reflects an increase in certificated salaries and benefits as a result of the collective bargaining agreement approved in May. Additional staffing was also required for the 2015-16 school year, including a special education resource specialist and special education aides as a result of the individualized education program process. The district will have an ending fund balance of $11.3 million, which includes the mandated 15 percent level of reserve funding for economic uncertainties, $1.6 million assigned for pensions and benefit increases, $1 million for school site modernization and $7.2 million in unassigned monies.
EDUCATION

can check the list to see who at their school has given — and by extension, who has not. One can also see the disparity between levels of giving. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation asks families to join its “Scholars’ Circle” — featuring three contribution levels: $100,000 or more, $50,000 to $99,000, and $35,000 to $49,999. Contributions, the website states, can be paid over a one- to five-year period of time, and donors receive permanent inscription on the Scholars’ Circle Giving Tree. “Traditionally, the RSF Education Foundation sent out mailers with names of donors by giving levels,” one former RSF parent wrote. “Everyone loved to see who was where.” Canyon Crest Academy’s foundation also lists names and levels of giving for each fiscal year. The website lists donors all the way back to the 2005-2006 school year. Names of corporations and individuals are provided, categorized by the following levels: $10,000 or more, $5,000 to $9,999, $2,500 to $4,999, $1,000 to $2,499, and $500 to $999. Torrey Pines High School’s foundation also lists names of donors, the most recent in its April/May 2015 newsletter, although blessedly no amounts are attached to the names. Although we’d like to think that no one would ever search for who’s missing and silently make judgments about them, those who cannot afford to donate at these levels often feel “outed” and embarrassed — labeled as either poor or selfish.
Sensitivity needed No one questions that the work of foundations in local schools helps make great schools even better. Without the generosity of donors, much of what happens in local public education would not exist. They deserve recognition and public thanks. Volunteers who help run foundations and coordinate the events they sponsor to raise money also deserve credit and our gratitude. However, it’s a fact that it’s easier to give when you are financially comfortable than when you’re not. And it can be natural for lower-income families to feel the sting of rejection, real or imagined, by others who are afflicted with what my father used to call “affluenza.” It’s not private school — it’s public. And that means taking care to ensure that all families, no matter their socio-economic status, feel welcomed and respected — and that they have been treated fairly and been given equal access to all that public education has to offer, regardless of how much money they can donate. It’s important to be mindful of how these lists make less-affluent families feel and understand that sensitivity is needed when soliciting for dollars. That’s why wording and phrasing are important, and that’s why care must be taken to ensure that schools are inclusive and accepting of families of all cultures and income levels.

CV teen becomes first Student of the Year to be honored by Leukemia Society BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley teenager Hershey Suri was recently named the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Student of the Year for the San Diego and Hawaii chapter. This was the first year that LLS has honored a student, and Hershey, a junior at Francis Parker High School, was recognized for her efforts in raising more than $10,000 for the cause. Crossing the $10,000 mark was a big accomplishment for Hershey, as her initial goal was to bring in $3,500. “I was really excited, especially as it was my first time ever raising money. I definitely want to do it again next year,” Hershey said, noting she was especially proud that she was able to surpass her goals, despite being busy with AP tests and finals. “The whole experience really changed my life.” LLS exists to find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients. Thanks to fundraisers like Hershey, the San Diego chapter brought in more than $400,000 this year and across the country they raised more than $4 million. Funds assist the most promising blood cancer research to find a cure and to make sure patients have access to the treatment and providers they need to live longer and better lives. Hershey found out about the Student of the Year contest from her school and had to write an essay to LLS. After being selected, she had 10 weeks to raise as much money as she could. “I wanted to make a difference in something, but I never had the opportunity,” Hershey said. “I thought this would be a cool way to give back and make a difference in so many people’s lives.” The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s mission was close to Hershey’s heart, as her aunt lost her mother to leukemia. When Hershey was in fourth grade, her close friend lost a brother to neuroblastoma at age 7. “I know how much it affects families, and it affected me,” she said. For her fundraising efforts, Hershey contacted her former principal at Solana Highlands School, Jerry Jones, now the principal at
Hershey Suri with her award. Photo by Karen Billing Solana Ranch School. “I wanted to raise money and do it my own way to be a new experience for me,” Hershey said. She put jars in all 22 classrooms and told the students if they raised $50 they would get popsicles, if they raised $100 they would get pizza and if they raised more than $150 they would get popsicles and pizza. In two weeks, the students raised more than $4,000 — one classroom alone contributing $300 worth of coins, dollars and checks. Hershey enlisted her cousin, Raj Sawhney, in Orange County, who brought in $1,000 at his Sihk temple. At her own Sihk temple in Poway, she appealed to the golden rule of her religion to help others and was able to collect $750. The additional money came from her large family, whose members were all happy to contribute, and thanks to Qualcomm, which matches employee donations dollar for dollar. In addition to her fundraising work, Hershey is also a taekwondo black belt, is involved in theater and mock trial at her school, and participates in various community service projects. She said she is looking forward to a summer fundraiser to offer self-defense classes in schools and toward trying to improve on this year’s efforts for LLS. “I have a lot of goals set for myself, I have a lot of high expectations, but I’m excited to see what I can do and if I can pull it off,” Hershey said.
Writing nonfiction more compelling than a great thriller for author BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Sometimes fact can be even more exciting than fiction. And when W. Craig Reed writes, that is always the case. More than five decades ago, the world was brought to the brink of destruction when Soviet President Nikita Khrushchev sent four Foxtrot submarines toward Cuba. Each one carried a nuclear torpedo. Officers aboard all four vessels, when backed against the wall by President John F. Kennedy’s naval forces, came within a breath of firing their torpedoes andstarting World War III. W. Craig Reed was the first author to bring the entire chilling story to light in his New York Times best-selling book, “Red November: Inside the Secret U.S.–Soviet Submarine War.” For the first time in print, he revealed why Khrushchev really backed down and removed his missiles from Cuba. Kennedy trumped the Soviet president by playing an ace that averted a nuclear war and changed the course of history. The ace was a new technology invented by scientists at the Naval Research Labs in Washington, D.C., and deployed worldwide by Reed’s father, U.S. Navy Lt. William Reed. In his new book, “Cold War III: How the U.S Navy Can Defeat Putin and Halt Climate Change,” Reed once again gives readers the experience of a thriller in a nonfiction read. You have served in the military and been enormously successful in the tech industry. When did you decide to also become an author, and with what genre did you begin and why? My father was an author and ghost-wrote movie director John Huston’s biography. He and I collaborated to write “Tarzan, My Father,” for Johnny Weissmuller Jr., and “Crazy Ivan,” a nonfiction submarine book. That encouraged me to begin writing my own books. You write fiction and nonfiction, thrillers and business books. Which do you find easier, fiction or nonfiction, and why? Non-fiction, as novels require much more imagination and characterization and setting and plot design. On the other hand, nonfiction requires much more research and digging for facts. How much research goes into the writing of your non-fiction? Your fiction? And do you do your own research, or do you have an assistant? I do an extensive amount of research and leverage contacts and friends in high (or sometimes low!) places with “inside” knowledge. Usually they must remain anonymous, and they also check my facts. You are a New York Times best-selling author. How does membership in that lofty club change or enhance a writing career? It does help with validation, although I’ve met some writers who I think are far better than I am who are not on the list. Your novels are fact-based, which makes them all the more compelling. With “Cold War III,” you give us nonfiction written to read almost as a novel. How do you find writing with a novelist’s sensibilities enhances the reader’s experience? And in what ways does it facilitate your intention as a writer? I’m “thrilled” that I’ve been a member of the International Thriller Writers organization since its inception almost a decade ago and now have many close friends who are No. 1 through No. 10 New York Times best-selling authors. They are all wonderful people who have helped me greatly to better my craft. Learning novel and thriller techniques has been invaluable in creating a more compelling

Craig Reed will Khrushchev during the Cusign and discuss his ban Missile Crisis by leverbooks at: aging a new technology in• Barnes & Noble Envented by the U.S. Navy cinitas, 2 p.m. July 11 and deployed worldwide by your father. What was this technology? How was your father involved? And how did the media miss this during the Crisis? The project was called Boresight, and it was classified top secret. The press missed it, as it was never revealed by the U.S. government, so the world didn’t know about it until I wrote “Red November.” My father spearheaded the deployment of and training for a new technology used to locate Soviet submarines and briefed President Kennedy and the ExComm Group at the White House during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy used the technology to locate the four Soviet submarines threatening the Cuban blockade, and he forced Khrushchev to back down. How much and in what ways does your military service inform your writing? Tremendously, as I am able to leverage my experience and contacts to discover facts others miss, and bring those facts to life in vivid color, so to speak. “Cold War III: How the U.S. Navy Can Defeat Putin and Halt Climate Change,” made its debut this spring. Without giving away the whole book, tell us a bit about the premise of it. Putin has led Russia through a major economic boom due to profits from oil and gas. He is motivated to protect his people from economic harm, and when the U.S. tried to get Ukraine to join NATO so they could control half of Russia’s gas pipes that feed Europe 33 percent of its gas, Putin invaded.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Mitschele will release “All of Our Days,” and Lee Coulter will debut his album, “People Like You.” San Diegians are invited to enjoy an exclusive show Lee Coulter Dawn Mitschele tracks never heard before. “‘All of Our Days’ is one of my most intimate albums so far,” said Mitschele, “so it means the world to me to be able to share this special collection of stories with my fans. Some of the songs on the album were written years ago and are very dear to my heart. I’m happy to finally be sharing them.” “All of Our Days” is also a tribute to Mitschele’s lifelong friend Matthew, who unexpectedly passed away. Coulter’s latest album, “People Like You,” captures a wide variety of feel-good sounds— from folk and reggae to blues and acoustic stylings.

Baked Bear off to roaring good start at Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch opening • Ice cream sandwich shop ready to start summer with cool treats BY KAREN BILLING The line stretched down the sidewalk at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch for the June 26 opening of the Baked Bear. Inside, owners Shane Stanger and Rob Robbins happily enjoyed the calm before the storm in their bright new shop, scrumptiously scented by fresh-baked cookies. “This is the first one where we haven’t felt stressed at all,” Stanger said of their fourth Baked Bear location opening. The reduced stress comes from the confidence that their staff is well-preEli Collin serves up a pared and their operation custom-built ice cream has been fine-tuned — it’s as sandwich. smooth as their butter pecan ice cream. Not to mention the comfort of having a built-in customer base that has come to love their other locations and their presence at local school and community events. As Stanger is speaking, one of the Baked Bear’s loyal young customers has his nose pressed to the glass of the door. Stanger and Robbins briefly consider opening early to accommodate the crowd. They decide to let the excitement continue to build. The Torrey Pines graduates opened their first shop in Pacific Beach in 2012 and have since expanded to a spot in Petco Park and a shop in La Costa, which opened in February. At Baked Bear, diners build customized ice cream sandwiches, choosing from flavors such as birthday cake, coffee, peanut butter and strawberry cheesecake, and using cookie selections such as chocolate chip, funfetti, red velvet and white chocolate macadamia nut.

The line trailed down the sidewalk in anticipation of Baked Bear’s opening. Danielle Salim, right, and Crinkles got in line at 12:30 p.m. for the opening at 2 p.m.
Ice cream can be sandwiched between brownies or doughnuts, or scooped into a waffle cone or Bear Bowl — a warm chocolate chip cookie bowl. Whipped cream, sprinkles and hot fudge are among the toppings that can be added. Stanger said they were bummed not to open while kids were still in school across the street at Canyon Crest Academy, but a summer opening worked just as well. With promises of free T-shirts and catered ice cream sandwich parties to the first folks in line, the crowd outside grew early. Danielle Salim, a Del Mar resident, got in line at 12:30 p.m. with her bulldog, Crinkles, to await the 2 p.m. opening. She said she is a big Baked Bear fan and was excited to have a new location so close to home. For Stanger and Robbins, opening a business in their hometown was just as special. “We feel very connected to this store,” Stanger said. “We grew up less than two miles away.” Visit www.thebakedbear.com; 5950 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130; (858) 847-2288; info@thebakedbear.com.

Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies.
Of Americans who the survey, A i h responded d d tto th nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking. But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and antilock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents. While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a
feature thatt h helps drivers gain f t th l d i i control t l over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today. Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety. Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced. Lane departure warning systems Driving while tired is unfortunately all
butt ttechnology ttoo common, b h l llike ik llane departure warning systems can helpdrivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury. Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed. But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly. Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

Don Diego Gala an ‘Affair at the Fair to Remember!’ A sold-out crowd festively came together on June 10 at the top of the famed Del Mar Fairgrounds Turf Club to fete outstanding college-bound students and feast on a gourmet meal at Don Diego Scholarship Foundation’s Peter Frampton & Cheap Trick Dinner & Concert Gala at the San Diego County Fair. A Toast of the Coast wine sampling before dinner and live auction of one-of-a-kind collectibles and memorable experiences kept the excitement level high before event-goers took their champagne and dessert goodie bags to their VIP seats for the concert. Among the Who’s Who of guests were current and past elected regional officials, 22nd DAA Board members, who also serve on the Don Diego Board, and other local luminaries, including Gala sponsors such as Leichtag Foundation’s Jim Farley and Sycuan Casino’s Amber Fields. Also present were Don Diego founding board members Joe Harper, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club CEO, and Bob Spanjian, the “Father” of Don Diego and namesake of Don Diego’s special $5,000 Spanjian Family ScholThe Don Diego 2015 scholarship recipients-(clockwise from arship.

With Gala proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s educational programs, the students relished having an opportunity to express their gratitude one-on-one to the people whose contributions are helping them achieve their college and career dreams. As Ecke told the crowd while inviting each student to the podium to loud cheers, “I’m very proud of what these kids have accomplished. This is why we’re here. Education changes the world. Together, we are helping to do that.” Speaking eloquently on behalf of the 14 recipients sharing an unprecedented $42,500 in funding this year was top $10,000 recipient and track star Hannah Labrie-Smith of Encinitas. In 2014, Hannah broke Olympic Champion Gail Devers’ 31-year San Diego record in the 300-meter hurdles. Now, on the “fast track” to success at prestigious Stanford University, a glowing Hannah addressed the gathering: “It is an honor to know that Former Encinitas Mayor Christy Guerin, Andrea Kessel, people are passionate about making an investment in our future. Lesley Yang, DDSF board members Lisa Barkett and You are transforming lives and providing so much inspiration for the youth of our community.” Roxana Foxx Rick and Elisa Jamie, Jess and Sheri Kraus, Jim and Karen A spirited live auction presided over by Don Diego Board Brailean, Gordon and Jennifer Wangers, Paul Ecke III member and 22nd DAA President Frederick Schenk raised thousands of dollars in a friendly bidding competition for unique opportunities such as two Kaaboo Hang 5 VIP tickets and personalized horseback riding lessons.

Auctioneer Schenk quipped, “The thrill may be DDSF board gone, but you can enjoy the thrill of owning this guitar forever.” The guitar ultimately was won by jubilant (“I’m ecstatic!”) B.B. member and Del King aficionado Leslie Duval, who attended the Gala with her Mar husband Julian Duval, San Diego Botanic Gardens President/ Thoroughbred CEO.

Participants compete for a cash purse of as well as the coveted Celebrity Championship trophy.” The Celebrity Championship includes a two-day Celebrity-Amateur tournament (May 29-30) nightly parties, and a 36-hole, celebrity-only competition (May 30-31). Since its inauguration year in 1999, the Celebrity Championship has raised more than $1.5 million on behalf of numerous San Diego based charities. The 2015 charitable proceeds will not only benefit the Marshall Faulk Foundation, but will also benefit the Junior Seau Foundation.

The Holy Grill: Tips for summer sizzle, safety The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Here are some classic tips to knock your flip-flops off for safe, healthy and tasty barbecue entertaining on the Fourth of July and throughout the summer. Serenade with marinade Liquid-based marinades usually have acidic properties using wine, vinegar or citrus juices to tenderize assorted meats and dial up flavor. These are ideal for flat cuts from skirt and flank steaks to boneless chicken breasts and salmon fillets. In addition, marvelous marinades have been found to put the skids on the formation of carcinogens like notorious heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that form during grilling. So marinade up! Griller’s Tip: Whip up two separate batches — one for marinating raw foods, the other for dipping and basting cooked foods — to prevent bacterial contamination. Taming of the flames When fat trickles into the coals, watch your eyebrows. These flare-ups also create carcinogenic compounds that stick to food and give it a funky taste. To control flames, choose lean meats (sorry, no marbleized cuts) or trim the fat. And keep a water spray bottle on hand just in case. Of course, discard any burnt offerings, and partially cook thicker cuts, such as a tri-tip, then finish off on the grill. Also, don’t use barbecue, honey or other sauces until the end of cooking, as they tend to promote burning. Knock on wood The art of planking uses natural aromatic hardwood planks as cooking surfaces to infuse fish and fowl, meat and vegetables with a woodsy, smoky flavor while keeping them moist and tender. Mild alder and cedar woods pair well with delicate fish, seafood and vegan
fare; more robust-flavored chicken or pork walk on the wild side with maple, apple and pecan planks; while beef and gamey meats are a good match with mighty oak and hickory woods. The plank also must be properly prepped to prevent burning or charring of the wood. Submerging and soaking in a pan of water (or for exotic taste buds, in wine, fruit juice or a savory broth) for an hour will do the trick. If the wood is not burned, it can be reused. Just wash and scrub the surface, dry well, and store for your next shindig. Aye, there’s the rub A dry rub, as the name suggests, blends dried herbs, spices, salt and sugar for a flavorful crust on various cuts of meat, fish and fowl, along with sealing in juices for a meltin-your-mouth meal. The rub needs to be prepared to precise ratios — a higher salt proportion works best for beef, gamey meats and fish, while a higher sugar content is preferable for cuts of pork. For the sweet part, brown sugar creates a beautiful caramelized essence, while white cane sugar doesn’t burn as easily during grilling. Generally, dry rubs are recommended for chunky or large cuts of meat like briskets, and as a rule of thumb use two tablespoons of dry rub per pound of meat. Temperature rising Take your fish, fowl or meat’s temperature with a goodquality meat thermometer to ensure it has been cooked thoroughly and is safe to eat. If a competent veterinarian can revive it, put it back on the grill. Beef, veal and lamb should reach at least 145 degrees (medium rare), 155 degrees (medium), or 160 degrees (medium well); same temperature for pork, but give the latter a short nap, about 3 minutes before serving. Poultry is safe at 165 degrees, while scaled fish should be cooked internally to 145 degrees. Bivalves like mussels and clams need to be grilled until their shells open-sesame; otherwise, discard. A basket case Stainless steel or copper grill baskets are ideal for foods either too fragile or difficult to flip, or that might slip through the grill, like fish, shrimps, fruit chunks or vegetables.

ready hurting from this move. Due to climate change, resources are becoming more scarce in populated areas and more accessible in the Arctic, which is why Putin is focused on owning this region. All of this sets up potential conflicts or even wars within the next few years. The U.S. has a secret weapon that most politicians don’t know about — an invention made in the Naval Research Labs — that can solve the world’s energy needs while actually lowering carbon emissions. If deployed, it could pull the wind out of Putin’s sails, improve the U.S. economy, and mitigate climate change. Unfortunately, government officials appear clueless and are not funding or focusing on this potential world-saving technology. How timely is the information in this book, and how did you become privy to it? It is extremely timely given the situation with Russia, Ukraine, climate change, the Arctic, and the U.S. economy. I was the only author invited by the U.S. Navy to visit the ICEX training camp in the Arctic in March 2011 and spent several days aboard a nuclear submarine under the polar ice cap. It was there that I learned about the potential resource wars brewing in the Arctic, and through years of subsequent research, uncovered what Putin’s real motives are and how technology invested in by the U.S. Navy can stop him and mitigate climate change. How and why is or isn’t the American government dealing effectively with Putin and his aspirations? They are trying by getting Saudi Arabia and OPEC to create an oil glut and devalue the Russian ruble, but this is a temporary measure. They can’t do it for long as it will also hurt the U.S. and Middle East economies. Also, Russia has plenty of reserves and can weather the storm. The only way they can muzzle Putin is to control his supplies of oil and gas, which is what they tried to do in Ukraine and why Putin felt he was forced to invade. In what way, if any, is Putin a danger to the world?
Only one way really counts: He is trying to move the world off of the petrodollar standard and onto the petroruble standard. If he does, it will create an economic crisis in the U.S. not seen since the Great Depression. What do you see in Putin and Russia’s future? Is he as unstoppable as many in the Western world seem to think he is? He is trying to lock up three key areas in the Arctic to ensure he can keep his oil and gas reserves high enough to meet future demand (after signing a $400B gas deal with China). He is also trying to increase gas profits and lower dependency on oil profits, at least until he can get Saudi Arabia to stop backing the U.S. petrodollar. Obama is playing into his hands by angering the Saudis with his Middle East policies. Putin is only stoppable if the U.S. and E.U. can keep him from controlling all of the Arctic’s resources, including the sea lanes, and use that control to keep him from moving the world over to the petroruble. What do you hope readers take away from your books? Knowledge that they will not get from our shallow and biased media, knowledge that will help them motivate world leaders to take proper action before it’s too late. What is the best advice you received as a writer? To write with passion and do it for the love of writing and the desire to inform and entertain others, and for no other reason. What one piece of advice would you give to aspiring authors? Everyone says this, but it’s true — rejection is your friend. Embrace it, learn from it, and use it to motivate you to improve your craft. It’s all about making progress, not about attaining perfection. Also, marketing is just as important as writing. Know who you are writing for, and what they will love, and then reach them with your books.
