Public ire causes Del Mar City Council to consider committee membership BY KRISTINA HOUCK After hearing community concerns about the formation of a new committee, the Del Mar City Council decided it will consider whether to make any changes to the committee’s makeup or membership. “We want this topic placed on an upcoming City Council agenda,” resident Greg Rothnem said during
the oral communications portion of the July 20 meeting. He applied to the committee but wasn’t appointed. “The residents are frustrated with how this was handled.” Acknowledging the community’s concerns about the city’s design review process, the council on June 15 appointed a nineperson committee to pro-

BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) looks to negotiate with the San Dieguito Faculty Association and Classified School Employees Association this fall when the three-year contract expires, trustee John Salazar has questioned the makeup of the district’s negotiating teams. At the June SDUHSD board meeting, Salazar asked whether the district could explore the possibility of having a board member involved in the negotiations, and trustee Mo Muir wondered whether they could hire an independent mediator. At the board members’ request, a discussion on the district’s current interest-based bargaining approach was put on the agenda for discussion at its July 16 meeting. Salazar said his main concern is that there is a conflict of interest with staff being at the negotiating table. “There’s an inherent conflict there because the negotiation has a potential increase in their salary,” he said. “The board could hire an outside negotiator who wouldn’t be conflicted.” District President Beth Hergesheimer said she was not in favor of having a board member in on the negotiations, citing a recommendation from the California School Boards Association (CSBA). “The CSBA does not recommend that board members be part of a school district’s bargaining team. Having one or more members of the board participate in negotiations can create conflict — both at the bargaining table and at the board table,” she said. See BARGAINING, page 20
vide input on the process, which is intended to preserve and protect the community character. The city received 28 applications for the committee. Most of the applicants attended the June 15 meeting expecting to be interviewed for the committee, but the council only asked to briefly hear the backgrounds of the three appli-
cants who were professional architects or land use planners. Concerned about the selection process, 25 community members submitted speaker slips on the topic during the July 6 meeting, with 14 members of the public choosing to talk. Although the speakers requested the council to rescind its appointments, the council stood by its deci-
sions. After the meeting, on July 14, residents upset with the committee selection process submitted a letter with 110 signatures to the city, requesting the council rescind its appointments and redo the selection process. The signatures were gathered within 36 hours, Rothnem noted, adding that See COMMITTEE, page 20

DM district approves raises for after-school program employees BY KAREN BILLING To remain competitive and to be able to attract and retain quality employees, the Del Mar Union School District board approved increasing the salaries for several positions of its after school program. At its July 22 meeting, the
board revised the salaries for positions of after-school programs worker, early-childhood site team leader, earlychildhood preschool teacher and early- childhood instructional assistant. Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, said the changes
were a way to keep really high-quality staff from leaving for positions that pay more and offer benefits. The changes represent $88,000 for all four categories and do not affect the general fund — the money all comes out of the enterprise fund, revenues from the after-school and

child-care program. The district has 70 afterschool program workers with a typically high turnover rate. They work 15 to 25 hours, depending on the need and schedule, and will see an increase of up to $2.11 an hour, depending on their position on the step scale.

DM city manager awarded $7,760 bonus SDUHSD approves special taxes for 2015-16 BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a favorable performance review from the council, Del Mar City Manager Scott Huth on July 20 received a one-time bonus of 4 percent of his base salary. “He works hard,” Mayor Al Corti said. “He’s considerate of the public and the council, which is not an easy job in any city, never mind ours.” In a 3-0 vote, the council approved a $7,760 bonus based on Huth’s 2014 performance review. Councilman Dwight Worden abstained from the vote, as it was based on the 2014 calendar year, when he was not yet in office. Councilman Don Mosier was absent from the meeting. “This was a result of a very thoughtful process by all members of the council based on a lot of good information that we asked Scott to provide,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “Scott was evaluated on a wide range of outcomes and his management style,” added Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks. “I think that he received high marks in all those areas. He’s provided solid support in a very busy time in the city.” Council members said the performance bonus is also aligned with the city’s goals. According to the staff report, Del Mar’s “general compensation philosophy has been to retain positions within 5-7 percent of the median. Before the council’s vote, Corti noted that Huth’s salary was below the median. The median salary for city managers in the region is $211,405, according to the staff report. At an annual salary of $193,988, Huth’s salary is 9 percent below the median. In June 2014, the council approved a three-year extension to Huth’s contract, effective Jan. 1, 2015 to Jan. 1, 2018. The contract requires that the council review his performance at least once a year. In related business, the council also established a new subcommittee to work with Huth on policies related to staff compensation and benefits. “Even though we’re a small city, there are pretty complicated issues,” said Sinnott, whom the council appointed to the subcommittee, along with Corti. According to the staff report, the human resources subcommittee will work with Huth on policy issues, rather than management or operational responsibilities. Policy issues include managing the pension, pension policies, pension liability and overall compensation philosophy, among others. The subcommittee will provide feedback to Huth on issues recommended for consideration and will report back to the council for direction on the issues during a closed session meeting or during a public meeting, when appropriate. “It’s a way to better inform this council about these complicated issues,” said Worden, adding that the subcommittee will create an opportunity for some of the issues to be discussed publicly. “It’s not going to change anything major — the city manager is still going to run the city administratively, we’re still going to be doing policy stuff — but hopefully it will help all of us do it a little bit better and a little bit more of it in public,” Worden said.
BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) voted 4-1 on July 16 for a levy of special taxes within seven Community Facilities Districts (CFDs), with trustee Mo Muir voting against it. As Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, explained, developers must pay fees to mitigate the impact of development. They can elect to pay development fees up front or elect to annex into CFDs, which is where Mello Roos fees come in. “The impact of development is placed on the parcel of land and paid over time. It is a special tax,” Dill said. The district has seven CFDs and each has a maximum annual tax. Developers must disclose to homeowners that they will be subject to Mello Roos fees before they purchase a home. “Every single one of the 9,008 property owners who reside in CFDs legally agreed to pay the special tax,” said District Superintendent Rick Schmitt. The 2015-16 prepayment amounts in four of the Community Facilities Districts range from $4,955 to $9,799 for a singlefamily home and $1,350 to $2,669 for a multi-family home. In CFD 99-2 and 99-3 (which include the Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe School Districts), there will be a one-time special tax of $1.17 per square foot of assessable space for residential homes and 26 cents per square foot of assessable space for commercial buildings. In CFD 03-1, there will be a $11,560 special tax for a tax class A single family
home, $3,123 for a tax class A multi-family home, $9,747 for a tax class B single family home and $2,632 for a tax class B multifamily home. As Schmitt said, the vote on adopting resolutions levying special taxes within the Community Facilities Districts has been unanimously approved by the San Dieguito board and feeder elementary boards for years. At its July 22 meeting, neighboring Del Mar Union School District approved the special tax levy for 2015-16 for its CFDs, $1.6 million in total, to repay the bonds issued by the school district to build Ocean Air and Torrey Hills schools. According to Dill, a “no” vote by the entire board on the 2015-16 version of these resolutions would go against the property owners in the district who agreed to pay those taxes upon taking title to the property. All of those properties would face liens and foreclosures because the bond holders would have the right to foreclose on those properties in order to pay on those bonds, and liens would effectively shut down all future development within the CFDs. The single “no” vote will have an impact on the district’s bond rating, Schmitt said. “Most troubling, with the 4-1 vote on July 16: the ‘no’ vote will cause our bond rating to drop, costing our taxpayers millions in added interest,” Schmitt said. “Local developers, bond rating agencies, underwriters and the San Diego County Assessors Office have already taken notice of the ‘no’ vote.”

New Carmel Valley hotel and restaurant plan moving through city review BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board heard an update on the Costa Azul project, which includes three new restaurants, a 112-suite hotel and a six-story office building on the vacant lot at Valley Centre Drive and Carmel Valley Road. The board saw preliminary and conceptual elevation plans for the cul-de-sac near Tio Leo’s Mexican restaurant and the Hampton Inn San Diego, with “fast casual” restaurants in front and density of the office building and hotel stacking toward the back. Fred and Hunter Oliver, who also built the neighboring Residence Inn, are the developers behind the project. They will be asking the board to approve a 35-foot height increase over the 60-foot zoning to build to 95 feet. The developers believe there is a precedent, as the neighboring Marriott was granted a 12-story hotel and eight-story office building. In the past six months, the Olivers have been working with the city on a second access point on Old El Camino Real, by the Carmel Valley Shell Station. Hunter Oliver said he believes the new entrance and exit point for office workers and hotel guests and staff will help alleviate adding congestion onto El Camino Real. The traffic generation, building heights and architecture for this highly visual corner for Carmel Valley will be the main issues the board will be addressing as the project moves forward, according to Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White.
Carmel Valley board approves Laterra development in Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING Pacific Highlands Ranch will continue to grow as a new townhouse development was approved on Village Center Loop Road, near the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. At its July 23 meeting, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved Laterra, composed of 69 three-story townhomes, including 11 affordable-housing units scattered throughout the project. Thirty-eight percent of the units will be four bedrooms. Tara Lake, of developer Latitude 33, said they aim to be before the planning commission for approval in September. Laterra’s townhomes will each have a two-car garage, and the affordable units will have a tandem parking garage. A common area will have a lawn area, tot lot and community barbecues. As Laterra went through the review process, residents in the neighboring Airoso townhome development expressed some concerns about the views from their homes. But according to homeowner Karen Dubey, most now seem to be OK with the complementary architecture and 35-foot height.
New principal named for Sage Canyon School BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) has welcomed William “Billy” Cameron to serve as the new principal at Sage Canyon School. “We’ve hired an exceptional person to lead the wonderful Sage Canyon School,” announced Superintendent Holly McClurg at the board’s July 22 meeting. Cameron will replace Vivian Firestone, who was principal at Sage Canyon for the past two years. Firestone is still with DMUSD, working in the instructional services department. According to Jason Romero, associate superintendent of human resources, Cameron comes to Del Mar with 11 years of experience in education in Marin County. He was a third- and fourth-grade teacher and an assistant principal before serving the past three years as principal at Brookside Elementary in the Ross Valley School District. Romero said that as principal, Cameron oversaw not only a transition to the Common Core State Standards, but the school’s shift from a kindergarten-through-second-grade school to a kindergarten-through-fifth-grade campus. “He has tremendous charisma, character and brings to us a wealth of knowledge and expertise,” Romero said, and quoted from Cameron’s application, that he aims to “provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust in their own opinions and realize their full potential.” Cameron was at the July 22 meeting and will begin the
William “Billy” Cameron process of moving from Northern California. He said it was his “pleasure and honor” to be a part of the community. Cameron will begin his work as the principal at Sage Canyon School on Aug. 3, 2015.

Torrey Pines wins California High School of the Year Award for second time Torrey Pines High School was recently selected as the state’s top high school athletic program for the 2014-15 school year. In order to win the award from Cal-Hi Sports, “a high school must have at least one team win a CIF state championship or be considered No. 1 overall in a sport in which there isn’t a state championship.” The undefeated Torrey Pines boy’s tennis team (31-0) earned this distinction at the national level by winning the National All-American Invitational Tournament in which Falcon teammates Jacob Brumm and Charlie Pei were chosen all-tournament players. The team also won the CIF USTA Southern California Championships and defeated the winner of the CIF Northern California USTA. What clinched the state’s top award were other Torrey Pines teams finishing among the state’s best in girls tennis, boys golf, girls golf, girls volleyball, boys swimming, girls swimming, boys soccer and girls soccer for the 2014-15 season. The Falcons also had solid finishes in boys’ volleyball, football, boys’ basketball, girls’ basketball, baseball and softball. Cal-Hi Sports cited the fact that all 15 Torrey Pines teams listed in MaxPreps had winning seasons against top D1 competition. According to Torrey Pines Principal David Jaffe, “We are so proud of all of our athletic teams both in how they compete and how they represent Torrey Pines High School in the San Diego region and throughout the state. While their athletic success is being celebrated through Cal-Hi Sports’ designation as the No. 1 athletic program in California, we are most proud of who they are as young men and women as they truly epitomize student-athletes with close to 70 percent of our athletes earning a 3.5 GPA or higher.” This is the second time Torrey Pines was selected as the state’s top high school for overall sports excellence. The first was 11 years ago when the Falcons ranked among the state’s best in field hockey, girls golf, boys golf, boys lacrosse and girls soccer for the 2002-2003 season. Torrey Pines already ranks as the top school in San Diego County with the most CIF Championship titles. This tradition of excellence continued in the 2014-15 season with Falcon teams winning seven CIF San Diego Section and 10 league titles. In addition, a school record 52 student-athletes from the Class of 2015 were recruited to colleges such as Air Force, Amherst, Bates, Boston College, Cal, Claremont McKenna, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Oregon, Pomona, Princeton, SDSU, Tufts, University of Chicago, UCLA, USC, Washington and Vanderbilt. Here are some of the highlights of the Falcons’ 2014-15 season: Tennis: In addition to the boys’ team earning state and national titles, the girls’ team continued their record winning streak by clinching their 25th consecutive CIF San Diego Section Championship. They also ranked #2 in the state as runner up in the CIF USTA Southern California team playoffs. Golf: The boys and girls golf teams both ranked #2 in the state as runner-ups in the CIF state finals. Soccer: Both boys and girls soccer teams won games in the CIF Southern California regional playoffs. The boys’ team also made it to the open division section final. Volleyball: The girls’ team won the CIF San Diego Section Open Division Champion-

Basketball: The boys’ team was state-ranked for almost the entire season (31-4), runnerup in the San Diego Section Open Division final, and advanced to the Southern California D1 playoffs where they won two games. The girls’ team advanced to the CIF Open Division playoffs and the Southern California regional playoffs. Swimming/Diving: Both girls and boys teams swept the CIF San Diego Section team championship titles. Other League Championship teams: Field hockey, baseball, boys’ water polo and girls cross country. Cal-Hi Sports said in a statement, “Congratulations to athletic directors Charlenne Falcis-Stevens (girls) and Matt Livingston (boys) and to all the Torrey Pines coaches and athletes for a truly phenomenal year of accomplishment.” Visit www.calhisports.com.

‘ACT III’ offers a plan for an engaged retirement in the 21st century BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Behind every great nonfiction book is research-based knowledge. And that knowledge is imparted in a way that gives us takeaways — information that is useful to us in our lives. When the book is also eminently readable, that is a bonus. In “ACT III: Your Anti-Retirement Playbook,” authors Cecilia Williams, Ph.D. and Paula White, CPA, MBA, redefine retirement for the 21st century, referring to that time in our lives instead as ACT III — it being the time of conflict resolution and some of the most exciting action of our lives. Lots of retirement books are available, and these authors seem to be aware of them all. Most of them focus almost entirely on financial preparedness. “ACT III,” written really for anyone 35 and older, addresses instead the need to stay relevant throughout all the acts in our lives and how particularly to do so during ACT III. The writers will be speaking from 3-5 p.m. Aug. 8 at Barnes & Noble Grossmont; at 4 p.m. Aug. 9 at Barnes & Noble Oceanside; and from 3-5 p.m. Aug. 15 at Barnes & Noble Encinitas. Recently Williams and White answered some questions: What do you see as the traditional definition of retirement? The traditional definition of retirement is you put up a “Gone fishin’” sign and leave town. Seriously, your retirement day is a ceremony launching you into a role where you are no longer part of the mainstream. You’ve earned your rest. Now you can
“spend” your time on puzzles, golfing, traveling. One of the reasons we enjoy these activities now is that they are short pleasurable diversions. Too much leisure can lead to boredom and depression. What’s wrong with this vision of retirement? Is it still a practical reality? Today’s 65-year-old is not ready to be put out to pasture. On the practical side, few can afford to retire. More importantly, with life expectancies stretching beyond 100, it is not right to lump the life role of a 65-yearold (in with) that of a 90-year-old. People either view retirement as something to look forward to or as the beginning of irrelevance. Where are you on this scale? Why? Personally, we look forward to spending more time on our purpose. For us, that purpose is having all people evolve and share their skills, their wisdom and their gifts for as long as they can without artificial barriers. One should never leave anything; they should always move towards something better. How must retirement be reconfigured for the 21st century? Why? Let’s get rid of the word; it does not fit. Today society interprets retirement as being financially secure so that you no longer have to maintain a job in order to live. That’s all it means. ACT III is a stage of life, not a financial condition. As an example, 150 years ago there was no stage of life called adolescence. One went from childhood to adulthood. By recognizing adoles-

are retired and experience it? In traditional retirement, the greatest loss is social connection. Work is no longer a given topic, so now what do you talk about and what binds you to other people?
What are the biggest retirement myths? The biggest retirement myth is “55+.” The second half of life cannot be defined by one word. Carrying an AARP card does not mean we are aged. It means we have entered the time of life when we can make choices, given the flexibility created by skills, financial foundation and an acute understanding that now there can be no excuses for not living a life of balance, joy and purpose.
Is there a better word for retirement in the context of the way we live today? Yes, ACT III! Only by coming up with a new word can we discuss the complexity that fac-

Author seeks to find germ of truth in gluten-free controversy BY KRISTINA HOUCK To eat or not to eat gluten — that is one of the most-asked health questions of today. Author Stephen Yafa set out to make that question easier to answer for readers of his latest book, “Grain of Truth: The Real Case For and Against Wheat and Gluten.” “I didn’t go in prejudiced one way or another,” he said. “I just wanted to know what this thing is all about and whether it has any validity.” Based in Mill Valley, California, Yafa is an author, novelist and screenwriter. He’s also a wine producer of pinot noir in the Russian River region of West Sonoma, and writes about wine for the San Francisco Chronicle and other publications. Yafa turned his attention to gluten after his wife, Bonnie, returned from a health retreat about three years ago and announced she had a “gluten neck.” “I waited for the punch line of the joke,” Yafa recalled. “She and I have never had any interest in fads — food fads or other fads.” As his wife cut bread from her diet to eliminate her neck pain, Yafa began to research wheat. Although he found articles and books that agreed gluten was “Satan’s spawn,” Yafa wanted to find the answers to his own questions. Before long, a new book emerged. Yafa explored the “true nature of wheat today” by traveling to bakeries and factories and talking with experts in the industry. “I found it very interesting to explore,” he said. Published in May, the book breaks down the botany of the wheat plant, the science of nutrition and digestion, the effects of mass production on health, and questions about gluten and fiber. “I’m trying to empower people to actually know what they’re up to, as opposed to just making assumptions based on what people tell them,” Yafa said. Yafa will be discussing his book during a lunchtime meet-and-greet book signing Aug. 5 at The Curious Fork in Solana Beach. The free event takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “A lot of people who think a non-gluten diet is healthier for them probably could use a little more information than they have,” said Yafa, who is also taking part in the Aug. 4 “BREADtalks: Sip Taste Learn” event at the Leichtag Foundation in Encinitas, along with Barbara McQuiston, co-founder of The Curious Fork. “My point is to really give people back the power to make a decision about what’s good for them.” The event is being held a little more than a year after The Curious Fork opened in Solana Beach. Co-founded by chefs McQuiston and Kai Peyrefitte, The Curious Fork opened mid-June 2014 in the Ocean Pointe complex just north of the Del Mar Racetrack at 512 Via de la Valle. “We want to feature more authors and we want to talk about this topic, which I think is very important,” McQuiston said. “It’s very important for people to know what’s in their food.” Although The Curious Fork is known for its organic, gluten-free food, the local eatery is also an all-in-one café, shop and cooking school, offering a variety of cooking classes, chef

More improvements coming for six Carmel Valley parks BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved an additional $6 million worth of park improvements at six Carmel Valley parks at its July 23 board meeting, including comfort stations, picnic tables and shade structures. The additional park improvements come after the board approved $12 million in improvements in June, for a total of $18.1 million out of the Facilities Benefit Assessment (FBA) fund, paid by developers to assure that new development pays for proportional community facilities. Ken Farinsky, who serves on both the planning board and Carmel Valley Recreation Council, said the council has been looking at an unfunded-needs list for several years. They were able to narrow it to their initial five projects last month and worked to build consensus on how to “spread the wealth” of FBA funding to benefit as many areas in the community as possible.

Solana Beach man wants to keep lawn green with purple-pipe water BY JOE TASH Dave Ferguson stands at the low chain-link bordering the yard of his Solana Beach home. Beneath his feet is a lawn gone brown, thanks to water cutbacks triggered by California’s four-year drought. On the other side of the fence is a slope covered by lush, green ground cover. Ferguson, who is retired from the commercial real estate business, is trying to convince local water district officials that his lawn can easily be as green as the slope behind his house, without using a drop of precious drinking water. His proposal is to hook up his sprinkler system, and those of his neighbors, to the purple-pipe recycled water lines that are used to irrigate the slope and other common landscaped areas in his community. “To me it’s a no-brainer,” said Ferguson. “You have a logical, low-cost solution to an emergency situation. Why not expedite it, cut some of the red tape and go for it?” Ferguson has been in touch with the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which provides water to the residents of Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, to see whether his sprinklers can be hooked up to the recycled water line that runs just a couple of feet from his backyard fence. Officials with the Santa Fe District and the San Diego County Water Authority, an umbrella agency that serves as a water wholesaler to member districts such as Santa Fe, said they are open to the idea, but caution that there are both regulatory and financial hurdles to overcome. Recycled water is wastewater that has been treated three times, and is fit for such uses as construction, firefighting and landscape irrigation, but not for human contact or consumption, said Michael Bardin, Santa Fe’s general manager. The water is conveyed in a separate system, which is generally marked with purple pipes, to distinguish it from the pipes that carry household drinking water. Three state and local regulatory agencies must sign off on any new recycled water hookups, said Bardin and Toby Roy, water resources manager with the County Water Authority. Before a residential sprinkler system could be hooked up to recycled water, said Bardin, an engineering study would have to be completed to map out safeguards against cross-contamination with the potable water system. Bardin said the County Water Authority is working with regulators to create a template for hooking up residences to recycled water. That would save individual homeowners such as Ferguson the expense of completing their own engineering report. But homeowners would still have to pay for the costs of physically tying in to the recycled water system, which would include a new water meter. “While it might seem simple, and the pipe is right there, there are going to be costs, and the homeowner is going to have to bear those costs,” Bardin said. Even if a countywide engineering report is adopted, said Roy, each homeowner would probably have to prepare a streamlined site plan for recycled water. The regulatory process is likely to take several months, she said. “These homeowners aren’t going to be hooked up overnight, even if you streamline the process,” Roy said. Recently, Roy worked with San Diego County water agencies on a similar streamlining effort regarding recycled water fill stations. These could be set up for use by commercial entities, such as street-sweeping or construction companies. Eventually, they might be opened to homeowners, who could fill barrels for use in watering their lawns or gardens.
The Santa Fe District is looking at a variety of ways to conserve potable water, such as working with large estate owners and organizations, including the Rancho Santa Fe Association, to expand the use of recycled water, Bardin said. Also under study is “potable reuse,” a form of water recycling in which wastewater is purified to drinking-water standards. “We have seen increased interest in recycled water with the drought. Recycled water is part of our solution, one of the tools in the tool kit,” Bardin said. The advantage for homeowners is that recycled water is not subject to the use restrictions or water rationing imposed by the district in response to water-use cutbacks ordered by the state. Recycled water is also cheaper than potable water. There are health and safety rules regarding recycled water, however, such as restrictions on when watering is allowed, and prohibitions on runoff.

He expressed skepticism that regulators would go along with the idea, even as he urged them to make it happen. “What I anticipate is, here are 500 reasons why we can’t do it, and if you don’t like those, here are 500 more,” Ferguson said. “We’re in an emergency situation. We have to think outside the box.”

Del Mar Foundation awards $6,000 grant to San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) has been awarded a $6,000 grant from the Del Mar Foundation towards construction of the River Path Del Mar. The river path provides a scenic overlook of the San Dieguito Lagoon and River, complete with interpretive signage of the flora and fauna of the river and lagoon. The trail goes from Jimmy Durante Boulevard west to the coast and parallels the south edge of the river. “The River Path Del Mar provides the community a unique view of three wetland areas as they walk, including the San Dieguito River, Lagoon and Estuary. It’s a perfect opportunity for nature education and outdoor recreation for people of all ages and abilities,” said Trish Boaz, executive director of the Conservancy. This grant will help fund the construction of the portion of River Path Del Mar from Jimmy Durante Boulevard east to the Old Grand Avenue Bridge, providing scenic vistas of the lagoon wetlands and interpretive information of the flora and fauna. “One of the most important assessments we make before funding a project is whether it has the strong local support of the entire Del Mar community, and there is no question that River Path Del Mar meets that test,” according to Ira Sharp, chairman of the Del Mar Foundation’s Grant Committee. “Del Mar residents have demonstrated through their hard work and financial contributions that they want to see this park completed, and we are pleased to help make that vision a reality.” The total project cost is estimated at $475,000. This covers project design, entitlements and easement acquisition, environmental review and mitigation, and construction. More than 60 percent has been committed through a $150,000 grant provided by San Diego County District 3 Supervisor Dave Roberts’ office; $73,000 in private donations; $34,500 in grants received by the Conservancy ($20,000 from the Tippett Foundation, $7,000 from REI, $6,000 from the Del Mar Foundation, and $1,500 from the California

American Pharoah training at DM track BY KELLEY CARLSON For the first time in its history, the Del Mar racetrack has been hosting a Triple Crown winner. American Pharoah — who this spring became only the 12th horse to win the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes — arrived at the seaside oval on July 14. He has been training for his next start, which is expected to be the Grade I, $1 million Haskell Invitational on Aug. 2 at Monmouth Park in New Jersey. A typical morning for American Pharoah involves a visit to the track under exercise rider Jorge Alvarez, walking around the barn area to cool off, and receiving a bath. According to a news release, the 3-year-old superstar will ship to New Jersey on July 29, and is expected to head back to Del Mar the day after the Haskell. While American Pharoah has been the center of attention in the mornings, plenty of stakes action has

Youth of the Year honored from La Colonia Branch of SD Boys & Girls Clubs Elvert Vasquez, 16, was named Youth of the Year recently by the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. Elvert was sponsored by Voit Real Estate Services from the La Colonia Branch in Eden Gardens, Solana Beach. He received an HP laptop and backpack and a $1,000 college scholarship from The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Foundation. Vasquez was honored at the organization’s largest fundraiser of the year, the third annual Youth of the Year Celebration, held July 24 at the Del Mar Racetrack (see page B14 for event photos). Elvert Vasquez’s story, in his words: “Before I had joined the Club, I did not receive a lot of academic help and was struggling with school. Neither of my parents received a high school or college education and neither could read or speak English. Therefore, they were unable to help me with my school work. It was a very depressing time in my life with sometimes feeling lonely and having no Elvert Vasquez one there for me. “Slowly I became more and more comfortable with the people in the program, the staff members, and more comfortable with speaking English. It was a great relief for me because I now had confidence in myself and in accomplishing my goals. Eight years later, after my first day at the La Colonia branch, I am scheduled to graduate Torrey Pines High School in 2016 and will be the first in my family to graduate high school! “Thankfully, Boys and Girls Clubs have a program called College Nights which has taught me so much about the road to college, and I have made the decision to aim for a 4-year university. “My community has given so much to me that I strive to give back to the community. I volunteer with the city of Solana Beach in the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Cinco de Mayo event, Casa de Amistad program, feeding the homeless in downtown San Diego, and participate in community trash pick-ups. “The Club has a very big influence on the educational needs of students like me and offers the necessary tools and supplies to those who do not have access to them. Thanks to the Club, I have a positive vision for myself and have the tools and support to achieve all my goals.”
Gary and Mary West Foundation of SB honored for intergenerational programs Washington, D.C.-based Generations United announced recently that the Gary and Mary West Foundation of Solana Beach is the recipient of the Generations United Leadership Award for Outstanding Support of Intergenerational Programs. The award, given recently at the Intergenerational Action on a Global Scale conference in Honolulu, honors a funder whose support has led to significant advances in the intergenerational field. “We are honored to present the Gary and Mary West Foundation with the Generations United Leadership Award for Outstanding Support of Intergenerational Programs,” said Donna Butts, executive director of Generations United. “The foundation has been particularly instrumental in supporting the development of intergenerational programs in San Diego, such as Serving Seniors through the creation of their flagship Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Center, which has been recognized internationally as a model for successful aging.” The Gary and Mary West Foundation was created in 2006. Two of the foundation’s central focuses are improving the quality of life of low-income older adults and helping urban youth find employment. The foundation has paid particular attention to funding a variety of intergenerational programming, and is also focused on creating a health care delivery system that provides high-quality, more accessible care at a lower cost. Other 2015 recipients of Generations United’s leadership award are: Dr. Robert Putnam, Michelle Singletary, Dr. Matt Kaplan, Dr. Alan Lai, Family Education & Support Services of Olympia, WA, ‘Iolani School, Sweet Readers, Elouise Frank, Taylor Hamai, Sandy Kraemer and Dr. Nancy Henkin. The Gary and Mary West Foundation is the second-largest private, 501(c)3 non-operating foundation in San Diego. The foundation funds nonprofits primarily based in San Diego and Omaha, Neb., with a proven record of achieving measurable and meaningful results. For information, visit www.gmwf.org.

For TPHS grad, baseball superstardom comes catch by catch BY ROB LEDONNE Only four short years ago, catcher Garrett Stubbs, then a star of Torrey Pines High School’s varsity baseball program, left North County behind to attend USC and lend his talents to the mighty Trojans. Now Stubbs, a Del Mar native, is making moves again by transitioning to the minor leagues; this after earning his degree from USC this past spring and putting Trojans baseball back on the map. “It’s been going well so far,� said Stubbs on a recent Sunday afternoon about his career. “I think the key is that you can’t think too far ahead, and you can’t think about the successes or the failures.� That seems to be working for him. Along with receiving his degree, Stubbs also recently won the Johnny Bench Award — a prize annually bestowed upon the country’s best catcher in college baseball. “It was a huge honor just to be nominated,� Stubbs said of the award, in which he beat out a nation of young catchers, first making it to the top three. The announcement that he had come out on top was made at a ceremony in Kansas City. “We had a huge year with USC and I was proud to win it for the school.� Stubbs winning marked the first time in Johnny Bench Award history that the same school has won twice: USC catcher Jeff Clement last won top honors in 2005. It was welldeserved, considering Stubbs led the Trojans to their first play-off slot in 10 long seasons. Stubbs’ talent on the field also caught the attention of MLB when the Houston Astros set their sights on him. “Last year when I was a junior and became eligible for the draft, the Astros called

Right: Stubbs in action, doing what he does best. Courtesy photos up and asked me to sign, but I wanted to come back to USC for my senior year and get my degree. I think I had a chip on my shoulder, since we hadn’t gotten to the playoffs yet.� His gamble of holding off to join the minors wound up paying off, and in June he was drafted again — but not before being voted the Pac-12 defensive player of the year while at USC, yet another coup for the 22-year-old player. “I know my agent was in discussions� with the Astros, said Stubbs. “But it was a complete surprise watching the draft on TV and hearing my name. I hadn’t personally talked to them at all, so everything came together faster than you’d think.� Now, Stubbs has begun the process of working
his way through the minors and, he hopes, up to the majors — but not until participating in the grueling farm system that weeds out players until the cream of the crop enters the big leagues. “I’m happy to be with the Astros, since they take a lot of pride in their younger players,� said Stubbs, who already worked his way up to the second level of the system and is in Davenport, Iowa, playing for the Quad Cities River Bandits. “I could play the rest of the season here, or they can move me to the next level, which is another team in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.� Regardless of what happens from here on out, Stubbs has his many accomplishments to look back on. “I’d have to say that my entire senior season at

a USC was a highlight,� he said. “I was most proud to get my degree from USC and continue their athletic tradition. Being a part of that was really special, and it’s nothing that anyone can take away from me.� This coming season, another Stubbs will be found on the field playing for the Trojans — Garrett’s brother CJ. Also a graduate of Torrey Pines, CJ is following in his older brother’s footsteps (and their two grandfathers before them), taking part in the Trojan tradition. “It just so happens that he’s also playing baseball for USC, but he’s making his own legacy and path,� said Stubbs. “I try to help him as much as possible, but he’s one of those people who works really hard and has the same kind of passion and competitiveness as I do.� Despite all the attention he’s received (including recent stories in the Los Angeles Times and USA Today), Stubbs will continue to focus on the game at hand. “It’s been a lot of fun so far,� he said, “and I hope to continue playing for a very long time.�

Former TPHS student Taylor Fritz widely considered ‘new face of American tennis’ BY ROB LEDONNE It’s being said in outlets such as USA Today and on ESPN: Taylor Fritz, the 17-year-old former Torrey Pines High School student, is “the most exciting young tennis player in the world,” “the savior of US men’s tennis,” “the next Andy Roddick,” and, according to the The Los Angeles Times, “the next big thing in tennis,” period. So what does Fritz think of all of the recent attention being showered upon him? “It’s amazing,” he said, quickly adding that he tries not to let the adoration and hype go to his head. “It’s a great accomplishment, but a lot of people have been hyped up in the past who haven’t lived up to it. So I try not to get too cocky about it.” As the first American in more than a decade to ascend to the No. 1 slot in the junior world rankings (the last person to capture that title was Roddick himself in 2003), Fritz is making a worldwide name for himself in the sport, which he first started playing at his home in Rancho Santa Fe when he was just 2 years old. “My earliest memory was playing at the tennis court at my house with some college guys and my dad,” he remembered. “I think they took it easy on me.” Fritz points to his parents, Guy and Kathy — former players themselves — as the beacons who led him to excel in the sport. “I can definitely say without a doubt that I wouldn’t be where I am without the help my parents have given me,” he said of his mother and father, who made a name for themselves playing for a time on the national circuit. “They’ve always done what’s best for me and are great coaches. I’m very thankful.” Along with the knowledge his parents imparted,

Fritz has a strong work ethic and natural talent. That combination helped him locally, where he became a standout while attending Torrey Pines, and nationally, after he left the high school during his sophomore year and began taking online classes to fully focus on pursuing his athletic career. Further cementing his status as a breakout star was a plum spot at Wimbledon earlier this month, where he was one of the esteemed event’s most talked-about names. (After watching him play, ESPN’s Peter Bodo wrote that Fritz is “tailor-made for today’s game” and “already generates outstanding power.”) “Wimbledon was amazing,” said Fritz of his experience in England during one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events. “I played it last year and did well, so I was really excited to go back and compete again.” While Fritz didn’t triumph as much as he would have liked — losing the boys’ singles semifinal to fellow American Reilly Opelka — he still considered the tournament, and the attention around it, a stepping stone. “It was still a great time and I loved being there.” Next, Fritz has a major choice: Either head to USC and start his academic career, or forgo school and head straight into the pros. While he concedes that “anything can happen in the next couple months,” he’s leaning towards entering the professional level, which would lead to a whole new round of attention — and challenges. He has some boldfaced names in his contact list to ask advice. “Mardy Fish and James Blake have both said that I can give them a call and ask them for advice whenever I want,” Fritz said of the two tennis titans. “I’ll probably take them up on that, since whatever they have to say would be extremely valuable to me.” No matter what’s in store for Fritz in the coming months and years, he said he’s nevertheless grateful to continue to climb the ladder. “It seems like I’ve had the most attention at the fastest rate,” Fritz said. “I never thought I’d be playing at the international level. I actually never imagined all of this would happen. I just kind of worked hard, and it’s all coming together. It’s coming so fast. “Unlike all of my peers, the other top juniors, I was a nobody just a few years ago. A lot of people had attention throughout their careers, but this is all very new to me.”

DMCV Sharks runners-up at 3rd straight US Youth Soccer National Championship final Tulsa, Okla., was hot, humid, and showed the So Cal DMCV Sharks team lots of beautiful lightning shows as they competed in their third straight US Youth Soccer National Championship final. But most of all, it provided a great setting for the final week of games for this group. The Sharks won their bracket with 3 wins, scoring 7 goals and giving up 0. KC Metro Dynamos were unable to match up with the Sharks winning 5-1 in the semifinal game. This win set up an all-Cal South championship game against Carlsbad Elite. It was a well-played game and Carlsbad was able to place a set piece header into the goal for the lone score and to win the title. The final game brought to a close six years that Felicia Kappes has coached this Sharks team. The bond that the team has created over the years shows on and off the field. This last game and the tournament have allowed the Sharks girls to make memories to cherish for the rest of their lives. DMCV Shark Director Shannon MacMillan stated, “This team will always be champions and I have no doubt they will all be so successful in their new chapters. They have set the bar high for the club and been amazing role models to all of our teams.” The team and parents are grateful for the support of MacMillan and the entire club for their emails, Twitter and Instagram posts all the way to the special gifts waiting for the girls in Tulsa. “First of all, I want to thank everyone who has supported us: from our local Shark community, our friends and family, club teams from all over the country, as well as college coaches who have enjoyed not only our competitive team mentality but our possession style of play,” said Kappes, head coach of the DMCV Sharks U18 team. “What I am most proud of as a DMCV Shark coach and the director of the college program is that our players are prepared to be impact freshmen at the collegiate level. We would have loved a storybook ending, winning three US Youth Soccer National Championships in a row, but we also recognize the priority was developing our players for the next level technically, tactically, physically and mentally. “These girls know they are ready and are forever champions. They were disappointed, but not defeated or defined by this one loss today. We tip our hats to Carlsbad and their success in this incredible tournament. The fact that we have inspired so many teams like our competitor to strive to be as successful (as we are) is a true testament of our incredible accomplishments through the years. Their DMCV Shark legacy is bigger than this one game.”
CCHS tennis team members volunteer to assist wheelchair athletes at meet Several Cathedral Catholic High School Tennis Team players volunteered recently at Balboa Park Tennis Club to help with the 24th annual Hendrickson Wheelchair Tennis Classic Tournament. The CCHS students, who are coached by Ron Marquez, helped the more than 30 participants in all aspects of the tournament, including scoring, line calls, and assisting the players. The students are required to complete 20 hours of service hours during their freshman, sophomore and junior years of high school for a total of 60 or more at graduation. The event started at 8 a.m. The CCHS boys helped set up the event for check-in and got an education on how to fix the broken wheelchairs. They also tried out the latest in wheelchair technology and took them for a spin themselves. Unfortunately, the event was paused at noon as rain poured, complete with thunder and lightning. About 30 wheelchair participants took part, traveling from all over the country. There were three levels of men’s singles and two levels of men’s doubles, as well as junior singles and doubles. The wheelchair tennis player is allowed two bounces of the ball and the player must return the ball before it hits the ground a third time, but the second bounce

The CCHS Christian Service Program aims to form conscience, build community, and develop faith-filled leaders for the future by capitalizing on students’ God-given talents. This is accomplished through a structured format that encourages students to serve in different areas of need during each of their first three years at the school. Potentially, the Christian Service Program allows students to experience Christianity in a dynamic way by actively participating in a wide variety of service opportunities.

Courtesy photo One final key point to acknowledge is the manner in which they represented themselves in youth soccer, said Kappes. “We not only played great soccer but truly appreciated and cherished the special bonds of friendship and loyalty on and off the field. Our camaraderie was the key ingredient to our success and for the life lessons learned on and off the field these six years together.” Hailey and Sam were named to the Tournament Best 11 players for the GU18 age group. Best wishes to the entire team as they head off to colleges across the country and share their talents with new teammates and coaches. Everyone is so proud of them.

es this stage of life. It is up to us to determine what that means. We wrote the book to start a groundswell to redefine the stage and eventually redefine society. So often retirees seem a bit disconnected from the rest of society. In what ways can we stay connected after retirement? Recognize that we always are part of society. What role do we want to play? Older people in society have traditionally been called upon for their wisdom. Third actors have a voice. It is time people heard it. The power of their voice could help solve the problems of the world. In what areas do we need to stay current even if we decide to retire? Why? Simply, all the areas we cover in our book. Technology and relationships are prime. For example, new relationships need to be formed to support our renewed purpose and our inspired interests. We need to understand new technologies to communicate and to stay connected. When should we begin considering what our ACT III will look like? What three things should be considered 10 years before retirement? Five years before retirement? Twelve months before retirement? Aside from savings, which should be started early in life, somewhere in your late 40s you should be thinking of your definition of ACT III. The transition is an ongoing process. Your interests and dreams will evolve constantly. At age 40, you need to recognize that you are evolving to your next Act. Just as in ACT II you explored careers, in Act III you should be exploring interests and purpose. What would you like to do next in life? What would you like to accomplish? What would you regret not having done? What are some of the emotional ramifications we might expect with retirement? Frustration with ageism. Walk into a computer store and the sales staff will direct you to the “age-appropriate” product. You will get advertisements for hearing aids and senior diapers. Magazines will say they have an article about 55+ and when you read it the subject is about 90-year-olds. After all,
we are the same, aren’t we? Shop for clothes lately? Enough said. What do you suggest to those who retire and then have second thoughts. In fact, how do we avoid having those second thoughts? Wanting to regain the past can often prevent you from taking advantage of today’s opportunities. Life always offers opportunities. What is in your world today to say “yes” to? Follow your interests. Follow your dreams. You are co-authors. What was the best part of writing together? What was the most difficult? We were able to explore our own ACT III and explore changes in our own lives we needed to make. The most difficult part was that in the beginning we did not think we had time to add one more thing to our todo list, but as we started, time expanded to match our dreams. We marvel at the mysteries of the universe and our lives. Why did you write “ACT III”? And who do you see as its readers? We wrote “Act III” as a guidebook, a playbook. We interviewed hundreds of successful retirees to develop our playbook to carefully guide our readers in the development of their ACT III. Who we see as its readers? Anybody facing transition. The older you are, the better it works. ACT III — how do you define it? ACT III is the time of your life where you are done with the “have-tos” and the “need tos.” Everything you have done has led you to this point. Now is the time to bring forward the best of your experiences and develop your next act in your life’s story, the most important act. What are the three most important pieces of advice you have for those planning their ACT III? See it as a time of evolution, not as a time of decline. Do not pull away; engage in the fullness of life. This is your story, don’t let society write it for you. Be your own playwright.

Education Matters/Opinion: There’s an education side to Comic-Con BY MARSHA SUTTON Behind the glitz, glamour and garishness of San Diego Comic-Con’s Marsha Sutton entertainment spectacular is a lesser-known side that explores serious education issues for preschoolers through the teen years. In panel after panel, experts discussed how teachers can use comic books and graphic novels to improve reading skills and keep kids interested in reading for pleasure. Panelists said comics are successfully used to teach science and math, bring history to life, and generally engage students in their learning. Although hardly comic books, the “Harry Potter” series of books, by J.K. Rowling, motivated millions of elementary age children to read voraciously, some would say even obsessively. Even video games are now being used in the classroom to teach lessons and provide life skills that otherwise, taught in the traditional manner, can put many kids to sleep.
Other Comic-Con panels provided tutorials on story writing, character development, art and graphic design. Ancillary issues like bullying, stereotyping, accepting diversity, embracing differences, depression, suicide and teenage angst were also addressed in many sessions, by experts who offered coping skills and advice for maintaining a positive selfimage in the face of adversity on the playground and in the classroom. Happily, many of these panels were well-attended. Yes, Seth MacFarlane’s “Family Guy” panel certainly attracted many (like, thousands) more people, and it was great raunchy fun. But life lessons for kids? No. In fact, seeing the under-10 crowd in the “Family Guy” panel watch inappropriate clips and hear scenes read by the actors that were hilarious but not exactly Grated, diminished the frivolity. For better kid-appropriate options, panels like “Raising Future Fans: Geeky Parents and Children Speak Out” discussed ways parents can integrate geekiness into family fun and help chil-
dren be proud of their unique interests. One of my favorite panels, “The Geek Shall Inherit: A Look at the Evolution of Geek Culture,” presented eight experts, four of whom were psychologists and all self-proclaimed geeks. Panelists discussed the effect the Internet has had on society — specifically, technology’s role in facilitating positive connections and, conversely, in permitting cyber-attackers to lash out viciously, secure in their anonymity. “Technology changed the way we connect with other people,” said clinical psychologist Ali Mattu, who claimed the lack of eye contact is responsible for much of the name-calling and threats online. Psychologist Janina Scarlet agreed and said bullying often stems from not seeing others as individuals. “Make eye contact,” said Scarlet, whose website is Superhero-Therapy.com. That reminds you “that the other person is a human being and has maybe gone through a lot.” “It just takes one person to stand up against bullying” to turn a crowd around, said “Star Trek” fan See EDUCATION, page 20
Faulconer reflects on accomplishments in community at year’s halfway point Every New Year, many of us make routine resolutions hoping for unconventional change. But by the summer, we’ve often forgotten those old pledges. At my State of the City address in January, I renewed my commitment to put neighborhoods first and spread opportunities to every community. Halfway through the year, I have not forgotten these resolutions. Over the past several months, I’ve worked hard to create my new One San Diego budget — a balanced city budget that funds neighborhood improvements, paves hundreds of miles of roads and improves parks throughout San Diego. It’s also the first budget in years that our City Council passed by a unanimous vote across party lines. As a result, this July the City of San Diego started repairing more streets, installing new streetlights and expanding recreation center and library hours. When I ran for mayor, I promised to dedicate half of all major revenue growth to improving our neighborhoods and aging infrastructure. My One San Diego budget fulfills that commitment and more. It doubles the amount of street repairs compared to the year I first took office. In fact, we are fixing more than 300 miles of roads in one year alone. It’s the first step in my plan to repair 1,000 miles of streets over the next five years. We know that communities can only take full advantage of economic and educational opportunities when they feel safe and secure. So in January, I pledged to reduce the inequality in emergency response times in our city. My One San Diego budget adds an additional fire-rescue fast response squad to improve emergency response times in neighborhoods that need it most. It also funds four police academies and begins a new police contract to recruit and retain officers. Every San Diegan deserves the opportunity to thrive, particularly our children. It’s why expanding neighborhoods services that benefit youth are a key component to this financial plan. The budget improves parks and playgrounds in every city council district, increases operating hours by 33 percent in 36 recreation centers, and triples internet speeds at all branch libraries. From festive barbecues at our neighborhood parks to Comic-Con’s spectacular showcase in the Gaslamp, summer is an exciting time for families and children in San Diego. It also serves as a time for reflection and marks an important halfway point in the year. As your mayor, I’m excited to share with you what we’ve accomplished so far to improve infrastructure, public safety and neighborhood services. This is how we create opportunities for every San Diegan — and make sure that promises made are promises kept. Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer City of San Diego
Letters to the editor/ Opinion SB Library expansion should include more parking The July 23 issue of the Solana Beach Sun carried a letter by Dave Roberts on the improvements planned for the Solana Beach “shared-use” library at Earl Warren Middle School. The expansion of the facility sounds great, but one issue that Mr. Roberts did not address is the current parking problem. The parking just in front of the library is limited, and the extended parking below the library is shared by library patrons and school staff. More than once I have come to the library during the school year and found all parking spots in both lots taken. Since there is literally no place to park, I’ve had to go to the Encinitas library instead. This new expansion desperately needs to include more parking that can accommodate both school staff and library patrons. Rachel Baltz Solana Beach
‘Water shortage’ being caused by the state Ms. (Megan) Gray (Letters, July 23) protests the available beach showers in light of a “disastrous water shortage.” In reality, no water shortage exists, and none of us should be on water allocation or restrictions concerning water use at all. The “shortage,” as the San Diego County Water Authority’s Maureen Stapleton has said repeatedly, is caused solely by the state government imposing financial costs on the retail districts, should they sell more water to willing customers than the state arbitrarily thinks proper. So if you want a return to freely choosing how you use the water you pay for, and will pay for, even as it evaporates from the newly enlarged reservoir, please contact your political representatives and the water districts demanding they push back on the false emergency declaration made by the state.

In the second game, the bats and arms came alive as Team Mizuno beat the Giants 9-0, with a 2-hit shutout pitching effort by Joe Innis. Mizuno faced the Giants again in the elimination round, advancing into the semifinals with a 14-6 win, behind strong pitching from Jake Pearlman, Jack Foate, and Liam Baily, with 11 different players hitting the bases. In the semifinals game, Team Mizuno sought redemption as they squared off with SoCal Nationals again. Ben Berry pitched a 4-hit, 2-run complete game, which was backed up with seven Mizuno players getting on base, led by Charlie Miller’s 3-hits, putting Mizuno into the championship game with a 3-2 win. Team Mizuno came out slinging and swinging in the championship game against The Truth, with nine different players finding the bases, and Ryan Sanborn throwing a 3-hit, complete game shut-out, to cap off the 10-0 championship victory. All of Team Mizuno’s players contributed to the success of the weekend.

EDUCATION

Mattu, who writes about the psychology of science fiction at brainknowsbetter.com. To children and parents of bullied kids, he said, “Remember that you have allies everywhere. People will help you through those horrible moments.” Proof is the outpouring of geek love at Comic-Con, which shows our most vulnerable young children and teens that they do not stand alone. Death threats Bullying is not just for kids. Panelist and writer Jenna Busch said she regularly received rape and death threats, “because I write a lot about gaming.” Women in the gaming industry struggled mightily in the early years with venomous, often sadistic, misogynistic online attacks that brutally harassed and terrified victims. It doesn’t help that the portrayal of women in comic books and video games is less than realistic. With body images that make even Barbie look fat, the female figures on comic book covers and video game screens often denigrate women, turning them into sex objects to appeal to male fantasies. “There’s a difference between sexy and sexualized,” Busch said, criticizing the sexual objectification of women. When the media show more than one body type, “it makes a huge difference for girls.” Busch said the climate is slowly changing, as she now hears regularly from parents who say they want their sons to see strong women in comics and games. Busch is the founder and editor-in-chief of LegionofLeia.com, whose mission is to raise awareness that “women love sci-fi, fantasy and genre entertainment … and our contributions to it are out of this world.” Comic books are slowly changing the way they portray not only women, panelists said. It’s a diverse world out there, and many children and teens with differences who feel marginalized, bullied or harassed are finding refuge in comic books and some media. African-Americans, Latinos, LGBT, the disabled, those with learning challenges, the nonjocks — these are among the demographic groups being represented in the media in increasing numbers, in more positive ways. Children feel empowered when they can identify with strong characters in books and film who look like them and have similar interests and traits. And when the larger community is exposed repeatedly to images and representations of characters who become positive symbols for diversity, then tolerance is strengthened, harassment reduced, understanding of the harm bullying can cause grows, and awareness of and appreciation for individual differences rises. Extreme fantasy For those who take cosplay and fantasy to the extreme (cosplay, for those who don’t know, like I didn’t until Comic-Con, is the art or practice of wearing costumes to portray characters from fiction), there are signs to watch out for. It’s good to have a passion, but anything can become an obsession, said Busch. The key, said Scarlet, is moderation — and connectedness. As long as kids and adults are connecting to other people, real people and not just online, then it’s OK, she said. But it’s not healthy if the fantasy becomes an escape from reality and from other people (think Sandy Hook Elementary or the Colorado movie theater shootings). Parents need to engage with their kids to discern if the passion is an escape from human interaction or a pathway to connect with others who have similar interests. If they are used to connect, Scarlet is a big fan of cosplay and games, saying they are good for kids. She said levels of the hormone oxytocin rise when people interact pleasurably with
others through game-playing. “There’s science behind it,” she said. “When you’re playing with somebody, you’re actually extending your life. So doctor’s orders: Go play.” Validating the many Comic-Con panelists and experts who claim comic books and graphic novels are useful to engage reluctant readers at a young age and sustain an interest in reading as they grow older, a teacher in a Q&A session said just that. The teacher spoke passionately about how she successfully uses comics in the classroom to teach civil rights and other history lessons, citing the many benefits of comics and graphic novels as learning tools. Adults, too, can learn from science fiction. I’ve learned about 18th-century England, Scotland and Europe, and the early days before the American revolution, from the fabulous “Outlander” books by Diana Gabaldon (which have been made into a cinematically gorgeous television series on STARZ). For its time-travel component, “Outlander” is science fiction, but the books are also classified as romance, adventure and historical fiction. Fans love the books for the historical accuracy Gabaldon brings to the stories — with spoton descriptions of the clothing, food, architecture, geography, politics, language and customs of the times. That, coupled with some of the most exciting characters in modern fiction, is why “Outlander” has such a devoted following. Young adult fiction In the session titled “What’s Hot in Young Adult Fiction,” eight panelists discussed what influenced their writing. For many, it was being bullied in their teens. The result of these negative experiences in high school led to the creation of strong characters in their books who stand up to harassment. The discussion about writing styles led to a conversation about being either a “plotter” or a “pantser.” Plotters outline their stories meticulously from start to finish, and pantsers write by the seat of their pants, not knowing where the story will take them. Most panelists admitted to being pantsers, saying too much plotting can limit the freedom to write plot twists as they come to mind. One dedicated pantser said she felt constrained by her teachers and professors, who insisted upon specific approaches to writing. But a combination of the two styles, a hybrid approach, appealed to most panelists, who agreed that the process one uses as an author can vary from book to book, day to day even. They encouraged aspiring writers to be flexible and write in a variety of ways. Try to avoid writing what you think the audience wants, they said. Focusing too much on appealing to the marketplace can kill a book. But readers are very sophisticated and will suspend disbelief to a point (magic and time travel can work just fine). So within the universe that’s been created, the story has to hold together. Panelists offered one final bit of advice: Even if another author has your basic idea, write your story anyway. Just because someone else is doing it doesn’t mean you can’t do the same thing, because yours will be different — and hopefully better. Beyond Batman Comic-Con in its early days was a convention where one went to buy comic books. Today, it’s a gigantic multi-media experience and an international entertainment extravaganza. But beyond Batman, Spiderman, Superman, X-Men and Avengers, there’s a rich and varied educational universe at Comic-Con. And what’s happening in that alternate world is worth exploring — and just as worthy of excitement. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
RAISES school teacher category; many are 38-hour employees considered part-time workers without benefits who will be bumped up to 40 hours, according to Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services. Birks said the added hours will not only make them benefit-eligible, but will enhance the pre-K program and provide a little more time for teacher planning. The employees will receive payment in a range of $15.60 to $21.96 an hour. Fifteen employees are in the early-child-

hood instructional assistant category and will see their salaries increase, depending on the employee’s step, up to $19.41 an hour. At the July 22 meeting, the board also approved a new position in the human resources department: a human resources assistant for benefits. Romero said the new position is necessary to handle the increased responsibilities of the payroll and benefits department. The position is in the budget for the 201516 school year.
COMMITTEE

an additional 19 signatures in support of the letter were submitted two days later. Still, the issue was not on the July 20 agenda. “Your actions, to this point, have felt very dismissive of us,” said resident Terri Pavelko, who also applied to the committee but wasn’t appointed. “How do we get your ear? So far, all of our attempts have fallen on deaf ears.” Pavelko added that the group is “not going away.” “There is a huge contingency of this community that is passionate about actually helping make Del Mar the beautiful, unique village that everybody refers to,” she said. “We’re here to stay, we’re going to keep showing up and we’re going to keep asking for you to allow us to participate.” Resident Tina Thomas, who also applied but wasn’t appointed, said council members should have interviewed the applicants before they made their appointments. “I want you to hear my story,” Thomas said. “I wish you made an effort to actually learn more about me.” Thomas said she has been through the design review process and watches the design review board meetings. She would bring “an informed and very reasonable, logical voice to the process,” she added. “But I don’t feel like anyone even cared about that,” she said. The committee consists of five residents familiar with the city’s design review process and land use regulations; a former design review board member; a former planning commission member; a Del Mar property owner who recently processed a design review application, including a Citizens Participation Program; and a professional architect or land use planner who recently represented an applicant through the design review and CPP processes. The members are Nancy Doyle, Anne Farrell, Harold Feder, John Giebink, John Graybill, Richard Jamison, Kelly Kaplan, Dean Meredith and Art Olson. The committee met for the first time at 4 p.m. on July 8. After hearing from concerned citizens on July 6, the council suggested the committee change its format and time to be more inviting to the public. The second meeting on July 21 started at 6 p.m. and featured a workshop format. After listening to speakers again on July
BARGAINING
20, however, the council decided to place the issue on the agenda of its next meeting on Sept. 8. At that time, the council will consider whether to make any changes to the committee makeup or augment the committee membership. Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks apologized for the way the council handled the selection process. “I understand that you came to be interviewed and expected to be interviewed,” she said. “I’m sorry that we were unable to do that. We rushed to the decision.” Councilman Terry Sinnott said he was “disappointed” the issue was not on the agenda. He did note, however, that it was probably because of the council’s packed agenda — the July 20 meeting ran nearly eight hours. “It is apparent to me that we do need to slow down the process, regroup and come forward on another agenda item with a more robust plan that includes incorporating and bringing on board more people onto the advisory function, more interviews, more workshops, and really make sure that we try the best we can to be as inclusive as we can with all points of view on a subject matter that is incredibly important to our community,” Sinnott said. Councilman Dwight Worden also said he assumed the matter would have been on the agenda. “I’m very open to looking at things,” he said. “I’m ready to have a discussion about how we can do it better, if there’s a good way to do that.” In the meantime, Sinnott asked Councilmen Don Mosier and Dwight Worden, who serve as liaisons to the committee, to consider a revised process that would expand membership and possibly slow down the process so that more people could be included. Mayor Al Corti suggested suspending the committee meetings until the matter comes before the council again, but that decision wasn’t made. “Let’s not split the community up into two factions like it’s been in the history, in the past,” Sinnott said. “We’ve all seen that. It doesn’t help at all. We can, I think, have varying degrees of opinions on things and still solve the problem.”

According to Hergesheimer, the CSBA believes the school board should speak with one voice, giving direction to the bargaining representatives as a full board. “If a single board member participates in bargaining, that board member has greater opportunity to shape and influence the contract than his or her colleagues,” Hergesheimer said. “Other board members might perceive this as an unfair advantage.” Hergesheimer said that since most board members don’t have experience with labor negotiations, the board’s responsibility is to define its desired outcome, and how to achieve it becomes the responsibility of the staff. “Our five elementary districts are the same community and the same taxpayers, and they do not have board members sit in on negotiations or work with professional negotiators,” said Superintendent Rick Schmitt. Schmitt said many safeguards are built into the negotiating process before anything becomes official, such as county approval, and he has trust in the district’s employees. “The interest-based approach has been used for decades here and our employees really do put the interests of the district, student and taxpayers first,” Schmitt said. “That
shows mutual interest and not self-interest.” Schmitt said the district has agreed to zero raises seven times without any mediator or board member in the room, while during the same time period, districts around them agreed to raises of 6 percent to 18 percent for staff. SDUHSD staff has received salary increases periodically, with a regular step-andcolumn compensation schedule but no straight raises. Terri Norton, associate superintendent of human resources, said an outside negotiator also wouldn’t have the inside knowledge of the day-to-day issues within the district. Trustee Amy Herman agreed that it would be a “shame” to bring in outside people with no knowledge of the district’s history and to see the process possibly become confrontational. “To move away from (interest-based bargaining) would be such a disservice to taxpayers, students, teachers and classified staff,” said trustee Joyce Dalessandro. “I don’t feel that any argument could justify a departure from an interest-based bargaining approach.” Schmitt agreed that the current process and format has been working and he believes it will work well again this fall.

SB youth wins ‘Top Male Athlete’ honor at state junior lifeguards competition BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Solana Beach student recently ranked as one of the state’s top junior lifeguards. Carter Reeves, 15, was honored as “Top Male Athlete” of the Junior Lifeguards’ competition at the 2015 California State Games on July 16 at Coronado Central Beach. “I was really surprised,” Carter said. “I was not expecting that because there were a lot of good athletes there.” Carter joined the Solana Beach Junior Lifeguards when he was 9 years old. Open to children ages 7 to 16, the program promotes self-esteem and physical fitness. The program’s Sofia Rodgers was also named “Top Female Athlete.” A sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy, Carter also participated in “Nippers,” a junior lifeguard program in Australia, where his family resided from 2012 to 2014. “I think all the training really helped,” he said. With a love of the water, Carter is also a member of the Del Mar Water Polo Club. He hopes to one day serve as a Solana Beach lifeguard. “I love the beach. It’s really cool, and the water is really fun to go in,” Carter said. “As soon as I am of age, I would definitely like to try out as a lifeguard for Solana Beach.” The California State Games is a multi-sport festival of Olympic-style competition for the state’s amateur athletes of all ages and abilities. The competition was open to any Junior Lifeguard Program associated with the California Surf Lifesaving Association. Junior Lifeguard events included distance run, distance swim, run-swim-run, run relay, swim relay, paddle relay, rescue relay and beach flags.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the 2015 Special Olympics World Games is set in Los Angeles, San Diego welcomed athletes from around the world in the days leading up to the weeklong sporting event. As part of the San Diego North County Host Town, the cities of Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas hosted Special Olympics athletes from Ghana, Swaziland and Thailand from July 22-24. “The Special Olympics is all about inclusion,” said San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts, whose office coordinated the Host Town committee. “I’m so happy that the county, local cities and other groups are providing a VIP welcome and hospitality to these extraordinary visitors.” The coastal cities kicked off the three-day Host Town experience July 22 at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. Athletes and coaches were treated to lunch and a live performance from “Banding Together,” a San Diego nonprofit that offers music therapy to youth with special needs. “I’m so proud of each and every one of you for being here and for being participants in this very special event,” Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner said at the gathering. “You’re a part of something huge. Congratulations to each and every one of you. You are all winners.” Before heading to Los Angeles on July 24, the delegations were housed at Cal State San Marcos during their visit to the San Diego area. They enjoyed a trip to the Del Mar Racetrack, dinner at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar, a day in the park in Encinitas and a special on-field parade at Petco Park in San Diego.

From top to bottom, Carmel Valley bikini designer enjoys fashion business
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING From polka dots to paisley, young Carmel Valley designer Julie Freed is hoping to make her imprint on the bikini business. Freed, 22, is running a growing J.KINIS Swimwear shop on Etsy while she wraps up a degree in fashion design at Palomar College. For the past year, her fun and funky two-piece suits have made their way down runways and been spotted on San Diego beaches. Freed graduated from Canyon Crest Academy in 2011, previously attending Carmel Valley Middle School and Ashley Falls Elementary School. She knew she wanted to do something artistic as a career but wasn’t quite sure which direction to go, at first trying photography. “I had my first sewing class at Palomar College and absolutely fell in love with it,” Freed said. The first item of clothing she made was pajama pants. Initially, she thought she would like to design children’s clothes, but once she made her first bikini, that was it. “Palomar College really gave me a lot of confidence,” Freed said, noting the professors in the fashion design and merchandising program have been incredibly supportive and helped her find something she truly enjoys doing. Bikinis seem to be a natural fit for the sunny California blonde — she was always on the hunt for cute bikinis that weren’t outrageously priced. Last summer, she wore one of her custom suits out and received tons of compliments, as well as tons of requests from people who wanted a J.KINI of their own. That got Freed’s designer mind going. “I decided to try and put a few on Etsy, and I didn’t expect anything from it,” Freed said. Her first sale came from a customer in Florida. “It was very exciting! It felt like the best day.” The Etsy shop has been open since January, and she has sold hundreds of bikinis, with even some customers from Europe and Brazil. She takes care of every aspect of her growing business from start to finish — from sourcing the fabrics (she travels frequently to Los Angeles for this) to designing, cutting and sewing each bikini and packaging and shipping from her home. Her target market is ages 16 to 30, and she is happy to do custom orders — one custom order was a unique, navy off-the-shoulder-style bikini for a customer headed to Las Vegas. All of her suits are reversible, in beautiful and funky fabrics like shimmery gold or a fresh mint and pink chevron. Her most popular style is a high-neck bikini top. Of the prints, girls are digging the tie-dye and galaxy fabrics. She plays with all different kinds of strappy

Courtesy photos designs — crisscrossed, tied and some with time-consuming hand-braiding. Fashion has afforded her some great opportunities so far. Freed recently won first place in the fashion competition at the San Diego County Fair for a dress she designed and, at Palomar, she has twice been selected to show her looks in the annual MODA Fashion Show. Last year, she showed six pieces and this year she showed 10 in at the show held at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, with guest speaker designer Zandra Rhodes. Freed, who sees herself moving to LA after graduating next year, markets her suits by wearing them beachside and poolside. She also has a fun Instagram account where she shows off the suits and is developing a playful brand. “I want to work my way to becoming the biggest bathing suit shop on Etsy,” Freed said.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Attic Construction evicts rodents from your home and prevents their return BY MARTI GACIOCH There are few things worse for a homeowner than having visitors decide to stay — especially the four-legged kind like mice and rodents. To eliminate nesting and any future visits, Attic Construction co-owners Yahav Caine and Joseph Sheiner can help. Their construction team specializes in insulation services and rodent solutions that provide an inventive, nontoxic way to evict undesirable creatures from attics, end their staycation and block their return. When Caine and Sheiner enter a client’s attic, they look for any openings for mice or rodents. “These creatures can crawl inside a crack the size of a quarter,� Yahav Caine said. “They are very smart animals, so it’s important to close up an entire structure’s openings because if they’ve nested, they know a place has their babies in it, and they’ll return.� Attic Construction uses up-to-code professional grade sealant and Corning Otis metal screen mesh — the only material rodents can’t chew through — to treat all entry points. Every gap, crack and crevice is sealed while still allowing for maximum natural airflow. After installation, crew members will return to make sure all the creatures have expired (from starvation), and clear out dead animals and rodent droppings and debris. If necessary, they’ll also pull out all the insulation (including dust, if the roof was replaced) before hauling everything to a dump site. Their next step is to clean and sanitize the entire attic area using chlorine-based bleach that eliminates any foul-smelling contaminants homeowners may be breathing. “We don’t use anything toxic, so our clients can remain in the home while we’re working,� Caine said. Caine and Sheiner worked for six years in the Bay Area construction industry before opening San Diego Attic Construction in 2013. “Our key feature is that we don’t define ourselves as a pest control company, but we do offer solutions like closing up openings wherever pests can enter,� Caine said. “And while there’s no 100-percent guarantee with rodents, our methods provide a good probability that an infestation situation won’t happen again.� Caine and Sheiner said they take great pride in their quality of work and affordability, and strive to keep their customers satisfied. “There’s nothing better at the end of the day than to hear a client say, ‘Thank you guys for doing this; I didn’t want to crawl in there myself!’� Attic Construction is at 5519 Claremont Mesa Blvd. Unit 205, San Diego. Call 858-309-

‘Up Here’ plays mind games with cute, romantic tale at La Jolla Playhouse BY DIANA SAENGER “Up Here,” a new musical comedy with book, music and lyrics by husband and wife Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez is said to go where no musical has gone before. “Up Here” is on stage now through Sept. 6 at the La Jolla Playhouse on the UC San Diego campus. The Lopez team won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Original Song, “Let It Go,” from the Disney animated film, “Frozen.” Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”) is the youngest of just 12 people who’ve won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award — and the only person to win all four within a decade! He co-wrote two songs for the Disney Channel animated series “Phineas and Ferb.” His wife, Kristen, is co-creator of the Drama Desk Award-winning, Broadway musical “In Transit.” Matt Bittner (“Be A Good Little Widow,” “As You Like It,” “All Is Calm,” “Sweeney Todd,” Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park’s “Much Ado About Nothing”) plays the lead role as 30-something computer repairman Dan, who struggles with an attraction to perky T-shirt designer Lindsay (Betsy Wolfe). In seeing “Up Here,” Bittner believes, “audiences will understand that we’re all made of the same stuff. We’re all going through the same struggles to exist in the world, and getting to know other people is truly possible because we are so interconnected.” Bittner said he identifies with his role. “It’s kind of an uncanny connection between me and Dan. As I started reading the scenes in preparing for the audition, it felt really right for me. I was really happy when I didn’t have to audition and was suggested by my agent for the role. “Dan tends to have a bit more commentary on the world than he has with the actual world itself. It’s like his inner storm overpowers his ability to get the things he’s hoping for out of life. I can identify with that in feelings about my chances of happiness. “That seems to be his struggle throughout the show. He’s trying to really live in the world with other people, and not just the world that exists in his own mind.” “Up Here” is directed by Tony Award-nominee Alex Timbers (Broadway’s “Rocky,” OffBroadway’s “Here Lies Love,” Playhouse’s “Peter and the Starcatcher.”) Bittner said he’s fond of and familiar with Timber’s work. “His ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ was one of my favorite shows in New York,” Bittner
Betsy Wolfe (Lindsay) and Matt Bittner (Dan), share an interesting relationship in ‘Up Here,’ directed by Alex Timbers at La Jolla Playhouse. Courtesy photo said. “I saw the final performance at the New York Theatre workshop before it went to Broadway. I loved the show. It was so special how clean, creative and simple an ensemble work it was. I also laughed a lot.” In “Up Here,” Bittner said one of his favorite scenes is well-constructed and described as a love triangle between a guy and a girl and the guy’s consciousness. “Becky beautifully sings this amazing song that gives you just enough of what’s going on that you almost wish the song would continue longer,” he said. “Up Here” runs through Sept. 6 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at the La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus. Tickets from $25 at 858-550-1010 or lajollaplayhouse.org.

Synergy Animal Rescue, Lionel’s Legacy, and Kira announced their first collaborative effort to raise awareness about the role they play in rescuing our community’s most vulnerable animals. From noon to 3 p.m. Aug. 9, these groups will hold their first Surf ‘N Paws event at Tsavo’s Canine Rehabilitation Center (2120 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Ste. 120, Del Mar, CA 92014). They hope to draw attention to the world of rescue beyond local shelters. Carla Naden, director of synergy, said, “When we work together as rescues, our collective voice becomes so much stronger for the animals. A collaboration of love always wins. The animals need us to win, and together we create the change needed to ensure every animal, no matter how sick or how old, is given respect, love, and dignity.” Synergy, Lionel’s Legacy, and Kira hope this event accomplishes two things: • Educate the public about the importance of independent nonprofit animal rescues. Many people believe all animals in need are rescued by the local shelters, when
in reality, outside rescues work every day to rescue sick, injured, and geriatric animals from overburdened shelters. • Encourage the public to get involved. The only way these rescues are successful is with the public’s support. Their call to action is for local citizens to foster, adopt, volunteer, or donate. Thousands of desperately sick and injured animals have been tossed aside by society, and often, people who want to help simply don’t know how. This event will show the community how to get involved. This promises to be a fun-filled event, complete with delicious vegan vittles, beer, surfing pups, a silent auction, art, vendors, and even an underwater doggie photographer! Well-behaved dogs and humans are welcome to attend. Tickets (which include food, two drinks and a raffle ticket) are $15 and can be purchased at https://www.eventbrite. com/e/1st-annual-surf-n-paws-fundraisertickets-16999336473. Tickets can also be purchased at the event for $20. Visit www. animalsynergy.org.

SummerFest 2015: Artists, audiences to again share chamber music, memories BY DAVID L. CODDON Besides stellar musicianship, what do the artists of La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest 2015, both returning favorites and notable newcomers, have in common? “All of them,” said Christopher Beach, LJMS president and artistic director, “have that same ability to move an audience.” SummerFest, now in its 29th year, is, of course, a festival of chamber music, which Beach calls “the most fulfilling, gratifying, enriched form of classic music because it’s small enough that you can see the notes, but it’s complex enough to inspire and engage you.” And in the intimate SummerFest concert settings, “You see them (musicians) breathe. You’re up close and personal,” Beach said. SummerFest 2015 begins Aug. 5 and runs through Aug. 28, with most performances at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Sherwood Auditorium. This year’s lineup, assembled by SummerFest Music Director Cho-Liang Lin, is star-studded as always, with scheduled performances by artists including violinists Augustin Hadelich and Kyoko Takezawa, percussionist Steven Schick and the San Diego-based ensemble red fish blue fish, two resident string quartets (the Escher and the Borromeo) and three programs of works by the festival’s featured composer, Dmitri Shostakovich, which star, among others, pianist Vladimir Feltsman and violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky. “We kept saying that we should do Shostakovich,” Beach said, recalling longtime festival programming discussions. “We needed an expert, and we got two.” Feltsman and Sitkovetsky, he said, “are men who have breathed this music since they started playing as children in Russia.” The Shostakovich programs will be Aug. 21-23 in Sherwood Auditorium and will feature three of the composer’s string quartets as well as trios, octets, sonatas and more. A lecture, “Dmitri Shostakovich: Some Post-Centennial Reflections,” by scholar-in-residence Richard Taruskin, will precede the three concerts, on Aug. 20 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. Beach is excited about this year’s SummerFest from the get-go, however, calling the Aug. 7 “Souvenir de Florence” a “fabulous, big, rich opening night.” That program of works by Janacek, Mozart and Tchaikovsky brings back Italian-born German violinist Hadelich, who first performed in La Jolla as part of LJMS’s Winter Discovery Series and has appeared at SummerFest multiple times since. You can see and hear Hadelich in the evening’s performance of Mozart’s “Piano Quartet in E-Flat Major,” K. 493. Among other highlights of the SummerFest schedule: • The festival’s “Baroque Virtuosi” program on Aug. 11, with works by Telemann, J.S. Bach, Vivaldi, Tartini and Geminiani, boasts British Columbia-born violinist Aisslinn Nosky, who performed at SummerFest last year and who, Beach says, “electrifies the stage.” •S teven Schick, who heads the Aug. 12 program, is also “an exhilarating performer,” said Beach. He promises that “An Evening with Steven Schick,” which will also feature red
Christopher Beach and Cho-Liang Lin are among the Summerfest performers. Courtesy photo

fish blue fish, violinist Michelle Kim and cellist Ralph Kirshbaum, will be a provocative musical experience. • So, too, should be the SummerFest debut of Time For Three on Aug. 19. These three graduates of Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music (violinists Zachary De Pue and Nicolas Kendall, and double bassist Ranaan Meyer) offer a repertoire that morphs from classical to jazz to bluegrass — even hip-hop. • The festival concludes on Aug. 28 with “Strings, Glorious Strings!” — what Beach calls an “all-star” SummerFest Chamber Orchestra performing pieces by Mozart, J.S. Bach, Grieg and Tchaikovsky. For many SummerFest attendees, seeing these performers on stage will be far from their first encounters with them. Many participating artists spend a week or longer in residence during the festival. “These guys are here, living in the (La Jolla) Village, living in people’s homes, shopping at Vons,” said Beach. “Every time someone walks on stage, there are at least 100 people in the audience who’ve met them. They have a bond with them.” To view the complete SummerFest 2014 lineup and accompanying programming, go to ljms.org.

Adaptive sports camp offered Aug. 11-15 One of the country’s most recognized sports camps for children with permanent physical disabilities is back this summer. The Adaptive Sports and Recreation Association will host the 29th Annual Junior Adaptive Sports Camp presented by the Anthem Blue Cross Foundation on Aug. 11-15. Athletes will participate in water sports at North Crown Point Shores on Aug. 11-12, while land sports will be hosted by Southwestern College in Chula Vista on Aug. 13-15. Athletes come from as far away as New York and Arizona to participate, as well as from local schools such as Torrey Pines High School and Carmel Valley The five-day camp involves nearly 60 children, ages 4 to Middle School. 18, with various physical disabilities including spinal This five-day summer cord injuries, amputations, spina bifida, cerebral palsy camp involves nearly 60 chiland muscular dystrophy. Courtesy photo dren, ages 4 to 18, with various physical disabilities including spinal cord injuries, amputations, spina bifida, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. Campers work with volunteers and sports counselors who share a passion for adaptive sports, as they learn the fundamentals of sports such as wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, archery, swimming, hand cycling, water tubing, water skiing, wheelchair soccer, rugby and much more. They develop important skills to help them stay active and healthy, and develop positive self-esteem, leadership skills and independence. “Our summer camp helps these kids establish a desire to be involved in lifelong, fun sports activities,” said Nancy Rosenberger, president of the ASRA Board. On Aug. 15, the camp’s last day, the organization has a free Family Day and Resource Fair that is open to the public. Face painting, food sampling, and vendors providing resources for families with a child or adult with physical disabilities will participate. “We encourage the community to be a part of this event and learn about who we are and what we do. Once you do, you will be hooked,” Rosenberger said. The Adaptive Sports and Recreational Association provides year-round sports and recreational opportunities to physically disabled youth and adults throughout San Diego County. They offer competitive and recreational sports leagues such as wheelchair tennis, sitting volleyball and sled hockey. They also offer clinics and camps and are serving a growing military population. “ASRA is not simply about sports,” said Teresa Miller, in charge of camp and business development. “It is about changing the hearts and minds of people with physical disabilities and empowering them to live their lives to the fullest. We believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to play.” The Anthem Blue Cross Foundation’s support has been an integral part of creating these opportunities. This year’s supporting camp sponsors include The San Diego Chargers, Hall Wealth Advisors and the Torrey Pines Kiwanis Club. To be a camper, play as an athlete in a year-round league, join our volunteer team, or sponsor a program, contact Teresa Miller at 858-518-4202 or tmiller@asrasd.org or Marti Hess, executive director, at mhess@asrasd.org.

New Flexible Payment Options For Going Solar As a resident of Carmel Valley, I find the best part of living here to be the abundance of sunshine and good weather. I continue to live here and raise my family here because the people of our community are optimistic, always looking for ways to make a better place for our kids and future generations. We all agree that helping the environment is a good thing, and I talk to people all the time who would love to do more, including
adding homes, b but are ddi solar l panels l to their h i h daunted by the cost of such a drastic shift to their lifestyle. Fortunately, it is becoming easier and more instantly economical to use alternative energy in our homes. The key is to find the perfect plan for you. Today there are more financing options than ever for going solar. Companies such as STI Solar offer their own packages. There are two new types of “Solar as a Service” agreements that offer a nomoney-down acquisition of the system combined with comprehensive insurance, maintenance, monitoring and repairs for the life of the system, so the homeowner does not have to worry about it. Both allow you to transfer your agreement to the new owners or buy out the system ahead of time if you sell your home, and both provide thousands in savings over the term of the

agreement. The Solar Lease is ideal for those managing a tighter budget. Simply pay the same amount every month in a given year and receive all the benefits of low-cost, clean energy. The Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, allows you to pay a flat kWh rate for the amount of energy your system produces. The amount you pay will vary monthto-month depending on the system’s production. There are also great loan programs available for homeowners who want to own their system and take the generous Federal Tax Credit. STI Solar offers a low APR loan that gives you the benefit of ownership without the upfront purchase cost and maintenance expenses at a lower rate than your current utility. And in San Diego
and cities there is the d surrounding d h h HERO O program, a low-interest, long-term, taxdeductible financing option that is repaid through your property taxes. Sure, going solar can be a big change. That’s why it is so important for the leaders in our field to make it as easy and as affordable (not to mention beneficial) as possible to make the change. We’ve made a commitment to you—our neighbors—by helping to protect our valuable resources though offering ways to make it easier for everyone to contribute to a bright future, saving on energy resources while also saving money to invest in our own future. For any questions on solar energy or STI Solar’s finance options, please contact us at 858-450-9700. Or visit our website at http://www.stisolarenergy.com/solar92130.html

NC Rep presents one-man show ‘The Male Intellect’ Aug. 11 only “Hilarious” is the only way to describe “The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?” as Robert Dubac, ransacks his brain to answer the age-old question, “What do women want?” This Off-Broadway hit one-man show pinpoints the differences between the sexes and then celebrates them with 90 minutes of nonstop laughter. “The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?” will play for one night only at North Coast Repertory Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 11. Tickets are $25, available now. Call 858-481-1055 or visit www. northcoastrep.org. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Ste D, Solana Beach, CA 92075. When the show opens, we meet “Bobby” in a very confused state, having been dumped by the girl of his dreams. Unable to understand why, he channels some not-so-wise but hilarious advice from his five chauvinistic mentors. With a shrug of his shoulders or a crook of his neck, Robert Dubac seamlessly transforms himself into these five alter egos, each offering his own brand Robert Dubac performs in the oneof misguided advice. They are the honest Colo- man show, “The Male Intellect: An nel; the grand communicator Jean Michel; the Oxymoron?” on Aug. 11 at North passionate Fast Eddie; 123-year-old hard-to-get Coast Repertory Theatre. Courtesy Old Mr. Linger; and the ever-so-sensitive Ronnie photo Cabrezzi. Bobby sifts through their not-so-wise counsel; then, while sipping a beer, he finally taps into his feminine side to find some meaningful answers. The Los Angeles Times says, “The show elicits big laughs from both sexes in waves of treble and bass,” while The Philadelphia Inquirer states, “‘The Male Intellect’ is adeptly conceived, refreshingly and comically stated and Dubac has no trouble keeping it up for 90 minutes.”

Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas help welcome Special Olympics athletes continued from page B1 The Cities of Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas co-hosted a welcome luncheon from July 22 at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. Special Olympics athletes from Ghana, Swaziland and Thailand attended this kickoff event for their three-day Host Town experience, prior to their participation in the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles. Senior Pastor Mike McClanahan served as the MC of the event, and Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner and San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts were guest speakers. A live musical performance by “Band-
ing Together” highlighted the entertainment schedule. Other Host Town events for these three delegations included a Day at the Races, then dinner at the Powerhouse Community Center, hosted by the City of Del Mar on July 22. A Day at The Park was hosted by the City of Encinitas, then a special on-field parade at Petco Park prior to the Padres Game on July 23. Then a farewell and Good Luck party was held on July 24 as the delegations headed to Los Angeles to participate in the World Special Olympics Games. Most photos by Jon Clark.

Friend or foe from the sea — a fine kettle of fish BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Carefully chosen fish and seafood, especially wildcaught, deep sea, cold-water varieties, contain a rich store of lean protein, heart- and brain-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, along with boneboosting calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and body-balancing potassium. Now the bad news: Fish from other parts of the world (and even some domestic) contain a mother lode of contaminants that can cause serious short- and long-term health effects. So don’t fall hook, line and sinker for your favorite catches until you know all the facts. A Bridge over Troubled Waters According to the UC Berkeley Wellness newsletter, roughly 85 per cent of seafood consumed in this country is imported, most being farm-raised or produced by aquaculture. These practices are not subject to U.S. inspections, and many fish exported from developing countries are laced with microbes, heavy metals and formaldehyde, along with antibiotics, antifungals, growth hormones, and other chemicals and toxins. They would miserably fail even the most lax drug test. Of the most worrisome of imported seafood, shrimp and prawns head the list for high toxic chemical content, followed by crab, eel and tilapia. Investigators reeled in Vietnam, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan and India as top violators. Something’s Fishy Imported shrimp is not the only fish on the hook with a bad-for-your-health reputation. Swordfish and flounder are bottom feeders that ingest PCBs, heavy metals and other toxins collecting on the sea floor that derail the nervous system and infect the kidneys, and therefore should not be consumed by pregnant or breast-feeding women, children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. Tuna, shark and other big fish are also supercharged with mercury accumulated from smaller fish that they consume. The Shell Game Commercially farmed mussels from accredited sources that grow in the most pristine waters are safer than wild ones found in shallow coastal areas, which
are heavily contaminated with agricultural and industrial run-off. Before steaming mussels or clams, discard the dead heads, as one bad bivalve can spoil the bunch. Ferret out any that have opened, then give them a tap on a hard surface. If they fail to respond by not closing, that means they’re dead and should be tossed. Cook mussels and clams within a day of purchase. And when eating out, be judicious and eat seafood in moderate amounts.
The World Is Not Always Your Oyster The longstanding rule of thumb that oysters and other shellfish should only be consumed in months containing “Râ€? (September through April) is inaccurate. Shellfish from warm summer waters was thought taboo because of contamination by seasonal Red Tides — highly poisonous algae that can make us mortals pretty sick. Since the summers in the two hemispheres occur at opposite ends of the calendar, the old rules do not apply. Renowned chefs maintain that farmed shellfish have a lower risk from contamination than those harvested in the wild, and are regularly tested for toxin levels. Aww Shucks One last word of seafood warning. When shellfish has already been shucked (flesh removed from shell), and is in a plastic bag or container, it is meant to be cooked and should not be eaten raw. As a general rule which I follow, it would be advisable to eliminate all raw marine life from your diet because of the pollution of our waterways. So add them to a hearty bouillabaisse or chowder, rustic paella, frittata or pot of linguini, or steam, sautĂŠ or bake and dip in a zippy cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes (from domestic sources) are one of my favorite heart-healthy summer seafood treats, so divine you won’t have to fish for compliments.

P
ancho Dewhurst of GDC Construction, Inc., La Jolla, has initiated an advisory “Building 101� column for La Jolla Light, Rancho Santa Fe Review and Del Mar Times readers, which is available online and in print. The column will serve as an informational showcase for GDC Construction’s four generations of building experience. Dewhurst will share some of the knowledge he and his company have acquired over almost a century of building in Southern California. Through the years, GDC Construction has built some of the most distinguished homes in La Jolla and San Diego County, which have provided Dewhurst and his team with a treasure trove of knowledge about construction in often challenging circumstances. Dewhurst now contributes some of that knowledge to his readers sharing; stories about the art of building, the business aspects of construction, interviews with building professionals and local history, all in a series of columns scheduled throughout the year. Pancho Dewhurst took the reins at GDC
Construction after a long apprenticeship with his father, George Dewhurst. A lifetime in the local construction industry taught Pancho that “a general contractor’s primary role is to assemble and manage your team on behalf of each client and their needs. “Building the best team includes establishing purchasing power, making solid, long-term relationships with vendors and subcontractors, and establishing an experienced supervisory team. These are the primary tools of the general contractor,� Dewhurst said. In his new column, Dewhurst will enlighten and inspire readers interested in developing a building team and share his knowledge in the art of building.
