DM, SB cancel elections, opt to appoint council members

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar and Solana Beach voters might head to the polls in November, but it won’t be to cast a ballot for their local council members.

Rather than hold fall elections, both councils opted to appoint council candidates during two special council meetings on Aug. 20.

There were only two open seats on both councils,

BY KAREN BILLING A new committee on San Dieguito Union High School District’s school selection process will be formed this fall, in response to frustrations expressed by parents this summer when students didn’t get into their school of choice.

The district made the decision this year to admit all freshmen on the wait lists for Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy, and both schools are at capacity. But there is still much work to be done for future years, according to Michael Grove, associate superintendent.

“We want to begin work as early as we can in the fall and have a recommendation to the board by winter break,” he said.

Grove said they plan to start soliciting parent and student members soon for the committee to get to work on long-term issues.

He said the committee would look at demographics and enrollment projections and discuss options for high school enrollment such as the creation of boundaries.

Grove said the committee would then be tasked to See SELECTION, page 28

and only two people filed paperwork in both cities.

Under state law, it is permissible to cancel an election and appoint candidates when candidates run unopposed. The cities save money, but canceling the election eliminates the opportunity for write-in candidates to enter the race.

The Del Mar City Council, which met at 4 p.m., voted 3-2 to appoint Councilman Terry Sinnott to his

second term and former Del Mar City Attorney Dwight Worden to his first. Worden, who wasn’t present at the meeting, will fill Mayor Lee Haydu’s seat. Haydu decided not to seek a second term for personal reasons.

Two members of the public spoke in favor of saving money by making the appointments. Del Mar, the smallest city in San Diego County, could save as much as $9,000 by canceling the

election.

“The two people that are up are very well liked by everyone,” said Del Mar resident Sharon Feierabend.

“We like Terry and we’ve wanted Dwight to run for years. … I think it would be foolish to spend $9,000.”

Resident Wayne Dernetz, however, urged the council to hold the election.

“The expenditure of $8,000 or $9,000 to provide people with an opportunity

to exercise their absolute right to vote is a small enough investment in community support, building up the community and promoting civic engagement,” said Dernetz, who also sent city officials an email asking them to hold the election.

Sinnott and Deputy Mayor Al Corti voted against the appointments.

“I think the election is a See ELECTIONS, page 28

High school district board opposes proposed cap on school reserves

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board has come out against the cap on school district reserves proposed by new legislation in the state. On Aug. 21, the board approved the adoption of a resolution in opposition to the local reserves cap, part of the Proposition 98 Rainy Day Fund.

Proposition 2 will go out to voters on the November ballot. If it passes and the state’s Rainy Day Fund is established, as soon as even a dime is

dropped into the fund, school districts will be required to spend down the reserves.

Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said this could have a negative impact on the district.

“Boards are opposing the reserve cap up and down the state,” said Dill, who drafted the resolution approved by the board. “The education community doesn’t want to let it drop … we want school boards to have control of their own financial solvency

and management in good times and bad.”

In June, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB 858, the education budget trailer bill that requires districts to spend reserve balances down to no more than two to three times the minimum level of statutory reserve for economic uncertainties.

In SDUHSD’s case, its reserves could not be more than 6 percent of its total general fund expenditures.

Solana Beach water district to impose water-use restrictions starting Sept. 5

BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District — including residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and part of Fairbanks Ranch — will face mandatory restrictions on water use starting Sept. 5, in an effort to save water because of an ongoing statewide drought.

The restrictions include a three-day-per-week watering schedule for all homes and businesses, a prohibition on watering for more than 10 minutes unless certain water-saving devices are in place, and a ban on watering between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. each day.

In addition, washing down paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and tennis courts, will be prohibited, except for health and safety reasons. Water leaks must be repaired within 72 hours, and operating recreational equipment or fountains that don’t recirculate water is prohibited.

The restrictions, called a “Level 2 Water Shortage Response,” were approved by the irrigation district board on a 4-0 vote at its Thursday, Aug. 21, meeting. Director Andy Menshek, who will step down from the board when his term ends this fall, was not present.

“These measures are not Draconian,” said district general manager Michael Bardin, noting that provisions such as fixing leaks promptly are simply common sense.

Thursday’s board action follows on the heels of the district’s implementation of voluntary conservation measures in February.

The district was required to move to mandatory water-use restrictions by a state edict to conserve water in response to the drought, which is now in its third year. Officials said record-breaking heat in the first half of 2014 has exacerbated the state’s water woes.

Properties with addresses ending in odd numbers are allowed to water on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday; properties with addresses ending in even numbers can water on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Multifamily properties, condominiums and businesses can water on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

At Thursday’s meeting, Director Greg Gruzdowich asked Bardin why the district doesn’t allow property owners to determine for themselves which three days they will water.

“If everybody gets to pick their own three days, there’s no way for us to know if anybody is complying,” Bardin said.

The district will set up a hotline — 858-227-5801, Option 1 — that residents can call to report suspected water waste, and district staff will also be out in the field monitoring compliance with the regulations, said district officials.

For an initial violation, water district customers will receive a warning letter. They could face fines of escalating amounts for subsequent violations, and the penalty for a fourth violation is $500.

The district last imposed mandatory water-use restrictions in 2009 during a previous See WATER, page 28

New CV Middle School media center aims to create collaborative spaces

BY KAREN BILLING Over the summer, the San Dieguito Union High School District completed one of its Prop AA projects at Carmel Valley Middle School, giving the campus a new media center.

“Before, it was a traditional library, and there wasn’t a lot of space for children to work and collaborate … they were sitting between the stacks,” said Eric Dill, district associate superintendent of business services.

As they thinned out the book stacks and moved the circulation desk back, there was much more room to work with. The new furniture includes circular couches, tables and ottomans on wheels that can be configured in many different ways.

“The main idea is to build flexible and adaptable spaces,” said Carmel Valley Middle School Principal Cara Dolnik. “We’re really excited about it.”

One corner includes a bar that runs along the wall to serve as workstations, with high bar stools for students to perch on.

Two computer lounges remain in the center and there are two new projectors. Students can check out books and e-books at the new circulation desk.

The $457,932 upgrade was made possible by the November 2012 passage of Prop AA, the district’s $449 million bond.

Adam Camacho returns as Earl Warren Middle School principal TPHS parents hope to get terminated athletic trainer back

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A new principal greeted Earl Warren Middle School students when they went back to school Aug. 26.

Although Adam Camacho is a new face to his students, he is a familiar face to many of his staff. He previously worked as Earl Warren’s counselor for four years before becoming Carmel Valley Middle School’s assistant principal.

“I’m glad to be back home,” he said.

This is his 15th year in education and his fifth year in administration.

Camacho began his career with a degree in criminal justice administration, serving in law enforcement, and then earned his master’s degree in counseling. He worked for San Diego County’s Juvenile Probation Department for more than two years, or as he said, “long enough to figure it out.”

“The experience helped me realize I was just, to be frank, on the wrong side of the equation,” said Camacho, who also holds counseling and administrative services credentials. “I wanted to be on the preventative, proactive side, as opposed to the responsive side of working with juveniles.

Education was a natural transition for me.”

Camacho started with the San Dieguito Union High School District in 2000. He worked as a counselor at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad before coming to Earl Warren in 2006. While at the Solana Beach middle school, Camacho realized middle school was a perfect fit.

“This age group is so impressionable, vulnerable. It’s all about identity, wanting to please their peers,” Camacho said. “I want kids to come here and have a great two years.

Every year, we have 50 percent turnover. Our job, at the middle school age, is to prepare kids for the high school experience, both academically and socially. Our job is to create an environment where they can come and feel emotionally safe, secure, respected and valued, where they have every opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful curricular programs we have.”

Camacho also discovered his desire to become an administrator within the district.

“I wanted to nurture student achievement and focus on

Adam Camacho is ‘glad to be back home’ as principal at Earl Warren Middle School. Photo by Kristina Houck the overall organization, nurturing the professionalism and talents of our teachers as well,” said Camacho, who became the assistant principal of Carmel Valley Middle School in 2010.

He said he believes his counseling background and administrative experience have prepared him well to lead Earl Warren, a position he began on July 1.

“I enjoy serving our learning community — the kids, the families,” said Camacho, adding that his mother worked for Head Start when he was growing up in Oceano, a community near Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County. The program provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families.

“That commitment and passion for people — that servitude — that’s what I’m grounded in. That’s what I love See PRINCIPAL, page 28

BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School parents are rallying for the return of their athletic trainer Christina Scherr.

“We believe that the decision to let our athletic trainer go was unjust, unfair and biased and we believe the Torrey Pines community will continue to fight to rehire Christina,” said Carrie Pickwell, a member of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation Board of Directors, one of several parents who attended the Aug. 21 San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting to ask for Scherr’s reinstatement.

SDUHSD contracts out with Sorrento Valley’s Rehab United for its athletic trainer program and Scherr, a Rehab United employee, was fired by the company in mid-July for undisclosed reasons, according to SDUHSD Associate Superintendent Eric Dill.

“The goal was to continue services with that provider but that didn’t happen, not for a lack of trying,” said Dill.

Dill met with Falcon parents last week and he said the point was made “loud and clear” what the will of the parents is. Board members also reported being inundated with emails from parents last week asking for Scherr’s reinstatement.

“We all received many emails and are very well aware how valued she is at Torrey Pines High School,” said Joyce Dalessandro, school board president.

Dill was expected to meet with Rehab United this week regarding Scherr.

“Our job is to find solutions, do the hard work and make this happen,” Dill said.

Scherr has been with the school for eight years.

“She is highly trained and respected all over San Diego County. When she’s on the field, other trainers step aside and let her do her job,” said Pickwell. “She has a real passion for the students and puts their needs ahead of the game and the score.”

Parent Karla Milmoe echoed the fact that Scherr puts the kids’ safety first and foremost.

“The reason she’s so effective with kids is her interpersonal skills. She reaches out to the kids and makes connections…they trust her,” Milmoe said. “She has a rapport with students that you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else.”

Local volunteers bring the joy and importance of reading to children and teens through Words Alive programs

BY KATHY DAY Lula Sutherland and Nora Kaiser make no bones about the importance of reading in one’s life.

The two former teachers and their fellow Words Alive volunteers put their time behind their commitment to helping bridge the literacy gap. “I feel so strongly that literacy and culture oftentimes are a social phenomenon,� said Sutherland, an Encinitas resident who participates through the Family Literacy and Early Literacy programs. “If parents are not reading to their children, the children don’t know how important it is to read.�

Kaiser, who serves as a Teen Services Adolescent Book Group volunteer, reiterated the significance of their work. “Words Alive’s mission is to impact kids through reading,� the Rancho Santa Fe resident said. “It connects them to another part of their life.�

In addition to the programs the two local women support, Words Alive also oversees Rolling Readers and Community Reading Initiatives in its efforts to “develop a more thriving literary community,� according to its

Lula Sutherland

Sutherland, who taught second and third grade at Del Mar Pines School before retiring, has been working with Words Alive for about a year and recently was named Family Literacy Program Volunteer of the Year.

In the latter program, the volunteers teach parents the importance of reading for their children, sharing ways to help them develop reading skills and encouraging them to make reading a family adventure. During the seven-week classes, volunteers also work with the children and play with them while their parents are in class and provide books and takehome lessons for the family to do together. “The parents that come are committed to being the best parents they can be,� she said.

Sutherland also assists with the Early Literacy Program, reading once a month to children in low-income preschools and child-care centers. Various team members visit the centers twice a week and read to groups of 18 to 20 children in four classes. “It’s great fun,� she said, adding that she’s been very impressed with the quality of the teachers and centers where she

volunteers. “The kids are delightful. There’s no easier task than reading to children.�

Kaiser, who was introduced to the teen book group aspect of Words Alive by her friend Kay Gurtin, was a teacher, too. She stepped away from teaching to raise her children, but stayed connected by volunteering at her children’s schools. But now that her children are in college, she’s found a new arena and a totally different group of children to help. “It’s been an eyeopener,� she said of her experiences working with the students at Choice Summit, a City Heights program.

Choice Community School is a selfcontained classroom for

students in grades 7 to 12.

About 15 to 20 high school students, some as old as 20 who are still trying to earn their GED certificates, participate in the program that’s “kind of like a book club� where they talk about the meaning of the books and how the characters relate to their own lives, Kaiser explained.

A different volunteer leads the discussion each time, and on occasion a student has stepped into that role, she added.

The same team of eight volunteers works with the students.

The students can keep the books, and many have started building their own libraries at home, which Kaiser sees as a sign of the program’s impact.

They also have guest speakers visit — sometimes authors, sometimes people such as Steve Kerr, five-time NBA champion and now head coach of the Golden State Warriors, who came to talk about the obstacles of life and basketball after they read a book about the sport. They’ve also heard from a Holocaust survivor and a former gang member who is now an executive chef at a well-known Las Vegas hotel.

The program started when a Words Alive volunteer who was working in another program saw the need to encourage reading among the teens. “Some of the students are in gangs, but all of us treat them as if they were our own kids,� she said. In fact, the classroom teacher said there are four gangs in the area. But he told them, “they are united in one classroom and leave it on the streets.�

Kaiser, who has worked with Words Alive for eight years, said, “They find comfort and security there, and we have really good discussions.�

With alternative schools losing funding and communities looking for other avenues to provide education, this program “gives these kids one more chance,� she added.

Kaiser and Sutherland each talked about how rewarding their volunteer work is, yet both were clear in noting that the importance is not how they feel, but how important reading is in the lives of young people. “Simply reading and exposing the young to reading creates interest in pursuing it as they grow,� Sutherland said.

Volunteers are needed for the reading programs as well as assisting in the office or fundraising efforts. Volunteer or learn more at www.wordsalive.org.

Chocolate sweetens the plot for Carmel Valley writer’s new mysteries

BY SAMANTHA TATRO Author Kathleen Krevat wakes up every day before the crack of dawn at 5 a.m., sits down at her desk, and starts writing.

“I love how quiet it is, before the neighborhood is stirring,” Krevat said. “I love the promise of a new day.”

While everyone else is finishing up a night’s sleep, Krevat, a Carmel Valley resident, is already typing away on her computer. Krevat, whose upcoming book, “Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates,” hits bookstores Sept. 2, says waking up early developed naturally and then became a habit.

“My energy is best in the morning, as well as my ability to focus and get into a rhythm,” Krevat said. “Writing at the same time makes it easier to settle down and get into the book the next day without spending too much time figuring out where I was in the story.”

In “Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates,” chocolatier Michelle Serrano and bookstore owner Erica Russell work together to discover who murdered the town photographer. Krevat wrote the book under a pen name, Kathy Aarons, and is the first in the Chocolate Covered Mystery series by Berkley Prime Crime, an imprint of Penguin Random House. The book will be available Sept. 2.

Though she’s been writing on and off for 10 years, the hardest part for Krevat was writing the book in the time her contract gave her: one year.

“Writing every day makes it a lot easier to continue writing,” she said. “Right up at deadline, I was writing Kathleen Krevat for 12 to 15 hours a day.”

The best part, however, was doing all the delicious research. Krevat spent a lot of time with Isabella Knack, the owner of Dallmann Fine Chocolates, while researching. Knack gave Krevat chocolate classes and answered questions about what it was like being a chocolatier and running a chocolate shop. Annette Palmer, co-owner of the now-closed Earth Song Books and Gifts, answered questions about being a bookstore owner.

“Both of these owners feel like they are doing more than just selling,” Krevat said.

“They are selling little gifts of happiness, and that’s what I tried to portray in my book.”

The newly published author received her very first copies of the book last week. When she got home one afternoon, a medium-sized box was sitting on her doorstep.

“It was thrilling,” Krevat said. “My daughter was home, so I got to share it with somebody. We saw the box on the porch and I said, ‘I know what that is!’”

But Krevat did not grow up dreaming of becoming an author. She grew up in rural

Pennsylvania and read what books were around as a kid. It wasn’t until college that she considered it a potential career path.

“I liked writing, but at the time I didn’t think of it as a career,” Krevat said of her youth. “When I went to college, I had a lot of writing classes, so I knew I wanted to get into some writing.”

She went into marketing and public relations and worked in New York City after college. After several years, she moved to San Diego with her husband, where she had two daughters. Once they went to school, she immediately became involved in the arts, becoming a self-declared super-mom.

She was PTA president and the Reflections Arts chairwoman, school foundation fundraiser, student newsletter editor and more at Carmel Creek and Solana Pacific elementary schools. She handled publicity and created costumes for J*Company and the Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theater programs, in addition to assisting with the Canyon Crest Academy Writers Conference.

She recently joined the board of Playwrights Project, too.

Krevat started writing as a hobby when her daughter went off to preschool, but didn’t take it seriously for many years.

She spent a lot of that time working with the San Diego chapter of Romance Writers of America, who helped motivate her. She joined the chapter back when she first started writing. The first year she joined, the chapter offered workshops on all the writing basics: plot, dialogue, outlining.

“I was writing everything down because I hadn’t heard so much of it, and I was looking around and I was the only one writing

stuff down,” Krevat said. “I was like, ‘What?

This is good stuff, why aren’t they writing it down?’ but it’s because once you belong for a while, you’ve heard a lot of it before.”

When she started, she would attend conferences eagerly. “Anytime I went to workshops, I would most likely buy the book,” Krevat said. “I have every writing prep book.”

She would spend years mastering those skills before taking a year or so to casually submit proposals. If she didn’t hear back, she would start “diving back into her writing hole again.”

“When I took it seriously, it paid off,” she said of the story behind her first contract. Her agent on Twitter opened up submissions for just a weekend. Krevat jumped on the opportunity and submitted to her — and the agent gave her a call.

“I haven’t had free time since the contract,” Krevat said with a warm smile. “Writing used to be my hobby, but now it’s my job.”

Krevat may be exceptionally busy at the moment — she’s writing the third book, receiving edits for her second book, working on marketing for her first book and sending her daughter off to college, all at the same time — but she shows no signs of feeling overwhelmed.

“I’m still new to all of this. I’m not tired of it yet,” Krevat said with a laugh. “I’m excited for all of the next things.”

The Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego will host a free book launch party for Krevat at 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, where she will sign books, read an excerpt, and answer questions from the public.

Proposed mixed-use neighborhood village with something for everyone.

CV soccer standout Macario eyed by U.S. Women’s National Team

BY KAREN BILLING In her first two years playing soccer on American grass, local soccer standout Catarina Macario has been on a goal-scoring binge. Like a wide-open net, the future seems full of possibility for the 14-year-old San Diego Surf Soccer Club forward, who feels as though her soccer career has been given a new life since moving to Carmel Valley from Brazil.

Since playing for Surf, Catarina has twice been awarded the Golden Boot, the top scorer in the Elite Clubs National League and breaking every record in the league’s history in the process. In the 2012-13 season, she scored 50 goals and this season racked up 42.

As a freshman playing on the Torrey Pines varsity squad last year, she was the top scorer in the open CIF division league with 34 goals.

Catarina has caught the attention of the U.S. Women’s National Team, although there are some challenges to overcome as she is not yet an American citizen. Her goal is to play for her new country at the next Summer Olympics, which fittingly will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Scripps president, CEO makes list Bishop’s School hires new coaches of most influential in health care for boys basketball and baseball Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder has been named No. 65 on Modern Healthcare’s annual ranking of the nation’s 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare, which was published in the magazine’s Aug. 25 edition.

This is the sixth time that Van Gorder, a Carmel Valleyresident, has landed on the prestigious list. Van Gorder oversees almost 14,000 employees at five acute-care hospital campuses and 25 outpatient clinics. Since becoming president and CEO in 2000, he has been instrumental in positioning the organization among the nation’s leading health care institutions.

Joining Van Gorder on the list is Dr. Eric Topol, chief academic officer of Scripps, who is ranked at No. 94. A world-renowned cardiologist and scientist, Topol leads Scripps’ efforts to test and validate genetic and wireless health technologies that promise to improve patient outcomes, individualize treatments and potentially lower the cost of health care.

Distributed nationally, Modern Healthcare is one of the nation’s largest health care trade publications. Nominations for the recognition program were accepted from March 17 through April 18. Readers submitted more than 15,000 submissions. The final ballot of 300 candidates was based on those receiving the most nominations.

Readers then voted for their top five candidates from May 5 to June 13. More than 31,000 ballots were cast, representing 155,000 votes for individual candidates. Readers’ votes, combined with the opinion of the senior editors at Modern Healthcare, determined the final ranking.

In January, Van Gorder was honored by the American College of Healthcare Executives with the Gold Medal Award, the organization’s highest honor. Last year, he received the Innovation Award from Press Ganey, a national firm specializing in patient experience improvement.

Board-certified in health care management and an American College of Healthcare Executives Fellow, Van Gorder also served as 2010 chairman of the association, an international professional society of more than 40,000 health care executives who lead hospitals, health care systems and other health care organizations.

Chris Van Gorder In 2010, Van Gorder launched a new direction for Scripps. In anticipation of dramatic changes in health care, he “turned the organization on its side,” creating a horizontally matrixed management structure to identify and significantly reduce unnecessary variation in patient care and health care operations. The new “One Scripps” approach led to $141 million in performance improvements in 2011 and 2012, and more than $79 million in performance improvements in fiscal 2013.

Van Gorder’s forthcoming book, “The Front-Line Leader: Building a High-Performance Organization From the Ground Up,” to be published in November, chronicles Scripps’ turnaround and Van Gorder’s journey from police officer to CEO of a major health system.

The 2014-2015 school year will see two experienced coaches joining the roster at The Bishop’s School.

Nick Levine will join Bishop’s as the head coach of boys’ varsity basketball, taking over from Matt Niehues, who relocated to the Bay Area. A native of Philadelphia, Levine attended high school at Chestnut Hill Academy, where he became one of its all-time leading scorers in the sport, surpassing the 1,000-point career mark. He is a 2006 graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, where he competed for the “Battling Bishops” in the North Coast Athletic Conference.

Levine comes to Bishop’s from the Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. In 2014, he earned a master’s degree in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia Uni- Nick Levine, left, and Ron Witmeyer. versity in Irvine.

In baseball, Ron Witmeyer will replace Joey Centanni as the head varsity coach. Centanni has moved on to the University of Pacific.

Witmeyer, a Carmel Valley resident, attended Stanford University where he was a threeyear starter on the baseball team and a team leader on back-to-back NCAA National Championship teams (1987, 1988). After his junior year, he was drafted in the seventh round by the Oakland A’s and went on to play six years in their organization, highlighted by his time in the Major Leagues during the 1991 season. Upon completion of his professional career, he returned to Stanford to complete his undergraduate degree in sociology while also serving as an assistant coach for the school’s baseball team.

Witmeyer earned a master’s degree in health and physical education from St. Mary’s College while coaching and teaching at City College of San Francisco. He joined the Division I UC Berkeley baseball staff and served as assistant coach for six years. During his time coaching in the collegiate ranks, he helped to develop more than 70 future professional players, including 13 who went on to play in the Major Leagues.

“We were very lucky to find great coaches like Levine and Witmeyer, as their collective experience and know-how are a perfect fit for our school,” says Joel Allen, Bishop’s director of athletics. “We look forward to benefiting from their experience in developing successful and full basketball and baseball programs for the Knights.”

‘We are creating relationships,’ say new owners of weekly meetup at Del Rayo shopping center

BY KAREN BILLING On Sunday afternoons at Del Rayo Shopping Center, the parking lot comes alive with the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market.

“It’s a vibrant, living feeling … it transports you, it’s not just a parking lot, ” said Diane Haworth, who along with Michael Varbaek took over the market in January and infused it with their special energy and a focus on longevity.

Every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Del Rayo on San Dieguito Road, up sprouts the market, filled not just with aisles of vendors in tents, but fresh flowers spread throughout and bistro tables under umbrellas where the owners hope people will sit and stay a spell.

“Every Sunday, we’re trying to create a symphony — all the instruments have to be in tune,” Varbaek said. The market “soothes the soul, it’s nurturing. In today’s society, there’s a huge need for that, because it doesn’t exist. There’s a lot of go-go-go.”

He said the market is still an undiscovered gem in the community and he wants people to know what’s right under their noses, “a pleasant surprise waiting to happen.”

“We have so many people come up to us and tell us they really appreciate the effort that we’re making, that it’s something really special that we’re doing here and that we’ve taken it to a different level,” Haworth said.

Families trickle in and grab a bite to eat, enjoying the shade of a market umbrella and live music. People come fresh from morning workouts to pick up produce for the week, and kids take over the designated children’s craft areas.

There is a waiting list for vendors wanting to join the market, so the owners get to pick the cream of the crop.

Grassroots soccer program scores big with Mia Hamm visit Varab said.

Hamm said she loves the opportunity to get out and interact with the girls at the clinics.

Throughout the year, she runs Team First Soccer Academy camps with her former U.S. teammates Kristine Lilly and Tisha Venturini-Hoch.

“We get to share our knowledge and experience with young girls across the country,” Hamm said. “And it’s a great way for us to be together, too.”

Last week, Hamm met and shared sage soccer wisdom with the Surf girls, who continue to be inspired by Hamm, despite many of them being just babies when her team won the 1999 World Cup. At the clinic, she met with one top player who is looking to follow in her footsteps, Catarina Macario. Macario is this year’s Elite Clubs National League top scorer and a member of Surf GU16 team.

“You just have to take every opportunity given to you,” Hamm told a star-struck Macario. “Make the most out of every opportunity, whether it’s a championship game or a simple pick-up game. See everything as an opportunity to show you’re prepared. Be respectful of the environment and yourself and what you bring.”

National Guard enlists star player to publicize option for college funds

BY KAREN BILLING Mia Hamm, the inspirational World Cup champion and Olympic gold medal soccer player, visited Carmel Valley last week as the San Diego Surf Soccer Club hosted a clinic in partnership with The National Guard.

Surf players were excited just to share the same turf as Hamm at the San Diego Polo Club fields on Aug. 21, as Hamm is the third most capped female player in U.S. Soccer history. Until 2013, she held the record for the most international goals scored by any player in the world, male or female, with 158.

The National Guard, a major sponsor of U.S. youth soccer, has embarked on a Grassroots Soccer program to inform and educate high school-aged soccer players on how joining the Guard can help them reach their goals by helping pay for college education and develop real career skills.

The National Guard has collaborated with players like Hamm to host clinics at soccer clubs throughout the country, where young athletes go through an Army-style experience before getting training tips from the experts.

“There’s so many elite players in San Diego, and this is a great opportunity for them to learn from someone who played in the World Cup and in the Olympics, proudly representing the flag,” said Diane Scavuzzo of SoccerNation. com. “Surf is really excited about being able to sponsor the event.”

Hamm has been involved with the National Guard program since last summer when she traveled to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Baltimore. She started doing clinics with Elite Clubs National League, to which several Surf teams belong.

“I’m from a military family: My dad was in the Air Force, and that was my life growing up,” Hamm said. “The National Guard supporting youth soccer is extremely important … this is another option to pursue studies collegiately,

Top: Warmups at the National Guard clinic on Aug. 21. Right: Colin Chesters, San Diego Surf Soccer Club director of coaching, Mia Hamm and Catarina Macario. because not everyone is going to get a full-ride scholarship.”

SSG Dana Darvin-Varab, a recruiting and retention non-commission officer, said that’s exactly what happened for her.

She used the National Guard’s tuition assistance to help get her where she needed to go as she played soccer for a college in Arizona, but wasn’t a scholarship player. The National Guard helped give her an opportunity to go to school and find a career.

“Sometimes soccer is not going to be the only option, and the National Guard is a good back-up plan,” Darvin-

guys in the market,” said Positano’s Tim Cusac of the new owners.

For Varbaek and Haworth, a farmers market goes right along with their life philosophy of longevity; they previously owned markets at Viejas and in Alpine.

As athletes, researchers and motivational speakers, they have spent much of their lives in the pursuit of outstanding health and wellness and sharing that knowledge with others.

Haworth, whose athletic roots include figure skating, competes in adventure racing and cycling. Varbaek is a world-class cyclist who once competed for the Danish National Team.

Both are certified culi-

nary arts chefs and chef instructors specializing in raw food preparation, and together they have embarked on a four-year journey to learn everything they could on the topic of longevity, filming a documentary along the way.

The pair has traveled to “longevity villages” around the world where they studied and documented the lifestyle and habits of longliving people. They focused on visiting villages with the highest concentration of centenarians in more than 50 countries such as Japan, Italy, China and Greece.

“We have 200 new sets of grandparents, extended families throughout the world,” said Haworth.

In their travels, they studied what all these different cultures had in common when it came to living a

longer life.

“One strong theme we found was the sense of community and being part of something greater than themselves in the villages and town squares,” Haworth said. “We’re all spread out here (in America); our whole way of living is different.”

In those communities, people go out and experience a market or town square — it’s a thing to go do and be a part of, rather than just crossing off items on a shopping list.

That’s what the two really wanted to create in Rancho Santa Fe. Varbaek hopes people will come, talk to the vendors, sit down and listen to live music, not think about work and just enjoy the moment.

Haworth admits that it sounds corny, but they have

already seen a sense of family and community forming, a familiarity where vendors remember customers’ names and what they like. And the pair of them seem to know every visitor, greeting everyone warmly.

“That’s a big part of life, relationships, friendships.

We are creating relationships,” Haworth said.

“I get a lot of good out of this market,” said Varbaek. “I’m always smiling. If you feel good about something and you love what you do, you can’t help but smile.

“The biggest reward that we get from the market is not monetary. The biggest rewards are the compliments, the smiles and the knowledge that they will be back.”

On Sundays, the two can’t help but marvel as a

village is built in the parking lot. They watch as people enjoy the music and the variety of tastes and smells, stopping to smell the flowers and meet their neighbors.

“This right here, without them even knowing it, we’re helping people live a little longer,” Varbaek said.

The market’s website features a new recipe every week with ingredients that can be purchased by the market’s vendors, everything from kale peach smoothies to Okinawa cucumber salad. Check it out at ranchosantafefarmersmarket. com, or visit the market at 16079 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe.

Man robs Carmel Valley bank An unidentified man robbed the Wells Fargo Bank at 3445 Del Mar Heights Road on Thursday, Aug. 21, at about 2:31 p.m.

The suspect fled the bank westbound towards El Camino Real. The suspect was described as a Hispanic male, 25 to 35 years old, 5’6,” 180 lbs., who was wearing a blue bandana over his mouth and nose, black sunglasses, a blue sweatshirt and blue jeans. The San Diego Police Department Robbery Unit is investigating.

Shared Belief wins $1M Grade 1 TVG Pacific Classic

BY KELLEY CARLSON Shared Belief kept his perfect record intact by posting a 2 3/4-length victory in Del Mar’s signature race, the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic, on Sunday (pictured).

Ridden by Mike Smith, the 3-year-old gelding raced in midpack in the early part of the going, but rallied past Toast of New York and last year’s Pacific Classic winner, Game On Dude, as they entered the homestretch.

Shared Belief covered the 1 1/4 miles on the Polytrack in a swift 2:00.28; Toast of New York held on for second, while Imperative got up for third. Game On Dude faded to fourth.

Shared Belief, last year’s champion 2-year-old male, is trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, and owned by a partnership of sportscaster Jim Rome’s Jungle Racing LLC, Hollendorfer and George Todaro. “He’s a special horse,� Smith said. “I heard someone say this might be the coming out of a superstar. I think now this horse deserves that accolade. I’ll tell you what: he’s as good a young horse as I’ve sat on in a while.�

The victory garnered Shared Belief a spot in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 1 at Santa Anita, since the Pacific Classic is a “Win and You’re In� qualifier, and possibly sets the gelding up for a showdown with Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome to determine the top 3-year-old in the nation.

On the day’s undercard, Goldencents set a track record while streaking to a wire-to-wire win in the Grade II, $250,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes, and Tom’s Tribute showed his affinity for the Del Mar turf course by taking his second stakes of the meet, the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Mile.

Saturday’s feature was the Grade II $200,000 Del Mar Handicap, won by race favorite Big John B.

TVG Pacific Classic Draw

BY LESLIE CARTER On the Wednesday before the running of the TVG Pacific Classic at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club the horses in the race are assigned their positions in the starting gate.

Starting position is important to how well a horse may do in a race, so the draw is done randomly by pulling pills from a jar, and it is done in front of witnesses.

The Draw for the $1-Million TVG Pacific Classic was held on the evening of Aug. 20 at the Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa, a venue that is becoming traditional for this event.

Del Mar President and CEO Joe Harper set the stage and then handed the additional responsibilities off to track announcer Trevor Denman, and within a few minutes the connections of all 11 thoroughbred knew their post positions for Del Mar’s premier event scheduled for Aug. 24.

The remainder of the evening on the Rancho Valencia lawn featured wine and other beverages sipped in small groups of connections of the TVG Pacific Classic contenders.

And by the following Sunday afternoon the season’s most significant race in the west featuring older horses, is run on the Polytrack at 1 Ÿ miles.

And this year the race was won by unbeaten three-year-old Shared Belief, trained by Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Hollendorfer, and ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith (see page 13). The owners include radio/TV sports commentator Jim Rome of Jungle Racing, Hollendorfer, Jason Litt, Alex Solis II and George Todaro. Shared Belief earned $600,000 for his owners and automatic admission to the $5-million Breeders’ Cup Classic this fall at Santa Anita.

ArchaeoSpain, an educational and archaeological organization based in Connecticut and Madrid, reports that Torrey Gentillon, 17, of San Diego recently returned home after working on an archaeological dig at the Roman city of Pollentia, in the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, one of the most important cities in the days of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire.

Torrey, who attends Canyon Crest Academy, joined a team of archaeologists and fellow high school students from Spain, the United States, UK, and Oman for four weeks. The crew found several human burial sites before reaching the Roman layers of a marketplace. The group excavated until hitting Roman pavement, along the way uncovering several Roman coins. They also unearthed the remains of some Roman taverns and what is thought to be the Roman city’s oldest building.

Students at the Pollentia field school, one of the few such programs in the world for high school students, learned excavation and surveying techniques, plus how to treat and catalog artifacts. They also attended talks on Spanish history and archaeology, learned how to draw artifacts, and took excursions on weekends to nearby historical sites.

“Torrey and her co-workers have learned not only how to conduct an excavation and how to interpret the archaeological clues discovered, but they have experienced Spain away from the tourist traps and bonded with a local community,” said ArchaeoSpain director Mike Elkin. “Over the past few years, our joint Spanish-international teams have uncovered priceless information about Spain’s ancient past.”

Injury helps accomplished volleyballer focus on what else is important in life

BY GIDEON RUBIN The rigors of playing elite level volleyball year-round offers little in the way of downtime, let alone much time for self-reflection.

But Samantha Cash developed a different perspective during a six-month period during her sophomore year at Pepperdine, when the former Canyon Crest Academy volleyball standout was sidelined with an ankle injury.

“For so long I was ‘the girl who plays sports,’” said Cash, who started out playing competitive youth soccer before going on to volleyball stardom.

“My life always revolved around sports.”

Cash severely sprained an ankle at the end of her sophomore season that required surgery. She left the hospital in a wheelchair and spent many weeks afterward on crutches.

She has made a full recovery, continuing a stellar collegiate career that includes helping lead the Waves to a national sand volleyball championship in the sport’s first year as an officially sanctioned NCAA sport. But she said that during her recovery, she found herself asking herself questions she’d never before contemplated.

“The thing about the (injury) was that I couldn’t play volleyball, there was no physical way for me to play volleyball, and it made me start to re-evaluate my life as far as who I am without volleyball,” she said.

“It kind of made me just look around and wonder, ‘OK, what else is there for me to do? How else can I make the most of my time if I can’t always work towards getting better physically? What else am I doing to make myself better spiritually and emotionally?”

Cash started focusing on developing friendships outside volleyball and spending more time on art projects. Earlier this summer, she traveled the world with her older sister, Alice, in a continuing effort to broaden her horizons.

Alice Cash is an aspiring theater director. Samantha’s younger sister, Gretchen, is making her own mark as a volleyball standout at The Bishop’s School. She is an incoming senior who’s committed to Division I Hofstra.

Samantha Cash’s travels included a visit to Mount Everest’s Northern Base Camp (on the Tibetan side), where an exchange with some pushy merchants quickly turned into an impromptu volleyball lesson at 15,000 feet above sea level.

Sisters Samantha and Alice Cash on their recent trip abroad. Courtesy photo “I kind of bring volleyball where ever I go,” Cash said.

“None of them spoke any English, and we couldn’t speak any Tibetan, so it was all hand motions and cheering and smiles all the way around.”

The visit to Mount Everest was cut short by a blizzard — in June — that forced them to evacuate.

“We made the last car out,” Cash said. “We were texting our parents that we were OK every five minutes. It was pretty scary.”

Cash’s travels included cultural eye-openers in Abu Dhabi, where she and her sister rode segregated buses — women were separated from men by glass barriers — and in China, where they visited the last Maoist village.

“It was so interesting seeing things you only read about

in textbooks and really kind of looking at the past, except having it right in front of you,” Cash said.

Now that she’s back to her volleyball routine, Cash is looking to the future.

Readying for her senior year at Pepperdine, she will play for the U.S. National Team next year. She hopes to represent the United States in the Olympics, possibly as soon as the 2016 games in Rio, although she acknowledges the 2020 Tokyo games are more realistic.

Cash is already considered a transformational figure at Canyon Crest Academy, where her emergence helped propel the upstart program to an appearance in the state tournament in her senior year.

“She was the first real big-time local player to choose CCA,” said Ravens coach Ariel Haas. “Through her, CCA volleyball was put on the map, and it has only grown from there.”

Haas believes Cash’s impact remains a factor in the program’s continued success in recent years. The Ravens were bumped up to the San Diego Section’s elite Open Division last year.

“Her personality and her desire to get better and her desire to win was quite infectious, not only for the players that were there around her, but other players that watched her and wanted to emulate her,” Haas said.

“That only helped to grow the program.”

Cash believes she’s grown, too, noting that her travel experiences contributed to her development.

“I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on any volleyball because I went on this trip,” she said. “I feel like I’ve grown as a person, and that’s just as important.”

For an athlete who aspires to compete internationally, there are obvious tangible benefits to learning how to find your way around while traveling abroad.

Cash also believes she’s found more balance in her life, noting that she’s feeling healthier since learning how to take care of herself better than she used to.

“If I hadn’t had that time to kind of re-evaluate myself as a person and not just as an athlete, I don’t think I would have taken this trip,” Cash said. “I would have thought, ‘Oh, I need to play volleyball now, I need to get better.’”

Inspired black belt students Come aboard Torrey Pines bring home the coveted gold High School Sailing Team

BY JEANNE FERRIS Two area martial arts competitors brought home gold at a recent tournament, illustrating the successful methods of instructor Stephanie Zeno at American Family Martial Arts in Solana Beach.

Andrew Renner and Felicia Ferris recently competed in the AK Martial Arts & Fitness Annual Friendship Tournament. Renner won first place in forms in the Black Belt teen division. Forms are choreographed defensive and offensive moves, increase in difficulty with each rank, and require memorization and precise execution.

Ferris, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, won first place for point sparring as the only female in the Black Belt teen division.

Renner is the leader of the AFMA Cohort 2014 and aiming for his third degree as a black belt. A nationally-certified karate instructor, he teaches tae kwon do part time while studying psychology and communications at Cal State San Marcos full time. AFMA Cohort is mandatory and an arduous fivemonth commitment for any student choosing to earn a black belt or a higher degree.

“I’ve been studying with Ms. Zeno at AFMA for 12 years,” he said, “and she has been a great role model in teaching that if I really want something in life, I have to work hard and persevere through any and all hardships. The outcome in the end is always more satisfying when you have conquered the challenges [of] your goals.”

Ferris is also a student at AFMA and studying for her second degree in Co-hort.

Both Renner and Ferris volunteer with St. James Mission Circle, a charitable organization that serves the disadvantaged both locally and internationally.

Their instructor, Stephanie Zeno, is an example of AFMA’s tae kwon do tenets of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. Zeno is a 5th-degree black belt and works personally with children as young as 3 years old.

“Ms. Zeno has been an amazing influence on my son, Brody,” said Estela Leidy, a Skyline Elementary kindergarten teacher. “He has been studying with her since age 4 and we just love her.”

Zeno’s motto? The words of Nelson Mandela: “The tiny seed carries the promise of the mighty tree. You must invest in your youth.”

Andrew Renner and Felicia Ferris.

As sole owner of AFMA, she has sown seeds of success since 1990.

“Our program is unlike any after-school enrichment or YMCA class,” said Zeno. “Our direction is about enriching the lives of our students and their families, not only through martial arts, but by living the tenets. There are many skillful masters in martial arts, but not all of them know how to teach. We teach through positive reinforcement — very different from most martial arts schools.”

AFMA’s regional director is Master Stephen Truscott, Zeno’s teacher. AFMA is associated with Family Karate and founded by Master Charles E. Hawkins, 72, who recently earned a 10th-degree black belt, the highest rank.

His teacher was Grand Master J. Pat Burleson, also a 10th-degree black belt, director of World Martial Arts Ranking Association (which all black belts test under) and the first U.S. National Karate Champion in 1964. Burleson trained under Grand Master Jhoon Rhee, who is credited with bringing tae kwon do to the United States.

This past year, 14 black belt alumnae revisited the AFMA dojang from countries as far as Denmark and Australia — once a family karate member, always a member.

BY MARNI KAUFMAN Beyond its stellar academic record, Torrey Pines High School is also famous for its formidable basketball crew, Rory Mcilroy-inspired golf team, and invincible volleyball league, among others.

However, Torrey Pines also has a club that has navigated its crew through the shoals of an invigorating letter sport on the high seas every Wednesday after school — the sailing team. Torrey Pines Sailing Team has developed into a friendly yet competitive group that allows teammates to stop and smell the salty air and appreciate nature and the magnificent outdoors.

Even on the coldest and calmest of days, the team still manages to enjoy and learn the skills of sailing a CFJ (Club Flying Juniors) sailboat.

After two years on the team, I have observed the strong camaraderie and complementary skills of the two partners on the boat.

Team Captain Trey Muschamp has been sailing for six years. He joined the team five years Torrey Pines Sailing Team captain Trey ago while in middle school.

Muschamp rigs the jib. First practice is “My position is more along the lines of Sept. 3 at the Southwestern Yacht Club teaching skippers and crew the assorted skills in Point Loma. of sailing,” he said. “The president of the team, Robbie Johnson, takes on a more administrative role.”

Whether this year will be more competitive rather than recreational, Trey said, “depends on the number of people on the team, and since we are expecting a larger group we will try to lean towards a more advanced racing team, but still keep it fun. I want to ignite the fire in these young sailors so they will come back year after year.”

Muschamp also mentioned that sailing is an impressive passion, since it is a combination of all great sports. Not only is it physically demanding, it’s mentally challenging, like chess. “You have to continuously out-think your opponent to get ahead.”

That plan of action applies for both weekly practices and during the exhilarating regattas (sailing meets). Sept. 13 kicks off the first regatta, called a “friendly,” in Newport Beach, while in October the team heads north to Monterey for the Sea Otter regatta where Torrey Pines will compete against statewide schools.

This is just one of the many perks of sailing, over and above the intrinsic beauty of the sport: meeting students from other teams, making lifelong connections, and especially opening your eyes to fun and exciting experiences.

The team is searching for new skippers and crew members. There are no skill, height, weight, gender or age requirements. Everyone with an adventurous spirit and love of the wind and water is welcome. The first practice will be Wednesday, Sept. 3, at the Southwestern Yacht Club in Point Loma with Coach Eric Heim, who will teach dedicated sailors the finer points of tacking and gybing, along with other strategies and techniques.

For more about the Torrey Pines Sailing Club, contact Robbie Johnson at 858-442-8871 or robbiej987@gmail.com.

Marni Kaufman is a senior at Torrey Pines High School, a passionate sailor and skipper on the sailing team.

Carmel Valley running events kick into high gear for 2014-15 Carmel Valley is one of San Diego’s fastest-growing communities, and with growth comes many opportunities and possibilities for activities and community projects. The running industry has taken notice and advantage of Carmel Valley’s picturesque bike paths, roadways, and trail systems.

Over the past couple of years, Carmel Valley has seen a few events run through the area, but one of the most notable is the third annual Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K and Kids Fun Run. In 2015, the event will start and finish at the Bay Club on Carmel Country Road while using the 56 Bike Path for the run course. The Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K and Kids Fun Run also helps raise money for 22 local schools in Carmel Valley. To date, the event has raised a total of $70,000.

Seeing the continued success of the Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run, Seasick Marketing, a Del Mar-based sports marketing company, wanted to help continue the trend of bringing running events to Carmel Valley, especially to lesser-used areas. In the next few weeks, Seasick Marketing will bring in two new events: the Carmel Valley Trail 10K/ 5K (Sept. 20) and the San Diego Monster Run 5K (Oct. 25). Both events will support and raise money for the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

The Carmel Valley Trail 10K and 5K will use Gonzales

Open Space Canyon with a start and finish at Torrey Highlands Community Park (behind Torrey Pines High School), while the San Diego Monster Run 5K (a Halloween-themed Costume Fun Run) will start and finish at the Changes Plastic Surgery Center parking lot on El Camino Real, heading onto the 56 Bike Path heading East. This will be the first time that the western side of Gonzales Open Space has been used for a trail race, and the first time that a Halloweenthemed fun run will be held in Carmel Valley.

The San Diego Monster Run 5K will include costume contests, silent auctions, kids area, food trucks, and live music.

“We are excited to get these events under way, and are hoping both these events will add to the community,” said Jeff Stoner of Seasick Marketing. “Gonzales Open Space is a beautiful area for trail running and we want to show everyone in the San Diego area that it is definitely worth a visit.

And since Carmel Valley is such a family friendly community, we felt a themed fun run would be the next best option in getting that demographic involved with our races.”

Seasick Marketing hopes that its fundraising efforts for the Challenged Athletes Foundation will be comparable to the success that the Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K has had in raising money for the Carmel Valley schools.

“Katie Wilsey has done an amazing job the last couple years at getting the Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K off the ground and showing support for the community,” said Stoner. “We are hoping to follow her lead. The Challenged Athletes Foundation is such a great local charity that is close to our hearts, and we wanted to make sure this was the first foundation we worked with on these events.”

In recent weeks, there had been some confusion that the Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K had changed to a trail race and moved its date, but this is not the case. Seasick Marketing and Katie Wilsey want to assure everyone that they support each other’s races, and that their respective races are separate events.

“The last thing we wanted to do was confuse people, so after our first annual Carmel Valley Trail 10K and 5K on Sept. 20 has concluded, we will look at making an adjustment to the name in 2015, while keeping the Carmel Valley roots,” said Stoner.

How many of you see an eye doctor and ask to have the vision of a 70-year-old, when understandably we’d all like to have the vision of a 30-year-old? Why should treating hormone deficiencies be any different?

Bio-identical hormone therapy may reduce cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, hot flashes and many other conditions previously thought to be normal signs of aging. Did you know many of the concerns associated with HRTs have been linked to synthetic hormones Premarin and Provera (medroxyprogesterone) – NOT bioidentical hormones?

GU8 Academy Select wins Coastal Classic GU8 Academy Select and Coach Steveo went undefeated in four games to win the Coastal Classic in Carlsbad on Aug. 23-24. The girls scored 25 goals, allowing only two, thanks to several outstanding saves by their goalie.

Results of a French twelve-year study of 80,000 women showed NO increased cancer risk in women using bio-identical estrogen and progesterone therapies when compared to women using no hormones. Women using bioidentical HRT may enjoy relief from many of the pre/post-menopausal symptoms, both minor and major, once dosing of each hormone is in proper balance.

Starting as early as your late 20’s and through to your late 40’s, females can start to significantly reduce the production of progesterone compared to estrogen, leading to what is known as “Estrogen Dominance.”

Symptoms can include: UÊ ÀÀi}Õ >ÀÊ i ÃiÃÊUÊ Ã >ÊUÊ Ài>ÃÌÊ/i `iÀ iÃÃÊ UÊ `Ê-Ü }ÃÊUÊ ÌÊ >Ã iÃÊUÊ V iÊ UÊ7i } ÌÊ > Ê vÊ «ÃÊ> `Ê/ } ÃÊUÊ }À> iÃÊ We urge those who are seeking information or just curious about what HRTs can do for them to call or come into Carmel Valley Pharmacy and speak with our staff. Many retail pharmacies don’t compound, so many patients are often times unaware of how compounded medication like HRTs can improve quality of life. For many, becoming educated can be the first step in a positive, life-improving direction. As society moves forward in scientific achievements it is time to throw out old ways of thinking and embrace new medical approaches that may allow us to live our lives to the fullest.

Letters to the editor/Opinion One Paseo will affect emergency response times

To your health: 5 questions to ask your new doctor

I’m writing in opposition to the current One Paseo proposal and the impacts it will have on our community. Carmel Valley has a large population of retirees and elderly people, like me. I am extremely concerned that One Paseo will increase the response times of emergency service vehicles due to the inevitable gridlock the project will create on our local streets.

My wife and I live comfortably on our own in Carmel Valley. We are, fortunately, in good health. Many retirees and elderly are not in good health. The elderly have the comfort of knowing they live in a community with good emergency response times. Even with today’s traffic, I have on several occasions seen emergency vehicles struggle to get down Del Mar Heights Road. Kilroy Realty has proposed a project that will dramatically increase traffic and will clearly delay the emergency response times. Increased traffic threatens the independence and potentially the safety of Carmel Valley seniors. The information regarding the traffic solution Kilroy has distributed is misleading and disingenuous, because the solutions are decades away. Any project that causes immediate public safety impacts demands simultaneous mitigation!

All seniors who care about their independence and emergency response times should be concerned about the potential impacts of the One Paseo development. We must fight for a development that does not seriously impact traffic, does not threaten our safety and allows us to continue to enjoy our independent lifestyle.

Sincerely, Bill Chatwell

BY LAWRENCE SCHLITT, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH At some point, nearly everyone will need to choose a new physician, perhaps because of a change in insurance, a move to a new city, or simply a feeling that it is time to make a switch.

Your relationship with your physician is perhaps one of the most important in your life, and you want a provider who is not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but also understands your needs and communicates effectively.

Asking a few important questions like the ones below can help ensure you will feel confident and comfortable with your new doctor.

1. What are your qualifications?

Medical school is only the beginning of a physician’s education and training; an internship, followed by a residency in the physician’s area of specialization, also are required. Some physicians go on to complete a fellowship, which is another period of specialized medical training or research.

Ask about board certification. A board-certified physician has gone beyond basic licensing and met nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, experience and skills in a specific medical specialty. Studies have shown that board-certified physicians provide higher quality care and have better patient care outcomes.

Ask whether the physician has any special areas of expertise. A primary care physician, for example, may enjoy working with amateur athletes, or may have an interest in complementary treatments such as acupuncture or herbal medicine. Some gynecologists specialize in treating the challenges of infertility or menopause. Many physicians participate in research studies as well, or teach at local universities or medical schools.

2. To which hospitals do you admit patients?

If you should need surgery or hospital care, ask where the physician will send you. Ideally, you want to go to a hospital, clinic or surgery center that has undergone a rigorous on-site evaluation against established quality and safety standards, such as that provided by The Joint Commission. Also, make sure your insurance plan covers care at the hospital with which your physician is affiliated.

3. How do you like to work with patients?

Good communication is key to a strong relationship between physician and patient. Some physicians take a more authoritative approach to care, and tell patients exactly what to do rather than discussing various options with them. This approach may be welcomed by patients who want the doctor to make all the decisions about their care.

Other physicians may offer several options and make a recommendation. For example, “You can reduce the sodium in your diet or take medication to control your blood pressure. I would recommend the medication.” Still other physicians may explain all of the treatment options, discuss the pros and cons of each, and leave the final decision up to the patient. Decide how involved you want to be in your treatment decisions, and find a doctor with a similar approach.

4. Who can I call if I have questions?

If you have a question about your care, who can you contact for information? Physicians generally cannot come to the phone every time a patient calls. Often, calls are handled by a nurse or physician assistant, who may be able to return your call sooner than the doctor could. If they cannot provide an answer or you really need to speak with the physician, ask how long it will take for him or her to get back to you. Some physicians may answer questions by email as well.

5. What if I need care on short notice or after office hours?

If you are sick or injured, will you be able to be seen within a day or two? Some physicians make time for last-minute appointments or have their physician assistants or nurse practitioners available to handle them. Also, know what to expect if you call after hours, such as in the evening or on a weekend.

If there is no physician on call, you may need to go to an urgent care center or emergency department.

Knowing what to expect from a new physician can help build trust, confidence and satisfaction. Remember, you and your physician are a team, and the better you work together, the better you will feel about your care.

You can’t lie to the city. But apparently it’s OK to mislead the community if there are additional millions to be made. The final EIR to the city on Kilroy’s proposal found nine environmental impacts, especially regarding traffic and neighborhood character, that even including the proposed mitigation measures — such as two I-5/SR 56 freeway connectors that, best case, won’t be built until 2030 — remain significant. Kilroy’s published response to the community: “We don’t have any unmitigatable impacts.”

Want to run that by us again?

What you see is not what you get. The pictures in the newspapers and the brochures are just idealized concept renderings developers use to elicit “feel good” support for a project. They’re not what the project will really look like. Nowhere do they show the proposed nine-story (170 feet) office towers and other high-rise structures rising up just 10 feet from the street, walling off One Paseo from the community like a fortress. And the image of that soccer fieldsized family open space? Once you lay out 1.5 million square feet of buildings with interior roads, walkways, parking and landscaping in actual scale, it shrinks dramatically to a very small area.

Vote No on One Paseo, and we still get Puesto, True Food, North Italia and more. That’s right — if the City Council

votes No on this oversized version of One Paseo, the developer’s only choice will be to come back — quickly — with a smaller version. It will likely include these restaurants and more because they’re already committed and represent only a very small portion of the project. Like the TWC commercial emphasizes: We don’t have to buy all that extra furniture — or in this case, buildings — to get the ones we want.

And forcing the developer to eliminate some of the office and residential we don’t need creates room for that big, green open space and large public plazas the renderings promise. Plus we won’t be stuck an extra 20 minutes in traffic going to and from work or our kids’ schools to be able to enjoy it.

Bonus fact: The One Paseo version Kilroy is pushing, triple the size approved in our Community Plan and generating nearly 400 percent more unmitigated traffic, is not an “All or None” proposition. Attend tonight’s Planning Board meeting and urge our board to reject this version, and the project’s economics will compel Kilroy to return with the same concept but on a smaller scale that better fits our community’s character and infrastructure capacity. One that really does incorporate our vision.

Robert Freund Carmel Valley resident and retired commercial real estate executive

An offense to the community and to the General Plan Why won’t Kilroy propose a smaller mixed-use project that would not overwhelm our streets? Because they would not make enough profit. This is what they say, in more elegant terms, in Appendix B.3 Retail Critical Mass Memo for Reduced Project Alternatives of the Final Environmental Impact Report for One Paseo.

Kilroy goes to great extent to disguise their profit motivation by claiming that the oversize project is in accordance with the “City of Villages” concept adopted by the city of San Diego and embedded in the General Plan. The General Plan is supposed to guide all development.

So what is this “City of Villages” concept? It is a commonsense response to increasing population and the potential of increasing traffic congestion. It proposes to build dense (read housing units per acre) communities, or to densify existing communities, around transportation nodes, thus saving us from a sprawl which would threaten our rural lands. For its success in preventing traffic congestion, the concept relies on the villages being connected by public

transit. The skeleton of the City of Villages concept exists here in North City, but a skeleton City of Villages it remains until the public transit links are developed.

One Paseo claims to be the heart of Carmel Valley, but it plans to be the heart of an area reaching 10 miles in all directions. Kilroy makes much of some cosmetic attempts to provide pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly options for local residents, but in fact it is dependent for its profit on a sufficient conglomeration of high-end shops and restaurants that will draw people from afar by automobile.

Is Carmel Valley, or Torrey Pines, or Del Mar, or Solana Beach served well by a closer Ann Taylor, Lululemon, or Pottery Barn, typical offerings of an urban center? Not at the expense of a 370 percent increase in traffic density. Nor is One Paseo adhering to the General Plan if it places a Lifestyle Center right next to a Town Center when both rely exclusively on the automobile for access.

I say One Paseo is an offense to the community and to the General Plan.

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community monthly through our local media. Topics will include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest issues.

Today’s update focuses on welcoming all to the new year and our 2014-15 priorities.

BY RICK SCHMITT On behalf of our Board of Trustees, I want to welcome you and our 12,400-plus students to the 2014-15 academic year. The start of a new school year is always exciting. We have spent the summer eagerly preparing for your student’s return on Aug. 26 and look forward to sharing new learning experiences with each of you. For parents/guardians whose students are entering our schools for the first time, I would like to extend a special heartfelt thank Rick Schmitt you for the trust you have placed in us.

For generations, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) has been the educational home to students across our community, as well as a critical part of what makes our cities and towns such a great place to live. As superintendent, I am thrilled to live in our community and be part of a school district whose traditions are honored and where keeping current with the best teaching and learning practice is valued. Our priorities include communicating and delivering our vision for success …

1. by offering a cohesive curriculum, instruction, and assessment program aligned to Common Core; 2. by deliberately prioritizing budget stabilization and recovery; 3. in world-class, 21st Century facilities aligned with instructional priorities, school safety, balanced enrollment capacity and our multi-year Prop AA projects.

Here is a brief update on Common Core, Prop AA, and school safety.

Common Core Our district continues our gradual, multiyear transition to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, Mathematics, and Literacy. These standards represent a significant shift in what we expect our students to know and be able to do, and the standards apply to all of our subject areas. The CCSS ask students to think deeply and critically about information, to apply knowledge and skills in solving real-world problems, and to master key skills essential to success in college and the workplace. 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication are central to the CCSS and will help ensure that our students are prepared for whatever path they choose when they leave our schools.

One major area of focus for us this year will be ensuring that the learning outcomes we identify for each course are aligned with CCSS and that the assessments that we use to measure student learning are also aligned with CCSS expectations.

We will also begin to implement our new CCSS-aligned integrated math courses in grades 7-9, and we will support student learning in these courses with new instructional materials.

Finally, we will focus our professional development efforts on helping our teachers make the shifts in instructional and assessment strategies inherent to the CCSS. All of these shifts will be gradual, collaborative, and will be supported by ongoing comprehensive professional development for our teachers and staff. With this in mind, we expect students to find new levels of engagement in and ownership of learning.

For information about our district’s transition to the Common Core State Standards please visit our CCSS website at https://sites.google.com/a/sduhsd.net/ccsscommunity/.

Prop AA Over the last two summers, Proposition AA has funded improvement projects at every one of our schools. We have updated several media centers, expanded bandwidth and wireless access, built new fields and stadiums, and added air conditioning to hot classrooms. Our newest middle school, which will open next fall, is under construction, and building continues on new high school science classrooms. I’m proud to report that so far all of our projects have come in at or below budget.

As we head into this school year, we are excited to expand upon that work and prepare for the next series of projects which will focus on new science and academic buildings, renovations of older classrooms, accommodating enrollment demand at our academies, and completing technology infrastructure upgrades at all of our schools.

We will be working with the Board of Trustees throughout the year to align instructional priorities with project budgets for the next two years. We will keep our Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee and the public informed of our progress. For detailed information, refer to our regularly-updated Prop AA website.

School Safety Last year, I reported to you on our efforts to increase student safety at our schools. Teachers and principals worked together to identify areas to improve security on campus. We addressed many of those items over the summer and will continue to target the remaining issues this year. Some improvements will take longer to plan, and Prop AA projects will certainly play a part in bolstering our physical security. Principals will keep all informed of our plans and interim solutions as we continually refine our focus on safety.

We are also reinforcing a culture of safety. We will continue to work with law enforcement on our emergency response planning and training. Visitor and staff identification policies are being revised to help distinguish adults on campus better. The most important factor, however, is that students, parents, teachers, administrators and staff talk about what is happening at school and work together to ensure that school is a safe place for every student.

Our continuous improvement efforts are critical to our students, ensuring that the high quality of our schools is maintained. Improving student achievement goes beyond academics, co- and extra-curricular activities, and student performance. It means conservative budgeting and seeking new ways to protect taxpayer investment in our schools. SDUHSD has earned a reputation for efficiency and quality.

Please know that we always work to address critical issues transparently and involve community members in decisions that must be made on behalf of students. We will maintain our track record of inclusion and collaboration with our parents and extended commu-

nity. Back-To-School nights are a great chance for you to be involved and hear from your children’s principals and teachers. Please take note of the following web addresses: Back-To-School Nights Schedule: www.sduhsd.net/documents/Superintendent/ News%20-%20Homepage/Back%20To%20School%20Nights-%202014.pdf 2014-15 Instructional Calendar: www.sduhsd.net/documents/District%20Calendars/2014-15%20Instructional%20Calendar-%20Bd%20Approved%2006-16-11.pdf When I reflect on what we have to be proud of in San Dieguito, I always think about our talented students and staff who are regularly recognized for their achievements. They make us all proud. One way to follow all of our amazing students, staff and programs is to follow SDUHSD updates on Facebook, Twitter, the SDUHSD website, through our local media outlets, and by attending our school and community events.

On behalf of our district, please accept my thanks for your support of our schools and our students, and on a personal level, for the opportunity to lead and work with you as your superintendent.

DM council ignores voters’ rights Recently, notice was given that the Del Mar City Council members would interrupt their August vacation to hold a special meeting Aug. 20 to vote to cancel the Del Mar citizens’ right to vote in November for the election of two councilmen for the next term! And to appoint the two instead!

The reason being to save $7,000-$9,000 cost to hold the election.

What a cheap price for the citizens’ right to vote! And if 2000 citizens would have voted in November, the two appointed councilmembers wouldn’t know whether they had the approval and support of 2,000 Del Mar voters, or 50!

What other citizens’ rights will be ignored during the next council term?

Kids Korps to join forces with B&G clubs The boards of directors for Kids Korps USA and Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito have approved a plan to merge and develop a leading youth volunteer organization.

Earlier this year, the board of Kids Korps USA decided to investigate strategic alternatives that would let the organization’s programs be operated under another San Diego County youth development organization with greater programs and services. Through this merger, the Kids Korps USA mission, members and services will achieve economies of scale under the infrastructure of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito.

“The creation of a vibrant and leading volunteer organization is an important initiative in our strategic plan,” said David H. Crean, president and CEO for Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. “There is a continuing need to connect youth to volunteerism and ensure that the value of giving back and philanthropy is part of the next generation’s lifelong commitment to service. Volunteering has a substantial socio-economic and psychology impact on others, especially on those most in need. We are committed to continuing the legacy of Kids Korps USA, strengthening our mission, and offering youth and their families’ valuable opportunities in making a difference in the lives of others.”

Kids Korps USA, which was founded in 1995 under the leadership of Rancho Santa Fe resident and co-founder Joani Wafer., is a leading national nonprofit youth volunteer organization. Its mission is to instill the spirit of giving while providing valuable education in leadership and civic responsibility. More than 325 community-based organizations have partnered with Kids Korps for their youth and adult volunteers to meet their program and service needs. Kids Korps has also partnered and operated more than 60 chapters with school and other community-based organizations across San Diego County.

The process and timeline for the integration will probably take up to three months to develop.

“We are very excited to be combining forces with the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito,” stated Kevin Harris, board chairman of Kids Korps USA. “Their mission to inspire and enable youth to achieve academic success, build good character and responsible citizenship and make healthy lifestyle choices is very much aligned with Kids Korps.

“Our members will now have access to our youth volunteerism projects and a broad range of extensive community-focused programs offered by the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. We look forward to working together through this transition and coming together to help strengthen the fabric of the San Diego Community through our youth.”

When youth volunteer, the larger community benefits. Volunteerism promotes positive citizenship among youth by encouraging them to be more engaged in their own communities. Youth who volunteer feel more connected to their community, are more likely to show concern, and to stay in or return to their communities. Thus, youth volunteerism contributes substantially to community vitality.

Studies suggest that youth volunteerism contributes to identity development, enhancement of skills (including increasing job marketability), increased self-esteem, development of empathy, and other improvements related to positive youth development.

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito offers numerous specialized programs for youth.

Kids Korps will be among some of the unique programs offered at the club, which include: Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, helping mitigate childhood obesity by providing gardening, healthy cooking, and nutrition classes; Youth Arts Academy, offering music classes, rock band classes, private lessons, dance classes, and a theater and dramatic arts program for ages 5-18; Big 8 Middle School Sports, which worked in 2003 with the San Dieguito Union High School District to acquire all middle school athletic programs previously being offered by the district; and the Carmel Valley Montessori School, providing a nurturing, child-centered environment where individual needs are met at each development stage.

ELECTION continued from page 1

validation for the candidates and the public that the elected city council members are true representatives of the people,” Sinnott said.

With a number of major projects on the horizon, including City Hall and a master plan for Del Mar Shores Park, Sinnott said he is “worried it will be difficult to represent the majority of the community” if he is appointed rather than elected.

“I did not file candidate papers to be appointed to the council,” he added. “I filed to be elected by the voters.”

This is the first time Del Mar has canceled an election.

Haydu noted when she and Sinnott ran in 2010, a third candidate, Jim Tucker, was on the ballot but eventually ended his bid for office. When Councilman Don Mosier ran in 2008, and again in 2012 with Corti and Councilwoman Sherryl Parks, there were other local ballot measures, she said.

In this election, potential candidates Kevin Burke and Paul Von Petersen pulled nomination papers but ultimately decided not to file, leaving Sinnott and Worden unopposed.

“What you’re asking us to do is have an election so that you are elected and not appointed, and there’s nothing else on the ballot for us to vote on for the city of Del Mar,” Haydu said. “To me, I think that’s asking a lot.”

Although canceling an election is a first for Del Mar, neighboring Solana Beach has now opted for appointments over elections three times since 2008.

The Solana Beach City Council, which met at 5:30 p.m., also voted 3-2 in favor of appointments. The newly appointed council members are incumbent Mike Nichols, who was first elected to the council in 2006, and newcomer Ginger Marshall, who was in attendance.

She will fill the seat held by Mayor Thomas Campbell, who said he would not seek a sixth term after his appointment in 2010.

Campbell and Councilman David Zito voted against the appointments, with Campbell noting he has a record of voting against appointments because he feels “the write-in process is part of the democratic process.”

Nevertheless, the majority of the council favored canceling the election, which could save Solana Beach, the second smallest city in the county, as much as $12,000.

“There’s spending money on foolish things and then there’s spending money on worthwhile things,” Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner said. “When there’s a foregone conclusion that there are two people in the race and two seats, why would you spend the taxpayers’ money when you already know that there are going to be those same two people in the seat and both of them are going to be mayor?”

Six community members addressed the council, with three asking council members to move forward with the election. Campbell noted the city also received 14 emails from residents in favor of appointments.

Patrick Germon and Shannon Lerach also pulled nomination papers. Germon decided not to run early on, but Lerach decided not to file just before the deadline.

Solana Beach residents Jim Nelson and Mary Jane Boyd said they were under the impression there would be three candidates; therefore, they said an election should take place to allow write-in candidates to qualify for consideration.

“The current negative political climate in this city has created a concern that people do not want to run for public office in Solana Beach. That is really a sad commentary on our city,” Boyd said. “I’m here to ask you to please vote in favor of an election. This will protect the legal right of voters to participate in a write-in campaign.”

The deadline to file nomination papers in both Del Mar and Solana Beach was Aug. 8, but was extended by five days because both incumbents did not file in either city.

Solana Beach resident Gerri Retman-Opper reiterated that potential candidates had five additional days to file papers.

“Anybody could have jumped into this race,” Retman-Opper said. “The likely outcome, if we put this to a ballot, is that these two people are going to win. That’s been proven over time. I don’t think there’s any situation I can think of where a write-in candidate has prevailed. I think this is an opportunity to just stir up a little trouble.”

“If there were more candidates interested, they would have submitted their papers,” resident Gary Martin added. “It’s pretty well known in the community right now that we’ve got two candidates for two spots.”

Sinnott and Worden will take the oath of office and begin their four-year term in Del Mar on Dec. 2, with Nichols and Marshall taking the council dais to begin their four years in Solana Beach on Dec. 10.

PRINCIPAL continued from page 3 about education.”

As the new principal of a school that’s celebrating its 60th anniversary, he has many exciting challenges ahead.

Camacho wants to reconnect with the community, help the school transition to the Common Core State Standards and bridge the district’s initiatives to the site. The school is also undergoing a complete rebuild over the next two years.

“I’m very excited and honored to be a part of Earl Warren’s wonderful, rich history,” he said. “I feel blessed to be back in the community. It’s such a wonderful opportunity at a time where we’re celebrating 60 years and going through a huge transition.”

Brandeis group hosts luncheon The San Dieguito Chapter of the Brandeis National Committee will hold its first event of their year, the annual Opening Meeting/Study Group Showcase luncheon at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Anyone interested in joining or learning more is cordially invited. Coffee and muffins will be served at 11 a.m., followed by a presentation of the year’s study groups and lunch.

These informal learning sessions on a large range of topics attract many new members to the committee. Almost all groups meet at Seacrest Village, Encinitas. Cost of lunch is $35.

For information or reservations by Sept. 1, call 858-309-8348.

RESERVES continued from page 1

The statutory minimum for school district reserves is 3 percent, less than 20 days of total cash flow.

“We wouldn’t be able to cover our payroll,” Dill said of the 3 percent level.

Dill said SDUHSD maintains a reserve of about 12 percent, and the reserve cap would severely limit the district’s ability to respond to future economic downturns.

The resolution states the district’s belief that prudently setting aside money for economic uncertainties is good financial planning.

“We built our reserve so we could be prepared if there was an economic downturn, and we had a big one in 2008,” Dill said.

Because the district had prepared and maintained its reserves, it didn’t have to lay off teachers, issue furloughs, shorten the school year or reduce salaries, as many districts were forced to do.

The reserve came into play this year when the district faced an uncertainty it hadn’t planned for when its California State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) contribution was increased.

“If we didn’t have the reserves, that would be $800,000 to $900,000 that we would’ve had to find somewhere else,” Dill said.

Supporters of the cap on reserves say that it would promote transparency, local control and accountability. The California Teachers Association has come out in support of the cap on reserves, arguing that taxpayer dollars should be spent in classrooms and not “sitting in bank accounts.”

A bill from the opposition side to repeal the reserve cap, AB 146, failed last week.

SELECTION continued from page 1

educate the community about viable options before seeking input about what options the community likes through surveys and face-to-face dialogues. The group will then make a recommendation to the board.

“We’d like to use a neutral third-party facilitator to run the group and have staff participate as members,” Grove said.

Parent Rita MacDonald spoke at the Aug. 21 meeting, asking the district to improve its communication efforts about high school selection with middle school students who are not in the district.

MacDonald, whose son attended Notre Dame Academy in Carmel Valley, said she was unaware of the procedures and requested her son be placed on the wait list for CCA on March 10, past the March 3 filing deadline. The district could not legally fulfill her request.

“Had my son been added to the wait list, he would’ve been admitted to CCA” with all the other wait-list freshmen, MacDonald said. “I ask that the board correct this oversight …

My family was treated unfairly even though we’re taxpayers living in the district.”

She said her family was discriminated against because her child did not attend a district school and didn’t receive the same notifications as district parents.

Board trustee John Salazar asked Superintendent Rick Schmitt whether something could be done to admit MacDonald’s son, since all other wait list freshmen were accepted.

“All freshmen were admitted off the wait list this year, but there are 167 students in the upper grades on the wait list who followed all the laws and have priority,” said Schmitt.

“We can’t bring in someone who did not participate.”

He said that staff cannot add a student to the wait list after the deadline — it has been the district’s policy for more than 18 years that if families don’t participate in the high school selection by the deadline date, they are ineligible. Schmitt noted that six other Notre Dame students participated in the process and were accepted into their school of choice.

Grove said that parents are notified of the process on the district website, through traditional and social media, as well as an internal email system for district parents.

“There are many ways to become familiar with the system and legally apply,” Schmitt said.

WATER

continued from page 2

California drought. Those restrictions were lifted in 2011.

Jessica Parks, a district spokeswoman, said the agency did not have to fine any customers for violating water-use restrictions the last time they were in effect.

The district also has rebates, incentives and assistance programs to help customers save water, she said. For example, district residents can request a free survey of their property by district staff, who will make recommendations and offer water-saving tips.

For more about the district’s conservation programs, visit www.sfidwater.org/conservation.

Regional water officials have said that if California experiences another dry winter, water supplies could be cut to San Diego County by next year, which could trigger water rationing.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District has a four-step response plan for water shortages. At Level 3, residents and businesses would face additional restrictions, along with possible water rationing. The district has never gone to a Level 3 response, Parks said. Level 4 includes mandatory reductions of over 40 percent, water rationing, and a ban on landscape irrigation.

Also at Thursday’s meeting, board members decided that some irrigation district meetings could be held in the evening starting next year, so that district residents who work during the day can attend. Those meetings would probably include public hearings when such topics as water rates, annual budgets and employee or board member compensation are discussed.

Q&A: Blues and rock shaped musician Carlos Rodriguez Carlos Rodriguez, whose band Stone Horse’s album “Grit,” is nominated for Best Rock Album at the upcoming San Diego Music Awards, is a San Diego native.

Growing up during the Vietnam era, he hung out with his cousins listening to British blues/rock and the music of the era. He was influenced by Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Muddy Waters. His mother bought him his first guitar at La Jolla Music. Teacher Robby Lawrence taught him songs

by Cream and Jimi Hendrix.

He loved King Bisquit blues and Ruby and the Snakes, “my friends and I followed and hung out with these bands.”

In the late ‘70s, his group “Salty Dogs” played concerts and parties. The band was comprised of sons of prominent local families.

The Rolling Stones influenced their music. They started writing originals and received airplay on KGB/FM. “Surfing and music always went hand in hand, so I worked in surf retail a good part of my adult life,” he said. “Stone Horse started as a blues outfit, when Danielle Spade joined in 2009, our musical direction changed.

Without my sobriety, and the support of my friends, our nomination to this year’s SDMA would not have been possible. Selections have been played on 91X, Rock105.3/FM, KPRI/ FM, and 94.9/FM Who or what inspires you?

Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) with their ancient form of “weaving” the layering and meshing of the twoguitar sound.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

Danielle Spade (Stone Horse lead vocalist); my BFF Michael Parma; Marilyn

Carlos Rodriguez Monroe (my date); Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood (Stones) and 1940’s era Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall; and Albert Einstein, I’ve got a million questions for him!

What are your five favorite albums of all time?

“Exile on Main St” (Rolling Stones), “Hot Club of Paris 1935” (Django Reinhardt), “September of My Years” (Frank Sinatra), “Back in Black” (AC/ DC), and “Axis: Bold as Love” (Jimi Hendrix).

What is it you most dislike?

Dishonesty and prejudice.

What is your mostprized possession?

My guitars!

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy going to the beach, locally, and Casita Parma in Baja; going to casinos and Del Mar Racetrack; making healthy dinners with friends; playing music with friends; surfing and dating beautiful women!

What is your philosophy of life?

Carpe diem (or) Sometime you gotta take the rough with the smooth.

What would be your dream vacation?

A tropical beach with friends, warm water, killer surf, healthy food and many lovely ladies!

Jeannine Marquie thrilled to be back in SD as new Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre Coordinator

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Jeannine Marquie landed her dream-teaching job when she began working at Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre Department in 2007. But when schools were hit by the recession and her position went from full time to part time, the actress-turnedteacher had to look elsewhere and eventually relocated to Orange County for work.

Now starting her 18th year as a teacher, Marquie is back in Carmel Valley as the new theater coordinator of Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre Department. Envision offers day classes and after-school programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music.

“I love San Diego,” Marquie said. “When I first started working here, it was a dream job. It was the best ever, so I am beyond thrilled to be coming back.”

A Ventura native, Marquie traveled across the country like many young actors after high school. It was her experience in the Big Apple that inspired her to become a teacher.

“I was kind of a big deal in high school,” she recalled. “Then I went there, and I was not a big deal anymore. I was ill-prepared to not be a big deal, so I wanted to come back and make sure other kids did not have that experience. I wanted to make sure that my students are prepared for what’s going to meet them in the real world of theater, so I was inspired to come back and teach.”

‘I have a lot of passion and energy for theater,’ says Jeannine Marquie, who will be the theater coordinator of Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision program.

Marquie earned a bachelor’s in English with a minor in theater arts from Loyola Marymount University and her teaching credential from California Lutheran University. She later completed a master’s in education from Lesley University.

After college, Marquie returned to her alma mater to begin her teaching career.

She helped build the theater program at Newbury Park High School, starting shortly after the school opened its 400-seat theater.

After five years at Newbury Park, Marquie relocated to San Diego to return to the stage, working with many local theaters, including North Coast Repertory Theatre, San Diego Repertory Theatre, Cygnet Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, Starlight Theatre and more. She also worked briefly at Taft Middle School and Monroe Clark Middle School before joining Canyon Crest Academy.

After a two-year stint as a theater teacher at Canyon

Crest Academy, Marquie worked at Chabad Hebrew Academy, Pacific View Charter School and The Preuss School before moving to Orange County, where she worked at San Clemente High School and Irvine Valley College.

“My favorite thing about teaching is watching a student make a discovery about something, where they feel like they’ve done it on their own and gained something from the experience,” Marquie said.

“That’s something that’s completely unique to teenagers — that joy of learning something new. I love the energy that kids bring to the arts.”

Now that she’s back in San Diego, Marquie said she is excited to have more opportunities to return to the stage.

“It’s important for teachers to be active in their field to keep the passion alive, especially in theater,” she said. “There are so many new and exciting things happening. I find that I learn a lot, and then I can transfer that knowledge to my students.”

But her students are her focus. In fact, she already has the season planned.

With four main productions on her schedule, she will direct two of the productions and guest directors will direct the other two.

“I have a lot of passion and energy for theater,” she said. “I’m excited to bring that to the program.

I have high expectations, but also a lot of heart. My

“I promise that whatever we put on at the school will be enjoyable to San Diego audiences at large.” — Jeannine Marquie students can tell that I really care about them and their experiences. I think that’s something I’m going to bring to the program.”

The season will open Oct. 24 with “Zombie Prom” at the school’s Black Box Theater, directed by Marquie. She described the offBroadway musical as “fun and goofy.”

Guest director Jason Maddy will head the fall’s second production, “Museum,” a satirical study of people viewing a contemporary art exhibit. The play runs Nov. 6-15 at the Canyon Crest Proscenium Theater.

In the spring, Marquie has planned Woody Allen’s “Don’t Drink the Water” at the Black Box Theater, followed by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Evita” at the Proscenium Theater.

In addition, students will put on a cabaret show in the fall and hold a “Shakespeare Under the Stars” event in the spring.

“We have a lot of really talented kids who know a lot about the arts,” Marquie said. “I promise that whatever we put on at the school will be enjoyable to San Diego audiences at large. People will enjoy our plays and our musicals. Come support them.”

Season 33 promises to be a powerhouse for North Coast Rep

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT In numerology, No. 33 is what’s called a “master number” — a balance of powers, transforming the consciousness of many. North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 33rd season looks to be all of that.

Starting with Noel Coward’s “Fallen Angels” on Sept. 3 seems numerologically perfect: No. 3 means creativity, charm, wit and humor, and Coward’s plays have no shortage of those. This one features a pair of married BFFs anxiously awaiting a blast from their once-romantic pasts, with a passionate Frenchman, a sassy housekeeper and two clueless husbands adding to the fun.

Not as well-known as other Coward classics like “Blithe Spirit” or “Private Lives,” “Fallen Angels,” which first opened in London in 1925, has lately been making the rounds of theaters here and abroad and scoring rave reviews.

“It’s a champagne cocktail of a play, one of Noel Coward’s earliest, and it’s directed by Rosina Reynolds, who played one of the leading ladies herself in the late 1980s at the old Gaslamp Theatre,” said NCRT’s Artistic Director, David Ellenstein.

During the run, there will be a one-night reading on Sept. 15 of one of Coward’s last plays, “Song at Twilight.”

“The later play is much darker,” Ellenstein said. “It was written near the end of his life and reveals some of his inner demons. It will be performed on the ‘Fallen Angels’ set.”

Later in September, there will be a special event, presented in connection with the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture — an updated version of “The Rothschilds,” the 1970 Broadway musical that turned out to be the last collaboration of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, best known for “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Composer Bock died in 2010, but lyricist Harnick and bookwriter Sherman Yellen have been reworking the play, now titled “Rothschild & Sons,” for the past few years. Local audiences can see the results in a two-nights-only workshop production Sept. 22 and 23, before the show returns to New York, and possibly, Broadway.

Next up, on Oct. 15, is the San Diego premiere of the 2011 off-Broadway hit, “Freud’s Last Session,” with Ellenstein directing. In this imagined encounter between the aged, cancer-ridden father of psychoanalysis (a devout atheist) and the brilliant young author/professor C.S. Lewis (a former atheist turned devout Christian), their meeting on the eve of World War II turns into an intellectual duel almost to the death on the subjects of love, God, and the meaning of life.

Closing out the year is “This Wonderful Life,” a oneman tour de force based on the popular Christmas film, “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

“Jim Leaming — the Narrator in our recent production of “Who Am I This Time?” — plays all the parts himself,” Ellenstein said. “He’s very charming, very Jimmy Stewart, and he’s been taking the show around the country since 2008. This is the smallest theater he’s performed in, so it should feel very intimate here.”

The new year kicks off with “Gunmetal Blues,” a musical spoof of 1940s film noir, followed by Neil Simon’s au-

Harold Pinter’s powerful “Betrayal” arrives next June, followed by the musical “Side by Side by Sondheim” in July.

Response to Season 33 has already been very positive. “It’s an audiencefriendly season, and our

NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein subscriptions have really gone up,” Ellenstein said.

“But we’re still looking out for a new space. We have 194 seats here, and we’d like to have at least 350, plus a larger stage and more backstage facilities — a bigger and better space to do what we do.”

North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive (a block east of I-5, within the Vons shopping plaza in Solana Beach. For more about Season 33 or to purchase tickets, visit www.northcoastrep.org or call the box office at 858-481-1055.

Carnitas Snack Shack brings porkfest to Del Mar Highlands Town Center

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s new fast-casual porkhouse Carnitas Snack Shack has arrived.

The original recipe North Park location has become well known in San Diego for its pork-centric menu — bacon even factors into dessert options and the fries come with a side of bacon-infused ketchup.

The Snack Shack’s new location in Del Mar Highlands Town Center opened in the afternoon on Thursday, Aug. 21, and stayed busy until 11 p.m.

“The opening was really crazy — it challenged us,” said Chef Hanis Cavin, who co-owns the restaurants with Sara Stroud.

Proof of the success of their new location came from a comment on social media that pronounced that the new Snack Shack was just like the North Park location.

“That’s the best compliment you can give a chef, that the experience was the same because of all the hard work and training that went into making sure people have the same experience in every place,” Cavin said.

Co-owners Cavin and Stroud first met when they were at Kensington Grill — Cavin was the executive chef and Stroud was the general manager.

Stroud has been working in the restaurant industry since she was 15 years old and Cavin has been a chef for 20 years. They started thinking that if anyone could start a successful restaurant, it would be the two of them.

“I’ve been working at white-tablecloth restaurants my whole career. Business in that end was slowing down,” said Cavin, a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute.

“People couldn’t afford to go out to $100 dinners twice a week, but they could do a $20 dinner. We thought we could take all we knew, make quality food and put it into a spot where it looked like fine dining but you don’t have to pay big for it.”

The North Park location opened in 2011 and has since been known not only for the food, but for the hungry lines that spill down the sidewalk. As Cavin likes to say, “The line’s the sign.” He likes it so much, in fact, that he had it put on a T-shirt that employees wear.

The North Park location, unlike Carmel Valley, only has an outdoor patio — there is no indoor seating.

“We’re growing up,” said Cavin of the funky-industrial space with roll-up windows, a showstopper wall with a

Snack Shack’s pork belly app is another popular menu item: really slow-cooked, seared with a caramelized crust and a sweet chili glaze.

Special to the Carmel Valley location are a couple of new menu additions such as a veggie burger, a chopped market vegetable salad and an ahi nicoise salad with seared ahi, fingerling potatoes, green beans, egg and a kalamata olive vinaigrette.

The menu will change to include specials, such as pork belly hash tacos or poutine — French fries smothered with Above: Carnitas Snack Shack chef and co-owner Hanis Cavin, second from left, with cheddar gravy, topped with his kitchen crew.

Sitar hero Sitar virtuoso Kartik Seshadri, mentored by Ravi Shankar, points the way forward for Indian classical music

BY JARED WHITLOCK Growing up in India, Kartik Seshadri was recognized by musicians at age 6 for his full-scale sitar solos.

Not long after, his music even caught the ear of the legendary sitarist Ravi Shankar, who paid him a visit and later became his guru.

“It was a complete honor,” Seshadri said. “Obviously, I couldn’t believe it.”

He added: “No matter what I was doing as a kid, whether flying kites or running down the street or playing cricket or marbles, one thing that always called to “No matter what I was doing as a kid, whether flying me was music. I can’t put kites or running down the street or playing cricket or into words why that is.” marbles, one thing that always called to me was music,” More than five decades says Kartik Seshadri of Encinitas. COURTESY PHOTO later, he’s still enamored with Indian classical music, a form that has its roots in Hindu scriptures and includes instruments like sitar and tanpura.

Seshadri’s dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Songlines Magazine UK has called him today’s greatest sitar player. And the Federation of Indian Associations, San Diego honored him Aug. 24 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, for his contributions to Indian music.

He often performs throughout the world, from Carnegie Hall to his homeland. Once in a while, he plays in Encinitas, where he’s lived for more than two decades.

“Kartik is a world-class musician who has achieved great success internationally,” said Jim Gilliam, Encinitas arts administrator, in an email. “We know him as a humble and generous artist who presents concerts at the Encinitas Library.

“People probably don’t realize that this is the same person who concertizes at Carnegie Hall. His talent and passion for Indian classical music connects with people from all cultures and we are honored that he is part of our local arts community.”

In his teens, Shankar formally took him on as a disciple, which proved to be formative to Seshadri’s development as a musician. Seshadri recalled playing from early in the morning to late at night at Shankar’s house in Varanasi, India.

“We were awash in music, steeped in the depths of our tradition,” Seshadri said. “I learned a lot, to say the least.”

Seshadri moved to the U.S. in 1981 to continue his apprenticeship and support Shankar at concerts throughout the West.

Shankar, who died in December 2012, relocated to Encinitas in the early 1990s, drawn by the weather and tranquil atmosphere. He invited Seshadri to follow.

These days, Seshadri has his own disciples, who come from around the world to learn from him. And he heads one of the world’s largest Indian classical music programs at UC San Diego.

When he’s not teaching, he’s touring.

To that end, one goal of his performances is to change perceptions. To some Westerners, Indian music only conjures up images of the sitar and The Beatles.

“This is a 5,000-year tradition,” Seshadri said. “It didn’t start in the ’60s. I want to convey how ancient this tradition is and how it requires such discipline and rigor. It takes years and years of practice, like studying Bach or Beethoven, to understand the intricacies of a raga.”

Ragas, the lifeblood of Indian classical music, are a large group of traditional melody patterns that musicians infuse with their own improvisation. They often start with an introspective section and later burst into a dramatic emotional finish.

“For those who aren’t familiar with Indian classical music, they have this ‘Aha!’ moment, because they pick up on the improvisation and various movements that happen within the raga,” Seshadri said. “There’s something that speaks to everyone.”

He added: “The challenge with performing is you don’t want to be pedantic and so theoretical you lose your audience. But at the same time, it’s not to be a populist, where you redo the Monterey Pop Festival.”

Similarly, Seshadri is opposed to market-driven fusion music, saying that it often means watering down the Indian form. However, he has pursued orchestra music when it makes sense to him. Notably, he’s collaborated with famed minimalist composer Philip Glass.

“There is a point where you can take Indian music, with great care, to a chamber orchestra,” Seshadri said.

Whether experimental compositions or playing traditional Indian music, he has no plans to stop. Ragas beckon.

“Music, to me, is a tremendous medium for bringing people together,” Seshadri said.

“And it also means being lost in these worlds of sounds.”

DM author takes readers into struggles of parenthood

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a successful husband and a beautiful family, Tasha Donahue had what many would consider “the good life.” When her two oldest children were grown, however, Donahue found herself divorced and her youngest child diagnosed with a life-threatening brain disorder.

From the joys of early motherhood to the struggles of being a single parent, Donahue shares her life story in “More Than Words Can Express: My Journey Through Motherhood.”

“This is his story and my story,” said Donahue, a Del Mar author who More Than Words has lived in the Can Express community for 13 years.

Donahue and her husband divorced in 1995. Just nine months later, their 13-yearold son, Brian, was diagnosed My Journey with epilepsy. through Motherhood “When I diTasha Donahue vorced, I did not know he was about to be diagnosed,” Donahue said. “I don’t know if I would have divorced if I knew ahead of time that I was going to have to deal with this alone. But I did and I survived.”

As a single mother, Donahue had to cope with her son’s diagnosis, as well as his rebellious years, alone.

Those challenges included several brain surgeries, drug abuse, suicide attempts and more.

“If I wasn’t a really, really strong person, Brian probably wouldn’t be alive,” Donahue said. “That’s not even from the epilepsy.

“This book really could have been called, ‘My Family Dysfunction.’ But it really shows Brian’s fight and how he has had to deal with it.”

Now that Donahue has completed the book, she said it was therapeutic, but “the process of getting to that place is painful.”

“If you’re writing a story about heartache, disappointment, and life-and-death circumstances that are real, you’re reliving it with every sentence you write,” said Donahue, who never remarried.

“Now that I’m thankfully done with the book, I can actually relax enough and get back to where I was at, which was a good place. I’m in a good place.”

Now 32, Brian is also in a good place.

He and his pit bull recently returned to Donahue’s Del Mar home. He is working at a local retail store.

“He’s a wonderful young man,” Donahue said.

“The serious core to this book is to never give up on your children,” she added. “If I had given up on him, he wouldn’t be here and we wouldn’t have this fabulous relationship today.”

“More Than Words Can Express” is available in print and as an e-book and on Amazon, CreateSpace and Donahue’s website.

San Diego Friends of Jung to present Sept. 12 DM lecture ‘Mystics, Warriors, and the Grail: Exploring the Sacred Medieval Psyche’ The San Diego Friends of Jung invite the community to its Friday Lecture at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 12, featuring William Grevatt speaking on “Mystics, Warriors, and the Grail: Exploring the Sacred Medieval Psyche.”

The 12th and early 13th centuries mark a dramatic turn in human history, when new forms of religious life sprang up out of the Collective Unconscious, creating new spiritual movements and a constellation of symbols and myths such as the Holy Grail.

This presentation will explore the sacred medieval psyche as manifested through the teachings of

William Grevatt Joachim of Flora and Meister Eckhart; the religious movements of the Cathars and Knights Templar; and the legend of the Holy Grail. These mystics and movements deeply influenced psychologist Carl Jung throughout his life and writings, and continue to resonate in the world today, if we but listen quietly to their message.

A Jungian analyst, Grevatt holds a master’s in education and an education doctorate, and maintains a private practice in Culver City and Whittier Hills. He is the co-director of training for the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern California, based in Culver City.

Coffee, tea and refreshments are available at 7 p.m. before each Friday lecture, held at the Winston School, 215 Ninth St. in Del Mar. Fee is $15 for Friends of Jung members, $17 full-time students and senior citizens (65+), and $20 non-members.

Soul-stirring musical memoir comes to San Diego Repertory

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Mona Golabek is an award-winning concert pianist who has performed with major orchestras around the world and been the subject of several PBS-TV documentaries. In 2003, she co-wrote a book about her mother, Lisa Jura, who was her first piano teacher and lifelong inspiration. The book became the basis for a one-woman show, “The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” which premiered in 2012 at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Pianist/actor/composer/playwright/producer/director Hershey Felder, well-known here for his portrayals of Beethoven, Chopin and Gershwin, adapted and directed the original production, which the L.A. Times called “an arresting, deeply affecting triumph.” The show has since gone on to successful runs in Chicago, Berkeley and New York, and will be coming to San Diego Repertory Theatre Sept. 3-28.

At the keyboard, Golabek shares her family memoir of music, hope and survival, accompanying it with her own renditions of pieces from the classical piano repertoire.

The story begins in Vienna in 1938, with 14-year-old Lisa Jura, whose mother is also a pianist, dreaming of her Viennese concert debut.

But the Juras are Jewish, and the coming of the Nazis puts an end to Lisa’s dreams. Lisa is lucky enough to be one of 10,000 children taken to safety in London as part of the rescue mission called the Kindertransport. Her mother’s last words to her as she boards the train: “Hold on to your music. It will be your best friend.”

Willesden Lane was the hostel where Lisa managed to survive both the Holocaust and the bombing of London, ultimately having her concert debut at London’s Wigmore Hall. Her parents were not so lucky.

Years later, honoring the words of the grandmother she never got to meet, Mona Golabek founded Hold On to Your Music, a nonprofit that provides copies of her book, “The Children Mona Golabek in ‘The Pianist of of Willesden Lane,” and educational materials Willesden Lane,’ at San Diego about events like the Holocaust, to students and Repertory Theatre. Courtesy photo teachers. The organization is dedicated to spreading the message that even in the face of terrible adversity, music has the power to lift and embolden the human spirit.

In a recent interview, at the end of a sold-out, seven-week run of “The Pianist” in New York, Golabek talked about the show’s evolution, and her own.

“I learned my mother’s story during my piano lessons. She would say: ‘Every piece of music tells a story, but you have to discover what the story is.’

“As I played, she would tell me stories, about the boy she fell in love with at the hostel, or how she pounded out a Grieg concerto while the bombs were coming down. Those were the things that sustained her, and she passed them on to me.”

“The Pianist of Willesden Lane” began as a 40-minute selection of her mother’s stories, which Golabek shared at readings around the country. After seeing Hershey Felder’s performance of “Beethoven As I Knew Him,” she phoned him to ask for advice on how to turn her piano-accompanied readings into something more.

“He was so generous,” she said. “I showed him what I’d been doing, and he took me under his wing. He transformed and enriched the piece, and made me become my mother, telling the story in her voice. And the music is the secret arrow that pierces the heart.”

Performing “The Pianist” has been a thrilling experience, Golabek said, not least because of the hundreds of letters she receives, especially from young people, saying how much her mother’s stories have inspired them. “Every night, before I go onstage, I open one of the letters and read it. That helps me give my whole heart to every show.”

What’s next, after San Diego?

In November, she will present a citywide reading in Los Angeles for 10,000 students, which will include a shortened version of the show. Then it’s off to film in London and Vienna, for a planned documentary about her mother, and more performances of the show at the Cleveland Playhouse and Hartford Repertory Theatre.

“It’s an exhausting schedule,” she confessed, “but it’s such a privilege to be able to do this, to keep bringing my mother’s story from one heart to the next.”

If you go: Mona Golabek stars in “The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” which plays matinees/evenings from Sept. 3-28 (Opening: Saturday, Sept. 6) on the Lyceum Stage, San Diego REPertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego. Tickets are $18-$47; call 619-544-1000 or visit www.sdrep.org. Four hours free parking in Horton Plaza Garage with validation at theater.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

Ford 2013 Escape Recall Information: Consumer Info & Recommended Steps Owners of the latest 2013 Ford Escape crossovers are urged to take the next steps to prevent accident and injury following the automaker’s latest recall.

According to New York Times, Ford is recalling about 140,000 vehicles in the United States because of a potential fire hazard. The manufacturer has indicated the Escape’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine may be to blame for 13 recent auto fires that prompted the recall.

Other export markets including Canada may also

be affected. According to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, an additional 21,000 cars are being recalled internationally in addition to the recall in the U.S. Ford explained the recall was voluntarily issued due to concerns over cracks in the engine during possible overheating of the cylinder head. Cracking could lead to leaked oil and a possible fire in the presence of high-heat surfaces.

Although no personal injury has been reported, 13 vehicles were ignited into flames after suspected cracking within the engine components.

Ford aims to fix the problem by enhancing “the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.”

Owners of all 2013 Ford Escapes are urged to visit an authorized dealer to inquire on recall repairs. According the auto manufacturer’s site, some 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes thought to have undergone repair may still produce fuel leaks which could pose a fire hazard. An additional 2,300 vehicles in Canadian and export markets are additionally recalled.

More information on the recall can be found here.

NEXT STEPS: STAY SAFE & FOLLOW UP ON RECALL REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY Ford says the recall is voluntary, but that’s not to

be confused with voluntary repair. In this sense, Ford’s voluntary recall means the company was not forced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue the recall. All consumers, however, should know that recall repairs are urged to be completed as soon as possible and are therefore not voluntary.

To ensure your safety, please make sure to: 1. Contact Ford Immediately If you’re at all unsure whether your vehicle is affected, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and provide your Vehicle Identification Number to receive more information. Alternatively, Ford owners can log onto http://FordOwner.com or by clicking here to find recall information.

2. Schedule Repairs To avoid any risk of fires, you must complete your repairs as quickly as possible. Most authorized Ford dealerships or repair stations will complete your recall repair free of charge. It’s important to contact Ford to find out which locations can service your vehicle for free.

3. Report Any Additional Problems Consumers should notify the auto manufacturer when any additional problems arise. Even if the

issue is small ll – say, lloose h hubcaps b or a trunk k that h won’t stay shut – it’s important to report the malfunction right away. Lives are saved when consumers are proactive.

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

Hunger Games in the Real World The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN At age 6, Nya, a girl living in San Diego, was suffering from malnourishment because her father, a single parent was struggling to raise (and feed) his children on an $11-an-hour job. For long periods of time their cupboards were bare, and Nya, who is now 18, subsisted on a diet of ramen noodles and free lunches provided by her charter school.

She was in crisis, severely starving and depressed, with failing grades one of the many forms of collateral damage.

After three weeks of eating cheap, toxic carbs, Nya landed at Urgent Care.

At this turning point, her proud father was now willing to accept help from the county in the form of CalFresh benefits (food stamps), enabling him to buy healthier foods, and provide a more balanced diet for his family with an assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins and grains. Once the children had access to nutritious food, they were transported from a dark past to a future of hope.

Today Nya is thriving as she completed her senior year of high school with an impressive 3.5 GPA. She is enjoying a full-time summer job and headed to community college this month.

According to Jennifer Tracy, executive director of the San Diego Hunger Coalition, 15 percent of San Diego children are not getting enough food to sustain themselves, and some are stuffing their bodies with cheap, empty calories caus-

All of the bedrooms except one are clustered in one wing while the 5th bedroom which is perfect for the maid or guests is located on the opposite side of the home. The open kitchen flows beautifully into a bright family room and dining room and overlooks the backyard with pool/spa, fire pit, and grassy areas for the kids to play. The gleaming hardwood floors have just been refinished, the front deck has been restained, the skylights are new: all that is needed is a new family to move in and start enjoying the Covenant lifestyle with its fabulous school (K-8), fabulous trail system with over 50 miles of groomed trails, and fabulous golf course and tennis facility.

ing obesity (another form of malnutrition) and diabetes.

Tracy claims this problem is a curable one. The Center for American Progress conducted a recent study that found it costs more to allow hunger to persist than it does to eradicate it, taking into account taxes for health costs and education.

For every additional dollar a parent is allotted to spend on food, the more likely they are to buy healthy food, adds Tracy.

In a noble effort to stamp out childhood hunger in America, the San Diego Hunger Coalition has collaborated with its sister national organization, Share our Strength for a gastronomic fundraiser, the 20th annual Taste of the Nation.

Slated for 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, the event will showcase bites and beverages from 50 of San Diego’s finest chefs and restaurants, wineries, brewers and distilleries, along with silent auctions and other entertaining activities.

Philanthropic purveyors include Alchemy, George’s California Modern Cuisine, Ironside Fish and Oyster, Leroy’s Kitchen, Marina Kitchen Restaurant and Bar, Odysea Lounge at the

Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Pacifica Del Mar, Pizzeria Mozza, Puesto and Searsucker.

As the cherry on top, VIP attendees can meet local culinary and Food Net-

work rock star, Melissa d’Arabian, the honorary chair of the event who has also graciously contributed this kid-friendly recipe you can whip up and enjoy at home.

Black Bean Brownies Reprinted from “Ten Dollar Dinners” by Melissa d’Arabian.

Black beans add a velvety texture and incredible moistness to these rich, chocolaty brownies. The best part is because of the grounding protein and fiber they sneak in, the brownies don’t send kids into a sugar rush after they eat them.

Makes 12 brownies

Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup cooked black beans 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 large eggs 1/4 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Photo by Ben Fink Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Method: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter and set aside. Place 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each until the chocolate is melted.

Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl, and set aside. Purée the beans with the oil in a blender. Add the eggs, cocoa, granulated sugar, coffee, vanilla and melted chocolate, and purée until smooth. Add the flour mixture and pulse just until incorporated. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until the surface is somewhat matte around the edges and still glossy in the center, about 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing into 12 squares. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve.
