SOUL charter school lands in Solana Beach BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District’s first charter school, the School of Universal Learning (SOUL), has finally found its home. SOUL will open for its first day of school on Aug. 29 at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Harper Branch in Solana Beach. Securing a facility had been founders Michael Grimes and Marisa Bruyneel-Fogelman’s biggest challenge and now that one has been locked down, it is finally feeling real. “It grounded everything and made it official,” said Grimes. “When the first student walks in the door it will be a culmination of all of our life’s work,” said Bruyneel-Fogelman, a Carmel Valley resident. “I’ll be

emotional. I’ve worked for that moment for a long time.” Grimes and Bruyneel-Fogelman said they believe strongly in supporting students in a positive environment and teaching to all parts of a student’s being, including social skills and personal development, and creating a connection to their passions and purpose so they are able to thrive holistically. Education at SOUL will include experience-based and project-based learning with required electives such as entrepreneurship and essential life skills. All of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and SEE SOUL, A26

Rooms in the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Harper Branch in Solana Beach will transform into classrooms for SOUL charter school.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Injured and sick wild squirrels and some types of birds will soon have a place to recover in North County. The Rancho Coastal Humane Society will open the San Diego Wildlife Center in the fall. The

center, which will be located in an industrial part of Carlsbad on Camino Vida Robles, will provide a space for North County residents to take injured seed-eating squirrels, songbirds and shorebirds, said John Van Zante, public relations director for the Rancho Coastal Humane

Society in Encinitas. The humane society has worked for several months to open the center, he said. It had to work with the state to get proper permitting and inspections. "You can't just decide to help wildlife one day and have it

17 tons of donated pet food delivered to Rancho Coastal Humane Society BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Thousands of needy animals will have full bellies soon thanks to a donation of 17 tons — or 34,400 pounds — of dog and cat food at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. Fourteen pallets of Special Kitty cat food and 21 pallets of Sam's Club dog food, which were carried on a big rig from Reno, were delivered to the Humane Society July 18 from the Rescue Bank, operated by GreaterGood.org. "What happens in situations like this is they'll get an overstock,” explained John Van Zante, public relations director at the Humane Society. “The food has a 'best by' date, but it's actually still good for a year after that. Those still won't sell in the stores. They trust us to distribute that food."

The food will then be given to registered, pre-approved San Diego County nonprofit animal rescue organizations, he said. Van Zante said in San Diego County alone there are more than 200 registered rescue groups. He said this is one of the largest donations in the center's 57-year history. He estimated the food will provide more than 100,000 meals for dogs and cats in San Diego and surrounding counties. "Last year, we had two shipments of 38,000 pounds each,” he said. “Those went to rescue groups in San Diego, Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties." The food is offered free of charge to the nonprofits, but the groups must pay 10 cents per

pound they're given to help with shipping costs. "Ten cents a pound might seem like a lot," Van Zante said. "If you figure a rescue will get six tons of food for about $115, that's a great price." Greg Westermeyer, a three-year volunteer with the Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego, was the first rescuer to arrive July 18. He patiently waited for the organization's chosen 1,200 pounds of dog food. He said the kibble he gathers will be distributed among the nonprofit's nearly 100 chihuahuas in foster and adoption care. "It's unfortunate that a lot of dogs are discarded," Westermeyer said. "This [donation] is helpful for people who are stressing out about how they're going to make their ends meet and feed their dog, which can be a family member.

Two area schools win grand prizes at media festival BY LAURA GROCH North County schools won two of the four Grand Prizes at the California Student Media Festival held recently at the Colburn School in Los Angeles.

We're grateful when this happens because the food goes a long way." Van Zante said he is happy the Humane Society can offer this food to the rescues, which mainly rely on donations. This food means more money for medical treatment, foster care, vaccinations, spaying, neutering and other operational costs, he noted. He said one of his favorite memories was two female rescuers driving away in vans full of dog food."You know what this means?" Van Zante recalled one of the ladies saying to the other. "This means we don't have to choose which dogs get to eat tonight. All of them do." For more information about the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and ways to donate, visit rchumanesociety.org.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 27, 2017 - PAGE A3

Female scientists share their breakthroughs at Salk lecture BY WILL BOWEN A full house of 300 or so (mostly women and mostly over age 30), sat in rapt attention straining to understand the panel of enthusiastic medical scientists who spoke at the “Women Innovators in Human Health: From Bench to Beside” conference July 11 in the Prebys Auditorium of the Salk Institute in La Jolla. “This lecture series started back in 2012 with just 30 people,” beamed Lisa Cashman, Salk Institute program developer. “We kept at it and now we have over 300 people here today. I’d say that’s quite a success story!” The host for the event was Rafaele Tordjiman, M.D., Ph.D., founder and chair of WITH (Women Innovating Together in Healthcare). Tordjiman said she was educated in clinical hematology and internal medicine in the hospitals of Paris, France. In 2001, she moved to the United States to take a position with Sofinnova Partners as a special adviser. “WITH is a network of accomplished women who have talent in industry, medicine, research, charity and finance,” Tordjiman explained. “The organization was established to inspire and support women working in the life sciences so they can reach their full potential and deliver innovative healthcare solutions for the benefit of patients worldwide.” Carol Gallagher, a doctor of Pharmacology with the venture capital firm of New Enterprise Associates, introduced each of the three lectures that comprised the conference. Gallagher described herself as an entrepreneur, investor and operator with more than 25 years of experience in commercial drug development, working with both large and small pharmaceutical companies. The first talk of the afternoon, titled “Discover, Innovation and Translation” was given by Michelle Booden, Ph.D., senior director in the Office of Technological Development at Salk. Booden explained the long and winding road of how basic medical research gets transformed into useable products that are then brought to the market for sale to the public. Booden said the key to successful drug development was, “sell the problem not the product.” The next speaker was Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., who discussed “Bringing precision medicine to patients.” Kurzrock is the director for the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center. Kurzrock said that she and her team design personalized strategies for treating patients with cancer. Rather than focusing on just giving patients a specific cancer drug, they try to create the best strategy of intervention using a customized combination of anti-cancer and immune-stimulating medicines. “We try to develop and test a strategy not a drug,” she said. To achieve this end, her team develops a comprehensive understanding of a patient, including a genetic profile. “We want to move from being drug-centric to being patient-centric,” she explained. “There are 300 different cancer drugs, meaning there are 45,000 possible ways to combine any two of these

Next up in the ‘Women in Science’ series ■ ‘Design and Discovery Fashion Showcase,’ 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the Salk Institute, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road. This promises to be a fun collaboration between Salk researchers and students from the Mesa College Design Program. The students will create and model fashions based on Salk science. Reserve a seat by contacting Betsy Collins at (858) 500-4883 or becollins@salk.edu 300 drugs and 4.5 million possible combinations of any three drugs. My job is to find the best combination.” Kurzrock says her patient-centered approach is necessary because “every tumor is unique ... every cancer can be thought of as a one-of-a-kind malignant snowflake. Basically, our goal is not so much to kill the cancer with a drug, but rather to get the patient’s own immune system working again so it can fight off the cancer as it is meant to do.” The final talk of the day was a joint venture involving Sheila Gujrathi, M.D., and Esther Martinborough, Ph.D. They took turns explaining the development of the drug Ozanimod, which is used to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Gujrathi is a physician executive, who worked for the company, Receptos, as its Chief Medical Officer from 2011 to 2015. She is currently an independent board director at Five Prime Therapeutics. Martinborough, who was educated at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the executive director of research at Receptos. They explained that MS is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body attacks itself. In this case, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which covers the nerves. Although there is no cure for MS, the drug Ozanimod reduces the symptoms by up 86 percent and has fewer side effects than its predecessor, a drug called Fingolimod, they said. The doctors also discovered that Ozanimod is helpful in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease. After the presentations all adjourned for a reception with refreshments. Larry Greenfield, M.D., a retired radiologist who used to work at St. Jude’s Hospital in Los Angeles, and his wife Carol, were in attendance at the conference. They said they started coming to the “Women in Science” series in 2013 and have been so impressed with the researchers that they decided to help support them. Also at the reception was JoLynn Clark, a registered nurse who works in the Medical Imaging at UC San Diego Health Care. Clark said she frequently attends Salk events because “the talks are always fabulous and have the latest information to help you make the best decisions about your health care. I highly recommend these events.”

Parking lot becomes salt marsh in Del Mar wetland restoration BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN A wetland restoration project near the Del Mar Fairgrounds has turned a former parking lot into a salt marsh, populated by shorebirds, fish and fiddler crabs. The $2.25 million project, next to the fairgrounds south of Jimmy Durante Boulevard, created 9.51 acres of coastal salt marsh and 1.67 acres of upland habitat, the transitional zone along the banks of the water. Officials marked the completion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday, July 15. Local wildlife didn’t wait for an invitation — they’ve already started taking advantage of the new wetland. On a recent morning an egret perched at the water’s edge, darting into the shallows to hunt small fish flitting among the eelgrass. Crabs scuttled on shore by the

hundreds. Animals drawn to the site make up a birder’s wish list. A 2016 bird count tallied multiple species of herons, cormorants, pelicans, hawks, plover, gnatcatchers, quail, and terns, among others. Along the edge, elevated platforms host osprey nests, where the fish-eating raptors perch. On the south side of the site is a strip of creamy white sand that’s identified as nesting habitat for least terns, an endangered, ground-nesting bird. There are no breeding pairs there now, but officials hope the improved habitat will prompt them to move in, said Dustin Fuller, supervising environmental planner for the fairgrounds. “It’s a challenge because creating habitat where it hasn’t been is always difficult,” he said.

Body-worn cameras get green light from Board of Supervisors The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved July 18 more than $1 million to equip Sheriff’s Deputies with body-worn cameras, according to a Sheriff’s Department press release. The Sheriff’s Department will officially roll out its body-worn camera program next month at the Alpine Sheriff’s Station and Ramona Sheriff’s Substation. From there, deputies countywide will receive the cameras within four to five months. During

that time, deputies will be trained on how to use the body-worn cameras, as well as preparing and fine tuning the infrastructure to support the technology. Sheriff Bill Gore says the body-worn cameras will help provide another perspective during use of force investigations. “Hopefully now with body-worn cameras, we’ll see what started the force. Was it appropriate force? Was it too much force? It’ll tell the story.” SEE CAMERAS, A26

Clews pleads guilty to possession, distribution of child pornography BY JOE TASH Christian Clews, owner of the Clews Horse Ranch in Carmel Valley, pleaded guilty to one count each of possessing and distributing child pornography in a San Diego federal courtroom on Tuesday, July 18. Clews, who was arrested and charged in December following an investigation by the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges. He remains free on $150,000 bond, and also is under house arrest and subject to electronic monitoring. The change in plea came after a plea agreement was reached with prosecutors, according to statements made Tuesday in the courtroom of Magistrate Judge Andrew Schopler. The 25-page plea agreement had not been released publicly as of press-time, and Schopler did not discuss the agreement’s details during the change-of-plea hearing. After the hearing, both prosecutor Janet Cabral and defense attorney Gina Tennen declined to comment. Sentencing before Judge Dana Sabraw was set for Oct. 19. Clews answered a series of questions posed by Schopler, who sought to ensure the defendant understood the particulars of the criminal charges, and that he had signed the plea agreement willingly. When asked what he pleaded to the charges, Clews said, “Guilty.” Schopler said that although the plea agreement

reached between the prosecution and defense provides sentencing recommendations, the judge “has an independent duty to determine sentence,” and is not bound by the terms of the plea agreement. The judge said that each count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, meaning that Clews could face a maximum of 40 years in custody. Schopler also noted that the distribution charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years. When asked if he understood the potential sentence he faces, Clews responded, “I do now.” If he is sentenced to prison, Clews would be subject to supervised release at the end of his term, and also required to register as a sex offender, Schopler said. At the July 18 hearing, Clews’ attendance at church services was also discussed. While Clews had been attending services up to three times per week at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church, he was only allowed to do so if he was accompanied by a church representative or other non-family member approved by court officials. However, in late June, an attorney for the Catholic Diocese of San Diego wrote to Schopler to say that the church would no longer provide a staff member to accompany Clews to church services. According to court documents, some church SEE CLEWS, A26

Fairbanks Ranch residents win medals in tennis at 20th World Maccabiah Games

RSF Review writers win more journalism awards

Fairbanks Ranch residents Judy and Larry Belinsky, along with Andy Harrison, recently returned from Israel where they won medals at the 20th Maccabiah Games. About 9,500 Jewish athletes from over 80 countries gathered at the third largest international sporting competition in the world. Athletes from 43 sports competed at the “Jewish Olympics” as they tested their skills in one of four Maccabiah divisions – Junior, Open, Masters and Paralympics. The Belinskys and Harrison all competed in Masters Tennis. Harrison won gold medals in both events he played – Masters 70 singles and Men’s 70 doubles. His division was contested on clay courts. It was his first trip to Israel and his first Maccabiah experience. Like Harrison, in her first Maccabiah Games, Judy Belinsky won gold in Women’s 60 singles and took bronze with her husband, Larry, in the combined 55/60 Mixed Doubles division.

New novel reimagines Lincoln’s fate against backdrop of the Kentucky Derby BY JOE TASH Ross Moore is a storyteller, educator and singer-songwriter. But he had no plans to put his ideas on paper in the form of a work of fiction. “There was nothing in my life that ever said I was going to write a novel,” said Moore, 61, a Solana Beach resident. But a light-hearted conversation he had with some colleagues nearly a decade ago, before the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, put the seed of an idea in his head. Fast-forward to May of 2017, when Moore published his first novel, “Third Monday in May,” a work of revisionist fiction in which the 16th president survived an assassination attempt by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington, and lived to attend the first running of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville in 1875. The book is meant to appeal to horse racing enthusiasts who want to learn a bit of history of the Kentucky Derby, as well as Lincoln fans who can’t get enough of Honest Abe, said Moore, and those who just enjoy a suspenseful tale. The latter element

comes in the form of a New Orleans gambler who sees Lincoln’s visit to Louisville as a chance to avenge the downfall of the Confederacy. The story also works in historical details about African-American jockeys in the thoroughbred industry, a personal passion for Moore. He said African-American jockeys won 15 of the first 30 Kentucky Derbies. Moore, who now works part-time at the Encinitas Library, had a wealth of information to draw on when he was writing his book. Before relocating to San Diego County from Kentucky in 2008, he worked as an educator at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville for 12 years. “It was the best job ever,” he said. His duties included putting together and teaching educational programs for students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. “Kids love horses,” he said. “We used the horses as the hook to teach math, science, history and economics,” he said. That made research for his book simple, he said. “The information was in my head.” Once he started thinking about the possibility of Lincoln surviving the assassination attempt and attending the first Kentucky Derby, another idea emerged: “What if there was a plot to kill him?” When Moore moved to San Diego with his wife, Susan, who is deputy director of the San Diego County Library, the Great Recession was in full swing and jobs were hard to come by. With time on his hands, Moore said, “I sat down and started to write this story.”

Author Ross Moore

COURTESY

One challenge, he said, was writing a fictional representation of Abraham Lincoln, a larger-than-life figure who is so embedded in the national consciousness. “If you’re writing about Lincoln you’ve kind of opened a can of worms,” Moore said. He felt somewhat presumptuous, he said, and didn’t want to offend Lincoln buffs. But he made a point of thinking about

Lincoln as a person rather than an icon. And although he was writing a revisionist historical novel, he tried to be as factual as possible, whether he was including details about Lincoln, the Derby or other elements of the book. The book ended up being somewhat of a family affair, as Moore turned to his brother, Larry W. Moore, to both edit and publish the novel. Larry, who runs a small publishing house called Broadstone Books, presented the book to his partners and they accepted it. Moore’s novel became the first work of fiction published by Broadstone, which had previously published poetry and non-fiction books, Moore said. In between the time Moore wrote his novel, in 2011, and when he began working with his brother on the editing, the manuscript sat on the shelf, Moore said, until he was inspired to dust it off after hearing a story on NPR about an author who made it big. “The fantasy was, if I put it out there, maybe something will happen,” he said. Moore plans to market and promote his book in the coming months, with one trip already planned for the Kentucky Book Fair in November. The book can be found at Broadstone, http://bit.ly/2tSgtJx or at Small Press Distribution, http://bit.ly/2vzeITu Moore, who also started an acoustic music showcase through the San Diego County Library, can be reached at ross_moore@bellsouth.net.

Giving back: RSF Rotary fills backpacks for military families BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary stuffed 74 new backpacks full of school supplies on Wednesday, July 19 for the Exceptional Family Member Program at Camp Pendleton. The program is for military families who have children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, blindness, cancer, spinal cord injuries and other physical and developmental challenges. “Military families are already facing some daunting challenges with low wages and big costs of living, but added to that, these families

are also trying to provide for their special needs children,” said RSF Rotarian Atusa Hangafarin. “The RSF Rotary supports our military and believes that we should be of service to the men and women who serve us.” Working together as a team before their weekly lunch meeting at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, Rotarians filled backpacks and later loaded up the car of an Exceptional Family Member Program representative who will take the backpacks to children in kindergarten through high school.

North County first responders receive threat recognition training BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than a dozen North County police officers, firefighters and other public safety officials gathered at the Veterans Association in Oceanside July 18 through July 20 to learn how to better protect themselves and be more aware in situations. Sentir Global — an intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and training organization — led the efforts to heighten the authorities' awareness. Lee Wakefield, CEO of Sentir Global, said this is a type of training the participants had not yet endured. It is offered for all North County first responders, including police officers, firefighters, border patrol officers and paramedics. "The reason we want first responders to have this knowledge is that in Syria, in Paris, in Brussels, in London... first responders are now becoming targets," he said. "We don't want firefighters and paramedics having tunnel vision without being able to look at a potential situation where they're going to become a victim." While he did not want to detail the lessons learned in the workshops, Wakefield said the trainings are especially important today, when people possess short attention spans and attachments to hand-held electronic devices. "We're looking at human behavior because we now have two generations of young people who have communicated with their thumbs on their phones instead of looking at human behavior and interpreting it," said Wakefield, retired in 1998 from the U.S.

targets of thefts, attacks or not being able to observe an attack and then report accurately what occurred. He added with the recent attacks in Paris and other events, as well as advancements in

technology, those working in public safety have to be on higher alert. Nearly 40 percent of the course is live scenario-driven events and analysis of videos and photos, Wakefield said. Participants were shown videos from real-life situations in which a tragedy might have been prevented had the officer known what signs to look out for. These included indicators — following human behavior-based predictive analysis — for situations where a person would harm themselves or others around them. "You have to think like the enemy," one instructor told the crowd. Tim Pruitt, an 11-year police officer with the Oceanside Police Department, said he was grateful training like this existed. He said minimal training of this kind is offered at his department. "We touch a little on that in the academy, but the academy is just basic stuff," Pruitt said. “This is definitely informative and stuff we don't talk about regularly.” He said he was most looking forward to learning cues that could signal potential trouble or dishonesty. Wakefield said Sentir Global is also planning to host similar workshops on threat recognition and situational awareness for local school districts and the general public this fall. More first responder trainings in North County will take place quarterly, Wakefield said. Those interested in more information can visit sentir.us or email Wakefield at lee@sentir.us.

CCA graduate named Bank of America Student Leader BY KAREN BILLING This summer over 200 standout high schools students were selected to participate in the Bank of America Student Leaders program. The program offers high school students who are engaged community citizens the opportunity to build their workforce and leadership skills through a paid summer internship at a local nonprofit, as well as attend a national leadership summit in Washington, D.C. Five students from San Diego were selected, including Alexander Zhang, a recent graduate of Canyon Crest Academy who will attend Columbia University in the fall. “Through Student Leaders, we’re building pathways to success for young adults in the region and giving voice to the next generation, who will help develop a more diverse and inclusive society,” said Rick Bregman, San Diego market president of Bank of America. “By engaging young people in meaningful and relevant work experiences that helps build resumes and manage paychecks, we can help advancing economic mobility.” Zhang and the rest of the students from San Diego were given a paid internship at 2-1-1 San Diego, a resource and information hub that connects people with community, health and disaster services. “We are thrilled to partner with Bank of America in the Student Leaders program,” said John Ohanian, 2-1-1 San Diego president and COO. “These extraordinary

high school students bring their passion for leadership to 2-1-1, helping us increase our impact while leveraging their distinct skills.” Zhang was one of 200 San Diego students to apply for the Student Leaders program. “I was looking for something to do this summer as last summer I worked in a lab and I wanted to keep my options open,” said Zhang. He was drawn to the Bank of America program for its community service aspect, as in his sophomore year, Zhang founded the Music Outreach Club, bringing classical music performances to nursing homes, hospitals and community events. In addition to his talents on the bassoon and piano, Zhang is also very science-minded and is proud of two research projects he has been involved with while at Canyon Crest Academy. Two years ago after his grandmother became ill with a blood disease, possibly myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), he wanted to learn more about the disease and contacted Dr. John Che, a local bioinformatics professor at UC San Diego. “Since then, we've developed a classification system using MDS patient data that could be used for personalized treatment, possibly improving the diagnostic rate from the current 50 percent to 80 percent, or even higher,” said Zhang, who was able to present the study as first author at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry’s international scientific

conference in Philadelphia last August. Last summer, Zhang was selected as a full-time intern at The Scripps Research Institute, sponsored by the Life Sciences Summer Institute. He spent seven weeks focused on developing a vaccine for Dengue fever. He was invited to present his findings at several regional conferences.

After visiting family in China this summer, Zhang has been at the 2-1-1 internship for the last two weeks. The interns’ project for the summer is to create a youth ambassador program, targeting youth in the community to make them more aware of the services 2-1-1 provides as well as create volunteer activities for students. “We hope to target the special needs of students at each school and emphasize how 2-1-1 can help alleviate some of those problems,” Zhang said. At 2-1-1, he has seen how a nonprofit runs from top to bottom, which he says will help him at Columbia University where he hopes to continue his community service efforts with Music Outreach. On July 9-14, Zhang traveled to Washington, D.C. for the Bank of America’s Student Leadership Summit along with the leaders from across the country. They were able to attend multiple seminars with a variety of speakers, including Barbara Bush, the co-founder of the Global Health Corps. The seminars focused on issues of politics, social work and nonprofits, and the leaders also had the opportunity to visit local representatives on Capitol Hill. The San Diego group was able to speak with Congresswoman Susan Davis from the 53rd congressional district. “I really enjoyed Congresswoman Davis. She asked a lot of questions about college and higher education for students,” Zhang said. “She really took the time to listen to us SEE BOA, A26

Lytle helps San Dieguito Synchro swim club shine at Junior Olympics BY GIDEON RUBIN Grace Lytle is gaining national recognition in a sport few in northern San Diego County know much about. When she brings it up, the typical response is “I didn’t even know that was a thing out here,” Lytle said. Synchronized swimming is very much a thing out here. Lytle is among 40 or so members of a local club team that’s literally venturing into unchartered waters. San Dieguito Synchro swim club sent 16 northern San Diego County athletes to this year’s Junior Olympics, all of whom made the finals for the first time in club history. Danielle Coggburn took over the Northern San Diego County’s club six years ago. The club was founded in 2004. Lytle, who’ll be a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy this fall, and Olivia Dalry (Cathedral Catholic High School) placed 11th in the intensely competitive 13-to 15-year-olds duets competition. Sixteen-to 17-year-old duets

Samantha Whitley and Mari Burigana (La Costa Canyon) placed 10th. Lytle and Dalry were among five local athletes who were part of a 15-to-19-year-old combo team that placed eighth. Phoebe and Lily Kreps (both of San Dieguito Academy) and Joanne Wang (Santa Fe Christian) were the other members of the team. Rose Bonhome and Kylie Hayasse (both of CCA) and Jamie Xiao, (Santa Fe Christian) were part of a 16-and 17-year-old team that placed 10th. Alexandra Suarez left Cathedral Catholic after her junior year to train with the Team USA in Moraga (Contra Costa County). Suarez and Lytle are among three club members who were invited to compete with the national team. Lytle is the club’s youngest swimmer and has tremendous upside, Coggburn said. “She’s the youngest girl on the team but she’s the hardest working and I would say one of my top kids.” Coggburn said. Lytle credits the club with

Synchronized swimmer Grace Lytle bringing the sport to an area that until relatively recently offered athletes no outlets. The only other club in San Diego County is in Chula Vista. “If I wasn’t in my club,” she said, “I would’ve never found this sport.” Coggburn said she’s committed to helping local residents find the sport. Coggburn was once a rising star. She was training with Team USA in Santa Clara when she

suffered a career-ending shoulder injury. She moved to the San Diego to complete her education, earning a master’s degree in special education at San Diego State University. But she could never shake her love for a sport she started competing in when she was 10 growing up in Seattle. “I think it’s a such a unique sport, people really don’t really know much about it,” Coggburn

MINDY SUAREZ

said. “It’s kind of like one of the things that you see in the Olympics every four years maybe. It’s a niche sport.” Lytle started synchronized swimming when she was 6. She prides herself for taking on an ambassadorship role. “I’ve always felt a lot of pride in my sport because it really isn’t something you see all over the place,” Lytle said. “People see it in the Olympics and they see it as SEE SWIMMER, A26

Accelerate wins Grade II, $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap

KELLEY CARLSON

BY KELLEY CARLSON Victor Espinoza celebrates aboard Accelerate (left) after defeating the world’s top-ranked racehorse, Arrogate, in the Grade II, $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap on Saturday, July 22 at Del Mar. Accelerate covered the 1 1/16 miles on the dirt in 1:42.15, 8 1/2 lengths clear of runner-up Donworth. Cat Burglar was 2 1/2 lengths farther back in third. Arrogate – who had won seven consecutive races and more than $17 million – struggled home fourth, 15 1/4 lengths behind Accelerate. “I think he (Arrogate) just laid an egg,” trainer Bob Baffer said. “I don’t think it had anything to do with the track. He was just flat.” Accelerate’s trainer, John Sadler, noted that his horse trained really well the previous weekend at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.

“You want to win, you don’t want to concede anything, but I’m surprised we won because Arrogate is the best horse in the world,” he said. “A couple of things went right for us, and one of them was that Arrogate didn’t fire his best. That’s what has to happen for these big upsets.” The 4-year-old Accelerate is owned by Hronis Racing. Also on Saturday, Hunt outfinished Ashleyluvssugar in the Grade II, $250,000 Eddie Read Stakes. The winner is owned by Michael House of Rancho Santa Fe. Other horses who notched stakes victories during the past week include Madam Lancelot (Grade II, $200,000 San Clemente Handicap), Bowies Hero ($117,900 Oceanside Stakes) and Madame Stripes ($82,775 Osunitas Stakes) and Blackjackcat ($79,190 Wickerr Stakes).

Del Mar Opening Day Hats Contest The 23rd annual Opening Day Hats Contest at Del Mar, presented by Valenti International, drew more than 300 contestants. Categories included Most Glamorous, Best Fascinator, Best Flowers, Best Race Track Theme and Most Outrageous. Contestants competed for more than $5,000 in cash and prizes. (See event photos, page B10.) The Grand Prize winner was Christina Stutz of San Diego who competed in the Most Outrageous category. Christina won a Fairmont Grand Del Mar one-night stay and dinner for two at Addison Restaurant, featuring Chef William Bradley’s multi-course tasting menu with wine pairings valued at $1,000. She also received $300 cash and a Studio Savvy gift basket valued at $250. Stutz delighted Del Mar race fans with a grand scale presentation topped with an elegant life-sized horse enthusiast in a lovely hat of her own. The race fan topper carried an authentic 1948 vintage Del Mar Racing Program with betting slips. Stutz, whose hat took two months SEE HATS, A26

For the birds Local resident offers tips on birdwatching in RSF BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild’s monthly Coffee and Conversation series attracted a flock of both fledgling and experienced bird watchers on July 20 who were interested in learning more about Rancho Santa Fe’s local feathered friends. Rancho Santa Fe’s Sandy Yayanos, who has a master’s degree in botany and taught AP biology at Torrey Pines High School for almost 30 years, shared seeds of knowledge about what local residents will see in their own backyards or out stomping farther afield. “Go birding, whether you’re sitting in your garden or out on the trails or out in some exotic place,” said Yayanos, who shared scenes from her own exotic birding adventure in Botswana among many photos of local birds taken by her husband Art, president of the RSF Library Guild board. Yayanos said beginning birders can start out by learning about the most common birds in the area and build a knowledge base from there, taking cues from free apps such as eBird, Merlin and Audubon Birds. Rancho Santa Fe is home to the “gorgeous” black-headed grosbeck and the spotted towhee is the most popular sparrow. The song sparrow is the “lovely voice you will find in your garden” and the American Pipit is often seen on the golf course. Red Tail Hawks are also common in the Ranch, “you hear these guys all the time, they make a sound like someone is pulling out their tail feathers,” Yayanos said. If people look a little harder, Yayanos said one

If they’re really lucky they might spot a dark-eyed junco in the winter. One of her best “surprise” bird sightings was on Christmas Day near the golf course when she spotted two common mergansers. To attract birds to the home, Yayanos said it’s important to have a water source, food source and nesting source. Yayanos suggested a variety of bird feeders from hummingbird feeders to owl boxes and places for birds to nest — one of the most popular places in her gardens is a gourd she put out. She said to plant native things for bedding and food sources such as toyon, rosemary or

manzanita. Experience will help inform what the wildlife is attracted to. “Wrentits are my favorite bird. I’ve learned that they like peanuts,” said Yayanos, noting that you will hear the bird’s rattling call more than you will see them as they are often hidden away in the brush. Yayanos said her backyard water feature is the “gem” of her garden, luring many different birds to her yard, including once a flock of 14 cedar waxwings. She’s even spotted a Cooper’s hawk going for a splash in her bird bath. Yayanos encouraged birders to keep records if they can, “you are being a citizen scientist.” She said the app eBird is a useful resource for keeping

She also encouraged people to take advantage of free local birding walks with organizations such as the Buena Vista Audubon Society, San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the Escondido Creek Conservancy. “The best way you learn is by going out and birding with somebody,” Yayanos said. Coffee and Conversation is presented by the RSF Library Guild on the third Thursday of every month on a wide range of informative topics. The series is sponsored by Deana Ingalls of Carter Financial.

Local athlete Chris White headed to Junior Olympics Del Mar resident Chris White is heading to the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics in Lawrence, Kansas. Chris, who is an incoming sophomore at The Grauer School, recently took first place in the javelin for 15/16-year-old boys at the USATF Region 15 Qualifier meet in Escondido, where he competed with the best athletes in track and field from Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego and Southern California. His throw of 45.81 meters qualifies him to throw at the Junior Olympics against the best throwers in the nation. Chris has been throwing the javelin since he

was introduced to the sport in elementary school at a Track and Field Camp held each summer by Del Mar Union School District PE teacher Ian Philip. While javelin is not a sport in high school in Southern California, Chris has found throwing opportunities through local track clubs. Chris recently won the javelin throw for 15/16-year-old boys at the California State Games with his best throw of the season (46.38 meters), as well as the AAU Region 23 meet held in late June. This will be Chris’s fourth trip to the Olympics throwing the javelin.

RSF Rotary Club announces title sponsor for 5th Annual Taste of RSF The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club recently announced that Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty is this year’s title sponsor of the 5th Annual Taste of Rancho Santa Fe. “We are so pleased that Pacific Sotheby’s has joined us as title sponsor and grateful for their support, “said RSF resident Lauren Reynolds, founder of At Home Nursing Care. She, along with Rotary President Luis Carranza, senior mortgage advisor of the Carranza Group at PrimeLending, are co-chairs of the 2017 Taste of Rancho Santa Fe. With 20 wineries, distilleries and

breweries already committed, this year’s community event is shaping up to be even bigger and better than last year’s successful Taste, which sold 465 tickets and raised $100,000. The goal this year is to raise $150,000. In addition to Pacific Sotheby’s contribution as $10,000 Title Sponsor, the club received another $5,000 Magnum contribution from a local RSF Rotarian who wished to remain anonymous. Other sponsors include At Home Nursing Care, Kordus Farms, Rescue Express, Bob and Kaaren Bergquist, Hoehn Jaguar-Land Rover, Jere Oren, PM Graphics & Design and DPI Printing.

Organized by a dozen Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club members who volunteer their time, talent and energy, the event will take place this year on Sunday, Oct. 1, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the grounds of The Inn of Rancho Santa Fe. In addition to wines and spirits, the event will feature food and entertainment. Tickets are on sale now, priced at $100 until Sept. 15 when the price goes up to $125. All net proceeds benefit local nonprofit organizations. “We have 10 designated nonprofit beneficiaries named this year who are helping to promote the event, including selling tickets, soliciting auction items and volunteering at the event,” Reynolds said. “It’s fun to collaborate and spread the work among all of those who will benefit.” Rotary President Luis Carranza has pledged to hold more social events at local venues, such as The Inn, which have been long time supporters of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club.

“Our next Rotary meeting will be a social at The Inn. We couldn’t do this event without their donation of the grounds, their staff and their marketing support. To have a partner in The Inn for the last three years has been a wonderful example of community-minded service,” Reynolds said. The event, which started as a small wine festival in 2012, has grown each year. Volunteers are putting extra effort into better organization this year, including a completely revamped website at tasteofrsf.org that highlight participants, donors and beneficiaries. “The website is a major improvement. We are highlighting our wineries, restaurants and sponsors prominently as an incentive to be annual participants for this event – and it’s working,” Reynolds said. To buy tickets or learn more about participating as a sponsor, winery, restaurant or auction item donor, including forms, go to the website at www.tasteofrsf.org or email tasteofrsf@gmail.com.

FROM WILDLIFE, A1 encouraged to take it to the Wildlife Center, where medical professionals would determine the extent of the injury. If the animal is treatable, it will get treatments and medications and stay there until it is stabilized. Once it is stabilized and recovering, the animal will be transferred to a barn at Rancho Coastal Humane Society to continue its trip back to health until it can be released back into the wild. Van Zante said wild animals play a huge role in North County, and used to be even more prominent in the area. "This is kind of a return to our roots," he said of the importance of the Wildlife Center. "When Rancho Coastal opened in 1960, there was a dirt path behind the shelter we now know as the I-5 Freeway. There would be all these foxes, sea lions, raccoons, possums, skunks and other animals in the area. So, when the shelter started there was a lot of wildlife in this area." As Encinitas grew, the majority of the animals migrated east, but some animals still linger around the city, he noted. It is important to note that animals don't live in the humans' community; the humans live in theirs, Van Zante said. "In Coastal North County, there is a lot of wildlife," he said. "Anywhere you are in San Diego County, you are surrounded by wildlife. What we want to do is make it so people in this part of the county — who find sick or injured wildlife — have a place to go where it's closer and easier for them to take action. Every animal deserves a tomorrow." For more information about the Wildlife Center and to donate, visit sdpets.org.

EDUARDO CONTRERAS

To the left of this walkway is the newly restored wetlands area in Del Mar near the race track where a parking lot used to be. FROM WETLAND, A4 The wetland project also completes a key segment of the “Coast to Crest” trail, which starts at Volcan Mountain near Julian, and will end at the beach at Del Mar. The 71-mile trail will accommodate hikers, horses and bicycles and traverse wetlands, chaparral, open meadows and dense forest. In Del Mar, it winds around the north side of the new wetlands, and will eventually cross to the shoreline, Fuller said. A decomposed granite trail winds around the north side of the wetland, while the former boardwalk has been fashioned into an outlook with a view of the marsh. That was a compromise between local trail advocates’ desire to preserve the structure, and the Coastal Commission’s order to remove the boardwalk to make way for wetland, Fuller said. The site is stark and muddy now, but officials plan to begin the next phase — planting native vegetation — after September, to avoid summer heat that could kill the plants, Fuller said. Different varieties of sunflower, saltbush, sagebrush

and poppies will eventually spread across the site. Although many of the plants are salt-resistant, officials had to adjust the soil mixture to allow tidal water to drain properly and keep the site from becoming too salty, he said. Workers were recently installing irrigation lines, but within five years, they hope the habitat will be self-sustaining. “I’m optimistic this will take care of itself,” Fuller said. The fairgrounds team carved the wetland out of the former parking lot after reaching an agreement with the Coastal Commission that allowed them to keep using the overflow parking east of the fairgrounds in exchange for restoring the marsh habitat, Fuller said. Workers excavated 72,000 cubic yards of soil in order to dig out channels where tidal flows inundate the site and then retreat, creating habitat that’s a nursery for fish, birds and other species. They used some of that soil to elevate the trail and create berms between the trail and road, and disposed of the rest at a landfill, he said. – Deborah Sullivan Brennan is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM SOUL, A1 Smarter Balanced Assessment tests like all public schools. A typical day will also include their unique “Integra” program in which students participate in a morning meditation, a midday focus on self-development and an end-of-the-day reflection session. Together, Bruyneel-Fogelman and Grimes have been working on their vision for SOUL for the last six years. As the opening of SOUL represents a dream come true, it will be hard to keep the two educators out of the classroom. Both hope to take part in teaching life skills or entrepreneurship classes and the plan is for one of them to be in the classroom connecting with students while one is in the office. It has been a long, six-month search to find a place for the school to call home. The San Diego County Board of Education approved the charter school in January for a two-year term and SOUL just signed the lease in Solana Beach on July 17. They had been targeting Encinitas for SOUL’s campus and ruled out several commercial locations due to lengthy permitting and zoning processes and lots of red tape. They also

Mollie Cameron of San Diego, who won the Best Fascinator category, wore an incredibly architected fascinator design that was stunningly simplistic and sculpted out of a

FROM CLEWS, A4 members and parents from Notre Dame Academy, a Catholic school adjacent to the church, were concerned about Clews’ proximity to children while attending church services. At the July 18 hearing, Tennen, Clews’ attorney, said Clews was requesting permission to attend three other churches in the area which are not next to schools. His attorney said the requirement that Clews be monitored during worship amounted to a violation of his constitutional rights of freedom of religion. Schopler agreed to relax one condition allowing a family member to serve as Clews’ monitor - but he declined to remove the condition entirely. While there are no schools next to the churches Clews wants to attend, said the judge, “Children still attend churches everywhere.” “I’m trying to meet (Clews) halfway, but I have to maintain the safety of the community,”

FROM CAMERAS, A4 The Sheriff’s Department has been working on implementing body-worn cameras in its law enforcement operations for several years. In August 2014, a Sheriff’s Committee was established to explore the suitability and feasibility of body-worn cameras. The committee was made up of representatives from the Sheriff’s Data Services Division, Training Unit, Contracts Division, Patrol and Detentions. The Sheriff’s Body-Worn Camera Committee met with law enforcement agencies from across the United States, including several in San Diego County, to get their feedback on their respective experiences

considered several churches, nearly every church in the district up to Carlsbad. Grimes and Bruyneel-Fogelman said that after visiting the Boys & Girls Clubs and meeting with Andrew Brosche, the chief operating officer, they found a perfect match. “He said, ‘We love kids here’ and we knew, finally, this is a go,” Grimes said. “They’re so excited for us to be there and we really couldn’t be happier.” “It’s such a beautiful partnership because we’re so aligned in our mission to serve youth,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said. At the Boys & Girls Clubs Harper Branch in Solana Beach, SOUL will be utilizing rooms that previously sat unused all day and also will be able to take advantage of the club’s “wonderful” outdoor spaces, such as the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle’s garden. The rooms have a maximum capacity for 125 students so the only downfall is that the club won’t work as a long-term location, meaning SOUL is still on the journey toward a permanent home. Once SOUL gets 80 students from the San Dieguito Union High School District, the district is required by Prop 39 to provide classroom space. SOUL will have to petition for the rooms single sheet of paper. The winner in the Most Glamorous category, Lauren Donahue from San Diego, was dressed in a beautiful vintage lace dress and hand-made hatinator in beautiful fruit with flowers and ostrich feathers. And rounding out the field of winners in the category of Best Racing Theme, Lauren Jenkins donned a full size surfer wave, with horse race and aquarium atop a surf board themed “Where the Turf Meets The Surf.”

Schopler said. Clews is a former long-time member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group. He stepped down from his seat last November. According to a complaint filed in federal district court in December, agents executed a search warrant at the Clews Horse Ranch, which includes the family’s home, on Oct. 28, following a two-year investigation related to possession and distribution of child pornography. During the search, investigators seized several electronic devices from Clews and his residence, which contained numerous child pornography image and video files, said the complaint. The court document said Clews admitted on Oct. 28 to possessing and distributing child pornography. The horse ranch, which is located at 11500 Clews Ranch Road in Carmel Valley, was established in 1992, and offers such services as horse boarding, breeding and riding lessons. with the technology. The Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) was consulted for their assistance and insight in helping determine how body-worn cameras could best serve the Sheriff’s Department and the community. The department also met with members of the public to get their input on proposed policies and procedures. In February 2016, the Sheriff’s Department unveiled a 90-day pilot program at select stations and facilities to try out body worn cameras from three different companies. The data collected and experience gained during the pilot program was valuable in determining how the Sheriff’s Department wanted its final body-worn camera program to operate, according to the press release.

by Nov. 1. “Our long-time goal is to build our own facility, and hopefully that happens sooner rather than later,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said. Enrollment has been guided by word of mouth and SOUL currently has 50 students — SOUL is limited by its petition to the 7th and 9th grades in the first year. The second year SOUL will offer 7-10th grade, 11th grade in the third year and 12th grade in the fourth. By full build-out, they would like to have 100 students per grade. “We feel like it’s a school that will sell itself,” Grimes said. “Once more people hear about it, I know our enrollment will fill up.” Over the last several weeks they have been holding planning sessions with their “incredible” staff as educators are coming together from all over to be a part of SOUL. They have scored a math teacher who spent several years teaching in Columbia, an English teacher was the “Teacher of the Year” for the state of Arizona and a science teacher taught who has taught in Singapore and Chile and developed curriculum for young adult entrepreneurs in Uganda. The art teacher, Justin Moodie, grew up in the San Dieguito district and attended Earl Warren and Torrey Pines. He began his career

teaching at Canyon Crest Academy and Carmel Valley Middle School and is coming to SOUL from the Bay Area where he just earned his administrative services credential from the Principal Leadership Institute at UC Berkeley. SOUL will also be holding a “SOULbration Benefit” on Saturday, Aug. 5 at the Boys & Girls Clubs Harper Branch in Solana Beach from 6-10 p.m. (address:533 Lomas Santa Fe Solana Beach, 92075). The event will feature live music, food and drinks, a silent auction and a raffle to celebrate the school’s accomplishments and coming school year. Visit bit.ly/2eGj3jP At the benefit, SOUL will also launch its crowdfunding effort “Project 1:Be the SOULution,” which will help raise funds for the school to implement all of its innovative programs. “We’re not just a school, we’re a movement to create a new model of education,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said, noting every dollar counts. “Everyone has $1 to help support the transformation of education. There are so many discussions about education reform and all of the problems. We want to be the solution.” To learn more about SOUL, visit soulcharterschool.org

her Plan B. She recently went to a camp where coaches encouraged swimmers to manage their anxiety by going into “robot mode.” “It’s like, if you feel like you can’t do it, you just have to switch onto this mode where you know what you have to do and you just perform the way you’ve been training,” Lytle said. She’ll have to turn to her human instincts, however, balancing the competing demands of her sport, academics and other endeavors. “It can get quite stressful at times,” Lytle said, “but I feel that because I was brought in at such a young age and I’ve sort of grown up with it, I’ve learned to balance my schedule. “I’m an early riser so I get stuff done in the morning before school and then I come home and I do my homework, but it’ll be different in high school because I’ll have more work.” For more information, visit sdsynchro.org

a pretty sport and they’re like ‘Oh maybe it shouldn’t really be considered a sport,’ but I want people see the effort and the amount of training that we go through.” The training synchronized swimmers do to excel at their sport includes ballet, palates, stretching and strength training. “There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes that you don’t see,” Lytle said. “I want people to know that we work really, really hard.” Lytle also works really hard on the mental side of her craft. She believes calming down her nerves before competitions is at least as tough as the physical part of competing. “I feel that because I’m surrounded by my friends, people who’ve been in my life that I feel like I can lean on, that helps, but I definitely do get really, really nervous for competitions, Lytle said. “It’s stressful for sure.” When that doesn’t work, she turns to

FROM BOA, A11 and what we thought.” Zhang said it was very meaningful to meet his fellow student leaders, all from very different backgrounds but all sharing a similar mindset of being passionate about helping their communities. “Being in San Diego, I feel sheltered from a lot of the problems others face and like I’m living in a bubble,” Zhang said. “I found that people from other states have a lot of different problems in their communities that I am not familiar with, things I’ve heard about but never known. To talk to someone who was familiar with those kinds of problems, that was really eye-opening.” For Zhang, one of the most powerful messages he got from the summit was from guest speaker Omerina Cabrera. Cabrera grew up in Bronx, New York, with a single parent, experiencing homelessness three times. She and her twin brother struggled to stay in school and she was on track to drop out until she found a counselor and mentor that changed her life. The mentor cared and encouraged

Omerina to pursue a better future, helping her get placed in an elite New England private school. She is now going to George Washington University. Unfortunately, her twin brother did not have the same support — he is now incarcerated, showing how much of a difference it made for someone to encourage and guide her. “It was very inspiring to me because education is something I’ve taken for granted,” Zhang said. “It’s powerful to see she has succeeded.” While Zhang did not apply for a specific major at Columbia, he is interested in chemistry and would like to be on the pre-med track and plans to attend medical school after he graduates. The experience in Washington, D.C. helped him learn a lot more about healthcare and global health in general. When he gets to medical school he is interested in pursuing the field of public health or traveling to third world countries to participate in global health service projects. “I’m interested in using the idea of science and its knowledge to positively change the world,” Zhang said.

Electrifying Guitars

Book to reveal the secret life of guitar creator Leo Fender BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN There are many people who claim the title “inventor of the electric guitar,” but perhaps the one whose name has percolated the most on the local, national and international level is Leo Fender. Now his wife Phyllis Fender and Randall Bell, the son of one of his employees, are publishing a book to shed some light on the myths that chased the man throughout his life and beyond. “Everybody who was aware of Leo thought of him as this silent man, who all he did was work,” Phyllis began, “which in a way was true, he was a workaholic, but when he married me, he became a husband, a stepfather, a grandfather, a son in law, an uncle … he was surrounded by people. And these people he just loved.” Phyllis said Leo had never been around babies in his life before their partnership started in the late 1970s. “He was astounded at children, and we had such happy time. (During family meetings) he was always talking and laughing, and I wanted the world to know that inside this silent giant, there was a man who appreciated family, dinners, playing and watching the kids swimming in the pool.” Though the book “Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World,” will be released Nov. 1, hardcover copies are available for pre-order at amzn.to/2pyi34i “I can hardly wait to see it on the market,” Phyllis told La Jolla Light. Randall’s father worked for Fender, and he grew up close to the guitar creator’s work. “I

Randall Bell and Phyllis Fender grew up with all things Fender, my parents’ kitchen table was made by Stratocaster wood, and my dad introduced me to every person at the factory!” he said. The making of the book happened at a pie shop near where Bell’s parents and the Fenders lived. “I would take out my smartphone and ask Mrs. Fender questions and she kept me fascinated with the answers … I did some research but that’s how the book came together,” he explained. The plot is, essentially, about Leo, Phyllis

‘Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World’ will be released Nov. 1. said, “Every page has a piece of Leo on it.” Bell elaborated, “It starts with the day he was born, goes to the chronology of how he invented the electric guitar, and it ends with his passing away in the Fender home. There are stories that make you laugh hysterically, others make you cry … he was an interesting guy who never

took himself very seriously.” One of the key stories in Leo’s life is how he designed and built electric guitars that would eventually become the widely used Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster. “At the time he thought about making guitars, he had a radio shop downtown where he repaired anything electrical,” Phyllis said. “This was during World War II when the communities around here had ‘war bond’ dances. Some people asked Leo to put something up with amplifiers so they could have a dance and set it up for the band, which he did. But one time, as he was finishing his work, he decided to sit by the band and listen to them. Watching the band, he observed some guitar players playing like crazy, but he couldn’t hear anything, he couldn’t hear them over the horns, drums and bass. That touched his heart and immediately, the next day, he got a piece of wood out and started designing what would eventually become the Stratocaster and Telecaster.” Bell added, “There were the standard acoustic guitars people were trying to amplify, but it wasn’t working very well. Leo got the idea and put a pickup on a solid body guitar, when you think of guitars today, you think of the solid bodies … this was far more functional than trying to electrify the acoustic guitar.” When asked what Leo might think about the new book, Phyllis replied, “He would be surprised and he would say ‘that’s not about me, none of this has ever been about me, it’s only been about the instruments.’ ”

The Curious Fork gluten-free restaurant and bakery features healthy fare and cooking techniques

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KELLEY CARLSON For people seeking a taste of the gluten-free lifestyle, The Curious Fork can help satisfy that craving. The restaurant and bakery has been promoting healthy fare and cooking techniques to Solana Beach and nearby communities since 2014. “I believe to experience (life), you need to continue to learn and you have to remain curious,” owner Barbara McQuiston said about the philosophy behind the Barbara establishment’s moniker. McQuiston exemplifies that McQuiston idea, as she left a 35-year career in the defense and aerospace industry to explore her passion for food. She attended the San Diego Culinary Institute, interned at L’Auberge in Del Mar, and invested her life savings to start The Curious Fork. Because McQuiston is affected by celiac disease – a digestive and autoimmune disorder – it was natural for her to focus on gluten-free fare and beverages.

She describes her menu as a “unique selection.” Breakfast is served all day in the restaurant, and consists of items such as Chicken and Waffles and the Classic Breakfast – two eggs with chives, hash browns, toasted English muffin and a choice of bacon, ham, chicken sausage or avocado. For lunch, there are soups, salads and sandwiches. Crowd favorites include the Carnitas Cuban Sandwich (slow-cooked pork butt, ham, Swiss, dill pickles, aioli and dijon) and the Turkey Avo Sandwich with tomato, lettuce, provolone, aioli and dijon, both served on baguettes. There’s also a bakery area that houses a range of treats – from pies to quinoa loafs and challa – and customers can order items such as cakes and breads. Baked goods from The Curious Fork are also sold at Seaside Market and Harvest Ranch Markets, and “we hope to be in Jimbo’s very soon,” McQuiston said. She is currently in talks with other grocery chains. Catering is available, as well – patrons can select trays or make reservations for parties in the restaurant. Additionally, people can sign up for farmers market box pickups from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Cooking classes are held weekday evenings and weekends at The Curious Fork. Fridays. The boxes – from Garden of Eden Organics – contain everything from vegetables and grains to citrus and herbs. “Everything is locally grown and harvested,” McQuiston said. One Thursday a month, she teaches a one-hour class that uses all the ingredients from one of these boxes, and the contents vary – she doesn’t know what she’s working with until the night before or the morning of the class. “It’s very much a surprise class,” she said with a laugh. Those who participate in the Garden of Eden Organics farmers market box pickup can also pick up their box Thursday night at the class. McQuiston and her staff present other cooking classes, as well, and topics range from vegan and seasonal to family offerings. Even children can get in on the action, with themed events such as Cupcake Wars and Harry Potter. “Kids really get into cooking now, which is great,” McQuiston said. “It’s wonderful to see the

kids all excited. I love teaching them different things and showing them how to eat healthy.” The classes average about two hours, held on weekday evenings and weekends, and the cost usually falls between $30 and $60 per class. Some of them are hands-on, and others are demonstrations. “But at all of them, you get to eat and enjoy the food,” McQuiston noted. The class calendar is available at www.thecuriousfork.com/collections/classes. To further aid with food preparation, The Curious Fork sells cookbooks, and there are fair trade items available for purchase that are “fun, artistic and beautiful,” McQuiston touted. Meanwhile, she is making plans for the future, such as the launch of wine tastings and small plates. The Curious Fork – at 512 Via de la Valle, Suite 102, in Solana Beach – is open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Encinitas signs off on conservatory project at Botanic Garden The Dickinson Family Education Conservatory project at San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas has taken a huge step forward. Final permitting was recently obtained by the Garden from the City of Encinitas for the 8,232-square-foot facility set in the nationally-acclaimed Hamilton Children’s Garden. Now that permitting has been granted, it paves the way for the greenhouse-like structure designed by Deforche/Green House Works to be erected. This unique building, that is being created and shipped overseas from Belgium, is scheduled to be delivered to the Garden this September. Among the unique plants being acquired for the Conservatory are

two species of Anthuriums considered to be royalty of the plant kingdom and often referred to as the King and Queen of this family of plants that are emblematic of the tropical forest canopy. The Garden expects to receive several specimens of both the King and Queen Anthuriums along with eight other species of rare plants cultivated and shipped from Ecuador later this month. These rare plants from Ecuador, and literally hundreds of other species, are being acquired from botanic gardens across the United States to adorn the Conservatory’s 14-foot diameter “plant chandeliers” creating suspended islands of exotic plants that will be reminiscent of the of the floating islands in the movie “Avatar.”

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 27, 2017 - PAGE B7

In her first two children’s books, TPHS alum weaves big lessons into little rhymes BY SEBASTIAN MONTES A funny thing happened as Danielle Chammas was finishing up her first two children’s books. She had conjured the rhyming verses and dotingly crafted every accompanying illustration, girding each page with lessons on finding self-worth and the hard task of embracing mistakes. The painstaking work had thrust her, finally, onto the precipice of living up to promises she had held her whole life long. And then: paralyzing panic. “I had every insecurity you could think of — What if people don’t like them? What if they get a bad review? — and I caught myself and thought wow, Dani, if your goal is that people’s confidence should come from within, that they shouldn’t be so scared of mistakes that they can’t live their lives, then you have to embody it, too. So I just put these books out there and haven’t looked back.” What came out were two books for the first-time author, a Del Mar native and Torrey Pines High School alum who practices psychiatry and palliative care in the Bay Area. Her days at TPHS had been filled with writing and drawing and all manner of creative pursuits, but eventually she settled on keeping those passions as a hobby. Dreams of making a children’s book never truly diminished, though, and eventually her end-of-life work coupled with the birth of her daughter two years ago stoked that long-simmering fire. “There comes a point where you see so many young people die before they could get around to doing x y, z, and it just hit me, what am I doing, I’m the same age as these people, life is too short to keep my bucket list in the background,” she said. “Something got lit under me. The juxtaposition of having a young kid and watching young people die made me realize, ‘There’s no time to waste, this is your life, do it now.’”

COURTESY PHOTOS

The cover of “A Wish From a Fish” by Danielle Chammas. Her little books tackle the biggest of themes, delivering messages as useful for young minds thrust headlong into a social media world as they are for the parents trying to help them navigate it. The growing plague where value is coming from the outside, basing their self-esteem on SAT scores and what colleges they get into — external things rather than internal valuing hard work. “We’re seeing in today’s society that there’s just so much pressure and so many of our youth are growing up struggling with self-esteem and anxiety and perfectionism, and it haunts them into adulthood,” she said. “I just want my daughter and every kid to be able to flip that around so they can walk through life feeling good from the inside about who they are, because then anything can happen to them and they’ll still find emotional happiness.”

Del Mar native and debut author Danielle Chammas says her daughter’s birth helped spark her life-long dream of writing and illustrating children’s books. The first book, “A Wish From a Fish,” centers on a sweet but self-effacing fish who feels utterly plain and goes through life pining to be to be every other creature she meets. As the pages turn, the fish finally finds a friendly turtle who describes the coolest animal imaginable. The fish, of course, longs to be that creature, only realizing on the final page that the creature is her. “I can’t tell you how many times a patient came in and wanted to talk about something they saw on someone else’s Facebook page,” Chammas said. “What’s unique to this generation of kids is that they’re growing up

in a world where we’re disproportionately seeing all the great things that are happening in everyone’s lives. And at the same time they’re getting so many more evaluations and standardized tests and so much more outside judgment than past generations have had. It’s imperative for us to help them build a strong internal source of emotional competence so they can celebrate the successes or the differences of others without feeling really crummy.” Her second book — “An Oops Sort of Day” — brings an interactive element to the story of its young protagonist going through his day, blundering one step to the next before ultimately learning to embrace his mistakes rather than fear them. “With the right attitude these really beautiful and unpredictable developments come out of each mistake that would have never been possible if he’d gotten it all right from the start,” Chammas said. “It’s the lesson that the world just isn’t in our control — and that’s OK, it’s part of the beauty of life. We, as parents, have forgotten the importance of falling down and getting back up, of doing something wrong and discovering something new. It’s so well-intentioned, but then in the mental health field we end up seeing this epidemic of stressed-out young adults who are afraid to make a misstep and it’s getting in the way of their potential for joy.” Authorship for Chammas was a journey in its own right. Writing and drawing have been dear pursuits since as long as she can remember, but she subdued those passions and in favor of her career in mental health SEE BOOKS, B22

furniture a lot,” Garcia said. They upholster a lot of outdoor furniture like sectionals and chairs using high-performance Sunbrella fabrics. Leonard learned the art of building and upholstering furniture from his father, Robert, who honed his skills working in furniture plants in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego in SEE GARCIA, B22

Summer school for foodies

o keep you on your toes this laid-back summer, and help you get the best out of the season’s culinary and solar bounty, here’s a quiz on everything from barbecues and bugs to sunburns and stone fruits. Check out next week’s column for the answers.

Multiple choice

1. Watermelons, the quintessential fruit of summer a) made handy canteens for early explorers b) were native to southern Africa and had been known in India since prehistoric times c) became seedless when the unpollinated flowers were treated with a specific acid d) have even more cancer-fighting lycopenes than the mighty tomato e) All of the above 2. Eating this leafy green packed with the powerful pigment Lutein creates an internal sun shield that not only lessens burning, but also protects optic nerves from sun damage, warding off macular degeneration a) romaine lettuce b) spinach c) dandelion leaves d) kale e) b and d 3. This drupe (hard-stoned) fruit and member of the rose family, once known as the “Persian apple” has over 700 varieties with a poisonous

pit containing hydrocyanic acid a) plum b) peach c) nectarine d) apricot 4. Although traditionally considered a savory winter herb, this aromatic summer attention-grabber is frequently tossed in the coals to infuse a woodsy flavor to lamb, chicken and fish, used as a stirring stick for cocktails, and a flavorful skewer for kebobs a) thyme b) sage c) tarragon d) rosemary 5. To ease sunburn pain, place this on tender spots a) a cool milk compress b) a concoction of strawberry juice and honey c) a blend of cucumber and watermelon juices d) an ice pack e) All of the above f) a and b 6. For a non-chemical bug repellant, especially for mosquitoes and chiggers a) rub a cut onion on your skin b) use a cinnamon-based spray c) massage orange and lemon peels on exposed areas d) dab chile peppers on pulse points e) a and c

7. A distant cousin to the almond boasting more than 1,000 cultivated varieties, this stony seed with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and antioxidant properties was introduced to California by Spanish missionaries in the 1800’s a) avocado b) cherry c) plum d) peach 8. This sassy herb not only ratchets up alertness, but refreshes the palate in iced teas, lemonades and mojitos, sweet and savory salads, taboulehs, salsas and lamb dishes a) basil b) peppermint c) cilantro d) spearmint

True/False

1. Eating garlic not only repels the occasional vampire, but also bloodsucking mosquitoes. 2. The Heirloom tomato, the summer darling of caprese salads is a hybrid cross between an ugli fruit and beefsteak tomato. 3. To lessen the itch from pesky bug bites, soak irritated skin in a bath of salt water, then slather with vegetable oil of choice. 4. Antioxidant packed dark chocolate with cocoa content over 72 percent has been linked to protecting the skin from sunburn when consumed in moderate amounts daily. 5. Store raw and cooked foods separately in the refrigerator to prevent transference of bacteria. 6. Wash fresh berries before refrigerating to hamper the formation of mold.
