Tree management plan approved for back nine at RSF Golf Club BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved the tree management plan for the back nine holes of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club course at its July 3 meeting. The plan for holes 10 through 18 calls for the removal of 56 trees, the replanting of 74 replacement trees and the elimination of over 7.9 acres of turf, which will be replaced with native shrubs and save a substantial amount of money on water, according to RSF Golf Club Manager Al Castro. After a somewhat contentious community meeting in 2013 about the club’s removal of trees to increase playability, the RSF Association and RSF Golf Club decided to work together to create a comprehensive plan. A tree management committee made up of members from the RSF Golf Club, the RSF Association’s trails committee and the committee on the natural environment (CONE) was formed to give every tree on the course a “thoughtful review and analysis.” In May, the board approved the plan for the front nine that included the removal of 32 trees, the planting of 30 new replacement trees and an additional 10.7 acres of turf. The total of 18.9 acres of turf being removed is part of the club’s overall effort to conserve water and irrigation costs, which have doubled over the last eight years, Castro said. The work on the front nine is expected to begin in September with a 90- to 120-day construction process. The tree plan for holes 10 through 18 are part of phase two and is scheduled to begin in September 2015.

RSF Association board agrees to work on updated campaign guidelines for future elections BY KAREN BILLING Campaign reform was discussed at the Rancho Santa Fe Association board’s July 3 meeting, the result of a turbulent election that the board members agreed they would like to put far behind them. Former RSF Association board candidate Dom Addario originally made the pitch for campaign conduct guidelines at last month’s RSF Association board meeting, proposing a cap on candidate spending and disclosure of campaign donations. “I think some kind of guidelines would be a benefit. It doesn’t tie to the dollars, it ties to the civility issue,” said RSF Association Director Jerry Yahr, noting that once an election gets muddied to include the boycotting of local businesses like the recent RSF Association board election did, it’s harmful for the community as a whole. “I think we would be remiss if we didn’t take the opportunity to refresh our guidelines and talk about civility, and put the onus on the candidates to talk to their surrogates and let them know the guidelines they’re following and that the tactics used in 2014 won’t be tolerated.” The RSF Association board members agreed that they would work on crafting some refreshed campaign guidelines during their upcoming board retreat. RSF Association Director Rochelle Putnam said one of See GUIDELINES, page 24

RSF Association Board Biz: It’s Fourth of July and New Year’s in Rancho Santa Fe! BY ANN BOON, PRESIDENT, RANCHO SANTA FE ASSOCIATION BOARD There are many grand and spectacular Fourth of July celebrations across America. Yet, there may be none that are anticipated with more enthusiasm than ours in Rancho Santa Fe. For many of us, especially in the under 10 set, it is the highlight of the year. Our parade, complete with festooned wagons, vintage autos and prancing horses, brings the entire community together to cheer for our country and for our Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe. July also marks the beginning of the New Year in the Covenant. It is the start of a new fiscal year and the beginning of the new term for Association board members. At our first meeting on July 3, the board welcomed newly elected member Kim Eggleston, who will be serving as treasurer this year. In an attempt to streamline the workload on staff and on board members, the board again decided to try to maintain a one-meeting-per-month schedule. Members have also expressed the concern that morning meetings prevent them from attending meetings and from volunteering to serve on the board. We decided to try evening meetings. Our next meeting will be Aug. 7 at 6 p.m. If you have been complaining about morning meetings, please attend our evening sessions! And, if you have enjoyed attending our morning meetings, we hope you will enjoy the evening ones just as much. Again, looking for ways to make our meetings more accessible and more transparent, the board is looking into the cost of recording our meetings. Technology has gotten simple enough that we believe a cost-effective way may be available to record our meetings and to post the audio link on our new website. We will keep you updated on that effort. Speaking of websites, our beautiful new website is launched and, although we are still adding refinements and working out bugs, it is a great leap forward. Go to rsfassociation.org and check it out. Many big projects that consumed our time last year are winding up, such as the efforts of the Compensation

Ann Boon Committee to streamline employee benefits. Other projects are still underway, such as the exploration of a pool/ fitness center. That committee will be presenting preliminary concepts and financial plans to the community in September in a series of meetings and focus groups. An advisory vote of the community is planned after those meetings to determine if further study is warranted. Other projects that the board is involved with include: collaborating with the Golf Club in the search for alternative water; studying voting rights for all property owners, including condo owners; evaluating stoplight design proposals for intersections along Paseo Delicias; and researching current technology alternatives for im-

proved high speed internet and cell service throughout the Covenant. Like residents in communities across the state, members of Rancho Santa Fe are concerned about improved infrastructure, energy efficiency, water conservation and fiscal prudence. This board will continue to work together on the challenges we all face in these critical areas. I should mention that the board also has formed a Search Committee to proceed with the formal process of finding a new Manager of the Association. We expect to hire a search firm to help with this process by the end of the summer. In the meantime, I assure you, we are all in good hands with our hard-working Acting-Manager-in-contention-for-Manager, Ivan Holler, and his staff. If you have any questions or concerns about life in the Covenant, feel free to call the Association office: 858-756-1174. Or email me at ann.boon@me.com. If you want to talk in person, you can find me on the first Saturday of every month at Positano, from 8-9 a.m.

RSF Association board to test nighttime meeting RSF Association Pool and Fitness Committee meets July 15 BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Thursday, Aug. 7, meeting will be held at night rather than in the morning. The idea of changing the meeting time from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. arose during the most recent election. RSF Association President Ann Boon said the change is not only to allow more people to attend who are unable to make a morning meeting during work hours, but also to appeal to future board candidates who work full-time jobs. As requested by director Jerry Yahr, association staff will look into the additional cost of moving to nighttime meetings, because there would be after-work hours for staff. RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser, one of the association’s longest-tenured employees, said the association tried nighttime meetings once before. He said they were lightly attended and weren’t as productive, as the meetings could drag late into the evening. The board agreed to the 6 p.m. meetings on a trial basis and might limit the night meetings to once a month. Also, the board opted to cancel its second meeting in July.

RSF Golf Club ends fiscal year on positive membership note BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Manager Al Castro said with the end of the fiscal year last month, the club experienced one of its best years for membership. The club added 26 members and lost only 33 members. “The gap is narrowing,” Castro said, noting the numbers are usually separated by up to 15 memberships. The club now has 504 members. Castro said many new members are in the fairly new junior-executive and former-resident categories. Of the 26 new members, eight were junior executives on the payment plan; the 18 others paid the full $50,000 enrollment fee. Castro said rounds of golf are down, a trend being seen nationwide with play declining about 12 percent a year. Even though rounds are down, the club saw about 32,000 rounds played this year, which he said represents a “healthy and active club.”

Next San Dieguito Planning Group meeting is July 10 The regular meeting of the San Dieguito Planning Group scheduled for July 10 at 7 p.m. will take place at the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station (meeting room), 16936 El Fuego, Rancho Santa Fe (El Fuego intersects Linea del Cielo at the west end of the village). Agenda and minutes can be found at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/pds/Groups/sandieguito. html

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Pool and Fitness Committee will meet on Tuesday, July 15, at 10:30 a.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. Covenant members are welcome to attend the meeting. According to RSF Association Director and Committee Chair Heather Slosar, the committee members believe they have found a neutral location for the pool and fitness center and have been working with

the architect of the Santaluz Club. An update will be provided at the meeting. Slosar said committee members have also been working on finances, communication and marketing issues as they gear up for a potential community-wide vote to see if the Association members truly want to pursue the pool and fitness center. Slosar said they aim to run focus groups in September with a vote potentially slated for October.

RSF Association board approves boost in funding for CHP Explorer program BY KAREN BILLING As it has every year since 1999, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved contributions to the California Highway Patrol’s Senior Volunteer Patrol and Explorers, a program that provides experience for youth interested in law enforcement careers. For the past three years, the association has contributed $4,000 to the SVP and $3,000 to the Explorers, funds included in the budget that help maintain the volunteer programs that assist the Rancho Santa Fe community. This year, the association granted a one-time additional $1,500 to the Explorers to buy a trailer to haul equipment for traffic control operations. “Without your funding, we’re lost,” said CHP Sgt. Scott Payson, Explorer coordinator, thanking the board for its contribution. Payson said the Explorers’ annual budget is about $7,000 a year. No additional help is received from the state for uniforms, equipment and participation in competitions. John Green, Senior Volunteer Patrol captain, said that the SVP also relies on the association for its help and said it is instrumental in helping the patrol meet its responsibilities. One of the SVP’s cars is posted at the R. Roger Rowe School every day of the school year, and the senior volunteers also help with traffic control for accidents, checking on and reporting abandoned vehicles, and donating more than 182,000 hours to support public safety. Both Senior Volunteer Patrol and Explorers are present at the annual July 4 parade in the RSF village, which RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said calls for additional manpower to help the RSF Patrol’s eight officers. “The parade is the highlight of my year,” Green said.

Healing Waters: Local resident’s new film conveys reverence, respect for Earth’s oceans BY PAT SHERMAN Although Pierce Michael Kavanagh’s new documentary is filled with musings on the power, mystery and life-sustaining abundance of the Earth’s oceans, the subjects in “What the Sea Gives Me” also express a deep concern for man’s impact on them — from sea level rise to the decimation of global shark populations. “It’s not a call to arms. … I call it a love story,” said Kavanagh, 45, who spent the past year and a half traveling and filming throughout California, Hawaii and New England with wife and co-producer, Perla. “The interviews that we got are just truly amazing. I think people are going to come to it already with a passion for the ocean, but it’s going to give you a lot to think about, and appreciate … (affirming) that we are the stewards of the sea.” The 63-minute film will have its world premiere, 9 p.m., Saturday, July 19, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla. The filmmakers and several of those appearing in the film — from surfers to scholars — will answer audience questions after the screening. Among those interviewed for the story is Ryan Levinson, a San Diego ocean sports athlete and activist who in 1996 was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a degenerative muscle wasting disease. “He was (attending) San Diego State, just living the life, lifeguarding, doing all this real manly stuff and they told him, ‘You’ve got to learn keypunch or something useful because you’re going to be wheelchair-bound,” Kavanagh said. “He left the office saying, ‘Man, if I’m going out, I’m going to go out doing what I love,’ so he went full-board for the next year and a half doing skydiving, mountain climbing, every single thing you could do.” Levinson and wife, Nicole, are currently gearing up for his next adventure, sailing from San Diego to Central America, then crossing the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia (a group of islands that includes Tahiti). The couple plans to leave after hurricane season in November. People can track their progress at TwoAFloat.com or via ryanlevinson.com “They’re expert sailors, but this is a massive trip com-

Kavanagh also interviewed Brett McBride, a childhood surfing buddy and local native who today works with the nonprofit seagoing organization, OCEARCH, which implants tracking devices on great white sharks and other top ocean predators. The tracking devices allow researchers and institutions to generate previously unattainable data on the movement, biology and health of sharks to protect their future while enhancing public safety and education. Though he grew up fishing and spearfishing, spending more than 20 years in Cabo San Lucas, in the film McBride says he didn’t realize until recently how much pressure humans are putting on sharks, which play a crucial role as balance-keepers of the oceans’ ecosystems. One of OCEARCH’s main objectives is to gather enough research to convey to governments how the practice of shark finning is decimating global shark populations, with the goal of creating laws that ban shark finning and other practices, such as the use of gill nets. It is estimated that 73 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone, to make a soup

Particularly vulnerable are hammerhead, Galapagos and blue sharks. “If you cut the shark fin off … you’re keeping only about one percent of the shark so you don’t have to head back to port and offload (as frequently) … so they’re just wiping out sharks at an unprecedented rate,” said McBride, who with OCEARCH founder Chris Fischer also appeared in the popular reality TV series, “Offshore Adventures.” “As I talk to more scientists and fishermen about what their areas have been seeing as far as damage to the ecosystem, it’s real apparent that this is one of the biggest problems the ocean has,” McBride added, noting that, in many areas what is left to flourish in the absence of sharks, is squid. “Every night squid come to the surface and eat the fry (baby fish) relentlessly — marlin, tuna, swordfish. … Those fish would grow up to be squid eaters as See WATERS, page 24

Jenny Craig to appear at RSF Library July 15 to discuss her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I Believe in Genevieveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY KAREN BILLING Jenny Craig will visit the Rancho Santa Fe Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library from 2 p.m.- 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 15, to sign and discuss her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Believe in Genevieve,â&#x20AC;? a story that shares Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifelong positive message about being strong and healthy. The book tells a tale borrowing from Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other big passion: horses. Genevieve wants to ride well in a large horse show at the end of summer, but she and her horse, Candy Ride, must get healthy to compete. To go for the championship means cutting out sweets and eating nutritious foods, and for both horse and rider to get plenty of exercise. In the book, Genevieve and her sister, Trudy, get tips from a great horse rider on how to have fun while being healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to give kids the impression that living healthfully can be fun,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving your body is the main thing.â&#x20AC;? Craig gives big kudos to her illustrator, Wendy Edelson, whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;brilliantâ&#x20AC;? watercolor paintings have created the look of a wonderful, old-fashioned book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Books are sadly disappearing from our horizon. To get kids visually interested in books is really a step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. All of the characters are taken from Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real life: While everyone has always called her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jenny,â&#x20AC;? her full name is Genevieve and her late sister was named Trudy. The trainer in the book is named John, after her horse trainer, John Sadler. The book mirrors the active, equestrian childhood that Craig enjoyed. Growing up in New Orleans, Jenny and Trudy loved to ride horses, renting them and riding two to three times a week. At the end of book, Craig includes exercises that kids can do, as well as several recipes for healthy snacks.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids really love making things. Give them recipes they can easily follow and they feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accomplishment.â&#x20AC;? Craig has written other books. Her first was â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Have You Got to Lose,â&#x20AC;? all about the Jenny Craig weight-loss program she started with her husband, Sid, in 1983, followed by several cookbooks. She has recently completed her autobiography, but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet decided whether she will print it just for family or make it available to the public. She had never even thought of writing a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book until a dear friend suggested it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to start children out with the right attitude toward food,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tend to use food as a reward or punishment, and we send a lot of bad messages to children as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing up. Parents underestimate the value they have as role models.â&#x20AC;? She said often children remember better what they see than what they hear, and if parents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eating vegetables but insist that their kids do so, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sending a mixed message. Craig said parents can play a powerful role in promoting a healthy lifestyle, not just with eating the right foods but by staying active alongside them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Play ball or go for a walk with your kids. Do things that are fun, and children will look forward to it, and then it becomes a routine,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. She has always practiced what she preached. She works

hard to be a good role model to her 14 grandchildren, teaching them at an early age to be active and eat right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you get used to eating the right foods, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you always want,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. While she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride horses anymore, exercise is still a part of her life every day. She used to do daily 4-mile walks on the beach until she tore her hamstring. Now she uses a treadmill and does weight training, plus pool exercises in the summer. Previously, Craig has gone on book tours to promote her books, but she decided against one of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;gruelingâ&#x20AC;? tours with â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Believe.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did this as a fun project,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting she did just one signing last year at the Del Mar Racetrack and another at Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in La Jolla, making the Rancho Santa Fe event a unique opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received nothing but very positive reviews â&#x20AC;Ś I get cute notes from readers, which tells me it was worth-

while for me to contribute that much time and commitment to this project.â&#x20AC;? Since 1983, Craig has spread a message of positivity, health and wellness. While she is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of Jenny Craig, the company boasts more than 600 franchised centers and more than 75,000 people following the Jenny Craig program in an average week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means the world to me,â&#x20AC;? she said, recalling times when she would be out to dinner with Sid and people would come to her table to tell them about their sister, brother, mother, friend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; somebody who had lost weight using the program and what it meant to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really love hearing the stories; I never got tired of that. When you know that you had some impact, however small, to help someone achieve a healthier body and lifestyle, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that make everybody feel good?â&#x20AC;? She remembers starting every day reading letters from people who had used the program and found success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would feel so good,â&#x20AC;? Craig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has been the greatest reward. I always have said that I would have done what I did even if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get paid for it. I really did it for the self-fulfillment and enjoyment I got from helping people.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping now that with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genevieve,â&#x20AC;? she can reach and teach a whole new generation. The Rancho Santa Fe Library is at 17040 Avenida de Acacias. The book is available at Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in La Jolla and from online bookstores (such as amazon.com) or from the publisher at www. regnery.com.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - JULY 10, 2014 - PAGE A7

Local professor releases new book ‘Buddha Meets The Beatles’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH Do you like The Beatles, but don’t know much about Buddha? Or do you relate to Buddha, but don’t know much about The Beatles? Then a new book, “Buddha Meets The Beatles,” is likely to appeal to you, said its author, local resident Dr. Edward Sarkis Balian. A business consultant and professor in the College of Business at Cal State San Marcos, Balian is also a musician and producer. He has created an alter ego, DJ Eddie, in a fictional on-air radio show who brings the reader in on an entertaining discussion as Buddha describes his favorite top 40 Beatles songs. Through DJ Eddie’s interview with Buddha, Balian explained, the reader learns about how Buddhist philosophy, in the simplest of explanations, interacts beautifully with Beatles songs. “(Readers) also learn Beatles trivia regarding the band, their lives and their legendary music.” Included in the book are original illustrations by San Diego artist Carey X. Kramer — who also provided original art for the book’s cover — plus images of Beatle artifacts, including photos of Beatlemania-related vintage guitars, advertisements, fan club items and concert photos, culled from Balian’s personal collection. Self-published through Silver Sky Publishing, “Buddha Meets the Beatles” is an entertaining read. But Balian said he nevertheless has a deeper message to convey. “I’m hoping (readers) come away with a better working knowledge, deeper understanding and stronger appreciation of the Beatles’ music, its origins, simplicity and complexity, along with a basic understanding of how Buddhist thinking can significantly improve your attitude (and life) in so many ways,” he explained. “You don’t have to become a Buddhist or a monk to benefit from living within a simple Buddhist way of thinking and acting.” Along with 73 million American TV viewers, Balian was captivated by The Beatles when they took the stage on the “Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964. He was already an avid collector of Beatles records and memorabilia when he saw the band in concert in 1966. That ticket stub is part of his

COURTESY PHOTO collection, along with an autographed book, “All You Need Is Ears,” written by Beatles producer George Martin. Caught up in the British rock invasion in 1968, Balian was part of the Detroit-based rock band Andromeda, which performed with many of the area’s top acts. In the mid1970s, he teamed up with longtime friend Raymond George and formed the George-Edwards Group, which is still recording. Balian plays guitar, piano and bass and continues to write orchestrated and pop/rock music, with sales of the duo’s original music now in more than 50 countries, thanks to a vinyl revival trend. The band’s third album, “Chapter III,” will be released in August. Balian has written numerous academic and pop culture books, including “Buddha Plays 18” written for golfers. Also, as a professional fine art photographer, he was associate editor of “Shutterbug” magazine for years before publishing his

own magazine, Photo World. Describing himself as a Buddhist in progress, Balian said, “Through my studies in astronomy and deep space as a young adult, I had developed the overall Buddhist philosophical beliefs on my own before I learned it was actually called Buddhism; I never sought it out, per se.” From there he read basic Buddhist primers and found it interesting to apply Buddha’s attitudes to everyday life. “How we look at things makes a difference. Your attitude controls your altitude in life,” he quipped. Visit www.BuddhaMeetsTheBeatles.com to order the book, which is also available from Amazon.com.

Bishop’s grad to produce first feature film BY ASHLEY MACKIN Russell Nickel, a graduate of The Bishop’s School, is in the midst of producing his first feature film — and said he has found fun in every step of the way. It might help that the film, “Bear With Us,” is a farce aimed at being as ridiculous and entertaining as possible. Every step in the filmmaking process has had a touch of silliness, he said, starting with the film’s premise, centered on a young man who wants to propose to his girlfriend at a cabin in the woods, but wouldn’t you know it, shenanigans ensue! William Stribling, director and co-writer of the film, explained, “We are both silly guys, and our imaginations were able to run wild with this. The story snowballs; it starts simple and by the end, all hell has broken loose.” When it came to putting the story together, Nickel and Stribling took a road trip from their campus

Russell Nickel and William Stribling. of Chapman University in Orange County to San Diego to see Weird Al Yankovic in concert. “We spent the whole drive brainstorming,” Nickel said. Stribling added, “It was incredible: We ended up missing our exit because we were talking back and forth. We ended up creating the entire plot of the movie during that trip.” Once the story was solid, the two shared writing

duties to get a script together, which was met with positive feedback from actors. When it came to casting, Nickel said he wishes he could have played the part of an indifferent filmmaker, but just couldn’t. “I was gushing to all the actors, and I think they got a kick out of it,” he said. “One actor said producers are often nonchalant, so when they read for a comedy, they don’t know if it’s working or if they are being funny. I was sitting in the back cracking up, and they seemed to like that.” He added, “These real actors were reading lines that I wrote. It was all coming to life in front of me. I spent months writing the script and honing it and got overwhelmed with excitement.” Of the eight-person cast, some of the bigger names are Christy Romano (“Kim Possible,” “Even Stevens”) and Cheyenne Jackson (“30 Rock,” “Behind the Candelabra,” “United 93”). Crews begin filming in August in Pennsylvania. “We wanted to make this film for as little as possible, so we wanted to keep it contained to one location and a small cast,” Stribling said of the $75,000 production. The crew gathered funds from private investors, crowd-funding and a little help from back home. Nickel said, “I was at Bishop’s for six years and felt immersed in La Jolla, so when it came to outreach, I called everyone I could think of and talked to them when I was home. A lot of people donated and invested.” When the film — which Nickel said is similar to “Death at a Funeral” and “Bringing Up Baby” — is finished, the crew will submit it to as many film festivals as they can. Stribling said he hopes to have the film circulating in 2015. View the animated trailer (the film is live-action) at BearWithUsFilm.com

Local nonprofit using microloans to help Cambodian women BY JARED WHITLOCK Five years ago, local resident Niels Lund traveled to Cambodia for an art exchange program. Upon meeting local mothers, he had a new goal: to harness the power of microloans. A retired teacher, Lund is also the founder and executive director of Microloans for Mothers. The nonprofit issues small loans to Cambodian women, allowing them to start and sustain businesses. “Poverty is the norm there — it’s totally different from our area,” Lund said. “But these women have been able to make their businesses succeed with ingenuity and a little help from us.” How it works: Five women form a group and apply. If approved, each group member is given a $100 loan. At the end of six months, the money is repaid in full, plus 10 percent interest. After that, the women can request larger loans, giving them the opportunity to grow their businesses. Instead of collateral, group members co-guarantee

Niels Lund, founder and executive director of Microloans for Mothers, visits a Cambodian mother at her vegetable garden. The nonprofit issues business loans in small amounts to Cambodian women to start their own ventures. COURTESY PHOTO each other’s loans. If one woman misses a payment, the others pitch in to cover the cost. “The group develops a tight-knit bond, and so every woman has an incentive to make sure her business succeeds,” Lund said. “They don’t want to disappoint the group.” Of the 138 microloans the nonprofit has issued, 98 percent have been paid back in full. “We’re teaching these women to be independent,” Lund said. “It’s the old adage of ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’” Businesses run the gamut, from vegetable farms to fish markets to even a karaoke store. And some are very success-

ful. Chhoun Sophal, one woman in the program, averaged $133 a month in profit in 2011 from running a pushcart business offering food and drinks. In the U.S., a $100 loan won’t come close to paying for business start-up costs. However, it’s quite a bit of money in Cambodia. “It’s essentially two months’ salary,” Lund said. “You can really do something with the funds.” He added that the business culture is completely different there. For instance, permits aren’t required for new ventures. “If you can make a go of it, that’s all that’s necessary,” he said. Microloans for Mothers has its roots in Class-ACT, a nonprofit Lund set up to bolster art in elementary schools. In 2009, Lund and other Class-ACT representatives went to Cambodia in 2009 as part of an international art exchange. After touring a school, they met the Cambodian children’s mothers and were struck by how many of the families were struggling.

“Most of them are single moms — it’s very typical,” Lund said. “We knew we should do something to help.” A year later, Lund established Microloans for Mothers. It’s modeled on the Grameen Bank, which pioneered group-based, collateral-free loans. The system has lifted many out of poverty in Bangladesh. Besides microloans, the nonprofit offers business training. Another important aspect, Lund said, is that the women contribute to a personal savings account as they repay their loans. Most people live week to week there, he said, so it’s important they understand the value of saving money. Microloans for Mothers serves rural areas in Cambodia. Lund said he’d like the program to branch into bustling Phnom Penh, the capital city. Also, the nonprofit established a business-training program for mothers in San Diego County, though Cambodia remains the focus. To combat disease, the

nonprofit expanded its mission to build latrines, because rural areas lack them. So far, it has built 17. “When you go into a country, you find new needs,” Lund said. He said Cambodia is especially in need of help, given its recent history. Civil war engulfed the country from 1970 to 1975. Afterward, the Pol Pot regime massacred a large number of people over four years, in mass grave sites known as the “Killing Fields.” “The country is still recovering,” Lund said. “Here we are — in a very small way helping the process.” For Lund, follow-up visits to Cambodia are rewarding. He sees firsthand the progress the women are making. “It’s amazing the success we’ve had,” he said. “It’s changed lives considerably.” Microloans for Mothers is supported by various groups and private donations.

‘Bug Lady’ retires: Beloved Village Church Preschool teacher honored BY KAREN BILLING Any creepy, crawly bugs in the Village Church Preschool’s vicinity will be a little more lonely now that teacher Kathie Stillwater, also known as the “Bug Lady,” is retiring after 35 years at the school. Every time a bug was spotted anywhere on campus, a student or teacher would holler for Mrs. Stillwater. “It was fun to help kids not be afraid of bugs and have a respect for life,” Stillwater said, noting that not even an ant has been stomped on her watch. More than just the Bug Lady, she was a joyful presence at the school: “Her enjoyment was contagious to all of us and to the children,” noted teacher Nicole Altier. “Mrs. Stillwater shared her delightful sense of humor with the children,” echoed Pamela Miller, director of the preschool. “Kathie has been a devoted teacher to hundreds of children, and she will be greatly missed.” Stillwater said she’s been dealing with her retirement for weeks, so she didn’t break down when honored at a recent staff party and during a “beautiful” June 29 church service at which one of her students was baptized. (See event photos on page 16.) “It’s not like I’m not coming back to visit,” she said. When Stillwater moved to San Diego in 1979, she almost immediately went to work at the preschool, having previous experience teaching preschool in Newport Beach. Many things have changed in her 35 years — including the building of a new school along with the church remodel. When she first started, the school was smaller and didn’t have separate classes. The school

Kathie Stillwater retires after 35 years teaching at the Village Church Preschool. Photo/Jon Clark went through a growth spurt with morning and afternoon classes, but has now downsized a little as more preschools have opened up around it, Stillwater said. “Before, we were way out in the boonies,” she said. For most of her time, Stillwater worked with the “fours,” the 4-year-old students. Living up to her name as The Creepy Crawly Lady, Stillwater had a pet tarantula and a pet snake that she used to bring into class. Nancy Long recalls arriving 30 years ago to teach at the preschool and being very nervous — but with Stillwater’s help, they set up their classroom with interesting books, a science area, housekeeping center and various toys that were fun and challenging for the children. She said Stillwater was ready, but Long was holding her breath. “Then Kathie did an amazing thing. She gave me a big box. The box was covered in colorful contact paper and she said it was for me to have. To this day I’m not sure what she thought I would do with it. But I car-

ried that box every morning to my classroom and every afternoon back to my house — I had my plan book in it and maybe something else, but not much,” Long said. “It was awkward to carry and hard to see around, but it had a purpose, therefore I had a purpose. I’m not sure how many weeks or months I hauled that silly box around, but there did come a day when I realized I didn’t have to anymore.” For the past 12 years or so, Stillwater has been a floating substitute, helping wherever she is needed As teacher Mary Floyd said, she has been “The Go-To person,” a valuable extra set of hands and eyes. “Kathie was a really good friend to children who were shy, quiet or sad,” Floyd said. “It was funny to see this great, tall person next to a 3- year-old, and they’re making a connection. “Mrs. Kathie Stillwater was Mrs. Tallwater, Mrs. Watermelon, Mrs. Waterstill or just the Bug Lady. By whichever name she is remembered, she will always be remembered fondly.” Stillwater has been teaching at the school long enough to have former students return with their own children and have the unique opportunity to teach the next generation. “I always give those parents extra hugs when they come in with their children,” Stillwater said. She said there are too many wonderful memories over the years to single out one favorite — her whole time in Rancho Santa Fe has been special. “It’s just been fun,” said Stillwater. “The whole school has been like my family, the children and the staff have been my life for 35 years and I’m going to miss them all.”

Former Torrey Pines pitching standout Joey DeNato finally gets his chance in pro ball BY GIDEON RUBIN By just about every objective measure, the call probably should have come much earlier. After concluding one of the most distinguished prep pitching careers in San Diego County history, former Torrey Pines High School standout Joey DeNatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name never surfaced on the 2010 amateur draft board. Three more excellent seasons at Indiana University â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which included him pitching a shutout against Louisville in the College World Series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and still, crickets. The call finally came last month. After a stellar senior year at Indiana that was apparently too much for professional scouts to overlook, the Philadelphia Phillies drafted DeNato in the 19th round. DeNato was back home eating a California burrito when he got the call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely very rewarding,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every baseball player wants a chance to get drafted and play pro ball. Just the fact that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting a chance is very exciting.â&#x20AC;? The Phillies assigned DeNato to its Class A affiliate in the short-season New York-Penn League. He is 1-0 with a 3.68 ERA through his first six appearances (all in relief) with the Williamsport (Penn.) Crosscutters. DeNato was overlooked by Major League scouts until this year because he lacks the attributes that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fairly or not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Major League scouts believe to be important in determining projectibility. DeNato is listed as a 5-foot-10 175-pounder, and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regularly light up radar guns. But he has excelled at every level. He was a high school All-American selection his senior year at Torrey Pines when he went 10-2 with a 1.15 ERA, striking out 97 batters in 73 innings and allowing just 20 walks and 58 hits. He was 37-9 with a 2.53 ERA in four years at Indiana in which he set school career records for victories, strikeouts (297) and innings pitched (369.1). He was projected to be drafted after going 10-2 with a 2.52 ERA as a junior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year I was upset for a little bit (after the draft), but when it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen I knew I was going back to IU and I loved it there anyway, so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that big of a deal for me,â&#x20AC;?

After being drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies, Joey DeNato has been playing for their Class-A affiliate Williamsport Crosscutters. PHOTO BY WILLIAMSPORT CROSSCUTTERS. DeNato said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt I had to prove myself someway, somehow, in order to get drafted and achieve my goals and my dreams Every single year I felt I had to get better and better and it finally happened my senior year.â&#x20AC;? DeNato forced the issue in a senior campaign in which he put up the same type of eye-popping numbers he regularly did when he was at Torrey Pines. DeNato finished the year among four players tied for

the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead in victories after going 13-1 with a 1.82 ERA. He struck out 81 batters allowed 91 hits and 39 walks in 109 innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stats I put up this past season could not have happened without my teammates,â&#x20AC;? DeNato insists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that sounds so clichĂŠ, but it was easy pitching for Indiana this year. We had the bats, we had the gloves, and we had the bullpen. We had everything this year.â&#x20AC;? That DeNato had his best year at Indiana after being snubbed by professional baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection process for a second time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; circumstances that often trigger regression â&#x20AC;&#x201D; speaks volumes about DeNatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, said Matt Chess, his former coach at Torrey Pines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me at all that, character-wise, Joey would handle it the way he did,â&#x20AC;? Chess said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me that not only did he handle it well, but that he used that additional year to figure out the game at that level to be a little bit more successful, and to become arguably one of the absolutely best players in the nation this year.â&#x20AC;? Chess believes that DeNato deserved to be named a first-team All-American this year. DeNato was named to the third team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of the 10 best pitchers in the nation this year, but apparently the people who make those lists didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it the same way I did,â&#x20AC;? Chess said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His statistics bear that out, and you can ask anybody at IU and anybody in the Big 10 (Conference), I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll agree with that statement.â&#x20AC;? The apparent snub wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first. After his senior year at Torrey Pines, DeNato was the only All-American selection that year who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drafted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have the last laugh in this,â&#x20AC;? Chess said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if you see him pitching in a Major League stadium one day. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used to being the little guy, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also used to being the guy who figures out what it takes to be successful and not being defined by that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the reason heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so successful.â&#x20AC;?

the concerns about campaign contributions is the issue of transparency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a lot of money was spent on behalf of candidates running for election and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concern that the seat can be bought for a certain amount of money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very intimidating for candidates considering running, thinking they will have to spend a lot of money to get elected,â&#x20AC;? Putnam said. Addario pointed out that someone who contributed a large sum to a candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign might come before the board with vested interests regarding a request and there should be some way to know who those people are. RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler said the RSF Association staff conducted a review of legal decisions regarding campaign spending limits and disclosure, which do not appear to be enforceable. In particular, he cited the 2010 Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court decision that prohibits the government from restricting independent political expenditures. Holler said as the Association is not a government entity it may be able to adopt some regulations for campaign spending, but it does leave them open to the risk of First Amendment challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spend money to set some kind of HOA case law,â&#x20AC;? said RSF Association Director Heather Slosar. Despite being a target of some of the nasty campaign strategies, new board member Kim Eggleston agreed that they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste too much time or money on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we should overreact over

one anomalous election cycle,â&#x20AC;? Eggleston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this was an anomaly and that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repeat itself.â&#x20AC;? RSF Resident Terry Peay said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the financial contributions that drove the election, but rather the tactics used. He said the moral low point came when documents related to candidate Kim Egglestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-yearold divorce were sent out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what galvanized people and got people out to vote,â&#x20AC;? Peay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the money spent.â&#x20AC;? The personal attacks were â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? said Eggleston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had I known I would be subjected to the stuff pulled on me I never would have done this (run for a board seat).â&#x20AC;? Eggleston said his social security number was published in an e-mail blast. He said he does not know why it was done and that it caused a great deal of damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That ignited a prairie fire of anger against the Public Interest Committee that dominated everything,â&#x20AC;? Eggleston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The money flowed as a direct response to the actions taken by those individual members that were abhorrent and put me at financial risk.â&#x20AC;? Addario said that he did not support any derogatory information that came out regarding Eggleston. He said he experienced a great deal of consternation during the election, including seeing a mailer with a picture of himself, his wife Marie and candidate Susan Callahan in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wantedâ&#x20AC;? poster with their hands in the cookie jar, accused of stealing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a terrible election, we all suffered,â&#x20AC;? Addario said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every board leaves behind a legacy and your legacy will be that

you did something about it or you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Board members agreed that they could adjust the guidelines to find a way to have the candidates behave in a professional, respectful manner, but they have to go beyond just the candidates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I see it, the bulk of the excessive spending and repugnant mudslinging being discussed was done by surrogates or third parties,â&#x20AC;? said RSF Association Board Vice President Craig McAllister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it hard to

well, so when you start removing them thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double-fold less pressure on the squid. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really tipping the balance of the ecosystem and the ocean in ways that the local fishermen catching the sharks have no grasp of.â&#x20AC;? Also interviewed for the film is local resident Water Munk, a professor of geophysics emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanograpy. In the film, Munk recounts his pioneering research on the passage of waves and wave energy across the Pacific Ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sea level rise is probably the greatest peril to people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there are questions as to whether the changing alkalinity is going to be a correlating peril to sea life,â&#x20AC;? Munk cautions in

understand how any regulations on individual candidates are going to affect how third parties spend their money or sling their mud.â&#x20AC;? All of the board members said they wish to put the election behind them and hoped that, as Eggleston said, this particularly ugly election was an anomaly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nasty tactics did backfire in a way,â&#x20AC;? Slosar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that the community learned a lesson.â&#x20AC;?

the film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people who are skeptics about climate change. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one of them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m convinced by the evidence that there are very significant changes taking place â&#x20AC;Ś (that are) going to very much effect people in the next 100 years.â&#x20AC;? Following the worldpremiere of â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the Sea Gives Me,â&#x20AC;? Kavanagh and his wife will hit the road in an RV to screen their film in cities across the country, including stops at many film festivals. This is the second documentary for the former La Jolla restaurant employee and self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;surf and snowboard bumâ&#x20AC;? turned auteur who returned to school in his 30s to earn a film degree from the UC San Diego. His first film, 2011â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manufacturing Stoke,â&#x20AC;? was selected to screen in 24 international film festivals

within 12 months of its release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since our first film did well a lot of festivals are already requesting it just sight unseen, which is really neat,â&#x20AC;? said Kavanagh, a graduate of St. Augustine Catholic High School who grew up blocks from the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really pleased that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing at the Museum of Contemporary Art,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always a dream of mine to (screen) a film there.â&#x20AC;?

public funds are being spent At the June 19 RSF Association meeting, during member input, a few members proposed dramatic changes to how campaigns are conducted for the RSF Association board. I was at that meeting and heard the suggestions — they reveal much about how some folks view governance in RSF. In addition to suggesting limits be placed on campaign spending, one person said “the board should review all campaign materials before being distributed,” and further, that the board “should have the authority to disqualify a candidate who violated [his prescribed] code of conduct.” I was shocked to hear that someone was advocating this level of authoritarianism and restrictions on free speech in this day and age. First, what happens when the board decides to censor and/or edit communications in violation of the Davis Sterling Act, like they did to folks this last election? Second, how could we stand for something so directly in conflict with the 1st amendment right to free speech protected by the U.S. Constitution? Further, all campaign money spent on this last election was private money, not RSF Association dues. The board should concern itself with how RSF Association money is spent, not how people choose to spend their private money. Allowing our board to disqualify candidates is a power reserved for overzealous totalitarian governments. If anything, we should expect civility as a community and deride those who have used personal attacks and defamatory letters as their chief campaign tactic for decades. We should also consider how this offensive tactic was finally defeated. A whole bunch of community members got together and put in the time, effort, and money to finally and successfully combat the misinformation and mudslinging. Finally, over the past 20 odd years, RSF Association bylaws have been modified to benefit the incumbents, legal fees spent to protect their power, and dues spent on poor investments like the Osuna Ranch. It should be no surprise that many members were and are motivated to spend money on campaigns to ensure board members are elected who will be good stewards of their capital and fairness. Do we really want to create laws that protect board members from being accountable to these members? We don’t need to restrict the private right of free speech. We need to know how and for what purpose our public funds are being spent. Let’s move forward from the campaign and focus on the important work we have ahead. Mike Licosati Rancho Santa Fe

Community swimming pool would be overloaded with politics in Rancho Santa Fe Because I was mentioned in the June 5 RSF Review question and answer article (titled “RSF Association health club and pool?”) as a Swimming Pool committee member who was opposed to the swimming pool, I would like to respond. Presumably after reading the newspaper article about the proposed community swimming pool, covenant residents would have noticed that nothing was mentioned in the article about getting a swimming pool that had anything to do with swimming. Coincidentally, during committee meetings we also never talked about swimming as a reason to have a community pool. If a community pool doesn’t have any face value (i.e., to swim) then the idea of having a community pool becomes overwhelmingly political and theoretical. In Rancho Santa Fe, a community swimming pool would be overloaded with politics. There would not only be one political decision — should there be a pool or not — we would have to consider whether there should be one, or two or even three swimming pools (pools for children, adults, laps only, etc); where the pool(s) would be located; which group(s) of people would be forced to have their lifestyle(s) diminished by having one; black-bottom or regular; fee structure, shape of pool, size of pool; should it be heated all year; lifeguards or not; county issues; Art Jury approval; chlorine or salt water; rules, restrictions, guest policies; hours, classes, security; top-free option for the ladies, or swimsuit tops required; could it be shut down for private parties; to name a few. And what would happen if we couldn’t pay for it as planned? With all of these possibilities, it is essentially a matrix set up for nobody to be happy. Anyone who hasn’t slept through the past few months is probably very tired of local politics, and would wonder why we would fill our plates with what could be years of unnecessary politics. And we haven’t even determined whether the water table under the hill (where the proposed choices are for the pool to go) would be a deal-killer. In the article, it was incorrectly stated that I “have become much more open to the idea” of the pool. To the contrary; the more I look into having a community pool, the more repelled I am by the proposal. Rory Kendall Covenant Resident since 1963

Kudos to Dottie McCrink for doll donation I was pleased to read of Dottie McCrink’s donation of her lovely doll collection to the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. Now, many residents and visitors in the future will view and share her special dolls. It was a generous example of gift-giving to the RSF Historical Society — one that will remain preserved to enhance the community. “Go, Dottie!” Pat Cologne RSF Historical Society Past President

Grateful for choice of Holcombes as Grand Marshals for July 4 Parade We are deeply grateful that the organizers of the RSF 30th annual Fourth of July Parade named Donna and Bob Holcombe and their sons, Jeff and Tim, as Grand Marshals of the parade for their significant and long-term contributions to our beautiful community. Since 1972, the Holcombe family has been building extraordinary custom homes in Rancho Santa Fe. Their homes incorporate designs from Early California, Mexico, North Africa and the American Southwest. Not only are Holcombe Homes in keeping with the architectural heritage envisioned by Lilian Rice, but they project a serenity that is calming and pervasive. In the construction of their residences, Donna, Bob, and their sons have used their artistry and vision to blend environment with design and create uniquely welcoming home and garden retreats. We appreciate their significant talents in enhancing the natural beauty of Rancho Santa Fe. The Holcombe family is truly Rancho Santa Fe at its best. Carole Warren and Shawn Primmer

Del Mar racing season ready to run with variety of engaging events BY KELLEY CARLSON There’s twice as much to look forward to at the Del Mar racetrack this year. For the first time, the seaside oval will host summer and fall meets. “Our fall meet is drawing a lot of buzz and looking very exciting,” said Joe Harper, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s president and chief executive officer. “But first we’ve got a classic summer season full of big purses, good horses, and more Del Mar fun than you can shake a stick at.” The season kicks off on July 17 — a Thursday, which is not the traditional Wednesday opening day. Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions, explained that this is because of the San Diego County Fair running later than usual this year: Turnaround time is needed to accommodate the large Opening Day crowds and allow horses to acclimate. Yet as much action as ever is planned during the 36-day summer meet, which runs through Sept. 3. Forty-three stakes races are scheduled, with some on the newly expanded turf course. The main event will once again be the $1 million Grade I TVG Pacific Classic, slated for Aug. 24. Among the possible entrants are the 2013 winner, Game On Dude; last year’s 2-year-old champion, the undefeated Shared Belief; and top stakes runners Imperative, Clubhouse Ride, Medal Count, Dance With Fate and Toast of New York. Entertainment Once again, Del Mar has assembled quite a concert lineup for its Four O’Clock Fridays and the occasional Saturday performances. First-timers include the Counting Crows and Electronic Dance Music (EDM) DJ Steve Aoki, along with returning favorites such as Weezer and Ziggy Marley. Concerts are free with racetrack admission, or $20 after the last race. Microbrews and gourmet foods Nearly every weekend will feature some kind of event related to food or drink. The fun starts with the San Diego Beer Fest on July 26, where patrons can sample from more than 100 local craft brews. A week later — on Aug. 2 — will be the Western Regional Chili Cook-off, where people can get free tastings and vote for their favorite cook to advance to the 2014 world championships. The Del Mar Grill Fest follows on Aug. 9, highlighting cuisine from more than 25 barbecue professionals. Next will be the Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Aug. 16, which will boast fare from about 50 trucks, ranging from gluten-free crab cakes to unusual grilled cheese sandwiches. Finally, there’s the International Beer Fest on Aug. 24, with a lineup that includes Irish reds, German pilsners and Belgian wheats. Family fun Every weekend, parents and their children can head to the infield for free fun. Among the activities: pony rides, a giant scramble slide and obstacle course, magic shows, a caricature artist, face painters and a

visit by the track mascot, “Pony Boy.” A “super-sized” Family Fun Day is set for July 20, where guests can meet jockeys and an ex-racehorse, enjoy baseball clinics with the Lake Elsinore Storm, and take part in a Webkinz plushie giveaway for kids 12 and younger. “(Del Mar) is a low-cost alternative destination for families during the summer,” Bahr emphasized. Giveaways Besides the Webkinz giveaway, visitors can plan to take home Del Mar beach towels — with the track’s signature blue-and-gold jockey silk pattern — on July 26, and Tshirts on Aug. 24. Items are free with paid admission. Something for everyone Yet another event that is back this year is Donut Days, which will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. July 19 and Aug. 23. Patrons of all ages can listen to track announcer Trevor Denman quiz jockeys and trainers as they observe horses working out and savor free coffee, orange juice and doughnuts. Similarly, there’s Daybreak at Del Mar from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday during the meet. Guests can enjoy a meal while viewing the thoroughbreds on the track and listening to former jockey Jeff Bloom provide behind-the-scenes info and racing tips. And the crowd can cheer on the fastest “wiener” dog in the county Aug. 30 during the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals-San Diego Finals. The victor will move on to the national competition. Getting in on the action Those intrigued by racehorse ownership can attend the Paddock Sale on July 20, and auction company Barretts is hoping to have as many as 40 race-ready thoroughbreds on the block. Success stories from the 2013 sale include sales topper Oscar Party ($510,000), second in the Grade II Indiana Oaks. According to Bill Baker of Barretts, this summer’s auction will include stakes runners Heir Kitty and Handsome Mike. Prospective first-time owners are encouraged to contact the Thoroughbred Owners of California (toconline.com) and/or research ownership through The Jockey Club/Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (www.ownerview.com). For bettors, handicapping seminars are at 12:45 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day, and at 11:45 a.m. Pacific Classic Day. Newcomers seminars are held an hour before the start of the first race in the Plaza de Mexico. Looking for a deal To save on admission, sign up for the Diamond Club for free. And every Wednesday, club members receive free Stretch Run admission, a program and seat, along with half-price domestic beers, sodas and hot dogs. Seniors 62 and older can also get in free on Thursdays with their club card. To avoid parking hassles, anyone can take advantage of the $11 “Pony Express” See RACING, page B22

Opening Day takes place Thursday, July 17, this year BY KELLEY CARLSON Hold on to your hats for an extra day this year — Del Mar will open on a Thursday, instead of the traditional Wednesday. One of the area’s biggest social events, Opening Day is set for July 17. It’s a feast for the eyes, from the colorful parade of fancy hats and jockey silks, to celebrity sightings. And parties are happening everywhere, on and off the track, all day long and well into the evening. The centerpiece of the seaside oval’s celebration is the Opening Day Hats Contest, now in its 20th year. Officially established in 1995 by Julie Sarno as “The One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest,” it brings out the most serious of hat aficionados, who spend months perfecting their headgear for prestige and prizes. This year’s categories are Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous, Most Glamorous, Best Flowers/All Others and Best Fascinator. In each category, first place wins $300 and a $100 Studio Savvy gift certificate; the runner-up receives $200; and third place is awarded $100. The Bing Crosby Grand Prize recipient — selected from the winners of each category — will receive a two-night getaway at The Grand Del Mar and dinner for two, valued at $1,500, plus a $500 gift certificate to hat sponsor The

Village Hat Shop. Contestants must sign up between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the large fountain in Plaza de Mexico, located inside the Stretch Run admission gates. All entrants will receive two free admission passes to the races for a future visit. Another event to help kick off the start of the summer racing season is The Party on Opening Day. A $30 ticket will grant a person Stretch Run admission and special access to the Seaside Cabana on the west end of the grandstand, where there will be disc jockeys, a microbrew garden, gourmet food trucks, private areas for wagering, photo booths, interactive activities and prize giveaways. “It’s a party within a party,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. Tickets can be bought at the gate, but it’s suggested that they be purchased ahead of time at www.dmtc.com/season/ tickets/. Other traditions planned include the singing of the national anthem; “Sing With Bing,” when a special guest croons Crosby’s “Where the Turf Meets the Surf”; and the Hippity Hop Derby, consisting of Camp Del Mar participants bouncing their way down the stretch on large, inflatable balls. The racing highlight will be the Oceanside Stakes for 3-year-olds on the newly expanded turf course. It serves as a key prep for Del Mar’s sophomore championship race, the Grade II Del Mar Derby, on Aug. 31.

Local cast shines in ‘Annie Jr.’ production at Lyceum Theatre

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SUSAN FARESE Let’s face it, the sun usually appears each day in San Diego, despite Gray May, June Gloom and the mysterious marine layer! It’s summertime, so you can bet your bottom dollar that the sun will come out — not only tomorrow, but from July 18-27, when the awardwinning Actors Conservatory Theatre of San Diego brings its all-youth production of “Annie Jr.” to the Lyceum Theatre. Bernard Baldan directs “Annie Jr.,” with musical direction by Tim McNight, choreography by Athena Espinoza, costumes by Janet Pitcher, and stage management by recent Canyon Crest Academy graduate Mandy Wirt. The 42 effervescent “Annie Jr.” actors, ranging in age from 5 to 19, are double-cast in “white” and “red” casts. Many of them play several roles. The cast has 18 Carmel Valley youth actors in the show, along with four cast members from Rancho Santa Fe, two cast members from Encinitas (both recent graduates of Canyon Crest Academy), and one from Del Mar. The upbeat musical is based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie,” taking place in a Depression-era New York orphanage run by the over-the-top, rude matron Miss Hannigan (Encinitas resident Lindsay Grant, white cast and Carmel Valley’s Alyssa De Vries, red cast). Spunky orphan Annie, (played by sixth-grader Carmel Valley resident Tess Maretz, white cast) is determined to find her birth parents. Annie runs away from the orphanage, befriends a dog that she names Sandy and serendipitously is “chosen” (with her charm and wit) by the elegant Grace (Carmel Valley’s recent CCA graduate Marisa Acosta, white cast), to spend the Christmas holiday at the mansion of Grace’s employer, hard-hearted billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Along the way, Hannigan’s crooked swindling brother Rooster (played by Encinitas resident and recent CCA grad Troy Lingelbach, white cast) and his bubbly, not so elegant or bright accomplice, Lily St. Regis (Carmel Valley’s CCA sophomore Emmy Farese) bring more comic relief and plenty of shenanigans to the plot! In this beloved musical, all ends well and is suited for all ages. Popular songs include “Maybe,” “Tomorrow,” It’s a Hard Knock Life” and “NYC.” The music is by Charles Strouse, with lyrics by Martin Charnin and book by Thomas Meehan. Director Bernard Baldan warmly smiled after a recent rehearsal and said that he loves working with ACT-San Diego because “these kids gain insight, professional ethic and real world theater experience from dedicated professional adult mentors from the theater community.” Barbara Maisel, CFO and founding member, said, “As we enter our seventh year and our 17th production, we are grateful to be able to offer shows ranging from the classics to the cutting edge.” And board member Staci Wax-Vanderweil added, “For me, I love the entire process of educational theater ... watching the kids grow and learn, and older kids mentoring the younger ones. By opening night, I’m amazed by how far they have come and what amazing progress they’ve made. Seeing the show come to life is magical.” Some comments from the cast:

Middle row: Lauren Goldman, Grace Callstrom, Helen Blackstone-Gardner, Sophit Maretz, Brottany Barry, Alexa Gibilisco. Bottom row: Cary Barry, Kaia Leibo, Teresa Perez, Tess Maretz, Isabella Martini, Anna Ybarrola. PHOTO BY SUSAN FARESE Tess Maretz (Annie, white cast): “This is my dream role! The most challenging thing is leaving rehearsals ... I love being there so much!” Troy Lingelbach (Roster, white cast, and Bert Healy, red cast): “It’s been challenging, but I love that my two roles are polar opposites!” Alyssa Devries (Miss Hannigan, red cast): “The challenge is having to use such horrible grammar. I have been trained to speak better, her style is grungy”! Finally, Jadyn Kaplan: “I love performing. I get that from my Dad (Scott Kaplan); but the best part about being in this show is that my two sisters get to do it with me. It’s the first play we have all done together and it’s so much fun to be on stage with them.” “Annie Jr.” plays at the Lyceum Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego.

RSF Association board to explore possibility of recording meetings BY KAREN BILLINGS As a result of a request from some community members, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board will explore the possibility of recording its meetings and posting the audio on the RSF Association web site. The recordings are an attempt to make board discussions and deliberations more widely available for members who are unable to attend, according to RSF Association Acting Manager Ivan Holler. The recordings would not take the place of official written minutes but would be provided for information only. Holler said the board room is not currently configured for audio recordings and the board directed staff to investigate the costs and timeline associated with equipping the room for recording.

”Magic and the Mind,” a new five-day enrichment program using magicians’ techniques to teach children about the psychology and neuroscience of deception, will take place from 1-5 p.m. Aug. 11-15 at the UC San Diego Extension University City Center, Room 303. The program, designed and taught by cognitive scientist Dr. Iris Oved and magician Tom Interval, will engage middle- and high-school students ages 12-18 in several exercises centering on perception, attention, memory, assumptions, reasoning and social cognition. Besides studying and performing magic tricks that exploit certain weaknesses in these cognitive functions, participants will discuss how the functions play a role in deceiving the mind. “The mind is one of the most complex and elegant systems in the world,” said Oved. “Understanding how it works and why it’s so susceptible to deception teaches us how we, as critical thinkers, can override many of its fallacies, interpret the world more accurately and make better decisions in everyday life.” Students will participate in a final group project that involves creating a new magical illusion, and the instructors will conduct short pre- and post-tests to measure the program’s impact on participants’ critical-thinking skills. To register for “Magic and the Mind,”

visit http://extension.ucsd.edu/cart/index. cfm?vAction=view and enter Section ID 105060 (registering for the program will require the creation of an online account). The fee is $295, with a 20-student maximum. To download a “Magic and the Mind” flier and sample schedule, visit www.magic andthemind.org.

San Diego Beerworks receives enthusiastic welcome in Solana Beach BY KAREN BILLING A “super-soft” opening at Solana Beach’s new San Diego Beerworks recently turned into an all-out flood of customers thirsting for a craft beer spot in the North Coast area. “We were jam-packed the entire weekend,” said owner John Holko, who was behind the bar working the taps so steadily that one sought-after brew, Alpine’s Hoppy Birthday, ran out on the very first day. Through word of mouth and social media, beer aficionados seemed to be clamoring for his bar to open. He got encouraging emails during the long march to opening day with people from all over the county saying they were looking forward to the new place. One day, a couple of guys drove up from Mission Valley just to peek in the windows. “There’s been a lot of excitement with people who are beer fans, and we owe them a debt of gratitude,” Holko said. “We just have to do right by them and give them a great quality product.” Holko, who opened the bar with his wife, Jennifer, aims to “celebrate the craft,” keep the pints beautiful and showcase San Diego’s local breweries the best he can. While he would never call his customers “beer geeks,” he happily uses the term to describe himself. Holko has been in the beer business for 10 years, predominantly on the supplier side. Most recently he worked for Crown Imports, commuting to San Francisco to work for the company that supplies and imports Corona, Pacifico, Modelo, Negra Modelo and Victoria beers. Before that, he spent five years working for Heineken USA, managing the sales territories of Orange County, Inland Empire and Las Vegas. “There’s been a huge boom in the last five years with craft beer in San Diego, and San Diego is recognized as the craft beer city in the country, that’s a known,” Holko said. “Last time I checked, there were over 85 breweries. What better way to come back to San Diego and stay in the business and also celebrate everything San Diego craft?” He said while there are a lot of places to taste downtown, unless you visit the actual breweries, North Coast was lacking a place to sit down and have a “really good beer experience.” Holko has thought of every detail at Beerworks — from

San Diego Beerworks, serving up all San Diego craft beer, recently opened in Solana Beach. COURTESY PHOTO the glassware used to the temperature, pressure and presentation of the beer — a one- to two-finger foam head that allows the nose to pick up the effervescence and bouquet of the beer. In Solana Beach’s Beachwalk Retail Center, Beerworks completely overhauled the space that was formerly Cupcake Love bakery. (No matter how much work they have done, Holko said they still see little bits of pink paint on occasion.) Holko went for a “vintage industrial” look, exposing the beams, tearing up the flooring and leaving the concrete, and putting in brick walls. He put in a unique coldrolled-steel bar top and built the bar from reclaimed wood from a 100-year-old Sacramento barn. “I loved the story behind it,” Holko said. Between leather couches and chairs sits an antique cart from an old factory in South Carolina that has found a new life as a coffee (beer?) table.

Behind the bar, Beerworks has 20 taps, and Holko’s goal is to change the lineup every two weeks, offering brews nobody else is pouring. Beers on the board include Alesmith Speedway Stout, Societe Belgian Ale, Culture Saison out of Solana Beach, the very popular Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Stout, the “hard core” Port Brewing’s Older Viscosity (“It’s almost like wine”), the “super fresh” Stone Ruin 10 Double IPA, Port Brewing’s “amazing amber” Shark Attack and Barrel Harbor Fenris IPA, which uses a mosaic hop. Four barside taps are reserved for special events, used for tap takeovers, meaning a brewery can come in and pour beers as if it were in its own tasting room. The first takeover will be Green Flash, from July 9-14, a whole week of the brewery rotating its brews. A Green Flash cask tapping will be held on Friday, July 11. “It’s the purest representation of the beer,” Holko said. “For beer aficionados, that’s a great day, it’s like somebody’s birthday.” His expansive beer cases have room for 315 different beers. Customers can opt for a can or bottle to go, or purchase it to drink right at the bar. Holko is hoping to broaden people’s horizons and get them to try different breweries — the cases carry San Diego craft beers as well as craft beers from around the country, such as Ommegang out of New York and Shipyard out of Maine. “It’s all about education and expanding people’s awareness,” he said. Folks looking for a beer education will find one behind the bar — Holko and his knowledgeable, friendly employees absolutely love talking beer. Beerworks also carries some wine and champagne, and the hope is to offer some small plates such as cheeses and charcuterie. As much as possible, Holko wants to work with his neighboring businesses. He will pair stouts with chocolates from Jer’s Chocolates a few doors down, and people who want a more substantial meal with their beer can have food delivered from neighboring Crush or California Pizza Kitchen. Visit San Diego Beerworks at 437 Highway 101, suite 107 in Solana Beach. Visit sandiegbeerworks.com or call 858-353-7174.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Event to honor Hall of Fame jockey, trainer

Passion for pinot drives new wine shop BY MARTI GACIOCH Pinot noir aficionados now have a specialty wine shop to call their own: Wine Factor, the brainstorm of Pat and Bev Hurley. The Hurleys’ passion for pinot noir inspired them to become Internet wine retailers three years ago. “We’ve always loved wine and have taken many winetasting trips, and found that we’re both drawn to pinot noirs, our favorite varietal,” Bev Hurley said. “We thought it’d be fun to share that passion with others with Wine Factor specializing in high-quality pinot noirs.” The Hurleys love the versatility of pinot noir. “It pairs easily with so many foods, including Thai, Italian, chicken, and salmon, and it’s easy to drink and can take on many different flavors — bold and fruity or light and minerally,” Hurley said. “We love all the flavor varieties of pinot noirs and offer them all on our website.” The Hurleys’ quest for high-quality, small production boutique pinot noirs takes them all over California and Oregon seeking out gems from small wineries. “We bring back sample bottles for our panel of 11 winetasters to try, and they share their opinions. Only wines that make everyone on the panel say ‘Wow!’ are selected to be sold on winefactor.com,” Hurley said. “It has to be really spectacular to make it on our website.” Popular pinot noirs (priced $30-$75) on their site include Fiddlehead Vineyard’s Lollapalooza (bold and fruity); En Route by Far Niente (well-balanced and goes with everything); Au Bon Climat out of the Santa Rita Hills (a lighter Burgundian style of wine). The Hurleys post detailed reviews of each of the featured wines that include notes from the winemaker and any ratings from the Wine Spectator or Robert Parker. They also add their own anecdotal thoughts about each wine. Wine Factor has a climate-controlled storeroom for their wines, and stores them until they’re at their peak before placing them on the website. Wine Factor doesn’t have

The Edwin J. Gregson Foundation recently announced that it will host a charity fundraiser honoring Hall of Famers jockey Julie Krone and trainer Richard Mandella for their extraordinary racing accomplishments and contributions to the prominence of the thoroughbred industry. A definite event on the annual “To Do” list, this year the Foundation will pay tribute to its distinguished honorees with a festive Carnival Party and dinner tribute. Cocktail time features Dunk Tank high jinks to help raise fun and funds. Dunkees will be honoree Richard Mandella, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President and General Manager Joe Harper, Gregson Foundation President Jenine Sahadi, and — sound the trumpets — thoroughbred trainer Bob Baffert. This once-in-a-lifetime chance promises great fun and is for a worthy cause. Proceeds of the event will be used for continued development of various educational and recreation programs to benefit California’s backstretch workers and their families, helping these individuals improve their standard of living and achieve excellence in their lives. Festivities will take place on Sunday, July 27, at the Seaside Cabaña (west of the grandstand) at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar. Tickets are $250 per person. The fundraisers sell out each year, and the Edwin J. Gregson Foundation encourages early purchase of tickets. Contact Angie Carmona at 626-447-2339; visit www. gregsonfoundation.com.

Former foster teens honored as Promises2Kids Guardian Scholars

Victoria grew up in an environment that was more akin to third world country standards than the America that we see on television. In a somber home marred with violence, addiction and frequent police raids, she sought solace in education. Victoria was homeless by middle school and forced to quit school to care for her four younger sisters. Recently, Victoria was clearly overcome. She just earned her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in business administration. On Friday, June 27, Victoria and 84 other foster youth were recognized during a ceremony at the Del Mar Country Club to applaud their academic achievements. The students are all foster youth who are beating the odds and realizing their dreams of a higher education as part of Promises2Kids Guardian Scholars.

Rio de Janeiro â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital of soccer passion BY JOE TASH RIO DE JANEIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On match day in Rio de Janeiro during the World Cup, the city turns into one enormous fan zone, bringing out the true passions of soccer aficionados from all over the world who have gathered to witness the beautiful game. Especially when Brazil is playing. The great city of more than 6 million residents, with its interminable traffic jams and stunning vistas of Sugarloaf and Corcovado (the peak topped by the towering statue of Christ the Redeemer), virtually comes to a standstill. Shops are closed, everyone has the day off from work or school, and the image of the green soccer pitch is repeated thousands of times, from the jumbo screens set up on Copacabana Beach to the small TV sets in cafes, newsstands and apartments. We took the subway to Maracana Stadium on Friday, July 4, to watch France take on Germany in a quarter-final match. The game was humdrum, with Germany winning 1-0, but the spectacle was worth the price of admission. German fans wore beer kegs on their heads, while their French counterparts carried baguettes and painted their faces in the national colors of red, white and blue. A group of Mexico supporters wore oversized sombreros and posed for photos, even though their team had already exited the tournament. Leaving the stadium after the match, we were swept up in a river of humanity, buoyed along by fans singing their respective fight songs. Brazilian fans chanted over and over that their hero â&#x20AC;&#x201D; soccer legend Pele â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

scored 1,000 goals over his career, while Argentine superstar Diego Maradona did drugs. On the train ride back, a group of Americans sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Star-Spangled Bannerâ&#x20AC;? in honor of Independence Day. As the start time for the Brazil vs. Colombia match neared, people streamed toward Copacabana Beach by the tens of thousands via bus, subway and taxi. Soon, the wide, crescent-shaped beach was packed as far as the eye could see, and the crowd cheered and jeered, depending on what happened on the field. Vendors threaded their way through the dense crowd standing on the sand, carrying trays laden with caipirinhas, Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national cocktail, made with sugar cane liquor, sugar and lime juice. Industrious hawkers sold everything from shirts to mockups of the gold World Cup trophy. Those selling unlicensed merchandise scooped up their goods and ran when the police came by. Others shot rockets into the sky, and sometimes the fireworks jetted dangerously low over the heads of spectators. Protestors were also in evidence. Someone set up a mock graveyard of crosses on the beach, while a roller-skating man in a Batman suit carried a sign saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should we be the soccer nation when we have no health care or education?â&#x20AC;? in English and Portuguese. Music was everywhere, from impromptu drum circles on the beach to jazz combos playing on the boardwalk, which is paved with alternating patterns of black and white stones.

PHOTOS BY JOE TASH ten to music and found a tiny club, called Bar Bip Bip, on a side street that had been recommended by our guidebook. As promised, the place was just a store front with only a few tables. Most of the patrons milled around on the sidewalk. Two glass-fronted coolers stood at the back, and customers helped themselves to beer and wine, while the grouchy, white-bearded proprietor kept track on a clipboard from his station at a table in the front. Around 10 p.m., the music started. Eight or nine players sat around the table, singing and strumming guitars and mandolins, and playing bongos, in traditional acoustic samba tunes. The unamplified voices and instruments were audible, until a man working on a battered VW bus out front revved his engine repeatedly, drowning out the music. The bar owner made an impassioned speech, which a woman sitting next to us translated as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be quiet and listen to the music.â&#x20AC;? The crowd at Copacabana the following night was anything but quiet as Brazil prevailed 2-1 and advanced to the semifinal match, which was set for Tuesday, July 8 (after press time for this newspaper). Despite the win, there was some bad news â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Neymar, Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star player, had suffered a tournament-ending back injury. But that could wait as Brazilians and foreigners alike savored the win over Colombia, drinking, dancing and singing late into the night.

Local church campers and volunteers raise funds to battle childhood cancer BY KRISTINA HOUCK When 7-year-old Max Mikulak died a month after his family joined Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, the church and the greater community stepped up to support the local family. Nearly six years later, the local church remains a constant source of support, having hosted and participated in fundraisers for Max’s Ring of Fire, a nonprofit that Max’s parents founded after he lost his four-year battle with childhood cancer. “Sometimes, it feels like they understand without even really knowing the whole story,” said Max’s mother, Melissa Mikulak. “There’s so much compassion in everyone’s hearts.” For the 10th annual KidsGames June 23-27, a summer camp held at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, 550 children and more than 350 teen and adult volunteers raised money for Max’s Ring of Fire, which benefits pediatric cancer research and clinical trials. “Max was very sweet, very kind,” said Colleen Ster, who served as co-project manager for KidsGames with Melissa Bolt. Both Ster and Bolt previously taught Bible class, which is where they met Max. “Our goal as adults is to walk alongside the kids and to model behavior,” said Ster, a Carmel Valley mother of three, whose family has attended Solana Beach Presbyterian for nearly 12 years. “As a mother, that’s what draws me to come back every year. You can talk until you’re blue in the face, but our actions speak louder than words.” Every year, KidsGames selects a “compassion project” to give back to the community. This year, proceeds benefited Max’s Ring of Fire, which supports the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium. Led by Dr. Giselle Sholler, the group of 18 universities and children’s hospitals is based at the Helen Devos Children’s Hospital in Michigan and offers a nationwide network of childhood cancer clinical trials. Campers and volunteers sold baked goods and washed cars to raise money for the organization. “When a child relapses with neuroblastoma, there is no

PHOTOS BY KRISTINA HOUCK protocol,” Mikulak said. “There is no medicine, there is no chemotherapy, there is nothing they can give them that has been proven to do anything.” Born on June 30, 2001, Max was diagnosed with stage IV, high-risk neuroblastoma in October 2004. After treatment, he relapsed in November 2006 and entered a trial in Vermont headed by Sholler. His disease diminished during the trial until there was just one tiny spot still evident on his spine. Unfortunately, the cancer aggressively returned in February 2008, and Max died on Aug. 31, 2008, only six days after starting second grade at Solana Highlands Elementary School. “He did really well for about 18 months, and then the cancer came back even stronger. That’s when he lost his life,” Mikulak said. “But we still support her work.”

The organization’s largest fundraiser is Touch A Truck, an annual car show that recently took place June 7 at Qualcomm Stadium. During the event, children touch and honk the horns of race cars, military vehicles, public safety vehicles and more. In February, Solana Beach Presbyterian sold lemonade from a stand to benefit Max’s Ring of Fire. As of July 1, proceeds from KidsGames totaled $9,100, but the church is still collecting donations, Mikulak said. “We dearly miss our brave little soul Max, but we are thankful for the love in people’s hearts that he has helped to unlock,” Mikulak said.

To Your Health: Alleviate heartburn with a few simple lifestyle changes BY CHRISTINE STROHMEYER, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH Most of us have experienced heartburn at one time or another – that uncomfortable burning discomfort in your chest or throat, and can also be accompanied by a bitter taste in the throat. This extremely common condition is often worse when lying down or bending over and can last for a few minutes or a few hours. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, about 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month and about 15 million have daily flare-ups. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible, with more than half reporting symptoms during their second and third trimesters. The unpleasant sensation is caused an irritation of the esophagus caused by stomach acid that flows back into your food pipe. A muscular valve called the lower esophageal sphincter, located where the esophagus meets your stomach, acts like a gate allowing food to pass into the stomach. Usually, this valve closes as soon as food passes through. But, if the valve opens too often or does not close tightly enough, stomach acid can leak into the esophagus and cause heartburn. While occasional heartburn is no cause for alarm, it can be irritating, and a few simple lifestyle changes can help prevent the condition from ruining your evening. •Avoid triggers that can bring on heartburn. Triggers can vary, but common culprits include fatty, fried and processed foods, acidic foods (such as tomato sauce and spicy salsa) carbonated soda and caffeine. Coffee packs a double punch because it is acidic and has caffeine, and blended coffee drinks are a triple whammy of fat, sugar and caffeine. Patients who give up or cut back on coffee and switch to teas often find immediate relief. •Don’t eat before bed. To increase your chances of a

sweet slumber, Dr. Strohmeyer recommends waiting at least four hours after eating before your head hits the pillow. •Similarly, don’t lie down after eating. Staying upright uses the force of gravity to keep food down, so don’t stretch out on the couch after that big celebratory meal. Take a leisurely walk instead, and your stomach will thank you. Eat slowly. Think Zen when you sit down to a meal, and savor your food. An added bonus is that you will probably consume fewer calories. •Eat frequent small meals or snacks. •Lose weight. Extra weight puts pressure on the stomach and makes it more likely that food can be forced back into the esophagus. •Chew gum. A study in the medical journal Digestion found that chewing gum helped to speed up the rate at which acid was cleared from the esophagus, relieving heartburn pain. •Drink water and other liquids at room temperature to aid digestion. •Over-the-counter (OTC) medications can provide relief. Antacids, such as Mylanta and Tums, offer quick relief for some people. H-2-receptor blockers, such as Tagamet and Zantac, are stronger and can provide longer relief. Omeprazole, known by the brand name Prilosec, is the strongest OTC medication for heartburn. It works by severely decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. However, prolonged use, more than 14 days, can also decrease the absorption of important nutrients, such as calcium. It is important to maintain some acid the stomach. If there isn’t enough acid, the normal chemical reactions required to absorb nutrients are impaired. Over time, this can lead to conditions such as osteoporosis. Pregnancy and heartburn Pregnant women often experience heartburn because of

changing hormone levels, which can affect the muscles of the digestive tract and how different foods are tolerated. The condition usually disappears following childbirth. Simple steps to reducing heartburn during pregnancy without hurting your baby include: •Sleeping on your left side. •Keeping your head at least six inches higher than the foot of your bed. Holding your head above your stomach helps prevent stomach acids from rising into your chest. Seek medical care Go to the nearest emergency room if you experience severe chest pain, especially when combined with other symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or pain in the arm or jaw. See your primary care doctor if: •Heartburn occurs more than twice a week. •You have difficulty swallowing. •Heartburn is interfering with daily living. If you have heartburn on a regular and frequent basis, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, which can damage the esophagus and cause serious complications. Some people with GERD may need prescription medications to reduce symptoms. If those drugs don’t provide the relief and symptoms persist, other treatment options exist. For example, Scripps Health offers incisionless surgery for GERD that can correct the faulty valve and prevent the reoccurrence of symptoms. Be sure to consult with your physician about what the right course of treatment is for you.

Don Diego July 1 Gala Tops the Charts The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation celebrated its 28th year of awarding college scholarships to outstanding San Diego County seniors with a chart-topping Huey Lewis & the News Dinner and Concert Gala on July 1 at the San Diego County Fair (see more photos on page B18). The sold-out event was held at the Turf Club’s sixth floor Equus Room overlooking the panorama of thousands of people enjoying the fair. Don Diego Chair Paul Ecke III, who emceed the presentation (and “played” a mean Grandstand Stars-autographed guitar up for auction), told the crowd that 2014 marked a new high for Don Diego on several levels. “To date, we’ve awarded more than 150 scholarships totaling over $640,000. This year alone, by expanding our program three-fold, we awarded $40,000 to 13 students who will attend prestigious colleges around the country.” Top 2014 recipient Carolyn Kravitz will use her $10,000 scholarship to attend one of the nation’s very top schools. Stanford, which has the lowest acceptance rate in the nation, will welcome Carolyn and $2,500 scholarship recipient Noa Glaser this fall as it welcomed Don Diego recipient Meredith Lehmann in 2012. An articulate Carolyn spoke from the heart to event-goers, saying, “On behalf of all of this year’s recipients, we thank you so much for your generous support of our endeavors. The scholarships will make a huge difference in our lives.” In addition to generating the most money of any Gala through ticket purchases, the Gala raised considerable additional funds through a silent auction, followed by a not-so-silent auction conducted with energy and humor by Board member Frederick Schenk, who also serves as 22nd District Agricultural Association Board President. Donning shades a la Huey Lewis, Schenk auctioned off the last remaining bottle of award-winning “Wild Thing” wine to Barbara Harper, who acknowledged with a laugh, “I don’t even drink Rosé,” an abstract painting by Rosie the Elephant and other collectibles. Before guests descended to their VIP Grandstand seats to enjoy the concert, he raised another several thousand dollars by asking people to “contribute a bit more, for the sake of the kids,” which many enthusiastically did. Don Diego Executive Director Chana Mannen sums up the evening’s significance, saying, “We were delighted to see so many returning guests and new faces, including our scholarship recipients and their families. We shared ongoing ways such as our Legacy Brick and Amigo programs, and our silent auction, which closes July 20, 2014, to propel the future of students, our region’s agricultural traditions and our community. And from the beginning cocktail hour to the culminating Huey Lewis & the News concert enjoyed by all, we really raised the roof on fun!” The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation was named for Don Diego, AKA Tom Hernandez, who served as the Fair’s welcoming goodwill ambassador from 1947-1984. The Foundation has awarded more than $640,000 in college scholarships and grants for agricultural education since its inception in 1986. It invites people to make an investment that will pay dividends for students and the entire region.

Perfect timing is key in the kitchen The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Like everything in life, cooking, baking and food preparation is no exception – timing must be perfect. Slice an avocado prematurely and it’s hard and bitter, past its prime and it’s mushy and brown. A door slamming at the very scintilla of time when a soufflé is critically rising, can convert the airy delicacy into a pancake, while a salad dressed too long before serving will limp along in a soggy mound. The Time is Ripe Relish your favorite fruits bursting with sweet juiciness by becoming savvy about their ideal ripeness. Watermelon, the season’s quintessential treat won’t ripen anymore once plucked from the vine since it doesn’t contain ethylene like bananas or apples. So pick a winner by tapping the side, listening for a hollow sound. It should also have good heft and a nice yellow belly. For cantaloupes scope out heavy, solid spheres with a sweet musky aroma. A strong sweet smell means it’s overripe. Perfectly ripe peaches should have a rich golden glow tinged with a pinky blush, a nice rounded shape, and give slightly to finger

pressure. You can also buy them green and firm, and let them ripen to your druthers at home. For picking pineapples if one of the center leaves can be plucked with ease, then it’s ready, Freddy; if it needs to be yanked out, then it’s not quite ripe. But smell is the key. Like Baby bear’s porridge, it has to smell just right—an overripe one has a vinegar smell, an under ripe one is practically odorless, while a perfectly ripe pineapple has a sweet, tropical aroma. Finally, an avocado should give slightly to pressure, but still be firm. If it squishes in your palm, it’s toast. Use Your Noodle Since not all pastas are created equal, they must be treated differently in the pot of rolling boiling water. In addition, pasta texture preferences determine the length of boiling time. For those who enjoy al dente (chewy, to the teeth) boil for shorter periods than those who like a softer, more limp noodle. Hearty, whole grain pastas are tougher than white durum wheat and tender egg noodles, requiring more cooking time. Delicate “angel hair” cooks up in 2 to 3 minutes, while fettuccine, penne or rigatoni needs at least 7 minutes. And noodles that are going to be subsequently baked like lasagna or ziti should be somewhat undercooked. Grilling Time A mere minute longer on the grill can spoil a carnivore’s preference or create carcinogenic charred offerings. Degrees of doneness for beef include the following line-up: • “Very rare” when the bovine is still mooing, and could practically be revived by a competent vet (internal temperature 130 degrees Fahrenheit) • “Rare” is 140 degrees F, very red center and juices red too • “Medium rare” 145 degree F with a warm pink center • “Medium” 160 degrees F • “Well” 170 degrees F and “very well” 180 degrees F, no longer having any pink while the juices run clear Standing advice – cook to recommended temperatures for food safety depending upon the types of meat. Tea Time Steeping tea is an art form. For loose leaves, the larger the leaf, the longer the brewing time. Brew Earl Gray and Lady Gray for about 5 minutes, and more delicate leaves for 4 minutes. For tea bags, the more robust, darker teas like black should steep for 3 to 5 minutes, while lighter green or white just 2-3 minutes. Never brew too long to prevent bitterness. Just Desserts One of the most common baking faux pas is burning the bottoms of cookies. This maddening problem can be avoided by setting moderate temperatures, around 300 degrees F, lining the baking sheet with parchment paper, and giving the cookies plenty of elbowroom. Babysit them until the edges turn brown then remove from the oven. Immediately transfer to a cooling rack so they won’t continue to bake on the sheet.

graduates as well as the new class of Guardian Scholars in front of an intimate audience of about 100 people including sponsors and private donors. A total of 12 students graduated this year with three of the Guardian Scholars continuing their education through the program. Seventy former foster youth were awarded into this year’s 2014-15 program. The ceremony provided the opportunity to honor these youth who have overcome so many obstacles in their lives and have set their sights on their future and success. This year’s class of Guardian Scholars will head off to universities such as University of California, Irvine and University of California, San Diego to pursue careers as lawyers, communications, business administration, nursing and social work. For most of these foster youth, college never seemed like an option until they found out about Promises2Kids Guardian Scholars. Recent statistics show over 50 percent of college students rely on their families for financial support. What if you didn’t have that family to support you? Guardian

Scholars offers that extended family to former foster youth by providing the financial support and encouragement a family would typically provide. It is the safety net and support network they need to thrive emotionally and succeed educationally. For those who graduated this year, this day most likely would not have been possible without the support of Promises2Kids. As part of its mission to create a brighter future for foster youth in San Diego County, Promises2Kids’ Guardian Scholars provides a network of resources that encourages foster youth to pursue higher education through community college, trade school or a university degree. The highly successful program provides former foster youth with a partial financial scholarship along with critical multi-faceted support through mentoring, SAT prep, college planning and financial aid workshops to assist them in adapting to and excelling in a higher education setting. Guardian Scholars exposes these college bound foster youth to higher education and career opportunities they might not otherwise explore. “When these children leave foster care, they face even more challenges as adults. They’re completely alone. Promises2Kids Guardian Scholars changes their

odds for success. We provide hope – we provide the types of things youth look for from a family – emotional and financial support,” said Tonya Torosian, CEO, Promises2Kids. “Currently for every youth Promises2Kids is able to support through Guardian Scholars, we have to turn away two aspiring youth due to limited funding. This next year, the commitment is to increase the support to a total of 100 youth who have the commitment to higher education.” Due to generous support of Promises2Kids Guardian Scholars from Qualcomm, Sleep Train, Ashford University, Stuart Foundation and ICW Group, the program realized a 50 percent increase in the number of students funded for this coming year. Promises2Kids goal is to award 100 students this next year. Another exciting recent addition to the Promises2Kids program is Junior Guardian Scholars. Fifteen students who are entering their senior year of high school will continue in this innovative immersion program for 2014-15. Another 10 who piloted the program expansion, will graduate high school, a 100 percent graduation rate compared the to national average of 50 percent, will be beginning college in the fall and are a part

of those who were awarded. “When I have had some down moments, Promises2Kids Guardian Scholars was there to help. I could always count on Guardian Scholars to be there when I needed. Not just financially but emotionally as well. I am deeply grateful for everything I have been given by Guardian Scholars,” shared Rebekah, another foster youth whose journey through foster care was long and arduous. She was placed in foster care at the age of 2 and aged out after graduating from high school. Rebekah went through eight foster homes and several group homes, having had multiple foster siblings. Despite these obstacles, Rebekah has persevered and is now pursuing a master’s degree to continue her work with children who have autism. At the June 27 ceremony, there were plenty of tears of joy as each Guardian Scholar took a moment at the lectern to introduce them selves — and share their dream for their future.

How to Create a Fire Safe Landscape Due to hot weather, strong winds and the drought, San Diego, recently experienced a series of devastating fires. With no end to the drought in sight and now that summer has arrived, it’s up to us to do everything we can to protect San Diego and our homes from fires in the upcoming months. One way is to make our landscaping fire safe. Here are some valuable tips to help you protect your home against fire: Plant selection: Plants native to your location and elevation are generally considered the most fire resistant. Succulents are also a good option. There are many beautiful, colorful, fire-resistant plants to choose from. Some options are ice plant,

which is a groundcover with succulent leaves and bright daisy-like flowers; Lavender, which has a wonderful scent; and Bearberry, which is a mat-forming groundcover with small green leaves that turn red and winter and white to pinkish in spring. To fill up the spaces between plants, there are beautiful decorative rock and stone options. You can also be wonderfully creative with diversity of plant types and colors. Make sure to use mulches to conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. Do not use Pine bark, thick layers of Pine needles, or other mulches that readily carry fire. Of course, all plants must be sufficiently watered. Maintenance: Grass planted close to homes, garages, decks, firewood piles, shrubs and trees should be maintained at 3 inches or lower. Leaf litter and dead wood should be gathered, and sprouts at the base of trees should also be removed. Tree canopies should be raised to expose bare trunk above lower growing shrubbery. Canyon clearing: In San Diego, there are 900 miles of wild land-urban interface, which is where canyons meet some of our backyards. The drought has increased the

flammability of the canyon’s vegetation. In addition to maintaining your home’s landscaping, it’s also important to maintain the canyons. You can do this by clearing dead wood and dead vegetation, cutting down 50 percent of plants to 6 inches high, and thinning plants (your priority being non-native species and flammable native species). Ensure fire department access (defensible space): Oftentimes homeowners resist creating defensible space because they are afraid it will be unattractive. Of course, it doesn’t have to be. This is the area around the house to reduce fire danger and to allow firefighters to do their job. A minimum of a 4’ clearance is required. Remember, a fire fighter may need to drag a fire hose around your home, so leave room for this important task. It may also mean that the plants near your home need to be spaced farther apart and be lower growing than the plants farther away from your home. Check distance to the nearest fire hydrant: Do you know where your nearest fire hydrant is? You should! In the event of a fire, the firefighters may need to be

instructed where to find the nearest hydrant. Make sure there’s at least 3’ of clearance around the hydrant. Reduce the chance of flames or embers igniting your home: If you have wood fencing, make sure it’s not close to or under the eaves of your home. Wood fencing has a large surface area and is very flammable. You can replace wood fencing in these areas with ornamental iron fencing. Do not store fire wood near your home for obvious reasons. One of the most important things you can do to defend your home against fire damage is to make sure all of the exterior vents to your home (roof, eave and wall) are screened with a fine mesh material. Without this barrier, hot embers can enter your vents and start fires within the attic and walls of your home. If you have any questions about making your landscape fire safe for summer, please don’t hesitate to contact us. For more information about our company and services, visit our website at NatureDesigns. Net or give us a call at (760) 945-4321.
