Survey: Community doesn’t support bond for new RSF School gym at this time BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District has received the results from its community interest survey on the possibility to rebuild the school gym. At a July 21 special board meeting, Superintendent Lindy Delaney reported that 54.3 percent of the community is not interested in supporting a bond on the November ballot at this time. “The results showed us the interest in the community for fixing up the gym is not as strong as we had hoped to see,” Delaney said. “I think the community

spoke and said ‘Please wait.’” Delaney said the community has been wonderful to the district and showed great support in building the new campus and the performing arts center, and at this time, “waiting is the best thing to do.” The survey questioned participants about two options for the gym. Option one was to build a $19.2 million state-of-the-art twocourt facility, including space for locker rooms and the wrestling and dance See GYM, page 30

Many parents relieved by admission of wait-listed high school freshmen BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District found a way to get all 190 wait-listed freshmen into their schools of choice — a big relief for the frustrated parents of disappointed students who have now gained admittance to San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy this fall. “I wish you all could’ve been there when I gave my

Istanford wins San Clemente Handicap BY KELLEY CARLSON Istanford led from start to finish in the Grade II, $200,000 San Clemente Handicap on July 19 at Del Mar, the first graded stakes race of the meet. Tepin was 2½ lengths back in second, while My Conquestadory edged favorite Diversy Harbor for third. The 3-year-old Istanford, ridden by Rafael Bejarano, finished the mile in 1:33.83, which was run on the newly expanded turf course. “(Istanford) beat the boys at Arlington Park (Grade

III Arlington Classic, May 24) and didn’t get any respect,” said trainer Michael Stidham’s assistant, Chris Davis, referring to the 10-1 odds and $22.80 win payoff. “She beat some very good (males) in that race.” Istanford, owned by a partnership of Janet and Sam Alley and Dawn and Ike Thrash, may next run in the Grade I $300,000 Del Mar Oaks on Aug. 16. Other stakes races during opening weekend included the Osunitas Stakes on July 19, won by Cozze Up Lady, and the Grade I, $300,000 Eddie Read Stakes on July 20, won by Tom’s Tribute.

RSF attorney obtains a $26 million judgment against City of Los Angeles Longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident Michael D. Myers obtained a $26 million judgment against the City of Los Angeles for violations of labor laws on behalf of 1,100 sanitation truck drivers. “This case is unusual only because of the length of time it took and the amount of people involved” Myers said. “We are very satisfied with the final result of litigation which started in 2006. The roads will be safer as we will not have hungry and exhausted truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel right next to your car while driving on the freeway. This was a very complicated matter which was taken by the City on several occasions to the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.” In addition to paying back wages and interest to the drivers, the City of Los Angeles is permanently enjoined from enforcing any rules that would prohibit sanitation drivers from sleeping while on meal breaks and enforcing any rules relating to the number of drivers who may take rest periods together. Myers moved to Rancho Santa Fe from the Hollywood Hills in 1994, with his wife Lili and their children Monique and Alexander.

San Dieguito Union High School District cap and gown refunds coming BY KAREN BILLING The check is in the mail from the San Dieguito Union High School District for those families requesting a refund from graduation cap and gown rental, according to Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. A Uniform Complaint against the district was filed by non-district parent Sally Smith last May on the subject of the district levying improper fees. Dill said a review determined that the district was “compliant in all areas” except for the cap and gown fees. At the July 17 San Dieguito Union High School District board meeting, Dill said the district had received 315 refund requests and they are in the process of refunding the rental fees, an amount of just under $15,000.

Irrigation District receives national award in financial reporting for eighth year The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented the Santa Fe Irrigation District the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the District’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This is the eighth year successively that SFID has received this award. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by the district and its management. An Award of Financial Reporting Achievement has also been awarded to the District’s Administrative Services Manager, Jeanne L. Deaver, for her responsibility in preparing the award-winning CAFR. The award program was established in 1945 to encourage and assist state and local governments to go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare comprehensive annual financial reports that motion the spirit of transparency and full disclosure and to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal.

The CAFR was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and to motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR. The Government Finance Officers Association is a non-profit professional association serving nearly 17,400 government finance professionals throughout North America. The Santa Fe Irrigation District provides water and related services to residential, commercial and agricultural customers in the communities of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. The district serves about 20,000 customers in a 16-square-mile area. The district supplies over 4.5 billion gallons (or 13,500 acre feet) of water per year to its customers, using a blend of local water from Lake Hodges and imported water purchased through the San Diego County Water Authority. The district operates the jointly owned R.E. Badger Filtration Plant, a 40-million-gallon-per-day water-treatment plant. The district owns rights to local water supplies from Lake Hodges and the San Dieguito Reservoir.

Best-selling author Jojo Moyes discusses her novels with fans at Del Mar Country Club luncheon BY LOIS ALTER MARK “On my last book tour, I had a day off in Portland and it was very nice,” said best-selling novelist Jojo Moyes at a luncheon recently held at the Del Mar Country Club. Then she paused, looked around and added, “But I can tell you, a day off in La Jolla is better.” The British author definitely knows how to please an audience. That’s evidenced not just by the warm welcome her comment received from the dozens of fans who came to hear her speak at the Warwick’s-sponsored event at the Del Mar Country Club, or by the fact that this is her third visit to San Diego in as many years, but most tellingly, by the millions of books she’s sold. At the age of 45, Moyes has already written 11 novels, including the beloved “Me Before You,” an emotional rollercoaster of a novel responsible for passionate book club discussions and plenty of tears all around the globe. But she was here to talk about her latest novel, “One Plus One,” and she started by explaining the inspiration behind it. “I wanted to write a book about a mum,” she said. “I feel that mums get quite the raw deal in literature. In fairy tales, they’re usually dead. ‘Harry Potter?’ Dead. Oh, one of my favorite books, ‘The Goldfinch’ — chapter one? Dead. “So I wanted to represent the mothers I know who are really kind of heroic. They’re just getting on with life, they’re putting food on the table, they’re cheerful, they get a multitude of stuff done. I also wanted to write a book about a family that was not necessarily a conventional family. Because, while my husband and I might be a conventional family — there’s me, him and our three kids — my own family is, I think the modern term is, blended. So I have stepbrothers and half-sisters. We have relationships in our family that we can’t even work out what the word is.” In “One Plus One,” Jess is basically a single mother, although she’s still married. Her husband went off to find

At the luncheon: (L-R) Marci Laulom, Jojo Moyes, Debbie Sigal, Veronica Leff. Photo by Lois Alter Mark himself a couple of years ago, and she’s working two jobs to try to get her math-whiz daughter into private school and keep her mascara-wearing son away from the neighborhood bullies. “She just wants to keep her kids on the straight and narrow,” explained Moyes, “and she’s faced with the same problem all mums face, which is how do you give enough time to your kids when you’re busy working?” Moyes credits her husband for helping to provide that balance in their lives. “I wake up at six, and he wakes up at five to six,” she said. “He makes the coffee, brings it upstairs with my laptop, moves my head, puts a pillow behind me, puts my laptop on my lap, opens it up, hands me the coffee and says, ‘Go.’” Once the stunned audience finished picturing their

own husbands doing all that, the questions came flying. Many were about Moyes’ writing process. She usually writes at least 500 words a day. A former journalist, she never saw herself becoming a novelist but always loved telling stories. Her best advice for aspiring writers? “Just do it. Don’t think of the big picture. Just sit down and say to yourself, ‘I’m going to write one page today.’ By the end of the year, you’ll have a 365-page book. Even if it’s rubbish.” And, of course, her fans wanted to talk about “Me Before You.” That plot revolves around a news story Moyes heard in 2008 while driving her kids home from school. After several years of living as a quadriplegic, a young man had persuaded his parents to take him to a Dignitas — a center for assisted suicide. “I was just profoundly shocked, because I couldn’t believe that any parent would agree to help a child end their life,” said Moyes. “So I did more research and realized that, as much as I wanted this to be a black and white issue, with a right and a wrong, I just couldn’t make it work. It was a big gray area.” Although her publisher was underwhelmed by the idea, the story felt important to Moyes, who was compelled to write it. Three million copies and thousands of grateful emails later, the book has changed Moyes’ life and she is writing the screenplay for MGM. So what’s next for the prolific writer? “I’m writing another book, but I can’t talk about it,” she apologized. “I’m really superstitious, and, although I’ve written about 30,000 words, I’ve deleted about another 60,000.” She did admit that she had figured out a key plot point since she’d been in San Diego, so who knows? Maybe her next book will be titled, like the blog post she just wrote on JojoMoyes.com, “The Joys of La Jolla.” For more information, visit www.jojomoyes.com.

RSF Children’s Library hosts author Jenny Craig BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Children’s Library hosted author Jenny Craig on July 15 for a reading and book signing of her children’s book, “I Believe in Genevieve,” the story of how a young girl named Genevieve and her horse learn about getting strong and eating nutritiously in order to reach their equestrian expectations. “I have always loved horses and have been involved as an owner for over 40 years,” said Craig, the Rancho Santa Fe resident and founder of the successful Jenny Craig weight loss program. “Hors- Jessica and Melissa Kindelan with their es are very special to me and as children love ani- handcrafted horse bookmarks. mals and especially horses, I thought I could use them as a metaphor for healthy eating, a healthy lifestyle and moving your body. It’s important for children to be active.” Craig explained that the horse in the book, Candy Ride, is named after one of her real-life horses. Candy Ride now lives in Kentucky and is a successful breeding stallion. Many of the children in attendance were very interested in Craig’s horses — while she couldn’t name all of them for the kids, she did mention that her horses Holy Candy and Ethnic Dance would be running soon at the Del Mar Racetrack. Hagen Lindeman and Aubree Magnaghi. Craig donated signed books for attendees to purchase — all of the proceeds from the sale went back to the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild. July 15 was designated “I Love Horses Day” at the library and kids could snack on apple slices just like the horse and Genevieve do in the book. Children at the event also had the opportunity to make their own horse bookmark using colored popsicle sticks, horse cut-outs, googly eyes and manes made of strands of yarn. Photos by Karen Billing.

Former local resident to represent U.S. in inaugural European Peace Walk BY KRISTINA HOUCK A former local resident has been selected to represent the United States in an international peace walk to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I. As the U.S. ambassador in the inaugural European Peace Walk, Ruthi Solari will join more than 100 individuals representing other countries in a 23-day, 341-mile trek across Europe. “I’m tremendously honored to represent the U.S. in the walk,� said Solari, founder and executive director of SuperFood Drive, a nonprofit that works to make healthy food accessible to all. “It’s recognition for what I’ve done so far, promoting equality and peace. But it’s also an invitation to really keep paving the way.� Kicking off July 28, the European Peace Walk goes through six European countries, starting in Vienna, Austria, and then passing through Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia before ending at the Mediterranean Sea in Trieste, Italy. The walk is also open to the public, with participants starting every day for two weeks. “I’m looking forward to connecting with people along the way. All these people have stories of their families being torn apart and what it felt like to live through the World Wars,� said Solari, who added that her grandparents fled Germany during World War II. The Europeans “are so excited this peace initiative is coming through their land. They want to share their stories.� During the walk, Solari hopes to raise $5,000 for Women for Women International, a nonprofit humanitarian organization that provides financial aid, job training, rights awareness and leadership education to female survivors of war. Promoting peace and female empowerment has always been important to Solari, just like promoting health, she said. A nutritionist, she launched SuperFood Drive in 2009. The San Diego-based nonprofit supports hunger relief organizations by sourcing and providing healthy food for people in need.

to celebrate the present European culture of peace. After its inaugural year, walk organizers plan to open the route annually, in hopes it will become a popular destination for hikers globally. “I hope people walk it for generations to come,� Solari said. “I also hope it increases dialogue, not just about the past, but about what peace looks like today and how it should look in the future.� For more about the European Peace Walk, visit www. peacewalk.eu.

She later studied at the Natural Healing Institute in Encinitas, becoming a certified nutritionist. She has since earned her master’s in mind-body medicine from Saybrook University in San Francisco. She now lives with her husband in Switzerland, and learned about the European Peace Walk while attending an event hosted by the Future of Human Rights Forum in Geneva. After further research, she decided to volunteer and was eventually chosen as the U.S. ambassador for the walk. “Most of the changes I’ve seen have all come from grass-roots initiatives,� Solari said. “So when I saw that that’s what this was, it spoke to my soul. Not only is it an opportunity for a personal journey, but it’s an opportunity to really raise awareness.� The European Peace Walk is a cross-border initiative set on creating a walkway along the borders of Central Europe

Local family to host orphaned child from Colombia this summer •Kidsave program seeks to connect children with potential families BY KAREN BILLING A local couple is hoping to give an orphaned Colombian child a chance to find an adoptive family this summer. Suzanne Bacon and Jared Jacobsen are participating as a host family in the Summer Miracles program of Kidsave, an organization that brings older orphanage and foster kids to the United States to give them an opportunity to become a part of a loving family. Bacon and Jacobsen will host 12-year-old Sebastian for a month starting Aug. 1. Sebastian is just one of 31 Colombian children who are coming to the country with Kidsave this summer. The number of children who come is determined by the families who volunteer to host them, so every spot truly counts. “I do feel like we’re making a difference,” Jacobsen said. “We’re looking forward to giving someone that opportunity. It was especially attractive to me because they’re older kids who are getting to the end of their childhood; it’s a last chance to have a family.” Just seven children are coming to California and only three to Southern California — Jacobsen and Bacon are the only San Diego family participating as hosts this summer. The biggest group of children (16) will be in the Washington, D.C., metro area and the rest dispersed throughout the country, according to Delta Kirkland, the Summer Miracles program assistant manager. While the children are in the U.S., they will be attending weekend advocacy events, and families interested in meeting the kids are invited to attend and get to know them. Kidsave, with offices in D.C. and Los Angeles, was founded in 1997; its first program year was 1999. This is Kidsave’s 16th summer presenting the Summer Miracles program. The program has brought children from Russia and Kazakhstan in the past, but now focuses its efforts on Colombia. Many children live in orphanages in Colombia, as they have lost parents because of civil conflict and HIV/AIDS.

Suzanne Bacon and Jared Jacobsen will host a child from Colombia this summer as part of the Kidsave Summer Miracles program, which seeks to connect children with potential families. Courtesy photo Others are abandoned because of extreme poverty, parental drug abuse or arrest, or are left without homes after serving time as child combatants. “We saw a need in Colombia, especially for ‘older’ children,” Kirkland said. “It’s challenging in any country to find adoptable families for older children … The kids in our program go up to age 14, so this is really the last opportunity they have to find a family.” In Colombia, orphans are emancipated from the child welfare system at age 18. Many leave orphanages without an education, unable to support themselves and with no caring adult to guide them. Kidsave is not an adoption agency, but it coordinates

with highly accredited agencies as well as the Colombian government to work as advocates for people who are looking to complete the adoption journey, Kirkland said. Kirkland said there have been many happy success stories over the years. “Seventy-five to 80 percent (of the kids in the program) have found families, so it’s a very effective family visit model,” Kirkland said. One host participant last year, Adam in New York, adopted 13-year-old Cristian in November 2013 after his onemonth summer stay. He said Kidsave was an extremely powerful volunteer opportunity, the process was amazing and there was no doubt that Cristian was the son he was meant to have. “My heart melted the first time that I was called father,” Adam said on the Kidsave website. Another success story, Galina from Kazakhstan, lived in horrible conditions in an orphanage after her father overdosed and her mother was not fit to take care of her. “No child should have to live this way. Not when there are other options. Not when there is hope,” Galina wrote. “Kidsave was my hope.” Galina visited the U.S. in 2003 with Summer Miracles and was adopted as a 9-year-old. She said that, for the first time, she felt love unconditionally. Today she is a freshman at Pepperdine University. Jacobsen and Bacon do not have children of their own and have lived in Carmel Valley since 2002. Bacon works at UC San Diego in the alumni and community engagement department. She has been involved in nonprofits such as the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library and Survivors of Torture International. Jacobsen is a former teacher and filmmaker who also does statistical educational research. The couple also lived in Mexico for a year in 2003-04

Community Concerts of RSF opens new season with pop, opera, Broadway performers BY GAIL KENDALL, PRESIDENT, CCRSF Community Concerts 2014-15 season is just around the corner, but soon a group of board members and spouses will be heading to Nashville, Tenn., to select the 2015-16 season. We are all so excited about the upcoming season, one we think is the best ever, and we’re told the talent being presented this summer by our agency, Live On Stage, is even better than last year’s selection. Artists come from across the U.S. and even around the world to give a live performance for 15 minutes to nearly 200 community concert groups. From this we must select what we think our RSF audience will love, and then maybe cross our fingers a little bit! No matter your genre of preference, we think this is a blockbuster year and all of our concerts will please everyone! As usual, all concerts will be held at the newly renovated Fellowship Hall of the Village Church. The Community Concerts season kicks off in a spectacular fashion on Sept. 19 with the exciting new popopera star Fernando Varela. He has been described as “Pavarotti at 21.� He handles the operatic arias with beautiful ease. Varela has been mentored by the best in opera, including Placido Domingo. However, he is equally comfortable with country, pop, and Broadway. His artistry has been described as a gift from God, with humility and a good work ethic. Catch him live and be ready to be moved by his amazing captivating voice: www.fernandovarela.com. Quality entertainment continues with Susan Egan on Oct. 24. Susan is a veteran of the Broadway stage, having starred in the title role of “Thoroughly Modern Millie,� winning critical acclaim as Broadway’s longest-running Sally Bowles in “Cabaret,� and, most notably, has received both Tony Award and Drama Desk nominations for Best Actress as the original Belle in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.� Egan starred alongside Carol Burnett in Sondheim’s “Putting It Together,� and with Tommy Tune in the national tour of “Bye, Bye Birdie.� Susan left Broadway for a while to raise two young daughters. She’s adorable, her voice and stage presence beyond fantastic. Going into 2015 we present Alex DePue with Miguel DeHoyos on Jan. 23. With DeHoyos on classical guitar, DePue, a world-renowned violinist/fiddler, leads the duo through an array of styles — classical, bluegrass, and rock — with blazing virtuosity and emotion.

Helen Woodward CEO invited to speak at Canadian business school In late July, Helen Woodward Animal Center President and CEO Mike Arms will board a flight to Victoria, British Columbia, to speak at the Global Leaders Festival at the University of Victoria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business. An internationally accredited organization, ranked among the top business schools in Canada, the school prides itself on a professional focus of an all-encompassing worldview and a social responsibility to “do the right thing.” The school is a natural fit for Arms, who has dedicated his life to revolutionizing animal welfare and is known worldwide for his business-focused approach to revamping the shelter system to put an end to unnecessary euthanasia. Arms will speak to the class of 150 undergraduate business students on Thursday, July 31. University of Victoria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business was founded in 1990 with an educational approach relying on four value pillars: international, integrative, innovative and sustainability/social responsibility. These values have been incorporated throughout the school’s program in course content, in teaching style, in developing students’ global mindset and in areas of specialization. The school’s Helen Woodward Animal vision is to “pioneer business education that creates sustain- Center President and CEO able value,” and to instruct their students to become “posi- Mike Arms with an tive agents of change.” adoptable puppy. The decision to invite Helen Woodward Animal Center’s president to speak at the Global Leaders Festival is a very special one. Arms, who is known for his heartfelt and motivational speeches, has served as the keynote speaker at animal welfare organizations and veterinary colleges across the globe. However, this is the first time a business-focused college has approached him for his business mind, and Arms feels especially honored to accept the invitation. Arms is a shining example of Gustavson’s principles as a world-renowned pioneer in the animal welfare industry. He is responsible for creating the International Pet Adoptathon; the International Home 4 The Holidays program which, in partnership with national animal organizations, has placed more than 9.3 million pets in homes since 1999; and most recently, the International Remember Me Thursday Campaign — holding candle-lighting ceremonies across the world for healthy orphan pets who lost their lives to euthanasia. Arms also began the Business of Saving Lives Workshops at Helen Woodward Animal Center in 2001, offering free quarterly three-day workshops (taught by Center management team members) on the Rancho Santa Fe grounds. For more than 12 years, animal lovers, shelter workers, and humanitarians have made the “pilgrimage” to learn more effective

ways to increase adoptions and lower euthanasia. The workshops have attracted shelter workers from throughout the United States and as far away as Argentina, China, Ethiopia, India, Ireland, Kenya, Romania, and Singapore. Workshop graduates report sweeping, business-changing results, placing more pets in lifelong homes, generating added funds to carry on their programs, and expanding their reach into their communities. “The mistake we make is thinking that we need to use our hearts, when it is actually our minds that make the difference,” said Arms. “I look forward to meeting this bright group of students. I dedicate my mind to orphan pets every day, and every year I see forward movement in the industry. The sky is the limit for these students if they put their minds to making a positive change in the world.” For information on Helen Woodward Animal Center or President and CEO Mike Arms, visit www.animalcenter.org, call 858-756-4117 or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho

Future of Brady Aiken, former Cathedral Catholic pitcher and Number 1 MLB Draft Pick, now unclear BY ROB LEDONNE The future of Brady Aiken, the former star pitcher for Cathedral Catholic High School who was named the No. 1 Major League Baseball draft pick in June, is now uncertain after a deal collapsed between Aiken and the team that drafted him, the Houston Astros. In what became a national sports story and a top trending United States topic on Twitter late last week, the deadline for Aiken signing a contract with the Astros came and went without a deal. This, after the 17-yearold pitcher was the toast of the sports world and the hottest prospect in baseball, and a contract with the Astros seemed inevitable. Signing the deal, which would have netted Aiken about $8 million, hinged on a physical which at first seemed like a mere technicality. However, the Astros soon raised concerns regarding a “significant abnormality” in Aiken’s elbow. Considering that Aiken’s pitch was last clocked in at 97 mph and was cleared to be in top shape by outside physicians, baseball observers saw the Astros’ concerns as a negotiating tactic in hopes of decreasing Aiken’s hefty price tag. The collapse of the deal means Aiken becomes just the third No. 1 prospect in Major League Baseball draft history to go unsigned. Casey Close, who serves as a family advisor to Aiken, said in a statement, “Brady has been seen by some of the most experienced and respected orthopedic arm specialists in the country, and all of those doctors have acknowledged that he’s not injured and that he’s ready to start his professional career.” The collapse of the deal is also in stark contrast to the feelings of Astros manager Jeff Luhnow, who said to the media upon signing Aiken that he was “the most advanced high school pitcher I’ve ever seen in my entire career.” As consensus began to grow that the Astros’ concerns were faulty, negative reaction came swiftly in national sports media. Tom Ley, writer for sports website Deadspin, noted in a recent post that “pretty much every pitcher has abnormalities in their arm if you want to go looking for them,” with Yahoo! MLB columnist Jeff Passen tweeting, “There is no other way to put it: Without signing Brady Aiken or others, this draft was a

Signing with the Astros would have meant an $8 million deal for Brady Aiken. Photo by Jon Clark complete and unequivocal disaster for the Astros.” In the media, Close’s frustration is apparent, saying, “We are extremely disappointed that Major League Baseball is allowing the Astros to conduct business in this manner with a complete disregard for the rules governing the draft and the 29 other clubs who have followed those same rules.” In the Astros’ defense, Luhnow recently said, “We did nothing unethical, we did nothing disingenuous. We tried to sign good players at the appropriate values and that’s all we ever do with the draft.” Aiken is the former star pitcher for the Cathedral Catholic High School baseball team, graduating from the school in June. In a recent interview with the Del Mar Times, Aiken’s high school coach, Gary Remiker, had high praise for his star player. “Based on natural talent alone, he’d be one of the better pitchers in San Diego,” Remiker said then. “However, that can only get you so far, because what set Brady apart was his work ethic ... He constantly avoided many of the temptations a senior in high school may come across.” Where Aiken goes now is unclear, with many guessing he could either sit out a year and wait for another shot in the 2015 draft, or enroll at UCLA where he would play on the university’s baseball team, a prospect Aiken raised when talking to the Del Mar Times in May before being named the No. 1 pick. “It’s been a goal since I was little to get drafted and play professional baseball,” he said at the time. “Everything I’ve done (throughout my life) has helped me get where I am today.”

These alarming statistics prompted Shelter to Soldier to provide alternative medicine through psychiatric service dogs. Shelter to Soldier founder Graham Bloem explains, “Our 2014-2015 goals are to place Charlie, Sandy, Kira, Calver, Charger and Tank, our six dogs currently in training, and to train 10 additional new dogs. Our long-term goal is to grow the program to a national level, and to finalize the opening of our dog training school that will offer job placement opportunities to top graduates with an emphasis on recruiting veteran students.” Perhaps a text message Bloem received from a recently enrolled veteran sums it up best: ‘I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for us sir; I seriously think Ty saved my life,’ from retired USMC Cpl.

Motorcyclist killed in accident near Del Mar Fairgrounds BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The motorcyclist killed in a two-vehicle crash near the Del Mar Fairgrounds over the weekend was identified July 21 as a 22-year-old Escondido man. Alexander Mackenzie Williams was headed west on Via de la Valle near Jimmy Durante Boulevard at a high rate of speed shortly before 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 20, when he lost control and swerved into oncoming traffic, according to the Medical Examiner’s Office and the sheriff’s department. Sheriff’s officials said it is possible that Williams had been riding in tandem with another rider or racing another rider just before the crash. He could have struck a cone being used for traffic control near the Del Mar Racetrack, they added. Williams was thrown from the motorcycle and landed under the front end of a stopped Hyundai, sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Tomaiko said. Williams’ motorcycle then crashed into an eastbound Toyota sedan, then two other vehicles. Williams died at the scene, authorities said. Tomaiko said none of the other vehicles’ occupants were injured and that alcohol was not believed to have been a factor in the crash.

Former Navy SEALs perform skydive into Del Mar Racetrack A team of former US Navy SEALs from Skydiving Innovations performed a spectacular skydive on July 20 above the Del Mar Racetrack, to celebrate the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation and US Marines Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) Foundation’s Day at the Races for special operators and their families. This was the first joint event of special operators and their families from the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation and the MARSOC Foundation. The skydive featured a free fall with smoke from 6,000 feet, with opening parachutes at 2,500 feet, then a landing with a “We Support Our Troops� banner. Skydivers also executed a biplane formation with smoke, and flew in with all five military service flags on a lanyard below him; with the performance culminating with one skydiver slowly descending with the giant 2,500-square-foot American flag. All members of the Skydiving Innovations team landed on the Del Mar race track, right in front of the Grandstands. Following the skydive, one family from both the SEALNSW Family Foundation and MARSOC were honored at the race track’s Winner’s Circle. For more information, visit www.marsocfoundation.org.

Opening Day Style at Del Mar Del Mar’s racing season kicked off in style once again with one of the area’s biggest social events, Opening Day on July 17. It’s a feast for the eyes, from the colorful parade of fancy hats and jockey silks, to celebrity sightings. Not to mention parties that took place everywhere, on and off the track, all day long and well into the evening. The centerpiece of the seaside oval’s celebration was 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 were Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous, Most Glamorous, Best Flowers/All Others and Best Fascinator. Photos by Jon Clark.

ADMISSION continued from page 1

approval for new buildings at Canyon Crest and San Dieguito, provided by Prop AA funding, giving the district a long-term capacity solution to allow it to build bigger classes of 2018, 2019 and 2020. “We are confident that we can accommodate all students who select the academies at grade nine,” Schmitt said. “The solution is a fair one, a just one and it is about supporting kids.” While some parents used the word “miracle” to describe the solution, it was actually the result of a lot of hard work, said trustee Beth Hergesheimer. Schmitt said Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services and district staff, took the time to re-evaluate room use, work on master schedules and look at locations of special programs. Some classrooms will be consolidated, and teachers will share teaching space as needed. “I would like to thank the teachers for their flexibility,” Schmitt said. “They also believe that ninth-grade students should get their first-choice high school.” Schmitt also thanked the parent community for advocating so strongly for their children. In June, several parents questioned the high school selection and lottery process after 65 students did not get into San Dieguito, and 125 students were wait-listed at Canyon Crest Academy. A community meeting was organized and the parents asked the district to explore the possibility of changing San Dieguito High School Academy to a boundary school. As it stands, the district’s two academies are non-boundary schools and any student in the district can apply to attend. If demand exceeds capacity, the district by law must conduct an unbiased lottery. Schmitt said issues related to boundaries are complex, but the district is willing to examine high school enrollment through an adhoc task force and a community-wide survey to see whether the district wants to continue to have “schools of choice.” “It’s a puzzle of many pieces that has to be approached deliberately and thoughtfully,” said board member Barbara Groth. “I’m happy to hear there is community support for finding a

long-term solution … It’s cool to hear that kids want to be at a school. It’s gratifying beyond our expectations.” As parent Bush noted, it wasn’t just the parents of wait-listed children who spoke up in the past few months, but the entire community, which he felt was “remarkable.” Encinitas resident Simeon Greenstein said he was impressed by the outcry of “brilliant, articulate parents energized by a commitment to their children” and by the district that was so willing to listen. “I’m thrilled at the way the board and administration actively attempted to address what looked like a no-win situation,” Greenstein said. Parents said that issues still need to be resolved, such as the potential to allow closeness to a school to be a consideration in future lotteries, and to ensure the district keeps its goals for “equity and excellence.” Cardiff resident Chris Schwartz said that all the families who got involved to effect change want to continue to help the district find a long-term solution. “This is just the beginning of a lot of work, and we know the administration has taken a major leap forward,” Schwartz said. “There are a lot of volunteers waiting in the wings to help get where you need to be.” Amid the joy expressed by parents of newly admitted San Dieguito students, Leucadia resident Sheri Perlman was still looking for her happy ending. Perlman bought her house in the district last year and her two children were denied access into San Dieguito — they were told that no exceptions could be made. A sophomore and a junior, they remain on the wait list — while all the ninth-grade wait-listers were accepted. “At best it’s unfair, and at worst, it’s illegal,” Perlman said. “Nothing states that ninth-graders get priority. The education code says the lottery has to be random and unbiased.” Schmitt thanked Perlman for her comment and said that Grove would be in contact with her. The San Dieguito wait list has 46 sophomores, 35 juniors and 33 seniors. At CCA, the wait list has 103 sophomores, 41 juniors and 23 seniors.

To Your Health: Managing the challenges of Multiple Sclerosis BY CHARLES SMITH, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH Nearly all of us feel fatigued at some time or another. Maybe we’re run down, sick, dehydrated, or depressed. There are many possible reasons for fatigue, and the more we understand what is causing ours, the more effectively we can treat it. This is especially true for people with multiple sclerosis, or MS. Fatigue is one of the most common complaints associated with MS; unfortunately, many MS symptoms can be quite complicated and require significant time to understand and treat. Because many physicians today are limited in the amount of time they can spend with patients, it is important for people with MS to understand as much as they can about their symptoms and proactively help their doctors identify the root cause of the problem and start optimal treatment more quickly. Why are MS symptoms so complex? Consider this: MS is an immunemediated disease that attacks the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. As a result, symptoms can vary greatly and affect nearly everything from movement and physical functions to cognitive skills and emotions. MS is chronic, so symptoms may come and go, and range from mild to disabling. Let’s take a closer look at fatigue. MS itself can cause fatigue; there is a condition known as MS fatigue that typically occurs in the afternoon. MS can also affect the bladder, causing some people to wake up multiple times during the night to urinate. This repeated interruption of sleep could cer-

tainly lead to fatigue. Muscle spasms are another common symptom, and these can interfere with a restful night’s sleep. About 50 percent of people with MS will have depression at some point in their lives, which can lead people to feel tired and low on energy. Moreover, medications such as interferon that are used to treat MS may actually make some patients tired as a side effect. So when a person with MS reports fatigue, the key is to determine the underlying cause or causes and treat accordingly. Bladder symptoms can be addressed so that the person is not waking up every few hours or more to use the bathroom. Muscle spasms and depression can be treated as well. If MS medications are contributing to fatigue, doctor and patient need to determine whether the benefits of the medication outweigh its side effects; alternative medications are now available. Bladder or bowel dysfunction is another common MS complaint. As mentioned earlier, many patients wake up throughout the night to urinate. Incontinence can also be a concern. Years ago when I was just starting in my career, I asked a patient if she had any bladder problems, and she said no. I later learned she was incontinent several times a week, but she thought that was normal for MS and couldn’t be treated, so she didn’t tell me about it. People with MS need to understand that in most cases, these types of problems can now be completely controlled. Knowing that something can be done to improve their quality of life, patients can go back to their doctors and share information to determine the most appropriate treatment.

In the past, it was thought that cognitive problems such as memory loss and confusion were not a common concern with MS. Today, we know that 25 percent of patients may show evidence of cognitive impairment with specialized testing on the first day they are diagnosed with MS. After a patient has had the disease for five years, that number rises to 54 percent. We now know that MS-related cognitive problems are the most common reason why those with MS must stop working earlier than they otherwise would. Because cognitive complaints are so prevalent, we evaluate them much more carefully than in the past. Research has shown that three symptoms — fatigue, depression and cognitive impairment — most affect the quality of life for MS patients, even more so than paralysis. Fortunately, when patients understand their symptoms and work with their doctors to assess them, appropriate treatments can resolve complaints and restore quality of life. Dr. Charles Smith is a neurologist with Scripps Health. Join him, in partnership with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Pacific South Coast Chapter, for a free lecture series at 6:30 p.m. on managing common challenges of MS: Aug. 13, Fatigue; Sept. 17, Bladder, Bowel and Sexual Dysfunction; and Oct. 8, Cognitive Challenges; at the Schaetzel Center, Great Hall on the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus.

OBITUARIES

Richard Fitzpatrick 1944 – 2014 Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, affectionately known as Fitz, was born July 21, 1944, in Atlanta, Georgia. He passed away July 12, 2014, at his home in Rancho Santa Fe surrounded by his family following a ten year battle with prostate cancer. Fitz was an internationally recognized Dermatologist and Laser Surgeon. His

historic discovery of skin resurfacing with lasers is considered to be among the leading advances in Dermatology. He was the founder of SkinMedica, one of the premier cosmeceutical skin care lines in the country. Fitz’s second greatest love, after his family, was his long and varied career in dermatology, which included 36 years of private medical and surgical practice in San Diego. After graduating from Princeton University in 1966, Fitz studied medicine at Emory University, achieving membership in Alpha Omega Alpha, and completed an internship in general medicine at the University of Southern California. He entered the Navy, serving as a general medical officer achieving the rank of Commander from 1971-1974, and completed his residency in Dermatology at UCLA in 1978. He then moved to San Diego and opened

Dermatology Associates in La Jolla and Encinitas. Fitz had a laser in his hand until the very end, working at Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick, Groff & Fabi. In addition to treating tens of thousands of patients, Fitz conducted 130 medical research projects and published over 130 medical papers, 3 medical textbooks and nearly 60 textbook chapters. He influenced the lives of countless physicians and changed the face of cosmetic dermatology forever. His accomplishments and his contributions to the world of dermatology were enhanced by his genuine love of life. He was an eternal optimist who will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Above all else, Fitz loved and adored his family, including his wife, Betsy; four daughters and a son, Palmer Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth (Craig) Calders, Ted Fitzpatrick, Maggi

Fitzpatrick (Taylor McLemore), and Caitlin Fitzpatrick; and four grandchildren, Kasey, Kate, Topher and Griffin.

BY MARSHA SUTTON Few issues cause parents more distress than Marsha Sutton changes in school boundaries. Who can forget the tumult when in 2002 the Del Mar Union School District moved hundreds of families from one attendance area to another? Resentment still lingers, 12 years later. The San Dieguito Union High School District created its system of boundaries nearly 18 years ago that has worked well over time – until now. SDUHSD was caught off-guard by the intensity of the protests from parents who noisily made themselves heard at recent board meetings and in a barrage of emails and phone calls to district staff and board members. But no one can say the district wasn’t responsive. Administrators may not have anticipated the problem, an oversight some may fault them for, but they’ve mopped up a potentially volatile situation quite nicely for this year … and are recognizing that the issue needs attention for years beyond 2014. San Dieguito Academy is located in Encinitas, just east of I-5, in the northern part of the district. SDA is considered a “school of choice” – meaning any student living within the boundaries of the entire San Dieguito district can choose to attend. The same “school of choice” principle applies to Canyon Crest Academy, located in the southern portion of the district, in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community east of Carmel Valley. Both “choice” schools have what’s called a 4x4 schedule which allows students to complete four classes in half a year, so they can take eight classes each year. The district’s other two high schools – Torrey Pines in the south and La Costa Canyon in the north – utilize a more traditional schedule of six classes a year, the same six classes all year long. TPHS and LCC are “boundary” schools, meaning that any student living within the school’s established boundary is guaranteed admission to that school. So anyone living in the north will go to LCC and in the south will attend TP – unless they choose and are admitted to one of the two “choice” schools. When SDA was “re-en-

visioned” 18 years ago, the goal was to attract more students to the aging school. The 4x4 schedule was established, and a new culture was created in part by minimizing a focus on athletics to appeal to students more interested in the arts. This worked well, so well in fact that when Canyon Crest opened in 2004, many of the same principles at SDA were replicated. Fast-forward to today, when so many students want to attend SDA and CCA that demand has exceeded capacity. Lotteries were established, with waitlisted students clamoring to get in. The district is working to make LCC and Torrey Pines more attractive to students, but the major pull seems to be the 4x4 schedule, which so far will not be offered at either boundary school. The other attraction is the obvious one: proximity. Many students living within walking distance of SDA were waitlisted this year, inflaming parents – and rightly so. Families with incoming ninth-graders were not the only ones upset. At a recent community meeting in Cardiff, many speakers were parents of younger children who echoed the same complaints. Election year On July 10, SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt published an update on the issue, acknowledging that enrollment and boundary policies should be re-examined but not offering any real hope for waitlisted students this year. This was not well-received by parents who wanted action this fall. In a letter to the SDUHSD staff and board, Encinitas resident Jonathan Edelbrock wrote that he was concerned about “families who are troubled now” – particularly kids who live near one school but are forced to attend a second-choice school farther away. Edelbrock said the district’s policy of “choice” for SDA “is an utter failure to our families and our community” and that changes are needed immediately to accommodate children wishing to attend their neighborhood school. With pressure building for changes for this fall, the district did an about-face. One day after Schmitt’s letter to the community was published, families with waitlisted students at SDA and CCA were informed that the district would accept all incoming ninthgrade students. This amounted to 65 kids at SDA and 125 at CCA.

“Recent developments with our Proposition AA Master Plan have allowed us to review and slightly revise the long-term capacity of the school,” the district’s message said. Cynical reactions? If you make enough noise, you get your way. And if you make enough noise in an election year, then you really get your way. Of course it’s the right thing to do, to admit students to their closest school. So something had to happen. But how did it happen, when the district seemed so certain just days before that the waitlisted kids would not be offered admittance? And what does it say to the families whose kids were waitlisted at SDA and CCA in prior years who were never admitted? Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, said that at Canyon Crest, 701 ninth-graders were admitted before the 125 on the waitlist were notified. Of the 701, Grove said 597 accepted. Unfazed by the estimated size of the class, Grove said he expected about 80 of the 125 waitlisted students to enroll, yielding a class of approximately 677 to start the year at CCA. Grove said that prior to the addition of the 65 waitlisted SDA ninth-graders, the district admitted 526 to SDA, of which 478 accepted. “We anticipate that approximately 40 of the 65 waitlist invitees will actually enroll, yielding a ninthgrade class [at SDA] of approximately 518,” Grove said, noting that the district over-enrolls “because we know there will be attrition.” Not every SDA parent was overjoyed. Sheri Perlman’s two children have been on the SDA waitlist for two years now, and were again denied entry to the school closest to their home in Leucadia. Although pleased for the 65 ninth-graders who were admitted this year, she said her “feathers got a little ruffled” when her request for admittance was again rejected. “I don’t want to undo anything for those kids,” she said, “but there’s a system that they are supposed to follow.” Perlman said the board policy on high school selection says nothing about ninth-graders having priority over students in other grade levels. She praised the district’s staff, calling them “hard-working people” but said they should be able to accommodate the other students, especially those on the waitlist longer. At SDA, according to Grove, there are 46 10thgraders, 35 11th-graders, and 33 12th-graders on the

waitlist. At CCA there are 103 10th-graders, 41 11th-graders and 23 12th-graders waitlisted. Huge numbers – 281 in total – not admitted to their first-choice school. Board directive In response to the uproar, Grove said the school board asked district staff to see if capacity could be increased at the academies to accommodate the ninth-grade students. After looking at room utilization at SDA and CCA, “we discovered that we probably could squeeze in some more kids,” he said. The capacity at SDA is about 1,600, he said, “but we can admit more because of attrition.” Opening enrollment at SDA this fall is about 1,670 – “about 20 over what we generally allow.” However, a large class one year often means a much smaller class the following year, in order not to exceed total capacity for the school. “This year the percentage of students that chose an academy went up significantly,” Grove said. “We don’t know whether that’s a one-year blip or whether that’s a trend.” Grove referred to California Education Code 35160.5 as the relevant law that guides district enrollment policies. Sponsored by then Calif. Assemblywoman Dede Alpert, this law, Assembly Bill 1114, passed in 1993. It allows intradistrict transfers as long as seats are available. If demand exceeds capacity, then districts must employ an unbiased, random lottery, giving all applicants an equal chance. Exceptions include siblings of current students, threats of bodily harm, and children of district employees. San Dieguito honors the first two exceptions but not the third. In a conversation with Dede Alpert, she said the law was never designed to prohibit children from attending their neighborhood school. She said all schools in San Dieguito could be boundary schools, but then under the law each school would be available to any student throughout the district for any remaining open seats. She also stated that she believed it was legal to have academies as San Dieguito has chosen to do. The district could have all “boundary” schools, all “choice” schools, or a mix which is the current situation. Much of the immediate energy was generated by parents with ninth-graders on the waitlist at SDA who have now been admitted. But that won’t end the controversy. “People are still interested in the long-term solution,” Grove said. “I understand,” he said. “If you live across the street, you want your kid to be able to go to the school they can walk to.” The task force the district is creating to examine the issue will try to find a balance between proximity to a neighborhood school and the flexibility of having a school of choice. The goal, Grove said, is “to brainstorm all ideas” and to “figure out how we can maintain the benefits of the choice program while trying to better meet the needs of the community.” But the idea of a task force was not universally favored. “I support neighborhood schools and believe the task force is unnecessary,” said SDUHSD board member John Salazar. He said a change “is so obviously needed.” He supports giving first priority to those who live nearby. “Then if there is room, open up to everyone else,” he said. A lovefest The July 17 school board meeting, originally expected to be jammed with angry parents, was instead a lovefest, with congratulations and gratitude all around for solving the immediate problem. With staff, board members and parents falling all over themselves to thank each other, it might have been easy to overlook the one unhappy face in the crowd. When Sheri Perlman addressed the board, she reminded everyone that the 281 students on the upper-grade waitlists are still waiting for their happy ending. Despite unresolved problems, a debt of gratitude is owed to the organized and vocal community members for stepping up and getting done what was needed years ago – a re-evaluation of outdated enrollment policies. Any change in school boundary policies will certainly leave some unhappy. But children must be guaranteed access to their neighborhood schools. Demographics change, student interests change, and neighborhoods change. So it’s time for a change in SDUHSD’s now antiquated system for high school selection, to reflect a new reality. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail. com.

on a sabbatical, where they taught English and worked on improving their Spanish. Jacobsen found Kidsave as he was researching adoption and different programs and told his wife that if they didn’t do this, it was one less child who would get to come to the U.S. “We’re both fluent in Spanish and have always felt connected to that part of the world. I thought it would be a great fit,� Jacobsen said. Bacon had never heard of a program like Kidsave before, but was open to the experience of being on a life-changing journey right along with Sebastian. “It was another adventure for us to do while staying here, and a great way to help someone,� Bacon said. The couple knows Sebastian’s personal story, but are not allowed to share it with the media. They’ve been told he loves soccer and he takes piano lessons. “He is doing well in school, but he struggles with English, so we’ll be able to help him with that,� said Jacobsen, who is also a big soccer fan. Sebastian will celebrate his 13th birthday at the end

of August while he is in San Diego. “It will be our first children’s birthday party that we’re planning,� Bacon said. While San Diego has plenty of attractions and things to do, they don’t want to overload the boy’s schedule and aim to make him feel as comfortable and “at home� as possible. “We want him to see what everyday life is like,� said Bacon, noting that some time will probably be spent at the library and in a summer camp. Kidsave will host advocacy events for interested families to meet the Southern California children. One is scheduled for Aug. 16. Learn more at www.kidsave. org. The organization is always looking for more volunteers like the Bacons so they can bring the opportunity of family to more children. The host application can take some time to process. Kirkland said she’d love for any interested host families to get started with the application process in the fall. Jared and Suzanne also started a blog about Sebastian’s visit: http://www.ourguestfromcolombia.wordpress.com/

programs. That option received 29.7 percent support. Option two was to build a three-court facility at a cost of $23.5 million. That option received 16.9 percent of the vote. Delaney said she thinks there was a bit of “sticker shock� from the community about the potential cost. She said the board may look into a capital campaign that could help offset the cost. Of the survey’s respondents, 75.9 percent did not have elementary schoolaged children and 81.2 percent did not have middle school-aged children. Thirty-eight percent of respondents were ages 50-64 and 31.5 percent ages 65-plus. Twenty-four percent of respondents were ages 40-49, and only 5 percent fell into the 30-39 age group. The gym was built in 1974 and its last big project was a new floor in 2007. While the building can continue to operate under the code under which it was constructed, any revisions to the structure will trigger an accessibility upgrade for it to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

‘Father of the String Quartet’ Haydn gets top billing at SummerFest

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DAVID L. CODDON Not only the brilliance but the gentle spirit of Franz Joseph Haydn will be omnipresent at La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest 2014, which opens July 30 and for which Haydn is this year’s festival’s featured composer. “He (Haydn) was an incredibly nice person. Like Dvorak and Mendelssohn, Hayden was one of those beautiful human beings who everybody loved,” said SummerFest Music Director Cho-Liang Lin, whose festival program will feature “all sorts of facets of Haydn’s music.” SummerFest will run through Aug. 22 and include 15 concerts, most but not at all at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Sherwood Auditorium. Lin’s choice of Haydn as featured composer wasn’t based solely on the Austrian master’s good nature. “He was a great composer,” said Lin. “Without him, Beethoven (a student of Haydn’s) and Schubert and a whole host of composers would have taken a different course. People always think of Mozart when they think of the classic Viennese era, but Haydn was even more highly regarded. He was a pioneer in string quartets. I think it’s time to give Haydn his due.” Performances devoted to Haydn are scheduled for Aug. 5 (“An Esterhazy Concert”), Aug. 12 (“Papa, Family & Protégé”) and Aug. 19 (“The Classical Icon”). As a whole, SummerFest promises an array of world-class musicians, this year including pianist Yefin Bronfman (Aug. 13), the guitar-playing Assad Brothers, Sergio and Odair (Aug. 20), English trumpet soloist Alison Balsom (Aug. 6 at St. James-by-the-Sea church), the Miro Quartet (Aug. 10 at the Auditorium at The Scripps Research Insti-

tute, or TSRI), Canadian composer Howard Shore (“The Lord of the Rings” scores) who will world-premiere a new work on Aug. 15, and composer-conductor Leonard Slatkin, who will preside over the festival finale on Aug. 22. There also will be an “Homage to Tchaikovsky” on Aug. 2, an evening of Baroque Masterworks on Aug. 8 (St. James-by-theSea) and more. “We’re going to have (pianist) Orion Weiss, who’s going to bring his wife Anna Polonsky (also a pianist) with him,” Lin said. They will be part of the “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” program on Aug. 3 at TSRI. “And Martin Beaver, first violinist of the Tokyo Quartet (Aug. 12, in the second Haydn concert). “I think we have a pretty interesting mix. There are some new wonderful young musicians — folks in their early 30s — coming in this summer who are rapidly establishing strong careers.” Thirty-five-year-old Alison Balsom is not new to the La Jolla Music Society, but she is making her SummerFest debut, much to the delight of LJMS president and artistic director Christopher Beach. “Alison’s whole program is as new and challenging as the repertory can provide,” said Beach, extolling Balsom’s passion and clarity. “That’s the template for any artist in the performing arts, and she excels at both.” As usual, he has high praise for music director Lin’s festival programming, which he cites as organic. “We program the festival as a whole, not as a series of concerts,” Beach said, proceeding to sketch a kind of mosaic on a sheet of paper at his desk in the LJMS offices. “It’s a kind of elegant musical jigsaw puzzle,” he explains, “that needs pieces to

excite you and to surprise you, and comfortable favorites. And this festival does that.” What does it mean to surprise an audience? “You introduce them to music or repertory they don’t know,” said Beach, “or the artist presents an interpretation that challenges the way they know a work.” This, he said, is where the excitement comes in as well. “Everything (during SummerFest) is one night only, so the performances live in people’s memories. And they’re live. Anything can happen. “The more and more I know, the more I believe chamber music is the ultimate classical music experience. The chamber music concert is of a scale that a serious classical music lover can get his greatest reward be-

cause there is both the intimacy and the complexity, the immediacy and the richness.” While reveling in this year’s festival, both Beach and Lin are also looking forward to fall 2017, when LJMS will move into a new $40 million performing arts center on Fay Avenue. It will include a 500-seat concert hall as well as office space. “I think it’s immensely exciting,” said Lin, who called the venue “a dream of mine for the longest time.” Added Beach: “You don’t have big enough (size) type in your paper to reflect how excited we are. This will make a long and extraordinary contribution to the qualify of life, not only in La Jolla, but in San Diego.” To view SummerFest 2014 lineup and accompanying programming, go to ljms.org.

San Diego’s AmateurPianists back in Solana Beach church for second concert fundraiser

PAY YOU THE STATE REBATE MONEY UP FRONT!*

BY KRISTINA HOUCK For the second consecutive year, eight amateur pianists will take the stage at a Solana Beach church to showcase their not-so-amateur talent. Hosted by AmateurPianists, the night of classical piano music is set for July 26 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “Bring family and friends — anyone who loves music,” said Glenn Kramer, founder and board chair of AmateurPianists. “It’s going to be a wonderful time.” Based in North San Diego County, AmateurPianists is an organization for amateur pianists. Kramer established the group in 2011 so amateur pianists of all professions could have opportunities to perform in front of live audiences. “As pianists, we spend hours and hours learning a piece, but we don’t have people to play for except our own friends and family,” Kramer said. “I thought it would be a wonderful idea for people who play piano to have the opportunity to play in front of audiences like the professionals do.” Nearly 450 amateur pianists have joined the group since it launched three years ago. Membership is free, as are all events. AmateurPianists has held a number of performances at a variety of venues, including recital halls, churches, public libraries and private residences. The group also offers lectures and master classes on performance practice, the history of classical music and more. “We’re all amateurs, so people are really friendly and it’s not competitive,” Kramer said. “We want to nurture your confidence to perform for the public and share our love of music.” This is the second year AmateurPianists is hosting a silent auction and piano recital in Solana Beach. Solana Beach resident Monique Kunewalder is among the eight pianists who are slated to perform, with the furthest coming from San Francisco. Funds raised at the event will help the organization launch San Diego’s first international amateur piano competition, which would provide amateur pianists with more performing and networking opportunities, Kramer said. There are only about 10 amateur piano competitions in the world, he added. About 75 people attended last year’s concert fundraiser, which raised $800. Event organizers hope to double last year’s proceeds. A piano competition could cost $12,000 to $15,000 to cover the costs of the rental facility, equipment, judges and award money, Kramer noted. “San Diego doesn’t have an amateur piano competition,” Kramer said. “We want to put San Diego on the map.” The silent auction and piano recital takes place from 1-4 p.m. July 26 at Founders’ Hall at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, 1036 Solana Drive in Solana Beach. The event is free, but donations will be accepted. For more about AmateurPianists, or to RSVP or donate, visit amateurpianists.org.

Sculpture exhibit blooms at SD Botanic Garden BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Any time of year is a good time to visit the San Diego Botanic Garden, but now is particularly inviting, with the recent installation of the fourth annual “Sculpture in the Garden” show, curated by art consultant Naomi Nussbaum. Nussbaum, born in Zimbabwe, made Solana Beach her home more than 25 years ago, and has become a significant part of the local art community. Since 2011, she’s been assembling a variety of popular and lesser-known artists for the SDBG exhibit, putting out a call for participants a year in advance. She favors San Diego-based sculptors, but always has room for a few extra-regional ones: three this year, from Seattle, New York and Los Angeles, were among the 34 chosen. In all, there are 47 works on display. The garden itself is a beauty, boasting 37 acres filled with almost 4,000 types of plants from around the world. The sculptures, placed in appropriate settings throughout the garden, provide an added feast for the eyes. At a June 29 preview of the exhibit, most of the artists were present, and happy to pose with their pieces, which will be on view through April 2015. A “Sculpture in the Garden” map, available at the entrance, makes self-guided tours easy, and a plaque near each piece gives more information. Summertime Special: If you come on a Thursday afternoon, you can stay for one of the Family Fun Nights, special programs of music and entertainment. They run from 4:30-8 p.m. through Aug. 28. If you go: Sculpture in San Diego Botanic Garden is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (summer Thursdays until 8 p.m.) at 230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas.

One day at a time, he reaches — and passes — yoga milestone He sometimes uses the principles of yoga and meditation in his practice as well as his own life, in which he strives always to be “mindful and present.” His wife, Amy, is executive director of the Solana Beach nonprofit Silver Age Yoga that offers classes around the county (www. silverageyoga.org). The classes are supported by a grant from the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation. She, too, is a yoga devotee, though she hasn’t been at it quite as long. When she first met Ain seven years ago, she didn’t care for it, preferring more active exercise like swimming and gymnastics. But because she wanted to have something in their relationship they could share, she started yoga about five years ago. Her husband’s challenge inspired her to “get into a different groove” with her yoga. She said she’s done 30-day challenges on her own and cited research stating that it takes about that long for a new habit to be “hard-wired.”

Local psychologist, 68, has persevered with exercise regimen for 1,000-plus days BY KATHY DAY One day after 68-yearold Ain Roost reached his goal of doing yoga for 1,000 days, he set a new goal: Do it for one more day. “Today is 1,001. There’s no point in quitting,” he said on July 16, a day after completing his personal challenge. “My new goal is 1,002.” The local resident, psychologist and former Canadian Olympian took his first yoga classes in Marrakech, Morocco, after arriving there on the Marrakech Express from Casablanca in 1969. Along the road to 1,000 days, he said there were “lesser milestones” like 100 or 500 days. He even got a bit of a kick out of day 666, when — conceding that he has a strange sense of humor — he acknowledged what is known as the “number of the beast” by quoting the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” (Some interpretations point to a passage in the Bible book of Revelations, calling the number a symbol of the Antichrist.) With meditation and a

focus on mindfulness a part of his personal life that crosses into his professional life, he said one of his philosophies is to “be present a day at a time.” But sometimes his goals go a bit beyond that. He was already a practitioner of yoga and a gym regular until a combination of injuries to his knee, shoulder and hip sidelined him. Once he felt well enough to return to his yoga routine, he said, he challenged himself to do yoga for 30 days straight. “When I got to 30, I just kept going,” he said in a press release about his adventure. “It’s become a habit, regular part of my morning ritual.” Part of the challenge, though, was “about more than yoga. It is about setting intentions and following them.” He also noted that yoga and meditation are part of every day — kind of like showering and brushing his teeth. Roost was born in Sweden. His parents, who left

Estonia in the face of the Soviet presence, moved to Toronto when he was 5. As a young boy, he grew interested in track and field. “Boys like to run and jump and throw stuff,” he said, so it was a good fit. Initially he tried decathlon — “there’s a lot of running and throwing stuff” — but when he realized he wasn’t cut out for all the events, he focused on throwing. So discus, javelin and shot put became his sports, earning him a college scholarship. “I was most successful at discus,” he added. Using that talent, he spent “a magical” 10 years on the Canadian National Track & Field Team that took him to two Olympics, the Pan Am Games and other international competitions. As a young teen, he thought he wanted to be an architect, but as he got older, he became interested in “the mystery of people — why we do what we do, what are we doing here …” The combination of phi-

Ain Roost set a yoga challenge for himself while recovering from injuries. He credits the practice with improving his strength, balance and flexibility. Courtesy phoyo

losophy, spirituality and psychology became a “continual fascination,” which pulled him towards a degree in psychology. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota and worked in a variety of clinical settings before choosing private practice more than 10 years ago. He has offices in Carlsbad and La Jolla, with a lot of his clients coming from UCSD and the scientific and medical communities. He also uses his athletic background in performance enhancement work with athletes, writers, musicians and artists.

Rising star: French Corner creates bread, pastries with authentic flair BY KAREN BILLING The kitchen space inside the newly opened French Corner in Encinitas is truly a tiny corner. French chef and owner Alexandra Palombi-Long works on full display behind the countertop, a multi-tasking blur slathering a baguette with her homemade pâtĂŠ, taking a fragrant quiche crust out of the oven and picking apart organic herbs to grind together for her homemade pesto. She tops a fruit and yogurt parfait with some of her homemade granola and carries it out to a customer enjoying one of the cafÊ’s outside tables. “That’s how I like it. The best food comes from the smallest kitchen,â€? Palombi-Long said. Her classic, authentic French pâtisserie training results in a daily selection of madeleines and meringues and macarons. There are light financier cakes and cylinder-shaped, custard-filled cannelĂŠs, a specialty cake from Bordeaux that is very difficult to find in San Diego. CrĂŞme brĂťlĂŠe and mousse au chocolat are two of her specialties, and she whips up crepes both sweet and savory. In baskets along the countertop are crisp pastries drizzled in cream and croissants sprinkled in powdered sugar and slivered almonds. Fresh ingredients are stored on baskets on the walls, all manner of utensils are packed together in canisters, and pans are stacked on shelves and hanging from hooks over Palombi-Long’s stove and panini press. Like her cousin, who owns the well-known La Note restaurant in Berkeley, she only pours Mr. Espresso coffee from a Bay-area based roaster that oak-roasts the coffee beans. The coffee menu is pure Paris — try a cafĂŠ au lait or order up a “noisetteâ€? (nuh-wah-zet), an espresso with a tiny bit of milk. Palombi-Long was born and raised in Paris in a food family — they’ve been involved in the art of French cuisine since 1920. “For us, it really is a family thing; we love food, it’s what we do. I have a passion for good food,â€? Palombi-Long said. “I started to love cooking by cooking with my mother. I was helping her in the kitchen as young as I can remember.â€?

“It was a wonderful experience, because I learned so much,â€? Palombi-Long said. In New York, she also met her future husband, a military physician with the U.S. Navy. Three years ago, the couple and their three sons decided to pack up and move to California. “We think it’s a fantastic place to raise a family,â€? Palombi-Long said, who has lived in Carlsbad for the past three years. Palombi-Long started the French Corner two years ago, selling her goods at the Leucadia Farmers Market. As she grew more successful at the market, she started looking for her own brick-and-mortar shop. When the space opened up t Highway 101 and Phoebe Street, it could not have worked out more perfectly. The space had been a hair salon, so a complete renovation was necessary. Palombi-Long is thrilled with the comfortably cozy result. As she says, good food does not have to be complicated; it just takes simple, fresh, organic inAlexandra Palombi-Long opened The French Corner on Highway gredients. 101 in late May. Photo by Karen Billing “The key is, I do everything I can,â€? said Palombi-Long. She recalls visiting Paris markets with her mother, gathIndeed, her hand is in nearly everything in the cafĂŠ — ering all of the fresh ingredients they would need in the kitchen that day. Working alongside her mother, she picked she makes the pesto and the vinagrettes, and while the bread comes from a local French bakery, she sits down with up all of her techniques.

Festival visitors will be able to tour the ships and enjoy food and drink from dozens of restaurant booths, as well as seeing a petting zoo, pirates, cannon battles on the bay, sunset cruises and shopping for one of-a-kind items among more than 150 festival vendors. The Festival of Sail will be set along the North Embarcadero between Ash and Grape streets. Paid parking lots are available but parking will be extremely limited, so festival visitors are urged to use public transportation. The County Center/Little Italy trolley station is only three blocks from the festival. Visit sdmaritime.org.

YOGA

continued from page B7

They both point to the benefits of yoga in one’s physical and psychological being — from reducing hypertension and back pain to improving flexibility and strength. Amy said it’s a particularly effective practice for seniors who often cite “fear of falling” as one of their greatest fears. Ain added that for him, the flexibility he gained is perhaps the biggest plus of practicing yoga. He said that his strength and balance are also “clearly improved,” as is his mental balance. The press release about his accomplishment reflects the humorous outlook of this 6’4”, 215-pound man. “It’s tough for a big guy like myself to kiss my knees with my forehead in a forward bend or do a full lotus, but that doesn’t ultimately matter. It’s not about how good you are at it, or how pretzel-like you can make yourself. I just do what I can, and because I feel the benefits I keep doing it” — day after day after day.

Local athlete drafted by San Diego Padres BY ROB LEDONNE Maxwell MacNabb, the star La Costa Canyon High School pitcher who went on to greatness while playing at USD, was drafted earlier this summer by the San Diego Padres in a “dreamlike” scenario. “When I saw my name pop up on the computer on the last day of the draft, it was pure excitement,” he said from his hotel in Peoria, Ariz., where the Padres have a training camp. “I had a good feeling, but you never know. It wasn’t for sure I was going to get drafted by anyone. Once it happened, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. I took that day to relax and be calm and not worry about it. I hung out with my friends that night. That was on a Friday, and by Monday morning I was on my way to Arizona for physicals.” For MacNabb, being drafted by the Padres is the latest in a long road of accomplishments in the sport after first playing Little League in Encinitas. “I lived down the street from Park Dale Lane, so I was always at those fields,” he said. “Playing Little League was a no-brainer for me; it was what everyone did in that neighborhood.” However, he didn’t get serious about baseball until high school. “I started to focus on it much more,” said MacNabb, who won “Pitcher of the Year” in 2010 while playing for La Costa Canyon. “Playing for (La Costa Varsity Baseball) Coach Machado and with my friends was the greatest. Those years were some of the most fun.” Perhaps the root of that fun came from the success of the team, which won division titles multiple years in a row, catapulting MacNabb into the awareness of college recruiters. “Once I got into my junior and senior years of high school, I became much more focused,” MacNabb said. “Everything was preparing me for the next step, whether it was weight-lifting or practice. I was gearing up for the college level.” MacNabb’s shot at col-

Pet of the Week

Maxwell MacNabb Courtesy photo lege ball arrived when the powers that be at the University of San Diego’s baseball program came calling: a Division I team. “Showing up as a freshman to a Division I team so accomplished was definitely a challenge,” said MacNabb, who joined USD’s ranks in fall 2010. “The game is the same, but everything that goes into it gets a little bigger and little faster. But it was a great experience, and another stepping stone learning to be a better pitcher.” McNabb’s success as he traversed those stepping stones caught the attention of the San Diego Padres, a team that he had grown up watching. “When they were calling me and considering me, I almost couldn’t believe that the Padres, who I’ve been a fan of for so long, had any interest in me at all,” he said. The interest came in the form of an invitation to join their minor league system, and MacNabb became one of the 40 players the Padres drafted in June. “Any team, anywhere could have drafted me,” said MacNabb of his luck. “Just getting drafted is a dream come true, but for me, having the Padres draft me made it that much more unbelievable.” For now, MacNabb is attempting to make the most of his opportunity while playing in the rookie-level Arizona League, run by Major League Baseball. “We’re about 25 games in so far,” MacNabb said. “There are some really good guys out here; it’s really fun. Being in Arizona is a little bit of a change, though.” He isn’t sure where he’s going to end up, but he is making sure not to stress about his future. “All I’m doing now is trying to make a name for myself pitching, and the rest will take care of itself,” MacNabb said. “I’m not concerning myself with how long I’ve been here or what level I’m at. You pitch and play, and you don’t know what happens. Growing up and watching (Padres legends like) Tony Gwynn and Trevor Hoffman, and now seeing the ‘S.D.’ logo on my uniform ... it’s surreal.”

Investment Strategies to Hedge Against Inflation In April, the U.S. consumer price index was up 0.3, which is its largest increase in 10 months. This does not mean that inflation will pick up tomorrow. It could take time and could be gradual, but inflation is still something to be aware of. One aspect of inflation that is important to understand is that the government changed how it calculated CPI multiple times, even within the past three decades, which means that inflation is probably higher than the

CPI representation. For example, in 1998, hedonic regression, a method of estimating a product’s value, was introduced to the CPI by the government. Hedonic regression estimates an item’s value by reducing the item to its constituent parts and calculating the market value of the constituent parts. For example, according to hedonic theory, even though a television set may be more expensive than it was previously, the price of the television is going down, not up, because the quality is improved. In other words, prices are adjusted down to reflect quality enhancements. This might lead to understated inflation. Even if inflation takes time and is gradual, it’s important to make investment strategies to hedge against inflation. Here are some strategies to consider: Real Estate: If you buy a home and live in it long enough to pay off the mortgage, you’re likely to protect yourself against price

appreciation. Price appreciation over a few decades should be higher than the inflation rate. Aside from your home, we continue to like investing in real estate because of its many benefits, including an expectation that it will perform well during inflationary times. Commodities: Commodities are priced in US dollars and tend to increase in value when the dollar falls because, for example, the Government tries to print itself out of debt. Diversification: There are no asset classes that are perfectly correlated to inflation, so it’s important to diversify and include some classic inflation hedges in your portfolio, such as commodities and real estate. Shorten bond duration: Interest rates tend to go up during inflationary times. Because bond prices go down when interest rates go up, your bond portfolio can get hurt when interest rates rise. Ways to hedge against rising interest rates include

shortening the duration of your bond portfolio, investing in certain unconstrained bond strategies, adding selected credit play strategies, moving to floating rate loans and other strategies that hedge against rising interest rates. Increase exposure to falling dollar: As mentioned before, investing in commodities is one way to increase exposure to the falling dollar. You can also invest in stock market indexes of countries you believe will have appreciating currencies or by investing in foreign companies or U.S. companies that earn most of their revenue from outside the U.S. Although the uncertainty around when and how much inflation will rise can be disconcerting, if you plan accordingly, inflation doesn’t have to affect your financial stability.

We also serve the human and animal victims of domestic violence through our Animal Safehouse Program, we deliver unconditional love to those who need it most during our Pet Assisted Therapy visits, and our Community Pet Food Bank keeps people and their pets together.

Patriot Profiles: ‘Experiences good or bad, you’re never going to forget them’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Mobility across natural obstacles can save lives in war. The capture of the Ludendorff Bridge that spanned the Rhine River at Remagen, Germany, infuriated Hitler, as it allowed Allied troops to drive to the heart of Germany. When a tactical need arises and a bridge doesn’t already exist, combat engineers can build them, providing a distinct strategic advantage on the battlefield. Cpl. Jervis Hettrick, a combat engineer with the 7th Engineer Support Battalion, is dubbed “a jack of all trades.” He joined the Marine Corps with some roofing background, a year of college and a fascination with everything going on in the war after 9/11 hit close to home in Union Beach, N.J. As soon as his recruiter read him the job description he knew it was right for him, saying, “I like getting my hands dirty ... yes, this is what I wanted to do.” Three and a half months of Engineer School in Camp Lejeune, N.C., taught Hettrick the basics of route clearance, demolition, vertical and horizontal construction, survivability and bridging. He joined the fleet in Okinawa, Japan, and was put in a bridge platoon. “They told me, ‘Get ready, you’re deploying to Afghanistan,’” said Hettrick. During a pre-deployment work-up, they built bridge after bridge. “You learn as you go from your staff noncommissioned officers — people who have been there, done that.” In 2012, Hettrick was sent to a hotbed of Taliban in Mirmandab, Helmand Valley, Afghanistan, who were raining down bullets, grenades and mortars on Alpha Company 9th ESB. He was part of engineering operations that supported Special Operations Task Force West, part of Marine Corps Special Operations Command. The gamut of Hettrick’s training came into play. The task was clear: Enable force vehicle mobility (then limited to foot traffic) and establish a new patrol base and support platform, enabling SOTF-West to push further north to eliminate pockets of insurgents causing fhavoc. Bridge building outside the concertina wire is stepping out in no-man’s-land where, according to Hetrrick, “Anything can happen at any time. Obviously, improvised explosive devices are always a threat. “If the enemy sees you re-conning a bridge site — getting measurements and everything, they know what you’re doing and go place IEDS there. We had guys designated in our platoon to do the sweeping.” Despite careful efforts, “Three weeks into our deployment, one of my corporals, Sgt. Nick Kimmel, stepped on an IED — lost his legs and one arm. When you deploy with an Engineer Support Battalion, everyone’s saying, ‘You’re not going to see combat — you’re not going to see this or that.’…” Hettrick responds to the assertion, “It is combat,” with “Yeah.” “We had about 30-40 guys on a bridge crew, but everybody is building the bridge. Gunners would provide security. One (bridge) was over just a little gap. We replaced that with a culvert two months later. One was an 11-bay doublestory medium-girder bridge over a river. There was another small one we replaced with a non-standard (wooden) bridge — a more permanent structure.” “Man-size Legos” is what Hettrick and fellow engineers call bridge parts. “Medium-girder bridges are worth a lot of money,” he explains. “It’s magnesium zinc alloy — really strong. If we’re pulling out of Afghanistan, we’re going to want to take those bridges with us. “Our job the entire deployment was taking the medium bridges out and replacing them with non-standard bridges,” which he described as “concrete footers on each side of the gap with a steel I-beam running across. Then, you deck it.” Demolition is Hettrick’s favorite part of his job. When they found IEDs while building a bridge, he had fun shoot-

Christopher De Casanova, combat engineer, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, work together to move a roller beam that will support a bridge for the World Famous Camp Pendleton Mud Run. U.S. Marine Photo by Lance Cpl. Keenan Zelazoski ing off MCLCs — “That’s a mine-clearing line charge. It is 1,750 pounds of C-4 (explosive) connected to a rocket. “It’s crucial. If you’re trying to get from point A to point B and you’ve got a river there, instead of going out of your way for a few hours or days, we can come in and build a bridge in a couple hours. We were constantly working, whether we were outside the wire or inside the wire — always preparing the next bridge,” said Hettrick. The Germans didn’t see success when they launched a massive counter attack against the Ludendorff bridgehead. American troops had built pontoon and treadway bridges adjacent to the span — a tenacious assurance the Allied advance would continue, even when the Ludendorff suddenly collapsed. The nine-plus bridges still left in the Helmand Valley by 9th ESB are a tenacious reminder of Marines finding solutions. These engineering feats, pounded by armored tracks, tires, and boot steps, also give local villagers reliable routes to connect socially and economically. Hettrick says, “That bridge is going to stay there even after the war — those Afghan people are going to use that bridge every day.” In addition to bridges, four new patrol bases with

Photo by Jeanne McKinney berms, concertina wire, guard towers, and berthing areas offer Marines refuge in no-man’sland, thanks to the laboring hands of Hettrick and his platoon. “We even built two patrol bases for the Georgians.” He explained that along with the Georgians and Jordanians, “there were a whole bunch of people over there.” When a school in the Philippines was damaged by a volcano in 2013, Hettrick’s platoon helped it rebuild, first having to dig out 3 feet of ash. “Hundreds of kids from now until that school is not there anymore know that we built it. It’s a pretty cool feeling.” Support from his family, friends, and people he works with inspire Hettrick. “I have brothers here in the Marine Corps — these are my brothers.” Seeing how Sgt. Kimmel has overcome tragedy with no legs and no left arm fills Hettrick with perspective: “He golfs, races trucks off-road, snowboards, works for the Padres … He lives a happier and more fulfilling life than most of the people I know. “If I wake up and I’m tired and I’ve got to put my sboots on, I think back to that day and realize, some people have to wake up and put their legs on. I’m happy to put my boots on every day. Experiences good or bad, you’re never going to forget them when you’re a Marine.” Now based at Camp Pendleton, Cpl. Jervis Hettrick is a Bridge Master, equivalent to a civilian construction foreman. As commander of a bridge crew, he adamantly assures, “I still get my hands dirty.”

Local artist shares her love of papier-mâché at her studio BY KRISTINA HOUCK The former host of a TV show on a local Israeli station, Sarit Harel was on assignment when she met and interviewed a woman who inspired her to change her career. Galit Steinberg, the owner of a papier-mâché studio, welcomed Harel as a student after she expressed interest in the medium. The woman quickly became Harel’s friend and mentor. After nearly seven years of working in the studio in Israel, Harel, her husband, Amit, and their four children moved to Carmel Valley. Across the Atlantic Ocean and thousands of miles away, Steinberg encouraged her former student to open her own studio in her new community. “I didn’t have self-confidence,” said Harel, who has lived in San Diego for two years. “After a year over here, my husband started to convince me. And my teacher told me I have all the information I need.” With encouragement from her family and friends, Harel finally opened Paper Mache Art Studio about eight months ago. Based out of her Carmel Valley home, the studio recently held its first open house in early June to showcase the work of her roughly 20 students. “It’s so colorful and it’s so unique,” Harel said. “Each artist brings his or her own personality to their work.” A dancer as a child and now a sculptor, Harel has been an artist all her life. While serving as a soldier in Israel, Harel performed in the Israel Defense Forces Band. After two years in the military, she studied contemporary music, performing in musicals such as “Les Misérables” and “West Side Story.” Also an actress, Harel hosted a show for more than a year, which is how she met her mentor Steinberg. “I loved the material,” Harel said. “I tried to work with clay and other materials. The difference with papier-mâché — it’s unlimited.” Harel explained her art is created using a method that is more sophisticated than the way children make papiermâché in school. Her work is not composed of paper strips and glue, but rather paper pulp, adhesive and other recyclable materials. “It’s a serious art,” she said. “My sculptures are very heavy.” One of her favorite pieces is a roughly 7-foot-tall selfstatue. Created while she was 40 and pregnant with her fourth child, the statue depicts a woman with roots in the ground and chains for wings. “My work is very passionate, dealing with my life,” said Harel, whose two boys and two girls range in age from 5 to 13 years. “At that time, I was dealing with being a mother of almost four kids. I was dealing with wanting to fly but not being able to fly anymore. Although I cannot fly anymore like I used to, my kids are my life.” Besides being personal, the medium is environmentally friendly, consisting of almost all recycled materials. It’s

Sarit Hare Courtesy photo also responsive and revisable. Unlike some mediums, however, papier-mâché requires patience, something Harel had to learn and teach her students. “Papier-mâché is a slow art,” Harel said. “It’s a process, and you need to enjoy the process. You can’t get immediate results.” Although difficult for some at first, Harel said the papier-mâché process is therapeutic. Sculpting calms her students, she explained, and brings them closer together. “I like to dream. I think it’s important to put your dreams into art,” Harel said. “We all have dreams. Go outside of your routine — whatever you like to do. It’s important to dream, and I think that’s something people are getting from my studio.” Classes are available for children and adults. To learn more or sign up for classes, contact Harel at 858-7220555 or pitssi@gmail.co

16th Art in the Village to be held Aug. 10 Held on the second Sunday of August, The Carlsbad Village Association’s Art in the Village will return Aug. 10, bringing more than 100 local and regional artists for a one-day, open air event. Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, the event attracts thousands of residents and a diverse selection of fine artists, sculptors, photographers and craftsmen. Starting at 9 a.m., visitors can browse exhibits and listen to live music along State Street and Grand Avenue in the heart of the Village, just blocks from Carlsbad State Beach. “The CVA started Art in the Village as a way to draw attention to the local art community, which was largely under the radar until that time,” said Doug Avis, chairman of the Carlsbad Village Association’s board of directors. “We’re pleased to see its success over the years and growth from a small market to a large yearly event that includes artists from all over North County.” As an added feature this year, guests who bicycle to the event will be offered a free valet service staffed by the San Diego County Bike Coalition in partnership with the San Diego Association of Governments and the city of Carlsbad. The valet service will provide secure, supervised bicycle parking so cyclists can enjoy the events without having to hunt for an ideal place to lock up their bikes.
