day, Aug. 21. The move is needed to comply with a state water conservation mandate issued on July 15. If approved, the restrictions would limit watering to early morning or evening hours; prohibit runoff or overspray from sprinklers; allow watering no more than three days per week based on a schedule established by the district; and require any water leaks to be repaired within

[For the full list of restrictions, see page 20.] The district, which serves residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, declared a Level 1 water shortage response in February, after Gov. Jerry Brown declared a statewide drought emergency in January. The Level 1 declaration called for voluntary cutbacks in water use. See WATER, page 20

BY KAREN BILLING The committee exploring a potential pool and fitness center for Rancho Santa Fe has zeroed in on a workable location and come up with a tentative price tag for the facility. A site between the Player’s Club of the RSF Golf Club and the RSF Tennis Club was presented at a July 15 meeting, as well as a potential $10 million-$15 million price tag. The July 15 meeting was open to the public (although closed to members of the media) and committee member Chuck Yash said about 30 people attended. The committee continues to work toward a communitywide vote on Oct. 6 — not on the project, but on whether the Association should spend funds on a professional planning process. If the vote shows this is something the community would like to pursue, the committee would work toward a vote for building a pool and fitness center in 2015. The committee plans a presentation to the RSF Association board, RSF Golf Club and RSF Tennis Club at a Sept. 11 meeting, and a series of open forums is slated for the week of Sept. 14. “We want to have an open meeting with golf and tennis club members because everyone has to contribute if it’s going to get done,” Yash said. “We want to have See CENTER, page 21

Del Mar race track safe Sunday without turf course After four fatalities in two days, Del Mar closed the turf course and raced on Polytrack only BY ED ZIERALSKI SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW Compared to the chaos that gripped Del Mar on Friday and Saturday (July 25
and 26) and forced the closure of the turf course, Sunday’s racing was a muchneeded return to normal. A rare thunderstorm lit up the sky around the track
and pelted the turf and Polytrack with mid-morning rain. It set off car alarms and drew some loud whinnies from the barns. Unfortunately, there
was a breakdown in the morning drills that resulted in another horse being euthanized. Trainer Peter Miller’s Chilled Mousse, an unraced 2-year-old colt, worked four
furlongs in 50.20 seconds, but then broke down. Chilled Mousse became the eighth horse to die at Del Mar at this meeting that See TURF, page 21

Four candidates vying for three seats in two school races The November election may feature four candidates seeking three seats on the San Dieguito Union School District board. So far, incumbents Barbara Groth and Amy Herman have pulled papers to seek re-election, as have new candidates Steven McDowell, a former board member of the Del Mar Union School District, and Simeon Greenstein, who recently retired after 35 years teaching in SDUHSD. Candidates have until Aug. 8 to file. So far incumbent John Salazar has not retrieved filing papers to seek re-election. In the Solana Beach School District, there may also be a race with incumbents Vice President Vicki King, Jeffrey Busby and Debra Schade, and new candidate Holly Lewry. It appears just the incumbents have pulled papers in the Del Mar Union School District and Rancho Santa Fe School District. In Del Mar, President Doug Rafner and trustees Scott Wooden and Kristin Gibson will seek re-election, as will President Todd Frank and Marti Ritto in Rancho Santa Fe. — Karen Biling
RSF Fire District joins potentially life-saving app In its continued effort to increase the survival rate of patients experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, along with emergency services agencies throughout San Diego County, is now a participating agency on PulsePoint. PulsePoint is an app that notifies CPR-trained users if someone nearby is in need of assistance. Users can then go to that person’s aid until paramedics arrive. According to the American Heart Association, SCA is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States. The sooner someone experiencing SCA gets help, the better their chances of survival. Millions of people are certified in CPR every year, yet only 40 percent of SCA victims receive CPR before professional help arrives. People are willing to help, but until PulsePoint they had no way of knowing if someone near them needs help. PulsePoint works with participating agency’s dispatch centers. When someone calls 9-11 stating that a person is down and in need of CPR, paramedics and firefighters are dispatched to the scene. At the same time an alert goes out to nearby PulsePoint users. Users can often arrive on scene and begin chest compressions several minutes before the paramedics, greatly increasing the patient’s chances of survival. The app includes instructions for performing CPR and shows the location of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in the area. Visit www.rsf-fire.org.

Fire sprinkler extinguishes garage fire On July 24, at 2:02 a.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded to a residential fire in the 10000 block of Lone Dove Street in 4S Ranch. When they arrived on scene, firefighters found that a single sprinkler head had activated and extinguished a fire in the garage near the water heater. One person was home at the time and was able to safely evacuate the home. “No doubt this would have been a fully-involved garage fire in the sprinkler system was not present,� said Battalion Chief Fred Cox. “This is an excellent example of how residential fire sprinkler systems can save lives and property.� After the firefighters made sure the fire was out and restored the fire sprinkler system, the occupant of the home was allowed to return to the residence. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. To learn more about residential fire sprinkler systems and how to properly maintain them, please visit the RSF Fire District’s Fire Protection Systems website at www.rsf-fire.org/ sprinklers/index.html.

Local cancer survivor calls for research and preventative funding from lawmakers BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having battled cancer three times, Julie Westcott is now an advocate for others who have the disease. A local resident, she participated July 7-8 in One Voice Against Cancer’s National Lobby Day in Washington, D.C., to encourage elected officials to increase funding for cancer research and prevention programs. One Voice Against Cancer is a collaboration of nonprofits that urges increased funding for cancer research, treatment, survivorship and prevention in the Congressional budget. “I feel it’s really important for people to have a voice,” said Westcott. “It’s one thing to be a passive bystander and have feelings about something, but you have to actually take the time and effort to make your voice heard.” Westcott was diagnosed with adult acute myeloid leukemia in 2006. She was just 31 years old. The aggressive cancer returned in 2008 and again in 2009. While still undergoing treatment,
Cancer survivor and advocate Julie Westcott (back row, center, and at right) participated July 7-8 in One Voice Against Cancer’s National Lobby Day in Washington, D.C., where she and other cancer advocates met with Sen. Dianne Feinstein. COURTESY PHOTOS she became an active volunteer with both the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Livestrong Foundation in 2008. As a representative of Livestrong, Westcott joined advocates from more than 30 cancer organizations in One Voice Against Cancer’s National Day of Lobbying to request increased funding for cancer research and prevention programs. More than 30 Livestrong representatives participated in the two-day event, totaling almost 130 meetings among the entire team with the offices of elected officials. Westcott met with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and presented her with One Voice Against Cancer’s 2014 Cancer Champion Award. She also met with the offices of Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). “Before I left and my first day there, I was really nervous. I’ve been very involved in advocacy and fundraising for care, but I’ve never done something like this before,” said
Westcott, 39, who is celebrating five years cancerfree in September. “Even though it was a personal challenge to step out of my comfort zone, I wanted to get involved so my voice could be heard. It was an empowering experience.” As a result of funding
cuts, about 750 fewer new patients were admitted to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center last year. Advocates gathered on Capitol Hill to urge their local lawmakers to end the decline of cancer’s share of the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s medical research agency and the leading supporter of biomedical research in the world. Advocates also requested $5.26 billion for the National Cancer Institute, and $510 million for cancer programs of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We need [this community] to have a voice,” Westcott said. “I’m fairly certain that almost everyone in the community has been affected by cancer in some way. We need to have a voice, go to our representatives and ask for funding together.” For more about One Voice Against Cancer, visit www.ovaconline.org.

Local marathoner takes triathlon challenge and runs with it Besides racing success, she has also created line of women’s athletic wear BY KAREN BILLING When local triathlete Andi Neugarten isn’t pouring everything she has into training to endure grueling Ironman and half-Ironman distance races, she is putting “blood, sweat and tears” into her company Alii Lifestyle, a line of feminine and fashionable athletic wear. Her gear is sold online and in 40 stores across the country, including locally at Her Revolution in Solana Beach and Nitro in Encinitas. A percentage of the sales goes to support the Challenged Athletes Foundation, a cause close to Neugarten’s heart. One of her main sources of motivation to even try a triathlon was watching a man without legs compete in CAF’s San Diego Triathlon Challenge. Neugarten was in tears watching him power up a hill. “It was inspiring to see. It made me think, ‘If he can do it, there’s nothing I can’t do,’” she said. In March, Neugarten completed her second full Ironman triathlon (a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride capped by a 26.2-mile marathon) at the Asia Pacific Championship in Melbourne. On July 13, Neugarten finished fourth in the female 4549 age group at the Vineman Ironman 70.3. The race is a half-Ironman, breaking down to a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run in Sonoma County. Her finish qualified her for the 70.3 Ironman World Championships in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada in September. But Neugarten has decided she will not be racing, as the event falls at the same time as this year’s Interbike convention in Las Vegas, the largest exhibition in the country for the cycling industry. “My focus this year is on building my business,” Neugarten said. “I’m very excited for this coming season, I think this is going to be a big season for us.” A busy single mom of two college-age children, Neugarten is a native of South Africa. After playing competitive tennis for most of her youth,
Local Ironman triathlete Andi Neugarten: ‘I love what I’m doing every single day.’ COURTESY PHOTO she picked up running around age 16. A family friend invited her on a 6-mile run that she was sure she could not finish — but she did. Then she ran a half marathon, which rolled into her first marathon at age 23. Soon enough, the girl who wasn’t sure she could do 6 miles was completing the Comrades Ultra Marathon, run for 56.1 miles between the capital of the Kwazulu-Natal Province of South Africa and the coastal city of Durban. “Once you run it once, you get hooked,” Neugarten said of the race, which switches directions every year, changing from an uphill to downhill course and back.

Neugarten has run the challenging Comrades race four times, as well as nearly 100 marathons. In 2002, she moved to San Diego and those 26.2 miles started to lose their appeal. “I got bored with running marathons. It wasn’t inspiring or motivating me, so I decided I needed a new challenge,” Neugarten said. She found it in the triathlon, undeterred by the fact that she had no experience swimming competitively or racing a bike. She joined a masters swim program and hopped off the spin class bike and onto a real bike — honing her cycling skills by completing the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Million Dollar Challenge, a 620-mile ride from San Francisco to San Diego. Neugarten has now competed in numerous triathlons, including about 20 70.3 half-Ironman distance triathlons and those two impressive full Ironmans. For her second Ironman in March, Neugarten competed at the Ironman Melbourne in Australia, which she followed up with the St. Croix International Triathlon in May, a halfIronman distance. “It was the most beautiful and hardest race I’ve ever done,” Neugarten said of St. Croix. The “beast” of a course features a swim in choppy harbor waters, an average grade of 14 percent for the bike portion, followed by a run in hot, windy, sauna-like conditions. “It was nasty, but incredible.” When Neugarten moved to San Diego, she was working as a corporate banker. Tired of looking at other people’s businesses, she wanted to do something that fueled her passions. She ended up getting her dream job, working for Active Network (active.com) as the director of new business for the international division. Her job entailed traveling to Europe to open new markets. For four months, she lived the dream until the company tried to do an initial public offering and a new CFO came aboard, shutting down all spending and cutting all new hires. “I thought I had died and life was over, because how See MARATHONER, page 6

It’s no stretch for RSF yoga instructor to ‘give back’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK As one of North County’s most prolific yoga instructors, Stacy McCarthy doesn’t just teach yoga, she lives the yoga lifestyle. Selfless service, or seva in Sanskrit, is an important concept of yoga — one that the Rancho Santa Fe resident practices daily. “When we give and we give from the heart, there’s nothing more gratifying than that,” McCarthy said. Although it’s home to the San Diego Padres, hundreds of San Diego yoga devotees transform Petco Park into a giant yoga studio every year. To raise awareness about the benefits of yoga, as well as funds for research, treatment and education programs, McCarthy co-led a master yoga class in June during City of Hope’s fourth annual Yoga for Hope at the downtown San Diego ballpark. Having participated in the event since it first launched, she has helped make it the success it is today. This year’s event raised more than $80,000 for City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading centers for cancer treatment and research,
Stacy McCarthy runs her own yoga studio, and is also a MiraCosta College faculty member. ‘I’m most proud of making a difference,’ she says. Photo by Kristina Houck through more than 70 donation-based yoga classes and the fundraising efforts of participants. “It’s been so rewarding to watch this event grow,” she said. McCarthy’s connections in the yoga world have definitely helped. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, it’s a network she has developed since 1991, when she helped launch the original Frog’s Athletic Club in Solana Beach. In 1992, McCarthy brought yoga classes to the health club, recruiting Dominic Corigliano to teach the first classes. Corigliano quickly became her mentor. “I’ve just lived and breathed yoga since then,” said McCarthy, who began teaching classes in 1994. “It’s been my passion ever since.” In the years that followed, enrollment in the yoga sessions increased, and McCarthy worked her way up through management at Frog’s. She was promoted to chief operating
officer in 1997. After a corporate merger and acquisition, she decided to open her own business. “It was kind of a desk job, so it did not fit my nature,” explained McCarthy, who has a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science from Colorado State University. “Since then, I’ve slowly built my business. I’ve done just about everything there is to do with yoga.” Yoga NamaStacy launched in 1999. In 15 years, McCarthy has taught thousands of students and trained hundreds of teachers. She’s released five “Yoga Body” instructional DVDs and is the author of “Transformational Teaching Through Yoga Adjustments,” published in 2012. Besides holding private classes and wellness retreats, McCarthy is a yoga teacher and faculty member at MiraCosta College. She also teaches at Bay Club Carmel Valley and offers classes on SprioFIT, a live, on-demand online fitness network. “I’m most proud of making a difference, making people feel like they’re becoming the best version of themselves — not through me, but through the intro-
duction and practice of yoga,” McCarthy said. “It’s the yoga that makes a difference in their lives. I’ve just been the fortunate one to introduce it to them, or be their teacher.” Whether it’s through her business or volunteer work, McCarthy said she is “blessed” to share yoga with others. In addition to Yoga for Hope, McCarthy has held a number of Doga Yoga classes with her Bernese Mountain dogs, Lily and the late Bud-
dha. Event proceeds have benefited the Helen Woodward Animal Center and Rancho Coastal Humane Society. “I’ve always felt that when you’re blessed to do what you love to do, you need to give back,” McCarthy said. “If I’m available and someone asks me to do something to help their cause, I always say ‘yes.’ It brings me as much joy as anything else.” Visit www.yoganamastacy.com.

would I ever replace my dream job?” said Neugarten. After licking her wounds, she pulled herself together and started to seriously consider starting her own business, driven by her personal experiences and passions. As an athlete, she often had trouble finding the right clothing. “I really couldn’t find clothing that I loved to wear as an athlete and still feel beautiful,” Neugarten said. “Just because I’m athletic and muscular doesn’t mean I’m one of the boys.” She attended her first Interbike conference in Vegas just to see if what she was looking for existed anywhere in the market. When she found that it didn’t, she jumped into starting her own business, much as she had the triathlon — she didn’t know anything about design or manufacturing. After a lot of “digging and scratching,” she joined forces with the right team of people in May 2012 and was determined to launch at the next Interbike show in the fall. “We had a small line of cycling and triathlon apparel, and we made a splash with our details like rhine-
stone zippers and ruching,” Neugarten said. “We had a business.” After taking orders, she then had to figure out how to finance it. She admits that the past couple of years have been a challenge with juggling credit cards and a lot of hard work, but she’s gone the distance. “If it was easy, everyone would do it,” said Neugarten, invoking a mantra often applied to things like ultramarathons and Ironmans. “I love what I’m doing every single day. I’m not at work; I’m creating. The best part is how much I have learned over the last two years.” Alii Lifestyle (aliilifestyle.com) is named for Alii Drive, the street in Kona that is home to the Ironman finish line. “It’s a feminine name, but it fits with the passion, perseverance, motivation and hard work that has gone into every athlete’s journey to the finish line,” Neugarten said. With her clothing, she goes for the most beautiful colors and the most “yummy delicious” Italian highperformance fabrics. But functionality comes first. “I love compression. When you’re running, you don’t want to feel like your stomach is protruding or
your shirt’s riding up. Everything is held in place,” Neugarten said. “I feel like triathlon shorts are always the tiniest things, and it’s such a confidence thing if they don’t fit right. It makes me race better and train better if I’m not worried about how I look in my shorts.” In 2013, Alii launched a team of 12 Elite athletes and 20 brand ambassadors. Some of her wellknown brand ambassadors are “Iron Icons” Paula Newby-Fraser, who won the Ironman Championship eight times; Julie Moss, who memorably collapsed in exhaustion near the finish line of Kona in 1982 and willed herself to crawl the final 200 meters of the race; and Kathleen McCartney-Hearst, who shocked herself by passing Moss to win her first Ironman. Many of the athletes who represent Alii have inspirational stories, such as Aurora Colello, a triathlete and mother of four who took a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2009 as a challenge to become more active, and Luana Dias Concepcion, mother of a specialneeds child. Concepcion is training for her first Ironman in Arizona year. “I am an athlete, and training and racing are a huge part of my life — but I

am a woman! When I am not training, I am wearing high heels, and I love my skirts and dresses,” said Colello. “I love to look feminine and I love that I can still race hard-core Half Ironman and look feminine and sexy in Andi’s line.” Since her diagnosis, Colello has completed more than 20 triathlons. She is training for 70.3 Ironman Miami, her second half Ironman. In her first Half Ironman two years ago, she finished fifth in her age group. Concepcion has been competing in triathlons for four years and works as a fitness instructor. She said she lives in workout clothes and has tried “every brand known to woman” but loves Alii’s flattering leggings and comfy tanks she can wear all the time. The bike shorts are her favorite. Concepcion founded a nonprofit called Light Endurance that repurposes race medals for special-needs children, reuses race T-shirts to make blankets for the homeless and raises money for families of cancer patients. “Andi really thought of all the details — she’s the modern super-trifecta-businesswoman-athletic-fitnessoriented-I-can-do-it-all kind of woman,” said Concepcion, who just placed fourth in her age group at the San Diego International Triathlon. “I think Andi is an amazing businesswoman, an amazing athlete and also a genuine person. She gives back when she can and works harder than anyone I know.” For Neugarten to run her own business and train for endurance events is no easy task. More than finding the time to complete her workouts, she makes the time, because it’s important to her. “It’s what I love. There’s nothing better for me than feeling the endorphins from my training and feeling like I’m in shape,” Neugarten said. “I think it makes me better in everything I do — the discipline it teaches you — the fact that you get out what you put in.” While Neugarten will skip the 70.3 world championships this year, she has been there twice before. In both her business and athletic endeavors, her aim is high. “My goal is to get to the Ironman World Championships in Kona,” said Neugarten, adding with unblinking conviction, “and I will.” For more on Alii Lifestyle, visit aliilife style.com.

TOP PRODUCING AGENT From the first day I met Janet, she presented herself to be an individual you could rely on to take you through the trying ordeal of purchasing or selling a home. Viewing properties, she tuned herself into what it was I was looking for in a home, and helped me to find it. Her wise counsel led me to making an offer on my dream, and that fair and reasonable offer was accepted without counter. During the escrow process she was there for me in answering any and all of my questions. She also assisted me in several property viewings which I needed to fully assess the details of my new potential residence. Upon closing, which was on time as scheduled, she was there handing me the keys to my new home with her wonderful reassuring smile and a much needed hug. If I sound high on Janet Lawless Christ, I am. She came to my rescue during a time in my personal life when I had just about every life stressor in the book. If you desire a professional above reproach, someone who will identify areas of concern and anticipate problems, a caring individual who will be there for you in the tough times there is only one choice. Dale A. Jensen, A very satisfied, happy client of the best realtor on the planet, Janet Lawless Christ.

Fed Biz captures Grade II, $200,000 San Diego Handicap The 5-year-old Fed Biz took his rivals wire-to-wire in the Grade II, $200,000 San Diego Handicap on July 26 at Del Mar, scoring by 5 1/4 lengths. With Martin Garcia in the saddle, Fed Biz completed the 1 1/16 miles on the Polytrack in a record time of 1:41, breaking Zenyatta’s 6-year-old mark. The 25-1 long shot Footbridge came in second, with You Know I Know a length behind in third. East Coast invader and race favorite Frac Daddy was fourth. The winner is owned by Kaleem Shah and partners and trained by Bob Baffert, who was noncommittal as to his horse’s next start as of Sunday. In other action during the weekend, Go West Marie was victorious in the $200,000 Fleet Treat Stakes, Rock Me Baby won the $150,500 California Dreamin’ Handicap, and Big Macher took the Grade I, $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes. Also, trainer Art Sherman of Rancho Bernardo (of California Chrome fame) was presented with the Laffit Pincay Jr. Award. Races were taken off the turf on Sunday as a precautionary measure due to four breakdowns that had occurred on the course since Opening Day on July 17. The course is being aerated and watered, and the rail repositioned, in an effort to improve the safety of horses and riders, according to a statement released by the track. — Photo and report by Kelley Carlson
‘Our counselors do a wonderful job,’ says Linda Durket, executive director of the Community Center, about the summer camp offered at the RSF Community Center.
RSF Community Center Summer Camp Counselors focus on fun The summer camp counselors at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center take their jobs seriously but that doesn’t mean they don’t have fun. In fact, fun is at the heart of the center’s summer camp programs. Program Director Michelle Shah says, “We all remember what a blast summers were as a kid, and our counselors give that feeling of spontaneity and adventure to our campers. Even though they’re learning, they have lots of opportunities to relax and just play.” Linda Durket, executive director of the Community Center, says, “Our counselors do a wonderful job taking campers all over San Diego and giving them a sense of adventure and respect for the places they visit. Whether it’s exploring nature, culture or recreation, our counselors make sure everyone is having a good time. The first thing parents ask their children when they pick them up at the end of the day is, ‘Did you have fun?’ Our goal is to have every camper say, ‘Yes!’” The center has a 1:5 counselor-to-camper ratio allowing counselors to get to know each child and tailor activities to their interests. “Our campers become like family,” Durket says. “They really enjoy the support of being with friends and staff who care so much about them.” The center can accept only 20 Camp Rancho kids per day. “We’re hoping to replace our eight-seat vans with 12-seaters to accommodate demand, so we’re reaching out to local car dealers. As a nonprofit, we rely on donations. Our camps have waiting lists, and we’d love to be able to accept more children.” In addition to day trips, the center also offers weeklong classes for children looking to learn specific skills such as robotics, healthy cooking, 3D art and basketball. For a complete listing of classes and camps visit rsfcc.org or call 858-756-2461. The RSF Community Center is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has provided summer and after school programs for local youth for more than 40 years.

TPHS baseball alum Taylor Murphy excelling in pro ball BY GIDEON RUBIN It was during a breakout senior year at Torrey Pines High that Taylor Murphy first popped up on the radar of professional scouts. Shortly after graduation, Murphy was selected by the hometown San Diego Padres in the 40th round of the June 2011 amateur draft. He declined, honoring a commitment to the University of the Pacific in Stockton. Three years later, Murphy, who earlier this year completed his junior year at Pacific, got another shot at professional baseball. And this time, he pounced. Murphy was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 18th round of the amateur draft. He was the 548th overall pick in this year’s draft. His improved draft status makes reaching the majors more realistic. “This time it was more feasible that I was actually going to commit to it and go do it,” Murphy said. “I was going to give pro ball a shot.” Murphy’s draft stock skyrocketed during his junior year at Pacific. The Tigers’ right fielder was named to the All-West Coast Conference honorable mention team after batting .315 with five homers and 34 RBI in 53 games. His junior campaign followed two seasons that did not go well from a baseball standpoint. He batted just .232 his freshman year and .211 as a sophomore. Murphy underwent surgery for health problems that helped get his career back on track. “Things started clicking for me this
year, I started playing the way I should be playing,” he said. “I struggled at first, but this year I found my potential again, and I definitely feel that I’m on the upswing now.” Murphy has carried that upswing into the early portion of his professional career. In his first two months since being assigned to the Class-A Mahoning Valley (Niles, Ohio) Scrappers in the New YorkPenn League, Murphy is putting up big numbers. Through his first 26 games, he was batting .315 with three homers and 14 RBI. “I’m just trying to carry over what I was doing at Pacific this year, keeping it loose and not taking myself too seriously and just having fun with the game,” Murphy said. Baseball hasn’t always been fun for him, though. He credits a solid support system, which includes his family and the coaching staff at Pacific, with helping him get through a difficult first two years of college ball in which his health issues and subpar performance weighed on him. “Using ‘the village’ to make it through that whole experience without having to rely exclusively on myself helped me a lot,” Murphy said. Among those he turned to was cousin Geoff Blum, a former major league infielder who has mentored Murphy practically since he was a toddler. “When I started playing Pony League he’d always be there for me when I had questions about the game,” Murphy said. “He’s always been there to text or call or meet up with at all the family events (so I
In his first two months with the Class-A Mahoning Valley (Niles, Ohio) Scrappers in the New York-Penn League, Taylor Murphy is putting up big numbers. MAHONING VALLEY SCRAPPERS
can) just pick his brain.” Murphy credits Blum with helping the transition to pro ball seem less daunting. “Just having somebody that close to the game in the pros made it feel accessible and not so far away,” he said. Murphy acknowledged experiencing
adversity from a baseball standpoint even before he went to college. He didn’t distinguish himself until winning the starting shortstop job his senior year. He batted .345 (45 for 155) that year in 37 games as an everyday player. As a junior, he batted .286 (16 for 56) in 26 games. Unlike most of his college peers who were standouts at their programs, Murphy came out of a Torrey Pines program in which standing out was no easy task — even for a player who would soon go on to join the professional ranks. “It was definitely a competitive team,” Murphy said. “Getting to play shortstop for that team (senior year) was great.” He believes his high school experience helped prepare him for future challenges. “The adversity and the failure I went through at Torrey Pines definitely helped prepare me for endeavors at Pacific and now in pro ball,” he said. Murphy said he never regretted walking away from an opportunity to play professionally right out of high school. He majored in business administration at Pacific. “I knew I made the right decision,” he said. “Being a late-round draft pick out of high school, that wasn’t going to be enough to pull me away from a good scholarship.”

BY RANDI CRAWFORD Every year, Aspen, Colo., hosts the “Aspen Ideas Festival,” an incredibly powerful summit of leaders from around the world, who come together and share ideas. This year, there was a very interesting discussion with Indra K. Nooyi, the chairman and CEO of PepsiCo. A friend of mine attended the conference and raved about this speaker, so I read the transcript and had to share. Nooyi is telling the audience about the time she learned that she was the new CEO of PepsiCo, and I want to paraphrase some of what she said. “I got a call at about 9:30 p.m. from the existing chairman and CEO at that time, and he said to me, ‘Indra, we’re going to announce you as president and put you on the board of directors.’ I was overwhelmed because, you know, look at my background, where I came from. To be president of an iconic American company, and to be on the board of directors, I thought was just — something special had happened to me. “So rather than stay and work till midnight, I decided to go home and share the good news with my family. I got home at about 10, parked the car, got into the garage, and my mother was waiting at the top of the stairs. I said to Mom, ‘I’ve got great news for you.’ And she said, ‘Well, let the news wait. Can you go out and get some milk?’ “I said to Mom, ‘Look, I looked in the garage, looks like my husband is home. What time did he get home?’ She said 8 o’clock. “I said, ‘Why didn’t you ask him to buy the milk?’ “‘Because he’s tired, OK?’ “‘Mom, we have a couple that help us at home, why didn’t you ask them to get the milk?’ She said, ‘Because I forgot.’ I said, ‘OK, fine.’ She said, ‘Just go get the milk. We need it for the morning.’ “So I — like a dutiful daughter — I went out and got the milk and came back. I sort of banged it on the counter and I said, ‘I had great news for you. I was just told that I’m going to be president and on the board of directors of PepsiCo. And all that you want me to do is to go out and get the milk. What kind of a mom are you?’ “And she said to me, ‘Let me explain something to you. You might be president of PepsiCo, you might be on the board of directors, but when you enter this house, you’re the wife, you’re the daughter, you’re the daughter-in-law, you’re the mother, you’re all of that. Nobody else can take that place. So leave that damn crown in the garage.’” How can you not love that story? Her mother hit the nail on the head. Nobody at home cares who you are in your professional life. To your family, you are Mom, Mother, Mommy, and Mama. If they don’t have their morning cereal, they look to you. If they can’t find a missing sock, it’s your fault. If they want to have a friend to sleep over, you need to OK the decision. If they get hurt, you are taking them to the hospital. You might be a working mom, but at the end of the day, you’re Mom. Now if you read the entire transcript, this woman is totally dialed in. She admits that women can’t have it all. If you’re going to climb the corporate ladder, especially as high as she did, then you pay a price. You travel, and go out to dinner meetings, and consequently, miss a lot of your kids’ growing up. She talked about how her secretary and support staff helped her to “streamline parenting” by knowing her house rules and having her permission to enforce them. I’m a big fan, because she tells it like it is. I get frustrated with all the moms who say that you can have it all. No, you can’t. Something will always suffer, and that’s just life. I’m not judging. It’s just a fact that when you’re a working mom, you can’t possibly put everyone and everything at the top of the list. And Indra’s mother pointing out that she can leave the crown in the garage is priceless. If Indra wants the role of mom, wife, daughter, sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as her CEO position, then something has to give. Once you walk in that door, you are the chef, the laundress, the chauffeur, cleaning lady, therapist, cheerleader and much more. I thought this was an incredible talk and definitely wanted to share. What do you think? Can moms have it all? Email me at www.randiccrawford@gmail.com. LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

Leave no one behind in Alzheimer’s research BY MICHAEL S. RAFII, MD, PHD UC SAN DIEGO Today in the U.S., more than 5 million people are living with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. According to a 2009 study by the Alzheimer’s Association, of those 5 million people, more than 500,000 live in California. As we live longer, rates of Alzheimer’s disease have grown dramatically, and the disease is now cited as the third leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death in California. As researchers gather this month in Copenhagen to discuss exciting developments in the field at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, media will rightly be focused on the encouraging strides being made toward early intervention and preventive therapies. At the same time, AD clinical researchers cannot — and will not — leave anyone behind as the research progresses. We are well aware that new therapies are desperately needed for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. No new drug has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Alzheimer’s since 2003 and advances in treatment options for patients already living with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s remain a critical need. Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia, develops when nerve cells in the brain no longer function normally, causing a change in memory. Mild to moderate Alzheimer’s signals the stage at which the decline in cognitive function becomes apparent to friends and family. Symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s include everything from increased difficulty performing simple tasks such as paying bills, to forgetfulness about one’s personal history and becoming moody and withdrawn in social situations. For those who have ever loved or cared for someone with Alzheimer’s disease, it becomes apparent that caring for patients often becomes a full-time job, affecting quality of life not only for the patient but for the caregiver. For caregivers, the gradual but permanent decline in their loved one’s mental and physical capabilities often takes a deep emotional and psychological toll. In the San Diego region, researchers at UCSD and other clinical research organizations are committed to providing patients with access to studies that will help advance research on Alzheimer’s at all stages of the disease. To push this initiative forward, UCSD is participating in the NOBLE Study, a clinical trial of a medication that uses a
MICHAEL S. RAFII, MD, PHD neuroprotectant approach that has been successful in many central nervous system disorders, including stroke and Parkinson’s disease. The study will focus on evaluating a medication specifically for those with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The NOBLE study is one example of how patients and their families can play a critical role in helping researchers find new treatments to improve the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s, and we look forward to working with the San Diego community to meet this pressing healthcare challenge. Those interested in learning more should contact the Comprehensive Alzheimer’s Program — UC San Diego (CAP) at 858-2461300. Participants will be See ALZHEIMER’S, page 21
OBITUARIES
Patricia Ann Ziskin Watts 1956 – 2014 Patty passed away peacefully on June 22, 2014, her loving family by her side, in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she had lived for many years. She died as she lived – on her own terms, in her own way, positive and fearless. Patty was born on
October 19, 1956, in Palm Springs, California, but grew up in Rancho Santa Fe where her family relocated in 1964. She attended Rancho Santa Fe Elementary, graduated from San Dieguito High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from California State University Stanislaus. After college, Patty settled in San Francisco where she met Dan Watts, whom she married in 1983. Their son, David, was born in 1985. Shortly thereafter, she and her family moved to Arizona, where she lived for the remainder of her life. Patty had many interests, including books, animals, horseback riding, photography, travel, hiking, motorcycles, music, the beach, cycling, and spending time with David and Dan. Despite being
a private person, Patty dedicated her life to the service of others. In her own quiet way, Patty was a seeker of enlightenment, both worldly and spiritual. Whatever answers she may have found, she also understood the value of the knowledge and experience gained by the search itself. She had an adventurous, independent spirit, yet also found joy in the simpler things in life – working in her yard, reading, or spending time with friends and family. Patty is survived by husband, Dan; son, David; mother, Dorothy; sisters, Suzy and Barbara; and brothers, Michael and Peter. She is preceded in death by her father, Alvin.

Do Solana Beach Voters Care that the Irrigation District is ‘Rolling in Dough’ from Surplus Cash Flow? In twelve years as a Director of the Santa Fe Irrigation District, I have seen a lot of ups and downs. Up now is the cash balance of the District, at an all time high, $29.5 million. I have voted ‘no’ ten times in a row on ten different proposals to raise rates. I thought the District was trying to raise rates too high, too fast. The rationale for those rate increases was the District’s $61 million “asset management master plan,” for pipes in the ground and needed system improvements. The financing plan was “pay as you go,” raising money through three 12% annual rate increases. I voted ‘no’ because I never thought the District’s spending would approach what the Staff was projecting. It hasn’t; it’s not even close. On July 1, 2010 the District’s cash balance was $21.25 million, today it is over $29.5 million, from $8 million surplus cash flow over four years. Each year, the Board of Directors “appropriates” capital funds that the Staff says they will spend, but over the past five years, spending has lagged behind, dramatically:
2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
$ Carried over From Prior Year 1.243m 8.342m 6.700m 3.547m 3.995m 3.872m
$ Budget Appropriation 8.394m 3.096m 5.500m 1.783m 3.290m 8.417m
$Actual Spending 1.453m 3.239m 6.109m 1.130m (6/30/14 audit in process) (current fiscal year)
From 2007 to 2013, the audited cash flow “acquisition of capital assets” shows $18,351,000 of infrastructure investment, but surplus revenue has accumulated to the current record high $29.5 million. My advice, in 2010, was one rate increase at time, spread out over multiple years, instead of three annual increases, to truly “pay as you go” but “go slow” and only raise rates enough to cover the cash going out the door, into the ground for construction. Over the past seven years my water bill has doubled due to compounding all those annual rate increases. So, what are we going to do about it? Citizens can volunteer to serve on the Irrigation District board, if they live in one of the three divisions of the District’s five member board that will be on the ballot this November; two divisions are in Solana Beach, along the sea coast. See the map on the District’s web site www.sfidwater.org under “Board of Directors.” You can put your name on the ballot before August 8th by filing simple forms at the County Registrar of Voters, www.sdvote.com. You don’t have to circulate a petition or get signatures to get on the ballot. You can do it by yourself. On June 19th the ruling majority of the Irrigation District Board once again approved over my objection a budget “appropriating” a $12.5 million capital budget. I predict another year of “surplus cash flow”, increasing the District’s “dough” to over $30 million. All the other Directors were in favor of a 5% salary raise awarded to the District’s General Manager on May 15th, including two directors in Solana Beach who are up for re-election in November. The salary of the General Manager is now $213,000 per year (+17% pension contribution), $30,000 higher than the Solana Beach City Manager. According to the State Comptroller, in 2012 the average wage for Solana Beach’s 156 employees was $30,172. For the Irrigation District’s 52 employees, the average wage was $75,040. Now do you understand why I voted ‘no’ in 2012 and 2014 when the ruling majority on the Irrigation District Board raised wages for employees? Then why, as of July 25th, has no one in Solana Beach gone to the Registrar of Voters to file papers to run for the two available seats? If no one puts their name on the ballot by August 8th, then the incumbent directors get to keep their seats for four more years, with no election contest.
At the time, Santa Fe general manager Michael Bardin said he believed local water reserves would carry San Diego County through this year without the need for mandatory cutbacks. But officials with the Santa Fe district and the San Diego County Water Authority — the district’s wholesale water supplier — said the statewide water shortage has worsened over the past six months. “Things have changed and we need to go to the next level. This is a serious situation. Hopefully this winter will provide some relief. If this (drought) continues, we’re probably heading toward allocation (also known as water rationing) if we don’t get a good winter,” said Michael Hogan, president of the Santa Fe board of directors. Hogan pointed to two key factors that have exacerbated the three-year drought conditions during the first half of 2014 — a decision by state officials to not to allocate any water from Northern California to Southern California, and record-breaking heat experienced by the state during that period. As a result of the hotterthan-normal temperatures this year, demand for water increased and water agencies had to pull more water from their reserves than was anticipated, said Jason Foster, director of public outreach and conservation with the San Diego County Water
Authority. “The drought has deepened,” Foster said. Those conditions led the water authority board to declare a “drought alert,” its second of four levels of drought response, on Thursday, July 24. That action followed a decision on July 15 by the State Water Resources Control Board to require water agencies and their customers to conserve water. During the last drought, from 2009 to 2011, the water authority’s key supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, cut back its water deliveries to San Diego County. While that hasn’t happened yet this year, local water officials will be keeping a close eye on the weather in the coming months, said Foster. “If we get another dry winter, actual cuts to our water supply could come as early as next year,” Foster said. If the Santa Fe board votes to approve the Level 2 response as expected, the water-use restrictions would take effect around the end of August. Those who don’t comply with the rules face a warning letter, followed by a series of escalating fines for repeated violations, said Jessica Parks, Santa Fe’s public information officer. The fines could reach $500 a day for a fourth violation, she said. The district plans to set up a hotline that residents can use to report suspected water-use violations, and
district staff will also be out in the field monitoring water use, she said. The district also has rebates, incentives and assistance programs to help customers save water, she said. For example, district residents can request a free survey of their property by district staff, who will make recommendations and offer water-saving tips. “We are here to help them in water conservation and being water efficient,” Parks said. “We want customers to know we are here to help them, not to police them.” The district did not have to fine any residents between 2009 and 2011, the last time water-use restrictions were in place, Parks said. “Everyone complied with the regulations.” For more information about the district’s conservation programs, residents can visit www.sfidwater.org/conservation. The news about water supplies isn’t all bad. Hogan and Foster said the desalination plant now under construction on the Carlsbad coast may be in operation by late 2015, providing a “drought-proof” supply equal to 8 percent of the county’s current water needs. The water authority also has invested in additional water storage capacity, such as the raising of the San Vicente Dam in Lakeside, which will allow the capture and storage of more water when Mother Nature does turn on the faucet.
SFID mandatory water use restrictions for Water Shortage Response Level 2 •Stop water waste resulting from inefficient landscape irrigation, such as runoff, low head drainage, or overspray, etc. Similarly, stop water flows onto non-targeted areas, such as adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, hardscapes, roadways, or structures. •Irrigate residential and commercial landscape before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m. only. •Limit residential and commercial landscape irrigation to no more than three (3) assigned days per week on a schedule established by the general manager and posted by the District. •Limit lawn watering and commercial landscape watering to no more than ten (10) minutes per watering station per assigned day.

them understand the complete nature of the project in an open-minded way.” Yash said some of the big reasons the committee has been tasked with exploring the feasibility of a pool and fitness center is that RSF Golf Club memberships are down 27 percent over the past 10 years and RSF Tennis Club memberships are down 29 percent over the past five years. The facility would allow the community to remain relevant for existing residents and young families and become more “vibrant” for the next generations of buyers. “It would round out the whole complex and make it more attractive to join all three clubs,” Yash said. “A lot of people in the Covenant have to drive 20 to 30 minutes to get to a workout in the morning. There was a positive response to having a workout facility 5 minutes from home.” At the meeting, Kirk Mason, designer of the facilities at Santaluz, said that the proposed location between the player’s clubhouse and the tennis clubhouse

is nine days old (as of this writing–July 27). Five of the deaths were from racing. Turf course racing was set to resume Wednesday, July 30 (after press time for this newspaper), after two turf races were moved Sunday to the Polytrack to allow for a complete aeration, watering and rail movement to give horses softer turf this week. The $150,000 California Dreamin’ Handicap, fifth on the card, was one of the two races moved from turf to Polytrack, but it didn’t matter for trainer Craig Dollase’s Rock Me Baby. Jockey Corey Nakatani, who won two races on the day, let the 5-yearold gelding settle in and then closed to beat long shot Starspangled Heat, with jockey Stewart Elliott aboard for Barry Abrams, by 3¼ lengths. Dollase said he’ll point Rock Me Baby for the BC Turf Sprint or BC Dirt Mile. “This horse deserved this race after getting beat a head in (California Dreamin’) last year,” said Dollase, who won his 10th Del Mar stakes race, first this meeting. He said he was glad that Del Mar suspended turf racing to get the grass right for

seems to be the most ideal, as it creates a minimal disruption of the existing clubs. The size of the health club facility would be about 15,000 square feet, capable of supporting 600 to 800 memberships. The club would include free weights, yoga, aerobics, fitness machines, casual dining and locker rooms. For the pool facility, the committee discussed having an adult lap pool, a family pool with zero entry, whirlpool, splash pad and shaded areas. “Some people were concerned with the size of the project and what happens if we don’t have enough memberships and how it’s going to operate,” Yash said. “The committee is very open and the discussions are very collegial … we try to be as open and forthright as possible.” Yash said many in attendance were most interested in the financing. The committee discussed using money from the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Community Enhancement Fund and initiation fees. In the committee’s “cursory figures,” members could add fitness to their golf and tennis memberships by paying a $2,500
pre-opening initiation fee and $160 in monthly dues. After opening, any existing golf or fitness members could join with an initiation fee to be determined and charged the same monthly fee. Any Covenant member not a member of the RSF Golf or Tennis Club could join the health club by paying a $10,000 initiation fee and $250 in monthly dues. Per the cursory numbers, the committee estimated that around 500 people could join in the pre-opening period, generating over $3 million in revenue. They assumed about a net 35 new members annually through the third year. The committee estimated generating about $1,213,800 in dues in the first year and $1,496,400 by year three. The committee’s assumptions on expenses so far includes $97,000 for pool utilities and chemicals, 2.5 full-time club employees and trainers’ contract labor. The committee continues to make expense calculations based on comparisons with other local clubs. The committee will next meet on Aug. 19.
racing. “It’s been very hard and very firm, but they’ll get it right,” Dollase said. “They have a good crew out there. As horsemen, we’re looking out for the health of these horses.” Abrams kept his gelding, Starspangled Heat, in the fifth race despite it being moved from turf to Poly, and he finished second. He said he had little choice because his next opportunity on the turf wouldn’t be until October at Santa Anita. “Honestly, it’s not the track,” Abrams said, adding that many factors go into breakdowns, including injuries that may not show up through inspections by veterinarians. “This is a very hard turf track, and those unseen injuries may show up on it.” Both ovals — the Polytrack and the turf course — will change this week, as wax was scheduled to be added to the Polytrack on Monday, probably putting an end to the run of track records. Desert Steel was the latest to break a mark that lasted all of one week. Trained by Simon Calaghan, the daughter of Desert Code ran 5 furlongs in 56.76 seconds to shatter the record set last Sunday by Luminance of 57.39 seconds. Luminance
had broken a record that lasted all of four races, set by Jerry Hollendorfer’s Tara’s Tango. This article was first published in U-T San Diego on July 27.

Designer Zandra Rhodes named a ‘Dame of the British Empire’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH Damehood — the female equivalent of knighthood — has been awarded to fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes, a resident of Del Mar and London. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth bestowed the Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) status upon Rhodes as part of her annual Birthday Honors list. The award recognizes Rhodes’ contributions to the fashion industry and specifically for founding Britain’s Fashion and Textile Museum in London in 2003; for her charitable work as breast cancer ambassador for London’s Mayor Boris Johnson; and for her role as Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts, which has campuses in Kent and Surrey, England. Rhodes received a letter from Britain’s Prime Minister’s office informing her of the award and inquiring whether she would accept it, “which of course, I did,” said Rhodes. “Then I filled out a form asking what I’d like to be known as, so I chose Dame Zandra Rhodes.” Although Rhodes knew on May 19, the news was kept under wraps until the official release that coincides with the recognition of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth, which is a Saturday in June. (Her actual birthday is April 21, 1926.) The official title will be given to Rhodes, with the DBE medal, at a formal luncheon at Buckingham Palace with a choice of three dates later this summer. “I do hope it will be the Queen giving the honors,” said Rhodes, “but it might be Prince Charles.” Rhodes has designed for the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and continues to dress celebrities, including Kylie Minogue, Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton. She is re-
nowned in California for her dramatic opera set and costume designs, and is now on the board of the San Diego Opera. She has helped raise $40 million for the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center in La Jolla, including donating artwork for the past 18 years of fundraisers. She has also done numerous charity fashion shows, such as “Go Red For Women,” which raises awareness to help prevent heart disease in women, and more. Some of Rhodes’ closest American friends feted her at a luncheon at La Jolla’s Herringbone Restaurant when the Dameship was made public. Organized by Dixie Unruh and Rachel York, the group of women — Iris Strauss, Erika Torri, Joyce Butler, Sally Stiegler, Marion Ross, Fiona Tudor, Chetna Bhatt and Valerie Cooper — sported pink wigs in homage to Rhodes’ signature cotton candy-colored bob. “I got there a little early and the waitress complimented me on my hair,” said Unruh, “I explained that it wasn’t my own hair, but a wig. Then Zandra arrived and the same waitress complimented her on her wig, and she said, ‘It’s not a wig, it’s my own hair.’ So we all laughed about that.” Each person around the table mentioned something about Zandra that was special and how she had touched their lives. “To me, she deserves this honor so much, because she not only designs fabulous opera sets and costumes and incredible outfits and dresses, she is so kind to everyone she meets and she is a fabulous cook, despite all the stress and pressure,” said Unruh. On the other side of the pond, Rhodes said that she will have a celebratory dinner in the penthouse suite of the Fashion and Textile Museum. Her friend Andrew Logan will prob-
ably hold a ball in his London glass-house studio, “and probably compulsory crowns will be worn by all,” she added. Rhodes’ fashion collections were the subject of a short documentary that was included in the La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival, held July 24-26. The film was nominated for best costume and best art direction. Despite her fame, Rhodes remains humble and pokes fun at her situation, “Now I’ve got the problem of thinking of a hat and an outfit. It might sound simple, but it’s not,” she joked. “I’ll have to do something very chic, probably a suit rather than a dress.” Photos by Vincent Andrunas. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com.

Middle Eastern, American youth clasp Hands of Peace
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK While war rages in the Middle East, Israeli, Palestinian and American youth promoted peace during a summer camp July 7-24 at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. Organized by Hands of Peace, the nonprofit aims to build bridges between teens divided by conflict, culture, geography and history. “We’re trying to provide a safe space for these kids so they can communicate and listen to each other,” said San Diego Site Director Scott Silk. “We believe that by giving them this space to talk and to be together, we are giving the opposing side a human face — for all involved. That’s the start to any kind of peace — understanding that the people on the other side are actually human, too.” For the past nine years, Silk has worked with the Chicago-based nonprofit, which holds annual summer retreats for students ages 15 through 18. This summer, the group held its 11th summer program with 42 teens in Chicago, and Silk helped launch a sister program in San Diego’s coastal North County. “The goal is to touch as many kids as we possibly can,” said Silk, who is Jewish and teaches MidScott Silk and Rana Haddad dle East and American history at Pacific Ridge School, a private school for grades 7 through 12. “I’ve been so amazed and touched by the community of people that’s rallied around this organization. There are hundreds of people here who are doing their part in some way or another.” Hands of Peace had to raise $140,000 to kick off its inaugural 17-day retreat in Carlsbad. All of the 24 participants received full or partial scholarships, with many having experienced violence and loss as a result of the ongoing IsraeliPalestinian conflict.

The things that you shared with your friends, here, at Hands of Peace, these are the same people that you’re living with in war back home.” Now 26, Haddad works with the organization to help promote peace and develop future leaders. Still, she said it isn’t always easy. “It’s really hard to be away from home and to talk about peace while there’s war back home,” Haddad said. “If it’s going to affect the process, however, I think it will affect it for the good.

The main dining area of Café Cantata is simple yet quaint.
Café Cantata: A coffee shop and a whole lot more! BY KELLEY CARLSON ig Tree Café owner Johan Engman has branched out with a new restaurant concept. In June, he opened Café Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade, in the space previously occupied by longtime coffeehouse fixture Pannikin. “It’s exciting for me to take over; Pannikin was so well-known,” Engman said. “They did a tremendous job. I hope we can build a nice following.” Like its predecessor, Café Cantata has a cozy “coffeehouse” vibe, although the space has been remodeled with reclaimed wood and brick. There are comforts such as leather couches and plush chairs, and for an eclectic touch, one wall features a beach cruiser positioned so that its wheels comprise the “o”s in the word “food.” Painted on a wall just inside the entrance is an explanation of the eatery’s name, derived from Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Coffee Cantata,” a lighthearted opera about java addiction. Live music from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays further enhances the relaxed atmosphere. To satiate one’s caffeine cravings, there’s everything from mochas to macchiatos, and 100-percent certified organic fair-trade custom blends. Among the specialty beverages is the Iced Cantata Latte, a blend of chai, vanilla and espresso. Another is the C-12, made from coffee that is cold-brewed more than 12 hours at a few drops per second, resulting in 67 percent less acidity but increased caffeine. Café Cantata isn’t just about java, though. Guests can order breakfast or lunch dishes all day long. They can select something as

Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly/menurecipes
■ This week’s recipe:
Café Cantata’s Gluten-Free French Toast simple as a muffin and freshly squeezed orange juice, or an entree that’s a bit more complex such as the Baked Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin French Toast, composed of thick slices of bread sprinkled with “optionals” such as powdered sugar and berries, to be drizzled with orange zest syrup served on the side. Eggs are steam-cooked at Café Cantata, meaning there is no oil, butter or margarine. They’re soft and flavorful, and used in entrees such as Vegetarian Soy Chorizo Scramble with tomato, green onions and jack cheese; and Breakfast Burrito stuffed with cheddar, tomato, avocado and a choice of soy chorizo or applewood smoked bacon. Other morning meals include the Smoked
Baked Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin French Toast with powdered sugar, berries and orange zest syrup Salmon Bagel with cream cheese, capers, tomatoes and red onion; oatmeal with brown sugar, fruit and milk (including soy and almond); and Café Cantata Granola, a mix of oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, peanut butter, walnuts, almonds and craisins. Café Cantata’s lunch fare mainly consists of sandwiches, salads and soups. There’s the Turkey Panini with roasted red bell peppers, avocado, mozzarella and garlic aioli on sourdough bread; Seasonal Berry Salad with mixed greens, blueberries, cantaloupe, avocado, red onion, feta and cranberry vinaigrette; and Dale’s Kale Salad with goat cheese, craisins, julienned apples, walnuts and citrus vinaigrette that finely balances flavors and textures.

‘America’s Finest Film Festival’ returns Aug. 2 to San Diego BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego likes to think of itself as America’s finest city. During the second America’s Finest Film Festival on Aug. 2, it will certainly be the most featured city, with the focus on films created by San Diegans, filmed in San Diego or about San Diego. And held in San Diego. “We’re getting people excited about living in San Diego by showcasing the beauty and diversity of our region,” said Jonathan Zaidman, executive director of Camaraderie developed at The 1to1 The 1to1 Movement, which hosts the festi- Movement events like the Film Festival help connect people to conservation. val. Launched in 2012, the 1to1 Move- COURTESY PHOTO ment aims to connect people to conservation through education, campaigns and community engagement. Zaidman co-founded the San Diego-based organization with Amanda Tatum, the nonprofit’s director of education. In the past 2 1/2 years, the organization has reached more than 12,000 students in San Diego County through its educational programs, Zaidman said. From classroom presentations to after-school programs, the nonprofit visits K-12 students across the region to promote environmental sustainability. The 1to1 Movement also leads campaigns to promote positive change in the community. The Last Straw Campaign encourages bars and restaurants to provide straws only upon request. It also encourages consumers not to use straws. “This is a really simple introduction into conservation that anyone can take part in,” Zaidman said. “We’re really adopting comprehensive conservation measures that people can jump into right away.” Last, the nonprofit engages the community through its annual events. In addition to Film Fest, The 1to1 Movement hosts an annual art show that features artists who use repurposed materials. “Our key focus is to create the cleanest, greenest, healthiest and most vibrant community,” Zaidman said. Nearly 500 people attended the inaugural Film Fest last August. This year’s festival will showcase 20 short films, as well as a Maker’s Fair, featuring jewelry, clothes, furniture and more crafted by San Diego artisans. A reception will be held between screenings, featuring Karl Strauss beer, wine, cocktails and local food. The 1to1 Movement’s America’s Finest Film Festival will take place from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 2 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, 5775 Morehouse Drive in San Diego. Tickets cost $14 in advance and $18 at the door. Visit 1to1movement.org.
Jurors pick 43 San Diego artists for new Athenaeum show FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS 43 artists were selected for the Athenaeum’s 23rd annual Juried Exhibition on view in the Joseph Clayes III and Rotunda galleries, Aug. 2-30 at 1008 Wall St. The free, public opening for the show is 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1. At the reception, jurors Sally Yard (Professor of Art History, University of San Diego) and Derrick Cartwright (Director of University Galleries and Professor of Art History, University of San Diego) will award the first, second and third place honors. The jurors selected the show’s 43 participants from some 1,100 images submitted by 220 artists. “The challenge of picking the works for the Athenaeum’s juried exhibition was especially great this year,” said Cartwright. “Sally and I opted to select images that struck us as coherent approaches to contemporary problems in representation through a wide variety of media. Technical accomplishment was important, but so was a willingness to take risks and find new excitement in common things. “I was especially drawn to works that demonstrated an appreciation of art history without resorting to imitation. “In the end, I hope the works on display both carry a conviction about the importance of contemporary practices in our common culture and offer the Athenaeum’s public a broad array of challenging choices.” The show — open only to artists who live, work or have exhibited in San Diego — provides a platform for them to receive exposure and draw inspiration from peers. Acceptable submissions included 2-D and 3-D media, with the exception of functional or craft art. All submissions were completed within the past five years. Participating artists: Nina Preisendorfer Baker, Warren Bakley, Stephanie Bedwell, Gregory M. Brown, Paul Craig, Annette Cyr, Kathi George with Bill Kelly (Doug Regel Rome Editions), Douglas Dow, Peter Fay, Kaori Fukuyama, Peter Geise, Jim Graham, Renetta Happé, Therese Cipiti Herron, Sean Hnedak, Donna Knierim, Portia Krichman, Carolyn LaFrance, James Lasry, Nancy Lee, Richard T.

What inspires a life well lived? Above: Attendees at the fundraiser enjoyed golf and tennis clinics, among other activities. Below: Eddie Sengendo, the tennis pro at Lomas Santa Fe who is leading the fundraising for the orphanage.
Orphanage effort raises more than $12,000 On Saturday, June 28, supporters of Kimera Orphanage gathered for the third annual fundraiser at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Guests participated in golf and tennis clinics, an exhibition tennis game from local tennis pros, lunch, a silent auction and donation drawing. The event brought together 65 people and raised more than $12,000. Kimera’s founder is Eddie Sengendo. Sengendo is a tennis pro at Lomas Santa Fe who began his life in Uganda and as a child had to escape to Kenya as a refugee. His family was granted political asylum in San Diego. Shortly after arriving at Father Joe’s Village in San Diego, he was introduced to the game of tennis and has been playing with much success ever since. He is hoping now to put both his good fortune and the game of tennis towards his goal of opening an orphanage for children outside of Kampala, Uganda. For information, visit kimeraorphanage.org.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS High Bluff Academy expands electives for fall BY KATHY DAY Imagine a high school where students check their egos at the door and where students take care of each other. Better yet, imagine a school where students flourish and enjoy learning. That, says Jill Duoto, is what you’ll find at High Bluff Academy, a fully accredited high school housed in the center of an office park in Carmel Valley. Duoto, the school’s principal, founded HBA as a tutoring and test prep center in 2002 with her husband, Michael. But as they listened to students and parents seeking a better way of learning, they expanded to offer a college prep, high school curriculum as well as a 13th year — a pre-college year — for students not quite ready to tackle college. They also continue their specialized tutoring and test classes, through summer school (classes start Aug. 4), afterschool and weekend programs. Meanwhile, HBA’s expansion continues this fall with more electives, from French and Mandarin to computer science classes, and more clubs to meet the individualized needs of its students, who come from the surrounding communities as well as from around the world. Some are students at neighboring schools who come for classes that don’t fit their public school schedules or because they need a flexible schedule to accommodate competitive sports or career aspirations. All courses meet or exceed University of California and California State University standards, and while standard classes help fill gaps in knowledge, Honors and AP classes challenge the advanced students. Too often, Duoto said, parents don’t recognize problems their youngsters might be having as they transition to
High Bluff Academy’s expansion continues this fall with more electives, from French and Mandarin to computer science classes, and more clubs to meet the individualized needs of its students. Courtesy photo high school, which requires more independence than middle school. Then the youngsters find themselves in a “big intimidating environment” and don’t ask for help or don’t know where to turn. “They are overwhelmed academically,” she added. “A lot of times, the issues can be social or emotional, such as the drama of jockeying for position in the social hierarchy of a big school.” Some students, such as those with learning disabilities or ADD, might be overcome by the extra stimulation and
distractions of a large school. But at HBA, where classes are small and teachers know each student, she said, “the feeling of being overwhelmed goes away; there’s a sense of relief.” That new feeling “boils down to knowing they belong, that people care, that they can learn at their level and their own pace.” When a student says, “Hey, I need help,” it is there in the form of tutoring that is built into the school day, with after-school homework sessions and small groups. And with the small student body, teachers and administrators can act quickly to respond to the students’ energy — or lack of same. Duoto said at the end of the school year when distraction tends to set in, a kayaking outing was planned on short notice and the staff “created additional field trips to keep the kids motivated.” As the school matures, it has added a community service coordinator to match students’ interests to outside projects, and has given a teacher added responsibility as activities coordinator. The administrators are also enlisting more parent involvement in helping with field trips. While expanding programs is essential to High Bluff’s future, Duoto said the underlying goal is to see students flourish. “I like seeing kids that are happy going to school.” The school is at 12707 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, Carmel Valley; call 858-509-9101; visit www.highbluffacademy. com.

Pakula. Set a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on lawyer Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a black man accused of rape.

Investigator Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) is brought in to track down the culprit.

Local skateboarder is 2nd youngest to take X Games gold
Tom Schaar BY KAREN BILLING Incoming high school freshman Tom Schaar has some â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I Did on My Summer Vacationâ&#x20AC;? stories that will probably trump most of his peers. The 14-year-old skateboarder started his summer break in June by becoming the second youngest gold medal winner in X Games history, throwing down a 900 in the last round at X Games Austin in the big air competition and beating a childhood hero, skateboarder Bob Burnquist. Tom followed up his gold medal revolution with national and international skating competitions and camps, looked up to the
NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Durant at the ESPYs (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really tall,â&#x20AC;? Tom marveled), and cruised the orange carpet at The Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice Sports Awards. Tom is a recent graduate of Earl Warren Middle School and will attend San Dieguito High School Academy in the fall. He started skating at age 5, teaching himself at skateparks in Los Angeles. By the time he was 8, his family had installed a wooden miniramp in the backyard for him to work on his tricks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother and I skated all the time, all day long,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. A new miniramp is in the backyard of his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home and many days a week you can find Tom riding at the Encinitas YMCA. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much looking forward to the new skatepark opening at the Encinitas Community Park close to his home later this year. While Tom mostly skated for fun, he started taking the sport more seriously a few years ago when he realized his skills were historic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; epic, even. In 2012, Tom became
the only person ever to land a 1080, at age 12. The stunt involves three full revolutions in the big, open air and a perfect landing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tom landed it on MegaRamp at Woodward West in Tehachapi. Tom pulled out the trick again at 2012 X Games Asia to become the youngest-ever International X Games champion. Recognition for Tom grew, and he is now sponsored by Red Bull, DC Shoes and Element Skateboards. Last week, Sony Action Cameras added him as one of its athletes. Since his first X Games competition in 2012, Tom has competed in six X Games all over the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brazil, Barcelona, Munich and the U.S. venues of Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. Barcelona was his favorite city to skate, although Brazil was admittedly cool â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the vert ramp set up in front of the stunning, giant Iguaçu Falls was taller than Niagara Falls, as high as 270 feet, stretching 1.7 miles with more than 275 drops. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s X Games Austin was held in front of a
huge crowd at Circuit of the Americas, a Formula 1 racetrack venue. Tom said he tries not to think about the number of people watching him skate, and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get nervous. Practicing to tackle a ramp in competition isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the easiest thing to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to prepare for because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many different lines. You have to figure out all the different curves; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like surfing,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. In the big air competition, Tom did a 720 (two full mid-air rotations) over the gap and landed â&#x20AC;&#x153;weirdâ&#x20AC;? and a 900 in the quarter-pipe, spinning backward in the air and grabbing mute (grabbing the board with his front arm). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure which trick won it. The 900 was harder, but the 720 was better because I landed weird and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anyone thought I was going to make it,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. Beating Burnquist was a feat that he never expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked up to him ever since I started skating,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The craziest thing is that I got to skate at his house (Burnquist lives in Vista). Most people go to his house to practice for X Games, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool skating with him and all the other guys. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy to be able to skate against him in X Games.â&#x20AC;? Does mom Regan get nervous watching her son flying high through the air? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get scared,â&#x20AC;? Regan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been on a big ramp before, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m mostly nervous that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do his best. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very safe.â&#x20AC;? Tom has recorded â&#x20AC;&#x153;justâ&#x20AC;? a broken shoulder, two broken arms and one broken ankle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is not too bad, considering his hobby.
Skateboarder Tom Schaar was the second-youngest X Games winner in history this summer. COURTESY RED BULL MEDIA HOUSE
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tricks like the 900 are scary tricks, so you have to be really carefulâ&#x20AC;? about practicing, Schaar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go about it really slow and work spins and get used to it; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long process.â&#x20AC;? After the X Games in June, Schaar went on to compete at the Dew Tour in Ocean City, Md., placing second in the bowl event. From there, he spent a week and a half at Camp Woodward, an enormous skate camp in Pennsylvania, and then went on to place fourth at the Vans Van Doren Invitational Skate Competition in Vancouver, British Columbia. He got back to California in time to hit the ESPYs on July 16 in Los Angeles and go with a pack of friends to the Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice Sports Awards the next day. He said seeing David Beckham was a highlight. Despite the sponsor perks, his X Games gold medal (which doubles as a belt buckle) and international travels and attention, Tom is just your average 14-year-old going on 15. He still has braces and no hint of ego. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a guy who wants to have fun on his board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and handle high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year I just have to split skating and school. I just started surfing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun,â&#x20AC;? Tom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought about my skating goals this year because the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over with the summer. I enjoy playing around with it.â&#x20AC;?

Alt-rockers Neon Trees betting on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a little more popâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to please fans BY ROB LEDONNE Neon Trees guitarist Chris Allen is outside a dentist office in Lake Elsinore in Riverside County, not far from Murrieta, where he grew up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just finished the first leg of our tour, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m back home for a bit,â&#x20AC;? he said. But Allen wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be home for long, since the band has an album to promote and the next part of their tour coming up Aug. 1 at the Del Mar Racetrack for the Four Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Clock Friday concert series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited for that show,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played there once or twice, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to the San Diego County Fair a couple times on my own. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re plenty familiar with everything (in North County).â&#x20AC;? For Allen and his bandmates (including vocalist Tyler Glenn), it took a move from Southern California to Provo, Utah, in 2005 to begin a long journey to music stardom. Improbably, Allen moved in order to attend massage school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a masseuse for about a year, pursuing music with Tyler at the same time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Five years later their debut single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animal,â&#x20AC;? was a No. 1 smash on alternative rock radio in 2010, although Allen is quick to point out that their â&#x20AC;&#x153;success wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overnight. We went through a period of time where we had absolutely no money. If we broke even performing a show, that was a good night. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long road.â&#x20AC;? Throughout their rise to fame, Allen (who moved back to Murrieta after hitting it big), hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten his Southern California roots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be impossible to do so, since the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was inspired in part by legendary burger joint In-N-Out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Tyler was in high school, he used to hang out at the In-N-Out burger in Temecula with his friends,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Behind the counter were these neon trees, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he got the name. Aside from that, growing up I was always hanging out in Oceanside and I would surf at Encinitas. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d end up down at the beach two to three times a week. One of my favorite places to tour is Sydney, Australia, because it reminds me of San Diego.â&#x20AC;? Ever since those early days hanging around North County, Neon Trees has cemented its status as a darling of alternative rock, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the success of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 debut album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Habits,â&#x20AC;? or the 2012 sophomore album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Picture Showâ&#x20AC;? (which spawned the hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody Talksâ&#x20AC;?). Now, the band is attempting to replicate the success of its past material with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pop Psychology,â&#x20AC;? its third album which hit shelves in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, we feel comfortable with our fan base, and as long as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with the material, we think it will do well,â&#x20AC;? Allen said of the stress behind finding hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever just relax and not worry about putting out a good song, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten to a point where we just try to please ourselves. Overall, we have the right team in place.â&#x20AC;? It seems their tactic of pleasing themselves is paying off once again, as the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleeping With a Friend,â&#x20AC;? recently became a top 10 hit on the Billboard Rock and Adult Top 40 Charts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(That song) is a little different from our past singles,â&#x20AC;? Allen notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By now, everyone knows thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Neon Trees sounds like. This time around, we wanted to hit everybody with a different side of us. We normally take the alternative radio approach first, but this time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to be a little more pop.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that push further into the pop realm that propels Neon Trees onto radio stations around the world, including today in Lake Elsinore as Allen waits in the car for his wife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting when we hear the new single on the radio,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m home, I need to start listening to the radio more because I wanna hear it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always cool, we crank it up ... that never gets old.â&#x20AC;? Neon Trees performs at the Del Mar Racetrack on Aug. 1 after the last race.

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. Art in the Village will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 10. Artists who are interested in participating should call Show Manager Brian Roth at 760-945-9288 or email info@kennedyfaires.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Fitness studio puts clients on healthy path Former ‘Biggest Loser” contestant now helps others reach their health goals BY JOE TASH Mike Messina spent most of his life under a cloud of obesity and related health problems. At one point, he tipped the scales at nearly 400 pounds. Things began to turn around for the 43-year-old Encinitas resident in 2011, when he was selected as a contestant on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” reality TV show. Although he was voted off the show after only two weeks, Messina decided to stick with the weight-loss and training regimen on his own, and he eventually lost 174 pounds in six months, claiming a $100,000 prize as the show’s home winner. “I wanted for the first time in my life to finish what I started and not quit on myself,” said Messina. Three years later, he has kept the weight off, maintained a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise, and is now using his experience to help others achieve their health goals. Messina works as a health and wellness consultant at San Diego Premier Training, a Carlsbad-based studio that offers group and private training for clients of a variety of ages and fitness levels. Mike Deibler, who owns and operates the studio with his wife, Emily, and a staff of 14 trainers, said Premier Training seeks to offer a complete fitness program for clients, as opposed to large gyms where people are basically on their own as they try to get into shape. “We want to take different approach. We look at what a person is trying to do and give them a plan, show them exactly how to do it,” said Deibler. The studio specializes in such areas as weight loss and overall strength and fitness training, according to Messina. Clients include professional athletes, a high school sports team, teens and adults in their 90s, said Deibler. Access to group training sessions is available for as little as $59 per month. “We can really service a wide range of fitness levels and goals,” Deibler said. “If you just want to be healthy, or become a Ninja war-
(Above) Owner Mike Deibler works with clients at San Diego Premier Training. (Right) Mike Messina, before and after his weight loss. He is a health consultant at San Diego Premier Training. rior, we can accommodate you,” added Messina. The studio is in its sixth year, and has continued to grow. In 2012, San Diego Premier Training moved from its original 1,000-square-foot location to a 5,000-square-foot facility on El Camino Real, south of Palomar Airport Road. Deibler said they’ve continued to expand their offerings — for example, adding a Pilates class, and planning a women’s self-defense course. Deibler said he doesn’t want to expand to the point that the studio loses the close-knit, community feeling that clients have come to appreciate. “We don’t want to be overwhelming; we want people to feel comfortable,” he said. That effort seems to have paid off for the studio’s clients. “I am a die-hard San Diego Premier Training fan!” wrote client Ashley Babiarz in an email. “I credit Mike and Emily with keeping me fit during my pregnancy and helping me get my body back. Thank you SDPT for being a warm, friendly place to get your butt kicked.”
According to his bio, Deibler holds a master’s degree in sport and exercise sciences from the University of Florida, and is a certified strength and conditioning specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association. After achieving his weight loss and fitness goals, Messina worked as a trainer with a weight-loss and fitness program in Hollywood, which he called his apprenticeship. He joined San Diego Premier Training in May, and his role is to meet with clients to determine their personal fitness goals, then direct them to the best program to achieve their
goals. M e s s i n a ’s own physical fitness was put to the test seven weeks ago, when he suffered a fractured vertebra after being slammed into a sandbar while boogieboarding at the beach in Del Mar. He spent two days in the intensive care unit, then wore a neck brace and had physical therapy. Messina is convinced his conditioning helped him bounce back quickly from his injury. He was back at work within a few days, and is now able to play basketball again. “Why have muscle? It’s body armor,” he said. “Call it luck, but had I been out of shape, would I have played basketball last night or been working three days out of the ICU? No.” For information, call San Diego Premier Training at 760-268-1023, or visit www.sandiegopremiertraining.com.

10 Reasons to Generate Your Own Power As we take one step closer towards August, we all prepare for the blazing sun, the heat it brings, and in turn, the cranked-up AC. But instead of seeing the sun as an enemy, something to be protected against, there is a way to embrace that solar power and use it to your benefit. When many think of solar energy, they think only of extreme environmentalists. And while yes, it is
amazingly beneficial for the earth as a whole, you’ll notice the first six items on this list revolve around how solar energy can also save you money: 1. Financial: One of the fastest ways to start seeing your savings is on your energy bill. In the upper tier of today’s electric bills, each kWh costs $0.37. Over the life of a system, the average cost per kWh is less than $0.09. 2. Financial: When you generate your own energy at home, you are also protected from future rate increases. While everyone else is at the mercy of “peak” hours, strained summers, and yearly increases, you can sit back and count the savings. 3. Financial: You’re not just saving now, but you’re seeing increased value when it comes time to sell your house. On average, a solar power system increases a home’s sale price by $25,000 – $30,000.
4. Financial: Not only will your home have more value when it’s time to sell, but solar homes also sell more quickly. They make a great statement and say to the buyer that this owner has not only taken good care of the home and done things the right way, but the owner has also been energy and cost conscious. 5. Financial: Panels can also be a natural coolant. By having your panels shadow south facing roof surfaces, you are reducing the need and usage of your air conditioning. 6. Financial: The savings are not just limited to the home, but using solar energy to power an electric car saves gasoline purchases worth three times more than the cost of electric purchases. 7. Security: Modern equipment can provide AC power during daytime hours if there is a utility shortage. Once again, you are no longer reliant on the strained resources of the energy
company. 8. Security: Battery bank systems provide uninterrupted power in the event of wildfires, natural disasters, and prolonged utility shortages. A big peace of mind for the stability of your family and home. 9. Feels Good: Customers love solar systems. They feel proud, knowing they are doing the right thing for the environment, while at the same time setting a positive example for kids and the community around them. 10. Feels Good: Most people hate paying electric bills and love getting big tax credits from the Federal Government, utilities included, because many have large solar fields off their balance sheets If you’re interested in learning even more benefits of generating your own power, please visit us at hessolar.com or give us a call at 619.692.2015.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Royal Academy of Performing Arts coming to Sorrento Valley
Tribute bands Jumping Jack Flash (Stones), left, and Abbey Road (Beatles) will duel on Aug. 22 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. COURTESY PHOTOS
It’s Beatles vs. Stones at Belly Up on Aug. 22 The debate over the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 50 years ago. The argument at the time, and that persists, is that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who’s better? Tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash will engage in an on-stage throwdown — a musical “shoot-out,” if you will — between the two bands’ sounds at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the county’s top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles’ career. They face off against renowned Stones tribute band Jumping Jack Flash, which offers a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the “bad boys” of the British Invasion. “Music fans never had a chance to see the Beatles and the Rolling Stones perform on the same marquee,” said Young Hutchison, who plays “Keith Richards” in the show. “Now, music aficionados can watch this debate play out on stage.” The show is part of a 110-stop tour of the U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico and Canada that has been going since 2011. The show also performs long-term residencies for a number of the Harrah’s Casino properties. The production includes some of the more popular songs from the two rock pioneers and covers the scope of their musical careers, although the set list for Jumping Jack Flash usually includes Rolling Stones songs up to the 1980s. “They may have more pop songs, but we kill it on the live show. They’re not even in the same league,” said Joey Infante, who performs as Mick Jagger. During the two-hour show, the bands perform three sets each, trading places in quick set changes and ending the night with an all-out encore involving both bands. The band members have their outfits custom-made, since avid fans know exactly what the Beatles and Stones wore onstage during different time periods in their careers. There’s a lot of good-natured jabbing between the bands as well. “Without Beatlemania, the Stones might still be a cover band in London,” said Jesse Wilder, who plays George Harrison. “There’s no question that the Beatles set the standard.” The audience will hear top-shelf tributes to two legendary bands in the same evening. As the Orange County Register said: “If you see only one tribute show, see this one ... smart and loads of fun.” Added Wilder, “It’s just a fun time and a cool back-andforth nonstop show.” “We’re going to bring it all,” said Infante. “It’s going to be a night of high-energy music.” Tickets are $16 and may be purchased online at www. bellyup.com or by calling the box office at 858-481-8140. The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros in Solana Beach 92075. The show is 21+.
Francine Garton, the owner of the popular Royal Dance Academy in Carmel Valley, announces the opening of a new instruction studio for dancers. Opening in September, Royal Academy of Performing Arts will be a brand-new 15,000-square-foot facility in Sorrento Valley with every amenity imaginable. RAPA will have five dance studios (one with retractable seating for in-house performances) and a Pilates Reformer & Gyrotonic studio. It will also offer yoga, acting studio, three music/voice studios, modeling, life coaching for teens, physical therapy for dancers, a nutritionist, homework room, tutor room, waiting room with CCTV, juice/snack bar, dance store, offices, staff room, changing rooms and multiple bathrooms. The new space will be the biggest performing arts facility in San Diego. “This has been my vision and dream for a very long time — to build a performing arts academy,” said Garton. “I will also be keeping the current studio in Carmel Valley, as what we have now is a beautiful facility in a great location, which thousands of families have loved over the years. This is the family-friendly studio that hundreds of children call their second home! “My idea is that the Carmel Valley studio will still be home for all our dancers ages 18 months to teens who dance one or two classes a night or a few classes a week. We will be able to offer more dance styles, smaller classes, more beginner classes, later time slots for the baby classes and generally more options and opportunities for our recreational dancers.” RAPA will be home to competitive dancers who dance from three to eight hours a day, several times a week, and some recreational students who are coming from La Jolla, Mira Mesa and beyond. RAPA will also be home to students who have a more intense program and need to add classes such as Pilates or Gyrotonics to complement their training. It will be the dance studio for those who wish to become a professional and realize that they must master all dance styles and be able to act and sing to become triple-talented performers. RDA and RAPA will have more than 21,000 square feet of space between them. Each will have the same attention to detail, customer service, state of the art facilities — just different programs. Garton said, “The concept is that Royal Academy of Performing Arts is more like a professional academy where one day, students from everywhere will audition to become part of the Pre-Professional program bringing the ‘best of the best’ from San Diego, Orange County and LA, all together under one roof to train children who want to thrive and succeed in the arts.” For more about either Royal Academy of Performing Arts or Royal Dance Academy, call 858-350-9770 or visit royaldanceacademy.com.
De Anza DAR offers American history essay contest The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution announces its annual American History Essay Contest to celebrate America’s history. All fifth- through eighthgrade students in public, private, and parochial schools or those who are home-schooled are eligible to participate. Students may also independently submit essays directly to the judging committee. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ellis Island as an immigration station, the topic for the 2014-2015 academic year is “A Child’s Journey Through Ellis Island.” On a typical day, immigrants arriving on the island could expect to spend up to seven hours in processing activities intended to determine whether or not they were legally and medically fit to enter the United States. Essayists are asked to imagine they are a child traveling through Ellis Island in 1892 and how they would describe their experience to a cousin who had never heard of Ellis Island. Essays are judged for historical accuracy, adherence to the topic, organization of materials, interest, originality, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and neatness. The top winner from each grade will receive a medal, a certificate and a cash award from the De Anza Chapter as well as the opportunity to advance in the state and national competition. A colonial tea and awards ceremony will be held to recognize the winning students, parents, teachers and principals. Schools and individuals may contact the De Anza Chapter essay committee chairman Jennifer Anklesaria at 619-985-5449 for contest rules and a guide sheet. Submission deadline is Nov. 1. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, founded in 1890, sponsors the yearly essay contest with state and local chapters to carry out the injunction of President George Washington in his farewell address to the American people: “to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion.” Visit www.deanza.org.

A hashtag or octothorpe is used (in this case #WillisAllenChat) to filter all of the chatter on Twitter into a single conversation. The discussion topic for the hour-long conversation will be “Hosting the Perfect Summer BBQ.” There will be a different question asked every 15 minutes over the course of the hour. Followers will be asked to share their go-to BBQ hotspots around San Diego, favorite summer BBQ recipes, best games to keep the party going and preferred party playlists. At the end of the chat there will be a trivia question with a $25 Amazon gift card prize for one lucky participant. “Once again Willis Allen is on the cutting edge of technology and marketing,” says Willis Allen Real Estate’s President and Owner Andrew E. Nelson. “We might be a 100-year-old company, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our finger on the pulse of the most progressive ways to engage with our clients, and this is just another example of that.” Nelson adds that this is just the first of many such tweet chat events that Willis Allen will host over the coming months. “We’ve made knowing San Diego inside and out our business, and we want to share our favorite tips and ideas with our clients,” Nelson says. “#WillisAllenChat will be a place to learn more about the great city of San Diego and to discover its little-known secrets. And because beautiful homes are our passion, we’ll also feature special chats on interior design and inspiring home design tips and ideas.” To make the chats even more comprehensive, the company is partnering with local businesses to offer expert opinions and insider advice on all things San Diego.
