Ballots firm up for three local races BY JOE TASH Now that the filing period has officially closed, the ballots for three special districts based in Rancho Santa Fe have been firmed up for the Nov. 4 general election. Filing deadlines for some of the races were extended until Wednesday, Aug. 13, because incumbents did not file to run for those seats. With the deadline passed, the ballots for the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District and the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District have been set, said County Registrar of Voters Michael Vu. The Santa Fe Irrigation District provides drinking water to customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Three seats are up for election this year: Divisions 3, 4 and 5. Incumbent director John Ingalls will face challenger Marlene King in Division 3, according to the registrar’s office. Board president Michael Hogan will get a new fouryear term in the Division 4 seat, as no one filed to run against him. In the Division 5 contest, incumbent board member Andy Menshek did not file to run for a new term, and therefore, the sole candidate to file for the seat, Augustus Daddi, will be awarded a four-year term. No election will be held for either the Division 4 or 5 seats. Daddi, a former member of the irrigation district board, was defeated by Menshek in the 2010 election. See BALLOTS, page 20

I-5 expansion gets big green light BY CHRIS NICHOLS, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW A plan that would expand North County’s Interstate 5 and coastal rail service won unanimous approval from the California Coastal Commission on Aug. 13, giving the long-planned and controversial project one of its most important and final victories. Called the North Coast Corridor program, the $6.5 billion package would add freeway, rail, bicycle, pedestrian and environmental improvements along a 27-mile stretch from La Jolla to Oceanside. Spanning six cities and six lagoons, the public works project is considered one of the largest and most complex to date for the California Department of Transportation, the agency responsi-

ble for building it. Its most debated piece is a fourlane expansion of I-5. “This is an opportunity to improve the quality of life for literally hundreds of thousands of residents and commuters,” said Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who was late for the meeting held at San Diego’s Catamaran Resort because of traffic. “We need this program. We need to get it across the finish line.” In voting for the project, San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox, a coastal commissioner, called the scope of the project “mind-boggling” and a remarkable example of governments working together. The project still faces

RSF Historical Society launches David R. Brooks Memorial Fountain fund drive

The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society held a kickoff party Aug. 14 for its fundraising drive for the David R. Brooks Memorial Fountain. Longtime friends Peppy and Norman Bahr initiated the project to honor Brooks for his “significant contribution” to the RSF Historical Society’s growth. Board member and architect Max Wuthrich designed the fountain, which will grace the side courtyard wall of the RSF Historical Society’s La Flecha House. For more photos and information, see page 7.

RSF Garden Club building for sale The Rancho Santa Garden Club clubhouse is now up for sale. According to a press release, the RSF Garden Club Board of Directors reviewed several options and opted to approve listing the property on Avenida de Acacias with Colliers International, a commercial real estate brokerage firm. In April of this year, Covenant membership voted against the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s purchase of the property for $2.4 million, by a margin of 20 votes. The “valuable community asset” could now be sold for development, according to the press release.

“The board is hopeful that a legacy buyer will purchase the property and dedicate the property for use by the community rather than for development,” according to the release. Proceeds from the sale will be used for grants for nonprofit organizations that qualify under the mission statement of horticulture and conservation activities. Over 40 organizations have received grants from the club in the past, including Mira Costa College to support its Agriculture Student Scholarship Program and Solutions for Change’s aquaponics farm project to help the homeless.

Since 1975, the RSF Garden Club and the Rancho Santa Fe Association have used the facility for community and educational meetings. The Rancho Santa Fe School District has hosted its graduations there, and various civic and educational organizations have also used it. The RSF Garden Club, established in 1926, will continue to operate and sponsor events for members, including Coffee in the Garden, Petals and Prose, educational lectures and Petals for Patriots. The resale shop, however, may have to be re-located in the community.

BY ASHLY MCGLONE, SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW The Solana Beach School District — which includes Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in RSF — has ended up with more than $800,000 in legal bills in a special-education dispute that started over one family’s $6,100 of private-school tuition. The district unsuccessfully fought the Doyle family, now living in Utah, through several federal appeals and attempted to involve the U.S. Supreme Court. A federal court commissioner on Aug. 1 ordered Solana Beach to pay nearly $580,000 in attorney’s fees for the Doyles, on top of hundreds of thousands the district has paid for its own counsel. The family successfully argued that the district should have to pay for private-school tuition because the education plan offered for their autistic child was inadequate under the federal guarantee of a free and appropriate education. The order brings the long-fought case to a close. It centered on the Doyles’ youngest daughter — known in court records as Ka.D. — who in 2007 was just beginning to speak after being nonverbal as a toddler. The district offered to place the 4-year-old in special education, with visits to the general education classroom, mother Kyla Doyle said. “We saw it as a recipe for disaster, with our daughter having to transition between three classrooms, having a rotating roster of 42 classmates and several teachers,” Doyle said. “The district wanted to put her into a severely handicapped class where she would be one of the only children who could speak... We knew if she wasn’t in an inclusive environment with proper services, going forward she would likely remain in a severely handicapped class.” The family’s solution was a small general education class at a local private school, the Hanna Fenichel Center, where Ka. D. had already “made substantial and impressive progress” as a 3-year-old and would have access to a one-on-one aide, outside experts told the court. The district declined to pay the school’s $6,100 annual tuition, arguing the district’s placement offer complied with the law. The Doyles took their concerns to an administrative law judge, who ruled in their favor in January 2008. The district paid the tuition at that point, but hired a team of attorneys to appeal the matter to the district court, then the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. After losing at that level, the district attempted to get the case heard in the U.S. Supreme Court, without success. Superintendent Nancy Lynch said the district feared the case would open the door for other families to choose private school over public, leaving taxpayers with the bill. “We didn’t want it to set precedent that parents could unilaterally make a decision that See CASE, page 20

Using mulch on lemon groves reduces need for water, says RSF resident BY JOE TASH A Rancho Santa Fe man is concerned that a combination of drought, skyrocketing water prices and mandatory water-use restrictions could spell the end of the community’s lush, eyepleasing lemon groves, and he proposes a solution — mulch. For the past several years, as the cost of water has gone up — rates in San Diego County have doubled over the past decade — people have cut back on watering their groves, causing them to die off and in some cases to be removed entirely, said Bruce Henderson, a resident of Los Mirlitos on the western edge of Rancho Santa Fe. “The lemon groves add a great deal to the appearance of the place,” said Henderson, who has about 300 lemon trees on his 3.75-acre property. If people don’t adequately water their groves, he said, “the likelihood is these groves will disappear, and we will be left with empty, ugly dirt fields with weeds in them, and property values will suffer as well.” For the past four years, said Henderson, he has maintained a layer of mulch — ground-up remnants from trees trimmed in the Ranch — which has allowed him to dramatically cut back his water use, while still keeping his trees healthy and green. The mulch acts as an insulating layer, holding moisture in the soil. Henderson said he isn’t trying to produce a stellar lemon crop — he just wants to keep up the appearance of his grove. Dead and dying lemon trees pose more than an appearance problem; such unhealthy trees are also a fire hazard, said Conor Lenehan, fire prevention specialist and urban forester with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. With the drought and rising water prices, fire district officials have seen an increase of groves in decline as they make their rounds in Rancho Santa Fe, said Lenehan. Some of the groves are on unoccupied or abandoned properties, while in other cases, homeowners have reduced watering, he said. This leads to twig dieback and defoliation on the trees. When such conditions are evident, Lenehan said, the fire department contacts homeowners and asks them to trim or remove

The department also can bring in a contractor to do the work if property owners don’t comply, he said. Lenehan acknowledged that the loss of lemon trees does affect the community’s rural ambiance. “It is sad to see large parcels have to remove or thin out trees that were once flourishing in Rancho.” Chuck Badger, owner of RE Badger and Son Inc., which manages farms and groves for property owners, said he shares the concerns about lemon groves dying off from lack of water. He said mulch may be an answer for some property owners, but it depends on the composition of their soil. The reason he doesn’t routinely recommend mulching, he said, is that in much of Rancho Santa Fe, properties have heavy clay soil, which holds on to water. Mulching directly under citrus trees, he said, can foster the development of phytopthora, a type of fungus. “If you don’t let the soil dry out, you’re at risk of that fungus,” he said. Henderson’s property may have sandier soil that drains more easily, allowing him to mulch and not develop fungus on the roots of his trees, Badger said. As for water-saving tips, Badger said he advises grove owners to make sure their sprinkler systems are well-maintained so they don’t waste water. “It really is a maintenance issue for most people,” he said. Badger said it would also be helpful if the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which supplies water to Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, offered a discounted agricultural rate to its customers. The high water rates, he said, have “made people much less likely to take care of their groves,” Badger said. Creation of an agriculture rate will be considered later this year when the irrigation district conducts a “cost of service study,” in which it looks at its costs and revenue needs for coming years, said Jessica Parks, public information officer with the Santa Fe Irrigation District. Lemon trees are the No. 1 crop in Rancho Santa Fe, followed by oranges at a distant second, and nursery plants at third, said Badger. Some 400 acres are planted in lemon trees, which are a hardy, drought-resistant crop. On average, Badger said, an acre of lemon trees needs about an acre-foot of water annually, or about 325,000 gallons. An acre-foot costs about $1,600, he said. During summer, he said, he waters his groves every other week. Since he has put down mulch, Henderson said, he has cut back watering his grove to one hour each in July, August and September, for a total of three hours per year, which is enough to maintain his trees. Residents can get mulch for free by contacting local tree-trimming companies, Henderson said, but they should avoid mulch containing weeds, palm fronds or pine needles. “You get the mulch for free, then all you have to do is spread it around. My water problem went away just like that,” he said. “There are no weeds, the grove looks good and the trees are happy.”

204 Bishop’s students named AP Scholars The College Board has named 204 Bishop’s Upper School students as Advanced Placement Scholars in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement examinations taken in May 2014. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on the number of yearlong courses and exams. Advanced Placement examinations are graded on a score of 1 through 5. A score of 5 is the highest and based upon each college’s policies, college credit is granted for scores of 3, 4 or 5. The top designation of National AP Scholar was granted to 28 Bishop’s graduates from the Class of 2014 and four members of the Class of 2015. The National AP Scholar Award is granted to students who receive grades of 4 or higher on eight or more full-year AP examinations. Fewer than one out of every 1,000 AP candidates receives a National AP Scholar Award. Bishop’s Rancho Santa Fe National AP Scholars from the Class of 2014 and the colleges they are attending include Kamran Jamil (Harvard University) and Jonathan Styrt (Rice University). Of the 204 students honored: • 109 qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning grades of 3 or higher on five or more AP examinations, with an average exam grade of at least 3.5. The Class of 2014 had 76 recipients and the Class of 2015 had 33 recipients; • 43 students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning grades of 3 or higher on four or more exams, or an average grade of at least 3.5.

Local attorney wins landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on cellphone privacy BY JOE TASH When Pat Ford brought his first case to the U.S. Supreme Court in April, focused on whether police needed to get a search warrant before examining the contents of a criminal suspect’s cellphone, he knew the court had a range of options in making its decision. The court could have sided with the state of California, which argued that no search warrant is needed. Or it could have forged a compromise between the two sides. What Ford got, though, was a unanimous ruling in support of his contention that police must obtain a search warrant from a judge before perusing the contents of an arrestee’s cellphone. “It was exhilarating. It was kind of surreal to see this unanimous decision making such a big statement on behalf of people’s privacy rights,” said Ford, a local resident and longtime criminal appellate attorney. “A unanimous decision that benefits criminal defendants is rare in the Supreme Court. It was a big and welcome surprise,” said Ford,

Pat Ford who learned of the ruling in late June when he logged on to the Supreme Court’s website, where decisions are posted. Thanks to the ruling, police around the country must first obtain a search warrant before examining the contents of a criminal suspect’s cellphone. Legal experts have hailed the ruling as a landmark decision, one that bolsters the view of the Founding Fathers that the Constitution bars unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. “Modern cellphones are

not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans ‘the privacies of life,’” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court. “The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought. Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cellphone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple — get a warrant.” While the ruling is sweeping — and is likely to apply to other digital devices beyond smartphones — police willingly began to comply with the court’s decision as soon as it was issued. “It’s definitely a good check and balance for the whole system. It will add a little bit of time to our investigations, but we don’t think it will have a large adverse effect,” said Cmdr. Mike Barletta of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department investigations divi-

sion. “We really are fine complying with the law,” Barletta said. Deputies in the field can obtain a warrant from a judge over the phone within an hour or so, said Barletta. Information in the phone can be protected from being remotely deleted by placing the phone in a Faraday bag, which shields it from electronic access. The ruling allows an exception to the search warrant requirement in an emergency, such as a kidnapping when someone’s life might be in immediate danger, Barletta said. Barletta said he hasn’t heard of any backlash from law enforcement in the weeks since the cellphone ruling was announced. He said it was only a matter of time before such a ruling was made, as technology advanced, increasing the capacity of smartphones to store a wide variety of different information. “With a straight face, it was tough to argue against,” Barletta said of the search warrant requirement. “It hasn’t created an undue burden on law enforcement at all.” Ford served as co-counsel on the case with Jeff Fisher, a professor at Stanford University and one of the country’s foremost Supreme Court litigators. Fisher made the oral arguments before the justices; Ford sat at the counsel table and participated in every element of the case. Ford’s appeal was on behalf of David Leon Riley, a San Diego man convicted in a gang-related shooting. Although no one was hit by the gunfire, Riley received a sentence of 15 years to life due to an enhancement for gang involvement. Photos and videos found on Riley’s cellphone were used against him at the trial. The U.S. Supreme Court sent Riley’s case back to the California state appeals court, to determine whether the evidence gathered illegally from the cellphone — because police did not obtain a search warrant — played a significant role in Riley’s conviction, and whether he should be granted a new trial, Ford said. Ford said the case was close, and that Riley’s first trial ended in a hung jury. He said he believes that if the appeals court does order a new trial and evidence from the cellphone is excluded, Riley would have a better chance of being acquitted.

RSF Historical Society launches fund drive for David R. Brooks Memorial Fountain BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society held a kickoff party Aug. 14 for its fundraising drive for the David R. Brooks Memorial Fountain. Longtime friends Peppy and Norman Bahr initiated the project to honor Brooks for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant contributionâ&#x20AC;? to the RSF Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. Board member and architect Max Wuthrich designed the fountain, planned to grace the side courtyard wall of the RSF Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Flecha House. The society plans to unveil the Brooks fountain at its annual Christmas party on Dec. 11. Brooks, who was very active on the RSF Historical Society board and served as vice president, died Dec. 22, 2013. A retired SAIC executive, he lived with his wife, Peggy, in a Lilian Rice-designed home in Rancho Santa Fe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David had an appreciation of history, particularly that of Rancho Santa Fe, and felt the need to preserve it,â&#x20AC;? Peggy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had the idea that his memory could flow through the fountain, and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What a lovely way to remember him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Wuthrich modeled the fountain after Richard Requaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Persian Water Rugâ&#x20AC;? fountain, originally constructed for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition in Balboa Park. The design resembles a carpet draped over the wall, consisting of hand-painted ceramic tiles from Portugal. The tiles will be set in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sawtoothâ&#x20AC;? pattern, with the top edge of each tile projecting slightly beyond the tile above it, which Wuth-

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 21, 2014 - PAGE A9

Veterans Recognition Day event to be held Sept. 7 at San Diego Polo Club BY KRISTINA HOUCK Philanthropy and polo will again come together Sept. 7 for the 10th annual Veterans Recognition Day at the San Diego Polo Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Lewandowski, a Navy veteran, launched the event in 2004 to honor veterans and raise money for organizations that support the military. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important because San Diego is synonymous with the military,â&#x20AC;? Lewandowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Diego has one of the largest veteran communities in the country. This has been a military town for a long time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a special connection with the military.â&#x20AC;? According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, there are 21.2 million veterans in the United States, nearly 2 million of whom live in California. As of 2011, nearly 241,000 veterans reside in San Diego County, which is the second largest county in terms of veteran residents in California and the third largest in the nation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. San Diego County is the No. 1 destination for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. In recognition of their service to the nation, all active-duty military and veterans will receive free admission to the San Diego Polo Club with military identification on Veterans Recognition Day. The event will also feature a presentation by a military color guard, a flag ceremony and a live auction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spectacular day,â&#x20AC;? Lewandowski said. An insurance business owner in Del

Mar for many years, Lewandowski spends much of his time as the master of ceremonies or head auctioneer at various San Diego fundraising events. He has also worked as the San Diego Polo Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcer for 24 seasons. Combining his passions for polo and philanthropy, Lewandowski launched Veterans Recognition Day at the San Diego Polo Club a decade ago. He also serves as executive director of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participating charity, Veterans Research Alliance, a San Diego-based nonprofit that raises funds to support research and educational programs at the VA San Diego HealthCare System, supplementing government grants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing some revolutionary work at the local VA,â&#x20AC;? said Lewandowski, noting that several researchers at the La Jolla center have earned the national William S. Middleton Award for outstanding achievement in biomedical or behavioral research. Founded as the Veterans Research Corporation in 2008, the Veterans Research Alliance supports medical and clinical research programs in the areas of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, prosthetics, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A third-generation serviceman, Lewandowski knows firsthand the long-term effects of war. He served one tour as an officer in the Navy and another in the reserves. His grandfather served in the Army during World War I, and his father served in the Army during World War II. Two of his uncles served in the Vietnam War. A couple of those family members who

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag ceremony during Veterans Recognition Day at the San Diego Polo Club. COURTESY PHOTO served, including his grandfather, had PTSD, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technically, World War I ended on Nov. 11, 1918,â&#x20AC;? Lewandowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end for my grandfather until 1975, when he died. The war was every bit a vibrant image in his mind in 1918 as it was in 1975 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost 60 years later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you send someone to war, it impacts their entire life,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we send people into combat, we have to be prepared to take care of them for the rest of their lives.â&#x20AC;?

Gates open at 12:30 p.m. with the first Veterans Recognition Day match at 1 p.m. Sept. 7 at the San Diego Polo Club, at 14555 El Camino Real in Rancho Santa Fe. A ceremony honoring veterans begins at 2:30 p.m., followed by the featured match at 3 p.m. VIP tent tickets cost $50.

Top Gunn: Torrey Pines High School alum Yang wins U.S. Amateur BY TOD LEONARD, SPECIAL TO THE RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW Wearing a crisp white shirt and white cap with the red and black San Diego State logo, Gunn Yang achieved something on Sunday, Aug. 17, that an Aztec hadn’t done in more than 60 years. He is champion of amateur golf in the United States. The redshirt sophomore, ranked 667th in the World Amateur Rankings, ended an extraordinary run at Atlanta Athletic Club when he prevailed in the 114th U.S. Amateur final with a 2-and-1 victory over Canadian Corey Conners. Yang, 20, is the second Aztec to win the U.S. Am, the first being Gene Littler in 1953. A Korean native and Torrey Pines High alum, Yang is the fourth San Diegan overall to take the Amateur, and the first since Phil Mickelson in 1990. The victory earned Yang exemptions into next year’s U.S. Open and British Open and a probable invitation to the Masters. He is the second San Diegan to capture a USGA title this summer, following Byron Meth winning the U.S. Public Links.

Fe Golf Club and won by Beau Hossler. Yang never trailed in the final, but he also did not lead by more than 2-up. The match, delayed by a storm, was all-square through 24 holes, and then Yang won the next two holes. Conners got back to 1 down, but Yang put a 2-up gap between them with a birdie on the 32nd hole and closed the match with a two-putt par at No. 17.

SDSU redshirt sophomore Gunn Yang pumps his fist after making a birdie on the 32nd hole en route to his win in the U.S. Amateur Championship. — USGA “Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have won this, so it’s an honor to share my name on the same trophy as them,” Yang said on the telephone shortly after his win. “It’s incredible, you know.” Yang’s triumph is one of the most unlikely in recent U.S. Am history. He said he couldn’t recall winning a tournament of any kind since he was 14 or 15. A year ago, Yang underwent back surgery after years of constant pain. And this past spring he played in only two college events, notching a 74.33 stroke average. His best finish was eighth when he competed as an individual in the Lamkin Grips San Diego Classic at San Diego Country Club. SDSU coach Ryan Donovan had taken away his scholarship. But Yang continued to work on his game with Glen Daugherty, an instructor at The Grand Golf Club in Del Mar, and he said he played in 11 events in a span of 14 weeks this summer. His confidence was boosted by finishing fourth in the SCGA Amateur played at Rancho Santa

Local volunteers bring the joy and importance of reading to children and teens through Words Alive programs BY KATHY DAY Lula Sutherland and Nora Kaiser make no bones about the importance of reading in one’s life. The two former teachers and their fellow Words Alive volunteers put their time behind their commitment to helping bridge the literacy gap. “I feel so strongly that literacy and culture oftentimes are a social phenomenon,” said Sutherland, an Encinitas resident who participates through the Family Literacy and Early Literacy programs. “If parents are not reading to their children, the children don’t know how important it is to read.” Kaiser, who serves as a Teen Services Adolescent Book Group volunteer, reiterated the significance of their work. “Words Alive’s mission is to impact kids through reading,” the Rancho Santa Fe resident said. “It connects them to another part of their life.” In addition to the programs the two local women support, Words Alive also oversees Rolling Readers and Community Reading Initiatives in its efforts to “develop a more thriving literary community,” according to its

Sutherland, who taught second and third grade at Del Mar Pines School before retiring, has been working with Words Alive for about a year and recently was named Family Literacy Program Volunteer of the Year. In the latter program, the volunteers teach parents the importance of reading for their children, sharing ways to help them develop reading skills and encouraging them to make reading a family adventure. During the seven-week classes, volunteers also work with the children and play with them while their parents are in class and provide books and takehome lessons for the family to do together. “The parents that come are committed to being the best parents they can be,” she said. Sutherland also assists with the Early Literacy Program, reading once a month to children in low-income preschools and child-care centers. Various team members visit the centers twice a week and read to groups of 18 to 20 children in four classes. “It’s great fun,” she said, adding that she’s been very impressed with the quality of the teachers and centers where she

volunteers. “The kids are delightful. There’s no easier task than reading to children.” Kaiser, who was introduced to the teen book group aspect of Words Alive by her friend Kay Gurtin, was a teacher, too. She stepped away from teaching to raise her children, but stayed connected by volunteering at her children’s schools. But now that her children are in college, she’s found a new arena and a totally different group of children to help. “It’s been an eyeopener,” she said of her experiences working with the students at Choice Summit, a City Heights program. Choice Community School is a selfcontained classroom for

students in grades 7 to 12. About 15 to 20 high school students, some as old as 20 who are still trying to earn their GED certificates, participate in the program that’s “kind of like a book club” where they talk about the meaning of the books and how the characters relate to their own lives, Kaiser explained. A different volunteer leads the discussion each time, and on occasion a student has stepped into that role, she added. The same team of eight volunteers works with the students. The students can keep the books, and many have started building their own libraries at home, which Kaiser sees as a sign of the program’s impact. They also have guest speakers visit — sometimes authors, sometimes people such as Steve Kerr, five-time NBA champion and now head coach of the Golden State Warriors, who came to talk about the obstacles of life and basketball after they read a book about the sport. They’ve also heard from a Holocaust survivor and a former gang member who is now an executive chef at a well-known Las Vegas hotel. The program started when a Words Alive volunteer who was working in another program saw the need to encourage reading among the teens. “Some of the students are in gangs, but all of us treat them as if they were our own kids,” she said. In fact, the classroom teacher said there are four gangs in the area. But he told them, “they are united in one classroom and leave it on the streets.” Kaiser, who has worked with Words Alive for eight years, said, “They find comfort and security there, and we have really good discussions.” With alternative schools losing funding and communities looking for other avenues to provide education, this program “gives these kids one more chance,” she added. Kaiser and Sutherland each talked about how rewarding their volunteer work is, yet both were clear in noting that the importance is not how they feel, but how important reading is in the lives of young people. “Simply reading and exposing the young to reading creates interest in pursuing it as they grow,” Sutherland said. Volunteers are needed for the reading programs as well as assisting in the office or fundraising efforts. Volunteer or learn more at www.wordsalive.org.

As in past years, the receptions will be held on campus beginning at 7:45 a.m. and later that evening at 6 p.m. “Last year was our first Welcome Reception, and the response was so overwhelming that we had to move this year’s event to a bigger venue,” said Executive Director Joanne Couvrette. “ We estimated that over 500 people attended the two receptions last year, which is a great response for the first year. We know that there is a great need for our parents to feel connected to CCA and the community and we hope that this event will help them start to build relationships with the school

It appears that the RSF Association board is contemplating building both a municipal swimming pool and a fitness center all with taxpayer funds. Some 20-odd years ago, our board came up with a similar idea. However, they ran into the same problems then as now and we saw the whole scheme go handily down to defeat by a vote of the citizens. Why? Most of the homes on the Ranch already have private pools in their backyards and have no interest in paying more taxes on a project that they may never use or enjoy. Second, a fitness center is also not of importance since there is a full service, fully equipped and staffed LA Fitness Center just 5 miles from our schoolhouse (I checked). This fitness center is open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. on most days and has reasonable rates. So, the cost-benefit of building our own center and maintaining it does not seem to be too bright an idea. I hope the Association board will canvass the citizens of the Covenant before they spend any more time and money on what I consider to be an ill-fated project.

San Dieguito Union High School District’s parking To Your Health: Cold or Flu? Here’s how to tell BY MARK D. SHALAUTA, M.D. pass fee eliminated BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District is eliminating its $40 annual parking permit fee for students to park in their high school parking lots. “We had people question the cost of the permits over the years and most recently there was a formal complaint that caused us to go back and look at it,” said Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. “While the California Department of Education said the district was within our right to charge for the passes, we looked at the complaints and how the budget situation was improving and we decided we could eliminate the fee.” The district will lose just under $78,000 between the four high schools, but Dill said other revenues are up so they plan to see an offset greater than what they are losing. Dill said principals were notified late last week and they will continue to issue parking permits in the same way, on a first come, first serve basis — they just won’t collect the checks. The reason for the permits is to help control traffic congestion and regulate the number of cars fighting for the limited available spaces, Dill said.

BY MUFFY WALKER FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BIPOLAR FOUNDATION Last week, the world lost Robin Williams, a great human being and actor. Some of us will remember him as the alien in “Mork and Mindy,” the nanny in “Mrs. Doubtfire,” or Teddy Roosevelt in “A Night at the Museum,” but none of us will forget the sad twinkle in his eye and the joy he brought to audiences everywhere. Robin Williams took his life after years of fighting the demons of depression, mania, alcoholism and substance abuse. Tragically, the feelings of hopelessness that can accompany depression got the best of him. Williams’ death is yet another wake-up call that has reignited the discussion about mental illness and the need to create a stronger public dialogue about helping those who suffer from mental illness. What makes his death so difficult to comprehend is not only our love for him as a comedic genius, but that he seemingly had it all — success and the resources to fight back. The inconvenient truth, though, is that mental illnesses can be fatal. According to Tom Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, “These illnesses are currently just as fatal as the ‘big killers.’ We must continue to invest in research to develop new and more effective treatments for people with depression and other mental illnesses. The goal must be a future in which no lives are lost as a result of suicide.” Since the announcement of this tragedy, we have received an outpouring of requests for information. “I think I’m depressed, how do I know if I need help?”; “How do I help my son when I’m so afraid to seek treatment for myself?” Unfortunately, stigma and lack of education are some of the barriers to seeking treatment. Given that one of every four people has a mental illness, with 800,000 people taking their lives (annually), we all know someone who is affected. Start the dialogue, educate yourself, open your mind and reach out. If you or someone you know is thinking of hurting themselves or taking their life, please call a suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255. If you are having trouble grappling with the sad news about Mr. Williams, please call your psychiatrist or therapist. To all those who have lost someone to suicide, our hearts and condolences go out to you. International Bipolar Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in San Diego and helping people in more than 150 countries. All services and programs are free and globally accessible. The mission is to improve understanding and treatment of bipolar disorder through research; to promote care and support resources for individuals and caregivers; and to erase stigma through education.

The Rancho Santa Fe School District and Education Foundation will host their annual Newcomers’ Welcome BBQ and Orientation on Friday, Aug. 22, to introduce all new families to the R. Roger Rowe School. The event will be from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the RSF School Performing Arts Center. The welcome is at 10:30 a.m. At 10:50 a.m. a tour will be held, and the BBQ will begin at 11:35 a.m. This is an ideal opportunity for newcomers to walk the wonderful campus, get an overview of the school, learn about the school and its history, and most important, meet the school administration and staff, along with making new friends.

It often starts with a sore throat, followed by fatigue, headache, and body aches. You feel terrible — but is it the flu or just a cold? Like many people, you may believe you have the flu when in fact you have a bad cold. Both are caused by viruses and can make you head straight for the couch with the television remote and a cup of hot tea. However, the flu is much harder on your body than a cold, and knowing the difference can help you care for yourself better and recover sooner. Though many of the symptoms are similar, such as congestion and cough, flu symptoms are significantly more severe. For example, while a cold may cause you to feel slightly achy, the flu produces deep, painful muscle aches. If you have a fever with a cold, it is likely to be low; with the flu, a fever of 100 degrees or higher is likely and is usually accompanied by chills. You may feel more tired or low on energy with a cold. With the flu, you feel like you don’t have the energy to even get out of bed. Nausea and vomiting are also more common with the flu, but are seen more often in children than in adults. Colds usually come on gradually and can last a week or more before your cough and congestion finally start to subside. With a severe cold, you may develop a sinus infection or bronchitis before you fully recover. The flu typically hits suddenly; within hours, you feel sick and weak. Though you should start to feel better within three or four days, the fatigue caused by flu can persist for several weeks, so it is important to take it easy for a while. If flu symptoms don’t improve after a few days, or if you start to feel worse, call your physician. You want to make sure you are not in danger of developing pneumonia or other complications. Because both colds and the flu are caused by viruses, there is really no effective

treatment available for either one. Your doctor may be able to give you medications to help relieve symptoms such as a sore throat, cough or headache, but the virus must run its course. While prescription medications such as Tamiflu may help shorten the length of the flu by about half a day if taken within 48 hours of onset, recent studies have suggested it may not make much difference in an otherwise healthy adult. In fact, it increases the risk of suffering from nausea and vomiting. Although frequently described as a type of flu, the “stomach flu” is not related to influenza. It is usually a viral infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract, and is most commonly caused by contaminated food or by physical contact with someone who has the virus. Nausea and vomiting usually last from 24 to 48 hours. Most adults don’t need treatment unless there is no improvement, but young children should get medical attention if they can’t hold anything down and are at risk of dehydration. Anyone with bloody diarrhea should be seen by a physician. How can you help prevent all of these illnesses? Wash your hands well and often, and carry anti-bacterial gel for when you don’t have access to soap and water. Also, get a flu vaccine at the start of flu season to increase your resistance to the most prevalent influenza viruses. If you do get sick, try not to spread the virus to others. Keep your mouth covered when you sneeze or cough, and cough into the crook of your arm rather than your hand. Avoid going back to school or work until you start to feel better, and give your body time to recover from being sick before you resume exercise or sports.

Casa de Amistad seeks more volunteers to spark students’ learning BY KRISTINA HOUCK While students are getting ready for their first day of school, Casa de Amistad is also preparing for the new school year. The Solana Beach organization, which is dedicated to fostering education and character development for local underrepresented children, is seeking volunteer study companions to serve as tutors and mentors. “Every person, regardless of their socioeconomic status, can use a mentor and a positive person in their life,” said Program Director Nicole Mione-Green. Last year, Casa de Amistad’s 125 volunteers served 165 students. Sixty children are on the waiting list. Mione-Green expects a similar number of students this year, mostly from the Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas school districts. “Our vision and goal is to eliminate our waiting list,” she said. “We can do that by recruiting more volunteers.” To help reach that goal, Mione-Green is hiring a program coordinator who will help recruit volunteers. Solana Beach Presbyterian Church has also donated additional space to Casa de Amistad. “This is a program that brings everybody together,” said Mione-Green, a Carmel Valley native and Encinitas resident. “It’s all based on educating and creating a safe space for kids.” Casa de Amistad started in 1997 as a Solana Beach Presbyterian Church outreach program. Catalina Beltran was one of the program’s first students. Now 30 years old, Beltran serves as assistant director of Casa de Amistad, which became its own nonprofit in 2001. The church still donates space for the program on its campus in Debin Hall, and recently granted Casa de Amistad use of its new Children’s Ministries Center. “I think that’s why Casa is really good at what it does — it began by meeting a need,” Mione-Green said. “It grew out of a real solid need in the community.” Casa de Amistad students meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays during two sessions, at 4:15-5:45 p.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. The organization’s goal is a 1:1 student-to-tutor ratio for

Below: Casa de Amistad held a summer program in August that focused on art and hands-on math and science activities. Photo by Kristina Houck participants in grades K-6, Mione-Green said. Middle school and high school students meet in small groups on a variety of subjects. Students work with their mentors on homework. If there is time after they complete their work, they read or do other educational activities. Students also have access to a computer lab, stocked with a dozen donated Dell laptops from the Current Wisdom Foundation. Although the tutoring program runs September through May, Casa de Amistad held a summer program in August that focused on art and hands-on activities in math

and science. In June, Casa de Amistad received a $5,000 grant from the Solana Beach Fund to support its science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) program. The grant helped send students on field trips to the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and UC San Diego in August. “Everybody is here for one reason: to improve the lives of these kids and their families through education,” MioneGreen said. Because Casa de Amistad works closely with the local school districts, there is never a need to find more students, but there is always a need for more volunteers, Mione-Green said. Volunteer tutors have a variety of backgrounds. Last year, the organization incorporated more STEMbased activities into its programs, from inviting the Torrey Pines High School Robotics Team to the campus, to recruiting mentors with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and math. A retired NASA astronaut, retired oceanography professor, an oncologist and several engineers were among the new recruits, Mione-Green said. High school students are also welcome to volunteer. Student volunteers need at least a 3.0 grade point average or higher, as well as a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor. “Help make a direct and immediate impact in a child or a teen’s life,” Mione-Green said. “If everybody’s educated, it makes the community stronger.” Volunteer training will begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2, in Solana Beach Presbyterian Church’s Debin Hall. The training session will feature a presentation by Anthony Ceja of the San Diego County Office of Education. The first day of Casa de Amistad’s tutoring program is Tuesday, Sept. 9. For more about Casa de Amistad and volunteer opportunities, visit www.casadeamistad.org. All applicants must undergo a background screening. Interested volunteers can also contact Mione-Green at 858-509-2590 or director@casadeamistad.org.

Soldiers Who Salsa, also a 501(c)3, was established as a therapy program for wounded troops at Naval Hospital San Diego and Bethesda Naval Hospital, Md. The idea for this program was sparked by Mary Murphy of “So You Think You Can Dance” fame. This therapy provides an opportunity for those recovering from amputations, posttraumatic stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury to regain both physical co-ordination and socialization skills. Under the direction of dance instructor Jennifer Ables and volunteers serving as dance partners, these recovering heroes prepare to move forward with their lives. This event promises to be a memorable experience with the satisfaction of contributing to the San Diego men and women in the military who unconditionally dedicate their service to the freedom of this great nation. The public can support these worthwhile charities by entering the tournament or by sponsoring a military member to play, along with additional sponsorships and donations.

even though your programs are good or better, we want this one instead,” said Lynch, who took the district’s top job in April 2012. “We offer exceptional programs. You don’t want that to become a practice.” After the nation’s high court declined to hear the case in November 2012, the parties argued over legal bills. The Doyles’ attorney, Maureen Graves, submitted $787,000 in bills to the court, which was reduced to the $580,000 because fees were disallowed for certain unsuccessful arguments the family made. “It’s difficult to understand why so much would be allowed for this case that should have been over a long time ago at reasonable fees,” Lynch said. “You don’t know that the court would allow an extreme amount of fees.” School board president Richard Leib, who works as an attorney for a local liquid waste recycling company, called the family’s fees ridiculous. “Of course it would have been far better to settle this case. The problem is, at the time, if you start settling all these cases, what message are you sending?” Leib said. “Our program was as good or better than the one they ended up going to.” The district incurred more than $300,000 in legal bills on the case through 2012 alone, largely for the services of law firms Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost LLP., and later Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, district records obtained by Graves show.

U-T Watchdog has asked for a full accounting of spending, including 2013 and 2014. The county’s joint powers authority Special Education Legal Alliance has contributed $90,000 toward the legal bills, public records show. Hefty legal costs were questioned by a justice in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, according to a court audio recording. At the start of a Feb. 17, 2012 hearing, U.S. District Judge Edward R. Korman said, “I am just curious. This whole dispute is about counsel fees I assume. Nobody in their right economic mind would be carrying a case to the Ninth Circuit that seems to me to involve something like $6,000 to $7,000.” Attorney Jack Sleeth with Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz replied, “I don’t think so, your honor. I think this is really about the importance of the special education requirements for this particular student.” Kyla Doyle said the family was perplexed by the district’s continued appeals, especially as their daughter flourished at the district’s general education kindergarten class with an aide, and after they moved to Utah in June 2010. “At no point did we have any interest to make this a prolonged legal battle,” Doyle said. “They fought to say this little girl was so disabled that she should not have been included when she was attending their school fully included and thriving. There was no premise for it. “I was thinking, what a monumental waste… It just

ballots will be sent out starting on Oct. 6, Vu said. More than half of the registered voters in the county have elected to receive mail ballots, according to Vu. Those ballots must be received by the registrar’s office, either by mail or dropped off in person at the office or a polling place, by 8 p.m. on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 4. Officials are still determining how many poll workers will be needed for the upcoming election. Those interested in serving as poll workers can contact the registrar’s office at 858565-5800 for more information. seemed like the only ones winning were their lawyers,” Doyle said. Sleeth told the U-T, “I think public schools can provide a superior education at a cost that’s acceptable to taxpayers. While it saddens me to see a million dollars paid in legal bills, the issue is really important. How do we educate these kids?” Ka. D. is now 11 and just completed fourth grade at a charter school in Logan, Utah. According to her family, peers can no longer tell she has a disability. Last school year she earned straight As, won a school swim meet, a state Arbor Day poster contest and the school science fair. Doyle credits a great deal of her daughter’s success to early intervention in the inclusive setting they fought for. Parents of children with disabilities often face an uphill battle when challenging a public school placement, Doyle said. “Parents in these cases get made out to be selfish, overbearing or they think their kid deserves more than the next kid,” Doyle said. “It’s so difficult for parents to file these cases because they are already dealing with a child with a disability.” Carlos Estrella, assistant superintendent of business services, said the order to pay nearly $580,000 to the Doyles’ attorney amounts to roughly 2 percent of the district’s annual revenue and will come out of reserves. “It’s going to have a financial impact,” Estrella said. “We are not going to be able to do $600,000 worth of something.”

hurdles. Only a small fraction of the funding has been secured. And the freeway expansion piece is the subject of an ongoing lawsuit by critics who say coastal transit should be bolstered first, before any concrete is poured for freeway widening. No resolution is expected in that suit for some time, though it does not prevent officials from making final project plans or breaking ground. With the state panel’s “yes” vote, Caltrans expects to start freeway construction as early as next year, though it would take 30 to 40 years to complete all phases. The new freeway lanes, called express lanes, would be added to the middle of the 5, eventually stretching the entire 27 miles and costing an estimated $3.5 billion. Like North County’s I-15 express lanes, they would be open to carpools, buses, motorcycles, select clean air vehicles and tollpaying solo drivers. On the rail side, the project would fill in major gaps to create a second track from the Orange County line to downtown San Diego. Caltrans has said the I-5 widening is necessary to handle surging traffic growth on the corridor, where forecasts have called for 300,000 vehicle trips on the freeway each weekday by 2030, up from the 200,000 trips it handles now. Speaking after the hearing, Allan Kosup, the agency’s I-5 corridor director, said Caltrans has scaled back its traffic estimates somewhat but stressed that the region will still grow. “San Diego is growing more slowly. But we’re going to get there eventually,” he said. Kosup said much of North County’s I-5 is now expected to reach 300,000 weekday vehicle trips by 2035 or 2040, not 2030. Project opponents said at the April 13 hearing that Caltrans had used outdated and deeply flawed traffic projections to justify the interstate expansion. In 2003, Caltrans predicted a nearly 30 percent growth in traffic on the highway by 2030. The San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, produced a smaller growth forecast seven years later. It said traffic would increase by only 17 percent between 2010 and 2040, according to

a statement by the Cleveland National Forest Foundation, the nonprofit suing Caltrans over the expansion. “These (data) flaws are deep and systematic,” Jana Clark, a representative for the foundation, told the commission. “How can Caltrans base an entire project on this … outdated data?” Gary Gallegos, SANDAG’s executive director, rejected the group’s statements and called the issue “a red herring.” Gallegos said Caltrans took revised estimates into account as it moved the project’s plans forward. It also trimmed down the expansion from a possible six new lanes to four several years ago, Gallegos noted. That decision followed strong criticism from residents, political leaders and environmentalists who saw the six-lane option as far too large. Gallegos said the critics “can argue about this number or that number, but the reality is we need to help I-5 right now.” Regular commuters on North County’s I-5 suffer through jam-packed traffic not only on weekday rush hours, but on weekends, too. Called by some the “Gateway to San Diego,” the I-5 freeway hasn’t undergone a major corridor-wide expansion since it was built in the 1960s and ‘70s. That could change as early as next year. Near-term projects include adding one carpool lane in each direction along Interstate 5 from Manchester Avenue in Encinitas to State Route 78 in Oceanside; replacing the San Elijo and Batiquitos lagoon bridges; construction of a direct ramp onto the freeway’s carpool lanes at Manchester Avenue; adding a second rail track along a 5.3-mile stretch of the coastal rail line; and building bike and pedestrian trails across the project area’s lagoons. The transportation package will rely on federal, state and regional funding, including TransNet, the

county’s half cent sales tax for transportation. Kosup, of Caltrans, said regular reviews of the project will take place each year to ensure each piece is still needed. “We don’t want to build things we don’t need,” Kosup told the commission. A mix of labor, business and political leaders voiced support for the project at the commission hearing. They said it offers commuters more choices for getting around the region, and ensures goods will flow quickly between San Diego and other markets. Opponents including Encinitas resident Sheila Cameron said adding more freeway capacity is not only the wrong transportation solution, but could exacerbate health concerns along the corridor. She said going up against the massive project was like “trying to stop a machine or a tank on a roll.” On April 14, a threejudge panel in San Diego’s 4th District Court of Appeal was set to hear one more possible project hurdle: SANDAG’s appeal of a separate lawsuit. Three years ago, the Cleveland National Forest Foundation successfully sued SANDAG over its long-term transportation blueprint for the region. A San Diego County Superior Court judge ruled that the plan failed to comply with state environmental laws that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Gallegos, of SANDAG, said the panel is expected to make a decision on the appeal in a matter of weeks. If the judge rules against SANDAG and requires “a big fix” to the blueprint, the ruling could set construction on the I-5 project back for some time, Gallegos said. But the agency has a good chance to minimize any delay, Gallegos said, because it’s already working on an update to the blueprint, which could be ready for approval next summer.

New member appointed to fair board Kathlyn Mead, the newest member of the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the stateowned Del Mar Fairgrounds, attended her first board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 12. Mead took her seat at the board table, and was welcomed by board president Fred Schenk and other members. Mead, 55, a Democrat and resident of Escondido, was appointed to the fair board in June by Gov. Jerry Brown. In July, Mead was named president and chief executive officer of the San Diego Foundation. Also in June, Brown announced the re-appointment of Schenk and 22nd DAA board member Lisa Barkett. Both were appointed to new four-year terms.

Local swimmer wins seven medals in paralympic championships

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Roy Perkins already has six Paralympic medals, but his quest for gold continues. The 24-year-old swimmer trains daily and participates in the largest competitions, while on the road to the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. During the recent 2014 Pan Pacific Para-Swimming Championships in Pasadena, Perkins competed in seven events and medaled in all seven, earning two gold, four silver and one bronze. “I was a little bit off my time, but it was still nice to win that many medals,” said Perkins, who has lived in the community since 2002. “I’ve never won that many before. It was the biggest meet of the year.” Born without hands or feet, Perkins didn’t learn to swim until he was 12 years old. Two years later, he broke a number of American records in his first official meet, the Paralympic trials, at age 14. “That’s when it hit me I Swimmer Roy Perkins, 24, could keep doing this,” Perkins said. “I knew I would competed in seven events and medaled in all of them. have this opportunity if I worked hard at it.” A fixture on the U.S. Paralympics National Team for the past nine years, Perkins now holds most American records in the men’s S5 class.

Patriot Profile: ‘I am just a small piece in a greater game’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers with insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY When fuel gauges get low during heated combat, Air Force Captain David Alpert is near in his KC-135 tanker to offer thirsty aircraft a jet-powered drink. Over a course of six deployments since 2011, Alpert has piloted his flying gas station in the skies of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, and is always eager and ready for that heightened call. Refueling is a job only experts can do without a hitch, while traveling at 275 knots — roughly 300 miles per hour. Within minutes, fighter and bomber aircraft can get a fill-up from Alpert and his crew, then fire up the afterburners speeding back to their ultimate customers — boots on the ground taking fire. San Diego-born and -raised, Alpert describes the skyhigh transfer. ”Our crew consists of an aircraft commander, a co-pilot who assists the commander, and a (dedicated) boom operator.” Once they meet up with a receiver aircraft, the boom operator lies on his chest looking out a window facing out the rear of the tanker. “He has a set of controls back there so he can fly this big boom. It’s a long, metal tube that extends and uses air flow to move.” Alpert and his crew must keep constant air speed and a stable, level flight. “They (the receiver) will fly up into an envelope and level off below the aft.” Alpert calls the next step a reverse approach, a forward climbing motion on a diagonal. “They come literally from below and park it about 20 feet below the plane. “That’s when our boom operator makes his money. He positions the nozzle right where the hole is in the top of the aircraft and will extend the boom into the hole.” Then Capt. David Alpert at his local home. clamps lock the PHOTO BY JEANNE MCKINNEY boom in. “It’s a dangerous job, but is absolutely vital to every mission. Most of our (air) assets don’t have the legs — they don’t have the range to perform many of the missions we’re doing. It keeps us busy — keeps us gainfully employed. We refuel Air Force, Navy, Marines — I’ve refueled Italian fighters over Afghanistan, Germans, and fighters from the Netherlands. We’re all partners in this. I’m pretty sure there’s a tanker flying a mission 24/7 somewhere in the world every day of the year.” The biggest danger for a tanker pilot is not the enemy below. “Our biggest threat is some sort of air-to-air mishap or air collision.” He credits having none on record to training that is “second to none” and “professionals taking their work seriously.” Alpert praises the Air Force as “staying at the cutting edge of technology” and “building personnel up to think outside the box and be educated in those future facets of warfare.” Growing up in a Navy town influenced young Alpert, who dreamed of flying. His father took him to air shows every year, and later, when he was a teen, taught him how to

fly his own Cessna turbo prop. Alpert took to heart advice from a Torrey Pines High School superintendent who touted the quality of Air Force life and pilot potential. With a congressional commission in hand, Alpert went to Air Force Academy Basic Training for “six weeks of pure excitement — like a summer camp. No, I’m kidding; it’s quite intense.” Basic was followed by four years at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., which is “a mix between college academics and hard-core military training done in concert.” President Bush handed the torch to his graduating class, referring to the war as “the Class of 2008’s war.” “I think he was saying ‘This war has been started before you and it’s going to be yours to continue and hopefully end.’” After the academy, Alpert made the top 50 percent for pilot training. He was also chosen from a select few to train side by side with NATO brothers-in-arms at Euro-NATO joint jet pilot training at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas. Alpert feels fortunate he was selected to fly the KC-135, an Air Mobility Command asset. When at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, in late 2010, true to President Bush’s words, as soon as he was able to deploy, he did. Refueling is “a big choreographed dance,” says Alpert. An incident during Operation Enduring Freedom demanded fancy flight work over mountainous terrain near the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. It was night when they received a radio call from a B-1 bomber needing fuel. “They were doing close air support over a group of American fighters. You

could hear the adrenaline in the voice — the excitement of what’s happening on the ground.” After the rendezvous, when the B-1 was ready to make contact to refuel, the bomber got an emergency call back to the fight. Alpert and his crew followed, staying as close as they could, while the bomber did shows of force that meant “Stop messing with our guys.” Then, exceptionally low on fuel, the B-1 asked Alpert to come low to meet up. The hair on the back of the neck was raised, and the crew agreed to descend just above legal minimums, making sure to avoid hitting mountains and crossing sovereign borders. Command and Control had to move any manned or UAV aircraft out of the area, so they could eventually offload their vital gas and save lives. “Fighting fatigue” is part of the dance. While in Iraq, Alpert tells of taking off at noon one day, then taking off at midnight 12 hours later and doing that for nearly five weeks straight. “It really tires you … knowing I need to fit in my sleep, like you would fit in a meal.” How has the 2008 war changed in 2014? “I think we’re seeing progress. From my standpoint, we’re still doing our job every day to the best of our ability,” states Alpert. He advises those he leads, “Adhere to the core values of the Air Force. When I step foot through that door, any hardships in my personal life stay there and I bring in a positive, energetic outlook and then lead by example via those core values. I like to get to know my individuals. I want them to know I care, because I do.” Alpert’s father, Phillip, has been intimately involved with his career. “I would not have done any of this without his push, without his excitement, and intrigue. My mom has been there too, and my sister.” To young people who dream of becoming pilots, he says, “You need to have a work ethic, be competitive and have a goal.” Alpert’s goals have led him to unload multiple millions of pounds of fuel to receivers fighting for freedom. Goals are vectoring him towards new horizons and higher strategic commands. “When you start off as a kid, you just want to be a pilot. That carries you so far. Work ethic carries you so far. Eventually you realize your role is taking the torch from all the people that brought it to that point and executing the final portion of the chain of events. Man, there are so many players, so many people that are required to eventually get me off the ground to ultimately provide close air support for the men and women getting shot at — carrying out our dirty work. “The biggest eye-opener is to finally be selfless. Up to this point, it’s all been about me becoming a pilot and an Air Force officer. I am just a small piece in a greater game — a small piece of the puzzle.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Can you dig it? Sand Sculpting Festival set for Labor Day Weekend San Diego City Council President Todd Gloria will hand out awards at the U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge and 3D Art Exposition, 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30. The event is open to the public throughout the fourday Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29-Sept. 1, and is held on a built-for-the-occasion beach on the ‘B’ Street cruise terminal pier on downtown’s Big Bay. 2014 is its third year at that location, which sculptors have called one of the most creative atmospheres on the planet. Renowned artists come from Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Latvia, Canada and even Singapore to challenge some of the best sand carvers in the United States from Key West to Seattle. There’s $60,000 at stake and a lot of national pride. After years of planning and more than a year of construction, the Port expects the beautiful wide esplanade at the base of the pier to be open to the public in time for the big event. While sandcastles stretch westward nearly 1,000 feet into the bay, some of downtown’s grandest castles in the sky lie to the East across Harbor Drive. The 3D Art Exposition No matter how much you love them, you can’t buy the sand sculptures. But you can buy more than 1,000 works of art in other media, like metal, wood, glass, acrylic, fabric, gemstones and more. Many of the finest artists in the Southwest will be on the pier, exhibiting and selling their wares. The event offers fun for the whole family. There’ll be big bands on the big stage and more than a dozen trucks offering food from different parts of the country and the world. There’s beer and wine for parents, and for kids, a huge sandbox where the younger among them can learn how to build sandcastles and the older can slide down the “Cliffhanger,” bungie jump … even walk on water.

A portion of event proceeds will go to four children’s educational charities — The San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, Young Audiences of San Diego/Arts, It’s All About the Kids Foundation, and The Maritime Museum’s Children’s Education Program. Sponsored by the inSlider food trucks, active duty military and up to three family members will be admitted free Friday, Aug. 29. Admission is $7-$10 for others on Friday, and for everyone on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Bieler receives conservation honor from SD Zoo Global

L-R: Barbara Bladen, AAUW Branch Scholarship Chairwoman; Heather Owens and Alyssa Martinez, scholarship recipients; Fran Miller, AAUW Branch President; Megan Rice, scholarship recipient. Missing: Heather Cody, scholarship recipient. COURTESY PHOTO

DM-Leucadia branch of AAUW awards four scholarships The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women recently awarded local college scholarships to four women. Heather Owens earned a local scholarship award as a re-entry student who plans to earn a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in nursing. She is a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society and has been on the MiraCosta College Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list and the Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list at Cal State San Marcos. Alyssa Martinez is the first woman in her family to go to college, where she carries a 3.94 GPA. She is a research assistant for Dr. Heike I.M. Mahler, Ph.D., who is a professor of psychology at Cal State San Marcos as well as a research scientist in the psychology department at UC San Diego. Megan Rice received her first Del Mar-Leucadia Branch scholarship award last year. She graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in psychology from Cal State San Marcos. This year she received a scholarship for pursuing a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in psychology at Cal State San Marcos. She will be presenting her research at the 37th meeting of the American Society of Primatologists in Decatur, Ga., in September. Heather Cody graduated from Cal State San Marcos in May. She is doing an eight-week research fellowship with Dr. Frances Champagne in epigenetics (how external factors like environment can change your DNA). In the fall she plans to enter a Ph.D. program in Southern California. Membership in the American Association of University Women is open to all graduates who hold an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch reflects the varied interests of its members with informative, educational monthly meetings and special-interest groups such as Great Decisions, Walkabout, dining groups, book groups, film groups, Gadabout, and Theatre. Visit http://delmarleucadia-ca.aauw.net. Founded in 1955, the local branch serves the North Coastal communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, Olivenhain, Leucadia and Carlsbad. The branch raises funds for scholarships for students attending Mira Costa College and California State University San Marcos as well as local middle school girls attending AAUWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tech Trek, a math and science camp at the University of California San Diego. The national organization, founded in 1881, advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.

The San Diego Zoo Global community proudly awarded Charles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chuckâ&#x20AC;? Bieler the Conservation Advocate Medal at a luncheon held Aug. 7 at the San Diego Sheraton Hotel and Marina (For event photos, visit www.rsfreview.com or see the Aug. 14 issue of the RSF Review.) He was recognized in a ceremony attended by many of his friends from the zoo world, along with Joan Embery, San Diego Zoo Globalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservation ambassador. For more than four decades, Bieler, executive director emeritus of San Diego Zoo Global, has been called a mentor, leader, and friend to the global zoo community. Charles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chuckâ&#x20AC;? Bieler He has contributed to the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world-famous reputation in so many ways, setting the stage for a new-century approach to zoos as they worked together to save endangered species. He was an early â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and visionary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; advocate for wildlife conservation, taking a leadership role in supporting ground-breaking efforts to save California condors in the 1980s, as well as working with Dr. Kurt Benirschke to create the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (now the Institute for Conservation Research) and the Frozen Zoo in the 1970s. His goodwill visit to China in 1979 paved the way for future animal loans, which led to a partnership to save giant pandas from extinction. As president of the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums, along with a leadership role in the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, he worked to create conservation management goals for endangered species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charles Bieler has always been a tremendous advocate for wildlife, and with the programs he started, he began a conservation revolution among American zoos,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Myers, president and CEO of San Diego Zoo Global. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is largely due to his work that the zoo industry is now in the forefront of wildlife conservation, with San Diego Zoo Global being a leader in these efforts.â&#x20AC;? As executive director of the Zoological Society of San Diego from 1973 until 1985, Bieler saw the growth of the Wild Animal Park (now the Safari Park) through its early years. After stepping down as director in 1985, he continued his work to support the organization, working on fundraising projects, meeting with donors, and acting as a liaison with other zoos to advance their conservation efforts. He has always valued teamwork and is quick to give credit to his staff. With his ready smile, he makes everyone feel that he can be counted as a friend. For all this and so much more, Charles Bieler overwhelmingly deserves the 2014 Conservation Advocate Medal. Since 1966, the San Diego Zoo Global Conservation Medal has a long history of recognizing significant efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats. In past years, the Zoo has honored Betty White, Joan Embery, Jane Goodall, George Schaller, H.R.H. Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, and E.O. Wilson. The San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy is dedicated to bringing endangered species back from the brink of extinction. The Conservancy makes possible the wildlife conservation efforts (representing plants and animals) of the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, and international field programs in more than 35 countries. The important conservation and science work of these entities is supported in part by The Foundation of the Zoological Society of San Diego.

TPHS graduate named ‘Youth of the Year’ by Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito BY KRISTINA HOUCK As the first in her family to graduate from high school, Meliza Espinoza has not only served as a role model to her siblings, but to dozens of local youth from the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. In addition to receiving her diploma, the Torrey Pines High School graduate was recently honored as the nonprofit’s “Youth of the Year” during its second Youth of the Year Gala Aug. 8 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “I’m still shocked,” said Meliza, 17, who lives in Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community with her parents and three younger siblings. “I can’t believe I’m the Youth of the Year. It’s such an honor. You have to be a leader to be named Youth of the Year.” Meliza has been a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s La Colonia Branch since fifth grade. The branch serves 63 elementary school children and 43 teens each week in Eden Gardens. As one of the branch’s first teen program members, she has always encouraged other teens to participate in the after-school and teen mentoring program. During the summer, Meliza volunteers as a Leader in Training at the La Colonia Branch or Harper Branch, which is also in Solana Beach. “Since they have given a lot to me, I want to give back,” said Meliza, who also participated in the AVID program and helped in the Adaptive PE class at Torrey Pines before graduating in June. “I’m thankful.” Besides her volunteer experience, Meliza graduated from high school with work experience, having recently participated in a new mentor program offered through the La Colonia Branch and Crush, an Italian restaurant in Solana Beach.

Meliza Espinoza Courtesy photo Launched in April, the 10-week program combined shadowing and oneon-one mentoring to teach teens workplace skills. Five teens were selected for the

program. “Being a part of the Boys & Girls Clubs has made a really big impact on my life,” she said. “It made me confident and realize I could accomplish my goals. “By graduating high school, I did something that my parents always wanted me to accomplish. I have accomplished something really big, but this is not where I’m going to stop.” Meliza is attending MiraCosta College in the fall. Her next goal is to transfer to a four-year university and study social work or psychology. “I want to help other kids be successful in life,” she said. As the Youth of the Year, Meliza received a $1,000 college scholarship from the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Foundation and an HP Notebook donated from HewlettPackard. She will go on to compete at the local, state and regional levels for Youth of the Year, with the five regional winners meeting in Washington, D.C., to compete for the National Youth of the Year title and a $50,000 scholarship.

RC Humane Society to hold ‘Help Us Grow’ fundraiser Sept. 20 “Help Us Grow” will be the theme when the Rancho Coastal Humane Society hosts its annual Celebration of Second Chances from 4:30-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Community leaders, businesses, and supporters of RCHS will put their “best paws forward” as the shelter steps into the future. “In the 54 years since Rancho Coastal Humane Society was founded, a community has grown around us,” says President Jim Silveira. “Our main building is still the house that was on the property in 1960. Our Humane Education center was a barn. We’ve worked hard to meet the expanding needs

that surround Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Now we’re asking our friends and neighbors to Help Us Grow.” Silveira adds, “Our Pet Adoption and Humane Education programs remain the cornerstones of Rancho Coastal Humane Society. We also serve the human and animal victims of domestic violence through our Animal Safehouse Program, we deliver unconditional love to those who need it most during our Pet Assisted Therapy visits, and our Community Pet Food Bank keeps people and their pets together. These are the programs you support by attending the Celebration of Second Chances.”

Nick Winfrey, RCHS Vice President of Planning and Development, says guests have more options this year. “V.I.P. tickets at $275 include a cocktail reception and heavy hors d’oeuvres with RCHS President Jim Silveira and live music by critically acclaimed jazz guitarist Peter Sprague starting at 4:30. Pianist Jim Sayour will welcome guests at the $175 level at 5:30. All guests will be treated to dinner, entertainment, and raffle and auction items.” Winfrey said the society is accepting sponsors, prizes for the raffle, and a limited number of auction items. He thanked Presenting sponsors Ark Antiques and the Del

Mar Country Club, Platinum sponsors ViaSat, Sylvia and Roger Thieme, and Maria Cohen, Gold sponsors BMW of Encinitas, The Encinitas Advocate, and the Ross Family Foundation, and Silver Sponsor SERVPRO of Fairbanks Ranch and East Rancho Santa Fe. “These animal-friendly people, businesses, and foundations are doing their part to Help Us Grow,” he says.

Free square dance classes offered A free “Introduction to Modern American Square Dance” lesson is being offered by the Sandpipers Square Dance Club, which serves the North Coast from Oceanside to Del Mar, when the club’s new dancer class starts up again on Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Classes will be held Tuesday nights from 7 – 9 p.m. at La Colonia Community Center, 715 Valley Avenue, Solana Beach, 92075. New members will be accepted up until Tuesday, Sept. 23.

Former UConn football star Hunt named Athletic Director at Francis Parker School Phil Hunt, a former University of Connecticut football captain who earned a law degree and clerked for a state attorney general, is the new athletic director at Francis Parker School. He began work in July. He’ll oversee a program including 14 middle school sports for boys, girls and coed teams and 19 upper school varsity and junior varsity teams that consistently compete at the highest levels — including recent CIF state or regional titles in girls volleyball, girls soccer, boys volleyball and baseball. Hunt succeeds Dan Kuiper, who built Parker into a powerhouse. Hunt played football and ran track (hurdles) at a New Jersey high school before attending UConn, where he played all three defensive back positions. He earned bachelor and master’s degrees in education at Philip Hunt the Storrs campus of the University of Connecticut, and a law degree from the University of New Hampshire. Hunt, 37, comes to Parker from George Mason University in Virginia, where he was a higher-education regulatory and compliance expert and also led access and diversity initiatives. Earlier, he worked for the NCAA as assistant director of academic and membership affairs out of its Indianapolis home. He founded a student-athlete consulting firm in 2007, several years after clerking in the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office and a law firm in Massachusetts. Hunt writes poetry. He and his girlfriend enjoy hiking, snorkeling and golfing. Favorite websites include Huffington Post and Los Angeles Times. And he likes books on American history and mindfulness. Established in 1912, Francis Parker School offers a rigorous, college-preparatory education for students in Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12 at campuses in Mission Hills and Linda Vista.

Francis Parker School names new assistant head of school Innovative educational leader Laurynn Evans, an expert in building school leadership and coaching faculty, has begun work as assistant head of school at Francis Parker School, announced Head of School Kevin Yaley. She started work in July. Evans will oversee the academic program at Parker, providing coaching, guidance and support in major academic initiatives and programs such as overseeing the launch of a design lab and a design-thinking approach to learning. She comes to Parker from Singapore American School, an independent day school where she was an executive director. The school served U.S. expatriate families in that island nation at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. An honors graduate of the University of Texas, Evans earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and history, and a master’s in humanities. Her doctorate is from Seattle Pacific University. She went on to teach at high schools in Plano, Texas, and Issaquah, Laurynn Evans Wash., and served as assistant principal, dean of students and principal at other schools in Washington state. She also was an adjunct professor in the School of Education at Seattle Pacific University. Her first book — on how English and social studies teachers can have their students apply reflective thinking — was published in 2010. An avid scuba diver with video expertise, Laurynn was featured on an NPR science segment in 2011 after she submitted footage of a giant Pacific octopus giving birth to 50,000-plus babies. The video has been viewed close to 187,000 times. Evans also is a professionally trained vocalist and instrumental musician and is widely traveled. She plays flute and most enjoys singing old standards (Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, etc.). Established in 1912, Francis Parker School offers a rigorous, college-preparatory education for students in junior kindergarten through grade 12 at campuses in Mission Hills and Linda Vista.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difﬁcult, if not impossible. In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head ﬁrst onto icy pavement. “My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New

York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at ﬁrst, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.” Gelﬂand said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she

struggled to keep up with demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions. There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness. “I think we are in… one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin. “But, if we know better, will we do better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’” As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers

and HR departments to ﬁnd a reasonable solution. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, individuals with a TBI may need special accommodations such as: SCHEDULE CONSIDERATIONS. You should work with your employer to accommodate shorter work days and/or an increase in breaks. Resting is the key when it comes to recovery. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS. Operating vehicles, heavy equipment or lifting heavy objects are generally prohibited once TBIs are diagnosed. It’s important to keep activities light while promoting rest.

The perfect combination: Lofty Coffee Co.’s cafe and Encinitas Roasting Works BY KELLEY CARLSON Lofty Coffee Co. is discovering the perks of having its own roasting facility right across the street. The company opened Encinitas Roasting Works, at 97 N. Coast Highway 101, about two months ago, as a convenient location to prepare coffee beans for its Lofty Coffee café, and also as a haven for java purists. Employees use an energy-efficient, high-tech Loring roaster, which has digital controls and monitoring systems that provide more control over the product. Encinitas Roasting Works further realizes owner Eric Myers’ vision, which is “about the craft, and the craft is coffee,” according to Lofty Coffee Co. General Manager Meaghan Conway. Conway said Myers first homed in on the need for a local coffee bar several years ago when he lived in The Lofts at Moonlight Beach, the mixed-use residential/retail project at Encinitas Boulevard and the Coast Highway. Using the skills from his fine-dining background — which included working at Pamplemousse in Solana Beach — he opened Lofty Coffee at The Lofts, focusing on a “farm-to-cup” philosophy and using ingredients that are sustainable, local, organic and ethical (SLOE). Starting with three employees, the company has now grown to about 20. “Our employees are keepers,” Conway said. “They stick around,” with many having been there almost since the beginning. “They’re really like family.” And they embrace customers as if they’re family, too, she noted. As faces have become familiar over the past few years, the café’s menu has evolved. Conway said recipes were constantly played with, and “we did not stop until everything was perfect.” Much of what’s offered is house-made, and “anything that comes from a Torani (flavored syrup) bottle … we can make from scratch,” she added. Generally, Lofty Coffee’s café offers java, teas, and breakfast and lunch fare. The most popular food item is the Organic Artisan Bread & Poached S.L.O.E. Eggs, and patrons can add organic sides such as avocado and chicken apple

Lofty Coffee Co.’s Cafe and Coffee Bar opened its own roasting facility across the street — Encinitas Roasting Works, pictured above right. Photos by Kelley Carlson sausage to create a customized platter. Other morning dishes include the Organic Straus Yogurt & Granola with Fresh Fruit, and the Organic French Toast. For lunch, guests can opt for salads and sandwiches. There are two types of panini — the American, with artisan wheat bread, Applegate smoked turkey, aged cheddar, dill pickle, sweet onion, and mustard aioli; and the Italian, fea-

turing rustic country bread, Applegate black forest ham and prosciutto, roasted artichoke, red peppers and smoked mozzarella. Salad lovers can choose between Arugula, containing figs, pistachios, goat cheese and a house-made dark cherry vinaigrette; and the Caesar, with butter lettuce, in-house dressing, Parmesan and bread crumbs. Gluten-free options are available for both meals. While the café offers specialized coffees (such as Salted Caramel), Encinitas Roasting Works keeps its beverages more straightforward, with no flavored syrups and spices to dilute flavors. There are also no takeaway cups and no WiFi at Encinitas Roasting Works, so customers can fully absorb the atmosphere without many distractions. “It’s peaceful and quieter there (at Encinitas Roasting Works) — more of a craft experience,” Conway said. And although Encinitas Roasting Works doesn’t sell specialized coffees, it still caters to those with a sweet tooth — pastries and house-made gelato are made and sold on site. Lofty Coffee Co. is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday; call 760-230-6747. Encinitas Roasting Works’ hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily; call 760-452-6320. Visit loftycoffeeco.com.

BY KELLEY CARLSON here’s nothing like starting the day with “tee” time and a gourmet breakfast. The Lodge at Torrey Pines’ fine dining restaurant, A.R. Valentien, recently expanded its menu to offer morning meals daily. Previously served on weekends only, breakfast has been revamped, but the dishes maintain the high level of quality and freshness that has garnered the establishment a number of accolades. “It doesn’t get much more farm-to-table than us,” said Julia Geis, media relations manager for The Lodge at Torrey Pines. “Our chefs have a great relationship with the farmers. They prepare the foods simply, but let the ingredients shine.” And because breakfast is Executive Chef Jeff Jackson’s favorite meal, the dishes really seem to sparkle. Patrons can begin their experience with something light, perhaps sitting on the patio that overlooks the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course and the ocean — a prime time to take advantage of the views, as there is less of a crowd. Among the choices is a bowl of sweet-and-nutty Homemade Granola over organic Straus Yogurt with a berry medley; and the warm Peach and Pecan Sticky Bun with housemade caramel sauce and fresh peaches. Those who prefer a more substantial breakfast can choose from the Wilted Bloomsdale Spinach, layered with pancetta, sliced torpedo onion, poached egg and a dollop of creamy homemade ricotta, plus crushed red pepper for a bit of a kick; “Bull’s

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes

A.R. Valentien’s Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with raspberry syrup

Eyes,” featuring two sunny side up eggs on a base of a slow-roasted eggplant (which practically melts in the mouth), thin slices of artisan-cured La Quercia prosciutto and tomato sauce; and the light, fluffy and aromatic Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with raspberry syrup. For a special beverage, guests can select from freshly squeezed juices that include Strawberry Orange and Carrot Ginger. Those who dine at A.R. Valentien later in the day will find an array of charcuterie, cheeses, seafood and meats. Patrons who aren’t seated on the popular patio will find an elegant dining room setting of California Craftsman-style architecture and stainedglass lanterns, and a display of artworks by the restaurant’s namesake. Among the dinner menu highlights are the house-made charcuterie Platter of Three, with short rib terrine, duck and pistachio pate and chicken liver pate; the moist,

tender and crispy Chicken “Under a Brick”; and the Roman-Style Duck Breast and Confit Leg with roasted pluot, fennel shortbread, anise hyssop, caramelized fennel, watercress and verjus vinaigrette. As for desserts, Pastry Chef Elena Palma whips up a variety, from the Peach Flan with Sweet Corn Cake, Fried Peaches, Corn Ice Cream and Chili Anglaise, to the Chocolate & Hazelnut Trifle. On Thursdays evenings on the patio, A.R. Valentien hosts an Artisan Table. Guests start with an aperitif and mingle with likeminded foodies and wine lovers, and are seated at a communal table set for eight to 24 people. Chef de Cuisine Kelli Crosson explains each round of the four-course meal — served family-style — and the sommelier discusses the wine pairing. The cost at $85 per person — covers wine, food, valet parking, tax and gratuity.

Cows, horses and fun join together at the“Teens, Jeans and Dreams’ equestrian event Sept. 6 Friends of San Pasqual Academy is organizing a Team Penning Event to benefit the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy. This evening of excitement and thrills starts at 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at Del Mar Fairgrounds. Put on your jeans and Western boots and join in the fun. What is team penning?

Napa Valley wines featured at Jockeys to compete in ring instead of DM racetrack Aug. 30 tasting, dinner Sept. 6 in Olivenhain Two of Del Mar’s top jockeys — Corey Nakatani and Elvis Trujillo — are going to battle it out in the ring rather than on the track Saturday, August 30, in a highly anticipated three-round exhibition boxing match. The winner will earn jockeys’ room bragging rights as these two elite athletes trade punches to raise money for a great cause in what has been dubbed the “Battle Off the Saddle.” The event — featuring six fights with the tussle between Nakatani and Trujillo being the fifth of the night — will begin immediately after the last race of the day at approximately 7:15 p.m. The professional main event features WBC Caribbean Champion Ruben “El Cobra” Garcia (10-0, 5 KOs) of Cancun, Mexico and battle-tested Javier “El Bravo” Gallo (21-9, 12 KOS) of Buena Park. The “Battle Off the Saddle” benefits the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, a public charity that provides financial assistance to some 60 former jockeys who suffered careerending injuries while riding. A percentage of each reserved ticket purchased will be donated to the Fund, which is overseen by The Jockeys’ Guild. Corey “Knock Out” Nakatani, 43, is one of the top athletes in the room and a man who has never shied from a scuffle in the past, giving him the reputation as a bit of a racing bad boy. The veteran rider, who will celebrate his 26th year in the saddle this October, has more than 3,700 wins and $221 million in purses to his credit. Newer to the scene, but riding at the top of his game, is 30-year-old Elvis “Heartbreak” Trujillo. The Panamanian is one of the shore’s leading riders with 20 wins in the first 24 days of racing. In his 13-year career, he

has won nearly 2,000 races and more than $61 million in purses. Before finding his passion for racing, Trujillo trained to be a boxer in his youth, a fact that could certainly come into play in the “Battle Off the Saddle.” Nakatani and Trujillo will officially weigh in for their fight between races in the winner’s circle at Del Mar on Friday, August 29. General admission to the “Battle Off the Saddle” is free with racetrack admission before the last race of the day. Fans who arrive after the last race will be charged $35 for the boxing event. Pre-paid racetrack tickets, complimentary racetrack tickets and season racetrack passes are not accepted for the “Battle Off the Saddle” after the last race. Tickets for close-in seating are available via the Ringside at Del Mar website, www. ringsideatdelmar.com. Prices start at $35 and go up to $65 with VIP Tables (which can accommodate 10 people) for $75 per seat.

Personal Diary wins Grade I $300K Del Mar Oaks After taking off several days to recover from the flu, jockey Corey Nakatani made his return a winning one with a victory aboard Personal Diary in the Grade I, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks on Saturday at Del Mar. Personal Diary rallied in the stretch and pulled away to win by 2 3/4 lengths; Stellaris got up for second in the final strides, a neck in front of My Conquestadory. The East Coast-based Sea Queen — who went off as the favorite — was a nose back in fourth. Personal Diary covered the 1 1/8 miles on the turf in 1:47.56, and gave trainer Victoria Oliver her first-ever stakes win. The 3-year-old filly is owned by G. Watts Humphrey Jr. and St. George Farm Racing. On Sunday, Judy the Beauty dominated the competition in the Grade III, $150,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap, and Heat Du Jour took the supporting feature, the $150,000 Solana Beach Handicap.

15th annual Gala in the Garden to honor Farm Bureau’s Larson San Diego Botanic Garden’s 15th Annual Gala in the Garden will be from 5-9:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, with the theme of “Right in Our Own Backyard.” The 2014 Paul Ecke, Jr. Award of Excellence Honoree is Eric Larson, executive director of the San Diego County Farm Bureau. Larson is being recognized by the Garden for his valuable and important work in San Diego County’s agricultural industry, as well as his leadership of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, the San Diego County Water Authority, Carlsbad City Council and the Encina Wastewater Authority. Larson’s efforts to promote the growth of agriculture in San Diego County align with San Diego Botanic Garden’s mission to “inspire people of all ages to connect with plants and nature.” “I have long admired Eric for his formidable knowledge of the great array of agriculture that finds its home in San Diego. He not only has this knowledge, but few people I know have the ability to express and Eric Larson share what he knows so eloquently,” says Julian Duval, president and CEO of San Diego Botanic Garden. “I am a big fan of Eric Larson and the San Diego agricultural community is very fortunate to have his talent and ability to depend on.” Larson serves as the executive director of the San Diego County Farm Bureau, chairman of the Carlsbad Agriculture Mitigation Committee, and director of the Southern California Water Committee. In recognition of his more significant contributions to the agricultural community, he was honored with the Solana Recyclers Environmental Leadership Award and as a North San Diego County Magazine “Visionary” in 2003. In addition, Larson was named San Diego County Flower and Plant Association’s “Person of the Year” in 1996. Gala is the Garden is San Diego Botanic Garden’s largest annual fundraiser. Guests have the opportunity to explore garden trails, enjoy fine wine, craft beer, and the best dishes from local restaurants, as well as listen to live entertainment, and view exquisite floral designs. Renowned florist and Gala Artist Director René van Rems will once again lead a team of local designers to create lavish floral displays for the evening. On average, more than 10,000 stems are used to create these magnificent displays. Garden Trustee and former Board Chairman Jim Ruecker will return as the Gala Committee Chair, and will be joined by Maureen “Mo” Ecke as the 2014 Honorary Chair.
