Fair board names new president, vice president

Mud Run Fun

BY JOE TASH Frederick Schenk, a San Diego attorney and Carmel Valley resident, was elected president of the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, at the board’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Schenk was appointed to the board in 2011 by Gov. Jerry Brown. He also served a previous term on the 22nd DAA board under former Gov. Gray Davis. He was the board’s vice president until his election as president on Tuesday. The board elected David Watson, a land-use attorney, as vice president. Watson was also appointed by Brown in 2011.

BY JOE TASH A cat-and-mouse game has unfolded in recent months between mountain bikers, joggers and hikers who enjoy using trails in the Del Mar Mesa Preserve, and state wardens who are handing out trespassing warnings and tickets. Much of the 866-acre preserve has been posted off-limits for the past five years; but over the past couple of months, a $104,000 allocation from the San Diego Association of Governments has provided overtime pay to California Department of Fish and Wildlife wardens to patrol the mesa and other “hot spots” around the county, ticketing violators of habitat protection laws. In at least one case, a mountain bike belonging to a repeat violator was confiscated. The preserve — south of State Route 56 and west of Camino Del Sur — was intended by city officials to

A long-awaited habitat management plan that includes a trails element would open up some seven miles’ worth of additional trails once it is adopted by the San Diego City Council. Andrew Kubik, a mountain biker and local attorney who has closely followed the trails issue, took issue with the recent “hard line” enforcement approach, and questioned why it has taken the city so long to approve the trails plan. In spite of tight government budgets, “Somehow they’re finding resources to criminalize recreation by local residents,” he said. On a recent Saturday morning, bike riders and See TRAILS, Page 6

Del Mar City Council discusses zoning for emergency shelters BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar City Council on Oct. 7 continued its vote on an ordinance that would allow emergency shelters in the city’s north commercial zone — a move that would put the city into compliance with state legislation.

“There is no plan to build, operate or install any emergency shelters,” said Kathleen Garcia, Del Mar’s planning and community development director. “That does not show up on the city’s capital improvement program, nor is it required See SHELTERS, Page 7

Facilities needs reviewed at Del Mar school district outreach group meeting BY KAREN BILLING A lack of shade, parking lot bottlenecks, collaboration spaces being used for storage, and pesky wood chips on playgrounds were among some of the problem issues at Del Mar Union School District campuses expressed at the Oct. 1 meeting of the district’s outreach group. Group members were meeting for the second time in their efforts to help the district prepare a Facilities Master Plan and they were able to get specific about each of the eight school sites’ needs and wishes. An additional meeting was added to the group’s schedule on Oct. 29 at 3 p.m. at Del Mar Hills Academy, focusing on demographics, enrollment projections and funding challenges in addressing the master plan. The meeting will precede the town hall meeting open to all community members on Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. at Del Mar Hills Academy.

CERT training classes offered

‘The Fab Fair’ selected as theme of 2014 SD County Fair BY JOE TASH Members of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board unanimously approved “The Fab Fair” as the theme of the 2014 San Diego County Fair at their meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 8. The 22nd DAA board oversees the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds. Each year, the board selects a theme for the next year’s county fair. This year, the theme was “Game On,” and included displays and events related to different types of games. The 2014 theme will celebrate music and culture that came to the U.S. in the early ‘60s during the British Invasion, including the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks and the Who. The fair has secured two exhibits for the 2014 fair, according to a news release issued Tuesday: “The Beatles! - Backstage and Behind the Scenes,” is a fine art photography exhibition from the CBS photo archive and LIFE photographer Bill Eppridge. It includes 84 neverbefore published images of the Beatles first appearances in America in 1964. “Give Peace a Chance,” commemorates John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s historic “bed-in” for peace. The exhibition features photography by Gerry Deiter, the only photographer who was present in their hotel room for all eight days of the bed-in. A video presentation highlighting the British Invasion, and other 1964 events such as civil rights marches and Vietnam War protests, was shown to the board at its meeting on Tuesday. More details about the events and activities planned for the 2014 fair will be unveiled in the coming months. The 2014 San Diego County Fair will open on Saturday, June 7, and run through Sunday, July 6. The fair will be closed on Mondays and the first two Tuesdays (June 10 and 17).

CERT training is designed to prepare people to help themselves, their families, and their neighbors in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately, a person can make a difference by using the CERT training to save lives and protect property. Several CERT classes in November will be offered for residents in the Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach areas. Topic: Orientation, Disaster Preparation: Nov. 6, Wednesday, 7 – 9 p.m., Solana Beach Fire Station, 500 Lomas Santa Fe Dr., Solana Beach; Topic: Fire Safety, Search and Rescue, Cribbing: Nov. 9, Saturday, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., Solana Beach Fire Station; Topic: CERT Organization, Disaster Psychology and Terrorism: Nov. 13, Wednesday, 7 – 9 p.m., Solana Beach Fire Station; Topic: Disaster Medical: Nov. 16, Saturday, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., Solana Beach Fire Station; Disaster Medical: Nov. 20, Wednesday, 7-9 p.m., Solana Beach Fire Station; Topic: Final Certification: Nov. 23, Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station 2, 16930 Four Gee Rd., San Diego.

Downhill biking now prohibited at Torrey Pines State Reserve BY ASHLEY MACKIN Biking downhill on the paths of the Torrey Pines State Reserve, above Torrey Pines State Beach, has been prohibited as of Oct. 1, with officials citing safety concerns. The California Department of Parks and Recreation issued a statement indicating the route is shared by hikers, runners, parents with baby strollers, bicyclists and vehicles. “The great popularity of the park has caused many potential conflicts among these different users as they travel up and down the hill,” the statement read. “To reduce the potential for these conflicts, California State Parks has implemented a variety of measures that will help keep hikers, bikers and vehicles separate from each other.” These new measures include: A prohibition against riding bicycles down the hill (the steep hill promotes excessive speed); trail improvements immediately adjacent to the paved road; signage to direct pedestrians to stay off the road and stay on hiking paths; and fencing to clearly delineate appropriate routes of travel.

Acknowledging that downhill speeds are often faster than uphill speeds, San Diego County Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Andy Hanshaw said if their concern is for safety, there needs to be consideration for all users. “We’ve asked to continue to be involved and monitor (the measures) and what the eventual outcome will be, and how we can be a part of that dialogue, and they have been very responsive to that,” he said. “Obviously we’d like to maintain bicycle access though there are much as possible.” The Bicycle Coalition met with the Department of Parks and Recreation so members could be informed about the new measures and, in turn, inform the cycling community. Hanshaw said the prohibition is a temporary measure until a more permanent decision is made. The Park and Recreation statement said, “Over the next year, we will be working with a consultant to explore other longterm options but, for now, this is the best approach for the sake of visitor safety.”

Top thinkers share ideas at Atlantic Meets Pacifc confab BY PAT SHERMAN Some of the world’s foremost authorities on science, health and technology shared their ideas during the third annual The Atlantic Meets the Pacific conference, held last week on the campus of UC San Diego and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. During a panel discussion on innovative approaches to cancer treatment, Oct. 3 at Scripps Seaside Forum, Scott Lippman, director of the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego, compared the current revolution in oncology to the rapid transformation in Internet and computer technology of the early 1900s. While cancers originating in the lungs, breasts or colon were once chiefly defined by their “site of origin,” today’s researchers are increasingly defining cancers by their “molecular signature,” Lippman noted. “It’s changing completely the way we define cancer,” he said. “Genomics is just the beginning. This is a change in the way we do trials, and a change in the way we develop drugs to treat cancer.” Drug trials that once dragged on for years and years are going by the wayside,” Lippman added. “We can actually look into a tumor; we have the technology to identify what drives them, what makes them tick” and what their weaknesses are. Kristina Vuori, president and interim chief executive officer of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in La Jolla, noted that while just a decade ago it was believed that breast cancer was a single disease, it is now known to be a mix of many different diseases. “We are making really great scientific advances in the classification of diseases,” she said. “Thanks to technological advances, we can take biopsies of tumors and do very detailed micro-level analysis.” Moving forward, Vuori said she hopes molecular diagnosis will be used to match a patient to the safest, most efficacious drug, based on their cancer’s molecular signature. Sanford-Burnham researchers are also making advances in understanding the process of metastasis — the spread of

An Oct. 3 panel on innovative approaches to cancer treatment included moderator James Fallows; Greg Sorenson, CEO of Siemens Healthcare North America; Christopher Slapak, senior vice-president of Imclone Systems; Kristina Vuori, president and interim CEO of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute; David Sadava, adjunct professor of cancer cell biology at City of Hope Medical Center; and Scott Lippman, director of the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego. Pat Sherman photos the cancer in the body from the organ where it began, to another part of the body. In solid tumors, 90 percent of patient deaths are due to metastasis, Vuori said. “What we now know is that in every cancer there is something that we call a ‘cancer stem cell’ that originally causes the tumor to happen,” she said. “It’s probably the culprit for why the cancer comes back after treatment. You can think of this cancer stem cell or tumorinitiating cells as a queen in a beehive. If you don’t destroy that queen, the beehive keeps coming back.” Greg Sorenson, chief executive officer of Siemens Healthcare North America, said personalized medicine could help prevent cancer patients from being treated with drugs that don’t work for them.

“We as a system need to figure out ways to incentivize early and efficient diagnosis,” he said. “Everybody talks a lot about costs these days, but the most wasted healthcare dollar is the one that you didn’t even need to spend because you got the wrong diagnosis.” Asked what aspect of cancer the panelists find most difficult to explain to patients and others not involved in the field of oncology, answers ranged from the fact that it’s difficult to know what causes most cancers — be it external, internal or genetic factors — to the time it takes to develop and get safe and effective cancer treatments on the market (as long as 7 to 10 years, on average). Rather than discovering a panacea or “magic bullet” for cancer, Vuori and Lippman said it is a more realistic goal to make cancer a chronic, manageable disease. “We will have some cures for some types, but my belief and my hope is that we can convert most cancers into chronic diseases, like

Accomplished Pfizer executive director focused on the development of diagnostic tests BY JOE TASH Increasingly, medical science is moving toward the use of “precision medicines” that target disease based on its molecular or genetic characteristics. “The more we understand the disease and how it works, the better we can target it and the better we can treat it. That’s what precision medicine is all about,” said Hakan Sakul, executive director and head of diagnostics with the research and development arm of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, Inc. Sakul, 51, is based in Pfizer’s La Jolla offices. Recently, he gave a presentation about precision medicines and the diagnostic tests that are developed to work with them to the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club. Sakul is a native of Turkey, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He moved to the United States after receiving a scholarship from the Rotary Foundation. He earned his doctorate in quantitative genetics from the University of Minnesota. He’s been with Pfizer for 14 years and, in his current role, he helps develop the diagnostic tests used to identify patients who carry the genetic markers, which makes them good candidates for new precision medicines. One recent example is Xalkori, a drug developed by Pfizer to treat patients with non-small cell (NSC) lung cancer. Some 85 percent of lung cancer patients have the NSC type of disease, and of those a small group, perhaps 5 percent, have a gene called ALK. In those patients, their cancer is triggered when two genes fuse together and produce an abnormal protein. “Now we’ve got cancer,” Sakul said. “Our drug stops the production of this protein.” The drug actually docks onto the ALK gene, said Sakul, blocking it from producing the cancer-causing protein. Xalkori was approved in August 2011 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and has now been approved for use in 60 countries. Sakul worked with a partner company to create a diagnostic test that identifies patients who would benefit from the treatment. The test was first used to identify patients for

Hakan Sakul clinical trials of Xalkori, and was approved by the FDA on the same day as the drug. Other drug companies are also working on medications that target subgroups of people with diseases such as lung cancer, said Sakul. At Pfizer, precision medicines are a major focus in the research and development area. At an annual Pfizer shareholders meeting in 2011, company CEO Ian C. Read said, “We expect that in five years many of our late-stage clinical trial starts will reflect a precision medicine R&D approach.” Xalkori is not a cure, but it does shrink patients’ tumors, reducing symptoms and extending their lives. “What is amazing is how

quickly it does this in these patients,” Sakul said. At present, much of the focus in precision medicine is in the area of cancer treatment, where scientists have made much progress in identifying subgroups of patients with various forms of cancer. In his Rotary presentation, Sakul noted that scientists have currently identified 38 types of leukemia and 51 types of lymphoma. As recently as the 1950s, only three varieties of leukemia and two types of lymphoma had been delineated by researchers. Five-year survival rates for the two cancers combined have risen from zero in the early 1900s to 70 percent today. As science makes similar progress in other areas, such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and schizophrenia, drug companies can work to develop targeted drugs for subgroups of patients. But the drug-makers’ ad-

vances must track the pace of scientific discovery. “We can’t control the speed of science,” he said. After earning his doctorate, Sakul worked for a biotech company in San Diego. Later, his career took him to San Francisco, Boston, Connecticut and Idaho. He jumped at the chance to transfer back to San Diego five years ago. Sakul and his wife, Karin, have three children: Benjamin, 18, Melissa, 14, and Ryan, 11. When he’s not focusing on developing new diagnostic tests to work with precision medicine treatments, he enjoys bicycling (riding regularly to work), along with playing soccer and stand-up paddle boarding. He also travels extensively for his job, and visits friends and relatives in Turkey when he can.

Local teen to hold benefit concert to raise money for adoptions BY KRISTINA HOUCK Laura-Valentine Lock was adopted as a baby from China. Now, the local teen is helping other children find loving homes. “Whenever I think of kids without families in other countries or in our country, I just want them to be adopted into an amazing home like I was,” said 17-year-old Laura-Valentine. “That’s why I want to do this.” To help support the adoptions of three young boys with Down syndrome, Laura-Valentine will perform songs from her first album, “My Sweet Home,” on Oct. 18 at Santa Fe Christian School in Solana Beach. Money raised at the event will help the Francisco family in Oceanside adopt Noah, a toddler from Eastern Europe. The couple has four children of their own, including Andrew, a 6-year-old who also has Down syndrome. Funds will also help the Butlers in Virginia adopt Wilson from the Ukraine, and the Sellers in New Mexico adopt Endale from Ethopia. “These families are heroes to me,” Laura-Valentine said. “They’re going all the way over there to bring these kids back.” Laura-Valentine was adopted when she was three months old in China after being abandoned by her birth mother. Her adoptive parents, Ken Lock and Susan Sharpe, planned to adopt a baby girl named Feng LiLi when the baby went missing from the orphanage. “I was blessed to be the second one picked,” Laura-Valentine said. “Adoption is such a blessing to the children. And my mom always says that it’s really a blessing to her — that she’s the lucky one for adopting me — so it’s also a blessing for the parents.” In memory of the baby they never knew, Laura-Valentine’s parents started the Feng LiLi Foundation to help find homes for abandoned children around the world. Sharpe said the organization has financially assisted adoptions of more than 100 children so far. “A lot of people think that adoption is a last option when you’re unable to have your own children,” said Sharpe, who has an 18-year-old-biological son, James. “Adoption can be your first option. It’s been wonderful. She has changed our family dynamic.” Laura-Valentine’s own adoption, as well as mission trips to orphanages in Uganda, France, India and Mexico, inspired her to help other families adopt children. She raised donations to support the adoption of a young Ugandan girl during her Sweet 16 birthday and album release party in March 2012. Since then, Laura-Valentine has raised more than $30,000 to help with the adoption costs of seven children. She has also launched her own nonprofit organization, Laura-Valentine Ministries, to support the adoption of children around the world. “If I wasn’t adopted, I would be just like those kids,” Laura-Valentine said. “They’re all such wonderful people. They need to grow up in loving homes, too.” The concert begins at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18 at Santa Fe

The event will also feature a raffle for a rescue puppy. Tickets cost $10 per person or $40 per family at the door. Raffle tickets cost $10 or $50 for six tickets. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and we’re going to be helping kids. Who doesn’t want to help kids?” LauraValentine said. “Our community needs to know that by helping out, they are saving three wonderful children and giving them an opportunity to be adopted into a home and to be loved.” For more information, visit laura-valentine.com.

What’s the place in Carmel Valley?

You know, the one place that everyone agrees is where the style, the scene, the civic pride is. Where’s our Cedros, Del Mar Village or Little Italy? If nothing special comes to mind, perhaps it should. Maybe it’s time for Carmel Valley to have a place as signiﬁcant, as sophisticated, as engaging as the community itself. If you agree, it’s time to seize the opportunity – to create a signature destination for all of Carmel Valley.

Cinda Peck are members of SDYS. She also currently sings in the La Jolla Symphony Chorus with numerous performances each year at UCSD and around the county. For tickets, visit www. sdys.org or call 619-233-3232 x115.

TRAILS continued from page 1 hikers said more education about which sensitive areas to avoid — and not the issuance of tickets — is the best way to protect the preserve. “I don’t think that’s the way to achieve their goal,” said mountain biker Juan Ospina of Banker’s Hill. “I think it’s stupid,” said Greg Price of Mira Mesa, who was walking his two dogs on the SDGE access road, of the stepped-up enforcement. “Just walking along the trail is not going to disturb the animals. They’re existing trails, an existing resource, why not use it?” Erik Basil, an attorney and founding member of the Multi-Use Trails Coalition, was even more blunt in his assessment. Those targeted with citations aren’t building fires or illegally dumping on the land, but, “only people trying to enjoy one of the last places the city hasn’t allowed to be bulldozed,” Basil said. “It’s shooting fish

in a barrel. All the criminals they get to chase down are people wearing Spandex.” “The law-abiding public are prevented from accessing our public lands due to the inaction of the city and the brutal tactics of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife,” Basil said. The city is trying to accommodate recreational users, but, “We have an obligation to manage areas like this for wildlife purposes first and recreation second,” said Chris Zirkle, the city’s deputy director of Parks and Recreation. The preserve is considered a core biological area and “includes a very rich diversity of plants and animals that are rare, threatened and endangered,” Zirkle said. Those plants and animals include fairy shrimp that live in vernal pools, California gnatcatchers, horned lizards, Del Mar manzanita trees, short-leaved dudleya, wart-stemmed ceanothus and Orcutt’s brodiaea, a perennial herb that produces a purple flower.

While some in the mountain biking community may be convinced the preserve will eventually be developed, and therefore they might as well enjoy the trails unhampered until then, he said the city has a long-term commitment to maintaining the preserve as open space. “This is not going to get paved,” he said. He conceded that several years ago the city underestimated the amount of recreational use and an earlier version of the proposed resource management plan failed to include trails. “There was a righteous uproar, people were not happy,” he said. The city reworked the plan and a current version calls for 7.9 miles of recreational trails, including two “tunnels” trails that are especially popular with mountain bikers because they twist and turn beneath a canopy of oak boughs. Some 13.2 miles of trails would remain off-limits. The city has held a series of public meetings, and most recently, completed an archaeological study of the preserve. As part of the habitat management and trails plan, the Del Mar Mesa Community Plan will also be amended, Zirkle said. The next steps are to release the draft plan for public comment, then take the final plan to both the Planning Commission and the City Council. “I hope that it is (approved) early next year,” Zirkle said. In the meantime, state wardens will continue to enforce the current access restrictions, said Lt. Mike Ference of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Ference said multiple cameras installed in early summer in the preserve by Sandag documented 1,600 trespassing violations over a four-week period.

“It was so out of control something had to be done and that’s kind of why we were brought in,” Ference said. Wardens began stepped-up enforcement in late July, said Ference, and since then have recorded 283 contacts on Del Mar Mesa, along with issuing 122 citations and 75 warnings. Anecdotally, trail users have complained of tickets for as much as $475, but Ference said a simple trespassing ticket carries a $50 fine. The penalty may be higher for those caught in a fenced, highly sensitive biological area, or who attempt to flee from the wardens, Ference said. Ference said he’s been surprised both by the “sense of entitlement” by some users in spite of the “no trespassing” signs, and the willingness of mountain bikers to flee in an effort to avoid a ticket. Wardens have caught high-ranking military officers, airline pilots and doctors trying to get away, he said. The riders see CDFW peace officer who try to stop them, “and they will just take off on their bike and so we have to chase them,” he said. Wardens also confiscated the mountain bike of one man who had been contacted and warned to stay out of closed areas, “and he did it again,” Ference said. Keith Greer, a senior planner with SANDAG, said the current contract with CDFW is set to end this month, but is expected to be renewed. As the trails plan works its way through the city bureaucracy, Basil said his group is asking the city to immediately open the designated trails on a trial basis as a “show of good faith.” The Multi-Use Trails Coalition believes the trails should be open to all nonmotorized traffic, including bikers, hikers and equestrians, Basil said. “We believe the trails are for everyone.”

meeting and asked to come up with ways they could improve educational adequacy, building conditions, as well as potential safety and health issues on campus. The goal, as the district prepares the master plan, is for all facilities to be flexible, collaborative, connected and student- centered, said Kate Mraw, an interior designer with LPA Architects, the district’s facilitator in the master plan process. Don Pender, of LPA, and his team toured all of the district campuses and gathered impressions of each school’s conditions. “In some districts we see a lot of variety and inequity between sites. I don’t see that in your schools at all,” Pender said. “Obviously, the district thought a lot about what amenities need to be at each school.” Pender graded schools by their conditions: Ashley Falls, Sage Canyon, Sycamore Ridge and Ocean Air (all built between 1998 and 2007) were graded “A” schools. Torrey Hills, built in 2002, was graded a “B,” Del Mar Hills and Del Mar Heights, built between 1958 and 1975, were graded “C” and Carmel Del Mar, built in 1991, was considered the most in need of modernization and graded a “D.” Pender stressed that although some campuses are older and need improvements, they are all very well maintained. Of the four schools graded an “A,” Pender said there are strengths in the point of entry, flexible learning spaces, indoor/outdoor connections, and ease of access to the library. Places where they could improve are parent interaction spaces, covered lunch areas and flexible furnishings. Pender said Carmel Del Mar has severe HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system problems, lacks collaborative spaces, way-finding is difficult on the campus, the administrative office space is restrictive, and the library is constrained. “Carmel Del Mar is 21 years old now and we need some love,” said Principal Eileen Delaney. Randy Wheaton, director of maintenance and operations, said that CDM was built without air conditioning and the HVAC was a retrofit. In addition to a new HVAC, Wheaton said the roof needs to be addressed, as well as the lighting and electrical system, carpeting and flooring. “The MUR is also where we park our golf cart,” said Delaney. “It’s not an operating MUR.” While Pender rated their library as needing im-

provement, Delaney said she actually likes where it is located — centrally, with classrooms surrounding it. Of all the school sites, Del Mar Heights has the most re-locatable buildings with 13. Principal Wendy Wardlow said the re-locatables are antiquated and they would like to see them replaced with permanent buildings. “We’ve got the greatest school in the world but since you asked…” Wardlow said before listing their facilities needs and wish list items. Wardlow said that if a toilet flushes in building D the whole building shakes; there are poorly designed pie-shaped classrooms; no space for small groups; and not enough parking — there are 47 parking spaces and 60 staff members. Wardlow also said the entrance to the school is “really ugly,” adding that the shields need to be removed because it looks like a circus and she would also like to see their outdoor space enhanced to be more interactive and whimsical, noting “Ocean Air is kind of like our dream.” “We love our school but we do have issues,” Wardlow said. The group from Del Mar Hills was looking for an overall “freshening up.” The school has some odd room shapes but they are goodsized rooms — the group felt what they most need is collaboration spaces. Between pods of four or five rooms they have a small room, but they are mostly loaded up with storage materials. Kindergarten classrooms also don’t have their own bathrooms and they have to walk in pairs to the health office. “We love our library,” said parent Juli Oh. “It’s a funky space but we love that it is the hub and everything is around it.” At Torrey Hills, the group noted there is no air conditioning in their multiuse room, not adequate space in music and technology labs as class sizes are getting larger, and there is a need for good outdoor lighting and an outdoor PA system for events. There is often standing water and mud on their playfields due to drainage issues. Teacher Jodi Nielson said they understand a track would be extremely expensive, but they wondered if it would be possible to do something there to simulate a track for running and other activities. “We have a nightmare of a drop-off and pick-up,” said Principal Barbara Boone. “It backs up all the way to the street, it needs to be redesigned….It’s a safety issue more than anything else.”

by the state. The only thing that is required by the state is that it is not precluded. Therefore, a minimum of one zone needs to be identified.” The council adopted its housing element in May 2013, which was certified by the state in June. The plan, which includes a number of goals, policies and programs to address the city’s housing needs, did not identify a zone for emergency shelters. Defined by state law, an emergency shelter offers up to six months of temporary housing for the homeless. Under the proposed or-

FACILITIES Ashley Falls Principal Chris Delehanty said the carpets — although regularly cleaned — have 15 years on them, grass is needed in the kindergarten play area, and their library is packed with books, which needs to be considered as the district moves toward creating library/media centers. He also said there are some campus security issues, such as needing blinds on windows and doors. At Sycamore Ridge, the desks are really large and as classrooms have upward of 28 or 29 students there’s not a lot of room for movement. The group said the preschool housed on campus also needs room to grow

dinance, shelters must be located at least 300 feet from homes, schools or other emergency shelters in the north commercial zone, a roughly 15-acre section of the city that has 28 developed buildings and is located along the major transportation corridor. Shelters would have a maximum of 10 beds and would be open to people for six months, with a 60-day waiting period between stays. Shelters must also have on-site security. “State law requires that the use of a homeless shelter must be allowed by right, which mean that it has no special permit,” said Garcia, who noted that shelters could also be used for emer-

Principal Ryan Stanley reflected that as the newest school, their campus is in excellent condition but they would still like more flexible furnishing to open up space in classrooms and a focused point of entry for parents similar to what Sycamore Ridge has.

gencies such as a fire or flood. “That is a requirement by the state of California that all jurisdictions must comply with.” Concerned about property values, two Del Mar residents suggested the city designate the Public Works Department or other cityowned land instead. “I think we’re opening a door that we may not want to open. Why do we want to allow the homeless to live right next to the single-family properties in Del Mar?” asked resident Sharyn

Then the city can decide whatever they want to do with it.” Council members continued the matter to the Oct. 21 meeting, so staff could explore whether the 300-foot requirement could be expanded, determine the temporary nature of the ordinance, and provide a map of the zone.

Del Mar designer still thriving in career that included Nixon’s ‘Western White House’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar resident Arline “A.J.” Genis was a fly on the wall during the filming of David Frost’s interviews with former President Richard Nixon in 1977. She and her business partner designed the set for the widely televised interviews, where Nixon apologized to the American people for the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. “This is the true story of what really happened when British journalist David Frost bullied a TV confession out of the disgraced ex-president Nixon,” said 80-year-old Genis. “I was the fly on the wall.” Television crews couldn’t shoot in Nixon’s “Western White House” in San Clemente because Coast Guard transmitters interfered with the television equipment. Therefore, Genis, then 43, and her business partner, Sandy Blake, created the set in a Laguna Beach home owned by a Nixon supporter. The pair visited Nixon’s home to prepare for the project. Genis said the house included small offices for his aides that were empty. “It was very weird because half of the people noted on those offices had gone to jail,” she said. The designers didn’t use any of Nixon’s furniture, but he had to clear every item on set, Genis said. They had to build two chairs because Nixon had phlebitis and his legs had to be elevated. But the biggest technical issue, Genis said, were the bookcases. They had to handpick every book in camera range. “We stripped it — a huge mansion up on the hill — and we recreated his office,” she said. Genis said she and her partner were first contacted on Jan. 23 and the first of 12 interviews took place two months later on March 23, 1977. The interviews aired in four parts during 1977, with the first on May 4, attracting 45 million viewers. The episode still holds the record high for an audience for a political program. “It was an honor to work for the president — even an ex-president in disgrace,” Genis said. “I happened to have thought he was a man who was brilliant who just shot himself in the foot. He was brilliant, and I spent 31 days with him learning about his brilliance.” Even when the set was designed, Genis and her partner

heart disease or high blood pressure,” Lippman said. The tech effect During a panel on the ways technology is changing the patient experience, Peter Yu, president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, said technology should be employed to create a better record of patients’ experiences. “Unfortunately, cancer is not curable in most cases … and so there are painful choices,” Yu said, noting that the term “quality of life” can be difficult to define. “We have ways for patients to give us that information,” he said. Pat Christen, president and CEO of HopeLab, talked about how her organization is helping adolescents with cancer deal with their disease though a series of online video games called, “ReMission 2.” Christen said that when HopeLab developed the ini-

grew up a self-proclaimed “show business brat.” Her father was the road manager in the Big Band era for Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. “I never lived in a house until I was married to my first husband. Only hotels,” Genis said. “So I had a very peculiar upbringing. The only place I get a good night’s rest is in a hotel.” Genis married her first husband at 18 years old, had two children, and was divorced at 21. Although she said she couldn’t act, sing or dance, her father said she should become an actress to earn money for her family. “He said, ‘Don’t worry about it. We’ll shoot you from the neck up.’ And that’s what he did.” She appeared in a number of television shows, including “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Lone Ranger,” and worked alongside actors like Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando in feature films. All were “bit parts,” Genis said. “Anything 10 lines and under they trusted me with,” said Genis, who was also a stand-in for actresses like Elizabeth Taylor and Joanne Woodward. “I was a bad dancer and a lousy actress, but they loved me because I was honest.” Genis was 27 when her mother decided she was “too old to be an ingénue.” Therefore, she ventured into the design business with her mother, whose Woodland Hills business, “Louise Studios,” had celebrity clientele. She opened her own business, Designer Circle, when her mother retired two years later. “My career as an actress wasn’t notable; but along the way, I picked up people who became my clients when I became a designer,” Genis said. “My wealth is in the friendships I made. Without them, I’m nothing.” It was roughly that time when Genis married her current husband of nearly 55 years and the couple had twin sons. Her husband Daniel, whose special effects portfolio includes the laser sword sequences in the first “Star Wars” film, currently works as a consultant to people in the film industry. Genis still owns her business and is currently designing the interior of a new restaurant set to open on Sunset Boulevard later this year. In addition to her work, Genis enjoys spending time with her family and supporting arts in the community. She and her husband are supporters of La Jolla Playhouse, The Old Globe in San Diego and North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. She also serves as a board member for North Coast Rep. “My father and mother gave me that,” Genis said. “They said, ‘Fame, if you win it, comes and goes in a minute. If you’re lucky enough to gain wealth, give it away.’ So that’s what I do.” tial version of the game, they found “shockingly horrible” technology in many hospitals. “You often hear about virtual divides … in the context of patients not having access to computers or the Internet or Smartphones,” she said, noting the need to get technology in people’s hands that is “meaningful to them, and in a context that makes sense.” In the case of teen cancer patients stuck for long periods in waiting rooms, Christen said the game proved “very engaging for them, and emotionally salient,” helping them view their treatment as an adventure and fight to be engaged in. “Data is incredibly important, incredibly powerful,” Christen said. “We need to be making evidencebased decisions, but people do not change behavior based on data. They change behavior when something is emotionally salient to them.” In order to get people to change their eating habits, take medications or quit smoking, she said, the

healthcare industry must pay closer attention to shifts in behavior that are constantly taking place — for instance, how memes and trends move through a culture, Christen said. “Unfortunately, that’s often used for things that are not good for our health, but there is no reason they couldn’t be used for things that are pro-health,” she said. “Millions and millions of dollars get invested in making sure you’re buying the right car or the right perfume. If we had that same impetus we could make some pretty dramatic shifts” in people’s health habits, she said. Jordan Shlain, founder and chair of HealthLoop, said health practitioners should be approaching the problem from a standpoint of “choice architecture,” which is used in marketing and product placement. “If you make something easy for somebody at the time they want to do it, they will do it,” he said.

Carmel Valley production company to hold auditions for dating show BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Carmel Valley company is producing a dating show that won’t be like other dating programs. In addition to casting local contestants and filming in San Diego, men and women on “The Romance” won’t live in a mansion, fly to Bora Bora and propose by the end of the season. “Real life is trying to find that special someone and date while you’re living the rest of your life,” said creator, executive producer and host Ken Gora, who heads production company Branded Entertainment. “It seems very unreal that cameras are following you everywhere in a mansion and you’re going on these dream dates and you’re laying by the swimming pool every day. Gee, I could fall in love with a grizzly bear in those circumstances.” In six, 30-minute episodes, “The Romance” will follow six men and 16 women on a variety of dates. Ranging in age from 24 to 44, all of the contestants won’t look like models, Gora said. “The reason why San Diego will tune into this program is because we think following men and women who live in the city — that [viewers] may have worked with or may run into at Starbucks — has a more local appeal to them than watching women from Nashville, Dallas and Washington, D.C. trying to meet one man,” said Gora, a Carmel Valley resident. Although the show is intended to entertain audiences and help contestants find love and romance, it’s also to bring new customers and revenue to some of San Diego’s local businesses. With a doctorate in psychology and a background in recruitment, Gora launched his first local reality TV show, “So You Think You Can Sell,” in February. The show, which he described as a cross between “American Idol” and “The Apprentice,” featured local companies to help support small businesses and stimulate the local economy. “The Romance” will also feature more than 40 local

Executive Producer Ken Gora businesses, restaurants and venues, including Sbicca in Del Mar, Mia Francesca in Carmel Valley, Kuki Squared in Rancho Santa Fe, and Crush in Solana Beach. “I think people will find it entertaining,” Gora said. “By tuning in, you’ll also discover some great San Diego businesses and support

our local economy. The show will help our audience discover new things.” “The Romance” will premiere at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 12, on San Diego’s Channel Four, through both Cox and Time Warner Cable providers. Auditions will be held on Oct. 11 and 12 at The Grand Del Mar, 5300 Grand Del Mar Court, San Diego. For more information about “The Romance,” visit www.theromance.tv.

Del Mar legend continues his legacy in Rotary BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO, DEL MAR ROTARY CLUB The history of Del Mar is not complete without including the accomplishments of Winners Circle Resorts International Inc. founder and president Mr. Jim Watkins. Since Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival to Del Mar in 1968, his contributions in development and tourism have put Del Mar on the map for thousands of annual visitors. Many see the development of Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Auberge Hotel as a standing homage to the legacy heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built in this town. But for the Rotary Club of Del Mar, his legacy lives on in a very different way. On Thursday, Sept. 26, Kit Leeger graduated from her Red Badge Rotarian status to become a full, official

Kit Leeger and Jim Watkins Blue Badge member of the Rotary Club of Del Mar. Kit is a successful architect as Principal of Leeger Architec-

ture, resident of Del Mar and also happens to be the daughter of Jim Watkins. Jim, a Del Mar Rotarian since he moved to the area decades ago, brought Kit to the club and she has been a welcomed new member since day one. The fatherdaughter duo brings a new element of heritage and fellowship to the club as it strengthens the tie of the club to the local communi-

tyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Kit has already jumped in to attend district events, work on service projects and has enjoyed bringing her nieces and nephews to the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Chili & Quackers fundraiser at Powerhouse Park. Jim says it brings him great joy to see his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in life as well as her membership with the club, and he knows she will accomplish â&#x20AC;&#x153;great things with this great club.â&#x20AC;?

Del Mar resident Martin Cooper receives Marconi Prize BY ARTHUR LIPPER Martin Cooper, a longtime resident of Del Mar and the inventor of the cell phone, recently received the Marconi Society 2013 Prize for Creativity and Social Contribution. The Marconi Prize was awarded at a gala dinner in the 17th century Palazzo Albergati, one of Bologna, Italy’s showplaces, with more than 220 Italian luminaries, academics, business leaders and wireless industry executives from all over the world in attendance. In accepting this prestigious prize Cooper said, “In the future wireless communication will permit the professional analysis of continuing personal health data which will allow diseases to be preventable, rather than just predictable.” Aside from delivering several talks at the three-day Marconi Institute for Creativity event, culminating in the award of the Marconi Prize, Cooper was pleased to be able to sit at Guglielmo Marconi’s work table desk in the Marconi Museum, where Marconi first conceived and performed his early wireless communication experi-

ments. Vinton Cerf, the vice chairman of the Marconi Society, a Marconi Fellow and Google VP and Chief Internet Evangelist, said, “Today, what Marty foresaw seems pretty elementary, but the idea of making telecommunications person-centric, instead of tied to a particular place — or car, home or telephone booth — caused a tectonic shift in the industry.” “Smartphones are like Marty’s original phone’s grandchildren,” Vint Cerf noted in his introduction of Martin Cooper before presenting the Marconi Prize. SanDiego-area Marconi Society Fellows similarly honored previously include: Irwin Jacobs, Andrew Viterbi, the late Jack Kent Wolf, as well as a number of non-local Fellows well known for their contributions to society through invention and innovation in the fields of communication, of course, including the Internet.

Girl Scout Troop 1673 from Solana Pacific Elementary School earns Bronze Award Troop 1673 earned their Girl Scout Bronze award by organizing a peanut butter drive and teaching their classmates at Solana Pacific the importance of donating peanut butter to the San Diego Food Bank. The “Sandpiper Peanut Butter Palooza,” named after their school mascot, received over 645 pounds of peanut butter (enough for over 10,000 sandwiches!)! The girls learned of the food bank’s need for this non-perishable protein after a tour they took last year. Special thanks to the Solana Pacific student body and staff, Whole Foods and Pacific Beach Peanut Butter Company for their support and donations.

BY JULIA CAMILLERI, 9TH GRADER, CANYON CREST ACADEMY Three girls in Cadette Troop 1458, Julia Camilleri, Meredith Jennings and McKenna Preutt, recently completed their Girl Scout Silver Award with the support of their troop leader, Katherine Jennings. Through the Helen Woodward Animal Center, the girls were put in touch with the Therapeutic Riding Program, which offers weekly sessions for children and adults with special needs. This program helps riders improve their balance, muscle development and learning skills in a fun, safe and rewarding environment and also increases the self-esteem and confidence of riders. Working with Alicia Roe, manager of the Therapeutic Riding Program, they decided to build two benches to provide a comfortable place for the parents and caregivers of riders to wait while their children participate in the program. Raw materials were purchased from the proceeds of a garage sale. Ace Hardware in Carmel Valley generously donated supplies and Peter Roussos assisted by cutting the wood and providing woodworking expertise. The Therapeutic Riding Program has many additional needs since they have only recently moved to a new part of the Helen Woodward property. More information can be obtained from Alicia Roe at The Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Q&A with New York Times best-selling author Christopher Reich BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Despite his multi-New York Times best-seller status and the pressures that entails, local resident Christopher Reich makes time for his kids, his community, and to give back to the writing community at large. A fitness enthusiast, when not writing Reich likes to hit the gym, spin, and get to the mountains for some serious climbing. First on his bucket list is to compete in The Amazing Race with his daughter, Katja, when she turns 18. Reich’s new novel, “The Prince of Risk,” will be available in stores Dec. 3 , and Reich will be a keynote speaker and teach at the La Jolla Writers Conference Nov.1-3. For more information, visit www.christopherreich. com. We recently asked Chris Reich some questions about his writing process and how he got to be the success he is today. 1. What in your background prepared you to be a writer? And when did you know you wanted to write? I never had any specific training to become a novelist. I did not take any English classes in college. In fact, I’d never even written a short story before deciding to quit my job running a Swiss watch company to write “Numbered Account,” my first novel. Having said that, I knew that I was a gifted writer. I had always received glowing remarks on my college papers and as an investment banker, I was the person chosen to write the “deal memos” – massive tomes summarizing businesses being bought or sold. 2. You had a burgeoning business career. What was the catalyst that made you chuck it all and write? At the age of 29, I founded and ran a watch company in Switzerland called “Giorgio Beverly Hills Timepieces.” After five years, I’d done my best to build it up. My relationship with my financiers was not great. It just felt like time to move on. At some point, I’d gotten the idea that I could write novels for a living. I was recently married. I had some money in the bank. I said “Why the heck not?” Credit also goes to my wife who said, “I know you can do this.” Writers need confidence like humans need air!! 3. Writers often receive push-back from their families. How did those closest to you react when you said you

wanted to write? As I said, my wife was all for it. She wanted to move to a warmer climate and we had chosen Austin,

Texas as our new home. My parents were skeptical, but supportive. I do remember some of my good friends having a laugh at my expense. I mean, come on… how many people actually make it writing novels full time? 4. A lot of writers keep their day jobs and write second shift. Why didn’t you do so? I knew that to do a good job, it was all or nothing. I had some savings. I decided to go “all in.” 5. You started with financial thrillers. Why this genre, and how did your first book do? “Write what you know.” I spent years working in a Swiss bank in Zurich. It seemed like a no brainer that this is where I’d set my first book. “Numbered Account” was a giant success. New York Times best seller, published in over 20 countries...it doesn’t get any better. I still pinch myself! 6. Besides the money, what is the primary difference between being a NY Times best-selling author and an aspiring author? I think the difference is

that I write for a living… meaning I have to create well-written, commercially appealing stories within a set time period that will bring me a paycheck to support my family. There is no room for writer’s block or waiting for inspiration. I don’t have a backstop. Of course, there’s also the matter of respect within the industry, winning awards, and being a proven commodity. All are very nice. But you know…it never gets easier to come up with a solid story. Never. 7. Character driven, plot driven. How would you describe your writing? And which makes for a better book? You need both to make a great book. Look at “Gone Girl.” Great plot. Great characters. I think my books are primarily plot driven. They’re thrillers…so by definition the plot is everything. The hard part is bringing the characters to life so that their personal predicaments are as compelling as whether the plane will crash or the bomb will go off or the president will be assassinated! 8. How has publishing

and being an author evolved since your first book? Big question. The industry has changed tremendously. Far fewer publishers. Far fewer bookstores. Ebooks! Paperback sales have fallen off the cliff. But you still need to write a good story! 9. Tell us a bit about your new book, out in December. “The Prince of Risk” centers on a wealthy, flamboyant New York hedge fund supremo who, while investigating the murder of his father, the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange and the chairman of the Federal Reserve, uncovers a plot to bring down the U.S. financial markets…and must risk his entire fortune to stop it. 10. What is the best bit of advice you have for new and aspiring authors? Apply back of pants to seat of chair.

Solana Beach 7-year-old places third in BMX Hall of Fame nationals BY KRISTINA HOUCK When 4-year-old Peyton Rodgers scraped his arm during his first practice at Kearny Moto Park in San Diego, he wanted to give up riding. Then he saw the trophies. “He said, ‘OK, maybe I’ll stay,” recalled his father, Paul Rodgers, whose family lives in Solana Beach. After competing in his first local competition that same day, Peyton took home a second place novice trophy. Dozens of trophies and nearly three years later, the Solana Vista second grader now competes in the intermediate class and is two wins away from the expert class. He recently placed fourth, then third, in two 7-year-old intermediate competitions during the USA BMX National circuit Sept. 27-29 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. Renamed the Hall of Fame nationals, more than 1,000 amateur competitors from across the United States competed throughout the three-day event on the smaller amateur track, while professionals and Olympians competed in the UCI BMX Supercross held on the London-replica course.

Peyton Rodgers with his trophy. courtesy photo “It felt great,” said 7-year-old Peyton. “I was proud.” When Peyton was just 3 years old, his uncle gave him a BMX bike. His cousins, who live in Illinois, have competed in a number of BMX competitions. After Peyton got a bit older and taller, Rodgers and his wife took their son for a practice ride at Kearny Moto Park. “He grew into the bike,” Rodgers said. “But we had no clue what we were doing. We just went down to the racetrack one day.” Peyton has always enjoyed playing outdoors and competing in sports, Rodgers said. He started riding his bike without training wheels when he was just 2 years old. Like his 11-year-old sister, Peyton also plays soccer, in addition to baseball and basketball. “I like the fact that he’s involved in one sport where it’s just all him,” Rodgers said. “He really loves his team sports, too, but with this one, he doesn’t have to rely on anybody but himself. It builds confidence and that spills over into everything else you do.” Peyton, who can currently ride around the Kearny Mesa track in less than 40 seconds, wants to increase his time. He also hopes to eventually ride on a BMX team. “I like riding a bike,” Peyton said. “It feels good to go fast.”

Solana Highlands School breaks fundraising records; ‘Penguin Principal’ celebrates! Solana Highlands Elementary School recently broke several fundraising records through its Innisbrook fundraiser held Sept. 13-27. Solana Highlands families sold $32,000 worth of quality gift wrap, chocolates and other items to net the school’s PTA $15,000 for use in programs this year. The total amount raised was up over 30 percent from last year, and the proceeds will be used to fund classroom grants, Gold Medal Reading, Running Club, Family Fun Night(s), Heritage Night, and many other PTA programs. A “stretch” target of $25,000 had initially been set and students had been promised that Solana Highlands Principal Jerry Jones would dress up as a penguin if the target was reached (the Innisbrook theme this year was penguins). The success of the program can be seen above as Principal Jerry Jones recently came to school dressed as a penguin!

Education Matters/Opinion

Money well spent? BY MARSHA SUTTON After t h r e e months and $3.2 million of PropoMarsha Sutton sition AA taxpayer money, Canyon Crest Academy has a field to rival the Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Well, maybe not quite. But to my untrained eye, it looks beyond beautiful, almost too perfect to set foot on. Jaw-droppingly gorgeous, really. Before I focus on the outrageousness of spending millions of dollars on a field, when there are so many academic needs the money could have been used for, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s give the San Dieguito Union High School District credit for being fiscally responsible. The project was estimated to cost $3.9 million, but has come in well below that amount â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $600,000 to $700,000 under budget so far. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive. Now the dark side. The district still spent well more than $3 million on a playing field. When asked why focus on a school thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, Eric

Dill, SDUHSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate superintendent of business services, responds that the district is finally completing the original project that started 10 years ago when the school was built. What was left undone, Dill said, were the fields. And now with the passage of Prop. AA and $449 million in bond money, the district can use a chunk of it to bring its newest school up to parity with the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other high schools. This line of thinking assumes that all schools need to be the same, when there is great merit in schools that specialize in unique ways that set them apart from one another. This attracts a certain kind of student whose interests mesh with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities. Distinction and differentiation, rather than standardization and conformity, define a culture for a school that makes it special. The foundational values of CCA originally concentrated on academics of course, but with an arts and technology focus. Athletics initially took a back seat to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main charter. Yet CCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mantra

is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;academics, athletics and the arts.â&#x20AC;? I love the alliteration but is there no room for science and technology in there when that was part of the original vision? CCA students are featured regularly in this newspaper for their incredible technological accomplishments. To ignore this facet of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special focus seems a mystifying oversight. CCA senior Eric Chen was just named the grand prize winner of the acclaimed international Google Science Fair for developing new treatments to fight influenza. Although this is arguably the crowning achievement so far for CCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student body, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only one. Kids there do astonishing work in nonathletic pursuits. According to district officials, the new all-weather track and artificial turf field will serve just onethird of the student population at CCA, for kids in after-school soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and track and field. It will also be used for regular physical education. The money from Prop. AA cannot be used for teachers or salaries and is only for facilities, materials and equipment longer-lasting than items with short

life spans like Chromebooks or iPads. But surely there are other, better uses for millions of dollars that meet the bondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal restrictions. Worse yet, the money spent to build the track and field is only a small portion of the Prop. AA budget allotted to CCA for sports-related expenditures. The overall budget for the outdoor athletic area at CCA is a staggering $20 million. Now that this phase is complete, the next phase is to build a concession and restroom building and bleachers to accommodate 3,000 spectators. This project is expected to be completed in mid-2015 and will cost $3.5 million. After that, according to Dill, the remaining $12.6 million in the $20 million budget will go toward construction of a varsity softball field, a varsity baseball field, grading of 30 acres of natural turf fields, and the new middle school track and grass field adjacent to CCA. Decrepit portable classrooms Two weeks ago, Dill led school board members and others on a tour of CCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new fields, the land next to CCA designated for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth middle school, and to Torrey Pines High School to view the

site where new science buildings will be built by December 2016. Spending bond money to build new classrooms and science labs is a wonderful use of taxpayer dollars, and Torrey Pines certainly deserves the latest in facilities and equipment to advance scientific study and learning at the school. But when you tour Torrey Pines and see how beautiful the football field is compared to the decrepit portable classrooms, old carpet, peeling paint, lack of air conditioning, inadequate wireless access, and other facility deficiencies related to the academic environment, one has to wonder what the priorities have been over the years. I like physical exercise as much as anyone and certainly see the benefits for kids. But money for education is scarce and should be applied more judiciously when kids can do their sports outside of school in clubs or other independent, organized programs. When counselors are responsible for 450 to 500 students each and classes are stuffed with nearly 50 kids, spending $20 million on fields and bleachers borders on disgraceful. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shortage of better alternatives. How about modernizing supplies

and equipment for chemistry and biology labs? Field trips to symphonies and museums? A machine shop for physics and robotics? Seminars or one-day programs in technology or the arts? Outside professionals to help seniors with college applications? How many more Eric Chens could the school produce, how many more international robotics champions could CCA claim, and how much scientific innovation could CCA trumpet, if $20 million were allocated to science and technology? For that kind of dough, the district could create a school that would make scientists at Torrey Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Science Park salivate. Praise for the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due diligence Despite all my grumbling about the upsidedown focus on athletics as a priority, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t argue about the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level of due diligence with the bond money. Dan McAllister, San Diego County treasurer and tax collector, praised San Dieguito for devoting years of research and facility planning before placing the bond on the ballot and for the detailed information provided to voters that fully

Advocate for torture survivors speaks to Rotary Club

MONEY

Kathi Anderson, founder and executive director of “Survivors of Torture, International” in San Diego gave an informative and moving presentation to the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club at a recent meeting. “Survivors” facilitates the healing of torture survivors; educates professionals and the public about torture and its consequences, and advocates for the abolition of torture. “Survivors,” an independent nonprofit, helps San Diego County survivors of politically motivated torture (and their families) through medical, dental, psychiatric, and social services. All services are provided free to the survivors, most of whom suffer from both dislocation and feelings of shame, humiliation and isolation. Since its inception in 1997, Survivors of Torture has helped more than 1,300 survivors of torture from more than 70 countries, many of them former leaders and professionals. Most have lived in refugee camps for long periods of time and cannot return home. The screening process to resettle them in different countries is complex and rigorous. However, these survivors display amazing resilience and are able to rehabilitate themselves when given a little help and support, accomplishing increased participation in education, employment and community activities, and a reduction in homelessness. For more information please contact Kathi Anderson via kanderson@notorture.org or visit www.notorture.org The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club is one of over 34,000 Rotary Clubs in more than 200 countries that work to make communities at home and around the world better places for all.

specified how the money would be allocated. McAllister also applauded San Dieguito’s willingness to adhere to sensible restrictions on capital appreciation bonds before a law was passed mandating the restrictions. That law, Assembly Bill 182, was signed last week by Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, despite heavy lobbying from construction and financial planning groups that opposed it. AB 182, which addresses the structure and sale of CABs, has four components: a maximum payback ratio of 4 to 1, a callable feature, limited bond maturity of 25 years, and transparency. Championed locally by McAllister with strong support from Calif. state treasurer Bill Lockyer, the bill was sponsored by Sen. Ben Hueso and Assembly member Joan Buchanan. First introduced in early 2013, it passed the state’s assembly and senate subcommittees, committees and full floor votes unanimously. The bill eliminates school districts’ ability to saddle taxpayers with debt

that can balloon to over 10 times the principal amount approved by voters, an abuse that was exposed in the Poway Unified School District recently and became the inspiration for this bill. “I am thrilled with the passage of Assembly Bill 182,” McAllister said in a statement. “This represents a new dawn and a new day for school and community college districts throughout the state of California.” McAllister also said he was particularly proud of San Dieguito, “as they courageously stood up before the bill was signed into law and did the right thing in adopting and utilizing all of the key components of AB 182. Taxpayers in San Dieguito can take pride that their board of trustees was proactive in implementing the proposed legislation.” San Dieguito gets an A+ for doing it right. Taxpayers apparently thought so too, because they approved the measure which contained clear language for voters to review that detailed exactly how the money would be spent. A win is a win, although I would not necessarily call a 55.1 percent passage rate an overwhelming mandate when 55 percent was needed.

Nonetheless, the district laid out its plan, and the money for athletic field improvements was precisely specified in the bond language. So seeing this immaculate new field as the opener in a long list of projects shouldn’t come as a great surprise. Still, the school cost about $100 million to build 10 years ago, and the thought of $20 million now going to sports-related construction just makes my heart sink. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

I’m happy to report the work in the Mayor’s office is charging full steam ahead. My staff and all City employees are dedicated to doing the peoples’ work. They are knowledgeable professionals in their respective fields and are committed to being responsive and helpful to you. I invite you to visit our new Mayor’s web page to communicate with me and keep abreast of what we’re working on. Just how much can I accomplish in 81 days between when I took on this role and the Nov. 19 election? Visit the web site to find out, www.sandiego.gov. Additionally, I send out e-newsletter updates about two times per month. You may sign up on the web site or send an email to toddgloria@sandiego.gov and you’ll be placed on the list. In the name of progress, there is much to report on. The previous administration was criticized for its lackadaisical approach to enforcing our laws and codes consistently, which led to unfair treatment benefiting San Diegans who happened to have acInterim Mayor cess to my predecessor. As your representative, I see it as my job to modify laws that don’t make sense. Unless and until laws can be modified, they must be enforced. This is the current challenge I face as I work with my City Council colleagues, the City Attorney, and City staff to develop sensible code updates to allow medical marijuana dispensaries and food trucks to operate legally in ways that balance the needs of their clients and the surrounding neighborhoods. I appreciate the input provided from passionate San Diegans on both topics, and the measures we’re developing will be publicly vetted prior to their consideration by the City Council. It’s essential your voices are heard; my decisions are always informed by your input. Just like your participation guides our actions at City Hall, San Diego’s interests must be well-represented in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. I am proud that we recently re-hired lobbying firms to resume the representation of San Diego before lawmakers and influencers in our state and national capitols. For the past nine months, San Diego has had no one at the table vying for our interests or funding, which is troubling given the looming sequestration and its potential effect on local families and businesses whose way of life is directly connected to our military economy and other federal spending. Late last month, the City initiated a process for new lobbying contracts to ensure that, moving forward, San Diego receives the representation it deserves. I headed to Washington, D.C. with members from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce the first week of October and met with key stakeholders to advocate for San Diego on Capitol Hill. So what have I learned during these past few weeks as Interim Mayor? I’ve learned I really love this job. I love the people side of it, the consensus-building side of it, the making progress side of it. Make no mistake, it’s a demanding job and I do my best to balance my roles as Interim Mayor, Council President and Councilmember. But at the end of each day, it’s the people that make it great – diverse stakeholders coming to the table with different ideas on how we can collectively make San Diego a better place to live. This is a great gig. There is much work to be done between now and when a new mayor takes office. I appreciate your continued patience and participation in these upcoming months. As always, thank you for the opportunity to serve.

One Paseo PR – Lipstick on a Pig I was excited to read that Trader Joe’s has pulled out of the One Paseo project, and will open in The Village at Pacific Highlands. Residents of Pacific Highlands Ranch have long yearned for shopping options closer to their home, and now they are lucky to be getting what they want. One Paseo has long claimed that it is giving Carmel Valley “the Main Street it really wants!” But its ads bear little resemblance to reality, just like Kilroy’s slick presentations at Carmel Valley Planning Board (CVPB) meetings. Indeed, in speaking to residents in the neighborhood closest to the project site (my own neighborhood of Alta Mar and other developments north across Del Mar Heights Rd.), I have not found a single supporter of the gargantuan mixed-use project (complete with office complex and UTC-style multistory condos). Many neighbors, distracted by the buzz about a possible Trader Joe’s, did not realize that the proposed project (even at its “reduced” size) would be nearly five times the size of the Del Mar Highlands Shopping Center. Many were misled by the ads One Paseo ran showing families holding hands as they played in a green space. They had no idea that the green spaces would be little lawns surrounded by multistory office buildings, more dense than UTC. As we have learned more, we have been especially alarmed about the traffic impacts that the project will have in Carmel Valley. While Kilroy has pledged to build a signalsynchronizing traffic mitigation system, it is modeled after one in San Marcos which does not actually work when there is traffic. We are also disgusted by a plan to “mitigate” traffic by having two northbound left-turn lanes

at High Bluff. This dangerous idea will dump would-be speeders off of Del Mar Heights Road, into our neighborhood, and in front of Solana Highlands Elementary School. When One Paseo reps gave their presentation at the Aug. 8 CVPB meeting, they acted as if the staunch opposition to their project did not exist. Admitting that traffic would be slowed dramatically, but wanting to spin it positively, Kilroy’s team showed drawings of beautiful trees that would be planted on Del Mar Heights Rd. to improve “the experience of the driver.” They noted that currently we try to get “from Point A to Point B” as fast as we can in Carmel Valley, but that the trees would help us to slow down and enjoy the scenery! They also showed pictures of little green spaces they would put on the outside of One Paseo, and made fanciful analogies with the Champs Elysées and the boulevards of Barcelona. Some at the meeting commented that no one will use these “micro-parks,” while others said that it was the height of ridiculousness to pretend that One Paseo will turn Del Mar Heights Rd. into a Parisian boulevard. It is no wonder that so many people have been using the phrase “Lipstick on a Pig” to describe Kilroy’s approach. I have encouraged my neighbors to go to CVPB meetings, educate themselves and voice their opinions. But they have each returned home infuriated by the PR campaigns they have witnessed there. As one neighbor asked me after the meeting, “Does Kilroy really believe that Carmel Valley residents are that stupid?” Alyssa Sepinwall, Carmel Valley

Don’t be an unwitting pawn in their political game BY SOLANA BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEMBER LESA HEEBNER Last week, every resident in Solana Beach received a mailer and/or email regarding a potential costly Special Election on the use policy for the Fletcher Cove Community Center. It asked you to tell your Council members you are “not in favor of spending our scarce taxpayer dollars on a Special Election for the Fletcher Cove Community Center.” Thank you for your emails and postcards. I agree with you. But do you know why we are even talking about this? You might be interested in a little background. The use policy at the newly renovated Fletcher Cove Community Center (FCCC) came up a couple years ago. I was in favor of a trial period to see how it went: try out a few parties per month, beer and wine allowed, parking in designated lots, no DJs, ambient music okay, etc. Others on the Council were for some aspects; not for others. Some neighbors were for; others absolutely against. Studies were done, meetings were held. It became very controversial, divisive and emotional. During the latter part of this summer you probably saw signature gatherers at the grocery store asking you to sign a petition to allow private parties at the FCCC. What you were probably not told by them was that signing the petition meant the city would be forced to spend $250,000 for a Special Election. The people behind this petition announced they were intent on gathering 15 percent of our voters’ signatures to force a Special Election. They achieved that mark. By law, they could turn their petition in to the city anytime within six months. Early submission meant a $250,000 Special Election; later submission meant a $20,000 General Election in June. Rather than do the prudent thing, they turned in their petition early, thereby forcing a $250,000 Special Election. Isn’t it interesting that they are now saying they don’t want an expensive Special Election? Also, isn’t it interesting that they spent thousands to send a postcard to you and every other household in the city to ask you to ask us not to spend the money for the election they forced by submitting the signatures early? Yes…you read right: the people who sent you the postcard are the very ones who gathered the signatures and turned them in early, forcing a $250,000 Special Election! Why? What do they want? They want the city to adopt their idea for how the FCCC should be used. By the way, the City does have a use policy in place for the FCCC that allows private parties. It’s known as the Compromise Policy because it takes into consideration public safety concerns, the concerns of the neighbors as well as the desires of those who want to hold parties there. But there’s more! You were also not told by the signature gatherers that by utilizing the Initiative process and forcing an expensive Special Election, the use policy for the FCCC cannot be adjusted except by another expensive election! Any public safety concerns that may arise from raucous parties, overuse of alcohol, bands playing outside every weekend, party goers’ cars parked in front of homes every weekend in a neighborhood like yours, cannot be corrected by your City Council. Instead, any adjustments to the policy have to go to another expensive election. My foremost responsibility as your council member is to ensure public safety. Their Initiative process preempts your elected representatives from doing their job. As a steward of your public safety, whether we adopt their “our way or the highway” policy, or go to a Special Election and lose, in either case your City Council will not be able to assure the public health, safety and wellbeing of the community. Our hands will be tied. Furthermore, our budget must continue to be managed by your council members, not forced into unnecessary expenditures by a well-funded minority faction who want See GAME, page 19 LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion The price tag for the special election is on the sponsors of the Party Policy Initiative Last week, Solana Beach residents received an expensive mailer with a photo of the Fletcher Cove Community Center and the caption, “Who wants a costly special election?” Also, a mass email went out, directing residents to a “No Special Election” website. Solana Beach residents should know that the “Say No” to the Special Election email and mailer/postcards are from the very people who asked for a special election to determine the use of the Fletcher Cove Community Center — the sponsors of the new Party Policy Initiative. This group is a well-funded, politically savvy machine pushing for bigger, more frequent parties at the Community Center with unlimited alcohol and not enough parking. After refusing to accept the City Council’s reasonable policy allowing private parties at the Community Center, this group filed an Initiative asking for a special election. They gathered signatures for an election, filed the signatures with the Registrar of Voters in order to get a special election and now are using trickery to strong-arm the City into adopting the Initiative without an election. The biggest problem with the Party Policy Initiative? Their Initiative, whether voted in or adopted by the City Council, cannot ever be modified without another costly election, even if there are problems. The City Council’s current policy can be modified up or down, depending on the outcome of the trial period. Isn’t that a better way to set a policy? Regardless of how the City Council decides to move forward, the $250,000 price tag for the special election is on the sponsors of the Party Policy Initiative. Their highly paid political consultants cannot re-write history. Kelly Harless Solana Beach

‘Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center’ responsible for costly election

Residents of Solana Beach received a postcard and email this past week from the so called “Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center” organization. The postcard urges residents to tell the City Council not to spend $200,000 on a special election regarding the use of the Fletcher Cove Community Center. The truth of the matter is that this small group refused to accept the reasonable policy that City Council established in August and insisted on letting the “voters decide.” This group collected petition signatures (using paid representatives) and turned in their signatures to the Registrar of Voters deliberately triggering a special election. Now they are trying to fool residents into thinking they had nothing to do with it. Their actions are forcing the City Council into a tough position...either reverse the Council’s position and accept their liberal party policy initiative for the Fletcher Cove Community Center or let the voters decide at a special election. If the City Council chooses to adopt their party policy initiative and problems arise, the Council has no authority to revise the policy. The postcard mailer was very misleading. However, Solana Beach voters are a sophisticated group and will see through this trickery. The “Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center” organization have only themselves to blame for a costly $200,000 special election. Richard Jacobs Solana Beach

How about easing the burden of a parking ticket in Del Mar? Del Mar has the most restrictive parking facilities of any city in San Diego County. How about easing the burden of a parking ticket? Perhaps a note to accompany the parking ticket, i.e.: “Sorry about the ticket, but Del Mar, as the smallest city in San Diego County, has unusual municipal expenditures, i.e. beach maintenance, lifeguards, landscaping, etc. Perhaps we can minimize the economic impact of your ticket. We are enclosing some coupons for local restaurants as well as a brochure about Del Mar. Please come visit us again.” Just a thought... Michael Kaplan Del Mar

GAME

continued from page 18 their way. So where does this leave us? The Council will make a decision between the following options by mid-November: 1. Go to an expensive Special Election in February with the public voting for or against their “our way or the highway” Initiative; 2. Go to an expensive Special Election in February with the public voting on their “our way or the highway” Initiative AND competing measure(s) submitted by the community or the council; 3. Adopt their “our way or the highway” Initiative language and simultaneously call for a regularly scheduled election in June ($20,000) with the public voting on a community — or council — authored measure on the use policy at the FCCC. As I said, I’ve been in favor of limited private parties with beer and wine at the FCCC since this conversation began a couple years ago. I still am, but not without the ability of the Council to correct problems if they arise. Don’t be fooled by these people! They are banking on the fact that you are busy living your life and not paying close attention to city issues. Given you took the time to read this editorial, I know you care about our little town and are probably paying more attention than most. After reading the above, I’d like to know what your thoughts are. #1, #2 or #3 above? Email: lheebner@cosb.org

Oppose ‘the fracking of California’ A majority of Californians support a moratorium on the process of oil and gas extraction by fracking, but Governor Brown has now signed SB 4, which paves the way for the full-scale fracking of our coastline, farmlands and even our urban neighborhoods. This is not a risk Californians want to take. Here in San Diego we are well aware of the instability of our coastline and the risk of earthquakes and tsunamis we already live with every day. We need Governor Brown to preserve the moratorium until the short- and longterm impact of fracking here are more thoroughly studied and the potential for harm better understood. The fracking of California is not a genie we will be able to put back in the bottle, once she is let out. Please join me in asking Gov. Brown and our state assembly to maintain the moratorium, while we still can. Kim Perl Carmel Valley

Understand the facts before voting on a policy that can’t be changed I find it very concerning that residents of Solana Beach received a brochure in the mail asking them to urge City Council not to hold a special election which would cost the City of Solana Beach $200,000. The brochure claims that the Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center are opposed to the election. The problem is this: Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center is the group that circulated petitions and forced the special election to take place. They need the special election in order to pass a law which would allow nearly unlimited use of Fletcher Cove Community Center for private parties, including alcohol use (the only exception to a city-wide mandate against alcohol use on city property), amplified music, all with no concern for the residents of Solana Beach with regards to beach access, parking, and the close proximity of a children’s playground. The City of Solana Beach already has a use policy in place for the community center. The current use policy can be changed if needed. Not so with the use policy that the Friends of Fletcher Cove is trying to push through with a special election. Theirs is a policy that can be changed only through another costly special election. In summary, Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center doesn’t like the use policy currently in place. They petitioned for a special election in order to get their policy on the ballot for residents of Solana Beach to vote on. The City Council can either adopt their ill thought policy outright, or hold the election that the group vigorously petitioned for. Of course Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center doesn’t want the election, they would rather their policy be adopted without question! If this goes to an election please, understand the facts before blindly voting in a policy that cannot be changed. Anna Levy

Let’s get the story straight The Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center sent out a flyer this week to Solana Beach residents with an attached postcard urging them to speak out against a special election. The phrasing of the flyer makes it appear that the card was sent from a coalition of nearby neighbors. The aim of the flyer is to put the blame on the Solana Beach City Council for causing a special election. In fact, it is the group who sent the flyer who are the ones responsible for the special election. They went ahead and submitted signatures for validation after the Council had come up with a compromise policy. If they were genuinely interested in serving the best interest of all Solana Beach residents then they would have stopped the initiative process and allowed the council’s policy to go forward with the possibility of amendments in the future, as needed. Instead they have put City Council in a bind, practically forcing them to accept an initiative that cannot be changed except by a special election. Betsy Walcott Solana Beach

Del Mar Rotary Club’s Chili & Quakers Challenge to be held Oct. 19 The Rotary Club of Del Mar’s annual Chili & Quakers Challenge will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 12-3 p.m. at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar. The club is hoping to raise over $20,000 for local and international charitable efforts. For attendees, the event promises fun for everyone with the opportunity to sample a variety of chili made by Del Mar restaurants, residents, charities, and even our local fire-firefighters as they compete to create the best chili in the cook-off. From Foxy Turkey Chili to vegetarian delights to buffalo meat concoctions, you’ll have the chance to vote for your favorite recipe. And there is no fee to come have a good time, soak up the sun and participate in family activities like face painting donated by Pinky’s Big Top Circus and wild hair designs by Vickie Lavanty Hair Salon and plenty of games for the kids. For the adults, a beer and wine garden will be roped off for sipping and socializing along the beautiful Del Mar coastline. The highlight of the day will be the Ducky Derby when over 2,000 rubber ducks will ride the waves and be corralled ashore by the Del Mar Lifeguards. Each duck is numbered and corresponds to a ticket you may purchase to win. Buy as many ducks as you like. The first “quackers” to swim to shore will win prizes for their owners. Cash prizes of $1,000 and $500 go to the first and second place ducks, and $100 for third to seventh. Buy a duck or cheer one on to shore.

Community holds candlelight vigil in honor of comatose Carmel Valley skateboarder

Last year’s conference. Courtesy photo

San Diego Grantmakers Annual Conference set for Oct. 30 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Dozens of philanthropists will gather to learn how they can better their community during the San Diego Grantmakers Annual Conference on Oct. 30 at the new San Diego Central Library. This year’s conference theme, “Building Philanthropy: Reaching New Heights,” focuses on teaching grantmakers how to increase the impact of their giving. “It’s about pushing your philanthropy to be as effective as possible so you can make as strong an impact in your giving area as possible,” said Del Mar resident Nancy Jamison, executive director of San Diego Grantmakers, a membership association for philanthropic organizations like foundations and corporate giving programs. Founded in 1976 and established as a nonprofit in 1999, San Diego Grantmakers aims to connect and educate philanthropists through conferences, workshops, quarterly newsletters and other communications. The Annual Conference is the organization’s biggest event of the year, attracting roughly 150 attendees, Jamison said. Grant Oliphant, president and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation, will open the conference and Akaya Windwood, president of Rockwood Leadership Institute, will close the conference. Attendees can choose from one of six breakout sessions in the morning, covering a variety of topics from civic engagement to structural racism. Attendees will then listen to a series of quick, intimate presentations called PhilChats,” which is inspired by the popular TEDTalks series. “There’s a tremendous amount of energy and a tremendous opportunity for learning from both the speakers and from each other,” Jamison said. “It’s good for San Diego because the more effective the philanthropists are and the philanthropic organizations are, the more effective their giving to nonprofits is.” The conference takes place 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Central Library in downtown San Diego. Registration costs $175 for members of San Diego Grantmakers and $200 for non-members. Space is limited. “It’s a really cool day in a venue that is an exciting new structure in San Diego,” Jamison said. “More than See CONFERENCE, page B26

•E vent also held to raise awareness about helmet safety. BY KRISTINA HOUCK With his parents by his side, Carmel Valley teenager Alex Hargis is in a coma at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. The 13-year-old fell while skateboarding just a few weeks ago. He wasn’t wearing a helmet. Dozens of family, friends and community members gathered to pray for Alex and raise awareness about helmet safety during a candlelight vigil held Oct. 2 at a park across the street from Pacific Sports Resort in Carmel Valley. “We want all these kids here to know how fragile time is,” said Lenita Maljan, Alex’s step-grandmother. “Your life can change in an instant.” Alex, an eighth grader at Carmel Valley Middle School, was skateboarding in front of his house on Sept. 19 when he fell and hit the back right side of his head, the same spot where we was injured as an infant and had multiple surgeries. He was knocked unconscious and suffered a seizure, which caused him to repeatedly hit his head on the street. A CT scan showed Alex

suffered a fractured skull and brain damage. Doctors placed him in a medically induced coma to minimize swelling. The neurosurgeon who performed surgery on Alex as an infant was among the doctors who reviewed his scan. Alex always wore a helmet, said his uncle, Todd Colburn. Recently, however, he began complaining about wearing safety gear. “When kids get older, they think wearing a helmet isn’t cool,” said Colburn, who noted doctors said Alex would have suffered minor injuries or no injuries at all if he had been wearing a helmet. “There’s peer pressure not to wear helmets.” Colburn, who has three sons of his own, said he and his family plan to reach out to skateboard manufacturers to ask them to encourage pro skaters to set an example and wear safety gear. “It’s almost like a badge

‘Tallest Tree’ at La Jolla Playhouse pays homage to the great Paul Robeson

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER The La Jolla Playhouse has a solid reputation developing plays with outstanding theatrical artists. That tradition continues when Moisés Kaufman returns to the Playhouse to direct the world premiere of “The Tallest Tree In The Forest,” opening Oct. 10. Daniel Beaty (“Emergency,” “Through the Night”) has written the new play with music, and he will perform his work, which centers on the internationally-renowned vocalist and star of stage and screen, Paul Robeson. Robeson became one of the best-known AfricanAmerican artists in the world in the early 20th century. “The Tallest Tree” features excerpts from several of his signature songs, including “Ol’ Man River” and “Steal Away.” Robeson won an academic scholarship to Rutgers University in 1915. He became a football AllAmerican and the class valedictorian. After graduation, he went to the New York University School of Law, and for a short time

worked as a lawyer before becoming an entertainer. He began singing and performing in productions in America and Great Britain. He was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Robeson eventually set aside his entertainment venues and became politically active, especially during WW II. He affiliated with several different causes and met with presidents

In just four short years he garnered 10 major awards including: 2011 Lucille Lortel; Drama Desk; Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for the Broadway run of his acclaimed solo play, “Through the Night”; 2010 NAACP Theater Award – Best Solo Show; 2010 Ovation Award – Best Lead Male Actor in a Drama; 2008 Edgerton Foundation’s New American Play Award; 2007 Obie Award for Writing & Performance; and 2007 Scotsman Fringe First Award for the best new writer at the Edinburgh Festival.

Kaufman is the Artistic Director of Tectonic Theater Project and a Guggenheim Fellow in Playwriting. Tectonic is a producing partner along in Kansas City Rep of “The Tallest Tree In The Forest.”

Paul Leroy Robeson was an African-American singer and actor who became involved with the Civil Rights Movement. Born: April 9, 1898, Princeton, N.J. Died: Jan. 23, 1976, Philadelphia, Penn. Of the artists involved in the production, Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley said, “In Paul Robeson, an iconic figure who was as galvanizing as he was polarizing, Daniel has found the perfect subject to inhabit; and I can’t think of a better director than Playhouse favorite Moisés Kaufman to helm this probing piece about the power and responsibility of a great artist.”

Dining at Masuo’s is good for the heart and soul BY KELLEY CARLSON asuo Sato’s career path has taken him from schussing to sushi. Once an Olympic hopeful in skiing, Sato now serves as head chef at a restaurant that bears his name, which he owns with his wife, former model/athlete Linda Karecki. Like her husband, Karecki also aspired to compete in The Games, as a heptathlete. The sports-oriented couple keep healthy lifestyles in mind at their bright-red establishment on Highway 101 in Solana Beach, just down the street from Fletcher Cove. “We believe there is a real emerging trend in California around combining two loved ‘foodie’ passions, healthy/light eating and ethnic foods with a creative twist,” said Karecki, who has posed for publications such as Runner’s World and Muscle & Fitness. “We encourage our patrons to eat lunch and dinner with another culture and fall in love with it, right here by the beach, especially if they are coming back from a long bike ride, run or swim out of Fletcher Cove. Our sushi is fresh and our produce of the highest quality — perfect for individuals who are in training and want to eat healthy and have sustainable energy via protein and rice.” The atmosphere is friendly, yet relaxing, enhanced by servers who are hired for their outgoing, cheerful, yet laid-back personalities and are willing to connect with customers and ensure their comfort, Sato said. Patrons can delight in sipping on sake

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.

■ This week’s recipe:

Masuo’s Sushi Roll while observing chefs slicing and dicing raw fish and vegetables from seats at the counter. The contemporary atmosphere is embellished with paintings by area artists Gerrit Greve and Grant Pecoff, while upbeat music plays in the background. For private parties or perhaps a bit of romance at sunset, guests can head to the back patio with umbrellas, chairs, couches and tables for an ocean view. Wherever they sit, Masuo’s patrons are treated to Japanese and California-style sushi and Pan-Asian cuisine. Sato, whose parents were sushi chefs and restaurant owners in Osaka, Japan, has more than 30 years of experience working with the delicacies. He obtains fresh seafood daily from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego fish markets, and assembles them into numerous types of rolls, entrees and appetizers.

Patrons may consider whetting their appetites with spicy Stuffed Jalapeños filled with a variety of fish. Next should be a variety of rolls, such as the Salmon Egg/Ikura topped with quail egg, the latter which nullifies the saltiness of the roe; the S.S. Roll, a combination of shrimp tempura, krab and cucumber with hamachi, salmon, sliced lemon and ponzu sauce; or the Monkey Stick cooked tempura-style and filled with spicy tuna krab and avocado. If it’s within the first few hours of the restaurant’s opening, customers can try asking for the hara (aka belly of the fish) which is buttery and practically melts in one’s mouth, but it does sell out quickly. Another item that can be requested is the Japanese French Fries — calamari strips lightly fried in garlic and ponzu sauce. To wrap things up, go for the Caterpillar Roll with a filling of eel, krab and cucumber topped with avocado and drizzled with a sweet sauce. Non-sushi fans can select from dishes like Filet Mignon, Chicken Teriyaki, Alaskan Halibut, Udon Soup and Seaweed Salad. If none of the menu items are quite to one’s tastes, they are welcome to customize their orders, from the levels of spiciness to the ingredients. And if the owners are impressed with the combination, they may add it to the menu and name it after its creator. Patrons can also request “bouncy” ikura that’s infused with sake, if it’s done 24 hours in advance.

Polo Bay Interiors expands to open Polo Bay Consignments in Solana Beach BY DIANE Y. WELCH Tucked away in the Village on Cedros Avenue is the showroom of Polo Bay Consignments. The space, recently vacated by Re-Gallery — where artwork made from recycled materials was exhibited — now showcases furnishings and home accessories, gently used and of high-end designer quality, artfully displayed in eye-catching vignettes in a boutique setting. The vacancy was an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up by Mary Kellejian, ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and her partner and daughter, Kelli Kellejian Barrett, Allied ASID, who saw the potential in the former gallery as a showroom that could expand on Kellejian’s current interior design company, Polo Bay Interiors, just steps away. An expansion of her business into consignment came to mind immediately, said Kellejian. “Kelli and I had always talked about consignment, we’ve always consignment shopped, so we were on the same page and, of course, we got Joe into it, too.” Joe Kellejian is the former Mayor of Solana Beach City and is Mary’s husband and Kelli’s father. An official ribbon cutting for the grand opening of the showroom was held by the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Sept 26. Kellejian, past president of ASID, has been a chamber member since she moved her interior design business to Cedros Ave. just over two years ago after being located in Del Mar for 25 years. Joining in partnership with her daughter was a natural fit. While Kelli was in design school she worked with her mother as an assistant but then branched out onto her own career path, which included working for a model home company in Orange County. She then represented a window covering firm and, in 2010, was hired by Sterling Interiors in Sorrento Mesa as a full-service designer. “Then my mom called me and said, ‘I want you to come back!’” chuckled Kelli who, with 15 years in the design industry, remains a part-time consultant for Sterling Interiors. However, she plans to segue into full-time partnership with her mother as the business takes off. Which, from the amount of foot traffic and number of daily inquiries, won’t be long, they both agree. The merchandising of the showroom reflects an artistry

Joe Kellejian, Mary Kellejian, Kelli Kellejian Barrett. Photo/Diane Welch that creates an airy coastal feel that mixes and matches textures, colors and the scale of items so that each is visible. “I don’t want to take someone’s furniture and then hide it in a corner where people don’t even know it’s there,” said Kellejian. “We truly want to showcase these items.” The main comments that they have been receiving from walk-in customers are “It is so cute in here” and “Your prices are excellent,” Kellejian said. Prices are set fairly so that items do not sit for too long in the showroom. After a month without selling the price is reduced 10 percent, the next month another 10 percent, and by the third month the consignor has the option to pick up the item, have it marked down another 10 percent or donate the item. Polo Bay Consignments plans to donate these unsold and unwanted pieces to the Wounded Warrior charity to help support wounded veterans. Because the display space is limited, turn around of merchandise is swift. “We advise customers not to think too

long about an item because chances are it will have been snapped up when they return,” said Kellejian. And if a consignor has a large scale item it is recommended they send in photographs that are then placed in a binder which may be shared with clients. “In this regard we serve as matchmakers too,” said Kelli. Having long-term relationships with many of their customers, both Kelli and Mary Kellejian know in an instant if a piece of furniture, a light fixture or an accessory is exactly what a client may be searching for. “We are happy to go that extra step,” said Kelli, “to let people know that we are thinking about them.” And with excellent pricing it comes with significant savings for the client she said. Showroom hours are Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. –5 p.m., with extended hours during the Holiday period.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Semper Solaris brings sustainable energy to San Diego BY KRISTINA HOUCK Because San Diego Gas and Electric raised rates for its high-energy users, many San Diego County households and most businesses had a bigger energy bill in September. To avoid the rate hike, Daniel Jackson had 18 solar panels installed on his 2,500-square-foot Carmel Valley home in April. “We all know electric is just going up and up,” said Jackson, who lives with his wife, Tracy, and two children. “The rates went up again in September. Now every time I hear about an increase by SDG&E, it basically makes me richer.” After researching a number of local companies, Jackson chose Semper Solaris, whose leaders have more than 65 years of experience in the building and solar industry. The team at the Alpine-based company thoroughly explained solar and its benefits, Jackson said. “I just can’t stand sales people and I can’t stand that sleazy kind of feel that I get from a lot of sales guys,” said Jackson, who added he liked that the company uses highquality, American-made panels. “With Semper Solaris, they just presented the facts. I really liked their presentation. They were really straightforward.” Before Semper Solaris installed the Jacksons’ system, the family was billed roughly $150 each month. They no longer have a monthly electric bill, Jackson said. In fact, the panels produce more energy — about 100 kilowatts — than the family uses every month. When SDG&E announced its rate hikes, Semper Solaris received other inquiries from community members like Jackson, said Chief Operating Officer Kelly Shawhan, who co-owns the company with CEO John Almond. “When SDG&E sent everyone an email telling them what was going to happen, that’s when our phones just exploded,” said Shawhan, who lives in Vista. “People wanted to get solar before it happened. And now that they’re seeing

“We’ve got our own Marine Corps going over here,” said Shawhan as he laughed. “I can’t get them to do pushups, but they do a great job installing solar. “I enjoy watching people’s faces and having customers call me when they see their first electric bill,” Shawhan added. “People realize that they made a great choice and a good investment.” For more information about Semper Solaris, visit sempersolaris.com.

The company offers a free energy analysis to prospective customers, as well as discounts to the military, police and firefighting communities. The military connection is personal. Almond’s father was a career officer and pilot, and Shawhan is a former U.S. Marine Corps captain. Shawhan said he is proud Semper Solaris uses American products and employs military veterans. All of the company’s field supervisors are former military personnel.

Holiday event with Ann Romney to raise money for breast cancer and vision research BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a three-time breast cancer survivor and mother of a son with a vision disorder, Vivian Hardage is passionate about medical research. Headed by Hardage, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, the Vision of Children Foundation is hosting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vision of Success,â&#x20AC;? a holiday high tea on Dec. 9 at The Grand Del Mar. The event will raise funds to support breast cancer and vision research. Ann Romney, a breast cancer survivor and health advocate, will speak about the critical need for medical research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like because of my passion for vision research, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a breast cancer fundraiser without doing one for vision, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do one for vision without feeling like I needed to do something for breast cancer,â&#x20AC;? Hardage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all under the umbrella of the importance of medical research. Without medical research, there would be no cure for any disease, and there are so many things out there that are devastating for families like mine.â&#x20AC;? After they learned their son had ocular albinism, a genetic vision disorder, Hardage and her husband established the Vision of Children Foundation, which aims to cure hereditary childhood blindness and vision disorders, and to improve the quality of life of visually impaired individuals and their families. Although Hardage remains focused on finding a cure for vision disorders, she is now also passionate about finding a cure for breast cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994 and later diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer, in 2010. After multiple surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, the cancer returned. October marks 11 months that Hardage has been in remission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who has been through breast cancer shares a great concern for curing the disease,â&#x20AC;? said Hardage, whose son, Chase, is now a 24-year-old college graduate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had it, it really never totally leaves the back of your mind.â&#x20AC;? Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the National Cancer Institute, experts estimate that about one out of every eight women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some time during her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to me that women learn there are many different types of breast cancer,â&#x20AC;? Hardage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They

Ann Romney need to learn what resources are available here in our community.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech, the holiday event will feature a live auction, opportunity drawing and informal modeling. Funds raised at the event will benefit the Vision of Children Foundation and the American Cancer Society to support local breast cancer and vision research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of scientists and researchers here working on this problem right now,â&#x20AC;? Hardage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was important for us that the money raised here stays here because we do have such great resources already working on potential cures.â&#x20AC;? Vision of Success begins at 2 p.m. on Dec. 9 at The Grand Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballroom.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Local mom heads growing full-service microbiology laboratory BY KRISTINA HOUCK Kim Lim saw the need for a company in San Diego that offered a variety of laboratory services. Although she was a new single parent and the country was in the midst of a recession, the Carmel Valley woman decided to fill that need by founding Ultimate Labs in 2008. The full-service microbiology laboratory provides environmental monitoring, microbial water and food testing to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and food industries. “It was extremely difficult,” said founder and CEO Lim, who has lived in the community for about 15 years. “There wasn’t a lot of funding or outside help with the banking industry, so we really bootstrapped it. It’s really my own personal investment.” Ultimate Labs opened its doors with four employees and 10 clients. It has since grown to nearly 20 staff members and more than 200 clients across the United States. The company, which was recently named one of the “Best Places to Work” by the San Diego Business Journal, offers the latest laboratory technology. In fact, it recently acquired the Vitek Mass Spec system to provide clients with the most rapid mass spectrometry method available to detect microbial pathogens in food and pharmaceutical production. Ultimate Labs is one of only two laboratories with the equipment, with the other on the East Coast. “We’re always striving to be more innovative and be problem solvers rather than just a testing service, so I think that is why we’ve grown so much,” Lim said. “We’re really looking for solutions for our clients as opposed to just doing cookie-cutter testing.” Before founding Ultimate Labs, Lim worked as an engi-

neering consultant in the biotech industry for more than a decade. Originally from Boston, she came to San Diego as a traveling consultant. Shortly after the birth of her son, Lim divorced. She once again became a consultant before she decided to launch her own business. She also adopted her second son. “I’ve always been interested in biotech, and I really wanted to help people,” said Lim, who received a bachelor’s in bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania, a master’s in operations management from Columbia University, and a master’s in education and teaching from the University of Phoenix. “I am also an engineer by nature. I like solving problems and I like fixing things. I just happened to marry the two things that I love the most together.” When she isn’t working, Lim enjoys spending time with her sons, 10-year-old Simon and 7-year-old Sam. She is also involved in Engineers Without Borders and owns Global Goodie, a nonprofit organization that sells baby clothes and donates the funds to orphanages around the world. Lim hopes to continue to grow her business and test for even more industries. “I enjoy that my job is constantly changing, and that I’m helping somebody somewhere get the medicine or the medical device they need,” Lim said. Ultimate Labs is located at 5940 Pacific Mesa Court, Suite 209, San Diego. For more information about Ultimate Labs, visit www.ultimatelabsinc.com.

New company delivers organic dinners to local communities BY KAREN BILLING Local new company uberfood is hoping to bring fresh organic, family-friendly dinners right to your door. The company serves dinners to the Carmel Valley, Del Mar and La Jolla communities on Wednesdays. Corporate catering is available seven days a week from Carlsbad to downtown San Diego. “We call it uberfood because we want it to be the very best food,” said Casey Knapp, uberfood’s “food captain.” “We’re very careful to choose the best ingredients possible.” Uberfood promises something for everyone, from children to busy professionals, people eating a Paleolithic diet to meat lovers. The one universal theme is that everything is locally sourced and organic and delivered fresh. Knapp is a big believer in the “afterglow” that occurs around the dinner table after the whole family has enjoyed a healthy meal. “Eating organic means more energy and overall happiness, at least that’s what I’ve found,” said Knapp, a fifth generation dairy farmer from upstate New York. Knapp moved to Del Mar in March after graduating from Cornell in 2012. His entrepreneurial parents’ family farm produces pastured poultry, beef, pork, free-range eggs and organic strawberries. “Growing up on a farm, I had access to super-healthy food that we raised ourselves and I saw the impact it had on my family and our customers,” Knapp said. He remembers people coming to his family’s farm for Thanksgiving turkeys (the animals were not raised in cages) and enjoying a pasture diet supplemented with organic grains and minerals. The customers would report it was the best-tasting turkey they had ever had, Knapp said. “That really stuck with me, to make it easy to get healthy, wholesome food,” Knapp said. “That is one of the most important things people can do for themselves,” Knapp said. Knapp moved to California to help start uberfood with co-founders Gen Furukawa and Lisa Barnhouse-Gal.

Barnhouse-Gal is a Birdrock mom of two active boys and a self-described “farm-to-fork vigilante.” She wanted to feed her family well but with her hectic schedule it was hard to find the time and the right ingredients. Her husband was eating too much fast food, her family was growing bored of having the same meals and she found her friends were having the same problem. She started uberfood as a way to save on the time and stress of going to a grocery store and prepping dinner. “We started uberfood to bridge the gap between highquality food and convenience like no other company has done before,” Barnhouse-Gal said. In starting uberfood she got Furukawa on her team, a New York native and Brown University graduate who received his MBA from Cornell and was on a mission to make tasty and healthy food readily available. Knapp happened to meet Furukawa on the day of his last final at Cornell and realized they shared the same mis-

sion. With uberfood, they aim for a really creative and inspired menu — they try never to repeat items. “We like to have sophisticated meals that are still relished by the picky eaters. It has to be enjoyable for the whole family,” Knapp said. Everything is made fresh daily in one of their two kitchens and delivered in their refrigerated vans. Meals include a full dinner entrée and three sides. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free meals are available and the seasonal menu changes weekly. A recent dinner menu included organic free range lemon rosemary chicken or almond encrusted fresh catch fish with sides of garlic jasmine rice, Suzie’s Farm vegetables and a farm garden salad with stone fruit and goat cheese. Upcoming dinner options feature Baja lobster risotto with truffle essence and mushrooms and butternut squash soup. Lunch options include sandwiches and salads like their popular chimichurri grilled chicken salad with avocado, quinoa, walnuts, organic greens, wild arugula and cherry tomatoes with a tarragon shallot vinaigrette. They have also partnered with a juice bar in Birdrock so people can opt to add Farm2Fork’s 100 percent organic juices to their orders. As they are still a start-up, it’s only Wednesday dinners for now and they have their limited delivery areas. As they build up their customer base and hear positive feedback, Knapp is encouraged that uberfood will continue to grow. “People are excited about the meals we’re delivering, which is really cool,” Knapp said. Meals must be ordered online 48 hours in advance and there is also an option to gift meals. To learn more or order, visit Uberfoodsd.com.

The Mystery of Color Therapy

Kim Miller, Debbie Hayward Jennifer Navarra, Hannah Kurtin

Kitt and Kyle Hodges

It may well be that the great mystery in life is ourselves and the path to becoming whole and centered in our deeper self is our true purpose. As we reveal this mystery it moves us toward expressing our true being in the world without the confines of self-interest but in the context of ourselves and community. To communicate to this higher nature requires a language. The universal language through which nature speaks is color. Color is the multifaceted visual component of light. Living beings take in and give out light. Sages and teachers from all cultures reference a human radiance that each of us possess. To those with extraordinary visual acuity this radiance is seen as a field of colors. The most common name in our Western world for this color field that surrounds the physical body is our aura. In Greek, the description of the field of electrical or magnetic energies surround the periphery of the body is soma, the living energies. How far back in civilizations color has been used for healing is not clear but it has been well developed in these times in holistic health. One of the most advanced systems of color therapy is Aura-Soma. Aura-Soma uses a system of color selection of various formulations chosen by the person by visual appeal and correspondence. The formulations contain oils infused with light and color from plants, minerals and homeopathic substances that can be applied to the body to replete the aura, which in turn through a language of subconscious communication, allow ourselves to explore and accept new meaning to our experience. Through the help of a trained guide meaning can be connected to the bottle to help us understand more about these subtle energy realms.

Inquiring foodie readers want to know... The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN With a chill in the air as fall blows in more people start to cocoon themselves in their kitchens, inspired to whip up treasured family recipes from comfort casseroles to scratch-made pies. Not wanting to waste precious time and ingredients with gustatory experimentation or mishandling, while trying to please family members who have assorted dietary restrictions, your questions are now being answered. Q: What are the best apples for pies and cobblers? A: There are roughly 10,000 apple varieties around the world, yet not all of them are suitable for every use. While the crisp white-fleshed Pink Lady resists browning (oxidizing) when sliced, making it superb for salads and picky kids’ lunches, it’s a dud in pies and other baked treats as cooking zaps its flavor. Go for a heartier variety that maintains its apple essence with heat, like the sweet and tangy Fuji, the full-bodied Winesap, the crisp, sweet and sour Gravenstein, the popular Gala, and even the Granny Smith, although honey or brown sugar is needed to counteract its lippuckering tartness. As a rule of thumb, the best baking apples are firm-textured with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Q: Are cheeses suitable for vegetarian diets? A. A number of commercially processed cheeses contain animal rennet — an active enzyme added to milk to speed up coagulation and separate the curds from the whey. Rennet is extracted from the inner lining of the fourth stomach of newborn calves, lambs and goats before they are weaned. Rennet has also been manufactured through genetic “Frankenstein” engineering by tinkering with bovine DNA and inserting it into bacteria, fungi or yeasts.

For vegetarians and rennet-adverse diners, scope out cheeses produced from vegetable enzymes made from plant sources like fig, thistle, unfermented soybeans, safflower and dried caper leaves. Or choose nondairy alternatives such as tofu, rice or nut cheeses. My picks for dairy cheeses made from vegetable enzymes are Rumiano brand, some varieties of Organic Valley and Landmark. Q: How can I prevent mushrooms from spoiling so quickly? Mushrooms are best stored in a paper bag rather than plastic, as the latter retains moisture, causing them to decay faster. Mushrooms must be handled with TLC, cleaned with a brush to remove sand and grit from the ridges and pits, never using water that will tamper with the flavor of the fungus. Q: What’s all the hype about kosher salt? Kosher salt is so named for its ideal use in koshering meats according to kashrut traditions of draining out blood from animals. Top chefs are enamored with kosher salt that is typically pristine without any additives including iodine, giving it a pure salty taste. It is also a larger grain with a flat, platelet shape endowing it with a bigger surface area, making it easier to grip in the fingers and control the quantity when flavoring dishes. While kosher salt is superb for lining the rims of margarita glasses, sprinkling on homemade pretzels and grilled veggies, it is not suitable for baking as it doesn’t dissolve readily. Q: Why are my cookies raw in the middle yet burnt around the edges? To bake cookies like Baby Bear’s porridge — just right — use a light-colored cookie sheet rather than a black one, and line with parchment paper. In addition, place the cookie sheet on the upper oven rack, or if baking two sheets simultaneously, use different racks with sheets placed at different angles allowing even heat circulation, switching at halftime. Once the edges start to brown, lower the temperature 25 degrees so the middle will bake thoroughly, while putting the skids on burning edges.

Chewy Chocolate Chunk pecan cookies Chewy Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies (Adapted from the Neiman Marcus Signature Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe) 1/2 cup (1 stick) sweet butter, softened 1 cup light brown sugar 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate baking chunks 1 cup toasted pecans or walnuts, chopped Method: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cream butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add egg and extracts and beat for another 30 seconds. In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients, and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in espresso powder, nuts and chocolate chunks. Using a one-ounce scoop, drop cookie dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread into a 2-inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie. For additional fool-proof recipes, email kitchenshrink@ san.rr.com.

VIGIL continued from page B1 er, who thanked family, friends and community members for their support. “We believe that Alex’s incident must have happened for a reason,” read Colburn. “Our hope and comfort is that things will change in regard to helmet safety and awareness. There

are so many kids and teenagers in our community that do not wear helmets when they ride their skateboards, bikes and scooters. “I think he thought that wearing one wasn’t cool,” said Colburn, as he continued reading the letter. “After all, none of the pro skateboarders he saw in magazines and videos wore them. But the reality of the situation is watching your

child fight for their life in ICU and attached to life support equipment is really not very cool. Our deepest hope is that others will hear about Alex’s story, learn from his horrible accident and choose to always wear their helmets.” For more information about Alex, visit http:// www.caringbridge.org/visit/ alexhargis.
