DM approves removal of rundown buildings on Shores property BY CLAIRE HARLIN The five attached dilapidated mobile buildings that once housed the Del Mar Union School District administrative offices will be removed — along with the termites they’ve been harboring — from the Del Mar Shores property next week. The effort, for which the Del Mar City Council on March 18 appropriated $20,000, follows requests by the neighboring Winston School, which will be on spring break during the removal, slated to begin on March 25. Hidden Valley Backhoe and Trucking, Inc. gave the city an estimate of $15,000 for the demolition and recycling of the building, as well as necessary sewer line capping, backfilling, patching and repairing on the site. The city added $5,000 to the approved project budget to cover unforeseen site conditions or additional needs. The city purchased the property in 2008 for use as a park, and has deemed the structure unusable and inconsistent with the goals for that land. The creation of a master plan for the Shores property is on the city’s to-do list, as conflicts between dog owners and Little League teams wishing to use the park have arisen over the past year, in addition to declined plans for a Del Mar Foundation donor recognition installation there.

and highlighting his priorities for the future, which include economic development, relief of traffic congestion and increased regional cooperation. Horn’s 45-minute speech was frequently interrupted by airplanes landing and taking off on the airport’s nearby runway, although the supervisor and

other speakers jokingly welcomed the noise because they said the air traffic generates revenue for local government coffers. About 200 people including elected and appointed officials from throughout Horn’s district attended the event. The venue — a corporate jet hanger belonging to Premier Jet —may have

Solana Beach residents to get trash bin labels BY CLAIRE HARLIN A simple suggestion from a community member to the City of Solana Beach to label each home’s waste bin with a list of what can and can’t go in the recycle bin has resulted in an involved effort between Mayor Mike Nichols and Waste Management to see that it happens. Adding to efforts that highlight the city as a pioneer in sustainability and “green” initiatives, the waste services company will within the next two weeks be adding labels to all residents’ waste carts and Nichols has also offered to be a pilot city for compost collection, as Waste Management currently doesn’t have an extensive program in place. Waste Management spokeswoman Lori Somers said the company is looking for viable locations to compost in the area, as well as partners that may present new energy opportunities. She said the company is doing very minimal composting of “green” waste, including unpainted, unstained wood, See TRASH Page 6

Family of Cathedral Catholic coach injured in crash BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 30-year-old Santee man suspected of drunken driving drove the wrong way on state Route 52 and caused a headon crash on March 17, killing himself and sending four people in the other vehicle to the hospital with major injuries, authorities said. The four people injured were the wife and three children of Cathedral Catholic High School head basketball coach Will Cunningham. Medics took Cunningham’s wife Alisa, a softball pitching coach, and their three children, Taylor, Jayden and Logan, to area hospitals — all with major injuries, according to a CHP officer. Matthew T.

Del Mar landscaping project comes under fire for lack of permit BY CLAIRE HARLIN With Councilman Don Mosier first moving to deny a permit that would save extensive landscaping built without a permit by new Del Mar homeowners Michael and Robin Khoury, the Del Mar City Council came to an agreement March 18 to continue the issue. The landscaping included a four-foot wall system and various planters. “These are not easy elements to modify … It’s a significant taking of public land for private use,” said Mosier, referring to the development’s encroachment into the public right-of-way. The planters installed at the home, located on La Amatista Road, extend within 3 feet of the public road, and the improvements enclose the yard, extending it 10 feet into the public-right-of way. Councilman Al Corti said he would like to see a continuance to allow the homeowner and adjacent neighbor Carolyn Butterfield — who said the wall “sticks out like a sore thumb” — to resolve issues, however, he thinks that had the project gone through proper design review procedures, both officials and neighbors would have had reservations about the design. Butterfield said that, although her neighbors are “great people,” she was not informed of the development, and the lower elevation of her yard exacerbates the height of the Khourys’ wall. The council expressed difficulty making a decision, based on the unfortunate situation of the Khourys, who claimed they didn’t know a permit was necessary and said other neighbors on the street had built without permits. They also said they wished to enclose their yard from the public street to project their children. “This is difficult because, first of all, they are wanting to improve and invest in the neighborhood, improve their residence and create a safe environment for their family,” said Mayor Terry Sinnott. “We, as a community, welcome these kind of people in the neighborhood … I love to see people try to make things better and that’s obviously what See PERMIT, page 19

Del Mar council discusses proposed $30,000 in-lieu parking fee BY CLAIRE HARLIN Based on construction costs and land values, the City of Del Mar has come up with $30,000 as a fair number to set for the in-lieu parking fee, which was established in 2008 to help fund the construction of a parking garage in the central commercial zone. The city staff came to the Del Mar City Council on March 18 for direction regarding the fee and how it’s collected from property owners as a way to waive their on-site parking requirements. While the council expressed support for the methodology the city used in coming up with that number, varying input from councilmembers suggested the city’s work at the drawing board is not done. The council was united, however, in its concern that the city’s businesses and parking situation are in major need of help. Under the ordinance, if the city reaches 50 new parking stalls, as added by businesses to meet their requirements if choosing not to pay the in-lieu fee, the city must implement a shuttle. While specific routes and operations will be established if and when the city reaches that point, the shuttle’s purpose is to ease patrons from walking long distances between parking spots and places of interest. When the fee was established in 2008, the amount was yet to be determined and the city has been working to come up with a number that will bring in enough money to meet its goals without disincentivizing owners’ participation. The city proposed $30,000 per stall because a new parking structure would cost upward of $35,000 per stall, and land values are also in line with that number, according to information gathered from around the state. The city would secure debt with a covenant or contract, and financing would look like See FEE, page 19

Del Mar repairing Ninth Street sinkhole, notifying NCTD of needed maintenance BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on March 18 authorized $30,000 for repairs after a bluff collapsed, possibly during a heavy March 8 rainstorm, causing a sizable sinkhole at the western-most end of Ninth Street and affecting railroad operations. The city plans to recoup costs from the North County Transit District (NCTD), which owns the land and is responsible for it, in addition to encouraging the regional entity to step up maintenance in order to avoid failures in the future. Del Mar Public Works Director Eric Minicilli said it’s uncertain whether the sinkhole was caused by erosion or a bluff failure, but when it was discovered on the morning of March 9, the city put in a temporary storm drain to secure the site. He said the city planned to begin permanent repairs on March 19, immediately after the funding approval. He added that some residents have approached the city in an effort to save the wall that stretches across the sinkhole, but he said it’s likely at least some of the wall will have to be removed.

Del Mar may sell Hidden Pines Road property BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on March 18 voted to hold a public protest hearing on May 20 regarding the city’s intention to sell a vacant, sloping parcel on Hidden Pines Road that was formerly used as a water pump site. The issue arose after an adjacent property owner approached city officials with a desire to buy the 3,170-square-foot plot. While neighbor and 24year resident Gary Burke called the sale unnecessary and contended that the property, which slopes 40 feet from north to south, provides a safe exit from his lot in the case of emergency, city officials leaned toward the sale, citing that the lot provides little use to the city. Councilman Don Mosier said developing the property would be an expensive undertaking due its steep grade. “The city’s not using it, and I can’t imagine it as a pocket park or anything that would serve the community,” he said.

Supervisor Dave Roberts creates committee to involve local communities in county grant award selection BY CLAIRE HARLIN A San Diego County grant program that allows each member of the Board of Supervisors to choose among grant applicants and allocate some $500,000 to nonprofits and government programs in their districts came under fire — often being referred to as a “slush fund” — during the heated District 3 election last fall. However, former Solana Beach City Counciman Dave Roberts supported the program throughout the election and, as the newly elected District 3 Supervisor, he has implemented major changes to the grant selection process in his district, as well as other sweeping changes aimed at bettering public trust through visibility and transparency. Funded by the Transient Occupant Taxes (TOT) collected from the unincorporated areas of the county, the County Community Enhancement Program provides about $2.5 million countywide to applicants showing need in areas from the arts, to education to local economic development. The sum is divided evenly among supervisors, who have usually awarded funds at their discretion, however, Roberts has called upon representatives from the five cities in his district to get involved by appointing community members to serve on a committee that will collaborate with him on the process. He is the only supervisor to implement this method. The Solana Beach City Council on March 13 voted unanimously to nominate resident Gerri Retman-Opper to serve on the committee (while also voting to devise a protocol for dealing with requests for mayoral appointments). Roberts said Escondido nominated philanthropist Cynthia Weir to serve on the committee. The mayors of Del Mar and Encinitas, as well as four San Diego City Councilmembers representing areas in District 3, will also be making appointments, and Roberts said the committee will have seven or eight members. “We want it to be a balanced group but we’re also trying to shoot for an odd number,” said Roberts, referring to an effort to prevent tied votes. The committee will be expected to watch the grant applicants’ presentations to the board on June 10 and 11, and on June 17 they will meet with Roberts to examine applications and make recommendations. “When I was on the Solana Beach City Council, I used to come in with my city grant recommendations and then when we sat down as a council I got to see other points of view,” said Roberts, adding that the collaboration was not only a good influence

on his decisions, but also strengthened the integrity of the council’s final decisions. “I thought this was one way we could strengthen [the Community Enhancement Program] and make it more transparent, so Dave Roberts people can see that a lot of thought goes into it.” The program in years past has supported such applicants as the Solana Beach Summer Concert Series, local chambers of commerce and social service groups like the Community Resource Center. Roberts has also put forth another initiative as he hopes to make the office of the supervisor more visible and accessible in communities. Kicking off on March 15, Roberts started a satellite office that will be open at the Del Mar Community Center, located at 225 9th St., on the third Friday of every month from 3 to 5 p.m. He is looking to also open offices in Escondido and Mira Mesa, as well as others possibly, so that members of those communities can meet with Roberts or one of his staff members without having to make the trek to downtown San Diego. This initiative is the first of its kind on the Board of Supervisors, which had not seen changeover in 18 years until Roberts took his seat. “I was fortunate enough to represent a district that really enjoyed their prior supervisor [Pam Slater-Price], so I wanted to build on the great work she did, especially now that boundaries of the district have changed,” said Roberts. “The district now includes all of Escondido, and they didn’t know her and don’t know me as well, so I want to be out in the district as much as possible.” For more information on recent legislation and initiatives or to sign up for Roberts’ newsletter, visit www.supervisordaveroberts. com.

DM intern project to assess plastic bag use in city

brought to the council’s attention by Councilman Don Mosier. Del Mar officials have expressed disinterest in a ban, citing possible detriment to local businesses.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN After discussing in detail and supporting last month a non-agendized recommendation to hire a summer intern to assess Del Mar businesses’ plastic bag usage, the Del Mar City Council on March 18 officially approved the initiative. At no cost to the city, the intern will gather data that the city can analyze to see if a plastic bag ban such as that implemented by Solana Beach last year would be beneficial. The measure was brought forth by the city’s Sustainability Advisory Board (SAB) and then

PLANNERS continued from page 1 The planning board has asked for explanations on how proposed synchronized traffic light solution will work; if there is enough parking during peak hours; average wait times at intersections; and how peak congestion is projected within the project. As the traffic study assumes the completion of the Interstate 5/SR-56 interchange and the I-5 widening, the planning board also wants clarification on how the traffic will be mitigated in the time before those projects are completed, as it could be many years before the projects are finished. The planning board has made a request to see a side-by-side comparison of the proposed project verses the currently adopted land use for the site (550,000 square feet of office space), as well as existing conditions. “We need to understand how this project changes the functionality and performance of the

roadway network as compared to making no changes to the existing conditions today,” the board’s letter states. “We need to understand how our community may change.” Prior to the meeting, elections for nine Carmel Valley planning board seats will be held at the Carmel Valley Library from 5-5:30 p.m. Seats up for election include Jonathan Tedesco for the Pacific Highlands Ranch district 12 seat; Brian Brady of Kilroy Realty for the business seat; Rick Newman for the Neighborhood 1 seat; Nancy Novak for the Neighborhood 3 seat; Chris Moore for the Neighborhood 6 seat; Laura Copic for the Neighborhood 10 seat; Rodney Hunt for the investor representative seat; and Allen Kashani for the developer representative seat. Neighborhood 5 is the only one of the eight seats up for election that is contested with candidates Debbie Lokanc and Elissa Krasenbaum vying for the spot.

Horn said he initiated a study of the runway expansion in 2011, and results are expected “any day.” That project would allow the airport to accommodate quieter jets as well as international commercial traffic, Horn said. The county is also working with California Pacific Airline to offer service to such destinations as Las Vegas and Mexico, he said. The past year has seen two changes at two top leadership positions, Horn noted: longtime Chief Administrative Officer (and former Rancho Santa Fe Association Manager) Walt Ekard retired, and was replaced by his chief deputy, Helen Robbins-Meyer. Also, Supervisor Pam Slater-Price stepped down after 20 years on the board and was succeeded by Supervisor Dave Roberts, a former Solana Beach City Councilman. Roberts attended the speech.

Carlsbad and Oceanside east to Borrego Springs. “I’m hoping Dave will become the second supervisor for North County. We haven’t had that,” Horn said, in apparent reference to Slater-Price. John Weil, who served as Slater-Price’s chief of staff and was retained by Roberts, said after the speech that he believed Horn was referring to his former boss’s decision not to help fund Prosperity on Purpose, a North County economic development effort that Horn initiated. SlaterPrice determined the initiative would not have directly benefitted her district, according to Weil. Horn spoke about POP, showing a map of North County the program has commissioned, which details land use designations, transportation facilities and other elements that he said would assist companies considering a North San Diego County location. “We want to promote North County as an economic destination for a lot of companies,” bringing high-skilled, high-wage jobs to the area, Horn said. One theme of Horn’s remarks was that North County, with nearly 1 million res-

idents, should be on a par with the city of San Diego when it comes to transportation funding decisions made by the San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, a regional planning agency overseen by elected officials from the county and San Diego County cities. “We need to all be on the same team,” Horn said. In recent years, Horn said, some $23 million has been spent on road projects in District 5, and another $26.5 million is expected from Transnet, a voter-approved sales tax for transportation. In addition, he said, $15 million will flow from Proposition 1B, a statewide transportation bond. He specifically mentioned traffic-relief projects along the State Route 78 corridor that are slated to receive funding. As he has in the past, Horn defended the county’s Neighborhood Reinvestment program, under which each supervisor controls $1 million per year which can be granted to nonprofit groups within his or her district. While critics have called the program a “slush fund” that allows supervi-

sors to curry political favor, Horn said his constituents should know that the money goes for good causes, such as $235,000 in grants to the Carlsbad Boys and Girls Club over the past 12 years. So far in the current fiscal year, which runs through June, Horn has disbursed nearly $400,000 in grants, ranging from $60,000 to the Mainly Mozart Festival to expand its North County presence, to a $100,000 grant for North County Solutions for Change, a nonprofit that assists homeless families. The grant will be used to help the group build an “aquaponics farming system” at a Vista location, according to county records. Another attendee was Sheriff’s Capt. Robert Haley, who recently took over as head of the Encinitas sheriff’s station, which serves Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas. “He’s incredibly supportive of us, he always has been in North County,” Haley said of Horn. “He’s very engaged which we’ve really appreciated.”

March 13, Somers outlined new items that can now be put in recycling bins that previously could not. These items include clean polystyrene (except packing peanuts) and cartons used for

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is hosting its second annual “Age 25 and Under Art Contest,” inviting young artists to submit an original piece for the chance to win $500 in art supplies and have their work displayed at a showcase event at the museum’s downtown location, 5-7 p.m. Thursday, May 16. The idea is to create a piece of art inspired by the human eye, aka the Greedy Organ, and submit it at www.feedyourgreedyorgan. com by Monday, April 22. A panel of judges will select 25 finalists. The public will be invited to vote for their favorites in person May 16 and on Facebook for several weeks leading up to the event. Afterward, all finalist entries will be displayed at Westfield Horton Plaza through August. Winners will be announced on Monday, May 20.

dent of Drug Discovery for Tropical Disease, a nonprofit start-up located in the Torrey Pines area of San Diego. Dr. Biamonte and his team of experienced and talented scientists are seeking to cure malaria with a single-dose pill while circumventing the drug-resistant problems that have emerged with the current medications. Such a pill would be more effective and more widely available than the current multi-pill and injectable regimens because of lower cost, greater patient acceptance, and longevity of the compound’s effectiveness. [Note: Such an effort could lead to success similar to the near eradication of polio supported by Rotary worldwide, with a 99 percent reduction in cases since 1985.] Malaria is a blood-borne disease carried by mosquitoes. It causes high fevers, death, and sometimes epileptic seizures in those fortunate enough to survive cerebral malaria. Malaria is particularly onerous and wide-spread for children under the age of 5 in Africa, South America, and Asia. Dr. Biamonte has had an illustrious ca-

TPHS students win 2013 San Diego High School Mock Trial competition Students from Torrey Pines High School bested 18 other San Diego County high school teams to win the seventh annual San Diego County High School Mock Trial Competition on March 2. The competition places public and private high school students in an actual courtroom setting where they assume the roles of lawyers and witnesses in a hypothetical case. As the competition winner, the Torrey Pines High School team advances to represent San Diego County in the California Mock Trial finals later this month. “We are proud to support this engaging program, and to provide students with firsthand experience and an understanding of the roles judges, lawyers, and juries play in maintaining our justice system,” said Marcella McLaughlin, SDCBA president. “The incredible focus and talent displayed by this year’s competitors is inspiring and San Diego is bound to have some dynamic new lawyers in the next few years!” This year’s competition, which took place on Feb. 26, 28, and March 2 at the San Diego Superior Court in downtown San Diego, centered on the fictitious criminal murder trial of People vs. Vega, a hit-and-run trial featuring a pretrial argument on the Fifth Amendment. As part of the program, SDCBA attorney volunteers served as coaches and scorers for the competition and United States District and Magistrate Judges, and San Diego County Judges and Commissioners presided over the trials. The program was co-chaired by Hon. Yvonne Campos and Hon. Linda Quinn (Ret.). U.S. Magistrate Judge David Bartick served as lead scorer for the competition. “It’s incredible to have courtrooms full of super achieving dedicated high school students, their teachers, parents, volunteer attorney coaches, and volunteer attorney scorers and local state and federal judges conducting mock trials and selecting San Diego County’s best team for the statewide competition,” said Judge Campos. “We all celebrate the rule of law, our democracy and our Anglo-American jurisprudence which we export to other countries struggling with inept justice systems. Whether or not these kids are tomorrow’s lawyers, at a minimum they are tomorrow’s citizen jurors and our community is better for it.” Mock Trials serve to promote a greater understanding of and appreciation for the rule of law, civics, court procedures and the American judicial system. The competition also offers students a real-life opportunity to challenge and improve basic life skills such as critical thinking, reading, public speaking and advocacy for ideas. The Mock Trial Competition program is organized by the San Diego County Bar Association (SDCBA) and San Diego Superior Court, together with the Constitutional Rights Foundation and the San Diego Office of Education. The program is funded in part by a grant from the San Diego Justice Foundation. The winning students from Torrey Pines High School competed against teams from Academy of Our Lady of Peace, Cathedral Catholic High School, Christian High School, Coronado High School, Crawford High School, Dehesa Charter School, Del Norte High

Girls Scouts holding sports equipment drive For their Girl Scout Silver Award project, Linette Pan and Ally Deremer are organizing a community sports equipment drive. They will be sending the equipment to impoverished nations though Sports Gift. Items they are collecting include any new or used balls, uniforms, and any other sports-related items. “We are both athletes who have played competitive soccer and competitive basketball, which is what inspired us to choose this project. Since children in other countries sometimes never even get to own a ball, we are trying to get sports equipment to more kids across the globe. Currently we are collecting equipment into the end of April.” Community members can drop off donations at drives being held on Saturday, March 23, and Saturday, March 30, from 9-10 a.m. and 4-5 p.m. (both dates) at Carmel Knolls Park. Directions: Go east on Del Mar Heights Road 2.5 miles (past Torrey Pine High School) to Carmel Canyon. Turn right onto Carmel Canyon, go to light at intersection of Carmel Knolls. Park is on north west corner of intersection. Turn right onto Carmel Knolls and park in lot on right. For more information or to donate at other times, email: sportsdrive4gs@gmail.com

‘Mother Paige’ brings progressive approach to spirituality in Del Mar BY CLAIRE HARLIN When the Rev. Paige Blair became ordained as a priest 20 years ago, she was one of few females to earn the designation during a time when many Episcopalian churches were still getting used to the 1976 decision to allow the ordination of women. Considering that and her young age at the time — 26 — as well as her extensive collegiate education in theology, which includes doctorate coursework at Harvard, it appeared the signs were all there that Blair would be one to buck the trend for years to come. In 2009, the progressive pioneer and Del Mar resident became the first female rector at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, located at 334 14th St., Del Mar. Not only did she turn heads nationwide when she was featured in People Magazine for making popular the “eU2charist” — a church service accompanied by U2 music in lieu of traditional hymns that caught on in churches across the U.S. — but she has also put a twist on traditions at the Del Mar church, such as her inclusion of a parish band that plays reggae beats and hymns fashioned after songs from the likes of John Coltrane and the Beatles. The church is also known for its thrift shop that’s been open since 1967 to fund outreach organizations, such as the Community Resource Center and the church’s Helping Hands Ministry, which assists those in need by providing sack lunches and other daily necessities four days a week at the Del Mar site. And while church communities are not of one mind on a number of issues, such as inclusion of same-sex couples, Blair likes to call her congregation a “big tent where there is room for everyone.” “We don’t have to agree on everything and sometimes things can get messy, but we love that vibrant space where there are challenges,” said Blair. “St. Peter’s is a church that loves to pray, but we also love to study. I’ve served in some churches that are all about prayer but don’t get their hands dirty, and some that love to get their hands dirty but find it too scary to open the Bible. Here, it’s a balance, a pretty holistic culture … We joke that you don’t have to leave your brain at the door.” She added that St. Peter’s is particularly diverse, and also has many parishioners who come from different religious backgrounds, such as Catholic or Presbyterian.

Blair with two young members of St. Peter’s on Easter Sunday last year. Courtesy photos “We’re everything from retired military to retired flower children, to retired educators, admirals, teachers, engineers and corporate executives,” she said. “It’s a holy hybrid.” A self-proclaimed Air Force brat, Blair was born in Riverside but lived in Colorado and Alaska most of her life before she attended Boston College. Her original career aspiration was to become a fighter pilot, however, being asthmatic kept her from that goal and she never thought she’d end up a spiritual leader until she said she had a literal “mountaintop experience” around the age of 20. Temporarily escaping a crisis that for years had been unfolding — her life-threatening battle with anorexia — Blair joined her father for a hike in Alaska. Weighing less than 100 pounds and standing 5 feet, 5 inches tall, Blair said her body had begun “eating itself alive.” “Even crossing the street hurt,” she said. “I had cut myself off from other people as they challenged my addiction, and I had cut myself off from the Devine.” But on that hike, Blair said she ventured off on her own path, and after those moments alone with nature, she came down the mountain ready to start healing.

“The church was the community in which I healed,” said Blair. “In coming to church I replaced and broke down the walls of isolation … It also challenged me and let me wrestle; It let me ask questions.” In the years during and following her recovery, Blair received her master’s in holy scripture from the Boston University School of Theology and continued with doctorate coursework at Harvard’s Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge before deciding to step into seminary and become ordained, first as a deacon and then as a pastor. “I show up on the scene as a young woman pastor and the conversation is already different,” she said of breaking into the clerical realm. Blair admits it’s been “a different world” having for 20 years been a rarity among her colleagues, and while disparities are decreasing, they are still present. Not only do men make up the majority of clergy, according to a 2012 Church Pension Group research report, but the number of clergy under 35 years of age has declined tremendously over the last 50 years, and now there are nearly twice as many clergy retirements as ordinations. And while there are only slightly more men recently ordained to priesthood than women (52 versus 48 percent), when it comes to being employed, only 38 percent of women have jobs in the church, while males make up 62 percent of the employed. Katrina Hunt, a volunteer serving as St. Peter’s publicity coordinator, said when Blair joined the church in 2009 after a stringent selection process, the congregation was excited. The process included polling church members, as well as holding a number of meetings to determine the needs and direction of the church. “Any parish who calls upon a young woman to be its rector is ready for a change,” she said. Blair added that some members of her former church community still wrestled with the idea of bringing in their first female rector just after the turn of the century. “Wrapping their heads around the name, ‘Mother Paige,’ was also interesting,” she said. “Some of the older folks in the congregation were like, ‘What should we call her?’ and it was weird for them because I was young enough to be their daughter but they were calling me ‘Mother.’ But people at that time had no hesitation with calling a 26-year-old man ‘Father.’” For more information, visit www.stpetersdelmar.net.

Local students score big in American Mathematics Contest Three students from Santa Fe Christian Schools have been listed on the Honor Roll by the Mathematics Association of America, scoring in the top 5 percent of the world on the AMC 12 test. The purpose of the AMC 12 is to identify those few students with truly exceptional mathematics talent. The outstanding performance of Santa Fe junior Kelly Hoffman and seniors Micah Lyle and Kade Shoemaker have earned them an invitation to take the American Invitational Mathematics Exam in March.

Former teacher combines passion for classics and writing in award-winning first novel ‘The Song of Achilles’ BY JOE TASH “The Iliad” is one of the oldest existing works of Western literature, dating back to the 8th century B.C. The epic poem written by Homer depicts battles and other events during the final days of the Trojan War, including a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. In her 2012 novel, “The Song of Achilles,” author Madeline Miller imagines a period earlier in Achilles’ life, when he befriends an exiled prince named Patroclus, a minor character in “The Iliad.” (Achilles may be most famous for the story about his heel, which Miller explained was not in either the “The Iliad” or its sequel, “The Odyssey,” but instead was penned by a Roman writer who came after Homer.) The book was published by Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. Miller, who taught Latin and Greek to high school students in Cambridge, Mass., before embarking on a year of travel to promote her book, was the featured speaker at the Feb. 21 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe

Chapter leader Gayle Allen of Northern Trust, author Madeline Miller, John Ippolito of Northern Trust. Photo/McKenzie Images Literary Society at the Grand Del Mar Resort. Miller, 34, said in an interview she was fascinated by a mystery in “The Iliad’ — that Achilles, a celebrated warrior, part god and part man, is devastated by the death of his friend Patroclus. So she set out to construct a tale about how the two became friends during their boyhood, in a style she called “mythological realism,” because it contains elements of both historical fact and Greek mythology. For example, she populates the story with gods and goddesses, such as Thetis, a sea nymph who is also Achilles’ mother. “I wanted to do the behind the scenes of Homer’s stories and Homer’s characters. It’s more of a literary adaptation, not a historical re-creation,” Miller said. Along with her classroom duties, Miller also directed her students in Shakespeare plays. She credited one production, “Troilus and Cressida,” which is the Bard’s take on “The Iliad,” with sparking her interest in writing the novel, her first. Miller took 10 years to write the book, which she joked was the length of the Trojan War, at one point discarding what she had written and beginning from scratch.

The book details how Patroclus is a disappointment to his father, a king, because of his small stature and inability to compete with other boys in physical contests such as foot races. Soon after, Patroclus is exiled when he accidentally kills the son of a nobleman by shoving him backward when the larger boy was bullying him and trying to take away some hand-carved ivory dice. Sent away to live in the palace of Achilles’ father, Patroclus encounters the young warrior: “(Achilles) was lying on his back on a wide, pillowed bench, balancing a lyre on his stomach. Idly, he plucked at it. He did not hear me enter, or he did not choose to look. This is how I first began to understand my place here. Until this moment I had been a prince, expected and announced. Now I was negligible.” Eventually, the two young men become close friends, confidantes and lovers. Among the themes of the book, she said, are Achilles’ struggles between his human and divine sides, and also a choice he is given: to live a long, normal life, or to die young and be famous forever. Miller grew up in Philadelphia where her mother helped her develop a love of classic literature at an early age. Miller earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Latin and Ancient Greek from Brown University. Her last year has been hectic, she said, including her winning the Orange Prize, a U.K. award for female novelists, and travel throughout the U.S. and abroad. Among her stops have been literary festivals in Jaipur and Mumbai, India, and a literary event in the Netherlands. She’s also lectured at U.S. universities. She hopes to return to the classroom in the future, and combine her passions for teaching and writing. She is working on a new book based on “The Odyssey,” a sequel of sorts to “The Song of Achilles.” Miller said one of her challenges is to be her own toughest literary critic, but not so tough that she becomes discouraged. “Just ruthless enough,” she said.

Girl Scout/TPHS student works to earn highest honor: Gold Award Editor’s Note: Defne Yilmaz is a senior at Torrey Pines High School and currently a Girl Scout in Troop 1129. Defne is in the final stages of receiving her Girl Scout Gold Award. She has been running a piano concert series monthly since October, with the members of the piano studio where she has been playing for over 10 years. They perform concerts at “Emeritus at Carmel Valley,” a senior assisted living home. Defne describes her experience below.

BY DEFNE YILMAZ, Torrey Pines High School, Senior, Class of 2013 I used to play piano for my ailing grandfather, in particular the music of Chopin. The healing power of music is often metaphorical, but my grandfather literally seemed to get better simply by listening to Chopin. After my grandfather passed, I felt compelled to share music with others. I decided I would start a piano concert series at a local retirement home, performed by myself and other students from my piano studio, to be linked to my Girl Scout Gold

Award, the highest award received by a Girl Scout for her extensive community service. I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten and a member of Troop 1129, led by Ms. Tracy Burgett, since third grade. After a slew of phone calls, emails and meetings, my simple plan became a complicated reality. I gained the support from Carol Pisnieski, activities director at Emeritus in Carmel Valley, a local retirement home around the corner from my high school, along with my piano teacher, Ayse Underhill, who has served as my project advisor. Since October of 2012, I have gathered 12 students ranging from ages 5 to 55 almost every month from my piano studio to perform classical and contemporary pieces. Every Friday prior to the concerts, I offer help to any of the students who are looking to polish their pieces, or who need extra practice before the following day’s recital. The Gold Award project requires considerable leadership and organizational merit in at least 65 hours of preparation and execution and has thus far been a success.

Defne Yilmaz (left and center above) at “Emeritus at Carmel Valley.” Although we ask the audience to hold their applause until the end of the show, they usually ignore our request, clapping for minutes after each performer. When the concert is over, we get profuse and genuine thanks. For many residents, they have not heard live music in years. For me the impact of earning this award is two-fold: it reminds me how to transcend time and space to connect with

someone who is no longer with us, as well as the communal impact of my project under the legitimacy of the Girl Scout realm. After I leave to attend university next year, the project will be taken over by another one of the high school members at the studio. My hope is that the project will continue to serve the community for a long time.

Education Matters/Opinion Boardroom bondage: School districts wrestle with new regulations BY MARSHA SUTTON N e w rules and restrictions m a k e school district finance options for Marsha Sutton bonds seem more like bondage. Not the Shades of Grey bondage (naughty readers) but bond reform that tightens the ropes in four, not 50, ways. Assembly Bill 182, sponsored by state legislators Ben Hueso and Joan Buchanan, has garnered bipartisan support in Sacramento and would impose limitations on how school districts can structure their bonds. Operating within defined boundaries of appropriate conduct can be as foreign to school districts as Christian Grey’s concept of normal interpersonal relations. But many districts see the writing on the wall and are prepared to submit, so to speak, to the greater will of the people. At a “Debt Financing 101” seminar held March 12 hosted by San Diego County

Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister, San Diego County school district trustees and officials learned about the proposed regulations aimed at controlling “outrageous bond financing schemes that put unwarranted tax burdens on taxpayers,” as McAllister put it in a press release. The keynote speaker at the symposium was California state treasurer Bill Lockyer who delineated the four main provisions of AB-182, although he said some details are still under discussion: 1. A debt ratio of no more than 4 to 1, ensuring that the total cost cannot be more than four times the amount of the principal 2. A maximum maturity of 25 years 3. Bonds with maturities over 10 years must be callable, to refinance 4. Transparency Lockyer anticipates that AB-182 will be “the new rules enacted” and said the legislation was precipitated by the sense that the debt load is often too large for the amount borrowed. The question, he said, is how to define “too large.”

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

A level playing field Since November, when the community said “no” to Del Mar’s Village Specific Plan, there have been a number of proposals discussed regarding revitalization of the downtown including: reducing parking standards, increasing the floor area ratio and building a public parking garage. Lacking among these proposals is the need for a level playing field. Today, and for the last 45 years, development in Del Mar’s commercial district has been a “inside game.” Faced with an unrealistic parking ordinance, the Planning Department simply chose which properties to enrich. Until objective parking standards replace this subjective discretion, no revitalization can occur. Del Mar’s planning process created world-class residential properties, but the dilapidated and over-parked downtown is empirical evidence that this same process has failed in developing the downtown. Without a level playing field, developers will not invest in revitalization, and the downtown will continue to deteriorate. In the Jan. 31 issue of the Del Mar Times, we published a list of 16 under-parked properties, and why their permits were flawed. The City has acknowledged they have no documentation to refute the facts we have presented. 1201 Camino del Mar is an architectural significant building with more than four times as much parking as the average parking ratio of the rest of the commercial district. While it sets vacant, it symbolizes Del Mar’s un-level playing field. We invite Del Mar residents, commercial property owners and merchants to voice their opinion at: makedelmarfair.org. George Conkwright

In a private interview, Lockyer said the “construction folks” are trying to figure out “how to put the brakes on the legislation.” When I asked why proposed legislation limiting bonds to a 25-year maximum is only targeting school districts and not other public agencies, Lockyer said, “Abuses are almost always uniquely [by] school districts.” First elected as California’s 32nd state treasurer in 2006 and again in 2010, Lockyer is a credentialed teacher and served for years on a school board before becoming the state’s banker. The county treasurer’s office paid for the symposium, which included dinner for about 100 school board members and district officials who stayed for three hours to listen to speeches and panel discussions on the proposed legislation and how it will affect them. [No, I didn’t eat dinner on the county’s nickel. I didn’t even drink their water, although I do confess to finding a chair to sit on after my feet began to ache from standing in the back leaning

against the wall for an hour. Talk about the red room of pain …] In attendance from the San Dieguito Union High School District, which just received voter approval in November for a $449 million bond measure, were Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, and school board member John Salazar. In his keynote address, Lockyer said there is momentum in Sacramento lately to tighten bond financing rules despite vendors “worried about adverse impacts on their business.” Concerns are that some bond deals are financially unsound due to the high debt ratio and the length of time to pay them off. A movement across the state has taken hold to strengthen applicable provisions of the California Education Code and make the Ed. Code, rather than the more lenient government code, the final authority. Lockyer supports the reforms and said, “Current Interest Bonds would be the prudent way to finance,” in-

stead of districts relying on Capital Appreciation Bonds, or CABs. Current Interest Bonds pay semi-annual interest payments to bond holders, while CABs accrue interest over time but don’t pay out until final maturity, explained a panelist later that evening. Just discussing CABs, given the current climate, can cause a near riot. But the audience was reminded that some CABs like U.S. Savings Bonds are acceptable. Getting

around

the

bill A panel discussion on “Alternative Bond Financing Strategies” was led by Grossmont Union High School District’s assistant superintendent of business services Scott Patterson. This was when it got slightly interesting, if bonds and school finance issues turn you on. After Lockyer presented the basic background in school bond finance and how potential legislation may change the game, pan-

Elephant rides contract should not be continued I was very disappointed to read that our San Diego Fair Board has decided again to continue their contract with Have Trunk Will Travel for Elephant Rides for another TWO years of fairs. Advocates have repeatedly tried to convince the board to NOT continue the contract that was DUE to be up. At a meeting in November 2011, the Fair Board voted to put off its decision until 2014, despite shocking video evidence showing the Fair’s elephant ride provider, Have Trunk Will Travel, striking elephants with bullhooks and using an electric shock device during training. Since that meeting in 2011, the Orange County and Los Angeles Fairs have put an END to elephant rides with this company or any other, due to seeing the SAME videos and the potential for danger to anyone riding on one. This leaves the San Diego County Fair as the only major fair in Southern California that continues to offer rides. One board member was quoted as saying that “the rides were educational for children whose families may not be able to afford trips to the zoo.” Is he serious?! If you can afford to go to the Fair you can afford to

go to the zoo to at LEAST see elephants how they SHOULD be living (other than in the wild) — free to walk around, unchained, not poked with the bull hook and with other elephants — NOT walking in a tiny circle over and over again, day after boring day with people sitting on top of it and a “handler” poking him along! That board member needs some education himself when it comes to elephants! What is it with San Diego and our fair that we do not have the same compassion or smarts as the Los Angeles and Orange County fairs to see that this is wrong on every level and NOT worth the money they may bring in for TWO MORE SUMMERS! And if something should happen with fairgoers on an elephant ride over the next two summers, will the board still think it is worth the money? The board claims that it is not a money issue. If not a money issue then what? It is potentially dangerous and just plain CRUEL to the elephant for our supposed entertainment. Laurie Doyle Carmel Valley

‘Bring on Paseo’ After spending 25 minutes driving around the Highlands on yet another Saturday night trying in vain to find a parking spot to simply have dinner, I say, “Bring on Paseo.” We have lived in Carmel Valley for almost 20 years, and have been grateful for Ralphs and, along the way, all the restaurants. (We’re not so grateful for a new upscale movie theatre that is too expensive for a family to attend, even if there were seats available, which there never seem to be). But from repeated attempts to shop or dine on a Saturday night, or a Sunday afternoon, or any weekday lunchtime, and being irritated and frustrated by the inadequacy of the Highlands to handle the sheer numbers of other residents wanting to do the same, it is clear to me, at least, that we have simply out-grown this one venue.

SCHOOL elists provided what sounded like ways to get around the new order. Panelist Katherine Perkins, vice president at De La Rosa & Co. investment bankers (and the underwriter for San Dieguito’s bond), spoke about the difference between Proposition 46 which passed in 1986 and requires two-thirds voter approval, and Proposition 39 which passed in 2000 and requires 55 percent of voter support. “Until 2000, Proposition 46 was the only way to pass a bond,” Perkins said. Unlike Prop. 46, Prop. 39 places a legal cap on tax rates, setting a maximum of $60 per $100,000 in assessed property value for K-12 unified school districts and $30 per $100,000 for all other, non-unified districts like Del Mar and Solana Beach which serve grades K-6 and San Dieguito which serves grades 7-12. Perkins offered alternative ways for districts to get more taxpayer money, one of which sent shivers down the spines of ethical attendees – or should have. She suggested that school districts can acquire more money by going up to the maximum allowed by law under Prop. 39, regardless of what the voters think they approved. Eric Dill at San Dieguito, where voters okayed $25 per $100,000 in value, confirmed that Perkins was correct that voter approval is not required to increase the tax rate up to the maximum legal limit of $30 per $100,000. “However, we have every intention of moving forward with a long-term financing plan that satisfies the estimate we provided to the voters,” he said in an email. “Both the board and staff are keenly aware of the reliance our voters placed on this [ballot] statement, and we have worked to create a funding plan that works within our estimated limits.” Gary Hall, an executive director in J.P. Morgan’s public finance group, said Proposition 13 created what he called “stored value” in homes. Because of the difference in assessed value (the value of a home when it was purchased) and market value (the value of the home at current prices), properties held over time have “a false value until they are resold,” he said. “As homes sell, it should aid school districts.” Hall also suggested a way to get around the 4 to 1 debt ratio for bonds, describing a scenario where a CAB might have a debt ratio as high as 9 to 1 but the rest of the draw may be much less, bringing the average of the entire package down below the 4 to 1 maximum limit. McAllister, however, in a conversation about the

March 21, 2013 continued from page 18 new bond legislation a few weeks earlier, told me to be alert to this tactic, and not to look at the average but review the CAB ratio separately. Districts, he said, should not let the CAB ratio alone exceed 4 to 1. McAllister said the primary provision of the bill is the 4 to 1 debt ratio, which he said came from taxpayers who felt that was reasonable. A great beginning “I think what County Treasurer Dan McAllister is doing by informing all school districts about pending legislation which would restrict school bond financing is wonderful,” said SDUHSD trustee John Salazar after the symposium, in an email. “The pending legislation (AB 182) is necessary and important. It will ultimately save California taxpayers hundreds of millions, and possibly billions of dollars,” he said. “As a school board member I believe the public needs to hear more and more about the complexities of school bond financing.” SDUHSD’s Eric Dill said Lockyer and McAllister “have been very outspoken in their support of AB 182, so I appreciated the opportunity to listen to their opinions of the bill firsthand as well their insights as to why they feel this legislation is necessary.” “Mr. McAllister and his team have been instrumental in helping the district construct our first issuance. We’re grateful for his assistance,” he said. Both Salazar and Dill said the material covered at the symposium was fairly basic and familiar, but both felt it was useful for districts considering a future bond measure. “If the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office holds future workshops that delve deeper into the issues, SDUHSD will certainly participate,” Dill said. Of the March 12 symposium, McAllister said, “It’s a great beginning, but more needs to be done.” If AB-182 passes both houses and is signed by the governor, it would take effect Jan. 1, 2014 and is not retroactive so it would only apply to bonds issued after that date, according to School Services of Calif., a business, financial, management and advocacy resource for California school districts. San Dieguito has been praised, deservedly so, for reworking its bond to comply with all the provisions of AB-182 before the bill has passed. Not such painful bondage after all. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

Health: What makes connection such a powerful force? BY MARK KALINA, M.D. ABHM As a doctor, I care for a wide variety of people of different ages, health conditions and personality styles. Of course, I see people when they are not at their best and oftentimes when they are at their worst (not many people go to the doctor when they are feeling great). Interesting things happen when people are ill or injured. Among them: •They get negative thoughts •They experience feelings of Dr. Mark Kalina fear •They isolate themselves from others Most of us can most likely relate to one or more of these feelings or reactions to health challenges. And when we get over a cold or some minor injury, these feelings quickly dissipate. We start to feel better, and all is right with the world again. But what happens when health issues prolong themselves? Suddenly, those negative thoughts and feelings of fear and isolation intensify. These dark, inner feelings surface and won’t go away, increasing our level of anxiety. Many of us feel stuck. We obsess about our “chronic” condition. And we begin living in a lower mental state, less contented, unsure of ourselves and what the next day might bring. So how does one get out of this trap? I focus on connection as the doorway to empowerment and healing. Connecting with others makes humans come alive and thrive. Getting out of one’s own head—and the negative thoughts and feelings which take up residence there during the dark times—is the key to healing and regaining our power. There is magic that happens when people stop internalizing everything and come together. An energy evolves that takes the group and its members to new heights that could not have been reached by the individuals themselves. We need only to turn to the world of everyday life to see this is true: the power of group dynamics in a business or classroom setting to come up with the solution to a difficult problem, or the extra effort and accomplishments even just “weekend athletes” can achieve when working out with a group of like individuals. That’s why a group-based approach can provide opportunities for healing beyond what just traditional medicine might be able to do. It is enlightening. It is empowering. And it can set you free. Mark Kalina, M.D. ABHM is founder and Medical Director of Pando Health Groups. He is a Board Certified Physician with over 20 years experience. Pando offers a group based approach to wellness that incorporates both traditional and non-traditional health care methods. For more information visit: www.pandohealthgroups.com

The council did, however, support the suggestion by another neighbor, Clyde Freeman, to move the public hearing from the proposed April 15 to a later date. “We are moving a little too fast,” said Councilman Al Corti prior to the council’s vote to set the hearing for May 20. “The public may have issues with the selling of the property in general.” Del Mar Planning and Community Development Director Kathy Garcia said there is no direction in city documents such as the master plan regarding future goals for the city-owned site, which is zoned for a single-family residential development. Mayor Terry Sinnott said that if the city eventually follows through a sale, he’d like the funding to be designated for a specific future project rather than going into the general capital improvement fund. The city is continuing with a preliminary title report and appraisal, the completion of which is estimated to cost $3,400. The protest hearing will be held, in conjunction with the regular council meeting, at the Del Mar Communications Center, located at 240 10th St.

FEE continued from page 2 $2,000 per stall per year for 30 years. As construction costs change, the fee could also escalate with time, and the city also proposes an administration fee. Mayor Terry Sinnott also said he’d like to do everything possible to keep the fee low, but he said he supports the city’s proposal to increase the fee over time if necessary to accommodate land and construction costs to incentivize owners to pay in sooner rather than later to get efforts rolling. Councilman Don Mosier said he’d like to see a more comprehensive solution, that takes into account factors such as parking location and other sources of revenue. “As part of a comprehensive parking plan for downtown, I’d like to see the revenue distributed more equally,” he said, adding that more meters downtown might bring in more revenue from visitors and allow the city to bring down the in-lieu fee. Mosier also agreed with a suggestion by former mayor and Del Mar Village Association Board Member Richard Earnest to take into consider-

PAGE 19

ation the different sizes and types of businesses. “For small business owners who are already having trouble complying … it’s going to be a big disincentive,” Mosier said. “As far as new development, well, there isn’t any … You want to catch the new developments but not trap the existing ones in a situation they can’t get out of.” Sinnott added, “I don’t think we should have a price that’s going to cause everyone to go home and not participate … This should be a very good value from perspective of biz owners.” According to city staff, similar fees vary greatly across the state, from $1,000 in Ventura to $53,000 in Palo Alto. A 2007 study by the City of Del Mar showed that a three-level parking garage accommodating 200 cars on the city property at 1050 Camino Del Mar would cost between $5 and $7 million, however, the site of a future structure has not been set in stone, as the city is also looking at other options. Del Mar staff will return at a later date with a resolution establishing a fee schedule.

continued from page 2 they were doing and doing in a positive way.” But Sinnott said denying the easement would be fair to the rest of the community. City Manager Scott Huth said the issue presents a need for further discussion because the city’s code is currently lacking in guidelines for some aspects of this type of landscaping development, such as outdoor wall height and appearance. However, councilmembers declined taking on efforts to work on that policy.

Del Mar Powerhouse 12U Champions in Triple Crown Spring Championship Tournament The 12U Powerhouse boys scorched the competition in the Arizona desert last weekend during the Triple Crown Spring Championship Tournament. With the backdrop of Major League Spring Training, and gorgeous weather, this event hosted 24 teams from seven different states. The team went undefeated through five games, allowing only 6 runs, including two shutout games, to bring home the Championship. A remarkable moment for the Powerhouse team was the perfect game thrown by pitcher Grant Holman during the semi-final game. In a perfect game, no batter reaches any base during the course of the game. This amazing accomplishment was due to a brilliant pitching performance and flawless defensive execution by the entire team. The 12U Powerhouse team will travel to Florida in June to compete for a National Championship and will travel to Cooperstown, New York in August to play in the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame Invitational. In its 12th year of operation, Del Mar Powerhouse offers competitive baseball programs for children ages 7-14 in the Del Mar, Carmel Valley, RSF and surrounding areas. This year, Powerhouse is fielding eight highly competitive teams and is playing in tournaments throughout the western US. Tryouts for the 2013-2014 season will be held during the third week of June. www.delmarpowerhouse.com

The Pacific Ridge High School soccer team recently won the Division 5 CIF soccer title.

Six Carmel Valley residents help carry Pacific Ridge HS soccer team to second consecutive D5 CIF Title Sam Carney, Max Levin, Voja Maric, Jack Merrifield, Andrew Sinaw, and Radmer Van Der Heyde, all residents of Carmel Valley, are part of the Pacific Ridge side that two weeks ago defeated Calvin Christian in the Division 5 CIF soccer finals to make sure that the title stays in Pacific Ridge for another year. Last year PRS defeated Borrego Springs in a thriller that went into overtime and penalty kicks. This year PRS had an almost unchanged team from last year, and that experience and depth proved too much for the young Calvin Christian side. Calvin had its probably best scoring opportunity in the first minute of the game, but did not manage to convert the ball that was dangerously loose in the PRS penalty box. After that PRS took over, and the game ended 4 – 0 in favor of PRS. People often mistake the division number to mean less quality, whereas it denotes the school size. In fact, this year in the preseason PRS played some big soccer schools like Escondido. “We lost but were never outplayed says PRS cocaptain”, senior forward, Voja Maric. Voja who scored 99 goals for Pacific Ridge in his four years playing varsity, will continue playing soccer in Pomona College where he hopes to be able to bring the same level of success as he did to PRS. “I see Pomona as a NCAA Di-

vision 3 champion, why not?” says Voja. PRS soccer program started only few years ago, but it brought together a group of soccer players from SDSC, Lightning, Surf, Sharks and Attack who, under guidance of Coach Boyett, quickly formed a well organized, dynamic team. Some of the players could also have gone to play USSF Academy but that would mean not playing for the high school. “There is no experience like playing for your high school team” is the usual comment. During the playoffs the SDSC coach Mike Lopez came to watch his players. Even if not on the sidelines coaching Mike’s presence gave an additional boost to the players. “It is always great to see my boys compete one against the other. I know a lot of club soccer coaches don’t come to high school games, but I believe that club soccer and high school club can complement each other,” says Lopez. PRS advanced to the Southern California Region Playoffs where it was finally stopped in the semi-finals game against the overalls winners, Animo Charter from LA South Bay – a team consisting mostly of Pateadores Academy players.

DMCV Sharks GU16 Elite are National League Champions The Sharks Girls U16 Elite team last played soccer together in December in NC where they played and won four games of their seven National League games. Then the 20 girls went on to play high school soccer at 10 different schools through out the county. This past weekend, just two weeks after all the girls were back with the team, they traveled to Las Vegas to play three games thus completing their National League schedule. The Sharks sitting on the top of the division with their four wins, were facing tough competition from 2012 National Champion runner up team, Kings Hammer Academy from Ohio in their first game. The game ended in a draw, nil-nil with both teams battling hard. The Sharks won their second game against FC Alliance from Tennessee and third game against Pride Predators from Colorado locking up the National League title “Champions.” Coach Felicia Kappes could not be happier, “I am so very proud and inspired by this group of young ladies and what they have accomplished in their first year of competing in the National League. To go undefeated in league play and to capture the Division Title Championship was amazing, especially given the fact that they have just returned from their high school break. It will take us a couple of months to get back to the level we are accustomed to playing. However, they have refused to lose mentality and overcame very poor field conditions to win this title. We set several teams goals this year and one of them was to win a National Championship. Now we have an opportunity to do just that by winning the National League and qualifying to compete in the National Championship Tournament at the end of July in Kansas. We are excited about this challenge and look forward to enjoying this journey as we compete and prepare for this lofty goal.” The National League is an extension of U.S. Youth Soccer Regional League. It provides teams with matches against top competition from across the country over two weekends.

SD Premier Field Hockey conquers Cal San Diego Premier field hockey club, based in Carmel Valley, took a first place and a second place in the Under 16 division of the Cal 6v6 Tournament last week in northern California. This was the first competitive event for the new club, led by Torrey Pines varsity coaches Katy Moyneur and Chilly Banuelos-Lomeli. SDP took three teams to the tourney and all did remarkably well, compiling a record of 15 wins and one two defeats. A total of 24 teams from more than a dozen top California clubs took part in the tournament, hosted by UC Berkeleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collegiate field hockey program. But SD Premier was the only club that had two teams advance to the championship round. SDP Yellow won the U16 middle championship in a shootout over Moorpark Coyotes after regulation ended in a tie. SDP Blue finished second at the U16 elite level in another shootout (that went six rounds) after their title game against Hollywood AC finished in a 3-3 draw. In another excellent showing, Team Red lost only one game all day. Five Torrey Pines players traveled to Berkeley with SDP including forward Shannon Yogerst, midfielder Gabi Jimenez and defender Farah Farjood on the Team Blue; and forwards Gabi LeRose and Dani Jackel on the Team Red. Local players interested in joining San Diego Premier should click onto the club website (www.sandiegopremierfieldhockey.com). SDP is looking to form U14 teams in the future and is especially interested in middle school girls who want to play or improve their field hockey skills.

Q&A

The Grand Del Mar is the place to be for New York transplant Kenan Simmons – previously a vice president with New York City-based Leading Hotels of the World – is the executive director of sales & marketing at The Grand Del Mar, San Diego’s only Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five Diamond resort. With more than 20 years of experience in the luxury hotel niche, Simmons was with Leading Hotels of the World – a luxury Kenan Simmons hospitality organization representing the world’s finest hotels and resorts – for 15 years and served as its vice president, the Americas, since 2004. At The Grand Del Mar, he heads up all sales and marketing activities for San Diego’s multiple award-winning luxury resort, leveraging the resort’s many recent awards and successes to help develop and oversee group and leisure sales, marketing initiatives, advertising, collateral, social media and public relations. During his tenure at Leading Hotels of the World, Simmons worked his way up the ranks from sales manager to vice president. He was ultimately successful at revitalizing and recalibrating the company’s sales strategies, as well as directing eight regional sales offices in New York, Miami Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo and Mexico City – concentrating on driving business growth, global sales initiatives, building the business brand and maintaining clientele. Simons is a native of New York City metro area and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business from Niagara University in Niagara, New York. What brought you to this area? I have a family three young boys, and we wanted to make a quality of life change. I had lived in the New York City area my entire life, and my professional life has always been there as well. In New York, I was fortunate to work with some of the best luxury hotels/brands in the world. So, to make the change to a new city meant that it had to be the right opportunity. After only one visit to The Grand Del Mar, I knew this was the place for me! What are your favorite spots in town? Coming from the hustle and bustle of New York, I love everything about San Diego. I especially love Encinitas, which is the quintessential California laid-back beach town. We try to spend as much time as possible at the beach.

Patriot Profiles: ‘Duty is doing the right thing when no one is looking’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY On Feb. 20, 1970, a presidential commission moved the United States to all-volunteer Armed Forces. Recruitment efforts presented the military as a career path, an income, and a way to higher education. In the weeks and months following the terrorist attacks that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001, Army Sergeant Cheri Depenbrock was amazed as people walked in her recruitment office with one purpose. “It was all about the patriotism,” she recalls, “They didn’t care about anything else. Money had nothing do with it…I think half those kids would have joined if we hadn’t paid them.” In 2010, it wasn’t the money or benefits that led Specialist (Spc) Jeremy Shivick, a native of El Cajon,

Calif., to a recruiter. He was attending San Diego State University as a math major and felt a sudden urge to join the Army. Despite a lack of family support, he remembers, “I felt like I could serve my country more by being a soldier than I could going to school.” Infantry is what Shivick went after from the get-go, saying that was the job that fit him best. “The first thing everyone goes through is Basic Training,” he says, “That’s where you transition from being a civilian to being a solider.” Basic teaches physical and mental preparedness in a highly intense and challenging task environment, including combat lifesaving certification. Compared to school finals, the Army gave Jeremy new meaning to performing and func-

tioning under stress. Shivick had to zero an M-4 series weapon, a soldier’s small arms companion. (The term “zero” means the point at which the path of the bullet intersects with the shooter’s line of sight). This requires mastering aim, positioning, breathing, trigger squeeze – even outfoxing the weather. Shivick went to Advanced Individual Training (AIT) to become a specialist in his Infantry job. “There I learned a lot of tactics and how to deal with combat situations and how to interact with multi-cultural civilian populaces in different regions.” Upon leaving AIT, Shivick says they get a little more hands-on training with the squad automatic weapon (SAW), an M240 machine gun, a .50 caliber rifle, and the Mark (MK-19) grenade launcher —although some of these weapons are specialized to companies that deal with

heavier equipment. Not everyone can get in Airborne School, but Shivick had it written in his enlistment contract. He replays the first time he jumped out of an aircraft, “I was nervous for a little while. You have to rig up [a parachute and rucksack] and do pre-jump exercises to get in a state of mind to exit the aircraft. Lots of friends I knew from Infantry were there – we were moral support for one another. Once I jumped, my military chute opened and everything went great.

C-SPAN bus comes to CCA to honor student filmmakers BY KAREN BILLING The C-SPAN bus rolled into the Canyon Crest Academy parking lot on March 14 to honor three CCA Envision Cinema students who were honorable mention winners in the national CSPAN 2013 StudentCam competition. CCA students Ari Moutal, Blake Finley and Emily Wong won the honorable mention for their advanced video/film project “Bullying: A Threat to Our Nation.” The video was selected out of a record 1,800 videos submitted on the theme “Message to the President.” The students’ video features interviews with CCA students and staff members as well as footage from CSPAN on the topic of bullying. The film shows ways

CCA is dealing with improving awareness and encourages the president to look for potential funding for widespread programs to inform the country of the issue at hand. As Blake says in the video, bullying can affect an entire community, break up families and result in tragedies like suicide or homicide. “Communities are darkened by tragedies as well as a lack of effort to put any end to it. This issue runs generations deep and it is our generation’s duty to change our communities into more flexible and accepting places,” said Blake. “It isn’t up to us to wait for a change, it’s up to us to create the change and call to attention the seriousness of an issue long not regarded

on a level at which it should be addressed.” In addition to getting the opportunity to tour the C-SPAN bus, the students were also showered in certificates of achievement from Senator Marty Block, Assemblyman Brian Maienschein and San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts. Amy Herman, a San Dieguito Union High School District board member, was also on hand to celebrate the students’ accomplishment. “We’re really excited to see how this program has grown,” Herman said.

Wake up to breakfast SoCal-style at Beach Grass Cafe BY KELLEY CARLSON he Beach Grass Cafe established roots in Solana Beach more than a decade ago and has been thriving ever since. Owned by Cindy and Kevin Nelson since last August, the establishment has maintained a laid-back vibe — a place to “chillax” (chill out and relax). The brickand-wood dining room is outfitted with ocean-themed photos by local artist Aaron Chang. Guests favor sitting in sun-kissed booths that are next to large windows while dining and listening to eclectic tunes or chatting with their company. Children can be found solving puzzles and coloring on their menus, which feature offerings such as a Silly Face Buttermilk Pancake and Macaroni & Cheese. Outside, customers kick back on the patio (temperature-controlled by heaters and the sea breeze) and observe the activity along the famous Highway 101. But no matter where they sit, the regulars ask for their preferred servers. “The staff has been here a long time,” Kevin said. “People come in to see their favorite waiters and waitresses.” And of course, the customers are drawn to the fare, which is made from scratch and includes some unique items. Breakfast is served all day and among the specialties are the Chorizo Hash, a mixture of house-made turkey chorizo, green

North Coast Rep’s Spotlight Gala to feature Lainie Kazan The “Spotlight Gala” benefiting North Coast Repertory Theatre is scheduled for Sunday, April 21, at the Del Mar Country Club. The evening includes a cocktail reception, gourmet sitdown dinner and entertainment by multi-award-winning singer and actor Lainie Kazan. During the course of her storied career, Kazan has received Tony, Golden Globe and Emmynominations. Located in Solana Beach, North Coast Rep is now in its 31st season. Under the leadership of Artistic Director David Ellenstein and Managing Director Bill Kerlin, North Coast Rep continues to grow as a nationally recognized professional theatre. The critically-acclaimed “Time Stands Still,” by Donald Margulies, runs through Sunday, March 17. Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple” opens April 10. Gala Chair Sharon Stein, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and a member of the theatre’s Board of Trustees, said, “The committee is working hard to put together a memorable event and we are delighted to have an artist of the caliber of Lainie Kazan as our featured entertainment.” Kazan first gained attention as Barbra Streisand’s understudy in the Broadway production of “Funny Girl.” She later received a Tony Award nomination for her role in the musical version of “My Favorite Year.” A native New York, Kazan appeared in nightclubs and as a guest on virtually every top variety and talk show on television. While appearing at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel, she was noticed by Francis Ford Coppola who offered her a movie role in “One from the Heart.” The next year, Kazan was nominated for a Golden Globe Award as “Best Supporting Actress” in Richard Benjamin’s “My Favorite Year” with Peter O’Toole. Her many other films include “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Kazan has two films due for release in 2013, “Divorce Invitation” and “Finding Joy.” She was nominated for an Emmy Award for “St. Elsewhere” and received a CableACE Award nomination for “The Paper Chase.” She has guest starred on “Will & Grace,” had recurring roles on “The Nanny,” “Desperate Housewives” and played Arthur’s romantic interest on “King of Queens.” She has appeared on “Modern Family” and the Disney Channel series “Jessie.” As a recording artist, her CDs include her jazz collections, “Lainie Kazan–In The Groove” and “Body and Soul.” She has recorded under the MGM label and was awarded Best New Artist award in 1968. Kazan is now teaching at UCLA and is starting a Cabaret program there as well. Honorary chairs for the event are Frank and Lee Goldberg. Tickets to the event start at $250 per person and include the cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, silent and live auctions, Artists’ Advocacy and much more.

CCA student Emily Laliotis composes 10 original songs for Sarah Ruhl’s ‘Eurydice’ Canyon Crest Academy junior Emily Laliotis is inspired to write music. CCA Theater’s “Eurydice” is opening on March 28 at CCA’s Black Box Theater. “Eurydice” is the myth of Orpheus & Eurydice spun into contemporary times. In addition to writing the music, Laliotis is both the music director and accompanist for the show. “Besides my guitar, the actors and I mostly use our voices as the instruments to create rich sound-scapes out of seemingly simple patterns. The only other key instrument is a rain stick, which ties in to one of the key images in the show. All of the music and sound effects will be done live.” Laliotis credits teachers for inspiring her to tackle the monumental task of composing a musical score. “Stacey Hardcastle, my (CCA) sophomore English Honors teacher, not only rekindled my love of learning but also gave me the courage to perform original songs in front of other people. She touched me deeply, and I will never be able to thank her enough. My music teacher, Jania Isaac, has helped me in honing my skills as a songwriter and an artist. Before I began working with her, there was no way that I could have taken on this challenge.” Inspired by their own teachers, Laliotis and the cast of “Eurydice” invite local teachers to bring their students to the show. Sadie Kennedy, CCA senior playing the title role of Eurydice, says the entire cast has sent letters to local 6th grade teachers inviting them to the play. Says Kennedy, “‘Eurydice’ is an adaption of mythology to everyday life, which we all studied in 6th grade. This play would be very relevant to 6th graders and great way to wrap up the year.” In fact, the show perfectly meshes with California’s sixth grade social studies curriculum goal to “explain the significance of Greek mythology...and how Greek literature continues to permeate our literature and language today.” CCA drama teacher and the show’s director, Tarla Hill, extends an invitation to teachers to bring their classes to a special afternoon showing, and offers to visit classrooms to introduce them to the play. “Our mission is to expand the learning experience to all students, and we are happy to facilitate that experience

Emily Laliotis in any way we can.

I take inspiration from anyone who has been able to capture the soul and love in music.” As for Laliotis’ favorite See SONGS, page B26

Del Mar design business thriving off America’s newfound dance craze BY CLAIRE HARLIN What began with a generous mom volunteering to fix costumes for her daughter’s dance team more than 20 years ago has grown into a thriving Del Mar business specializing only in kids’ costume design — an industry that has exploded in the past year as a handful of popular TV shows about dancing have emerged. “I was just an innocent dance mom minding my own business, taking home costumes because I knew how to sew, and now this business has a life of its own,” said Darlene Langford, owner of Details Dancewear, located at 226 12th St., Del Mar, 92014. Langford said the growth has almost been hard to handle since 10-year-old Sophia Maria Lucia, a Poway dancer and star of the Lifetime series, “Dance Moms,” started sporting her designs on TV. Alina Langford, Darlene’s daughter, has postponed her career in marine biology to tend to her mom’s business and has been helping out by accommodating the deluge of online orders. She said it’s not out of the ordinary for one post on Facebook featuring Sophia Lucia in a Details costume to generate a healthy number of online orders for the same outfit. “We’re getting orders of one suit, and then they see the quality and then they buy custom-made suits for the whole team or the whole studio,” said Darlene, adding that one costume generally costs between $150 and $300. Alina added, “And that’s not even with the

From left: Alina and Darlene Langford of Details Dancewear PHOTO/CLAIRE HARLIN rhinestones you can add.” Darlene moved into her tiny Del Mar boutique space, which only adds up to about 300 square feet, about two years ago after her husband, who had been teaching guitar lessons there, moved to a bigger location. Before that, she had been doing costume design out of her home, mainly for one studio, for about 20 years. After pulling away from that studio, she said, “the floodgates opened,” and Details Dancewear has garnered clients from the Bay Area to Australia to Tennessee. Youth dance is a culture all in itself, Darlene said, and “everything is a competition, including the costume.” It’s a way to stand out in a competitive environment in which scholarships and success are at stake for young dancers, she explained, and girls within teams both compete with each other but also against each for individual titles. “One girl wears a California outfit in a Tennessee studio and they all want one,” she said, adding that girls often cut the tags out of their costumes so other dancers can’t see where they bought it. That exclusivity factor helps Darlene’s case even more, when considering that her boutique is off the beaten path, tucked behind Camino Del Mar and between several other small businesses on 12th Street. But Darlene said she’s been having a hard time accommodating such fast growth, because she sews each outfit by hand and would need skilled designers on her team that can handle complex and delicate materials. “It sets me apart from being mass-produced, but at the same time, I can’t do more than 10 at a time,” said Darlene. Alina added, “The dance costume world is also so complex. Not just anyone can do it, understand the fabrics, the competitions, the dancers, the choreographers, and dance moms. And you’d be surprised; We have a few dance dads who come in here too and they are very particular.” For more information or to place an online order, visit www.detailsdancewear.com; 858-225-1234.

UCSD Art Gallery would ‘Love your Company’ at unique exhibition BY WILL BOWEN If you like optical illusions and how the eyes sometimes play tricks on the mind, then you will enjoy the exhibit that opened Feb. 21 at the University Art Gallery (UAG) in the Mandeville Center on UCSD campus. The whole gallery white space, including the floor and ceiling, has been integrated into the exhibit. There is a small theater stage in the middle of the floor and what appears to be another small stage hanging upside down from the ceiling. Around the walls are moveable panels of lemon yellow and lime green material stretched on rectangle PVC frames. Because of their bright colors, these panels cast a strange glow throughout the room. Patrons are invited to move the panels at their whim to create their own configurations and influence the lighting. On the floor, throughout the room, are life-sized photographs of the human figures used in architectural models. These photographs are printed on a special paper and peeled up from the floor at precarious angles. From across the room, it ap-

If you go What: ‘We’d love your company,’ new project with New York-based artist Ethan Breckenridge When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays through May 10 Where: Mandeville Center, UC San Diego campus Website: universityartgallery.ucsd.edu Admission: Free Related events: March 28, April 3, 11 and 22, May 9. See story for details pears as if the photographs are either real people or mannequins or at least three-dimensional in nature. On opening night it was hard to tell who were the patrons or the professional photographers taking pictures of the exhibit or which were the models! It was quite a surprise to see the bubble of illusion burst when one got up close to the photographs and realized that’s just what they

were — two-dimensional oversized photographs! At a certain point during the opening, three actors strode into the center of the exhibit and began a reading of what appeared to be a postmodern made-fortelevision play, which was written by Ethan Breckenridge, the artist behind the exhibit. Breckenridge created the concept of the show, which is called “A Project” with the help of Michelle Hyun, who is a curatorial fellow at the gallery. The opening and the short play are a part of a series of events that will be happening in the gallery until May 10, when the exhibit closes. • Thursday, March 28 at 4 p.m., there will be a premiere screening of a video produced by Breckenridge, which will be shown continuously in the gallery at the back of the exhibit hall thereafter. • Wednesday, April 3 at 6 p.m., there will be a lecture by Suhaii Malik, with corresponding shadow puppet performance by Van C. Tran • Thursday, April 11 at 4 p.m., there will be a musical performance by Rachel

Mason in collaboration with The Preuss School • Monday, April 22 at 4 p.m., there will be a lecture by visiting artist Martha Rosler. • Thursday, May 9 at 6:30 p.m., there will be a performance-based workshop by Liz Magic Lazer, in collaboration with actor Audrey Crabtree that draws upon the work of Brazilian theater director Augusto Boal. In addition, the gallery has extended an invitation to all interested parties to propose an event to be included in the overall series. Such events could include a conference, performance, seminar gabfest, social gathering, etc. Just e-mail the gallery at uag@ucsd.edu with the necessary information to be considered. There is a higher theoretical question behind the photographic exhibit, video, and all the events that are planned. It’s all about the question of hospitality and engagement — all the new ways art galleries are experimenting with to bring potential art patrons to their shows, including the use of social media. Art galleries are also experimenting with trying to

design the impact they will have on their guests and better control what their experiences will be like. The overall aim of this UAG exhibit is to provide a forum for thinking about all the complexities involved in these issues.

When you consider the prominent role the UAG used to play in the art life of the community 10 or 20 years ago, and compare it to the narrow elitist orbit it spins around today, it gives you pause for thought.

Shared aesthetic boosts DM couple’s relationship in business, marriage BY CLAIRE HARLIN Driving around North County, one may notice a similar style among projects like the Beach Haus condos in Solana Beach, the homes of Boca Del Mar, the Stratford Woods condos on Stratford Court or the immaculate home on the northernmost coastal edge of Del Mar, which can be seen prominently by Dog Beachgoers as waves spray onto its windows at high tide. Those structures’ modern, clean white lines reflect the signature style of architectural firm Batter Kay Associates, headed up by longtime residents Michael Batter and Janice Kay, who are both partners in business and in marriage. The couple has designed more than 200 homes during their nearly 40-year career together. Most of their projects adorn the North County San Diego area, and they continue to attract clients who seek them out with a distinct style in mind — that of a Batter Kay home. “Most people know what we do and come in because they want something like that,” said Batter in a recent interview. “We’ve had people who thought we would do another kind of building, mainly back in the early days, but we always said, ‘No, there’s other people who can do that.’” The couple’s style has, for the most part, embodied the same characteristics over the decades — modern, with sharp corners and white in color, as to provide contrast between indoor and outdoor spaces — and, luckily, the two come together with a common style. “Maybe that says something about why we’ve lasted,” Batter said with a joking nudge to his wife. Kay added, “We don’t really know any different … We work over the table, discuss things and give and take, but it’s much easier when you know what the other is thinking.” Perhaps the two developed their similar sense of

Michael Batter and Janice Kay style from the same place that both their relationship and their careers were born — Harvard University. Batter remembers meeting Kay when he walked into one of the drafting studios to tell someone they had a phone call, and while the couple didn’t remember all the details, they knew it was from that day when they began dating. Batter was from Connecticut and Kay was a Del Mar native, and he said when he moved to Del Mar to follow her after school, he wasn’t sure that it would be permanent. “It was a whole new world to me,” he said. “I sublet my apartment thinking I may go back, or that maybe Janice would change her mind and come to the East Coast.” Kay retorted, “Never.” “Obviously she never did,” replied Batter, “and I never wanted to leave in the end.” During their Harvard years, many edgy architects had a presence at the Ivy League architecture school, which was at that time headed up by well-known architect Josep Lluis Sert, and Batter said it’s likely his company’s style can be in part attributed to that. The couple has also kept the traditional method of building three-dimensional models, a strategy that has in large part been lost to the emergence of computer design programs. “We find that you can see a lot with the use of a model, even though people don’t really draw and make models anymore,” said Batter. “Computers work well and they have a place, and we still have the capabilities to use computers or do computerized walk-throughs when the client wants that.” When the couple started their firm in 1975, Del Mar was a place of innovation when it came to modern design. “Back then it was progressive,” said Batter. “Del Mar was known for its modern design.” However, elsewhere shed roofs and cedar siding were commonplace back then, which Batter said “made it fun in those times.” “It still is fun,” Kay added. And in keeping the marriage fun, the two still connect on their common passions, traveling together and getting to see amazing architecture and art all over the world that they both admire. “We both are really interested in one aspect of the world and that’s design,” said Batter, adding that they love to collect furniture and art. “I guess that’s what’s kept us together, professionally too. We have a shared aesthetic.” For more information on Batter Kay, visit www.batterkay.com. Office location: 2195 San Dieguito Drive, Del Mar, 92014; info@batterkay.com.

Local filmmaker to premiere television pilot at L.A. festival BY ASHLEY MACKIN Local filmmaker Kai Collins and her writing partner, Deena Adar, will premiere their comedic television pilot “thirty*ish*” at the NewFilmmakers L.A. Film Festival on March 23. It was created through their selfestablished production company Quiet Duke. “Ideally, we’ll use Filmmaker the pilot as a calling Kai Collins card to get people more familiar with our writing and our brand of comedy, and we’d love to sell the project,” Collins said. The pilot explores the humor behind not meeting the expectations some set for themselves upon entering their 30s. Collins describes “thirty*ish*” as HBO’s “Girls” meets the 1987 drama “thirtysomething.” “We’re writing about situations that are recognizable, and maybe the humor is coming from how awkward and uncomfortable it is, or how (you might think) ‘uh, I’ve been in that situation’ or ‘I’ve dated that person’ or ‘that is me,’ ” Collins explained. “We’re trying to reach beyond your standard sitcom and draw upon really personal experiences, as well as experiences of friends and family who are close to us, who’ve shared what they are going through.” What they might be going through is a

relationship falling apart or parenting struggles or, as Collins puts it, “just having a sense of realizing you’re a grownup and wondering how that happened.” The impetus for the cable-network hopeful was a frustrated conversation between Collins and Adar about a project they were working on that wasn’t going anywhere. Worried they were on the wrong path, they started discussing the expectations, dreams and hopes they had for where they thought would be — and how they weren’t meeting them. They immediately started writing the pilot for “thirty*ish*” based on the questions they were asking themselves. Questions like, “Why does it take three months to get together with friends – when everyone is so busy with kids and work – and we used to just ride our bikes over to our friend’s house and get together.” “So it went from us tearing our hair out in the morning, frustrated, to a matter of hours later having a complete pilot outlined,” Collins said, They had actors committed to the project soon after, and took that as a sign they were back on track. Having written viral videos and short sketches in the past (some have received thousands of hits by viewers and are available at quietduke.com/work), Collins took this as an opportunity to express her smart sense of humor. “We try to transcend limitations and

Turbans created for Moores Cancer Center

omen and teens from Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley, Del Mar and Solana Beach gathered on March 14 to celebrate the 171st birthday of Relief Society, the women’s service organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Over the last 171 years this has become a worldwide sisterhood with one of the main purposes of the organization being to seek out and care for those in need. With this purpose in mind, a philanthropic project was the focus of the celebration. On behalf of patients that undergo chemotherapy, Del Mar Ward Relief Society created turbans to keep patients warm while in the hospital, as well as to have something comfortable and stylish to wear home. Event chair Cassie Nelson indicated that 112 turbans for women, men and children were created and will be donated to Moores Cancer Center and Oncology Floor at Thornton Hospital. Fifty-five beautiful original brooches — to be worn on the turbans — and 46 handsome braided ropes were also created and will be donated to the Moores Cancer Center. PHOTOS/JON CLARK

First Thursdays features former Wings guitarist

aurence Juber, who is an English-born guitarist and lives in California, gave an extraordinary performance at the Del Mar Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March 7 First Thursdays Cultural Arts event. Often considered most famous for playing lead guitar in Wings from 1979 to 1981, he has since had a distinguished career as a solo fingerstyle guitarist. Juber received an extraordinary life-changing break when Paul McCartney picked him to become Wingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead guitarist. He spent three years recording and touring with the band. After Wings disbanded in 1981, Juber relocated to the U.S. and established himself as a studio musician. For more information, visit www.delmarfoundation.org.

Betcha didn’t know some of these spring food facts! The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Spring gently drifts in, bringing with it a stream of festivals, holidays and sporting events accompanied by a crop of tender shoots and other traditional foods celebrating rebirth, rejuvenation, freedom, the national pastime and the Earth’s bounty. Inquiring culinary minds want to know about spring’s best offerings. Here are the answers. What’s the difference between green and white asparagus? While green asparagus is exposed to sunlight to produce its rich emerald color, its albino sister is buried under soil where it undergoes the process of etiolation (light deprivation), which prevents the production of chlorophyll producing virgin white stalks. These are milder tasting, and more tender than their green counterpart. They’re also higher in calories as the sugar content is spiked. Both have a mother lode of antioxidantrich vitamins A and C, stressrelieving B, along with potassium and calcium to dial up bone health. But ultimately, green trumps white, as it contains anthocyans for cardiovascular protection. White is also higher maintenance and needs a peel before cooking, while green can be steamed, roasted, marinated or chomped on raw without the necessity of peeling. Are peppermint and spearmint interchangeable in savory and sweet dishes? These ubiquitous culinary herbs are grown in assorted climes enlivening cuisines globally. Although doppelgangers in appearance with bright green, jagged, spear-shaped leaves, spearmint and peppermint are not created equal. Spearmint has more bite to it with a distinct aroma, while its peppermint cousin is sweeter with a milder disposition. The latter also contains menthol; a breath of relief in cool drinks (ice teas, sparkling

waters) that stamp out fires from spicy foods. And since it’s the mildest of the pair, it works best in desserts (chocolate mint cheesecake, crème de menthe parfaits, mint brownies), chutneys and relishes, sprinkled on peas, spuds and carrots, and blended in lassi (Indian yoghurt drink). The mighty spearmint is ideal as a rub for roasted lamb and chicken, blended in hearty sauces or jellies or as a riff on pesto swapping out basil for the tangier herb. Kudos to mint for also putting the skids on indigestion. Minty mojitos anyone?

When did eggs become a symbol of Easter? The egg is Mother Nature’s precious package and has been revered as a symbol of creation, fertility, rebirth and Easter celebrations since ancient times. The Romans, Chinese, Egyptians and Persians, who had yearly rituals of exchanging gorgeously, decorated eggs during the Spring Equinox, honored it in rites of spring. Decorating eggs has been a custom since the days of Edward I of England in 1290 when royal records showed that 18 pence were paid for 450 eggs gold-leafed and colorfully painted by hand for Easter gifts. Are spring onions the same as scallions? Delicate scallions are the slender cousins to the more bulbous, zippier spring onion, which true to its namesake, is available only in the spring season while the other can be found throughout the year. They can both be used chopped fresh in salads, thinly sliced as a garnish for soups or Asian noodle dishes, and tossed in stir fries, but the larger more sturdy spring onion stands up better than scallions when roasted or braised. Remember with the stronger flavored spring onion, more is less. This zesty pair of warriors also burns carbs and put the skids on inflammation. What’s the latest ballpark trend in hot dogs? While you can still relish a classic ballpark wiener like the Dodger Dog and the Fenway Frank, the latest hot dog craze at the stadium is triple by-pass on a bun. The Cincinnati Red is a deep-fried dog wrapped in bacon, topped with chili and fried salami. Other carnivorous-lovers’ creations at assorted stadiums include such toppings as pulled pork or shredded brisket swimming in barbecue sauce. Is it appropriate to serve roasted lamb at the Passover Seder? This year, Easter merges with Passover week, although some ritualistic and celebratory foods collide. While many families enjoy roasted spring lamb for their Easter Sunday meal, this tradition harks back to the inaugural Jewish Passover Seder (dinner). The sacrificial lamb was roasted and served with unleavened bread (matzo) and bitter herbs called maror, so the Angel of Death would “pass over” their homes and spare their first-born male. When many Hebrews converted to Christianity, the custom of eating lamb during Easter survived generations. Today, many Jewish families forgo serving lamb since it’s reminiscent of the ancient Paschal sacrifice. For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Putting simple instructions in small steps broke him out of the freeze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If one were to panic [in battle] you need to get to them as soon as possible, because every soldier you have is an asset for the team, so you want them to regain focus quickly.â&#x20AC;? Focus, hard work, and endurance earned Shivick the right to compete in the Department of the Army 2012 Best Warrior Competition. Over a series of three days, he was included in a group of 24 of the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most elite warriors that are put through a series of oral interviews, physical fitness tests, and written exams. They must also complete a day and night land navigation course and work through battlefield scenarios, including individual conduct and laws of war, combat first aid, unexploded ordnance, and M-4 range zero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is the culmination of various competitions trying to become the Department of the Army Soldier of the Year,â&#x20AC;? states Shivick. The winner is privy to prestigious honors and cash prizes for their achievements. He had to compete against other remarkable soldiers with a variety of military occupational specialties. Shivick came in as a rifleman, but got the hoped-for chance to take charge on those fightto-the finish days, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned all these skills people were

expecting me to know and become extremely proficient at. I was able to have my team rely on my instruction to accomplish the mission.â&#x20AC;? Although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, he gives credit to his command and unit for their help and support to get him that far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been proving myself in these competitions and demonstrated potential to be an excellent leader. The biggest thing I can offer is my knowledge of warrior task and drills. That experience I can transfer through leadership. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building confidence in yourself and can instill confidence in the soldiers [you lead] making a more cohesive unit.â&#x20AC;? Shivickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term goals are to be a Non-Commissioned Officer and gain experience from a combat deployment. Today, Shivickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family sees his decision to join the Army through different eyes. When the call came, Spc. Jeremy Shivick answered without looking back. His nation was at war and that was more important than anything. When patriotism pulses through the veins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a country founded on freedom can smile at its citizens who stop what they are doing to defend it. The military is not for everyone, but thank goodness itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect fit for some. For Shivick, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Army is an incredible way to live. It teaches you much about yourself and how to be a good member of society.â&#x20AC;?

Q&A continued from page B1 What accomplishment are you most proud of? The Grand Del Mar just celebrated its five-year anniversary, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to be part of a team that has garnered so many accolades and awards in such a short period of time. Some luxury hotels never reach this level. Who or what inspires you? Everyday life and all it brings inspires me! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inspired to see and experience as much as possible. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My party would be an eclectic group: JFK, Steve Jobs, Ronald Reagan, Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Buffett, and Pope John Paul II. What are you currently reading? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Easy Dayâ&#x20AC;? by Mark Owen with Kevin Maurer What would be your dream vacation? We have three boys under the age of 6, so anywhere alone with my wife for a week would be dreamy. What are your favorite movies of all time? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goodfellasâ&#x20AC;? What is your mostprized possession? While it is not a possession, my family is the most important thing to me. My most-prized material possession is my collection of Scotty Cameron headcovers. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure where I heard this, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep your eyes open and get on with it.â&#x20AC;?

Del Mar Plaza welcomes P.S. Platinum Properties P.S. Platinum Properties (P.S. Platinum) recently opened its third office in the Del Mar Plaza, located at 1555 Camino del Mar #206, Del Mar. The company was founded in Del Mar over a decade ago and will maintain its original office in the Stratford Court building in Del Mar, as well as its La Jolla office on Prospect Street. “We felt this was the perfect time to expand in our own backyard as our company continues to grow,” said Brett Combs, owner and broker of P.S. Platinum. “The Del Mar Plaza was a natural fit as many of our clients shop and dine there regularly. It also attracts travelers who are visiting the area.” The intimate space was designed to capture the look and feel of the area by Doug Dolezal of Dolezal Design. Features include a coastal-inspired color palette, reclaimed woods and stained concrete flooring. Large windows open up to the main shopping area where the office sits on the Market Level of the Del Mar Plaza.

P.S. Platinum services some of San Diego’s most luxurious coastal and affluent neighborhoods including Del Mar, La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach. The new Del Mar Plaza office will showcase its sales listings, vacation rentals and leases in the area. “We feel very positive about the future of the market and are confident that with our new office we’ll be able to meet the needs of our clients and community even more effectively,” continued Combs. Known as San Diego’s premier luxury real estate boutique brokerage, P.S. Platinum provides full-service residential real estate and leasing services. P.S.
