Major 101 construction ahead of schedule But project has affected local business operations, traffic flow

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Traveling Solana Beach’s main thoroughfare has become a little more difficult since mid-July. The biggest construction project the city has seen in nearly 20 years is under way, and although it’s been on the planning board for five years, the state of the 101 has left many locals and business owners frustrated and asking,

“Why now?” “I wish they could have waited until the winter,” said Torie Bell, general manager of Pizza Port, located at 135 N. Highway 101. Bell said she thinks the renovations will be “worth it in the end,” but it’s “like a ghost town” in her usually-packed restaurant on the days the races aren’t in

session. “Most of our customers are locals and they don’t want to deal with the traffic,” she said, See 101, Page 6

Cars head north on Highway 101, which is undergoing the biggest construction project Solana Beach has seen in decades.

BY KAREN BILLING Caltrans released the supplemental draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on Aug. 31 for the I-5 widening project. The release of the supplemental draft, which includes information from recently completed lagoon hydrology studies, is accompanied by a 45-day public review period. A public forum will also be held in Encinitas on Wednesday, Sept. 19 (see more information see end of story). In 2011, Caltrans an-

nounced its preferred alternative for the I-5 widening, the “8 + 4 Buffer” alternative, which adds four managed lanes, separated from general purpose lanes by striping. This alternative adds 100 feet of highway, 50 feet on both sides, impacting 24 acres of coastal wetlands. The recently released supplement has information on the measures adopted to address coastal wetlands, proposed comSee DEIR, Page 6

cation activities like ranger talks or for people to come and meet friends,” said Susan Carter, deputy director of SDRP. “We’re well on our way to building it with a huge assistance in funding from Supervisor Pam SlaterPrice.” The county has been committed to help fund the project at the request of

Slater-Price, pledging $112,000. As a whole, the project will cost $330,000 and the river park is working with other donors for its completion. The JPA still needs to go through a permit process but they hope to be finished with the project by next summer, according to See ADDITIONS, Page 6

The City of Del Mar, with support of the North County Transit District (NCTD), will launch its wayside horn system on Sept. 14. The project, primarily funded by residents of the city, is meant to serve as a pilot for the region. The system’s horns — known as wayside horns — are directionally angled speakers fixed at a crossing that focus sound towards approaching traffic rather than a train’s multidirectional blasts. With a wayside horn system, conductors only sound their horns in dangerous or emergency situations. To ensure that the wayside horn system is working correctly and to protect the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and rail passengers, NCTD plans to test and commission the wayside horn system the week prior to the system going operational. The test and commissioning process will entail the following: •On Thursday, Sept. 6, at 8 a.m. the sound levels of the wayside horn were tested and calibrated to meet the required Federal Railroad Administration requirements, a minimum of 92 decibels at 100 feet from the track. •From Monday, Sept. 10 through Friday, Sept. 14, the wayside horn system will

be tested, which will include the sounding of the wayside horn as trains pass through the crossing, in addition to the regular sounding of train horns. •On Friday, Sept. 14 at 11:01 a.m., NCTD will fully initiate the Wayside Horn System and trains will no longer be required to sound their horns as they pass through the crossing. The project, which has been discussion and development for approximately two years, was funded by local residents of the City of Del Mar and NCTD to minimize the noise of train horns required to alert motorists and pedestrians about the proximity of trains. The wayside horn is not a replacement for the horn being used on the bluffs, as conductors sound the horn as required under regulations when they see people on the right of way. The Federal Railroad Administration regulates the use of warning signals and train horns at crossings. This project also included additional pedestrian safety enhancements to the crossing. For more information, contact the City of Del Mar’s Deputy Director of Public Works, Joe Bride, at (858) 755-3294.

Man accused of killing mother in Solana Beach to stand trial A man accused of killing his mother and mutilating her body in her Solana Beach home in 2010 has been found mentally competent to stand trial. Bryan Chang, 30, was arrested two days after the body of Sherry Chu Chang was found in January 2010, but was deemed incompetent and sent to a state mental hospital for treatment. A judge now says the defendant is able to understand the charges against him and can assist in his own defense. He is charged with murder and a special circumstance allegations of torture and murder for financial gain. — City News Service

ATM stolen from Grand Del Mar Two suspects stole an ATM from the Grand Del Mar around 2:50 a.m. on Aug. 31, according to San Diego Police Officer Frank Cali. Two males entered the Grand Del Mar Hotel at 5300 Grand Del Mar Court from the double doors next to the elevators. The males walked up to the ATM that was located next to the elevators with a handcart. The males loaded the ATM onto the handcart. The males took the ATM and fled the scene, Cali said. The ATM was later found in the 13600 block of Carmel Valley Road in an open field. The suspect’s descriptions are white males, 18 to 25 years old and they both were wearing dark-hooded sweatshirts that were covering their faces. Northwestern Division is investigating.

7-Eleven store in DM Heights area robbed A man robbed the 7-Eleven convenience store at 13835 Mango Dr. in Del Mar Heights early in the morning Aug. 30, according to San Diego Police Officer David Stafford. The robbery was reported at 2:24 a.m. Stafford said. A male suspect entered the store with a handgun. He displayed the gun and demanded cash from the clerk. The suspect fled with cash and was last seen on foot. The suspect was described as being 25-30 years old. He was wearing a black hoodie, black boots, and a black bandana over his face. There were no injuries. Police officers are investigating. Anyone with information related to the above incident is encouraged to call the listed Command handling the investigation or Crime Stoppers at 888-540-8477. — City News Service and police reports.

Cities to get added sand, video system for monitoring wave quality BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A video system will monitor changing surf conditions at beaches being replenished with sand, the San Diego chapter of the Surfrider Foundation announced recently. The $28 million beach restoration project by the San Diego Association of Governments is set to begin next month at several beaches, starting in Imperial Beach. When sand was added to the beach most recently, the waves improved for surfing in some spots and deteriorated in others, according to Julia Chunn-Heer, a Surfrider campaign coordinator.

Cameras set up by CoastalComs will enable remote monitoring of surf conditions at the beaches, Chunn-Heer said. A daily archive of images will be created to track changes in surf quality. According to SANDAG, the sand replenishment project will move on to Oceanside in early October, followed by Moonlight Beach and Cardiff State Beach in Encinitas and near the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad. In November, the replenishment will take place in Solana Beach and other areas along the shore in Carlsbad.

Scripps study shows how greater fault line slippage creates stronger earthquakes BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Scientists have discovered the mechanism in fault lines that can increase the magnitude of earthquakes, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography announced Aug. 29. The study, published in the Aug. 30 edition of the journal Nature, explains how a reduction in friction in rupturing faults leads to a snowball effect, resulting in events like the magnitude-9.0 quake off Japan in March 2011, according to Scripps. The process weakens high-stress areas of the fault, said Scripps scientists Kevin Brown and Yuri Fialko. They said the process is similar to how a skater’s blade reduces friction by melting the ice surface. “The process allows highly stressed areas to rapidly break down, acting like the weakest links in the chain,” said Brown, a professor in the Scripps Geosciences Research Division. “Even initially stable regions of a fault can experience runaway slip by this process if they are pushed at velocities above a key tipping point.” The greater slippage results in stronger earthquakes, according to the scientists. Their experiments were conducted in a laboratory where they could mimic quake processes. Last year’s quake off Japan led to a tsunami that ravaged certain coastal areas of northern Honshu and damaged harbors across the Pacific Ocean in California. “This may be relevant for how you get from large earthquakes to giant earthquakes,” Brown said. “We thought that large patches of the fault were just creeping along

An aerial image of the San Andreas fault as it crosses the Carrizo Plain 300 miles south of San Francisco. at a constant rate (off Japan), then all of a sudden they were activated and slipped to produce a mega earthquake that produced a giant tsunami.” According to Scripps, the findings also explain why the San Andreas Fault gives off so little heat from friction compared to the magnitude of the temblors it produces. A reduction in friction during a fault’s slippage will lower the amount of thermal energy produced, the scientists found. Their study was supported financially by the National Science Foundation. Future studies will include investigations about why the weakening occurs, if their findings apply to most or all common fault zone materials, and an attempt to locate weakening areas, according to Scripps.

Cathedral Catholic graduate named ‘Best New Cadet’ at West Point Cadet Clayton Bernard Jaksha, son of Dr. and Mrs. Steven Jaksha of Carmel Valley, entered West Point July 2 and recently completed six weeks of Cadet Basic Training (CBT) at the U.S. Military Academy. Jaksha earned the honor “Best New Cadet” out of approximately 1, 200 cadets from all over the country and several international countries. CBT is one of the most challenging events a cadet will encounter over the course of their four years at the academy. The initial military training program provides cadets with basic skills to instill discipline, pride, cohesion, confidence and a high sense of duty to prepare them for entry into the Corps of Cadets. Areas of summer instruction included first aid, mountaineering, hand grenades, rifle marksmanship and nuclear, biological, and chemical training. Jaksha began classes Aug. 20. The West Point curriculum offers 37 majors balancing physical sciences and engineering with humanities and social sciences leading to a bachelor of science degree. Jaksha graduated from Cathedral Catholic High School. He plans to graduate from West Point in 2016 and be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Regarding his Cadet basic Training experience, Jaksha said, “ I though CBT was challenging in many expected facets (physical training, loss of identity, lack of time); it presented as an atmosphere of growth. As a new cadet, you either had to rise to that challenge or flounder in your old identity. Many of my classmates made the mature move and made a conscious effort to ‘grow up,’ but those who failed to do so quickly changed their way or simply outprocessed. “Albeit, the growth came with much sweat and blood (there was no time to cry) not to mention the gray hairs that rose as a result of the 24/7 stress. However, at the end of the summer as I marched back carrying our class motto, I sensed that we weren’t done. That momentary respite at the end of Beast was just the first step on our 47-month experience in our ‘rockbound highland home’ (from the West Point traditional song ‘Benny Havens,

Oh!’).” Jaksha said his academic year so far has been memorable. “My CBT II squad leader told me that tackling those first few weeks at West Point is like ‘taking a bite out of steel. You can’t swallow everything West Point throws at you.’ As much as that holds true, adjusting to life at the Academy is moreso about proper planning and maintaining a goal-oriented, positive attitude. Everyone here is motivated by the prospect of lieutenant’s bars being pinned on their shoulder come graduation and, honestly, it would be impossible to make it through West Point without a burning desire to reach that end state. “There’s just too much here to gripe and moan about to waste your time griping and moaning; it’s not only unproductive, it’s false. The Academy has a leader development system in place that is in a constantly improving itself; the things people complain about are actually making them better leaders for their soldiers. Needless to say, West Point isn’t easy, but it’s teaching me the lessons that I’ll need when I step in front of a platoon and, without basis, expect them to follow me.”

101 continued from page 1 adding that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned about pedestriansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety because cars are temporarily traveling very close to the curb to make room for the trenching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has definitely hit us hard.â&#x20AC;? Pizza Port is one of several businesses on the west side of the 101, north of Lomas Santa Fe, that have been affected by the loss of parallel public street parking. While this has been an inconvenience since Aug. 27, City Manager David Ott said businesses will get their street parking back in October when contractors move on to the next phase of construction. The city is actually running about six weeks ahead of schedule on the estimated 15-month project, which

ADDITIONS continued from page 1 Shawna Anderson, environmental planner for SDRP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely exciting. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really pleased about the donations weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received and the ability to get to build it,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be an asset to the San Dieguito River Park and it will be open to the public at all times.â&#x20AC;? The river park went through a public design process for the whole site in 2009, resulting in the design of a lagoon nature center. In 2009, the cost of the center was estimated to be at $3.6 million to $5.5 million and the river park applied for a grant to get it built. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the grant so we turned our sights on

could decrease the construction time to 12 months or less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; meaning the project may culminate before next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse-racing season, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish by then, we will be in the last portion, which will result in limited road closures,â&#x20AC;? Ott said. Solana Beach is feeling the worst of the project right now. From the Beachwalk Retail Center, at 437 S. Highway 101, to Solana Vista Drive, vehicles traveling north or south are squeezed between construction cones and the curb, and are often moving slowly due to the reduction from two lanes in each direction to one. The two center lanes have become a trench filled with gravel piles, equipment and piping, making left turns across the median few and far between â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with easy-to-miss turn lanes made

from cones, vehicles traveling north often end up driving all the way to Cardiff or making mass U-turns to access the business on the west side of the 101. Councilwoman Lesa Heebner said the city has been getting some flak, in addition to a number of questions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why now, during the busy race season?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to understand itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 15-month project and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to span a whole year no matter when we start,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were to wait until after the races, that puts us in the El NiĂąo rainy season, and to do this work in the rainy season would be asking for trouble.â&#x20AC;? The first step in the project, which is under way, is ripping out the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storm drain infrastructure and repiping to bring it up to compliance. Being so close to the

ocean creates runoff and environmental hazards for Solana Beach if this portion of the project is not complete before the rainy season, which begins around November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the time we had to do it, and it makes sense,â&#x20AC;? Heebner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people ask me whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on when they see me, and when I explain everything to them they say they understand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like doing a remodel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When you are living in it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrible, but then when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great.â&#x20AC;?

City officials have added a new Frequently Asked Questions document on that page, based on common concerns and questions they have encountered.

our open-air classroom as it was a much smaller project and much more doable,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. Thanks to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding, they were able to revisit the 2009 outdoor classroom design and make a few changes, using the same architects, Roesling Nakamura Terada and landscape architect Spurlock Poirier. The amphitheater will be carved out of a slope that is already on the site in between two trails, the Coast to Crest Trail and the upper pedestrian trail. The Coast to Crest lagoon segment by the proposed amphitheater is a three-mile stretch for hikers, bicyclists and equestrians that runs from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the Del Mar Horsepark. When completed, the trail will run

from the beach to Vulcan Mountain near Julian. The lower pedestrian trail is just for walkers and is a quarter-mile long. The classroom will have tiered seating with a series of four rows and a stage at the bottom end. A shade canopy will be over the seating area that slopes upward like a birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wing. There will be permanent seating for 80 people but with temporary chairs on the stage area, the amphitheater could hold 120. New wood bridges built on the trail will lead into the classroom and salvaged boulders will be placed on the edges. The surrounding area will be planted with shrubs, Coastal Sage Scrub mix and riparian trees. A parking area is already in the works near the classroom. It will be covered with

decomposed granite and have 60 spaces that will serve trail users, the classroom and the future nature center. Currently, trail users have to park along San Andreas. The parking area is also close to the historic Strawberry Stand, which is now being used as a nursery. Plants grown in the nursery will soon fill holes in the lagoon area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks better and better every day,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said of the plant-filled nursery. Construction on the amphitheater could tentatively begin by the end of this year and the river park has not abandoned the plan to build out the nature center in full. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still want to do the nature center when the funding is available,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said.

Calling all Choristers: St. Nicholas Choristers seeks young voices Interested in giving your child a better grounding in music, and a classical performing experience? The St. Nicholas Chorister program, part of the music program at Del Mar’s St Peter’s Episcopal Church, is beginning its new season this September. Now that many local schools have cut or drastically reduced their existing music programs, the Chorister program is perfect for those who would like solid music instruction and to develop lifelong music and leadership skills. The St. Nicholas Choir is currently comprised of 14 boys and girls and is open to children ages 7 to 16, regardless of music experience or religious affiliation. (The only catch: Boys must have “unchanged” voices.) During the season, the choristers sing a Choral Eucharist once a month (SeptemberJune), as well as Choral Evensong on a semi-regular basis (held on the first Sunday of the month at 5 p.m.) Additional opportunities include caroling at the annual Del Mar Village Holiday festival, visits to Emeritus Assisted Living, Del Mar and singing Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols in late December. The program follows the Voice for Life chorister training scheme and is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music, America (www.rscmamerica.org). If you are interested, prospective choristers and parents are asked to schedule a meeting with Ruben Valenzuela (Director of Music) prior to the first rehearsal. Registration fees are as follows: $100 per child per semester (September-December and January-June), with a discount for siblings. Please note that there are choral scholarships available for those needing assistance. Rehearsals take place in the St. Peter’s Music Room on Wednesdays, from 4 p.m.-6 p.m., with a snack break. St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is located at 334 14th St., Del Mar, one block east of Highway 101. For more information, contact Music Director Ruben Valenzuela at rv.hypodorian@gmail.com.

Local student spends summer doing astronomical research in New Mexico In five intense weeks this summer, local resident Tomer MateSolomon, a senior at The Bishop’s School, operated a telescope to take digital images of a near-Earth asteroid, and wrote his own computer software to measure its position precisely and calculate its orbit around the sun. Tomer joined 35 other top science students from around the U.S. and the world for learning, late nights, and collaboration at the Summer Science Program (SSP) on the campus of the New Mexico Institute of Technology. Since 1959, bright teenagers have come to this unique program to spend their days in college-level lectures, and their nights imaging and measuring the speck of light from a distant asteroid. Years and even decades later, many alumni refer to Tomer Mate-Solomon SSP as “the educational experience of a lifetime.” Tomer and his colleagues worked closely with university professors, heard and met prominent guest speakers on a variety of topics, and enjoyed behind-the-scenes tours of the Very Large Array, Trinity Site on the White Sands Missile Range, and Magdalena Ridge Observatory. Prior to attending The Bishop’s School, Tomer was a student at Sage Canyon Elementary School and Carmel Valley Middle School. SSP is an independent nonprofit operated in cooperation with CalTech, MIT, New Mexico Tech and Westmont College. For more information, visit www.summerscience.org.

Teacher launching local interfaith Hands of Peace program year of the program, held in Chicago. The impact of the program can be seen in the ways the teens’ lives have changed, she said. “The change each of these students has undertaken is real and lasting,” Grad said. Some have decided to study in such fields as international relations and diplomacy, and others have joined peace organizations. They also come back to participate in Hands of Peace programs, telling younger students how the experience changed their view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the world around them, Grad said. One of Silk’s challenges in starting a San Diego version of Hands of Peace will be to drum up interfaith support, said Grad. “For a program like this to succeed, it has to have deep, steady support from the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities,” she said. The goal is to launch the first San Diego program

Program designed to bring high school students together BY JOE TASH Scott Silk wants to create a spark that can help change the world. Silk, who teaches Middle East and American history at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, is working to launch a program that brings Israeli, Palestinian and American high school students together to learn more about each other, share stories and, hopefully, become friends. “We want to sprinkle possible future leaders back into all these communities, future empathetic leaders,” he said. And the path to creating those future empathetic leaders begins with dialogue, he said. “Magic happens when you put people in the same room together and let them just talk,” said Silk. “They realize they have more in common most of the time than they have differences.” For the past eight years, Silk has worked with Hands of Peace, a nonprofit organization based in Chicago that holds annual summer retreats for students aged 16 through 18, from Israel, the Palestinian territories and the United States. This summer, the group held its 10th summer program, and now Silk is leading an effort to begin a sister program in San Diego’s coastal North County.

An informational meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 3306 Avenida Anacapa, in

Carlsbad. During the 17-day summer sessions, the teens participate in a variety of different activities, from drama and music, to sightseeing excursions. Students also attend services at a church, a synagogue and a mosque. But the heart of the program, Silk said, are the dialogue sessions. Hands of Peace takes no political positions, but no subject is off limits during the discussions. Tears are shed, but facilitators prevent any potential physical fights, Silk said. “These are heated discussions, but safe discussions.” “We believe peace is only possible if people can learn to talk to each other and we want to help people have that conversation,” he said.

Local resident gets educational, fulfilling experience from docent training San Elijo Lagoon docent open house scheduled Sept. 8 BY CLAIRE HARLIN When Erica Peterson responded to a flier calling for San Elijo Lagoon docents on a bulletin board at MiraCosta College nearly five years ago, she had no idea the impact on her life the experience would have. The Rancho Santa Fe resident has been leading student tours about once a week through the 915-acre reserve, which borders Solana Beach to the north and stretches from Escondido to Rancho Santa Fe. The lagoon is a biodiversity hot spot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of few remaining wetlands in Southern California. Schools from Carmel Val-

ley/Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Vista and Escondido have all participated in the educational field trips there, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a growing area that is in need of volunteer docents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids get so excited to see the shore birds jumping through the lagoon and fish jumping out of the water,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can take them for an hour walk around the lagoon, but when they see the opening to the ocean and we are lucky enough to see the egrets at low tide, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay there for half an hour just watching.â&#x20AC;? The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy will hold its docent open house on Sept. 8 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center, located at 2710 Manchester Ave. in Cardiff. Representa-

tives from the conservancy will discuss the 2013 fall docent training, which will consist of an eight-week training covering the ecology and history of the reserve. The training will also offer practical tips on interpretive techniques and how to lead groups of students and adults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These volunteers are ambassadors of environmental stewardship,â&#x20AC;? said conservancy director Doug Gibson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our docents value their experiences in connecting children and adults with the beauty and wonder in one of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest coastal wetlands.â&#x20AC;? Docents can dedicate however much time they want, whether it be one tour a week or one tour a month. They can lead either kids or

sists of shadowing an experienced docent for at least six tours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a time commitment in that you have to educate yourself through this

program,â&#x20AC;? said Peterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers expect a high level of expertise from the docents.â&#x20AC;? Peterson added that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense of camaraderie built within the group of about 75 existing docents, and they even plan social events occasionally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody who does it is so nice and so friendly and comes from a variety of backgrounds,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so great.â&#x20AC;?

Guest column/Commentary

‘What’s going on along the 101?’ BY SOLANA BEACH COUNCIL MEMBERS LESA HEEBNER AND MIKE NICHOLS, MEMBERS OF THE HIGHWAY 101 AD HOC COMMITTEE “What’s going on along the 101?” The Solana Beach City Council has heard this question frequently of late! The purpose of this column is to answer this and other questions about the Highway 101 renovation project and help both the public and the business community better understand what is being planned along our City’s “Main Street.” PROJECT GOAL AND DESIGN The current condition of the 101 does not encourage pedestrian activity, provide adequate parking, accommodate bicycles or properly manage stormwater drainage. The goal of this project is correct all of these existing deficiencies. It’s been carefully designed to create an environment that will support our local businesses, encourage a more walk-able and bike-able community, and enhance our City’s quality of life. We anticipate it will also encourage the development of new outdoor dining and retail venues to help Solana Beach prosper economically and better serve its residents and visitors. Upon completion, Highway 101 will have wider sidewalks lined with street trees, landscaping, benches, bike racks, new light poles and 11 uniquely designed gathering spaces along the corridor. In addition, there will be 30 additional public parking spaces added by changing the existing parallel parking to angled (nose-in) parking, while maintaining two-lanes of traffic in the north- and south-bound directions. There will also be four new pedestrian crosswalks added to connect the west side of the street with the Coastal Rail Trail (east) side of the street. These crosswalks will occur at the Cliff Street bridge, at the end of the pedestrian bridge at the Transit Station across to Pizza Port, at Estrella Street, near T’s Café, and midway between Lomas Santa Fe and Dahlia Street at The Executive Plaza. To accomplish all of these improvements, the existing medians will be narrowed. New medians will be constructed which will contain twice as many trees as before, plus additional landscaping. PROJECT AREA The proposed improvements follow the Highway 101 Master Plan adopted by the City Council in 2005, which spans from Dahlia Street (Bank of America) to the south, to Cliff Street (Moreland Motorcycles) to the north. If you have not seen the current version of the plans at one of the City’s workshops or public hearings, please visit the City’s website at www.cityof SolanaBeach. org and click on “Highway 101 Westside Improvement Project,” or visit City Hall for additional information. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The City Council held numerous public hearings and public workshops over the last seven years on the development of these plans, with resulting newspaper and online articles. The current plans have been adjusted several times in response to comments received from the public, bicycle groups and local businesses. Additionally, the property owners along Highway 101 also had workshops and individual meetings with the design consultants and City staff so their particular concerns were addressed. FINANCING & COST In an era of municipal bankruptcies, service cuts and budget shortfalls, how can we afford this? The Transnet sales tax, approved by voters countywide in 2004, dedicates a third of its revenue to projects just like this, local road improvements. Solana

Beach tagged on to a large “Build America Bond” offering by SANDAG, at the historically low rate of 3.86 percent, for $5.5 million of this $7 million project. The ongoing income from this half-cent sales tax to pay off our bonds was conservatively estimated. SCHEDULE – WHY START NOW? The answer to this question has to do with the tremendous scope of work and duration of the project, the sequence of construction, the avoidance of potential weather delays and related increased costs, and the need for critical storm drain repairs before the rains this year. It is important to note, that our City Manager and other construction professionals involved with this project made the educated decision to start when they did with the goal of minimizing inconvenience, addressing environmental factors, and reducing construction costs. The first task of this extensive 15-month renovation is to remove, replace and relocate the water lines and storm drains along the new medians. Upon installation of the water lines and storm drains, the new medians will be constructed. At that point work will be transferred from the middle of the street to the west side of the street to complete the sidewalks, gathering places and parking improvements. As we have all experienced, this first phase of work has caused disruption of traffic along Highway 101. But, the completion of the storm drain improvements in phase one of the project was critical to perform at this time — before the rainy season begins. Our existing storm drain infrastructure is in very bad shape as witnessed by the major flooding that occurred at Ocean Avenue a few years ago during a rainstorm. The storm drain work takes three to four months to complete, so it had to start during the summer to make the looming deadline for rains anticipated later this year. We anticipate it will be done by mid October or before. If we would have waited until mid-September (after the horse races) to begin, we would not have completed the storm water work in time for the rainy season and likely would have incurred additional costs of construction due to delays from weather, as well as risked flooding and wastewater flows into our ocean. If we waited until after the rainy season and started work in the Spring of 2013, we would also incur considerable costs in extra interest totaling approximately $157,000, and construction would have spanned into the 2013 fair and horse racing seasons. Needless to say, no matter when it started, this project would span every month of the year, potentially impacting either one or two summers, holiday seasons, rainy seasons, spring breaks, the Del Mar Horse Races or the Fair. LOOKING FORWARD This project is a major accomplishment that our City has been working on and waiting for a very long time! In fact, our city has pursued this project for over 20 years, and now it is finally a reality due to a lot of hard work by a lot of people. We understand that the current construction is a major disruption, but we hope that you will see that the long term benefit of this much-anticipated project to our community’s economic sustainability and quality of life will far outweigh the short term inconvenience we are currently experiencing. We also ask that now, more than ever, our residents and visitors support our local businesses by continuing to visit and shop along Highway 101 as you monitor the progress of this great investment being made in our community!

Business offers cutting-edge technology for total home automation Southwest Audio Visual co-owner says company can improve homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Internet connectivity BY CLAIRE HARLIN Imagine a state-of-theart home that electronically greets guests upon arrival, has built-in speakers throughout, automatic shades, gates, showers, TVs and lighting, and security cameras that survey every inch with high detail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all controlled by an application on your iPad. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even half of what the techies at Southwest Audio Visual (SWAV) can do for your home, because when it comes to home automation, the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to do the most you can with the least amount of human interaction,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Diez, coowner of the Solana Beachbased business. For example, SWAV had a client who automated his bathroom with motion sensors, so when he wakes up and walks in between 6 and 9 a.m., the lights and shower turn on, MSNBC comes on the TV and his favorite radio station starts playing. Other clients have designed home theaters or installed high-end audio visual equipment such as TV projectors

Bill Kauzlarich, left, and Jim Diez, owners of Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southwest Audio Visual and audio systems, all operated with one central device. For automated audio systems, the users also have basically every musical choice at their fingertips â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they can hook it up to a record player or iTunes, or access a number of Internet platforms like Pandora or Rhapsody.

SWAV has also developed systems to save energy in the house by automating all things that use electricity. Along with that comes a customized energy monitoring system that shows every aspect of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usage at the homeowners fingertips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The client tells me exactly what they want, and

we design it,â&#x20AC;? Diez said. Our lives are increasingly driven by technology and the Internet, and the functionality of a home is no different. When building or updating a home, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to make audio-visual considerations early in the process, Diez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people think

what we do is an afterthought, and they think about technology after getting the electrician, designers and cabinet guys in there,â&#x20AC;? Diez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are wiring your home for the technology of the future, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make considerations early on you are doing yourself a disservice or you may have to go back and make changes to keep up with technology.â&#x20AC;? For example, as more and more household necessities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as TV, music, appliances and handheld devices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are powered by the Internet, it becomes more crucial to have a strong and reliable Internet connection throughout the home. SWAV can produce best results in a home and prepare homeowners for technological advances by being part of the building and design process and wiring the home for a functional network. Diez said SWAV is also proficient in helping homes with poor Internet connection improve its connectivity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know how to reset the modem, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what people can pay us for.â&#x20AC;? Diez and his business partner, Bill Kauzlarich, used to work as head technicians at a large company, but their passion for home automation had been brewing for a while. So when that company shut down, the two started SWAV the very next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got into this business, home automation was just [beginning], but in the last couple of years it has really grown,â&#x20AC;? said Diez, who doubles as a guitarist in the local band Jesse LaMonaca and The Dime Novels. Diez and Kauzlarich are also certified Apple technicians, and can serve as a local alternative to calling the support line or visiting the Apple store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are certified to the gills,â&#x20AC;? said Diez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go through a lot of training, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much the only way we can stay on top of technology.â&#x20AC;?

School districts can save money through a variety of options Marsha Sutton’s column about special education costs on Aug. 30 makes it seem like disabled children are spoiled, lavished with expensive and extravagant services. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Parents of disabled children advocate and fight for basic rights that typical children’s parents take for granted — the ability to have your child in an appropriate placement in your local school close to home (instead of placed in a severe special day class because the mild-moderate one is full or being bused up to 25 miles away home); the ability to observe your child in class (instead of being restricted to 30 minutes per month with a district staff escort); and receiving truthful information about your child’s needs, available options, and rights from district staff (instead of being misled). Receiving needed services (such as an aide) or placement at a higher level of care (nonpublic, residential) are usually provided only after proven failure has occurred (causing the child to regress or lack of progress for months or years), or the parents have hired an expensive advocate and engaged in hours of contentious and stressful IEP meetings or court hearings. So these services and higher placements are likely utilized only by children with the most severe needs instead of being readily available to any child with special needs, which would have been helpful to more clearly point out in the article to readers.

If school districts wanted to save money they could offer appropriate placements in the child’s local school rather than placing disabled children in schools far from home, increasing transportation costs. They could encourage parents to transport children and welcome them to bring their child to class. They could provide services instead of spending more than the services cost in legal fees fighting parents in court. School districts could also prevent placement of children in non-public schools through more district placement options and more highly trained staff. If one district mentioned in the column offered comparable pay/benefits to nearby districts they may be able to attract more highly trained aides and teachers from nearby districts who would have the ability to maintain children successfully in lower cost district placements. No one argues that the State of California should not pass unfunded mandates and that districts face very challenging times of difficult financial decisions. I wish the column had focused more on that or on how district choices drive up costs rather than making it seem like districts voluntarily offer up a vast menu of expensive, extravagant, and unnecessary services to disabled children that take valuable funds away from typical children.

This “gray” (as in concrete) faction, often guided by realtor Tom Pearson, sought to weaken or circumvent the Community Plan. By 1988, after epic struggles over the Del Mar Plaza shopping center, L’Auberge Del Mar hotel, and a Beach Protection Initiative, the “green” faction had won a 5-0 majority. Their allies have held a council majority ever since, but with ever less color-coding. As few large developments have been proposed since the 1980s, Del Mar politics gradually became less polarized. These days, the most contentious issue is the proposed Village Specific Plan to make Del Mar more pedestrian-friendly. The VSP would increase densities in the business district, widen sidewalks, add apartments above businesses on the west side of Camino del Mar, narrow the coast highway to one

lane in each direction, and replace traffic lights and stop signs with roundabouts. Voters will determine the fate of the VSP in November. Opponents promise a vigorous campaign. Hopefully the money and energy that would have been expended in a contested council election can be diverted into other important races in our region — for county supervisor (Dave Roberts vs. Steve Danon), for Congress (Scott Peters vs. incumbent Brian Bilbray), for San Diego mayor (Bob Filner vs. Carl DeMaio) and city council (incumbent Sherry Lightner vs. Ray Ellis). Our future is at stake. Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail. sdsu.edu.

Will the Village Specific Plan redevelop Del Mar? Let’s take a look. What’s the most developable property in town? Probably the vacant lot at the southeast corner of 13th Street, located diagonally across from the library. The Del Mar Village Specific Plan (VSP), if passed, will provide increased height limits and an increased floor area ratio . . . and if the property owner is willing to give all the parking to the City as public parking, the VSP will allow SANDAG parking standards. So is that enough incentive to develop this vacant lot? The issue is park-

ing. City records show that this property is burdened by two off-site parking easements: 18 off-site spaces for Sbicca and seven offsite spaces for Board & Brew . . . plus another 10 on-site spaces for the 3,131-square-foot building housing Prudential Real Estate. Give that there’s only 25 total parking spaces on the property, this property is currently seven spaces short of compliance with Del Mar’s parking ordinance. If redeveloped, this property could probably have a 40-car underground parking garage accessed

only one applicant — and that would be the right person for the job. The recent trend of uncontested elections stands in sharp contrast to the intensity of Del Mar politics in earlier times. In the 1970s, a council majority was captured by candidates favoring environmental protection and planned growth, including Richard Rypinski and a very young Tom Shepard (now working for Democrat Bob Filner after a career as a Republican political consultant). Community workshops led to the creation in 1976 of the Del Mar Community Plan, which became the constitution of the village and the mission statement of the environmentalist or “green” faction. In the 1980s, congruent with the presidency of Ronald Reagan, the council was captured by conservative, business-friendly candidates.

Just election year dodging Give me a break. Sherrie Lightner’s [spokesperson] Mel Millstein says it is not possible to take a position on or for the city’s Real Estate Division to act on the polo fields’ lease because the final EIR (environmental impact report) document has not been released. Then, in the same breath, he says construction is due to start 2014. Total nonsense. If construction is going to start in 2014 the engineering planning is already well along. The EIR is already vetted and will be a rubber stamp. Nothing more than election year dodging and delaying a controversial issue because it might cost a few votes one way or the other. Typical Lightner. Empty suit. Pat Stewart Del Mar

from the alley, with a building site above. Since 25 spaces are already committed for off-site restaurants, it can’t qualify for SANDAG parking standards, and only 15 of the 40 spaces could count towards the parking inventory of the new building. It’s doubtful that any developer could justify spending millions of dollars for major excavation, a new 40-car parking garage and a new 4,500-squarefoot building to replace the existing 3,131-square-foot building. Thus, the VSP provides no solution for development of this beauti-

ful corner lot. Half the downtown is in the same situation: either the properties have been enriched far beyond their ability to provide parking for the uses which the City has already granted to them, or else they’ve been encumbered by Covenants and recordings that prevent their re-development . . . and the VSP, if passed in November, will provide no solution. If I’m missing something here, I invite Del Mar’s Planning Department to explain it. George Conkwright 1201 Camino del Mar

Arguments against plan don’t hold water Referring to the Del Mar Community Plan, Ralph Peck argues that the Village Specific Plan should not encourage housing within the C-Zone. These arguments do not hold water on a number of levels. Firstly, while Goal 3(E) of the Community Plan encourages low-cost housing in certain zones within the city it does not appear to restrict such housing to those areas. The Community Plan’s Goal 3(D) encourages housing for a diverse range of age and socio-economic groups within the community. The Plan does not specify where such housing should be located. While Mr. Peck’s initial arguments are against low-cost housing he goes on to suggest that “housing is not really compatible with the primary uses of commerce in a small neighborhood village.” To the contrary, it makes sense to encourage housing in commercial areas. People living in the centre help stimulate economic activity because they can shop where they

live. This helps reduce vehicular traffic on the streets and makes the sidewalks livelier. Village residents also have more immediate access to public transport. Research shows they use it! Towns and cities around the globe are encouraging central area living to enhance sustainability and to make their places safer. Finally, even if the Community Plan had limited housing to certain areas it can be noted that it dates to 1976, when rigid separation of landuse activities was rife in planning. Nearly 40 years later it would be appropriate to amend a plan if it was found to not reflect the current will of residents. My understanding is that the Village Specific Plan has followed a robust process of community involvement. That Mr. Peck disagrees with the outcome is certainly no reason to reject the plan.

Farewell, Neil ... I was shocked and extremely saddened to hear of Neil Armstrong’s untimely passing. America and the entire world will miss this courageous first human to leave the planet Earth and set foot on the moon. When I knew him he was a specimen of health, dedicated to the Apollo mission, and served as an example to all who worked with him. Neil was the only astronaut assigned to follow the Apollo Mission Simulator when I was the project manager during its early development phases, and I had the privilege of spending time with him. Of course, nobody knew that he would go down in the annals of history and discovery. Less than five years ago Neil responded to my email: “I was delighted to read your letter and learn of your autobiography ... I was interested in your remarkable history and believe that the readers will enjoy learning about all the obstacles you overcame in becoming a significant participant in the Apollo program. I send you my very best wishes. Neil A.” The image of young Neil Armstrong is etched in my memory and I will miss him.

Education Matters/Opinion The cost of special education: Part II BY MARSHA SUTTON The cost of providing special education services can be up to 20 percent of a school district’s entire budget, as discussed in last week’s column. In the San Dieguito Union High School District, special education costs can be: •up to $15,000 per student for transportation •from $83,000 to $135,000 per child for placement in residential programs •$88,000 per child to provide outpatient mental and physical health services •$35,000 per child for tuition to private, specialized San Diego County day schools •about $40,000 per aide for instructional assistants, often one-on-one •about $65,000 in average salaries for specially trained classroom teachers Special education students deserve to have services to meet their unique needs, just as other students receive programming to suit their interests, and no one denies this right. Yet the high cost of providing services that are legally required yet unfunded by federal and state authorities leaves already squeezed school districts struggling to pay. Last school year, special education cost San Dieguito about $19 million, a number that’s expected to rise again this year if the pattern holds true. To reduce costs and improve services for special education students, SDUHSD has developed a unique plan to open “a school within a school” in the district next fall. This school would accommodate students who are currently being transported at school district expense to and from home every day to attend nonpublic schools throughout San Diego County. The cost to provide educational services for these students, 42 of them in 2010-2011, was nearly $1.5 million, without transportation. Add another $630,000, at $15,000 per student, when transportation is factored in. Although there are expenses associated with implementing the new program, bringing these kids back to a district school would save a good chunk of the $2.13 million the district now spends on tuition and transportation for

Marsha Sutton this group of students. “It’s pretty clear we’ve got a lot of kids who need lots of support that costs lots of money, and our aim is to find a way to do it closer to home, more efficiently and with our own professionals,” said Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services. The conventional wisdom, he said, is that school districts are not equipped to handle severely disabled, emotionally disturbed students. “We believe we are and are going to try to bring back some students to programs where we feel we can run them equal or better than the private programs for much less cost,” he said. An in-house class saves money in two ways: it eliminates tuition to expensive private schools and lowers transportation costs. The district would still need to transport many of these kids to and from school, but the distance would be far less, reducing the cost. And the money the district would save on special day school tuition well exceeds what it would cost the district to provide special education services, including special ed. teachers and professional health care, at one of its own schools. As an added bonus, it allows children to attend school closer to home and integrate into mainstream campus life, even if for only a limited time daily. Tentatively called Seaside Prep, the class would be located at Torrey Pines High School and is proposed to open next fall, in 2013, with about 15 students. The second year, the district hopes to accommodate 30, and the third year up to 40. Because Torrey Pines has room, the current plan is to renovate and utilize existing unused classrooms on the southeast corner of the campus near the foot-

ball stadium. “The kids would be on campus but it would be like a school within a school,” Schmitt said. “They’d have access to the facility but not in a traditional mainstream way. It would be independent but on the campus.” Schmitt said these kids, many of whom are autistic, are diplomabound, so the special education staff would support the regular education staff. In addition, the district would provide, as needed, a staff psychologist, a mental health therapist, a rehabilitation assistant, a nurse and other health care professionals. Many of these professionals are already working for the district, moving from school to school. When the special education class opens in 2013, Schmitt said some people would be placed at Torrey Pines. Even though health care specialists would need to be hired, Schmitt said it would still cost less than sending the students to an off-site school. “We believe it would be less expensive and a win just in terms of bringing kids back to our own community,” he said. Most parents, he said, want their kids to stay in the neighborhood, be closer to home and attend their local schools if possible, so there has been little pushback to the idea. “They’d rather have their kid at a comprehensive school even though they aren’t in the mainstreamed program,” he said. Although all cases would be reviewed individually, “we have students who we believe would be a really good fit to bring back,” Schmitt said. No judgments The San Dieguito Union High School District serves about 12,300 students in grades 7-12, with about 10 percent of its student population qualifying for a range of special education services. Schmitt said there are 13 official conditions for special education, and within those are different levels of disabilities. These children may need any number of different specialists that districts are required to provide, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, psy-

chologists, psychiatrists, physicians and other support services. “We’re obligated to take care of their needs,” said Schmitt, pointing out that the district provides different programs for all kinds of kids – Advanced Placement, honors, remedial, intervention, co-curricular, extra-curricular and more. “Special ed. kids are no different.” Two terms in the law are applicable for children needing special education: Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). As former Solana Beach School District superintendent Leslie Fausset explained, “Special education kids have a right to be included in mainstream classes as much as possible and have an absolute right to free public education.” For all special education kids, “the goal is to move them out of the program, or move them from a more restrictive to a less restrictive environment,” Schmitt said. “The intent is to provide training, skills and support so they can be more independent. We have a lot of kids who exit special ed.” The district, Schmitt emphasized, is not trying to avoid providing necessary services for kids who need it, but rather to find ways to do it more efficiently – better, for less money. “For really good reasons, educating these kids costs more money. It’s just does,” he said. “But our belief is it shouldn’t cost as much as it does, and we’ve got some ideas on how to address that.” Although he said the class represents a way “to work more efficiently to provide better and more services for kids at a lower cost,” the expense of providing special education services will still encroach on the district’s general fund. The first year of the new class the district expects to pay about $500,000 for classroom and facility renovation, furniture, equipment and other materials and supplies. “We were going to try and break even in the first year, but more than likely it would cost $100,000 to $150,000 over and above the Year One savings,” Schmitt estimated. The savings, he said, would come in later years – $400,000 in Year Two, up to $600,000 in Year Three, and more in future years. “Increased savings would come from an increase in student

enrollment,” he said. It’s important to care for these kids appropriately while understanding the dilemma for school districts as they struggle to find ways to reduce costs without impacting essential programs. Knowledge alone, though, is nothing without compassion and a caring heart. When Schmitt was developing his ideas for the new class at Torrey Pines, he told his team not to make judgments about costs versus needs. As he was laying out the numbers, his advice was, “Don’t judge. Here’s what we’ve got.” Good advice. Understanding how much special education costs and why it costs so much can lead to innovative thinking, greater efficiency and improved services. No judgments. Special education children deserve the best services we can offer to support their physical, emotional and academic development. More power to those school districts creating ways to do just that for lower costs. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

DEBATE continued from page 1 3-minute opening statements from Lightner and Ellis, and then launch into their answers to questions from the community. The News/Times staff will grill the candidates about traffic congestion, infrastructure and environmental issues, and some social concerns, but your thoughts and insights are needed, too. Mark the date on your calendar and be sure to stop by and listen to the discourse. This election will be close! You may recall that in the June primary Ray Ellis received 14,133 (45.61 percent) of the votes cast and Sherri Lightner got 12,889 (41.59 percent). Each prom-

ises to lead and intercede for local residents, but there is a lot of work and a variety of plans on the horizon. Who can best help deliver them? This newspaper group thanks Professor Kousser for agreeing to moderate the debate. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2002) and is an expert in state politics, legislatures and legislative elections. The debate will be videotaped and available on delmartimes.net the next day. Please send the questions you want answered via email by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, to executive editor Lorine Wright at editor@rsfreview.com.

Torrey Pines Jr Midgets (D2) defeat the Carlsbad Lancers 16-0 BY BILL BUTLER The Torrey Pines Falcons outplayed the Carlsbad Lancers in all phases of the game in a weekend match at Falcons Stadium. The Lancers received the opening kickoff and managed one first down before turning the ball over to the Falcons near midfield. Staying primarily on the ground, the Falcons marched down the field behind the runs of Jackie Plashkes, Zac Friedland, Beau Morgans, and Nick Clapp, a Conner Whitton to Scotty Gange pass, and a QB keeper by Whitton. The Falcons marched inside the Carlbad 10yard line before the Lancers’ defense stiffened, and there was a turnover on downs. Carlsbad could not move the ball, as the Falcon line of Kevin Misak, Tucker Pike, Jack Nelson, CJ Ackell, and Nick Zimmer were applying strong pressure on the Lancers. Anything that got past the line was promptly dropped by Torrey Pines’ fine group of linebackers and defensive backs, namely Louie Bickett, Garth Erdossy, and Plashkes flanked by Clapp, Brandon Ray, and Morgans. The Lancers were forced to punt from their end zone. Friedland took the punt at the 43, started right and then cut left behind good blocking, broke a few arm tackles, and finished the return in the end zone to give the Falcons a 6-0 lead late in the first quarter. Ray snapped for the extra point try, Whitton held, and Pike kicked it true to make the early lead 8-0. The Lancers put forth a strong effort to move the ball from inside their own 20 yard line to midfield but could move no farther. Torrey Pines took over at midfield as time was expiring in the first half. A couple of passes were just out of reach, and the half ended with the ball near midfield.

Clapp took the kickoff for the second half back to the Lancer 47-yard line on a nice return up the middle of the field. Jake Boone then took the handoff and ran hard up the middle for 13 yards and a first down at the 34. At that point, the drive stalled as the QB had to throw the pass away or take a sack, a run lost a yard, and a second pass was off target. Pike punted the ball out of bounds at the 20-yard line as the ball skidded off the side of his foot. On first down, Carlsbad picked up 5 yards on a nice run, but the defense stacked up a run for no gain, as Zimmer, Pike, and Bickett met the runner at the line. A pass was overthrown, and Carlsbad punted out of bounds at their own 39. A run gained one yard and a pass fell incomplete before the Falcons executed a nice pitch to Friedland headed left. He cut the run inside and ran past the defenders for 38 yards and a TD. Another well executed extra point try made the score 16-0, Falcons. That would be the final score, as Carlbad could mount no sustained drives. The Falcons were marching just before the game ended, biting off large hunks of yards on the ground, but they let the clock expire with the ball on the Lancer 5-yard line. The Falcons will meet a good team from Oceanside on the Pirates’ field next week.

She has played soccer since she was 4 years old and played for the University of Portland, leading them to their first national championship in any sport. Misaki went on to play professionally for the Women’s United Soccer Association’s (WUSA) Philadelphia Charge and for the Toyko Verdy in Japan. Before moving to San Diego for the Sharks gig, she was coaching and doing private lessons in the Santa Clarita area and was the director of the girls’ side of Saddleback United Soccer Club. “My goals this year are to have a successful fall season

and to learn more about the community,” Misaki said. “I want to get to know all the players and families involved. It’s a huge program, over 200 volunteer coaches are involved, and I want to build relationships and get to know everyone.” One example of that special volunteer element of the club is coach Beth Folkerth, who played for the fledgling Del Mar Soccer Club in the late 1970s — her mother, Lenora, was the chairman of the club that would become the Sharks. MacMillan said it’s pretty special to see a player come full circle. MacMillan is a fellow soccer alumni of the University of Portland, who has been with the Sharks for four years after being an assistant soccer coach at UCLA. MacMillan was part of the 1999 World Cup champion U.S. Women’s National Team and has won three Olympic soccer medals (two gold and one silver). She also played professionally for the WUSA’s San Diego Spirit. “I’ve been very blessed with my soccer career,” said MacMillan. “I think soccer can teach you a lot of life lessons. It teaches kids about teamwork, it teaches about overcoming obstacles, leadership, problem solving and time management…Soccer helps gives kids the tools they need to be successful, keep healthy and out of trouble.” In addition to her administrative duties, MacMillan also coaches an U-13 competitive girls team. Misaki will also fill in for player skills clinics and as a coach if needed. The Sharks also run a TOPS (The Outreach Program for Soccer) special needs program for players ages 13 to 25. The TOPS program starts on Sept. 15 and is run by paid coach Becky Ricci, who is also a special education teacher. Teams practice one day a week and have scrimmages. “It’s a lot of fun,” MacMillan said. “They just play for the true love and passion of the game. It’s pretty amazing.” Registration is still open for the TOPS program. For more information on DMCV Sharks, visit dmcvsharks.com.

Carmel Valley Dons Mitey Mite Team defeats the Steele Canyon Cougars The Carmel Valley Dons Mitey Mite team was victorious against the Steele Canyon Cougars on Aug. 25, winning by a score of 12-0. With temperatures in the upper 80s on the field, the team stay focused and hydrated, and shut the Cougar offense down completely. #44 Logan Awana and #57 Sy Fanua partnered on defense and kept the Cougars out of scoring position for the entire game. Dons’ #2 Aidan Stewart scored the 1st touchdown midway through the first half, and with less than 2 minutes left in the game, #50 Ryan Bouzan scored the Dons’ 2nd touchdown after a key block from #37 Clarke Johnson to seal the win. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football was formed in 2010 to create a highly competitive Division 1 football program in the Carmel Valley area aimed at preparing top athletes for high school football. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, much of the team’s success can be attributed to the support of Varsity Head Coach, Sean Doyle and Athletic Director, David Smola. For information about the league, visit www.cvdons.com.

‘Although unintended, this play has a real gut connection to today’s world.’

Q&A

The Rev. Brian Fidler draws inspiration from the students he counsels The Rev. Brian Fidler joined The Bishop’s School as Interim Chaplain in 2011, bringing a passion for the spiritual nurture of academic communities spanning more than 30 years. An East Coast native, he has spent all but three years of his ministry as a chaplain, teacher, and coach. He has taught in the fields of religion, ethics, service-learning, and history, and has coached soccer and baseball, served as an advisor and class sponsor, supervised dormitories, and served the spiritual needs of the several boarding and day schools in which he has worked. At Bishop’s, Rev. Fidler teaches the eighth-grade class, World Religions, and Rev. Brian Fidler the upper school elective, History of the Holocaust. In his role as chaplain he also supports diversity initiatives and leads Chapel services. What brought you to The Bishop’s School in La Jolla? The Bishop’s School was looking for a Chaplain and I fell in love with the school; the location of La Jolla was icing on the cake. Alright, a whole lot of icing! If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Of the several schools I’ve served most of them have been located in idyllic countryside settings. Moving to a major metropolitan area has reminded me of the plight of the homeless and those who struggle at or below the poverty level. These are complex problems with complex solutions, but if I could snap my fingers and have it done, these are the conditions I would want to improve. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by the thousands of young people I have taught over the last 33 years. They are filled with so much energy, so much hope, and so many dreams, that no matter what else I may be feeling, they energize and inspire me! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

MARK PINTER, director

‘The Underpants’ a satisfying satirical farce Steve Martin adapted Carl Steinheim’s 1910 play BY DIANA SAENGER Can politics be shrouded in a cloud of humor? That was the intention of playwright Carl Sternheim when in 1910 he penned the farce “Die Hose.” In 2002, comedian Steve Martin adapted Sternheim’s send-up of bourgeois snobbery and conformity in his version, “The Underpants,” which makes its San Diego premiere on Sept. 8 to open the North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 31st season. The play centers on a woman whose underwear slips to her ankles in the middle of town and causes a public scandal. Director Mark Pinter points out that such an incident today would be almost unnoticeable, but in 1910 it was shocking. “Carl Sternheim was a Jew and a playwright who was forced to flee Germany in 1912,” Pinter said. “His script (initially banned) was really a comment on the German middle class and meant to be very political, but Sternheim was cleverly referencing the underbelly of society in humorous ways. Steve Martin has put his twist on the play, admitting he couldn’t resist it speaking to him in modern terms. ‘The Underpants’ is an unabashed farce with sight gags and rimshot jokes.” It goes like this … Theobald Maske (Matthew Henerson) is worried about renting out a room in his flat and try-

Del Mar resident Brad Ausmus hired as Team Israel manager Former Major League catcher to take reins for 2013 World Baseball Classic

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SARA APPEL-LENNON Former San Diego Padres catcher Brad Ausmus, 43, said he can walk in his Del Mar neighborhood without being recognized since he only played for the San Diego Padres for three years, from 1993-1996. “I’m just like anyone else. Works for me” said Ausmus. But Ausmus played in the Major League a lot longer. Ausmus retired in 2010 after 18 seasons as a Major League catcher with the San Diego Padres, Houston Astros, Detroit Tigers, Colorado Rockies, and Los Angeles Dodgers. His career achievements include: 1999 American League All-Star team as a Detroit Tiger.; three-time Golden Glove Award winner (2001, 2002, 2006); 2004 inducted into the National Jewish Museum Sports Hall of Fame; played in the 2005 World Series; and 2007 Darryl Kile Award for Integrity and Courage. (After high school graduation in 1987, Ausmus signed with the Yankees just before attending Dartmouth. He

would go to college in the fall and winter, and play in the minors during the spring and summer.) However, Ausmus credits his wife, Liz, for his greatest accomplishment — his two daughters, since she raised them when he was gone during the summers. Ausmus now stays fit by working out five to six days per week. He is currently serving as special assistant to the San Diego Padres. Ausmus coaches catchers in minor and major leagues and works in the baseball operation’s front office. In addition, for the first time, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association invited an Israeli baseball team to be an international contender in the upcoming World Baseball Classic (WBC). Last November, Haim Katz, Israel Association of Baseball (IAB) president, and IAB Secretary General Peter Kurz met with former Major League Baseball players Ausmus, Shawn Green and Gabe Kapler to join Team Israel. They all agreed it would be an

Israeli team manager Brad Ausmus, Israeli President Shimon Peres and Dan Shapiro, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel PHOTO/US EMBASSY IN TEL AVIV honor. Kurz hired Ausmus as Team Israel manager. Ausmus has contacted many current and former Jewish Major League baseball players to take the field for Team Israel. Shawn Green, considered the best Jewish player since Sandy Koufax, retired in 2007. He will be a player/hitting coach. Gabe Kapler, the “Hebrew Hammer” known for his Jewish star tattoo, played in the 2004 World Series, and retired in 2010. He will be a player/bench coach. Jason Hirsh will be a pitcher. WBC rules permit a team member to represent a country if the member or parent is

eligible for the country’s citizenship. In 2006 and 2009 some American Major League Players represented Italy, South Africa, and the Netherlands under citizenship laws. Israel’s Law of Return grants Israeli citizenship to a team member if the member or spouse has one Jewish parent or grandparent. Ausmus’ mother and grandparents are Jewish. The WBC Championship will be held in March 2013 in San Francisco, with one qualifying round in September. In the WBC this fall, there will be four qualifier tournaments: in Germany,

Panama, Taiwan and Florida. In each qualifier, four teams will be competing (for a total of 16 teams). The four winning teams of the 16 will compete in the main WBC in March 2013. Team Israel will compete against South Africa in the Florida Qualifying Tournament on Sept. 19 and against France or Spain on Sept. 21. In the second round in March 2013, the four qualifying winners from the fall qualifier tournament will again compete, this time, against 12 “baseball power houses” that received automatic bids to qualify. Both the qualifying tournament and the WBC Championship permit each team to lose two games before being eliminated from the tournament. The 12 “baseball power houses” include: Australia, China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, United States, and Venezuela. The Team USA manager is former Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Joe Torre. Jewish American Major League players Ryan Braun and Ian Kinsler may need to choose be-

On the Net http://web.worldbaseballclassic.com/2013/ schedule_and_tickets/ tween competing for Israel or the United States. Kevin Youkilis said he would play for Team Israel next March if Israel wins the qualifier and if he’s healthy. Braun is the reigning National League MVP and this year’s home run leader. Ausmus spoke of qualities he looks for in a good manager. “The best baseball managers I’ve been around have been very good communicators and they understand that in baseball, unlike maybe football or basketball, it’s not so much the “x’s” and “o’s” that you’re managing but it’s people,” Ausmus said. “In this tournament where Team Israel’s playing, it’s much shorter… It’s less than a week long, this first tournament. So you still have to be able to communicate and understand the players that you’re managing, but it’s win or get out. It’s win or go home. “So it’s a little bit less See MANAGER, page B21

Neil Giraldo and Pat Benatar to perform at Belly Up on Sept. 14 Couple still rocking after more than 30 years together BY JOE TASH Neil Giraldo and Pat Benatar must know something about love — after all, the two have penned and performed some of the most memorable love-themed rock songs of the past three decades, from “Love is a Battlefield,” to “Heartbreaker,” to “Promises in the Dark.” Love has also been a major part of their lives together — their relationship is still rock solid after more than 30 years of marriage and raising two children. They’ve spent countless hours together on stage, in a tour bus or in a recording studio. “We respect each other a lot,” said Giraldo in a telephone interview from Oklahoma City, where they were set to play on a recent night. They also complement each other artistically — Giraldo plays lead guitar to Benatar’s powerful vocals. “When we first met, we were each other’s muse,” Giraldo said. Giraldo and Benatar are currently touring across the U.S. with Journey and Loverboy, as well as performing their own shows this summer. The couple will bring

On the Web ■ www.bellyup.com ■ www.benatargiraldo.com. their band to Solana Beach on Friday, Sept. 14, for a performance at the Belly Up Tavern. The couple got in the rhythm of touring each summer while their two daughters, now 27 and 18, were in school. Sometimes, they’d even let their kids bring friends with them to ride on the tour bus for a week or two. Now that their youngest daughter has graduated from high school, the girls want to stay home and do their own thing, Giraldo said. “We’ve kind of got the bus all to ourselves,” he said, a sort of traveling empty nest. When they’re not on the road, they split their time between Los Angeles and Hawaii. Giraldo said both he and Benatar still love playing live, but could do without the travel grind. “I love it and so does she,” Giraldo said. “Getting on stage is the easiest part, the best part of the night.”

The couple co-writes most of their songs and Giraldo also serves as producer and arranger. He expects a new Pat Benatar song to be released early next year, and he’s also working on a Christmas album of original songs that will feature a variety of guest artists and genres, from heavy metal to country to Cajun, “a big ‘ol Christmas party record.” The two have also taken up the pen. Benatar released her autobiography, “Between a Heart and a Rock Place,” in 2010, which Giraldo said inspired him to start writing his own memoir. Benatar is also working on a novel, he said. They have also ventured into a new business, starting a vitamin company called On the Rock Nutrition, and will start marketing its products later this year in time for the holiday season. In spite of their long history of touring and recording music, Giraldo said fans who come to see them shouldn’t expect any let-up in the intensity level. “We’re a serious rock band. When we’re live, we’re ripping, we’re going,” he said. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. will perform with their band at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, at the Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach, 92075. The show is 21 and up, and tickets are

$69 in advance and $74 on the day of the show. Call 858-4818140 for information; www.bellyup.com or www.benatargiraldo. com.

Chef Donald Lockhart is on the Cusp with savory dishes, eco-friendly dining BY KELLEY CARLSON igh up in the Hotel La Jolla, its new restaurant, Cusp, stays grounded through its environmentally friendly practices and laid-back atmosphere. Yet it also exudes elegance, and has been attracting everyone from vacationers in T-shirts to people donning formalwear for special occasions since its Aug. 3 opening. “(It’s) your time as a guest; we make sure it’s enjoyable,” said executive chef Donald Lockhart. Many will likely appreciate Cusp’s “green” theme, from its sustainability procedures to its organic ingredients and tree-inspired decor. A participant in Kimpton Hotels’ EarthCare Program, the restaurant recycles and only utilizes hard, reusable containers to store food. Excess cooking oils and grease are converted into biodiesel fuels; cleaning is achieved with biodegradable supplies. Lighting is energyefficient, and special devices help control water flow in the kitchen and bathrooms. It’s only natural that Cusp would also follow the hotel’s tree theme and incorporate woodsy elements into its interior design. Brown “vines” cover much of the walls; leaf patterns glow in the ceiling. Throughout the restaurant, there are also smoky mirrors, gauzy white curtains and flickering “candles” that are actually lights. The ocean can be seen from just about every seat in the house.

Cusp is located on the 11th floor of Hotel La Jolla and offers meals with ocean views.

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Cusp’s Scallops and Crab Cerviche Happy hour is typically celebrated in the lounge, where patrons can relax in cushioned seats with pillows or in wooden stools at the bar. Cocktails created with house-made infused spirits and freshsqueezed juices are $5. While that special is consistent, the happy hour food menu changes weekly. So customers shouldn’t get too attached to those mini falafel chicken fritters they just ordered. “It gives us a chance to play with the food and evolve the menu,” Lockhart said. “We hope to change the menu constantly so it doesn’t get old and tired.” After happy hour, guests tend to migrate into the main dining room for dinner. By day, patrons can listen to “poppy” jazz music and observe the ocean’s swells along La Jolla Shores through the 11th-floor establishment’s floor-to-ceiling windows, which can slide open to permit the cool breeze to pass through. But as evening approaches, guests are often treated to scenes of the sun seemingly sinking into the Pacific. As the lights of La Jolla begin to twinkle below, the restaurant grows dim, and hip music provides an upbeat atmosphere. Servers present customers with menus printed on recycled paper, filled with choices of light, coastal Mediterranean cuisine. Lockhard noted that the flavors are clean, natural and simplistic, and the dishes do not contain heavy sauces. Doughs are prepared three to four days ahead of time to give them a more developed flavor; noodles for pasta dishes are made in-house, just hours before customers arrive. In addition, ingredients are local and organic, purchased from places such as Suzie’s Farm on the Tijuana Estuary and Bread & Cie Bakery & Cafe in San Diego. Cusp also follows the Monterey Bay Seafood

Watch’s sustainable seafood guidelines when selecting such fare. Wines — whether they are French rosé or cabernet — are sustainable, organic and biodynamic, and microbrews come from area producers such as Karl Strauss, Green Flash and Stone Brewing. With the exception of pastas and pizzas, most of the food is gluten-free, or can be tailored to fit one’s needs. To kick off a meal, guests have several options. There is a raw bar with oysters and several types of ceviches. And there are shareable appetizers such as the Toasted Quinoa, sprinkled over a mixture of yellowtail and curry cream and served with pita chips; and Pepperoni Rolls filled with melted mozzarella, asiago, oven-dried tomato and roasted garlic with spicy tomato dipping sauce, which pairs well with a brew. Salad lovers may opt for Roasted Artichoke with spice mixed greens and chili goat cheese, or perhaps the Charred Octopus with citrus, mojo verde and panzanella salad. A variety of rustic flatbreads and pastas are available, along with entrees ranging from vegetarian to meat and seafood. One tender dish is the Pan-Roasted Jidori Chicken with Provencal vegetables in pan jus, served on a bed of organic polenta. Children can order more kid-friendly eats such as cheese pizza, tomato and cheese pasta, or butter and noodles — and color with crayons while they wait. To top off a meal, there are desserts such as the Rhubarb and Strawberry Trifle with lemon curd and vanilla cake, the Caramel Panna Cotta, and ice creams and sorbets. Among the choices for accompanying beverages are coffees, cognacs, ports or special after-dinner cocktails such as the frothy Murphy’s Law, a combination of Nolet’s Gin, orgeat syrup, lemon, strawberry honey-Peychaud Bitters and whipped cream. Lockhart pointed out that meals at Cusp are relatively inexpensive, especially for a La Jolla restaurant — a person can order a beer and pasta for less than $20. “You get great food, views and value,” he said. Customers may take their food to go in containers made from recycled cane fiber, and hotel guests can order the restaurant’s items from their rooms. Valet parking is free for Cusp guests; they can gauge an ideal time to leave the establishment by watching the traffic flow below along Torrey Pines Road.

Local residents serving as chair, honorary chairs of ROMP gala for Ronald McDonald House BY KATHY DAY If you ever wondered why people volunteer to head up committees for charity events, you can pretty much figure the answer comes from the heart. And when it comes to children, the heartstrings likely tug a bit harder, which is why local resident Fernanda Whitworth stepped up when she was asked to chair the annual ROMP gala for Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. It’s also the reason local residents’ Susan and Bill Hoehn are honorary chairs of the Oct. 13 event that will raise money to support the house that provides a place to stay for families with seriously ill children being treated at San Diego hospitals. With its fairytale theme of “Once Upon A Time,” the event at the newly renovated Rancho Valencia Resort will feature a special performance by a legendary R&B vocal group. Details are still being finalized so their name couldn’t be revealed yet, Whitworth said. The emotional draw of the evening will be a video of a family who stayed at the Ronald McDonald House and remarks by retired Philadelphia Eagles player Fred Hill, who helped

establish the first house in Philadelphia after his 3-yearold daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She died last year at 44 from brain cancer. As a special treat, the cocktail hour will feature a kids’ band with children coming on stage at the end to thank the donors, Whitworth said. Partygoers and others who want to spend $100 for a raffle ticket even if they can’t make the event will have a chance to win a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C250 — or $30,000 in cash — donated by the Hoehns, the owners of Hoehn Motors for 37 years. Whitworth said when Mary Drake, chair of the 2011 committee on which she had served, asked her to take over she initially hesitated because she had told herself she would spend five years focused primarily on her own two children before she took on any major projects. But a week later she had to take her daughter to Rady Children’s Hospital. While they were waiting they were sitting on a bench with a likeness of Ronald McDonald that captivated her daughter. When Whitworth’s own mother was dying of

But sitting there she began thinking about parents whose children are in the hospital. “They have to go home and be impervious,” she said. “I related to those things. To me, losing parents is hard, but losing a child is harder.” That day at Children’s she made the decision to take on the task of planning the gala and went right to work, rounding up committee members. That part was fairly easy since 80 percent of those who pitched in last year, including Drake, came back. What has been hard, Whitworth said, is coordinating the schedules of her 26 co-workers. “Everybody believes it is a good cause,” she added, “so they are all working hard to make the event a success.” This year the goal is to raise $350,000. Tickets are $500 and proceeds will also come from silent and live auctions and the raffle of the Mercedes-Benz. Susan Hoehn, who with her husband is donating the car, said, “We are a family business so we try to seek out philanthropies that are family oriented.

Patriot Profiles: ‘The mastermind behind the machinery is my enemy’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY An explosively-formed penetrator (EFP) is a selfforging warhead. It’s a copper metal dish which varies in size from a 50-gallon drum to the size of paint bucket and contains an explosive charge. Detonation is controlled by cable, radio, TV, or remote arming with a passive infrared sensor that shoots through the charge multiple times, resulting in an explosion that inverts the dish into a giant bullet accelerating towards a target. Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Derek R. Sanchez was in a vehicle travelling under an overpass when an EFP blew out his entire engine block, injuring his teammate in the passenger seat with high-velocity shrapnel. Sanchez said, “Its armor piercing and there’s nothing that can withstand that. It’s intensely devastating.” The EFP incident was not the first or last scare for this Navy Combat Cameraman (Comcam) who’s been seared and stretched by battle fire. “I’m scared every time I go out. If someone tells you they get used to those experiences, they’re lying. It’ll always come back

to haunt you. You remember brushes with death.” Life changed for this former retail assistant manager, who walked into his local recruiting office in 2004 sporting a Mohawk and punk-rocker attitude. The recruiters looked at him and said, “Are you kidding me – you’re not serious?” A college degree and high ASVAB (aptitude) scores made them look beyond the exterior at Derek, who was hoping to get “a little more discipline in my life and a decent job.” Sanchez is serious when it comes to shooting video and photographic intelligence vital to U.S. command posts in the theater of war. For a guy who’d choose boots on the ground taking a hail of gunfire every day over spending a week on a ship – he “just does his job.” The threats of EFPs, IEDs, or bullets and mortar are very concerning, but he states, “I think a bad mind is more dangerous than the machinery behind it. The mastermind behind the machinery is my enemy.” Some of the best advice

Sanchez received when he first got to training was from his best friend, Mass Communications Specialist 1st Class Erik Wehnes. “He took me under his wing and told me to be real – authentic knowing who I am and my mission, because that’s what your teammates want most.” A Navy mass communications specialist combines four previously separate jobs into one — including photography, lithography, drafting and journalism. Mastering a menu of professional skills is challenging enough, but MC2 Sanchez has to also jump the hurdles of acceptance and respect. The toughest test for the guy with a camera attached to Navy Seal teams or Army Special Forces units is being thought of as one of their own. When Sanchez was deployed with 10th Group Army Special Forces to Iraq, he had to improve the preconceived impressions that existed about those with his MOS (military occupational

specialty). A former Army combat cameraman had panicked in a live fire situation, refusing to get out of the truck despite repeated orders, pleading he had a wife and kids. “What better reason to get out of the vehicle? You fight to survive for your family,” Sanchez said. “You have to realize the biggest target is a vehicle. We’re tactically trained to dismount vehicles and engage in situations like that.” Sanchez not only did his job for 10th group, but they welcomed him as part of the team. It’s not always possible to dismount and engage when an evil mastermind has planted his calling card under your seat. In Bagdad, when an Iraqi Sergeant Major of this country’s foreign partners got into his vehicle, an IED nearly sent him through the roof. “The only people that were there to respond were the team medic and me, the Comcam guy. Team medics are astonishing – they know what they’re doing. I had to help him try to save this officer, who lost half of his body.” “I’ve been on missions where we build target packSEE PATRIOT, PAGE B17

Anthony’s Shoe Repair fixes more than just shoes BY CLAIRE HARLIN Anthony Khattar may be in the shoe repair business, but sometimes the job feels like that of a miracle worker. “Every day there’s something unique people bring me,” said the owner of Anthony’s Shoe Repair, which has locations in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Solana Beach and Carmel Mountain Ranch. “I’ve worked on leather chairs, baby strollers, you name it. People think, ‘Take it to Anthony’s. They can fix anything.’” Anthony’s has made a name for itself in the community as a go-to place to get shoes repaired, cleaned, resized or relined, and it’s no wonder customers have begun considering Khattar’s handiwork for other needs. For a home inspector, he recently made custom, heavyduty tool belts with pockets to hold brochures, an iPod and phone. He has also been served the honor of sewing YMCA Indian Guide and Indian Princess patches on kids’ vests, as well as sewing a mural on a customer’s Jeep spare tire cover.

While the unique jobs add variety to Khattar’s day, his successful chain of shoe repair shops have become popular because they get the job done on shoes, whether that means totally saving a designer shoe that became a dog’s lunch or re-sizing equestrian boots for a pro rider. “Sometimes we get to the point where we fix someone’s shoes so many times that they are beyond repair and they still talk me into fixing them one more time,” said Khattar, 48. An Illinios native, Khattar had an early start in his field. His father owned a shoe repair business and Khattar used to watch him work for hours on end. “It’s in my DNA,” said Khattar. “I was always observing my father, but he wouldn’t let me touch anything. It wasn’t until my teens that I was hands on.” When he was older he got into the business himself. He had been fixing shoes while in school studying business and photography at a junior college in Illinios, but it wasn’t until he visited San Diego with

to their standards, I always try to exceed their expectations when they get it back,” he said. “We stand by our work and we will do it over and over again if it’s not right.” Anthony’s Shoe Repair has moved to a new location just a few shops down from where his business stood for more than 10 years in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, and Khattar said the move has helped business by increasing the visibility of the space.

Wing it with National Chicken Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN September is National Chicken month, paying homage to the more than 9 billion birds raised every year for consumption in this country. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primer to help pollitarians navigate their way through the shoals of the chickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; world this month and throughout the year. Cluck. Cluck. Struttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; its stuff Chicken (especially skinless breast meat) is a lean, densely packed protein source, having less than half the fat of a trimmed prime cut steak. Loaded with B vitamins, particularly niacin,

chicken has been linked to putting the skids on age-related cognitive diseases, and dialing-up energy. While the trace mineral selenium in chicken is an immune- boosting powerhouse and hormone regulator, keeping the thyroid on an even keel. Probably one of the most versatile foods on the planet, you could easily prepare a different dish for every day of National Chicken Month: Chicken Parmesan. Morrocan-stewed chicken with figs and apricots. Chicken with roasted quinoa. Chicken sausage paella. Chicken and wild mushroom risotto. White chicken chili. Stuffed chicken cabbage rolls. Chicken with lemon and capers over egg noodles. Grilled Greek chickensalad. Chicken Caesar. Chicken lo mein. Chicken egg foo yung. You get the picture. Pecking order When choosing chicken, buy organic free-range wherever possible. Factory-

farmed chickens are cooped up in cramped quarters, necessitating the use of large amounts of antibiotics to prevent the spread of infections and other diseases. They are also injected with growth hormones, giving them synthetically augmented breasts. So when buying chicken, make sure it passes the drug test as well as the taste test. All itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cracked up to be A young, healthy hen lays roughly 300 eggs per year, which varies depending on the breed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a misnomer that brown eggs have a higher nutritional value than their pale counter-parts; rather, the mocha hue is a result of a pigment deposited in the shell during the formation in the oviduct from redfeathered, brown ear-lobed hens. Other breeds lay designer shades of blue, green, reddish brown and mauve.

Eggs are a complete protein and provide a mother lode of folic acid, iron, calcium, phosphorous, potassium and Vitamins A, B6, B12, D and E. Those high in Omega-3 fatty acids come from chickens fed with polyunsaturated fats and kelp meal. Tastes like chicken For vegetarians and vegans who like the taste of chicken and eggs there are plenty of mock options including, Veggie Chicken Burgers (Yves), Chicken Nuggets (Boca and Applegate), and Meatless Buffalo Chicken Wings (Gardenburger). Swap out the real McCoy for egg substitutes, and whip up frittatas, scrambles, breakfast burritos or crĂ¨me brule French toast. A Hen Party In celebration of National Chicken Month, a handful of neighboring restaurants in Del Mar Highlands Town Center will be hosting a Chicken Cook-off on Saturday Sept. 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. Davanti Enoteca, Mia Francesca, Rimelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Burlap and Sammyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woodfired Pizza will be offering sam-

Open house for DM Community Building

n open house was held Aug. 28 to unveil the newly christened Del Mar Community Building, 225 9th Street, formerly the Del Mar Union School District administrative offices. Guests toured the facility and learned about activities already scheduled in the building. They also viewed meeting spaces available for community meeting use. The Del Mar Community Building includes offices for the Del Mar Foundation (DMF) and the Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC), along with a large computer lab for DMCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain fitness and computer training programs. The building includes a conference room seating 14, a kitchen with a work space for eight, and a reception room. The facilities augment current community meeting space at the Del Mar Library and City Hall Annex. Three community organizations (DMF, DMCC and the DMVA History Committee) have storage space on site, allowing a collective savings of over $500 in monthly off-site storage unit fees. The property also includes a parking lot, a rare amenity in Del Mar. Both DMCC and the Del Mar Foundation pooled funds to remodel the space, which now includes an ADA-compliant restroom. Numerous volunteers and volunteer groups, as well as assistance from City of Del Mar staff, came together to help give the building a facelift. While a long-term master plan is being developed for the entire Shores property, the Del Mar Foundation and the City of Del Mar entered into a two-year Interim Use Agreement. For more information, visit the Del Mar Foundation web site at www.delmarfoundation.org/ communitybuilding. PHOTOS/JON CLARK

AAUW invites public to Boutique Mystique The Del Mar-Leucadia branch of the American Association of University Women invites the public to its Boutique Mystique, a showcase of unique handcrafted items by local artisans and books by member and award-winning childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author Edith Fine. The free event will be held Sept. 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the beautiful Asian garden of member and world traveler Barbara Jenkins-Lee, 1327 La Sobrina Court, Solana Beach. Parking and entrance is on San Andres Drive. Look for the authentic Japanese gate with tile roof. The shopping mecca will offer antiques, jewelry, sculptures and ceramics as well as a silent auction and information about the upcoming activities of the branch. A portion of the proceeds will fund scholarships for students attending Mira Costa College and California State University San Marcos as well as local middle school girls attending Tech Trek, a math and science camp at University of California San Diego. Membership in the American Association of University Women is open

Members of Del Mar-Leucadia branch of the American Association of University Women visit the beautiful Asian garden of member Barbara Jenkins-Lee, site of the upcoming Boutique Mystique, a showcase of unique items, many handcrafted by local artisans. (L-R): Judy Howarter, VP programs; Barbara Jenkins-Lee, garden owner and past president; Joanne Viner, past president; Snoodles, resident Bichon. Photo/Betty Reed to all graduates who hold an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. The Del MarLeucadia Branch reflects the varied interests of its members with informative, educational monthly meetings and special interest groups such as Gourmet, Foreign Affairs, Book Groups, Mini Courses, Gadabout, and Theatre. Founded in 1955, the local branch serves the North Coastal communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, Olivenhain, Leucadia and La Costa. Information: 760-918-6806 or www.aauwdelmar-leucadia.org The national organization, founded in 1881, advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.

PATRIOT continued from page B10 ages and go after these bad guys. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our job. Once you develop relationships with your team, you depend on them in uncertain situations.â&#x20AC;? Sanchez adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the guardianship feeling parents give you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got my back, I can scratch his. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make it through this.â&#x20AC;? Also on the MC2 skills menu was assisting Bravo Company 5th with FID (Foreign Internal Defense) training â&#x20AC;&#x201D; teaching Iraqi and Afghan counterparts to do his job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get along with these guys, they know how to do it, but as soon as you go on mission, things go haywire and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the job. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say they are completely trustworthy either.â&#x20AC;? Despite generous support from the U.S. Navy,

there have been accounts of these students turning during the training and shooting the instructor. Whether teaching in a foreign classroom or gathering visual Intel with the U.S. Army, Navy, or Marines, Sanchez will strive to raise the Comcam bar. He relies on his training and self-confidence, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for in me when I go out there and what they expect of me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performing under stress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear people say, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;My camera is my barrier that separates me from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In my opinion, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stupid. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re neglecting their own safety and that of others. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being aware in your situation and knowing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going home soon and having that social support when you get back and the support from your command that allows you to get a good grasp on things.

PAGE B17

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My reward is performing at a level which grants me success in what I do. I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing a good job, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m physically fit and healthier than I was before. My mind is right.â&#x20AC;? Sanchez calls Albuquerque, New Mexico, home, where his family resides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a bikerdude. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud I took a step forward and will back me no matter what. There are days when I pray I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up a video camera and days when I think it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any better.â&#x20AC;? More than a haircut has changed for Sanchez, who sports a hard-won attitude, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be real, be focused. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be apathetic. If you want something bad enough, you can make it happen.â&#x20AC;? Sanchez was featured in Popular Photography Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November 2011 issue.

Q&A

What are you currently reading? “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy,” by Eric Metaxas What is your mostprized possession? It would have to be my maternal grandfather’s porcelain-faced pocket watch, engraved with his initials, and given to him by my grandmother when he returned safely from fighting in France in 1917. It was given to me because my middle name (Ernest) was named after him. What do you do for fun? Fun is always about friends and family, but my particular interests include

playing tennis, leisurely bike rides, and Monday night football! What is your mostmarked characteristic? I hope others would say some combination of kindness and compassion. What would be your dream vacation? Exploring the islands of Hawaii; now that we’ve moved from the East Coast to the West Coast, the dream has come a little bit closer. What is your motto or philosophy of life? To live “… by the grace of daily obligation.” (From “Father Melan

times to motivate.” Baseball fans in Israel have been playing on soccer fields but only one playable lit soccer field exists in Israel. It’s in Petach Tikva, 15 minutes east of Tel Aviv. Plans are underway to build a baseball stadium in Ra’anana, Israel. The city’s mayor approved the construction and the land will be donated, provided the IAB raises $3 million. Recently the IAB held fundraising events in Chicago and New York City. At “Ra’anana’s Field of Dreams,” dugouts were formed with player and spectator benches erected in memory of Israeli National Team baseball player Paul Gutman. There’s talk Ausmus may become a Major League man-

ager.

continued from page B1 I can imagine a lot of noteworthy people with whom I’d enjoy having a meal and an evening’s conversation – Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mohandas Gandhi, Jesus of Nazareth, Muhammad among them – but since my wife and I became emptynesters, I miss those family dinner-time conversations catching up on each other’s day. So I’m going to beg the question ever so slightly and say, a family dinner for four with my wife and our two sons sounds pretty ideal.

continued from page B2 about managing people and a little bit more about the bottom line. In a five-day tournament, it’s still important but not nearly as important. So if somebody’s ego gets trampled on in a five-day tournament, so be it. Sometimes it’s not about the person, it’s about the team and if you lose that day, you’re out of the tournament …” Ausmus said. “Good managers remember what it was like to be a player. What it felt like to go through a slump, to let your team down when you failed, what it felt like to pick your team up when you succeeded. The best managers do that and you can use that information someA copy of this Order To Show Cause shall be published at least once each week for four successive weeks prior to the date set for hearing on the petition in the following newspaper of general circulation, printed in this county, Del Mar Times.
