Fair board bans e-cigs, hears from opponents of elephant rides By Joe Tash Don’t plan on firing up an e-cigarette after downing a cinnamon roll, deep-fried Twinkie or slice of chocolate-covered bacon at this year’s San Diego County Fair. The board that oversees the state-owned fairgrounds voted unanimously at its meeting on Tuesday, March 11, to ban the use of e-cigarettes and other similar devices during the San Diego County Fair. Last year, the 22nd District Agricultural Association board outlawed smoking tobacco cigarettes during the fair. About 10 people spoke in favor of the e-cigarette ban at Tuesday’s meeting, and there were no speakers against the action. “I just encourage the board to seriously consider banning e-cigs,” said Ray McEdward, who said his See FAIR, page AA2

project Petition seeks to stop cell towers at CV Library Redevelopment draws mixed opinions from

By Karen Billing An online petition to stop AT&T from installing cell towers on the Carmel Valley Library is gaining support, already generating 160 signatures. To increase coverage and capacity needs, AT&T has proposed 12 antennas and 24 new remote radio units (RRUs) mounted inside raised cupola enclosures on the library on Townsgate Drive in Carmel Valley. AT&T is currently in the process of adjusting height and location concerns for the cupolas, which are towers with a domed roof. The cupola structures were originally proposed to be 45 feet high, taller than the library’s existing dome of 41 feet. According to Stephanie Lucero, one of the residents who started the petition, the community should oppose the project for the health risks associated with cell towers, the potential impacts on home values, the negative impact to the aesthetics of the Carmel Valley Library, and noise and safety concerns associated with construction. “This proposed project has many negative impacts on our community and does not offer anything positive in return. Sure, AT&T claims that we will have improved cell phone reception. This may be true, but at what expense?” said Lucero. “We are exposing our children and residents of our community to a possible health threat. We will potentially see decreased home values in the adjacent residential community. We are destroying the architectural design of our library and altering the skyline in a negative way.” So far there has been one community outreach meeting about the cell sites on Jan. 28 and, according to Jaime Moore, a spokesperson for AT&T, a second meeting will be scheduled and residents will be notified. “AT&T plans to continue to invest in the Carmel Valley wireless network with the goal of improving call quality and data speeds. We remain committed to working with the community,” Moore said. “Currently, our engineers are refining our proposed design. Once updated plans are available, we plan to present them to the community. We are dedicated to transparency throughout this process.” The petition can be signed at www.change.org/petitions/at-t-deny-at-t-s-applicationto-install-a-wireless-communications-facility-at-the-carmel-valley-library.

Solana Beach residents By Kristina Houck Community members voiced mixed views on the proposed redevelopment of a Solana Beach apartment complex during the first of two open houses March 4 at St. James Church. Built in the early 1970s, Solana Highlands features 194 one- two- and three-bedroom units located at 701 South Nardo Ave. H.G. Fenton Company, which owns and manages the property that sits on more than 13 acres, would like to rebuild the complex. Plans propose 260 units. “We are trying to create value for the community, as well as create an experience for our customer that isn’t really available in this area right now — certainly not in an apartment building,” said Mike Neal, president and CEO of H.G. Fenton Company, which has owned the apartment community since 1998. The proposed project features 120 one-bedroom and 140 two-bedroom units. All homes will feature updated interiors, storage space, and washers and dryers. The Craftsman-inspired design of the three neighborhood areas will feature covered porches, stone detailing and tapered columns. “We went into the Solana Beach community and found this type of architecture out there,” said Project Manager John La Raia. “We think it fits very well into what the community has today and what the community wants to see.” Gabriel and Alice Granados, who own a home next to the property, were pleased with the project designs. “From what we saw, it’s a great improvement,” said Gabriel Granados, a Solana Beach native. “It would make it look beautiful compared to what See PROJECT, page AA2

Parents ‘furious’ over dismissal of SAT prep school CEO

Del Mar resident wins $25,000 playing Monopoly at local grocery store

■ For a variety of social events, see pages AA3, and B1- B24.

By Kristina Houck After bagging her groceries, the cashier handed her several game pieces, but Sally R. didn’t think she would win. After all, she had participated in similar contests before. But this time was different. Sally had collected every piece needed to win the backyard makeover prize of Albertsons’ Collect & Win Monopoly Game. Shocked, Sally asked her son to review her pieces to confirm she had just won $25,000 at the Del Mar store. “It was unbelievable,” said Sally, who has lived in San Diego since 1983 and moved to Del Mar in 2007. “It still hasn’t sunk in.” A retired nurse, Sally spends her time volunteering in the community. One of her favorite pastimes is knitting blankets for newborns in the neonatal intensive care units at local hospitals, including Scripps Memorial Hospital, her former employer. To celebrate Sally’s big win, Albertsons

employees gathered for a brief ceremony at the store off Via de la Valle. Sally was presented with a large check, a bouquet of roses, balloons and a cake. Advertised as a $25,000 backyard makeover, Sally will receive a $25,000 check to use how she wishes. She plans to use the money to help cover the costs of several improvements she wants to make to her home. “I play all the games, but I’ve never won before — never. Not even a $10 certificate,” Sally said. “This is really surprising.” The Collect & Win Monopoly Game launched in mid-February. To date, more than 26,764 winners have been identified throughout the country. Prizes include cash, vehicles, vacations, gift cards and groceries. Only 20 $25,000 backyard makeovers were available at the start of the game, according to Albertsons’ website. The game ends May 20, 2014. For more information, visit albertsons.playmonopoly.us.

By Joe Tash Parents of students who attend a SAT prep school based in Carmel Valley are demanding the reinstatement of the school’s former CEO and co-founder, who said he was fired abruptly Feb. 28 with no explanation. “All the parents are furious about this issue,” said Shirley Wang, of Torrey Hills, who has enrolled her daughter in a SAT prep course this summer at a cost of nearly $3,000. The decision by management of Summa Education to part ways with CEO Chris Hamilton was announced in a March 1 email to families. The school has locations in Carmel Valley and Rancho Bernardo, and current enrollment is 883 students. The school’s action has led to the establishment of a Facebook page called “Bring Back Mr. Hamilton!” as well as an online petition asking the school to change its decision. On Sunday, disgruntled parents met with new CEO Lori Todd and other school officials at the school’s Carmel Valley office. According to a Facebook post about the meeting, some 100 parents and students crammed into the lobby, and over the two-hour meeting, they “pleaded loudly and passionately to bring back Mr. Hamilton in any capacity! It was made abundantly clear by the new CEO that Mr. Hamilton would NOT be returning to Summa. No reasons were proffered for his departure except for ‘business issues’ that surfaced over a 3 month period.” Todd acknowledged that what she had to say to families Sunday was “not what they wanted to hear” because Hamilton won’t be coming back to Summa, and she declined to state a reason for Hamilton’s dismissal. “We cannot discuss internal personnel matters.” But she said every other staff member, including teachers, counselors and office workers, will remain with the school, and Summa will continue to use the same

FAIR continued from page 1 asthma is aggravated by the vapor from the electronic devices. “They’re not the harmless items everyone thinks they are.� E-cigarettes are batterypowered cylinders containing a nicotine-infused fluid that turns into vapor when heated. Some critics of allowing their use in public places, such as Barbara Gordon, who spoke before the fair board Tuesday, said the devices are being marketed to young people by flavoring the vapor like cotton candy, bubble gum or watermelon. “This is out of the Big

SCHOOL continued from page 1 techniques and teaching materials. The school has offered refunds to those who have already enrolled and, so far, no one has actually asked for their money back because of Hamilton’s departure, Todd said. “It is the same Summa with one absence — it is a key absence — but Summa is not one person,� she said. Wang and other parents, however, attributed much of Summa’s success to Hamilton, who ran the school and also worked directly with students as a teacher and counselor. Since the school was founded in 2011, Hamilton said, 27 Summa students scored perfect 2400s on the SAT college admissions test. He said students who have gone through Summa’s program boosted their SAT scores by 500 to 700 points, or even 1,000 points, and also were admitted to prestigious universities. But Hamilton’s influence seemed to go beyond test scores. “What appeals to me the most about (Hamilton) is his role as a mentor in a child’s life,� said Hema Krishnamurthi of Carmel Valley, who sent her two sons to Summa. “He has an amazing ability to connect with them. A child walking out of his office feels motivated to read a

Tobacco playbook,� she said, noting that tobacco companies own e-cigarette product lines. Fair board member Adam Day said the agency set a “great standard� by becoming the first county fair in the state and one of the largest in the nation to go smoke-free. “E-cigs weren’t on our radar a couple of years ago when we did that,� he said, but allowing their use during the fair “sends the wrong message to children and youth.� Board member David Watson said it would be confusing to the public to allow the electronic devices while banning tobacco cigarettes.

In prohibiting e-cigarettes from the fair, the 22nd DAA board adopted similar language as an ordinance also approved Tuesday by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. That ordinance expanded the definition of e-cigarettes to include electronic pipes, hookahs and other similar devices, in a larger ordinance intended to restrict access to tobacco products by minors and limit the public’s exposure to second-hand smoke. Last month, the city of Solana Beach prohibited the use of e-cigarettes wherever tobacco use is banned, and Del Mar is considering a similar prohibition.

lot of books, and do better in their studies, and has a better sense of self-worth.� Sharon Lee Rhodes, a Carmel Valley resident, said all four of her children have worked with Hamilton, either for SAT prep or college guidance counseling. Rhodes, who is also dean of economic development at the San Diego Community College District, said the decision to dismiss Hamilton was “an awful mistake.� She credited Hamilton and Summa with helping to “place (San Diego) on the map with a lot of the elite colleges.� Her three older children — including a son at Yale who was also accepted at Harvard and Princeton — are now in college, and her younger daughter is in high school. “I hope the leadership at Summa realizes what a bad choice of executive management decision they made and I hope they’ll reverse it,� Rhodes said. Hamilton, 44, said he was informed by the school’s administration that he was fired on Feb. 28 and told not to come back to the office. He said he was not given a reason for the decision. Before co-founding Summa, Hamilton worked for another SAT prep program called Elite Educational Institute, and also taught at UCLA, where he earned graduate degrees. Following his departure

from Elite, the rival company sued Hamilton and Summa, and according to published reports, won a $3 million judgment. In its lawsuit, Elite alleged that Hamilton stole proprietary information, including client lists, and recruited key Elite staff for his new business. Hamilton said the judge later overturned part of the verdict, and that the judge’s decision bodes well for an appeal of the remaining verdict. He denied the allegations in the lawsuit. Hamilton said he is “shell-shocked� from his firing, but touched by the outpouring of support from parents and students. “This whole thing for me is a great sense of personal loss. It’s sad I’m not allowed to continue my work at Summa. I would come back in a heartbeat,� Hamilton said. Even Todd acknowledged Hamilton’s rapport with students, which she described as “magical.� Two of her own sons worked with Hamilton both at Elite and then Summa. While she is an attorney, and not an educator, she said she was brought in by a group of investment partners last fall to save the school. “I was hired by my partners to go in and make this business work. And that’s what I’m doing,� she said.

The Home Purchase Experts

Carlsbad, Vista and Poway have also prohibited public use of e-cigarettes. Although research is not conclusive on whether e-cigarettes encourage teens to move on to tobacco cigarettes – or whether e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes – a number of health organizations have advocated for restrictions on their use. The California Tobacco Education and Research Oversight Committee, which oversees tobacco control, education and research efforts in the state, voted last year to oppose the use of e-cigarettes in all areas where other tobacco products are banned, according to a report included with Tuesday’s 22nd

DAA board agenda. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, a number of people opposed to elephant rides at the San Diego County Fair addressed the board during the public comment period. The issue has proven controversial in recent years, as animal rights activists argued that the rides should not be allowed, while others want them to continue. Jane Cartmill, president of San Diego Animal Advocates, praised the board for banning e-cigarettes, but said it should also end its contract for the elephant rides. “I think the dangers of little children riding on elephants is considerably greater.� Alison Stanley of the

League of Humane Voters addressed fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell. “You cannot have safety and security as a No. 1 priority and continue to have elephant rides. It’s not possible.� Board member Watson reminded speakers of the panel’s vote – in 2011 - to revisit the issue of the elephant rides after the upcoming 2014 fair. The timing is related to new guidelines from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, taking effect this year, that advise trainers and handlers to avoid direct contact with elephants and instead work with them from behind barriers.

PROJECT

members inquired about the length of construction. Still in development, finalized plans have not yet been submitted to the city for review. Currently, there is no formal construction plan or schedule, but developers anticipate construction will be completed in phases. “I think it’s a good improvement — I like it — but all that noise and all that dust. And we need to really know a length of time,� said Phil Weber, who has lived in Solana Beach for seven years. “I think the neighborhood would rather have it all done in one year than take three or four years.� Weber was also concerned about the community’s current residents. “I always have concern about the people,� he added. “What’s going to happen? Are they going to be displaced? Will they be allowed back in? Are the rents going to go way high?� Veronica Marco has lived in a one-bedroom at Solana Highlands for six years. Excited about the potential revitalization of her apartment community, Marco hopes to continue living at the complex for years to come. “I’m happy where I am now, but it is old,� she said. Currently, Marco said

she pays $1,400 per month for rent. “I try not to worry too far ahead of time,� she said. “I don’t want rent to go up, but at the same time, this is a real upgrade. I’d like to stay because I like Solana Beach.� Currently, rent ranges from $1,545 to $1,650 for one-bedroom units, $1,810 to $1,855 for two-bedroom units, and $2,145 to $2,205 for three-bedroom units, according to Solana Highlands’ website. La Raia said rent for the upgraded units has not yet been determined, but construction will be done in phases so current residents can relocate to a different building and return to their home once construction is completed. During the open house, members of the public had the opportunity to ask questions and share comments with H.G. Fenton Company representatives who were stationed at architecture, site plan and landscape, traffic and parking, and sustainability and operations informational booths. A second open house is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on March 13. For more information about the project, visit revitalizingsh.com.

Other nearby residents agreed that the proposed upgrades were pleasing to the eye, but expressed concerns about traffic, parking and public safety. “I think it’s a beautiful idea, but I think it’s too many people,â€? said 40-year Solana Beach resident Ginny Gonzalez. “I don’t believe there’s going to be enough parking for the amount of people that they’re planning on putting in here. ‌ That’s way too much traffic for Nardo, and I think the crime rate is going to go up.â€? To improve traffic flow, project plans reduce and relocate the current four entrances so that there are just two entrances to the apartment community. Plans also include 525 parking spaces, an increase from the current 285 parking spaces. In addition, approximately 250 of the 260 units will have a private garage, according to the latest plans.

Santa Fe Christian students excel in worldwide competition. Page 3

SECTION A

TPHS graduate and accomplished software developer gives inspirational presentation during TPHS Yellow Ribbon Week

Torrey Pines Yellow Ribbon Week speaker Oliver Miao with his 12th grade AP English teacher at Torrey Pines, Barbara Swovelin. Courtesy photo Miao grew up in Del Mar and was a student at Del Mar Heights, Earl Warren Middle School and Torrey Pines High School. He went on to attend Stanford University, graduating in 1997. Miao talked about his memorable days at Torrey Pines with teachers such as Barbara Swovelin, who is still teaching there. He talked about his fellow classmates: the cheerleader who went on to be a professor at Yale University; the class clown that used to write papers with references to bodily functions who is now a brain surgeon. A person who never played any sports or was part of any club went on to do customer outreach at GoPro. A member of the Torrey Pines academic team who helped Miao and the team win two national championships is now a sports anchor on the local news. “The point is that we all change. Who you are in high school doesn’t have to define who you become,” Miao said. “You have a whole future after school that will define who you can be.” Miao was a self-described “nerd” who overcame some cruel bullies in his younger years. In Del Mar, while in elementary school, he was one of few Asians but didn’t realize he was considered “different” until being picked on by older kids. He recalled coming home from school crying after being picked on for his last name, Miao, and when students mocked him by pulling their eyes. His mom helped teach him that his name was unique and that it was better to laugh along with people making fun of him than to get angry in return. In seventh grade he had a terrible experience with a bully who used to pick him up and dangle him over a trash can or put him in a headlock. What he hated most was the helplessness he felt. Miao said one of the biggest regrets of his life was

becoming a bully himself and teasing another student. The student then passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm and Miao felt horrible that he never apologized for the way he treated him. “Some of the last things I said to him were making fun of him for something he should’ve been proud of,” Miao said. “It’s natural to tease friends or people you don’t know but next time, think about how you would feel if that person is no longer with you the next day. I hope you won’t have those same types of regrets.” Miao talked about being an engineer who didn’t like talking to people, but then he got very lucky with his game designs and had to go outside of his comfort zone to expand his business. The guy who in high school couldn’t even say “yes” to a girl who asked him to leave a football game was suddenly taxed with having to speak to people he didn’t know to make business connections. He willed himself to go to conferences and speak to everyone he met — two of those people happened to work for companies such as Sega and Sony, companies he ended up working with that helped grow his business. After becoming a father to twins, Miao felt like he wasn’t making enough of a difference in the world and wanted to make some kind of impact. With his game “High School Story” reaching millions of young students, he realized he had a platform. In addition to slipping in elements

Speaker Oliver Miao of learning and education in a fun way, he also used his game to promote diversity and acceptance and counteract cyberbullying and other high school issues. He partnered with Cybersmile Foundation, a cyberbullying charity and has raised more than $100,000 for the group. Unexpectedly, a user contacted the game through the support system to tell them she intended to kill herself. Miao and his team sent her messages to let her know that they cared and found resources for her to get help. After a week, she told them she was going to get help. “We wrote the game to entertain people and it ended up saving a life,” Miao said. Miao and Hollins told the students that as much pressure as they may feel or whatever they are going though, each one of them has the power to set their intentions and make decisions that can change their lives or the lives of others. “We all have the survival instinct. I think we’re naturally wired to keep on going,” Miao said. “The best lifeline you have is your friends and I really encourage you to look out for your friends.” As Yellow Ribbon Week came to a close, a PALS member received a text from a senior that showed just how powerful the week can be. The text read: “I just wanted to talk, I am not usually the one to be moved by spirit weeks but the last video that we watched of the girl who committed suicide really spoke to me. I did not think it was important to talk about the thoughts that I was having and the damage I was doing to my own body because of the depression I went through because of the things that I went through and having to live with the people who did them to me. But now I know that I have people to talk to and I can be helped without being judged. I don’t know what to say right now, I guess I just need someone to vent to.”

By Karen Billing The yellow posters were pasted around the Torrey Pines High School campus like advertisements in a coffee shop, “Take what you need” it read, but instead of a telephone number to tear away, there were words: Love, hope, patience, understanding, a chance, laughter, healing. All of the tabs on one poster had been torn away and kept, leaving just the quote on the poster: “Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day.” The yellow posters were part of the high school’s Yellow Ribbon Week, a week devoted to suicide prevention and removing the stigmas of mental illness, encouraging students to not be afraid to ask for help and support each other. “The most important resource for suicide prevention is each other,” said Don Hollins, Peer Assistance Listeners (PALS) advisor. Throughout the week, students watched PSA videos made by their peers and heard from a lineup of speakers, including Dr. Paul Sargent, the psychiatrist for all of the Navy SEALS, and Torrey Pines graduate Oliver Miao, the CEO and co-founder at Pixelberry Studios. Miao founded Centerscore with three friends and sold his company to Electronic Arts (EA). Through Pixelberry, he released the game “High School Story.” The game has seven million downloads and about 10 percent of high school students in the country have it on their phones.

Fire damages commercial building

www.delmartimes.net

On Tuesday, March 4, at 9:39 a.m., firefighters from the cities of Del Mar, San Diego, and Solana Beach and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District responded to the report of a structure fire in the 3000 block of Via De La Valle in Del Mar. Upon arrival they discovered that a fire in a back hallway of Sublime Tavern had been extinguished by one sprinkler head. “Fortunately, the fire protection system worked as it was designed to,” said RSFFPD

ers to be aware of an ongoing wire fraud that has been targeting SDG&E residential and business customers. Reports indicate that individuals are misrepresenting themselves as utility employees by calling customers and threatening to turn off electric and gas service if an immediate payment is not made. Customers are instructed to purchase a pre-pay credit card, and are directed to another phone number where information is then obtained from the card and the cash value is then removed. SDG&E wants to warn customers of this fraud in an effort to prevent them from becoming potential victims. The company assures customers that SDG&E does not proactively contact them and ask for credit card information over the phone. SDG&E customers should not provide any financial information by phone unless they have initiated the conversation. If any customers receives a phone call that makes them feel uncomfortable, and they know they have an outstanding balance that needs to be resolved, they should hang up and call SDG&E directly at 1-800-411-7343.

Here are some additional key messages: • SDG&E does not proactively contact customers to ask for credit card information over the phone. •SDG&E always provides past due notices in writing before service is shut-off for non- payment. •If customers receive a phone call that makes them feel uncomfortable, and they know they have an outstanding balance that needs to be resolved, they should hang up and call SDG&E directly at 1-800-4117343. •Customers should not provide financial information by telephone unless they call SDG&E directly. •It’s important to report this type of fraudulent activity to SDG&E by calling 1-800-411- 7343. •Customers should not be afraid to call SDG&E if they have an outstanding balance. Customer service agents are trained to work with customers to arrange for a payment plan or other payment process and cannot authorize a shut-off without proper written notification.

Battalion Chief Chris Galindo. “The single sprinkler head provided the occupants with time to safely evacuate the building and kept the fire from spreading and causing further damage. Three suites in the commercial building were affected and the total estimated damaged is $50,000. The cause is under investigation but appears to be accidental in nature.

Santa Fe Christian students, Bryce Aggasid and Luke Vandertie, scored in the top 5 percent of all students worldwide in the American Mathematics Competition. The American Mathematics Competition is a worldwide math exam taken by approximately 200,000 of the world’s best math students and is designed to identify students with exceptional math talent. The two students also received a $1,000 SFC scholarship for their top scores. In addition to the AMC, Santa Fe Christian Schools’ Math Team competes in many top national and state math competitions each year. Kelly Hoffman, SFC senior, was one of only 500 girls in the nation invited to compete in the “Math Prizes for Girls” at MIT. The team also competes in the Cal

The 2014 Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award will be presented to Jenna Nastrini, a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School, at Soroptimist International of La Jolla’s annual luncheon, Saturday, April 5, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Roetter Hall in Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, 4321 Eastgate Mall. Author Mimi Kirk will be the keynote speaker, addressing “Timeless Beauty from the Inside Out.” Named after the president of the first Soroptimist club, the Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award honors girls who are making a difference through volunteer service. During her high school years, Nastrini has been involved with Build A Miracle, a non-profit organization based in Scripps Ranch, which has built more than 170 homes for needy families in Tijuana, (buildamiracle.net). She is also captain of Cathedral Catholic’s varsity dance team and is involved in the school’s Campus Ministry program. In 2013, she singlehandedly raised more than $14,000 to build and furnish a three-bedroom home for the Vasquez family of seven, who were living in a one-room makeshift shack with a dirt floor and no doors, warm water or plumbing. Nastrini started the fund with $1,000 she earned by giving dance lessons to young girls. She then received 60 donations from family, teachers, neighbors, coaches and classmates. “Thanks to the kindness and support of so many people who were eager to help, one family’s wildest dream became a reality,” she said. “This was the most meaningful experience of my life.”

William H. ‘Sweetwater Willie’ LaBarge. Courtesy photo pended following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, eventually resuming in 1995. “This book was a lot harder research-wise, because I hadn’t lived it, said LaBarge. “Normally I can finish a book in 10 months; this took me close to 15.” The plot of “Lightning Strikes Twice,” for which LaBarge said he is in final negotiations with producer Howard Kazanjian (“Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Star Wars Episode VI”) to purchase the movie rights, also involves the CIA, the world’s longest sniper kill shot and the F-35C, the U.S. military’s newest stealth fighter. The single-seat, single-engine craft was developed by Lockheed Martin to perform ground attack, reconnaissance and air defense missions. “I was waiting for something to kind of get my juices flowing again,” LaBarge said of the F-35C, to be introduced in December 2015. LaBarge, who will read from his book at 7 p.m. March 29 at D.G. Wills Books, 7461 Girard Ave., played some 30 professional baseball games with the Philadelphia Phillies prior to his military career (as a non-contract walk-on player during the Vietnam War). LaBarge said he wore so much cologne that, upon walking onto the field, teammates dubbed him “Sweetwater Willie,” a nickname that has stuck with him. A native of Dexter Maine, LaBarge holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s in international relations. He has sold movie rights to three of his other books, and served as a technical advisor on movies such as “The Final Countdown” and Top Gun,” and the TV Series, “JAG.” His advice for aspiring authors? “Unless you’re doing a family synopsis that you don’t plan on putting out to the world, you have to have something that is going to attract a whole genre of readers — and it’s got to be interesting and unique if it’s going to sell.” In addition, he advised, “Get yourself on a high protein diet so that you can concentrate. … You’re not going to get much sleep, because you’re working overtime. Many times during this whole process I probably didn’t sleep more than four hours a night because I’d wake up thinking of things and … go to the computer.”

By Pat Sherman It’s been more than two decades since local resident and New York Times bestselling author Bill LaBarge penned his last book. Now, the former Top Gun is back in top literary form with a new political thriller based on the controversy surrounding Iran’s nuclear weapons program. “This was probably the hardest book I’ve written due to the research (required),” said LaBarge, who spent 23 years in the Navy and two decades after as a pilot for Southwest Airlines (from which he retired last summer). His previous books, including “Sweetwater Gunslinger 201,” “Hornet’s Nest” and “Road to Gold,” were largely based on his real-life exploits as a Navy fighter pilot involved in the Iranian hostage crisis and other covert operations in the Persian Gulf. For his latest, “Lightning Strikes Twice,” LaBarge had to get up to speed on combat drones and dry deck shelters — removable modules attached to a submarine that allow divers to covertly enter and exit the vessel while it is submerged. LaBarge traveled to Creech Air Force Base in Clark County Nevada (near Las Vegas) to learn how combat drones are operated remotely. “I have a friend who flies the drones that attacked the targets in Afghanistan … so I had to go up there and talk to them to make sure that my facts were on target,” he said, noting that he also worked with Navy SEALS to learn how dry deck shelters work, and pored over declassified (though not widely available) files related to the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and Iran’s uranium enrichment program. Construction on the plant began in 1975, but was sus-

Patriot Profiles: ‘You have to drill down into what’s really important’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Coast Guard maritime law enforcement never sleeps as smugglers, traffickers, and law-breakers fly on the waves toward U.S shores. Undetected drug contraband snakes its way inland coast to coast, ending up in the hands of experimenting teens, despondent adults, gang members who fight over it and addicts who can’t fight against it. It’s a cargo of documented heartbreak and loss. Lt. Cmdr. Matthew N. Jones is based at Coast Guard Sector San Diego, acting as head of law enforcement. He states what the Coast Guard does is critical. “We want to make sure our borders are secure. If we can’t control it, then the possibilities of what

Lt. Cmdr. Matthew N. Jones of the U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego. Photo/Jeanne McKinney smugglers (and other criminals) can bring into the United States is really unlimited. That’s our most important role here and one I think most Americans understand. I don’t think anyone wants porous borders.” From his command post, Jones directs operations, vectoring Coast Guard assets with other government and local law enforcement resources. He states, “My policy has always been ‘people first.’ Make sure your folks are taken care of and have a clear direction. “‘Mission’ is second most important — doing what we’re supposed to be doing and accomplishing as much as we can. That parlays into ‘value’ — making sure we’re doing it the right way, being efficient with our resources and doing the best we can with what we have.”

Jones maximizes his force of four cutters, a small boat station and a Sector boarding team. “Those are the guys that are going out and executing the operations,” he said. “It’s tough — the reality is cutters, boats, and aircraft can only cover so much ocean. Time, speed, distance and the length of the maritime border [adds challenge to] the apparent willingness of smugglers to push farther and farther offshore. They’re going distances we wouldn’t go in a 25-30 foot wooden boat.” According to Department of Homeland Security maritime smuggling statistics, in 2013 there were 123 seizures, 616 apprehensions, and 93,200 pounds of narcotics confiscated. In 2012, narcotics confiscated were 117,900 pounds. Jones has been very pleased with the number of interdictions he and his crew have been involved with, crediting discipline, teamwork and commitment. A native of the Burlington, Wash., area, Jones likes

discipline, a trait he learned while attending Western Washington University. He rowed on a team for three years, a time when he met his wife, also a rower. Continuing his studies, in 1997 he enlisted for four years in the Coast Guard Reserves and became active duty upon completing college. He was accepted into the Coast Guard Officer Candidate School and graduated in June 2001. Later in September that year, he was stationed at Group Boston, his first tour of duty. “I was in Yorktown, Va., when 9/11 happened, at Search and Rescue School.” When he returned to Boston, the Coast Guard had established unified commands. “We had a port security unit…a lot of guys in cammies with arms at our front gate. “One of our main missions,” he says, “that continues to this day, was escorting liquid natural gas tankers. I would be out there as Patrol Commander trying to manage all the assets, a lot of state and local boats, helicopters — so coordinating that was always interesting.” After 9/11, the Coast Guard established Maritime Safety Security Teams (MSSTs). “They’re a deployable force that goes throughout the country [to strategic ports] taking boats and law enforcement personnel to provide protection.” In San Francisco, Jones was a plank owner (member of the first crew assigned to a unit). “Ramping up for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the military had to load ammunition, tanks and whatever they need to ships. They would send our (MSST) to provide security. “ After two tours, the Coast Guard selected Jones for what he calls “an amazing program.” “I always had an interest in going to law school. I was a ‘Law & Order’ (TV show) fan as a kid.” Jones’ payback tour was in the 13th Coast Guard district in Seattle as lieutenant staff attorney, covering many fields of law. “Any of our mission areas all have legal components to them.” Jones said being a prosecutor at court-martial proceedings was always challenging. “My view is they’re good people overall probably, but made bad decisions — obviously used poor judgment on one or more occasions. I was kind of a bleeding heart. When you start talking about putting people in jail, it’s never a great feeling. … The military justice system is codified in the Uniform Code of Military Justice,” informing, “the actual laws come from Congress.” Law school was a big row for Jones. “Hopefully you’re there because you’re interested in law and [its] principles. It didn’t necessarily feel like work. It was a great experience,” he says. The Coast Guard offers a dual career path for officers. “I did a legal tour and now I’m back in a response job, where I get to do operations again.” Jones says close to the field is where most officers strive to be. His legal background fits well dealing with smugglers and migrants, leading his crews to exercise U.S. law and authority on territorial seas and international waters. A non-compliant boat can expect a “right of visit” boarding, verification of nationality and possible confiscation, detainment, arrest and investigation. Whatever flag you wave, “You’re a little piece of that country wherever you go.” Career pearls for Jones include learning, “how to be flexible and adjust on the fly to accomplish whatever mission or task you’ve been given. You have to drill down into what’s really important.” All holidays off were never expected and Jones knew family birthdays would be missed. “I feel like I’m doing something valuable and important. The reality with border security is that you can never fully secure it. That’s why it’s important we’re up and running and are doing the best we can.”

By Vic Wintriss Sponsored by the County of San Diego Health 2.0 initiative and the California Healthcare Foundation, 18 teams of programming professionals labored for two days to make a mobile app that could provide understandable data to individuals trying make better health decisions. “We challenged the participants to humanize public data that we have available to develop applications that not only educate, but inspire residents to live healthier lives,� said Nick Macchione, director of the County Health and Human Services Agency. The competition is sometimes known as a hack-a-thon because of the large amount of publicly available data that is analyzed. Two local students, ninth-graders Macky Broido and Max Sun, won a $1,000 runner-up prize for their mobile application that grades one’s health based on residence location and several personal behaviors. Teams worked all day Saturday and Sunday to develop their programs, which were presented to a panel of judges on Sunday afternoon. Participants included graduate students, professional programmers and video game designers. The San Diego event was part of a national series of “code-a-thons� involving public data that took place throughout the country over the weekend. John Alexander took the top prize of $9,000 for

Max Sun and Macky Broido his mobile application that educates residents about the health of their communities and provides information on the locations of gyms, supermarkets, farmers markets and health providers. Alexander is a San Diego State University alum who designs Web applications for the military. The top six proposals split $22,000 in prize money. Broido and Sun, the youngest entrants in the competition, have been studying the Java programming language for several years at Wintriss Technical Schools, an afterschool program in Carmel Valley. The nonprofit school uses volunteer Java professionals as teachers in small, weekly classes that focus on writing game applications using the Java object-oriented programming language. “I was extremely proud of these kids‚“ said lead teacher June Clarke. “They were totally focussed and worked hard for two long days. I couldn’t have been happier about them winning a prize.� Clarke is also passionate about getting more girls into the highly rewarding career of computer programming. In addition to weekly after-school classes, she sponsors GirlsRule workshops during vacation periods. For more information about Wintriss Technical Schools, visit wintrisstech.org

Annual Solana Beach Ball now the Solana Beach Bash The Solana Beach Ball has gone Belly Up as this year the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning’s annual fundraiser won’t be a ball, it will be a bash.

The event will still have the popular children’s art auction and promises to be a fun time, but the idea is for it to be a little less formal and more open and inclusive than the ball, according to event chairperson Mary Dodd. Proceeds from the event fund instructors and supplies for art, PE, science and technology at Skyline and Solana Vista Schools.

By Joe Tash Charles Butler is betting that Southern California’s love affair with all things car-related will translate into a hit for his new venture, a storage facility for high-end classic and exotic cars. The Rancho Santa Fe resident has run a successful manufacturing business near Palomar Airport Road for more than 20 years, and found himself with some extra warehouse space on hand. He decided to use it to launch Rancho Santa Fe Motor Storage, what he calls a secure and discreet place to keep high-end vehicles. The facility, which opened this month, will allow car enthusiasts a place to keep their rides, and also hang out with fellow car buffs. “We’re catering to the automotive lifestyle. It’s like an automotive country club,� said Dean Liebowitz, a classic car expert who serves as the new facility’s general manager. Along with the secure vehicle storage areas, the facility includes a lounge where members can have a drink, conduct a conference call, watch TV or even shower after a spin in their vehicle. Service will include trickle-charging batteries, tire pressure checks and regularly starting engines if customers request it. Also available will be pickups and drop-offs from nearby McClellan-Palomar Airport, and car detailing, among other services. Members will even have a cigarsmoking room on the premises. “My client wants to be pampered,� said Butler. “This is for people who want to keep their car secure, keep it well-maintained, not to have to worry if they’re going out of the country,� he said. Butler took a reporter around the facility on a recent afternoon, showing off the various levels of security, from a perimeter gate, to the coded entries for the lounge and

A smartphone app will even allow car owners to see their vehicles at any time, like a high-tech nanny cam. When the facility is closed at night, concrete and steel posts will be installed in front of the roll-up doors as an extra precaution. To maintain privacy, Butler doesn’t promote the facility’s address; rather, he invites people interested in his services to call for an appointment. On the day of a reporter’s visit, three high-end cars were on display in the warehouse —two classic Porsches, and a 1930 Isotta Fraschini, an Italian-made roadster nicknamed

Del Mar resident searches for extraterrestrial intelligence with home-based station By Kristina Houck Are we alone? It’s a question most of us have asked ourselves, and a question a Del Mar resident hopes to one day answer. For nearly three decades, James Brown has spent countless hours searching for extraterrestrial intelligence. The search began with a book. A Salt Lake City native, Brown relocated to Del Mar with his wife, Cherie, from the Bay Area in 1976. He had also just finished building a computer — a computer he believes to be the first ever built by a single person. That’s when he came across “Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence” in a local bookstore. Edited by astronomer and author Carl Sagan, the book suggested that as computers became more powerful, they could become an important part of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. “I read all that and a light dawned on me that I was probably one of the very few people on Earth that could actually build a thing like that,” said Brown, who worked as an engineer for 35 years, retiring from SAIC in 1999. “I knew about computers, electronics and radiofrequency, and I had time to do it.” Brown set out to develop hardware and software to detect extraterrestrial intelligence, which is known as the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI. He built the first SETI search system on his second computer, a Z80 machine he called “Zeke.” He also purchased and installed a 12-foot antenna, and developed early software before Windows had even released. His first SETI system was born. Since retiring, Brown has spent much of his time developing and operating the new system, SETI Network. “A lot of people think that we must have groups of

people searching for extraterrestrial intelligence in the United States and around the world. There must be government-sponsored projects because it seems pretty important,” said Brown, who is also known by his amateur radio call sign W6KYP. “But there are only four SETI stations.” Brown’s station, SETI Network, is located at his Del

Mar home. He believes it is the only amateur search station in operation. He knows of three professional SETI stations in operation. These include the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California, Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico and SETI Italia. “Four stations on Planet Earth searching for extraterrestrials — that doesn’t seem right to me!” he said. Using his equipment, Brown searches for a “beacon” every day. “Let’s say there’s an extraterrestrial out here,” said Brown, as he pointed to an image of the solar system on his screen. “If he wanted to be found — if he had the ability, the money, the time and the technology — he would probably send a beacon to each of the stars in the Milky Way. … He would go through the whole Milky Way, one star at a time, and finally he would get around to our sun and shoot the beacon toward us.” It would take a high-powered beacon to make it all the way to Earth, but that’s not the only problem. For starters, there are about 300 billion stars in the galaxy. “The odds are very small — miniscule — but they’re worth a shot,” Brown said. There is also a vast space for Brown to search for a beacon. Although he has narrowed his search to a clear spot known as the “water hole,” that alone is a large area. “The problem is that the beacon may not be pointed to us for another 300 billion years and I may be looking in the wrong place for the beacon,” Brown said. “So the odds are pretty small. Nevertheless, that’s what I’m doing, and that’s probably why other people are not.”

By Kristina Houck It all started with a Christmas challenge. Two years ago, Jessica Smith received a blank notebook from a family friend for Christmas. Vic Mackenzie, a retired illustrator, encouraged the then-third grader to write a story. “He said, ‘If you want to write a book, I can illustrate it for you, and then you’ll be rich and famous one day,’” recalled 10-year-old Jessica. A week later, she wrote “A Bird Lost in Paradise.” “It’s really amazing,” said Jessica, now a fifth grader at Del Mar Pines School. “I never thought that it would come this far.” Inspired by her love of animals, Jessica’s book follows Caitlin, a lost bird in the Amazon rainforest. After meeting a squirrel monkey named Alvin, the pair travels to the Galápagos Islands and other faraway lands, meeting new friends along the way. “I put some work into it,” Jessica said. “Some people might not realize it’s hard and it takes so much time.” Although it took only a week to write the story, it took roughly 18 months for the Del Mar girl to complete the book. Her father, Bruce Smith, edited the story and compiled the learning resources section so young readers could learn about the animals mentioned in the story. “There’s so many books that are just stories, but they don’t teach the children anything except to read,” said Smith, an engineer with SANDAG. “We thought it was good to have something about the animals in the back just so readers could learn something real about the animals.” And, like he promised, Mackenzie created the illustrations, which Jessica and her father colored using watercolor pencils. “He’s so creative,” said Smith, who noted Mackenzie

She also recently shared “A Bird Lost in Paradise” with her classmates. “I just hope kids like it,” she said. “And I hope that they’re inspired to do something themselves.” To purchase a copy of Jessica’s book, visit www.amazon. com/Bird-Lost-Paradise-Jessica-Smith/dp/1300431660 or www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/jessica-smith/a-bird-lost-inparadise/paperback/product-20983776.html.

Del Mar Hills welcomes parents of 2014-2015 kindergartners to come tour the classrooms and the rest of the school on Monday, March 17, at 8:15 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. There’s no need to reserve a spot ahead of time—just check in at the school office when you arrive. You do not need to reserve a space ahead of time. (Full disclosure: given the date, there is a distinct possibility that local leprechauns may have wreaked some sort of havoc in the school library.) Then, join present students and families at the school’s 21st Century Learning Night, on Thursday, March 27, which begins at 5:30 p.m. You’ll see what your student will learn at Del Mar Hills – way beyond just reading, writing and arithmetic. Join Principal Lerner for an overview of the Common Core shifts in instruction. Then, you will have the opportunity to explore hands-on science, CGI Math, Math Games, Chrome Books, Narrative Chains, P.E. and other fun activities with your child. From 5:30 to 6 p.m., there will be complimentary pizza, courtesy of the PTA, and the entire evening, with break-out sessions, will last until 7:30 p.m. The kindergarten team will accompany Pre-K families to the sessions and be available to answer questions about kindergarten. The program is designed for pre-K through 6th grade students and parents only, but childcare for younger siblings (no infants, please) will be provided courtesy of the PTA if you RSVP at www.delmarhillspta.org.

Sponsorship opportunities available for Summer Twilight Concert Season

First Lego League Team ‘Electrosharks’ completes 2013/14 season “Electrosharks,� a year-round entirely parent-run first lego league robotics team located in Torrey Hills, composed of current and former 3rd-5th grade students from Ocean Air Elementary School, has completed its 2013/14 season after competing in two formal events — the last being the Legoland FLL Cup held Feb. 16. The team has met continually for one to four hours per week on Fridays and/or Sundays for the last three years, and this is their third season competing. During the season, the boys communicated and interviewed firefighters and other disaster response professionals who could educate them on the issues associated with fighting and preventing damage from wildfires. They also put together and programmed one small prototype fire-fighting robot along with several other robots dedicated to completing FLL challenge missions. The team participated in the qualifying tournament at the Preuss School near UC San Diego in November. The team roster included the following students (some students may have left or recently joined — especially as the time requirements have increased and the need for the group to stay small, cohesive, and highly effective has filtered out those with lower level of interest): Ocean Air: Matthew Kang, Alexander Hecker, Alex Tahan, Ehsun Yazdani, Simon Lim, Henry Lee, Joey Stack, Cian Schott; Home School/Kolbe Academy, formerly Ocean Air: Paul Marlowe, Thomas Marlowe; Solana Beach, formerly Ocean Air: Albert Hwang.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Strip Mall vs. Main Street The strip mall is dead. I recently read an article that started out with the sentence…“The American landscape is littered with the decaying corpses of strip malls.” For decades, the strip mall has been characterized by a series of stores connected in a linear fashion and anchored in a sea of surface parking. The strip mall concept grew as our dependency on the automobile grew and as this happened, communities were stripped of once thriving main street cores and public gathering places. Today, the strip malls are marked by cookie-cutter aesthetics, congested parking lots, traffic problems and unsafe walking conditions for pedestrians. But communities are now seeking to move back to a time of vibrant social interaction and spaces that emphasize people over cars. As a native San Diegan, and a 14-year resident in the Torrey Pines Planning Group area just west of Carmel Valley, I strongly support One Paseo, a village-like environment that provides the fundamentals of a main street with residences above stores mixed amongst an employment center. It provides just the density and scale needed to make people the priority. Its forwardthinking vision is firmly rooted in our past where people mingled and spent hours with one another. The gussying up of our existing strip centers is not a bad thing, but it will not take the place of what is sorely lacking in our local community. It’s time to go back to the future and bring Main Street to Carmel Valley. Ian Stewart, Del Mar Resident

To your health: Proton Therapy arrives in San Diego – What does it mean? In February 2014, San Diego County’s first proton treatment center opened its doors for patient care. Carl Rossi, M.D., medical director of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, offers a glimpse into how this advanced treatment can benefit cancer patients. Q: What makes proton therapy different from other current forms of radiation? A: Proton therapy is the most precise form of radiation treatment available today. Conventional X-ray treatment beams penetrate well beyond the tumor, but protons can be controlled to conform precisely to the shape of the tumor and to release most of their energy within the tumor. Protons stop where the tumor stops. Q: How do patients benefit from this precision? A: The accuracy of protons enables doctors to treat tumors with a substantially lower total radiation dose to healthy tissue, compared to the latest X-ray therapy. The beam stops at the tumor, which helps preserve normal tissue. By minimizing harm to healthy tissue, patients tolerate their treatments better and are less likely to have problems in the long run related to their treatment. Q: What’s the harm in low-dose radiation from X-rays? A: At some level, you will always create damage by irradiating healthy tissue. As we get better at curing cancer and people are living longer after treatment, there is cause for concern about long-term side effects. For example, a 2013 report in the New England Journal of Medicine analyzed the records of thousands of breast cancer patients who received X-ray treatments to their left breast. The report found these women developed a higher risk for heart disease, which was directly related to the volume of the heart that was irradiated during treatment. Q: What types of cancer can proton therapy treat effectively? A: Proton therapy is best suited for solid tumors that are 1) localized (i.e., have not spread); 2) situated near sensitive normal tissue; and 3) require high doses of radiation. Specific tumor sites well-suited for proton therapy include breast, lung, prostate, spine, head, neck, brain, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, among others. Proton is also recognized as the preferred form of radiation therapy for many pediatric cancers. Because children’s bodies are still growing, they are extremely sensitive to the harmful effects of radiation. Q: Is proton therapy supported by research? A: Yes, there is a wealth of scientific research studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals that have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of proton therapy. These studies have examined a broad range of tumor sites and have shown a reduced rate of secondary cancers and treatment-related side effects in proton patients, compared to X-ray patients. Q: What is proton treatment like for patients? A: During therapy, patients feel no physical sensation from the proton beam and hear very little noise. Delivery of the proton beam to the patient lasts (on average) only about a minute per treatment field. Time spent in the treatment room is usually about 15 to 25 minutes, for precise patient positioning and equipment adjustments. Afterward, patients are free to go about their daily activities. (Pediatric patients may receive their treatments under anesthesia.) Treatments are typically delivered five days a week for four to eight weeks. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

STATION continued from page 10 The SETI League honored Brown for his technical contributions to amateur SETI science with the Giordano Bruno Memorial Award in 2005. But his contributions weren’t cheap. In all, Brown esti-

mates it has cost about $20,000 to build and maintain his station over the years. But it’s all worth it, he said, because he believes life is out there. “I do, not because I have any evidence, but because the odds are simply in favor of it,” Brown said. “In our Milky Way, there’s 300 billion stars. … There’s billions and billions of galaxies. There’s trillions and trillions of planets. From that, you’ve got to think there’s intelligent life on at least one other one.” For more information about SETI Network, visit www.seti.net.

“How do your k i d s connect to Base 10? If I were to give Marsha Sutton ‘8026’ to my first-graders, they might count by ones. Is that okay? Yeah, if they don’t have that ten-ness yet, that may be what they need to do. You may see different levels of their understanding. But this is very common.” And on she went, involving teachers with activities, questions, ideas, strategies and videos showing young children doing math – some solving the same problem in different, and all equally valid, ways. Prepared as I was to be skeptical, this was fascinating. I found myself immediately drawn into the presentation, which was informal, collaborative and engaging. Brown impressed upon the teachers the need to allow children to develop their own strategies for solving problems, while at the same time providing them with algorithms that work. “Algorithms were developed by mathematicians who know mathematics,” she said. “They already understood mathematics. But if we’re teaching this before I understand Base 10, I may be able to memorize this and produce it and do it, but I might not be building.” Let them use the algorithm, Brown said, and don’t tell them it’s bad or wrong because it’s not. “It’s a good strategy – it’s just not the only strategy,” she said to the teachers. “But it might not develop a Base 10 understanding that we’re looking for.” Kids will invent their own strategies, she said, “and that’s okay, even good. You never know what strategy will make the most sense [to them].”

Counting up Sometimes as adults we forget how the principles of simple math that come naturally were once taught to us at a young age. For example, we don’t think about how counting up to solve subtraction problems is different than counting down. We just … solve it. Consider this: How many more do I need to get from 26 to 80? This as opposed to: What’s 80 take away 26? “When I see a child start with the amount and count to, they’re going to be looking at the difference, versus subtraction as taking away,” Brown explained. “That’s a huge jump. Huge jump. I used to have sixth-graders who still didn’t understand why we used the word ‘difference’ for subtraction.” The strategies Brown shared with teachers, she said, are rooted in what makes sense. “What if it were 80 take away 10?” she said. “Do I want them to start at 10 and count up? Or would I want them to count back? I’d want them to count back. What if it were 80 take away 79? We want them to count up.” “They’re starting to understand that addition and subtraction are related, and can use addition to solve subtraction,” she said. “That’s a pretty big ‘aha’ when your kids start to learn that.” Take, for example, counting back change at a cash register. “I used to do a whole unit on money in fourth grade and none of my kids could count back change,” Brown said. “I used to think, what is going on? “What happens is the minute I learn the subtraction algorithm, I no longer am flexible to think that I can count back. The only way to do subtraction is to line up, cross out, do this, do that …” Once certain strategies

them without understanding the principles behind them. And they block out alternative ways of thinking. They do what they are taught without thinking about the actual problem and how it might be solved differently. As an example, Brown wrote on the whiteboard the problem 1000-999 like this: 1000 - 999 Do students really need to work this out on paper, with borrowing? Some do, because they were taught to solve problems in a certain way, without thinking logically. Or take this problem: 17 -8 Does it make sense to “borrow” from the 10s column by crossing off the 1 and writing a little 1 to the left of the 7? Of course not, but many students will do that because that’s how they were taught. Brown said when students learn algorithms and strategies and don’t know why they are being taught to solve problems that way, they use the rules but often don’t have a clear understanding of why. It becomes a case of, “I just do it because that’s what I’m supposed to do,” she said. “So when we think about mathematically proficient students, we want kids to look at numbers and make the decision which strategy is going to be most efficient.” Brown asked teachers to question their triedand-true methods. “I want you to be curious, not only about your kids but about activities you’ve done forever,” she said. “Is it just an activity they’ve learned to do because I taught them? That’s a question I always ask myself.” Blown away True confession: I was blown away. This is what the shift to Common Core

each child’s individual creativity, imagination and ability to find solutions to problems in unique and original ways. And if teaching teachers how to explore and embrace instructional techniques that give children the freedom to discover solutions on their own, then how is that controversial? The problem in Del Mar, however, seems not to be opposition to the principles behind the professional development. Rather, the controversy has mostly been about the lost classroom time for students when their teachers are absent for the training. Providing training outside of classroom time is the goal, McClurg said, but there are obstacles, mostly having to do with the labor contract which restricts when teachers can be compelled to attend meetings, training sessions or other district business. The early-dismissal Wednesdays, a source of great frustration for many parents, became incorporated into the Del Mar teachers’ contract over a decade ago, well before McClurg came to the DMUSD. Although she said the contract language could potentially be changed if teachers agree, most believe it’s unlikely. Two Wednesdays each month, teachers are required to stay at school after the 12:30 p.m. dismissal for meetings and training sessions, while their afternoons are free the other two Wednesdays. “Those are not work hours on [those ‘go’] Wednesday afternoons,” McClurg said. “That is part of the contract. We do try to schedule things and have trainings and meetings on those days as much as possible, but it’s not in their contract. … So other than encouraging attendance and paying them, we can’t require attendance.” “When I was assis-

tant superintendent we did schedule quite a bit on [those] Wednesday afternoons and paid teachers to attend,” she said. “But it’s still an opt-in situation.” Former DMUSD parent Melissa Myrhum said her children’s teachers were often missing from the classroom not just for professional development but also to attend district committee meetings. “Why can’t these meetings be held after school?” Myrhum said. “They work six hours a day. Where do you have a job that’s only six hours per day and you can’t have a meeting after school? Why are they having these meetings during class time?” “We do try to do as much after school as possible,” McClurg said. “Ideally that would be great.” But committee meetings usually run all day, she said, so meeting from 3 to 5 p.m. after school would require four meetings. “So that becomes a bit less efficient because obviously you have a reset for each meeting,” she said. And again, the labor contract prohibits compulsory attendance at meetings after school hours. McClurg said she understands parents’ objections and is working with union leaders to find mutually acceptable alternatives that would provide the necessary training without disrupting the children’s class time with their teachers. “We’re hearing it and addressing it,” she said. “Last summer we did initiate a math institute where our teachers had five days of in-service during the summer time, so we are trying.” Next week: Final addendum, with associated costs, on Del Mar’s struggle to find a balance between the competing needs for professional development and classroom consistency.

After all the hubbub about what some say is an excessive amount of teacher training in the Del Mar Union School District, I asked to sit in on a professional development session. DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg enthusiastically agreed and set me up with a session for the district’s kindergarten, first- and second-grade teachers on Feb. 10. Led by Dinah Brown, the training session drew me in completely, from the first moment. Brown, DMUSD’s coordinator of curriculum and instruction who was hired full-time by the DMUSD last year, discussed strategies that allow students to think differently than the “one right way” to solve problems. About 30 teachers gathered around tables in groups of four or five each, generally organized by schools (the district has eight). The all-day training focused on mathematics, specifically subtraction (addition was done previously). The problem being discussed was 80-26. Teachers shared how their students might approach the problem in various ways. Brown said kindergartners and firstgraders might solve the problem by counting by ones. “If you gave numbers that high and they don’t have that ‘ten-ness’ yet, they might count out 80 [pieces] and that’s not horrible,” Brown said. “They don’t know to use tens yet. They’re still making sense of it. But they can still solve those kinds of problems.” They don’t have that “ten-ness” yet? Brown said understanding the concept of Base 10 is “so very, very important.” At some point in their learning, young students will discover “tenness,” she said. Brown elaborated:

San Diego Surf Boys Team wins Cal State Championship The San Diego Surf Soccer Club Boys Academy I Under 9 team won the prestigious CalSouth President’s Division Championship on March 9. CalSouth is the official youth and adults state soccer association in Southern California and its annual tournament represents the highest level of competition with over 140 teams competing in the Boys’ under 9 division. The President’s Division represents the top 54 teams from the participating clubs from Santa Barbara to San Diego. To win the championship title, the Surf team competed against some of the best teams in California over the course of four weeks while winning eight straight games. In their final two games, against the Total Football Academy in the semifinals and the Golden State Soccer Club Pre Development Academy in the finals, the Surf team surrendered a total of only 1 goal [behind its strong defense and stellar goalie Ramon Lucero], while scoring 4 goals of their own. “I am extremely proud of the team,” said Coach Dave Currie, a longtime Surf coach. “They played each game with a lot of focus and passion. In our quarterfinals game against LA Galaxy, we were down three goals at half, and yet these boys did not give up and came back to win the game. That shows amazing character and composure for such young boys.” Wayne Harrison, San Diego Surf Soccer Club Boys Academy director of coaching, commended the team for its outstanding effort and added “At Surf, we try to develop the individual player as well as the entire team. We train the boys with a long-term view. We believe in both development and winning; and, in particular, winning the right way so that they can continue to be successful at older ages.” The Surf team’s championship victory in the CalSouth tournament demonstrates a continued strong trend in San Diego soccer, showing why San Diego is becoming a bastion of youth soccer that is competitive with the best teams in the country.

BU15 Rancho Santa Fe Attack

From Rec All-Star Conversion to Perennial Contender Five years ago, Carmel Valley dad and coach Marc Muchnick took a Sharks Recreational All-Star Team to the Manchester Soccer Club to see if they could compete in the world of competitive youth soccer. That year the team was designated as an AA-C team and went undefeated through the Presidio League. They were moved up to AA-B for the Presidio Cup and were undefeated there too. The following two years they competed in AA-A for the full Presidio season, each time with strong winning records and berths in numerous tournament finals. Last year the team was promoted to AAA and produced another hard-fought winning season, after which the Manchester Club went through dramatic changes. Coach Muchnick vowed to keep the boys together and successfully transitioned the team to the Rancho Santa Fe Attack Soccer Club. Muchnick is quick to credit the boys for the amazing experience it has been. Many of the boys on the team have been playing soccer, baseball and basketball together in Carmel Valley since they were in kindergarten. “They all work really hard at improving every day. All their success on the soccer field is reason enough to celebrate these talented young men, but when you consider that most of them came straight out of recreational soccer, it’s amazing how well they’ve been able to compete head on with boys that have played competitive soccer all of their lives.” With the full support of the boys and their families, Muchnick’s team is now poised to take their game to the next level. In January the team traveled to the Vegas Cup, at the end of March they will make their first State Cup appearance, and this July they will journey to the United Kingdom to play in the Keele Cup outside of Manchester. The sky is certainly the limit for this group. When asked where the team will go next, Coach Muchnick smiled and said, “I am excited that we’re visiting Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester this summer and competing in the UK with teams from around the world. In our regular season this fall, we’re taking it up another notch to play in one of the Development Academy Leagues here in Southern California, which is a huge leap but I know the boys can handle it.” Muchnick, who volunteers his time as coach, holds a competitive coaching “E” license through Cal South. Professionally Dr. Muchnick holds a Ph.D. in industrial-organizational psychology, is an online business school professor, and is founder of People First Group, a management consulting firm specializing in team building, performance improvement, and leadership development. Muchnick’s RSF Attack team will be hosting local fundraisers this month – including a bake sale, and a garage sale – to help subsidize the cost of their upcoming team trip to Europe. “LIKE” the Team on Facebook at Attack the Keele Cup for ongoing updates.

Mustangs Youth Rugby win Under 8 and Under 10 SharkFest Competitive Division titles The San Diego Youth Mustangs Rugby Club’s U8 and U10 Senior Teams won their respective division titles at the Back Bay SharkFest Youth Rugby Tournament held in Newport Beach on March 8. Both teams went undefeated in the tournament. The Back Bay SharkFest Youth Rugby Tournament is the de facto Southern California Youth (U8 to U12) Rugby Championship Tournament, bringing together the best youth rugby teams from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. Both the Mustangs U8 and U10 Teams faced the Back Bay Sharks in the Competitive Division finals. The Mustangs U10 Team fought a tough defensive game stopping two critical Back Bay scoring opportunities just inches from the try line. The U10s took the title with a 5 - 0 win, with the single try of the game being scored by Adam Slack. MVP of the U10 tournament was the Mustangs Riley Elliott. The Mustangs U8 Team faced the very evenly matched Back Bay Sharks in a match that featured strong defensive coverage and offensive plays by both teams. The U8 Mustangs won the game 20 -10 with three tries scored by Declan Cadden and one try by Cole Curtis. Rocco Pool led the team with two assists. Declan Cadden was named the MVP of the U8 tournament. Club President David Pool commented “this is a fantastic performance by our young players and is a credit to both the players and the coaching program we have developed.” The Mustangs’ Junior U10 Team placed 3rd in the U10 Developmental Division and the Junior U8 Team placed 4th in their Developmental Division.

Cathedral Catholic Girls Soccer Team wins third CIF Championship Cathedral Catholic’s dynasty is into its third decade and still going strong. The Dons (in photo above) won their third consecutive San Diego Section title after defeating Scripps Ranch 2-0 in the Division I championship game on March 8 at San Diego Mesa College. The Dons have won divisional championships in 10 of last 14 years and have appeared in title game in all but two of the last 26 seasons. Their most recent championship sends the Dons to the Southern California Regional championships. They were scheduled to open the tournament against St. Joseph of Lakewood on March 11 (after presstime for this newspaper). Alyssa Fiddes and Audrey Hegardt each scored one goal to lead the Dons. Kelsey Irwin and Olivia Elrbeck each contributed one assist. Dons goalie Hanna Macaulay was credited with the shutout. The title game victory followed a 3-0 semifinal victory over Patrick Henry on March 4 in which Sunny Dunphy, Tamara Gomez and Fiddes each scored one goal and Olivia Erlbeck contributed two assists. Macaulay was credited with the shutout. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 23-3-3. — Report by Gideon Rubin. Courtesy photo

SECTION B

Canyon Crest Academy Foundation to celebrate school’s 10th anniversary with Beatles-themed gala By Kristina Houck Canyon Crest Academy opened in 2004 with 364 students in 19 trailers in a parking lot. Today, the Carmel Valley school has grown to 1,880 students and a full range of academics, athletics and arts programs made possible by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the school, the parent-led organization is hosting its annual gala May 16 at CCA’s Proscenium Theater. “The school’s growth in the community, academic achievements, cultural achievements, sports achievements — everything — has exceeded my expectations as a community member,” said Amy Caterina, president of the foundation’s board. “The school is very successful.” With “Across the Universe: A Tribute to the Beatles,” as this year’s theme, the gala will recognize the 10th anniversary of the school and the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ debut in the United States. In the style of an old Hollywood opening night, guests will walk the red carpet, pose for the paparazzi and feast on Beatles-themed treats as they make their way through an “Octopus’s Garden” to the show. The musical, theatrical and artistic extravaganza will feature songs from the Beatles and students from CCA’s Envision programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music. “We wanted to really throw away the old model of a gala and not do something offsite where we spend our money at a hotel,” said Joanne Couvrette, the foundation’s executive director. “We wanted to spend money at the school and make the event centered around our students.” Last year, the foundation spent thousands holding the gala at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. By holding the event on campus this year, the foundation is investing in the school. The foundation has already purchased portable, multi-colored, computer-controlled lights for the Proscenium Theater, as well as other equipment, that students can use for years to come. “That’s why we’re here,” Caterina said. “This is our job — to support the school.” Holding the gala on campus also gives the foundation an opportunity to increase student involvement in the event. From event posters to gala entertainment, students are involved in every aspect of the occasion this year, Couvrette said. “When people see the students’ involvement, they understand why they need to donate,” Couvrette said.

Through the school’s ROP Business Management class, King helps operate NEST, the student-run café at CCA. Using her restaurant experience, King is developing the appetizer menu for the gala and will train a team of students to assist with the appetizer table at the event. “It’s been nice to get the experience of being at a meeting, communicating with other people and coming up with ideas for the appetizer table,” said King, who wants to be a chef. “You can really be creative in the kitchen. I like serving others and seeing their faces as they taste the food.” “These kids need to have experience and exposure in the fields that they’re interested in,” added Caterina. “Access and opportunity — that’s a big piece of what these kids need to ultimately be successful in their chosen field.” The gala opening night of “Across the Universe: A Tribute to the Beatles” begins at 5:30 p.m. May 16 at the Proscenium Theater. Gala tickets cost $75. The foundation is also selling aluminum chair plaques for Proscenium Theater seats. Plaques cost $500. Those interested may purchase discounted gala tickets with a plaque. A plaque and one ticket is $525. A plaque and two tickets is $575. Proceeds will benefit the foundation, which supports CCA’s academics, athletics and arts programs. “Canyon Crest Academy is an amazing school,” said Caterina, whose daughter, a CCA senior, is currently interning at Birch Aquarium through the school. “It’s been a real privilege to get to know the teachers and the staff better through my involvement in the foundation. I would love to encourage other parents to get more

Golf and gala fundraiser for Navy SEALs set for March 22 at Del Mar Country Club By Kristina Houck Nearly 400 people are expected to gather and raise funds for military families during the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation’s third annual fundraiser March 22 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Founded in 2008, the nonprofit organization supports Navy SEALs and their families. “San Diego is such a military town with the Navy and Marines,” said Dominique Plewes, who is co-chairing the event with her mother, Madeleine Pickens. She noted that the cause is also personal as her father, Robert Richter, served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. “We’ve always been very pro-military and want to help our military,” she said. Although the fundraiser has always taken place at the Del Mar Country Club, which is owned by Pickens, this is the first time the mother-daughter duo is chairing the event. “This foundation came to the Del Mar Country Club and I met a lot of the families — the wives, the children and the husbands,” said Plewes, who now serves on the foundation’s board. “I just felt very moved to see what this foundation can do to really make a difference in their lives.” Recording artist and “American Idol” finalist Jessica Sanchez will sing the National Anthem at this year’s fundraiser. Born and raised in Chula Vista, the 18-year-old’s father is a Navy veteran and currently serves in the Navy Reserve. “She is bringing her mom and dad to the event,” Plewes said. “I’m very excited. She has an amazing voice.” The fundraiser will kick off with a scramble golf tournament, followed in the evening with a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, and dinner and entertainment. Featured speakers include Vice Adm. Robert S. Harward,

Photo/Tony and Marion, Elegant Photography Jr., a Navy SEAL and former deputy commander of the U.S. Central Command, as well as Michael Thornton, retired Navy SEAL and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. “We have some amazing auction items and we have some amazing speakers,” Plewes said. “I think, overall, it will be different from last year and a lot of fun.” Through its various fundraisers, the foundation in 2012 raised $2.2 million, including more than $500,000 for the Ty Woods and Glen Dougherty Memorial Funds. Funds support a variety of programs and organizations, including NSWKids, a nonprofit that provides funding for educational testing and tutoring to families in the NSW community, and The Rosie Network, an online search tool that promotes businesses owned by veterans and military spouses. Plewes hopes this year’s golf and gala fundraiser will raise $1 million. Although tickets are already sold out, she encouraged people to donate online and attend the May 3 fundraiser at the Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica.

Girl Scouts from the Solana Ranch service unit participated in “World Thinking Day” on March 7 at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. During World Thinking Day, girls participated in activities and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. The theme this year was “education opens doors for all girls and boys,” and the importance of educating girls as the most powerful and effective way to reduce global poverty. Each troop chose a country of interest to research and present. In the weeks leading up to the event, the scouts made display boards, chose cuisine that was representative of the country, and prepared songs or skits to perform. At the event, the girls enjoyed “visiting” each country, and having their passport stamped as they learned about the country’s culture, food, education and history. Some of the countries represented were Egypt, Ireland, Mexico, Israel, China, France, Taiwan and Italy. The event was attended by 16 troops with more than 185 girl scouts, along with family and friends. Everyone enjoyed the education and fun of this important event.

•Rachel’s parents will also establish a foundation in her honor All of the Legacy Bricks honoring Don Diego Scholarship Foundation recipients are as special as the scholars they represent. The bricks of scholars, board members and contributors embellish pathways at the Don Diego Legacy Brick Fountain in the Plaza de México at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. No brick is more special than that of Rachel Dawson, who received a scholarship in 1996 as she graduated from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. Rachel qualified for the $5,000 scholarship by exhibiting a prize-winning family quilt at the San Diego County Fair. She received additional scholarships, all totaling $17,000, enabling her to earn a BFA in Costume Design from Cal Arts after attending the Rhode Island School of Design and Pasadena Art Center. She was an Old Globe costume intern, worked for Disney Imagineering, designed puppets, painted portraits, sold hand-cut stationery and was planning a career in fabric and surface design. Rachel passed away from leukemia at age 34 on January 20, 2013. This serene and incredibly talented young woman accomplished much in her brief life, says her mother, Donna Dawson. “She was like a comet, impressing people with her creativity, kindness and generosity, and then suddenly was gone. Two months after Rachel died, I received a beautiful bouquet of birthday roses from her. She had ordered them way ahead of time, in case she would not be here to give them to me herself.” Donna and her husband, Larry, plan to establish a

foundation in their daughter’s honor, saying, “We want Rachel’s creative spirit to live on and be nurtured in others.” For more on the foundation, contact the Dawsons at 619295-2705. Don Diego Executive Director Chana Mannen states, “Although we at Don Diego are very sad at Rachel’s passing, we are amazed at her accomplishments and gratified that our scholarship could help her pursue her goals. Now, thanks to the Dawsons’ foundation, other young adults will be able to pursue theirs.” Rachel Dawson, all scholars dating back to the program’s 1986 inception, and everyone who has purchased a customized Don Diego Legacy Brick will be feted on the Fair’s June 7, 2014 opening day at a Legacy Brick Celebration honoring inaugural contributors. Proceeds from each brick support Don Diego’s mission of providing college scholarships to outstanding San Diego County high school seniors who have participated in Del Mar Fairgrounds events, as well as grants for agricultural education.

Local filmmaker to hold fundraiser to benefit orphaned children in Afghanistan By Diane Y. Welch On Friday evening, March 28, about 1,000 people are anticipated to convene at the Spreckels Theatre in downtown San Diego for a charity debut event that will directly impact the most vulnerable people of war-ravaged Afghanistan: its orphaned children. “The House of Hope International Concert & Ball” has been initiated and organized by Samir Zakir, 23, founder of the benefitting charity, Peace In Afghanistan (PIA), and owner of the movie production company Zakir Pictures, which is supporting PIA. The event will feature a musical show that spotlights Afghan and Persian singers, musicians, and dancers. Authentic Afghanistan food will be provided by Hillcrest’s Khyber Pass. Stars from “The Real Housewives of Beverly

Samir Zakir Courtesy photo Hills” television reality show will be present, along with many other surprise celebrity guests, said Zakir. Monies raised from sales of tickets and a silent auction will benefit an orphanage and adoption project. “Currently these Afghan children are housed in a non-financed facility that is rundown and sorely inadequate,” said Zakir. “This new home, in Kabul, will be a safe house for these

beautiful children who don’t have a dollar to their names and no family to take care of them. They literally have nothing.” Zakir learned of these vulnerable children through his grandfather, Shafi Zakir, who is the vice president for a San Marcosbased charity, the Afghan Family Development Organization (AFDO). It provides financial means and other resources to Afghanistan’s war-devastated and destitute individuals and families, according to its website. More recently, AFDO partnered with the Afghan Prenatal Relief Project, donating $60,000 for the building of two prenatal clinics in remote parts of Afghanistan, facilities that are run by women and employ female doctors and nurses. “The hardships for some Afghanistan women is inhumane.

usual for them to die giving birth because their husbands won’t allow them to see a male doctor. It’s very sad,” Zakir explained. “Many of these babies then end up as orphans. With the PIA foundation we can now house them and make the adoption of these beautiful children possible.” The past year found Zakir faced with his own hardship when the grips of a seven- month-long depression caused him to withdraw from daily life. “I couldn’t go to meetings, I literally couldn’t talk to anyone. I had lost my focus. It was the worst experience of my life,” he said. When he sought treatment the underlying cause came to light. “I had been in a six -year relationship with my girlfriend and it didn’t allow me to develop and grow as a person. We were too young and the long relationship took its toll,” Zakir explained. By January, with his recovery and renewed energy, Zakir was able to finally

focus on his two parallel passions: the movie business and his foundation. Zakir Pictures has received financing, primarily through European connections, to move forward with the production of two films, “Money, Power and Everything Else” and “Facade,” both thrillers that are slated for release next year, according to Zakir. And in April, Zakir will travel to Kabul — protected by 13 bodyguards — to allocate the funds raised from the charity event that will finance the new orphanage. Tickets to “The House of Hope International Concert and Ball” are available at www.peaceinafghanistan.com and cost $200 each. Guests should arrive at 6:30 p.m. for a black tie, formal, red carpet entry, followed by a silent auction with luxury items that include $300,000 worth of art pieces donated by Celebration Fine Art Gallery, and precious jewelry and gemstone pieces. Event sponsors include Coca Cola, Rolex, Heaven Sent Desserts, Royal Maui Jewelers, Zakir Pictures and more.

Bellini’s Antique Italia brings a touch of Italy to Solana Beach By Kristina Houck A fifth-generation Italian antique dealer, Jacopo Bellini grew up searching for hidden gems. “It’s fun,â€? Bellini said. “It’s treasure hunting. There’s always something that I fall in love with.â€? Born and raised in Milan with ancestral heritage in Florence, Bellini shares his culture through the Italian antiques he brings to his store. Located in Solana Beach’s Design District, Bellini’s Antique Italia offers 17th century to mid-20th century modern Italian antiques, as well as contemporary dĂŠcor pieces. Hand-picked for their master craftsmanship, every piece has its own story. “Sometimes you can tell the story because you bought it from a family that has owned the piece for a long time,â€? Bellini said. “With 20th mid-century pieces, there is a story related to the designer who designed the piece.â€? Bellini relocated to the United States in 2000. For two years, he worked as an antique buyer and restorer before opening his own store in Solana Beach. “Coming from Italy, I’m used to people walking the streets,â€? he said. “La Jolla, Little Italy and Solana Beach were the only three places where I saw people walking.â€? Bellini’s Antique Italia opened in 2002 at the corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive before it moved to its current, more visible location across the street about a decade later.

Although he wanted to continue the family business, Bellini wanted to open his store overseas. “I realized that dream,� he said. “If you ever watched an Italian movie and liked what you see in the movies, how their houses were warm and charming, you can find the same feeling here,� Bellini added. “My goal is to bring here the best of Italy.� Bellini’s Antique Italia is located at 117 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach.

Featuring delicious cuisine, music by Wayne Foster Entertainment and a high-energy live auction, the fundraising gala benefited maternal and child health services at Scripps Mercy Hospital’s San Diego and Chula Vista campuses. Scripps Mercy Hospital has one of the most active maternal and child health programs in San Diego County. Proceeds from Mercy Ball will be used to improve the delivery of care and to modernize facilities so that patients and their families have a more comfortable, homelike setting.

Longtime Del Mar resident Lois Stanton chaired the 43rd annual Mercy Ball, which raised funds for maternal and child health services at Scripps Mercy Hospital’s San Diego and Chula Vista campuses. Photo/Kristina Houck A Kansas native, Stanton was raised by parents very active in their hometown. “It’s in one’s DNA,” she said. “Growing up on a farm in Kansas, we were always helping our neighbors in need, whether it was my dad helping somebody harvest or build a barn, or my mom working at the church and the PTA.” While her husband — who is also from Kansas — went to medical school, Stanton worked as an eighth-

and ninth-grade English teacher in St. Louis. In 1970, the couple relocated to San Diego, where Stanton’s husband trained at UC San Diego before joining Scripps. Stanton worked as a teacher, and later the director, of a local cooking school. After she retired, she dedicated her time to giving back to others. In addition to her work on behalf of Scripps Mercy, she began volunteering with Social Service League of La Jolla in 1985, serving as president of the organization from 1993 to 1995 and 2009 to 2012. She has also been an active member of the Village Garden Club of La Jolla. For the past several years, Stanton has volunteered on the Mercy Ball Committee, this year serving as chair. “I’ve had a great committee to work with,” she said. “It’s been a really good group.” With “Celebrating Families” the theme of this year’s fundraiser, Stanton said she and the other organizers had no trouble selling out the venue. Roughly 500 people attended the function, compared to last year’s 450 attendees. The event featured dinner, dancing, a live auction and live entertainment. Longtime Scripps supporters Mary and Dan Mulvihill were also honored during the event. “Scripps Mercy is a place I feel very comfortable and very at home,” Stanton said. “I believe in it.” For more information about Scripps Mercy Hospital, visit www.scripps.org/locations/hospitals__scripps-mercyhospital.

GRAHAM BLAIR

By Kristina Houck Although her husband is a doctor at Scripps Mercy, Lois Stanton spends much of her time working for the hospital, too. The Del Mar resident has helped raise funds for the hospital since the mid-1970s when her husband, Dr. William Stanton, first joined the medical staff. Today, her husband serves as medical director of the Scripps Cancer Center at Scripps Mercy Hospital’s San Diego campus, and Stanton recently served as chairwoman of the 43rd annual Mercy Ball March 8 at The Grand Del Mar (see event photos on page B12). “It’s all about giving back,” said Stanton, who moved to Del Mar with her husband in 1975. Funds raised at the event will benefit maternal and child health services at Scripps Mercy Hospital’s San Diego and Chula Vista campuses. Together they comprise the largest hospital in San Diego County and one of the largest in California, according to the Scripps website. Scripps Mercy is also the county’s longest established hospital providing more than 120 years of service. Although the hospital offers high-quality care, Stanton said the maternal and child health facilities are in need of upgrades. “They really are in need of renovation,” said Stanton, who recently toured the facilities at both campuses. “The care is excellent — top notch — but we’ve got to fix this up and make it pretty. “I need to give back to my mamas and babies at Mercy.”

Head over heels – Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day with fabulous cabbage The Kitchen Shrink

Angela Ordway Angela Ordway can be contacted through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, at 858-945-1189, or via email at aordway@bhhscal. com.

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Tripping through the cabbage patch you’ll find some remarkable leafy Brassicas ranging from pale green to bright magenta. It’s time to pay homage to this mighty cruciferous warrior, and especially a tip ‘o the hat to the Irish who enjoy this gem solo or paired with corned beef on St. Paddy’s Day. Turn over a New Leaf Cabbages belong to the Crucifera family, translating from the Latin word for “cross” as the flowers are shaped like a crucifix. Relatives include kale, collards, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and sprouting broccoli, while the line-up of true cabbages are the following: •The pedestrian green head of tightly packed, smooth, moist leaves that can swell to soccer ball size is ideal for slaws, soups, stuffed cabbage rolls, braising, steaming or fermenting in a salty brine for a homemade sauerkraut that packs a probiotic punch. •Red cabbage is endowed with its gorgeous violet hue (and highest Vitamin C content of all cabbage siblings) from compounds made up of sugar and pigments called anthocyanidines. Smaller in size than green heads, look for solid heft and also tightly packed leaves. Red adds a nice crunch and splash of eye candy to salads and slaws, and is scrumptious braised in a hearty sweet and sour Bavarian side dish. One drawback – red cabbage transforms to a funky bluish tinge when cooked. Add a sprinkling of lemon juice or vinegar to the pot to curb the metamorphosis. •Savoy has delicate

dark green ruffled leaves that curl back on the head. More tender in taste and texture than the greenheaded, Savoy multi-tasks in salads, stir-fries, soups, assorted wraps or a braised side dish. •Napa or Chinese cabbage is elliptical-shaped resembling a romaine lettuce with pale green leaves sprouting from white stalks. Mild peppery notes make it a great choice for kimchi, stir-fries, egg roll or dumpling stuffings, slaws and sweet and sour cabbage soup. •Bok choy has dark green tender leaves flowering from a thick opaquely white stalk. The flavor is reminiscent of baby spinach or Swiss chard and is wonderful in clear broths, sautéed mixed vegetables, omelettes and stir-fries. Cook’s tip – To diminish the typical “stinky” odor from cooking cabbage, add a dash of chili pepper to the water. A Head Above the Rest A century ago cabbage was sneered at as a peasant’s food, while today it is lauded as a nutritional powerhouse with anticancerous and anti-aging properties. Loaded with the amino acid glutamine (especially in the raw form) to bolster the health of the gut, cabbage has also been linked to alleviating stomach ulcers. Rife with calcium to amp up bone health, Vitamin K for the production of blood clotting proteins, Vitamin C for immune support, B for calming the nerves and A for cellular regeneration. Packed with potassium cabbage helps regulate blood pressure, and quercetin acts as a natural antihistamine to put the skids on seasonal allergies. There’s more. Cabbage has a mother lode of powerful antioxidants, which not only stimulate detoxifying enzymes, but lower “bad” cholesterol. Shreds of Truth A precocious crop that is fully-grown in three months, cabbage is one of

the highest yielding vegetables on the planet. A concoction of cabbage and vinegar has been found to be an effective hangover remedy. Cabbage leaves strategically placed are used to alleviate painful and engorged breasts in lactating moms.

This traditional Irish dish called Colcannon originally served as a predictor of marriage for nubile girls is now a fave on St. Paddy’s Day. Irish Colcannon 2 pounds redskin potatoes 1 Savoy or green cabbage head, trimmed, cored, sliced 1/2 cup scallions, coarsely chopped 1 cup milk 4 tablespoons sweet butter Sea salt and black pepper to taste Fresh chopped parsley or chives Cut potatoes in chunks, leaving skin on. In a saucepan covering with water boil until tender. Drain, mash and set aside. In another large saucepan boil cabbage with milk and seasonings until tender. Combine with potatoes; add scallions and 3 tablespoons of butter. Blend well until butter is melted. Transfer to a serving dish. Make a well in the center and add the remaining 1-tablespoon of butter. Garnish with parsley or chives. For additional Irish and non-Irish recipes email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.
