BY JOE TASH School district officials stressed Thursday, June 19, that no guarantees or promises were being made to students on the wait-list for the San Dieguito High School Academy regarding attendance at the school this fall. But they did pledge to explore options to take in more students for the upcoming school year, while also forming a task force to seek long-term solutions to the problem of too many students seeking too few seats at two of the San Dieguito Union High School District’s four high school campuses. “It’s top of the page. We’re on it,” said Superintendent Rick Schmitt, addressing parents whose children were denied admission to San Dieguito Academy this fall for lack of space. The issue arose earlier this month, when parents of some of the 65 students wait-listed at San Dieguito for this See SCHOOL, page 19

Del Mar to host Breeders’ Cup in 2017

TPHS alumnus a nominee for the 2014 Major League Soccer All Star game BY KAREN BILLING A.J. Soares, the only Major League Soccer player to come out of Torrey Pines High School, is having one of his best professional seasons this year. The 25-yearold athlete has been the New England Revolution’s most consistent presence on defense this year, playing every minute of every game so far. Soares has also helped the team on the attacking end, scoring a memorable goal at Philadelphia in week 11. Soares’ strong efforts have made him a nominee

for the MLS All Star game. Fan votes will decide whether Soares gets the chance to represent the United States and showcase the league in a match against Germany’s Bayern Munich. The All Star game will be held on Aug. 6 in Portland and will air on ESPN2. Fans can vote for Soares online at mlssoccer.com/allstar/2014/vote through July 11. The center defenseman is now in his fourth season with the New England Revolution.

Soares played with San Diego Surf Soccer from the time he was 7 years old until he was 18. His best memories from the early Surf days are of the San Diego Surf Cup, a tournament held every summer at the San Diego

Del Mar Rotary Club updated on Caltrans’ North Coast Corridor Program

New power line project to come through Carmel Valley, Torrey Hills

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Rotary Club received an update on Caltrans’ North Coast Corridor Program at its June 19 meeting — $6.5 billion worth of transportation improvement work that will be phased out over the next 40 years. According to Arturo Jacobo, Caltrans project manager, Caltrans and SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) have created a comprehensive strategy for the corridor that includes highway improvements that move people not just cars, rail and transit improvements, coastal access improvements, and the protection of 170 acres of coastal and lagoon habitats. The long-range development plan will be presented to the Coastal Commission for approval on Aug. 13-14 in San Diego. The first phase of the plan is fully funded, Jacobo said. The first phase of the plan includes high occupancy vehicle lanes from Manchester to SR-78 and double tracking 1.1 miles of railway south of the Sorrento Valley Station to allow for more trains and improved services. Construction is also ex-

BY KAREN BILLING SDG&E will construct and operate a new 230 kilovolt (kV) line between the existing Penasquitos substation near the Torrey Hills’ Vons on Carmel Mountain Road and the Sycamore Canyon substation at MCAS Miramar. The project is an effort to increase the efficiency and supply of renewable generated power to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) grid; to help accomplish that, CAISO has identified a need for a new transmission line to connect the two substations. Representatives from SDG&E were scheduled to attend the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board meeting on June 17 to discuss the project but did not show up. However, the board’s SDG&E representative, Richard Quasarano, was able to give some of the details about the project for the people who attended the meeting to hear about the line. The project is following the path that the Sunrise Powerlink would have taken if approved in its originally proposed route. In 2010, when the Powerlink was approved, it was determined that the last segment between these two substations was not needed and could be avoided by making less costly upgrades to the Sycamore Canyon substation. Quasarano said the need for the project now was prompted by two major decisions in the state — the removal of Carlsbad’s seawater cooling system at the Encina power station and the shut-down of the San Onofre nuclear power plant. Those decisions caused California Inde-

pected to begin in January 2015 on the Genesee interchange improvements, which will also include a type-1 bike facility between the Sorrento Valley Station and UC San Diego. Jacobo said the aging I-5 has gone more than 40 years without major capacity improvements. The widening project hopes to improve regional mobility to the “lifeline to San Diego”— the freeway handles over 700,000 daily trips and the demand is expected to grow. Jacobo said they selected the smallest footprint possible to widen I-5. The project will include four new general-purpose lanes in each direction, plus two carpool lanes similar to what is seen on I-15 but not separated by a concrete barrier. For the entire 27-mile corridor, they are also adding a separated type-1 bike lane. “We will be building a lot of retaining walls,” Jacobo said. “It’s going to look very different in the future. A lot of those slopes will be removed and replaced with walls.” Jacobo said they won’t be “typical grade” retaining

walls” as they will use earth tone colors and aim to reflect some of the character of the community — such as the public art seen in Solana Beach retaining walls. Jacobo said there has been an “unprecedented amount of work” with environmental resource agencies to let them know how they can mitigate the widening project. Work includes restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon and lengthening the highway bridge over the lagoon to improve tidal flow. A new trail suspended from the highway bridge at Manchester Avenue will provide north-south trail connectivity, and Jacobo said they also plan to create a park and ride lot that can also be used by the San Elijo Lagoon nature center with charging stations and bathrooms. They also plan to create a class 1 bike trail on old Sorrento Valley Road. Since 2003, Jacobo said Caltrans has worked very hard on the I-5/SR-56 interchange project, which seeks to make the connections never made between I-5 South and 56-East and 56West to I-5 North.

pendent System Operator (CAISO) to reconfigure the transmission power lines in the area and SDG&E won the bid process for the Sycamore to Penasquitos portion as it owns the right of ways and the structures that can be improved. The project is within the existing right of way, replacing and relocating existing electric transmission and power line facilities within the utility corridor. It involves the construction of approximately 8.31 miles of new tubular steel poles between the existing Sycamore Canyon substation, running parallel to Carmel Valley Road through Del Mar Mesa Preserve and Carmel Valley’s Neighborhood 10, replacing the wooden poles that are out there currently. While some parts of the line are being undergrounded between Torrey Hills and Miramar, the lines can’t go underground in the canyons or the preserve. “Removing the wooden poles and putting in steel poles is good because we live in a heavy fire load area that hasn’t burned since I’ve lived here,” said Laura Copic, Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s Neighborhood 10 representative. “More of a concern to me is how construction is going to be managed, there will possibly be explosions, helicopters…I imagine the construction impact will be significant.” Copic said she felt like the community notification from SDG&E regarding the project was “disingenuous” and didn’t allow for much public process. The Carmel Valley board was not even noticed, she said. Torrey Hills Planning Board Chair Kathryn Burton also expressed her dissatisfaction with the lack of public process and her disSee POWER, page 18

Retired Del Mar judge to be inducted into Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame BY KRISTINA HOUCK After 26 years as a trial lawyer followed by another dozen as a judge, Steven R. Denton was inducted into Consumer Attorneys of San Diego’s Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame June 24 at the San Diego Yacht Club at Shelter Island. “It’s a big thrill,� said Denton, a Del Mar resident for nearly a decade. “It’s a very prestigious award within the San Diego legal community.� Because his father worked for Pan Am, Denton was born in the Philippines and grew up mostly in Japan, and then Hawaii before it became a state. He attended high school in Germany. After high school, Denton returned to the United States and earned his bachelor’s degree in environmental biology at UC Santa Barbara. Halfway through, he decided he would go on to law school. “The mid-60s was an interesting time,� Denton recalled. “There was a lot of debate going on, on a number of different topics, including the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement. As a result, I became interested in civil justice and found my way into law school.� After studying law at the University of San Diego, Denton began a 26-year career as a trial attorney, primarily focused on construction injury litigation. “There’s nothing more thrilling than representing a deserving client and achieving a jury verdict on behalf of a deserving client,� he said. “I was fortunate enough to have that experience on a number of occasions.� In 2001, Gov. Gray Davis appointed Denton to the San Diego Superior Court. At the time of his appointment, Denton had established his own law firm, was president of the local American Board of Trial Advocates chapter and was the former president of Consumer Attorneys of San Diego, the organization that is now honoring him by inducting him into the Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame. “I’ve always been service-oriented and I wanted to continue that service as a judge,� Denton said. “I had a successful law practice that I gave up to be a judge, so it was a financial sacrifice to go on the bench and become a judge, but it was well worth it. My experience was excellent. The assignment that I had was something that I really coveted.� Denton retired from the San Diego Superior Court in

Steven Denton, Cynthia Chihak Denton, (front) Brooklyn Denton and Ryan Denton. Courtesy photo June 2013, after having served as the assistant supervisor of the civil division. He now works as a mediator, arbitrator and private judge. “Although retired as a judge, I’m working as many hours now as I did then,� said Denton, who lives with his wife Cynthia Chihak Denton, also a trial lawyer, and their two young children. He also has two grown children. “I get to work with excellent lawyers and matters of substance and try to avoid clogging the courts up with a lot of litigation. It’s very fulfilling.� The Consumer Attorneys of San Diego is an organization of trial lawyers in the county working to preserve and protect the legal rights of consumers. The organization’s Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame commemorates the career contributions of select members for their accomplishments as trial lawyers, their service to the public and their leadership of the association. A committee of past presidents selects award recipients. “The law is a career that I would recommend to anyone who wants to work hard and do good things,� Denton said. “I’ve had a great time being a lawyer, a judge and now a private judge.�

CCF awards more than $20,000 in scholarships

More than $20,000 in scholarships has recently been awarded to local North County high school graduates through the Coastal Community Foundation, an Encinitas nonprofit. The Bill Berrier education scholarship fund was created to honor Berrier, who retired after 30 years as superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District. Recipients this year are Joleen Hsu, Torrey Pines High School; Jenna Golden, Canyon Crest High School; Jennifer Cady, La Costa Canyon High School; and Emily Ross, San Dieguito Academy. The Joe W. Chavez education awards for medicine and government honor Chavez, who worked to improve the living conditions for the Eastside community of Oceanside in the late 1940s. This year’s recipients are DoWon Kim, Torrey Pines High School; Cassidy Mayeda, San Dieguito Academy; Catherine Wu and Davina Moossazadeh, both of Canyon Crest High School; Henry Gardner, Carlsbad High School; Laura Leon, Oceanside High School; and Katrina Diaz, Ocean Shores High School. Receiving the Langdon/Monzeglio award for artists are Emily Lailotis and Stephen Ai, both from Canyon Crest High School. This fund is in honor of the late Eric Scott Langdon and Diana Monzeglio. Students who plan to study nursing, psychology, or special education are eligible for the Jackie Harrigan Hasse award. Haase worked as a nurse in health services and special ed for the San Dieguito High School District. The awards go to Sarah Bhattacharjee, Torrey Pines High School, and Daniela Carreon, La Costa Canyon High School. The Steve G. Ma Scholarship award goes to a first- or second-generation graduating senior who plans to attend a California community college. Ma continued his public education career in the community college level. The recipient this year is Rigo Mejia, Torrey Pines High School. An additional education scholarship award goes to Alynee Powers, San Dieguito Academy from the Deanne Rich trustee award. Rich was a trustee for the San Dieguito Union High School District.

Local doctor focused on developing device to capture cancer stem cells BY KATHY DAY Twelve years ago, Jeff Allen’s wife Denise died from pancreatic cancer. Today, with his two sons’ help, he’s working on a device that will capture cancer stem cells — with the ultimate goal of finding the root cause of the deadly disease. With a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a Ph.D. in analytical biochemistry from Arizona State University, Allen has spent the past 20 years working with biotech companies to develop clinical and diagnostic tools to study blood and biological fluids in infectious disease. During that time, he said, he’s learned that a lot of “bright people” are working on products, but the questions of cost and who will buy them — where they fit and how they change treatment methods — often slow them down. After his wife died in 2002, he said he realized he couldn’t “cram all of medical school and an oncology residency into months and couldn’t learn enough about cancer,” so he took a new tack. Initially, he focused on learning as much as he could about pancreatic cancer and its genetic roots, which he said he believes lie in cancer stem cells. “These are very rare but unique cells that have the ability to not only replicate themselves but to differentiate (change) into the different types of cells which make up a cancer tumor,” noted Allen, a local resident. “Relatively new research suggests that a very small number of cancer stem cells may break off from the primary tumor and begin to circulate in the bloodstream, and may become lodged in a different organ than the primary tumor. Then they may begin to grow secondary tumors, thus spreading the cancer throughout the body.” He said he believes that if these particular cells can be singled out and analyzed for the break in the genetic code that could be causing a tumor to form, new therapies can be designed to target the underlying cause rather than just shrinking a tumor with chemotherapy and radiation. “It’s not where the cancer starts, it’s what the breaks are in the genome that cause it to metastasize,” he said. Two years ago, his search for an answer took another step when he formed TumorGen MDx to develop a device to isolate and capture these particular cells. His goal is to be able to sequence the genome to be able to “identify each pa-

Austin, Jeff and Alex Allen. Courtesy photo tient’s unique mutations.” During his studies, Allen found some discussion about a patient whose breast cancer had metastasized to the pancreas. The researcher, in England, noted that they used tamoxifen, an estrogen-blocking drug commonly used on breast cancer. The woman’s cancer cleared and she lived. “That wasn’t the case with my wife.” That was one influence moving him to push on and devote himself full-time to developing the company. “My interest is in fighting this disease. I will never stop,” he added. Recent research, including work being done at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Michigan, is encouraging him. The more involved he got, the more intrigued his sons, Austin and Alex, became. Austin is studying mechanical engineering at MiraCosta College and wants to transfer to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He has experience in AutoCAD design, gained while he was at La Costa Canyon High School. His interest in microfluidic systems fit right in, so he put those skills to work designing the prototype of a chip the size of a microscope

slide called the Cancer Stem Cell Capture Chip. “I’ve always been interested in science,” he said, with a wry grin, adding a few stories about teenage exploits that made his dad and brother smile. Alex, a Cal State San Marcos biology major with a concentration in molecular cell biology, works in the virology lab there. He’s working on a project determining whether genes in viruses are pathogenic or not. That fit in, too, giving his dad another scientific mind to help on his mission. “We don’t learn anything if we don’t look for it,” Alex said. Familiar with the ins and outs of the biotech industry, Allen knows that one of his first steps must be to patent their device, which he contends will provide “a faster, better and cheaper method to analyze cancer stem cells.” After that comes the feasibility phase, proving its applications. Essentially the device is a series of channels coated with antibodies that bind to specific proteins on the surface of a cancer stem cell, Allen explains in a video on the company’s website. When blood is passed over them, the antibodies snag the cancer stem cells, while remaining blood cells are directed to the waste area and washed away. The advantage to the TumorGen MDx approach is that the “chip reveals a cell that’s still alive,” as opposed to those identified by traditional methods of staining them or breaking them apart, causing vital information to be lost, Allen said. Now that they have a working prototype, the mission is to build the company slowly. Acknowledging it is still in its infancy — it truly is a garage-based company — he’s launched an initial fundraising effort via the website gofundme.com, aiming to raise $50,000 for the next steps. Allen says he’s not ready to approach angel investors or venture capitalists yet because he’s “not to a data point” that they would support. He’s asking people to contribute at least $30 – the cost of producing each device — and promises they will know where their money goes. At press time, $6,065 had been raised toward the $50,000 goal. Nearly 150 people have pitched in to date, but there’s a lot of work ahead, he said. “Research is not for the faint of heart,” he added. “There are technical risks; we are not taking the easy route.” Visit tumorgenmdx.com.

New luxury apartment complex opening in Torrey Hills BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Hills community will welcome many new neighbors this year. Ocean Air Apartment Homes, new for-lease luxury apartment townhomes on West Ocean Air Drive, will begin pre-leasing next month with the first residents moving in by October. Representatives from the developers MBK Homes gathered on the site recently for a hard hat tour of the construction rumbling on the ocean view site; the future home of 100 three-story townhomes and flats next door to the new Torrey Gardens apartment community (Torrey Gardens is set for its first occupants next month). The Ocean Air project represents MBK Homes’ first apartment community under its new division, MBK Rental Living. Tom Kane, president of MBK Homes, said they found 4.6 acres of land that they really liked and created a project to fit into the space — a “family-oriented, high-quality, forrent project with views out to the ocean, nestled into a great community close to schools and employment centers.” “This is something we’re really excited about, it’s really unique. Normally you don’t get apartments this size in this configuration,” Kane said of the large units. “This project is designed to cater to people with children — the school districts here are some of the best in San Diego.” Craig Jones, vice president of apartment acquisitions and asset management, said they expect a wide variety of people to be drawn to Ocean Air Apartment Homes, as it has high-quality amenities and is a more intimate development than other local developments. “It’s an opportunity for future renters to live in an Aplus location with coastal breezes and views where other-

Courtesy photo wise they would have to purchase to enjoy this kind of location and floorplan,” said Rick Fletcher, vice president of sales and marketing. The units will be one-, two- and three-bedroom townhomes, ranging in size from 1,067 to 1,630 square feet. Fletcher said each unit would be built with the expertise of a home-builder as if it were a for-sale product. The units will feature open-concept living areas with 9-foot ceilings, wood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, stone slab countertops in the bathroom, built-in USB charging stations and energy-efficient full-size front-loading washers and dryers. Each unit will have its own one- or two-car garage and community-wide amenities will include an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, barbecues, a pet wash station and an automated package delivery system. “We’re offering something that’s really not available in this market,” Fletcher said. MBK Homes and Garden Communities, the developer of Torrey Gardens next door, are working together on a park between their two projects that will serve not only their residents but the Torrey Hills community as a whole. The one-acre Ocean View Park is expected to open at the end of the year and tentative plans include a tot lot, walking path and exercise stations.

Water board passes $37 million budget; no rate hike for now BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District board of directors approved a $37.47 million budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 at its meeting on Thursday, June 19, a spending plan that contains no rate increase for customers in 2015, and also includes $13 million for capital improvement projects. The board, which has been discussing the proposed budget for the past several months, approved the document on a 3-2 vote, with directors Greg Gruzdowich and John Ingalls in opposition. Board members made little comment on the budget before voting, and only two people spoke during a public hearing held earlier in the meeting. Although the budget contains no rate increase, the district will soon launch a “cost of services” study to determine its revenue needs over the next five to 10 years. District officials have said there could be a proposal for a rate increase depending on the results of that study. Customer notification and a public hearing would be required before the board could increase rates. The split vote reflects a contention by Ingalls and Gruzdowich that district staff should have done more to trim expenses in light of a projected increase of $805,000 in operating costs next year. Ingalls said after the meeting that he opposed pay raises for the general manager and staff, and also expenses for outreach, a category that he said includes attendance at conferences by staff and board members, public relations and water conservation efforts. Overall, he said, he would have liked to see about $290,000 in savings by cutting adminisSee WATER, page 19

No support for bike lane extension from Torrey Hills board BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board opted not to support a proposal from the Torrey Hills Homeowners Association for a bike lane extension on West Ocean Air Drive from Via Mar De Delfinas to Via Congrejo. The stretch is the only two-block section of West Ocean Air without a bike lane and it is frequently used for overflow parking for the hotels and construction vehicles — about 35 residents signed a petition stating that the current situation is unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. The HOA representatives were also asking for permit parking. Board members said while they recognized that the street was narrow and curved, the cars are legally parked and they were unconvinced that the problem wouldn’t simply move to another neighborhood street once the bike lane was painted. Torrey Hills Planning Board Chair Kathryn Burton said they were also against permit parking as it would be unfair to the rest of the community.

Homeowners Association members ask Torrey Hills board for support in request for new city regulations for home daycares BY KAREN BILLING Some Torrey Hills Homeowners Association members came before the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board on June 17 to request their support in getting new city regulations adopted regarding home daycares. They said they are requesting the changes as there are safety concerns surrounding the close proximity of nearly 10 daycares in the Torrey Hills community, including three within a mile of each other. The board voted 6-3, with one abstention, to send a letter to San Diego Councilmember Sherri Lightner supporting the HOA’s proposal to develop the same regulations for city of San Diego home daycares as used by the city of Chula Vista. Currently in San Diego, child care licenses go through the state’s home licensing service and the city’s municipal code follows state regulations. San Diego’s regulations only address the inside of the home used for the daycare, not the outside and there are no restrictions as long as the daycare providers obey all state laws. There are also no restrictions as far as distances between the facilities.

HOA representatives said that the daycares closest together are on Corte Mar de Brisa, Corte Mar de Hierba and Via Congrejo off West Ocean Air Drive. They have concerns about the daycares having pick-up and drop-off for 10 to 14 children at each home on the single entry and exit street. San Diego County’s regulations state that daycares not be located within 500 feet of one another; Chula Vista’s regulations state that none shall be within 300 feet of each other and not within 1,200 feet on the same street. Chula Vista’s regulations also include that homeowners within 300 feet be notified at least 10 days before the permit is considered and that there are double-wide driveways available to load and unload children. Torrey Hills board member Mark Lee, who voted against sending the letter of support, said he couldn’t imagine that this is the first time this has happened in the city. He also said he had hoped to hear from more members of the community on the topic, as well as from operators and users of the facilities. “I don’t know that our body here should address this issue,” Lee said. “If it’s a state issue, let the state address it at See DAYCARES, page 19

Solana Beach’s Casa de Amistad honors dedicated tutor and board member as Volunteer of the Year BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a volunteer at Casa de Amistad, Ralph Cisneros tutors and mentors local children, helping them with their homework and encouraging them to stay in school and pursue their dreams. “You have to instill that drive in kids,� said Cisneros, who was recently honored as the organization’s Volunteer of the Year. “That’s why Casa de Amistad is so important.� Located in Solana Beach, Casa de Amistad is dedicated to fostering education and character development in local underrepresented children through an educational mentoring program for students in grades K-12. Last school year, the organization’s 125 volunteers served 165 students. More than three years ago, Cisneros was looking for a way to give back to the community when he learned about Casa de Amistad. He was immediately drawn to the organization’s mission, seeing a younger version of himself in the students. Born in Cuba, Cisneros was just 2 years old when his family fled the Communist country and came to the United States in 1969. While growing up in Los Angeles, Cisneros helped his parents clean houses. His father championed education, pushing him to go to college. “When I came here, we had nothing,� Cisneros said. “I would go with my mom and dad to work. I learned the importance of education and the value of money.� Inspired by his parents, Cisneros went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at UCLA. He began his career as an engineer for Motorola in Arizona, where he earned a master’s in engineering at Arizona State University. Cisneros relocated to San Diego in 1998. Currently, the San Marcos resident works in sales at Altera Corporation. Cisneros, who tutored students while in college, started off with two students when he first became a volunteer at Casa de Amistad. Last school year, Cisneros worked with six students in sixth through eighth grade. He volunteered as a tutor for three hours on Tuesdays and 90 minutes on Thursdays. He has worked with one of his students since she was in sixth grade. Today, she is straight-A student, who is starting high school in the fall. “Kids are impressionable, so we try to steer them the right way,� Cisneros said. “It’s rewarding to work with the students and see their successes.� To further support the organization, Cisneros joined the board more than a year ago. Since joining the board, he has been focused on obtaining sponsorships from corporations to further Casa de Amistad’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs. In recognition of his dedication, Casa de Amistad honored Cisneros as Volunteer of the Year during the end-of-

Local mom shares personal journey with autism in new book BY KRISTINA HOUCK When he was nearly 3 years old, Andrew wasn’t talking like other toddlers his age. Cristina Liberati-Basser was concerned, but doctors repeatedly told her he was “fine” and just a “late bloomer.” Until, one day, he was diagnosed with autism. “I felt like I failed him,” said Liberati-Basser, who, at the time, was a mother to three children under 3 years old. “I hadn’t seen the signs.” The local author shares her personal journey of raising a son with autism in the recently released “Answers From Andrew.” From Andrew’s diagnosis to how he’s doing today, the personal narrative gives an intimate insight into one mother’s experience. “It’s kind of like you found my diary from the time I had him to where we are now,” she said. Born and raised in Seattle, Liberati-Basser earned a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. She began her career at KPHO, the local CBS affiliate in Phoenix. Liberati-Basser relocated to San Diego eight years ago to enroll Andrew in San Marcos Unified School District’s Early Childhood Intervention program. Now 10 years old, Andrew just completed fifth grade at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School. Liberati-Basser noted her son was part of a mainstream classroom with an aide. “He’s a really bright and interesting kid,” she said. “He really has a lot to offer. He is kind and loving. He’s got a heart of gold. He would give you the shirt off his back or his last cookie. “I’m really, really proud of all his hard work. He’s really invested in his own outcome. That makes me really proud as a mom.” “Answers From Andrew” is Liberati-Basser’s first book, with most of the content from her personal journals. She

Andrew and Cristina Liberati-Basser Courtesy photo decided to share her journal entries with the world so others can better understand autism. “For people who know somebody with autism, but aren’t raising somebody with autism, I hope they have a better understanding of the challenges families and caregivers face,” Liberati-Basser said. “For the moms, dads and people who love somebody with autism, I hope they know that they’re not alone. Somebody else is really walking the journey with them,”

she added. “It may be different because every kid is different, but there is somebody out there who understands what they’re going through. … There’s hope. We all love our kids and we all want what’s best for them.” Published in April by BookBaby, “Answers From Andrew” is available online on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

TPHS coach seeks hosts for Japanese football players Former Torrey Pines football coach Ed Burke is searching for families interested in hosting a Japanese high school football player for 17 days in late August. The students represent Ritsumeikan Uji High School in Kyoto, Japan. They will arrive Aug. 16 and depart Sept. 2. This will be the eighth year that Coach Burke and Torrey Pines has played host to the Panther players, but unfortunately it will also be the last year. The school is changing its travel program, and the students will not be returning in 2015. So if you were considering hosting a Japanese player, this is the year to do it. The 2014 team is composed of 21 boys and one girl trainer. The team will be attending school and practicing at Torrey Pines during the stay, so most of the transportation needs will be similar to those of any student attending the high school. Hosts are asked to provide lodging, meals, and transportation to and from school during the students’ stay. A daily stipend of $15 to help offset hosts’ food and gas expenses will be provided. Each year has been a memorable experience for the families involved, and lifelong relationships are usually formed. It is a unique and rewarding experience that will not be available again. If interested, please contact Ed Burke by phone at 760-331-7412 or through email at edandloretta@sbcglobal.net.

Falcons runner ‘flips hourglass’ to create stellar career BY GIDEON RUBIN When Tal Braude first surfaced at Torrey Pines as a freshman, it was assumed he’d be following in the footsteps of his two older brothers, both excellent soccer players for whom competing in track was a secondary activity. “So here’s the third brother, it’ll be the same old story,” figured Torrey Pines track and field/cross country coach Brent Thorne. “It’ll be soccer-soccer-soccer, and he’ll fit running in where he can.” To say Braude exceeded the expectations on the track and cross country circuits would be an understatement. Early in his prep career, he decided to forgo soccer to focus on distance running. That decision paid big dividends. Braude, who earlier this month concluded a distinguished prep career at Torrey Pines, will compete in track and cross country at Division I Columbia in the Ivy League later this year. His Falcons career was highlighted by him becoming the school’s first state cross country champion — in either the boys or girls circuits. “He totally flipped the hourglass upside down,” Thorne said. “Totally.” Braude went out for cross country at the prodding of former Falcons distance running sensation Ally Billmeyer, whom he met at a junior lifeguard camp the summer before his freshman year. “When I went into the first race, I was like, ‘Coach, how do you think I’m going to do in this race?’” Braude said. “They were just like, ‘Go out and have fun and just do the best you can, and we’ll see from here.’”

B e y o n d

In that race at the Bronco Invitational, his coaches saw the first chapter of one of the most distinguished distance running careers in school history. Braude shocked a rising star from rival La Costa Canyon, Steven Fahy, who happened to be the younger brother of former Torrey Pines standout Matt Carpowich’s nemesis, Darren Fahy. “I didn’t really know what I was getting into in that first race,” Braude said. “It developed into its own rivalry between us.” That rivalry helped push Braude to become one of just a handful of San Diego Section runners to ever win a state title in cross country. He jokingly credits his siblings for his development as a runner. “My family says it’s ... because they used to chase me around with a cricket bat when I was younger,” said Braude, who was raised in South Africa, where cricket enjoys great popularity. He decided to give up soccer early in his freshman year, when it became apparent the demands of competing on the cross country and track and field teams would be too much to accommodate a third sport. It wasn’t an easy decision, though. Braude had looked forward to following in the footsteps of brothers Liran, who graduated in 2007, and Liad (2009), both of whom played on Falcons teams that won Palomar League and San Diego Sections championships. “I felt it was time for a change and time to focus on something I was good at,” Braude said. “I saw what I wanted to become

Tal Braude will compete for Columbia after a distinguished prep career at Torrey Pines High School. when I started. I guess that just kind of pushed me to do the best that I can.” Braude’s decision had his soccer family’s blessings. “My family is really good about not putting on pressure on you,” he said. “As long as you’re happy, they’re fine with it, because that’s what counts.”

But Braude has put pressure on himself. He said his family instilled a whatever-ittakes mentality in him at a young age. His father, a karate instructor, taught Braude and his brothers martial arts. Braude credits Billmeyer and Karpowich for being role models who helped him keep his focus when he was just starting his distance running career. “I’ve had great teammates and coaches who’ve been pushing me and sticking by me,” he said. In a sport that inherently emphasizes individual accomplishments, Braude has embraced the team concept. He cites mentoring younger teammates among his most important contributions to the program, and helping lead the cross country team last year to its first San Diego Section title in recent memory ranks right up there with his individual state title among his most important accomplishments. “It was a big deal, because we hadn’t gotten first in a really long time,” he said. “I was so pumped, and my coaches were so pumped.” Thorne said Braude contributed to the development of up-and-comers Spencer Dodds (who has since moved to Temecula) and Ian Hutchinson, among others. He believes Braude’s blueprint offers lessons for other athletes. “He’s one of those stories that you love to tell as a coach,” he said. “He had big goals and big dreams. He had some talent, but we didn’t know how much, and I think he maximized his talent and his potential by hard work and dedication.”

Carmel Valley teen wins grant from Social Entrepreneurship Youth Training Program BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley teenager Tali Edid recently won a $1,000 grant from the Social Entrepreneurship Youth Training Program for Latino and Jewish students with the aim of putting a project she created to tackle hunger in San Diego into action. Tali and her teammates Vanessa Ramirez and Noah Villalobos were selected to receive the honor for their project “Growing Happiness,” which was designed to develop a community garden to promote sustainability, healthy eating habits and longterm growth for underprivileged youth and families. The Social Entrepreneurship Youth Training Program is organized by Rady Management Center at UC San Diego in partnership with the Consulate General of Israel, the San Diego County Office of Education and the Anti-Defamation League. The program seeks to empower youth and equip them with necessary tools to “turn entrepreneurial visions into realistic social innovations.” Tali, a 16-year-old incoming junior at San Diego Jewish Academy, participated in the five-week program at Rady along with 16 other students from around San Diego. She learned how to develop a business plan, conduct research and pitch an idea — many of the same kind of courses offered at the Rady business school but packed into five Sundays. The students were tasked to research a problem they see in the community and propose a solution — Tali’s group selected hunger as their social problem and were able to work on their project with help from mentor Seyi Oshinowo, a Rady MBA stu-

dent. They came up with the idea of a community garden. “It would be a sustainable way to get food and a way to give back to the community,” Tali said. “Within the weeks the produce was growing, we could offer cooking and nutrition classes. The garden would also be a way for parents to spend time with their children, a good family bonding time where they’re not stressed about how they’re going to get food.” All of the program groups had to present their project proposals in front of a panel on June 1 at UC San Diego to decide who would receive the award. “I was comfortable speaking in front of the group because I had taken a public speaking class but it was very nerve-wracking,” Tali said. “I didn’t think we would win it, it was unexpected and I was really excited.” The group members are now expected to work on their project over the next six months to make their solution a reality. They are looking into possible gardens in the National City or Logan Heights neighborhoods. Tali, who will be the representative for the junior class on student council at SDJA next year, also plays tennis, soccer and the guitar. Community service is a big passion for her —she is on the leadership board of JTeen of San Diego, a Jewish youth group that recently personally distributed 200 Jack in the Box meals to homeless people on the streets, as well as clothing, shoes and blankets.

Carmel Valley’s Kilroy Realty donates $10,000 to San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Kilroy Realty made a $10,000 donation to the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation during the May wildfires. As the largest suburban commercial real estate owner in the county, Kilroy wanted to show its commitment to keeping the neighborhoods safe by helping firefighters do their job, according to Brian Brady, Kilroy development manager and member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. Brady was credited as being instrumental in the decision to make the donation to the firefighters. Brady and other Kilroy staff members were invited for a tour of Station 24 on Del Mar Heights Road to get a peek at where their money will be put into work. The firefighters on duty were not able to visit for long — they almost instantly had to respond to an accident call. Wendy Robinson, executive director of the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation, said the mission of the foundation is to provide funding for enhanced equipment, training and technology that would not otherwise be met through the city’s budget. It is still being determined what items from the fire department’s unmet needs list will be purchased with funds received during the wildfires, but some items on the list include pediatric rescue carriers; iPad tablets for battalion chiefs; portable breathing air carts for HAZMAT units; helicopter rescue equipment; and rescue safety equipment. The carriers are especially needed for incidents such as fires, cliff rescues and other accidents to safely carry infants away from harm. The need for iPad tablets was a direct result of after-action reviews from the May wildfires, according to San Diego Fire Rescue Department Assistant Fire Chief Brian Fennessy. Chiefs can carry iPads programmed with mapping technology as a good way to identify land ownership and

Fennessy said that since the fires they have been focusing on making any possible related improvements before the Santa Ana winds return — they typically blow in the fall and May’s winds were unusual. “I’ve never seen it this dry, ever,” said Fennessy, noting that it might be a tough fire season ahead with dry winds paired with the lack of moisture in the fuel load. Fennessy and Gerboth thanked Kilroy for its donation and led the group on a tour of the station. Robinson said that Kilroy’s contribution was one of the larger donations they received during the fires.

Education Matters/Opinion

High school student parking fees under scrutiny BY MARSHA SUTTON

At $40 annually per vehicle, the San Dieguito Union High School District collected over $77,000 in fees this year from students for Marsha Sutton campus parking permits. With an overall budget this year of about $107 million, $77,000 may seem insignificant. But there’s a principle at stake here, says Sally Smith, a San Diego attorney and relentless crusader for equal access in public education. Smith has taken on dozens of school districts throughout California for what she claims are illegal fees that exclude or discriminate against low-income students. A Uniform Complaint filed by Smith against SDUHSD on May 2 itemized five areas of questionable practices, one of which was student parking fees. “It is strictly a fee to generate revenue directly from the students which is illegal,” her complaint reads. “[S]tudents are used to generate tens of thousands of dollars and only they bear the burden, not the adults. No district should impose a fee which makes it more difficult for students to get to school, particularly indigent students.” In her complaint, Smith argued that parking on campus is related to an educational activity, and schools cannot charge fees for educational activities. Supporting this claim, Smith said that “students may have their parking pass revoked for behavior issues … so it is used as student discipline.” She also noted that staff is not charged for parking on campus, only students. “The parking fees have been imposed unilaterally on only the students,” she said. “School districts that charge fees such as colleges require visitors, staff, and students to pay parking fees. UCSD is an example. The law is fairly applied to all citizens and does not single out minors to bear the burden of the cost for parking.” Students, she wrote, are required to use their vehicles for school events, and students who can afford the fee “have an advantage over students who cannot pay parking fees because they have access to their vehicles for extracurricular activities.” In addition, she said the district “recognizes that there are indigent students by requiring students to identify as charity cases to get the [parking] fee waiver, thus causing humiliation and shame to a child …” Finally, Smith said there must be a specific law that allows school districts to charge particular fees, and there is no such California law identifying parking on school property as a legitimate fee. She also claimed that the governing board of a school district must approve such fees, and San Dieguito’s board has never taken this action. To support her arguments, Smith cited guidelines from the Tulare high school district which state that lawful fees must be specified in the California Education Code and must be authorized in advance by the school district’s board of trustees. “The law requires any public agency, including school districts, to hold a public hearing, at which oral or written presentations can be made, as part of a regularly scheduled public meeting, before adopting any new fee or approving an increase in an existing fee,” guidelines state. Smith cited a legal interpretation on the issue, which reads in part: “Title 5 says that

any fees charged to students must be specifically authorized by law. … “Although Vehicle Code 21113 has been interpreted as to allow such fees, some attorneys have suggested that without specific authorization in the Education Code, the fees may not be charged since the Vehicle Code only speaks in terms of parking regulations. “Therefore, districts should consult legal counsel prior to the levying of such fees.” That is exactly what San Dieguito did. After consulting with legal counsel, Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, wrote in his May 30 response to Smith’s Uniform Complaint that, under the law, “schools may charge fees for items not related to ‘educational activities.’ Vehicle Code 21113 has been interpreted to include allowing schools to charge for parking.” Case law analyzing the Vehicle Code section “allows for the governing bodies of public entities to impose regulations on cars parked on their property,” he wrote. Despite the apparent requirement that governing boards must establish fees, Dill said Smith’s claim that the fees must be set by the governing board is inaccurate. “The Vehicle Code section specifically allows the condition or regulation to be set by the governing board or officer of the public school,” his response reads. “As such, the principal or other school officer could set the parking permit fees without violating the California Constitution’s guarantee to a free public education.” Dill said the practices detailed in the complaint do not violate the “free school” guarantee. “The district and its constituent schools may charge fees for parking,” he concluded. The schools, he said, are complying with the law. Free parking Information provided by Dill showed that student parking fees collected during the 2013-2014 school year were, by school: $18,862 from Canyon Crest Academy, $25,422 from Torrey Pines High School, $11,736 from San Dieguito Academy, and $21,280 from La Costa Canyon High School. This totaled $77,301, about the same as last year, Dill said. All the money goes into the district’s general fund and does not stay with the schools, he said. In an interview, Dill said the district received a comprehensive review in 2004 from legal counsel that examined everything schools were charging fees for, and “we had the opinion that we were okay on parking.” On the question of whether fees can be charged if not specifically authorized by the Education Code, Dill said, “Our position is that driving to school is not a requirement. Nobody gets a grade for driving to school.” He said students can get to school any number of ways. “Any student can walk, ride, skateboard, carpool, get dropped off by parents, take the bus, take public transportation,” he said. Staff could also get to school any number of ways, but they don’t get charged a fee to park on campus, which is precisely Smith’s point. Whether staff should pay for parking if students have to, Dill said, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen that particular argument, that you can’t charge a fee unless you charge adults as well, so that’s a new one.” Dill said one reason the schools charge students to park on campus is to control traffic in the student parking lot, because

there can be more students wanting to drive to school than available spaces. That is not an issue in the staff parking lot, he said. “That’s one way to control the traffic in the parking lot,” Dill said. A simple solution to that would be to issue permits at no charge until the number of spaces available have been allotted. So it’s hard to understand how charging for parking reduces demand, unless it’s to weed out those who can’t afford the permit fee. No legal authority Smith said Dill cited a court case that applies only to private universities. “Colleges charge for tuition, books, parking, etc., but the Constitution does not provide for a free college education,” she said, whereas it does for K-12 public schools. “Calif. Code of Regulations § 350 states that any lawful fee must be specifically authorized by the state legislature,” she said, claiming there is no legal authority for San Dieguito to collect these fees which are therefore illegal. “Parking fees are particularly egregious because the school district does not require staff nor visitors to pay parking fees, just the teenagers,” Smith wrote in an email. High school students, she said, “are singled out for the fees to generate revenue while employees pay nothing. I believe parking fees must be returned to students.” Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD superintendent, said the district is diligent about making sure that no illegal fees are charged to students and that low-income students have equal access to all educational experiences. “Kids never have to self-identify, and no questions are ever asked,” he said. Several years ago, the American Civil Liberties Union requested extensive information from California school districts on the subject of student fees and reviewed the material from SDUHSD in depth. “The ACLU agreed we do all we can,” Schmitt said. “We’ve really gone out of our way.” But Smith doesn’t mince words. She noted how many tens of thousands of dollars parents in the San Dieguito district donate to their schools, and said charging students additional fees is not just illegal but unreasonably excessive. “Educators have lost their way,” she said. Whatever one may think of Smith, no one can argue that she is not driven with a purpose and armed with steely determination to represent the under-represented. Sally Smith keeps us honest, is a mirror to our conscience, and reminds us all that not everyone is privileged to have the economic advantages in life that some school districts take for granted.

Polo Field. “I always loved representing the club at what felt like a huge tournament,” Soares said. He went on to play at UC Berkeley, where he was named the 2010 first team All American and 2010 Pac-10 Player of the Year. In his four years at Cal he missed only two games and helped his team advance to three NCAA Tournaments, including the national quarterfinals in 2010. New England picked Soares as the sixth overall pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Soares said the team has given him an amazing opportunity. “My most memorable moment in soccer so far was my debut in 2011,” Soares said. “It was my first professional game and I played in Los Angeles against the Galaxy, in front of all my friends and family and against one of my idols, David Beckham.” He is used to playing against famous soccer players and doesn’t get starstruck, but he does enjoy the chance to play against some of the best in the world, such as Thierry Henry, Alessandro Nesta, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and all of Manchester United and Inter Milan. The 6-foot Soares is described as a skilled defender and very physical leader on the field. “My best strength as a defender is my brain. I always think my way through games and try to plan well and be one step ahead of my opponents,” said Soares. “I also love the camaraderie of soccer, so I

He is also a volunteer assistant soccer coach for the Harvard University men’s soccer team. Harvard’s head coach, Pieter Lehrer, was the assistant coach at Cal when he played there. “We are very close friends, and I enjoy working with such great students who are also great players,” Soares said. The MLS season is essentially a full-year gig with only December off. At the midway point, the Revolution team is in a good spot in second place in the eastern conference at 7-5-2 behind DC United. “We want to make the playoffs. We just have to stay on top of the table and keep winning games,” Soares said. Last week, Soares was spending some time away from Boston in San Diego and taking the opportunity to watch a lot of World Cup soccer. “To me, it’s the best sporting event ever to watch,” he said. While Soares has done some analyst work with Comcast New England’s World Cup coverage, he does not believe broadcasting is in his future — he has his sights set on making a World Cup team himself four years from now.

Janie Hoover, a representative of Councilmember Lightner’s office, said the councilmember was aware of the HOA’s concerns and was waiting to gauge how the planning board felt about the issue. Torrey Hills Planning Board Chair Kathryn Burton said that the 6-31 vote, not a unanimous decision, will be taken into account as the issue moves forward.

trative costs and sharing labor expenses with neighboring water districts. Gruzdowich reiterated his concern that the board had failed to stick to its resolve to put half of the money generated by a 6 percent rate hike imposed last year into its capital project fund. At a budget discussion in April, Gruzdowich had challenged general manager Michael Bardin and his staff to “sharpen their pencils” and look for additional cuts. “He came back and really didn’t sharpen it very much,” Gruzdowich said after the June 19 meeting. Bardin discussed the decision to forego this year’s contribution to the capital reserve fund in a message contained in the budget document. “Without a rate increase operating revenues will not generate enough in operating gains to contribute an additional $1.0 million as intended by the board. This amount was meant to reimburse the Capital Reserve Fund for the pre-payment of the CalPERS Side Fund at $400,000 per year, and another $600,000 represented a portion of the January 2013 rate increase,” Bardin wrote. During the board’s budget deliberations, Bardin noted that the district did make an additional contribution to the capital fund last year, and that expenses have been cut deeply in recent years.

announce Del Mar as a firsttime host site for the 2017 Breeders’ Cup World Championships,” said Craig Fravel, president and CEO of Breeders’ Cup Ltd. “Over the years, Del Mar has established an extraordinary reputation for outstanding racing, entertainment and firstclass hospitality. We are excited by the energy and support of the local San Diego community and their efforts to make the 2017 World Championships one of most successful in our history.” Del Mar was in the running to host the 2016 races, but concerns arose over holding the event at new venues two years in a row, as reported previously in this newspaper. The Del Mar racetrack has installed a new turf course and will replace its synthetic Polytrack with a dirt surface over the next year, as reported previously in this newspaper.

The largest share of the increased operating costs for the fiscal year 2014-15 is due to imported water costs, according to a presentation by administrative services manager Jeanne Deaver. That is the money the district spends to buy water from outside suppliers. Those costs are projected to rise 4 percent in January, or $340,000, according to Deaver’s report. A dry winter means that the district will need to buy about 70 percent of the water it supplies to its 22,000 customers in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. The other 30 percent will come from local water supplies in Lake Hodges and the district’s reservoir. Deaver said the district pays $829 per acre foot for imported water, which will go up to $865 in January, compared to $50 per acre foot for local water. In wetter years, the district obtains close to half of its water from local sources. An acrefoot contains 325,000 gallons, roughly the amount used by an average family in a year. At the June 19 meeting, Gruzdowich suggested that future budget hearings should be held in the evening so that district residents would not have to miss work to attend. “I’d like to see more people maybe pressure us to make more frugal decisions,” he said. Board president Michael Hogan agreed with the suggestion, and asked that the topic be placed on a future board agenda.

SCHOOL continued from page 1 fall turned out to voice their objections at a school board meeting. A community meeting with parents and district officials was held on Monday, June 16, to discuss the issue, and the topic was also placed on the agenda for Thursday’s school board meeting. Two of the district’s high schools, La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines, are called boundary schools, meaning that geographic boundaries determine which students go to each of the schools. The other two schools, San Dieguito and Canyon Crest academies, are called choice schools, because students can apply to attend them no matter where they live in the district. However, because more students applied to San Dieguito and Canyon Crest than could be accommodated for this fall, a lottery was held to admit applicants. Sixty-five students were put on the wait-list for San Dieguito, and 100 for Canyon Crest, according to discussion at Thursday’s board meeting. Officials said they didn’t expect seats to open for those on the wait-list. Some parents who attended Thursday’s board meeting live within a few houses of San Dieguito, but said they will be forced to pay to bus their children to La Costa Canyon, about six miles away. “Flat out, the district has failed these people,” said James Bush, whose child is one of the 65 on the San Dieguito wait-list. Jennifer Lessley, who said she lives seven doors from San Dieguito Academy, described how her daughter was devastated by the email informing her of being waitlisted, because most of her friends from middle school will be attending the academy. She e will have to walk to the bus stop at San Dieguito Academy and catch the bus to La Costa Canyon. “I’m asking you, the board, right now, please help us,” Lessley said. Her daughter, Taylor, a ninth-grader, then tearfully addressed the board. “When I start school in August, I will be alone,” the girl said, voice quavering. “I know I will be miserable and not reach my full potential as a person and as a student.” Chris Schwartz, another district parent, said school officials were missing the

point. Rather than establishing a task force, he said, they simply need to increase capacity at San Dieguito. “In effect, what we need are two more classrooms at San Dieguito Academy,” Schwartz said. At least one board member, John Salazar, agreed. After public testimony, he said it was “ridiculous” that students should have to win a lottery to attend their neighborhood school. “These are taxpayers. They deserve a neighborhood school. We can fix this instantly,” said Salazar, triggering applause from the audience. However, Schmitt and other board members said the issue is not so simple, because the entire school district population, composed of more than 12,000 families, must be informed and have a chance to voice its opinion before significant changes are made to enrollment policies. “I wish we could fix it tonight, but we need the input of the whole community,” said board vice president Amy Herman. The task force, to be convened by this fall and including parents, students, teachers, administrators and school board members, will examine broad issues such as whether the district should continue to have a mix of boundary and choice schools, or move to a boundary-only system. In the meantime, officials said, they will look for ways to expand capacity at the two academies with an eye toward accommodating more students this fall. One suggestion was to add programs to La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines to draw more students to those campuses. La Costa Canyon was built to hold 2,700 students but now has 1,950. “Whatever you can do to recruit more students to La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines would be terrific,” said parent Julie Union. After the meeting, Lessley said she and other parents felt rushed at the June 5 board meeting, and that officials weren’t really listening. That attitude had changed by Thursday’s board meeting, she said. “Tonight I felt they understood there are a lot of parents with a lot of concerns,” she said. “It sounds like they’re going to work on it and take our concerns to heart.”

DM youth wins Pitch, Hit & Run competition Congratulations to Matty Allen for winning the 2014 San Diego Padres Pitch, Hit & Run Team Championship at Petco Park, where the Championship competition was held June 7. Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit & Run is an exciting skills event for boys and girls where participants have the opportunity to compete in four levels of competition, including Team Championship events at all 30 Major League ballparks and the National Finals at the MLB All-Star Game. “It’s awesome, yet nerve-racking.” That’s the way Matty described competing in the national finals of the Pitch, Hit & Run Competition. Established in 1997, the competition hosts more than 4,000 local competitions each year. From there, participants are filtered through regional and sectional rounds. The top three from each age division advance to the team competition held in each Major League city between May 31 and June 29. That’s what brought Matty, a resident of Del Mar, to Petco Park for a second straight year, along with 23 other participants. He was one of three finalists in the 9-10-year-old boys division. The top three winners nationally from each age group among all 30 teams will have the opportunity to compete in the national competition during All-Star Week on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis.

Matty Allen won the Pitch, Hit & Run Team Championship Competition. So what advice would a seasoned veteran like Matty give to his fellow competitors? It was rather simple, and a timeless formula for success. “Practice. Practice a lot,” he said. “It definitely helps.” Good luck to Matty Allen!

SD Rowing Club women take home bronze Varsity women with the San Diego Rowing Club have brought home a bronze medal from the U.S. Rowing’s Youth National Championships in Sacramento. The event was held over three days earlier in June at Lake Natoma where top highschool-age rowers from across the nation raced on a 2,000-meter (1.25 mile) course to cap off the 20132014 season. The club’s time of 7:26.852 made them the country’s third-fastest Women’s Youth boat in the “4x” (4 rowers, 8 oars) division. Junior rowers Marissa Gibson, Jillian Renly, Sarah Hoskin and Mariko Kelly earned their medals after competing against 19 teams in multiple heats. The club’s junior women advanced to U.S. Nationals after racing to a gold medal in the same event at the Southwest Junior District Championships in May, beating a field of 30 women’s teams in multiple heats. “It was a tough weekend of racing,” said bow seat rower Mariko Kelly. “Going into nationals, we were seeded

We did it for our coaches and for our dads. It was a fantastic Father’s Day gift.” San Diego Rowing Club Coach Benton Sparks led the varsity women to bronze at U.S. Nationals. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Susan Francia coached the women through their winning season, including last month’s gold at Southwest Regional Championships. U.S. Nationals was the final competition as club rowers for two varsity women: Gibson, a graduate of La Jolla High School, will attend the University of Wisconsin on a rowing scholarship this fall, while Hoskin, a graduate of the Academy of Our Lady of Peace in San Diego, heads to Fordham University on a rowing scholarship. Two rowers will return in the fall: Kelly, of Del Mar, who will be a senior at La Jolla Country Day School, and Renly, who will begin her junior year at University City High School.

3 North Shore softball teams qualify for state championship 12U, 10U and 8U finish among best in the district North Shore Softball All-Star teams achieved unprecedented success this past weekend at the ASA District Tournament. Players in three separate age categories finished among the top teams in the North San Diego County District, each earning a spot at the State Tournament in Lancaster on July 4-6. This is the first time in the league’s 26-year history that all of North Shore’s All-Star teams have qualified for States in the same year. Coaches, parents and players expressed their excite-

ment with so many going to the tournament for the first time. League President Randy Rechs said the honor of playing at States is well deserved. “It’s a testament to all the hard work and effort from the girls, coaches and parents,� he said. “I couldn’t be more proud of our teams.� The 12U Gold team battled their way into the final game but lost in the Championship to Escondido, 9-2. The team has proven its ability to win throughout the All-Star season with a record of 20-8, winning one tournament and finishing as a finalist in another. 10U Gold finished third in the North San Diego County District, losing a tough nine-inning international tie-breaker to PQ. The team enters the State Tournament with a record

of 21-8, scoring 142 runs and winning two tournament championships. All three of the team’s pitchers have thrown no-hitters. 8U Gold clinched a third-place finish in the District. They began the tournament with two straight wins, in one of their strongest performances of the season. Their only losses were to the Carlsbad, who finished second, and PQ, the tournament winners. Coaches say the team is playing their best softball yet. The teams will now set their focus on preparing for the State Tournament, competing in Lancaster’s blistering heat. Their goals are clear. “We need to keep playing well and having fun,� said Rechs. “If we play up to our capabilities, we have a chance to make it to Nationals.�

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito celebrates opening of kitchen at Encinitas branch BY KRISTINA HOUCK For more than five years, children have learned how to lead healthier lives at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach. Opened in April 2009, the yellow cottage features a teaching kitchen, classroom space and a garden, offering children’s afterschool programming and summer camps, as well as adult classes. Because of the center’s success, the nonprofit is constructing a second center at the Griset Branch in Encinitas. The public was invited to tour the branch’s new kitchen during an open house June 20. Completed June 18, the teaching kitchen features a refrigerator, oven, stovetop and hood, sink, cabinets and shelves, as well as classroom space. “I have kids of my own, so it’s very important to me that we educate our children about making healthier choices,” said Chef Matthew Purnell, who serves nutritious dishes and teaches healthy cooking classes at the Solana Beach center. He was at the Encinitas branch to see the new kitchen, and he was thrilled with the results. “What I do and what the center does goes hand in hand. They’re all about teaching children, adults and the community about making healthier choices.” To expand its programs, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito opened a garden at its Del Mar Branch in May 2011, and another garden at its La Colonia Branch in November 2012. Mirrored after the first center at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, the second center at 1221 Encinitas Blvd. will feature a half-acre interactive organic garden, in addition to the commercialstyle kitchen classroom. Located behind the gym at the center, the garden will feature trees, plants, an orchard, an herb garden, a

It will be completed during the summer. At the open house, Point Loma artist Ryan Preece, known as “Zoke,” finished painting a roughly 60-by-22-foot mural of a farm, complete with animals and crops, on the back of the gym. Donors will be recognized along the wall on the side of the gym. “It’s therapeutic and very rewarding for the kids,” said Constanze Christopher, garden coordinator at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle. A professional gardener since 1998, Christopher earned a landscape design certificate from Cuyamaca College. As garden coordinator, Christopher works with children at the Solana Beach center. Now, she will also work with kids at the Encinitas center, leading a new camp in July, which is still open for registration. Initially, the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle opened registration for eight summer camps. All the camps sold out in May, with almost 150 children enrolled. Because the sessions sold out so quickly and the garden has progressed, staff recently added another summer cooking camp. Inspired by Chef Alice Waters, a pioneer of farm-to-table cuisine, the camp will run July 21-25 at the Griset Branch. Campers ages 8-14 will learn about compost, propagate plants from seeds, and build worm bins. They will also develop culinary skills, learning to make pasta, pesto and more. “With the children being in the garden — planting and See KITCHEN, page B23

Carmel Valley parents chair Rady Children’s Hospital gala after daughter’s successful spinal fusion surgery BY KRISTINA HOUCK Richard Gelbart’s daughter was still in a hospital bed, recovering from spinal fusion surgery when he called Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation to learn how he could help the organization. Inspired by the success of her operation and the staff’s attentive care, the Carmel Valley father wanted to give back. “Sitting in the hospital, you get the sense of how Rady Children’s Hospital embraces not only the patient, but the family — preop and post-operatively,” said Gelbart, whose 15-yearold daughter Marisa underwent spinal fusion surgery Feb. 24. “I thought it was brilliant and really caring and very conscious of an institution to get down to that grassroots, family-level. It touched me. I felt fortunate in our unfortunate situation.” Gelbart and his wife, Kris, became co-chairs of the 2014 Miracle Makers Gala, the hospital’s largest fundraiser. They shared their story in front of the gala’s 1,100 attendees May 31 at the San Diego Marriott Marquis and Marina. “I loved it,” he said. “It felt so right.” Marisa was diagnosed with scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, when she was just 9 years old. Because it was only a slight curve, it was treated with physical therapy. She also wore a body brace for about three years. While vacationing in Palm Desert during spring break last year, Gelbart noticed his daughter’s scoliosis had rapidly progressed. “It frightened me because it was so contorted,” he said. “I remember getting really emotional and getting tears in my eyes.” After talking with his wife, the couple decided to

Eric, Marisa and Kris Gelbart. Courtesy photo take their daughter to Rady Children’s Hospital for an exam. In January, the Gelbart family met with Dr. Peter Newton, an orthopedic surgeon at Rady Children’s Hospital. Marisa’s spine was now curved at an 88-degree angle and it had rotated. She needed surgery. Initially, Marisa’s surgery was planned for the beginning of summer, but further testing two weeks later revealed the curve of her spine had increased to 107 degrees. “The doctor had great concern on his face,” Gelbart said. “He was holding a poker face, but I could see it.” Marisa underwent spinal fusion surgery Feb. 24. After spending one night in the intensive care unit and the next four in the hospital, she got to go home with her parents and her older brother Eric. “It was amazing,” Gelbart said. “Everybody was just amazed.” Marisa went into surgery at 5-foot-2. Now standing at 5-foot-5, she just completed her freshman year at Canyon Crest Academy. “My daughter is doing so well,” Gelbart said. “She’s happy, she’s healthy.” To learn more about Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation or to donate, visit www.helpsdkids.org.

Star-studded tennis match to benefit Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America’s San Diego Chapter

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK More than one million Americans suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, two painful conditions that cause chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. To raise awareness about these conditions and funds for research, the Mylan World TeamTennis has named the local chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America as a beneficiary of the San Diego Aviators’ opening match against the Austin Aces July 7 at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. Led by Slovak tennis player Daniela Hantuchová, the San Diego Aviators will compete against the Austin Aces, featuring retired American professional tennis player Andy Roddick. The event kicks off the coed professional tennis team’s 2014 schedule. “Raising awareness for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis — that otherwise stay in the closet — is imperative if we are going to raise the money and the interest necessary to reach a cure,” said Susan von Posern, who serves as committee chair for “Rally for Cures,” a reception that will take place just before the match in the VIP Players Lounge. A Solana Beach resident since 1997, von Posern also serves as a board member and general counsel of the local chapter. “You may not think that you know somebody who’s impacted by these diseases, but you probably do.” An estimated 1.4 million Americans suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, conditions that can cause diarrhea, bleeding, cramps and fatigue. Approximately 16,000 people suffer from one of the two conditions in San Diego County, said Carly Bazzett, the San Diego chapter’s executive director, who is also a Solana Beach resident. Many patients must take drugs with serious side effects or undergo surgery. No cure exists for either condition, both of which fall under the umbrella of inflammatory bowel diseases. “A misconception is that it’s a bathroom disease, when really, it’s a debilitating physical condition,” Bazzett said. “It may require multiple hospitalizations and surgeries, and it can lead to other complications.” The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation is a nationwide or-

The “Rally for Cures” reception begins at 5:30 p.m. July 7 in the VIP Players Lounge at Valley View Casino Center, located at 3500 Sports Arena Blvd. in San Diego. Doors open at 5 p.m. The match begins at 7 p.m. and doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $25-$200. “It’s a fun, unique way to raise money, bring friends together and have a fun evening,” Bazzett said.

Launched in 1980, the local chapter holds a number of fundraising events each year, and also helps patients and their families through educational forums, support groups and other services. Last year, the chapter raised about $900,000 for the cause. This year, the chapter is on pace to raise more than $1 million, Bazzett said. “The money you donate stays here,” said Bazzett, whose grandmother was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

Local’s company restores Don Diego statue at Del Mar Fairgrounds BY KRISTINA HOUCK The San Diego County Fair attracts more than 1.4 million fairgoers each year. With this year’s “Fab Fair” well underway, returnees have most likely noticed the fair’s mascot has received a much-needed makeover. The 16-foot bronze Don Diego statue, which stands at the fair’s main entrance, was restored prior to the start of the fair. Carlsbad-based Restoration ArTechs was hired to do the job. “I’ve seen Don Diego degrade and not be appreciated,” said Restoration ArTechs owner Barry Feinman, who has lived in Del Mar for more than a year. “Being that I live in Del Mar, they felt I had a vested interest in wanting to take care of him and that we would be the right company.” With the fair season kicking off June 7, Feinman and his team began the three-day restoration process May 25. First, Feinman and his employees cleaned the statue. Then, they removed the patina, a thin and usually green layer that forms naturally on bronze when it’s exposed to air for a long time. They also removed discolorations. “Bronze actually has natural gold highlights in the metal,” Feinman explained. “But this happened to have been painted. A lot of the faux look that he had was painting.” The Restoration ArTechs team stripped the paint and buffed the statue to bring out its highlights, then added a clear, protective coat, which has a 10-year warranty. The coat will preserve the appearance of the statue’s tones and protect it against the salt air, Feinman said. Finally, the team added a wax coating to the statue. “This is the work that we take pride in — restoring sculptures, keeping the area beautiful, and making places presentable and welcoming,” said Feinman, who wouldn’t disclose the exact project coast, but noted it was several thousand dollars. Feinman has been in the restoration business for 18 years. He started his business out of his garage, and now his

The Don Diego statue at the Del Mar Fairgrounds was recently restored. Courtesy photo company has a portfolio that includes work on the Golden Gate Bridge. From private art collections to national monuments, Feinman has restored metal, stone, tile and glass surfaces across the country. But his latest project is one that’s truly special. “I’m a local,” he said. “I attend the fair every year.” The Don Diego statue was unveiled nearly 30 years ago, the night before the 1985 fair. The monument was created in honor of Don Diego, the official greeter and host of the fair for decades, a caballero portrayed by Spanish actor Tom Hernandez from 1947 until his death in

1984. The character was based on the real-life Don Diego, Don Diego Alvarado, whose family had a large land grant in Del Mar during the late 1800s. Don Diego was known for his grand parties, and was regarded as the local symbol of a gracious host. Don Diego lives on today as the fair’s symbolic host and through the Don Diego Scholarship Foundation, which provides financial support for San Diego County college-bound students. “I’m always amazed because it’s like a diamond in the rough,” said Feinman, of the restored statue. “When we take off the damages, we start to see the underlying beauty and what the artist intended. It starts to come alive. That’s what we seek out.” For more information, visit www.restorationartechs.com

10th anniversary Switchfoot Bro-Am arrives July 12 The 10th Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert returns to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas on July 12. The free day-long event features activities including a charity surf contest (7 a.m.-3:30 p.m.), a nerf surf jousting exposition between surf contest heats, the Rob Machado Bro Junior, and live music from Switchfoot, The Future’s League, Run River North, and Cody Lovaas on the beach (noon-5 p.m.). The evening will round out with a 7 p.m. screening of Switchfoot’s documentary, “Fading West,” and a performance from Switchfoot at La Paloma Theatre. Tickets are $35, which includes a signed copy of “Fading West”; or $50 VIP, which includes a signed copy of Fading West, reserved seating, and meet-and-greet with Switchfoot. Bro-Am weekend kicks off on Friday, July 11, with an auction night at a private Olivenhain estate. Guests will savor signature dishes and sips from the area’s leading restaurants including Sea & Smoke, Truluck’s, Jake’s Del Mar, Table 926, Pacific Coast Grill, Daphne’s, Pacifica Del Mar, Lobster West, Pizza Port Brewing Company, Meritage Wine Market, and more. Highlights include a performance by Switchfoot, opportunity drawings, and silent and live auctions featuring Switchfoot’s own Drew Shirley as auctioneer and emcee, alongside action sports personality Chris Cote. This year’s event will also feature a rare appearance and live auction painting created on stage by internationally recognized graffiti artist, best-selling author (“Unthink”), and

TED presenter Erik Wahl (https://vimeo. com/84862277). Using his experience as a businessman and artist, Wahl has become a sought-after corporate speaker, with clients including AT&T, Disney and Microsoft. The only way to acquire a Wahl painting today is via a charity auction. Auction Night tickets are $175, or $250 for VIP, which includes a preevent meet-and-greet reception with Switchfoot and Wahl. An annual event dear to Switchfoot’s heart, the Bro-Am was created to give back to the San Diego community while benefiting local children’s charities through funds raised at the auction night, as well as from vendors on the beach day-of, corporate surf team entries, and sponsorships. Since its inception in 2005, the Bro-Am has raised more than $900,000 for San Diego-based children’s charities. The members of Switchfoot recently created the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation to continue their mission of supporting local at-risk, homeless and street kids. This year, the band will partner with SIMA, and a portion of this year’s Bro-Am proceeds will benefit SIMA’s 2014 Humanitarian Fund, which raises money to support surf- or boardsport-related social and humanitarian nonprofits focused on improving the quality of life, health, and/or human welfare. “The Switchfoot Bro-Am is my favorite day of the year,” says Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman. “It’s an entire community of surfing and rock and roll joining together for a surf contest and concert on the beach, all to benefit home-

And this year means even more than ever — it’s our 10th anniversary!” This year’s event will welcome back the third annual Rob Machado Bro Junior, for ages 16 and under. Kids compete on one of Rob Machado’s boards, and stick around for the day’s festivities. Rather than a financial donation, entrants bring gently used surf clothes to the beach on competition day as their entry fee. Four-person corporate surf teams secure their participation via sponsorship donation to the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation. Participants thus far are representing Hurley, Surf Ride, Shaper Studios, Dragon, Nixon, Rusty North America, Surfline.com, Univ, and Macbeth, as well as surf legend Rob Machado, and members of Switchfoot.

Thanks to Bro-Am’s relationship with Hurley H2O, the Bro-Am beach experience is a “single-use-plastic-water-bottle-free event.” Attendees are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle to fill up free at the H2O station, and Hurley H2O provides stainless steel bottles with funds raised supporting nonprofit ecopartners. Continuing its eco-friendly efforts, the Switchfoot Bro-Am will again offer cuttingedge solar-powered sound and staging by using solar energy to deliver pollution-free concerts. The Rob Machado Foundation, dedicated to teaching youth about their impact on the environment, will once again have a team of surfers and environmentalists managing waste at Bro-Am. The Green Team will ensure that as much waste as possible is diverted from the landfill. The team will educate attendees on proper sorting of trash and recyclables as well as tabulating the total landfill diversion rate. The goal is to empower attendees to reduce their trash footprint beyond the event. To continue to help ease traffic in neighboring areas, the Switchfoot Bro-Am will again offer parking and traffic solutions, which include a free shuttle from San Dieguito Academy. The event encourages attendees to use the parking lot at City Hall, at the corner of Vulcan Avenue and E Street. Attendees are also encouraged to take the Coaster. Tickets for all events are available at www. switchfoot.com/bro-am.

Unique duo to perform popular hits from the 1930s-1950s at ‘Stardust Memories’ event BY DIANE Y. WELCH On Thursday, July 3, from noon - 1 p.m., St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall in Del Mar is the venue for a unique musical experience that crosses culture and generations. The “Stardust Memories” show is a one-time event featuring pianist Dr. Ed Siegel of Solana Beach and vocalist Joohoe “Peppy” Koo of Seoul, Korea. The two will perform a medley of songs that also cross genres and eras, and appeals to a broad audience. The hour-long repertoire includes popular hits from the 1930s through the 1950s; Broadway show hits; covers from Elvis, The Beatles, and Billy Joel; popular songs from film; and romantic love songs. Siegel will also play some solo classical pieces that include Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”, Bach’s “Aire on a G String”, and more. Sponsored by the church and by the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club, the event is free but donations of any amount are welcome and will be split equally to benefit both organizations, said Siegel, who conceived and planned the event. “People may bring along a bagged lunch and free parking will be available in the church lot,” he added. Koo was in La Jolla at UC San Diego studying English when the two met eight years ago. “I was good friends with one of his teachers at that time and we would often have potluck dinners with his students at my house. Joohoe came in and I could see he was outgoing and friendly,” recalled Siegel. “I said, ‘I hear you can sing, how about com-

life.” This connection is more remarkable given their backgrounds and cultural differences. Siegel, a psychiatrist, is 74; Koo, a banker who sell derivatives to institutional buyers, is 34. But they share common interests. Both travel extensively and like to entertain, and both are amateur musicians with an intuitive skill level. Siegel does not read music but has a repertoire of over 1,000 tunes that he plays from memory; Koo has perfect pitch, easily harmonizes tunes and memorizes lyrics and sings with a voice that is a cross between “Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole,” according to Siegel. Neither has had formal musical training. The two rehearsed over a couple of weekends in the summer of 2005, then booked six hours of recording studio time when they cut 50 professional-level songs on a CD. “We couldn’t believe how well it came out,” Siegel remarked. Each year they meet either in Korea or the U.S. and perform together. Past venues include Fort Collins and Estes Park, Colo., and performances in Seoul and Hong Kong. The “Stardust Memories” mid-day performance will be followed by the Solana Beach Patriotic July Fourth Community Sing-a-Long on Thursday evening at Fletcher Cove Community Center at 7:30 p.m. when Koo and Siegel will perform some of their repertoire. Both events are family friendly and free to attend.

CURTIS L. CHAN, DDS CELEBRATING 26 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE IN FAMILY DENTAL CARE The Curious Fork Photo by Lauren Radack

Gluten-free café opens in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK There’s a new, all-in-one café, shop and cooking school in Solana Beach. Co-founded by chefs Barbara McQuiston and Kai Peyrefitte, The Curious Fork opened mid-June in the Ocean Pointe complex just north of the Del Mar Racetrack at 512 Via de la Valle. “It’s been an adventure getting this place opened up,” said Peyrefitte. “We had to find the right home,” McQuiston added. “We were lucky to find this space and be able to make it our own.” From 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with lunch starting at 10:30 a.m., The Curious Fork operates as a quick-service café, serving organic, gluten-free pastries, salads, soups, sandwiches, pizzas and more. The café is also the first in San Diego to serve the Bay Area’s Blue Bottle Coffee. “We have one standard: If it does not match up to the best gluten product out there in the industry today, we don’t put it out,” Peyrefitte said. “Everything we do here, you can’t tell the difference between it and a product made with gluten.” McQuiston, a Del Mar resident, grew up cooking with her mother and grandmother using fresh ingredients from the garden. She and her children were later diagnosed with celiac disease, a digestive and autoimmune disorder that can damage the lining of the small intestine. After switching to a gluten-free diet, her family’s health, along with her own, dramatically improved. “We want to bring healthy, gluten-free cooking into people’s lives,” McQuiston said. “We want to educate people on how to live a wholesome life.” For 30 years, McQuiston worked in aerospace and national defense, most recently as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. She worked closely with both the Bush and Obama administrations. With a passion for culinary arts and healthy-living, McQuiston transitioned from her high-profile career and enrolled at the San Diego Culinary Institute. “Working in defense and defense-related technology, I was doing a service to the country,” McQuiston said. “Now, I’m helping the world one person at a time. I call this my ‘second life.’” While at SDCI, McQuiston met Peyrefitte, her teacher and also an accomplished chef who has been in the industry for more than 30 years, since he was 13 years old. Sharing the same vision, the pair decided to open an all-in-one café, shop and cooking school to promote healthy living. In the evening, The Curious Fork will host a variety of cooking classes for all skill levels, as well as guest chef demos and special events. “Cooking can be so simple,” said Peyrefitte, who graduated from the California Culinary Academy in 1993, and went on to work as the executive chef for Hilton Hotels, the executive chef for The San Diego Convention Center Corporation, and the food and beverage director for multiple country clubs. “It’s fun and it should be fun. It doesn’t need to be some big, technical mystery.” McQuiston and Peyrefitte also brought Daryl Biggs, another SDCI graduate, to The Curious Fork. Biggs also transitioned to the food industry, having worked in finance for eight years. As product manager, he handpicks the products the shop sells. The retail shop at The Curious Fork features products that promote healthy living and improve at-home cooking techniques. From EcoQue, an energy-efficient portable grill for $69.99, to ROK, a manual espresso maker for $199.99, the shop carries a variety of appliances, cookware and bakeware, artisan goods and specialty gifts, including do-it-yourself cheese kits and bottled balsamic vinegar made in-house. “If we carry it, we stand behind it,” said Biggs, a Del Mar resident. “We stand behind everything we have.” For more information about The Curious Fork, call 855-387-3675 or visit www.thecuriousfork.com.

New coffee shop and eatery CafĂŠ Cantata opens in Flower Hill Promenade BY KAREN BILLING CafĂŠ Cantata, a new coffee shop and eatery opened up on June 18 in Flower Hill Promenade, filling the space left behind by Pannikin. The new cafĂŠ comes courtesy of Johan Engman, the owner and founder of the popular Fig Tree CafĂŠ. “We’ve had a nice little crowd in here and the feedback has been very good,â€? said Engman. “People are super happy with the design, they think it’s cool and cutting edge.â€? Engman said people are raving about the bike on the cafÊ’s brick wall — it’s a beach cruiser juxtaposed on the wall so the wheels serve as the “Oâ€?s in the word food. After taking over the space, Engman did a fair amount of remodeling over the last month. A counter top and seating replaced the old pastry display case and Engman brought in reclaimed wood tables and chairs stamped with the cafÊ’s name and created several cozy nooks for lingering over coffee. A big brown leather couch sits in the middle of the cafĂŠ and a va-

Owner Johan Engman has opened up CafĂŠ Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade. Photo by Karen Billing riety of potted greenery dots the tables and is on display throughout the space. The cafĂŠ is still connected to Pangea Outpost, but is no longer connected with Dahlmann’s Chocolates. Engman started off in the restaurant industry when he was 17 years old, working as a busboy. He worked his way up to server and started saving money to open his own place. He opened his first Fig Tree CafĂŠ in Pacific Beach in 2008 on a shoestring budget with plastic tables and chairs. He said 2008, in the middle of the economic downturn, was “arguably the worst time to open a restaurantâ€? but it turned out really well, he was able to remodel his space and gain quite a following. Engman opened his second Fig Tree location in Hillcrest in 2011 and his third last year at Liberty Station. The opportunity to come to Flower Hill Promenade was one he couldn’t pass up. “I had always wanted to go up north with the Fig Tree concept but this space wasn’t

right because the kitchen is smaller,â€? Engman said. “I liked this mall and I like being in this area and I wanted to do something different. Pannikin had been a success here for so long I feel like this space is almost iconic for a coffee shop. I felt it was a good idea to keep it as a coffee shop and just switch things up a bit.â€? CafĂŠ Cantata borrows its name from a musical composition: Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Coffee Cantata,â€? written in 1729. The story of the piece is painted onto one of the walls of the coffee shop — it’s a lighthearted opera that pokes fun at the powerful addiction many of Bach’s townspeople had toward an exotic new substance called coffee. In the piece, a girl named Aria refuses to give up her coffee addiction as she says it is “more delicious than a thousand kisses and sweeter than muscatel wine.â€? Musical touches have been added to the design and Engman also hopes to add two to three nights a week of live music. Cantata serves up three different house blends of coffee daily as well as lattes and machiattos. The cafĂŠ also has a Yama slow drip cold brew coffee maker — an interesting contraption set up at the bar that almost looks like some kind of chemistry experiment. The coffee is cold brewed over 12 hours, at two drops per second, resulting in a coffee that is 67 percent less acidic but higher in caffeine. The cafĂŠ uses the cold brew for its iced coffee, called a C-12. Engman said they offer a much smaller menu than his Fig Tree locations for the cafÊ’s breakfast and lunches, but every bit as delicious. He said their seasonal berry salad has been very popular, with a cranberry vinaigrette they make in house. Other popular dishes are a vegetarian soy chorizo breakfast burrito or scramble, an eggplant panini, a gluten-free portabella panini on bread from a local bakery and their “very tastyâ€? granola with peanut butter in it. The cafĂŠ is now open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.. seven days a week. For more information visit Facebook.com/CafeCantataSD or call (858) 925-7297. Flower Hill Promenade is located at 2720 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, CA 92014.

47th Anniversary SALES EVENT

Through training and assistance offered by nonprofits, women can begin their own businesses and create sustainable livelihoods. Fair Trade Decor of Del Mar is hosting an awareness event of fair trade crafts from noon-4 p.m. Sunday, June 29.

Fair Trade Decor event June 29 helps empower women, create awareness of programs BY EZRA PLANCON Fair Trade Decor is celebrating women from around the world in its second halfday event, “Global Stories: Women’s Empowerment.” From noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 29, organizations and individuals will fill Fair Trade Decor’s space with stories of female entrepreneurship, independence, and, of course, empowerment. At the heart of Global Stories: Women’s Empowerment is the idea of genuine conversation and collaboration. During the four-hour event at 1412 Camino Del Mar, Fair Trade Decor will bring women from a range of organizations and businesses to share their stories of empowerment with each other and the community. With all of these amazing women, and the greater San Diego community, together under one roof, new kinds of conversations, involvement, and empowerment will blossom. Many of the day’s presenters are impressive California-based organizations. Women’s Empowerment International is housed at UC San Diego. It teams with nonprofits to provide financial assistance to impoverished and refugee women locally and internationally. Through their training and assistance, women can begin their own businesses and create sustainable livelihoods. Previously a teacher in Honduras, Emily Moberly founded Traveling Stories to fight poverty “one book at a time.” Beginning in

2010, Traveling Stories has established free literacy programs for children and founded seven libraries around the world in towns where, sometimes, a book had never been seen. The organization provides books and programs for children, and resources for others to start their own library anywhere in the world. Fair Trade Decor of Del Mar is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and offers a diverse range of unique, eco-friendly, and hand-crafted items from more than 40 countries — all are 100 percent authenticated fair trade. Besides offering artisan crafts and home goods, it is the mission of owners Betsy and Jude Paganelli to tell the stories of the men and women around the world who make these pieces and benefit from fair trade agreements, thus giving birth to the Global Stories event series. This free event is open to all ages and will prove to be a powerful and enlightening afternoon. Stop by anytime from noon to 4 p.m. on June 29 to mingle, shop and ear impressive stories from groups like Women’s Empowerment International, Traveling Stories, Malia Designs, La Mesa Fair Trade, and many more. Fair Trade Decor is at 1412 Camino Del Mar and open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For information about the store and Global Stories: Women’s Empowerment, visit www. fairtradedecor.com or facebook.com/fairtradedecor.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Del Mar Highlands’ Mia Francesca unveils new summer menu

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From drinks to desserts and every dish in between, Mia Francesca in Carmel Valley has released an all-new menu just in time for the summer season. Located in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, the Italian restaurant is known for its rotating seasonal menu. In fact, Chef Woody Benitez changes the menu so often that diners order from a handwritten list of dishes that’s updated monthly. Sauces, pastas and dishes are made from scratch with fresh local produce and seafood. “Chef Woody’s got some amazing stuff coming out of the kitchen, some great summer dishes,” said General Manager Kevin Haagenson, who also heads Mia Francesca’s sister restaurant, Davanti Enoteca, which is located next door. “We’re looking forward to a great summer. We’ve got something for everyone.” This summer, diners can cool off with a cocktail on the restaurant’s patio. The DiSotto Manhattan features a mix of Templeton Rye and Sweet Vermouth, topped with maraschino cherries and an orange peel. The Pomegranate Lychee Martini is a tropical splash of pomegranate vodka, SOHO Lychee Liqueur, lime juice, cranberry juice and garnished with fresh lychee fruit and three olives. Start off with an appetizer and choose from four varieties of bruschetta, thick-cut slices of toasted Italian bread layered with cheese, herbs, veggies and other toppings. Fans of roasted Brussels sprouts are sure to enjoy Cavoletti di Bruxelles con Pancetta, sprouts served with spicy Fresno peppers, crispy pancetta and a touch of lemon. Or you can try Risotto con Funghi, a creamy risotto made with mushrooms, garlic, white wine and fresh mozzarella. A popular new dish is Focaccia al Forno, oven-baked Italian bread topped with Crescenza cheese, thin slices of Italian speck

ham and fresh arugula. If you’re in the mood for pasta, you’ve come to the right place. Mia Francesca’s noodles are made in-house, and this summer, the chef has introduced Linguine Fagattaro. This simple yet scrumptious dish features linguine

topped with a sauce of tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil and mozzarella. As for seafood, the Pesce con Tarragon e Funghi is new on the seasonal menu. The yellowtail comes with bay shrimp, tarragon aioli, mushroom and oven-dried tomatoes.

Finish off your meal with refreshing blood orange sorbet mixed with vanilla gelato and Aranciata, which is Pellegrino’s carbonated orangeade, and topped with whipped cream. Mia Francesca came to San Diego more than two and a half years ago, after a long history in the Midwest. In 1992, restaurateur Scott Harris opened the first location in Chicago. Now there are 20 Mia Francesca traditional Italian eateries in Chicago, as well as locations in Wisconsin, North Carolina and California. Mia Francesca is located at 12955 El Camino Real, Suite G-4, Carmel Valley. The restaurant sits next to Davanti Enoteca and across from Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas.

Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society installs board BY KRISTINA HOUCK The banquet room at Tony’s Jacal was filled June 20 for the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society’s annual installation dinner. Reigning officers were re-installed with Jan Grice of the San Dieguito Heritage Museum officiating. Virginia Garland was sworn in as president for a second term. Pat Smart was also re-elected vice president, Cindi Clemons was re-elected corresponding secretary, Suellen Lodge was re-elected recording secretary and Tom Golich was re-elected treasurer. About 60 of the society’s more than 150 members attended the event, along with Councilman Mike Nichols and Councilman David Zito. “I’m very excited,” Garland said. “I love leadership, and there are so many amazing people in this organization.” The society also recognized three of its members with certificates for their service. Board Member Trudy Synodis was honored for organizing projects that beautify the city. Docent Jan Wier was recognized for her years of volunteerism. Lenore Dale was recognized for her work on the society’s monthly newsletter. The evening kicked off with two songs from the cast of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s upcoming “Romance/Romance,” a musical that runs July 12-Aug. 3 at the Solana Beach theater. The society then awarded recent Torrey

Pines High School graduates Lizeth Garcia and Daisy Saldivar each with $1,000 scholarships. In the fall, Lizeth will attend San Jose State University and Daisy will attend Chico State University. Offering financial support for collegebound Solana Beach students is just one of the ways the society gives back to the community. The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society evolved from the Solana Beach Women’s Civic Club, which was founded in 1953. After Solana Beach’s incorporation in 1986, the City Council asked the club to become custodians of the city’s history. In 1989 its Certificate of Incorporation was officially modified to create the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society and men were welcomed into the organization. Today the society’s focus is still on civic and cultural advancement, and philanthropy, with the added element of educating others about Solana Beach’s local history through programs at the Heritage Museum located in La Colonia Park. Some of the projects the society has sponsored include the renovation of the Fletcher Cove Community Center, the acquisition of the Gateway property and the continued beautification of the city through plantings and public art.

Ford 2013 Escape Recall Information: Consumer Info & Recommended Steps Owners of the latest 2013 Ford Escape crossovers are urged to take the next steps to prevent accident and injury following the automaker’s latest recall. According to New York Times, Ford is recalling about 140,000 vehicles in the United States because of a potential fire hazard. The manufacturer has indicated the Escape’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine may be to blame for 13 recent auto fires that prompted the recall. Other export markets including Canada may also be affected. According to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, an

additional 21,000 cars are being recalled internationally in addition to the recall in the U.S. Ford explained the recall was voluntarily issued due to concerns over cracks in the engine during possible overheating of the cylinder head. Cracking could lead to leaked oil and a possible fire in the presence of high-heat surfaces. Although no personal injury has been reported, 13 vehicles were ignited into flames after suspected cracking within the engine components. Ford aims to fix the problem by enhancing “the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.” Owners of all 2013 Ford Escapes are urged to visit an authorized dealer to inquire on recall repairs. According the auto manufacturer’s site, some 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes thought to have undergone repair may still produce fuel leaks which could pose a fire hazard. An additional 2,300 vehicles in Canadian and export markets are additionally recalled. More information on the recall can be found here.

NEXT STEPS: STAY SAFE & FOLLOW UP ON RECALL REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY Ford says the recall is voluntary, but that’s not to be confused with voluntary repair. In this sense, Ford’s voluntary recall means the company was not forced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue the recall. All consumers, however, should know that recall repairs are urged to be completed as soon as possible and are therefore not voluntary. To ensure your safety, please make sure to: 1. Contact Ford Immediately If you’re at all unsure whether your vehicle is affected, call Ford at 1-866436-7332 and provide your Vehicle Identification Number to receive more information. Alternatively, Ford owners can log onto http://FordOwner.com or by clicking here to find recall information. 2. Schedule Repairs To avoid any risk of fires, you must complete your repairs as quickly as possible. Most authorized Ford dealerships or repair stations will complete your recall repair free

of charge. It’s important to contact Ford to find out which locations can service your vehicle for free. 3. Report Any Additional Problems Consumers should notify the auto manufacturer when any additional problems arise. Even if the issue is small – say, loose hubcaps or a trunk that won’t stay shut – it’s important to report the malfunction right away. Lives are saved when consumers are proactive. 4. Register Your Vehicle for Future Recalls Owners of Ford vehicles and all other manufacturers are urged to register their vehicles and other commonly used household items, equipment or machinery at Recalls.gov. Benefits of registering include quick notification in the event of new or additional recalls, ongoing updates and any additional information pertaining to relevant recalls. Consumers can even register to receive recall information about foods, medicines, toys, furniture, personal care, cosmetics and other consumer products.

What your taste buds tell about you The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN While savoring a fine meal, all five senses play a key role in the dining experience: Presentation gives us eye candy, aromas draw us in, textures and temperatures seduce the palate, and sounds like sizzling and chewing enhance the gustatory pleasures. But ultimately, flavor trumps all. Everyone has their favorite flavors and those they shun. Here’s a primer to help you appreciate your sense of taste, and understand what your preferences say about your personality. Our Best Buds Taste buds are actually taste receptors clustered on papillae on the tongue, palate, pharynx and esophagus. Each tiny taste bud has more than 100 cells, while the number of buds ranges from 9,000 (average adult) to 10,000 (average for children). The more buds, the

more taste nuances the person can identify. As we age, our taste abilities, which is a chemical sense, diminish. In addition, smoking (along with colds and allergies) tend to deaden taste buds. We taste sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami or savory flavors, while spicy foods like chilis trigger pain receptors not taste buds. The tip of the tongue best detects sweet tastes, salty around the edges, acidic flavors on the dorsal region, and bitter at the base. Snail-Paced Taste Some foods require multiple exposures to appreciate their fine qualities. This is known as an “acquired” taste. Stinky cheeses, coffee, alcoholic beverages (particularly beer), bitter teas, caviar, escargot and black olives are the most common foods that “grow on you” after several tastings. Family Flavors Researchers have found that your food tastes are molded in childhood. If you were not introduced to certain foods growing up, you will probably shy away from them later on. So if your mom was repulsed by lamb and didn’t offer it to the family, you most likely will not be a lamb fan either. Leaves a Bad Taste in your Mouth A good or bad food memory will also model your tastes. If you developed the flu, had a bout of food poisoning or another negative experience after eating a certain dish, you will probably associate that food with the bad episode and steer clear of it. On the other hand, if a food was associated with a promotion, milestone or other delightful event, you will probably relish the dish. Tell-Tale Tastes Researchers have associated food preferences with personality traits, discovering sweet tooths as amiable, helpful and cooperative types; spicy food lovers as more likely to be risk-takers, while mild-mannered taste buds translating to those with cautious behavior. Those with cravings for bitter foods tend to be judgmental or harsh decision makers. Better swap out the tonic water, lemon spritzers, black coffee and beer for sweeter choices like honey tea, lemonade and apple juice, so you can view the world through rose-colored glasses.
