Opening Day at the Races 2013

Former supporters again call for Filner to resign BY SARAH SAPEDA City News Service Ex-supporters of Mayor Bob Filner renewed their call for his resignation July 15 and detailed sexual harassment claims against him, which include jamming his tongue down a woman’s throat, putting his hand inside her bra and telling another she would do better work without panties on. Former Councilwoman Donna Frye alleged that a pattern of behavior had emerged that included questioning a woman’s relationship status, isolating her, asking for a later meeting, making sexual comments and “physically imposing himself upon her.” “Bob Filner is tragically unsafe

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Five years after Del Mar’s inlieu parking fee program was approved, downtown property owners can finally pay a fee instead of providing some of their required onsite parking spaces. The Del Mar City Council on July 16 established a fee for the program, which permits owners to waive some of their onsite parking requirements by paying into a fund

Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center spearhead voter initiative BY KRISTINA HOUCK A local group announced it launched a new voter initiative to rent out Solana Beach’s refurbished Fletcher Cove Community Center for private events. During the Solana Beach City Council meeting on July 10, members of the Friends of the Fletcher Cove Community Center said they launched the ini-

for any woman to approach, and again we call on the mayor to resign and we want the women of this city and the people who love them to know that sexual abuse and this behavior is not normal, not their fault and they are not to blame — Bob Filner is to blame,” Frye said. Filner did not respond directly to the allegations made by Frye and two attorneys at a news conference. But, in announcing staff changes and reiterating that he has no plans to step down, he released a statement saying that as the city’s elected mayor, “I fully expect to be accountable to the citizens of San Diego for all of my actions.

CV Library to celebrate 20th anniversary BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Library’s exterior upgrade is nearly complete, just in time for the celebration of its 20th anniversary with a community party on Saturday, July 27. It will be a big fete for what is considered one of the best, most-loved libraries in San Diego. In 2012, the library’s circulation was 394,083, one of the highest circulations in the city other than the central library downtown. “The fact that it is so well used is really a testament to what a great asset it is to the community,” said Marion Moss Hubbard, the city library system’s senior public information officer. “The city is really proud of that branch, it is one of our shining branches.”

Solana Beach City Council continues decision on Eden Gardens project BY KRISTINA HOUCK After hearing varied opinions from community members, the Solana Beach City Council on July 10 decided to postpone its vote on a proposed Eden Gardens mixed-use development project. The plan proposes the construction of one building with a retail/office space on the first floor and a home on the second floor, as well as three detached townhomes, on a 10,874-square-foot lot at 636 Valley Ave. Two speakers argued against the project in fear of changing the historic neighborhood, inadequate parking and increased traffic. All four buildings are designed higher than 30 feet, with the tallest at almost 35 feet. The plan designates 14 parking spaces, five for the retail/office space, two for each home and a guest space. “We just feel like this building is way too large to maintain the character of our community,” said Lisa Montes, whose family moved to Eden Gardens in 1927. “It is smack in the middle of Valley Avenue. “When I saw the [story] poles go up, my heart broke because my mom and my family have been in this community, I work with the community’s families and I want to oppose it. I hope that you consider opposing it.” Three other speakers approved of the project. “We see it as a really good contribution to our community there and for all the businesses there as well,” said Gabriel Granados Jr., a 45-year resident of Eden Gardens and manager of Don Chuy Mexican Restaurant on 650 Valley Ave. “I hope that the council sees it the same way.” Eden Gardens resident Danny Hernandez noted that the developer, Sea Breeze Properties, changed the project designs upon his request. “Sea Breeze came up to us and they were really forthcoming,” Hernandez said. “They actually moved the retail/ office away from our property. We just asked us once and they did it. “They’ve been very good neighbors listening to our See PROJECT, page 19

Solana Beach City Council to consider beach access for dogs

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Man’s best friend may soon have access to Solana Beach’s sandy shores. Although leashed dogs are permitted at Fletcher Cove Park to the top of the beach access ramp, the city currently prohibits dogs on its beaches. In a 4-1 vote, the Solana Beach City Council on July 10 authorized an environmental study to determine whether rules should change. Dogs are permitted on neighboring beaches. Leashed dogs are allowed at Cardiff State Beach. Del Mar also allows leashed dogs on much of its beaches year-round and allows unleashed dogs north of 29th Street from the day after Labor Day until June 15. “I’m just here to support that we allow dogs and their owners to walk on the beach like our neighbors in Del Mar and our neighbors in Encinitas,” said Charlene Letourneau, who has lived in Solana Beach

for 23 years. Resident Ira Opper added, “Let’s try to make Solana Beach more dog friendly.” With the council’s vote, $17,000 from undesignated reserves will be used to study the city’s options. Recommendations will be presented to the City Council at an unspecified date. “I’ll vote for it because I love dogs, but I’m a little disappointed this is costing so much and it’s required,” said Councilwoman Lesa Heebner. Casting the sole dissenting vote, Deputy Mayor Thomas Campbell said he couldn’t approve the study without knowing how new rules would be enforced. “I support the concept, but I think approving it without having a better understanding of the enforcement issues at this point is not something that I can support,” he said.

Writers win more journalism awards Writers for this newspaper recently won more journalism awards, this time at the recent Society of Professional Journalists San Diego Chapter competition. Reporter Joe Tash and education columnist Marsha Sutton won second place and honorable mention awards respectively. This newspaper and its writers have won numerous local, regional and national awards over the years, including three national “General Excellence” awards.

Two plead guilty to stealing iPads, laptop computers from nine schools BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Two Riverside County men pleaded guilty July 16 to burglary charges stemming from the thefts of iPads and other electronic devices from nine San Diego County schools. Trevor J. Williams, 21, and Eyon Zimmerman, 19, changed their pleas as trial was to begin. Williams will be sentenced to seven years in prison on Aug. 16. Zimmerman will be sentenced to five years behind bars on the same day. A third defendant, 21-year-old Thomas Earl Burleson, is set for trial on Wednesday. Williams and Burleson are documented gang members and Zimmerman is a known associate, according to Deputy District Attorney Brendan McHugh.

In court, Williams and Zimmerman admitted the crimes were committed for the benefit of their street gang, McHugh said. The three were charged with breaking into classrooms at schools in Del Mar Heights, Cardiff, Lakeside and other communities, stealing iPads, laptop computers and other electronics. Authorities said the thefts began last Nov. 18. Some of the defendants used their cell phones in the area of the schools the nights of the break-ins, according to previous court testimony. The defendants were arrested Jan. 30 at a Temeculaarea Border Patrol checkpoint. The iPads stolen from the Del Mar school earlier that morning or the night before were recovered from the defendants’ car, along with a laptop computer, bolt cutters and a projector, McHugh said.

Torrey Hills planning board taking steps to try and help expedite proposed greenbelt project BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board is “frustrated and tired of waiting” for the city to get moving on a proposed greenbelt project that for several years has already been designed and paid for. The simple greenbelt project improves a 200foot SDG&E easement under a power pole and lines at the crest of East Ocean Air Drive — it has been designed for three years and

$425,000 in funds were contributed to the city six years ago. The board members voted at its meeting on July 16 to send letters to the mayor and District 1 City Council President Protem Sherri Lightner to request they take back control of the project and pursue it as a private matter, hiring their own engineers and processing it through the city like any developer would.

City Kids Beach Kids closing doors this fall at Del Mar Highlands Town Center

Two hospitalized after car hits water stand at local grocery store BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two people were hospitalized on July 17 after a driver hit a water stand at the Ralphs at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The accident was reported at 2:40 p.m. San Diego police Officer Gerry Waclawek said the 89-year-old female driver backed her 1999 Toyota sedan into water bottle packages outside of the grocery store, hitting a 53-year-old female pedestrian. Both the driver and the pedestrian were taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla with minor injuries. Further details were not available. Photos/Eric Stafford

BY KAREN BILLING City Kids Beach Kids is leaving Del Mar Highlands Town Center after 20 years because its lease has not been renewed, according to Phil Ryan, who owns the business with his wife Lynn. Phil said the decision to leave was not theirs. “The recession was tough but we survived it. We looked around for other options and there aren’t any available to us so we’re closing,” Ryan said. “That’s just life. It’s an earlier retirement than we planned but we’ll survive.” Elizabeth Schreiber, Del Mar Highlands’ general manager, said that it is not their practice to disclose private landlord and tenant discussions. Schreiber said they do not have another tenant for the space. Construction in the area currently is for a few new tenant spaces, one to the right of Geppetto’s and the other on the lower level to the left of the FedEx office. The Ryans have been in business in San

Diego for over 30 years. They started with a store in La Jolla and also had a store in Encinitas. The Del Mar Highlands location was their last store and they used to be located over by Jimbo’s before moving into the bigger space up top. “It’s been a good run, retail definitely has its ups and downs,” Ryan said. “We made it through the recession and sales were growing strong and back to where we were before the recession. It’s a shame that they’re really not giving us any opportunity [to stay].” The store’s lease runs through the end of September and Ryan said they plan to start their back-to-school sale a little earlier than usual this year. At the end of over 20 years in business in Carmel Valley, Ryan said they are grateful for their very loyal customers. “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” Ryan said to his customers. “The customers we’ve had were phenomenal.”

Entrepreneur spearheads innovations that impact worldwide communication Del Mar’s Arlene Harris known as the ‘First Lady of Wireless’ BY JOE TASH As a child, Arlene Harris sat on the laps of the switchboard operators at her parents’ mobile telephone business, her first exposure to a nascent industry and a springboard to innovations that have helped shape the way people communicate around the globe. Harris, 65, a Del Mar resident, has initiated major advancements in the industry, from computerized systems to activate new cell phones, to prepaid calling plans to a cell phone service designed for seniors and people with disabilities. Along the way, she has earned numerous distinctions: in 2007, she became the first woman inducted into the Wireless Hall of Fame, and was given the nickname “First Lady of Wireless” by a journalist. Her husband and business partner, Martin Cooper, inventor of the first portable cellular phone, is a fellow Wireless Hall of Fame inductee. Harris also holds some 15 patents related to her inventions and ideas. Earlier this year, Harris was named one of the “10 Cool Women of 2013” by the Girl Scouts of San Diego, an award bestowed annually by the nonprofit group. Long before Harris launched companies and put her inventions into practice, she was a 12-year-old

girl in Los Angeles, where her parents gave her a job as a switchboard operator at their mobile communications company, Industrial Communications Systems. For six years, Harris worked regular shifts when she wasn’t in school, connecting calls for the company’s 350 or so customers, whose mobile telephones were mounted in their cars. She listened to the conversations so she would know when to disconnect and connect calls by plugging cables into the switchboard. Among the conversations she monitored were those of lawyers, real estate brokers, celebrities (including Jerry Lewis, Carol Burnett and Milton Berle), drug dealers, men cheating on their wives and truckers stranded on the freeway. “Because I was listening to the phone calls, I was learning how the world works,” she said. “I got to know at a very young age what it takes to do business and how people interacted. I think that had a profound effect on my instincts and insights about how to solve problems later in my life.” She earned enough money to buy a 1964 Chevelle, and during high school, she raced it at a local drag strip on weekends. “I was good at it,” she said of her racing days. “That was what I call my misspent youth.” Due to a reading disorder, Harris didn’t feel college was right for her so, after high school, she took a job in the airline industry, where

Arlene Harris and husband Martin Cooper she worked in marketing and helped develop automated systems for ticketing, passenger processing and other functions. She did attend some college classes. Later, she and her husband started a company that provided billing services for cellular customers, and she was the driving force behind new systems to automate the activation of new cellular phones, which cut down the waiting time for customers from five days to just a few hours. She also launched the first pre-paid cellular service, which she said eventually expanded access to cell phones for people throughout the world, who could not pass the credit checks needed to establish cellular service with a major carrier. “That’s one I’m very proud of,” she said. “I’m certain it would have happened, but we were the first.” Another of her start-ups was GreatCall, a cellular company that offered the Jitterbug phone service,

targeted at seniors and others with disabilities. The phones — and related service — featured simplicity of design and function, large buttons and clear sound for those who simply wanted to use their phones to make calls, rather than the myriad other functions found on today’s smart phones. Harris said her 91-year-old mother, Dolores Harris, and her friends were the target customers for Jitterbug, which today employs some 300 people in San Diego. “That level of personal experience is a real driver for innovation,” she said. Harris and her husband continue to operate Dyna LLC, an incubator for new ideas. She described a current project as probably the biggest she’s worked on. While she declined to discuss details, she said it involves Internet services for consumers, and is at least two years away from a public launch. “It’s a very big idea, very timely,” she said. Cooper, who has been her life and business partner for more than 30 years, is the technical person, she said, while her strength is integrating technologies to create solutions. “There’s a thread that runs through most of my inventions and things I’ve done,” she said. “Typically, it’s been to try to remove impediments to growth, impediments to smoother processes, to achieve an end that’s good for people,” she said.

Local grad battles harassment with book, athletes in action project BY ASHLEY MACKIN Gizelle Studevent, 22, a graduate of The Bishop’s School in La Jolla and Penn State University, is taking a tough stance against bullying in her new book, “Bridges.” It touches on her school experiences as a victim of bullying (not at Bishop’s) and provides challenging advice to adults who discover that a child is being bullied. In an interview with this newspaper group, Studevent said people were always telling her she should write a book about her story, but she never felt compelled. “Everyone has a story to tell, and I’m not an author,” she said. Then she heard about a student named Phoebe Prince, who came from Ireland to go to school in Boston. Prince killed herself in January 2010 because she couldn’t handle the bullying she was experiencing. “I knew I had a responsibility to share my story,” Studevent said. “(Phoebe’s story) pushed me to write the book.” “Bridges” was published on May 14 and chronicles the bullying incidents Studevent experienced before transferring to Bishop’s. It includes letters to parents, teachers, coaches, men, women and her generation as a whole. Declining to name the school at which she was horribly harassed, Studevent said she endured the humiliating treatment for years. It started with letters left in her gym bag and backpack addressed to “senorita” (Studevent is half Mexican), which talked about her racial background and implied that her father and her basketball coach “had something going on.” Other letters sent to her home said she would never get into college and questioned why she was even applying. The harassment escalated when someone (who Studevent later found out was her teammate) tried to plant drugs on her when the school was cracking down on teen drug use. The teammate was trying to make sure Studevent was caught with drugs, and even hired a dealer to plant them. The pinnacle of disgust

Gizelle Studevent arrived when her father was informed that someone had linked his daughter’s name to a pornography site on which the name “Gizelle Studevent” was listed as the participant. Studevent said the school administration’s ineffective handling of the situation really opened her eyes and worked to give her book its crucial direction: How adults can (and must) help. “When the administration found out about the first letter, they acted as if they were going to find out who did it,” she said. However, they later developed an attitude of “this will blow over,” she said, which left her to feel they had swept it under the rug. “(Adults) were too scared to do anything and that is a problem,” she said. “If the adults the kids confide in either can’t or won’t stand up for them, what are the kids supposed to do?” She said teachers, parents and coaches need to be willing to intercede on behalf of children who come to them with a problem — no matter how uncomfortable that problem might be. “Those in authority have a responsibility to stand up for these kids; they need you, they look to you to help them solve their problems. When parents and teachers are willing to listen and take action, it’s easier to tell kids in tough situations to go to someone they trust,” she said. When she transferred to The Bishop’s School, she

said she found supportive adults. “The teachers were welcoming and perfect,” Studevent said. With some financial aid provided by Bishop’s, Studevent attended the school and thrived. She went on to attend Penn State, where she won multiple community, athletic and academic awards, and formed Penn State Athletes Take Action (PSATA). Through PSATA, student athletes come together to go to a local school and teach kids different ways to talk to each other. Via interactive exercises, they demonstrate how positive words can make children feel good and how negative words and actions can leave a hurtful lasting impression. Studevent advised others who want to implement similar programs to reach out to universities because they have the athletes, as well as professors and students, with knowledge of how to best talk to children. Through her own painful experiences, writing the book and working with children as an adult, Studevent said one lesson became clear. “Teachers need to stand up for kids,” she said. “Do more for your children … go above and beyond. Teachers ask us to do that; well they should be doing the same for their students. You have these kids in your hands for a short while, so go above and beyond, and teach them life lessons … and parents, listen to your kids.” “Bridges” is available on Amazon.com and www. barnesandnoble.com.

It’s amazing what 30 years of growing up can lead to.

FILNER continued from page 1 “As a citizen of this country, I also expect — and am entitled to — due process, and the opportunity to respond in a fair and impartial venue to specific allegations. I do not believe I am guilty of sexual harassment, and I believe a full presentation of the facts will vindicate me,’’ Filner said. Frye said one woman has alleged that during a meeting, Filner sent a staffer away and then inquired whether she was single and asked for a date and if he could kiss her. Without waiting for a response, he allegedly grabbed her and kissed her, according to Frye, who said the woman pulled away and left. Another woman who met with the mayor in a public location alleges that he called her beautiful, asked to kiss her, then ``suddenly, and in clear view of

anyone who might pass by, grabbed and kissed her — jamming his tongue down her throat,’’ Frye said. As the woman gave Filner a ride home, he ``had his hand on the inside of her bra and was again trying to put his tongue down her throat,’’ Frye alleged. Frye, along with attorneys Marco Gonzalez and Cory Briggs, reiterated their calls for Filner to resign immediately. According to Gonzalez, an employee of the mayor’s office alleges that Filner ``grabbed her ass and touched her chest,’’ and says she witnessed the mayor try to kiss another employee and make rude comments. ``There is no circumstance that it would be appropriate for the mayor to enter into an elevator with my client or any person who he employs and to tell them that they would do a better job on that floor if they worked without their pant-

ies on,’’ Gonzalez said. The attorney described the so-called ``Filner Headlock,’’ in which the mayor allegedly puts his arm around a woman and pulls her away; and the ``Filner Dance,’’ the process of a woman trying to rebuke an attempt to kiss her. Gonzalez said a sexual harassment claim — a precursor to a lawsuit — would be filed with the city. He said that Filner’s recent taped apology, in which he acknowledged that he failed to fully respect women and at times intimidated them, but denied sexually harassing anyone, was incriminating. ``For purposes of the claim that will come forward and potentially the lawsuits, the mayor has already admitted violating the sexual harassment policy,’’ Gonzalez said. Briggs said the trio was trying to balance the public’s right to know with the right to privacy of the women involved. Filner, in his recent statement, said those calling for his resignation justified their demands with claims that city operations would be compromised. In response, he said he has appointed former county Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard as the city’s interim chief operating of-

ficer — a move he said was intended to strengthen city management. Ekard in turn appointed Scott Chadwick, who had been the city’s interim COO, as the assistant chief operating officer, and named Judy VonKalinowski as human resources director, according to Filner. She had been serving in that role on an interim basis. KPBS recently reported that Filner’s former fiancee, Bronwyn Ingram, said she recently broke off their engagement because he was verbally abusive toward her and blatantly sent sexually explicit text messages to other women. Bronwyn Ingram, 48, said she also believed the 70-year-old mayor, who was elected in November, should resign. Ingram said Filner’s ability to lead has been impaired by numerous recent controversies. However, she said that she had no direct knowledge of the sexual harassment allegations made against Filner. ``While I had heard rumors that he was engaging in sexual relationships with other women, I was never able to determine their validity,’’ Ingram said in her statement. Ingram and Filner dated for more than three years prior to her announcing their split recently.

PARKING continued from page 1 number or we want to think about it some more, but I think it’s time to move this on.” The full fee of $30,000 per stall is required up front for new projects or major remodels, but existing owners who want to expand or change their business use are allowed to make $1,000 annual payments, or $2.74 per day per stall. “This is because those types of businesses have already developed their property and they can’t tear down their property and build an extra space in the garage or tuck-under parking, whereas with a new construction, they could design it to include the parking onsite,” said Kathleen Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director. Based on construction costs for a parking structure and land values, staff recommended setting the fee at $30,000 per stall at the July 1 meeting, but council members directed staff to return with more

CENTER continued from page 1 The Fletcher Cove Community Center was rented for private events for more than 50 years before falling into disrepair in the 1990s, Golich said. He added citizens raised $225,000 for renovations believing the center would be rented for classes, meetings, weddings and other events. The city has considered the issue since the $350,000 renovation of the center was completed in 2011. The city spent nearly $32,000 on environmental studies regarding a proposal to rent the center out for private functions. The matter was tabled indefinitely after the City Council debated to a stalemate at its June 12 meeting. “Local government is always talking about transparency, but sometimes I don’t think they know what the meaning is,” said former Solana Beach Mayor Celine Olson. “The society raised some two-thirds of the money required while working hard to raise funds for the remodel. I do not recall transparency about the severe restrictions that

information about how the program’s revenue will be used. Depending on how much money the program brings in, potential projects include restriping the existing City Hall lot to gain additional stalls, leasing properties to provide additional public parking, constructing a parking garage and developing a shuttle system. Under the ordinance, if business owners commit to 50 in-lieu spaces, the city must implement a shuttle. A couple of property owners have expressed interest in the program, but no applications have been submitted because they didn’t know how much money they would have to pay, Garcia noted on July 1. “It’s a little bit of crystal ball gazing because we don’t know how many businesses will take advantage of this and how many will pay the full fee up front with construction,” Mosier said. Before the unanimous vote, Mayor Terry Sinnott asked staff to periodically return to report about the progress of the program. would be placed on its use. Now, for no transparent reasons, long-established community uses will not even be allowed.” The proposal pitted people who live near the center against other residents who want the facility to be made available for private events. Neighborhood residents were concerned about alcohol being served at the events, impacts on parking and noise disturbances. Olson said she believed the City Council is “protecting the neighbors on Pacific Avenue.” “As I recall, the Coastal Act was passed to provide the people with more access to the coastal beauties. I think we’re violating the Coastal Act by shutting the people out. If you do not reconsider your actions, may I suggest you rename the building the ‘Pacific Avenue Meditation Center: No Chanting Allowed. Way Too Noisy for the Neighbors.’” The Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center must collect 1,301 signatures, or 15 percent of Solana Beach voters, within 180 days to prompt a special election on the measure.

CV resident creates fundraising platform that supports local schools BY KRISTINA HOUCK After running a successful hedge fund that invested in Internet companies, Karim Pirani retired at 41. About a decade later and bored with retirement, the Carmel Valley resident decided to create his own Internet company in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retirement is not all that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cracked up to be, especially in your mid-40s,â&#x20AC;? said Pirani, 55. Pirani launched Safelist, which he calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;safer Craigslist.â&#x20AC;? But when the idea failed to gain traction, he began working on a new venture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fundraising platform that supports local schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schools are having such a tough time raising money through PTAs,â&#x20AC;? Pirani said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a bad economy, parents are having a tough time writing checks, so I got an idea to create a platform where parents can now clean out their garages and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The School Volunteer of the Year Award brought a lot of attention to our platform,â&#x20AC;? Pirani said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These volunteers always work in the shadows. None of these volunteers ever ask for attention or ask for awards. The School Volunteer of the Year Award that my company initiated, I think, brings attention to what this community does and how hard our volunteers work.â&#x20AC;? With more than $16,000 raised for San Diego County schools since DonorNation launched in January, Pirani said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy with his decision to come out of retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing now, this is the best thing that could have happened to me,â&#x20AC;? Pirani said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows me to build a platform where the community can join hands and support their favorite cause by donating their time or donating stuff.â&#x20AC;? For more information about DonorNation, visit www. donornation.org.

Karim Pirani basements and donate those items to their local PTA instead of having to write a check.â&#x20AC;? After receiving positive feedback from a test version in Santa Barbara, Pirani launched DonorNation in San Diego in January. The online platform enables individuals and businesses to help schools fundraise by buying and selling products, services and used items. A

Supervisor Dave Roberts appointed to national health panel Supervisor Dave Roberts has been appointed to a position on a national healthcare advisory panel. The National Association of Counties has appointed Roberts to serve on its Health Steering Committee. The panel, which includes county leaders and public health executives from across the country, considers all matters pertaining to public health and healthy communities. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health and Human Services Dave Agency Director, Nick Macchione, serves on Roberts the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This appointment means a lot to me,â&#x20AC;? Roberts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With my background as a healthcare executive and healthcare advisor to two presidential administrations, I look forward to participating in the Health Steering Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important business of creating healthy communities.â&#x20AC;? The committee evaluates and makes recommendations upon issues such as disease and injury prevention, health promotion, health disparities reduction and financing the delivery of health care. Roberts is a former senior manager for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, an international nonprofit organization. In that role, he drew upon his background as an appointed health policy advisor to President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush. Roberts earned national recognition for reducing costs and improving the delivery of Medicare, Medicaid and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health insurance coverage. He worked for the U.S. Air Force at the Pentagon and in Europe and played a key role in developing Tricare, the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health insurance system.

In addition to raising funds for local schools, DonorNation enables users to support local businesses, said Pirani, a father of two daughters, ages 11 and 22. From automotive repairs to yoga lessons, a variety of services are available through the online marketplace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing is more important than making sure our kids receive quality education,â&#x20AC;? Pirani said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By fostering community involvement, we are allowing the community to support our schools in a very tangible way and also support local businesses.â&#x20AC;? About 70 local schools are utilizing the platform, 40 of which registered after DonorNation gained exposure from its first annual School Volunteer of the Year Award. Award winners and honorable mentions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Grand Prize Winner James Fosnot of Oceanside High School â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were recognized at a ceremony on June 19 at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar.

For Eric Sage, tennis and rock and roll are a perfect match Local resident, who will perform at The Belly Up on July 26, is the author of the new book ‘The Magic Key to Tennis’ BY ROB LEDONNE It’s not often you hear of many respected athletes who turn into rock and roll stars or vice versa; each discipline employs wildly different skills and mindsets. Improbably, Eric Sage not only dabbles in both, but excels at them. “It’s certainly been interesting,” Sage acknowledges from his San Diego-area home. “I have a love for each.” Sage bounces from one profession to another and is performing on July 26 as part of a Bon Jovi tribute band at the Belly Up. So how exactly did Sage first launch two successful careers, and be successful with them his entire life? A little luck and a lot of determination. “My dad first got me into tennis; I started playing when I was around 4,” he recalls. In his youth, Sage moved with his family to Florida to train at a world-class tennis facility, then following high school landed a juicy scholarship that led him to San Diego State. “I played there, went on a professional tennis tour for three years, and got a world ranking.” However, after the tour, Sage was a passenger in a car accident, momentarily derailing his tennis

career and forcing him to pursue a new passion in life. “Of course, I had always loved listening to music,” Sage remembers. “Before matches, I’d always listen — there was always something about it.” In short order, he packed up and moved to Los Angeles, and while living in and around Hollywood started pursuing acting and music, honing his skills as a professional musician and landing acting roles in a variety of projects — most notably a memorable scene in the

1992 smash hit comedy “Wayne’s World.” “I didn’t know that movie would be successful,” he says. “People still remember me from it.” At the same time, Sage became known in trendy LA circles as a stellar tennis coach, and before long he started training the likes of George Clooney and Alec Baldwin. “It’s my day job; I love working with people who are really passionate about the game. People will usually recommend me to their friends, and that’s how my reputation has grown.” Sage’s tennis wisdom is so vast that he recently released a book, “The Magic Key to Tennis,” which has all of the tips of the trade that he’s picked up throughout the years. “People I was training were improving really quickly, and I’ve had many say I should write everything down,” Sage explains about the book’s origins. “I thought it was a neat idea, so I got it published and am just now starting to promote it. What’s interesting is that I’m being invited to speak at tennis seminars, and then at night I’ll play with my band.”

As if that’s not enough, Sage’s music career has taken off as well. He’s currently the front man for the Bay City Rollers featuring Ian Mitchell, a revival of the successful band from the late 1970s, and still performs shows in tribute bands in and around Southern California — including the upcoming date at the Belly Up, a venue he has an af-

finity for. “The crowds at the Belly Up are special. It’s one of my favorite places... and I’ve played all over.” For more on Eric Sage’s music career, visit www.EricSage.com. For additional information on his tennis training or to order his book, check out: www.themagickeytotennis.com.

Former local resident lands role on new Nickelodeon show BY KRISTINA HOUCK Former Rancho Santa Fe resident Breanna Yde grew up watching Nickelodeon series such as “Drake & Josh” and “iCarly.” Now, the 10 year old is starring in her own show on the television network. “I was just super surprised,” said Breanna, whose new series, “The Haunted Hathaways,” premiered on July 13. “That was my favorite network. I just couldn’t believe I made it to Nickelodeon!” The youngest of six children, Breanna was born in Sydney, Australia, and moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 2008. While watching Nickelodeon at the age of 6, Breanna decided she wanted to be on television. The former R. Roger Rowe Elementary School student began taking acting and music lessons at John Robert Powers in San Diego soon after. “She said she wanted to act, so we just supported it,” said Bill Yde, Breanna’s father and the CEO of Global Traffic Network, a company that sells traffic and news reports to radio and TV stations outside the U.S. “She likes to do a lot of things. We support everything she’s interested in, so she hopefully finds the thing she really likes.” After her performance in the International Presentation of Performers in Las Vegas in 2009, Breanna began being represented by Los Angeles-based Coast To Coast Talent Group. Initially, she worked as the lead actor of two small feature films produced by San Diego State University and obtained a role in the low-budget film “Level 26: Dark Prophecy.” Breanna also landed two guest appearances in “How I Met Your Mother” and roles in 18 national commercials for McDonalds, Stride Gum, Kraft Cheese, AT&T, Toyota and other companies. After her family relocated to Los Angeles to cut the constant commute, Breanna, in August 2012, began auditioning for “Haunted Hatha-

ways.” Roughly seven callbacks later, she learned she landed the role. “When my mom got the call, she told me, and I was just so excited,” Breanna said. “I was jumping around and calling all my friends. I was super excited!” “The Haunted Hathaways” tells the story of Michelle Hathaway and her two daughters, Taylor and Frankie, who move to New Orleans. They discover a father and his sons, who happen to be ghosts, are already occupying their new home. Breanna is portraying “Frankie,” a character she said enjoys playing pranks much like herself. “Frankie is a very mischievous person,” Breanna said. “She loves helping the ghosts with their haunt.” The live-action comedy series began filming in November 2012 at the Paramount lot. Nickelodeon later ordered 20 episodes, of which the cast already filmed 14. “I get to embody somebody new and see what it’s like to be somebody different,” Breanna said. “It’s been really fun, but it’s also gone by really quick.” When shooting during the school year, Breanna spends about eight hours filming and more than three hours studying a day. On the weekends, she likes to play basketball, golf and tennis. She also enjoys singing and playing the piano and guitar. “She comes home at

Sometimes it just brings a tear to my eye watching her do that stuff at such a young age.” The Yde family hosted a barbeque and invited friends to watch the premiere on a big screen in their backyard. Breanna said she was “super excited” for others to finally see the show. “I just can’t wait for other people to see what the show is about,” she said. “A lot of people think it’s all scary, but it’s really very funny. “ On the eve of the premiere and realizing her dream had come true, Breanna encouraged other children to pursue their dreams. “Always try your best, give a 110 percent and never give up,” she said. New episodes of “The Haunted Hathaways” air Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon.

Del Mar Heights resident thriving as longtime NBC sports journalist BY ROB LEDONNE It’s Monday night, and Dave Smith has just returned from an on-location assignment. “I was with our consumer reporter Bob Hansen, who we call Consumer Bob, and shot a story about surf shops in Clairemont,” explained Smith, a Del Mar Heights resident who has been working as a news and sports photojournalist for NBC 7 San Diego since 1975. “I’ve been reporting on a little bit of everything.” Smith isn’t kidding. With NBC, he has had a front-row seat to some of the biggest news and sports stories in San Diego for over three decades, rubbing shoulders with sport luminaries and cultivating a renowned career. “It’s funny because when I start attending UCSD, I had intended to study law,” he said. However, while taking a required course, a young professor named Dr. Herb Schiller piqued Smith’s interest in the communications field. “He was a fabulous teacher. Not long after that, I discovered internships. I applied for one at NBC and got hired, which is rare because San Diego is such a big market.”

Dave Smith covers the 2007 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. Oddly enough, Smith was hired to do camerawork, something he had never really done. “They gave me a trial run to see how I fared, and it turns out I have a natural affinity for it.” Starting out, Smith originally reported on hard news, something he never really took to. “For my first 10 years, I had bullets whizzing by me during SWAT action, and inmates break loose and chase me. I was interviewing people at the worst time in their lives.” One of Smith’s hardest assignments was the tragic

crash of PSA Flight 182, which fell to the ground after colliding with a Cessna airplane in North Park, “which was hard, because there were people I knew on the plane.” Another notable assignment ended with Smith getting roughed up by thenU.S. Ambassador to Mexico John Gavin during the infamous Tuna Wars. “Ronald Reagan had just appointed him and I don’t think he was expecting to see me; he charged and hit me over the head with his briefcase.” The melee became an international incident, in

which Smith received calls about it from around the world. Gavin later apologized. After the array of hardcore news stories, Smith transitioned into sports journalism where he’s attended and shot footage at virtually every notable sporting event in San Diego — from Chargers and Padres games to everything in between — getting to know each and every player and vicariously enjoying every championship and celebration. One of Smith’s most exciting moments occurred on assignment in Pittsburgh at Three River Stadium, when the Chargers were squaring off with the Steelers for a spot to go to Super Bowl ‘95. “The Steelers were the favorite, but it came down to the last play and the Chargers wound up winning,” remembers Smith. “The crowd was shocked; for a few seconds there was no noise, just deafening silence. The incredible part was that I had the privilege of coming back to San Diego on the Charger plane with the team celebrating, and then going to a rally at the stadium straight from the airport where 50,000 fans had gathered to congratulate the

It was incredibly emotional; when I talk about it now I still get goosebumps.” In addition, Smith remembers being a part of one of the very first local television live satellite reports, when he trekked to Perth, Australia for America’s Cup in 1987. “That was just the beginning of satellite broadcasting so it was just unheard of; we were the only TV station doing live reports,” said Smith. “We were there for a month, and it was hard work thanks to the time changes. I didn’t sleep that much, but

it was truly extraordinary to be a part of.” Throughout all of his experiences, Smith says he most cherishes the friendships he’s made. “The San Diego sports community is very small, so it’s like we’re a family. I became good friends with people like (legendary Padres player) Tony Gwynn, I was there for his whole baseball career, including when he got inducted into the Hall of Fame. We’ve shared some really cool personal moments; it’s a lot of fun to be with his family and folks close to him. To this day we talk a lot, so it’s been a great sortof bonus friendship.” Like any good journalist, Smith is anticipating a new slate of stories to work on tomorrow, but today he remembers his humble beginnings fondly. “I was living with my parents for close to a year before I got hired and my father (Robert Smith of Carmel Valley) wasn’t sure it was going to happen,” Smith recalls. “When I finally was brought on board, my dad came to me and said, ‘I was completely wrong and you were right. I’m proud of you... you persevered.’”

Searsucker now open at Del Mar Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Burlap has now officially become Searsucker. The eatery in Del Mar Highlands Town Center opened on July 17, bringing a downtown San Diego hotspot up to North County. Searsucker is in the same ownership group as its predecessor Burlap, the Enlightened Hospitality Group, headed up by James Brennan and Chef Brian Malarkey, the winning judge/mentor of ABC’s “The Taste” and BRAVO “Top Chef” season 4 finalist. The aim with Searsucker is to return focus on “approachable food, unique twists on American classics and a laid-back atmosphere.” Searsucker is one of the hospitality group’s most successful restaurant brands, opening in downtown San Diego in July 2010. The popular concept has since been brought to Scottsdale, Ariz., and Austin, Texas, and along with the group’s Herringbone is planned to expand on a more national level over the next five years. “Many of our Searsucker San Diego clientele are North County residents who make the drive down south each weekend to enjoy the food, design and ambiance that makes Searsucker such a unique destination,” Malarkey said. “To be able to now put a Searsucker in their very own neighborhood is a win for everyone.” Chef Andrew “Dizzle” Phillips will serve as the chef de cuisine in the kitchen, visible through large windows to the main restaurant. Phillips helped open the flagship Searsucker downtown. The Carmel Valley restaurant’s menu will mirror its downtown counterpart with “playful twists on New American classics,” such as mushrooms and burrata tuna with prosciutto, basil and balsamic, and the whiskey braised pork with grilled peaches and baconaise. Open for lunch, Searsucker serves up salads and sandwiches such as the “two hand” burger, pastrami on rye ruebans, French dips and “drunken” chicken salad made with brown butter aioli, almonds, rosemary, orange zest, port cherries on ciabatta bread. At dinner, Searsucker has a selection of small plates like short ribs, duck fat fries, mussels and beef tartare and entrée

There is salmon with roasted tomato, kale and cippolini; steaks and succotash baked with seasonal vegetables, as well as side dishes, such as fried Brussels sprouts and walnuts and cauliflower and manchego cheese Weekend brunch offers bottomless mimosas and manmosas (a concoction of bourbon, blackberry, maple syrup and champagne) and unexpected spins on breakfast standards. Designer Thomas Schoos, who created the Asian-inspired look of Burlap, has completed the restaurant’s makeover into vintage Americana and American West stylings.

Light fills the space from new front windows that were covered in the previous restaurant’s design and an outdoor patio full of tables and cozy padded furniture beckons. There is lots of natural wood and rope textures, playful animal art replaces Burlap’s dragons and the word “Eat” in vintage lit-up lettering appears in multiple spot. Searsucker will serve lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5-10 p.m., and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday brunch will be served 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For reservations, call (858) 369-5700; searsucker.com.

Education Matters/Opinion

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

More potpourri: local, statewide, national and international BY MARSHA SUTTON A journalism class at La Costa Canyon H i g h Marsha Sutton School in Carlsbad that was threatened with closure was saved after students rallied to defend the class. Speaking before the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education this past spring to oppose the decision, editor of the school newspaper, Megan Mineiro, used her well-honed journalism skills to reach out to other local media to broaden her appeal and make her case. Although it took a long while, the class has been re-instated this fall and updated to include the teaching of new skills to prepare journalism students beyond traditional print media. A win-win for the journalism students at LCC. They get their class back, plus more. Congratulations to Megan and her team for not taking this one sitting down. Her efforts galvanized prominent San Diego media to cover the story, and her compelling arguments brought about the reversal of a bad decision. Miranda rights for students On the subject of students’ rights, an interesting story in Education Week on May 8 summarized a Kentucky Supreme Court verdict that ruled that students must be read their Miranda rights before school district administrators can question students about possible illegal activity. In this case, according to the story, “A high school student’s statements to an assistant principal about giving prescription pills to other students had to be suppressed in a criminal proceeding because the student had not been given a Miranda warning.” The student was expelled after being charged with felony possession and dispensing a controlled substance. He was sentenced to jail and appealed the ruling, arguing that admitting his statements to the assistant principal “violated his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.”

Although kids selling drugs at school should never be tolerated, school administrators have to walk carefully. When kids are taken away by a principal or assistant principal and questioned with only their accusers in the room, we deny them basic rights of American citizens. I’ve heard too many cases of students who were questioned about inappropriate activity with no one present during the questioning except the student – a child after all – and the school official. Parents were never contacted until afterward. Good ruling in Kentucky. Yoga balls in the news A story back in February by the Associated Press caught my eye. The headline reads: “Yoga balls replace students’ desk chairs in the classroom.” A fifth-grade teacher in West Chester, Pennsylvania, replaced regular chairs with large, inflatable yoga balls, also known as stability balls, for students to sit on. The teacher said the change has raised productivity, increased focus and improved balance and core strength. “By making the sitter work to stay balanced, the balls force muscle engagement and increased blood flow, leading to more alertness,” the story reads. The user has to work to stay balanced, and researchers say there is a link between physical activity and better learning. Standing desks are also being piloted in some schools, as a way to give kids the chance to “fidget without disrupting class.” Reading this story, I was reminded of our own local yoga controversy in the Encinitas Union School District, where yoga classes to help students with balance and relaxation was challenged and called religious indoctrination. The lawsuit resulted in a verdict in favor of the school district, but not after a boatload of money – taxpayer money – was spent to defend against this silliness. I’m wondering if yoga balls as substitute seats would be considered by some to be religious indoctrination. Hopefully, no one in Pennsylvania has heard about the Encinitas case.

AP classes don’t pass the test A story in January in Education Week states that Dartmouth College will no longer give credit for Advanced Placement classes, “after faculty members voiced concern that the high school courses aren’t as rigorous as what the college offers.” Anyone who’s gone to college after taking an AP class in high school knows that college courses are quite different than AP classes in high school. AP in high school varies in technical difficulty depending upon the teacher, despite the requirement that the curriculum be standardized to the highest levels. AP classes, and the increasing demand (from both social and academic quarters) to take them, are a huge – and I mean HUGE – money-maker for College Board. Dollar figures are staggering, at $90-plus a test. And what does it get you, besides the status of saying you took XXX number of AP classes? High pressure, sleepless nights and a final realization when you are a senior that it really didn’t matter a whit since no colleges look at AP test scores when evaluating you for admittance. Good for Dartmouth. Let them lead the way for all colleges to refuse to accept AP credit, and see what eventually happens to the high school AP frenzy. Teacher suffers from fear of children This one I love. Here’s a story from Education Week earlier this year about a Cincinnati teacher who’s suing the school district, saying “administrators discriminated against her because she has a rare phobia: a fear of young children.” She claims young children cause her physical distress. The woman has no children of her own. Of course. Why, you may ask, did she become a teacher? She was happily teaching to teens in a high school when the K-12 district transferred her to a different post teaching younger children. According to the story, “the younger students triggered her phobia, caused her blood pressure to soar and forced her to retire.” She’s claiming the Americans

with Disabilities Act. I’m trying not to snicker. No comment necessary. The Great Wall of Del Mar I’m watching contractors build the Great Wall of Del Mar, to rival China’s, at Del Mar Heights School this summer. This is the last bastion of fence-free facilities in the Del Mar Union School District, about to come to an end. Breaking up the concrete, according to workers, took eight days instead of the expected two, because the cement was more than three times as deep as they were told. That would explain why they are now working Saturdays. It’s like they have been drilling to the center of the earth to break up the concrete. Neighbors report borderline insanity as they’ve had to shut their doors and windows in this heat to the ear-splitting noise. It’s not just the decibel levels. It’s the massive structure being erected. It looks like something that could be seen by astronauts from outer space. DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg said the cost for

Compliments to Solana Beach for plastic bag ban The City of Solana Beach has many reasons to be proud: the Cedros Design District, the world-class transportation corridor below street level (a Kiewit project), which is the envy of many neighboring communities, great restaurants, improvements to roadways and superior shopping, the Gateway property saved from development, and, not least of all, the plastic bag ban! Frequent and numerous beach clean-ups have done enormous good in raising awareness of the undeniable epidemic of plastic pollution, but they can only do so much. Reminds me of the battle against cigarette smoking fought long and hard not so long ago. Separate sections in restaurants! Would anyone be so foolish as to argue that leading the country in banning public smoking was a mistake?! The analogy to plastic pollution is perfect. The ban in place is a common sense grassroots effort and necessary next step. California tends to lead the way in such controversial issues where a powerful lobby doesn’t want to listen to the will of the people. Solana Beach has joined some 75 cities state-wide advancing plastic bag bans. I predict the next time around Sacra-Demento will follow suit. I sympathize with those who find it a hard habit to break and who struggle with any inconvenience. Relying on paper is not the object. No one is forced to purchase paper bags. Reusables are plentiful and we all have them. The merchants are saving money, the customer is doing a good thing for the earth and for their children, and the blight is being reduced. Objections about death by germs in a plastic bag are misleading propaganda spread by those who want to protect their profits. And, why would anyone spend extra time and money to drive to a neighboring community to shop when all they have to do is pack a few reusables?! The more informed we are, the easier this will be. I have been writing editorials on this subject since 1998, and I work with the scientist famous for bringing this global epidemic to the attention of the public — Captain Charles Moore. Please read his award-winning book “Plastic Ocean” and see him featured in Jeremy Irons’ new documentary film “Trashed.” If your community hasn’t scheduled a screening, make a request at the next City Council meeting or call your favorite council person. I am a member of the Algalita Marine Research Institute Board of Directors, but I am speaking as a resident of Encinitas as I write to you today. My fervent hope is that my community will finally step up and follow the lead of Solana Beach. I have been plastic-free (or darn near) for more than 10 years in my home, garden, and overall consumption habits. No inconvenience or negative consequences. “We will never recycle our way out of this mess,” Captain Moore. Celia Kiewit

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

I am retired – Protest messages in chalk By now, you have heard that the San Diego City Attorney lost his case against Mr. Olson who repeatedly protested at a bank with removable chalk messages on city sidewalks. For starters, why pick on a “poor” bank? This chalk was especially designed for use on sidewalks. Mr. Olson claimed “freedom of speech” under the exercise of his First Amendment rights. What audacity! What if City Attorney Goldsmith had won? San Diego would no longer be America’s Finest City but America’s “First Chalk-Free City.” The City Attorney could request legislation to have a citywide ban on the sale of this chalk or at least require stores to place the chalk behind the counters and lock it up with the cigarettes. More national publicity for San Diego! While walking my dog on the 4th of July, I noted numerous sidewalks and driveways decorated with bright pastel chalk drawings of fish, birds, Happy Birthday America, and symbolic hearts. Apparently, with or without adult supervision, the younger generation felt the need to “express themselves” in what the City Attorney considers a destructive manner. Also, for the record, there were many more curbs and sidewalks marked in permanent paint indicating water, sewer, electric and cable connections. I can only surmise that the City Attorney sanctioned this type of pictorial representation. What is most troubling is that this need for self-expression appears to start very early in school. Who would have thought that chalked Hop Scotch or Tic-Tack-Toe games would lead to this type of behavior? Happy 4th of July. Dennis Ridz

Malala Day July 12 Since this column is titled Education Matters, I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the world’s newest hero who knows better than any of us why education matters so much. Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teen who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating education rights for girls, spoke to the United Nations at a special youth assembly on July 12, her 16th birthday. After a long and miraculous recovery, this incredible girl was honored by the U.N. which declared July 12 “Malala Day,” a designation that, according to reports, sparked demonstrations of support worldwide. In a remarkable 18-minute address at the U.N., Malala exhibited the poise, grace and dignity of a woman thrice her age. A symbol of determination and resilience, Malala embodies the definition of true courage. As we fuss around with fences, AP

The July 27 celebration will be held from noon to 2 p.m., with speeches from City Library Director Debosquabbles, teacher tenure and yoga in the schools, Malala fights the real fight – for every child, girl and boy, to have the right to an education free of gender discrimination, harassment, intimidation and bloodshed. Good lord, certainly free of bloodshed. If you haven’t already heard her address at the U.N., search the Web for it. It’s well worth the time to hear her speak. Diminutive and unassuming, she is articulate, forceful and eloquent. Once in a lifetime, people like Malala come along. With her bravery and the power of her message, this extraordinary young woman reminds all of us why education matters. Following are some quotes from her U.N. speech. As you read, pinch yourself if you have trouble believing this is from a 16-year-old girl. And then believe it. “Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, boy and girl who has raised their voice for their rights.” “I don’t want revenge on the Taliban.

rah Barrow and District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who made a contribution toward getting the library’s exterior a fresh coat of paint. Following the speakers, the library will serve up two big birthday cakes. In addition, children can get airbrushed tattoos and information tables will be set up where people can learn more about all the library has to offer. The library’s doors opened in young Carmel Valley on July 10, 1993. The 13,050-squarefoot building was designed by Rusty Coombs and featured lively artwork inside —“hot coral, watermelon pink, lagoon blue, regal purple and dusky yellow friezes frolicking on the walls” by Philip Matzigkeit. Matzigkeit also created the mosaic tile animals on the walkways and artist Mary Buckman created the bronze courtyard sculpture. The library is expecting artist Philip Matzigkeit to pay a visit during the birthday celebration. The centrally located land cost $975,000. “It’s the most beautiful, well-designed library I’ve seen,” then-branch librarian Susan Roberts told the Carmel Valley News in 1993. “The vibes are infectious for our patrons and it’s a wonderful place to work. All of

us on staff are caught up in the enthusiasm of the volunteers from the community that have come forth to help us get ready.” There have only been four branch library managers over the 20-year life span of the library: Roberts was the founding librarian, followed by Carolyn Demoray and Vy Tu. After Tu left, because of budget shortages, the city wasn’t able to replace the position so for awhile the branch was without a manager until the current manager, Brenda Wegener, came aboard in April 2012. Wegener had been at the central library from 1995 to 2004 and spent time as a librarian in New York City before returning to San Diego. Staff members say they enjoy working at the busy Carmel Valley branch and they appreciate their dedicated patrons. “I really love the pace. There’s just so much interest in so many different programs and everyone’s excited about the library here,” Derry said. “I don’t have to worry about getting people into the library as much, they’re just here.” Wegener said that Carmel Valley is a strong family community and the demographics of their visitors reflects that — younger families, both parents and kids.

This time we will do it for ourselves.” “I raise up my voice – not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.” “One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.” — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san. rr.com.

tential homes, you’re referring to them as product,” said Councilwoman Lesa Heebner. “This is a neighbor; this is Eden Gardens, a very special place. I, frankly, am not very comfortable with the way it’s being developed. “One of the things we have to look at is future development, potential development. Is this going to be a standard for that?” Mayor Mike Nichols echoed Heebner’s concerns. “There may be some opportunities to make this a better project for all those involved and to set that precedent,” he said. The project is expected to return to the City Council on Sept. 11.

PROJECT continued from page 2 concerns.” Noting the design changes for the Hernandez family, Project Manager Joshua Lichtman said he and his team reached out to the community and listened to concerns. “We were out there, we spoke to a lot of them and we incorporated their ideas into our design,” Lichtman said. Still, council members agreed that more changes could be made to the plan to better the project and set a precedent for future projects. Proposed changes included lowering the height of the buildings, adding parking spaces and incorporating bicycle racks. “When you’re speaking about this project, these po-

GREENBELT continued from page 3 “I’d really like to get this accomplished for the people of Torrey Hills, especially the people who live next to a dust bowl of scorched earth,” said Brad Fagan, a member of the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board. The Torrey Hills Master Association hired a consultant four months ago and Fagan said they believe they can expedite the project by months if not years. The proposed greenbelt faces a row of houses and is edged by the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. Torrey Hills was very limited about what could go into

“At 3:02 p.m. the school kids pour in,” Wegener said of the large numbers of youngsters who frequent the library after school, “We have a lot of teenagers using the library, which is somewhat unusual. They’re always in here doing homework or mentoring younger children in the chess and science engineering club or in the arts and crafts program.” The teens have their own closed-in patio where they like to hang out; children have their own big section with a cozy reading nook; and many people take advantage of the “quiet area” of the library that offers free wireless and has shelves fully stocked with the latest periodicals. Just inside the library’s entrance, the Friends of the Library’s Friendly Finds book store also sells donated used books to raise money to support the library’s various programs. They have a quarterly book sale in the community room where patrons can find great deals — a bag of books will go for $2. Since 1993, the library has become much more high tech. Back then, when the library opened it was touting its “new Macintosh computers and audio-cassettes, video tapes and laser disks.” The library has a full collection of DVDs that peo-

ple can rent for free; a selfcheckout machine where people can check out materials without the assistance of library staff; and they are also one of the few city libraries to offer rentals of e-readers, downloadable ebooks and audio books. A patron can download an e-book or audio book to their device for three weeks — they don’t even have to come to the library to check it out or return the rental, it just shows up on their device once they rent it and it is taken off their device after 21 days. Even with advances in technology, the Carmel Valley Library’s circulation is proof that people still enjoy holding a book in their hands. The library has a 40book check-out maximum per card and Wegener said so many parents were coming in to load up on the 40book maximum for their kids that the library had to buy baskets to hold books while people browsed. “It’s a great library,” Wegener said. “It’s so nice to work in a library where people love books and love to read and are happy about being here.” The library is located at 3919 Townsgate Drive, 92130 (Carmel Valley).

the property, as space has to be reserved for SDG&E and part of the land is considered environmentally sensitive and protected by the city’s Multi-Habitat Planning Area (MHPA). The open space will be refreshed with native plants, stacked native boulders and a decomposed granite trail will wind through the property and link users to canyon trails across the street. In one area that is out of the MHPA, a trellis area is planned where people can sit and look out over the canyon. Maintenance of the property will be handled by the Torrey Hills Maintenance Assessment District (MAD), which residents pay into to be able to receive special benefits above what the city provides. As the Torrey Hills Master Association owns the land, it would likely have to enter into a park development agreement, reimbursement agreement or some form of contract with the city to allow it to regain the lead and to access private donations the city holds for the project. According to its letters, the association is prepared to enter such a contract with the city. “We all feel this path is much better for everyone and we hope to shake off a year, maybe two,” Fagan said. “We wish (council president) Lightner was as passionate about this project as we are… I really think with her support we can make this thing work.” Mo Kantner, a representative for Lightner, said

she understood the board’s frustration but was unsure whether taking the project back to the city would in fact expedite the process. She said, according to city staff, it could take less than 24 months to get the project done if it continues moving on its current path. If the planning board takes over it could take about 18 months. The “if” in the city’s timeline is no longer acceptable to the board, Fagan said. “If we take it back we’ll have the momentum and we’ll have the people to push this through,” Fagan said. “We want to take it back as a private project and be in control. It’s just to get it done. No offense to anybody but we just want to get it done.”

Father completes cross-country bike trek in support of daughter’s nonprofit 71-year-old Peter Karch perseveres through extreme temperatures, dehydration, hunger, cramping BY KAREN BILLING It took him 65 days to ride 3,446 miles across country with more than 90 pounds of supplies loaded onto his bike, but 71-yearold Peter Karch completed his solo, unassisted journey from Carpinteria, Calif., to Assateague, Va., on July 9. Karch took on the long mileage (pedaling amazingly in just Teva sandals) to raise awareness and funds for his daughter Laura Karch-Gries’ non-profit Awakenings Health Institute in Solana Beach. He endured temperatures ranging from 20-114 degrees, 15 flat tires, dehydration, food deprivation and severe cramping. “It is the most difficult thing I have ever done,” Karch said. Despite all of the trek’s hardships, he said there are “very nice and helpful people in the world,” many of whom helped him along the way and offered support for his cause. A Del Mar resident, Laura Karch-Gries, 36, was paralyzed from the neck down as the result of a car accident at age 18 and learned to walk again. She founded Awakenings as a rehabilitation facility to restore the lives and health of people challenged by paralysis. The facility treats people who have suffered from strokes, spinal cord and brain injuries, and neurological disorders through a variety of physical, emotional, mental, recreational and social therapies — all under one roof. Clients apply for grants and sponsorships to go through therapies at Awakenings so the organization relies heavily on donors and community support. Karch’s ride so far has netted $7,200 and the numbers are growing. The long journey gifted Karch with an interesting perspective to share. “[Everyone should experience doing one thing in their life], such as backpacking, hiking or riding a bicycle...something where they have to carry all their needs on their back. You have to carry water, food, and only your bare necessities because that’s all the room

This is important because you understand what is necessary for your survival and what is superfluous. Then you understand the difference between greed and need,” Karch said on the night before his last day of riding. “We truly don’t need all the things we have and think we need. There are many people in this world who don’t have much. It’s important to really understand this firsthand.” Karch-Gries, who traveled to Virginia to meet her dad at the conclusion of his journey, couldn’t be prouder of him, nor happier that he is home safe. She called him the “greatest dad in the world.” To learn more or donate, visit awakeningshealth.org.

San Diego Jewish Academy football standouts thrive in unexpected roles BY GIDEON RUBIN Jake Posnock and Adam Sloane went into their junior seasons at San Diego Jewish Academy with what they figured to be clearly defined roles. The athletic and powerful Posnock was expected to be an impact player on both sides of the ball. Sloane was expected to be a key target for Micah Weinstein, the school’s all-time passing leader. Injuries turned those plans on their heads. Posnock could no longer suit up after a shoulder injury he suffered playing baseball flared up. Sloane was diagnosed with a stress fracture on his ankle that limited his mobility. Both players refused to shrink from commitments to their teammates though, doing whatever they could to contribute. Posnock didn’t play a down all year, but showed up for every game and every practice. “He went to every game and every practice and he was still the heart and soul of that team,” SDJA coach Joseph Gurfinkiel said. Sloane went from running deep routes to toughing it out in the trenches, playing offensive line positions skilled position players are rarely willing or able to even consider. “You have to be there for your team,” Posnock said, summing up why he and Sloane remained invested in the team despite their setbacks. “You made a commitment when you signed that contract at the beginning off the year.” Both players honored that contract through circumstances that weren’t easy for anybody, as the Lions continued to experience growing pains transitioning from 8-man football to the 11-man game in the tough Pacific League. SDJA went 0-7 last year. “We had a tough year last year but we had to keep working and trying to get better to finish the season strong and prepare for next year,” Sloane said. “We were trying to lead with our actions. I think we set a good precedent.” Posnock and Sloane, who’ll be seniors this fall, return healthy, and with the respect of their teammates who witnessed their unselfishness. Both are tremendous talents who could have the opportunity to play at four-year schools, Gurfinkiel said.

Adam Sloane (left) and Jake Posnock. Photo courtesy of San Diego Jewish Academy Posnock, a 6-foot-1 200-pounder, is among the best athletes Gurfinkiel has seen at the school. He’s impressed the team’s new offensive coordinator, Stephen Peccolla, who comes to SDJA from Westview. Gurfinkiel said Peccolla told him that Posnock “might be the only (SDJA) guy who could start at Westview.” Sloane made a seamless transition to playing on the team’s offensive line. He eventually played left guard, blocking the quarterback’s blind side – an especially important role on an SDJA team that runs a pass-oriented spread offense. “When we put him on the offensive line we thought he’d have a tough time but he just came in and started dom-

inating right away,” Gurfinkiel said. Sloane downplayed the transition, noting that as a wide receiver and tight end he had blocking assignments, and that at 6-3 and weighing 225 pounds, he’s among the biggest players in the small-school Division V. “I actually enjoyed playing the offensive line position,” Sloane said. “Every snap you’re doing something. As a receiver you’re running a rout, but on the offensive line you’re involved in every play, whether it’s protecting the quarterback or opening up a hole for the running back. “I like to think I’m pretty versatile so I was able to adapt pretty well.” He adapted well enough to make the league’s all-league team as an honorable mention at offensive line. Gurfinkiel noted that Sloane’s size, strength and speed figure to create matchup problems for opponents. “He’s a guy that every team is going to have to be aware of,” he said. “Other teams are going to have to make plans to account for him wherever he lines up.” Both players over the summer lined up at a Boston College summer camp, where they got to compete against aspiring college players from across the country – including some players considered Division I prospects. Posnock and Sloane project to play Division III or Ivy League ball, Gurfinkiel said, noting both have 4.4 GPAs. “I’ve been playing football for four years now and I want to take it as far as I can go,” Sloane said. “I think it would be a great accomplishment for me to play at a fouryear school, but, most importantly, it’s a passion of mine and it’s something that I want to continue.” Posnock, who’s been playing seven years, is a Division I long shot, Gurfinkiel said. “Football is so much a part of my identity now,” Posnock said. “I think going to a Jewish school and being able to say that you’re on one of three Jewish football teams in the world outside of Israel is pretty cool.” Posnock said he’s embraced his ambassadorship role. “I feel that I’m a lot of people’s first contact with Judaism and I think that’s a cool thing to be able to say.”

ing Communities program while maintaining her faculty role in the Department of Political Science and International Relations. Norton also served as department chair and USD Honors Program director from 2001-2008. Norton’s husband, Erwin Willis, served as chief of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) for 12 years from 1993 until his retirement in 2005. The couple has lived in Solana Beach for 20 years. Willis now owns a computer networking business that contracts with RSFFPD and supports other nonprofit organizations. “I am thrilled at the opportunity to be dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,” said Norton. “I’ve been committed to the success of the College for my entire academic career and look forward to this exciting and transformative period. I am happy that I get to be part of it.” She earned her Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara and her B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles. Norton succeeds Mary K. Boyd, Ph.D., who left USD this month to become vice president for academic affairs at St. Edward’s University in Texas. “Noelle has proven her ability to lead, inspire and collaborate with the USD community,” said Boyd. “I am confident that she is going to be a wonderful advocate and steward for the College of Arts and Sciences.” Norton has taught classes on American, legislative, urban, and gender politics. Her most recent publications have been on welfare policy, the White House Office of the President, and the institutional position of women legislators. In addition to teaching and research, Norton is known on campus as being a mentor to her students. A recent graduate from the Department of Political Science and International Relations, Sophia Carrillo, shared, “Dr. Norton was a fantastic mentor during my time at USD and an inspiration for many students across campus. I am confident her energy and passion will elevate the College of Arts and Sciences and benefit USD immensely.”

Del Mar Foundation donates beach wheelchairs for Naval Medical Center San Diego Surf Camp BY KRISTINA HOUCK Christopher Montera learned how to surf when he was just 12 years old. After bilateral, above-the-knee amputations forced him to use a wheelchair, the soldier didn’t think he would ever be able to surf again. Now, the San Diego native catches waves every Thursday in Del Mar. “I surfed before I got hurt,” said Montera, 33. “When I heard about the Surf Clinic, I jumped at the opportunity to go.” Roughly 70 injured active-duty military and veterans and their family members visit Del Mar each week for a therapeutic surf clinic managed by Naval Medical Center San Diego. Volunteers help the injured servicemen and -women, several amputees like Montera, into their gear and into the water. “I’m pretty much, right now, living in a chair,” said Montera, who was hit by an explosive device while serving in Afghanistan in March 2012. “In the water, it takes the weight off my spine. Surfing also let’s me let go of all the worries back on land. You get to just focus on one thing and do that, which is really nice.” Betty Michalewicz-Kragh, an exercise physiologist in the health and well-

Through surfing, many times, they do.” Michalewicz-Kragh said the program

They make the wounded warriors feel very welcome.” In addition to the lifeguards, the program has received support from nonprofits such as the Del Mar Foundation, which recently purchased two self-propelled, state-of-the-art sand wheelchairs in June, which were dedicated during a ceremony on July 11 at Del Mar’s Beach Safety Center. “These people have given their life to protecting us and giving us our freedom,” said Robin Crabtree, chairwoman of the Foundation’s Grants Committee. “It’s the least we can do.” Pat Vergne, the city’s director of community services and chief lifeguard, approached the organization about purchasing two sand wheelchairs for the program about two months ago.

Del Mar artist to be featured at local gallery in August

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK For years, Del Mar artist Juliette Milner kept her work to herself. In August, the 44-yearold will unveil “Gathering Momentum…” a collection of dance paintings at the Mandell Weiss Gallery at Liberty Station. “It’s quite a new thing for me to actually come out and show my work,” said Milner, who first publicly shared her paintings in March at Basic in San Diego. “I still go into complete panic mode wondering whether it’s a compete disaster or not. People seem to like the work, so I guess I should be reassured, but I think artists never are.” Born in London, Milner was raised in an artistic family. Her father was an actor before going into law. Her mother was an actress and dancer who performed alongside bands such as the Beatles. Although she never had formal training, at 4 years old, Milner learned to draw from her grandfather, a jazz musician and art enthusiast. Despite her passion for

Del Mar artist Juliette Milner with daughter Renza Milner. COURTESY PHOTOS art, Milner graduated from the Architectural Association in London and became an architect. She has worked on projects ranging from urban planning to award-winning performing arts buildings. Milner moved to the U.S. to teach architecture in Los Angeles. Most recently, she taught at Woodbury University School of Architecture in San Diego. “I think at heart, I’ve always been more of an artist than an architect and

a teacher, but it’s a risk to try and do it,” said Milner, who has lived in Del Mar since 2000. With the support of her husband and four children, Milner decided to focus on art full-time about three years ago. The death of her mother last year also influenced Milner to begin taking dance lessons, which inspired her paintings. “I think that gives you a sense that you have to be true to yourself,” said Mil-

ner, who also lost her father when she was young. “They were both in theater, film and dance, and dance was also a way to connect back to them somehow. I started to dance more and it became a huge passion for me. I wanted to paint it somehow.” From contemporary to hip-hop, Milner continues to learn a variety of dance styles. “I’m not a fantastic dancer, but I love doing it and I put my heart into it,” said Milner, who took ballet and tap lessons as a child. “I find when I’m painting, I’m painting somewhere between the felt experience — when I dance myself or the memory of something I’ve seen or watched — and a fantasy world of my own where I kind of lose myself.” Inspired by the movement of the human body, Milner paints dancers and sometimes surfers. “I try to capture that rush when you’re up against gravity and you feel like you’re going to fall but then you don’t. Something stops you and you fly,” Mil-

A dance painting by Juliette Milner. ner said. “That’s the kind of exhilaration that I try to capture — those dynamic moments in life.” Sprawled on the floor and often with paint in her hair, Milner paints with acrylic oils. Sometimes, she later digitally alters her pieces. “There’s this kind of random chance element to it, which I like,” she said. “I never quite know how it’s going to turn out. It’s very experimental.” In addition to her art, Milner’s art show opening will feature live dance performances by the San

Diego Dance Theater. A portion of sales proceeds will benefit the San Diego Dance Theater. “You feel really alive when you dance. When you lose yourself in music and rhythm, there’s nothing like it,” Milner said. “The chance to be able to help and support choreographers at the San Diego Dance Theater is wonderful. They’re really incredible. Their work is stunning.” The free event will take place 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 at the Mandell Weiss Gallery located at 2650 Truxtun Road in San Diego.

CCA Foundation’s Carmel Valley Farmer’s Market presents Music and Movies •Sc ott Roberts Jazz Band and Disney’s “Ratatouille” will be featured on July 25. Free soccer coaching offered July 18. In conjunction with its weekly Carmel Valley Farmer’s Market, Canyon Crest Academy Foundation (CCAF) will host Music and Movies at the market this summer. On July 18, in addition to numerous food trucks, there will be free soccer coaching for preschool-through4th-grade students. The featured musician for the evening is guitarist and singer Joef Fargier. Joef has traveled around the world and collaborated with many other professional musicians such as Lucio Dalla (Luna Matana) (BMG), Patchai Reyes (Gipsy Kings), and Gabin “Une Histoire D’Amour.” Joef will be playing the guitar and singing at the Market beginning at around 5 p.m., along with a Flamenco Dancer! On July 25, musician Scott Roberts and his jazz band will perform at 4:30 p.m., followed by a free showing of Disney’s “Ratatouille” at dusk. CCA’s own Emily Laliotis will return later in the summer and there will be another movie on Aug. 15. Shoppers are encouraged to visit the market manager’s tent on Thursday to vote for their favorite movie for the Aug. 15 show. The Carmel Valley Farmer’s Market, a source of farm fresh produce and a local community gathering place filled with music and family-friendly fun, will continue to be held throughout the summer on Thursdays beginning at 3:30 p.m. to sunset. “We have been encouraged by the outpouring of community support for the Carmel Valley Farmer’s Market and are excited to expand the event to include Family Movie Nights this summer. The venue provides the community access to local vendors and entertainment, while at the same time supporting Canyon Crest Academy because every purchase helps every student,” says CCAF Executive Director Joanne Couvrette. The community is invited to attend and encouraged to bring chairs and blankets to enjoy the outdoor movie. The Farmer’s Market is located in the parking lot of Canyon Crest Academy at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, 92130. Couvrette encourages local residents to attend, saying, “This is the ultimate win-win, the community has a neighborhood market filled with wonderful, healthy food choices, the students have a public space performance opportunity every week, and the proceeds benefit the school.” Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision arts program includes an after school conservatory including theater, vocal and instrumental music, visual arts, humanities, dance and cinema. The award-winning program is funded by the CCA Foundation, along with athletics, academics, technology and many other school programs. Canyon Crest Academy is part

CCA was also named by Newsweek magazine as one of the top high schools in the United States. Surprisingly, though, of the 20 high school districts in California of comparable size (over 10,000 students) San Dieguito Union High School District’s funding per student is in the bottom 25 percent, at 17th out of those 20 high school districts. In fact, our funding of $8,247 per student is well below the average of $9,499 per student for all high school districts in the state (data from ed-data.k12.ca.us). The CCA Foundation bridges this funding gap through parent and corporate donations and proceeds from the Carmel Valley Farmer’s Market. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a parent-led 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. Your tax-deductible donation to the CCA Foundation is vitally needed to continue our support of these programs. You can donate online at www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.

Del Mar resident at forefront of burgeoning stand-up paddleboard scene BY ROB LEDONNE Throughout her entire life, Del Mar resident Kathryn McCann has been as active as possible. Growing up in the northeast, she practiced ballet; later, she delved into the world of yoga and is currently an instructor at Sculpt Fusion on Carmel Mountain Road. In addition, she’s also an avid fan and promoter of stand-up paddleboarding (or SUP). As a result, last month a prominent Florida-based SUP brand, YOLO Boards, signed McCann to the company as a team rider, making her a national face and ambassador of the sport. “I’m basically just spreading my love and knowledge for stand-up paddling,” said McCann of her newly anointed title. “It’s an amazing form of exercise. I also love YOLO’s philosophy of ‘You Only Live Once.’ I’m always reading quotes to my students in yoga classes with that idea, so I’m very excited about all of it.” While not as popular as other water sports like surfing yet, stand-up paddleboarding is quickly gaining momentum among people,

Kathryn McCann young and old, as a viable and safe form of exercise and activity while in the ocean. The sport, which only requires a paddleboard and paddle, has roots going back to the 1960s in Hawaii,

which, coincidentally, was where McCann first learned to paddleboard herself. McCann found herself there after transitioning from ballet to, of all professions, dolphin trainer.

“At the time, I was training dolphins at Dolphin Quest on Oahu and first went out on a paddleboard in the back rivers there. I was instantly hooked.” After the recession and

weak Hawaiian tourism at the time, McCann moved to San Diego to work at SeaWorld — and brought with her a passion for stand-up paddleboarding, spreading it to a whole new audience in Southern Californian through teaching yoga. “When I got to California, I started combining yoga on paddleboard and got more serious about paddling,” she explained. McCann’s timing couldn’t have been better; around the same time companies like YOLO started popping up, and races were being established, the first ever of which only occurred in Lake Tahoe in August of 2007. Part of the reason for the sport’s newly-found popularity is, according to McCann, it’s “accessible to anybody. If you’re good at just standing on the board, you don’t necessarily even have to get into the water. With surfing you’re dealing with waves, but stand-up paddleboarding is much calmer. The standup paddling I do is mainly in bays and marinas. With a flat water surface, it allows people to grasp the sport more

easily and it gives you such a feeling of accomplishment later. It brings people together in terms of friendships and families; I’ve even seen people come to stand-up paddleboarding classes with a date.” Because of her passion and expertise, it only makes sense that McCann linked up with YOLO, a relationship that began after meeting YOLO’s president, Jeff Archer, at a recent competition. The two clicked, and after McCann visited the company’s headquarters in Florida, they agreed to collaborate. “I’m just happy to spread my knowledge; I’ve been working with a lot of men and women who are fearful of the water. It’s all about taking people out of their comfort zones,” which is something McCann has obviously done herself. “It’s interesting that my path went from ballet to dolphins to yoga to paddleboarding,” she muses. “Once you master something on the mat with yoga, it’s nice to translate that onto the boards.” For more about McCann and her mission, visit www.KathrynMcCann.Net

Local resident revives forgotten musical era with album ‘The Beautiful Old’ earns rave reviews, international attention BY ROB LEDONNE Turn on any radio and it will be easy to find a station playing music from virtually any era, whether it’s pop from the 1980s, disco from the 1970s, or even doo wop from the 1950s. However, one era that remains completely non-existent for today’s listeners — whether it’s radio or actual recordings — is one that was thriving just over 100 years ago, around the end of the 19th century. It’s an era before the dawn of audio recording when the only way to hear the popular songs of the day was to buy sheet music. As the years have gone by and the roots of pop, jazz, and rock took hold, this era was largely forgotten until Paul Marsteller, a native of Washington state and current North County resident, took an interest. Marsteller is a retired real estate agent who in the past decade has dabbled in the music industry, specializing in songwriting and executive producing a variety of albums. During Paul Marsteller research for one of his songwriting projects, he was looking for an already-written song from the turn of the century. “I went digging around and realized that there weren’t many recordings of songs from that era around today. There’s this pocket of music, before country, blues, jazz, and folk, which was extremely popular during that time. These songs sold millions of copies of sheet music, but little to no recordings exist.” As a result, Marsteller said “a light bulb went off,” and he had a novel idea. “I thought I could put together an album with a variety of musicians covering these neglected tracks, recording them the way they were originally written back then.” That album, released in June and called “The Beautiful Old,” features 19 songs recorded by some of today’s hottest folk, rock and Americana acts, and has been a labor of love for Marsteller for the past few years, starting with Marsteller contacting artists through social media. “I first went through and found songs that were unrecorded and might sound good to modern ears, most of which are sentimental tales and story songs. I basically started writing anybody I thought I’d want on the album, linking up these tracks with artists who would be a good fit with them.” One by one, Marsteller received a variety of enthusiastic replies and wound up with a roster filled with the likes of Garth Hudson of The Band, Dave Davies of The Kinks, Graham Parker, and many more. “We recorded everything in a very faithful way,” explained Marsteller, who traveled back and forth to a studio in Austin, Texas during the process. “We even used period instruments that were well over 100 years old.” The final product has been garnering rave reviews and international attention, including from national magazines such as Paste. Even CBS News recently contacted Marsteller for a story about the album. European music critics have fallen in love with it as well, many writing rave reviews. “Everybody seems to like the execution of it,” Marsteller said. “Previous decades have been done to death, so fans share the idea that it’s nice to discover what’s been forgotten. These songs precede everyone who is currently alive.” “The Beautiful Old” is available on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. For more information, visit www.thebeautifulold.com.

San Diego Musical Theatre’s ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ The Fats Waller Musical Show’ to run Sept. 27-Oct. 13 San Diego Musical Theatre will present “Ain’t Misbehavin’ The Fats Waller Musical Show” at the Birch North Park Theatre Sept. 27-Oct. 13. The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s best. The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing. Although not quite a biography, Ain’t Misbehavin’ evokes “the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Assembled under the expert eye of director/lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr., Ain’t Misbehavin’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time.” For individual or group tickets contact the Administrative Office at 858-560-5740 or visit SDMT online at www.sdmt.org.

Dr. Seuss’ cap collection tops Legends Gallery’s new show BY DAVID L. CODDON Hang on to your hats, Dr. Seuss fans. Here’s something you may not have known about your favorite children’s book author and illustrator: He collected hats. Lots and lots of hats. You’ll have a chance to see 26 of them when a touring exhibition titled “Hats Off to Dr. Seuss!” opens July 19 at the Legends Gallery of La Jolla. Also on display through Aug. 4 will be limited-edition prints of images from some of the best-known Seuss books as well as examples from his “Secret Art” series of paintings, drawings and sculpture. (The exhibition will move to the Chuck Jones Gallery in downtown San Diego for an Aug. 9-25 run.) Bill Dreyer is curator of “The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss” collection, which includes original artworks by Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) that are unknown to many if not most Seuss devotees. The fact is, said Dreyer, “He (Geisel) enjoyed painting more than anything. He worked hard at his children’s books, but painting was his love. If his work in children’s literature

Left: the hat closet. Above: the late Theodor Geisel was the heart of the man, his artwork was his soul.” As for the hats collection, Dreyer recalled how he personally made the discovery. “I was at the Dr. Seuss Estate researching his artwork and Mrs. (Audrey) Geisel asked me ‘Would you like to see the hat closet?’ She opens up this door to this hidden room and in that room on both sides of the wall are hanging literally hundreds of

hats that he’d begun collecting in the 1920s.” Dreyer recounted that at dinner parties, Ted Geisel would go into the hat closet, gather hats and ask everyone in attendance to wear one and assume the personality that the hat inspired. “That,” Dreyer said, “would always liven up a party.” This year marks the 75th anniversary of the release of the second Dr. Seuss book

(the first was “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street”), “The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.” “We thought this was the perfect time to bring out this hidden hat collection and tie it to his artworks,” explained Dreyer, “which are inspired in many cases by the specific hats in his collection or by hats he owned himself.” The Theodor Geisel hats

reflect world history as well as his own. “You see in his collection that he brings hats from Central America, South America, Europe,” said Dreyer. “You’ll see Peruvian hats and hats from his time in World War II. There’s a Nazi field marshal’s hat, an Italian Fascist fez. There’s a Baroque helmet that looks like it’s seen action. “There’s also a Dickens top hat and of course wacky, wonderfully Seussian hats that are filled with feathers and colors.” As for the iconic “Cat in the Hat” hat, one will be on display. “That hat I believe did not precede the book (which was published in 1957),” said Dreyer. “Somebody probably fashioned the hat and gave it to him as a gift.” Dreyer will discuss the hats and the life of Dr. Seuss, 7 p.m. Saturday, July 20 at the Legends Gallery. As for the exhibition itself, “It’s a way to learn something about an American icon that you thought you knew everything about,” Dreyer said, “and a way to take a nostalgic walk through your childhood.”

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the release of the second Dr. Seuss book, ‘The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.’

Knorr Candles burn bright in Del Mar for 85 years BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Knorr family has made handcrafted beeswax candles in Del Mar for three generations. Ferdinand Knorr founded the candle-making operation in 1928. He purchased the 20-acre farm where he built his business and home for $1,800, said Henry Knorr, Ferdinand’s son. A machinist and beekeeping hobbyist, Ferdinand invented a beeswax honeycomb to cut costs and increase the production of honey. The honeycombs he created eventually led to the production of beeswax candles. “He had more wax than he could use for honeycomb sheets,” said Henry, who has lived on the property for 87 years. “He thought if he made a candle, that would burn it up. So he started experimenting with making candles.” The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and local gift shops began purchasing the candles, Henry said. The beeswax candles did not drip or smoke and lasted much longer than paraffin-based candles. In the 1950s, Henry purchased the business, which he ran with his wife Judy. In his first year, he produced 50,000 pounds of beeswax at 25 cents per pound. The business produced more than 300,000 pounds of beeswax per year by the early 1990s, when his son took over the company. Although his son, Steve Knorr, now owns the business, former owner Henry continues to be hands-on. The 92-year-old maintains the machines he built in the factory more than 50 years ago. “Anytime a machine is broken, Henry is the first person we call,” said Office Manager Susan Prickett as she smiled at Henry. “We still need you. We need you to fix the machines.” Today the factory produces about 100,000 pounds of wax at $4.50 per pound per year. The 100 percent beeswax candles, which are available in more than 30 colors and a variety of designs, have lit the homes of local residents and celebrities such as Bob Hope and the Kardashians. Beginning in the Truman Administration, Knorr Beeswax Candles also burned at the White House, a tradition that continued through the Clinton administration.

COURTESY PHOTO “You’ll never find candles that are anything like ours,” said Prickett, who has worked at the company for 15 years. “They’re the best candles in the world.” Business hasn’t always been easy, however. A fire destroyed much of the factory on a summer day in the early 1980s. The factory was rebuilt and the family was back in business by the fall, Henry said. More recently, the company struggled when gift shops that sold Knorr candles closed because of the recession. “Their business went down because people just weren’t buying gifts anymore,” Prickett said. “We lost a lot of business that way. But for some reason, we’ve managed to make it through every year. “It’s not an easy business; it’s not a business that you make a lot of money in. It’s more a heart and soul thing. It’s just part of our lives.” In addition to offering high-quality products, Henry and Prickett said the family-run business has been around for 85 years because it operates in a family environment. Some of the roughly dozen employees have worked alongside the Knorr family for 30 years. “Everything is handmade here, and they’re handmade by the same people who have always made them,” Prickett said. “We take a lot of care and pride in what we make.” “It amazes me that everybody is just like family,” Henry added. “I like it that way.” The Knorr Candle Factory and Artisan Marketplace are located at 14906 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, 92014; 760-4312007.

that she will grow up with.” Shannon and Brett Alderman describe the playgroup as “a great opportunity for our son to interact with other kids his age — and a chance for the parents to connect and share parenting experiences.” Playgroups are open to families living within the 92014 zip code.

Del Mar Foundation Summer Twilight Concert features Mrs. Robinson forward to the next one, mark your BY JOHN R. SAENZ On Tuesday, July 9, a spectacular sunset provided a perfect background for the Del Mar Foundation Summer Twilight Concert. The second of four summer concerts had people from all ages pack the Powerhouse Park as everyone sang and danced to the popular music from L.A. band Mrs. Robinson. Robin Henkel, a San Diego jazz and blues musician, with Billy Watson on harmonica, kicked off the evening as the opening act. Chris Fowler, 37, from Cardiff, who attended the summer concert with his family said, “It’s amazing that the Del Mar Foundation has these summer concerts.” While holding his 2-year-old

son Lyndon on his shoulders, he added, “We have been coming to these summer concerts for years and always have a great time.” The great time everyone was having is made possible through the help of many volunteers and with generous donations from the County of San Diego and nearby businesses, including the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Marrokal Design and Remodeling, Jake’s Del Mar, Lutz Insurance Services, Poseidon, Pacifica Del Mar, Zel’s Del Mar and Jeff Miller. At the July 9 concert the Del Mar Junior Lifeguards

Maya and Jerrod

walked through the crowded park selling raffle tickets eligible for gift certificates from local restaurants. This is one of the many ways the Del Mar Foundation raises funds for the concert series. “We were at the last concert and make every effort to attend all the concerts,” said Bob Papera, 70, from Carmel Valley. Papera and his wife have been going to the summer concerts for years and said they especially enjoy the weather, music, food and the fun time everyone is having.

TixAlert helps drivers avoid parking tickets TixAlert is a mobile application dedicated to helping users avoid parking tickets. TixAlert was founded in 2012 in San Diego where over 100 parking tickets are written daily for drivers who are often unaware of the regulations they are breaking. TixAlert founders saw the potential to facilitate this situation for both the drivers being cited and the community leaders responsible for enforcing regulations. Research and

development quickly followed, leading to a comprehensive database of parking regulations throughout the nation being compiled and indexed. TixAlert, costing $2.99 annually, remains the only application currently on the market with such a database. Features: Parking alerts; Voice alerts when parking in street sweeping zones; Ability to see street sweeping zones/ times/dates; Reference parking regulations for different

zones; GPS Car Locator; Drop a GPS mark at location of vehicle; Easily find the quickest route back to vehicle; Parking Meter Timer; Set meter timer and car location; Always know exactly how much time is remaining; Voice alert reminds user when to head back to car to feed the meter.

CORE40 opens in Carmel Valley Due to overwhelming demand for Solana Beachbased CORE40 (formerly called BodyROK), owners Dean and Lisa Grafos recently announced their newest studio to open in Carmel Valley. Recently named the top workout in North County by San Diego Magazine, this innovative, 40-minute workout is designed to produce immediate core and total body strengthening through its unique Megaformer-based approach, according to Grafos. “By doing our strengthening and indoor cycling workouts in conjunction with eating and drinking in moderation, our clients will quickly be able to sculpt their way to feeling more confident in their swimsuits on the beach,” explained Grafos. “CORE40 also works to enhance performance levels of other activities, including running, yoga and golf because it improves strength, endurance, cardio, flexibility and balance.”

In addition to the 40-minute CORE40 classes, the new studio offers indoor cycling as well as combo classes, which incorporate 25 minutes of high-intensity cardio cycling, followed by 25 minutes of sculpting on the revolutionary Megaformer “M3.” This class allows clients to achieve optimum results because of the cardio/strengthening combination. CORE40’s signature offering, Lagree Fitness is an innovative 40-minute workout specifically designed to strengthen, tighten and tone the body quickly and safely. The workout is largely based on the holistic principles of Pilates, but also emphasizes strength training and cardio elements not inherent to Pilates and/or weight training alone. The new studio is located at 12750 Carmel Country Road, on the second floor of the Carmel Country Plaza. For more information on the workout or to sign up for classes, visit www.core40.com or call 858-755-4779. Other studios are located in Solana Beach, North Park and Little Italy. Clients can use their packages at any of CORE40’s locations.

San Diego Jewish Academy students volunteer for relief efforts in Oklahoma San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) students and staff recently traveled to the tornadodevastated community of Moore, Oklahoma to do volunteer work. “Several students came to me asking what they could do to make a real and meaningful difference,” said Alan Rusonik, SDJA’s director of Judaic Studies. “The practice of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) is very much an integral part of the school’s identity. Students learn that each individual working to do something good can lead to a community collectively making a difference in the world in which we live.” Nine students (one 9th grader, five 10th graders and three seniors), a staff member, and Rusonik volunteered to travel to Moore for close to a week of relief work. Photos above show the SDJA volunteers in Moore and some of the areas impacted by the tornado. Visit www.sdja.com.

Watermelon time! Get ‘em while they’re ripe and juicy! The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Picture Frida Kahlo’s still-life oil painting, “Viva la Vida,” (which translates from Spanish into “live the life”), a table bursting with an array of succulent pink watermelons with glossy black seeds and glistening emerald rinds. One wants to reach in, grab a chunk and gorge on the mouth-watering flesh. This time of year, watermelons are piled sky-high on roadside stands, at farmers markets and in supermarket produce aisles, so here’s a primer on how to get the best out of this quintessential summer treat. Looking back Watermelons have been cooling palates since prehistoric times, although they were first harvested in Egypt roughly 5,000 years ago. Pharaohs’ tombs were filled with the melons, so the deceased would be kept hydrated in the afterlife, while early explorers carted them around as canteens for their water supply. It’s hard to believe that such a succulent food is actually a vegetable, not a fruit. Watermelon is a vine-growing gourd, a close sibling to the cucumber and pumpkin, and belongs to the botanical family Curcurbitaceae. Even though these melons contain 92 percent water, they are packed with a mother load of nutrients including immuneboosting Vitamins C and A, stress-busting B1 and B6, potassium, magnesium, copper and fiber, and the richest source of lycopene, (redfleshed) even surpassing the mighty tomato as prostate’s best buddy. This low cal, cholesterolfree food is also anti-inflammatory, easing creaky arthritic joints. Also, its high water content makes it a good food for weight loss and maintaining healthy weight. Every morsel of the luscious vegetable is useable and edible — even the rind, which can be pickled with lemon, honey and ginger for a scrumptious confection — and the seeds, which, like pumpkin seeds, can be roasted and seasoned for munching. How to Pick a Winner Whether you choose pink, orange, white or yellow-fleshed watermelons,

seedless or seedy, large oblong picnic variety (15- to 50-pounders), or more manageable personal or icebox melons (3- to 15- pounders), here are some tips for picking a juicy, ripe one bursting with flavor: • Look for firm, bright skin, free of cuts and soft spots, along with symmetry without distorted ends. A yellow belly spot indicates it ripened in the sun and wasn’t picked prematurely. • Lift the melon for good heft. • Tap on the melon with the heel of your hand. If it resonates like a drum, it’s ripe and ready. A Slice of Life • The largest watermelon on record, a behemoth weighing in at 279 pounds, was grown in North Carolina. • There are some 1,200 varieties of watermelons. • A seedless watermelon was created in 1939 when horticulturalists treated the unpollinated flowers with a particular acid. • Japanese farmers have created a cube-shaped watermelon by placing in a square-tempered glass box while it is still growing on the vine. The shape and dimensions fit ideally in Japanese refrigerators, where space is a premium. Serve it up This summer go a little wacky with watermelons, whipping up refreshing summer sips (minty watermelon margaritas, sangrias, frozen lemonades or agua frescas (Mexico’s thirstquenching watermelon, limejuice, sugar and H2O concoction). Or you can try a few zippy appetizers like grilled watermelon rounds with herb goat cheese, watermelon prosciutto wraps. In the salad depart-

ment, there’s an intoxicating salad (drunken watermelon with vodka and blackberry liqueur marinade), a southwest riff with pickled watermelon rind, cilantro, lime zest, jalapenos and crumbled Cotija cheese or Italian blending watermelon with fresh mozzarella balls and basil. To be served alongside grilled firm fish or deep-sea scallops are assorted relishes and salsas with combinations of nectarines, plums, grapes, chilies and citrus juices. Ever consider chilled soups with watermelon and heirloom tomato gazpacho, Greek yoghurt and watermelon? For the main event, there’s beef, organic chicken breasts or wild caught shrimp stirfries with crispy watermelon sticks. And for dessert, sorbets, watermelon cubes drizzled with melted dark chocolate or frozen watermelon pops coated with coarse salt blends, clover honey and Meyer lemon juice or a splash of your favorite liqueur). The multi-tasking watermelon can also be carved into a basket with the shell used as a tureen for fruit salad, chilled soup or punch.

6th annual International Autonomous Robot Competition features local kids BY VIC WINTRISS “Learning how to write computer programs is something every kid should know in this age of high technology,” Third District San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts said as he opened the 6th annual International Autonomous Robot Competition at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park recently. The two-day event is sponsored by Wintriss Technical Schools, a Carmel Valley non-profit, afterschool program that teaches Java to kids starting in the 5th grade. Corporate sponsors included CareFusion, Semantic Research, Johnson Creative Solutions, VAS Engineering, Outsource Manufacturing and General Atomics. The competition followed a full week RoboCamp where the 16 teams worked eight-hour days on their robots with a practice maze at the CareFusion facilities in Sorrento Mesa. The iARoC competition requires that the robots navigate completely autonomously without any remote control. Wintriss Technical Schools uses volunteer Java professionals headed by lead teacher June Clarke to teach classes in the Carmel Valley classroom. These same teachers volunteered to act as judges at the competition and assign scores to the Mars Race, the Mars Maze Challenge and the Mars Gold Rush, where all 16 teams start together to find a hidden infrared beacon. Team Wolverine Element, the Westview High School team, included Allen Wilhelm, Asia Chapman, who received a special engineering award, Gaurav Paryani, Lobna Allam, Grant Posner, Jacob Posner, with mentors Scott Rongey, Dave Craig, Bryn Bishop and Chris Bishop. The all-volunteer team of professional judges included Paul Webber, Chief Judge, Joseph Bolerjack, Allan Schougaard, Cory Hoover, Theresa Nguyen, Deborah Lazerson, Kat On, Hansol Hong, Matt Voss, Carl Manaster, Bob Martynec, Dave Dunn, Benjamin Possolo, Mark Watson, Victoria Lin, Mark Wintersmith, Enrico Ros. Sofia Webber was the official photographer, Liberty Naud the MC and Dave Massey, Rod Schrock, Alex Gillespie were special assistants. Team M-cubed built their own robot from scratch, an amazing feat done by Milena Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, Max Sun, and Macky Broido. Owen Gallahue and Carl Kyrillos, team Shwayze, tried to solve the maze using a complicated Java algorithm, and almost succeeded.

Dave Roberts WTS is unique in that it is the only school in the country that teaches the Java programming language to children starting in the fifth grade. Java is one of the most popular programming languages, and is used for programming Android cell phones. The computer science advanced placement exam is also given in Java. One WTS student passed the CS AP exam in the eighth grade. As the U. S continues to lose ground in technology, demand for computer programmers continues to increase. Economists expect a shortage of over a million programmers within the next 10 years. Girls, in particular, are underrepresented in the computer science field, and WTS offers several “Girls Rule” workshops during the year.

s a kickoff to the ninth annual Switchfoot Bro-Am, the BroAm Auction Night Soiree was held July 12 at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. The event featured Grammy Award-winning rock act Switchfoot. The event also included a â&#x20AC;&#x153;taste of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;? format, savoring signature dishes from leading local restaurants, such as Pacifica Del Mar, Harney Sushi, Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Del Mar, Pacific Coast Grill, Solace & The Moonlight Lounge, Twenty 20, Daphneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s California Greek, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Solana Beach Crush, and many more. Highlights also included silent and live auctions featuring Switchfootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Drew Shirley as auctioneer and emcee, opportunity drawings, and more. The Switchfoot Bro-Am, held July 13, was created by the band in 2005 to give back to the San Diego community while benefiting local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charities through funds raised at the pre-event auction night soiree, as well as from vendors on the beach and corporate surf team entries, sponsorships, and an after-party at the Belly Up Tavern. Inspired by the success of the Bro-Am, Switchfoot recently created the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation to continue their mission of supporting local at-risk, homeless, and street kids throughout the year.

I think these chairs will really help.” Surf Clinic participants and all members of the public can rent the chairs from the lifeguards at the city’s Beach Safety Center. “We have several wounded warriors that suffer from amputations and they need to get in and out from the beach,” Michalewicz-Kragh said. “Those wheelchairs that they got are really good because they can use them in the deep sand and they can use them independently, which is very important for these young guys. These guys are young and independent and they don’t like depending on anybody. They want to do their own thing.” Montera said he’s excited to use the new wheelchairs and thankful for the support of the community. “There’s a lot of good volunteers out there, a lot of good people who just want to come out and help,” he said. “That’s really awesome.” For more information on how to become involved in volunteering or to make a donation to the Del Mar Foundation, visit www.delmarfoundation.org or call 858-635-1363. litical Research Quarterly; Policy Studies Journal; Legislative Studies Quarterly; Women and Politics; Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences; Policy Studies; and two edited volumes, Gender, Power, Leadership and Governance (Kelly/Duerst-Lahti, 1995) and Women Transforming Congress (Rosenthal, 2003).

The Grand Del Mar dining venues earn Wine Spectator awards The Grand Del Mar recently announced that its three dining venues have been cited by Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Wine List Awards. These awards recognize restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections, are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers. “We are very proud that the resort’s signature restaurant Addison has achieved Wine Spectator’s Grand Award, the magazine’s highest honor for a wine list, for the fifth consecutive year. In addition, both Amaya and Club M have garnered recognition – Amaya received the magazine’s second tier award, The Best of Award of Excellence, for the fourth time; and Club M was given the Award of Excellence for the second year,” said Tom Voss, president of The Grand Del Mar. Addison’s Grand Award, one of 73 earned throughout the world, is based on its superior depth and breadth of over 1,500 selections from among many of the wine world’s major regions – particularly Burgundy, California, Bordeaux, Piedmont and Spain. Wine Spectator editors personally assessed Addison’s cellar collection including its proprietary custom-blended bottlings, its outstanding service, elegant ambiance and the wine list’s excellent harmony with Chef William Bradley’s award-winning contemporary French cuisine. The Best of Award of Excellence, given to Amaya along with 850 other recipients, recognizes its list featuring wines mainly from California, France and Italy designed to accompany its contemporary American cuisine. Winning lists typically offer 400 or more selections superior presentation and, vintage depth within several vertical offerings or excellent breadth across several wine regions. Club M, known for its California-centric wine list and American fare, won its award based on a well-chosen selection of quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style. The 2013 Restaurant Wine List Award winners span all 50 states and 76 countries and territories, along with 11 cruise ships. A full list of the 3,793 winners is featured in the August 31 issue of Wine Spectator, which also includes

Addison Wine Room analysis of the current restaurant wine scene and profiles of this year’s new Grand Award winners. All of the restaurants can also be found in WineSpectator. com’s free-access Restaurant Search, along with details about their wine selection, cuisine, prices and key staff.
