Last year for DMUSD transitional kindergarten BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is entering the last school year where it will be required to offer transitional kindergarten class — so far. Legislation is pending that would make it mandatory for districts to offer the program to low-income students. DMUSD’s

transitional kindergarten (TK) serves a quarter of its population and to date will bring an additional 87 students to the district in the 2014-15 school year. Districts were required by the state to offer transitional kindergarten beginning in the 2012-13 school year, with the intention of

One Paseo community meeting set for Aug. 28 BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board will hold a special meeting to address the proposed One Paseo mixed-use development on Thursday, Aug. 28. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Canyon Crest Academy. According to planning board chair Frisco White, the Aug. 28 meeting will be a chance for the board to hear input from the community. The board will then make a recommendation on the project at a special meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, at Canyon Crest Academy. As the planning board is an advisory board, its position on One Paseo will be forwarded to San Diego City Council, which will have the final say. One Paseo is planned for the vacant corner on El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road. One Paseo’s plans for the project are 1.4 million square feet, more than the 500,000-square-foot of office space that is entitled. Plans include 246,500 square feet of retail, 484,000 square feet of office space, as well as 608 residential units and a “Main Street” feature. The developers, Kilroy Realty, have also promised more than $5 million in community benefits, such as an adapted control system for the traffic lights, landscaped medians and walkways, public plazas and spaces, protected bikeways, trail connections and more. Confirmed One Paseo tenants include Pinstripes, a bistro restaurant with a bowling and bocce ball facility; and restaurants True Food Kitchen, North Italia Restaurant and Puesto Mexican Street Food.

easing the adjustment of the kindergarten start date. The kindergarten start date rolled back one month every school year since 2012 — for the 2014-15 school year, kindergarten students must be 5 before Sept. 1. “Since 2012, Del Mar Union School District has seen a steady increase in

(transitional kindergarten student) numbers and it has had a significant financial impact,” said Shelley Peterson, assistant superintendent of instructional services. In 2012-13, the district had eight transitional kindergartners and 15 early-admission kindergartners.

Those numbers rose to 37 TK students and 14 early-admissions in 2013-14, and in 2014-14, the district is expecting to see 75 TK students and 15 early-admission kindergartners. Peterson said some TK registration packets are still out, so this year’s numbers could increase. See KINDERGARTEN, page 19

Water-use restrictions on tap for Solana Beach’s water district BY JOE TASH For the first time since 2011, customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District face mandatory water-use restrictions, including a limit of three days per week to water outdoor landscaping. The district’s board of

directors will consider a staff recommendation to declare a “Level 2” water shortage response at its meeting Thursday, Aug. 21. The move is needed to comply with a state water conservation mandate issued on July 15.

Del Mar race track safe Sunday without turf course BY ED ZIERALSKI SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES/CARMEL VALLEY NEWS/SOLANA BEACH SUN Compared to the chaos that gripped Del Mar on Friday and Saturday (July 25 and 26) and forced the closure of the turf course, Sunday’s racing was a much-needed return to normal. A rare thunderstorm lit up the sky around the track and pelted the turf and Polytrack with mid-morning rain. It set off car alarms and drew some loud whinnies from the barns. Unfortunately, there was a breakdown in the morning drills that resulted in another horse being euthanized. Trainer Peter Miller’s Chilled Mousse, an unraced 2-yearold colt, worked four furlongs in 50.20 seconds, but then broke down. Chilled Mousse became the eighth horse to die at Del Mar at this meeting that is nine days old (as of this writing – July 27). Five of the deaths were from racing. Turf course racing was set to resume Wednesday, July 30 (after press time for this newspaper), after two turf races were moved Sunday to the Polytrack to allow for a complete aeration, watering and rail movement to give horses softer turf this week. The $150,000 California Dreamin’ Handicap, fifth on the card, was one of the two races moved from turf to Polytrack, but it didn’t matter for trainer Craig Dollase’s Rock Me Baby. Jockey Corey Nakatani, who won two races on the day, let the 5-year-old gelding settle in and then closed to beat long shot Starspangled Heat, with jockey Stewart Elliott aboard for Barry Abrams, by 3¼ lengths.

Dollase said he’ll point Rock Me Baby for the BC Turf Sprint or BC Dirt Mile. “This horse deserved this race after getting beat a head in (California Dreamin’) last year,” said Dollase, who won his 10th Del Mar stakes race, first this meeting. He said he was glad that Del Mar suspended turf racing to get the grass right for racing. “It’s been very hard and very firm, but they’ll get it right,” Dollase said. “They have a good crew out there. As horsemen, we’re looking out for the health of these horses.” Abrams kept his gelding, Starspangled Heat, in the fifth race despite it being moved from turf to Poly, and he finished second. He said he had little choice because his next opportunity on the turf wouldn’t be until October at Santa Anita. “Honestly, it’s not the track,” Abrams said, adding that many factors go into breakdowns, including injuries that may not show up through inspections by veterinarians. “This is a very hard turf track, and those unseen injuries may show up on it.” Both ovals — the Polytrack and the turf course — will change this week, as wax was scheduled to be added to the Polytrack on Monday, probably putting an end to the run of track records. Desert Steel was the latest to break a mark that lasted all of one week. Trained by Simon Calaghan, the daughter of Desert Code ran 5 furlongs in 56.76 seconds to shatter the record set last Sunday by Luminance of 57.39 seconds. Luminance had broken a record that lasted all of four races, set by Jerry Hollendorfer’s Tara’s Tango.

Del Mar school district considering boundary change BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is considering a proposed boundary change for future East Pacific Highlands Ranch homes. The recommendation made by the facilities master plan outreach committee is that the boundary be changed for six Pacific Highlands Ranch developments, moving students from Sycamore Ridge to Ashley Falls School. Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, said the developments represent 570 single and multifamily homes, which they project to generate around 250 students. “When the units are fully occupied, Sycamore Ridge enrollment would exceed 1,000 students,” Romero said. “To offset high enrollment, we would allow new families to attend Ashley Falls.” The boundary change would address not only the issue of high enrollment at Sycamore Ridge, but the declining enrollment at Ashley Falls. Romero said it would be advantageous to the district to do the boundary change now, as it does not affect any current homeowners. Most of these families would probably need to drive to school anyway, Romero said, and the distance between campuses is minimal. Sycamore Ridge is about 2 1/4 miles from East Pacific Highlands Ranch, and Ashley Falls is about 2 1/2 miles away. The boundary change was just a first read for the board. It is expected to be approved at a later date.

Four candidates vying for three seats in two school races The November election may feature four candidates seeking three seats on the San Dieguito Union School District board. So far, incumbents Barbara Groth and Amy Herman have pulled papers to seek re-election, as have new candidates Steven McDowell, a former board member of the Del Mar Union School District, and Simeon Greenstein, who recently retired after 35 years teaching in SDUHSD. Candidates have until Aug. 8 to file. So far incumbent John Salazar has not retrieved filing papers to seek re-election. In the Solana Beach School District, there may also be a race with incumbents Vice President Vicki King, Jeffrey Busby and Debra Schade, and new candidate Holly Lewry. It appears just the incumbents have pulled papers in the Del Mar Union School District and Rancho Santa Fe School District. In Del Mar, President Doug Rafner and trustees Scott Wooden and Kristin Gibson will seek re-election, as will President Todd Frank and Marti Ritto in Rancho Santa Fe. — Karen Biling

District approves new contract for Superintendent Holly McClurg BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District Board July 23 approved a new contract for Superintendent Holly McClurg through June 30, 2018. McClurg’s annual salary will be $185,000 with an annual doctoral stipend of $10,000. She will receive a car allowance of $400 a month, 25 vacation days, health benefits and a retirement contribution of $700 a month. “Hiring and evaluating the superintendent is the biggest responsibility we have as a board,” said trustee Kristin Gibson, speaking via a Skype connection from London. “It’s a very thorough and cohesive process.” Trustee Alan Kholos said he takes this board responsibility very seriously and said a lot of research was done to ensure they have a good, competitive contract. He said the new contract represents McClurg’s education, experience and leadership, which has produced great results. “It’s not just an employment agreement, it’s an agreement that really recognizes the outstanding results that we’ve had and hope will continue throughout the years,” Kholos said. The new contract also includes a goal-oriented bonus compensation, which Kholos said is standard for many community businesses. Per the contract, the superintendent will be eligible to

Holly McClurg receive two bonuses if significant progress is made on set goals and objectives. The determination of eligibility for the first bonus of $5,000 shall be made no later than Nov. 30 of each contract year. The second $5,000 bonus will be determined by June 30 of each year. McClurg last received a raise in 2013, from $158,000 a year to $170,000.

New principal sought for Carmel Del Mar School BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is in the process of hiring a new principal for Carmel Del Mar School. Former principal Eileen Delaney announced on July 15 that she has accepted a position in the Tustin Unified School District. Delaney had been the principal at the school since 2011. “I have had a wonderful experience during my years at Carmel Del Mar School,” wrote Delaney in a letter to the school community. “I have made strong relationships and I have enjoyed seeing children be so successful. I wish you continued success for your children in the future.” Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, said the district hopes to have a new principal in the position by the beginning of August.

Carmel Valley 5K, 10K to hit Gonzales Canyon this fall BY KAREN BILLING A new trail running race is coming to Carmel Valley this fall. Jeff Stoner of Del Mar’s Seasick Marketing visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board to update the board on plans for the Carmel Valley Trail 5K and 10K Run, set to take place Sept. 20. A portion of race proceeds will go toward the Challenged Athletes Foundation. The race will start and finish at Torrey Highlands Park behind Torrey Pines High School, taking racers on a single-track, loop course into Gonzales Canyon. The race will begin at 8 a.m. and Stoner said 125 to 150 participants are expected. Parking spaces will be available for participants at Torrey Pines High School. The planning board gave the race a thumbs-up, save for a warning about plentiful poison oak in the canyon. Stoner said he has been working with the rangers about the course, and they have made him aware of the poisonous plants. The areas with poison oak will be clearly marked for runners to avoid.

Two meetings set for residents to give thoughts on city’s Urban Forestry Plan BY KAREN BILLING The city of San Diego is developing an Urban Forestry Plan and is looking for community input on how people feel about the trees in their neighborhoods: Is there enough foliage? Do the trees drop too many leaves? Are the roots cracking the pavement? Would you support a fee or tax for tree care? The city has received a $75,000 planning grant from California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to complete its management plan, and the Community Forestry Advisory Board has been doing public outreach throughout San Diego, targeting a draft plan by 2015. Rachele Melious, a member of the advisory board, visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on July 24. Melious said having a healthy tree canopy in the city can provide many benefits. Trees not only make neighborhoods and business districts more pleasant, but their shade can help lower energy bills. The leaves also clean the air by absorbing pollutants, and they reduce greenhouse gases and urban heat. “Trees need quality planting and care. It’s about the right tree for the right place,” Melious said, noting that a good management plan involves water, evaluation, removal, replacement and more. “It’s a long and complicated process. If you do it right in the beginning, it helps a lot.” Two community outreach meetings will be held this year for residents to provide input on the plan. The first is at 6 p.m. Sept. 22 at University Town Center Forum Hall; the second is at 6 p.m. Sept. 29 at Balboa Park’s War Memorial Building. The advisory board aims for the plan to be adopted by the City Council in spring 2015. To provide input via an online survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/CXS5KXC.

New housing at Torrey Hills bumps up DMUSD enrollment BY KAREN BILLING When the school year kicks off on Aug. 28, the Del Mar Union School District is projecting an enrollment of 4,441 students this year, a slight increase of 20 students from last year. “We would be experiencing a decline in enrollment this year if not for about 150 students coming from new development in Torrey Hills,” said Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources. Families start moving in this week to new apartment housing at Torrey Gardens, and Romero said the district is expecting about 110 students to come from those units. Next door to Torrey Gardens on West Ocean Air Drive is the nearly complete Ocean Air Apartment Homes development, which the district projects will bring about 50 students. Looking ahead, the district expects to steadily increase enrollment through 202122, thanks to Pacific Highlands Ranch developments, hitting more than 5,000 students in 2018 and 5,233 in 2021. Romero said the next three years after 2022, the district expects to plateau at around 5,000 students. Romero said that the district realized its enrollment needs a few years ago, establishing the flexible option areas in 2012-13 to help deal with its more affected campuses. The option areas allow families that live within the boundaries to choose between two schools designated for their area. Option areas are Ocean Air-Sage Canyon; Sage

Canyon-Ashley Falls; Ocean Air-Torrey Hills; Del Mar Hills-Carmel Del Mar; and Sycamore Ridge-Ashley Falls. In 2012-13, 87 students took advantage of option areas; in 2013-14, 105 students participated; and in 2014-15, the district so far has 112 students to make an option area choice. In the 2013-14 school year, the district entered a memorandum of understanding with the Del Mar California Teachers Association that allowed a maximum of 22 students in kindergarten through third grade, and 28 students in grades four through six. That agreement was renewed in April 2014 for the coming school year. “Because of the MOU, we saw a savings of 10 teachers from 2012-13 to 2013-14, because it allowed us to staff properly,” Romero said. Even though there are more students, thanks to the ability to staff “properly,” Romero said so far the district will save two teachers from 2013-14 to this year, from 186 to 184. Class size ratios in 2013-14 were an average of 21.4:1 in transitional kindergarten (TK) through third grade and 25.8: 1 in fourth through sixth grades. In 2014-15, Romero said they project those numbers to remain about the same, with 21.7: 1 at TK through third and 25.6: 1 at fourth through sixth grades. The district has also been able to see a reduction in combination classes, from 11

Del Mar Village Association receives National Main Street accreditation BY KRISTINA HOUCK Less than a year after being designated as a California Main Street community, the Del Mar Village Association has now been designated as an accredited National Main Street Program. Each year, the National Main Street Center and its partners announce the list of accredited Main Street programs in recognition of their commitment to historic preservation and community revitalization through the Main Street Four Point Approach. Only 700 programs nationally have attained this accreditation. “We’re very proud of Del Mar,” said Carolyn Dellutri, senior director of programs and services of the National Main Street Center. “Nationally accredited Main Street programs are dedicated to revitalizing their districts. It’s an honor to have Del Mar as part of our program.”

Gonzales Canyon group spruces up site On July 19, Friends of Gonzales Canyon volunteers helped paint a new kiosk in the Carmel Valley canyon. The volunteers included neighbors and members of the Torrey Pines High School Key Club. In addition to painting, the group also removed trash, tumbleweed and thistle from along the trail. The Friends of Gonzales Canyon now meet regularly every third Saturday to remove trash and invasive non-native plants, maintain trails and do other work to enhance the canyon. For all events, volunteers are asked to wear sturdy shoes and sun protection, and bring water and gloves. The next event is scheduled from 9 a.m.-noon Aug. 16. The group is also planning a big event Sept. 20 for the Coastal Cleanup Day. For events, meet at the canyon trailhead on Sword Way. Visit sdcanyonlands.org.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although summer storms brought welcome rain to San Diego County Sunday, July 27, lightning struck a palm tree in Solana Beach, igniting a small fire. The rumbles of thunder and flashes of lightning rattled several Solana Beach residents after lightning struck the tree on Santa Olivia. Parts of the tree burned and fell on the ground, with fire crews responding to the scene. “We’ve had lightning, but it’s never been this close,” said Torrey Pines High School senior Tim Holdsworth, who captured firefighters putting out the blaze. “When we heard the thunder and saw the lightning — it was almost instantaneous.” There were more than 200 lightning strikes in San Diego County since Friday, with nearly 140 on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Lightning struck several places in the Santa Fe Hills neighborhood in Solana Beach. In addition to the palm tree, a house on Santa Queta was hit. “It was loud enough and intense enough that we

Firefighters responded to a small fire caused by lightning July 27 in Solana Beach.

Del Mar received .57 inches of rain and Solana Beach received .29 inches, according to the National Weather Service, which issued a flash flood warning for northern parts of San Diego County and southwestern Riverside County.

Orphanage effort raises more than $12,000 On Saturday, June 28, supporters of Kimera Orphanage gathered for the third annual fundraiser at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Guests participated in golf and tennis clinics, an exhibition tennis game from local tennis pros, lunch, a silent auction and donation drawing. The event brought together 65 people and raised more than $12,000. Kimera’s founder is Eddie Sengendo. Sengendo is a tennis pro at Lomas Santa Fe who began his life in Uganda and as a child had to escape to Kenya as a refugee. His family was granted political asylum in San Diego. Shortly after arriving at Father Joe’s Village in San Diego, he was introduced to the game of tennis and has been playing with much success ever since. He is hoping now to put both his good fortune and the game of tennis towards his goal of opening an orphanage for children outside of Kampala, Uganda. For information, visit kimeraorphanage.org.

Local camp helps shape Solana Beach youth into community leaders BY KRISTINA HOUCK After attending the inaugural La Colonia de Eden Gardens Youth Leadership Camp last year, Edgar Vergara was inspired to make positive change in Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community. Along with other local teens, the 15-year-old co-founded the youth group La Colonia Changers and recently hosted a town hall forum on underage drinking. Passionate about making an impact on his hometown, Edgar jumped at the chance to return to the camp this year as a youth leader. “I was very motivated after last year’s camp,” said Edgar, a junior at Torrey Pines High School. “I wanted to come back, help out other kids and give back.” Edgar was one of 50 youth ages 12-17 who gathered July 14-17 at the Whispering Winds Catholic Conference Center in Julian for the second consecutive camp. Organized by La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation and funded by numerous local supporters, the camp offered attendees four days and three nights of fun and educational activities for only $30 per camper — with a fee waiver for those who opted for volunteer work. “It’s important to have a camp like this for kids in the community so instead of going out and doing something bad, we can be at camp, having fun and meeting new people,” said 17-year-old Selenne Olivares, a junior at Torrey Pines High School. “It’s an experience like no other.” Establishing a youth camp was one of the goals of La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, an organization founded by community members nearly four years ago to suppress escalating drug and gang violence, as well as to encourage local youth to make positive choices and improve resources for residents. Since then, the foundation has held community forums, created a community garden and launched the camp, among other accomplishments. “A few years back, there weren’t many summer programs. There were kids falling through the cracks,” said Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of the foundation. “The purpose of the camp is to help these kids grow outside of their comfort zone, try new things, make new friends, and be exposed to a combination of academic, motivational, recreational and family-oriented activities.” Thirty-five local kids attended last year’s camp. This year’s camp attracted 50 campers, most from Eden Gardens and others from families who have since moved to Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Oceanside and other neighboring communities. Campers talked about their education and career goals, and listened to motivational speeches, including a presentation by “Rain of Gold” novelist Victor Villaseñor. They also worked on arts projects, played sports, rode zip lines and more. “At some point, my goal is that they take over the organization and continue the efforts moving forward so the people running the board now can sit back and help support them,” Aguilar said. “I don’t want to be here in 20 years doing the same thing, because I think that ultimately we have a lot of capable people. My goal is to create leaders.” Just two years into the camp, Aguilar is well on his way of reaching his goal. Re-energized, Edgar is looking forward to making even more positive change in the community. “Camp was fun and very inspiring,” Edgar said. “We’re excited and want to improve our community. We have to give back and say ‘thank you’ to those who have helped us.” To learn more about La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, visit lceg.org.

Local marathoner takes triathlon challenge and runs with it Besides racing success, she has also created line of women’s athletic wear BY KAREN BILLING When Carmel Valley triathlete Andi Neugarten isn’t pouring everything she has into training to endure grueling Ironman and half-Ironman distance races, she is putting “blood, sweat and tears” into her company Alii Lifestyle, a line of feminine and fashionable athletic wear. Her gear is sold online and in 40 stores across the country, including locally at Her Revolution in Solana Beach and Nitro in Encinitas. A percentage of the sales goes to support the Challenged Athletes Foundation, a cause close to Neugarten’s heart. One of her main sources of motivation to even try a triathlon was watching a man without legs compete in CAF’s San Diego Triathlon Challenge. Neugarten was in tears watching him power up a hill. “It was inspiring to see. It made me think, ‘If he can do it, there’s nothing I can’t do,’” she said. In March, Neugarten completed her second full Ironman triathlon (a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride capped by a 26.2-mile marathon) at the Asia Pacific Championship in Melbourne. On July 13, Neugarten finished fourth in the female 4549 age group at the Vineman Ironman 70.3. The race is a half-Ironman, breaking down to a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run in Sonoma County. Her finish qualified her for the 70.3 Ironman World Championships in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada in September. But Neugarten has decided she will not be racing, as the event falls at the same time as this year’s Interbike convention in Las Vegas, the largest exhibition in the country for the cycling industry. “My focus this year is on building my business,” Neugarten said. “I’m very excited for this coming season, I think this is going to be a big season for us.” A busy single mom of two college-age children, Neugarten is a native of South Africa.

Local Ironman triathlete Andi Neugarten: ‘I love what I’m doing every single day.’ COURTESY PHOTO After playing competitive tennis for most of her youth, she picked up running around age 16. A family friend invited her on a 6-mile run that she was sure she could not finish — but she did. Then she ran a half marathon, which rolled into her first marathon at age 23. Soon enough, the girl who wasn’t sure she could do 6

miles was completing the Comrades Ultra Marathon, run for 56.1 miles between the capital of the KwazuluNatal Province of South Africa and the coastal city of Durban. “Once you run it once, you get hooked,” Neugarten said of the race, which switches directions every year, changing from an uphill to downhill course and back. Neugarten has run the challenging Comrades race four times, as well as nearly 100 marathons. In 2002, she moved to San Diego and those 26.2 miles started to lose their appeal. “I got bored with running marathons. It wasn’t inspiring or motivating me, so I decided I needed a new challenge,” Neugarten said. She found it in the triathlon, undeterred by the fact that she had no experience swimming competitively or racing a bike. She joined a masters swim program and hopped off the spin class bike and onto a real bike — honing

her cycling skills by completing the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Million Dollar Challenge, a 620-mile ride from San Francisco to San Diego. Neugarten has now competed in numerous triathlons, including about 20 70.3 half-Ironman distance triathlons and those two impressive full Ironmans. For her second Ironman in March, Neugarten competed at the Ironman Melbourne in Australia, which she followed up with the St. Croix International Triathlon in May, a halfIronman distance. “It was the most beautiful and hardest race I’ve ever done,” Neugarten said of St. Croix. The “beast” of a course features a swim in choppy harbor waters, an average grade of 14 percent for the bike portion, followed by a run in hot, windy, sauna-like conditions. “It was nasty, but incredible.” When Neugarten moved to San Diego, she was working as a corporate banker. Tired of looking at other people’s businesses, she wanted to do something that fueled her passions. She ended up getting her dream job, working for Active Network (active.com) as the director of new business for the international division. Her job entailed traveling to Europe to open new markets. For four months, she lived the dream until the company tried to do an initial public offering and a new CFO came aboard, shutting down all spending and cutting all new hires. “I thought I had died and life was over, because how would I ever replace my dream job?” said Neugarten. After licking her wounds, she pulled herself together and started to seriously consider starting her own business, driven by her personal experiences and passions. As an athlete, she often had trouble finding the right clothing. “I really couldn’t find clothing that I loved to wear as an athlete and still feel beautiful,” Neugarten said. “Just because I’m athletic and muscular doesn’t mean I’m one of the boys.” She attended her first Interbike conference in Vegas just to see if what she was looking for existed anywhere in the market. When she found that it didn’t, she jumped into starting her own business, much as she had the triathlon — she didn’t know anything about design or manufacturing. After a lot of “digging and scratching,” she joined forces with the right team of people in May 2012 and was determined to launch at the next Interbike show in the fall. “We had a small line of cycling and triathlon apparel, and we made a splash with our details like rhinestone zippers and ruching,” Neugarten said. “We had a business.” After taking orders, she then had to figure out how to finance it. She admits that the past couple of years have been a challenge with juggling credit cards and a lot of hard work, but she’s gone the distance. “If it was easy, everyone would do it,” said Neugarten, invoking a mantra often applied to things like ultramarathons and Ironmans. “I love what I’m doing every single day. I’m not at work; I’m creating. The best part is how much I have learned over the last two years.” Alii Lifestyle (aliilifestyle.com) is named for Alii Drive, the street in Kona that is home to the Ironman finish line. “It’s a feminine name, but it fits with the passion, perseverance, motivation and hard work that has gone into every athlete’s journey to the finish line,” Neugarten said. With her clothing, she goes for the most beautiful colors and the most “yummy delicious” Italian high-performance fabrics. But functionality comes first. See MARATHONER, page 15

Local cancer survivor calls for research and preventative funding from lawmakers BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having battled cancer three times, Julie Westcott is now an advocate for others who have the disease. A Del Mar resident, she participated July 7-8 in One Voice Against Cancer’s National Lobby Day in Washington, D.C., to encourage elected officials to increase funding for cancer research and prevention programs. One Voice Against Cancer is a collaboration of nonprofits that urges increased funding for cancer research, treatment, survivorship and prevention in the Congressional budget. “I feel it’s really important for people to have a voice,” said Westcott. “It’s one thing to be a passive bystander and have feelings about something, but you have to actually take the time and effort to make your voice heard.” Westcott was diagnosed with adult acute myeloid leukemia in 2006. She was just 31 years old. The aggressive cancer returned in 2008 and again in 2009. While still undergoing treatment,

Cancer survivor and advocate Julie Westcott (back row, center, and at right) participated July 7-8 in One Voice Against Cancer’s National Lobby Day in Washington, D.C., where she and other cancer advocates met with Sen. Dianne Feinstein. COURTESY PHOTOS she became an active volunteer with both the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Livestrong Foundation in 2008. As a representative of Livestrong, Westcott joined advocates from more than 30 cancer organizations in One Voice Against Cancer’s National Day of Lobbying to request increased funding for cancer research and prevention programs. More than 30 Livestrong representatives participated in the two-day event, totaling almost 130 meetings among the entire team with the offices of elected officials. Westcott met with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and presented her with One Voice Against Cancer’s 2014 Cancer Champion Award. She also met with the offices of Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). “Before I left and my first day there, I was really nervous. I’ve been very involved in advocacy and fundraising for care, but I’ve never done something like this before,” said

Westcott, 39, who is celebrating five years cancerfree in September. “Even though it was a personal challenge to step out of my comfort zone, I wanted to get involved so my voice could be heard. It was an empowering experience.” As a result of funding

cuts, about 750 fewer new patients were admitted to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center last year. Advocates gathered on Capitol Hill to urge their local lawmakers to end the decline of cancer’s share of the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s medical research agency and the leading supporter of biomedical research in the world. Advocates also requested $5.26 billion for the National Cancer Institute, and $510 million for cancer programs of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We need [this community] to have a voice,” Westcott said. “I’m fairly certain that almost everyone in the community has been affected by cancer in some way. We need to have a voice, go to our representatives and ask for funding together.” For more about One Voice Against Cancer, visit www.ovaconline.org.

Paid Advertisment Do Solana Beach Voters Care that the Irrigation District is ‘Rolling in Dough’ from Surplus Cash Flow? In twelve years as a Director of the Santa Fe Irrigation District, I have seen a lot of ups and downs. Up now is the cash balance of the District, at an all time high, $29.5 million. I have voted ‘no’ ten times in a row on ten different proposals to raise rates. I thought the District was trying to raise rates too high, too fast. The rationale for those rate increases was the District’s $61 million “asset management master plan,” for pipes in the ground and needed system improvements.

Above: Christopher Lucio in the No. 1 spot on the podium. Right, Christopher with his medals.

CV athlete wins national title Christopher Lucio of Carmel Valley competed in the U.S.A. Gymnastics trampoline and tumbling national champions held recently in Louisville, Ky. To qualify for this weeklong national competition, the athlete must succeed in at least one of three events (power tumbling, trampoline, and double mini trampoline) at local, state, and regional competitions. Christopher won the gold medal in his division, earning him the title of National Champion, and the bronze medal in power tumbling. Christopher, an honor student, trains five days per week at Flip Force/San Diego, also studies parkour and saxophone. He graduated from St. Columba Catholic School and is a freshman at Cathedral Catholic.

“I love compression. When you’re running, you don’t want to feel like your stomach is protruding or your shirt’s riding up. Everything is held in place,” Neugarten said. “I feel like triathlon shorts are always the tiniest things, and it’s such a confidence thing if they don’t fit right. It makes me race better and train better if I’m not worried about how I look in my shorts.” In 2013, Alii launched a team of 12 Elite athletes and 20 brand ambassadors. Some of her wellknown brand ambassadors are “Iron Icons” Paula Newby-Fraser, who won the Ironman Championship eight times; Julie Moss, who memorably collapsed in exhaustion near the finish

line of Kona in 1982 and willed herself to crawl the final 200 meters of the race; and Kathleen McCartney-Hearst, who shocked herself by passing Moss to win her first Ironman. Many of the athletes who represent Alii have inspirational stories, such as Aurora Colello, a triathlete and mother of four who took a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2009 as a challenge to become more active, and Luana Dias Concepcion, mother of a special-needs child. Concepcion is training for her first Ironman in Arizona year. “I am an athlete, and training and racing are a huge part of my life — but I am a woman! When I am not training, I am wearing high heels, and I love my skirts and dresses,” said

Colello. “I love to look feminine and I love that I can still race hard-core Half Ironman and look feminine and sexy in Andi’s line.” Since her diagnosis, Colello has completed more than 20 triathlons. She is training for 70.3 Ironman Miami, her second half Ironman. In her first Half Ironman two years ago, she finished fifth in her age group. Concepcion has been competing in triathlons for four years and works as a fitness instructor. She said she lives in workout clothes and has tried “every brand known to woman” but loves Alii’s flattering leggings and comfy tanks she can wear all the time. The bike shorts are her favorite. Concepcion founded a nonprofit called Light EnSee MARATHONER, page 16

The financing plan was “pay as you go,” raising money through three 12% annual rate increases. I voted ‘no’ because I never thought the District’s spending would approach what the Staff was projecting. It hasn’t; it’s not even close. On July 1, 2010 the District’s cash balance was $21.25 million, today it is over $29.5 million, from $8 million surplus cash flow over four years. Each year, the Board of Directors “appropriates” capital funds that the Staff says they will spend, but over the past five years, spending has lagged behind, dramatically:

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

$ Carried over From Prior Year 1.243m 8.342m 6.700m 3.547m 3.995m 3.872m

$ Budget Appropriation 8.394m 3.096m 5.500m 1.783m 3.290m 8.417m

$Actual Spending 1.453m 3.239m 6.109m 1.130m (6/30/14 audit in process) (current fiscal year)

From 2007 to 2013, the audited cash flow “acquisition of capital assets” shows $18,351,000 of infrastructure investment, but surplus revenue has accumulated to the current record high $29.5 million. My advice, in 2010, was one rate increase at time, spread out over multiple years, instead of three annual increases, to truly “pay as you go” but “go slow” and only raise rates enough to cover the cash going out the door, into the ground for construction. Over the past seven years my water bill has doubled due to compounding all those annual rate increases. So, what are we going to do about it? Citizens can volunteer to serve on the Irrigation District board, if they live in one of the three divisions of the District’s five member board that will be on the ballot this November; two divisions are in Solana Beach, along the sea coast. See the map on the District’s web site www.sfidwater.org under “Board of Directors.” You can put your name on the ballot before August 8th by filing simple forms at the County Registrar of Voters, www.sdvote.com. You don’t have to circulate a petition or get signatures to get on the ballot. You can do it by yourself. On June 19th the ruling majority of the Irrigation District Board once again approved over my objection a budget “appropriating” a $12.5 million capital budget. I predict another year of “surplus cash flow”, increasing the District’s “dough” to over $30 million. All the other Directors were in favor of a 5% salary raise awarded to the District’s General Manager on May 15th, including two directors in Solana Beach who are up for re-election in November. The salary of the General Manager is now $213,000 per year (+17% pension contribution), $30,000 higher than the Solana Beach City Manager. According to the State Comptroller, in 2012 the average wage for Solana Beach’s 156 employees was $30,172. For the Irrigation District’s 52 employees, the average wage was $75,040. Now do you understand why I voted ‘no’ in 2012 and 2014 when the ruling majority on the Irrigation District Board raised wages for employees? Then why, as of July 25th, has no one in Solana Beach gone to the Registrar of Voters to file papers to run for the two available seats? If no one puts their name on the ballot by August 8th, then the incumbent directors get to keep their seats for four more years, with no election contest. - John Ingalls

Education Matters/Opinion

Focus on senior portraits BY MARSHA SUTTON As part of its contract with the San Dieg u i t o Marsha Sutton Union High School District to shoot senior yearbook portraits, Keane Studios, located in Carmel Valley, receives personal contact information for each 12th-grade student and their parents. Some parents say this is wrong, citing a violation of privacy rights. “A few weeks ago I received a letter that [child’s] personal information was sent to Keane Studios so she could be photographed for the yearbook,” said one parent in May, whose child will be a senior this fall. The parent, who wished to remain anonymous, received letters, emails and calls – not only from Keane but also from high school students on the yearbook staff, urging her to schedule a sitting. When she contacted the studio, she learned that Keane had her child’s name, address, phone number and email, as well as all that for her and her husband. “I do not feel it is acceptable for a for-profit business to be given all this personal information … without the explicit consent of the parents,” she said in an email. But the district has supported this approach which it claims has worked well in years past, to communicate to families the deadlines and details of senior yearbook portraits. The goal is to inform and include as many seniors as possible in the yearbook, while minimizing the many staff hours it would take to do Keane’s work. Christina Bennett, SDUHSD’s director of purchasing and risk management, confirmed that personal student contact information is routinely given to Keane Studios but added that the Annual Notification signature page provided to parents at the start of each school year allows parents to opt out of information sharing. “Through the annual notification to parents, the district seeks permission from parents to release directory information for legitimate educational interests or official district business,” Bennett said in an email. “Parents do have the option to request their children’s information be withheld.” The form allows parents to opt their children out of contact from the military, colleges and employers –

and from the yearbook. If “yearbook” is checked, that indicates “you do not want your student’s photo in yearbook.” There is no option to prohibit specific contractors from receiving student information. Bennett said outside vendors who receive student information are required to sign a confidentiality agreement before information is released. “We have such an agreement with Keane,” she said. The agreement says that the contractor (in this case, Keane Studios) “is required to maintain the confidentiality of the student information provided and not to disclose personally identifiable information about a student including photos to any other party without the prior written consent of the parent or eligible student …” The agreement further states that when the work has been completed, “all student information will be destroyed and no copies or other retention of the personally identifiable student information will be maintained.” This last part may come as a surprise to my anonymous parent who said she discovered Keane had retained her older child’s personal information when she called Keane about her rising senior. Public Records request Charges of privacy rights violations make me curious. A review of information obtained from the district under a California Public Records Act request included a message from Keane Studios, distributed to the class of 2015, that states in part, “To be sure every senior is represented in your senior yearbook, the school registrar supplies us with your contact information.” Clearly the release of student data to Keane is no secret. Keane requests seniors’ names, parents’ names, addresses, all phone numbers and all emails on file at the district – all on a flash drive or CD. Keane employees then contact families to schedule senior portraits for the yearbook. Employees, by the way, include San Dieguito students working as interns for Keane. On June 19, 2013, Keane Studios owner Bill Keane emailed SDUHSD yearbook advisers, saying the interns working at Keane “have been calling seniors for about a month now.” The released CPRA information indicated that yearbook students are also given personal information

of their senior classmates which is used to contact seniors to encourage them to schedule a portrait sitting. This, despite Bennett’s assertion that “students working in journalism on school newspapers and yearbooks do not get access to student contact information.” There are controls, Bennett said, on access to student information, including state and federal laws, the annual notification opt-out form, Calif. Education Code 49073, confidentiality agreements, and board policy (BP 5125.1 and 5125.1/AR-1). According to the district’s annual notification form, directory information can include the following: student’s name, address, telephone number, email address, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent public or private school attended by the student. “Parents/guardians must notify the district in writing every year if they do not want the district to disclose directory information from their child’s education records without prior written consent,” the policy states. Pricing Digging into the privacy issue uncovered other concerns of parents – notably, the cost and lack of choice in vendors. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, said, “I’ve had more questions about the senior photography than anything else.” Dill said the district uses only one vendor to ensure a consistent look and avoid potential problems with quality, size, background and other logistics. It has been district policy for many years now to select one vendor through a formal Request for Proposal process. The requirement to have senior portraits taken by one approved vendor is supported by the high school yearbook advisers, but not all parents are on board, with some raising cost issues. An RFP was issued last year for senior yearbook photography, and Keane was once again selected. Although it’s a five-year contract, the district says the school board must approve the contract annually. Dill hinted that the future may be unfocused, because students aren’t booking portrait sessions as before, and sales of yearbooks, which can cost students more than $100, are declining. High schools without yearbooks is a disheartening prospect. Yet this may be a snapshot of changes to come. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail. com.

Letters to the editor/opinion One Paseo has something for everyone, but is it a ‘Village?’ I take exception to Kilroy’s latest advertisement for One Paseo, a “Proposed mixed-use neighborhood village with something for everyone.” Part of it is accurate and part of it is not. What is not accurate is the “neighborhood village.” Del Mar is a village. Del Mar has public transportation. A “neighborhood village” is not a series of five-story-plus buildings on a relatively small plot of land. The rendering in the latest ad shows a two-story structure in the foreground and a five-story structure in the background with a wide expansive walking/park area in the middle. Looking closer in the left side of the rendering, you see what looks like the top of a much taller structure in the background. And from everything I’ve seen, there is no wide expanse of walking/park area in the existing project. What is accurate is the “something for everyone.” Unfortunately, that’s not all good news, either. A big part of the “something” is going to be gridlock resulting from the increased traffic flow. This increased gridlock will affect the large workforce that commutes to and from work each day, parents and others transporting children to and from schools in the community, as well as hamper emergency services from reaching parts of Carmel Valley and Del Mar. Two new traffic signals, no matter how dynamic they are said to be, will not improve our traffic problem. Our current infrastructure does not support a project of this size. The proponents of this project say that the traffic will all work out, if and when the freeways and on/off-ramps are widened and created. There’s no guarantee of any of that. I believe in looking ahead — however, I believe in looking ahead with a balanced plan that fits the needs of the community, not the needs of a corporation. Respectfully, Lynwood Lary

Sheriff’s Department and response times The newly appointed captain of the San Diego County Sheriff’s department, Encinitas branch, recently provided the city of Del Mar’s budget and finance committee with the average response times for the four major types of 911 calls. The response times as stated by the captain appear to be consistent with our neighboring cities, including Solana Beach. Priority 1 calls, extreme emergency to life such as serious accidents, airplane crashes and SWAT actions, at approximately 12 minutes. Priority 2 calls, serious felonies in process such as homicide, kidnapping, rape, armed robbery, and residential burglary, at approximately 9.5 minutes. Priority 3 calls, such as potential risk of injury that is ongoing such as reckless driving, driving under the influence, hit and run property damage, at approximately 14 minutes. Priority 4 calls, occurrences or recent events with less chance of injury or harm such as loud parties, prowler, vandalism, trespassing and burglar alarm, at approximately 42 minutes. The independent consultant hired by the city of Del Mar to evaluate the current sheriff’s contract reported in late 2013, that the estimated average response using our own police department would be similar to the response times of our fire department at 5 minutes. The consultant also stated that the annual estimated cost of running our own department would be comparable with the current Sheriff’s department contract at $2 million annually. Under this current five-year contract, the Sheriff’s department provides one deputy 24/7, one traffic officer for 40 hours per week, and one detective for 40 hours per week. Our consultants have estimated that with our own police department, we would need up to 19 full- and part-time employees. The captain has admitted that the Sheriff’s department is unable to improve these response times significantly, based on the way deputies are assigned to patrol. You be the judge. Our community deserves better. Your opinion matters. Please contact your city council members at www.delmar. ca.us. Barry Entous, Del Mar LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

At Stand Down, veterans get the respect they deserve Managing the challenges of multiple sclerosis BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS San Diego is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the nation. Sadly, many men and women who have served our country now need our help. In our community, the nonprofit Veterans Village of San Diego steps in to provide assistance. Earlier this month, Veterans Village hosted its 27th “Stand Down,” a three-day event that converts the field at San Diego High School into a tent city where nearly 900 homeless veterans and their families received medical and dental care, clothing, job training and other help. Veterans are divided into units and assigned to tents on the hot and dusty field. One of my policy aides, Evan Bollinger, served as a leader for Mike Tent, which housed mostly younger veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I spent a Sunday afternoon at the event and participated

in the graduation ceremony. The veterans’ stories brought tears to my eyes. They spoke of how their lives had unraveled since they left military service and how they ended up homeless. They expressed their commitment to getting their life back on track. They said they were proud of their military service. Stand Down ends with a graduation ceremony. One by one, tent groups parade across the field and report to the stage, where they are recognized for completing the Stand Down program. Each graduate received a backpack, sleeping bag, toiletry kit, baseball cap and sandwiches.

Perhaps most importantly, each veteran received a sincere Thank You for his or her service. The goal of Stand Down is to get homeless veterans off the streets and re-acclimate them into society. I am happy to say that most of the men from Tent Mike will be housed at Veterans Village, St. Vincent’s or elsewhere with the assistance of a housing voucher. Stand Down organizers say fewer people participated this year, although more of the veterans were younger and many had young children. I noticed at least two pregnant women. Our community must remain committed to helping all veterans and their families. This year, Stand Down struck personal chords for me. The oldest of my five adopted children ships out to Lackland Airforce Base next month to begin basic See VETERANS, page 22

Earlier in the year, Senate Bill 837 was proposed to

BY CHARLES SMITH, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH Nearly all of us feel fatigued at some time or another. Maybe we’re run down, sick, dehydrated, or depressed. There are many possible reasons for fatigue, and the more we understand what is causing ours, the more effectively we can treat it. This is especially true for people with multiple sclerosis, or MS. Fatigue is one of the most common complaints associated with MS; unfortunately, many MS symptoms can be quite complicated and require significant time to understand and treat. Because many physicians today are limited in the amount of time they can spend with patients, it is important for people with MS to understand as much as they can about their symptoms and proactively help their doctors identify the root cause of the problem and start optimal treatment more quickly. Why are MS symptoms so complex? Consider this: MS is an immune-mediated disease that attacks the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. As a result, symptoms can vary greatly and affect nearly everything from movement and physical functions to cognitive skills and emotions. MS is chronic, so symptoms may come and go, and range from mild to disabling. Let’s take a closer look at fatigue. MS itself can cause fatigue; there is a condition known as MS fatigue that typically occurs in the afternoon. MS can also affect the bladder, causing some people to wake up multiple times during the night to urinate. This repeated interruption of sleep could certainly lead to fatigue. Muscle spasms are another common symptom, and these can interfere with a restful night’s sleep. About 50 percent of people with MS will have depression at some point in their lives, which can lead people to feel tired and low on energy. Moreover, medications such as interferon that are used to treat MS may actually make some patients tired as a side effect. So when a person with MS reports fatigue, the key is to determine the underlying cause or causes and treat accordingly. Bladder symptoms can be addressed so that the person is not waking up every few hours or more to use the bathroom. Muscle spasms and depression can be treated as well. If MS medications are contributing to fatigue, doc-

tor and patient need to determine whether the benefits of the medication outweigh its side effects; alternative medications are now available. Bladder or bowel dysfunction is another common MS complaint. As mentioned earlier, many patients wake up throughout the night to urinate. Incontinence can also be a concern. Years ago when I was just starting in my career, I asked a patient if she had any bladder problems, and she said no. I later learned she was incontinent several times a week, but she thought that was normal for MS and couldn’t be treated, so she didn’t tell me about it. People with MS need to understand that in most cases, these types of problems can now be completely controlled. Knowing that something can be done to improve their quality of life, patients can go back to their doctors and share information to determine the most appropriate treatment. In the past, it was thought that cognitive problems such as memory loss and confusion were not a common concern with MS. Today, we know that 25 percent of patients may show evidence of cognitive impairment with specialized testing on the first day they are diagnosed with MS. After a patient has had the disease for five years, that number rises to 54 percent. We now know that MS-related cognitive problems are the most common reason why those with MS must stop working earlier than they otherwise would. Because cognitive complaints are so prevalent, we evaluate them much more carefully than in the past. Research has shown that three symptoms — fatigue, depression and cognitive impairment — most affect the quality of life for MS patients, even more so than paralysis. Fortunately, when patients understand their symptoms and work with their doctors to assess them, appropriate treatments can resolve complaints and restore quality of life.

Eleanor Magdaline Conlon 1916 – 2014 Our beloved Nana, Eleanor Magdaline Conlon, passed away peacefully on June 6, 2014. Eleanor was born on August 8, 1916, to Barbara and

Stanley Guokas, Lithuanian immigrants. Eleanor grew up on the family farm in Plainﬁeld, WI, and then moved to Chicago, IL, where she worked for Spiegel. After the start of WWII, Eleanor enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and was stationed in Washington, D.C., where she met and married Joseph Raymond Conlon, the love of her life. Together they raised three children. During these years Eleanor volunteered at the local elementary school and worked for the U.S. Census Bureau. Widowed at a young age, she devoted her remaining years caring for her grandchildren, traveling, doing water aerobics, bargain shopping, serving her community and

practicing her faith. Eleanor is survived by her daughter, Barbara Conlon Boczany; sons, Tom Conlon and Joe Conlon; ten grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and many dear nieces, nephews and cherished friends. We are saddened by the loss of this amazing, strong, smart, talented and loving woman who has so deeply touched all our hearts and taught us to treasure life’s important gifts. We hold her memory in our hearts and we will miss her every day. At Eleanor’s request, a private graveside memorial service will be held in Maryland. Semper Fi. RIP.

DMCV Sharks GU 17 Elite take 2nd national soccer title The Del Mar Carmel Valley Girls U 17 Elite soccer team traveled to Germantown, Md., for a week of National Championship Series games among the top eight teams in their age group in the United States. “The best way to describe this year,” said Coach Felicia Kappes, “is that we have enjoyed a fantastic journey together chasing an incredible and very challenging goal of repeating as National Champions.” This was the last season for this complete team, as six seniors go on to play college soccer in the fall. “Some of these girls have been with me since U12, so every competition was very emotional along the way, knowing this was their last time with us. We had a theme every trip for them — have fun and create even more team memories. Our motto was to ‘Dream Big’ and ‘Believe.’” The Sharks were able to skip the U.S. Regional Championships, having already qualified for the National Championship Series. Coach Felicia decided to have the girls in for an intense week of training camp that in-

cluded all aspects — classroom for the mental toughness course with AST, strength and conditioning with TCTC, and field training. “We had four days with Darcy Lyons from AST in the classroom and completed the mental toughness course,” she said. “Jim Madrid, founder of AST, then came in and completed it with a very special team exercise that U.S. Youth soccer filmed and reported on. It was an incredible week, but probably the most significant change in our preparation was that we felt mentally stronger to handle anything thrown our way at the end of the week.” Monday’s kickoff was a wonderful player’s luncheon and video highlights of the Road to MD for all 96 teams from each of seven age groups of boys and girls. Bracket play began Tuesday. The Sharks opened with a rematch of last year’s Championship game against Kings Hammer. Their mental toughness was challenged in this game with two last-minute goals to tie the game. The other team celebrated as if it were the Championship game, and the Sharks had

to watch that. Right then, they could have put their heads down and been defeated. “We regrouped, focused on the positive that we played really well for 89 minutes, went through a visualization exercise that evening and went on to win the next 4 games,” said Coach Felicia. In the next two days, the Maryland heat and humidity showed up and challenged all the teams’ fitness. The Sharks showed the depth of their bench through different combinations of girls in different positions to win 2-1 and 2-0 respectively over VSA Heat (Virginia) and Maitland Krush (Florida). With each game, the Sharks became stronger and stronger. Each morning they visualized and worked on their affirmations. It was an incredible experience to see the girls developing on a whole body/mind level. “Each game I said, ‘Have fun and put on a show for everyone to see,’” said Coach Felicia. “Well, they did, and we laughed at how they were turning my hair gray because each game was so intense and close. They just smiled at me and said, ‘You said to put on a show for all to enjoy.’” The Sharks’ 2-0-1 record earned the bracket top spot and a place in the semifinals against neighboring club Carlsbad Elite. In the 90th minute, goalie Sydney Wootten came out of her box to thwart a certain game-ending goal by Carlsbad and received a red card, ending her play in the tournament. Play resumed with Melissa Lowder returned in goal and playing one man down as the whistle blew, sending the game into overtime. During two 15-minute periods of overtime in this already very physical game, the Sharks turned to their mental toughness training, digging deep within to finish. Hannah Keogh took the free kick on a penalty. She placed it in the area for Huli De Armas to put the ball in the back of the net. Sharks win 1-0. The Sharks faced VSA Heat in the finals, and they were committed to raising the National Trophy once again. In the first half, the Sharks moved the ball well, connecting passes and showing their skill, but could not find an opening to the net. The Heat defenders were unwilling to allow anything to get through. In the second half, the Heat pressured the defense, but the skilled Sharks repeatedly

stole possession of the ball to move in to scoring opportunities. In the 75th minute, Huli De Armas took a corner kick and with a line drive placed the ball perfectly for Gianna Montini to get her head on the ball, and “GOOOOOAL” 1-0. This sparked the Sharks! They became ferocious in their attack and wore the Heat team down. History was made for the Sharks team as they prevailed as National Champions for the second year in a row. They were the only defending champions in the 2014 tournament. “The key to it all is that we never focused on the result,” said Coach Felicia. “We focused on our team, personal goals and each other. “I have always told them that as long as they perform to the best of their ability that day, that we all could live with whatever the result was, win or lose. I am thrilled they did win, but it was never about that — it was always about having fun and enjoying every precious moment together. The soccer part, their competitive nature, their extreme talent was always going to shine, and so many teams have those same special components. “I believe what makes us so special as a team and club is that we also focus on different values other than just winning. We are family, they love each other like sisters, our parents are extremely close, and we believe this game offers so many important life lessons. In the end, this team is bonded with lifelong memories, and our seniors are leaving on top as back-to-back National Champions and they have made history. It doesn’t get any better than that. “Finally,” she continued, ”coming home to an incredible cheering crowd with banners and noisemakers at the airport that consisted of Shannon McMillian, our board, our families and tons of Sharks players of every age level was the icing on the cake and truly represented everything we are about as a Club and team. It was a very emotional moment for all of us, lots of tears and laughter. To be able to demonstrate who we are on the national level is a blessing, but this group of girls is so deserving because they represent the best of what youth soccer is all about.” Find stories, photos and videos at http:// championships.usyouthsoccer.org.

WATER continued from page 1

general manager Michael Bardin said he believed local water reserves would carry San Diego County through this year without the need for mandatory cuts. But officials with the Santa Fe district and the San Diego County Water Authority — the district’s wholesale water supplier — said the statewide water shortage has worsened over the past six months. “Things have changed and we need to go to the next level,” said Michael Hogan, president of the Santa Fe board of directors. “This is a serious situation. Hopefully, this winter will provide some relief. If this (drought) continues, we’re probably heading toward allocation (also known as water rationing) if we don’t get a good winter.” Hogan pointed to two key factors that have exacerbated the three-year drought conditions during the first half of 2014 — a decision by state officials not to allocate any water from Northern California to Southern California, and record-breaking heat experienced by the state during that period. As a result of hotterthan-normal temperatures this year, demand for water increased and water agencies had to pull more water from their reserves than anticipated, said Jason Foster, director of public outreach and conservation with the San Diego County Water Au-

thority. “The drought has deepened,” Foster said. Those conditions led the water authority board to declare a “drought alert,” its second of four levels of drought response, on Thursday, July 24. That action followed a July 15 decision by the State Water Resources Control Board to require water agencies and their customers to conserve water. During the last drought, from 2009 to 2011, the water authority’s key supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, cut back its water deliveries to San Diego County. While that hasn’t happened yet this year, local water officials will be keeping a close eye on the weather in the coming months, said Foster. “If we get another dry winter, actual cuts to our water supply could come as early as next year,” he said. If the Santa Fe board votes to approve the Level 2 response as expected, the water-use restrictions would take effect around the end of August. Those who don’t comply with the rules face a warning letter, followed by a series of escalating fines for repeated violations, said Jessica Parks, Santa Fe’s public information officer. The fines could reach $500 a day for a fourth violation, she said. The district plans to set up a hotline so residents can report suspected water-use violations, and district staff

will be out in the field monitoring water use, she said. The district also has rebates, incentives and assistance programs to help customers save water, she said. For example, district residents can request a free survey of their property by district staff, who will make recommendations and offer water-saving tips. “We are here to help them in water conservation and being water-efficient,” Parks said. “We want customers to know we are here to help them, not to police them.” The district did not have to fine any residents between 2009 and 2011, the last time water-use restrictions were in place, Parks said. “Everyone complied with the regulations.” For more about the district’s conservation programs, residents can visit www.sfidwater.org/conservation. The news about water supplies isn’t all bad. Hogan and Foster said the desalination plant now under construction on the Carlsbad coast may be in operation by late 2015, providing a “drought-proof” supply equal to 8 percent of the county’s current water needs. The water authority also has invested in additional water storage capacity, such as the raising of the San Vicente Dam in Lakeside, which will allow the capture and storage of more water when Mother Nature does turn on the faucet.

SFID mandatory water use restrictions for Water Shortage Response Level 2 •Stop water waste resulting from inefficient landscape irrigation, such as runoff, low head drainage, or overspray, etc. Similarly, stop water flows onto non-targeted areas, such as adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, hardscapes, roadways, or structures. •Irrigate residential and commercial landscape before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m. only. •Limit residential and commercial landscape irrigation to no more than three (3) assigned days per week on a schedule established by the general manager and posted by the District. •Limit lawn watering and commercial landscape watering to no more than ten (10) minutes per watering station per assigned day.

ACCREDITATION continued from page 4

For the past 34 years, the Main Street Four Point Approach has been used in roughly 2,000 communities, producing $59.6 billion in investment, creating 502,728 jobs and resulting in the rehabilitation of more than 246,158 buildings, according to the National Main Street Center’s website. The Del Mar Village Association has followed the Main Street Four Point Approach for nearly 10 years, which includes building a Main Street framework, promoting the commercial district, evaluating the attractiveness of the business district and revitalizing the local economy. For the first time, however, the association recently applied for accreditation, which was approved in less than a year. In November, the California Main Street Alliance designated the Del Mar Village Association as a California Main Street community. “To be designated as a California Main Street community, and now to achieve this national recognition, is truly wonderful,” said Del Mar Village Association Executive Director Jen Grove, who headed the lengthy application process. “National

accreditation is another tool in our toolbox to help Del Mar Village stay economically vital, bringing in both residents and visitors to compete with the ever-increasing Southern California growth of mega-malls and stores.” The California Main Street Alliance, which works in partnership with the National Main Street Center, evaluates the association’s performance annually to make sure it meets 10 performance standards, which include fostering strong public-private partnerships, securing an operating budget, tracking programmatic progress, and actively preserving historic buildings. One benchmark for the success of a Main Street program is reinvestment in the community’s downtown. In total, the public and private sector reinvestment in the downtown village of Del Mar for 2013 exceeded $3.5 million, according to officials. “A lot of residents think of downtown as their front yard. It’s where you shop, it’s where you meet people, it’s where you bring visitors,” said Grove, a Del Mar native who has headed the association for eight years. “A strong town needs backing. We help market down-

HOUSING continued from page 4 last year to just two so far this school year. “We know instructionally we can create a rigid, structural environment (in combination classes), but it’s still not very popular,” Romero said. “We do it to keep families whole and in their neighborhood school.” Romero said a fifthsixth combination class is one of the least popular, just because of the transition that sixth-graders are going through as they prepare for middle school. The school with the smallest enrollment in the district in the fall is expected to be Del Mar Hills with 335 students. “Ocean Air is our largest

school and historically it has been impacted with enrollment,” said Romero, noting this year that enrollment will drop from 797 to 789 students. “This really ends the reign of high class numbers at Ocean Air.” Similar to Ocean Air, Sage Canyon will also drop from 731 to 684 students. Romero said this trend is because the schools are losing their higher class level cohorts and bringing up smaller cohorts starting at kindergarten. Sage Canyon will have one less kindergarten class this year. Besides Torrey Hills with its enrollment increase from new developments, Sycamore Ridge is the only other school to see a large increase and the school is heavily affected at the firstand fifth-grade levels. At last week’s board meeting, one new district family came to share their disappointment that their child could not get into Sycamore Ridge. “We relocated specifically and solely because of the fantastic schools in this district, and when buying our house, we took into account how close the school was for our youngest, who is in fifth grade,” said parent Dave Beckwith. Beckwith said they bought a home 2 1/2 blocks

from the school with the expectation that their daughter would be able to walk to school, and they were looking forward to the school’s unique offerings, such as the drama program. Unfortunately, the Beckwiths learned recently of the school’s capacity problems, and that their daughter won’t be able to attend Sycamore Ridge. “It is our hope that the over-enrollment and capacity issues at fifth grade can be resolved before the start of school,” Beckwith said. At Sycamore Ridge, there are 61 students in the fifth grade. By contract, the district has to keep class sizes at a maximum of 28:1. “We have to start looking into adding a teacher or creating a combination class to take care of our stakeholders,” Romero said. He said affected families would be notified by the first week of August regarding their school. Since the number of students in question is small, trustee Scott Wooden requested that the district do whatever it can to accommodate the families. “We have always said we like to not displace kids whenever possible,” Wooden said.

Designer Zandra Rhodes named a ‘Dame of the British Empire’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH Damehood — the female equivalent of knighthood — has been awarded to fashion and textile designer Zandra Rhodes, a resident of Del Mar and London. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth bestowed the Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) status upon Rhodes as part of her annual Birthday Honors list. The award recognizes Rhodes’ contributions to the fashion industry and specifically for founding Britain’s Fashion and Textile Museum in London in 2003; for her charitable work as breast cancer ambassador for London’s Mayor Boris Johnson; and for her role as Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts, which has campuses in Kent and Surrey, England. Rhodes received a letter from Britain’s Prime Minister’s office informing her of

the award and inquiring whether she would accept it, “which of course, I did,” said Rhodes. “Then I filled out a form asking what I’d like to be known as, so I chose Dame Zandra Rhodes.” Although Rhodes knew on May 19, the news was kept under wraps until the official release that coincides with the recognition of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth, which is a Saturday in June. (Her actual birthday is April 21, 1926.) The official title will be given to Rhodes, with the DBE medal, at a formal luncheon at Buckingham Palace with a choice of three dates later this summer. “I do hope it will be the Queen giving the honors,” said Rhodes, “but it might be Prince Charles.” Rhodes has designed for the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and continues to dress celebrities, including

Kylie Minogue, Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton. She is renowned in California for her dramatic opera set and costume designs, and is now on the board of the San Diego Opera. She has helped raise $40 million for the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center in La Jolla, including donating artwork for the past 18 years of fundraisers. She has also done numerous charity fashion shows, such as “Go Red For Women,” which raises awareness to help prevent heart disease in women, and more. Some of Rhodes’ closest American friends feted her at a luncheon at La Jolla’s Herringbone Restaurant when the Dameship was made public. Organized by Dixie Unruh and Rachel York, the group of women — Iris Strauss, Erika Torri, Joyce Butler, Sally Stiegler, Marion Ross, Fiona Tudor, Chetna Bhatt and Valerie

Cooper — sported pink wigs in homage to Rhodes’ signature cotton candy-colored bob. “I got there a little early and the waitress complimented me on my hair,” said Unruh, “I explained that it wasn’t my own hair, but a wig. Then Zandra arrived and the same waitress complimented her on her wig, and she said, ‘It’s not a wig, it’s my own hair.’ So we all laughed about that.” Each person around the table mentioned something about Zandra that was special and how she had touched their lives. “To me, she deserves this honor so much, because she not only designs fabulous opera sets and costumes and incredible outfits and dresses, she is so kind to everyone she meets and she is a fabulous cook, despite all the stress and pressure,” said Unruh. On the other side of the pond, Rhodes said that she

will have a celebratory dinner in the penthouse suite of the Fashion and Textile Museum. Her friend Andrew Logan will probably hold a ball in his London glass-house studio, “and probably compulsory crowns will be worn by all,” she added. Rhodes’ fashion collections were the subject of a short documentary that was included in the La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival, held July 24-26. The film was nominated for best costume and best art direction. Despite her fame, Rhodes remains humble and pokes fun at her situation, “Now I’ve got the problem of thinking of a hat and an outfit. It might sound simple, but it’s not,” she joked. “I’ll have to do something very chic, probably a suit rather than a dress.” Photos by Vincent Andrunas. For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a red curtain, velvet rope and props, the community room at Vista Village Senior Living was transformed into a theater July 17. A senior acting group known as The Script-in-Hand Players created the makeshift stage to perform about a dozen short skits for the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents. Longtime group members and Del Mar residents Bud and Mary Ann Emerson were among the actors who performed to applause and laughter, often taking the stage side by side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I enjoy most is when the audience members come up after our performance and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much this meant to us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to see live performances very often and we really appreciate you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Mary Ann Emerson, who joined the group eight years ago, a few years after her husband. Since joining the group, the retired duo has brought laughter through their comedic skits to hundreds of seniors throughout San Diego County.

The Script-in-Hand Players has about two performances almost every month, with three slated for August. Although the scripts are read, the troupeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs are costumed and rehearsed for dramatic effect. Rehearsals take place every Monday at Wesley Palms Retirement Community in Pacific Beach. One of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late members lived at the center, where the troupe not only rehearses, but performs once every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy the rehearsals most,â&#x20AC;? said Bud Emerson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a really tight group.

Alt-rockers Neon Trees betting on ‘a little more pop’ to please fans

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ROB LEDONNE Neon Trees guitarist Chris Allen is outside a dentist office in Lake Elsinore in Riverside County, not far from Murrieta, where he grew up. “We just finished the first leg of our tour, so I’m back home for a bit,” he said. But Allen won’t be home for long, since the band has an album to promote and the next part of their tour coming up Aug. 1 at the Del Mar Racetrack for the Four O’Clock Friday concert series. “We’re excited for that show,” Allen said. “We’ve played there once or twice, and I’ve been to the San Diego County Fair a couple times on my own. We’re plenty familiar with everything (in North County).” For Allen and his bandmates (including vocalist Tyler Glenn), it took a move from Southern California to Provo, Utah, in 2005 to begin a long journey to music stardom. Improbably, Allen moved in order to attend massage school. “I was a masseuse for about a year, pursuing music with Tyler at the same time,” he said. Five years later their debut single, “Animal,” was a No. 1 smash on alternative rock radio in 2010, although Allen is quick to point out that their “success wasn’t overnight. We went through a period of time where we had absolutely no money. If we broke even performing a show, that was a good night. It’s been a long road.” Throughout their rise to fame, Allen (who moved back to Murrieta after hitting it big), hasn’t forgotten his Southern California roots — in fact, it’d be impossible to do so, since the band’s name was inspired in part by legendary burger joint In-N-Out. “When Tyler was in high school, he used to hang out at the In-N-Out burger in Temecula with his friends,” Allen said. “Behind the counter were these neon trees, and that’s where he got the name. Aside from that, growing up I was always hanging out in Oceanside and I would surf at Encinitas. I’d end up down at the beach two to three times a week. One of my favorite places to tour is Sydney, Australia, because it reminds me of San Diego.” Ever since those early days hanging around North County, Neon Trees has cemented its status as a darling of

be a little more pop.” It’s that push further into the pop realm that propels Neon Trees onto radio stations around the world, including today in Lake Elsinore as Allen waits in the car for his wife. “It’s exciting when we hear the new single on the radio,” he says. “Now that I’m home, I need to start listening to the radio more because I wanna hear it. It’s always cool, we crank it up ... that never gets old.” Neon Trees performs at the Del Mar Racetrack on Aug. 1 after the last race. The concert is free with racetrack admission.

Now, the band is attempting to replicate the success of its past material with “Pop Psychology,” its third album which hit shelves in April. “At this point, we feel comfortable with our fan base, and as long as we’re happy with the material, we think it will do well,” Allen said of the stress behind finding hits. “You can’t ever just relax and not worry about putting out a good song, but we’ve gotten to a point where we just try to please ourselves. Overall, we have the right team in place.” It seems their tactic of pleasing themselves is paying off once again, as the group’s latest single, “Sleeping With a Friend,” recently became a top 10 hit on the Billboard Rock and Adult Top 40 Charts. “(That song) is a little different from our past singles,” Allen notes. “By now, everyone knows that’s what Neon Trees sounds like. This time around, we wanted to hit everybody with a different side of us. We normally take the alternative radio approach first, but this time we’re trying to

The story of Johann Sebastian Bach’s ‘Coffee Cantata’ is painted inside the café.

The main dining area of Café Cantata is simple yet quaint.

Café Cantata: A coffee shop and a whole lot more! BY KELLEY CARLSON ig Tree Café owner Johan Engman has branched out with a new restaurant concept. In June, he opened Café Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade, in the space previously occupied by longtime coffeehouse fixture Pannikin. “It’s exciting for me to take over; Pannikin was so well-known,” Engman said. “They did a tremendous job. I hope we can build a nice following.” Like its predecessor, Café Cantata has a cozy “coffeehouse” vibe, although the space has been remodeled with reclaimed wood and brick. There are comforts such as leather couches and plush chairs, and for an eclectic touch, one wall features a beach cruiser positioned so that its wheels comprise the “o”s in the word “food.” Painted on a wall just inside the entrance is an explanation of the eatery’s name, derived from Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Coffee Cantata,” a lighthearted opera about java addiction. Live music from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays further enhances the relaxed atmosphere. To satiate one’s caffeine cravings, there’s everything from mochas to macchiatos, and 100-percent certified organic fair-trade custom blends. Among the specialty beverages is the Iced Cantata Latte, a blend of chai, vanilla and espresso. Another is the C-12, made from coffee that is cold-brewed more than 12 hours at a few drops per second, resulting in 67 percent less acidity but increased caffeine. Café Cantata isn’t just about java, though. Guests can order breakfast or lunch dishes all day long. They can select something as

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly/menurecipes

■ This week’s recipe:

Café Cantata’s Gluten-Free French Toast simple as a muffin and freshly squeezed orange juice, or an entree that’s a bit more complex such as the Baked Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin French Toast, composed of thick slices of bread sprinkled with “optionals” such as powdered sugar and berries, to be drizzled with orange zest syrup served on the side. Eggs are steam-cooked at Café Cantata, meaning there is no oil, butter or margarine. They’re soft and flavorful, and used in entrees such as Vegetarian Soy Chorizo Scramble with tomato, green onions and jack cheese; and Breakfast Burrito stuffed with cheddar, tomato, avocado and a choice of soy chorizo or applewood smoked bacon. Other morning meals include the Smoked

Baked Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin French Toast with powdered sugar, berries and orange zest syrup Salmon Bagel with cream cheese, capers, tomatoes and red onion; oatmeal with brown sugar, fruit and milk (including soy and almond); and Café Cantata Granola, a mix of oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, peanut butter, walnuts, almonds and craisins. Café Cantata’s lunch fare mainly consists of sandwiches, salads and soups. There’s the Turkey Panini with roasted red bell peppers, avocado, mozzarella and garlic aioli on sourdough bread; Seasonal Berry Salad with mixed greens, blueberries, cantaloupe, avocado, red onion, feta and cranberry vinaigrette; and Dale’s Kale Salad with goat cheese, craisins, julienned apples, walnuts and citrus vinaigrette that finely balances flavors and textures.

‘America’s Finest Film Festival’ returns Aug. 2 to San Diego BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego likes to think of itself as America’s finest city. During the second America’s Finest Film Festival on Aug. 2, it will certainly be the most featured city, with the focus on films created by San Diegans, filmed in San Diego or about San Diego. And held in San Diego. “We’re getting people excited about living in San Diego by showcasing the beauty and diversity of our region,” said Jonathan Zaidman, executive director of Camaraderie developed at The 1to1 The 1to1 Movement, which hosts the festi- Movement events like the Film Festival val. help connect people to conservation. Launched in 2012, the 1to1 Move- COURTESY PHOTO ment aims to connect people to conservation through education, campaigns and community engagement. Zaidman co-founded the San Diego-based organization with Amanda Tatum, the nonprofit’s director of education. In the past two-and-a-half years, the organization has reached more than 12,000 students in San Diego County through its educational programs, Zaidman said. From classroom presentations to after-school programs, the nonprofit visits K-12 students across the region to promote environmental sustainability. The 1to1 Movement also leads campaigns to promote positive change in the community. The Last Straw Campaign encourages bars and restaurants to provide straws only upon request. It also encourages consumers not to use straws. “This is a really simple introduction into conservation that anyone can take part in,” Zaidman said. “We’re really adopting comprehensive conservation measures that people can jump into right away.” Last, the nonprofit engages the community through its annual events. In addition to Film Fest, The 1to1 Movement hosts an annual art show that features artists who use repurposed materials. “Our key focus is to create the cleanest, greenest, healthiest and most vibrant community,” Zaidman said. Nearly 500 people attended the inaugural Film Fest last August. This year’s festival will showcase 20 short films, as well as a Maker’s Fair, featuring jewelry, clothes, furniture and more crafted by San Diego artisans. A reception will be held between screenings, featuring Karl Strauss beer, wine, cocktails and local food. The 1to1 Movement’s America’s Finest Film Festival will take place from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 2 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, 5775 Morehouse Drive in San Diego. Tickets cost $14 in advance and $18 at the door. Visit 1to1movement.org.

Jurors pick 43 SD artists for new Athenaeum show FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS 43 artists were selected for the Athenaeum’s 23rd annual Juried Exhibition on view in the Joseph Clayes III and Rotunda galleries, Aug. 2-30 at 1008 Wall St. The free, public opening for the show is 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1. At the reception, jurors Sally Yard (Professor of Art History, University of San Diego) and Derrick Cartwright (Director of University Galleries and Professor of Art History, University of San Diego) will award the first, second and third place honors. The jurors selected the show’s 43 participants from some 1,100 images submitted by 220 artists. “The challenge of picking the works for the Athenaeum’s juried exhibition was especially great this year,” said Cartwright. “Sally and I opted to select images that struck us as coherent approaches to contemporary problems in representation through a wide variety of media. Technical accomplishment was important, but so was a willingness to take risks and find new excitement in common things. “I was especially drawn to works that demonstrated an appreciation of art history without resorting to imitation. “In the end, I hope the works on display both carry a conviction about the importance of contemporary practices in our common culture and offer the Athenaeum’s public a broad array of challenging choices.” The show — open only to artists who live, work or have exhibited in San Diego — provides a platform for them to receive exposure and draw inspiration from peers. Acceptable submissions included 2-D and 3-D media, with the exception of functional or craft art. All submissions were completed within the past five years. Participating artists: Nina Preisendorfer Baker, Warren Bakley, Stephanie Bedwell, Gregory M. Brown, Paul Craig, Annette Cyr, Kathi George with Bill Kelly (Doug Regel Rome Editions), Douglas Dow, Peter Fay, Kaori Fukuyama, Peter Geise, Jim Graham, Renetta Happé, Therese Cipiti Herron, Sean Hnedak, Donna Knierim, Portia Krichman, Carolyn LaFrance, James Lasry, Nancy Lee, Richard T.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS High Bluff Academy expands electives for fall BY KATHY DAY Imagine a high school where students check their egos at the door and where students take care of each other. Better yet, imagine a school where students flourish and enjoy learning. That, says Jill Duoto, is what you’ll find at High Bluff Academy, a fully accredited high school housed in the center of an office park in Carmel Valley. Duoto, the school’s principal, founded HBA as a tutoring and test prep center in 2002 with her husband, Michael. But as they listened to students and parents seeking a better way of learning, they expanded to offer a college prep, high school curriculum as well as a 13th year — a pre-college year — for students not quite ready to tackle college. They also continue their specialized tutoring and test classes, through summer school (classes start Aug. 4), afterschool and weekend programs. Meanwhile, HBA’s expansion continues this fall with more electives, from French and Mandarin to computer science classes, and more clubs to meet the individualized needs of its students, who come from the surrounding communities as well as from around the world. Some are students at neighboring schools who come for classes that don’t fit their public school schedules or because they need a flexible schedule to accommodate competitive sports or career aspirations. All courses meet or exceed University of California and California State University standards, and while standard classes help fill gaps in knowledge, Honors and AP classes challenge the advanced students. Too often, Duoto said, parents don’t recognize problems their youngsters might be having as they transition to

High Bluff Academy’s expansion continues this fall with more electives, from French and Mandarin to computer science classes, and more clubs to meet the individualized needs of its students. Courtesy photo high school, which requires more independence than middle school. Then the youngsters find themselves in a “big intimidating environment” and don’t ask for help or don’t know where to turn. “They are overwhelmed academically,” she added. “A lot of times, the issues can be social or emotional, such as the drama of jockeying for position in the social hierarchy of a big school.” Some students, such as those with learning disabilities or ADD, might be overcome by the extra stimulation and

distractions of a large school. But at HBA, where classes are small and teachers know each student, she said, “the feeling of being overwhelmed goes away; there’s a sense of relief.” That new feeling “boils down to knowing they belong, that people care, that they can learn at their level and their own pace.” When a student says, “Hey, I need help,” it is there in the form of tutoring that is built into the school day, with after-school homework sessions and small groups. And with the small student body, teachers and administrators can act quickly to respond to the students’ energy — or lack of same. Duoto said at the end of the school year when distraction tends to set in, a kayaking outing was planned on short notice and the staff “created additional field trips to keep the kids motivated.” As the school matures, it has added a community service coordinator to match students’ interests to outside projects, and has given a teacher added responsibility as activities coordinator. The administrators are also enlisting more parent involvement in helping with field trips. While expanding programs is essential to High Bluff’s future, Duoto said the underlying goal is to see students flourish. “I like seeing kids that are happy going to school.” The school is at 12707 High Bluff Drive, Suite 150, Carmel Valley; call 858-509-9101; visit www.highbluffacademy. com.

Del Mar Rotary Club honors TPHS student Charlie Poole The Rotary Club of Del Mar presented the Erik Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self Award to Torrey Pines High School student Charlie Poole at its July 24 meeting held at Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar. The award is presented to a Torrey Pines High School student who, though physically challenged, is an inspiration to fellow students because of his/her positive approach to life and readiness to volunteer, capturing the spirit and principles of Rotary. Charlie’s school counselor wrote the following about Charlie: “Charlie came to Torrey Pines as a shy, hesitant boy and has grown into an outgoing, confident young man. Charlie is well known on the Torrey Pines campus and is involved in many extra-curricular activities. He has been the girls volleyball manager and number one fan for the last four years and has done an amazing job. Charlie does not allow his disability to hold him back and has become an active member of his school and community. Charlie comes to school with a smile on his face every day which is contagious to all. He has a great sense of humor and loves to make other people laugh. Charlie enjoys life to its fullest and finds pleasure in the simplest things.” Photos by Jon Clark. For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

Or have you gone through menopause over ten years ago and think there is no need or benefit in HRTs? Do you think, or have you been told that these symptoms are just an expected sign of aging? How many of you see an eye doctor and ask to have the vision of a 70-year-old, when understandably we’d all like to have the vision of a 30-year-old? Why should treating hormone deficiencies be any different? Bio-identical hormone therapy may reduce cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, hot flashes and many other conditions previously thought to be normal signs of aging. Did you know many of the concerns associated with HRTs have been linked to synthetic hormones Premarin and Provera (medroxyprogesterone) – NOT bioidentical hormones?

Results of a French twelve-year study of 80,000 women showed NO increased cancer risk in women using bio-identical estrogen and progesterone therapies when compared to women using no hormones. Women using bioidentical HRT may enjoy relief from many of the pre/post-menopausal symptoms, both minor and major, once dosing of each hormone is in proper balance. Starting as early as your late 20’s and through to your late 40’s, females can start to significantly reduce the production of progesterone compared to estrogen, leading to what is known as “Estrogen Dominance.” Symptoms can include: UÊ ÀÀi}Õ >ÀÊ i ÃiÃÊUÊ Ã >ÊUÊ Ài>ÃÌÊ/i ìÀ iÃÃÊ UÊ `Ê-Ü }ÃÊUÊ ÌÊ >Ã iÃÊUÊ V iÊ UÊ7i } ÌÊ > Ê vÊ «ÃÊ> `Ê/ } ÃÊUÊ }À> iÃÊ We urge those who are seeking information or just curious about what HRTs can do for them to call or come into Carmel Valley Pharmacy and speak with our staff. Many retail pharmacies don’t compound, so many patients are often times unaware of how compounded medication like HRTs can improve quality of life. For many, becoming educated can be the first step in a positive, life-improving direction. As society moves forward in scientific achievements it is time to throw out old ways of thinking and embrace new medical approaches that may allow us to live our lives to the fullest.

Hammer Prep In The Spotlight for Rotary Ethics Awards The Rotary Club of Del Mar is pioneering a new program, the “4-Way Ethics in Business Awards”, to recognize and promote the businesses that share the same values that Rotarians uphold for honest, professional and moral service. Each week, Del Mar Rotarians gather for lunch and recite their “4-Way Test” which includes the questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneﬁcial for all concerned? Finding a business that truly relies on these types of questions in their daily decision-making and operations is a special task. Each month the Del Mar Rotary Club will select one business to spotlight as part of its Ethics in Business Awards program. This month the club acknowledges the good and special work of Hammer Prep. An education services company in Sorrento Valley, Hammer Prep is built on the values of empathy, clarity, and efﬁciency. Founder and CEO Andrew Hemmerich, a resident of Solana beach, states, “Every student learns differently, so every student should be taught differently. Our one-on-one tutoring model lets us pinpoint exactly what’s best for every student, so our clients get the absolute most for their time and money.” Hammer’s rigorous hiring and nurturing processes ensure that their employees are experts who genuinely care about their clients’ satisfaction; they build close working relationships that are both productive and rewarding. Hemmerich goes on to explain that the college prep process is rife with ambiguity and misinformation. Before a student sits down with one of their tutors -- and before the family pays a cent -- they consult with parents for as long as necessary to tackle their every question and concern. And if Hammer employees ever feel that their services aren’t the best option for a family, they don’t hesitate to guide the family elsewhere. “We do what’s best for the student,” Hemmerich says, and Hammer Prep’s adherence to this credo has made them both ethical and successful. Hammer Prep is located at 11526 Sorrento Valley Rd, San Diego, CA 92121, and the website is www.hammerprep.com.

In addition to the Del Mar Rotary’s Ethics in Business Award ceremony set for October 30th at 11am to 1pm at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, listings on the EBA website and media spotlights, the Del Mar Rotary club will be reaching out to the youth in our community (junior high, high school and college), getting businesses involved to participate in educational events and in some cases offer internships for the college level. The Del Mar Rotary club wants to thank Hammer Prep for their participation and the awards program sponsors, Steigerwald-Dougherty Inc. and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, for their involvement, support and time to help promote ethical business in our community. If you have a business, or know of a business, you’d like to nominate for an award, please email eba2014@delmarrotaryeba.com. Visit www.delmarrotaryeba.com for more information.

Butter Me Up! Spread the word, our ol’ pal is back! The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “If you’re afraid of butter, use cream.” — Julia Child Nothing melts in your mouth like creamy, dreamy butter. Think: a crusty piece of garlic toast slathered in salty butter or a light and airy croissant; shrimp scampi swimming in a sea of white wine and butter; a tender lobster tail dunked in a ramekin of clarified liquid gold. After being maligned for more than a decade and given a lengthy “time out,” the golden boy is back.

Here’s why: Chef’s Choice Butter is the cream from cows, goats or sheep that has been agitated or churned until it separates into buttermilk and semisolid butter with 80-percent milkfat content by weight. Most chefs adore butter since it makes their dishes taste divine. They were guilt-tripped into putting the pad on sabbatical for allegedly causing obesity, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. After some serious gustatory rethinking, the culinary community is bringing butter back — mindfully though — from pampered grass-fed cows with a side order of standing advice: moderation. Boons of Butter Butter, unlike its synthetic sibling margarine, does not contain artificial trans fats. Organic grass-fed cows’ butter is a good source of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins, including A, D, E and precious K2 for skin

and ocular health, along with boosting brain, hormonal and immune functions, hiking up bone density and putting the skids on fractures. There’s more. Packed with the 4-carbon fatty acid butyrate (which derives its name from butter) the power spread provides anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties along with a protective effect on the digestive system. It’s also rich in conjugated linoleum acid (CLA), a mighty fatty acid with anti-cancer properties and the ability to speed up metabolism and lower the percentage of body fat. Finally, butter seduces the palate, fuels the body and comforts the soul. Ghee Whiz Ghee, a type of clarified butter that originated in India, is free of common dairy allergens along with the milk sugar lactose, hydrogenated oils, additives, preservatives and trans fats. Ghee is also a digestive aid and

helps heal the gut lining. The special fats in ghee dial up the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals from other foods and drinks, boosting the immune system. Low dairy and moisture content, ghee has a long shelf life along with a high smoke point, so it doesn’t burn easily like traditional butters. Cream of the Crop The two main types of butter produced in this country are sweet cream and cultured cream, the former including lightly salted, unsalted and whipped. Lightly salted is ideal for allpurpose cooking from sautéing vegetables and fish to savory sauces. Unsalted is a baker’s favorite for flaky pie crusts, luscious cakes, quick breads and pastries with scrumptious taste and texture. Whipped butter is lighter in texture and calories, and is delightfully spreadable. Rich European-style cultured butter made from cultured cream is churned longer than other butters, producing less moisture and higher butterfat content.

This gives cultured butter a more intense flavor ideal for baking. Stick It to Me Two tablespoons of butter have about 8 grams of fat, even less if whipped. Thirty percent is monounsaturated, the same proportion of fat as in olive oil. One pound of butter represents the amount of cream churned from nearly 11 quarts of milk.

The color of butter is determined by the cow’s diet. The more beta-carotene consumed from grass and hay, the more yellow the hue. During the Middle Ages butter was colored naturally with marigold flowers. Today some creameries still add color to enhance the aesthetic appeal. One pound of butter measures 2 cups. Each stick is 1/4 pound or 1/2 cup.

Whipped Mango Butter Ingredients 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup ripe mango, finely chopped 4 tablespoons honey, orange blossom or chestnut Pinch of sea salt Cayenne pepper to taste (optional) Method: In a mixing bowl using a wooden spoon cream butter with honey, mango and seasonings. Transfer to a large ramekin, cover and chill. Concoct a zippy spread to enliven savory dishes by substituting orange or lemon zest for the mango.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

Ford 2013 Escape Recall Information: Consumer Info & Recommended Steps Owners of the latest 2013 Ford Escape crossovers are urged to take the next steps to prevent accident and injury following the automaker’s latest recall. According to New York Times, Ford is recalling about 140,000 vehicles in the United States because of a potential ﬁre hazard. The manufacturer has indicated the Escape’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine may be to blame for 13 recent auto ﬁres that prompted the recall. Other export markets including Canada may also be affected. According to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, an additional 21,000 cars are being recalled internationally in addition to the recall in the U.S.

Ford explained the recall was voluntarily issued due to concerns over cracks in the engine during possible overheating of the cylinder head. Cracking could lead to leaked oil and a possible fire in the presence of high-heat surfaces. Although no personal injury has been reported, 13 vehicles were ignited into flames after suspected cracking within the engine components. Ford aims to fix the problem by enhancing “the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.” Owners of all 2013 Ford Escapes are urged to visit an authorized dealer to inquire on recall repairs. According the auto manufacturer’s site, some 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes thought to have undergone repair may still produce fuel leaks which could pose a fire hazard. An additional 2,300 vehicles in Canadian and export markets are additionally recalled. More information on the recall can be found here. NEXT STEPS: STAY SAFE & FOLLOW UP ON RECALL REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY Ford says the recall is voluntary, but that’s not to be confused with voluntary repair.

In this sense, Ford’s voluntary recall means the company was not forced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue the recall. All consumers, however, should know that recall repairs are urged to be completed as soon as possible and are therefore not voluntary. To ensure your safety, please make sure to: 1. Contact Ford Immediately If you’re at all unsure whether your vehicle is affected, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and provide your Vehicle Identification Number to receive more information. Alternatively, Ford owners can log onto http://FordOwner. com or by clicking here to find recall information. 2. Schedule Repairs To avoid any risk of fires, you must complete your repairs as quickly as possible. Most authorized Ford dealerships or repair stations will complete your recall repair free of charge. It’s important to contact Ford to find out which locations can service your vehicle for free. 3. Report Any Additional Problems Consumers should notify the auto manufacturer when any additional problems arise. Even if the issue is small

– say, loose hubcaps or a trunk that won’t stay shut – it’s important to report the malfunction right away. Lives are saved when consumers are proactive. 4. Register Your Vehicle for Future Recalls Owners of Ford vehicles and all other manufacturers are urged to register their vehicles and other commonly used household items, equipment or machinery at Recalls.gov. Benefits of registering include quick notification in the event of new or additional recalls, ongoing updates and any additional information pertaining to relevant recalls. Consumers can even register to receive recall information about foods, medicines, toys, furniture, personal care, cosmetics and other consumer products.

Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe opens new season with pop, opera, Broadway BY GAIL KENDALL, PRESIDENT, CCRSF Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe’s 2014-15 season is just around the corner and tickets are now available. As usual, all concerts will be held at the newly renovated Fellowship Hall of the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. The Community Concerts season kicks off in a spectacular fashion Sept. 19 with the exciting new pop-opera star Fernando Varela. He has been described as “Pavarotti at 21.” He handles the operatic arias with beautiful ease. Varela has been mentored by the best in opera, including Placido Domingo. However, he is equally comfortable with country, pop, and Broadway. His artistry has been described as a gift from God, with humility and a good work ethic. Catch him live and be ready to be moved by his amazing captivating voice: www.fernandovarela.com. Quality entertainment continues with Susan Egan on Oct. 24. Susan is a veteran of the Broadway stage, having starred in the title role of “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” winning critical acclaim as Broadway’s longest-running Sally Bowles in “Cabaret,” and, most notably, has received both Tony Award and Drama Desk nominations for Best Actress as the original Belle in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” Egan starred alongside Carol Burnett in Sondheim’s “Putting It Together,” and with Tommy Tune in the national tour of “Bye Bye Birdie.” Susan left Broadway for a while to raise two young daughters. She’s adorable, her voice and stage presence beyond fantastic. Going into 2015 we present Alex DePue with Miguel DeHoyos on Jan. 23. With DeHoyos on classical guitar, DePue, a world-renowned violinist/fiddler, leads the duo through an array of styles — classical, bluegrass, and rock — with blazing virtuosity and emotion. They have a supercharged, accessible, genre-crossing repertoire. Together, they produce an unparalleled sound — music that can speak to anyone’s soul. The fun element cranks up a notch with Good Company on Feb. 27 to close out our Subscriber Series on a great high. Enjoy the definitive sounds of NYC-NashvilleDetroit-L.A. Vintage hits are performed seamlessly alongside fresh, original material. It’s iconic American roots music for the 21st century, backed by a dynamic four-piece rhythm

Willis Allen Real Estate to host ‘Tweet Chat’ on July 31 Willis Allen Real Estate is hosting its first “tweet chat” on Twitter Thursday, July 31, from 6-7 p.m. Twitter users can follow Willis Allen on the social media platform at @ WARE1914, as well as, follow the hashtag #WillisAllenChat to participate in Thursday’s “tweet chat.” A tweet chat is a live, virtual event that is moderated and focused around a general topic. A hashtag or octothorpe is used (in this case #WillisAllenChat) to filter all of the chatter on Twitter into a single conversation. The discussion topic for the hour-long conversation will be “Hosting the Perfect Summer BBQ.” There will be a different question asked every 15 minutes over the course of the hour. Followers will be asked to share their go-to BBQ hotspots around San Diego, favorite summer BBQ recipes, best games to keep the party going and preferred party playlists. At the end of the chat there will be a trivia question with a $25 Amazon gift card prize for one lucky participant. “Once again Willis Allen is on the cutting edge of technology and marketing,” says Willis Allen Real Estate’s President and Owner Andrew E. Nelson. “We might be a 100-year-old company, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our finger on the pulse of the most progressive ways to engage with our clients, and this is just another example of that.” Nelson adds that this is just the first of many such tweet chat events that Willis Allen will host over the coming months. “We’ve made knowing San Diego inside and out our business, and we want to share our favorite tips and ideas with our clients,” Nelson says. “#WillisAllenChat will be a place to learn more about the great city of San Diego and to discover its little-known secrets. And because beautiful homes are our passion, we’ll also feature special chats on interior design and inspiring home design tips and ideas.” To make the chats even more comprehensive, the company is partnering with local businesses to offer expert opinions and insider advice on all things San Diego.
