Del Mar Superintendent McClurg gets raise, new contract

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) has signed Superintendent Holly McClurg on through 2017 with a new contract approved on July 24. McClurg also received a raise — she will now earn $170,000 a year, up from her 2012 pay of $158,500 a year. “We’re absolutely thrilled with the work that the superintendent has done,” said DMUSD Board of Trustees President Doug Rafner. Trustee Doug Perkins said the board went through a very thorough process, looking locally and statewide at comparable districts’ salaries. He said McClurg started off at a much lower salary than typical and her new salary is still on the lower end of the scale. He said the increase in salary is not only to bring McClurg up to where she should be, but is a reflection of a job well done since 2012 and a very positive board evaluation.

Board approves purchase of new Chromebooks for Del Mar school district BY KAREN BILLING Six of the eight Del Mar Union School District campuses will have Chromebooks for every child in fourth, fifth and sixth grades in the fall as the board approved the purchase of 784 devices at its July 24 meeting. The cost approved for the devices was $206,976.

Narcotics arrests made in July BY KAREN BILLING With school out for summer, Carmel Valley’s Northwestern Division’s juvenile services officers have been reassigned as crime suppression officers and the new assignment resulted in several narcotics arrests in July. According to Natalie Hone, community relations officer, officers were able to arrest six adults for narcotics, including 200 Xanax pills, heroin, marijuana and other prescription drugs. The officers also made eight juvenile arrests in July for tobacco, curfew violations, marijuana and alcohol. “They’re being pretty proactive and it should be showing up in crime statistics,” said Hone, noting many area burglaries are drug-related. “We’re really battling narcotics up here with that team.”

San Dieguito River Valley seat to be added to CV planning board BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted July 25 in favor of adding a new seat to the board to give a representing voice for the remaining city jurisdiction areas in the San Dieguito River Valley and Sub-Area II community. The area includes Flower Hill Promenade; communities along Via de la Valle, such as Santa Fe Downs; and neighborhoods around the San Diego Polo Field and Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, south of San Dieguito Road and west of Rancho Diegueno Road. “For many years we were the default planning group for those areas because there was no planning group for those areas,” board chair Frisco White said. “This is not so much a land grab, it’s just officially being recognized as the planning group for those areas and having a resident become a part of the process.” The map for the new area will need to be finalized and the board will need to revise its bylaws to be approved by the San Diego City Council. The planning board chair would appoint someone who meets the necessary qualifications to serve on the new seat initially and then an election for the seat would be held in March.

Break-in reported at Sage Canyon School BY MEGAN TEVRIZIAN AND R. STICKNEY, NBC NEWS SAN DIEGO A break-in at Sage Canyon Elementary School in Carmel Valley early July 30 was the fourth in a string of school burglaries this month. Sage Canyon School on Harvest Run Drive was burglarized overnight, however, officials would not reveal what was stolen. The school’s alarm first went off at 1:01 a.m.. When officers arrived at 1:19 a.m., they believe they interrupted the burglary as it was taking place. At least three other schools in the North County have been burglarized. Rancho Diegueno Country School at 15663 Circo Diegueno Road in the Rancho Santa Fe area was burglarized between July 1 to 4. Someone broke into Ocean Air Elementary School at 11444 Canter Heights Drive in Carmel Valley on July 8. Officials are also investigating the theft of equipment at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School at 6570 El Apajo in Fairbanks Ranch on July 11. In the three previous school burglaries, Apple computers were stolen. Officials aren’t saying if the recent burglaries are related. In 2012, six schools in North County were targeted in similar burglaries, where thieves broke through windows and stole iPads. The suspects – who were part of a gang – were eventually captured and arrested.

Carmel Valley 5K moves to January The second annual Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run benefiting the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) has moved from December to Jan. 25, 2014. The race fell on the same day as the Dec. 8 Iron Girl 10K and 5K at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and to maximize the amount of runners participating, race organizer Katie Wilsey opted to move the date to January. The 5K course will remain the same as last year; starting at Carmel Del Mar School and running on the SR-56 CVREP trail. The Kid’s Fun Run will be a one-mile course on the Carmel Del Mar campus. New this year, runners will receive a technical tee. Last year’s inaugural race raised over $38,000 for DMSEF and the foundation hopes to do even better this year. During registration, Wilsey is keeping tabs on the participation rates from each DMUSD school. The school with the highest percent of race registration (including friends and families) takes home a trophy. The 2012 winner was Carmel Del Mar — so far Del Mar Heights is in first place, followed by Ashley Falls and Carmel Del Mar. To register, visit carmelvalley5K.com

The event, which was held from July 14-21, included about 240 participants, 240 jury members, and observers with a total of 60 delegations from all over the world. Team USA won four gold medals. Catherine said, “I’m truly delighted that I received a gold medal, and I’m also extremely happy for all of my teammates, who also did very well.” The International Biology Olympiad (IBO) is the annual World Championship Biology Competition for high school students. The first academic international Olympiads were launched under the auspices of the United Nations in the 1960s. The programs have expanded gradually to include over 70 countries across five continents.

Local nonprofit builds school in Africa BY KRISTINA HOUCK At just 3 years old, Karen can sing the French national anthem. When her father comes home from work, she greets him with, “Bonjour, papa!” Karen’s father, Theodore, is amazed his daughter is learning how to speak and read French at such a young age, said Agnes Barrelet, executive director of Hands United for Children. Karen and 35 other children are able to count and recite poems in French because of the Rancho Santa Febased nonprofit. French is the official language of Burkina Faso, and understanding the language is necessary for children to succeed in school in the West African country. That’s why Hands United for Children is building a preschool for children in Sapone, a town located 30 miles south of the country’s capital, Ouagadougou. “Children are going to school for the first time at 6 or 7 years old, and they speak a dialect, not French,” Barrelet said. “It’s very hard for them to learn what they have to learn and learn the language at the same time. The idea of the preschool is to actually get them to learn the language prior to learning whatever they have to learn in first grade, so the children are more developed.” Hands United for Children raised $50,000 in 2012 to begin construction on Sapone’s first preschool. The first classroom, restrooms, kitchen and playground were completed last summer. In late June, Barrelet visited the school’s first class, which included 36 children ages 3-5. She also launched construction of the second classroom and lunch area by laying the first handmade brick. “It was just amazing,” said Barrelet, who has been executive director since June 2011. “Everybody there really wanted to show that they are doing what they are expected to do. The kids were very polite and showed me they could count to 17 in French. The teachers were so happy to show me the curriculum.” For 11 days, Barrelet visited with the students, who she said all wanted to hug her and hold her hands. She brought school supplies and gave each of the children a teddy bear. The Rancho Santa Fe resident also met with village representatives and the parents of the children. A few of the parents who were able to speak French thanked Barrelet for providing a “safe haven” for their children so they could work. “By providing an education for the children, we also help their family to survive,” Barrelet said. “The preschool was designed because we wanted the moms to go back to work sooner instead of keeping their kids home until they are 6 years old. Now they have the ability to take their kids to school starting at 3 years old.” In addition to learning French songs and poems, students learn hygiene, colors, numbers and shapes. The school

also provides lunch for the children, which is funded by Hands United for Children and the students’ parents. “The parents are motivated and feel like they are participating in the adventure,” Barrelet said. An entirely volunteerdriven organization, Hands United for Children was founded in 2006 to provide education, shelter, health and individual welfare to underprivileged children. “The organization is small,” said Barrelet, who is the nonprofit’s primary donor. “We are only volunteers. I try to keep the costs down so all the money that we raise goes to the programs.” The $80,000 preschool will feature three classrooms when construction is completed in 2014. In addition to building the school in Sapone, Hands United for Children is currently raising funds and recruiting volunteers so O’Farrell Charter School in San Diego can open a health clinic. “I really wanted to give back, and I always wanted to do something for the health and education of children,” Barrelet said. “I’m blessed to be doing this. “Hopefully, our organization will grow and people will get to know us so we’ll have more funds and impact in San Diego and around the world.” For more information about Hands United for Children and to donate to the organization’s projects, visit www.handsunited4children.org.

CCA graduate participates in Student Leaders Program BY KRISTINA HOUCK Carmel Valley resident Suzanne “Suzy” Eiffert will complete her first internship before she even begins college. As part of the 2013 Bank of America Student Leaders Program, Eiffert participated in a week-long summit in Washington, D.C. and is spending the rest of her summer as an intern for a local nonprofit. A recent graduate of Canyon Crest Academy, Eiffert was one of five San Diego-area high school students selected to take part in the program, which awarded 225 high school juniors and seniors from around the country with a trip to the nation’s capital and a paid eight-week summer internship at a nonprofit organization. Eiffert, 18, is interning at Community HousingWorks, a San Diego-based nonprofit that offers affordable housing, financial classes and coaching services, loans and other community programs. During her internship, Eiffert has developed activities and events for the Running Readers program, which aims to improve literacy skills in children. Running Readers is one of several programs offered at the organization’s 17 rental communities. “I get to work both in the office and with kids all across San Diego,” Eiffert said. “It’s fascinating to see how you can create something and then see it happen with the kids.” Although this is Eiffert’s first job and internship, she

Suzy Eiffert in Washington D.C. Courtesy photo received some training while attending the Bank of America Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., from July 8-13. Summit activities included a service learning project and a series of interactive workshops, including Capitol Hill briefings and sessions on financial education and leadership development skills. “It was nice to meet other kids from across the U.S. who were passionate about serving their community and giving back,” said Eiffert, who noted her favorite summit activities were the briefings and national monument tours. “I learned a lot about leadership, government and how important it is to serve your community.” Eiffert is an active volunteer in the community. For six years, she was a member of National Charity League, a mother-daughter membership organization that serves communities across the country. As a junior in high school, she began volunteering weekly at the Helen Bernardy Center for Medically Fragile Children at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Her volunteer experience at the hospital inspired her to create the Helen Bernardy Center Club at school, which encouraged her peers to volunteer at the center. “I think that there’s so many issues in the community that with a little bit of everyone’s help, they can be solved so easily,” Eiffert said. “It’s important to give back and help out any way you can.” Eiffert, who plans to study math and Spanish at University of Puget Sound in the fall, encourages communityminded high school juniors and seniors to apply for the Student Leaders Program next year. “It is an amazing opportunity, and I think everyone should apply to it if they can,” she said. “I’m so grateful to Bank of America for all that they’ve done for us. It was an incredible experience.”

Voices for Children (VFC), a private, nonprofit organization serving foster children with volunteer advocates, recently announced the election of 11 new members to the Board of Directors, including Del Mar resident Stephanie Bergsma. All members began their two-year terms on July 1, 2013. The VFC Board now has 25 members; the CAC also has 25. Rochelle Bold remarked, “I am honored and delighted to welcome these 11 distinguished San Diegans to our Board of Directors, and look forward to working with them in the coming year. Voices for Children has had a remarkable trajectory over the past five years, during which time the budget has doubled from $2.5 million to $4.9 million. “But we still have more work to do. To achieve our Serve Every Child vision, which requires an annual budget of $6 million, we must continue to grow the organization, and I am confident that with the addition of these individuals to our team, we will be successful. We are all dedicated to making sure that the more than 5,000 children living in

Former local mortgage broker charged with fraud BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A former Rancho Santa Fe mortgage broker was behind bars in Northern California July 25 following his arrest for allegedly running a bank fraud scheme for years while operating in San Diego County. Federal investigators took 56-year-old Donald V. Totten into custody at his Oakland home on July 24 on a warrant out of U.S. District Court in San Diego, according to the FBI. Totten allegedly obtained $2.2 million in mortgage loans using false information and siphoned off hundreds of thousands of dollars from the sale of properties while operating a brokerage business in his former hometown. From about 2002 until 2007, Totten operated under the business names Integrated Home Loans, Integrated Lending, Money World, Island Financial and Little Angels Living Trust, among others, soliciting borrowers by advertising on television in and around San Diego and elsewhere, according to the FBI. In or around early 2006, he arranged a series of real-estate transactions with a Chula Vista property owner who was struggling to make his mortgage payments, according to court papers. In a complicated set of transactions, Totten first entered into a partnership with an investor from Carlsbad, promising to share the costs of maintenance of properties and then split the proceeds from an eventual resale, according to investigators. To purchase the real estate, Totten allegedly employed a straw buyer — his investor’s girlfriend — who never intended to live in the properties despite certifications to the contrary on her loan applications, prosecutors allege. In addition to providing significant down payments from his own funds, Totten

allegedly falsified the straw buyer’s loan applications and, among other things, inflated her income and assets in order to induce the financial institutions to grant the mortgages. Totten and his loan processor, who worked for his brokerage business Money World, then allegedly sent false supporting documents to the mortgage lenders to bolster the bogus claims in the loan applications. The complaint further charges Totten with purchasing four homes for the same straw buyer simultaneously by intentionally failing to disclose to each lender that the borrower was in the process of buying multiple properties. Totten earned large commissions from the transactions and secretly arranged for the proceeds to be sent directly to his own bank accounts as kickbacks, according to the charging documents. He allegedly concealed his receipt of the payments from the lenders by directing them to Island Financial, a company he controlled, taking in almost $192, 000 in kickbacks alone from the four sales. According to the complaint, after the sales closed, Totten had the straw buyer sign over the deeds to the properties to a trust that he controlled, effectively obtaining ownership. Eventually, however, each of the four mortgages defaulted and the properties were foreclosed. The lenders and secondary mortgage purchasers, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, suffered losses as a result of the foreclosures, authorities said. The charges stem from an ongoing criminal investigation conducted by the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and Federal Housing Finance Agency, Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego.

Bicoastal architect William Georgis celebrates release of retrospective book BY PAT SHERMAN “I love to shock,” says local- and New York City-based architect William Georgis in a recently published retrospective of his exterior and interior spaces. And shock Georgis does — as evidenced by the arresting imagery in “Make It Fabulous: The Architecture and Designs of William T. Georgis” (Monacelli Press, $50). The book showcases an array of his high-end residential projects (several including eccentrically-appointed panic rooms), as well as galleries, restaurants and commercial spaces he’s designed (inside and out) through the years. The book concludes with a section on architect William Lumpkins’ 1955 modernist La Jolla home, which Georgis purchased and redesigned several years ago with longtime partner Richard Marshall (a former curator of contemporary art at the Whitney Museum in New York City). Lumpkins (1909-2000), who began his career as an architect and painter in Santa Fe, N.M., and spent a decade living in the La Jolla house, is perhaps best known locally for designing the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library’s trademark rotunda building and the historic University House at UC San Diego (originally owned by William Black, the developer for whom Black’s Beach is named). “My parents spent the last 20 years of their lives in La Jolla. I came and visited them frequently and just fell in love with it,” said Georgis, who holds a bachelor’s degree in art history from Stanford University and a master’s in architecture from Princeton. While Georgis maintained the exterior integrity of Lumpkins’ house (which had fallen into disrepair), his interior re-imagining of the home employs his characteristic juxtapositions of the opulent and the outré (or his application of “subversive intent,” a process by which he mines below the surface of his clients’ initial request to “make it fabulous!” — exposing elements of their risk-taking natures as part of the larger design scheme). His La Jolla home’s “powder room” (bathroom) features black fixtures, Japanese woodblock prints and bullet-riddled mirror panels, which Georgis says he shot up in the desert near Ramona (an element he also used in a New York apartment, whose owners deemed his original bathroom concept “too tasteful,” he said). “I can imagine an aging Joan Crawford walking in,

Georgis stands beside the bar of his La Jolla home, where he said cocktail hour begins at 5 p.m. Photo/Pat Sherman looking into the mirror, and pulling a mother-of-pearl-handled pistol out of her clutch to obliterate the lies,” Georgis writes in his book. “Guests have asked, “My God — what happened in here?” Themes repeated throughout Georgis’ projects include: rugs designed from splatter patterns of ink, paint or blood; animal accents like taxidermy (including an upright rabbit on the table of Georgis’ Upper East Side townhouse and a bobcat perched in the rafters of a log home in Big Sky, Montana); rugs, upholstery and pillow covering fashioned of goat, rabbit and skunk pelt; and the skeletons of marine mammals and other small creatures — each lending a sort of a feral whimsy to his spaces. Taxidermy and skeletons evoke the items in a Renaissance-era cabinet of curiosities, and sometimes play “supporting roles in domestic dramas,” Georgis said. “In the same way that I might mix a Roman torso of Herakles with a corpus and Jacobean table, I also mix textiles,” he added. “Animal prints introduce a savage element akin to a leopard print bikini on the beach.”

For his La Jolla home, perched above Torrey Pines Road with an awe-inspiring view of La Jolla Shores, Georgis and Marshall filled the rooms with some of the eclectic furniture they’ve been storing in New York warehouses through the years — including Egyptian Revival-style furniture and a 17th Century Coromandel screen procured at Sotheby’s in New York, and several Art Deco settees. “I’ve been collecting furniture all my adult life,” Georgis said. “The idea when we came here was to use a lot of those furnishings. In a way, it’s an eclectic mix, but it also tells the story of who we are moving across the country with all of our belongings. “Often people come into La Jolla from somewhere else and there’s always the character of the people bringing their personal history with them.” Though at present Georgis and Marshall use the La Jolla residence as a vacation home, Georgis said he just started a residential project near La Jolla Country Club, and hopes to spend more time here. “New York can get in your face — it’s really aggressive,” he said. “Coming here, I feel like I can relax.”

CCA student selected to appear on Disney XD’s ‘Disney TRYathlon’ BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Julia Domann will get the chance to show off her athletic skills to a nationwide audience as she will appear on Disney XD’s “Disney TRYathlon,” premiering Monday, Aug. 12, at 9 p.m. Julia was one of three “kid viewers” tapped to compete on teams with young Disney stars. Her video application was one of three selected out of over 500 entries. Julia was paired with Jake Short, who plays Fletcher on the Disney Channel’s “A.N.T. Farm” and Leo Howard, who plays Jack on Disney XD’s “Kickin’ It.” The show will air over two parts on Aug. 12 at 9 p.m. and Aug. 19, again at 9 p.m. on Disney XD. Julia, 15, was on the varsity track and field team as a freshman along with her identical twin sister Ava. Julia specializes in sprint events and broke the school record in long jump. She also stays highly active by surfing, skiing, riding horses, playing soccer, basketball and tennis. For three days of filming and competing, Julia traveled to Cali Camp in Topanga, Calif. The Disney TRYathon teams were named for the strengths of the “kid viewer” on the team, so naturally Julia’s team was named Team Sprint. Team Sprint competed against Team Bullseye and Team Knockout. Team Bullseye was composed of Bradley Steven Perry from “Good Luck Charlie,” Calum Worthy from “Austin & Ally” and “kid viewer” Javon, a 14-year-old football player and wrestler. Team Knockout included Spencer Boldman from “Lab Rats,” Olivia Holt from “Kickin’ It,” and 16-year-old boxer and break-dancer Stephen. The teams received additional help from guests such as “Lab Rats” star Billy Unger, NBA’s Dwight Howard, former NFL player Shawne Merriman and the White House Chef Sam Kass. Both Howard and Kass appear on a series of “TRYit” interstitials that air on Disney Channel and Disney HD, teaching kids exercises they can do to stay in shape and tips on

healthy eating. The “TRYathlon” was hosted by Tyrel Jackson Williams and Hal Sparks from “Lab Rats.” “The most fun thing was meeting all the actors,” Julia said. “Everyone was really nice.” While Julia’s goals include breaking the rest of CCA’s track and field records, the experience of filming reaffirmed her desire to act. She loves to act, sing and dance. “I love being on camera,” said Julia. “After those three days on set, I just kind of know that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. It was really enjoyable.” Interested viewers will have to watch to see how Julia and her teammates do, competing in three events that involve a variety of athletic abilities from strength, agility, speed and balance as well as tactical gameplaying.

Inaugural paddleboard race to honor late Solana Beach lifeguard BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach lifeguards will catch waves in memory of one of their own during the inaugural Iron Mike Paddle Aug. 10 at Fletcher Cove. The four-mile paddleboard race and surfing festival is in honor of late Solana Beach lifeguard Mike McKay, who died when he was 23 in an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in January 2008. “Mike was a natural leader who led by example,” said Solana Beach Marine Safety Sgt. Greg Uruburu, an Encinitas resident who worked with McKay. “He was a genuine guy and really wanted to see people succeed and be happy in life.” A longtime resident of Wrightwood, Calif., McKay was an emergency medical technician, lead ski patroller and lifeguard. He was pursuing his master’s degree in psychology at National University in La Jolla at the time of his death. Always outdoors, McKay was an avid soccer player, surfer, hiker, mountain bike rider, rock climber and skier. Uruburu said he couldn’t think of a better way to honor and remember his friend than an event like the Iron Mike Paddle. “We have his lifeguard family honoring him with an ocean going race, a board swap to promote sustainability and recycling, and family, friends and community uniting to celebrate someone who truly cared about all the things just mentioned,” Uruburu said. Although McKay was only a Solana Beach lifeguard for one season, he made an impact on the department and was honored in 2007 as the “Rookie of the Year,” Uruburu said. Recipients of the annual award, now called the “Mountain

Mike Rookie of the Year” in memory of McKay, receive a $500 scholarship from the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit established by McKay’s family. Proceeds from Iron Mike Paddle will benefit the foundation, which awards roughly $3,500 in scholarships each year. “All of our scholarships tend to be a pat on the back from Mike — that’s the way we look at it,” said McKay’s father, Vince McKay. “It’s a nice way of remembering him.” Organized by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association and Rerip, a nonprofit that supports recycling old surfboards, Iron Mike Paddle will feature art, live music and a surfboard swap along with eco-friendly vendors. In addition to McKay’s fellow lifeguards, his family and friends, including his Labrador

retriever, Daisy, will gather from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 at Fletcher Cove Park in Solana Beach to celebrate his life. “It’s five years after his death, and they still remember Mike and honor his memory by doing this,” Vince McKay said. “That’s a testament to the respect that they had for him and their friendship.” McKay’s mother, Laura McKay, added, “Mike just loved this group of guys. They clicked. To have them do this in honor of Mike is really incredible.” For more information about Iron Mike Paddle, which is open to all ages, visit rerip.com.

Horse racing another challenging but fun business for Del Mar resident David Batchelder BY JULIE SARNO Horse racing is a tough business. Del Mar resident David Batchelder is used to tough businesses. He chooses to own racehorses as a way to have fun and relieve stress. Batchelder is a partner in Bloom Racing Stable LLC. He and his wife, Sylvia, own part of 12 racehorses. Batchelder serves on the Board of Directors of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. He had dabbled in ownership with West Point Thoroughbreds, where family friend Jeff Bloom served as a vice president and regional manager, prior to forming Bloom Racing Stable in 2011. Once Bloom Racing Stables was formed, Batchelder became more involved. The group’s first horse was Majestic City. Batchelder bought an ownership interest in Majestic City prior to his first race in July of 2011. Majestic City won his first, the Hollywood Juvenile Championship (G3), and finished second in his next start, the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity, an impressive beginning for the handsome chestnut son of City Zip. In November of 2011, Majestic City raced in the Breeders’ Cup (at Churchill Downs that year), which is to racing what the World Series is to baseball. “We went to the Breeders’ Cup with Majestic City,” recalled Batchelder of his first Bloom Racing runner. “There, we saw people who’ve been in racing their entire lives waiting for a horse good enough to be in those races. And we were there with our first horse.” Batchelder and his Bloom Racing partners received a dose of reality when Majestic City finished next to last in the Breeders’ Cup. Partnership members sometimes change, but Batchelder continues to own part of Majestic City, now 4. Majestic City finished fourth in the Bing Crosby on July 28 at Del Mar. Batchelder’s business is investments. He is the founder and principal of Relational Investors LLC, a $6-billion investment fund based in San Diego that specializes in strategic block investments. He deems the company an “Activist Investor.” Internet source Investopedia defines an activist investor as “An individual or group that purchases large numbers of a public company’s shares and/or tries to obtain seats on the company’s board with the goal of effecting a major change in the company. . .” Examples given were Carl Icahn and Kirk Kerkorian. In the past, Batchelder has gone on the boards of companies to help revitalize them. Batchelder has served on the boards of 10 companies, many of them Fortune 500, including Intuit, maker of Quick Books and Turbotax. An example he gives is Home Depot. “We invested in Home Depot and I went on the board to work with management to revitalize the company,” said Batchelder of his 2008-2010 stint as a Home Depot board member. “We work with the companies to help correct what is causing their undervaluation in the market – problems which cause your stock to trade at a discount. With a shareholder on the board, it makes a difference.” The owner credits his involvement in racing to Jeff Bloom. Bloom, a former jockey, and his family lived near Batchelder’s daughter and her family. Bloom’s daughters, Hannah and Ashley, are friends of Batchelder’s grandchildren. Racegoers at Del Mar know Bloom as the emcee for Breakfast at Del Mar each Saturday and Sunday during the race meet. Bloom founded and manages Bloom Racing Stable, LLC, in 2011. He has horses with trainers Ron Ellis in Southern California and Gary Contessa in New York. Many owners choose to own racehorses in partnership, a more affordable option than individual ownership. In addition to the purchase price of a Thoroughbred racehorse, the costs for maintaining one range from $35,000 to $45,000 annually. The

David Batchelder acquisition cost of a horse coupled with the feed, training, shoeing and veterinary expenses make partnerships more palatable. Batchelder’s wife enjoys equines as well and he readily acknowledges she is more knowledgeable than he is when it comes to horses. She is a dressage rider. The couple own Los Robles, a ranch near Santa Isabel, where they have nine horses, including two former racehorses. Sylvia enjoys the process of converting them into dressage horses. The couple have three grown children and two grandchildren. “When we have a horse in to race and Sylvia comes to the track, she goes to the barn, then to the paddock.” said Batchelder. “She watches the races close to the track and then goes back to the barn with the horse.” Batchelder’s other racehorses include two named by his wife, who puts a lot of thought into the process. One is ‘Cackle the Cuda,’ named in honor of drag racing champion (and Rancho Santa Fe resident) Don Prudhomme, who was known for his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda and the throaty engine noise it made when he revved it. Another is “A Red Tie Day” named for husband David’s tendency to wear a red tie when he has a potentially contentious business meeting on his calendar.

Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks Elite team wins U.S. Youth National Soccer Championships

DMCV Sharks GU16 Elite raising the Mavis Derflinger National Championship Trophy.

The team celebrates!

BY ROB LEDONNE In a thrilling overtime finals game, the Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks Elite Team won the U.S. Youth National Soccer Championships in the 16 and under girls division. The game, which was played on Sunday in Overland Park, Kansas, and pitted the Sharks against last year’s finalists (Cincinnati, Ohio’s King’s Hammer Academy), was an exciting end to what Coach Felicia Kappes called “truly a dream season.” “Around 10,000 teams started this process to get to the nationals,” explained Kappes. “Then it was whittled down to a final 88 teams competing overall, and then eight teams — four against four.” In the end, the Sharks came out on top

young women. Their camaraderie is amazing... they had lots of traditions and nuances they do before games, and generally bonded in ways you can’t create as a coach. It’s something you just can’t fake.” Team Captain Gianna Montini echoes those sentiments. “It was amazing, it still feels amazing and unreal that we even won. We just worked so hard as a team and dedicated so much time. We felt like we deserved this, but we knew we had to put in the effort.” The final game against King’s Hammer wasn’t an easy one, according to Montini: “We were down twice in the same game, but we knew it was our time to win and made it happen.”

following a successful season any athlete would rarely get to see. “We knew we were one of the best teams in the country going into it,” Kappes noted of the team’s prowess. “We have been ranked as high as number one in the nation for four or five months. We always had goals, and tried to accomplish each one.” The past season has been an intense one, both on the field and off. The Sharks had a grueling travel schedule which brought them to places like North Carolina and Hawaii, the result of which was the formation of a strong bond between teammates. “The team is more like a family,” said Kappes. “They’re a special group of people; I’ve seen them grow from little girls to

Robert A. Sunstein, D.D.S.

Following their win on Sunday, the team flew together back to San Diego. “Everyone was congratulating them in the airport in Kansas,” said Kappes. “Then when we got on our Southwest flight, everyone was laughing and dancing.” “Arriving at the airport in San Diego was awesome,” Montini said. “There were so many of our family and friends there, holding signs and cheering. It was a great atmosphere to be a part of; you could really feel the love.” Summed up Kappes: “We’re proud we brought a championship to San Diego. The girls enjoyed every single moment... It was truly a team effort.”

The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio opening in Carmel Valley Aug. 10 BY KAREN BILLING In a darkened studio where the only light is a few candles and glow-in-the-dark shoes spinning fast on a cycle, music vibrates loudly and instructor Lindsay Birtcil is motivating a room full of riders up an imaginary incline. The climb would seem endless without the drumming beat of the music and Birtcilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energetic encouragement to keep pushing. This is The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio in Birdrock, a new fitness facility that is coming to Carmel Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Torrey Corner center on Aug. 10. The Rush specializes in providing challenging workouts with â&#x20AC;&#x153;top notchâ&#x20AC;? instructors in a non-intimidating (hence the darkness), boutique studio environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single class will be the best class youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever taken,â&#x20AC;? said co-founder Corey Spangler. Spangler opened The Rush with business partner Tim Suski, who has been his best friend for over 14 years, dating back to high school in the Pasadena area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a long history and it makes running a business together more fun. We find the humor in things, we both have strengths and weaknesses, and when we come together we make a perfect team,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. They had always wanted to be entrepreneurs and run their own business but after graduating from college, Suski got a job in sales and Spangler worked for an insurance company in risk management. Although Spangler loved his job, it could be very stressful. As a way to de-stress, he started taking spin classes about four times a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that one-hour class I would burn 1,000 calories, I sweat more in that class compared to running or weight lifting and it was actually fun with the music,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm brought me to a new level. Leaving there I would have an endorphin high, it would almost re-start my day.â&#x20AC;? Thinking out loud with Suski, he pitched the idea of a boutique fitness studio that just did cycling, similar to New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soul Cycle. They met up, hashing out their business plan over coffees, scribbling in notebooks. The two were committed and moved forward, found the funding and opened the La Jolla studio on Jan. 29, 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy we did it,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun, working in the fitness industry and building this brand

The Rush Indoor Cycling Studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-founder Corey Spangler, on left, with a group of riders. Courtesy photo has been awesome. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really well received and we want to continue to grow. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving so fast because we just want to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We want everybody to know about us.â&#x20AC;? From the very beginning they knew they wanted to open three studios and they were lucky that Birdrock did so well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we want to go to Carmel Valley is because it is just the perfect clientele. Our whole vision is to go into affluent communities where people are very fit,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. The studio uses high-end Keiser M3+ bikes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ferrari of spin bikesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a lever instead of a knob to control the resistance. Each bike has a mini-computer which charts and displays resistance levels, RPMs (Revolutions Per Minute), calories burned, and can sync up to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart rate monitor. The bikes accommodate clip-in shoes and Spangler said they really push using the clip-in shoes for a rental fee of $1â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;it just makes such a huge difference for the ride, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much safer and more efficient and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to burn more calories.â&#x20AC;? The atmosphere of the studio is designed to be spa-like and class instructors are hand-picked to be the very best in

skill and personality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have great instructors,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our current team is just awesome, we got really lucky.â&#x20AC;? As part of The Rush brand, the lights are off during class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the studio to be a very non-intimidating place,â&#x20AC;? Spangler said, noting beginners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to feel nervous about what they look like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dimming the lights gives people a private space but when you look up you can get inspired by the class because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of energy and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close together. The energy in the room elevates our abilities.â&#x20AC;? Once the music is cranked, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;party on the bikeâ&#x20AC;? atmosphere and everyone can adjust to their own level; their mantra is that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave any rider behind. Classes are 45 minutes to an hour long and scheduled throughout the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the earliest class offered during the week is at 5:45 a.m. and the latest scheduled is 7 p.m. The early morning classes tend to be a little more technical, Spangler said, with a lot of triathletes taking advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone wants to hear Katy Perry blaring at 5:45 a.m.,â&#x20AC;? he said. Spangler said they have learned a lot from Birdrock, where classes often sell out. Carmel Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio will have nearly double the number of bikes of Birdrock with 44 to a studio. They will also have a full slate of classes, 10 more classes a week than Birdrock. For its opening, The Rush will offer free classes from Aug. 10 through Aug. 18. The weekend of Aug. 17-18, The Rush is partnering with Searsucker, Suja Juice, Nika Water, and Sculpt Fusion Yoga for its opening celebration festivities. Packages for The Rush run from one class drop-ins to one month unlimited passes. The introduction package comes with a one week unlimited pass and free shoe rental. The VIP package includes six months membership and a free pair of Shimano cycling shoes and a free bottle of Nika water for each ride. Learn more at therushstudio.com. The Rush in Carmel Valley is located at 11130 East Ocean Air Dr., San Diego, CA 92130. The Rush in La Jolla is located at 5628 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla, CA 92037; (858) 255-8457.

Torrey Pines’ Shaffer finds harmony in music and running BY GIDEON RUBIN Sometimes when Kurtis Shaffer finds the right rhythm on long practice runs, it’s not always that clear to him whether life is imitating art, or it’s the other way around. Either way, it’s become apparent to him that shaving a few ticks off his 1600-meter time and adding a few new wrinkles to a jazz riff aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive goals. “Sometimes I’ll have melody motifs stuck in my head while I’m running,” he said. “It’s kind of torturous actually, I can be practicing saxophone during my runs. Even if the keys aren’t there I can imagine where they would be so I can run through scales like that.” Shaffer can probably use any time-management advantage he can get. The aspiring jazz musician runs on the cross country and track and field teams at Torrey Pines High, while excelling academically too. “It’s a juggling act for sure, between academics, sports and the music thing I’m doing,” he said. The “music thing” is Shaffer’s first passion. He picked up the saxophone in third grade after the Boys and Girls Club visited his elementary school encouraging music participation. Shaffer initially wanted to take clarinet lessons. “My dad goes, ‘What, clarinet? If you’re going to play an instrument you’ve got to play the saxophone. You’ll get way more girls that way.’ “He was joking, but I ended up doing that one instead and that’s taken off. Now I’m thinking about a career in music.” Shaffer’s high school running career has taken off too. He placed 10th in the Palomar League prelims, clocking 4:27.79, barely missing the cut to qualify for the San Diego Section finals. Earlier this year he stunned teammates – and himself

– when he ran the 1600 in 4:26 in a dual meet against Mt. Carmel. Teammate Tal Braude, a standout runner, told him to “stay right up there” with him during the meet. “I ended up going around the fourth lap and I held with him on the finishing kick,” Shaffer said. Shaffer finished second in the race. “Everybody’s like ‘You just dropped [about] 30 seconds off your mile time,’ ” Shaffer said. “I was excited about that race.” Shaffer started running in middle school but he admits it was mostly a social experience. When he went out for the Torrey Pines cross country team as a freshman, the experience couldn’t have been more different. “When I showed the up first day it was like they were giants,” he said. “They were mostly seniors and I was a freshman, and they could like, run.” The Falcons went to the to state championships that year. “I walked in as a freshman and I didn’t know anybody,” he said. “It was little bit intimidating my first run. I was way out of my league, level, everything.” Shaffer kept at it though, toughing it out through a knee injury (different running shoes eventually fixed that), and along the way developing life skills that he believes have helped his performance on the track and in the music room. “You have to be diligent,” Shaffer said of the quality that he believes is integral to both endeavors. And you also have to be driven, he acknowledged, to push out a 10-mile run when you’d really rather go back to bed. “You have to really want it,” he said. The early part is the toughest, he said, noting that the cross country team’s tapered training program has him doing the majority of his training early on, then easing off towards

The results of the training are not immediately apparent. “The result is that hopefully we peak in our performance level at the end.” Shaffer is taking that diligence to his musical career too, putting in the long hours of daily practice honing his craft now — he hopes that will help him reach his peak performance when he’s establishing his professional career down the road. Shaffer said he plans to study music, perhaps at an elite East Coast conservancy or one of the state’s top programs at UCLA or the CSU Long Beach or Northridge schools. “Keeping your head on straight in those early times so that it pays off later,” he said. “That’s what I’m looking at in my music career and I know that I have to put in the work now so that it pays off when I go to college.”

•Atte nd Aug. 8 meeting

I was pleased to see Gordon Clanton’s letter, “The One Paseo Loop Road,” in the July 25 paper. One Paseo has not gone away, as the absence of recent discussion might imply. In fact, every sign points to the issue coming up again soon. We need to be alert, and ready to respond to Kilroy Realty’s next move. Mr. Clanton’s concept of a loop road is intriguing. I like his premise that “big new shopping centers should absorb onto their property the extra traffic they generate.” He is correct, too, that whatever the size of the final project, there will be enormous new traffic burdens to the surrounding neighborhoods, not only of Carmel Valley, but Del Mar Heights, and the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach. Where I disagree with Mr. Clanton’s proposal is in its further emphasis of the new development as an island in the surrounding suburban community. The loop road would serve to cut off the development from its surrounding neighborhood, even with pedestrian and bicycle tunnels or overpasses. Such expensive engineering is also an unlikely solution for any developer. For me, the fundamental flaw of the One Paseo proposal is that it is, in fact, already an island. Smart growth is about integration of new development with existing communities. Pedestrian and bicycle access means access from those communities, not just within a new development. One Paseo, with its upscale restaurants and shops, is dependent for its economic success on attracting customers from a 10-mile radius. They will bring their automobiles. All of the solutions posed by Kilroy, and by Mr. Clanton, involve accommodating the influx of new automobile traffic. It’s time we asked for solutions which reduce automobile traffic. The first and most obvious answer is to make the development smaller. But, just as important, is that the development provide experiences that meet everyday neighborhood needs and desires as opposed to regional ones. A well-designed project would reduce automobile traffic within the region by reducing the need for local residents to travel far afield, and might even allow — or even encourage — some locals to travel there by bicycle or on foot. On July 27, the Del Mar Times/Carmel Valley News/Solana Beach Sun posted news of a special meeting of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on Aug. 8, at 7 p.m., at Ocean Air Elementary School. This meeting is billed as “an opportunity for Kilroy to discuss the community benefits of the project and will allow residents to weigh in with their thoughts.” Wherever you live in the sphere of One Paseo’s traffic-impacted 10-mile radius, this promises to be an interesting meeting. I hope to see you there! Diana Scheffler, architect Del Mar Heights

I am retired – Serious stuff vs. fluff Again, many thanks to our local political types for the free national media attention focused on San Diego City Hall. Of course, we could be more like Detroit. San Diego’s pension and infrastructure debt is still staggering. Pension debt is still around $263 million a years out of General funds and we have over 2,300 miles of deteriorating roads. I am encouraged to hear that our Mayor is going to a two-week course to learn about sexual harassment and human dignity. Apparently, these life sessions were not learned during his stay in Washington, D.C. I learned that when my dog was overly sexually aggressive and tried to hump furniture that a spray of water in the face taught him a quick behavior modification. Wonder if this method would work on people along with a time-out corner for bad behavior. It’s a lot cheaper and avoids legal costs that we all pay for. OK, enough of serious stuff, it is too depressing. Recently, I attended Doughnut Day at the Del Mar Racetrack. Free parking, doughnuts, juice and coffee, and about two hours of listening to the track announcer, jockeys and trainers. I joined the kids at the rail watching the thoroughbreds on the track going through their workouts. The horses would stop by and stare at the crowd. Maybe they simply wanted a chocolate-sprinkled doughnut. The next doughnut day is Saturday, Aug. 24. This event is a great family outing. The Del Mar Racetrack is the jewel of the Pacific Coast and, in my estimation, unique among America tracks. Dennis Ridz

No smoking signage and enforcement needed at race concerts I attended this past Friday’s after-the-race concert [in Del Mar]. This concert, and all after-race concerts, are supposed to be smoke-free. But little is done to remind and educate the concert-goers to that fact. There is virtually no signage. As you walk into the venue and past the security there should be appropriate and highly-visible signage that the concert is 100 percent smoke-free. I saw many smokers at the concert, and while some of the security would ask those smoking to put out their cigarettes, it was definitely an uphill battle. There just wasn’t enough enforcement or education of the smoke-free policies at these concerts. The fairground is public property, and its rules need to be enforced and we need the fairground management to add signage and communicate to its security that the smokefree policies need to be enforced. This would help improve the overall experience at the concerts and keep our public property cleaner and healthier. Jon Sullivan Oceanside

Emerald should call for Filner’s resignation The following letter was directed to Marti Emerald, San Diego City Council, and submitted to this newspaper for publication. I am a 50-year-old woman residing with my husband and two children in Carmel Valley. I want to express my disgust in you for your support of Bob Filner. You are such a hypocrite. Back in the fall, before the election, you put out an ad for Sherri Lightner saying that Ray Ellis has offended every woman in San Diego. Which is totally untrue. I even wrote an editorial for the UT after the garbage that came from your mouth! I have known Ray and his wife Gina for 25 years. He is the most philanthropic, honest, decent men I have ever met in my life. I think you should have saved those words about Ray for that creep Bob Filner! You knew what kind of man Filner was and still supported him through the election and still support him now. Disgusting! Bob Filner has offended every woman in San Diego and you have too! You should really be ashamed of yourself. You need to do the right thing and call for Filner’s resignation! Katie Clapp

Dog walkers: Please clean up your dog litter! •Pa rents: Please pass the message on to your kids There are lovely footpaths that wind through some of the condo communities in Carmel Valley. You could start walking at Valley Centre Drive and go all the way to the community center on Townsgate. There was a time in the recent past when the footpaths were free of dog droppings. Most people were responsible enough and sufficiently civic minded to carry their little plastic bags and pick up after their dog’s leavings. Now this is seldom done. I agree with Patti Passov (letter to the editor, July 25 issue of this newspaper), that it is mostly young people who violate this law and its related lack of concern for other people who don’t enjoy being visually assailed by the constant sight of so much dog litter. Unfortunately, the law is unenforceable and the attitude of the dog walker seems to be, “I don’t care.” Putting myself in the shoes of dog walkers, they might be thinking, “Where can I dump this stuff?”, and so as we walk the pathways or the streets, we see either little bags of the stuff all along the sides of the street or path or loose dog litter laying around. And to those of you who drop their bags of dog poop on the street, whom do you expect to clean up after you? Whenever I see a dog walker picking up their dog[‘s deposit, I go out of my way to say, “Thank you for picking up.” I wish your paper could undertake a continuing crusade against this dirty problem. Unfortunately, many young people seldom read and most likely never read [newspapers] so that hopefully the message could resonate with the parents. I wish I could end this letter with some hope and a suggested solution to the problem but I fear that since our social norms are being eroded by this next generation and, since there is no law enforcement, we are stuck with dog litter on our streets and foot paths.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Transgender equality rights in schools BY MARSHA SUTTON A bill some say is long overdue and others call controversial has passed both the state Assembly and the full Senate and is expected to Marsha Sutton be signed into law soon by the governor. “Pupil Rights: Sex-Segregated School Programs and Activities” (AB 1266, sponsored by state assembly member Tom Ammiano, Democrat from San Francisco), states: “A pupil shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs or activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.” This would require that a public school student in grades kindergarten through 12th be allowed to use school restrooms and locker rooms and participate on sports teams of the gender they identify with, regardless of their biological sex. According to a July 5 Associated Press story, the bill “sparked an impassioned debate on the Senate floor about when transgender students’ right to expression might conflict with other students’ discomfort and right to privacy.” A challenge to the bill failed. Mike Grove, associate superintendent of educational services for the San Dieguito Union High School District, said AB 1266 is a one-sentence addition to an existing law that already prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. This bill simply spells out in clearer detail the rights of transgender students. Grove said the bill’s language was taken almost word-for-word from a policy the Los Angeles Unified School District enacted several years ago, and he said three other states – Washington, Connecticut and Massachusetts – have similar state laws. Although some have raised concerns about transgender rights conflicting with the privacy rights of other students, Grove anticipates few problems. “I doubt it’s going to create major issues,” he said. “It’s probably scaring some people initially based on what they perceive could be issues – all of the what-ifs.” The fear, he said, is that a biological boy, for example, will wake up one morning and suddenly decide he’s a girl and demand to use the

girls’ locker room. But it doesn’t happen that way, he said. “What I’ve seen in other states is they have a process put in place where the student has to kind of formally declare their gender identity,” he said. “It’s not that one day they decide they’re going to walk into the girls’ locker room.” It’s a formal process by which the student asserts his or her gender identity and therefore their rights related to that decision, and that generally involves the family and is not a casual determination that happens overnight, he said. Once a discussion among the student, the family and school officials takes place, and the student decides to be identified as the opposite of their biological sex, then the school will ask the student’s preference about facility use. Many times the transgender student is not comfortable using the restrooms or lockers rooms of the gender they identify with, Grove said. But the student gets to choose. Some districts have provided a private restroom, both for the privacy of the transgender student as well as for other students who might not be comfortable with the situation, he said. But that can be problematic if the transgender student is made to feel isolated. Privacy issues are complicated. “It’s dicey, because you obviously can’t tell everyone that this student is transgender and will be in the locker room with you because that’s private information for that student,” Grove said. Thorny social issues According to a July 9 column by Thom Senzee for The Huffington Post, San Diego transgender rights activist Connor Maddocks says self-identification is key. “I get to decide who I am, according to the state of California and a growing number of other states,” Maddocks is quoted as saying. Although many teens are confused about their sexual identity, transgender children can struggle for years and don’t suddenly decide to change their gender identity at the flip of a switch. So this kind of decision is not one made lightly. But pitting the rights transgender students deserve against the privacy rights of students who object to sharing a bathroom, locker room or shower with a student who is biologically a member of the opposite sex sounds like a perfect storm of legitimate rights vs. legitimate rights.

On the other hand, as a friend said, “People have to learn not to freak out about differences.” Educators getting by on minimal funding to teach traditional lessons in history, math, science and writing may end up spending dwindling taxpayer money on lawyers over challenges to the bill. With limited public money, are these the kinds of issues school districts should devote their time and public money to? Yet schools as the proper place to sort out these thorny social issues has historical validity. “Schools are a microcosm of our society, so these social issues have always been a part of our schools,” Grove said, referencing the civil rights and free speech movements from the 60s. “Schools have always been a place where these issues can be volatile because you have this community of all these differing beliefs and political views,” he said. “They play themselves out in schools.” But he said having students personally involved in movements that raise social consciousness can produce profound changes in awareness and understanding. “Kids can read about civil rights in a textbook, but this is where they see it playing out in real life,” he said. “And I believe that’s educational for kids and beneficial.” Transgender students at San Dieguito San Dieguito has had one or two high school students every few years who identify as transgender, said Grove, who noted that it’s rare at the middle school level “because most kids aren’t ready to be that public with their gender identity at that age.” He said there may be more, but currently only two students have had formal interactions with the district. Typically, it’s a student transitioning to a new gender identity and living an active life as a transgender, he said. Some students have been in the process of or moving toward undergoing sex change operations. “We have had those situations on our campuses, and it really hasn’t ever been an issue other than making sure they aren’t getting bullied,” said Grove, who has worked in the district for 24 years. Facility use has been a non-issue to date because the students “were comfortable going to whatever their biological gender facility was,” he said. “We haven’t had any big controversies where they’re asking for anything that we weren’t able to very

easily accommodate without impacting others.” To date the district has not had requests by transgender students to play sports on teams they genderidentify with, and is waiting to hear from the California Interscholastic Federation for guidance. “It’s all going to be dictated by CIF rules and policy,” Grove said. Current policy and law, as Grove understands it, is that a boy, for example, who identifies as a girl must be allowed to participate in girls’ sports. And vice versa. “CIF is going to be very concerned about that,” he said. “In order for that student to be eligible to play on that team, they’re going to have very clear criteria.” Grove said he would not be surprised to see some litigation around the athletics issue. This bill focuses on K-12 grades only. But – more unintended consequences – what happens if it is applied to college sports, or even professional athletic competitions including the Olympics? Grove said there have been isolated incidents across the country, including one case at the Olympics, associated with this conundrum. “It’s going to have to get sorted out,” he said. Not a big deal The law already prohibits discrimination based upon gender identity or sexual orientation. “All this [bill] did was make it very explicit,” Grove said. Once the bill is approved by the governor, it becomes law at once. But how it is implemented will take time. “What happens after that is the California Department of Education will come out with guidance for school districts about how you legally implement this in the school setting,” he said. He expects unanticipated quandaries. “We’ll come up with how we think we’re going to do it, and then a scenario will come up that we hadn’t anticipated and we’ll adjust,” he said. When new laws affecting education are passed, the CDE generally provides guidelines, and then San Dieguito reviews its current policies and regulations related to the new law to see if adjustments are needed. “I doubt we will have to make anything formal in board policy, but in terms of our practices we will definitely come up with something specific in writing so our schools know how to handle the situation,” Grove said. So far he said there has been no communication or resistance from parents or staff on AB 1266.

Former Solana Beach City Councilman Tom Golich getting a signature from Paula Richter.

Solana Beach residents forced to voter initiative Solana Beach residents are now circulating petitions to place an initiative on the ballot that will allow the voters of Solana Beach to decide if the Fletcher Cove Community Center can be used for private celebrations. The initiative is necessary because the City Council has been unable to reach a decision regarding the use of the center for private family celebrations and announced that the matter will not be brought back for review. Because they refuse to set up rules for private use of the venue, the recently remodeled center sits almost unused. Residents of Solana Beach are thoroughly displeased with the gridlock on this issue. For more than 50 years, the community used Fletcher Cove Community Center for special events and family celebrations. Many beautiful memories were created at this site. During the 1990s, the city failed to fund repairs and maintenance, and the facility was allowed to deteriorate until it was undesirable for events. In 2007, the Council voted to remodel the building, soliciting funding from citizens with the promise that it would be used again for “classes, civic events and celebrations.” The residents donated $225,000 for the redesign and renovation of the facility. Since the grand opening of the refurbished Community Center in July 2011, the multiple requests for use of the building have been denied by the City because no policy to govern its use exists. The only opponents to the facility’s use are a few of the center’s immediate neighbors, who would prefer the event venue sit empty. In a series of meetings, advocates for center use made numerous concessions, but the neighbors were unwilling to compromise. “Residents of the city of Solana Beach are disappointed, discouraged and exasperated,” said Mary Jane Boyd. “We have a Community Center with limited use, but it cannot be used for the purpose for which it was designed and renovated.” Citizens are circulating petitions to place the initiative on the ballot so that voters of Solana Beach may choose if the center can be used as promised when funds were solicited. — Submitted by Mary Jane Boyd on behalf of the Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center (FFCCC).

“I don’t anticipate it being that big a deal,” Grove said. Perhaps one high school student I asked about this said it best. He was completely comfortable with the idea, but backed off a bit when carefully considering how to implement the specifics. His thoughtful comment after considering all aspects was this: “The bill is important because it will help people recognize that transgender people deserve equal rights and full respect, just like everyone else. The details are sticky, and implementation will be a trial. But the overall point may be to change the way people think. And for that, it will be worth it.” On that I hope everyone can wholeheartedly agree. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

Successful Albion Cup for Manchester Soccer Club’s Academy Elite Teams, BU11 and BU15 Congratulations to Coach Billy Garton’s BU11 and BU15 teams for a successful weekend at Albion Cup. Games were held July 20-22 at the UCSD campus. Both teams played in the Elite bracket and overcame some tough opposition to reach the final game. The BU11 team beat Surf Academy (2-0), Sereno (1-0) and Albion (on PK’s) to reach the final. In a close encounter, Manchester led Long Beach FC 1-0 for the majority of the game, but an excellent Long Beach team came back strong in the last 15 minutes to win 3-1. “My boys had an awesome weekend and have really es-

tablished themselves as one of the top teams in Southern California with some recent performances. To beat Albion, a very strong team and State Cup runners up, is a testimony to where we are at and that we are getting better each tournament. No shame in losing to Long Beach, a strong, aggressive team whose coach complimented my team at the presentation ceremony as the ‘best passing team’ he has seen at this age. We do play great soccer and it’s a pleasure to coach and watch,” said Garton. The BU15 Academy Elite had a stellar weekend, winning 5 straight games to take the Championship. They beat

Surf Academy 3-0, Capo F C 2-0, United 2-0, Pats San Diego 2-1, and Arizona Hammers 2-1 in the final game. Coached by Billy Garton this team continues to develop and blossom. Garton commented, “This BU15 team is flying high at present and have a ‘machine-like approach’ to games. They believe in me and each other and are producing very, very complete performances at present. I love coaching them and thoroughly enjoy watching them play. They’re a tight bunch, who play for each other.”

Del Mar resident Artistic director celebrates 10 years coordinates philanthropic at North Coast Repertory Theatre efforts in San Diego BY KRISTINA HOUCK As the executive director of San Diego Grantmakers, Del Mar resident Nancy Jamison spends most days with people who give to others. “The people I get to hang out with are people who are doing great things,” Jamison said. “These are fun and smart people. They care. They are passionate about their work in the community.” Founded in 1976 and established as a nonprofit in 1999, San Diego Grantmakers is a membership association for philanthropic organizations like foundations and corporate giving programs. Through conferences, workshops, quarterly newsletters and other communications, the organization aims to connect and educate philanthropists. With the rebounding economy, Jamison said more businesses in San Diego are recommitting to philanthropy, but they want to see a return on their investments. “Funders that are giving money want to get smarter about it,” she said. “We help them by helping them talk to each other, doing research for them and helping them make the most of their dollar so they can combine forces. “With the government’s shrinking resources, philanthropic resources are challenged to meet the needs that we have in our community. Our function is to help people be as effective as possible and have the most impact as possible, so you don’t have any wasted dollars.” When Jamison became executive director in 2005, the nonprofit organization had just one part-time employee and 65

Nancy Jamison members. Now, San Diego Grantmakers has five staff members, several consultants and nearly 100 members, including Bank of America, Cox Communications, Ford Motor Company Fund, Mission Federal Credit Union and Qualcomm Incorporated. The nonprofit has also launched a number of funder collaborations, which are public/private partnerships of philanthropic employers and foundations that join forces to address social issues like education and homelessness. Still, Jamison hopes to grow the organization even more. “If our network is bigger and there’s more members, more companies and more family foundations talking to each other, than their networks are stronger,” said Jamison, who serves as a board member of the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. “If we can create bridges between philanthropy and government, philanthropy and business, philanthropy and academia, and, of course, nonprofits, then there will be less

BY KRISTINA HOUCK North Coast Repertory Theatre has been a staple of Solana Beach and North San Diego County for more than 30 years. The theater’s continued success is thanks in large part to David Ellenstein, who has been artistic director for a decade. From choosing plays and hiring directors, to meeting with donors and board members, Ellenstein is responsible for “setting the theater’s tone.” “I like being the person who is responsible for making sure the experience of coming to North Coast Rep is a satisfying and fulfilling one,” Ellenstein said. “Seeing people have that experience makes me really happy that we’re doing a good job and a good thing.” Committed to promoting theater arts, North Coast Repertory Theatre produces seven main stage productions each season. The nonprofit organization also offers a holiday show, offnight events and a theater school. “I like to say we’re not a community theater; we’re a theater for the community,” Ellenstein said. “We create the best possible thing, drawing from the best local talent and the best national talent.” A longtime actor and director, Ellenstein directs three of the theater’s plays each season. The 56-year-old also acts in at least one play every year. “I still love being a director and I still love being an actor. I’ll always love that,” said Ellenstein, who lives with his wife and two sons in Carlsbad. “If I ever stop being an artistic director, I’d still act and I’d still direct.”

David Ellenstein

Born into a theatrical family, Ellenstein is a veteran of more than 200 theatrical productions. He has been on the stage since he was 4 and began working as a paid actor by 17. “I grew up in it,” said Ellenstein, who is the son of the late Robert Ellenstein, a wellknown actor, director and artistic director. “At 4 years old, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to do what my dad was doing. He was having so much fun doing it; that’s what I wanted to do.” Although his film and television credits include more than three dozen roles, Ellenstein has always enjoyed theater more than film and television. “Really, what I much prefer is the life,” said Ellenstein, who noted Hamlet has been his favorite role. He’s played the title character in three different productions at three different venues. “When you’re working in the theater, you spend your time doing what you love. When you’re working in film or TV, you spend your time looking for the jobs.” Before joining North Coast Repertory Theatre in January 2003, Ellenstein simultaneously served as artistic director for the Los Angeles Repertory Company, which his father co-founded, and the Arizona Jewish Theatre Company. When the curtains close on Aug. 11 for the comedy “Perfect Wedding,” it will mark the end of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 31st season and Ellenstein’s 10th anniversary. Already planning the 33rd season, Ellenstein is looking forward to next season’s lineup. “I’ve got seven really great plays that people may not have seen before,” Ellenstein said. “I’ve got two musicals, two plays that involve history, three comedies, one dark play, one intellectual play, two San Diego premiers and two other world premiers. “It’s really going to be an eye-opening season for people because they’re going to be seeing a bunch of stuff that they’re not familiar with — it’s really good stuff!” When Ellenstein became artistic director 10 years ago, two of his three goals were to establish North Coast Repertory Theatre as a professional-grade operation, and join the Actors’ Equity Association, which promotes fair pay, working conditions and benefits for actors and stage managers. Ellenstein achieved these goals within his first two years at the theater, but still has a goal to build a new home for the organization, which is currently housed in a 194-seat venue at Lomas Santa Fe Shopping Plaza. Ellenstein said North Coast Repertory Theatre has “a very attractive offer” to build a new theater on the property from American Assets Inc., which owns the shopping center. Until enough funds are raised, however, Ellenstein said he will continue to push the theater forward artistically. And while North Coast Repertory Theatre attracts roughly 50,000 people per season, Ellenstein wants to raise its visibility in the local community. “So many people in this community have heard of North Coast Rep and have never been here,” Ellenstein said. “I just ask them to come try it once. “We’re the best kept secret to some of the people that live around here.” To learn more about North Coast Repertory Theatre, visit www.northcoastrep.org.

Naked truth: Author shares tales of raw food healing

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Local native Diana Stobo said she’s made the switch from using food as “bad” medicine to using food as “good” medicine, and she’s on a mission to share her story. She is the author of “Get Naked Fast” and “Naked Bliss,” books about the “naked” lifestyle and diet, which is a subset of the raw food movement. Like many others, Stobo said she used food to soothe her in times of stress — especially as a child and teenager. She said eating comforted her in times of loneliness. “Whenever we are sad or confused, we tend to use some kind of stimulation or drug, and in my case, it was food,” she said. To escape being a “chubby teenager,” as an adult she said she began to eat in a way she thought was better. “I thought I lived a healthy life. I thought the foods I was eating were perfectly healthful and inline with F.D.A. requirements (because they were) low fat, low salt, low this, low that. I was doing all these things we think we’re supposed to

Diana Stobo’s book “Get Naked Fast” reveals how to implement The Naked Diet and heal the body with certain foods. (Diana Stobo is pictured on the book cover above.) be doing, and still I was sick,” she said. To help with chronic fatigue, weight gain, thyroid issues and ulcers, among other concerns, she took a variety of pharmaceutical medications. “I had to take a pill just to get out of bed,” she said. Unhappy with how many medications she was taking, Stobo said she began to study nutrition as a way to heal her body. She made a list of foods she wanted to remove from her diet, based on her findings. She cut out meat, dairy, wheat, sugar, caffeine and alcohol, which she calls “The Na-

ked Diet.” “I took those (foodstuffs) out of my diet and lost 10 pounds in 10 days — without going into raw food, just taking those foods out of my diet. That alone detoxed my system,” she said. After eliminating those items she needed to replace them for sustenance, so she started eating raw foods, which “come from the Earth, are unprocessed, uncooked and never heated above 118 degrees,” she said. She also focused on eating foods with healing properties (turmeric, for example, helps with inflammation). While The Naked Diet is a mainstay for Stobo, she also began integrating raw foods into her diet. She said by eating raw foods and being on The Naked Diet, she has healed all her ailments and is not taking any medication. And that’s not with being on the raw food diet 100 percent of the time. She said she eats about 80 percent raw foods. For the average person, she suggests a goal of 50 percent. “If you in-

crease (raw food intake) to 50 percent, you are doing your body a great healing service,” she said. Attaining a diet of 50 percent raw foods is surprisingly do-able, Stobo claims. Changes such as adding coconut milk to coffee instead of cream or making a smoothie at home with fruits and vegetables, ups the percentage. Alternatively, she said if people wanted to eat raw during the day, they could eat anything they wanted for dinner – moderation considered – or go out for drinks. Stobo has her own YouTube channel on which she offers free cooking demonstrations that use raw foods in common recipes. Her Waldorf Salad for example,

uses apples, radishes (which are apparently great for the skin), celery, dried cranberries, pecans, and a dressing made from re-hydrated figs, the water used to rehydrate them, lemon juice, flaxseed oil and curry powder blended together. She also has recipes for raw barbecue sauce and raw creamy carrot soup. She also coaches people through the change in diet and said that her clients tell her “live” food has made them “come alive.” “All these things we walk around with — fear, guilt, self-judgment, weight — it just falls off them,” she said.

West Steak & Seafood features farm-to-table freshness BY KELLEY CARLSON rom locally-grown ingredients to globally-inspired cooking techniques, West Steak & Seafood aims to offer the best of both worlds through its cuisine. Owned by Gary and Mary West of Rancho Santa Fe, the restaurant provides a farm-totable experience with produce selected daily by Executive Chef Eugenio Martignago from his nearby three-acre property. “Food sources, freshness and destination farming are becoming more important to people,” Martignago said in a news release. “Increasingly, guests are asking more questions about local sourcing to determine its quality and freshness.” West Farm — less than four miles away — flourishes with edibles such as heirloom tomatoes, zucchinis and bell peppers, and is nurturing trees that will eventually boast peaches, apples, oranges and other fruits. With such produce on hand, Martignago and Chef de Cuisine David DiSalvo are constantly concocting new dishes and keeping up with the latest cooking trends from chefs in Los Angeles, New York and other culinary capitals. Martignago’s style blends traditional Italian and French influences from his days growing up on a farm in Italy. DiSalvo, a graduate of The French Culinary Institute in New York City, has a more contemporary

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week’s recipe:

West Steak and Seafood’s Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio with Hamachi approach. “Together, we make a pretty good match,” Martignago said. And the duo collaborates to offer a sizable menu for West guests. Customers can get a taste of the restaurant’s seafood selection through the Sea Bass Ceviche, Salmon Tartare and Ahi Poke appetizer, which is served with toast points, wasabi aioli, pickled ginger and mini-vegetable crudités. Or there’s the unique Uni Tagliolini and Caviar, which features buttery house-made pasta served in a spiky sea-urchin shell.

The entrees run the gamut, from the vegetarian English Pea and Carrot Ravioli to Skuna Bay Salmon and Wagyu beef imported from locations such as Japan and Australia. One popular combination is the Filet and Maine Lobster: eight ounces of a broiled Angus-beef tenderloin in a port balsamic demi-glace and a butter-poached, six-ounce Maine lobster tail in beurre blanc. The dish is presented with sides of sweet potato au gratin, French beans, baby carrots and cipollini agrodolce. If everything sounds delicious and it’s difficult to make a decision, a three-course sampling menu is available each evening, which consists of the chefs’ favorites. Those who are adventurous can opt for “A Night with Chef,” a six- to seven-course meal of chops, steak, fish and pasta, created around freshly picked ingredients from West Farm. Martignago presides over the Tuesday menu, while DiSalvo selects the Thursday dishes — each incorporates his own cooking style and personality into the fare. To participate in “A Night with Chef,” 72-hours notice is required and it must be prepaid. Another special menu at West Steak and Seafood is the slow-cooked Sunday Supper. Guests begin the meal with either Corn Chowder with crispy bacon, cheddar cheese

and fresh basil; or the West Mixed Greens Salad with roasted tomatoes, Gorgonzola cheese, balsamic vinaigrette and tossed with caramelized walnuts. For the entree, there’s an herb-crusted Prime Rib garnished with au jus and horseradish cream, or Petite Filet Mignon, charbroiled to one’s preferences. And patrons can select two sides: creamed spinach, portabella fig balsamic mushrooms, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, mac & cheese, ratatouille or truffle french fries. “Growing up in northern Italy, it was a family tradition to gather and enjoy a meal that had been slowly cooked all day,” Martignago said. “I wanted to re-create that experience for our guests and continue the tradition.” The cost of Sunday Supper is $36 per person. In addition, West Steak and Seafood hosts wine dinners about four times annually; the next featured winery will be Cakebread Cellars on Sept. 24. All of these dining experiences are held in an elegant setting. Reddish-orange lights cast a soft glow from wooden beams high above, and candles flicker on tables draped in white cloth. Lights that emphasize the stained-glass windows slowly change color — deep shades of pink and purple, reds and blues — the intimate booths are lit by blue fiber-optic lighting panels.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

George Athan leads the team creating Audi fans BY KATHY DAY When George Athan III graduated from the University of Southern California in 1994, he took a job selling cars in Kansas City, figuring it would be a good summer job. Now, nearly 20 years later, he’s still in the business as an equity owner and general manager of Audi San Diego. After six years at a Toyota dealership in Kansas City, where he met his wife, he said he decided to head west again, taking a job with AutoNation. He began at its dealership in Cerritos before moving to AutoNation locations in Phoenix, Las Vegas and the Orange County. His success caught the attention of Kuni Automotive Group when the Vancouver, Wash., firm purchased Pioneer Centers’ three San Diego dealerships – Audi, Porsche and Land Rover — and two in Denver in December 2011. Moving to San Diego was an easy decision, he said, since he spent his early years in Oceanside where his parents went to high school. He got his first taste of car sales when his dad worked at Team Nissan in Encinitas. His new role as an operating partner gives him the ability to manage as he sees fit for the local market, which stretches from Highway 56 to the border and east to Palm Springs. When Kuni assumed ownership, Audi San Diego was the 94th largest Audi dealership of the 250 in the country; in 2012, it jumped to 39th largest, with 100 percent growth in sales, he said. An interesting point he raised: 20 percent of people buy a car on their first visit to the dealership. Athan and the other new Kuni dealers focused on growing the “import highline” market, which in San Diego is a large percentage of registered owners as a percent of the population. “We want people to drive cars they like,” he said. In Audis, the variety is great – and growing with July’s introduction of diesels in the A6, A7, A8, Q5 and A3. “The diesel is a home run,” Athan said, noting that Audi chose to go with a clean diesel versus a hybrid model.

“These aren’t the diesels of the past. You could start one up here in the showroom and not even know it.” Customer service is Athan’s – and Audi’s — byword. Saturday service and later weekday hours were added after Kuni took ownership. Athan also added a fleet of 95 Audis that customers can use while their cars are in the shop instead of rental cars. They even have a concierge service to pick up a customer’s car and leave a loaner, and a technician on call overnight, who can go out to assist a client in need. Audi San Diego was a sponsor of the recent In Concert for Cancer aboard the USS Midway Museum and is involved with two upcoming events for wounded warriors. And Del Norte and Cathedral Catholic high schools have also been beneficiaries of Audi’s involvement. Athan said he just worked out a deal that has the world’s No. 8-ranked pro surfer, Josh Kerr, as a brand ambassador, and signed a deal with Saint Archer Brewing Co., which opened in May not far from Audi San Diego’s Miramar Road location. Audi also provides cars to the Lodge at Torrey Pines for guests and has Audi magazines in the rooms. The local ties – and “steering toward a younger demographic,” as Athan puts it — are indications of how marketing cars has changed and will continue to change as dealers recognize the power of the Internet. “Our virtual lot gets more looks than our brick-andmortar lot,” he said. With full disclosure on prices and availability now immediately accessible, it is simplifying the negotiating process, Athan noted. It’s all a part of what the carmaker calls “creating Audi fans.” —Audi San Diego, 9010 Miramar Road, San Diego, 92126. Sales: (866) 980-4112. Service: (866) 981-2165. Parts: (866) 980-3423.

CCA student to hold summer concert â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Building with Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to raise funds to build home for a Tijuana family Building a home for a family in Tijuana is the dream of local student Kirsten Chaplin. To help reach her goal, the Canyon Crest Academy sophomore is organizing a summer concert, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building with Energy,â&#x20AC;? on Aug. 24, at 6 p.m., featuring local San Diego musicians, The Lovebirds and Dawn Mitschele. The event will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. Providing a home for a family in need has been a goal for Kirsten since learning of a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bat Mitzvah project through Casas De Luz. Kirsten recently took part in building a community center in Tijuana, which inspired her even more to take on her own project. Kirsten was particularly amazed at the sense of community in the area and the obvious impact that it has made to those who have benefited from having a safe and sturdy home. Now she is hard at work to make the summer concert and a home a reality. Kirsten is working close-

ly with Casas de Luz, a nonprofit social action project currently based out of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito (UUFSD) in Solana Beach. The organization is dedicated to transforming individuals, families and communities on both sides of the San Diego/Tijuana border, and creating self-sustaining change through youth empowerment, cross-cultural relationships, leadership development, and environmental sustainability. The recently-completed community center was the brainchild of the recipient of a home in Tijuana, who is working to improve the lives of the community through providing a breakfast club and a safe place for children to do their homework. Come and enjoy a magical night of music on Aug. 24 featuring The Lovebirds and Dawn Mitschele and help make Kirstenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream a reality. The Lovebirds are a folk/pop duo featuring award-winning San Diego songwriters Lindsay White and Veronica May. Their sound is complemented by that of Dawn Mitschele, best known for her angelic vocals and smooth acoustic style. They will provide a fun and inspiring way of spending a summer evening in the beautiful setting of UUFSD in Solana Beach. The summer concert will be held on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m., concert begins at 7 p.m.) at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, 1036 Solana Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Tickets are $25 and include dessert. If you are unable to make it please show your support for this great cause by making a donation.

Chopra partners with UCSD for whole-person healing approach The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN When mind-body medicine man and spiritual guru Deepak Chopra, M.D., aligns with the venerable power team at UCSD’s Center for Integrative Medicine, you get a holistic prescription for healing from the inside out. Chopra recently spoke at an event hosted by the Integrative Center to launch a collaborative association. (Other healing partners include Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Bastyr University.) The fare served illustrated Chopra and his associate’s determination to walk their talk by nourishing guests with organic and vegetarian delights of red quinoa succotash, assorted gazpacho shots of Heirloom tomatoes, carrot, honey ginger and avocado cucumber, seven colors of the rainbow marinated veggies from orange cauliflower and purple carrots to golden and ruby beets, tapenades of roasted garlic, artichokes and mangoes to spread on multigrain crackers, washing it all down with biodynamic wines from the Organic Wine Exchange. Attention-getting highlights of Chopra’s presentation (reminiscent of a spiritual stand-up comedy routine) began with a navigational tour through the shoals of the five buckets of total wellbeing: physical, community, social, financial and career balance. Chopra also thrilled the audience with assurances that most inherited weaknesses can be overcome (only 5 percent are set in stone like Angelina Jolie’s BRCA1 wired for breast cancer) by reprogramming genes through modifying eating habits and lifestyles, so they don’t behave badly and trigger disease. Chopra said, “even biomarkers for aging can be reversed as genes’ activities are constantly being influenced by breathing, thoughts, desires, drives and eating.”

Hindu Indian-American physician, holistic health/ New Age guru and alternative medicine practitioner Deepak Chopra and the Kitchen Shrink. The Center’s ultimate goal is to transform the health industry into a more holistic-focused lifestyle system. Integrative physician Gordon Saxe, the Center’s director of research, and executive director Gene “Rusty” Kallenberg, M.D., the original architects of UCSDCIM, are still operating on the enthusiastic level of space explorers. Their work infuses the community with a hopeful message of better health through common sense and self-control. The Integrative team put its proselytizing into practical action with acupuncture, a stress reduction program, group classes in tai chi and yoga, osteopathic manipulation, and a series of natural healing and cooking classes. Lauray MacElhern, educator and healing cooking virtuoso is co-founder of the program, which uses a “food as medicine” approach for various classes. This Hippocrates ethos for prevention and wellness is embraced by an eclectic patient body from those with cancer, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions and diabetes to concerned parents, vegetarians looking for nutritional balance and “the worried well,” who want to boost their health and ward off any future conditions. According to Saxe, the camaraderie of the groupbased educational setting is more fulfilling, fun and effective than a one-on-one in a sterile office. The program offers a series of eight interactive classes at the teaching kitchen of Casa de Luz

in North Park. Participants enjoy easy, breezy, tasty, organic plant-based meals, while learning healthful techniques for dialing up the powerful properties and flavors of foods, herbs and spices as they break GMOfree bread with friends. In his three decades of studies, Saxe said he learned about food’s remarkable potential not only to prevent, but even reverse many diseases, including some notorious ones. He advocates a whole food, primarily plantbased diet that is balanced, organic, seasonal and dairyfree with a mother lode of whole grains (quinoa, kasha, farro), cruciferous and brassica vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts), beans and legumes.

Green Bliss Smoothie The Integrative Center contributed this cool summer sip to invigorate your spirits and soothe your soul. Namaste! Ingredients 3 large kale leaves 2 celery stalks Juice and zest from 1/2 lemon 1 1/2 cups of non-dairy milk (almond, hazelnut, hemp) or apple juice 1 cup of grapes (red or green) 1 inch piece of ginger or 1 tablespoon grated 1 frozen banana 1 handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) optional 2 pitted dates Method: Grate ginger, toss in blender with nuts and dates. Purée, then add non-dairy milk, kale and celery. Process, adding extra milk for desired consistency. Add grapes, lemon juice and zest, and frozen fruit. Blend until smooth. Garnish with lemon twists.

‘AmateurPianists’ organization promotes the joy of music, live performances BY KRISTINA HOUCK From graphic designers to teachers, the diverse members of AmateurPianists have one thing in common: their love of music. Based in North San Diego County, AmateurPianists is a membership organization for amateur pianists of all professions who want to perform in front of a live audience. Solana Beach resident Monique Kunewalder helped the group reserve the recital hall for its recent fundraising concert at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “I will do anything to promote music and the joys of playing music,” said Kunewalder, who plays piano and sings in the choir at the church. The 78-year-old has been a member of the group since it launched in 2011. A former piano music pageturner for La Jolla Chamber Music Society, Kunewalder is pleased to have a forum for amateur pianists of all ages. “Many people have heard me play, but I don’t care. I care to promote,” Kunewalder said. “I care to endorse and encourage young people to play music, and I try to give them an opportunity to perform.

With membership continuing to grow, Kramer hopes to organize an international amateur piano competition next year in San Diego to bring even more amateur pianists together. “The organization is flying fast forward,” Kunewalder said. “Glenn’s idea to have an amateur piano competition is also something very special. I think it’s wonderful that Glenn is interested in doing something in San Diego that is necessary and will be highly appreciated.” For more information about AmateurPianists, visit amateurpianists.org.

The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club (DMSB Rotary) recently took one more step in helping to assist and educate the poorest of the poor, especially children and women, of El Salvador. Earlier this month, Jan Parsons, past president of DMSB Rotary, delivered two satchels containing over 100 eyeglasses to Ildiko Tesak of El Salvador, founder of the nonprofit Organizacion y Educacion Empresarial Feminina de El Salvador (OEF). Ildiko, Hungarian-born and attorneyeducated, is also a member of the San Salvador Northwest Rotary Club and an honorary member of DMSB Rotary. The eyeglasses will be distributed to those in need through both OEF and Ildiko’s Rotary Club in El Salvador. In six years of working with Ildiko, OEF, and San Salvador Northwest Rotary, DMSB Rotary has funded a pre-school and computers for it, job-related adult education classes, classes on farming (and cooking) of more nourishing food crops, medical clinic equipment, and many other health and education projects. To personally inspect projects it has funded or may fund, DMSB Rotarians have visited El Salvador twice thus far and are planning a third inspection trip in early 2014. The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club’s primary purpose is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its men and women members from the business, professional, and community-leader communities. To learn more about Rotary and the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club, call Richard Fogg at (858) 693-7556 or see www.DMSBRotary.com. Information about OEF can be found at www. oefes.org.

Kettle Corn battles to victory It was a three-way battle down the stretch to the finish between Kettle Corn, Paynter and Batti Man in the Grade II $200,000 San Diego Handicap on July 27 at Del Mar, with Kettle Corn (outside) prevailing by a half-length at the end. The popular Paynter (middle), who was returning to stakes competition for the first time since his life-threatening battles with colitis and laminitis last year, was second, while Batti Man (inside) came in third. Kettle Corn, ridden by Victor Espinoza, completed the 1 1/16 miles on the Polytrack in 1:41.83, and will run next in the Grade I $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 25.

Miss Cougar Del Mar The Del Mar racetrack crowned its fifth Miss Cougar Del Mar on July 26: Debra Olson from Eureka, Calif. Olson was chosen by a panel of judges from five finalists and 12 total nominees. She presented the trophy to Joe Talamo — the winner of the Cougar II Handicap (right) — in the Winner’s Circle. Judges included Marlo Jordan from MissCougarLife.com; Mighty 1090 and U-T TV personality Scott Kaplan; and Billy Koch, general manager of Little Red Feather Racing. The Miss Cougar Del Mar contest is named for the Cougar II Handicap - Del Mar’s longest stakes race. Women at least 35 years of age were encouraged to submit their best cougar photo with a one-sentence explanation as to why they should be crowned Miss Cougar Del Mar 2013; third parties were also allowed to nominate their cougar friends. Online voting determined the five finalists, and a panel of local celebrity judges selected the winner.

Games, chairs, books, dollhouses and glassware are only a few of the items available at Orphaned Objects.

Helen Woodward Animal Center opening new resale shop, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Orphaned Objectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Helen Woodward Animal Center kicks off its next exciting venture Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. The animal welfare organization with 10 unique programs, dedicated to the mission of â&#x20AC;&#x153;people helping animals, animals helping people,â&#x20AC;? is adding an 11th to its list of businesses. A brand new resale shop, Orphaned Objects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; located on Center grounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will offer visitors an additional must-stop spot. Whether, taking home an â&#x20AC;&#x153;awwwâ&#x20AC;?-inspiring new pet or an awe-inspiring antique table, treasure-hunters are sure to find something perfect to brighten up their home. Best of all, funds from the resale shop go directly to the orphan pets at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Orphaned Objects celebrates its Grand Opening this Saturday, Aug. 3 at 10 a.m. with food, fun, fuzzy friends and shopping. Over the past several months, Helen Woodward Animal Center staff and volunteers have been hard at work cleaning, painting, prepping, and sorting donation items, at the former Center Animal Hospital for the summer premiere of Orphaned Objects. The resale shop will offer an abundance of must-have, gently-used items such as furniture; bicycles; jewelry; sporting goods; pet supplies; artwork; books; housewares; designer clothing; high-end antique items; and a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corner with games, toys and doll houses. The idea of turning the former animal hospital into a resale shop grew out of the incredible success of previous yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wags to Riches Rummage Sales. Helen Woodward Animal Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual one-day rummage-sale has always been a terrific fundraiser, with hundreds of bargain-shoppers lining up, bright and early, in hopes of discovering the very best treasures throughout the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giant pavilion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People love finding bargains and knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping orphan pets too,â&#x20AC;? stated Helen Woodward Animal Center Development Manager Laurel Crump. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought the idea of letting our supporters do that all year long sounded like a good one.â&#x20AC;? The Orphaned Objects Grand Opening Party will include refreshments, exciting feature items brought out throughout the day, visits from Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet Encounter Therapy Pets, Center Adoptables and a fun treasure hunt for $5 gift certificates. Dog and cat animal statues, hidden throughout the store, will hide these valuable coupons as prizes to those who find them first! (One coupon per customer, please.) After the Grand Opening Party, Orphaned Objects will close for two days in preparation to reopen its doors for good, starting Wednesday, Aug. 7. Regular business hours will be Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5 p.m. Donations will be accepted during store business hours. Due to the value and fragile nature of many of the specialty items and antiques, pets are not allowed inside the store. Orphaned Objects respectfully requests that all parents leave their fuzzy family members at home while they shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opening a brand new resale shop has been a gigantic project but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to do the hard work if it can help us save more lives,â&#x20AC;? said Helen Woodward Animal Center vice president of development Renee Resko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so touched by all the wonderful donation items we have received. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lovely way for individuals to give to our orphan pets, even when they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide a home for them.â&#x20AC;? For information on Helen Woodward Animal Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Orphaned Objects Resale Shop or to donate items, click on www.animalcenter.org/orphanedobjects, call (858) 7564117 or stop by Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty ‘Power Trio’ celebrates tremendous growth

•Anni versary of Strategic Alliance highlights the firm’s continued expansion as the county’s fastest-growing real estate brokerage After just one year since announcing the strategic partnership between Brian Arrington, Steve Games and Nyda Jones-Church, Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty has experienced tremendous growth and now counts itself as one of San Diego’s top five real estate firms. Trendgraphix, one of the nation’s leading providers of real estate market data, reports Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty as the fastest growing real estate company in San Diego County with closed sales volume up over 100 percent, and reports indicating that pending sales could reach as high as 1,000 percent over the same time last year. Since creating the “Power Trio” in June 2012, Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty has opened additional locations in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, Del Mar, and Downtown San Diego with additional plans to open in Encinitas in August. Its offices in Point Loma, Mission Hills, Coronado, La Jolla, and La Mesa have also grown as the brokerage continues to expand its market share. “The dynamic partnership we’ve created combines the best in leadership experience, cutting-edge technology, high-end marketing and the unrivaled global reach of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand,” says found-

Steve Games, Nyda Jones-Church, Brian Arrington ing partner and CEO Brian Arrington. “This combination continues to attract new agents and clients. The result is powerful – frankly, nothing is better.” Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty now boasts approximately 330 agents—up about 65 percent from one year ago, when the firm had nearly 200. “Our vision for Pacific Sotheby’s Realty is not to be the biggest in San Diego or Southern California, but definitely to be the best,” says Chairman Steve Games. “We have worked hard to make this vision a reality by building the support and infrastructure our agents need, which has allowed them to significantly increase their production.” “Our agents appreciate the fact that we truly are a locally-owned and managed company. We view our company as a family business and we are present and available to support our agents and employees everyday,” adds COO Nyda Jones-Church. Pacific Sotheby’s Realty is comprised of approximately 330 agents in 13 offices throughout San Diego County. Pacific Sotheby’s Realty’s listings are marketed on sothebysrealty.com global website and benefit from the association with the Sotheby’s auction house and its Sotheby’s International Realty marketing programs.
