New One Paseo ‘community benefits’ presented Response again mixed at public meeting
The inaugural Iron Mike Paddle was held on Aug. 10 at Fletcher Cove. See page B14
BY KAREN BILLING Kilroy Realty unveiled “new community benefits” for its One Paseo project at a special meeting held Aug. 8. The benefits include a tree-lined boulevard along Del Mar Heights Road; a village walk along El Camino Real with a series of public plazas and spaces; a proposed new soccer field at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center; and creating connections to trails that have been missing. Marcela Escobar-Eck, a planner and Kilroy representative, said one complaint they’ve heard from detractors is that the
project is too inwardly focused and creates an island that is not connected to the community. She said that criticism led them to look outward to see how they could change the overall community, which led to plans for several contributions, none of it mitigation, representing over $5 million of “above and beyond” and “extraordinary” benefits. “All of the improvements are external to the project, you don’t have to make one step into the project to enjoy it,” said John Leppert, representing Kilroy. More than 200 people attended the

Aug. 8 meeting on the proposed benefits. The meeting was held at Ocean Air Elementary School. Some in the audience and on the planning board were unconvinced, one audience member likening Kilroy’s improvements to putting “lipstick on a pig.” “To call this a boulevard is really not quite right, this is enhanced landscaping. I don’t see it as extraordinary benefits at all,” said board member Anne Harvey. “This
isn’t it…Thanks for trying.” Other residents appreciated Kilroy’s efforts and felt they had listened to and addressed community concerns. “I think this is fabulous. Many of the people came here with their minds already made up and they’re not even listening to the wonderful enhancements that have been offered to our community,” said Carol Klein, a Carmel See PASEO, Page 8

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach residents could soon be allowed to rent Fletcher Cove Community Center for private parties. Council members agreed on a tentative use policy for the city’s facility during a special meeting Aug. 7. At its next meeting on Aug. 28, the City Council is expected to approve a resolution that details the terms for use of the center during a trial period. The city has considered the issue since the $350,000 renovation of the 1,100-square-foot center was completed in 2011. The city spent nearly $32,000 on environmental studies regarding a proposal to rent the
center for private functions. The controversial issue has pitted people who live near the center against other residents who want the facility to be made available for private events. The council unanimously agreed on a tentative use policy after a local group launched a voter initiative in July to rent the center for private events. “I think it’s important tonight that we need to find balance for the fair use of a valuable public asset and also find balance of protecting the residential neighborhood,” said Mayor Mike Nichols at the start of the special meeting.

Fairgrounds board hears use proposals for satellite wagering center ■ Torrey Pines graduate a finalist on ‘America’s Got Talent.’ See page B1
BY JOE TASH Proposals to turn the satellite wagering center at the Del Mar Fairgrounds into a bowling and entertainment complex, a multiplex cinema and a microbrewery were presented on Tuesday, Aug. 13, to the board that oversees the fairgrounds property. Rather than choose one or more of the proposals,
the 22nd District Agricultural Association decided to study the issue further before making a decision. The district, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, is looking at new uses for the Surfside Race Place, a 90,000-square-foot, two-story building that was completed in 1991. The building was designed to hold 5,000 people per day, but at-

Gunman robs Papa John’s Pizza shop in Carmel Valley BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Police are on the lookout for a gunman in his mid-20s who robbed a Papa John’s Pizza shop in Carmel Valley at Piazza Carmel shopping center. The man entered the eatery at 3810 Valley Center Drive at 10:55 p.m. on Aug. 9, brandished a handgun and demanded cash from employees, said San Diego Police Officer Gerry Waclawek. The suspect fled in a white car with an undisclosed sum, Waclawek said. He was described as black, 5 feet 10 inches tall, muscular and wearing a red shirt.
Sage Canyon principal to become new principal at Sycamore Ridge BY KAREN BILLING Sage Canyon Elementary School Principal Dr. Peg La Rose will be moving across Carmel Valley to become the new principal at Sycamore Ridge Elementary School, taking the place of Emily Morris who resigned last week. La Rose will begin work at Sycamore on Aug. 14. La Rose has worked for the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) for nine years as the principal of Sage Canyon. Before joining DMUSD, La Rose worked in Arizona for 20 years as a school principal, professional development trainer and classroom teacher. “Peg’s vast expertise in teaching and learning, and her wonderful ability to work with people make her an ideal principal for Sycamore Ridge,” said Jason Romero, DMUSD’s assistant superintendent of human resources. La Rose’s move means the new principal opening is now at Sage Canyon. The position has been advertised and will close for applications on Aug. 16. Romero said Sage Canyon staff and community will have the opportunity to weigh in on what they would like in their next leader. On Wednesday, Aug. 21, the district plans to meet with the Sage staff in the morning, and with parents and community members in the afternoon to gather input. The time is yet to be determined and information will be posted on the school’s website. There will be a brief interim time period prior to the new principal’s start and an interim principal will serve during that time. “We are committed to selecting an exceptional principal to lead Sage Canyon and we will make sure there is a smooth transition into the new school year,” Romero said.

Burglars steal about $4,000 in valuables from Del Mar home BY CITY NEWS SERVICE San Diego County sheriff’s deputies/Crime Stoppers is seeking the public’s help in identifying and arresting the daytime burglar or burglars who took about $4,000 in valuables from a Del Mar home July 16. The burglary on South Lane near West Lane occurred between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. that Tuesday, according to sheriff’s detectives. A 60-inch Sony Bravia television and a 40-inch Sony television were taken, along with an iPad, an iPod and a black leather Marc Jacobs handbag, authorities said. Anyone with more information about the burglary was asked to call sheriff’s deputies at the Encinitas Station at (858) 966-3500, or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477; email, sdcrimestoppers.com.
Burglars continue to target North County Schools BY CHRISTINA LONDON AND MEGAN TEVRIZIAN, NBC SAN DIEGO Police are investigating the two latest burglaries at North County schools. Around 3:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 13, a break-in was reported at Del Mar Heights School on Boquita Drive. Then at 4:30 a.m., a similar burglary took place at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School on El Apajo Road in Fairbanks Ranch. Del Mar Heights custodian Jose Casa told NBC 7 he believes someone broke the glass door to the computer lab with a hammer. “I don’t think they went to school, but they’re definitely professionals,” Casa said. In a twist of fate, the burglars got away empty-handed. Casa said the school just received new computers, but didn’t have time to put them out yet. “It worked out for the best,” he said. “Otherwise, we’d be out more computers.” The school plans to take new precautions, including keeping the lights on 24 hours, adding security guards and replacing doors with glass windows in them. Meanwhile, 45 minutes later, the sheriff’s department received an alarm call from Solana Santa Fe Elementary. Officials discovered broken glass, but nothing was reported missing. This is the third time Solana Santa Fe has been burglarized recently. Several other North County schools (Diegueno Country School, Ocean Air Elementary School and Sage Canyon School) have also been targeted in the past six weeks. Apple computers were stolen in at least three of the burglaries. So far, no arrests have been made. Authorities are investigating.

CV performer, Grammy-winning producer team up on music project BY ROB LEDONNE It all started as a fluke: the year was 2006 and Aaron Acosta, then 7, was tagging along with his actress sister Marissa on an audition to give her support. However, when they were in the parking lot, a producer for a different project ran up to him. “He said I should audition for a play he was putting together,” remembers Acosta, now 13, who had never acted before in his life. “I probably would have started acting eventually, but that was my first shot.” Acosta nailed that audition, and then another and another, and six short years later, he’s become a veteran actor and singer with a plethora of credits under his belt. Acosta, who attends Carmel Valley Middle School, has appeared in numerous stage shows around the region, landing his first professional gig, a production of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”, at
Pablo ‘Chino’ Nuñez and Aaron Acosta the Old Globe theater, when he was only 9. “It was a huge and new experience at the time. I was really shy at first,” he notes about performing on a stage full of acting veterans double and triple his age. “It was intimidating. Once I got to know the cast members, it was a great experience. You learn from them, because everyone is supportive of each other.” The young actor scored his next break in 2010, when he appeared in the La Jolla Playhouse production
of “Chaplin,” a show that went from San Diego to Broadway, and scored Acosta’s co-star, Rob McClure, a recent Tony Nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Play. “That experience was amazing as well,” Acosta explained. “We were like a big family. I’m always sad when shows end, especially that one because there were people in it from all over the country.” Throughout all of his stage success, his mother Kathleen couldn’t be more proud. “What’s impressive
about Aaron is that he’s able to stay grounded. He’s well known in local circles and has even auditioned for Broadway a bunch of times. He’s able to handle it all really well.” It’s that ability to perform under pressure which led to his newest project. Acosta is currently putting together a variety of songs with Pablo “Chino” Nuñez, a renowned Grammy-winning salsa producer who has worked with the likes of Marc Anthony and Tito Puente. Nuñez caught wind of
Acosta after, against Acosta’s wishes, his sister Marissa posted a video of Acosta singing on Youtube. A few months later, his father showed it to a friend who knew someone in the music industry, and the opportunity fell into place from there. Said Kathleen: “Aaron is always in the right place at the right time.” The first two songs from Nuñez and Acosta’s collaboration, “Betcha By Golly Wow” and “Dream Lover,” were recorded in Miami this past spring and are
now available on iTunes. (Acosta recorded a salsa version of Betcha by Golly Wow made famous by the Stylistics in 1971 and a Bachata rendition of Dream Lover made famous by heartthrob Bobby Darin in 1959). Time will tell if Aaron will be the Justin Bieber of salsa, so for now he’s taking everything in stride and is gearing up for another year at Carmel Valley, where he also enjoys playing basketball. “My classmates know about my career. Whenever I go to an audition, they always ask me if I got a callback and get really excited. It’s a really good feeling to have friends like that.” Acosta’s friends and coach have taken to calling him by a certain nickname: “Hollywood.” For more information about Aaron Acosta, go to www.facebook.com/aaronacostafanpage.

Casa de Amistad needs tutors and mentors for upcoming school year Adults, high school students welcome to volunteer BY KAREN BILLING Casa de Amistad is getting ready for the new school year and is seeking volunteer study companions to serve as tutors and mentors. The Solana Beach organization is dedicated to fostering education and character development for local Latino children. To help as many students as they can, they need as many volunteers as they can get. Last year the program served 170 students and had 45 on the waiting list. Program director Nicole Mione-Green is expecting similar numbers of students this year, drawing from the Solana Beach and Del Mar school districts, as well as Encinitas. Casa de Amistad started in 1997 as a Solana Beach Presbyterian Church outreach program. It became its own nonprofit in 2001 and the church still donates space for the program on its campus in Debin Hall. Since Casa began, the number of students participating in the program and going onto college has increased. “Casa is really special because it does become like a family and it
is improving lives through education,” said Mione-Green, who is starting her eighth year as the program’s director. “The kids are so open and want help.” Volunteers can also make great connections with the students over the course of a year. “The homework is the hook but it goes beyond that,” MioneGreen said. “The volunteers get as much out of it as the kids do and they’re really making a difference and an impact on their own community.” Casa de Amistad students meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays during two sessions, running from 4:15-5:45 p.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. The goal is a 1:1 or 2:1 students to tutor ratio for the kindergarten through sixth grade participants. “It really does make a big difference,” Mione-Green said. “It’s an hour and a half where the kids have one person who is focused on them and it’s a place where everyone is working toward a common goal.” Middle schoolers and high schoolers meet more in small groups on a variety of subjects. This year Casa is placing a big focus on partnering with the local high school districts to see how they can best support them and hold students accountable.
Students in Casa de Amistad’s summer program make zucchini bread. The Solana Beach program is now seeking volunteers for the school year. PHOTO/KAREN BILLING Mione-Green said they follow a pretty strict schedule, completing homework with mentors and if there is time after they finish, students read or do educational activities. All students have access to a computer lab, filled with donated laptops. Students can get work done in there and Casa parents have the opportunity to access Aries Portal, an open grade book that the local school districts use. The computer lab is a valuable re-
source, as many families do not have computers or Internet access at home. While Casa runs September through May, they do their best to keep the kids busy year-round. Thanks to great partnerships with organizations such as the YMCA and Kids Korps, they were able to send 60 kids to summer camp on scholarship. Casa also had a summer program in August that focused on art and hands-on activities in
math and science. Last week, students made zucchini bread and were tasked with figuring out how to cut the recipe in half. As Casa works closely with school districts, there is never a need to find more students for the program but they are always looking for volunteers, especially with specialties in math, science, English and history. While Casa does have a lot of retired teachers who volunteer, high school student volunteers are also welcome. High schoolers just need to have a 3.0 GPA or higher and a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor. “We want kids who are invested in their own educations and that will be good role models for the students,” Mione-Green said. Volunteer training will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 4, from 5-7 p.m., led by Fred Becker. Becker is the founder of Becker Institute Inc. and is a licensed professional educator. The first day of Casa de Amistad tutoring sessions is Tuesday, Sept. 10. All applicants must undergo a background screening. For more information on volunteering or to make a donation, visit casadeamistad.org.

Local resident and former police officer again named one of San Diego’s ‘top criminal attorneys’ BY JOE TASH You might say Paul Neuharth Jr. has the best of both worlds. He splits his time between San Diego, where he runs a successful criminal and administrative law practice, and his ranch in Oregon, where he raises Black Angus cattle. Recognized this year, and for the past several years, as one of San Diego’s top criminal attorneys by the San Diego Daily Transcript, Neuharth, a local resident, focuses mostly on narcotics and driving under the influence cases, and also is a recognized expert on issues related to the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The 3,000-acre ranch near the town of Bend, in Central Oregon, is a place where Neuharth can get away, either to prepare for a complex legal case, or to clear his mind by cutting down trees and brush, as he recently did with his three teenage sons. “I’ll go to the ranch because I’m not going to be disturbed there,” Neuharth said. “I can completely immerse myself in the case.” Neuharth, 51, has run his law practice as a sole practitioner since 1990, and now employs three support staff and an associate attorney. While the bulk of his practice takes place in downtown San Diego, he also must travel around the country to defend clients in federal narcotics cases. Neuharth put himself through college at UC Riverside and law school at the University of San Diego by working as a police officer, mostly on graveyard shift. For seven years, he worked for the California State University Police, and was assigned to San Diego State University. During that time, he was sometimes loaned to the San Diego Police Depart-
Paul Neuharth Jr. ment’s narcotics team, and he earned seven commendations for his work, including the arrest of a felon on the FBI most-wanted list. Working as a police officer allowed him to make enough money to pay for school, and also gave him a much better understanding of the finer points of police investigations, insight that is helpful to him as a criminal defense attorney. He also served as a union representative during his law enforcement days. “It was a really good way of paying for law school and giving me a good idea of what area of law I wanted to go into,” he said. “I did enjoy the work. I still have lunch every month with the officers I used to work patrol with.” During his legal career, Neuharth has flown below the radar when it comes to media attention, both for himself and his clients, preferring to focus his energies in the courtroom. “I really try to find a back entrance to a courthouse, so I won’t have my clients subjected to cameras,” Neuharth said. Along with defending his clients from criminal charges, Neuharth also helps them with such issues as driver’s license suspensions arising from the criminal cas-
es. In one recent case, he helped a client regain the right to own a gun following the disposition of a criminal charge. He has had three cases published, meaning they are established as precedent for future similar cases. Neuharth, who has represented clients in narcotics prosecutions throughout his legal career, said many of those who oppose the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana and other controlled substances have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Agencies such as the federal Drug Enforcement Administration receive a portion of budgets through asset forfeitures and fines levied against those they arrest, Neuharth said. “They get to keep this money,” he said. “There’s an inherent conflict of interest.” For example, he said, many states, including California, have decriminalized possession of marijuana, and have also passed medical marijuana laws. However, he said, medical marijuana providers can be prosecuted on felony distribution charges under federal law. “It’s a financial reason, not a public policy reason” why federal drug laws remain in conflict with the laws of many states, he said. Neuharth is engaged to Breanna Parton, a college student and mom. When he’s not in a courtroom, law office or chopping down trees on his ranch, he enjoys travel, “really good red wine,” archery and fishing. He doesn’t plan to expand his practice, because he likes having direct control over his cases, which has allowed him to deliver positive results for his clients. “I love what I do,” he said.

San Diego Police RSVP program guards community, seeks volunteers BY SUZANNE EVANS Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) personnel in squad cars daily keep vigil over citizens’ safety in Carmel Valley. They perform such services as patrolling shopping centers, schools, checking on vacant houses, or monitoring isolated areas of parking lots of businesses, such as banks and gyms. “Launched in 1992 in Rancho Bernardo, the RSVP program was the first in the country and has grown to a national level,” said officer Stephen Eisold, administrator of the Northwestern Division’s RSVP program, a branch of the San Diego Police Department. Officers also promote community awareness of the RSVP program. YANA, the police department’s “You Are Not Alone” program, may be one of its least well-known areas of community support. A fleet of 23 volunteer RSVP citizens watches over seniors who live alone, and do not have relatives to help them. “We have one 91-yearold woman in YANA,” Eisold said. “The purpose of
this article is to let our community know that this program is alive. We know there are more homebound, elderly people in this community, they just don’t know about YANA.” “We try to put out two cars a day, and we are always looking for volunteers,” Eisold said of the RSVP program, designed to provide additional service to strengthen the city’s police protection. “We have a sheet of contact information for each senior who chooses to fill out a form (to receive YANA visits),” said RSVP officer Angelika Drake, a Del Mar Mesa resident. She and her husband, Preston, who contribute to the Del Mar Mesa community planning board, frequently go on patrols. “We are partners in high crime,” she teased, although they do not do surveillance together. “Yana is a great program for people who have no children and live alone, yet don’t want to go to a [nursing] home,” Angelika Drake said. RSVP sends those residents a form to fill out, indicating how often
without chance or choice. There are no ‘whys,’ only ‘hows.’ How can they achieve success?” Drake stays as long as she is needed, and asks them questions to invite them to talk. Drake called 911 when she found a woman she visited lying on the floor, unconscious. “The saddest thing is to see an information sheet suddenly missing on an elderly person. That means that they are ill or perhaps have passed away.” Eisold said the police department is looking for more volunteers. Officers must be 50 years of age or older; interested in working with law enforcement officers; have effective oral and written communication skills; be reliable and trustworthy with confidential information; have good health; and possess a valid California Driver’s License.

Del Mar Racetrack seeks to raise autism awareness BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like many autistic children, 8-year-old Andrew finds large crowds and loud noises overwhelming. During Autism Awareness Day at the Del Mar Racetrack, however, Andrew and 19 other children with autism will get to enjoy the Del Mar horse races. “I think it’s going to be a great experience,” said Andrew’s mother, Krystal Langford, who noted her son loves animals. “If it was a normal group setting, he wouldn’t be able to attend because it would be too loud and overwhelming.” The children and their families will participate in a VIP stable tour and join the winner’s circle following the first race, named the “Autism Speaks Race.” Liz Feld, president of Autism Speaks, will also be in attendance. “It’s so important to acknowledge and recognize leadership like we’re getting from the Del Mar Racetrack,” Feld said. “They’re role models for people around the country for doing this. It’s hard to overstate how rare it is for a family affected by autism to go out and be able to enjoy a day like this.” The Del Mar Racetrack is sponsoring the event in coordination with Autism Speaks, a nonprofit organization dedicated to autism awareness, research and advocacy. Langford has volunteered for the organization since her son was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old. “Unfortunately, everybody knows somebody who is affected by autism,” said Langford. “It’s great to attach yourself to an organization that helps you understand what’s going on, not be all alone, and gives you

Autism Speaks has done that for my family.” The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines autism spectrum disorder as “a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior.” According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism affects about one in every 88 American children. “With autism as prevalent as it is now, you can go to any neighborhood and find a family that’s affected by autism,” Feld said. “For the community to recognize that this is part of everyday life now, it’s meaningful.” In addition to Autism Awareness Day at the Del Mar Racetrack, Autism Speaks is hosting other events in San Diego to raise awareness for autism, including Autism Awareness Night at PETCO Park on Sept. 20 and the 10th annual San Diego Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Oct. 5 at
Liberty Station. Langford is the resource fair chair for the walk, and her mother, Kay Curry, is the event co-chair. “The best ways to sensitize people to the needs of those affected by autism is to have events right in their own community so they can see this is going on everywhere,” Feld said. “There are people being diagnosed with autism every 15 minutes right in their neighborhood.” Langford said she is looking forward to spending a day at the races with her family, and is thankful the Del Mar Racetrack will raise autism awareness during the event, which will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Aug. 24. “I love that the Del Mar Racetrack is having this Awareness Day and helping spread the word,” Langford said. “My son’s a part of the community, so I want the community to know my son.” For more information about Autism Speaks, visit www.autismspeaks.org.

PASEO continued from page 1 Valley resident since 1986. “This is so exciting that we could get so much more than what the original plan had.” One Paseo’s current plans for the project are 1.4 million square feet, more than the 500,000 square feet of office space that the project is currently entitled to. Plans include 246,500 square of retail, 484,000 square foot of office, as well as 608 residential units and a “Main Street” with signed anchor tenant Trader Joe’s. The project is still under city review and Carmel Valley Community Planning Board Chair Frisco White said that portions of the Draft Environmental Impact Report will be re-circulated in the coming months, including the city’s request for a study of an alternative that ranges 600,000 to 800,000 square feet. Michael Stepner, a former planning director for
Rendering of proposed One Paseo ‘community benefits.’ COURTESY OF KILROY
the city of San Diego who was involved in the original drafting of the 1975 North City West Community Plan, has joined Kilroy’s planning efforts. Stepner said he believes One Paseo’s benefits maintains the intent of the community plan, to unify the area, create a cultural core and give priority to pedestrians. Stepner said it’s not

about the size of the project or the traffic, it’s about the quality of the place. While his statement elicited groans from a vocal opposition, he continued: “It’s really about the community and the people who live here, creating a place and a space for people,” he said. One Paseo’s plan stresses walkability, ways to make pedestrians feel more comfortable using the community’s broad arterials that can at times feel intimidating and unsafe. “Carmel Valley today is a great community with a great community spirit and great facilities, but the experience is dominated by cars and parking lots. That was not what was envisioned in creating a town center,” said Frank Wolden, an architect working with Kilroy. On Del Mar Heights Road, Kilroy plans to add crosswalks and create a wider pedestrian boulevard separated from the street by landscaping and trees. A bike lane using a seamless or monolithic pour would provide a visual change that delineates the bike lane. A linear park would run alongside Del Mar Heights Road so there would be a green setback with trees and benches before people would see building facades. Kilroy also would like to add in a 500-foot-long, treelined median to break up the “sea of asphalt” from I-5. “It will change what it feels like to drive into Carmel Valley,” Escobar-Eck said. To give a sense of arrival into Carmel Valley, Kilroy is proposing monumentation for the community — it wouldn’t have to be neon like Hillcrest’s signage, Escobar-Eck said, and they would work with the community on the design. Detractors expressed doubt about the necessity of the crosswalks, arguing that nobody will be walking and that One Paseo will be a regional destination served by cars.
Rick Newman said a good study of how useful crosswalks are is the bridge over Del Mar Heights to Del Mar Highlands that he never sees anyone using. “As a driver, I just want to get from point A to point B. I’m not as concerned with how people are getting to the project,” planning board member Nancy Novak said. Stepner argued that the improvements will encourage more people to take to walking or riding. “I’ve heard nobody walks in Carmel Valley,” Stepner said. “Part of it is there’s nowhere to walk to and no way to cross the street.” Carmel Valley import Carrie Mecaro spoke of how she moved to the area from the very walkable city of Portland and would like to see that replicated in her neighborhood. “This project encompasses something that San Diego hasn’t seen,” said Mecaro, noting that One Paseo could inform other projects throughout the city. While there would be added crosswalks and new traffic lights, Kilroy plans to use an adaptive control system to link lights on Del Mar Heights from the I-5 interchange all the way to Carmel Canyon. Leppert said that in San Marcos a similar system has improved traffic 19 to 40 percent — they hope it will keep traffic
moving through the area at a slower speed. On El Camino Real, Kilroy aims to bring energy to the street with “a string of pearls,” a series of public plazas and spaces that are not places in the project but places in the community. As Escobar-Eck said that Carmel Valley has an extreme shortage of playing fields, Kilroy also looked at improving the play facilities at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center. They also would like to change what that edge of Townsgate Drive and El Camino Real feels like. “The 30-foot high wall that separates the road from the main campus is certainly not inviting and the parking lot fulfills the parking requirements, but is certainly the last place you look to park,” Leppert said. Potential plans include a landscaped gateway with a wide- open staircase that leads up to the center, tucking the parking under and covering the parking with a full-size regulation soccer field, arena field or cheer facilities. “This is really a tremendous asset that is really under-utilized,” Escobar-Eck said. White expressed concern that this and other enhancements would actually happen, both timing and funding-wise. Escobar-Eck said Kilroy would take on the design and engineering costs. The project could generate $1214 million in facilities benefit assessment funds that could go toward its construction. White suggested that should the project be approved, Kilroy advance the entire funding for the work and be reimbursed with FBA funds at a later date. He also said they would like to see how these improvements would be maintained over time, possibly working funding, timing and maintenance into development agreements. Escobar-Eck said that
also would like to become “champions” for trail systems. They plan to advance the CVREP trail 1.23 miles under I-5 to link Old Sorrento Valley Road to the existing SR-56 bike path, creating access to the lagoon and ocean. The link is not expected to be completed until 2050. They would also advance an existing dirt path to commercial grade to link the SR-56 bike path with El Camino Real. As has been the case at past community meetings, there was a full audience of supporters wearing green One Paseo stickers and opponents in “Save Carmel Valley” stickers, and the meeting lasted about three hours. “I think a lot of the opposition’s reasons not to support the project are fearbased, the ideas that it could cause traffic or hold-ups — why is that so bad in comparison to what it brings for us?” resident Meredith Victor said and opponents groaned so loudly that White had to bang his gavel and warn that if people didn’t show respect for others’ opinions he would terminate the meeting. “I believe in walking,” Victor continued. “And I think Kilroy has been listening and taking people’s issues into consideration. Let this community grow.” Gabriele Prater, a 22year Carmel Valley resident, admitted that the community enhancements were the first positive things she’s heard about the project and said she’s not opposed to open space, connectivity and sidewalks. “But it’s just icing on the cake,” Prater said. “The problem is and always will be — until it’s solved — the extreme square footage of the development. It doesn’t go away with a couple of pretty trees.” To view renderings of some of the proposals, visit www.onepaseo.com or www.onepaseo.com/concept/the-details
Crime/arrests update from San Diego Police Department Northwestern Division Facebook “Our investigative unit, along with our own Community Relations Officer Natalie Hone, had been working with SDSO and Northern Detectives tracking a burglary suspect. On Monday, July 22, the suspect attempted to burglarize a residence in Northeastern Division. Our officers were on the spot and he and his friend were arrested. Detectives are following up, to date, he is tied to at least seven cases. “Then our Detectives preliminarily identified two more burglary suspects while investigating another daytime burglaries series we have been experiencing here in the Carmel Valley/Del Mar area, where the loss has been primarily jewelry, safes and firearms. To date, we have tied them to eight cases here in Northwestern alone. Chula Vista and SDSO also have victims of the two we identified. Currently, there are four others in custody who were working with the two we have identified. Property from three of our cases has been recovered, and we hope to recover more soon.”

POLICY continued from page 1 Members of the Friends of the Fletcher Cove Community Center launched a voter initiative after the matter was tabled indefinitely when the council debated to a stalemate at its June 12 meeting. The group has noted that residents raised about 60 percent of the funds required for the renovation project, and that the center was rented for private events for more than 50 years before the building began deteriorating. Since then, the facility has been limited to community groups for meetings, classes and city programs. The initiative calls for private use of the center on up to two weekend days per week that must end by 10 p.m., including cleanup. The initiative also limits the city to charging “nominal fees� for special event permits and rentals. The group has to collect 1,301 valid signatures from registered Solana Beach voters, or 15 percent of the total, within 180 days to prompt a special election on the measure. Tom Golich, former Solana Beach mayor and spokesperson for the Friends of the Fletcher Cove Community Center, read a statement on behalf of the group during the special meeting. “We have moved past the point of discussing what the council will permit,� said Golich, who added more than six-dozen volunteers have collected about 1,000 signatures. “Given the two-year histo-
August 15, 2013 ry of gridlock on this issue, we want a decision made by the voters of Solana Beach. We encourage the council to adopt the provisions of the initiative rather than the measures under discussion. Short of that, the Friends will continue with the petition drive.� Several neighborhood residents addressed the council during the meeting and expressed concerns about alcohol being served at events, impacts on parking and noise disturbances. “The voter initiative is a strong-arm tactic, and its policies will create parking and safety problems in the area around the community center,� said resident Victoria Cypherd. “It’s not true that the only opponents for the facility’s use are a few of the community center’s immediate neighbors,� said resident Kelly Harless. “Residents from all areas of Solana Beach are concerned about the negative impacts an unreasonable policy might have, including parking problems, traffic, safety hazards, etc.� After listening to public comments, council members discussed the issue and agreed to make the center available for private events during a trial period beginning Aug. 29, 2013, through Dec. 31, 2014. The center will be available for $50 an hour with a two-hour minimum for noncommercial, onetime events sponsored by a Solana Beach resident who will not be required to attend the event. Applicants can rent the center from 5 to 10 p.m. on Fridays, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. Only one event will
be allowed per weekend, but not on consecutive weekends, and not during holidays and scheduled special events. Including party staff, no more than 50 guests will be allowed at events. Guests will be provided with maps to recommended public parking areas. A security guard will be required for all events. Beer and wine can be served, but there will be a two-drink limit per guest. A trained host will also be required if alcohol is served. “We don’t want to do any harm to anyone,� Nichols said. “Collectively, we came up with a balance to use the asset and try to protect the neighborhood.� Following the meeting, Mary Jane Boyd, a Solana Beach resident and member of the Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center, said the group would continue to collect signatures. Boyd said she believed the council only conceded on rental fees, which were previously proposed at $300 per hour. “They’re still talking about a trial period,� Boyd said. “We are past that point. We’re no longer interested in a trial period because six months from now, or a year from now, we can be back where we started. “If we don’t continue, then where do we end up? Right where we were before we started the initiative.�
FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 from a group led by LandRock Development, calls for a two-level cinema called “Cinequus,� with five screens on the first floor for families and children, and five more screens on the second floor for “elite moviegoers,� with service of alcohol, lounge-chair seating and higher ticket prices. The New Stick proposal by TNS Inc. was the most detailed. According to documents presented to the 22nd DAA, the project would cost $6.45 million to construct, and would generate revenue of up to $49.2 million over five years, using the most optimistic estimates. A third proposal, which would be a joint venture of the 22nd DAA and its food and beverage contractor, Premier Food Services, is the construction of a microbrewery and beer garden at the satellite wagering center, tentatively called the “Equus Brewery and Garden.� Premier vice president and general manager Mark Anderson said the microbrewery could potentially be built in conjunction with either the cinema or bowling alley proposals. While some board members said the proposals mesh with the district’s mission of providing entertain-

ment for the public, at least one member expressed doubts. “It’s mission creep,� said director David Watson, an attorney who has worked on resolving land-use disputes with the California Coastal Commission and other agencies during his tenure on the board. “The criticism we get is we’re going too far afield from our original mission,� Watson said. The district last year settled a lawsuit by the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, over its master plan, which at one point included construction of a hotel, a proposal that was later dropped. The district also settled a similar lawsuit with the Sierra Club, and reached agreement with the Coastal Commission over alleged environmental violations. Watson said the proposals offered Tuesday would require Coastal Commission approval. He also questioned whether the proposals were in line with the district’s own land-use plans. The board voted to send the proposal back for further study by district staff and a board subcommittee, in consultation with the companies that submitted proposals. No date was set for bringing back a full recommendation to the full board.

Del Mar fiesta to raise funds for former racehorses BY KRISTINA HOUCK When racehorses can no longer cross the finish line first, After the Finish Line steps in. Saving them from slaughter and neglect, the nonprofit contributes funds to organizations that rescue, rehabilitate and find new homes for thoroughbreds. “When their racing or breeding career is over, their future is uncertain,� said Dawn Mellen, founder and president of After the Finish Line. “We’re here to stand up for these horses and make sure their welfare is taken care of.� To assist these organizations, After the Finish Line holds several fundraisers every year, such as “A Fiesta for the Horses� on Aug. 21 at En Fuego Cantina & Grill in Del Mar. From 6 p.m. to closing, the restaurant will donate 10 percent of all sales to After the Finish Line. In addition, $1 will be donated to the nonprofit for every “Finish Line� Margarita sold throughout August. “Racing season is the perfect time for us to create awareness and promote the cause of helping the horses when their racing careers are over,� said Mellen, who has a home in Rancho Santa Fe. “I really don’t think people think about what happens to these horses when they can no longer race.� Founded in 2007, the group is entirely volunteer-run. In 2012, After the Finish Line awarded nearly $100,000 to 65 rescue groups helping about 300 horses. In the first five months of this year, the nonprofit had already awarded nearly $60,000 in grants to roughly 30 organizations. “The donations that we receive are for the horses,� Mellen said. “Over the years, it’s been wonderful to give back to these magnificent, noble thoroughbreds. They try so hard on the track. When it’s determined by the owner or the trainer that they can no longer race, we’re there to help them transition off the track and into a second career or re-

Patriot Profiles: ‘We have your grandfather’s remains’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.
BY JEANNE MCKINNEY In August 2012, in the frigid waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, a U.S. Navy Dive team and service members from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) searched for the remains of five Americans lost at sea in November 1942. Mass Communication Specialist 2nd class Martin L. Carey was assigned to document the challenging operation. They were looking for a World War II PBY-5A plane. Wearing a thick wetsuit and equipped with air tanks, weights and an HD camera with lights, MC2 Carey describes, “The water was 30 degrees. At 120 feet down there’s a pretty good current and visibility is extremely limited — about 15 feet.” Carey got a headache and his fingers and toes started to go numb. Freezing cold and depth limited them to 10 minutes. “We were swimming along,” says Carey, “then all a sudden, this big black object started to appear. The aircraft was upside down on its wings, basically untouched, 70 years later.” “We had to do a flyover,”
Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Martin L. Carey PHOTO BY JEANNE MCKINNEY
Carey states, “You swim over the top of the aircraft and shoot video straight down to get an overall view of the site. We couldn’t start excavations until I got the video.” Underwater photography/videography has its own set of challenges and he had one pass to get the lighting and everything else set up correctly. “That’s all there was time for,” remembers Carey, “combined with the cold and getting back to the surface with a limited amount of air…it can
break your focus.” MC2 Carey and his team searched for osseous (bone) remains and any other forensic clues such as personal effects, life support equipment, aircraft data plates, ordnance, weapons, packs, mess kits, uniforms, etc. Carey had to provide historical documentation because it’s treated like a crime scene. Once evidence is recovered, it’s sent back to JPAC’s Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii, the largest, most diverse forensic skeletal laboratory in the world. Lab scientists at CIL use genetic sampling and material evidence to help solve the puzzle of a service member’s identity. Carey’s search and recovery assignments come from Fleet Combat Camera Pacific Command, Naval Base North Island, San Diego. The Navy works with over 400 military and civilian personnel at JPAC command to comply with a Congressional mandate to account for over 83,000 Americans still missing from past conflicts. Following Quebec, the waters of Corsica, France, were much warmer and clearer. “You could see 100 feet down. A B-17 bomber crashed on Valentine’s Day, 1942, and we were looking for one of two crew members (one was found years earlier).” See PATRIOT, Page 22

CCA teen’s concert to raise money to build a home for a needy family BY KRISTINA HOUCK Kirsten Chaplin helped build a community center last spring for families in Tijuana. The experience inspired the Carmel Valley resident to raise funds to help another family in need. “It was the most amazing experience in my life,” said Chaplin, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. “The people there are just so genuine. The kids especially touched my heart.” In coordination with Casas de Luz, the 15-yearold is organizing a benefit concert on Aug. 24 to raise $4,500 to build a home for a family in Tijuana. Funds raised at the concert will benefit Casas de Luz, a nonprofit social action project based out of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “Community service is really important to me,” said Chaplin, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. “I enjoy giving back to the community any way I can.” After Chaplin volunteered with Casas de Luz to build a community center, she approached Kathy Faller, the founder and executive director, with a proposal to raise funds to build another dwelling in Tijuana. “She is so committed to building this house,” said Faller, a Solana Beach resident and 15-year member of UUFSD. “It’s beautiful.” Faller was inspired to create Casas de Luz after she participated in a home build with another nonprofit. UUFSD built the organization’s first home in 2005. Since then, Casas de Luz has constructed 20 homes and two community centers, which serve breakfast to children and offer afterschool programs. The organization also brings weekly donations of construction

Kathy Faller with donations materials, furniture and other household goods to families in Tijuana. “We build homes for families that need a secure structure for their family — a place that’s dry and a place for their kids to get a good night’s sleep before they go to school,” Faller said. It takes at least 15 people to build a 16-by-20 home, Faller said. Homes are painted and feature drywall, electricity, windows and roof shingles. At the end of a build, which takes two days, the volunteers gather in a circle to pass the keys around to the family. “It’s transformational for me, it’s transformational for all the builders, and of course, it’s transformational for the families,” Faller said. “Everybody has tears in their eyes. It’s a very heartwarming and emotional experience.”
All proceeds from the “Building with Energy” concert will benefit the volunteer-run organization. The concert will feature folk-pop duo The Lovebirds and singer-songwriter Dawn Mitschele. “It’s going to be a really fun night,” Chaplin said. “It’s a great way for people to come together and help me build this house. I can’t do it without them and their donations.” The concert begins at 7 p.m. on Aug. 24 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito located at 1036 Solana Drive in Solana Beach. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $25 and can be purchased at www. building-with-energy.eventbrite.com. For more information about Casas de Luz, visit casasdeluz.org.

Longboard luau has funded cancer research for two decades BY PAT SHERMAN For the past 20 years the annual Luau and Longboard Invitational fundraiser and surf competition at Scripps Institution of Oceanography has brought scientists, surfers and entrepreneurs together to raise nearly $6 million for the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Each year the proceeds provide seed money for the kind of groundbreaking research that turns ideas into life-saving innovation. The event features some of the biggest names in surfing. This year’s participating surf legends include Robert August, star of the 1966 surf documentary “The Endless Summer;� Fernando Aguerre, president of the International Surfing Association; Jericho Poppler, a cancer survivor and pioneer of women’s professional surfing; Rusty Preisendorfer, founder of Rusty Surfboards; and Kathy “Gidget� Zuckerman, the inspiration for the fictional surfer played by Sally Field in the 1960s sitcom, “Gidget.� The event starts at 7 a.m. near Scripps Pier, and progresses to a Hawaiianthemed luau on the Scripps campus at 12 noon. Organizers hope to raise $300,000 for research during this year’s event. Event co-founder John Otterson, who returns this year to co-chair the 20th an-
Luau and Longboard Invitational When: Sunday, Aug.18 (surf contest 7 a.m., luau fundraiser at noon) Where: Surf contest near Scripps Pier; luau at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 8622 Kennel Way, La Jolla Shores Cost: Surf competition is free, luau fundraiser is $150 per person Information: (858) 246-1230 or longboardluau.org niversary Luau and Longboard Invitational, said some of the most difficult fundraising is for seed money that helps launch research projects in their earliest stages. The start-up money helps researchers with crucial preparations needed to request more substantial grants from funding sources such as the National Institutes of Health or National Cancer Institute. “It might take $50,000 to pull together the requisite information, data and planning for a seed effort,� said Otterson, a partner in SVB Capital, which supports start-up and emerging growth technology and life science companies. “That is
extremely hard to raise money for ‌ and sometimes (the research) doesn’t work.â€? However, Otterson added, “Some of our most important discoveries have come from that effort. “It’s not like putting your name on a building, but we think it’s extremely meaningful,â€? he added. Moores Cancer Center Director Dr. Scott Lippman said the event has helped fund pilot projects at the center that led to breakthroughs in cancer treatment, such Technetium tc99 tilmanocept, a radio-isotope tagging imaging dye that more efficiently identifies and maps cancer cells during surgery. The technology, designed and developed by researchers at Moores Cancer Center, received FDA approval this year. Sam Armstrong, an investment advisor with Wells Fargo, helped co-chair the first three events with Otterson, and is also returning as co-chair of this year’s event. “We have some of the most famous surfers alive today coming in from around the world for this event,â€? said Armstrong, who has served on the Moores Cancer Center board of directors for more than 25 years (which Otterson also serves on). The morning surf competition is comprised of teams sponsored by corpora-
tions such Qualcomm, Cymer and this year’s title sponsor, Pfizer La Jolla. The competition includes surfers from the local biotech and scientific research community, as well as cancer survivors and entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Rell Sunn Award Each year, an award is presented in the name of Rell Sunn, a U.S. world surfing champion and a pioneer in women’s surfing who died in 1998, following a more than 15-year battle with breast cancer. She was one the surf legends who participated in the first Longboard Invitational. Through the years, the Rell Sunn “Queen of Makaha� Award has been given to pioneers such as J. Craig Venter (2002), one of the first people to sequence the human genome; Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Roger Tsien (2012), who helped discover and develop green fluorescent protein, which can be inserted into cells to help scientists view changes and mutations in real time; and John Otterson’s father, Bill Otterson (1998), a tireless advocate for cancer research who died after a nearly two-decade struggle with multiple myeloma. Armstrong recalled how, as chair of the cancer center foundation board, See LUAU, Page 22

Coastal Communities Concert Band to celebrate retiring conductor at Aug. 18 concert BY KRISTINA HOUCK In five years as music director and conductor of Coastal Communities Concert Band, Dr. Robert Fleming, 71, has traveled a b o u t 150,000 miles. The Phoenix resident flew to San Dr. Robert Diego every Fleming Monday to lead the band’s weekly rehearsals at Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas. “It just became a routine,” Fleming said. “To have the opportunity to work with such a wonderful group, it was worth it.” After about 250 rehearsals and 40 concerts, Fleming is retiring as music director and conductor. The roughly-80 member group will honor his retirement during the Summer Pops Concert Aug. 18 at Carlsbad Community Church. “As the conductor, he knows as much about band, band literature, and how to get a band to perform at top levels as anybody on the planet,” said Jim Reed, a Del Mar resident and member of the band for more than 20
years. “The band has flourished as a family, as a musical ensemble and as a positive contributor to the community with Dr. Fleming’s guidance and leadership. He will be sorely missed as a weekly participant, but welcomed always as Director Emeritus.” Fleming was a music professor, associate director of bands and director of the Sun Devil Marching Band at Arizona State University from 1974 until 2002. For nearly 15 years, he also served as a guest conductor of Coastal Communities Concert Band. Fleming became music director and conductor in 2008. “Making music is a wonderful sensation that not enough people can have because it’s one that requires a lot of talent and a lot of work from a performing standpoint,” said Fleming, who has played the flute since he was 4 years old. “From a conducting standpoint, when you put all that together, it’s just magic.” Under his leadership, Coastal Communities Concert Band has conducted annual concerts benefitting Meals-on-Wheels Greater San Diego, raising more than $60,000. He’s also worked with the band’s
foundation to audition more than 150 local high school students, and awarded almost $20,000 in scholarships to students in the San Die g u i t o U n i o n H i g h School District. Dr. Angela “The Yeung amount of musicality that group has is very uncommon in a community band,” Fleming said. “They’re really fine players. They work very hard.” The highlight of his time with the band, he said, was the group’s performance during the 35th annual convention of the Association of Concert Bands in April in San Ramon, Calif. Fleming said the band received several standing ovations during and after its set. “That concert went extremely well,” Fleming said. “It was probably one of the best I’ve ever been involved in. I think they knew how much I wanted it to be special.” Following the concert, however, Fleming suffered a heart attack during the bus ride home. He was admitted

I’m OK with it now, and it’s going to be fine, but it’s something that I really didn’t want to give up.” The Summer Pops Concert will introduce Dr. Angela Yeung as the band’s new music director and conductor.

American band music and guest performances by saxophonist Rob Verdi and vocalist Michael Ruhl. Fleming will conduct five pieces during the show, most with Verdi. Verdi, who leads the Disneyland Resort’s house jazz band, is a former student of Fleming’s. “He’s such a pro,” Fleming said. “To see what he has done with his career — he’s an outstanding performer. I’m looking forward to working with him.” In addition to working with Verdi, Fleming said he is excited to lead his band one more time.
“I’m thrilled to be doing some more conducting with the band,” Fleming said. “I’m sure I will conduct them more in the future, but it will be back as a guest conductor. “Coastal Communities Concert Band will always have a special place in my heart. It is a family.” The Summer Pops Concert begins at 2 p.m. on Aug. 18 at Carlsbad Community Church.

Sandpipers Square Dance Club to hold new classes in Solana Beach Classes open for all, ages 10 and older Swing your partner ’round and ’round with the Sandpipers Square Dance Club beginning Sept. 10 at La Colonia Community Center in Solana Beach. “Square dancing is such a fun, welcoming, healthy activity,” said Larry Anderson, who serves as club president with his wife, Nancy. “People that get into it stay with it.” Now in its 41st year, the Sandpipers Square Dance Club is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization. The club is operated by its members and is an affiliate of the Palomar Square Dance Association.

Loving home sought for terminally ill dog BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The Helen Woodward Animal Center put out a call Aug. 13 for a big-hearted household willing to adopt a dog that survived Hurricane Sandy only to be diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Rio, a 5-year-old black Labrador retriever blend, arrived at the Rancho Santa Fe animal center last November along with other dogs and cats that had been in an East Coast shelter when the catastrophic storm hit and left the facility uninhabitable. Though Rio’s advanced illness has left her with a prognosis of only months to live, she remains ``an incredibly affectionate dog with the people she gets to know and love,’’
according to HWAC animal trainer Rob Kuty. ``But she needs a very special home due to her condition,’’ Kuty noted. Rio, who has been prescribed several medications, would do best in a low-key household with one or two adults and a fenced-in yard, according to staffers at the animal center. She cannot go hiking or jogging but enjoys short, slow walks, they say. Also, her condition has precluded a spay surgery. ``Animals know when they’re sick, but they can’t process what is actually happening to them,’’ Kuty said. ``Because of this, she is timid when she meets new people, can get stressed at times and likes the security of her crate.

is exceptionally sweet with other dogs and cats, but it’s important that she stays fairly calm, so mellow pet friends are best.’’ Upon hearing Rio’s story, Del Mar Albertsons/Sav-On Pharmacy store director Shaye Holden called the animal center with an offer to cover the costs of Rio’s medication expenses for any foster family willing to take her into their home. ``We’re hoping this gesture will motivate someone in the community to welcome Rio into their family,’’ Holden said. Anyone interested in adopting Rio or getting more information about her is asked to call (858) 756-4117, ext. 375.

Torrey Pines Rotary Club’s Care ‘n Share Toy Drive a success The Care ‘n Share Toy Drive project of the Torrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary Club was a tremendous success again this year thanks to the generosity of the San Diego community. During the 24 days of the San Diego County Fair the Care ‘n Share Toy Drive had a booth and collection bins at the Fair where new and gently used stuffed animals were collected. Torrey Pines Rotary Club members staffed the booth, with good help from fellow Rotarians around the County. “Fairgoers who played the midway games and liked to win but didn’t really want to keep the prize were most generous in their donations of their prizes for others who were less fortunate,� said Del Mar resident Nancy Stoke, chair of the Care ‘n Share Toy Drive. “Other donations came from those who had stuffed animals at home that were no longer being used and were in need of a good new home. One family in Carlsbad generously donated a collection of over 850 stuffed animals in memory of a treasured son
who had recently died of cancer. It was an emotional moment for all of us,� Stoke said. In all, over 5,500 stuffed animals were distributed this year to sick children in the region at Rady Children’s Hospital, Children’s Lifeline, Hospital Infantil de las Californias, and Flying Samaritans. This was the fifth year of this project, and to date over 20,000 stuffed animals have put smiles on the faces of sick children. For more information, visit www.torreypinesrotary.org.

New Rotary President returns from international convention in Portugal Steven B. Weitzen, the newly-installed president of the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club and an attorney by profession, recently returned from Rotary’s International Convention in Lisbon, Portugal. He described it as “awesome to see over 20,000 Rotarians from around the world, all having the same values of service to others and many wearing the traditional clothing of their own countries.� “It also was inspiring to learn that the Gates Foundation has committed an additional $35 million per year to support Rotary’s work to wipe out polio worldwide.� Back from the Rotary Convention, Weitzen’s top goals for the Club are to ensure 100 percent member support of the Rotary Foundation, which matches funding for the Club’s international projects (and much more); have all members participate in the Club’s 2014 El Salvador trip if they haven’t seen the Club’s projects there yet; and increase membership by two - three new members.
Past President Richard Fogg (left) turning over the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club presidency to newlyinstalled President Steven Weitzen (right). Why he joined DMSB Rotary? Weitzen cites the Club’s vibrancy, its friendliness, and its commitment to service to others. His most poignant memory of Rotary’s power to help others was from his early trip to see the Club’s projects in El Salvador. In a poor, remote village, he saw a young girl with a deformed face that was diagnosed as a tumor by a fellow Rotarian and medical doctor, who then ensured that the girl received the medical treatment she needed without delay.

PATRIOT continued from page 12 The Corsica B-17 wreck is a popular dive site. “People do take stuff – we saw that,” Carey informs, “We typically don’t bring anything back unless it pertains to the individuals or some piece of equipment we need. In both locations [Quebec and France] we did find osseous remains,” he adds, “We try to leave as small a footprint as possible.” “For those who may have witnessed a crash as teenagers or are related [to the service member], our coming back 70 years later with the recovery is very emotional and they appreciate it,” says this can-doanything sailor, who wanted to join the military as a boy. Growing up in a family of locksmiths from Ft. Wayne, Indiana, Carey had never done photography and only tried scuba diving once. “I’m a very confident individual,” Carey assures, “From day one, I was going to do the best on every test, apply myself fully and just crush it.” He crushed the “A” course at Defense Information School, graduating
“Top of the Class.” While finishing up DINFOS, getting mass communications skills under his can-do belt, Senior Leadership from Combat Camera paid a visit. “They interviewed about half a dozen of us, trying to get a feel for our mindset, because Combat Camera deploys in hostile environments — front lines. We document operations like that.” They were also recruiting for divers. Carey knew, “Absolutely – I’ll get through that school, no problem.” Six weeks of training at the Navy Dive and Salvage Training Center prepared him for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2011. “We did a lot of work with a Navy Dive and Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit,” states Carey. EOD conducted Anti-Terrorism Force Protection dives — dismantling and rendering safe inert underwater mines. “My job as a photographer was to document training exercises above and below the water.” Carey’s been on actual ATFP dives, inspecting foreign piers and the hulls of ships bound for U.S. ports
for explosives or threats. He’s also documented military operations exchanges with friendly countries – strengthening international ties, along with training for large remote-controlled EOD Robots. They can be driven up to a suspected IED site, survey with its cameras, and diffuse or place a charge to disrupt it, according to Carey, protecting service members, civilians, or anyone from harm. “My mom was concerned the military would change me and I would be a different individual. If anything, it’s reaffirmed who I am. I’m a very outgoing and goofy person. I have a great time.” Lieutenant Miranda Williams affirms, “Any time we need him to go on any deployment — any job — he’s absolutely reliable. Does it right the first time — no questions.” “He’s an outstanding operator and sailor, just an allaround good guy,” adds Combat Camera Commanding Officer Matthew A. Young. Carey earned “Junior Sailor of the Year” in 2011, adding to other official military recognition. He was awarded The National Defense Medal for enlisting
during a time of war and multiple medals for his work in Bahrain. A threeyear Good Conduct Award further reveals the true nature of this native son. Some rewards are more private and personal. ”Truly the biggest impact [the Navy] has had on me is I’ve made the best friends of my life.” He hopes the junior sailors he’s mentored know, “They can do anything… Their career is in their hands and to not hold back.” Rewarded is how he feels when he thinks if he’d never met his grandfather and got that call or letter saying, “We have your grandfather’s remains.” Carey gets goose bumps every time he sees the American flag or hears the National Anthem, stating, “It just changes your life.” Today, MC2 Martin Carey works in the Chief of Information office at the Pentagon. He says he misses the underwater photography and traveling to new and different places in the world. No matter what service he gives to his country, Marty’s having “a great time.”
LUAU continued from page 14 Bill Otterson once chided him, “ ‘You’re never going to raise any money from surfers; everybody knows surfers are a bunch of bums.’ “Of course, he knew his son (and I) were working together on this,” Armstrong said. “We met his challenge and then some.” This year’s Nell Sunn Award will be presented to Kary Mullis, bringing the event full-circle. In 1993, Mullis won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction, considered one of the most monumental scientific techniques of the 20th century. An avid surfer, Mullis also took part in the first Longboard Invitational, and served as an honorary event co-chair. (Mullis and Sun surfed on a team together that first year.) Armstrong said Mullis, Venter and Tsien are “the cornerstone” of today’s microbiology-biotech revolution. “These are the guys that are really the foundation of all of it,” he said. The 24-Karat, gold-plated Rell Sun Award is made by Chicago-based R. S. Owens & Company, which makes the Oscar statuette for the Academy Awards. It
includes the inscription, “From Whence We Came,” taken from John. F. Kennedy’s speech to the America’s Cup crews in 1962. Charity auction One of the items up for auction during this year’s luau is a private tour for up to 10 of the new J. Craig Venter Institute on the UC San Diego campus, led by Venter himself. Additional auction items include surfboards designed for the event by some of the most renowned shapers in the business, including those by Larry Gordon of Gordon & Smith Surfboards, and a joint creation by Steve Walden and Al Merrick. Their long- and short-board combination, titled, “The Long and the Short of It,” is an homage to Merrick’s 8-year-old granddaughter, Daisy Love Merrick, who lost her battle with cancer in February. The inside of a daisy that spans both boards includes the names of all the professional surfers who have participated in the event through the years. In addition, the Healthy Foods Kitchen at Moores Cancer Center will prepare a feast featuring organic produce and foods packed with cancer-preventing nutrients. Entertainment includes a performance by Hawaiian folk rock singer Anuhea, and traditional Polynesian dancing from Heali’i’s Polynesian Revue.

Proposed Del Mar housing project: Wrong location Del Mar government and developers are now planning to house 54 families on the southeast corner property at the intersection of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Road. Same intersection which is Del Mar’s north portal entry. A crucial designation location of significance. Residents have long stood strong to ensure our city entry would be symbolic of Del Mar life: ecologically sensitive to lagoon, bluffs, residential neighborhood, etc., in other words, exemplify an environmentally-sensitive land use. Cities can rebirth themselves, like our neighbor Solana Beach, while others like Del Mar might hit hard times, lacking creativity to revive downtown commerce and now proposing structures for 54 families to live on this corner. City government of Del Mar has now exposed itself, not to share the same considerations nor values as the majority of Del Mar citizens. Instead, they are committed to discard Del Mar zoning laws, which are our fundamental protection from irrational harmful change. Our city has already laid the ground work to move forward with this obscene and violative plan. Their misguided plan is to change zoning code to permit residential high density use, destroy current height restrictions where natural bluffs and topography are viewable, and destroy life and home values of those neighboring residents whom believed they were protected from this type of community land plan change. Unfortunately, our government has victimized itself by not timely planning according to California state law. Now, instead of dismissing staff or holding them responsible, Del Mar government chooses to ignore Del Mar residents values and all their hard-fought, 20 years-plus, battles over the sensitivity concerns about this property. City residents of Encinitas, in order to protect themselves from their city government’s contrary interests and lack of sensitivities, has recently passed Prop A. Now, the city of Encinitas can no longer change zoning laws without a public vote. This is the time, Del Mar citizens remove the power to change zoning laws from our government administrators. The power to change Del Mar citizens lives so drastically, by changing zoning laws in the city land plan, is too much power for only a few government officials to wield. Del Mar Hills Community Association stands behind the old saying “The buck stops here!” Since our government chooses not to be representative of what we have expressed and honored, since forever, then our entire community will need to unite and do that which is right. Tell each and every city council person to stop and listen to the community. Stay in touch, receive all pertinent news, connect: Del Mar Hillside Community Association: delmarhillside@yahoo.com.

Proposed Del Mar apartment complex project too big Re: Massive 54-unit apartment complex proposed for the north entrance of Del Mar: “The Watermark Project.” Del Mar residents have fought over and over again to prohibit massive development on the property southeast of the Jimmy Durante and San Dieguito Road intersection. There was an environmentally and community sensitive office building approved for these two lots. Now new plans! Here we go again. A 54-unit apartment complex. No thank you! We need to let the City of Del Mar know our concerns as the city wants this project. The City of Del Mar has gotten itself in a pickle because “The 2005 - 2012 Del Mar Housing Element was not ‘certified’ by HOC as being in compliance with State law.” To satisfy the state requirements for low income housing the city is proceeding at full speed. Page 86 of the 2013 - 2021 City of Del Mar Housing Element: “to accommodate the City’s RHNA for lower income units (22) within 12 months of adoption of the 2013 - 2021 Cycle Housing Element, the city will pursue a zone code amendment and associated actions to assign a new land use designation for these two properties allowing residential development at a density of 20du/ac or greater.” We, the community, need to get involved to express our concerns in the development and over development of our community. Del Mar is not a community of high-density living. The north entrance of Del Mar already has traffic density issues at times but is peacefully quite at non fairground time. There are alternatives for the low-income housing element. Let’s legalize those second dwelling units that already house low-income home workers, students, caregivers. The city is adopting modifications to its land use regulations to create additional incentives for the use of the second dwelling unit program. Let’s work together and not over build our beautiful, peaceful Del Mar. Annette Wiesel Del Mar LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
One Paseo is taking the right steps I attended the Aug. 8 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting at which Kilroy’s design team discussed the community benefits associated with the One Paseo proposal. The presentation and discussion purposely excluded any project-specific details, instead focusing on proposed improvements outside the project boundaries and proposed methods to interconnect the project with the greater community. Most of what I heard I liked. Some of the ideas need more consideration and discussion. Most importantly, Kilroy demonstrated that they are listening to the voices of the community. I liked the community benefits proposed by Kilroy. I like that they have hired Mike Stepner, former city architect who helped pen the original Carmel Valley (North City West) Community Plan. He is “big picture” thinker and an asset to the Kilroy team. I like that they are opening up the design and looking “from the outside in” with improvements to better integrate the project within the context of the community. I like that their emphasis is on place-making and the human/pedestrian experience. I like that they are committing to a loop shuttle to connect the town center area to surrounding neighborhoods. I like their efforts to make better community linkages, notably with the Carmel Valley Rec Center. As a cyclist and Torrey Pines Reserve enthusiast, I really like their offer to build the I-5 undercrossing for the SR56 trail. While I was impressed with most of what was discussed, I believe we can and should expect more out of Kilroy and our planning board. I heard from more than one board member a desire for a frontage road along Del Mar Heights Road to access One Paseo. I can support a turnout lane but I do not support the notion of a frontage road. Adding a frontage road creates more paving and the perception of wider streets at the expense of the pedestrian and bicyclist. This is not Clairemont Mesa. More effort needs to be done to seek creative, outside-the-box solutions to address overall community mobility. Adding lanes is not the only solution. The Aug. 8 planning board meeting made great strides in establishing a more meaningful dialogue between Kilroy and the community. I heard Kilroy provide substantive details and offer real community benefits in response to community comments. Let’s build off this momentum and keep the discussion going to find a project design of appropriate size and scale to create our town center and maintain our community character. There’s still much work to do… Robert Scott, AICP, LEED AP Robert Scott is a land-use planner and 10-year Carmel Valley resident.

Paseo Pearls, Piazzas, Platoons BY BUD EMERSON O n Thursday, Aug. 8, the One P a s e o project presented a parade of project planners who patronized people of Carmel Valley with pretty pictures of pods, piazzas, pearls and platoons purporting to placate problems posed by their project plans. Pardon my p’s, but it was pathetic. Seriously, it was insulting to the audience of well more than 200 for Kilroy developers to rhapsodize about this gargantuan project without addressing real facts and figures about its impact on the community’s quality of life. This proposal is three times the square footage allowed by the zoning in the adopted community plan, a whopping 1.4 million. Tenstory buildings. Traffic counts on surrounding roads that add up to an “F” rating where gridlock already exists at peak commuting times. It is three times as large as UTC. It was disappointing to
hear the weak questioning that came from members of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board that will eventually vote on this proposal. Only Ann Harvey spoke forcefully about how inadequate the presentation was in proposing “public benefits” that would justify the extraordinary upzone. Bob Fuchs, of “What Price Mainstreet?’ summed it up in less than a minute, “Very nice icing, but the cake gives the community indigestion!” It’s cumulative impact on the region will be even greater when you add it to the increases already allowed at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center center across the street, the enlarged UTC, the bigger Vons center on Del Mar Heights Road, and the expanding Flower Hill center on Via de la Valle. Add in the fairgrounds growth aspirations and expansions up the freeway on two Lomas Santa Fe shopping center properties and we look much like Orange County — multiple shopping centers off of every highway exit. One wonders how many shoppers it will take
to support all of these outlets. This at a time when trend lines show huge increases in online shopping — only buildings that are needed are warehouses to ship products to our door fronts. It was especially disappointing to see that Kilroy’s payroll has roped in former respected San Diego urban planner Mike Stepner, along with faculty of UCSD’s New School of Architecture to sing their praises. Kilroy seems to be in a full court press to ram this proposal through. One piece of encouraging news came out of the meeting. A decision by disgraced Mayor Filner will be implemented. The Environmental Impact Report will need to be redone to analyze a potential project alternative of 600-800,000 square feet. Such an alternative with emphasize on controlling traffic impacts might be the answer the community seems to be looking for. Continued citizen vigilance is critical. Whatpricemainstreet.com is a good resource to keep informed and involved. It is our community — let’s protect it.
More needed to stop pot/tobacco smoking at race concerts I agree with the letter to the editor “No smoking signage and enforcement needed at race concerts.” The writer is spot on regarding the lack of signage and enforcement. At last Friday’s race concerts, I watched several sheriff’s deputies stand in front of a group of smokers and do nothing. I guess they leave the no-smoking enforcement to the security hired by the fairgrounds. The security is far too sparse to be effective. Not only was there tobacco smoking, but marijuana as well. We should do more at these publicly-owned venues to strictly prohibit marijuana/tobacco smoking, especially if they are allowing all ages to attend. Kelsey Cross Del Mar
One Paseo is not a Cedros, Del Mar Village or Little Italy In the Aug. 1 issue of the Carmel Valley News, Kilroy Realty’s ad suggested that One Paseo could be Carmel Valley’s Cedros, Del Mar Village or Little Italy. Then on Thursday evening, Aug. 8, at a special meeting of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, the Kilroy Realty team presented to the board and approximately 200 attendees, the “extraordinary,” “new community benefits” that are planned as part of One Paseo They stated that many of these benefits were in answer to criticisms that there was little connection between the project and the community. So how are they going to connect the project with the community? The board and audience were guided through large, colorful renderings of the “benefits,” all outside of the project. Their plan is to use “enhanced pedestrian crosswalks” to connect One Paseo with our community, three along Del Mar Heights Road and two along El Camino Real. In a very limited sense these are connections to the community, however, far from the physically intimate connection which characterizes Cedros, Del Mar Village and Little Italy. The beauty of each of these three centers is the seamless connections which give each the feeling of a true village. Retail, commercial and residential all function as integral parts of an entire community, not as physically separate entities. Face it, One Paseo is an auto-dependent island no matter how many “enhanced pedestrian crosswalks” are put in place. One particularly intersecting community connection is the gateway plazas proposed for the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real. The drawing shows people sitting, standing and enjoying the view. Who wouldn’t want to sit at the corner of a busy 12-lane intersection experiencing the sounds and breathing in exhaust fumes? Let’s get real. One Paseo has more in common with UTC and Fashion Valley Mall than with Cedros, Del Mar Village and Little Italy. Don’t be fooled by the slick marketing and the empty promise of a connected community center. Gene Helsel, Carmel Valley
Respect allows us to work together to find solutions In answer to the question posed by Michael Hayutin in the Aug. 8 edition of this newspaper, ”What’s wrong with this picture?” What is wrong is Mr. Hayutin has been blinded by hate. We are a country of individuals that need to function as a group, and that means compromise. We are all Americans. Hate, lack of respect for one another, that’s what is wrong. Hate, anger paralyzes us, it turns off our abilities to think and find solutions. Hate shows itself in rant and rage. Love, respect, compromise opens us up to use our minds, it frees us to see beauty and joy, and have healthy relationships. Respect allows us to have differences and still work together to find solutions. Now that Mr. Hayutin has expressed his opinion I hope he can take a good hard look at himself. Maybe then he can move on and come together to find solutions instead of throwing stones at people that may look, do or think differently than he does. Nancy Reitzler

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Citizen Group forms in response to Initiative Fletcher Cove Community Center Voter that threatens public access at Fletcher Cove Initiative effort to continue A group of Solana Beach citizens are mobilizing to protect public access to Fletcher Cove Community Center (FCCC) and adjoining Overlook Park, Fletcher Cove Park and nearby coastal resources. The new group, Friends of Fletcher Cove, formed out of concern about the misinformation being disseminated to the community via spam emails, advertorial articles, and paid signature gatherers by sponsors of a proposed Voter Initiative that forces the City to allow unrestricted private parties with unlimited alcohol at FCCC. These targeted messages are misleading and crafted to sway voters into signing a petition that will force the city to hold a special election at a cost of $300,000 The Initiative, if passed, will cause the total loss of already scarce public parking in the area of Fletcher Cove Park, the beach and FCCC on weekends. The resulting loss of parking will severely restrict public access to Fletcher Cove Park, the beach and the picnic and bluff-top viewing areas at Overlook Park. “Friends of Fletcher Cove” filed a Statement of Organization with the City of Solana Beach to form a political action committee. If the Initiative qualifies for a special election, the Committee will be positioned to participate in the election. Also, on behalf of the Friends of Fletcher Cove, Kelly Harless requested that the City Council put a competing Initiative on the ballot in order to give the voters the opportunity to vote for a reasonable policy that will balance and protect public access and parking in the area around FCCC. “Many of us have been talking with our friends and neighbors and we found that they do not have all the facts about the current daily uses at FCCC or the potential consequences the Initiative will create,” said Kelly Harless, one of the group’s founders. “Also, many residents are not aware that the City has a new policy in
The photo above was taken on Aug. 3 at 5:30 p.m. on Pacific in front of the Fletcher Cove Community Center. place that allows residents of Solana Beach to rent Fletcher Cove Community Center on weekends for private parties that includes beer and wine.” The Friends of Fletcher Cove support the City Council’s newly developed policy that will allow rental of the FCCC for private parties. The new use policy is a true compromise that sets reasonable rules that can be enforced and modified if problems arise. The City’s new policy allows for private rental of FCCC on alternating weekends and preserves public parking for access to the beach and parks in the surrounding area. Unsatisfied with the City’s compromise on the FCCC use policy, the Initiative sponsors will not budge an inch. At the Aug. 7 meeting they took an all or nothing position and threatened to pursue the Initiative regardless of the City’s new compromise policy. Their Initiative, if passed, quadruples frequency, doubles occupancy, allows unlimited alcohol consumption, amplified live music, uses all the public parking in the area, and restricts public access to the areas adjacent to the building. The Initiative sponsors falsely claim FCCC is hardly used. However, the City’s own schedule for FCCC shows that every month throughout the year the facility is used daily, Monday through Saturday, often from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., including meetings on some nights lasting until 9:30 p.m. Uses before and after refurbishment of the facility include educational classes, meetings of non-profit organizations, summer camp and many other public activities. The Initiative allows for private parties of 100 people on Saturdays and Sundays every weekend of the year until 10 p.m. This intensive use will consume all available public parking in the area every weekend when the demand for parking is highest. This will restrict public access and the use of Overlook Park and Fletcher Cove Park. The initiative will override City laws and cannot be modified by the City Council, even if it causes problems. For example, FCCC does not have any onsite parking, except two handicap spaces for access to FCCC and Overlook Park. Failure to provide parking for 100 people is a violation of the City’s own parking code, but the Initiative creates an exception. The Friends of Fletcher Cove and neighbors in the area support all of the existing public uses and support the City Council’s new compromise policy for private parties at FCCC. However, if problems arise, it is imperative that the City be able to modify the policy. The voter initiative is a strong-arm tactic and its policies will create parking and safety issues in the area around FCCC. The Friends of Fletcher Cove believe this is the wrong way to establish a policy for use of this public asset. — Submitted by Kelly Harless on behalf of the Friends of Fletcher Cove.
Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center are continuing their effort to collect signatures. The voter initiative is the only legal process open to the residents of Solana Beach in order to obtain reasonable use of the Community Center. Based on more than 1,000 signatures obtained in less than one week, it is clear the voters want to exercise their right to make a decision on this issue. The citizen’s voter initiative protects the long-established character of the neighborhood in which the Fletcher Cove Community Center is located. It does this by use of the rule of law. The municipal code for residential zones governing noise, parking and behavior will be enforced. No hard liquor will be allowed and the city resident(s) sponsoring the event will be legally and financially responsible. After the voter initiative was launched, the Solana Beach City Council called a special meeting on Aug. 7 and quickly put in place some restrictive rules for a “trial period.” After two years of not making a decision, these temporary regulations simply kick the issue down the road until after the next city council election. There is no guarantee of what will happen after December 2014. A summary of what the City Council is willing to permit during a trial period with no guarantee is: The Community Center may be used only two days per month, excluding holidays, resulting in possibly only 16 events per year; the number of attendees at each event is limited to 50 people which includes caterers, musicians, security guards and bartenders. Alcohol is limited to a maximum of two glasses of wine or beer per person over a six-hour period and a City-approved bartender is required to monitor the number of drinks served. Additionally, a City-approved private security guard is required for all events. Microphones, amplifiers, DJ’s are not allowed. Parking on public streets will be restricted. The rental of the room does not include the use of the adjacent patio and small lawn area. The voter initiative sets very reasonable conditions in order for residents to enjoy the use of the Community Center for private family celebrations. It allows full use of the facility with the number of people attending to be determined by rules established by the City’s Fire Marshall. It does not impose restrictions on access to the adjacent patio and lawn area. The initiative assumes that Solana Beach adults will drink responsibly and imposes no restrictions, except prohibiting the serving of hard liquor. It imposes no restrictions on the type of music beyond the decibel limits specified in the Municipal Code. It imposes no restrictions on parking except those specified in the Municipal Code. It recognizes there will be fees for cleaning and liability insurance but calls for nominal fees for maintenance which are already paid for by taxpayers. In summary, the voter initiative sets very reasonable conditions in order for all Solana Beach residents to continue to use and take full advantage of the facility as they have done for the past 50 years. “It is clear to me,” said Jim Nelson “that the City Council’s proposal is overly restrictive, not user friendly and designed to discourage residents from using one of the most unique and special community assets in the City. We want the long-standing established City ordinances to govern noise, parking and use of this facility.” According to Mary Jane Boyd, “We object to these unprecedented special rules and new guidelines established by the City Council. We will continue to collect voters’ signatures and go forward with the initiative process until the Council is willing to listen.” -Submitted by Jim Nelson on behalf of the Friends of Fletcher Cove Community Center (FFCCC).
SB City Council’s proposed Community Center policy a fair compromise I have followed the debate over renting out the Fletcher Cove Community Center for private parties. On Aug. 7, 2013, the Solana Beach City Council established a policy allowing private parties that seems quite reasonable given the fact that the Community Center now sits next to a busy family park, popular beach and crowded business area with limited parking. The City’s policy allows private rentals of the facility every other weekend for 50 guests with beer and wine. The group gathering signatures for a Voter Initiative calls the City policy “too restrictive,” and seeks to double the number of guests, pile on unlimited alcohol and allow parties on two days, every single weekend. Proponents of the Initiative recall parties held at the facility in previous decades. The reality is that private parties have not taken place at the facility for a good 10 to 15 years. And during that time, the large parking lot has been replaced by a much-loved family park. This has led to more visitors (including children) and increased traffic which, in turn, has led to less available parking and more safety issues. Policies need to reflect a community’s current status and needs. The City’s policy to rent out the Fletcher Cove Community Center does just that. It’s a compromise that allows private parties, while keeping the parking, traffic and safety issues in check. Robert Glatts Solana Beach
SBAs Council’s compromise addresses problems related to parking, access and safety a nearby resident and property owner (within a just voted in a policy allowing private parties at the Com- the cost of the facility’s refurbishment! Plus, it is not true stone’s throw) of the Fletcher Cove Community Center, I would like to weigh in. I have seen the many paid signature gatherers asking residents to sign a Voter Initiative for private parties at the Fletcher Cove Community Center. I have followed the issue closely, and what the proponents of the Voter Initiative aren’t telling residents is that the Solana Beach City Council
munity Center. This group is simply unwilling to accept the compromise set forth by the City Council, although the compromise addresses problems related to parking, access and safety. The paid signature gatherers are omitting important facts. If approved, this Voter Initiative will cost Solana Beach taxpayers $300,000 to hold a special election — more than
that the Voter Initiative can be stopped at any time, as proponents claim. By law, a Voter Initiative can only be modified by another election. The City Council will be powerless to make changes, even if there are serious problems. Isn’t this all a bit much to ask of the community when there is already a reasonable policy set in place by the City Council? Nina Williams, Solana Beach

Nationally-known Surf Cup continues to grow, thrive in a variety of ways BY ROB LEDONNE The soccerloco San Diego Surf Cup, a multi-weekend event which was held at the San Diego Polo Club, recently wrapped up another year of showcasing young soccer talent from all over the country and world, promoting the sport, and drawing thousands to North County. It was the 33rd year for the successful event, which has grown into the biggest single soccer tournament in the country, and continues to serve as a vital boost to the local economy. “Our tagline is the best of the best, and we truly meant it this year,” explained Brandon Maskell, the marketing director for www.soccerloco.com, which has been a sponsor for the tournament for the past 12 years. “Over time, it’s grown a reputation for not only having amazing competition, but having a great location as well. The polo fields are perfect for soccer; the grass is super flat and in great condition.” Set up in a bracket system, teams were broken up into age groups with the oldest players being 18. “We deny more teams
than we accept,” Maskell explained of the process. “There’s a selection committee that takes a look at their resumes, with wins and losses.” Maskell noted that this year 500 teams from all over the United States and countries such as Mexico and Guatemala turned out for the cup this year, and many from out of town don’t only come for the Cup, but stay for a week and enjoy all that North County and San Diego has to offer. Said Maskell, “The weather here is an attraction in itself, people don’t just come for a day or two and go right home. Once the soccer is over, everyone goes to the beaches or explores the area.” Overall, Maskell and his team estimates that more than 25,000 people turned out for the Cup this year, whether they were parents, coaches, or players.

tion, countless scouts from all over the world turned out to survey the country’s top soccer talent, from colleges and clubs alike. Perhaps most notably, 11-year-old Joshua Pynadath from Los Altos Hills, Calif., was recruited at the tournament to attend the academy for Spain’s world renowned Real Madrid soccer club. The signing made headlines across the world. “Year after year we get bigger and bigger,” Maskell notes. “We always have the most elite scouts come, so it’s probably the biggest opportunity for these players to get recruited.” Another notable scout that turned up was from the Manchester City [Soccer] Club, part of the famed English Premier League. Maskell predicts that the tournament will double in size next year thanks to a second facility in development in Oceanside. The tournament, which was also sponsored in part by Nike, serves as a showpiece for San Diego Soccer Club as well.

Solana Beach golfer thriving on Senior Tour
TPHS grad a finalist on ‘America’s Got Talent’
BY GIDEON RUBIN A very short stint washing dishes at a Solana Beach restaurant helped steer Jeff Hart’s career path. Hart was a junior at Torrey Pines High in the late 1970s when he picked up a parttime job at “Mr. T’s,” a Solana Beach eatery that now goes by “T’s Cafe.” Jeff Hart Hart went on to Courtesy photo become a professional golfer, competing on the PGA tour and now the Senior Tour. “It opened my eyes up a little bit,” Hart said. “It made me realize how much I wanted to play golf and not be a working stiff for the rest of my life.” Hart picked up the job at the prodding of his parents, who wanted him to work for his own pocket money. The work was much tougher than he expected. Hart quit after a few days. “I didn’t like it that much, let’s put it that way,” he said. Hart has been doing what he loves ever since. After an admittedly unremarkable PGA career, he is now experiencing a career Renaissance on the Senior Tour. Hart, 53, is ranked tied for 29th on the champions tour in points in what’s already been the most successful year in a career that spans four decades. He’s placed in the top 20 in five straight champions tour events, with two top-10 performances highlighted by a sixth-place finish in the Constellation Senior Players championship in June. He also placed eighth at the Senior Open Championship last month. In the Constellation tournament, Hart finished ahead of Corey Pavin, Tom Lehman, Fred Funk, Tom Kite and Tom Watson, among other notables. Not bad for a golfer who hadn’t had a top-10 tournament finish since 1987 at the Hattiesburg Deposit Guaranty Classic. “I’m thankful, lucky and grateful, really, to be doing it at this age, especially since I didn’t have a very good career in my prime years of golf,” Hart said. “At my age, [golf] is the only sport that I know of that you can pull that off and still make a living at it into your 50s, and there are guys out here that are doing it into their 60s.” When Hart first started on the PGA tour in 1985, he played in tournaments with Jack Nicklaus
BY ROB LEDONNE One of North County’s very own is a finalist on the popular NBC show “America’s Got Talent,” alongside some of the best and brightest upand-coming entertainers in the country. Comedian Taylor Williamson, 27, who grew up in Del Mar, has been pursuing comedy since a young age and is thrilled about his Taylor brush with Williamson fame on “Talent.” “It’s such a dream scenario for a stand-up comedian,” explained Williamson from New York, where the finals are being taped at Radio City Music Hall this week. “When I first tried out, I was terrified; I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The people in the audience aren’t there to watch comedy, which is not ideal. Plus, how could I make people like a German Supermodel laugh?,” explained Williamson, referring to judge Heidi Klum, who anchors the panel alongside Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, and Mel B. Williamson’s path to national television has had its ups and downs like any performer waiting for a big break. His interest in comedy was first sparked as a defense mechanism while a student at Torrey Pines High School. “I used to get picked on a little and learned that comedy made people want to hurt me less, which is nice,” Williamson said, half joking. “I was never the class clown, but I’d be the guy who enjoyed asking a question with a serious face so the teacher wouldn’t get mad at me but the stu-

dents would laugh.” Doug Gilbert, currently a 12th grade teacher at Canyon Crest Academy, taught 10th grade at Torrey Pines when Williamson was a student and remembers his wit fondly. “He definitely was a funny guy in school, but in a clever way. At the time, I thought he’d go into either entertainment or politics; he was not afraid to voice his opinions on things. He has this huge smile, and an ability to make other people around him feel relaxed.”
Del Mar Beach Colony Coastal Craftsman Steps to the Sand Offered at $3,199,000
Upon graduation, Williamson attended Cal State Northridge for a short time but dropped out to pursue his dream as he was already paying his bills doing comedy at age 21. Since then, Williamson’s career is checkered with proud accomplishments: he was the youngest comedian to appear on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” and also had stints on MTV, Comedy Central, and another NBC competition series, “Last Comic Standing,” where he was a semi-finalist.
Throughout it all, his mother (who raised him and his brother on her salary as an artist) provided full support. “Two weeks before I got ‘America’s Got Talent,’ I was ready to get a day job for the first time in my life,” Williamson remembers. “My mom loaned me money, and I said to pay her back I was going to get a real job if I didn’t start making more money doing comedy.” Fate, however, intervened. On Tuesday night, Aug. 13 (after presstime for this article), Williamson’s act will face the nation and it’s up to the viewers at home to decide if he moves onto the next round. “The voting starts at the end of the show; they’ll give viewers a number which you can vote up to 10 times,” said Williamson of the process, which can also be done online via www.nbc.com/AGT. Williamson is hoping San Diego will rally behind its homegrown star, and Gilbert says he’ll be the first one calling to vote. “I’ve been supporting him for quite some time. He’s one of the top up-and-coming comics in the country, not just in San Diego. He’s a real genuine person who’s followed his dreams and made things happen for himself,” said Gilbert. “I think his recent success shows that he really is an exceptional individual.” Reiterated Williamson: “It’s a dream come true.” “America’s Got Talent” aired this week on Tuesday, Aug. 13, and Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 9 p.m. on NBC 7 San Diego.

New clothing boutique brings unique lines to Flower Hill Promenade BY KRISTINA HOUCK After relocating from Los Angeles to Del Mar, Andrea Van De Vort saw the need for a contemporary and bohemian-chic boutique. Therefore, Van De Vort opened her own store, called Van De Vort, in July in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade. “I noticed there weren’t any stores in San Diego that represented the amazing lines that LA had to offer,” Van De Vort said. “It only made sense to open a store for all of the San Diegans that have been missing out on all of these amazing lines.” Specializing in local and international labels, Van De Vort offers women’s apparel and accessories from a variety of brands such as Flynn Skye, Mink Pink, Nightcap and Stone Cold Fox. Van De Vort said almost all of the lines she carries are exclusive to her store in the San Diego region. “There’s no one else in San Diego that carries the lines we have,” said 27-yearold Van De Vort. “I’m handpicking all of these lines that I feel have such a great presence in LA and nothing here.” Although she travels
Left: Wes Van De Vort and Andrea Van De Vort; Above: Van De Vort store COURTESY to fashion shows to get the scoop on the latest trends, Van De Vort is already familiar with all of the labels she features at her roughly 1,000-square-foot boutique. Van De Vort moved to Los Angeles in 2007, shortly after graduating with a degree in business and mass communications from Arizona State University. For six years, she
worked as a West Coast sales representative for labels such as Mink Pink and Miss Me Jeans. After maintaining a long-distance relationship with her Del Mar-based husband for a few years, Van De Vort decided to relocate to the seaside city in November. She signed a lease at Flower Hill Promenade in June and opened her boutique on July 7.
“I have a special spot in my heart for this center,” said Van De Vort, who noted she purchased her wedding dress from Bliss Bride, which is located next to her store. “It just kind of worked out. There was a spot open and it all went pretty quickly.” Van De Vort has loved fashion since she was a child. She recalled using a journal to plan every outfit
she would wear for her first six months of middle school. “That’s when I knew I had a problem,” Van De Vort said as she laughed. “But I love it. “It was always my endgoal to open a boutique growing up. It’s been a lot of fun, and I’m really happy that I love it so much.” From a day at the beach to a night on the town, Van
De Vort said her boutique offers fashions for every occasion. “We have so many unique things to offer,” Van De Vort said. “There’s something for everyone.” Van De Vort is located at Flower Hill Promenade, 2710 Via de la Valle, Suite B-110, Del Mar.

Bishop’s grads to stage ‘Our Boys’ at LJ Playhouse Seuss Space
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY ASHLEY MACKIN For three nights only, Aug. 16-18, six recent Bishop’s School graduates will present a production of Jonathan Lewis’ “Our Boys” at the La Jolla Playhouse Seuss Space. The six young actors, all members of Bishop’s 2012 Acting Workshop Class, self-produced the two-act play. The story is about six members of the British military – portrayed by Sam Jacobs, Felix Murphet, Lucas Brahme, Ted Hunter, Ben Halter and Peter Alexander – stuck in a hospital bay with varying injuries and different levels of military experience. “It’s a more nuanced view of what it’s like to be someone who is in — or has been in — the military,” Jacobs said. “You really see a more human, more vulnerable side of these guys, who tend to be portrayed as tough dudes who go around and shoot some bad guys … but there is more to it than that.” Murphet added, “There’s a lot of gallows humor along the way, because it’s about war and the injuries (they’ve experienced), but what I like is you can have a laugh about it. The guys themselves have a laugh about it, hopefully, the audience will, too, even though it’s a serious subject.” These talented young actors understand their subject matter in an admirable way, and despite the challenge of the tough content
If you go What: “Our Boys” When: 7 p.m. Aug. 16, 7 p.m. Aug. 17, 6:30 p.m. Aug. 18 Where: La Jolla Playhouse, Seuss 1 Space, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive Note: This production has adult language and content Tickets: $5 at LJPOurBoys. eventbrite.com (including frequent profanities), they are up for it. Jacobs said their age is what makes the exploration into maturity so poignant and heartfelt. “This is a play that can only be done by young people; it’s in the title. It’s called ‘Our Boys’ not ‘Our Men.’ There is a certain vulnerability that you see in guys our age and it would be hard, I think, to be older and more experienced and know more about yourself and then try to play the part of someone who is really pretty lost.” The actors, in the course of extensive rehearsal, said they started to see the story in the context of their own lives. They are all 18- to 20- years-old, playing characters just a few years older. “At 21 or 22 years old, all the dreams of being in the military have been cut off from them,” Murphet said of the char-
acters. “I think it’s easy to empathize with the fact that we have a lot of dreams and ambition and it’s hard to imagine that they, too, might be cut off at some point.” Therein lies the difficulty. “Getting into the mindset that had everything taken away from them a couple of years down the road from where we are right now, and living in a very different place than we are, is part of the challenge,” Murphet said. However, with the support of his cast mates, which includes directing each other, the group comes together to make it work. The six actors share directing duties — offering suggestions and notes — and even changing parts. In the beginning, Jacobs and Brahme were reading for each other’s roles. Jacobs suggested switching, which proved to be a valuable tip. Of his character, Brahme said, “Mick is a sort of lovable, somewhat naïve, warm-hearted dude and his naivety blossomed when I read the part. I empathize with his genuineness (because) that genuineness sometimes comes off as stupidity. I see him as a wise fool, like the ones in Shakespeare’s comedies.” The actors each seemed to find a perfect part to play — the “boys” include one that blames others and makes excuses, one that’s the voice of reason, and one

who is an angry young soldier. Though they share production responsibilities — with the help of stage manager and technical director Nima Malek (also a Bishop’s alum) it was Alexander who got the ball rolling. “Before I went to school at Berkeley, I spent some time at the Drama Conservatory in London, in a program called LAMDA, and I saw a lot of theater while I was there,” he said. “One of the plays I saw was this one, ‘Our Boys,’ and I really liked it a lot.” It moved him so much that
he texted Murphet during the intermission suggesting they perform it back in La Jolla. Originally planned for a performance at Bishop’s, Alexander sent out a proposal to perform “Our Boys” at The Playhouse, which was accepted. “The La Jolla Playhouse is a respected name in the community and it’s really awesome to have this as a launching pad to share our creation,” Jacobs said. “Coming from Bishop’s, which is also a fixture in the community, it’s cool to leapfrog over to The Playhouse.”

It’s steak and seafood with style at Lou & Mickey’s BY KELLEY CARLSON t the King’s Seafood-owned Lou & Mickey’s restaurant, hospitality rules. “Our guests are first here,” said general manager Brian Neal. “The special attention (we give them) ... is what makes us memorable enough to be an annual return (trip).” The warm welcome comes from the heart, and such service helps define the establishment in the popular Gaslamp Quarter setting, he added. Since it’s close to Petco Park and across from the San Diego Convention Center, Lou & Mickey’s (named for the fathers of owners Sam and Jeff King) caters to varying demographics. “It’s not unusual to see someone in a shirt, jersey and ball cap sitting next to someone in a three-piece suit,” Neal noted. Some aspects of the restaurant are casual and playful, yet it also offers more intimate, fine dining. The 15,000-square-foot space, which appears much smaller from the outside, features a post-World War II supper club atmosphere, enhanced by jazzy, Rat Pack-type music. The tiled floor is imported from Italy, and every 10 feet contains a different pattern or mosaic. There are hints of the original French décor, from the days when the establishment was known as Royal. As guests enter, they encounter a raw bar with a variety of seafood packed in ice — from oysters and Cherrystone clams to

San Diego Padres’ home games are also considered special events, and the restaurant’s crew gets into the spirit by distributing free bags of peanuts and dressing up in mock uniforms that contain the words “Lou & Mickey’s” on the back. In the evening, the look is retained in the front areas, but the dining-room staff dons formal wear. To begin a meal, a “can’t miss” item suggested by Neal is the buttery Peruvian Scallops with ponzu and chives. If steak is the entree of choice, the servers are trained to assist guests select from more than a dozen cuts. The “king” is the 20-ounce Prime Rib-eye “Cowboy” Steak, which is tender and marbled. “It’s a Cadillac, a game-changer,” Neal said. A large portion of the menu is dedicated to sustainable species of fish and crustaceans. Among the seasonal specialties are the Florida stone crab (claw only), wildcaught salmon and Alaskan king crab. Besides steak and seafood, other selections include pastas such as the Spaghetti with Tomato & Basil, and salads such as the Roasted Beets & Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese. Desserts are baked daily and options include a decadent slice of chocolate cake with strawberries and whipped cream.

Modern-day Mel Blanc to embrace the ‘sick and twisted’ at La Jolla Festival BY ASHLEY MACKIN What do the Red M&M, the Cheerios Honey Bee, Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama, Elmer Fudd, and Ren and Stimpy have in common? They are some of the many characters voiced by Billy West, who will make a guest appearance at the 20th annual Spike & Mike Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, Aug. 24Nov. 23, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. Not be confused with the new-age Festival Billy West of Animation, which is appropriate for all ages, the Sick and Twisted fest is an 18 and older show because it’s, well, sick and twisted. Joking that the festival couldn’t push the envelope because “we’re not even in the envelope,” co-founder Craig “Spike” Decker said he likes to take credit for starting the genre of animation shorts with adult humor. Twenty years ago, he said, “we started seeing the value in this and how the application of animation was not just for children and just wasn’t Disney and that sort of thing.” It’s that value that drew the admiration of animation voice masters like West, who will be attending the festival, signing auto-

We saw a lot of the future by watching (films at) these festivals.” Some of concepts were Beavis and Butthead (an early production by South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone), Tim Burton’s first film “Vincent,” and early works by Bill Plympton, which premiered at
past Sick and Twisted festivals. West considers those days to be “a good time” in animation. “When The Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, and Ren and Stimpy came out, they were three separate, great ideas and they had nothing to do with the success of the other. They were these beautiful little gems.” Decker said viewers who appreciated those cartoons would appreciate the ones at this year’s festival, too. “We want people to see it’s just fun and humor despite of the gross-out,” he said, adding he’s hopeful that now as adults, the youth who watched cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, Doug, and films like “Space Jam,” will attend the festival for a little nostalgia. This year’s festival holds a little nostalgia for Decker, as well, because it will screen both classic and new films, including some of the ones that appeared at the first Sick and Twisted Festival. Decker said they would screen “two of the sickest shorts ever made” in “Chirpy” and “Quiet Please,” as well as a music video by Jack Black and Tenacious D with a rather profane name. Spike & Mike production manager Josef Liebhardt said he was looking forward to a film from Australia called, “Dumb Ways to Die.” “It describes as many dumb ways to die as you can think of,” he said, complete with a jingle to

If you play an instrument, bring it along! If not, just bring your creative mind,” she said. Attendees will receive a recorded demo of the original song they helped create. Kelly said she is launching a company that fosters creativity and unifies artists and professionals “to support and uplift the creative culture.” The flagship is The Band Experience, a program series based on music creation. Read more at themicnetwork.net and astrakelly.com The workshop is $30 for La Jolla Community Center members and $40 for non-members. Register at (858) 459-0831 or ljcommunitycenter.org

Father and daughter to star in ‘Les Miserables’ at North County’s Avo Playhouse STAR Repertory Theatre is staging the first full-score community theatre production of Les Miserables in North County at the Avo Playhouse from Aug. 23-Sept. 1. Performance dates and times are Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sundays at 5 p.m. The 70-member cast features an array of talent across the board. Featured in the cast are father and daughter Andy Softley (Foreman) and Julie Ann Softley (Gavorche), whom are Leucadia residents, as well as Solana Beach resident Chris Braden (Ensemble). Alternating in the lead role of Jean Valjean are two experienced performers, Brandon Sherman and Ben Plache. Sherman just completed his run in the highly-regarded classic “Fiddler on the Roof” at the Lamb’s Players Theatre, while Plache is a regular with the San Diego Opera. Les Misérables follows Jean Valjean as he is pursued by the implacable Inspector Javert through some of the most tumultuous years in French history. Filled with an epic score, the live orchestra will perform classics such as “One Day More”, “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and “I Dreamed a Dream.” Director Scott Kolod, is thrilled to have the opportunity to produce the most popular musical in the world. “To stage Les Miserables is an amazing feat, but to do it with an incredible cast like this makes it the experience of a lifetime. This is definitely going to be a show to remember.” Tickets for this musical sensation are on sale online at www.starrepertorytheatre.com or by calling the box office at (760) 724-2110.
San Diego Musical Theatre’s ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ The Fats Waller Musical Show’ to run Sept. 27-Oct. 13 San Diego Musical Theatre will present “Ain’t Misbehavin’ The Fats Waller Musical Show” at the Birch North Park Theatre Sept. 27-Oct. 13. The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s best. The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing. Although not quite a biography, Ain’t Misbehavin’ evokes “the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Assembled under the expert eye of director/lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr., Ain’t Misbehavin’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time.” For individual or group tickets contact the Administrative Office at 858-560-5740 or visit SDMT online at www.sdmt.org.

Horse trainer Doug O’Neill is ‘roasted’ BY LESLIE CARTER Trainer Doug O’Neill has scaled the heights in thoroughbred horse racing over the years and has been a headliner at Del Mar many times. He’s a Kentucky Derby-winning trainer (I’ll Have Another in 2012). He has won the training title at the Del Mar meet four times. He has trained four Eclipse Award champions — those are the year-end Oscars for the sport. And he did bring back Richard’s Kid to win his second Cougar II Handicap on July 26. He’s the trainer for the Great Friends Stable, and a great friend of the Foundation of the same name. O’Neill has vulnerabilities. There could still be a bit of bad feeling in some quarters over the moving of two-time Pacific Classic winner Richard’s Kid from another star trainer’s barn to O’Neill’s after the sudden sale of the horse last summer. You would need only some of the fingers of one hand to count his visits to the winner’s circle over the first three weeks of the season, and the trainer wasn’t allowed to forget it. And what was that “milkshake” thing that kept cropping up? How surprising could it be that in the Great Friends’ search for a racing season fundraiser, (that earned $25,000) there was this lightbulb that flashed the idea: “Let’s roast Doug O’Neill?” The dining room of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club seated 160 Great Friends on Saturday, Aug.
3. The dais was loaded with familiar personalities attached to the thoroughbred world. Among the talent assembled was Joe Harper, president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, a skilled and experienced roaster. Relaying the proceedings would require many symbols (##!#??) representing words you would rather not see in print. There was lots of laughter but there was also moaning and groaning to indicate that the room was with O’Neill. “I do notice that there are some people in here this evening that are not from the horse racing community. Just ask the table next to you when you don’t understand one of the jokes. They will interpret for you,” said Scott Kaplan, one of the event hosts. The Great Friends Foundation’s commitment reads “Serving those who serve San Diego,” especially firefighters, police officers, military personnel and their families. The founders are two local guys, Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith (a Del Mar resident), now of the Mighty 1090’s Scott and BR Show. At midpoint in the event, there was a live auction to educate kids who, according to Kaplan, “will become the future leaders of America.” Their program awards $5,000 a year for four years to selected collegebound children of these first responders. Artist Erik Skoldberg, who has a gallery at the Del Mar Plaza, made a
big splash at the event. He displayed an imposing painting reproducing the Official Program from the July 1939 racing season. He has created two editions of this work. One is in the Turf Club at Del Mar, and the second, brought in $7,000 at auction. Skoldberg offered three more of the same colorful painting for anyone else at the auction at $7,000 each (gallery price $7,500), and to return 10 percent to the Great Friends Foundation. Skoldberg also won the bidding with $4,000 for a luncheon for six at Pamplemousse Grille and three nights for two at the Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa — a stay that includes a couple’s massage . When Trevor Denman took the microphone to do his turn, he expressed dismay at being asked to say mean things about “Doug O’Neill, one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.” He tried to get out of it with “I’m a vegetarian, we don’t do roasts.” So “nice Trevor” was followed by “mean Trevor” in the person of Frank Mirahmadi, a talented impressionist who had Trevor’s South African accent down pretty well. Mirahmadi calls races at Oaklawn Park, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and on the California fair circuit. His “mean Trevor” sizzled. The evening ended with milkshakes distributed for dessert. If you want to know the significance of that — ask someone you know that follows horse racing.

Iron Mike Paddle debuts in Solana Beach

GOLFER continued from page B1 in the twilight of his career. Hart was also grouped with Tiger Woods in his PGA debut at the Greater Milwaukee Open in 1986. Hart is the first to admit he isn’t the same golfer he was when he joined to tour. He’s doesn’t have anywhere near the power he did when he started his professional career, and he now experiences aches and pains associated with arthritis that he acknowledges will likely end his career someday. Nevertheless, in many ways, he is a better golfer today than he ever was. “It’s tough to compare, but I would say I’m playing better than I ever did on the regular PGA tour,” Hart said, noting the different conditions played on the senior tour. “I don’t hit the ball as far as I used to and my body’s not as supple or as flexible as it once was, but I was never a long hitter to begin with, so even though I’ve lost some yardage over the years I’ve kind of made up for it other areas.
“I’m a better putter and my preparation is much better.” Hart believes he’s also gained wisdom over the years that he believes has paid dividends on the golf course. He’s learned not to be so hard on himself, and no longer tries to force the issue when things don’t go his way. “In golf, sometimes the harder you try the worse you get at it,” he said. “You have to sort of learn to give up control to get control, and that’s the hardest concept for anybody to accept. We tend to think ‘I’ve got to get in there and try harder and work harder and do all this stuff’ when it’s really almost the opposite. “That’s a hard thing to grasp.” Hart has also had to accept a complicated champions tour qualifying format that’s based more on PGA career winnings than merit — a system that puts a journeyman golfer like Hart who needs to keep qualifying for tournaments to keep his career going at an inherent
disadvantage. “It’s a never-ending battle on the championship tour for me,” he said. But although perhaps not entirely fair, Hart has no complaints about the qualifying rules. It’s the presence of big names on the tour that make the events profitable for everyone involved. Hart has earned $676,883 so far on the champions tour. He earned $610,877 on the PGA tour. “I have no gripes about the way it’s run, it should be that way,” Hart said. “We wouldn’t have a [champions] tour without the big name players.” And it beats washing dishes. “You know that old adage ‘do something you love,’ and forget about the money, that’s kind of what I’ve done,” Hart says. “I haven’t made a lot of money until the last couple of years, but I just love it and I’m going to try to ride this out as long as I can. It’s been fun, I just hope it continues a little bit longer.”

The car body could absorb blows 10 times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp fuel. Because of the ban on both hemp and alcohol, the car was never mass produced.

Hale kale! Turn over a new leaf this summer The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The mighty green warrior with Herculean healing powers has shoved leafy cousins to the produce sidelines. Kale rocks and has been popping up in everything from chilled soups and salads to crispy chips and pizza toppings. Here’s why. . . The tale of kale A member of the brassica family, with collard greens, broccoli and Brussels sprout siblings, kale is the offspring of wild cabbage ancestors with origins in Asia Minor. Celtic nomads imported the Curly Kale plant to Europe where it became a huge hit among the ancient Romans and a staple vegetable for peasants of the Middle Ages. From there, English settlers transported the crop to the United States in the 17th century. Creative horticulturalists discovered different varieties, including Dinosaur Kale in Italy two centuries later, and Ornamental Kale, a decorative garden plant that was cultivated in California just three decades ago. Kudos to kale Kale is practically good for everything except shining your shoes. For starters, it’s anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging and anti-oxidant with 45 assorted flavonoids to put the skids on harmful free radicals. Detoxifying, cholesterol-busting (especially when cooked), and packed with phytonutrients, including Vitamin K for building bones and warding off osteoporosis, immune-boosting Vitamin C, a trio of stress calming Bs, Vitamin A for skin and eye health, calcium, fiber and heart-happy omega-3s all packed in a low cal bundle. Studies have also shown that kale loaded
Dino leaves are sweeter and more mild tasting than their curly cousin, making them equally palatable raw in salads or sautéed with a warm balsamic dressing, a sprinkling of dried cranberries and candied pecans. Frilly red kale with sweet purply oak-shaped leaves is just as tender raw as steamed or braised. While ornamental kale more commonly called salad savoy, has a loosely packed head of tender leaves, either white, green or purple, with a delicate flavor ideal for adding color and crunch to chopped salads, or burgers and sandwiches.
with the pigment lutein can dramatically reduce the risk of certain skin cancers by as much as 50 percent. Luteins create an internal sun shield that not only lessens burning, but protects optic nerves from sun damage, also preventing macular degeneration down the road. So pack a picnic lunch for the beach with leafy green kale slaws and salads, chilled kale gazpacho, flat bread topped with pesto kale or goat cheese and shredded braised kale strips, and whole-grain sandwiches and burgers dressed with raw leaves. Add a side of crunchy Cajun kale chips with a thermos of frothy kale, almond milk and banana smoothies for a hefty, healthy dose of green screens. One word of kale caution: The potent vegetable has been found to lower thyroid levels. So if your levels are already low, standing advice — moderation and check with your physician. Also, cook the kale to reduce its thyroid-lowering properties. Brassica beauties There are several varieties of kale that come in designer shades of green, red, purple, bluish green and white. The popular curly kale has wide, dark green leaves with ruffled ridges and chewy stalks. Curly has a pungent bitter kick to it with peppery nuances, and is best braised or steamed with a drizzle of olive oil and Meyer lemon juice. Dinosaur kale, aka Lacinato or Tuscan kale has more tapered, delicate leaves, tinged bluish green with an embossed pattern.

Raw, raw, raw When picking a bunch of fresh kale look for moist, sturdy stems and stiff leaves that stand at attention, richly colored and free of holes, brown or yellow spots. Choose smaller leaves that are more tender and flavorful than larger ones. When storing, wrap leaves in damp paper towels in plastic bags in the refrigerator for up to a week, although the leaves become more bitter the longer they stand. Kale Salad A-Go-Go For a simple and savory dose of kale, here’s a fiveminute salad (no kidding) that can be eaten as a sandwich side, tossed with grilled chicken, wild-caught salmon or shrimp, or served solo. Ingredients 1 bunch of fresh kale, stems trimmed (your choice, Dino, Red, Curly) 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil Juice from one lemon 1 ripe but firm nectarine, diced 2 Roma tomatoes, diced 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes 3 ounces crumbled goat or feta cheese 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar Sea salt to taste Method: Chop kale ¼-inch thick. Place in a large, salad bowl with tomatoes and nectarines. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper flakes. Add to salad and toss. Add cheese and gently toss.

Linda Sansone came in at number 144, which makes her the second-highest single agent seller in all of San Diego County. “I am thrilled to be recognized on such a prestigious list,” says Sansone. “Drive, determination and persistence have been trademarks throughout my life.

Prudential California Realty, one of the nation’s largest residential brokerages and soon to be Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has launched an innovative new technology platform that is changing how people buy and sell homes. Customized for both agents and their clients, the new technology is integrated into Prudential California’s new mobile app, now available for free for iOS Android devices. Additionally, the newly redesigned Prudential California website, www.PrudentialCal. com, is now more easily accessible on mobile devices and tablets. “Our technology platform sets a new industry standard, putting quick and detailed information about home listings at the fingertips of interested buyers,” said David M. Cabot, president and chief executive officer at Prudential California Realty. “This level of interactive listing information enables buyers to find and view properties faster, which will also help them work with their agents to identify the right home more quickly.” The new mobile app uses HomeScan technology to determine your location and find all listings and open houses nearby, and also provides driving directions. Buyers who are looking for homes in specific neighborhoods can use their touch screen to draw an area on a map, which then locates listings that are within the desired area. In addition to browsing photos and listing details, buyers can view a fully personalized profile for the listing agent, request additional property information and schedule a tour. The mobile app also allows listings to be shared via email, text message, Twitter and Facebook. Additionally, the newly-redesigned Pru-
dential California website is the first in Southern California to feature responsive web design (RWD) technology, meaning that images and other content are automatically resized to perfectly fit the monitor, tablet or smartphone on which they are being viewed. This feature is especially important for viewing photos and navigating through virtual property tours. Buyers can also learn more about their new prospective communities by accessing neighborhood reviews and stay up-to-date on local real estate industry information through the Prudential news feed and brokerage blog. Prudential California’s new technology platform also includes an innovative and highly advanced collection of tools specifically for agents through the MyConnect portal. MyConnect assists with virtual tours, digital brochures and postcards to promote listings, and has social media sharing capabilities. Agents can manage listings, their calendars and incoming sales leads in one place, and can access tools for multi-language translation to better serve international clients. “We’re providing a new level of access and convenience for home buyers and sellers,” said Leeann Noll-Iacino, chief operating officer at Prudential California Realty. “In the luxury real estate market, listed properties can come and go very quickly, and we have incomparable technology to make the buying and selling process faster and easier.” With more than 3,200 sales associates located in 62 offices across Southern California and the Central Coast, Prudential California Realty is one of the top five brokerages in the nation.
