CV planning board rejects One Paseo, wants a reduced project BY KAREN BILLING One Paseo is moving on to the city’s decision-makers without the backing of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. The board rejected One Paseo’s proposed project on Sept. 11 with an 11-2 vote, but the board said it would support a reduced mixed-use alternative that cuts the de-

velopment down by half. Carmel Valley Planning Community Board Chair Frisco White encouraged the board not to just deny the project outright but to consider conditions they would accept should the development move forward. Board members who opposed the project fought hard to get the word “reject” front and

center in their motion. “It makes the point clearer,” said board member Chris Moore in crafting the motion. “The size and scale of the project are not appropriate for Carmel Valley. We want to emphasize that point.” Rather than the proposed 1.5 million-squarefoot project that includes

198,500 square feet of retail, 484,000 square feet of commercial office, and 608 multi-family residential units, the board said it would support a reduced alternative of 140,000 to 198,500 square feet of retail, 267,800 square feet of office and 304 residential units. “Like all major projects, One Paseo generated a ro-

bust public discussion, and we’re proud of the enormous base of support the project earned from Carmel Valley families who welcome a true main street experience to our neighborhood,” said Kilroy Realty in a statement. “We appreciate the consideration of the See ONE PASEO, page 6

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar’s red light cameras haven’t been given the red light — yet. Although the city is under contract with Redflex Traffic Systems until 2016, the Del Mar City Council reviewed the camera program during its Sept. 15 meeting. Council members requested a report on the program earlier this year after noting a decrease in revenue from the devices. “I’m concerned we’re not getting the safety benefit and we’re losing money,” said Councilman Don Mosier. The city installed the cameras in 2004 to increase safety at major intersections. All three cameras are located on Camino del Mar, one at Del Mar Heights Road and two at Via de la Valle. The city currently pays $1,577.51 per camera per month, or $56,790 per year. But that doesn’t include other costs, such as having a sheriff’s detective review the citations and appear in court to defend them. Officials estimated that costs about $65,000 a year. Under contract, the city’s costs for the program have remained the same, but revenue from the program has fallen. Del Mar issued 927 red light camera tickets in 2011, 777 in 2012 and 395 last year, according to the staff report. With fewer tickets, revenue from the program decreased, from $93,901 in fiscal year 2012-13 to about $37,000 in the 201314 fiscal year that ended June 30, officials said. See CAMERAS, page 22

Del Mar and Solana Beach to help host athletes participating in 2015 Special Olympics World Games BY KRISTINA HOUCK The largest sporting event in the world next year will be held in Los Angeles, and Del Mar and Solana Beach, along with dozens of other cities across Southern California, are helping make it happen. The Solana Beach City Council unanimously voted Sept. 10 to help host athletes participating in the 2015 Special Olympics World Games, which begin

July 25. As the largest event in Los Angeles since the 1984 Olympics, 100 towns from San Luis Obispo to San Diego will be selected to serve as host towns July 2124 for the more than 7,000 athletes from 177 participating countries. The Del Mar City Council on Sept. 15 also unanimously voted to host athletes. The item was on the council’s consent calendar, a list of items approved with a

single vote and no discussion. “We’re doing this as an outreach program, but also to broaden the reach of the World Games to a much bigger area outside of Los Angeles, so we can share the experience with more people,” said Dawn O’Leary, organizing committee director for the Host Town program, during the Solana Beach council meeting.

Del Mar school board to take action on proposal Tips on earthquake preparedness shared at Solana Beach Public Safety Commission meeting to move Early Childhood Development Center BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) Board of Trustees held a community meeting on Sept. 8 in advance of this week’s board meeting where the board plans to take action on a new $1.5 million facility Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) at Torrey Hills Elementary School. The district is proposing to move the ECDC from its current home in 10 classrooms at Sycamore Ridge School to 12 reconfigured classrooms at Torrey Hills. The board plans to take action at its Sept. 17 board meeting, after this paper’s press time. DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg said the district has undertaken a multi-year process of getting information on how much capacity they have in the district and how much they will need in the future. Doors to every room in every district campus have been opened and every space examined, according to Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources. Torrey Hills was the site that they zeroed in on as having the most available capacity in coming years. Enrollment at Torrey Hills is projected to peak next year and then plateau at around 700 students, well under its capacity for 898 students. The school hit its peak enrollment of 784 before Ocean Air Elementary School opened — when the neighboring school accepted students its enrollment has dropped steadily and would be experiencing a major decline if not for the new develop-

ments at Torrey Gardens and Ocean Air at Torrey Hills. Romero said the school is rolling up smaller class size cohorts and losing students from the neighborhood houses. After the classroom reconfigurations, Torrey Hills will still have capacity for all of the students and room for things such as the PTA and PE room. “The school is not losing 12 classrooms, the ECDC would take up 12 rooms,” said Shelley Petersen, assistant superintendent. The enhancements to Torrey Hills would be paid for through the community financing district, but the renovations of the classrooms for the new ECDC would come from the district’s fund 40 special reserve for capital outlay. The ECDC at full capacity is 100 students and Petersen said it would not be possible to increase the size of the program. About 20 parents attended the information meeting, representing several different schools. Torrey Hills parents expressed some reservations about the ECDC coming to its campus. “I’m just concerned about the feel at Torrey Hills, that it will feel like two schools rather than one. Almost one-third of the campus will be used for something else,” said parent Brenda Bilstead. Bilstead said she understands the district’s challenges and also said she feels the ECDC program is “exceptional” and only brings quality wherever it is — but it just might change the whole dynamic of the school, especially with its placement right at See CENTER, page 22

Woman robs Solana Beach bank BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman who claimed to have a concealed gun robbed a coastal Solana Beach bank Sept. 17. The thief, who appeared to be in her late 20s or early 30s, handed a demand note to a cashier at the Wells Fargo branch office in the 200 block of Santa Helena in Solana Beach shortly before 11:30 a.m., according to the FBI. The written message stated that the bandit was armed and demanded that the clerk hand over all the $20, $50 and $100 bills at the teller station. No weapon was seen. The robber fled with an undisclosed amount of money. Witnesses described her as a roughly 5-foot-6-inch, 200- to 250-pound black woman with shoulder-length hair. She was wearing an orange dress or skirt, a black cardigan sweater, a large black sun hat and sunglasses.

Reward offered for information on suspected bank robber

Ex-’Mother of the Year’ pleads not guilty to `Rape Prank’ charges against Carmel Valley homeowner

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Authorities announced recently that a $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man suspected of robbing more than a dozen San Diego-area banks, including a Wells Fargo banks on Del Mar Heights Rd., over the last 10 months. During most of the heists — two of which occurred on the same day — the thief pretended to have a gun under his clothing and ordered everyone present to either raise their hands over their heads or lie down on the floor, according to the FBI. Witnesses described the robber as a skinny, dark-haired 5-foot-3-inch to 5-foot7-inch Asian or Latino who appears to be in his mid-20s. He is believed to have carried out holdups at the following locations: •Wells Fargo Bank, 10707 Camino Ruiz, San Diego, Sept. 13; • North Island Credit Union, 9420 Mira Mesa Blvd., San Diego, Aug. 30; •US Bank, 9400 Mira Mesa Blvd., San Diego, Aug. 30; • Wells Fargo Bank, 3445 Del Mar

BY KELLY WHEELER CITY NEWS SERVICE A former ``Mother of the Year,’’ who’s accused of soliciting the rape of a woman after the victim and her husband bought a Carmel Valley home that the defendant wanted to purchase, pleaded not guilty Sept. 12 to felony charges. Kathy J. Rowe, 52, faces solicitation for rape, solicitation for sodomy and stalking charges, among other counts. The prosecution alleges that sometime between October 2011 and June 2012, Rowe — a former county employee — placed an online ad inviting men to come to the couple’s home and sexually assault the victim. A Superior Court judge originally dismissed the sex solicitation charges, noting that he didn’t have a strong suspicion that Rowe had the specific intent to cause two men to commit any kind of sexual assault on the woman who bought the house. The District Attorney’s Office appealed the decision, and the 4th District Court of Appeal reinstated the charges. Defense attorney Brad Patton said his client -— named ``Mother of the Year in 2007’’ for the work she did for her disabled daughter — wanted to buy the home in Carmel Valley to be in that school district and better care for her child. Patton said Rowe made it clear to detectives that she posted the ``prank’’ ad due to stress she was under, and at no time intended to cause any harm to the victim. Rowe is denying the felony charges, but takes responsibility for misdemeanor counts of identity theft and annoying or threatening communication, Patton told reporters. Deputy District Attorney Brendan McHugh said the solicitation and stalking counts were filed because the defendant’s actions went well beyond a harmless prank. He said authorities believe it was Rowe’s intention that the victim be raped. The prosecutor said Rowe placed an ad on Craigslist, encouraging men to contact the female homeowner for sexual favors while her husband was away. ``People responded to that Craigslist ad, and (evidence) at the preliminary hearing showed there was a string of communications from that initial response enticing men to come to her home, force themselves through the door and onto the victim, and have sex with her while she screamed no,’’ McHugh said. ``Our victim was put in a position where she was in fear in her own home, and that’s not a position anyone should be in.’’ One man with whom Rowe was communicating went to the victim’s Carmel Valley home but emailed Rowe when he saw the husband at home, and Rowe continued to impersonate the victim, the prosecution alleges. Rowe — who’s out of custody on $50,000 bail — will be back in court Oct. 17 for a readiness conference. She faces nine years and eight months in prison if convicted at trial, which is scheduled for February.

Sex offender exposed self near school BY PAULINE REPARD, SPECIAL TO CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN A motorist who was caught running a stop sign got arrested on suspicion of exposing himself to two women minutes earlier in front of a Carmel Valley school Sept. 10. The man was first seen sitting in a Volkswagen station wagon on Carmel Creek Road in front of Carmel Creek Elementary School, San Diego police Lt. Kevin Mayer said. Two women on their morning walk saw him exposing himself and called police about 9:40 a.m. He drove away, but ran a stop sign at Carmel Grove Road, Mayer said. A police officer happened to see the violation and pulled him over. When a dispatcher radioed a description of the flasher, the officer realized he had the suspect. The 23-year-old man was arrested on charges of indecent exposure and being a registered sex offender with a prior conviction.

Carmel Valley Planning Board Vice Chair Manjeet Ranu retires BY KAREN BILLING San Diego City Council President Pro Tem Sherri Lightner honored departing Carmel Valley Community Planning Board vice chair Manjeet Ranu with a commendation at the planning board’s Sept. 11 meeting. Ranu retired from the board after six years of service. Lightner said the community of Pacific Highlands Ranch has benefited from Ranu’s work on Prop C to get Pacific Highlands Ranch development untied from the Interstate 5-SR 56 interchange. The passage of Prop C laid the groundwork for the opening of Solana Ranch School this fall; a neighborhood Solana Ranch Park is set to open by the end of the year; The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch currently under construction with Trader Joe’s is set to open in fall 2015; a new middle school and community park is set to open in 2015; and work is in progress on a future PHR library site. “Thank you for your persistence over all the years,” Lightner said. “I think we got it all done, Manjeet.”

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a decade of service to Solana Beach, the city’s council members, staff and firefighters bid farewell to Fire Battalion Chief Dismas Abelman at the start of the Sept. 10 council meeting. “We’re certainly going to miss you, Dismas,” said Mayor Thomas Campbell. “On behalf of the entire City Council, we would like to thank you for your service and your loyalty to our fine community.” Although an employee of Solana Beach, Abelman is based at the Leucadia station. Through a shared fire services agreement, he has served the communities of Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas for 10 years. “It’s the best career,” said Abelman, who thanked the community for its support and acknowledged Heidi, his wife of 12 years, and their three children, ages 9, 7 and 5. “I’m just humbled and honored to be able to do it, and I’m grateful to work in such a great community.” On behalf of the city, Solana Beach City Manager David Ott presented Abelman with a glass case, hold-

Dismas Abelman with the fire service team and his children. Photo by David Kloz ing his badge, the department patch and pictures. “Dis, you’ve grown so much since I’ve known you,” said Ott, who worked alongside Abelman when they both served as firefighters in Coronado. “His value to the fire service — I have never questioned. He understands what it means to be in the fire service, what a privilege it is to be in the fire service — the ability to help people in sometimes their darkest hour. Dis has always understood that.” Echoing Ott’s sentiment, Fire Chief Mike Daigle thanked Abelman for his service and praised him for his honesty and integrity. “He’s been a leader, a mentor and a friend to a lot of us in this room,” Daigle

said. Abelman has worked in fire service for 27 years. He previously served Coronado for 17 years. Abelman’s official last day as battalion chief is Sept. 19, but because he’s working a 24-hour shift, he’ll get off work the next morning. He will soon begin a new job as emergency services manager for UC San Diego. “My goal is to leave the community and fire department a little bit better than I found it, and I hope that I did,” Abelman said. “The more you try and give, the more you get back in return. I came and I tried to do good, and it’s come back to me in spades.”

ONE PASEO continued from page 1

Carmel Valley Planning Board and look forward to moving the project as currently proposed on to the next steps in the approval process.” Carmel Valley Community Planning Board Vice Chair Manjeet Ranu and business representative Victor Manoushakian were the only board members to vote against the motion, lending support to the proposed One Paseo. Ranu said in the last six years he has seen the project change significantly and he appreciates the efforts Kilroy Realty has made in response to residents’ comments and concerns. He said he thinks One Paseo’s extra housing offering is important and that the project gives the community an opportunity to have an anchor for its employment center. “I’m comfortable with the urban character of the project and they’ve done a lot to stitch it into the community of Carmel Valley,” Ranu said. “I don’t see any

issue with something that’s different and stands out.” Investor representative Brian Brady from Kilroy Realty and developer representative Allen Kashani from Pardee Homes both recused themselves from the vote. One Paseo will now move onto the city planning commission, scheduled to be heard on Thursday, Oct. 2. Meetings are held at 9 a.m. in the City Council Chambers at the City Administration Building downtown. The project is expected to come before the San Diego City Council for its decision before the end of the year. Canyon Crest Academy’s 400-seat theater was filled near capacity with people at the meeting, the majority in opposition but also some in support of One Paseo. City staff members were on hand for the board to ask questions of them — 40 detailed questions across eight categories. With their final environmental impact report, city staff recommended approval of One Paseo. The board felt the report to

be very dismissive of any of the project alternatives and wanted to know why. “Our recommendation is that the benefits outweigh the environmental impacts,” said Cathy Winterrowd, deputy director of environmental and resource analysis for the city’s department of development services, noting she understands that the community may disagree on that point. “The staff did the analysis and it is the staff’s opinion that the project should move forward.” “Why is the staff making such a strong position to move forward with a project that has so many impacts on the community?” White asked. Winterrowd said that staff believes One Paseo fits into San Diego’s “City of Villages” strategy in the General Plan, that focuses growth into “mixed use activity centers that are pedestrianfriendly districts linked to an improved regional transit system” with accessible, attractive streets and public spaces and plazas that bring people together, and offer a variety of housing types for people with different incomes and needs. The planning board argued that no such transit exists in Carmel Valley, and since it is so crucial in the development of “villages,” questioned how One Paseo could be considered one. The planning board noted that all the other designated villages in the city (in Barrio Logan, Otay Mesa and Ocean Beach) have set transit. Renee Mezo, project manager, said the lack of existing public transit is something the staff really grappled with, but they are allowed to look at planned transit for the future in their analysis. They were encouraged by Kilroy’s planned use of shuttles for workers during peak hours. “The shuttle project could serve as a proxy for public transit in the interim,” Mezo said. Board member Anne Harvey said Carmel Valley’s street system is not a grid and not planned for transit. She said the streets were designed for cars and bikes to move around arterial streets snaking throughout the community. “To claim that transit is going to work just doesn’t make sense. The city just couldn’t seem to get their heads around that,” Harvey said. “We already have most of a village here. No one denies that the Kilroy site should be developed. We did what we were supposed to do for 35 years, to simply duplicate it just doesn’t make us a village.” The board had a lot of

questions about why the reduced mixed use was determined not to be feasible in the final environmental impact report’s (FEIR) retail market analysis. “The Reduced Mixed Use alternative’s reduction in housing and retail density leads to a reduction in the mixed use characteristics of the site as a ‘village’ and therefore lacking the vibrancy and atmosphere needed to ‘activate’ the project,” the FEIR reads. The document says the smaller retail component also does not complement Del Mar Highlands Town Center — similar tenant mixes would fail to differentiate the two centers. “Lacking a critical mass of retail space, a reduced project could effectively duplicate the types of retail tenants already present in Carmel Valley, rather than fill the void by providing the upscale retail opportunities currently lacking in Carmel Valley.” According to the report, the Reduced Mixed-Use alternative would generate an annual net fiscal impact to the city ranging from $250,000 to $410,000 per year in comparison to an estimated $538,000 to $880,000 from the proposed project. Reduced mixed use would provide 873 permanent jobs compared to 1,591 permanent jobs associated with One Paseo. White wondered why economics so often trumps community impacts in the staff’s assessment. Board member Laura Copic said she didn’t understand how the mixed-use alternative could be dismissed as infeasible; she said it still seems to achieve all the project goals in some measure and lessens the impacts on the community. “I’d like to have seen it taken more seriously by the developer,” said planning board member Rick Newman. Board members remarked that the benefits detailed seemed more to meet San Diego’s regional goals than to help the Carmel Valley community. “From our standpoint, what are we getting from this? I have regional shopping at UTC and in Encinitas. You’re asking us to put up with a lot. We’re not going to get anything we don’t already have. What are we getting, a bowling alley? Where’s the museum? Where’s the town hall? Where’s the repertory theater?” asked board member Hollie Kahn. “Are you willing to throw us under the bus for the bigger benefit of San Diego?” Traffic has long been a major concern of the board

regarding this project. The 510,000 square feet originally planned for the site would generate 6,500 average daily trips, while the proposed project would generate 23,850 average daily trips, a difference of 17,360 trips representing a 267 percent increase. Traffic engineer Ann French-Gonsalves said that the applicant is taking steps to mitigate all of their significant traffic impacts. The board asked whether the $3 million adaptive control system Kilroy has proposed for 40 intersections in Carmel Valley will actually work. French-Gonsalves said the results of Kilroy’s pilot studies were positive. “The traffic engineering department has agreed that it will be completely beneficial and are ready to go ahead with it,” French-Gonsalves said. “The conclusion is that it’s expected to improve the situation. It’s not a required mitigation, the applicant is bringing this forward above and beyond the required mitigation.” The board also had concerns about the shared parking strategy for the development, whether there will be enough parking for all the uses. Board member Hollie Kahn said she used the numbers given to do her own analysis and found deficits of over 1,000 spaces during the times of noon and 7 p.m. French-Gonsalves said there are a total of 3,668 shared parking spaces but residents will not have to share — 1,116 spaces are reserved for residents only. Kahn said that for 608 residents, 1,116 spaces are not enough. “That’s not a realistic number. I’m concerned about parking because there’s no overflow,” Kahn said. “There’s just not enough parking anywhere in Carmel Valley. If you build it, they will come, and if there’s nowhere to park, it’s horrendous.” French-Gonsalves said according to their studies they consider the project to have sufficient, if not an excess, number of spaces. The board also had questions about the children generated by the project — how they will impact demands on park space and what schools they will attend. Winterrowd said that the project is expected to generate approximately 122 students in kindergarten through sixth grade and they will be absorbed by the Solana Beach School District. The project will also generate 120 seventh through 12th graders, who will attend San Dieguito Union High School District schools.

The board asked if there is enough room for the students at the schools and Winterrowd said that is not a city issue. To account for the impacts to parks, the applicant will be paying park fees, she said. One of Kilroy’s proposed community benefits was contributing toward the design of two new sports fields at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, however, that benefit is no longer on the table as the city does not put parking structures in city parks — the fields had been proposed atop a parking structure. After about two hours of questioning the city staff, the planning board went to work crafting its motion until after 10 p.m. Many board members were uncomfortable with not flat-out denying the project but encouraging the reduced mixed use. Copic said she would like to see an appropriately sized mixed-use project, but said she was concerned about the strength in which city staff supported the intensification of the site and was worried that it would sail through the planning commission’s approval. “If we do a modified approval the message won’t be strong enough,” Copic said. As board members Nancy Novak and Moore noted, one of the biggest issues they’ve heard from residents is about the size and scale and they wanted to make sure that was addressed. “The motion should be wordsmithed to more definitively state our rejection of the reduced Main Street and the reasons why it’s not right for the community,” said Moore who was able to work with Copic to modify the motion for the board’s 11-2 vote. The board made a second motion that included all of its conditions regardless of the final project. Conditions included items such as the buildings and garage facing the neighboring offices needing visual impact improvements and that the design of the residential homes fronting Del Mar Heights Road need to be enhanced. The board also requested that there be an independent project manager assigned who ensures that all of the community benefits that were promised are delivered. “The community benefits are vitally important to lessen the effects of the project with its substantial changes in community character,” said Ranu. “It’s a protection for us. We need to be clear and explicit that our expectations are based on what we were told.”

Del Mar resident and mom invents mess-proof plate BY NINA GARIN, SPECIAL TO CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, DEL MAR TIMES, SOLANA BEACH SUN As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. And after an embarrassing dinner out with her toddler — in which spaghetti ended up on a stranger’s head — Karen Weiss Kart needed a plate that couldn’t be lifted or moved. Since she couldn’t find one, Kart created the company Prodigi Kids and invented the Adi, a plate engineered to stay in place. Now the former attorney turned mother of three is going to Kickstarter, the fundraising website, to launch the Adi plate. She held a party Sept. 13 at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Along with introducing parents to the penguin-shaped plate, she is donating some proceeds to the San Diego Food Bank. The Del Mar resident who moved to San Diego from Forest Hills, N.Y. in 2005, tells us about her new role as an inventor. Q: What is the Adi plate? A: It’s a two-piece plate and lid for children 5 months through four years. Adi is the only plate specifically engineered to stay in place. Its innovative, patent-pending design includes a strong suction base, combined with a quick release tab allowing for easy parent removal. The tab’s clever placement is out of sight and out of reach for curious little fingers. Together, they keep your child’s food in place on a table or high chair so you can enjoy a mess-free mealtime. Q: Where does the name come from? A: The name Adi is derived from the Adélie penguin, which live along the coast of the Antarctic, love to swim, and eat their fish whole. Q: Where did you get the idea? A: In 2008, my husband and I were eating dinner out with our 18-month old daughter. I put a self-adhesive place mat on the tabletop and placed small pieces of spaghetti and meatballs, red sauce, and peas on it. We were all happily enjoying the start of our meal until my curious toddler figured out how to pull the place mat off the table. Within a second, she hurled it in the air like a Frisbee, and the food went flying everywhere. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it land on the head and shoulder of a man seated at the table behind us. His nice, white dress shirt was covered in red sauce. Spaghetti dangled from his head . . . I was mortified

In that moment, I thought to myself, “There’s got to be a better way!” From that point forward, I was determined to invent a plate that would solve this problem once and for all and make parents’ lives easier at mealtime. Q: Did you have any experience with inventing? A: This is my first invention. I’ve always been creative and a problem solver, so the process came naturally to me. I just love the science and the art behind inventing something and the tenacity it takes to finish it. Q: Tell us about the process you’ve gone through to get the plate made. A: Our prototype was developed by a team of engineering students at UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. Then, in 2013, we collaborated with an exceptional designer with experience designing top notch children’s products to create a more retail-ready prototype. Q: Have you tried the plate on your own kids (now ages 8, 6 and 3)? Do they like it? A: Yes, they love it! If my three kids can’t lift it off the table, then yours can’t either. Q: Given your expertise, what are the most difficult foods to clean up off the floor? A: Pasta with red sauce, raspberries and blueberries.

Those are a two-step process to clean. You have to pick them up and then wipe the floor clean to remove any residual liquid/stain. Q: What were you doing before you started working on Adi? A: Before founding Prodigi Kids, I practiced law in New York for nine years as a trial attorney and then in my own law practice, where I learned the ins and outs of running a business. Since moving to San Diego, I’ve been an adjunct professor teaching law-related classes. Now I work full time with Prodigi Kids. Q: Why did you chose to release Adi through Kickstarter? A: It costs a lot of money to bring a product to market that many people may not realize. If you don’t have the money yourself, then you need to turn to the crowd for help. I am so close to finishing and need the help of Kickstarters to reach the finish line. Right now, I am 100 percent done with development. Our patent has been approved. The support I receive from backers will go toward the purchase of the production tools and minimum order from the manufacturer. It’s exciting because Adi will be made in the USA, which is something that I’m really proud of. Our manufacturer is located right here in Southern California. Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: I love rap music and hip hop. Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend. A: Spending time with family and friends. It’s the time together that I cherish. I’m happy to do whatever my family is in the mood to do, but if I had to describe my ideal weekend, it would be going to the beach with my kids and having a date night with my husband. What I love about Del Mar... I love how family oriented it is and the elementary school that my kids go to. We moved from Mission Valley about a year ago and I was driving my kids all over San Diego for school and their activities. Now, I’m a lot closer to everything so it allows me to put more time into my work. Also, there is such an amazing community at my kids elementary school. I’m the volunteer chair there.

Patriot Profiles: ‘He served honorably and he died, and we were there to bury him’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY In Miramar National Cemetery, each white tombstone has a priceless story. For their country, their families, their passion for liberty, service men and women slumber, far from calls to action and shielded from evil threats. Under a cloudless sky, an American flag waves over the meticulously manicured lawn; its stars and stripes a stark reminder of the price paid by those bonded briefly in war, and now timelessly in peace. Two Army Honor Guardsmen in crisp dress blues were there an hour early, practicing as they do before every funeral. A car ceremoniously made its way to Shelter B, carrying a deceased 2nd Lieutenant who served in World War II. With solemnity, Cpl. John Gabino and Officer Candidate Eduard Cruz carried the remains from the car, to be placed before a small gathering of family and friends. Cpl. Gabino raised the bugle and the familiar sound of “Taps� pierced the reverent aura. Cpl. Gabino and OC Cruz then folded the flag with precise movements to be presented to the white-haired widow in a wheelchair. She leaned over, kissing it gently, as gratitude was expressed verbally. In three-and-a-half years, Cpl. Gabino has repeated simple and elaborate funeral details nearly 1,100 times as an active-duty Army National Guardsman belonging to the Honor Guard. He travels constantly, along with arranging, scheduling and following up with cemeteries, mortuaries and families to give due honor and respect to all military members who have earned an honorable discharge. For this 23-year-old with Mexican-American heritage, who has lived his whole life in San Diego, a desire to serve began in high school. “To me, it’s a moral obligation as a male to join the military once you turn 18 — something you have to do to serve your country for a little bit,� Gabino said. He had a brother who joined before him. “I didn’t want to be that older person that says, ‘Oh, I was going to join, but this happened and that happened and I didn’t. “I joined the Army National Guard, thinking I was joining the army,� laughs Gabino. No regrets as Gabino tackled regular Army basic training and schooling to be a combat

He emphasizes, “Honors are free of charge — they [the families] don’t have to pay anything.� They just have to call, send a picture, dog tags, a DD214 active-duty release form or something to identify that person served. From there, Gabino promises, “We’ll handle everything.�* Battalion training and unit preparedness is one side of Gabino’s life, but his main job is assuring that veterans receive thanks. “To be able to do this is an honor.

Rotarian modifies ALS Ice Bucket Challenge At the first September meeting of the Del MarSolana Beach Rotary Club, Jan Parsons modified the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge process by challenging her Rotary club members to douse both her and fellow Rotarian Kevin Cahill in exchange for donations to the ALS Association. Parsons had been challenged recently by a friend who had had four family members and friends die from ALS. This touched Parsons so much that it got her thinking about how to raise more money and make it fun, too. During the meeting, 12 members and a visiting Rotarian accepted her challenge. “I was touched by the generosity of our members — the amount they gave, and the number who participated,� said Parsons, who estimated that this single, two-minute dousing has led directly to over $1,200 going to fight ALS, with even more to be contributed through downstream challenges. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenera-

tive disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It leads to progressive muscle weakness that causes difficulty in speaking, swallowing and breathing, and, ultimately, death.

Carmel Valley Middle School seventh graders Lindsey Ewing and Sophie Stein have a lot in common. Both girls have grown up in Carmel Valley and play soccer for Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks Competitive. They also share a love of art and volunteerism. Combining their passions, Lindsey and Sophie found a creative way to give back to the community. The duo makes and sells hair bows with the proceeds benefitting Promises2Kids, a nonprofit organization that supports foster children and fights against child abuse and neglect in San Diego County. “We wanted to help kids that weren’t as fortunate as us,� said 12-year-old Lindsey. “They don’t have what we have. They aren’t able to do the special things that we do.� “We’re really fortunate to have parents that support us through everything,� said Sophie, 13, who added that her and Lindsey’s parents helped them launch their nonprofit, Let’s Get Bowing. “Our bows were not the best at first,� said Lindsey, who noted the pair learned how to make bows by watching YouTube videos. “As we kept making them, we got better and better, and everyone started

wanting them.� The bow-making duo started off selling their bows to friends and hosting “bowtiques� in private homes. Now, the pair is hosting bow-themed birthday parties and selling at La Jolla Open Aire Farmer’s Market. Bows cost $4 to $9, with prices varying based on the design and size. To date, Lindsey and Sophie have donated $1,200 to Promises2Kids. On Sept. 28, the girls are teaming up with Del Mar-based Ivivva to raise even more money for the local nonprofit. During “Beach, Barre and Bows,� Lindsey and Sophie will teach a bowmaking class, with proceeds benefitting the organization. “You’ll get to learn how to make bows,� Lindsey said. “You’ll get to pick your own ribbon and choose from a lot of colors.� “Beach, Barre and Bows� begins at 1:45 p.m. with the bow-making class at the Ivivva showroom (1217 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014), followed by a barre3 fitness class at 3 p.m. at Powerhouse Park. The event will also feature healthy treats and raffle prizes. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,� Sophie said. “And it will show the kids they are loved and cared for.�

Two organizations partner to benefit local youth The Junior Seau Foundation recently partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito for the fourth annual “Cruise 4 Kids” sports and exotic car rally fundraiser. Hunter Seau, Junior Seau’s son, donated $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Club to support the Sept. 6 event. He also rode as a passenger in one of the exotic cars in the rally. “I am happy to be representing my dad’s foundation by supporting Cruise 4 Kids for the second year,” said Hunter Seau, prior to the event. He turns 14 in September. “It is important to me to continue giving back to the kids who need it most.” Junior Seau, an Oceanside High alum and standout on San Diego’s only Super Bowl team, was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame and the team retired his No. 55. In memory and honor of Junior, the car Hunter rode in was No. 55. “The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito are incredibly thankful to the generosity of the Junior Seau Foundation for their generous donation to the Cruise 4 Kids Car Rally event, all to benefit the more than 20,000 youth that we serve each year,” said David Crean, BGC San Dieguito Chief Executive Officer, prior to the event. “Junior Seau, an icon in the San Diego Community, epitomized hard work and dedication to his craft and philanthropy. Through the Foundation in his name, they seek to educate and empower young people on important issues, much in the same way that Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito seeks to impact. I am very appreciative of our partnership with this great organization. Together, we are making a difference in the community.” The Junior Seau Foundation has been supporting numerous organizations throughout the years that empower youth to flourish, especially youth that may have a disadvantage due to social circumstances. The fit between the Junior Seau Foundation and the Boys & Girls Clubs is a great partnership that reinforces the Boys & Girls Clubs mission - to provide POSITIVE activities to develop the education, health, self-esteem and character of youth.

2nd annual Iron Mike Paddle to be held Sept. 20 in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach lifeguards are inviting the public to paddleboard in memory of one of their own during the second annual Iron Mike Paddle Sept. 20 at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. The five-mile paddleboard race and surfing festival was founded last year in honor of late Solana Beach lifeguard Mike McKay, who died when he was 23 in an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in January 2008. “Mike was a very positive person who always had a smile on his face,� said Solana Beach Marine Safety Sgt. Greg Uruburu, an Encinitas resident who worked with McKay. “He was somebody I always wanted to be around.� Although McKay was only a Solana Beach lifeguard for one season, he made an impact on the department and was honored in 2007 as the “Rookie of the Year,� Uruburu said. Now called the “Mike McKay Rookie of the Year� in

Because McKay was always outdoors, Uruburu said he couldn’t think of a better way to honor and remember his friend than an event like the Iron Mike Paddle. “Mike was so involved,� he said. “When he passed, it was such a shock to all of us. We all knew we wanted to do something for him.� Last year’s Iron Mike Paddle, which attracted 33 racers and about 400 attendees, raised roughly $5,000. Event organizers plan to double the amount of participants and attendees this year. Co-sponsored by the city of Solana Beach and organized by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association and nonprofit Rerip, Iron Mike Paddle will take place from 8 a.m.

Mike McKay Courtesy photo memory of McKay, recipients of the annual award receive a $500 scholarship from the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit established by McKay’s family. Proceeds from Iron Mike Paddle will benefit the foundation. “He was here for only one season, but he had a really significant impact on everybody,� Uruburu said. “He had the respect of his peers and his supervisors alike — just through his work ethic.� A longtime resident of Wrightwood, Calif., McKay was an emergency medical technician, lead ski patroller and lifeguard. He was an avid soccer player, surfer, hiker, mountain bike rider, rock climber and skier. He was pursuing his master’s degree in psychology at National University in La Jolla at the time of his death.

Teen Volunteers in Action partners with the Burrito Boyz to help feed the homeless of San Diego Michael Johnson, vice president of development for the San Diego Rescue Mission, was the honorary speaker at the recent Teen Volunteers in Action SD3 Kickoff event Sept. 7 at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. In 2010, Johnson started Hunger 2 Help, a nonprofit organization that manages and motivates young men to serve the homeless and has been fondly named the “Burrito Boyz.� When his son, Alec Johnson, gave him his Christmas Wish List, he never dreamed it would develop into a lifelong lesson. Instead of granting Alec the Smartphone and NFL jersey on his list, he was given a trip downtown to hand out

breakfast burritos to the homeless made in the Johnson family’s very own kitchen. Not only were the Johnson parents hoping to teach their son and his friends not to take things for granted, they wanted to do something to help others. After that first Sunday serving 54 hot breakfast burritos and bottles of water, the group knew they had started something special. For three full years without missing a Sunday, the Burrito Boyz joined by the Burrito Babes and a cast of volunteers from San Diego have served more than 72,000 meals and worked over 201 consecutive Sundays. Young men from Teen Volunteers in Action will soon

give up their Sundays just like Alec Johnson. TVIA Chapter SD3 has volunteered one Sunday morning a month as part of an ongoing partnership, assembling burritos and then handing them out to homeless people in downtown San Diego. To sweeten the deal, the chapter donated $600, approximately the amount it costs to feed 600-700 homeless. San Diego County has seen the population of homeless increase to more than 10,000 people as tallied in January 2013. Over 5,000 of these people live on the streets yearround.

Letters to the editor/Opinion What the Carmel Valley Planning Board got right In issuing its recommendation for a hybrid One Paseo, the Carmel Valley Planning Board got a lot right. It demonstrates that: •A mixed-use project makes sense for the site at Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real, •The architecture of One Paseo, as well as the roadway, bike trails and landscaping enhancements Kilroy Realty has proposed, are worthy of community support, and •Carmel Valley needs the critical mass of the One Paseo project to encourage future rapid transit, support economic development and meet critical housing needs. Fittingly, by proposing nearly 200,000 square feet of retail in its recommendation, the planning board ignored the objections of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center management, evidenced in its funding opposition to stop any retail competition from coming to this site. So while I do not agree with everything the board members said or did, I do agree that Carmel Valley deserves a true, pedestrian-friendly main street with a mix of uses that provides extraordinary community benefit, including state-of-the-art technology traffic mitigation solutions. Perhaps now we will get it. Carol Klein Carmel Valley Resident

Thank you, Marsha Sutton. Thank you for your perseverance in writing about the benefits of later school start times for middle and high school students. As a neuropsychologist, I have followed this research with interest for decades. As a community member, I have read your many columns over the years extolling the benefits of later start times, and I have been dismayed by the response of the San Dieguito Union High School Board. Now, as the parent of a sixth grader who will start at Earl Warren Middle School next year, it is with dread that I anticipate rousting my son every morning for the school’s 7:40 a.m. start time. Rarely in behavioral research are results so compellingly consistent and conclusive: Later school start times are clearly associated with better physical health, emotional well being, and academic performance. I was encouraged to learn that the district has asked its principals to begin a conversation about start times with their school communities. District parents have successfully flexed their collective muscle on several high profile issues recently. I hope they will campaign for later school start times with comparable vigor. The research is clear: Starting school later benefits our kids. Diane Jacobs Baizer

Kudos for bringing awareness to the importance of sleep for teenagers Re: “Education Matters/Opinion: Yet another study on the benefits of later school start times” by Marsha Sutton, Sept. 11. Dear Marsha Sutton: Your perseverance on the subject of implementing later school start times is inspirational because it brings awareness to the importance of sleep in the teenage population of our community, and you provided solutions that can be adopted in our school districts. Sleep quality is an important health concern because its restorative power provides physiological and psychological benefits to the overall health status of an individual as supported by the scientific research you cited in your education opinion piece. One avenue to address this health concern, while the political propositions become a reality, is to get school nurses in our community involved in this issue. Nurses can provide health education campaigns that target sleep hygiene and empower the adolescents of our community with knowledge that is conducive to making changes in their sleeping environment and lifestyle to improve their quality and amount of sleep. Sleep is an important health matter and combining advocacy for flexible school start times with education that motivates teenagers to have healthy sleep patterns can be a way to prevent daytime sleepiness that could compromise their safety, behavior and academic performance.

Planning board does not represent those who are opposed to One Paseo The Sept. 11 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting on One Paseo used, what seems to me, a deceptive process. Whereas the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board had taken public comments in the previous meeting, the board had never publicly stated its position until that night. What is the board’s position: the board apparently favors a development that has some 200,000 square feet of retail space, with a total development size of some 850,000 square feet. The board’s exact position is unclear because it was first aired as its position during a verbal discussion at the Sept. 11 meeting. The problem with this position is that it would probably increase traffic substantially. No one spoke up at the meeting because the planning board chairman had made it clear — both verbally and with the use of his gavel — that he would rule anyone who spoke up as being out of turn and would have them removed. But the result was very unfair. Using this strategy, the planning board had effectively hidden its position until after the public comment period was over and made it essentially impossible for members of the public to confront the board directly. The planning board does not represent those who are opposed to One Paseo. Steven Elster

Where Are the Girls? This past August in Los Angeles, Google held the finals for its annual Code Jam computer coding contest. Of the 26 finalists, there were no females. Last year the San Dieguito Union High School District began offering a coding elective in its middle schools. Ninety-five percent of the students who enrolled were boys. This year the percentage improved somewhat to 88 percent boys. Where are the girls? Computer Science/Information Technology continues to be one of the fastest growing and highest paid fields. The U.S. Department of Labor projects that by 2020, there will be 1.4 million computer specialist job openings. Yet U.S. universities anticipate that they will produce only enough qualified graduates to fill 29 percent of these jobs. In light of this information and when I consider what the future might hold for my 10-year-old daughter, the following statistics from the Girls Who Code website (www. girlswhocode.com) are equally alarming: •Despite the fact that 55 percent of overall AP test takers are girls, only 17 percent of AP Computer Science test takers are high school girls; •In middle school, 74 percent of girls express interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), but when choosing a college major, just 0.3 percent of high school girls select computer science; •While 57 percent of bachelor’s degrees are earned by women, just 12 percent of computer science degrees are awarded to women. This is not OK. Is there something more we can do at our schools to encourage more female participation? I believe there is. There used to be a similar issue with girls and science, but for the last five years the San Dieguito School District has had a 50/50 gender balance in the AP level math and science courses. Part of the solution is to recognize the problem. Once we shed light on it the School Board can encourage actions that increase enrollment. Rimga Viskanta

Letter to the editor/Opinion

Del Mar: Eight years without a fight?

People at meetings clear in their opposition to One Paseo, as revised

BY GORDON CLANTON For the fourth consecutive season, there will be no contested City Council election in Del Mar. Only two candidates stepped forward for two seats, incumbent Terry Sinnott and retired environmental attorney Dwight Worden. Likewise in Solana Beach and San Marcos, council elections were cancelled because the number of candidates was equal to the number of seats. Doing this saves money — $9,000 in Del Mar and $12,000 in Solana Beach. The idea of four straight uncontested council elections in Del Mar is remarkable, almost bizarre, in light of the community’s history of polarized, high-stakes, hardball local politics. In the 1970s the Community Plan was adopted in the face of well-organized opposition from real estate, construction and other business interests. In the 1980s the “greens” recaptured the council from the “grays” with intense council campaigns attached to Measure B (a growth-control initiative inspired by L’Auberge

Sharon, Conn. is a small town in the northwest corner of the state and where I grew up. Memories of it and the way its elected leaders operate, returned to me during the two recent hearings on One Paseo. Sharon utilizes the town system form of government, run by selectmen elected by popular vote. Open meetings to decide and vote on issues are conducted in the town hall. As a kid, I recall going to one. This meeting concerned a controversial item: Should the town keep its flashing red stop light at a busy intersection, or buy a new, three-light model? The issue was hotly debated. The chairman consulted with his colleagues and announced the decision: The flashing red light would remain. The alternative would make the town too “commercial.” I asked him after the meeting why the selectmen decided as they did. “You heard them — it’s what the people want.” At the two One Paseo meetings, the chairman attempted to restrain outbursts from the audience. Nevertheless, I believe any impartial observer(s) would conclude the people at those meetings were both loud and specific in their opposition to One Paseo, as revised. “Vox populi” count, this side of the country? Walter Carlin Del Mar

Dubious project, unfair to Carmel Valley With respect to the Sept. 11 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting regarding One Paseo: The plan is now clear. Kilroy will build high-density housing in the very center of Carmel Valley in return for permission to include massive business/commercial space three times the size for which the site was originally approved. I feel underrepresented, as do others I’ve talked with. Our Carmel Valley Community Planning Board openly acknowledged the potential for unmitigated damage to Carmel Valley by rejecting Kilroy’s 1.4 million-square-foot plan. However, the planning board then capitulated and submitted a motion for an alternative plan with “only” twice the approved size — so that One Paseo would have enough retail space for a regional mall. Retail traffic from a 12-mile radius is the worst possible outcome in my opinion, and probably that of many other long-term Carmel Valley commuters and residents. The San Diego city staff cites Kilroy-provided data to claim that the project “isn’t feasible without the regional mall.” Kilroy’s sop to build the unwanted high-density housing has become the “overriding benefit” (to San Diego) in return for making Carmel Valley suffer the unmitigated congestion and damage to its community character. This project isn’t even properly planned to serve San Diego. No adequate transportation network will exist to serve it. Kilroy’s “feasibility” assertion is as suspect as is their now ridiculed claim that “Carmel Valley wants this (development)” and as breathtaking as the excessive price they paid for the land in the first place.

and the Del Mar P l a z a shopp i n g center) and the Beach Protection Initiative. In the subsequent absence of proposals for major commercial development, Del Mar politics cooled. Consensus formed. Fewer people stayed longer on the council. And now, we approach a fourth consecutive uncontested election. Eight years without a political fight in Del Mar. Amazing. Of course, Del Mar did divide on the Village Specific Plan, an ambitious 2012 proposal to narrow Camino del Mar to one lane each way, install roundabouts, and permit second-floor apartments above downtown businesses. Had voters not defeated that measure, opponents probably would have mounted council campaigns promising to overturn it. Not that there is nothing to argue about in Del Mar. At one time, I thought the community division

over undergrounding utilities might produce one or more council candidates. Likewise the split between dog owners and Little League parents on the Shores School/Park property. And I hear rumblings that some residents believe the city has become too permissive in its regulation of the wave of re-development and extra-large home enlargements now sweeping the community. But, so far, none of these concerns has produced a council candidate. To his credit, former Del Mar City Attorney Dwight Worden was prepared to run in a contested election. Although by then appointed to the seat, Worden went ahead with his “kickoff party” Sept. 6, taking the opportunity to meet and listen to the concerns of voters. He is one of the most able people ever to seek election to the Del Mar council. Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu.edu.

Classical music calms canine companions BY DAVE ROBERTS When I return home after a long day, I love being greeted our rescued boxer, Cutie Patootie. When I pet that dog, I can feel the stress sheet right off of me. Our dogs do so much for us. For all of the comfort they provide, what can we do for them when they face stressful situations? One simple answer is to play classical music. Dawn Danielson, director of the county’s Department of Animal Services, says that her staff plays music at all three county shelters. Music is proven to calm a distressed dog’s nerves. “We use CDs especially made for shelters and boarding kennels,” Dawn says. “When the research first came out, about 10 to 12 years ago, we jumped right on it and so did many other shelters.” The county’s animal shelters – in Carlsbad, San Diego and Bonita – are clean and orderly, but even the nicest shelter is a very stressful place for a dog. There’s barking on all sides. Doors slam, steel bowls bang and their owners aren’t around. As unfamiliar people

Dave Roberts walk among the kennels looking for their pets, you can almost see the look of disappointment when a dog sees, that’s not my “dad,” Dawn says. Music really helps. Animal shelters aren’t symphony halls, but the soundtracks can be a lot alike. County shelters are equipped with CD players that shuffle the songs on six discs. Playing softly through the speakers are the soothing melodies of Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Vivaldi and Beethoven. The music is published by a firm called BioAcoustic Research & Development. On its Web site, www. throughadogsear.com, the company presents research

by animal behaviorists who study the effect of music on dogs. The studies show that classical music has “a marked soothing effect on dogs in animal shelters when compared to the other types of auditory stimulation.” Classical music resulted in dogs spending more time resting and less time barking. Not surprisingly, the researcher concluded that heavy metal agitated the dogs, as indicated by increased standing and barking. Even with classical music, researchers found that complex, orchestral arrangements were not as soothing as solo instruments playing at slower tempos. For many of us, the end of summer means our pets must stay home alone for long hours as we hustle back to school and work. That can be stressful for the dogs we love, like Cutie Patootie. So here’s something to wag about: a soothing soundtrack of classical music. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Tyler Ormsby hired as new head coach for Canyon Crest Academy water polo Canyon Crest Academy Boys Water Polo starts the 2014 season with a new head coach. Tyler Ormsby takes over the program at CCA after a standout 2013 season for the Ravens. Coach Ormsby brings with him a wealth of experience as both a player and coach. Ormsby was a CIF All San Diego Section First Team player at Valhalla High School where Ormsby earned four letters in water polo with 279 goals, scoring 125 as a senior. He signed with UCLA out of Valhalla High School before redshirting his first year for the Bruins. Ormsby transferred to Grossmont College. As team captain for the Griffins, Ormsby led Grossmont to a Pacific Coast Athletic Conference title in 2011, earning All-America and all-league honors. He finished his collegiate career at D-1 powerhouse University of Pacific. Ormsby coached club water polo with Premier Water Polo in Los Angeles. Commenting on his coaching philosophy, Ormsby said “I believe strongly in developing team-oriented players. While individual success is paramount, unless it is used to better the team it is diminished exponentially.� Ormsby comes from a water polo pedigree. His father, Greg, is a longtime San Diego water polo player and coach. Greg Ormsby coached at Hilltop and Poway high schools, in addition to becoming an assistant coach for the U.S. Cadet and Junior National teams. Greg Ormsby is now manager of the Del Mar Water Polo Club with his oldest son Brett. Brett Ormsby is head water polo coach at Cathedral Catholic High School. Brett is founder and head coach of Del Mar Water Polo Club, one of the best age group water polo programs in Southern California. Both Brett and his wife Thalia were National Team players and both played on the U.S. Olympic Team. Ormsby’s sister, now a teacher at Granite Hills High School, was also a stand out collegiate soccer player. Ormsby takes over the Ravens after graduating 13 seniors from the 2013 squad. When asked about a “rebuilding year� for the team, Ormsby said “With so many graduating seniors last year many people might think we are rebuilding. However, I believe we have the talent and the will to succeed to have a great 2014 while also building for the future.� Ormsby looks to build this year with leadership in and out

The Ravens have already proved to be a team to watch in 2014. CCA beat Palomar League and preseason ranked Mount Carmel in an impressive win in the 2014 Poway Invitational. CCA Water Polo looks to build on its success targeting a run at the 2014 CIF championships.

Del Norte Chapter of National Charity League refurbishes St. Vincent de Paul’s Jinny Jo Park in downtown San Diego The Del Norte Chapter of National Charity League recently refurbished St. Vincent de Paul Village’s Jinny Jo Park in downtown San Diego. The Jinny Jo children’s park serves hundreds of residents and families receiving support. NCL members planned and executed the project on their own, raising $5,000 from local businesses to fund the re-beautification. The NCL Del Norte senior class painted a shade canopy, play structure, storage shed and colorful wall mural. The girls also landscaped planters and a drainage ditch with river rocks donated by KRC Rock and plants donated by Village Nursery. In order to further sustainability and reduce water consumption, astro turf donated by Astro Turf USA was installed. Finally, the team will fill the shed with an assortment of games and toys, hang a new basketball net and volleyball net, and clean up the bathroom and BBQ area to make it all the more enjoyable for residents. The mother-daughter organization focuses on philanthropic, cultural and leadership development through middle school and high school. During their six-year tenure, the members of the Del Norte Chapter had the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of philanthropic activities, including volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul Village. The girls’ NCL experience culminates with the independent design and implementation of their senior service project. As a class, the girls sought a hands-on project that would benefit children and families in San Diego.

The family is going to be there — we’re going to be the last ones they see in uniform honoring their deceased,” Gabino said. “Us giving them flags show their grandfather, father, dad, uncle did a great thing for his country. He served honorably and he died and we were there to bury him.” Services for Active-Duty KIAs (killed in action) are intense, according to Gabino. “The family is with us while we go pick up the body at

the airport and that’s the first time the family sees them. As soon as they [the plane] comes down, we bring it out, put it in the church truck for the family to have a couple minutes with them. The family bitterly cries, in a lot of pain. That’s when it really hits you.” Services for KIAs include an eight-man rifle firing party and six soldiers folding the flag, still as a post, using hands only. “The Honor Guard is not for everybody,” Gabino said. “We have a lot of people that volunteer for it, but they come and go. Some people — they do them, but eventually it starts getting to

them and they get out. You have to learn to put aside your emotions for a bit.” Emotions took a front seat when a member of his unit died in a motorcycle accident. “All my fellow soldiers were there and I was in charge of that service, so I did the best I could. We’re all family, so we took it pretty hard when he died.” Describing military life so far, “Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not, sometimes it can be dirty and sometimes it’s clean. You make the best of it.” Gabino did more than make the best of it, earning first place at the Battalion level two years in a row in the Army’s Best Warrior Competition. This year a

grueling hike up the infamous “Stairway to Heaven” in Mission Trails wearing full battle rattle was on the table. Representing his Battalion in the Brigade competition, he was also tested on weapon skills, policies, regulations, current events, land navigation — all under the scrutiny of his “Superiors’ Superiors.” Lugging a heavy rucksack, wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest, boots, carrying a weapon in 115-degree desert heat while racing the clock, or hiking up a 45-degree, mile-high slope with the same gear is easier than managing life. “I want to be good at my job, but I want to be pre-

pared for the future, so I keep studying, which is draining.” (Gabino attends school full time.) He strives to be fit, which also taps reserves. Then there’s family, relationships … ”Trying to be good at everything — it gets very hard,” Gabino said. “To me, it’s worth it. It’s worth being there at attention for an hour or 30 minutes, not moving a muscle — standing there in the sun or wherever to be able to provide [what] I can do for that person for all their service — to be able to be there for them no matter what day it is or what time.” Cpl. Gabino dubs the Army National Guard as “that kick that helped me

start my life — ‘Hey you know what — you better get your stuff straight.’ You’re in the military now. Better work hard for what you want. It helps you think of what you want to accomplish and it helps you get there,” over 1,100 times and growing.

‘Simply Sinatra’ show coming to Rancho EARTHQUAKE continued from page 2 Santa Fe in May; Tickets on sale Sept. 19 year,” McDermott said.

Tickets for Simply Sinatra with Steve Lippia and his 10-piece band also go on sale Sept. 19. Lippia is set to perform May 9 in Rancho Santa Fe. The show begins at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the Village Church. Seating will be at tables of 10. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Lippia’s unique vocal styling will mesmerize the audience with his own distinct interpretation of everything, from jazz standards to tunes off the contemporary charts. More than a “sound-alike,” Lippia’s Las Vegas appearances and national tours have cemented his place as a champion of the Great American Songbook. Lippia has become one of the most prominent, in-demand vocalists and has quickly established his place among the finest interpreters of standards and traditional pop music in the nation. His show introduces a new generation to this timeless music, while appealing to longtime listeners, as his youthful, energetic talent and powerful show creates a perfect blend of classic and current hits. Tickets are $55 and can be purchased at the event or by mail at PO Box 2781, RSF 92067. Checks, Visa and MasterCard are accepted. For more information, visit www.ccrsf.org.

CAMERAS continued from page 1

Staff cited several reasons for the decline, including driver familiarity with the camera locations, stricter court requirements, reduced and slower citation payments, and the city’s lack of a monitoring program. The report also indicated a decrease in the number of crashes at camera-controlled intersections, from three crashes in 2001 to one in 2013. There were seven collisions in 2005, the year after cameras were installed. Five collisions occurred in 2006, three collisions each year from 2007-2009, and two in 2010 and 2012.

Assistant City Manager Mark Delin said Sheriff’s Captain Theresa Adams-Hydar and former Captain Robert Hailey believe red light cameras are effective, but some council members said the numbers were too low to determine whether the decrease was due to the cameras. “I’m disappointed in the lack of data,” Mosier said. “I have a hard time assessing what the safety benefit is, if any.” “I’m not too sure that they’re statistically safer, but they are costing us...,” added Deputy Mayor Al Corti. Staff also recommended several program changes to reduce expenses and increase revenue. Some of the suggestions

include changing camera locations, upgrading the equipment or having a community service officer review the tickets rather than a detective. Renewed in 2009, the city’s seven-year contract with Redflex expires in June 2016. For now, council members agreed to keep the cameras through the current contract, but monitor the program to determine whether to renew it in the future. The city’s contract includes three optional oneyear extensions. Several cities in the county have removed their red light cameras, including El Cajon, Escondido, Poway and San Diego.

If an earthquake hits and you are located in a high-rise building, take cover near an interior wall, protect your head and use the stairs, not the elevator, McDermott said. If you’re in a stadium or a theater, duck below the rim of your seat. “One thing you definitely don’t want to do is start running with a crowd,” she said. “You don’t want to get trampled under a stampede of people.” If you’re in the kitchen, move away from the fridge and the stove. If you’re at a store, move away from the shelves. If you’re driving, pull over to the side of the road and wait until the shaking stops. Don’t pull over underneath an underpass, a large tree or anything else that could fall. Similarly, if you’re outdoors, stay away from trees, buildings, poles and anything else that could fall. “Bottom line is duck, cover and hold on, and use

something that can be looked at to see what would work best for the community. Hall suggested that a design seminar with Torrey Hills parents might be useful. Last month the board approved a re-boundary for the area known as East Pacific Highlands Ranch where new homes are being built and the district is expecting to see an influx of students in the 2017 school year. With the new boundary, students will attend Ashley Falls rather than Sycamore Ridge, addressing declining enrollment at Ashley Falls

out-of-area contact and assemble a disaster kit. Keep a kit at home, work and in the car. Kits should include at least a three-day supply of food and water for each person, a radio, batteries, flashlight, medication, important documents, family pictures and other valuable items that can’t be replaced. Remember to include your pets in your family disaster plan and emergency kits, which include food, water, medication and crates. “Preparedness starts with you,” McDermott said. “We’re here to support the incident, but it comes down to how prepared you are as an individual and how prepared you are for your family. Take your personal preparedness into your own hands.” For more information, including a checklist for emergency kits, visit www. readysandiego.org.

and a projected full campus at Sycamore Ridge. With the new boundary, Ashley Falls is projected to grow from 395 students this school year to just at capacity with 689 students by 2020. Without the re-boundary and without moving the ECDC out of the school, Sycamore Ridge would have been way above its current school capacity of 575 students with populations in the 600s and 700s. With more room, it will be under its adjusted capacity of 825 in future years.

the center of campus. Parent Suzanne Hall said the placement seems to be “disruptive.” She said at Sycamore Ridge the ECDC is located off to the left while the rest of campus is on the right. Especially with the staggered start times she said younger children would be arriving as the rest of the school is just starting to settle into their day. McClurg thanked the parents for their ideas and she said the configuration is

your common sense to not be under anything that could fall on top of you,” McDermott said. After the initial shaking, survey the area to see whether there is any major structural damage or injury to people with you. Only use the phone to call 911 for life-threatening emergencies. Be prepared for aftershocks. The Kearny Mesa-based Office of Emergency Services coordinates the overall response to large-scale, regional emergencies such as the May wildfires, the power outages in 2011 and the wildfires in 2003 and 2007. To prepare for emergencies, officials encourage community members to create a family disaster plan that includes an escape plan and meeting location. Families should practice their plan twice a year, said McDermott, adding that the OES office offers a template for a plan on its website at www.sandiegocounty.gov/ content/sdc/oes.html.

the event. Roberts and the Live Well San Diego Lions Club will handle most, if not all, of the arrangements and costs associated with Host Town duties, said Solana Beach City Manager David Ott. Securing lodging and finding a chair for the Host Town Committee are usually the two most difficult tasks for Host Cities, yet the North County San Diego Host Town has already confirmed both, O’Leary said. Cal State San Marcos has donated its facilities for lodging. Lindsey Masukawa, who works as a policy advisor for Roberts, will serve as committee chair and coordinate with representatives from the three communities, O’Leary said. Once Encinitas officially comes on board, the North County San Diego Host Town will launch its own webpage and Facebook fan page. The three coastal communities will also be recognized on official programs, collateral and venue signage. “But I think the real benefit to the city is the opportunity to really promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities,” O’Leary said. Along with Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas, the Host Town program is seeking involvement from downtown San Diego, La Jolla and Poway. Coronado, Chula Vista and National City might collaborate to form a South County San Diego Host Town, and El Cajon, La Mesa, Lemon Grove and Santee might work together to form an East County San Diego Host Town, O’Leary said. “You guys should be really proud that you’re so supportive in San Diego,” she said.

Arch Academy Zombie Patrol relay teams members. Courtesy photos

Arch Academy students complete Catalina Island swim relay Two Arch Academy Zombie Patrol relay teams swam across the Catalina Channel on Sept. 5, completing a 20-mile swim from the island to the rocky Palos Verdes cove in 11 hours and 45 minutes. The 14-member team includes local swimmers Bella Manley from Del Mar; Austin Drawdy from Rancho Santa Fe; Matthew Georgy, Kaylee Kussman, Lauren Weinreb and Betzi Lindberg from Carmel Valley; Noah Rowan from Encinitas; and Faith and Zachary Irvine from Carlsbad. Other members are C.J. Fotinos, Diana Linney and Maddy Israel and Wesley Metcalfe. Arch Academy founder Cheryl Zak, a Del Mar resident, also swims with the Zombie Patrol. The Arch Academy is a year-round, wraparound private school for students who struggle in the traditional school setting, located in Kearny Mesa. “What is most amazing about the Zombie Patrol members is that many of the swimmers struggle with autism, ADD, ADHS, learning disabilities, eating disorders and other issues that have precluded them from participating in team sports,” said Zaks. “For many of the Arch students, this is the first time they have relied on others or have had to be a reliable team member.” The relay started around 11 p.m. in the dark water and swimmers were only visible because of their red and green waterproof lights. Swimmers endured disorienting darkness, swells, wind, sea-sickness and stinging jellyfish. Once the sun rose, the teams got help on their way to the shore from a favorable current and an inspiring pod of dolphins. Zombie Patrol members have been training for the swim over the past year with threeday-a-week sessions of weight lifting and swimming in the Santee Cameron Family YMCA and 6 a.m. sessions in the La Jolla Cove. Don Simonelli, founder of the Open Water Swim Academy, serves as the team’s coach. In the spring the team completed the 1.5 mile Alcatraz Sharkfest swim and in July they added twice-weekly night ocean swims to become acclimated to night swimming. This winter the Zombie Patrol will begin training for a 28-mile relay swim across the English Channel. For more information, visit thearchacademysandiego.org.

TPHS freshmen football team wins again BY WALTER BAYS The Cathedral Catholic High School freshmen football team had a tough opening schedule falling to Mission Hills 25-7, and to last year’s champion St. John Bosco, 48-0. So they were fired up to take on the undefeated Torrey Pines Falcons who beat Sweetwater 41-0, and Mission Hills 56-21. The Dons played well and held the Falcons to their lowest point total all year, but could not overcome the Torrey Pines defense. Cathedral took the opening kickoff and picked

up three first downs, including a crucial first down on a 9-yard run by quarterback #11 Thomas Kane-Berman, and a 22-yard run by #32 Brandon Hernandez, which could have gone all the way but for a tackle by #24 Matthew Goena. The drive stalled and Cathedral missed the field goal. Torrey Pines ran with #34 Gaston Schenk, #29 Ryan Ramirez, and #22 Beau Morgans, also making three first downs. On fourth down Torrey Pines lined up to go for it, then the pitch was to Goena who booted it deep. Falcon punt coverage came within inches of downing the ball inside the one. The Falcon ground game led by #11 Sully O’Brien drove into the red zone where Cathedral held on a 4th down try and the Dons took over on their own 12. At half time the game was still scoreless. O’Brien fielded the second half kickoff for the Falcons on the 12 and it looked well covered, but he ran the ball back 88 yards for the game’s first score, Falcons 7-0. Cathedral started their next series on their 35 and picked up two first downs with runs by Hernandez, #42

Tommy Twomey, and Kane-Berman. Torrey Pines ran successfully but Dons defenders #5 Jake Goddard, #18 Justin Clement, and #63, stopped them at 4th and 12 from the 14. The kick by #75 Tanner Wyandt made it 10-0 Falcons. Cathedral started on their 38 for one last chance to score. Then on 3rd down Falcon #85 Shayne Grant sacked Kane-Berman forcing Cathedral to punt it away on 4th and 18. With #14 Chris Temby in at quarterback the Falcons drove from their own 22 to near midfield on runs by Friedland, O’Brien, Schenk, and Temby as the clock ran out. Final score 10-0 Falcons. Torrey Pines remains undefeated at 3-0 and takes on Westview on Sept. 18, while Cathedral falls to 0-3 and faces Helix on the road.

DreamKeepers Project celebrating 10th anniversary of providing support for Family Recovery • Community encouraged to attend annual Chocolate Event Oct. 13 in Fairbanks Ranch BY KAREN BILLING This year the Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit DreamKeepers Project is celebrating its 10th anniversary helping women help themselves. Since 2004, DreamKeepers has been raising funds and awareness for the Family Recovery Center in Oceanside, a residential substance abuse treatment facility that allows women in treatment to keep their children with them as they recover and rebuild their lives. More than just funds and donations, the DreamKeepers provide hope, confidence and a second chance. “The joy you bring me from day to day keeps my dreams alive,” read a thank-you note from one FRC resident. DreamKeepers co-founder and vice president Pat Gregory said the gratitude they receive from the women just pushes the organization to do more. “It’s just grown and grown and grown,” Gregory said of DreamKeepers. “A lot of people are very passionate about the center and it’s amazing how generous people are.” The organization will be hosting its annual Chocolate Event, a membership thank you from 10 a.m. to noon on Monday, Oct. 13, at the home of Jeannie Ranglas in Fairbanks Ranch. The event will feature a cooking demonstration by Chef Claire Allison, owner and executive chef of Claire’s on Cedros in Solana Beach, as well as the organization’s “famous and fabulous” raffle baskets, vendors and an assortment of quiches and sweets. The Chocolate event is always free for attendees but they do suggest that people

bring a donation for the babies and moms at the Family Recovery Center. Suggestions include diapers, baby food, baby books, sippy cups, infant and toddler socks and gift cards to Babies ‘R’ Us or Walmart. DreamKeepers began 10 years ago when Gregory volunteered to bring a clothing donation to the Family Recovery Center. Once she experienced what the center was all about, she wanted to do more. “I wanted to give something back,” Gregory said. She ended up teaching parenting classes at the center and started to see how many needs for basic necessities the center had. She encouraged her friends and neighbors to clean out their closets for a fundraising drive. Those grassroots efforts led to the founding of DreamKeepers with her friend Vera Campbell to keep the project going. Gregory’s friend Sandi Chenoweth got involved at the start and now serves as president of the nonprofit’s board. “I felt like it was a good way to give back to an organization that really needed it,” said Chenoweth, who has been friends with Gregory since they were TWA flight attendants together years ago. “I really loved helping the women and children.” Typically there are 55 women and 40 children under the age of 12 at the Family Recovery Center. The women are usually in rehabilitation for about eight to 12 months. Over the years through DreamKeepers’ support, the home has been remodeled, kitchen appliances have been replaced and rooms have been refreshed. They provide educational scholarships, community college classes and a GED program and donations of clothing to Marjorie’s Closet for

They’ve provided funds for much-needed maintenance, such as painting, flooring and asphalt repairs with the work done by a volunteer group from North Coast Church as well as provided heartwarming things like layettes for newborns, scrapbooks for moms to preserve memories, shoes for youngsters heading back to school and a storybook hour for the children at the home, a program that has since been taken over by National Charity League volunteers. They’ve provided dishes and blankets for transitional housing, paid for day camps for the children this summer and made sure there’s enough turkey on Thanksgiving. “We’re just kind of the backup,” Gregory said. The Chocolate event is the only event they do all year but on Mother’s Day they also do a direct mail appeal with a focused need for the facility. This year the focus was building up a computer lab that helps prepare women to enter the workforce. Last year they raised funds for a play park for children

under 2 at the facility. There are a lot of babies born while women are at the center and they had no place to really be outside, Chenoweth said. The DreamKeepers revamped an old storage area that wasn’t used and transformed it into a play space with a rubberized surface and artificial turf, a ball pit, a caterpillar climbing structure, benches and picnic tables. The group raised $10,000 for the park and received a generous matching donation from the Bertha family, who had found out about the group at a Chocolate event. The park will be named in her honor at a dedication ceremony on Sept. 17. The park took much longer than they expected to accomplish but they are very happy to see it finally opening so the kids will have a place to play. “It’s beautiful,” Chenoweth said. “It’s our pride and joy this year.” The community is encouraged to attend the Chocolate Event, to meet the DreamKeepers board and hear more about their mission. RSVP by Oct. 8 for the event at 858-756-6993 or email contact@Dreamkeepersproject.org. Find out more about DreamKeepers at dreamkeepersproject.org.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: For a second straight week, Cathedral Catholic trailed late in the second half. And for a second straight week, the Dons came from behind to win. Timothy Semenza kicked a late field goal to lead the Dons to an 8-7 come-frombehind victory over local rival Torrey Pines in a nonleague game on Sept. 12. Semenza’s 21-yarder came with just 3:28 left in the game. Semenza also kicked a 41-yarder in the second quarter that broke a scoreless tie. The Falcons took a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter when quarterback Sandy Plashkes broke away for the game’s only touchdown. But Cathedral Catholic closed to within 7-5 midway through the fourth quarter on a safety, setting up Semenza’s game-winning kick minutes later.

Two men to share stories of adventure, hardship and unity at Sept. 28 event BY JOE TASH One man is a mountain climber, inspirational speaker and cultural anthropologist. The other survived a 1,000-mile trek through war zones in Africa as a young boy, and has since written a best-selling book about his experience. The two men, now close friends, collaborators and housemates, will share their divergent tales of adversity as part of the Viewpoints lecture series at the Village Community Presbyterian Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28. Alepho Deng, a native of South Sudan and one of the “Lost Boys” who fled from that country’s civil war, and Jeff Salz, who began traveling the world at age 17 and has led numerous mountain-climbing expeditions in South America, the Himalayas and elsewhere, have appeared around the United States in the two-man performance piece they co-wrote, called “Across Worlds,” which Salz has dubbed “lecture theater.” One of the themes of their talk in Rancho Santa Fe will be that people may be separated by small things, like their cultural preferences, but united by big ideas, such as values and aspirations. “We are united by a common spirit. Human beings from dissimilar cultures can unite around very high goals and understandings,” said Salz. “The reason that’s important is that the world is now being shattered by fundamentalism, greed and tribalism.” On a recent morning, Salz and Deng spoke with a reporter on the deck of the Encinitas house Deng shares with Salz and his girlfriend. They were joined by Judy

(L-R) Judy Bernstein, Alepho Deng and Jeff Salz. Bernstein, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who met Deng shortly after his arrival in San Diego in 2001. Bernstein helped edit the stories of Deng, his brother, Benson Deng, and cousin, Benjamin Ajak, which were published in the 2005 memoir “They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys From Sudan.” A 10th anniversary edition of the book is due out next year. A film version of the story of Sudan’s Lost Boys, “The Good Lie,” starring Reese Witherspoon, is set to come out in October. The plot centers around an American woman who helps a groups of Sudanese refugees. While the film is not specifically based on the trio’s book, Deng did voiceovers for the movie. He said, “I feel 90 percent of the story resembles our story.” The film’s screenwriter, Margaret Nagle, met with Bernstein, and she also read an early version of the book, Bernstein said. Since his arrival in the United States, Deng has spoken at hundreds of schools

and colleges. The Sept. 28 appearance in Rancho Santa Fe marks a return of sorts. One of his earliest speaking engagements was at the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club in 2003. “I was probably dead by nervousness. I don’t remember anything I said,” he said. Deng was only about 5 years old when attacks by soldiers on his village caused him to flee for his life. Along his trek, he witnessed acts of violence, along with people starving and dying of thirst. He made it to a refugee camp in Kenya, where he lived for nine years before emigrating from Africa to the United States. Along with public speaking and writing his book, Deng has tried his hand at acting, including a turn as an extra in the film “Master and Commander,” and he also worked for Kaiser Permanente for five years as a file clerk. He returned to South Sudan once, in 2008, when he visited his mother, who had moved to the capital, Juba. He and Salz share a goal of establishing a residential

“peace academy” in South Sudan, to provide shelter for war orphans in his native country, and hopefully instill lessons of peace and reconciliation in future generations. As for his own plans, Deng said one of the lessons he has learned from his friends, Salz and Bernstein, is that it is good to have a map of where his life is going, even though he was raised to focus on the here and now. “As Lost Boys, we didn’t have a map, we just walked, that’s only to survive, so I still carry that part of me,” Deng said. “I want to continue to tell this story. I don’t know where it’s going. Maybe that’s the future. Maybe I will look back 40 years from now and say, ‘I did it, I told this story.’ My story is everybody’s story, people relate.” For tickets to the Sept. 28 talk by Deng and Salz, visit www.villageviewpoints.com or call (858) 381-8070. The lecture series is jointly sponsored by the Village Church and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.

In Painterly Fashion: Jack Whitten retrospective opening at MCASD FROM MCASD REPORTS With 60 canvases from the 1960s to the present, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will host “Jack Whitten: Five Decades of Painting,” Sept. 20-Jan. 4 at 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. The show will be the premiere installation of the largest traveling, full-career retrospective exhibition of this consistently active artist. For 50 years, Whitten has explored the possibilities of paint, the role of the artist, and the allure of material essence in his innovative studio process. “With compositions that are abstract and elegiac, Whitten operates with both discipline and intuition,” write curators in a press release advancing the exhibition. “Whitten foregrounds material properties of paint-pigmentation, viscosity, and mark-to capture the momentary and suggest the enduring. Whitten exploits the potential of acrylic paint to convey immediacy and historicity.” Born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1939 Whitten attended the Tuskegee Institute before transferring to Southern University. While initially studying medicine, he was compelled to switch direction and pursue the visual arts. A participant in the civil rights movement, Whitten met Martin Luther King Jr. and adopted his call for peaceful protests. Ultimately, the incivility Whitten encountered during such protests caused the artist to abruptly leave the South, moving to New York City. Current scholarship often describes Whitten working through the gestural influences of Abstract Expressionism before achieving creative maturity in the mid-1970s. This show will debut a series of small black-and-white “ghost” paintings from 1964 that reveal Whitten working “without the wrist” almost a decade before his noted abstractions of the 1970s. These early wet-on-wet paintings are followed by an interlude of gestural works (his “garden” series), which may be seen as a digression from the material-

Jack Whitten based experimentations to which he returns in the 1970s. Throughout the ‘70s, Whitten emphasizes formal innovation and devises tools to help him produce his effects — long-handled squeegees, rakes, and serrated combs. As his figurative references fade, his intent to realize the total picture plane in a single gesture ascends. Works from the period will include test slabs and drag canvases, which were featured in Whitten’s 1974 one-person exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. For more than three

Jack Whitten’s ‘Black Monolith, II: Homage to Ralph Ellison the Invisible Man’ (1994) is made from acrylic paint, molasses, copper, salt, coal, ash, chocolate, onions, herbs, rust, eggshells and razor blades on canvas. Courtesy photos decades, Whitten has spent a portion of each year on the Greek island of Crete. He often breaks down words to their Greek etymology and, in the late-1970s, used the Greek alphabet as an ordering system for his optical canvases. In these primarily black-and-white works, Whitten subtly introduces color by rubbing pure powered pastel into the wet acrylic. By the 1980s and 1990s, Whitten

amplifies his plastic treatment of the acrylic paint by working directly with Aquatec staff and introducing acrylic emulsions such as Rhoplex. Collage, an admitted influence of Romare Bearden, manifests itself in Whitten’s tessellated constructions, wherein he creates paint tiles and then adheres them to the canvas: he breaks down the paint to remake the painting. In these decades Whitten also develops overall textures and patterns with imprints of screens, grates, and other materials. As the century turns, Whitten references bar codes and apps — the geometry of the Information Age. This retrospective will be followed by a national tour, and is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication with a lead essay by exhibition curator Kathryn Kanjo, an artist interview conducted by art historian Robert Storr, and new writing by poet Quincy Troupe.

Accomplished CV theater actor thrives on challenge of award-winning musical ‘Next to Normal’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SAMANTHA TATRO Carmel Valley actor Robert J. Townsend stumbled upon musical theater by complete accident. One afternoon in high school, Townsend’s best friend stayed after school to audition for the school musical “Something’s Afoot.” Townsend, who usually got a ride home with his friend, decided to wait for the ride anyway. He ended up auditioning for the school musical that year, but he had nothing to sing, so he sang “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” — and he got cast. “I was terrible, terrible, there’s a video on Facebook. Terrible, I can’t even believe I did the show,” Townsend said. “But that was the first time, and I just sort of got bit by the bug.” That was the start of what would become a global career in theater, from singing with the Opera Pacific in Orange County to singing in Brazil to his current endeavor, playing the clean-cut dad Dan Goodman in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Next to Normal.” “I always call it my accidental career,” Townsend said, adding that he spent his college summers working on productions before eventually getting paid for his work. “All these things kind of just kept happening and there was no moment [he knew he wanted to become an actor], until I suddenly found out I was in love with performing,” the Framingham, Mass. native said. The actor, fresh off the national tour of “Jersey Boys,” has been home for less than a month and is already in rehearsal for “Next to Normal,” which opens Sept. 26. The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical tackles mental illness and crisis through the eyes of one family and its mother, Diana Goodman, as she struggles to cope with her bipolar disorder. Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s book and lyrics transform mundane suburban life and the struggles of dealing with loss into a riveting powerhouse contemporary musical. Townsend initially undertook the challenges of the musical a year and a half ago, when he and two other cast members — Bets Malone and Eddie Egan — were cast in the show together in La Mirada. The producers saw the production and “fell in love” with the show, Townsend said, and decided to bring it down to San Diego. Townsend, Malone and Egan were asked to come back and reprise their roles.

Photo by Samantha Tatro “It’s not an easy show to get through,” about it before seeing it. “This isn’t a tragic, tragic musical, it’s a Townsend said. “It’s an emotional journey, it’s a physical journey. It’s a demanding realistic musical — it’s about real life,” show to do, but I love the piece so much. It Townsend said. “People come in and they came to me the first time at a time when I say, ‘A musical about bipolar [disorder]? needed to be able to take that trip every day That sounds like the worst idea ever.’ It’s to deal with some things in my personal life, not. It’s full of humor and you cry and it’s you know, some loss in my family, and I full of beautiful emotions and I think that, if found it so helpful ... it was something I nothing else, it makes you think.” Townsend called the musical, and his needed.” To take on the complexity of mental experience with it, cathartic. The opportuniillness, the entire cast has been doing exten- ty to come back and work with it, he said, sive research on the subject prior to the allows him to revisit the material at a differshow. That includes watching videos of peo- ent point in his life after a period of personple going through electroconvulsive therapy al growth. “One of the biggest reactions from peoand reading documentation about mental ple who saw the show before was they wantillnesses and behavioral disorders. Townsend said he found it daunting ed to call somebody they loved when they when he approached the musical for the were done,” Townsend said. “It makes you first time, like many people who might read want to reach out to people and connect.”

Though the material is daunting, he said, it is ultimately rewarding for him as an actor and for the audience. “It’s not feel-good, but it’s feel everything,” Townsend said. “I just figured this out the other day; it’s something I learned since last time. It’s not feel-good but it’s feel everything. You will feel good. But you’ll also feel sad, you’ll feel confused and angry and all those things — but it’s worth it. It’s worth it to feel all those things.” Townsend smiled over coffee. “Just remind your readers not to be scared of it,” Townsend said with a laugh. San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “Next to Normal” features Bets Malone as Diana Goodman, Robert J. Townsend as Dan Goodman, Eddie Egan as Gabriel “Gabe” Goodman, Lindsay Joan as Natalie Goodman, Eric Parker as Henry, and Geno Carr as Dr. Madden. The production is directed by Nick DeGruccio and musically directed by Don Le Master. The musical opens Sept. 26 and runs through Oct. 12. Show times will be Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. To purchase tickets, call 858-560-5740 or visit www. sdmt.org.

Find authentic-style Japanese fare at Samurai BY KELLEY CARLSON fter nearly 30 years in business, Samurai Japanese Restaurant is practically a North County legend. First opened in 1979 by David Song, it was the first Japanese restaurant in the area, said Song’s son, Charlie Song. It was located on Highway 101 in Solana Beach, until it was destroyed by a fire in 1986. Yet like a true warrior, the business survived the tragedy, and reopened a year later on Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Today, the establishment continues to thrive under Charlie Song, who took over as owner when his father died in 1992. Guests can choose various types of settings — whether it’s relaxing at the sushi bar or cocktail lounge, relishing a meal in the dining room, watching chefs slicing and dicing their way through foods at a teppan grill, or experiencing the fare “Japanesestyle” in a Tatami Room. Originally, Samurai only served sushi, but the menu has expanded over the years, featuring authentic Japanese cuisine prepared in the “old-style tradition,” Charlie Song said. In the teppanyaki dining room, patrons are seated around a teppan table, which features an iron griddle. Chefs provide entertainment of sorts, playfully flipping utensils while preparing grilled fare such as chicken, steak, scallops, prawns, mahi mahi, salmon, calamari and vegetables. Customers can request them individually or in various combinations, including the Samurai Special with filet mignon and lobster.

On The Menu Recipe ■ The Recipe of the Week is

Samurai’s Sunomono Salad

Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants Teppan dinners are served with miso soup, salad, a shrimp appetizer, vegetables and rice. Those who are seated in the dining room have a different set of menu options. They may start with an appetizer such as Yakitori, a shishkabob with alternating pieces of grilled chicken lightly glazed in a sauce with peppers and onions. Other starters include Gyoza (pork dumplings), Fried Calamari, Harumaki (egg rolls), several types of tempura (deep-fried seafoods and vegetables) and more than a dozen other choices to whet the appetite. Entrée selections range from Tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet), Sukiyaki (sliced beef and vegetable soup) and Teriyaki Chicken, to Yosenabe (seafood, chicken and egg soup) to Lobster Tempura. Since it started as a sushi establishment, Samurai is most widely known for its raw fish. Among its specialties is the Rainbow Roll, which has an outer layer of avocado

Sunomono Salad combines raw seafood and cucumber with rice vinegar. and assorted fish, and an inside that contains the standard California Roll fillings of avocado, cucumber and crabmeat. The rice is prepared in a mix of vinegar and a dash of sugar. Another popular draw is the sashimi, with varieties such as bluefin tuna, hamachi (yellowtail), sake (salmon), hirame (halibut), tako (octopus) and albacore. In the semi-private Tatami Room, guests pad barefoot across mats and settle on cushions placed on the floor before lowplatform tables. Then, patrons put trust in the chefs’ choice to create a delicious meal (omokase). Reservations for these rooms are required at least a day in advance, and the cost is between $80 and $120 per person. For a less formal setting, patrons can head to the recently remodeled cocktail lounge or the 50-seat sushi bar for happy hour specials on select wines, beers, well drinks, hot sakes, sushi rolls and appetizers.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

The Wine Sellar & Brasserie offers high-quality wine, food, storage space and more BY KAREN BILLING The Wine Sellar & Brasserie will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Like any fine vintage, the Sellar has simply gotten better with age, adding onto its public wine storage facility as customers requested more and more. Now it is much more than just storage space: The WineSellar & Brasserie is a full-service wine shop, a fine dining destination in the upstairs Brasserie, and a spot for happy hours and tastings at the downstairs Casual Side. The WineSellar and Brasserie also offers a unique monthly wine club and off-the-beaten track wine tour excursions to wine regions such as Spain, France, South Africa and, next year, Italy. “It’s a real fun business to be in,” said Lori Parker, who owns the business with her husband Gary. “The people who really like fine food and wine tend to be very fun and interesting people, they love to travel and they really enjoy life.” “We’ve made a lot of great friends over the years,” Gary added. The Parkers lived in Encinitas for 27 years before moving to Del Mar a year ago. A San Diego native, Lori first got into wine when she went to college in Northern California, close enough to explore the Napa and Mendocino wine countries. Gary started out as an architecture student but he fell in love with wine and food and never looked back. He managed Mon Ami, one of San Diego’s first French restaurants, and also worked at Mille Fleurs in Rancho Santa Fe. Lori and Gary met when they both had jobs selling wine for a European company, quickly falling in love. Ask Gary what’s the best thing they have in the WineSellar and he’ll sweetly indicate that it’s Lori. She will beam. “When we had been selling wine so many people would say they would buy more wine if they had a place to store it,” Lori said. At the time there were no public wine storage facilities,

Lori and Gary Parker are celebrating The Wine Sellar’s 30th anniversary. Photo by Bill Wechter, UT San Diego save for a local dentist who would help people store their wines in an empty space under his dental practice — wines were separated by chicken wire. The dentist gave the Parkers a list two yards long of people on a waiting list to get into his makeshift wine cave. A year later in 1984, the Parkers opened their first facility with 33 wine lockers. When they found their current Sorrento Valley location in 1989 they knew it was the perfect spot: a three-story building in a central location. Gary tapped his architecture background to design a state-of-the-art three-story, earthquake-proof wine storage facility. Now 200 wine lockers deep, people keep their collections safe in the optimal temperature, 55 to 59 degrees. One customer has more than 1,500 cases in storage. “I enjoy when people come back and they haven’t been

to see their wine in a number of years and they’re all excited about it,” Gary said. There were few boutique wine shops when they opened in 1989 and they put Gary’s knowledge and expertise to work. Currently the wine shop has an “off the charts wonderful” Saint-Joseph white from the Rhone Valley in France that you can’t find anywhere else in Southern California, and their most prized possession is a magnum of a 1947 Chateau-Chavel Blanc that is worth $40,000. Last week the floors of the shop were full with WineSellar’s wine club orders. “The wine club is unique in that we handpick the wines every month, they can come from anywhere around the world and aren’t just one winery,” Lori said. They offer three levels in their wine club, ranging from $35 to $100 for two bottles a month. Due to their buying power, WineSellar is able to negotiate prices well below what the public might pay, typically 10 to 40 percent less than the suggested retail price for the wines. The upstairs Brasserie menu changes on occasion but there are mainstays that will never be taken off the menu — Lori said they’re known for their duck confit and their grilled leg of lamb salad. “It’s a French-based menu but it’s really French-Californian, there’s no heavy creams and butters, everything is made in house with all organic produce,” Lori said. The Brasserie recently expanded its hours and is now open for lunch five days a week, serving up items to enjoy in the restaurant or to-go such as its chicken liver pate terrine appetizer, soups, salads and sandwiches, such as the warm brie with pear, prosciutto and blueberry butter. Like wine microclimates, the WineSellar is a variety of different spaces, from the white-table cloth fine French dinSee WINE, page B17

BY JEANNE FERRIS The San Diego Film Festival is gearing up for five days of exciting U.S. premieres — and some are world premieres of groundbreaking independent films by emerging filmmakers, local and international. More than 1,500 films were submitted and only 100 titles were selected to screen Sept. 24-28 at Gaslamp’s Reading Theater and La Jolla’s Arclight Cinemas. Q&A panels will follow the films, which can include actors, directors, writers and producers. This interactive experience is what makes the festival special for film lovers. “San Diego Film Foundation (host of the festival) is an educational and nonprofit which was created with a purpose and a passion. Our purpose is to put San Diego on the motion picture industry map. And our passion is independent film,â€? said Dale Strack, chairman and CEO. Three-time Oscar winner “12 Years A Slaveâ€? opened the festival last year. This year, “Wildâ€? starring Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern will open the festival and “You’re Not Youâ€? starring Hilary Swank, Emmy Rossum and Josh Duhamel will close the festival. Duhamel will be in attendance for the screening and Q&A panel. Leading the program are gala presentation screenings, which include Lynn Shelton’s “Laggiesâ€? starring ChloĂŤ Grace Moretz, Keira Knightley and Sam Rockwell, Philippe Falardeau’s “The Good Lieâ€? starring Reese Witherspoon, Morten Tyldum’s “The Imitation Gameâ€? starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, and Antoine Fuqua’s “The Equalizerâ€? starring Denzel Washington, Michael Csokas and ChloĂŤ Grace Moretz. “This year, we have implemented a state-of-the-art ticketing system that offers VIP passholders, first priority selection before the general public — to pre-select films, panels or parties,â€? said Stephanie Inesco, SDFF producer. VIP passholders also have the opportunity to mingle with filmmakers and celebrities on the red carpet and at private parties such as the Opening Night party, Almost Famous party and the Filmmaker Awards party. “One of our signature events is Variety’s Night of the Stars: A Tribute at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Arts,â€? said Tonya Mantooth, Emmy-award winning producer, and vice president and director of programming at SDFF. “This year we are honoring Alan Arkin, a 45-year veteran of screen and stage with the inaugural Gregory Peck award cre-

Honoree Alan Arkin ated by his daughter, Cecelia Peck, for an individual who has made a significant contribution to the world of filmmaking. This show will also be moderated by renowned movie critic Jeffrey Lyons.� The festival offers features in all genres, documentaries and shorts, which are short stories and shorter than feature films. These are usually funded by film grants, nonprofit organizations or out-of-pocket funds. They may also qualify for the Oscars, which are bestowed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Emmy-winning women’s health advocate and breast cancer survivor Carol LeBeau will lead an expert panel to help attendees answer important breast health questions. “When it comes to breast cancer awareness, one fact is obvious — there is a lot of information swirling around that is less than factual and can be very confusing to women,” said Laura Farmer Sherman, executive director of Susan G.

Sharing the facts so that the women of San Diego can be educated about their breast health is the core of Komen’s mission at this event.” The evening will consist of a reception, dinner and a discussion about the breast health facts that can keep San Diegans informed and healthy. The panel of experts will include Ardy Arianpour, chief strategic officer at Pathway Genomics; Dr. Jennifer Purdy Mayberry, M.D., diagnostic radiologist and women’s imaging specialist at San Diego Imaging and Chandini Portteus, chief mission officer for Susan G.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS All Home Medical Supply is now open After the recent closing of Burns Drugs in La Jolla in April, customers who need home healthcare supplies are finding themselves with no convenient alternative in the Central San Diego area. Fortunately, All Home Medical Supply opened up on Convoy Street on June 9 and is able to meet residents’ medical supply needs. Not only that, but patrons of Burns Drugs will see a familiar face or two in the new store. Malcolm Brooks and Sharon Hubele, two of the store’s medical supply consultants and former Burns Drugs employees, lend their experience and knowledge to the customers of All Home Medical Supply. Malcolm worked at Burns Drugs for nine years and holds over 30 years experience working with medical services and equipment. Sharon was a member of the Burns Drugs team for four years. Both Malcolm and Sharon are experts in compression stockings, wheelchairs, canes, lift chairs, walkers, incontinence care, and wound care. All Home Medical Sup-

RSF Democratic Club to host fundraiser for Congressman Scott Peters The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club recently announced it would host an evening to support the re-election of Congressman Scott Peters. Elected to Congress in 2012, Peters serves California’s 52nd Congressional District. The event is scheduled for 6:30-9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Admission costs $15 for members and $25 for non-members. To RSVP, call 858759-2620 or visit rsfdem.org.

‘Prescription Drug Take Back Day’ to be held Sept. 27 National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27. The event aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the public about the potential for abuse of medications. There are 40 drop-off locations in San Diego County, including campuses, medical offices, military bases, police departments and Sheriff’s stations. For the location nearest you, visit www.DEA.gov.

WINE continued from page B7

All Home Medical Supply ply carries all of the same equipment that Burns Drugs used to – everything from wound care to compression garments, lift chairs, walkers to bath safety items – as well as some more specialty items. The store boasts over 4,500 square feet of showroom floor, making it one of the largest durable medical equipment stores in San Diego county. What sets All Home Medical Supply apart from an average pharmacy is that they do not carry the more common over-the-counter products. They instead focus on more natural pain remedies and products their customers can’t get anywhere else. “You can get aspirin at any corner convenience store,” Malcolm said, “but you can’t find a lift chair or someone who will be able to measure you for compression stockings.” All Home Medical Supply is located at 4150 Convoy Street in San Diego, 92111, near the 805, 163, 52 Freeways.

The Casual Side is a place where people can come for happy hour after work, meet friends over a glass of wine or a cocktail, or one of the eight San Diego craft beers they always have on tap. The food menu is not your standard bar menu — “It’s a little more sophisticated ... flavorful and different,” Lori said of items such as artisan duck leg confit tacos, seared polenta, smoked rabbit sausage and New England green lip mussels. The WineSellar offers twice-weekly tastings: Wednesday from 4-9 p.m. they do tastings in the Casual Side and on Saturdays they do a fun wine tasting in the Brasserie, with a special entrée to go with the wines for only $12.50, from 2-5 p.m. Once a month the WineSellar does special walk-around tastings that allow people to try 15 to 20 different wines, always on a theme, for a low price. Every six to eight weeks they also hold Winemaker’s Dinners. For information on the wine club or upcoming tasting events, visit winesellar.com.

Eggplant 101: Shedding light on this versatile nightshade The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Dear Kitchen Shrink: I love eggplant, in fact, I never met an eggplant I didn’t like, but it doesn’t like me back. I’ve heard that it should be avoided by those who suffer from arthritis (unfortunately me). Is that true? Hoping it’s a myth. K.C., La Jolla The Shady Side of Eggplant The eggplant or “garden egg,” a true botanical berry is a member of the extended plant family called Solanaceae. Eggplant is a nightshade grown perennially although its peak season is AugustSeptember. Nightshades

have been blamed for reeking havoc on arthritic joints since they are one of the biggest pro-inflammatory culprits in the Western diet, along with close cousins tomatoes, white potatoes (not yams or sweet potatoes) and all varieties of peppers, even the sneaky Paprika spice. Naturopaths have found a link between those sensitive to weather changes and a nightshade sensitivity, which can cause or exacerbate creaky, achy joints, stiffness and muscle pain, even acid reflux, insomnia and poor healing. Those who believe they have a nightshade intolerance should give eggplant the kibosh or eat in moderation. You know your body, so govern your eggplant consumption accordingly. Nightshades also contain nicotine — eggplant having the richest store of all plants and vegetables at 100ng/g. Generally, this is a trifling amount. Most people would need to gorge on more than 20 pounds of eggplant to consume the equivalent nicotine contained in one cigarette. Purple Powerhouse Despite its drawbacks, for the most part the boons of eggplant (and it’s divine taste and texture) outweigh its seedy side. Believed to be

a native of India, the mighty eggplant was known in those parts as the “king of vegetables.” It’s a low calorie, fat-free source of dietary fiber for colon health, rich in calcium, folic acid and body balancing potassium, and B1, B6 and bioflavonoids to put the skids on high blood pressure and stress. The nightshade is also rife with Vitamin K to regulate normal blood clotting, along with a potent antioxidant called nasunin that protects against free radical damage, helps rid the body of excess iron and lower ‘bad’ cholesterol levels. Where possible, leave the eggplant unpeeled as the skin has the biggest source of phytonutrients. Cultural Culinary Diversity Eggplant crosses many cultural boundaries, enjoyed bountifully across the globe. The British and French call them aubergines, the Persians use badnjan, the Greeks malitzane, Italians refer to them as malanzane, translating to “crazy people,” while the nightshade is called brinjal in India. Don’t put all your eggplants in one basket with the ever-versatile nightshade. Try Italian antipasto

or eggplant lasagna, Mediterranean babaganoush or moussaka, Australian eggplant caponata, Egyptian pickled eggplant, southern fried eggplant, Chinese garlic eggplant in a hot pot, jungle curry and Thai eggplant, grilled eggplant panini, chopped eggplant caviar or French ratatouille. An Eggplant Line-up Eggplants come in vari-

ous shapes, sizes and designer shades ranging from deep purple and mauve to white and emerald green. Some of the most popular varieties include ellipticalshaped American Black Bells and Black Beauties, diminutive egg-shaped Indian varieties, white streaked Sicilians, round, green-skinned, tiny Thais, and sweet, skinny Japanese eggplant with assorted skin colors of pur-

ple, lavender, pink, green and white. Pick a Winner The smaller, more immature nightshades tend to be sweeter than the behemoth ones since they have fewer bitter seeds. Of course, avoid eggplants with soft spots or indentations that are signs of over ripeness. You can do the knock-knock test to check for dryness inside. If it echoes, discard it.

My Family’s Favorite Eggplant Parmigiana Serves 6 Ingredients 2 medium-sized eggplants (purple American) 4 eggs, beaten 12 ounces Italian seasoned breadcrumbs Canola and olive oil for frying 28 ounces chopped tomatoes 2 tablespoons olive oil for the sauce 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon honey Cayenne pepper and sea salt to taste 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a heavy skillet, heat on medium a mixture of oils 1/4-inch deep. Leaving the skin on the eggplant, make elongated slices about 1/4-inch thick. Dip eggplant slices first into the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs. Fry

until golden brown, turning only once. Drain on paper towel. For the sauce, sauté chopped garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add tomatoes, honey, herbs and spices. Simmer 10 minutes. Layer eggplant slices in a rectangular ovenproof dish, topping each layer with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbling. Serve immediately. Cook’s Tip: Salting eggplant will reduce the amount of oil absorbed in cooking. For additional eggplant recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.

Apple and Google to Enter Healthcare Industry Apple and Google, two of the tech world’s biggest players, both announced recently that they plan to move into the health care industry. Due to spiraling health care costs and new incentives from the Affordable Care Act to move medicine toward interconnected electronic communications, the health care data market is booming. And while the move might not be an easy one, it seems clear that the new future of healthcare is just around the corner. Apple announced in June that it was

working with the Mayo Clinic and software vendor Epic Systems – which makes applications for hospital and practice managements as well as electronic healthcare records – to make consumer health sensor readings and data from iPhones and iPads available to them. They have also been talking with health care organizations about the possibility of using the company’s HealthKit services. Google also plans to enter what figures to be a very competitive race to dominate the future of the healthcare business. They recently unveiled a health care app development kit which will help software developers create a range of digital medical tools. Additionally, upgrades to the Android would help companies integrate the use of sensors, data recording, and health care history to provide mobile apps that could tie into the healthcare system. One of the biggest driving forces behind this tech push is the issue of effectively

exchanging information. Until recently, the healthcare industry has been functioning on an antiquated manual system that is often slow and ineffective. But this is becoming even more of a critical issue considering how many health care providers a patient typically has to deal with (initial diagnosis, testing, hospitalization, surgery, long-term treatment, etc). Despite the great need in the industry and these tech giants’ willingness to provide solutions, the transition will not be an easy one. The U.S. medical system is fraught with rules and regulations. Companies must comply with a wide range of government agencies, including the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Food and Drug Administration, Medicare, and various other state and federal organizations. The Department of Health and Human Services have proven to impose large fines on providers with data breaches or that otherwise fail to secure patient records. And while Apple

and Google can handle the fines, they risk much more with reputation if their equipment is linked to large-scale problems with keeping patient data confidential. Although both companies have reasonably good records with securing customer information, both have also been subject to hacking and/or outages with their “cloud” services, either of which could be disastrous within the medical record industry. So as Apple and Google gear up to enter this rapidly growing but highly complicated sector, one can’t help but wonder how long it is until we have an app on our iPad that holds all of our medical records or that even takes our vitals and sends them to our doctor. At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center we take care to be at the forefront of the newest technology. If you would like to discuss the future of health care further or have any other questions about skilled nursing and rehabilitation, please don’t hesitate to contact us at http://encinitasnursingandrehab. com or call us at (760) 753-6423.

Local Czech and Slovak community commemorates 25th anniversary of Velvet Revolution with fine arts exhibit Twenty-five years ago, Marketa Hancova stood in Prague’s Wenceslas Square with about a million fellow Czechoslovakians demanding their freedom from communist rule. Today the Velvet Revolutionary, now a San Diego college instructor, is celebrating that freedom by organizing the first-ever local fine arts exhibition featuring Czech and Slovak artists. Opening Sept. 20, the exhibit features 72 pieces, including painting, photography, embroidery and painted objects, created by 16 native Czech and Slovak artists who live in San Diego. The free Opening Night festivities will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Lyceum Theatre at Horton Plaza (79 Broadway Cir, San Diego, CA 92101). The art will remain on display through Oct. 12. The free celebration will include music by local Czech bluegrass group, the Poe Street Band, folk dancing and traditional homemade appetizers and desserts.
