Horsepark part of Coast to Crest Trail is now open

Whole Foods opening Feb. 27 concludes Flower Hill overhaul

portion of the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail opened on Jan. 12, completing a two-and-a-half-mile stretch of trail that begins at Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The new half-mile of trail is just one part of the planned 55-mile Coast to Crest trail from Del Mar to Julian and is open to walkers, bikers and equestri-ans.

“We’ve been working on it for a while and we were finally able to make the connection between the lagoon trail and this por-tion,” said Dante Lee, a San Dieguito River Park ranger. “It’s a fantastic view of the river and when the tide

After more than a year of construction, the mall serving the Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach areas is winding down the biggest project the proper-ty has seen since its initial construction nearly 40 years ago — and the overhaul will

culminate with the opening of upscale grocer Whole Foods, the mall’s “anchor,” said owner Jeffrey Essakow.

agencies held their first pub-lic meeting on Jan. 22 re-garding a $100 million proj-ect that will add about a mile of new rail track through Del Mar and Solana Beach, replace the wooden trestle bridge over the San Dieguito River east of Dog Beach, and add a special events platform there that will allow direct train service to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for special events.

The meeting, held at Del Mar Hills Academy, was part of the California Envi-ronmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirement to do

an initial public scoping be-fore preliminary design and environmental review, a process for which the Cali-fornia Department of Trans-portation (Caltrans) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) have secured nearly $10 mil-lion from local TransNet taxes and Federal Railroad Administration funds desig-nated for rail improvements.

SANDAG Chairman Jack Dale said the project will benefit the community by increasing access to the fairgrounds while taking traffic off the streets, but it will be a long process, with

BY JOE TASHAn agreement between the City

of San Diego and the Grand Del Mar Resort in Carmel Valley is intended to settle violations of city land use and development rules by the resort dat-ing back a decade.

The agreement was finalized on Jan. 8, four days after the city filed a lawsuit seeking to force the resort to comply with city regulations for a

number of unauthorized develop-ments on the resort property, includ-ing expansion of the resort’s golf course, equestrian trails, an equestrian stable, parking lots, a nightclub and a concrete pad for landing helicopters.

According to the city’s lawsuit, all of the improvements were done with-out obtaining city permits. City in-spectors also determined that some of the resort’s grading and construction

activity “impacted wetlands, steep hillsides, open space areas, mitigation areas, property containing potential historic resources and removed sensi-tive biological resources.”

The $300 million resort at 5300 Grand Del Mar Way is owned by de-veloper Doug Manchester, who also owns the U-T San Diego and North

BY KAREN BILLING Developers Coast Income Properties is

anxious to get moving on the Pacific High-lands Ranch Village Center after its revised plans were unanimously approved by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board at a special meeting on Feb. 17.

“The number one thing I hear from res-idents is they want a village center tomor-row or yesterday, they want it done,” said Manjeet Ranu, the PHR representative on the planning board. “This project is more pedestrian-oriented, they’ve responded to the comments of the community, it’s beauti-ful and better than what was approved…Let’s get this project moving forward.”

Ranu made the motion to recommend approval of the project and encourage the city to issue permits “as expeditiously as possible.”

“We want the community of PHR to have this center,” Chair Frisco White said. “The village center is a catalyst for PHR to become a community able to support them-selves.”

Tom Blake, founder and president of Coast Income, said they are very excited about the project and pleased with how the design has turned out.

Once going through the city approval process, which they plan to begin right away, it is the hope they would begin con-struction in December 2013, with tenants opening their doors by the first or second quarter of 2015.

Changes in the PHR Village plan from the 2010-approved project include the elim-ination of the movie theater, a specialty market and drug store instead of a full-ser-

vice grocery store and an enhanced open space area. In response to community and planning board concerns about six-story res-idential buildings, the developers have low-ered the heights to five stories.

The site will feature 155,000 square feet of retail with a mix of shops and restaurants that create “energy and excitement,” a unique plaza gathering space, wide side-walks and 325 residential units.

There will also be a large green area that will have community gardens, a bocce ball court, a playground, a meandering trail with passive seating spaces, a terraced lawn with seating walls and a private dog park for resi-dents.

A temporary public dog park is being considered for the area of the site reserved for a future city library. The city has yet to purchase the land.

Village Center Loop Road, which cur-rently dead-ends, will in the future loop out to Carmel Valley Road in line with Zinnia Hills Place.

The biggest issue of contention was the grocery store element, which Ranu said the board went into a bit of “analysis paralysis” debating full size versus specialty market.

Board member Victor Manoushakian said the smaller store would not support the community at large and could create “a hav-oc on the roads” by sending PHR residents to Carmel Valley.

“People have to eat and that’s the most important thing,” said board member Hollie Kahn. “Our grocery stores (in Carmel Valley) have been impacted for 17 years and special-ty stores don’t cut it.”

CV Planning Board approves revised plans for Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center

BY KAREN BILLINGThe Carmel Valley Community Planning Board is considering the city’s option to

change the posted speed limit on Carmel Park Drive, between Worsch Drive and Del Mar Trails Road.

California Vehicle Code requires surveys of public streets every seven years which con-cluded that the posted limit be increased from 25 mph to 30 mph. If the limit is raised to 30 mph, the city will be able to implement speed radar and traffic calming measures.

The planning board can opt to support the limit remaining at 25 mph or being in-creased to 30 mph.

Planning board member Chris Moore was concerned about raising the speed limit so close to a school (Carmel Del Mar) where children will be crossing the street. He also wanted to ensure that there is adequate dialogue with the school to find out what its preferences are.

The board decided to delay its decision on the speed limit until they get feedback from the school.

Carmel Park Drive could see increased speed limit

Ross Dress For Less closes in Solana BeachBY CLAIRE HARLIN

Ross Dress For Less, the discount retail store located in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza shop-ping center in Solana Beach, closed its doors permanently after Sunday shoppers left on Jan. 20. The store’s lease for the space at 961 Lomas Santa Fe expired and the retailer opted to va-cate, said Monica Jones, a spokesperson for shopping center operator American Assets Trust, Inc. She said the real estate company looks forward to announcing a new retail tenant soon, with an anticipated late fall opening.

of two city-marked trucks and thousands of dollars in equipment from a City of Del Mar public works yard, Encinitas Sheriff detective Mike Casey said.

Casey said the incident took place between the evening of Jan. 9 and 5:55 a.m. on Jan. 10, when city employees arrived to find the front gate of the public works yard, located at 2240 Jimmy Durante. He said the lock had been broken off, and the loss totaled about $83,000.

Escondido Police, who have not returned phone calls, are handling the investigation, Casey said. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

BY JOE TASHWhen three local residents traveled overseas together in

December, it wasn’t a typical holiday excursion. Richard Rovsek and Gary and Maggie Bobileff spent

more than a week in Afghanistan, visiting with troops and handing out gifts. They even brought Santa Claus with them, decked out in a special camouflage suit with white fur trim.

“We (went) there to bring the magic and spirit of Christmas to the troops,” said Rovsek, who arranged the trip through his nonprofit organization, the Spirit of Liberty Foundation.

“It’s a piece of Americana you’re bringing to them,” said Gary Bobileff.

“If you see all these soldiers, they really go through tough times,” said Maggie Bobileff. “When they see Santa, it really breaks your heart.”

The trio were joined by two other friends, Carmen Ios-ue of Chicago and Larry Boswell of South Carolina, also known as Santa Claus. Gary Bobileff owns a Ferrari and Lamborghini sales, service and restoration dealership in San Diego, and Maggie Bobileff owns two Encinitas clothing stores. Rovsek is retired from running his own marketing and public relations firm.

While this was the first time Rovsek’s foundation ar-ranged a trip to Afghanistan, Bobileff and Rovsek went to Iraq two years ago. The foundation has sponsored holiday events at military hospitals and bases in the U.S., along with a variety of other programs for troops and their families.

Due to ongoing hostilities in Afghanistan, this trip had more of an edge to it. Whenever the group ventured out-side the gates of a U.S. military base, the visitors had to wear military helmets and bullet-proof vests and travel in ar-mored vehicles. In all, they visited three different bases in the vicinity of Kabul, the Afghan capital.

Several days before they arrived, Gary Bobileff said, one of their military drivers was fired upon by snipers.

“We were in a war zone,” said Rovsek.“I was more scared when we planned the trip,” said

Maggie Bobileff. “When we were there, we felt very secure.”The group flew first to Dubai, then on to Kabul, where

military escorts met them. No luxury accommodations awaited the visitors; they slept in barracks, dined in the base mess hall and used the communal shower facilities.

“It was real, true, honest to God military life, no frills, no luxury,” said Gary Bobileff.During their stay, the group visited the mess halls of the three bases at various times, al-

lowing service men and women to pose for photos with Santa, and handing out gifts, some of which were donated and some provided by the group themselves.

The gifts included electronics such as I-pads, certificates for free sets of times and dis-counts on autos for use by the service members or their families, and hand-written notes from members of Congress, governors and even the two former Presidents Bush.

In spite of the warmth they felt from bringing good cheer to the troops, the visitors found Afghanistan itself less than charming. The weather was cold, and the surroundings outside the bases were dirty, run-down and polluted.

Rovsek noted that Ka-bul was once a beautiful city full of trees and parks, but five decades of war have left it decimated and barren.

“It’s a cruel place,” said Rovsek, with a population that is barely literate, and a landscape littered with wrecked and abandoned military equipment and piles of garbage.

In the midst of winter, the mountain peaks sur-rounding the city were capped with snow, and flur-ries fell on the day the group left.

Rovsek said he would happily return in spite of the bleak conditions.

“I would go back to-morrow if it would help brighten the lives of the men and women in the armed forces,” he said.

Maggie Bobileff said she also would return, and next time, she would like to bring personal messages from fam-ily members of Camp Pend-leton troops.

“That is what I would like to do, they would be very happy about that,” she said.

BY KAREN BILLINGLa Jolla-based business Takeda Califor-

nia had over 140 volunteers plant 1,000 trees in the Del Dios Gorge on Jan. 21. The Great Del Dios Planting Day was a joint ef-fort by the San Dieguito River Valley Conser-vancy and the San Dieguito River Park, re-plenishing an area once inhabited by non-native eucalyptus. Takeda California is a company that generates potential new med-icines for treating cancer, inflammatory dis-eases and metabolic diseases.

“Each and every day we try our best to make an impact or make life better for the patients, to treat their disease,” said Mathias Schmidt, vice president of biological science at Takeda. “This exercise is very similar to our daily work, digging hard to make an im-pact that we’ll maybe see, at the earliest, 10 years…It’s so inspiring to me. In all honesty not all the trees we plant today will survive just like some of our ideas for drugs. Only the strong ones come through and those are the ones that really make an impact.”

The tree planting is the second part of the Del Dios Gorge Restoration Project.

According to David O’Connor, conser-vation manager with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, the project is funded through the California Natural Resources Agency’s River Parkways program and seeks to enhance the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail and restore the San Die-guito River in the gorge below Lake Hodges Dam.

Because of the difficult terrain, eucalyp-tus trees have been removed using helicop-ters and other large vehicles over the last few years.

O’Connor said that while people may like the look of them, the eucalyptus trees are not native and create an “empty forest” – the trees can’t be used for food or shelter by native animals, its oils suppress the growth of other plants and the trees are in-credibly fire-prone.

“They literally explode when they catch

fire,” O’Connor said.Their removal improves fire safety

through the gorge, a primary traffic and evacuation route.

Holes were drilled in the rocky terrain in advance to make it possible for 1,000 trees to be put into the earth in one morn-ing. Many Takeda employees brought along family members and there were lots of chil-dren who woke up early to work — even on their day off of school.

“She was up and ready to come,” said Deepika Balakrishna of her daughter Nihari-ka. “It’s a great day to get the kids out and get closer to nature.”

Younger children also had an opportu-nity to go on a guided hike.

The volunteers worked in teams; each planting a different type of plant to mimic the natural environment and restore what was there before. Teams planted willow, cot-tonwood, sycamore and coast live oak trees, as well as shrubs such as lemonade berry and California blackberry.

These riparian plants are loved by in-sects, mammals and birds allowing the habi-tat to live, thrive and be sustainable, O’Connor said.

“It’s amazing for them to have the ex-perience of being out here and really being a part of it,” said Leana Bulay, river park inter-pretive ranger. “It helps give them a better appreciation for the park and the environ-ment as a whole,”

It was Takeda’s hope that the event will inspire other companies to see value in de-creasing their environmental footprint and take action.

“I’m really proud of Takeda’s strong em-phasis on corporate responsibility, the effort to serve our community in many different ways,” Schmidt said.

comes in you can see a lot of birds and ducks. This is one of the most interesting views of the river that you get on this side.”

The delay in getting the trail linkage was mostly per-mitting issues and having to coordinate with various agencies. Once all of that work was done, the river park was able to get to work over the last six months building the trail, installing fences and regulatory signs.

The project was funded by a State Environmental En-hancement Mitigation Pro-gram grant and was able to be completed thanks to co-operation by the 22nd Dis-trict Agricultural Association and Del Mar Horsepark, which allowed the trail to be placed alongside the proper-ty despite the impacts to its operations.

The trail begins just past the Horsepark entrance on El Camino Real and traverses past the San Dieguito Lagoon restoration project on the Salt Marsh Bird Trail and Lagoon

Trail and over the Boardwalk Trail to Jimmy Durante.

Mile markers are in-stalled at every half-mile and there are benches and picnic tables along the new route, placed by local Boy Scouts.

There are three bridges on the new portion of the trail, built using reclaimed wood from other parts of the river park that were burned during the Witch Creek fire. The bridges were salvaged and kept until they could be used in another area of the park.

Lee said another one of their challenges in the area

was invasive plant manage-ment and in completing the trail they also did an invasive eucalyptus tree removal. Lee said they want more riparian plants in the area like mule fat, willows and oaks — vol-unteers helped to remove in-vasive species, do replanting work as well as help build the trail.

“The river park relies heavily on volunteers, they call themselves the Dust Devils and they really help out the rangers,” said Lee. “There’s only seven rangers, a very small staff, so to do all this work we really rely on

these volunteers.”At the end of the

Horsepark portion of the trail is a sign that reads that the Coast to Crest trail stops at that point and, for now, the river park’s work in the area is complete.

River park personnel are awaiting the process to wid-en El Camino Real because when that expansion goes through they will lobby to have an undercrossing under the new El Camino Real bridge to continue the Coast to Crest to the trial alongside the polo field.

“That’s our best goal,” Lee said.

The Lagoon Trail por-tion of the Coast to Crest Trail also has a self-guided in-terpretive walk that begins at the entry monument on Jim-my Durante. Trail users can scan QR codes on placed in-teractive signs with their smart phones to listen or read content about the area. The app also contains park information, plant and ani-mal identification tools and trail maps. Funding for the program was provided by grants from SDG&E and REI. Visit www.sdrp.org.

County Times newspapers. The 249-room resort opened in October 2007, and has earned prestigious five-star ratings for its hotel, spa and signature restau-rant.

Under the agreement, which was signed by Deputy City Attorney Danna W. Nicholas, Manchester and two other resort representa-tives, the resort will begin processing applications for permits for all of its unau-thorized developments, which will include presenta-tions before the Carmel Val-ley and Del Mar Mesa com-munity planning groups.

The resort also has agreed not to use the heli-pad, horse trails, equestrian center and horse corrals un-til the proper permits are ob-tained. In addition, the re-sort will pay the city investi-gative costs of $12,456 and civil penalties of $75,000.

The agreement states that additional civil penal-ties of $600,000 will be “stayed pending successful and timely compliance with the terms and conditions of this stipulation.” If the re-sort fails to comply with any of the terms of the agreement, the document states, the resort will pay penalties of $2,500 per day that violations occur.

Another provision of the agreement requires the resort to complete 150

hours of community volun-teer work for a charity or nonprofit.

Members of the local planning groups, which ad-vise the San Diego City Council on land-use issues, praised the settlement, but questioned why the resort was allowed to break the city’s development rules for so long.

“We are upset. We feel the rules aren’t being ap-plied fairly to everyone in that some people feel may-be they don’t have to go through the normal process everyone else does. We are relieved to see the city is ad-dressing this in a serious way, and looking forward to taking part in process and getting the violations recti-fied,” said Gary Levitt, chairman of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Group.

Anne Harvey, a mem-ber of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group, who also sat on the Del Mar Mesa board in the past, said the original own-ers of the resort promised to build the golf course in a way that protected sensitive habitat areas and main-tained wildlife corridors.

Those promises con-vinced the community groups to support the pro-posed resort when it went before city voters, Harvey said. But after voters ap-

proved the resort, she said, the golf course was expand-ed into sensitive habitat ar-eas.

“Then they made liars out of us,” she said.

The city and the resort reached a settlement on the original golf course land-use violations which included a $250,000 payment to go to-ward improvement of trails in Carmel Valley and Del Mar Mesa, Harvey said. But the settlement was never fi-nalized, and later the resort property changed hands several times before it was purchased by Manchester.

Perry Dealy, a resort consultant who also worked for the resort when it was constructed, said the Grand Del Mar has already submit-ted plans for bringing the entire property into compli-ance with city codes, and the application is under re-view by the city.

“We’ve just entered into the agreement, we’re looking forward not back-wards. We’ve all agreed to a timeline and to go through a public process to get these approvals.” Dealy said.

While the process will involve planning group pre-sentations, he was not sure if the application will go be-fore the San Diego City Council or Planning Com-mission.

The resort has commit-ted to obtain permits for all

future developments, al-though he said there are no current plans for resort ex-pansion beyond obtaining approvals for the work al-ready completed.

Among the allegations in the city’s lawsuit are that the resort conducted unau-thorized grading, did plumbing and electrical work without proper per-mits, constructed a night-club that operated without required police/vice permits or alcohol permit, and built the helipad in violation of state, city and Federal Avia-tion Administration regula-tions.

Responding to criticism that the resort did not fol-low development rules, Dealy said, “I don’t think anything was done inten-tionally or out of context of the original intent of build-ing a world-class resort.”

Very few resorts achieve 15 stars for their facilities, he said. “There’s only a couple in the United States that have that designation. And it draws people from all over the world. It’s great for the community and great for the region to have a devel-opment of that character.

“We’re motivated like the community is to get all of this resolved amicably going forward and to work with the city in a positive spirit of cooperation,” he said.

Blake said people’s shopping habits are chang-ing and people increasingly shop for groceries at places like Costco or Target, with side trips to specialty stores. Due to those changes, he’s concerned about a large market like Vons or Ralphs as the anchor store 10 to 15 years in the future; he wants to ensure he’s creating a via-ble center.

Despite several board members’ opinions, an in-formal survey done by PHR resident Karen Dubey re-flected that of the 70 people surveyed, 83 percent said they wanted a specialty gro-cery store.

One resident in atten-dance said she was excited about the specialty market because in her mind the large grocery stores are inter-changeable—this one would offer something unique.

“To belabor the grocery store point is detrimental to the future of the project,” Ranu said. “We have an op-portunity to get this beauti-ful village center done…The idea that traffic from Pacific Highlands Ranch will over-whelm Carmel Valley is un-founded.”

Blake said the specialty market will be “more than just a Trader Joe’s” and can

be a full-service type store. He mentioned, as an exam-ple, The Fresh Market, an East Coast concept that has started to come west with one store in Roseville out-side Sacramento and leases signed in Santa Barbara, Palo Alto and Laguna Hills.

Blake said he has had discussions with one such market that expressed inter-est in the site and if the store came to the center, his company would have the to option to boost the market up to 25,000 square feet and make the drug store a little smaller.

The board also placed conditions on the project’s gathering plaza, an area planned to have tables, lounging furniture and wa-ter features. The board had some safety concerns about the plaza being located in the center of a one-way loop road that accesses the park-ing garage.

Dubey expressed wor-ries that because of the zero curbs of the plaza, children might not know they were stepping into a road.

Blake said there will be a raised edge with a wall sur-rounding the plaza so it will be marked where the plaza ends and the road begins.

Dubey said she also felt the five-story building heights, although lowered from six, was still too high for the community.

Carmel Del Mar father-daughter dance looking for previous CDM grads and dads

BY KAREN BILLINGCarmel Del Mar School Dad’s Club is welcoming alumni and their fathers to its 10th

annual father-daughter dance, to be held on March 10 at the Del Mar Marriott. Darryl Gordon, now in his sixth year of planning the dance, wanted to do something

cool to commemorate the 10th year of the event and thought bringing the whole commu-nity of CDM past and present together would be make the event extra special.

“We’re on a mission to find all of our graduates and their dads,” Gordon said.Gordon said every year he fields requests to make the dance longer and while they

can’t because it’s a school night, this year the event will start earlier at 4:45 p.m. with a pool-side reception.

The reception will feature appetizers and a special, nonalcoholic pink “signature drink” for the young ladies called “The Dragon” after their school mascot. The girls and dads will then head into the ballroom for dancing and music provided DJ Rob, fun activi-ties and prizes.

“My biggest wish is that all eight schools in the district would do the dance,” said Gor-don, noting Del Mar Hills and Torrey Hills hold dances. “It’s such an amazing bonding event and it creates memories for a lifetime.”

Registration is online at dmusd.org/cdm. For more information, contact Darryl Gor-don at [email protected].

Del Mar Foundation to present free educational seminar ‘Who’s Managing Your Money?’

BY JAYNE HAINESThe Del Mar Foundation recently elected new board mem-

ber Donna Shaw. Shaw has lived in Del Mar for almost 16 years, after being born and raised in Chicago, and living in Summit, New Jersey for two years.

Shaw brings with her an extensive background in life sci-ences, and has worked in the licensing and technology transfer department at UCSD for the past 10 years. Shaw not only holds a MS and PhD in microbiology/immunology, she earned a para-legal degree and is also a Certified Licensing Professional.

Outside of work, Shaw makes beaded jewelry, teaches Pi-lates and is also a Spinning and R.I.P.P.E.D. instructor. Shaw also has one son, David, who attended La Jolla Country Day School and now, at age 24, lives in Carpentaria, Calif.

A love for Del Mar is the primary reason why Shaw has stepped up to the plate as a DMF board member. As she says with a smile, “The unique small town atmosphere drew me to live in Del Mar. I found it to be a city that was alive with inter-esting people who were welcoming and outgoing; a city with just the right amount of foot, bicycle and car traffic, filled with residents willing to organize events and beautify Del Mar for the benefit of the entire community.

“And, of course,” says Shaw who loves to get lost in mystery novels at the beach, “I love the proximity to the ocean!” Shaw said she feels that the Del Mar Foundation is such a worthwhile organization because it supports a wide variety of programs and areas, which benefit the entire Del, Mar community, from children’s programs, senior programs, cultural arts programs, open spaces and beaches. Plus, the DMF promotes opportunities for residents to submit applications for grants to support new and useful community programs.

In addition to her involvement with the DMF, Shaw is an active member of the Del Mar CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), and has completed the requirements for the California Disaster Corps. She has been a member of the Del Mar Foundation Cultural Arts Committee (CAC) as its secretary, and recently became chair of the CAC.

As the newest member of the DMF board, Shaw hopes to bring her enthusiasm and love of Del Mar to the ongoing and upcoming programs supported by the DMF.

The Torrey Pines High School Spring Auction Committee is pumping up efforts to ob-tain auction items for the annual “Pump Up the Volume” fundraiser to be held at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on March 23 from 5- 8 p.m. Committee members are canvasing the community reaching out to individuals and businesses to secure donations for the annual auction which supports the TPHS Foundation’s Support All Students (SAS) fund. Proceeds will be used to purchase cutting edge computers and other technology equipment for use by students.

“We are looking for a wide array of fabulous, exciting, or useful items to auction at our online and live auctions,” said auction co-chair Connie Cannon. “No item is too big or too small or too exotic.”

According to Helen Nordan, auction co-chair, some exciting items are already coming in. “We have received a fighter pilot package, Invisalign braces, a fun beach “girls night” package, spa treatments, exercise memberships, and a week stay at homes in Sun Valley, Ida-ho and in New Zealand,” Nordan said. “But we are still looking for additional items to make our auction a huge success.”

This year marks the Foundation’s 20th anniversary. “This is an especially important year for our fundraiser,” says Bobbi Karlson, Founda-

tion director. “We are commemorating a milestone anniversary and have a lot to celebrate.” Staff is diligently tracking down the 29 founding members from 1993 to recognize them at the event. “There are many people who have contributed over the past 20 years to help im-prove the high school experience for each Torrey Pines High School student and we want to honor those who started it all,” Karlson added.

The kickoff event for the spring fundraiser is “Toast to Torrey” which will be held on Feb. 24 from 5- 7 p.m. at the Pacific Athletic Club. For reservations, to make a donation, or for more information on the auction or events, please visit www.torreypinesfoundation.org.

The Torrey Pines High School Foundation is a 501-C-3 corporation founded in 1993 which not only fundraises to provide state of the art technology and cutting edge programs to promote personal social growth, leadership and independence for all students, but also acts as the umbrella organization for parent volunteers and provides support for all booster groups on campus.

The Foundation is requesting assistance in locating many of its charter members and ask that they please contact the TPHS Foundation at 858-793-3551. They are: Jim Ashcraft, Judy Bartolotta, Ann Crosbie, Joyce Dalessandro, Jim Farley, Ellen Glynn, Diane Goldberger, Simeon Greenstein, Linda Grimes, Nancy McAdam, Mimi Miller, Jeff Nelson, Joan Neu-mann, Terry Paul, Audrey Phillips, Bill Potter, Shields Richardson, George Robinson, Susan Rumley, Elaine Shaw, Arkal Shenoy, Elaine Sinnock, Susan Stone, Susan Ulevitch, Sara Vance, Patricia Von Euw, Janis Werschkul, Christine Willems, and Reni Zivin.

BY ROB LEDONNEA couple of

years ago, Ken Gora woke up in the middle of the night with an idea running through his head. “At the time, the econo-my was very bad and there were a lot of talented people out there either not having work, or not hav-ing the jobs they deserve,” Gora re-members. “The idea was to put together a sales and market-ing contest that not only gets people jobs and makes them money, but supports small businesses as well, then film it.” That idea manifested itself into the local reality TV show “So You Think You Can Sell,” which Gora calls a cross be-tween “American Idol” and “The Apprentice,” and is pre-miering for the very first time on Tuesday, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m. on San Diego’s Channel Four, through both Cox and Time Warner Cable providers.

Gora, a Chicago native who runs Next Productions out of Carmel Valley, put his nose to the grindstone after that fist night with merely the basic idea in his head.

“My background is that I have a doctorate in psycholo-gy, and I’ve been a headhunter or recruiter for many years.” In the past, companies have hired Gora to “find them great talent and great people, primarily in the sales and manag-ing arena,” which naturally makes him a perfect fit to pro-duce a TV show that’s designed to do just that. “I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of the people I’ve inter-viewed over the years, like that of an Iraq war veteran who no one will give a job interview to but can lead a brigade of men into war.”

It’s those stories, about hard-working people with di-

Local production company to hold auditions for TV show ‘So You Think You Can Sell?’verse and interesting backgrounds who haven’t found their niche yet, which led Gora into creating a show that caters specifically to them. “So You Think You Can Sell” will air over eight episodes and, along with helping individual peo-ple, it’s also designed to aide local small businesses.

“Each installment will focus on a small business and how people deal with the challenges we give them,” says Gora. For example, one episode will feature Fit in 60, a workout studio based in both Carmel Valley and Carlsbad that contestants have to sell memberships for, and Smart Energy USA, a Vista company that offers solar energy solu-tions.

Gora and the show found themselves in a plum slot on San Diego’s Channel Four thanks to a connection to the channel’s Director of Programming. “He agreed to watch the first episode, and within the first 20 minutes he said, “I love this. It’s current, and it’s fun, and it’s going to help our economy.”

Each episode will be filmed and edited and broadcast within two weeks, an accomplishment in itself since many shows can be in production for months. Says Gora: “It’s meant to be a live, fluid contest. My vision is that there’s a way to make businesses money, give people jobs and pro-vide good entertainment.” The TV viewing audience can also be in on the fun: the fifth episode will be a viewer’s choice of which small business to feature.

As for what the winner receives, Gora says, “It’ll be a grand prize choice of either my company hiring them for a $100,000 position, or a $7,000 cash payout, depending on whether or not they want or need the job.” The first winner of “So You Think You Can Sell” was Kristen Baldwin, a 44 year-old single mom who chose the payout since she was offered a higher paying job from CUBA beverage, a business that was also featured on the show.

With all of the positive factors at play, it’s no wonder why Gora is excited about “So You Think You Can Sell.” Overall, he sums everything up simply: “The companies get sales revenue, people get jobs, and the economy is stimulat-ed.” What could be better than that?

“Best of”

Entrepreneurs, active-duty military team up in Battlefields and Boardrooms

Ben Kohlmann, Micha Mikhailian, Eric Basu. Photo by DPG Photography

BY JEANNE MCKINNEYSolutions were on the

minds of game-changing en-trepreneurs and active-duty military personnel who came together at Pacifica Del Mar Restaurant on Jan. 16 for the launch of a new program. Two companies, Gen Next and Disruptive Thinkers, launched their mission to bring civilian and military cultures together in a collaboration and ex-change of useful ideas that can affect growth and change in each environ-ment.

Ben Kohlmann, of Dis-ruptive Thinkers, is a Navy pilot based at MCAS Mira-mar flying with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT- 101), the Sharpshooters, as an instruc-tor pilot. The idea came about when he and a few ju-nior officer friends were try-ing to find ways to expand and leverage the ideas of young people in the mili-tary, who may be held back from advancement by a more traditional system. Disruptive Thinkers’ starting goal is to bring innovation and entrepreneurship to the military. An ultimate goal is to lessen the culture shock upon leaving active duty.

Kohlman said, “There’s a growing civil/military di-vide because our cultures are different — you need some bridge for that.” The dual mentorship of Battlefields and Boardrooms was born, a year-long program designed for pairs of people to meet

together six times, three in a group and three in alternat-ing work environments to share knowledge and take what is learned back to their job.

“If I can pull from other spheres of knowledge and practices of successful peo-ple, I can potentially do my job better as an officer.” He adds, “Let’s bring that into the military to help us with cultural change that can fundamentally transform the way we do business and make us a better [fighting] force.”

Kohlman wanted to match up his military com-

patriots with the high-quali-ty individuals at Gen Next, a company founded by Paul Makarechian, a successful and passionate entrepre-neur. Natalie Alvarez, direc-tor of Communications and Special Projects for Gen Next said, “Mr. Makarechian and some of his friends real-ized they had the vision and means to make a difference in a down-turned society, but were sitting on the side-lines, feeling less empow-ered.” They created a non-profit membership organiza-tion that focusses on eco-nomic growth, education re-form, and global security

with an intent to institute long-term change.

Beck Bamberger, public relations CEO of Bam Com-munications and new Gen Next member, provided her local services to set up the gathering. Blair Kohn, a re-gional director for Gen Next, kicked off the pro-gram, excited to introduce keynote speaker Eric Basu, CEO of Sentek Global and former Navy SEAL. “Eric re-ally exemplifies what Gen Next and Disruptive Think-ers is trying to accomplish,” Kohlmann said.

Basu, after leaving the military, got his MBA at

UCLA and founded his own company that provides cy-ber security and command and control systems for the Department of Defense. He loved being a SEAL and now he loves being an entrepre-neur, able to command and control his own life and pos-itively affect the lives of those he leads in the civilian sector.

He’s taken skills and tal-ents learned from his mili-tary career and implement-ed them into his company – running it like a special op-erations team. He pushes the drive to excellence he knows so well as a SEAL to his company employees.

“We’re not just here to fill bodies in seats or punch a clock for a salary. We heavily train the best people and send them out to help our clients, so ideally our clients can look back and say, ‘Sen-tek Global did far better than another competitor. They care and are here to make a difference,’” Basu said. This, he feels, can impact his in-dustry in important ways and provide a model others can learn from.

Basu said he feels a re-

sponsibility to help others transition from the military. “I think we have as a coun-try, a duty to the person who puts on a uniform and is willing to give up every-thing for a modest salary so we can live the life we do.” He went over an impressive list of strengths a former military member can bring to the civilian work place.

Micha Mikailian, a suc-cessful entrepreneur and Gen Next member was meeting his active-duty mentee for the first time. Mikailian wants to bring his strengths to him, “I want to work with my mentee and gain context on what he’s looking to do with his life in the military, so I can give him context (from the public sector) that’s going to have a posi-tive impact on his future. I also want to learn from him — to bring decision-making skills or disciplines he’s re-ceived through his experi-ence that relates to what I do in day- to-day life.”

and meeting spaces. Flower Hill Promenade has also undergone a complete facelift that blends the original building (constructed in 1977) with the new structures. A five-day grand opening, featuring food, fashion shows and music, will be held from Feb. 27 to March 3 at the mall, and Essakow said Whole Foods will be open on schedule, “rain, shine or hail.”

Mall operator Protea Properties had to fight to bring Whole Foods to the 30,000-square-foot space at west end of the 40-acre property, because the popular gro-cery chain generally builds stores totaling closer to 50,000 square feet. Essakow said he saw a successful smaller Whole Foods con-cept in downtown Philadelphia, and begged the company to scale down its plans for a Flower Hill location.

“We convinced them that it would be a great addition to the community,” said Essa-kow of the company’s eventual acquies-cence. “We seemed like a promising location and model.”

The Flower Hill renovation has been al-most a decade in the making, said Essakow.

“In 2003 we started working on a vi-sion,” he said. “We’ve struggled with the project.”

Protea Properties not only clashed with local homeowners associations along the way, it endured a lengthy dispute between the California Coastal Commission and the City of San Diego over who should have au-thority over the project, with the City of San Diego eventually gaining jurisdiction. Short-ly after the San Diego City Council’s approv-al of the renovation, a local citizens’ group in 2011 sued the city in an effort to overturn the decision, claiming the environmental impact report was inadequately vetted and the project was overscaled. Protea also scaled

back plans after taking criticism from local cities and planning boards.

“Out with the old and in with the new” has been the theme at Flower Hill over the past year, and it started with the nearly back-to-back closings of the former Ultrastar movie theater and Bookworks book store in 2011.

While Essakow said he has been sad to see tenants go, he has been charged with re-placing “dated” concepts with fresher ones.

He announced on Jan. 16 that the own-ers of the popular North Park restaurant Ur-ban Solace will be moving into the former Paradise Grille space next spring, and Cuci-na Enoteca, a sister eatery to the popular Cucina Urbana, will fill the spot of the for-mer Chevy’s Fresh Mex restaurant, which served the community for 20 years before it closed last October. Chipotle recently opened to take the place of Pick Up Stix, Burger Lounge will open this month, and boutique bakery Nothing Bundt Cakes took over a former hair salon spot last year. Even the adjacent gas station received a new fa-cade to tie in with the architecture.

“The combination of new retail, new restaurants and an anchor store, Whole Foods, is key,” Essakow said.

Many consider Helen Woodward Animal Center staff-ers heroic in their constant quest to save orphaned pets, but one very unique 2-year-old Maltipoo has the staffers in awe of her heroic efforts to save her newly-adopted sister. She did what some may consider impossible – the tiny dog took on a coyote to protect the 7-month old puppy she had only just come to know.

The East County family who acquired Sophie in June of 2011, say she was an undeniably cuddly pup with the personality of a teddy bear. With no signs of aggression, Sophie lived the life of a pampered pet for over a year when her family decided to bring another Maltipoo pup, named Lulu, into their household. The two bonded fairly quickly and lived together for several months when the unthink-able happened… As the two dogs went running out to play on their large backyard property, a coyote stepped out of the brush and went for the younger puppy. Sophie’s family said that they heard a cry and ran out to see Sophie step in front of her sister and take on the coyote herself. The family was able to scare the coyote away, but not be-fore Sophie suffered surface wounds to her neck, right shoulder and side. Lulu remained unharmed, just as So-phie had hoped.

Sophie’s family took her to a local veterinarian where she was stitched up and put on antibiotics. Sophie’s family, however, had a different sort of pain to deal with. Due to the rural location of their east San Diego property, Sophie’s family feared that they would not be able to protect their

vulnerable dogs from the hungry search of local wildlife. With heavy hearts, Sophie and Lulu were surrendered to Helen Woodward Animal Center last Saturday, Jan. 12. Happily, within only a matter of days, Lulu was adopted by

a family who lived in a more residential area and was happy to give her a second chance in a forever home.

The heroic Sophie still has more healing to do and is now thriving under Center veterinary care where she is be-ing closely monitored. She will be available for adoption at Helen Woodward Animal Center in approximately two weeks. If you would like to adopt Sophie, contact Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Department at: 858-756-4117 ext. 313, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Do not endanger inspiring AP Physics C classEditor’s Note: The following letter was writ-

ten to members of the College Board and sub-mitted to this newspaper for publication.

To whom it may concern,My name is Dustin Inada, and I am an

inspired and passionate freshman physics major enrolled in University of California Santa Barbara’s College of Creative Studies. Last year I graduated from Torrey Pines High School, where I had the privilege of taking AP Physics B in my junior year and AP Phys-ics C in my senior year. Last spring, after be-ing accepted into UCSB, I received a phone call from one of the professors inviting me into the College of Creative Studies (CCS), a more select, more prestigious program than the honors program in UCSB’s College of Letters and Sciences. The professor had looked at the applicants with an intended physics major and personally called the ones she wished to invite to apply to the CCS program. I believe that my enrollment in AP Physics C, set my application apart from the hundreds of others. Not only did AP Physics C show me the beauty of physics and in-spire me to major in it, but it also set my ap-plication apart from others and gave me an amazing opportunity I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I am writing this letter to urge the College Board not to split AP Physics B into two courses so that stu-dents can continue taking AP Physics C in high school without having to overcome ad-ditional obstacles. By splitting AP Physics B into two courses, it will essentially make AP Physics C, an already intimidating class, un-reachable by most students.

If AP Physics B is split into two courses, students will have to decide before their sophomore year — and before they have studied any high school physics — that AP Physics C is a course they want to take in their senior year. This would be extremely difficult for almost any student. The majori-ty of freshmen do not have their whole high school career planned out and taking two challenging science courses in one year would be almost impossible, especially with the other challenging courses that students take. Schools will only offer AP Physics C if there are enough students who plan to take the course. Thus, not only does splitting AP Physics B make it harder for students to take AP Physics C, but also schools are likely to eliminate the course altogether.

According to David Baltimore, the pres-ident of the California Institute of Technolo-gy, “Science is the driver behind our econo-my. It always has been, and that’s true now more than ever.” The United States is lag-ging behind the rest of the world in math and science in pretty substantial ways, ac-cording to Education Secretary Arne Dun-can, so why would an organization fighting to “help people achieve higher levels of edu-cation” strip America of a remarkable sci-ence class that has given me as well and many other students the highest level of physics currently offered in high school?

AP Physics C ties together calculus with real life concepts, something that sets this course apart from any other high school course. After seeing how the derivative of a velocity function would produce the acceler-

Tonight Kilroy will present a modestly scaled down ver-sion of its One Paseo project at the Canyon Crest Academy Auditorium at 7 p.m. While most of us favor the project concept, Kilroy will continue to press for what is a tripling in its approved scale even after the recent down-sizing. In doing so they’ll tout a number of benefits that deserve seri-ous consideration by all of us:

1. Economic Benefits. The 1,590 more permanent jobs One Paseo promises sounds good, until you learn that 75 percent of those would be provided by just the office build-ings they are currently allowed. So for maybe 400 more mostly low-paying retail and service jobs we’re being asked to let them more than triple the project size and add four times the traffic to the middle of our community. Is that fair? Do we really want to trade our “island” for a few beads?

2. More Economic Benefits. $10 million in new fees to local schools should be a windfall, so why isn’t the school district cheering? Because they estimate a $17 million facili-ty cost — plus land cost — to accommodate the expected in-crease in enrollment from One Paseo’s proposed residential addition, with no clear funding source for the shortfall. So the developer would be increasing our shopping choices at the expense of our kids’ education — is that our communi-ty’s goal?

3. Neighborhood Character. What don’t the develop-er’s idyllic renderings show? First, the “reduced” One Paseo still has office and residential buildings rising to twice the height of similar buildings in the vicinity, and sited only half as far from our streets as those along La Jolla Village Drive. And all those mature trees along both our main streets? They’ll be removed and replaced with much smaller trees to accommodate the minimal building setbacks. Giv-ing up our foliage for steel and concrete — is that a good trade-off? Should we all pull out our own landscaping so we can fit in with the “new” Carmel Valley?

4. Traffic Light Synchronization. A ruse, a non-starter. It’s been demonstrated in San Marcos that such a program is increasingly ineffective as the number of cars trying to enter a road approaches its carrying capacity. When One Paseo’s neighbors build their already-approved projects or additions, just that additional traffic will drive Del Mar Heights Road well over its carrying capacity. The result? Imagine 30 to 60 minute increases in rush hour commute times. And on top of that overload Kilroy insists on adding a 200 percent in-crease in One Paseo? That’s putting the community first, right?

5. The Trojan Horse. Or beware of developers bearing gifts. A Trader Joe’s store is approximately 13,000 square feet. But the developer is telling us that to get this “prize” we have to also accept over 200,000 square feet of additional retail space (roughly another Del Mar Highlands) plus 600 residential units. Half of each of those additions might be reasonable in exchange for part of their office approval. Since the zoning allows them to convert up to 75,000 square feet of office building to restaurant and retail uses like Trader Joe’s, why has the developer not offered even this small to-ken? C’mon guys, do you want to enhance the community or overwhelm it — how much profit do you need to make on one deal?

Please join us and bring your neighbors to this very im-portant meeting, tonight, Thursday at 7 p.m., at the CCA Auditorium at 5951 Village Center Loop Road. Our commu-nity and its Planning Board need your support.

Robert Freund

Five things about One Paseo the developer doesn’t want you to consider

I have been rather disappointed with the news reporting on the proposed One Paseo project, again so in last week’s issue. The press release statements made by the de-veloper Kilroy are presented as established fact without apparently any fact checking and without giving the strong community opposition to this project a voice.

Had some fact checking been done, it would have revealed, among many other things, that:

1. The reduction in the project’s revised version is only 21 percent — from the 1,857,400 square feet listed in the DEIR to 1,454,069 square feet stated in the develop-er’s plans, (not the 30 percent reduction from 2,000,000 square feet to 1,400,00 square feet as stated on their web site), still almost three times the 510,000 square feet allowed under the community plan. How-ever, the important fact is that the reduc-tion in traffic generated by the project would only be around 10 percent less than with the original One Paseo plan;

2. The revised project would increase traffic on Del Mar Heights Road by more than 23,000 car trips per day. This would re-sult in substantial increases in rush hour commute times to work and school, in di-minishing emergency vehicle response time in peak periods and in causing spill over onto local streets;

3. There would be two new traffic sig-nals on Del Mar Heights Road between High Bluff Drive and El Camino Real. A traffic light synchronization program cannot move traffic more efficiently when traffic is stopped because the number of entering cars exceeds the road’s capacity or freeway ramp metering causes cars to back up onto the street. Additionally, while no dirt would

have to be removed if the developer com-plied with the community plan, this project would require the hauling away of 45,000 truckloads of dirt, or 30 truckloads an hour, 10 hours a day for 150 work days;

4. Kilroy’s “reduced” plans show that office buildings along El Camino Real will still soar 155’ to 165’ above street level, equivalent to 11 story office buildings, and are set back only 45’ to 55’ from the street. By contrast, the tallest office building in CV is eight stories and is set back 130’ from El Camino Real. Further, all the mature trees along Del Mar Heights Road would have to be demolished and replaced by small trees to accommodate the enormous increase in building area;

5. Current zoning for this site with a minor variance would allow approximately 60,000 square feet of restaurants and other retail shops to be built, including a Trader Joe’s, (which comprises only 1 percent of the “reduced” project).

In short, Kilroy’s token reduction and promise of a Trader Joe’s can never justify an almost one million square feet increase in building entitlements resulting, as described in the DEIR, in significant unmitigated im-pacts on traffic and community character.

Mr. Conkwright’s open letter published in the last Del Mar Times quoted Director Garcia stating “As such, the Pilot Program expired on April 19, 2012 and was not extended or reinstated by the City Council. Since the program is no lon-ger in existence, no new applications are being accepted.” He goes on to raise the issue of the only other property ac-cepted in the Pilot Program – Crepes & Corks.

I have also raised that issue in the past, to no avail. I had also pointed out that the Pilot Program was in violation of State Gov Code sections.

Letters to the EditorOpinion

No doubt that flu vaccine helpsClaire Harlin’s article titled “local doc-

tors respond to aggressive flu season with differing views on the vaccine” (Jan. 17, 2013) suggests that there is a balanced de-bate over the usefulness of annual influenza vaccines in pregnancy, starting with the an-ti-vaccine viewpoint of Dr. Timothy Bilash. Before I address the importance of vaccina-tion, I find it confusing that the article sug-gests Dr. Bilash “recently opened a women’s health practice in Solana Beach.” The first Google entry for Dr. Bilash is a Del Mar Times story from July 15, 2011 announcing “Dr. Timothy Bilash is planting his profes-sional roots in Solana Beach” and lists the same address as the “recently opened” prac-tice.

San Diego County has seen a rapid rise in influenza cases since the start of 2013. We are seeing both influenza A and B in our community. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has determined this year’s influenza vaccine to be 62 percent effective in pre-venting influenza. This means that, though not everybody who receives the vaccine will avoid the flu, the likelihood of contracting influenza is reduced by more than half with the vaccination.

Dr. Bilash’s suggestion that influenza vaccination “with pregnant women, it doesn’t seem to make sense” puts women, their unborn children, and their family members directly in harm’s way. His sugges-tion runs contrary to opinions from the In-fectious Disease Society of America, the CDC, and his own national specialty orga-nization, the American College of Obstetri-cians and Gynecologists (ACOG). ACOG’s bulletin titled “Pregnant? Your Flu Vaccine Due Date Is Now,” (Dec. 4, 2012) recom-mends influenza vaccination, in part stating “An essential element of prenatal care, the flu vaccination is recommended for all pregnant women, regardless of trimester.” The ACOG President’s blog (Nov. 16, 2012) includes, “It is especially important for pregnant women to be vaccinated because

they can become sick enough from the flu that it can lead to severe lung infections re-quiring hospitalization and preterm deliv-ery.” Per the CDC, “Pregnant women who get the flu are at higher risk of hospitaliza-tion, and even death, than non-pregnant women.” Studies have shown the risk of premature delivery is increased in women who get influenza while pregnant.

We’re all aware that vaccinations carry some degree of risk, usually minimal and outweighed by benefit. When addressing potential risk vs. benefit for any treatment with my patients, I try to make them aware that everyday life carries real risks. Drive to the grocery store or movie theatre, and you risk injury or worse from a car accident. Go for a run and risk a fall, a sprained ankle, a head injury. Studies from the United States and Europe looking specifically at influenza vaccine safety show no unique risks for pregnant women, their fetuses, or infants. Pregnant women should not receive live, at-tenuated vaccine (nasal spray), which is ap-proved only for healthy nonpregnant per-sons aged 2 to 49 women.

I encourage everybody to look to legiti-mate websites for guidance on influenza prevention and treatment, such as Mayo-clinic.com, Flu.gov, and CDC.gov. We can all practice simple, effective and common-sense precautions to reduce the chances of getting or spreading the flu (as well as the myriad other viral respiratory infections in our schools and community). These mea-sures include getting adequate sleep, eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, covering your mouth when coughing, and washing hands before eating or touching your face.

It was 40 years ago this month that the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in the historic Roe v. Wade deci-sion. A majority of Americans support and respect the deci-sion each woman must make about her own pregnancy and oppose efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade.

But interestingly, the way people identify with the is-sue has shifted over the years. No longer do labels like “pro-choice” and “pro-life” reflect the way people think about abortion. The fact is, generations of Americans — across party lines — understand that it’s just not that simple. Abortion is deeply personal, often complex, and not some-thing that can be put squarely in a “pro” or “anti” box. In-deed, the number of Americans who support access to safe and legal abortion is consistently higher than those who identify as “pro-choice.” And many Americans self-identify as both “pro-choice” and “pro-life,” or neither.

What unites people — and what doesn’t need a label — is the shared belief that politicians should not interfere in a woman’s personal decision about her pregnancy. And an underlying principle to such a complex decision is that none of us can understand a woman’s specific situation. We don’t walk in her shoes.

Undoubtedly, voters made it clear this year that they are opposed to policies that demean and dismiss women. In November’s election, voters rejected some of the nation’s most vocal and extreme opponents of safe and legal abor-tion. Yet, despite the outcome of the election, we continue to see politicians who are working to ban or chip away at abortion access. In state after state, legislators have put for-ward bills that seek to limit a woman’s ability to make her own decisions about her pregnancy.

As the nation’s leading women’s health care provider and advocate, Planned Parenthood knows firsthand why it’s so critical that women have access to a comprehensive range of reproductive health care services. In 1965, illegal abortions made up nearly one-fifth of all pregnancy-and childbirth-related deaths. In the 40 years since Roe v. Wade blocked states from banning abortion, it has been one of the safest medical procedures.

Planned Parenthood health centers provide profession-al, nonjudgmental, and confidential health care and infor-mation to keep women healthy and prevent unintended pregnancies. In addition to breast and cervical cancer screenings, male wellness exams, STD testing and treat-ment, and abortion care, our health centers provide contra-ception that helps women prevent an estimated 486,000 unintended pregnancies and 204,000 abortions every year.

Attacks on women’s reproductive choice fly in the face of public opinion, and more importantly, are extremely dangerous to women. Women must have access to safe, le-gal abortion services without interference from politicians. Ultimately, decisions about whether to choose parenting, adoption, or abortion must be made by a woman, her fami-ly, and her faith, with the counsel of her doctor or health care provider.

Planned Parenthood supports women in whatever de-cision they make — this is our promise. We’ve protected ac-cess to abortion for women for 40 years, and we will con-tinue to protect it for the next 40.

Darrah DiGiorgio Johnson, president & CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary serving the region.

40 years safe and legal: Let’s keep it that way

ation function and the inte-gral of it would produce the position function, I was hooked. Learning about maximums and minimums in calculus was somewhat interesting, but after seeing the maximum height of the trajectory of a projectile is simply when the derivative of the position function is equal to zero, I had a much firmer understanding of the calculus concept. This trend of seeing how math con-cepts I previously learned could be applied to physics problems made my intend-ed major an easy decision. It also made me eager to learn new areas of math that were briefly introduced in AP Physics C. For example, how differential equations can be applied to falling objects, circuits, rockets, springs, and other physics concepts made me even more eager to learn and master differen-tial equations, a daunting subject which I am now looking forward to. Splitting an already well-paced class

into a two full year algebra based physics courses and essen-tially removing the more inspiring class out of high schools will eliminate the opportunity for future students to take the class that changed my life.

I am sure other Torrey Pines alumni majoring in physics would also be writing about the poignant, positive impact this class made on them if they knew the AP Physics C course was in jeopardy. It was only by accident that I learned about this while visiting my high school physics teachers to tell them how much I appreciated their classes. The main reason I’m writing this letter is because earlier to-day I was talking to my younger brother, Noah, about the classes he is interested in taking at Torrey Pines. Noah is an equally if not more motivated, self-driven, and passionate student. When I was telling him about the classes he might be interested in taking and realizing he might not get the opportunity to take this life-changing course, I was deeply saddened that anyone would take this amazing opportunity away from someone with so much potential.

All that said, it is devastating that the College Board, an organization claiming to fight for education, is planning to endanger or eliminate the class that not only inspired me to become a scientist, but also opened opportunities for me I didn’t even know about. With the growing need for science in any economy and with America’s educational gap in sci-ence compared with leading countries, it seems crucial to protect every opportunity given in this field, particularly one so interesting and inspiring as AP Physics C.

Thank you, Dustin Inada

Torrey Pines Rugby prevails over Cathedral in clash of unbeatensBY TIM PICKWELL

The sporting landscape is littered with contests that never match up to the pre-game hype (think, most Super Bowls, the recent BCS Nation-al Championship, or, if you’re really old, Billie Jean King v. Bobby Riggs in 1973. Kids: you can look that up. Largest audience to ever see a tennis match in US.)

Saturday’s contest be-tween two of the best and un-beaten High School Rugby sides in Southern California garnered national attention, as Washington-based Rugby Magazine posted up an on-line preview of the match be-tween Torrey Pines (4-0) and Cathedral Catholic (4-0). Both teams featured current or former High School All-Americans (Billy Maggs for Torrey Pines; Drew Gaffney and Aaron Mitchell for Cathe-dral), both teams were scoring juggernauts with stout defens-es. The winner would have the inside track for the South-ern California Youth Rugby High School Division South Championship.

Add in the natural rivalry between the public and pri-vate high schools that are two miles apart on Del Mar Heights Road, and well, . . . the local Rugby community was abuzz.

But, would the game live up to the hype?

It was better.Cathedral came out

strong and used its impressive size to push Torrey Pines back up against its own try line (that’s a “goal line” in grid-iron-speak). Torrey Pines spent the next 15 minutes playing in the shadow of its own goal post as Cathedral pounded away, trying to break through.

Torrey Pines hadn’t pushed the ball past their own 40-yard line, let alone past mid-field, while Cathe-dral stayed in control, pressur-ing the Torrey Pines defense with an onslaught of strong runs for a full quarter-of-an-hour. The Dons had con-trolled a match—dominated it really—but ended up with nothing to show for it.

“We fumbled the open-ing kickoff and Cathedral went to work. Their size and will were impressive. Fortu-nately, we worked on team defense all week in practice and the boys played it perfect-ly. We must’ve made 30 or 40 tackles in the first 15 min-utes,” said Torrey Pines Head Coach Matty Sandoval. “The intensity got everyone’s heads into the game.”

Finally, Torrey Pines Cen-ter Chase Pickwell busted free for a run that got the ball past mid-field. A Maggs pooch-kick took it to the 15-yard line. Another Pickwell run, a hand-off to junior Flanker Ja-cob Neeley, a quick flip, and a few seconds later, Dean Karam was over the line with the first score. Torrey Pines, 7-0 after an Alec Mills kick.

Neeley, an all-around talent on offense and defense, is a rookie in only his second month of Rugby. The Torrey Pines coaches named him “Man of the Match” for his all-around play.

Cathedral continued to utilize its substantial size advantage to dominate the line-outs (throw in from out of bounds), but Torrey Pines more than held its own in the scrums. The two rookie props, Grant McGahey and Miles Ahles, proved that tech-nique and fitness can easily offset size, even in the front row.

In the 20th minute, Torrey Pines’ speedy wing Michael Ca-hill finally got the ball and broke free down the sideline, pitch-ing to Maggs who beat the Cathedral fullback for the score. Ca-thedral was now down 14-0 after another Mills conversion.

Torrey Pines Captain Pickwell then used an effective stiff arm to break free for a 35-yard try a few minutes later. Torrey Pines took a 19-0 lead into the half.

That must have been an inspired half-time speech by Cathe-dral Coach Glenn Irvine. The Dons went right to work after the break. Center Xavier Ulutu used his substantial (6’ 1”, 215 LB) size and strength to bull his way in for a try with 5 minutes gone. With the kick good, the score stood at, 19-7.

Sixteen minutes into the half, a busy #8 (Rugby jersey num-bers correspond to the position played) Drew Gaffney scored off a 5-meter penalty to pull the Dons to 19-14. #8 is like a lineback-er/full-back in the middle of the 15-man action. A lot of ball handling, a whole lot of tackling for Gaffney, who played on a USA Juniors HS All-American Team last summer in England.

Cathedral kept pressing and kept control of the ball for the second half. “It felt like they had it 9 minutes for every one of ours,” said Pickwell. In a short while, Torrey Pines found itself playing in its own try zone (a.k.a., “end zone.”) An attempted quick punt by Torrey Pines from inside the try zone was blocked by Cathedral’s Chris Franke who recovered the ball for the try. With the successful PAT (worth 2 points in Rugby), the match was tied, 19-19, with ten minutes left.

“In rivalry games there is always a gut check time, and when Cathedral tied the score it was ours,” said Coach Sandoval. “It was time to see what these guys were made of.”

Torrey Pines Rugby practices Tuesday and Thursday under the tutelage of some of the top coaches in Southern California—former USD Star Sandoval, former All-American and USA Eagle Bill “Chief” Leverse, international professionals Allen Andrews, Dan Dorsey and Damien Fantongia. But, Wednesdays are volun-tary conditioning with ex-Green Beret, Bob McDonald.

Those voluntary conditioning sessions with the Green Beret may have paid off.

After being pushed around most of the game, the smaller, lighter Torrey Pines props and forwards found their rhythm with a few minutes left. They were quicker to support a tackled team-mate, and rather than passing the ball quickly to the faster backs, the front line took it upon themselves to pound straight ahead into the teeth of the Dons’ Defense. The larger Cathedral line was a tad slow to get back, clearly winded, hands on hips.

First it was Karam with a line plunge. When he went down, the forwards “rucked over” to protect him and reclaim the ball. Then it was Pierre Pretorius rumbling ahead. Then, Senior Ahles when Pretorius was tackled. Line plunge, tackle, ruck. Rinse. Repeat. Grant McGahey ploughed forward after Ahles was downed, and finally, Hooker AJ Talman with the final charge, carrying two Cathedral players on his back, for the winning try with 4 minutes remaining.

Final, Torrey Pines 26, Cathedral Catholic, 19.

“It was a great contest,” said Cathedral’s Irvine. “But, we were missing five guys. Aaron Mitchell was out with an injured shoulder, Joey Ku-perman was on a college foot-ball recruiting visit, 3 guys were out with the flu. But, a

great game.”Irvine is looking forward to a potential semi-final rematch

in a few weeks, when he hopes to field the full squad, including his starting Wing who separated his shoulder the first week of the season and won’t return for two more weeks. Torrey Pines will counter with star Forward Michael Cox (out with the flu) and will answer the bell once again, and those who come to watch will surely be in for another sporting treat.

technical and environmental studies taking place through 2014, and final design and construction planned to wrap up before 2030. The entire project is estimated to cost at least $100 million and will re-place a nearly 100-year-old bridge that has become costly to maintain, Dale said.

“It will take at least a year for the environmental process and a year for the design, and while we’re doing all that stuff we’re going to find the $100 million,” Dale said. “We like things to be shovel ready here at SANDAG.”

SANDAG and the North County Transit District (NCTD) earlier this month mailed detailed flyers to Sola-na Beach and Del Mar resi-dents living within 1,000 feet of the project, said project manager Linda Culp, and at least 75 residents and represen-tatives from local stakeholder entities such as the City of Del Mar attended the workshop-format meeting, which was aimed to gain community in-put on what should be exam-ined in the environmental re-view. Additional meetings will be held throughout 2013, ac-cording to SANDAG.

“We want to know if there’s something you are con-cerned about that we haven’t thought about,” Dale said. “Do you think we’ve missed some-

thing?”Points to be considered

include how high to build the bridge, which must be raised at least 500 feet to meet federal flooding standards, said Dale, as well as how the platforms will be designed. Engineers from David Evans and Associ-ates have come up with several alternatives for the platform, including one that loads pas-sengers on the east side of the track, one that loads passen-gers on the west and one that allows passengers to load from a platform between the two tracks. The options have vary-ing environmental impacts on nearby sensitive areas, such as either more construction over Stevens Creek to the west or near the San Dieguito Lagoon to the east. The center loading option would result in a much wider structure covering the waterway near the opening to Dog Beach.

“Every alternative has its pros and cons,” said engineer Nikki Jeffery. “The east option would affect the creek and the west option would maintain the creek, while the center maintains both.”

Jeffery said the platform won’t have any overhead structures like a normal train station and will only consist of ramps and stairs to provide ac-cess to and from the fair-grounds.

Shawna Anderson, princi-pal environmental planner with the San Dieguito River Park, said the project as pro-posed should improve tidal flow and improve the habitat because bridge spans will be wider and higher. She said she also hopes the project will pro-vide public trail access under the bridge.

“Currently people cross over the tracks to get to the beach but that is illegal,” she said, adding that the river park supports providing public ac-cess to the fairgrounds.

The San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Plat-form Project is one of 17 SAN-DAG-led rail efforts in the re-gion, with more than half of those projects taking place in the North Coast Corrridor be-tween Oceanside and La Jolla. The ultimate goal is to double track 97 percent of the rail that spans from Orange County to downtown San Diego, and SANDAG is halfway there. The 3 percent that won’t be double tracked includes the rail line along the Del Mar Bluffs, which Culp said would be too costly and is planned for relo-cation sometime after 2040. Together, infrastructure chang-es along the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOS-SAN) will cost more than $800 million.

4 Bedroom | 2.5 Bath$2,360,000

BY KAREN BILLINGFew people can say that they’ve

had a hug from a bonobo. Even few-er can tell you exactly what a bono-bo is.

Solana Beach resident Debbie Sandler, who has had her share of bonobo hugs, is determined to in-troduce people to the endangered animal, a member of the great ape family that is one of humans’ closest living relatives. Sandler had the op-portunity to spend time with the bonobos in their native Democratic Republic of Congo last year and wants to raise awareness about the species, as well as alert people to the population living right here in San Diego.

The San Diego Zoo is only one of seven in the United States to have bonobos in captivity. There are currently 13 bonobos in the group at the zoo, having moved down from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in June 2012.

The number of bonobos left in the wild is unknown but it could be as little as 10,000. The Congo’s Lola Ya Bonobo, where Sandler visited in October 2012, is the world’s only bonobo sanctuary, tak-ing in bonobos orphaned by the bush meat trade.

“They need us, they need our voic-es,” said Sandler.

Of the four great apes (which also includes chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans), the bonobos are the least known and the most rare. For many years bono-bos were thought to be just pygmy chimps and were only discovered as a species 30 years ago, Sandler said.

As the bonobos live exclusively in the Congo there is a degree of difficulty for researchers getting access to the ani-mals as the country has been emerged in a deadly conflict since 1998.

Bonobos and chimps are humans’ closest relatives, sharing 98.7 percent of human DNA.

While chimps live in a male-domi-nated society with infanticide and war, the bonobos are female dominated; they are more peaceful and sexual behavior is used as a way to resolve conflicts.

“Because they’re so genetically alike with humans, it’s really valuable for us to understand them better,” Sandler said.

They look very similar to chimps, but bonobos are smaller with pink lips, black faces and hair parted down the middle. Unlike chimps, bonobos have a very high-pitched voice.

Sandler, who has her degree in an-

thropology and primatology, is a self-pro-claimed “former orangutan girl.” She got hooked on bonobos after a reading the book “Bonobo Handshake” by Vanessa Woods, a Duke University researcher who traveled to Lola Ya Bonobo with her husband Brian Hare, who leads the Hom-inoid Psychology Research Group at Duke.

Almost immediately after finishing the book, Sandler plunged herself into learning as much as she could about the bonobos. She tracked down Hare, flew across country to attend a Friends of Bonobos fundraiser, and made plans to go to Africa as soon as she could.

“I wanted to have that hands-on ex-perience with the orphans but equally as important, I wanted the opportunity to experience Lola and that part of the

world so that I could, in some way, bring that magic back here and share this incredible group of little known great apes with my community and others,” Sandler said.

Sandler also found an opportunity at the San Diego Zoo to work with a graduate student’s project on conflict resolution. At the zoo, she is observing how two popula-tions have merged. Lana (the zoo’s oldest bonobo who will be 34 in April) was the domi-nant female in one group and Loretta was the dominant in the other.

“We wanted to see how the two dominant females han-dled each other,” Sandler said. “Lana ended up stepping aside

and letting Loretta take care of the is-sues.”

Getting to Lola and the Congo was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Sandler.

“People were terrified about me go-ing there. My younger son was really nervous and my husband was guardedly nervous but I took all the precautions I had to take and I went there with a lot of people who knew what to do,” Sandler said.

Lola is located just outside of Kin-shasa, the capita of the Democratic Re-public of Congo. It was founded by Clau-dine Andre in 1995 at former retreat for Congolese dictator Mobutu Sese Soko.

Lola is home to 52 bonobos, or-phans whose parents were killed by bush meat traders.

It is illegal to sell bonobos (they can fetch $60,000 on the black market) and when they are confiscated by police, Lola becomes a safe place for them to go.

Baby bonobos are extremely at-tached to their mothers for the first five years of their lives, Sandler said, so much so that they can actually die alone of broken hearts.

Because they need such special at-tention, human volunteers at the sanctu-ary called “Mamas” raise the babies until they reach five or six years of age when they can join the other bonobos at Lola.

Eventually Lola is working on a re-lease program but for now they live at the “gorgeous” sanctuary forest, which Sandler said is a very natural environ-ment for the animals.

BY MARYRUTH COX AND JENNIFER CRITTENDEN

On Feb. 5, 1913, a title insurance agent filed a map with San Diego County of a new subdivision called Del Mar Terrace. It was located on the south side of Del Mar, crawling north from Los Peñasquitos Lagoon – the slough, as it was called then – up into gigantic sandstone cliffs. One-hun-dred years later, the area is a flourishing neighborhood of over 300 homes, constantly bustling with activity, in-cluding restaurants and small businesses along Car-mel Valley Road, but its de-velopment was long in com-ing.

The history of the Ter-race, like much of Califor-nia, is linked to water. Lots were offered for sale in 1913 for $150 and up, with pay-ments as low as $5 a month. Tantalizing advertisements promised ocean breezes and spectacular views. But there were few takers, as the only access to fresh water was a big water line that ran through the middle of the Terrace with no agency to distribute it. The lots lay empty, and a farmer planted beans on the lower slopes of

the Terrace. In 1943, 30 years after its subdivision, there were only five houses on the Terrace.

In the 1950s, interest in the area began to rise, par-ticularly following annexa-tion by the city of San Diego in 1958. Intrepid settlers tapped into the water line with homemade pipes and banded together to build a little community. By 1953, there were 40 households that were drawing their wa-ter through an intricate net-work of water lines. Because of the lack of reliable water, proper roads and sewer lines, the banks wouldn’t is-sue loans to build houses in the Terrace, so a tradition of building one’s own house developed. Today, there are at least 10 homes still stand-ing that were built by their first owners after work and on weekends. Pre-existing cottages were moved into the neighborhood, several from Camp Callan, a mili-tary training camp south of Torrey Pines State Reserve.

Because of the proximi-ty to Scripps and UCSD, many settlers in the 1960s were oceanographers and professors. Some of those early residents still live in

the Terrace, although they are now retired. The area was also popular with surf-ers and artists. The milkman came daily, and a fisherman would pass through with his daily catch. Soule’s Market opened on the corner of Via Aprilia and Carmel Valley Road, now the site of the Mexican restaurant Rober-to’s. Neighbors met for schnitzel and polka dances at Little Bavaria, a German restaurant, whose DANCE sign could be seen from the Torrey Pines grade. In 1962, street names were changed from the existing Laurel, Fir, and Cedar, and assigned Italian names, including Via Aprilia, Borgia, Cortina, etc., in alphabetical order from west to east. The I-5 opened in 1966, dramatically reduc-ing traffic on Highway 101. When Del Mar Heights School was built in 1965, the neighborhood children began to walk to school through what is now the Torrey Pines Reserve Exten-sion.

Z anzibar Cafe on the UC San Diego campus plays a supporting role during performances at The

Loft, but when classes are in session, it takes center stage.

Tucked into a corner on the second floor of Price Center East, it’s one of the restaurant’s two locations in San Diego. While Zanzibar Cafe’s downtown site is more of a full-service bistro, the UCSD counterpart is designed for quicker service.

Inside the modern establishment — an artsy space with sculptural lighting fixtures and paintings that grace pea-green walls — customers order food at the bar/counter, and it’s brought to them at their seats. Some people opt to relax on the benches loaded with green and white pillows, with their companions sitting opposite them on plush ottomans; others socialize around tables large and small. The music is ambient, ranging from hip-hop to indie.

It’s often a morning stop for campus crawlers, who start their day with a cup of steaming coffee and fuel up on fare ranging from burritos and egg dishes to bagels and parfaits.

As the weather warms and lunch hour approaches, many people take their entrees onto the communal patio that contains about a dozen tables, some of which are shaded by umbrellas. Midday dish offerings include the Mango Chicken Salad, a colorful combo of grilled chicken breast, sliced mango, cucumber, jicama, goat cheese, roasted almonds and sun-dried cherries on a bed of mixed greens, with a side of sun-dried cherry vinaigrette; and the Turkey and Bacon Melt with Roma tomato, pepper jack cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato aioli on sourdough bread.

Among other popular choices are the Zbar Mac & Cheese with a cornmeal crust and a side salad; and a trio of Fish Tacos made with blackened tilapia, spicy cabbage slaw, mango salsa and house-made hot sauce on the side.

Zanzibar’s social hour begins at 4 p.m., and the selections become simpler, such as fried pickles, a basket of fries and chicken nuggets, flatbread and hummus with pita. Beer and wine are served inside only.

Tyler Vandertie, The Loft’s general manager, suggests customers sit at the bar and interact with the staff by asking questions. “You get the full

scope of what’s going on, and people likely won’t go wrong with any of the food items,” Vandertie said.

For a special treat, stick around after the end of social hour and catch a show.

Officially, Zanzibar closes at 6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, but on performance nights, it rearranges seating and then reopens for dinner and drinks at door time. The kitchen operates through the end of the show — usually between 11 p.m. and midnight — serving items from the lunch and social hour menus.

Events — spotlighting everything from rock bands to movies to art shows — are held about six nights a week. About half of the shows require tickets, which can be bought ahead of

time or at the door. Regular events include “Blabbermouth,” an open mic night drawing poets, singers and comedians held the first Monday of each month; and “Reply All: Jazz,” staged the first Wednesdays.

Vandertie credits owner Carole Janks for the unique atmosphere at Zanzibar. “Her energy trickles to everyone involved,” he said. “It’s a friendly environment, good food, good atmosphere.”

For nonstudents planning to visit Zanzibar at The Loft, the most convenient parking is the Gilman Parking Structure, at Gilman and Russell drives. Permits are available at stations inside the structure for $2 an hour. To find Zanzibar, walk to an exit and follow the signs to Price Center East.

3.The opera will be broad-

cast on KPBS radio 89.5 FM at 7 p.m. Saturday, and on-line at kpbs.org

American tenor Ste-phen Costello will appear in the role of Tonio, singing the “Mount Everest” of op-era, the famed aria “Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête!” which includes nine high Cs.

He is joined by Slovaki-an soprano L’úbica Vargicová, as the orphaned Marie, who is adopted by a regiment of soldiers.

Making a Company de-but as the kind-hearted Ser-

geant Sulpice is Italian bass Donato Di Stefano. Polish contralto, Ewa Podle , sings the role of Marquise of Birkenfeld. American sopra-no, Carol Vaness, performs the spoken role of the Duch-ess of Krakenthorp.

Rounding out the cast is American baritone Mal-colm MacKenzie as Horten-sio and American bass-bari-tone Scott Sikon as a Corpo-ral.

opera from the podium, and Spanish stage director Emilio Sagi stages his imagi-native up-date of the pro-d u c t i o n he created for Teatro Comunale di Bolo-gna.

“ T h e Daughter of the Regiment” was composed by Gaetano Donizetti, with li-bretto by J.H. Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard. It will be performed in French with English translations above the stage. The production had its world premiere at Paris Opéra Comique on Feb. 11, 1840.

Sandler knew she want-ed to meet the baby bono-bos but wasn’t sure how much time she would get with them—she thought she’d maybe get 20 minutes. Her third day there she got her first interaction with a 2-year-old baby and got to play with the baby every day.

She has footage of her rolling around in the grass with the baby on her head, happily swinging the baby from her arms and letting the baby playfully mussing her hair.

While Sandler was there, one bonobo came that had been caught in a snare and had a badly in-

jured arm. As Lola has edu-cated the public on the im-portance of conservation, the bonobo was brought to the sanctuary and was able to receive surgery and treat-ment.

“It’s a great story be-cause the community looks to Lola as bonobo guardian angels,” Sandler said.

Sandler said she “fell in love” with an 8-year-old fe-male that she would visit daily at her enclosure. One day when Sandler had a cut on her hand, the female put her hand out to take Sandler’s hand.

“She pulled my hand toward her and took her thumb and tried to squeeze the poisons out,” Sandler said. “She was so gentle, so sweet. I got teary-eyed as I

neared the end of my week there and I was sitting by her enclosure crying. She put her hand out and rubbed my leg. They are just so gentle, sensitive, kind, compassionate and shar-ing….We all need to become more bonobo-like.”

As it is now, Sandler is at the zoo once a week to help with the research proj-ect but her goal is to get in-volved with a deeper re-search program and also to get back to the Congo and Lola every year.

“My goal is to be a voice for these amazing ani-mals because there needs to be an awareness,” Sandler said. “We have a long way to go to making bonobos a household name.”

BY CLAIRE HARLINThe TV show “Real Housewives” is not coming to San Diego, despite the slew of news

reports that claim it is. However, Asylum Entertainment and a major cable network are seeking upscale, affluent women in the San Diego area for a not-yet-titled housewives show, casting director Alex Shaw said on Jan. 17.

“Many people are printing ‘Real Housewives,’” said Shaw in an email. “Not true.”Asylum Entertainment, which produces television, film, commercials and music, is

looking for “outgoing, exciting, strong, focused women who reside in and around the San Diego area,” according to the company.

“We are looking for women who are lively and energetic, with defined opinions and views,” the production company shared in a statement. “Our featured women should have busy lives, be involved with the community, have a strong work ethic and an active social calendar. Most importantly, they should be enjoying the good life.”

The women, significant others and families must be open to sharing their experience with producers and a TV audience. Those interested can email their name, age, bio, place of residence, contact information and current photos to [email protected].

Asylum Entertainment is the company behind the A&E special, “Gangsters: America’s Most Evil,” the TLC and Discovery Health show “Addicted,” and HGTV’s “Natural Born Sellers.” For more information, visit www.asylument.com.

Four Troop 782 members achieve top Eagle Scout rank

Troop 782’s newest Eagle Scouts are Adam Woodnutt, James Hunter, Nick Post and Noah Toyonaga. COURTESY

See TROOP, Page B9James Hunter at one of his benches.

BY KATHY DAYConsider this: About 2

percent of all Boy Scouts achieve Eagle rank. In Troop 782, four of the 40 members just achieved that goal.

“That’s a little unusual,” said Richard McGuire, scout-master for the troop that in-cludes youth from Del Mar, Solana Beach and Carmel Valley. “Usually we have one in a year.”

Three of the new Eagle Scouts – James Hunter, Noah Toyonaga and Nick Post – have been together since they were Cub Scouts. The fourth, Adam Woodnutt, joined them when he and his friends moved up from Cubs.

Once the boys set out on their path to Scout’s highest rank, they must se-lect a project, design it, raise funds for, recruit volunteers and execute it. Along the way they learn a lot about themselves while building their leadership skills, a point noted by all four of the newly minted Eagles.

From the youngest – James, who was 15 when he completed his project and recently turned 17, to the oldest, Noah, who turns 18 on Feb. 3 — they all faced challenges along the way. But each said that made the

learning process more valuable. “I learned a lot and got more insight into what the

world is like,” said James, a sophomore at Torrey Pines High School. He had to get permits, approval from the school and interact with company officials as he built and installed eight benches on his school’s tennis courts.

Noah, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy who built and installed bat boxes in the San Dieguito River Park , said Scouting “was a pretty big factor in shaping who I am. ... You learn to tie knots and build tents, but you also learn character and leadership skills and working with others.”

Adam, a 16-year-old CCA junior who repaired and re-placed stairs and part of a trail in San Dieguito Park, said he learned a lot about organizational skills. “The biggest chal-

lenge was finding the right time and getting everyone there,” he said.

Nick, also 16 and a ju-nior at San Dieguito Acade-my, installed benches and river rocks around his school’s veterans’ memorial to protect it from students who sat on it and skate-boarders who used it as a spot for tricks. He said lead-ing adults was a big part of his learning process.

“Some were not neces-sarily completely receptive,” he said. And then there were the younger Scouts “who didn’t want to work.”

Here’s a bit more about each of the boys and their projects:

• James Hunter: A member of the TPHS tennis team who lives in Del Mar, he picked courtside benches as his project after talking with the coaches. He had first planned to redo the benches outside, but the coach said the players would appreciate having some on the courts, he said.

He raised money by contacting members of the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams and arranged for donations to go through the school’s

foundation so they could be tax deductible. He also ap-plied for and received dis-counts and a grant through Lowe’s corporate office that helped pay for all of the hardware for the project.

He learned the hard way about the difference be-tween concrete and asphalt. Shortly after installing the benches – a cantilever de-sign that relied on strong back support — on what he thought were concrete sur-faces, they started tipping over because the bolts didn’t anchor into the asphalt.

“Obviously that was not very good,” said James, a member of the TPHS ro-botics club who aspires to be a mechanical engineer.

So he put up signs to stay off the benches and borrowed a concrete borer from his scoutmaster, a UCSD engineer, to bore 6-inch holes that he filled with concrete and rods to anchor the bolts.

Once past the initial disappointment he felt about having his friends help with a project that didn’t work at first, he said, “it was a good experience.”

• Nick Post: The Solana Beach resident – who aims would be the third genera-tion from his family to be in the Air Force if he gets into

the service academy — knew from the get-go that he wanted to do something for the military. After coming up with that idea between eighth and ninth grade, he realized two years ago while waiting for his mom one day after school that the vet-erans’ memorial was it.

“I saw skaterboarders doing tricks off the memori-al,” he said, adding that he also noticed there wasn’t much seating around the 10-year-old wall that pays tribute to graduates killed in wartime.

With his principal open to the idea of adding bench-es, off he went. Initially he wanted to do precast con-crete with Trex slats, but the cost and complexity turned the project in a different di-rection. Instead, he settled on a simpler, U-shaped de-sign made from a smooth concrete that is not very po-rous so if anyone paints graffiti on them, it scrubs off easily, Nick said.

He got donations from Home Depot in San Marcos, the San Dieguito Academy Foundation, local vets’ groups and service clubs along with a lot of small do-nations for his two-sided benches that enable stu-dents to look at or away from the memorial.

The project, he said, “was long and difficult. That’s the idea – to demon-

strate leadership and over-come adversity.”

Noting that he is proud of himself for getting the Ea-gle rank, he said he learned different techniques in lead-ing people.

“It’s not just about dish-ing out orders,” he added, noting that he sometimes thought about the axiom, “If you want it done right do it yourself” but resisted the temptation.

“Delegating is a big part of leadership.”

• Adam Woodnutt: The Carmel Valley resident has always been a trailblazer, Scoutmaster McGuire said. But this time, he wasn’t hik-ing trails — he was repairing them. He took out a flight of stairs in San Dieguito Park, regraded the slope and in-stalled new steps. His project also entailed installing French drains and water bars to improve drainage near the steps and grading a switchback to make it easier to get to them.

He picked his project from a list of suggested proj-ects and off he went. Find-ing the right time and get-ting everyone there – about 20 people helped out – there were his biggest challenges during the six months he worked on the trail. Overall, Adam said, “It went fairly smoothly.”

With a future in neuro-sciences or the cognitive sci-

ences in his sights – areas of learning he was exposed to during a class at Canyon Crest – he said the leader-ship and planning skills he acquired will come in handy. A member of CCA’s competitive improve team, a student of tae kwon do, member of the academic team and volunteer at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, he’s been with Scouts for 11 years.

As for going after the Eagle rank, he advised his fellow scouts to “get into it. There’s a lot of things you can do.”

• Noah Toyonaga: Like some of his friends, Noah has been in scouting since the first grade. He picked his bat box project from a list in the San Dieguito River Park office, although his scout-master said his first choice was taking a swing set to Mexico.

“I’ve walked there, but didn’t even know bats had a big presence,” he said. “When you go camping, you see them but you don’t think much about it.”

Starting from nothing and ending up with some-thing that benefits the com-munity is what the Eagle rank is all about – that and showing leadership ability, he said.

He got the plans togeth-

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT What’s the next hot ticket at

the La Jolla Playhouse? It may well be “Chasing the

Song,” a new musical exploring the world of pop music in the ear-ly 1960s, by award-winning book writer/lyricist Joe DiPietro and composer David Bryan. The dy-namic duo is best known for “Memphis,” about a white DJ air-ing black music in the 1950s, which was staged at the Playhouse in 2008 and scored four Tonys on Broadway in 2010.

“They’re an extraordinary team,” said Playhouse artistic di-rector Christopher Ashley, who helmed “Memphis” in La Jolla and New York and is now directing “Chasing the Song,” scheduled for its first public readings — with four pianos! — Jan. 25 and 26, at the Potiker Theatre on the USCD campus.

“Joe DiPietro has decades of experience in theater and is smarter than anyone I know about story,” Ashley said of the writer, with whom he has done two other shows. “And David Bryan, who toured for years as keyboardist with the rock band Bon Jovi, brings a wonderful freshness of spirit. This is still a new adventure for him.”

It will be an adventure for au-diences too, part of a six-week ar-ray of plays-in-progress, Jan.

24-March 3, which the Playhouse is calling the DNA New Work Se-ries.

“As the place to look for what’s next in American theater, cultivating and developing new works is in our DNA,” Ashley said. “Now we’re pulling back the cur-tain and letting the audience see how we put a play together.”

The DNA plays may be short on sets and costumes, and actors may have scripts in hand, but the

series promises an insider’s look at the creative process. And the high note of the series is “Chasing the Song,” an insider’s look at the pro-cess of creating hit songs.

The action takes place in Man-hattan’s legendary Brill Building, which was headquarters for music publishers, labels and agencies in the big band era of the ‘30s and ‘40s, and continued putting out the top pop sounds in the ‘50s and ‘60s with hit-makers like Carole

King, Burt Bacharach and Hal Da-vid, Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, and Neil Diamond. The story is about a struggling music publisher and an ambitious young songwriter who make their way to the top of the charts before the Beatles come along and change the game.

The DNA series will also in-clude workshop productions of two non-musical plays: “The Tall Girls,” a drama by Meg Miroshnik, directed by Juliette Carrillo (Jan. 24–Feb. 3), brings the bright hope of a girls’ basketball team to a des-olate town aptly named Poor Prai-rie. And “Brahman/i, A One-Hijra Stand-Up Comedy Show,” by Aditi Brennan Kapil, directed by Jeremy Cohen (Feb. 21–March 3), presents a precocious sixth-grader who talks about being “intersex,” or in the words of his traditional Indian aunt, a hijra. Each play will have eight performances in the Makine-ni Play Development Center.

But wait, there’s more: six free readings (Feb. 7-9 and Feb. 15-16), ranging from local favorite Mo-nique Gaffney’s “Being Henrietta,” about a poor black woman whose cancer cells became one of the most important tools in medicine, to the family-friendly “The Boy at the Edge of Everything,” by Aus-tralian playwright Finegan Krucke-meyer.

If you’re a theater-lover, you

won’t want to miss any of these adventures in play-making. The letters to remember in the next six weeks? Definitely DNA!

‘Chasing the Song’ is high note in Playhouse’s DNA New Work Series

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT

For the past 40 years, Joyce Cutler-Shaw has been exhibiting her drawings, art-ist’s books and installations at museums and libraries around the world. The artist, who has called La Jolla home since 1959, is current-ly showing an impressive se-lection of her slide-out, large-format and “tunnel” books at the Athenaeum, in “What Comes to Mind: Na-ture-Human Nature and Vi-sual Translation.”

At the Jan. 11 opening, more than 100 art-lovers gathered to admire the ex-hibit, which continues from the main gallery into the North Reading Room and includes a 10-foot-tall walk-in book that super-sizes an image from Cutler-Shaw’s original “Garden of Wild

Birds and Grasses.” Another, more perma-

nent, version of this piece is on view at the gateway to Stonecrest Village, a housing development in San Diego, in the form of a pair of steel sculptures expressing the artist’s concern with the in-terplay of natural landscapes and built environments.

“My subjects are hu-man identity and the natu-ral world,” she wrote in an artist’s statement. “My themes are evolution, sur-vival and transformation: from reptile into bird, from mammal to human, and from human, perhaps, to humane.”

Cutler-Shaw, who is art-ist-in-residence at UCSD School of Medicine, is fasci-nated with anatomy, and the exhibit includes a small sample of her “Alphabet of

Bones,” a unique calligraphy inspired by her detailed drawings of the leg bones of a messenger pigeon.

But the most captivat-ing works here are four wall-mounted tunnel books, framed by her own brain scans, that invite the viewer to contemplate a loop of videotaped “memory pic-tures” within; it’s the artist’s

way of showing how the brain accumulates images from the past, becoming a storehouse of personal and cultural memories.

Also on display are “Limbs and Trunks,” three-dimensional drawings un-derscoring the connections between humans and trees,

and “What Shall We Do When the River Runs Dry,” wall-mounted slide-out books that act as a visual meditation on the dwin-dling supply of our most precious resource, water.

Visitors are encouraged to open drawers and peer into cases to discover some of the artist’s interesting but lower-profile works.

This is not Cutler-Shaw’s first show at the Ath-enaeum, which has a num-ber of her pieces in its per-manent collection and was part of a four-library retro-spective of her work in 2003. But it’s a show well worth seeing:

“What Comes to Mind” will give you plenty to mar-vel at and think about.

One of the hottest names in theater these days is playwright Tarell Alvin Mc-Craney, a graduate of Yale School of Drama, member of Chicago’s Steppenwolf The-atre Company, resident play-wright at New York’s New Dramatists and London’s Royal Shakespeare Company, and a multiple award-winner on both sides of the Atlantic. Now “The Brothers Size,” for which he won the first New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, is coming to the Old Globe Theatre January 26.

Originally staged at Yale, where the playwright, director Tea Alagi , and actor Gilbert Owuor were at school together, the play had its New York premiere in 2007, at the Public The-ater’s Under the Radar Festi-val. Part of McCraney’s “Brothers/Sisters” trilogy, three passionate, poetic pieces set in Louisiana’s bay-ou country that all started out at Yale, it has since been performed at theaters around the world. This will be its first showing in South-ern California.

Pulsing to the beat of Af-rican drums, “The Brothers Size” is about two brothers

who are opposites in nature: the older one, Ogun, is the hardworking owner of an au-to-repair shop, while the younger, Oshoosi, a newly-released ex-con, is a carefree drifter about to be shaken up by a visit from an old prison friend. The characters are contemporary, but they’re informed by West African mythology, with names de-rived from Yoruban deities:

Ogun, god of iron and metal-work; Oshoosi, a hunter-god and solitary seeker; and Eleg-ba, god of mischief.

Gilbert Owuor, who orig-inated the part of Ogun at Yale, and played it in New York and Washington D.C., is no stranger to “The Brothers Size.” But this time, he’s per-forming with different actors.

“That changes every-thing,” he said. “I have to

step away from the world I was used to and approach the play in reference to the new actors, as if it were the first time. I have to ask new questions, try to find new things—it’s amazing how, with good writing, you can endlessly find new things. It’s very exciting and re-freshing.”

Director Tea Alagi ’s style is exciting too. “I had

the pleasure of working with her at Yale, doing everything from Brecht to Shakespeare to Tarrell McCraney,” Owu-or said. “She’s very much about the manifestation of character through physicali-ty, encouraging actors to truly embody their roles.”

Part of the play is styl-ized movement, both athlet-ic and dance-like, and the ever-present drumming. “It elevates everything to a dif-ferent dimension,” Owuor said. “Our words are con-temporary, but the music creates a sense of awesome power underneath. The drums are really another ele-ment, the African side, the side of worship and tran-scendence.”

Composer/percussionist Jonathan Melville Pratt first worked with the play’s origi-nal cast in New York. Now, at the Globe, he too is mak-ing changes, rewriting the score to fit the new trio of actors.

“The Brothers Size” is an unusual play about fami-ly, and what we do for those who are most important to us.

“Bring someone you love to watch the play with you,” Owuor suggested. “If you have a brother, come with him.”

Shortly before the play was scheduled to open, Gilbert Owuor had to withdraw from the company due to a family emergency. The part of Ogun will be taken by Joshua Elijah Reese, who played the role in the West Coast premiere of ‘The Brother/Sister Plays’ at San Francisco’s Magic Theatre and most re-cently in a South Afri-can tour with Syracuse Stage.

BY CLAIRE HARLINStephanie O’Mary-Berwald has a degree

in English Literature, but it was during col-lege nearly 15 years ago when she discov-ered her real career passion — food — that has carried her to where she is today, work-ing as the new executive chef at one of Del Mar’s most well-known culinary institu-tions, Pacifica Del Mar.

But it wasn’t easy getting there. As a sophomore at Columbia University in New York City, O’Mary-Berwald became inspired to step into the culinary world after talking to friends who worked in restaurants and loved their jobs. She was 19 and had no ex-perience, but she set her heart on working in celebrity chef Todd English’s iconic New York restaurant Olives — a high-end venue that doesn’t just hire anyone.

So, O’Mary-Berwald took an interesting approach — repeatedly calling every day for at least a month asking for a job.

“They would just get sick of me calling and calling. They knew it was me, and ev-ery time they’d say to call back,” she said. “I was thinking at one point I would get someone who would say ‘Yes, there’s an opening.’”

Finally a chef offered the student an unpaid position, and she happily worked for free in the kitchen for a year before be-ing offered an hourly wage.

“Back then, that’s the way you got into the business,” she said. “You just kind of slaved away.”

Her experience training under English, who hosts the PBS travel series “Food Trip” and has authored numerous books, launched her into an education at the French Culinary Institute in New York and then heading up several highly coveted res-taurants, from New York to Washington

D.C. to Los Angeles.Joining the Pacifica Del Mar team last

fall was a fitting transition for O’Mary-Ber-wald, and a big step for the restaurant that has sat atop the Del Mar Plaza for more than 20 years. Chris Idso had become known as the executive chef there for more than a decade, and his promotion to man-aging partner of the restaurant left his for-mer culinary position open for the right person. And when a hospitality industry headhunter brought O’Mary-Berwald to Pa-cifica, management knew they were putting the kitchen in the right hands.

“It was perfect. Our backgrounds were similar and we talked about food in the

New Pacifica executive chef keeps cuisine classy and casual same way,” said O’Mary-Ber-wald of Idso, adding that she had a lot to learn filling the shoes of such a long-standing culinary staple in the community. “We both like to work in high volume and still maintain the integ-rity of the food.”

O’Mary-Berwald said many upscale eateries are low volume because it’s hard to produce high quality at a large volume, looking at ev-ery plate before it gets placed in front of a guest. At Pacifica, however, that’s the standard that has been set over the years.

“You have to do high volume for a business to succeed, but as chefs, you have to do that same level of food that gets you excit-ed,” she said.

The daughter of a mother from Lima, Peru, and father from Arkansas, O’Mary-Berwald said she was highly influenced by food — a mixture of South-ern and Peruvian — growing up. But her own style has morphed into being very in-gredient-driven and Italian-influenced, she said.

“I want people to enjoy their food in a casual envi-ronment, and I really com-pare what I do at Pacifica to the style of Del Mar itself — upscale but relaxed,” said

Stephanie O’Mary-Berwald

O’Mary-Berwald. “That juxtaposition of things is good in that it’s classy, but still a beach town. You can come in wear-ing flip-flops and jeans and feel like you’re at home.”

O’Mary-Berwald said she has been revamping the des-sert menu at Pacifica, transitioning from the traditional cookie plate to macarons and adding some more modern yet nostalgic items such as red velvet cheesecake and a white almond milk panna cotta.

She also said she is taking advantage of California’s year-round fresh ingredients by adding seasonal items like a kabocha squash ravioli.

But one of the most important things about joining Pa-cifica is understanding that the customers have been com-ing back to the restaurant for years — just as many of the employees have been with the company for a decade or more. When you have a solid team and no imminent need for change, she said, you have to keep things fresh and new without taking away the Pacifica qualities that people have loved for so long.

“It’s nice to have people who have been coming here for so long,” she said. “That’s why we keep a lot of the clas-sics on the menu that will never change.”

If you’re a filmaholic, you’ve probably heard about the Cinema Society, and its director, Andy Friedenberg, who founded the Society in 1984. Having moved to San Diego from Chicago, where he was Regional Marketing Director for Columbia Pic-tures, he wanted to create a way for local film-lovers to meet, watch movies togeth-er, and talk about what they saw.

“That first year, we started out with 32 people — my mother, my father, and 30 of their friends,” he said. “Now we have over 800 members.”

For the past 15 years, MCASD’s Sherwood Audito-rium has been the site of the Society’s popular Evening of Award-Winning Short Films. This year, on Tuesday, Jan. 29, they will be screening nine films from seven differ-ent countries.

“We scout the planet to find the most interesting films,” said Friedenberg, who mostly finds his award-winning shorts at other film

festivals. Some of his personal fa-

vorites this year: • The multi-award-win-

ning, Oscar-nominated “Asad,” a 16-minute South African film about a young boy who dreams of being a fisherman. Filmmaker Matt Lefebvre will be present at the screenings.

• “ Abiogenesis,” a 4-minute animated sci-fi fantasy from New Zealand. “I created the film on a stan-dard desktop computer in my parents’ garage,” said filmmaker Richard Mans. It

took him four years to com-plete, and has now been shown at over 30 festivals around the world.

• ”What You Looking At?” a 9-minute film from the U.K., about a Muslim woman stuck on an elevator with a drag queen.

There will be two show-ings of the films, at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Filmmakers — or their surrogates — will intro-duce each film, and take questions at the end of the evening. The program runs about two hours, and most of the seats will be filled by Cinema Society members, but La Jolla Light readers are invited to attend at the members’ guest price of $20.

If the films whet your appetite for some travelling “cinematic adventures,” Friedenberg also leads trips to film-and-theater hot spots, here and abroad. Up-coming destinations include Academy Headquarters in Beverly Hills

(Feb. 23, the day before the Academy Awards) and a New York City Theater and Cinema Tour (April 20-26).

er, built the boxes, and used his own money and money from Troop 782’s greenery sales to pay for his project. He, too, gathered up about 20 of his friends, family and other Scouts to help him out.

Although he’s president of the Canyon Crest Science Olympiad team and has held oth-er leadership roles, he said, improving those skills is “something I try to work on.”

Noah, who has just completed 10 college essays, said he isn’t sure yet what his career path will be.

“I haven’t rule out anything,” he said, “I can see myself studying literature or the hu-manities or science. … Whatever interests me I pursue it.” Noah’s interests include science, math and guitar.

For these boys to have made Eagle Scout is a major accomplishment, their scoutmaster said. “It takes a lot of focus to make it. I’m proud of these guys.”

dozing, local residents unit-ed with conservation groups to form a grassroots effort to save some of the natural land around them. Through dances, bake sales, and na-tional media attention, they were able to raise matching funds for a $900,000 grant from the state to purchase 197 acres containing the white and red sandstone bluffs that form the back-drop of the Terrace. This area was donated to the state and named the Torrey Pines Reserve Extension. A nature education trail was built through the efforts of Carol Mason, an elementary school teacher. Now, genera-tions of children have grown up on the Terrace, walked to Del Mar Heights school on that trail, and dis-covered wildlife in the Ex-tension.

The quirky nature of the subdivision attracted ar-chitects and landscapers, and unusual houses began to spring up in the 1970s and 1980s, designed by Bat-ter Kay, Sim Bruce Richards and others. Ted Smith con-structed several of his re-nowned Go Homes, multi-family dwellings organized around a common kitchen. Ed Smith built a 12-sided house at the top of the Ter-race in which he lived until his recent death. Today, from A-frames and surf shacks to enormous master-pieces, the houses of the Ter-race are each unique. The topography of the area poses particular construction chal-lenges, such as holding houses onto the sandstone cliffs or fitting them into oddly-shaped lots.

The streets in the Ter-race have retained their orig-inal 1913 layout, including the popular walking “loop” around the junction of Via Grimaldi and Via Latina at the highest point in the neighborhood. In the 1950s, only Carmel Valley Road, then called County Road, was paved, so the Terrace streets were sandy quag-mires that turned into mud holes when it rained and blanketed everything with dust when it was dry. After severe flooding and wash-

outs in the 1960s, a tempo-rary paving was put on. Be-cause the streets were sub-standard, they were not rou-tinely maintained and were frequently in disrepair. In 1992, the city of San Diego proposed an improvement plan for the streets includ-ing installing sidewalks, storm drains, and street lights. Residents resisted, hoping to preserve the origi-nal feel of the neighborhood and avoid widening the streets. Following neighbor-hood meetings and peti-tions, the City and the resi-dents agreed that a special district would be formed permitting street paving without sidewalks or storm drains. The agreement is still in place today, to the delight of dog-walkers and night sky watchers.

In the late 1990s, an-other special district was formed to assess residents for the undergrounding of overhead wires. Many resi-dents on the upper streets participated while those on the flatter streets have re-tained their telephone poles and lines, offering local birds, including herons, a place to perch.

Children raised in the Terrace in the 1960s were acutely aware of its outsider status. With a postal address in Del Mar but located in the city of San Diego, life in the Terrace didn’t fit either the high-class Del Mar life-style or the urban San Diego environment. These kids banded together as the “Ter-race Rats,” and tattooed themselves with “TR”s, as commemorated in Bonnie Zobell’s writing about the lo-cal scene in The Reader. They share memories of horned lizards, tumble-weeds, and Slide Rock, one of the sandstone bluffs worn into grooves from the slid-ing good times of local chil-dren.

Although the Terrace offers a modern appearance on a quick drive-through, its long history and uneven de-velopment becomes appar-ent during any significant infrastructure project. Sew-ers are frequently cleaned and maintained for prob-lems associated with aging and to battle against Torrey Pine tree roots. Homeown-ers discover inconsistent his-torical property records or a

confusing array of pipes and electrical work under their yards. One resident, plan-ning a remodeling project, was told by a local surveyor, “Establish a property line in the Terrace? Well, the first thing you do is hang up and call Dial-a-Prayer.” As con-struction and growth con-tinues in the neighborhood, and as property values have risen, disagreements arise between neighbors over construction height, view impingement, setbacks, and clearances. But, as these dis-putes are resolved and plans are curtailed and modified, resulting in lowered ceilings, asymmetrical decks and strange rooflines, the neigh-borhood adds to its noncon-formist appearance and pays homage to its eclectic past.

About the authors: Maryruth Cox and Jennifer Crittenden are both residents of the Del Mar Terrace, Maryruth for 60 years and Jen-nifer for a mere 15. They are working on a book of the histo-ry of the Terrace.

CROSSWORD

LEGAL NOTICES


BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Soup has truly evolved

from its primitive begin-nings, which coincided with the very origins of cooking to a pop cultural phenome-non. Soup has entered the culinary worlds of movies (The Marx Brothers’ “Duck Soup”), television (“Sein-feld’s” recalcitrant “Soup Nazi”), art (Andy Warhol’s mammoth Campbell’s Soup cans), and the literary world (“Stone Soup” and Jack Can-field’s inspirational series of “Chicken Soup for the Vari-ous Souls”).

Soup has undergone re-markable transformations from feeding the hungry un-employed as an emblem of The Great Depression, to to-day’s mainstream restaurants specializing in eclectic liquid recipes.

Since January is Nation-al Soup Month, we celebrate the mighty soup’s powers to ease colds and the flu, and warm the cockles of the hearts of those who come inside from a winter won-derland playground.

Jewish PenicillinChicken soup has been

a miracle cure for all that ails you since Biblical times. The

Ancient Egyptians prescribed the broth as a cure for the common cold. A bowl of homemade chicken soup is still a favorite flu-buster sure to ease a ticklish throat, open those swollen sinuses, and replenish lost fluids from sneezing marathons.

Chicken and matzo ball soup has transcended reli-gious and cultural boundar-ies into the gustatory main-stream from delis and diners to upscale eateries offering riffs on the classic with kre-plachs (Jewish wontons), po-tato dumplings, assorted root veggies and spices such as ginger and lemon verbe-na.

Soup Du JourFrom France we have

enlivened our soup reper-toire with liquid bliss from clear broths (bouillons and consommés) and thick or creamy ones (lobster bisques and vegetable purees) to di-vine stews (bouillabaisse) and classic French Onion. Other regional soups include haricots verts (green bean), chestnut, pumpkin and gar-lic. French soups are all load-ed with seasonal herbs and bursting with joie de vivre.

Mamma Mia!Some Mediterranean

faves are hearty and rustic pasta e fagioli, (tomato broth with pasta and beans), vege-tarian minestrone, Italian sausage and seafood cioppi-no. But the most beloved broth is the Italian Wedding Soup, a recipe with roots in ancient Rome, “marrying” robust flavors of beef and pork meatballs, aged chees-es, chopped escarole in a rich chicken broth. The name was probably derived from the protein load this

soup packs providing fortifi-cation for the wedding night.

Chinese ChowdersWhile many Asian

broths have become nicely assimilated into American cuisine, like wonton, hot and sour, egg drop, shark fin and sizzling rice, other au-thentic recipes are virtual unknowns in the main-stream soup scene. Some ex-otics include, pig’s organ and Buddha Jumps over the Wall, a delicacy once used to entice monks to cross over to the carnivorous world. For sweet palates try some dessert soups like Sai Mai Lo of pearl tapioca, coconut and evaporated milk), and Hasma (a sweet appetizing blend — yah, right — of dried frog fallopian tubes).

College CuisineRamen has been the

survival soup for thousands of college-dorm dwellers throughout the land. Cheap and easy to whip up in min-utes, creative students can concoct at least 30 versions for a change-up every day of the month. Toss in ferment-ed cabbage and chili flakes for Korean Ramen. For a Louisiana gumbo, blend in Andouille sausage, shrimp, crab and okra. Want Italian? Use a tomato-based broth and chunks of eggplant.

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASE

Chris Morrison and Brent Ringoot of Prudential California Realty have unit-ed to create HomeBaseVA, a real estate team dedicated to helping veterans and active members of the armed forc-es.

“With the formation of HomeBaseVA, we can now provide our clients with a single point of contact for all of their home buying or home selling needs,” said Morrison, a broker associate.

The concept is highly personal in nature for Ringoot, a disabled veteran who served a four-year tour

in the U.S. Navy. He ex-plained that, “It was impor-tant for us to create a ser-vice-oriented program for our clients. Our exclusive in-dustry relationships allow us to deliver a seamless process from the start of the transac-tion to the close of escrow, as well as real estate reloca-tion services to and from anywhere in the country.”

Managing Director of HomeBaseVA Chris Morri-son agreed, adding that their success has been due to the team’s attention to de-tail and focus on prepara-tion.

“Our services are de-signed to improve our cli-ents’ financial position. We want to facilitate a positive experience for our clients and ensure that they can achieve their goals in the

most efficient manner possi-ble,” commented Morrison.

A residential specialist with Prudential’s Del Mar office, Ringoot is known for his vast understanding of

the local market and the tenacity he displays when negotiat-ing on behalf of his clients. He is a member of the Encinitas Toastmasters and actively involved with numerous commu-nity and charity organizations.

ton. I like reading military history and leadership. I am currently reading Tony La Russa’s “One Last Strike,” about the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals. It is a great book on leadership and management.

What is it that you most dislike?

Those who do not ap-preciate the quality of San Diego’s performing arts or-ganizations as exemplified by music as presented by the San Diego Opera and the San Diego Symphony, and theater as presented by San Diego’s Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse. We do not need to go to New York for great music and theater.

What is your most-prized possession?

Things are not impor-tant to me and you cannot possess your friends. Howev-er music is precious to me, and my family’s Steinway piano helps my children and me bring music into our home. What wonderful craftsmanship by Steinway

and such a beautiful sound!What do you do for

fun?I like to travel with my

family. We have been to Egypt, China, Turkey, Eng-land, France and Japan in the last four years. We were in Tokyo during the 9.0 Earthquake and that was frightening. We were in Egypt a few months before the revolution. Some of our friends think we are an ear-ly-warning system for unde-sirable world events and book travel in opposite di-rections. We plan to go to Africa on Safari soon.

What is your motto or philosophy of life?

My motto is a combina-tion of two that I learned in the Cub Scouts and Boys Scouts: Be Prepared (Boy Scouts) and Do Your Best (Cub Scouts)

What would be your dream vacation?

Two weeks on Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island with my wife, chil-dren and grandchildren.

RANCHO SANTA FE

SOLANA BEACH

Delorine Jackson, man-ager of Pru-dential Cali-fornia Realty’s Del Mar of-fice, recently a n n o u n c e d that Kelly Steele has joined the company to work with her team.

“ K e l l y brings an ex-t e n s i v e amount of ex-perience in related fields to her new career,” says Jackson. “This will not only facilitate her success into the future but also ensure her clients receive a superior standard of rep-resentation.”

As a licensed building and remodeling contractor, Steele specialized in residential kitchens and baths. With a background that includes time spent as a professional interior designer, she offers useful guidance for buy-ers and sellers who are seeking to improve their home’s physical condition or aesthetic

appeal.“I have really enjoyed helping my cli-

ents fulfill their needs and dreams,” explains Steele, an allied member of the American So-ciety of Interior Designers.

Steele’s work experience is backed by a solid education. She earned her interior de-sign degree from the Design Institute of San Diego. Steele achieved a bachelor of science degree from the University of California Riv-erside, where she studied business adminis-tration and marketing.

Born and raised in San Diego, Steele be-lieves that her sense of responsibility for her clients and local area knowledge will allow her to successfully transition into residential sales. “It is such an honor and privilege to be trusted with the task of helping families enjoy a better quality of life,” adds Steele.

Steele joined Prudential to leverage the company’s prestigious name and brand rec-ognition for the benefit of her clients. She also noted that Prudential’s comprehensive training and mentoring program were a mo-tivating factor in her decision to partner with the brokerage.

Kelly Steele can be contacted through Prudential California Realty’s Del Mar office, at 858-395-1970, or via email at [email protected].
