ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SURE SHORT SALE

BY MARSHA SUTTONSeveral items on the

May 17 agenda for the Sola-na Beach School District board meeting involved fi-nancial decisions regarding the district’s seventh school, a loan from the county, and discretionary spending of funds for categorical pro-

grams.The first action item

concerned an agreement signed June 28, 2011 be-tween the district and Pard-ee Homes regarding School #7 in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Since then, the par-ties met and negotiated an amendment to the original

agreement, which involved the property purchase for the school and escrow in-structions.

The May 17 action item authorized the SBSD super-intendent or her designee to submit the First Amend-ment into escrow and pro-ceed with closing escrow.

SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch said escrow will not close on School #7 until after the San Diego City Council takes action on June 12 on an item to re-duce the Pacific Highlands Ranch Public Facilities Fi-nancing Plan and Facilities Benefit Assessment. Escrow

will close 10 days after the mayor approves or vetoes the item.

“The final purchase price of the property is de-pendent on the action of the city council,” Lynch said

showed up to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting on May 24 as the board members discussed the draft en-vironmental impact report (DEIR) for the One Paseo proj-ect. The meeting was held at Carmel Valley Middle School as a large crowd was anticipated and a large crowd it was, with people holding signs and sport-ing project opponent “Save Car-

mel Valley” stickers and project proponent “I Support Main Street” pins.

Comments on the DEIR were due May 29 and the board’s comments would in-clude what the board contends are inaccuracies in the areas of the environmental setting, proj-ect description, land use, trans-portation/circulation/parking, community character and visual effect and the project alterna-tives.

“I hope that this process helps us understand the con-cerns about the project,” said Robert Little, Kilroy vice presi-dent of development.

is looking at the possibility of defi-cit spending by $4.6 million in 2012-13, district superintendent Jim Peabody reported at the May 23 meeting.

In the first reading of the pre-liminary budget, Peabody said they are projecting total revenues of $39,069,693, with total expendi-tures totaling $43.6 million.

“We have work to do, we un-

derstand that,” Peabody said.Peabody admits that they have

been conservative, as they have in years past. This year they are look-ing at a $2.6 million deficit, but they will have a better idea of where they will actually land in Au-gust.

Solana Beach awards Highway 101 construction contract, work to begin in JulyBY CLAIRE [email protected]

After two and a half years of deliberation, and then a months-long bid process, the City of Solana Beach has awarded a $6 million contract to Dick Miller, Inc. for the Highway 101 West Side Improvement Project construction contract.

“This is a very exciting time,” said City Manager David Ott. “It’s something [the city] has worked very hard on and the community has waited a long time for, and it’s really go-ing to change the face of the community.”

The city received nine bids for the project, which is estimated to last 15 months. Dick Miller, Inc. of San Marcos, the lowest bidder, has experience with public works projects in Coronado, Vista and Port of San Diego. City officials said they consulted with references from each of those areas.

A representative from Dick Miller said at the May 23 City Council meeting that the company takes advantage of minimal overhead and has 27 employees.

“I assure you I will give 100 percent attention to detail,” he said.The company’s base bid was $5.9 million, but the city recommended a contingency of

11 percent, making the total estimated project cost to be $6.6 million. Bids ranged as high as $7.5 million.

Construction is expected to begin in early July.

Starting in the fall, parents in the Del Mar Union School District will be able to order their children’s lunches online. The board gave direction May 23 to go forward with imple-menting Choicelunch’s online system.

The Choicelunch web site can manage online ordering and even has a school lunch transactional iPhone app. Lunch orders may be placed by 9 a.m. and cancelled by 5 p.m. the previous school day. Under online ordering, the menu selection would expand to four hot entrees and 13 cold entrees with a choice of snack, fruit and drink.

The cost will increase to $5.25, but there will still be cold lunches for a lower price in the $4 range.

Currently, the district is averaging 789 meals a day and staff is confident that the new ordering system will boost sales even more. Parents were pre-paying this year and had to or-der a week in advance and many asked for online ordering options.

“I enjoy Choicelunch and am a regular customer,” said parent Lola Walker. “Online or-dering will be very convenient for parents and increase participation. And online, children can see pictures of the food and they will get really excited about it.”

Del Mar school district goes to online lunch orderingThe Solana Beach School District will

offer Transitional Kindergarten beginning in the 2012-13 school year. Currently, students are admitted to kindergarten if they will be age 5 on or before Dec. 2. State Education Code 48000[a] changes that admission re-quirement from Dec. 2 to Nov. 1 for the 2012-13 school year, Oct. 1 for the 2013-14 school year, and Sept. 1 for the 2014-15 school year and each school year thereafter.

This change in the Education Code has created the Transitional Kindergarten pro-gram, marking the first year of a two-year kindergarten experience for students born between Nov. 2 and Dec. 2. Students who take part learn oral language development, pre-literacy skills, early math skills, large and small motor skills, development and en-

hancement of appropriate social and emo-tional skills, and self-regulation skills that promote success in school.

Kindergarten is not required in Califor-nia. Many parents of younger kindergarten-age children choose to enroll a year later. This decision often means making a choice between keeping the child home another year or enrolling in a pre-school program. The district always encourages families to carefully consider giving children born in September and October additional time. An-other year of pre-school can greatly benefit children not yet 5, providing time to gain maturity, independence, and self-confi-dence.

SB School District to offer Transitional Kindergarten

BY CLAIRE [email protected]

A handful of communi-ty members approached the Solana Beach City Council on May 23 to ask that they consider the formation of a community-owned energy cooperative in Solana Beach.

This concept, also known as Community Choice Aggregate (CCA), has already been taken on by Marin County, and a group called the San Diego Energy District (SDED) Foundation

is hoping to follow suit with the creation of the SDED.

Under the SDED, which would be a joint powers au-thority of the cities and county, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) would still own the lines, meter and transmission, but the district would offer alternative sup-plies of energy that’s more local and renewable, accord-ing to the foundation’s web-site. The district’s goal is to accelerate the purchase of renewable energy from lo-

cal, independent power pro-ducers.

Mayor Joe Kellejian said he has not heard of CCA, however, he is open to ex-ploring the option.

Councilwoman Lesa Heebner said she and Depu-ty Mayor Dave Roberts, who make up the city’s Environ-mental Sustainability Com-mittee, met recently with the SDED, and also present were representatives from SDG&E, Shell Oil and CCAs.

In supervisor race, Pate makes statement against ‘career politicians’BY CLAIRE [email protected]

In 2009, Escon-dido resident Ste-phen Pate stood out on street corners ad-amantly protesting Obamacare, and he took his efforts a step further by call-ing state Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. But his efforts to be heard and make a difference were made with no avail.

“I was brushed off and disappointed,” Pate said.

The experience didn’t sit well, so Pate, who works as an independent contractor providing transportation services for film crews in Los Angeles, started looking into getting involved in politics himself. The po-litical novice heard via a radio announce-ment that the filing period was open for District 3 County Supervisor.

“As I looked deeper into the process, I realized we have a lot of career politicians and that’s just not right,” he said. That’s what inspired Pate to pay the $1,500 filing fee and throw his hat in the race. He’s run-ning against Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard, Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts, Steve Danon, who is chief of staff for Rep. Brian Bilbray, and Brian Ziegler, an attorney who has served for five years as senior depu-ty counsel for the county.

Elections take place June 5 for the su-pervisor seat, which will be vacated by Pam Slater-Price at the end of the year.

Pate considers himself a normal, mid-dle-class citizen. He’s lived since 1998 in Es-condido with his wife of 23 years.

A devout fiscal conservative and Latter-day Saints Mormon, Pate said “We are cater-ing too much to a welfare state, when we need to put taxpayers first in every deci-sion.”

He also said he’s outraged that elected officials are “not serving as true public ser-vants but as political insiders.” He said he is tired of entrenchment and thinks people should spend at least 20 years in the private sector before seeking political office.

Pate realizes his underdog status, but said he thinks his odds are increasing the more he gets his work out and people get more and more information about the other candidates. He refers to the political realm as “an old boys club” in which “people feel they are deserving and it’s their turn to take the reins.”

“I would love more than anything for other regular people like me to step up to the plate and get involved, or even run for office,” Pate said, adding that he would like to see many more than five candidates in this race, as well as others.

“For any seat, there are hundreds of great candidates out there that don’t run,” he said.

He added that political leaders are “building like there’s no tomorrow and

Zeigler wants to see ‘new young blood’ on the county supervisor board BY CLAIRE [email protected]

Brian Ziegler never got to meet his grandfather, Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, but he’s heard stories of how the former Maryland governor and vocal civil rights activist had bricks thrown through his window for advocating desegregation of African Americans in the 1950s.

“I look up to him and he’s part of the reason I’ve always wanted to get into politics,” said Ziegler, 32, who is running for District 3 County Supervisor. “I share his strong moral val-ues and, like him, I believe we are all created equal.”

A North County native who attended Santa Fe Christian in Solana Beach, Zeigler, who works as senior deputy counsel for San Diego County, saw this local race as the perfect time to get into politics. He’s running against Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard, Escondido resident Stephen Pate, Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts and Steve Danon, Rep. Brian Bilbray’s Chief of Staff.

“I represent the people of San Diego in court, so when this position opened up I thought it would be a key time to get my feet wet and jump in,” said Zeigler, who works spe-cifically in code enforcement prosecution and environmental cases for the county. Two years ago, Zeigler helped District 2 Supervisor Dianne Jacob in pioneering a crime-free multi-housing ordinance, which holds slum lords accountable for apartment complexes that are nuisances and produce an excess of criminal activity. He became involved with this issue while on the East County Public Safety Task Force, which works to clean up the community and decrease service calls.

He is also proud of his 100-percent success rate in prosecuting and getting shut down nearly a dozen marijuana dispensaries last year in the unincorporated area of San Diego.

Zeigler, an Encinitas resident and father of four boys (ages three months to six years), said it’s been a juggle working full-time and campaigning, but he’s made somewhat of a family affair out of the experience. He’s gone out with his family in the district to pass out postcards and street signs, and his wife, Michelle, has taken on the role of his unofficial campaign manager.

“She’s been making phone calls, making signs and making postcards,” said Zeigler, who coaches for his kids’ soccer teams. “When I’m not working I’m busy campaigning and spending time with the kids. It will be nice when it’s all over so I have more family time.”

American Public Works Association honors Fletcher Cove Community Center

The local chapter of the American Pub-lic Works Association (APWA) recently rec-ognized several projects, including the Fletcher Cove Community Center in Solana Beach. APWA Projects of the Year serve as examples of excellence in infrastructure; this year’s winners improved water, sewer, ener-gy and transportation systems, schools, hos-pitals, police and fire facilities, military bases and community parks.

According to APWA, the Fletcher Cove Community Center was recognized because it “provides a lasting testament to the spirit of the Solana Beach residents and officials who made it possible. A community founda-tion covered 75 percent of its rehabilitation costs, and a local architect, landscape de-signer, engineers and LEED consultants do-nated their services to make the Center a re-ality.

“The project converted a dilapidated 1940s U.S. Army Barracks, which was con-structed with asbestos-containing materials, into a true community center. After a profes-sional team removed the asbestos, the re-construction incorporated environmentally-friendly materials and met LEED silver stan-

dards. Water efficient fixtures cut indoor wa-ter use by 33 percent and the landscape, de-signed to survive without irrigation, avoids runoff to protect the coast.

The Fletcher Cove Community Center provides a welcoming space for community meetings, classes and civic events, including the Solana Beach Community Sing-Along, which regularly draws 20-30 weekly partici-pants.

He said while the DEIR is a technical and disclosure document, it does not talk about the benefits of the project which he believes are many, including provid-ing a heart to the communi-ty and a “Main Street.”

The biggest concerns voiced were surrounding the community character and the unmitigated traffic im-pacts.

“There’s no conceivable way to mitigate all of the traffic impacts if this is built at the size and scale that it is,” planning board member Chris Moore said.

The board and some au-

dience members wondered why the DEIR didn’t include a scaled down alternative that could achieve the proj-ect objectives without the same negative impacts.

“I don’t know why it was not included,” said CV planning board chair Frisco White and noted it would be a question they asked in their comments.

The board had concerns that the DEIR did not accu-rately describe the surround-ing neighborhood that One Paseo is moving into, leav-ing out one single-family de-tached neighborhood and describing the area as hav-ing a 10-story building near-by, but board member Anne Harvey said that building is actually next to Interstate-5.

“It was described in a way that made it less con-trasting, often capturing a broader area,” vice chair Manjeet Ranu said. “The

bulk and scale is radically different than anything in Carmel Valley and the DEIR really glosses over that.”

The visual effect section also does not consider the negative impact of widening the roads around One Paseo, Ranu said, which would re-sult in a Mira Mesa Boule-vard-type character.

The loss of trees is also not discussed, regional is-sues co-chair Jan Fuchs pointed out, about 72 of them on Del Mar Heights Road.

The market retail study was also considered inade-quate by the board, not looking at the negative im-pacts to existing and planned retail, such as Pacif-ic Highlands Ranch Village Center. One Paseo could po-tentially cause it and other retail not to be successful, White said.

“PHR already has a Vil-

lage Center, it just hasn’t had the chance yet,” said board member Allen Kashani. “I’d hate to see this project take away the oppor-tunity to have a grocery store or a theater in PHR.”

Moore also said that there needs to be better analysis that it is a walkable project as stated, as he doesn’t seem many linkages for people to get to the proj-ect easily and it’s likely a place most people will need to drive to.

“I don’t think I’m going to look at a 10-story build-ing and say ‘I’m going up to the second floor and have coffee’,” said board member Debbie Lokanc. “I can’t see the walkability.”

She said it didn’t make sense to have all the shops and eateries hidden in the middle of the project — they should be drawing peo-ple in to walk around.

The board also took is-sue with the project having enough meaningful input from community members in its development.

“The DEIR goes into great lengths about how many meetings and barbe-cues were had,” Ranu said. “It’s not meaningful if the project only changed 2 per-cent in that time. Marketing events didn’t tell people what the likely impact will be.”

When White asked for opponents and proponents to stand up so he could gauge how they were split, the majority of people in at-tendance were against the project.

While opponent Ken Farinksy said the DEIR was so flawed that it should be “redone and re-circulated for another 60 days,” project proponent Andrew Reece said he was impressed with amount of work that went into the document.

“It looks like a good un-derstanding of mixed-use,” Reece said. “I think it dem-onstrates good knowledge of the neighborhood context and character.”

Besides One Paseo’s size, “gridlocked traffic” and park-ing were other issues that came up during public input.

“I’m concerned about parking, that it will be a Del Mar Plaza scenario where it takes as long to find a park-ing space as it does to walk around the area,” said Fred Baron, a 25-year Carmel Val-ley resident.

Resident Steve Burton, who is also the president of Ace Parking, provided a counterpoint. He believes that One Paseo’s shared parking program will actual-ly be a big help for the proj-ect and especially for Carmel Valley, which faces a lot of parking challenges. All of the office space parking will be able to be used on week-ends and after hours. One Paseo, in total, will have 4,089 spaces.

The next step in the process is for the city and the applicant to respond to all the comments on the DEIR and it’s not known how long that will take. The final EIR will then be pre-pared and a hearing at the planning commission can be scheduled a minimum of 14 days afterward. The Car-mel Valley planning board will see the project again for a recommendation before it goes to the planning com-mission.

After hearing the proj-ect, the planning commis-sion has 60 days to make a recommendation to City Council. City Council will then hold a public hearing to approve, conditionally approve or deny the applica-tion at the hearing.

could be an increase of 3 percent.

Peabody discussed the difficulties schools are facing across California, as the state faces a structural deficit of $15-16 billion.

The revenues came in short once again and the state overspent by $2.6 bil-lion. Education was the only entity that not only cut its budget but also its spending, Peabody said.

Peabody discussed Gov-ernor Jerry Brown’s school finance tax initiative that would mean, if it passes in November, the “weighted

student formula” will go into effect.

The formula states that at the base level (K-3) $5,466 would be allocated per stu-dent (this year the district spent $10,100 per student). At the 4-6 level, $4,934 would be allocated per stu-dent. This would be phased over seven years,

Peabody said 70 percent of all districts in California would be losing money and 30 percent would be gain-ing.

Additionally, there will be deferrals related to the bill AB 103. The bill defers $3.6 billion to K-12 next year, al-though it does not impact DMUSD as the district re-ceives money locally as a

community-funded district.“If that passes, some 17

of 42 districts in San Diego won’t be able to meet pay-roll between October and December of next year,” Pea-body said.

If the tax initiate fails, there will be a mid-year re-duction of $441 per student and districts would also be allowed to reduce the school year by 15 days over two years, and the weighted stu-dent formula would be post-poned.

Moving forward, the district has to make some adjustments but Peabody stressed the goal is to keep cuts away from the class-room.

Some of the things they

have already done to reduce the budget include tighten-ing up spending to run maintenance and operations (M&O), technology and the district office; taking away $16,000 of lunch duty sti-pends; and reducing district administration, resulting in a savings of $92,000.

Peabody had a list of recommendations to reduce the budget further, includ-ing cutting library services in half ($267,000); a fur-lough day for all classified staff ($28,000); certificated staff furlough ($141,000); eliminate oversize class sti-pends ($230,000); eliminat-ing duty- free lunch ($28,000); and restricted maintenance, such as put-

ting off painting or slurry seals for a year ($214,000).

Already M&O has been doing anything they can to maintain the quality of the campuses at lower the cost, such as doing all the plumb-ing in house rather than hir-ing someone outside to do the work and rebuilding air conditioning units them-selves.

“Just tighten it up that’s been our mantra,” Peabody said. “We want to do what-ever we can to keep money in the classroom.”

One option is to elimi-nate one of the district’s three nurses, a savings of $82,000, but Peabody said the district has many medi-cally fragile students so they

would really need to weigh the need and the cost of that decision.

Another option is to eliminate one maintenance and operations position, at a savings of $64,300. Peabody explained it would not be a layoff—one of the employ-ees is considering leaving and they would simply not fill the position.

“No matter what deci-sions we make, it’s going to affect people and that’s the hardest part of budget re-ductions,” Peabody said.

Peabody said another area for possible reduction is in the superintendent salary as they won’t likely hire someone with as much ex-perience as Peabody had.

in an email. “The appraisal, if the measure passes, will be $19,875,000, and if it does not pass will be $16,995,000. The Pro-Forma Value, or amount to be paid for this purchase is $8,248,048. The balance will be paid once it is deter-mined if another school will need to be built in the same area.”

Once escrow is closed, the district will announce the expected school opening date, she said.

The school board also approved an amendment to a Memorandum of Under-standing regarding financ-ing of School #7, agreed to by the district and Pardee Homes in 2004.

This First Amendment to the 2004 MOU updates the sequencing of payments and how the bond structur-ing would be implemented, Lynch said.

Loan from countyThe board also ap-

proved a resolution request-ing a temporary transfer of funds from the San Diego County treasurer’s office.

“This is a ‘safety net’ option that protects the dis-trict in case of a cash flow shortage,” Lynch said. “This resolution is annually brought to the board for ap-proval. It allows the district to temporarily borrow funds against future property tax collections from the county treasury.”

Lynch described it as “more like a property tax ‘advance’” and said the dis-trict has not participated in this program in the last few years.

“The district,” she said, “is allowed to request up to 17 percent of estimated fu-ture property tax collections if the request is made any time before August 31 or up to 85 percent any time after August 31. The going rate for such an advance is what-ever the county treasury in-terest rate is at the time of the advance.”

The district is request-ing just over $4.7 million for the period of July 1 through

Aug. 31, and $23.7 million after Aug. 31. The total esti-mated amount of tax money the SBSD expects to receive for the 2012-2013 fiscal year is about $27.9 million, same as last year.

The purpose for the re-quest, the resolution reads, is “to provide funds for meeting obligations in-curred for maintenance pur-poses.”

Dan McAllister, San Di-ego County Treasurer, said in an email, “In good times when tax receipts are flow-ing well and all is better on the financial front for local school districts, the loans are very rare. As the econo-my has stayed down and property values have de-clined, the taxes needed to fund school districts have also slowed.

“This, combined with the state legislature’s inabili-ty to pass timely budgets, has placed many school dis-tricts in a cash flow bind. Thus, many have begun to turn to the concept of trea-surer’s loans to help them weather the difficult eco-nomic times.”

Flexible use of fundingFunding for categorical

programs classified as Tier III has been given greater flexi-bility in the last few years, to allow districts more flexible ways to apply money for-merly restricted for use only on specific programs.

Tier III funding flexibili-ty is available for the 2008-2009 through the 2014-2015 years, but must be approved each year by each district’s Board of Education.

“As a condition of re-ceiving Tier III program funds, the board must annu-ally hold a public hearing to take testimony from the public on the proposed use of the funds,” Lynch said.

The Solana Beach School District is seeking funding flexibility for 12 Tier III categorical programs.

The highest funded pro-grams include: Targeted In-structional Improvement Grant ($717,648), School and Library Block Grant ($234,426), Instructional Materials ($126,823), and Deferred Maintenance ($115,005). Combined with

the other eight, the total is just over $1.5 million.

The district proposes to use most of the $1.5 million to pay the state its “Fair Share” liability, which is the amount each Basic Aid dis-trict is being assessed by the state to equal the propor-tional cuts in money from the state that non-Basic Aid districts have been forced to give up.

Basic Aid districts, about 10 percent of the state’s total, receive the bulk of their money from local property taxes rather than directly from Sacramento like the other 90 percent.

“Since these [Tier III] funds are flexible and the district carries a Fair Share li-ability, administration rec-ommends to the board that the funds be used to pay for the liability,” Lynch said. The board approved the rec-ommendation.

The estimated Fair Share liability is up to 90 percent of these funds, in-cluding funding for the K-3 Class Size Reduction pro-gram, she said.

“Any funds left after the

payment of the Fair Share li-ability are rolled to the gen-eral fund to help fund other educational programs,” Lynch said. “Even though

the mandates for these pro-grams have been flexed, we still provide the programs in which these funds are in-tended.”

porting that $430,000 had been raised. As of March 5, it was up to $665,000. Those last five weeks saw the goal being reached with 2,000 families contributing and the most corporate matches that the foundation has ever seen with $175,000. Qual-comm alone contributed $90,000 in matching funds.

The board and district

superintendent Jim Peabody thanked Isaacman and the foundation and all of the volunteers who worked tire-lessly to meet their goal.

“The children of the Del Mar Union School Dis-trict thank you immensely as we’re right on target with what we had last year,” said Peabody.

“It’s so important for kids to get that well-round-ed education we desire,” echoed board president Scott Wooden.

What to do with a Financial

Windfall?


BY KELLEY CARLSONSee Beneath Inc. has

surfaced as one of the new-est resources for children and families affected by Au-tism Spectrum Disorders.

The organization, offi-cially established as a non-profit in January, plans to offer educational tools for children diagnosed with, or at risk for, the developmen-tal disabilities and their families. It provides ways for parents to help their kids reach milestones in so-cial skills and communica-tion — areas impacted by ASD.

An animated video ti-tled “Aiko & Egor” is See Beneath’s first product, which follows a purple whale and a bright orange blowfish in their underwa-ter adventures. The pilot ep-isode focuses on object imi-tation, gross motor imita-tion and gesture imitation, with a goal of effectively teaching children one skill from each category, accord-ing to See Beneath co-founder Gerin Gaskin.

“We’re creating an op-portunity (for learning) in the home setting,” Gaskin said.

The team behind See Beaneath is composed of lo-cal residents — and room-mates — Gaskin and Jim Turner, and Casey Hoffman

of San Diego.Gaskin and Hoffman

are both employed in the UCSD Autism Intervention Research Program as early childhood interventionists. Gaskin had worked with adults with disabilities for three years and volunteered at the Autism Center for Ex-cellence before taking on her current position. Hoff-man, who also serves as the

research program’s lab coor-dinator, earned his bache-lor’s degree in psychology from UCSD and is now working on his master’s of global leadership at the University of San Diego.

Turner is the owner of event/flower design studio Blackbird Flowers in Encini-tas, and has assisted a num-ber of nonprofits through art direction and project management over the years. In addition, he has written and performed education-based materials for more than 10,000 children.

It was personal experi-ence that inspired Gaskin’s work in autism research, and eventually helped lead to the creation of See Be-neath. When her brother was a child, he was diag-nosed with autism, a devel-opmental disability that causes problems with social interaction and communi-cation. Symptoms tend to vary for each individual, and can range from mild to severe — hence the “spec-trum.”

The Gaskin family of-ten encountered difficulties finding the necessary ser-vices their son needed. Consequently, they moved all around the country, and over time discovered that California was one of the best locations for resources.

This challenge eventu-ally served as motivation for Gaskin to take action.

“It’s inspired us ... to reach people who don’t have 12 hours of therapy al-lotted to them every week,” said Gaskin.

The idea to form a non-profit began several years ago, after she and Turner led a food drive. When it proved successful, the two — who have been close friends for the last six years — began brainstorming about other projects on which they could collabo-rate.

Reaching out to the au-tism community seemed to be the natural choice, after they realized there weren’t many learning tools avail-able for young children di-agnosed with the disability. Gaskin had been working alongside Hoffman at UCSD, treating children un-der the age of 3 who were at risk for autism. And Turner had plenty of experience with nonprofits.

“I thought we should all come together and make (this) happen,” Gaskin said.

The trio originally wanted to write books, “but we wanted to make our tools as competitive and ac-cessible as possible, so video media seemed the best route,” Gaskin explained.

In summer 2010, the team began to develop the characters, script and story-boards for the pilot episode of “Aiko & Egor.” Gaskin and Hoffman noted that many of the youths they had treated at UCSD en-joyed sea creatures, includ-ing one of the first children both therapists worked with, who was obsessed with purple whales. Subse-quently, the whale became the inspiration behind the adventurous Aiko.

Other characters fol-lowed, including the blow-fish Egor, who inflates when he gets nervous, but then finds that everything will be OK; Wade, a sea-horse who loves to play with friends; and Lydia the clam, a “soft, motherly type” who loves her baby pearl and encourages the

characters to discover and explore.

For the story plot, the group decided to focus on imitation — an important skill that children need in order to learn from others and their environment— with a target audience of ages 18 months to about 6 years.

And to engage both parents and children, the trio decided to make some aspects of the cartoon silly.

“We wanted to make sure it’s enjoyable for par-ents, siblings, caregivers, grandparents -- the whole household,” Gaskin said.

The next step was to re-cruit a team of animators to bring the idea to fruition, so the group advertised their need for volunteers on

Accomplished author’s book sheds light on Hitler’s first year in powerBY JOE TASH

Before World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust, before the infamous reign of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany.

The year was 1933, and most of the world was oblivious to the gathering threat posed by the new regime. Berlin was a lively, colorful city, whose charisma and excitement may have obscured signs of impending doom. Hitler did not yet have an absolute grip on power, and observers thought his government would fall.

“What would that have been like, to have actually been there?” writer Erik Larson asked himself.

“In the Garden of Beasts,” Larson’s latest book (Crown Publishing), may be the closest that any of us will ever come to experiencing Hitler’s first year in power. The book, which came out in paperback on May 1, tells the story of William E. Dodd, who was appointed U.S. ambassador to Germany by newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933.

Larson, on a tour to support the book’s paperback re-lease, spoke Wednesday, May 16, at the Santaluz Club’s liter-ary luncheon.

Larson, 58, a former writer for the Wall Street Journal, has published six nonfiction books, including “The Devil in the White City,” a tale of the 1893 World Fair in Chicago, and a serial killer who used the fair as a lure.

The writer lives in Seattle with his wife, a physician, and three daughters. He was born in Brooklyn, New York.

In an interview before his talk, Larson said he was browsing through the history section of a bookstore, think-ing about topics for a new book, when he came across “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,” by William L. Shirer, a book he had long wanted to read. He picked it up, and in reading the book, decided his next endeavor would focus on the first year of Hitler’s rule.

He then sought a character, or characters, who could serve as a vehicle for telling the story. He came across Dodd, who took the ambassador’s post after a number of others

had turned it down. Dodd moved to Berlin with his wife and two grown chil-dren, a son and a daughter.

In his re-search, Larson dis-covered that Dodd’s daughter at first found Ber-lin’s social life “in-toxicating,” and she had published a memoir of her life there in 1939. Larson’s book chronicles one year in the fami-ly’s life, from their arrival in Berlin until mid-1934, when Hitler or-dered the murder and imprison-ment of hundreds of people suspected of disloyalty in an event dubbed “the night of the long knives.”

“That’s what changes the Dodds, their attitudes, forev-er,” Larson said.

While some thought Dodd, a mild-mannered history professor, might not be up for the job, according to Larson, “I think Dodd did the best anybody, frankly, could have done because he was not going to kowtow to the Nazis. He was not going to suck up to Hitler.”

“The Nazis wound up absolutely hating his guts. My point is, if the Nazis hate you, you did something right,” he

said.In the course of researching the book, Dodd spent

countless hours poring through documents at the Library of Congress and the National Archives. He also traveled to Berlin to get a feel for the layout of the city, especially the government sector where Dodd lived and worked. The name of the book is a translation of the Tiergarten, Berlin’s central park, whose name translates to garden or park of the beasts.

The park was one of the few places in Berlin not under audio surveillance by the Gestapo, Hitler’s secret police, an important point in the story, Larson said.

The book is factually accurate, said Larson, but his pri-mary goal was not to inform. “Rather, to create a historical experience. As vivid a sense of the past as possible.”

“So when you emerge from one of my books, ideally, my hope is that you emerge with this feeling that you kind of experienced in a very powerful way, that era,” he said.

Universal Studios and actor Tom Hanks’ production company have purchased an option for movie rights to the book, and Hanks has indicated an interest in playing Dodd, Larson said.

“I think that’d be great,” he said. “I have every expec-tation there will be a film and it will be a good one.”

People do seem to find resonance between the book and today’s political realities. Depending on the point of view of the reader, Larson said, they may see different threats. For example, he said, the Left is concerned about right-leaning groups, while Jewish congregations are worried about Iran.

If the events of 1933 Berlin do provide a lesson, it’s that, “You’ve got to be vigilant. Things can change quick-ly,” Larson said. But he added, “The reason I did the book is because I thought it was a great story.”

Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club honors local students with Children’s Challenge AwardsBY KAREN BILLING

The Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club held its 30th annual Vic Kops Children’s Challenge Awards on May 23, honoring 11 youngsters in a “league all their own.”

The awards honor elementary school students in the ar-eas of community service, science, art, fellowship, humani-ties and courage, and each child wins $100 for their accom-plishments.

“It’s a larger number than usual but we have such an exceptional group of young people this year,” said co-chair Susan Pfleeger. “These young people give me the courage and faith to know our world is going to be in good hands.”

Solana Highlands second grade student Nikki Sadeghi received an award for community service. Her teacher Shai-na White said that Nikki selflessly helped in a class service project.

“She sets a really good example of how to treat other people at school daily,” said White. “She’s very inspiring.”

Sixth grade student Tamar Ervin from Carmel Del Mar School was honored in the area of science. Teacher Cinda Peck said that Tamar excels in every project she touches. She participated in science field day and even coached teams, doing cross-peer tutoring. She is also part of the Green Team at the school. In science, she’s worked with robotics and has become the camera person and editor for the school’s broad-cast.

“She’s the complete package, an amazing athlete, a tal-ented musician and genuinely kind and compassionate,” said teacher Janet Wolfertz. “I even saw her eating broccoli instead of potato chips at a birthday party.”

Andrew Onozuka, a third grade student at Ocean Air, was honored for his achievements in fine art; his paintings have won several awards.

“We believe in his talents,” said father Gene, who noted Andrew also spends a lot of time learning the language and culture of his family’s origins, Japan.

Father John Mountzouris also nominated his daughter Eva Yang, a fourth grader student at Ocean Air, in the writ-ing division.

“She’s really blossomed in the fourth grade in terms of writing,” said Mountzouris.

He said Eva always has a lot going on in her head and one way to get it out is writing. She has researched and writ-ten about local topics such as vernal pools.

Ashley Falls third grade student Susan Lee, honored for music, “plays like an angel,” Pfleeger said.

Susan, 9, plays both piano and violin, starting piano when she was 5 years old. Susan has been playing the violin for three years,

“I think the most important thing is that she practices every day,” said her dad Dong Hwan Lee. “I hope she keeps that up.”

Teacher Athanasia Solowczuk said that Sycamore Ridge sixth grade student Matthew Rosenfield, honored for fellow-ship, is “one of those kids that you hope your own children will be like.”

Every morning Matthew comes to school with a smile on his face. A “teacher’s dream” he works well with his fel-low students, is not reluctant to speak up, is a great team player in sports and excels academically.

“He’s not conceited or tries to steal the show even though he could,” Solowczuk said.

Carmel Del Mar also had two honorees in fellowship, second grade students Romy Abed and Ella Holmes. Teacher Lorrie Lewis said that the two young girls stand out for their willingness to help out the students in the special needs class. She described Ella as a gentle spirit and Romy as happy and bubbly. She also described both girls as compassionate and accepting of others.

Lewis joked they are so good at what they do, she’d love to have them on staff.

In humanities, Sycamore Ridge fifth grade student An-jali Haripriyan was honored for a project she took on all her own. Recognizing the diversity among her friends, she inter-

viewed all her friends and re-searched and wrote about each family’s heritage — a total of 10 different countries.

“Watching her do that was an experience for us all,” said mother Jay Haripriyan.

In the area of courage, two very special children were hon-ored.

Hannah Motola, a second grade student at Del Mar Heights, received a tearful tribute from her teacher Paige Rollins. Hannah was diagnosed with an incurable, chronic Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the painful illness makes it difficult for her to both eat and sleep.

“She is an outstanding opti-mist and a fighter stronger than any one of us here,” Rollins said.

Rollins said Hannah works harder than any student she’s ever seen and is a top writer and

artist.Nick Wallace, a sixth grade student at Del Mar Hills, has

been such an inspiration that he was nominated by his teacher Stephanie Ilkhanipour, his aide Kylie Bridgford and a fellow student, Geneva Schlepp.

Nick was born with biliary atresia, a rare disease of the liver. Ilkhanipour said even though the disease affects every-thing Nick does and he is constantly light-headed and nau-seous, Nick is happy, funny and incredibly brave and strong.

She told a story about how he was in the hospital for a week and was back at school the day after he got out, with all his homework done.

Even though he has been told he cannot play contact sports, he loves lacrosse and was named an honorary cap-tain for the San Diego State University team.

This year, Nick received a call from UCLA that he was on the wait list for a liver transplant. He went in for an in-terview but another boy was selected for the transplant.

“Nick’s response was that he was thankful that the oth-er boy would be getting the liver because he was sicker and ‘needed it more than me’,” Ilkhanipour said. “His love of life reminds us to live.”

Memorial Day in Solana Beach


BY KAREN BILLINGCongregation Beth Am’s

Gesher preschool class put on its wildly cute Zoozeum on May 15. The night is a cele-bration of animal artwork, in-cluding impressive paper ma-

ché cre-ations that the young children made with their par-ents.

It was the ninth an-

nual Zoozeum display but special this year because it was the first time it was host-ed at Beth Am. Denise Neife-ld, preschool director, said the Zoozeum just gets more and more impressive each year.

Children complete art-work of all different styles to reflect their animal, from Marc Chagall “stained glass” to construction paper cubism a la Pablo Picasso.

The children also re-searched their animals, learn-ing fun facts and their names in Hebrew and then gave a brief and adorable oral pre-sentation about their chosen animal.

“Take note of your chil-

dren’s faces as they beam with pride,” Neifeld told the par-ents last Tuesday night. “You will witness the feeling of self worth, the sense of accom-plishment and the feeling of pride that they’ve gained for this amazing venture.”

Neifeld said it’s very spe-cial that the parents and chil-dren work together on the pa-per maché projects as it cre-ates a strong link between home and school and won-derful memories that will last a lifetime.

Beth Am Rabbi David Ko-rnberg even remarked that his 11-year-old still fondly re-members her Zoozeum adven-ture.

Sporting green and yellow hair on his head for proclaimed “Crazy Hair Day,” Sola-na Highlands kindergarten student Gabriel Haddad served as “Principal for a Day” on May 25. Gabriel had to take on a multitude of duties alongside Principal Jerry Jones (in photo above with Gabriel), including greet-ing students and families at their cars, doing the morning announcements, patrolling on recess and lunch duty, making an an-nouncement about which class won on Spirit Day for the most heads with crazy hair, and directing an open house parade.

He also enjoyed a special pizza lunch with three of his best friends.

Jones documented each step of Gabri-el’s day so that he could make a digital vid-eo as a keepsake of the day. — Karen Billing

A special free family music program sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be presented on Saturday, June 9 at 1 p.m. in the library’s commu-nity room. It will feature pianist Stephen Ai, violinist Shirley Wu, and cellist Meagan Wu. These tal-ented Canyon Crest Academy sophomores formed Trio con Brio in April of 2011 to spread their love of chamber music to the community. The program will in-clude music by Haydn, Prokofiev, Dvorak, Beethoven, and Mendels-sohn.

Stephen Ai began his musical studies at age 5 and has been playing piano for 11 years. He has participated in various pia-no festivals and competitions and won numerous awards in these events. He performed with the San Diego Symphony in 2009 and the Los Angeles Bach Orchestra in 2011. In addi-tion to music, Stephen is actively involved in student clubs and community outreach pro-grams.

Shirley Wu has been playing the violin for 11 years and studies with Michael and Irina Tseitlin. She is the assistant principal violinist in the San Diego Youth Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia. She enjoys playing tennis during and was on Canyon Crest’s tennis team. She also likes art, photography, and sightseeing. She has won multiple tennis tourna-ments and violin competitions.

Meagan Wu has been playing the cello for eight years and studies with Ruslan Biryukov. She is currently the assistant principal cellist in the San Diego Youth Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia.

“Best of”

Local resident leads Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America’s San Diego Chapter

BY JOE TASHMore than one million Americans

— and thousands of San Diego County residents — suffer from Crohn’s dis-ease or ulcerative colitis, two painful conditions that cause chronic inflam-mation of the gastrointestinal tract.

The local chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, part of a nationwide organization ded-icated to funding research into the conditions and providing support to patients, raises about $1 million per year for the cause, said Carly Bazzett, the San Diego chapter’s ex-ecutive director and a Solana Beach resident.

According to Bazzett, the conditions are often “silent” diseases, because people are embarrassed to talk about them. They can cause diarrhea, bleeding, cramps and fa-tigue, and many patients must take drugs with serious side effects or undergo surgery. No cure exists for either condition, both of which fall under the umbrella of inflam-matory bowel diseases.

“It’s like the worst stomach flu you’ve ever had and it doesn’t go away,” she said.The local chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation holds a number of fund-

raising events each year, and also helps patients and their families through education-al forums, support groups and other services.

One annual event coming up this weekend is the Take Steps two-mile walk, which is both a fundraising event and a chance for patients and families to get together for a fun and relaxing afternoon. This year’s event will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, at NTC Park in San Diego’s Liberty Station development.

Those interested in signing up for the walk or donating can visit www.cctakesteps.org, or call (619) 497-1300.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease each affect between 600,000 and 700,000 people in the United States, said Dr. Bill Sandborn, chief of gastroenterology at the UC San Diego Health System, and a member of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation board.

Bazzett said an estimated 14,000 people suffer from the two illnesses in San Diego County.

While there is likely a genetic factor in the conditions — people whose close rela-tives have been diagnosed with Crohn’s or colitis are more likely to get it themselves — other environmental factors such as eating a diet with a lot of meat or processed foods may also figure into the equation, Sandborn said.

In the United States, the number of cases went up in the 1960s and 1970s, then stabilized for a couple of decades. “Now in the last 10 years it’s going up again and we don’t know why,” Sandborn said.

Safe drugs with relatively low side effects work for about half of the colitis pa-tients, while the others need either drugs that do cause side effects, or surgery. A larg-er percentage of Crohn’s patients need to take medication that causes side effects to treat their disease, Sandborn said.

One factor in both colitis and Crohn’s is smoking, although the effect is opposite:

•Fun draising walk to be held June 2

Carly Bazzett Participants in a past Take Steps walk.

smoking increases the like-lihood of getting Crohn’s, but it reduces the chances of getting ulcerative coli-tis. Nicotine patches help some colitis patients, Sandborn said.

Research is needed to find better treatments for

both conditions, he said.Nationally, the foundation is funding nearly 200

different research projects related to Crohn’s and colitis, with 10 of those projects located at San Diego County research facilities, Bazzett said.

The organization raises the majority of its funds through private donations and fund-raising events, such as Saturday’s two-mile walk.

Other events are planned for later this year. In Sep-tember, the foundation will host a triathlon to raise money for research and patient support, and a flag foot-ball tournament — complete with former NFL players — will be held in October at Qualcomm Stadium.

Services are provided by the foundation to patients and their families at little or no cost, and 80 percent of funds raised goes directly into research, support or edu-cation, Bazzett said.

“We do believe we will have cures in our lifetime,” she said.

ENERGYcontinued from page 2

She said the city is cur-rently in discussions with the city manager and city at-torney to figure out whether the model would be finan-cially feasible. The next step could be to put the issue on a council agenda for public discussion.

She thanked members of the community for ex-pressing their “broad and deep support” for CCA.

One of those communi-ty members was Solana Beach resident Torgen John-son, who described the cur-rent situation as a “Cold War, Soviet-style monopoly” on energy providers.

Resident Jack Hegenau-er said adopting a local ener-gy cooperative would be in line with the principles of sustainability outlined in the city’s revised community plan.

“I’m not sure we know what sustainability looks like at a community level because we are used to per-sonal recycling and conser-vation efforts,” he said.

“Career politicians’ only concern is being re-elected and answering to donors who contribute to the reelection fund,” he said. “It’s a cycle of self-serv-ing behavior, but if a regular citizen were to come in he would be out to protect the taxpayers and people’s free-doms.”

If elected, Pate said he will put a pause on his ca-reer in the film industry.

“I’m leaving a lucrative environment to serve the public, and I will gladly come back to my job when my term is up,” Pate said.

ZEIGLERcontinued from page 4

Zeigler is a devout Christian and Tea Party Re-publican, and he said it’s because of his faith that he sees himself as a selfless ser-vant to the people.

“It’s not about me,” he said. “I want to make the community better because I care about it. My kids go to school here and play sports here. This is our life.”

Having grown up in North County, Zeigler said his “ears are close to the street.”

“I’ve been here my whole life and my friends are born and raised here, just middle class people like me,” said Zeigler, adding that he is not a career politi-cian.

He said there is a cycle of power in our county in which “rich people who are out of touch but have lots of money get people to vote for them.”

AUTISMcontinued from page 8Craigslist. About 20 people agreed to assist with such tasks as animation, voiceovers and the creation of original music. Family and friends provided the characters’ voices, and Turn-er even contributed a lion’s roar.

The 8 1/2-minute pilot was finally completed in September 2011, after a year of work.

In order to raise funds to further develop See Be-neath, Gaskin, Hoffman and Turner turned to Kick-starter, a Web site that serves as a funding platform for creative projects. They set a goal of raising $12,000 in 45 days; instead, they raised $14,000.

In addition, the trio en-tered a couple of competi-tions, winning $7,000 through the USD Social In-novation Challenge and $2,500 in legal support from the UCSD Executive Sum-mary Challenge.

Gaskin said See Beneath is in the process of paying the volunteers for their time spent on the project. The nonprofit also is currently writing the first six episodes of “Aiko & Egor,” and hopes to have them completed by the end of the year. The epi-

dren from 18 months to pre-kindergarten. Also, next fall, the district’s Child Develop-ment Center will offer a fee-based Pre-K Plus program to accommodate students that may need a more develop-mental program rather than the increased rigor of transi-tional kindergarten curricu-lum. You can learn more about this program at www.sbsd.net.

If your child was born in October and would like to be on a space-available waiting list of Transitional Kindergarten, please contact the secretary at your school.

sodes will focus on topics such as greetings, social rou-tines and games, turn-tak-ing and sharing, pre-verbal language, expressive lan-guage, initiating, pre-aca-demic and academic skills, and play skills.

See Beneath’s long-term goal is to add more tools for children with autism, in-cluding an interactive Web site that parents can cus-tomize for their kids and an application to help families teach and connect with their child. Gaskin said they also hope to eventually of-fer materials such as toys and books — much like “Sesame Street,” but for kids on the autism spectrum.

They also plan to con-tinue their research to see how patients improve with their tools, and hope to one day include a larger, older audience.

“Every kid is so differ-ent,” Gaskin said. “To reach (all of them), you have to have a lot of content.”

A preview of the pilot episode of “Aiko & Egor” is on See Beneath’s Web site, at aikoandegor.com. To ob-tain a copy, e-mail [email protected]; dona-tions and/or feedback would be appreciated. For additional information, call (858) 504-8443, go to face-book.com/aikoandegor, or

follow the nonprofit on Twitter @aikoandegor.

“We’re really excited about the future,” Gaskin said. “We’re trying to change the world one piece of animation at a time.”

“Then they get into of-fice and establish their king-doms and lose sight of what’s going on in the com-munity,” he said.

Zeigler and his wife have headed and served as volunteer mentors for a marriage mentoring group at their local church for more than 10 years. In the group, the Zeiglers connect new couples and discuss subjects, such as interper-sonal communication, that are important to those thinking about marriage. He said the experience has made him accustomed to having an open door to the community, and being a person that people can come to and share what’s important to them.

“We are active in the community and involved in the YMCA and in church. We care about what’s going on in the schools, and I think that makes us relat-able,” Zeigler said, adding that he’d like to bring “younger new blood instead of other career politicians” to the Board of Supervisors. “We are a family that other young families can relate to, and we want to see change in government leadership.”

It is time to put aside the hyperbole and exaggera-tion about One Paseo. Whether it is constructed or not, the sky is not going to fall and the world is not go-ing to come to an end. Only by sorting through the exag-gerations, however, can we make a decision we all can live with.

I should say at the out-set that I support some kind of development on that land. It has been an eyesore ever since I moved to Carm-el Valley almost 12 years ago. It is time for that va-cant parcel to be turned into something that benefits the community.

Opponents of the de-velopment complain that it will change the character of the community. It will cer-tainly change the character of the block. But Carmel Valley itself cannot change significantly, because the community is pretty much built out already. The neigh-borhoods are likely to be un-changed. The character of Carmel Valley is neverthe-less likely to be affected by changes in the surrounding

areas. New developments are already adding housing to Torrey Hills. When devel-opment in Pacific Highlands Ranch resumes, the hun-dreds of new households will affect Carmel Valley far more than One Paseo will. Carmel Valley resources will be tested, including Carmel Valley commercial resources. It may well need the retail services One Paseo promises to bring. At any rate, Carmel Valley cannot let the world pass it by. It is going to change, largely because of factors over which it has ab-solutely no control.

Some of the arguments against One Paseo border on the silly. No parks are in-cluded in the plan, so resi-dents of One Paseo will overwhelm local parks? I haven’t noticed much crowding at local parks so far, and I don’t see how 1,600 new residents will change that. Perhaps Kilroy will plan a park in One Pas-eo and make the objection moot. One Paseo “violates” the general plan? General plans are not cast in stone. They are just that, general

plans that evolve with the community with input from the community. And we are giving community input right now.

Traffic impacts, howev-er, do need to be addressed. Opponents claim that traffic will “impose gridlock” on “already congested” roads and “overwhelm” Carmel Valley. I wonder how many have actually read the traffic portion of the draft environ-mental impact statement. There will be long-term neg-ative impacts that do war-rant concern, particularly along Del Mar Heights Road at Camino Real and High Bluff and at the ramps to In-terstate 5. Mitigation at the interchanges with I-5 is largely the responsibility of Caltrans, which may or may not cooperate with the city. The DEIR points out that the High Bluff and El Cami-no Real interchanges would be no better than marginally acceptable whether One Pas-eo is built or not. Still, these impacts may be unavoidable costs of One Paseo, and we do have to decide whether they are costs we are willing

to pay in exchange for the services One Paseo will offer.

Contrary to what the opponents say but accord-ing to the DEIR, most of the other impacted roads and intersections can be mitigated to satisfactory levels (satisfactory at least as far as traffic engineers are concerned), with two exceptions. El Camino Real between San Dieguito Road and Via de la Valle and Via de la Valle be-tween San Andres Drive and El Camino Real are unacceptable now and un-likely to improve until San Dieguito Valley is no lon-ger considered to be envi-ronmentally sensitive land. They are also largely in Del Mar, and it is fair to ask whether Carmel Valley should be hamstrung by the needs of Del Mar.

I need to point out, also, that much of the oppo-sition to One Paseo is fund-ed by Del Mar Highlands Shopping Center. There is nothing wrong with that; Kilroy is funding most of the support of One Paseo. But I can question whether

it is a good business deci-sion. To the extent that Del Mar Highlands becomes more desirable by the pres-ence of One Paseo, it will benefit from the upscale businesses it attracts and in-creased rents it collects. If anyone is entitled to be up-set, it is Piazza Carmel, which is more likely to be hurt by the competition. But it has not, to my knowledge, done much if anything to complain. By funding (dare I say orchestrating?) the op-position, however, Del Mar Highlands looks to be only self-serving and possibly misinformed.

It does no good to criti-cize and find fault without proposing alternatives. Something needs to be done with the block. It is one of the few unimproved tracts of land in the area, and it stands out more like a sore thumb every day it goes un-improved. Approve One Pas-eo, tell Kilroy to come up with something less ambi-tious, or turn it into a park. But do something.

Forgive me if I don’t shed a tear for all the Car-mel Valley whiners com-plaining about the hor-rors of increased traffic, tax revenues and more workers coming from the One Paseo project. I guess you won’t be attending the Del Mar Fair, horse

races, the beach or Fiesta Del Sol this year. Don’t get me wrong, we’d love to have you over here on the West side of the free-way, but you’d sort of look like hypocrites and we don’t wish that.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

When I began smok-ing at the age of 15, I’d sneak a cigarette every now and then with no idea that it would become a lifelong habit. But shortly I was hooked – and it took nu-merous quitting attempts over 30 years for me to fi-nally kick the habit.

It disheartens me to see the lies and false propa-ganda Big Tobacco portrays in their multi-million dol-lar campaign against Prop-osition 29. Big Tobacco wants you to believe that Proposition 29 will hit the average family pocketbook – but it won’t.

If passed, Prop 29

would require that smokers pay an extra $1 a pack for their cigarettes. Good! It’s estimated that with this tax youth will be priced out, and more than 200,000 kids like-ly will be prevented from be-coming smokers. It will also fund lifesaving research and create community programs to help people quit.

If cigarettes cost more when I was 15, I probably wouldn’t have started. It’s time for California voters to stand up for our future generation and vote Yes on Prop 29.

We Delmari-ans will soon have an oppor-tunity to transform our down-town from a car-cen-tric area to a pedestri-an-centric environment. We will finally be able to put into place the last element of the vision built into our Community Plan in 1975, a walkable, resident-serving downtown.

Not only will round-abouts and a two-lane con-figuration of Camino Del Mar civilize our downtown, it will put us on the leading edge of a world-wide trend, cited recently in the NY Times, of a “complete streets strategy that public rights of way should be for all of soci-ety — not just cars.”

Guided by our national-ly-recognized urban planner, Kathy Garcia, our draft Vil-lage Specific Plan moves us

up what the Brookings Insti-tution calls a “ladder of walkability,” from least to most walkable. And here’s the unintentional but wel-come outcome: it increases property values. We have known for a long time that our rigorous growth controls have been dramatically suc-cessful in enhancing real es-tate values. Walkability has a similar documented effect: “On average, each step up the walkability ladder adds...$82 per square foot to home values.”

It is counter intuitive, but narrowing from four to two lanes with round-abouts actually increases the carrying capacity of CDM. First, it is important to face the reality that the current traffic count ex-ceeds its capacity by more than 3,000 trips per day, creating cut- through pres-sure on nearby neighbor-hood streets (almost 8,000 per day during race and fair season). This transforma-tion would enable an in-crease of between 6,000 and 14,000 vehicles per day, although at a much slower and even flow rate.

Of course, we will never completely tame traffic, but this change will take some pressure off of neighbor-hoods and ultimately change “through driver” be-havior to use the freeway al-ternative. We will be come a “to” town more than a “through” town. And more work is being done on diver-sion and calming measures for neighborhood streets.

So what about pedestri-ans? The design calls for 10 or more feet of new sidewalk space. Crossing this narrow-er street will take less time and be safer. Crosswalks will be placed at all intersections, with pedestrian-activated signals. The roundabout de-sign intersections will ac-commodate 120 pedestrians an hour (300 percent of to-day’s volumes).

The draft plan is very detailed, covering parking, density and more, well worth our study time and input before we ultimately place it on the ballot. This is a breakthrough moment for Del Mar to finally realize our Community Plan’s vision of a walkable, human scale small town environment.

Walkable Del Mar, finally

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

I have been reading the comments in the Carmel Valley News for some time. (1) The consensus from resi-dents is that they like the shopping opportunities that the project will present. (2) Some feel that the project will help employment. (3) A few have spoken in favor of additional housing opportu-nities.

Those opposed cite (1) the additional traffic load which cannot be entirely mitigated based on the size and sheer volume of the project. (2) The project is not within the guidelines originally set by the com-munity plan. (3) Kilroy has been less than forthcoming and honest about the nature and extent of the project.

My observations: (1) As a 12-year resi-

dent of Carmel Valley, I have serious concerns about the One Paseo project as proposed by Kilroy Realty. I walk Carmel Valley regular-ly. I have walked the trail which borders the west of the project. A simple site line can be imagined from the top of the adjacent Neu-rocrine building, two stories high. Multiplying that by 8 and 10 story buildings gives a visual of the sight and air flow impairment that the proposed project will create. A walk along El Camino Real and through the Del Mar Highlands center com-pletes the picture. A 10-story office and 8-story office along that corridor will se-verely impact the western light and air along El Cami-

no Real that we currently enjoy. Deep shadows will prevail over El Camino that will permanently alter the character and ambiance of that street. The opponents are correct on this one. Kil-roy’s website and artist ren-derings not only focus on the shopping district only, but clearly avoid showing the extent of the building heights and the impact they will have on the surround-ing streets and walkways.

(2) I have not observed one comment lobbying for elimination of the project. All opposition is aimed at scaling back the project. There is a reason the com-munity plan was put in place and the reasons are just as material now as when they were initiated. Carmel Valley was never intended to be a city downtown. Yet that is what this project will look like if the building heights are retained.

(3) The argument for a stimulus to employment is a proposition that must be factored by the temporary nature of construction em-ployment, and the likeli-hood that a significant por-tion of the permanent em-ployment in the project it-self will be from out of area residents, i.e., retail, office and hotel minimum wage jobs. This only adds to the concern of the overwhelm-ing traffic impacts on the area.

(4) There are no other buildings in this area with the heights that Kilroy pro-poses. The only buildings

even close are the Marriott and US Bank at the far south end of El Camino at the 56 interchange. High Bluff and El Camino are essentially limited to two and three stories.

(5) Not one argument is made for the need for a five-story hotel. The hotels in the area are concentrated in a “hotel district.” Cur-rently an additional hotel is being constructed in the Valley Center, El Camino Real area, bringing the num-ber to four hotels.

(6) Those commenting on the additional housing are realtors and real estate-re-lated persons who stand to benefit from the inclusion of additional housing. There is a cogent argument being made that our recreation op-portunities are currently un-derserved, and that must be considered and mitigated. Additionally, original devel-opers in Carmel Valley built schools as part of their ap-provals. I have not heard of any such proposal here.

My opinion: One Pas-eo should not be approved as proposed. The project should retain the shopping element as that is what the residents want. The build-ing heights should be scaled back to no more than four stories. The hotel compo-nent should be eliminated. The housing component should only be approved if the developer can provide additional park, recreation and school facilities.

We are writing to say thank you for the role that this paper (and other local papers) played in publicizing a recent event at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Di-eguito in Solana Beach. We were very hap-pily surprised at the response the articles on our exhibit of Hmong story cloths and social forum elicited. Many friends and neighbors commented on an article they had seen, and the audience at the exhibit opening and social forum came from all parts of the county.

A young Hmong man, chairperson of the Education Committee of the Hmong Family Association of San Diego, told us that night about how surprised and de-lighted he had been to see the article about “his people” in a local publication. A nurse who had worked in Laos in the 1960s saw the article and came because it was the first time she’d seen anything about Laos in local publications for 20

years. Another woman saw the article in a doctor’s office and was so excited about at-tending that the receptionist helped her find her way to the fellowship. We believe the enthusiastic overall response and these individual stories illustrate so well the fact that local newspapers are essential to bringing our communities together.

We were interviewed by two reporters who were both remarkably young and re-markably good at what they do, and we so appreciated their expressed (and obvious) commitment to keeping print journalism alive in this world of instant communica-tion. After this experience, we are more than ever convinced that newspapers, espe-cially local ones that report local news to local people, play a vital role in creating and sustaining community. Thanks to all of you who make them happen.

Beware Carmel Valley! Scott Peters is not your advocate.

Several years ago Mr. Peters was our Councilman in the city of San Diego. He turned a deaf ear to requests from citizens to provide our region with any sort of public transportation and refused to support us. His response to those requests was that it was not financially advantageous to the city to provide transportation. He said this on

public radio and his aides said this on the phone.

Note that at the same time he support-ed this benefit for University City. Look at his record before you vote. Find out how he voted when he was our Councilman and what he has truly done during the interven-ing years.

On June 29 I will be re-tiring from Union Bank in Del Mar after almost 17 years of serving this wonder-ful community. I figured that I have spent more time in Del Mar than I have at home.

I’ll never forget my first day on the job in 1995. Standing on the back land-ing of the bank, looking at the Pacific and thinking that I am the luckiest banker in the world to be here. I still feel this way as I end my ca-reer in Del Mar.

I truly felt like the small town banker of times gone by. I saw children grow, go to college, get married and then have their children. I helped my friends (hard to call them clients) with their aging parents’ banking

needs. I was here to help with the passing of a parent, spouse or friend. I felt their sorrow because I, too, lost a friend. The chair at my desk was for anyone who wanted to stop by to say “Hi.” I heard stories of themselves, trips taken, family updates and new grandkids. Of course, I shared stories of my sons and their families. Somewhere in between sto-ries we got to banking needs. I was particularly close to the business com-munity as they worked hard each day to make a go of their dream business in Del Mar. I often told them they had more courage than most to be a small business owner with all the ups and downs.

Over the years I had the

opportunity to be involved, first with the Chamber and then the Del Mar Village As-sociation. I have met so many wonderful people through my community in-volvement. I admire the dedication of the residents, who work through so many community organizations, to make their Del Mar a bet-ter place.

I’m not riding off into the sunset as that would be tough with the ocean so close. I’m just finishing one chapter in my life and be-ginning another. I’ll surely see many friends here again. It is my hope that I helped in some small way to make our Del Mar a bet-ter place.

Until we meet againWalt Beerle

A fond farewell to Del Mar

To enact more building restrictions, a cadre of de-velopment foes frightens the community with man-sionization. Flaming the fear, the cadre cites a 7,000-square-foot house on an 8,000-square-foot lot.

The cited house does not justify a tocsin since the house buries half of its enclosed living space and augments a deck. The re-placing structure imposes no more than the previous structure. The current floor-area ratio limits surface size, and the harsh design-re-view-board constrains bulk and mass.

The cadre then falla-ciously argues that only building restrictions pre-serve Del Mar’s eclectic ar-chitecture. Del Mar built its putatively eclectic beach cottages in the absence of building restrictions. Those shabby cottages now face continued deterioration and eventual collapse. Cur-rent building constraints guarantee their replace-ments lack differentiation. As safety and mileage re-strictions make all cars simi-lar, tight building restric-tions make all homes simi-lar.

The current restrictions

already homogenize hous-ing; tighter restrictions only halt development through regulations and delays. Resi-dential development emu-lates the failed gas-station development.

To gentrify the residen-tial district and attract in-novative architects, Del Mar must jettison the design re-view board and relax cur-rent restrictions. Frank Lloyd Wright would never acquiesce to the judgments of the design review board or the complaints of ob-structive neighbors.

BY KAREN BILLINGHow does a talented Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks un-

der-15 Elite girls soccer team celebrate winning the state championship? By playing more soccer of course.

With their May 20 win of the Cal South National Championship still fresh on their cleats, the girls celebrated with a competitive parent-child soccer match and picnic on May 24, as is tradition after all their big wins. And this squad has had a lot of big wins.

“It’s the core of what we are and how I built this team from the ground up,” said Coach Felicia Kappes. “I’m a big believer in building camaraderie on and off the field.”

The Sharks were undefeated throughout the Cal South tournament, scoring 40 goals and only allowing five goals. They had some challenges in the eighth round but perse-vered and had a satisfying victory over Carlsbad Elite in the finals, who had beat them four weeks prior.

“It was a great comeback to redeem ourselves,” said Kappes of the 5-1 game. “It was a great win.”

For that final game, the girls found inspiration in a Mia Hamm quote, which they recited as a team before they hit the pitch.

“I am a member of a team and I rely on the team. I de-fer to it and sacrifice for it because the team, not the individ-ual, is the ultimate champion.”

“It gave us a little spark,” said co-captain Shelby Lee.The team will now head to the Far West Regionals, June

18-24, in Phoenix to try and turn their state championship into a best in the west title and a chance at nationals in July in South Carolina.

Kappes has been the coach of these Sharks for the last four years — the team moved over last year from Carmel Valley Manchester as Kappes accepted a position as the di-rector of coaching for the league.

The team is just about to start their next season, in the midst of finishing last year’s with this successful run.

“We are just very talented from defense to offense,” Kappes said. “This team is very special in so many ways, they’re more like sisters than teammates, they know each other so well which helps them continue to play at a high

level.”The “sisters” also consider Kappes to be a second mom,

saying she is there for them for whatever they need, wheth-er or not it is soccer related.

“Teams with male coaches had a different feel I think. She teaches us so much about life,” said Shelby.

Last year the team won the Nike United tournament in

Oregon, which not only pro-pelled them to number one in the country but also earned the entire squad a trip to Sweden, all expenses paid. They repre-sented the United States as a U-14 team.

“We’ve been on a great run since then,” Kappes said.

Kappes describes her girls as “ultra competitive.” Not only are they ranked highly but also nearly all will be headed to compete as student-athletes at Division 1 colleges.

“Soccer is life,” said one of the team’s three captains, Hai-ley Harbison.

The girls are together for practice three to four times a week, lots of running and hard work.

The three co-captains, Shelby, Hailey and Gianna Montini, speak with one eye fixed on the developing parent-child game, unable to conceal flinching when they see the other team has scored.

Reflecting on their Cal South run, Gianna said the quarterfinals were actually al-most like the final game be-cause it was against Legends

FC, a team with a very similar playing style. They were able to best them 2-0.

“The semis, we made it hard for ourselves,” said Hailey of the game against Exiles Black.

“We weren’t playing to our strengths,” echoed Gianna.

Once they were scored on, Hailey said the Sharks picked up their play and fought back for a 3-2 victory.

They were all happy about the 5-1 final, winning the championship and extending their season to the regionals.

“It just makes us feel so good,” said Gi-anna. “We get what we deserve because we worked so hard for so many years.”

Coach Kappes is confident in the Sharks’ chances in the Far West Regional later this month. She said her only concern is that weather will be a factor—it will be 100 degrees at 8 a.m.

U.S. President Barack Obama made headlines re-cently when he met with Af-ghanistan President Hamid Karzai to discuss NATO’s withdrawal from the strife-torn country within the next two years. There’s also a local man who had a memorable meeting recently with Karzai, but the discus-sion this time was focused on a different war — the eradication of polio.

Longtime Del Mar resi-dent Steve Brown has amassed numerous accom-plishments in Afghanistan under the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary, ranging in areas from education to health to technology. But one of the greatest feats he’s been a part of is Rotary’s po-lio immunization effort that’s amounted to more than $1 billion raised, which has helped eliminate polio in all but three coun-tries since 1987. One of those countries is Afghani-stan, and Brown met with Karzai in April to discuss how to get that country crossed off the list.

“Karzai said what we need to do is get the reli-gious leaders more involved

there,” said Brown, who was able to set up the meeting through Ryan Crocker, the U.S. Ambassador to Afghani-stan. Brown and Crocker are both from Spokane, Wash., and Brown connected with Crocker via email after fill-ing in for him as a speaker on Afghanistan at a Rotary district conference in Wash-ington. The fact that the Ro-tary has been a driving force in eradication in other countries was helpful in se-curing such a high-profile meeting.

“The Rotary has spent $1 billion of members’ mon-ey and has major legitimacy on this,” Brown said.

In Afghanistan, reli-gious leaders are trusted and looked up to, and that’s why Karzai identified involving them as a solution to the country’s polio problem.

“The challenge is a communication challenge. Nobody is against the effort, but in some areas there is active fighting and suspi-cion. [Karzai] said he wants to do more to get this done,” Brown said.

Brown’s involvement in Afghanistan began soon af-ter 9/11, when he made a personal promise to do his part in making another at-tack less likely. He stepped down as a partner and attor-ney at San Diego’s oldest firm, Luce, Forward, Hamil-ton & Scripps, to work full-time as a volunteer Rotarian.

“I pay for an office, but I’m only doing service work,” said Brown, who spends his days correspond-ing about various projects with those on the other side of the world via Skype and email. “I spend more time on this type of thing than I ever did practicing law.”

One of Brown’s first

major efforts, which he spearheaded with fellow lo-cal Rotarian Fary Mioni, was building a school in Jalala-bad that houses more than 4,000 children.

He’s made 12 trips to Afghanistan to meet with representatives of the school and assess their needs. He said it’s important to make the trip for moral support, however, he has not been able to go there for two years.

“The school is in an area that’s now considered highly insecure … It’s dan-gerous, and I don’t want to put the school at risk if we were to go there,” he said, adding that it’s widely known in Jalalabad that the school is built by Americans. “The situation is probably not going to change for a while. The place is crawling with Taliban.”

Brown said education has been his primary focus in Afghanistan, and he’s made great strides at the Nangarhar University, locat-ed just outside Jalalabad. He’s created a female dormi-tory and a satellite-based computer lab there, and he’s also brought numerous pro-fessors to San Diego on ex-changes.

He has also connected an Afghani man who owns a CT scan machine to a doc-tor at the University of Cali-fornia, San Diego, and put in place technology to send imagery from Jalalabad to La Jolla.

“The doctor said he knows in the last six months he’s saved more lives in Af-ghanistan than he’s saved in his 30 years of practice,” Brown said.

Brown has taken on the role of finding funding from various sources and making good use of funding that has been made available to Af-ghanistan. He has found that this is no small feat.

BY JOE TASHDon’t “agonize” over the start of a piece of writing,

but instead just get it written, a best-selling author re-cently told three local high school students. Once the first draft is completed, the author said, the writer can polish the beginning. “All writing is about re-writing,” he said.

Writer and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore dis-pensed the advice before his talk at the monthly meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society on May 18 at the Grand Del Mar hotel. Montefiore was on hand to discuss his latest book, “Jerusalem,” a history of the Middle East-ern holy city, and the students were winners of an essay contest sponsored by the Literary Society.

Montefiore, 46, of London, used his time with the students to lay out a half-dozen writer’s rules. He advised students that if they come up with a brilliant idea, not to share it with anyone. “In literature, like in espionage, careless talk can cost lives.”

In 1991, Montefiore told the students, he traveled to the Caucasus, a region bordering Europe and Asia, which includes the Russian separatist enclave of Chechnya, Ar-menia, Azerbaijan, and parts of Iran and Turkey. At the time, Montefiore said, few other Western reporters worked in the area, and newspapers ranging from the New York Times to the Times of London were eager to publish his stories, even though he was not an estab-lished journalist.

“That led to my whole career, that first trip,” said Montefiore, who has written several historical volumes and one novel, all about either Russia or the Middle East. “Find some wrinkle in the weird material of the world no one else knows about.”

The students, accompanied by their parents and teachers, sat on sofas and upholstered chairs around Montefiore in the hotel’s spacious lobby. Montefiore, a compact man with close-cropped light-brown hair and blue eyes, wore a white button-down shirt, a Navy sport jacket and dark slacks.

BY LINDA HUTCHISONLiving as we do in San

Diego County, homes sprawled from ocean to des-ert, around canyons, la-goons and bays, it’s not sur-prising we share space with much wildlife. Most of us are used to waking up to songbirds, watching hum-mingbirds hover in our gar-dens or gulls swoop down from high wires. And we are not always surprised when we open our front doors to see an opossum on the porch. But what do we do if we find abandoned baby rabbits in the garage or an injured animal or bird in the driveway?

We can turn to Project Wildlife, an organization that has been helping San Diegans live in balance with wildlife for 40 years. What started in 1972 as a husband and wife team rescuing wild animals in Alpine and train-ing others to do the same has since grown into one of the largest non-profit wild-life rehabilitation organiza-tions in the United States. The group takes care of ap-proximately 10,000 animals a year from more than 320 different species here in San Diego County, which is one of the most biologically di-

verse areas in the country, according to Sarah Whorley, Project Wildlife communica-tions manager.

Project Wildlife now in-cludes a full-time staff of nine, a part-time staff of 20-25 veterinary technicians, and approximately 525 vol-unteers who do everything from office work and educa-tional outreach to transport-

ing and caring for animals, cleaning cages and running rehabilitation centers in their homes. The organiza-tion operates two triage cen-ters where San Diego resi-dents can drop off injured or abandoned animals. The North County center in Carlsbad is open only from mid-April to mid-September, the busiest time of the year, when most baby animals are born. The central center, at 887½ Sherman St., off More-na Boulevard, is open year ‘round.

After being admitted, each animal is examined and stabilized, given water and food if necessary. If it is a bird, it stays at the center, where care can include incu-bation and round-the-clock feeding for neo-natals, until the birds are ready for larger cages and, finally, release back into the wild. About 80 percent of the animals brought to the center are birds; the most common are the house finch, the house sparrow, and the mourning dove.

Cedros Café- Ribbon Cutting Ceremony


BY KELLEY CARLSON

N ear the Scripps Pier, just above the sparkling blue Pacific, is the “green” Caroline’s Seaside Cafe.

Located on the eco-friendly UC San Diego campus, the restaurant — named for major Scripps supporter Caroline Nierenberg — offers organic, fair trade foods, and supports local businesses and farmers.

“You know you’re eating the best ingredi-ents we can possibly find,” owner/chef Giuseppe Ciuffa said.

The ingredients are assembled into breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes that are listed on electronic screenboards displayed above the front counter rather than on printed menus, cutting down on the restaurant’s paper use.

The morning menu contains healthful items such as Caroline’s Parfait with layers of mixed berries, organic vanilla yogurt and homemade granola; and specialties including the popular Housemade Buttermilk Pancakes, which can be garnished with blueberries, bananas or chocolate chips for an extra charge. About a half-dozen dishes are created from farm-fresh eggs, including the All-American Scramble with white cheddar and applewood bacon.

Soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers comprise the midday selections. One option is the Farmer’s Grilled Cheese, featuring

spring garlic-goat cheese spread, cheddar, grilled tomatoes and spinach between slices of sourdough bread. Ciuffa recommends the Chopped Salad, in which the ingredients vary by season. Currently, it’s a colorful mixture of corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, romaine, feta, carrots and a citrus vinaigrette. Top it with a protein such as salmon, and add a few drops from a bottle of O’Brother That’s Hot! organic jalapeno pepper sauce.

While there are plenty of healthful options, there are also “naughty” choices on the menu, Cuiffa said. One example is hamburgers — although they are made from hormone-free ground beef.

The combination of casual food selections and a laid-back atmosphere — with views

spanning from Black’s Beach to the Cove — draws a variety of people. There are UCSD students and professors, families with children, surfers in wetsuits, beachgoers in shorts and flip-flops, and ladies with Louis Vuitton bags. All of them find common ground at Caroline’s, as they walk up to the counter, place an order, and wait for the staff to bring their food. Music ranging from Latin jazz to dance/techno and popular styles can be heard in the background.

Some patrons settle in the main dining room, with its clean-cut, modern decor inspired by the ocean. The green and blue backsplash around the counter area is reminiscent of waves, with contemporary, pure-white furniture symbolizing the caps. There are very few visual distractions, as

guests are able to gaze outside at the shores through large, glass panes.

Other patrons sit outside on the terrace, an idyllic spot during a sunny day with a cool breeze. Many of them enjoy meals; some kick back with a beer, margarita or Bloody Mary.

Families with energetic kids will often set up in the grassy area at the bottom of Caroline’s stairs and let their little ones burn energy while having a picnic. Parents can choose fare for their youngsters from the children’s menu.

Some guests take their food down a few extra steps to the beach. “Relax, eat, enjoy and just realize how lucky we are to be where we live,” Ciuffa said.

A note about parking: The lot closest to Caroline’s — which is near the Scripps Seaside Forum — is reserved for the university during the week, but it’s fair game for everyone on the weekends. If it’s difficult to find a spot, one option is to park at La Jolla Shores and walk about 10 to 15 minutes along the beach, toward the pier, to the Caroline’s staircases.

A time of day that is typically calm is the morning during a weekday. It’s magical, Ciuffa said — the sun has just risen, it’s not quite hot, and there aren’t many people. “Have an early breakfast when it’s quiet and watch the day start,” Ciuffa said.

Patrons can see the Scripps Pier from Caroline’s terrace.

Caroline’s Parfait contains layers of mixed berries, organic vanilla yogurt and homemade granola.

BY KAREN BILLINGCarmel Valley resident Sean Rones

has invented a product he hopes will provide a sleek and chic alternative for storing single cup coffee maker K-Cup packs. Named Coffique, the product is a stylish counter-top holder that sits directly under a Kuerig K-Cup ma-chine.

QVC has been the first to jump on Rones’ product (patent pending) and he has been able to secure positive meetings with Bloomingdales and Ma-cy’s in New York.

“To get appointments is very diffi-cult, especially when it’s a new product and a single skew product,” said Rones, who will also meet with Williams & Sonoma and a few Canadian retailers.

Once vendor agreements are signed, Rones expects his product to sell well as he thinks there’s nothing else like it on the market. Adding to his confidence is the fact that Kuerig has sold 2.3 billion K-Cups and over 20 million machines since 2005.

“This sector is going to see explo-sive growth,” said Rones. “This could be the one in 10 product that makes it.”

His children, Talia, 5, and Jaden, 7, have been excited about dad’s Coffique invention succeeding, hoping it means a vacation to Cabo.

The invention came about as his family was seeking solutions to their K-Cup storage woes. Sean and his wife, Natalie, got their Kuerig last year after she looked at his year-end statement and noticed he’d spent $1,100 on Starbucks. The single-cup coffee maker uses small packets of coffee that look like creamers and they’ve got to be stored somewhere.

First, Rones bought a holder that took up too much counter space.“Every time you pulled a cup out, it left a void and my wife, being a perfectionist, kept

saying I needed to put one back in and it was driving me crazy,” Rones said.It also kind of looked like a spice rack and their kitchen already had too many “gadget-

y”-looking items on the counter that didn’t match the décor.

Local resident’s Coffi que line of holders alleviates challenges for single-serve coffee drinkers

The second holder Rones bought solved the space issue but was unat-tractive and looked like of-fice equipment.

“That one never made it to the kitchen counter,” Rones said.

After the second fail-ure, Rones, who has a back-ground in manufacturing other products and designs for third-party companies, made a joke that maybe he should design a custom one.

“At that point the light still didn’t go on in my head. Then my wife came home with a business mag-azine and I read about how many units Kuerig has sold and how popular the Kue-rig brand is,” Rones said. “The light finally went on.”

Rones said he was ad-ditionally inspired by the movie “Moneyball,” about Billy Beane, a Mt. Carmel High School alum — as is Rones.

“Seeing him put it all on the line and do some-thing different inspired me because I was thinking, I’m 46 and there’s not many job opportunities out there,” Rones said. “That’s when I really thought I

could make this idea into a reality.”In engineering the product, Rones went after what his

wife was looking for, something design-centric with a high-end aesthetic.

He wanted a simple functionality — when you open the drawer there is a turning carousel that makes it easy to find a selection. The carousel is hidden so no need to refill an empty spot.

The Coffique also goes underneath the Kuerig machine, acting as somewhat of a stand so it doesn’t take up any addi-tional counter space.

Rones hopes to continue his entrepreneurship in the coffee biz—when Kuerig’s patent is up, he’d like to look into making his own line of single-serve coffee K-cups.

To celebrate, that 11-day Cabo trip is booked for the summer.

Gypsy Doll Boutique partners with International Bipolar Foundation for fundraising event

On June 6, the newest boutique in La Jolla will hold a trunk show showcasing their jewelry, evening clutches and clothing. The Gypsy Doll Boutique, owned by Sabah Parker, opened its doors to the public just a few weeks ago, but her jewelry is not new to those flocking to her store. Sabah formerly owned a wholesale shop on Fay Street, but with the urging of her clients, opened two retail shops across from each other in the courtyard on Prospect St. across from George’s.

Bijou Amani, the jewelry label, is a mainstay in any girl’s jewelry box. Ask Julia Rob-erts, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah and the Desperate Housewives, all of whom own this line.

Shoppers will have an opportunity to see the entire wholesale line (not usually offered at the boutique), as well as evening clutches and fashionable clothing. Those who want to stop by before going to dinner can indulge in a glass of wine and sample hors d’oeuvres catered by La Dolce Vita Ristorante next door. For the first 20 clients to spend a minimum of $500, there will be a drawing to receive $1,000 shopping spree at the store. If Sabah weren’t already generous enough, she will also be donating 20 percent back from sales to the International Bipolar Foundation. Guests do need to register for this shopping extrava-ganza and will be rewarded with a free parking pass and discount coupons for area restau-rants. Please contact Ashley at [email protected] or call 858-764-2496. For more information, go to: www.InternationalBipolarFoundation.org. Gypsy Doll Boutique is located at 1237 Prospect Street, La Jolla, 92037.

Presenters included EWMS parents and professionals from the community at large, encompassing jobs in large corpora-tions, private practices, public service or-ganizations and more.

Academy, and Cassandra Go, a senior at La Jolla Country Day School, tied for second place and each won $500. The contest and the Literary Society are sponsored by Northern Trust, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and this newspaper.

In an interview with a reporter from this newspa-per before he met the stu-dents, Montefiore said he was on a multi-city tour to promote his book that in-cluded stops in Las Vegas, Desert Springs, La Jolla, Beverly Hills and Santa Bar-bara, along with his talk at the Grand Del Mar.

“I love America and I love being here,” he said.

Montefiore, who is Jewish, said one reason he wanted to write the book had to do with his own family’s ties to Jerusalem. A great-great-uncle, Moses Montefiore, made many trips to the city, even bring-ing back dirt from Jerusa-lem to be used for his own burial plot in England.

He said he also wanted to create a “fresh history” of Jerusalem because of its central role in three of the world’s major religions — Judaism, Christianity and Islam — as well as its prom-inence in Middle East poli-tics.

The 650-page book covers 5,000 years of histo-ry, “from King David to Obama and Osama,” said Montefiore. “It’s blood-thirsty, it’s dramatic and sometimes it’s funny.”

Along with being a his-torical account, said Monte-fiore, “You could read it like a mini-series of conquer-ors, empresses, adventuress-es and prophets.”

“It became the holy city because of the Bible,” Montefiore said. “The Bible is the biography of Jerusa-lem. When the Bible be-came the universal book of Middle Eastern and West-

AUTHORcontinued from page B1

ern civilization, Jerusalem came to life for everybody, wherever they were, from Massachusetts to Moscow.”

The connection be-tween America and Jerusa-lem is particularly strong, said Montefiore, because, “The Founding Fathers were people who absolutely be-lieved in the paramountcy of Jerusalem.”

On the night before his assassination, President Abraham Lincoln spoke of wanting to visit Jerusalem, and the city was also visited by the American writers Mark Twain and Herman Melville, among others, Montefiore said.

Montefiore said he had an American audience in mind when he wrote his book, and the volume seems to have hit its mark — re-cently, such political lumi-naries as former President Bill Clinton and former Sec-retary of State Henry Kiss-inger gave it rave reviews.

A visiting professor at Buckingham University in England, Montefiore often lectures on history and cur-rent political topics at schools, universities and conferences.

During his talk at the literary society luncheon, he described how Jerusalem’s population and prominence rose and fell over the years. “At times it’s been no more than a ruined monumental village with wonderful buildings,” he said.

He described a horrific siege of the town in AD 70 by Titus, son of the Roman emperor, in which thou-sands died, and the Roman soldiers crucified as many as 500 Jews each day.

Writing the book, he said, was a daunting task, because of Jerusalem’s long and complex history, and the scrutiny and criticism he knew the completed volume would face.

“I barely slept for three years,” he said.

“I realized if I pleased anybody too much, I’d have failed.”

“I’ve never found a place that’s easier to raise money for than Afghani-stan, and there’s two reasons for this,” Brown said. “One, because the story is fairly well told about the suffering of the Afghan people, espe-cially the suffering of the women under the Taliban. Two, because the U.S. gov-ernment has been pouring

tons of money into Afghani-stan.”

The possibilities are endless, the results are visi-ble, and he said that’s what keeps him so driven.

“All the time people come to me and say, ‘Here’s a project we’d like to fund. Can you implement it?’ and it just keeps going,” he said.

tion centers, categorized by type of animal (bat, opos-sum, fox, rabbit, raccoon, skunk, small mammal, hum-mingbird, raptor (owls, hawks, falcons, etc.), duck, songbird, and sea/shore-birds). The most common mammals brought to the center are the Virginia opos-sum and the cottontail rab-bit.

In the busy season, this can mean as many as 100 animals a day, with people lining up down the street ac-cording to Whorley. In the less busy months, the aver-age daily intake is about 10-15 animals. The amount of time animals spend recuper-ating varies from a few days to a few months, with the average being about 12 weeks.

About 40 percent of the animals people bring to the center survive, which is 8 percent above the national average. As soon as they re-cover, they are released back into their natural habitat, within three miles of where they were found.

As a non-profit organi-zation, with an annual bud-get of $1.3 million, Project Wildlife relies on its volun-teers and donations. In

2011, its volunteers contrib-uted approximately 80,000 hours, according to Whor-ley. The organization also brings in money from two of its services: wildlife ex-traction (helping people re-move animals safely and hu-manely) and educational outreach programs for schools, scouting, and other groups.

Project Wildlife’s educa-tional program won the third annual ECO Ambassa-dors People’s Choice Awards last year sponsored by The San Diego River Park Foun-dation, SDG&E, and KFMB-TV Channel 8. This support and positive feedback from the community was very gratifying, according to Whorley.

And the more we can learn about living in balance with wild animals the better, said Whorley.

One common misun-derstanding is that baby birds or animals have been abandoned if they are alone. Some mammals only check on their young every 12 hours, so it is best to wait. Some birds are fledglings learning to fly and can be put back in their nest or a makeshift nest. Another misunderstanding is that opossums are dangerous or dirty. “People think they are a nuisance or that they have rabies but that’s not true. They clean up rodents, in-sects, snails, fruit and gar-bage and are good to have around,” said Whorley.

Coldwell Banker announces ‘OutstandingPerformance Award’ winners

Diane and Joseph Sampson, owners of Samp-son California Realty, have strong connections to this country’s armed forces. Jo-seph Sampson was a prior Marine and Diane Samp-son’s son is currently a ROTC Officer Select at George Washington Univer-sity.

In honor of the men and women who protect this country’s freedom, Di-ane Sampson joined the Board of Directors for Wounded Warrior Homes, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping medi-cally discharged soldiers with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder. Wounded Warrior Homes’ mission is to pro-vide affordable housing, hands-on resources, and a defined path for soldiers to transition from active-duty military service to indepen-dent living as a veteran of foreign wars.

“A home is one of the simplest, yet most essential items in our lives. It is a comfort and a hideaway at the end of a long day – a place to call your own, a sign of independence. For the men and women who serve our country who have Traumatic Brain Injury, the independence we so easily take for granted is just out-side of their reach,” said a Wounded Warrior Homes representative.

“Providing homes for these brave men and wom-en can help them begin a new life once they are out of the hospital programs and nursing homes,” said Diane Sampson.

As part of Diane Samp-son’s work with Wounded Warrior Homes, Sampson California Realty will be sup-porting the Wounded War-rior Homes Warrior’s Code Poker Ride, a motorcycle ride fundraiser on Saturday, June 2, at Southbay Motors-ports in Chula Vista. With 2,000-3,000 attendees antici-pated, the event will feature live music, including the Amazing Band Cathouse Thursday, down-home BBQ and a Motorcycle Stunt Show by Kane “Insane” Fri-esen. It promises to be an amazing day, supporting a worthwhile cause!

To register or donate money to the Warrior’s Code Poker Ride, visit the SCR website at www.SCR-SanDiego.com.
