High school district board OKs bond policy SDUHSD seeks ‘fiscal responsibility and transparency’ regarding capital appreciation bonds

■‘Manufacturing Stokes’ headlines 2012 Del Mar Shores Cinema Series. Page 13

BY KAREN BILLING With San Dieguito Union High School District’s general obligation bond on the November ballot, the district board said it wants to ensure voters that what has recently happened in the Poway Unified School District will not happen in the San Dieguito district.

The board acted quickly to approve a new policy about using capital appreciation bonds (CABs) at its Aug. 16 meeting.

Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business, said there has been concern lately with school district bond financing structures using CABs, particularly

those with terms greater than 25 years. Long-dated CABs can result in a higher debt burden for general obligation bond issuers than other financing alternatives, as Poway Unified School district recently discovered.

Borrowing for the Poway District’s $105 million CAB over 40 years and not mak-

ing any payments on the debt for 20 years will now cost taxpayers in that district more than $981 million by 2051.

“In reaction to that, we want to make sure we can promise fiscal responsibility and transparency,” said Dill.

The policy uses language cribbed directly from

the San Diego County Taxpayers Association to ensure fiscal responsibility and transparency.

The policy states that the district will only pursue the issuance of CABs if it can be demonstrated that their use will result in less See BOND, Page 6

Man’s body found outside local home Circumstances described as suspicious

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE An investigation is continuing into the death of a radiologist whose body was found outside his home in the unincorporated Del Mar area (92014 zip code).

The body of Dr. Kenneth Howard Gerber, 62, was found the morning of Aug. 17 in a grove of palm trees outside his home in the the 4600 block of Sun Valley Road, according to sheriff’s Lt. Larry Nesbit.

A deputy was initially called out to assist fire personnel with medical aid. Although the deputy was not comfortable classifying Gerber’s death as natural, homi-

cide was not suspected until an autopsy was performed, Nesbit said.

A cause of death was not released.

In a case where an arrest has not been made, autopsy results are sealed to prevent false confessions or statements, Nesbit said. The results would remain sealed until an arrest was made, he said. ``The cause is only known to the person that murdered him,’’ Nesbit said. ``It has the potential to negatively effect our investigation.’’

SDUHSD superintendent postpones contract renewal

Del Mar Union School District enrollment continues to shift

BY KAREN BILLING While it was on the Aug. 16 agenda to extend San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Ken Noah’s contract for another three years, Noah asked that the board not renew his contract and not revisit the topic until after the November elections.

Cell towers on high school district sites to be discussed in future

BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Ken Noah remarked at the Aug. 16 meeting that the district has taken a lot of criticism about the process they went through on the proposal to place cell tower arrays on the Canyon Crest Academy campus.

“The buck stops here,” Noah said, confirming that cell sites at CCA are completely off the table.

Noah said there are some things in the handling of the cell tower issue that they would’ve done differently in hindsight but others they might have done the same.

Their previous experience hadn’t shown

them that there would be such concerns about the issue — they’d never had those problems before. They looked at the cell arrays as a way to partner with a local business and also as a revenue source.

Noah said he would like to bring back a discussion at a future date about whether they would entertain cell towers at any SDUHSD school and if the answer is that they should, then what process would they take in consideration of that. If the board is uncomfortable with cell sites at schools on a whole, it would simply be taken off the table as an option. No timeline has been set for the discussion.

Del Mar City Council election will be held •Three candidates running for three seats Three candidates will seek votes for three seats on the Del Mar City Council Nov. 6: Al Corti, incumbent Don Mosier and Sherryl Parks.

Mayor Carl Hilliard and councilmember Mark Filanc have decided not to seek re-election.

Even though only three candidates are vying for three seats an election will still be held as the election will determine the order that these candidates will serve as the Deputy Mayor and Mayor, based on City Council policy.

The City will also have two propositions on the November ballot. Proposition H, brought forward through the Citizens’

Initiative Process, asks voters “shall the ordinance which proposes the regulation of medical marijuana compassionate use dispensaries and alters the City’s sales tax laws be adopted?” A full copy of the proposed ordinance is available in the City Clerk’s office and at www.delmar.ca.us.

Proposition J will ask voters “shall Ordinance 869 approving the Village Specific Plan as approved by the Del Mar City Council, which, without raising taxes, implements the Del Mar Community Plan by: creating a pedestrian-oriented downtown with plazas, wider sidewalks and landscap-

Del Mar school district forms committees to help clarify roles of support groups

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District has formed committees to develop objectives and action steps regarding how groups like Del Mar Schools Education Foundation and PTAs can work to meet their goals while supporting the district mission.

District superintendent Holly McClurg said she hopes the process clarifies what the purpose of the different groups is and helps them work collaboratively and achieve their individual goals.

“Strategic Planning Action Teams” will meet in September and October: “A Funding Action Team” and an “External Relations Action Team,” both with representatives from DMSEF and PTA. A board workshop will be held in November to share the action items that come

out of the planning teams.

The process also hopes to clean up the confusion over how the district accepts donations. Last year, the board was placed in a difficult position as Del Mar Heights parents donated over $15,000 with the intent of paying for a Spanish teacher, which was perceived by the board to be a consultant, not a teacher. When it was found the money was for a teacher, which is what the foundation fundraises for, the board could not approve the contract (according to its own rules) and the Spanish program had to be cancelled.

Parents in attendance admitted being a little confused about the agenda item but hoped it would help the issues they have with PTA and foundation fundraising.

Del Mar council approves removal of 80-foot Torrey Pine An 80-foot endangered Torrey Pine tree in Del Mar will soon be tagged for removal, after a local conservationist who works to save rainforests won a permit to remove it from his 15th Street home.

The issue boiled down to the city choosing sides on two completely different arborist reports — one ordered by applicant Ivan Gayler saying the tree was a safety hazard and one commissioned by neighbors Charles and Kathryn Brinton who appealed the decision, saying the tree imposed no threat.

“Our protection of the rare and endangered Torrey Pine only makes our community more beautiful and protects our quality of life,” said Kathryn Brinton, whose home shares the shade of the conifer’s canopy. Another neighbor testified that she would like to see the tree remain intact.

An arborist hired by the city revealed that the tree’s lean has increased over the years and could collapse on a windy, wet day. It also documented an air pocket underneath the roots and soil heaving at the tree’s base, which are additional signs the tree could fall.

The appellants’ arborist said that the tree’s lean was due to phototropic growth — growing toward the sun — and was not dangerous. — Claire Harlin

Del Mar Community Connections launches preparedness initiative There are a lot of elderly people in Del Mar, and much of the Del Mar community is aging. Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC) has launched a program to help the older population be prepared in the case of an emergency.

The program, Neighborhood Emergency Support Team (NEST), utilizes volunteer neighbors of participants who agree to become “buddy neighbors.” Del Mar resident and DMCC board member Carol Kerridge said at an Aug. 20 Del Mar City Council meeting that the program has been particularly successful so far.

She said participants are asked to fill out a form to keep in their home with vital information such as their next of kin, their medical history and prescriptions. DMCC also administers a baseline survey of essential items needed in the home.

“I have to say that we’ve found a lot of [seniors] are really not prepared,” Kerridge said.

DMCC has identified five types of disaster and educates “buddy neighbors” about what to do in the case something happens. Neighbors have been very responsive and have even agreed to take participants to evacuation centers if needed.

DMCC was awarded $6,000 from the County Supervisor’s office to make disaster preparation videos, and they have already begun working with Del Mar TV to put those educational materials together.

“It’s all falling into place really well,” Kerridge said.

Council recognizes gold medal-winning Olympian from Del Mar

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Del Mar native Rachel Buehler, also known as “the Buehldozer,” was honored with a proclamation on Aug. 20 by the Del Mar City Council for her Olympic gold medal-winning participation on the U.S. women’s national soccer team at the 2012 London Olympics.

Buehler, a Torrey Pines High School alumnus, also helped her team win a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and a silver medal at the World Cup in 2010. Her recent feat was of a 2-1 victory over Japan in front of a crowd of more than 80,000 at the well-known Wembly Stadium.

“With all of Rachel’s athletic accomplishments on the soccer field her most noticeable quality is that of her heart,” read Mayor Carl Hilliard from the official proclamation.

“Whether it is on the soccer field or in the classroom, or with neighbors or friends, what makes Rachel unique is the heart that she brings to all that she does.”

The proclamation continued, “Not only is she a tremendous athlete, she is also incredibly humble, kind and intelligent. She is the quintessential role model, and Del Mar is fortunate to have her as an ambassador for women’s soccer in the community.”

New Del Mar Schools Education Foundation President planning variety of fundraising efforts •Community 5-K to be held in December children, not my job or my career,” Caterina said. “ And when I recovered, I knew that I wanted to do something meaningful for them. And helping DMSEF raise more money for education was my meaningful action.”

She felt like her background in non-profits could bring invaluable experience to the table and help the foundation build its fundraising base.

“I asked myself ‘Why not do it?’” Caterina said, “And I think it is an important message to all parents. We care. We have a choice. Let’s make the most of it!”

It’s easy just to say that the ESC program is valuable but Caterina would like to find a way to measure those benefits.

She spoke to one former student who said she saw a huge benefit from her science lab instruction in grade school once she entered a high school science class at CCA. The student felt that she was prepared over some other students without that same lab experience.

“It did give her an advantage. It’s also an advantage in art class, she knew what a horizon line was and perspective,” Caterina said. “She said it gave her much more confidence in terms of being successful in high school programs.

I think probably that’s the message that’s most important.”

Caterina said she knows parents understand that value, but she hopes to get that message across to their corporate matching donors as well, so they can see how what the children in the district are learning now will help them through high school, college and beyond.

Corporate matches have played a big role in fundraising efforts in past years and it’s something she hopes more parents will take advantage of as a way to boost their contribution.

With foundation events, she hopes to add more and to see them represent each of the five subject areas.

The 5K would represent PE, an art auction could represent art, and a science fair could promote science, for example. With all of the events, she hopes to draw from a larger portion of the community, not just district parents.

“The parent base has been incredibly supportive of the foundation but let’s be honest, we need to raise $2 million,” Caterina said. “I really want to hit that mark this year.”

Another one of Caterina’s goals is to increase communication with parents so that they can see how the foundation works. She would like to get parents more engaged and interested so they feel good about donating and know exactly what the money is used for.

They will be at Back to School events in the coming weeks to meet new parents and explain their mission and the value of the ESC program, particularly kindergarten parents who will be with them for several years.

Also different this year is that meeting sites will rotate between the schools. The first meeting will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at Del Mar Hills with the Oct. 10 meeting moving to Torrey Hills. She encourages parents to come and meet the new board members and get educated and involved in the process.

Caterina is very excited about the new foundation board members.

“They are a phenomenal group…they see the big picture and want to have the best possible situation for our kids,” Caterina said.

The board includes Rand Steiger, a UCSD music professor representing Del Mar Hills; Dr. Richard Moon, a Kaiser Permanente physician representing Sycamore Ridge; Ying Yang, a certified project management professional representing Carmel Del Mar; and David Wojtkowski, a commercial pilot representing Carmel Del Mar. Carolyn Hawley serves as the new vice president of marketing, Wojtkowski is treasurer, Deborah Finucane is secretary, Yang is vice president of administration, Branden Belforf is vice president of electronic communications,Glenn Collins is vice president of affinity and Colleen Guiltinan is the office administrator.

The vice president of events remains open and there are also board representative positions open at Del Mar Heights, Ashley Falls, Sage Canyon, Torrey Hills and Ocean Air School.

The foundation can have up to 15 representatives and they are interested in the possibility of having two or three

BY KAREN BILLING New Del Mar Schools Education Foundation President Amy Caterina hopes to help the fundraising organization make big strides this year and she means that literally. One of her plans for this year’s efforts includes a community-wide 5K race in December, getting the community out running to support district’s extended studies curriculum of art, music, PE, science and technology.

“I think it’s going to be a fabuAmy Caterina lous event,” said Caterina, noting that she’s already working with the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on the event and Ocean Air parents have taken the organization reins.

“We are really excited to add this event.”

Caterina has some lofty goals to get the foundation running stronger than it ever has before.

“My overall goal is that we set up an organization that can effectively raise $5 million a year,” Caterina said. “I realize that sounds aggressive, but we live in a financially unstable world and we need to be prepared to continue to provide our children with the best education.”

Caterina has had two children attend Del Mar Hills School—her oldest daughter now attends Canyon Crest Academy and her son is an incoming fifth grader.

She comes from a 20-year background in public relations and investor relations, and for the last seven years she has been working with non-profits on consulting, including the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network and the San Dieguito River Park.

While she has always donated to the foundation and been an active school volunteer, the decision to get more involved came from a dramatic life change. Almost five years ago, Caterina was diagnosed with stage III cancer and had to undergo painful treatments with significant side effects.

New director takes helm at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center

BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Developing personalized cancer treatment is just one specialty Scott M. Lippman, M.D., 57, brings to his new job as director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. As he circles back to his California roots after de- Scott M. Lippman, M.D., cades of extenbecame the new director sive cancer research in Texas, of UC San Diego Moores Lippman brings Cancer Center in May. to the center, years of experience in clinical trials.

Lippman graduated from Grossmont High School in El Cajon and attended UC Irvine on a tennis scholarship.

He said he figured he would study medicine for a few years while he competed in the sport, his passion. Ultimately, he completed his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University.

After hematology training at Stanford, Lippman finished his hematology/oncology fellowship at the University of Arizona where he met his wife, Mary.

After they married, he accepted a position at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.

“I had to bring my wife kicking and screaming. She didn’t want to go,” he said. “I promised I’d be there about five years, and we were there 24 years.”

During that time, Lippman received numerous funds from the National Cancer In-

stitute (NCI) for his research, serving as the principal investigator in clinical trials that included translational/molecular studies of cancer risk and personalized therapy using molecular-targeted drug development.

“What’s changed in terms of treatment in cancer is (the recognition, realization) that every patient is different,” Lippman said. “I really want to be able to make a clinical impact in such specialized treatment.”

He said the La Jolla location is a prime opportunity for delivering such care with its concentration of three NCI-designated cancer research centers – out of 41 nationwide.

He also wants to take advantage of the proximity to the county’s hundreds of biotech companies, explaining that 90 percent of drugs approved for cancer treatment come from biotech industries that he visions he will one day work with directly.

Lippman succeeds Dennis A. Carson, M.D., as director of the cancer center. Carson noted it was a hard job to fill because the patients are very ill and there’s a lot of responsibility that goes along with the university.

“Dr. Lippman’s expertise in patient care, administration, and also clinical research made him fit the bill,” Carson said. “He led a very big program in head and neck cancer, and lung cancer, and was very involved in treatment and drug trials.”

Carson said the new $670 million UCSD Jacobs Medical Center that is expected to open a phase of floors in 2015, will ultimately have more than double the beds the current center has, and about half of the patients will be UCSD patients as they move to a referral-based system.

“Moores has a huge influx of patients. It needs cancer-centric leadership,” he said.

“Dr. Lippman has a lot of experience dealing with what’s happening now with cancer.”

CONTRACT continued from page 1 goals. “I’m much less interested in terms of my contract than I am about the quality of the relationship between the board and myself.”

He said after Nov. 6, the seated board will decide about the quality of that relationship and elect whether to keep him on and for how long.

“The last thing I would want is to have a contract that bound me to a board that didn’t want me as superintendent,” Noah said.

Trustee Joyce Dalessan-

dro said that however his statements may sound to the public, the board is happy with him as the superintendent. He recently went through his evaluations and received an outstanding review, she said.

“His work for this district has been tremendous and invaluable,” Dalessandro said. “We’re hoping he’ll be with us for many years to come.

In the Nov. 6 elections, two seats on the SDUHSD are up for grabs as Dalessandro’s and Hergesheimer’s terms are up. Both are up for re-election against candidates Graham Ledger and Steven McDowell.

ENROLLMENT continued from page 1 Aug. 15, the district will open the school year with 196 classrooms, down from last year’s 199. There is one less classroom at Del Mar Hills, Ashley Falls and Sycamore Ridge.

While there is one less classroom, it doesn’t mean there are less students, he said.

While last year the district only had one combination class (when grades are combined), it is looking at opening with five combination classes at Ashley Falls, Carmel Del Mar, Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Hills and Ocean Air. “We do our best to avoid that if we can but at a certain point we don’t have any options,” Asfazadour problems.

Gerber’s $1.6 million home had been foreclosed on and another house he owned in Solana Beach was foreclosed on in 2009, U-T San Diego reported. Gerber filed for bankruptcy in December and the case was discharged in April, according to the paper.

Nesbit said sheriff’s officials were aware of the victim’s financial issues. ``We are digging into that, but we don’t have enough to say at this point whether it is or isn’t related to those issues,’’ Nesbit said.

Sheriff’s officials asked anyone with information on Gerber’s death to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321, after hours at (858) 565-5200 or to contact Crime Stoppers at (888) 5808477.

said.

This year’s addition of Option Areas for attendance has had a positive effect, he said. So far 12 students have opted to go to Ashley Falls from the Sage Canyon and Sycamore Ridge option area, 11 students opted for Carmel Del Mar from the Del Mar area and 56 students have opted out of Ocean Air to attend Sage Canyon and Torrey Hills, helping offset the crowded campus.

The district’s goal remains to keep students in their neighborhood schools without involuntary transfers but at last week’s meeting, 21 new students are impacted by involuntary transfers.

FOUNDATION

continued from page 4 representatives for the larger schools, such as Sage Canyon and Ocean Air, “My feeling is the more the merrier,” Caterina said.

Last school year the foundation raised $1.17 million for the district, achieving the highest parent-led donation level in the foundation’s history. Caterina said she would like to thank the outgoing board members who made the feat possible: President Drew Isaacman, Bob Shopes (vice president and Del Mar Hills rep), Claire Lemon (secretary and Torrey Hills rep), Erin Morgan (treasurer and Torrey Hills rep), Amy Duncan (Del Mar Heights rep), Debby Romine (Sycamore Ridge rep), Paula Moore (vice president of marketing) and Beth Folkerth (Carmel Del Mar rep).

While working on additional career success, local singer strives to give back Mercer’s ‘Looking Glass fundraiser’ set for Sept. 7

BY ROB LEDONNE Solana Beach resident Torrey Mercer may just be one of many sophomores at UC Irvine, but she certainly stands out in a big way thanks to a burgeoning singing career which she has been pursuing since a young age. “My heart and soul is music and it’s something I definitely want to pursue in life,” she explains. “If everything went my way and I had the career of my dreams, it would be to get signed to a record label and perform.”

Mercer realizes that’s no easy feat, which is why lately she’s been pushing herself more and more to make inroads in the industry. Trekking from gig to gig around Southern California, studying musical theater at Irvine, and managing her own career with the help of her mother, Beth, are all pushing her closer to her supreme goals. In addition, she has released a variety of tracks, most of which she’s written; the latest, “Looking Glass,” has a positive message about self-worth. “’Looking Glass’ is meant to speak to people, have them relate, and help them through tough times,” she explains of the new single available on iTunes now. “My purpose in releasing this song, and a major focus of mine, is to help people through music.”

It’s that focus and drive to help others which leads Mercer to support various charities and taking part in events that are aimed at giving back to the community, and the track “Looking Glass” is tied to an event she herself is planning. “The idea for the event came about in June,” says Mercer. “I thought about doing a fundraiser for some charities and, at the same time, to promote the song.” The result of which is “The Looking Glass Fundraiser,” a night on Sept. 7 full of performances by Mercer and her peers, all aimed towards raising money for organizations such as the American Society for Suicide Prevention and the National Eating Disorder Association. Says Mercer: “I feel like (these charities) aren’t supported enough based on all of their efforts. They go unrec-

Torrey Mercer ognized most of the time, and I think that’s unfortunate.”

Besides Mercer, some artists in the show were chosen because they are active in charitable work themselves. James Morris, an area singer backs anti-drug organization Natural High, and Tali Rappaport is one of the founders of I Am Norm, which celebrates diversity. Both charities will get a chunk of funds raised from the show.

Even though the event is named after the single she is trying to promote, Mercer is quick to point out she frowns upon people who use charity for their own personal agendas.

“I hate that people sometimes associate with charity just for their own gain, the focus should be on the charity. I’m all about these causes because I have really close friends who’ve been through hard times that these charities support,” said Mercer, who is also active in anti-bullying efforts.

Last summer she went on a cross-country bus tour to perform her positive message tracks, and recently spoke at Balboa Elementary concerning anti-bullying as well.

Between school, performing gigs, the theater schedule at Irvine, and other jobs, Mercer admits she rarely has any free time.

“Most kids my age work all through the week and party on the weekend. But instead of partying, I’m doing shows whenever I’m not at school or working.” All of that hard work seems to be paying off, one of her biggest highlights so far was performing the national anthem before a Chargers game in front of an excess of 50,000 people.

Throughout it all her mother Beth is understandably proud: “ She’s doing something she loves and helping others at the same time, I’m very happy about that. She juggles a lot, but I think it’s awesome.”

“The Looking Glass Fundraiser” will be held on Friday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m., at Queen Bee’s Cultural Arts Center, 3925 Ohio Street, San Diego, www.queenbeessd.com.

San Diego attorney and local resident Dick Semerdjian sworn in as chair of American Bar Association Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section Schwartz Semerdjian Ballard & Cauley, LLP recently announced that on Aug. 5 at the American Bar Association (ABA) annual meeting in Chicago, partner and Carmel Valley resident Dick Semerdjian was sworn in as the chair of the ABA Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS). Semerdjian, who specializes in civil litigation and trial practice, has completed a twoyear leadership track as an ABA officer with positions of chair-elect and vice-chair. Semerdjian will be Dick Semerdjian the first chair ever in the 80-year history of the ABA to practice in San Diego.

The ABA is the largest voluntary professional membership organization in the world, boasting more than 400,000 members. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

The ABA Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section is a national source of expertise in tort, trial and insurance law and brings lawyers together to share information and speak out on issues of importance. The section has more than 32,000 members and 34 general committees that focus on substantive and procedural matters in areas across the broad spec-

trum of civil law and practice.

“It’s an honor to take this position,” Semerdjian said.

“I’ve enjoyed my service to the ABA, and specifically the TIPS section, for nearly two decades. I consider this an opportunity to take my leadership to the next level.”

Semerdjian has been a dedicated member of the ABA since 1986 when he first began practicing law. In 1994, he was appointed by the State Bar of California to the ABA House of Delegates where he served for nine years and gained insight into the policy and legislative arm of the association. Today, he continues as vice-chair of the Business Litigation Committee — one of the most successful committees in the TIPS section.

Over the years, Semerdjian has made positive contributions to the many TIPS General and Special Standing Committees in which he’s been involved. In addition, he has served as a faculty member for the National Trial Academy in Reno, Nevada, and in 2009 and 2012, he addressed the ABA/TIPS International Law Committee in Tsinghua University and at the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in Beijing, China, speaking on the subjects of legal challenges to Chinese companies doing business in the United States and litigation in America. He is currently a liaison for the ABA Standing Committee on Judicial Independence and ABA American Jury Project.

On a local level, he has been on the Board of Governors for the San Diego County Bar Association, president of the San Diego Barrister’s Club, on the board of the San Diego Trial Lawyers Association (now Consumer Attorneys of San Diego), a member of the Judicial Nominations Committee for the San Diego’s Lawyers Club and acted as chairman for

the San Diego International Sports Council and Foundation (now the San Diego Sports Commission/Hall of Champions trustee), chair of the UCSD Athletic Board and member of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation, Torrey Pines Pop Warner and Solana Beach Little League Board of Directors.

Respect and professional acknowledgment have been plentiful for Semerdjian throughout his career. He has been selected for inclusion in “The Best Lawyers in America,” an honor based on an extensive review by peers, including more than 2.8 million confidential evaluations by top attorneys in the United States. And in San Diego, he was named as semi-finalist for top civil litigator in San Diego County by the San Diego Transcript. The Transcript also recognized him in 2006 and 2008 as a “Top Influential” and in 2006 as one of the “Ten Best Attorneys in San Diego.” San Diego Magazine regularly names Semerdjian as one of the “Top Attorneys in San Diego County” in the area of labor and employment law. He is recognized yearly as a “Super Lawyer” in the area of business litigation.

Semerdjian says he is excited to continue his leadership commitment to TIPS: “I thoroughly enjoy helping to shape policy for our profession. And in my experience with TIPS, I have met excellent attorneys and judges throughout the country and our clients know that our firm’s reputation extends far beyond San Diego County and that judges and attorneys throughout the country recognize our name and accomplishments. I am likewise very honored to become the chair during the 80th year anniversary of ABA TIPS.” For more information, visit www.sshbclaw.com.

Thousands of shoes were collected locally Aug. 18 for donation in support of Gawad Kalinga. These shoes will benefit the poor residents of the Philippines who cannot afford decent footware. The shoes are destined for the GK Villages, where they will be distributed to those who need them.

This was a project by Carmel Valley-based DonateYourOldShoes.org; La Salle Alumni Association of Southern California; and GK-USA (www.gk-usa.org). (The project falls under the iCare,iShare Consortium banner, according to Gary Legaspi, president, One La Salle Southern California. The iCare, iShare consortium is an informal group of organizations that come together and collaborate for a good cause for the benefit of others.)

According to Legaspi, “We loaded a total of 89 boxes. Sixty-one of which were the DonateYourOldShoes.org boxes and the rest (28) were the assorted size boxes. Approximately 350 pairs will be sent to La Salle Academy-Iligan for their continued relief project. Approximately 700 pairs will be sent to La Salle Greenhills for their current relief project.

“The balance will be sent to the GK Villages in Luzon for their relief and current projects. We filled up a 16-foot box truck from end-to-end and top-to-bottom.”

Donate Your Old Shoes is a nonprofit organization established by Philip and Kimberly Cleary of Carmel Valley. (Their children, Mimi, Conway, Shea and Joe, are also active in the organization.)

Local resident’s Bergum Foundation ‘makes a difference one person at a time’ Organization helps those who ‘have a desire for education’

BY KATHY DAY Belinda Bergum likes doing her own thing and right now that “thing� is giving back through the foundation she established two years ago.

Always one who helped out, she started before her five children were born by putting together holiday baskets and gifts for families on a small scale. Today she runs the Bergum Foundation, which has a mission “to make a difference one person at a time, and help those who have a desire for education. The ultimate goal is to create a platform for growth in academic achievement and improve the integrity of our society,� according to its website www. bergumfoundation.org. “I love to help people who are trying to reach their educational goals but do not have the financial means to do so,� she said in a recent interview.

One of six children whose parents were divorced when she was very young,

she said she “has always had a heart to give.� “It’s more about helping the underprivileged,� she said, adding that she likes “helping at a smaller level� — providing laptops or tutors or covering SAT prep classes or even prom dresses or senior pictures — for teens who were trying hard but didn’t have the wherewithal to spend on such things. “I enjoy it because when I was growing up I didn’t have those opportunities,� Bergum said. Now that she is fortunate enough to be able to give back and has the contacts to help her, “this is a given.�

But she waited until their daughter, 14, and four sons – now 15, 16, 18 and 19 – were older so she had time to get more involved in giving.

Initially, she set up a small boutique. She would go to Los Angeles and purchase clothing that would then sell to raise funds for her Little Voices project to aid children in Guatemala.

Having the large inventory, she and friends Dena Reyes, now the executive assistant, and Susan LatiniPowell decided to set up a sort of “shop� where low-income middle and high

school girls could come and select new clothing to wear to school. Another board member is Molly Byrd, a longtime friend and mentor to Bergum.

Knowing that girls feel more confident when they have something new, they believe that they could help them with their self esteem through what came to be known as “Fitting In.�

Originally, Bergum said, they agreed that the girls could select two items. “But you see them walk around all of the new clothing and you open your heart.� So the girls often leave with several items.

Last year, with the help of the Boys & Girls Club, girls from the Solana Beach area, where Bergum now lives, were invited to visit the “boutique� in a converted tack room behind her home.

This year they also are inviting girls to email them directly at give@thebergumfoundation.org. The event is set for Aug. 26.

Eventually, she said, she would like to help girls in need from other communities such as Oceanside and Vista “where the need is great.�

Now, though, she’s focused on building another

They have identified students through counselors at local high schools and Bergum’s sons have also suggested friends who they have seen struggling with finances.

They also accept applications from students directly through the website.

Bergum said her sons have been very helpful and her daughter, who will be a freshman at Torrey Pines, is looking forward to helping with Fitting In this year.

One of the Bergum Foundation’s projects, “Little Voices,� aims to provide clothing, shoes, hygiene supplies and school supplies for Guatemalan children.

The organization, a registered 501(c)3

nonprofit, is relationship-oriented, its founder said.

When they started, they consulted with Nonprofit Management Solutions because “we want to do it right,� she added. “Early on, they told us it’s like starting a business.�

And, true to their warning that it would be about three years before they settled in, now Bergum believes they are on the road to success.

They are just starting to accept applications online and she said she hopes this year they will be able to go through them and sponsor every one of the students who apply. They are also accepting donations and welcome partners.

Open House to be held Aug. 28 at new Del Mar Community Building The Del Mar community is invited to enjoy wine and cheese at an Open House on Tuesday, Aug. 28, from 5-7 p.m. to unveil the newly christened Del Mar Community Building, 225 9th Street, formerly the Del Mar Union School District administrative offices.

Guests may tour the facility and learn about activities already scheduled in the building, as well as view meeting spaces available for community meeting use.

The Del Mar Community Building will house offices for Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC) and the

Del Mar Foundation (DMF). DMCC will also offer various activities in the building, such as “Brain Fitness” and “Computer Tutoring,” as well as Dr. Mark Kalina’s popular twice-monthly Senior Health Forum.

Both Del Mar Community Connections and the Del Mar Foundation pooled funds to remodel the space, which now includes an ADA-compli-

ant restroom. Numerous volunteers and volunteer groups, as well as assistance from City of Del Mar staff, have come together to help give the building a facelift.

While a long-term master plan is being developed for the entire Shores property, the Del Mar Foundation and the City of Del Mar entered into a twoyear interim use agreement.

‘Alt.pictureshows’ marks its 10th year screening shorts in La Jolla

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art’s short film fest, alt.pictureshows, will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Thursday, Aug. 30 with close to 30 thought-provoking, funny, and rarely seen shorts from around the world at Sherwood Auditorium, 700 Prospect St. Part film festival and part art happening, the event will also feature some of the greatest alt.hits of the past decade — that is, some of the personal favorites of MCASD film curator Neil Kendricks, who started alt. pictureshows in 2003, when he was a grad student in Television, Film and New Media at SDSU. “From the beginning, I wanted this to be an alternative to the multiplexes,” Kendricks said. “I wanted people to see things they wouldn’t get to see anywhere else, films that are personal statements, not just calling cards.”

Kendricks mostly scouts out films and filmmakers at the annual Sundance Film Festival, a world-famous showcase at the institute founded 30

If you go What: alt.pictureshows 2012 When: 7 p.m. Aug. 30 Where: MCASD-La Jolla, 700 Prospect St. Tickets: $5, free to MCASD members Contact: (858) 4543541 Website: mcasd.org years ago by Robert Redford to encourage new voices in American film. Since alt. pictureshows is pretty much budget-less, it’s not easy to get filmmakers to submit their work for a one-night stand in La Jolla. Participation is by invitation only, and Kendricks does his best to assemble films that share “a common sensibility or atmosphere.”

“It’s challenging,” he admits. “I have to be really persuasive, especially since having a film shown in a museum isn’t necessarily going to help a filmmaker’s career. What draws them in is our format, the ‘physical channel-surfing’ idea.”

At alt.pictureshows, you don’t just sit down and watch. Films are shown in

five different spaces throughout the museum, grouped under idiosyncratic categories like “Occupy My Heart” and “Delirium Alley.” You’re free to wander from space to space until you find something you connect with, and then stay until you have the urge to move on.

You may catch the last part of a film, and come back for the first part ... or not. Along the way, there are people to meet, chat with, compare notes with, even have a drink with on the Oceanview Terrace — all accompanied by the sound (and sight) of music videos.

Kendricks, who is currently at work on a feature– length documentary, “Comics Are Everywhere,” which chronicles the creative journeys of several comic-creators, will show his own three-minute “Loop” as one of the Greatest Hits.

“Loop,” which Kendricks describes, as “a cinematic poem about a man who is literally out of synch with his environment,” is the shortest of the evening’s shorts, and was first screened at the first alt. show 10 years ago.

JUST IN!!

The evening’s longest short is one of Kendricks’ favorites: Lucy Walker’s 39-minute Oscar-nominated documentary, “The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom,” an extraordinary look at the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011. “It’s lyrical and profoundly poignant without being depressing,” he said.

Other highlights: • “Tooty’s Wedding,”

by British filmmaker Frederic Casella, a comedy of errors about a hapless couple attending a worst-case-scenario wedding; • Benh Zeitlin’s “Glory at Sea,” a 25-minute test run for the themes of his celebrated feature, “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” an apocalyptic fantasy which took top awards at Sundance and Cannes this year and is currently showing in local theaters; • Anna Musso’s touchingly compassionate “L Train.”

“It’s almost a perfect short,” said Kendricks. “She zeroes in on a small human moment, there’s not even any dialogue, but it says so much.”

‘Manufacturing Stoke’ headlines 2012 Del Mar Shores Cinema Series For local filmmaker, green living and surfing collide

BY ROB LEDONNE Pierce Kavanagh loves surfing and filmmaking, so it only makes sense he’d combine his two passions.

Kavanaugh is just one of the filmmakers showcased during the upcoming Del Mar Shores Cinema Series taking place Sept. 7-8, two free nights of entertainment taking place at Del Mar Shores Park (located on 9th and Stratford Ct.) All of the films shown are centered on nature, and include the Drew Barrymore feature film “Big Miracle” about whale rescue, as well as “Salmon Theory,” which chronicles winter surfing in New Hampshire.

Kavanagh’s film, titled “Manufacturing Stoke,” is a look at the sustainability of the surf industry, a subject Kavanaugh knows well.

Growing up in La Jolla, Kavanagh has an abiding love for Southern California. “It’s just beautiful here. I grew up on the beach, and when I was a little kid I used to run around with boogie boards which grew into a love for the ocean and surfing.” That love manifested into Kavanagh spending all of his free time in his formative years

Pierce Kavanagh in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s surfing and skating, leaving time for little else. “I really wasn’t thinking of my future, and was just working at restaurants and odd jobs.

I realized later I couldn’t do that for the rest of my life.”

In 2000, Kavanaugh started attended classes at UCSD and UCSB, studying filmmaking, and got to know a handful of likeminded peers, all of whom currently make up his production company Misfit Pictures, (which is behind “Manufacturing Stoke”). “ I recruited my really good friends I went to film

school with,” he says looking back. “We all graduated and were up in LA doing professional work. One day I had an idea and booked lunch with them.” That idea stemmed from attending a surf expo in Cardiff By The Sea which focused on green living.

“My wife and I were looking at all of these booths selling products made with various green materials, and it was really a shift in the industry I hadn’t heard of before. I then did more research and there were a lot of interesting people doing things on a small

scale, but none of the big companies had turned that corner yet.”

What started out as a short film exploded into a two-hour plus movie (which has since been cut down to 80 minutes) highlighting a variety of people talking about surf sustainability.

“The project snowballed because there’s a wealth of conversation on this topic,” Kavanagh explained. “We wanted to investigate what’s really going on. If [a large company] is making millions of t-shirts every year for surfers, why not make them [environmentally friendly?]. It’s members of the surf industry taking a look inward. It’s a way more toxic environment then you would believe.”

The crew, who worked pro bono, shot up and down the California coast, including right here at the Torrey Pines and Del Mar beaches.

“The first day we actually shot was at Torrey Pines,” says Kavanagh, who also filmed a time-lapse sequence at dawn above Scripps which is included in the movie.

Audience feedback from

If you go The third annual Del Mar Shores Cinema Series returns the first weekend after Labor Day (Friday and Saturday, Sept. 7-8) for two free movie nights at Del Mar Shores Park (9th St. and Stratford Ct.). The Cinema Series kicks off Sept.

7 at sunset (around 7:30 p.m.).

All information on the Cinema Series—including the full schedule, film trailers, VIP reservations and participating food trucks — can be found at delmarshores. org and on Facebook the film thus far has been overwhelmingly positive: “It’s been incredible; I’ve had people come up to me after screenings and hug me crying. No one was brave enough to tell the truth, though this isn’t an expose and we didn’t want to go out and grill anyone.” However, one faction that didn’t like the film was that of the large surf companies which the film takes a critical look at: “We’ve had a couple of negative responses from

(www.facebook.com/DelMarCinema). Come early, bring a blanket, beach chair and picnic. them, but that’s to be expected.”

It’s only fitting that “Manufacturing Stoke” is a part of the Cinema Series, donations from which go toward the Friends of Del Mar Parks’ mission statement to “acquire, preserve, enhance, and support recreational, educational and open space in the Del Mar area for the benefit of the greater Del Mar community.” For more information, visit delmarshores.org

Education Matters/Opinion

State mandate providing separate class for ‘young fives’ takes effect

BY MARSHA SUTTON No waivers, no exceptions. Every elementary school district in California must offer a “Transitional Kindergarten” program this fall for students turning 5 years old between Nov. 2 and Dec. 2 of 2012.

Districts have had two years to adjust to the requirements. In 2010, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the Kindergarten Readiness Act, authored by state senator Joe Simitian, which moved the date children must turn 5 to start kindergarten from Dec. 2 to Sept. 1.

The move is gradual.

This year, kindergartners must turn 5 by Nov. 2, next year by Oct. 2, and in 2014

by Sept. 1.

To better prepare young kindergartners, the law also mandates transitional kindergarten – this year for those 5-year-olds with birthdays in Nov., next year for 5-year-olds with birthdays in Oct. and Nov., and in 2014 and thereafter for students turning 5 in Sept., Oct. and Nov. According to Simitian, the TK legislation “build[s] a bridge between early learning and kindergarten using a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate.” Many experts cite research indicating that beginning school at an older age improves children’s social and academic development.

Simitian estimated that the money saved annually to move the date back would be about $700 million, all of which would go toward paying for TK. Because funding that would have been used to support young 5-year-olds in kindergarten is redirected to support those same children in TK, more children are not added to a school and the total number of children served remains the same. At least in theory.

“It will get kids off to a strong start at no additional cost to the state,” said Simitian in a press release.

But late last year, Gov. Jerry Brown attempted to undermine the law by eliminating the requirement for TK while keeping the Sept. 1 date. Brown hoped to take the money the state would pay to districts for TK and use it instead to help plug the state’s budget gap.

Districts put their plans for TK on hold, waiting to see how the power play would unfold in Sacramen-

to.

Brown lost. In March 2012, the assembly soundly rejected Brown’s plan, the senate education budget subcommittee agreed, and the effort died.

Simitian called Brown’s move “the worst kind of bait and switch” and said, “This is why people don’t trust the government.”

Most school districts restarted their earlier efforts to implement TK, but watched closely as some districts asked for waivers. All waivers were denied in June.

Basic Aid For all three local elementary school districts – Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe – the 20122013 school year, including TK, begins Monday, Aug. 27.

Early on, all three were prepared to offer TK, per state law, but could hardly be said to embrace the concept. The hesitation was the cost – as well as the class size.

Because these three districts are Basic Aid and are funded primarily by local property taxes rather than paid by the state based on the average daily attendance of students (the way most other school districts are funded), they will receive no extra money from Sacramento to pay for TK. This makes transitional kindergarten for Basic Aid districts an unfunded mandate.

TK was primarily designed to help children from low-income families for whom kindergarten may be their first educational experience.

For struggling families that cannot afford a feebased preschool program, children with fall birthdays often enter kindergarten younger than their classmates and less prepared emotionally, socially and academically. TK provides a way for these “young fives” to prepare for kindergarten which has become more rigorous over the years.

But for Basic Aid districts which generally have

a higher proportion of families that send their young children to two, three and even four years of preschool before entering kindergarten, TK is superfluous.

On the other hand, because TK offers a free alternative to another year of preschool for kids with fall birthdays, TK could represent an increase in the number of students Basic Aid districts serve, contradicting one of Simitian’s foundational claims and confounding enrollment predictions.

It makes even less sense to demand that tiny school districts offer a TK program when, for example, a district like Rancho Santa Fe with only 39 kindergartners, might have an average of three or four students in a TK class.

In a bind The three local elementary districts approached TK differently, but all somewhat reluctantly.

First to prepare for the new grade level in earnest, back in April, was the Solana Beach School District.

SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch said the district distributed notices to local community newspapers in June and July announcing the availability of a TK class for Solana Beach families, and information has been available for months on the district’s Web site: http:// sbsd.schoolwires.net/ Page/837.

In addition, Lynch said SBSD communicated TK information through school newsletters, school secretaries, the schools’ parentteacher groups, and the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning leadership.

The Solana Beach TK class, which currently has 18 students, will be offered at Solana Vista School in Solana Beach and is on the same schedule as the district’s kindergarten classes, which run from 8:30 a. m. to 2:45 p.m. daily.

Lynch said the TK program for SBSD will cost about $3,900 – mostly for furniture and curriculum.

No additional teacher was hired for TK, she said, “since the students who turn 5 in November are now in TK rather than kindergarten.”

Last school year, according to a story on TK published in this newspaper on March 22, 2012, the district had 382 kindergartners, with 17 who turned 6 in November and 13 who turned 5 in November.

In the same story, Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent Lindy Del-

aney said that most years the district’s kindergarten classes have no students who turn 5 in November.

“Traditionally, most of our families with a child having a November birthday voluntarily hold their children back a year,” she said.

Delaney said she has had no inquiries about TK for this fall.

“If we had had a student qualify for TK, we would have discussed different possibilities and of course we would abide by the law,” she said in an email. Delaney added that the district currently has only 39 kindergarten students enrolled.

Del Mar The Del Mar Union School District, even as late as two weeks ago, was not offering TK. “At this time, DMUSD does not plan to offer transitional kindergarten for the 2012-13 school year,” read the DMUSD Web site through the first half of August. The district was, however, offering a fee-based “Pre-K Plus” program.

Last week, however, the Web site message [http:// www.dmusd.org/Page/1217] was changed to read as follows: “If you have a child with a birth date falling between November 2, 2007 and December 2, 2007, and are interested in hearing information about transitional kindergarten, please email [the district].”

DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg said two weeks ago that the district will comply with the requirement to provide TK but is “attempting to determine the most fiscally responsible way to do so.” She indicated a full TK program could cost the district more than $100,000.

“We have been intentionally non-committal due to the fiscal implications,” she said at the time, insisting that the district is prepared to offer a TK program and will be ready should it be required, “although the timeline is short.”

McClurg said she had hoped exceptions or waivers would be granted, telling the school board, according to the minutes of DMUSD’s July 25 board meeting, “The direction from Sacramento has changed drastically in recent days.”

But nothing changed and no news altering the legislation was released.

Transitional kindergarten is now being officially offered in Del Mar, even though as of press time, no notices were distributed in the local media to alert parents new to the district.

“We actively solicited information regarding students with November birthdays last spring at school sites and have been receiv-

ing information from parents and keeping a list at the district office throughout the summer,” McClurg wrote in an email.

As of the July 25 board meeting, fewer than 10 children were interested in TK, McClurg said.

DMUSD’s TK program, exclusively for students who turn 5 this year between Nov. 2 and Dec. 2, will be located at Torrey Hills School and will be a combination TK/kindergarten class. McClurg said the TK curriculum will be differentiated from the kindergarten curriculum, but the hours will be the same: 8 a.m. to 12:40 p.m.

In this newspaper’s TK story last March, McClurg said the district had about 600 kindergartners in the 2011-2012 school year.

Hidden costs Local districts will not receive money from the state for TK, because Basic Aid districts are not funded on a per-pupil formula like the other 90 percent of the state’s school districts are.

Furthermore, for school districts with kids in grades kindergarten though sixth, Lynch pointed out that the additional fiscal impact of the new transitional kindergarten program is that “the district will now serve students in our schools for eight years rather than seven years as we have previously.”

Lynch’s point is welltaken. Transitional kindergarten adds another year of schooling that elementary districts must provide.

Complicating the issue is that kindergarten is not required in California, which makes the mandate to provide TK rather odd.

The TK one-size-fits-all recipe doesn’t work for locally funded Basic Aid districts, because TK was designed to help those children who enter kindergarten with no preschool to prepare them – a rarity locally.

Although most parents in local districts don’t need TK, districts must offer it. It’s a great deal for parents of “fall babies.” But it’s a myth that it’s break-even – or that it’s right for every district.

Nevertheless, school districts have a duty to actively alert parents of potential TK students that a free transitional kindergarten program through their local school district is now available – no matter how illogical it may be for small, locally funded districts.

A good law for the right reasons works for some districts, but unintended consequences make this mandate a costly burden for others.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion July 2012 crimes and arrests in Carmel Valley/Del Mar The fairgrounds is parklike, not music arena Regarding the issue of tobacco and marijuana smoking at the Del Mar Racetrack concerts, I agree with the concerns brought forward by members of public. The Del Mar Fairgrounds is public property, and we should view it as such when determining the types of concert bands that should play there. Different bands attract and create different behavior. I see the Del Mar Fairgrounds akin to a park, but unfortunately that gets lost at times.

The fairgrounds has an appropriate no-smoking policy and that includes the racetrack’s concerts after the races are over. I’ve experienced many racetrack concerts where a blatant disregard for the no-smoking policy occurs, including marijuana smoking, which has many more carcinogens than even tobacco and is illegal.

The fairgrounds no smoking policies must be enforced to protect the public. And the board of directors and staff at the fairgrounds are in the best position to solve this problem. The fairgrounds is not The Casbah or Belly Up Tavern, it’s owned by the public so when we go to “smoke-free” concerts there it really needs to be just that. Currently this is not the case. Let’s make the needed changes to truly have smoke-free concerts — who wouldn’t want cleaner, healthier, safer air and venue?

Lippman said it’s been fun for him, personally, to come back and reconnect with old friends he used to compete with in tennis.

SECTION B

Del Mar man publishes second novel, a political satire

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Del Mar resident Walter Carlin has worn a number of hats over the years.

He has worked in marketing for five different airlines and he’s been an actor, a public radio producer, a loan officer, an Army officer, a SeaWorld tour guide and even a telemarketer.

More recently, however, Walter Carlin he’s been emerging himself in life as an author, and he recently released his second novel, “Beezlebub O’Brien, K Street Warrior.”

Available on Amazon and Kindle, his self-published fiction tells the story of a young and inexperienced lobbyist who is appointed as “K Street Warrior,” a position that calls the shots from Wall Street to Capitol Hill. The protagonist ends up in the ranks of hell, however, and is sent to New York City to redeem himself by “corrupting the incorruptible” in an exchange program of sorts, Carlin said.

“When Billy starts calling on people to corrupt, he finds out that people are already corrupt,” said Carlin, adding that there’s a love story thrown into the mix when Billy meets an angel whose mission is to “uncorrupt the corrupted.”

The book takes on a political skeptical tone, and it takes a good sense of humor to swallow it, Carlin said, because he brings up real issues dealing with politics and religion in a satirical way.

“When you get into the specifics of heaven and hell you can get in a lot of trouble for talking about it,” he said. “People don’t think that’s funny at all to discuss or write about that other than in hush tones.”

Carlin crafted his novel with the help of a writers’ group that meets at Thornton Hospital at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla.

He said it took him about two years to write, and it’s been a success in online sales.

“The Kindle is outselling the hard copy believe it or not,” he said.

Carlin said much of his inspiration for the book stems from witnessing and hearing about political corruption when growing up in New York City. His father ran a busy seafood restaurant in Manhattan, and he said it wasn’t uncommon for successful businesses to come under threat of having to pay off law enforcement officials to avoid “accidents” or reprimands.

“As a kid, listening to the tales I learned real quick that the fix was in and if you wanted to get something done you better know how to do it,” he said. “This isn’t all limited to New York, but it caters to the opinion that Mark Twain once shared — that we have the best Congress money can buy.”

A light-footed clapper rail takes flight at San Elijo Lagoon on Aug. 16. Photos/Claire Harlin

Endangered birds released at lagoon Clapper rail recovery made possible by Gateway Property acquisition, San Elijo wetland upgrade

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Seven lucky birds that were hatched from eggs and raised in captivity are in for the feast of a lifetime — or rather, a lifetime of feasts.

Employees from SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo and Living Coast Discovery Center on Aug. 16 released the light-footed clapper rails into Solana Beach’s San Elijo Lagoon, which is a rich breeding ground for crab, the endangered bird’s meal of choice. The birds will also enjoy the more than 23 species of fish and an abundance of lagoon invertebrates as they work their way into the social system and hopefully spread their genes.

The survival of the rare birds are now on the shoulders of the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, and conservancy director Doug Gibson said he hopes the progress made at the ecological site will contribute to the birds’ complete recovery.

“You can raise an endangered species, but if you don’t have the right habitat to put them in, what’s the use?” Gibson said, adding that the growth in cord grass population at the lagoon in the past decade has made it possible to offer a suitable environment for the clapper

rails. The flourishing of the cord grass can be attributed to making sure the mouth of the lagoon has stayed open to the ocean.

More than 300 light-footed clapper rails have been successfully bred and released since 2001 as a result of this joint program involving breeding and reintroduction to natural habitats along the Southern California coast. Gibson said the three breeding pairs recently released will join 31 breeding pairs already on the 915-acre reserve, which was purchased by the conservancy only months ago.

On the peninsula of the lagoon, well over 30 stakeholders, scientists and local residents joined together to watch volunteers and biologists put colored bands on the birds and release them in unison.

Gibson said to keep your eyes peeled for the brown, long-legged bird on the lagoon, and if you notice a silver band on the left foot or a colored band on the other, contact the conservancy. Tracking the birds is a beneficial method in measuring the success of the reintroduction program.

‘Allegiance’ exposes family rift over loyalty to country

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER Sometimes it’s necessary as a culture to take a journey back in history and further examine severe actions that might have been avoided. That’s a tale The Old Globe Theatre tells in its world premiere of “Allegiance: A New American Musical.”

Directed by Stafford Arima, the story begins during the 60th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Particularly affected by this observance is Sam Kimura (George Takei). He’s a WW II Veteran whose family was put in an internment camp. It’s his recollections that recount this era and the rift between loyalty to family and allegiance to country. Telly Leung plays the younger Sammy Kimura.

Lea Salonga, Tony and Olivier award-winner for her roles in “Miss Saigon,” portrays Kei Kimura, Sam’s sister. She’s not so willing to go along with the crowd and instead joins a group of activists. Salonga said she’s excited to be part of this production.

“This piqued my curiosity because this was an Asian/American-centered story about Japanese-Amer-

If you go What: ‘Allegiance: A New American Musical’ When: Matinees, evenings, Sept. 7- Oct. 21 Where: The Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park Tickets: From $26 Phone: (619) 23-GLOBE Website: www.TheOldGlobe.org ican interment that wasn’t widely circulated or told as far as American history was concerned,” she said.

“Then when I got the script, I enjoyed the humor in it and also the music.”

“Allegiance” is a traditional musical with music and lyrics by Jay Kuo and book by Marc Acito, Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. “It’s a mix. When the words people are saying gets too emotional, then the actors burst into song,” said Salonga, who has an impressive resume of theatrical work. In films she provided the singing voice for the character of Princess Jasmine in the movies of

“Aladdin” and Fa Mulan in “Mulan.”

Her own talents notwithstanding, Salonga said she is humbled by her peers’ talent and finds Takei a pleasure to work with. “He’s revered on one hand, but on the other he’s just one of the boys. He has a great sense of humor.

Not only is he an AsianAmerican Hollywood figurehead, but this story is personal to him.”

Takei and his family were among 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated in U.S. internment camps at the outbreak of World War II. It was hearing Takei’s recollections of his family’s story that inspired Kuo and Thione to create the story of the Japanese American internment.

“I get to stretch my acting muscles in this production, like when the musical supervisor says something like, ‘fight against the prettiness of the song and make it rougher, more conversational.’ It takes work to keep the emotional content intact, and the storytelling of this poignant story is at the forefront of what we are doing here.”

Along with enjoying

the music of the show, it’s also a cautionary tale set in 1941 that Salonga said is precedented in paranoia and fear.

“Here is an entire group of people who just because of their ancestry, are immediately tagged as the enemy. There’s a dialogue in the show that refers to 9/11, in that if you have a Muslim last name or your parents are from a Muslin country, you’re immediately sensed as the enemy. So this production really speaks to that saying.

‘If you don’t know your history, you’re doomed to repeat it.”

George Takei, Lea Salonga and Telly Leung star in the world premiere of ‘Allegiance: A New American Musical,’ at The Old Globe Theatre. HENRY DIROCCO

When you have a Taste of Thai, you’ll return for more

BY KELLEY CARLSON he experience at Taste of Thai is an opportunity to sample the exotic — from the decor to the cuisine.

Owned by Val Habbestad, a native of Thailand, and her husband, Art, their upscale Del Mar location is the newest and largest of the two restaurants they operate.

The original site, in Hillcrest, was among the first Thai eateries in the San Diego area.

“Taste of Thai is run by people who care about customer service and food quality,” said general manager Mark Habbestad.

Guests are greeted by women in Thai costume, and seated in one of several areas.

The modern dining room features Asian accents such as gold-leaf lotuses on the burgundy walls, a large ginkgo flower image inlaid in the floor, geometric patterns on the ceiling that change color, triangleshaped windows and paper lanterns.

About a half-dozen customers can sit at the adjacent bar and sip on Singha beer or a glass of wine, and perhaps listen to the background instrumental music if it’s not a peak dining period. Outside, patrons can relax on a heated patio strung with tiny lights and bordered by rock planters.

Food is prepared only after the order is placed, allowing for dishes to be customized. They are made to a person’s spice preference, on a scale of 1 to 10 — with 10 being the hottest — and can be altered to satisfy vegans and vegetarians.

To begin their meal, guests can select from a dozen appetizers, including Fried Tofu, Crispy Calamari and Angel Wings, which is boneless chicken stuffed with ground pork, cellophane noodles, black mushroom, carrots and onion and served with a sweet and spicy sauce.

Among the salads available are Som Tum, which contains fresh green papaya and dried shrimp; and Thai Salad, with bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, lettuce, cucumber and red onion with peanut dressing.

Mark recommends that first-timers try

Some of the restaurant’s popular specials include Pork Shanks a la Val, which is two tender pork shanks sautéed with Thai herbs, chili, green pepper corns, garlic, kachai, lemon grass and lime leaves; Ped Krob Kraprao, a crispy, boneless half duck that is oven-baked and topped with chili, garlic and Thai basil sauce; and the 8-ounce grilled Choo-Chee Salmon.

Entrees are served with a choice of jasmine or brown rice at no extra charge, Val emphasized. For dessert, she recommends Fried Banana and Coconut Ice Cream.

While there isn’t a children’s menu, Taste of Thai is “very accommodating” to food preferences, and crayons and paper are available to keep kids occupied.

For those looking for a quieter dining experience, the ideal time to go is between 4 and 5 p.m. As a bonus, dine-in food is 25 percent off during that time Monday through Thursday, as part of happy hour.

“We’re so grateful for all the community support over here despite the economic downturn,” Val said.

New Del Mar Highlands business shines spotlight on all things tea

BY ROB LEDONNE James Bowman and Jamie Howard want you to know that tea isn’t just about Tetley, Tazo or Celestial Seasonings. In fact, there’s a whole world of tea out there to explore, and thanks to their new business, Leaf & Kettle, the area is about to get an education on everything and anything tea related.

“Tea is so important and has been for over 5,000 years,” explains Howard. “It’s been a part of every culture on a daily basis, and Leaf & Kettle is about celebrating the values of tea in today’s society.”

Both Howard and Bowman are self-professed tea-fanatics, and the two of them got together to open Leaf & Kettle, which is part of a continued expansion of new stores at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, some of which include the recent openings of Towne Bakery and Sunglass Cabana. Leaf & Kettle is a unique kind of business, one of which isn’t common nor available in the area, and they embrace the challenge of shattering people’s notions of tea and expanding area palettes. Part of what makes tea so special is that it’s “something you can drink throughout the day,” explains Howard. “One can have a nice breakfast tea in the morning, and that same person might want an iced tea during lunch, and then have a cup before going to bed. Our approach is to innovate (how people drink tea).”

Customers that walk into Leaf & Kettle are greeted with an interior made of wood and metal constructed and designed by local companies, a nod, says Howard, to the “tradition of tea and its connection to modern culture.”

Says Bowman: “I love the fact that tea is

connected to cultures on a global scale.

What’s in my cup can be directly traced to the source.”

The teas Leaf & Kettle sell, which are plentiful, could double as a geography lesson as some are from such faraway place as China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, and Africa, just to name a few. The United States is also represented, including bottled tea from a small company in Oregon. There are also a wealth of products for sale, most of which focus on making tea as accessible as possible.

Their other mission is to demonstrate how healthy tea can be: “I like products that benefit people,” said Howard. “Tea can be transformative to people with health problems.”

In addition, it’s also economical: “Unlike coffee, where you use the beans once and have to throw them away, tea can be brewed multiple times.”

Leaf & Kettle’s first week open welcomed “much more traffic” than originally

expected, leading to some products being sold out. As such, Howard says there’s no better place to operate their business than in Carmel Valley/Del Mar. “This area is perfect,” he said. “We looked all over San Diego and Orange County, but this is just a great community. I frequent this shopping center often, and it’s a wonderful match for us.” In addition, “Donahue Schriber (the owners of the shopping center) has been nothing but helpful and supportive.”

In the future, Leaf & Kettle plan to stock seasonal teas (like those tied to fall and Christmas), and the duo can’t be more excited to share their status as tea aficionados with the community. Sums up Bowman: “We want to show people what tea can be.”

San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center to hold Docent Open House Jamie Howard, Leaf & Kettle co-owner

A Docent Open House will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 3-5 p.m. at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center. Enjoy refreshments and learn about the Conservancy’s education program. RSVP at info@sanelijo.org.

Fall training begins Oct. 2 and ends Nov. 27 (Tuesdays from 9 a.m. - noon, and two Saturday mornings).

To help engage the public and to introduce the wonders of the Reserve to the community, the Conservancy offer hundreds of free educational programs annually to schools and the public. In order to do this, the Conservancy relies heavily on volunteers (docent-naturalists) to carry out the educational programs in the field. As the education program grows in popularity, the Conservancy needs to constantly seek and train new docents to lead groups on walks in the lagoon.

Apply by Sept. 21. For more information, visit www.SanElijo.org/volunteer-docent; (760) 436-3944, ext. 701.

Art of improv gets a boost from ‘Finest City’ founders

BY DAVID L. CODDON Amy Lisewski “fell in love” with improv after training with the Second City conservatory in Hollywood, and now she wants everyone else to love it, too.

That’s where Finest City Improv comes in.

It’s a business just launched by Lisewski, a Amy Lisewski longtime actress and performer, that’s dedicated to furthering the art of improvisation in San Diego through classes for both adults and teens, and live showcases in Ocean Beach. Why O.B.? For one, it’s where Lisewski lives and where the Ocean Beach Playhouse (bet you didn’t know such a place existed) is located.

For another, “We all know how crazy and different O.B. is,” said Lisewski.

Long-form improv, which involves performing full-on scenes, is different from the short-form improv you generally see in comedy theater, and it’s a lot different from standup comedy. “(This) improv is about relationships and seeing relationships develop on the stage,” Lisewski said. “There’s a riskiness. The moments are heightened.”

Classes being offered by Finest City Improv, taught by improvisation veterans, cater to beginners and advanced students alike, and serve either adults or teen-age participants. Lisewski doesn’t expect everyone who enrolls to have expectations of stardom.

“There are a lot of people who are just looking for an outlet where they can get up on their feet and use their bodies to express

jor cities have one, and some of the smaller cities, too. We don’t have one here.”

We do have a major comedy club, the Comedy Store in La Jolla. Sandi Shore, part of the Shore family that has owned the Comedy Store locations (currently Hollywood and La Jolla) from the beginning, doesn’t think that Lisewski’s improv classes or showcases will impact the La Jolla club in

Finest City Improv performers.

themselves,” she said.

But Lisewski does anticipate serious students will enroll, too. “It’s great for actors, but also writers, and that’s what Second City was about – using improv to create sketch comedy. It’s really great for writers to take improv because it helps them see the different choices that can be made in a scene and know how to heighten a scene.”

Finest City Improv courses offered (www.finestcityimprov.org) cost up to $100 for five- or six-week sessions. A couple of showcases, which will feature improv performers from both Los Angeles and San Diego (and possibly beyond) are set — the first on Oct. 11, and another on Dec. 6.

As time goes on, Lisewski hopes to offer “a major showcase at least every other month.”

For now, it’s all about getting Finest City Improv off the ground, then adding more classes as time goes on. “One of my big goals is to have an improv festival,” said Lisewski, looking to the future. “All the ma-

any way. “Does improv cause competition for standup? Not at all,” Shore said. But she added that the art of improvisation is “really important to standup because you’re working live.

“I think anything in the performing arts is valuable because it helps you think on your feet, which might be great for job interviews or feeling better about yourself.”

Art of Skin MD Ribbon Cutting/Grand Opening The award-winning dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Melanie Palm recently opened her new state-ofthe-art private practice, Art of Skin MD, in the beautiful coastal setting of Solana Beach.

On July 19, more than 100 guests enjoyed live music, a silent auction, and prizes featuring services and products from Dr. Palm and other community businesses. Proceeds benefited Angel Faces, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing healing retreats and ongoing support for adolescent girls with burn/trauma injuries. The Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce and Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian were there to commence the ribbon cutting for the grand opening.

Dr. Palm’s office is located at 437 S. Hwy 101, Suite 217 in the Beachwalk Center. You can visit their website at www. artofskinmd.com or call them at 858-792-7546.

•Not since Yves Klein (1928-1962) has an artist so boldly harnessed fire as a medium to construct a human portrait. The seven-foot tall anthropometry “Carol-Ann on Fire,” by San Diego artist Robert Glick, is an abstract expose of the female spirit. The model appears to climb to new heights, poised in a delicate balance between uncharted boarders.

Glick’s work has been shown at prestigious locations such as the Oceanside Museum of Art and Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York city. When asked about his fire paintings, he responded: “when flames leap headlong into the void they leave behind an unsullied imprint, a shining moment — pure energy incarnate,” an applicable description of his latest piece set in a salon-style show at the Del Mar Art Center.

“Carol-Ann on Fire” is the giant of the exhibit, both in size and creativity, and revitalizes abstract portraiture in a way not seen in years. Don’t miss this gem of the collection at the artists’ reception Saturday, Sept. 8, from 6-9 p.m. at the Del Mar Art Center Gallery, Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, Suite 122; www.dmacgallery.com.

• Re-Gallery will have a solo exhibition featuring the work of Rodrigo McCoubrey beginning Aug. 18 and running until Sept.

2012 a winning summer for Jay Em Ess Stable owner

BY JULIE SARNO At the mid-point in the Del Mar race meet, the leading owner is the Jay Em Ess Stable of Samantha Siegel.

The Jay Em Ess owner is having remarkable racing success this summer. Her runners have won three stakes races in less than one month, two at Del Mar and one on the East Coast.

The racing stable, Jay Em Ess, was named for the initials of Siegel’s parents, Jan and Mace Siegel. Jan passed away in 2002 and her father, Mace, died last year at age 86. Siegel devotes her energies to the racing stable. She is a pedigree and conformation expert and attends many sales to select racing prospects.

This summer, the blue and green Jay Em Ess racing silks have visited the Del Mar winner’s circle after two major stakes races. Seven-year-old Rail Trip won the San Diego Handicap (G2) on July 28. Rail Trip, who makes his next start in the $1 Million Pacific Classic on Aug. 26, is a popular 7-year-old campaigner. His victory in the San Diego Handicap was his first victory in two years and since returning to the barn of popular Southern California trainer Ron Ellis after racing on the East Coast.

Include Me Out was the second Jay Em Ess runner to win a big race at the

Racing in Philadelphia, qualifying him for the Breeders’ Cup Marathon (Grade 3). Earning starting positions in three Breeders’ Cup races through the “Win and You’re In” series is unprecedented since the series began.

Siegel’s parents purchased their first horse in 1964 in Maryland. The family first raced horses as Jan, Mace and Samantha Siegel, but changed it to honor the memory of Jan. “Jay Em Ess” was spelled out as some states do not allow a stable name to only contain initials, according to Siegel.

Siegel’s late father founded Macerich Co., located in Santa Monica, which develops, owns and manages shopping malls. He retired in 2008. Siegel’s mother had been a big band singer. The couple met on a blind date at Aqueduct race track and married in 1962. They settled in Beverly Hills and, years ago, established a second residence locally in North County.

Breeders’ Cup president Craig Fravel is presenting the trophy to Samantha Siegel (center holding the red roses) with jockey Jose Valdivia. BENOIT PHOTO seaside oval. On Aug. 4, 4-year-old Include Me Out took the 1 1/16-mile Clement L. Hirsch Stakes, a Grade 1 test for fillies and mares. Include Me Out is also in the Ellis barn.

“It was so thrilling to win the two races back to back,” said Siegel. “Rail Trip’s win in the San Diego was very emotional for all of us. It felt like winning five big ones all at once. Include Me Out’s win was exciting as well, always thrilling to win a Grade I. Having the two races be Win and You’re In for the Breeders Cup was icing on the cake.”

Both stakes races are

part of the prestigious Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In Series.” Rail Trip qualified for the Breeders’ Cup Mile and Include Me Out has earned a starting position in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic. Both

races are Grade 1 races which will be contested on Nov. 2 and 3 at Santa Anita.

Just before the Del Mar race meet began Jay Em Ess had another runner who won a “Win and You’re In” test. Redeemed took the Greenwood Cup at Parx

Let’s all Scream for Ice Cream!

The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Ice cream has evolved from its purist period of jerkscooped service with monotextures and limited flavors that could be counted on one hand with fingers left over to the present day explosion of both the former and latter. Today the world of frozen treats accommodates practically every palate, dietary restriction, cultural tastes and gustatory fantasy imaginable. Here’s the scoop on the weird, wacky and wonderful line-up of icy bliss to help you chill for the dog days of summer: Fabulous Frosty Freaks Japanese ice cream makers handcraft exotic fla-

vors titillating those with a yen for culinary adventure, including shark fin noodle, raw horseflesh, saury fish, poisonous pit viper, ox tongue and octopus. And for more mainstream palates there’s wasabi, garlic, sesame, soybean and dried kelp.

Sea Rocket Bistro in North Park concocts a creation reminiscent of the kitschy flavors from the Pacific west in its signature Sea Urchin gelato blended with lavender sea salt, orange honey and candied ginger. Earlier this summer Carl Jr. was offering ice cream “brrrrgers”—trompe l’oeil ice cream sandwiches that mocked hamburgers. Chocolate ice cream replicated the patty, amaretto sugar cookies for the buns and ketchup, mustard and relish colored ganache for special effects.

Gelato Gone Wild Traditional gelaterias serve a smorgasbord of flavors from stracciatella (Italian chocolate chip), tiramisu and Donatella (chocolate hazelnut) to lemon and mango sorbets. Reinventing the classic gelato flavors to excite spicy, herbal palates is Chuao Chocolatier (La Jolla’s UTC, Del Mar Highlands and Encinitas Lumberyard)

with such intriguing concoctions as Spicy Maya dialing-up dark chocolate with pasilla chili, cayenne pepper and cinnamon, Amaretto Di Saronno packed with an almond punch, along with seasonal flavors of Coconut Chip and Salted Caramel gelatos, and Strawberry Basil and Mojito sorbets.

Rachel King, pastry chef for Brian Malarkey’s hip fabric-named eateries around town has created frozen delectables starting with staple sundaes on each menu.

Gabardine’s King Sundae smothers peanut butter ice cream with bananas, bacon, caramel sauce and whipped cream. Herringbone’s “Baked California” combines lemon cake with lemon verbena frozen yogurt and blueberry sorbet enveloped in toasted meringue.

While Burlap has a Melon Vacherin with watermelon sorbet. Some of King’s from scratch made ice creams include Vietnamese Coffee, Olive Oil, Mascarpone and Caramel Corn along with invigorating sorbets of fig, mango chile and cherry balsamic.

An Ice Cream Walks into a Bar. . .

La Jolla’s frou-frou ice

Berry Basil Blast (Serves 4) 1 pound frozen raspberries or strawberries 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 3 tablespoons agave syrup or honey 3 fresh basil leaves Zest from one Meyer lemon Combine ingredients in a food processor and puree to desired consistency. Pour into martini glasses and garnish with fresh basil. cream boutique has raised the bar from the days of the Good Humor man’s pedestrian offerings. Bardot’s designer ice cream bars are as sexy as they are scrumptious. These handmade luxury “love” bars are stamped with logos of lips and other kitschy images in rich jewel tones or smothered in Belgian chocolate, and symbolically impaled with hot little scarlet sticks. The Bardot Collection features such selections as “Italian Mob” coffee ice cream and chocolate covered coffee beans, and “First Love” of toasted pecan ice cream and chewy caramel, while the Classic Collection boasts “Acapulco Love,” with handpicked manila mangos from farms in Guerrero Mexico, or “The French Kiss” with toasted almond ice cream swathed in milk chocolate.

Sustainable Sorbets If you visit farmer’s mar-

kets around town you’ve probably spotted the cute little ice cream cart selling healthful and invigorating Viva Pops crafted from scratch with local organic fruits and herbs sourced from Paradise Valley, J & R Organics, among others, and goat cheese from Modesto California. The frozen pop flavors change with the seasons, some inspired by the zesty Mexican-style “paletas,” such as Pineapple Chili. For herbal fruity palates try Lavender Lemonade, Peach Ginger and Nectarine Basil.

Tender Tummies For those lactose-intolerant ice cream lovers, some of the major players are churning out non-dairy based frozen goodies like soy decoys, icy rices, hemp temptations and “milks” of almond, hazelnut and coconut. Sorbets are also easy on the gut along with frozen goat milk

treats. Ben & Jerry’s has launched a line of probiotic frozen Greek Yogurts such as Raspberry Fudge Chunk and Peanut Butter Banana that’ll “rock your acropolis” but ease your acid.

You can create your own simple fruity pops by filling assorted molds with crushed fruit, juices or nondairy drinks, goat cheese or yoghurts, inserting sticks and freezing.

Alas, there are only three rules to prudent ice cream consumption –don’t eat too quickly to avoid brain-freeze, don’t eat too slowly to avoid vanilla bean soup, and know your limits.

Here’s a refreshing and simple summer treat, just enough off center to make it interesting and fun.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Longtime local dentist’s office is all in the family •Dr. Trudeau launches in-house dental plan for patients

BY CLAIRE HARLIN In today’s tough economy, dental insurance may be one of the first expenses families are cutting out of their budgets, and local dentist Dale Trudeau has come up with a program to try to help out. “I was noticing that longtime patients were skipping appointments and not bringing kids in because times are tough,� said Trudeau, who has for nearly 30 years operated Del Mar Family Dentistry in the California Bank & Trust building at 2775 Via de la Vallem Suite 103, Del Mar. This month, Trudeau starting offering an in-house dental plan as an alternative to dental insurance. “We looked at the costs associated with giving quality dental care to our paLori and Dr. Dale Trudeau tients and we saw that we could significantly reduce our treatment rates if we saw patients early in the process and encouraged the whole family to take part in the on-going care,� said Trudeau, adding that the rate for the plan is a better value when more family members take part. “We are seeing a lot of new patients who want the benefits. It’s really good for people who have a small business or have to buy insurance on their own.�

Being one of Del Mar’s longest standing family dental practices, Trudeau said he has enjoyed getting to know his patients over the decades and seeing them go through the many phases of their lives. He has kept nearly the same crew of employees at his practice since the beginning, including his hygienist, Beverly, and his wife, Lori, who started as a hygienist but now does administrative work. “People like that continuity,� he said. “They like to see the same people when they come to the dentist.�

Trudeau said he loves working day in and day out with his wife, who he met in dentistry school at the University of Southern California, and even their daughter worked at the office’s front desk for a short time.

“People joke that we are Del Mar Family Dentistry, but we are also the family too,� said Trudeau, a Solana Beach resident whose kids, ages 22 and 24, went to Torrey Pines High School.

Besides friendly and trustworthy care, there are some other interesting things offered at Del Mar Family Dentistry, such as special “movie goggles� that patients can wear during treatment. A feature of the dental office for about 15 years, Trudeau said patients simply put on the goggles and choose from more than 200 movies. The movies help distract both kids and adults from the dental work. “I’ve found that a lot of fearful patients come in and want sedation but once they try

the movie glasses they don’t even need it,�

Trudeau said.

He also does a lot of high-tech dental photography that allows him to see problems such as decay sooner than he would otherwise be able to. “Being able to detect decay with a camera, that’s really cutting edge,� he said. “It shows up red on the camera, where in the past the only way we could check for decay was with an explorer, which sticks in the grooves if there’s decay.�
