By Karen Billing In an effort to avoid boundary changes to deal with an ever-growing enrollment, Del Mar Union School District is looking at creating “option areas” for families. Families that live within the option areas will have the choice between two schools designated for their area. The plan for the proposed option areas came out of a committee formed in October last year and they will present the

plan to the school board for approval on Wednesday, Feb. 29. An open house was held on Monday, Feb. 13, where parents could get a look at the data and options and submit a written comment. School board president Scott Wooden said that he is in favor of giving people a choice rather than forcing them into a school, but is taking the approach that he

By Marsha sutton An incident at a Jan. 17 wrestling match between a student and a coach resulted in the firing, and subsequent rehiring, of the wrestling coach for Canyon Crest Academy. Craig Van Dyke was initially released by CCA principal Brian Kohn and assistant principal and CCA athletic director Jeff Copeland after interviews with eyewitnesses and officials at the match. District officials declined to provide specific reasons for his release, citing confidentiality of personnel files. However, parents and supporters of the CCA team reported that Van Dyke behaved appropriately and was the unjustified target of an obscenity-laced verbal assault by a Julian High School student and parent that nearly became physical. At the Feb. 2 San Die-

guito Union High School District board meeting, about 40 parents, students and other backers came to support Van Dyke and to request that he be reinstated. Fourteen people asked to speak, but the school board only had time to hear seven. They described details of a volatile altercation between a Julian High School wrestler and Van Dyke, after the Julian wrestler was pinned by a CCA wrestler. Tina Nova, attending the match as a scorekeeper, said the conduct of the Julian student and his father was “horrific” and that the CCA coach “did nothing wrong.” Sherry Singer, the team’s parent liaison, said the Julian father “was very large and very aggressive.” She said firing Van Dyke, especially mid-year, “sends the

Solana Beach to make park-like seating area near community center By Claire harlin editor@delMartiMes.net

The uneven, unwalkable site of the Fletcher Cove Community Center is currently no parallel to the immaculate, newly renovated building it surrounds. Pedestrians have to climb a two-foot-tall wall to enter the grassy area, which lacks footpaths or flat gathering space, and there are no benches or trash cans on the oceanview site. But the Solana Beach City Council’s Feb. 8 approval of renovations to the space seeks to change all that. The

proposed design is the third and final phase of the entire community center restoration, which was deemed by the city a “priority project” over the past two years. The project seeks to transform the site into a “more user-friendly park environment” and consists of removing an outside retaining wall, widening the sidewalk and adding two entrances to the area. Picnic furniture, trash cans and possibly barbecue equipment are also in the works. The

Police urge Del Mar Mesa area to set up a Neighborhood Watch program BY SUZANNE EVANS San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Adrian Lee, Northwest Division, spoke to the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning board Feb. 9, advising them to set up a Neighborhood Watch program due to increasing robberies in that area, as well as in Carmel Valley. “Silver, gold, and copper wiring are thieves’ main targets in communities recently,” Lee said. “They do not ransack, but instead go straight to high-end jewelry, silverware, and safes.” Thieves can steal valuables in only minutes, he warned, advising residents to lock doors and set alarms, even if away only a short time. “We have made a couple of arrests,” Lee said, in a county-wide series of copper wiring thefts, noting thieves cut wire from street conduits and businesses. “Homeowners are not setting alarms, and thieves gain entrance through rear sliding doors.” Valuables should be put in safes and small safes bolted down, he said. Planning board vice chair Elizabeth Rabbitt said a resident recently noticed that

a large UPS package had been delivered to her front door. She moved it to the side of the house, and later it was missing. Officer Lee offered to help Del Mar Mesa homeowners by bringing information and literature to a meeting to see if the community wants to set up a Neighborhood Watch program, adding, “The program is only effective when residents from the whole neighborhood participate.” “Count me in; I will take the initial lead,” said Rabbitt, after Lee asked for a block captain and meeting volunteers. Board member Trey Nolan also offered his help. “We’re in,” said board member Prabodh Patel, representing The Grand Del Mar, asking for information on how to include the hotel (with surrounding villas) in a watch group. Noting that speeding is also a problem, Lee said that 38 patrol officers on three shifts are in the highest concentrated areas to monitor traffic. To make a police report to Northwestern Division, call (858) 523-7000. For more information, visit www.sandiego.gov/police/

Tom Chino resigns 22nd Ag. board seat BY JOE TASH Citing his frustration with certain practices of the state agricultural district that oversees the Del Mar fairgrounds, and his inability to enact reforms, fair board member Tom Chino has resigned from his seat. Chino announced his decision Tuesday, Feb. 14, in an

email to fellow board members and district staff. The decision came a month after Chino’s fellow board members questioned at the district’s regular meeting whether his relationship with a local attorney constituted a conflict of interest. In the email, Chino cited what he called improper pay-

New Solana Beach superintendent contract approved BY MARSHA SUTTON The Solana Beach School District’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved a contract on Feb. 9 to appoint Dr. Nancy Lynch to replace Leslie Fausset as the district’s new superintendent, effective April 2, 2012. (RSF’s Solana Santa Fe Elementary School is in the Solana Beach School District.) Lynch comes to Solana Beach from the Placerville Union School District where she has served as superintendent since 2007. According to her contract, Lynch will be paid an annual salary of $162,000. She will also be given $2,000 per year “to utilize cafeteria funds to upgrade health care benefits and/or to purchase additional insurance or other benefit,” according to her contract. This stipend can be used for additional life insurance, out-of-pocket costs for health and welfare benefit premiums, or other similar expense, said a district spokesperson. Lynch’s work year will consist of 225 days, with 12 sick days per year, a yearly automobile stipend of $5,400, and a one-time relocation payment of $12,000. Fausset was paid $165,876 annually, with a yearly automobile stipend of $4,400. Hired as the SBSD superintendent in

2005, Fausset began her career in education 40 years ago as a first-grade teacher in the Poway Unified School District. Since that time, she has worked in numerous positions in San Diego County and at the state’s Cali- Dr. Nancy Lynch fornia Department of Education as deputy superintendent under state superintendent of public instruction Delaine Eastin. Fausset, who notified her board several months ago of her intention to retire, said 34 applicants applied for the position, with approximately 15 percent from out of state. SBSD board president Jeff Busby said of Lynch, “We believe that her background, experience, and expertise are a perfect match for Solana Beach. We are eager for her arrival on April 2 and look forward to working with her to continue our important student learning work.”

ing…” Chino went on to write that his efforts to address issues raised by the audits, and to assure that board committee meetings and other meetings with state and federal officials be open to the public, did not win support by the board. “The message was clear that this board is not interested in pursuing these issues that I feel must be addressed. Instead of addressing these serious issues some board members embarked on a personal attack on me and my personal attorney implying that I was leaking confidential closed session information about lawsuits in which the district is involved,” Chino wrote. Chino denied at the board’s January meeting

that he had ever discussed confidential district information with Dwight Worden, his personal attorney, and also denied the allegations in his resignation email. Chino and four others were appointed to the fair board in August by Gov. Jerry Brown. His resignation leaves the nine-member panel with seven members. The board members are unpaid and appointed by the governor. The terms of board president Adam Day and members Russ Penniman and Ruben Barrales are expired. The board oversees the operation of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which in turn runs the state-owned fairgrounds.

Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich comes to area for fundraising breakfast BY JOE TASH Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich spent Tuesday morning, Feb. 14, having breakfast with supporters at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club as part of a three-day fundraising swing through California. Between 40 and 45 people attended the breakfast, which was closed to the public and news media. According to a New York Times report, attendees paid $500 per plate, or $1,000 to have their photo taken with the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination against former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former U.S. senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Texas congressman Ron Paul. Gingrich faces an uphill battle to remain in the race against the better-funded Romney and Santorum, who swept three primary contests last week in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado. After the breakfast meeting, Gingrich paused at the country club’s entrance to speak briefly with reporters. Gringrich said the trip to California was important to his campaign, both in terms of shoring up support for the June primary and the fall general election, and for fund-raising purposes. “We’re also raising a fair amount of money on the trip, which is very, very helpful to be able to compete on Super Tuesday, which is our next big focus,” Gingrich said. He referred to the Super Tuesday primaries, on March 6, when voters in 10 states — including Georgia, Massachusetts and Ohio — will cast ballots for the Republican nominee for president. Before that, voters in Arizona, Michigan and Washington state will have their say. He rejected the contention that California’s June 5 primary could come too late to make a difference in the contest. “I think it’s going to go a long time,” Gingrich said of the nominating process, noting that a week ago, he was in second place behind Romney and Santorum was in fourth, but Santorum surged after his recent wins and bumped the

PHOTO: JON CLARK former speaker to fourth place. “This has been like riding Space Mountain at Disney. We’ve had this up and down roller coaster effect. By Super Tuesday I’ll be back in the middle of the hunt,” he said. His “big ideas,” such as expanding petroleum production to bring gasoline prices to $2 per gallon, and allowing young people to invest in Social Security savings accounts, will turn the tide, Gingrich said. Gingrich dismissed an editorial posted Monday, Feb. 13, on National Review Online, a conservative media outlet, that called for Gingrich to endorse Santorum and exit the race. “… it would be a grave mistake for the party to make someone with such poor judgment and persistent unpopularity its presidential nominee,” the editorial said of Gingrich. Gingrich said the National Review editors are a “bunch of Washington insiders” who have prematurely written off his candidacy in the past. “I think they represent the opinion of a handful of people who sit around in Washington,

chatting with each other and going to Georgetown cocktail parties.” While Gingrich’s future in the race may be uncertain, he seemed to have made a positive impression Tuesday in Rancho Santa Fe. Carmel Valley resident Mike Pierce, a registered Republican, said he was a little undecided about who he would support as the GOP standard-bearer against President Obama, but halfway through Gingrich’s talk on Tuesday morning, he decided to vote for the former House speaker from Georgia. “I came to learn and I came to be convinced and he did that for me,” said Pierce, adding that he planned to donate to Gingrich’s campaign. Martha Kaloogian, who attended the event with her husband, Howard Kaloogian, a former state assemblyman and chairman of the political action committee for the Tea Party Express, said she found Gingrich “authoritative, presidential, and someone I that I feel safe with for foreign policy as well as domestic.” John Cox of Rancho Santa Fe said one attendee commented, “You are the real deal. You are a guy who’s actually done what he said he was going to do.” “Newt Gingrich with the contract for America actually balanced the budget, which seems like a quaint, old-fashioned concept… it’s something he accomplished,” Cox said. Cox, a businessman, was at the event both to hear Gingrich and to highlight an initiative he is backing called the Neighborhood Legislature Reform Act, which would overhaul the California legislative process with the goal of taking special interest money out of politics. After talking with reporters, Gingrich and his staff boarded his “Newt 2012” campaign bus, which was parked in the lot outside the country club, and headed to his next appearance, at the Tulare World Ag Expo in central California, followed by a private, $2,500 per person cocktail reception at a home in Fresno.

Del Mar receives distinguished Budget Presentation Award

The Del Mar City Council recently announced that the City has once again received the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA’s) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget. The award reflects the commitment of the City and its staff to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the award, the City satisfied nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation, and how well the budget document serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device. Budget documents must be proficient in all four categories and

fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award. A Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation was presented to Teresa S. McBroome, director of finance/treasurer representing the City’s Finance Department as being primarily responsible for its having achieved the award. On Feb. 6, the City Council received the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) by independent auditor Ken Al-Imam with Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. The CAFR was very favorable for the City of Del Mar and it too reflected the City’s excellent financial reporting methods.

Pedestrian and cyclist counters installed in Del Mar The City of Del Mar recently announced the completed installation of two pedestrian and cyclist counters at the 14th Street and Camino del Mar intersection. Mayor Carl Hilliard was on hand for the project installation ceremony held Feb. 8. Also in attendance were City Council members Don Mosier and Lee Haydu, as well as researchers from SDSU and the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency along with Jean-François Rheault, Director of Eco Counter, representing the technology supplying the counters. The City of Del Mar was selected as the pilot installation for the joint pedestrian/cyclist count program sponsored by SANDAG, San Diego State University Research Foundation, and the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency. This research project is being done throughout the County to assess the public health benefits of walking and cycling. The in-ground counters precisely count cyclists who ride over the sensitive area of pavement or walk by the infrared eye. It then transmits the data to the researchers so they can see times and days of high ridership or activity, such as in-

creasing in commuter cyclists. As the City of Del Mar embarks on its Village Specific Plan, such pedestrian and cyclist data will be very useful. One of the many goals of the Specific Plan is to cre- Eco Counter’s ZELT ate an envi- Inductive Loop being ronmentally installed on 14th Street sustainable and Camino del Mar to Village by sup- monitor cyclist. porting alternative modes of transportation.

Honored civic pioneers share stories of SB’s earliest days BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Solana Beach music venue The Belly Up traded tunes for a different kind of gig on Feb. 13 — one featuring some of the most influential players in the city’s history. At the lunch event, called Valentine Venture, the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society honored a handpicked group of “civic pioneers” who played integral roles in Solana Beach becoming a city in the 1980s. Each honoree shared stories and insight about making the dream of incorporation come true. Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts read the honorees’ testimonies, and Councilmembers Lesa Heebner and Mike Nichols awarded them with certificates. Former Solana Beach Town Council president Gail Paparian remembered coming up with the identifiable acronym for CITI (Citizens Intending to Incorporate) — the group that steered the efforts to make Solana Beach a city. Many of the honorees were involved in that group. “My late husband Bill thought we should donate our dining room table to the incorporation effort, as that is where the city had been born,” she reminisced in her story, read by Roberts. “Sadly, the table is gone but the fond memories linger on.” Gloria Curry, the city’s first city manager, said everyone worked long hours, but also had “lots of fun.” “The City Council was totally dedicated and we worked like a well-oiled, albeit sometimes squeaky, team,” Curry said. Margaret Schlesinger, the city’s first mayor, said one of her fondest memories of the incorporation campaign was an unusual 1986 fundraiser in which 40 to 45 residents boarded a bus and spent the afternoon wine tasting in the Santa Maria valley. “We enjoyed a gourmet dinner at a restaurant at the little crossroads town of Ballard and spent the night at a Motel 6 near Solvang,” she said. “It was one of the best fundraisers I’ve ever attended.” The crowd of about 200 laughed when Celine Olson of the city’s first City Council told the story of when the city was “saved by the native Indians.” A well known local development presented a plan to the county to develop a project on the San Elijo preserve, she said, but an Environmental Impact Report indicated the finding of an Indian grave site which she believes put an end to the project. “No one asked me, but I think the grave may have been my youngest son’s dog, Marty, who was poisoned by an unknown person,” she said. “He was lovingly buried there …. so we will never know, was it our dog or an Indian who saved our canyon?”

Project to complete Lomas Santa Fe sidewalk In response to concerns about excessive traffic speeds, circulation and lack of a sidewalk, the City of Solana Beach has made plans for significant improvements along Lomas Santa Fe. The design, approved Feb. 8 by the Solana Beach City Council, includes redesigning the intersection of El Viento and Granados Avenue to a standard “T” intersection in an effort to increase sight visibility and improve right-of-way. This redesign will create a large unused area that will be large enough for a small

neighborhood park. The existing sidewalk along the north side of Lomas Santa Fe between Nardo and Granados — currently “substandard” and “pinched against an unstable slope and partially paved,” according to a city staff report — will also be redesigned to include a concrete curb and six-foot-wide sidewalk. This change will create a continuous sidewalk along Lomas Santa Fe west of Interstate 5 and complete the pedestrian circulation from I-5 to the train station. — Claire Harlin Carmel Valley oices.com Social media for the Carmel Valley Community

CENTER continued from page 1 Solana Beach Community Foundation, co-chaired by community member Peter House, is funding the project, estimated to cost $33,500. The picnic area proposed for the site will be situated on four flat terraces, each with panoramic views of the ocean and Fletcher Cove Park. Each picnic area will have a concrete bench similar to the ones at Fletcher Cove Park. The entrances will be connected to the seating areas with decomposed granite pathways, and barbecue equipment will be added dependent on funding. No landscaping is included in the design at this time, and can be added at a later date, according to project plans. Mayor Joe Kellejian suggested offering community members the opportunity to contribute financially to the project in ex-

change for naming the benches in remembrance of loved ones. Councilwoman Lesa Heebner said she thought the council had once discussed not doing naming rights around the community. “It becomes a little graveyard-like with names all over the place and we have homages to Fluffy and Fido, as well as wonderful people,” Heebner said, adding that there could be an opportunity to offer dedication tiles on a wall at the site. Councilman Tom Campbell said he was not sure if he likes the idea of freestanding iron pole barbecues, which were proposed as a possible addition to the site. “It creates increased maintenance,” he said. “And we want people to come up here and bring their picnic basket. I don’t want them coming and starting a bon fire in the barbecue.”

OPTION continued from page 1 wants to do whatever is best for families. “I’m waiting to hear what the community thinks,” said Wooden on Monday, circulating the open house to listen to what parents were saying. The proposed option areas are Ocean Air-Sage Canyon; Sage Canyon-Ashley Falls; Ocean Air-Torrey Hills; Del Mar Hills-Carmel Del Mar; and Sycamore RidgeAshley Falls. Within the option areas, once a student picks a school they will have resident status at that school. The district will make every

effort to attempt to place the student in the school of their choice. If there is no room at either school, a family may select any other school where there is space available. “I think it’s much better than what they said two years ago, they’re being a lot more flexible,” said a parent who lives in the Palacio community off Carmel Country Road that has dealt with many shifts. Families residing there have seen their home school go from Carmel Del Mar to Ashley Falls, and then half of the community was also Sage Canyon. “The key is that the district keeps their word,” said the parent, noting that if the

option plan is selected, it should stick and not be changed in another two years. One of the driving forces of the options is the enrollment statistics, provided by Decision Insight. The enrollment projections look ahead to the future out to 2021. Of all the schools, the one with numbers consistently overflowing is Ocean Air, the school that over the last few years has had the most issues with space and students. Extra classrooms are coming this summer to help the situation, but the predictions show that the school will continue to be impacted. By 2014-15, Ocean Air is expected to be

97 students over capacity. Another school that will be heavily impacted by future growth is Sycamore Ridge, with the build-out of Pacific Highlands Ranch. In 2019-20, the numbers predict Sycamore could be over capacity by 188 students and in 2020-21 as many as 268. “I think it’s a great idea to offer options,” said a Sage Canyon parent. “It’s best to keep students that live in the same areas going to the same schools. It builds a sense of community and I think that’s what everyone wants. All the schools around here are good.” Information on the option areas is available online at www.dmusd.org.

Education Matters/Opinion/Commentary ADHD going back centuries BY MARSHA SUTTON How many parents have watched their children, more often boys, bouncing off the walls and running wild, unable to sit still or focus on a task for more than a few seconds? We’ve all Marsha Sutton seen these kids – they are easily distracted, can’t wait their turn, and move around like mini-tornadoes. Is this just “being a boy” disease, or is it a medical condition that needs treatment? David Feifel, M.D., professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego, is an expert on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, particularly in adults, and offered insights into the phenomenon of ADHD at a recent adult lecture at UCSD titled “ADHD Across the Lifespan.” Because ADHD has gained more attention in the past few decades doesn’t mean it’s a new disease. ADHD is an old condition, observed and documented since the late 1700s, he said, and has generally been defined as the inability to inhibit impulsive behavior. Girls also suffer from ADHD, although they can lack the hyperactivity aspect and so are easily overlooked, he said. Teachers often don’t identify the students who are not disruptive, those who sit quietly and daydream. But girls, Feifel said, can be internally pre-occupied and have ADHD with non-activated hyperactivity. About 8 percent of school-age children and about 4.5 percent of adults have ADHD, he said, with statistics similar across cultures and countries. So this is not just an American phenomenon. Four times as many males are diagnosed with ADHD as females, and in 60 percent of cases the condition persists into adulthood. This means, on the positive side, that about 40 percent of children and adolescents grow out of the condition as their brains mature or they learn to cope and function appropriately. The 8 percent adolescent figure may seem low to those living in more affluent communities, but Feifel said 8 per-

cent is the “true rate.” He distinguished between the “true rate” and the “diagnosed rate,” which depends upon several factors. Those who live in low-income areas may see doctors less frequently, are less knowledgeable about Dr. David Feifel identifying symptoms, or are less exposed to outside sources that can alert families to the condition. “If I went to one school and gave a free public talk to teachers and parents on ADHD, the diagnosis rate at that school may change and end up differently than the school in the next neighborhood, even though the prevalence of ADHD among the students is identical,” Feifel said in an email. The “true rate” is the prevalence of a disease or condition in the general population. “That’s a rigorous way to determine how many people have a condition whether they know it or not, whether they see a doctor or not,” he said. Findings consistently show that, in studies of randomly selected subjects, about 8 out of every 100 kids have ADHD. That number, he said, has stayed fairly constant over the last few decades, despite pockets of increased diagnoses in higher socio-economic communities with more awareness and access to medical attention. The rise in the diagnosed rate of ADHD is likely due to greater education of public and health professionals and also greater recognition of the spectrum of the disease, Feifel said. Causes of ADHD Feifel, founder and director of the UCSD Adult ADHD Program, identified three core features of ADHD: inattention/distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity which sufferers may or may not have. A fourth feature is the tendency to be impatient and easy to anger. ADHD sufferers also tend to have low self-esteem. To be clinically diagnosed with ADHD, the subject must be observed with six of the following nine traits of inattention on a consistent basis:

•carelessness •difficulty sustaining attention •won’t listen •no follow-through •can’t organize •procrastination on tasks requiring sustained mental efforts •loses important items •easily distracted •forgetful in daily activities For the second feature, impulsivity, symptoms include blurting out answers in class or responses to queries, inability to wait his or her turn, and intruding or interrupting frequently. For hyperactivity, ADHD patients will fidget, can’t stay seated, run or climb excessively, can’t work or play quietly, talk incessantly, and are always “on the go.” Adolescent ADHD patients are typically about three years behind their peers in brain development and maturation. This, Feifel said, was not related to intelligence, noting that these children often have very high IQs, but rather has to do with functions controlled by the prefrontal cortex, such as inhibition and impulsivity. Into adulthood, symptoms will change and manifest differently – specifically, the hyperactivity component will diminish. Instead, experts will see adult patients who, for example, can’t read a book through to end or can’t retain information on pages just read. For many sufferers, Feifel said, they see the big picture but can’t focus on details, so they can be highly creative. But, overall, he said the condition is still a major handicap. ADHD is not a psychological condition, Feifel said. “There is compelling evidence that this is a brain-based disorder,” he said, saying PET scans have revealed that ADHD patients have less activity in the pre-frontal cortex. He presented scientific evidence that ADHD is biological and inherited, with a 75 to 80 percent genetic component. “The biggest single contributor to ADHD is genetics,” Feifel said. An ADHD parent has a 25 to 50 percent chance of having a child with ADHD, he said, and if one twin has ADHD, there’s an 80 to 90 percent chance the other twin will too. What does not cause ADHD, he noted, is bad parenting or too much See ADHD, page 7

CVMS Bobcats stomp the competition to win first place at Science Olympiad Regional Competition BY CHIDI PR CHIDAMBARAM Carmel Valley Middle School won first place at the annual middle school Science Olympiad — again! The Science Olympiad competition was held in Rancho Bernardo High School on Feb. 4 where 1,350 students from 28 different schools competed in 23 different events by organizing the children into 90 different teams. “This is the largest middle school event in the country,” said Liz Jablecki, the San Diego regional director of the event. The Science Olympiad organization has been very successful in generating sports like cheers-and-tears excitement during this annual event. Science Olympians do not have to spot their teammate by the uniform in the lab to pass the test tube, but they all voluntarily wear the same uniform. Unlike sports events, the coaches and coordinators also wear the team uniform. You do not expect the Science Olympians to run around the ceremony auditorium displaying their team banner or stomp the wooden gallows to “we will, we will rock you” to cheer the crowd, but they do. Any school can field up to six teams of 15 children in each team. Carmel Valley had a full strength of 90 students prepared for the competition. The competition includes 23

events that are more or less evenly split between test taking, building, and lab work. Liz Jablecki handed out medals to the top 10 finishers in every event and ribbon recognition to the next 10 finishers. Finally, the top 10 schools were recognized. Carmel Valley Middle School was the 800-pound gorilla in the event. Apart from winning the competition as a school, they dominated the day by placing often in the top 20. Although 28 schools participated, Carmel Valley won 94 of the 460 medals and ribbons awarded. Of events coached by LiYing Jiang (Forestry) Anjali Madhekar (Meteorology), Charles Shim (Water quality), and Monalisa Chakraborty (Rocks/Minerals), everyone who participated from CVMS were recognized with a medal or a ribbon — a top 25 percent performer. The head coaches for this year’s team were Cindy Morrin and Erika Pollner. The last time Carmel Valley won this competition was in 2007, which was also the last time Cindy Morrin coordinated the event. Cindy and David Morrin, a mother- father are a coordinator- coach tag team then and now. Their elder son, Chase, then a Bobcat who won the Glider and Trebuchet event in Science Olympiad 2007, is now a Crimson at Harvard University.

Accomplished Cathedral Catholic musician to perform for top producers at ‘Sunset Sessions’ event BY MEGAN MCVAY Four years ago, Cathedral Catholic High School junior James Morris picked up a hand-me-down Yamaha guitar covered in band stickers and began experimenting with different riffs. Now, he looks forward to picking up his glossy Taylor guitar and sharing the stage with big-name artists, such as Jason Mraz, Jimmy Cliff and Everlast, at Sunset Sessions 2012 on Feb. 16. Morris, a self-taught musician, began writing songs when he was 14 years old and landed his first performance at the San Diego Fair the summer of 2009. Only a few months later, the high school freshman was booked to play his second show at Soma San Diego. After a band cancelled at the last minute, he was asked to perform a 45-minute set comprised of 13 songs— an incident that allowed him to bypass a budding musician’s stage fright phase before it had even begun. With such confidence, Morris was able to continue writing innovative songs and eventually create two albums called “Fall” and “Three Part Plan.” He is now in the process of releasing his third album, “Speed of Dark.” “Sometimes writing a song comes easily and sometimes it involves a long revision process. I’ll grab my guitar and play the same riff over and over again until something comes to me. But I never force songs, I wait to let the world inspire me,” said Morris. By 2010, Morris had already adopted the titles of singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist, and soon decided that he wanted to add acting to his repertoire by collaborat-

ing with Sundawg Media Company to produce his first music video. Morris traveled to Phoenix and endured the 103-degree weather in order create the music video for “Find You,” a song produced by multi-platinum producer Gardner Cole. Soon after, Morris wrote a science-fiction book called “Skybound,” which inspired his breakthrough song, “Speed of Dark.” Charles Unger, a filmmaker for the Warped Tour who had met Morris at Sunset Sessions, heard the song and compared it to Salvador Dali’s paintings in terms of expressiveness. Moved by the lyrics, Charles Unger and Paula Unger decided to produce Morris’s second music video at El Mirage Dry Lake in Barstow, Calif. Morris’s music has played an instrumental role in the lives of others. Because one of his main goals is to give back through his music, Morris has become involved in many charities associated with child abduction and abuse prevention, such

as the Gina Foundation for Missing Persons, HOC/Believe in Something and the Alicia Project. This year, Morris was named a delegate of the National Child Abuse Prevention Month and participated in the Gina Foundation Squeaky Wheel Tour. During the 12-day tour, Morris traveled with other musicians to play concerts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Arizona and New York to raise awareness for the many children who go missing every year. “I think that raising awareness for issues like child abduction and human trafficking by combining a heavy subject with hopeful music leaves a really big impact,” said Morris. This year, Morris also hopes to leave a big impact on the various music producers, bands and record companies that will be attending Sunset Sessions. Although this year is the first year Morris will be playing on the main stage, it is by no means his first time attending the industry-only event at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. Three years ago, he gave his CD and business card to Michele Clark, the

founder of the premier industry event who has fostered the radio airplay and success of artists, including Maroon 5, Jack Johnson, Jewel, Coldplay, Matchbox 20 and John Mayer. After listening to a couple of tracks, Clark honored Morris and his mother with guest passes for the entire three-day event. Since then, Morris has been dedicated to the “Sunset Sessions family” and last year even wrote a single called “Radio Star,” which he performed at the KPRI 102.1 booth at Sunset Sessions. However, this year Morris will be doing more than exchanging business cards as he picks up his Takamine guitar and plays a full 20 minute set in front various record label companies and multi-platinum producers. With more than 100 songs to his name and performances at the House of Blues and SOMA in his history, Morris has embodied the spirit of a budding musician and the rhythm of success. “My goal is to continue touring and writing songs and eventually make a liv-

ing off of my passion. I want to use my music to make a difference in the world,” said Morris. View “Speed fo Dark”: http://youtu. be/9iDrBNFNEHY. For more information on James Morris, visit www.jamesmorris. com

Patriot Profiles: ‘My job is to bring everyone home alive’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY This column presents patriot profiles to provide readers insight into the lives of o=ur country’s heroes. When you’re up against terrorists who blend into their familiar shadowy nooks and crowded cities, their numbers are often elusive and consistently lethal. United States Reconnaissance Marines are inserted on their turf to locate them and observe their movements. Mindset is everything for a small six-man team dealing with hot, cold and wet environments, carrying heavy loads, and keeping morale up. They trudge on for weeks without personal comforts in an alternate reality from what we know. The information they report is essential to the battalion commander shaping the battle space. Keep going — do a little more are the thoughts that repeatedly drive them. In an interview rarely given, I had the honor of meeting Master Sergeant

David A. Jarvis, Battalion Training Chief of 1st Recon Battalion, Camp Pendleton, Calif. Born in Bremerton, Wash., and raised in Port Orchard through high school, Jarvis got tired of rain and wanted to travel the world. He joined the Marine Corps in 1996 as an Infantryman. It was while he was an instructor at the School of Infantry in Camp Pendleton that he had the chance to move into Reconnaissance. His maturity, exceptional physical ability, reliability, and intelligence was evident to leaders. At Camp Pendleton, 2002, Jarvis moved into the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company. After going through rigorous courses in basic Recon training, it was on to either Sniper school or Ranger school. To even get in the sniper course, you have to be an expert shooter on the rifle range, physically fit and medically sound. “I knew what I was getting into. I wanted to take myself to the next level” re-

members Jarvis, a handsome upstart ready to excel. There were two things that worried him. “I’d never done longrange shooting. You’re supposed to be able to hit a 10inch target, dealing with the wind and elements, out to 1000 yard range. That’s the M-40 A3 weapon system’s capabilities.” David continues, “I had no one to mentor me as a sniper. It was ‘Here’s the quota for the school — good luck. We think you have what it takes.’ You have to study verbiage and definitions, the nomenclature of the gun — so, I’ve got to burn oil at night.” Learning to stalk was another worry. “Getting around crawling on the ground — I didn’t know if I’d be good at it.” In 2007, David was sent to Okinawa, Japan, to serve with Special Operations Training Group (SOTG). Here, Recon Marines learn Close Quarter Battle (CQB), Reconnaissance and Surveillance skills, including breecher (explosives) and urban sniper training. This advanced training and instructing added to David’s already diverse skill set as a Reconnaissance Marine, which includes jumping,

diving, observing and reporting. Doing all this, Jarvis is considered a “jack-of-all trades,” an interesting title for someone who would be awarded two Presidential citations for bravery on the battlefield during the Global War on Terror. The goal in Reconnaissance is to paint the picture, while standing as far off as possible from the target being observed. “As a sniper,” Jarvis says, “various highpowered optics help me pick up characteristics about individuals down range beyond ‘that’s a bad guy.’ I can talk about demeanors, interactions – basically look for trouble and report that information. Sniping gives you an enhanced tool to employ, but 90 percent of the time it’s reporting.” If the target gets too close, “I want to make sure that’s the target that deserves to go down. I would never scratch my head afterwards and say ‘I shouldn’t have done that.’ If I was backed in a corner with no other choice, I would do what I had to do, but every time I’ve taken a shot — it’s been methodical. Positively identifying the threat and knowing he’s there to do the same damage to you, that’s when it becomes personal and a serious game.” This extraordinary jackof-all trades has been deployed twice to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and once, in 2010, to Operation

Master Sergeant David A. Jarvis Enduring Freedom (OEF). During these deployments he was sent off to play the deadly game. (1) In July and August, 2010, serving as Platoon Sergeant of 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1 Marine Expeditionary Force, Jarvis and his element were caught in separate ambushes in Trek Nawa, Afghanistan. While engaged in heavy fighting with large numbers of Tali-

In both fights, his bold and decisive actions allowed them to identify targets and advance on the ever elusive enemy. SEE PATRIOT, PAGE 15

Local residents to be honored at benefit for Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center BY JOE TASH Local residents Randy Woods and Wendy Walker will be honored later this month at a gala held to benefit the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center on the campus of UC San Diego. Woods and Walker are longtime supporters of the center, which opened its new 128,000-square foot facility last year. The Heart of San Diego gala, now in its 15th year, will be held at 6 p.m. on Feb. 25 at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad. For tickets or information, visit www.heartcentergala.com or call or (858) 534-6223. Woods is founder and managing director of Eden Woods Investments, and has worked in cardiovascular drug development for most of his career. He is a board member for the cardiovascular center and in that capacity has helped raise funds for the new building and the equipment needed to run it. Walker is executive producer for Larry King, whose long-running interview show on CNN ended in December 2010. King continues to do specials for CNN. Over the years, said Walker, she and King have produced hundreds of shows on medical topics, including many on heart health. Among Walker’s recent contributions to the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center was helping to convince Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, to serve as MC at this year’s gala. Money raised this year will be used to purchase a da Vinci Surgical System for the performance of robotic, minimally-invasive cardiovascular procedures. The Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center includes outpatient clinics, four operating rooms, 54 hospital beds for cardiac patients and an emergency room. “This is world class, state-of-the-art, cardiovascular center that people will probably come from all over the world to go to,” said Woods. “If I’m going to be treated for a cardiovascular condition, I want to go where they have the latest and the great-

est,” he said. Walker said her father suffered a heart attack when he was in his 30s, before she was born, and lived with heart disease his entire life. She also learned about heart disease by working with King, who has suffered from heart-related ailments for more than 20 years. She said the public needs to know that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States. Randy Woods and Wendy Walker “It’s not a man’s disease, we all have to be really careful,” she said. Another local resident who has supported the cardiovascular center over the years is internationally known fashion designer Zandra Rhodes, a Del Mar resident who has a design studio in Solana Beach. Rhodes has designed the invitations for the gala, as well as collectibles given to attendees, such as glass paperweights. She said she became involved through her partner, entertainment executive Salah Hassanein, who suffered a heart attack and had a pacemaker implanted.

We feel your pain. And then we fix it. We know how much your sport matters to you, because we’re athletes too. And we’re as committed to your recovery as you are. At UC San Diego Sports Medicine, we treat your muscles, bones and joints from head to toe. For more information, call 858-657-8200 or visit sportsmedicine.ucsd.edu.

“We realized there needed to be a dedicated facility for dealing with problems to do with the heart, as well as a training facility. It’s really the only center of its kind between here and L.A.,” she said. Rhodes helped with this year’s gala while preparing for a Feb. 29 fashion show in Paris. She said San Diego needed a facility like the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center to become a destination, “not just a pretty place where you have to leave if something happens.”

continued from page 12 His heroism saved fellow Marines and earned him a Bronze Star. “As the leader of the platoon, my job is to bring everybody home alive. I don’t know how many [Taliban] I’m up against. I don’t know where they’re at. They’re hitting us first.” reports Jarvis. (1) October 2010 saw another ambush on Jarvis’ patrol. While supporting combat operations in Afghanistan’s volatile Helmund Province, the enemy attacked with an improvised explosive device (IED). Shortly after came heavy volleys of machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) fire. Jarvis exposed himself to enemy fire as he repositioned his Marines and directed fires. As sensitive reporting indicated a large enemy force massing on the area, he led his Marines to hold their position during the hour-long firefight. Realizing the fight was jeopardizing a medical evacuation, Jarvis again exposed himself - crossing open terrain to coordinate fires and personally launch an AntiArmor Weapon rocket. His selfless actions saved the life of a critically-wounded Marine and earned him a Silver Star. From this leader of men who’s seen the worst; “There’s 10 things going on at once and each situation is unique. You’ve got to be able to think and make critical decisions on the spot – that takes experience. If you go toe-to-toe with them, make a stand and are bold in return, they’re less likely to do something they previously did.”

February 16, 2012 “We try to portray peace and improving their environment and build a sense of trust with the Afghan people. We advertise our humanitarian efforts. I think they truly appreciate our efforts over there, but they’ve got the Taliban strong arm that continues to whip them if they interact with us,” David said. “I’d be scared to death if I were out there by myself. You’ve got Recon guys to your left and right. You’ve got air and ground support. If something happens to you, you’re going to be taken care of. It’s not what I’m doing – it’s what we all do together.” Throughout MSgt. Jarvis’ OEF deployment, he participated in 70 combat patrols, 40 firefights and five complex ambushes resulting in a substantial reduction of enemy forces. On the other side of the gun, this still young, but peppered Battalion Training Chief oversees training making sure it’s safe. David and his wife (a Chief Warrant Officer) have only visited his home state for three months out of 16 years of service to his country. Upon retirement, he would like to live a life with their families and fish Washington’s pristine lakes and rivers. Those Bass don’t know who they’re dealing with.

BY JAN PARSONS, DMSB ROTARY PUBLIC RELATIONS Members of the Del Mar - Solana Beach Rotary know how to both work and play hard. As we prepare for our 16th Annual Bocce Ball Tournament on Sunday, March 4, we recently gathered at the Surf Song club house in Solana Beach for a Dove Chocolate Discoveries tasting party, arranged by social chair & Bocce auction committee member Roseann Piazza Jones. Fellow Rotarians not only enjoyed each others company and great chocolate goodies (starting with chocolate martinis), but we also raised funds & bought enough tasty treats to supply over $250 worth of chocolate for a “chocolate basket” for the Bocce auction/raffle. Then club members were presented with a two week super bowl challenge with the goal to double the current dollar commitment of sponsorships and auction items to $62,836. Not only did we meet the challenge but we surpassed it by $1,000 as members talked with colleagues, friends, and community business leaders about Rotary and Bocce and how we raise funds to help those less fortunate, especially kids and families. We celebrated with a gathering at Chiefs where the first round of drinks was picked up by members of the Bocce Committee. Now Bocce chair Charles Foster is encouraging members to hit the original revenue goal of $75,000. No doubt with his strong leadership and a hard- working Bocce committee the club will make that goal.

Bocce Auction Committee members Roseann Piazza Jones, Jody McDonald, & Glenda Collins. Join us at our Bocce Tournament on March 4 starting at 9 a.m. at the Del Mar Horsepark, 14550 El Camino Real, Del Mar as over 100 teams ND 300 people gather for fun and fundraising. Visit dmsbBocce.com for more information or to sign up a team, sponsorship, or auction item. To learn more about this dynamic club, please join us at our weekly meetings on Friday mornings at the DoubleTree Hotel in Carmel Valley from 7:15 – 8:30 a.m. You can also contact President Kirk Collins at 619-254-8234 or visit dmsbRotary. com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

e3 Consulting employs holistic approach to helping students BY KATHY DAY Rebecca Hayes, owner of a company that helps “educate, enrich and empower” individual students, said she thought outside the box when she started e3 Consulting. The daughter of a teacher and a small business owner, she said she knew early on that she enjoyed working with students but also knew that she didn’t see herself in a typical school setting. “I could picture Rebecca Hayes what it looked like,” she said. “So I just jumped in.” A graduate of the University of San Diego with a degree in special education, Hayes opened e3 in August after seven years as co-owner of Mindful Mentoring. Her new endeavor is to provide “consistent, quality educational therapy and consultation” with programs offering a physical outlet and character-building skills. It’s not a typical tutoring or counseling center. Hayes said she prides herself on focusing on the whole child, “staying close and building the kids up” because without selfconfidence their chances for success are diminished. If parents notice a dip in their child’s self-confidence, that’s the time to pick up the phone and seek support, she added. “That’s often when kids start to get in trouble.”

That includes visiting teachers and school staff and observing how her charges are doing in their daily settings, offering family and individual counseling and even nutrition counseling. And now, in addition to the one-on-one work at the center, she’s offering Surf Sessions or Beach Sculpt. There’s also a summer learning camp. On Sundays, the boys in the surfing program meet at the beach with their instructor who teaches them to surf while emphasizing camaraderie, ocean and life awareness, and character building. Meanwhile, for the girls, e3 offers Beach Sculpt, although Hayes said she eventually will add Surf Sessions for girls, as well. The girls meet at the office and walk the few blocks to the beach for a similar focus that mixes Pilates and yoga with life lessons. With a staff of 11 that includes teachers, coaches and surfing instructors, as well as a family therapist, SAT/ACT prep instructor and a counselor who assists families with the complicated process of figuring out college and scholarship applications, e3 Consulting can help families in a variety of ways. “Families don’t come to us to push grades,” Hayes said. Instead, the reasons may be learning disabilities or a family struggle — perhaps divorce or illness — or because a youngster is “struggling socially or closing off.” Typically, she noted, students come twice a week for private sessions with the other activities supplementing the individual work. There are no contracts or agreements, but most families enroll for about a year. “These rates all vary, though I have kept them extremely reasonable, for I want these families to be able to afford our services,” she added. Her success stories include a boy, now a seventh grader who was born with cleft lip. “He was broken, struggling academically and had no self-confidence or self-awareness. Now he’s an almost straight-“A” student, plays lacrosse, surfs

and plays the guitar.” Another is Kara Guthrie’s third-grade son Keenan. He’s been working with Hayes twice a week for about a year and a half, Guthrie said. Diagnosed with dysgraphia — a learning disability that affects writing skills — and with A student works diligently on her dyslexia, Keenan homework. had major anxiety attacks every Monday when it was time to go to school, his mom said. “Since we started working with Becky, his grades have gone up every quarter,” she added. On top of that, he’s jumped from the 29th percentile to the 88th in his standardized test scores in just a year. And, most days, he’s beyond the Monday-morning trauma. “Becky understands his challenges,” Guthrie said. “When she’s on campus she’ll even sends me reassuring texts.” It’s that connection with not just the students, but their families, doctors and teachers that is what Hayes says sets her business apart.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Input needed from those who live near polo fields It was interesting to learn that the Carmel Valley planning board wants its voice heard regarding any future use of the polo fields. We hope the voice they want heard will include input from those of us who live adjacent to these fields and are directly affected by their use. Up until now we have not been asked for our opinion by anyone. With regard to Mr. Frisco White’s defense of use by the Surf Club, we wonder if he has had any personal experience with near high-speed

collisions on Via de la Valle, large numbers of automobiles, crowds of people, and noise all caused by the presence of the soccer people. We know about this because we have to put up with it day after day. All of this has a negative effect on the quality of life in our neighborhood. As a reminder, this property was leased by the city of San Diego “exclusively” for polo and did not allow “large assemblages of people and automobiles.” Soccer and Lacrosse tournaments

both violate these principles. Another factor that must be considered is the pending construction of a large assisted living facility on Via de la Valle. This project, if built, would eliminate the parking area now used for tournaments. In that case, where will the hundreds of cars that descend on the polo fields be parked? Does the CV board have a solution to that? Rudy and Rosanna Biller

Proposed development will change CV I am a Carmel Valley resident and I am disturbed by the One Paseo proposed development. My wife and I moved to Carmel Valley two years ago to move away from a congested part of San Diego. Since moving to the area, we made several lasting friendships with our neighbors. We enjoy the proximity to beaches, parks, stores, restaurants, and virtually anything we need. I’m happy to say that my wife and I are expecting our first child this summer. We look forward to a time when our child, and hopefully children, will be students in the wonderful Carmel Valley schools. I love living in Carmel Valley. The people, the loca-

tion, the convenience, and the schools make a wonderful combination. The proposed One Paseo development, which is half a mile from my home, would destroy much of Carmel Valley’s identity and begin changing the wonderful, convenient landscape of Carmel Valley into an unrecognizable, congested, and overcrowded area. The proposed One Paseo development would congest what is already becoming a difficult-to-navigate intersection, Del Mar Highlands and El Camino Real. The insertion of a large, regional shopping center into that intersection would greatly change the dynamic of the western-most part of Carmel Valley. With in-

It’s called ‘broken trail’ for a reason It was a beautiful weekend at Torrey Pines state beach, but I couldn’t help wonder why they need two people in a booth to take tickets, plus two vehicles patrolling the park. Why not replace the people with a ticket machine like most every other parking lot? The union could re-train one of the two to fill in the 63 potholes that occur between

the bottom and the golf course, the other could still stand and watch and at least they would be out in the fresh air. I am exaggerating a bit on the number of potholes, one was far too big to be called a hole...if it was a bit farther west they would call it a “fairway bunker.” Craig A. Nelson Solana Beach

creased traffic comes difficult ingress and egress out of and back into our homes and businesses. Increased traffic also increases frustration — and aggression — in our neighbors and visitors to the area. I am worried increased traffic will change the feel of the community to a cutthroat environment where no courtesy exists for normal tasks such as finding a parking space or walking safely through a parking lot. The proposed One Paseo development will create these problems in our community and invite a congested mess of cars, people, pollution, and noise that will change the community into something Carmel Valley families do not want to see or be a part of.

To put the scale of this project into context, visualize the following example. The proposed One Paseo development sits on 23 acres, which is roughly double the size of Horton Plaza downtown. The developed square footage of Horton Plaza is roughly 800,000 square feet while the current proposal for One Paseo two-and-a-half times larger — 1,800,000 square feet. The large-scale mall that Horton Plaza is would be dwarfed by the proposed One Paseo development, and it will be in my, and your, backyard. This is not what people envisioned when they decided to become a part of Carmel Valley, and it will result in families leaving. Change is a

The train has left the station — fortunately! Thankfully, wiser heads have rejected Mayor Hilliard’s nostalgic/retro/bananas proposal to have trains stop at the now privately-owned Del Mar station. That train has left the station, the transit folks told Hilliard. What’s next, Mr. Mayor? What do you want to bring back next? Prohibition? Rabbit ear antennas? Meter free street parking?

More slick PR for One Paseo? I was amused by Janette Littler’s letter to the editor in the Feb. 9 edition of this newspaper in which she advocates for the proposed One Paseo project. She refers to a project encompassing two 10-story buildings, an 8-story building, four 5-story buildings, parking structures up to seven levels and as much retail as the Del Mar Highlands Town Center as providing the “family-friendly, small-town atmosphere we long for.” Can Ms. Littler really be this naive? Or is there another more sinister explanation?

Is this the same Janette Littler who is president/CEO of Callidus Consulting Group, Inc., which bills itself out on its website as “political consultants and public affairs professionals” experienced in “fighting many political and public affairs battles by implementing winning strategies and aggressive tactics that control and direct messaging...”? Is this the same Janette Littler who was consultant in the building up of a large San Diego fund by developers and lobbyists to support ballot measures weakening community control

over development? Could it be that Ms. Littler is employed as Kilroy’s consultant, while concealing that fact and passing herself off as just a Carmel Valley resident? If so, one must conclude that Ms. Littler’s letter is one more of the developer’s “tactics” to “control messaging” and to manipulate the Carmel Valley community. Gabriele M. Prater Carmel Valley resident and past vice chair, Carmel Valley Community Planning Board

part of life, but this proposed development would change the area for the worse and deprive Carmel Valley of its identity. I implore you to take a hard look at what you enjoy about Carmel Valley. Ask yourself if what you want for the area is more cars crowding already full streets and shopping centers. Do you want less community and more commercialization? If One Paseo is developed, Carmel Valley will be something different than the community we love. Do not let it happen. Thank you for your time and consideration. Derek Wilson

Theaters today I agree with a recent article on movie theaters and the kind of movies that they are showing today that are rarely family films and usually violent rated “R or NR.” No wonder we have seen the absence of many movie theaters in North Country. Right now I have to drive a long way to find a movie theater that has something I would like to see and I like movies. I recently returned from the Film Festival in Palm Springs and saw quite a few movies, many foreign films, that were delightful along with some documentaries that I enjoyed. There is another solution for theatergoers and that is live theater. Right in my backyard there is the North Coast Repertory Theatre that has been producing live theater for thirty years in a back corner space in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza in Solana Beach. The plays have a wide range of interest with actors and their performances that are superb. There are many other small community theaters like this one that offer plays for adults, teens and young children along with a wide range of theater classes and chances to audition for upcoming shows. The experience of live theater is a real art form. Watching a play unfold in front of you in live form is amazing and provides a personally rewarding experience. Watching children perform is equally enjoyable and the young actors really have the feeling of accomplishment in addition to learning a lot about speaking, memorizing and stage presence. Check your local papers for local performances and get ready for a treat especially if you haven’t seen “real theater” in a while. I bet you won’t be disappointed. Marion B. Dodson Rancho Santa Fe

WRESTLING continued from page 1 wrong message” to the students, and that he did nothing to deserve dismissal. The kids, said Sam Carrillo, “had the rug pulled out from under them.” Parent Richard Baer said after losing the match the Julian wrestler refused to shake the opposing coach’s hand, as all team members are required to do, and, approaching Van Dyke, raised his fist, showed his middle finger and shouted obscenities. “He seemed very angry toward our coach,” said Baer, after the meeting. “I don’t understand where that anger stemmed from.” “The kid flipped me off and said FU to me,” said Van Dyke after the meeting. “I don’t know why he was upset with me personally. He didn’t do that toward my wrestler.” He said the Julian wrestler’s father came at him too, screaming profanities, until the parent was held back by other adults. The Julian wrestling coach was not aggressive, Van Dyke said, although he was unable to control his athlete and the parent. “Obviously they acted inappropriately,” he said. “They were definitely in the wrong.” Van Dyke, who’s been involved with the sport for nearly 20 years, said he’s never seen a wrestler attack a coach before. “It’s an aggressive sport,” he said. “Emotions are high. But coming after a coach is not the right thing to do.” “I was rather shocked at this behavior,” said Baer. “I’ve never seen a wrestler behave like this.” Fired, then rehired Van Dyke said he didn’t know why he was fired. “I didn’t get a clear answer,” he said. “Obviously it had something to do with the incident.” CCA principal Kohn said the district’s early investigation indicated that Van Dyke acted inappropriately, so he was released. As more information came to light, the decision was reversed. Kohn declined to provide further details, citing internal personnel issues. Rick Schmitt, associate superintendent of educational services, said Van Dyke was originally dismissed because, after the initial investigation, “we were concerned that the

PAGE 19

February 16, 2012 coach’s behavior was inconsistent with our expectations of coaches and CIF policy on coaching behavior.” Van Dyke was reinstated on Feb. 6, Schmitt said, after new information became available. “We were able to speak to more people who were present at the match who gave us a different perspective on the incident,” he said. Schmitt also said that, in the best interests of the student athletes, the coach should be able to finish the season. The decision to reinstate Van Dyke for the remainder of the season was welcome news for the students and their parents. “I’m very happy with the school district,” said Baer, whose son is a senior in his fourth year in CCA’s wrestling program. “I’m very happy with the board, and I’m also very happy with principal Kohn and assistant principal Copeland.” “We’re all very pleased,” Singer said. “They listened, they looked into it, and they acted. I’m pleased with our district.” Van Dyke credits the parents for pressuring the district to reverse the decision to release him. “I think it was 100 percent the effort of the parents,” he said. “They were there. They saw that I didn’t do anything wrong.” Parents and team supporters, he said, were “so inflamed by what happened” that they organized the effort to come and speak at the school board meeting. “I didn’t ask the parents to do [that],” he said. Schmitt said the speakers were not necessarily a factor in the decision to reverse the firing. “We were

moving in that direction,” he said. Julian High School wrestling coach Tony Massa and principal David Schlottman did not respond to requests for comment. Complaint filed San Dieguito filed a complaint with Julian High School and will not be scheduling wrestling events with the school in the future, Schmitt said. But no complaint was filed with the California Interscholastic Federation, the governing body for high school sports in California, because CIF does not have jurisdiction to fire coaches or do investigations, he said. CIF wrestling commissioner Jerry Schniepp said CIF would only get involved if CIF could review a video of the incident or if an official had ejected someone from the match. That someone could be a student, parent or coach. “If we had a video, we could potentially intervene,” Schniepp said. “Or if there was an ejection by an official, then we could take action. We didn’t have either one of those things.” He said it’s a school district personnel or student discipline issue for San Dieguito and Julian, and not something CIF would get involved in, absent a video or an official ejection. San Dieguito sent CIF a report of the findings, Schniepp said, after its investigation. He said Julian is aware of the incident and is handling it, but may or may not send CIF a report. He said sometimes districts handle their own disciplinary matters internally without providing findings or conclusions to CIF. Reports, he said, cannot

be disclosed if they involve personnel or student matters. Schniepp said an ejection of a coach, parent or student from a match based on gross unsportsmanlike conduct can carry a penalty of a six-game suspension. Even though descriptions of the confrontation would seem to indicate unsportsmanlike conduct, Schniepp said perhaps no one was ejected because “sometimes an official doesn’t see an incident occur. That is very possible.” Values and morals Van Dyke, who’s been a coach at CCA for the past six years, told the school board that the five-member team is a like a family. Baer said the coach instills values and morals in the kids. “It’s not just about winning the match,” he said. “It’s about how you behave when you win and how you behave when you lose.” Van Dyke said the parents appreciate what the sport does for their kids. “They see how their kids are better students,” he said. He said his team won the CIF academic award last year, and his wrestlers have the highest GPA of any wrestling team in the San Diego section. “I push them for good grades,” he said. “I push them to be more respectful to their parents. The parents see the changes in their kids when they become a part of the team. They see the value in it.” The wrestling season continues with the CIF divisional on Feb. 18, CIF masters Feb. 24-25, and state finals March 2-3.

She is currently working on two other books, a sequel to “Castle Bravo” titled “Trust but Verify,” and a one-off book in a more light-hearted vein called “Affairs of State.” “I spend a lot of time researching,” she said. “Then I write a character list. I do an extensive outline. Then once I do all to that, I sit down and start writing.” She can write a book in two to three months, she says, if she really focuses on it. “Many of my author friends say they will spend 25 percent of their time writing and 75 percent marketing. It’s really true.” Her marketing consists of doing book tours and speaking to groups. “I’ve done, I think it’s up to, 275 or more speeches and events around the country.” She is married to entrepreneur businessman and venture capital investor Dick Bodman. They met at a charity ball in Washington, D.C., 24 years ago. They have been married for 22 years and have four sons.

Rocking the Pink at the House of Blues •Writer, musician and breast cancer survivor has much to celebrate at event BY JOE TASH Laura Roppé has a whole lot to celebrate at the House of Blues in San Diego on March 8. Roppé, a mother of two and former attorney, is a singer-songwriter who has just written a memoir about her battle with an aggressive form of breast cancer. At the event, which will include her friends, family and musical collaborators, she’ll sign copies of her book, called “Rocking the Pink: Finding My Rock Star Self on the Other Side of Cancer,” which is due out next month. She’ll also take to the stage with her band to play songs from her two albums, “I’m Still Here,” which came out in 2011, and 2008’s “Girl Like This.” The event is free and open to the public and runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the House of Blues, 1055 5th Ave., San Diego. Along with a chance to showcase her literary and musical endeavors, the event marks Roppé’s successful navigation through the shoals of cancer diagnosis and treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Her last treatment was in mid-2009. “This is a huge milestone, you have to celebrate

these things,” said Roppé, 41, who lives locally with her husband, Brad, and daughters Sophie, 12, and Chloe, 9. “The world is invited.” The book, published by Seal Press, will be available in bookstores and online. It chronicles both her fight against cancer and her decision to stop practicing law and live her dream of singing, writing songs and performing. Roppé grew up in San Diego and married her high school sweetheart. She studied theater arts at UCLA, but later shifted her focus to attend law school and practice for 10 years in the areas of employment and business litigation.

Shortly before her cancer diagnosis in the fall of 2008, she recorded her first album, which included songs such as “Float Away,” which she now sees as eerily prescient: “She says, this life’s too heavy, I’ve reached the breaking point, if I check out now I can leave it all behind, and float, float away, but she hears the voice of her little girl, only thing that matters in this whole world, gotta find a way not to fade away, hold on, for one more day.” Roppé now believes the song was sent to her by “something bigger than myself. It’s just something inexplicable to me that was sent to me for my future self. I needed that song to help me get through.” The song “I’m Still Here,” which Roppé wrote during her chemotherapy treatment, takes on cancer more directly: “I kicked you hard and I’m not sorry, I beat you up and it felt good; Said hit the road, Jack, and I meant it, With half a chance, I’d do it again…. Nothing to pout about, just gotta shout about: I’m still here!” Those who are newly diagnosed with cancer need to know they are empowered to make a difference in the outcome, Roppé said. Like a marathon runner who focuses on one mile at a time, cancer patients should try to avoid focusing on the enormity of the struggle they face, she said. “Break off little pieces of it and chew those little pieces. Don’t make it into a big drama, just make it a day at a time,” she said. “Be

weak, be vulnerable and let people help.” Roppé hopes people who read her book will want to check out her music, and she sees both media as different ways of telling the same story, which is her unique take on life. Moving forward, she said, she wants to keep making music, which she hopes will lead to new adventures in life. Her career looks to be on a promising trajectory; in December, Billboard Magazine ranked her No. 5 on its list of the 50 top emerging artists of 2011, and the video for “I’m Still Here” has racked up more than 1 million hits on You Tube. “I have two kids and a husband, and a nice life. I’m not dreaming of being Britney Spears, playing arenas or doing a world tour. My dream is getting to go places and meet new people, I don’t really put a definition on what that looks like,” she said. To hear Roppé’s music and see her videos, visit www.lauraroppe.com.

‘Kathryn the Grape’ inspires kids around world on Internet and in books BY KELLEY CARLSON “Kathryn the Grape” is giving kids around the world something to talk about. The character is the inspiration behind an hourlong radio show that recently debuted on the Internet-based VoiceAmerica Kids Channel. Titled “Kathryn the Grape’s Magical Hour,” the program airs at noon Wednesdays and is co-hosted by local residents Audrey Koepke and Zara Irshad. They discuss various topics; answer questions; and interview inspiring kids, teens and adults, with a goal of helping other children feel good about themselves. Modeled after creator Kathryn Cloward, Kathryn the Grape is an “everyday girl” who spreads messages of love and aims to build self-esteem. “She wears a sweat shirt, likes to play sports, sing and dance, hang out with friends ... like everyday kids,” Cloward said. So far, two books have been published featuring the high-spirited character – with a third due out this summer — and the series was just named a Silver Award winner by the Mom’s Choice Awards. And now Kathryn the

Kathryn Cloward, right, and Astra Kelly, left. Grape is expanding into other platforms, in what appears to be a natural progression. “The entire journey of Kathryn the Grape — from the first step — is all about trusting that I’m being led in the right direction,” said Cloward, a local resident. “I didn’t have a clear role on where I was going to go, but I had a clear vision of what to become.” Cloward took her character and team to the gift lounge at the 28th annual Daytime Emmy Awards on June 19. The first book, “Kathryn the Grape — Just Like Magic!” was included in the official gift bags. While at the event,

Cloward met two-time Emmy winner Martha Byrne, who was doing correspondence work for VoiceAmerica’s Soap Central Live. Byrne came through Cloward’s line and received a book, and the two women connected over a butterfly ring Byrne was wearing. In the Kathryn the Grape series, Maggie is a magical butterfly and Kathryn’s best friend, and represents the transformation process that is part of life. “We had a soul-to-soul butterfly connection,” Cloward said. After that fateful conversation, Byrne informed VoiceAmerica about Kathryn the Grape. Within the

person who is magical and unique.” When VoiceAmerica requested that a co-host be added just weeks before the talk radio show was to debut, Cloward contacted Audrey for suggestions. “Ideally for me, it would be someone who would have synergy with Audrey,” Cloward said. Audrey’s choice: her best friend and classmate, 10-year-old Zara. Cloward immediately contacted Zara. “It was literally two weeks before the show,” Cloward said. Zara confessed that she hadn’t been familiar with Kathryn the Grape, either. But she quickly became a fan. “Kathryn The Grape is a ‘Messenger of Love,’ ” Zara said. “I love how Kath-

ryn is kind to everyone and tries her best to make sure that everyone around her is feeling special, or as Kathryn the Grape would say, ‘magical.’ ” With the hosts in place, Cloward met with Audrey and Zara three times to train for “Magical Hour”: They practiced their script, and how to ask and respond to questions. A small studio was set up in Audrey’s home, complete with radio microphone and headsets.

hour, Cloward was talking with a VoiceAmerica executive producer, and the company — which had just launched its Kids Channel — became interested in having Kathryn the Grape featured in a show. They offered Cloward the opportunity for a “magical hour” each week. Cloward then put out a call for a young host, and eventually chose 10-yearold Audrey, a Santaluz resident. “(Audrey) seemed determined and really interested to learn,” Cloward said. “I had a gut feeling that she was a great kid to do it. She’s personable, and understands the purpose of Kathryn the Grape.” Even though she had no formal training, Audrey said she wanted to be a part of the radio show because she thought it would be a good opportunity to reach out to others and teach lessons of a lifetime. But she didn’t initially know about the character. “I was not familiar with Kathryn the Grape until I got the flier and read her message; then I wanted to try out for the interview,” the fifth-grader said. “I like how she is like a regular girl that likes to have fun and her message is to be a good

Local resident invites filmmakers to share their passion at festival

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley filmmaker Pierce Kavanaugh received his first camera when he was 13 years old, a gift to his father that was re-purposed as his own. “My brother and I just grabbed it and took it to the beach in the sand,” Kavanaugh said. He lugged around the VHS equipment and made goofy little movies of his friends using whatever was playing on the radio as his soundtrack as he shot from the beach. His equipment and expertise has grown since those first sandy days, but his love for the art of filmmaking remains about the same. He hopes to give young filmmakers an audience and the opportunity to share their passion with the first San Diego Surf Film Festival, to be held May 11-13. Kavanaugh has found some international success with his surf film “Manufacturing Stoke,” released last year with his production company Misfit Pictures, comprised of his wife, Petra, and partner Geoffrey Smart. The film’s theme is one of sustainability — as the film’s website states, no other sport is

as intrinsically linked to nature as surfing is and yet a majority of the materials used are environmentally toxic. Filmed up and down the California coast, it features interviews with “grassroots up and comers” who are “redefining what a surfer is supposed to ride,” looking at the progress of things such as wooden surfboards, recycled materials and organic clothing. The movie has been around the world, to France, Germany and Australia, where it is up for “Surf Film of the Year” at the Byron Bay International Film Festival next month. Kavanaugh and crew will head to Australia for three weeks for the 11-day festival,

March 2-11. More than 900 films were submitted and theirs stood out. “It’s not about awards though, it’s about getting the message out,” Kavanaugh said. “And it’s a unique message about sustainability in the surf industry. We just want people to see it.” “Although it would be nice to win,” Petra admitted. Kavanaugh grew up in La Jolla, spending much of his time on the beach as a water enthusiast and surfer. He got serious about filmmaking in college, getting a degree in film at UC Santa Barbara. “Ever since then I’ve been trying to make it a full time career, but it’s tough,” Kavanaugh said. Part of the struggle as a beginner is no one knows who you are. Lucky for Kavanaugh, he had a strong network of support in San Diego. He started his own production company, Misfit Pictures with Petra and Smart — “I’m the dreamer, she’s the connections and he (Geoffrey) is the nuts and bolts.” Smart is not a surfer but finds it hard not to appreciate making a good surf film — you can’t beat the beautiful imagery, he said. They work

The company had a big break of success with their film “Manufacturing Stoke,” which was released last year. That success really “snowballed” into the San Diego Surf Festival as Kavanaugh wanted to find a way to give

back to other beginning filmmakers. “We’re looking for independent filmmakers. We understand the struggle to get your films out there and get them seen,” Kavanaugh said. “We’re looking for people who do it for the passion and love for it.” The San Diego Surf Film Festival, founded with help from Leucadia resident Ed Lewis, will be held at Bird’s Surf Shed in the Mission Bay

Two Italian restaurants opening at Del Mar Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Chicago restaurateur Scott Harris is bringing two new Italian restaurants to Del Mar Highlands Town Center and promises that neither will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;another red sauce place.â&#x20AC;? Look for doors to open on Feb. 23 at Mia Francesca and Davanti Enoteca, both representing two different flavors of Italian cuisine. While Mia will be more rustic and family style, Davanti will be a wine bar with unique small dishes. Harris splits his time between Chicago and Carmel Valley, but since November has been more of a fixture on the West Coast as he opens eateries in San Diego and Arizona.

the Carmel Valley Mia Francisca will be the 23rd location. The Del Mar Highlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Davanti Enoteca will be the third location, the second opening in August of last year in Little Italy. Davanti is like stepping into a bit of old Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;its designed to look like a place thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there for years with reclaimed wood floors and walls accented with brick and old wine crates and corks. A halved wine barrel serves as a hostess stand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small, intimate space with an open kitchen, indoor and outdoor seating and a 12-seat bar. Another bar bellies up to the kitchen, encouraging interaction between customers and chefs.

Work continues on Davanti Enoteca, set to open Feb. 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much cozier, much warmer,â&#x20AC;? said Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to welcome people in with open arms, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about.â&#x20AC;? The concept is wine bar and more sophisticated foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Harris hopes it can become a place people stop by before or after a movie for a glass and a bite. The menu includes dishes that can be shared or served as a main entrĂŠe. There are small plates like cheeses and charcuterie, vasi (grilled bread with jars of spreads like ricotta and honey comb) and boards (presentations of dishes such as mascarpone polenta) and larger dishes like pasta, pizza and entrees such as grilled swordfish.

Mia Francesca is accessed from the Davanti side through a hallwayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the two restaurants will share a bathroom but little else. Harris describes the food at Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roman trattoriaâ&#x20AC;?style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be clean flavors, bigger portions and a paper menu that changes bi-weekly,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. Add-ons this week at other locations included risotto with Maine lobster; linguini with shrimp; scallops in a spicy cherry tomato sauce; roasted salmon with braised lentils; and heart-shaped pizza and ravioli for Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Both Davanti and Mia will have a gluten-free menu and the option for whole-

wheat pasta. Mia Francescaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space is much larger than Davanti, with warmly painted walls, glossy wood floors, a stamped metal ceiling and two large dining rooms with black and white photos and chandelier dĂŠcor still to come. Harris wants Mia Francesca to be a casual, family atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to feel like this is their neighborhood Italian place,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. Harris is happy to be a part of Del Mar Highlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newly refreshed visionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his restaurants will be close to where â&#x20AC;&#x201D; starting in March â&#x20AC;&#x201D; live music will be offered outside in the plaza near Cinepolis. He said the Del Mar Highlands is really becoming a dining destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone in the country is talking about this mall,â&#x20AC;? Harris said of the restaurant and mixed-use center industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming here to see the prototype of what they did. They did a great job here.â&#x20AC;?

A 14-ounce Prime Filet with asparagus spears, yellow wax beans, baby carrots and garlic mashed potatoes.

Everybody knows your name at Donovan’s bar, according to General Manager Debbie Shepard.

When it’s time for someplace special, Donovan’s doesn’t disappoint BY KELLEY CARLSON onovan’s Steak & Chop House is not just a prime location for beef entrees — it’s also a destination for celebrations. “We make dreams come true,” General Manager Debbie Shepard said. “(Donovan’s) is like Disneyland for adults.” The restaurant staff helps patrons celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and just about every occasion imaginable, and customizes the event to fit their needs. They’ve been known to hide engagement rings inside desserts, and specially create menus that say, “Will you marry me?” The entire Donovan’s establishment even assisted in the reunion of a mother and daughter who had been separated for 25 years. Shepard emphasized that guests are treated as if they’re family coming over for dinner. As patrons walk into the softly lit restaurant with Honduran mahogany paneling, they will find an atmosphere reminiscent of an old-fashioned Chicago steakhouse. The main dining room is accented with bronze sculptures such as cowboys and majestic birds, and lamps flicker with candlelight on the center of the white-clothed tables. Those who have dined at Donovan’s at least six times have a personalized nameplate placed next to their seats. Guests can comfortably sit and converse or listen to tunes by the old Rat Pack. Executive Chef Sal Reynoso, who helped open the restaurant’s flagship La Jolla location, meticulously prepares the USDA Prime steaks and other “classic” entrees, from chops and chicken to lamb and seafood, with his team. The steaks are flash-seared at 1,600º to seal juices, and finished to a customer’s preferred temperature. One favorite is the tender Prime Filet, which ranges in size from 8 ounces to 14 ounces. Other options include the

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.

■ This Week: Donovan’s Pan Seared Halibut

Peppercorn Filet; rib eyes; Bone-In New York; and a Mixed Grill, consisting of a 6-ounce Filet Mignon Medallion and a choice of Grilled Portabello Mushroom, Grilled Shrimp Scampi or Bacon Wrapped Scallops. Seafood lovers may want to take note of the Pan Seared Halibut with lemon and caper beurre blanc, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms, and topped with crispy shoestring potatoes.

Perhaps the item that is the biggest attention-getter is the Seafood Tower, a tall combination of Australian Coldwater Rock Lobster, Alaskan Red King Crab Legs, Canadian Snow Crab Claws and Mexican White Gulf Shrimp that is chilled in ice and served with dipping sauces. The special dish is marched through the dining room as part of its presentation whenever it’s ordered. Although known primarily for its steaks and seafood, there are vegetarian options, such as the Beefsteak Tomato and Red Onion salad that is dressed with balsamic vinaigrette, and Soup d’Jour. Donovan’s will also provide dishes for children, such as mac ‘n’ cheese. In the bar, complimentary Prime Filet steak sandwiches are served during happy hour, and on Tuesdays — Ladies Night — the chef creates special complimentary appetizers. Guests love Donovan’s bar, Shepard said. “Everyone knows your name here,” she explained. “It’s like the old ‘Cheers’ show.” In addition to seating in the main dining room and at the bar, there are six side rooms for private events: Qualcomm Room, with its eclectic decor and flat-screen TV; Chargers Room, honoring the home football team; Old Town Room, decorated with photos of San Diego in its early days; Wine Cellar Room, in which guests are surrounded by hundreds of bottles of vintages; Del Mar Room, lined with mahogany-framed autographed pictures of famous racehorses such as Triple Crown winner Affirmed and champion Cigar; and California Room, aptly named for its shape. Along with La Jolla, the restaurant has two other San Diego locations, a steak-andseafood establishment at Sixth Avenue and K Street, and Donovan’s Prime Seafood on Fifth Avenue. A fourth restaurant is in Phoenix.

Pacific Coast Grill inches closer to March opening BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net The ocean-front building at 2526 South Coast Highway that once housed the much-loved Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s By The Sea restaurant is still visibly under construction, but those awaiting the opening of Pacific Coast Grill need not worry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; owner Steve Goldberg said the restaurant is in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;fourth quarterâ&#x20AC;? of the completion process and will open next month. Pacific Coast Grill sat for more than 15 years in the Beachwalk Shopping Center space now occupied by Crush Italian Cuisine & Wine Lounge. Endearingly known to locals as PCG, the upscale casual eatery has been closed since last May, and Goldberg said he has made the most of the down time. For example, he transferred PCG Executive Chef Israel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Izzyâ&#x20AC;? Balderas to his other restaurant, Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wild Note Cafe, to totally revamp the menu. He also placed many of PCGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime employees in positions at The Wild Note or adjacent music venue The Belly Up in order to sustain their employment. He said he placed PCG staff members,

many of whom have been with the restaurant for more than a decade, in positions from security to construction during the transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created a family environment with the people who work there,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that his staff is well-known in the Solana Beach community and a major part of what keeps loyal regulars coming back. Having lived in the area for more than a decade, Goldberg said he really understands what the community wants, and as well as bringing back the PCG food his regulars have been waiting for, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adding some elements he sees as fitting to the community. In addition to favorite dishes such as lobster tacos, shrimp dumplings and banana leaf mahi mahi, he will be adding a â&#x20AC;&#x153;raw bar,â&#x20AC;? serving items like sushi and oysters. He is also getting an entertainment license, which will allow him to have live music at the venue. He said there could be a possibility of bring acts from the Belly Up to Pacific Coast Grill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are taking the restaurant a step further, and we have this bigger, better way to showcase it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

By â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigger and better,â&#x20AC;? Goldberg is referring, in part, to the venue itself, which offers unobstructed views from the deck, outside patio, private upstairs dining room and all throughout the restaurant. PCG will also be able to serve a greater capacity, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, every seat is the best seat in the house,â&#x20AC;? Goldberg said. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten an overwhelming amount of positive feedback from the community about the move, and people are anxious to enjoy PCG food once again. He said much of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciation comes from the quality-centric practices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that have more recently become â&#x20AC;&#x153;trendy,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that PCG has embraced since its beginnings. For example, PCG chefs have been grinding their own pork, preparing their own ketchup, cutting their own french fries and making their own sweet and sour margarita mix for years. The restaurant has also prioritized sustainable practices and bought free-range products long before those concepts became widely accepted. He said the goal behind

PCG manager Jeff Carl, who has been helping with construction of the restaurant, watches the sunset with Brittney Lust atop the unfinished PCG deck. Below: A sign in front of the unfinished Pacific Coast Grill reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;opening someday.â&#x20AC;? PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN

the food is to maintain quality but keep it simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be straightforward,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the descriptions of food to the way we serve it.â&#x20AC;? Goldberg is local â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he lives in Rancho Santa Fe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his heart and soul are in North County, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a master restaurateur and partner in high-end sushi joints in both Vail and Aspen. The Colorado restaurants serve the award-winning cuisine of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Of his achievements,

Goldberg said the restaurant business is easy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, if you are passionate about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of passion and pride in what we do,â&#x20AC;? he said of himself, his staff and his longtime business partner, Phil Berkovitz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combination of very good food and professional, but not stiff, service that makes us succeed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the elements coming together, including reason-

able prices, to comprise a really good restaurant. And the staff makes you feel like you belong.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit: www.pacificcoastgrill.com

San Diego Opera presents a whale-scale production BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “Moby-Dick,” Herman Melville’s great American novel, was something of a flop when first published in 1851. The author’s lifetime earnings from the American edition came to less than $600. But lately the great white whale has been making a comeback. “MobyDick” is currently available in hardcover, paperback, audio- and e-book editions, and a new TV-version of the movie (now on DVD, with William Hurt as Ahab) was released in 2009, the same year as “Ahab’s Wife,” a bestselling novel spun off a single paragraph in the original book. Another bestseller “Why read Moby-Dick?” appeared a few months ago. There’s even a Moby-Dick video game. And the greatest of all these whale sightings is coming soon, thanks to San Diego Opera. On Saturday, the acclaimed whale-scale production of “Moby-Dick” that premiered in Dallas in 2010 will have its West Coast premiere, complete with Canadian tenor Ben Heppner, who created the role of Captain Ahab in Dallas, and director Leonard Foglia, recreating the original production. Co-commissioned by five opera companies—Dallas, San Diego, San Francisco, Calgary and the State Opera of South Australia —“Moby-Dick” has been called “achingly beautiful, magnificently sung and gorgeously staged.” The Look: Robert Brill, who created the scenic design, has designed several sets for La Jolla Playhouse — most recently, “Jesus Christ Superstar” — often working with director Des McAnuff. He did the sets for McAnuff’s 2007 production of “Wozzeck” at San Diego Opera, as well as operas, plays and ballets around the country. Projection designer Elaine J. McCarthy, whose credits include “Wicked” and “Spamalot” on Broadway, also worked with composer Jake Heggie on “Dead Man Walking.” The Music: Jake Heggie wrote his first opera, “Dead Man Walking,” in 2000, when he was composer-inresidence at San Francisco Opera. Praised for his “surging melodies,” he composed six other operas before “Moby-Dick,” whose score, along with Gene Scheer’s libretto, was hailed as “powerful and

award for his performance as Ahab. The Staging: Leonard Foglia, who directed “Dead Man Walking” and three other operas by Heggie, created the original production of “Moby-Dick.” His many Broadway credits include “On Golden Pond” and “Master Class,” the Terrance McNally play about Maria Callas. (McNally was the librettist on “Dead Man Walking.”) He also created the original New York production of Anna Deveare Smith’s one-woman show, “Let Me Down Easy,” seen here last year at San Diego REP. And in his spare time, he writes mystery novels, too! Foglia started out as the dramaturg on “MobyDick” three years before the premiere, working with Gene Scheer to establish the arc and characters of the piece.

“Jake says he can’t write unless the words inspire him, and Gene’s libretto is spectacular,” Foglia said. “I knew it needed a cinematic approach, but it wasn’t until I heard the score that I had any sense of what the opera should feel like or look like. The biggest challenge was the whale hunt, which set the style for the whole production. It took about a year before we settled on the design.” Foglia noted that this is only the opera’s second showing in the U.S. “So it still feels new, and many opera companies will be coming here to see it,” he said. “I’m so happy and proud to be here, in a city that’s so open.”

CAUGHT ON CAMERA Community Contest

BY DIANA SAENGER “Visiting Mister Green,” the story of how an accident brings an elderly retiree and a young man together to change their lives, has been translated into 22 languages, played world wide and won many national and international awards, including Drama League (NYC), Best Play nominee. Christopher M. Williams directs the show through March 11 at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. Williams has a history at the NCRT as an actor and co-director of several productions, including “Glorious!” and “My Name is Asher Lev.” His other credits include: Arizona Theatre Company, Phoenix Theatre, Actor’s Theatre, AZ Jewish Theatre, Southwest Shakespeare Company, New Village Arts. He is the Artistic Director of the newly formed Oceanside Theatre Company. When NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein asked Williams to direct “Visiting Mister Green,” he agreed, though he never heard of the play. “I did some research on it and fell in love with the story,” Williams said. “It’s simple, but has so many levels. For the characters it’s about discovery of self and how to survive.” Ross Gardiner meets Mr. Green when he almost runs over the man and is charged with reckless driving. Gardiner receives a sentence to do community service, which includes regular visits to Mr. Green. Neither man is happy about this as the encounters open old wounds and force them to face realities. “The play is very funny because of the characters miscommunication, but for

PHOTO: Aaron Rumley some – as it was for me – it will be very cathartic,” Williams said. “It’s about finding your purpose and who you are and how to help others and accept help. It takes humility to allow others to help you.” Williams found his leads in very capable hands. He worked with Robert Grossman (“Old Wicked Songs”) on several shows at NCRT and in Arizona. “Robert is an amazingly gifted actor and human being,” Williams said. “The wealth of knowledge he has is so deep intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and psychologically. That makes him so present in the role of Mr. Green. He gives it everything it requires.” Craig De Lorenzo’s resume includes “My Name is Asher Lev,” “Amadeus,” “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and more. Williams worked with De Lorenzo in “Asher Lev.” “He’s an incredibly gifted young actor, and it’s wonderful to watch him work,” Williams said. “He’s full of a brightness, energy and vitality that allow him to approach his character from an amazingly introspective

place. Both of these two actors are really from different places – much like their characters. They work so well together and have great instincts. That makes the director’s job much easier when the actors come in with all these gifts.”

In addition, she noted that Audrey and Zara have improved their abilities in how to interact with other kids, teens and adults when they can’t see them, and how to share more about themselves on air. “They’re embracing the opportunity,” Cloward said. The show begins with an introduction, followed by two special segments — “Healthy Habits with Zara,” which discusses topics such as exercise and nutrition; and “Real Reviews with Audrey,” which features opinions of age-appropriate media. Next comes the interview. The girls help devise questions on a variety of topics, including living your dream, finding your passion, persevering, tools to help in school, and fitting in. “We shine light on people who have inspiring messages to share with kids and parents,” said Cloward, who also has her own VoiceAmerica show titled “The Ripple Effect.” Audrey’s and Zara’s interview subjects have included teen singer and songwriter Hayley Reardon, and actor Garrett Ryan of “Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer.” was 1/7/2012.

Cloward said the interaction with Ryan, in particular, was “hilarious.” “They’re 10, he’s 12,” and the girls were giggling a lot, she said. Following the interview is “Magical Minutes,” consisting of 20 rapid-fire, “which would you choose” types of questions. The final two segments of the show are “Around the World with Zara,” with fun facts about different places around the globe, and “Special Stones with Audrey,” which includes decoding the meanings of stones and crystals. “The thing I enjoy the most is being able to share my thoughts and experiences with ‘Magical Hour’ listeners every week,” Zara said. “Being on the show is so much fun, especially when I have more time to spend with my best friend. I am grateful to Kathryn Cloward for giving me this opportunity.” “I get to sit next to my best friend, interview inspiring people, and have fun while spreading neat messages,” Audrey said. But there are some tough aspects about being a radio show co-host, as well. Zara said the hardest part for her is making time to research and write two segments every week on top of homework, Girl Scouts and karate. Audrey said she experiences the most difficulty with finding time to

get her work done for the show’s segments, practicing, and finishing her school homework. In tune with others Besides the radio show, Audrey and Zara have another project in the works. The two will be heard singing backup vocals on the first Kathryn the Grape” music album, “Believe,” slated to debut April 1. The CD spun off from an idea of Cloward’s to record a Kathryn the Grape theme song that she had on her mind for about a year. She contacted an acquaintance, musician Astra Kelly, and explained that she had a project in mind. By the time the duo met up, they decided they wanted more than a theme song – they wanted to record an entire album of songs. Cloward asked six “everyday” kids – who had no formal voice lessons – to sing background vocals, including Audrey and Zara. The others were Audrey’s 8-year-old sister Ella, and local residents Nick Hatch and twins Connor and Kailee Fitzgerald. Once Cloward and Kelly recorded their vocals and guitar tracks, they sent them to the kids as MP3s. After a week of practicing with the files, the “KTG Kids” spent a couple of hours at Capricorn Studios

GRAPE continued from page B18 in downtown San Diego to add their parts. “They all said it was harder than they thought it would be,” Cloward said, noting that the kids were constantly on their feet. Cloward said she and Kelly spent a total of four months collaborating on “Believe,” consisting of seven “inspirational and fun” songs that sound like tunes kids currently hear on the radio. The duo will be debuting the tunes and releasing the album at Your Natural Baby Fair, set from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 1 at NTC Promenade-McMillin Events Center, 2875 Dewey Road, San Diego. They are also booking events around San Diego, from private appearances for birthday parties to family-friendly events. The album – and books — can be purchased through Kathryn the Grape’s Web site, www. kathrynthegrape.com, where they can be autographed and receive a personalized dedication. In addition, the CD can be bought from iTunes and CD Baby. To listen to the radio show, go to www.voiceamerica.com/show/2016/kathryn-the-grapes-magicalhour.

Davidson Communities now previewing San Diego new homes at Arista at The Crosby A preview sales center is now open daily at Davidson Communities’ Arista at The Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe, an enclave of 43 new home sites offering single- and two-story residences, each offering downstairs master suites. Construction is well underway on the first homes in Phase One, as well as three model homes slated to open in early March 2012. “Arista is the final piece of developable land at The Crosby,” said Petra Eigl, sales manager for Arista at the Crosby by Davidson Communities, a California homebuilder for more than 30 years. “With canyon and golf course views, this prime property is located on the first tee, just across the street from The Crosby Club.” Because The Crosby is a private gated community, appointments are necessary in order to gain access to Arista. Please call 858-356-2473 to arrange a visit any day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on Monday, when hours are 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Bassenian/Lagoni Architects has created three floor plans ranging from 2,926 to 3,585 square feet with up to five bedrooms and five baths. Popular first floor master suites are available in every plan.

“These floor plans were designed to adapt to the lifestyle of individual buyers,” said Eigl. “With a downstairs master living suite in every plan, we can also offer multiple master suites upstairs. These plans can accommodate an elderly parent or a returning child, or a separate office configuration. At Arista, it’s all about flexibility and lifestyle.” Design Line Interiors of Del Mar is handling interior merchandising. The Crosby is a gated community located just east of the Village of Rancho Santa Fe and is comprised of 70 villas, 281 custom-quality homes and 70 estate home sites surrounded by an 18hole private golf course. The Crosby Club offers social and recreational opportunities for both golfers and non-golfers. In addition to this Ran-

cho Santa Fe new home neighborhood, Davidson is now selling unique luxury residences at Sentinels at Del Sur in San Diego and innovative family residences at Miraval at Torrey Highlands. Information on Davidson Communities is available online at www.davidsoncommunities.com.
