DM, SB to challenge fairgrounds master plan Cities entering ‘joint representative agreement’ BY MARLENA CHAVIRA-MEDFORD Staff Writer Del Mar and Solana Beach are collaborating to bring legal action challenging the Del Mar Fairgrounds
McClain lawsuit against school district moves forward BY MARSHA SUTTON STAFF WRITER The case of former Del Mar Union School District superintendent Sharon McClain, who was hired in September 2008 and released March 31, 2010, vs. the DMUSD is moving along, with a hearing heard May 6 and one coming up May 20. The hearing on May 20, filed by McClain’s attorney, Los Angeles-based Dale Gronemeier, is a summary adjudication to ask the court to rule on the issue of termination notice. “It seeks to determine that Dr. McClain was not given proper notice of the termination meeting on March 31, 2010,” Gronemeier said. “The basic fact is she was given notice of that meeting on March 29. The contract in our view requires that she be notified at least 30 days in advance.” Calling it a “no downside motion” other than the $750 filing fee, Gronemeier said, “If See LAWSUIT, page 6
master plan, which outlines a major redevelopment of the state-owned property. Del Mar City Attorney Leslie Devaney made the announcement during the May 9 Del Mar City Council meeting after emerging from a closed-door session, stating that the two cities will enter a “joint representation agreement” to move
forward with litigation against the master plan. Because the item was part of closed-door session agenda, the council did not publicly discuss the topic. Last month the 22nd District Agricultural Association (22nd DAA) board, which governs the stateowned property, certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)
for the 2008 Master Plan, which includes replacing the 50-year-old exhibit halls, widening the turf track, and adding a health club, a parking facility and an electronic reader board sign. The FEIR spurred strong outcry from Solana Beach, Del Mar and other area residents, as well as elected officials who claimed it failed to
adequately analyze impacts from traffic, noise, lighting and pollution. After certifying its FEIR, the 22nd DAA filed with the county clerk’s office. That began a 30-day period during which the FEIR could be challenged through legal action, which it now appears Del Mar and Solana Beach are teaming up to do.

BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer Del Mar and Solana Beach may be added to a Senate bill that could potentially give the cities more control over the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The bill, Senate Bill 249 (SB 249), was introduced by Senator Leleand Yee, D-San Francisco, with the intention of providing more local control over Cow Palace, a state-owned agricultural facility that is home to the
Grand National Rodeo and many other events throughout the year. Recently there have been drug-related deaths, injuries and arrests during concerts at Cow Palace, prompting concern from residents in neighboring Daley City and San Francisco. Cow Place is run by the 1-A District Agricultural Association (1-A DAA) board, which includes nine members who are all appointed See BILL, page 6
DM Schools Education Foundation calls fundraising effort a success BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer In its final fundraising push, the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation was able to raise $200,000 in the month of April alone, bringing its total raised to nearly $1.3 million for the Del Mar
Union School District. With those monies, the foundation will be able to fund 13 full -time Extended Studies Curriculum (ESC) teachers for the next school year, 20112012, in the subjects of science, technology, art, music and PE, according to Drew Isaacman, foun-
dation president. Those funded 13 teachers match what the foundation was able to provide in the current school year. “The community really pulled together, it’s incredible,” said Isaacman. “We can’t say
enough about the involvement of the community as a whole, raising this much money every year. It’s an amazing accomplishment and we look forward to maintaining this level of education for our chilSee SCHOOLS, page 6

Research Report : Temperature shifts prime immune response
Top cookie sellers honored Girl Scouts of San Diego - Imperial Council congratulates Carmel Valley Girl Scout Troop 1520 as a top seller of Operation Thin Mint cookies. The troop was honored at a VIP reception aboard the USS Midway on May 7 at the 10-year anniversary celebration of Operation Thin Mint. The girls voted to use their troop profits to purchase additional boxes of OTM cookies and sold over 1,000 OTM boxes. Girl Scouts of San Diego-Imperial Council have sent over 2.5 million boxes of cookies and notes of appreciation to military serving overseas. Returning military were at the event to describe how receiving the cookies and notes brings so much meaning to them, “A taste of home and note to show we care.” Troop members include (in photo above) Caroline Sanborn, Alexandra Wahr, Julia Little, Erica Jansen, Kyra Knox, Gaby Harrison and Emily Wang (not pictured). In addition, Caroline Sanborn (in photo above right) was recognized for her sixth year in a row as a Top Seller of Girl Scout Cookies. This year she sold 2,463 boxes of cookies for a grand total of 14,985 boxes and was rewarded with a helicopter ride that took off from the deck of the USS Midway. The troop would like to thank the community for its support and enthusiasm for this program. The cookie program is a major fundraiser for local troops and the local council, as well as a multi-faceted program to learn business, marketing and service skills for the girls. For information on Girl Scouts, please visit www.girlscoutssdi.org.
BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN CONTRIBUTOR Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have found a temperature-sensing protein within immune cells that, when tripped, allows calcium to pour in and activate an immune response. This process can occur as temperature rises, such as during a fever, or when it falls — such as when immune cells are “called” from the body’s warm interior to a site of injury on cooler skin. The study is the first to find such a sensor in immune cells. The protein, thought to be important in immune function, has now been revealed as a temperature sensor. Findings appear in Nature Chemical Biology. News release at http://bit.ly/jMpguD. Biofuels research gets a boost The California Energy Commission has awarded $2 million to UCSD for research on the use of a variety of new kinds of biofuels to supplement or replace petroleum-based transportation fuels. UCSD is one of the nation’s leaders in developing technologies to turn algae into biofuels. The award is just the latest in a string of multi-million awards secured by the university for algal biofuels research. To accelerate the pace of biofuels development researchers will — for the first time — apply some of the automated genetic screening techniques used by the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry for drug development to finding strains of algae and other plants with traits that can eventually make economically-competitive biofuels More information at http://bit.ly/lTfwnE.

BILL continued from page 1 by the governor — the same as the Del Mar fairgrounds, which is run by the 22nd DAA board. However, SB 249 would allow the mayors of Daly City and San Francisco to each appoint two members to the Cow Palace board, thereby giving these communities more local control. Del Mar City Councilman Carl Hilliard would like to see Del Mar and Solana Beach have the same amount of power when it comes to the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Therefore, he, with approval from Del Mar City Council, plans to approach the authors of SB 249 and ask that Del Mar and Solana Beach be added. During the May 9 city council meeting, Hilliard said adding Del Mar and Solana Beach to SB 249 made sense because the two scenarios surrounding Cow Palace and the Del Mar Fairgrounds are so similar. “In a statement about the bill Senator Yee said: ‘the lack of representation on the Cow Palace board has resulted in decisions, especially regarding issues of public safety, that do not reflect the wishes and needs of the community.’ Sound familiar?” A potential roadblock for SB 249 is the fact that the governor may not be
keen on giving up any appointments to these state boards. Because of that, Hilliard said he has helped to draft an alternative option, which is to amend the law so that it clearly spells out the jurisdiction Del Mar has when it comes to regulating activities on the fairgrounds that are “outside of the [District Agricultural Association’s] core mission, and are competitive with private enterprise in the commercial market.” SB 249 and the proposed alternative amendment are both in addition to Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), which would authorize Del Mar to buy the fairgrounds from the state. SB 1 was introduced in December, but it has now become a two-year bill, meaning it’s on hold until at least next year. SB1, like many bills, has been delayed because the senate and assembly are dealing with the state’s budget crisis. “This is kind of our Plan B,” Del Mar City Councilman Mark Filanc said of the SB 249 and the proposed alternative amendment. “If this gives us at least some jurisdiction over the other events that are not keeping within the [DAA’s] original mission, that certainly goes a long way to helping us. “It doesn’t do everything we want, but it does quite a bit of what we want.”
LAWSUIT continued from page 1 you lose, it doesn’t mean anything except that there may be factual disputes and you have to go to trial on it.” If the judge rules in McClain’s favor, he said it means that “it is determined that they didn’t give the proper notice.” But Ryan Church, an attorney with the law firm of Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, disagreed. “In her motion, she’s saying that the district had a contractual obligation to give notice, and they did not give notice,” said Church, who is working with the school district’s legal counsel Daniel Shinoff on the case. “The court cannot rule on whether or not the district did or did not give the proper notice because that’s a jury decision.” The school district’s attorneys are opposing the motion and are making a distinction on what the judge can and cannot decide. Church said the court can only decide whether or not that obligation exists, and cannot determine whether or not the district breached any contractual obligation. “Our position is that the plaintiff is asking the court to do something they cannot do. That’s an issue for the jury to decide,” Church said. “Our position is the court can only determine whether or not a duty exists.” A hearing held May 6 ruled on a motion for judgment filed by the district’s attorneys that attacked four different causes
of action. “The judge agreed with us on one of them, and the other three will remain intact,” Church said. Both attorneys said many of these motions are minor. “Pleading disputes aren’t very interesting,” Gronemeier said. A motion with larger implications will be heard by the court July 8, which was filed after Gronemeier subpoenaed former DMUSD school board member Steven McDowell for a deposition. “We filed a motion to quash that subpoena,” said Church, explaining that the deliberative process privilege prevents public board members from being deposed and bars judicial inquiry into the motives of public officials. “You’re not supposed to be able to take board members’ depositions,” he said. “That’s been a law for quite some time. The voters can question their decisions, but the court shouldn’t be able to go in there and question their decisions.” “They filed a motion to quash the subpoena on the grounds that you cannot require the testimony of any board member,” Gronemeier said. “But the only people who know anything about this case on the district’s side are board members.” Gronemeier said the district’s attorneys don’t want McDowell to testify, and he expects they’ll take that same position with the other board members. “What they’re saying is [that] we cannot take any discovery because the only people that know anything about all the disputed events in the lawsuit are

board members,” Gronemeier said. “They have blocked, temporarily at least, our ability to get any information essentially, and we’re heading to court resolution on that.” “When you represent public entities, you will occasionally run into a situation where someone will try to depose a board member, and this is a common motion you file to prevent that from happening,” Church said. When asked why McDowell was subpoenaed to testify, of the five board members, Gronemeier said, “It was a tactical decision that he was the best place to start.” Gronemeier said he also had four motions to compel discovery that haven’t been filed yet, for July 15. More motions and hearings are expected by both sides, in preparation for the full trial which has been set for Nov. 4.

Website helps students save on books TPHS Advanced Math BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer On average, an American college student spends about $900 a year on college textbooks. SwoopThat.com, a website started by two local men, hopes to save people about 50 percent on textbooks and make the process a whole lot easier and less time-consuming. The site offers price comparisons on textbooks for 145 schools across the nation, saving customers the hassle of a lengthy online quest. SwoopThat has all the 145 schools’ courses and course book requirements loaded up. Once users log in their courses, the site then “swoops� the best prices from every major online book retailer. “We’re exceeding my expectations,� said Johnny Simkin, CEO. “I wasn’t expecting to support the number of schools we have.� “I wish we had [this option] when we were in college,� added Benjamin Carson, COO. Simkin, 23, and Carson, 26, have been friends since “before they can remember,� growing up together on the border of Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe. Simkin met partners Kevin King, CTO (Chief Technology Officer), and Sam Hollaran, computer engineer, while attending Harvey Mudd College—Carson went to Claremont Colleges’ Pomona College and in 2010 graduated from University of San Diego School of Law. The SwoopThat site

doesn’t sell books, it simply offers price transparency, Simpkin said. They are the only website to offer an “internal cart,� meaning you load books onto your cart on SwoopThat and they are waiting to be purchased in a cart on the bookseller’s site. SwoopThat can also find rentable books, e-books and free digital textbooks when they are available. “(Customers) love it,� said Simkin. “It basically reduces a 30-minute task to five to 10 minutes and you’re guaranteed to get the best deal.� The group hopes to soon expand its offerings to private high schools such as Simkin’s alma mater San Diego Jewish Academy. The friends created a site just for Harvey Mudd courses offering textbook price com-

parisons. Within four days, 30 percent of the student body was using their site. Seeing how successful it was, they decided to try and bring the service to a much larger audience. SwoopThat gets a percentage of each book sale and can also work with schools to get money from textbooks sales to go back to the college in some way. For example, at Harvey Mudd, students saved $66,000 on books while more than $1,000 was raised for their student body association. Their company goal is to hit 1,000 schools on their site and for Swoop to become a verb in popular vernacular— just as people “Google it,� Simkin hopes students will “Just SwoopThat.� Finding the course textbook lists for various colleges
is fairly easy, Carson said, since the Higher Education Opportunity Act was enacted in 2008, requiring schools to make their textbook lists public. “The challenging part is taking different data formats and getting it together in a readable format,� Carson said. That part is King’s job, working hard into the early morning hours. “I’m usually going to sleep when my friends are waking up,� he admits. The other partners are logging 12-hour days, as well, in an office in Simkin’s home, also giving up their weekends to grow their business. “That’s what start-ups are all about,� Carson said.

Grounding in ‘real world’ experiences of the poor provided insights for ‘superstar’ economist BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor In the field of international economics, UC San Diego professor Gordon Hanson, son of medical missionary parents, is regarded as a superstar — and one of the most productive and highly cited economists in the United States. Interestingly and significantly, when he was 21, after earning his undergraduate degree, he postponed going to graduate school until he had spent a year working among the poor in Peru and Honduras. “Before I went off to graduate school in economics, which is very mathematical and very abstract,” he said, “I wanted to have grounding in the real world experiences of people whose problems I wanted to study so I wouldn’t just get lost in the math.” Hanson was recently honored at UCSD with a Chancellor’s Associates Faculty Excellence Award for his work in international economics and cited “as one of his generation’s pioneers who have combined original ways of investigating problems empirically with astute innovations in theorizing.” Hanson, a local resident, is the director of UCSD’s Center on Emerging and Pacific Economies. He is considered an authority on international trade and migration, economic development and foreign in-
vestment, and applying economic analysis to understanding the social implications of timely issues. We interviewed the 46-year-old Hanson in his office on the La Jolla campus of UCSD. Casually dressed on his day-off in
jeans and a sport shirt, he is 5-foot-10, 165 pounds and keeps in shape surfing and paddle boarding. He is the youngest of three brothers. Both of his parents were physicians. He was born in Berkeley, Calif., while his parents were on medical furlough from 10 years of service as medical missionaries in northern Thailand. He accompanied his family back to Thailand for another six years before his parents returned to California in 1970 to enter private practice. “They needed to put the kids through college,” he said. Hanson attended Occidental College in Los Angeles where he earned his A.B. degree in economics, summa cum laude, in 1986. He applied for and was granted a Watson Fellowship. “It’s a wonderful fellowship given to graduates from liberal arts colleges that allows you to propose a project to learn unusual things about the world we live in…So I spent a year divided between Peru and Honduras working in urban shantytowns.” Later, while attending graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he spent another year in Mexico working on his dissertation. He completed his doctorate from MIT in 1992.

Local psychologist releases new parenting book BY DIANE Y. WELCH Staff Writer Dr. Keith Kanner, clinical psychologist and a contributor to this newspaper group, has just released a book titled “Your Family Matters” (through “Love Your Life Publishing”). Subtitled, “Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmas,” the book aims to direct parents to address the most common issues with their children, from infancy through age 18. “The book highlights what I aim to do in my practice, which is to help people better understand their children and to become better parents,” Kanner said. This is the first of what will probably be three volumes, with future releases planned to focus on broader family structures. The first book is written with chapters for moms and dads respectively. There is also a chapter on “Grandma’s House,” and the different influences that a grandparent may have on the family. Kanner is a licensed clinical child, adolescent, and adult psychologist and psychoanalyst, with more than 20 years in his field. In addition to a fulltime private practice locally, he is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of California San Diego where he teaches human development and also trains medical students how to better understand and relate to their patients. He also serves as the director of clinical counseling for La Jolla Coun-
Local clinical psychologist Dr. Keith Kanner just released a book, ‘Your Family Matters.’ try Day School in La Jolla, and is a clinical professor at The San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. His book represents a culmination of this experience. In its pages he tries to help parents understand what is going on with their child developmentally, as well as to understand the root causes of a child’s issues so that a solution may be found. “The book aims to bring everyone together in the process,” Kanner said. While very busy with his private practice, writing and media appearances, Kanner stresses that his family
comes first. Kanner has three children: Cassidy, soon to be 13; Christopher, 10; and Zachary, turning 8. As an involved dad he volunteers on the national board for KidsKorps USA and serves as a coach in his children’s respective sports. He is a big believer on parents not missing out on spending time with their kids. “These opportunities only come around once, so enjoy it while you can. It goes too fast,” he said. It was during down time in between his professional work and family responsibilities that Kanner was able to complete the manuscript for his new book. “Writing is something that I’ve done for a while. I always have my computer on, I’m always thinking and writing on my subject,” he said. “Your Family Matters” is written from his perspective as a clinician, a doctor and, most importantly, as a dad. “I believe that your kids are your best teachers. My kids are not afraid to tell me when I am completely in the wrong, so we work together to better understand things,” he said. Kanner has a syndicated radio show and has been on local television for a number of years with “Your Family Matters.” He is also working on a possible move into the national spotlight with a 9 to 10 o’clock morning show. He stars currently as one of the 15 LifeChangers for Extra TV in Hollywood. “I’m also currently doing documentaries for television and have one
reality show now in the hands of two big networks, a treatment show about kids,” Kanner explained. The pilot is called “Real Treatment,” and works with real families facing genuine issues. Kanner said that his book should help lower a parent’s anxiety, help them understand the complexity of their children, and learn how to constructively work with them. “It’s a good, practical hands-on book,” he said. For more information on Dr. Keith Kanner or to purchase his new book go to www.kanner.tv

Local native and wife pen book to bring about ‘Sea Change’ BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor Local native Duffy Healy nurtured his love for the ocean growing up surfing local breaks and met his match in wife Elizabeth, a Laguna Beach native who shares his desire to protect the ocean. The couple have come to realize that while they belong to a community of ocean conservationists, that simply isn’t good enough. The Healys are now raising awareness about the dire issues facing the world’s oceans in a new book, “Sea Voices, Working Toward a Sea Change.� “We have been on the board of Oceana for years, but the idea for the book occurred to us while attending a fundraiser called “Sea Change in Laguna Beach,� Elizabeth said. “These fundraisers are very exclusive and cost a lot of money to attend. And while they do raise money for ocean awareness, it is almost as if the speakers are preaching to the choir because everyone shares that interest already. Duffy and I wanted to round up athletes, authors, musicians and celebrities to generate even more attention.� The couple interviewed 138 people for “Sea Voices,� which is written in a question-and-answer format. The book boasts interviews with ocean experts like famous female oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Ear-

The interviews in “Sea Voices� aren’t limited to ocean experts, though. The Healys also sat down with musicians like Jack Johnson, San Diego native Jason Mraz, Gar-
ret Dutton (aka G Love), Yoko Ono, Stefan Lessard (of the Dave Matthews Band) and Ziggy Marley. Environmentally conscious actors like Daryl Hannah, Ted Danson, Q’orianka Kilcher, Isabel Lucas, Kate Walsh, Sam Waterson, Keely and Pierce Brosnan, and others were also eager to chat about why protecting the ocean is of such vital importance to all. The couple spent two years traveling the globe conducting the interviews and also chatting with 10-time world champion surfer
Kelly Slater; surfers and Patagonia ambassadors Chris, Dan and Keith Malloy; San Diego-bred surfer Chris Del Moro; skateboarding star Tony Hawk; Robert Kennedy, Jr.; author Amy Tan; filmmaker Louie Psihoyos (of the Academy Awardwinning documentary “The Cove�); royalty from Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, and still others. Out of the group, which spans more than 25 countries and more than 25 different states, who did Duffy and Elizabeth enjoy interviewing most? “There were so many, but I would say Daryl Hannah, because of the simplicity of what she said,� Elizabeth said before quoting the actress/activist: “ ‘We spend billions to explore space, yet we still don’t know what mysteries the ocean holds.’� As for Duffy, he hit it off with actor and Oceana board member Ted Danson. “He speaks my language. His advice about overfishing was, ‘Become involved. Don’t be cynical. Be informed. No one has the luxury anymore to sit back and do nothing.’� The message of “Sea Voices� is that while the ocean seems infinite and indestructible, it is facing numerous challenges. Those lucky enough to live near the ocean interact with it daily, and often take its presence for granted. “Sea Voices� exposes threats

The book also delivers staggering statistics (according to Dr. Sylvia Earle, for example, 90 percent of the major species of the ocean have been removed in the last 50 years!), but isn’t all doom and gloom. Marine Protected Areas are being assigned around the world and are showing positive results. “Our main message is that we can all do our part to protect the ocean,� said Duffy. “We’re big on activism through the Internet. It is so easy to join a few oceanic charities online. You can vote on measures with a simple click of your mouse.� “Sea Voices.

If you are selling a home or estate in Del Mar, read this... Prime Real Estate in Del Mar is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?
Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Del Mar real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.delmartimes.net searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 99 countries in March, 2011, and generated 18,519 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily foreign visitors come from the United Kingdom, Canada, India,
To reach foreign investors, be sure your agent has a well-developed marketing plan To sell your home or estate quickly and for the most money possible, a thorough marketing plan is a must. So make sure your agent’s plan includes: Q Proper “staging” of your homeand property. Q Showcasing your home or listing in the local paper—like The Times. Q Holding open houses, including
“broker previews”. Q Adding your home to the local multiple listing service so buyers and agents will see it. Q Preparing and sending brochures or well designed flyers to potential buyers. Q Using Internet advertising such as www.delmartimes.net, which attracts tens of thousands of readers monthly from 99 countries worldwide. With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
W
How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market
Australia, the Philippines, and China. Yes, the countries with the largest numbers of foreign investors, looking for Del Mar real estate. And those investors also work with local agents intimately familiar with the Del Mar market. And those agents are not only looking online, they’re reading the The Times because it has far more local Del Mar listings than any other paper in town. So to maximize your home or estate’s exposure, it’s important your agent is using a dual track: 1) showcasing your home or estate with ads on www.delmartimes.net and, 2) running ads and listings in the The Times.
W
What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Del Mar can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. Del Mar real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Del Mar real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.
1. The site daily attracts its most unique foreign visitors from:
1. The paper is hand delivered by the US Post Office to 7,460 Del Mar homes each week.

Solana Highlands students present quilts to Becky’s House BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer For the 11th year in a row, Solana Highlands Elementary School children made quilts for Becky’s House, a YWCA house for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. At a school-wide assembly on Friday, May 6, their 27 colorful and creative quilts hung on the ledges above the outdoor courtyard. Students created the artwork for the quilts, which ranged in themes from beaches to bumblebees. Parents then volunteered to stitch their patches of artwork together to create the beautiful blankets. This year, a fourth grade sewer completed her class quilt — Hannah Clark in Felicity Smith’s class. Clark said she received help from her dad. One class even made a pillowcase. PTA representative Susan Stein said that the artwork done by the children is the heart of the project. “It’s really been fun for me to look at every piece of art. When these get to Becky’s House those kids are going to get to enjoy all the artwork you’ve put into these quilts,� Stein told the children. Caity Meader, manager at Becky’s House, thanked the school for its contribution. “We use these quilts on beds to make the kids feel welcome and warm,� Meader said. “Then they can take the quilt with them when they move into their own home.� In addition to the gift of 27 quilts, third grader Nick Fornaciara’s grandmother Barbara Lounsbury hand crocheted 20 stuffed animals for Becky’s House.
Highlands’ Hannah Clark, center, shows off the quilt she stitched together from her fourth-grade classmates’ artwork.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
La Femme Chic Consignment Boutique offers top designer inventory BY MARLENA CHAVIRA-MEDFORD STAFF WRITER If you think high-end fashion always means paying top dollar, think again. La Femme Chic Consignment Boutique is proof that you can score plenty of luxury labels without breaking the bank. The recently opened consignment boutique in Solana Beach is brimming with handbags, shoes, and apparel — all of it by top designers such as Louis Vuitton, Tory Burch, Armani and Valentino, at a fraction of what you’d pay at a typical retail store. All of the inventory here is handpicked by boutique owner Janet Sinclair, who cut her teeth in the fashion world as a booking agent for a top modeling agency in New York City during the late ‘70s. “Being in the fashion scene, we’d frequent places like Studio 54; and though I wasn’t making much, I still had to look the part,” she recalled. That led her straight to New York City’s high-end consignment boutiques, where she quickly learned that her behind-the-scenes experience in the fashion world gave her an exceptionally keen eye for good finds. After three decades in the fashion and beauty industry, Sinclair has honed that skill to an art. “I love fashion, and a good deal. La Femme Chic is a way for me to combine those loves. It’s also a way for me to help women find that special piece that’s going to make them feel beautiful, whatever their price point and whatever their style. I strive to carry a variety because I want there to be something for everyone here.” Because of that, the inventory ranges from $10 to $10,000 and appeals to everyone from that college student

sories and jewelry, including handmade pieces by Solana Beach resident Cecilia Delvaux, who incorporates vintage and antique elements
&MARTI GELLENS
into her creations. And with horse racing season on the nottoo-distant horizon, Sinclair is already beefing up her hat inventory and accepting consignments. “One of the best parts of being in the consignment business is seeing someone bring in something that they no longer have a use for, and watching their face light up when they learn someone else is now enjoying it.” Consignment is a form of recycling, Sinclair added, not to mention it’s a great way to turn your closet into cash because sellers get 40 percent of the sale. Anyone interested in consigning can drop into the boutique, where they’ll also likely get a chance to meet Sinclair’s greyhound Sedona. The Greyhound Adoption Center rescued Sedona from a racetrack in Tijuana, saving her from a tough existence. These days, Sedona spends most of her days at the boutique, where she is fast becoming a favorite among customers. Sedona is so much a part of the store, in fact, that she is featured in the store’s logo on the sign out front. Sedona has inspired Sinclair to also become an advocate for rescue efforts dedicated to the breed, and therefore her grand opening celebration on Thursday, May 19, will benefit the Greyhound Adoption Center. The event, which will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., will feature complimentary appetizers and wine, as well as drawings for some great prizes, including a new Louis Vuitton handbag, There will also be photographer onsite offering complimentary headshots, and a makeup artist and hair stylist to help get you primped. RSVP is required for this event by visiting lafemmechicconsignment.com. La Femme Chic Consignment Boutique is located at 415 S. Cedros. For more information, please call 858-345-1480 or email janet@lafemmechicconsignment.com.

ECONOMIST continued from page 8 Before joining UCSD 10 years ago, he taught at the University of Texas and the University of Michigan. “People like to make fun of economists,” he said, when asked about his profession, “partly because they’ve been around for a long time.” While economists are still asking similar questions to those posed by the Scottish social philosopher and economist Adam Smith 250 years ago, Hanson said, what has changed is that economics as a discipline has matured and has tried to strike a balance between being formal, scientific and mathematical, which is needed for credibility among scholars, and trying to address real world problems.” This “trying-to-addressreal-world-problems” approach is making economics the most popular or second most popular major at most universities, he said. “And it has made economists influential in policy circles, sometimes for good, sometimes not; but you see economists playing an important role in almost every major economic policy decision that this country has made in the last three or four decades.” The teaching mission of
UCSD’s Center on Emerging and Pacific Economies, Hanson said, is to train master students in international economics with an emphasis on the Pacific region, Asia and Latin America. “Our vision is that the 20th century was the Atlantic century in which the U.S./Atlantic countries really defined global affairs. The 21st century is the Pacific century… So we want to be at the forefront of understanding how the economies and political systems of the Pacific interact.” In his capacity as a researcher, Hanson, at any one time, usually has 10 different projects in the works, evenly divided between migration and international trade. “With international migration of skilled labor,” Hanson said, “what we’re trying to understand is why highly skilled people move between countries. What are their motivations? And why does the U.S. continue to be such an incredible draw despite all the obstacles we put in the way of people who want to come here?” He also wants to ascertain how the movement of those folks affects the process of immigration and economic development both in the U.S. and in the countries where these folks come from.” In the study, Hanson is
focusing in particular on people who come here to obtain their Ph.D.s As a basis for the study, Hanson and his team are tracking everyone who received a Ph.D. in the U.S. since 1958. As it’s shaping up, there is considerable evidence that immigration of those who obtain their Ph.D.s here is highly beneficial to the U.S. He is of the opinion that those who earn their Ph.D.s here and get a job offer from a U.S. company should be allowed to stay. “They’ve succeeded in requirements of any reasonable apprenticeship and there is a lot of evidence to show that the arrival of those folks would bring strong benefits to the U.S. economy.” Currently, any Ph.D. graduate who is not a U.S. citizen is required to go through a time-consuming, expensive, often discouraging, process of dealing with immigration officials and lawyers to obtain a visa and eventually a green card. He urges streamlining of the bureaucratic process to encourage the highly skilled to stay rather than putting obstacles in their way. “Think of the immigration process as a talent search,” he advises. Hanson considers economics part of the social sciences.
“We’re certainly not part of the hard sciences because there are not immutable rules of human behavior as there are immutable rules of physics and chemistry.” Economics, as he sees it, is somewhat of a cross between the social sciences and an art. “We develop models of how individuals and firms behave and how countries operate. Any model is wrong. It’s a simplification of reality that cuts corners and misses important features that make our lives special and enriching. What you hope is that the models are wrong in relatively unimportant ways and they can still give us insight to help make choices about: Is a free trade agreement between the U.S. and Korea a good idea? And what should we do about illegal immigration in the country?” Over the past several years, Hanson has addressed the politically-charged question of illegal immigration. “One of the points I try to emphasize is that, surprising as it may seem, there are some attractive things about how illegal immigration has worked in the U.S.,” he said. “It attracts people who have had to work hard to get here,” he said. Bottom line, although illegal, these determined immigrants comprise a motivated, flexible, mobile workforce that comes when and where there is a demand for their skills. “And we’ve done that in this bizarre way by saying we’re really going to make it hard for you to come here, but once you’re here, and you work and you’re a productive member of society, we’ll more or less leave you alone. That’s OK, but it could be a lot better.” He advocates granting visas to those immigrants who are making positive contributions to the U.S. “Again, it’s a talent search,” he said. “Now that we have a population of 11 million illegal immigrants, that’s significant enough to say, ‘OK, it’s not good for the U.S. in the
long run to have so many people in effect living underground. And it’s not good for them [illegals] either.” In his research, he has measured the effects of a wide range of influences on people’s welfare including the divide between church and state in the economic realm and how the spread of U.S. churches is affecting the provision of social services in various countries. U.S. churches, seeking to expand their membership, in addition to offering doctrines, are providing material aid to people in countries ravaged by wars, natural disasters and poverty. “Churches,” his research showed, “thrive in an environment where governments have abdicated their role of taking care of people when they are down.” “None of that is to pass judgment on whether religion is a good or bad thing, but to understand how the church and the state interact.” As for Mexico, in a recent publication, he posed the question: “Why isn’t Mexico rich?” Part of the reason is Mexico has accepted and followed the U.S.’s advice. “It has privatized its industries, it has deregulated its markets, it opened itself to international trade and investments,” he said. “And yet what has happened is Mexico’s growth performance has lagged behind, not just much of Asia, but behind much of Latin America.” While Mexico privatized state-owned companies, it did not protect itself against the formation of monopolies “that dominate the country to an amazing extent,” Hanson said. A prime example, he said, is the telecommunications monopoly Telmex, “notorious for high prices, not great service, among the highest broadband connection fees in the world, very high prices for cell phone use and spotty land line coverage” and owned by Carlos Slim, reputedly the world’s
richest person. “Here we are in the midst of a worldwide information technology revolution and Mexico is disadvantaged by a company that is fattening its profits and limiting the pace of technological change in the country.” Also, Hanson says, Mexico’s financial system is archaic and impedes the flow of investment to entrepreneurs; and is a country has the “bad luck” of producing manufactured goods that China also produces for the U.S. market instead of producing goods that China needs. And, Mexico has to deal with the violence associated with the drug trade. But Mexico has a rich cultural heritage, Hanson points out, which could lead to artistic and entrepreneurial innovations, such as Italy’s development as a design center. As for China, Hanson predicts it won’t surpass the U.S. in international purchasing power for some time yet. The challenge facing China is whether it can continue to develop without an economic and/or a political crisis which is a historical norm for rapidly growing countries. “China hasn’t experienced its bumps yet, and the big question is, given the repressiveness of its political system, how will it manage when the inevitable economic downturn comes?” But, he added, China’s ability and capacity to adapt is astounding and augers well for its future. And as for the U.S. and its future, he concedes we have lived beyond our means and have to make “adjustments,” — “but it’s not an impossible task.” “The reason for continued optimism is that the U.S. remains the most productive economy in the world. It remains the leading source of innovation...and we haven’t lost that capacity. But there is medium-run pain and there is also coming to terms with the fact that we aren’t going to be the biggest kid on the block anymore.”

Letters/Opinion: Let’s move forward, not backward, with school lunch BY LEE YEN ANDERSON AND YANA MOHANTY Why does a top-ranked district such as DMUSD continue to serve unhealthy and over-processed food for lunch? Why are frozen, reheated corn dogs with added nitrites and

are increasingly choosing private vendors for providing tastier and healthier school lunches. There are currently at least twenty (20) public school districts in the state of California who have chosen vendors such as Revolution Foods, Choicelunch, Kid Chow, and smaller local establishments to serve lunch to their students. More than half of these districts are on the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), like DMUSD. The NSLP is a government program that reimburses a school district $2.72 for each meal of a student who qualifies for a free lunch, but carries a significant administrative
overhead. However, this overhead has not been an obstacle to hiring private lunch vendors for eleven (11) districts in the state. Thus, even school districts such as Roseland in Sonoma County, with 77% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, are now serving lunches made of quality ingredients including only meats that are free of added hormones and antibiotics. Although there has been an impression in the community that a new lunch program is out of DMUSD’s reach at this time for financial reasons, the actual facts do not supporta this. At the last Board
Meeting, Superintendent Peabody stated that the bids from private vendors for serving lunch at DMUSD “came in at a price that we can work with”. Any fears of money being diverted from the General Fund to the Lunch Program are entirely baseless. That’s because the Cafeteria Fund is legally mandated to be self supporting, so that funds cannot, and will not, be taken from the General Fund. In fact, it is the current lunch program, with its low enrollment numbers, that may not remain self supporting. We recognize that change is challenging and requires a great deal of ex-
tra effort. But isn’t this what we are teaching our children—to take on challenges in order to make progress? Isn’t it the willingness to take on challenges that defines our district and makes it so prestigious? As Michelle Obama said so aptly, “Let’s Move”; in the right direction, not the easy one.

DMUSD should stop using taxpayer-funded resources for politics Del Mar Union School District is provided funds by taxpayers to teach our children, but they are breaking the law by expending those resources in an attempt to influence the political process. Last week a database of emergency telephone numbers provided by parents were used with the school district’s automated calling system to deliver a political message recorded by district superintendent James Peabody. This is not an isolated incident. School facilities, equipment, personnel and resources are being illegally used in a lobbying effort. Examples include: • School property being used to hold organizational meetings • Photocopying and re-

sources being used to produce biased literature • Computer servers used for electronic communications to organize lobbying efforts • Teacher time during the contracted work hours of 7:45-2:45 have been utilized • School databases have been used to generate mailing and calling lists Under California law, including Education Code 7054, school districts are strictly prohibited from engaging in political advocacy using public resources. No use may be made of school property, funds, personnel, supplies or equipment to influence politics. Violation of this provision can either be a misdemeanor or felony discovered that electrical oscillations in the brain, long thought to play a role in organizing cognitive functions such as memory, are critically important for the brain to store the information that allows us to navigate through our physical environment. Three types of neurons provide an internal GPS system to the brain. One type, called “grid cells,” has been shown to provide grid-like patterns for the brain to store memories of physical dimensions of the external environment. The current study showed that grid cells require precisely timed electrical oscillations in order to function properly. The work has implications for understanding the underlying causes of neurological diseases such as Al-
and is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. 7054(c). Of course citizens, including teachers and administrators, are free to communicate their desires to the government, but they must use their own resources. It is also permissible for people to distribute facts, but that is not happening. In this case, the union is using school district resources to embark on a propaganda campaign where kids are used as human shields behind which they yell “No More Cuts!” and “Protect Our Kids.” The facts are DMUSD spending has increased 46 percent over the last eight years and in only one of those years did the budget decline. DMUSD
now spends more than $10,000 per student — a number that has GROWN every year for the last six years. Eighty-seven percent of school district monies are spent on teachers’ and administrators’ salaries and benefits. Any calls to protect kids are more accurately efforts to protect salaries. It is a serious breach of the public trust when government officials spend public funds to create an advantage for one side of a political campaign. It’s even more egregious when they intentionally mislead caring parents with claims of false cuts. I call on the DMUSD school board to immediately cease using taxpayer-funded resources for political purposes. Michael Robertson

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Baseball: After a slow start, Canyon Crest Academy appears to have turned things around. The Ravens, who lost their first four Valley League games, won their last three to move within striking distance in a crowded field contending for the league title. The Ravens snapped a seven-game losing streak when they beat Orange Glen 3-1 on May 2. They beat Orange Glen again by the same score two days later, and then defeated Valley Center 4-3 in an eight-inning game on May 6. A great pitching performance by Matthew Dinerman helped the Ravens turn things around. Dinerman pitched a complete game fivehitter in which he struck out eight batters and allowed one walk in the first Orange Glen game. Jack Kaloogian led the Ravens offensively Torrey Pines volleyball player Sean with a double and two RBI. Kemper celebrated senior night with his Kaloogian pitched a complete game fivefamily and Coach Matt Wilkinson on hitter in the second Orange Glen game. He struck out seven batters and allowed two walks. May 3. Photo/Anna Scipione Frank Montana pitched two shutout innings in relief of starter Cory Osetkowski to get the win in the Valley Center game. The Columbia-bound Osetkowski pitched six innings of one-hit ball, in which he struck out five batters and allowed four walks. Riley Adams had three hits and Austin Kay had two hits to lead the Ravens offensively. The Ravens improved to 3-4 in league and 9-16 overall for the season. ***** A late rally wasn’t enough to save Santa Fe Christian from its first Coastal League South loss of the season. Trailing by three runs, the Eagles scored two runs in their last at-bat in a tough 3-2 to Francis Parker on May 6. The loss followed a 6-1 victory over Horizon two days earlier. Graham Gomez’s two –run double highlighted the Eagles’ seventh inning rally in the
Parker game. Parker scored all three of its runs off Eagles starter Nolan Gannon in the bottom of the first. Gannon settled down nicely after that, finishing with five strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings of five-hit ball. Gannon had two hits, and Cal Roberts had a double. Both players scored on Gomez’s double. The Eagles combined for 10 hits in the Horizon game. Barrett Floyd had two hits including a double and two RBI to lead the Eagles, and Gannon homered and drove in two runs. Roberts and Bobby Zarubin each contributed two hits. Eagles starter Zarubin allowed one run in six innings of four-hit ball. He struck out nine batters and allowed three walks. The Eagles fell to 5-1 in league and 16-5 overall for the season. ***** Cathedral Catholic remains in first place after a tough week. The Dons experienced their first Western League loss, 7-6 to Point Loma on May 3. They rebounded from that game with a 12-2 league win against Mission Bay on May 5, but lost to La Costa Canyon 7-0 in a nonleague game the next day. Nico Garbella and Eric Sapp each had three hits and Stephen Haviar had two hits including a double and three RBI to lead the Dons in the Mission Bay game. Dons starter Michael Martin allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits in six innings. He struck out five batters and allowed three walks. Haviar homered and drove in three runs to lead the Dons in the Point Loma game. The Dons fell to 6-1 in league and 21-4 overall for the season. ***** Torrey Pines handed Poway its first Palomar League loss, but the Falcons lost two of three games to Poway in a series that eliminated them from title contention. The Falcons rebounded from a 13-7 series opening loss to Poway on May 3, with a nineinning 5-4 win two days later. They lost the series finale 5-3 on May 7. Brian Thene had two hits including a homer and Garrett Stubbs and Morgan Oliver each added two hits in the Falcons win. Falcons starter Reed Mason went the distance, scattering 10 hits for the win. He struck out six batters and allowed two walks. Kyle Johnson had two hits and two RBI to lead the Falcons in the series opener, and Stubbs had two hits for Torrey Pines in the finale. The Falcons fell to 6-5 in league and 19-8 overall for the season. ***** Girls lacrosse: Torrey Pines held on to sole possession of first place in the Avocado League as the Fal-

About the Ravens’ only recent upset, a two-point loss to 2010 Division II champion Cathedral Catholic High School, Coach Nico said, “We lost on the final relay--all swam hard.

Bumper To Bumper Q. Cindy: How do you find out what the automobile manufacturer pays for their cars? I have never bought a new car but now I’m in good financial shape and it is time! I don’t want to get Dave Stall ripped off so any suggestions or website I might look at would be helpful. A. Dave: It wouldn’t do you any good if you did find that information, but if you want a good deal, buy at the end of the month or end of the year during the model change. Don’t buy a car or truck that is in great demand and you should get a pretty good deal. Good luck! Need me to recommend a dealer? Just go through my website and send me an email. Q. Delores: How much damage am I doing to my car if I use 89 octane when the car calls out for 91 octane? I don’t want to end up with big repair bills, so your advice is important to me. Thanks. A. Dave: The worst thing that can happen is you may end up with excessive carbon build-up on your intake valves and pistons. 89 octane fuel is nothing more than 87 and 91 mixed at the fueling station, so it is better than running straight 87 octane. Or, you can add a fuel cleaner at least once a month and this will help keep your fuel system clean. I also recommend a fuel system service at least once a year and to never let the fuel get to the bottom of the tank since that is where all the debris is located and
could clog a fuel filter. Oh — don’t forget to change your fuel filter every 30,000 miles or according to your owner’s manual. Q. Glen: If I don’t like something about my new car, what are the chances I could get it corrected? Who would I write a letter to? The problem is I find it very difficult to see out of my Honda Element when the back seats are put in the upright position. Other than that annoying situation, I just love the car. It does everything I need it to do. A. Dave: Good luck. Honda spent millions of dollars designing a new vehicle, but if you are serious about the problem — which I agree with you — look in the back of your owner’s manual and you will find every way to get a hold of Honda. Other than back up cameras located in the rear view mirrors (which are on some of your concept cars today), it probably would not be cost effective to retrofit or change at this point in time. I must say Honda and the rest of the manufacturers do want to hear from their customers. Q. Sergio: Have you ever heard of a rear view mirror falling off the windshield for no apparent reason? Well, mind did. Now what? How does this get repaired? It looks like the rear view mirror is just glued to the glass. Does it take a special glue to re-attach it? Can I do the repair myself? Sorry for all the questions but I can’t believe how much I need that mirror! A. Dave: There is a special rear view mirror repair kit that can be found at all parts houses or even the dealer. Follow the instructions to the letter and you will be back in business.

Firecrackers Sparkle in 8U Division The Firecrackers faced off with the Black Eyed Peas to clinch the championship in the 8U Division of the North Shore Girls Softball League. The Black Eyed Peas were looking to avenge a loss from earlier in the play-offs. However, the Firecrackers’ pitchers, Lauren Ziment, Nikki Wood, and Emily Krueger, along with a strong defense turned up the heat. “Our girls were able to keep the Peas scoring to a minimum, while their bats were able to put runs on the board,” said Firecrackers’ manager John Wood. Audra Carrangelo and Nikki Wood had multiple hits and drove in the runs needed to secure the championship medals. “Exercise, improved self confidence, and making new friends were just some of the highlights of the recreational season for the girls,” said Wood. “Winning the championship was icing on the cake.” North Shore is currently entering its All-Star season and will begin its Fall Ball season in August. Sign ups for the 2012 recreational season will start in November. For more information, visit www.nsgsl.com.

Carmel Valley man finds calling with Miracle League Carmel Valley resident Dan Engel has lived in Carmel Valley with his wife, Suzie, son Sam and daughter Jordan since 1999. He received a BA in economics from UCLA, and then earned a joint JD/MBA degree at the Boalt Hall School of Law and Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. He began his investment banking career at Salomon Brothers in New York. After more than 15 years in the deal business, he was recruited by the CEO of Applied Underwriters, a company he had financed earWalter Oliver lier in his career. Engel helped grow the company 500 percent over four years before selling it to Berkshire Hathaway. After this more than 20-year-career in the for-profit world, he found his calling in the nonprofit world when, together with his wife, they founded the Miracle League of San Diego, which gives children with special needs the opportunity to play baseball in an organized league. The Miracle League of San Diego offers games in the spring and fall and has just completed its ninth season. It now serves more than 180 players and 200 “buddies” (volunteers) per season. The Miracle League of San Diego is very much a family place for the Engels and many of the other participants. Engel’s wife Suzie has coached, his son Sam helps at the field in many capacities, and his daughter Jordan has been a buddy every season. Engel likes to call Engel Family Field, a Little Padres Park in San Dieguito Park, the “happiest place in San Diego.” In 2010, Engel formed the Non-Profit Purchasing Group (NPPG) to help non-profits nationwide save on their most commonly purchased goods and services. NPPG is the only group purchasing organization dedicated exclusively to non-profits nationwide and serves many non-profits in San Diego County.

The ‘price Hawaiians have paid for paradise’ explored in documentary Film to be shown at UCSD CrossCultural Center BY JOE TASH Contributor Americans think of Hawaii as a breathtakingly beautiful island chain with white-sand beaches, waterfalls, hula dancers and moonlight luaus. But to those of Hawaiian ancestry, such as Del Mar psychotherapist Hanalei Vierra, the history of the islands is much more complex, consisting of conquest, military occupation and subjugation. According to Vierra, 59, few are aware of “the Hanalei Vierra price Hawaiians have paid for paradise. This is the dark side of paradise.” Vierra hopes a recently completed documentary film, called “Hawaii, A Voice for Sovereignty,” will help educate people about the history of the 50th U.S. state, and advance the cause of Hawaiians seeking to redress past wrongs. Vierra has helped organize a free showing of the film that will include native Hawaiian singing and dance performances and a panel discussion with director Catherine Bauknight, at 6 p.m. on May 24 at the UCSD Cross-Cultural Center. The path to Hawaiian statehood stretches back to 1893, when U.S. Marines overthrew the monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Queen Lili’uokalani, at the behest of American businessmen who wanted to grow sugar cane and pineapples on the islands’ fertile soil. Following the “bloodless coup,” Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898, and achieved statehood in 1959. In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional resolution of apology for the takeover. Today, many native Hawaiians are calling for sovereignty as a means of regaining control of land and protecting their cultural heritage, from language to music to dance. “It really all boils down to the land. They need land to live off of, it’s part of their culture,” said Bauknight, a Pasadena-based photojournalist who began

working on the film, her first documentary, in 2005. “What happens to the land happens to the people,” Bauknight said. “It took me a very long time to understand how serious and meaningful that is. It’s not just a cliché.” Since the overthrow, said Vierra, Hawaii has shifted from an agriculturebased economy to one dominated by military bases and tourism. People of Hawaiian ancestry are plagued by high rates of health problems, such as strokes and diabetes, along with alcoholism, homelessness and incarceration.
“The experiment of statehood has benefitted everyone except the Hawaiians,” Vierra said. “The Hawaiians are now on the bottom rung of all the social ladders.” Vierra, who was born in San Bernardino, but lived in both California and Hawaii at various times during his childhood, insists his stance is not anti-American, but “pro-Hawaiian nation.” His parents, native Hawaiians who are now deceased, would not embrace his

Tennis tournament raising funds to help sick children BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer Tennis pro Gretchen Magers is a four-time All American who has played Wimbledon, the US Open and the French Open. Her contemporary Patricia Tarabini won the bronze medal during the 2004 Olympics, where she represented her homeland Argentina. At the height of their careers, each was ranked in the top 30 in the world — and this month, two lucky residents will have a shot at sharing the court with them. One-on-one sessions with these and other top athletes will be raffled off during a May 22 tennis tournament that raises money for ConKerr Cancer San Diego, a nonprofit that aims to brighten hospital visits for critically ill children by giving them colorful handmade pillowcases.

added Audrey Eller, who has been a member of the Optimist Club of Del MarSolana Beach for 23 years and is the regional coordinator for ConKerr Cancer San Diego. ConKerr Cancer San Diego volunteers make colorful handmade pillowcases, which are then taken to children in local hospitals, where each patient gets to pick two pillowcases as a keepsake. “Hospital rooms tend to be very stark and sterile, but these pillowcases are a burst of cheer for the children there,” Eller said. “As one mother put it, these pillowcases made her son feel like a special kid, not a sick kid. This is such a worthy cause, and we certainly hope the community will join us in helping to support it.” In fact, the community is encouraged to come cheer on the tennis players during the May 22 tournament, as admission to the event is free. The event will begin with a 9 a.m.

Marauding pirates will seize the stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre May 19-22 in an original play about the history and unique qualities of Solana Beach. The world premiere of “The Perfectly Preposterous Pirate Adventure of Solana Beach” is the result of an educational grant by the City of Solana Beach and is being presented by NCR’s Theatre School. The play was co-written by Theatre School Director Matt Thompson and NCR Development Officer Kathryn Byrd, who wrote the grant proposal. It tells the tale of a band of misfit pirates who steal a sacred magic object from an island tribe and find themselves thrown into a time warp. A riddle sends them searching through history for the treasure and key that will send them home. However, they keep ending up in the same location — a beautiful stretch of pristine shoreline along the California coast. As they unravel the riddle, they meet friendly inhabitants who help them find the treasure and teach them about the history and culture of

Canyon Crest student Torrey Mercer selected for ‘No Bully Tour’ this summer Torrey Mercer, 17, who is graduating this spring from Canyon Crest Academy (with a 4.2 GPA) has been selected to be part of a six-girl (up-and-coming pop singers) tour this summer on the East Coast to promote “No Bullying” to kids.

Off to see the pugs ... Pug Rescue of San Diego held its 20th annual pug party at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 7. A total of 473 pugs padded into the infield to celebrate on the theme of “The Emerald City — No Place Like Home,” many of them dressed as characters from “The Wizard of Oz” from cutely cowardly lions to flying monkeys. “No Place Like Home” was a fitting theme for the organization that rescues neglected, unwanted, abandoned and relinquished pugs and seeks to place them with loving new families. At the party, pugs could have their fortunes read, get their nails and tail painted to become a “pug of a different color” or take a hot air balloon ride around the party. The always-popular cupcake chomp had pugs racing to gobble dog-friendly cupcakes. Costume contests showed off some amazing creativity—one winner was a group of pugs dressed as a rainbow and bluebirds, to match with the “bluebirds fly over the rainbow” lyric. Also in attendance at the party were several pugs looking for a foster family or a forever home. To learn more about pugs available for adoption, visit pugbutts.com. — Karen Billing

Spring Vegetable Composition
Nobody does fresh, fun and fancy California fare quite like Blanca Olive Oil Poached Halibut with Artichoke, Meyer Lemon and Nettle Emulsion
Executive Chef Gavin Schmidt pays attention to detail as he prepares the dish Still Life of Local Waters, right, with spot prawn, uni, oyster, smoked avocado and Dashi vinaigrette.
Blanca’s exterior and interior are decorated with soft, neutral colors.
BY KELLEY CARLSON lanca means “white” in Spanish, but the Solana Beach restaurant is green in the selection of its ingredients. “Pretty much every single ingredient (we use) we have sought out local,” said Executive Chef Gavin Schmidt. He described foraging for some of the items — harvesting seaweed from the ocean, gathering nettles in the canyons — often before arriving at work, with the help of the sous chef. Schmidt also visits nearby farms and farmers markets daily, ensuring freshness of the ingredients. The most local items are obtained from Blanca’s own property — the restaurant has a garden consisting of herbs and other edibles such as radishes, turnips, finishing greens (watercress, etc.) and cherry tomatoes. The ingredients are then incorporated into a menu featuring California cuisine. For the table, offerings range from Heirloom Wisconsin Black Popcorn, to the House-Made Charcuterie Plate, containing delicacies such as duck liver mousse, lamb prosciutto and soppresatta, a type of Italian sausage. There is also bread that is made in-house. Individual portions on the menu will satisfy vegetarian, meat and seafood lovers alike. A Spring Vegetable Composition includes chamomile-infused yogurt.

Click ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Blanca’s Olive Oil Poached Halibut with Artichoke, Meyer Lemon and Nettle Emulsion Neville Ranch Berkshire Pork, A Day on the Farm, is composed of seven parts from a pig, along with baby vegetables from seed to flower. Schmidt’s personal favorite is the Still Life of Local Waters, which has an “underwater” appearance and features spot prawn, uni, oyster, smoked avocado and Dashi vinaigrette. Guests who can’t decide on one dish can order Choice of Four Courses, Chef’s Tasting Menu and the Vegetarian Tasting Menu, which showcase the best of Blanca’s dishes on a scaled-down version. While there isn’t a special menu for children, Schmidt said there are kid-friendly entrees such as burgers, pizzas and pastas that are available to order. But desserts are for everyone. There’s Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Truffle Cake and Trio of House Made Ice Cream or Sorbet,
among others. For drinks, Blanca offers a full bar, including specialty cocktails such as Green Apple Fuzz and Blanca Brace-Up (Bulleit Rye Whiskey, Absinthe by Pernod, Peche de Vigne, aromatic and orange bitters and gum syrup). The restaurant also has about 500 international wines, sparkling wines and Champagnes. Schmidt and owner Seth Baas have planned wine pairings for each dish offered at Blanca, but can cater to people’s needs and preferences. Patrons may enjoy their food and beverages in several areas. The main dining room, decorated in soft, neutral colors with lanterns hanging overhead, can accommodate 65 people. A private dining room, which has an outdoor patio, a 52inch plasma monitor and an iPod docking port, allows for up to 22 guests. The snacks, light entrees and cocktails of happy hour can be enjoyed at the bar, which has 14 chairs, or in the 30-seat lounge, with cushioned seats, pillows, a coffee table and a TV. Occasionally, there is live jazzy, mellow music that can be heard throughout the establishment. While reservations are not required, they are recommended for weekends, especially during the summer. Special wine and farmers dinners that are open to the public are held sporadically throughout the year. The menus are usually prix fixe, from four to eight courses.

3. Organic fanatics should look for David Holtze’s Green Truck at assorted locales around San Diego, after debuting in Los Angeles and New York City. Holtze’s mission “Healing our planet one meal at a time,” is accomplished through sustainable practices, such as fueling the truck with the filtered vegetable oil they used for cooking their food, generating energy for their commissary kitchen with solar-power, and replacing plastic and Styrofoam with compostable materials made from potato starch, wheat and corn. As for the food, the ingredients are sourced from local farms like Suzie’s Organic Farms, Stehly’s Organic Farms and Bread on Market. Menu items include the Mother Trucker Vegan Burger, (signature made-fromscratch veggie patty topped with organic sprouts, heirloom tomatoes and the secret sauce) the Chipotle Wahoo Fish Taco with pineapple pico de gallo and
scratch-made chipotle sauce enveloped in a natural corn tortilla or grilled Jidori chicken pesto wrap served on warm lavash bread. Add some fresh pita chips with organic hummus made daily, and wash it down nicely with an Organic Palmer, seasonal iced teas blended with agave and fresh squeezed Meyer lemons.

Explore the Antarctic like a scientist at new exhibit An interactive exhibit celebrating 25 years of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research in Antarctica opens at the San Diego Natural History Museum on Saturday for a yearlong run. “Working on Thin Ice: 25 Years of Research in Antarctica” features photographs of scientists at work, the critters they study, and the gear they’ve used, that span the history of the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources Programs. The exhibit also reveals retired research gear, actual Antarctic specimens, and survival suits. Dr. George Watters, director of research for the program that was established in 1986 at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, called the show “a glimpse into the life and work of the dedicated NOAA scientists who travel to this formidable place year after year in order to understand how the Antarctic ecosystem works and how human activity affects its denizens.” The photographs included were taken and donated by Antarctic scientists and can be found in a new collection of more than 1,000 photos at http://swfsc. noaa.gov/ImageGallery.

the exhibit will see stunning and sometimes startling images of change over time in this extreme system, predators and their young, scientists at work, and the field stations where they live. The U.S. AMLR Program conducts at-sea and landbased research in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula, and Southern Scotia Arc region of the Southern Ocean. The San Diego Natural History Museum is the second oldest scientific institution in California and the third oldest west of the Mississippi. It was founded in 1874 by citizen scientists to interpret the natural world through research, education and exhibits and to promote understanding of the evolution and diversity of Southern California.

The artistic Phelans are a family who plays together BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Victoria Martino was raised in a home filled with music and art. Her mother, Ellen Phelan, a noted art educator and collector, was docent chair at La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art (now MCASD-LJ) and developer of the museum’s Art to Schools program. Her father, James Phelan, played viola, violin and piano, taught music and art for San Diego Unified School District, and was tenor soloist at the Congregational Church of La Jolla for some 30 years. So Martino had the perfect background for becoming the internationally respected violinist and art historian she is today. “I lived and breathed art and music from the time I was born, so I didn’t consider it anything extraordinary,” Martino said. “It seemed perfectly normal to go up to UCSD to hear experimental music or over to La Jolla Shores for an Allan Kaprow happening.” Every Saturday, her father took her to her violin lessons and they talked about music. After graduat-

She went on to get her master’s in music at UCSD, where she was first violinist in the graduate string quartet. Marriage to the Australian violist Simon Oswell took her to Tasmania, where she formed her own string quartet. Then she was offered a performance fellowship to USC, which led to a
European tour with the L.A. Baroque Orchestra. A stop in Vienna brought her the opportunity of a lifetime — an invitation to join two renowned musical ensembles and another to create the catalog for a major art exhibition. Her acceptance began a 10-year stay in Vienna and a new marriage to the director of the Albertina Museum, Konrad Oberhuber, who had once been her art history professor at Harvard. At the Albertina, she curated several international art shows and founded a chamber ensemble. She also began commissioning music from contemporary composers, including her father, who had started composing seriously after his retirement from the city schools. Several of his pieces were subsequently performed at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Carnegie Hall. In 2003, after two years in Japan, where Oberhuber had a guest professorship, the couple returned to California, where their young daughter Beatrice (named for Dante’s muse), would have a chance to get to know her grandparents. Since then, Victoria
Martino has presented lecture/concerts in Los Angeles and La Jolla, including an annual series at the Athenaeum in which she explores the interrelationship of music and art throughout history. This year’s series, which started May 3, deals with the post-World War II era, decade by decade. On May 17 and 24, her special guest will be the celebrated Italian guitarist Piero Bonaguri, who has introduced James Phelan’s compositions around the world, and will play one as part of the program on May 24. He will also perform with Martino at a private concert honoring Phelan and his music on May 20. Another musical event this month will include the family’s third generation talent: 18-year-old cellist Beatrice Martino, in a duo with her mother at the La Jolla Historical Society’s Secret Garden Tour on May 14. Beatrice, who is majoring in dance at UC Santa Barbara, is already making a name for herself as a dancer and choreographer, both extending and continuing the family tradition.

Del Mar Rotary Club, Del Mar Boy Scout Troop 713 team up to help the environment For its annual service project, the Del Mar Rotary Club supported the San Dieguito River Park at the San Dieguito Lagoon, and they brought Del Mar Boy Scout Troop 713 with them. Rotarians at Work Day took place on April 30. This project involved two components: providing native habitat while enhancing the overall beauty of the trail; and education for the com-
munity. Rotary members worked with the Park Rangers and volunteer “Dust Devils” to restore habitat next to the Lagoon Trail near San Andres Drive. More than 5,000 square feet of previously non-native habitat was planted with more than 150 native plants. Volunteers installed an irrigation system to help maintain the newly planted coastal sage/upper
marsh habitat. In concurrence, Troop 713 worked hard to build interpretive panel stands that will support the new San Dieguito Lagoon Wetland Project displays. Thanks to the Rotary and the Scouts, fun was had by all during another successful day of service to the west end of the River Park.

‘Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge Race’ to debut at Del Mar Fairgrounds BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer Inflatable slides and swinging boulders aren’t a part of your typical 5K, but then again, the Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge Race isn’t your typical 5K. The event, which is slated for May 21 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, takes a page from the pop culture playbook of Japan, where these sorts of wacky obstacle courses have been bringing in high TV ratings for years. “I think the shows you see in Japan create interest and the ‘what if’ or ‘could I’ question: What if this was offered for me to participate in? Could I do well or fail miserably like many on TV do?,” said Latana Meade, president of VAVi Sport & Social Club, which is behind this event. “Our hope was to turn the ‘what if’ into a reality.” Though VAVi Sport & Social Club coordinates a medley of adult league sports, it’s also known for its untraditional athletic offerings, such as the Del Mar Mud Run last November.
QUESTIONS continued from page B1 lar basis. 2. What makes this town special to you? It’s a great place to raise a family. We’ve got excellent schools, fantastic weather and easy access to anywhere we want to go. 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area? I would like the proposed Main Street development in Carmel Valley completely built out. Better restaurants in a friendly, walking environment like the Grove in Los Angeles or Kierland Commons in Scottsdale would be a huge improvement. 4. Who or what inspires you? I love the whole concept of the Giving Pledge started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. I only hope that these billionaires live up to their obligations during their lifetimes. I’m also inspired by all the players in the Miracle League who play baseball with such joy and passion every Saturday. 5. If you hosted a dinner
“We have noticed over the last few years that people are more and more open to non-traditional sports and activities,” he said. “The data shows that people love to relive their youth and get a little ridiculous.” Adding to that ridiculousness, race participants are encouraged to don playful costumes, and awards will go out to the best getups. The 5K Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge is open to individual competitors, four-person teams and unlimited team signups (for groups of five or more). More than 5,000 people have already signed up to give the 20-obstacle course their best shot, and race organizers are expecting the 7,000 slots to sell out by race day. After the race there will be a party featuring live music and DJs, beverages, food vendors and kiosks featuring several local businesses. For more information and to register for the ROC Race, please visit www.rocrace.com
Awards will presented for best costume at the 5K Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge.
party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? John Wooden, Bill Clinton, Bruce Springsteen, Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Crystal, Frank Deford, Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Graham. I’m going with a mix of sports, politics, music, comedy and acting. I’ve added Graham, the legendary dinner party hostess, to keep the conversation going. 6. Tell us about what you are currently reading.
“Love you More” by Lisa Gardner. 7. Name a few of your favorite movies. “Hoosiers, Diner, North by Northwest, Sabrina and Body Heat” 8. What haven’t you achieved in your life that you would still like to? My goal is to break 80 on the golf course. That being unlikely, I’d like to move to Del Mar and be able to watch the sun set over the ocean every night.
HAWAII continued from page B1 activism on the Hawaiian sovereignty issue, he conceded. His father served in the U.S. Air Force, and later worked as a civil service engineer. His parents lived in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor. “They would look at me like I was nuts,” he said, “like, ‘How dare you?’” But he said he wants non-Hawaiians and those of the older generation of Hawaiian natives to see Bauknight’s film, so they can understand the desires of those she interviewed, who want more control over their destiny and that of the islands. Bauknight said the film has been shown at a number of film festivals and garnered awards. Her next step is to go back to Hawaii and film an update on the activities of those who are pursuing sovereignty, before the film is

released in theaters or broadcast on a national television network in 2012. She also wants to enter it in the Academy Awards competition. “The goal is to get this story out to as many people as possible,” she said. Vierra, who co-writes a column on male-female relationships for this newspaper with his wife, M’Lissa Trent, said he understands that sovereignty for native Hawaiians is a long-shot, but he also believes that sovereignty is the best way for the islanders to improve their health and economic status, as well as protect their culture. “Will I see an independent Hawaii before I die? It would be great, but I don’t know,” he said. For more information about the upcoming screening of the film, and the documentary itself, log onto www.hawaiiavoiceforsovereignty.com.

I could spend all day overlooking the ocean and the islands every day, reading books and playing golf. 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? I’ve made the Bobby McFerrin song “Don’t worry, be happy” my ringtone and I play it all the time. I love seeing the smile on people’s faces when they hear my phone ring.

Del Mar Ballet offers Have a student looking Philanthropy free trial classes to learn this summer? Leadership in Training
During the months of May, June and July, students 3 years and older are invited to take up to three free dance classes at Del Mar Ballet. Directors Tom & Muriel Teague want to help point parents in the right direction when choosing a dance school for the fall. When students are very young and their classes are mostly recreational, choosing a school may not seem all that important. But when a child grows up to have talent and a passion for dance, that earlier decision suddenly takes on more importance. By offering this free trial period Del Mar Ballet is making it easier for parents to shop around for the right school. Del Mar Ballet is located at 11211 Sorrento Valley Road with easy access from the freeway. They offer ballet classes for 3 year olds through adult with limited class sizes and superior facilities. Call 858-320-0033 for more information or visit their website at delmarballet.com.

Celtic mythology has last laugh in ‘A Dram of Drummhicit’ BY DIANA SAENGER Staff Writer Playwrights Arthur Kopit and Anton Dudley’s world premiere musical, “A Dram of Drummhicit” opening May 17 at the La Jolla Playhouse, is based on an article in the London Times about fairies stopping a construction project in Scotland. Artistic Director Christopher Ashley helms the comedy that runs in the Mandell Weiss Theatre through June 12. The story evolves around Robert Bruce (Murphy Guyer from Broadway’s “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”), an American entrepreneur who is building a luxurious golf course on an island in Scotland. When major problems “arise,” Bruce beckons his “fixer” Charles Pearse to come to Scotland. “It seems there’s a report about bog bodies popping up and stopping the construction,” said Lucas
Hall, who plays Charles. “So I must fix the problem. And this is a real occurrence that happened around these islands, as the bodies buried there didn’t decompose because of the iron chemicals in the ground and they would occasionally pop up in the brine.” Although it sounds like a horror story “A Dram of Drummhicit” is far from it. The hint’s in its title – dram meaning a “wee bit” and Drummhicit, a fictional name for Scottish ale. Also, many of the scenes take place in a pub. Hall has performed Off-Broadway and in the tour of “The Merchant of Venice,” “Othello,” “The Hasty Heart” and “The Tempest,” among others and twice at the Old Globe. He said he couldn’t remember the last time he’s had so much fun working in a play. “Part of it is my character. He goes on such a wild journey. In the begin-

ning, of course, I don’t believe in fairies, but at what point does one get over one’s cynicism and go with the flow because you believe it so strongly? I also love this story because it’s magical and mythical and the characters are so exciting. “The story requires a big cast because it’s important to create the community of the town in Scot-
Audiences will find much mirth in the mythical merriment of ‘A Dram of Drummhicit.’ land, and who these people are. We’re lucky to use a lot of UCSD students — some have roles that were in the script and some are just used in pub scenes. I’m impressed by their abilities; they are all fabulous.” Hall said the cast is also fortunate that playwright Ar-
thur Kopit (“Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad,” “Indians” — Tony-nominee, finalist for Pulitzer Prize and “Wings” – Tony-nominee, finalist for Pulitzer Prize) is on the set. “He’s got the answers to anything and is so accessible,” Hall explained. “And there’s a great collaboration between Chris, Arthur and the actors. Having them on board to enhance a scene is great. Chris is wonderful at finding a moment and giving you one little note that opens an entirely different chapter into the character.” Although the play contains strong language and some adult content, Hall is excited that “A Dram of Drummhicit” will appeal to a wide audience.
Coastal Cities Jazz Band to present tribute to Big Band era The Coastal Cities Jazz Band will pay tribute to the Big Band era on May 15 at 2 p.m. at the Carlsbad Community Church with music from the libraries of some of the most popular bands in the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. In addition, the band will premier a new arrangement by Sammy Nestico, “Surrey With a Fringe on Top.” Both vocalist Michael Ruhl and Rick Evans were entertainers on cruise ships for a period of time and will be lending their talents for this concert.

Deglow is based out of Prudential California Realty’s Carmel Valley office and experienced in multiple aspects of real estate.

Since that time she has helped to coordinate a number of successful fundraisers and social events to support the organization; she rehomed 33 Italian Greyhounds in the San Diego area last year with the help of several volunteers. “Getting to see a dog undergo a total transformation from being unwanted and uncared for to being adopted by Megan Deglow someone that is so thankful and appreciative to have a dog in their life is very rewarding,” commented Deglow. By combining her comprehensive knowledge of real estate with her passion for helping other people, Deglow has earned referrals, repeat business and an outstanding reputation in San Diego’s real estate community. With a background in real estate that encompasses the sale and marketing of luxury homes, escrow coordination, commercial leasing and property management, as well as the purchase and sale of residential properties, she is a trusted advisor for clients with a broad spectrum of needs. Deglow attributes her ability to deliver seamless closings to her attention to detail, focus on the goals of her clients and experience assisting a top escrow officer in San Diego County.
