BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Del Mar’s legal battle over short-term rentals (STRs) is becoming more pitched thanks to a new round of filings and accusations that have deepened the litigious divide. The latest developments include the city’s first response to the lawsuit initiated by a group of disgruntled residents nearly two months ago, and a splinter case in which that group’s lawyer has accused city officials of dragging their feet in meeting a wide-ranging information request for all communications by all city councilmembers going back seven years. The bulk of the request centers on the council’s May 1 ratification of its April 17 ruling that laid the groundwork for the policy that the council has since continued to give shape to. The council’s most recent move was to target May 2018 as the beginning of the new policy, which will limit full-home rentals, single-room rentals and home “swaps” to seven-day minimums that cannot exceed 28 days per calendar year. Rentals that last more than 30 days will not be affected. Years of outcry over the explosion of short-term rentals made possible by websites such as AirBnB and VRBO.com SEE RENTALS, A24

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District’s first charter school, the School of Universal Learning (SOUL), has finally found its home. SOUL will open for its first day of school on Aug. 29 at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Harper Branch in Solana Beach. Securing a facility had been founders Michael Grimes and Marisa Bruyneel-Fogelman’s biggest challenge and now that one has been locked down, it is finally feeling real. “It grounded everything and made it official,” said Grimes. “When the first student walks in the door it will be a culmination of all of our life’s work,” said Bruyneel-Fogelman, a Carmel Valley resident. “I’ll be emotional. I’ve worked for that moment for a long time.”

Grimes and Bruyneel-Fogelman said they believe strongly in supporting students in a positive environment and teaching to all parts of a student’s being, including social skills and personal development, and creating a connection to their passions and purpose so they are able to thrive holistically. Education at SOUL will include experience-based and project-based learning with required electives such as entrepreneurship and essential life skills. All of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and Smarter Balanced Assessment tests like all public schools. A typical day will also include their unique

Noise issues prompt changes for One Paseo night work BY KAREN BILLING As off-site construction work on One Paseo ramped up during summer nights, residents of the East Bluff community of Carmel Valley across the street took the brunt of the impact. Residents complained of hearing the endless beeping of trucks backing up throughout July and jackhammers blasting at 2 a.m.

Kilroy Realty had been permitted by the city to do off-site construction work on One Paseo from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., but following complaints from the neighbors, adjustments have been made. The new nighttime construction hours are between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. and the majority of night work has been completed. In response to complaints streaming into District 1

City Councilmember Barbara Bry’s office after the July 4 weekend, Bry’s community representative Steven Hadley organized an informational meeting at East Bluff on July 19 with city and Kilroy Realty staff to answer questions and listen to suggestions on residents’ noise and traffic concerns. “(The noise situation) has improved greatly,” one SEE ONE PASEO, A24

Body-worn cameras get green light from Board of Supervisors The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved July 18 more than $1 million to equip Sheriff’s Deputies with body-worn cameras, according to a Sheriff’s Department press release. The Sheriff’s Department will officially roll out its body-worn camera program next month at the Alpine Sheriff’s Station and Ramona Sheriff’s Substation. From there, deputies countywide will receive the cameras within four to five months. During that time, deputies will be trained on how to use the body-worn cameras, as well as preparing and fine tuning the infrastructure to support the technology. Sheriff Bill Gore says the body-worn cameras will help provide another perspective during use of force investigations. “Hopefully now with body-worn cameras, we’ll see what started the force. Was it appropriate force? Was it too much force? It’ll tell the story.” The Sheriff’s Department has been working on implementing body-worn cameras in its law enforcement operations for several years. In August 2014, a Sheriff’s Committee was established to explore the suitability and feasibility

of body-worn cameras. The committee was made up of representatives from the Sheriff’s Data Services Division, Training Unit, Contracts Division, Patrol and Detentions. The Sheriff’s Body-Worn Camera Committee met with law enforcement agencies from across the United States, including several in San Diego County, to get their feedback on their respective experiences with the technology. The Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) was consulted for their assistance and insight in helping determine how body-worn cameras could best serve the Sheriff’s Department and the community. The department also met with members of the public to get their input on proposed policies and procedures. In February 2016, the Sheriff’s Department unveiled a 90-day pilot program at select stations and facilities to try out body worn cameras from three different companies. The data collected and experience gained during the pilot program was valuable in determining how the Sheriff’s Department wanted its final body-worn camera program to operate, according to the press release.

Solana Beach farmland slated for luxury homes BY SEBASTIAN MONTES One of the last pieces of agricultural land in Solana Beach is on its way to becoming luxury housing under a proposal that would subdivide the 4-acre plot on South Nardo Avenue into plots for eight single-family homes. More than a decade in the making, Ocean Ranch Estates is the brainchild of San Diego-based developer Nicholas P. Nicholas. He has split the project into two phases. The first phase seeks to clear the site, subdivide the 4.2 acres into lots ranging from 14,000 to 35,000 square feet and create building pads for eight single-family homes. Phase 1 also includes upgrading the unnamed street on the parcel’s northern edge into Bell Ranch Road with curbs, sidewalks, parking and Olive trees. The second phase would build the eight homes. With separate approval and construction, Nicholas expects it could be more than two years before the

Rancho Coastal Humane Society to open Wildlife Center in the fall BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Injured and sick wild squirrels and some types of birds will soon have a place to recover in North County. The Rancho Coastal Humane Society will open the San Diego Wildlife Center in the fall. The center, which will be located in an industrial part of Carlsbad on Camino Vida Robles, will provide a space for North County residents to take injured seed-eating squirrels, songbirds and shorebirds, said John Van Zante, public relations director for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. The humane society has worked for several months to open the center, he said. It had to work with the state to get proper permitting and inspections. "You can't just decide to help wildlife one day and have it happen immediately," Van Zante said. "There are a lot of laws regarding wildlife. The legwork on this to get to where we are now has been quite long and quite intense." He said if someone finds an injured wild animal, they are encouraged to take it to the Wildlife Center, where medical professionals would determine the extent of the injury. If the animal is treatable, it will get treatments and medications and stay

RANCHO COASTAL HUMANE SOCIETY

Rescued baby squirrels, like the one shown here, will soon be treated at the San Diego Wildlife Center in Carlsbad. there until it is stabilized. Once it is stabilized and recovering, the animal will be transferred to a barn at Rancho Coastal Humane Society to continue its trip back to health until it can be released back into the wild. Van Zante said wild animals play a huge role in North County, and used to be even more prominent in the area. "This is kind of a return to our roots," he said of the importance of the Wildlife Center. "When Rancho Coastal opened in 1960, there was a dirt path behind the shelter we now know as the I-5 Freeway. There would be all these foxes, sea lions, raccoons, possums, skunks and other animals in the area. So, when the shelter started there was a lot of wildlife in this area."

As Encinitas grew, the majority of the animals migrated east, but some animals still linger around the city, he noted. It is important to note that animals don't live in the humans' community; the humans live in theirs, Van Zante said. "In Coastal North County, there is a lot of wildlife," he said. "Anywhere you are in San Diego County, you are surrounded by wildlife. What we want to do is make it so people in this part of the county — who find sick or injured wildlife — have a place to go where it's closer and easier for them to take action. Every animal deserves a tomorrow." For more information about the Wildlife Center and to donate, visit sdpets.org.

UC San Diego scientists granted $5.8M for cancer research Researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine July 20 were awarded $5.8 million to develop an immunotherapy that would target certain cancer stem cells. The grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine’s Independent Citizens Oversight Committee addresses cancers that defy standard treatment. According to UCSD Health, cancer stem cells present survival abilities that often render regular therapies ineffective or short-term.

The money will be used to test the concept of the therapy and generate safety data prior to human trials, according to Dr. Ezra Cohen, professor of medicine and associate director for translational science at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. The idea is to extract immune system T cells from a patient, add a gene that would activate the cell when confronted with a receptor called ROR1, grow large numbers of the altered T cells and infuse them back into the patient.

North County first responders receive threat recognition training BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than a dozen North County police officers, firefighters and other public safety officials gathered at the Veterans Association in Oceanside July 18 through July 20 to learn how to better protect themselves and be more aware in situations. Sentir Global — an intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and training organization — led the efforts to heighten the authorities' awareness. Lee Wakefield, CEO of Sentir Global, said this is a type of training the participants had not yet endured. It is offered for all North County first responders, including police officers, firefighters, border patrol officers and paramedics. "The reason we want first responders to have this knowledge is that in Syria, in Paris, in Brussels, in London... first responders are now becoming targets," he said. "We don't want firefighters and paramedics having tunnel vision without being able to look at a potential situation where they're going to become a victim." While he did not want to detail the lessons learned in the workshops, Wakefield said the trainings are especially important today, when people possess short attention spans and attachments to hand-held electronic devices. "We're looking at human behavior because we now have two generations of young people who have communicated with their thumbs on their phones instead of looking at human behavior and interpreting it," said Wakefield, retired in 1998 from the U.S.

technology, those working in public safety have to be on higher alert. Nearly 40 percent of the course is live scenario-driven events and analysis of videos and photos, Wakefield said. Participants were shown videos from real-life situations in which a tragedy might have been prevented had the officer known what signs to look out for. These included indicators — following human behavior-based predictive analysis — for situations where a person would harm themselves or others around them. "You have to think like the enemy," one instructor told the crowd. Tim Pruitt, an 11-year police officer with the Oceanside Police Department, said he was grateful training like this existed. He said minimal training of this kind is offered at his department. "We touch a little on that in the academy, but the academy is just basic stuff," Pruitt said. “This is definitely informative and stuff we don't talk about regularly.” He said he was most looking forward to learning cues that could signal potential trouble or dishonesty. Wakefield said Sentir Global is also planning to host similar workshops on threat recognition and situational awareness for local school districts and the general public this fall. More first responder trainings in North County will take place quarterly, Wakefield said. Those interested in more information can visit sentirglobalus.com or email Wakefield at lee@sentir.us.

New novel reimagines Lincoln’s fate against backdrop of the Kentucky Derby BY JOE TASH Ross Moore is a storyteller, educator and singer-songwriter. But he had no plans to put his ideas on paper in the form of a work of fiction. “There was nothing in my life that ever said I was going to write a novel,” said Moore, 61, a Solana Beach resident. But a light-hearted conversation he had with some colleagues nearly a decade ago, before the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, put the seed of an idea in his head. Fast-forward to May of 2017, when Moore published his first novel, “Third Monday in May,” a work of revisionist fiction in which the 16th president survived an assassination attempt by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington, and lived to attend the first running of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville in 1875. The book is meant to appeal to horse racing enthusiasts who want to learn a bit of history of the Kentucky Derby, as well as Lincoln fans who can’t get enough of Honest Abe, said Moore, and those who just enjoy a suspenseful tale. The latter element

comes in the form of a New Orleans gambler who sees Lincoln’s visit to Louisville as a chance to avenge the downfall of the Confederacy. The story also works in historical details about African-American jockeys in the thoroughbred industry, a personal passion for Moore. He said African-American jockeys won 15 of the first 30 Kentucky Derbies. Moore, who now works part-time at the Encinitas Library, had a wealth of information to draw on when he was writing his book. Before relocating to San Diego County from Kentucky in 2008, he worked as an educator at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville for 12 years. “It was the best job ever,” he said. His duties included putting together and teaching educational programs for students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. “Kids love horses,” he said. “We used the horses as the hook to teach math, science, history and economics,” he said. That made research for his book simple, he said. “The information was in my head.” Once he started thinking about the possibility of Lincoln surviving the assassination attempt and attending the first Kentucky Derby, another idea emerged: “What if there was a plot to kill him?” When Moore moved to San Diego with his wife, Susan, who is deputy director of the San Diego County Library, the Great Recession was in full swing and jobs were hard to come by. With time on his hands, Moore said, “I sat down and started to write this story.”

One challenge, he said, was writing a fictional representation of Abraham Lincoln, a larger-than-life figure who is so embedded in the national consciousness. “If you’re writing about Lincoln you’ve kind of opened a can of worms,” Moore said. He felt somewhat presumptuous, he said, and didn’t want to offend Lincoln buffs. But he made a point of thinking about

Lincoln as a person rather than an icon. And although he was writing a revisionist historical novel, he tried to be as factual as possible, whether he was including details about Lincoln, the Derby or other elements of the book. The book ended up being somewhat of a family affair, as Moore turned to his brother, Larry W. Moore, to both edit and publish the novel. Larry, who runs a small publishing house called Broadstone Books, presented the book to his partners and they accepted it. Moore’s novel became the first work of fiction published by Broadstone, which had previously published poetry and non-fiction books, Moore said. In between the time Moore wrote his novel, in 2011, and when he began working with his brother on the editing, the manuscript sat on the shelf, Moore said, until he was inspired to dust it off after hearing a story on NPR about an author who made it big. “The fantasy was, if I put it out there, maybe something will happen,” he said. Moore plans to market and promote his book in the coming months, with one trip already planned for the Kentucky Book Fair in November. The book can be found at Broadstone, http://bit.ly/2tSgtJx or at Small Press Distribution, http://bit.ly/2vzeITu Moore, who also started an acoustic music showcase through the San Diego County Library, can be reached at ross_moore@bellsouth.net.

CCA graduate named Bank of America Student Leader BY KAREN BILLING This summer over 200 standout high schools students were selected to participate in the Bank of America Student Leaders program. The program offers high school students who are engaged community citizens the opportunity to build their workforce and leadership skills through a paid summer internship at a local nonprofit, as well as attend a national leadership summit in Washington, D.C. Five students from San Diego were selected, including Alexander Zhang, a recent graduate of Canyon Crest Academy who will attend Columbia University in the fall. “Through Student Leaders, we’re building pathways to success for young adults in the region and giving voice to the next generation, who will help develop a more diverse and inclusive society,” said Rick Bregman, San Diego market president of Bank of America. “By engaging young people in meaningful and relevant work experiences that helps build resumes and manage paychecks, we can help advancing economic mobility.” Zhang and the rest of the students from San Diego were given a paid internship at 2-1-1 San Diego, a resource and information hub that connects people with community, health and disaster services. “We are thrilled to partner with Bank of America in the Student Leaders program,” said John Ohanian, 2-1-1 San Diego president and COO. “These extraordinary

high school students bring their passion for leadership to 2-1-1, helping us increase our impact while leveraging their distinct skills.” Zhang was one of 200 San Diego students to apply for the Student Leaders program. “I was looking for something to do this summer as last summer I worked in a lab and I wanted to keep my options open,” said Zhang. He was drawn to the Bank of America program for its community service aspect, as in his sophomore year, Zhang founded the Music Outreach Club, bringing classical music performances to nursing homes, hospitals and community events. In addition to his talents on the bassoon and piano, Zhang is also very science-minded and is proud of two research projects he has been involved with while at Canyon Crest Academy. Two years ago after his grandmother became ill with a blood disease, possibly myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), he wanted to learn more about the disease and contacted Dr. John Che, a local bioinformatics professor at UC San Diego. “Since then, we've developed a classification system using MDS patient data that could be used for personalized treatment, possibly improving the diagnostic rate from the current 50 percent to 80 percent, or even higher,” said Zhang, who was able to present the study as first author at the American Association of Clinical Chemistry’s international scientific

conference in Philadelphia last August. Last summer, Zhang was selected as a full-time intern at The Scripps Research Institute, sponsored by the Life Sciences Summer Institute. He spent seven weeks focused on developing a vaccine for Dengue fever. He was invited to present his findings at several regional conferences.

After visiting family in China this summer, Zhang has been at the 2-1-1 internship for the last two weeks. The interns’ project for the summer is to create a youth ambassador program, targeting youth in the community to make them more aware of the services 2-1-1 provides as well as create volunteer activities for students. “We hope to target the special needs of students at each school and emphasize how 2-1-1 can help alleviate some of those problems,” Zhang said. At 2-1-1, he has seen how a nonprofit runs from top to bottom, which he says will help him at Columbia University where he hopes to continue his community service efforts with Music Outreach. On July 9-14, Zhang traveled to Washington, D.C. for the Bank of America’s Student Leadership Summit along with the leaders from across the country. They were able to attend multiple seminars with a variety of speakers, including Barbara Bush, the co-founder of the Global Health Corps. The seminars focused on issues of politics, social work and nonprofits, and the leaders also had the opportunity to visit local representatives on Capitol Hill. The San Diego group was able to speak with Congresswoman Susan Davis from the 53rd congressional district. “I really enjoyed Congresswoman Davis. She asked a lot of questions about college and higher education for students,” Zhang said. “She really took the time to listen to us SEE BOA, A26

Accelerate wins Grade II, $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap BY KELLEY CARLSON Victor Espinoza celebrates aboard Accelerate (left) after defeating the world’s top-ranked racehorse, Arrogate, in the Grade II, $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap on Saturday, July 22 at Del Mar. Accelerate covered the 1 1/16 miles on the dirt in 1:42.15, 8 1/2 lengths clear of runner-up Donworth. Cat Burglar was 2 1/2 lengths farther back in third. Arrogate – who had won seven consecutive races and more than $17 million – struggled home fourth, 15 1/4 lengths behind Accelerate. “I think he (Arrogate) just laid an egg,” trainer Bob Baffer said. “I don’t think it had anything to do with the track. He was just flat.” Accelerate’s trainer, John Sadler, noted that his horse trained really well the previous weekend at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.

“You want to win, you don’t want to concede anything, but I’m surprised we won because Arrogate is the best horse in the world,” he said. “A couple of things went right for us, and one of them was that Arrogate didn’t fire his best. That’s what has to happen for these big upsets.” The 4-year-old Accelerate is owned by Hronis Racing. Also on Saturday, Hunt outfinished Ashleyluvssugar in the Grade II, $250,000 Eddie Read Stakes. The winner is owned by Michael House of Rancho Santa Fe. Other horses who notched stakes victories during the past week include Madam Lancelot (Grade II, $200,000 San Clemente Handicap), Bowies Hero ($117,900 Oceanside Stakes) and Madame Stripes ($82,775 Osunitas Stakes) and Blackjackcat ($79,190 Wickerr Stakes).

In her first two children’s books, TPHS alum weaves big lessons into little rhymes BY SEBASTIAN MONTES A funny thing happened as Danielle Chammas was finishing up her first two children’s books. She had conjured the rhyming verses and dotingly crafted every accompanying illustration, girding each page with lessons on finding self-worth and the hard task of embracing mistakes. The painstaking work had thrust her, finally, onto the precipice of living up to promises she had held her whole life long. And then: paralyzing panic. “I had every insecurity you could think of — What if people don’t like them? What if they get a bad review? — and I caught myself and thought wow, Dani, if your goal is that people’s confidence should come from within, that they shouldn’t be so scared of mistakes that they can’t live their lives, then you have to embody it, too. So I just put these books out there and haven’t looked back.” What came out were two books for the first-time author, a Del Mar native and Torrey Pines High School alum who practices psychiatry and palliative care in the Bay Area. Her days at TPHS had been filled with writing and drawing and all manner of creative pursuits, but eventually she settled on keeping those passions as a hobby. Dreams of making a children’s book never truly diminished, though, and eventually her end-of-life work coupled with the birth of her daughter two years ago stoked that long-simmering fire. “There comes a point where you see so many young people die before they could get around to doing x y, z, and it just hit me, what am I doing, I’m the same age as these people, life is too short to keep my bucket list in the background,” she said. “Something got lit under me. The

Del Mar native and debut author Danielle Chammas says her daughter’s birth helped spark her life-long dream of writing and illustrating children’s books.

juxtaposition of having a young kid and watching young people die made me realize, ‘There’s no time to waste, this is your life, do it now.’” Her little books tackle the biggest of themes, delivering messages as useful for young minds thrust headlong into a social media world as they are for the parents trying to help them navigate it. The growing plague where value is coming from the outside, basing their self-esteem on SAT scores and what colleges they get into — external things rather than internal valuing hard work. “We’re seeing in today’s society that there’s just

so much pressure and so many of our youth are growing up struggling with self-esteem and anxiety and perfectionism, and it haunts them into adulthood,” she said. “I just want my daughter and every kid to be able to flip that around so they can walk through life feeling good from the inside about who they are, because then anything can happen to them and they’ll still find emotional happiness.” The first book, “A Wish From a Fish,” centers on a sweet but self-effacing fish who feels utterly plain and goes through life pining to be to be every other creature she meets. As the pages turn, the fish finally finds a friendly turtle who

describes the coolest animal imaginable. The fish, of course, longs to be that creature, only realizing on the final page that the creature is her. “I can’t tell you how many times a patient came in and wanted to talk about something they saw on someone else’s Facebook page,” Chammas said. “What’s unique to this generation of kids is that they’re growing up in a world where we’re disproportionately seeing all the great things that are happening in everyone’s lives. And at the same time they’re getting so many more evaluations and standardized tests and so much more outside judgment than past generations have had. It’s imperative for us to help them build a strong internal source of emotional competence so they can celebrate the successes or the differences of others without feeling really crummy.” Her second book — “An Oops Sort of Day” — brings an interactive element to the story of its young protagonist going through his day, blundering one step to the next before ultimately learning to embrace his mistakes rather than fear them. “With the right attitude these really beautiful and unpredictable developments come out of each mistake that would have never been possible if he’d gotten it all right from the start,” Chammas said. “It’s the lesson that the world just isn’t in our control — and that’s OK, it’s part of the beauty of life. We, as parents, have forgotten the importance of falling down and getting back up, of doing something wrong and discovering something new. It’s so well-intentioned, but then in the mental health field we end up seeing this epidemic of stressed-out young adults who are afraid to make a misstep and it’s getting in the SEE BOOKS, A26

Crews at Rancho Coastal Humane Society work to unload a truck full of 17 tons of donated dog and cat food on July 18.

Greg Westermeyer, a three-year volunteer with the Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego, begins loading up 1,200 pounds of dog food the rescue organization received from the Rancho Coastal Humane Society on July 18.

17 tons of donated pet food delivered to Rancho Coastal Humane Society BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Thousands of needy animals will have full bellies soon thanks to a donation of 17 tons — or 34,400 pounds — of dog and cat food at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. Fourteen pallets of Special Kitty cat food and 21 pallets of Sam's Club dog food, which were carried on a big rig from Reno, were delivered to the Humane Society July 18 from the Rescue Bank, operated by GreaterGood.org. "What happens in situations like this is they'll get an overstock,” explained John Van Zante, public relations director at the Humane Society. “The food has a 'best by' date, but it's actually still good for a year after that. Those still won't sell in the stores. They trust us to distribute that food."

The food will then be given to registered, pre-approved San Diego County nonprofit animal rescue organizations, he said. Van Zante said in San Diego County alone there are more than 200 registered rescue groups. He said this is one of the largest donations in the center's 57-year history. He estimated the food will provide more than 100,000 meals for dogs and cats in San Diego and surrounding counties. "Last year, we had two shipments of 38,000 pounds each,” he said. “Those went to rescue groups in San Diego, Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties." The food is offered free of charge to the nonprofits, but the groups must pay 10 cents per

pound they're given to help with shipping costs. "Ten cents a pound might seem like a lot," Van Zante said. "If you figure a rescue will get six tons of food for about $115, that's a great price." Greg Westermeyer, a three-year volunteer with the Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego, was the first rescuer to arrive July 18. He patiently waited for the organization's chosen 1,200 pounds of dog food. He said the kibble he gathers will be distributed among the nonprofit's nearly 100 chihuahuas in foster and adoption care. "It's unfortunate that a lot of dogs are discarded," Westermeyer said. "This [donation] is helpful for people who are stressing out about how they're going to make their ends meet and feed their dog, which can be a family member.

We're grateful when this happens because the food goes a long way." Van Zante said he is happy the Humane Society can offer this food to the rescues, which mainly rely on donations. This food means more money for medical treatment, foster care, vaccinations, spaying, neutering and other operational costs, he noted. He said one of his favorite memories was two female rescuers driving away in vans full of dog food."You know what this means?" Van Zante recalled one of the ladies saying to the other. "This means we don't have to choose which dogs get to eat tonight. All of them do." For more information about the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and ways to donate, visit rchumanesociety.org.

Female scientists share their breakthroughs at Salk lecture BY WILL BOWEN A full house of 300 or so (mostly women and mostly over age 30), sat in rapt attention straining to understand the panel of enthusiastic medical scientists who spoke at the “Women Innovators in Human Health: From Bench to Beside” conference July 11 in the Prebys Auditorium of the Salk Institute in La Jolla. “This lecture series started back in 2012 with just 30 people,” beamed Lisa Cashman, Salk Institute program developer. “We kept at it and now we have over 300 people here today. I’d say that’s quite a success story!” The host for the event was Rafaele Tordjiman, M.D., Ph.D., founder and chair of WITH (Women Innovating Together in Healthcare). Tordjiman said she was educated in clinical hematology and internal medicine in the hospitals of Paris, France. In 2001, she moved to the United States to take a position with Sofinnova Partners as a special adviser. “WITH is a network of accomplished women who have talent in industry, medicine, research, charity and finance,” Tordjiman explained. “The organization was established to inspire and support women working in the life sciences so they can reach their full potential and deliver innovative healthcare solutions for the benefit of patients worldwide.” Carol Gallagher, a doctor of Pharmacology with the venture capital firm of New Enterprise Associates, introduced each of the three lectures that comprised the conference. Gallagher described herself as an entrepreneur, investor and operator with more than 25 years of experience in commercial drug development, working with both large and small pharmaceutical companies. The first talk of the afternoon, titled “Discover, Innovation and Translation” was given by Michelle Booden, Ph.D., senior director in the Office of Technological Development at Salk. Booden explained the long and winding road of how basic medical research gets transformed into useable products that are then brought to the market for sale to the public. Booden said the key to successful drug development was, “sell the problem not the product.” The next speaker was Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., who discussed “Bringing precision medicine to patients.” Kurzrock is the director for the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy at UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center. Kurzrock said that she and her team design personalized strategies for treating patients with cancer. Rather than focusing on just giving patients a specific cancer drug, they try to create the best strategy of intervention using a customized combination of anti-cancer and immune-stimulating medicines. “We try to develop and test a strategy not a drug,” she said. To achieve this end, her team develops a comprehensive understanding of a patient, including a genetic profile. “We want to move from being drug-centric to being patient-centric,” she explained. “There are 300 different cancer drugs, meaning there are 45,000 possible ways to combine any two of these

This promises to be a fun collaboration between Salk researchers and students from the Mesa College Design Program. The students will create and model fashions based on Salk science. Reserve a seat by contacting Betsy Collins at (858) 500-4883 or becollins@salk.edu 300 drugs and 4.5 million possible combinations of any three drugs. My job is to find the best combination.” Kurzrock says her patient-centered approach is necessary because “every tumor is unique ... every cancer can be thought of as a one-of-a-kind malignant snowflake. Basically, our goal is not so much to kill the cancer with a drug, but rather to get the patient’s own immune system working again so it can fight off the cancer as it is meant to do.” The final talk of the day was a joint venture involving Sheila Gujrathi, M.D., and Esther Martinborough, Ph.D. They took turns explaining the development of the drug Ozanimod, which is used to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Gujrathi is a physician executive, who worked for the company, Receptos, as its Chief Medical Officer from 2011 to 2015. She is currently an independent board director at Five Prime Therapeutics. Martinborough, who was educated at the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the executive director of research at Receptos. They explained that MS is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body attacks itself. In this case, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, which covers the nerves. Although there is no cure for MS, the drug Ozanimod reduces the symptoms by up 86 percent and has fewer side effects than its predecessor, a drug called Fingolimod, they said. The doctors also discovered that Ozanimod is helpful in the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease. After the presentations all adjourned for a reception with refreshments. Larry Greenfield, M.D., a retired radiologist who used to work at St. Jude’s Hospital in Los Angeles, and his wife Carol, were in attendance at the conference. They said they started coming to the “Women in Science” series in 2013 and have been so impressed with the researchers that they decided to help support them. Also at the reception was JoLynn Clark, a registered nurse who works in the Medical Imaging at UC San Diego Health Care. Clark said she frequently attends Salk events because “the talks are always fabulous and have the latest information to help you make the best decisions about your health care. I highly recommend these events.”

Del Mar resident Chris White is heading to the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics in Lawrence, Kansas. Chris, who is an incoming sophomore at The Grauer School, recently took first place in the javelin for 15/16-year-old boys at the USATF Region 15 Qualifier meet in Escondido, where he competed with the best athletes in track and field from Hawaii, Nevada, San Diego and Southern California. His throw of 45.81 meters qualifies him to throw at the Junior Olympics against the best throwers in the nation. Chris has been throwing the javelin since he was introduced to the sport in elementary school at a Track and Field Camp held each summer by Del Mar Union School District PE teacher Ian Philip. While javelin is not a sport in high school in Southern California, Chris has found throwing opportunities through local track clubs. Chris recently won the javelin throw for 15/16-year-old boys at the California State Games with his best throw of the season (46.38 meters), as well as the AAU Region 23 meet held in late June. This will be Chris’s fourth trip to the Olympics throwing the javelin.

Lytle helps San Dieguito Synchro swim club shine at Junior Olympics BY GIDEON RUBIN Grace Lytle is gaining national recognition in a sport few in northern San Diego County know much about. When she brings it up, the typical response is “I didn’t even know that was a thing out here,” Lytle said. Synchronized swimming is very much a thing out here. Lytle is among 40 or so members of a local club team that’s literally venturing into unchartered waters. San Dieguito Synchro swim club sent 16 northern San Diego County athletes to this year’s Junior Olympics, all of whom made the finals for the first time in club history. Danielle Coggburn took over the Northern San Diego County’s club six years ago. The club was founded in 2004. Lytle, who’ll be a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy this fall, and Olivia Dalry (Cathedral Catholic High School) placed 11th in the intensely competitive 13-to 15-year-olds duets competition. Sixteen-to 17-year-old duets

Samantha Whitley and Mari Burigana (La Costa Canyon) placed 10th. Lytle and Dalry were among five local athletes who were part of a 15-to-19-year-old combo team that placed eighth. Phoebe and Lily Kreps (both of San Dieguito Academy) and Joanne Wang (Santa Fe Christian) were the other members of the team. Rose Bonhome and Kylie Hayasse (both of CCA) and Jamie Xiao, (Santa Fe Christian) were part of a 16-and 17-year-old team that placed 10th. Alexandra Suarez left Cathedral Catholic after her junior year to train with the Team USA in Moraga (Contra Costa County). Suarez and Lytle are among three club members who were invited to compete with the national team. Lytle is the club’s youngest swimmer and has tremendous upside, Coggburn said. “She’s the youngest girl on the team but she’s the hardest working and I would say one of my top kids.” Coggburn said. Lytle credits the club with

suffered a career-ending shoulder injury. She moved to the San Diego to complete her education, earning a master’s degree in special education at San Diego State University. But she could never shake her love for a sport she started competing in when she was 10 growing up in Seattle. “I think it’s a such a unique sport, people really don’t really know much about it,” Coggburn

said. “It’s kind of like one of the things that you see in the Olympics every four years maybe. It’s a niche sport.” Lytle started synchronized swimming when she was 6. She prides herself for taking on an ambassadorship role. “I’ve always felt a lot of pride in my sport because it really isn’t something you see all over the place,” Lytle said. “People see it in the Olympics and they see it as SEE SWIMMER, A26

Fairbanks Ranch residents win medals in tennis at 20th World Maccabiah Games Fairbanks Ranch residents Judy and Larry Belinsky, along with Andy Harrison, recently returned from Israel where they won medals at the 20th Maccabiah Games. About 9,500 Jewish athletes from over 80 countries gathered at the third largest international sporting competition in the world. Athletes from 43 sports competed at the “Jewish Olympics” as they tested their skills in one of four Maccabiah divisions – Junior, Open, Masters and Paralympics. The Belinskys and Harrison all competed in Masters Tennis. Harrison won gold medals in both events he played – Masters 70 singles and Men’s 70 doubles. His division was contested on clay courts. It was his first trip to Israel and his first Maccabiah experience. Like Harrison, in her first Maccabiah Games, Judy Belinsky won gold in Women’s 60 singles and took bronze with her husband, Larry, in the combined 55/60 Mixed Doubles division. Through the course of the tournament, Judy dropped only a total of six games in her singles matches played. Conditions were brutal as temperatures were in the low ’90s with extreme humidity. Larry was hoping to do better than when he last competed in the Games 24 years ago in 1993. Once again, he took silver, losing to an Israeli in a hard-fought final 3-6 6-7(2) in Men’s 60 singles. Along the way, he defeated opponents from Argentina, Canada, Israel and Great Britain. He and wife, Judy, held the distinction of not only being the only husband and wife that competed, but also to

win medals at the Games. The Belinskys and Harrison competed at the Israeli Tennis Center in Ramat Hasharon outside of Tel Aviv. Opening Ceremonies took place in Jerusalem on Thursday, July 6 with Closing Ceremonies on Monday, July 17 in Latrun with the theme of the evening titled: “Higher. Better. Together.” Supermodel Bar Refaeli was the MC for the evening. She concluded with this: “Take with you the excitement, the love, and especially the togetherness of these Games.” Visit www.maccabiah.com

Surfing Scientist

Mathematician calculates the ‘sweet spot’ of a wave By María José Durán ike all surfers, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) post-doctoral student Nick Pizzo has been looking for the perfect spot on a wave since he started surfing at age 15. His research paper “Surfing Surface Gravity Waves,” published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics June 16, defines that “sweet spot” in mathematical terms. The study explains “which particles on a wave are going to accelerate, and when they do, how fast they’re going to go,” Pizzo said. “As surfers know, the sweet spot is in the curl. It’s right underneath the lip of a breaking wave. “These things are obvious to surfers, but the intent of the study is not to show things that are obvious to surfers, it’s kind of cool that there’s something people can fundamentally understand, but the idea (of the study) was to understand the currents that are generated by these breaking waves,” he explained. What he loves about surfing is finding that high speed. “That’s the best part for sure,” he said. “It’s because it’s that sweet spot, same thing when you’re getting barreled.

Nick Pizzo surfs near the Scripps Pier ‘every day the waves are good.’ That’s why is so exciting to be there, you have these huge accelerations that happen in the barrel.” Pizzo completed his Ph.D. in 2015 at SIO, where he has been studying the physics of the ocean. “We want to better understand how the ocean and the atmosphere talk to each other,” he explained. “The way that they do it, is kind of the game of telephone with a little kid in the

“I teach graduate students, and I tell them, waves don’t propagate mass, they propagate energy,” Pizzo said. “A wave in general is anything that has a structure that propagates, so it’s a really abstract term. A wave can be a lot of things that you don’t think about as being waves. Basically, everything is a wave, we’re talking right now (and we’re producing) waves, we’re disturbing the air. We’re seeing things, these are light waves. It’s how your ear drum works, too, it’s like a little drum and the waves hit it. There’s plenty of examples. What we say in math is that, any kind of structure that’s coming in that we can follow, is something we call a wave.” He said his favorite ocean wave is “Winky Pop,” a break near Bell’s Beach in Australia, one of the most famous surfing spots in the world and a common stop of the Surf World Tour. “It’s a long right hand point over a reef, and you can almost draw a ruler on how straight the lip line is, and it’s super fun!” he SEE WAVES, A24

middle, which is the wave field. The wave field controls how the atmosphere and the ocean actually interact, which is something we care about a lot because we need to understand the dynamics of what’s happening to those waves, to understand how the atmosphere and ocean are in fact talking to each other.” But blending his two passions

wasn’t always his goal. “I was down in Brazil doing research in kind of technical areas of math, and I was kind of like, ‘I like this, but I’m not super good at this.’ It was kind of hard. So I said, ‘I want to do something a little bit more applied.’ So somebody mentioned, ‘You should check out Scripps (Institution of Oceanography).’ I’d never heard of it. I went online, checked out some of what people were doing here and I was like, ‘This looks fun.’ So I came here and decided that waves would be fun to study, also because of some of the science behind them.” A native of New York, Pizzo first got hooked on surfing while searching for waves in hurricane swells. “And then I kind of just did nothing else for 10 years straight. I took a year off to travel just to surf. I surf here (in La Jolla) every day the waves are good, but it’s not as much of my life as it used to be,” he confessed. Rather than trying to be a pro surfer, Pizzo concentrates on the fun of surfing. Two years ago, he said, he dumped his shortboard to ride a 7-foot 4-inch Christenson. “It’s been so liberating, you just go fast. I’ve ridden that in big Black’s

TO YOUR HEALTH

Finding relief for back pain: Consider your options

ack pain is one of the most common reasons for seeking medical care. Eight out of 10 Americans experience back problems in their lifetime, with complaints ranging from nagging lower back discomfort to pain so debilitating it interferes with work and everyday activities. Several factors may contribute to back pain, including overuse, injuries, arthritis and weak back and abdominal muscles. Simply getting older can be a major factor as well. “As we age, our bodies begin to show signs of wear and tear that can lead to spine problems,” said Neville Alleyne, M.D., a Scripps orthopedic surgeon in North County. “Our spinal discs lose hydration and become stiffer. Because of that, we become less flexible. That loss of flexibility can make it easier for the back to become injured.” Treatments for Back Pain Start with non-invasive treatments first. If back pain is mild, over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen relieve pain and reduce the

inflammation that may be contributing to it. If over-the-counter pain relievers aren’t effective, your physician may recommend a prescription-strength NSAID or muscle relaxer. Many people also find relief through complementary therapies such as massage therapy, chiropractic treatments and acupuncture. Physical therapy is often very helpful in treating pain and preventing future injury. If none of these treatments provides relief, it may be time to consider surgery. Though it should be your last option, it may be the best treatment for specific conditions such as a compressed nerve or slipped disc. If the problem is a damaged disc, artificial disc replacement may be an option. The damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial mechanical disc with the goal of restoring range of motion. Scripps orthopedic surgeons may treat many of these conditions with minimally invasive surgery, which involves one or more small incisions instead of a large incision. Compared to standard open surgeries, minimally invasive

procedures may result in less blood loss, less pain after surgery, and reduced scarring. Recovery time often is faster as well. In addition, Scripps surgeons recently became the first in the West to perform spinal fusion surgery using the Mazor X surgical guidance system, a sophisticated robotic-guided technology. Potential candidates for Mazor X robotic spine surgery include patients with degenerative spine conditions, scoliosis, injury, tumors and more. “Mazor X enables surgeons to be even more precise, consistent and efficient in the operating room,” said Dr. Alleyne. “It opens the door for patients with a variety of spinal issues to benefit from this leading-edge treatment approach.” If you’re having back pain that does not improve with home care, contact your physician and get started on the road to recovery. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Astronaut twins study shows space travel causes premature aging BY WILL BOWEN Those images of a robust Star Trek Captain James T. Kirk beaming around the solar system at maximum warp, or an irreverent Han Solo with his sidekick Chewbacca bustling through space on a quest to save Princess Leia, are sadly, an illusion. The truth of the matter is that humans or any other living thing — be it a plant or a fruit fly from planet Earth — are not meant for space travel. Traveling in space is very hard on creatures, producing physiological effects similar to premature aging. That’s one of the reasons the Stein Institute on Aging at UC San Diego brought NASA affiliate Brinda K. Rana, Ph.D., to speak to a packed audience of mostly older adults at the Garren Auditorium of the UCSD School of Medicine, last week. Rana, who has been the Principle Investigator (PI) on three NASA studies, spoke at length about the effects of space travel on all aspects of the human body — everything from vision to genetics. “Everything I say has to be approved by NASA. I have to be very careful about the data I reveal,” Rana wryly explained. Her chief NASA project was a comprehensive medical study of twin brother astronauts — Scott and Mark Kelly — who spent different lengths of time in space. Since the brothers are genetically identical, researchers thought they could ferret out the effects of time in space on their bodies. Mark had 54 days in space, while Scott spent 365 days living on the space station. Rana headed up a team of scientists from UCSD, one of 10 university-based teams from around the world chosen by NASA to study the astronauts. It was a difficult assignment requiring a great deal of cooperation. For instance, all 10 teams had to share just one vial of blood among themselves from each of the two astronauts. Rana explained that space travel impairs blood and lymph circulation, especially to the lower parts of the body: Your face gets puffy and your legs get weak. “Space travel is like hanging upside down for a long time!” she said. That’s why astronauts have to be helped out of their space capsule when they return to Earth. They can’t stand up on their own because their legs are so weak due to poor circulation. NASA knows that space travel, specifically spending time in zero gravity, is hard. But

Stein Institute on Aging at UCSD hosted a recent lecture by NASA affiliate Dr. Brinda K. Rana, who spoke about the effects of space travel on the human body. since the plan is to send men and women up to Mars, which is a six-month flight one way, it is trying hard to develop ways to counteract the debilitating aspects of space travel so the astronauts can function when they get to the red planet. Luckily, the gravity on Mars is less than it is on Earth, so they should be able to stand up and carry out their activities. Space travel also produces bodily changes you cannot see, affecting the chemistry and physiology of the body. It also affects DNA and RNA. Rana found that while in space, astronaut Scott Kelly had 200,000 differences or mutations in RNA actions, which returned to normal when he came back to Earth. “This just shows that genes are not static, but very sensitive to the environment around us,” Rana said. Space travel also changes the intestinal flora or probiotics in the gut, which aid digestion. There are also cardiovascular changes, muscular atrophy, arteriosclerosis, glaucoma and bone loss. It looks just like the signs of aging! Space travelers also experience increased

cranial pressure. There are changes to the eyes and vision problems develop. This syndrome is known as “VIIP” or Visual Impaired Intracranial Pressure syndrome. Rana is an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD and has a lab at the Stein Institute of Aging. She is an alumna of UCSD with a B.A. in math from Revelle College. She also has an M.S. in math from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas in molecular genetics. At the Stein Institute, her chief duty is to look for the genes that seem to keep some older adults from getting age-related disorders. Rana’s NASA studies are relevant because the results have an application to understanding aging on Earth and in helping people in similar situations to space travel, like those who are bedridden for long periods of time. In one experiment, Rana’s lab studied people who were confined to bed with their body inclined downward toward the head at a 15-degree angle, mimicking the effects of space flight.

Karen Ocorr, Ph.D., was at the lecture because she is also working with NASA. Ocorr is a professor in the Development, Aging and Regeneration Program at the Sanford Burham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute on North Torrey Pines Road. Ocorr studies the ion channels responsible for the relaxation of the human heart, which she says is similar in fruit flies. She just got back a batch of fruit flies that were flown to the space station on the SpaceX CRS-11 mission. She is looking at the effects of zero gravity on their heart function, which can provide models to help understand the human heart. “The fruit flies aren’t doing too well after their space flight,” she confided. Einstein once predicted that if we start to travel faster in space and get closer to the speed of light, which is about as fast as we could ever go, time will slow down. Thus we would age slower (happy thought!) in terms of chronology. But if we are in zero gravity at light-speed our bodies will age faster (unhappy thought!).

Breeders’ Cup ‘Barn at the Beach’ will be site for a week of events The Barn at the Beach will be a unique oceanfront venue providing a dramatic gathering place for attendees from across the globe and local community members to come together for special events celebrating the Breeders’ Cup, the internationally-acclaimed horseracing event coming to Del Mar. The City of Del Mar, the Del Mar Village Association, the Breeders’ Cup Ltd., Breeders’ Cup Host Committee, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and San Diego Tourism Authority collaborated and partnered to make the temporary structure for Festival Week, set for Oct. 28-Nov. 4, a reality. “It is our honor to be the host destination for this prestigious horseracing event,” said Mayor of Del Mar, Terry Sinnott. “We look

forward to welcoming horse racing enthusiasts from around the world and just down the street to this exciting venue for a variety of events that showcase our great seaside village.” The custom 7,000-square-foot tent that will be known as the Barn at the Beach will be constructed at the Powerhouse Park to accommodate up to 600 guests inside and on its oceanfront wrap-around decking. “Bringing the Breeders’ Cup to Del Mar this November has been years in the making and we are thrilled that our World Championships will soon be coming to one of the most desirable resort destinations in all of horseracing,” said Craig Fravel, president and CEO of Breeders’ Cup Ltd. “Our goal is to partner with the local

FROM ONE PASEO, A1 resident said at the meeting in East Bluff’s green overlooking the One Paseo site. “But nobody should’ve waited for complaints.” Residents also requested better communication with the community about lane closures and work hours. According to Kim Elliot, Kilroy’s vice president of development and government affairs and member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, Kilroy had originally proposed doing all off-site work during the day. “We much prefer to work during the day, it’s safer and it’s faster,” Elliott said. However, once the off-site work began and there were lane closures involved on Del Mar Heights Road, the city made the decision to utilize nighttime working hours. Tony Khalil, deputy city engineer with the development services department at the city, said with the One Paseo project they are attempting to balance several issues, one of which being affecting traffic on a road that carries 48,000 average daily trips. “It’s a very busy street,” said Khalil, who knows the traffic patterns well as a 31-year resident of Carmel Valley. The city, Caltrans and San Diego Police Department could not allow Kilroy to close down Del Mar Heights Road for construction during the weekdays due to the impact it would have on traffic, so they had Kilroy modify plans to work at night. However, that night work, permitted from 9 p.m. to 5

We know it’s a nuisance for sure,” Khalil said of the revised work hours which have a downside of prolonging the work. “We’re trying to balance all these issues without impacting everybody and minimizing the nuisance at the same time. So you understand the predicament we’re in.” Elliott said that about 35 days of night work remain, split between Del Mar Heights and El Camino Real. The nighttime construction will be

Imperial Beach (before the sand replenishment) was really good one year, spinning barrels for a whole couple of months. When there’s a swell down in Coronado there are some pretty cool ones down there, it was fun to see those beaches light up like that. Black’s, when it’s big, it’s always pretty epic and terrifying,” he added. But for Pizzo, surf is not only about speed. It’s also about life lessons. “I grew up in the water. I sailed and my older brother is a sailing coach. Being close to the water is pretty important to me. Surfing teaches you pretty explicit lessons all the time — like patience, humility — whether or not you listen to the lessons is probably a different story, but it seems like every time you go out at Black’s Beach when the waves are over 6-feet, you learn something. Even if you didn’t want to learn a lesson that day, you do. It’s a little bit humbling.”

limited from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. and no construction is allowed to begin before 7 a.m. As for the beeping, PAL General Engineering Vice President AJ Jahshan said the back-up mechanisms on trucks are a safety requirement of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Without the beeps, the alternative is to have two flagmen put on the truck when it is in reverse. Jahshan said due to the concerns they have heard, they are aiming to do the noisier construction earlier in the evenings, before 10 p.m. “We feel you guys,” Jahshan said.

FROM RENTALS, A1 came to a head this year. The city council tackled the issue after the city’s planning commission said in February that city code did not provide enough information for them to interpret whether short-term rentals are allowed in residential zones. That sent the issue back to the council on April 17. Four hours of heated testimony boiled down to a 4-1 ruling to interpret 40-year-old city codes to mean — despite a long history to the contrary — that short-term rentals were never allowed in nearly every residential part of the city. When the council ratified that ruling on May 1, Mayor Terry Sinnott demanded that the motion stipulate his opposition, saying that the council’s action lacked data and that the California Coastal Act would compel state officials to intervene. Several of the most vocal rental supporters then

“When we get a phone call from you, we pretend we live on those properties.” “I think you’re making positive strides,” said one resident. “To me, if you continue to be sensitive to how you’re doing it, to the loud noise later in the evening and to contour the work so it is neighborhood-friendly and like you are living in my master bedroom, I think we’re headed in a positive direction.” The remaining off-site work includes closing lanes of Del Mar Heights to continue to connect to utilities and building a new 12-inch

created the Del Mar Alliance for the Preservation of Beach Access and Village and filed suit in San Diego Superior Court. Their June 1 lawsuit claims that the city’s actions violate two state mandates: the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the California Coastal Act. CEQA requires lengthy review whenever a proposal would have a significant environmental impact, including changes to land-use regulations. The Coastal Act requires beach jurisdictions to guarantee access to coastal areas. Throughout the legal proceedings, the city council has continued to hone the rentals framework despite repeated — and increasingly heated — entreaties to reverse course. On July 20, the city responded to the Alliance’s lawsuit. In its response, the city rebuffs the Alliance’s depiction that the policy constitutes a ban, saying

water line along the street. They will also be doing median work on Del Mar Heights Road which involves making an opening in the existing median to install a new signal and left-turn pocket. The median will then be landscaped at the end. With the median, a lane might be shut down for a week with the work done during the day from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. just to get it done as soon as possible, Jahshan said. “We’re hoping to be done with all the off-site work by the end of the year,” Elliott said, noting all of the rest of the on-site work will be completed during the day. The furthest-along construction on the One Paseo site is the retail parking structure. The first tenants of the retail portion plan to be open by first quarter of 2019; residential move-ins could also occur in the first quarter of 2019. “I think you’ll be very happy with the type of tenants that we’re getting. It’s been really high demand so we’ve had the pick of who we want to see there,” Elliott said, noting they have unique eating and retail places and the whole community experience is really coming together from a design standpoint, whether it’s movie nights or harvest markets. “Construction is a temporary thing. Unfortunately, we all have to live through it, it’s not a pleasant thing…we apologize for the inconvenience of construction and hopefully soon we’ll be celebrating the opening down there.” Comments and concerns on One Paseo can be directed to Steven Hadley at SRHadley@sandiego.gov

that they “interpreted existing zoning ordinances.” The response also repeats the city’s position that its actions are not subject to CEQA and the Coastal Act. It further stipulates that the Alliance lacks legal standing and failed to exhaust administrative remedies prior to filing suit. That lawsuit has now led to a new one. Central to the Alliance’s case is a May 4 request for all city communications on STRs — including the emails of every city councilmember — dating back to January 2010. “The reason it’s expansive is because the ban is very broad, very bogus,” said Alliance lawyer Corey Briggs. “They’re basically trying to rewrite history, and we wanted the full history.” On May 15, the city responded that the lone city employee available to handle the request would need 45 days to compile the 3,500 emails and 1,000 pages of other documents.

Those 45 days were up June 29. That day came and went without a response. On July 18, Briggs filed suit under the California Public Records Act. The following day, the city’s attorneys countered that Briggs was reading the law incorrectly and sent him a portion of the documents. They followed up a few days later with the remaining pages. Briggs expects to need several weeks to review the documents. He does not intend to drop the new case now that the city responded; at a minimum, he said he will petition the court for the city to cover attorney fees. “Assuming that they gave us all the documents, we will still ask the judge to rule that they waited too long,” Briggs said. “We have lots of reasons to be distrustful of this particular city. If we have any reason to suspect they have withheld even a single piece of paper, we’re going to press forward. My clients are all done being bullied.”

She believes calming down her nerves before competitions is at least as tough as the physical part of competing. “I feel that because I’m surrounded by my friends, people who’ve been in my life that I feel like I can lean on, that helps, but I definitely do get really, really nervous for competitions, Lytle said. “It’s stressful for sure.” When that doesn’t work, she turns to

FROM BOA, A7 and what we thought.” Zhang said it was very meaningful to meet his fellow student leaders, all from very different backgrounds but all sharing a similar mindset of being passionate about helping their communities. “Being in San Diego, I feel sheltered from a lot of the problems others face and like I’m living in a bubble,” Zhang said. “I found that people from other states have a lot of different problems in their communities that I am not familiar with, things I’ve heard about but never known. To talk to someone who was familiar with those kinds of problems, that was really eye-opening.” For Zhang, one of the most powerful messages he got from the summit was from guest speaker Omerina Cabrera. Cabrera grew up in Bronx, New York, with a single parent, experiencing homelessness three times. She and her twin brother struggled to stay in school and she was on track to drop out until she found a counselor and mentor that changed her life. The mentor cared and encouraged

Together, Bruyneel-Fogelman and Grimes have been working on their vision for SOUL for the last six years. As the opening of SOUL represents a dream come true, it will be hard to keep the two educators out of the classroom. Both hope to take part in teaching life skills or entrepreneurship classes and the plan is for one of them to be in the classroom connecting with students while one is in the office. It has been a long, six-month search to find a place for the school to call home. The San Diego County Board of Education approved the charter school in January for a two-year term and SOUL just signed the lease in Solana Beach on July 17. They had been targeting Encinitas

She recently went to a camp where coaches encouraged swimmers to manage their anxiety by going into “robot mode.” “It’s like, if you feel like you can’t do it, you just have to switch onto this mode where you know what you have to do and you just perform the way you’ve been training,” Lytle said. She’ll have to turn to her human instincts, however, balancing the competing demands of her sport, academics and other endeavors. “It can get quite stressful at times,” Lytle said, “but I feel that because I was brought in at such a young age and I’ve sort of grown up with it, I’ve learned to balance my schedule. “I’m an early riser so I get stuff done in the morning before school and then I come home and I do my homework, but it’ll be different in high school because I’ll have more work.” For more information, visit sdsynchro.org Omerina to pursue a better future, helping her get placed in an elite New England private school. She is now going to George Washington University. Unfortunately, her twin brother did not have the same support — he is now incarcerated, showing how much of a difference it made for someone to encourage and guide her. “It was very inspiring to me because education is something I’ve taken for granted,” Zhang said. “It’s powerful to see she has succeeded.” While Zhang did not apply for a specific major at Columbia, he is interested in chemistry and would like to be on the pre-med track and plans to attend medical school after he graduates. The experience in Washington, D.C. helped him learn a lot more about healthcare and global health in general. When he gets to medical school he is interested in pursuing the field of public health or traveling to third world countries to participate in global health service projects. “I’m interested in using the idea of science and its knowledge to positively change the world,” Zhang said.

They also considered several churches, nearly every church in the district up to Carlsbad. Grimes and Bruyneel-Fogelman said that after visiting the Boys & Girls Clubs and meeting with Andrew Brosche, the chief operating officer, they found a perfect match. “He said, ‘We love kids here’ and we knew, finally, this is a go,” Grimes said. “They’re so excited for us to be there and we really couldn’t be happier.” “It’s such a beautiful partnership because we’re so aligned in our mission to serve youth,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said.

way of their potential for joy.” Authorship for Chammas was a journey in its own right. Writing and drawing have been dear pursuits since as long as she can remember, but she subdued those passions and in favor of her career in mental health and palliative care, content to keep her art a mere hobby. “It’s just taken a lot of life and perspective and growing up to be able to say, ‘No, I want to do this and it’s going to be fun.’” Reaction to her books remains modest — well-reviewed, albeit on a small scale — but she’s focused more on enjoying her new impact on her world. Far more important than anonymous Amazon reviews are the heartfelt notes from colleagues who have put her books out in their waiting rooms, or the friends who have sent pictures of their kids with the book, gushing effusive about their favorite rhymes and drawings. She’s well into the drafts of her next two books, making sure both to enjoy them on their own terms while also not being afraid to dream of a series of books that reaches broad audiences. “I just want to make books and put them out there,” she said. “I had so much fun making these first two, and every time I see a friend’s kid holding the book, it just makes me really happy to have found a way to touch people in a different way. So my goal is to not let it get stagnant, to keep it coming and just see what comes next.” Chammas’ books are available at amazon.com

For more than 50 years, Elda Bell Garner owned and lived on the property. She wrote pilot safety instructions for Convair before turning her attentions fully toward agriculture. She built a grow house on the property and a hothouse for champion orchids. Nicholas bought the first of the parcels more than a decade ago and worked with Garner on the plans until her death at the end of 2011. It is in her memory that the street is being named. “She had very specific ideas for what her land would become,” Nicholas said. “I feel that I am holding very true to what she would’ve liked to have seen. She wanted me to be the one to carry it forward.” Nicholas is trying to evoke a rustic sense of early California that blends into mature olive trees along South Nardo. “The vision is to have this be like the streets of old Solana Beach. I feel a tremendous responsibility to get it right. It’s an important location and it needs to be executed correctly,” he said. “It’s going to be keeping in spirit with the agrarian, quiet, peaceful history of the place. I’ve worked very hard [to ensure] that the history is remembered in this project.” The project coincides with two efforts that would further transform the neighborhood.

garden. The rooms have a maximum capacity for 125 students so the only downfall is that the club won’t work as a long-term location, meaning SOUL is still on the journey toward a permanent home. Once SOUL gets 80 students from the San Dieguito Union High School District, the district is required by Prop 39 to provide classroom space. SOUL will have to petition for the rooms by Nov. 1. “Our long-time goal is to build our own facility, and hopefully that happens sooner rather than later,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said. Enrollment has been guided by word of mouth and SOUL currently has 50 students — SOUL is limited by its petition to the 7th and 9th grades in the first year. The second year SOUL will offer 7-10th grade, 11th grade in the third year and 12th grade in the fourth. By full build-out, they would like to have 100 students per grade. “We feel like it’s a school that will sell itself,” Grimes said. “Once more

people hear about it, I know our enrollment will fill up.” Over the last several weeks they have been holding planning sessions with their “incredible” staff as educators are coming together from all over to be a part of SOUL. They have scored a math teacher who spent several years teaching in Colombia, an English teacher was the “Teacher of the Year” for the state of Arizona and a science teacher taught who has taught in Singapore and Chile and developed curriculum for young adult entrepreneurs in Uganda. The art teacher, Justin Moodie, grew up in the San Dieguito district and attended Earl Warren and Torrey Pines. He began his career teaching at Canyon Crest Academy and Carmel Valley Middle School and is coming to SOUL from the Bay Area where he just earned his administrative services credential from the Principal Leadership Institute at UC Berkeley. SOUL will also be holding a “SOULbration Benefit” on Saturday,

Larna Hartnack is looking to expand her property on the north side of the unnamed road into a Napa Valley-style farm ranch. She is also helping lead a campaign to rouse support to underground the neighborhood’s utility lines. “We’re really excited about it. We think it’s just continued progress in Solana Beach while keeping the old charm,” she said. “All of the newer, younger families here are excited to see things looking better and nicer. I just like to see stuff happening, but at the same time without turning Solana Beach into Newport Beach. Part of what has taken the Ocean Ranch project this long to move forward was resolving the affordable housing component. Under the city’s regulations, the land would’ve needed to be carved into 14 lots in order to make room for affordable housing on site. After talking to the neighbors and hearing feedback, Nicholas scaled the project back to the eight parcels with no on-site affordable units. As such, he will purchase a townhome or condominium somewhere else in Solana Beach, deed-restrict it for 55 years, then hand it over to an affordable housing group to administer. He has to do so before building permits are issued for the fourth of the eight homes. Comments must be made in writing and received by 5 p.m. on July 31. Comments should be addressed to Corey Andrews, principal planner, 635 South Highway 101, Solana Beach, CA 92075 or via e-mail at candrews@cosb.org.

Aug. 5 at the Boys & Girls Clubs Harper Branch in Solana Beach from 6-10 p.m. (address:533 Lomas Santa Fe Solana Beach, 92075). The event will feature live music, food and drinks, a silent auction and a raffle to celebrate the school’s accomplishments and coming school year. Visit bit.ly/2eGj3jP At the benefit, SOUL will also launch its crowdfunding effort “Project 1:Be the SOULution,” which will help raise funds for the school to implement all of its innovative programs. “We’re not just a school, we’re a movement to create a new model of education,” Bruyneel-Fogelman said, noting every dollar counts. “Everyone has $1 to help support the transformation of education. There are so many discussions about education reform and all of the problems. We want to be the solution.” To learn more about SOUL, visit soulcharterschool.org

It’s an extraordinary collection of artists you aren’t going to hear anywhere else and one of the leading summer events in the country.” While she does not have a favorite concert or event to single out, Lancino said she is amazed at the loyal following the chamber (un-conducted) music series has. “There will be some in the audience who save their August evenings to come to all the performances and immerse themselves in

Electrifying Guitars

Book to reveal the secret life of guitar creator Leo Fender

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN There are many people who claim the title “inventor of the electric guitar,” but perhaps the one whose name has percolated the most on the local, national and international level is Leo Fender. Now his wife Phyllis Fender and Randall Bell, the son of one of his employees, are publishing a book to shed some light on the myths that chased the man throughout his life and beyond. “Everybody who was aware of Leo thought of him as this silent man, who all he did was work,” Phyllis began, “which in a way was true, he was a workaholic, but when he married me, he became a husband, a stepfather, a grandfather, a son in law, an uncle … he was surrounded by people. And these people he just loved.” Phyllis said Leo had never been around babies in his life before their partnership started in the late 1970s. “He was astounded at children, and we had such happy time. (During family meetings) he was always talking and laughing, and I wanted the world to know that inside this silent giant, there was a man who appreciated family, dinners, playing and watching the kids swimming in the pool.” Though the book “Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World,” will be released Nov. 1, hardcover copies are available for pre-order at amzn.to/2pyi34i “I can hardly wait to see it on the market,” Phyllis said. Randall’s father worked for Fender, and he grew up close to the guitar creator’s work. “I

Randall Bell and Phyllis Fender grew up with all things Fender, my parents’ kitchen table was made by Stratocaster wood, and my dad introduced me to every person at the factory!” he said. The making of the book happened at a pie shop near where Bell’s parents and the Fenders lived. “I would take out my smartphone and ask Mrs. Fender questions and she kept me fascinated with the answers … I did some research but that’s how the book came together,” he explained. The plot is, essentially, about Leo, Phyllis

‘Leo Fender: The Quiet Giant Heard Around the World’ will be released Nov. 1. said, “Every page has a piece of Leo on it.” Bell elaborated, “It starts with the day he was born, goes to the chronology of how he invented the electric guitar, and it ends with his passing away in the Fender home. There are stories that make you laugh hysterically, others make you cry … he was an interesting guy who

never took himself very seriously.” One of the key stories in Leo’s life is how he designed and built electric guitars that would eventually become the widely used Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster. “At the time he thought about making guitars, he had a radio shop downtown where he repaired anything electrical,” Phyllis said. “This was during World War II when the communities around here had ‘war bond’ dances. Some people asked Leo to put something up with amplifiers so they could have a dance and set it up for the band, which he did. But one time, as he was finishing his work, he decided to sit by the band and listen to them. Watching the band, he observed some guitar players playing like crazy, but he couldn’t hear anything, he couldn’t hear them over the horns, drums and bass. That touched his heart and immediately, the next day, he got a piece of wood out and started designing what would eventually become the Stratocaster and Telecaster.” Bell added, “There were the standard acoustic guitars people were trying to amplify, but it wasn’t working very well. Leo got the idea and put a pickup on a solid body guitar, when you think of guitars today, you think of the solid bodies … this was far more functional than trying to electrify the acoustic guitar.” When asked what Leo might think about the new book, Phyllis replied, “He would be surprised and he would say ‘that’s not about me, none of this has ever been about me, it’s only been about the instruments.’ ”

The Curious Fork gluten-free restaurant and bakery features healthy fare and cooking techniques BY KELLEY CARLSON For people seeking a taste of the gluten-free lifestyle, The Curious Fork can help satisfy that craving. The restaurant and bakery has been promoting healthy fare and cooking techniques to Solana Beach and nearby communities since 2014. “I believe to experience (life), you need to continue to learn and you have to remain curious,” owner Barbara McQuiston said about the philosophy behind the Barbara establishment’s moniker. McQuiston exemplifies that McQuiston idea, as she left a 35-year career in the defense and aerospace industry to explore her passion for food. She attended the San Diego Culinary Institute, interned at L’Auberge in Del Mar, and invested her life savings to start The Curious Fork. Because McQuiston is affected by celiac disease – a digestive and autoimmune disorder – it was natural for her to focus on gluten-free fare and beverages.

She describes her menu as a “unique selection.” Breakfast is served all day in the restaurant, and consists of items such as Chicken and Waffles and the Classic Breakfast – two eggs with chives, hash browns, toasted English muffin and a choice of bacon, ham, chicken sausage or avocado. For lunch, there are soups, salads and sandwiches. Crowd favorites include the Carnitas Cuban Sandwich (slow-cooked pork butt, ham, Swiss, dill pickles, aioli and dijon) and the Turkey Avo Sandwich with tomato, lettuce, provolone, aioli and dijon, both served on baguettes. There’s also a bakery area that houses a range of treats – from pies to quinoa loafs and challa – and customers can order items such as cakes and breads. Baked goods from The Curious Fork are also sold at Seaside Market and Harvest Ranch Markets, and “we hope to be in Jimbo’s very soon,” McQuiston said. She is currently in talks with other grocery chains. Catering is available, as well – patrons can select trays or make reservations for parties in the restaurant. Additionally, people can sign up for farmers market box pickups from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Berry apple pie COURTESY PHOTOS

Cooking classes are held weekday evenings and weekends at The Curious Fork. Fridays. The boxes – from Garden of Eden Organics – contain everything from vegetables and grains to citrus and herbs. “Everything is locally grown and harvested,” McQuiston said. One Thursday a month, she teaches a one-hour class that uses all the ingredients from one of these boxes, and the contents vary – she doesn’t know what she’s working with until the night before or the morning of the class. “It’s very much a surprise class,” she said with a laugh. Those who participate in the Garden of Eden Organics farmers market box pickup can also pick up their box Thursday night at the class. McQuiston and her staff present other cooking classes, as well, and topics range from vegan and seasonal to family offerings. Even children can get in on the action, with themed events such as Cupcake Wars and Harry Potter. “Kids really get into cooking now, which is great,” McQuiston said. “It’s wonderful to see the

kids all excited. I love teaching them different things and showing them how to eat healthy.” The classes average about two hours, held on weekday evenings and weekends, and the cost usually falls between $30 and $60 per class. Some of them are hands-on, and others are demonstrations. “But at all of them, you get to eat and enjoy the food,” McQuiston noted. The class calendar is available at www.thecuriousfork.com/collections/classes. To further aid with food preparation, The Curious Fork sells cookbooks, and there are fair trade items available for purchase that are “fun, artistic and beautiful,” McQuiston touted. Meanwhile, she is making plans for the future, such as the launch of wine tastings and small plates. The Curious Fork – at 512 Via de la Valle, Suite 102, in Solana Beach – is open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Del Mar Opening Day Hats Contest The 23rd annual Opening Day Hats Contest at Del Mar, presented by Valenti International, drew more than 300 contestants. Categories included Most Glamorous, Best Fascinator, Best Flowers, Best Race Track Theme and Most Outrageous. Contestants competed for more than $5,000 in cash and prizes, according to a press release. (See event photos, page B10.) The Grand Prize winner was Christina Stutz of San Diego who competed in the Most Outrageous category. Christina won a Fairmont Grand Del Mar one-night stay and dinner for two at Addison Restaurant, featuring Chef William Bradley’s multi-course tasting menu with wine pairings valued at $1,000. She also received $300 cash and a Studio Savvy gift basket valued at $250. Stutz delighted Del Mar race fans with a grand scale presentation topped with an elegant life-sized horse enthusiast in a lovely hat of her own. The race fan topper carried an authentic 1948 vintage Del Mar Racing

Program with betting slips. Stutz, whose hat took two months on-and-off to design, told the story about her father attending Opening Day in 1948 and was the inspiration for her clever take on the Del Mar scene.

Denmark’s ‘Queen of Crime’ author includes San Diego in her upcoming novel BY LOIS ALTER MARK he’s known as Denmark’s “Queen of Crime,” but author Sara Blaedel is likely to expand her reign locally with the upcoming American release of her entire Inspector Louise Rick catalog along with a brand new trilogy set in the United States. In fact, in “The Running Girl,” which will be published in January, Louise’s best friend, journalist Camilla Lind, drives down to San Diego in a scene inspired by Blaedel’s own experience. “I did a three-month road trip in the U.S. with my son back in 2008,” she explained. “We ended the tour in San Diego on the night President Obama was elected. So many people included us in their happiness and celebration, and I totally fell in love with the city.” Blaedel stayed downtown in the Gaslamp, where she spent a lot of time walking around, exploring and taking notes for possible future books. “The feeling there reminded me of the old part of Copenhagen,” she remembered. “It was so cozy, and I have tons of great memories from our stay. When we left, I had a strong feeling that I wanted to come back.” While she plans a book tour that she hopes will bring her back to San Diego and give her a chance to walk along the beach in Del Mar, many of her local readers are considering trips to Denmark to see why the Danish people are considered the happiest people in the world and to walk in the footsteps of Inspector Louise Rick. “Louise lives in my old apartment on Frederiksberg in Copenhagen,” said Blaedel. “I moved out a couple of years before I started writing the first book, and I handed it over to her. She lives on the fifth floor, and I know exactly how it feels for her to carry up all her grocery bags,

It really brings her to life for me because I am totally with her.” Fans can see Louise’s apartment from the street while they tour her neighborhood, stopping at the small shops and cafes for a kringle, a delicious Danish pastry, or a signature open-faced sandwich called smorrebrod. They can also easily check out the “dark side” of Copenhagen, which is featured in Blaedel’s book “The Night Woman.” “It’s actually only a few streets in the part of town named Vesterbro and it’s not scary at all,” she said. “It used to be known for prostitution and drug dealers but it’s now one of the hippest areas. I find the mix of people fascinating.” Blaedel also recommends a

drive to Roskilde, a beautiful old town where many royals are buried and where “The Killing Forest” and “The Stolen Angel” are set. But to really get a sense of “hygge,” the philosophy of coziness by which the Danish live their lives and which has recently become a trendy goal for Americans, you have to follow in the footsteps of the author herself. According to Blaedel, that means heading to Hornbaek, the small fishing village where she has her summer house. That’s where she writes her books and gathers for intimate dinners with friends. Although most visitors spend their vacation in Copenhagen, seeing traditional sights like Tivoli Gardens, the canal along

Nyhavn and the Little Mermaid statue, Blaedel recommends also making time to get out of the city and explore other parts of Denmark. One of her favorite places is Falsled Kro, a luxury country retreat on Fyn. She’s been going there since she was a little girl, and it’s the epitome of hygge. “When you drive on Fyn, it feels like you’ve turned back time,” she said. “It’s so beautiful and unspoiled, and I love the landscape and the views over the water.” She also suggests a stay at Kurhotel Skodsborg, the leading Nordic hotel spa, where the focus is on wellness and pampering. This world class spa features more than a dozen different cooling and warming experiences, including the classic SaunaGus –

aromatherapy in the sauna followed by a brisk dip in the ocean. The SaunaGus is a staple for Blaedel, even in the winter. She then wraps herself in a blanket and makes herself at home by the fireplace in the living room-like library which bears her name. “I was so honored when they named the room after me!” she said. “I always look forward to giving readings in that room. It’s very comforting to be surrounded by all that warmth when I’m telling dark stories.” Blaedel also suggests driving all the way up north to Skagen, an artist’s paradise where the sun shines for more hours a day than anywhere in the country. “It’s a five-hour drive from Copenhagen, and that is almost what it takes to cross all of Denmark,” she said. “But it’s definitely worth it. “And,” she adds, “if you have time, drive to Jylland. There are so many wonderful places to see like Aarhus and the west coast. Oh, and sail to Bornholm, a small island located between Denmark and Sweden. It’s totally different from the rest of the country, and it’s a must-see.” Although Blaedel still returns to her summer house frequently, she now lives in New York City. Her first book set in the United States, “The Undertaker’s Daughter,” takes place in Racine, Wisconsin, which has a large population of Danish immigrants. “I am always interested in seeing America through a Danish woman’s eyes,” said Blaedel, who won The Golden Laurel, Denmark’s most prestigious literary prize. “I’ve been on several book tours across the country and I like to imagine what it would feel like for me to settle in different cities.” Maybe San Diego will be next.

Cameo Dress Boutique opens in Carmel Valley, specializes in social occasions BY KAREN BILLING With her newly opened Cameo Dress Boutique, Carmel Valley resident Rachel Justice-Crowder wants to make sure that every woman feels confident and looks their best in what they are wearing at every social occasion. The new concept store in Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel offers dresses and gowns for all social and special occasions for children, teens and women, anything from first communion and flower girl dresses to prom, wedding dresses and mother of the bride looks. “We’ve been really busy,” said Justice-Crowder of the boutique that celebrated its grand opening on July 19. “We’ve done some good business, even with plastic still on the windows.” Once the plastic came down and window decals and displays went up, she said women came in to check out her fun and stylish hat selection for Opening Day at the Del Mar Racetrack and ending up leaving with a whole new ensemble. Cameo had its official opening day the same day as the racetrack last week and right at 10 a.m. there were ladies in line ready to come in. The first 50 shoppers received a swag bag and later in the evening, Justice-Crowder, staff and guests toasted the new store with champagne. In addition to dresses, Cameo offers a full look from head to toe with jewelry, handbags, hair accessories and shoes. For those not in the mood for a dress, the boutique also carries dressy separates — such as a full line of Frank Lyman Basics tops, jackets, pants and ponchos. A San Diego native, Justice-Crowder recently moved back a year ago after living in Portland, Maine. She got into retail seeking a change from her stressful career in the healthcare information technology field where she did sales, marketing and business development. She purchased a boutique called Tavecchia and owned it for a year until her husband was transferred to San Diego.

Dresses line the rack at Cameo Dress Boutique in Piazza Carmel.

Once in Carmel Valley, she was focused mainly on getting her daughter settled into kindergarten at Ashley Falls Elementary School, but she still was interested in owning her own business again. She looked at several locations before seeing the store closing sign on the window at Ronda’s Closet in Piazza Carmel shopping center. After meeting with Ronda Chowaiki, who was closing the store after 13 years, she made multiple calls and, through the luck of the draw, got her chance to take over the space when another tenant dropped out. Her business plan was all set and she took over on May 1. Justice-Crowder gave the store a complete cosmetic makeover with new paint, carpet, sparkling chandelier light fixtures and a third, ADA-accessible dressing room. The bright white store allows the colors of the dresses to really pop and be the artwork of the boutique. “You’ll see a lot of singles. One dress, one color, one size,” Justice-Crowder said, noting a lot of the labels can only be found in small boutiques, cutting down on the chance that

you’ll show up to an event with a woman wearing the same number. The jewelry is all “kind to skin,” and each piece has a unique story behind it. She carries Firefly, handmade in Guatemala with Austrian crystals and Czech glass beads that Justice-Crowder can only purchase four times a year, as well as unique collector pieces from Ayala Bar, an Israeli jewelry artist. The shoes and purses are all Adrianna Pappell, a brand well-known in Macy’s and Nordstrom that makes a separate line to sell to small boutiques like Cameo. “Everything has to pass a quality test to be in here,” Justice-Crowder said. Justice-Crowder said her store will also cater to women who fall into the “hate to shop”

crowd — she and her staff are all about service and will spend time putting a whole look together for the client. She wants all of her customers to find a dress that most flatters their frame and fits their personality best —she wants everyone to feel confident in what they buy. “You’ll get a dose of honesty in here,” said Justice-Crowder. “I won’t let you leave here unless you love what you have.” Cameo Dress Boutique is located at 3860 Valley Centre Drive, Carmel Valley in Piazza Carmel, near the Vons. For more information, visit cameodressboutique.com. Cameo Dress Boutique is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Phone: 858-280-7040.

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneﬁcial to ﬁtness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins. Sometimes, high blood pressure can

develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins. Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood ﬂow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins.The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective. Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same applies for low-impact jogging. However, a

high-impact run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood ﬂow. That gut feeling Blood ﬂowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen. The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving circulation. Low-impact

Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at www.lajollalight.com/our-columns/

yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, lowimpact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be life-threatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short ofﬁce visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

Encinitas signs off on conservatory project at Botanic Garden The Dickinson Family Education Conservatory project at San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas has taken a huge step forward. Final permitting was recently obtained by the Garden from the City of Encinitas for the 8,232-square-foot facility set in the

nationally-acclaimed Hamilton Children’s Garden. Now that permitting has been granted, it paves the way for the greenhouse-like structure designed by Deforche/Green House Works to be erected. This unique building, that is being created

and shipped overseas from Belgium, is scheduled to be delivered to the Garden this September. Among the unique plants being acquired for the Conservatory are two species of Anthuriums considered to be royalty of the plant kingdom and often referred to as the

King and Queen of this family of plants that are emblematic of the tropical forest canopy. The Garden expects to receive several specimens of both the King and Queen Anthuriums along with eight other species of rare plants cultivated and shipped from Ecuador later this month.

PET OF THE WEEK

GRACIE,

a 4-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix, is ready for a loving home. She’s playful, active and just a tad bit opinionated. She loves to run around and show her silly side, but isn’t always a fan of being picked up so her new family should do their best to respect her wishes. Gracie’s favorite toys are mice and string, and she would love a new family who can take their time to get to know her and show her all the love she’s been missing. Gracie is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

FROM GARCIA, B9 1957. He started Robert’s Upholstery at the corner of Imperial Avenue and 47th Street in San Diego and worked independently for many years building custom furniture. Leonard said his father was adamant that all of his children, seven boys and three girls, learn upholstery and furniture building as it was a great trade to fall back on. Leonard took it the most to heart. “I pretty much came to the conclusion that if I was going to do this, I was going to be the best. That has been my motivation all these years,” Garcia said. Garcia took over as the owner of the business in 1980, continuing his father’s legacy. “He was my mentor,” Garcia said. Robert had taught Leonard the “old school” method of building high-quality furniture, using hard wood alder frames and doing spring work using eight-way, hand-tied coil spring construction. “Something you find in the most expensive furniture store.” Garcia also does down-wrapped cushions or foam-core cushions; customers get to pick their level of cushion from firm to soft but Garcia said no matter what they pick it is guaranteed to be “superior seating.” Garcia continues to teach his children so they can continue on in the trade and his is

still a true family business. His wife, Pat, co-owns the business and specializes in sewing; his son, Leonard Jr., can often be found building furniture in the workshop; and as his son, Michael, has a degree in business, he has designs on developing their own furniture line someday in the future. His daughter, Norma, is the friendly face at the front desk — Garcia says she is a natural at helping customers with color and fabric selections, with her very “soothing and effective” voice. “Any idea that a customer has, we can produce them, from the simplest project to a more complex, complete family room set that will give comfort and beauty for years to come,” Garcia said. “I want them to be heirloom pieces. My goal is to build furniture so well that it will be around for a long time, something families can pass down to their children. That’s the way we build furniture.” This summer, Garcia is offering 20 percent off of Sunbrella, Robert Allen and Duralee fabrics. Garcia Furniture Designs is located at 4178 Sorrento Boulevard, #B, San Diego, 92121.

HOME OF HOME OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

The current market is seeing ideal conditions for sellers, including high prices, low interest rates, lower inventory and multiple offers on desirable properties that often help pull in more than asking price. There is no indication that the new high sales and average prices in San Diego beach communities are due to seasonal factors, rather values are climbing because of tight supply and high buyer demand for coastal living. Homeowners and sellers should be pleased to know that year-over-year average sale prices from June 2016 to June 2017 increased in the double digits in many communities, including Carlsbad (92008), Solana Beach (92075), Oceanside (92056) and Encinitas (92024), according to MLS data. As long as San Diego coastal communities continue to see limited inventories and high demand of buyers seeking the area’s famous lifestyle, it’s likely that even current record real estate values will increase in the near future. It’s an opportune time for motivated sellers who want to put their home on the market, particularly those who have been waiting years for a rebound. All markers in the industry have aligned making the current real estate market one that sellers can be confident in.
