BY KAREN BILLING The city of San Diego will soon go out to bid on the San Diego Polo Club property. The request for proposals for the 80-acre parcel was scheduled to go out when the polo club’s original 26-year lease expired in 2012, but the city has faced numerous delays. “We’re definitely interested in bidding; we don’t intend on going anywhere else,� said Nour-Dean Anakar, vice president of the San Diego Polo Club.

Heidi Farst, from the city real estate assets department, came to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s May 28 meeting to hear the planning board’s concerns for respondents of the request for proposals (RFP).

The board reiterated its input from February 2012, urging responsible use of the land because of its closeness to sensitive and protected habitats of the San Dieguito River Valley and also favoring recreational uses such as soccer being able to continue.

Farst said she hopes the RFP will be released in the next 30 days. Once reSee POLO, page 20

the district in September 2010, allowing hotel operators to charge guests a 1 percent fee that’s used to attract more visitors to the city.

Five years later, the tourism district is set to automatically expire at the end of September.

A representative from each of Del Mar’s hotels, motels and inns — Del Mar Inn/Clarion, Del Mar Motel on the Beach, Hotel Indigo, L’Auberge Del Mar, Les Artistes Inn and Secret Garden Inn — make up Visit Del Mar, the nonprofit created by the district to manage the assessments. Visit Del Mar was incorporated in 2010 and received tax-ex-

empt status in March 2011.

General managers of five of the hotels, as well as L’Auberge Del Mar’s director of sales and marketing, sit on the board. The board meets monthly at one of the hotels. “One of the things we feel is most important about this organization is the value of cooperation with the hotels of Del Mar — work-

Solana Beach council checks city’s progress on energy-saving roadmap

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach City Council recently got a closer look at how the city is working toward sustainability when staff presented Solana Beach’s Energy Roadmap during the June 10 meeting.

The roadmap, which identifies ways to save energy in government operations and in the community, stems from 2008, when Solana Beach was selected as one of only three cities to participate in the Sustainable Region pilot program through SANDAG. “The city was picked largely because it demonstrated the willingness and ability to implement energy efficienSee ENERGY, page 21

Woman found dead in Carmel Valley home; suspect arrested Police discovered the body of a 73-year-old woman in her Carmel Valley home on June 16. The woman had been killed, according to a police report.

San Diego Police officers and paramedics responded at 10:25 p.m. Tuesday, June 16, to a residence in the 3700 block of Carmel View Road regarding a “check the welfare� call. The

reporting party felt an elderly female was in need of help, the police report said.

When officers arrived, they received no response at the front door, but heard a woman talking and a dog barking from inside. Because of the nature of the call, the officers opened the front door and found a 51-yearold woman standing in the front living room. She di-

rected the officers to the body of a deceased 73-yearold woman inside the residence. The victim had sustained trauma to her upper body.

Based on the preliminary investigation, Lara Epstein, 51, of San Diego was arrested in connection with the death of the female victim, according to the police report. Epstein was booked

into the Las Colinas Detention Facility.

The victim’s identity is known but will not be released until family notifications have been made.

Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to call the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477. – Police report

Perkins steps down from SD County Board Roberts’ aide sues two former staffers of Education due to health reasons • Applications now being accepted to fill District 5 board seat

BY KAREN BILLING Former Del Mar Union School District trustee Doug Perkins has resigned from his position on the San Diego County Board of Education, after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke in February. Perkins’ resignation was effective June 8.

According to the Caring Bridge website maintained by his wife, Carolyn, Perkins continues to make progress in his recovery.

“In light of his situation, I made the decision to resign him from the County Board of Education. It was a sad moment for me as I recalled his campaign, the wonderful support he received and for the miraculous win,” wrote Carolyn on the website. “I will always remember being downtown on election night, watching the results and being in disbelief that he was ahead!”

Perkins served on the Del Mar Union School District board for seven years before being elected to the county board.

“Doug was elected to the board because of his commitment to the education of students,” said County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Randolph E. Ward in a press release. “Now is the time for him to concentrate on his health and well-being.”

At its meeting on June 10, the County Board of Education established a timeline and procedures for filling the District 5 board seat vacated by Perkins. The appointee will hold office until January 2017. A successor will be elected in 2016 to complete the term ending January 2019.

To apply for the appointment or to download an application for the vacancy, visit www.sdcoe.net/Board/Pages/board-vacancies.aspx, or request an application by calling 858-292-3515 or emailing kbowers@sdcoe.net. Applications must be submitted no later than noon July 1.

The board is expected to interview all eligible candidates, make the appointment, and swear in the new board member at its regular meeting on July 8.

New details released on body found in April in CV canyon

BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego County Medical Examiner has released information on a body found in a Carmel Valley canyon on April 16, ruled to have been a suicide.

According to the medical examiner, the deceased was a single 27-year-old Ukrainian female who lived in Carmel Valley. On April 16, two 11-year-old boys were riding their bikes along Carmel Knolls Drive and Sanddollar Court and decided to walk up the drainage channel on the hillside. Approximately halfway up the hill, one of the boys came across the woman’s body. A revolver was in her right hand.

One of the boys’ aunts lived nearby and the boys went to tell her what they had found.

A 911 call was placed and officers arrived on the scene. The woman’s death was confirmed without medical intervention because of obvious signs of decomposition.

The woman’s family said she had a history of mental illness and that they had not seen her since late February.

Bob & Kathy Angello

BY JOSHUA STEWART, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN County Supervisor Dave Roberts’ driver and assistant, Harold Meza, has sued two of his former co-workers, contending that they created a hostile work environment.

Meza filed a lawsuit against Roberts’ former chief of staff, Glynnis Vaughan, and his former scheduler, Diane Porter, claiming that when the duo were employed by the county they conspired to “spread despicable rumors in the workplace.”

The suit, filed June 10, said the pair spread information “to the effect that Meza was nothing but a ‘barista’ and a ‘young male driver’ having an affair with Supervisor Roberts, and that Meza was generally unfit for his position.”

He’s seeking an unspecified amount for general and special damages, punitive damages, attorney and court fees and other relief.

The county and Roberts were not named as defendants.

Vaughan and Porter, in earlier formal complaints to the county, accused Roberts of having an inappropriate relationship with Meza. But they did not say the relationship between the two men was sexual; rather, they claimed that Meza had a favored status that was disruptive across the office.

On June 11, Meza met with the media for the first time since three women resigned from Roberts’ office in April, setting off a scandal that has hounded the first-term supervisor. Meza read prepared remarks outside the downtown courthouse and denied any sort of inappropriate relationship with Roberts.

Meza’s attorney, Dan Gilleon, said that Porter and Vaughan’s remarks about the relationship between Meza and Roberts, as well as a comment Porter made about a marital problem, created a hostile work environment for his client.

“Those are all related to sexual orienta-

tion or gender,” Gilleon said.

Gilleon initially said that his client’s decision to file the lawsuit wasn’t related to legal claims Porter and Vaughan filed with the county. Later, Gilleon said that the claims were a factor in his client’s decision.

“It wasn’t until all this nonsense erupted that he decided to pursue his rights,” Gilleon said.

Chris Morris, Porter’s attorney, said that since the accusations relate to his client’s work as a county employee, the county’s lawyers should be responsible for her defense. He said he will soon request that the county represent her in the Meza case.

Vaughan’s attorney, Lynne Lasry, was not in her office and did not respond to a request for comment sent by email.

The county said it will consider requests to represent the women.

“This is a very complex situation and getting more complicated every day. We will evaluate any request we get, when we get it,” county spokesman Michael Workman said.

In the lawsuit, Meza says that he and Porter were on friendly terms until her husband, a sailor in the Navy, returned from deployment. Other documents show he came home during the last week of February.

After the homecoming, Porter’s demeanor changed, the lawsuit said. She became “short-tempered” and at one point made a “vivid, obscene comment to Meza related to intimate marital problems she was experiencing” that offended Meza.

After that, he tried to avoid Porter, but he said Porter teamed up with Vaughan to wage an intraoffice war against him.

The lawsuit says they harassed him, entered his office without permission just to hide his personal property, and told him that nobody knew what he did at work. They said he “smelled bad,” was “socially awkward” and was a “teacher’s pet.”

DM City Council unanimously OKs concept design for city hall/town hall complex • Option combines concepts, community feedback to accommodate ‘all the goals the city set,’ says designer

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Marking a major milestone in the design process, the Del Mar City Council on June 15 unanimously selected a concept design for the city’s new civic center.

After feedback from the council and the community during a recent workshop, The Miller Hull Partnership, LLC, unveiled two hybrid concepts for the complex, one of which received overwhelming support.

The design team introduced three ideas at the June 1 public workshop. Each one included a 3,200-square-foot multipurpose town hall that allows a range of functions, a 9,250-square-foot city hall for administrative services, a 15,000-square-foot plaza for community activities, 11,000 to 20,000 square feet of expandable space, and 160 parking spaces.

“We really think that with this beautiful site, if we strategically place these program elements on this site, that all the goals the city set could be met without significant compromises,” said Mike Jobes, principal with The Miller Hull Partnership.

The new civic center will be built on the site of the city’s facilities, 1050 Camino del Mar. Nestled between the village of Del Mar and Shores Park, the site features an upper and lower terrace. It slopes up as it goes south and down as it goes west.

All three of the team’s initial concepts featured an underground parking structure over one-third of the site, with 50 surface spaces and 55 stalls on each of the two lower levels.

Concept A featured the plaza on the upper terrace along Camino del Mar, with the town hall and city hall connected on the lower terrace over the parking structure. The concept offered about 16,000 square feet of future expandable space.

Recapping the feedback, Jobes said workshop attendees liked that the plaza would be visible from Camino del Mar so community events such as the farmers market would have increased visibility. The scheme would also work best for future expansion, the shared lobby would provide good overflow space for meetings, and the layout would offer wind-protected outdoor space.

Community members, however, said that having all the buildings on one terrace created a “wall” that would block ocean views. They also said that the plaza was too large and that the concept lacked a “civic presence” along Camino del Mar because there would be no building on the upper terrace. Last, some said the location of the town hall would pose privacy issues for residents in the adjacent neighborhood.

Concept B featured the plaza on the upper terrace, with the town hall in the southeast corner. City hall would be on the lower terrace over the parking structure. The concept offered about 16,550 square feet of future expandable space.

Workshop attendees, Jobes said, liked that the town hall location would create a civic

Solana Beach Fund awards $15K in grants The Solana Beach Fund, a part of Coastal Community Foundation of North County, recently awarded $15,000 to three local charitable organizations.

One of the recipients is PEP!, a pilot program that will help low-income preschoolers gain critical pre-kindergarten skills. The program is being conducted through Casa de Amistad, working with the Solana Beach School District, Head Start, and the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church.

Another recipient is the Youth Summer Leadership Camp sponsored by La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation. Approximately 60 “at risk” teen boys and girls will spend time at the Whispering Winds Conference Center in the mountains near Julian. There they will enjoy outdoor activities and learn from presentations led by MiraCosta College and San Diego County Office of Education Staff, and also by staff from MADD and San

Diego Alliance for a Drug Free life.

The Trauma Intervention Program (TIP) will use its grant to provide public health services to Solana Beach residents. Volunteers will guide individuals to begin the grieving and healing process after a crisis.

This reduces the possibility of severe posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and improves mental health.

The funds for these grants come from individuals who believe in the power of philanthropy to strengthen their community and who wish to donate to programs vetted by a committee of interested citizens, said Laura Fleming, chairwoman of the fund’s grant committee.

The Solana Beach Fund is a fund of Coastal Community Foundation, a nonprofit serving the North Coast for more than 25 years. Visit www.coastalfoundation.org.

presence along Camino del Mar and that the city hall location would serve as an acoustical buffer for the neighbors. The scheme also offered wind-protected outdoor space.

Community members noted, however, that the town hall location could reduce future expandable space along Camino del Mar. It also did not feature a shared lobby between city hall and town hall. And it did not offer enough public views.

Finally, Concept C featured the plaza in the center of the site, with city hall and the town hall flanking it. The town hall would be on the northern side of the lower terrace, with city hall on the southern side of both terraces along 10th Street. The concept offered about 13,400 square feet of future expandable space.

Workshop attendees thought that Concept C offered the best public views, Jobes said.

But community members did not like the location of city hall or the fact that city hall and the town hall would not have a shared lobby. The layout also does not feature a windbreak for the outdoor space or an acoustical buffer for the neighbors.

Taking the input into account, the design team developed two hybrid concepts.

Similar to Concept A, Concept D features the plaza on the upper terrace along Camino del Mar, with the town hall and city hall connected on the lower terrace over the parking structure. City hall was made wider and shorter, however, so the town hall could be moved further south, opening up more public views. The plaza was also divided with breaks in the open space. The concept offers about 11,700 square feet of future expandable space.

While the concept meets most of the community’s needs, Jobes noted it still does not offer much of a public view or a civic beacon along Camino del Mar. It would also have trouble meeting the height limit and structural requirements for an emergency operations center, which will be located at city hall.

Similar to Concept B, Concept E features the plaza on the upper terrace, with the town hall in the southeast corner. City hall would be on the lower terrace. The buildings were moved further south, however, which opened a large public viewing platform in the property’s northwest corner. There would also be a courtyard in the site’s southwest corner. Like D, E also offers about 11,700 square feet of future expandable space.

Although most similar to Concept B, Jobes said Concept E truly was a hybrid of all the concepts and community feedback. And because the concept offered a civic presence in both directions of Camino del Mar, Jobes and his team recommended Concept E. “In short, we think this one meets all the criteria quite easily,” he said. “It works on all those levels and we think sets up the best architectural potential moving forward.”

Taking a closer look at Concept E, the team introduced a more detailed design of the town hall, which had a 1,500-square-foot main hall with support space, an 800-square-foot

Author describes journey from rejecting to embracing heritage in ‘I’m Not Chinese’

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After years of trying to forget his past, Raymond Wong was forced to face his heritage when he visited his homeland. The longtime San Diegan shares his story in his book, “I’m Not Chinese: The Journey From Resentment to Reverence.� “I pushed away my culture, I pushed away my language, I pushed away really anything that was Chinese,� explained 52-year-old Wong. “For much of my life, I didn’t want to be Chinese.�

Born in Hong Kong, Wong was 5 years old when he and his mother immigrated to the United States.

In 1996, when Wong was 33, he visited his native country for the first time since he came to the U.S. He met his father and extended family members during the trip. “I basically met a father I had no contact with since we moved here,� Wong said, noting that he and his father had never talked on the phone or exchanged letters.

Because his father spoke Cantonese and Wong only spoke English, they commu-

nicated through his mother.

The experience inspired Wong to write his memoir, an endeavor he began 19 years ago, shortly after he returned from the three-week trip. “The most challenging part was seeing the people and a country that I really had pushed away my entire life,� he said. “I really didn’t want to have anything to do with being Chinese or Asian. Being on that trip, there was no way around it.

It was absolute culture shock for me. “It really made an impact on me. It really made me realize how much I had lost.�

What started as an autobiographical novel transformed into a memoir. It took Wong about a year to finish the first draft and another four to five years for revisions. “There were a lot of rejections along the way, but I kept trying to make it better,� he said.

Eventually, Baltimorebased Apprentice House picked up the book, which was published in October 2014.

“I’m Not Chinese: The Journey From Resentment to Reverence� by Raymond Wong.

Wong’s memoir gives an inside look at the pain of being an outsider in America. He discusses the struggles of cultural alienation and his personal journey to embrace his identity through writing. “Being Chinese and speaking Chinese made me different,� he recalled. “I didn’t want to be different.�

Wong’s mother remarried when he was about 6 or 7 years old. His stepfather was Caucasian. They later

Raymond Wong with his children, Kristie and Kevin.

Courtesy photo had two children.

Wong was about 12 when the family relocated to San Diego, where his stepfather, who was in the Navy, was stationed. “There was no reason for me to speak Chinese,� Wong said. “There was no reason to keep that tie. I wanted to speak English and I wanted to fit in, so that’s what I did.�

Since his initial trip, Wong has returned to Hong Kong twice — after he married his wife, Quyen, in 2008 and after his father died in 2010. He has kept in touch with his family through his mother.

Most of all, he has embraced his heritage. “I used to say I was British because Hong Kong, at that time, was under English rule,� he said. “Since that trip, I have learned to say that I am Chinese, and I have come to embrace a part of my heritage, a part of my culture, even a part of my language.�

Wong has taken Mandarin Chinese classes. He has also

encouraged his two children to know their heritage.

His daughter, Kristie, 11, studies Mandarin Chinese at her elementary school. His son, Kevin, 14, has studied Chinese and has recently started studying Vietnamese at a Saturday school. “My hope is that they will embrace their languages and their cultures — that it will be a part of them,� said Wong, who lives in Rancho San Diego and works as a counselor at San Diego City College.

Wong also hopes that readers will connect with his journey. “If there’s a reader who’s felt like an outsider, maybe they’ll connect with it and not feel like they are so alone in this world,� he said.

Salk research delves into reversing the aging process, cell by cell

BY DIANE Y. WELCH A rapt audience hung on to every word that Dr. Jan Karlseder spoke during his lecture, “Keep Tabs on Your Telomeres: The Role of Chromosome Ends in Aging and Disease.”

Karlseder is an award-winning professor of molecular and cellular biology at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, holding the Donald and Darlene Shiley Chair. He spoke June 8 at the Del Mar Powerhouse, sponsored by the Del Mar Foundation and filmed by Del Mar TV. He received his Ph.D. from the Institute for Molecular Biology in Austria and completed post-doctorate degrees at the Center for Applied Genetics (Austria) and Rockefeller University.

Karlseder’s laboratory studies the functions of the telomeres at the end of linear chromosomes. His evening presentation, enhanced with graphic images, gave a clear understanding of how telomeres affect aging.

Every mammalian cell has a nucleus that contains chromosomes with DNA. Through colorful magnified images of stained cells, Karlseder showed that the tips of chromosomes — telomeres — get shorter with age, a major driver of cellular aging. “We are trying to understand why this happens, and our purpose is to extend the health span,” he explained.

Health span is the period of life, until about 40 or 50 years old, when a person is not suffering from disease. “Our goal is to push that out to age 75 so that everybody may live healthily to that point, which will make a huge impact on life and also on the financial status of services like Social Security,” said Karlseder.

With cellular aging come age-associated diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, cancer and more, which are problems for huDr. Jan man well-being as well as being a financial burden, with 80 percent of Karlseder health care dollars being spent in the last five to 10 years of life, said Karlseder.

“The big question my lab is asking is, ‘What controls aging cells, what is the clock that measures it and what is the connection between this clock and age-onset diseases?’”

Cells divide only a certain number of times, then they expire. Controlling this process are telomeres — segments of DNA — located at the end of chromosomes.

Every time a cell divides, the telomere gets smaller until it is too short to function. Unable to protect the end of the chromosome, genetic material is eaten away, which correlates to aging.

Karlseder gave three examples of research from his lab to illustrate the importance of examining the aging cell.

First, researchers looked at genome instability. Examining cells from people with Werner’s syndrome — a disease that causes accelerated aging — it was evident that some of the chromosomes did not have telomeres, some were missing and some were disorganized.

In the lab, using tissue cultures from Werner’s syndrome patients, this genome instability was suppressed by activating the enzyme telomerase, and the cells grew normally.

“This is relevant because everything that happens in these people also happens to us, just not as accelerated,” The image shows two human cells where the chromosomes have been stained in blue and the telomeres in Karlseder explained.

Second, researchers ex- green. When cells age, the telomeres erode and lose amined the hereditary mate- their protective properties, indicated by the red staining rial held in the DNA, which of some chromosome ends. Photo from Salk Institute of must be well-organized to fit Biological Studies inside the cell. This is accomplished by proteins called histones that wrap around the DNA molecules in a specific way.

“We looked at old cells to see if the same amount of histones were present as in a young cell, and it was clear that fewer histones were visible in the old cell,” said Karlseder.

An experiment was devised to take an old cell and force it to have the same amount of histones as a young cell. Consequently, it became indistinguishable from the young cell.

“Here we can reverse the effect of aging without making the cell immortal. This is precisely the idea of elevating the health span ... at least in tissue culture, this is possible,” said Karlseder.

Third, researchers aimed to answer the basic question, “What is aging?”

“If I asked 10 people in this room what is aging to them, I’ll get 10 different answers,” See SALK, page 8

San Dieguito River Park pact renewed Del Mar Heights Elementary thirdBY DAVID GARRICK, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN Plans for a 55-mile hiking and bicycling oasis between Del Mar and Julian got a boost on Tuesday, June 16, when the San Diego City Council approved a new 50-year agreement to continue jointly funding the project with the county and four North County cities.

The agreement comes after San Diego officials had threatened to stop participating in the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, which was originally formed in 1989.

Since then, 34 of the park’s planned 55 miles have been acquired and preserved.

The pact includes a long list of policy changes requested by San Diego, primarily related to control over the park’s financial decisions. The other cities involved are Escondido, Poway, Solana Beach and Del Mar. Tuesday’s approval was hailed as a key step forward by city and river park officials.

“This important action will allow for continuing the completion of the 55-mile ‘coast to crest’ trail,” said Mark Ochenduszko, interim director of the JPA. “We are pleased that all the member agencies were able to agree to a new 50-year agreement.”

Councilman Mark Kersey, whose district includes part of the park, praised the financial changes.

“The amended contract safeguards the city from unknown liability, ensures the residents are getting what they’re paying for and helps protect our watershed,” he said.

Councilwoman Sherri Lightner agreed.

“Significant effort was put into untangling the knots of the JPA budget,” she said.

The agreement creates a new funding formula based on population of a member agency and how much of the park’s land they control. It also calls for weighted votes on financial decisions, with San Diego and the county having more power.

San Diego and the county now pay $295,000 each, Escondido pays $119,000, Poway pays $92,000, Solana Beach pays $65,000 and Del Mar pays $55,000.

There is also a 5 percent cap on annual fee increases, but cities that stop paying — something San Diego did under Mayor Jerry Sanders — lose voting rights.

The agreement also addresses how the river park’s assets would be divided up if the JPA is ever dissolved.

Water cuts to be topic at Santa Fe Irrigation District meeting June 23 New, mandatory water-use restrictions and water allocations for customers of Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) will be discussed in detail at a public meeting from 6-7:30 p.m. June 23 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Customers are invited to learn more about the water cuts and have their questions answered.

On May 21, the district’s board of directors approved new customer water allocations as well as Response Level 3 mandatory water restrictions and penalties.

New water allocations are effective beginning July 1, 2015. The allocations are designed to meet the state’s mandated 36 percent cut in district-wide water use, put in place because of the worst drought in state history. To achieve this, the district is providing an essential allotment for basic indoor needs to all, but requiring any usage above that to be reduced by 45 percent com-

pared with each property’s 2013 usage. The result will be a 36 percent district-wide cut in use.

Each customer will be provided an allocation for their property measured in hundred cubic feet (HCF). One HCF is equal to 748 gallons.

In order to help customers reduce water use, the district has expanded its conservation program which includes extensive rebates, incentives, and a water checkup program in which a water conservation professional will come to customers’ homes and businesses for free to identify water savings opportunities.

The district is also carrying out an extensive public outreach program through mailers, the press, web, social media, local presentations and the public meeting on June 23 described above. Examples of the resources available at www.SFIDwater.org.

HERO financing program helps homeowners save water, energy The City Council of Del Mar launched the HERO Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Program recently. HERO PACE financing enables homeowners to make energy- and water-efficient improvements and pay for them through their property tax bill. Property owners repay the assessment over five to 20 years, and the interest is tax-deductible. Homeowners see immediate savings on utility bills.

With California’s newly adopted regulations aimed at reducing urban water consumption by 25 percent, PACE financing is a particularly appealing option for homeowners and municipalities.

“Between the extended drought and rising energy costs, property owners are eager to make the types of investments HERO supports,” said Blair McNeill, vice president of Community Development for Renovate America, which administers the HERO Program. “We’re happy to provide an avenue for financing that requires no money down and does not depend on personal credit, bringing efficiency improvements within reach for a broad range of homeowners.”

Seventeen other communities in San Diego County launched HERO over the past year and a half. In that time, homeowners in these communities have completed almost 4,000 projects, for a total of $89 million in financing from HERO. Communities include Carlsbad, Coronado, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista, as well as the unincorporated areas of San Diego County.

graders tour city, learn about history

Del Mar Mayor Al Corti welcomed the third-graders from Del Mar Heights Elementary School on June 2 in conjunction with the eighth annual History Tour, a tradition sponsored by the Del Mar Village Association History Committee.

Under the guidance of teachers Ms. Faulkner, Ms. Masick, Ms. Anderson, Ms. Kinney, and Mr. Smith, the students had a walking tour through Old Del Mar, visiting historically significant buildings and learning about the city’s past.

They were treated to a cool snack at Seaside Yogurt as they made their way through town en route to the Old Train Station and Powerhouse Park.

As the students prepared A surprise visit from the rescue helicopter was a hit. to have lunch in the park they had a surprise visit from the rescue helicopter, the on duty Deputy, and the Del Mar Ranger, courtesy of the Del Mar Lifeguards and the Sheriff’s Department. They got a close-up look at the equipment, learned about safety and rescue, and had their questions answered by the officers.

said Karlseder, “The same is true for scientists.”

But all agree that age-associated diseases are a major factor in the aging process, he said.

Karlseder’s lab looked at the commonalities between the different age-associated diseases and discovered that stress played a major role.

A recent observation showed that in a young cell, telomeres establish chromosomal territories. “We found out there is a very short window of time during the cellular division cycle where the telomeres establish a territory by going to the nuclei envelope,” Karlseder explained.

Stress is created when these telomeres are not able to organize in the nuclei envelope in the old cell, suggesting the reason for the synergy of age-associated diseases.

“It doesn’t really matter what the responsive genes are; if you can’t organize how they interact with each other, suddenly everything goes wrong, as they cannot organize the genome correctly,” said Karlseder. “This again shows how these tiny telomeres influence the whole cell.”

This finding means that the telomeres of an old cell could be engineered to enter the nuclei and thus suppress these diseases.

Theoretically, telomeres regulate the life span of cells and how chromosomes organize and might well be responsible for the onset of disease. “This is something that we are trying to figure out and how we can extend the human health span without causing cancer,” Karlseder said.

Noah Severns Award goes to Del Mar Hills sixth-grader

Super Dentists host job fair June 20 in CV

For her bravery and courage, Del Mar sixth-grader Brielle Carre recently received an award during the sixth-grade promotion ceremony at Del Mar Hills Academy.

The Noah Severns Award for Bravery and Courage is named in honor of Noah Severns, who attended Del Mar Hills Academy from kindergarten through sixth grade, when he lost his battle with cancer in 2010.

The following year, the school established the award and placed a bench in the school garden in his memo- Brielle Carre with her award. Courtesy photo ry.

“Brielle is very modest, and she doesn’t know how strong and courageous she truly is, whether it be in school or as the only girl on her baseball team,” said Brielle’s mother, Susan Carre. “As her parent, I am honored Brielle is being presented with such a meaningful award in memory of such a special boy.”

Brielle has health sensitivities that are not contagious, Carre said. Because of this, she has had to make adjustments in all aspects of her life — school, activities, the foods she eats.

Despite physical challenges, Brielle has excelled in school and remained an athlete. She is the only girl on her Solana Beach Little League team. Recently, her team received trophies for winning the AAA division with a 13-2 record.

The Super Dentists are opening new locations throughout San Diego and they are hiring more than 30 positions. To meet demand, The Super Dentists are hosting a Job Fair from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, June 20.

They are looking for their next super hero dental assistant, medical and dental billing specialists, activities and entertainment coordinators, management, customer service professionals, as well as pediatric dentists and orthodontists.

The hiring fair will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego-Del Mar (11915 El Camino Real in Carmel Valley).

SB artist exhibits at library through June 28 Explore shapes and forms through a new exhibit by Solana Beach artist Susan Moore.

The Solana Beach Library (157 Stevens Ave.) is hosting “New Works by Susan Moore: An Exploration of Shape and Form in Paint and Prints.”

The art will be on display at the branch through June 28.

A reception with music by Yael and Vlady, refreshments, and an opportunity to meet the artist will be at 6 p.m. June 23.

Moore is an artist who explores nature through photography, painting, collage and prints exhibiting work in her native Kentucky and her adopted home of San Diego. She is deputy director of San Diego County Library.

“The common thread among all these series is shape, form and gestural line,” said Moore. “For me, they are part of ongoing study to find new ways of seeing, a way to appreciate the forms around us every day in a new light. Inspiration for all this new work comes from what I find right outside my door here in Solana Beach.”

The exhibit includes watercolors, monotype prints and Chine-collé. Monotypes are one-of-a-kind prints made when a print is pulled from a plate on which paint has been applied. The image can be transferred by rubbing or in this instance, with a press. Monotypes remain one of a kind because there is no way a second perfect impression of the same image can be made. Chine-collé is a special kind of monotype where the notions of prints and collage merge to create a rich texture of color and paper.

For information on the exhibit and reception, contact the Solana Beach Library at 858755-1404.

Local resident honored for work in behavioral health at Scripps

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Marlene Nadler-Moodie has been honored as the Behavioral Health Person of the Year for San Diego County. As an expert in psychiatric nursing care, she has for nearly 40 years informed the compassionate treatment of patients both locally and nationwide. As a clinical nurse specialist for the Scripps Behavioral Health Team, she acts as a consultant, educator and clinician and has a drive to bring more psychiatric nurses into acute care and medical-surgical settings.

Nadler-Moodie received her award May 29 at the San Diego Behavioral Health Recognition Dinner. “I did not think that I would win this award,� she said. “I was really honored by that and it was a surprise to me.�

For more than 25 years, the award has recognized and honored individuals who have provided outstanding service to the mental health community. “In the course of a career that spans nearly 40 years, Marlene Nadler-Moodie has consistently promoted and advanced psychiatric mental health nursing in multiple and Marlene Nadler-Moodie varied venues,� wrote Jerry Gold, administrative director of was named the Behavioral the behavioral health care line for all of Scripps in his nomi- Health Person of the Year nation letter. He cited her “expertise, her passionate commitfor San Diego County. ment to service excellence, her untiring advocacy for mental health clients, and her exquisite clinical understanding and energy with a can-do spirit� as her most outstanding qualities.

Among her accomplishments are promotion of safety and openness for geriatric patients, her development of alternatives to restraints and more humane treatment for those who need restraint, and her support for trauma-informed care that is raising awareness among caregivers for the need for more compassionate treatment of patients on all floors of the hospital, not just in behavioral health.

In 2009, Nadler-Moodie was awarded the Psychiatric Nurse of the Year by American Psychiatric Nurses Association, perhaps the biggest honor of her career.

She was elected president of the APNA and served three years, and is now president of the APNA California chapter, traveling all over the state. She is also the APNA’s representative to the American Nurses Association, attending national meetings to discuss psychiatric nursing. “(Nadler-Moodie)’s inspiring work to de-stigmatize mental illness and to insure the pro-

vision of competent compassionate care for those that struggle with mental illness is greatly applauded,� wrote Gale Osborn, chair of the awards committee. “(Her) innovative efforts have clearly made a difference in the lives of countless individuals and their families who are challenged with mental disabilities.�

Nadler-Moodie has been a nurse since 1970, working as a psychiatric nurse for 43 of those years. “I always wanted to be a nurse,� she said, tracing the origins to the third grade, when her teacher gave her a book about nursing.

Choosing her specialization came early in her career, after doing her psychiatric nursing rotation in a “male active ward� in New York when she was just 18. “In that unit, men were (lying) on the floor in straitjackets, and it was pretty deplorable,� Nadler-Moodie said.

For showers, the men were put in a shower room and sprayed by orderlies with a hose.

Nurses dispensed medications from a glass cage. She found the patients’ treatment “horrificâ€? and discovered a lifelong mission toward compassionate care. “I was very young and very naĂŻve, and I felt like I could make a difference,â€? NadlerMoodie said.

She went to work in an orthopedic surgical unit and honed her skills talking to special patients, like a paranoid schizophrenic that everyone was afraid of. But Nadler-Moodie realized he just needed someone who would listen.

She remembered working with a 13-year-old patient who was paralyzed from the neck down. “It was very powerful to me,� she recalled. “He needed me to care for more than just his body.�

From there she worked for about eight years at Cornell Medical Center’s psychiatric inpatient unit and went back to school for graduate degree before taking a job at Lenox Hill Hospital.

At the time, Lenox Hill had no psychiatric unit and wanted to try a “scatter bed� system, where psychiatric patents were placed throughout the regular floors. Nadler-Moodie was the only psychiatric nurse. “On my first day, they all really hated me,� she said, because many of the nurses were frustrated that the psychiatric patients were on their floors.

She had to try and persuade the staff that they had to work together.

Her first success came within a few weeks, when the head nurse called her to see an elderly woman who wasn’t eating and wasn’t getting better, no matter what they tried.

Nadler-Moodie consulted with the patient and determined she was depressed. After electroconvulsive therapy, the patient was sitting up in bed, talking and eating. She had wanted a hot dog, so the head nurse went down and got a hot dog from a street vendor.

CV resident/Cal State San Marcos history professor receives top honor Acclaimed for her research on the French Revolution, Cal State San Marcos professor Dr. Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall has been honored with the university’s top distinction.

The 2014-15 Harry E. Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award is given annually to a professor for outstanding achievement in teaching, research and service.

“I try to make a difference in my students’ lives and help transform the way they view the world around them,” said Sepinwall, a Carmel Valley resident who Dr. Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall of Carmel Valley, with serves as a Solana Beach students at Cal State San Marcos. Courtesy photo school volunteer and is a member of the San Diego Jewish Film Festival committee. “This is a wonderful university and I am happy to contribute to its development.”

“Dr. Alyssa Sepinwall exemplifies the highest values of Cal State San Marcos and embodies what it means to be a faculty member committed to sustained excellence in teaching and enhancing student learning,” wrote CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes in honoring her with the Brakebill Award.

That commitment was reflected last fall, when Sepinwall and her family created an en-

dowed scholarship in memory of her late father. Dr. Jerry Sepinwall, an immigrant from Canada, would become a pioneer in the field of neuropsychopharmacology and a leading researcher in the use of benzodiazepines, a class of drugs often prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia and seizures.

After earning her Ph.D. in 1998 from Stanford University Sepinwall joined the CSUSM History Department in 1999. Five years later, she earned the President’s Award for Innovation in Teaching.

Sepinwall’s first book (“The Abbé Grégoire and the French Revolution: The Making of Modern Universalism”) was a biography of the French priest, who argued that Jews should not be oppressed and that slaves should be freed.

Her second book, “Haitian History: New Perspectives,” covers the history of Haiti and was published in 2013.

“Haiti is a fascinating and important country whose history has been forgotten,” Sepinwall said. “When the earthquake happened in 2010 (which left more than 300,000 Haitians dead and an estimated 1.5 million homeless), there was a lot of news coverage. But I was struck by how little those on TV actually knew about this country. Haitians were the first people in the New World to free themselves from slavery, and they were punished at the time by slaveholding countries. The U.S. has also intervened in Haitian politics numerous times in the last century.”

Sepinwall said she is sometimes in awe of the changes that have occurred at CSUSM since she arrived there.

“It’s a tremendously more exciting place to be than when I first got here 17 years ago,” she said. “It used to be a smaller campus, a commuter campus. We would have distinguished lecturers come to speak, and we would be lucky to get 10 people. That’s not the case anymore. We have so many thriving extracurricular activities and a fascinating group of students. They range from Marines who have been all over the world to first-generation college students to more mature students who didn’t have the chance to go to college when they were younger. I learn something new from them every semester.”

Del Mar Heights sixth-graders attend model UN

Now Open! New Office in 4S Ranch Village!

Fifteen sixth grade students from Del Mar Heights Elementary School attended the San Diego Regional Junior Model United Nations conference, held at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at University of San Diego on May 20 and 21.

The conference, attended primarily by middle school students, allows kids to study politics and current events, and to apply writing, public speaking, debate, and negotiation skills in a dynamic environment.

The Del Mar Heights students were divided into three delegations, representing the countries of Honduras, New Zealand and Angola. They wrote resolutions and debated topics such as disarmament, human rights, infectious disease control, and terrorism.

Del Mar Heights Elementary School student Alex Reinsch-Goldstein, competing against hundreds of sixth- through 10th-grade students attending the conference, won the prestigious Patrick Pierson Award for Excellence in Economics Understanding and Reasoning.

The award was presented by Rohn Trieglaff of the San Diego Center for Economics Education, a sponsor of the San Diego Junior Model United Nations.

Alex and his fellow international relations enthusiasts plan to continue their model United Nations involvement by starting a group at Earl Warren Middle School next year.

The San Diego Junior Model United Nations is the oldest junior Model United Nations conference west of the Mississippi, now in its 38th year.

Eva Flores of Carmel Valley, a graduating senior, received the Headmaster’s Award from Peterson and Mary Sterling-Torretti, assistant head of the school.

Winston School recognizes student standouts from Carmel Valley, La Jolla The Winston School recognized Eva Flores of Carmel Valley and Delaney Maguadda of La Jolla with top honors at an annual awards ceremony held recently at the Del Mar Hilton.

The Del Mar-based private school offers innovative teaching for kids struggling with learning differences.

Eva Flores, a graduating senior, received the Headmaster’s Award — the school’s highest honor. Flores has earned multiple awards from the school over the past seven years for various individual achievements.

Her academic performance, spirited participation in the school’s productions of “The Wizard of Oz,” “Guys and Dolls” and “The Clumsy Custard Horror Show,” along with her leadership skills, helped her clinch the honor. According to Headmaster Mike Peterson, her persistence in overcoming the learning challenges she has as a result of Turner’s syndrome, dyslexia and ADD, has been exemplary.

“Eva is always striving to learn, to grow and to move forward in her life. Her enthusiasm, community spirit and extraordinary dedication to better herself makes her an inspiration to her peers,” said Peterson.

Delaney Maguadda, a junior, received

the Loyalty, Spirit and Service Award named for Sarita Doyle Eastman, one of Winston’s founding leaders. Maguadda, who is vice president of the school’s student council and active in the Mentor Club, has made admirable progress in her five years at Winston.

Maguadda, who suffered a traumatic head injury at age 3 and has dyslexia and ADHD, struggles with reading and read at the first-grade level when she began attending the school as a seventh-grader. Thanks to smaller class sizes and Winston’s learning solutions, however, her skills are now on a par with her peers. The gain in confidence has also made her a spirited leader and role model for others, said Peterson.

“Delaney strives to make the school a stronger, happier place by being a good friend, a good worker and the kind of person who embodies all the admirable qualities of one of Winston’s founding leaders.

She’s truly an exceptional student,” he added.

Flores plans to attend Mills College in the fall while Maguadda has her sights set on a career in veterinary medicine.

DMCV Sharks Boys U8 team wins Top Flight Liverpool Cup Del Mar Camel Valley Sharks Boys U8 team, coached by Ryan Penton, recently won the Top Flight Liverpool Cup Championship!

Pictured receiving their medals and the Liverpool Championship Cup trophy are the team members (left to right): Cooper Karros, Dalton Weir, Oliver Kelly, Justin Woodbine, Collin Mariam, Tyler Suhar, Max Campagna, Ben Kamen, Valdemar Snyder, Luca Caruso, and Khyber McFarland. Congratulations Sharks BU8-Penton!

The nurse had seen the benefits of the scatter system and Nadler-Moodie’s influence, and encouraged colleagues to be more open.

Nadler-Moodie was at Lenox Hill for five years and said she might still be there, had she not become a mother. When her son was born in 1983, she and her husband, psychiatrist Dr. Larry Moodie, were considering leaving New York to raise their family.

He went to San Diego to interview for a job.

When Larry called and told her he was interviewing in sunny Balboa Park with a doctor wearing Birkenstocks, Nadler-Moodie took one look outside at the snow that seemed like it was stacked all the way up to their place on the 19th floor and consulted: “Take the job.”

The job was at Kaiser, where he continues to work.

Her son Brett is now a lawyer, and her son Justin, an artist, came back to San Diego after college to teach at his alma mater, Torrey Pines High, and also at Canyon Crest Academy.

While her children were young, NadlerMoodie worked mostly part time doing consulting and teaching out of the UC San Diego extension. She came to Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest in 1994 to oversee a reorganization of care delivery and educate a psychiatric unit. The work evolved into a position, and she has been there for the past 20 years.

She now works two days a week.

At 64, Nadler-Moodie said she is often asked when she is retiring.

“I am retired. I work two days a week and I love it,” she said. “I couldn’t do less than this.”

While Scripps Mercy is the only one of

the five Scripps hospitals in San Diego to have a psychiatric unit, all hospitals get psych patients.

“One in four people has a mental health challenge,” Nadler-Moodie said. “It’s very prevalent. So a lot of patients get found on other floors.”

Her role as a clinical nurse specialist involves staff support, policy work, consulting on difficult patients and providing a lot of education about care.

“One of my biggest passions is working with staff to eliminate restraint use,” NadlerMoodie said. “That’s something I’m most proud of.”

In 2009, Mercy received an award from the National Alliance on Mental Illness for restraint reduction, having gone 16 months without using restraints. Nadler-Moodie helps the staff with guidance, support and education about alternative techniques and approaches to use to calm patients. It is one of the biggest challenges of her work, but it’s where she has found a lot of success.

Her newest project at Mercy is incorporating psychiatric nurses into the medical surgical setting.

She said often nurses don’t feel confident that they have the right skills to work with patients with mental health challenges, so there is a need for more psychiatric nurses and psychiatric clinicians. Already she has seen three psychiatric nurses hired for general acute- care units.

“All psychiatric patients are in recovery; they all can reach a level of functioning,” Nadler-Moodie said. “That may be different for each of us, but we work toward helping patients meet the highest level of achievement that they can.”

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Education Matters Pay to play? The debate over ‘donation’ vs. ‘fee’

BY MARSHA SUTTON Where to begin? So much is happening in the San Dieguito Union High School District that it’s hard to know where to start.

Perhaps the best place to start is with my personal pet peeve: charging fees to Marsha Sutton students who are supposed to receive a free public education. Free public education also includes access to athletics, music, theater and other extracurricular activities.

So when I saw the news release in our paper in the May 21 issue, headlined “CCA offers two options for district physicals,” I zeroed in.

The two options, as it read, were for prospective Canyon Crest Academy athletes to come either June 3 or June 9 and pay $25 to receive a sports physical (the exam is deemed mandatory, according to California Interscholastic Federation rules).

Besides the misleading implication that the only two options for student athletes were to come one of the two nights (when a physical by a student’s primary care physician was also an option), the bigger problem is that the $25 was called a “charge,” not a contribution or voluntary donation.

The two sports physical evenings were sponsored by CCA’s foundation, which uses these nights as fundraisers, with the money supporting CCA’s athletic program.

Despite good intentions, the phrasing is important. And when districts don’t get it right, they need to set the record straight.

And they need to make sure parents who felt misled are given the chance for a refund.

What’s aggravating about this is that it’s clearly illegal to charge students for clay or paint when they take art, or uniforms for band, or costumes for theater. How is this different?

The district says students must have a physical to play sports, according to CIF rules. But even if families understand that there is the third option to get the physical from their own private physician, the exams still cost money.

SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt apologized for the wording, saying the approved press release labeled the $25 a “voluntary donation,” but somehow — somehow? — it got changed to read “$25 charge.”

CCA Principal Karl Mueller said the correct version of the press release — the one that said “requested donation” — was sent to all CCA families in an eblast. He also said the correct version was sent to our paper by a CCA Foundation parent liaison.

It’s true that our office received the correct version on May 16. But two days later, the parent liaison sent a revised version of the press release, writing, “There was a mistake in the article I sent you. It is a $25 charge, not a requested donation. Is it possible to publish this updated version instead?”

Mueller said he did not know how the wording got changed. Even so, despite the approved version stating the $25 was a voluntary donation, Mueller insisted that the revised version was legal.

“A foundation can have a fee for a service,” Mueller said.

So the district’s approved version called it a voluntary donation, but labeling it a fee is no problem?

Confused by what appeared to be a bit

of backpedaling (“We made a mistake but it’s still OK”), I contacted the district office for clarification.

Rick Ayala, SDUHSD’s director of pupil services and alternative programs, said it’s not illegal to charge a fee, but the district prefers to call it a donation.

“Legally they’re entitled to charge a fee for a service, even though we want them to use the word ‘donation,’” said Ayala, who oversees the district’s athletic programs.

“It’s clear that the second press release that followed Karl’s was submitted without his knowledge,” Ayala said. “There was no intent to do anything wrong. It was a case of lack of communication.”

If Mueller didn’t change the wording, then who?

“We’re still looking into it,” Mueller told me last week.

“We still don’t know,” Ayala said this week.

It wasn’t that difficult to figure out.

I asked Joanne Couvrette, the executive director of the CCA Foundation, directly — because who else could it have been?

“I requested that the language in the press release be clarified from a ‘suggested donation’ to the $25 price,” Couvrette confirmed in an email.

“We offer this service as one of the options available to students to comply with the CIF rule requiring a physical as a condition of participating in interscholastic sports,” she added.

Couvrette said the $25 is not tax-deductible, because the fair-market value for this service ranges from $50 to $175, which exceeds the foundation’s $25 fee.

Because of this, “the IRS will not allow the $25 to be treated as a tax-deductible donation,” she said.

So was the district wrong to call it a donation? Or was it wrong to call it a fee?

Can’t force a kid to pay Although the district’s position is that foundations can charge a fee for sports physicals (even though it shouldn’t be called a fee), Sally Smith vehemently disagrees.

Smith, a San Diego activist, attorney and champion of student rights, has filed numerous complaints with the California Department of Education over illegal fees charged to public school students, and has become known throughout the state for her vigorous defense of the rights of low-income students in particular.

“The law provides that a district may require a sports physical,” Smith said in a recent email. “However, if a school district decides to make something mandatory, such as a sports physical or P.E. uniforms …, then the district must provide free of charge.

That’s the law.”

But here’s the catch: CIF requires medical exams for all high school athletes.

“The CIF rule is what districts have said justifies mandatory physicals,” Smith said.

“But CIF cannot make rules that are contrary to law. CIF does not supersede the law.”

San Dieguito’s position is that requiring physicals is legal as long as schools don’t require students to purchase the exams from them. If students can get their physicals from their own medical doctors, then the district is in the clear.

So far the law seems to side with the district. But Smith is not giving up, because there is ambiguity in the wording.

Superintendent Schmitt’s monthly update: bell schedule ideas, program options

BY RICK SCHMITT Superintendent Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through our local media with a monthly update. Topics will include curriculum, assessment, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics.

Today’s topics include 2016-17 bell schedule ideas and increased program options at LCCHS and TPHS, along with an update Rick Schmitt on AP testing and our new state exams.

2016-17 Bell Schedule Ideas and Program Options at La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines High School Staff from TPHS, LCCHS, and the district recently have been investigating various bell schedule options for implementation during the 2016-17 school year. A tentative schedule has been developed that will allow students to take more than six classes while not extending the school day, thus allowing students at the two schools more opportunities to engage in a broader course of study similar to the Canyon Crest and San Dieguito HS Academies. During the fall of the 2015-16 school year, both TPHS and LCCHS will evaluate various instructional minute options to determine which option best fits each school’s needs, while promoting schedule flexibility and choice for our students and families.

With the opportunity for students at LCC and TPHS to take more than six classes beginning with the 2016-17 academic year, district and site staff are also exploring a variety of potential new academic and elective program options at each school for the 2016-’17 school year. The goal of this exploration is to identify programs that would be attractive to students. No decisions have been made about any particular programs, but areas of initial interest include Engineering, Biomedicine, or other Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) pathways, Project-Based Learning, and the International Baccalaureate program.

STEM pathways are sequences of courses designed to develop skill and expertise in a particular STEM-related field such as Engineering. Course sequences typically move from introductory to advanced and culminate with some real-world experience such as an internship in the workplace.

Project-Based Learning is an instructional model in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex, typically multi-disciplinary, question, problem, or challenge. Key features of PBL include critical thinking and problem-solving, and research skills applied to a real-world problem or challenge. Students typically work in small teams over extended periods of time to research the challenge and develop, critique and revise solutions with the product ultimately presented to experts outside the school setting. This program simulates college and workplace lab environments.

International Baccalaureate is a rigorous internationally-respected curriculum and diploma program that is used in schools around the world. The program outlines a prescribed curriculum and includes external assessments via which students can earn college credit for a wide variety of courses. Through the IB program, students can choose to pursue an IB diploma in addition to their high school diploma by completing a sequence of courses and passing a variety of embedded assessments, or students can simply take IB classes of interest to them without pursuing the IB diploma.

In the fall of 2015, staff, students and families will be engaged in discussion of various program options as part of the decision-making process around program offerings. Final decisions about bell schedule and program changes at LCCHS and TPHS will be made with ample time for our See SCHMITT, page 21 LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

EDUCATION Why does all this matter? Because low-income students deserve access to all that public education has to offer, and students should never be placed in a position of non-participation due to lack of money. Neither can it be required of them to self-identify as poor.

“The district’s stance is we’re not going to turn kids away,” Ayala said. “We can’t force a kid to pay.”

He said when students express concern about costs, the schools work with them and don’t require proof of financial need.

Ayala said he didn’t know what specific instructions volunteers were given if any student at the sports physical evenings said he or she was unable to pay. But the district’s expectation, he said, is that any student who could not afford to pay should be given a physical at no charge.

“That’s always been the arrangement,” he said.

Solana Beach Cats champions for second time The Solana Beach Cats won their second Tournament Championship (in three attempts) for this season, winning the Top Gun Spring League 7th Grade Tournament, going undefeated in the competition.

Couvrette said if that had occurred, “we would have provided the service at no charge for that person.”

“Our fundraising event for sports physicals is very popular with parents,” she said. Both nights were fully booked, “because the price is very low, it is very convenient and it is an easy option.”

But she stressed it was not the only option.

She said parents are free to obtain the physical through their own physician — even though this fact was buried in the announcement that was distributed.

The communication breakdown is worrisome. Foundations cannot be permitted to distribute information to the press and public without some oversight by the district. But this can get murky.

On the one hand, foundations need to maintain some degree of autonomy. There needs to be a clear demarcation

between the district and the foundation. A too-cozy relationship spells trouble. This is where the Del Mar Union School District got into trouble in the early years of its foundation.

On the other hand, oversight on communication that goes out to the public from school foundations is necessary, to ensure the law and district policies are being followed.

Ayala said he would address the issue with all the principals — and presumably with foundation directors as well.

Said Supt. Schmitt, “Our position is unchanged about the legality of foundations using a fee for service. That said, I’m disappointed with the inconsistency with the way we phrased it. We will get it right in the future.”

A spokesman for Roberts who attended the news conference repeated past criticisms of Vaughan and Porter and said their accusations were false.

While Roberts stands by Meza, internal communications from the supervisor’s office show that other staffers had a problem with the aide. Porter, former administrative assistant Brittany Shaw, former policy adviser Lindsey Masukawa and current Chief of Staff Mel Millstein all had workplace issues with Meza that they tried to address, internal office records show.

They complained that Meza was late filing reports, that he wasted time watching Internet videos, that he went through their desks, and that he dumped his responsibilities onto other staff members.

Millstein once wrote that Meza was just a “very good” talker, and that at one time Meza attended an event only to win Roberts’ favor.

“I understand that Harold wants brownie pts with Dave so he’s going tomorrow,” Millstein wrote.

Masukasa also has filed a claim against the county, but was not named in Meza’s suit. In her claim, Masukawa said the staff didn’t want Meza to be hired, but Roberts insisted the intern join the staff.

“Notably, Roberts’ entire staff voted not to hire the driver,” her claim said.

Porter and Vaughan both resigned from Roberts’ office in April and subsequently filed claims with the county that allege a series of improprieties in Roberts’ office, including that he had an improper relationship with Meza.

In a series of text messages, Roberts mentioned sharing a bed with Meza and said that Meza would keep him warm during a trip to Washington, D.C. Roberts’ office said that these were merely inappropriate jokes and the supervisor did not have an improper relationship with Meza, sexual or otherwise.

Gilleon said Roberts wasn’t sued over the text messages because the lawsuit focuses on bad conduct in the workplace, and because Roberts didn’t send the texts to Meza but to other people.

“In reality, what’s happening is you’re asking us about text messages that Mr. Roberts sent. He didn’t send them to Mr. Meza, he sent them to other people,” Gilleon said.

POLO TOWN HALL

overflow patio and an 800-square-foot breezeway, which would be a covered walkway to the adjacent city hall. The main hall would have a maximum occupancy of 300 people standing, 214 people seated and 100 people seated at tables. The breezeway and patio would offer additional space for an approximate maximum capacity of 620 people standing, 442 people seated and 206 people seated at tables.

The team also looked at future expandable space. The town hall could be expanded to 4,700 gross square feet and not compromise the overall plan, Jobes said. If expanded, the total capacity would increase to 746 people standing, 531 people seated and 248 people seated at tables.

The design character of the civic center was also addressed.

Jobes pointed to the wooden ceilings and tresses at the Del Mar Library, Powerhouse Community Center and Jake’s Del Mar as inspiration.

“A wood structure seems very appropriate to us — code-wise, it works fine,” he said. “It seems to fit in with the rest of the community really well.”

He also noted the outdoor shaded trellises at the Del Mar Plaza, and again, the use of wood in St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.

After seeing the hybrid concepts, resident and developer resident Jim Watkins, who originally favored Concept A, supported the recommended concept.

“I think they’ve done a marvelous job on the plan,” he said. “I think this probably represents the community as close as anything we’re ever going to get. I would support it fully.”

Some residents, including Betty Wheeler, liked the idea of a larger town hall.

“We need this larger space to accommodate vibrant community participation in civic issues,” she said. “The town hall site should serve not only to accommodate high levels of civic involvement, but actually encourage it by providing a functioning and welcoming space where people can participate and interact without being limited by constraints of an inadequate venue — and sometimes that means accommodating lots of groups around work tables. Let’s build a space that will serve that need and encourage that kind of participation.”

Resident Greg Rothman asked the council not to use too much of the future expandable space.

“My caution would be to not chip away too much at the expansion space,” he said. “As much as I’d love to see an expanded town hall and all the things that they speak about, we can’t have everything.”

Resident Bill Michalsky agreed. “If the community feels strongly that we need this town hall space, then we better accommodate the community,” he said.

“We can’t keep growing all of the elements,” he added. “So I would hope that if we grow the town hall, we would deduct some out of the city hall and make sure it all works.”

After hearing from the speakers, the council discussed potentially expanding the town hall to accommodate up to 250 people at tables, which Councilman Dwight Worden suggested.

Councilman Don Mosier said he’d be happy to accommodate 250 people in auditoriumstyle seating, which the council later unanimously approved. The council also asked the design team to look at including a 400- to 500-square-foot catering kitchen.

“Trying to accommodate 250 at tables means that you are taking away a lot of the plaza space and decreasing future expansion potential,” Mosier said, adding that it would probably be “budget-busting.”

“We’re flexible enough to grow town hall into something bigger to meet community needs, but there needs to be some practical limit,” he added.

Overall, the council agreed to move forward with Option E. The design team will now develop a schematic design based on the concept, which will go to the council on July 20.

leased, it will be posted on the city real estate assets website.

The San Diego Polo Club’s original 26-year lease expired in March 2012. Since the lease expired, the club has occupied the property on a month-to-month basis. On May 31, they had a record-breaking opening day of polo with more than 5,000 people in attendance.

The property is subleased to San Diego Surf Soccer, and Surf Cup and soccer practices and games often fill the grass.

The issues the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board most wanted addressed in the RFP were the “maddening” entry and exit on El Camino Real and the traffic build-up, and how the leasee will interface with the nearby vacant property, a dirt lot that serves as overflow parking and has drainage problems. Developer Milan Capital is planning a senior living community on the 23.88-acre slice of land.

Neighbor Cory Hao said he has been supportive of the Polo Club and the soccer uses in the past, but noted that traffic and parking really need to be addressed.

“If that lot goes away, where are they going to put all those cars? The Surf Cup brings 2,500 to 3,000 cars per event,” Hao said.

The board members also expressed that they would like to see the trail easement on the property remain part of the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest trail, and that the leasee won’t oppose a potential roundabout solution on El Camino Real when the road is eventually widened from San Dieguito Road to Via de la Valle.

Board member Ken Farinsky said he would like to see the property used as a city park rather than a for-profit use. Farinsky said he would also like the RFP to require more visible signage that the land is public space and open for the community’s use. When soccer and polo are not in session, the land is open to the public. People are frequently seen running around the property or playing on the grass.

Krista Bonaguidi, the president of the Fairbanks Polo Club Homeowners Association, the neighborhood that overlooks the club, said she has concerns that the proposed language regarding events in the RFP was changed from the original deed. In the original deed, events are allowed for 25 calendar days, but the new RFP changed it to 25 events.

Given that the Surf Cup could count as one event even though it lasts for two weekends, Bonaguidi is concerned that there will be no limitations on how long an event can be.

Twenty-five events could mean an event every other weekend of the year, she said.

The board echoed the concern about the number of events and city official Farst said it would be considered as the RFP is prepared.

Polo Club Vice President Anakar said because the RFP is still a work in progress, the club is not aware of all the details that will be included, but they have been kept informed of the planning board and other neighboring groups’ concerns.

“This property has become a landmark for the community, not only with equestrian and youth sport uses, but keeping the field open and green,” Anakar said, adding that he feels most of the community wants to see it remain an open field with active uses.

“If we meet all the environmental requirements and cooperate with the city on road widening and public trails, I think we can work on a plan together. I think this is the best use of the property for many years to come.”

cy and conservation programs through its many early successes,” said Dan King, assistant to the city manager.

Over the past year, staff from Solana Beach, SANDAG and SDG&E have updated the city’s 2008 Sustainable Region report to include activities and programs the city has developed and implemented, as well as identifying additional energy and cost-saving programs that may benefit the city, resulting in the roadmap.

The roadmap recognized steps Solana Beach has already taken to become a more sustainable city.

Since becoming a pilot city of the Sustainable Region Program in 2008 and partnering with Chevron Energy Solutions Company in 2011, the city has activated a number of recommendations from both partnerships.

In 2012, Solana Beach conducted an energy audit of city facilities in partnership with Chevron ESCO. The report estimated that by switching all city-owned streetlights to LED lights, the city would save approximately $33,000 on its annual utility bill.

Soon after, Solana Beach retrofitted all 527 city-owned streetlights to a more energyefficient LED technology and became the first city in San Diego County to use citywide LED retrofits to reduce energy and cut costs. According to the Energy Roadmap audit, the city has saved approximately $71,672 by changing its streetlights.

The energy audit also assessed city sites for Energy Star Certification by benchmarking energy use to reveal how a building’s energy consumption compares with similar buildings, based on a national average.

The energy audit “determined that City Hall is a highly efficient building, scoring 91 out of 100 possible points,” said Sarah Strand of SANDAG. “This rating really reflects the impact of the energy-efficiency improvements that have been made to the now high-performing facility. As a result of the audit, we

were able to recognize these improvements by helping City Hall attain an Energy Star Certification.”

Through the Energy Roadmap program, the city will receive an Energy Star plaque.

Besides carrying out energy efficiency upgrades, the city has added an electronic vehicle to its fleet and installed EV charging stations at City Hall, among other accomplishments.

The roadmap also identified other ways the city could save energy and money.

After an energy audit of city facilities, staff and consultants identified about $9,000 in potential savings through utility rate changes at the fire station and the marine safety building. Simple utility rate changes would annually save about $8,100 at the fire station and $900 at the marine safety building.

An analysis was also made to determine whether solar photovoltaic systems should be installed at six city sites: City Hall, the marine safety building, fire department, La Colonia Community Center, the public works yard and Fletcher Cove Community Center. The Fletcher Cove center showed the most potential for supporting such a system.

If the city were to buy PV systems for each of the six sites, the simple payback would be approximately 14.4 years. However, the study noted that rooftop space is limited at the sites, so most of the systems would have to be installed on the ground or in a parking lot, which is more costly. Therefore, the study did not recommend a direct investment by the city because of high costs, but noted financing options are available.

In related business, the council unanimously voted to participate in and work toward achieving an award for its sustainability efforts. Participating in the program is included in the roadmap.

The Institute for Local Government’s Beacon Award: Local Leadership Toward Solving

Climate Change program recognizes cities and counties that: reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use; adopt policies and programs that address climate change; and promote sustainability. The Institute for Local Government is a nonprofit research and education affiliate of the League of California Cities and the California Association of Counties.

“Participating in the Beacon Award program will increase the city of Solana Beach’s visibility within the region and state,” King said. “This is an opportunity for the city to showcase its existing efforts, promote sustainability and save energy while working toward one of the three award levels.”

To participate in the Beacon Award, cities and counties must complete an application and prepare or commit to prepare a baseline

greenhouse gas emissions inventory and climate action plan. They must also show compliance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, and achieve specified measurable greenhouse gas reductions and energy savings, among other requirements.

With the council’s approval, the city will now work toward achieving one or more of the three award levels — silver, gold or platinum. There is no deadline or timeline for the awards, as they are given on an ongoing basis.

Participants receive special recognition at League of California Cities and California State Association of Counties events, are highlighted on the Beacon Award website and receive certificates and materials to display at city facilities.

families to make thoughtful and informed choices in regards to selecting a high school for the 2016-17 school year.

Advanced Placement and New State Exams During April and May we were busy administering AP exams to our high school students and the new statewide Smarter Balanced Assessments Consortium tests in English Language Arts and mathematics to our students in grades 7, 8, and 11. This year, SDUHSD administered an astounding 7,412 AP Exams to students, a test increase of over 225 from the previous year and a new SDUHSD record for participation. Since 2004, as we have expanded access to Honors & AP courses, the total number of students taking AP exams has doubled while the pass rate has improved from 62% to 83%.

The new SBAC tests were conducted over the course of the last two months at all of our schools and we are proud that our very high participation rate significantly exceeds the California Department of Education requirement for accountability purposes. This year, the results will be used as a

baseline for students, schools, and districts, with new score reports forthcoming during the summer. The new SBAC tests are very similar to what AP tests have always been, with a focus on critical thinking and problem solving. The new state standards and related tests are aligned to the new SAT and ACT exams.

We are so proud of our students — another fabulous year! Compliments also go out to our active, informed and involved parent community. We are listening to you.

Over the course of the year, I enjoyed over 20 parent information sessions at each of our schools and was also able to visit each elementary district for sessions with K-6 parents. I always enjoy hearing from parents during these informal Q&A sessions. I will be scheduling parent session at each of our schools again in 2015-16.

Have a safe, restful and enjoyable summer. First day of school is Aug. 25, 2015!

property, generating additional foot traffic into the local businesses.”

Since its establishment, the district has launched a marketing campaign and designed a logo and tagline, “Your California Dream.” Although each hotel maintains a separate website, the district also launched its site, dreamdelmar.com.

The site allows visitors to book directly. It also offers information about hotels, restaurants and things to do in the coastal city.

According to the 2014 annual report, the district had a nearly $300,000 budget, of which 74 percent went toward marketing.

The Dream Del Mar online marking campaign commenced in February 2014. There were 119 million total ad impressions, resulting in nearly 125,000 site visitors, according to the report. From those visitors, on average, there were 200 hotel booking clicks per month.

“As you know, the TBID has had a rough start over the last five years,” Beucler acknowledged. “But we feel we’ve really hit our stride this year, especially on the marketing end.”

The transient occupancy tax has increased every year since the district’s inception, Beucler noted. In 2011-12, it was just over $1.8 million. It is projected to be nearly $2.5 million in 2015-16.

“These numbers are really showing that the hotels are doing their part — the TBID is doing its part to drive TOT tax to the city of Del Mar,” Beucler said.

At the council’s request, a report was also provided on the district’s performance and travel spending impact.

According to the report by Strategic Marketing Group Consulting, it is estimated that the incremental increase resulting from the district’s marketing programs has generated approximately $16 million in travel spending, of which $2.7 million is in increased lodging revenues. The programs have also generated an estimated $342,000 in incremental tax revenue, including transient occupancy tax and sales tax.

Overall, overnight visitors to Del Mar have increased from 78,873 in 2011 to 82,629 in 2014, a 5 percent increase,

according to the report.

Occupancy rates, as reported by the lodging properties, have increased from 63 percent in 2011 to 66 percent in 2014, a 3 percent increase. Overall travel spending generated by overnight visitors staying in Del Mar was an estimated $111 million in 2014.

“That means the TBID’s generating roughly about 15 percent of incremental value to the overall travel spending,” said Carl Ribaudo of SMG Consulting. “That number is very consistent with a range of studies we’ve done in a variety of travel destinations.”

Although the report was slated for September, which is the end of the district’s fiscal year, board members decided to give their presentation early, since the district is set to expire later this year. Board members and stakeholders hope the council will renew the district, especially with the Breeders’ Cup headed to Del Mar in 2017.

The district is required to provide the council with an annual update. In prior years, the council expressed frustration regarding the lack of data.

“I think this is a good annual report,” said Councilman Don Mosier, who serves as a liaison to the district, after the report. “It had a lot more substance in this report than anything we’ve seen before. We now have numbers to support the performance of the TBID.” Although Mayor Al Corti, who also serves as a liaison, said he appreciates the group’s progress, he is “still not convinced that it’s the best use of the dollars.”

Councilman Dwight Worden wasn’t that impressed with the increase in occupancy rates and overnight visitors, and also questioned whether the district is the best use for the funds. At his suggestion, the council later voted to have the city’s finance committee look at the report.

In response, Beucler said that L’Auberge Del Mar is having “its best year to date.”

“It’s my job to do everything possible to protect those results moving forward,” he said. “This is just another one of those channels that opens up our lines.”

As part of the renewal process, the district plans to go

before the council again in July to present the 2015 year-todate results.

If it’s renewed, Beucler said the district plans to continue its online marketing programs, tracking its success by the unique visitors to the Dream Del Mar website.

The district also aims to strengthen its relationship with the Del Mar Village Association, which shares the goal of keeping Del Mar Village economically vital.

“We, the board of hoteliers, are fully committed to this organization and its results moving forward,” Beucler said.

“We recognize that we’ve had some organizational challenges, quite frankly. As part of our plan ... we plan to modify our current governance as part of the renewal process.”

KC Vafiadis, a Del Mar native and commercial property owner who serves on the DMVA board and as a liaison to the district, said the district has benefited the community.

“I have watched them grow and strengthen over the last couple of years,” she said. “I’m proud of where they’re at right now.”

To date, the district has supported several downtown initiatives, including the Del Mar Village brochure, historical walking tours program, commercial zone improvements, and grants for community events, including Santa by the Sea, Taste & Art Stroll and the Pop-Up Culture Series, among others.

The district plans to partner with the Del Mar Village Association to work on additional promotional programs, particularly related to the Breeders’ Cup, downtown shuttle programming, and public arts and culture, Beucler said.

The district also plans to present a new governance plan that would establish the DMVA as the district’s owners association, Beucler said. The assessed hotels would be part of a subcommittee within the Del Mar Village Association.

“We feel that a partnership with the DMVA is absolutely necessary moving forward, as part of our renewal process,” he said. “We feel this would provide more structure, alignments, with all things related to the downtown initiatives.”

Local martial artist’s skills give a kick to ‘Underdog Kids’

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Taking her skills from the mat to the screen, local martial artist Rayna Vallandingham is making her movie debut in “Underdog Kids.” Written and directed by actor and martial artist Phillip Rhee, the family-friendly film is available on DVD and on demand July 7.

“I’ve been waiting for so long,” said 12-year-old Rayna.

“I’m really excited for everyone to see it.”

“Underdog Kids” follows the story of former mixed martial arts champion Jimmy “The Lightning Bolt” Lee (Rhee), who trains a group of underprivileged children in karate. Rayna plays “Leticia Hernandez,” the only girl on the struggling Mid-City Community Center’s karate team.

“I loved the experience,” Rayna said. “I enjoyed working with everyone, especially Phillip. He really is a great martial artist and person, inside and out. He made me feel like family and made me feel welcome. It was my first film and I didn’t know anybody.”

With only a few auditions under her belt, Rayna said her martial arts background gave her the confidence she needed to land her first acting role.

Rayna began studying taekwondo at Church’s ATA Martial Arts in Encinitas when she was 3 years old. Less than a decade later, she has a third-degree black belt and holds 11 taekwondo world titles.

With a goal to one day compete in the Olympics, Rayna is training with Olympian Peter Lopez and three-time Olympic coach Jean Lopez. In February, she won the Nevada State Taekwondo Championship.

“She is so terrific,” Rhee said. “Her role shows girl power. It empowers little girls because she is a champion in her own right.”

Rhee, who also stars in the film, was inspired by the struggles of American families during the recession when he created the concept for “Underdog Kids.”

“Everyone was going through a difficult time,” Rhee said. “I wanted to make a movie that really inspired kids and brought families together.”

“In the film, these misfit kids have nothing,” he explained. “One thing they do have is a coach that instills in them to take everything that’s negative in their lives and turn it into something positive.”

The film was shot July through mid-August 2013 in See UNDERDOG, page B12

Peter Lewi Attorney at Law Owner/Broker 858-525-3256

BY KAREN BILLING Alex Jen, a 2015 Torrey Pines High School graduate, has been relentless in his pursuit of a career in the art world, crafting his own art education using the promising connections he has made.

Alex wanted to learn curating in preparation for a degree in art history. So he emailed the education department at the Museum of Contemporary Art 26 times over the course of five months to land an internship that didn’t really exist.

His persistence and drive earned him the internship in 2013, and he has been there ever since — moving into a position in advancement. There the 17-year-old has learned about grant writing, fundraising and corporate sponsorship. He’s learning not only about the paintings on the wall but how to keep the paintings on the wall — the business behind a museum.

Not satisfied with just learning, he wanted to curate, assigning himself a senior project to host his own art show.

“I wanted to do a project that featured San Diego artists and have my first try at curating a show and what I was going to be getting into at college,” Alex said.

Alex curated his first show, “PROCESS,” in February, a collection of sketches and small works at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla. His second, more ambitious show, “Hide and Seek: Exploring the Abstract,” launches June 27 at the Woodbury University School of Architecture in San Diego.

“Hide and Seek” features UC San Diego master of fine arts degree candidates Tanya Brodsky, Audrey Hope, Kara Joslyn and Patrick Shields; Columbia University bachelor of fine arts degree candidate Cheeyeon;

The opening will be from 6-9 p.m. and will feature live music from the bands Paper Days and Freshmen.

Not an artist himself, Alex loves reading and writing about art, visiting museums and discovering new artists. In addition to his internship at MOCA, he also recently finished a yearlong internship at Quint Gallery in La Jolla.

Last summer, Alex participated in the Pacific Arts Movement’s Reel Voices program, a 12-week summer internship to help students learn about film production and how to become socially conscious storytellers. His film, “This Is Not a Pipe Dream: Asians Breaking Into the Arts,” premiered at the San Diego Asian Film Festival and was nominated for a San Diego County of Education Innovative Video in Education award.

The title is a riff on Rene Magritte’s “This Is Not a Pipe” painting, and the documentary deals with the pressure Asian artists feel about pursuing a career in

“Sad Bag (Pillow)” by artist Audrey Hope will be featured in “Hide and Seek: Exploring the Abstract,” an exhibit curated by 2015 Torrey Pines High School graduate Alex Jen. The show launches June 27 at the Woodbury University School of Architecture in San Diego.

While at Torrey Pines, Alex was also the arts and entertainment editor of the Falconer school newspaper. He is able to list New York Times’ Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Holland Cotter as a mentor after a chance encounter at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. Alex was there with the Asian American Journalists Association’s J Camp, and he recognized Cotter. The pair began corresponding, with Cotter offering critiques of Alex’s work.

“Curating is almost like storytelling, like journalism; there’s a story that goes through the exhibit, and people feel and see it,” Alex said.

His first show, at the Athenaeum, was in a very small space: between bookcases at the library.

He learned that he needed to “cater the art to the space you’re in” and to really think about the works that could fill it. He focused on sketches and small works of three artists, Cheeyeon (whom he had interviewed for his documentary) and high school artists Anna Huang and Claire Kwon.

“It inspired me to go bigger for my next show,” said Alex, who began planning “Hide and Seek” in November.

To hand-pick his featured artists, Alex attended the UCSD Open Studios show in March, and looked at all of the MFA candidates’ works online. He singled out the ones he liked and emailed them about his show, scheduling studio visits and learning more about the artists and their works.

Alex drew inspiration for the show from Forrest McGill’s “Gorgeous” exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in San See GRADUATE, page B18

Author hopes kids reap love of gardening, reading through book

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK For Bradley Zink, it all started with a seed.

An active volunteer at his son’s elementary school, Zink often reads to students and even helped build a butterfly garden at the campus. The garden project eventually led to his book, “It Starts With a Seed,” which he now shares with kids at local schools and libraries.

Zink will read his book and conduct a seed planting demonstration at 10 a.m. June 27 at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino Del Mar. “I’m there to not only get kids interested in reading, but in gardening,” said Zink, who has lived in San Marcos since 2007.

Although Zink is a computer engineer from San Jose, his life forever changed the day his son, Alex, was born in 2009. He became a devoted stay-at-home dad.

When Alex, now 6, started school, Zink was right there alongside him. He continues to volunteer at Twin Oaks Elementary every week.

Because Zink has had a passion for books since childhood, he has shared his love of reading with his son and other students at the school. In 2014, he self-published his first children’s book, “Love … a Dove,” a book about animals, with pictures he took at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

To his delight, Twin Oaks Elementary students loved the book when he shared it with them.

“They were all so amazed and fell in love with it,” Zink said.

After Zink helped build a butterfly garden at the school, he began his second book, “It Starts With a Seed.” The book teaches children about the stages of plant growth, from seed to harvest.

Around the same time, school administrators invited Zink to four second-grade fieldtrips at San Marcos-based Home Town Farms, where he captured photos of the students.

“The amazing thing was a lot of the children had never seen a fruit or a vegetable growing on a plant before,” Zink said. “I saw amazement in their eyes. It gave me the idea to go to schools and not only read my book, but teach kids the different phases of a plant and how they can plant at home.”

As Zink finalized “It Starts With a Seed,” he made four customized versions of the book, along with photos, for each classroom that went on the field trips. Every student received a free copy.

To thank him for his work, the students created a handmade thank-you book, with messages about his book and pictures.

“This is where I get my payment from,” Zink said with a smile. “That’s why I do it for free. You can’t put a price on this.”

Zink’s time and talents have since been requested at other schools.

To date, Zink has held a variety of events at local schools, including fundraisers at San Marcos-based Growing Tree Children’s Center, as well as San Marcos Unified School District’s Carrillo, Joli Ann and Twin Oaks elementary schools. He sells his books during the

Author Bradley Zink and friends; his book is “It Starts With a Seed” (inset photo) fundraisers with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the schools.

Now, Zink is reaching out to other schools and organizations across the region, offering his services for free.

Zink’s other upcoming appearances include the Fairy Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

June 20 at the San Diego Botanic Garden and the Lemon Zest and Garlic Fest from noon to 5 p.m. July 18 at San Diego Waterfront Park.

Both of Zink’s books are also available on Amazon.com. One dollar from each book sold online is donated to Twin Oaks Elementary School.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

For Father’s Day, consider some manly pampering at V’s Barbershop Scott McDaniel is bringing the old-fashioned barbershop back to San Diego. As the owner of V’s Barbershop in Del Mar, McDaniel recently opened his second location in Carlsbad.

“This new location is important because it’s a wonderful market,” said Jim Valenzuela, founder and CEO of V’s Barbershop. “In all of Southern California, you’d be hard-pressed to find better. It’s a community, which is important to barbershops, and we want to be a part of it.”

McDaniel first discovered V’s Barbershop during a trip to Arizona. Headquartered and founded in Phoenix, the company is known for its authentic, upscale barbershop experience.

“What sets V’s a part is the experience, the environment and the quality of the services,” McDaniel said. “It’s a quality experience in addition to quality service.”

Since the company was founded in 1999, it has grown to more than 30 locations across the country.

In 2011, McDaniel, a Del Mar resident, opened his first shop in his hometown, off Via de la Valle in the Haggen’s shopping center. The store was the company’s 13th location. The new Carlsbad site, which opened mid-May, is the 31st.

“We’ve grown significantly in the last four years,” said McDaniel, who worked in the software industry for 20 years before becoming a franchisee. “The men’s grooming industry has undergone a resurgence, a renovation. There’s been a lot of growth.”

Located in the La Costa Town Square, the 1,200-square-foot Carlsbad site offers a variety of services, including high-quality haircuts, straight razor shaves, moustache and beard trims, men’s facials, massages and shoe shines.

With Father’s Day around the corner, V’s Barbershop also offers gift cards and a variety of packages. For just $80, the Whole Deal treatment at V’s Barbershop includes a haircut, shampoo, straight-razor shave, facial, face and shoulder massage, and hot towels.

“Once somebody comes in and gives us a try, they’re almost guaranteed to come back,” McDaniel said.

The Carlsbad shop is at 7615 Via Campanile, Suite 116, in Carlsbad. Store hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The store is closed Mondays.

Appointments and walk-ins are welcome. Call 760-753-4321 or visit vbarbershop.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Prepare to be floored by store-closing sale at Golden Rugs Gallery •G olden Rugs Gallery to move to new location

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Interior designers know that the choice of floor covering in a home is critical for the look, feel and ambiance of the space. An area rug, for example, can set the tone for the color palette and the aesthetic of everything else in a room.

Keenly aware of this design strategy is Houchang “Michael” Mikaeli, founder of Golden Rugs Gallery. His store — established in 1992 and located at 7160 Miramar Road, Suite 126 in San Diego — maintains a large variety of high-quality area rugs that cater to every design aspect of a home’s interior, whether the approach is contemporary, decorative, tribal or antique.

His family has been involved in the rug business for three generations, so Golden Rugs’ knowledge of all aspects of the rug manufacturing business runs deep.

As much as he is passionate about rugs, Mikaeli above all values his clientele. When people come into the store they are given a brief history of all the rugs. “There is a story to each one,” said Mikaeli.

As the family patriarch, Mikaeli has devoted much of his life to the rug industry and along the way has educated his son and daughters about the business.

After being in the family business since

1968, Mikaeli recently decided to retire and soon Golden Rugs will end its decades-long lease at its main gallery headquarters.

The business, however, will continue to operate at 7190 Miramar Road, suite 101105, under the stewardship of son Jason Mikaeli.

Customers will benefit from a rare opportunity to get the best deals possible before the store closes. With a huge inventory to move, Mikaeli stated, “Don’t be shy, give us your offer!”

The Mikaeli family, Christians of Kurdish-Chaldean descent, originate from the Middle Eastern city of Bidjar in the Kurdistan Province of Iran, long-famed for its exquisite rugs.

The entire family has been involved in the rug business for three generations. Youhana Mikaeli began making rugs in Bidjar in 1945. He naturally passed his knowledge of rugs on to his son Houchang.

Following the end of the Shah era in Iran, Mikaeli moved with his wife, Samiran, and their three children — Jason, Jessica and Jennifer — to Denmark in 1980 where he continued in the rug business. In 1992, he relocated his family to San Diego where he established Golden Rugs Gallery.

Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Torrey Pines, festival funds raised will be used for 20 programs that support and enhance the lives of San Diego children, adults and wounded veterans through adaptive sports, recreation and education.

The festival will showcase more than 200 artists specializing in ceramics, fiber/textiles, glass, jewelry, mixed media, painting, paper, photography and sculptures. In keeping with the surf culture theme, world-renowned surf photographer Aaron Chang and custom surfboard shaper Tim Bessell will serve as honorary ambassadors and will display their wares.

Baked Bear sweet shop opening June 26 in CV Things are getting sweeter in Carmel Valley, just in time for summer. The Baked Bear, San Diego’s original artisan cookie and ice cream sandwich parlor, will be opening its newest location at noon June 26 in Carmel Valley at 5950 Village Way, Suite 101, San Diego, 92130.

Co-founders Shane Stanger and Rob Robbins opened The Baked Bear, a modern take on an old-fashioned ice cream sandwich shop in 2013, after quitting their respective day jobs to fulfill a childhood dream. Just two years later, the pair have another store opening slated for August and more franchising opportunities on the horizon.

“It’s all about bringing homemade recipes and affordable treats to local neighborhoods,” said Robbins, who, like Stanger, is a San Diego native. The Carmel Valley store will be the second to open in North County.

The menu includes just about every ice cream sandwich creation imaginable; made-toorder combinations of baked in-house cookies, brownies and doughnuts with craft ice cream, hot fudge sundaes, and the store’s specialty item, the Bear Bowl, a warm chocolate chip cookie pie with a scoop of ice cream on top. Guests can even control the temperature of their desserts with the hot-press option, which warms the cookies on the outside, leaving the ice cream cool in the middle.

The Carmel Valley store will be the company’s fourth location. Its Mission Boulevard location was joined by The Baked Bear’s Petco Park location just three months after opening its doors, and the La Costa location opened earlier this year.

The Carmel Valley grand opening will include a raffle to win a catered ice cream sandwich party for up to 100 people!

Jazz on Cedros returns June 26 to Carruth Cellars in Solana Beach After selling out their four previous events, “Anna Danes Presents” and Carruth Cellars are making “Jazz on Cedros” a monthly sold-out staple with their fifth event June 26!

Each month, the acoustic concerts feature jazz standards by Solana Beach-based Anna Danes and her band along with other jazz artists from around San Diego. The performances are paired with the fine wines and great atmosphere of urban winery Carruth Cellars in Solana Beach.

“JOC is also a community builder, where you can run into old friends, and make new ones while enjoying great music

in a cozy, friendly environment over a fabulous glass of wine. And I never skimp on the sequins either! I think staying classy and being respectful of your audience’s appreciation of the finer things are always in vogue and appreciated.”

The next Jazz on Cedros event will be from 6-9 p.m. June 26 and will feature performances by Danes, as well as top local talents Whitney Shay and Aubrey Fay. Anna Danes is recording her second full-length jazz album at Capitol Records this summer and continues to produce sophisticated live entertainment events throughout San Diego County.

Horses for Happiness holds second free camp for at-risk youngsters Horse For Happiness, founded by Del Mar resident and Earl Warren eighth-grader Kelsey Yin, was excited to offer a free horse camp to children from the San Diego Center For Children. This year’s event was held June 6 at Horsebound riding school in Rancho Penasquitos.

Teaming under-served or at-risk youth with horses offers many benefits. Allowing kids to handle a 1,000-pound animal gives them confidence and teaches them respect for boundaries. Horses also teach sensitivity. They are very emotional animals that can pick up on what you are feeling and reflect it back.

None of this year’s campers had experience with horses. At the start of camp, emotions ranged from excited to scared. But by the end of camp, all the campers rated horses a “10” on the fun scale. They began by learning about horse behavior before being assigned their own horse for the day. Campers then learned to groom and saddle their horses. Next, they went on a scenic trail ride through the Rancho Penasquitos preserve. They crossed a creek and meandered through a scenic grove of maple trees. When they returned to the ranch, they retreated to the picnic area for some much-needed snacks and a craft decorating horse shoes. Campers finished the day by watching an Arabian horse run like the wind and a trick-trained horse lie down on command and answer even their toughest questions.

Horses For Happiness was created to share the love of horses with kids who would not otherwise be able to include horses in their life. It is supported entirely by donations, including the donation of the riding portion of camp by Horsebound. Their lead trainer, Amy Holman, is amazing with kids, and their students volunteer each year to be “camp coaches” and help the campers with their horses. It may take a village to raise a child, but a village with horses will do a better job every time! Visit HorsesforHappiness.com; CenterforChildren.org; HorseBound.net. Courtesy photos.

RUGS

rugs for more than 50 years, inheriting a number from his own family and purchasing many from Golden Rugs. “I have come in contact with many rug dealers through the years and without question the Mikaeli family has been the best of them all by far,” he said.

“They are generous and highly knowledgeable and take a sincere interest in their clients and their needs. They never pressure and as such create long-term relationships,” Khoury said.

The family has experience in all kinds of Oriental rugs, pay top dollar for trade-in rugs, provide financing, offer free shipping out-of-state, provide storage and carry modern and antique kilims.

Besides dealing in rugs, the Mikaeli family has expertise in cleaning and repairing, as well as appraising rugs and educating clients about a rug’s origins.

“It’s important that clients understand the levels of workmanship as well as how rugs differ from one region of the world to another in both quality and design,” Mikaeli explained.

“We feel it is essential to inform our clients about various rugs when they make their purchase, because the more informed the client, the easier it will be to find the right rug for their needs,” he added.

Khoury had praise for the Mikaeli family’s honesty and integrity. “They give you a straight and reliable explanation,” he said. “These traits are not often found in this business and I cannot more highly recommend the family and their establishment.”

North Coast Fellowship offers bilingual programs North Coast Fellowship offers its programs in English and Spanish, including Sunday worship and Thursday Bible study. By doing this, it builds relationships with those whose work involves community projects that are beneficial in serving all needs of North County’s residents.

All “community-minded” groups are welcome at NCF. For example, on Wednesday mornings, the spacious Community Hall is used by different Christian men’s and women’s groups for fellowship. After these, The Art of Healing Heroes organization leads two therapeutic drawing programs.

Having heard about many of the programs being offered, Shawn McClondon’s nonprofit Youth Campaigns is looking into partnering with NCF in reaching Hispanic teens of Eden Gardens and greater Solana Beach. Youth Campaigns is a beacon for high school students who have trouble seeing their future. Youth Campaigns’ current program, Finding Voices, teaches disadvantaged youth how to discover their narrative and to use social media to develop a platform to amplify that narrative for career advancement, entrepreneurial endeavors and to create change within themselves or their communities.

The Thursday evening (7:30 p.m.) Bible study conducted in English is gaining more attendees each week. It’s heart-warming to see your spiritual brothers and sisters coming after work from the 78 corridor, Temecula and as far away as Tijuana. NCF welcomes all families and individuals to join in an evening of enlightenment and festivities afterward.

KC and the Sunshine Band opens County Fair’s music offerings

BY GLORIA LIMAS It’s his ninth appearance at the fair in Del Mar, and Harry Wayne “KC” Casey, founder of KC and the Sunshine Band, still gets everyone to “get down tonight.” KC and the Sunshine Band was the opening act for the San Diego County Fair this year.

He brought down the house with his classic vocals and funky dance moves. Ten musicians and four dancers were part of his complement on stage, along with a rainbow light show and smoke scenes throughout the 90-minute show.

Many of the concertgoers were from Del Mar, Carmel Valley and surrounding beach communities. But others traveled from as far away as Nevada and Arizona to hear the “Boogie Man.” A family even made the trek from Australia, fearing it might be the last time they saw the legendary singer.

When asked how he has maintained a musical career in the spotlight for over four decades, the singer replied, “For me it’s all about the music. I perform for the love of the music and not so much about the lining of the pockets. I have to feel rich in the heart. You have to, in order to have been doing this for as long as I have.”

Del Mar Fairgrounds Board President Fred Schenk said KC has become a name associated with the fair, alongside other key acts such as Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

“KC and the Sunshine Band are a staple when one thinks about musical acts and the fair,” he said. “We are very pleased to have him back again this year.” He adds that KC typically closes the fair with a July 4 performance.

The music icon had four wardrobe changes throughout the night and closed with a song from his upcoming album to be released in phases this year. His last came out in 2013 titled, “Essential.” He announced he is working on a first-ever holiday album due out this November. That’s the way “uh-huh, uh-huh, he likes it!”

Class of 2015 returns to Carmel Creek Elementary, where it all began

BY KAREN BILLING A few days before they were set to graduate from high school and embark on a whole new adventure, a group of seniors from the class of 2015 retuned to their Carmel Creek Elementary roots for a reunion.

Students remarked on how little everything looked in the school, and how much they had changed from the photos in their 2003 kindergarten yearbook. They gave warm hugs to former teachers in attendance — as Principal Terri Davis said, while the kids had all grown up, the teachers could recognize the familiar sparkle in their eyes.

Davis read a letter from the students’ former teacher, Dawn Garapich-Butler, who is battling cancer and was unable to attend.

“This class was one of my all-time favorites,” Garapich-Butler wrote. “This was one of the most sensitive, compassionate, caring and creative group of students I’ve ever taught and we just had so much fun together.”

The event was organized by Torrey Pines High senior Mackenzie Bath, who encouraged everyone to come wearing a shirt that represented where they were headed in the fall and to come armed with a memory from their days as a Carmel Creek Cougar.

Many students remembered the fun of Gold Rush Days, attempting to play the recorder and sounding horrible, and the foot charms earned in running club.

“The only time I ever got detention was throwing dirt clots at you, Nick (Anderson), so

I’m sorry,” said Alex Maloney, who is headed to University of Wisconsin.

While several of the boys will be together at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, a couple will be at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Kailee Brashears and Katie Buhai will head south to the University of Alabama (“Roll Tide”), the majority of students were striking out on their own all over the country.

Students were headed to UC Santa Barbara, Indiana University, University of Washington, University of Arizona and University of Utah, and Manhattanville College in New York.

Camille Oemcke will play volleyball at Boston College; Eric Chen will study biomedical engineering at Yale University.

Teachers shared their memories of the class and gave advice for the future, such as to find something they love and to simply “be great.”

“Enjoy these last few moments with each other, they are very special,” Davis said.

“There is a level of trust you have with someone you’ve grown up with … This is your family.”

Teacher Katherine Orrell offered the most important piece of advice given at most Carmel Creek reunions: “Call your mom.”

Attendees also had the opportunity to say goodbye to beloved teachers retiring this year, including Principal Terri Davis, Jeff Montag, Maureen Barney, Dana Gunning, Joanne Haines and Shirley Geise.

Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies.

Americans who the survey, Of A i h responded d d tto th nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking.

But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and antilock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents.

While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions.

And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a

thatt h helps drivers gain ffeature t th l d i i control t l over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today.

Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety.

Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced.

Lane departure warning systems Driving while tired is unfortunately all

butt ttechnology ttoo common, b h l llike ik llane departure warning systems can helpdrivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury.

Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed.

But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly.

Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

Father’s Day: Manly foods for all ages and stages

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Men as a subspecies generally have different moving and non-moving parts from women, along with thought processes and stress coping mechanisms.

These need to be fueled by specific nutritional requirements. With Father’s Day around the corner, here’s a primer on the best foods for all dads, whether young and strapping or elderly and spry. And yes, real men do eat quiche (made with freerange organic eggs, of course).

Power Tools for 20s and 30s Young men need to maintain their muscle mass and high-energy levels to keep pace with the stresses of college, launching a career and chasing active toddlers.

Twentysomethings usually eat on the fly, and typically don’t get enough fruits and veggies (corn chips and ketchup don’t count).

Bananas have a lot of appeal, as they are portable and give a quick energy boost, along with a motherlode of potassium and vitamin B-6 to temper the nerves, reduce heart rate

and blood pressure, and amp up the immune system (particularly important when exposed to little human Petri dishes).

In addition, during these peak reproductive years, zinc is a high-octane mineral needed to ratchet up sperm count. Low-cal, high-protein mollusks, particularly oysters, the food of fantasy and legend, are a good pick for boosting romance, fertility and family size. For non-pescavores, vitamin C-rich oranges, grapefruits and stone fruits have also been found to increase fertility.

Hammer and Chisel for 40s As men reach their 40s, metabolism decreases, and the body is not as forgiving as in the decades before when pizza, beer and bratwurst were the default foods causing little or no collateral damage.

Consequently, weight gain hits at this stage, along with Type 2 diabetes and cardiac risks.

Healthy food choices are key at this juncture, but that doesn’t mean he has to feel deprived. Depending upon activity levels, a man in his 40s should ideally consume between 2,200 and

The Kitchen Shrink

3,000 calories a day.

Lean poultry (turkey or chicken breast), whole grains (brown rice, wholewheat breads and pastas), along with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables will provide the protein, mineral and vitamin requirements for balance, energy, stamina and weight control.

This is also the age burdened with stressful career and financial demands, along with teenage hormonal insanity in the household, translating to an increased risk of high blood pressure.

Swap out sodium in dishes and replace with savory herbs and spices, from parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme to chili, turmeric, cayenne, cinnamon and ginger.

There’s more. Men at this stage should also boost lutein intake, including dark leafy greens, especially kale and spinach, and egg yolks to ward off age-related macular degeneration and cataracts common in later years.

Nuts and Bolts for 50s As men chug into their 50s, while prostate swells, libido shrinks. For the former, lycopene powerhouses, including tomatoes, watermelon and guava, are warriors to protect the family jewels by putting the skids on prostate cancer. This Herculean antioxidant also has protective effects against notorious pancreatic cancer, more common in men than women.

Cooking tomatoes releases even more lycopene than eating them raw, so make a pot of mighty marinara. And since lycopene is also fat-soluble, eat it with some healthy fat like a drizzle of olive oil or slices of buffalo mozzarella.

As for the latter problem, many choice foods have been found to rev up sex drive, including spinach, tea and multi-purpose watermelon, a behemoth beauty that not only dials up prostate health, but recent studies have shown it to be Mother Nature’s Viagra, packed with citrulline, a phytonutrient that relaxes

Try Alpha-Male Banana Salsa with Dad’s favorite chips. blood vessels similar to the little blue pill.

Vintage Parts for 60s Guys over 60 should eat optimally to keep the heart humming, brain cells and joints well-lubed, and the constitution regular. Amp up omega-3 fatty acids; best sources are cold-water fish, especially wild-caught salmon, herring and sardines along with shellfish and vegetarian sea treasures, such as various seaweeds.

Men at this stage should also fiber up with at least 50 grams a day. This will not only get the colon to function smoothly, but also lower cholesterol levels, and the risk of developing heart disease and assorted cancers.

ALPHA-MALE BANANA SALSA 2 1/2 cups bananas, sliced, ripe yet firm 2 tablespoons amber honey 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped 1/2 yellow or orange pepper, diced Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste Method: In a glass bowl, blend ingredients.

Francisco, the summer before his senior year. The exhibit featured the unusual pairing of ancient art and contemporary art and emphasized the ways a work grabs a viewer’s attention.

Alex said the exhibit was influential — more about people’s reactions to art, and how people look and think about what they are seeing.

With “Hide and Seek,” Alex said he wants to focus on artists’ original abstractions, “reemphasize the links abstraction has held with an artist’s intuition and experimentation,” and the decisions they make to express them.

“I wanted to bring it back to my first experience with art, which is seeing and looking,” said Alex, who wrote all of the wall texts to accompany the pieces. The wall text, he said, “focuses on materiality, what the art is made out of instead of heavy-based theory. Not to discredit theory, but I’m interested in what the artist wants to say and what I want to say as a curator.”

He developed a 20-page booklet to accompany the show, designed and photographed

by Grace Bruton, a Falconer staff photographer. The booklet features artist biographies and photos of their works. Because Alex didn’t want anything to stop people from attending his show, he arranged for the booklets to be printed for free, covered by Charlie Affourtit of the Stephen Gould Corporation.

The space at Woodbury used to be a factory, now repurposed as a 30-foot-by-50-foot gallery space with 14-foot-tall ceilings. The space is huge compared with his last setting, so he had Canyon Crest Academy student Joseph Hwang help him build a scale model maquette with the artworks on Velcro so he could map out how he wanted the exhibit to look.

He will be doing the installation on June 20 with help from Drei Kiel, an art handler from the Quint Gallery.

The opportunity to show at Woodbury was made possible by a connection with Miki Iwasaki, an architect he interviewed for his documentary.

All of Alex’s art connections have been made in just a short time by a high school student motivated by the “What’s your backup plan?” question he is asked when he tells people he wants to study art history. Persistence, he said, is the only way he knows to get what he wants.

“There’s so much to learn,” said Alex, who will attend Williams University in the fall with an economics double major. “My end goal is to do something in the arts.”

This is likely not a pipe dream.

“Hide and Seek” will remain open for three weeks after the June 27 opening with viewings by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, email ajen@mcasd.org.

Five powerhouse mother-daughter real estate teams share their success secrets

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage launches enhanced Concierge Website

Working with members of your family often seems to have its challenges, for a number of reasons. It can either be the start of an incredible partnership or can potentially damage some of your closest relationships.

Just when you think pulling it off would be impossible, five mom-daughter real estate teams from Willis Allen Real Estate prove otherwise. These daughters were inspired to follow their mother’s careers and took it one step further by forming strong teams together. Here, each team shares their insight on how they manage to maintain a healthy and loving bond while successfully taking on the competitive real estate world here in San Diego.

Mother: Cristina Gee Daughter: Summer Crabtree One of the influences that drove Crabtree to join the same career as her mother is seeing firsthand how she was able to spend time with family while still maintaining a thriving career. Gee loves working with both buyers and sellers, as well as helping friends and new clients find the perfect home. This powerhouse team has established credibility in the real estate community by being honest and trustworthy.

In their spare time, both enjoy spending quality time with family and experiencing the outdoors.

Mother: Nancy Anderson Daughter: Jennifer Anderson In the home of the Andersons, family dinners did not consist of typical conversations; their discussions involved negotiation strategies, communication styles, marketing techniques, market trends and most important, how to foster impactful client relationships.

“Instinctively we know each other’s strengths and who will take the lead. We have found that through the transaction process, no detail is left unaddressed, which ultimately provides the best experience for our clients.”

Mother: Sandy Collins Daughter: Wendy Collins Wendy Collins was inspired to follow her mother’s career footsteps and knew it was only a matter of time until she would pursue a career in this industry, too.

Sandy Collins said her daughter and she are able to really help homeowners go through their homes and make decorating changes to get a quick sale and the maximum sales price. “We really work together to help the seller achieve their goals, whatever that may be,” she said.
