Cell towers on high school district sites to be discussed in futureBY KAREN BILLING

San Dieguito Union High School Dis-trict Superintendent Ken Noah remarked at the Aug. 16 meeting that the district has tak-en a lot of criticism about the process they went through on the proposal to place cell tower arrays on the Canyon Crest Academy campus.

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

Noah said there are some things in the handling of the cell tower issue that they would’ve done differently in hindsight but others they might have done the same. Their previous experience hadn’t shown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY KAREN BILLINGThe Del Mar Union School District has

formed committees to develop objectives and action steps regarding how groups like Del Mar Schools Education Foundation and PTAs can work to meet their goals while sup-porting the district mission.

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

“Strategic Planning Action Teams” will meet in September and October: “A Funding Action Team” and an “External Relations Action Team,” both with representatives from DMSEF and PTA.

A board workshop will be held in No-vember to share the action items that come

out of the planning teams.The process also hopes to clean up the

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

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

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

Six candidates running for three seats on Solana Beach City Council

Change is coming to the Solana Beach City Council: Six candidates will vie for three seats on the council in the Nov. 6 election.

The candidates include Vicki Driver, Paul Frankel, incumbent Lesa Heebner, Daniel Powell, Peter Zahn and David Zito, according to city documents.

Solana Beach Mayor and longtime council member Joe Kellejian has already announced he will not seek re-election, and Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts is running for a seat on the County Board of Supervisors (District 3).

Zito, 45, is a software architect. Zahn, 56, is an attorney and business owner. Heebner, 57, is a designer (in addition to being a current city council member). Driver is a research scientist (she did not list her age on city documents). Frankel, 55, is a business owner. Pow-ell, 53, is a business owner.

BY CLAIRE HARLINDel Mar native Rachel Buehler, also known as “the Buehldozer,” was honored with a

proclamation on Aug. 20 by the Del Mar City Council for her Olympic gold medal-winning participation on the U.S. women’s national soccer team at the 2012 London Olympics.

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

“With all of Rachel’s athletic accomplishments on the soccer field her most noticeable quality is that of her heart,” read Mayor Carl Hilliard from the official proclamation. “Whether it is on the soccer field or in the classroom, or with neighbors or friends, what makes Rachel unique is the heart that she brings to all that she does.”

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

Del Mar council approves removal of 80-foot Torrey PineAn 80-foot endangered Torrey Pine tree in Del Mar will soon be tagged for removal, af-

ter a local conservationist who works to save rainforests won a permit to remove it from his 15th Street home.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I have to say that we’ve found a lot of [seniors] are really not prepared,” Kerridge said. DMCC has identified five types of disaster and educates “buddy neighbors” about what

to do in the case something happens. Neighbors have been very responsive and have even agreed to take participants to evacuation centers if needed.

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

“It’s all falling into place really well,” Kerridge said.For more information, visit www.dmcc.cc. — Claire Harlin

New Del Mar Schools Education Foundation President planning variety of fundraising efforts

BY KAREN BILLINGNew Del Mar Schools Educa-

tion Foundation President Amy Ca-terina hopes to help the fundrais-ing organization make big strides this year and she means that liter-ally. One of her plans for this year’s efforts includes a community-wide 5K race in December, getting the community out running to support district’s extended studies curricu-lum of art, music, PE, science and technology.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“While I was recovering, I could only think about my

children, not my job or my career,” Caterina said. “ And when I recovered, I knew that I wanted to do something meaningful for them. And helping DMSEF raise more mon-ey for education was my meaningful action.”

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

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

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

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

“It did give her an advantage. It’s also an advantage in art class, she knew what a horizon line was and perspec-tive,” Caterina said. “She said it gave her much more confi-dence in terms of being successful in high school programs. I think probably that’s the message that’s most important.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Caterina is very excited about the new foundation board members.

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

The board includes Rand Steiger, a UCSD music profes-sor representing Del Mar Hills; Dr. Richard Moon, a Kaiser Permanente physician representing Sycamore Ridge; Ying Yang, a certified project management professional represent-ing Carmel Del Mar; and David Wojtkowski, a commercial pilot representing Carmel Del Mar.

Carolyn Hawley serves as the new vice president of marketing, Wojtkowski is treasurer, Deborah Finucane is sec-retary, Yang is vice president of administration, Branden Bel-forf is vice president of electronic communications,Glenn Collins is vice president of affinity and Colleen Guiltinan is the office administrator.

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

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

New director takes helm at UC San Diego Moores Cancer CenterBY SHELLI DEROBERTIS

Developing personalized cancer treat-ment is just one specialty Scott M. Lippman, M.D., 57, brings to his new job as director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. As he circles back to his California roots after de-cades of exten-sive cancer re-search in Texas, Lippman brings to the center, years of experience in clinical trials.

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

He said he figured he would study medi-cine for a few years while he competed in the sport, his passion. Ultimately, he com-pleted his medical degree from Johns Hop-kins University.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Moores has a huge influx of patients. It needs cancer-centric leadership,” he said. “Dr. Lippman has a lot of experience dealing with what’s happening now with cancer.”

Scott M. Lippman, M.D., became the new director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center in May.

debt burden than other bond structures of finan-cial alternatives. Addition-ally, any issuance has to have the approval of a Cit-izens Bond Oversight Committee, “no changes made in the dark of night without public knowl-edge,” Dill said.

The policy also states that the district will use realistic assumptions for growth in assessed values, not “pie in the sky” esti-mates, Dill said.

Should the bond mea-sure pass, the district will begin upgrading technolo-gy and repairing older schools using today’s low interest rates and con-

struction costs and avoid methods that result in un-reasonably high interest ratios.

The policy will be on the website for people to easily find the district’s position on CABs.

“Our policies are al-ways front and center on the website where people can find them,” Dill said.

Last week, a kickoff meeting was held for the new group promoting No-vember’s bond, Friends of San Dieguito Schools, Yes on AA. Brad Shoen, a for-mer president of the Tor-rey Pines High School Foundation, has taken the lead as chair.

The group includes nine representatives from each of the district’s school sites.

goals. “I’m much less inter-ested in terms of my con-tract than I am about the quality of the relationship between the board and my-self.”

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

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

Trustee Joyce Dalessan-

dro said that however his statements may sound to the public, the board is happy with him as the su-perintendent. He recently went through his evalua-tions and received an out-standing review, she said.

“His work for this dis-trict has been tremendous and invaluable,” Dalessan-dro said. “We’re hoping he’ll be with us for many years to come.

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

A motive for the crime was unknown.

``At this time, we don’t know if he was a vic-

tim of a random attack or whether he was targeted,’’ Nesbit said.

A neighbor told U-T San Diego that Gerber had health problems that caused him to suspend his medical practice, leading to financial

problems. Gerber’s $1.6 million

home had been foreclosed on and another house he owned in Solana Beach was foreclosed on in 2009, U-T San Diego reported. Gerber filed for bankruptcy in De-cember and the case was dis-charged in April, according to the paper.

Nesbit said sheriff’s offi-cials were aware of the vic-tim’s financial issues.

``We are digging into that, but we don’t have enough to say at this point whether it is or isn’t related to those issues,’’ Nesbit said.

Sheriff’s officials asked anyone with information on Gerber’s death to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321, after hours at (858) 565-5200 or to contact Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Aug. 15, the district will open the school year with 196 classrooms, down from last year’s 199. There is one less classroom at Del Mar Hills, Ashley Falls and Sycamore Ridge. While there is one less classroom, it doesn’t mean there are less stu-dents, he said.

While last year the dis-trict only had one combina-tion class (when grades are combined), it is looking at opening with five combina-tion classes at Ashley Falls, Carmel Del Mar, Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Hills and Ocean Air.

“My feeling is the more the merrier,” Caterina said.

Last school year the foundation raised $1.17 mil-lion for the district, achiev-ing the highest parent-led donation level in the foun-dation’s history. Caterina said she would like to thank the outgoing board mem-bers who made the feat pos-sible: President Drew Isaac-man, Bob Shopes (vice presi-dent and Del Mar Hills rep), Claire Lemon (secretary and Torrey Hills rep), Erin Mor-gan (treasurer and Torrey Hills rep), Amy Duncan (Del Mar Heights rep), Debby Ro-mine (Sycamore Ridge rep), Paula Moore (vice president of marketing) and Beth Folkerth (Carmel Del Mar rep).

said.This year’s addition of

Option Areas for atten-dance has had a positive ef-fect, he said. So far 12 stu-dents have opted to go to Ashley Falls from the Sage Canyon and Sycamore Ridge option area, 11 stu-dents opted for Carmel Del Mar from the Del Mar area and 56 students have opted out of Ocean Air to attend Sage Canyon and Torrey Hills, helping offset the crowded campus.

The district’s goal re-mains to keep students in their neighborhood schools without involuntary trans-fers but at last week’s meet-ing, 21 new students are impacted by involuntary transfers.

BY ROB LEDONNESolana Beach resident Torrey Mercer

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I hate that people sometimes associate with charity just for their own gain, the fo-cus should be on the charity. I’m all about these causes because I have really close friends who’ve been through hard times that these charities support,” said Mercer, who is also active in anti-bullying efforts. Last summer she went on a cross-country bus tour to perform her positive message tracks, and recently spoke at Balboa Elemen-tary concerning anti-bullying as well.

Between school, performing gigs, the theater schedule at Irvine, and other jobs, Mercer admits she rarely has any free time. “Most kids my age work all through the week and party on the weekend. But instead of partying, I’m doing shows whenever I’m not at school or working.” All of that hard work seems to be paying off, one of her big-gest highlights so far was performing the na-tional anthem before a Chargers game in front of an excess of 50,000 people.

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

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

San Diego attorney and local resident Dick Semerdjian sworn in as chair of American Bar Association Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section

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

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

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

trum of civil law and practice.“It’s an honor to take this position,” Semerdjian said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Local resident’s Bergum Foundation ‘makes a difference one person at a time’

BY KATHY DAYBelinda Bergum likes

doing her own thing and right now that “thing” is giving back through the foundation she established two years ago.

Always one who helped out, she started before her five children were born by putting together holiday baskets and gifts for families on a small scale. Today she runs the Bergum Founda-tion, which has a mission “to make a difference one person at a time, and help those who have a desire for education. The ultimate goal is to create a platform for growth in academic achieve-ment and improve the in-tegrity of our society,” ac-cording to its website www.bergumfoundation.org.

“I love to help people who are trying to reach their educational goals but do not have the financial means to do so,” she said in a recent interview.

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

she said she “has always had a heart to give.”

“It’s more about help-ing the underprivileged,” she said, adding that she likes “helping at a smaller level” — providing laptops or tutors or covering SAT prep classes or even prom dresses or senior pictures — for teens who were trying hard but didn’t have the wherewithal to spend on such things.

“I enjoy it because when I was growing up I didn’t have those opportu-nities,” Bergum said. Now that she is fortunate enough to be able to give back and has the contacts to help her, “this is a given.”

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

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

Having the large inven-tory, she and friends Dena Reyes, now the executive as-sistant, and Susan Latini-Powell decided to set up a sort of “shop” where low-in-come middle and high

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

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

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

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

This year they also are inviting girls to email them directly at [email protected]. The event is set for Aug. 26.

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

Now, though, she’s fo-cused on building another

Organization helps those who ‘have a desire for education’

of their programs, “Finish Strong.” Each year they select students with potential and give them financial support for their academic needs.

“I am super fired-up about it,” Bergum said. “With funding cuts for the AVID pro-grams, many students will need tutors or help with preparing for the SATs.”

They have identified students through counselors at local high schools and Ber-gum’s sons have also suggested friends who they have seen struggling with finances. They also accept applications from students directly through the website.

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

One of the Bergum Foundation’s proj-ects, “Little Voices,” aims to provide cloth-ing, shoes, hygiene supplies and school sup-plies for Guatemalan children.

The organization, a registered 501(c)3

nonprofit, is relation-ship-oriented, its found-er said.

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

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

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

Learn more at bergumfoundation.org; 858-481-1401. Email Bergum if you or some-one you know could benefit from Fitting In at [email protected]. Apply for Finish Strong academic support at bergum-foundation.org and click on ‘application.’

San Dieguito Union High School District announces policy for free and reduced-price meals

DMCC will also offer various activities in the building, such as “Brain Fitness” and “Computer Tutoring,” as well as Dr. Mark Kalina’s popular twice-monthly Senior Health Forum. In addition to a large conference room, the building in-cludes a computer lab, kitchen area and a reception lounge; spaces avail-able to community groups by advance reservation.

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

ant restroom. Numerous volunteers and volunteer groups, as well as assis-tance from City of Del Mar staff, have come together to help give the build-ing a facelift.

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

‘Alt.pictureshows’ marks its 10th year screening shorts in La JollaBY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT

The San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art’s short film fest, alt.pictureshows, will celebrate its 10th anni-versary on Thursday, Aug. 30 with close to 30 thought-provoking, funny, and rarely seen shorts from around the world at Sher-wood Auditorium, 700 Pros-pect St.

Part film festival and part art happening, the event will also feature some of the greatest alt.hits of the past decade — that is, some of the personal favorites of MCASD film curator Neil Kendricks, who started alt.pictureshows in 2003, when he was a grad student in Television, Film and New Media at SDSU.

“From the beginning, I wanted this to be an alter-native to the multiplexes,” Kendricks said. “I wanted people to see things they wouldn’t get to see any-where else, films that are personal statements, not just calling cards.”

Kendricks mostly scouts out films and film-makers at the annual Sun-dance Film Festival, a world-famous showcase at the institute founded 30

years ago by Robert Redford to encourage new voices in American film. Since alt.pictureshows is pretty much budget-less, it’s not easy to get filmmakers to submit their work for a one-night stand in La Jolla. Participa-tion is by invitation only, and Kendricks does his best to assemble films that share “a common sensibility or atmosphere.”

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

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

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

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

Kendricks, who is cur-rently at work on a feature–length documentary, “Com-ics Are Everywhere,” which chronicles the creative jour-neys of several comic-cre-ators, will show his own three-minute “Loop” as one of the Greatest Hits. “Loop,” which Kendricks describes, as “a cinematic poem about a man who is literally out of synch with his environment,” is the shortest of the evening’s shorts, and was first screened at the first alt.show 10 years ago.

The evening’s longest short is one of Kendricks’ favorites: Lucy Walker’s 39-minute Oscar-nominat-ed documentary, “The Tsu-nami and the Cherry Blos-som,” an extraordinary look at the aftermath of the Japa-nese earthquake and tsuna-mi in 2011. “It’s lyrical and profoundly poignant with-out being depressing,” he said.

Other highlights: • “Tooty’s Wedding,”

by British filmmaker Freder-ic Casella, a comedy of er-rors about a hapless couple attending a worst-case-sce-nario wedding;

• Benh Zeitlin’s “Glory at Sea,” a 25-minute test run for the themes of his celebrated feature, “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” an apocalyptic fantasy which took top awards at Sun-dance and Cannes this year and is currently showing in local theaters;

• Anna Musso’s touch-ingly compassionate “L Train.”

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

‘Manufacturing Stoke’ headlines 2012 Del Mar Shores Cinema SeriesBY ROB LEDONNE

Pierce Kavanagh loves surfing and filmmaking, so it only makes sense he’d combine his two passions. Kavanaugh is just one of the filmmakers showcased dur-ing the upcoming Del Mar Shores Cinema Series taking place Sept. 7-8, two free nights of entertainment tak-ing place at Del Mar Shores Park (located on 9th and Stratford Ct.) All of the films shown are centered on na-ture, and include the Drew Barrymore feature film “Big Miracle” about whale rescue, as well as “Salmon Theory,” which chronicles winter surfing in New Hampshire.

Kavanagh’s film, titled “Manufacturing Stoke,” is a look at the sustainability of the surf industry, a subject Kavanaugh knows well. Growing up in La Jolla, Ka-vanagh has an abiding love for Southern California. “It’s just beautiful here. I grew up on the beach, and when I was a little kid I used to run around with boogie boards which grew into a love for the ocean and surfing.” That love manifested into Kava-nagh spending all of his free time in his formative years

in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s surfing and skating, leaving time for little else. “I really wasn’t thinking of my future, and was just working at restaurants and odd jobs. I realized later I couldn’t do that for the rest of my life.”

In 2000, Kavanaugh started attended classes at UCSD and UCSB, studying filmmaking, and got to know a handful of like-minded peers, all of whom currently make up his pro-duction company Misfit Pic-tures, (which is behind “Manufacturing Stoke”).

“ I recruited my really good friends I went to film

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

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

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

What started out as a short film exploded into a two-hour plus movie (which has since been cut down to 80 minutes) highlighting a variety of people talking about surf sustainability. “The project snowballed be-cause there’s a wealth of conversation on this topic,” Kavanagh explained. “We wanted to investigate what’s really going on. If [a large company] is making mil-lions of t-shirts every year for surfers, why not make them [environmentally friendly?]. It’s members of the surf industry taking a look inward. It’s a way more toxic environment then you would believe.”

The crew, who worked pro bono, shot up and down the California coast, includ-ing right here at the Torrey Pines and Del Mar beaches. “The first day we actually shot was at Torrey Pines,” says Kavanagh, who also filmed a time-lapse sequence at dawn above Scripps which is included in the movie.

Audience feedback from

the film thus far has been overwhelmingly positive: “It’s been incredible; I’ve had people come up to me after screenings and hug me crying. No one was brave enough to tell the truth, though this isn’t an expose and we didn’t want to go out and grill anyone.” How-ever, one faction that didn’t like the film was that of the large surf companies which the film takes a critical look at: “We’ve had a couple of negative responses from

them, but that’s to be ex-pected.”

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

For local filmmaker, green living and surfing collideThe third annual Del

Mar Shores Cinema Se-ries returns the first weekend after Labor Day (Friday and Saturday, Sept. 7-8) for two free movie nights at Del Mar Shores Park (9th St. and Stratford Ct.). The Cine-ma Series kicks off Sept. 7 at sunset (around 7:30 p.m.).

Education Matters/OpinionState mandate providing separate class for ‘young fives’ takes effectBY MARSHA SUTTON

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

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

The move is gradual. This year, kindergartners must turn 5 by Nov. 2, next year by Oct. 2, and in 2014 by Sept. 1.

To better prepare young kindergartners, the law also mandates transitional kin-dergarten – this year for those 5-year-olds with birth-days in Nov., next year for 5-year-olds with birthdays in Oct. and Nov., and in 2014 and thereafter for stu-dents turning 5 in Sept., Oct. and Nov.

According to Simitian, the TK legislation “build[s] a bridge between early learn-ing and kindergarten using a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropri-ate.” Many experts cite re-search indicating that be-ginning school at an older age improves children’s so-cial and academic develop-ment.

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

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

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

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

to. Brown lost. In March

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

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

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

Basic AidFor all three local ele-

mentary school districts – Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe – the 2012-2013 school year, including TK, begins Monday, Aug. 27.

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

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

TK was primarily de-signed to help children from low-income families for whom kindergarten may be their first educational ex-perience.

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

But for Basic Aid dis-tricts which generally have

Marsha Sutton

a higher proportion of fami-lies that send their young children to two, three and even four years of preschool before entering kindergar-ten, TK is superfluous.

On the other hand, be-cause TK offers a free alter-native to another year of preschool for kids with fall birthdays, TK could repre-sent an increase in the num-ber of students Basic Aid dis-tricts serve, contradicting one of Simitian’s founda-tional claims and confound-ing enrollment predictions.

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

In a bindThe three local elemen-

tary districts approached TK differently, but all some-what reluctantly.

First to prepare for the new grade level in earnest, back in April, was the Sola-na Beach School District. SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch said the district dis-tributed notices to local community newspapers in June and July announcing the availability of a TK class for Solana Beach families, and information has been available for months on the district’s Web site: http://sbsd.schoolwires.net/Page/837.

In addition, Lynch said SBSD communicated TK in-formation through school newsletters, school secretar-ies, the schools’ parent-teacher groups, and the So-lana Beach Foundation for Learning leadership.

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

Lynch said the TK pro-gram for SBSD will cost about $3,900 – mostly for furniture and curriculum. No additional teacher was hired for TK, she said, “since the students who turn 5 in November are now in TK rather than kindergarten.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Del MarThe Del Mar Union

School District, even as late as two weeks ago, was not offering TK.

“At this time, DMUSD does not plan to offer transi-tional kindergarten for the 2012-13 school year,” read the DMUSD Web site through the first half of Au-gust. The district was, how-ever, offering a fee-based “Pre-K Plus” program.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“We actively solicited information regarding stu-dents with November birth-days last spring at school sites and have been receiv-

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

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

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

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

Hidden costsLocal districts will not

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

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

Lynch’s point is well-taken. Transitional kinder-garten adds another year of schooling that elementary districts must provide.

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

The TK one-size-fits-all recipe doesn’t work for lo-cally funded Basic Aid dis-tricts, because TK was de-signed to help those chil-dren who enter kindergarten with no preschool to pre-pare them – a rarity locally.

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

Nevertheless, school districts have a duty to ac-tively alert parents of poten-tial TK students that a free transitional kindergarten program through their local school district is now avail-able – no matter how illogi-cal it may be for small, local-ly funded districts.

A good law for the right reasons works for some dis-tricts, but unintended con-sequences make this man-date a costly burden for oth-ers.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Regarding the issue of tobacco and marijuana smoking at the Del Mar Racetrack concerts, I agree with the concerns brought forward by members of public. The Del Mar Fair-grounds is public property, and we should view it as such when determining the types of concert bands that should play there. Different bands attract and create different be-havior. I see the Del Mar Fairgrounds akin to a park, but un-fortunately that gets lost at times.

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

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

Carson was trained as a scientist, and integrated his training for eight years when the focus of the school was research.

“But now, with the need to apply the research to can-cer, things are changing. Now we need to implement the clinical trials,” Carson said.

Mary Lippman said the timing is right for her hus-band to relocate for this next phase of his career.

“It’s a great time for on-cology to get the new beds that are coming with the new hospital,” she said. “Our family had many wonderful years in Texas, and it was a nice place to raise their three kids, but, I’m delighted to move to the San Diego area … and La Jolla … every once in a while, I feel like some-body will find out and send me back to Houston!”

Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D, assistant profes-sor of medicine in the divi-

sion of hematology-oncolo-gy and director of stem cell research at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center is also happy about Lippman’s ar-rival.

“As you know, we’d like to do clinical trials,” Jamie-son said. “So we were so ex-cited to get Dr. Lippman here; he’s very well known for his translational re-search.”

Lippman said it’s been fun for him, personally, to come back and reconnect with old friends he used to compete with in tennis. Some of them are Califor-nia’s best: John Holladay (USC), Larry Belinsky, founder of San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame, and Brian Teacher (UCLA).

“I got to know these people very well. It’s like I never left,” he said.

In a recent photo spread on the Safety Tower celebration event, “Midsummer Night of Fun and Frivolity,” it was stat-ed in the write-up that the event was hosted by the Friends of the Powerhouse and the Del Mar Lifeguards, which is cor-rect. However, one photo caption accidentally said the event was sponsored by the Del Mar Foundation, which is incor-rect.

Carmel Valley Dons Mitey Mite team takes the field in the Aloha Bowl.

The Carmel Valley Dons Mitey Mite football team opened its 2012 season on Aug. 18 by completing a thrilling come from be-hind 13-12 victory over the Clairemont Hawks. The game was part of the annual Aloha Bowl, hosted by the Clairemont Hawks Youth Football and Cheer and played at James Madison High.

The Dons’ halfback #11 Samson Fanua scored the game’s first touchdown on a 12-yard run midway through the first half. The Hawks then scored two touchdowns to take the lead. Finally, late in the 4th quarter, full-back #8 Jake Troxler scored a 15-yard game-tying touchdown, with quarterback #2 Aidan Stewart scoring the game-winning extra point. The Dons sealed the win with a last-minute defensive goal line stand. The Dons lineman #14 Eden Pinn was the game’s defen-sive star as he led the team in tackles.

The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football was formed in 2010 to create a highly competi-tive Division 1 football program in the Carmel Valley area aimed at preparing top athletes for high school football. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High foot-ball players, much of the team’s success can be attributed to the support of Cathedral Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola.

DMCV Sharks Girls U9 White team wins Attack Summer Classic Tournament

Congratulations to the Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks Girls U9 White team for winning the Attack Summer Classic Tournament. The girls beat the Avengers 2-1 in the finals. The tournament was held in San Diego from Aug. 18 - 19. The team is coached by Dustin Ham-mond.

(Above) Back row: Allie Luo, Maggie Watts, Olivia Mehran, Olivia Crosbie, Leonie Glaesner, Victoria Smitham and coach Dustin Hammond; Front row: Kimmy Elliott, Caroli-na Nelson and Paige Parker. Not pictured: Alexis Greene, Lizzy Hood and Bella Wilson.

San Diego Surf Girls U8 team tops at ClassicThe San Diego Surf Girls Under 8 won the West Coast Futbol Classic Under 8 Division

held in San Juan Capistrano during the weekend of Aug. 18-19. After winning their bracket, the team — under Coach Steveo Leacock — beat the South Bay Force Blue of Redondo Beach in the championship game 2-1. The team was led by forward Paige Buchner, who scored 7 goals and 4 assists throughout the weekend.

This win follows another championship win at Copa Del Mar Sharks Invitational the weekend of July 28-29. The Surf Girls U8 tied the Nado Select Girl U8 of Coronado in the last few minutes 1-1 of the final game to then clutch the tournament in penalty kicks 2-1. The Surf Girls Under 8 were also finalists at the Carlsbad Wave Coastal Classic held the weekend of Aug. 11-12.

“Great performance from the girls in the West Coast Classic,” said Coach Leacock. “Five games in two days in the heat was tough but we pulled through.”

And of the back-to-back wins, Leacock commented, “Playing three tournaments with two championship wins and just one loss during PKs in the finals is a great start for this team. It shows what is to come of them in the future.”

BY CLAIRE HARLINSeven lucky birds that were hatched

from eggs and raised in captivity are in for the feast of a lifetime — or rather, a lifetime of feasts.

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

The survival of the rare birds are now on the shoulders of the San Elijo La-goon Conservancy, and conservancy di-rector Doug Gibson said he hopes the progress made at the ecological site will contribute to the birds’ complete recov-ery.

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

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

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

On the peninsula of the lagoon, well over 30 stakeholders, scientists and local residents joined together to watch volun-teers and biologists put colored bands on the birds and release them in unison. Gibson said to keep your eyes peeled for the brown, long-legged bird on the la-goon, and if you notice a silver band on the left foot or a colored band on the other, contact the conservancy. Tracking the birds is a beneficial method in mea-suring the success of the reintroduction program.

BY CLAIRE HARLINDel Mar resident Wal-

ter Carlin has worn a num-ber of hats over the years. He has worked in market-ing for five different air-lines and he’s been an ac-tor, a public radio producer, a loan officer, an Army offi-cer, a SeaWorld tour guide and even a telemarketer. More recently, however, he’s been emerging himself in life as an author, and he recently released his second novel, “Beezlebub O’Brien, K Street War-rior.”

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

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

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

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

Carlin crafted his novel with the help of a writers’ group that meets at Thornton Hospital at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla. He said it took him about two years to write, and it’s been a success in online sales.

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

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

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

BY DIANA SAENGERSometimes it’s neces-

sary as a culture to take a journey back in history and further examine severe ac-tions that might have been avoided. That’s a tale The Old Globe Theatre tells in its world premiere of “Alle-giance: A New American Musical.”

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

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

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

ican interment that wasn’t widely circulated or told as far as American history was concerned,” she said. “Then when I got the script, I enjoyed the humor in it and also the music.”

“Allegiance” is a tradi-tional musical with music and lyrics by Jay Kuo and book by Marc Acito, Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. “It’s a mix. When the words peo-ple are saying gets too emotional, then the actors burst into song,” said Sa-longa, who has an impres-sive resume of theatrical work. In films she provided the singing voice for the character of Princess Jas-mine in the movies of

“Aladdin” and Fa Mulan in “Mulan.”

Her own talents not-withstanding, Salonga said she is humbled by her peers’ talent and finds Takei a pleasure to work with. “He’s revered on one hand, but on the other he’s just one of the boys. He has a great sense of humor. Not only is he an Asian-American Hollywood fig-urehead, but this story is personal to him.”

Takei and his family were among 120,000 Japa-nese Americans unjustly incarcerated in U.S. intern-ment camps at the out-break of World War II. It was hearing Takei’s recol-lections of his family’s sto-ry that inspired Kuo and Thione to create the story of the Japanese American internment.

“I get to stretch my acting muscles in this pro-duction, like when the mu-sical supervisor says some-thing like, ‘fight against the prettiness of the song and make it rougher, more conversational.’ It takes work to keep the emotional content intact, and the sto-rytelling of this poignant story is at the forefront of what we are doing here.”

Along with enjoying

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

“Here is an entire group of people who just because of their ancestry, are immediately tagged as the enemy. There’s a dia-logue in the show that re-fers to 9/11, in that if you have a Muslim last name or your parents are from a Muslin country, you’re im-mediately sensed as the en-emy. So this production re-ally speaks to that saying. ‘If you don’t know your history, you’re doomed to repeat it.”

BY KELLEY CARLSON

The experience at Taste of Thai is an opportunity to sample the exotic — from the decor to the cuisine.

Owned by Val Habbestad, a native of Thailand, and her husband, Art, their upscale Del Mar location is the newest and largest of the two restaurants they operate. The original site, in Hillcrest, was among the first Thai eateries in the San Diego area.

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

Guests are greeted by women in Thai costume, and seated in one of several areas. The modern dining room features Asian accents such as gold-leaf lotuses on the burgundy walls, a large ginkgo flower image inlaid in the floor, geometric patterns on the ceiling that change color, triangle-shaped windows and paper lanterns.

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

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

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

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

Mark recommends that first-timers try

one of several soups — Tom-Khar, Tom-Yum or Tofu — along with a curry and a noodle dish to balance out the meal. Taste of Thai is especially well known for its Spicy Noodles, with basil leaves, green pepper, chili, garlic and egg.

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

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

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

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

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

New Del Mar Highlands business shines spotlight on all things teaBY ROB LEDONNE

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

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

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

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

Says Bowman: “I love the fact that tea is

Jamie Howard, Leaf & Kettle co-owner

connected to cultures on a global scale. What’s in my cup can be directly traced to the source.”

The teas Leaf & Kettle sell, which are plentiful, could double as a geography les-son as some are from such faraway place as China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, and Africa, just to name a few. The United States is also represented, including bottled tea from a small company in Oregon. There are also a wealth of products for sale, most of which focus on making tea as accessible as possible. Their other mission is to demonstrate how healthy tea can be: “I like products that ben-efit people,” said Howard. “Tea can be trans-formative to people with health problems.” In addition, it’s also economical: “Unlike coffee, where you use the beans once and have to throw them away, tea can be brewed multiple times.”

Leaf & Kettle’s first week open wel-comed “much more traffic” than originally

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

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

San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center to hold Docent Open HouseA Docent Open House will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 3-5 p.m. at the San Elijo

Lagoon Nature Center. Enjoy refreshments and learn about the Conservancy’s education program. RSVP at [email protected].

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

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

Tables for 10 are $3,000. VIP Runway Lounge Seating for 10 is $5,000 at tasteatthecove.com or sdsmf.com.

A special free family music program sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be presented on Sat-urday, Sept. 1, at 1 p.m. in the library’s community room. It is titled “Shubham” to signify the auspicious combination of melody and joy that one experiences with Indian Carnatic music, the classical music predominant in Southern India that can be traced back to the ancient Vedas from the Indian scriptures. The program will include classical pieces from var-ious composers dating from the 15th century to modern times and rendered in different languages and musical forms. The ensemble will be led by vocalist Vaishnavi Rao. She will be accompanied by Smt. Anuradha Sundar playing the Vee-na, a melodic stringed instrument, and Yashes Srinivasan playing the Mridangam, a double-sided drum that keeps track of rhythm and beats.

Vaishnavi Rao is a senior at Canyon Crest Academy and a resident of Carmel Valley. She has had more than a decade of training in classical music vocals and has mastered a repertoire of more than a hundred and twenty five different com-positions across a broad spectrum of composers and ragas in multiple languages. She cur-rently trains with Chennai (India) based musician, Savita Narasimhan, who is the senior-most disciple of Chitraveena Shri. N. Ravikiran. She has performed as a soloist at various lo-cal and international events.

The library is located at 3919 Townsgate Drive in Carmel Valley. For further information call (858) 552-1668.

Surfers are invited to paddle for Daisy on Sept. 1 at 9 a.m. at Moonlight Beach in En-cinitas or the Oceanside Pier, 200 The Strand, for an organized paddle-a-thon to help raise money for the 8-year-old cancer-stricken granddaughter of world-renowned professional surfer Al Merrick. Daisy Love Merrick has undergone six surgeries for a recurring Wilms’ Tu-mor, 22 rounds of chemotherapy, and two courses of radiation. Her next surgery is expected to cost $500,000 and is not covered by insurance, according to media reports.

The cancer-fighting plans include a possible stem cell transplant. Her family is pursu-ing both traditional and progressive treatments in both America and Israel. To participate, invite friends to text “Daisy” to 56512 and donate $10. Bring a surfboard to the event, which is not a race or a long distance paddle.

Art of improv gets a boost from ‘Finest City’ foundersBY DAVID L. CODDON

Amy Lisewski “fell in love” with improv af-ter training with the Sec-ond City conservatory in Hollywood, and now she wants everyone else to love it, too.

That’s where Finest City Improv comes in.

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

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

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

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

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

themselves,” she said. But Lisewski does anticipate serious stu-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

gered because of habitat loss over time. More than 90 percent of Southern Cal-ifornia’s estuaries are gone, developed or forever al-tered, according to the con-servancy. Several attempts to develop the site, known as the Gateway Property

that lies between Cardiff and Solana Beach west of Interstate 5, have been thwarted by community ef-forts, among other resis-tance. Acquisition of the property was the first step in conserving it, and now a campaign is under way to pay back the generous local donors who made the near-

ly $4 million purchase pos-sible.

San Dieguito Cotillion teaches children ballroom dancing and the art of etiquette

Being in its 58th years of serving the youth of San Diego County, the San Dieguito Cotillion teaches not only dancing, etiquette and manners, but addresses many social skills and subjects in this forever changing world.

Etiquette is a staple of society and good manners are the hallmark of civility. The San Dieguito Cotillion is the stepping stone to achieve them.

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

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

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

Lilly’s Villa, a skilled elder-care assisted living home, is honored to announce the 102nd Birthday Celebration for Betty Allan, a dear friend and resident of our facility. Many members of her family will travel to La Jolla to join the celebration here at Lilly’s Villa on August 29, 2012.Every day we are blessed

to see her smile, feel her love and learn from her faith. When we ask her to share the secret of a long and beautiful life, her answer is always, “Just to be here every day.” She loves to spend long hours in our garden, feel the sun on her skin, and listen to the songs of our birds. She also enjoys telling us jokes and funny stories about her life. She adores her two children, Rick

and his wife, Juanette, of La Jolla, and Deborah of Hawaii. She talks with them every day and shares her happiness to hear their voices and share their company. Her son, Bruce, has passed away.

Betty and her husband, John, were members of La Jolla

Presbyterian Church and both sang in the choirs

Music has always been at the center of Betty’s life. After graduating from UCLA, Betty became part of a trio – The Rhythmettes.

They were popular background singers for

Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, Milton Berle, Bob Hope,

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, to name a few. The Rhythmettes also performed on the soundtrack of the Wizard of Oz and Betty was the voice of one of the Munchkins. In their earlier days, they sang in Disney’s Three Little Pigs and other musical cartoons. When she remembers all the years that she performed for large audiences, her beautiful, sparkly blue eyes have a new vivacity.

Thank you Betty for allowing all of us to be part of this special time in your life. With all our love, Liliana Binner Ph.D.

BY JULIE SARNOAt the mid-point in the

Del Mar race meet, the lead-ing owner is the Jay Em Ess Stable of Samantha Siegel. The Jay Em Ess owner is having remarkable racing success this summer. Her runners have won three stakes races in less than one month, two at Del Mar and one on the East Coast.

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

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

Include Me Out was the second Jay Em Ess run-ner to win a big race at the

2012 a winning summer for Jay Em Ess Stable owner

seaside oval. On Aug. 4, 4-year-old Include Me Out took the 1 1/16-mile Clem-ent L. Hirsch Stakes, a Grade 1 test for fillies and mares. Include Me Out is also in the Ellis barn.

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

Both stakes races are

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY CATHARINE KAUFMANIce cream has evolved

from its purist period of jerk-scooped service with mono-textures and limited flavors that could be counted on one hand with fingers left over to the present day ex-plosion of both the former and latter. Today the world of frozen treats accommo-dates practically every palate, dietary restriction, cultural tastes and gustatory fantasy imaginable. Here’s the scoop on the weird, wacky and wonderful line-up of icy bliss to help you chill for the dog days of summer:

Fabulous Frosty FreaksJapanese ice cream

makers handcraft exotic fla-

vors titillating those with a yen for culinary adventure, including shark fin noodle, raw horseflesh, saury fish, poisonous pit viper, ox tongue and octopus. And for more mainstream palates there’s wasabi, garlic, sesa-me, soybean and dried kelp. Sea Rocket Bistro in North Park concocts a creation reminiscent of the kitschy flavors from the Pacific west in its signature Sea Urchin gelato blended with laven-der sea salt, orange honey and candied ginger. Earlier this summer Carl Jr. was of-fering ice cream “brrrrg-ers”—trompe l’oeil ice cream sandwiches that mocked hamburgers. Chocolate ice cream replicated the patty, amaretto sugar cookies for the buns and ketchup, mus-tard and relish colored ga-nache for special effects.

Gelato Gone WildTraditional gelaterias

serve a smorgasbord of fla-vors from stracciatella (Ital-ian chocolate chip), tiramisu and Donatella (chocolate hazelnut) to lemon and mango sorbets. Reinventing the classic gelato flavors to excite spicy, herbal palates is Chuao Chocolatier (La Jol-la’s UTC, Del Mar Highlands and Encinitas Lumberyard)

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

Rachel King, pastry chef for Brian Malarkey’s hip fab-ric-named eateries around town has created frozen de-lectables starting with staple sundaes on each menu. Gabardine’s King Sundae smothers peanut butter ice cream with bananas, bacon, caramel sauce and whipped cream. Herringbone’s “Baked California” com-bines lemon cake with lem-on verbena frozen yogurt and blueberry sorbet envel-oped in toasted meringue.

While Burlap has a Mel-on Vacherin with watermel-on sorbet. Some of King’s from scratch made ice creams include Vietnamese Coffee, Olive Oil, Mascar-pone and Caramel Corn along with invigorating sor-bets of fig, mango chile and cherry balsamic.

An Ice Cream Walks into a Bar. . .

La Jolla’s frou-frou ice

cream boutique has raised the bar from the days of the Good Humor man’s pedestri-an offerings. Bardot’s designer ice cream bars are as sexy as they are scrumptious. These handmade luxury “love” bars are stamped with logos of lips and other kitschy im-ages in rich jewel tones or smothered in Belgian choco-late, and symbolically im-paled with hot little scarlet sticks. The Bardot Collection features such selections as “Italian Mob” coffee ice cream and chocolate covered coffee beans, and “First Love” of toasted pecan ice cream and chewy caramel, while the Classic Collection boasts “Acapulco Love,” with hand-picked manila mangos from farms in Guerrero Mexico, or “The French Kiss” with toast-ed almond ice cream swathed in milk chocolate.

Sustainable Sorbets If you visit farmer’s mar-

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

Tender TummiesFor those lactose-intoler-

ant ice cream lovers, some of the major players are churn-ing out non-dairy based fro-zen goodies like soy decoys, icy rices, hemp temptations and “milks” of almond, ha-zelnut and coconut. Sorbets are also easy on the gut along with frozen goat milk

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

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

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

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

BY CLAIRE HARLINIn today’s tough economy, dental in-

surance may be one of the first expenses families are cutting out of their budgets, and local dentist Dale Trudeau has come up with a program to try to help out.

“I was noticing that longtime pa-tients were skipping appointments and not bringing kids in because times are tough,” said Trudeau, who has for nearly 30 years operated Del Mar Family Den-tistry in the California Bank & Trust building at 2775 Via de la Vallem Suite 103, Del Mar.

This month, Trudeau starting offer-ing an in-house dental plan as an alterna-tive to dental insurance.

“We looked at the costs associated with giving quality dental care to our pa-tients and we saw that we could signifi-cantly reduce our treatment rates if we saw patients early in the process and encouraged the whole family to take part in the on-going care,” said Trudeau, adding that the rate for the plan is a better value when more family members take part. “We are seeing a lot of new patients who want the benefits. It’s really good for people who have a small business or have to buy insurance on their own.”

Being one of Del Mar’s longest standing family dental practices, Trudeau said he has enjoyed getting to know his patients over the decades and seeing them go through the many phases of their lives. He has kept nearly the same crew of employees at his practice since the beginning, in-cluding his hygienist, Beverly, and his wife, Lori, who started as a hygienist but now does adminis-trative work.

“People like that continuity,” he said. “They like to see the same people when they come to the dentist.”

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

Longtime local dentist’s office is all in the family•Dr. Trudeau launches in-house dental plan for patients “People joke that we are Del Mar Family

Dentistry, but we are also the family too,” said Trudeau, a Solana Beach resident whose kids, ages 22 and 24, went to Torrey Pines High School.

Besides friendly and trustworthy care, there are some other interesting things offered at Del Mar Family Dentistry, such as special “movie goggles” that patients can wear during treatment. A feature of the dental office for about 15 years, Trudeau said patients simply put on the goggles and choose from more than 200 movies. The movies help distract both kids and adults from the dental work.

“I’ve found that a lot of fearful patients come in and want sedation but once they try

the movie glasses they don’t even need it,” Trudeau said.

He also does a lot of high-tech dental photography that allows him to see problems such as decay sooner than he would otherwise be able to.

“Being able to detect decay with a camera, that’s really cutting edge,” he said. “It shows up red on the camera, where in the past the only way we could check for decay was with an explorer, which sticks in the grooves if there’s decay.”
