When former Rhode Is-land Congressman Patrick Kennedy was charged with driving while intoxicated on Capitol Hill in 2006, he said he was told not to talk about it.

“But I talked about it wherever I went, and my constituents told me they were finally glad to talk about these issues,” said Kennedy, who was first elected to Congress at 21, the youngest House Repre-sentative in history. “I still

ran for Congress and got re-elected by the largest plurali-ty in any election I’ve run in so far — 70 percent.”

Kennedy, a nephew to the late President John F. Kennedy, ended his 15-year Congressional career in 2011 to dedicate his life to spreading awareness about mental health in order to end the stigma and advocate for mental health insurance payouts. He made a visit to the Del Mar Hilton on May 22 to speak at an Interna-tional Bipolar Foundation event and present a group of

local Girl Scouts with their Mental Health Awareness Patches, which they earned by doing an extensive amount of outreach and re-search on mental health stigma.

“The way we stop stig-ma is to start with the young, impressionable minds before they get fixat-ed that people should feel ashamed of their illness,” Kennedy said. “They are the

After a closed meeting held May 16, the Del Mar Union School District board released the following state-ment regarding its search for a new superintendent to re-place retiring superinten-dent James Peabody:

“During the last two years the Del Mar Union School District has been working through a strategic management process that has clearly defined its vision, mission and long-term goals, along with the actions to achieve them. By provid-ing a nurturing, inspiring, and rigorous educational ex-perience for each of our stu-dents, the district has

moved forward with a re-newed purpose and energy.

“The Board believes that to sustain the momen-tum that has been created the district needs to have continuity in leadership with someone who under-stands the culture of the dis-trict and the intricacies of the strategic management plan. In addition, they are looking for a professional leader who can communi-cate the district’s vision to all stakeholders.

“The Board realizes that this is the most important decision they will make and

BY MARSHA SUTTON Sudden changes to

the San Dieguito Union High School District mu-sic program have caused confusion and conster-nation among many stu-dents, parents and music supporters, some of whom are alarmed that the new regulations will harm the award-winning program.

To meet the district’s requirement for two years of physical educa-

tion in both middle school and high school, many music students opted to take Indepen-dent Study Physical Edu-cation after school, which allowed them to take foreign language and music as their two electives.

Music students can still sign up for ISPE as an “extra” class, but the way ISPE will be administered is changing.

In the past, music

teachers received a log from students periodical-ly, which showed that kids exercised a certain number of hours each week, said Rick Schmitt, SDUHSD’s associate su-perintendent of educa-tional services.

Parents signed off on their children’s physi-cal activity program, which often consisted of walking, jogging, surfing or other unsupervised ac-tivity. Music teachers ac-

cepted the parental verifi-cations.

Schmitt said this is not legitimate, noting that a parent can’t super-vise an internship or sign off on English or math for example. He said the same rules apply to PE, and the ISPE statute is clear.

“Music teachers can’t be giving credit for PE,” he said. “You must have it supervised by a professional, and they

must have a million-dol-lar liability.”

Schmitt said other school districts have been sued after students were injured during ISPE under the supervision of non-professionals. The district is legally vulnera-ble, he said, because schools give credit for ISPE.

“We’re not going to allow any more unsuper-vised kids doing this be-cause we’re liable, so

we’re moving it to a su-pervised program,” he said.

So, beginning this fall, incoming seventh-grade students at the dis-trict’s four middle schools and all Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito Academy high school students can no longer have parents and music teachers sign off on ISPE. Music stu-dents can still sign

Editor’s note: This is the third article in a weekly series pro-filing the candidates in the District 3 County Supervisor race. The candidates for the District 3 seat include Dave Roberts, Carl Hill-iard, Steve Danon, Stephen Pate and Bryan Ziegler.BY CLAIRE [email protected]

Under California state law, paid public office holders must collect their salaries, and Solana Beach City Council members are paid $600 per month for the hours of service they dedicate to the city. But being employed full-time in addition to his role as deputy mayor, Dave Roberts saw charitable donations as a better use of that money.

“My mom and dad taught me that it was better to give than to receive and I want to set the example for our five young children,” said Roberts, who has donated more than $50,000 in salary pay to local and regional charities such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Casa de Amis-tad.

Being a leader, not only to his family and community, but on the political front is a driving force behind Roberts’ campaign to become the next District 3 County Supervisor.

Voters are waking up to how critical this race is, Roberts said, not only because the winner will be the first new member on the Board of Supervisors in 15 years — and in District 3 in 20 years — but because, due to a recent change in term limits, the entire board will turn over within the next decade.

Even though the supervisor seat is non-partisan, Rob-erts, the only Democratic candidate, could bring a different perspective to the all-Republican board. This could change the climate of the board as it turns over, and Roberts, who would also be the first ever openly gay man elected to the board, could be a leader in that change.

“I’ll be the first one there starting this dialogue and talking to potential board colleagues,” Roberts said, adding that he has already gotten started in the job by meeting with current supervisors to discuss and learn about the is-sues facing District 3.

Despite his more liberal political affiliation, Roberts said one of his assets is that he gets along with everyone and unites people from across political spectrums. He’s re-ceived endorsements from former San Diego City Council-woman Donna Frye on the left to former Bush Administra-tion U.S. Secretary for Veterans Affairs James Peake on the right.

“When [Peake] endorsed me, he said ‘I’ve never en-dorsed a Democrat in my life, but Dave, if you’re a Demo-crat then I must be a Democrat too because this isn’t about being Democrat or Republican, it’s about serving veterans in San Diego County,’” Roberts said of Peake, who is also a for-mer Army surgeon general.

Possibly his most valuable blessing, Roberts has also garnered the endorsement of current District 3 Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, who will leave her seat at the end of the year.

“People don’t see me as a political person; they see me as a community leader,” said Roberts. “This is a non-parti-

san race … San Diego is a majority Democratic county, but there’s no Republican or Democratic way to fill a pothole or solve a problem in San Diego County.”

When Roberts strolled into Solana Beach’s Java Depot for a recent interview, at least a handful of waves and hand-shakes came his way.

“This is Dave Roberts country,” said Brian Fuller, the coffee shop’s owner.

Local businessman Jim Harker, who’s lived in Solana Beach since the 1950s, eagerly approached Roberts and, with a pat on the back, said “I’m afraid we will miss you here on the City Council.”

To locals, it may seem as if Roberts is everywhere at once. He drops into numerous events a day with campaign manager Roger Boyd, a longtime Solana Beach resident who got to know Roberts years ago from inviting him in for din-ner with his wife, Mary Jane, while Roberts was walking door to door campaigning for City Council.

Roberts said he sees the campaign process as a vital time to connect with the community. That’s why he has taken a sabbatical from his job as vice president of govern-ment relations for the Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), a cause-based organization focused on the optimal use of information technology in health-care, to dedicate time to his campaign. In his personal life, Roberts also stays busy with his five adopted children.

“It’s been 20 years since there hasn’t been an incum-bent on the ballot, so one of the things people want is a leader who’s out in the community, visible, accessible and connected to a number of activities going on,” Roberts said. “I think a lot of people are wondering, ‘Who’s this guy Pam Slater-Price has endorsed?’ and when people get to know me they seem very supportive. When people meet me, I feel like they will vote for me.”

May 29 is the last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot and June 5 is Election Day.

A Place for Carmel Valleyto GatherBefore planning a single building, we set out to better understand the community’s needs and priorities.

We spoke with thousands of neighbors and residents and took note of their ideas and suggestions. Over and over, we heard that Carmel Valley needs a central gathering placefor local residents with a mix of compatible uses, including a specialty grocery store.

We believe a truly successful Main Street can only come from close collaboration with the community. Over the years, we have made numerous changes to the plans based on feedback we received from neighbors and local residents, and we continue to make changes.

BY KELLEY CARLSONCONTRIBUTOR

Life’s paths often con-tain occasional bumps, but sometimes, a person will stumble upon a huge sink-hole.

Dr. Ken Druck, one of the nation’s pioneers in per-sonal transformation, offers advice on how to deal with such obstacles in his new book, “The Real Rules of Life: Balanc-ing Life’s Terms With Your Own.”

“This book is about how life really is,” Druck said. “When we get real, we move ahead, move forward ... we become a bet-ter, higher expression of ourselves.”

Each of the 23 chapters describes one of the “real” rules, and provides practical suggestions and exercises to cope.

“Some (exercises) are fun, and some are very re-vealing right to the core,” Druck said. “I make all the issues actionable.”

For example, in the chapter titled “Listening Is Love,” readers learn how and why it is important to tune in to others’ words and actions. They’re directed to an online “report card” to assess the effectiveness of their own skills; in turn, they can ask their friends and family to rate them, and then compare results.

In another section, la-beled “There Are No Deals: Life’s Real Terms,” people come to terms with the fact that life always has its say, and sometimes they’re forced to go to Plan B, Druck said in an interview.

“We don’t get to play God,” he explained, and added the people must live with a sense of humility and flexibility.

At the end of the chap-ter, individuals must recall the “deals” they have made with life, and are then asked to seek an outside perspec-tive.

The book is for anyone facing challenges and transi-tions; it could be relevant to people going through a di-vorce, a business failure, or parenting a child who is strung out on drugs. It’s also

for those who have reached the point in their lives when it’s time for a change, such as starting a business they have always wanted, chang-ing jobs, or drawing the line with family.

Druck said these rules apply equally to organiza-tions, individuals, families,

couples and com-munities.

“I thought I’d take the dis-tilled essence of everything I’ve learned, how to survive signifi-cant life loss, and write a book,” he said.

The Del Mar resident drew much of his in-spiration from his experience deal-ing with the sud-den, unexpected

death of his 21-year-old daughter, Jenna, in 1996. Jenna, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School, was killed in a bus accident in India while studying abroad with the Semester at Sea program.

“The death of my old-est daughter still defies words,” Druck said. “I had absolutely no map when my daughter died. Nothing pre-pared me.”

One of his ways to deal with the situation was to es-tablish the Jenna Druck Center, which serves teen girls and bereaved families through the award-winning Families Helping Families and Spirit of Leadership pro-grams.

Also in the book, Ken Druck includes anecdotes from people he has worked with during his 35 years as a coach and consultant. Among his specialty areas are male psychology, execu-tive coaching, organization-al consulting, parent effec-tiveness, healing after loss, and the art of turning adver-sity into opportunity. Druck has been featured numerous times in print and broadcast media — making appear-ances on programs such as “Oprah” and “Larry King Live” — and has received honors such as the Vision-ary Leadership, Distin-guished Contribution in Psychology, and Family Ad-vocate awards.

Over the years, Druck has met thousands of fami-lies struggling to deal with catastrophes such as 911, the Columbine (Colo.) and

Santana (Santee) high school shootings, Hurricane Katrina and the San Diego wildfires.

In addition, he helped Chelsea King’s family through the ordeal of their daughter’s murder. In 2010, 17-year-old Chelsea disap-peared after going for a run in Rancho Bernardo Com-munity Park, and her lifeless body was later found next to Lake Hodges.

Druck said people from all over the world had been contacting him for help, so a couple of years ago, he be-gan contemplating another way to touch more lives and hearts. He found that when he wrote, he reached many more individuals. Druck had previously penned books such as “The Secrets Men Keep” and “How to Talk to Your Kids About School Vio-lence,” and had contributed to the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series.

Subsequently, he pulled back from day-to-day opera-tions at the Jenna Druck Center and hired staff to help run the programs while he focused on a new publi-cation.

Originally about 500 pages, “The Real Rules of Life” was cut down to just over 200 pages, Druck said. It “was written with the reader in mind to make it easy to read without a lot of psychobabble,” he said. “It’s very point-blank and truth-ful.”

The book was finally re-leased May 15.

“It feels like a birthing,” Druck said. “The due date is here, and I really feel like it arrived on time. It’s time to send it out to the world, as it draws its first breath.

“I put my heart and soul into it,” he added.

Druck’s new book is a must-have for everyone’s li-brary, said Martha Lawrence, executive editor at The Ken

up for ISPE, as an additional class, but it must be with a licensed professional who carries liability insurance.

The ISPE policy change will not affect this fall’s eighth-graders and students at Torrey Pines High School and La Costa Canyon High School until the 2013-2014 school year.

Licensed professionals can include insured profes-sional coaches, but Schmitt said ISPE students don’t have to be athletes. Partici-pation in any community organization such as the YMCA or Boys & Girls Club, which offers scholarships, is also acceptable.

“The only thing that’s different is we’re not allow-ing music teachers to sign off on PE,” he said.

The application period for ISPE opened on April 6 and closes Aug. 17. The goal, a district letter states, is for all students to take regular PE, but the district recogniz-es that Independent Study

PE might be more appropri-ate for several categories of students: exceptionally gift-ed athletes, students want-ing to take an advanced course not offered by the district, students with an impacted schedule, those with medical conditions, and those who have already fulfilled their PE require-ment.

Music students, Schmitt said, are considered to have impacted schedules.

A district website with a six-minute video tutorial guides students through the ISPE registration process [www.sduhsd.net/parents_students/ispe.htm].

One flick of a penSchmitt said he and his

staff began developing the plan last fall and solidified it in Jan.

Many parents were sur-prised to hear about the new policy, learning of the change only after their chil-dren registered for 2012-2013 classes in March and April.

In mid-April, when alarm bells went off

throughout the music com-munity, the district held meetings with principals, counselors, staff members, music booster leaders and the public to explain the policy and provide clear in-structions to help music stu-dents register – in some cas-es, re-register – for classes.

“We’ve spent the last month communicating the information,” Schmitt said.

Charlotte Goldstein, a Carmel Valley Middle School parent whose son will be attending Canyon Crest Academy this fall as a ninth-grader, said she un-derstands the goal was not to destroy the music pro-gram but believes the change will nonetheless have a deleterious effect.

“The worst crime the district did was not commu-nicating,” said Goldstein.

She said district staff did not understand nor explain the change adequately, caus-ing many students to drop music and enroll in regular PE.

She also worried that many high-achieving stu-dents who take private mu-sic lessons and may also play in youth orchestras will no longer take music in school, because the new ISPE sign-up system is com-plex and they may be reluc-tant to add another struc-tured after-school activity to an already over-burdened schedule.

This, she said, would lower the quality of the overall program and make it less fulfilling for younger students to join.

Libby Scott, one of the original members of a move-ment that brought music in-struction back to San Die-guito schools in the late 1990s, also expressed con-cern.

“When I heard that SDUHSD had to make the changes for Band PE, my heart stopped,” Scott said in an email. “The entire com-munity worked so hard all those years ago to bring mu-sic back to the schools and, with one flick of a pen and a miscommunication, [this] could totally undermine ev-erything we did and bring it to a screeching halt.”

Scott praised Schmitt for saying that “all deadlines are in pencil for band kids and that no music student will be left behind.” She also agreed the new policy is needed “but just not on this timeline,” suggesting a one-year delay in implementing the new policy.

She also suggested an expedited, simplified ISPE sign-up process. “I don’t think it is fair that music

students should have to spend such an inordinate amount of time and effort to sign up for a class that should be part of the curric-ulum,” she said.

Award-winning pro-grams

Distressed over the lack of music in local schools, parent activists Patti Mal-muth and Libby Scott met in 1996 with dozens of mu-sic supporters to form the Foundation to Advance Mu-sic Education. Three years later, FAME’s efforts paid off.

Today, the district’s mu-sic programs are considered some of the best in San Di-ego County, with over 1,400 SDUHSD music students and music teachers at every school.

“The breakthrough came when the San Dieguito Union High School District agreed to partner with the Boys & Girls Club to offer Independent Study PE credit to students wanting to take band/music,” Malmuth said in an email.

Scott said there is no room for music, PE and for-eign language in students’ schedules. “In SDUHSD, most students feel com-pelled to take foreign lan-guage … to go to college,” she said. ISPE offered a way around the dilemma.

But music supporters say the new policies threat-en the future of music in the district, primarily because the lack of adequate and timely information about the new ISPE option may have affected music stu-dents’ course selections.

“The changes to the registration process occurred so late in the game that no one knew what to do nor how to do it,” Scott said. “The paperwork was incor-rect and did not mention the ISPE music option that was available.”

Students have already registered, with no way to contact them, she said. The district cannot mail a sign-up form to students, “as that would put them in a situa-tion where they were ‘adver-tising’ an elective,” she said.

Another hurdle, Scott said, is that the new ISPE regulations will cost families money and demand a great-er time commitment.

“The kids need to find a fully insured physical educa-tion program outside of the district … [and] find time for it in their busy schedules,” she said.

Lastly, she said the new procedure to sign up for ISPE is arduous, noting that after-school club sports can-not count for ISPE. “The pa-

perwork needed to sign up for ISPE,” Scott said, “is so diffi-cult that some parents and students might look at it and just decide it’s too much of a pain to do.”

Scott said the origins of Band PE came from marching band, which allowed music students to get physical exercise while learning and playing music.

Sharilyn Parr, parent of an incoming seventh-grader at Earl Warren Middle School, agreed, saying, “Somewhere along the way, the schools stopped marching band. In my view, this was the big mistake, especially in a school like Tor-rey Pines that has a big emphasis on sports.”

Marching band, Parr said, also gave non-athletic kids a way to participate in football games and other high school sporting events, and suggested the district “return a march-ing band program to the schools so kids can get their exer-cise and their music at the same time.”

Parr said she was not against the policy change because she believes the prior policy was wrong. “Children shouldn’t be able to get out of PE by doing band,” she said. But she did say the new policy “will really hurt the music program.”

Scott said the district is allowing an extra course per se-mester for music students and Schmitt gets “a gold star” for “going beyond the call of duty” to keep the program suc-cessful.

An ardent music advocate, she remains concerned about the risk to the music program, though, saying the ISPE policy change blind-sided everyone.

“Not only does music education provide all of the obvi-ous benefits, but also provides students the manner in which to think creatively and communally,” Scott said. “It’s something like learning a foreign language and performing – a living art form – all together. There is absolutely nothing like it.”

most important audience.”Kennedy has long been

a pioneer for mental health — he’s responsible for intro-ducing legislation to place mental illness under the umbrella of health insur-ance — and he has been af-fected by mental health is-sues in both his own life and indirectly through the lives of his family members and fellow colleagues in Con-gress. Kennedy mentioned that just last week his cous-in, Mary Richardson Kenne-dy, committed suicide, and he spoke about how several fellow members of Congress confided in him when he re-turned to Capitol Hill after his alcohol addiction recov-ery.

“They’d tell me how their spouse wanted to com-mit suicide, how their daughter had an eating dis-order, how they themselves battled addiction,” said Ken-nedy. “They told me all this in confidence.”

But it was all those same politicians, Kennedy said, who voted against leg-islation supporting mental health reform.

“They said, ‘Patrick, I come from a different part of the country than you. I’m in the buckle of the Bible belt, and if anyone in my district thinks someone in my family has a mental ill-ness, I’m not going to get re-elected like you get re-elect-ed,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy said even though the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 is on the books, still too many people are being denied insurance reimbursement because ill-nesses of the brain are often considered elective, like cos-metic surgery. The solution, he said, lies in combating stigma to have better overall acceptance and implementa-tion of the law.

He compared the issue to America’s mid-century civil rights movement.

“The notion that in 2012 we still allow people to be sent to the colored water fountain is familiar to those in the mental health move-ment,” Kennedy said. “Men-tal health is treated differ-ently than health care, when mental health care needs to be part of everyday screening just like any phys-ical illness.”

Three specialty retailers added to Del Mar Highlands Town Center

Three specialty retail stores have been added to the Del Mar Highlands Town Center – Leaf & Kettle, baker & olive and Sunglass Cabana. The stores join a variety of contempo-rary dining, shopping and entertainment options attracted to the popular shopping center following its recent $20 mil-lion renovation.

“Leaf & Kettle, baker & olive and Sunglass Cabana are a welcome addition to what is becoming an incredible diversi-ty of dining, shopping and entertainment options at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center,” said Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. “The re-imagining of the shopping center has proven a tremendous success and asset to the community.”

A gourmet foods store specializing in fresh olive oils and balsamic vinegars, baker & olive, is expanding from its current location in Encinitas to a second store at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The shop is also known for its selection of specialty food items including honey, jams, spic-es, rubs, and sweet treats and its expertise in all things gour-met.

Sunglass Cabana is a New York-based retailer of high-end, fashion and prescription sunglasses. The store also of-fers a variety of sun protection eyewear accessories. Among the brands carried by the Sunglass Cabana are Gucci, Chris-tian Dior, Oakley and Tom Ford.

Leaf & Kettle will offer its customers a fascinating selec-tion of premium loose teas and teaware from around the world. The shop combines 5,000 years of authentic tea tradi-tions with modern innovations in an accessible, service-ori-ented environment.

For more information about the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, located at the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real, please visit www.delmarhighland-stowncenter.com.

The lease is signed and planning is underway for a new restaurant for Mexican cuisine aficionados and families at Del Mar Highlands Town Center from Diane Powers’ Bazaar del Mundo Restaurant Group. The new restaurant will take the former Red Robin space and is expected to open in spring 2013.

In keeping with its sister restaurants, Casa de Pico in La Mesa, Casa Guadalajara in Old Town and Casa de Bandini in Carlsbad, the new family-friendly entity will serve authen-tic, regional Mexican cuisine.

“We work hard to cultivate tenants who have San Diego origins,” said Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager for Donahue Schriber, owner and operator of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. “We’re thrilled to welcome Di-ane Powers’ latest venture to our line-up of top restaurants, as she continues her history of creating beautiful restaurants and delicious Mexican cuisine for families all over San Diego County.”

The building will undergo a complete renovation and expansion, and reflect Powers’ sense of design that uniquely captures the spirit of Mexico. The restaurant’s expansion will include outdoor dining with her signature colorful umbrel-las, authentic Talavera tiled fountains and specimen plants. Dining rooms will be filled with fine Mexican folk art, com-fortable furniture, hand-painted stucco walls and chairs up-holstered in colorful handwoven Zapotec fabrics from Oaxa-ca, Mexico. Jewel-like glass and brass lanterns will cascade from the ceiling.

The menu, now in design, will showcase entrees made with a variety of fresh sauces, seafood dishes, healthy choice options, vegetarian and gluten-free items, as well as a chil-dren’s menu. Also featured will be the same frosty, giant margaritas that have led to the popularity of Powers’ restau-rants.

Casa Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant is at the entrance to Old Town on the corner of Taylor and Juan Streets. Casa de Pico is located at 5500 Grossmont Center Drive, La Mesa, (619)463-3267. Casa de Bandini is located at 1901 Calle Bar-celona, Carlsbad, (760) 634-3443. For more information call (619)296-3161 or visit www.bazaardelmundo.com.

San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) student Melissa Fagan received first place May 18 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Pitts-burgh, Penn. Seven million students compete annually to receive an invita-tion to Intel as it is considered the top high school science competition in the world.

Placing first at Intel is an enormous accomplishment. Simply being invited to Intel is an achievement as only 1,549 students were invited this year, but re-ceiving a first place award means the re-cipient is in the top .000005 percent of science students worldwide. Intel gives only two first place awards in each of the 17 categories it judges. There are better odds of becoming a pro-athlete or winning an Academy Award than there are for placing first at Intel.

“Melissa’s success at Intel is a testament to her hard work and dedication, but also speaks volumes about the quality of her teacher, Dr. Jane Willoughby, and the curriculum and faculty at SDJA,” said Dr. Jeff Davis, principal of the upper school at SDJA.

Fagan’s project, The Creation of Alginate Microparticles as a Novel Drug Delivery Vehi-cle, received first place in the microbiology category. She received a total of $16,000 in scholarships, which included special awards from the Office of Naval Research and Air Force Research Laboratory.

In her project, Fagan sought to reduce the toxicity of silver in medical treatments. Sil-ver is increasingly being used as an antiseptic and disinfectant to treat chronic wounds such as burns. Antibiotic resistant infections are becoming more prevalent in hospitals, which is causing an increase in the use of silver. The challenge of using silver is that it rapidly con-verts into inactive silver, which causes a need for frequent re-applications. Due to the re-ap-plications, it is used in large concentrations, where it can be toxic to humans.

Fagan embedded silver based antimicrobials into alginate particles, which is the cell wall of brown seaweed, and was able to deliver the silver particles in smaller sustained doses. This helped alleviate the problem of toxicity and has the potential to save the medical in-dustry millions of dollars.

When asked about how she felt about her first place finish at Intel, Fagan responded, “Obviously I am still in shock, but it was really cool to be surrounded by 34 of the smartest kids in the country.”

Used Book Sale and fundraiser to be held in Del Mar May 27



If there’s anything that makes Solana Beach special, it’s the entire community coming to-gether to help raise money for one standout kid to go on a study abroad trip this summer.

That’s what happened recently for Rubie Wexler, an Eden Gardens resident who was chosen by People to People to represent Southern Cal-ifornia as a Student Ambassador. Ru-bie, a 5th grade student at Skyline Elementary, is one of 28 delegates nationwide to get to go on a study abroad program throughout West-ern Canada in July.

In order to make the trip possi-ble, her family came together to plan a “community play date” on May 20 at La Colonia Park to help raise money for the trip. More than 350 attended the public event, which featured hula dancers, a mag-ic show, zumba, a bake walk, face painting, shaved ice, funnel cakes and a variety of local vendors.

All proceeds from sales, a raf-fle and silent auction also benefit-ed Rubie’s endeavor, said her mom, Lisa Wexler.

“We have a big family and we love parties,” said Wexler of the event. “So I decided we’re just going to throw it all out there and make a bam out of this.”

Wexler said she is so proud of her daughter and that it’s no surprise Ruby was chosen for this honor.

“When you meet Ruby, she’s

just so amazing,” said Wexler. “She’s not even an all ‘A’ student, but she’s an ‘A-B’ student and she’s got a big heart. She helps the kids and she helps the staff … If someone gets hurt on the play-ground, she’s the one who will help, even if everyone else walks away.”

Wexler said Rubie, who wants to be a veterinarian some-day, is the type that will speak her mind, yet she’s very caring — “a good, well-rounded little girl.”

On Rubie’s two-week study abroad, she will travel to different Canadian cities and learn about the history and customs of each along the way.

Rubie has also been selling homemade “Salsalicious” salsa made by her aunt, Margie Monge-nel, for months to raise money for the trip. Mongenel runs a food truck called Margie’s Shuck Wag-on, which serves up roasted corn, loaded baked potatoes, corn salsa and a number of other Mexican food-inspired dishes at local farm-ers’ markets and private events.

“The big picture is to fund this trip for Rubie, but it’s also about bringing together the com-munity,” said Wexler. “I thought it would be good to help local busi-nesses drum up some support.”

To contact the Wexlers or to purchase homemade salsa to ben-efit Rubie for $5 per jar, call (858) 794-0916.

Received their Yale Club awards are: (L-R) Melody Jung; Melodyanne Cheng and Xavier Redondo.

Carmel Valley residents Melodyanne Cheng of Torrey Pines High School, Melody Jung of Canyon Crest Academy, and Xavier Redondo of St. Augustine High School, all juniors, were among 16 San Diego County high school students who received the 2012 Yale Club of San Diego Book Award at a private ceremony on May 20. This is the 10th year that the Yale Club of San Diego has presented the award—a certificate from the Yale Club of San Diego and a book published by Yale University Press that was selected for this year’s winners.

Each student honored with the award received The Bridge at the End of the World: Capitalism, the Environment, and Crossing from Crisis to Sustainability, by James Gustave Speth, Dean of the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale, and a graduate of Yale Law School. His book, bearing a Yale Book Award bookplate, was chosen for the “Wide-ranging interest among high school students in issues pertaining to the environment and sustainability,” said Robert Longstreth, San Diego Superior Court Judge and a member of the 2012 Yale Club of San Diego Book Award committee.

“We can’t solve [today’s environmental] problems with more of the same approaches we’ve been using,” stated Author Speth. “Real solutions will require transformative change in the key features of this contemporary capitalism.”

“And today’s young people are the ones most likely to come up with those changes,” Longstreth added.

The other award-winning students and their high schools are: Thomas Edman, La Jolla Country Day School; Nicholas Ferreirae, San Dieguito Acade-

my; Nicholas Kelly, Patrick Henry High School; Melissa Kolenovic, Point Loma High School; Dillon Lerach, Pacific Ridge School; Micah Lyle, Santa Fe Christian; David Mrdjenovich, Mt. Carmel High School; Emily Nyguen, The Bishop’s School; Julianne Preimesberger, Cathedral Catholic High School; Wright Smith, Coronado High School; Brandon Solis, Chula Vista High School; Brian Thuyen, University City High School;Kenneth Xu, Scripps Ranch High School;

The Yale Club of San Diego Book Award was created to recognize outstanding high school students. The students were recommended by their high schools for academic achievement, outstanding personal character and intellectual promise.

Three local juniors receive Yale Club of San Diego Book Award

On Wednesday, June 6, from 3-4 p.m. high school seniors that once attended Carmel Creek Elementary School are invited to a casual reunion at the school.

The highlight of this event will be when students and teachers get in a big circle. The students will share a favorite memory and what their future plans are and the teachers — along with Principal Terri Davis — share stories and words of encouragement to the stu-dents as they begin this next stage in life.

Do You Prepare More for Family Vacations Than You Do for College?

This column presents “Patriot Profi les” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.BY JEANNE MCKINNEY

She was just a child in Bangkok, Thailand, when she was exposed to a shock-ing scene during the Viet-nam War. Her father, an American Air Force officer, was stationed at Dong Muang Air Base and would take her and her brother into the office with him. One day, a plane landed and she watched as body bags were unloaded, one after another. Her father told her to never forget that “young people are the ones who bear the brunt of war.”

This distinctive child-hood memory was present years later, in 1993, when she answered a handsome young officer’s proposal with, “Ask me to marry you again when we’re not in a war zone.” Earlier, in 1990, they had met in Puerto Rico – she on a drug interdiction assignment for the Air Force and he, her Navy counter-part.

“I didn’t particularly like him at first — he wasn’t my type.” However, she admired that he was hard-charging and had a plan and soon be-gan to fall in love. For Lieu-tenant Hal Pittman, it was immediate attraction for this dark-haired beauty. “She was

outgoing, fun and adventur-ous.” Another assignment called her away from Puerto Rico and Hal. Ahead, a noble legacy was to con-tinue.

Rebecca Lynn Feaster is a descen-dent of gen-erations of American military ser-vice members, starting with the Continental Army, to later include Confederate forces, and she is African-American. Rebecca says, “If you really love your country, you serve it. With greatness comes sac-rifice. It’s not just about tak-ing and taking.” Because she’s spent so much time overseas — her entire life en-twined with the military — she believes, “This is the greatest country on the plan-et. To be born in the United States, you’re in the top 5 percent of the world’s popu-lation in relation to accessi-ble resources and opportuni-ties.” With this, she consid-ers, “How do you give and live your life so it’s an exem-plary one?”

Rebecca’s father, a re-tired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, joined the military because he was a black man in the 1950s who had a col-lege degree and few chances to use it in civilian society.

Her sister Hilary is an Air Force Lt. Colonel on the rise, currently serving in Afghani-stan. Rebecca and her sib-

lings learned from their father to

do the right thing, work hard, and to pursue something they had a

passion for.After at-

tending middle and high schools in

Wethersfield, Conn., Rebec-ca considers herself blessed to have received her com-mission through an ROTC scholarship that helped her earn an economics degree at Tufts University. From there she joined the Air Force as a munitions officer, but it wasn’t her passion. Thank-fully, a senior officer allowed Rebecca to change career fields and get into public af-fairs.

Rebecca and Hal’s ca-reers crossed again during deployments to the Gulf and Saudi Arabia in 1992. “Our paths were going to collide, no matter what geography was between us.” So after a two-and-a-half-year court-ship, when somehow they knew “the time was right,” she left the Air Force and be-came a Navy wife.

Rebecca has been with Rear Admiral Pittman most

of his career. She tells young women, “If you’re thinking of marrying someone in the military, this life is not for everyone.” There are career and school shifts, quick moves, financial cutbacks, months of separation, and daily frustrations. She adds, “You’ll often be a single par-ent. You won’t hear from them every day and when they come back you have to step into a secondary role on how to run things and that takes huge adjustments.”

The October 2000 sui-cide bombing of the guided missile destroyer, the USS Cole, was a refining fire in more ways than one for Re-becca. “My husband called from the Pentagon saying, “There’s been a terrible acci-dent. Sailors are dead. I’ve got to go.” I was in grad school, we had a newborn that was teething and re-plied, “You’ve got to be kid-ding me?”

Rear Admiral Pittman was sent to the grizzly bomb-ing scene in Yemen with the Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) when he got a call at his hotel. Rebecca re-lates, “I was having an ex-tremely frustrating day tell-ing him, ‘I don’t like the mil-itary. I hate the Navy and I can’t believe you’re there.’ He said to me in the calmest voice, “Listen, you’re doing a great job at home. Now,

there’s a potential suicide bomber threat in this hotel and we have to put mattress-es on the windows. Can I call you back?”

“He was so kind and sweet and loving,” which made her think, “Oh no, the last thing this man’s going to hear from me is this horrify-ing rant.” She hung up the phone and was scared.

In 2004, Hal, then based at Central Command, was with General Abizaid’s team visiting an Iraqi police sta-tion in Fallujah when a handful of snipers attacked. Rebecca heard from one of Hal’s mentors at the Penta-gon, “We think everything is fine. If there were [American] injuries, we’d know about them.” But there were hours

wondering if her husband was safe. Later, Hal emailed asking if they had enough life insurance on him. Rebec-ca says, “We [in the military] have to prepare for doing this life without our soul mates.” Rebecca’s own moth-er has been a role model on making the most of hard sit-uations.

Rebecca has turned trials to triumphs with a self-made business. Utilizing her mas-ter’s degree in international public policy from John Hopkins University and years working in public af-fairs, she works with execu-tive and community groups across the U.S. on how to

BY SHANTI MAYBERRYSixteen women gathered in Del Mar on April 21

for a “HighTea” Celtic bridal shower to celebrate the engagement of Jennifer Mayberry and Joe La Manna, who will be married this coming December at the Del Mar Powerhouse. The shower was given by Jenny’s mother, Shanti Mayberry, at the family home in Del Mar.

Ceremonies of the day included a piano concert by grandmother Patricia Hill, followed by Celtic bridal blessings and the old English custom of wishing the couple good fortune, happiness and health with spe-cial gifts from Joe’s mother and sister of “something borrowed, something blue, something old and some-thing new.” The grand finale after the champagne toast and gift presentations was a hilarious skit per-formed by entertainer Toby Prager who played Geszel-da, a very wild fairy Godmother.

The couple lives in Missoula, Montana, where Jennifer is executive director of Firesafe Montana and Joe is completing his Ph.D in wildlife biology and climate change at the uni-versity. He is the recipient of a three-year EPA star fellowship grant for his research on migra-tory songbirds and Aspen tree decline. They plan to spend their honeymoon birding, snor-keling and hiking in Belize and Guatemala. Both Jenny and Joe are proactive environmen-talists and hope to do their part in protecting the Earth’s eco-systems.

CV Girl Scout #3 in sales for Operation Thin MintGirl Scout and Rancho Santa Fe resident Veronica (Roni) Nelson was this year’s Opera-

tion Thin Mint’s top cookie seller, clocking in at a whopping 4,082 boxes. Roni – along with Melissa Thomas of Rancho Santa Fe (3,009 boxes) and Caroline Sanborn (2,012 boxes) of Carmel Valley – were honored with other top cookie sellers on May 12, at Girl Scouts San Diego’s 11th annual Operation Thin Mint® Sendoff aboard the USS Midway. As top sellers (defined by those who reach 2,012 or more boxes sold in 2012), the girls had the opportuni-ty to ride in a helicopter at OTM and join other VIPs on stage and at a special reception.

Since 2002, San Diego Girl Scout troops and their cookie customers have sent more than 2 million boxes of America’s favorite cookies and countless notes of support to de-ployed troops serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, Africa, Japan, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, West-ern Pacific and Indian Ocean.

will make it being well in-formed. Therefore, they have met with parents, teachers (current and for-mer), administrators (cur-rent and former), former Del Mar and other area board members as well as individu-als at the San Diego County Office of Education.

“After careful consider-ation, the Board of Trustees has decided to consider in-ternal candidates to fill the Superintendent position. Board Policy 2120 allows the Board to promote from within the district without doing a superintendent search. If at the end of that process they do not select a

candidate, they will immedi-ately begin a comprehensive superintendent search.”

The district said the board will announce June 6 if it has decided to hire an internal candidate and, if so, ratify a contract at the board’s June 27 meeting.

If an internal candidate is not found for the superin-tendent position, the board will start a “comprehensive search” at its June 27 meet-ing, with the goal of finding a new superintendent with-in four to six months. In that case, an interim super-intendent will be appointed at the board’s July 25 meet-ing.

Blanchard Cos. “I first read it when I

was going through the dark-est time in my life — my son, who’d been missing for more than two years, had re-cently turned up in a psy-chiatric hospital,” she said. “Ken’s book made me feel less alone in my despair and gave me hope that ‘this too, shall pass.’ Because Ken has lived through the worst — the death of his daughter — he writes with authority about turning tragedy into transformation. It’s one of the wisest books I’ve ever read.”

Now that his latest book has hit the shelves, Druck plans to conduct workshops and talk about “The Real Rules of Life.”

“I’ll be taking my mes-sage to different parts of the U.S. and world,” he said.

In addition, he plans to remain an active member of the San Diego community. Druck is still involved with the Jenna Druck Center, on a lesser scale, and he has been a part of the San Die-guito Alliance for Drug Free Youth for 25 years. Another area of concern for him is youth violence prevention, for which he has created sys-tems: “We’ve got to get real about the degree of vio-

lence,” he said.Druck also co-founded

Community Leaders for Youth with businessman, speaker and author Stedman Graham and Quantum Learning Network President Bobbi DePorter.

And Druck finds time for his family, which in-cludes his “Earth daughter,” Stephanie, who lives in San Diego; his “angel daughter,” Jenna; and the 16,000 girls who have been a part of the Spirit of Leadership program at the Jenna Druck Center.

“I have spiritually ad-opted daughters every-where,” Druck said of the di-verse group. “They are all fiercely determined, wonder-

ful, warm-hearted women who really ... make a posi-tive difference.”

It’s a fulfilling life for the author.

“A broken heart doesn’t mean you can’t have a full heart,” Druck said. “My life is a testament to that — it’s full again — I’m whole and alive.”

His book “The Real Rules of Life,” which is listed for $24.95, is available in stores everywhere and through online sites such as Amazon.com; barnesandno-bles.com; and Druck’s Web site, www.kendruck.com.

Her love and joy is be-ing part of the Feaster-Pitt-man team in support of their 13-year-old son Evan, unusu-ally gifted in music and ath-letics. He’ll answer his mom’s question about his day at school with, “Let’s not talk about school. What hap-pened in the world today?”

The former young Navy Lieutenant describes his wife, the reluctant former Air Force officer as, “warm, open and kind, yet practical. I don’t know anyone I’d rath-er hang out with.” She says marrying her persistent suit-or was, “the very best deci-sion I’ve ever made. I’m blessed to have him in my life.” They’re moving on to the next challenge as Rear Admiral Pittman retires. “We still have a son to get through college.”

From a shocked little girl overseas to a woman contributing much to her country, Rebecca advises, “The way you live your life is important because you don’t know when it will be over.”

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

For all those who have waded through the volumi-nous Draft Environmental Impact Report for the pro-posed One Paseo develop-ment, “You can’t get there from here!” is no longer just the punch line of a joke. It is now a formal engineering assessment of future traffic circulation to and through the heart of our Carmel Val-ley community if this devel-opment is allowed to go for-ward on the massive scale proposed.

Whether you’re a par-ent or student trying to get to school before first bell, or a business person trying to make an early morning meeting or get home for dinner with your family, your current commute will soon be lengthened dramati-cally. If the developer’s “If you build it, they [jobs] will come” rationale proves true, so will the final scene from the same movie (“Field of Dreams”): cars lined up for

miles at the Del Mar Heights Road freeway on- and off-ramps, transforming our community’s major thor-oughfare into a parking lot several times a day.

For those who support the project in its current form in hopes it will bring a favorite shopping destina-tion such as Trader Joe’s closer, ask yourself this: does it really require building an additional half a million square feet of office space plus one million square feet of high rise residential and hotel to deliver what’s im-portant to you? You can have your Trader Joe’s and much, much more within the 500,000 square feet the developer is already entitled to build. What do you gain by having him build four times that amount, aside from traffic congestion that will make you wish you had driven to Encinitas to shop?

And if you’re anticipat-ing pleasant strolls through

a much-publicized expan-sive community-gathering area, a small disappoint-ment awaits you there too. Small as in the actual size of an area compressed by sig-nificant building and land-scape setbacks. And instead of relaxing in blue sky and sunshine over one- to three- story buildings depicted in the developer’s renderings, you’ll be covered in perva-sive shadows cast by the sur-rounding 8- and 10-story of-fice and apartment buildings that are conveniently ob-scured in the developer’s renderings.

But recently there are rays of hope. A growing number of your neighbors are working tirelessly analyz-ing the 4,000-page DEIR to expose the truths of this massive deception and rally support for meaningful com-munity input. And a number of City Council members, having earlier been enticed by the developer’s siren song

of huge job creation poten-tial, are now willing to look past Kilroy’s munificent po-litical contributions to ques-tion whether One Paseo isn’t just a modern day version of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” with promised op-portunity being revealed as naked opportunism.

What can you do? De-spite Kilroy’s determination to by-pass the community in pursuing development plan approval, most of us, including citizen groups such as “What Price Main Street?” (www.whatprice-mainstreet.com), still wel-come the concept of One Paseo. What we and a grow-ing core of residents oppose is the developer’s goal of “super-sizing” it into a homerun for its sharehold-ers at the sacrifice of our community’s character and livability.

We now have an oppor-tunity to tell the San Diego Planning Commission and

City Council that One Paseo should be right-sized to a scale that will enable the de-velopers to mitigate at least some of the traffic and other infrastructure overloads it creates. If you agree, please take a few moments to sign one of the petitions you’ll find in your neighborhood or on the website above. They simply request that the City Council direct the de-veloper to go back to the community’s elected repre-sentative body, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, and modify its devel-opment plan to incorporate the goals of all parties. The time it will take to add your signature to this expression of community will is but a tiny fraction of the amount of additional time it will take you to navigate through our community if the project is approved in its proposed scale.

One Paseo: Opportunity or Opportunism

Fun facts about your June 5 ballot. Roseanne Barr is running for presi-dent, seeking the nomina-tion of the Green Party. One candidate for the American-Independent nomination is named “Mad Max.” The Libertari-ans have NINE presidential candidates. Brian Bilbray’s daughter Briana, who sup-ports medical marijuana, is a candidate for Republican County Committee.

The Republican presi-dential ballot lists six con-tenders, including Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum. Remember them? Once again, Califor-nia’s late primary leaves the state with no meaningful voice in a presidential nomination. This frees my Republican friends to in-

dulge in whimsy and vote from their hearts, perhaps to write in Grover Norquist.

I really miss Newt.Yes on 28. I oppose

legislative term limits. They rob state legislatures of institutional memory and needed expertise — and they empower corpo-rate lobbyists.

This ballot measure does not undo term limits. It simply allows someone elected to the Assembly or the state Senate to serve all of his or her term-limited years in one house, thus re-ducing the number of As-sembly members who run for the Senate. And it would encourage the devel-opment of skill and exper-tise in the workings of one house or the other — something sadly missing in Sacramento. Prop 28 also would reduce the total number of years one could serve in either or both houses from 14 to 12. The measure applies only to newly elected legislators. It would not extend the term of anyone currently serv-ing.

Yes on 29. The only opposition to this sensible public health measure comes from Big Tobacco ($30M) and some of the small businesses that sell cigarettes. Prop 29 raises

the tax on cigarettes and spends the money on can-cer research.

No on A. San Diego voters should reject this an-ti-labor initiative. Even an-ti-tax advocate Scott Bar-nett opposes it, because if it passes, San Diego will lose out on millions in state construction funds.

No on B. This San Di-ego measure is part of Carl DeMaio’s campaign for mayor. It proposes to “fix” the pension crisis by end-ing fixed-benefit pensions and forcing future city em-ployees, without the cush-ion of Social Security, into riskier 401-k retirement ac-counts. Independent anal-ysis shows that this switch will cost the city money, not save money. Of the four mayoral candidates, only Bob Filner opposes this scape-goating plan to blame and punish city em-ployees for a financial crisis they did not cause.

Judges. After consul-tation with attorney friends, I am voting for Ter-rie Eileen Roberts, George Schaeffer, and Garland Peed.

A recent letter stated that our rejection of One Paseo is like Marin County’s rejection of a Lucas Films Production company. Well, it’s not.

Certainly Carmel Valley would welcome a Google or Microsoft business here – and indeed I would welcome a Lucas Films production company. Those kinds of companies would yield high paying professional jobs where employees would be able to afford our Carmel Valley homes and, indeed, embrace our CV culture and lifestyle, and live here. One

Paseo jobs will be low paying jobs, held by far away com-muters.

That same letter said Carmel Valley is missing a heart and that One Paseo would provide one. Building more office, hotel, and retail, along with increased traffic, does not make a heart. Like the Tin Man, we find our heart from within, and we have a heart. It’s our walk-to parks, bicycle friendly roads, our schools, and our chil-dren. Let’s not break it.

Dave WolfsonCarmel Valley resident

and business owner

Don’t break CV’s heart

The Carmel Valley community is being asked to endorse a plan that is too dense for the neighborhood because the developer bought the land at the top of the market and needs to capture the economic return that they projected when they purchased the land thus the density increase re-quest. We should not be held hostage in this manner.

Yes it would be nice to have a development like Santana Row in our area. However, Santana Row’s in-gress and egress is totally different than the access to

One Paseo. We do not need additional traffic lights in between High Bluff and El Camino Real. We also do not desire to see 10-story buildings along El Camino Real. The character of the area will vastly change as a result. I am not against mixed use development at that location. I am against the level of development proposed. A compromise in the height and density of the proposed project is war-ranted.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

BY DR. JEFFREY MASON AND DONNA PINTO

We have heard time and again about our na-tion’s obesity epidemic, and one way we can tackle the crisis is to look at where it often begins — in child-hood.

In California alone, more than 30 percent of children ages 10 to 17 are obese or overweight. The national trend also is alarm-ing — the obesity rate among children and adoles-cents has nearly tripled since 1980.

Without immediate ac-tion, these children will like-ly become obese adults and a recent study indicates that this is an issue of life and death. Obese children are twice as likely as their healthy-weight peers to die from disease before age 55, according to the New Eng-land Journal of Medicine. In addition, obesity is also straining our national econ-omy with America spending $147 billion in direct health care costs associated with poor diet and physical inac-tivity, according to the Unit-edHealth Foundation’s 2011 America’s Health Ranking®.

We cannot remain idle. That’s why UnitedHealth-care is supporting six orga-nizations in Southern Cali-fornia to help fight the obe-sity epidemic, aided by a $1,000 grant to each group through the UnitedHealth HEROES program. More than 280 schools and com-munity-based organizations

nationwide, including 12 in California, have received UnitedHealth HEROES grants to implement local, hands-on programs to fight childhood obesity in their communities.

We are encouraging youth, parents, educators and members of the com-munity to join us in this ef-fort. It can be as simple as the program from Super-Food Drive and their “Su-perKids for SuperFoods Pro-gram,” which empowers middle school youth to lead SuperFood Drives to benefit low-income communities in need of healthy food. SuperKids were presented a tote bag filled with non-perishable SuperFoods, reci-pe cards and coupons to in-spire 1,200 students to eat healthy at a local “high-need” middle school. This spring, students taught their peers and families about healthy eating, nutri-tion, label reading and how to create healthy recipes.

Here are additional ideas on how to help keep kids active and eating right:

Nutrition• Have your kids help

in the kitchen, packing a healthy lunch or making a nutritious dinner.

• Have a basket of fruit and vegetables out for kids to snack on throughout the day.

• Have your kids try one new food every week; you never know if your children will like eggplant if

How to stop obesity before it starts

The Torrey Pines Com-munity Planning Board re-cently unanimously ap-proved the following state-ment on the One Paseo Pre-cise Plan Amendment:

“The Torrey Pines Com-munity Planning Board (TP-CPB) is taking this opportu-nity to respond to the San Diego Development Services – Carmel Valley Employment Center, Unit Two, Precise Plan Amendment (PPA) for the One Paseo Project issued March 29, 2012. As a Re-sponsible Agency, we believe it is our obligation to provide comments to Development Services and offer our opin-ion to our neighboring Car-mel Valley Community Plan-ning Board. The TPCPB re-serves the right to amend,

under separate cover, this document as new details and research become available up until the end of the com-ment period ending May 29, 2012 or as part of the admin-istrative record after public comment is closed.

“The Torrey Pines Com-munity Plan states, “the vi-sion of this community plan is to provide the highest pos-sible quality of life for resi-dents and businesses while preserving the community’s unique natural environment. The TPCPB, as a duly elected agency, is responsible to both its current residents and fu-ture generations.“ The TP-CPB hopes to direct the at-tention of Development Ser-vices and the Carmel Valley Planning Board to some of

the key impacts the zoning change proposed by the PPA will have on its neighboring community to the west.

“The PPA requests a zon-ing change for a 23.6-acre lot, from CVPD-EC to CVPD-MC, on the northeast por-tion of Unit 2. The TPCPB believes that this zoning change will have far-reaching negative impacts to both communities, and adjoining regions, that will not be miti-gated. The PPA presents an attractive development con-cept but shows it as if the proposed 23.6-acre develop-ment stands in isolation. It does not. The failure of the PPA to address the impact of the proposal on its surround-ings is a fatal flaw.

“The PPA fails to recog-

nize the relationship of Car-mel Valley to Torrey Pines. The PPA does not address the fact that many public facili-ties and safety services locat-ed in Carmel Valley also serve Torrey Pines. With in-creased traffic it is likely that police, fire, and emergency services will have a slowed response time to Torrey Pines. An increase in traffic will also hinder access for Torrey Pines residents to shared public facilities such as the library, recreation cen-ter, parks, elementary schools and high schools. Traffic may also be expected to flow onto Torrey Pines area resi-dential streets at peak hours, although the PPA does not address this problem. In-creased side-street traffic will

have a direct impact on our residents as well as amplify the problem of egress and delayed emergency respons-es.

“While we commend the PPA for offering to bring a “heart to Carmel Valley” the TPCPB believes that Car-mel Valley already has a “heart” that the PPA ignores. Development Unit 9, 168 acres immediately to the east of the proposed zoning area, has been zoned as a “Town Center” since 1986. Hun-dreds of millions of dollars, both public and private, have gone into “mixed-use” development of retail space, high-density housing, and many public facilities, in-cluding schools, a library and a recreation center. The PPA

makes scant attempt to inte-grate its’ proposed village with the existing adjacent Carmel Valley designated Town Center.

“The TPCPB believes that a multi-use project of the scale that the proposed zoning change would allow, up to 1,800,000 s.f. and more than 4,000 parking spaces, is simply too large and will have too may unmitigated negative consequences. The TPCPB urges that the zoning of the Carmel Valley Em-ployment Center Unit 2 re-main an Employment Center and that it be restricted to fulfilling its original purpose of providing 510,000 s.f. of commercial space.”

TP planners release statement on One Paseo amendment

Why is there so much uproar about One Paseo? Undoubtedly because it will fundamentally change the Carmel Valley-Del Mar area forever!

I don’t understand why there isn’t the same uproar over the proposed Del Mar Village Specific Plan! If you read it all, it will fundamen-tally change the small-town village of Del Mar forever!

Why are the owners of One Paseo proposing such a fundamental change? Ob-viously only one reason – money, at the expense of ev-erything else!

Why is the Del Mar City Council proposing such a fundamental change? Ob-viously only one reason – money, at the expense of ev-erything else!

These are but two strong similarities of the two

proposed projects. Others include: Neither proposal was initiated, or requested by the public; both will, log-ically, create traffic, parking and pedestrian havoc (un-less we all give up driving in favor of walking, bike riding and taking the bus); both will block views of sur-rounding residents; both are intended to replicate “a large European village” (all crammed in).

There are many other similarities, if you think about it, and there is noth-ing wrong with making money, but do areas really have to fundamentally change forever to make money, at the expense of ev-erything else?

Let’s speak out and vote “No!”

Ralph Peck Del Mar

Vote ‘No’ on fundamental changes to the areathey don’t try it!

• Experiment with smoothies. Carrots, spin-ach, a handful of berries and some low-fat yogurt make a delicious and nu-tritious treat. Kids will think it’s dessert!

Activities• Encourage your

child to walk or bike to school. If you drive them, arrive early and take a walk around the school before starting the day or when you pick them up at the end of the day.

• Some city recreation centers have indoor pools for a nominal fee.

• If you belong to a gym, take your child with you. Many gyms have a childcare center with lots of activities to entertain

kids while mom and dad are working out.

• Stretch your legs and go for a hike or a walk.

It’s time to empower youth as problem-solvers in the fight against child-hood obesity. If we work together as a community, we can achieve our com-mon goal of helping our children’s generation over-come obesity.

BY JOE TASHIn the first-ever official

visit to San Diego by Ireland’s ambassador to the United States, the diplomat told an audience of bio-tech execu-tives at a breakfast meeting at the Grand Del Mar that, “de-spite all the travails and chal-lenges, Ireland is very much open for business.”

Ambassador Michael Col-lins came at the invitation of the Irish Network San Diego, a group of Irish-Americans whose mission is to foster connections between Ireland and the United States, and provide both social and busi-ness opportunities to Irish im-migrants. The group’s presi-dent, Eilis McKay, and her husband, Neil, also a board member, are Rancho Santa Fe residents.

Collins had a busy agen-da of meetings and speeches during his visit, which began Sunday evening and conclud-ed Monday. His day began Monday with the breakfast where he met with members of BIOCOM, an association of

businesses in the life sciences.He spoke briefly with a

reporter after his breakfast with the bio-tech executives, before departing for a mid-day speech at the Joan Kroc Center for Peace and Recon-ciliation at USD. Collins, who was part of the team that ne-gotiated Ireland’s historic Good Friday peace accord in 1998, was scheduled to speak on “Contemporary Ireland and the Northern Ireland Peace Process.”

Meetings with San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and Po-lice Chief William Landsd-owne were scheduled before a Monday evening banquet back at the Grand Del Mar in Carmel Valley.

Collins, who has held the ambassador’s post since 2007, said he has tried to visit most of the major U.S. cities during his tenure. One purpose for his visit, he said, was to sup-port the local Irish-American community.

But another key reason was to encourage investment in Ireland, which is trying to

recover from the global reces-sion that has plagued much of Europe and the United States.

“Ireland is a very strong manufacturing center for the bio-tech sector,” he said. “I’m here to encourage people to look at Ireland as a European location for investment.”

As part of the European Union and a member of the Euro currency zone, Ireland offers access to a market of more than 500 million peo-ple, he said.

Collins said nine of the 10 largest life sciences compa-nies in the world already have operations in Ireland, and, “there’s room for plenty more. This area of Southern California has developed a strong footprint in the life sci-ences. We believe there are ways in which companies here can grow further through investment in Ireland.”

Brian O’Callaghan, presi-dent and CEO of San Diego-based Sangart, and an attend-ee at Monday’s breakfast meeting, said Ireland offers a

number of advantages to U.S. companies, such as a 12.5 per-cent corporate tax rate, a pool of educated, English-speaking workers, lower labor costs and a strategic location relative to the European market.

O’Callaghan said his company — which makes drugs that enhance the perfu-sion and oxygenation of isch-emic (oxygen-deprived) tis-sues — plans to break ground soon on a factory in Cork, Ire-land.

O’Callaghan, who is also an Irish Network board mem-ber, said the message he heard from Collins was that Ireland is working its way out of the economic slump and that, “If you’re going to lay a bet, bet on Ireland.”

Eilis McKay, who moved with her husband from Ire-land to the U.S. nearly 30 years ago, said the local chap-ter of the Irish Network formed in 2008.

“The purpose of the

Carmel Valley Middle School Drama presents ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’

The 2012 San Diego County Fair, which runs June 8-July 4, will host 24 nights of first-class family entertain-ment featuring nationally known singers, comedians and bands.

Seven free parking lots, a double-decker shuttle bus and inexpensive pedi-cabs are just a few measures added to Fiesta Del Sol to make the 2012 celebration more accommo-dating than ever, organizers say. This year’s Fiesta Del Sol will be held in Solana Beach on Saturday, June 2, and Sunday, June 3.

The Fiesta del Sol opens each morning at 9 a.m. with the arts and crafts fair and closes each evening at 9 p.m. after the conclusion of the last musical performance.

With more than 50,000 festival-goers ex-pected to attend, organizers at the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce put their heads together this year to find ways to mitigate parking, promote Solana Beach as a car-free vacation spot and get visitors to enjoy local businesses in addition to the festival.

“We feel like we’ve accomplished all the goals we wanted,” said chamber President Carolyn Cohen. “It’s a huge effort and every-one is working really hard.”

In addition to seven added free parking lots along South Sierra Avenue and Via de la Valle, the Amtrak and Coaster are offering two tickets for the price of one, and the chamber is offering free gift bags for those who come to the free festival via foot, bike or train. There will also be a designated bike parking area on Lomas Santa Fe adjacent to the train station. Bicycle pedi-cabs will be of-fering rides to and from the parking lots for $3 to $5 dollars a ride, depending on how far the lot is.

During the previous 32 Fiesta Del Sol cel-ebrations, attendees have not been enjoying the shops and restaurants of Solana Beach, Cohen said. This year, however, the chamber is working with a number of businesses along Highway 101, on Cedros Avenue, and in the

city’s shopping centers by offering discounts to festival-goers.

“Retailers have not generally liked the festival, but this year everybody is so excit-ed,” Cohen said, adding that there will also be jazz performances to entertain shoppers in the Cedros Design District — one at the cor-ner of Rosa Street and another in front of Leaping Lotus.

Another huge venture for Fiesta Del Sol organizers is a new partnership with Anten-go, a company that is offering a smartphone application that will map out the festival, dis-counted stores, parking lots and food trucks, in addition to offering a detailed music schedule.

Cohen said organizers are stepping up food offerings a notch, with a gourmet food truck festival taking place inside the festival itself.

“Gourmet food trucks right now are the hottest thing,” said Cohen. “They make real-ly incredible food and we wanted to upgrade our fiesta food.”

Cohen said kid-friendly foods like kettle corn and Italian ice will still be available, but in the kids’ section of the fest.

Time Warner Cable recently announced Carmel Valley students and their mothers as finalists in the 2012 Time Warner Cable Best Moms contest. The annual event provides San Diego County children the opportunity to celebrate the qualities that make their mom or caregiver special and earn them well-deserved recognition for Mother’s Day.

Now in its 11th year, more than 200 people attended the Time Warner Cable Best Moms ceremony at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla and the following students and their moth-ers from the Carmel Valley area were honored:

•Deana Lytle (mother), Spencer Lytle (child)•Joan Mei (mother), Meilong Zhang (child)•Soo Jean Park (mother), Chae Hyun Lee (child)•Ying Qu (mother), Victoria K. Li (child) The contest asks children to nominate their mom by either writing an essay or sub-

mitting a video. Each of the winners was chosen through a panel of judges including poli-ticians, journalists and teachers.

Fifty of the Best Moms Contest finalists and their participating child were honored at the luncheon. While moms were given the royal treatment they deserve, a portion of each student essay was read, or an excerpt from their videos were played while they walked the red carpet to receive their award. Each finalist received a trophy and gifts generously donat-ed by sponsors, including Sony, Microsoft, Ultra Star Cinemas, HBO Network, Mission Fed-eral Credit Union, Diamond Boutique, Pop Chips, San Diego Repertory Theatre and Spa Gregorie’s.

Chicago-based restaurant chain Mia Francesca recently brought its Midwestern hospitality to the

Del Mar Highlands Town Center.From the moment guests enter the

classically decorated establishment, until they’re amply filled with Italian fare and ready to head home, the staff makes an effort to learn each person’s name and tastes.

“We like guests to feel at home,” said Scott Harris, executive chef and owner. “We’re very welcoming people.”

First established in the Windy City in 1992, Mia Francesca can now be found in five states, and the Del Mar site is the 24th to open.

The local eatery — just months old — attracts a range of customers, from those donning shorts and T-shirts to others sporting suits. Children are welcomed with crayons and a menu offering items such as pizza, pasta and grilled chicken. Babies are given bibs with the phrase “I ate at Francesca’s.” In addition, kids eat free on Mondays.

There are several seating areas to accommodate singles, couples and groups of all sizes; parties of 15 or more can even participate in Tavoli di Amici (Table of Friends), family-style dining with several courses.

Two rooms comprise the elegant main dining areas, which feature chandeliers, wood floors, and tables draped in white cloth. Guests can admire sepia-toned photos capturing scenes in Italian villages, shot by Paul Elledge, or gaze outside at a fountain

through floor-to-ceiling windows that also serve as doors.

A TV in the bar provides sports programming. The shaded patio can be a respite from the summer sun, yet there are heaters and glass walls that help block the breeze on chillier days.

On Friday and Saturday nights, Mia Francesca customers can listen to the sounds of jazz bands emanating from the Plaza. At other times, pop music plays as background noise.

One of the unique aspects of Mia Francesca is that about half of the menu (which is handwritten) changes every two weeks.

“I remember when I was a customer (at a different Mia Francesca’s), I never knew what (I was going to be offered) — that’s the beauty of it,” said Luigi Negroni, chef at the Del Mar location.

Of course, there are some staples, such as Carpaccio con Asparagi, consisting of sliced raw sirloin, capers, tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus and

olive oil; and the sauteed Chicken Breast Romana, with garlic, shallots, rosemary, lemon and olive oil, and a side of roasted potatoes.

At lunch, sandwiches are served with fries or salad; options include fish, meatball, steak, caprese and vegetable.

Early in the week, there are several themed evenings. Monday is Lasagna Night, with a choice of vegetable or meat fillings. Tuesday features an all-you-can-eat, family-style, spaghetti-and-meatballs dinner, which also includes Caesar salad, garlic bread and tiramisu. It’s $10 for children 12 and younger, and $15 for adults.

“It’s like grandma’s dinner on Tuesday nights,” Harris said. He noted guests often take their leftover food home and make another meal out of it.

Guests can top off their meal with a dessert such as gelato, sorbet, Chocolate Cheesecake with salted chocolate caramel, or Cannoli with ricotta filling, chocolate chips and sprinkled pistachio.

SAN DIEGO- GASLAMPLA JOLLA PHOENIX

BY DIANA SAENGER Nobel Prize-winning

playwright, screenwriter, director and actor Harold Pinter (1930-2008) was one of Great Britain’s most in-fluential modern drama-tists. His work spanned more than 50 years and in-cluded the popular “The Homecoming” (1964) and “The French Lieutenant’s Woman” (1981).

North Coast Repertory Theatre Artistic Director David Ellenstein will direct “Two By Pinter: The Lover and The Dumb Waiter,” bringing these one-acts to the stage through June 17.

“I fell in love with them as a young man and now, older, I find they have more impact, and I respect them even more,” Ellenstein said. “Pinter’s work is so smart and twisted in its under-standing of how the human mind and human behavior works; it’s off-putting and dangerous while also being extremely funny.”

“The Lover” (1962) has been labeled “a sexy drama on one hand and an iconic comedy on the other.”

Pinter leads the audience to believe that there are three characters in the play: the wife, the husband and the lover. But the lover who comes to call in the afternoons is revealed to be

the husband adopting a role.

“The Dumb Waiter” (2005) unveils the relation-ship of two hitmen trying to pass the time while wait-ing for their next job. As they busy themselves, they become perplexed by a dumbwaiter in the room that delivers unordered food. Called a “comedy of menace,” it has several un-expected twists.

Staging two distinctly different dramas is a feat in

itself: The sets must be swapped out during inter-mission. “Marty Burnett, our wizard, has figured out how the one set folds in upon itself so it goes from being an upper-class Wind-sor cottage to a run-down basement,” boasted Ellen-stein.

The cast of “The Lov-er” includes Mark Pinter (no relation to the play-wright) as Richard, and Elaine Rivkin as Sarah, the milkman’s role goes to

Richard Baird. The cast of “The Dumb

Waiter” features Frank Cor-rado as Ben and Richard Baird as Gus.

Ellenstein said he worked with Mark Pinter for many years, most re-cently in NCRT’s “The Lion in Winter,” and “Becky’s New Car.”

“He also has quite an illustrious television ca-reer,” Ellenstein said. “He’s great in ‘The Lover.’ Elaine is from Chicago and mak-ing her first appearance with us. She’s fabulous, and I hope to work with her many more times.”

This is Baird’s ninth show at NCRT, and he’s playing opposite Frank Pinter.

“Frank is a Pinter ex-pert who produces the ‘Pinter Fortnightly’ series in Seattle,” Ellenstein said. “In 2010, he was awarded the William and Eva Fox Foundation Fellowship for Distinguished Achievement by the Theatre Communi-cations Group, and he’ll work on four Pinter plays to be produced in Seattle

this summer. “He’s also friends with

Henry Wolfe, one of Pint-er’s childhood friends, so if we had questions about anything, Frank just called him and Henry would tell us Pinter’s perspective from the original produc-tion.”

BY KAREN BILLINGCurves Torrey Hills owner Cheryle

Dufek celebrated National Curves Day on May 17 with her gym Curves Torrey Hills. The day-long celebration featured raffles, healthy snacks, classes and healthy wom-en-only workouts for all.

For Curves Day, Curves donated more than one million 30-day memberships to empower women in health. May 13-19 was also National Women’s Heath Week, coor-dinated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health.

Curves Torrey Hills was formerly locat-ed in the Torrey Hills Shopping Center for five and a half years before moving to its new Sorrento Valley location last April.

“(The new place) is a lot bigger, we have skylights for natural light and can roll up our doors for fresh air,” Dufek said. “It’s an awesome space.”

It’s also one of the few Curves to have a shower—the owner of the space allowed Dufek to build the gym exactly how she wanted it and they love all the room and extra amenities.

Curves fits in a complete cardio and strength training workout in just 30 min-utes in a circuit made up of resistance ma-chines that work every major muscle

group, two muscles at a time.One of Curves Torrey Hills’ newer

members is seeing some excellent results. Nitza Butler has paired Curves with her diet program since March and has lost 60 pounds.

“I just love it because it’s for women of all ages and women only in a nice, private place,” Butler said.

Veteran Leslie Kilroy has been coming to Curves for the last four years. While she had tried other exercise programs before, none ever stuck quite like Curves.

“Now I’m here four times a week,” Kil-roy said. “It’s easy for me to come and fol-low the routine and I don’t get bored.”

New additions to Curves Torrey Hills are Pilates and Zumba classes, which Lis-beth Garces was leading on Thursday after-noon. Garces said everyone from Dufek’s 8-year-old granddaughter to one 88-year-old member have enjoyed the Latin-dance inspired workout guaranteed to have you smiling while you sweat.

“We have lots of fun and get good ex-ercise,” Dufek said of her Curves.

Curves Torrey Hills is located at 10855 Sorrento Valley Road, suite 8. Look for the Curves sign. For more information call (858) 259-5588 or e-mail [email protected].

Bound together, the art of books goes on display

Old books can be found deconstructed, cut, twisted, folded, fanned, and distort-ed into new objects of beau-ty and intrigue at the fourth annual San Diego Book Arts National Juried Exhibition, May 26-July 8 at Geisel Li-brary on the UC San Diego campus.

The 57 pieces selected for this show by juror Carolee Campbell (out of 200 entered from 17 states), represent the full range of contemporary American book making. There are examples of fine printing using traditional letterpress techniques with lead type, in-corporating limited edition prints, exquisitely bound.

Rarely content to present “just the facts,” humans have been decorating, adorning, and illustrating the book since its inception. The artist’s book is, in a sense, the ultimate expression of this activity, according to Campbell.

In her introduction to the exhibition catalog, she writes, “The best books being made today, as in the past, become greater than the sum of their parts. They sing with metaphor. They captivate. They hold the viewer in their thrall and demand to be returned to again and again in order to rediscover that high energy transfer, that synergistic flow from part to part and back to whole.”

Campbell inaugurated Ninja Press in 1984. She designs, illustrates, hand sets in type, prints, and binds each edition of books. She is committed to making the beautifully exe-cuted book, as well as to the continual investigation of form using unusual materials, har-nessing both as expressions of book art for the 21st century.

What: San Diego Book Arts National Juried ExhibitionWhen: May 26-July 8Where: Geisel Library, UCSDOpening reception: 3-5 p.m. Saturday, June 2Catalog: $20, plus $4 shipping San Diego Book Arts: sandiegoboo-karts.org

BY KAREN BILLINGA new weekly farmers market

opened May 17 at Canyon Crest Academy. Fresh produce and yum-my eats are now offered every Thursday from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the new Pacific Highlands Farmers Market, a California-certified mar-ket, which ensures everything is grown within the state.

Located at the corner of the lot closest to the Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road in-tersection, the market benefits the Canyon Crest Academy Founda-tion.

“We’re excited about it. There’s no grocery store in that area so we’re giving people an alter-native to get fresh produce, reach-ing out to the community and sup-porting the school,” said Marty Foltyn, vice president of marketing for the foundation. “It seemed like a win-win for both the Farmers Market and the Foundation and also for the community. We hope to build some momentum in the last months of school.”

Ron LaChance, who also runs the Leucadia and Mira Mesa mar-kets, said the Mira Mesa market is also held at and supports Mira Mesa High School.

“Mira Mesa is very similar, school gets out and it’s a built-in customer base for students, parents and faculty to run in and shop,” LaChance said. “Having it at a school helps new markets get off the ground.”

There are 10 certified growers, including goat cheese and beef from a cattle ranch.

“There is lots of great produce, some organic,” LaChance said. “All of the vegetables are busting out in season right now, like peaches, apricots, blueberries — and cherry season just started. It’s the perfect season to start the Pacific High-

lands Farmers Market.”The market includes specialty

vendors providing items such as cupcakes, marinades and salsas. There are regular tented food ven-dors selling pulled pork, salads, sandwiches, veggie wraps, gyros and seafood, including baked clams, oysters on the half shell and even sea urchin. A rotation of food trucks will also visit.

“We hope it becomes a regular thing for people to come and eat dinner and get their produce for the next week,” LaChance said.

LaChance said there is also a vendor with potted herbs and fruit trees, who can also provide infor-mation for people who are interest-ed in home gardens.

CCA students also plan to be a part of the market, with musicians providing live music.

“It’s a neat plus for the stu-dents to be involved,” LaChance said.

A website is being developed but people can learn more at the market’s Facebook page at face-book.com/pacifichighlandsfarmers-market

On any given day, you might walk in to Bella Sareena Beauty Lounge and find a belly dancing class or a teenage girl’s beauty-centered birthday party tak-ing place. Or, you may smell the steep-ing mint leaves in owner Orly Perez’s homemade tea, or you may hear the ma-jestic vocals and guitar strums of the girl at the framing shop next door practicing her tunes. That’s all in addition to the variety of all-natural health and beauty services you can find there.

“I wanted a space where I could do more than just beauty,” said Perez, an es-thetician who opened the business earli-er this year at 128 E. Cliff St. in Solana Beach.

Perez, a native-born Israeli who now lives in Solana Beach, said she puts a big focus on her Old World customs and Middle Eastern values. The bohemian, artistic decor and soothing instrumental mu-sic hit you as you walk in the lounge, which features a Moroccan tea bar. Perez uses fresh herbs from an on-site garden in her concoc-tions — such as mint and orange blossom — which she offers to every guest.

Bringing in her belly dancing instructor to teach a class once a week also speaks to the lounge’s Middle Eastern charm.

“It’s something that I love; that’s why I have it here,” she said. “It’s not like aerobics or zumba. It’s a very feminine dance and it fits with the whole theme.”

She said she was inspired to put on par-ties for girls to teach the importance of health and beauty at a young age. At these parties, guests can make their own lip glosses, perform mini-facials with chocolate and clay masks and do Moroccan foot scrubs while eating Moroccan pastries and drinking tea.

“In this whole movement of beauty that has come about, we’ve lost appreciation for the basics,” she said, referring to the unnatu-ral or possibly damaging practices that have become popular. “This next generation needs to know how to simplify and enjoy who they

are.”Orly’s relationship with her own daugh-

ter, 5-year-old Sareena — the business’s namesake — is also an inspiration to encour-age mothers and daughters to enjoy beauty services together. She specializes in teens with acne, as well as pregnant moms experiencing hormonal-induced skin problems.

“When I was pregnant with Sareena I started getting hyper-pigmentation like crazy so I started getting facials and I realized they really do work,” said Orly. “That’s what in-spired me to become an esthetician”

“I know it must be really hard for teen-agers,” she continued. “What I do is worth it just to see the smiles on their faces and their renewed confidence when they get a facial.”

Bella Sareena carries a variety of profes-sional skin products, and Orly specializes in mineral makeup and doing makeovers for special events. She also offers microdermabra-sion, eyelash extensions, specialty prescrip-tion facials and spray tan packages. For more information, email [email protected] or call (858) 880-6860; www.bellasareena.com.

More than 30 dads, sons and daughters from the Ahwahnee Nation gathered together at the San Diego Food bank to help assemble over 650 food packages for San Diego senior citizens. The group spent two hours sorting, boxing, and labeling 10 tons of food donations for the Senior Food Program. The Senior Food Program provides a monthly food box to se-niors over the age of 60 who meet income guidelines set by the federal government.

The San Diego Food Bank feeds over 340,000 people every month — totaling over 10 percent of the county’s population. They distribute over 20 mil-lion pounds of food annually to individuals, families and nonprofit organizations throughout the county.

Thank you to Dave Chmelka, Nation Chief; Jeff Berger, Medicine Man; and the Ahwahnee Nation for volunteering their time to help the community alle-viate hunger.

Don’t miss the fabu-lous buys at the 16th An-nual Ashley Falls Neigh-borhood Garage Sale, which will be held Satur-day, June 2, beginning at 7 a.m.

Local homeowner and realtor Robbi Campbell with Robbi Campbell Prop-erties, of Real Living Life-styles in Carmel Valley, is again sponsoring this community event.

Homeowners participating in the garage sale will be placing their own merchandise on their individual driveways making it easy and fun for the shoppers.

“We are providing all the advertising, directional signs and pricing stickers for the homeowners’ merchandise.” Campbell said. “Our last 15 sales were extremely successful. The response from the homeowners and the shoppers was again so positive that we have

continued to make our garage sale an annu-al event. Last year, we had over 90 home-owners participating!”

Since Campbell lives and works in the community, she feels that organizing this event is a genuine way of giving back.

Once again this year, Ashley Falls Ele-mentary PTA has been designated the bene-factor of this garage sale by encouraging the homeowners to donate a portion of their proceeds to this wonderful area school. Again this year, Campbell will match all contributions donated by the homeowners.

To shop at the community garage sales, just follow Del Mar Heights Road east to Ashley Falls Drive. Either go straight and make a right at Seagrove and follow the ga-rage sale signs. You may also follow signs from Carmel Country where it meets Free-way 56, north to Carmel Canyon, make the right to Carmel Knolls and follow signs. There will be maps available at both en-trances.

SuperCamp increases grades, confidence and motivationAcademic pressure to stand out. Social

pressure to fit in. It’s not easy being a high school or middle school student these days.

Whether your child gets straight “As” or struggles, chances are they’re overwhelmed by homework, activities, and the distrac-tions created by technology. Parents are looking for solutions to help their kids in the balancing act of life. SuperCamp teaches real-life strategies. The result — increases in grades, confidence and motivation.

Bobbi DePorter created SuperCamp to

help kids succeed. Now in its 30th year with 64,000 graduates worldwide, SuperCamp is held on college campuses and builds study skills, self-esteem, and test scores.

SuperCamp works. Parent Patty M. says, “We saw a dramatic jump in grades, a new-found sense of responsibility at home, and the things she has learned about discipline, goals and her self-worth have been of lasting value.”

Each student follows the pro-gram with the help of specially trained Mathna-sium math tutors who provide instruction —

and lots of warm encouragement. For proof of progress, we rely on the stu-

dent’s report card, independent tests, and parent testimony, to measure the speed and magnitude of improvement in math skills, numerical think-ing, and attitude.

Cal Coast Academy, a Del Mar-based college preparatory pri-vate school, host-ed an intimate Q & A event featur-ing special guest speakers Alephon-sion “Al” Deng and Judy A. Bern-stein on May 14 at the Cardiff Li-brary. During an optional reception immediately fol-lowing the pro-ceeding, Deng and Bernstein’s co-au-thored autobio-graphical book ti-tled “They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky, the true story of three Lost Boys from Sudan,” promptly became a treasured belonging among the handful of attendees fortunate enough to obtain a signed copy of the astounding memoir before it completely sold out.

In the award-winning memoir, Deng, along with his brother Benson and cousin Benjamin Ajak, paint a horrific picture of the 14-year nightmare they endured, fleeing as refugees across Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya before signing up to take part in the “Lost Boys of Sudan” program and re-settling in America. The unimaginable personal accounts narrated in this compelling story tell of the tremendous ob-stacles, challenges and sufferings these boys had to over-come and the sacrifices they made during their 1,000-mile trek across lion and crocodile-infested terrain.

As a guest speaker sharing his unsettling past, Deng he-roically relives his emotionally- seared childhood time and time again to help educate our future generations about the devastatingly harsh and all too often muted impact and af-termath caused by the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan.

“It is imperative that students be educated on a global level, addressing crucial worldly issues and understanding that awareness and knowledge are critical components in correcting global injustice,” stated Jan Dunning, founder and principal of Cal Coast Academy. “At Cal Coast, we rec-ognize the seriousness of and strive to provide our students with the unsurpassed advantages associated with and gained through a well-rounded and all-embracing education that presents an honest representation of the world around us.”

Deng’s inexplicably painful, yet ultimately triumphant life began with an upbringing far too removed from our own to truly comprehend, and included enough twists and turns to leave even the strongest in despair. Now, as a young man, he radiates with genuine grace and unmatched optimism. “Alephonsion Deng truly defines courage, hope, determination, bravery, and inspiration,” states Dunning. “We are honored to have been part of this unforgettable event and to have met this extraordinary hero.”

group is to allow the Irish to connect more on a level of cooperation in business,” she said. “They really haven’t done that so much before.”

The group also has chapters in a number of U.S. cities, including San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and New York, as well as in other countries.

“Our mission is about supporting the Irish diaspo-ra,” said Neil McKay.

The local group felt “privileged and honored” by the ambassador’s visit, said Neil. “It’s a little like the shepherd visiting his flock.”

The Good Friday peace accord set the stage for the emergence of the “Celtic Ti-ger,” the nickname for Ire-

land’s robust economic growth from the mid-1990s through 2007, said Neil McKay.

“I left Ireland in 1980, not because I had to, but because I had a profound sense of despair that the peace could never happen. To my amazement and de-light in a short period of time… the peace in Ireland got delivered and Michael Collins had a hand in that being delivered,” Neil McK-ay said.

When he and his wife go back to visit friends and family, as they do frequent-ly, he said, “We are in awe of the change of attitude, especially in the north of Ireland, where we are from.”

For the sixth year out of the past eight, financial-services firm Edward Jones ranks highest in investor satisfaction with full ser-vice brokerage firms, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Full Service In-vestor Satisfaction Study.

The study measures overall investor sat-isfaction with full service investment firms based on seven factors: investment advisor, investment performance, account informa-tion, account offerings, commissions and fees, website and problem resolution.

Edward Jones places its branch offices in the communities where its clients — long-term individual investors — live and work. This practice, which enables its branch teams to provide personalized ser-vice to all clients, has helped the firm attain the highest score in the “Investment Advi-sor” category of the study.

“We are gratified that our clients find it convenient to work with us on their long-term financial goals,” Diane Huckabee said. “We enjoy working one-on-one with our cli-ents and believe that builds a collaborative relationship.”

Edward Jones also received high marks in the “Account Information” category, an important factor in the study.

“Hearing that we did particularly well in the account information factor is espe-cially meaningful as we strive to help our clients make sense of investing,” Huckabee said.

Edward Jones’ overall score climbed 15 points over last year, highest among the 14 largest firms rated, as well as 28 points above the industry average.

Edward Jones ranked highest in inves-tor satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates in 2010 and 2009, from 2005 through 2007, and in a tie in 2002, when the study began. Edward Jones in Canada ranked highest in the J.D. Power and Associates Canadian Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study in 2006 through 2008.

The 2012 Full Service Investor Satisfac-tion Study is based on responses from 4,378 investors who primarily invest with one of the 14 firms included in the study. The study was fielded in February 2012.

Edward Jones provides financial servic-es for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to ca-ter to individual investors in the communi-ties in which they live and work.

In January 2012, for the 13th year, Ed-ward Jones was named one of the best com-panies to work for by FORTUNE Magazine in its annual listing. The firm ranked No. 5 overall and No. 3 in Large Size Companies. These 13 FORTUNE rankings include top 10 finishes for nine years, consecutive No. 1 rankings in 2002 and 2003, and consecutive No. 2 rankings in 2009 and 2010. FORTUNE and Time Inc. are not affiliated with and do not endorse products or services of Edward Jones.
