Local school districts allocate millions in federal money differently

CV planners review proposed Armenian church project

Carmel Valley News now includes USA Weekend

BY MARSHA SUTTONSenior Education Writer

At the first meeting, last December, of the Del Mar Union School District’s new-ly elected board of trustees, the school board unani-mously approved the pay-ment of about $440,000 to district employees from the $763,852 given to the dis-trict under the Federal Edu-cation Jobs Fund.

The $440,000 was the total cost after $1,000 was given to each full-time em-ployee in the district, in-cluding superintendent Jim Peabody, the three assistant superintendents and the dis-trict’s eight principals. The $1,000 allotment – described in the Dec. 15, 2010 school board packet as a “one-time employee cash incentive” – was pro-rated for part-time employees.

DMUSD assistant super-intendent of human re-source services Tim As-fazadour called it “a one-time stipend” and said it was “to offset the increased

cost of health benefits.” Asfazadour said the dis-

trict employs about 300 full-time and 300 part-time peo-ple, 21 of whom work at the district office rather than a school site. Because one condition of the Federal Ed-ucation Jobs Fund is that the money can only be spent on school site personnel, the 21 district office employees re-ceived their money, totaling about $21,000, from the general fund, he said.

Cathy Birks, DMUSD assistant superintendent of business services, said that, in addition to the $440,000 distributed to employees, about $60,000 more was paid for fringe benefits such as unemployment, social se-curity, workers’ compensa-tion, Medicare, the Califor-nia State Teachers’ Retire-ment System (CalSTRS), and other labor costs. This brings the total cost for the cash in-centive program to about $500,000, all of which was paid from the Federal Educa-

The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board reviewed a new Armenian church planned for El Cami-no Real at its June 23 meet-ing. St. John Garabed Arme-nian Apostolic Church is be-ing proposed to be built on El Camino Real, behind the Evangelical Formosan Church.

Plans for the 113.37-acre parcel include a 350-seat church, a multi-purpose hall, a library and education building and a gym for youth recreation. The devel-opers submitted plans to the city last week and expect comments from city staff by late July.

The planning board’s regional issues subcommit-tee will receive more details on the project in August or September. If approved by the city, they will also need a coastal development per-mit from the California Coastal Commission.

The project manager, Marcela Escobar-Eck, princi-pal of the Atlantis Group, said she is very familiar with the challenges and environ-mental sensitivity of the San Dieguito River Valley. She said she takes great pride in the area as she was involved in the preservation and worked with the city’s El Camino Real widening proj-ect on creating a safe, ade-quate wildlife under-cross-ing near the church site.

“The biggest challenge this site has is access,” said

tion Jobs Fund. The federal govern-

ment allocated about $1.2 billion in Jobs Fund money to California school dis-tricts, the purpose of which, according to a fact sheet distributed by the California Department of Education, is “to save or create an estimated 16,500 kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) jobs.”

The federal money was given to all school districts in the nation, and U.S. De-partment of Education guidelines offer a number of options for spending the money, which is to be used “only for compensation and benefits and other ex-penses, such as support ser-vices necessary to retain ex-isting employees, to recall or rehire former employees, and to hire new employees, in order to provide early childhood, elementary or secondary educational and related services.”

According to the Calif. Dept. of Education, “This includes salaries, perfor-mance bonuses, health in-surance, retirement bene-fits, incentives for early re-tirement, pension fund contributions, tuition reim-bursement, student loan re-payment assistance, trans-portation subsidies, and re-imbursement for child care expenses. Funds may be used to restore reductions in salaries and benefits or to implement increases. They may also be used to eliminate furlough days.”

The funds may also be spent on employees other than teachers who provide support services at school sites. But the money cannot be used for “administrative expenditures related to the operation of the superin-tendent’s office,” board members, fiscal services or human resources.

The money allocated to each district, which is based generally on enroll-ment figures, is intended to be used in the 2010-2011 school year, but unspent

money can be carried over one more year as long as it is all obligated by Septem-ber 30, 2012.

Other local districts Other local school dis-

tricts used their Jobs Fund money differently.

The Jobs Fund alloca-tion to the Solana Beach School District was $503,820, which was all used, said SBSD superinten-dent Leslie Fausset, “to re-tain seven temporary teach-ing positions in 2010-2011.”

If not for the Jobs Fund money, Fausset said either the teachers would have been released or programs would have been cut.

The same use was made of Jobs Fund money at the Rancho Santa Fe School District, which has so far received $119,668 of a total entitlement of $132,964.

Denise Stevenson, RSF-SD director of finance, said the money was used “to save some positions.” She said it is paying for 2.4 tem-porary teachers whose jobs would have been in jeopar-dy had the money not been available. Without the funding, she said teachers would have been released, programs would have been eliminated, or class sizes in-creased.

“The money received from the Federal Jobs Fund enabled our district to re-tain teachers that would have been reduced due to the cuts imposed by the de-crease in property taxes and the state’s compulsory Basic Aid fair-share contribu-tion,” said RSFSD superin-tendent Lindy Delaney in an email.

At the San Dieguito Union High School District, associate superintendent of business services Eric Dill said his district was allocat-ed $2,413,491. “We’ve spent $1,800,174 so far – all on teachers’ salaries and as-sociated benefits,” he said. He emphasized that this was not a salary increase or a bonus but was used “to offset the general fund’s general education class-room teacher expense.”

The balance of

$613,316 will carry over into 2011-2012 because it’s not yet been received, he explained, saying the mon-ey, when received, will be used again for the same purpose.

Of the $1.8 million spent, $1.5 million went to teachers’ salaries and $300,000 paid for benefits that included CalSTRS, Medicare, unemployment and workers’ compensa-tion.

According to Dill, the $1.5 million in Jobs Funds substituted for $1.5 million that would have come from the district’s general fund to pay for salaries, thereby freeing up $1.5 million in unrestricted general fund money and allowing the district to avoid further budget cuts.

“That is what I mean by an offset,” Dill said in an email. “The total expense for certificated salaries didn’t go up or down.”

Without the Jobs Fund, Dill said the district would have had to consider other options to reduce costs – “either eliminate/reduce programs, bring back fewer temporary teachers, raise class sizes, further reduce counselors, make more re-ductions in non-classroom areas like transportation, athletics, etc. The list of op-tions we had goes on and on, but we didn’t have to go there because we had this funding.”

Dill said the Jobs Fund money was used to main-tain programs by offsetting the losses suffered to the general fund from years of reduced education funding by the state. “Since our goal has been to preserve pro-grams, we see the use of the funds as job retention,” he said.

Del Mar’s Job Funds dis-tribution

The Del Mar Union School District, which wel-comed three new board members to its five-member board in December, has al-located about $500,000 of its $763,000 in Federal Edu-cation Jobs Funds to the employee cash incentive program, about $230,000 to implement a Supplemental

Employee Retirement Plan, and the rest to pay for retir-ee health benefits.

The goal of the federal Jobs Fund was “to save the jobs of current employees,” Asfazadour said. “One of the options available was to offer a retirement incentive which the board of trustees approved based on a rec-ommendation from the su-perintendent.” The other option embraced by the district was to give employ-ees the one-time cash in-centive.

When asked how it was decided by the district to use the Jobs Fund money for a cash incentive, As-fazadour said, “We look at all the revenue receive[d] and determine the best use of the funds. In this case, the decision was made to use one-time money for a one-time stipend.”

He said the $1,000 per employee cash incentive saves employees’ jobs be-cause “it keeps them from potentially leaving the dis-trict and looking for other jobs.”

The December 2010 board report states that the $1,000 per employee cash incentive offer, costing a to-tal of $500,000, was pre-sented to the Del Mar Cali-fornia Teachers’ Association union in September 2010 during contract talks.

According to the Dec. 15, 2010 board report, “Representatives of the DMCTA and the DMUSD reached agreement on a MOU [Memorandum of Understanding] during ne-gotiations on September 23, 2010. The MOU was then overwhelmingly rati-fied by the DMCTA unit members.”

The MOU was not brought forward earlier, As-fazadour said, because the DMCTA had to poll their constituents which took time.

“The direction for use of the funds was made prior to the current board but was approved by them at the December 15, 2010 board meeting,” he said.

BY MARSHA SUTTONStaff Writer Of the $763,000 in Federal Education Jobs Funds given to the Del Mar Union School District, about $230,000 will go to implement a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan.

The SERP offers 75 per-cent of current salary to anyone over age 55 who has worked at least two years in the district. It was reported two weeks ago that 17 DMUSD employees ap-plied for the SERP. Since then, two more employees also took the SERP – one teacher and Susan Paul, principal of Torrey Hills School, who announced her resignation and retirement the week of June 11.

Although the resolu-tion passed by the DMUSD school board at its Feb. 16, 2011 meeting states that one condition for eligibility for SERP is that a letter of resignation and the SERP enrollment package must be submitted by April 5, DMUSD assistant superin-tendent of human resource services Tim Asfazadour said the resolution included language authorizing the district’s assistant superin-tendent of human resources and the assistant superin-tendent of business to “exe-cute any and all documents, including any amendment to the plan, necessary or proper to maintain a favor-able determination of the plan.”

He said it was deemed a “favorable determination of the plan” to allow late SERP applications because “the more employees that partic-ipate in the SERP, the more savings to the district.”

Asfazadour said the timeline was created by Tor-rance-based Keenan Finan-cial Services, the district’s SERP contract administra-tor, and “was not created to limit participation.” It was originally established “for those who might have sec-ond thoughts and want to pull out.” The goal, he said, “was to insure that the plan penciled out to be cost-ef-fective.”

The total number of DMUSD employees taking advantage of the SERP is

now 19, Asfazadour said – nine certificated teachers, eight classified employees and two principals. He said Keenan receives a commis-sion amount based on a percentage of the total pre-mium of 6 percent.

The SERP pays out ben-efits over five years. Cathy Birks, DMUSD assistant su-perintendent of business services, said the SERP’s first year cost of $230,000 will be paid with money from the Jobs Fund. After that, “we’ll be paying Years 2 through 5 from the savings that we’re getting” from the lower salaries to replace the retired employees, she said.

DMUSD superinten-dent Jim Peabody said the district will be saving about $320,000 after five full years.

Asfazadour said the five-year SERP offer won’t be available again for at least another five years. “While you’re saving mon-ey, you are having to pay over that five-year period for that program, so it’s not cost-effective to do it that often,” he said.

The board report for Feb. 16, 2011 when the SERP was approved states that Keenan’s proposal “is both advantageous to dis-trict employees and pro-vides value for taxpayers. SERP is a program designed to create incentives that ef-fectively increase and accel-erate the retirement rate, in excess of the natural attri-tion rate.”

Keenan’s analysis re-ports that a minimum of five employees is needed to participate in SERP to be cost-neutral. To be cost-ef-fective and realize savings, every employee past the first five who participate will create “a savings of ap-proximately $43,354 over a period of five years.”

Keenan anticipated that at least eight of the 34 eligible certificated employ-ees would participate, at a savings of $137,295 over a five-year period. For classi-fied employees, Keenan pre-dicted that at least seven of the eligible 35 employees would participate, for a sav-ings of $42,425 over five years.

Escobar-Eck, of the odd-shaped parcel.

Escobar-Ecke said they tried to negotiate with Formosan church representatives to use their access but the talks fell through. To make the most minimum impact possible on the land, ac-cess will be off El Camino Real with a long, some-

what winding road back to the church facilities.

Board member Chris-tian Clews voiced concern about possible traffic con-gestion with three churches on that particular stretch—along with the Formosan and Armenian churches, a Lutheran church owns prop-erty just beyond the pro-posed St. John Garabed property.

While Escobar-Eck said

there are no immediate plans to develop the Lu-theran church, a third church on the road will be reflected in the traffic study.

Escobar-Eck said that, as with any church project, fundraising is an issue and construction will take place in phases. She said it’s likely that the hall would be built first.

Returning to Solana Highlands on July 24, you will be entertained by the reggae sounds of Upstream. Originally formed in the republic of Trinidad and Tobago and then re-located to southern California in the early 1990’s, they have an energetic eclectic style of reggae and Soca that has earned them a formidable appellation in the music indus-try world.

Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soccer has a couple of new soccer teams wearing the At-tack green and white — in Costa Rica. The soccer league donated both “home and away” jerseys to outfit two very excited youth soc-cer teams at an impover-ished Costa Rican school. The donations were part of Carmel Valley resident Gin-ny Barnes’ project to bring athletic equipment to Costa Rican children—she deliv-ered the uniforms three weeks ago with her family.

“Part of the mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Attack is ‘through soccer have fun, build character and develop an appreciation for the rich spectrum of the world’s cul-tures,’” said Marilee Pacelli, director of operations for Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soc-

cer. “When Ginny told me about her project, we were in the process of collecting and reordering uniforms for the new season. We were ex-cited to be able to donate to her project and knowing that soccer is such a big part of the lives of children in Costa Rica we know the uni-forms will be put to good

use.”In addition to the do-

nated uniforms, Barnes and her family gave more than 100 pounds of sporting goods that they had stuffed into their suitcases: soccer shorts, soccer balls, basket-balls, whiffle balls and bats, and 68 jump ropes. For rainy days, they also gave

the school 90 new books.Barnes came up with

the idea for the sporting goods donation after visiting the country a year before and seeing children playing with an old soccer ball with-out any skin left.

As she collected items, Barnes was amazed by peo-ple’s generosity — such as Rancho Santa Fe Soccer’s willingness to pitch in and how a local sporting goods store offered a discount after finding out where the items were going.

On the day they brought the donations to the school, the Barnes fami-ly was treated to a school tour and students performed a dance recital for them. Barnes gave the school an additional $200 and told them to use it for anything related to physical education and the school officials im-

mediately eyed their beat-up basketball backboards. By the time she returned a week later, the new back-boards were already up — a feat that Barnes said might have taken six months and 20 meetings in America.

“It was so amazing,”

said Barnes, recalling how one little boy couldn’t take his eyes off the new goalie gloves on his hands. “As a community, we’re so blessed and we really wanted to do something…It was a won-derful experience and I’m ready to do it again.”

Community members brighten lives in Costa Rica through donations

Once upon a time, con-sumers had to clip coupons — but now, they’re just a click away. A wave of com-panies has now mush-roomed after figuring out how to harness the power of the Internet in a new way: Customers can go online and browse exclusive daily deals for all sorts of local business-es, pre-purchase vouchers for the promotions they like, and then use the vouchers when they want.

Solana Beach resident Steven Jung has now discov-ered a way to take that con-cept of online group-savings one step further and use it for a greater good: He recent-ly launched Kartmob.com, a website that allows people to score those discounts while helping to raise money for local public schools

“The original concept was truly born out of idea of creating something that’d be able to help public schools,” Jung said. “I am a product of California public schools, but

with recent budget cuts, I wonder if the same will be true for my kids.”

Jung — who has an in-fant daughter, and another daughter at Skyline Elemen-tary — put his years of fi-nance experience to work, and after crunching the numbers, realized that Kart-mob.com could indeed help public schools by steadily funneling money to PTA

groups. Ten percent of the net proceeds that are gener-ated after running Kartmob.com promotions are given to the participating school’s PTA group. The PTA group then distributes the money to the school how it sees fit.

“Volunteer fundraising at public schools has about a two-year turnover because people move on when their kids get older, or they simply have other things on their plate. I realized this could be a regular stream of funding for PTA groups, something

they could occasionally pro-mote and then sit back and let the checks roll in.”

So far, several North County schools have signed on, though ultimately Jung would like to establish a foundation that helps schools all over the state and, perhaps one day, the nation.

“I’d love to grow this concept, and stay committed to fundraising to help public education so we can help even more kids,” Jung said, adding that bolstering the lo-cal economy was another

nice built-in feature of this concept. “Kartmob is built on a socially responsible business model, and it feels really good to be a part of it. I’ve long held the belief that if you find something you’re good at, something that really gives back in some way, you’ll be happy. So far, that’s proven to be very true. And so far, peo-ple are excited about the con-cept. I think they can see that this is something that’s really special.”

San Diego County Fair-goers might have been sur-prised last weekend that the AC/DC and Black Sabbath tunes they were hearing was coming from a band whose members weren’t even yet a glimmer in their parents’ eyes when the songs first came out in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The band, Victims of Authority, is made up of a majority of 10-year-olds, playing adult instruments and classic metal and rock n’ roll.

Victims of Authority rocked the Coors Stage for two shows at the fair on June 18 and 26. One of the young “Victims” is Blake Boeh, a Carmel Valley resi-dent and fourth grader at St. James Academy in Solana Beach.

Victims of Authority was the creation of Liam Liedorff, Blake’s guitar teacher at the California Academy of Music. Wanting to start a band as a way for students to reap the rewards of sticking with music and practicing hard, he connect-ed Blake with fellow guitar-ist and 10-year-old Maxwell

Meeder, knowing they would be a perfect match.

The rest of the band fell into place this year.

“I’m glad we made the connection because they get better and better every week,” said. Liedorff, who continues teaching the band members in private lessons and attends many of their band practices. “I’m really excited to reproduce this ex-perience as many more times as I can.”

Along with Blake and Maxwell, Victims of Author-ity is rounded out by Josh McSwain, Andy Ferguson and Sam Gawlowski.

Lead singer Josh, who

sports long rocker locks, has been singing since he was just 3 years old and is more than capable of wailing out on songs like Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock.” The very charismatic Maxwell, on lead guitar and vocals, has been playing guitar since he was 8 and recently started writing his own music. On bass, Andy provides a steady groove—he has played gui-tar since first grade.

The band’s oldest mem-ber, 16-year-old Sam, is an extremely talented drummer whose family recently re-lo-cated from Germany. Sam serves as the group’s role model and works to keep

the kids on track.Although a little shy

and unassuming, on stage, Blake is anything but shy. Liedorff described Blake as a solid player that the rest of the band can rely on.

“I get more comfortable on stage. The crowd energy helps you,” said Blake, who always wears his signature hat when he performs.

Blake said he was in-spired to try music by his musician uncle and started taking guitar lessons two years ago. He now has plen-ty of rock n’roll songs in his arsenal, although his favor-ite song that Victims of Au-thority plays is “Walk This

Way” by Aerosmith, “I get to do a solo,” he explained.

Being in a band has al-lowed him to share his love of playing music and he loves the applause and audi-ence support.

“He feels like he’s giv-ing something back,” said dad Mark.

“(Being in a band) real-ly makes him happy,” said mom Diana.

The miniature band has a full-size drive—they are very dedicated and practice in the Meeder garage in Clairemont once or twice a week for hour-long sessions. The Meeders don’t mind the clash of rock n’ roll on the other side of their kitchen.

“We support them 100 percent, whatever it takes,” said mom Dena Meeder. “It was very important to us when we started to have a safe, drug-free environment with parental supervision. They’re very serious when they’re playing and rehears-ing. They’re very dedicat-ed.”

The kids learn about re-sponsibility, about rehears-ing on their own time so they don’t let each other down in the limited time

they have to practice togeth-er.

However, as soon as the amps get turned off, the kids are kids, playing cheerfully in the backyard with each other — even Sam joins in.

“Fun is always a part of it,” said Meeder.

While they have per-formed at a few charity events, performing on the Coors Stage at the fair was their biggest shows to date.

Meeder said double takes abounded as people thought an adult band was playing until they noticed it was a group of “little guys.”

Blake loves playing in the band and has high hopes for the future of Vic-tims of Authority.

“I hope we do more concerts and learn different types of music,” Blake said.

The band will next be the youngest group in the under-19 “Battle of the Bands” on July 31 in San Marcos. Check out the band’s website at victimsof-authority.com. If interested in lessons, contact Liam Lie-dorff at [email protected] or (858) 405-6658.

“Whatever I do,” says Janusz Supernak, “I’m pas-sionate about it. I don’t like to do things half way.”

That includes being a civil engineer, college pro-fessor, singer, songwriter, church organist, and a U.S. nationally-ranked ping-pong player.

Supernak, 66, the Pol-ish-born San Diego State University professor who re-cently stepped down as chair of the department of civil engineering after serv-ing a record 18 years, was honored at SDSU’s 2011 commencement with the university’s “Most Influen-tial Faculty Award.”

During his tenure as chair (the longest in the college’s history), the multi-talented Supernak was suc-cessful in creating two addi-tions to the civil engineer-ing program: environmen-tal and construction engi-neering; and is credited with bringing in more than $4 million in external con-tracts to SDSU.

He is the author of more than 100 papers and

research reports on intelli-gent transportation sys-tems, traffic engineering, transportation economics and travel demand analysis; and he remains on the fac-ulty as a professor, doing re-search and teaching courses in transportation engineer-ing and engineering econo-my.

He has lectured in 14 countries and at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Ox-ford, Kyoto University, Delft University of Technol-ogy in the Netherlands, Nanyang University, Singa-pore, and at the BOKU Uni-versity of Vienna.

SDSU is the only uni-versity in San Diego offer-ing undergraduate and graduate degrees in civil, environmental and con-struction engineering with close to 700 students.

We interviewed Super-nak at his home in Carmel Valley where he lives with his Polish-born wife, Iga, a materials engineer and for-mer model, who also shares his love of music and sing-ing — he, a baritone, and she, a soprano. They met in

Cracow seven years ago through mutual friends and have been married almost six years.

“Stepping down as chair position,” he said, “gives me more time for my music, my sports and, most importantly, for time with my wife.”

Department chairs nor-mally serve a three-year term with a possible two-year extension.

“I was asked to contin-ue many times and it result-ed in a record 18 years at the helm,” he said. “Since

we had a very successful ac-creditation visit in 2010 with all three of our engi-neering programs — civil, environmental and con-struction — receiving the maximum six-year accredi-tations, it was a perfect time for me to step down to give someone else to start prepa-rations for the next accredi-tation visit in 2016.

“Accreditation is a very demanding and time-con-suming task for any chair, even with just one program, and we have three.”

Supernak was born in

Deblin, Poland, 60 miles south of the then war-rav-aged Polish capital of War-saw. “I sometime joke that I waited to be born until the war was over. The war end-ed in May, 1945, and I was born a month later on June 20, 1945.”

His father had been sta-tion master at various rail-way stations in Poland be-fore becoming an executive with a railroad consortium in Gdansk. While growing up, Supernak, with his par-ents, his older brother and younger sister, lived in company-provided apart-ments in railway stations.

“With trains passing by all the time,” Supernak re-calls, “it was always inter-esting.

“My field is transporta-tion engineering and maybe it’s something in my genes. My father was in the trans-portation area, my two grandparents were associat-ed with Polish railways, and my brother also has a Ph.D. in transportation,” he said.

As a youth, Supernak showed a talent for writing, music and architecture, but when his father died of can-

cer at age 40, the 13-year-old Supernak decided he should concentrate his ef-forts working toward a pro-fession in which he could “earn some money.”

He began tutoring fel-low students in mathemat-ics, switched from a liberal arts high school to a techni-cal high school and subse-quently was accepted at the Technical University of Warsaw, the premier engi-neering university in Po-land, where he earned his undergraduate degree (1968), his master’s degree (1970) and his Ph.D. (1977) in civil engineering with an emphasis on transportation.

While working as a re-searcher in environmental development at the state-run Transportation Depart-ment in Warsaw, he went to a conference England to present a paper.

“The civil engineering chairman of SUNY (State University of New York at Buffalo) liked my paper on a mathematical modeling of how traffic is generated in cities and invited me to

Local resident Keziah Sonder Plattner is coming home for the summer intent on helping local high school students learn to master the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). The Stanford sopho-more is working though the Revolution Ivy Insiders sum-mer program to bring an in-tense three-week study ses-sion to Rancho Santa Fe. Her session will begin July 8 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10 a.m. at the Vil-lage Church.

Keziah, a 2010 graduate of Santa Fe Christian School, scored in the 99th percentile on her SATs and ACTs, in-cluding a 34 on her ACT (American College Testing).

“I remember going into it being really nervous,” said Keziah, 19, noting that the length of the test was espe-cially intimidating. “I’m ex-cited to tell students that it is beatable, it’s predictable and it’s not as scary as it seems.”

Keziah had hoped to do some tutoring work this summer and found that Rev-olution Ivy offered the op-portunity to teach others while also obtaining valuable business experience. As the manager of her own branch, Keziah had to scout a loca-tion (she called more than 50 places before the church

agreed to host her) and do all her own marketing and sales, as well as the actual instruc-tion.

Revolution Ivy is one of the most successful test prep programs in the country, founded by Harvard under-grads in 2003 with the belief that the best way for high school students to learn how to beat standardized monster tests was to learn from col-lege students who already had.

The Revolution Ivy In-siders program says that the system can help students boost scores by 254 points on the SAT. One of the keys of its prep is that the SAT always tests the exact same concepts and question types. Keziah said it’s possible for students to go into the test knowing exactly what to expect.

“It doesn’t test a per-son’s intelligence, just how well you’ve learned the test,” Keziah said. “I view it as a

game with rules you can learn and a game you can beat and that’s kind of reas-suring for students.”

Her Rancho Santa Fe summer course will be an in-tense three-week program, three days a week. Students who prefer learning one on one can opt for private tutor-ing instead and Keziah also offers a hybrid option which includes the classes and pri-vate tutoring.

Keziah has always been very comfortable at the head of a class and has enjoyed tu-toring and working with kids. While she is currently majoring in materials science and engineering at Stanford she won’t yet rule out a ca-reer in education.

“Education is really im-portant and good teachers are always needed,” Keziah said. “It’s something I’m defi-nitely considering.”

In addition to SAT and ACT prep, Keziah also offers tutoring in AP Biology, AP Calculus BC, AP Calculus AB, AP English and AP Statistics. The group course is $599; hy-brid option is $899 and Kezi-ah will offer financial aid.

The Torrey Pines High School Music Department brought home many new trophies during this competitive season, highlighting the talent and dedication of the music students and music director Amy Willcox.

In March both orchestras qualified for the Southern California School Band & Orchestra Association regional festival by receiving superior ratings at the local festival in Oceanside. The orchestras traveled to Ontario for the regional competition on May 20. The Advanced Orchestra received a unanimous superior (superiors from all four judges) in the AA (colle-giate) level for the 8th year in a row. They were the only high school orchestra to receive a unanimous superior. The Intermediate Orchestra received an excellent rating in the Class B (high school) level. Both groups performed a prepared program and were also judged on their sight reading.

“The Advanced Orchestra has exceptionally talented musicians this year and they really play well together,” said Amy Willcox, music director.

The orchestras went straight from the competition in Ontario to meet the Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band students in Valencia for the Music in the Parks festival where all five of the Torrey Pines ensembles came in first place for a clean sweep. The Wind Ensemble was judged overall best band. Nicci Cazares, vocalist in the Jazz Band, received the Overall Best Soloist award.

The Jazz Band competed in the Coronado Jazz Fest on April 30, receiving second place and a unanimous superior rating in the advanced category. Outstanding Musicianship awards went to Will Shi, Omron Hassan, Lenny Cheah, Andy Zhao & Nicci Cazares.

In March, the Jazz Band also performed in the Irvine Jazz Fest, receiving the “Best Trom-bone Section” award and earning Outstanding Soloist awards for Nicci Cazares, Lenny Che-ah & Jaeyoung Kim.

“It’s been a very busy competitive season and all of the ensembles have done very well,” said Ms. Willcox. “We were thrilled to come out of Music in the Parks with five first place finishes. Every year our program grows stronger.”

BY JEANNE MCKINNEYContributor

There are over 1.4 million active U.S. military personnel paying a huge price while we freedom-loving citizens bene-fit from America’s unlimited opportunities. Men and wom-en from all walks of life, eth-nicities and cultures do many jobs and carry the enormous weight to keep America secure and ensure peace. This col-umn will present soldier sto-ries to provide readers insight into the lives of these dedicat-ed, talented, and brave war-riors and heroes who watch our backs. Here is our first sto-ry:

Earning his wings in 2007, U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Justin L. Jackson, a Houston, Texas, native based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pend-leton, has flown the AH-1W Super Cobra in three combat deployments — one in Iraq and two in Afghanistan. This twin-engine attack helicopter is the backbone of the U.S. Marine Corps Helicopter fleet. From the outset, Jackson says, “It takes a unique mindset” to go to battle. Most of us will never have to fight an elusive and ruthless enemy night to day for months on end, push-ing the body, keeping the mind focused and skills sharp despite carnage and destruc-

tion all around. “Taking the oath and wanting to serve your country means potential-ly giving your life in her de-fense.”

Success in combat does not come without a cost la-ments Jackson – who has lost good friends weeks before they were set to go home. “Whether they came from our unit or the ones we supported, we all feel it and mourn in our own ways – that’s the Marine mentality. You never get used to it, nor should we ever. We remember them for the sto-ries, the good times and what they stood for. But they would also want us to show up for work the next day and provide the same quality sup-port as before, taking the fight to the enemy and accomplish the mission.”

He remembers, with re-spect, his step-grandfather, a World War II veteran, and NFL player Pat Tillman, who “placed servitude and sacrifice

above fame and greed.” Till-man, who took the oath and gave his life, helps him stay grounded.

Jackson’s military career started at the United States Naval Academy. “Being a young somewhat jaded mid-shipman, Sept. 11 had a pro-found effect on me. Up until that point, I was sure I wanted nothing to do with the Ma-rines.” In the years that fol-lowed, many people Jackson admired opted to join. He said he wanted to be part of it – part of the tip of the spear. Be-coming a member of “the few, the proud” was the best way to do that. Jackson’s greatest reward is the bond he forms with the Marines he flies for every day — especially in combat. He offers, “No other service trains like we do…At some point, regardless of our military occupational specialty (MOS), we take our issued ri-fle, gear, lace up our boots and slug through months of infan-

try training. This shared ap-preciation for the ‘grunt’ — the customer they will one day support — is forever seared into our minds. ”

Appreciation for support was revealed to Jackson in Kyrgyzstan while conversing with a forward air controller (FAC) from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment (2/8). Jackson and his squadron had a very special relationship with that unit during Opera-tion River Liberty. During the 2009 surge in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan, “they arguably worked the most challenging slice of Afghan soil” — starting with the big-gest heli-borne insert since the Vietnam War. “Prior to River Liberty, there was very little sustained coalition presence in many parts of Southern Hel-mand. But one early July morning that all changed. The Taliban went to sleep that night and literally awoke to find 4,000 Marines in their backyard.”

“What 2/8 accomplished that summer was remarkable”, says Jackson. “We knew we would be busy and that the theater would become more kinetic…but thankfully we were well-trained and ready. Our mission was to identify the enemy and prevent him from gaining any momen-

tum,” and as pilots of attack helicopters “to support and protect our own.”

The words of a young squad leader forever remind him of that. “He asked me if I was from ‘Repent’ (our theater call sign). When I said I was, he shook my hand and said”, “Sir, you guys really saved us more times than I will ever ad-mit to my mother…thank-you.”

Jackson was never more proud to be a Marine than at that very moment. When he returned for his second de-ployment to Afghanistan in 2010, the areas that were once most kinetic became some of the best success stories in Af-ghanistan. He reports, “Ma-rines in those parts worried less about pursuing the enemy and more about making sure the children made it to school

on time.”On being an American,

Jackson reflects, “While no doubt we have suffered our setbacks along the way, the United States has done so much good for mankind…having an intimate knowledge of our history, our trials and tribulations is crucial for every American to understand and appreciate.”

Since being commis-sioned an officer in the United States Marine Corps from the Naval Academy in 2004, Jack-son has been listening for those infantry Marines’ voices on the radio, bearing witness to the value of his work. I feel many Americans echo his sen-timents; “I still get chills hear-ing our national Anthem and watching Old Glory flap freely in the wind. I feel so very blessed and humble to be an American.”

Jackson is looking for-ward to a fourth deployment (third to Afghanistan). His passion for what he does is clear: he tells me his entire ex-istence is to support that young Marine, quite often only months removed from a high school prom. I’m con-vinced our backs are secure with this flying warrior, who, with many others have stepped up to be “the tip of the spear.”

With Del Mar Live Scan offered inside his Piazza Car-mel Postal Annex location, owner Kirk Krikorian has made an identifiable mark on fingerprinting services in North County. Since opening in 2006, Del Mar Live Scan has be-come one of the main sources for the background check process required by law for many professions. Del Mar Live Scan replaces black ink fingerprinting with a digital scan of your fingerprints.

A Carmel Valley resident since 1995, Krikorian had a long, 32-plus year career as an insurance executive before deciding he wanted to change careers, opening up the Postal Annex branch 10 years ago.

“This has become one of the top producing Postal An-nexes in the whole county,” Krikorian said of the busy lo-cation and “wonderful” community.

Five years ago Krikorian developed the Live Scan con-cept to give Carmel Valley and surrounding areas a conve-nient resource as fingerprinting is required by the Depart-ment of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI for background checks in numerous professions, including teachers, school volun-teers, nurses, military applicants, contractors, CPAs and

more.“There was a definite need for a local place

to do fingerprinting and since I owned the Postal Annex it was an ideal merge,” Krikorian said. “Fingerprinting is done in a professional, business environment.”

Certified technicians complete the finger-printing work and prints are sent to the DOJ, FBI and the Child Abuse Central Index (CACI) if applicable.

“People really appreciate the service they get from us, we’re really particular when it comes to service,” said Krikorian. “We want to make everyone feel special when they walk into the store.”

Del Mar Live Scan accepts walk-ins, Mon-day through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Krikorian said they can be open for extended hours to accommodate a customer’s busy schedule by calling (858) 342-2389. They also offer mobile fingerprinting services, at no additional charge for groups of five or more within a five- mile radius.

A growing number of “independent” voters hold that there is no meaningful difference between Demo-crats and Republicans. I dis-agree.

Democrats favor pro-gressive taxation. Republi-

cans favor huge tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

Democrats support So-cial Security, Medicare, and national health insurance. Republicans want to repeal these programs. Theirs is a faith-based health system, a

single-prayer plan.Democrats are pro-labor.

Republicans are anti-union.Democrats seek to raise

the minimum wage. Repub-licans usually vote NO.

Democrats are pro-choice. Republicans, that odd coalition of the very rich and the religious right, have pledged to outlaw abortion and stem-cell research.

Democrats are friends of the environment. Most Re-publicans oppose measures to protect the natural world.

Most Democrats oppose the death penalty. Most Re-publicans support it.

Jerry Brown and legisla-tive Democrats favor a mix of tax extensions and spend-ing cuts to balance the Cali-fornia budget. Every legisla-tive Republican insists on an all-cuts budget, no matter what the cost to schools, parks, roads, cops, and the

poor, sick, and elder-ly.

Most Demo-crats favor compre-hensive immigra-tion re-form with a pathway to citizenship — and they supported the Dream Act. Many Re-publicans are immigrant-bashers. Pete Wilson and Brian Bilbray come to mind.

In the 1960s, Democrat-ic Presidents Kennedy and Johnson led the charge for black civil rights. Republi-cans promptly launched a “Southern Strategy,” de-

signed to appeal to disgrun-tled white people.

As the Great Depression was brought on by the poli-cies of Republican presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the great recession of our own time was brought on by the policies of Republi-can president George W. Bush.

Throughout the Great Depression and beyond, vot-ers elected Democrat Frank-lin Roosevelt four times and gave him large majorities in Congress.

Voters did NOT say in 1936: “Well, FDR hasn’t end-ed the Depression yet. I guess we should give control of the economy back to the Republicans.”

Consider the company you keep if you believe there is no difference between the parties. George Wallace, rac-ist governor of Alabama and

“state-rights” candidate for the presidency, was fond of saying, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrats and the Re-publicans.”

Ross Perot made the same claim in 1992, with the unintended consequence of helping Bill Clinton defeat Bush I.

The same argument was made by Ralph Nader, whose third-party run in 2000 cost Al Gore the presidency (de-spite winning the popular vote) and ushered in eight years of Bush II.

Suggestion (from Andy Borowitz) of a campaign slo-gan for possible presidential candidate Rick Perry: “What harm could a governor of Texas do?”

School districts throughout California are looking for cost containment and cash flow strategies. A Supplemental Employee Retire-ment Plan is one program that generates sav-ings as a result of the salary differential be-tween the retiring employee and the new em-ployee hired to fill the position. The program is designed to create incentives that increase and accelerate the retirement rate in excess of the natural attrition rate. This retirement strategy is used to create fiscal savings that will aid the district in offering the best educational experi-ence possible for the children of our district.

As one of three authors (James Freedman, Michael Hayutin and myself) of the analysis of the chapters on the rise and spread of Islam in the textbook, World His-tory Medieval to Early Mod-ern Times, I would like to clarify some issues. The front page of the June 9 newspaper included an arti-cle about the textbook, in-appropriately under a head-ing “High School district re-jects charges of religious dis-crimination.” The textbook controversy has nothing to do with religious discrimina-tion nor is it related to the legal actions described in the other article under the same heading. A recent reader of our report pointed

out that we didn’t even ad-dress the two full pages quoting from the Qur’an, which are arguably inappro-priate in the textbook.

Our complaint is strict-ly about errors and distor-tions in history. We wrote a supplement to achieve a more truthful depiction of Islamic history because we believe that the textbook is historically flawed. Middle school staff and administra-tion were informed about our concerns. The supple-ment could be used by teachers until an accurate textbook is available. We highly respect Superinten-dent Noah’s recommenda-tion and are in agreement with the local board’s unani-

mous decision to let the Cal-ifornia Department of Edu-cation tackle the complaint. Readers may e-mail com-ments to us at [email protected].

We all agree that teach-ing the truth about the his-tory of Islam is critical to our children’s education. The textbook problem is not unique to our school dis-trict. Until the teaching con-tent is improved we will continue to inform the con-cerned public about the de-ficiencies — in print, on ra-dio, television and at town hall meetings. The essence of the problem is education-al not political. Young chil-dren are taught about the American history of slavery,

women’s voting rights, Japa-nese internment during World War ll, a devastating civil war and mistreatment of native Indians. America’s constitutional amendments and man-made laws have evolved to rectify our prob-lems and enhance freedom. Why is the Islamic history of slavery and slave trade, mistreatment of minorities, unequal rights of women, and often brutal methods of expansion expunged from the textbook history? What is wrong with teaching these important truths about Is-lamic history?

Morgan Run Club & Resort will host a complimentary Knowledge Seekers Forum on Wednesday, July 27, at 6 p.m. Don Grine, former pres-ident of the Torrey Pines Docents will be talking about the Torrey Pines State Reserve, a real treasure located on the coast between Del Mar and La Jolla. Grine will provide a movie of the park, discuss the history, fi-nancial problems affecting state parks, geology, animals, and vegetation of the Reserve, with the Torrey Pine being the park’s primary attraction. These trees are native only to the Reserve and to Santa Rosa Island. The seminar begins at 6 p.m.

Grine graduated from M.I.T. with a B.S., M.S. and PhD., all in geo-physics. Field trips in his geology courses provided a good introduction to nature in New England and Nova Scotia. Grine still does guided walks for school children during the school year and nature walks for the public on weekends. He does talks on Torrey Pines Reserve and on local geology for various organizations.

Please RSVP to Morgan Run at (858) 756-2471. Morgan Run Resort is located at 5690 Cancha De Golf, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091.

PROFESSORcontinued from page 11come to America.”

Supernak served as a visit-ing assistant professor at SUNY, 1980-81; and served as associate professor at Drexel University, Philadelphia, 1981-84; and, in 1984, moved to San Diego and joined the SDSU faculty as an as-sociate professor. He was pro-moted to full professor in 1988.

Most rush-hour motorists regard freeway driving as an or-deal to be endured for the privi-lege of living and working in sunny San Diego, but Supernak has long regarded the I-15 as a “national lab” for creating better traffic management systems.

From 1997 to 2001, he was the principal investigator of the $1.2 million federal grant pilot program for the Congestion (Value) Pricing system on the HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes of the I-15. The successful implementation of the comput-er-controlled trip pricing geared to traffic volume was a world-first now imitated by other cities to improve highway traffic flows.

“Traffic unfortunately is a phenomenon of our civilization and it’s not going away because of growth and San Diego has tre-mendous growth. The problems we are facing as traffic engineers will only be more complicated,” he said.

But solutions like HOT lanes and soon to be introduced “managed lanes” on I-15, he added, will definitely help, combined hope-fully with other solutions including flexible work hours and “smart growth” to reduce commuting distances.

Looking even more into the future, Su-pernak anticipates seeing traffic engineers fur-ther develop “intelligent highway” experi-ments in which highways will be equipped with magnets and vehicles with special devic-es that will allow vehicles to be automatically

controlled and guided safely and evenly through rush hour traffic.

For civil engineers, the future bodes well for job opportunities, particularly in the areas of transportation, water-delivery systems and construction upgrading of the country’s aging infrastructure, Supernak predicts.

He is particularly proud of his role in winning the contract for a World Bank-spon-sored program to provide graduate training for engineering instructors from Nangarhar University, Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

The annual Del Mar Little League volunteer social was held at Arterra Restaurant in the Carmel Valley Marriott on June 8. More than 100 volunteers were in attendance including team sponsors, coaches and board members. There were 82 teams this year, ranging from t-ball level to Juniors, with over 900 players and 600 volunteers. This is Larry Jackel’s second year as DMLL Board President. He expressed his gratitude to the volunteers by saying, “This has been an incredibly rewarding experience and it is such a pleasure to work the board members and numerous volunteers. I saw great changes this season that benefitted both our kids as well as the community.” Larry will become board vice president next year. Besides the numerous team managers and coaches, there were also former athletes who volunteered their time and visited weekly games to inspire the young players. Among them was local San Diegan past minor league player Jared Eichelberger who played with the Chicago Cubs. He shared some of his winning league strategies with DMLL baseball players. One of the great accomplishments of the DMLL this year is being honored with hosting the District 31 Majors All Star Tournament this summer. It will be the first time in over 20 years of the leagues’ 50-year history that it is held locally. It paves the way to the Little League World series held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania during late August this year. The tournament will be held at Sage Canyon Park this summer July 2 through July 10. More than 100 volunteers will be needed during the nine-day event. Those interested can visit the website www.dmll.org for more information.

The Encinitas Gamers recruit student-athletes with high level academics and solid base-ball skills, from schools throughout the San Diego area. This year’s team, which features players from nine schools, captured a second straight San Diego Elite Tournament, allowing only five runs in four games, playing nearly flawless defense throughout. Sameer Jafri (Can-yon Crest Academy) picked up the win in the final game, throwing 5 strong innings, allow-ing only one run on 2 hits. Rhett Williams (Ramona) shut out a determined SDBC team for the final two innings to record the save. It took the Gamers ten innings to reach the finals by turning back the always scrappy, Team San Diego. Sammy Casinelli (La Costa Canyon) blasted a walk-off double to the center field wall, scoring Canyon Crest’s Riley Adams from second base for the games’ only run. Sam Sainz (Temecula Prep) threw seven shutout in-nings and Dakota Wilson (Del Norte) added three more to pick up the win. The Encinitas Gamers play in the USA Premier League and will compete in the July 4 Firecracker Showcase Tournament in Orange County, July 1-6.

The 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League made their dads proud on Father’s Day, as they made their way to the finals of the 19th An-nual Summer Heat Classic Tournament in Poway.

North Shore emerged from pool play to face the number-one seeded Claire-mont team, the highest-scoring team in the tourna-ment. North Shore was down by three runs early in the game, but continued to play stellar defense until their offense kicked into gear. Nicole Anderson went three for three at bat, hitting the game-winning, two-run home run propelling North Shore into the semi-finals against Peninsula.

“Nicole has driven the ball well this season, but that home run was absolute-ly uncatchable,” said North Shore manager Kent Zapata.

The semi-final game was a pitching and defensive game as North Shore pitcher Lauren Scheg held Peninsula scoreless until the final in-ning when they scored one run. North Shore was able to push across four runs, high-lighted by Christina Braga-do, who had a batting aver-age of over .500 for the tour-nament.

“Christina put so much pressure on their defense with her speed,” added Za-pata. “It’s what made the difference in that game.”

North Shore took on Bonita Valley in the champi-

onship game. It was the fourth time these two teams have faced off this season. Pitcher Maddie Ley limited Bonita Valley’s strong of-fense to only two runs in three innings. Ley had a 1.27 ERA for the entire tour-nament.

“Maddie had a great tournament, and was a big reason we were successful,” said Zapata. “She battled ev-ery pitch on the mound.”

The final game was close until the sixth inning when Bonita Valley scored four runs to take a 7-3 lead. North Shore was unable to catch up, finishing second in the tournament, but giv-ing their dads an exciting Father’s Day.

BY GIDEON RUBINCONTRIBUTOR

When asked his idea of a football player with great leadership qualities, Santa Fe Christian’s Andrew Buchanan cited former Chargers and current New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

“To me, the great leader is the guy who leaves it all on the field but then he doesn’t talk about it after the game,” said Buchanan, an incoming senior linebacker/quarterback.

“He’s just subtle, he talks about how it’s a combined team effort and he doesn’t gloat.”

When asked the same question, incoming SFC run-ning back/defensive back Jarrod Watson-Lewis cited An-drew Buchanan.

“Motivational,” Watson-Lewis said of Buchanan. “In-spirational, really.”

In recent months, Buchanan has earned his stripes as an inspirational leader after rejoining his team for spring workouts just weeks after experiencing potentially life-threatening complications from a knee surgery in April.

Buchanan suffered a severed artery during the proce-dure and a related blood clot a few days later.

Undeterred, Buchanan has resumed football-related activities, participating in spring weight-lifting and run-ning drills while wearing a surgically-installed metal brace on his knee that weighs more than two pounds.

“When we’re in our workouts and doing a lot of hard work some people get discouraged, like ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore,’ ” Watson-Lewis said. “Then you think about that injury, it’s beyond what anyone can imag-ine.

“It just makes you feel like, OK, I should be pushing harder. It makes (practices) easier.”

Buchanan has prided himself for pushing harder since long before the injury in just about every endeavor he’s pursued.

Buchanan, who also plays on the volleyball team, has maintained an off-the-charts 4.67 GPA at SFC. He plans to

major in mechanical or chemical engineering at UCLA, UC Berkeley, or Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo).

“ I’ve always grown up trying to push myself to do the best I can in school, and that carried over into when I started playing sports,” Buchanan said. “I just treat every-thing as a competition, whether it’s sports or school.”

Buchanan played football on a bum knee his junior year, splitting time between the varsity and junior varsity. He suffered the injury doing quick start-and-stop sprints called “suicides.”

“My body went one way and the knee didn’t come with it,” he said of the injury. “It just kind of stuck in the turf.”

The injury left him with a torn MCL and damaged growth plate. What was supposed to be a two-day proce-dure left him in the intensive care unit for nine days.

Buchanan was about four days into his hospital stay when he learned of the complications.

“I was on so much pain medication it didn’t really hit me what happened,” Buchanan said.

Buchanan said the hardest part of the injury was miss-ing out on activities for several months. He had to sit out all of his junior volleyball season, and his football activities have been restricted.

He’s expected to have his brace surgically removed in late July, and will be able to participate in limited activities a week after that. He’ll be able to participate in full contact drills by mid-August. He expects to make a complete recov-ery.

“I can’t do everything, but I’m doing everything I can, trying to be a team leader for my teammates,” Buchanan said.

It’s a role he relishes.“I just want to show them that nothing’s going to slow

me down,” Buchanan said. “I’m trying to do the most that I can through my actions to show (the younger players) that I have a good work ethic so they can model it after mine.”

And through his example, Buchanan has given the Ea-gles leadership they can trust.

“It shows that he’s fearless, he’s just a fighter,” Watson-Lewis said. “When things are going wrong during a game you just look over at (Buchanan) and you know every-thing’s going to be OK. You know he’ll always be there for you.”

Buchanan, a 5-foot-10, 170-pounder with below aver-age speed, strength and size, more than makes up for what he lacks in tangible tools with a passion for the game and energetic playing style that rubs off on teammates.

He’s projected to be the team’s backup quarterback, but could start at middle linebacker, Eagles coach Nick Rus-cetta said.

“He’s one of those kids where if you had 11 of them on your team you’d probably never lose a game,” Ruscetta said. “Kids who don’t think they can play sports can look at him and say ‘if he can do it, anybody can do it.’ ”

Buchanan earns his stripes; Eagle’s leadership, tenacity, inspires teammates

Recently at Del Norte High School, the Cathedral Catholic girls swim and dive team won their fourth straight CIF Division II title after a meet-long, pressure packed battle with Valhalla in which both teams outdistanced Mt. Carmel, Westview, Canyon Crest and La Jol-la. Going into the finals, Valhalla appeared poised to threaten Cathedral’s title streak. That Valhalla was a threat was not lost on Cathedral head coach Jeff Owen. “We scored out the meet based on the prelims and diving which showed us going into finals tied 195 to 195 with Valhalla.”

True to form, the two teams went into the last event of the meet with Cathedral hold-ing a slim six point lead and the relays for the two teams seeded first and second. As the meet announcer let everyone know how tight the team race was, Owen reflected that “after watching the girls consistently hit best times throughout the meet I was confident they could do it, but I’d be lying if I did say I was nervous.” Cathedral’s 400 free relay of Jenna Harris, Kim Boone, Molly Barry and Roz Kackman stepped up and shaved over five seconds off of their top qualifying preliminary swim to win and clinch the title for the Dons.

Throughout the morning, the Cathedral girls responded to the pressure with great swims. Owen noted that “the girls knew that every opportunity to move up a place from

Water polo player Cory Nasoff, a 2007 Torrey Pines graduate and Cal Bears runner up NCAA finalist, has been selected to represent the USA at the upcoming World University Games in China.

Head coach Marc Hunt recently announced the Men’s World Uni-versity Games roster that will compete at the World University Games this Aug. 11-23 in Shenzhen, China. The squad represents some of the best recent college aged talent the United States has to offer. Team USA has been slotted in Group C along with Serbia, France, and Singapore, and will meet those teams in group play to start off the tourney open-ing with Singapore on Aug. 11.

Team USA has had success in the event earning consecutive first place finishes in 1991 and 1993. The 1991 title came under the direc-tion of UC-Irvine’s Ted Newland in Sheffield, England, while the most recent championship team was guided by the late Steve Heaston of Cal in 1993 in Buffalo, New York. The United States last competed in the World University Games in 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia, claiming a sixth place finish.

their prelim standing was the way to win the meet.” The tone was set in the first event of the meet, the 200 medley relay. Jenna Harris, Kim Boone, Roz Kackman and Katie Kochalko won for the Dons with Valhalla finishing third.

In the 200 freestyle, Cathedral got big swims from Roz Kackman (1st), Molly Barry (3rd) and Ashley Weedman (7th). Kackman’s time of 1:51.92 was an All-American consideration time, and she continued her outstanding performance winning the 100 butterfly. Barry took second in the 500 freestyle with a 4:59.43, also an All-American consideration time. Other key contributors for the Dons were Harris (4th – 100 backstroke/5th – 50 free), Kochalko (8th – 100 butterfly/ 9th – 200 IM), Weedman (5th – 500 free), Emilie Myers (8th – 100 but-terfly), and Boone (6th – 100 breaststro ke). Weedman, Myers, Barry and Kochalko com-bined to take 5th in the 200 freestyle relay and diver Kylie Sullivan placed 7th.

Owen enjoyed the team victory because “every swimmer had a role to play, and swim-ming is usually such an individual sport. It was great watching the girls accomplish this to-gether.” Graduating senior Kim Boone was selected as the recipient of the CIF Sportsman-ship award.

For years after Muffy Walker’s youngest son began suffering from the symptoms of bipolar disorder at age 4, her family struggled with the impacts — doctors who initially misdiagnosed his condition, schoolmates who teased the boy and adults who feared and misun-derstood the illness.

“They called him mentalhead, psy-cho and told him to go back to the men-tal hospital,” recalled Walker of the childish taunts lobbed at her son when he was 7 or 8 years old. And it wasn’t just children, she said: his schoolmates’ parents were leery of allowing their chil-dren to socialize with her son, and even firefighters who were called to a super-market during a manic episode suggested the boy merely needed stricter discipline.

“My son has never been in trouble with the law, never hurt anyone, never been in a psychiatric hospital; he simply has a brain illness called bipolar disor-

der,” said Walker. The response by the public, she said, “is the fear of the un-known.”

The local resident’s experiences led her to found the International Bipolar Foundation, which celebrated its fourth anniversary this month. Also this month, Walker, 54, was recognized for her work with the prestigious Mogens Schou Award for Public Service from the International Society for Bipolar Disor-ders, an organization of researchers, clini-cians, social workers and people affected by the illness.

The award — named for a Danish researcher who confirmed the use of lith-ium to treat bipolar disorder — was pre-sented at a ceremony held in Pittsburgh during the society’s biannual conference.

David Miklowitz, professor of psy-chiatry at UCLA, nominated Walker for the award. Miklowitz, whose work is fo-cused on bipolar disorder, said he became aware of Walker through a newsletter she produces to educate the public and assist

people dealing with bipolar disorder, which is also known as manic-depressive illness.

People who suffer from the disorder are prone to severe mood changes, result-ing from episodes of mania, when they become overexcited and agitated, and depression, when they become lethargic, deeply sad and hopeless, according to the website of the National Institutes of Mental Health. The illness is believed to be hereditary, according to Miklowitz.

Walker, said Miklowitz, is “a very high energy person who’s done a lot of outreach to the community, particularly to consumers or caregivers.”

Walker’s newsletter, which can be found on her foundation’s website, www.internationalbipolarfoundation.org, con-tains a wealth of information helpful to anyone with an interest in the disorder, including himself, said Miklowitz.

The award was well-deserved, said

A founding board member of the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, Denise Stillinger served as the first treasurer for 15 years. Her involvement

with the lagoon be-gan as a volunteer patroller back in 1986, before a full-time county ranger was assigned to the reserve. In addition to her current duties as president of the Conservancy, she continues her 25-year commitment as a do-cent, leading school groups on walks at the reserve. Stillinger teaches biology at the San Elijo campus of

MiraCosta College, a faculty position she’s held for 22 years. She attended UCSD as an undergrad and completed her graduate work at SDSU. Still-inger enjoys traveling, camping, and playing soc-cer. Her “midlife soccer crisis” has taken her to tournaments in Las Vegas, Orlando, Sydney, Aus-tralia, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. And there is talk of a trip to Torino, Italy, in 2013.

1. What brought you to this neighbor-hood?

I moved to Cardiff in January 1985 as a newlywed. Twenty-six years of marriage and two progeny later, I’m still here.

2. What makes this town special to you?

Cardiff is a genuine and diverse com-munity, not a homogeneous suburb. There are all types of people in my neighborhood; from immigrants to millionaires and from toddlers to octogenarians. You can walk to the post office, the library, the grocery store, VG’s donut shop, a taco stand, the beach or a bar. What could be better?

3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, sub-tract, or improve in the area?

I’d resurrect the old train station that use to be in Cardiff for office space for the Conservancy. I’d also make it easier to get a campsite at San Elijo State Beach (priority

Supplying a young girl in Cambodia with just $10 a month can make her the breadwinner of her family, help to eradicate poverty, and probably keep that child out of the sex trade.

This is the message Ni-cole Sahin is trying to get across through her partner-ship with American Assis-tance for Cambodia. Estab-lished by a journalist to provide opportunities for Cambodian children, the program seeks to stop the disturbing cycle that places children, girls in particular, into the sex industry.

Sahin, senior director of the international busi-ness consulting firm, High Street Partners, has made it her mission to raise funds to start a school for chil-dren in rural Cambodia to provide them with an edu-cation that will allow them to live a life they could otherwise only dream of.

Sahin has visited more than 50 countries and cir-cumnavigated the globe

twice. She said her travels provided her with a win-dow on how others live. “My trips have made me see how much further money can go in other

places,” she explained. “I want to show that you can make a huge difference with something that is so attainable.” Her excitement is infectious.

She has recruited a team of seven inspired women to help her build the school. Their goal is for each to raise $2,500 to 3,000. Her team is com-prised of Denise Hummel of Carlsbad; Sayaka Adachi of Vista; Los Angeles-local Mary Murphy; Carolyn Taylor Meyer, who lives up the coast in Monterey; Bostonite Jeannette Van Der Velde; and Casie Gam-brel, an expat living in Australia. Since May 26, they have collectively raised $7,000.

“I’d been thinking about this for a long time, and once I recruited these women, I knew it was pos-sible to build the school,” Sahin said. “There are two tools to eradicating pover-ty: educating women and having a well.”

In Cambodia, 10 per-cent of children die before

their first birthday, and many of these deaths are related to waterborne dis-

eases. “The school is just the beginning. It will have a well that will provide ac-

cess to clean water. We don’t think about some-thing that simple, but ac-cess to clean water there is key,” Sahin insisted.

The Asian Develop-ment Bank will match funds raised for the con-struction of the school. It’s estimated the total cost of the building, with 3 to 6 classrooms, desks, chalk-boards, and materials, is $19,000. Funds will also provide for a nationally certified teacher for two years, as well as a comput-er, solar panel to power the school, and a bookcase full of texts.

The school’s opening ceremony is slated for spring/summer 2012. Once the school is up and run-ning, however, Sahin and her team’s work will still not be done. These ambi-tious women plan on ar-ranging microfinance op-portunities in the village, as a way to provide work opportunities for graduates and to stimulate the econo-my in the targeted village.

BY MARLENA MEDFORDSTAFF WRITER

The Del Mar Farmers’ Market has long been a com-munity staple for farm-to-fork fresh food and, after nearly 25 years, it has the distinction of being one of the oldest markets in the county. When this weekly open-air market launched in 1985, in fact, Vista was the only other city to offer a farmers’ market. Today, there are more than 50 farmers’ markets in the county, with new ones steadily opening.

Indeed, things have got-ten more competitive since that first market day in 1985 and, as a result, the volunteer board that runs the Del Mar Farmers’ Market is working to make sure it stays strong for another 25 years. Based on customer feedback, they’ve added more interna-tional foods and prepared meals, which have proven to be a hit with customers on-the-go, and they’re finishing touches on a market logo and website, which will hopefully launch within the next few months.

“We want to focus on taking this market to its maximum potential,” said board member Nicole Holli-

day, adding that the group is also planning a 25th anni-versary celebration for Sep-tember. “The founders of this market had an incredible vi-sion and we’re trying to con-tinue to build on that.”

Those founders — a group of seven women — also helped Del Mar Farmers’ Market gain its nonprofit sta-tus, something that is truly unique for farmers’ markets. To date, it has provided more than $200,000 to Del Mar community efforts. This year alone, it will give $10,000 back to the community via donations: to purchase a new waste bin for the city; toward

funding for the new life-guard station; to the San Die-guito River Valley Conser-vancy; to the Del Mar Li-brary; and to Del Mar Com-munity Connections; and for funding scholarships for col-lege students who work at the farmers’ market.

“We take a lot of pride in our nonprofit status, and we’re committed to the well-being of this community,” Holliday added. And in re-turn, the community has stayed largely committed to the farmers’ market, as have many of the vendors. Case in point: the Del Mar Farmers’ Market scholarship fund is

named in honor of Mary Ma-ciel, one of the original long-time vendors. Today, Maciel’s daughter-in-law Estela can still be found at the market every Saturday, where she works as manager, the only paid staffer for the non-profit.

“Stories like that are neat, and they’re part of

what make our market so special,” Holliday said. “This is a place you can come get berries picked that morning, and talk to the farmers who picked them. It’s a way for people to eat fresh quality food, support local farmers, chat with your neighbors, and support something that’s

giving back to your commu-nity.”

The Del Mar Farmers’ Market is held every Saturday afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m. at 1050 Camino Del Mar, be-tween 10th Street and 11th Street. For more information, please email [email protected].

The tides are shifting at Mediterranean Room this summer. The menu is being

refreshed and the management has brought in renowned Chicago chef Jason McLeod as a temporary consultant to revitalize the historical La Jolla hangout.

Staying true to its name, the new menu from executive chef Lance Repp stretches from Spain to Greece (with many stops between) with a feel that is light, healthful and exciting.

McLeod notes positive trends all over San Diego’s restaurant scene as part of the impetus for change. He says the city is catching up with dining hot spots around the country. “It’s an exciting time to be here and we want to be a part of that.”

New dishes — two or three at a time — are popping up on the menu, matching a heightened emphasis on seasonal local ingredients from sources like Chino Farms and Crows Pass Farm. New events include the Mediterranean Nights every Thursday through Saturday, featuring music on the patio with

tapas and small tasting plates that should be great to grab between dances. Monday night barbecues offer three courses on the patio, and Sunday Suppers offer a three-course meal served family-style.

Chef Lance has been at Mediterranean Room for two years, but moved up to executive chef last September. He says his training is in traditional French cuisine, but that he gravitates toward other Mediterranean fare, such as Spanish and Italian, as well as Indian cuisine (some curries should appear on the menu in the near future). While the restaurant has struggled with a large menu in the past, Chef Lance’s approach has been to

clean it up and pare it down. His newer dishes, like the King Salmon, focus on just a few carefully prepared, fresh and delicious ingredients.

The key at Mediterranean Room has perhaps been a level of consistency despite the changes. The staff is confident in the direction it’s heading, and new dishes aren’t overwhelming the existing menu overnight.

And part of the new efforts, says McLeod, has simply been to look at why people came to the Mediterranean Room at various points in its history. After all, guests have enjoyed a pretty nice view of the ocean for the better part of a century.

Celebrate Ginger Rogers’ 100th birthday at Artists Space Gallery at Southfair in Del Mar on Saturday, July 16. The event, to be held from 6-9 p.m., will honor the world-renowned actress, dancer, motion picture and Broadway star Ginger Rogers, as well as her mother Lela.

Photographer H. Montgomery-Drysdale, a close friend of Rogers and her mother, will provide photographs and in-formation about the Rogers ladies, much of which has nev-er been seen or known. Montgomery-Drysdale met the Rogers women at the La Jolla Playhouse in 1963, where she was the director of advertising, public relations and pho-tography at the time.

Of special interest to the photographer and her associ-ate, Dayna Carroll, is the fact that Ginger’s mother was one of the first 10 American women to join the U.S. Marines in 1918. Daughter Ginger was just 7 years old. Lela Rogers was a gifted writer, editor of the Marine publication “Leather-neck” and many Hollywood scripts. Retired members of the Marines, men and women, will join in the festivities.

The opening ceremony will feature members of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps from Oceanside High School.

Artists Space, which is owned by Rachel Turner Thom-as, is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd. No entry fees.

Lisa Weinreb, a Carmel Val-ley resident and vice presi-dent/secretary of the foun-dation’s board.

“Muffy lives and breathes this organization,” said Weinreb. “(The award) is so deserved, I was so thrilled for her.”

“She is an amazing woman, we can’t keep up with her,” Weinreb said.

Walker, whose husband is John Reed, CEO of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in La Jol-la, founded the organization with Weinreb, and two oth-er women, Lynn Muto of Rancho Santa Fe and Karen Sheffres of Poway, all of whom have children diag-nosed with the illness.

Along with serving as the foundation’s president, Walker continues to run support groups for people affected by bipolar disorder from her home.

The nonprofit founda-tion’s three major goals are “to eliminate Bipolar Disor-der through the advance-ment of research; to provide and enhance care and sup-port services for all affected; and to erase associated stig-ma through public educa-tion,” according to the group’s website.

Among its initiatives are raising funds to make re-search grants, and finishing work on a book, called “Healthy Living With Bipo-

lar Disorder,” which will be available online later this year, Walker said.

The chapters are written by various experts, and fo-cus on different topics, such as medication, spirituality, dealing with bipolar disor-der during pregnancy, nutri-tion, and caring for people with the disorder, Walker said.

Walker, who holds mas-ter’s degrees in psychiatric nursing and business admin-istration, estimated she spends about 60 hours each week on foundation work. “It’s my life, it’s what I do.”

She hopes to continue building the organization’s presence both international-ly and in the United States in the coming years. “We’d like to be the go-to organiza-tion for anybody with bipo-lar disorder.”

Walker’s son, Court Reed, currently takes four medications, and his condi-tion is under control, al-though the medications do cause serious side effects, she said. He has been attending boarding school in Illinois, where he is having typical high school experiences such as prom, clubs and sports teams, and earning an “A” grade point average.

“He’s doing great, I’m really proud of him,” Walker said.

Over the past several decades, medical science has developed a wider range of drugs to treat bipolar disor-der, along with more effec-tive psychotherapy meth-ods, said Miklowitz, who

also has written a book on the subject, “The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide.”

But those who don’t get proper treatment can find themselves in and out of the hospital, missing work and even in danger of committing suicide, Miklowitz said. “If it’s not under control you can have a really tough life.”

While the public is becoming more aware of mental ill-ness and hopefully more tolerant, said Miklowitz, a stigma regarding mental illness still exists. Bipolar disorder, said Miklowitz, Walker and Weinreb, is no different than illness-es such as cancer or diabetes, and should be treated the same.

“I still think there’s a basic mistrust in our society of mental illness, and a misunderstanding. So we have a long way to go,” Miklowitz said. For more information, visit www.internationalbipolarfoundation.org.

America’s 235th anniver-sary of its split from Great Britain has swelled to become the nation’s largest secular shindig. Celebrations show off with rock-star pyrotech-nics, machismo-grilling skills, puerile face-stuffing contests, and a smorgasbord of Ameri-can eats from pork butts to peanut butter cookies.

Instead of celebrating Independence Day by char-ring bovine at a backyard barbecue, here’s a new game plan that might include whipping up some portable

picnic foods (sans the mayo and other perishables) and heading to the beach or backyard to go AWOL.

Don’t be disarmed by an untraditional Fourth menu. Keep things simple with an assortment of sandwiches, salads and chilled summer soups — smoky gazpacho, watermelon basil, cilantro avocado, blueberry banana, icy lemon or minty Georgia peach — to provide tasty re-plenishment at land or sea.

Have plenty of common supplies on hand — top-pings, condiments, and pa-triotic red, white and blue potato and pasta salads and coleslaw with vinaigrette bas-es. My grandma’s classified recipe for stuffed red pepper slaw pairs well with a variety of hero and submarine sand-wiches on assorted baguettes stuffed with turkey bacon, grilled chicken breasts, and nightshades such as Porto-bellos, marinated eggplant, red onions, technicolor pep-per slices, and heirloom to-matoes.

For the sweet-tooths, try jam or bananas and nut but-ter sandwiches, like almond,

walnut, macadamia or ca-shew.

Here are a few safe-food strategies for deployment:

1. Keep hot foods hot and cold ones cold to avoid the formation of airborne bugs.

2. Never let different food groups share cutting surfaces, knives, utensils or dish towels to avoid cross-contamination. Wash hands obsessively, especially after handling raw eggs, chicken or meat.

3. The only food that should be served pink is the watermelon. Meat, fish, fowl and mushrooms need to be cooked-through, but not in-cinerated. Burnt offerings can be carcinogenic, includ-ing “jerk” and “blackened Cajun.”

4. Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers immedi-ately after you’ve finished eating.

5. Mustard, barbecue sauce and ketchup are safe, heat-forgiving condiments, while milk or egg-based ones (like mayo) are not.

My patriotic contribu-

tion includes a couple of In-dependence Day recipes with an explosion of flavors so di-vine your taste buds will surely salute them.

Patriotic Potato Salad

Ingredients: 2 pounds of red, white

and blue potatoes (finger-lings, baby creamers or other waxy varieties)

1/2 red onion, diced1/3 cup black olives,

sliced1/2 red pepper, diced1/3 cup extra virgin ol-

ive oil1/4 cup champagne vin-

egar1 teaspoon spicy mus-

tardSea salt, cumin and cay-

enne pepper to taste

Method: Boil the pota-toes in their jackets until soft but firm. Cool. Cut into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl, combine the spuds and veg-gies. In another bowl whisk the oil, vinegar, mustard and spices. Toss a desired amount of the dressing into the pota-to mixture, blend well. Re-frigerate. Safe to deploy out-doors for several hours.

Method: Preheat oven to 375° F. In a 2-quart baking dish toss the peaches with cane sugar, cinnamon and almond extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Crumble but-ter into coarse chunks and add to the flour/sugar. Sprin-kle mixture over the peaches and top with nuts. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. If near the home-front, serve with tri-colored frozen treats – strawberry, va-nilla bean and blueberry or other funky blue hue — sor-bets, gelatos, soy, rice or co-conut milks.

A trip to the hospital can be daunting, but for children, the prospect can be downright scary. To ease their fears, Rady Chil-dren’s Hospital of San Di-ego turned to art.

In 2009, Aesthetics Inc. commissioned fine artists Ken and Stephanie Goldman to create 18 wall coverings for the newly renovated Rady Children’s Hospital. The husband-and-wife team was charged with transforming patient rooms, corridors, and the neonatal intensive care unit, into whimsical and “fun” spaces. To that end, the pair painted outdoor scenes, featuring every-thing from tide pools to outer space, using trans-parent watercolors on Arches watercolor paper and non-water soluble ink pen that were then en-larged seven or eight times.

It was not the first time the couple worked together. In the mid-1980s, Stephanie complet-ed an apprenticeship with Ken that then evolved into a marriage and artis-tic partnership. Ken has authored seven instruc-tional books and exhibited across the United States, Europe and Mexico. His

work is displayed in the permanent collections of numerous museums, in-cluding the San Diego Mu-seum of Fine Art, and the San Diego Museum of Nat-ural History.

Stephanie spent time living and studying in Eu-rope, focusing on Europe-an and Renaissance art, as well as anthroposophic art therapy. Her child portrait series, “I Am A Child,” originally displayed in the Riverside Art Museum, is now in the permanent col-lection of the Osteopathic Center for Children and Families in San Diego.

Both Goldmans teach at the Athenaeum School

of the Arts in La Jolla. They often collaborate, and have produced multi-ple large-scale mural proj-ects, including works at the San Diego Humane So-ciety and in private resi-dences.

Reaction to their mu-ral work at Rady has been overwhelmingly positive, and this year, the couple was asked by Sharp and Children’s MRI Center CEO Keith Prince to com-plete a series of murals and cartoon vignettes in Rady’s new MRI Center.

A child’s toy table with sea animals provided the inspiration for the art.

“When I described the

theme and design ideas, they seemed to be very in-terested in conveying and developing the theme,” said Prince of the Goldma-ns.

“They quickly provid-ed renderings that matched the ideas we dis-cussed. It was impressive how close the renderings were to the concepts.”

Atypical of the art Ken and Stephanie usually pro-duce, the murals feature cartoon images of sea life, and are intended to look like a seascape as viewed from a submarine — in this case, the MRI scanner.

Completed three days early in a total of eight days, the MRI room mural is 9 feet by 19 feet, while the waiting room mural is 4 feet by 8 feet. Featuring colorful fish and scuba-diving children, the mu-rals are upbeat and fun. The pair also painted ap-proximately 30 smaller vi-gnettes throughout the rooms, and four small im-ages directly onto the MRI scanner.

Like the artwork the couple previously com-pleted for the hospital, the

studies were originally done in watercolor and then scaled to fit the walls. The final works were done in acrylic, with-out airbrush or spray guns, due to potential interfer-ence with the MRI ma-chine.

When asked why two award-winning artists who have exhibited works in-ternationally would de-vote time to painting car-toon images at Rady, Ken’s answer was simple: “Being able to bring artwork to kids who are frightened and need brightening up in a sterile environment was a great opportunity.”

If the young patients who have seen the murals and vignettes so far are any indication, the Gold-mans have succeeded. Children enter the room and immediately investi-gate the underwater scenes, pronouncing them “cool” and “fun.” Some have even developed sto-ries for the creatures they see on the walls, a perfect distraction from what for many of the kids is a lita-ny of medical procedures and tests.

If you are selling a home or estate in Del Mar, read this...Prime Real Estate in Del Mar is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors.

The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Every-

thing is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan.

In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Del Mar can now be done at an amazingly steep discount.

All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writ-ing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account.

Del Mar real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Del Mar real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market

Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Del Mar real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you at-tract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate?

The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.delmartimes.net searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 99 countries in March, 2011, and generated 18,519 visits from countries worldwide.

It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily foreign visitors come from the United Kingdom, Canada, India,

Australia, the Philippines, and China.Yes, the countries with the largest numbers of foreign investors,

looking for Del Mar real estate.And those investors also work with local agents intimately

familiar with the Del Mar market. And those agents are not only looking online, they’re reading the The Times because it has far more local Del Mar listings than any other paper in town.

So to maximize your home or estate’s exposure, it’s important your agent is using a dual track: 1) showcasing your home or estate with ads on www.delmartimes.net and, 2) running ads and listings in the The Times.

To reach foreign investors, be sure your agent has a well-developed marketing plan

To sell your home or estate quickly and for the most money possible, a thorough marketing plan is a must. So make sure your agent’s plan includes:

Proper “staging” of your home-and property.

Showcasing your home or listing in the local paper—like The Times.

Holding open houses, including

“broker previews”. Adding your home to the local multiple listing service so buyers

and agents will see it. Preparing and sending brochures or well designed flyers to

potential buyers. Using Internet advertising such as www.delmartimes.net,

which attracts tens of thousands of readers monthly from 99 countries worldwide. With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is preparedto sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.

DELMARTIMES.NET FAST FACTS:

1. The site daily attracts its most unique foreign visitors from:

2. The site in March, 2011 attracted 18,579 visitors from 99 countries.

DEL MAR TIMES FAST FACTS:

1. The paper is hand delivered by the US Post Office to 7,460 Del Mar homes each week.

2. The paper has more local real estate listings than all other papers delivered to Del Mar combined.

Carmel Valley--After failing to lose weight through calorie counting and exercise, Diana Gordon was at wits end. She gave up hoping for a beach body, believing she had the wrong body type. It wasn’t until her husband Rob convinced her to do things differently that she began to see real results. 42 days later, she was down 21 lbs and estimates she increased her productivity at work 35%.

Diana says she followed the plan to get her husband off her back. She calls it her accidental weight loss. She’s never felt better.

Diana’s results are very normal for this program. We see people losing anywhere from ½ to 2 lbs per day following these 3 easy steps, says Rob.

The problem with most diets is they teach our bodies to gain weight by trying to use will power to avoid foods.

Studies have shown up to 97% of dieters regain their lost weight plus add another 10% over a 3-year period thanks to diets signaling our bodies to go into starvation mode which causes us to store food as fat.

Rob’s easy, 3-step plan retrains our bodies to burn fat instead of store it. In fact, Rob admits most people can’t lose weight because they are working too hard and being too strict

Our bodies naturally want to be lean, but we work really hard through dieting and intense exercise to teach our bodies to store fat, and that’s why I’ve created my easy, 3 step plan to reveal the truth about weight loss, says Rob.

Rob learned these insider secrets after years spent working in the fitness industry.

Rob will give his report away free to the first 101 people to call his free-recorded message at 858-997-1293

It costs a lot for me to produce my program so I can only give away 101 of them and I only want it going to people who have struggled to lose weight and need a simple, fast solution to get there.

Rob does not believe in overnight weight loss, diet pills, or gimmicks…just real strategies and real results.

FREE report reveals 3 easy steps Carmel Valley resident used to accidently lose 21 lbs in 42 days In a move to accommodate its flour-

ishing student enrollment, Cal Coast Academy is trading in its long-standing Solana Beach zip code for a new 21st cen-tury campus located in the city of Del Mar.

“As our unparalleled academic model continues to be the quintessential solution to traditional schooling and our student enrollment continues to grow, we needed to find the prime facility in the optimal lo-cation for our evolving development,” states Cal Coast Academy’s Founder and Principal Jan Dunning. “This campus ex-pansion will allow us to increase our stu-dent capacity as we simultaneously sharp-en our focus and continually advance to-wards our educational vision.”

The new school campus, which was scheduled to make its opening debut on Monday, June 27, is located at 445 Marine View Avenue, suite 105, in the Timbers

Building. The facility will accommodate the school’s current population and enable further development for the school’s fu-ture growth. “With our 2011-2012 stu-dent enrollment numbers nearing maxi-mum capacity, we have already begun dis-cussing adding additional square footage onto our new campus site,” says Dunning.

The new 3,000-square-foot Del Mar campus boasts a student computer lab, vir-tual learning, a library, substantial class-rooms and world-class technology. Upon campus construction completion, each one of the eight classrooms will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as smart boards, video conferencing, and data/video projectors.

When Henrik Ibsen re-leased “Peer Gynt” in 1867, he thought his play was so bizarre that it would never be performed.

The plot involves Peer, a man who both swindles and charms his way through life looking for fame and fortune, but who has dreams of becoming a troll that are very real to him.

Now, 144 years later, the infamous work is still being staged, as La Jolla Playhouse’s version (a co-production with the Kan-sas City Repertory Theatre) runs through July 24 at the Sheila and Hughes Po-tiker Theatre.

Director and “adap-tor” David Schweizer (“To-bacco Road”) began direct-ing right out of college. His repertoire includes ev-erything from operas to casino shows, as well as national and international theatrical productions staged regionally and Off-Broadway. His direction of the 2000 Broadway hit, “And God Created Great

Whales,” won an OBIE Award.

Schweizer did an earli-er adaptation of “Peer Gynt” for international au-

diences, but made minor changes for the Playhouse show. His “Peer Gynt” is a sweeping epic with five ac-tors playing 40 characters.

“I fell in love with the piece as young man,” Sch-weizer said. “And I hit upon the idea of doing it with just a couple of actors as the story’s 40 odd char-acters. That first showing in the 1970s came to the attention of Joseph Papp and launched me into the-ater. Papp became my mentor.

“My translation of Ib-sen is quite faithful in that all of events and incidents are directly those in play. I haven’t made up anything or created scenes, but when his language would get playful and colloquial, I found modern equiva-lents for that. Audiences know it’s an older play, but that it’s brought into the moment, and hopeful-ly, it has a timeless quali-ty.”

In a press release tout-ing the production, Play-house artistic director Christopher Ashley said, “Schweizer has taken Ib-

sen’s epic tale of one man’s search for identity and made it funny, unexpected and completely relevant to our contemporary lives.”

Schweizer said Ibsen was a writer who chal-lenged what you could do in the theater. “He has a way that weaves real scenes and dream scenes, and plays with different tones that are highly emo-tionally butted up against scenes that are hilarious and almost vaudevillian.”

Directing five actors in 40 different roles is a chal-lenge for all involved in the process, so Schweizer said he relies on skilled and charming actors who want to watch and savor the task of the play.

“They bring an enor-mous amount of ideas to rehearsals, and of course, I have to come equipped

with ways to help them and share the vision of how the different charac-ters will register on stage and what kind of tone is right for the scene.”

He called “Peer Gynt” surprising and entertain-ing, with an epiphany ending that’s very positive and emotional.

“I’m very conscious of an audience taking away a boon to their spirit. I have a lot of love for the audi-ence, they have been my friends all my life,” Sch-weizer said.

The cast includes Dan-ny Gavigan (Peer Gynt, Buttonmoulder and oth-ers); Birgit Huppuch (Ase, Solveig and others); Luis Moreno (Peer Gynt, Troll King and others); Kate Cullen Roberts (Ingrid, Anitra and others); and Evan Zes (as Peer Gynt,

Mads Moen and others).David Zinn designed

the sets. Christina Wright created the costumes.

Coldwell Banker’s Community Foundation hosted its 5th Annual All American Charity Event, the company’s most successful event to date.

The June 20 fundraiser took place at the beautiful Ran-cho Bernardo Inn and raised over $84,000 to benefit over 95 charities. $11,000 was donated to this year’s main beneficia-ry the Warrior Foundation’s Freedom Station, a center for the recovery, healing, job counseling, trade and skills educa-tion, as well as transitional mediation for soldiers who have so bravely served and sacrificed for our country in the war against terror. The Warrior Foundation is a San Diego-based nonprofit organization dedicated to assist honor and sup-port our military heroes while they forge a path toward re-covery and education in pursuit of their dreams.

Coldwell Banker’s 5th Annual All American Charity Event sold out months in advance this year and had over 350 guests attend the all-day event which included a golf

tournament, day at the spa and tennis packages. A local band, The Heroes, provided live entertainment throughout the evening’s dinner and cocktail hour reception while guests placed bids on over 100 donated live and silent auc-tion items.

“This was our first contribution to the Warrior Founda-tion as we establish an ongoing commitment to help the or-ganization support our local military heroes and warriors,” said Coldwell Banker’s Event Committee Chairman Ali Saleh. “It was beautiful day and an amazing opportunity to meet and honor those who have so bravely served and sacri-ficed for our country.”
