BY KATHY DAYWhile city officials still haven’t

decided when to request bids for a new lease on the 80 acres that’s home to the San Diego Polo Club, life goes on for the club and the or-ganizers of the Surf Cup soccer tour-

nament.The land, which the city ac-

quired as part of the development of Fairbanks Ranch, has been used by the polo club since 1986 for its matches and offices. City officials decided late last year to request new proposals for the lease, even though club officials proposed their own rent increase in exchange for a new lease.

Noting that the club has not seen anything from the city, club

president Ron Bonaguidi said, “For now, it’s business as usual. … We pay rent and keep moving forward.”

The club pays $9,842 a month to the city and subleases the proper-ty to raise money to help support and maintain the property. One of the groups with a sublease is the Surf Cup soccer tournament, which is gearing up for the 2012 competi-tion that will draw about 7,500 par-ticipants.

The club also subleases the site

for lacrosse tournaments and corpo-rate and charitable events.

Last week Alex Roth, spokes-man for Mayor Jerry Sanders, said it will likely be “this summer” when the request for proposals is issued.

“We’re not saying anything de-finitive at this point,” he added.

When asked about the situation in March after the polo club’s lease expired, Roth said the city would

owned her two-and-a-half-acre farm high on a hill off Arroyo Sorrento Road in Carmel Valley since 1978. For the last 24 years she has operated Seabreeze Organic Farms on that pristine land, offering farm-to-home deliv-ery of vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruit and poultry.

About 15 years ago, her water bill was $200 a month. Despite making a 20 percent decrease in water use as urged by the city San Diego, she is now seeing a monthly water bill of $2,500.

“It just cripples our business,” Caughlin said. “We can’t charge $12 for a head of lettuce.”

Caughlin held a discus-sion at her farm on June 23 to get a dialogue going with her neighbors and custom-ers about the upcoming San Diego County Water Au-thority vote on June 28 to raise untreated water rates by 9.7 percent over the 2012 rate. She invited District 1 City Council member Sherri Lightner and Teresa

Penunuri from the San Di-ego County Water Authority to offer some insight.

“We’ve gone through a couple of pretty bad draughts and we San Die-gans have been asked to cut back on water,” Caughlin said. “We’ve done our job and cut back.”

Lightner agreed.“The city of San Diego

came through on conserva-tion. Single family home-owners did a phenomenal job,” Lightner said of achieving a 35 percent re-duction in water usage. “That buys time…but we need to take control. It does affect quality of life and whatever economic develop-ment we have in the future.

munity Planning Board vot-ed to send a letter to Cal-trans asking them to reissue its draft environmental im-pact report (DEIR) on the In-terstate 5/SR-56 interchange project due to a lack of in-formation. The group voted unanimously at its meeting on June 26, taking the same action the neighboring Tor-rey Pines Community Plan-ning Board did earlier in the month.

Torrey Hills Chair Kath-ryn Burton said after look-ing through the thousands of pages in the report, she found it difficult to find spe-cific information.

“It didn’t include any information about the height impacts of this $260 million flyover ramp,” Bur-ton said. “Why are there no maps or drawings that re-

flect the project? In this massive document, they re-ally neglected the elephant in the room.”

Patti Ashton, speaking on behalf of Torrey Pines Planning Board Chair Den-nis Ridz, said their board came to the same conclu-sions, that the report ap-peared to be deceptive with the amount of information not included.

The board decided not to deal with its preferences or concerns with the build alternatives in the DEIR (the direct connector, auxil-iary lane improvements, hybrid and hybrid with fly-over) and instead pointed out inconsistencies in the report. The board encour-aged Caltrans to get the document right so that the community can have mean-

Kilroy Realty Corporation brings first EV charging stations to CVKilroy Realty Corporation (KRC), a

leader in sustainable developments, recently announced Carmel Valley’s first electric ve-hicle (EV) charging stations at the compa-ny’s regional offices at 3611 Valley Centre Drive in Carmel Valley.

The three Blink Network EV charging stations are now available to serve its em-ployees, office building tenants, and the community at large.

Blink chargers, developed by ECOtality Inc., feature large, easy-to-use touch screens and universal electrical charging connectors to accommodate all electrical vehicles. The charging stations can be conveniently locat-ed via mobile application or GPS.

“Carmel Valley shares KRC’s commit-ment to sustainability, and we’re proud to be able to bring this service to the commu-nity,” said Steve Scott, senior vice president, San Diego. “We are currently evaluating all our San Diego properties to see where there is need for EV connectivity and we look for-ward to bringing more online soon.”

Kilroy Realty intends to place addition-al Blink EV charging stations at its Mission City and Liberty Station projects in San Di-ego by year end, as well as its proposed One Paseo mixed-use project in Carmel Valley.

The EPA recently awarded KRC with its “Energy Star Top Performer 2011 award” for outstanding energy efficiency. Approximate-ly 26 percent of KRC’s office portfolio is

LEED certified and 51 percent of its office portfolio is either Energy Star certified or Energy Star eligible.

KRC owns and manages the largest per-centage of LEED-certified commercial space in San Diego and intends to continue that tradition with the proposed One Paseo proj-ect. One Paseo’s planned sustainable design features include walkable streets, green buildings, energy and water efficiency fea-tures and erosion and sediment control measures.

Local resident’s nonprofit helps kids build values, self-esteemBY KAREN BILLING

Local resident Nancie Hochberg is re-launching her nonprofit Deeds From the Heart, an organization that seeks to build values and self-esteem in kids and teens ages 4 through 18. The group is re-launching with re-vamped social action activities, as well as a new teen program called Straight Talk 4 Teens.

The programs, which run Septem-ber through May, are now enrolling.

“A lot of youth organizations say they develop leaders but you can’t de-velop a leader until kids have values,” Hochberg said. “Values come from the heart and that’s what I’m trying to do in fueling the hearts and souls of kids and teens.”

Hochberg first started Deeds From the Heart in 2000.

“I started it because I’m a true be-liever in tolerance, empathy and un-derstanding in kids,” Hochberg said. “When I moved here (from Pennsyl-vania) I saw a lack of ethnic and eco-nomic diversity and I was concerned about bringing them up here.”

The group grew to 100 kids help-ing out 72 different organizations in the county with monthly events.

With Deeds From the Heart’s so-cial action element, children are par-ticipating in hands-on, experiential activities where they learn about the disadvantages of others and perform an act of service or a deed. These so-cial action activities are open to chil-dren as young as 4 and parents also attend the events.

Hochberg said that it’s important to teach children to give back and to expose them to places and people they would not find on their own, from young war veterans to burn vic-tims.

In the past, Deeds From the Heart children met and adopted a child through the Make A Wish Foundation and worked tirelessly to raise $7,000 to grant a wish to go to Disneyland.

While social action is open to children ages 4 to 18, Straight Talk 4 Teens focuses solely on teenagers ages 14 to 18.

“Teens today can make decisions without thinking about how those de-cisions affect their reputations and the consequences they have on their fu-ture,” Hochberg said.

With Straight Talk, the teens will have monthly meetings with a facili-tator who is a second year doctoral

student with a master’s in clini-cal psychology. Hochberg hopes that the monthly meetings offer programming that fosters self-exploration, lead-ing to better deci-sion making.

“Self explora-tion is a process that we can all benefit from and I think teens es-pecially,” Hoch-berg said.

The sessions will begin in Septem-ber on the first Sunday of every month at 3 p.m., and will feature a variety of topics such as the Internet, bullying, marijuana, fitting in, and food issues.

Each discussion will feature peo-ple brought in to speak on the topic. For example, in November’s planned discussion on issues related to teens and sex, there will be a gynecologist and a pregnant teen in attendance to offer perspective.

Hochberg said there will be no lectures or judging, but an opportuni-ty for teens to learn and express them-selves in a supportive environment.

Sign up before Aug. 25 and re-ceive a free t-shirt. To sign up or for more information, visit Deeds-fromtheheart.org.

Torrey Pines High School stu-dent Anita Chen has been named one of only 43 Emerson Scholars and will receive a full scholarship to attend Interlochen Arts Camp, the world’s “premier summer arts pro-gram” for aspiring young musicians. Emerson scholars are selected from among the top applicants to the competitive summer arts program.

Chen, 17, will attend Interlo-chen Arts Camp this summer to study the violin and perform with distinguished youth ensembles. She is the daughter of Li-Han Chen and Shu-Hui Chang. She takes private violin lessons with Mi-chael, Irina and Pasha Tseitlin. Chen has served as the assis-tant concertmaster in the San Diego Youth Symphony and plays in the International Youth Symphony. She plans to double major in music and science in college. Chen looks forward to the musical atmosphere at Interlochen this sum-mer.

“I know there is a lot to be learned from playing in a new setting with such a diverse group of people. I’ve heard a lot about Interlochen and I know that it will be the high-light of my summer,” Chen said.

Sponsored by Emerson of St. Louis, the Emerson Schol-ar Program provides the opportunity for outstanding high school musicians to attend Interlochen Arts Camp, located in northwest Michigan. The Emerson Scholars Award pro-vides full tuition, private lessons, and room and board for the six-week summer program. This is the 23rd year Emer-son has sponsored the scholarship program.

“Every year, Interlochen Arts Camp brings together some of the most talented and motivated students from around the world,” said Interlochen President Jeffrey S. Kimpton. “To be recognized as an Emerson Scholar puts these students in a most elite and prestigious group of tal-ented people. It is quite an honor, not only for the students themselves, but also for the people and places that helped them to become the promising young musicians they are.”

For admissions information, call 231-276-7472, or visit www.interlochen.org or www.emerson.com.

SB community garden under wayBY CLAIRE [email protected]

A 180-square-foot com-munity garden, made possi-ble by a grant from Home De-pot and the group effort of many in Eden Gardens, is be-coming a reality with produce expected as early as this fall.

The garden, situated in the property of St. Leo’s Mis-sion, at the corner of Ida Ave-nue and Genevieve Street, will have eight to 10 plots that are each 4 to 8 feet in size. The garden will also have on-site irrigation and a lockable shed.

While produce from the garden won’t be sold at local markets and stands due to St. Leo’s tax restrictions, the food will be used at the church and made available for per-sonal use through a commu-nity lottery, said Manny Agui-lar of the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation. Aguilar is in the process of finalizing plans with the city, due in part to the fact that the gar-den will extend onto the pub-lic right of way.

Aguilar said the garden is being installed for education-al purposes, with a large focus on Eden Gardens youth. In addition to traditional organ-ic gardening, the community garden will incorporate aqua-ponics with the help of En-cinitas resident Sue Spray. She has made an art of the tech-nique, which involves the fer-

tilization of plants living in a soilless growbed with the waste of fish living in an at-tached tank. The plants and fish live off of each other just like in a natural, balanced ecosystem and, in the end, the system produces both healthy fish and produce to consume.

“It’s a wonderful tool that brings all the compo-nents of science together in an educational manner,” said Spray, a local veterinarian. “It teaches kids how to raise food economically and feasibly with no herbicides or pesti-cides. It’s a wonderful system for kids interested in science, or if they aren’t it may spark an interest.”

Spray is currently moni-toring the garden to be in-stalled in Eden Gardens at her own home. She said it takes a while for an aquaponic sys-tem to become balanced and stable. The community gar-den flat will contain both goldfish and koi, Spray said, in addition to leafy vegetables like kale, lettuce and spinach, as well as tomatoes. She may add tilapia in the future.

Aguilar said the commu-nity has come out in full force with a big interest in volunteering, so volunteers are not needed at this time. For more information, con-tact Aguilar at (619) 672-5872.

This aquaponic garden is in the process of balancing at the home of Sue Spray, who will soon install the flat at a new community garden in Solana Beach. COURTESY PHOTO

The Santa Fe Irrigation District’s board of directors approved its fiscal year 2012-13 budget following a public hearing at the regular board meeting on June 21.

“This balanced budget demonstrates the district’s ongoing commitment to disci-plined financial management and funding of improvements to the water system infra-structure,” said SFID General Manager Mi-chael Bardin. “The district continues to make infrastructure investments, as called for in the District’s Asset Management Mas-ter Plan and in SFID’s 10-year Capital Im-provement Projects Plan.”

For the upcoming year, expenditures are projected to be $29 million. This total includes $7.7 million for water purchases,

$1.3 million for existing debt service pay-ments and $6 million for capital improve-ment projects. The district anticipates that 40 percent of water needs for the coming year will be met with local water from Lake Hodges. Other than water purchase costs and funding for capital improvement proj-ects, the operating budget does not increase.

“The district is taking a measured and prudent approach by prioritizing capital im-provement projects that reduce the risk of more costly future repairs, and improve the efficiency of our operations.” Bardin said.

To view the adopted budget, visit the District’s website at www.sfidwater.org.

“evaluate all the bids that come in from the stand-point of what’s best for the city in terms of economi-cally, (and) the way it would fit into the commu-nity. We are looking to

have a tenant in there that uses that facility in some way related to recreation.”

How the property is used is also a concern for the San Dieguito River Park JPA officials and Friends of the San Dieguito River Val-

ley, an environmental group.

Susan Carter, the JPA’s deputy director, said Mon-day they haven’t heard anything more on where the city is on seeking new bids, noting that they check in regularly for up-dates.

“We want to make sure that the uses the city envi-sions are what is in the (re-quest for proposals) and makes it clear what the constraints (on the proper-ty) are,” she added.

The club launched the 2012 season with an open house on June 2 and on June 24 hosted the Sene-table Cup Finals, an event that supports Prince Har-ry’s and Prince William’s charity to support orphans

and children in Lesotho. On July 1, the club will host the Pan-American Cup Finals; the season wraps up on Sept. 30.

“We hope we’ll be here another 25 years,” Bo-naguidi said, noting that members are currently making the rounds of local community groups to keep them informed about where they stand with re-gards to their future plans.

They’re also taking a break in their schedule the weekends of July 28-30 and Aug. 4-6 so the Surf Cup tournament can have full access to the fields.

“Kids come from all over for this event,” Bona-guidi said. “They have a great time.”

If we can’t provide water, we’ll be in a bad way. We need to keep the drumbeat going that we need improve-ments in our water system.”

Lightner has been an active participant in helping to create a new “Compre-hensive Policy for Sustain-able Water Supply” in San Diego.

Lightner said she be-lieves that the city needs to establish guiding principles to ensure that the water sup-ply remains both secure and affordable, develop a local

sustainable supply and reach milestones for conservation.

The city’s guiding prin-ciples for water don’t in-clude language about cur-rent challenges, such as cli-mate change or water re-strictions from the Sacra-mento-San Joaquin River Delta. The guidelines also don’t include the use of new technologies or the use of public-private partnerships.

Lightner’s policy high-lights a development of a di-verse local supply, including conservation, desalination, greywater and rainwater col-lection, and wastewater re-cycling. It also stresses col-laboration between local and regional businesses,

agencies, and other partners to secure water reliability and rate structures that en-courage conservation and discourage waste.

Penunuri talked about how the water authority is in the process of negotiation with a private desalination plant in Carlsbad. The water authority would be able to purchase water from the plant and deliver it to the region to help reduce costs. The plan is currently under public review.

They are also looking at the potential of building their own desalination plant at Camp Pendleton, twice the size of the Carlsbad plant, that would be com-plete by 2018 or 2019.

Three main factors are driving the water authority’s

rate increases: first, the rate increases from the Metro-politan Water District of Southern California, the re-gion’s largest imported wa-ter supplier. In April they approved an average 5 per-cent rate increase for 2013 and for the water authority resulted in an actual 8.5 percent increase in MWD-related costs.

MWD also continues to charge the water authority for transporting its indepen-dent Colorado River water to the San Diego region.

The rates are also driv-en upward by planned debt service costs on the water authority’s $3.5 billion costs to improve its infrastructure of dams, pipelines, a treat-ment plant and other proj-ects. These costs will in-

crease by $21 million in 2013.

Lastly, the rates will also reflect the water authority receiving more water from the Imperial Irrigation Dis-trict, considered more reli-able than MWD and less susceptible to cutbacks due to shortages.

To help mitigate the im-pact of these proposed in-creased costs, the water au-thority is proposing a one-year reduction in its senior lien debt service coverage ra-tio. Without this, the neces-sary rate increase would be 17.5 percent. The authority has also made workforce re-ductions, deferred construc-tion projects and made oth-er cuts to control their costs.

Lightner said people can get involved in the wa-

ter authority’s current suit against MWD for overcharg-ing San Diego in its 2011 and 2012 rates.

“Our region pays for more of the increases for im-provements to the system and other jurisdictions don’t pay increases,” Lightner said.

San Diego ratepayers will be overcharged by $40 mil-lion in 2012, growing close to $57 million in 2013 and up to $217 million annually by 2021.

The case is currently be-ing heard in San Francisco Su-perior Court. More informa-tion on the rate challenge is available at sdcwa.org/mw-drate-challenge.

BY JOE TASHOrdinarily, a much larger fi-

nancial investment firm would have been sitting at a table with representatives of the Canadian government, hammering out an agreement to facilitate an $8 bil-lion ship-building contract.

But there was Carmel Valley resident Todd Wilson, along with his partners in a small, San Diego-based company, holed up in a ho-tel conference room in Ottawa just a few days before Christmas.

“Nobody’s going home for Christmas until this deal’s done,” Wilson said in a recent interview, regarding his mindset at the nego-tiations in December 2011. Wil-son and the other negotiators can-celled their homebound flights several times in an effort to push through to the deal’s conclusion. “It was a long and hard, complex negotiation. When you got it done, you felt satisfied.”

Wilson and two colleagues, Kurt Wickham of Carmel Valley and Joel Weinstein of Solana Beach, founded W Partners, their investment advisory firm, in 2009. The company, which was based in Carmel Valley until recently, when it moved to La Jolla, offers invest-ment banking services to compa-nies in such areas as mergers and

acquisitions, raising capital, and other types of transactions.

The deal in Canada, conclud-ed last fall and winter, was by far the firm’s largest, Wilson said. Through a previous business rela-tionship with Montana billionaire Dennis Washington, W Partners served as financial adviser to one of Washington’s companies, Seas-pan Marine Corp., as it negotiated a deal with the Canadian govern-ment to build seven non-combat ships, including a polar ice-breaker.

After helping Seaspan win the ship-building bid, Wilson said, W Partners helped negotiate an “um-

brella agreement,” which serves as a framework for future ship-build-ing contracts. W Partners is also assisting Seaspan in raising capital for upgrades to its shipyards in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, in preparation for the ship construction, which is expect-ed to begin next year.

The three partners, who each have young families — Wilson and Wickham each have four children, and Weinstein has two — hope to leverage their experience in the Seaspan deal to assist U.S. compa-nies in similar ventures, Wilson said.

All three worked together at RA Capital Advisors in San Diego before setting up their own invest-ment firm. Between the three, they have experience working with financial firms in New York, Lon-don and San Francisco as well.

“What we offer middle-market companies is unique in San Diego: Locally based M&A (merger and acquisition) expertise from a team that draws upon more than 30 years of investment banking expe-rience including public and private companies of all sizes across a vari-ety of industries,” Wickham said.

“Warren Buffett is famous for saying that he tap dances to work each day because it is so much fun. I feel the same way, we really form deep relationships with our clients to help them execute critical M&A and financing transactions, and al-though it’s challenging to provide thoughtful advice, it is very re-warding,” said Weinstein.

According to Wilson, W Part-ners works with business owners who want to sell their company or raise capital to acquire another company. Among the tasks they might handle are assisting in deter-mining a company’s value, identi-fying potential buyers and negoti-ating a deal.

Part of that process is learning

about the specific business. “We want to understand the business as well as the business owner,” Wil-son said.

Ordinarily, the partners target transactions in the range of $20 million to $200 million, but the Canadian deal turned out to be much larger.

As W Partners seeks to build on its early successes (they’ve com-pleted five transactions to date), Wilson said he is seeing improve-ment in the business climate.

“There’s a definite sense of ac-tivity picking up,” he said. “We feel optimistic because there’s a lot of pent-up demand for quality businesses.”

When the partners are not re-searching or advising on business deals, Wilson said, they might be found coaching Little League base-ball or soccer, or serving on a non-profit board.

“We’re Wall Street guys but we’re in San Diego for a reason,” said Wilson, a surfer who travels to Fiji annually in search of waves. “We don’t want to be living in a concrete jungle in New York.”

New executive director joins DM FoundationAfter a 10-month search, the Del Mar

Foundation has hired Karen Wilson as its new executive director.

“The Del Mar Foundation is at an excit-ing place in its 30-year history,” said Founda-tion President Carolyn Kling, “and we searched with great care to find the right candidate to help take us forward. Our goals are to further build the endowment and sig-nificantly increase grant funding in the com-munity. The executive director position is a leading key resource for the foundation as we continue to explore and identify opportuni-ties to fulfill our mission.”

A Del Mar resident since 2005, Wilson has a unique combination of for profit and nonprofit business experience. She most re-cently worked as a senior account executive for the Center for Creative Leadership, an in-ternational, nonprofit education and re-search institute committed to advancing the understanding, practice and development of leadership globally. Prior to this she ran her own business, a national award-winning ser-vice dedicated to the moving needs of elderly people. This business, located in Germany, enabled her to live out her belief that you can be profitable and serve your community.

Prior to running her own business, Wil-son managed the international press rela-tions for the City of Berlin’s 2000 Olympic bid, major benchmark conferences for an in-ternational management consultancy, and corporate sponsorships of world sports and cultural events.

Wilson has a bachelor’s degree in Eng-lish literature from the University of Califor-nia at Los Angeles (UCLA) and a master’s de-gree in leadership studies with a specializa-

tion in nonprofit management from the University Of San Diego (USD). She is a member of Del Mar Toastmas-ters, the World Trade Center, the German-American Chamber of Com-merce, and the In-stitute of Manage-ment Consultants. She speaks German fluently. Her extensive travels have opened her mind and heart to diverse cultures with a particular fondness for their cuisines.

Of all the places lived and visited, Wil-son appreciates the beauty and character of Del Mar the most.

“This is my town of choice – as much for the wonderful people as for the beautiful en-vironment. I feel fortunate to be part of this vibrant community and look forward to working closely with volunteers and donors on behalf of Del Mar,” Wilson said.

Wilson can be reached through the Del Mar Foundation at [email protected] or (858) 635-1363.

The Del Mar Foundation is the commu-nity’s oldest nonprofit. It promotes civic pride and cohesiveness, acquires and pre-serves open space, improves Del Mar beaches and parklands, raises and grants funds, and sponsors diverse cultural programs and com-munity events for the benefit of its residents and visitors.

Celebrate July 4 at Del Mar Foundation paradeCome join the fun at an

Independence Day parade on Wednesday, July 4, at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar. The Del Mar Foundation in-vites the families of Del Mar to decorate their bikes, scooters, wagons, baby strollers and leashed pets for a parade beginning at 9 a.m. The Mayor and City Council members will lead the parade, an annual tradition that is once again being sponsored by the Del Mar Foundation.

Start planning now to march in the pa-rade. Bike entries have come with stream-ers, lots of flags and red, white and blue decorations. There are colorful wagons and baby strollers. Marchers come with leashed dogs dressed in patriotic colors. So wear red, white and blue and enter the contest for best costume/decoration.

This year the marchers will step to live music provided by “Hullabaloo,” who will perform a short concert after the parade. If you don’t get the opportunity to prepare to march, come on down to the Powerhouse at 9 a.m. to watch the parade and enjoy the music. Following the parade, City of Del Mar Officials will pass out awards to some of the best participants in various age cate-gories. When the judging is done children are invited to enjoy free snacks and fresh lemonade and to tour a real Del Mar Fire Engine and get a fire hat!

The event is free of charge. Adult super-vision is required for all children. www.del-marfoundation.org

A future of hope? Choice must be made in author’s new novel set in 2050BY KATHY DAY

Even though David Brin identifies himself as a sci-ence fiction writer, he de-clares the genre has been misnamed.

It should be called “speculative history,” the lo-cal author and futurist said before a book signing for his newest work, “Existence,” last week at Mysterious Gal-axy Books in Kearny Mesa. “These are stories about the effects of change on individ-uals, peoples and genera-tions.”

He circles around a lot of topics in his interviews, from the state of science ed-ucation — we’re not as bad off as everyone thinks, he posits — to what “artsy types” think of science fic-tion — they “despise it.”

Be certain, though, that his interest in science fiction began with a love of history and he’s quite willing to talk about either or both.

While he says only 10 percent of science fiction writers are scientists — and he’s one — all science fic-tion writers devour history.

As a man who holds an undergraduate degree in as-trophysics from Cal Tech, a master’s in electrical engi-

neering and a Ph.D. in space physics from UCSD, he brings a unique understand-ing of science and technolo-gy to his craft. Adding ad-venture and imagination, he has written more than a dozen novels of his own, collaborated with other au-thors on more, and pub-lished graphic novels, young adult novels and nonfiction as well as short fiction. One book, “The Postman” was made into a film starring Kevin Costner in 1997.

Writing was his “pas-

sionate hobby,” he said, not-ing that he figured he would publish a novel every five or six years while teaching and doing research. But, he add-ed, “civilization had other plans for me ... I had success at storytelling and that be-came the tail that wagged the dog.”

A third generation writ-er, Brin has won awards from Hugo International Science Fiction, the Ameri-can Library Association and Nebula. (His daughter seems to be continuing the family tradition as she is now a journalism major at NYU who has designs on follow-ing in his footsteps. Brin and his wife, Cheryl, who he followed to Paris when she was doing her post-doctoral degree, also have a son at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and one at San Dieguito Academy who is working on his Eagle Scout project.)

More recently, with UC-SD’s Sheldon Brown, Brin helped formulate the pro-posal for the newly launched Arthur C. Clarke Center for the Human Imag-ination and will be involved as the new center at UCSD moves forward. While his role hasn’t been determined,

‘Existence’

Author David Brin

he joked that he will be “a grand old fart adviser.”

Brown was UCSD’s di-rector of the Center for Re-search in Computing and the Arts until he was named to head the Clarke Center which aims “to develop, cat-alyze, and be a global re-source for research, teach-ing, and value-added initia-tives inspired by the singu-larly imaginative, multi-dis-ciplinary legacy of Sir Arthur Clarke.”

Using all of the resourc-es of the university — and with the support of all of its deans — the focus will be on collaborations around the world in technology, educa-tion, engineering, health, science, industry, environ-ment, entertainment and the arts.

Brin, who blogs regular-ly, calls himself the go-to guy on extraterrestrial life

and says he’s “best known as a ‘futurist’” who comments plausibly and entertainingly about trends in technology and society. He’s been fea-tured at TEDxDelMar, ad-dressing the question “Is Outer Space Still Part of the Dream,” has spoken to NASA scientists and, on July 14, he’ll be part of a panel at Comic-Con on “Traveling the Spacetime Continuum” and signing his recent work, “Existence.”

His first new novel in nine years, “Existence” is set in 2050. His website, which includes an illustrated trailer to the work with stunning art by Patrick Farley, teases readers: “Billions of planets may be ripe for life, even in-telligence. So where is Every-body? Do civilizations make the same fatal mistakes over and over? Might we be the first to cross the minefield,

evading every trap to learn the secret of Existence?”

He calls himself a hope-ful person. “Only by study-ing history can you over-come cynicism and realize how amazing this trip has been,” he said. “Think about it. Our ancestors struggled hard. The best of them dreamed we’d be better off than they were. … At this rate our grandchildren may be amazing but we’ve some-how got to get across the danger zone of the next 20 years.”

That’s part of the mes-sage he’s trying to convey in “Existence” and why he picked the time frame for the novel.

In it, he said, “the pros-pects are neither all gloomy nor all sunny.”

Adding, “We’ve been very smart between now and 2050 at keeping disas-ters barely contained … then something new arrives that forces us to finally make up our minds about whether to deliberately choose a future of hope.”

With his wife on hand at last week’s book signing, the audience of more than 50 fans who seemed more like friends than fans was ready to hear some details as Brin basked in their atten-tion.

“It’s nice to be back,” he said.

After a full 13 years of life, “Happy Jack” Kennedy, passed away peacefully on June 13, at the end of a good day, surrounded by loved ones at his home in Del Mar.

He was a regular at the Winston School Park, the unofficial greeter at Infu-sions of Tea in La Jolla, and the St. Patrick’s Day dog for the 2012 Dogs of Del Mar Calendar published by the Del Mar Foundation. Jack was a loyal friend, an upbeat companion and a good-na-tured all-around great dog. Jack is survived by his own-er, Jim Kennedy, in whose heart he will remain forever.

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

BY JEANNE MCKINNEYThere’s no crew to light

the scene, no quiet on the set, no director yelling cut while shooting this film. Night vision goggles might be the only light source, the noise can be nerve-shatter-ing and there’s no time for retakes. Embedded with ground troops and armed with a digital camera, is a sailor clicking away and re-cording the ongoing fight for freedom. At the end of a long and often grueling as-signment, she’s captured crucial information she must guard with her life.

Mass Communications Specialist 1st Class Cassan-dra Thompson said, “The Navy has just as vibrant a Combat Camera division as other branches of the Armed Forces. People think they’re the ones on the ground doing all the ‘cool guy’ stuff and the Navy stays on a ship. I’ve been in the Navy 10 years and on a ship two months.”

Out on patrol, MC1 Thompson is frightened, but not by what’s going on around her. “My greatest

concern is to do my job well because there’s a com-mander sitting in his office waiting on my footage to try and figure out what his next decision’s going to be.” She flashes a catchy smile, “Plus, I’ve got SEALS on my team.”

She tells her-self, “I have to get these photos because they’re go-ing to be really upset if I come back empty-handed.” She knows the success of current or future missions could depend on her imag-ery. COMCAM1 is recog-nized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) as an essential battlefield information re-source that supports strate-gic, operational and tactical mission objectives, accord-ing to the Fleet Combat Camera Group Pacific mis-sion statement.

Thompson came to America from Trinidad to go to college, earning a bachelor’s degree in jour-nalism. She was halfway through grad school, study-ing mass communications at the University of Florida, when she joined the Navy. “Although I had a job at

the Florida Park Service which I loved, I couldn’t see myself going very far in that position. I had all

these dreams to travel the

world and be a writer for Time magazine and all this

other stuff.”The Navy

sent her to Bah-rain in 2005, where she did a stint at Naval Central Command (NAVCENT) 5th Fleet Public Affairs. Her job was news writing (her strength) about anything going on in the Middle East.

“Public Affairs pride themselves on getting news to the world fast and accu-rately. We’re instructed to have the story out within an hour of the event break-ing, even if it’s sensitive or tragic.” If all they know is there’s a fire on an oil plat-form, they have to report that while they continue to gather the facts.

Thompson heard about Combat Camera in Bahrain and didn’t know anything about it when she joined. “I don’t believe any telephone conversation can adequate-ly prepare you for what a

Combat Camera assignment will entail.” She would soon find out. “When you go in the field, if you don’t know what your job is, someone will quickly educate you.”

Nobody gets into Com-bat Camera without passing Search, Survival, Evasion, and Resistance (SERE) school. Thompson explains, “Military personnel learn how to survive under aus-tere conditions, avoid cap-ture and, if all else fails, re-turn with honor from a POW situation. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, captured in 2009 by the Taliban in Af-ghanistan, is reportedly America’s last living POW. He’s a constant reminder that SERE training may have real-life application.”

Before each deploy-ment they complete a Basic Operations firearms train-ing course. “It’s a lot of weapons,” says Thompson, who’d never touched small arms before. They must also know how to operate the camera equipment and put together a video or contact sheet. When out on patrol, you’re expected to bring back a minimum of five photos a day.

“There’s going to be ev-

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

On June 18, the Del Mar City Council received the Village Specific Plan (VSP) and listened to the staff’s report. That report was woefully incomplete. Did you know that the pro-posed VSP intends to coerce private property owners to surrender their land for public use?

We all understand that parking can be a challenge in Del Mar, but this propos-al is an affront to rights we hold dear as Americans.

Back in 1967, the City required restaurants to pro-vide one parking space per 90 square feet of inside res-taurant space. There were only three restaurants then. Today, according to the Del Mar Village Association

website, there are 26. The City doesn’t require any of them to comply with the City’s very difficult parking ordinance except for one: my property at 1201 Cami-no del Mar.

For many years the City has singled out 1201 Camino del Mar for en-forcement of parking stan-dards while failing to en-force these parking stan-dards against any other property. My commercial property is by far the best-parked building in town. The City refuses to allow me to lease 25 percent of my building, however, be-cause the City wants to convert my private parking into a public parking lot. That’s what the VSP’s pro-

posed parking element is all about.

Three years ago the City published a study, which singled out 1201 Camino del Mar with the statement:

“It appears that the ex-isting underground parking could possibly be integrated into any future under-ground parking schemes lo-cated to the north of the site, creating a “shared use” parking scenario for the en-tire block.”

Basically, the City is saying that 1201 Camino del Mar has enough parking for the whole town, but not enough for its own lease space.

Why should this mat-ter to you? It should matter

because if the City will sin-gle out me and my proper-ty, they can single out any resident or property owner in Del Mar. This is a serious over-reach of the govern-ment.

Del Mar must establish reasonable parking stan-dards without requiring commercial property own-ers to convert their private parking into the public parking lots.

This “give us your park-ing” strategy will never re-develop Del Mar. If the VSP parking proposal goes through, it will be impossi-ble for a developer to obtain a construction loan on a property because it will be gutted of its property rights and left with the obligation

to pay the property taxes, maintenance and insurance on a public parking garage.

The VSP is just a not-so-veiled attempt to convert 80 percent of my property into a public parking ga-rage. The answer is “NO!” I will not donate $2 million of my property’s value to the City in return for the right to collect rent.

It is wrong to have a parking ordinance that does not apply to everyone equal-ly. I ask the City to establish reasonable parking stan-dards and enforce their park-ing ordinance in a uniform manner. If the City of Del Mar can take my property, they can take yours, too.

George Conkwright1201 Camino del Mar

Will your property rights be stolen next?

BY LYNNE FRIED MANN

Psoriasis is an autoim-mune disorder of out-of-con-trol skin cell proliferation. For hard-to-heal wounds, the problem is just the op-posite: Restorative skin cells don’t grow well or fast enough. An inter-national team of scientists, led by the UC San Diego School of Medi-cine, report on a molecule that may lead to new treatments for both conditions.

Researchers analyzed skin biop-sies of patients with and without psoriasis, as well as the skin of mice with psoriasis and with wounds. They discovered that the molecule regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha (REG3A) is highly expressed in skin cells during psoriasis and wound-healing, but not under nor-

mal skin conditions.In tests on mice, researchers

found that inhibiting REG3A slowed wound-healing but cleared up psoriasis. Thus, a drug that in-hibits the expression of REG3A could represent a targeted way to treat psoriasis without the systemic immunosuppression problems of current treatments. Conversely, a drug that stimulates or mimics RE-G3A could boost cell growth and improve wound healing.

The findings appear in the journal Immunity. News release at http://bit.ly/KX81Nh.

Reversing Huntington’s dis-ease symptoms

A drug treatment has been shown to silence the mutated gene responsible for Huntington’s dis-ease, slowing and partially reversing progression of the fatal neurodegen-erative disorder in animal models.

Huntington’s disease afflicts ap-proximately 30,000 Americans, whose symptoms include uncon-trolled movements and progressive cognitive and psychiatric problems. The cause is a single-gene mutation which results in the production and

accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain. Currently, there is no ef-fective treatment.

Researchers at the Ludwig Insti-tute for Cancer Research (UCSD School of Medicine) infused mouse and primate models of Hunting-ton’s disease with one-time injec-tions of a DNA drug that selectively binds to and destroys the mutant gene’s molecular instructions for making the toxic protein. A singu-lar treatment produced rapid results: Animals moving better within one month and achieving normal motor function within two. The benefits also persisted nine months, well af-ter the drug had cleared from an an-imal’s system and production of the toxic proteins resumed.

The findings appear in the journal Neuron. News release at http://bit.ly/MmdXzv.

Nanocubes for next genera-tion antennas, lenses

Researchers at the UC San Di-ego Jacobs School of Engineering have developed a technique that enables metallic nanocrystals to spontaneously self-assemble and or-ganize into complex materials for

next-generation antennas and lens-es.

The research comes from the new field of nanoplasmonics; the goal of which is to develop materi-als to manipulate light using struc-tures smaller than the wavelength of light itself. Nanocubes used in this study were less than 0.1 mi-crons; by comparison, the breadth of a human hair is 100 microns.

Normally when cubes stack, they pack side-by-side. A new meth-od was developed to graft polymer chains to the cube surfaces. Shorter polymer chains caused cubes to stack normally, while placing long polymer chains produced edge-to-edge stacking. This ability to create macroscopic films of nanocubes with two different orientations al-lowed for the reflection and trans-mission of different wavelengths of light.

The findings appear in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. News release at http://bit.ly/LWMLJC.

ingful input.The comment period

for the DEIR ends on July 17 and Caltrans expects to make its decision on the preferred alternative by the end of 2012. The final EIR would be released in late 2013 with project construc-tion targeted for 2020-2030 if any build option is select-ed.

As the board’s letter aimed to point out deficien-cies the DEIR, some board

members wondered if the One Paseo development was included in the traffic stud-ies. It was determined One Paseo does not have to be-cause it is an unapproved project at this time. Board member Guy Ravad mar-veled that two enormous projects could be developed at the same time, without consideration of the other, and possibly receive approv-al simultaneously.

ery branch of the military on the ground in one For-ward Operating Base (FOB) with one mission spelled out in detail,” Thompson said. “Maybe in this area they need more reconnais-sance or that area more community action, or intel-ligence over there because something’s going on and they want to expand their knowledge.”

The imagery of a COM-CAM professional not only serves the mission, but can offer unforgettable emo-tional impact. MC1 Thomp-son remembers when the Navy teamed up with Medi-cal Civilian Action Program (MEDCAP) in the Philip-pines.

“I had no idea cleft palate could be so preva-lent. Little children were lined up out the door wait-ing to see the volunteer sur-geons of ‘Operation Smile.’ In these rural areas, if you have that deformity you’ll be locked away and no one will ever see you. It’s really cool these kids get a second chance at life.”

From heart-wrenching to heart-pounding, Cassan-dra can’t really predict what will end up in her viewfind-

er. A rare photo she snapped while document-ing counter-piracy won her a “2010 Military Photogra-pher of the Year” award. So-mali pirates had taken over the seas and were holding ships hostage — and killing people. A group of nations came together as a com-bined task force to patrol the oceans.

The original plan was to apprehend them and send them to a chosen Afri-can country to be held at trial, but money to feed, clothe and shelter all these pirates became everyone’s problem. “In the end,” re-ports Thompson, “we [left] them out in the middle of the ocean with just enough gas to get back to Somalia and we [blew] up the Moth-er ship that had the rest of the barrels of oil.”

MC1 Thompson knows why people who leave Combat Camera fight tooth and nail to get back, be-cause nothing else feels right after that. “I have no idea what other job I could do that would be as amaz-ing as this one. I’m happy people will know what our part was in America’s histo-ry in the war and for being able to see the way world events took place.”

Del Mar – Solana Beach Rotary recaps year in celebration of serviceOn June 22, the Del Mar-Solana

Beach Sunrise Rotary reviewed all its accomplishments throughout the year under the Presidency of Kirk Collins. Some of the highlights included:

•In Community Service, the club supplied water to more than 1,000 vets during Stand Down, helped the CRC with their holiday baskets program and plant sale, provided clothing for needy women as part of Dress for Success, helped two foster youth move into their first apartments in conjunction with Just in Time, and provided a bar-beque and social for youth with San Diego Youth Services.

•Under International Service, grants were given to India for toilet blocks for 60 schools, vocational train-ing was conducted through Mothers of Peace in Uganda, a farm school and chicken farm was supported in El Sal-vador (which the club visited), portable water was provided in Ecuador, and desks supplied to school children in Malawi.

•Youth programs included sup-porting the Canyon Crest Interact club with their community projects, leading Model UN with two teams, sending youth to LEAD and RYLA leadership camps, and granting two scholarships to Canyon Crest Academy seniors who are headed to college.

•One-hundred percent of the club’s 36 members contributed to the

Rotary Foundation again this year with an average of $370 per person. Seven members became 1st time Paul Harris fellows by contributing $1,000 to the Foundation, and eight others moved to another level with an additional $1,000 commitment. These funds are used to match grants for future projects to help others locally and internation-ally.

•The club celebrated its most suc-cessful year yet for it’s 16th Annual Bocce tournament, which raised over $60,000 for charitable giving and over $550,000 since the tournament was started. The first Harlem Ambassador Tournament was also a success, raising over $18,000 to help Canyon Crest

Academy and the Boys and Girls Club. •One of the highlights of the

meeting was presenting Ellen Yaffa from Social Advocates for Youth (SAY) with a check for $3,000 in support of providing a counselor to help military families.

The Del Mar – Solana Beach Rota-ry Club is a service organization of business, professional, and volunteer leaders who belong to the 1.2 million-member Rotary International. The club meets at the Doubletree Hotel in Car-mel Valley on Friday mornings from 7:15-8:30 a.m. For more information about the DMSB Rotary, please contact President Richard Fogg at 858-945-8718.

This Sunday, July 1, will be the second of five con-certs in the Summer Sere-nades concerts series hosted by the Carmel Valley Recre-ation Council. After an in-credible kickoff with Atomic Groove last Sunday, this concert features the band Left4Dead, a seven-member rock band that plays “crowd pleasing, generation span-ning danceable rock and roll.” The concert will be at Solana Highlands Neighbor-hood Park (3520 Longrun Drive, San Diego, 92130) and goes from 5-7 p.m.

San Diego crowds have been entertained by the mu-sic of Left4Dead since 1999. The band plays a variety of music, from Elvis to The Stones to The Doors to Van Morrison, sprinkled with contemporary songs from The Red Hot Chili Peppers

to The Black keys. They have played with the likes of Chris Isaac, Tommy Castro, John Hiatt, and Jason Mraz. Their music is classy and fun with a well-blended sound, great vocalists and a reper-toire that is classic but not clichéd.

The band members are all serious professional musi-cians, but they hold down real-life “day jobs” in a vari-ety of interesting fields, in-cluding law, real estate in-vestment, broadcasting, edu-cation and food distribu-tion. They come together to play their music and create a high energy event that will have everyone dancing and having a great time.

The band’s “tongue in cheek” name derives from the famous Rolling Stones song, “Jumping Jack Flash” and its famous lyric line: “I was drowned, washed up and left for dead.” Since the band is anything but, when

it comes to adding life, music and fun to your event, count on Left4Dead.

The Summer Serenades Concert Series is sponsored in part by Pardee Homes, Cymer and Kilroy Realty Corpora-tion. The concerts are free to the public and you are encour-aged you to bring your family and friends and enjoy an eve-ning of music and dancing. Blankets, beach chairs, food and drinks are all part of the ambience that make these Sunday afternoon concerts fun for everyone! If you have any ques-tions or need more information, call the Carmel Valley Rec Center at 858-552-1616 or visit www.cvsd.com and look un-der Entertainment/Summer Park Concerts.

e

BY JOE TASHAfter 20 years of writing screenplays for

movies and television shows, Deborah Serra decided she wanted more creative control over her work.

Serra’s career decision resulted in the publication of her first novel, “Primal,” in May.

Switching from scripts to books wasn’t the only major departure for Serra, a local res-ident — challenged by the prevailing senti-ment in Hollywood that women writers were best suited for comedies, romances or chil-dren’s stories, she determined that her first book would be a crime thriller.

“Primal,” which is available as an e-book for both Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and No-ble’s Nook readers, is about a band of brothers who go on a murderous rampage at a resort in the woods of Minnesota. The main character is a woman — motivated by the need to pro-tect her family — who confronts them.

Serra, a mother of three herself, first penned “Primal” as a screenplay and sold the film rights to James Cameron, director of such films as “Titanic,” “Avatar,” and “Termi-nator.” When Cameron decided to focus solely on scripts that he wrote himself, Serra was able to get permission to turn her script into a novel.

During her career as a screenwriter, she said, she had worked with many different producers, directors and actors, and had often received suggestions for changes to her scripts, even from hairdressers and makeup artists.

“It’s a collaborative art,” the award-win-ning writer said of screenwriting. “I wanted the freedom to do whatever I wanted.”

Along with “Primal,” she is working on two other books — a humorous travelogue about trips she has taken with her sister, and a literary novel that ties into her passion for science. The book explores such themes as consciousness and free will, she said.

“It’s been quite liberating for me,” she said of her recent writing projects.

“Primal” gave Serra a chance to delve into the minds of her characters, including the murderous brothers. In seeking to sell the original screenplay, she bumped up against stereotypes held by producers, that women couldn’t write in the genres of crime and thrillers.

Serra recalled sitting in the office of one producer who asked her point-blank, “Did you write this?” When she replied in the af-firmative, he asked, “By yourself?”

The book chronicles the main character’s inner journey after she returns home from her encounter with the killers. The experience changes her to the extent that people around her think she’s going insane, and she loses her

job, family and friends, Serra said.The script was sent out under the name

of D.A. Serra, so as not to give away the au-thor’s gender.

“They wouldn’t have read it if it said ‘Deborah’ on the front,” she said.

As Serra becomes comfortable with writ-ing novels instead of screenplays, she is also learning the ropes of a publishing business in which e-books and online media play an ev-er-larger role.

“It’s like the Wild West out there,” she said.

In September, she’ll embark on a “blog tour,” doing interviews with writers and re-viewers for genre-specific websites, as well as sites geared for general audiences.

Among book-related sites she’s targeting are Bookslut.com, Bookgasm.com and Bea-trice.com.

By appearing in such online publica-tions, she said, she can build momentum for her book, and hopefully fuel sales.

One of the things she enjoys about writ-ing books is that she can depart from the strictures of screenwriting, in which the ac-tion is driven almost completely by dialogue, to include narration, metaphor and other lit-erary techniques, Serra said. But her roots as a screenwriter keep her focused on the devel-opment of character as a primary source of inspiration.

“If you can create a character who’s whole, a real whole person, and put them into a scene, you don’t have to write dia-logue, it writes itself,” she said.

In the 1950s, Katie Sanford struggled to find her place in the world amid the conventional ex-pectations of being a wife and mother. Fueled in part by psycho-logical wounds left from the loss of her mother at age 7, she felt as though she was near death and, as a last resort, sought the expertise of renowned Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.

Now 95 and one of the earliest residents of Del Mar, Sanford is one of the last living people to have met and shared time with Jung, who has amassed a large fol-lowing over the years for his theo-ries and founding of analytical psychology. Sanford said she was invited by Jung to Switzerland be-cause he thought her case might help him in his own studies, par-ticularly those regarding his cre-ation of the concept of archetypes — symbols or patterns that can shed light on personality.

“The level of material I was working with, the level I was oper-ating on, was an archetypal level,” said Sanford, who recalls her brav-ery in traveling alone from Del Mar to Switzerland, via both air-plane and the Queen Mary ocean liner. “He was curious and interest-

ed because it would relate to his work.”

Lynette Walker, Sanford’s daughter, was 14 when her mother left for several months to seek out Jung, who has recently emerged in popular culture as the subject of the 2011 movie “A Dangerous Method.”

“He wanted to make sense of her search for the meaning of life, which was so different than what women of her time were experi-

encing,” Walker said during a re-cent interview at Sanford’s Del Mar home. “In a way, he recognized that she was channeling some-thing on a different level than the way most people were operating and it was powerful.”

Sanford said she and Jung shared the same psychological be-liefs that “aside from our daily conditioning, the inevitable issues we pick up from our parents and education, one can make available

the information that exists in their dreams and fantasies.”

“To make sense of that infor-mation and incorporate it into your life, that’s what let’s you know who you can be as a whole person,” Sanford said. “You can take away everything that’s expect-ed of you and be your authentic self.”

Both Sanford and her hus-band, the late Dr. Sandy Sanford, became trained Jungian analysts decades ago, and they were found-ing members of the San Diego Friends of Jung. The Sanfords be-gan holding weekly discussion meetings at their home more than 35 years ago, and Sanford still keeps the meetings going today, having brought together dozens of like minds over the years. The San Diego Friends of Jung has also be-gun holding lectures at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, located at 334 14th St. in Del Mar.

A notable teaching of Jung is that art can be used to alleviate consuming feelings and repair, re-store and heal patients. More spe-cifically, he wrote in his manu-scripts that art expressions and im-ages found in dreams can be help-ful in recovering from emotional distress.

Sanford also saw art as more

than just recreational. Over the course of about 30 years, begin-ning in the 1950s, Sanford created more than 60 large-scale paintings, which she tucked away in a shed until Walker, her daughter, had them published 10 years ago. The resulting book, which has full-col-or photos of the paintings and cor-responding written commentaries on each, came to be called “The Serpent and the Cross.”

Along with the paintings, nu-merous lectures given by Sanford over the years have been made into an archive that can be ac-cessed in The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (www.aras.org), located in San Francisco.

“They felt her work is repre-sentative of the modern myth of where we are in the evolutionary process in relation to opening the feminine archetype,” Walker said. “This is not the same thing as fem-inism; it’s a natural paradigm shift, a feminine Renaissance.”

For more information about the San Diego Friends of Jung group, and their lectures in Del Mar, visit www.jungsandiego.com. There will be a new lecture series beginning this summer. For more information on Sanford and her book, visit www.serpentandcross.com.

Britt was recently accepted into Balboa Park’s Spanish Village Art Center, San Di-ego’s largest collection of studio artists. Starting in July, Britt will share her unique pieces of art in the medium of paper tapestry, using strips of paper to cre-ate impressive nature scenes.

Britt has been an artist all of her life, thanks to her artist mother who had her doing art projects from a very young age. Her creative spirit went wild with proj-ects in sewing, painting, drawing, needlepoint and photography.

“I had lots of encour-agement and I think that’s one of the most important things for artists, to be en-couraged to be creative, take risks, give it a whirl, throw it up and see what comes out of it,” Britt said.

Britt went on to get her degree in architecture and practiced for six years before moving on to Peace Corps work, community develop-ment work, and then stay-ing home with her children.

“(Being a mom) is one of the most creative endeav-ors I’ve ever done,” said Britt.

Like her own child-hood, she encouraged her

kids to experience art at an early age and eventually brought it into their school classrooms. At Carmel Creek Elementary School, she de-veloped a writing and illus-trating program for fourth grade students where the children made their own books that were put on dis-play in the library. At Solana Pacific, she led an art and science discovery program called “Whosit, Whatsit, Why.”

“To me, that is a piece of life experience and the creative spirit…encouraging kids to get out there and ex-periment,” said Britt.

Britt didn’t stop at just getting children to be cre-ative—she also started a group for her adult friends called The Artist’s Way. Britt based her group on the book “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron that outlines a 12-week creative program with daily exercises and art proj-ects.

“It’s all about discover-ing what you love, what you like to do and want to do,” Britt said. “It asks you how you see the world, to be cre-ative and excited about it and want to put your ideas out into the world.”

The 12-week program has now lasted six years and, through the Artist’s Way,

many of her friends have discovered not just creative outlets but success in art fields such as writing and photography.

Britt has been playing with the art of paper tapes-try and paper boxes for the last five years.

“It was just something fun I did on the side. I love paper and got to use it in an interesting way,” Britt said. “Although I’m not practic-ing architecture anymore, all those skills about design, balance and seeing, carries over to what I do now, My work has a 3-D feel to it, there’s a lot of structure.”

Strips of beautiful and colorful handmade paper are cut, wrapped and weaved to create a picture. She creates shadow and edge by adding a backing of two-ply illustration board to the strips of paper so it doesn’t just lay flat but has depth.

“There’s a lot of room to be explored (in paper tap-estry) and I expect to be ex-ploring this for a long time,” Britt said.

Her goal is to create art that tells stories and she is most drawn to nature sto-ries, such as the changing color of the bark of Madrona trees on San Juan Islands.

The first year she was in San Diego was right after a

big fire and she was inspired by watching burned areas come back to life. One of her pieces shows bright green grass sprouting from the charred earth, a brilliant and colorful root system shown underneath the black.

“It’s a story of rejuvena-tion, I love that and how it ties into our lives,” said Britt, who is also an avid hiker. “I find that very in-spiring.”

She carved out a studio for herself in the garage, with Ikea shelves fully stocked with art books box-ing her into a cozy, creative

corner. Stacks of pretty pa-per surround her worksta-tion as well as pieces of her mother’s copper enamelist works that she is incorporat-ing into her paper boxes.

A new piece she is working on sprouted from her learning about yucca plants and how they live for seven years before dying. Her piece takes a cue from tree rings, with purple rings representing the yucca’s sev-en-year life.

“When I learned about that I wanted it to be a part of my art so I could tell peo-ple that story so they know that when they go out into

nature,” Britt said. “You con-nect more when you know the cycle of the world around you.”

She has only recently begun showing her work and will be a part of the Coronado Art Walk in Sep-tember.

Her entrance into Span-ish Village came from a chance encounter with one of the artists while she was on a visit there. In talking about her art, the artist en-couraged Britt to try to get into the village, a process that involves applying to a twice-yearly jury. There are 40 studios in the village and more than 100 artists there.

Britt successfully juried in and will work a couple days a week in a studio with three other artists, starting in July. As a member of the village, artists can also have a tent in the courtyard whenever they want.

The experience of how she got there is exactly why she is excited to be in the Village.

“I’m excited about talk-ing and sharing with other artists,” Britt said.

Spanish Village studios are open every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.spanishvillageart.com. For more on Sue Britt, visit www.PaperTapestry.net

The majority of restaurants in the Spanish Revival-style La Valencia hotel have a Mediterranean

influence, but its Whaling Bar & Grill stands out as classic Americana.

It’s a “meat-and-potatoes” type of establishment, with shellfish platters and large cuts of meat — “macho food,” as described by Andrew Mosblech, director of food and beverage.

And its clientele base includes everyone from the tourist in flip-flops and a trucker hat to the businessman in a three-piece suit.

“It’s part of the charm here,” Mosblech said. “You get neigh-borhood chaps (along) with cosmopolitan women from Europe.”

The Whaling Bar & Grill has also hosted La Jolla politicos and Hollywood stars and starlets over the years, such as Dr. Seuss and Gregory Peck, and current celebrities whose identities are generally kept under wraps for confidentiality purposes. During the La Jolla Playhouse season, the restaurant draws a lot of the L.A. entourage, according to Mosblech.

Families are also welcome and made to feel comfortable, with spacious, black-cushioned booths that have dividers to provide a sense of privacy. It’s not unusual to see parents enjoying a martini or Classic Shrimp Cocktail while their children are

stretched out and sleeping next to them after a hard day of playing at the beach.

There’s an Old World feel to the place, too, with its mahogany bar and paneling and antique wooden shutters. Pewter candleholders and Egyptian cotton napkins are set on the white-clothed tables. Several artworks by Wing Howard decorate the brick red-colored walls, including “Whale’s Last Stand,” and whaling tools and a model ship are displayed in glass cases.

From Thursdays through Saturdays, rotating musicians perform quiet, funky, bohemian and vaudevillian tunes, rather than mainstream songs.

For a more “refined, proper” dining experience, patrons may opt to sit on the Café La Rue side of the restaurant. A fireplace offers a more romantic and cozy

atmosphere; the menu is identical to the bar’s.To fully enjoy all that the Whaling Bar &

Grill has to offer, Mosblech recommends coming in with four to six people and hitting the whole menu. But before ordering, make sure to inquire about the “black market” items — those aren’t listed on the menu.

Start with shellfish and a classic cocktail, such as a Ruby Manhattan or Resident Mixologist Scotty Moises’ award-winning Grand Cosmo. Or there’s the newly

introduced Dark and Stormy, a highball-style cocktail that is sometimes described as “Bermuda’s National Drink,” which consists of dark rum and ginger beer over ice.

Next, order a salad, with selections from Mixed Field Greens to the summer specialty of Grilled Peach and Burrata.

Follow up with a glass of red wine and a selection from the ample-portioned “full fare.” Choices include Brick Jidori Chicken with pea risotto and pea tendrils, and the Braised Short Rib with Cipollini onion, sage and fontina polenta and carrots.

For dessert, it’s rumored that Bananas

Foster and Cherries Jubilee have been among the “black market” delectables. And there is also The Whaler, an “adult milkshake” that is a creamy concoction of brandy, Kahula, creme de cacao and vanilla ice cream — a perfect “end-of-the-night capper,” as described by Moises.

There are also more casual dining options: Wednesdays feature beer and burger specials, in which toppings and brew combinations change weekly. The Whaling Bar & Grill’s cicerone (aka beer expert), Tanya Schmidt, assists with pairings and even presents monthly seminars on the art.

Shakespeare Festival under way The Old Globe The-

atre’s 2012 Shakespeare Fes-tival features three classics playing in repertory through Sept. 30 in the out-door Lowell Davies Festival Theatre:

• ”As You Like It” fol-lows flirtation, friendship and mistaken identity in one of Shakespeare’s most-beloved comedies. Rosa-lind escapes into the forest and adopts the persona of a man to get close to her beloved Orlando. But when he falls for another woman, she must untangle the web of deceptions she has woven to win her true love. Directed by Adrian Noble.

• “Richard III” is one of Shakespeare’s most dia-bolical and outrageous vil-lains. As the power-hungry lord sabotages those around him with cunning and treachery in his quest to seize the English crown, his tenuous path to victory begins to crumble. Royal Court Theatre director

In addition to the Shakespeare Festival, the Globe’s 2012 summer pro-gram will include:

• “Divine Rivalry,” by Michael Kramer with D. S. Moynihan, directed by Mi-chael Wilson, runs July 7-Aug. 5 in the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre. “Divine Rivalry” transports audi-ences to 16th-century Flor-ence, where two of the world’s greatest artists, Mi-chelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci, face off in a painting competition orchestrated by political mastermind Niccolò Ma-chiavelli (The Prince). The fascinating contest forms

the backdrop for an even greater battle as the leading minds of the Renaissance clash over political gain, personal riches and the im-mortality of art.

• “God of Carnage,” Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning comedy, directed by Richard Seer, July 27–Sept. 2 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. Meet two pairs of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. How-ever, as the evening goes on, the parents become in-creasingly childish, result-ing in the night devolving into chaos.

• Showtimes: 2, 7 and 8 p.m. Check schedule.• Advice: Bring a jack-et.• Tickets: From $29 at the theatre box office, at (619) 23-GLOBE or online at TheOldG-lobe.org. • Valet parking: $10.• Perks: Discuss the play with members of the Shakespeare Festi-val repertory company at free, post-show fo-rums led by the Globe’s creative staff: “Richard III,” July 11, July 31 and Aug. 21; “As You Like It,” July 17, July 25 and Aug. 28; “Inherit the Wind,” July 10, Aug. 7 and Sept. 5.

If you goTwo more summer shows liven up Globe’s season

Lindsay Posner makes his Old Globe debut with this rivet-ing portrait of obsession and betrayal.

• “Inherit the Wind,” by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee tells the story of a schoolteacher put on trial for teaching Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution, and the two powerhouse lawyers who clash on issues of faith and science. Adrian Noble directs the courtroom drama loosely based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial.

“We are constantly evolving and building our menu of services,” McCabe-Young said.

Whynot decided some 12 years ago that Del Mar was where she wanted to anchor because “it just felt right,” and af-ter traveling the world for years, McCabe-Young also said she didn’t want to settle anywhere other than Del Mar.

When it came time to find a new space for Place360, the two owners looked far and wide, even outside Del Mar, “but just kept looking because we really wanted to stay here,” Mc-Cabe-Young said.

It’s not uncommon for people to seek out high-end designation resort spas for the sake of having every upscale wellness service imaginable under one roof, along with a variety of credentialed practi-tioners.

But it’s not always practi-cal to go on vacation just to improve one’s well-being, or at least that’s the mentality two local ladies had when they launched Place360 Health + Spa two years ago. Tucked away in the Del Mar Medical Arts Building, the fa-cility has become a staple in the community for Chinese herbs and homeopathic rem-edies, among other spa servic-es. As of last month, the busi-ness’s success has allowed owners Helen McCabe-Young and Tracy Whynot to open a larger location and offer more services at 1219 Camino Del Mar, the former site of Belloc-cio Salon and Boutique.

“There’s a lot of curiosity about Chinese medicine, but there’s some trepidation. One would actually have to book an appointment to learn about it, and not everyone is going to do that,” said Mc-Cabe-Young. “Now we have much better visibility and ac-cess to the community. Any-one can walk through our doors and get information about Chinese herbal medi-cine.”

Upon walking into Place360, a visitor will see a lifestyle retail area with an ar-tistically-designed apothecary for custom-blended Chinese herbs. Place360 also sells cus-tom-made essential oils for-mulated for their own mas-sage therapy treatments.

At Place360, clients can cobble together their own in-tegrated wellness program that incorporates fitness, healing and beauty. McCabe-Young’s goal is to offer full in-tegration under one big roof — and rooftop! (Place360 of-fers rooftop yoga and events on occasion.)

“Sometimes you may just need a massage or facial, but if an injury comes up we can refer them in house,” said McCabe-Young. “Other times someone might come in for something serious like reha-bilitation for a sports injury or an emotional issue or a di-gestive problem, and coming here may open their eyes to an entire path to wellness they could be taking.”

With the larger space, Place360 has added more fit-ness options, including pilots and yoga, to its menu of ser-vices, which also includes

BY KAREN BILLINGThe new Torrey Pines Animal

Hospital is now seeing furry, feath-ered and scaled clients at Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel Shopping Center. The clinic opened on May 21 and offers routine vet care, boarding, grooming, surgery, inter-nal medicine and emergency cov-erage.

Three veterinarians with a wealth of experience between them, Dr. Jon Reuter, Dr. Andrew McClellan and Dr. Brad Steele, head up the hospital, offering “top-notch, quality care.”

McClellan, a Torrey Pines High graduate, is a familiar face to Carmel Valley. For the last 10 years he has worked at Pacific Petcare in Carmel Country Plaza, but leapt at the chance to start his own prac-tice with a pair of vets and friends that all believe in the same style of veterinary medicine.

“A lot of clients have been able to find me which is fantastic and definitely is part of the reason to open up here and stay close by,” McClellan said.

At Torrey Pines Animal Hospi-tal, the goal is to offer the commu-nity high-end medicine and diag-nostics, the next level up in veteri-nary care. They said they offer rea-sonable options and experienced care with the most advanced, modern equipment.

“We’re advocates for doing what’s appropriate for the animal,

that doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive thing,” said Reuter, a Torrey Hills resident. “The quali-ty of life of the animal is what’s important and we want to do what’s in the best interest of the owner and the animal.”

Good communication is key and Reuter said they really want to understand client needs.

“That’s his forte,” Reuter said of McClellan. “Establishing a rela-tionship with the owner and the animal.”

All three vets are graduates of UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, although their time there overlapped and they didn’t meet until later. They were friends first, hiking and mountain biking buddies, and became business part-ners later.

McClellan said that from a young age he always wanted to work with animals, but wasn’t as sure by junior high school when he felt that pets were scared to be around veterinarians. But during his first year of college he started working at a vet hospital and he changed his mind.

“I started to think about it more in earnest and what I had to do to get there,” McClellan said. “I knew I wanted to work in the medical field and I always had a love and interest in animals. It was inevitable.”

Reuter grew up in Minnesota and was an active participant in

4-H. He also bred Yorkshire terriers and rabbits and showed them throughout the state.

He did his undergrad at UC Davis and stayed on for his veteri-nary studies, veering into lab ani-mal medicine. He didn’t want to enter the practice vet field until the situation was right, where he could get into management and implement his own ideas.

“It took a long time to get here, a lot of thought went into it and circumstances aligned,” Reuter

said.Steele used to have his own

practice in Vista and specializes in birds, reptiles, exotics and “pocket pets,” such as hamsters and Guin-ea pigs.

“Rather than compete with each other we decided to join forc-es and do it right,” said Reuter.

Reuter will split time between Torrey Pines and the Salk Institute where he serves as the senior direc-tor of the animal research pro-gram.

His experience with lab ani-mals enables him to take care of rabbits, ferrets, and all exotics.

They hope as they develop a solid client base they can begin of-fering home health care where vets could do house calls. Both Reuter’s and Steele’s wives, Rani and Sophie respectively, are also veterinarians and may also fill in at Torrey Pines.

Their new space was formerly a single doctor vet practice for the last 20 years and since they have taken ownership, the hospital has undergone a major renovation and modernization. They have done a lot with a little space, giving up having a little more room by hav-ing such a great location and visi-bility in the community.

Right up front is a new “cat condo” area where cats get to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the back of the hospital. The con-dos can shift in size as needed and they can even create little jungle

gyms for the more active guys, Re-uter said.

In the back they have an in-home lab, pharmacy and diagnos-tics, treatment rooms, and surgical space with new, up-to-date equip-ment. A digital x-ray works like a digital camera, allowing them to adjust resolution and zoom with-out exposing staff and patients longer than needed.

“It’s much more efficient and easier to send files to specialists or to client records,” Reuter said.

Reuter and McClellan aim to have a green practice — everything in the hospital will be digital from records to diagnostic x-rays and lab work. It can all be uploaded to the patient file in real time.

While the single-doctor prac-tice of the past had its limitations, Torrey Pines wants to be able to meet any need, from basic vet care to major surgeries.

“We’re trying to be a one-stop shop for everything,” Reuter said.

Torrey Pines Animal Hospital is located at 3890 Valley Centre Drive, #101, Carmel Valley, 92130, next to Royal Dance Academy in the Piazza Carmel Shopping Cen-ter. The hospital is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Walk-ins are welcome but appoint-ments preferred. Call (858) 720-8724; www. torreypinesvets.com.

Powerhouse Park in Del Mar was filled to capacity on the eve-ning of June 19 with thou-

sands of classic rock music fans. In honor of the Del Mar Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Celebration, the always-popular local band, the Mar Dels, delighted concert attendees who danced the night away. The Mar Dels trace their roots to the Vil-lage of Del Mar and are a crowd-pleasing favorite every time they perform as part of the Summer Twi-light Concert series.

For three decades the Del Mar Foundation has been organizing Summer Twilight Concerts in a spectacular setting overlooking the ocean in Del Mar. Each year the fan base seems to grow, with happy throngs of people who picnic, dance and sing along with the mu-sic. This year was no exception with the park filling up early as the sun shone brightly throughout the afternoon.

New this year is “Opening Acts” sponsored by Zel’s Del Mar. On June 19 the opening act was singer/songwriter Lee Coulter, who warmed up the crowd beginning at 6 p.m.

As always, both locals and visi-tors to the community brought lawn chairs, blankets, picnic dinners, chil-dren, grandchildren, dogs and a bot-tle of wine to enjoy the music with

friends and neighbors. A word to the wise: come early to get a spot on the grass and remember to bring your wallet with you so you can par-ticipate in the evening’s raffle of gift certificates donated by local busi-nesses and restaurants, as well as purchase a specially designed Sum-mer Twilight Concert T-shirt.

These concerts would not be possible without the financial sup-port of local sponsors. The Del Mar Foundation works in partnership with the business community to underwrite the concerts and counts on their participation each year to make them a reality.

This year Concert Patrons in-clude long-time sponsor the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and, new this year, Marrokal Design & Re-modeling. Concert Supporters Jake’s Del Mar, Pacifica Del Mar, Poseidon on the beach, and Sbicca have joined them in underwriting the four concerts.

Mark your calendars for the re-maining three concerts featuring:

• Rockola on July 17 at 7 p.m.• Eve Selis Band on August 21

at 7:00 pm• The Heroes on September 9 at

5:00 pm You can find out more about

BY CATHARINE KAUFMANWhat better way to sa-

lute America on the Fourth of July than to rejoice with one of the staple crops of the fledgling nation – corn.

Corn of Plenty Squanto was the Native

American savior of the New England colonists. He taught them to use the Iroquois’ “Three Sisters” method of planting. A pioneer of sus-tainable farming, Squanto believed the trio of corn (then called maize), beans, and squash were precious gifts from the Great Spirit, each sister an equal farming partner for fertilizing the soil and helping the others thrive.

The maize crop was the “tall sister,” the one who had been specially cultivated to grow enough food to sustain a family for an entire year without harming the envi-ronment.

Stalk Options A bumper crop of locally

grown juicy sweet corncobs overflows at farmers markets in time for July 4th feasts. Popular varieties include the white-pearly Silver Queen, yellow-kernelled Golden Bantam, and the bi-color checkerboard-patterned Am-brosia Hybrid. Super Sweet and sugary-enhanced hybrid varieties have been devel-oped with higher than nor-mal levels of sugar (12-20 percent), the latter divinely creamy and tender with a true old-fashioned corn fla-vor.

Dent corn characterized by an indentation in each kernel is used for animal feed and industrial needs, while hard-shelled Flint corn, aka Indian Corn, which comes in designer shades of indigo blue and rusty red, is used to make popcorn, cornmeal or for ornamental purposes.

Cream of CornCorn is a multi-tasking,

gluten-free grain masquerad-ing as a veggie. Although high in carbohydrates, corn is low in saturated fat, cho-

lesterol and sodium, and is an antioxidant warrior with a motherload of dietary fiber, thiamin and folate.

Although most of corn’s calories come from carbs, it can be made into a low-fat, high-fiber, heart-healthy snack like popcorn, minus the salt and butter, of course.

Two corn warnings: It must be cooked (our guts can’t break down the hearty cellulose in raw kernels) and corn also tends to cause mild inflammation because of blood sugar spikes. Standing advice: moderation.

Lost in a MaizeThere has been a lot of

controversy about Bt corn, short for the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, which has been used to genetically modify corn’s DNA to impart an internal insecticide mech-anism that repels pests.

Corn has also been hit with another toxin called Roundup, so that it can with-stand weed herbicides with-out succumbing itself. Since conventional corn has been clobbered with this double chemical whammy, best to buy unadulterated organic over Frankenstein corn.

Cornucopia• 400,000 farms from

the Corn Belt to California produce nearly 10 billion bushels a year to make corn America’s top field crop;

• Each ear is packed with 800 kernels in 16 rows;

• Corn is an ingredient in more than 3,000 super-market products, including distilled spirits, sweeteners,

starches and soaps; • The world corn-eating

record? 33 ½ ears in 12 min-utes.

(Where possible, use or-ganics)

Ingredients• 8 ears of corn• 1/2 cup maple syrup, dark amber• 1/3 cup unsalted butter • 2 garlic cloves, smashed• 2 chipotle peppers, smashed• Sea salt and cayenne pepper to tasteMethod: Leave husks intact and soak corn in water for 1 hour. In a small sauce-pan, combine ingredients and heat on low until but-ter is melted. Keep warm. Pull husks down, remove silk, and then pull husks up. Cook on medium grill, turning constantly until tender (about 20 minutes). Remove the husks and slather with warm maple butter.

CITY OF DEL MAR

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR THE PROPOSED LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM (LCP) AMENDMENTS LCPA-12-01 AND LCPA-12-02Public Notice is hereby given for review and action on two draft amendments to the City of Del Mar Local Coastal Program (LCP). The City of Del Mar is the applicant for both LCPAs.Background-The City of Del Mar is considering a set of amendments to its Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan and Implementing Ordinances. The Del Mar LCP Land Use Plan was certified by the California Coastal Commission in March of 1993. The Implementing Ordinances were certified by the Coastal Commission in September of 2001. Del Mar is now considering two amendments to its certified LCP as corresponding parts of the City’s efforts to adopt a Village Specific Plan for an approximately 33-acre portion of the community’s downtown area. The two proposed Local Coastal Program Amendments (LCPAs) are described below.LCPA-12-01 would change the land use designation for the geographic area of the Village Specific Plan from its current CC (Central Commercial) designation, as shown on map exhibits in the LCP Land Use Plan and Implementing Ordinances, to a designation of VSP (Village Specific Plan). The amended Land Use Plan and Implementing Ordinance land use maps would be accompanied by a list and general description of allowable uses for properties in the VSP Plan area. No other changes are proposed within LCPA-12-01. The mix of uses proposed in the VSP is consistent with the range of uses allowed under the current Central Commercial Zone designation including: retail, restaurant, personal services, lodging houses, offices, residential development and public facilities. The Village Specific Plan itself will also include set develop-ment parameters for future projects in the plan area, including maximum building heights, required building setbacks and maximum allowable floor area ratios. The Village Specific Plan also includes regulations for the protection of public views. LCPA-12-02 would amend the language of the LCPA Land Use Plan and would establish a new Chapter of the LCP Imple-menting Ordinances regarding parking for uses on private property and for the general public in the area of the Village Specific Plan. The amended Land Use Plan and new Implementing Ordinance Chapter would be applied in concert with existing LCP regulations to new and redevelopment projects in the Village Specific Plan.

Keller WIlliams Carmel Valley/Del Mar Grand Opening party celebrates $1 million renovation at new location

Keller Williams Carmel Valley/Del Mar welcomes licensed real estate agents to 12780 High Bluff Dr., Suite 130, on Thursday, June 28, from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m., to join in on the Grand Opening Agent Open House Party. There will be cocktails, catered food and raffle prizes.

Success and rapid growth required an office upgrade. Keller Williams Carmel Valley/Del Mar agents and staff moved San Diego’s premier luxury real estate office into a new building on Jan. 28, 2012. After a $1 million renovation, the new location boasts upscale design and cutting edge technology.

The Grand Opening Party celebrates not only the beautiful new location but many re-cent accomplishments. May 2012 was a record-breaking month for closed transactions, a re-cord month for new listings signed, and a record month for closed transactions with buyers. Year to date, $71,356 profit has been shared back to the agents of the KW Carmel Valley/ Del Mar franchise.

Keller Williams Carmel Valley/Del Mar agents look forward to serving the community from their new location at 12780 High Bluff Dr.; (858) 720-1900; www.kwcarmelvalley.com

Del Mar to hold ‘Race-Ready’ Horse Sale July 22• Interested in buying a horse to race at the Del Mar meet this summer?

Del Mar’s first-ever “race-ready racehorse sale” will be presented in its pad-dock following the day’s card on Sunday, July 22. The sale is expected to begin at approximately 6:30 p.m.

The idea behind the event is to bring out-of-state horses onto the Del Mar/California racing scene and to introduce new owners to the business in one-stop-shopping fashion. Barretts Equine Limited, California’s premier horse auction com-pany, will conduct the sale and hopes to present at least 20, and perhaps as many as 40, horses of all ages ready for racing at the Del Mar meeting.

The two pubs flanking the paddock – the Whitting-ham and the new 17 Hands – will be open for food and drink during the session, as will the second-level Veran-da Café, overlooking the paddock.

Del Mar partner Sen-tient Jet has signed on as the sponsor of the event, which will be known as the “Del Mar Paddock Sale, Pre-sented by Sentient Jet.”

Many of the sale hors-es will be eligible immedi-ately for advantages under the track’s “Ship and Win” program, which was a big hit when initially tried last summer. The program pro-

vides for out-of-state runners who are brought to Del Mar to earn a check for $1,000 for their first local start, then be eli-gible further for an extra bonus of 25 percent on top of whatever they win in purse monies in that start.

The July 22 paddock sale will be open to all interested parties, newcomers and experienced owners alike. If you’re considering first-time ownership of a horse – either individu-ally or with partners – you’re encouraged to contact the Thoroughbred Owners of California (toconline.com) and/or research ownership through The Jockey Club’s new website for prospective owners — www.ownerview.com

There will also be a special seminar for prospective own-ers on-track on Sunday morning.

Anyone interested in selling out-of-state horses at the event, should contact Barretts’ Kim Lloyd by phone (909) 629-3099 or e-mail [email protected]

Del Mar’s 37-day meeting starts on Wednesday, July 18, and runs through to Wednesday, Sept. 5.
