Last month I wrote about the Jr Bass Club The column had a photo of two boys holding fi sh There were fi ve fi sh total A man named Dave left a message to tell me that he disapproved of the picture and the fact that the young guys were shown with rdquodeadrdquo fi sh He said he only believes in catch and release The fact is the boys had their pictures taken with fi sh that werenrsquot dead and the bass were put back in the lake It was just a quick photo-op for the winners of the biggest catch

Dave is against killing fi sh and perhaps he thinks the photo encouraged children that it was all right to do so I could tell by his voice he was trying to control himself He asked me to call him but didnrsquot leave his phone number He said he would be my advocate which I think meant he wanted me to start a revolt of some kind I talked with fi shermen to get their opinion about Daversquos call They told me most people who fi sh catch and release Though they want the bass to survive they said that Lake Murray was teeming with bass

A reservoir keeper and her assistant told me the fi sh spawn three or four times a year Thousands of fi sh are born with each spawn That creates an oxygen problem for all fi sh in the lake as the babies grow as well as affect the oxygen in our drinking water There are many bass in Lake Murray according to lake staff and other people who fi sh When there are too many fi sh in the lake there isnrsquot enough food for them and they become skinny The object is to have healthy fi sh and I believe that is what all fi shing people want In calling San Diego bass clubs for information I found

NEW ENTRA CASA CELEBRATES 40 YEARSBy John Peterson GAG Kiwanis

The Grantville-Allied Gardens Kiwanis Club was happy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of New Entra Casa June 23 at the United Methodist Church in Mission Valley The luncheon which attracted more than 200 guests was not only a celebration but also a fundraising event for New Entra Casa New Entra Casa is a faith-based home for female ex-offenders who are trying to turn their lives

around The GAG Kiwanis has made New Entra Casa the main recipient of our community service projects for the past several years

New Entra Casarsquos success rate of returning the women to productive careers has been amazing More than 85 percent of its participants have graduated and are now living productive lives as contributing members of society

The economic downturn has hit non-profi t organiza-tions very hard as donations have dwindled substantially to a point where New Entra Casa is having a diffi cult time staying afl oat The 40th Anniversary Celebration was a huge success and when the fi nal numbers are in they expect to make a substantial profi t from their hard work

GAG Kiwanis members Tony and Mary Haas John and Pam Chandler Bob and Ranelle Wall Dave Erlanson Norm and Ruby Townsend Jeanie Labor Sandy Vish Bruce Pastor John and Norma Peterson as well as Jim and Wendy Peterson enjoyed an excellent luncheon prepared by Suzie Q Catering a business owned by a graduate of the program Larry and Yolie McLeland Gen and Derek Suzuki and Gene and Wanda Elmore also purchased tickets to the event but were unable to attend Their contributions to New Entra Casa are greatly appreciated as well Our own Bob Wall was the master of ceremonies for the event

The luncheon was preceded by a silent auction of donated items More than 50 items including a Palm

San Diego - When you decide to sell your home setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home price is often the first thing he or she sees and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before theyrsquore even given a chance of showing

Your asking price is often your homersquos ldquofirst impressionrdquo and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home itrsquos imperative that you make a good first impression

SAN DIEGO GRAND JURY RECOMMENDS CITY STREET REPAIRBy Marc Munic

City of San Diego offi cials may want to start addressing the potholes plaguing city streets

The San Diego County grand jury investigated the Cityrsquos management of its street repair backlog due to ldquomany public outcries and complaintsrdquo and fi led a subsequent report April 24 The report states it has been consistently documented that the current state of city streets is the result of years of insuf-fi cient funding for street maintenance The report includes six recommenda-tions based on ten fi ndings to the Mayorrsquos offi ce and the City Council The Offi ce of the Independent Budget Analyst (IBA) discredited the data the grand jury used and disagreed with many of the fi ndings

The grand jury report does have a few fl aws including a reference to a September 2010 condition report produced by The Road Information Program which describes San Diego as having ldquo50 percent of its major thoroughfares in poor conditionrdquo according to the IBA response A 2011 pavement condition assessment survey concluded however only 25 percent were actually in poor condition With the cityrsquos fi nances constantly being diverted for competing priorities the City Council adopted a Five-Year Deferred Capital Program Funding Plan to raise the percent of streets in good condition from 35 to 39 percent

The IBArsquos response was offi cially recognized by the City Council with a 6-1 vote July 10 This motion was led by Budget and Finance Committee chair Councilman Todd Gloria who strongly disagreed with the grand jury ldquoI was on my soapbox on this committeerdquo Gloria said ldquo[I had] extreme displeasure with the grand jury and their fi ndings which I felt were not refl ective of the true work this council and mayor have done in trying to repair our roadsrdquo

Councilman Carl DeMaio was the one opposing vote ldquoI actually was disappointed with the comments from the city directed at the grand juryrdquo said DeMaio ldquoI think the grand jury raises a number of serious points and impor-tant issues relating to the neglect of San Diego streetsrdquo DeMaio added the reportrsquos fl aws should be overlooked for the sake of trying to fi x the infrastruc-ture problem

ldquoI donrsquot believe the response is appropriate given the important issues that are raised by this outside grouprdquo said DeMaio ldquoI think we should revise and be a far more accepting of the recommendations and the fi ndingsrdquo Despite his vote DeMaio only supported one of the grand juryrsquos recommendations the suggestion that the Council provide a weekly update on the fi ve-year main-tenance plan ndash a recommendation Mayor Jerry Sanders has already started developing and plans to post on the Cityrsquos website for this December

Although the majority of the City Council opposed the grand jury report Sanders has taken the report seriously The mayor has implemented fi ve of the six recommendations suggested by the grand jury The sixth a proposed exca-vation ordinance will be presented to the council later this summer

The proposed Quail Brush Power Plant hit a snag July 19 when the San Diego Planning Commis-sion denied Cogentrixrsquos application to commence a review of the East Elliott Community Plan

The requested review would have allowed city staff to study possible rezoning of the area which opponents said would not be compatible with the power plant The proposed site would be located approximately 10 acres north of Route 52 off of Syca-more Landfi ll Road in the City of San Diego It is surrounded by residential properties and Mission

Trails Regional Park and is 23 of a mile from West Hills High School The site was selected because of its proximity to existing electric transmission corridors and an existing natural gas pipeline and the ability to deliver economic electric generation to the utility system where it is needed according to the Cogentrix website for the Quail Brush project

Although the Commission voted 4-1 to deny the application Cogentrix may fi le an appeal to the City Council Visit our website at wwwscoopsandiegocom for updates on the Quail Brush Power Plant

Letterfrom the EditorBy Genevieve Suzuki

The other day I returned home to retrieve a file for work only to be asked by my mom whether I heard about the massacre at a Colorado movie theater It shocked her when I said I had been too busy to listen to the news which had been running non-stop coverage on what is yet another sad example of a senseless killing spree designed

by a madman to wreak havoc on innocent livesDuring the days that followed the news relentlessly delivered on its

promise to keep us up to date on story developments There were in-depth arti-cles about alleged shooter James Holmesrsquo background and ties to San Diego as well as snippets from Holmesrsquo high school classmates and acquaintances including a guy who shared a beer with Holmes at a neighborhood pub and a woman who was selected as Holmesrsquo online match on a dating website We also saw and heard about the horror in the theater at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises July 20

America being America we couldnrsquot seem to get enough of itUnfortunately that kind of rapt attention comes with consequences My

mom woke one morning and said she didnrsquot sleep well having had night-mares An avid watcher and reader of all things news she admitted to feeling bombarded with story after sad story

The effects arenrsquot only on our subconscious Last weekend at my daughterrsquos

play date her best friendrsquos mom told me she had been counting on seeing The Dark Knight Rises for her birthday but changed her mind because she no longer felt safe in a movie theater ldquoYou never know what could happenrdquo she said

Although I also felt ndash and continue to feel ndash trepidation about seeing a movie I was surprised to feel another emotion much more palpable than fear anger It is likely the same feeling that drives cornered animals to attack their opponent

The word ldquoterroristrdquo is usually associated with extremist groups in the Middle East plotting the downfall of the free world but in this case the word is especially appropriate What makes a person a terrorist has nothing to do with a difference in political or theological beliefs even though that can provide tragic inspiration Rather a terrorist is someone who strikes fear ndash terror ndash in the hearts of others who are frightened of what could happen

A terrorist wins when we stop doing what we love in order to avoid the awful unknown We empower our attackers when we relinquish our freedoms

And while movie theaters may and should take similar security measures as SeaWorld or Disneyland it would be a shame to abandon movies just in case a psychopath with a gun is lying in wait

The Dalai Lama an exiled spiritual leader who lost family members and friends to Tibetrsquos violent takeover once said ldquoWhen we meet real tragedy in life we can react in two ways ndash either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strengthrdquo

In our case we need to honor the Colorado victimsrsquo memories by continuing to live our lives they way we did before the tragedy Allowing a horrific act to mar one of our countryrsquos favorite pastimes gives the perpetrator power we canrsquot afford to lose

So if yoursquore going to avoid a theater this summer let it be the outrageous prices of a ticket and popcorn that keep you away and not the worry that a deranged act of violence will be repeated

STRAIGHT FROM JIMTURNING 21 IN STYLEby Jim Madaffer

Pardon the clicheacute but it is amazing how time flies My twin sons Chris and Kyle turned 21 earlier this month It seems like only yesterday they were in kindergarten at Benchley-Weinberger Elementary or walking precincts with me when I ran for San Diego City Council

As their 21st birthday approached my wife Robin and I wanted to make it special and memorable We decided Las Vegas would be just the right place to celebrate this milestone As some people say it is the last birthday we all look forward to

The morning after Fourth of July we piled in our motorhome and headed for the ldquoCity of Lightsrdquo Over the long weekend we treated the boys to their own hotel suite dinners on the strip rollercoaster rides the UFC mixed-martial arts fight on DirecTV and the spectacular show KA at the MGM Grand

As the clock struck midnight and they were officially 21 we raised our glasses and toasted their special rite of passage Then Robin and I returned to the motorhome and Chris and Kyle headed out to explore the sights and sounds of Las Vegas I will leave it at that because as they sayhelliprdquo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegasrdquo

When I witness tragic events such as the recent shootings in Aurora Colo it reminds me how important it is to make memories with our kids even when they are adults It has been a privilege to raise Chris and Kyle and witness them become fine young men When they were coloring themselves with Sharpies as boys or when they became Eagle Scouts as members of Troop 53 during their senior year at Saint Augustine High School I have always been proud to be their Dad

A friend with grandchildren recently told me how wonderful it is to have adult children I have loved being Chris and Kylersquos Dad at each stage of their lives Although it is hard to believe they are 21 in college and have jobs our relationships are still very strong and close Whether we are celebrating in Las Vegas or hanging out in San Diego I enjoy Chris and Kylersquos company as father and sons and friends Happy 21st birthdays Chris and Kyle Love Dad

Kyle and Chris Madaffer celebrate their 21st birthday in Las Vegas with their dad

COLLEGE AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL By Doug Case CACC President

The CACC was initially established in the 1960s to develop the City of San Diegorsquos first community plan for the neighborhoods near San Diego State College After the plan was developed and revised in 1974 the council disbanded Around 1980 a group of residents re-established the council to deal with neighborhood

issues associated with the university One of those issues was student parking in the community and the CACC was instrumental in the establishment of the Residential Permit Parking District B Another major accomplishment during that era was an update of the community plan completed in 1989

Many communities in San Diego have two separate independent orga-nizations ndash a community or town council and a community planning group recognized by the City Since its inception the CACC has served a dual role as both After the city attorney determined in 2007 that community planning groups must strictly adhere to Californiarsquos Brown Act (open meetings law for governmental entities) we decided to form two inter-related organizations to provide for more operational flexibility Now we are actually two legally sepa-rate organizations ndash the CACC and the College Area Community Planning Board (CACPB) ndash but we share a common board and meet concurrently

The CACPB is a community planning group recognized by the San Diego City Council The purpose of the CACPB is to make recommendations to the City Council planning commission city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters within the College Area boundaries Our boundaries are I-8 on the north El Cajon Boulevard on the south the San DiegoLa Mesa city border on the east and Collwood Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue on the west

The CACPB has 20 members ndash 18 elected from the community for rotating 3-year terms 1 appointed by the President of San Diego State University and 1 appointed by the President of the SDSU Associated Students The CACPB

DEL CERRO ACTION COUNCILBy Jay Wilson DCAC President

Check out the new look of the Lake Murray Community Park Playground On Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14 community members met with tools in hand to assemble hundreds of pieces of new play-ground equipment By noon Saturday all the bolts had been tightened and the playground had taken shape It

is not quite ready for all of the children but the ribbon cutting is not far away The footings need to be poured to safely secure the playground structures the surface needs to be poured and the curb around playground needs to be poured You can check on the status of the playground at wwwlakemurrayparkcom

In December Councilmember-elect Scott Sherman will officially become the councilmember for the new District 7 Scott is already visiting community groups throughout the District 7 I am a member of the District 7 Steering Committee that is comprised of the chairs or presidents of all the community planning groups and community councils We will be meeting with Scott the middle of next month to discuss community and council District 7 concerns If you have a particular city-related concern post a comment on our website at delcerroactioncouncilorg

Two weeks ago Del Cerro Action Council (DCAC) board member Michael McSweeney asked me to join him for a walk-through of the playground at the Princess Del Cerro Park It quickly became apparent the walkway in front of the playground needs immediate attention and not just for aesthetic purposes There are major portions of the sidewalk that are true safety hazards The roots from the adjoining trees are forcing pieces of concrete up several inches The area with the paver bricks some of which were paid for by residents is also cracking The condition of the playground area was a major topic of discussion at our quarterly DCAC meeting in July We will be contacting the city to deter-mine how to quickly fix the problems before someone trips and is seriously injured There are lots of children running around that area on a daily basis

ALLIED GARDENSCOMMUNITY COUNCILBy Marilyn Reed AGCC President

The July 9 Special Town Hall Meeting on the Shawnee Riverbend Project was well attended and the results of a survey taken after the presentation clearly showed these concerns overcrowding traffic excessive building height and the need for on-site park space The Shawnee Project is one of several residential develop-

ments proposed for the Grantville area It will consist of about 1000 multi-family units which will be located between Old Cliffs Road and Princess View on the west side of Mission Gorge Road and east of the San Diego River Sherm Harmer president of Urban Housing Partners Inc delivered the majority of the presentation He revealed new changes to the project since the last time it was presented The most significant difference was the creation of a 53-acre recreational park instead of the 257-acre parcel initial proposed Fees were to have been paid to the City to offset the requirement of the remaining (approxi-mately) 3 acres Other significant changes included the deletion of the single family homes (about 23) which were to be constructed close to the San Diego River This now means that the project will be entirely multifamily residential units consisting of both condominiums and rental apartments When asked by a member of the audience if there would be affordable housing Mr Harmer replied that none would be part of the project

The results of this survey were similar to those from the previous meeting of Feb 6 with the exception of one question which specifically asked whether residents were in favor of the entire project as described Of the more-than-100 surveys returned at the end of the program only 18 percent approved of the project as presented The remaining 82 percent did not As to whether 1000 multifamily units would be excessive for this area 89 percent agreed and commented that the community did not have the infrastructure to support such a large project Regarding building height 76 percent indicated the

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

The gnats are on a rampage at Lake Murray Swarms of these small insects come at one in swarms Some people wear sunglasses so these little demons donrsquot fl y in their eyes and ears If a person is working hard and huffi ng and puffi ng a gnat can fl y in the huffer-and-puffersrsquos mouth Irsquom wearing sunglasses in the dark Our osprey youngster has left its nest but occasionally comes back and sits with mom on the rim of the nest The red tail hawk babies are grown up too Watching the two nests has been a treat for all of us to see I never did get to see the baby great blue herons this year

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

Irsquom hoping to get an astronomer to speak at our Sept 20 meeting There are so many exciting discoveries being made by the Kepler Project possibly fi nding the ldquoGod particlerdquo and the enormous sun fl ares that could affect us

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

PLATT COLLEGE FEATURES COMMUNITY DESIGNSBy Jennifer Coburn

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

Platt College opened its doors more than 30 years ago providing the first computer graphic department in San Diego Today the purposefully small media arts school offers 400 students bachelor of science associate of applied science and diploma programs in such fields as graphic design 3D-animation special effects digital video production and web design and development Recently the school introduced a graphic design curriculum enabling students to create publishing applications for tablets and Android devices

ldquoStudents come to Platt College to gain preparedness for very competitive jobs in the film gaming and graphic design industry and we provide an excel-lent market-relevant educationrdquo said Meg Leiker president of Platt College

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

Leiker said Platt College made a conscious decision to keep its enrollment small so it could maintain a family feeling

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

ldquoWe take students to Comic-Con every year which they naturally love but we also ask them to go beyond their comfort zone and attend the symphony opera and theatre Our school has a wonderful relationship with arts organiza-tions in San Diego We believe that an understanding and appreciation for all

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

height should remain at the 30-foot limit However 24 percent disagreed and suggested an alternative height requirement of 55 feet or about 5 stories

The two fi nal questions on the survey pertained to amending the Navajo Community Plan for construction closer to the San Diego River and allowing ldquoin lieurdquo fees for park space Respectively 93 percent and 94 percent of the audience responded to these questions with an answer of ldquoNordquo Comments written on the surveys expressed skepticism that the traffi c study represented current conditions as well as those projected for the future especially after the projectrsquos completion However one point stood out and pertained to the year 2030 when development is completed in Grantville with a possible 8000 to 11000 residential units At that time (if not before) all intersections and roads in Grantville will be signifi cantly impacted In fact many of the comments were as follows ldquoTraffi c effects presented are unbelievable Greenbrier Zion and Princess View will be greatly impactedrdquo or ldquo Mission Gorge is already a problem That should be fi xed before one more car is added to the traffi crdquo

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

Last month I wrote about the Jr Bass Club The column had a photo of two boys holding fi sh There were fi ve fi sh total A man named Dave left a message to tell me that he disapproved of the picture and the fact that the young guys were shown with rdquodeadrdquo fi sh He said he only believes in catch and release The fact is the boys had their pictures taken with fi sh that werenrsquot dead and the bass were put back in the lake It was just a quick photo-op for the winners of the biggest catch

Dave is against killing fi sh and perhaps he thinks the photo encouraged children that it was all right to do so I could tell by his voice he was trying to control himself He asked me to call him but didnrsquot leave his phone number He said he would be my advocate which I think meant he wanted me to start a revolt of some kind I talked with fi shermen to get their opinion about Daversquos call They told me most people who fi sh catch and release Though they want the bass to survive they said that Lake Murray was teeming with bass

A reservoir keeper and her assistant told me the fi sh spawn three or four times a year Thousands of fi sh are born with each spawn That creates an oxygen problem for all fi sh in the lake as the babies grow as well as affect the oxygen in our drinking water There are many bass in Lake Murray according to lake staff and other people who fi sh When there are too many fi sh in the lake there isnrsquot enough food for them and they become skinny The object is to have healthy fi sh and I believe that is what all fi shing people want In calling San Diego bass clubs for information I found

NEW ENTRA CASA CELEBRATES 40 YEARSBy John Peterson GAG Kiwanis

The Grantville-Allied Gardens Kiwanis Club was happy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of New Entra Casa June 23 at the United Methodist Church in Mission Valley The luncheon which attracted more than 200 guests was not only a celebration but also a fundraising event for New Entra Casa New Entra Casa is a faith-based home for female ex-offenders who are trying to turn their lives

around The GAG Kiwanis has made New Entra Casa the main recipient of our community service projects for the past several years

New Entra Casarsquos success rate of returning the women to productive careers has been amazing More than 85 percent of its participants have graduated and are now living productive lives as contributing members of society

The economic downturn has hit non-profi t organiza-tions very hard as donations have dwindled substantially to a point where New Entra Casa is having a diffi cult time staying afl oat The 40th Anniversary Celebration was a huge success and when the fi nal numbers are in they expect to make a substantial profi t from their hard work

GAG Kiwanis members Tony and Mary Haas John and Pam Chandler Bob and Ranelle Wall Dave Erlanson Norm and Ruby Townsend Jeanie Labor Sandy Vish Bruce Pastor John and Norma Peterson as well as Jim and Wendy Peterson enjoyed an excellent luncheon prepared by Suzie Q Catering a business owned by a graduate of the program Larry and Yolie McLeland Gen and Derek Suzuki and Gene and Wanda Elmore also purchased tickets to the event but were unable to attend Their contributions to New Entra Casa are greatly appreciated as well Our own Bob Wall was the master of ceremonies for the event

The luncheon was preceded by a silent auction of donated items More than 50 items including a Palm

San Diego - When you decide to sell your home setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home price is often the first thing he or she sees and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before theyrsquore even given a chance of showing

Your asking price is often your homersquos ldquofirst impressionrdquo and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home itrsquos imperative that you make a good first impression

SAN DIEGO GRAND JURY RECOMMENDS CITY STREET REPAIRBy Marc Munic

City of San Diego offi cials may want to start addressing the potholes plaguing city streets

The San Diego County grand jury investigated the Cityrsquos management of its street repair backlog due to ldquomany public outcries and complaintsrdquo and fi led a subsequent report April 24 The report states it has been consistently documented that the current state of city streets is the result of years of insuf-fi cient funding for street maintenance The report includes six recommenda-tions based on ten fi ndings to the Mayorrsquos offi ce and the City Council The Offi ce of the Independent Budget Analyst (IBA) discredited the data the grand jury used and disagreed with many of the fi ndings

The grand jury report does have a few fl aws including a reference to a September 2010 condition report produced by The Road Information Program which describes San Diego as having ldquo50 percent of its major thoroughfares in poor conditionrdquo according to the IBA response A 2011 pavement condition assessment survey concluded however only 25 percent were actually in poor condition With the cityrsquos fi nances constantly being diverted for competing priorities the City Council adopted a Five-Year Deferred Capital Program Funding Plan to raise the percent of streets in good condition from 35 to 39 percent

The IBArsquos response was offi cially recognized by the City Council with a 6-1 vote July 10 This motion was led by Budget and Finance Committee chair Councilman Todd Gloria who strongly disagreed with the grand jury ldquoI was on my soapbox on this committeerdquo Gloria said ldquo[I had] extreme displeasure with the grand jury and their fi ndings which I felt were not refl ective of the true work this council and mayor have done in trying to repair our roadsrdquo

Councilman Carl DeMaio was the one opposing vote ldquoI actually was disappointed with the comments from the city directed at the grand juryrdquo said DeMaio ldquoI think the grand jury raises a number of serious points and impor-tant issues relating to the neglect of San Diego streetsrdquo DeMaio added the reportrsquos fl aws should be overlooked for the sake of trying to fi x the infrastruc-ture problem

ldquoI donrsquot believe the response is appropriate given the important issues that are raised by this outside grouprdquo said DeMaio ldquoI think we should revise and be a far more accepting of the recommendations and the fi ndingsrdquo Despite his vote DeMaio only supported one of the grand juryrsquos recommendations the suggestion that the Council provide a weekly update on the fi ve-year main-tenance plan ndash a recommendation Mayor Jerry Sanders has already started developing and plans to post on the Cityrsquos website for this December

Although the majority of the City Council opposed the grand jury report Sanders has taken the report seriously The mayor has implemented fi ve of the six recommendations suggested by the grand jury The sixth a proposed exca-vation ordinance will be presented to the council later this summer

The proposed Quail Brush Power Plant hit a snag July 19 when the San Diego Planning Commis-sion denied Cogentrixrsquos application to commence a review of the East Elliott Community Plan

The requested review would have allowed city staff to study possible rezoning of the area which opponents said would not be compatible with the power plant The proposed site would be located approximately 10 acres north of Route 52 off of Syca-more Landfi ll Road in the City of San Diego It is surrounded by residential properties and Mission

Trails Regional Park and is 23 of a mile from West Hills High School The site was selected because of its proximity to existing electric transmission corridors and an existing natural gas pipeline and the ability to deliver economic electric generation to the utility system where it is needed according to the Cogentrix website for the Quail Brush project

Although the Commission voted 4-1 to deny the application Cogentrix may fi le an appeal to the City Council Visit our website at wwwscoopsandiegocom for updates on the Quail Brush Power Plant

Letterfrom the EditorBy Genevieve Suzuki

The other day I returned home to retrieve a file for work only to be asked by my mom whether I heard about the massacre at a Colorado movie theater It shocked her when I said I had been too busy to listen to the news which had been running non-stop coverage on what is yet another sad example of a senseless killing spree designed

by a madman to wreak havoc on innocent livesDuring the days that followed the news relentlessly delivered on its

promise to keep us up to date on story developments There were in-depth arti-cles about alleged shooter James Holmesrsquo background and ties to San Diego as well as snippets from Holmesrsquo high school classmates and acquaintances including a guy who shared a beer with Holmes at a neighborhood pub and a woman who was selected as Holmesrsquo online match on a dating website We also saw and heard about the horror in the theater at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises July 20

America being America we couldnrsquot seem to get enough of itUnfortunately that kind of rapt attention comes with consequences My

mom woke one morning and said she didnrsquot sleep well having had night-mares An avid watcher and reader of all things news she admitted to feeling bombarded with story after sad story

The effects arenrsquot only on our subconscious Last weekend at my daughterrsquos

play date her best friendrsquos mom told me she had been counting on seeing The Dark Knight Rises for her birthday but changed her mind because she no longer felt safe in a movie theater ldquoYou never know what could happenrdquo she said

Although I also felt ndash and continue to feel ndash trepidation about seeing a movie I was surprised to feel another emotion much more palpable than fear anger It is likely the same feeling that drives cornered animals to attack their opponent

The word ldquoterroristrdquo is usually associated with extremist groups in the Middle East plotting the downfall of the free world but in this case the word is especially appropriate What makes a person a terrorist has nothing to do with a difference in political or theological beliefs even though that can provide tragic inspiration Rather a terrorist is someone who strikes fear ndash terror ndash in the hearts of others who are frightened of what could happen

A terrorist wins when we stop doing what we love in order to avoid the awful unknown We empower our attackers when we relinquish our freedoms

And while movie theaters may and should take similar security measures as SeaWorld or Disneyland it would be a shame to abandon movies just in case a psychopath with a gun is lying in wait

The Dalai Lama an exiled spiritual leader who lost family members and friends to Tibetrsquos violent takeover once said ldquoWhen we meet real tragedy in life we can react in two ways ndash either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strengthrdquo

In our case we need to honor the Colorado victimsrsquo memories by continuing to live our lives they way we did before the tragedy Allowing a horrific act to mar one of our countryrsquos favorite pastimes gives the perpetrator power we canrsquot afford to lose

So if yoursquore going to avoid a theater this summer let it be the outrageous prices of a ticket and popcorn that keep you away and not the worry that a deranged act of violence will be repeated

STRAIGHT FROM JIMTURNING 21 IN STYLEby Jim Madaffer

Pardon the clicheacute but it is amazing how time flies My twin sons Chris and Kyle turned 21 earlier this month It seems like only yesterday they were in kindergarten at Benchley-Weinberger Elementary or walking precincts with me when I ran for San Diego City Council

As their 21st birthday approached my wife Robin and I wanted to make it special and memorable We decided Las Vegas would be just the right place to celebrate this milestone As some people say it is the last birthday we all look forward to

The morning after Fourth of July we piled in our motorhome and headed for the ldquoCity of Lightsrdquo Over the long weekend we treated the boys to their own hotel suite dinners on the strip rollercoaster rides the UFC mixed-martial arts fight on DirecTV and the spectacular show KA at the MGM Grand

As the clock struck midnight and they were officially 21 we raised our glasses and toasted their special rite of passage Then Robin and I returned to the motorhome and Chris and Kyle headed out to explore the sights and sounds of Las Vegas I will leave it at that because as they sayhelliprdquo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegasrdquo

When I witness tragic events such as the recent shootings in Aurora Colo it reminds me how important it is to make memories with our kids even when they are adults It has been a privilege to raise Chris and Kyle and witness them become fine young men When they were coloring themselves with Sharpies as boys or when they became Eagle Scouts as members of Troop 53 during their senior year at Saint Augustine High School I have always been proud to be their Dad

A friend with grandchildren recently told me how wonderful it is to have adult children I have loved being Chris and Kylersquos Dad at each stage of their lives Although it is hard to believe they are 21 in college and have jobs our relationships are still very strong and close Whether we are celebrating in Las Vegas or hanging out in San Diego I enjoy Chris and Kylersquos company as father and sons and friends Happy 21st birthdays Chris and Kyle Love Dad

Kyle and Chris Madaffer celebrate their 21st birthday in Las Vegas with their dad

COLLEGE AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL By Doug Case CACC President

The CACC was initially established in the 1960s to develop the City of San Diegorsquos first community plan for the neighborhoods near San Diego State College After the plan was developed and revised in 1974 the council disbanded Around 1980 a group of residents re-established the council to deal with neighborhood

issues associated with the university One of those issues was student parking in the community and the CACC was instrumental in the establishment of the Residential Permit Parking District B Another major accomplishment during that era was an update of the community plan completed in 1989

Many communities in San Diego have two separate independent orga-nizations ndash a community or town council and a community planning group recognized by the City Since its inception the CACC has served a dual role as both After the city attorney determined in 2007 that community planning groups must strictly adhere to Californiarsquos Brown Act (open meetings law for governmental entities) we decided to form two inter-related organizations to provide for more operational flexibility Now we are actually two legally sepa-rate organizations ndash the CACC and the College Area Community Planning Board (CACPB) ndash but we share a common board and meet concurrently

The CACPB is a community planning group recognized by the San Diego City Council The purpose of the CACPB is to make recommendations to the City Council planning commission city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters within the College Area boundaries Our boundaries are I-8 on the north El Cajon Boulevard on the south the San DiegoLa Mesa city border on the east and Collwood Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue on the west

The CACPB has 20 members ndash 18 elected from the community for rotating 3-year terms 1 appointed by the President of San Diego State University and 1 appointed by the President of the SDSU Associated Students The CACPB

DEL CERRO ACTION COUNCILBy Jay Wilson DCAC President

Check out the new look of the Lake Murray Community Park Playground On Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14 community members met with tools in hand to assemble hundreds of pieces of new play-ground equipment By noon Saturday all the bolts had been tightened and the playground had taken shape It

is not quite ready for all of the children but the ribbon cutting is not far away The footings need to be poured to safely secure the playground structures the surface needs to be poured and the curb around playground needs to be poured You can check on the status of the playground at wwwlakemurrayparkcom

In December Councilmember-elect Scott Sherman will officially become the councilmember for the new District 7 Scott is already visiting community groups throughout the District 7 I am a member of the District 7 Steering Committee that is comprised of the chairs or presidents of all the community planning groups and community councils We will be meeting with Scott the middle of next month to discuss community and council District 7 concerns If you have a particular city-related concern post a comment on our website at delcerroactioncouncilorg

Two weeks ago Del Cerro Action Council (DCAC) board member Michael McSweeney asked me to join him for a walk-through of the playground at the Princess Del Cerro Park It quickly became apparent the walkway in front of the playground needs immediate attention and not just for aesthetic purposes There are major portions of the sidewalk that are true safety hazards The roots from the adjoining trees are forcing pieces of concrete up several inches The area with the paver bricks some of which were paid for by residents is also cracking The condition of the playground area was a major topic of discussion at our quarterly DCAC meeting in July We will be contacting the city to deter-mine how to quickly fix the problems before someone trips and is seriously injured There are lots of children running around that area on a daily basis

Keep in touch with things to do in our community for the whole family by marking the navajoeventscom website as a favorite The next family event is the ldquoMovie in the Parkrdquo on Saturday Aug 4 at the Allied Gardens Community Park The movie will begin at dusk Check the website for the name of the movie

ALLIED GARDENSCOMMUNITY COUNCILBy Marilyn Reed AGCC President

The July 9 Special Town Hall Meeting on the Shawnee Riverbend Project was well attended and the results of a survey taken after the presentation clearly showed these concerns overcrowding traffic excessive building height and the need for on-site park space The Shawnee Project is one of several residential develop-

ments proposed for the Grantville area It will consist of about 1000 multi-family units which will be located between Old Cliffs Road and Princess View on the west side of Mission Gorge Road and east of the San Diego River Sherm Harmer president of Urban Housing Partners Inc delivered the majority of the presentation He revealed new changes to the project since the last time it was presented The most significant difference was the creation of a 53-acre recreational park instead of the 257-acre parcel initial proposed Fees were to have been paid to the City to offset the requirement of the remaining (approxi-mately) 3 acres Other significant changes included the deletion of the single family homes (about 23) which were to be constructed close to the San Diego River This now means that the project will be entirely multifamily residential units consisting of both condominiums and rental apartments When asked by a member of the audience if there would be affordable housing Mr Harmer replied that none would be part of the project

The results of this survey were similar to those from the previous meeting of Feb 6 with the exception of one question which specifically asked whether residents were in favor of the entire project as described Of the more-than-100 surveys returned at the end of the program only 18 percent approved of the project as presented The remaining 82 percent did not As to whether 1000 multifamily units would be excessive for this area 89 percent agreed and commented that the community did not have the infrastructure to support such a large project Regarding building height 76 percent indicated the

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

and other free-standing play pieces will be added Sponsored pavers and signage will likely be the last elements to be installed

The playground could be open as soon as late-August according to Tracy Dahlkamp chair for the Lake Murray Playground Project who based her esti-mate on information from the City of San Diego

ldquoRealistically speaking we are looking at public access to the playground near the end of August or early-September I hope to have the ribbon-cutting ceremony in September sometimerdquo she said

Support for the community-build weekend came in many forms including the donation of food and drink from Windmill Farms FBS Property Manage-ment Mountain Mikersquos Pizza All Things Bright and British CVS San Carlos and The Trails Eatery KidsFest San Diego provided activities for the children Reverie By G photographer Ryan Gunnells took photos of the event

ldquoIt was really wonderful to see how the community came together to make this playground a realityrdquo Dahlkamp said

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

The gnats are on a rampage at Lake Murray Swarms of these small insects come at one in swarms Some people wear sunglasses so these little demons donrsquot fl y in their eyes and ears If a person is working hard and huffi ng and puffi ng a gnat can fl y in the huffer-and-puffersrsquos mouth Irsquom wearing sunglasses in the dark Our osprey youngster has left its nest but occasionally comes back and sits with mom on the rim of the nest The red tail hawk babies are grown up too Watching the two nests has been a treat for all of us to see I never did get to see the baby great blue herons this year

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

PLATT COLLEGE FEATURES COMMUNITY DESIGNSBy Jennifer Coburn

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

Platt College opened its doors more than 30 years ago providing the first computer graphic department in San Diego Today the purposefully small media arts school offers 400 students bachelor of science associate of applied science and diploma programs in such fields as graphic design 3D-animation special effects digital video production and web design and development Recently the school introduced a graphic design curriculum enabling students to create publishing applications for tablets and Android devices

ldquoStudents come to Platt College to gain preparedness for very competitive jobs in the film gaming and graphic design industry and we provide an excel-lent market-relevant educationrdquo said Meg Leiker president of Platt College

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

Leiker said Platt College made a conscious decision to keep its enrollment small so it could maintain a family feeling

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

In addition to holding student art exhibitions at the Lyceum and else-where Platt has featured student artwork at nearly every San Diego public library where also offered a media art presentations for public Students regu-larly compete in the 48-Hour Film Festival participate in Del Mar Fair and other local events

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

ldquoWe take students to Comic-Con every year which they naturally love but we also ask them to go beyond their comfort zone and attend the symphony opera and theatre Our school has a wonderful relationship with arts organiza-tions in San Diego We believe that an understanding and appreciation for all

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

San Diego - When you decide to sell your home setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home price is often the first thing he or she sees and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before theyrsquore even given a chance of showing

Your asking price is often your homersquos ldquofirst impressionrdquo and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home itrsquos imperative that you make a good first impression

This is not as easy as it sounds and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low Taking a look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process and on itrsquos own is not nearly enough to help you make the best decision A recently study which compiles 10 years of industry research has resulted in a new special report entitled ldquoHomesellers How to Get the Price You Want (and Need)rdquo This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles When taken together this information will help you price your home to not only sell but sell for the price you want

SAN DIEGO GRAND JURY RECOMMENDS CITY STREET REPAIRBy Marc Munic

City of San Diego offi cials may want to start addressing the potholes plaguing city streets

The San Diego County grand jury investigated the Cityrsquos management of its street repair backlog due to ldquomany public outcries and complaintsrdquo and fi led a subsequent report April 24 The report states it has been consistently documented that the current state of city streets is the result of years of insuf-fi cient funding for street maintenance The report includes six recommenda-tions based on ten fi ndings to the Mayorrsquos offi ce and the City Council The Offi ce of the Independent Budget Analyst (IBA) discredited the data the grand jury used and disagreed with many of the fi ndings

The grand jury report does have a few fl aws including a reference to a September 2010 condition report produced by The Road Information Program which describes San Diego as having ldquo50 percent of its major thoroughfares in poor conditionrdquo according to the IBA response A 2011 pavement condition assessment survey concluded however only 25 percent were actually in poor condition With the cityrsquos fi nances constantly being diverted for competing priorities the City Council adopted a Five-Year Deferred Capital Program Funding Plan to raise the percent of streets in good condition from 35 to 39 percent

The IBArsquos response was offi cially recognized by the City Council with a 6-1 vote July 10 This motion was led by Budget and Finance Committee chair Councilman Todd Gloria who strongly disagreed with the grand jury ldquoI was on my soapbox on this committeerdquo Gloria said ldquo[I had] extreme displeasure with the grand jury and their fi ndings which I felt were not refl ective of the true work this council and mayor have done in trying to repair our roadsrdquo

Councilman Carl DeMaio was the one opposing vote ldquoI actually was disappointed with the comments from the city directed at the grand juryrdquo said DeMaio ldquoI think the grand jury raises a number of serious points and impor-tant issues relating to the neglect of San Diego streetsrdquo DeMaio added the reportrsquos fl aws should be overlooked for the sake of trying to fi x the infrastruc-ture problem

ldquoI donrsquot believe the response is appropriate given the important issues that are raised by this outside grouprdquo said DeMaio ldquoI think we should revise and be a far more accepting of the recommendations and the fi ndingsrdquo Despite his vote DeMaio only supported one of the grand juryrsquos recommendations the suggestion that the Council provide a weekly update on the fi ve-year main-tenance plan ndash a recommendation Mayor Jerry Sanders has already started developing and plans to post on the Cityrsquos website for this December

Although the majority of the City Council opposed the grand jury report Sanders has taken the report seriously The mayor has implemented fi ve of the six recommendations suggested by the grand jury The sixth a proposed exca-vation ordinance will be presented to the council later this summer

The proposed Quail Brush Power Plant hit a snag July 19 when the San Diego Planning Commis-sion denied Cogentrixrsquos application to commence a review of the East Elliott Community Plan

The requested review would have allowed city staff to study possible rezoning of the area which opponents said would not be compatible with the power plant The proposed site would be located approximately 10 acres north of Route 52 off of Syca-more Landfi ll Road in the City of San Diego It is surrounded by residential properties and Mission

Trails Regional Park and is 23 of a mile from West Hills High School The site was selected because of its proximity to existing electric transmission corridors and an existing natural gas pipeline and the ability to deliver economic electric generation to the utility system where it is needed according to the Cogentrix website for the Quail Brush project

Although the Commission voted 4-1 to deny the application Cogentrix may fi le an appeal to the City Council Visit our website at wwwscoopsandiegocom for updates on the Quail Brush Power Plant

Letterfrom the EditorBy Genevieve Suzuki

The other day I returned home to retrieve a file for work only to be asked by my mom whether I heard about the massacre at a Colorado movie theater It shocked her when I said I had been too busy to listen to the news which had been running non-stop coverage on what is yet another sad example of a senseless killing spree designed

by a madman to wreak havoc on innocent livesDuring the days that followed the news relentlessly delivered on its

promise to keep us up to date on story developments There were in-depth arti-cles about alleged shooter James Holmesrsquo background and ties to San Diego as well as snippets from Holmesrsquo high school classmates and acquaintances including a guy who shared a beer with Holmes at a neighborhood pub and a woman who was selected as Holmesrsquo online match on a dating website We also saw and heard about the horror in the theater at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises July 20

America being America we couldnrsquot seem to get enough of itUnfortunately that kind of rapt attention comes with consequences My

mom woke one morning and said she didnrsquot sleep well having had night-mares An avid watcher and reader of all things news she admitted to feeling bombarded with story after sad story

The effects arenrsquot only on our subconscious Last weekend at my daughterrsquos

play date her best friendrsquos mom told me she had been counting on seeing The Dark Knight Rises for her birthday but changed her mind because she no longer felt safe in a movie theater ldquoYou never know what could happenrdquo she said

Although I also felt ndash and continue to feel ndash trepidation about seeing a movie I was surprised to feel another emotion much more palpable than fear anger It is likely the same feeling that drives cornered animals to attack their opponent

The word ldquoterroristrdquo is usually associated with extremist groups in the Middle East plotting the downfall of the free world but in this case the word is especially appropriate What makes a person a terrorist has nothing to do with a difference in political or theological beliefs even though that can provide tragic inspiration Rather a terrorist is someone who strikes fear ndash terror ndash in the hearts of others who are frightened of what could happen

A terrorist wins when we stop doing what we love in order to avoid the awful unknown We empower our attackers when we relinquish our freedoms

And while movie theaters may and should take similar security measures as SeaWorld or Disneyland it would be a shame to abandon movies just in case a psychopath with a gun is lying in wait

The Dalai Lama an exiled spiritual leader who lost family members and friends to Tibetrsquos violent takeover once said ldquoWhen we meet real tragedy in life we can react in two ways ndash either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strengthrdquo

In our case we need to honor the Colorado victimsrsquo memories by continuing to live our lives they way we did before the tragedy Allowing a horrific act to mar one of our countryrsquos favorite pastimes gives the perpetrator power we canrsquot afford to lose

So if yoursquore going to avoid a theater this summer let it be the outrageous prices of a ticket and popcorn that keep you away and not the worry that a deranged act of violence will be repeated

STRAIGHT FROM JIMTURNING 21 IN STYLEby Jim Madaffer

Pardon the clicheacute but it is amazing how time flies My twin sons Chris and Kyle turned 21 earlier this month It seems like only yesterday they were in kindergarten at Benchley-Weinberger Elementary or walking precincts with me when I ran for San Diego City Council

As their 21st birthday approached my wife Robin and I wanted to make it special and memorable We decided Las Vegas would be just the right place to celebrate this milestone As some people say it is the last birthday we all look forward to

The morning after Fourth of July we piled in our motorhome and headed for the ldquoCity of Lightsrdquo Over the long weekend we treated the boys to their own hotel suite dinners on the strip rollercoaster rides the UFC mixed-martial arts fight on DirecTV and the spectacular show KA at the MGM Grand

As the clock struck midnight and they were officially 21 we raised our glasses and toasted their special rite of passage Then Robin and I returned to the motorhome and Chris and Kyle headed out to explore the sights and sounds of Las Vegas I will leave it at that because as they sayhelliprdquo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegasrdquo

When I witness tragic events such as the recent shootings in Aurora Colo it reminds me how important it is to make memories with our kids even when they are adults It has been a privilege to raise Chris and Kyle and witness them become fine young men When they were coloring themselves with Sharpies as boys or when they became Eagle Scouts as members of Troop 53 during their senior year at Saint Augustine High School I have always been proud to be their Dad

A friend with grandchildren recently told me how wonderful it is to have adult children I have loved being Chris and Kylersquos Dad at each stage of their lives Although it is hard to believe they are 21 in college and have jobs our relationships are still very strong and close Whether we are celebrating in Las Vegas or hanging out in San Diego I enjoy Chris and Kylersquos company as father and sons and friends Happy 21st birthdays Chris and Kyle Love Dad

Kyle and Chris Madaffer celebrate their 21st birthday in Las Vegas with their dad

COLLEGE AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL By Doug Case CACC President

The CACC was initially established in the 1960s to develop the City of San Diegorsquos first community plan for the neighborhoods near San Diego State College After the plan was developed and revised in 1974 the council disbanded Around 1980 a group of residents re-established the council to deal with neighborhood

issues associated with the university One of those issues was student parking in the community and the CACC was instrumental in the establishment of the Residential Permit Parking District B Another major accomplishment during that era was an update of the community plan completed in 1989

Many communities in San Diego have two separate independent orga-nizations ndash a community or town council and a community planning group recognized by the City Since its inception the CACC has served a dual role as both After the city attorney determined in 2007 that community planning groups must strictly adhere to Californiarsquos Brown Act (open meetings law for governmental entities) we decided to form two inter-related organizations to provide for more operational flexibility Now we are actually two legally sepa-rate organizations ndash the CACC and the College Area Community Planning Board (CACPB) ndash but we share a common board and meet concurrently

The CACPB is a community planning group recognized by the San Diego City Council The purpose of the CACPB is to make recommendations to the City Council planning commission city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters within the College Area boundaries Our boundaries are I-8 on the north El Cajon Boulevard on the south the San DiegoLa Mesa city border on the east and Collwood Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue on the west

The CACPB has 20 members ndash 18 elected from the community for rotating 3-year terms 1 appointed by the President of San Diego State University and 1 appointed by the President of the SDSU Associated Students The CACPB

DEL CERRO ACTION COUNCILBy Jay Wilson DCAC President

Check out the new look of the Lake Murray Community Park Playground On Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14 community members met with tools in hand to assemble hundreds of pieces of new play-ground equipment By noon Saturday all the bolts had been tightened and the playground had taken shape It

is not quite ready for all of the children but the ribbon cutting is not far away The footings need to be poured to safely secure the playground structures the surface needs to be poured and the curb around playground needs to be poured You can check on the status of the playground at wwwlakemurrayparkcom

In December Councilmember-elect Scott Sherman will officially become the councilmember for the new District 7 Scott is already visiting community groups throughout the District 7 I am a member of the District 7 Steering Committee that is comprised of the chairs or presidents of all the community planning groups and community councils We will be meeting with Scott the middle of next month to discuss community and council District 7 concerns If you have a particular city-related concern post a comment on our website at delcerroactioncouncilorg

Two weeks ago Del Cerro Action Council (DCAC) board member Michael McSweeney asked me to join him for a walk-through of the playground at the Princess Del Cerro Park It quickly became apparent the walkway in front of the playground needs immediate attention and not just for aesthetic purposes There are major portions of the sidewalk that are true safety hazards The roots from the adjoining trees are forcing pieces of concrete up several inches The area with the paver bricks some of which were paid for by residents is also cracking The condition of the playground area was a major topic of discussion at our quarterly DCAC meeting in July We will be contacting the city to deter-mine how to quickly fix the problems before someone trips and is seriously injured There are lots of children running around that area on a daily basis

Keep in touch with things to do in our community for the whole family by marking the navajoeventscom website as a favorite The next family event is the ldquoMovie in the Parkrdquo on Saturday Aug 4 at the Allied Gardens Community Park The movie will begin at dusk Check the website for the name of the movie

ALLIED GARDENSCOMMUNITY COUNCILBy Marilyn Reed AGCC President

The July 9 Special Town Hall Meeting on the Shawnee Riverbend Project was well attended and the results of a survey taken after the presentation clearly showed these concerns overcrowding traffic excessive building height and the need for on-site park space The Shawnee Project is one of several residential develop-

ments proposed for the Grantville area It will consist of about 1000 multi-family units which will be located between Old Cliffs Road and Princess View on the west side of Mission Gorge Road and east of the San Diego River Sherm Harmer president of Urban Housing Partners Inc delivered the majority of the presentation He revealed new changes to the project since the last time it was presented The most significant difference was the creation of a 53-acre recreational park instead of the 257-acre parcel initial proposed Fees were to have been paid to the City to offset the requirement of the remaining (approxi-mately) 3 acres Other significant changes included the deletion of the single family homes (about 23) which were to be constructed close to the San Diego River This now means that the project will be entirely multifamily residential units consisting of both condominiums and rental apartments When asked by a member of the audience if there would be affordable housing Mr Harmer replied that none would be part of the project

The results of this survey were similar to those from the previous meeting of Feb 6 with the exception of one question which specifically asked whether residents were in favor of the entire project as described Of the more-than-100 surveys returned at the end of the program only 18 percent approved of the project as presented The remaining 82 percent did not As to whether 1000 multifamily units would be excessive for this area 89 percent agreed and commented that the community did not have the infrastructure to support such a large project Regarding building height 76 percent indicated the

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

The playground could be open as soon as late-August according to Tracy Dahlkamp chair for the Lake Murray Playground Project who based her esti-mate on information from the City of San Diego

ldquoRealistically speaking we are looking at public access to the playground near the end of August or early-September I hope to have the ribbon-cutting ceremony in September sometimerdquo she said

Support for the community-build weekend came in many forms including the donation of food and drink from Windmill Farms FBS Property Manage-ment Mountain Mikersquos Pizza All Things Bright and British CVS San Carlos and The Trails Eatery KidsFest San Diego provided activities for the children Reverie By G photographer Ryan Gunnells took photos of the event

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

The gnats are on a rampage at Lake Murray Swarms of these small insects come at one in swarms Some people wear sunglasses so these little demons donrsquot fl y in their eyes and ears If a person is working hard and huffi ng and puffi ng a gnat can fl y in the huffer-and-puffersrsquos mouth Irsquom wearing sunglasses in the dark Our osprey youngster has left its nest but occasionally comes back and sits with mom on the rim of the nest The red tail hawk babies are grown up too Watching the two nests has been a treat for all of us to see I never did get to see the baby great blue herons this year

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

Irsquom hoping to get an astronomer to speak at our Sept 20 meeting There are so many exciting discoveries being made by the Kepler Project possibly fi nding the ldquoGod particlerdquo and the enormous sun fl ares that could affect us

Have a wonderful rest of summer and Irsquoll see you in September For more information call Barbara at (619) 463-9706

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

PLATT COLLEGE FEATURES COMMUNITY DESIGNSBy Jennifer Coburn

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

ldquoStudents come to Platt College to gain preparedness for very competitive jobs in the film gaming and graphic design industry and we provide an excel-lent market-relevant educationrdquo said Meg Leiker president of Platt College

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

Leiker said Platt College made a conscious decision to keep its enrollment small so it could maintain a family feeling

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

height should remain at the 30-foot limit However 24 percent disagreed and suggested an alternative height requirement of 55 feet or about 5 stories

The two fi nal questions on the survey pertained to amending the Navajo Community Plan for construction closer to the San Diego River and allowing ldquoin lieurdquo fees for park space Respectively 93 percent and 94 percent of the audience responded to these questions with an answer of ldquoNordquo Comments written on the surveys expressed skepticism that the traffi c study represented current conditions as well as those projected for the future especially after the projectrsquos completion However one point stood out and pertained to the year 2030 when development is completed in Grantville with a possible 8000 to 11000 residential units At that time (if not before) all intersections and roads in Grantville will be signifi cantly impacted In fact many of the comments were as follows ldquoTraffi c effects presented are unbelievable Greenbrier Zion and Princess View will be greatly impactedrdquo or ldquo Mission Gorge is already a problem That should be fi xed before one more car is added to the traffi crdquo

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

The proposed Quail Brush Power Plant hit a snag July 19 when the San Diego Planning Commis-sion denied Cogentrixrsquos application to commence a review of the East Elliott Community Plan

The requested review would have allowed city staff to study possible rezoning of the area which opponents said would not be compatible with the power plant The proposed site would be located approximately 10 acres north of Route 52 off of Syca-more Landfi ll Road in the City of San Diego It is surrounded by residential properties and Mission

Trails Regional Park and is 23 of a mile from West Hills High School The site was selected because of its proximity to existing electric transmission corridors and an existing natural gas pipeline and the ability to deliver economic electric generation to the utility system where it is needed according to the Cogentrix website for the Quail Brush project

Although the Commission voted 4-1 to deny the application Cogentrix may fi le an appeal to the City Council Visit our website at wwwscoopsandiegocom for updates on the Quail Brush Power Plant

Letterfrom the EditorBy Genevieve Suzuki

The other day I returned home to retrieve a file for work only to be asked by my mom whether I heard about the massacre at a Colorado movie theater It shocked her when I said I had been too busy to listen to the news which had been running non-stop coverage on what is yet another sad example of a senseless killing spree designed

by a madman to wreak havoc on innocent livesDuring the days that followed the news relentlessly delivered on its

promise to keep us up to date on story developments There were in-depth arti-cles about alleged shooter James Holmesrsquo background and ties to San Diego as well as snippets from Holmesrsquo high school classmates and acquaintances including a guy who shared a beer with Holmes at a neighborhood pub and a woman who was selected as Holmesrsquo online match on a dating website We also saw and heard about the horror in the theater at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises July 20

America being America we couldnrsquot seem to get enough of itUnfortunately that kind of rapt attention comes with consequences My

mom woke one morning and said she didnrsquot sleep well having had night-mares An avid watcher and reader of all things news she admitted to feeling bombarded with story after sad story

The effects arenrsquot only on our subconscious Last weekend at my daughterrsquos

play date her best friendrsquos mom told me she had been counting on seeing The Dark Knight Rises for her birthday but changed her mind because she no longer felt safe in a movie theater ldquoYou never know what could happenrdquo she said

Although I also felt ndash and continue to feel ndash trepidation about seeing a movie I was surprised to feel another emotion much more palpable than fear anger It is likely the same feeling that drives cornered animals to attack their opponent

The word ldquoterroristrdquo is usually associated with extremist groups in the Middle East plotting the downfall of the free world but in this case the word is especially appropriate What makes a person a terrorist has nothing to do with a difference in political or theological beliefs even though that can provide tragic inspiration Rather a terrorist is someone who strikes fear ndash terror ndash in the hearts of others who are frightened of what could happen

A terrorist wins when we stop doing what we love in order to avoid the awful unknown We empower our attackers when we relinquish our freedoms

And while movie theaters may and should take similar security measures as SeaWorld or Disneyland it would be a shame to abandon movies just in case a psychopath with a gun is lying in wait

The Dalai Lama an exiled spiritual leader who lost family members and friends to Tibetrsquos violent takeover once said ldquoWhen we meet real tragedy in life we can react in two ways ndash either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strengthrdquo

In our case we need to honor the Colorado victimsrsquo memories by continuing to live our lives they way we did before the tragedy Allowing a horrific act to mar one of our countryrsquos favorite pastimes gives the perpetrator power we canrsquot afford to lose

So if yoursquore going to avoid a theater this summer let it be the outrageous prices of a ticket and popcorn that keep you away and not the worry that a deranged act of violence will be repeated

Editorial amp Commentary

STRAIGHT FROM JIMTURNING 21 IN STYLEby Jim Madaffer

Pardon the clicheacute but it is amazing how time flies My twin sons Chris and Kyle turned 21 earlier this month It seems like only yesterday they were in kindergarten at Benchley-Weinberger Elementary or walking precincts with me when I ran for San Diego City Council

As their 21st birthday approached my wife Robin and I wanted to make it special and memorable We decided Las Vegas would be just the right place to celebrate this milestone As some people say it is the last birthday we all look forward to

The morning after Fourth of July we piled in our motorhome and headed for the ldquoCity of Lightsrdquo Over the long weekend we treated the boys to their own hotel suite dinners on the strip rollercoaster rides the UFC mixed-martial arts fight on DirecTV and the spectacular show KA at the MGM Grand

As the clock struck midnight and they were officially 21 we raised our glasses and toasted their special rite of passage Then Robin and I returned to the motorhome and Chris and Kyle headed out to explore the sights and sounds of Las Vegas I will leave it at that because as they sayhelliprdquo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegasrdquo

When I witness tragic events such as the recent shootings in Aurora Colo it reminds me how important it is to make memories with our kids even when they are adults It has been a privilege to raise Chris and Kyle and witness them become fine young men When they were coloring themselves with Sharpies as boys or when they became Eagle Scouts as members of Troop 53 during their senior year at Saint Augustine High School I have always been proud to be their Dad

A friend with grandchildren recently told me how wonderful it is to have adult children I have loved being Chris and Kylersquos Dad at each stage of their lives Although it is hard to believe they are 21 in college and have jobs our relationships are still very strong and close Whether we are celebrating in Las Vegas or hanging out in San Diego I enjoy Chris and Kylersquos company as father and sons and friends Happy 21st birthdays Chris and Kyle Love Dad

Kyle and Chris Madaffer celebrate their 21st birthday in Las Vegas with their dad

COLLEGE AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL By Doug Case CACC President

The CACC was initially established in the 1960s to develop the City of San Diegorsquos first community plan for the neighborhoods near San Diego State College After the plan was developed and revised in 1974 the council disbanded Around 1980 a group of residents re-established the council to deal with neighborhood

issues associated with the university One of those issues was student parking in the community and the CACC was instrumental in the establishment of the Residential Permit Parking District B Another major accomplishment during that era was an update of the community plan completed in 1989

Many communities in San Diego have two separate independent orga-nizations ndash a community or town council and a community planning group recognized by the City Since its inception the CACC has served a dual role as both After the city attorney determined in 2007 that community planning groups must strictly adhere to Californiarsquos Brown Act (open meetings law for governmental entities) we decided to form two inter-related organizations to provide for more operational flexibility Now we are actually two legally sepa-rate organizations ndash the CACC and the College Area Community Planning Board (CACPB) ndash but we share a common board and meet concurrently

The CACPB is a community planning group recognized by the San Diego City Council The purpose of the CACPB is to make recommendations to the City Council planning commission city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters within the College Area boundaries Our boundaries are I-8 on the north El Cajon Boulevard on the south the San DiegoLa Mesa city border on the east and Collwood Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue on the west

The CACPB has 20 members ndash 18 elected from the community for rotating 3-year terms 1 appointed by the President of San Diego State University and 1 appointed by the President of the SDSU Associated Students The CACPB

DEL CERRO ACTION COUNCILBy Jay Wilson DCAC President

Check out the new look of the Lake Murray Community Park Playground On Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14 community members met with tools in hand to assemble hundreds of pieces of new play-ground equipment By noon Saturday all the bolts had been tightened and the playground had taken shape It

is not quite ready for all of the children but the ribbon cutting is not far away The footings need to be poured to safely secure the playground structures the surface needs to be poured and the curb around playground needs to be poured You can check on the status of the playground at wwwlakemurrayparkcom

In December Councilmember-elect Scott Sherman will officially become the councilmember for the new District 7 Scott is already visiting community groups throughout the District 7 I am a member of the District 7 Steering Committee that is comprised of the chairs or presidents of all the community planning groups and community councils We will be meeting with Scott the middle of next month to discuss community and council District 7 concerns If you have a particular city-related concern post a comment on our website at delcerroactioncouncilorg

Two weeks ago Del Cerro Action Council (DCAC) board member Michael McSweeney asked me to join him for a walk-through of the playground at the Princess Del Cerro Park It quickly became apparent the walkway in front of the playground needs immediate attention and not just for aesthetic purposes There are major portions of the sidewalk that are true safety hazards The roots from the adjoining trees are forcing pieces of concrete up several inches The area with the paver bricks some of which were paid for by residents is also cracking The condition of the playground area was a major topic of discussion at our quarterly DCAC meeting in July We will be contacting the city to deter-mine how to quickly fix the problems before someone trips and is seriously injured There are lots of children running around that area on a daily basis

Keep in touch with things to do in our community for the whole family by marking the navajoeventscom website as a favorite The next family event is the ldquoMovie in the Parkrdquo on Saturday Aug 4 at the Allied Gardens Community Park The movie will begin at dusk Check the website for the name of the movie

ALLIED GARDENSCOMMUNITY COUNCILBy Marilyn Reed AGCC President

The July 9 Special Town Hall Meeting on the Shawnee Riverbend Project was well attended and the results of a survey taken after the presentation clearly showed these concerns overcrowding traffic excessive building height and the need for on-site park space The Shawnee Project is one of several residential develop-

ments proposed for the Grantville area It will consist of about 1000 multi-family units which will be located between Old Cliffs Road and Princess View on the west side of Mission Gorge Road and east of the San Diego River Sherm Harmer president of Urban Housing Partners Inc delivered the majority of the presentation He revealed new changes to the project since the last time it was presented The most significant difference was the creation of a 53-acre recreational park instead of the 257-acre parcel initial proposed Fees were to have been paid to the City to offset the requirement of the remaining (approxi-mately) 3 acres Other significant changes included the deletion of the single family homes (about 23) which were to be constructed close to the San Diego River This now means that the project will be entirely multifamily residential units consisting of both condominiums and rental apartments When asked by a member of the audience if there would be affordable housing Mr Harmer replied that none would be part of the project

The results of this survey were similar to those from the previous meeting of Feb 6 with the exception of one question which specifically asked whether residents were in favor of the entire project as described Of the more-than-100 surveys returned at the end of the program only 18 percent approved of the project as presented The remaining 82 percent did not As to whether 1000 multifamily units would be excessive for this area 89 percent agreed and commented that the community did not have the infrastructure to support such a large project Regarding building height 76 percent indicated the

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

CASA from page 2

and other free-standing play pieces will be added Sponsored pavers and signage will likely be the last elements to be installed

The playground could be open as soon as late-August according to Tracy Dahlkamp chair for the Lake Murray Playground Project who based her esti-mate on information from the City of San Diego

ldquoRealistically speaking we are looking at public access to the playground near the end of August or early-September I hope to have the ribbon-cutting ceremony in September sometimerdquo she said

Support for the community-build weekend came in many forms including the donation of food and drink from Windmill Farms FBS Property Manage-ment Mountain Mikersquos Pizza All Things Bright and British CVS San Carlos and The Trails Eatery KidsFest San Diego provided activities for the children Reverie By G photographer Ryan Gunnells took photos of the event

ldquoIt was really wonderful to see how the community came together to make this playground a realityrdquo Dahlkamp said

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

Letterfrom the EditorBy Genevieve Suzuki

The other day I returned home to retrieve a file for work only to be asked by my mom whether I heard about the massacre at a Colorado movie theater It shocked her when I said I had been too busy to listen to the news which had been running non-stop coverage on what is yet another sad example of a senseless killing spree designed

by a madman to wreak havoc on innocent livesDuring the days that followed the news relentlessly delivered on its

promise to keep us up to date on story developments There were in-depth arti-cles about alleged shooter James Holmesrsquo background and ties to San Diego as well as snippets from Holmesrsquo high school classmates and acquaintances including a guy who shared a beer with Holmes at a neighborhood pub and a woman who was selected as Holmesrsquo online match on a dating website We also saw and heard about the horror in the theater at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises July 20

America being America we couldnrsquot seem to get enough of itUnfortunately that kind of rapt attention comes with consequences My

mom woke one morning and said she didnrsquot sleep well having had night-mares An avid watcher and reader of all things news she admitted to feeling bombarded with story after sad story

The effects arenrsquot only on our subconscious Last weekend at my daughterrsquos

play date her best friendrsquos mom told me she had been counting on seeing The Dark Knight Rises for her birthday but changed her mind because she no longer felt safe in a movie theater ldquoYou never know what could happenrdquo she said

Although I also felt ndash and continue to feel ndash trepidation about seeing a movie I was surprised to feel another emotion much more palpable than fear anger It is likely the same feeling that drives cornered animals to attack their opponent

The word ldquoterroristrdquo is usually associated with extremist groups in the Middle East plotting the downfall of the free world but in this case the word is especially appropriate What makes a person a terrorist has nothing to do with a difference in political or theological beliefs even though that can provide tragic inspiration Rather a terrorist is someone who strikes fear ndash terror ndash in the hearts of others who are frightened of what could happen

A terrorist wins when we stop doing what we love in order to avoid the awful unknown We empower our attackers when we relinquish our freedoms

And while movie theaters may and should take similar security measures as SeaWorld or Disneyland it would be a shame to abandon movies just in case a psychopath with a gun is lying in wait

The Dalai Lama an exiled spiritual leader who lost family members and friends to Tibetrsquos violent takeover once said ldquoWhen we meet real tragedy in life we can react in two ways ndash either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strengthrdquo

In our case we need to honor the Colorado victimsrsquo memories by continuing to live our lives they way we did before the tragedy Allowing a horrific act to mar one of our countryrsquos favorite pastimes gives the perpetrator power we canrsquot afford to lose

So if yoursquore going to avoid a theater this summer let it be the outrageous prices of a ticket and popcorn that keep you away and not the worry that a deranged act of violence will be repeated

STRAIGHT FROM JIMTURNING 21 IN STYLEby Jim Madaffer

Pardon the clicheacute but it is amazing how time flies My twin sons Chris and Kyle turned 21 earlier this month It seems like only yesterday they were in kindergarten at Benchley-Weinberger Elementary or walking precincts with me when I ran for San Diego City Council

As their 21st birthday approached my wife Robin and I wanted to make it special and memorable We decided Las Vegas would be just the right place to celebrate this milestone As some people say it is the last birthday we all look forward to

The morning after Fourth of July we piled in our motorhome and headed for the ldquoCity of Lightsrdquo Over the long weekend we treated the boys to their own hotel suite dinners on the strip rollercoaster rides the UFC mixed-martial arts fight on DirecTV and the spectacular show KA at the MGM Grand

As the clock struck midnight and they were officially 21 we raised our glasses and toasted their special rite of passage Then Robin and I returned to the motorhome and Chris and Kyle headed out to explore the sights and sounds of Las Vegas I will leave it at that because as they sayhelliprdquo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegasrdquo

When I witness tragic events such as the recent shootings in Aurora Colo it reminds me how important it is to make memories with our kids even when they are adults It has been a privilege to raise Chris and Kyle and witness them become fine young men When they were coloring themselves with Sharpies as boys or when they became Eagle Scouts as members of Troop 53 during their senior year at Saint Augustine High School I have always been proud to be their Dad

A friend with grandchildren recently told me how wonderful it is to have adult children I have loved being Chris and Kylersquos Dad at each stage of their lives Although it is hard to believe they are 21 in college and have jobs our relationships are still very strong and close Whether we are celebrating in Las Vegas or hanging out in San Diego I enjoy Chris and Kylersquos company as father and sons and friends Happy 21st birthdays Chris and Kyle Love Dad

Kyle and Chris Madaffer celebrate their 21st birthday in Las Vegas with their dad

COLLEGE AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL By Doug Case CACC President

The CACC was initially established in the 1960s to develop the City of San Diegorsquos first community plan for the neighborhoods near San Diego State College After the plan was developed and revised in 1974 the council disbanded Around 1980 a group of residents re-established the council to deal with neighborhood

issues associated with the university One of those issues was student parking in the community and the CACC was instrumental in the establishment of the Residential Permit Parking District B Another major accomplishment during that era was an update of the community plan completed in 1989

Many communities in San Diego have two separate independent orga-nizations ndash a community or town council and a community planning group recognized by the City Since its inception the CACC has served a dual role as both After the city attorney determined in 2007 that community planning groups must strictly adhere to Californiarsquos Brown Act (open meetings law for governmental entities) we decided to form two inter-related organizations to provide for more operational flexibility Now we are actually two legally sepa-rate organizations ndash the CACC and the College Area Community Planning Board (CACPB) ndash but we share a common board and meet concurrently

The CACPB is a community planning group recognized by the San Diego City Council The purpose of the CACPB is to make recommendations to the City Council planning commission city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters within the College Area boundaries Our boundaries are I-8 on the north El Cajon Boulevard on the south the San DiegoLa Mesa city border on the east and Collwood Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue on the west

The CACPB has 20 members ndash 18 elected from the community for rotating 3-year terms 1 appointed by the President of San Diego State University and 1 appointed by the President of the SDSU Associated Students The CACPB

DEL CERRO ACTION COUNCILBy Jay Wilson DCAC President

Check out the new look of the Lake Murray Community Park Playground On Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14 community members met with tools in hand to assemble hundreds of pieces of new play-ground equipment By noon Saturday all the bolts had been tightened and the playground had taken shape It

is not quite ready for all of the children but the ribbon cutting is not far away The footings need to be poured to safely secure the playground structures the surface needs to be poured and the curb around playground needs to be poured You can check on the status of the playground at wwwlakemurrayparkcom

In December Councilmember-elect Scott Sherman will officially become the councilmember for the new District 7 Scott is already visiting community groups throughout the District 7 I am a member of the District 7 Steering Committee that is comprised of the chairs or presidents of all the community planning groups and community councils We will be meeting with Scott the middle of next month to discuss community and council District 7 concerns If you have a particular city-related concern post a comment on our website at delcerroactioncouncilorg

Two weeks ago Del Cerro Action Council (DCAC) board member Michael McSweeney asked me to join him for a walk-through of the playground at the Princess Del Cerro Park It quickly became apparent the walkway in front of the playground needs immediate attention and not just for aesthetic purposes There are major portions of the sidewalk that are true safety hazards The roots from the adjoining trees are forcing pieces of concrete up several inches The area with the paver bricks some of which were paid for by residents is also cracking The condition of the playground area was a major topic of discussion at our quarterly DCAC meeting in July We will be contacting the city to deter-mine how to quickly fix the problems before someone trips and is seriously injured There are lots of children running around that area on a daily basis

Keep in touch with things to do in our community for the whole family by marking the navajoeventscom website as a favorite The next family event is the ldquoMovie in the Parkrdquo on Saturday Aug 4 at the Allied Gardens Community Park The movie will begin at dusk Check the website for the name of the movie

SAN CARLOS AREA COUNCILBy John F Pilch SCAC President

The San Carlos Area Council (SCAC) has sched-uled a meeting on Wednesday Aug 1 at 7 pm at the San Carlos Branch Library 7265 Jackson Drive The agenda will include an update by the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) about their project in Mission Trails Regional Park and San Carlos which is scheduled to begin mid-August We also plan to have

an update about the Sycamore Canyon Landfill Master Plan Neil Mohr the general manager of the landfill will provide us with details about the proposed master plan and respond to questions from the audience We will not have reports from representatives of elected officials at the meeting

With respect to the SDCWA Pipeline 4 Relining project it will necessi-tate Jackson Drive being torn up again with a 60-foot-by-20-foot portal in front of Keils Traffic will be re-routed to the bank side of Jackson with one lane in each direction The left turn pocket into the shopping center will be unavail-able during construction Patrons of the center will have to enter on Navajo Road or travel down Jackson to Golfcrest Drive and make a U-turn to return to the main entrance on Jackson Drive Please plan to attend and bring your questions about the project and traffic control

In the interim you can view the proposed project on the SDCWA project website at wwwsdcwaorgmission-trails-lake-murray-pipeline-relining

The City Council race in District 7 has been finalized with Scott Sherman certified as the winner Mr Sherman received 15575 votes which was 5017 percent of the total of all votes cast Since this exceeded the 50 percent-plus-1 to be automatically elected by 53 votes he is the councilmember-elect for District 7 Congratulations Mr Sherman We look forward to working with you and your staff after yoursquore sworn in in early December

With respect to the Quail Brush Generation Project it was on the Agenda for the Cityrsquos Planning Commission on Thursday June 28 Due to a 3-2 vote with two commissioners absent (4 votes are needed to approve or reject an issue) the project was continued to July 19 By the time this goes to print the results of the vote will be known and plans made to move forward or appeal

ALLIED GARDENSCOMMUNITY COUNCILBy Marilyn Reed AGCC President

The July 9 Special Town Hall Meeting on the Shawnee Riverbend Project was well attended and the results of a survey taken after the presentation clearly showed these concerns overcrowding traffic excessive building height and the need for on-site park space The Shawnee Project is one of several residential develop-

ments proposed for the Grantville area It will consist of about 1000 multi-family units which will be located between Old Cliffs Road and Princess View on the west side of Mission Gorge Road and east of the San Diego River Sherm Harmer president of Urban Housing Partners Inc delivered the majority of the presentation He revealed new changes to the project since the last time it was presented The most significant difference was the creation of a 53-acre recreational park instead of the 257-acre parcel initial proposed Fees were to have been paid to the City to offset the requirement of the remaining (approxi-mately) 3 acres Other significant changes included the deletion of the single family homes (about 23) which were to be constructed close to the San Diego River This now means that the project will be entirely multifamily residential units consisting of both condominiums and rental apartments When asked by a member of the audience if there would be affordable housing Mr Harmer replied that none would be part of the project

The results of this survey were similar to those from the previous meeting of Feb 6 with the exception of one question which specifically asked whether residents were in favor of the entire project as described Of the more-than-100 surveys returned at the end of the program only 18 percent approved of the project as presented The remaining 82 percent did not As to whether 1000 multifamily units would be excessive for this area 89 percent agreed and commented that the community did not have the infrastructure to support such a large project Regarding building height 76 percent indicated the

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

and other free-standing play pieces will be added Sponsored pavers and signage will likely be the last elements to be installed

The playground could be open as soon as late-August according to Tracy Dahlkamp chair for the Lake Murray Playground Project who based her esti-mate on information from the City of San Diego

ldquoRealistically speaking we are looking at public access to the playground near the end of August or early-September I hope to have the ribbon-cutting ceremony in September sometimerdquo she said

Support for the community-build weekend came in many forms including the donation of food and drink from Windmill Farms FBS Property Manage-ment Mountain Mikersquos Pizza All Things Bright and British CVS San Carlos and The Trails Eatery KidsFest San Diego provided activities for the children Reverie By G photographer Ryan Gunnells took photos of the event

ldquoIt was really wonderful to see how the community came together to make this playground a realityrdquo Dahlkamp said

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

The gnats are on a rampage at Lake Murray Swarms of these small insects come at one in swarms Some people wear sunglasses so these little demons donrsquot fl y in their eyes and ears If a person is working hard and huffi ng and puffi ng a gnat can fl y in the huffer-and-puffersrsquos mouth Irsquom wearing sunglasses in the dark Our osprey youngster has left its nest but occasionally comes back and sits with mom on the rim of the nest The red tail hawk babies are grown up too Watching the two nests has been a treat for all of us to see I never did get to see the baby great blue herons this year

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

Irsquom hoping to get an astronomer to speak at our Sept 20 meeting There are so many exciting discoveries being made by the Kepler Project possibly fi nding the ldquoGod particlerdquo and the enormous sun fl ares that could affect us

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

ldquoStudents come to Platt College to gain preparedness for very competitive jobs in the film gaming and graphic design industry and we provide an excel-lent market-relevant educationrdquo said Meg Leiker president of Platt College

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

Leiker said Platt College made a conscious decision to keep its enrollment small so it could maintain a family feeling

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

In addition to holding student art exhibitions at the Lyceum and else-where Platt has featured student artwork at nearly every San Diego public library where also offered a media art presentations for public Students regu-larly compete in the 48-Hour Film Festival participate in Del Mar Fair and other local events

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

ldquoWe take students to Comic-Con every year which they naturally love but we also ask them to go beyond their comfort zone and attend the symphony opera and theatre Our school has a wonderful relationship with arts organiza-tions in San Diego We believe that an understanding and appreciation for all

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

COLLEGE AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL By Doug Case CACC President

The CACC was initially established in the 1960s to develop the City of San Diegorsquos first community plan for the neighborhoods near San Diego State College After the plan was developed and revised in 1974 the council disbanded Around 1980 a group of residents re-established the council to deal with neighborhood

issues associated with the university One of those issues was student parking in the community and the CACC was instrumental in the establishment of the Residential Permit Parking District B Another major accomplishment during that era was an update of the community plan completed in 1989

Many communities in San Diego have two separate independent orga-nizations ndash a community or town council and a community planning group recognized by the City Since its inception the CACC has served a dual role as both After the city attorney determined in 2007 that community planning groups must strictly adhere to Californiarsquos Brown Act (open meetings law for governmental entities) we decided to form two inter-related organizations to provide for more operational flexibility Now we are actually two legally sepa-rate organizations ndash the CACC and the College Area Community Planning Board (CACPB) ndash but we share a common board and meet concurrently

The CACPB is a community planning group recognized by the San Diego City Council The purpose of the CACPB is to make recommendations to the City Council planning commission city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters within the College Area boundaries Our boundaries are I-8 on the north El Cajon Boulevard on the south the San DiegoLa Mesa city border on the east and Collwood Boulevard and Fairmont Avenue on the west

The CACPB has 20 members ndash 18 elected from the community for rotating 3-year terms 1 appointed by the President of San Diego State University and 1 appointed by the President of the SDSU Associated Students The CACPB

DEL CERRO ACTION COUNCILBy Jay Wilson DCAC President

Check out the new look of the Lake Murray Community Park Playground On Friday July 13 and Saturday July 14 community members met with tools in hand to assemble hundreds of pieces of new play-ground equipment By noon Saturday all the bolts had been tightened and the playground had taken shape It

is not quite ready for all of the children but the ribbon cutting is not far away The footings need to be poured to safely secure the playground structures the surface needs to be poured and the curb around playground needs to be poured You can check on the status of the playground at wwwlakemurrayparkcom

In December Councilmember-elect Scott Sherman will officially become the councilmember for the new District 7 Scott is already visiting community groups throughout the District 7 I am a member of the District 7 Steering Committee that is comprised of the chairs or presidents of all the community planning groups and community councils We will be meeting with Scott the middle of next month to discuss community and council District 7 concerns If you have a particular city-related concern post a comment on our website at delcerroactioncouncilorg

Two weeks ago Del Cerro Action Council (DCAC) board member Michael McSweeney asked me to join him for a walk-through of the playground at the Princess Del Cerro Park It quickly became apparent the walkway in front of the playground needs immediate attention and not just for aesthetic purposes There are major portions of the sidewalk that are true safety hazards The roots from the adjoining trees are forcing pieces of concrete up several inches The area with the paver bricks some of which were paid for by residents is also cracking The condition of the playground area was a major topic of discussion at our quarterly DCAC meeting in July We will be contacting the city to deter-mine how to quickly fix the problems before someone trips and is seriously injured There are lots of children running around that area on a daily basis

Keep in touch with things to do in our community for the whole family by marking the navajoeventscom website as a favorite The next family event is the ldquoMovie in the Parkrdquo on Saturday Aug 4 at the Allied Gardens Community Park The movie will begin at dusk Check the website for the name of the movie

SAN CARLOS AREA COUNCILBy John F Pilch SCAC President

The San Carlos Area Council (SCAC) has sched-uled a meeting on Wednesday Aug 1 at 7 pm at the San Carlos Branch Library 7265 Jackson Drive The agenda will include an update by the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) about their project in Mission Trails Regional Park and San Carlos which is scheduled to begin mid-August We also plan to have

an update about the Sycamore Canyon Landfill Master Plan Neil Mohr the general manager of the landfill will provide us with details about the proposed master plan and respond to questions from the audience We will not have reports from representatives of elected officials at the meeting

With respect to the SDCWA Pipeline 4 Relining project it will necessi-tate Jackson Drive being torn up again with a 60-foot-by-20-foot portal in front of Keils Traffic will be re-routed to the bank side of Jackson with one lane in each direction The left turn pocket into the shopping center will be unavail-able during construction Patrons of the center will have to enter on Navajo Road or travel down Jackson to Golfcrest Drive and make a U-turn to return to the main entrance on Jackson Drive Please plan to attend and bring your questions about the project and traffic control

In the interim you can view the proposed project on the SDCWA project website at wwwsdcwaorgmission-trails-lake-murray-pipeline-relining

The City Council race in District 7 has been finalized with Scott Sherman certified as the winner Mr Sherman received 15575 votes which was 5017 percent of the total of all votes cast Since this exceeded the 50 percent-plus-1 to be automatically elected by 53 votes he is the councilmember-elect for District 7 Congratulations Mr Sherman We look forward to working with you and your staff after yoursquore sworn in in early December

With respect to the Quail Brush Generation Project it was on the Agenda for the Cityrsquos Planning Commission on Thursday June 28 Due to a 3-2 vote with two commissioners absent (4 votes are needed to approve or reject an issue) the project was continued to July 19 By the time this goes to print the results of the vote will be known and plans made to move forward or appeal

ALLIED GARDENSCOMMUNITY COUNCILBy Marilyn Reed AGCC President

The July 9 Special Town Hall Meeting on the Shawnee Riverbend Project was well attended and the results of a survey taken after the presentation clearly showed these concerns overcrowding traffic excessive building height and the need for on-site park space The Shawnee Project is one of several residential develop-

ments proposed for the Grantville area It will consist of about 1000 multi-family units which will be located between Old Cliffs Road and Princess View on the west side of Mission Gorge Road and east of the San Diego River Sherm Harmer president of Urban Housing Partners Inc delivered the majority of the presentation He revealed new changes to the project since the last time it was presented The most significant difference was the creation of a 53-acre recreational park instead of the 257-acre parcel initial proposed Fees were to have been paid to the City to offset the requirement of the remaining (approxi-mately) 3 acres Other significant changes included the deletion of the single family homes (about 23) which were to be constructed close to the San Diego River This now means that the project will be entirely multifamily residential units consisting of both condominiums and rental apartments When asked by a member of the audience if there would be affordable housing Mr Harmer replied that none would be part of the project

The results of this survey were similar to those from the previous meeting of Feb 6 with the exception of one question which specifically asked whether residents were in favor of the entire project as described Of the more-than-100 surveys returned at the end of the program only 18 percent approved of the project as presented The remaining 82 percent did not As to whether 1000 multifamily units would be excessive for this area 89 percent agreed and commented that the community did not have the infrastructure to support such a large project Regarding building height 76 percent indicated the

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

CRUSADERS KICK OFF SUMMER SEASONBy Terry Cords President Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego

Summer is usually the time of the year to slow down relax and enjoy the San Diego weather For the Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego (CSC) however it is our busiest time of the year

Crusaders Soccer Club has continued to grow in both recreational and competitive areas of youth soccer Founded in 1971 we proudly have over 2000 players wearing the Crusaders colors and the CSC logo throughout the San Diego community

Based in the neighborhoods of Allied Garden Del Cerro Grantville and San Carlos we attract some of the best youth soccer players from all parts of San Diego County to play with our club

But summertime is youth soccer tournament-time and we at Crusaders have once again successfully hosted the wildly popular Crusaders Cup This year the Crusaders Cup brought together over 165 teams from all over Southern California in both boys and girls divisions from ages 7 through 19

Soccer tournaments such as the Crusaders Cup showcase youth soccer at its best allowing teams from different clubs leagues and cities that do not usually compete to get the opportunity to compete with each other and create new relationships as well as continuing existing friendships

This year we once again had the ability to use one of the nationrsquos great soccer venues for the tournament the US Olympic Training Center soccer fi elds in Chula Vista The teams playing there this year had the rare oppor-tunity to see actual US Olympians preparing for the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as playing many great soccer games

Speaking of the 2012 Olympic Games Rene Miramontes coaching director for Crusaders Soccer Club spent time last month coaching and preparing the US Paralympic National Soccer Team that will be competing in London In his second year as coaching director at Crusaders Rene joined us from US Soccer where he was National Staff Coach In our next installment we will talk to Rene about his work with the US Paralympic Soccer program the national US Soccer program and his vision for successful and safe youth soccer

Springs condo weekend donated by Gene and Wanda were auctioned off and included successful bids by GAG Kiwanians Three awards were made by New Entra Casa to individuals and organizations for outstanding assistance to New Entra Casa The GAG Kiwanis Club was recognized by New Entra Casa director Hazel Dawson for our efforts on their behalf GAG Kiwanis vice presi-dent Wall accepted the beautiful plaque for our club

The highlight of the program was a fashion show put on by the women in the program The theme was out of the red and into the black ndash appropriate considering their fi nancial diffi culties The models showed off beautiful clothing some of it from their thrift store and were the hit of the luncheon

Two graduates of the program told the stories of their lives from normal childhoods to drugs prostitution crime and prison They described their lives at New Entra Casa where they went back to school graduated from the program and became successful business owners The tears fl owed freely in the audience

GAG Kiwanis is proud to support New Entra Casa and its mission

out that most fi shing clubs have a periodic fi shing days for children The presi-dent of the San Diego Anglers Al Stasukevichof told me Big Brothers and Big Sisters would fi sh together in October Once a year they take kids to Cuyamaca Lake and the club brings ocean fi sh to BBQ after fi shing It is nice for these grown-ups to spend special time with young people and teach them about the amazing outdoors

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

The gnats are on a rampage at Lake Murray Swarms of these small insects come at one in swarms Some people wear sunglasses so these little demons donrsquot fl y in their eyes and ears If a person is working hard and huffi ng and puffi ng a gnat can fl y in the huffer-and-puffersrsquos mouth Irsquom wearing sunglasses in the dark Our osprey youngster has left its nest but occasionally comes back and sits with mom on the rim of the nest The red tail hawk babies are grown up too Watching the two nests has been a treat for all of us to see I never did get to see the baby great blue herons this year

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

Irsquom hoping to get an astronomer to speak at our Sept 20 meeting There are so many exciting discoveries being made by the Kepler Project possibly fi nding the ldquoGod particlerdquo and the enormous sun fl ares that could affect us

Have a wonderful rest of summer and Irsquoll see you in September For more information call Barbara at (619) 463-9706

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

In addition to holding student art exhibitions at the Lyceum and else-where Platt has featured student artwork at nearly every San Diego public library where also offered a media art presentations for public Students regu-larly compete in the 48-Hour Film Festival participate in Del Mar Fair and other local events

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

height should remain at the 30-foot limit However 24 percent disagreed and suggested an alternative height requirement of 55 feet or about 5 stories

The two fi nal questions on the survey pertained to amending the Navajo Community Plan for construction closer to the San Diego River and allowing ldquoin lieurdquo fees for park space Respectively 93 percent and 94 percent of the audience responded to these questions with an answer of ldquoNordquo Comments written on the surveys expressed skepticism that the traffi c study represented current conditions as well as those projected for the future especially after the projectrsquos completion However one point stood out and pertained to the year 2030 when development is completed in Grantville with a possible 8000 to 11000 residential units At that time (if not before) all intersections and roads in Grantville will be signifi cantly impacted In fact many of the comments were as follows ldquoTraffi c effects presented are unbelievable Greenbrier Zion and Princess View will be greatly impactedrdquo or ldquo Mission Gorge is already a problem That should be fi xed before one more car is added to the traffi crdquo

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

For a couple of weeks it was misty in the early mornings at the lake It reminded me artist James Whistlerrsquos work Born in the early1800s Whistler is known best for the portrait of his mother aptly named ldquoWhistlerrsquos Motherrdquo I preferred his paintings of misty mornings of fi shermen on the water They are soft pictures of outlined trees on the banks They are soothing and peaceful I think his mornings near the water ndash I think they were mornings ndash gave him the same feeling we get when we look at his scenes

Our perky no-hands bike rider at the lake is everyonersquos friend She brightens each day (I canrsquot call her one of our homies anymore because Danarsquos daughter said old people shouldnrsquot use that word Maybe I should call lake friends ldquoour peepsrdquo) So when Dana was absent for a week we were very concerned I heard Rabbi Ben Rosen called her and she told him she didnrsquot come to the lake because she was tired What

That seemed incongruous and even inconceivable It was true When she came back she told me that had hosted 250 children at her Gem and Mineral Store in Old Town I asked her if she made a lot of money and she said ldquoWe didnrsquot make money We made memoriesrdquo Thatrsquos our peep

Please come and help us get Lake Murray really clean on Sept 15 It will be the annual I Love a Clean San Diego and International Coastal Cleanup Day We meet at the boat dock The cleanup is from 9 am to noon It is a fun day with children and grownups working together We will have some snacks and water There will be no August meeting

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

In addition to holding student art exhibitions at the Lyceum and else-where Platt has featured student artwork at nearly every San Diego public library where also offered a media art presentations for public Students regu-larly compete in the 48-Hour Film Festival participate in Del Mar Fair and other local events

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

ldquoWe take students to Comic-Con every year which they naturally love but we also ask them to go beyond their comfort zone and attend the symphony opera and theatre Our school has a wonderful relationship with arts organiza-tions in San Diego We believe that an understanding and appreciation for all

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

The two fi nal questions on the survey pertained to amending the Navajo Community Plan for construction closer to the San Diego River and allowing ldquoin lieurdquo fees for park space Respectively 93 percent and 94 percent of the audience responded to these questions with an answer of ldquoNordquo Comments written on the surveys expressed skepticism that the traffi c study represented current conditions as well as those projected for the future especially after the projectrsquos completion However one point stood out and pertained to the year 2030 when development is completed in Grantville with a possible 8000 to 11000 residential units At that time (if not before) all intersections and roads in Grantville will be signifi cantly impacted In fact many of the comments were as follows ldquoTraffi c effects presented are unbelievable Greenbrier Zion and Princess View will be greatly impactedrdquo or ldquo Mission Gorge is already a problem That should be fi xed before one more car is added to the traffi crdquo

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

there A retooled open space proposal for the project doubling the original amount of park space provided to 53 acres was also unveiled

Over the years the Riverbend site has been utilized as auto storage auto dismantling trailer sales concrete mixing and trucking as well as recreational vehicle sales yards

NCPIrsquos July 16 meeting space at Temple Emanu-El was fi lled to capacity by residents wishing to weigh in on the Riverbend project which would signifi -cantly redraw the map for development in the area Attendance was a testa-ment to the signifi cance of the project which some fear is oversized and would bring overburdening demands on traffi c infrastructure and population density diminishing the overall quality of life for existing residents

At the NCPI meeting Sherman D Harmer Jr president of Urban Housing Partners Inc development managers for the project applicant the Garver-Bradley team that has tenanted andor owned the Riverbend property for 40 years presented a revamped vision for redeveloping the current zone

Harmer attempted to sell NCPI planners and local residents on the new Riverbend proposal already fi ve-and-a-half years in the making He contended the project would revitalize Grantville providing direct access to San Diego River for the fi rst time economic development in the form of shopping and housing as well as jobs developer fees and tax revenues in addition to adding much-needed public amenities including park space

ldquoMixed-use simply means providing residential live-work space with parks and recreation with the goal of making the living environment once again walkablerdquo said Harmer during a half-hour presentation

Noting Riverbendrsquos development plan fi ts in with the City of Villages plan to create an interlocking network of self-supporting mixed-use neighborhood centers where people can live and work Harmer said Riverbend would be similar in concept and design to two existing projects ndash Stonecrest in Kearny Mesa on Aero Drive close to Mission Gorge Road and Renaissance La Jolla near Nobel Drive

Describing the existing Riverbend site as ldquoold and industrialrdquo as well as being poorly located Harmer added ldquoItrsquos not cool to have all industrial along-side a river Residential use is much more compatible with the riverrdquo

Harmer also stressed the project is long termldquoWork required to get the project ready to build will take a couple of

years and wersquoll be back to show you the plans and the architecture to get your blessing on itrdquo he said adding construction with project amenities like a club-house fi rst and multi-family unit pads last would commence in 2014 and take ldquofi ve to seven years to build outrdquo

The audience seemed as divided as NCPI planners on Riverbendrsquos revised conceptual plan ldquoIrsquod like to be able to take my kids down to the riverrdquo said Mark Harris of San Carlos ldquoDonrsquot pay too much attention to the naysayers provide a positive voterdquo

Sam Patella of Del Cerro Heights said NCPI planners had a clear-cut choice between ldquoan underutilized development with minimum economic impactrdquo and a large-scale project providing ldquotax revenues public benefi ts like community parks and libraries and local retail services including restaurantsrdquo

Not everyone agreed with Harris and Patella ldquoI commend your putting parks in but there are just too many people

that you want to put in this spacerdquo testifi ed Betty Torrey a 45-year resident ldquoThink of (impacts on) our air quality the water shortage infrastructure and the quality of liferdquo

Jim Peugh of the San Diego Audubon Society said consequences from project development on wildlife habitat and other environmental concerns along the San Diego River havenrsquot been suffi ciently considered

ldquoWildlife is vulnerable and an [environmental impact report] needs to be done taking into account impact to fl ood plainsrdquo he said ldquoDonrsquot approve these changes until environmental issues are resolvedrdquo

Following public remarks NCPI board members went around the table asking questions of Harmer and his associates after which board member Matt Adams of San Carlos moved to approve the project as presented

Before making his motion Adams asked Harmer what would be done if the site was rejected for rezoning and mixed-use redevelopment wasnrsquot allowed

ldquoThe owner wants to take it to a higher and better userdquo answered Harmer adding the owners could hypothetically expand existing industrial uses onsite

Vice chair Anthony Wagner of Allied Gardens disagreed the project was complete enough conceptually to approve ldquoThis project is in confl ict with the community plan amendment you (Riverbend) asked for two months agordquo he said adding ldquoIrsquom not going to vote (in favor) of language yoursquove proposed this eveningrdquo

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

PLATT COLLEGE FEATURES COMMUNITY DESIGNSBy Jennifer Coburn

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

Platt College opened its doors more than 30 years ago providing the first computer graphic department in San Diego Today the purposefully small media arts school offers 400 students bachelor of science associate of applied science and diploma programs in such fields as graphic design 3D-animation special effects digital video production and web design and development Recently the school introduced a graphic design curriculum enabling students to create publishing applications for tablets and Android devices

ldquoStudents come to Platt College to gain preparedness for very competitive jobs in the film gaming and graphic design industry and we provide an excel-lent market-relevant educationrdquo said Meg Leiker president of Platt College

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

Leiker said Platt College made a conscious decision to keep its enrollment small so it could maintain a family feeling

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

In addition to holding student art exhibitions at the Lyceum and else-where Platt has featured student artwork at nearly every San Diego public library where also offered a media art presentations for public Students regu-larly compete in the 48-Hour Film Festival participate in Del Mar Fair and other local events

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

TURNING TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPHBy Mike Stetz

For the past two years Brooke Dorgan has run in the Free to Breathe 5K RunWalk to raise money for lung cancer research and awareness

This year she wonrsquot Thatrsquos because shersquoll be too busy actually running it as the person in charge of the event

If Dorgan hasnrsquot stepped in and taken control of the fundraiser it may have been discontinued For Dorgan

it was an opportunity to do something more for a cause close to her heart

She lost her mother Linda Dorgan to lung cancer Linda was only 47

Dorgan also lost her grandmother to lung cancer Donna Leas was just 51

ldquoIrsquom taking something tragic and making it a posi-tiverdquo Dorgan said of getting involved in the battle against this disease the biggest cancer killer of them all ldquoItrsquos been catharticrdquo

This is her fi rst step taking a proactive role in fi ghting lung cancer Dorgan 33 who lives in the College Area believes itrsquos vital to do so

Itrsquos tough to raise money for this cause because of the stigma that comes with lung cancer she said A number of people fi gure those stricken with lung cancer played a role in getting it And thatrsquos true to a degree Smokers make up a large percentage ndash 90 percent for men 80 percent for women ndash of those who suffer from lung cancer

But that still leaves thousands yearly who acquire the disease who never picked up a cigarette

ldquoMy family got the wrong cancerrdquo Dorgan said Dorgan doesnrsquot believe that smoking play a role in

her motherrsquos death She had given up smoking 20 years earlier when she was only 27 Research has shown that the risk of getting lung cancer diminishes when a smoker quits Quitting does not however completely remove that risk

Dorgan was in the Air Force and based in Louisiana when her mom who lived in St Paul Minn was diag-nosed It was not a good prognosis The cancer had already

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

about what was on votersrsquo minds Sometimes he heard things he didnrsquot like He said a constituent once asked him if he were in developersrsquo back pockets ldquoI live in this neighborhood and I donrsquot want to mess up where I liverdquo said Sherman ldquoFor you to think I could be bought for $500 [the maximum campaign donation] is kind of insultingrdquo

The fact that he was the only one who supported the pension reform measure Proposition B which passed by almost 66 percent may have contributed to his win according to Sherman ldquoThat was a biggierdquo said Sherman who added constituents seem to share his dislike for govern-ment overspending

As the owner of 5th Avenue Insurance Sherman intends to go about busi-ness as usual until his Dec 3 San Diego City Council inauguration His company is thriving having just added a third location in La Mesa to its existing offices in San Diego and Escondido Additionally on July 28 he and a group of ldquoold fishermen from a fishing forumrdquo are taking 30 children from military families on a free fishing day at the bay ldquoWe get out there on a big sport fishing boat ndash we have a great timerdquo said Sherman

Mission Times Courier sat down with the councilman-elect to discuss his immediate past and future

What did you learn from campaigningThat itrsquos very much like the sales business Irsquom in Itrsquos all about relation-

ships and relating to people and being able to listen to whatrsquos on peoplersquos minds And that most people are attuned to the financial issues in the city With all of the different phone calls it was interesting hearing what was on peoplersquos minds

What are you doing to prepareRight now Irsquom gathering resumes and getting ready to hire my staff Come

mid-August Irsquom going to do interviews and put together the team I want as many good people as I can get within my budget [of $900000]

What are your concerns for the communityGetting our streets repaved As soon as we get through Prop A and Prop

B Irsquod like to put money into repaving the streets ndash you can tell they need it just by driving through them And just change the culture of City Hall They seem to think theyrsquoll exist no matter what they ask for Thatrsquos another reason Irsquom relaxed ndash I donrsquot want to run for another office after this I will do what I have to do Irsquom doing eight years and Irsquom done Irsquom a firm believer in the citizen politician

What are your goals for the yearI really want to change the whole budgetary culture in City Hall Get it to

where you can provide incentives for people who come in under budget

How do you want the community to perceive your officeOpen and accessible just like I am in my [business operation] I want

them to understand I want to make government smaller and more efficient so we can improve the neighborhood

PLATT COLLEGE FEATURES COMMUNITY DESIGNSBy Jennifer Coburn

If yoursquove lived in this area for even a short time yoursquove probably driven by Platt College Digital Media Design School in the College Area You may have wondered what the program offers and who attends

Platt College opened its doors more than 30 years ago providing the first computer graphic department in San Diego Today the purposefully small media arts school offers 400 students bachelor of science associate of applied science and diploma programs in such fields as graphic design 3D-animation special effects digital video production and web design and development Recently the school introduced a graphic design curriculum enabling students to create publishing applications for tablets and Android devices

ldquoStudents come to Platt College to gain preparedness for very competitive jobs in the film gaming and graphic design industry and we provide an excel-lent market-relevant educationrdquo said Meg Leiker president of Platt College

ldquoOur graduates have put their skills to work on films like Avatar X-Men Ice Age Mega Mind and many othersrdquo

Leiker said Platt College made a conscious decision to keep its enrollment small so it could maintain a family feeling

ldquoWe want to ensure that every teacher knows his or her students and can spend time on developing their individual strengths Students know we care about their success and create an environment where everyone receives time and attention they need to reach their potential No one is ever treated like a number at Platt Collegerdquo she said

As important as it is for Platt College to maintain its small class size and personal setting dean of education Marketa Hancova says that community engagement is part of the school philosophy

ldquoPart of our video production curriculum allows students to create short narrative films and documentaries and four of our studentsrsquo work were shown at the Lyceum Theatre public space where we regularly hold student art exhi-bitionsrdquo said Hancova

ldquoWe are extremely focused on combining academics with creativity and applying it to real-world settingsrdquo said Hancova who organizes most of the schoolrsquos field trips

ldquoWe take students to Comic-Con every year which they naturally love but we also ask them to go beyond their comfort zone and attend the symphony opera and theatre Our school has a wonderful relationship with arts organiza-tions in San Diego We believe that an understanding and appreciation for all

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

height should remain at the 30-foot limit However 24 percent disagreed and suggested an alternative height requirement of 55 feet or about 5 stories

The two fi nal questions on the survey pertained to amending the Navajo Community Plan for construction closer to the San Diego River and allowing ldquoin lieurdquo fees for park space Respectively 93 percent and 94 percent of the audience responded to these questions with an answer of ldquoNordquo Comments written on the surveys expressed skepticism that the traffi c study represented current conditions as well as those projected for the future especially after the projectrsquos completion However one point stood out and pertained to the year 2030 when development is completed in Grantville with a possible 8000 to 11000 residential units At that time (if not before) all intersections and roads in Grantville will be signifi cantly impacted In fact many of the comments were as follows ldquoTraffi c effects presented are unbelievable Greenbrier Zion and Princess View will be greatly impactedrdquo or ldquo Mission Gorge is already a problem That should be fi xed before one more car is added to the traffi crdquo

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

TROYrsquoS SOUPS UP LUNCHBy Jen Van Tieghem

Walking into Troyrsquos Greek Restaurant I was surprised at both the size of the restaurant and that most of its tables and booths were filled Flanked by a fast-food pizza shop and hair salon the humble storefront opens to a decently sized sit-down establishment with simple clean deacutecor

After being greeted by an upbeat host and friendly servers my dining partner and I settled in for a cozy lunch

The menu at Troyrsquos offers a variety of options I skimmed an entire break-fast menu lunch specialties and a full menu that boasted more than just Greek cuisine The lunch menu included tuna and turkey sandwiches which appeared to be hefty helpings comparable to any area diner and served with ample side dishes

My lunch date was better versed in Greek dishes and insisted we start with the Avgolemono soup As an avid fan of all things soup I was quick to oblige her request She also chose the Dolmades with beef for her entree while I opted for the chicken Souvlaki from the lunch menu Despite my inability to pronounce any of our choices we were treated to our warm dishes of food quickly amid the bustling lunch crowd

The Avgolemono soup arrived first This creamy soup served up all the comforts of an all-American bowl of chicken noodle soup but better The tangy lemon base mixed with rice and chunks of chicken featured layers of flavor After adding a dash of pepper I think I found a new favorite soup

Just as I was scraping the bottom of my bowl our meals arrived The size-able portions and assortment of sides were more than enough to please any picky palate

HAPPY TRAILS ndash STILLBy Mike Stetz

So how long does the magic lastFor Stacey Poon-Kinney and her restaurant the

Trails Neighborhood Eatery in San Carlos itrsquos now one year and counting Last July the popular Food Network TV show Restaurant Impossible did well the impossible

It brought some fairy godmother-like charms to the struggling enterprise by taking Kinneyrsquos business from the brink of failure and propelling it into to success ndash that good fortune is still cooking

On a recent day even as the breakfast hour waned just about every table was filled Same goes for the counter

Kinney expected the early lunch crowd to start fanning in any minute

ldquoIt was literally like a rebirthrdquo she said of the trans-formation that took place when the Restaurant Impos-sible crew led by chef Robert Irvine spent two days and $10000 to redo the family-style restaurant

In the past year her business has grown from 17 employees to 25 thanks to the boost that the national publicity brought People who vacation in San Diego have even made it a point to hit the restaurant she said noting that theyrsquove seen it on the Food Network which has aired the episode at least a dozen times Just recently a person who attended Comic-Con made the trek east to check it

My plate included a skewer of chicken Souvlaki with large pieces of meat and lightly cooked onions along-side rice pilaf Greek salad cooked carrots pita bread and tzatziki sauce ndash a staple of any Greek meal The Dolmades came coated in a lemon sauce which we discovered was the same base for our beloved soup Several warm over-stuffed grape leaves came filled with beef and rice (For vegetarian fans of Dolmades the appetizer menu offers a cold version of the dish stuffed with vegetables) The Dolmades plate was also served with rice bread and the chilled cucumber sauce

My lunch choice at Troyrsquos ensured my return A plate that allows me multiple flavors that stand well on their own as well as making tasty combinations ndash this is what a meal is all about The marinated chicken of the Souvlaki was tender and tasted great on its own dipped in the tzatziki sauce or wrapped in pieces of pita bread The rice was fluffy and moist and the salad was fresh with lots of veggies Our server returned several times to make sure we were enjoying our meals which we assured him between bites

The atmosphere at Troyrsquos is casual The affordably priced estab-lishment features simple tables and booths as well as shaded patio seating out front

With so many other dining options in the area a restaurant that stays busy during midweek lunch times must be doing something right

DEL CERRO AUTHOR RELEASES SECOND NOVELBy Jennifer Coburn

When Del Cerro author Margaret Dilloway drafted her first novel How to be an American Housewife she set the book in the Del Cerro area where she was raised As readers turn the pages they may recognize local streets shops and familiar locales But the strength of the book is not its neighborhood references It is in the poignant storytelling that portrays multidimensional emotion-ally authentic characters in their struggle to connect as a family

The story revolves around the relationship between Shoko a Japa-nese war bride who was brought to the United States shortly after the end of Word War II and her Amer-ican-born adult daughter Sue Until a mission of finding Shokorsquos estranged brother bonds them the two women

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

San Diegorsquos BestLive Music No Cover

DUO TO WATCHPIZARRO BROTHERSBy Cynthia Robertson

Two brothers who live in the College area donrsquot have to live up to the adage that children should be seen and not heard With the way Dominic Pizarro 15 and his brother Angelo 12 play piano people stop in their tracks so they can watch and listen to these prodigies The Pizarro Brothers are a dynamite duo playing classical jazz and Broadway tunes good enough to beat the band

Each brother plays his own piano moving about in swift improvisation off each other Their style is as professional as one would expect from any of the music greats such as Gershwin Duke Ellington and Sinatra all of whom they emulate They garner the attention of both children and adults for their snappy attire and their good looks

ldquoThe boys are young talented passionate and they entertain their audi-encesrdquo said their manager and grandfather Miguel Pizarro

The fi rst time people run across them is often at street fairs or festivals such as the Sicilian Festival in Little Italy People crowd around the brothers awestruck by the music they create together The duo plays for everyone from passersby on the street to affairs such as fundraisers weddings retirement services as well as special events at shopping malls and the Rock Church As a way of giving back to the community the Pizarro Brothers also play for the young patients and their families at the Ronald McDonald House on Monday evenings

ldquoThe families of the Ronald McDonald House have touched our hearts personally with their testimonies of how our music has touched their livesrdquo said Dominic

John OrsquoHara volunteer greeter at the Ronald McDonald House can attest to that ldquoThere are so many things going on emotionally with the families hererdquo OrsquoHara said

OrsquoHara said it has also been a joy to watch the brothers develop in their talent ldquoItrsquos kind of like been watching them grow right in front of merdquo he said

The brothers started playing music together when Dominic was 8 and Angelo 5 The boys would practice their early duets on an upright piano at their grandfatherrsquos photography studio Miguel remembers Dominic fi rst expressing interest in music while playing on a little toy keyboard

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

TAKE ME OUT TO THE DOG PARKBy Sari Reis

In 1979 the fi rst dog park in the United States was opened at Ohlone Park in Berkeley Calif Today there are several hundred of them in cities across the country In San Diego we have 15 dog parks and dog beaches to take our furry kids to play exercise and socialize with their canine buddies

Each dog park has varying rules and regulations For maximum enjoy-ment for you and your pooch be sure to follow the rules Some dog parks offer separate play areas for large and small dogs If you have a small dog I highly recommend one of these places Little dogs less than 25 pounds have more fun when playing with pals of their own ilk

Before you set off for fun and frolic at the local dog park there are a few dorsquos and donrsquots that are particularly important if you are new to these venues

bull If your dog is not well socialized or is aggressive towards other dogs do not take him to the dog park Find other activities for him to enjoy

bull Donrsquot take puppies under 4 months old as they will not be fully immu-nized and are vulnerable to disease

bull Do not take very small children Dog play can often be rough and tumble and small children who get in the way can get hurt

bull If your dog does not respond consistently to the ldquocomerdquo command donrsquot take him to an unfenced dog park

bull Pick up after your dog and for that matter after other peoplersquos dogs It will make for fewer messes on shoes for everyone

bull Bring fresh water and a bowl for your dog Although many dog parks have a drinking faucet and bowls available they can be a source of bacteria and disease

bull If it is sunny and hot be sure there is a sheltered place for your dog to cool down in the shade Make sure he takes breaks from the activity and drinks plenty of water Heat-stroke is a very real danger

bull Your dog should be wearing an ID tag but he should not be wearing a chain or prong collar Chain and prong collars can be grabbed by other dogs and may cause injury

bull Donrsquot bring treats or food to the park as that can cause potential problems of competition with other dogs

bull In case of minor injuries which can happen keep a pet fi rst aid kit in your car

bull Do not bring unaltered dogs to the dog park Period bull Make sure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations and fl ea and tick

treatment bull Most importantly watch your dog at all times Is he being bullied or

bullying others If so take him out of there

Dog parks are set aside for dogs to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled and supervised environment It should be fun and safe for pet parents and their ldquofurry kidsrdquo

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

share a strained relationship that is equal portions love and misunderstanding

Dilloway a Patrick Henry High School grad-uate said when she began thinking about the story she was reminded of her childhood and how she would collect Jacaranda blossoms that had fallen from the trees in the neighborhood She also drew on a great deal of personal experience as the daughter of a Japanese war bride and an American serviceman

The Del Cerro author says her first novel is a work of fiction though there are parallels between her novel and real life For example in both cases young Japanese women are advised by their fathers to marry an American serviceman after the Second World War Like Shoko Dillowayrsquos mother was a great beauty who proposed to her father while he was stationed in Japan Sadly both women suffered serious health issues that were likely caused by the bombing of Nagasaki Dillowayrsquos mother passed away at age 61 while the fictional Shoko benefits from todayrsquos advances in heart surgery

Dilloway has a new release due in August The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns is not set in the Del Cerro area but it plays a major role in the authorrsquos work off the page ldquoA walk around Lake Murray or Mission Trails is the best writerrsquos block curerdquo she says ldquoI have often worked out story prob-

lems while I admire the nature in these areas It just clears your headrdquo Her upcoming release takes place in a fictional town in central California

The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns the story of a prickly biology teacher whose life is forever changed when her teenaged niece Riley appears on her doorstep unannounced While 36-year-old Gal Garner struggles with kidney disease she also dreams of winning Queen of Show in a major rose competition

ldquoGal is inspired by my sister-in-law Deb who had three kidney transplantsrdquo Dilloway said ldquoShe was diagnosed at age 4 with reflux of the kidneys which ruined them Throughout her life she accom-plished more than most healthy people do holding down a full-time teaching job earning a Masterrsquos in Chemistry traveling extensively and volunteering for her favorite baseball team as an usher She passed away in December 2011rdquo She was 43 years old

ldquoThe caretaking storyline comes from similar situations we had in our familyrdquo said Dilloway ldquoWhen I was only 23 my husband and I assumed temporary guardianship of my husbandrsquos 13-year-old nephew hellip It was an experience to suddenly be a de-facto parent to a teenager after not being a parent at all so thatrsquos what I tried to get across in the novelrdquo The author will launch her book at Warwickrsquos in La Jolla Aug 2 at 730 pm For more information about Dilloway and her novels visit wwwmargaretdillowaycom

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoTheyrsquove always been encouraged to strive for their best and learn from their errorsrdquo said their grandfather Excellent local musicians have also played a role in the boysrsquo development as professionals Daniel Jackson and Lee Galloway have been tutors The brothers hope to one day be picked up profes-sionally Pianist and composer Marvin Hamlisch has recognized the abilities of the brothers ldquoAfter listening to the boys perform he said lsquoHow can I follow an act like thatrsquordquo Miguel said

No matter what his grandsons choose for their vocations Miguelrsquos hope for them is that they be happy and prosperous in whichever direction they choose ldquoTheir biggest strength is their ability to be diverse and their discipline in what they aspire to dordquo he said

For Dominic that might be a career in the military ldquoAlthough music is one of my greatest passions my current aspirations are to become an aero-space engineer for the Air Forcerdquo he said His younger brother Angelo whose hobbies include chess composing music and teaching younger students at his school plans to stay totally engaged in music ldquoI see myself attending Julliard or Berkley School of Music to study jazz and music compositionrdquo he said ldquoI also plan to travel the world performing my musicrdquo

Their grandfather and mother both with whom the boys live could not be prouder ldquoWe feel blessed and privileged to see the end results of their hours of practicerdquo Miguel said Whatever career track the boys take there is no doubt they will continue to thrive under the guidance of music greats the applause of audiences everywhere and the blessings of their family

height should remain at the 30-foot limit However 24 percent disagreed and suggested an alternative height requirement of 55 feet or about 5 stories

The two fi nal questions on the survey pertained to amending the Navajo Community Plan for construction closer to the San Diego River and allowing ldquoin lieurdquo fees for park space Respectively 93 percent and 94 percent of the audience responded to these questions with an answer of ldquoNordquo Comments written on the surveys expressed skepticism that the traffi c study represented current conditions as well as those projected for the future especially after the projectrsquos completion However one point stood out and pertained to the year 2030 when development is completed in Grantville with a possible 8000 to 11000 residential units At that time (if not before) all intersections and roads in Grantville will be signifi cantly impacted In fact many of the comments were as follows ldquoTraffi c effects presented are unbelievable Greenbrier Zion and Princess View will be greatly impactedrdquo or ldquo Mission Gorge is already a problem That should be fi xed before one more car is added to the traffi crdquo

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

out she said Of course Kinney is thrilled It was like winning the restaurant lottery getting that kind of exposure and expert business advice But when it comes to the lottery many people blow through their winnings fairly quickly Kinney said that was not going to happen Immediately after the makeover she held a staff meeting and told her crew that the responsibility of success was on all of their shoulders ldquoWe got this great giftrdquo she told them ldquoAnd now itrsquos up to usrdquo That meant providing top-notch service and top-notch food and doing it consistently ndash not just in the days following the programrsquos September premiere Kinney a married mother of two took a gamble buying the restau-rant fi ve years ago with the fi nancial help of her father who is a partner in the business For one thing the location is kind of dicey ndash the restaurant almost blends into a strip-mall type shopping center She took another gamble by more than doubling the size of the restaurant soon after

It also turned out the timing was bad The recession was kicking in She began losing money Her business was on the ropes and she feared she was going to lose it Layoffs at the very least were a distinct possibility And then she applied to be on Restaurant Impossible Cue the magic The interior was changed markedly A dinner menu was added even though Kinney had reser-vations about that given the stress she was already under She was working nearly 100 hours a week and was rarely seeing her husband and children But it had to be done to put the restaurant on the path of vibrancy

Kinney hasnrsquot looked back since ldquoThe show changed lives and not just mine I was able to hire people and give them jobs in an uncertain timerdquo

The past year has fl own by she said And while business has leveled off from the craziness in the beginning ndash when all the hoopla for being chosen for the show was at its highest ndash the restaurant is still doing well Kinney has even hired a part-time manager which has lifted some of the burden from her

Shersquos now working about 60 hours a week which she noted ldquois nothing for a small-business ownerrdquo

also call (800) 822-6228 The Navajo Community Planners Inc (NCPI) held its monthly meeting

July 16 at Temple Emanu-el Two action items involving San Carlos were on the agenda The fi rst was a proposal by City Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit from 25 to 30 mph on Wandermere Drive between Park Ridge and Golfcrest This is in the area of Green Elementary School where we success-fully fought for All-Way Stop signs on Wandermere at Belle Glade several years ago The second was a proposal by Traffi c Engineering to increase the speed limit on Cowles Mt Boulevard from Navajo north to Rainswept Lane SCAC opposed the proposed increases and were joined by residents of both areas The NCPI Board voted unanimously to keep the speed limits at their present designation even though it means the speed limits are no longer radar enforceable We plan to work with NCPI and the City to change the antiquated law that forced these proposals to occur The SCAC thanks the NCPI Board for listening to the San Carlos community residents who testifi ed and rejecting the proposed increases

The major action item was the proposed ShawneeRiverbend project on Mission Gorge Rd and Old Cliffs Rd in GrantvilleAllied Gardens The appli-cant asked for a change of zoning from industrial to mixed-use and a variance in the height limit up to 85 feet The project would consist of 995 residen-tial units mainly condos and apartments with 53 acres of parkland along the San Diego River Opponents expressed their concerns about the density of the project the height of the structures the traffi c impacts lack of infra-structure and the impact on the San Diego River The applicant responded to these concerns and lowered the height of the buildings to 75 feet plus 5 feet for rooftop structures In response to a suggestion to leave the property as industrial the applicant advised the group that this could result in about 1600 vehicles mainly trucks visiting the site each day

After much discussion by residents and board members both pro and con the motion to approve was defeated by 8-7 vote Before a counter-motion could be made and voted upon the meeting was adjourned due to a time deadline The bottom line was ldquoNo Recommendationrdquo by the NCPI Board as the project moves forward to the Planning Commission for a hearing July 26 at a time to be announced Check the City website wwwsandiegogov and click on Plan-ning Commission for more information about the agenda

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

a memorial plaque for Barden on the Mount Soledad Memorial Wall next to the plaque in memory of his father

The military ceremonial fl ag was donated by Bardenrsquos stepmother Elaine Barden a San Carlos resident who wanted to honor Barden for his service to our country by fl ying his fl ag on the Allied Gardens Community Flagpole Donated fl ags are fl own removed folded in a triangle and then taken to the VFW where they are burned in a military ceremony

If you have a fl ag that you would like to donate and fl own on the Commu-nity Flagpole contact John Peterson at 582-2920 The fl agpole was donated to the City of San Diego by the Kiwanis Club of Grantville-Allied Gardens

taken a huge toll Her mother had tumors in her brain and other parts of her body as well Dorgan was able to fl y up monthly to see her but her mother would die only eight months later

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoMy mother was a phenomenal personrdquo she said ldquoAnything I can do to make the world a better place in her name is an honorrdquo

Shersquos doing that this month by chairing the Free to Breath 5K RunWalk Such races are run nationally to help the National Lung Cancer Partnership

San Diegorsquos race will take place on Saturday Aug 18 at Liberty Stationrsquos NTC Park

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

ldquoI had to grow up quicklyrdquo Dorgan saidDespite her family history Dorgan smoked too When her mother was

diagnosed with lung cancer she asked her daughter to stop Dorgan did so but started again when her mother died It was from the stress she said

When her tonsils needed to be taken out later Dorgan quit again ndash this time for good

Now shersquos at battle with the notion that only smokers get this terrible disease and that smokers who get it somehow donrsquot deserve compassion and understanding for their plight

ldquoCancer is cancerrdquo she saidDorgan is amazed at how the funding for lung cancer is woefully lacking

when compared to other types of cancersFor instance even though lung cancer is the biggest killer it gets the least

amount of funding from the National Cancer Institute according to a New York Times analysis On a per death basis it gets $1630 Breast cancer by comparison gets $13452

Why Advocates blame the stigma that comes with lung cancerDorgan is fi ghting for both more funding and an early detection screening

for lung cancer Many people such as her mother arenrsquot diagnosed with lung cancer until itrsquos reached a terminal stage she said

ldquoAt a farmersrsquo market you cannot sell anything you do not growrdquo said Gilruth who is quick to point out his certified producerrsquos certificate a state Department of Agriculture requirement for participating venders ldquoThe public doesnrsquot understand that a certified farmersrsquo market is controlledrdquo

Gilruth has been a full-time farmer for five years and a grower for 16 years He offers Hass and Fuerte avocados a variety of citrus fruits succulents proteas flowers and plants

Farmer Gilbert Quintosrsquo booth sits across Gilruthrsquos Quintos retired from the US Postal Service only to work that much harder as a farmer with acres of land Quintos who sells beautiful bunches of flowers for a fraction of the cost at your local flower shop or grocery store takes a very practical approach to his inventory

ldquoItrsquos a farmersrsquo market ndash whatever we grow we should sellrdquo said Quintos with a shrug and a smile

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

The San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is at Pershing Middle Schoolrsquos field Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

Perhaps one of the best things about the San Carlos Farmersrsquo Market is its friendly open vibe Farmers and venders freely offer tips to anyone who wants to know how to prepare their produce and other food products For instance nopales or prickly pear cactus isnrsquot exactly on everyonersquos regular grocery list Quintos who was selling the vegetable for just $2 a tray July 19 suggested several uses ldquoYou can grill it or even sauteacute itrdquo he said carefully removing spines off a pad with a knife ldquoSee Itrsquos easyrdquo

A few booths down from Quintos sat Cindy Hilliker of Hillikerrsquos Ranch Fresh Eggs which also provides eggs to Windmill Farms and Sprouts

For $275 you can pick up a dozen large brown eggs laid by high-end fed hens Those eggs would probably cost at least a dollar more down the street Jeff Ledbetter a regular farmersrsquo market attendee went straight to Hillikerrsquos booth to pick up his usual dozen He said he prefers the brown over the white When asked for the difference between the two he laughed ldquoColorrdquo

San Carlos resident Ledbetter said he used to wonder why there wasnrsquot a farmersrsquo market closer to home ldquoAnd then this popped uprdquo he said gesturing the row of booths

Pershing Middle School principal Sarah Sullivan is happy to have the market at her school ldquoItrsquos a little quiet with school out but wersquore really excited about itrdquo she said

Sullivan said the market took months to open because it needed to get approval from the San Diego Board of Education and safety issues had to be resolved ldquoThis is great for the community because itrsquos essentially a community promenaderdquo Sullivan said

The market is also a nice source of money for Pershing Middle School which receives 25 percent of the marketrsquos proceeds

Farmersrsquo market manager David Klaman of Community Crops is proud of the San Carlos spot He and his wife Diem Do live in the area and are credited with bringing the Pershing market to life

ldquoAll of these are local farmersrdquo said Klaman who also manages the Ocean Beach farmersrsquo market ldquoI wanted one of these in my own neighborhoodrdquo

Klaman stops at almost every booth to check on his merchants When a farmer is busy selling to a customer Klaman happily pitches in by taking care of other waiting buyers as was the case with Dennis Exline of Rose Cottage Fruits Exline who sells freshly squeezed juice amazed several customers a couple of weeks ago with sweet limes that looked a lot like lemons Exline encouraged everyone standing at his booth to take a taste before judging ldquoYou can believe your eyes and think that itrsquos a lemon or believe the farmer and know that itrsquos a limerdquo he said

Everyone has a good story to tell at the market Dutch Farmers George and Cora Hylkema came to the United States 19 years ago from Holland to run a nursery After their original business fell to a bad economy they decided to try their hands at organic farming ldquoEverybody has to eatrdquo said Cora

The Hylkemas have one of the cutest setups at the market ndash fresh tomatoes herbs and fruits are presented in baskets with their own individual chalkboards

ldquoWe really like it hererdquo said Cora ldquoAnd the good thing is we are supporting the schoolrdquo

In addition to fresh fruits vegetables eggs and flowers market visitors can also find fresh seafood courtesy of Popparsquos Fresh Fish Company Grandmasrsquo Favorites a collection of decadent preserves made by San Carlos resident Pat Jackson-Fassett savory barbecue from Ranchwood BBQ ethnic cuisine such as Gabinarsquos lumpia prepared by Emily Estanislao and refreshing ceviche from La Isla Ceviche sinful rum cake by Gayle Reid Meljess Beesrsquo sweet wildflower honey the ingenious FRuumlTZELS and stylish JustPeachyKeen purses and bags by Melissa Ditalo

Comic-Con International which has an office in La Mesa enjoyed yet another successful year at the San Diego Convention Center

July 12-15 Whether you were an Archie Comics fan a Stan Lee devotee a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a model toy collecter Comic-Con had some-thing to salivate over Artists Alley which seems

to get smaller every year still offered impressive talent both independent and big company names Our personal favorites were the Ugly Doll booth up-and-comer Jerome Lursquos Hyperactive Monkey and the very cool Marvel artists who were more than happy to sign sketchbooks free of charge Although Comic-Con attracts a very mainstream crowd these

days with its movie premieres and Twilight panels it continues to be on the bucket list of fanboys and fangirls everywhere Even if you werenrsquot able to score tickets to the actual event people watching around downtown San Diego during the convention was likely just as entertaining as attending the Big Bang Theory panel

THE IDEAL CONNECTIONFrom Don amp Melissa Teemsma

STAY COOL amp COMFORTABLE WITH THESE SPECIAL OFFERS

Heating amp Air Conditioning

Last month marked the 110th anniversary for modern air conditioning Do you know the history of modern air conditioning Letrsquos take a brief look back in time

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible

It all started in the spring of 1902 in a 5-story Brooklyn brick factory ndash a factory that housed Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing amp Publishing Company You can only imagine how uncomfortably warm the factory could get in the Spring and Summer Not only were temperatures uncomfortable the humidity created some production problems for the Company The humidity caused the paper to expand and contract which meant each color of ink that was applied could be misaligned This generated poor quality waste and lost production days

In an attempt to solve this problem Dr Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what would later becomerecognized as the worldrsquos first modern air conditioning system

The key component included in Dr Carrierrsquos design that had never before been accomplished was humidity control Air conditioning must perform four basic functions 1) control temperature 2) control humidity 3) control air circulation and ventilation 4) cleanse the air

In the early days air conditioners primarily cooled machines like candy manufacturers textile mills and pharmaceutical labs In the 1920s modern air conditioning made its first appearances in offices department stores and movie theatres

By 1955 1 in 22 American homes had some form of air conditioning By 1960 just 5 years later the number quadrupled to 1 in 5 Today 87 of all US households have air conditioning

Today we may recognize and appreciate only certain aspects of AC like comfort cooling The productivity benefits of air conditioning are often underestimated Airconditioning allows other industries to be possible It allows us to be productivein the workplace comfortable in our homes and healthy in our hospitals

So as the sizzling temperatures of summer start to hit us when you go to turn on your air conditioning system take a moment to remember Dr Willis Carrier ndash the man who made it all possible
