DM council hears opinions on One Paseo Carmel Valley developers explore impacts on area
Jan. 12, 2012
No timetable yet for Village Center It’s been a year since mixed-use project was approved for Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING For now, the Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center remains just a “Future home of” sign on a big empty lot on Carmel Valley Road. Several factors are in play keeping shovel from hitting dirt, the first of them being the market, whether there are enough homes and resi-
dents to support a center and continuing work on phasing plans for PHR. “We can’t put a timetable on a construction date at this time,” said Beth Fischer, Pardee Homes division president. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board extensively vetted
and approved the mixed-use Village Center in 2009 and City Council approved the project in January 2010. The 28-acre parcel will have 292 dwelling units, and 215,000 square feet of office and commercial space, including shops, restaurants and a movie theater. With Prop C, a preference was
established that the community would like a grocery store first, planned for the corner of Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Road, across from Canyon Crest Academy. “Pardee Homes has been acSee CENTER, Page 21

As the City of Del Mar conducts studies that will dictate development as part of its own downtown revitalization, a large-scale Carmel Valley project is in the works that could have a major impact on the future of the Village. One Paseo, a proposed mixed-use development planned for the 23-acre parcel at the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real, has some local officials concerned about potential traffic and retail impacts. “One can easily surmise that it will be a negative impact,” said Del Mar City Councilman Don Mosier. “The only question is how great that impact will be.” Bob Fuchs, of the advocacy group “What Price Main Street,” gave a presentation to the Del Mar City Council on Jan. 9 that emphasized the scale of the Kilroy Realty project — 1,852,000 square feet, he said — as well as issues like character, congestion and density increase. While the presentation took on a critical tone, several local residents voiced their support for the project, namely be-
Ag. board members raise potential conflict of interest
Little League on deck
By JOE TASH A proposal by Del Mar fair board member Tom Chino to foster transparency on the panel took a sideways turn at the board’s Tuesday meeting, when fellow board members and a deputy attorney general instead questioned whether Chino’s relationship with a local attorney amounts to a conflict of interest. Chino, who was one
of five new board members appointed last summer by Gov. Jerry Brown, proposed that the board pass a policy that all committee meetings – and meetings with state and federal representatives – be held in publicly noticed open session. In a series of emails between Chino, other board members and officials with See CONFLICT, Page 6

BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Police Department is still looking for a suspect who vandalized 17 cars in Carmel Valley on Wednesday, Jan. 4. The tires of 17 cars were slashed along the 5200 block of Pearlman Way off Ashley Falls Drive, according to Northwestern Division Sgt. Ernesto Servin.
The suspect, a white male spotted wearing shorts and a ski mask, began his vandalism spree around 9 p.m. He first broke into a travel trailer and stole knives. “The suspect then used the knives to slash the tires See SLASHINGS, Page 22

Bluff project wraps up in Del Mar BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
A $4.8 million project to stabilize 1.6 miles of coastal bluffs between Seagrove Park and Torrey Pines State Beach will culminate this week. The project, carried out by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and funded primarily from Statewide Transportation Improvement Program and Feder-
al Transportation Administration grants, was meant to stabilize the bluffs as a preventative measure because erosion can cause the bluff face to inch closer to the coastal train track. “Bluffs erode naturally, either by wind or storm, over time, so we wanted to stabilize them so they will still be there whether or not the tracks are there in the future,” said Jim Linthicum, SANDAG’s director of
The numbers of crimes and arrests/citations with valid addresses that were reported to the San Diego County’s Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) by Jan. 3, 2012 for the month of Dec. 2011 in Carmel Valley, North City, and Torrey Highlands are shown below: Carmel Valley • 3 Crimes against persons: 1 aggravated and 1 simple assault, and 1 rape • 48 Crimes involving property: 10 residential burglaries, 3 financial, 9 malicious mischief/vandalism, 3 shoplifting, 2 vehicle theft, 6 theft other than shoplifting and vehicle, and 15 vehicle break-ins • 12 Other lesser crimes • 76 Arrests/Citations: 3 assault, 3 drunk in public, 2 DUI, 4 narcotics, 4 speeding, 47 traffic other than DUI and speeding, and 13 other types North City • 10 Crimes involving property: 2 commercial and 3 residential burglaries, 1 financial, 1 shoplifting, and 2 theft other than mobility. “If a big storm comes in, we don’t want to come in on an emergency basis. This is preventative maintenance, part of owning and maintaining a railroad.” The project consisted of drilling 36-inch diameter holes spaced 10 feet apart and reaching 40 to 65 feet into the bluff. Steel reinforcement beams were installed in the holes, which were backfilled with concrete, and tie-backs were installed at some locations. “Instead of building a wall that everyone will see, we drill these shafts every 10

feet and they form a wall inside the bluff,” Linthicum said. The project was planned according to an extensive soil study conducted in 2004, which assessed the geography of the area and prioritized areas to be stabilized. Another phase of bluff stabilization will take place when funds are available, Linthicum said, however such a project will be in competition with other needs when it comes to funding.

Top corporate sales trainer offers new insights into the mystery of selling ing a combination of storytelling and empathetic listening.” We interviewed the 64-yearold sales guru in his Del Mar oceanview home that he built with royalties from his Solutions Selling courses that were used to train 15,000 IBM salespeople in 1995. Ironically, while growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a family of five children, Bosworth vowed he would never become a salesman. “My dad was a violent, alcoholic salesman, who never kept a job longer than three months,” he said, “so the last thing in my life that I ever wanted to be was a salesman.” The family moved from Minnesota to Pasadena, Calif., in 1959 when Bosworth was 12 — after “my dad lost another job and where my mother’s folks lived.” “After a year or two, we moved to Pomona because it was cheaper,” he said. “My mother died when I was 18 and the youngest [of my siblings] was 9. So we had a hard childhood. “It was Xerox that convinced me to try sales back in ’75 and I did really well, really quickly. It kind of changed my life.” “Of my four siblings,” he quipped, “I’m oldest, the shortest, the baldest and the richest.” Before joining Xerox in 1972,

Bosworth had served a 13-month tour of duty in Vietnam with the U.S. Army, as an ammunition truck driver. “My experience in Vietnam actually got me interested in the computer industry because they had an early IBM computer system over there that they were tearing their hair out trying to get to work and they gave it to me and I got it to work. Call it ‘good karma.’” After Vietnam, he resumed his college studies, earning a B.S. degree in marketing and business management from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona where he was recruited on campus
by Xerox Computer Services as an application support technician. When Xerox later offered him a job in sales, he was reluctant, but agreed only after Xerox assured him in writing that he could return to his tech job with its higher salary if he didn’t like selling with its lower base starting salary plus commission. He rapidly became the top new business salesperson in 1975; was made a sales trainer in 1976; managed the “Branch of the Year” in 1979; and was promoted to national sales manager of field sales in 1980. The first thing he was told as a sales trainer was: ‘Mike, you can’t teach rapport. We can teach them to close, to handle objections, to write proposals, and do great presentations, but you can’t teach people to connect. That’s chemistry and the chemistry between every two people is unique.’ “But, in 2008,” Bosworth said, “my partner and I finally figured out that we can teach rapport.” Bosworth’s eureka moment came after a friend of his who was into brain science showed him what really happens inside the human brain “when you meet somebody and you decide that you trust them”; after his exposure to another man who tried without success
to convince sales training companies that they ought to teach storytelling as a way of connecting; and when he discovered a change in the universally-accepted belief that 80 percent of sales are produced by 20 percent of sales personnel. “While I was working at Xerox, in 1979, Xerox ran the numbers that showed that 20 percent of the sales reps were bringing in 80 percent of the business, creating the 80/20 rule. In 2008, a company called Sales Benchmark Index, showed us that it actually had gotten worse over the years, changing the accepted rule from 80/20 to 87/13 — with 13 percent of the salespeople bringing in 87 percent of the business. “When I went into my own sales training business in 1983,” he said, “my mission was to help the bottom 80 percent. So, it was kind of disconcerting to me, after 37 years, to realize I had helped the top people get even better, and there was now an even a greater disparity between the best and the worst.” Part of the problem, Bosworth contends, was that top management often promoted their top sales reps to sales managers, in the hope that they could transfer their SEE SALES, PAGE 7

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN In the tough, competitive arena of corporate selling, Mike Bosworth made a lot of money as a top sales rep, a top sales manager, a top sales trainer, and author of two highly influential best-selling books on sales training, but, he realizes he didn’t quite get it right. And now, he’s correcting that through a major transformation in how he trains people to sell and with his latest book, “What Great Salespeople Do: The Science of Selling Through Emotional Connection and the Power of Story,” (McGraw-Hill). He is, in fact, challenging the widely-held belief that selling is an innate talent that really can’t be taught. ‘You’ve either got it or you don’t.’ Wrong, he insists. It can be taught and he is determined to prove it. His first two books — “Solution Selling: Creating Buyers in Difficult Selling Markets” (McGrawHill, 1993) and, ”Customer Centric Selling” (McGraw-Hill, 2003) — dealt with two aspects of selling, envisioning and managing the sale, in the niche market of corporate sales. His latest book, Bosworth said, co-authored with his partner, veteran sales executive Ben Zoldan, “is for everyone selling anything — us-

cause of its added services, diversion and jobs. Fuchs said the project, which would have a “main street” corridor lined with shops, includes a proposed 536,000 square feet of office space and 270,000 square feet of retail space. By comparison, the Del Mar Highlands Town Center contains 278,000 square feet of retail space. “This additional retail represents 43 percent more retail space than currently exists in Carmel Valley north of Highway 56,” he said. Fuchs said the project is estimated to generate about 5,700 trips per day, and will be located in a 10-story and an eight-story building with some office over retail. Additionally, 608 residential units, a hotel, structured parking and possibly a convention center are part of the proposed plan, Fuchs said. Fuchs pointed out the possibility of increased traffic, which would be added to existing traffic from the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Torrey Pines High School. He said One Paseo might not only undermine Del Mar’s downtown revitalization plan, but it could “seriously degrade ingress and egress to and from both Carmel Valley and Del Mar.” Meanwhile, the sales tax revenues from the project will only be benefitting San Diego to the extent that it
draws sales from neighboring jurisdictions, he said. Representatives from both Kilroy and Atlantis Group, a land-use consulting firm, were present. They did not back up the numbers presented by Fuchs, saying that environmental impact, market and traffic studies are still ongoing and no definitive numbers have been approved by the City of San Diego. Marcela Escobar, of Atlantis Group, said developers will work with the Del Mar planning department as soon as those studies are complete and more information is available. “Today you’ve heard a lot of numbers about the size of the project, average daily trips and the traffic, but the reality is that the city has not approved the final traffic study,” Escobar said. “Until then, we can’t discuss those numbers. We are hopeful that the environmental impact report (EIR) will be out for public review in the next few weeks.” She said the EIR will take into account “any and all impacts,” including effects on the local retail market. “We are very cognizant of the fact that you are undertaking a tremendous effort to update your Village Specific Plan and how important the effects of anything that could affect retail for Del Mar is,” Escobar told the council. Richard Copeland, a Carmel Valley resident since
1986, said part of the reason he moved to the area from Santa Barbara is that there was more development and infrastructure here. He said he welcomes the project, especially because it offers employment — something he said is hard to come by in Santa Barbara. He said he doesn’t want to see beautiful Del Mar end up similarly — “land of the newly wed and nearly dead,” he said. Steve Scott, a Solana Beach resident who has worked for Kilroy for more than 13 years, said that he “agrees to disagree” with much of the information presented in Fuchs’ presentation, and looks forward to presenting the One Paseo project with the community when the time is appropriate. “We believe the appropriate time is when the DEIR [draft environmental impact report] is out for public review,” he said. Del Mar Planning and Community Development Director Kathy Garcia said the next step for the city will be to respond to One Paseo’s DEIR in writing to the City of San Diego, the lead agency on the project, during the public comment period. “They would respond to comments on the final EIR that would go to the City of San Diego for adoption,” said Garcia, adding that there could be “in some cases synergy and in some cases conflict.”

CONFLICT continued from page 1 the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which operates the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds, Chino noted that he was concerned a proposed series of meetings between a state official and board members would be held in private. The emails were contained in the agenda packet for Tuesday’s meeting. However, an email from Chino, which may have been inadvertently sent to other district officials, caused board members to question whether Chino has a conflict of interest due to his relationship with North County attorney Dwight Worden. “Dwight, Her coming down, irritates me and makes me think about your more aggressive approach,” said the email, which was signed “Tom.” Agricultural district officials said Tuesday that Worden’s former law firm, Worden Williams, is representing the opposing side in a lawsuit over the district’s environmental impact report for its master plan update. Deputy Attorney General Deborah Fletcher, who represents the agricultural district, told the board that Worden should have filed a “written waiver of potential conflict,” because of his relationship with Chino, a board member for the district, which is being sued. Fletcher told the board that she is “quite angry” about the potential conflict. “I find it quite disturbing any law firm would advise any board member on their duties when they are repre-
senting an adverse party,” Fletcher said. “I’m concerned about a potential conflict,” Frederick Schenk, another of the five new board members, said after the meeting. “The email suggests they’re having conversations on issues related to the DAA.” Schenk, who is also an attorney, said during the meeting he would be concerned that things discussed in closed session could be divulged to the opposing side in a lawsuit, and he sought Chino’s assurance that would not be the case. Chino said Worden is a long-time friend and his personal attorney, but that he never discusses any litigation or confidential issues with his friend, only public policy issues. In an interview after the meeting, Chino said, “We never discuss anything that was in executive session. I seek his advice on policy issues but nothing to do with litigation or employees.” Worden, who sat in the audience during the meeting but did not speak, said afterward, “They’re trying to manufacture a conflict of interest that doesn’t exist.” Worden said he remains “of counsel” to the law firm, but hasn’t actively practiced for 10 years, and has never discussed the environmental lawsuit against the district either with Chino or his former law colleagues. “I have not been involved in the lawsuit in any way.” Therefore, Worden said, he is not required to make a written notification of the potential conflict. Both Worden and Chino said the “more aggressive approach” mentioned
in Chino’s email referred to bringing a policy before the board that would require all meetings with state and federal officials, along with all board committee meetings, be held in public. Under state law, all meetings involving three or more fair board members must be held in public, but meetings of two board members can take place in private. During the discussion of Chino’s proposal, board members said they were concerned it could hamper their work, because it might preclude such things as an informal chat between two board members after a meeting, or a trip by board members to meet with officials in Sacramento or Washington, D.C. Chino’s original concern stemmed from a request by Rebecca Desmond of the state Division of Fairs and Expositions, who proposed meeting individually with new board members to provide an orientation. Chino said he believed such meetings should be held in public, so that members of the public could ask questions along with board members. Board member David Watson, who serves on a recently formed transparency committee with board member Lisa Barkett, said he would prefer to let the new committee do its work to promote openness at the district. After the board’s discussion, Chino offered a motion to adopt his openmeeting proposal, but it died for lack of a second.

skills to the rest of the team. Very often, these top sales reps bombed as sales managers “because they did not really understand what they were doing right, and therefore were unable to teach their successful methods to others…Most sales training suffered from the same limitation.” “In 2008,” Bosworth said, “my partner and I realized that the truly superior salespeople do three things extremely well: They are masters of their products and can envision you using their product. They’re good at managing a complex sale, with multiple people, committees, financial approvers and such. And the third thing they are really good at is connecting with strangers.” At a basic level, the top reps were selling intuitively, he said. “They had a better sense of the customer and were better able to connect with the customer’s emotions about purchasing… through a skill that not only wasn’t taught in sales training, but which has been largely ignored in the business world: storytelling.” Storytelling, Bosworth says, appeals to the right side of the brain, “the emotional brain, where you trust and you say, ‘I want that’ and ‘I need that’. “The brain science is really interesting because most corporations are arming their salespeople with all the information to fill the left brain needs of their [potential] buyers — all the facts and figures — but all that information doesn’t influence a buyer to change [i.e. to buy].
“The human brain, in fact, is wired specifically so that stories, and storytelling, have a much stronger emotional impact than information that’s presented quantitatively” and often results in “paralysis by analysis.” Bosworth acknowledged he was one of those salesmen who intuitively knew how to influence others, connect with strangers and build trust, “but we didn’t figure out how to teach it to people until 2008.” Does he have any proof that rapport can be taught? “Well, it’s early,” he admitted, “but we’ve been doing the StoryLeaders training course for two years and building it. We’ve trained 125 Oracle salespeople so far, and it has been pretty amazing. They used to go out with a PowerPoint presentation of 200 slides with about 15 bullets per slide, and now they go out with 10 picture slides and tell the story of their product. “So far it’s been just me and my partner doing the [StoryLeaders] training but now that the book is out, we are going to build a channel of independent trainers. “My biggest hope, with this new book, is that we are going to get more new businesses to start because there’s a whole bunch of latent entrepreneurs out there….but the thing that keeps them from stepping out and starting their own business is a fear of selling. “My hope is that every latent entrepreneur will read our book and say, ‘You know, I can do this now.’ And that will help the economy because all those new jobs we need are going to come from people starting businesses.”

The Reality of Extreme Weather, Part 1 Editor’s note: This report is the first in a two-part series chronicling recent findings about climate change. Part 2, to be published in our Jan. 19 issue, examines “What Can Be Done.� Gov. Jerry Brown requested the Scripps Institution of Oceanography meeting as part of a series of events focusing on climate change that the State of California is undertaking over the next several months with the goal of guiding contingency plans for extreme-weather disaster response.
BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN It’s not your imagination. Weather is becoming more “extreme,� leading to prolonged heat waves, heavier precipitation, severe flooding, more powerful hurricanes, and intense snowstorms. In the past 31 years, the United States has sustained 112 weather-related disasters in which damage costs reached or exceeded $1 billion, according to the National Climate Data Center. “Sixteen of those 112 events occurred in California,� said Tony Haymet, director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at UCSD, during a Dec. 13 public forum on “Vulnerability and Adaptation to Extreme Events in California in the Context of a Changing Climate.� A dozen of the country’s leading climate researchers presented new findings on the coastal impact of sea level rise, affects of extreme events on agri-

of the largest storm extremes in California. In 2009, an atmospheric river made landfall in California depositing 15 inches of rain and resulting in flooding in the Coastal Ranges. Projections indicate that the wettest ARs should become wetter and more frequent bringing with them higher risks of flood hazards in the Southwest; a trend increasing dramatically in the changing climate of the 21st century. “We hope that the workshop will foster the growing partnership between scientists and decision-makers,� said Cayan, “and will heighten the resolve of the public to reduce the impacts of severe weather and environmental conditions that are driven by climate variability and climate change.� Note: PDFs from the individual presentations are available at http://sio.ucsd. edu/extreme_climate. Workshop videos will be posted in early January. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Karl Okolotowicz of HBRI shows students how to enjoy their successful experimental results. Bottom Right. Del Mar Pines students decipher a DNA code problem. Bottom Left. Ms. Erica Manthe of Del Mar Pines oversees some students doing chromatography experiments.
Fifth Grade Science Day 2011 at The Human BioMolecular Research Institute Have you ever observed live mammalian cells, dissected heart tissue, ran a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate and did DNA testing and decoding all in one day? TLC could stand for tender loving chromatography and that is what the students learned. That and more were the topics covered at the recent Human BioMolecular Research Institute/Del Mar Pines Fifth Grade Science Day 2011. The day started with breaking into small groups and moving to each science station. There, students had hands on experience with cell biology, tissue morphology, chemistry and chromatography and DNA and molecular biology. They learned that there is more to DNA than what appears on TV shows. The DNA station included studying the composition and properties of DNA from fish sperm and everyone concluded it was quite a sticky matter. Chloe Balwin and Emily Wang were particularly enamored with the precipitation and spooling properties of DNA. What was astounding to the students was the fact that their DNA is 99% identical to a DNA from a monkey. This explains why the Fifth Grade teacher, Ms. Manthe, periodically asked students to stop monkeying around once in a while!!! At one point Samy Hamdy asked why we had only DNA studies and didn’t have any experiments with RNA. When told it was less stable than DNA, he nodded that yes, that made sense. The cell biology station was a rare treat. David Vapnik, Hannah Hastings and Kaan Ulpinar were intrigued by the microscope they used. Drew Hemerick, Josh Lin and Sam McGuire noticed how some of the cells were undergoing mitosis. Bella Monetparte and Keona Lee were very impressed by the beauty of the cells and the organization of the cells. Some of what was observed under the microscope was also discussed in a brief
video that accompanied the demonstration. Sofia Keyes, Kate Bolithio and Ava Janese enjoyed both the video and the cells on display. As Bennett Prag and Camden Rider noted right away, the tissue dissection work were hands-on experiments on the topics that were to be studied in class on the digestive system. Kyle Scott took a keen interest in some heart and lung tissue that he worked on. Mario Carazo and David Cera marveled at the complexity of the kidney. Scott Geier, Alexander Vitenson and Danica Du got a close-up view of the organization of liver. Speaking of digestion, the most important part of the day was served up to hungry students that had selected some great sandwiches or salads. It was judged that the ladies tables were just slightly more mannered than the gentlemen’s tables. But all the students dominated the science question and answer period that came after lunch. Students were reveled by Samy Hamdy and his knowledge of the Periodic Chart. Lots of interesting topics were discussed including the brain, heart and cancer disease research that goes on at the Human BioMolecular Research Institute. At the Human BioMolecular Research Institute diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and cardiovascular disease and cancer are studied. Basic biology of the diseases are studied and medications are developed to ultimately help people. The students had a terrific hands-on opportunity to learn about biology and much of this is relevant to the course material presented in class. The students adjourned with a fuller appreciation of how laboratory research is done and an invitation to come back and talk science to us any time!

Keep Talking, We’re Listening One Paseo is the result of hundreds of conversations with our Carmel Valley neighbors. We heard that as the last piece of the Community Plan, you wanted a place to gather – a Main Street with restaurants, shops, movies and a specialty grocery store with great parking. For a Main Street to work, there needs to be a synergy of people living and working there. So we hired the nation’s best planners and designers to create something special. Our plan for One Paseo is just that: a special place. Yet we’re not done listening. As the City completes the environmental review next year, we want to continue the conversation with you. Please join us for a series of informal small group meetings. To sign up for a meeting, visit onepaseo.com .

Coast to Crest Trail project approved BY JOE TASH The 22nd District Agricultural Association board, which oversees both the Del Mar Fairgrounds and the Horse Park to the east of Interstate 5, has approved a project that will clear the way for a segment of the Coast to Crest Trail to be built through the Horse Park property. The board voted unanimously at its Jan. 10 meeting to authorize the reconfiguration of turf rings at the Horse Park which are used for horse shows. The project will open up space along the San Dieguito River, where a half-mile section of trail will run through the property. Work on the reconfiguration will begin
Asaf and Yamia Benhaim, Carmel Valley residents and founders of the company iMatrix, stand in front of a utility box painted of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
CV residents’ company pays tribute to tech leaders Internet Matrix, Inc. (iMatrix), a local web marketing company founded by Carmel Valley residents Yamia and Asaf Benhaim, recently completed a beautification project to commemorate innovators in the internet and technology industry. Dubbed iMonument, iMatrix employees painted 13 electrical boxes surrounding the company’s office in Sorrento Valley with the likenesses of high-tech, bio-tech, and IT innovators, such as Irwin Jacobs, Douglas Engelbart, Dennis Ritchie, and, of course, Steve Jobs. “iMatrix is proud to be in close quarters with such tech industry leaders as Qualcomm, Motorola, and Gen Probe. iMonument is our way of paying tribute to those great minds who have paved the road for us in this industry,” said Asaf Benhaim.
in the fall to minimize disruption of equestrian events this summer. The San Dieguito River Park joint powers authority has already begun work on a segment of the trail to the west of the turf rings, said Susan Carter, deputy director of the JPA. When completed, the Coast to Crest trail will run about 55 miles from Julian to the beach at Del Mar. Currently, some 35 miles of the trail have been completed, Carter said. The Horse Park segment of the trail will be constructed with a $350,000 state grant. A portion of the 22nd DAA’s cost of reconfiguring the turf rings will be reimbursed from the grant proceeds, Carter said.
22nd Ag. board officers elected BY JOE TASH Members of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board elected Adam Day and Frederick Schenk as president and vice president for 2012 at their meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10. Day was appointed to the agricultural board in 2008 and his four-year term expires this Sunday, Jan. 15. Schenk was one of five new members appointed to the board in August by Gov. Jerry Brown. As of this Sunday, the terms of three members of the nine-member panel will
have expired: Day, Russ Penniman and Ruben Barrales. Penniman’s term expired in January 2010 and Barrales’ will expire on Sunday. Director Michael Alpert recently stepped down from the panel, meaning that Brown will soon have the option of appointing up to four new members to the board. Day said he has applied for a new fouryear term, and does not know when the governor is expected to make new appointments.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Emeritus at Carmel Valley provides home-like, long-term care for seniors BY KAREN BILLING Emeritus at Carmel Valley specializes in making smooth transitions into senior housing and ensuring that the community really feels like home to its residents. The facility has been in Carmel Valley for 13 years, and is what executive director Rudy Littlefield calls “Carmel Valley’s best-kept secret.” Previously called Brighton Gardens, the home was renamed Emeritus in December 2008. The Emeritus company — its name means “retire with honors” in Latin — is the largest provider of long-term care in the country, with 489 communities nationwide. “Our company motto is ‘Our family is committed to yours’,” said Littlefield. “We think what sets us apart is that it’s really a family-oriented place and our community is lifeenriching, very engaging and very active for the most part.” The Carmel Valley facility has 90 independent living/assisted living apartments, 24 apartments in memory care, and can accommodate 45 skilled nursing patients. Emeritus provides independent living, assisted living, secured memory care and skilled nursing. In its skilled nursing program (which caters to patients post stroke, post-surgery, post-knee and hip replacements, cardiac rehab and others), the outcomes have been “spectacular” as of late, with residents arriving on a gurney safely walking in fewer than 30 days. The goal at Emeritus is to keep residents strong through rehab, get them home and keep them home, said Karen Cannon, community relations director, not continually going through a cycle of hospital, care facility and home. The community also has a full-service salon, restaurantstyle dining and a very busy activities program with shopping excursions, trips to the casino, sporting events and any other activity residents may have an interest in. Transportation services are provided for residents, pets are allowed and nurses are on staff 24 hours a day, an addi-

tional service that other communities don’t provide. “The goal is to truly enrich the lives of those who choose to reside with us,” Littlefield said. Emeritus is a very social environment, Littlefield said. They even have a Resident’s Council that plans events and activities, such as card games, and welcomes newcomers— the residents’ most recent effort is a food drive for San Diego Food Bank, encouraging donations at the facility through Jan. 20. “A big part of what our population looks forward to is improved social activities,” Littlefield said. “They think they will lose that when they go into senior housing but they don’t have to with a well-planned program. We really provide opportunities for residents to get out and live in the world and come home to the safety of our community.” Littlefield has been working as a nursing home administrator since 1995. He chose to focus on nursing, dementia care and assisted living after his experience with his own grandmother. He wanted to find better solutions for her care — when he started out the industry had a bad reputation and people like him have worked hard to create a culture change and improve the quality of care for seniors. Reputations don’t get much better than Emeritus, Littlefield said. “We have a reputation for excellent quality, nearly all of our facilities are four or five star rated, including ours,” Littlefield said. “We’ve had excellent survey results.” Additionally, Emeritus Carmel Valley’s memory care division has become a program model for all other facilities with the support and services they provide. Emeritus currently has openings in assisted living and a wait list for its memory care neighborhood. For more information, visit www.emeritus.com or call (858) 259-2222.

The sad little secret
BY MUFFY WALKER MSN, MBA I was 11 when my grandfather died. I remember my mother showing up at school and me getting excused from classes early. In my young, innocent mind I thought she was quite possibly going to surprise me with an Easter break trip to Florida. Her eyes were ringed in red and her mood was not suggestive of a vacation on the beach. She explained little as we drove home, except to tell me my grandfather, her daddy, had died of a heart attack earlier that day. She and my father were going to Boston for the funeral and my brother, sister and I would have to stay home with a sitter. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I learned the truth. My grandfather, Ampa we called him, had gone down to his basement and shot himself. I am now married and have three wonderful children. All of my children know about my grandfather’s suicide, my grandmother’s shock treatments, my father, brother, brotherin-law and mother-in-law’s alcoholism. They know that when my parents divorced I kept vigil over my mother for fear she would follow in her father’s footsteps. They know that I take an anti-depressant to help with menopause. My youngest son has bipolar disorder, and they know that it is a genetic biochemical brain illness that carries with it a 20 percent risk of suicide. In the last two months, I have personally known of FIVE suicides, only one of which was, fortunately, not successful. In all but one, the attempt and completed deaths were kept a secret. Funerals were private, visits halted, phone calls not returned, obituaries never written. This is not a judgment on how others deal with illness or death, but rather a plea to help break the stigma associated with mental illness. Mental illnesses are no different from “body” illnesses, they simply affect the brain, another organ in the human body. “I had no idea” I heard, “he was always such a nice
boy.” The secrecy of mental illness not only perpetuates the devastating and destructive effects from stigma, but becomes a barrier to care, an obstacle to reaching out for help, telling someone how you are feeling. While there are many reasons for the discrepancies in help-seeking behavior, stigma can prevent people from receiving the help that they need. Individuals with a mental health disorder may feel similarly ostracized and feel embarrassed about having a psychological or emotional problem. (1) This barrier to seeking help can have a ripple effect. Some individuals may attempt to handle their “mental health issue” through drugs or alcohol, both of which only exacerbate the illness by increasing the feelings of sadness and despondency. Left untreated, the illness only gets worse, causing more isolation, emotional pain, and distress. In some cases, suicide may seem to be the only option. The stigma impedes recovery by eroding individuals’ social status, social network, and self- esteem, all of which contribute to poor outcomes, including unemployment, isolation, delayed treatment-seeking, treatment-refractory symptoms, prolonged course, and avoidable hospitalizations. (2) The downward spiraling behavior impacts everyone. The family member, friend or boss who is not privy to the person’s illness, may misinterpret behaviors, once again wrongly judging them. If there is no shame or fear of rejection, then we not only can ask for help, but we can offer help and open up the dialogue without fear of embarrassing someone. “ I saw her crying at the market, but I didn’t think it was my place to ask.” Why not? If a child was bleeding or an old man fainted, would you rush to their aid? When your neighbor’s child is diagnosed with cancer or your co-worker with Multiple Sclerosis, do you send cards, flowers, arrange dinner delivery and offer prayers? Of course you do. Why then do we re-
main silent, perpetuating the sad little secret of mental illness? Stigmatizing others has been around for centuries. Criminals, slaves, or traitors had a tattoo mark that was cut or burned into their skin in order to visibly identify them as blemished or morally polluted persons. These individuals were to be avoided or shunned, particularly in public places (1). Separating and judging groups by color, religion, sexual orientation, medical conditions (i.e. leprosy), and mental ability functions to establish an “us’ versus “them.” Discrimination, rejection, intolerance, inequity and exclusion all result from being stigmatized. It is sometimes easy to forget that our brain, like all of our other organs, is vulnerable to disease. People with mental disorders often exhibit many types of behaviors such as extreme sadness and irritability, and in more severe cases, they may also suffer from hallucinations and total withdrawal. Instead of receiving compassion and acceptance, people with mental disorders may experience hostility, discrimination, and stigma. (3) Stigma, although powerful, does not have to be inevitable. “Speak Up, Speak Out, Help Someone in Need.” The International Bipolar Foundation is a not-forprofit organization whose mission is to eradicate stigma through the advancement of research; to promote and enhance care and support services; and to erase stigma through public education.

Community should have input on future plans for polo fields We read with interest the article on the expiration of the Polo Club lease published in the Carmel Valley News Jan. 5. As a resident of the community adjoining the polo fields, what happens to the polo fields is of vital interest to us. Presently some activities taking place on these fields have a serious negative impact on our community and are apparently in violation of the lease between the Polo Club and the City of San Diego and perhaps the deed granted by Watts Industries to the City of San Diego. These apparent violations include misuse of the property, excessive automobile traffic and parking, noise, and unauthorized tournaments. In addition we are also concerned about environmental damage to the San Dieguito River Park. In view of this, the community must have a strong voice in any future plans for the use of this property by the City of San Diego. Your article indicates that the City plans are unclear at this time. We hope the City will be open and communicative as this process unveils. We think America’s finest city should be thinking about the quality of life of its citizens and not money.

Traffic is the elephant in One Paseo/Main Street’s room
It amazes me that Kilroy Realty’s clever promotional campaign for its proposed One Paseo project is able to carry any weight while completely avoiding the TRAFFIC ELEPHANT in the room. They promise new restaurants, shops and a community gathering place with people relaxing in the sun with hardly a car in sight. However, when asked about traffic, they say that they can’t talk about it because the traffic study has not yet been approved by the City, but traffic issues will eventually be addressed. They say that they might be able to spend millions of dollars fixing existing problems, such as synchronizing traffic lights on Del Mar Heights Rd. Of course, they don’t mention their increased project will generate more traffic than Del Mar Heights Rd. can accommodate or requires two more traffic signals between Del Mar Heights Rd. and High Bluff Dr., or how having synchronized lights just brings one more quickly to a stopping point as increased traffic on Del Mar Heights Rd. attempts to access the already congested I-5 metering ramps. They are asking people to support their project without even beginning to address the most obvious problem, which is how much worse will the nearly 4X increase in commercial and residential building increase than their current zoning allows affect the already impacted traffic situation. When opponents estimate the traffic increase, Kilroy’s only response is that it’s an exaggeration. So what can be known about traffic along Del Mar Heights Rd. without the benefit of an updated traffic study? SANDAG’s published 2010 traffic count was 48,600 auto trips per day between I-5 and High Bluff Dr. The San Diego Trip Generation Manual classifies a 6-lane prime arterial road with 55,000 trips per day as a Level of Service D (LOS D), the lowest level of service considered acceptable in San Diego. At approximately 62,000 trips per day, such an arterial would be classified as LOS F, or completely unacceptable level of service impacting the main ingress/egress point into Carmel Valley. It’s important to recognize that in early 2010, due to the recession, there was nearly 400,000 square feet of vacant office space in the High Bluff corridor, which, when filled, will generate an estimated 4,800 trips per day. Kilroy currently has the entitled right to build 600,000 square feet of office space on its property, which, when completed and occupied, would add approximately 7,200 trips per day. If one assumes that 60 percent of these trips would use the road segment between High Bluff Dr. and I-5, then the traffic there would increase by 7,200 trips per day, which would bring Del Mar Heights Rd. to around 55,800 trips per day, or down to LOS D. One must recognize that the Del Mar Highlands Town See TRAFFIC, page 19
Carmel Valley News
TRAFFIC continued from page 18 Center already has the entitled right to add an additional 150,000 square feet of retail space to its existing center, which would likely generate an additional 7,350 new trips per day according to the manual. Assuming that 50 percent of that traffic would come from the I-5 direction of Del Mar Heights Rd., creating nearly a LOS E. So, the additional entitlement being proposed by the developer-namely 36,000 square feet of office, 270,000 square feet of retail (similar in size to the Del Mar Highlands Town Center), a 150 room hotel and 608 residential units-would likely generate between 19,000 to 21,000 additional trips per day, which could easily add 12,000 trips per day to the already impacted road segment and be well below LOS F standards, meaning a totally unacceptable situation on Del Mar Heights Rd. There are several other factors that go into judging traffic impacts, namely how efficiently signalized intersections and metering ramps to freeways function. Anyone leaving the High Bluff office corridor in the PM peak traffic time knows that the 1,200 foot distance from High Bluff Dr. to the northbound I-5 metering ramp is insufficient to allow the cars waiting to enter westbound
Del Mar Heights Rd. in one traffic signal cycle because of the stacking of cars from the previous green light along Del Mar Heights Rd. Now, consider what the impact will be when a new traffic signal is installed at the west entrance to the proposed One Paseo project, which is only 500 feet from High Bluff Dr. Using the thought process from above, the One Paseo would generate traffic towards I-5 that is 50 percent greater than what is currently experienced on High Bluff Dr., suggesting that the location of this traffic signal will create complications much greater than what is now experienced at High Bluff Dr. There are still other ways to look at the traffic impact that might happen. For example, most of us are familiar with the increase in traffic during the San Diego County Fair, when people park at Torrey Pines High School to take shuttle buses to and from the Fair. The parking capacity at TPHS is just under 800 spaces. The parking capacity at the proposed One Paseo project is just under 4,100 parking spaces, or more than 5X as much. The obvious conclusion to be drawn is that the traffic throughout the year will be much worse than what is currently experienced during the Fair. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that the potential for a totally unac-
ceptable level of traffic from the increase in entitlement being sought for the One Paseo site is very real. The developer can be expected to say that these numbers are grossly exaggerated. But if that is the case, why not come forward with their traffic estimates? Who cares whether their estimates are not quite finalized, or haven’t yet been approved by the City? Do you really believe that the developer doesn’t know what the likely traffic impacts are? At the very least, it will open up a meaningful community discussion about what might be an acceptable amount of additional traffic impact to allow in exchange for the promised benefits of the new project? Of course, that is precisely what the developer wants to avoid, and why, when repeatedly asked by the City Planning Department to provide a traffic study early in the review process, it has provided it at the very end of the process — which is currently estimated to be finished in late January or early February 2012. In the meantime, Kilroy continues to keep trying to drum up support with pretty pictures, vague promises, and a total avoidance of facts-especially the TRAFFIC ELEPHANT in the room. William C.

Help put out the fire of childhood hunger Did you know that over 50 million Americans are struggling with food insecurity? Or that 17.2 million of those Americans are children? This problem is a very large fire and it’s going to need a lot of water to be put out. Child hunger is a serious matter because thousands of children have died from it, or have been very close. Most people assume all of the starving people are in Africa, it’s true that a lot of people are hungry there, but it’s the same with the rest of the world, just not as significant as Africa’s problem. There are millions of kids going to school and coming back from school hungry. For example, a girl named Katherine Foronda, interviewed by ABC news, has trained herself not to eat until the end of the day. It’s hard for her not to focus on how hungry she is, which makes her do horrible in school. One in four children in America are food insecure, this means America’s future is going to have one-fourth less smart people, and the numbers are still on the rise. People all over the country are taking part in food banks or donating food/money to organizations like the American Red Cross. There’s a food bank close to where I live at Episcopal Church. In the last couple years it has gone viral, serving over 400 people every evening! This is a great example to the people in the community who thought that hunger was far away from them, when really, it’s all around us. I’ve only just started to notice how many people are on the street hungry, once we started learning about it in school. It was always right there in my blind spot, I’ve just never turned around to face it, until now. There are many ways that you can help. You can donate, or you can even tell others about the problem. However, you can’t just sit around and ignore this letter. You have the power to help stop the growing issue. Everybody does, they just need to know it. Today 50 million Americans are hungry, tomorrow, I hope, none. To stop this problem, a ton more people are going to have to help out. This fire needs a lot of water to be put out. Be the water.

High school seniors advise sixth graders to stay drug-free As part of Red Ribbon Week celebrations, sixth graders from 24 elementary schools in Carlsbad, Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, and Solana Beach received a visit from successful high school seniors from the four high schools in the San Dieguito Union District who have always been alcohol, tobacco and drug-free. These teens are part of TEEN PRESENTERS, a program where high school seniors share their perceptions, experiences and answer questions to elementary and middle school students regarding alcohol, tobacco, and drug use. The program is sponsored by the San Dieguito Alliance, a community based alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention organization that provides prevention services to the San Diego County north coastal region and sponsors youth programs that engage adolescents in fighting drug and alcohol use by their peers. All high school seniors in the San Dieguito Union District received an invite in the mail to participate in the TEEN PRESENTERS program. Each year over 100 seniors volunteer for the TEEN PRESENTERS program. The ethnically diverse teens are trained to present in a panel format regarding their choice to be alcohol, tobacco and drug free. The seniors explain why they made the choice to remain alcohol, tobacco and drug free and how it has contributed to their success in accomplishing their goals. As part of the presentation, the seniors challenge the younger students to remain alcohol, tobacco and drug free throughout their high
school years. Many of the teens are returning to present at their elementary schools, where they first received the challenge to be alcohol, tobacco and drug-free. Hayley, a TEEN PRESENTER and senior at La Costa Canyon High School, made a commitment early in her life not to drink, especially after seeing how it affected her family, as both her grandmother and aunt were alcoholics. “It’s been so great to be able get the word out to younger kids and tell them how it‘s not cool to do drugs and alcohol,” she said. TEEN PRESENTER Erin, a senior from Torrey Pines, shared how she remembered when the seniors came to her school. “ I love seeing the 6th graders make those decisions early to not be involved in alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.” This year marks the 20th anniversary of TEEN PRESENTERS. According to Executive Director Judi Strang, this program is becoming increasingly popular, with over 120 seniors applying this year to participate. “Youth delivered prevention messages provide a ‘credible voice’ in terms of changing myths about teen alcohol and drug use.” TEEN PRESENTERS sign a pledge that they have remained alcohol, tobacco, and drug free throughout their school years; parents and school counselors also add their signatures to the teen applications. Red Ribbon Week began after the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique “Kiki” Cam arena in 1985. In Agent Camarena’s home town, Calexico, Calif., the public outpouring of support turned in to an organized community response in which citizens wore red ribbons. Today, the Red Ribbon Week raises the awareness regarding the need for alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention.

Register now for CV Dons Spring Tackle Football Registration is now open for Spring 8-Man Tackle football. Divisions are grade base meaning that there is no weight limit and players are divided into 4 divisions consisting of a 1-2nd grade team, 3-4th grade team, 5-6th grade team, and 7-8th grade team. The regular season will consist of eight games and last from about the third week of March until the week before Memorial Day weekend. Practices will begin in mid-February and take place two times per week. Fabian Torres, the head coach of the 7-8th grade team added, “It’s developmental tackle football and is intended to complement other spring sports as some players are also playing lacrosse or baseball at the same time. In other words, unlike tackle football in the fall season, it is OK to miss a game(s) or practice due to conflicts. There will probably be some overlap between the current winter basketball, rugby, baseball, and lacrosse leagues – that’s OK too.” Team sizes will be small with a maximum team size of 16 players. Games will
be played locally here in San Diego County. There are no special teams in 8-man tackle football and games only last 50 minutes with a running clock. There are no weight limits and no playoffs, just a bunch of kids getting together with their friends and coaches and playing some tackle football. To sign up, please visit the Carmel Valley Dons website at www.cvdons.com. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football (where tomorrow’s high school football players play youth football) was formed in 2010 to create a very competitive Division 1 football program in the Carmel Valley area to prepare top athletes for high school football. The league’s home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School and is proud to wear their colors. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, they contribute much of their first year success to the support of Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola.

There will be a moment of silence at the beginning of the games, in honor of those who lives have been touched by breast cancer. The boys soccer teams from CCA will forego their traditional red and black, in favor of their new pink uniforms, to show their support for this great cause. Trophies will be awarded to both Varsity teams, with the winner holding on to the Cup until next year’s game. There promises to be some thrilling, intense soccer played between these two local rivals. Please show your support for breast cancer by attending one of the games and don’t forget to wear pink!
delayed as a new phasing plan is prepared to ensure community improvements are provided as needed. A Prop C working group was set up by District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner, including Pardee’s Fischer and representatives from all the planning boards along the SR56 corridor, including Frisco White, Manjeet Ranu and Anne Harvey from the CVCPB. The group worked on an updated public facilities phasing and financing plan, and transportation plan, finishing their work in late November. Their administrative
draft will be finalized by city staff and brought back to the planning board in February for review and recommendation to City Council. Ranu, the PHR representative for the CVCPB, has been fighting for expedited facilities in his community such as an already funded park that has no start date for the design or build process. They’re still not there yet, but Ranu remains optimistic. “Now we have some hope for a future because we’re not stuck on a ramp that’s not going to be built for years to come if not ever,” Ranu said.

tied for first place with MVLA, then ranked #1 in the nation, from N. CA for points (they tied head to head); however, MVLA won on goal differential. Next stop was the Surf Thanksgiving Tournament in San Diego. The finals at the Polo fields were a rematch of the previous weekend MVLA and DMCV! It was the sixth game in three days and one to remember as Sharks scored quickly and never let the pressure down on this quick MVLA team. The Sharks won the game 2-0. Scoring totals for the tournament 15 goals and giving up only 3. Atlanta, Ga., for the NCAA Final Four for D1 college soccer was the last stop on this journey. The team traveled to Kennesaw State University to play three games in the college showcase for college coaches.

The Sharks played well against all three teams with 3 wins and one goal scored against them. The college games were impressive as the top
four soccer teams battled for the championship. Way to go Stanford! On Christmas Day, the team woke to find their dedication and soccer skill was rewarded. Gotsoccer.com National rankings came out – Del Mar Sharks Elite is #1 in the nation! Coach Felicia Kappes beams at hearing this news. “The one thing that sticks out in my head is that the girls competed at a very high and consistent level of play for six months that culminated with an incredible run the last four weeks. Not only did we compete, we seemed to get stronger as we went along, definitely the case in the last four weeks. They were rewarded with a couple of championships and a new ranking! All their hard work through out the year paid off and they bonded on an even deeper level on and off the field because of all their wonderful experiences together.” This special Sharks team will enjoy this ranking as they play high school soccer at their respective schools. They look forward to reuniting and continuing to build on their 2011 experiences and growth as young ladies and soccer players in 2012.

as the Carmel Valley resident did when he saw the man breaking into the car. He also warned people not to leave garage door openers inside cars parked outside and to make cars less of a target for crimes of opportunity by locking car doors and not leaving items in open view.

Story of ‘Fang the Cat’ a local family affair
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KATHY DAY Dave Wolfson reads from his website about his first book as if he’s talking to the children he’s writing for: “Fang is a thoughtful cat. With his friends, Small and Bubbles, he has an adventure with the kind lady’s pottery. Fang knows just what to do when the unexpected happens.” Even without having first read “Fang the Cat,” one gets caught up in the story by the Carmel Valley resident, but reading it brings the story into full focus. “I took the ideas from real life,” he said in a recent interview. “I took pottery lessons with my mom, I had a teacher who had a cat named Fang … in real life, Small was another cat and Bubbles was our goldfish.” The tale aims to “bring out the simple pleasures we get from observing animals,” he said. A software engineer when he’s not sketching and thinking up new adventures for Fang and his friends, Wolfson works hand-in-hand with his wife Melissa, an electrical engineer by training who served as collaborator and editor and also writes poetry. He also takes hints from their 21-year-old son Mark, a pre-med student who is also a musician and composer. Fang first took shape in 1997, although thoughts of writing a children’s book entered Wolfson’s mind “a long time ago” when their son was in preschool and he read him so many Dr. Seuss and Berenstain Bear books he had some memorized. It just took a while for him to get the story out of his mind and onto paper. He’s always enjoyed doodling, he said, chuckling as he talked about going through some illustrations he did as a youngster. With Fang, though, the story came first. “When Melissa heard the story, she said, ‘Can you draw Fang?’” he said. One early version showed Fang chasing Small, his tiny
sidekick. “He had his front paws out flat, kind of cartoon-like.” In another, he said, the cat was stretching. “I thought it would be funny if he put his leg up on a pot as he stretched, Dave Wolfson and Melissa Maes-Wolfson kind of like a person.” The drawings, he said, “are pretty simple and whimsical.” Noting that Mark and Melissa both liked the look, he pressed ahead, but it wasn’t until 2003 that the first draft was finished. “Life has you busy,” he said, but he finally made the time to finish the project. Once he did, he learned that a teacher, Leslie Engel, was using “Fang” in her second-grade classes. Although targeted at kindergarten and first grade students, the book is also being used by at least one fifth grade teacher to help students understand story structure, Wolfson said. Having visited some classrooms to read “Fang” to students or to talk about the writing process, he said, he came up with the idea of adding a “circle the word” puzzle or crossword in the book. For now, the word search puzzle is online at www.inkypigpress.com, but Wolfson said he is thinking about other learning activities for future projects. Melissa was a huge help, allowing him to bounce ideas off of her and editing for details, he said. “We were careful with so many things,” from the gram-
mar and deciding whether to write in first person or third, to whether to capitalize “kind lady” or not and overall consistency. They were just as cautious in the translation to “El Gato Fang,” he added. Melissa, who is fluent in Spanish, did the translation since you can’t translate with online programs, Wolfson said. An online program would have translated the part about disciplining cats to “corporal punishment” so they instead used the word “educando” to show they meant educating cats. In the sequel, which will bring their guinea pigs – the reason the company is named Inky Pig Press – into play as Melissa takes top billing as the writer. The second story, which Wolfson hopes will be out by mid-year, will include more text as it aims for slightly older readers and will move the action into their garden. “Fang the Cat” is available in paperback at amazon.com, as a Kindle e-book and at inkypigpress.com.

Steamed Carlsbad Black Mussels with fennel, leek, and Italian salsa verde
Ocean views and a new menu delight diners at The Shores BY DANIEL K. LEW iving in paradise has its advantages and one of them is the opportunity to frequent The Shores Restaurant — a beachfront restaurant in the truest sense. Sandy beaches and waves reaching the shore are steps outside its picturesque location at La Jolla Shores Hotel. Though located inside La Jolla Shores’ Spanish-style hotel, open since 1970, the restaurant bills itself as a “neighborhood American” eatery. Comfort food is served gourmet style with local ingredients and seasonal menus by Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef de Cuisine Amy DiBiase. DiBiase joined the restaurant in late summer, and since then, she and Guillas have developed a new menu that “brings out the cuisine” at The Shores Restaurant to give the establishment its own experience, said Guillas, who is also executive chef at the acclaimed Marine Room located next door at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. A lighter and healthier approach on some of the new dishes brings out the flavor of the ingredients, said Guillas and DiBiase, who both have a love for farmers markets and keep in touch with local suppliers for seasonal crops and the latest catch. The number of items on the menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a la carte Sunday brunch have been simplified, ensuring the kitchen staff maintains consistency in preparation and presentation. For instance, the dinner menu has been reduced to seven appetizers and eight main courses, while still covering its bases. “But it’s not a small menu because we

This week: Three Citrus Cured Sea Trout with Fennel Potato Salad, Pommery Mustard, and Pomegranate Seeds PHOTOS BY DANIEL K. LEW have also created a Sip & Savor menu that changes every month, and it has been so well received,” Guillas said. Through Jan. 14, the Sip & Savor menu, called “Winter Comfort,” is a three-course dinner for $30, or $45 with wine pairing, available nightly. First-course choices are Canelli Bean Stew, Oyster Mushroom Flatbread, or Artisan Mallard Duck Prosciutto. Second-course options are Maine Lobster Pot Pie, Braised Chicken and Dumplings, or Yankee Pot Roast. Dessert is a Three Tastes Platter with Banana Bread Pudding, Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato, and Meyers Rum Caramel Sauce. In addition to the monthly Sip & Savor menu, the regular menu has retained popular items, while also adding new dishes. Among the new appetizers, Steamed Carlsbad Black Mussels (with fennel, leek and Italian salsa verde) is a top seller. “The Black Mussels are to die for; this is a really good dish. It sells like crazy for
■ The Shores’ Barbecued Short Rib with Stuffed Portobello Mushroom lunch, dinner and in the bar,” Guillas said. Upon arriving at one’s table, the heaping stack of large, local mussels appeals to the senses with its big aroma from the Italian Salsa Verde topping, made of garlic and a wide variety of fresh herbs, orange zest and extra virgin olive oil. A touch of white wine is also added to the broth. Guillas also recommends the Farmers Market Roasted Beet Salad, and Natural Beef Carpaccio. For entrees, some of the most popular items are Parsley Leek Crusted Butterfish, Aromatic Vegetable and Fish Stew, 1855 Angus New York Steak or Filet Mignon, and Oil Cured Black Olive Braised Lamb Shank. If undecided on picking an entree, the Crispy Skin Salmon (served with crème fraiche, Brussels sprouts, and pinenut Parmesan froth), is highly recommended. The salmon skin is light and crunchy; the filet is flavorful without being overpowered by its spice rub, but the pleasant surprise is
Three Tastes dessert platter with Hazelnut Pot de Crème, Gingerbread Donut, and Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream the accompanying Brussels sprouts, cooked with garlic and shallots. “Amy makes the best Brussels sprouts; when you taste them, it’s just wow,” Guillas said. DiBiase added that many guests have requested her recipe, which has changed the mind of a few who previously disliked the vegetable. “They’re cooked quickly, unlike the usual mushy kind people are used to eating,” DiBiase said. The lunch menu includes salads, burgers, sandwiches and wraps, along with five entree choices, like a gourmet macaroni and cheese, Humboldt Fog Macaroni Gratin, which some find big enough to share. Even with a new menu, the neighborhood restaurant has kept a popular sandwich named after a La Jolla Shores resident and longtime restaurant patron: Judge Harelson’s Tuna Salad Sandwich (with Boston lettuce, apples and walnuts on wheat bread). “So many people love it; that’s one of the items we could never get rid of,” Guillas said.

Local dietician launches cookbook to get ‘Little Hands’ involved in the kitchen
Interview tips and techniques for teens to be held Jan. 19 High school teens can learn how to prepare for a college interview at a seminar to be held at Canyon Crest Academy on Thursday Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. in the CCA Media Center. The seminar is hosted by Canyon Crest Academy Foundation and more information is available at www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.
Rancho Santa Fe resident Peggy Korody is the author of ‘Little Hands in the Kitchen.’ chi Bean Sprouts. “My sons used to make the fried rice for me,” Korody said. “When my oldest was in 6th grade he had to cook a meal for the class and he used the Benihana grill my motherin-law had given him and the class just loved it. It was the hit of the whole project.” Korody said Asian food is something her family eats often because it is healthy, quick and easy to put together. Her book also focuses much on the MyPlate standards set forth by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2011 and pioneered by First Lady Michelle Obama. More information on MyPlate can be found at www.choosemyplate.gov. “The pyramid thing was too confusing for people,” said Korody. “MyPlate is more visual … Half your plate should be color, a

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net When Peggy Korody’s two sons were kids, she used to take them on “grocery store field trips” to the produce department, have them each choose a vegetable they’d never tried before and then go home to prepare and eat their picks together. “It was a way to take the fear out of trying new foods,” said the registered dietician, who still incorporates fear-easing strategies into her current family nutritional coaching. “They also had their own shelf in the pantry and fridge at 18 months old, and were making their own breakfast.” Now ages 20 and 21, Korody’s boys have grown up to be healthy and independent in the kitchen, and the Rancho Santa Fe resident has published her first cookbook aimed to help other families incorporate nutritional awareness and participation into their kids’ lives. “Little Hands in the Kitchen” is now available for purchase on Amazon.com, and the author is holding a book signing and cooking class on Jan. 17 in Solana Beach to celebrate the launch. At the event, which is free with the purchase of the book ($21.50), Korody will be cooking up one of her family’s favorite meals from the book: Hibachi Chicken, Veggie Fried Rice and Hiba-
quarter starch and less than a quarter protein.” Color, she said, means a variety of fruits and vegetables. Korody, who holds a bachelor of science degree in nutrition from San Diego State University and completed a 900-hour internship through Utah State University, said her role is much different than that of a nutritionist, a title that does not always require a license and is unregulated. She specializes in cooking classes, recipe conversion (adapting meals to a client’s particular needs), diet counseling and child nutrition. “Everything I practice is based on research,” she said. “If it doesn’t have a valid study or studies behind it, I don’t do it.” She pointed to a number of diets and health practices that have less basis than commonly thought, such as eating cinnamon to lower cholesterol or going gluten-free to lose weight. “Everyone thinks all their problems are related to gluten but that’s not always true,” Korody said. “Gluten actually has health benefits … and if you go gluten-free you need to eliminate grains altogether. Manufacturers are replacing gluten with sugar and fat.” The book signing and cooking class for “Little Hands in the Kitchen” will take place at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in the “Little Yellow Cottage” at 533 Lomas Santa Fe in Solana Beach (behind the Boys and Girls Club).

Sensational cast elevates drama, humor of ‘The Lion in Winter’ BY DIANA SAENGER LET’S REVIEW North Coast Repertory Theatre’s “The Lion in Winter,” is so well-done, what’s happening in the castle of England’s Henry II in 1151 comes vividly to life on stage only moments into this intriguing and funny play, directed by Andy Barnicle. As it opens, beautiful choral music breathes life into the impressive bedroom scene, featuring regal red curtains set against large stone walls (created by NCRT’s amazing scenic designer Marty Burnett) and the audience is immediately transported. King Henry (Mark Pinter) adores his mistress Alais (Alexandra Grossi), but has not cut his ties to his wife Eleanor (Kandis Chappell) whom he has forbade to leave the castle for years. It’s Christmas time and Henry’s sons are also at court. Richard (Richard Baird), Geoffrey (Jason Maddy) and John (Kyle Roche) are present to hear from their father’s own lips who will succeed him as King. Henry has turned 50 and knows he must name his heir. As the story moves forward, he’s as wily and shifty as a snake. At one moment he’s professing his love to Alais, and the next, passionately kissing Eleanor. The three sons have no compassion for one another or their parents. Henry first announces that youngest son John is his choice to be King and to marry Alais so Henry will have her at hand. But even Henry knows that John does not measure up to his brothers. “I’m the family nothing,” John tells his mother. “Geoffrey’s smart and Richard is brave and I’m not anything,” Writer Goldman’s strategy is to show the worst in every character by revealing their bad traits, but then tilt a good side for virtuous measure. It’s a brilliant character study and this cast is exceptional at playing it out. Henry is always unpredictable and Pinter (OffBroadway, “My Sweetheart’s the Man in the Moon,” NCRT-“Becky’s New Car”) swaggers in every instinctive moment.
Queen. Madam, may you rot.” Roche (“Proof,” “One For The Road”) shows his skills as young John. He’s whiney, immature, and often makes no sense, which only ups the humor. Kyle Sorrell as King Phillip, and Grossi as Alais, hold their own in the cast. However, it’s Chappell’s Eleanor that gives Pinter a run for the title of best actor in this play. She can turn on and off the charm as quickly as she can become an observant icicle, pretending to really care about her sons, while really struggling to save her own skin. And she delivers many of the play’s funniest lines straight from the heart. When Alais is softly humming on Christmas Eve, Eleanor turns away from her and says, “No one else is caroling; it might as well be Lent.” “The Lion in Winter” is thoroughly entertaining as it conveys family situations and difficult relationships, and somehow turns those conditions around, to offer insight and humor as the final word. The show runs through Jan. 29. For tickets and more information, visit northcoastrep.org.

Baird (“Cyrano De Bergerac,” NCRT “Ghosts”) stands tall and robust with a lionhearted attitude throughout his role. His mother tries to make amends with him – the boy she favored – but he will have none of it. “You are Medea to the teeth … and old enough to die,” he tells her. Geoffrey is the middle son and ignored by both parents. Maddy (“Angels in America”) does a fine job in showing he detests them both.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT It’s hard to believe Anna Halprin is 91 years old. A postmodern dance legend, based in Marin County, she is still performing, teaching, and creating new dances, as she has for the past seven decades. This Thursday, she’ll be in San Diego to open the second annual Coming of Age Film Festival at MOPA (Museum of Photographic Arts) with “Breath Made Visible,” a documentary about her life and work by Swiss filmmaker Ruedi Gerber. Halprin’s idea of dance is all-inclusive, an expression of body, mind and spirit she calls “breath made visible.” Internationally renowned, she has made a career of challenging convention and creating revolutionary new directions for dance. “I always wanted to dance about real things, things that were real in my life,” she said. Among her real things are a deep connection to nature, a relentless search for self-knowledge, and an abiding concern for our planet’s survival. As a teenager, she studied with Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey, dancing to rebel. As a young woman,

In a scene from “Seniors Rocking,” filmed in 2005 by Ruedi Gerber, a former student of Halpern’s and director of “Breath Made Visible,” Halprin leads 69 Marin County seniors in a rocking-chair dance performance. she met and married the love of her life, Lawrence Halprin, a landscape architect who became her closest collaborator. He designed and built a large deck outside their home where she could dance with her children, encouraging improvisation, and welcoming grown-up dancers, choreographers and composers to join them, folks like Trisha Brown, Merce Cunningham and John Cage. In the 1960s, she and her dancers shed their clothing, shocking audiences, sometimes ending up under arrest. In the 1970s, discovering she had cancer; she started exploring dance as a heal-
ing art. She and her daughter, Daria, founded the Tamalpa Institute, blending movement and visual arts with psychology, and for the next decade or so, she worked with AIDS patients. In the ’90s, she began creating dance rituals to bring the world community together. By the 2000s, she was making dances that dealt with her aging body and her husband’s medical crises, including a piece called “Intensive Care: Reflections on Death and Dying.” Even in the worst times, her life force shone through. “Things don’t last forever,” she said. “You have no con-
trol over that. What you do have control of is how you cope with what happens. Art is one way of coping. It certainly is mine.” To date, Halprin has created more than 150 dancetheater works, most recently “Song of Songs,” the first in a trilogy called “Remembering Lawrence,” to honor the beloved husband she lost in 2009. On opening night of the Coming of Age festival, which offers a diverse selection of films about aging, you can meet this remarkable artist at a wine and cheese reception. Before introducing the movie, she’ll perform a new version of “Courtesan and the Crone,” a piece she originally created in Venice in 1999. Then, over the weekend, she’ll teach a dance workshop at Tango Del Rey, which will include her “Planetary Dance,” a dance for peace now being done in 46 countries around the world. “When I am 110, I’ll dance the way things really are,” she says with a smile, at the end of the movie. Don’t miss Anna Halprin, in person, and “Breath Made Visible.” At the end of the evening, you’ll dance out the door.

Museums court next generation of patrons via fun, exclusive events BY PAT SHERMAN As art organizations across the country are saddled with cutbacks and rising costs, they also must consider the graying of the audience they depend on most to attend and fund exhibitions, performances and other cultural events. According to the National Endowment for the Arts’ Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, the average age of museum attendees increased from 36 in 1982 to 43 in 2008. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), The Lux Art Institute, and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library are working to counter that trend, cultivating a new generation of patrons through groups that offer exclusive events geared to young professionals. Each group offers art lovers in the under-45 age bracket fun, enriching programs with a chance to socialize and develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts. Museum administrators trust this appreciation will awaken philanthropic leanings. A List Hoping to engage young art aficionados, Annina Torri founded the A List group at the Athenaeum in 2005. “I’ve been going to the Athenaeum for a long time,” said Torri, 39. “I always loved the openings … but I never saw a lot of young
people there. I wanted to start something with a fun environment where they could explore art and culture that would be social.” Membership in the A List, which is open to people ages 21 and older, is $75 per year and includes five to six A List music and art mixers per year, plus all the benefits of a standard Athenaeum membership. New members can get a feel for being on the A List by attending single events for $10 in advance or $12 at the door. A-List mixers are held at the La Jolla Athenaeum space on Wall Street and include live music, a small bar, hors d’oeuvres, a communal art project and door prizes. December’s event, dubbed “Rendez-vous in the Stacks,” coincided with Kathleen Marshall’s exhibition, “Still in Paris.” It included on-site portraiture sketching, Left-Bank-style refreshments, a create-yourown crepe station and a performance by acoustic trio Les Shelleys. The next A List event, March 15 at 7:30 p.m., coincides with an exhibit by illustrator and sketch artist Alexander Jackson. “As with many other arts institutions, a majority of our members are getting up there in age,” said A List co-chair and Athenaeum marketing and promotions manager, Katie Walders. “We’re trying to bring in more and younger members and show them everything
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), The Lux Art Institute, and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library are working to cultivate a new generation of patrons through groups that offer exclusive events geared to young professionals. that’s out there for art and music.” Walders said the A List currently has about 90 members who also have a chance to vote in an A List Members Choice Award during the Athenaeum’s annual juried art show. Influx In December, Lux Art Institute in Encinitas launched a similar group for people ages 21 to 39, which is free with a regular museum membership of $50. Titled “Influx,” the group is a way to encourage younger contemporary art lovers to join the museum and to encourage existing young members to engage at a deeper level.
Learning for life. The pluralistic community day school
www.sdja.com
The first event included a question and answer session with resident painter Emilio Perez, and an afterparty at Flavor Del Mar. “The 21- to 39-year-old group tends to be the lowest attendee group for museums, so it’s an opportunity to kind of rev that up and give them another opportunity for socializing, instead of going to the movies or clubs,” said Lux founding director Ressey Shaw of La Jolla. The museum plans to hold six such weeknight events per year, dubbed Lux After Dark. Avant Garde MCASD La Jolla’s group for young contemporary art enthusiasts, titled “Avant Garde,” launched a little more than a year ago from the ashes of a similar, more expansive group called StART Up. That group included art-related travel opportunities, though the dues were $2,500 per year. Jeanna Yoo, MCASD La Jolla’s chief advancement officer, saw a need to continue targeting the museum’s younger demographic, albeit at a more affordable level. Avant Garde dues are $425 per year, or $500 with a basic museum membership. The group has about 40 members. Last year Avant Garde offered events every two months, though Yoo said events will likely occur on a monthly basis in 2012, offer-
ing members more opportunities to connect with exhibiting artists and museum curators. Avant Garde members may bring one spouse, partner or friend with them at no additional cost. “It’s a couples membership,” Yoo said of the group, which targets young people ages 25 to 40-something. Events are staged at both the La Jolla and San Diego museum spaces, or out in the community, where members get a firsthand feel for the local art scene through private collection tours and visits to contemporary artists’ workspaces. “There’s a lot of young, up-and-coming contemporary artists in the San Diego area,” Yoo said. “We wanted to showcase them … in their work environment. It’s been a very popular program.” On Jan. 22, Avant Garde members will tour the collection of Matthew and Iris Strauss at their Rancho Santa Fe estate. Their library, named by Art News magazine as one of the top 200 art collections in the world, contains sculptures, paintings and other works by Frank Stella, Willem de Kooning and Andy Warhol. Yoo said she hopes the museum’s outreach will pay off in terms of future giving. “Our hope is that it’s a gradual process,” she said. “We engage them now through Avant Garde and down the road they’ll be more committed to the arts, moving up the ladder in
terms of their philanthropic involvement.” Architect Jeff Hollander and his partner, Viveca Bissonnette of Hollander Design Group, were MCASD members for years before joining Avant Garde. The couple, in their 40s, said they didn’t feel comfortable hanging out with “multimillionaire art collectors.” They found Avant Garde members shared their appreciation for art, design and culture at “a similar economic level.” As holiday thank you gifts, the couple gave 70 basic museum memberships to their clients and vendors “with the hope that they start to participate further in the museum.” “We feel like what we’ve gotten out of the museum this past year as Avant Garde members has benefited us personally and professionally, from a cultural perspective. We wanted to pass that along,” Bissonnette said.

‘Salome’ opens San Diego Opera’s 2012 season La Jolla Music San Diego Opera’s 47th international season opens Saturday, Jan. 28, with Richard Strauss’s tour de force Salome. These performances mark the return of American soprano Lise Lindstrom who was heard last season in the title role of Turandot. She is joined by the American bass-baritone Greer Grimsley, heard last season as Méphistophélès in Faust, who sings his signature role of John the Baptist. They are joined by tenor Allan Glassman as Herod. The sets and costumes of Salome are owned by the Opera Theatre of St. Louis and were adapted by San Francisco Opera. Both the sets and costumes were designed by Bruno Schwengl. The lighting designer is Chris Maravich. Salome was composed by Richard Strauss to Hedwig Lachmann’s German translation of Oscar Wilde’s play. Salome received its world premiere at Dresden’s Hofoper on December 9, 1905. These performances will mark the third time this opera has been performed with the Company with other performances in 1998 and 1967. For more information, visit www.sdopera.com

Generous Jackets 2nd Annual Drive a huge success Generous Jackets’ 2nd Annual Drive took place on Wednesday, Dec. 14. The Leadership Project founded by Class of 2014 members, Allie Negroni, Jacqueline Putegnat, Laura Detrow and Madison Smith of the National Charity League, San Dieguito Chapter, was a huge success. The girls were able to distribute dozens of donated jackets, sweatshirts and coats to needy homeless men, women and children in downtown San Diego. The demand for warm clothing was so great that the homeless population was lining up within minutes of their arrival downtown. The recipients were so appreciative to have the warm clothing to help thwart the freezing cold temperatures experienced during the last few weeks in this area. The girls were shocked that the jackets were literally distributed within minutes and the need so great. “It’s easy to forget in our busy teenage lives that people are desperate for necessities.” The girls would like to initiate another jacket drive immediately to service the needs of San Diego’s homeless community. The girls spoke with some of the homeless population downtown and they expressed a need for blankets, socks, and sleeping bags in addition to any warm clothing. If you would like to donate any items, please contact Generous Jackets at dnegroni@san.rr.com and the NCL girls can pick up your donations.

Comb for bees this weekend at Honeyfest San Diego The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN About every third mouthful of food that we savor we owe a debt of gratitude to the hard-working honey bees. And if we want to continue enjoying their bounty, we’d better become their Galahads now that danger to their existence is lurking in the environment. The Herculean pollinating powers of our black and yellow buddies produce more than $15 billion of U.S. crops every year. This weekend’s celebration of honey bees is already causing a buzz
around town with Honeyfest San Diego activities hosted by a multitude of venues: The Red Sea Restaurant — Ethiopian Dinner with Honey Mead Wine and a screening of “Vanishing of the Bees;” The Peace Resource Center of San Diego — workshops on the Introduction to Beekeeping and Honey and Herbs Cough Syrup; The Prosperity Hive – an UnBEElievable Hive Anniversary and Fundraising Party with music, sweet plates and honey tasting; and Casa del Prado, Balboa Park — Salve demonstration, BEE in the Know Festival and Vendors Bazaar, and What’s BEEyond Panel Discussion. Honeyfest San Diego, which runs Jan. 13-14 in Balboa Park, is the first festival of its kind in America’s finest city to “promote awareness
of the complex and vital relationship between bees and humans by exploring the benefits of bee products, the art of beekeeping, and the issues around environmental risks to bee populations.” For additional information, contact Amy Lint at 760936-7756, honeyfest@growstrong.org. Even though bees can be pesky critters, party crashers at picnics and other outdoor events, they keep the agricultural sector of our economy humming and our tables bountiful with everything from apples, oranges, lemons, limes, blueberries and cherries to cantaloupe melons, cucumbers, broccoli, onions, almonds, avocadoes and Halloween’s mighty pumpkin.

Other healthful bee products include, antiviral and antibacterial bee pollen to fight assorted seasonal allergies, antioxidant-loaded royal jelly and honey wine or mead, which was the first alcoholic drink ever brewed, even older than wine or beer. Sadly our sweet friends are vanishing into thin air — 25 percent of the U.S. honey bee population has buzzed off the planet since 1990. Before this shrinkage really starts to sting our food supply we need to get a grip on this bizarre phenomenon aka Colony Collapse Disorder. Researchers speculate that it’s a combo of factors including global warming which tinkers with the seasonal blooming of flowers; pesticides used on crops to kill bugs might now be killing bees as these toxins have been found in the hives along with genetically modified organisms (Frankenstein crops); loss of habitat by urban development and abandoned farms; predators like harmful parasites, and perhaps even the bombardment of cell phone signals in the air that

confuses bees so they can’t find their way home. So our global community needs to protect our precious bees by using organic and other sustainable practices, maintaining wild habitats with crops that are pollinationworthy and cut back on cell phone usage (yah, right, fat chance). California is a honey bee-dependent state requiring pollination for roughly130 crops, especially the lucrative almond industry. This $2.3 billion crop has been severely threatened by the bee shortage so much that beekeepers from around the nation have been making hive calls, renting their bees to nut growers in this state. And imported bees don’t come cheap, ergo the recent sticker shock for almonds and other crops. Ending on a sweet note, we’ll pay homage to the honey bee with my family’s favorite recipe for honey apricot chicken.

Dr. Temple Grandin makes memorable visit to The Winston School Dr. Temple Grandin, best-selling author, animal behavior expert and subject of a popular HBO movie, recently visited The Winston School for students with learning differences. Grandin, who as a student with autism also learned differently, capped her tour by commenting “I could have thrived here.” The Winston School (http://www.thewinstonschool.com) is a college preparatory program for bright, creative students in grades 4 through 12 who have struggled to meet their potential. The Winston School offers an extensive arts curriculum providing classic training and a creative outlet as well as opportunities to build character and self-confidence. Brenda Holzclaw, a Winston parent, initiated the visit by inviting Grandin to visit Winston during her recent visit to the area. Holzclaw said she felt Winston’s unique approach to teaching students with learning differences would interest Grandin – and it did. In December, Grandin toured the campus and met the school’s students and faculty. Predictably, she made a lasting impression on everyone she met — especially student Joe Ciacci. The 10th grade student was serving as the school’s ambassador that day and was about to start a campus tour when the notably direct Grandin told him he needed to lose weight. “It was hilarious,” Ciacci said. “I’m chubby and the first thing she asked me was ‘What are you eating?’” According to school headmaster Mike Peterson, Grandin’s inquiry wasn’t meant to offend, as many people with autism ask questions that cross social boundaries. “Adults are often dismissed as ‘eccentric’ when they engage is this type of behavior but adolescents can suffer significantly when they don’t understand how to communicate with others,” he said. “Young people with autism benefit from safe, supportive environments that both accept differences and give children tools to become socially successful. The Winston School pro-

At Winston, I’ve seen several students come up with mathematical theories to solve something and if it works, they’ll use it. It’s not just their way.” Peterson said Grandin showed great interest in the art and science programs at the school as well as the fact that students are prepared for high-stakes testing even though faculty doesn’t actually “teach to the test.” Instead, students engage in multisensory lessons that help to build connections to what they are learning. He said, “Grandin talked a lot about her own experiences in education, both positive and negative, and in the end said ‘I could have thrived here.’” For more information, visit thewinstonschool.com.

To Your Health: Diabetes screening basics BY DR. ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, SCRIPPS HEALTH Are you one of the 18.8 million adults and children in the United States who has been diagnosed with diabetes—or perhaps one of the 7 million yet to be diagnosed? Now considered a nationwide epidemic, diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to produce or use insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas that helps transport glucose (blood sugar) into the body’s cells so it can be used for energy. Without enough insulin, the body cannot use sugar properly. Because the sugar cannot get into the cells, it builds up in the bloodstream instead and upsets normal body functions. When blood sugar remains high for prolonged periods, it may damage organs such as the eyes, kidneys, heart and limbs--even if no symptoms are present. People with diabetes either cannot produce enough insulin to process sugar, or cannot correctly use the insulin they do have. The exact cause of diabetes is unknown, although both genetics and environmental factors such as over eating which can lead to obesity and lack of exercise may be factors. A number of factors can affect your risk for diabetes. Your risk may be higher if you: are African-American, Latino, Native American, Asian-American or Pacific Islander; have a family history of diabetes; are overweight; lead a sedentary lifestyle; or develop diabetes during pregnancy. There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs most often in children and young adults. It is an autoimmune disease, which means the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own insulin-producing (beta) cells. Thus, the pancreas stops making insulin, or makes only a tiny amount. People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin every day to keep their bodies functioning properly. About 5 to10 percent of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting 90 percent of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes. While type 2 usually occurs in adults, it is rising at alarming rates in young adults and children. Type 2 diabetes develops over time as a result of lifestyle factors such as obesity and lack of exercise; it often begins as a condition known as prediabetes, in which a person’s blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet elevated enough to qualify as diabetes. Prediabetes is likely to lead to type 2 diabetes within 10 years; in the meantime, many people with prediabetes will develop health problems commonly associated with diabetes itself. If not treated, diabetes can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, kidney disease, blindness, infection of the lower limbs that may lead to amputation, and damage to the peripheral nervous system. Fortunately, once diabetes is diagnosed, it can be treated. While there is no cure to date, diabetes researchers have made significant advancements in the understanding and treatment of the disease. Through proper diabetes management, including medication and lifestyle changes, people with diabetes can lead full, healthy lives. Early detection of diabetes is vital to decreasing the likelihood of complications later on. Some of the most common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst or hunger, unusual weight loss, increased fatigue, blur-

ry vision, wounds that do not heal, and frequent infections. If you have any of these symptoms, contact your physician right away. Diabetes screening tests, such as lab tests that measure the level of glucose in your blood, can identify diabetes and determine the best course of treatment. There are several types of tests. Two require fasting for at least eight hours before testing to ensure that you don’t consume anything that may affect the test results, as eating or drinking may raise your blood glucose levels. The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) measures your glucose levels first thing in the morning after you have fasted during the night. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures your blood glucose once after you have fasted. Then, you will be given a special highglucose beverage to drink; two hours after you finish it, your
PAGE B19
blood glucose levels will be measured again. A newer nonfasting test, HbA1C, has been used to measure how well your average blood glucose has been controlled over a period of two to three months. This test measures the percentage of glycated hemoglobin, or HbA1c, in your blood. If you have any of the risk factors for diabetes, including a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, or a history of gestational diabetes, ask your physician if testing is right for you. Athena Philis-Tsimikas, MD, specializes in endocrinology with Scripps Health and is corporate vice president of the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute. Scripps Mercy Hospital will host a free event for those living with diabetes and those at risk of diabetes on Feb. 4, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Screenings, education and the chance to talk with health care professionals will be offered to all those who attend.

Public invited to select ‘Best Ad’ for San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy The San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy is reaching out to the public, asking for help selecting the commercial that best supports the cause of saving endangered species. Just launched Jan. 9, the People’s Choice contest (available online at vote.sandiegozooglobal.org) offers a selection of three videos geared toward inspiring conservation. The three were selected from almost 100 submissions as part of an effort to find the best way to engage people around the world with the Wildlife Conservancy’s efforts. “We are looking for a video that reaches out to people, engaging them emotionally with endangered species,” said Debra Erickson, San Diego Zoo Global’s director of communications. “We have three videos that approach the theme of conservation in very different ways, and we are looking to our communities to tell us which video they like the best.” The videos showcased were selected by a panel of judges from the advertising and film industries along with Zoo creative staff. Each video takes a different approach; one features the black humor of species with protest signs, another depicts animals in cartoon style and the last showcases a child’s emotion at losing animal toys.
“The video depicting a child’s relationship to his animal toys was the video selected by our judges,” said Michael Warburton, advertising manager for San Diego Zoo Global. “However, we recognize the importance of hearing from the communities that support our work, and the People’s Choice contest gives our members and supporters a chance to give us their opinion.” The People’s Choice video contest will run from Jan. 9 through 23 at 8 a.m. During this time, online guests are invited to view the videos and vote for the one they feel conveys the strongest conservation message. More information about the San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy can be found on its website, www. sandiegozooglobal.org. In addition to information about the Conservancy’s wildlife conservation work, the website features a live web camera in a California condor enclosure. The dynamic content available online at www.sandiegozooglobal.org gives visitors to the site access to content used by conservation researchers to better understand the wildlife they study, including a comical time-lapse video of a family of nine burrowing owls — seven chicks and the parents — busying themselves at the opening to their burrow.

The CMA identifies those board certified physicians who are held in the highest regard by their peers. “Each year, we select a physician who shows compassion, integrity and outstanding clinical practice as a private practitioner. Despite all of the ongoing problems in the world of medicine and during one of the worst recessions in years, Dr. Mehta chose to open his own solo private practice in La Jolla two years ago and has been hugely successful.” said James Ochi M.D. Dr. Mehta attended the University of Southern Cali-

In 2009, Dr. Mehta opened California Hearing and Balance Center and California Facial Nerve Center. The practice has been a hit with patients, offering the latest treatments for hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and skull base surgery. Addition-
ally, the practice has acquired two doctors of audiology who specialize in the latest hearing aid technology. Dr. Mehta continues to publish academic journals and is an active participant in the community. He a leader in medical mission trips domestically and overseas, and in his spare time coaches his daughter’s soccer team. He most recently ran a half marathon to benefit the national Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. “Dr. Mehta is a fine example of a Solo & Small Group Practice physician for which we are proud to award him our Doctor of the Year.” said James Ochi M.D. Dr. Mehta is medical director for Claudia Obermann who recently opened a medical spa in Del Mar Highlands Town Center called ClaudiaO. Claudia is a laser and injectable specialist. Visit www. claudiao.com or call 858-7054489 to reach Claudia.

La Rosa’s Garden: Living ambiance of house plants BY FRANK LA ROSA In Southern California areas, we have a winter of sorts. And, I like many of you, prepare hot soups and I buy warm clothes. But most of all, I need plants in my life even if the outdoor garden is dormant. I need to hover Frank La Rosa over plants: are they growing, need water or fertilizer? So, I bring them indoors to create that living ambiance like that of glass houses or conservatories. We can create that ambiance with a few choice house plants. Here are five house plants well suited to our home and garden room: although I grow plants throughout our home, the garden room cum sitting room is where they grow so well. Lots of windows. First, house plants must have good earth. The potting earth must breathe, so I use about 50 percent ground pumice the size of peas. Next, mix in 25 percent of the best garden earth that you can scrape up from your garden beds. You and I know where that is because we have gardened so long. Cut in another 25 percent peat moss---mix all four ingredients in a wheelbarrow. It should smell good! Use 8” to 10” plastic pots. They hold moisture better than terracotta for indoors, although you can use terracotta if you like a rich, earthy appearance. Do not forget to buy some sturdy plastic saucers, not those flimsy, clear plastic ones---they are like using ketchup to make spaghetti sauce. You need
good saucers to protect to good surfaces. Dizygotheca elegantissima has long, narrow serrated leaves. It grows slowly and needs moderate light. Keep it watered (good for the atmosphere too), and fertilize with one third strength Miracle-Gro. Do this for all the others as well. Asplenium bulbiferum, a “Mother Fern”, gives that lush mossy look. The tips of the ferns produce plantlets. Children love to see this phenomenon—pot them up if you wish. I keep a Streptosolen jamesonii (Marmalade Bush) indoors because it is pretty and sensitive to cold. Although it does not bloom much, it has crisp light green leaves and it can be planted in hanging pots. Give it as much sun as you can. My favorite is Stromanthes sanguinea “Triostar” from Brazil. Long pointed red, green, cream, leaves are very tropical. I keep it on the dining table where I can see it as we dine. It requires hydration and little light. Strobilanthes dyeranus from Burma has lanceolate leaves, green on top and purple underneath. It grows prolifically in moderate light and is a true delight to look at. Cuttings root easily. Give them to friends. You do not have to follow my choices of these house plants. Go to Home Depot and breathe in the ambiance of their house plant section. They have the best selection and the prices are better than elsewhere. My grandmothers and aunt got through the winter in far colder climes than ours by tending house plants. They taught me to love plants even in snow laden wintry Pittsburgh.

Coldwell Banker Realtor and Pardee Homes combine efforts to ensure smooth home buying experience for relocation buyer The excitement and stress of the holidays pale in comparison with the experience of relocating to a new country and buying a new home, but for Ping Hui and his wife Melody Lin, that process was made easier with the help of local North County Realtor® Wesley Royal of Coldwell Banker. Royal helped them find their new home at Pardee Homes’ Highlands Village in Carmel Valley. The couple, who relocated from Vancouver, BC, Canada, started their house hunting with Royal after Labor Day, making multiple offers on resale properties in Carmel Valley, including one negotiation that lasted over three weeks. When the Huis were nearly ready to give up their search, their agent took them to Highlands Village where they found a new townhome that was surprisingly comparable to resale. “In my opinion, Highlands Village is priced as good as any resale in the area,” said Wesley Royal, winner of North San Diego County Association of Realtors’ 2011 Realtor Award of Excellence. “After looking at
many resale properties, my client knows he got a really good value buying new. This fact was confirmed even further when his home appraised for thousands more than the asking price. Working with Pardee made for a very smooth transaction. It was a win-win situation for me, and the Hui family is very happy.” The Huis, who bought a Plan 1 at Highlands Village, purchased at an ideal time during a special year-end promotion. Their offer was accepted the same day they placed it and their home buying process went smoothly. They are now enjoying their new home and the beautiful community, including the spa and pool. To visit Highlands Village, located at 10674 Golden Willow Trail in San Diego, from I-5, take Freeway 56 east to Carmel Country Road; go south approximately 1.5 miles and follow the signs to the sales center and models.
