Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club membership changes approved BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved three changes to Golf Club membership at its first meeting of 2012 on Jan. 5. The Golf Club will now have special half-off guest fees from January through April; will allow enrollment fees to be paid in installments; and the age for junior playing privileges has been raised. Here’s an overview of the changes: Guest fees Jim Boyce, golf club board of governors membership chair, said the changes to the guest fees are related to the fact that guest play has traditionally dropped in the winter months due to cost and course condition. “We want to change existing members’ habits and bring people back to the Ranch and think of this club as a place to play year round,” Boyce said. Under the new guest program, members can purchase a package for five 18-hole rounds or 10 nine-hole rounds for $350, a 50 percent discount from the standard guest fee. The rates will run through April 20 on a trial basis. Boyce said a similar program has been successful at San Diego Country Club. The new fee program passed 5-1 with director Ann Boon as the sole holdout. Boon said although she was excited that the golf club is looking at ways to increase revenue, she wouldn’t approve the change without seeing a cost-benefit analysis. Enrollment options New members pay a $50,000 enrollment fee to join the Golf Club. Boyce said when new residents move into the Ranch they typically have a lot of other expenses and may wait two to three years before being able to join the club. The deferred payment option allows them to spread the enrollment payment out over two years. New members would have the option to pay $20,000 up front, with $17,000 due after one year and the balance of $13,000, plus a $3,000 additional charge at the end of the second year. Boyce said the club has been aggressively trying to market new memberships and the pilot deferred enrollment program may help bring in some new people. “It is an outreach,” commented director Roxana Foxx. “It’s an effort to keep a vibrant golf community.” Junior regular playing privilege The previous age for junior golfing privileges (juniors meaning children still living at home) was 23. Changes in lifestyle and economic pressures have led to more children staying at home longer, which prompted the golf club into raising the age to 26, Boyce said. As there is a limitation on how many times a guest can play a year, many members requested that the junior golf age be raised to allow unlimited play for their older children who live at home. The membership was notified about the proposed changes and no comments in the 60-day comment period were received. Juniors with playing privileges are charged an annual fee of $500 plus $150 a month in dues.

Ag. board members raise potential conflict of interest • Board member questioned about relationship with local attorney 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 the 22nd District Agricultural Association,
which operates the stateowned 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 representing 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

RSF resident’s Eagle Scout project enhances trailhead BY KAREN BILLING For his Eagle Scout project, Rancho Santa Fe’s Blake Chaffin hoped to bring some care and attention to a San Elijo Ecological Reserve trailhead, just past the lower entrance to San Dieguito Park on El Camino Real in the Rancho Santa Fe area. Blake, a member of Boy Scout Troop 766 and a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy, took down an old 200-foot-long split rail fence that had been falling apart and replaced it with a new log pole fence. His project also included planting and the placement of a new trailhead sign. Blake received help from fellow Troop 766 scout members Sam Dutt, a freshman at Canyon Crest, and Nick and Tanner Stiker, sophomores at Cathedral Catholic High School. The boys spent close to 150 hours on the work at the entrance to the trail that leads all the way to the nature center near the ocean on Manchester Drive. San Elijo Ecological Preserve extends from between Solana Beach and Encinitas inland to Ranch Santa Fe and includes nearly 1,000 acres of habitat, with more than 700 species of plants and animals and seven miles of trails. “I thought it would be good to clean it up,” said Blake, noting a lot of people might not know there was access to a two-mile trail to the ocean. “The old sign was hidden further back, now it’s in the forefront.”
On Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 6 p.m., the community will have a special opportunity to hear about a wide-ranging list of hot-button scientific topics from Dr. John Reed. Dr. Reed will be discussing with Dr. Jack Baca such topics as the coming era of personalized Dr. John Reed medicine and advances in stem cell technologies which involve recreating “disease in a dish.” Reed is both scientist and leader at the Sanford-Burnham, a research institute that seeks to understand the underlying biological mechanisms that generate good health or, when they go awry, cause disease. With five research centers, Sanford-Burnham is
working to discover the next generation of treatments for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious and inflammatory diseases, diabetes, childhood diseases and many other conditions. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Center at the Village Church. Wine and light hors d’oeuvres will be served following the discussion. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased either online at www.villageviewpoints.com, by calling 858-381-8070, or at the door. Viewpoints is co-presented by The Village Church and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. The goal of the lecture series is to inform, inspire and impact by providing a forum in which individuals, renown in their field, share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with members of the Rancho Santa Fe community. Seating is at 6 p.m., program at 6:30 p.m., and hors d’oeuvres will be served at 7:30 p.m.
50th anniversary celebration planned for RSF Tennis Club The Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club is gearing up for its 50-year anniversary celebration this summer. Jim McAllister, a member of the tennis club board, visited the Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors June 5 to present an update on the club’s June party, for which the Association has budgeted $20,000. The board agreed to authorize $3,000 for initial planning purposes and the tennis club will still have to return for a funding request. McAllister said they are working on celebrity guests for tennis and ping pong exhibitions and they hope to send invitations out by March, aiming for around 300 people to attend the event. — Karen Billing

BY KAREN BILLING One local school is trying to help find a way for families who feel lost when one of their children is struggling. The Arch Academy is a school that provides a place for recovery in a wrap-around setting for students with behavioral or emotional problems, learning disabilities and substance abuse issues. Arch emphasizes the values of honesty and gratitude, and expects students and families to commit to whatever it takes to ensure success and recovery. The school, founded by Cheryl Zak, a licensed clinical social worker since 1991, and Art Aragon, a substance abuse and behavioral management counselor, is located in the Clairemont Mesa area and the bulk of the students come from North County. Half of tuition is paid by most of the attending students’ home school districts and students are required to stay for a minimum of one year. “It’s a niche group of families and kids who want to turn their lives around and are willing to do the work. We’re not babysitters. It has to be wraparound, where everyone’s involved in it,” Zak said. “The parents have always been a major source of recruiting other parents because they know what it’s

like when their kid is running around at 2 a.m. because they’ve had a bad reaction to their medicine or punched a hole in the wall.” By “wrap around,” Zak means that support is given inside and outside of school for both the students and their parents. When parents need help during afterschool hours, Arch staff is available 24 hours a day, to provide advice over a phone call or even do a home visit. “They helped me through it as a parent because I didn’t know what to do,” said one Del Mar mom. “They really know how to work with these kids.” If a student has an episode or acts up at home, the Arch staff will know about it and there will be consequences at school, sometimes not just for them but for their entire group [of fellow students]. It puts a little more on the student to behave if he knows that his entire group will be held accountable and have privileges like playing Xboxes taken away. “Students can’t have a great day at school and be horrible at home,” said Zak. “There’s no hiding.” One student, Kelsey, said her bad behavior resulted in not being able to go on a family vacation and having most of her clothing taken away so she only had one or two outfits to wear. The approach is a little like tough love, although Zak wouldn’t call it that. “The disinformation out there is we’re like a boot camp, but you see the kids come up and hug me in the morning, it’s not like that,” Zak said. “There’s respect.” Also, unlike a boot camp, when a visitor enters the room, each student stops what they’re doing to come up to the person and introduce themselves and shake the guest’s hand. Kelsey, who said she had “many consequences” when she first arrived, is now a well-spoken teenager who happily and proudly leads a school tour for a guest. In 1996, Zak and Aragon started what would become the origins of Arch Academy with “Rescu,” an after-school drug and alcohol counseling program. They soon discovered that a few hours after school didn’t give the students enough support. “The kids were fine after school, but then they’d go to school where their
friends were doing drugs,” Zak said. “We decided to make the day longer and figure out how to do academics, as well.” Rescu became an a Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC) accredited school in 2004 and it became more than just students with substance abuse issues: The student body includes students along the autism and Asperger’s syndrome spectrum, children who have bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder, depression, or children who have behavioral problems. This year, the school has 28 kids, with three teachers working with the students in groups. The youngest student is 6 and the oldest student is 20. “We have a diverse population on purpose,” Zak said. “We want the older students to help the younger students.” Group becomes a place where they can talk through their issues without being embarrassed, student David said. Zak combats “learned helplessness” by holding students accountable, and teaching them how to do things for themselves, as well as the lesson that the world will not stop for them. It’s important that they become their own advocate, Zak said. One way that students self-advocate and self-examine is through a Presentation of Portfolio (POP) every six months. David, 15, has been at Arch Academy for two years. At his POP he said that before coming to Arch he had a hard time with his family and friends, felt like his teachers were against him and struggled with his ADHD medications, which he felt made him angry and stifled his appetite to the point where he wouldn’t eat and dropped to 102 pounds. Now he is in honors courses, scored a 1410 on his PSAT and is experiencing better interaction at home, where his parents and little brother used to be afraid of his outbursts. He’s found new hobbies—he loves music—and he has gained weight and hopes to get stronger and eventually run a sub-4 minute mile (an achievement that gets your name on a plaque at the school). During his POP, David SEE ACADEMY, page 22

RSF dietician launches cookbook to get ‘Little Hands’ involved in the kitchen 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-
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
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).

“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 agriculture production, human health impacts, the water supply, energy demand and infrastructure, and the technical solutions as well as barriers to addressing these issues. “Extreme events occur rarely but they affect the most people,” said SIO climate researcher Dan Cayan who organized the workshop at the behest of the governor’s office. The human impact of extreme events go beyond property destruction to direct and indirect health that can lead to higher mortality such as the catastrophic 2003 heat wave in Europe estimated to have contributed to 30,000 deaths. “Heat waves are expected to increase in both frequency and duration and extend over larger areas of California,” said Bart Ostro, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. More problematic is a trend toward longer heat waves, during which morality increases, and more hu-

Evening “chill hours” in which the temperature drops below 450 F are also critical for agriculture. “There are three million acres of fruit orchards with chilling requirements,” said Louise Jackson, UC Davis. “Increasing humid heat also impacts red wine grape yields.” The long-term risks of sea level rise are of major concern because California’s development and infrastructure are concentrated along the coast. Retrospective data reveals that the majority of that building occurred during a period of calm weather from 1945 to 1980 when there was less flooding and damage from severe storms. We are now in a period of increased storm wave damage to coastal development and infrastructure made all the worse during El Niño events. “Major El Niños have
had greater impacts than the gradual rise of sea level over the past century,” said Gary Griggs, of UC Santa Cruz. “This will continue to be the case until 2050.” The risk posed to California from large earthquakes is well known by every citizen, but how many are aware of the other “Big One” looming – a massive, statewide winter storm. The last such megastorm occurred in the winter of 1862 and lasted 45 days. Scientists conclude from predictive modeling that future storms of this magnitude could cause more damage than even a large earthquake on the San Andreas Fault.” Driving some of the largest precipitation events are “atmospheric rivers” (ARs), a term coined in 1990 to describe a narrow corridor of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere. ARs produce some 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.

Top corporate sales trainer offers new insights into the mystery of selling 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” (McGraw-Hill, 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 — using a combination of storytelling and empathetic listening.” We interviewed the 64-year-old sales guru in his 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 sales-
Quick Facts Name: Mike Bosworth Distinction: Veteran sales trainer Mike Bosworth is the co-author of a new book on how top salespeople use the power of storytelling and empathic listening to create sales. He’s also the co-founder of WeConcile™, a new web-based and interactive program to help couples connect more fully and resolve conflicts. Born: Saint Paul, Minnesota Education: B.S. degree in marketing and business management, California State Polytechnic University, 1972. Family: Divorced father of three grown children: Brendan, 34, a music school teacher and owner; Brian, 31, a graphic designer; and Shiloah, 27, a mother, all of Seattle, Wash.

man. “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 mis-
sion 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 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.”

RSF Democratic Club to hold Congressional candidates forum The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club will present a Candidate Forum for the 52nd Congressional District on Jan. 18 at 6:30 p.m., at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, located at 5827 Via de la Cumbre, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. The 2012 race for the 52nd Congressional District’s seat will be the most competitive race in San Diego County. As a result of redistricting, the 52nd Congressional District is almost evenly split between Democrat, Republican, and Decline-to-State voters with Republicans holding only a slight advantage. The fact that the 2012 primary election will be open to all voters with only the top two candidates advancing to the general election makes the June primary even more important. There are two strong Democratic candidates running to unseat incumbent Republican Brian Bilbray: Scott Peters
Scott Peters and Lori Saldana and Lori Saldana, who will participate in the forum. At the close of the forum, members will endorse a candidate for the 52nd CD. Please RSVP to: events@ rsfdem.org. Members $15; Non-members $25. Questions: Maria McEneany: 858-759-2620. About the candidates: Scott Peters earned his undergraduate degree from Duke University and worked as an economist for the United States Environmental Protection Agency before attending New York University School of Law. He served as San Diego’s first City Council president and is currently the chair of the San Diego Unified Port Dis-
trict. He and his wife of 25 years, Lynn, are 22-year residents of the 52nd District. They live in La Jolla and have a daughter and son. Website: www.scottpeters. com Lori Saldana grew up in Clairemont. She earned her BA and MA from San Diego State University. Saldana chaired the Mayor’s Wetlands Advisory Board, the San Diego Sierra Club, and was appointed by President Clinton to the Border Environmental Cooperation Commission. Elected to the California State Assembly in 2004, Saldana served on the Veterans Affairs Committee for six years. She co-authored California’s landmark Climate Change legislation, which passed with bi-partisan support and wrote legislation that cracked down on “Payday Lenders.” Today, Saldana teaches at San Diego State University.

Story of ‘Fang the Cat’ a family affair 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 local 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-inhand 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 cartoonlike.” 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, kind of like a person.” The drawings, he said, “are pretty simple and whim-
sical.” 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 secondgrade 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 grammar and deciding whether to write in first per-
son 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 Dave Wolfson and Melissa Maes-Wolfson 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 readers and will move the acbilling as the writer. The section into their garden. ond story, which Wolfson “Fang the Cat” is availhopes will be out by midable in paperback at amazon. year, will include more text com, as a Kindle e-book and as it aims for slightly older at inkypigpress.com.

Lifetime television show to feature local resident’s Jazzercise studio, workout clothing line BY KAREN BILLING A Lifetime reality television show will showcase local resident Susan Jentzsch’s Jazzercise studio and workout clothing line “Moda by Sofia.” “The Balancing Act” will follow four women trying to make positive health and wellness changes in their lives and the segments will premiere on the Lifetime Network on Jan. 30. The show airs on weekday mornings at 7 a.m. and the audience will see the women sporting Moda clothing and taking Jazzercise in Carmel Valley. The show will track the women, who range in age from 20 to 50 years old, for six months as they try to tackle challenges related to their weight, stress, financial troubles and divorce. The “big reveal,” the results show, will be aired in July. Jentzsch is happy to be involved in a show that supports the Healthy Weight Commitment, a coalition of more than 190 retailers, food and beverage manufacturers, restaurants and professional sports organizations promoting ways to help people achieve a healthy weight with goals to reduce obesity, especially childhood obesity, by 2015. She also feels lucky to be able to share her clothing line with a broader audience. “It’s completely a dream come true,” said Jentzsch. “I’m really excited to be a part of it and I’m thrilled to let the greater community know that there’s great things happening with local San Diego business owners.” Jentzsch’s involvement with the show was jolted by a chance meeting with “Balancing Act” producers O2 Media at the ACE Fitness Symposium last year in San Diego. “We started talking and we both fell in love,” Jentzsch said. “The clothing line was the perfect match for the show because it’s all about health and wellness.” As a show sponsor, Jentzsch helped select the finalists in December in Florida. The women will travel to the Premier Fitness Camp at La Costa Resort for a week on Jan. 20 where they’ll learn the best exercise for their body types. The quartet will also visit the Sorrento Valley Jazzercise studio for a class taught by Jentzsch.
Anyone who mentions this article can receive the first month of Jazzercise free. Learn more by calling (858) 7352714 or e-mailing jazzercisebythesea@gmail.com. Carmel Valley Jazzercise Center is located at 11722 Sorrento Valley Road, suite E.
‘Building Balanced Alternative Investment Portfolios’ topic of next ‘Coffee and Conversation’ event The Moda by Sofia line, created by local resident Susan Jentzsch, will be featured on a Lifetime reality show. Every time the women are working out, which aims to be a lot, they will be wearing Moda by Sofia’s Pluscious line, a line Jentzsch created to fit curves, or “women built like women.” “That is exactly why I created the line because exercise clothes didn’t fit me,” said Jentzsch, Made from Supplex fabric, the clothing moves with the wearer, is fully breathable and fast drying. She designed the tanks to be longer than average and the built-in bra’s straps come with elastic that is an inch thick to be really supportive. The pants have flattering rear pockets, contoured stitching and are higher rise in the front and the back. Jentzsch also created a SkinnyGirl line of Moda that flatters a different body type. Moda also has a fun aspect of allowing customers to self-style the clothes with their choice of appliqués and sparkling crystals. Since October, Jentzsch has run the Carmel Valley Jazzercise Center in Sorrento Valley, a 15,000-square-foot space that doubles as a storefront for her Moda line that she started three years ago. The dance-based fitness classes are offered seven days a week.

“Though it may seem counter-intuitive, the addition of a high-risk asset to your portfolio may reduce your total portfolio risk if the high-risk asset has a low correlation with your other investment assets. In this way, you can lower your portfolio risk while at the same time increasing your potential return.” — Professor Robert Ibbotson, Yale University, chairman and founder of Ibbotson Associates.

Free Garden Ambassadors Program offered for kids
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.

Rohr Jewish Learning Institute to offer new course ‘Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics’ in RSF The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present the new course “Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics.” The six-session series is accredited for 7.5 CLE ethics credits in California and Rabbi Levi Raskin of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-course sessions, beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 23 at Morgan Run. “The recent failures in the financial industry have drastically changed the way we think about business,” explains Rabbi Raskin the local JLI instructor, “at JLI, we deeply believe that business should be a force for good, and that’s why we’re presenting students with timeless Talmudic insights into real-world ethical dilemmas.” Spanning a wide range of intriguing subjects, Money Matters discusses the personal ethics of bankruptcy and freeloading asking questions such as: After purchasing a ticket for a ball game, can you move to an unoccupied, higher-priced seat? If you ever have the money are you morally obliged to repay discharged debt? Questions regarding
topics in social ethics such as living wages, insider trading, CEO compensation, and collective bargaining are also addressed. “Markets need morals, and morals are not made by markets. They are made by schools, the media, custom, tradition, religious leaders, moral role models and the influence of people,” said the British Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks, “Jewish ethics has a long past and a massive resource of wisdom. That is why courses such as JLI’s Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics are so important.” Like all JLI programs, Money Matters is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-7567571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information.

Chemistry is key for CCA Ravens girls basketball team BY GIDEON RUBIN They were young up-and-coming freshmen with limited roles when Canyon Crest Academy’s girls basketball team became the school’s first team to win a San Diego Section title in any sport in 2009. They’re now the five senior leaders on a team that in many ways is very different to the Ravens Division III championship team. During the 2008-09 campaign, the Ravens featured a formidable 1-2 combination of Alisha Eckberg and Meghan Brown, then-seniors who combined for more than 2,800 points during their distinguished CCA careers. But Stephanie Bieler, Alison Brown, Julia Brew, Kathryn Brandos, and Olivia McGuigan, forge the nucleus of a team that relies more on teamwork, chemistry and camaraderie. And if the early returns are any indication, this year’s team might just be every bit as good. The Ravens are off to their best start in program history. Going into the prestigious Holiday Prep Classic at Del Norte High (CCA was scheduled to open the tourney on Dec. 27 against Mayfair), the Ravens were 6-3, with impressive wins against perennial powers Ramona, University City, and Cathedral Catholic, among others. “They’re not that tall and they’re not that athletic, but they have great team chemistry and they also really have a great understanding of basketball and the way it’s supposed to be played,” CCA coach Terry Ryan said. In addition to chemistry and camaraderie, the Ravens are also benefitting from excellent court awareness communication among players. “It’s a lot more fun because you know everyone on the team really well,” Bieler said. “You know what everyone else is going to do and you win together and you lose together.
From left to right: Stephanie Bieler, Alison Brown, Olivia McGuigan, Kathryn Brandos, Julia Brew forge the nucleus of a team that relies on teamwork, chemistry “We like to do stuff off the court too, so it’s really fun.” From a matchup standpoint, the Ravens are a difficult team to prepare for. They feature a balanced offense, with as many as four players already scoring in double figures in the same game on several occasions. “That’s what makes this team special, they have chemistry,” Ryan said.”They all can score, they know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and they know where to be on the court.” Bieler, a second-year captain, is probably the team’s most feared scoring threat. She’s a physical player who brings smarts to go along with a solid jumper to the forward position. She’s also among the team’s best defensive players and leading rebounders. “She’s just (5-foot-8) or 5-9, but she plays much bigger,” Ryan said.
Brown is an athletic point guard with excellent aptitude and a knack for anticipating plays. She’s a legitimate scoring threat who can also fill in at shooting guard in a pinch and is a surprisingly effective rebounder at 5-6. Brew, who plays the wing, is an impact scorer and defender, and Brandos, who plays guard, is a 3-point shooting specialist and excellent passer. McGuigan, a 5-9 reserve forward, brings energy and an excellent rebounding and defensive game. Brew and Brown have collegiate aspirations, hoping to become the program’s third and fourth CCA players to continue their careers at four-year schools. Eckberg (San Jose State) is CCA’s only player to go on to a Division I school, and Alex Brunt-Pluta plays at Division III Willamette University (Salem, Ore.). Ryan said Brew will likely land at a Division II school, with Cal Lutheran (Simi Valley) a strong possibility. Brown is being recruited by several Division III schools, he said. Bieler could play at a four-year school too, but she plans to focus on academics. Ryan acknowledged that they’ll all be missed. “They play hard and they play the way a coach wants them to play,” he said. “They know their roles, they know each other and they play really well together as a team. It’s a coach’s dream the way play together.” Bieler said she and her current Ravens teammates learned from playing for a championship team as freshman, despite having limited roles. “We just learned how good we can be and that even if you’re not ranked very high that doesn’t mean you’re not going to go far, you definitely can still go far, it’s all about how well you play as a team,” Bieler said.

Wendy Wilkinson 1957 – 2011 Wendy Marthe Kruidenier Wilkinson was born October 28, 1957, in Greenwich, CT, and passed away December 29, 2011. She was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, sister and aunt, who put her love of family first, her love of friends second and her love of horses third. As a young girl, Wendy was a competitive swimmer and accomplished equestrienne who won trophies and awards throughout her childhood in Scottsdale, Arizona. An avid skier, she graduated from
the University of Colorado in 1979 majoring in Journalism and was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority. Wendy started work at Reid Advertising in Costa Mesa, CA, and joined Ogilvy and Mather in L.A. as a media buyer.

In 1990 they formed Cabrillo Broadcasting, a Spanish language television station and moved their family to San Diego County. As an active member of the Junior League and National Charity League, she participated in community work wherever she lived, but her greatest passions were her family, friends and horses. She was a loving and dedicated mom who could always be found attending lacrosse matches, soccer games and horseshows – often serving as team mom or watching ringside as her horses jumped their course counting the steps between fences and ready with a carrot or a treat. Generous, loving and
devoted, Wendy was the rock, the glue that held family life together, encouraging everyone she touched to make the world a better, kinder place. She will be deeply missed by her many family members and friends. She is survived by her husband, Philip Wilkinson of Rancho Santa Fe; children, Nicholas, Chelsea and Ryan; mother, Elizabeth Kruidenier of Carlsbad; father, Peter Kruidenier of La Jolla; sister, Carol Luery of Sacramento; and 34 nieces and nephews and their families.

How do we know what they are? And how did we acquire them? These questions will be explored in “Making of the Modern World: To Be Human,” a nine-part public lecture series on the campus of the University of California, San Diego featuring some of the university’s preeminent speakers from various academic departments. The series begins Jan. 18 with a talk on “How Food Fueled Human Origins” and will conclude March 14 with a lecture on “Political Perspectives on Being Human in the 20th Century.” “Making of the Modern World” is a multi-course general education sequence designed by Eleanor Roosevelt College, one of UC San Diego’s six colleges, to provide students with a broad, global overview of the past from the emergence of the human species to the contemporary world. The “To Be Human” series was created, in part, to showcase the “Making of the Modern World” academic program to the San Diego community. “We’re excited to share the uniqueness of ‘Making of the Modern World’ with a broader audience,” said Eleanor Roosevelt College Provost Alan Houston. “Part of the university’s mission is to contribute to the community, and this series speaks to that mission.” The free lectures will take place Jan. 18 through March 14, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Great Hall at UC San Diego’s International House, unless otherwise noted. Speakers and their programs include: Jan. 18, 7 p.m.––Margaret Schoeninger, professor of anthropology, “How Food Fueled Human Origins.” At 6:30 p.m., there will be a reception with light hors d’oeuvres on the Great Hall patio. Jan. 25, 7 p.m.–– William H.C. Propp, professor of history, “In His Image and Likeness: Being Human in Ancient Israel.”
Feb. 1, 7 p.m.––Matthew T. Herbst, director of “Making of the Modern World,” “Desire, Temptation and Spiritual Struggle: Historical Christian Perspectives on Being Human.” Feb. 8, 7 p.m.––Suzanne Cahill, professor of history, “Suffering, Enlightenment and Immortality: Chinese Buddhists and Daoists on the Human Condition.” Feb. 15, 7 p.m.––Hasan Kayali, professor of history, “The Divine and the Human in Islamic Tradition: A Historical Perspective.” Feb. 23, 6 p.m.––Steve Kay, dean of the Division of Biological Sciences, “Humanity’s Greatest Challenge — Food, Fuel and the Future.” *Note this event will be held in the Faculty Club, with light hors d’oeuvres, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 29, 7 p.m.––Seth Lerer, dean of the Division of Arts and Humanities, “The Verve: How We Became Modern.” March 7, 7 p.m.––Terrence Sejnowski, Francis Crick Professor of Biology, Salk Institute, “What Makes the Human Brain Human.” March 14, 7 p.m.––Pamela Radcliff, professor of history, “Political Perspectives on Being Human in the 20th Century: Fascism, Communism and Democracy.”At 6:30 p.m. there will be a reception with light hors d’oeuvres on the Great Hall patio. The college system at UC San Diego is designed to provide students with many of the advantages of a small liberal arts college plus the opportunities and resources of a large research university.

BOARD continued from page 1 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,
January 12, 2012
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.

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 Rancho Santa Fe Review 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. Rudy and Rosanna Biller
ACADEMY continued from page 4 talked about what he had studied in classes and analyzed his learning styles and what he can do to improve—a level of self-reflection that sometimes adults don’t even do. “I [didn’t used] to ask for help ever,” David said during his POP. “I’ve started to ask for more help from my peers, teachers and my dad.” Students complete one course at a time, usually spending four to six weeks on each course with a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 5. The school offers family and sibling support meetings, 12-step groups, parent support meetings every Saturday and life management seminars. It can be a long day for students, beginning at 8 a.m. and sometimes lasting until after 7 p.m., working on projects. “My son loves to stay after school,” said one mom. “All of the kids want to be by Cheryl [Zak]. She’s the light all the moths are attracted to.” The Academy has a book club that coordinates with international trips taken by students during the summer. Fundraising is done for these trips throughout the year. For example, students read “SlaughterhouseFive” and the works of Friedrich Nietzsche in preparation for a trip to Germany,
and students are currently reading Dostoevsky in anticipation of a Russian trip next summer. In cooking club, students learn not only about cooking but about budgeting—they are given limited funds to shop and cook for the entire school. This process also teaches them about being gracious; they are less inclined to turn up their noses at foods their fellow students have made when they know how much work goes into it. As a reflection of Zak’s past as a swimmer, students participate in Polar Bear Club, swimming the La Jolla Cove, from 2 to 4 miles in the morning. Arch’s 6-yearold student swam the four miles this year with the entire group learning about how they can only be as strong as their weakest link—it may have taken a much longer time to complete, but every swimmer finished with the youngster. “The group has to respect each other, they learn one kid is not more important than the group,” said Zak, who believes teachable moments can be found in most everything they do at the school. To learn more about Arch Academy, visit thearchacademy.com or call (619) 888-5131. The school is located at 9445 Farnham Street, suite 101, San Diego, CA, 92123.

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.

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.

TPHS alum returns for debut jazz performance BY CLAIRE HARLIN The youngest of five, pianist Paul Keeling grew up listening to his father and siblings playing classical chamber music in their living room. His brothers played the violin, cello and guitar, and his sister played both the piano and viola. Father Charles David Keeling — an accomplished pianist and one of the first scientists to alert the world to humans’ impact on global warming — led the family to its musical legacy. Paul was the only Keeling child to pursue a professional career in music, and he made a name for himself in San Diego in the 1990s as member of acclaimed trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos’s quartet. Keeling is now living in Vancouver, Canada, but the Torrey Pines High School alumnus will be giving a rare performance in San Diego on Jan. 14 at 98 Bottles, located at 2400 Kettner Blvd., Suite #110. “I’m stepping out more as a leader,” said Keeling, who will be debuting his new album, “The Farthest Reach.” “It’s really nice to come back to San Diego and play my own material.” Keeling was inspired not only by his musically intellectual family, but by the notable musicians from Del Mar who he grew up listening to locally. A few of his idols include local jazz guitarist Peter Sprague, saxist
Paul Keeling Steve Feierabend, pianist Rob Schneiderman and vocalist Kevyn Lettau — all of whom went on to have successful careers in music. “They performed in Del Mar during ‘Del Mar Days’ and other outdoor free events, including Earth Song Bookstore on 101 (now closed),” Keeling said. “They had gigs at places like the Fire Pit (now the Poseidon) but I was too young to get in.” Keeling said another important reason he got interested in jazz was hearing the Pat Metheny Group live when he was 12 years old, and he is most influenced by the likes of jazz pianists Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock. “I would describe the kind of jazz I play as rhythmically driving, harmonically rich, and above all, melodic,” he said. “It is not
hard to get or relate to. A lot of it has an open, landscapey feel. People who are not necessarily into jazz can get into it, but jazz purists will also not be disappointed.” Being a pianist is not the only hat Keeling wears. He’s an avid surfer — one of the first things he did during his brief return to Del Mar — and he has a master’s degree in environmental philosophy from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He loves philosophical writing and has been published in various journals and magazines on environmental issues. For more information on Keeling and his music, visit www.myspace.com/ keelingpaul.

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.
Richard Baird, Kyle Sorrell, Jason Maddy, Alexandra Grossi, Mark Pinter, Kyle Roche, and Kandis Chappell create interesting characters in James Goldman’s ‘The Lion in Winter.’ PHOTO: AARON RUMLEY The actors who portray the sons are superb both in their serious moments and sillier ones when articulating Goodman’s funnier dialogue. Baird (“Cyrano De Bergerac,â€? NCRT “Ghostsâ€?) 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,â€? he tells her. Geoffrey is the middle son and ignored by both parents. Maddy (“Angels in Americaâ€?) does a fine job in showing he detests them both. When Eleanor questions his love, he responds, “God forgive me, I’ve upset the

Coached by Loren Henry, the freshman boys are undefeated for the season.
Torrey Pines JV Soccer team finalists at Invitational The Torrey Pines JV Soccer team were finalists in the 2011 North County Inland Invitational. They beat Scripps 1-0, Patrick Henry 2-0 and Del Norte 7-0 in regular play. They advanced and won against St. Augustine 2-1 in the semi-finals and tied Escondido High School 1-1 to eventually lose in penalty kicks.
Register now for Carmel Valley 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.

TPHS graduate earns prestigious engineering leadership award BY MEGAN MCVAY When asked about his research ventures at UCSD as an electrical engineering graduate student, local resident Joshua Windmiller casually mentioned that he had developed the world’s most intelligent wetsuit. Such accomplishments are just the beginning for the former Torrey Pines High School student who was recently selected as one of the 2011 Graduate Gordon Engineering Leadership Awardees by UCSD’s Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Center. Windmiller’s passion for engineering began at an early age as he has always taken a special interest in how things worked. As an elementary school student, he played with computers and tried to decipher their parts. And as high school student, he supplemented this natural curiosity with an elevated education by enrolling in math and science courses so advanced that college professors often came to Torrey Pines High School to teach them. In 2003, he graduated from Torrey Pines High School and began his education as an electrical engi-
Joshua Windmiller neering major at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering. During his undergraduate years, Windmiller persevered through rigorous fiveclass schedules that left little time for relaxation. “Quantum Electrodynamics was definitely the most challenging course of my undergraduate education. Sometimes it took me one day just to grasp what a question was asking. Even though it was my most diffi-
cult course, it was probably my favorite because I learned a lot about my capabilities by being pushed so hard,” said Windmiller. After receiving his bachelor’s degree and completing his undergraduate education, Windmiller enrolled in the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering as a graduate student to pursue his master’s degree and PhD. “The most difficult part of becoming a graduate student was making the transition from only focusing on doing well in classes to having to pose and solve my own questions and become an independent researcher,” said Windmiller. Indeed, Windmiller successfully transitioned into an independent researcher — one who could fuse together entrepreneurial ideas and innovative engineering to develop technology useful for everyone. Windmiller joined a research group comprised of 20 UCSD graduate students who were also focused on electrical engineering and became the senior Ph.D. student of the group. The group served as a support system in which each student was engaged in his or
her own thesis research and was guided by the group’s advisor, Joe Wang, the UCSD Professor of Nanoengineering. Over the last five years, Windmiller has succeeded in researching and developing a breakthrough printable sensor technology that allows biomedical devices to be printed on textiles and plastics, and also has longevity — despite constant wear. Perhaps the most advantageous aspect of these printable biomedical sensors is that they cost only cents to produce and can be printed at a fast pace, thereby fulfilling Windmiller’s goal to make healthcare more affordable. These sensors are as thin as paper, yet are capable of sensitivity at a parts per trillion level. Hypothetically, this means that they can detect one- 20th of a single drop of water diluted into an Olympic size pool. Windmiller focuses on innovating technology that is universally useful, and these sensors are exactly that. They have a multitude of functions, each function helpful to a different group of people in society. Athletes can buy
clothes with these sensors attached to the sleeves and, in turn, the sensors will alert the athletes of any lactic acid or electrolyte imbalances in their sweat. Likewise, surfers, divers and swimmers can wear biomedical-sensor wetsuits, which can assist them in identifying harmful pollutant levels in the ocean. Windmiller plans to complete his thesis this year and finally present his technology to a committee in order to receive his Ph.D. However, over the last couple of years, Windmiller has already traveled to Washington D.C. several times to present his advancements and prove his satisfactory improvements to the Office of Naval Research, who has funded Windmiller’s $1.6 million project. “I applied to be funded by the Office of Naval Research by creating a proposal that showed them that my technology allows me to do something they can’t do. Because I develop technology for them, I have to travel to Washington D.C. to present my progress to high-level military officials,” said Windmiller. Windmiller’s printable

sensor technology is beneficial to the Office of Naval Research because it allows the biomedical devices to be printed on military and Navy uniforms. The sensors enable Navy Seals and military personnel to detect the presence of TNT and Improvised Explosion Devices (IED) and consequently prevent more security hazards. “One of the best aspects of my experience is that it has been interdisciplinary. A lot of things we use today aren’t a product of a single engineering discipline, so I like to tie in a bunch of different fields into my research. In addition to being an electrical engineer, I’ve had to be a chemical, bio, mechanical and software engineer at the same time,” said Windmiller. In 2009, Windmiller further expanded his diverse engineering lore by joining the Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Center, which has the goal of identifying, educating and training “the most promising of engineering leaders who will create new products and jobs that benefit society.” Windmiller was See ENGINEER, page B22

Neighborhood bistro ready to wine and dine you BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Coming from the family that started Pat & Oscar’s, and having operated the former Bread Bites & Moore for years, Tammy Moore knows a thing or two about opening a restaurant. But her latest endeavor is one that she truly calls her own — not only is she more handson with the new Twisted Vine Bistro and Wine Bar that opened last month at 7845 Highland Village Place (just slightly south of Fairbanks Ranch), but she’s combined all her favorite things about restaurants and rolled it into something she hopes will be exactly what the community needs. “If I’m going back to work, I want the place to reflect who I am,” she said. “I love good food, wine and art.” Twisted Vine isn’t for families, so to speak, it’s more of a place for parents to go only a short distance to enjoy a classy night out over wine, Moore said. The restaurant’s philosophy is based on the notion that inspiring conversation over a tasty meal and quality glass of wine is time well spent, and that’s what Moore wants to offer to the community. Though unassuming from the outside — the wine bar is nestled in a Santaluz shopping center — Twisted Vine looks elegant and modern upon entering and the menu is interesting and somewhat upscale, with
items like seared yellowtail tostadas, a Moroccan Marinated South American shrimp curry and a sorpressata with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, olives and basil. Prices are less like an upscale wine bar, however, with many glasses of wine under $10 and dishes under $15. Executive chef Mia Saling said buying local and using produce that’s in season makes dishes less expensive. “We obviously don’t have Alaskan Halibut on the menu,” she said. “We want it to be local, classy and affordable.” Saling’s great-grandfather was Spanish, and she said that cultural influence is near and dear to her heart and very present in her dishes. For example, the popular tomato fennel soup features dried guajillo peppers to give it a kick and you can also find the traditional Spanish Romesco sauce on the menu. To sum up the character of Twisted Vine’s selection, Saling said the menu is “globally-inspired bistro food with a twist.” For example, the molten brie crisp is a twist on classic brie, as it’s baked in feuilles de brick — a puff pastry used in many French recipes. The menu also features a few notable brunch items that double as desserts — cinnamon and sugar donuts and peanut butter banana bacon pancakes. Saling began her restaurant career 18 years as a dishwasher
at an establishment in Montana, but quickly got her foot in as a line cook when an extra hand was needed. Not only did she prove her skills, but was running the kitchen night crew within a month. “That opened the door to work under a classically- trained chef,” she said, referring to her attendance at the Art Institute of California in San Diego. In addition to Saling, Moore was also happy to invite Luciano Leonardo to be part of the Twisted Vine team. Leonardo is from Bassano del Grappa, Italy, where his family’s historic grounds have grown the vines of many wines for hundreds of years. As beverage director at Twisted Vine, Leonardo brings not only his experience as an investment banker and yacht captain to the table, but he also is highly noted for developing a beverage program at San Diego’s Keating Hotel and The merK Bistro Italiano. He has also opened clubs in Las Vegas, Miami, Mexico and New York City. Twisted Vine has a few upcoming tasting events, on Jan. 14 and on Jan. 28, which include light bites and five red wines from Stacked Stone Cellars. Also, on Feb. 11, there will be a Valentine’s Day tasting. For more information, visit www. thetwistedvinebistro.com; 7845 Highland Village Place, Suite C101, San Diego, 92129; 858780-2501.

Earl Warren Art Festival features a variety of student creativity BY DIANE Y. WELCH Warren Hall at the Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach was overflowing with people on a recent evening, with many in the audience standing two deep in the back of the room. The occasion that brought so many parents, students and teachers together was the school’s winter Arts Festival. A similar event is also held at the school in the spring. The walls of the venue were decorated with samples of students’ art and the lineup for the evening’s entertainment included music from the Sea Hawk Guitar Class and orchestral arrangements from the Sea Hawk Beginning and Intermediate Band. The atmosphere was festive and lively. Tami Austin, fine arts and yearbook teacher, and Lindsay Harris, digital and new media arts teacher, opened the program at 6 p.m. The visual and performing arts festival showcased how the students have grown artistically and musically since school started in late August. Students in yearbook were on hand to capture the event for next year’s school annual. First up was the guitar

Directed by music teacher Brett McCarty, new to the school this year, the large group of seventh and eighth graders played through six pieces which included traditional folk songs“Greensleeves” and “Amazing Grace,” and popular tunes “Let It Be”and “Sweet Child of Mine.” In his introduction, McCarty, who also teaches music at Carmel Valley Middle School, explained that of his group of students only about 15 percent of them had prior experience with playing the guitar, and so most are budding musicians. “They have grown tremendously,” he said. During the intermission there was an opportunity to view the exhibit of artwork.
“We offer five visual art electives,” Austin explained. These include general studio arts with a focus on the mastery of elements of art and principles of design, and digital art and art for new media, with an introduction to Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. For the first time several students in the visual arts received ribbons for their work. There were six categories, which included Best Technique, Most Creative, Most Unique, Most Humorous, Most Realistic, and Student Choice. Awards were given in the three genres of art – fine, digital and new media. The studio art exhibit included water color interpretations of a color drenched tree, and paper mache sculptures. Digital and art for new media pieces included designs for music posters, flat-pack toys, short stories, comic strips and magazine covers. After the intermission, the Sea Hawk Beginning/Intermediate Band played a program of three arrangements: “Dance of the Thunderbolts,” two Celtic folk songs, and “Dark Fortress.” Commenting on the importance of music in education,
Camber Hardy, a site council member for EWMS and the San Dieguito Union School District, said, “Music is a great IQ booster. The kids who take band are smart. It’s also wholesome fun for them and keeps them staying busy.” Hardy is the mom of Jacob Hardy, who plays trumpet in the band. In addition to showcasing student talent, the festival also served as a fundraiser. The proceeds from a suggested donation of $5 to attend the event, and the sale of snacks and beverages, donated by parents, brought in funds. Some of the students also opted to have their art framed for $29.95, which was then purchased by their parents. The EWMS Art Club organized its own fundraiser that evening. Available for order were transfer images for tee shirts, taken from the students’ art. Eighth grader Elise Gilmore had a sample of her artwork imprinted on a shirt on display. For a low price of $4 for light fabric, and $6 for dark fabric, a custom image is printed on to a transfer sheet then heat pressed onto the shirt. “You just provide the tee-shirt,” said Elise. Custom designs may also be created
by Art Club students. The festival is a major fundraiser for the arts with all proceeds going directly to the Visual and Performing Art programs, said Austin. Funds help purchase art materials, instruments and to pay for transportation to music events. Further donations are most welcome.

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

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

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.

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.

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, blurry 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 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.

Kids Korps gives away bikes through the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians’ ‘Good Neighbors Award’ Kids Korps USA recently completed a large-scale holiday Build-A-Bike project in partnership with the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians’ “Good Neighbors Award.” On December 17th, 60 volunteers gathered at the Harrah’s Rincon Casino to assemble 52 brand new bikes benefiting underserved youth from the Indian Health Center. Children ages 3-18 helped build the bikes they would later receive with the help of generous volunteers from all over San Diego County, including many tribal leaders and their families, local college students, members from the organization “Teen Challenge,” and Kids Korps USA staff and family members. “What impressed the Rincon Contributions Committee and Tribal Council about Kids Korps is using kids to help others through meaningful participation, like the Build-ABike Project. The idea of taking an active role in caring for your community, especially those less fortunate, not only builds character, it develops generous hearts and loving spirits,” said Bo Mazzetti, chairman of the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians, who was also among the volunteers for the Build-A-Bike event. As volunteers finished assembling the bikes and a certified bike technician completed his safety checks, youth recipients were fitted with helmets, and provided with bike locks as they anxiously awaited the moment they would be presented with their very own bike—some of which had never even been on one, let alone have their very own! What a magical moment it was when the children were able to jump on their bikes and take a “test drive” around the room, and how special it was for the volunteers to see their hard work come to life! “Build-A-Bike is one of our most popular projects year round, but the holiday season makes it even more appealing as we focus on youth whose greatest wish is often a bicycle,” said Veronica Baker, Development Director of Kids Korps USA. Build-A-Bike is a team building exercise that engages sponsor company employees and management in groups that work together to assemble bicycles for gifting to children and youth through various recipient non-profit organizations. Kids Korps offers a variety of year-round and holiday-specific team-building projects. A special “Thank You” to the Harrah’s Rincon Casino for hosting our event and to Anywhere Bicycle Repair for your generous time ensuring our bikes were safe and ready for use! http://anywherebicyclerepair.com/ Kids Korps USA is a national non-profit youth volunteer organization that engages young people (ages 5-25) in

The children that our volunteers purchased jackets, shoes, pants, and other clothing for, will be so happy and feel so loved when they receive these beautiful gifts.

I picked a little boy named Josiah who was one and a half. The only thing I wish I could have had is a picture of him opening the present. It made me so happy to wrap it for him and to know that I could do that for someone else. Giving back is really cool. I would like to do it again next year for sure!” The clothing and gifts purchased for the Adopt - A Child program were delivered on December 17 to Victory Church in Logan Heights where more than 150 children

Your Family Matters: Helping your kids develop healthy social skills BY DR. KEITH KANNER For most parents, concern about their children developing successful friendships is as important as academic dedication and solid morals and family values. But, as all adults realize, friendships are both complicated and confusing, especially for children as most do not understand that friends are anything but perfect and at times can be very supportive, but at other times either overly competitive or envious. By adolescence, most boys and girls take this into stride and manage to accept ups and downs in their friendships as “normal” unless, of course, there is a break-up with their best friend (BF) or a boyfriend or girlfriend which can feel overwhelming. Aside from the imperfection of any friendship,there are also differences in how the temperament or personality of the child will affect how they interact with others. For example, outgoing children, who do not get easily upset, tend to have an easier time developing friendships then children who are either shy
Dr. Keith Kanner
or easily upset by misfortune. Much of this is constitutional, or genetic, but at other times can be based on learning, bad experiences, or modeling how significant people in their lives manage their friendships. Here, children often imitate the type of friendships that the parent of the same sex maintain, whether their mother or father are successful in their interpersonal lives and manage their own conflicts with others. Another important variable is the type of person a child chooses to befriend. In some cases, the child will seek out a “healthy” friend or group, but in other cases not make such good choices. This is often due to unconscious motivations based on their relationships with
their parents or siblings. As people, we naturally tend to repeat patterns in hopes of undoing or changing previous experiences or because they are familiar. As an example, many negative friendships that brew in childhood and adolescence are based on trying to “change” a person who reminds them of someone significant in their life, such as a competitive brother or sister. Here, we see children befriending someone who may not be very nice to them and the child who is trying to heal a previous negative tries each and every avenue to try to get that person to “like and accept them” to no avail. The child becomes saddened and hurt when their best efforts fail. The motivation here is to be liked by someone who may have too much animosity towards them and it becomes an impossible task. On the other hand, many children naturally pick healthy and positive friends and escape social problems. Parents, though, can help this process by teaching their children appropriate social skills as soon as their child has attained
enough maturity to play with others, something that we call “cooperative play” which is usually possible by the second year of preschool. Before this, children naturally play aside from other children until they develop enough understanding of another person’s feelings to play together. It is at the cooperative play period where parents can really help. Most parents allow their children to naturally play with others, which is optimal provided there are few conflicts evident based again on both their child’s natural temperament, and also positive experiences with their relationships with their parents and watching how their parents interact with each other and other adults. On the other hand, if a parent notices struggles with their child interacting with others, this is where the parent needs to step in and help them navigate conflict and resolution. As a general rule, I always suggest that between the ages of 3 and 6, when a parent arranges a play date, he or she sits down with the two children and set some basic standards about how
they should play together and also have some limits about both the types of games they may play and also specify what location they should play within – this “structure” then helps set the stage for a successful play time which then becomes learned and hopefully repeated. Some of these basic “rules” should include: sharing; taking turns choosing activities; being kind; expressing in words when they are feeling upset; and the parent being available if the conflict becomes too intense for the children to manage. When this occurs, the parent then validates that both children are upset and frustrated, normalize that this is normal in friendships, and then try to get the children to appropriately talk to one another about their feelings, and come up with a resolution. These skills are not innate, but learned from parents and teachers — the point is that children need social skills training as much as learning how to master academic material. As mentioned earlier, the choice of friendships comes from two areas: previous experiences, good or negative; and the observation of how their parents get along with each other and their adult friends. Remember, children identify with their parents and idealize them and their actions, we as adults are often guided to befriend certain individuals who may not be very nice for wishes to “change them or make them like us.” Children do the same thing. Making clear to children what is important in a healthy friendship is also very important and should be discussed early. Such characteristics should be: •Someone who really likes them for who they are •Has good morals and family values •Manages conflict in a reasonable fashion •Has the tendency to give and receive •Can tolerate ups and downs in a friendship •Has many commonalities, rather than differences with your child When children, and adults choose friends who are either too dissimilar or too competitive and envious, the See KANNER, page B23

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.

miller was honored as a recipient of the prestigious Gorgon Engineering Leadership Fellowship award. As a Gordon Fellow Award recipient, Windmiller embodies the characteristics of vision, integrity and innovation and serves as a successful leader and positive role model for Jacobs School of Engineering students. On Oct. 25, Windmiller attended the Gordon Engineering Leadership Center’s awards ceremony and received a medal and a $10,000 check. “Most people who receive Ph.D.s pursue an academic passion and dive into the research or the education industry. However, I want to take my education and electrical engineering Ph.D. in an entrepreneurial direction. I hope to start my own business dealing with biomedical advances or alternative energy where I can transform my research into actual products. I think that the leadership-based education I got from the Gordon Center will help me accomplish this,� said Windmiller.
