Torrey Hills planning board wants Ocean Air speed limit lowered BY KAREN BILLING In December, the speed limit on a portion of East Ocean Air Drive in Torrey Hills was increased from 30 to 40 miles per hour. The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board voted 7-1, with one abstention, at its Jan. 17 meeting to request the city reduce the speed limit down to 35 miles per hour. The speed limit is currently posted 40 mph from the Carmel Mountain Road intersection at the Vons shopping center, up the hill and down to the stop sign at Senda Acuario, where the speed limit drops down again as it nears Torrey Hills School. The change was prompted after a survey of the street found that 85 percent of drivers were going 39.9 miles per hour and the limit was modified to comply with state law. Board member Kim Walker said it seemed strange that the city would change the speed limit because a majority were speeding. Due to a planning mixup, the planning board was scheduled to weigh in on the speed limit increase but never had the opportunity. Board member Suzanne Hall took an informal poll of neighbors and found them to be 9 to 1 in favor of keeping the speed limit lower. She said neighbors were concerned as many people are walking on the street to the school, shopping center or trails and there is currently no crosswalk to get across

TV Writers Vault: a strong showing Producers searching for ideas head to CV resident’s website BY JOE TASH Somewhere in America, an idea for the next hit reality television show is hatching in someone’s brain, and Scott Manville wants to bring it to life. Six years ago, the Carmel Valley resident launched The TV Writers Vault, a website (www. tvwritersvault.com) where anyone with an idea for a new tele-
vision show can catch the attention of television executives with the power to bring such concepts into reality. Over the past 18 months, Manville said, the site has caught fire, with traffic tripling. Two reality shows, one in Canada and one in the United States, have made it to the airwaves after being pitched originally on
The TV Writers Vault, he said. “What I like about our site is a housewife in Missouri can pitch an idea and a producer who produces “American Idol” can like it and produce it,” said Manville. “It’s truly a wideopen door to buyers of ideas for shows. It’s all about the idea.” See WRITERS, Page 6

Torrey Hills planning board seeks help in expediting beautification project BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board made a plea Jan. 17 to visiting District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner to help expedite a beautification project for a Torrey Hills neighborhood that appears to be “stuck in bureaucracy.” Planning board member Brad Fagan said the plan to beautify the one area of Torrey Hills that’s “basically a blight” — a 200-foot SDG&E easement under a larger power pole and lines at the crest of East Ocean Air Drive — was submitted last August for approval.
“I wanted everyone to know it’s going extremely slow,” Fagan said. “There are city conditions we have to meet and some of those conditions don’t seem to be real reasonable.” Board chair Kathryn Burton echoed Fagan’s request. “I’d appreciate some quick follow through,” Burton told Lightner. “It’s really important for the beautification of our community.” Lightner said she would work on getting the project moving faster. The proposed greenbelt faces a row of houses and is edged by the Los PenasquiSee PROJECT, Page 6

BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Hills board supports agriculture ordinance The city of San Diego is considering reforming its urban agriculture ordinances to legalize chicken hens, bees and miniature goats, improve opportunities to sell local produce and allow community gardens in residential zones to have sales. Representatives from an effort to get the ordinance changes passed by San Diego City Council on Jan. 31 visited the Torrey Hills planning board Jan. 17 to obtain its vote of support. Under the changes, beekeeping would be allowed, as would miniature goats and five female chickens within the setbacks of a home. “Chickens make great neighbors, they make great eggs,” said supporter Caroline Olsen Van-Stone. “All the changes in the ordinance are focused on making a more sustainable city and promoting greater health, what more could you want?” The board, overall, thought the proposal was a great idea and voted to support it 8-1.
Board member Kim Walker voted against the ordinance changes because while she supports sustainability, she didn’t like the idea of a chicken coop being allowed against her fence. She questioned if the ordinance passed, would homeowners associations (HOAs) would be able to overrule it. Board chair Kathryn Burton said yes, HOAs would be able to block these agriculture activities. “This ordinance really doesn’t have as much to do with Torrey Hills because of our HOAs as it does for other parts of the city who are very interested in urban agriculture,” Burton said, noting she saw great opportunities with the ordinance. New members appointed The Torrey Hills Community Planning board appointed two new members on Jan. 17. Martin Brum became the new Carmel Valley representative to replace John Dean. Todd Saier took the seat vacated by Rob Mullally, who moved out of the area. There is currently an opening on the board for a business seat. The next elections will be held in March.
CV planning board elections coming up The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board (CVCPB) is looking for volunteers to help fill several seats up for election and there are only a few meetings left to fulfill the two meeting attendance requirement for candidates to run. The election will be held on March 22, 2012, so potential candidates would need to attend the meetings on Thurs-
day, Jan. 26, or Thursday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Library, if they haven’t already attended meetings in the last 12 months. The CVCPB is a group of elected volunteers who meet monthly to review and to evaluate proposed development plans and isSee ELECTIONS, page 17

Increased access for all to healthcare, personal goal of new head of S.D. County Medical Society Foundation BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN As a child, growing up in Wilmette, Illinois, an upscale suburb of Chicago, Barbara Mandel recalls standing on street corners with a little container asking passersby for pennies, nickels and dimes. Not because she was poor, she wasn’t. Both of her parents were successful entrepreneurs. The money that Barbara collected was for a nonprofit that her mother founded with a group of friends to help combat polio. Her mother’s cousin had died of the disease that had reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. before Jonas Salk developed a safe and effective vaccine for the crippling, often fatal, disease. Philanthropy, community involvement and nonprofits were an important part of her upbringing, Mandel says — and still are. With more than 30 years’ experience in the healthcare and nonprofit fields, Mandel joined the San Diego County Medical Society Foundation last May as its executive director. Founded in 2004 by physician members of the San Diego County Medical Society, the nonprofit foundation is dedicated to increasing access to healthcare services for uninsured and under-
g i l a r u t. c om
insured adults through collaboration with volunteer physicians, community health clinics, hospitals and medical students. We interviewed Mandel in her hilltop, ocean-view home in Del Mar before she headed off to work at the foundation’s office on Ruffin Road in Kearny Mesa. Mandel has an M.B.A. in health services administration that she earned from Cal State San Marcos while raising a daughter and heading her own full-service advertising and public relations agency for 10 years that specialized in nonprofits. The medical society foundation’s flagship program, Project Access San Diego, launched three years ago, helps uninsured, unemployed patients who receive their primary care at community clinics gain access to the services of specialists when needed. One in four adults under 65 in San Diego county is without health insurance, Mandel said. “To date,” Mandel said, “we have served more than 1,300 people with medical appointments, procedures, surgeries, and have helped another 500 get health insurance.” The foundation also provides technical assistance to family physicians in small practices to set up

electronic medical record-keeping systems in their offices so that eventually they can be linked into a statewide health information exchange system that will enable hospitals, clinics, physicians and other healthcare workers to exchange patients’ medical records in a secure, private electronic way. Last year, the foundation launched e-ConsultSD, a secure Web-based program for physicians, primarily those in commu-
nity clinics, to consult with a volunteer specialist about a case to provide even better care for their patients. More than 600 specialists are available for the free consultations. Another program offered by the foundation to the public is the new “text4baby” service that sends free health information text messages three times a week to expectant and new parents. Born in Chicago, Mandel was the middle child in a family of three children. She comes by her entrepreneurial talent naturally. Her father, who started out as a salesman, founded a business automating greenhouses, and her mother owned and operated a furniture showroom in the Chicago Merchandise Mart for more than 25 years. After earning a bachelor’s degree in advertising and public relations from the University of Illinois in 1975, Mandel recalls, she interviewed for a job with the Oscar Mayer’s company in Madison, Wisconsin, and was asked how she would like to sell Oscar Mayer wieners. “I don’t think I could,” she replied. She decided, “That job wasn’t for me.” Wieners were obviously not her thing, nor were banks, as it turned out.

Her first job out of college was as a marketing assistant with the United Banks of Wisconsin “and within short order I recognized it wasn’t a really great fit.” It wasn’t until she secured a marketing position with the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), the trade association of state- and federally- chartered credit unions in the U.S., that she hit her stride. “Originally, credit unions were founded in the 1930s when the working guy couldn’t borrow money from banks.

Election 2012: Who is Brian Bilbray? Note: This newspaper group recently met with Brian Bilbray to discuss his candidacy and plans for the 52nd District. Interviews with the other Congressional candidates — Republicans John Stahl and Wayne Iverson, and Democrats Lori Saldaña and Scott Peters — will follow, with the exception of Peters, who is also featured in this issue (page 18). BY PAT SHERMAN San Diego Congressman Brian Bilbray, a native of Coronado and former tax preparer, served as mayor of Imperial Beach before moving on to spend a decade on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. From 1995 to 2001 the Republican represented San Diego’s 49th congressional district (today the 53rd) before his defeat by Democrat Susan Davis, then a state Assemblywoman. After leaving office that year, Bilbray registered as a Washington lobbyist. His clients included the San Diego Regional Airport Authority, Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, SDG&E, and the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a conservative, anti-immigration group. In 2006 Bilbray joined Congress again, this time in the 50th District, winning in a special election to replace disgraced fellow Republican Duke Cunningham, who is currently serving time in prison for felony conspiracy and tax evasion. An avid surfer, Bilbray has five children, one of which, Brian Patrick Bilbray, currently serves on the Imperial Beach City Council. Bilbray’s daughter, Briana, who battled Stage 3 melanoma, recently declared herself an advocate for medical marijuana dispensaries — something her father remains opposed to. Viewed as the only truly competitive congressional race in the San Diego region, political pundits will be eyeing 52nd District results closely. In the first of California’s open primary elections on June 5 — during which independents or “Decline to State” voters may cast their ballot for a candidate from any party — the race should be close, as the district is divided nearly evenly between Democrats, Republicans and Decline to State voters. We recently spoke with Bilbray via phone. What could you do with two more years in Congress that you haven’t accomplished or already had the chance to do? Bilbray: I have been placed back on the (House) Energy and Commerce Committee. ... I come back with congressional seniority, and, more importantly, the handson experience of working with the struggle and the in-
terrelationship between government and business in the process of trying to create economic Brian Bilbray opportunity while maintaining quality of life. … It’s a cooperative effort. (Democrat) Bob Filner and (Republican) Darrell Issa don’t necessarily work together, but (they’re) somebody that I’ve been able to work together with for years, basically, because we try to build on each other’s strong suits. … You’ve got Republicans, who know they don’t like regulation, but they don’t understand it. And you’ve got Democrats, who are in denial of the impact of inappropriate regulation on the ability of small business to create jobs. It was, like, 1995, when I introduced the bill to eliminate the mandate that you have to use ethanol, because the Democrats in Washington thought ethanol was good for the environment. Because of my background in the Air Resources Board I knew ethanol was bad in the ’90s. It didn’t take me a decade to learn that. That kind of practical experience of understanding the huge gap between the theory of what is good for the business community and the environment, and the practical application, that huge gap is something that you cannot just learn overnight. The only way you really learn it is by working with it hands on, which is the way I’ve done it over the years. La Jolla is one of the great powerhouses of biotech and high tech, and that is all administered through my committees. That is why you see me being very involved in FDA (Federal Drug Administration) reform, working on cancer breakthroughs, talking about the FDA and NIH (National Institutes of Health) working together with the private sector to create, not just the jobs that San Diego desperately needs, but the medical breakthroughs that save lives. Last month I came to the administrative assistant of the FDA and said, ‘Why wasn’t this melanoma scanner — something that could detect cancer when a dermatologist couldn’t — denied a review process?’ The guy had to admit in public session that it was a major mistake. This was a mistake that not only kept a local business from being able to sell its product, but it was a mistake that was denying citizens the ability to protect themselves
from a deadly disease. Sometimes they even admit they make mistakes. I think Washington doesn’t do that enough. How do you plan to differentiate yourself as a candidate in the 52nd congressional district, where the vote is split almost evenly between Democrats, Republicans and undeclared voters? Bilbray: I come from the undeclared background. I used to be an independent voter myself. Frankly, (then and current Gov.) Jerry Brown drove me over into the Republican ticket. I think the biggest issue is … (that) nobody elects a political party. They elect individuals. People matter, and the backbone and the core of politics should be people. Fifty years from now my grandchildren and great grandchildren won’t give a darn about a Republican or a Democrat, but they will worry about how strong an economy they have or how safe they are and how clean an environment they have. The one thing I got in the habit of doing when I was a county supervisor and mayor was, you learn to vote the issue; you don’t vote the party. Some tout you as a maverick who is tough on immigration and has strong conservative credentials, while others have criticized you as a RINO (Republican In Name Only) who has received low marks from some conservative organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation. Bilbray: (Laughs.) Some people call me a squishy moderate. I like to think of myself as a radical incrementalist. I believe in America the things that are done right and that last are done in small, incremental steps. We’re not a radical country and I think extremists on both sides injure, not only the nation, but themselves. You’ve got to keep your eyes open and your mind open and I think that too often the extreme left and the extreme right do neither. I think there are too many people in politics who think that being right is all that matters. … I think we should keep our minds open. Sometimes the answer to problems comes from a different direction. We’ve seen partisan gridlock in Washington (and in California) for a long time. How would you, if given another two years, help to build consensus? Bilbray: Like it or not, the voters have created an environment where you need to try to work with people in the other party. So, you try to find those things you may SEE BILBRAY, PAGE 14
Keep Talking, We’re Listening One Paseo is the result of hundreds of conversations with our Carmel Valley neighbors. We heard that as the last piece of the Community Plan, you wanted a place to gather – a Main Street with restaurants, shops, movies and a specialty grocery store with great parking. For a Main Street to work, there needs to be a synergy of people living and working there. So we hired the nation’s best planners and designers to create something special. Our plan for One Paseo is just that: a special place. Yet we’re not done listening. As the City completes the environmental review in the coming months, we want to continue the conversation with you. Please join us for a series of informal small group meetings. To sign up for a meeting, visit onepaseo.com .

PROJECT continued from page 1
tos Canyon Preserve. Torrey Hills was very limited about what could go into the property, as space has to be reserved for SDG&E and part of the land is considered environmentally sensitive and protected by the city’s Multi-Habitat Planning Area. A restoration is really the only thing that can be done—the open space will be refreshed with native plants, stacked native rocks and boulders and a decomposed granite trail will wind through the property and link users to canyon trails across the street. In one area that is out of the MHPA, a trellis area is planned where people can sit and look out over the canyon. Funding for the project is already taken care of as the Torrey Hills Maintenance Assessment District
(MAD), which residents pay into to be able to receive special benefits above what the city provides, is flush with reserve funding. “The current status is pretty much the same from October,” said Andrew Field, MAD assistant deputy director for the city of San Diego. The environmental agency is still reviewing the project and progress is slowed by the observation of a vernal pool on the lot. “If a vernal pool emerges, it has to be measured for a buffer zone,” Field explained, which would mean a tweaking of the plans. Fagan asked if the city knows if the vernal pool area is located much further down than the proposed park but Field said it would depend on how big the buffer zone will need to be. The vernal pool status will be determined at the end of the rainy season in April.

Del Mar Mesa planning board briefs; Jan. 12 meeting BY SUZANNE EVANS Community group representative comments on proposed One Paseo project Carmel Valley resident Bob Fuchs, a representative for “What Price Main Street,” an advocacy group of concerned citizens, appeared Jan. 12 before the Del Mar Mesa Planning Group to voice his group’s reservations about the proposed One Paseo project’s impact on the community. One Paseo is a proposed mixed-use development planned for the 23-acre parcel at the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real. As he did at a recent presentation before the Del Mar City Council (reported in the Jan. 12 issue of this newspaper, www.delmartimes.net), Fuchs said his group is concerned about the scale of the Kilroy Realty project — 1,852,000 square feet, he said — as well as issues such as character, congestion and density increase. “I talk to groups that have no idea how big the project is. It is a tremendous increase in density,” Fuchs said, noting Kilroy’s previous “pretty renderings that obscure” One Paseo’s “massive proportions.” “(Kilroy) is soliciting support, and we don’t know what the facts are,” Fuchs said. Although Mesa board chair Gary Levitt has previously praised Kilroy’s use of form based code’s modern principles that shape public areas to invite pedestrian use and social interaction with lush landscaping and walkable neighborhoods, he said he is now concerned about “a scale that seems completely out of proportion.” Board member Lisa Ross emphasized, “Once the plans get approved, they go to [the city’s] substantial conformance review (to determine if the mitigation complies with the objectives, standards, guidelines, and conditions for a permit). After the Mesa meeting, Fuchs commented, “There are ingenious ways to present traffic to make the project look good. [The What Price MainStreet group] wanted to get traffic information early, but Kilroy ignores this and gives no traffic figures.” However, in the draft environmental report (DEIR) in February, their version of traffic figures will come out for a 45-day comment period. We will try to analyze and disseminate that information and if people are opposed, they can voice their opposition.” While representatives from both Kilroy and Atlantis Group, a land-use consulting firm, were not present at the Mesa meeting, they did attend the recent Del Mar City Council meeting. At that meeting, they did not back up the numbers/contentions presented by Fuchs, saying that environmental impact, market and traffic studies are still ongoing and no definitive numbers have been approved by the City of San Diego. A draft environmental impact report on the project is expected to be out for public review in the next few weeks, at which time residents and community organizations will have the opportunity to comment on the project. For more information on the project, visit the developer’s website at www.onepaseo.com and the “What Price Main Street” site at www.whatpricemainstreet.com. Stop sign needed? Placing a stop sign at Rancho Toyon Place and Del Vino Court in eastern Del Mar was discussed. At the November meeting, board members complained of cars constantly not stopping, screeching tires, and honking horns at night. The board agreed the matter needs to be discussed with nearby residents, and then vote to bring the dangerous situation to the city’s attention. Board member Trey Nolan said it was more a matter of people not paying attention and speeding rather than needing a three-way stop sign, adding, “Why penalize everyone for the few that go through (the sign)?” Chair Gary Levitt said, “Another traffic island or bump may be all that is needed.” Board member Paul Metcalf said all that may be needed is for the police to start ticketing for a few days.

WRITERS continued from page 1
The way the site works is this: a writer who has a script or proposal for a new show pays a membership fee of $40 per month, which allows him or her to post the idea on the site. A roster of television executives, now numbering more than 300 strong, visits the site regularly to search for ideas with the potential of being the next big hit. The industry types who troll the site for ideas represent such networks and production companies as CBS, ABC, Fox and Fremantle Media North America, which produces “American Idol,” Manville said. “We have the top industry executives involved,” he said. Oliver Bogner, an independent producer based in Los Angeles, said he visits the site all the time, and is negotiating with a major cable network for a show that he discovered through a contact he made on The TV Writers Vault. “I think it’s a resource that allows people from all over the country, and all walks of life, to get in touch with people in Hollywood that are actually making things happen,” Bogner said. Since the site was launched, more than 10,000 people have submitted ideas, some of them making multiple pitches. While Manville said anyone with a good idea has an opportunity to get noticed by a television producer through the site, the odds are long — so far, about 30 writers have signed option deals with production companies, meaning the company pays a small fee for exclusive rights to an idea. The company then must find a network willing to finance the production. “We’re selling TV shows, not vacuum cleaners. So it’s a tough thing,” he said. In some cases, pilots are shot for shows that never make it to air. Two shows from TV Writers Vault have made it into full production and broadcast: One, called

“Deals from the Dark Side,” features two men who drive around in a hearse, searching for “dark treasures,” such as Jack the Ripper’s knife, or a robe worn by a monk from the Spanish Inquisition. The show is currently airing in Canada and will soon land on a U.S. network, Manville said. The second show, about chainsaw sculptors, is called “Saw Dogs” and is airing on Discovery’s Velocity Channel. Among the ideas that have been pitched on the site are a sitcom about dogs; a man who sells boats and sails around the world to deliver them to his customers; a family that wanted to film their reunion with long-lost relatives in Germany; and a former professional wrestler who runs a used car lot with three brothers. While writers can pitch any kind of TV show on the site, from a game show to a drama, about 70 percent of the activity revolves around “reality-based projects,” about an interesting business, profession, lifestyle or unique family situation, Manville said. One popular current example is “Gold Rush,” about a group of amateur prospectors in Alaska, which airs on the Discovery Channel. Manville, 40, runs the website from the home he shares with his wife, Jessica, and twin toddlers Chance and Chelsea. Before launching the website, Manville worked as head of development for Merv Griffin Entertainment. Along with making his living in the television development business, Manville counts himself as a major fan of the reality genre. “I’m addicted to all these shows. I love them,” he said. “Seeing a real person face a real challenge and getting to see an unexpected result in real time will always be more interesting” than a fictional drama, he said. For 2012, Manville’s goal is to launch a similar site in the U.K., which he said also has a huge appetite for reality-based programming. limit. “I think it’s a great idea to move the speed limit to 40. I feel it’s difficult to drive 30 on that street,” Fagan said, noting that he averages about 37 miles per hour in that location.

The reality of extreme weather: Part 2 Note: On Dec. 13, a public forum was held at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) where climate experts discussed California’s vulnerability to extreme weather events. Part One of the report on the meeting (printed in the Jan. 12 issue of this newspaper) examined the range of extreme events predicted to impact the state. Part Two considers: What can be done?
BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Catastrophic, extreme weather events – floods, droughts, heat waves, high winds, and associated wildfires – will be more prevalent this century in California as a result of climate change. “Climate describes a system with a set of possible outcomes,” said Tony Westerling, a UC Merced researcher who received his doctoral degree at SIO. “How we view the outcome depends on how we’ve placed our bets.” Hedging those bets calls for “adaptation planning,” a combination of proactive measures at the community, state, and federal level to slow the progression of climate change together with reactive measures to mitigate property damage, the risk to life, and the economic effects of an extreme event. “The important thing is, we aren’t trying to model just one particular future,” Westerling said. “We are trying to understand a
very broad range of possible futures, so that we can see where outcomes are very certain, work on reducing critical uncertainties, and help people make smart choices for the future.” Proactive measures begin with rigorous scientific research along with which have come technology advances leading to insights into major weather events. Take for example, winter storms fueled by moisture-laden “atmospheric rivers” (ARs), a key source of the rain and snow in the Western states. ARs often deliver the majority of California’s precipitation in intense storms causing flooding in coastal regions and inland mountains having devastating effects on people and property. “These storms are now better understood,” said Marty Ralph, a climate researcher at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). “There are prospects for several days’ lead time to know when these events are going to hit California.” This means that emergency measures already undertaken by government agencies and citizens for earthquake preparedness – laying in emergency food and water, shelter preparations, regional communications networks, mutual aid agreements – would be useful in preparing for a severe winter storm.
Sea-level rise and associated coastal flooding and erosion will also become more acute in the future. Current responses include “hard” technical solutions (concrete and steel seawalls) as well as “soft” solutions (SANDAG beachsand replenishment). But are they the best solutions? There are gaps between adaptation need and action, according to Susanne Moser, a research fellow at Stanford University and consultant, whose work focuses on adaptation to climate change, climate change communication, social change, and the interaction between scientists, policy makers, and the public. Moser conducted a survey this year of California Coastal Managers and found that 10 percent have not undertaken any climate change adaptation planning, 40 percent understand the need, 41 percent have begun planning, and only nine percent are implementing an adaptation plan. In ranking factors that motivated coastal managers to develop a plan, surprisingly having experienced a recent extreme event was at the bottom of the list. More motivating were state and federal legislative mandates, undertaking adaptation planning as part of a general plan update, or available funding for the planning process. Barriers to adaptation planning, as perceived by local coastal
professionals in California, include insufficient staff resources to analyze and assess relevant information, current pressing issues are all consuming, no funding to prepare a plan, and lack of public demand to take adaptation action. Interestingly, “technical issues” and “science is uncertain” are not seen by managers as barriers to planning, according to Moser. What about tackling climate change itself? If there is a bright spot to the dire news about the state’s climate future, it’s that California has taken the lead in U.S. efforts to combat climate change. For example, Assembly Bill 32 (the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) was enacted into law to establish a comprehensive program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources throughout the state. The SIO extreme-climate forum was held at the behest of Gov. Jerry Brown as part of a series of events on climate change that the State of California is undertaking over the next several months with the goal of guiding contingency plans for extremeweather disaster response. PDFs from the individual presentations are available at http://sio.ucsd. edu/extreme_climate. Workshop videos have been posted on the SIO website. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Students’ art to benefit families in need at ‘Hearts for Healing’event BY DIANE Y. WELCH Several students in San Diego have poured their hearts into an art project that has not only produced high quality works of art on canvas, but that will also benefit many families in San Diego County who require support for their medical needs. The art was created in student workshops headed up by Gerrit Greve, a local professional fine artist. It will be auctioned off on Sunday, Jan. 29, from 1-4 p.m. at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. The Hearts for Healing art event is the major annual fundraiser for Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD), a private nonprofit community clinic organization that is an integral part of San Diego’s healthcare safety net. Since 1970, FHCSD’s mission has been to provide caring, affordable, high quality healthcare and supportive services to everyone, with a special commitment to uninsured, low income and medically underserved persons, according to its website. It operates 30 locations throughout the County of San Diego, including 15 primary care clinics, three dental clinics, an
Gerrit Greve, left, with Emily Graham HIV clinic, and three mobile medical units which provide healthcare services at approximately 70 community sites. The artwork selected for the fundraising event was made possible through the Hearts for Healing program, which enables students in local schools to take part in fine art workshops during school time. It is now in its fourth year. “The uniqueness of this program is the community involvement. Before the students even pick up a pencil they are told what this project is about,” said Greve. Consequently students are excited about how their work will help others.
“They are going to be giving up their artwork and this is a unique concept for kids,” added Greve. “They are creating something beautiful and special to then give it away to benefit someone else. I ask the children to put their hearts into their work, which is a critical part of the project.” Work on display at the benefit event, some of which will be auctioned by a professional auctioneer, has been produced by children ranging in age from 3 to 17 years and includes students from R. Roger Rowe School in Rancho Santa Fe, Valley Middle School in Carlsbad, and San Dieguito
Academy in Encinitas. It also includes art created by students from Greve’s summer Cardiff studio workshops. The summer studio program, which is free, facilitates Greve teaching his workshop aides who then are able to teach Hearts for Healing in other local schools. More than 200 works of art will be part of the event silent and live auction. The students’ art is produced on professional grade canvasses, using high quality archival acrylic paints. While most of the pieces reflect a heart motif, some of them take their inspiration from healing waters and from natural elements like trees. In conjunction with the canvasses, keepsake books are for sale. The books include photographs of each student’s piece
along with a brief personal biography and a heart felt artist’s statement, said Greve. If pieces are left over from the auction they will be donated to FHCSD for its beautification project where the work will be permanently exhibited in clinic facilities county-wide. For those with winning bids, they may also choose to donate the pieces back to FHCSD. Tickets cost $30 per person and $15 for children under 12. There will be live music, refreshments, hors d’oeuvres and a hosted bar. Visit http://www.fhcsd.org/hearts-forhealing/ for more information and to purchase tickets.

BILBRAY continued from page 5 agree on and build a relationship on those things you agree on. It’s like immigration issue. Democrats are not going to support a whole lot of things, but for God’s sakes they darn-well should be supporting cracking down on not giving tax deductions to people who are hiring illegals, not rewarding businessmen who are breaking the law by hiring people who are illegal. You know, a lot of Republicans may not be comfortable cracking down on the employers because that’s where they get a lot of their political support. You don’t need to attack the immigrants, you don’t have to be anti-Latino, but you genuinely have to crack down on the real culprit here, and that’s the businessman who is (importing) the cheap labor. What is your view of amnesty programs of illegal immigrants? Bilbray: My view is that they should come to the border and have to recover bodies the way I have. I’m the only member of congress that has rescued illegals when they’re drowning. … For anybody in the federal government to be talking about and announc-
Carmel Valley News ing to the world that we are going to create a special reward for those who have broken our laws is as immoral as proposing to build a candy store in the middle of the freeway and then being shocked when children get hurt. … Giving amnesty to stop illegal immigration is as logical as drilling a whole in the bottom of a boat to drain it out. It just shows you do not understand the dynamics of (the issue). What do you view as your opponents’ primary deficiencies and how would your tack be different? Bilbray: I’m really not looking at any of my opponents. I don’t see us really running against each other. We’re running for the seat. … I look more at what is the opportunity and the challenge that we’re going to have in the next two years in this country—and it is going to be horrendous. I don’t see anybody whose announced for the seat who has shown that they can really rise above the political partisanship. They all say I can do it, but they’ve either not been in the political environment and understand how absolutely absurd it is, or they’ve been there and they’ve proven that they’re more politically absurd than even the situation in Washington. It’s pretty scary when Sacramen-
to and City Hall can make Washington look good. You’ve been criticized for your time as a lobbyist after you left congress in 2001. Bilbray: I focused on working with nonprofit groups, mostly, that I really believed in, that I worked with when I was in office. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, I feel strongly about the immigration issue and I was able to participate in that. … Almost all of my contracts that I was working with were either government or nonprofit organizations. Very few (in the) private sector were even involved, as far as I know. I did stuff like trying to get power links and utility links, and that was one of the few private sector things, and even that was tied directly to something I felt strongly about — access to reliable energy for San Diego County. One of your major priorities in this race is getting Americans back to work. How do you plan to do that? Bilbray: The federal government needs to be an ally and an aid at working with the private sector to create the next generation of, not just new jobs, but also great health breakthroughs. … We’ve also got to maintain the venture capital that actually takes the research that

It takes a lot more than just good intentions, because we’re actually going to decide what kind of America we leave our grandchildren in the next few years. I honestly believe we’re really at a tipping point where America, through its representatives, are going to really make some watershed decisions of where we want to go.

Philanthropic student adds Eagle Scout rank to list of achievements BY TESS WALLENSTEIN “Knowing that you’re serving other people cancels out every challenge,” says Cathedral Catholic High School senior Clayton Jaksha. In many ways, this idea sums up Clayton’s way of life which, although he is just 17, has been marked by a spirit of giving back to his community. Clayton was honored for his most recent service on Jan. 7 when friends, family, and fellow Boy Scouts gathered for his Eagle Scout ceremony at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar. Eagle Scout is the highest rank available within the Boy Scouts of America program, which Clayton has been a part of since he joined Del Mar’s Troop 713 as an elementary school student. Since then, he has risen through the ranks to become Senior Patrol Leader during his sophomore year and a member of the Boy Scout’s National Honor Society, called the Order of the Arrow. “[Eagle Scout] is a capstone, a summation of everything you’ve done earlier as a Boy Scout.” explains Clayton. In order to reach the level of an Eagle Scout, scouts must meet several requirements, which include participating in a Scoutmas-
‘I want to serve my country, not for glory, but to be able to preserve other people’s freedoms.’ CLAYTON JAKSHA
Cathedral Catholic senior ter conference and undergoing a board of review process. The most extensive requirement, however, is a service project which the scout must spearhead from start to finish. For his, Clayton designed and directed the construction of planting boxes and benches at Notre Dame Academy’s preschool, a project that he devoted 250 hours to. Eagle Scout is not the only honor that Clayton has earned during his senior year of high school. After undergoing what he describes as a very intimidating review process, Clayton received a nomination from Congressman Brian Bilbray to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, located in upstate New York. Upon his graduation from West Point, Clayton will become an active-duty member of the Army and, in doing so, will continue a family tradition of military service.
“I want to serve my country, not for glory, but to be able to preserve other people’s freedoms,” says Clayton, who plans to study electrical engineering. He hopes to “use these skills in the field to do whatever the Army needs.” Aside from his extensive career as an Eagle Scout and working towards earning his West Point nomination, Clayton is active within the Cathedral Catholic community. He started the Service Academy and ROTC Club at Cathedral Catholic, was on the varsity wrestling team for three years, and is a member of the National Honor Society and Model UN. While he acknowledges that his spare time is limited these days, he enjoys playing the guitar, piano and cello, as well as hanging out with his friends. In June, he will graduate as the valedictorian of his class, before he continues his life of service at West Point this fall.

Sycamore Ridge students learn to prepare for emergencies BY KAREN BILLING Sycamore Ridge fourth graders learned that in case of an emergency “Don’t be scared, be prepared” when the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services visited the school on Monday, Jan. 9 Representatives from the American Red Cross, San Diego Fire and Rescue, and San Diego County’s Department of Animal Services and Department of Health and Human Services helped educate the students on being ready for disasters such as fires, earthquakes or blackouts. Children learned about evacuation plans for their homes, first aid kits, emergency precautions for pets and the importance of maintaining their everyday health by washing their hands and covering their coughs. At the conclusion of the program, kids received a certificate and disaster preparedness information to share with their parents.

Carmel Valley News
Election 2012: Who is Scott Peters? Note: This newspaper group recently met with Scott Peters to discuss his candidacy and plans for the 52nd District. Interviews with the other Congressional candidates — Republicans Brian Bilbray, John Stahl and Wayne Iverson, and Democrat Lori Saldaña — will follow, with the exception of Bilbray who is also featured in this issue (page 5).
BY PAT SHERMAN Scott Peters, who represented Carmel Valley community during two terms on the San Diego City Council, (2000-2008) hopes to once again represent Carmel Valley as representative of the newly redrawn 52nd congressional district, which spans from Poway and Scripps Ranch southwest through Mira Mesa, Clairemont, University City, Scott Peters La Jolla, Pacific Beach, part of downtown San Diego and Coronado. Peters, a Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for city attorney in 2008 and who currently serves as chair of the San Diego Port District’s Board of Commissioners, has received the endorsement of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council, former Congresswoman Lynn Schenk, former state Senator Dede Alpert, state Assembly members Toni Atkins, Mary Block and Ben Hueso, and San Diego City Councilman Todd Gloria. A lawyer by profession who served as the city council’s first president, Peters worked as an economist for the Environmental Protection Agency before receiving his juris doctorate from New York University. In the early 1990s, he got his first government job in the county counsel’s office, then joined the San Diego City Council in 2000. He lives in La Jolla with Lynn, his wife of 25 years, and his two children. Peters’ chief opponent in the race is Congressman Brian Bilbray, a Republican, currently serving in the 50th District. In the first of California’s open primary elections on June 5 — during which independents or “Decline to State” voters may cast their ballot for a candidate from any party — the race is bound to be close. The candidates will surely be working hard to court their share of the district’s one-third of undeclared voters. Why are you bypassing a run for a state-level office to seek a position in Congress? Peters: My opponent (Congressman Brian Bilbray) went from the County Board of Supervisors to Congress, so I’m not sure that it’s a ladder. The opportunity came to me with the redrawing of the district. It’s a moderate district, that includes my council district, and at a time when a problemsolving approach is probably what people are looking for — which is what I am intending to bring — we have a lot of passion in Washington. We just don’t have any progress. So, that’s why I think the opportunity is here for me. I think it’s a good match to have someone like me … represent San Diego in a way that’s a little less stridently partisan than we see in Washington. Some have championed you as a can-do politician who has accomplished much as a city council member and as chair of the port commission, while others have criticized your methods of getting things done as heavy-handed or not in step with the wishes of the greater public. How do you view your style and what have you learned from your experiences in office? Peters: I am only in this to get stuff done. The only reason I would ever do public service is to make positive change. I’m proud of the changes that we’ve brought at the city and at the Port, and the other communities that I’ve represented. I always listen to what people have to say for input, and there comes a time then when we have to take action, and I’ve always taken action. Sometimes when people don’t get every single thing that they want, they say there should have been more public input, but I will tell you that I’ve always said: you can learn so much from public input, and then there’s a certain point (where) you realize you’re hearing the same things, you’ve learned what you’re going to learn and there’s a time to take action and (come up with) a solution and that’s what I do. … I suspect that the approach that we’ve taken here in San Diego to listen, work with people, listen for solutions and make progress is the same approach I’d take in Washington. I don’t do it for parties; I don’t do it for a title. I’m not interested in flying six hours across the country, twice a week. We leave San Diego to make this country better. How do you plan to differentiate yourself as a candidate in the 52nd congressional district? How will you appeal to the one-third of undeclared voters? Peters: The most obvious thing about Congress is it’s
not getting anything done. There are people on the right, people on the left, who are not talking to each other. We can do better. We can bring the approach we’ve brought in San Diego, which is known for being collaborative, known for being problem solving. … What people are craving are solutions, not arguments. We’ve seen partisan gridlock in Washington (and in California) for a long time. How can one member of Congress begin to find consensus? Peters: My wife said, ‘Can you really make a difference?’ I think you can’t make a difference if you don’t go. … I’m not going to suggest to you that I think that’s going to be easy in Washington, but people all over this country are having the same discussion. People all over this country are fed up with politicians who are arguing, and not solving problems, and I suspect there’s going to be more than just me going to Washington with the mindset of getting something done. I think that certainly the mood of the country is demanding answers and that means we’re at a time when listening and compromise and crafting solutions is going to be more politically popular and possible. As a Democrat, are there any members of Congress on the other side of the aisle who you think might be allies to building that bridge? Peters: I haven’t made my trip to Washington yet. I’m really focused on San Diego. I’ll look forward to meeting them. I’ll work with anybody. I hear there’s a group of about 10 or 12 members of Congress of different parties who eat lunch together once a week. Obviously that number is pathetically low, out of 435. But those are the kinds of bridges I’d like to build. You’ve been characterized as both a moderate Democrat and a centrist? Do you agree with the labels? Peters: I actually hate labels, because on any particular issue I would like to be viewed on the merit of my position. What happens is if you have a (D) next to your name and you don’t go left wing every time? People start to think, well, you’re a centrist. I really try to find where the answer is. I have a history of working with real estate developers to make neighborhoods better. Real estate developers are certainly a very core part of the Republican constituency, but if they’ll help me to achieve my goal, I’ll work with them. And if that means I’m labeled as a centrist, then so be it. What do you view as your opponents’ primary deficiencies and how would your tack be different? Peters: Brian has been in Congress, he’s had 12 years of seniority. He’s not become a leader. Whatever you think of Darrell Issa — he’s personally too conservative for my tastes — he’s become a leader, and we’ve had congressional leaders and Brian’s just not exercising the kind of leadership in Congress that we’d like. He’s been particularly partisan. He’s taken pledges to special interest groups and he’s taken positions that are out of touch with where our district is. He’s been more of the strident political kind of person we’ve had in Congress, and not the problem solver, so I would take different approaches. I don’t criticize his service. I just think we can do better. Two of your priorities in the race are creating jobs in the region and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. What is your experience in these areas and how would you achieve these goals as a member of Congress? Peters: As chair of the Port, we were responsible for, directly and indirectly, about 42,000 jobs. The jobs we have at the waterfront are, on average, paying $10,000 more than the average job in San Diego. We’re an
important part of the economy. In that role, we’ve worked with our tenants and our stakeholders to make sure that we’re continuing to drive the economy, whether it’s protecting the jobs at Solar Turbines or helping our tenants down their rent during the recession. … It’s about jobs and job creation, and even the things we do to make the waterfront pretty, like the North Embarcadero plan we’re about to start, are also ways to drive tourism and help our local hotels and businesses. … In terms of the federal government, it will be a lot of that kind of listening to the business community about what’s important, but I do know what’s important — getting the federal budget in balance, and as long as we have that continuing debt, that’s going to be a drain on all of us. … I intend to be a part of that conversation and help to drive us to a solution. I’m really involved pretty heavily in a lot of things having to do with reducing the need for energy consumption. Most recently, I’ve been the chair of the Climate Initiative at the San Diego Foundation, which is trying to help us prevent and deal with the impacts of climate change in the region. Part of that is supporting SANDAG’s effort to create a sustainable community strategy that will plan for carbon reduction, lower vehicle miles traveled as we grow, because we’re going to add another million people in the next 20 to 30 years. So, we want to make sure that they get around without using as much energy — and also that we pay attention to retrofitting homes so that they use less energy. Also I’ve been involved as a member of the board of directors of the Walkable and Livable Communities Institute that is focused on trying to build out communities. Bird Rock is an example they used in their national organization in a way that promotes walkability and bicycling, which is healthier and also uses less oil and gas. You’ve had to answer questions about your 2002 vote to underfund the city’s pension plan in this race and when you ran for city attorney. What have you learned from that experience that you could use to be a more effective Congressional representative? Peters: The experience we’ve had here in San Diego is going to be lessons we can take to Washington that are really going to be useful. We did make mistakes early in my term, with respect to the pension, did these same kinds of things that the city had been doing for decades, then realized that they were mistakes, acknowledge that, and then set about to fix them. We paneled a pension reform commission to give us recommendations. We hired two outside experts, big firms, to give us recommendations on what to do to fix it. We followed those recommendations, and at the end of all that, I can go into all the different steps we took, but the SEC’s (Security and Exchange Commission’s) own monitor said that San Diego was a model for other cities to use for financial reform. In Washington you’ve got a lot of problems with benefits and entitlements where people have been doing these things, people have found themselves in a little bit of a hole, but they don’t want to acknowledge it. And what we found in San Diego is that the longer you wait, the worse it gets. You acknowledge the problem and then sit around a table honestly and figure out a way to deal with it. That’s the experience that San Diego’s had that other cities and states are just starting to deal with, because this is a nationwide issue, pension funding, but Washington hasn’t started to deal with this issue, so maybe we could help.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Trying to bring ‘sunlight’ to fair board should be applauded Concerning the potential conflict of interest involving the Del Mar Fair board’s Tom Chino, I was dismayed that the proponent of open meetings was the recipient of such harsh and focused criticism. Mr. Chino’s reasonable suggestion that all committee meetings and meetings with state and federal representatives be noticed and open to the public certainly seemed worthy of discussion. Instead, Mr. Chino came under attack by his fellow board members and the Deputy Attorney General, all of
whom seem more interested in castigating Mr. Chino rather than debate his proposal to open meetings to the public. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once opined that “Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” Mr. Chino, a renowned local farmer, deserves the support of the community for trying to bring a little “sunlight” to the fair board.

OBITUARIES
Merrill Kenneth Albert, Esq. 1923 – 2011 Merrill Kenneth Albert, Esq., distinguished U.C. Berkeley undergraduate and law school alumnus, World War II veteran, and writer who rose from an orphanage to become one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after trial attorneys, has died at age 88. Mr. Albert, a long-time resident of the Rancho Santa Fe Inn in Rancho Santa Fe, California, died December 23, 2011, in
Del Mar, California. He had been in the midst of publishing his third and fourth books when he died unexpectedly of heart disease. Born on April 19, 1923, in New Haven, Connecticut, Mr. Albert was left in an orphanage in Oakland, California, with his brother at age 7 and never saw his mother again. Known as Merrill “Smith” at the time, he lived in several foster homes during the Great Depression until he found a more permanent foster home with the Tuckers of Oakland. California Mr. Albert graduated from Oakland Tech High School in 1940 with high honors and was accepted at U.C. Berkeley. After completing his freshman year, he joined the Merchant Marines at the outbreak of World War II. He then discovered in a birth certificate that his true last name was Albert, not, Smith. Over
the next several years, he rose to the rank of First Mate on a “Liberty” ship of 500 men, and later obtained his Captain’s papers. After an honorable discharge from the Merchant Marines, Mr. Albert re-enrolled at Berkeley. He pledged with the Sigma Nu fraternity, which elected him its President, and was elected Captain of the Berkeley varsity tennis team for two straight years. A distinguished student at Cal – graduating with as BS in Accounting with Highest Distinction – Mr. Albert was then accepted into Boalt Hall School of Law (Berkeley Law). At law school, Mr. Albert supported himself by publishing his course outlines through the Berkeley Law School. He was elected Articles Editor of the California Law Review, which published several of his scholarly articles. He graduated sixth in the Berkeley Law class of 1955. He met Caryl B. Hansen, a beautiful and intelligent Mills College student, in a coffee shop in Berkeley and they were married in 1956. The marriage
lasted for ten years and they had three children, Christopher Michael Albert of Oakland, California, Katherine Mary Albert (Stulberg) of Cayucos, California, and Mark Anchor Albert, Esq. of Los Angeles, California. During the next 35 years practicing law as a trial attorney in Los Angeles, Mr. Albert tried over 300 jury cases to verdict. His clients included the Southern Pacific Transportation Company, Santa Fe Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, and the Regents of the University of California. His brilliant and at times theatrical trial tactics resulted in numerous defense verdicts for his clients and ample press coverage. His passions were tennis, bridge, horseracing, and writing and he excelled at each of them. Until he was 60 years old, he continued to win amateur tennis championships, and also won the California State
Bar Bridge Championship with his brother-in-law, Raymond Hansen. Mr. Albert also loved Opera and had a beautiful tenor’s voice, singing at the weddings of many of his friends. Albert was a member of the Santa Anita Turf Club for over two decades and spent many enjoyable weekends there with friends and family. He owned 13 Thoroughbred racehorses over the years, taking great pride in naming them and watching them in early morning workouts at the Santa Anita and Del Mar tracks. His racehorses won many stake races, including the San Marino Handicap in 1972 (Niagara). At retirement he found a new passion in writing. He wrote his first novel at the age of 75, “The Big Casino,” and a collection of essays and short stories, “2012 Ushers in the Age of Fire (and other short stories),” at the age of 85. He was excited about the prospect of publishing two more
books at the time of his death. A tough, tender, and elegant man who lived a fiercely private and independent life, he will be sadly missed by his family, especially his three children, Chris, Katy and Mark, and his four grandchildren, Alexandra Albert, age 20, Elizabeth Stulberg, age 8, Victoria Stulberg, age 8, and Marlene Albert, age 7, as well as his beloved friend, Roberta Hughes. Burial at sea will be followed by a private memorial service. A separate Celebration of Life ceremony will be held in late February 2012 in Downtown Los Angeles.

Next, outside Center Jones made a perfect pass to Pickwell who bulled in for a try to make the score 170. Fargo had two trys on the day, and Brian Hollenbeck, a Torrey Pines senior had another to start the second half. Two-hundred-and-sixty-pound forward David Lederer unveiled a kicking skill that had escaped the attention of previous football and rugby coaches. He eschewed the kicking tee on extra points, and used a dropkick technique that was last popular in the 1930s. “I’m old school,” said Lederer. He had 10 points on five successful 2-point conversions. Lederer combined with seniors Michael Tillson and Brent Sanders, and juniors Grant McGahey and Derek Lipincyzk, to provide some old-school tough play in the middle. Torrey Pines consistently won the push on rucks and scrums. With 10 minutes left, a Torrey Pines forward was exiled to the “sin bin” for tackling a player without the ball. Torrey Pines was playing a man down, and Del Norte took advantage of the situation to drive the ball to the one-meter line. With its unblemished (no points al-
lowed) season on the line with 10 minutes left, the Torrey Pines defense put up furious resistance as Del Norte worked hard to gain six inches at a time. Each attempt ending in a stop, a ruck (where players push to cover their fallen teammate in order to maintain possession or capture the ball) another recovery, and another attempt. Torrey Pines flanker Jonathan Raby was especially active in the furious defensive series, preventing scores on several attempts. Ryan Hoffman, stellar senior hooker, and the team’s best tackler, kept the defense organized and aggressive. After three minutes of intense action all crammed into about 20 square feet of space, Torrey Pines managed to get the ball and punt downfield to regain some real estate. An exhausting few minutes later, the whistle finally blew to end the contest. The Torrey Pines JV defeated the Del Norte JV 21-12, coming back from a 7-0 halftime deficit. The JV squad was led by Seth Hill, who always plays much bigger than his 150 pounds. The JV is now 3-1, and eying the playoffs themselves. Torrey Pines plays the San Pasqual High School Eagles Friday, Jan. 20, under the lights at San Pasqual High School.

Q & A: William Mobley earns international acclaim for Down syndrome research William C. Mobley is a Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosciences at UCSD School of Medicine. He also serves as Executive Director of the UCSD Down Syndrome Center for Research and Treatment. He came to UCSD in June 2009 from Stanford University where he served as the John E. Cahill Family professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, and Dr. William C. Mobley was the founding director of the Neuroscience Institute. He has an international reputation for his research on degenerative disease of the central nervous system, and his work on the neurobiology of Down syndrome has brought new insights into the disease, including possible treatments. In December, he received the International Sisley-Jérôme Lejeune Prize for his work. The award is named for the scientist who discovered the extra chromosome 21 responsible for Down syndrome. Dr. Mobley earned his Ph.D. and M.D. degrees from Stanford University, and completed a residency and fellowship in neurology and pediatric neurology at The Johns Hopkins University. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and in 2006 was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. What brought you to this area? It was the opportunity to join the terrific faculty in neurosciences at UCSD. This is just a fabulous place to work for the well being of patients with neurological disorders and for integrating clinical activities with the great science that goes on here. Who or what inspires you? There are so many people in my life that play this role, my wife Gretchen; my sons Bret, Blake and Tyler; my daughters-in-law Allison, Sarah and Megan; and my wonderful grandchildren Harrison, Harper and Finn. And beyond my family, it’s the faculty and staff that I serve and the patients that we care for. A special inspiration comes from the opportunity to try to help people with Down syndrome and their families. In all these people, I am truly blessed. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I think the perfect list would include Socrates, Plato, Spinoza, Emerson, Jesus, Martin Luther, the Dalai Lama, Paul McCartney and my mother and father. I know that is 10, but we can just order a little more food. We would ask Jesus to say the prayer, Spinoza to lead the toasting, and Paul to sing a song or two. Then we would all revel in the evolution of human thought, how each age made and is making its very special conSee RESEARCH, page B23

Longtime Del Mar residents Wayne and Pat Dunlap were living all aspects of the American dream. He was an economics professor at San Diego State University, chair of the local planning board and coached Little League. She once held the honor of “Entrepreneur of the Year” for running a successful evening wear rental business in Del Mar for 17 years. The couple had a fulfilling social life and lived happily with their son in their panoramic ocean view home. “We thought we were deliriously happy. We pretty much had it all,” said Pat. “But we thought, ‘Is this it?’” About two years ago, the couple of 23 years had grown tired of their business, and decided to take a vacation while figuring out their next venture. “I told Pat, ‘Why don’t we take off for three months?’” Wayne said. “She thought about it and came to me a few days later and said, ‘Why don’t we go for a year?’” A year turned into two years — two years that not only renewed the couple’s playful spirit and appreciation of life, but also became their next business venture. The Dunlaps have recently released their self-published book, “Plan Your Escape, Secrets of Traveling the World for Less Than the Cost of Living at Home,” and in only two months they have sold hundreds of copies and earned a five-star rating on Amazon.com. On Jan. 21 from noon to 5 p.m., the Dunlaps — who have been inducted into the Travelers’ Century Club for visiting more than 100 countries — will appear for a book signing at the Del Mar Art Center Gallery, located at 1555 Camino Del Mar, Suite 112. In taking the leap out of their nine-to-five lives, the Dunlaps rented their home, automated their bills and assured the integrity of their relationships with friends and family — all aspects of long-term traveling that they explain in depth in “Plan Your Escape.” “Most people will say ‘That’s crazy,’ so it’s important to understand how to tell relatives ‘I’m going to take control of my life and live my dreams,’” Wayne said, adding that it’s especially important to stay in touch. “Plan Your Escape” includes an entire chapter about effective ways to stay in touch and document travels with limited resources — from setting up a blog, getting phone service and using Skype.

Woody’s Wharf to open at Beachwalk shopping center Popular restaurant comes to Solana Beach after almost 50 years in Newport Beach BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Nested on the water of Newport Harbor in Newport Beach, Woody’s Wharf has been a happening place and staple in that community since 1965. Now, owner Ralph Nudo is fulfilling a goal of bringing a new Woody’s to a beach location with the upcoming opening of Woody’s in Solana Beach. Filling the space of the former Blanca restaurant in the Beachwalk Shopping Center, located at 437 S. Highway 101, Woody’s Wharf will open around March 1, said Nudo, who has been in the restaurant business for nearly 35 years. Woody’s began as a local watering hole in Newport owned by fisherman Woody Payne. It has grown into a casual dining hot spot offering traditional food and a full bar, with a variety of spe-
cials on select days. While Nudo said he is not sure what days he will run specials in Solana Beach, he would like to incorporate some of the daily deals that have been successful in Newport. For example, on Tuesdays Woody’s offers karaoke and specials on lobster dinners, and Wednesdays are “prime rib meat lovers’ day.” On Thursdays guests get half off wine, and Sundays and Mondays are “industry nights” when students and service industry employees from the community get discounts. Nudo said the food is “good quality, but not too eclectic and fancy.” Specialites include the fish and chips, paella, steak and lobster. The bar will offer a special “skinny drink” menu featuring fresh-squeezed juices and less sugar, and there will also be a number of beers

on tap. “We try to do simple food done properly with great ingredients,” said Nudo. “Casual or dressed up, people can come however they are; we just want them to have a good time.” He said one of the most happening times to visit Woody’s Wharf is for Sunday brunch, when the
restaurant offers specials on omelets and bottomless mimosas. “Average ticket price is about $16 to $18 for
brunch and unlimited champagne,” he said. “It’s like Sunday fun day. People can come after church or before the swap meet.
It’s also a good place to come watch football.” For more information on Woody’s, visit www. woodyswharf.com.

Solana Beach author releases fiction novel addressing bullying via humor By making the bully in the book a girl, Coombs said the book challenges the stereotype that bullies are usually boys. She was inspired by a “Hagar the Horrible” comic in which a character’s response to getting bullied by a girl was: “A good left hook has no gender.” “Why not get people thinking along a different line,” said Coombs. “People may have a preconception that boys bully with fists and girls bully with words.” But in her years of publishing more than eight novels, Coombs’ success has come from her staying open-ended and letting the subjects of her books take on lives of their own. “The characters really take me where they want to go,” she said. Coombs is a former elementary school teacher from Alberta, Canada, who discovered her love of writing while being cooped up in her countryside during long winters. She loved reading and writing, but re-
P.E.T. (Parent Effectiveness Training) comes to Santa Fe Montessori School in Solana Beach Monday nights, Jan. 23-March 19. Taught by Catherine Dickerson, L.C.S.W., M. Ed., the parenting course is unique in its focus on helping parents to nurture their children’s ability to think for themselves, while arming parents with skills to communicate exactly what behaviors are unacceptable, and the problems those behaviors are causing. Developed by award-winning psychologist Dr. Thomas Gordon, the “Method III” win-win approach to problem solving allows everyone to get their most important needs met, with a deep respect for the individuality and intelligence of each parent and child. The eight-session course for parents of children of all ages runs from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Tuition is a discounted $250 per person, $375 per couple, and includes a workbook and textbook.

It’s with real-life, fun topics like these that Karen Coombs has been entertaining young audiences since the 1990s. More recently, however, the local author has embarked on a more serious and timely subject — bullying. “Bully at Ambush Corner,” an E-book geared toward middle-grade readers, addresses the issue of bullying in a humorous fashion, using the story of a young boy bullied by a girl to offer real-life advice of how to overcome the problem. “In the book, the character makes a valiant attempt to stay peaceable and not hit a girl. He does many things along the way, some hilarious,” said Coombs in an interview from her Solana Beach home. “The whole book is based on how he can get her to stop picking on him and still maintain his beliefs.”

Diners develop a ‘Crush’ on Solana Beach’s new Italian restaurant BY KELLEY CARLSON rom its classical Italian fare to its large cushioned chairs by the fireplace, Solana Beach’s Crush exudes comfort. It’s apparent to guests the moment they step in the door — with a sweeping glance, they can see patrons chatting and relaxing in all areas of this softly lit restaurant, owned by Rancho Santa Fe resident John Luciano. Another immediately noticeable feature: Crush’s chic interior includes chairs created from French oak wine barrels just inside the entrance, a nod to the inspiration behind the name. General Manager Derry Van Nortwick recommends kicking off an evening at Crush in the lounge, where one can lean against a pillow on a couch next to the fireplace and engage in conversation, while sipping a glass of Italian wine. There are currently about 260 bottles of vintages stored in racks around the restaurant, and patrons are welcome to pull them off the shelves. “Take the night slow,” Van Nortwick suggested. Satisfy those initial hunger pangs with an appetizer such as Mom’s Meatballs, topped with roasted tomato sauce, sheep’s milk ricotta and basil, while tuning in to the sounds of the house.

Scampi Arrabiata Live music emanates from the bar area beginning around 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, ranging from contemporary jazz and classical guitar to old-school Vegas tunes and Latin, a la Gipsy Kings style. Next, venture into the main dining area, an especially popular place to be Thursday through Saturday nights. Or enjoy the ocean breeze on the patio, where flames “dance” over rocks in the center of a 14-seat table. It doesn’t matter where you sit, full dinner is served in every area of the establishment. As with traditional Italian food, a great
deal of time is spent preparing the dishes at Crush, Van Nortwick noted. For example, the Bolognese Tagliatelle — one of the few items appearing on both the lunch and dinner menus — features an old-school six-hour ragu, gioia ricotta and herbs. Among the house favorites are the Chicken Parmigiana, with provolone, pomodoro and basil; and the Roasted Chicken Rigatoni, including rapini, cherry tomato, spinach, mushroom and Parmesan broth. Simpler entrees are offered for children. Round out the meal with the Butterscotch Budino, a light Italian pudding that incorporates sea salt, toffee and cookies. If there’s still room (and energy) in the tank, hang around for Crush’s late-night — and second — happy hour. “Take in the evening,” Van Nortwick said. “It’s not just a dinner house. We’re offering a really nice experience here. The party doesn’t have to end.” Specialty cocktails offered include Velvet Margaritas, Moscow Mules and The Ginger, but they do change seasonally. “We’re a young, fresh restaurant that offers a fun evening in San Diego,” Van Nortwick said. “The service we provide here is exceptional, and we have a great staff. Being an Italian restaurant, we (are) warm and welcoming, and treat (guests) like they are family.”

Gila Rut Aveda Salon opens new location in the Torrey Hills Town Center BY KELLEY CARLSON The owners of Gila Rut Aveda Salon spent about eight years combing North County for an ideal site to expand their business. They finally found it, in the Torrey Hills Town Center on Carmel Mountain Road. Pronounced “geela root,� the third salon in the nearly 20-year-old chain opened on Dec. 4. The grand opening is scheduled for Jan. 27, from 5 to 8 p.m. “We’re so excited to be in North County,� said Keri Davis, who co-owns Gila Rut with her mom, Carol, and business partner Karla Lopez-Martinez. “We’re thrilled we found a great location, and we’re being really well received.� Like the other two salons — in Hillcrest and Otay Ranch — the Torrey Hills site renders services such as haircuts and styling, coloring, natural wave, straightening, deep conditioning, hair smoothing, makeup and false eyelash application, makeup lessons, facial waxing and brow tinting. It also caters to hair extension needs, allowing customers to add volume, length, highlights, lowlights and other effects. A 30-minute consultation with certified experts is $75; the nonrefundable fee may be applied toward the extension service. Torrey Hills is also one of Gila Rut’s two “lifestyle� locations — along with Otay Ranch — which offers perfumed and aromatic body care-type products. Gila Rut is the culmination of years of hard work by Davis, a native San Diegan. “I always loved to do hair,� she said. “I used to cut my girlfriends’ hair before I knew how. Hair and fashion always interested me.� Davis received the majority of her training with Vidal Sassoon, Toni & Guy and Aveda. She cut hair at two salons in San Diego over the course of six years before opening Gila Rut with her mother on July 14, 1992, in Hillcrest. The business bears Davis’ Hebrew name, which means “happiness and freedom.�
Currently, there are almost 270 employees at the Gila Rut company, named one of the 200 fastestgrowing salons in the country by Salon Today magazine.

BY VIC WINTRISS “I’m looking forward to helping teach the GirlsRule Java workshop,” said Sarah Brown, a ninth-grader at Torrey Pines High School. “I feel confident that I can add a lot to the program,” she said. Brown has been studying the Java computer programming language for several years at Wintriss Technical Schools, a local, nonprofit, after-school program that teaches the popular Java language by writing game programs. Brown is planning to take the Computer Science Advanced Placement Class in 10th grade. “Working with the Java professionals who volunteer to teach at the school is extremely rewarding. It is all made very enjoyable. You learn the language in a very practical way.” she said. The GirlsRule workshop will be taught by Aaron VonderHaar, a local Java professional who has just finished designing a new Android cell phone product. The six-week course will introduce Java concepts by writing fun computer games. Students will design their own games in the final three classes. “We want to introduce more women to the wonderful world of computer science,” VonderHaar said. “Writing computer programs is fun and personally rewarding, and there is always a demand for programmers...you can always find a high-paying job,” he said.
Eric Silagi, a senior at San Diego State University, and Brown just finished assisting VonderHaar in two five-day introduction to Java workshops. Student and parent response to the holiday workshops was very enthusiastic. The GirlsRule workshop will use a different set of specially selected Sarah Brown, Eric Silagi game programs for girls. and Aaron VonderHaar. The GirlsRule workshop will be given on Sundays from 2-4 p.m. for six sessions starting Jan. 22. A few spots are still available for the course.

Hopefully, the fortune cookie won’t crumble in the Year of the Dragon The Kitchen Shrink
CATHARINE KAUFMAN The feisty Year of the Dragon rears its mythological head as it wrings out the Year of the calm and tranquil Rabbit. The Eastern Chinese dragon, unlike its beast-like Western counterpart, is a beloved symbol
of wisdom, power and valor. The Chinese New Year is like a combo plate – a blending of American Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a Polish wedding. This protracted holiday of family reunion, gift giving, reverence for ancestors and an attitude of gratitude is shrouded in sweet and sour rituals and superstitions revolving around a gustatory orgy during the 15-day celebration that kicks off Jan. 23. The feasting begins on New Year’s Eve with the delicacies including prawns for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters for a fine life, and raw fish salad to herald a year of good luck and prosperity.
On New Year’s Day the family enjoys “jai,” a vegetarian medley of lotus seed to hedge the odds for producing many male offspring, dried bean curd for the fulfillment of wealth and happiness, and bamboo shoots to wish members of the household good health. Other celebratory foods are a whole fish to symbolize togetherness, a chicken for prosperity (the presentation, including its head, tail and feet to represent completeness), and uncut noodles for longevity. Desserts include homemade fortune cookies with Confucius-inspired wisdom tucked inside. Oddly, this novelty confection does not have Chinese

Homemade Fortune Cookies Ingredients 2 egg whites 1/2 cup unbleached flour 1/2 cup super-fine sugar 1 teaspoon almond, vanilla, lemon or orange extract Pinch of salt Directions: Print messages on strips of colorful paper (3 inches long by 1/2 inch wide). Preheat over to 400º F. Line two cookie sheets with lightly greased parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and extract until frothy. In a separate bowl combine dry ingrediroots, rather a Japanese immigrant lays a solid claim to its creation, while it has been popularized by Americans with a yen for Chinese cuisine. Makoto Hagiwara, a gardener who helped design San Francisco’s famous Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, takes credit for inventing the fortune cookie in 1914 as an act of gratitude. Hagiwara was fired by the anti-Japanese city mayor, then subsequently rehired by his successor to complete the Tea Garden project, and he concocted cookies with thank you notes slipped inside to his
ents and add to the egg whites. (For less doughy cookies, add 2 tablespoons of cold water). Drop 3 or 4 circles of batter about 4-inches in diameter, wellspaced on each cookie sheet. Bake one sheet at a time until golden, about 5 minutes. Lift each cookie with a spatula, flip upside down and transfer to a flat surface. Place the fortune in the middle of the cookie, then fold in half. Transfer the cookie to the rim of a juice glass, and pull the pointed edges downward, one inside the glass, one outside. Let cool.

loyal supporters. These handmade sweets became staples at the Tea Garden, and were even sold at the World’s Fair in San Francisco the following year. A competing claim was made the owner of the Hong Kong Noodle Company, David Jung. Disheartened by the plethora of impoverished people near his shop, he allegedly created a cookie containing uplifting verses written by a Presbyterian minister in the hood, and distributed these free cookies to passersby. Around 60 years later, The San Francisco mock Court of Historical Review
tried to settle this dispute. An exhibit introduced was a fortune cookie containing the message – “San Francisco judge who rules for L.A. inventor not a very smart cookie.” The persuasive piece of evidence led to a ruling in favor of Hagiwara, while members of the Los Angeles bench condemned the decision. That’s the way the fortune cookie crumbles – with 3 billion mass-produced yearly in this country — 60 million alone from Long Island’s Wonton Food Company every month.

BY PAT SHERMAN In the fast-paced age of electronic communication, there remain instances when an e-mail or text just won’t do. As part UCSD Arts Library’s current exhibit, “The Lost Art of Letters,” visitors can browse through books on penmanship and cursive handwriting, as well as literature on the topic of crafting proper thank-you notes and letters of condolence. “This exhibit reminds people about some of the etiquette and rules for letters, how to address a person, and things not to say, (including) a list of 10 things never to say in a condolence letter,” said Scott Paulson, the library’s outreach coordinator. “It’s OK to thank someone via e-mail, but a handwritten thank-you letter? That’s bonus points!” On Jan. 25, at 3 p.m. penmanship expert Sylvia Rubin will offer tips on how to improve handwriting. Using stationery and pens provided, participants will write their own on-the-spot letters, which the library will deliver via the U.S. Postal Service. “So few of us are writing cursive anymore, and even in the schools so little time is spent on it,” Paulson said. “That’s not the end of the world, but still, sometimes a handwritten letter can make a wonderful impression, and this exhibit celebrates that.” The exhibit includes examples of 17th and 18th century inkwells, modern calligraphy sets, and books about calligraphy and cursive writing. “We even have some art books from our permanent collection that show famous letter writing scenes from master painters like (Johannes) Vermeer,” Paulson said. The more technologybased society becomes, he added, the more people long to express themselves using old-school methods. “People are crazy over origami. People love fancy pens and paper,” Paulson said. “It’s just that there’s so few tactile things left.”

‘Dividing the Estate’ sure to become an American classic BY DIANA SAENGER Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning writer Horton Foote has entertained more than five generations with his profound ability to connect with an audience. The magic continues as Foote’s “Dividing the Estate,” which earned a 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, makes its West Coast premiere at the Old Globe through Feb. 12. Co-produced by the Alley Theatre, the play is directed by Michael Wilson, who directed it at the Lincoln Center Theater where it drew raves from critics. “Dividing the Estate” unfolds with humor and drama as it peeks inside a family of socialites. Several generations have gathered at the Texas home of their octogenarian matriarch Stella (Elizabeth Ashley). They are there to sort out her estate before she dies because Stella has specific requests she wants to make sure are followed out. Naturally, there are those who object, and how that plays out -- along with the arrival of outsider and Son’s fiancée Pauline (Kelly McAndrew) — is an intriguing tale to behold.

If you go What: “Dividing the Estate” When: Jan. 14–Feb. 12 Where: The Globe Theatre, Balboa Park Tickets: From $29 Box Office: (619) 23-GLOBE Web: TheOldGlobe. org
McAndrew (The Globe “August: Osage County,” “Alive and Well,” “Sight Unseen,” and Broadway “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”) said she was pleased to land her audition as Pauline. Al-
though she hadn’t seen the play, when she read the script she was hooked. “You can read a play and know it’s good, but it’s not very often you can feel how it will run or how funny and moving it is,” she said. “I was laughing out loud and that doesn’t always happen when just reading, sometimes you have to hear it or see it. I instantly thought this was Horton Foote at the top of his game.” Pauline is a schoolteacher who comes from a family of lesser means than Son’s family. Although he runs the estate, Pauline faces scrutiny from his mother Lucile (Penny Fuller) and Grandmother Stella. “Foote is such a good writer in the way he introduces her into the family,” McAndrew said. “My arrival happens on a day where so many things are occurring for the family so it’s a tense, uncomfortable, funny, and awkward couple of days. I love Son, so it’s my job to see where I fit in. Stella wishes I would stop behaving like an encyclopedia because she doesn’t care for over-educated women, and

Lucille says I have to talk about something, and the only thing they ever talk about is each other … so it’s kind of where does the round peg fit into the square hole.” The inclusion of Foote’s own children, Horton Foote Jr. (Lewis Gordon) and Hallie Foote (Mary Jo), appearing in this play is an added value. Other cast members include: Pat Bowie (Mildred), James DeMarse (Bob), Hallie Foote (Mary Jo), Nicole Lowrance (Sissie), Jenny Dare Paulin (Emily), Keiana Richàrd (Cathleen), Roger Robinson (Doug) and Bree Welch (Irene Ratliff). McAndrew said audiences will be awed by Jeff Cowie’s beautiful set design and everyone will find someone in “Dividing the Estate” they can relate to.
Bird Rock home tour set for Jan. 28 Six beautifully appointed homes will be on exhibit for the sixth annual Bird Rock (La Jolla) home tour on Saturday, Jan. 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are $25 and will be sold the day of the event only starting at 11 a.m. at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, 5627 La Jolla Blvd. “What’s new and exciting this year is we have a historically designated home for the first time,” said Michelle Fulks, who is co-chairing the event with Celeste Trudeau. “We’ve got six really strong homes of all sizes and styles architecturally. Each home has its own distinct style and charm.” For information, call Bird Rock Coffee Roasters at (858) 551-1707.

Red Nose Run funds awarded
O
n Jan. 11 at Crepes and Corks wine bar and restaurant in Del Mar, the Low and Slow Running Club presented checks to Wendy Lethin benefiting Semper Fi Injured Marines and to Amanda Thompson benefiting Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. The money was generated by the Red Nose Run. Both charity representatives expressed their appreciation for the support of the running club and community. Amanda described the journey of one of the kids of Fresh Start who suffered socially from a brown birth mark that was so large it covered most of his face and part of his neck. He was the subject of ridicule from his classmates and even their parents. He lived an isolated life until Fresh Start began the process of reconstruction. After many surgeries, and a few years later, this young man’s life has blossomed and he is so grateful he participates now with Fresh Start to help other less fortunate kids. Wendy shared her all-too familiar story of a young Marine family. The husband, a Marine in his early 20s, his wife, 18, and a new baby. The Marine returned from Afghanistan after losing his limbs in battle. The wife did all she could to be there for her husband and baby but at one point called for help to the Semper Fi as she was beyond overwhelmed. The Semper Fi, within hours, paid for a flight for the young woman’s mother to come to San Diego to help her daughter with the enormous adjustments. Semper Fi also provided immediate counseling, child care. and other special needs. PHOTOS: JON CLARK

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Wink Optometry & Eyewear offers a wide variety of crucial services BY DIANE Y. WELCH The eyes are truly the window to the soul, according to board certified optometrist Dr. Puneh Baha, who through 12 years of practice has diagnosed HIV patients, cancer patients, and those with diabetes and hypertension, all from her skillful eye examiDr. Puneh Baha nations. Even Lyme Disease and connective tissue disease may be detected in the eye, she said. When she sees the telltale indicators Baha can immediately send the patient for blood tests or an MRI to confirm the diagnosis and have them start treatment, sometimes saving lives. “This is what I truly love about what I do,” she said. Baha reached a career goal when she opened Wink Optometry & Eyewear, located in the Albertson’s supermarket shopping center at Suites E and F, 2673 Via De La Valle in Del Mar. The store’s one-year anniversary will be celebrated in February. Some of the services offered by Baha include the diagnosis and management of ocular disease, pediatric optometry, treatment for eye infections, contact lens evaluation and fitting, expert evaluations for LASIK and cataract and glaucoma surgery, as well as routine vision checks. The store also defines Baha’s niche for fashion with her eye-catching “Wink” brand, and up-to-date eyewear. Baha carries designer-label frames like Dior, Gucci and Fendi, and the very latest in fashion frames from famous eye couture
designers, such as Loree Rodkin, and Mark Badgley and James Mischka. Baha’s passion for optometry has its roots when, as a 9-year-old, she had her first eye examination. “When I received my first pair of glasses–even now I get chills talking about it–I could finally see the leaves on the trees. Before I wore glasses I didn’t even know that they were there. I truly thought that leaves on trees were just something I saw in coloring books. Everything appeared as a big blob,” she recalled. A native Californian, Baha grew up in Agoura Hills. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology at California State University, Northridge, where she conducted research on retinoblastoma, a congenital cancer of the eye. She earned her doctorate degree at the Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, along with an additional bachelor’s degree in visual science. Baha has served as an examiner for the National Board of Examiners in Optometry and is currently a member of the San Diego Optometric Society. She gives back to the community by volunteering at the Monarch School in San Diego, examining the eyes of underprivileged children. It’s critical to examine children’s eyes from an early age, said Baha. “I can’t stress how important it is for children to have their eyes checked by the age of 2, if not by the age of 5. After that the eyes may become lazy with amblyopia and there is no corrective measures that we can make after the age of 7.” Baha has been checking the eyes of her own children – she has twin boys aged 6, and a daughter aged 4 – since they were six months old. “I just gave one of my twins his first pair of glasses,” she commented. As part of an overall philosophy of prevention, Baha recommends that everyone get their eyes checked annually.
“Most eye diseases are very silent, and are much harder to treat once they are more advanced,” she cautioned. Using the latest in technologically advanced equipment, since opening her own practice, Baha has diagnosed several patients with glaucoma who were unaware that they had it. “They are now being treated properly and hopefully we will have preserved their vision,” she said.

Besides providing comprehensive lists of tried-andtrue tools to research travel destinations and accommodations, the Dunlaps put much emphasis on easing travelers’ fears of the unknown and breaking out of their inertia. “Considering something outside of your routine is different. The media makes it seem scary, and there are a lot of unknowns,” said Wayne. “But the reality is that you get out there and the world is a wonderful, lovely place. You just have to use your common sense, and a good suggestion is just to turn off the news.” Another aspect of the book is a chapter about getting a reluctant partner to

travel and also there is a focus on how to be a good travel partner. Wayne was inspired to write that section by a man in Crete who once asked him how he and his wife can stand spending each and every second of every day with each other. “I had not thought about it because for us it comes easy,” he said. “So I started to think about how we do it and I realized that in being a good travel partner, you get more out of the experience. You get more back than you give.” The couple said their favorite destinations are Italy and the Greek Isles — for it being “picturesque, a nice combination of romance and history.” Now, they are not only selling their Del Mar home, but they are planning a long trip to South America and South
Africa. “Traveling with only a suitcase has shown my wife and me that we do not need stuff to be happy,” said Wayne. “People, friends, new experiences, adventures, romance, learning, having fun and waking up excited about the day is much more important.” The couple has met many “kindred spirits” — their way of describing people they bond with on their travels — but Pat said her favorite part has been the closeness they’ve gained in their own lives. “”We fell in love with each other all over again,” she said. For more information on the Dunlaps’ travels, visit their blog — accepted by “Best Travel Blogs” — at www.unhooknow.com.
The ability to listen. What do you do for fun? I have to say that I really just like to work; my work is my fun. Having said this, I am planning to spend time re-engaging in my interest in model railroading, and would like to do some model airplane flying. Oh yeah, and I have a really nice camera that I need to learn to use more effectively. Describe your greatest
