The Inn at RSF

Escrow expected to close soon on The Inn at RSF BY JOE TASH The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, a local icon that has been owned by the same family for more than 50 years, is about to get a new owner. Jed Stirnkorb, of the CBRE hotels group, the listing agent, said Tuesday the property is in escrow, but declined to name the purchaser or purchase price, citing a request from the sellers. He said the sale is expected to close in one to two months, following “due diligence” by the prospective new owners. The Royce family has owned the historic inn since 1958, and put it up for sale last fall. On Tuesday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that JMI Realty, the development company founded by Padres owner John Moores, is partnering with the New York-based investment firm Siguler Guff & Company, to buy the property. However, John Kratzer, president and CEO of JMI Realty, declined to confirm his company’s involvement in an email response to this newspaper. “Unfortunately, the family that owns The Inn has requested that we not speak with the press. So for now, we have no comment,” Kratzer wrote. Kerman Beriker, The Inn’s general manager, also declined to comment. “The people are interested, it’s confidential, that’s the only thing I can tell you,” Beriker said. The Inn sits on a 21-acre property along Linea Del Cielo at the entrance to the Rancho Santa Fe village. It includes 107 guest rooms, a restaurant and bar, swimming pool, spa, fitness center, tennis courts, business center and meeting space. See INN, page 30

Construction moves ahead on final phase of Fairbanks Ranch gates renovation project Construction has begun on the final phase of the Fairbanks Ranch gates renovation project. Commuters and residents may have noticed that several trees came down near the private residential community’s entrances over the last week and portions of the bike lanes are now closed off San Dieguito Road. According to the Fairbanks Ranch Homeowners Association, it took several months to get county approval and fine tune the building plans for the renovation of the manned entry gates. The Fairbanks Ranch community is accessed through six gates, all of which intersect San Dieguito Road. Renovation of the four secondary or “resident only” gates were completed along with the roadway medians in 2010. The main north and south entrances at the western-most end of the community are scheduled for demolition and renovation. The Fairbanks Ranch Association had initially planned to renovate the north and south entrances consecutively, however, after carefully evaluating the work to be performed and the construction schedule it was determined the two main entrances should

be renovated concurrently. The Association anticipates that this will allow the contractor to complete the project substantially earlier than originally anticipated and at a lesser expense. In accordance with the recommendations of the Fairbanks Ranch Association’s traffic engineers, the eastern-most secondary gates have been designated as the temporary manned main entrances to the community. These gates were selected based on safety and engineering considerations. Watkins-Landmark has been selected as the general contractor for this final phase due to its construction and engineering expertise. If the project continues to progress on schedule, the gates renovation should be substantially complete during the summer of 2012. The Fairbanks Ranch Association “would like to express its appreciation to its residents, guests, and service providers for the patience and consideration they have demonstrated during construction.” Questions or comments may be fielded to the Fairbanks Ranch Association management office at (858) 756-4415. - Submitted

RSF School board to consider possible parent survey BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District students attend school by four to 92 minutes longer than the required instructional minutes, district superintendent Lindy Delaney reported at the Jan. 12 school board meeting. Delaney’s report was in response to an inquiry by trustee Todd Frank who, in December, questioned whether it would be possible to change the school start time to 9:15 a.m., rather than 8 a.m. Kindergarten and first grade students have the most excess daily minutes: Kindergartners have 92 more minutes than required daily and first graders are over by 36 minutes daily. Kindergartners and first graders at R. Roger Rowe have a longer day by the district’s choice. “I think it’s a good choice for us,” Delaney said. Second through sixth grades are closer to the annual required minutes, just 10 minutes over. Middle school is over by 4 minutes. Delaney said schools are required by a state education code to have 180 days of instruction; teachers have 184 days in their contracts. Within those days are required minutes: Kindergarten is required to have 37,105 minutes a year; first See SCHOOL, page 30

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Association Buzz: Candidates needed to run for RSF Association board seats By Jack Queen, RSF Association President It is time again to begin the process for the election of new directors of the Association board. This year we will have two open positions that each carry a three-year term. Per our governing documents, the first step in the process is the establishment of a Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee’s main function is to help encourage members to run for the Association board and, in reality, it is more of a recruiting committee. Under the provisions of our bylaws, we need to have two more candidates than there are openings. This year that means four candidates are

needed to complete the slate. In the past it has been difficult to get a full slate even with the fact that any member in good standing can run by simply signing a candidate’s authorization. I made this pitch several months ago when we were looking for Art Jury candidates; we need volunteers that are willing to serve. Having served on both the Art Jury and the Association board I can tell you it is a very rewarding experience and gives you the opportunity to give something back to the community. The board Jack Queen meets twice a month on the first and third Thursday of each month. The meetings last from about 9 a.m. to around 1 p.m. and are usually interesting, informative and, frankly, fun. The members of the Nominating Committee this year are: Bill Beckman, Dick Doughty, Franci Free, Candace Humber and me. The slate of candidates is due no later than 5 p.m. on March 9, so give any member of the committee a call or leave a message at the Association office and we will get back with you.

RSF Patrol helps nab burglary suspects On Saturday, Jan. 14, at 9:08 a.m., the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol received a call reporting a burglary in progress at a home in the 17100 block of Calle Corte, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. Upon arrival, the RSF Patrol officer determined several suspects were in the house, Wellhouser said. The Sheriff was notified.

The Patrol and Sheriff’s deputies surrounded the house and took four suspects into custody. One suspect tried to flee on foot, but was apprehended. The four suspects (three males and one female) were arrested for burglary and felony vandalism. Property taken from the home was recovered.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Parking in the Village An age-old problem in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe is parking. A recent column in the RSF Review by RSF Association Board President Jack Queen correctly describes the current parking situation. Solutions have been suggested and some have been tried over the last 30 years without much success. Enforcement, or the lack thereof, has been the norm. Absent the sheriff’s or highway patrol’s infrequent parking enforcement, all that seems available has been the RSF Patrol’s warnings that haven’t been effective or frequent. The Village Business & Merchants Association has been meeting and discussing the parking problem for years; however, much of their concern has fallen on deaf ears. Now that our village commercial mix has changed, there are still possible parking solutions that could be addressed and some of

the Association members are taking notice of the problem and asking for help in looking at solutions. Last month a survey was sent out to the Village Business & Merchants Association membership which asked them to estimate, in hourly timeframes of use, the parking needs for their employees and their customers. Suggestions were also solicited. The responses are coming in, including their frustrations about this never-ending problem. Additional survey forms may be requested at Villagebusinessmerchants@aol. com. Membership forms for the Village Business & Merchants Association are also available on request via e-mail.

RSF Patrol urges residents to take precautions to prevent burglaries The RSF Patrol has seen an increase in burglaries over the past year, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. “In most of our cases, the suspects have easy access to the houses — through unlocked doors,” Wellhouser said. “To make it worse, the alarms are not being turned on. “Don’t be a victim — lock up the house, even if you leave for 5 minutes. Turn on your alarm system. Don’t leave valuables out — lock them up! Put the jewelry in the safe. We have found that it takes just seconds for these crooks to accomplish the burglary. Make sure your door locks work, test them. Open windows are not a good idea, just a push with your hand and the screen pops out. “It is a good idea to have serial numbers and descriptions of your electronics, cameras and other items kept in a safe place.” Wellhouser said. “The Sheriff offers a free home crime prevention inspection. Call them if you are interested at (760) 966-3500. If you have any questions, please give us a call at (858)756-4372; http://rsfpatrol.blogspot.com.”

Village Church Preschool in RSF to celebrate golden anniversary this month •C ommunity invited to participate in thriving school’s 50th birthday bash BY DIANE Y. WELCH There is a lot of excitement building at the Village Church Preschool in Rancho Santa Fe. Students have been visiting businesses in the ranch singing, “Happy Birthday to our School” and passing out invitations for the biggest birthday celebration the school has yet seen. On Sunday, Jan. 29, the preschool, formerly known as the Village Nursery School, turns 50 years old, and this golden anniversary is being marked with a free community birthday bash from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. that will take place in the courtyard of the Village Community Presbyterian Church. The celebration will feature music by Life of the Party – a steel drum band – children’s games and activities, and catering provided by Surf Brothers. An official from the City of San Diego will present a proclamation in recognition of the preschool’s half century of educating, nurturing and inspiring the community’s young children, said Pamela Miller, preschool director.

It will be a trip down memory lane for prior teachers, administrators and alumni who are on the event invitation list. Longtime Ranch residents Sue Bartow, Carol Tibbets, Cathy Deal and Flo Bible are on that list. As are grandchildren of 1930s movie star Robert Young and the children of many notable celebrities, including Victoria Mature, the daughter of actor Victor Mature; the children of baseball pitcher Bruce Hurst; and the children of auto group owner Bob Baker. Other alumni include the children of the following: professional baseball player Steve Finley; Wendy Walker (former senior executive producer of Larry King Live); Joe Walsh, guitarist with the Eagles; Tom Delonge, a member of Blink 182; and others. Photographs of alumni will be displayed along with a presentation of a photo slide show. Ranch residents Liz and Tyler Seltzer were early attendees at the preschool. Now, of their three children, two have graduated and one is currently a preschool stu-

Tyler Seltzer has recently been elected to the Rancho Santa Fe School District board. The preschool, a program of the Village Community Presbyterian Church, was founded on Jan. 29, 1962 by a group of 12 churchmembers, mothers who had no daycare for their young children, said Donna Durckel, a parent of a current preschool student,

and a member of the event committee. “That was the humble beginnings of this preschool.” The founding director was Bella Coughlin, the second director was E.J. Heltzel, both deceased. It was the third director, Carol Doughty, who brought the preschool into the 21st century. “Because of her leadership and vision the school went from a small preschool serving maybe 50 families to a

large preschool, with an outstanding reputation, which now serves over 200 families,” said Miller. Back in the 1970s through the mid-1990s, about 80 percent of the students lived in the Ranch, while today about 20 percent of them live in the Ranch and about 80 percent come from the surrounding communities. “We now serve families from southern Carlsbad, Encinitas, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Santaluz and 4S Ranch,” said Miller. “The families who come here really know the quality that they get so they are willing to make that drive.” Students range in age from 18 months, in the parent-toddler program, to between ages 2 and 5, in the preschool. The school has a varied program designed for the “whole” child, which emphasizes the development of a essential cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual foundation, a teaching philosophy that has not changed during the 50-year period. There are a core of

teachers which have served the school from a 28-32-year period, and a group that is in its 17th year. “We are strictly an enrichment program, we are not day care. This sets a dynamic in the classroom whereby the relationship between the student and the teacher is very positive. Teachers come and they just stay,” said Miller. Not only is the school marking a major milestone, but it is looking ahead to June of this year when it will undergo a major remodel financed by Jere and Joyce Oren, who donated $350,000 to create an up-todate environment. “Others are welcome to join Mr. and Mrs. Oren in this very important cause,” said Miller.

The Village Community Presbyterian Church and preschool are located at 6225 Paseo Delicias, in the village of Rancho Santa Fe.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

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.

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.

Club President Helen DiZio will give the “State of the Club Address” and there will be a look back at 2011 with a slide show presentation. “I think the slide show will be a fun way for members to look back at all of the great times, hard work and community service that happened last year. It really highlights the wide range of interest that our club supports for its many members. Like we keep saying — It’s not just about gardening anymore. “We are extending a special invitation to new members and those who may not have been as involved in the past. This is the perfect evening to come to the club and meet other members and see all of the fun and rewarding things we do here,” says event chair Ginger Bord. The event will also feature wine and

nibbles. The event is free to members and their guests and will be held at the Garden Club clubhouse located at 17025 Ave. de Acacias, Rancho Santa Fe.

Now she is the bestselling author of political thrillers, “Checkmate,” “Gambit,” and “Final Finesse.” She will share stories about working in the White House and explain how she has woven many of them into the contemporary novels she is writing today. The charge for this event will be $30 for Garden Club members and $45 for nonmembers. The price includes a signed copy of one of Bpdman’s thrillers. To register for this event, please visit the Garden Club website at rsfgardenclub.org.

Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe (CCofRSF), true to its mission of promoting the love of music to all ages, supported this year’s first Outreach Program. Prior to opening the 12th concert season at the Fellowship Hall of the Village Presbyterian Church the evening of Nov. 18 with jazz sensation Anna Wilson, Anna and her husband, an acclaimed guitarist and a member of her ensemble, performed at North Terrace Elementary School in Oceanside. In attendance at the school’s courtyard performance were students, their parents, teachers, the school’s administrators, and a member of the Oceanside Board of Education. According to the principal of North Terrace Elementary School, Fausto Barragan Jr., the children at the school and their families have experienced numerous changes this year and the concert is a welcome musical artistic addition. He noted that the current school building is a temporary location while their school building is being remodeled. The impact is that the children travel further to attend school. In addition, many of the students are children with parents serving our country as service men and women. So as Anna and her husband performed, children and adults alike swayed, clapped and tapped their feet. There was no denying that the beat was apparent in the smiles of the audience. Even in the cold overcast weather, no one was anxious to leave the concert and retreat to the warm classrooms. This Outreach Program is a collaborative effort between the visiting artist(s) and CCofRSF in support of the CCofRSF mission. If the smiles and swaying are any indication of the value of this program, then let the show go on. CCofRSF is committed to let the show go on with upcoming performers as one aspect of its Outreach Program. On Wednesday, Jan. 25, the second concert of the four-concert season will take place with INTERSECTION, a classical trio who will take the audience on a musical “journey with vitality, verve and diversity.” Just the name of this classical trio, INTERSECTION, suggests to the audience an audio vision of the diversity and the blend of classical, jazz, Latin, Broadway and film musicals intertwined with their own compositions and arrangements. Their “soulful expression, instrumental virtuosity and playful banter” on violin, cello and piano are the hallmarks of these talented artists. The quintessential INTERSECTION concert provides the audience with a varied repertoire. They are capable of taking the audience on an odyssey weaving a musical cloth that begins with a classical repertoire and threads into various forms of music without losing the beauty, the tone, or the artistry originally derived from the compositions. As an example, while playing Ravel, Dvorák or Brahms, the trio may connect with previous-

ly unexplored byroads, such as a visit to the gypsies. An evening with INTERSECTION is a virtual collaboration between artists and audience as their invited interplay with the audience is integral to their artistic performance. Come, enjoy and be a part of the evening. Following this unique musical journey of vitality and musical creativity the season continues at the Village Presbyterian Church through April, with the next concert on March 21, with The Water Coolers, a musical comedy group that has been called “one of the hottest tickets in town” by E! Entertainment TV. The final concert is on April 13 with Broadway musical actress and vocalist Christiane Noll. At each concert, complimentary catered hors d’ oeuvres, coffee, soft drinks and wine (the wine is donated by Northern Trust Bank) are served. Dessert, frequently created by individuals from the community using favorite recipes, is served at each concert. In support of encouraging children’s musical interest, children less than 18 years are admitted without charge. Following each concert, individuals who have contributed to the Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe at the Sponsor, Benefactor or Patron Levels of charitable giving are invited to a private reception with the artists at a private residence in the area. The Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe, a community service organization and a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, created a performing arts student scholarship, the Holly Wilson Performing Arts Student Scholarship. Wilson was the founder of the CCofRSF 11 years ago. The scholarship is for $2,500/year for four years and is for pursuit of an education in the performing arts. Ruby Edman, EDD, is the Scholarship Chair for CCofRSF. She is the former principal in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District. Dr. Edman will be following procedures as outlined by the San Dieguito High School District for administration of the scholarship. Funding for the student scholarship will be provided from proceeds from the CCofRSF Endowment Fund, which is held by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. The fund originated at the onset of Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe by visionary patrons to insure continuation of this organization. The development of the scholarship was a result of their expanded mission of developing talent for the future. For additional information, call Dr. Edman at 858-755-1414. Please join CCofRSF for delightful evenings with your friends and neighbors.

Scott and Jessica Manville with their twins Chance and Chelsea.

TV producers searching for ideas head to local resident’s web site

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 television 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 wide-open door to buyers of ideas for shows. It’s all about the idea.” 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.

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

Barbara Mandel

Profile

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 Jo-

nas 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 in-

Quick Facts Name: Barbara Mandel Distinction: Longtime community volunteer and healthcare administrator, Mandel was appointed last May as executive director of the San Diego County Medical Society Foundation. Born: Chicago, Illinois Education: B.S. degree in advertising and public relations, cum laude, University of Illinois School of Communications, 1975; M.B.A. in health services administration, California State University San Marcos, 1997 Family: Has one daughter, Bristal, 22, studying fashion design and merchandising at Kent State University in Ohio Interests: Community volunteerism and art Physical regimen: Hiking, cycling and walking the beaches and bluffs of Del Mar Favorite getaway: Telluride, Colorado Recent reading: “Dreams of Joy,” a novel by Lisa See; “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival,” by Laura Hillenbrand; “Sarah’s Key,” a novel by Tatiana de Rosnay. Enjoys historical novels, particularly about China in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Recent films: “The Descendants,” “My Week with Marilyn” and “War Horse” Favorite TV: Doesn’t watch much television, but when she does, she enjoys hospital shows and the David Letterman late night talk show. Philosophy: “I believe we should try to make this world the best it can possibly be. I try to live that every day. Everyone has wonderful talents and gifts to offer and those who have much should give.”

creasing access to healthcare services for uninsured and underinsured adults through collaboration with volunteer physicians, community health clinics, hospitals and medical students. We interviewed Mandel in her hilltop home 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 community 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. Banks wouldn’t lend to people unless they had a lot of money and really didn’t need it. Credit unions would. “I loved the philosophy, the cooperative philosophy, and got the job of marketing manager; worked there for three-and-a-half years, was offered a position in California with a large credit union, came out here, and eventually opened my

own marketing, advertising, and public relations firm, Mandel & Company,” in San Diego, from 1979 to 1989, specializing in nonprofits. “I feel I’ve been very fortunate,” she said, “that I’ve been able to use my talents and expertise to better other people’s situations.” Initially, her prime clients were credit unions. She later branched out into healthcare field. After the birth of her daughter, Bristal, now 22, and during the 1990s, in response to the lack of art education in local schools, she operated a children’s art studio, ArtWorks Kids Creative Center, in Solana Beach. She also served as executive director of the nonprofit Partners for Community Access from 1998 to 2000, and as consultant and later director of community outreach for Palomar Pomerado Health from 1995 to 2001. Asked how she keeps fit, she said: “I walk the beach and the bluffs a lot. I hike in Torrey Pines a couple times a week, I cycle and I ski.” Immediately prior to joining the medical society foundation, she served as a funder consultant for San Diego Grantmakers and authored a regional plan to address and end family homelessness. “It became evident,” she said, “that one of the big reasons working people become homeless is they become unemployed, they lose their health insurance, they have a medical emergency, and they get wiped out.” As for the future of foundation, she said: “I would like us to take an increasing role in making sure that everybody in San Diego County has access to healthcare.” More information on the foundation and its services is available at its Website: www.sdcmsf.org or by calling 858-300-2777.

Nuptial News

RSF School students’ artwork will help 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 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 nat-

ural 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-for-healing/ for more information and to purchase tickets. Fairbanks Ranch Country Club is located at 15159 San Dieguito Road, San Diego, CA 92130.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

2012 is the year of the ‘Champion’ at the RSF Community Center By Erin Weidner, Executive director RSF Community Center This new year began with greatly appreciated support in response to our year-end appeal. The handwritten notes of goodwill and encouragement were appreciated in equal measure to the generous donations you sent in or donated online. The RSF Community Center is in a unique and challenging position in that we do not receive any federal, state or municipal funding. Our programs are only partially funded by participation fees and membership dues (only $85 per year for an individual resident membership) and the balance is funded with donations and fundraisers. Celebrity Poker Tournament: This Saturday, Jan. 21, at 6 p.m. Who will be the “Champ of the Ranch”?! We’ll find out on Saturday. Since we’re talking about fundraisers making up the difference in our budget, here is an opportunity to put your cards on the table, literally. Join us at the RSF Garden Club at 6 p.m. for our Celebrity No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em Poker Tournament. Join poker celebrities and local sports luminaries including tennis player Mark Philippoussis, MLB greats Kurt Bevacqua and Brett Boone, and NFL punter Steve Weatherford, among others, for an exciting evening of No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em to benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. Martin Katz’s John Matty has stepped up in a big way with our top prize of an Hermes Clipper watch for the soon-to-becrowned Champ. Owen Perry has generously offered a week stay at the beautiful Via Del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto in Mexico. We’ll have a San Diego jazz combo, the Jazz Club, playing Sinatra and Bennett tunes from the Great American Songbook live during the cocktail hour, and during the first break in play, as well. Michael Parziale and Dan Morilak with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, as well as Robert Zeps of Gracie JiuJitsu have come in as new sponsors this year. The Faltinsky Family stepped up early as our King of Diamonds event sponsor for this evening’s festivities. There’s plenty for you to do whether you purchase a Spectator Pass ($100) which includes a Learner’s table for those of us not as familiar with the game as those at the Player tables. We’ll have local wineries, a local distillery and area restaurants serving their food and pouring for you. There are opportunity drawings and silent auction items (including golf, spa, dining, travel and casino packages) as well. We look forward to seeing you there! Sign-ups are live online for Session 3 of our After School programs We have some exciting new offerings next session! Glee – Show Choir comes for the first time to the RSFCC and we expect it to be a sellout. We have several Pee Wee offerings this time, and Coach Mike is even offering Lil Kickers and Lil Sports Stars which are intro classes to sports. Rock Band is back due to popular demand and we will also offer Cartoon Drawing. Robb Daly will run three classes- Fun Food Factory, Kitchen Chemistry and Wild Woodshop. Karate is new this session with a Pee Wee class as well as an Introductory level class for the older youth. And if music and dance are more to your child’s liking, we’ve got Hip Hop Dance

and Music and Motion rounding out the offerings. You can find the complete course descriptions online at RSFCC.org Girls Junior Dunkers will be here before you know it! Registration is open on- Erin Weidner line and our free pre-season clinics are slated for Feb 7, 14, and 21 from 5-8 p.m. here at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Gym. Tech Thursdays begin Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. Tech Thursdays began in response to a few requests from local nonprofits and members asking how to accomplish various functions online, and I was glad to sit down and show them. We’ve got Wi-Fi if you want to bring your own laptop or we have Mac laptops that were generously donated, as well as a few PC laptops if you only have a desktop at home. We’ll walk through a different topic each week beginning with some online sharing. Topics currently slated include Google Docs, Calendar, Excel, Picasa (photos), Inbox Tips, LinkedIn etc. These are very interactive, user-friendly get togethers. The only thing you need to bring is your curiosity or a tech question you’d like to have answered. It will be a low-key “class” driven entirely by the participants. These classes are free to members and residents. There is a drop-in fee of $10 for non-members (so why not join!) Come along on a Low Tide Beach Walk Monday, Jan. 23 Monday Jan. 23 is our third Low Tide Beach walk at 3 p.m. We’ll meet up at the Community Center to ride down together at 2:45 p.m., or you can meet us at Fletcher Cove, at the base of Lomas Santa Fe Drive, at 3 p.m. There is plenty of free parking. This will be a leisurely stroll, and sunshine or clouds, we’ll be there as it’s just a matter of dressing appropriately. We’ll search for seashells, sand dollars (I always find at least one) and other gifts laid out for us by the sea. A local ocean enthusiast will join us to help us better understand tides as we walk and talk. Last month there were several members who couldn’t find us down at the beach, so this time I’ll bring a bright red cabana with RSFCC taped to the side, so that we’ll have a meeting spot. You can also bring my direct number with you as it will forward to my cell phone. Ongoing activities at (your) RSF Community Center Jazzercize: Mondays & Wednesdays at 9:15 a.m. Join this fun group of neighbors and friends in the gym each week with music that you can’t help but move to! Yoga: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:15 am This class is held in our sun-filled Herrick Room with floor to ceiling windows. (Join us this month for some free demo days as potential new instructors audition for this group. Make your vote count.) Toastmasters: Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. This group is open to any resident of Rancho Santa Fe and has been meeting weekly for more than two years. This is a great way to get involved in the community while polishing your presentation skills. Tech Thursdays – Thursdays at 11

a.m. This drop-in class offers a participant driven topic each week in a friendly, nonstress environment. Bring your own laptop or tablet and we’ll all learn together. This new year brings us great opportunities to join together as a community. All it takes is someone to “champion the cause” and we can make new programs happen—or bring them back. We’re bringing back Newcomers with board members John Hansch and Tim Cusac actively on board. Shirley Corless is championing a Retirees Group to gather monthly at local restaurants. Joe Zagaro brought the idea of a drop-in Family Sports activity on a Sunday afternoon each

month—we’re looking at soccer, basketball and volleyball (in the gym, and once it warms up, at the beach) rotating through the lineup. Kerry Witkin at The Private Bank has championed a ballroom and swing dancing group and we’re working with some potential instructors already. If Kerry has his way, we’ll have a New Year’s Eve dinner dance at the end of 2012 right here at the RSFCC gym, complete with a big band. I think we can do it! Please drop me an email at EWeidner@ RSFCC.org or give me a call direct at 858756- 1480 if you’d like more information about any of these activities or if you have ideas you’d like to champion. How fun.

Planning continues for Torrey Pines High School Spring Auction Fundraiser Planning continued Thursday, Jan. 12, at Torrey Pines High School for the big “Spring Auction Fundraiser,” which will begin online March 9, and culminate with a live auction, dinner and dancing at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on March 31. Parent volunteers and Torrey Pines High School Foundation officers met on the campus to review donations, organize sponsorships, plan decorating and to report on progress. “The Spring Auction is the largest fund-raiser of the year,” according to Foundation Executive Director Bobbi Karlson. Spring Auction Chair Linda Wiener said that “initial solicitation letters went out to over 250 businesses on Wednesday, Jan. 11. We are looking for all type of auction items, including fitness packages, gift certificates, and donations of goods and services.” The E-Bay style online auction may be accessed beginning March 9 at www.torreypinesfoundation.org, and will feature approximately 150 items donated by the community and parents, while the live auction and casual-attire event at the Belly Up will feature higher ticket items and run from 5-8 p.m. Torrey Pines English Department Chair Staci Ortiz-Davis, will provide her DJ services for the function at the Belly Up. Ortiz-Davis is a former television news anchor (three cities over nine years) who pinch-hits at KUSI. She promises to keep the place hopping with a blend of disco (‘70s), boogie (‘80s) and more current material learned from her students. Paul Rudy, KUSI sportscaster and host of the Prep Pigskin Report, will serve as auctioneer. This year’s Spring Auction will kick-off with a “Toast To Torrey” event hosted by the Pacific Athletic Club on Sunday, Feb. 26, from 5-7 p.m. The PAC has donated food and beverages for the first 100 attendees— each of whom is asked to bring a bottle of wine valued at $35 or more to be donated to the online auction. Parents of students and all community members are welcome at both the Toast To Torrey and the Live Auction at the Belly Up. Ticket purchasers for the Live Auction may purchase Opportunity Drawing tickets for $10 each. The drawing winner will receive 10 coveted VIP field seats and two VIP parking spaces at this year’s Torrey Pines graduation ceremony. Other Live Auction items typically include dining, entertainment, health and beauty, sports, vacation getaways and other unique items. Parent volunteers Connie Cannon, Anna Chamberlin, Holly Coughlin, Anne Duskin, Bryn Emkjer, Marlaine Fetzer, Carla Hill, Sharon Fogg, Michelle Klein, Beth Solomon, and Renee Zau joined Foundation Volunteer Coordinator Denise Small, Wiener and Karlson for the on-campus meeting to

The Belly Up in Solana Beach will be decked out in Falcon colors on Saturday, March 31, from 5-8 p.m. for the Torrey Pines High School Foundation’s “Pump Up The Volume” fundraising event. The dinner and dance is part of the Spring Auction which includes an E-Bay type online auction that beings March 9, and concludes with a live auction at The Belly Up. The auction may be accessed at www. torreypinesfoundation.org. The Pacific Athletic Club in Carmel Valley is hosting a Toast To Torrey on Sunday, Feb. 26 from 5-7 p.m. to kick-off the Spring fundraising season.

assist in planning the event. Volunteer tasks include follow-up phone calls to businesses, gathering gift items, and organizing the Belly Up event which attracts from 200400 people each year. “We also need some Dads and some muscle,” said Decoration Committee Chair, Michelle Klein, “to help with set-up, lighting and break-down at the Belly Up on March 31.” “The Foundation is looking forward to another successful event with the generous support of our school families and local community,” said Wiener. The Torrey Pines High School Foundation was founded in 1993 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization to help bridge the gap between the increasing cost of education and the insufficient funds from the district and State of California. The Foundation now serves as the umbrella organization to coordinate all parent and community fundraising and volunteer activities on the Torrey Pines campus. The Foundation supports the fundraising and volunteer efforts of close to 40 different parent volunteer-led member and booster groups. The Foundation is governed by a board of directors comprised of parents, the principal, the ASB president and community leaders who believe in the importance of a strong and vital community high school. The day-to-day operations of the Foundation are managed by two full-time staff members and one part-time member. For more information, visit www.torreypinesfoundation.org.

Announcer and self-described political ‘junkie’ enjoys special experience in Iowa BY KATHY DAY While a lot of people recognize Steve Lewandowski as the long-time voice of the San Diego Polo Club, some might be surprised to learn he’s also a self-proclaimed “kinda, sorta political junkie.” And if you don’t believe him, all you need to do is get him to start talking about his recent Christmas trip home to Iowa for the holidays – which just happened to coincide with that state’s recent caucuses. While he had attended them four years ago, this time as a Republican, he said, he found it more festive in part because “last time was not the GOP’s time. People sensed that. This time, although it’s going to be tight, more people were excited” about the possibility for a win in November. “It’s a unique and special political experience,” he said.

Paula Black to serve as Honorary Chair of Click! fundraiser for International Bipolar Foundation The International Bipolar Foundation will once again hold its annual Click! fundraiser, but this year with Paula Black at the helm as Honorary Chair. The event will Click! Honorary Chair be held on Friday, Paula Black Feb. 24, from 6-10 p.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in the Mission Tower. Black joined the board of directors of IBPF back in August and jumped right in to help. “She has been supportive of our mission since before her appointment to the board,” says Muffy Walker, founder and president of the nonprofit. Black has been instrumental in helping the organization hire a development officer and now will help with its biggest fundraiser of the year. Click! is a fast-paced, fun “game show,” where guests compete on teams to win the much- coveted Click! Award. In addition to delectable food stations, including ahi and sirloin sliders and ‘shawarma’ (Middle Eastern delicacies), a full bar with the famed Clickmopolitan is included. After dining, guests move into the uber-cool game room

and get ready to answer trivia questions, perform silly antics on stage, and bid for priceless items in the silent and live auctions. Each year at Click!, IBPF presents awards to those who have bipolar disorder who see beyond the illness and can imagine a future free of barriers, stigma, and discrimination. The recipient empowers others by sharing their story, instilling hope and inspiration. Although the name of this year’s recipient can’t be revealed right now, here is a hint: think famous television actor! The Click! Committee, including Debbie Torbati, Susan Berger, Ashley Reitzin, Muffy Walker, and Honorary Chair Paula Black, have been busy securing fabulous auction items, such as a week stay each in Deer Valley; Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Abaco Island, Bahamas; an eight-week internship with Dr. John C. Reed, co-chair of the organization’s Scientific Advisory Board; a Kentucky Derby luncheon for 20…the list goes on and on.

The Senior Center’s Board of Directors (pictured above) provides guidance and oversight in the day-to-day operations of the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. We are fortunate to have an outstanding group of dedicated individuals who generously volunteer their time and expertise to help guide and carry out the mission of the Senior Center. Many of our directors have served multiple consecutive terms on the board and one board member has served continuously since the organization’s inception 23 years ago. They have helped make the Senior Center the wonderful, dynamic organization that it is today. I feel very privileged to be involved with an organization that focuses so clearly on its mission of serving seniors. Our programs offer numerous social outlets for active seniors, as well as professional presentations that are tailored specifically to seniors’ needs, interests, and life situations. We have been able to accomplish all of this on an ever-increasing scope due to the support and generosity of our donors. Our programs and services are all contingent upon the support of the community we serve. On behalf of the board of directors and staff, I extend to each of you our sincere thanks and appreciation for your support. If you would like more information about the RSF Senior Center, please visit our website at www. rsfsensiors.org or call (858)756-3041. Mark Your Calendar: Upcoming Program: What’s New in Health Care Delivery? Please join us at the Senior Center on Friday, Jan. 27, at 2 p.m., for “What’s New in Health Care Delivery: How will it affect you?” Dr. Robert Savage, M.D. will discuss changes in health care, including the role of the hospitalist, primary care physician, consultant, and concierge doctor.

Rohr Jewish Learning Institute to offer new course ‘Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics’ in RSF The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present the new course “Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics.” The first class is free to attend and the six-session series is accredited for 7.5 CLE ethics credits in California and Rabbi Levi Raskin of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-course sessions, beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 23 at Morgan Run. “The recent failures in the financial industry have drastically changed the way we think about business,” explains Rabbi Raskin the local JLI instructor, “at JLI, we deeply believe that business should be a force for good, and that’s why we’re presenting students with timeless Talmudic insights into real-world ethical dilemmas.” Spanning a wide range of intriguing subjects, Money Matters discusses the personal ethics of bankruptcy and freeloading asking questions such as: After purchasing a ticket for a ball game, can you move to an unoccupied, higher-priced seat? If you ever have the money are you morally obliged to

repay discharged debt? Questions regarding topics in social ethics such as living wages, insider trading, CEO compensation, and collective bargaining are also addressed. “Markets need morals, and morals are not made by markets. They are made by schools, the media, custom, tradition, religious leaders, moral role models and the influence of people,” said the British Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks, “Jewish ethics has a long past and a massive resource of wisdom. That is why courses such as JLI’s Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics are so important.” Like all JLI programs, Money Matters is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-7567571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information.

Local author releases fiction novel addressing bullying via humor BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net A boy searching for the right pet. A girl who wants to be a belly dancer. 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. “The whole book is based on how he can get her to stop picking on him and still maintain his beliefs.” 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 really honed in on her passion when she took a class

Karen Coombs recently released a young adult fiction novel that addresses the issue of bullying by using humor. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN on writing for children while in journalism school at the University of Utah. “Bully at Ambush Corner” is Coombs’ first electronic book, a starkly different experience than working with publishers of print novels, as she is used to. The books sells for $3.99 on Kindle, Nook, Sony and iTunes. “The scariest part of Ebook publishing is that you

are on your own,” she said. “You don’t have editors looking over your shoulder.” Coombs has also tapped into the issue of bullying in today’s schools, and shares her insight with the world through her blog, www. bullyatambushcorner.com. To read more about Coombs, visit www.karencoombs.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Election 2012: Who is Brian Bilbray? An interview with the incumbent congressman who’s seeking his seventh term in a new locale Note: This newspaper group recently met with 50th District Congressman Brian Bilbray to discuss his bid for another term, this time as representative of San Diego’s newly redrawn 52nd District. 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, antiimmigration 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

Brian Bilbray placed back on the (House) Energy and Commerce Committee. ... I come back with congressional seniority, and, more importantly, the hands-on experience of working with the struggle and the interrelationship between government and business in the process of trying to create economic 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 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 immi-

grants, 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 announcing 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 SEE BILBRAY, PAGE 30

Red Nose Run funds awarded

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

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...

Sarah Brown, Eric Silagi and Aaron VonderHaar. 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 game programs for girls. 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. Contact Wintriss Technical Schools at www.wintrisstech.org.

SCHOOL

continued from page 1 grade 50, 680; second through sixth grades are required 60,635 minutes; and middle school is required to have 62,245 minutes. Due to funding concerns, the code would allow for 175 days a year and possibly down to 165. Regardless of any changes to the code, Delaney said she is very committed to keeping 180 days of school. Five years ago, a request was made for an early release day for staff development. Delaney said she does not like early release so they came up with the current schedule for late- start Mondays for staff development. “For me, how we’re doing it now is working,” Del-

identification, visitor relations, equipment procedures, and emergency situations. There will be several SDRP Ranger led presentations, a guest speaker from the Oceanside Police Department presenting “Verbal Judo,” and in the field scenario/role playing. Whether you are interested in hiking the trails, patrolling by bicycle, or taking your horse out as part of an equestrian unit, you are needed. You must be at least 18 years of age. No fees: Training provided and paid for by the San Dieguito River Park. Refreshments will be provided! For more information or to register and receive a confirmation letter please contact Leana Bulay at Leana@sdrp.org or call (858) 674-2275 ext.14

aney said. The trustees were not yet sure on changing the start time, not even Frank who said he wanted to digest the information from Delaney’s report. He said he was not in support of cutting days if it meant cutting education. Board president Jim Depolo said to start later would likely mean having to go later or forgo staff development. “I don’t think the day should go any longer,” trustee Tyler Seltzer said. Trustee Marti Ritto said she heard some feedback from parents on both sides. “Many of them were not happy with the idea of changing it,” Ritto said. Frank said that instead of anecdotes, he’d rather see a survey done to gauge parents’ opinions on the matter and possibly other issues. A dis-

cussion on a parent survey will be placed on the agenda for next month’s board meeting. Frank later abstained from voting on the consent calendar, which included the 2011-12 school calendar. ***** Track and field project comes in under budget The Rancho Santa Fe School District completed its new artificial turf field and track project $56,357 under budget. The total cost of the project is now $1,730,061. The new running track and sports field has been well received by the students. “It’s beautiful, fun and the kids love it,” said district superintendant Lindy Delaney.

INN continued from page 1 At the time The Inn was listed for sale, an asking price was not revealed. Agents for the Royce family said the owners wanted to encourage all serious offers on the property. The Inn opened in 1922 with 12 guestrooms, and was originally called “La Morada,” or house of many rooms. It has been expanded over the years under series of owners, and was once the site of a midnight mar-

riage ceremony for famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It has long played a central role in Rancho Santa Fe’s civic, cultural and social life. According to JMI’s website, the company served as master developer of downtown San Diego’s ballpark district, and is active in development of hotel, multifamily and office projects. The company currently manages a real estate investment portfolio valued at some $600 million.

ANNOUNCER continued from page 18 To Lewandowski’s surprise, the speaker for Rick Perry was 77th District Assemblyman Brian Jones of San Diego. “He was one of the better speakers,” Lewandoski said. A friend who attended a different caucus in Dubuque told him that Santorum’s presenter was “eloquent, passionate …I wouldn’t be surprised that he alone was responsible

BILBRAY continued from page 25 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 Sacramento 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

for 25 to 30 votes.” An impression like that was particularly significant on that event, Lewandowski said, citing Romney’s slim eight-vote margin of victory. He said one message that best summed up the experience was from a speaker who said, “Don’t listen to the pollsters, the media, the commentators. Do your job. Take the measure of human being.” 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 we get from NIH, and bridge what they call the valley of death, from research to consumer, so that all of this research we do actually produces the medical breakthroughs and the benefits, which also has huge financial benefits, not just for new jobs, but also (for) healthcare prevention. Any final reflections on how you feel you are the best candidate for the job? Bilbray: Washington hasn’t been a pretty place to be, and it’s not going to be a place where someone’s going to have the time to go through a learning process. 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.

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 NeurologDr. William C. ical Sciences, and was the foundMobley ing 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 contribution, and speculate about the future. What are you reading? “The Soul Made Flesh,” by Carl Zimmer. It’s a really good, albeit somewhat technical, read about the emergence of neurology – i.e. brain science. What is your most-prized possession? The ability to listen. See RESEARCH, page B22

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net

Longtime local 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. 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.

Catherine McAllister thrives on enhancing the lives of seniors Meet Your Neighbor where a business takes pride in its product, right down to the level of how the residents are served, it is no surprise that the activities it offers match that same attention to detail and quality. “We offer a comprehensive program. There are five realms that we include: social, spiritual, physical, vocational and intellectual. My job is – and more and more as our residents age in place – not only to provide excursions like visits to the North Coast Repertory Theatre and the San Diego Symphony, but to also bring the world into our facility,” McAllister explained. Recently, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute came to give a lecture to residents. There are art classes, and reading groups facilitated by the local library and more. La Vida Del Mar has a gallery in the lobby which serves to display local artists’ work on a monthly rotation and has close relationships with several local churches

and schools. A recent caroling visit by students from St. James’ school turned into an impromptu storytelling activity. When an emergency lockdown prevented the children from returning to their school, McAllister improvised and suggested the children snuggle down in the library and listen to their teacher read from one of the many children’s book on the shelves. “They were completely unaware of the problems that their school was facing,” said McAllister. “It was fun for them and wonderful for our residents.” A longtime local resident, McAllister has a Scottish ancestry of powerful women that runs along her maternal line. Her grandmother was born in a small town just outside of Edinburgh into a family of Presbyterian missionaries who moved to China in the 1800s. McAllister’s mother, one of five children, was born there. Family members witnessed first-hand the 1900 Boxer Rebellion, the Japanese occupation and World War II. “They saw a lot of drama,” said McAllister, a New York native who grew up in Long Island.

McAllister views La Vida Del Mar as, “a microcosm of what’s out there, globally. Our residents range from former farmers to supreme court judges and everything in between. It’s a wonderful potpourri of people.” In building personal relationships with each resident, McAllister – who like her strong female ancestors has a deep faith in God – is even more firm in her belief that everyone has a gift. “The important thing is to use your gift in good service, it’s as simple as that. I love working with seniors and my job is to bring out their gifts whether that’s the love of art or laughter.” And while that is McAllister’s job it is so much more. “It is my God-given gift,” she said.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH A quiet serenity greets guests who enter the lobby of La Vida Del Mar, an elegant assisted-living retirement community in Solana Beach reminiscent of a fivestar hotel with its comfortable furnishings, fine art and soothing music. Although it resembles the Ritz-Carlton, this is a permanent home for many local retirees. “We are gentlemen and ladies serving gentlemen and ladies,” said Catherine McAllister, program director, who keeps residents busy and engaged in life. She joined the La Vida Del Mar family almost 18 years ago. 2012 marks 20 years of McAllister working in the senior industry. It is both her passion and her pleasure to serve the retired community. McAllister was approached by Michael Grust, president and CEO of Senior Resource Group, which is the management company of La Vida Del Mar, and was asked to join the staff in 1994. So she jumped right in and has been swimming ever since, she said. In an environment

New exhibit mourns San Diego’s loss of natural spaces she earned a M.F.A. in Visual Art under Allen Kaprow, Helen Newton Harrison and Eleanor and David Antin. Wallen’s show at the Athenaeum will consist of photomurals and photo collages of San Diego natural areas that we are losing to population growth, climate change, and development. The exhibit will include images from Cuyamaca State Park, Pine Creek, Otay Mountain, Mission Gorge, and Carmel Mountain. In addition, she will display her books, titled “I Love Del Mar,” “Legends,” and “Preserving Paradise.” “I was motivated to put together this particular show because I’ve noticed how much San Diego County has changed in the last 25 years,” she said. “My purpose is to see what we can learn from the changes in our county landscape, which has been impacted by a population growth from 60,000 to 3 million in the last 100 years.” Emotionally, she added, she is heartbroken about the loss of wild areas and wants

necessity has not always lead to the best long-range choices. In other words, we have valued growth and economic prosperity over quality of life and protecting nature. “We must realize that there is so much richness out there in the San Diego wild and we need to think hard about how we will protect it for the future. There are more threatened and endangered species in San Diego than any other county in the whole of the continental United States.”

Wallen, who grew up in Berkeley, Calif., is best known for her colorful photographic nature plaques at the Carmel Mountain Nature Preserve on the mesa top overlooking Carmel Valley.

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.”

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

‘I want to serve my country, not for glory, but to be able to preserve other people’s freedoms.’ CLAYTON JAKSHA

Cathedral Catholic senior 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 Scoutmaster 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 de-

voted 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

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.

‘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.

UCSD exhibit pays homage to the lost art of letters 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.”

Lux welcomes new exhibit

ux Art Institute welcomed the work of its new resident artist Lila Jang at a reception Jan. 14 at the institute. Jang is an emerging art star from Seoul, South Korea, who is making her American debut at Lux. Jang makes a practice of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Inspired by the limitations of a small apartment and the desire to escape the often monotonous routine of real life, Jang finds utopia by turning the traditional idea of furniture literally onto its head. Tables, chairs, desks, and stools take on the fluid, playfully exaggerated and voluminous characteristics of fantasy home furnishings, becoming whimsical pieces that are anthropomorphic, gestural, artful and vaguely humanoid without completely disconnecting from their original, more functional nature. Says Jang, “My work represents who and where we are as human beings: in the midpoint of that constant struggle between reality and the ideal.” Jang received her BFA in sculpture from Hongik University in Seoul and her MFA from Ecole National Superieure des BeauxArts in Paris. Her most recent solo exhibition took place at the Centre Culturel de Coreen in Paris, and she has participated in group shows and art fairs internationally, including Paris, Zurich and Basel (in Switzerland), Seoul and Busan (in South Korea), and Sarajevo.

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 Woody’s to this area 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 specials 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.

Woody’s Wharf, to open in Solana Beach around March 1, will specialize in lobster, steak, seafood and have a full bar. COURTESY PHOTOS

“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

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

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families Should I stay married for the children? Dear Dr. WeissWisdom, My second marriage isn’t going very well. After only one year of marriage, we are already living parallel lives without any intimacy. I must admit that it feels similar to my first, dismal marriage so I wonder Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom if it’s something that I’m doing or if I’m just not meant to have a relationship. Other than not wanting to disrupt the kids’ lives again, there’s nothing really keeping me here. I think that maybe I should just stay and raise the children because I’m just not lucky in love. How do I know if it is me that can’t keep a good relationship or if I’m with the wrong person again? — Unhappy in marriage Dear Unhappily Married Your question about whether it’s you or you chose the “wrong” person suggests that you are open minded and willing to take some responsibility for your part in things (always a requirement for improving a situation). Marriage is a challenging endeavor and stepfamilies even more so. Fundamentally, adults want a safe, secure, connection with their partner. When we feel accepted and understood, problems become just problems rather than minefields. When we lose that sense of safe connection with our partner, we tend to go into self-protective mode. It’s paradoxical because the need for loving relationships is wired into our brains as a survival strategy. So, we need each other but when we feel threatened, hurt, or aban-

doned, reactive anger can be an instinctual response. This of course, only alienates our partner further. All couples can step into a negative cycle together when they become frustrated in their attempts at closeness. In your case, it sounds like you and your partner both withdraw and distance yourself which kills sexual chemistry faster than anything else. Learning to identify the negative dance that you and your partner get into is the first step. Both of you have a role in pulling each other into that dance. Once you mutually understand what triggers each of you, you can start to take charge of the downward spiral of hurt and distance and start rebuilding toward a closer, more loving bond. Many people don’t have a role model for what a healthy, loving marriage looks like. One of the best gifts that you can give your children is learning how to do that so you can model it for them. Individual or couples counseling that focuses on the underlying fears and unmet needs in your relationship could help you identify the cause and cure of your frozen marriage. Happy marriages require a safe and loving connection; one in which you can trust that the other person has your back and that your heart is secure in their hands.

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.

DR. He SAID, SHE SAID: Men in therapy By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. My husband refuses to go to couples therapy Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. because he (Dr. He) and M’Lissa feels it is for Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) the weak and can’t imagine how “airing out his dirty laundry” to someone he doesn’t know could be helpful. I’m frustrated because we are really stuck in a negative back and forth with each other, and unless we get some kind of objective feedback, I don’t think we’ll make it. How can I get my husband to see that our marriage is in serious trouble and that seeing a counselor does not have to be a shameful experience? — Gillian Dr. She Dear Gillian: It speaks to the deeply engrained psychological patterns of humans, that in the 21st century, with expanded emotional intelligence and psychological awareness, men continue to feel there is a stigma associated with asking for help in any form. The belief runs deeply in men that they should not show their feelings or talk about their needs because it is a sign of weakness. The societal message to men is that they will be respected only if they are strong, fearless and independent. These ideas strip men of their humanity and force them to put their hearts into the background of their lives. We are all striving for strength, but strength in anything is achieved through balance. Our blind spots--the things we ignore or don’t pay attention to--become our weaknesses. In their fight to be independent and strong, many men do not attend to or learn to manage the whole spectrum of their human emotions, including hurt, sadness, and vulnerability in addition to anger. Unfortunately, this inevitably catches up with them. It is a statistical fact that most men enter therapy during a time of crisis. Usually it is when they have hit bottom, are experiencing a difficult depression, aren’t sleeping, are drinking too much, and have probably passed the point of no return in saving their relationship. Women enter therapy at a more proactive stage because they have been historically wired to be more comfortable identifying and sharing their emotions and have learned that talking through their confusion is a viable way to cope with and manage their emotional pain. I don’t believe that therapy is the only way to learn about and manage emotions, however, I rarely see men engaging with many alternatives that address their emotional worlds. In my role as an executive coach, I do find that men feel more comfortable addressing their relational dynamics in a professional or “coaching” context. In a business/corporate venue, men tend to proactively improve their business relationships by getting feedback from peers and direct reports, strategizing about developmental goals, and brainstorming about how to change the culture they work in to be more effective. Their motivation is to be successful in business. Interestingly, these same principles apply to couples therapy--just directed toward the success of their personal relationship. Although the relationships they have with their spouses are more vulnerable and the emotions are more intense, the same principles still apply. So, if we can help men to understand

that therapy is a form of strategic planning in order to change the culture of their relationship for the better, perhaps the language would feel more comfortable. I think many men feel intimidated to walk into a therapy session because they feel they are walking into unfamiliar territory. I hope you can get your husband in front of a qualified therapist who can help him understand that-while therapy may not be for the faint of heart--it is nonetheless a very courageous endeavor. Dr. He Hello Gillian, Professionally, I can tell you that pretty much every guy I have had as a client over the last 24 years has expressed the same sentiment your husband has. I mention this to hopefully normalize his reaction to your suggestion to enter couples counseling. Because many people still make the unfortunate assumption that therapy is only for “crazy people”, he probably doesn’t want to be seen as being “crazy” as well as not being perceived as weak. This of course makes the point you are coming to us with in the first place, but as Dr. She mentions above, he has probably lived his whole life believing his emotional world has little to no value. To then suggest that he reveal anything embarrassing--like being scared or hurt or sad--to a stranger must confuse and scare the heck out of him even further. Personally, I can also tell you that I myself understand why and how he is feeling the way he is right now about getting into therapy. Growing up with all the messages from family, community, and culture that defined my own masculinity, I can look back and remember how my masculine pride precluded me from being okay with any kind of emotional honesty that would destroy the mask of having-it-all-together that I wanted others to believe about me. However, three realizations helped me get out of my own way: #1. I’m human--which means I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and I have blind spots when it comes to knowing why I do some of the things I do. #2. My integrity as a man is based on me being courageous enough to be accountable for every choice that I make--mistakes, blind spots, and all. #3. If I am treating others disrespectfully, it probably means that I’m not feeling a whole lot of respect for myself (see #1 and #2 above). Bottom line, Gillian, is that it seems your choices are (and I think you should put it to him this way): either avoid couples counseling and let the relationship continue to deteriorate until one of you says “Enough!” and leaves, or he takes the risk of asking for help to learn--for the first time in his life--how to improve his marriage! It would be so sad if your relationship ended without ever having worked on it. I hope he wakes up to the importance of learning how to grow both as a person and as a partner. Best of luck!

Gwen Given celebrates her 100th birthday at Emeritus in Carmel Valley. PHOTOS: KAREN BILLING

Music still a passion for former concert pianist, now 100 BY KAREN BILLING 100-year-old Gwen Given closes her eyes when the sound of music fills the room as the piano in the Emeritus community room is being played — her piano, which was a gift to the Carmel Valley senior center. She listens to the notes and with a knowing smile identifies the composer: “Chopin.” Gwen Given celebrated her 100th birthday recently and the former concert pianist can easily say that in all her 100 years, the gift of music was the best she ever received. “I love music,” said Given. “Music has always been a part of my life.” Her most favorite piece of all time? Debussy’s “Clare de lune,” which pianist Lori Rittman played for an appreciative Given on her birthday. At her birthday party, Gwen celebrated with fami-

ly and then with the center residents, who were treated to champagne and birthday cake. The “happy” 100-yearold Givens is a fourth generation San Diego native. “My great grandfather came here after the Civil War and he worked at the first saw mill and built buildings,” Given said. She recalled the address of the house he built for his family, in Golden Hill, on 30th and E Streets—now she believes it is a tennis court. Given was raised on music by her grandmother and aunt, who were concert singers, her father was a violinist and her uncle “a wonderful pianist.” She attended San Diego High School for just one month before her family relocated to Riverside. Her first marriage brought her three children and Gwen was married to her second husband, Bruce Given, for 58

years until his death in 2009. “He was a great basketball player for the University of San Francisco,” said Given. “He quit to go to World War II.” She now has eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. While some family has scattered to other parts of the country, her son Michael still lives in Pacific Beach. Up until a month ago, Given still played her piano at Emeritus but eyesight trouble has caused her to stop playing for awhile. She is optimistic that she will be able to play again soon, “My eyesight is getting better all the time,” Given said. Given isn’t quite sure to what she should credit for her longevity. “I never did anything really special, I wasn’t much of an athlete,” Given said. “I read books. I love books.”

Vodka ‘n’ views only part of Pacifica’s success story

Above: Pacifica Del Mar recently revamped its bar area, now called the Ocean Bar. Right: Kipp Downing, owner of Pacifica Del Mar. COURTESY PHOTOS BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Sometimes, if it’s not broken, you still fix it. Or at least, that’s part of what’s kept Pacifica Del Mar at the top — literally — of its game for more than 20 years. Sitting higher in elevation than most other Del Mar restaurants and offering ocean views from almost every seat in the house, the restaurant recently underwent a massive renovation and rebranding in its bar area, which has consistently been the busiest part of the establishment since its beginnings as a 10seat bar. It has now grown to 30 seats, in addition to table seating, and the project cost totals about $700,000.

“In our 20 years, we’ve undergone at least five major remodels,” said owner Kipp Downing, who has been a local restaurateur since 1980. “Some places in Del Mar haven’t changed one thing in 22 years … We’re trying to keep it cutting edge because we’re competing with new restaurants, especially in Del Mar Highlands. Five or six new restaurants have opened there since August.” Pacifica offers a fine seafood restaurant, as well as the Breeze Cafe brunch joint, but the focus of the recent remodel was the bar, which Downing has reinvented and named the “Ocean Bar.” About 20 years ago the bar

was informally known as the “Mustard Bar,” a name that was derived from the bar’s mustard-colored finish, but for the most part it has gone nameless for the past two decades. In addition to the name, Downing has added something you don’t see every day — a vodka bar containing more than 150 types of vodka from all over the world. Downing said the bartenders educate guests about all the vodka flavors and variations, and that he likes seeing those who are attached to a certain brand try some-

thing new. “If you don’t like it, we can pour something different,” he said. “But nine times out of 10 people are glad to have something they’ve never had before.” Unlike tequilas, vodkas come from all over the world, which adds to the variety and appeal. “If you had 100 different types of gin I don’t think anyone would care,” said Downing. “But vodka is different. There are so many ways you can drink vodka.” Walking into the Ocean Bar, guests may also notice that it’s quite a bit bigger. Downing acquired space from what used to be a neighboring jewelry store and made it part of Pacifica, which involved knocking out the wall in between. “It wasn’t as easy as it looks because that wall was actually holding up two buildings,” Downing said. He ended up having to engineer and construct a weight-bearing “moment frame” — a project that, in itself, cost about $20,000. The entire renovation will be complete in January with the addition of more bath-

room space, which Downing is waiting to complete after the busiest season (as to not inconvenience guests). There’s no question that renovating is expensive, Downing said. But in the end, it pays for itself. “One of the problems with Del Mar is that it’s been static in many ways,” he said, but places that have renovated — such as Poseidon and the Wells Fargo on Camino del Mar that became a mixed-use office complex — have been success stories. Through good times and bad, many of the restaurants in Del Mar have stayed the course, but Downing said he’d like to see more independent retail come to Del

Mar to offer more of an experience. If people come to shop, he said, it’s a given that they will eat too. He also said it’s harder to find new guests than to keep guests coming back time and again, so he caters to the locals and focuses on “taking good care of North County.” Another element of Pacifica’s success is right in line with the saying: “location, location, location.” “Before I opened Pacifica, I always thought if you have a restaurant with an ocean view and you don’t screw it up then you’ll be in business for a long time,” he said. “That’s been true.”

Your Family Matters: Postpartum depression in men BY DR. KEITH KANNER One of the most neglected topics when a couple decides to have a child is that the mother is not the only one going through significant emotional and psychological changes. Dads are too. In fact, because the notion that men seem to be stereotyped as the “strong” ones, their emotional reactions to child birth are often overlooked. The reality is that both men and women are thrown into a “new” developmental part of their lives when they have a baby and depending upon many factors, some become excited and invested, while others struggle with this enormous change and associated responsibilities, including financial, emotional, and physical changes. These changes may or may not have been examined ahead of time and even if they were, having that child makes it all real. For example, Ed was elated when his wife of three years announced that she was finally pregnant. The couple had been trying to get pregnant for two years and were becoming very concerned that they would not be able to parent children. Fertility consultations had recommended some medication to help them along, but because of some negative family experiences with medications in recent years, they decided to continue to try conceive naturally. However, the attempts had become anxiety provoking and “not much fun,”as both Ed and his wife, Ellen, would base their intimacy on an ovulation schedule rather than spontaneity. They had both concluded, though, that it was worth it if they could have a child together. For Ed, the idea of becoming a father was wonderful. Although he lost his own father in a traffic accident when he was 10 years old, and his mother did not remarry, he thought that having children would “complete his life” and give him the chance to provide a degree of fatherhood, which his father was unable to provide for him. He was also an only child and was hoping that they would be able to have at least two children so his children would have siblings, which he had longed for as a child. He and his mother had a very close bond and he felt as though he was always at the center of her world which made him feel much loved and nurtured. He also envisioned that having a baby would additionally deepen his love

Dr. Keith Kanner

and intimacy with Ellen. Ellen was the youngest of three children and was raised in an intact family. She had solid relationships with both of her parents and siblings and wanted to raise a family in a similar fashion as to the one in which she grew up in. She was used to sharing her parents’ attention with her siblings and was excited about the idea of extending her immediate family with Ed. Throughout the pregnancy, Ellen and Ed continued to bond and were sexually intimate with one another well into her second trimester. However, during Ellen’s third trimester, she develop back pain and did not feel physically up to making love any longer. This became conflictual for Ed. On the one hand, he had compassion for Ellen’s plight, but he also felt somewhat frustrated that they were temporarily unable to be intimate with one another. The birth of the baby was a celebration for both Ed and Ellen. Together they joined in the expression of their love for one another and began to discuss both immediate plans for taking care of their daughter, Diane, and future plans for their family. Ellen chose to feed on demand and Diane began to immediately bond onto Ellen and the two of them fell in love. Ed, too, felt close to Diane, but began to feel a bit left out of the triad. He found himself feeling conflicted between elation regarding being a father, but also frustrated for he felt as though the dynamics had changed. No longer was he the center of Ellen’s attention; he was having to share her with his infant daughter. As Ed was an only child, sharing a “mother” was something he never had to experience. To further complicate matters, like all infants, Diane was awake almost every two hours to nurse and his sleep became disrupted as they kept Diane in a crib in their bedroom to make it easier for Ellen to feed her.

This resulted in Ed feeling tired most mornings for the first four months until Diane was able to sleep through the night. Sex was also on hold for the first eight weeks, as well, which was also difficult for Ed for it was a primary way for him to feel closer to Ellen and began to take her inability to be sexual too personally. In other words, he felt as though he had “lost” something by having Diane which made him feel ambivalent and guilty for having some mild resentment towards her as it was changing his relationship with Ellen. As a first-time father, Ed was not anticipating that as Diane matured, his relationship with Ellen would once again become intimate and their relationship would broaden as they parented together Instead, Ed was feeling confused. He loved his new baby, but also felt a bit sad, resentful, and worried about his future with Ellen in reference to their intimacy. Ellen, on the other hand, was “the happiest she had ever been.” Her life felt complete. She had a loving husband, a baby who was in love with her, and life was at its best for her. The description above is a common example of what happens in many, if not most, first-time families, when the couple, or husband/father, in particular, has not familiarized himself with what to expect when one’s spouse becomes pregnant and then has a child. In fact, the literature is more plentiful for upcoming mothers as “what to expect when they are expecting,” than for the fathers in terms of the changes and challenges in both their relationship with their spouse and the changing family unit. For the father, the birth of a child is both wonderful, but also naturally compromising. The gift of a child supplies a movement into a new developmental phase, fatherhood, which is filled with gratifications and responsibilities, but also causes change in merely being in a two-person dad. In other words, the couple moves into a family, causing an extension of each individual’s love, attention, and caring beyond the couple onto a child. For the father, he will commonly feel a bit left out of the picture, even a bit rejected, as the new baby is bonding with their primary caretaker, which is usually the mother, especialSee KANNER, page B23

Nutrition and you: Eating healthier in the New Year BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT Happy New Year, I hope you had a wonderful holiday and are ready for a magnificent New Year! Most of us resolve to be healthier in the New Year. Have you visitPeggy Korody, RD, CLT ed a gym in January?! We start out great but by February the trips to the gym seem to decrease. Although exercising is an important component to health, so is your food intake. So to help you out with that, here are a few suggestions. Why not try “Meatless Monday” for health and sustainability? Start off your week by replacing meat with beans, peas, and veggies! FYI, the latest USDA statistics show that men in the U.S. consume as much as 190 percent of their recommended daily allowance of protein, while women eat as much as 160 percent. Americans derive the majority of their protein from meat and other animal sources. It is also important to know that, red and processed meats are linked to chronic preventable conditions such as, cancer, coronary vascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Switching to beans, peas and veggies, one day a week, increases your fiber and healthy protein intake, along with folate, zinc, iron, and magnesium. Another bonus of replacing meat with plant based protein one day a week helps to reduce your intake of both saturated and total fat. “Meatless Monday” also helps the environment by decreasing your carbon footprint and saving resources. Did you know one-fifth of man-made greenhouse gases are

produced by raising cattle? To help you get started I’ll be adding a “Meatless Monday” recipe each month to my website (RD4Health.com), in fact check out my Veggie Bean Chili recipe! Here’s something else to consider. Are you a frequent flyer when it comes to eating out, getting take-out food or buying processed foods? Why not try to cook at home one more day per week? This way you control the ingredients, so you can control the health of the dish. You will be amazed at how many calories and fat grams you can reduce! Also, it doesn’t have to take hours to create a healthy meal; in fact, one of my new favorite go to fast foods is the thin sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They cook quickly and there are so many ideas of what to do with them. One of my boy’s favorites is to mix some Dijon mustard with a little bit of honey or maple syrup, then I cook them on a stove-top grill and baste with the sauce the last five minutes of cooking. Cook some pasta or rice, steam some veggies, mix up a side salad, and dinner is ready in no time! You may not want to go to the gym in January if you want to avoid the crowds, but exercise is still an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Since we are so blessed and fortunate to live in sunny southern California, why not dust off that bike, or get a new pair of walking shoes – no gym membership required!? Once again, I would like to wish you a very happy, healthy start to your New Year! Peggy Korody is a registered dietitian and owner of RD4Health Nutrition Counseling, LLC in Rancho Santa Fe. She is also a Certified LEAP Therapist - Helping people who suffer with food sensitivities which can lead to - IBS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, and other inflammatory conditions.

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.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

KANNER continued from page B20

ly if the couple chooses breast feeding over bottle feeding. This feeling typically lasts up until about a year of age when the baby begins to seek out others aside from mother to associate with, namely the father as weaning from breast feeding usually comes to an end. In families that choose bottle feeding from the beginning, fathers will often take a more active role, as well as fathers who actively engage in holding their babies if their wives choose to breast feed. One’s family of origin experiences also play a part in how the father will manage these changes. For example, with Ed, being an only child without a father, provided him with the undivided attention of his mother throughout his childhood and adolescent development. This dynamic was then repeated in his relationship with Ellen up until she became pregnant with Diane. Once born, Ed, for the first time in his life, had to share a “mother,” which was an unfamiliar experience for him, although unconscious.

Here, feelings of envy, competition, mixed with love and admiration towards both Ellen and Diane would be expected. Ed having some insight into both himself and the process of fatherhood during infancy, would have surely helped him get through this period of time. For other fathers, such as those who had experienced siblings, the advent of a new baby reintroduces unconscious sibling rivalry and depending upon how well this was tolerated and managed during childhood and adolescence, will predict how the father will relate with a new baby who is competing with him for the attention of his wife/mother. In extreme cases, some fathers will become depressed during the first year of life of their new babies; a male form of postpartum depression. This is usually due to unconscious feelings of anger and resentment regarding the losses and changes evident in having a new baby. However, most fathers who educate themselves about fatherhood through either reading or

talking with their peers, often offset any depressive condition and tend to manage their conflicting feelings of love and loss well enough to participate fully in being a new father and expanding their relationship with their spouse. Over time, fathers tend to habituate, or adapt to the “new” family lifestyle. During the second year of life, the role of the father becomes very important and most toddlers will reach out to their fathers as a way of separating from the mother. Most fathers love when this happens. Their relationship with their spouse further broadens to include children and intimacy returns, although perhaps not as frequently due to the responsibilities of raising small children and the level of investment and fatigue that most parents experience. Over time, however, as the children grow and mature, the couple may return to the early days of intimacy and increased time together in a dyad, but this may not happen until the children are well into adolescence or even until they leave home

for college or work. Key Points: 1. Fatherhood introduces gains and losses. 2. Most new fathers feel happy, sad, and rejected. 3. Family of origin issues predict how a

new father will adapt to a new baby. 4. Postpartum depression can happen with fathers as well as mothers. 5. Fathers who educate themselves as to what to expect ahead of time fair much better than those who do not.
