Beach Safety Center and Lifeguard Headquarters. The Del Mar’s lifeguard station was built in 1964, and with it falling deeper into disrepair, raising money for a new facility has become a front-burner mission. The Friends of the
Powerhouse and the City of Del Mar have partnered to fund the estimated $3 million project, with the community group raising onethird, and the city raising the rest. The Friends of the Powerhouse is now close to

He held off his fast-closing stablemate, Tweebster (not pictured), by a nose for the victory. Trained by Bob Baffert and co-owned by part-time Del Mar resident Mike Pegram, the San Fernando was Indian Firewater's first graded stakes win. He covered the 1 1/16-mile event in 1:41.53. The San Fernando is the second leg of Santa Anita's Strub series; the Strub Stakes, the final leg, will be held on Feb. 5. Photo/reporting by Kelley Carlson.

By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer A strip of Highway 101 in Solana Beach is slated for a facelift, which will likely begin within the year. The overhaul, which Nasland Engineering has been working on for months, will include the approximately mile-long stretch along Highway 101 from Dahlia Drive to Cliff Street. The project will include: four lanes within the existing right-of-way;
parallel and angle parking on the west side of the street; a bike lane in each direction; wider sidewalks; a narrower median, which will be painted in some portions; and several trafficcalming features, such as curb pop-outs and midblock crossings. On Jan. 12, the Solana Beach City Council approved an agreement with Nasland Engineering to complete the final phases

‘Pretty Please’ owner opens ‘Daisy Blue’ in Del Mar Highlands Town Center
Expert to discuss prescription drug and heroin abuse among teens at Jan. 25 event
By Karen Billing The fun, functional and fashionable new clothing store Daisy Blue is now open in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Shelly van der Linden, who also owns Pretty Please next door, opened Daisy Blue in December — offering two completely different looks. While Pretty Please is packed with jewelry and dressier wear, Daisy Blue is more casual attire. The shop offers a more relaxed look, along with workout and yoga gear for women from their teens on up. Van der Linden is more than happy to have her second shop in Carmel Valley. “This is a nice community and they like to support the center,” said van der Linden. Pretty Please opened in Del Mar Highlands three and a half years ago when van der Linden’s lifelong love affair with clothes became a full-fledged career. Her love of clothes all stemmed from her mother, Roella Miller, who also owned her own store and now works at Daisy Blue. “She never wore the same thing twice all through high school,” Miller said of Shelly. Van der Linden had worked in shoes, but always wanted to have her own clothing boutique. After beating breast cancer, she was determined to make her dream a reality. Almost five years breast cancer free, van der Linden now has seven stores. “I just feel blessed and lucky and I don’t take anything for granted,” van der Linden said. In 2010 she opened four new Pretty Please locations, two in Arizona, one in Carlsbad, one in Hillcrest and the new Daisy Blue. It was a busy year, van der Linden said, and one she was lucky to have considering the current economic climate. “There was a lot of opportunity because a lot of people were going out of business, unfortunately,” van der Linden said. “I decided to take advantage of the rent out there and lower my price points. Everyone wants to buy something nice, but most people just don’t have the money to do it.” So while Pretty Please and Daisy Blue may look like boutiques, they do not have boutique prices. It’s easy to find a new top, dress or yoga wear that are both stylish and affordable. Van der Linden knows “you can get a shirt anywhere,” but what makes her stores unique is the customer service. Her employees, like Margaret Huver, are very friendly and will really
A deputy sheriff who has fought illicit use of OxyContin will brief parents on a serious threat to local teenagers – abuse of prescription drugs and the deadly connection with heroin use. Sheriff’s Sgt. David Ross will speak Tuesday, Jan. 25, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church. The public is invited to attend, and a question-and-answer period will follow. Ross, a 21-year veteran of the county Sheriff’s Department, has worked on narcotics investigations and helped found the Prescription Drug Task Force. “Prescription drugs have become the second most abused illegal drug behind marijuana in juveniles ages 12 to 17 and most commonly abused among 12 to 13,” says the flier publicizing the talk. Parents will also hear compelling stories from parents whose loved ones have died of drug abuse and from users of such drugs as OxyContin, a narcotic pain reliever similar to morphine, who have become addicted for life. “There is so much information parents need in order to prevent their child from this deadly addiction, and at this event they will hear the facts,” said Sandy Theurer, minister of Children, Youth and Families at Calvary. “Legal, medical and treatment professionals and parents who have lived this nightmare will explain the connections between prescription drugs, heroin use and the seemingly less harmful entrance drugs,” she said. “A Crisis in Our Community: Know the Warning Signs — Prescription Drug Abuse Kills” will be broadcast live on KCBQ AM radio, with host Rick Amato. Calvary Lutheran is at 424 Via de la Valle in Solana Beach, just north of the San Diego County Fairgrounds. Overflow parking will be available under the office building immediately east of the church. For more information, phone the church at (858) 7552855, go to its Web site at www.CalvaryLutheranChurch.org, or e-mail Theurer at clcyouth@roadrunner.com.
Daisy Blue owner Shelly van der Linden with employees, mom Roella Miller and Margaret Huver. Photos/Karen Billing take the time to help create a look, like a trusty girlfriend. Since the two stores are right next door to each other, some questioned why van der Linden didn’t just knock down the wall and make the cutely compact Pretty Please bigger. “I don’t want to mess with Pretty Please because it works,” van der Linden said. “People like a different shopping experience. Daisy Blue is more spread out, more relaxed. I’m seeing if I can pull off a different look. It’s nice to have both.” Van der Linden hopes to add a lotion and cologne bar to Daisy Blue where women can mix their own scents. She also hopes to add little gift items, to give people a place to pop in, grab a quick gift and be on their way. If the formula goes well, a Daisy Blue and Pretty Please side by side, she hopes to open more next to her other new shops. “I feel like I know the customer,” said van der Linden. “If they like Pretty Please, they’re going to like Daisy Blue.” Check out Daisy Blue at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. For more information, call (858) 792-1188.

She joined the UCSD faculty in 2009 as the first holder of the Qualcomm Endowed Chair in M o b i l e Computing in the Jacobs School of Engineering. Zhou’s research the focused around the challenges in designing the next generation of computer Yuanyuan systems: energy Zhou and thermal management for data centers, software dependability, and storage systems. Since joining UCSD, she has secured National Science Foundation (NSF) support as principal investigator (PI) on four projects and is co-PI on a fifth. Her grants as solo investigator total more than $1.6 million. Zhou is also part of a team of researchers at UCSD and five other universities involved in a $10 million project that proposes to re-think and enhance the role that software can play in a new class of computing machines that are adaptive and highly energy efficient. The idea is to use system components — led by proactive software — to routinely monitor, predict, and adapt to the variability in manufactured computer systems. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

The city was able to negotiate that price down about 35 percent by cutting corners through things such as using city staff to organize all community input meetings and reducing the drainage and design work needed by pulling information from the city’s own master plan. There will also be allowance left for project add-ons, including fountain features and ornamental lighting. Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner said that several neighbors have expressed concern over existing trees being taken out of the medians, but she pointed out that many of those trees will actually be replanted along the sidewalks and several new trees will be added. In other news: Lomas Santa Fe Median to be extended The Lomas Santa Fe Drive median starting at Solana Hills Drive will be extended to the southbound Interstate 5 off-ramp. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) will pay for the project, which will cost about $36,000. Construction is expected to take a couple of months, and should be done by May. New film permit ordinance The Solana Beach City Council introduced Ordinance 412, which applies to anyone who wants to film for commercial purposes in Solana Beach. City Manager David Ott said the city gets about three to five such requests per year, and typically the special events permits are used to handle them. The new ordinance will require applicants to pay a $50 fee. News media outlets and anyone shooting film not for commercial use will be exempt from this ordinance.
funding raised and design plans complete, Delaney said the Friends of Powerhouse are “ready and waiting to get started” on their leg of the project. The construction was put out to bid, and at the time of press, the city council was expected
to award a contract during its Jan. 24 meeting. Delaney said once ground is broken, she expects the project will take just a few months to complete. Until then, she’s got her sights set on the casino night fundraiser,
which she said typically draws about 200 people. Tickets to the fundraiser are $60 each and include a buffet dinner by Jake’s Del Mar and live entertainment by Java Band. There will also be casino-style games, raffle prizes, and a live auction with some big ticket items, such as private use of the Powerhouse or a Jake’s Del Mar dinner for eight prepared at home. “Dinner, dancing, gambling, great prices and casual socializing — this event has it all. It’s a fun way to raise money for a great cause that will benefit everyone in this community. What more could you ask for?”
stated that “although this is a loss for the City, I hope that all of you will join me in congratulating David on this wonderful new chapter in his life.” She further stated that he is a very valuable member of the City’s executive team and will be missed; however, he has developed a strong departmental staff capable of continuing to provide the excellent
service expected from the Public Works Department. Scherer stated: “What I will miss are the current and prior City Councils, the city staff, and most of all, the wonderful volunteers that make this place we call Del Mar a village, especially the current and past members of the Del Mar Garden Club, the San Dieguito Lagoon Committee and the
Parks and Recreation Committee.” Scherer’s last day in his office will be April 1, 2011. Scherer will be available for consultation during the city’s transition to new management for the department. The City plans to provide an opportunity for the public to congratulate and wish him farewell.

SD Veterans for Peace raise funds to help local homeless By Karen Billing Staff Writer San Diego Veterans for Peace is doing what they can to bring a little warmth to downtown San Diego’s homeless population, as well as shine a light on an issue that is hidden in plain sight. The group’s Campaign for Compassion is raising money to distribute ponchos and sleeping bags to San Diego’s homeless. Since the week before Christmas, they have delivered 225 sets, including a donation trip last Saturday. So far they have raised $8,744. “The money has been coming in rather amazingly,” said Gil Field, director of communications, who notes they hope enough donations come to keep the drive going until warmer weather sets in. Field, a local resident, is an immediate past president of the organization that promotes peace and seeks to increase public awareness of the costs of war. One way they do that is by creating “Arlington
West” downtown near the Midway—they put crosses in the ground to memorialize those lost in Afghanistan and Iraq. Down near the Midway is where Field and his group connected with several homeless veterans and were given insight into how big the homeless problem is in San Diego. While estimates are that about 40 percent of the homeless people downtown are veterans, the group’s drive is to meet all homeless people’s needs. Individually members had purchased and delivered 45 sets of ponchos and sleeping bags but it didn’t become a chapter campaign until Dec. 7. Big 5 Sporting Goods and Outdoor Products of Los Angeles gave the group a discount on the items allowing them to purchase, in bulk, very warm 30-degree Coleman sleeping bags and waterproof ponchos. The sleeping bag is given out in a nylon stuff sack—the sleeping bag only takes up about half the space so people can
use the bag to keep other items dry. Unfortunately, Field said it is not hard to find people in need. He said under almost every Interstate 5 overpass downtown there are at least 100 people living there. He estimates in the four-block radius of 16th Street and Island, there are about 300 people sleeping on the street. This is downtown San Diego, Field said, and yet from the way it looks it’s as though you’re in one of the poorest countries in the world. “When you go to these enclaves, it’s families, it’s women, it’s old people,” Field said. “Recently it’s a lot of people who look just like you and I, they look like they have all the trappings of being middle class. I’m seeing more and more 20year-olds, mostly men. They look just like my kids.” He said he sees people “fresh from housing,” who have nothing but the often-times nice clothes on their back, walk into

Homeless people sleep in front of the San Diego City Library downtown, some in sleeping bags donated by San Diego Veterans for Peace. these enclaves and settle down to sleep on a piece of cardboard. The city has set up a 150-bed tent for homeless veterans behind the Goodwill off Rosencrantz. There is a civilian tent on 16th and Newton Streets. Veterans for Peace will often go to the tent shelters to find people in need who have been turned away due to capacity. “I think that our city fathers, by setting up the veterans tent and civilian tent, that is just a drop in the bucket,” Field said. “It doesn’t even begin to serve the need.” The Veterans for Peace group usually goes out at around 7:30 p.m., when
homeless people have settled into their spots. They try not to attract a lot of attention and seek out people who appear to need the most help. It is a very emotional exchange, Field said, when they give out the bags. During a Dec. 21 trip in the pouring rain, a proud, homeless veteran in his 50s had tears in his eyes when he received the bag from Field. The man told him, “Thank you for your humanity.” Field hugged him and said, “You’re welcome brother.” Field has been working with the homeless population for about a year, with the Bethel Memorial AME Church
downtown. He and other Veterans for Peace members assist in prepping 500 dinners that the church then delivers to the homeless on the last Friday of every month. “Five-hundred dinners go away in no time,” Field said. “They allot three hours for the distribution and they don’t even need [that much time].” If interested in donating to the ponchos and sleeping bags campaign, visit www.sdvfp.org Checks can also be sent via mail to 11575 Caminito La Bar #23, San Diego, CA 92126. Checks can be made out to treasurer Colleen Angel.

Author issues ‘wireless wakeup call’ at local event By Karen Billing Staff Writer Kerry Crofton is a big advocate for wired over wireless, corded over cordless. She uses long corded phones in her home, her computer is linked to the Internet by cable and she uses her cell phone so sparingly that her monthly bill is miniscule. Crofton, the author of the book “Wireless Radiation Rescue,” recently visited a private local home to speak on the adverse affects of electro-magnetic radiation in our increasingly wireless world. Crofton, a health educator, set out on her mission to send a “Wireless wake-up call” about six years ago. “I’m deeply committed to this issue,” Crofton said. “ I’m deeply concerned for my family and for your family…We can’t fix the global situation. The government and the industry are not as yet receptive so it calls on us to take the lead, take care and safeguard our families from electro-pollution.” She acknowledged that there is a lot of controversy and debate surrounding the issue of wireless radiation as the science and evidence is still coming in. The 2010 Interphone study showed that 30 minutes of exposure a day over a 10-year period would equal a “heavy user” and increase the risk
of brain cancer by 40 percent. Another study cited in her book, showed that 30 minutes a day over 10 years could increase brain cancer risk by 140 percent. The same study predicted that the risk increased five-fold if a person begins using a cell phone before the age of 20. “Maybe not all the evidence is in but at least enough evidence is in to take caution,” said Crofton. On the cover of Crofton’s book is a child on a cell phone, with red wireless waves emanating from the phone. Crofton said that represents the intense sphere of radiation that comes off the antenna and can penetrate into the skull, particularly the eye tissue and brain. Symptoms of electro-magnetic radiation include sleep deprivation, cognitive impairment, tingling in hands, dizziness, ear ringing, vertigo, increased agitation and headaches. Evidence of harm includes DNA damage and disruption of DNA repair, suppression of the immune system and disruption of normal neurological functions. She compared electromagnetic radiation to rapid aging syndrome. “If we only knew, each phone call, what it’s really costing us,” Crofton said. Crofton worries most for children, who are more susceptible to the damage.

Author Kerry Crofton visited Rancho Santa Fe to discuss the dangers of ‘wireless.’ A group called Doctors for Safer Schools has formed to fight having wi-fi in schools due to concerns about children’s vulnerability to wireless radiation. She’d like to see schools use hardwire Internet connections or fiber optics if they can afford it. Warnings are out there— new smart phone instructions come with guidelines that phones should be held .9 inches from the head or it might exceed govern-
rt in Tow u g o Y t s e B n” “The SELF SERVE FROZEN YOGURT

ment levels. Even signs on cell phone towers in Rancho Santa Fe read, “Emissions radiating beyond this point may exceed federal guidelines.” Crofton said the question we need to be asking is if federal guidelines are up to date. The U.S. guidelines were last updated in 1997 and she fears with the advancements made in technology since then that the standards are out of date and inaccurate. Additionally, she said the federal guidelines are based on a 200pound male, not taking into account the effect on children. Only short-term exposure and thermal effects were monitored. Cell phones are not the only culprits of wireless radiation—it’s anything that transmits data. Other sources include airport scanners, baby monitors, microwaves, diagnostic x-rays, plasma TVs, laptops—“the last place you want to place a laptop is in your lap.” She also warns of the effects of fluorescent bulbs. “Use incandescent light bulbs and look for other ways to reduce your energy consumption,” Crofton said. Cordless digital phones can also pose a danger, Crofton said, noting the new 6.0 cordless phones have a very high level of radiation, as the base is radiating
the entire time, not just when a call is coming in. She suggests a corded phone or using older cordless phones that are only 900 megahertz and not digital. There are some precautionary steps people can take and still remain connected. Crofton offers some in her book: • Choose a low SAR (specific absorption rate)-level phone. • Keep cell phones powered off as much as possible. • Hold phone away from your body and use the speakerphone option. • Put phones in airplane mode so they’re not sending or receiving data. • Create a safe sleep sanctuary; don’t keep wireless technology near your bed. Don’t use a cell phone as a bedside alarm clock without disabling the wireless mode. • Use Ethernet cables instead of wi-fi and make sure to disconnect a computer’s airport or Bluetooth functions. Use a wired router. • “Texting is better than talking but it’s still not safe, the only safe use is a corded land line,” Crofton said. To learn more, visit radiationrescue.org.

Bench unveiling ceremony: A tribute to active Del Mar community member Helen Glaser to be held Jan. 28 The community is invited to join the Del Mar Village Association for the Helen Glaser Bench Dedication ceremony at noon on Friday, Jan. 28, at 1555 Camino Del Mar on the NE corner of the 15th Street and Camino Del Mar, in front of Smashburger Restaurant located in the Del Mar Plaza. Well known for her active participation in a number of Del Mar organizations, knowledge of Del Mar facts and faces, and vibrant personality, longtime Del Mar resident Helen Glaser is greatly missed but certainly not forgotten. On Jan. 28, Del Mar Village Association board members, bench contributors, as well as Del Mar Mayor Donald Mosier, with Helen’s husband, Pete, will memorialize the former Del Mar resident through a bench dedication ceremony. Helen Glaser, an active member of many Del Mar organizations, including the Del Mar Village Association, Del Mar Foundation, Del Mar Historical Society, former Chamber of Commerce, and Friends of Powerhouse Park, served on countless committees and volunteered for a number of community events on
behalf of the revitalization and historic preservation of downtown Del Mar. The recently installed downtown bench is part the Del Mar Village Association’s goal of improving the village with new streetscape items such as benches, bicycle racks, and trash/recycling containers throughout the downtown village for the beautification and revitalization of downtown through the “Sponsor A Streetscape Item.” Residents and businesses are asked to consider sponsoring a streetscape improvement. Each sponsored streetscape item will be placed downtown and includes a plaque with up to 80 characters that can include a dedication or memorial. For more information, on the DMVA Streetscape Sponsorship program please visit www.DelMarMainstreet.com and click the “About DMVA” link. The Del Mar Village Association (DVMA) is an organization made up of Del Mar residents, business owners and property owners who are dedicated to working together to enhance the vitality of the Village while preserving the community’s history and unique character.
In Memoriam: Marie Helena Doliva Longtime resident of Del Mar, Marie Helena Doliva passed away peacefully at her home on Dec. 17, 2010 shortly before her 95th birthday. Marie was born in Maplewood, New Marie Helena Jersey, the daughter of Doliva Walter and Cecilia Rozycki. She graduated from Douglas College for Women (now Rutgers University) in 1937 with a degree in economics, having founded the first bank established on a college campus. After working on Wall Street, she married Joseph Doliva in 1942 and subsequently moved with him to San Diego during WWII where he served as a Major in the Marine Corps. In 1955, they built a home in Del Mar where the couple started a real estate business. Returning to graduate school at San Diego State, she earned a teaching credential and later received her master’s degree in education at International University. She then taught elementary and middle school at the San Diego Unified School District, retiring in 1981 to
enjoy the opportunity to travel and to broaden her activities and her friendships. She was widowed in 2002. Considered an inspiration by many, Marie overcame many challenges, including blindness due to macular degeneration, pragmatically noting that “This is just an opportunity to get to know a whole new group of friends!” She will be missed by her close friends and family, all those who knew her from the Braille Institute of San Diego, fellow parishioners at St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach, former swim buddies from the Encinitas YMCA, friends made through Del Mar Community Connections, and both old and new neighbors. She leaves her daughter, Lauren, and her son Mark, and their families, Stephen, Daisy and Peter Linden, and Lisa and Delaney Doliva, as well as an extended family throughout the United States and Poland. A memorial mass will be said at St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach at 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 5. Donations in her memory will be gratefully received by Del Mar Community Connections, The Braille Institute of San Diego or St. James Catholic Church.

The 100th anniversary of the birth of president Ronald Reagan, one of the most influential politicians of the 20th century, is Feb. 6, 2011. In an advance for the book, Ron explains that as
he grew up, he observed the very qualities that made the future president a powerful leader. Yet for all of their shared experiences, there was much he never knew about his father’s past and in “My Father at 100,” he sets out to understand this beloved, if often enigmatic, figure. President Reagan came to personify the values of an older America, and his son traces the sources of these values in his father’s early years in a heartfelt portrait of the man and his country.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Perspectives at Moonlight Beach offers variety of artisan pieces Morgan Stanley Smith Barney financial advisors form The Allen/Monteath Group
By Karen Billing In Perspectives at Moonlight Beach, every item has a story behind it. There are necklaces made with antique perfume buttons that are more than 100 years old. Back when perfume was oil based, women would wear their fragrance on their buttons, owner Debra Skinner explains. In war time, it became a tradition for the women to pin their buttons to the inside of their departing soldier’s shirt, so he could keep the scent of his loved one close. The shop’s silken yoga bags are made from recycled saris, from an organization that teaches Indian women to sew, creating sustainable incomes to remove them from a life of domestic abuse. And the stylish leatherlooking bags with the modern grommet details? Not leather, but vegan, actually. Skinner opened Perspectives in fall 2010 in The Lofts on Moonlight Beach Highway 101 in Encinitas. The store offers unique finds from her endless “wander looks” for artisans
who offer one of a kind, highquality pieces. “This is just a new adventure for me,” said Skinner. “It’s really exciting to bring something new to the community.” Although many pieces in the store are one-of-a-kind, not all come with one-of-akind price tags. “I try to make sure there’s a little bit of everything for everyone,” said Skinner. “I’ve already had people come back and tell me I’ve become their go-to shop and I love that.” Perspectives is Skinner’s first retail shop. She is an artisan herself, whose studio had always been her dining room table. “I’m a creative person in my own right,” Skinner said. “The store was about getting my studio off the dining room table, inviting other artisans to celebrate their stories and their craft.” With Valentine’s Day in mind, Skinner says many of her items would make great gifts. Very popular are the “spirit tiles,” an incredible unique line of pieces made of molten glass on copper, free
standing or ready to hang on the wall. Bright images on the front correspond with quotes written around the edges—one reads: “If raindrops were kisses I’d send you a shower,” matching the umbrella toting girl on the tile. “This particular artisan (Houston Llew of Georgia) has been very well received,” said Skinner. “I love it when an artisan will give me an exclusive.” She also loves a collection of tiny, sterling silver bells with delicately intricate engravings. The bells can serve as a pendant for a necklace—she sells silver and leather Debra Skinner opened Perspectives at Moonlight Beach last year. chains. Every purchase leaves the store in a bag that makes it look like a present. “I want it to feel like shopping at Perspectives is a special and unique experience,” Skinner said. Anyone who brings this article into Perspectives will get 25 percent off a single item. Visit the store at 90 N. Pacific Coast Highway 101 in the Lofts, suite 213.

Education Matters
Restricting students from freedom of speech By Marsha Sutton Freedom of speech for students has been a quagmire for educators and constitutional scholars for decades. As students have pushed boundaries, they have challenged adults to preserve students’ basic democratic freedoms while ensuring the right to privacy, the right not to be bullied, and the right to limit speech that can incite hateful or violent action. Students in a school environment are not guaranteed the same expansive right to freedom of speech or expression granted to adults in the United States, but pinpointing exactly where to draw the line has become a recurrent dilemma. High school and college campuses repeatedly confront the problem, which has presented itself in an infinite variety of ways. Anti-gay slogans on a T-shirt, semi-nude photos in a literary magazine, and criticism of administrators in student newspaper editorials are among some of the legal challenges local high school educators have dealt with in past years. In Florida, a former high school student, Katherine Evans, won a two-year legal battle when a settlement was reached that erased a suspension from her record for creating a Facebook page that described one of her teachers as “the worst teacher I’ve ever met.” Pembroke Pines Charter High School principal, Peter Bayer, said the comment, made in 2007, was “cyber-bullying” and “harassment” of a staff member, and he suspended the honor student for three days. Evans will also receive a payment of $15,000 for legal fees and $1 for “damages.” Given what students are currently saying about each other on Facebook and the horrific Formspring, this comment seems tame. Yet the principal felt Evans crossed the line and punished her all out of proportion. Schools are often quick, too quick, to stifle student speech that may be insulting but certainly poses no threat to personal safety, incites riots or is hateful. A clear distinction should be made between expressing an opinion that someone may not like versus comments that can cause personal harm. Complicating the issue further is how to distinguish between what high school students and college students may be allowed to express, who determines the conditions under which free expression should be suppressed, and what justification can be used to control speech when the “perpetrators” in college
are legal adults.

At of conscience – the essential FIRE, we consider this action qualities of individual liberty
and dignity.” The schools that FIRE reviewed were those included in the top 100 national universities and the top 50 best liberal arts colleges as reported in the 2009 issue of U. S. News and World Report. Also included were an additional 237 major public universities which, according to the report, are legally bound to protect the right to free speech for students. As bleak as the results seem to indicate, FIRE revealed that this was the third year in a row that the percentage of red-light public schools decreased, dropping from 79 percent three years ago to 67 percent today. “Since public universities are legally bound to protect their students’ First Amendment rights, any percentage above zero is unacceptable, so much work remains to be done,” FIRE reports. “However, we are encouraged by this ongoing positive trend.” Private universities, which are not bound by the First Amendment but promise free speech to students and faculty, also improved their ratings, dropping red-light percentages from 70 percent to 65 percent this year. Progress is noted, but FIRE states that speech codes still “impermissibly violate those promises.” Because the First Amendment regulates only government conduct, students at private institutions have no legal guarantee of protection. According to FIRE’s study, “This does not mean, however, that students and faculty members at private schools are not entitled to free expression. In fact, most private universities explicitly promise freedom of speech and academic freedom, presumably to lure the most talented students and faculty, since most people would not want to study or teach where they could not speak and write freely.” As an example, Syracuse University’s student handbook states that it is “committed to the principle that freedom of expression is essential to the search for truth, and consequently welcomes and encourages the expression of different and varied opinions, and of dissent.” Yet, despite this, Syracuse, like many other red-light universities, prohibits speech that would be protected elsewhere under the First Amendment, FIRE claims. Determining what constitutes permissible speech is subjective. Most speech is protected except for specific types of speech that the Supreme Court has ruled an exception
under the First Amendment: “speech that incites reasonable people to immediate violence, so-called ‘fighting words’ (face-to-face confrontations that lead to physical altercations), harassment, true threats and intimidation, obscenity, and libel.” One of the more troublesome restraints are the socalled “free-speech zones” – areas on campus, often in remote locations, that are designated for rallies or demonstrations and often require prior permits or advance approval from the university. “Such ‘prior restraints’ are generally inconsistent with the First Amendment,” according to FIRE. Constitutional quandaries The debate is loaded with constitutional quandaries. When a controversial speaker at a college event that’s attended by hundreds or even thousands of students is shouted down by a dozen activists, is it permissible for 12 individuals to infringe on the rights of the majority who have a right to hear what the speaker has to say? If that speaker spews hateful words against minority students, is it right for the campus to allow the speech? If the Westboro Baptist Church decides to picket the funeral of a fallen hero, do we as a society have a right to suppress their speech, no matter how despicable it may be? Do students have a right to belittle and attack their classmates on social networking sites like Formspring? Because it can lead to all sorts of repressive ends, censorship is not the American way. Colleges in particular should be safe havens for the airing of new ways of thinking and creative expressions of ideas. Yet there are limits on what can be said in public. Our powers of imaginative speech that push the envelope have outpaced our ability to sort out what crosses the line into the realm of the impermissible. As technological advancements and societal incivility encourage both exceptional and depraved selfexpression, we can expect more and more First Amendment challenges in court. Let us hope our judges have the wisdom and the intelligence to preserve America’s basic liberties without trespassing on individual rights. It’s a balancing act of enormous significance.

Q. Roger: I have had a Ford F-150 for about two years now and I have noticed since it was new, that it burns around a quart of oil in about 1,500 miles. I took it to the dealer when I noticed the problem and they said that it Dave Stall was normal. I find that hard to believe. I’ve been driving for over 30 years and have never experienced this kind of oil burning. I never see any smoke when I start the truck up or even while driving down the road. I have even stomped on it to see if I could see smoke and there is nothing there. I use the correct oil as recommended by the factory and I even use a factory filter and still I have to add a quart of oil every 1,500 miles? What is your take on this problem? A. Dave: Concerning your F-150, you are not going to like my answer. As you may know, I was a service manager at the dealership for 30 years and your problem — as you call it — is considered normal in the eyes of the manufacturer thanks to the ruling of the California Air Resources Board and National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration. These government agencies feel oil burning is a normal byproduct of a combustion engine. That gives the manufacturer an out and the dealership can’t do anything about it, especially under warranty. The reason you don’t see any smoke is because the catalytic converter burns off any oil before it enters the atmosphere. If you wanted to pay to have the engine overhauled the dealership would certainly do it for you, but what is the cost of a quart of oil compared to an engine overhaul? I personally would opt for the quart of oil route. It also forces you to

look under the hood, which we all neglect time to time! Q. Phil: I have an older car with a sagging headliner. It sags so bad it actually lays on my head like a scarf. I can’t take anyone with me in the car because of the embarrassment. I was told by a buddy to stick thumbtacks in the ceiling and that should hold the headliner up. Oh, one more thing — it doesn’t hang down as far if it’s cold outside. But if the temperature gets above 70 degrees, that is when it really drops. Do you have another suggestion other than thumbtacks? The car is in perfect shape other than the headliner and I want to keep it as a classic. A. Dave: You do not want to use thumbtacks. That could be dangerous, or at the very least, painful. Take the car to an upholstery shop and they can repair the headliner or replace it with a hard compound liner. Depending on the make, model and year, you can even get the original replacement so the vehicle keeps its original condition for classic status for under $200 — depending on the vehicle and whether it has a sunroof. Q. Clyde: With the smog monsters going after motorcycles next, does that mean all custom exhaust pipes will disappear? You mean we will finally have quiet Harley-Davidson’s cruising our streets in harmony? I can’t wait — don’t get me wrong, I love Harley-Davidson, I just hate the noise they make. A. Dave: Sorry to hear that — I thought they sounded pretty cool! Right now, after-market exhaust pipes on any motorcycle are illegal — even ones you buy from the dealerships. It is like any other law; it is on the books, so if a police officer wants to stop you, he has a hundred reasons to do so. Be careful!

Carmel Valley Dons tackle football sign ups Registration is now open for the Carmel Valley Dons Spring 8-Man Tackle football. Divisions are grade base meaning that there is no weight limits. Players are divided into four divisions consisting of a 1st-2nd grade team, 3rd-4th grade team, 5th-6th grade team, and 7th-8th grade team. It is very exciting to finally have a spring tackle football league in the North County. It should really allow players to develop their skills in preparation for next season and high school football. The season will consist of seven or eight games and last from the first week of March until the week before Memorial Day weekend. Practices will start in mid-February and take place two times per week. Andre Johnson, the head coach of the 3rd4th grade team added, “It’s developmental tackle football and is intended to compliment other spring sports as some of my players are also playing lacrosse and baseball at the same time. In other words, unlike tackle football in the fall season, it is ok to miss a game(s) or practice due to conflicts. There will probably be some overlap between the current winter basketball, rugby, baseball, and lacrosse leagues – that’s OK
too.” Team sizes will be small with a maximum team size of 16 players. Games will be played locally here in San Diego County. There are no special teams in eight-man tackle football and games only last 50 minutes with a running clock. There are no weight limits and no playoffs, just a bunch of kids getting together with their friends and coaches and playing some tackle football. To sign up, please visit the Carmel Valley Dons website at www.cvdons.com. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football (where tomorrow’s high school football players play youth football) was formed in 2010 to create a very competitive Division 1 football program in the Carmel Valley area to prepare top athletes for high school football. The league's home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School and is proud to wear their colors. Informally nicknamed "Little Dons" by the Cathedral High football players, they contribute much of their first year success to the support of Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and athletic director David Smola.

Freeze Frame Carmel Valley photographer publishes book featuring unique images from Antarctica By Karen Billing/Staff Writer
F
ew people can say they’ve been surrounded by a sea of penguins. Carmel Valley resident Steve Gould can and has amazing photographs as proof. Gould recently published a book of photography from his memorable trip to Antarctica, called “To the End of the Earth, A Journey to the Southern Ocean.” While Gould has photographed sea turtles in Hawaii, monkeys in a Bali forest and lion cubs in Kenya, his absolute favorite subject has been the Antarctica penguins. “Nothing can really beat the penguins,” Gould said. “My wife and I think of that trip as a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We dreamt about penguins and icebergs for weeks after we got back. We really went to the end of the earth, that’s how we felt…we felt like we weren’t anywhere normal or usual. You really can’t beat those penguins in their own environment.”

The Low and Slow Running Club presents checks with funds raised from Red Nose Run The Low and Slow Running Club presented a check on Jan. 15 to representatives from The Semper Fi Fund and Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. The club’s 19th Annual Red Nose Run held in December generated $17,800 to benefit the two organizations. Representatives Wendy Lethin and Michelle Pius were presented with the checks last Saturday at the Stratford Cafe in Del Mar. “Thank you to the Low and Slow Running Club and all who participated in the Red Nose Run for all you do for the Semper Fi Fund. I look forward to this event every year, not only for the great success in raising funds and awareness for the two charities, but for the great time enjoyed by all!” said Wendy. Michelle added, "We at Fresh Start deeply appreciate the continuing support by the Low and Slow Running Club, and that of all of the merchants, sponsors and participants in the run. The monetary contributions we receive benefit kids in desperate need of facial reconstruction." “A great time was enjoyed by all during the run, but the best part of all was presenting the checks for two very worthwhile local charities,” said Al Bernotas, original member of the Low and Slow Running Club.

Farmers Open a big opportunity for golfers By Phil Dailey Staff Writer For one area golfer, next week’s Farmers Insurance Open is more than just another golf tournament, though he will try and tell himself that it’s not. Anthony Paolucci has made a name for himself already in the golf world as he was named the Rolex Junior Golfer of the Year last fall, an honor designated for golf’s best national player among 12- to 18year-olds. Paolucci, who lives in Del Mar, is currently a senior at La Jolla Country Day and has committed to USC to play collegiately. It was announced last week that Paolucci earned a sponsors’ exemption to play in the event at Torrey Pines Golf Course. “I had a really good summer in junior golf … and as a local player in the area asking for a sponsors exemption couldn’t hurt,” Paolucci said. “It ended up working out really well.” Paolucci said he and his father simply crafted an e-mail with his resume and sent it in. “It’s such a great field, and I knew it was going to be a difficult

Del Mar resident Anthony Paolucci, a senior at La Jolla Country Day School, is scheduled to compete next week in the Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course. field to get in,” he said. “I was fortunate to be selected. Obviously I want to play well, but I also want to enjoy the week since this is my first Tour event. Whatever happens, I’m almost in a win-win situation here so just go out and enjoy it.” Typically, the Torrey Pines event is one of the biggest of the early season as golf’s elite players come together for the first time.
This year’s field includes Rocco Mediate, Angel Cabrera, John Daly, Bubba Watson as well as Phil Mickelson and likely Tiger Woods, who has not officially committed, but is expected to play in the event for the first time in three years. Mickelson, of course, is one of San Diego’s greatest players and has won the event three times. It’s fitting that he will play a practice round with Paolucci, an up-andcomer who just may be the next great golfer in the area. “That’s going to be a blast,” Paolucci said. Though he describes his first Tour event as a win-win, there are also some high stakes if he plays well among golf’s best players. Last season for the Torreys, he demonstrated just how good he is at such a young age. "He hits the ball a ton, he's got a great short game, but far and a way what stands out is his emotional maturity on the golf course and how he understands the game of golf," said Bill Cahoone, the golf coach at LJCD. "He doesn't really get nervous on the golf course, you don't see him get upset. He's definitely learned those lessons along

One of Paolucci’s goals is to be named to the Walker Cup, which is the amateur equivalent to the Ryder Cup. A good showing at the PGA level will go a long way in earning that honor. “It’s just another tournament,” Paolucci said. “If I can think of it like that … if I’ve got a 5-footer for birdie out there, it’s still a 5-footer. There shouldn’t be any more pressure out there because it is a Tour event.”

By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer Sipping coffee at a sidewalk cafe in jeans and trucker cap, Solana Beach musician Tyson Motsenbocker is the picture of down-to-earth ease. It’s fitting, then, that his songs have an equally authentic vibe, heavy on acoustics and personal, poetic lyrics. Here, Motsenbocker, who hails from rural Washington state, talks about his recent freshman release “Until it Lands,” and sheds some light on what’s next for this rising star. How’d you get interested in music? It’s a funny story. My dad was a trapeze artist and trumpet player in a circus. He stopped by the time I was a kid, but I always knew that music a part of him. My mom had a piano in our basement that I was always toying with. She must have noticed that I had an interest in music because when she found out about a good deal on guitar lessons through our church, she signed me up. And, it turned out I was pretty good at it. I’ve been playing guitar ever since then, and I also played jazz in high school and college.
When did you start writing lyrics? I started writing pretty early, around fifth grade. I wrote a song and it ended up wining a poetry contest, so as a kid, that encouraged me to write more. At what point did you start performing live? That’s another funny story. In seventh grade, two of my buddies and me played at a school assembly. I’ll never forget: We played “Wonderwall” by Oasis and everyone thought it was cool.
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 > 7:00–8:30 p.m.
It’s funny to look back at now, but that was the single moment I can point to when an onstage performance really clicked for me. What was the impetus behind your most recent album? It was inspired by my Mom, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I’m happy to say she’s doing well now, but there was a time we didn’t know if she was going to make it. A lot of the lyrics were written while I processing through that time of my life. Some of it tends to be sad, but my music is an expression of what I’m feeling. I think that genuineness is part of what makes music such a beautiful thing, and what an audience can connect to. And I think there’s a lot of hope in my lyrics too, so it’s not a total downer. How’d you pick the name “Until it Lands?” That was based on something my sister said. She was talking about how nobody ever thinks tragedy is going to happen to them. Tragedy is something that we all know looms over us from far away, but none of us really think about it — that is, until it lands right on us. That struck me, so I went with the name. I also noticed your album has a drawing of bicy-
So, which one is it today: Do you want to be in a band, or play solo? Right now I really like the band I play with. I’ve been working with the drummer from Janu and the Whale Sharks. His name is Bumper, which is just cool. But he’s also an amazing drummer. Because of him, the drum parts are really prominent on this album, and I don’t anyone else who could play them like him. What’s next? That’s a good question. I’ve always said I don’t want to be a rock star. I just want to make a living playing my songs. That’s my dream. I’ve got some tours coming up, and I’m hoping to play more local venues, like Belly Up. I think I’m getting close to finally being able to do what I love full time. That’s all I want. “Until it Lands” was produced by Squalrus Records/Kokua Records. It can be purchased via iTunes or amazon.com.

To mark the occasion of his father’s 100th birthday, Ron Reagan has written an intimate look at his father’s life told from the perspective of someone who knew him better than any friend or colleague. Ron observed the very qualities that made the future president a powerful leader. Yet for all of their shared experiences, there was much that Ron never knew about his father’s past, and he sets out to understand this beloved, if often enigmatic, figure. Reagan will be interviewed by Phyllis Pfeiffer, Publisher, La Jolla Light, Del Mar Times, Solana Beach Sun, Rancho Santa Fe Review, and the Carmel Valley News.

cle with handlebars at each end, going in opposite directions. What’s the story with that? The bicycle is actually a reoccurring theme on this album. The photo on the cover is my mom at 23, when she biked from Seattle to Boston. I sing about that in one of my songs, too. But the illustrated bike pulling in opposite directions is about the tug-of-war you can feel from internal conflicts, or just being indecisive. That’s especially true for me as an artist. One day I want to be a solo artist, the next day I want to play in a band.

By Diana Saenger Contributor If Arthur Miller were alive today he would probably be amused to find two degrees of separation between his Willy Loman character and a killer of zombies. That’s because playing the lead in the Globe's revival of “Death of a Salesman” is Jeffrey DeMunn, who stars in AMC’s hit television series “The Walking Dead.” “Death of a Salesman,” directed by Pam MacKinnon (an Obie and Lilly Award winning New York-based director) and winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, runs in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theater Jan. 22-Feb. 27. DeMunn played the role of Willy last year at the Dallas Theater Center and admits he rarely repeats a production. “But in terms of the man and the world he lived at the moment, I knew there was much more I had to learn. So when the opportunity came up, I said yes.” There’s a reason “Death of a Salesman” continues to be produced around the country, The story of Willy’s misunderstanding of himself throughout his career as a traveling salesman and how he eventually realizes The American Dream has passed him by – is still both poignant and relevant. “There’s no question that could be said about any well-drawn character in a book or play,” DeMunn said. “Willy is sewn into the fabric of all of our lives, and if that was not so, the play would not be as wonderful, artful or meaningful as it is, mostly because it’s done by Arthur Miller.” With DeMunn’s impressive resume of nearly 35 years of acting; it’s apparent he could fill any shoes. Called a favorite of writer/producer/director Frank Darabont, DeMunn appeared in “The Shawshank Redemption,” “The Green Mile,” “The Majestic,” Stephen King's “The Mist,” the 1988 remake of “The

On stage DeMunn’s Broadway credits include “Our Town,” “The Price,” “Bent,” “Spoils of War,” “Sleight of Hand” and “K2” for which he was nominated for a Tony. He also enjoys many off-Broadway credits. The characters he picks to play are quite diverse, but DeMunn said he has no particular method for getting into character – as a salesman or even a killer. “I often do research or look at footage, but sometimes that may not be appropriate if the script is a little different,” he said. “I just try to see what this human is about, stay as nimble as I can, and always try to tell the truth. ‘The Walking Dead’ was a complete surprise. When I got a call from Frank asking me to come to Atlanta and kill zombies, I said yes without knowing anything about it.” The “Salesman” cast includes: Jordan Baker, Ben Diskant, Jesse Jensen, Robin Moseley, Tyler Pierce, John Procaccino, Deborah Radloff, Lucas Caleb Rooney, Ryman Sneed, Adrian Sparks and Jonathan Spivey. The creative team features Marion Williams (scenic design), Mathew LeFebvre (costume design), Rui Rita (lighting design), Jeremy J. Lee (sound design) and Lavinia Henley (stage manager).

In addition to his book, on sale at blurb.com, Gould’s work will be on display at the Pacific Southwest Wildlife Association’s 38th Annual Open California Wildlife Art Fest at Liberty Station on Feb. 12-13. Gould is one of 18 artists in the juried event and will display works from his Antarctica trip and new underwater life shots from a recent trip to Indonesia. Gould has taken photographs since 1965, but spent most of his working life as a chemistry professor at Oregon State University. He retired from teaching in 2003 and was able to focus on his art more seriously. “This is what I call life after life,” Gould said. Gould specializes in landscape and wildlife photography, particularly the under sea world, as he is an experienced diver. He became a certified diver in 1981, but didn’t start doing underwater shoots until 1991. It is an indescribable feeling, he said, of being underwater, weightless, surrounded by photogenic and colorful fish and coral. Gould has completed diving shoots all over the world—places such as Fiji,
they stayed for seven days. “Once we got on land we were on our own and we could go anywhere we wanted as long as you don’t interfere with the wildlife,” Gould said. “We could not approach any closer than 15 feet, but if the animals want to come up and give you a kiss they can and they did.” The penguins were a highlight, coming right up to Gould as he watched. Some are small, others like the King penguin are more like 3 feet tall. The King penguins have striking yellow features on their black and white bodies—the chicks are covered with fluffy brown feathers. The photos were on display at an August 2010 show at Gallery 21 in addition to being put into the new book. “The show was incredibly successful, it averaged 145 visits a day during the 12 days of the show,” Gould said. “The response I got from everybody was so positive that I knew I had to do the book.” He completed his first draft before leaving for his Indonesia trip and it was published through Blurb.com in November. Check out the book at blurb.com/user/store/diversteve. For more photographs and information, visit stevegouldphotography.com.

Galapagos, Red Sea and Palau. Along with his wife Mary Marshall, Gould traveled to Indonesia in September for five weeks, spending most of that time underwater. “It was just incredible,” said Gould of the some 70 dives they did in different parts of Indonesia. He took more than 3,000 pictures in Indonesia, which is nothing compared to his haul from Antarctica. He took 20,000 pictures in his 26 days on the Antarctic cruise. It’s a huge undertaking to look through all those photos and find the real “hero shots,” he said—the ones meant to be shown and sold. With his wife, Gould left for Antarctica on Christmas 2009. They flew to Lima, Peru, to the tip of Argentina, a city called Ushuaia that is considered the southernmost city in the world. “It was a 35-hour odyssey from San Diego to Ushuaia,” Gould said. “We spent a few days there and then we got on the ship. It was an expedition, an absolute adventure.” The Cheesemans Ecology Safari cruise included stops in the Falklands and South Georgia Islands before reaching Antarctica, where

Exotic Thai soups seduce the senses with the flavors of curry, coconut milk, fish stock, lemon grass and kaffir lime. Tom Yum Goong, a domestic fave and great flu remedy is a sour and spicy lemon grass shrimp soup; another popular choice is Tom Kah Gai, a chicken coconut milk soup, and glass noodle soup that usually accompanies a throbbing chili dish to soothe and cool the palate.

The name of the soup is derived from the marriage of the wonderful flavors, but I surmise the etymology comes from the heavy-duty protein load this soup packs, for fortification and sustainability for the wedding night.

iPhone and Verizon Three solo-show exhibitions open at MCA San Diego IF YOU GO sitting in a tree... By Mark Daughters, Interlaced San Diego Inc. Recently, Verizon and Apple announced that they were finally joining forces. The mythical beast that is the Verizon iPhone exists and it will be released out of its cage in early February. Since this announcement, I’ve been slammed with calls from clients. They all want to know what they need to do to be ready for this iPhone rebirth. First off, I want to identify the main two different groups of people who want the iPhone on Verizon. •Those with iPhones now on AT&T •Those who are on Verizon with a Blackberry or Android phone. To those AT&T challenged people: If you have bought your iPhone in the last year or so (or any smartphone for that matter), take heed. AT&T recently upped the early termination fee to $325! (minus $10 dollars for each paid month you pay them from the start of your contract.) It gets better. That fancy iPhone 4 you just got, less than a year ago? It only will work on AT&T. That’s right, you’ll have to buy a brand new iPhone to use it to talk to Verizon’s “Can you hear me now?” guy. Put down your pitch forks! It isn’t AT&T’s or Verizon’s fault! The technology used in AT&T iPhones, known as GSM, is completely different than Verizon uses for their network, known as CDMA. If you look closely, the outer antenna of the Verizon iPhone is slightly different than the AT&T version. The utopian future in my dreams sees a day where one iPhone could use either. Sadly my top from Inception is still spinning on that one. (See Inception if you haven’t already.) Also, AT&T captives, keep in mind some of the trade offs. The Verizon iPhone, as with any Verizon phone, can not be on a call and view the web at the same time. This might be quite annoying to those who depend on YouTube and FaceBook while their mother-in-law is on the other line. This is only the case for where you’re not connected to Wifi, take note. Not a huge deal, but some might prefer to drop the call from said relative. To those current
Verizon customers: Your wait is finally over! (Next month) You’ll be able to pickup the same fancy, video chatting, iPod playing, App downloading machine that you’ve wanted for so long. You are even privileged enough to preorder it before any one else on Feb. 3. What could be better! Well, a few things. (No not the on screen keyboard. iPhone’s keyboard is better than your BlackBerry’s, I don’t care what you say!) Big V just so happens to be ending their upgrade-yourphone early plan just in time for all you iConverts. You’ll have to wait as much as 20 months to be eligible for the nice and easy $199 iPhone price. Sorry. Also, you’ll want to be VERY careful when moving your data from a Blackberry. I’ve seen far too many clients loose all of their data by using BlackBerries awful PC/Mac software. I’d recommend you contact someone who has done it before if you don’t know how, or don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself. (Tip — I’ve had great success with my clients using Gmail’s sync capability.) One final word on this monumental occasion. It may seem like the end of all of your troubles; You will be able to make calls! You’ll be able to have the best phone in the world! You’ll, also, want to make sure that you aren’t the jealous type. The people in the know don’t think this Verizon announcement will throw Apple off of their NewiPhone-Every-Summer schedule. So if you have to have the latest and greatest, but don’t like to pay for it, keep that in mind. Neither AT&T or Verizon will be giving you the iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called) if you’ve just upgraded recently. “Can you hear me now?” “Good, now pay up!” Mark Daughters, Interlaced San Diego Inc., can be reached at 858-699-8958; 1201 Camino Del Mar, Unit 102, Del Mar, CA 92014; www.interlacedinc.com

Author likens writing short stories to being a ‘cat burglar’ Editor’s Note: Short-story writer and best-selling novelist Amy Bloom was the guest speaker at the Jan. 10 luncheon of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society held at The Grand Del Mar. The six-event luncheon series is sponsored by Northern Trust, the RSF Community Center and this newspaper. Nonfiction writer Daniel Okrent, who was the first public editor of The New York Times, will address the next Feb. 3 luncheon. His latest book is: “Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.” By Arthur Lightbourn Contributor Amy Bloom’s latest book, “Where the God of Love Hangs Out,” is a collection of short stories. Well, not exactly. More like, two quartets of character-connected stories forming two novellas, plus four free-standing stories connected only by the author’s determination to “entice, seduce, enter and alter” her readers as she has been doing for the past 17 years. Bloom is the author of two previous books of short stories, “Come to Me” (1993) and “A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You” (2000); two novels, “Love Invents Us” (1997) and “Away” (2007); and one nonfiction psychology book titled “Normal: Transsexual CEOs, Cross-dressing Cops and Hermaphrodites with Attitude” (2002). She has been nominated
for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. She compares the job of writing short stories, her favorite medium, to that of being a cat burglar — “in and out in a relatively short time….to accomplish something shocking — and lasting — without throwing around the furniture.” We interviewed her in the library of The Grand Del Mar Hotel and Resort on Jan. 10 prior to her luncheon talk to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. Bloom, 57, has a quick wit but when it comes to what she considers the “serious” business of writing, admits to being slow and meticulous. Her stories, she says, go through some 30 rewrites before she is satisfied. “It’s more like chiseling stone than anything else.” Her first book of 12 short stories, “Come to Me,” took six years to write and was published when she was 40, a full-time working mother and psychotherapist who wrote after 10 p.m. when her three children were in bed. Bloom was born in New York City. Her grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russia. “I have to say I have a real soft spot for Jewish vaudeville,” she said, “because of my family’s background. My parents were first generation American and my aunt and uncle sort of made

Amy Bloom with her latest book, ‘Where the God of Love Hangs Out.’ their careers in the Yiddish opera.” As a result, in her fiction, she can’t resist dropping in a few Jewish jokes now and then, like in the closing lines of her story, “Fort Useless and Fort Ridiculous,” where, at a home memorial service, the deceased is remembered with the joke about the Jewish grandmother who says to God when he returns her little grandson to her safely after the child had been swept off the beach by a giant wave, “Excuse me? He had a hat.” Both of Bloom’s parents were professional writers: her father was a freelance journalist and author of several books, her mother, a gossip columnist.
As a child, Bloom was an avid reader, first, of comic books at the barber shop where her father hung out, then, of anything she could get her hands on at the local public library where her parents deposited her on Saturdays; but for many years she resisted becoming a writer because, she said, she thought it was “too hard.” Her father later told her it was in her genes. She earned a B.A. in political science and theater, magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Wesleyan University, performed with a New York repertory theater, and later earned an M.S.W. (master’s of social work) from Smith College and opened a private psychotherapy practice in Connecticut where she still lives with her architect husband. Even though she makes her living as a writer, she also continues to teach. For a decade, she was a lecturer in creative writing (2000-2010) at Yale University, where she taught “Advanced Fiction Writing” and “Writing for Children,” and is currently a teacher and writer in residence at Wesleyan University “because I’m a worrier and it’s nice to have a back-up.” Of her writing, she says, “I’m not selling anything. There’s not a lesson I wish them [her readers] to take home, but I think it’s true that one writes as one is, so people can draw their own conclusions.”

“I find people interesting,” she said. “I think people do sometime surprise us, not as often as we might like, but they do. People’s feelings are often quite different than their actions, and what people think they will do, is not in fact what they do. All those gaps, like the gap between the sidewalk and the street, that gap is the most interesting to me.” In her first quartet of stories about Claire, a middle-age academic, and her best friend on the faculty, William, an overweight, intellectually stimulating Englishman, each married to other people, the gap begins with a 2 a.m. touch as they were watching CNN together while their spouses were asleep in other rooms. That initial story of the Clair-William quartet, “Your Borders, Your Rivers, Your Tiny Villages,” begins with the words “At two o’clock in the morning, no one is to blame.” It goes on to explore a surprising series of consequences. The character of Claire, Bloom said, isn’t based on any one person she met or even treated in her practice as a psychotherapist, “but I know lots of people who are not unlike Claire. She’s smart. She’s a little prickly and she thought she knew herself and she didn’t, which, to me, is always one of the more interesting adult situations.” The second quartet tells of an even more scandalizing twosome named Julia, a white music critic and recent widow of a famous black jazz musician, and Lionel, her 19year-old stepson, who, in their mutual grief, give into a night of love that haunts them both for years, with Julia turning to relationships with another woman and eventually with a gay man. Bloom’s views on sexuality in America?
“I think at this stage in America it’s really a civil rights conversation. It’s not really about sex. The history of America, I’m happy to say, is one in which, once we grant people civil rights, we don’t roll them back. The real issue in America is: Who is a person? Who is a citizen? Who is a human being? “My grandchildren will look back on the period when we wouldn’t let gay people marry and say, ‘Are you crazy? What were people thinking?’ “My own experience is that no one who is happy or happily married gives a damn what other people do in the bedroom. Unhappy people care a lot. Happy people not so much.” She said since she was 13 she realized she was bisexual. “I didn’t have a name for it, but I just figured most people liked Chinese food and hamburgers. I didn’t think people thought they had to choose.” Her advice to aspiring writers? “Just read and write,” she says. “Please don’t worry about being published. Please don’t worry about being famous. Just worry about writing a good sentence. And read, read, read. Read people who are not like you or who do not have your point of view. Read people who are foreign to you and even people who are hateful to you, but who are good writers.” She is currently working on her third novel, “In Praise of Folly,” about two sisters and their father — “their ups and downs, relationships and misunderstandings” over a period of 30 years. It begins in the late 1930s in Hollywood. Her first children’s book, “Little Sweet Potato,” is scheduled for publication next year, and she is currently working on her second “Sweet Potato” book.

Notre Dame Academy to host golf outing for wounded soldiers Notre Dame Academy will host 1824 wounded soldiers to a rehabilitative game of golf on Thursday, Feb. 3. This service project is being held as part of Notre Dame Academy’s celebration of Catholic Schools Week 2011, the theme of which is “A+ for America Catholic Schools.” “Operation: Game On!” established in 2008 by Pin Pals Junior Links, provides golf rehabilitation for physically and mentally challenged military personnel who have returned home with extreme physical and mental disabilities. The doctors, prosthetic specialists and counselors at the Naval Medical Center San Diego have determined that golf has become the number one sport for use as an essential link to the rehabilitation process for wounded soldiers. Golf gives
the soldiers confidence to regain an active life style and provides hope for a bright future. Notre Dame Academy parents will host wounded soldiers at area golf clubs to a fun game of golf, followed by lunch. Students at Notre Dame Academy will gather golf supplies, such as hats, golf balls and tees, which will be distributed to the golfers and other soldiers. As stated by Laura Perkins, assistant principal at Notre Dame Academy, “Part of our Catholic tradition is service to our community. It is important for our students to recognize the service of the men and women in our military who sacrifice daily for our country. As part of our Catholic Schools Week celebration, we are proud that our students can give back
in a small way to these brave men and women.” Prospective parents are invited to attend an Open House on Sunday, Jan. 30, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Parent information presentations will be held at the Notre Dame Academy Computer Lab as follows: Pre-school and Pre-Kindergarten: 10:30 a.m.-11 a.m. Kindergarten-3rd Grade: 11:30 a.m. noon 4th - 8th Grades: 12:30 p.m. -1 p.m. Notre Dame Academy, 4345 Del Mar Trails Road, San Diego, CA 92130; www.ndasd.org; (858) 509-2300; Kindergarten-eighth grade.

With plastic, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;numbers gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Debbie Sandler I am not really a New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution maker. This year, however, the decision to change over to re-usable plastic water bottles coincided with the New Year. Back at the beginning of December I saw a remarkable movie called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bag Itâ&#x20AC;?. One of the many valuable things I learned from this film was the actual â&#x20AC;&#x153;costâ&#x20AC;? of Debbie Sandler the single-use water bottles. Taking into account the fossil fuels and energy required to manufacture and transport plastic bottles to their destination it is estimated that the amount of crude oil used to make a SINGLE USE plastic bottle is one-quarter the volume of the bottle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, fill a plastic water bottle 25 percent with oil and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the amount of crude oil (a non-renewable natural resource!) it takes to make that bottle and get it to you! That was enough for me to decide that finding and using an alternative to single-use plastic bottles was something I could no longer put off. A friend of mine suggested that I pick up some BPA-free plastic water bottles and use those instead of the single-use water bottles that I purchased in cases at the grocery store. There has been a lot of attention surrounding the compound BPA, a chemical that has been used in the production of plastic water bot-
tles (such as sports bottles), and is (See table of resin codes.) To further avoid exposure to believed to be leached into the water The rule of thumb for basic safety harmful chemicals used in plastics proover time. I had heard of BPA and for petroleum-based plastics is that the duction, here are some suggestions: wondered â&#x20AC;˘ what the heck Use a paper it was so I did towel instead what you of plastic wrap donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever do in the IMAGE ABBREVIATION POLYMER NAME USES unless you microwave. want way â&#x20AC;˘ Soda bottles, water more inforD o n ' t bottles, cooking oil mation than microwave Polyethylene terephthalate PETE or PET bottles, peanut butter you asked food in plastic jars forâ&#x20AC;Ś.

rather than plastic. â&#x20AC;˘ Discard scratched or worn plastic containers. â&#x20AC;˘ Hand wash plastics to reduce wear and tear. To make plastics hard or soft, chemicals such as Bisphenol-A, more commonly abbreviated as BPA, and phthalates (THAL-ates) are added during manufacturing. Scientists have overwhelming evidence that these and other chemicals are affecting humans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically babies in utero and children. BPA and phthalates are linked to numerous health problems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cancer, diabetes, autism, attention deficit disorder, obesity, thyroid function, infertility and even genital formation. Although bisphenol A came to fame as a potential poison in our water bottles, significant exposure comes from the linings of canned foods as well. It is safe to say that plastics that are marked with recycle codes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with recycle codes 3 or 7 may be made with BPA and it is best to avoid these when possible. (As an unrelated addendum to the above, I discovered something of additional value while doing research for this article. Our 10-year-old cockatiel, a perfectly healthy bird, died suddenly and pre-maturely about a month ago. I happened to read that when cooking with Teflon or any non-stick pan at high temperatures you should avoid doing so if there is a bird in the room. Please be aware that emissions from this type of pan are deadly to birds.) The amount of migration - the movement of free toxins from plastic into the substances they contact â&#x20AC;&#x201D; (in this case itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your food and water) and corresponding toxicological effects are highly disputed topics. It appears that there is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;best plasticâ&#x20AC;? to contain food or drink. I hope that this article will clarify this viewpoint. By the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finished reading, my goal is that you should be closer to forming your own evaluation of plastics or at the very least, have a starting point for further inquiry.

Prudential’s Polly Rogers lobbies Congress to help distressed homeowners Prudential California Realty Broker Associate Polly Rogers recently traveled to Washington D.C. to speak with a number of Congressional representatives about the challenges disPolly Rogers tressed homeowners are currently facing in working with the lending industry. Based out of Prudential’s Rancho Santa Fe office, Rogers is a 34-year industry veteran and a Coronado native. “I wanted to raise awareness about the lending industry’s lack of assistance to homeowners in relation to loan modifications, and their lack of accountability in the negotiation of many short sales,” said Rogers. “The hardships that consumers experience during the processing of loan modifications and short sales are a legitimate tragedy in our present economic reality. I feel it is my duty, as a broker who represents homeowners, to bring a greater awareness to the difficulties they are facing with the lending industry.” Rogers met with congressional representatives from four states, had lunch with Senator John Kyl of Arizona, and established new contacts with three local representatives, Brian Bilbray, Duncan Hunter and Darrel Issa. Since returning home, the “letters of experience” she shared with all of the representatives have resulted in follow-ups
from Bilbray, Issa and Kyl. “Instead of taking up a lot of time trying to explain my personal agenda, I felt it would be more powerful to provide ‘letters of experience’ from agents and homeowners who have been dealing with the inefficient handling of short sales and loan modifications,” said Rogers. “I provided everyone I met with a personalized folder full of these letters to encourage them to take this problem seriously. I am still requesting that agents and clients share their experiences with me, so I can continue to forward them to these representatives, as well as members of the House Financial Services Committee.” Rogers specializes in the purchase and sale of residential real estate, fine homes, investment properties, and acreage throughout Coastal North County, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe. Her comprehensive understanding of these unique areas, coupled with her extensive knowledge of local home values and economic conditions has ranked her in the upper echelons of the national real estate market for the majority of her career. “My philosophy has always been consistent,” explained Rogers, who is known for her business sense and dedication to her clients: “The best interests and priorities of my clients come first and foremost in my professional representation of their needs.” Polly Rogers can be reached in Prudential California Realty’s Rancho Santa Fe office on her direct line at (858) 774 – 2505.
