By Karen Billing Staff Writer Welcome to 2011. Here are five Carmel Valley people and stories to watch this year.

James “Jim” Peabody Since Superintendent Peabody officially took over the Del Mar Union School District in May, a sense of calm has appeared to come with him. At board meetings, Peabody’s 40 years of experience in education shines—he is knowledgeable, informative and genuinely seems to care about the students. Peabody also has a great sense of humor and when his mike is on, everyone is entertained.

This year Peabody’s biggest task will be finding a new home for the district office. The district has to be out of the Del Mar Shores property by May and Peabody is currently overseeing a potential purchase of a building on El Camino Real.

The Carmel Valley News asked community leaders to look back at the year that was and ahead to what 2011 holds. — Compiled by Karen Billing Manjeet Ranu, Carmel Valley Community Planning Board What was your organization's biggest accomplishment in 2010?

Solana Beach seeks joint ownership of fairgrounds

By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer It’s official: Solana Beach does not support Del Mar becoming sole owner of the fairgrounds, which it is currently trying to do.

During a Jan. 4 press conference, Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner said that instead, the city wants to see regional ownership of

the fairgrounds. Standing atop the hill at Solana Circle, Heebner told the more than 50 people gathered there that regional control was necessary because the entire region is impacted by what happens on that property, especially Solana Beach.

“Look behind us,” she said gesturing to the fairgrounds sprawled in the background. “The Del Mar

fairgrounds isn’t just in our back yard. It’s in our back room.”

She went on to say that Solana Beach does not support SB 1, the state senate bill that would authorize Del Mar to buy the fairgrounds from the state for $120 million.

Heebner called on senator Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, who helped write SB 1 and introduced it

to senate, to amend the bill so that it reflects regional ownership.

Senate is expected to vote on that bill within the next few months.

Solana Beach is proposing that the fairgrounds be owned and run by a joint powers authority (JPA), which would include Del Mar,

Report: San Diego home prices up

By City News Service Despite a recent dip in home prices, San Diego was among only four cities nationwide to record increasing prices between October 2009 and this past October, according to Standard & Poor's/CaseShiller Home Price Index released recently.

With all markets given a score of 100 in base year 2000, San Diego had an index score of 159.99 in October, repre-

senting a 3 percent increase compared to October 2009, according to the report.

The other cities where housing prices increased Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Nationwide, housing prices have been stalled for about five months, leading the head of the S&P Index Committee to worry over the possibility of slipping back into recession.

“The double-dip is

almost here, as six cities set new lows for the period since the 2006 peaks,” David Blitzer of S&P said.

“There is no good news in October's report. Home prices across the country continue to fall.”

Blitzer said sales of homes are down 25 percent in the U.S. since last year, the supply of unsold homes is up 50 percent and housing construction starts are near 30-year lows.

Saint Therese Carmel to present ‘The Very Grumpy Shepherd’ The musical theatre of Saint Therese of Carmel and Notre Dame Academy will present its annual Christmas production on Sunday, Jan. 9, at 2 p.m “The Very Grumpy Shepherd” will be performed in the new parish hall located at 4355 Del Mar Trails Rd. In an original script, set to Christmas music, the

story unfolds of an unhappy shepherd who just wants to be left alone.

Unfortunately, for Cranky Hanky, he and his brothers are tending their flocks near Bethlehem at the time Jesus is born.

In a series of vignettes, the disgruntled shepherd has many visitorsangels, star, and three wise men to help him learn the true meaning of Christmas

and why Jesus came to earth.

The musical play is free of charge and open to the community of Carmel Valley.

There will be a reception and arts and crafts fun immediately after the production. For information, visit the website www.sttheresecarmel.org or call the parish office (858) 481-3232.

Profile

Justin A. Zivin, M.D., Ph.D.

Pioneer stroke researcher urges community to advocate for stroke victims nationwide

By Arthur Lightbourn-When physician-scientist Justin Zivin was 37, an article in the Sunday magazine of the Boston Globe newspaper changed the focus and direction of his professional life — inspiring him to perform the earliest experiments aimed at combating strokes with the clot-busting drug tPA. The 1983 article on the biotech revolution then in progress mentioned that there was a drug in development called tPA that could dissolve blood clots.

“I was a neurologist at that time,” Zivin recalled, “and I was vaguely aware that tPA-type drugs were contraindicated (should not be used) for stroke, but I didn’t know why. So I started to check around and try to find out why …. and that led me from one step to another down the road to discovering that tPA had not been tested out properly and really deserved another chance.”

Zivin, now 64, is a professor of

neurosciences at the University of California San Diego, a staff physician at the VA hospital and coauthor of the just published book, “tPA for Stroke: The Story of a Controversial Drug” (Oxford University Press).

We interviewed Dr. Zivin at his home in Fairbanks Ranch while he was enjoying a week off with his family during the holiday season.

Even though the FDA approved tPA for stroke therapy 14 years ago, Zivin is still campaigning to get tPA administered in emergency rooms throughout the country when the stroke clock is ticking.

He’s hoping that volunteers with communication and fundraising skills will step up to built public awareness for stroke and its implications nationwide and get the message to Congress to ensure that every acute ischemic stroke victim in this country will have access to emergency tPA therapy — which, unfortunately, is not the situation today where only a small percent-

age of eligible stroke victims receive the life-saving, disability-combating drug. tPA, which stands for “Tissue Plasminogen Activator,” developed by the pharmaceutical company Genentech, has been shown to save lives and minimize the consequences of a stroke when administered within four-and-a-half hours of a stroke victim’s initial symptoms.

Yet for years, tPA was marginalized due to a tangled web of political, fiscal and medical circumstances that Zivin and co-author John Galbraith Simmons chronicle in their book. Put into perspective,

before tPA, treating stroke, or apoplexy as it was earlier called, was as futile as it had been for 2,000 years when doctors took a wait-andsee attitude, hoping the victim would somehow survive and the brain would eventually restore itself.

Although initially approved by the FDA in the 1980s for heart patients, tPA’s use for stroke victims only received FDA approval in 1996, so that even today if you or a loved one suffers a stroke, you may or may not receive the drug.

Stroke is the number three killer in the industrialized world, afflicting more than 750,000 Americans annually at a rate of one new stroke victim every 45 seconds and killing roughly three out of every 10. Zivin estimates that more than 200,000 stroke victims each year in the U.S. alone could improve or recover completely if treated with tPA. A stroke occurs, in most cases, when blood flow, to some part of

the brain, slows or stops. There are two types of strokes: ischemic (caused by clots) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). In 87 percent of the instances, the cause can be traced to a clog due to narrowed blood vessels or a clot.

Within minutes, when oxygen and nutrients cannot reach brain cells, tissue starts to feel deprived, the brain circuits malfunction, and an ischemic stroke begins. Symptoms, all the more treacherous because they are painless, include dizziness, vertigo, vision loss or troubled speech, numbness and inability to move the face, arm or leg, usually on one side of the body.

Why clots form is still unknown. A ruptured blood vessel, which causes bleeding into the brain, can also cause stroke and clot-caused strokes can transform into hemorrhagic strokes.

Possible hemorrhaging by tPA was an initial concern of See ZIVIN, page 5

ZIVIN continued from page 4 Genentech and by many neurologists along the road to tPA’s now general acceptance.

The recent data indicate hemorrhages only occur in 1 to 3 percent of ischemic stroke victims treated with tPA, which is considered an acceptable risk in treating a frequently fatal and potentially devastating disease.

Zivin is a quiet, intellectually vigorous, no nonsense man, one of those rare individuals driven by a need to “do something” that makes an important contribution to the betterment of his fellow human beings. He walks with tentative steps caused by tendonitis, the result of an extensive swimming regimen that he has since replaced in recent years with an equally avid and but less physicallydemanding regimen of reading books on history.

He was born in Chicago.

His father was an internist and family physician. His uncle Israel, his father’s brother, was a neurologist. So it was natural that he would gravitate towards medicine as a career — right?

“In one way,” he said, “but it was more complicated than that.” True, he accompanied his father on house calls and his father arranged for him to sit in on operations performed by colleagues.

“And I did find it interesting,” Zivin conceded, “but I also found it horrifying in another sense because they were cut-

ting up people.

“My interest always had been in science … and I was ‘appalled’ — perhaps too strong a word — but at least ‘not too happy’ that there was not more science in medicine.” Medicine, he felt, was concerned with “phenomenology,” the classification of diseases, but not much about what could be done about them. “What I was interested in was finding out what was wrong and what could be done about it,” he said.

As a result, he followed the advice of his neurologist uncle, who was on the faculty of Northwestern University’s medical school, to enter a new curriculum at Northwestern called the Medical Scientist Training Program that granted both an M.D. and a Ph.D. in physiology within six to eight years.

“And, I was in the first group who did that,” he said.

After receiving his doctorates in 1971 and 1972, Zivin did an internship at the University of Michigan Affiliated Hospitals and subsequently worked at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, to fulfill his military obligation as the Vietnam War was winding down.

“I was doing research on the biochemistry of the brain, but I wasn’t getting far with it. I was measuring all sorts of changes, but they weren’t necessarily getting us anyplace.”

One of his mentors at

NIH suggested that the animal model studies he was conducting with rabbits would work well for testing the efficacy of drugs.

“So I started doing that,” Zivin said, “and I’ve been doing it ever since.” His stroke research has been continuously and primarily been funded by federal agencies.

Following a residency in neurology at University of California San Francisco, he joined the faculty of the University of Massachusetts.

He immediately set up his research lab and soon after his introduction to tPA in the “Boston Globe” article, he began importuning Genentech for samples of tPA to allow him to lab test tPA for treating stroke.

Genentech was less than enthusiastic. tPA had been developed and is still used for treating heart attack and the company did not want to divert and possibly compromise its accepted usage for heart attacks.

Independently, Zivin, developed a novel method for mimicking a human stroke in rabbits with a string-activated snare ligature that created a controlled obstruction of blood flow to the rabbit’s brain similar to what a human stroke victim would experience. He would later inject clots into his animal models and, when he eventually obtained a small amount of tPA, would test the drug for its efficacy in combating the stroke in key experiments that he conducted over two

weeks in April 1985, with a team of lab technicians in his basement lab at the University of Massachusetts.

The results were impressive. Of the 11 rabbits that had received tPA, 10 were classified as normal both at 24 hours and again when checked a week later. In the other control group of 12 animals that received placebos, four were dead within a day and three others showed grossly abnormal features.

“Very few people are privileged to make a discovery and know that it’s important,” Zivin said of how he felt about the results. “That happens once or twice in a career. And I knew it then,” he said. Zivin revealed his discovery in a paper published in the journal “Science.” The second most satisfying moment in his career came in 1996 when, after nationwide

clinical trials, the FDA granted approval of tPA for stroke therapy.

Zivin emphasizes that a stroke can afflict anyone, at any age, any time, without warning, “so you have to be prepared in advance.” He recommends calling your nearest hospital to find out if it is a certified stroke center, and if not, determine where the closest stroke center is located.

“There is something that can be done about stroke. It’s no longer a fate worse than death,” he said. “And thirdly, you are not likely to get the drug tPA.” Nationwide, only between 3 and 8 percent of stroke patients get the treatment “because it’s expensive” requiring emergency facilities, including a CT scanner for diagnosis, and an at-theready medical team, includ-

ing neurologists and pharmacists, available 24/7. Zivin said ambulances in the county are now authorized when transporting stroke victims to bypass hospitals that are not certified stroke centers.

“And the fourth and most important thing is …

We need people who are willing to advocate for stroke patients, as do those who successfully advocate for breast cancer and Alzheimer’s patients.”

It is not necessarily celebrities who are needed, he said, but people who are good at public relations, congressional relations and fundraising. He hopes people with that kind of expertise will become advocates for stroke awareness and therapy.

• The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 hit close to home. 29-year-old Chad Keller, a Del Mar resident, was among those killed on American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon.

Residents, as did all Americans, reacted strongly to the tragedy: Torrey Pines students raised $5,228 in two days; Carmel Del Mar School planted an olive tree in memory of the lives lost; neighbors held candlelit vigils in community parks; Carmel Creek students created an “America Unite” poster with an American flag; and their handprints in red and blue that hung from the pedestrian bridge across Del Mar Heights Road.

At Carmel Valley’s Congregation Beth Am, Rabbi Arthur Zuckerman said attendance doubled after the attack.

“People just want to be comforted by words and prayer, they want reinforce-

ment that there is good in the world,” Zuckerman said.

The concept of a JPA has garnered support from the Solana Beach community, as was evident by the frequent outbursts of applause as Heebner spoke. Steve Goetsch, one of the dozens of residents who turned out to show support, said the

Solana Beach is just as impacted by the fairgrounds as Del Mar, and therefore should be part-owner.

Solana Beach residents are exposed to just as much noise and light pollution, traffic, and crime as Del Mar residents because there is no barrier between Solana Beach and the fairgrounds, he added.

Local resident finds artistic process ‘magical’ • Artist’s work on display at Solana Beach City Hall Gallery

By Diane Y. Welch Contributor Gregory Balogh is a sensitive artist whose use of color in his paintings is as much about seeing as it is about feeling. His color drenched canvasses evoke a mood and a realism that pull the viewer in.

While he can't explain where his talent originates — Balogh is a self-taught painter —his work is prolific, is held in several private and corporate collections, and covers a wide range of genres.

A recent engagement finds Balogh working with the concept of Eigenfrequencies, energy vibrations innate in all things. Balogh explained that the seven colors of the rainbow resonate like music and give off characteristic frequencies that harmonize with each other. He paints by sensing these vibrations.

“I see color, obviously, but I can also feel color,” he said.

The resulting painting has a harmony about it, like creating a pleasant chord on a musical instrument when each note is played together.

As a younger man, Balogh visited museums and gazed upon some of the Old World canvasses from 16th and 17th century Europe.

“About 80 percent of these old works had no energy, they were flat. And then there were ones that literally knocked me back, they had so much energy,” he recalled. As a child he would draw and paint by numbers for fun. Then after high school he attended Palomar College and studied illustration and graphic design, although he had no formal fine art training.

“But I truly just wanted to be a painter. It must be a past life thing,” he said.

Balogh, born in Tonawanda, New York, in 1966, grew up in Encinitas.

The family moved there in 1978, when his father, a nuclear physicist was hired as an electrical engineer by

Greg Balogh in his studio.

Photo/Diane Y. Welch General Dynamics. He attended Oakcrest Middle School and graduated from San Dieguito Union High School in 1984.

Encinitas was an uncrowded idyllic coastal enclave back then. “We used to take canoes and paddle through the estuaries of San Elijo Lagoon, which you can't do anymore,” he recalled Now Balogh paints those estuaries. “I still love them. It's another world. I go down there and sketch small studies and then create bigger paintings in the studio. I try to get a feeling of the quiet memory of the place rather than a physical study.”

Cathy Taylor was introduced to Balogh's work by her husband who had commissioned several of his canvasses for a Los Angeles hotel project. They were both struck with Balogh's “free spirit” that allows him his unique expression.

“I purchased many pieces from Greg, both from his collection of landscapes to large commissioned pieces of wild animals, ranging from apes to stampeding horses. He's able to capture these animals' rich personalities within their environments,” said Taylor.

“Greg is also able to work much like a interior designer, creating one-of-a-kind unique images for his

clients based on input for theme, colors, and size,” Taylor explained. “Every painting has been beyond our expectation” A major engagement for Balogh was his series of koi paintings. “They are a great subject to paint as the fish are so colorful and move gracefully through water which is a challenge to capture,” he said. The koi paintings are very popular with collectors and koi enthusiasts and will be featured at the Koi Show this March at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Some of Balogh's figure work has taken on an inventive approach. Partial nudes painted in oils are covered with sheer fabric which softens and diffuses the image. Balogh paints plein air—out in the open— and creates hyper-realistic fruit still-lifes.

“To me painting comes so easily, and I do love to make people go, 'Wow look at that!' But the process is still like magic,” he said.

“You just mix up a color and put it in a certain place and create a work of art.”

To find out more about Balogh's work visit his website at www.gregbalogh.com He also gives private painting classes and welcomes commissions.

Currently two of his pieces are exhibited at the Solana Beach City Hall Gallery.

Creating production posters a team effort at the Playhouse

By Leigh Ann Dewy Contributor Every picture tells a story. That certainly rings true for the creative team at the La Jolla Playhouse, which produces six to seven posters every season to promote the essence of each show.

Led by artistic director Christopher Ashley, marketing director Mary Cook and graphic designer Melissa Hughes (with input from writers and directors) work together to craft images that will be identified with each production up to a year in advance of the show.

In addition to the posters, which are placed in venues throughout the city, the artwork will appear in seasonal brochures, advertisements, and the entertainment sections of local publications.

“The first step is for Melissa and I to read the play so we are familiar with the story we want to tell,” said Cook. The pair then meets with Ashley. “(He) tells us his vision for the play, as well as the elements of set and costume design.” Ashley, she said, “is the master of creating new worlds on stage. It’s his unique vision for each show that is the starting point for the posters.”

Hughes, who owns Halogen Design Lab in San Diego, has designed Playhouse posters for eight years. She said she focuses her efforts on creating images that accurately and vividly reflect the mood of each play.

“Since the posters are created long before the shows are cast,” Hughes said, “we can’t use the actual actors on them.”

The Playhouse doesn’t have the budget to hire models, she said, so she uses stock photographs obtained and paid for online. The end result is known as a “photo-realistic” style.

A good example, Hughes said, is the poster for the Playhouse’s most recent production, “Ruined,” which ran Nov. 16-Dec. 19. The Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is set

La Jolla Playhouse graphic designer Melissa Hughes said the ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ poster was created from six or seven stock images. during a civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and features the female owner of a canteen and soldiers who pay to share the company of beautiful young women for the evening.

“For that poster,” Hughes said, “I researched what Congo women would wear.” She found two separate stock photos of two women – one older and one younger – and electronically adjusted their clothing to fit the characters.

In this year’s fall production of “Limelight: The

Story of Charlie Chaplin,” she researched costume and hairstyle elements, and camera equipment true to the time. A poster for next season’s “Little Miss Sunshine,” to run Feb. 15-March 27, features four people pushing a Volkswagen bus. Hughes said she used six to seven separate stock images, and then combined them to create the final poster.

Each poster begins with three or four concepts, said Cook. “It’s my job to fine tune the show until we get it to the point we all agree on the final image,” she said. Ashley has final approval of the poster. “We all do work very well together,” said Cook. “I think it’s mostly due to the fact that there is a lot of mutual respect … and a shared desire to ensure the show art is a true reflection of the theater experience.”

The posters are signed by cast members for the Playhouse as a memento of each show, said Cook, and are available for fundraising efforts in the gift shop whenever possible.

Local man takes artistry and recycling to new level

By Diane Y. Welch Contributor Chuck Bahde could be called the ultimate recycler. On his 5-acre Rancho Santa Fe estate, placed among his self-created drought tolerant landscape, stand his sculptures, crafted from discarded objects and materials. Rather than water, streams, pools and waterfalls are created with blue and green glass, hand-painted rocks and plastic.

Now Bahde has taken his artistry and recycling to a new level with the innovative design of a selfcontained, sustainable dwelling he calls “Solar +.” The conceptual design serves to be a model for what Bahde calls hybrid living.

The home is made of recycled materials and creates its own energy, saving money and resources, he said.

It has three tiers of gardens that may grow produce, designed with solarpowered pods that house the equipment to control temperature and irrigation. Rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in tanks.

Graywater is recycled and reused.

“What started as just another unique sculpture, developed, with vision and imagination, into this concept,” said Bahde, 84, who was an industrial architect by trade and a graduate of the Institute of Design In Chicago in 1948, when the German philosophy of Bauhaus design was introduced into the U. S.

Chuck Bahde with his Solar + model. Photo/Diane Y. Welch “They were the leaders in ‘form followed function,’ and that has influenced all my design,” he said.

Bahde's scale model of Solar + exemplifies this design philosophy and serves as the prototype for what he hopes will be the home of the future. Its design is sculptural, horizontal and modular. Large, lightweight prefabricated solar panels, made from recycled plastics, fit together to create the exterior walls.

“No lumber is used in this design,” said Bahde. Instead lightweight metals, carbon fiber, plastics and composite form a rigid strong frame. Trees are saved and costs are lowered.

The two trapezoid shaped stories

are cantilevered and movable to take advantage of solar and wind energy.

Interior spaces are made from panels to create a flexible floor plan that may be altered as needed and provide interior circulation. Large windows are made from recycled glass with built-in blinds.

Security takes a cue from medieval design. Rather than a front door, the home has a drop-down draw bridge, allowing entry onto the homes grounds by crossing a protective moat. However, other aspects of the design are futuristic.

The ship-like bows and the central opening between the two levels cuts wind velocity and serve to equalize earthquake movement. Between

the two stories, three cylinders act as supports, and house stairwells or contain airpowered elevators. There is room on the roof for a heliport and a retractable power windmill.

No detail has been overlooked.

The garage includes an electrical charge station for electric vehicles.

The interior sharp corners store energy and have built-in fans that maintain thermally-controlled filtered air throughout the building, as well as a state-of-the art sound system. If there is a lack of sunshine there is back-up of lithium ion batteries.

Bahde's ideas have developed over many years and have roots in a broad career. He designed pre-fab homes, was an assistant advertising manager, worked for Fox Theater doing displays, designed aircraft, and was in public relations in Europe, where he met his wife, Pilar, who is Swiss and Spanish. They married in 1951. Next June will mark their 60th anniversary. The two came to San Diego in 1959, lived in Ocean Beach and Point Loma, then moved to the Ranch in 1975.

In closing Bahde said, “The Solar + model, for certain would not be accepted by the Rancho Santa Fe Art Jury, but I want to stimulate other architects or other environmentalists to think further about these concepts and to develop them. I don't think anyone else has done it. My dream would be to see this come about.”

Emergency room physician optimizes health of patients with Chinese acupuncture

By Diane Y. Welch Contributor East meets west in the medical practices of George Rodriguez M.D., a Solana Beachbased acupuncturist and emergency department physician at Scripps Memorial Hospital, Encinitas.

While the two may seem at opposing ends of the medical spectrum, Rodriguez has successfully blended his expertise in western healing with that of Chinese acupuncture with one goal: to optimize the health of his patients.

“Western medicine, which is what I was originally trained in, has a reductionist theory. You try to get to the least common denominator, the one thing that causes the problem, while Chinese medicine takes a whole body view — a holistic approach.”

Rodriguez, who grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from Claremont McKenna College, received his degree in medicine from UCSD in 1980, with post graduate education completed at USC/Los Angeles Medical Center. He is board certified in emergency medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.

He has treated more than 100,000 patients in the emergency department.

Over this period Rodriguez developed an interest in Chinese medicine after hearing, repeatedly, the frustration of patients whose illnesses defied diagnosis using traditional western methods.

“The last thing that they had been told was that their illness was all in their head and they needed to see a psychiatrist. I thought, 'This can't be fact.'” To help unravel the mystery Rodriguez studied Chinese acupuncture—the placement of tiny needles into specific energy points in the body—a practice that has a 5,000-year-old track record.

He graduated from the Institute of Classical Five Element Acupuncture in Santa Monica, then in 2007 became certified by the American Board of Holistic Medicine and is a member of the American Board of Medical Acupuncturists.

The therapy is based upon Qui — pronounced “chi” an energy in the body, carried along pathways known as meridians — that maintains health and balance. The classical five element approach differs from other acupuncture as it seeks to attack a disease at a core level and to stimulate self healing.

Two years ago, Sherrie Berry-Kromis came to Rodriguez when her health was the worse it had ever been and traditional medicine had failed to help. “I felt hopeless,” she said. A friend recommended acupuncture to her but she was fearful of the needles. “But she dragged me to Dr. Rodriguez's anyway and while he was working on me, he talked to me, he encouraged me to express myself, and offered me wisdom at the same time that he gave his treatment. It was very powerful and I immediately felt a shift, I knew it was working.”

Today Berry- Kromis continues to see

George Rodriguez MD Photo/Diane Y. Welch Rodriguez as a preventative measure and maintains good health. In fact, acupuncture was originally used in China as preventative therapy, said Rodriguez.

“A patient saw the acupuncturist five times a year and paid him if they were healthy. If they became sick they stopped paying him because he wasn't doing his job.

It's a different paradigm than the western approach, where you get paid to do endless tests to treat an illness.”

When Rodriguez practices emergency medicine a knowledge of acupuncture allows him to take a holistic approach to the patient. “While we may call it customer service, it's meeting the needs of the patient, understanding that they are more than a disease process, there's a person behind that who is affected mentally and spiritually, as well as physically,” he explained.

Because of his years of practice in western medicine Rodriguez is well versed with a lot of different illnesses. “I understand them and what western medicine may do. If need be I can write a prescription. But I also understand where the gaps are in treatment and how adjunctive Eastern therapies can fill the gaps,” he said.

Rodriguez sees a future with eastern and western medicine practiced in a hospital setting. “My idea is to integrate the two with patients seen by both holistic practitioners and physicians working together to optimize the care,”he said.

He is currently in the process of getting acupuncture privileges at Scripps Memorial Hospital, Encinitas where he served up until recently as chairman of emergency medicine, a six-year engagement. “Surgeons are talking to me about doing it pre-operatively and post-operatively for patients.

Obstetricians are very interested. They realize that this is a tool that can be used.”

To find out more about Rodriguez's acupuncture services, call him at (858) 336 2961 or email him at namaste13@gmail.com.

His office is located at 243 N. Highway 101, Ste. 17, Solana Beach; or visit www.doctor acupuncture.com.

The Bishop’s School asks community to ‘Say You Will’ • 2011 auction to be school’s party with a purpose in support of two programs The Bishop’s School 2011 Auction Committee has released the theme of its annual auction scheduled for April 16, 2011. The evening will be an opportunity to offer support and “Say You Will,” according to auction co-chair Patricia Brutten.

Held on the school’s campus, the annual auction supports the school’s Financial Aid and Faculty Professional Growth Programs. The 2011 event will feature world-class entertainment and serve as a testament to the committee’s goal of making The Bishop’s School auction a “party with a purpose.” “‘Say You Will’ is an invitation to join the mission of the school’s annual auction, which is to preserve the fullness of a Bishop’s education,” explains Maureen Gibbons, 2011 auction committee co-chair.

The Bishop's School 2011 Auction Committee co-chairs (l-r): Patricia Brutten, Maureen Gibbons and Donna Walker.

“The financial aid program is the soul of the school’s ability to offer enrichment, diversity and growth for all students, and the faculty professional growth program is an opportunity for teachers to study and travel, returning

to the classroom revitalized.”

Each year, the school’s auction raises approximately $1 million in direct support of the financial aid and faculty professional growth programs. Twenty-one percent of the current student body

is receiving close to $3 million through the need-based financial aid program. In the last school year, 53 faculty members benefitted from the school’s Faculty Professional Growth program by participating in 63 enrichment experiences, from a coach attending a strength and conditioning conference in order to bring cutting edge techniques to athletes to an Advanced Placement science teacher attending the Summer Sustainable Systems Institute in order to build a environmental/sustainability studies program for students.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Unique Mainly Mozart concert series set to begin in February

By Karen Billing A world-class classical music experience returns to Rancho Santa Fe this year with the Mainly Mozart concert series. The series of five concerts begins on Sunday, Feb. 13, and runs through May 1 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. “I think we have more new artist faces on this series than any series prior,” said Nancy Laturno Bojanic, executive director. “We also frequently bring groups back, like the Manderling Quartet from Germany, everybody loves them.”

Laturno Bojanic is especially excited about the “wildly and widely recommended” violinist Stefan Jackiw, who will open the series on Feb. 13 with pianist Max Levinson.

“We’ve got a really interesting program, a lot of piano this year,” said Laturno Bojanic.

A March 13 concert features Robert Levin, a pianist and composer very closely affiliated with the Mozart camp in Salzburg, Austria. When a new fragment or piece of Mozart music is found,

Levin is called upon to complete it, she said, noting that she has been trying to book him for Mainly Mozart for at least 15 years.

Laturno Bojanic founded Mainly Mozart in 1988 with Maestro David Atherton, who serves as artistic director. The pair worked together in the early ’80s with the San Diego Symphony, where Laturno Bojanic worked in marketing. Atherton now lives in

London but also has a home in Poway.

“His idea was to bring together in San Diego an all-star orchestra at the time of year that’s fairly quiet in San Diego and to create an orchestra experience that you couldn’t find any place else in the country,” said Laturno Bojanic.

Since then they’ve been able to bring major players to San Diego, such as the Cleveland Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

When they started Mainly Mozart it was a two-week summer festival. In 1996, they branched out to start the spotlight concerts, like those now performed at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, only in La Jolla venues. With The Inn, Laturno Bojanic said they have found the ideal spot. “(Manager) Kerman Beriker is a dream,” Laturno Bojanic said.

“There are not enough words for Kerman Beriker, he’s a national treasure I think.”

She said Beriker is endlessly generous, housing musicians and

Gambling: Friend or foe?

By Jennifer Bae On Nov. 4, 2010, I was lucky enough to attend and speak at the annual Regional Summit for Problem Gambling Prevention in Santa Ana. This convention focused on the technical assistance and training project that aims to educate the public and train a broad range of service providers, government agency

personnel, and community leaders to help prevent problem gambling throughout the state and to provide information on treatment resources for those in need. This amazing conference was hosted by National Asian Pacific American Families Against Substance Abuse (NAPAFASA) and they worked very hard to make this even happen. When

you first walked in, you could smell the fresh brew of coffee, and there were two rooms that each had presentations with information regarding gambling. In the morning, there were panels where personal stories were presented, and after a free lunch, professional speakers elaborated on their speeches on their specific topics: Older Adults & Problem Gambling (PG), Gaming Venue & Employees, Latinos & PG, Gamblers Anonymous & PG Treatment, Asian Pacific Islanders & PG, and PG and Co-Occurring Disorders.

I was fortunate enough to hear Suzanne Koch Eckenrode speak about Gaming Venue & Employees, and then have the opportunity to interview her.

She has a private practice specializing in treating clients with gambling, and other mental health issues, as well as their family members in San Diego and Orange counties.

She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a National and California Certified Gambling Counselor II.

Interviewer (JB): Why did you choose to help prevent gambling?

Suzanne Koch Eckenrode: I chose to help prevent gambling 10 years ago. When I started to talk to the clients with gambling problems, I became very enthused. They were intelligent and challenging people.

I was really distressed to see them wasting their lives away. I sympathized especially with the women gamblers.

JB: What motivated/ inspired you for this job?

SKE: As I was growing up, I was a caretaker and tuned into people’s needs.

When someone was wounded in some way, I tried to help them – but you can only help those that want it. In my first career, advertising, the part that resonated for me was building trust in the relationships with my clients and knowing what they would want. I transferred that desire to help — to those in real need and my insight and trust, into the foundation of

any good therapeutic relationship.

JB: What is your worst story of an addicted gambler?

SKE: Oh gosh... there are just so many of them. But I have to say about a story of an 80-year-old mother and a 50year-old daughter. They were incredible enablers of their husband/father, a true problem gambler in denial. The daughter completely gave away her life savings and retirement and the mother, gave her millions in inheritance to feed his addiction.

Last time I talked to them, they had lost their home, so they're living in a hotel and they keep their pets in their car, because they could no longer afford to pay the vet to kennel them. It’s so sad, but I have hope.

JB: Why do you think gamblers start to gamble?

SKE: It depends on the person. There are the action type gamblers, who need the adrenaline rush and like the higher skill required games,

like Blackjack. For some other people, gambling was just around, thought it was something they were good at, and ended up playing it for fun.

Then eventually, they got addicted to gambling. Other factors that lead to gambling are grief, loss, retirement, or just feeling empty.

JB: What do you think is an effective way to stop/ prevent gambling?

SKE: Getting the word out. A lot of people don’t understand gambling as an addiction and helping professionals don’t often assess for gambling. If we don’t ask, we don’t often find out until it is late, or even too late. We need to let people know that gambling is a problem and there is help available to them them.

Currently, an estimated 922,000 adult and 596,700 youth problem or pathological gamblers live in California. If you or someone you know needs help, call 1800- GAMBLER (4262537) for support/ resources.

The time for bare-root planting is now December and January are the best months for planting bare-root trees, shrubs, and perennials.

“Bare-roots” are grown in cold climes and dug up while the plants are dormant.

The trees are pruned and the roots are washed clean. Then the root mass is packed in wood shavings and wrapped in plastic for shipping. When they arrive in our clime the temperatures are perfect for planting.

Why do we plant bareroots that are available now in garden centers and nurseries?

First, they are less expensive than plants and trees grown in cans, and there is a great variety of fruit trees, berries, grapes, roses, and vegetables such as artichokes.

And, the trees are very easy to transport because there is no weight from the earth needed to grow them in large plastic containers.

A l s o , when bare roots are planted in the winter and early By Frank spring, the La Rosa root mass has time to grow and adapt to surrounding soil and moisture conditions. There is a gentle, moderate growth (below the soil level) resulting in leafing out and blooms in early spring.

It is invigorating to choose new fruit trees and roses, expecting that the fruits and blossoms will

appear as beautiful as the pictures on the labels.

Always check the chilling requirements of stone fruits such as peaches, plums, and apples. Chilling requirements are the number of hours below 40-45F necessary for the tree to grow healthily and produce good fruit. These chill factors are printed on the wrappers and you can ask the knowledgeable people who work in nurseries such as Walter Anderson’s. The Western Garden Book also lists the chill factors.

Dig the planting holes big enough to prevent cramping of the spread out roots, fill the hole with the removed soil, and mix in some compost. Water the planted tree well, and as an added encouragement, water again with vitamin B12.

Peaches do well in the coastal clime if they are “Babcock”, “Early Alberta”, or “Mid-Pride”, the latter being an all time favorite. You might want to try a dwarf such as “Bonita”. I have this

variety growing in a half barrel and it sets early, lovely peaches.

As for plums, “Santa Rosa” is a strong grower near the coast. A while ago, I planted “Methley” which has done well. The fruit is smaller than “Santa Rosa” but very piquant.

Good low-chill apples for zones 18-24 are “Beverly Hills” an early dessert apple, “Dorsett Golden,” and “Anna,” One tree of each will give you plenty of apples throughout the season.

Don’t forget the berries: “Boysen” and “thornless Boysen” do very well near and on the coast. They need an open area of full sun.

American gardeners like to dream in winter of the abundant fruits they hope to reap in the summer. E. B. White said that dreaming in winter over glossy photos of luscious fruits got him through many a dreary winter. Of course, we don’t have Maine winters, but dreaming is still fun!

The biggest accomplishment this year in our community was the overwhelming voter approval of Proposition C. Since November 2009, my office has worked closely with the community to correct the uninSherri tended conseLightner quences of Proposition M from 1998. In years past, there were attempts to bring this amendment to a vote of the people and now, thanks to the tireless work of the community, Pacific Highlands Ranch will be able to become the smart-growth, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood it was designed to be.

SECTION B 10 QUESTIONS

Davodi-Far organizes around cancer care Maryam Davodi-Far believes life is about discovering what you are good at, and then sharing it with the world. So after discovering her calling in healthcare administration and nonprofit work, Davodi-Far found a way to share it with the world. Five years ago, this Carmel Valley resident founded Cancer Coping Center, a non-profit run by professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to help cancer patients, and their Maryam families and caregivers.

Davodi-Far The impetus behind Cancer Coping Center came about after Davodi-Far watched her mother-in-law battle the disease, and witnessed the emotional toll it can take. For that reason, the nonprofit aims to help people cope with the effects of cancer through creative expressions, like painting.

Davodi-Far has a doctorate in public administration from the University of La Verne, a master’s degree in healthcare administration and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of California in San Diego. She holds a certificate in non-profit management from Chapman University, and she is trained as a volunteer mediator through the San Diego Mediation Center.

When she’s is not running her nonprofit, Davodi-Far can likely be found combing through antique malls or in her kitchen, as she is also a trained chef through the San Diego Culinary Institute.

What brought you to Carmel Valley?

I love the location. It is central and close to the coast. It is a new area with lots of promise for growth. It is near centers of excellence, such as UCSD, National University, and a number of wellknown research institutions.

What makes Carmel Valley special to you?

I like being nearby the beach and close to my place of work.

If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in Carmel Valley?

I would create more opportunities for neighbors to get to know one another.

Who or what inspires you?

I am moved by female leaders, such as Susan B. Anthony, Hillary Clinton, and Sandra Day O’Connor.

The healing power of art Couple’s gifts housed in Sculpture Park at Scripps

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Contributor When you’re heading for Scripps Memorial Hospital, chances are you’re not thinking about art. Driving onto the medical campus, you’ve probably missed the sign on your right that announces “Wolfstein Sculpture Park,” though you may have registered the large circle of steel just beyond.

It’s only one of 31 sculptures in a variety of styles that make

up the collection started in 1998 by Ralyn and Nathan Wolfstein, a couple of generous art-lovers with homes in Encino and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. For the past 50 years, the Wolfsteins have been brightening the surroundings of hospitals and universities by buying, and then donating to them, pieces of public art. He manufactured pharmaceuticals and she started making artworks at age seven. They both believe in the healing power of art.

“We bought our first piece when we had hardly any money,” Ralyn said. “We gave it to the American Jewish University in L.A. Then UC Irvine built a cancer center and I ended up organizing the art program there.”

The idea for a Sculpture Park at Scripps-La Jolla had its beginnings in 1993 when the Wolfsteins bought a painting from

Gerrit Greve, an artist who lives next door to their Cardiff residence.

“The hospital’s art committee asked for one of his paintings, and Nate and I agreed to donate ours,” said Ralyn. “It was our 45th anniversary, and when we drove onto the campus to present the painting and I saw those rolling grounds, I said, ‘I can see sculpture everywhere!’ ” Five years later, in time for their 50th anniversary, the Wolfsteins created the Park with several pieces by Leucadia sculptor Jeffery Laudenslager, including that giant steel circle.

“For special events in your life, instead of just giving a big party, it’s wonderful to give something permanent, something positive and encouraging that people can see and appreciate for years to come,” Ralyn said.

In 2003, they discovered the Port of San Diego’s Urban Trees exhibitions,

Anthony Hopkins stars as a 68-year-old New Zealander with a dream in ‘The World’s Fastest Indian.’

◆ Prime Time ◆ San Diego film festival celebrates aging with six international movies about growing older

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Contributor It’s a new year and we’re all a year older. Appropriately, film-lovers of all ages are invited to start 2011 at the premiere of Coming of Age, San Diego’s first annual festival of movies on aging.

Hosted by the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) and San Diego State University’s Gerontology Student Association and sponsored by Alvarado Hospital, the festival will be showing six films from four different countries, focusing on the diversity of the experience of growing older.

On the second Thursday of each month from January through June, a different film will be introduced, screened, and followed by an audience discussion. The idea is to make gerontology — the study of psychological, social, and ethical issues of aging and their effects on the individual and society — more accessible to the community at large.

The film fest is the brainchild of SDSU gerontology professor (and chairman of the department) Mario Garrett, Ph.D. “We want to increase awareness of these issues to open a discussion,” Garrett said. “I thought cinema would be a good way to do this, and MOPA has a lovely small theater that would elevate the viewing experience.”

Last spring, Garrett assembled a group of academics and artists who work with aging populations to

IF YOU GO What: Coming of Age: San Diego’s film festival on growing older When: 6 p.m. Thursdays, January-June Where: Museum of Photographic Arts, Balboa Park Admission: Free, but RSVP to mgarrett@mail.sdsu.edu Web: sdcomingofage.com suggest some of their favorite films. He selected six categories of special relevance: continuing growth; dementia and care giving; new adventures; sex, love and intimacy; independence; and intergenerational relationships. Each committee member chose a category and a film to introduce.

Garrett will kick off the festival this month by introducing “The World’s Fastest Indian,” a film about a 68year-old man and his motorbike, starring 73-year-old Oscar-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Why this film?

“I love it,” Garrett said.

“I’d love to do what he did. I have an Alfa Romeo engine sitting in pieces in my garage.

I took it apart years ago, then I had kids, and work, and it’s still sitting there, in a thousand bags.

“The guy in this movie — a true story — he had a dream of racing a bike he built himself. He traveled to the other side of the world,

On the marquee: Jan. 13: ‘The World’s Fastest Indian’ (2005) Feb. 10: ‘A Song for Martin’ (2001)

Garrett, born in Malta, has followed his own dreams, traveling and working in China, Africa and Europe before making his way to the U.S. and university positions in New Mexico and Texas. He then spent a decade working

Jr. Theatre stages ‘The Miracle Worker’ in Balboa Park

San Diego Junior Theatre’s production of “The Miracle Worker,” Jan. 7-23 at Balboa Park’s Casa Del Prado Theatre, will bring the audience into Helen Keller’s world, sharing the dramatic story of Annie Sullivan and her struggle to teach the deaf, blind, and mute 12-yearold Helen how to be a part of the world she could not see or hear.

Written by William Gibson, the drama unfolds to show Helen much like a wild animal. Scared out of her wits, but still frighteningly strong, she claws and struggles against all who try to help her.

Half blind herself, but blessed with fanatical dedication, Annie Sullivan begins a titanic struggle to

PRIME continued from page 5 with American Indian tribes before coming to SDSU. Over 50 now, he said he got into the field of gerontology at a young age, always believing he would live to be very old.

“If there’s a mantra for Coming of Aging,” Garrett said, “this is it: Being old doesn’t define a person.

These films show love, exploration, racing — older people doing things their own way.”

Next up on Feb. 10 is the Swedish film, “A Song for Martin” (2001). The story follows famous composer Martin as he meets concertmaster Barbara at one of his performances and the two fall in love. After divorcing their spouses, Martin and Barbara marry and begin a

Five years later, as the couple is working on a new opera, Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. As Martin’s condition worsens and his personality changes, the couple strain to hold on to the love that once brought them together.

Young and old are invited to come to Coming of Aging, and join in the postfilm discussions. The screenings are free, but reservations are required.

“This is just the beginning,” Garrett said. “We hope to get bigger and better each year.”

release the young girl from the terrifying prison of eternal darkness and silence.

The production is directed by Desha Crownover and Shalico Leaverton. The cast features 16 area students, including seasoned Junior

The production is recommended for ages 10 and up. San Diego Junior Theatre’s is continuing its 63rd season with nine productions at its sites in Balboa Park and La Jolla.

Bumper To Bumper Q. Christina: I’m glad to see your column in The Light.

I’m surprised there isn’t a similar column in the Auto Club’s “Westways” magazine. The reason I am writing: I have a 2003 Honda Dave Stall CRV with around 93,000 miles. I suspect I’ll be keeping it for another two or three years, possibly longer. I don’t want to take money out of investments to replace it and cannot afford a loan at this time. Is this particular year/make/model worth the ‘nickel and diming’ that comes with older cars?

Also, can you recommend a non-dealer quality mechanic for this car in the UTC/Clairemont/Mission Valley areas?

A. Dave: You have a good vehicle and with proper maintenance you should get 300,000 miles out of it. The key to longevity is to follow the “severe section” in your owner’s manual. Try and insist on Honda parts when you can and you should get an easy three more years out of her, maybe more. A good shop in your area is Convoy Auto.

Stop by and tell them I sent you.

Q. Sally: Would you buy a used hybrid vehicle. If so, which one? I like the Toyota Prius but the Honda would be OK as well.

A. Dave: If you must have a Hybrid then you must first look at where you are going to drive. If you do more freeway driving, then either the Honda Civic or Toyota Prius would be fine. If you do more city driving then the Toyota would give you better

mileage. Before you buy a Hybrid I would look at a lot of other cars that get great mileage like the Mini Cooper, Volkswagen Jetta and Toyota Yaris just to name a few. If the battery on your Hybrid dies, you are talking more money than the vehicle is worth and extended warranties do not cover the battery pack — be aware!

Q. Ken: I just purchased a new car and my question is, do you recommend using any of those products that keep the dash shiny? I have never bought a new car and I want to keep this car for as long as I’m driving so I want to take really good care of it. Do you have any other suggestions to keep my new car new all the time? I love your column and because of your review I bought the Camry and love it! Thanks!

A. Dave: You bought a great car and to keep it in tiptop shape, you need to follow the maintenance guide in your owner’s manual. There should be a section on exterior care in the book as well. I don’t like putting chemicals on dashes or door panels because they may have a tendency to dry out when you lose the enthusiasm of having a new car.

What I would do is buy a good car cover.

The next recommendation is to stay out of automated car wash systems. Either do it yourself or have it detailed by hand. Lube the doors, trunk and hood hinges once a year with good lithium grease. Keep tire dressings on your tires — it will help to keep them from cracking. Try and park out away from other vehicles and only wax the car when it needs it (your detailer will help you there). Use nothing but factory parts on your car and the road should be long and rewarding. Oh — one more thing — stay away from cheap gasoline!

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

I would invite chef Yves Fournier, Frank Sinatra, President Obama, my husband, Nicole Kidman, Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz, and Hugh Jackman.

an annual display of works along downtown’s Embarcadero.

Twelve of these “trees” are now at home in the Sculpture Park.

One of the newest additions, and one of the most whimsical, is a bicycle built for two, commissioned by the Wolfsteins two years ago and installed this past summer.

“There’s Nate in the front, driving, and I’m in the back going Yeahhhhh!” Ralyn said.

“The name of the piece is ‘Weeeeee!’ with one ‘e’ for each of our five grandkids. ‘We’ has always been a key word in our lives. My husband feels the trouble with a lot of marriages today is that people have lost touch with that word.”

Their ‘we’ must be working.

The piece is a celebration of their 62nd anniversary.

The Sculpture Park is part of the hospital’s Arts for Healing program, the aesthetic component of Scripps’ “World of Healing.”

“We really try to create a healing environment, not only with medical care, but also through the aesthetic features of our campus,” said Lisa Ohmstead, the hospital’s public relations manager.

Added Joyce Hyde, who has been a volunteer art docent since 2004, “This could actually be an

Tell us about what you are currently reading.

I am reading “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.”

What is your most prized possession?

My most prized possession is my vintage butterfly pin collection.

I am hoping to show my collection this year at the San Diego County Fair.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy antiquing, cooking, traveling, and hosting parties.

Please describe your greatest accomplishment.

Earning a doctoral degree.

What is your motto or philosophy of life?

My philosophy of life is based on a quote by David Viscott: “The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.”

IF YOU GO What: Free guided tour of Wolfstein Sculpture Park Where: Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, 9888 Genesee Ave. When: 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 19 RSVP: (858) 626-6994 art destination, like Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Israel, with its Chagallstained glass windows.”

On Jan. 19, Hyde will lead a special tour of the Sculpture Park to provide an opportunity for visitors to get “up close and personal” with the artworks, some of which may be harder to see as the hospital embarks on an extensive building program this summer.

Hyde is full of interesting stories about the park’s art and artists.

She’ll tell you the secret behind the life-sized “Little Girl with Fishes” who dances in a fountain outside the hospital’s main entrance. She’ll lead you to fascinating pieces you never even noticed and show you how to put a spin on the kinetic sculptures, too.

You don’t have to be ill to come to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. This month, come for the art.

LECTURES continued from page 11 In a roundtable discussion anchored by Dr. Reveles, leaders from the Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities will discuss how each of their faiths understands evil within the context of contemporary society, using the classic story of Faust as a starting Dr. Nicolas point.

Reveles The panel will explore Faust’s contract with Méphistophélès to give insight into how individuals and communities, even nations, make “deals with the devil” in order to cope with daily life.

“A Collision of Old and New: Rococo, Art Nouveau and the World of Der Rosenkavalier,” 7 p.m. March 1, San Diego Museum of Art, Balboa Park.

Dr. John Marciari, Ph.D., curator of European art at the museum and Dr. Reveles will discuss the two worlds represented in Richard Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier,” — 18th century Vienna (the era of the opera’s setting) and early 20th century Vienna (the era and culture of the opera’s creation). From the opera’s lavish sets and costumes to the world of Freud, Klimt and Mucha, the explosion of diverse styles that the opera represents will be followed

through generous examples of the art and music of the times.

“Der Rosenkavalier: The Role of Sacrifice in Relationships,” 7 p.m. March 8 at Torrey Pines Christian Church, 8320 La Jolla Scenic Drive North, La Jolla.

The touching moment at the end of Der Rosenkavalier when the Marschallin gives up her relationship with the young Octavian becomes a jumping off point for a discussion between Rev. Dr. Michael Spitters, lead pastor of Torrey Pines Christian Church and Dr. Reveles.

Does sacrifice in relationships mean a complete negation of self? Is there a place for selflessness in a world that surrounds us with examples of looking after one’s own needs to the expense of others?

“Carmen on the Couch: A Study in Dysfunctional Relationships,” 7 p.m. April 25, Carlsbad Public Library, Schulman Auditorium, 1775 Dove Lane.

Psychotherapist Gita Morena, coordinator of the Sandplay Therapy Studies Program at UCSD Extension and a doctor of Transpersonal Psychology, joins Dr. Reveles to look at the dysfunctional relationship of the two main characters in Bizet’s Carmen — Don José and the gypsy seductress. What happens when a classic obsessive personality meets a free spirit? Through the application of myth and Jungian analysis guests will get a closer look at what goes wrong in a popular opera that ends badly for everybody.
