DMUSD students academically, physically fit BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Del Mar Union School District has the highest elementary school district APIs in the county, with a districtwide score of 956 (out of 1,000). “We’re doing a lot of good things with a lot of really advanced kids,” said Holly McClurg, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instructional services, at the school district’s Sept. 28 board meeting. Within the subgroups (100 or more students with valid scores), all of the scores remained steady or saw improvements over a three-year period from 2008-11. All of the groups are way ahead of the state API. Asian students improved by 10 points to receive an API of 995 this year and English learners have jumped 40 points from 880 to an API of 920. Hispanic students remained steady with a score of 873 and white students scored 948. The only groups that saw a drop were students with disabilities who dropped two points to 835 and socioeconomically-disadvantaged students who dropped nine points to 815, but still remain above the state API of 662 and 716 respectively. DMUSD is also tops at two areas that are not included in the API scores: writing and physical fitness. In the fifth grade PE test, 94 percent met at least four of the six standards for PE, including aerobic capacity, body composition, abdominal strength, trunk extension and upper body strength. In the fourth grade writing test, 89 percent scored a six or an eight, the highest possible scores.

Lawsuit on school district Public Records request moving forward BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER Del Mar parent Michael Robertson, who sued the Del Mar Union School District on Aug. 8 to compel the release of specific email documents, said he and his attorney received a letter last week from DMUSD attorney Dan Shinoff, of Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, saying Robertson can soon expect a legal response from the district. “We were served with the lawsuit, and now we’re filing a re-
sponse to the lawsuit,” Shinoff said. “We’re going to ask for a hearing on it on an expedited basis.” “I’m fascinated to hear what they’re going to say on why they shouldn’t have to give us this,” Robertson said. “I don’t know what reasonable explanation these guys could have.” Robertson submitted a California Public Records Act request May 10, asking the district for all communications related to the California Teachers Association’s Week of
Action held May 9 to 13. The state’s largest teachers’ union promoted the Week of Action as a way to raise awareness and encourage parents and the public to support increased funding for education. Robertson filed his CPRA request to review correspondence among district employees, school board members and CTA organizers because he suspected that the district was working with the CTA to coordinate political action, which he said is inappropriate.
Also named in the suit is DMUSD school board president Comischell Rodriguez, for access to her personal emails related to the CPRA request. Because she “possesses, maintains and controls records responsive to Petitioner’s requests that are not maintained in files” at the district’s offices, “Rodriguez is an indispensible part to this litigation,” reads the suit. Robertson said the chances of See LAWSUIT, Page 6

CV groups provide funding for new police CrossFit gym BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Two Carmel Valley groups have stepped forward to fund the San Diego Police Department Northwestern Division’s new CrossFit gym, just days after new Captain Lori Luhnow made a request for donations. Del Mar Highlands Town Center donated $3,500 and, at its Oct. 4 meeting, the Carmel Valley Recreation Council voted to pledge $9,587 to purchase CrossFit equipment, with an additional $10,000 going toward officers receiving instructor training. Recreation council member Ginny Barnes said the hope is that a CrossFit
for kids program will be started at the recreation center, allowing kids to exercise alongside cops. “I love this community,” an enthusiastic Captain Luhnow said after leaving the meeting. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that uses complex, wholebody movements performed at a high intensity. Luhnow found the workout three years ago and wanted to bring it to the police department, as there are no fitness standards for officers after the police academy and See GYM, Page 6
Resolution sought in Del Mar Shores property dispute BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR A 5.3-acre parcel with sweeping ocean views purchased by the city of Del Mar in 2007 for $8.5 million was intended to provide residents and visitors
with a tranquil, scenic spot for exercise and relaxation. But a dispute between the Del Mar Little League and a group of local dog lovers over the Shores property has been anything but peaceful — after clashes be-
tween the two groups earlier this year, the Little League stopped using the Shores ballfield for games or practices for the first time in more than 50 years. Representatives of the ballplayers and other recre-
ational users of the park, dog lovers and Friends of the Del Mar Parks have been working on a compromise to solve the dispute, and appear close to a resolution. “I do think the solu-
tion is in reach,” said Warren Spieker, of the friends of the parks group. The dispute centers around conflicts between dog lovers — who exercise See SHORES, Page 15

Del Mar school district briefs; Sept. 28 meeting New professional development for math instruction approved In an effort to improve students’ problem solving and reasoning skills in mathematics, the Del Mar Union School District board approved a professional development agreement for Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI). The district will start training teachers from two schools with the hope to add more schools in future years, possibly with district teachers being trained to conduct workshops. The professional development program will cost $20,000 for the first year, which does not include the cost for substitutes. Holly McClurg, district assistant superintendent of instructional services, said they do not know the number of teachers participating so the substitute teacher costs are still unknown. Over the past 25 years, CGI has proved successful with increased student achievement and conceptual thinking, teacher learning, and both students and teachers have reported an increased enjoyment in math. “I’m really excited to see the concentration on math,” said school district board trustee Doug Perkins. “Industry tells us all the time that’s where America has fallen short.” He asked whether the cost of the professional development could quadruple when more schools are added, up to $80,000 in a coming year. District superintendent Jim Peabody said they could move forward as the budget permits, with less days with more teachers or more teachers training colleagues. “It obviously will be budget sensitive,” he said. —Karen Billing DMUSD strives to fix enrollment issues Del Mar Union School District Superintendent Jim Peabody has come up with an “aggressive timeline” to deal with the school district’s enrollment issues and impacted schools, such as Ocean Air. Peabody wants staff and a group of key community members to start looking at projections and options as soon as this month for the 2012-13 school year. “One of my outcomes on this is to not have boundary changes,” Peabody said. “My personal goal is to come up with another way to solve this.” Peabody said he hopes a recommendation can come before the board by January so that there can be a “pleasant August” where students are not finding out the last day before school starts where they will be attending. “I think we can come up with more elegant solutions that will be favorable to all,” Peabody said. — Karen Billing Emergency notification review After the blackout on Sept. 8, many DMUSD parents took to the parent Facebook page wondering why the district didn’t notify parents directly that school was closed on Friday. In light of the online conversations, trustee Scott Wooden requested that the board discuss its emergency notification procedures at the Sept. 28 meeting. School district superintendent Jim Peabody said the county supervisor didn’t make the
parent would leave their child and take off for work,” Peabody said. Childcare staff also stayed overtime the day of the blackout until every parent could get to their children—the last child was delivered to a parent at 7:45 p.m. that night. Peabody said that in a meeting with other superintendents last week methods such as Twitter were discussed, but it probably would have notified the same amount of parents—Wooden said he doesn’t even have a Twitter account. Peabody said the district will continue to look at different technologies to use during emergency situations. — Karen Billing
decision to close schools until he received notice from SDG&E around 8 p.m.—the word was then put out as much as possible on KOGO radio station that night and was on every news station by morning. “We tried to get an all call out,” Peabody said, but noted that the district had not yet completed its call list so notice would’ve gone out to a lot of families who had sixth graders in the district last year and none of this year’s new students. The call list was since completed on Sept. 26. “We had a person at every school by 6:45 a.m. because my biggest fear was that a
Man steals sheriff’s cruiser, chase moves through Carmel Valley BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 30-year-old man is behind bars after stealing a sheriff’s cruiser Oct. 2 and leading law enforcement personnel on a 38-minute pursuit from Poway to Carmel Valley, authorities said. Sean Michael Webber stole the white cruiser from Midland and Twin Peaks roads about 9:45 a.m. Oct. 2, said San Diego County sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Vengler. The vehicle is used by the department’s senior volunteer patrol, which was in the area assisting with traffic control for Poway’s annual ``Tour de Poway’’ cycling event. Two members of the volunteer patrol were standing near the cruiser when Webber stole it, Vengler said. A sheriff’s deputy spotted the vehicle minutes later and a pursuit ensued, according to Vengler, who said Webber led deputies out of Poway toward the coast. San Diego police assisted with the pursuit until authorities decided to back off and let a sheriff’s helicopter crew follow the stolen cruiser. The California Highway Patrol
also assisted by closing intersections for the pursuit. Webber eventually drove to the end of a cul-de-sac in the Carmel Valley area, stopping briefly before barreling through a fence to get to another street, Vengler said. He then drove backward slowly toward sheriff’s, San Diego police and CHP vehicles that had converged on the area, but then bounded out of the still-moving cruiser and surrendered, Vengler said. The vehicle came to a stop on its own and the only property damage was to the fence Webber crashed through and the cruiser, Vengler said, noting no one was injured in the 23-mile, 38-minute pursuit Webber was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of felony evading, felony theft of an on-call emergency vehicle, misdemeanor drunken driving and misdemeanor driving under the influence of a controlled substance. Bail was set at $50,000.

Solana Beach school board member Special Education Legal Alliance working for education law firm BY MARSHA SUTTON
SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER
BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER
Solana Beach School District board member and attorney Art Palkowitz is providing general legal advice to school districts as Senior Counsel at Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, a San Diego County law firm specializing in education law. Formerly Assistant General Counsel at San Diego Unified School District where he worked for nine years, Palkowitz joined Stutz Artiano in March 2010. Palkowitz, whose second four-year term on the SBSD school board expires in November 2012, has been a practicing attorney for over 28 years, with background in public education and civil litigation. Since Palkowitz joined Stutz Artiano, the Solana Beach School District has continued to have the law firm represent the district on two cases. SBSD superintendent Leslie Fausset said there is no conflict of interest. “Art has nothing to do with any of the cases that the firm represents,� she said. Also, she said he recuses himself from voting on all decisions involving Stutz Artiano cases that involve expenses with the firm. “We’ve taken probably a more cautious approach, but that’s how we’ve handled it,� Fausset said. She said Palkowitz shared with her his intent to join the law firm in advance, and she said she had “no misgivings at all.� “We took all of the appropriate precau-
tions,� she said, adding that “it’s very beneficial to a district� to have attorneys on school boards who understand education issues. Palkowitz’s professional experience, according to his profile on the Stutz Artiano Web site, includes an understanding of the California Education Code, certificated and classified employee suspension and termination proceedings, strategy and compliance in collective bargaining, employment-related litigation, wrongful termination, the Brown Act, Public Records Act, California Tort Claims Act, preparation and review of district policies and administrative procedures, and charter school petitions, operations, renewals and appeals. One of the two cases Stutz Artiano has handled for the SBSD since Palkowitz was hired began in September 2010 and was concluded earlier this year. The district paid about $6,300 to the law firm for the case. The other case, concerning a preschool special education student, is continuing through the court system and is on appeal at the Ninth Circuit, Fausset said. To date, the district has paid Stutz Artiano about $11,600, and the Special Education Legal Alliance has paid the firm about $40,000 on this case. With miscellaneous fees of $823 for opinions on Public Records Act requests and student fees, the total paid to Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz by the district from 2010 to the present is about $18,745.
A legal case involving a Solana Beach School District special education preschool student, begun in August 2010, is now with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The case is being handled by Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz lawyer Dan Shinoff. The case has been paid in large part by the Special Education Legal Alliance, formed seven or eight years ago to support potentially precedent-setting cases where the outcome could impact other districts and other cases, said SBSD superintendent Leslie Fausset. “What happens in so many of these cases is that even if you are right, you have a tendency to settle because it’s often less expensive to settle than it is to go through the full court process,� Fausset said. She said there is a tendency for districts to settle even when they may not agree because “it is expeditious to do so financially for the district.� The purpose of the alliance, she said,

was for school districts to contribute to a fund to provide resources that would support districts “when they were in the midst of a case that potentially was precedent-setting.� “Laws get written, and there’s a lot of interpretation with any written law,� Fausset said. “When you settle, you don’t have the opportunity of getting full, clear definition of the intent of the law.� The Special Education Legal Alliance provides a way for districts to pursue a case through the courts to receive more comprehensive interpretation of the law. “The lack of definition is not helpful,� she said. The alliance is county-run, Fausset said, and is voluntary for districts. She said her district makes an annual contribution of about $.50 per student, for a projected cost for 2011-2012 of approximately $1,418.50. “I’ve been very supportive of it,� Fausset said of the legal alliance. The case to date has cost about $51,650 – about $11,600 from the district and about $40,000 from the legal alliance.

LAWSUIT continued from page 1 settling the case out of court are low. “The odds of them saying, ‘Okay, you win’ is zero,� Robertson said, vowing to continue litigation to its final conclusion. Robertson said he was “astonished� that the district would proceed with the litigation. “This will be a giant case, blowing through tens of thousands of dollars, when they should just turn over the damn documents,� he said. “This is money that should be going toward pure educational needs. It should not be going to Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz.�

Shinoff said those are protected by law. “The United States Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue,� he said. A public record, Shinoff said, is defined as “something that is maintained and controlled by the governmental agency,� not by private individuals. He said the Supreme Court decided this issue under the Freedom of Information Act, which is the model for the Calif. Public Records Act. “If Mr. Robertson wants to have a different position in the state of California, he gets to make new law,� Shinoff said. But Robertson said this is uncharted, potentially precedent-setting territory
In a May 27 letter to Robertson, the district said the request was “vague, overbroad and burdensome,� that it was “unrelated to the conduct of the public’s business,� and that the records are “exempt from disclosure because the public interest in not disclosing the information clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure.� Robertson was critical of the district’s objections. “The outside law firm is happy to burn up DMUSD tax dollars dreaming up creative arguments about why they shouldn’t have to abide by the California Public Records Act like every other government organization,�
he said. “Their attitude is, they don’t work for us [and] they should get to decide what information we get. We should just be content with whatever they decide.� When asked why the district did not release all the emails, Shinoff said there are no more documents to be released. “We’ve provided him every public record that he’s asked for,� Shinoff said. Robertson said he has received some emails from the district, but the documents released are incomplete and not fully responsive to his CPRA request. [see sidebar] Regarding the personal Rodriguez emails sent to and from her private accounts,
to have a healthy life.� Luhnow found an empty garage at Northwestern that she will convert into the CrossFit gym, where workouts will be held in groups of about 10 people. With the two community group’s support she will be able to get the “Cadillac� version of CrossFit with bar-
bells with bumper plates, kettle bells, Concept2 rowing machines, squat racks, pull up bars, jump ropes, medicine balls and pylometric-boxes. The gym will be open to officers from all over the county. “We are grateful to the officers who support this community both here in Carmel Valley and throughout San Diego,� said Elizabeth Schreiber, Del Mar Highlands general manager. “We wanted to show our appreciation by stepping up with a donation to provide some of their CrossFit equipment.� The equipment purchased by the recreation council will be owned by the city and is portable enough to be brought across the street for the Kids CrossFit program. Barnes said she thinks Kids CrossFit could kick off within the next three-six months and it’s possible a recreation center staff member may go through instructor training to lead the classes, with officers coming over to participate. “Youth can see (officers) in a different light and get to know us in a non-authoritative situation. It provides a better opportunity for us to come together as a community,� Luhnow said. Dan McGuire, the Carmel Valley Lacrosse representative on the recreation council, said that coaches are always telling their young athletes to work out and stay active in the off-season and he thinks Kids CrossFit could play right into that. He also said sports groups have been trying to find a way to be connected with the recreation center, and this program would provide a way. Barnes was thrilled with that idea. “I just think this is a win-win for the community,� Barnes said.

Emails released by DMUSD BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER Emails released by the Del Mar Union School District to Del Mar parent Michael Robertson, in response to his California Public Records Act request for communication between the state California Teachers’ Association and representatives of the DMUSD, show that the district used CTA guidelines and recommendations to plan and coordinate events and activities for last May’s Week of Action. Robertson asked for all emails related to the Week of Action, which was organized by the CTA and many local school districts to increase awareness and support for increased education funding. Although Robertson said the district has more undisclosed documents, he said those he was given show a clear link between the district and the state teachers’ union. David Skinner – former president of the Del Mar California Teachers Association, a member of the statewide CTA – wrote to DMUSD superintendent Jim Peabody April 21 asking to meet. “We (DMCTA) are planning some activities to increase awareness of the state budget situation among our teachers and parents,â€? Skinner said in the email. “I would like to see if we can coordinate our energies with any district initiatives. Perhaps we can plan some things to show a unified front.â€? DMUSD Trustee Kristin Gibson wrote to Peabody on April 22 that she and fellow trustee Scott Wooden “attended a DMCTA PAC meeting and we discussed the California State of Emergency Week of Action that CTA and CSBA [California School Boards Association] are promoting.â€? “Our PAC wants to be involved, and would like the support of the board,â€? Gibson wrote. Amy Hunter, political organizer for Region IV of the CTA, wrote to Skinner and Ocean Air teacher Carol Sharpe April 22 and provided a number of documents for them, including telephone scripts (“one for a board member or superintendentâ€?), a sample resolution for the school board (“this needs to go to Kristin Gibsonâ€?), and a link to the State of Emergency Web site which offered talking points, flyers, sample letters to the editor and other information. “Let me know what else I can help with,â€? Hunter wrote. “You guys are going to rock this out!!!â€? Sycamore Ridge teacher Debbie Hanna, who identified herself as a member of the DMCTA PAC, sent Peabody an email April 28 with an attached script for an all-call recorded telephone message to parents in support of the Week of Action. “If you would be so kind as to make this all-call,â€? she wrote. On May 4, Del Mar Hills teacher Eric Bienke wrote to Hills PTA president Mara Bickett, asking her to sign the Week of Action letter instead of him. “I was kind of envisioning that the email would be coming from the PTA, urging its members to get involved, and not coming from me personally,â€? Bienke wrote. “I think parents are going to be confused as to why I am sending this email out to the entire parent community.â€? Skinner wrote to Peabody May 4 with a draft letter that he asked Peabody to review and sign, to send to parents and the media highlighting the Week of Action’s activities. “Thanks for helping; it’s turning into a true ‘saturation campaign!’â€? Skinner wrote. “It is a wonderful letter,â€? Peabody replied. Gibson suggested adding a sentence to the letter about the loss of some of the district’s temporary teachers. The sentence read in part: “We were forced to release 25 of our temporary teachers ‌ this is a tremendous loss.â€? “It works well for me,â€? Peabody replied, of the letter. “Besides principals, district office, board members, and PTA folks, who do you want me to track down to sign?â€? Union involvement Robertson said the emails “clearly show that the CTA directs the DMUSD school board, school administration and teachers to engage in an overt political campaign.â€? He said the DMCTA PAC “directed the superintendent to place all callsâ€? and told the schools to host meetings. “The school board was told what resolution to pass and all the literature came from the CTA,â€? he said. “When the administration and board simply become employees of the CTA who directs their actions, then the system becomes perverted and fails,â€? Robertson said. School board president Comischell Rodriguez reacted with surprise to Robertson’s charges. “We are not endorsing a candidate nor a party,â€? she wrote in a May 6 email to Peabody. “We are doing our job to defend and be a part of the greater educational conversation.â€? “My thoughts exactly!â€? Peabody responded.

The shootings resulted in freeway closures. Photo/Tom Keck
Man arrested in freeway shootings BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man possibly responsible for a shooting spree on two San Diego freeways that left one motorist wounded was taken into custody Oct. 3 in the Lake View Terrace area of Los Angeles, authorities said. The man, labeled a ``person of interest’’ in the shootings, was taken into custody during a traffic stop about 10 a.m. at the Foothill (210) Freeway near Osborne Street, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jesse Udovich. The car he was driving had the same license number as the one wanted in connection with the four shootings on Interstate 805 and Interstate 5, which were reported within about 20 minutes late Monday morning, authorities said. According to the CHP, the shots were fired from a white 2006 Chevrolet Malibu registered to Enrique Ayon out of Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County. The 24-year-old Ayon — described as Latino, 5 feet 8 and 190 pounds — was being sought as a ``person of interest,’’ according to the CHP, which described him as armed and dangerous. A description of Ayon’s car and its license plate, 5POM917, were posted on electronic signs on major freeways earlier this
week. San Diego police Lt. Darryl Hoover said the Malibu, carrying at least two men, had been involved in a hit-and-run collision on East San Ysidro Boulevard shortly before the shooting spree began about 10:30 a.m. on northbound Interstate 805, near East Plaza Boulevard in National City. At least one bullet hit a car in that assault, though no one was hurt. A short time later, a shooting on Interstate 805 at Mesa College Drive wounded a 26-year-old man, Hoover said. Medics took him to a hospital for treatment of a non-lifethreatening calf wound. Within the next 15 or so minutes, gunfire again erupted on Interstate 805 near state Route 163, where a CHP officer was assisting a motorist, and on northbound Interstate 5 in the area of Del Mar Heights Road, according to Hoover. An ambulance apparently was targeted in the latter shooting, he said. No one was injured in those attacks. ``At this time, we have no information about any words being exchanged,’’ Hoover said Monday afternoon. ``As we know at this time, it’s just a stranger-on-stranger (crime).’’

TPHS opens casual eatery in the media center BY MEGAN MCVAY INTERN When seeking upscale food items, Torrey Pines High School students have to look no further than their own library due to the recent opening of an on-campus eatery. The district-run eatery, located in the lower level of the high school’s media center, opened on Oct. 4. Catering to a larger group of students, it offers products such as sushi, hummus, bistro sandwiches and 100 percent juice slushies. It will be open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. “It’s a different type of grab-and-go eating. The café is more upscale,” said Richard Mariam, the director of Nutritional Services for the San Dieguito Union High School District. Inspired by CCA’s student-run Nest Café, the new eatery has a self-service bagel toaster and a “build your own cereal” bar complete with stools and a bar-style counter. Contrary to the previous “no eating or drinking” rule in the library, the media center is now a destination location for students who wish to study and eat simultaneously. “Before, a large crowd wouldn’t go to the main cafeteria. By building the eatery in the media center, we are bringing the food services to them,” said Cindy Welch, the nutrition specialist for the San Dieguito Union High School District. Students who have unscheduled periods are allowed to visit the stand and students of the Torrey Pines Transitional Alternative Program (TAP) will be serving coffee to the administration. In the future, ASB will be involved with the eatery and it is possible that food made in culinary classes will be served at the cafe. Although the eatery will not be completely student-run like CCA’s Nest Café, the student body is involved in its current name-selecting
A new on-campus eatery recently opened at the TPHS media center. contest. According to Welch, the casual eatery is a product of the district’s goal to adapt nutritional services to meet the needs of 21st century students. In an effort to modernize graband-go eating, coupons to the café will be provided via Facebook and Twitter. “As we go into the future, students are using more technology, participating in online classes and spending more time doing work outside of the classroom. As education changes, so does the nutritional services we provide,” said Welch. Brett Killeen, the principal of Torrey Pines High School, reveals that the school’s goal is to create a reception area in the front of the school. The eatery, located within the frontal Del Mar Heights Road view of the school, is designed to establish an atmosphere that transitions from casual to academic as students walk deeper into the school. “The eatery is an asset for our school environment, in that students have a cool caféstyle facility to use. Torrey Pines High School is a shared space and we want it to be an inviting space,” said Killeen.

Helping people in Paraguay just the beginning for student BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Del Mar teenager Trey Hahn spent a life-changing six weeks in Paraguay this summer. For the Canyon Crest junior, the experience was more than just building stoves, planting trees and running educational camps for children. It was valuable work for sure, but Trey returned to the U.S. armed with a whole new perspective and a renewed focus on service. “It was the best summer of my life,” Trey said. Trey traveled to Paraguay with Amigos de las Americas, an international nonprofit that empowers young high school and college students to develop leadership skills and increase multi-cultural understanding through service projects in Latin America. Not only does Trey want to volunteer with the Amigos again next summer, he hopes to stay involved and move up the ranks to become a program supervisor by the time he’s in college and someday become a program director, in charge of managing an entire project in a Latin American country. “I feel like he can do anything now,” said his mother Eileen. “He had to go out there and get a community’s support on his own. He was completely comfortable as a leader. I’m so proud he was successful and knew he would be.” This summer the Amigos’ San Diego Chapter sent 18 high school students to seven different countries in
Amigos de las Americas: front row: Naomi Maisel, Nikki Cohen, Nan Hokkanen, Marla Villar, Perri Callaway, Erika Symczak; middle row: Matt Hummel, Jordan Verga, Trey Hahn, Fletcher Holst, Sabrina Ruediger, Jenai Machhi, Eric Rumble, Molly Spitters, Kianna Eberle; and back row: Cameron Gurley, Joey Kobara, Jesse Ostroff Latin America, including Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Paraguay. Trey was one of four local students to go, the others were: Del Mar’s Erika Symczak, a senior at Torrey Pines High, and Canyon Crest juniors Molly Spitters and Jesse Ostroff. To participate in the program, Trey underwent more than 140 hours of training in the months leading up to the trip, in addition to fundraising $3,000 to pay for the charitable works he would complete in Paraguay. The San Diego chapter fundraised by selling coffee and poinsettias and writing letters to possible donors. Individual families were then responsible to pay for airfare. With his partner Diego Bravo, Trey spent six weeks living and working in the community of San Felipe
from June 27-Aug. 10. “Everything there is really different. Life is more simple than it is here,” Trey said. “The people were the nicest people, all of the community was family. If you were hungry you would just walk to the nearest house, everyone was so welcoming.” Trey’s “family” was one of the younger ones in the community; the mother was 25 years old and the father 32. In a three-room house (kitchen, patio and bedroom), the parents lived with the father’s 6 year old, the mother’s 3 year old and another 10-year-old child who was not related to the family. The home had dirt floors and there were no luxuries, such as a shower or toilet. Before Trey built the family a new stove, they cooked all their meals on an
WOOD FIRED PIZZAS • PASTAS • SALADS • FULL BAR • CATERING
indoor campfire on the ground. Smoke would always be in the home as there was always a fire burning. A sample menu included armadillo (“Really good, my favorite”), cow brain (“not very good”), cow kidney (“squishy and a little bit weird”), pig heart and pig lungs. “I didn’t expect him to encounter this type of adventure,” said mom Eileen. “It’s just phenomenal.” Trey and his partner held a lottery to decide which homes would receive a new stove, The stove was comprised of bricks and a mortar mix, a stovetop, box for an oven and a cement chimney. Trey had never constricted anything like these stoves before but grew to love the work. “(The families) were really happy when we were done, they would thank us and invite us to come back anytime and eat with them,” said Trey. One elderly woman in the community was really hoping for a stove but wasn’t selected in the lottery. Amigos was able to get a grant for a seventh stove from an organization called Plan International and the woman received her stove. “She was very excited. She told us she’d kill a chicken for us,” Trey said. The trees Trey planted served many purposes for the community. They were valuable sources of shade, seeds, fruit, a place for animals to live (poles were set against trees so chickens could climb
Trey Hahn with his host family in Paraguay on an Amigos de las Americas service trip into them to be protected from coyotes and wild dogs) and a source of wood, which was used to built houses, beds, chairs, and more. “We would say that without trees there is no life there,” Trey said. Each home that received a stove would also receive 10 trees. Amigos had 100 trees to begin with so the leftover 30 trees were planted for the entire community — they planted fruit trees around the schoolyard for the children to eat from. Trey also assisted in running camps for the children, helping them learn Spanish and playing games. Trey said he is now essentially fluent in Spanish but they also speak Guaraní in Paraguay—he estimates he was able to learn nearly 100 words of Guaraní. Trey hopes to establish an Amigos Club at Canyon Crest Academy this year in addition to playing varsity tennis in the spring and balancing “really hard classes.” He is interested in study-
ing linguistics and international studies. The experience has changed Trey. He can’t stand to be inside for too long now and prefers being outside. Food has also changed for him after living with a family that depended only on themselves and their land for what they consumed. Since returning to Del Mar, Trey has started a vegetable garden in his backyard to grow corn, radishes, squash and tomatoes. Trey especially noticed how different things are in San Diego than in Paraguay during the blackout, when people didn’t have power for several hours and “everyone freaked out.” After the way he lived for six months, going to bed with the sunset and rising with sunrise, he thought not having power was nothing to stress about. “There’s a lot bigger world out there and people live a whole different way outside this bubble. I was happier there then I have been anywhere and it shows that money isn’t everything,” Trey said. “Everyone should make an effort to see how good things can be somewhere else.” Amigos has had an overwhelming response for summer 2012 projects. Anyone who missed the cut-off date can request to go on the waitlist for summer 2013 by contacting Joyce Mizock, San Diego chapter president, of the at (760) 632-1177 or joyce@ mizock.com.

Irish-born international etiquette consultant devotes career to creating a more thoughtful and courteous approach to life BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor When it comes to etiquette and protocol, Carmel Valley resident Marie Betts-Johnson doesn’t carry a big stick, as Teddy Roosevelt once advised, but she does speak softly, with authority and aided and abetted by a charming Irish brogue. Based in San Diego since 1989, Betts-Johnson is an Irish-born, internationally-recognized etiquette consultant, speaker and columnist who is the founder and president of the International Protocol Institute of California. We interviewed BettsJohnson in The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Blond with dark-green eyes and a model-like demeanor, she was dressed impeccably in a black pant suit accented with a pearland-diamond style brooch and a single strand of freshwater pearls. Dressing appropriately for an occasion, she believes, is an essential aspect of etiquette and protocol. “Whether we like it or
not, the person we are on the inside is judged by what we wear on the outside.” Nor do you have to be wealthy to dress well, she says. “Good taste is what’s important.” Her choice of a career, she said, came naturally to her. “The Irish are very hospitable. We entertain a lot in our home. And then I was in a convent boarding school and the nuns were tough. The strict rules became engrained in me and, even though I did not see the benefit at the time, they stood me in good stead when called upon. “Etiquette is not about snobbishness,” she insists. “It’s the opposite. It’s all about being confident in one’s self, knowing what to do and when to do it. And then putting other people at ease and respecting other people. It’s that simple. But you have to know what the rules or guidelines are. I like the word ‘guidelines’ better than ‘rules’.” The true meaning of etiquette, she believes, is kindness.
She loves the story about the dinner guest who, when presented a finger bowl of water “with that nice slice of lemon it,” mistakenly took a sip. The hostess, not wanting to embarrass her guest, followed his example. “You see, that’s the essence of etiquette,” BettsJohnson said. “It’s not about putting anyone down.” But she also agrees with Mark Twain who said: “A person should be allowed a few redeeming vices, but never bad manners.” And when it comes to common courtesy these days, sadly, she said, the frustrations are many and great. “Courtesy and thoughtfulness have become endangered practices.” On the highways, that lack of courtesy or kindness too often results in incidents of road rage, and in supermarket check-out lines (and in restaurants), “we are doomed to listen to feckless cell phone abusers who share the most inti-
mate details of their personal lives. Then, most recently, there is the emergence of deadly cyber-bullying by “people hiding behind screens.” But, she still remains optimistic. “If you don’t have hope, what’s the point. And I hope there’ll be more of us going out there and creating the awareness, if nothing more. “And the good news is that anyone can learn the accepted codes of etiquette and protocol.” She was born Marie Betts in County Tipperary, Ireland, and grew up as the youngest of three children. Her family’s 300-acre working farm is located about 10 miles from the town of Tipperary. She was educated in convent boarding schools and later went on to Dublin to work in the trusts and wills department of a bank. Wanting to “see the world,” she joined ALIA, the Royal Jordanian Air-

Torrey Hills teen takes steps to ensure a world without breast cancer Sixty miles in one direction can take you many places, but 16-year-old Torrey Pines High School Senior Natalie Espinosa has joined thousands of breast cancer supporters in preparing for the 2011 Susan G. Komen San Diego 3-Day for the Cure® because 60 miles can take her closer to finding a cure. After months of training and fundraising, participants will walk 60 miles during three days to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and community-based breast health and education programs. “This is my first year participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure,” said Espinosa. “Through my participation in this event I know I am making a personal impact on the breast cancer movement. The Komen 3-Day for the Cure is challenging, but the opportunity to have an impact is enormous.” “Seven years ago my swim team buddy lost her stepmom to breast cancer. I remember how terrible it was. My mom, Christina, was already a participant in the 3-Day (this is her 5th) and I promised that when I turn 16, I would join her. This past year we also lost a long-time family friend but I know that my mom and I are making a difference. The walking is tough, the fundraising is tougher but the hardest thing of all is to see someone suffer of this wicked disease. If you see us walking along Carmel Mountain Road on Saturday and Sunday mornings don’t hesitate to honk or wave to show your support.” Espinosa is not a stranger in the Torrey Hills neighborhood. You will also see her every third Saturday of the month together with founder Samantha Becorest, a Canyon Crest Academy Senior, at the Torrey Hills Book Exchange (THBE) in the Vons shopping center. The THBE will host two special events on Oct. 15 and Nov. 18 to show its support to breast cancer awareness and help Espinosa’s fundraising efforts.

CV resident wins award for bathroom design Carmel Valley interior designer Deborah Gordon recently won the San Diego Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s 2011 Design Competition for her design of a bathroom in a Mission Hills home. Gordon, of Deborah Gordon Designs, Deborah Gordon created the winning bathroom in a 1914 craftsman-style home with a historic designation. She converted two smaller chopped up spaces into a large on-suite master bathroom that displayed the homeowner’s rustic and eclectic sense of style. Gordon designed an antiqued bead board vanity and armoire, and added rustic elements such as a granite vessel sink and wall–mounted faucet in oil-rubbed bronze. The homeowner loved the view of the back garden so Gordon made it a focal point by placing the vanity underneath the window and the oval mirror above it, flanked by custom-made, hand-blown Venetian glass pendant lights. A custom-made chandelier of antique stencils was commissioned for the room and

Reception
Adagio-Ballet Series
Thursday, October 6th Artist Bio John Asaro’s recent paintings capture the life force behind dance, his main focus of the series 100 Dancers. With brilliant fauve colors, his admiration for dancers and their dedication is reflected in his own dedication to capturing the lines and forms of the graceful ballerinas. He follows them from classroom to stage in various poses of relaxation, performance, contemplation, and even the pain that comes with such passion. On stage or in the classroom, the costumes and lighting are constantly shifting, creating delicate tension between the artists and their environment. Always listening to the orchestral arrangements as he paints, Asaro’s inspired works are imbued with music. He occasionally finds himself of the same ilk, and dances around his studio, paintbrush in hand with his patient cat as a partner. It’s easy to give yourself up to the captivating essence of dance; John Asaro certainly has.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Developer’s One Paseo rendering misleading I was pleased to see that the Community Forum on the One Paseo-Main Street project was featured on the front page of the Sept. 29 issue of the Carmel Valley News. This project is undoubtedly the most controversial and character-changing development ever proposed for the masterplanned Carmel Valley community, and, in order to develop a well-informed opinion, CV residents and tenants need to understand both the value of the amenities promised by the developer and the costs/negative impacts to the community associated with the hugely increased scale of the project.
Mr. Tash’s contributed article provided a fairly balanced report of the meeting with representative comments from both sides of the controversial project. However, following the old saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” the inclusion of the developer’s artistic rendering of the One Paseo-Main Street project, which shows only a strategic, idyllic view of low profile buildings and few cars, tended to detract from the balance of the reporting. While the developer can be expected to showcase the project’s most attractive view, I would expect that the Carmel

Tennis clinic offered for children with disabilities Xcite Sports will offer a tennis clinic specifically structured for children of all ages experiencing a disability. The purpose and mission for this tennis clinic is to provide a sense of pride and fulfillment through athletic movement and team play. The tennis clinic will be run by head tennis professional Darrin Bassett at the Fairbanks tennis courts in Rancho Santa Fe. Bassett will be assisted by experienced tennis coaches keeping our ratio 3 to 1. Each participant will receive personalized tennis instruction ensuring success at their own level of play. At the end of the eight-week session every child will have felt a sense of achievement in learning a new sport, built confidence in themselves and their abilities, made new friends, and have had a great tennis clinic experience. The clinics will be held every Monday from 4:156:15 p.m., Oct. 10 -Dec. 5 (skipping Halloween). To sign up, call Program Director Pam Machala at 858-703-7305 or email at: pmachala@excitesteps.com; www.excitesteps.com.
Valley News would also recognize the WhatPriceMainStreet opposition group presented graphics that conveyed an important, but substantially less flattering, perspective of the project. In the interest of fair reporting to the community, I would hope that the graphic (above right) could also be published. This artist rendering, which was taken from the plans submitted to the City of San Diego and annotated to provide
points of reference, shows an aerial view of the project’s actual scale and density that would come from 1,852,000 square feet of buildings located in two 10-story buildings, one 8-story building, and five 5-story buildings, etc. on 22.8
acres—a building-toland ratio that is nine times greater than the existing Del Mar Highlands Town Center. I have had many conversations with Carmel Valley residents over the past year about this project. When these residents--
Redistricting, term limits, musical chairs politics ONE VIEW Redistricting draws new political maps every 10 years. A new openprimary law requires that the top two vote-getters in a primary meet in the general election, even if both of are from the same GORDON party. Voter-manCLANTON dated legislative North Coast term limits (a bad columnist idea in my view) have unleashed unintended consequences, including a mad game of musical chairs as career politicians, honorable and dishonorable, scramble to find new seats. Republican Brian Bilbray’s new 52nd Congressional District will have a Republican registration edge of only 3 percent, compared with a 9 percent advantage in his old district. Former Assemblywoman Lori Saldana has announced for this seat. Former San Diego City Council President Scott Peters is considering the race. Further south, Congresswoman Susan Davis’ Democratic edge was trimmed from 19 to 12 percent. Riddle: What’s worse than having Brian Bilbray for your congressman? Answer: Having Darrell Issa for your congressman. Del Mar and points north will now be in Issa’s safe Republican district. Redistricting puts Del Mar in the assembly district of Democrat Toni Atkins, former SD councilmember. For-
mer DM Councilwoman Crystal Crawford is considering running for this seat when Atkins terms out in 2016. Democratic Assemblyman Marty Block will run for the state senate seat of termed-out Christine Kehoe. SD council members Tony Young and Marti Emerald are said to be looking at Block’s seat. Tony Young’s District 4 has more Hispanics than blacks, but the district has been represented by African Americans since 1969. Councilmembers Todd Gloria and Lori Zapf will move to seek re-election in their redefined districts – unless Zapf moves into Kevin Falconer’s district as he terms out in 2014. Marti Emerald has said she will run in the new ninth district, which will be one-third Asian. Gloria is the only Asian on the council. Supervisor Pam Slater-Price surprised many people with her recent announcement that, despite a formidable war chest of $315K, she will not seek another term. Brian Bilbray’s chief of staff, Steve Danon, has been running for this seat for more than a year. This rare open seat on the county board almost certainly will attract one or more additional candidates. Four heavyweights have announced for mayor of San Diego: DA Bonnie Dumanis, Councilman Carl DeMaio, Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, and Congressman Bob Filner, the only Democrat. Old nemesis, state Senator Juan Vargas, will seek Filner’s congressional seat. Former state Senator Denise Ducheny also is considering this race. Stay tuned. — Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu. edu.
--even with those who had favorable feelings toward the mixed-use project after viewing the developer’s glitzy promotions— were alerted to the scale of buildings and density increase over the existing entitlement and the accompanying traffic and other negative impacts, they almost always responded with the comment “I had no idea!” So, it is very important that the Carmel Valley News continue providing detailed coverage of this very significant proposed development.

Kilroy Realty misrepresents character of One Paseo My husband and I attended the meeting you covered in the article “One Paseo meeting draws crowd.” We are against this project, mainly because of its high density (four times that which is currently zoned!) and the increased traffic that it will surely produce in CV. Kilroy Realty continues to market this project by misrepresenting its density and character. The picture you printed with this article also distorts the project. The “Main Street gathering place/shopping” concept covers about 10 percent of the project. The remainder consists of highrise office buildings, multi-story condos and a hotel. At this meeting, that at least 200 people attended, a Kilroy representative claimed to have conducted “hundreds” of interviews, finding people excited about One Paseo. We have not met one person who lives in Carmel Valley and was interviewed by Kilroy personnel. Those we did speak with are against this project. They agree that it does not provide the type of shopping that most of us need in CV. No one expressed any desire for a “gathering place.” We chose to live in Carmel Valley because it is not a congested area, such as the UTC neighborhood. NO on One Paseo!

ETIQUETTE continued from page 10 line, as a flight attendant. “My plan was to stay for a year, travel and explore as much of the world as possible. Fortunately, I was in the right place at the right time and met a member of the Royal Staff and was offered a job with the Royal Crew on board the 727 Royal Jet of King Hussein and his [Americanborn] wife Queen Noor.” As a Royal Crew member from 1982 to 1984, she flew exclusively with the royal couple. On board she had the opportunity to meet with dignitaries and royalty from all over the world, including the 19-year-old newly-married Princess Diana, her husband Prince Charles, the King and Queen of Spain, King Constantine of Greece, Yasser Arafat, and U.S. Secretary of State George Schultz. In all the time she worked as part of the Royal Crew, she recalled, “There wasn’t one person of high rank who was not gracious.” “I really learned early

their pets off-leash — and ballplayers, who use the field several times a week during the spring baseball season. During the last Little League season, practices and games were interrupted when dogs crossed over a temporary fence between the ballfield and an open, asphalt area where the dog lovers congregate, said Chris Underwood, a Little League coach who has been working with the other groups to try to come up with a solution to the dispute. Over the past year, Underwood said, it seemed that more and more people started bringing their dogs to the park. “They kind of more or less took it over, for lack of better word, a land grab. They made it uncomfortable for Little League,” said Underwood. In April, Underwood said, the Little League decided to pull out of the Shores property, because of dogs running through games and practices and “heated arguments” between dog owners and parents. Parents didn’t feel the situation was safe for their children, he said. Wade Walker, a spokesman for the dog lovers, said the animosity between the groups was unfortunate. Dog lovers contributed to
in life that ‘the people who mind, don’t matter; and the people who matter, don’t mind.’” “We interacted with the family when their children accompanied them on trips and, occasionally, the crew joined them for dinners and other outings,” she said. “Both King Hussein and Queen Noor were devoted to bringing peace to the Middle East and it was my impression that the trappings of royalty were secondary to them,” she once told an Irish magazine. “This experience was the catalyst for my interest in etiquette. Everything was done perfectly and attention to detail was mandatory. It gave me insight into what it takes to make things run smoothly and the behind-the-scenes effort required in hosting international guests and dignitaries.” Coming to the U.S., she earned an associates degree in marketing and merchandising at the Louise Salinger Academy of Fashion, San Francisco, 1985-87; followed by courses in business etiquette and the campaign to raise money to buy the Shores property, he said, and they wanted to be able to share it with the Little League. In September, the two sides attended a meeting of the city Parks and Recreation Committee, which advises the City Council. Since then, Walker said, he, Underwood and Spieker have been trying to work out a compromise. Walker said the most promising plan would be to divide the upper field of the Shores property, where the ballfield now takes up one side, with a fence, and install turf and sprinklers on the other side, which is now covered with asphalt. That way, each group could enjoy a roughly equivalent section of the upper field and its fabulous views. “All the stars are aligned. The people in the city want resolution on this. The dog people do and so does the Little League,” said Walker. The proposed solution would restore the equilibrium that existed two years ago between dog lovers and ballplayers, before the city removed a fence around the ballfield because it was in disrepair and posed a safety hazard, said Spieker. The next step would be to bring the compromise back to the parks and recreation committee, and ultimately, to the City Council

for approval. “This is classic Del Mar, we’ve got to work through things,” said Spieker. If the plan is approved by the city, the friends group would work to raise money for the project, which would include installation of the fence, replacing asphalt with turf and extending the existing sprinkler system, at an estimated cost of $35,000, said Walker. Mayor Don Mosier said he is “cautiously optimistic” that an agreement between the groups can be worked out. “The whole thing has been too protracted. I hope they get there very quickly.” He stressed that whatever is worked out between the groups, everyone must realize this would be a temporary solution for the next two or three years, until the city completes a master plan that establishes permanent uses for the property. What is clear, Mosier said, is that when the city bought the property from the Del Mar Union School District, the idea was to make it available to a broad cross-section of the population. “It is intended to serve all residents of the community, no particular group has a vested right to use the park,” Mosier said.
protocol at The Protocol School of Washington. In 1989, settling in San Diego, she founded the International Protocol Institute of California. Her experience, training and hands-on expertise enabled her to develop an extensive range of training sessions and seminars in etiquette and protocol customized for individuals, groups, and corporations. Her corporate clients included IBM, Sony, Gucci Timepieces, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, UCSD, The Thomas Jefferson School of Law and the International Bankers’ Association of California. Asked what are some of biggest “mistakes” people make in etiquette and protocol, she said, in the corporate world, it’s “not knowing how to make introductions that put people at ease and make you look good too” and “not taking the time to study the culture” before going on a business trip to a foreign country. “It’s too late when you’re there.” “Dining etiquette is also extremely important… We’re judged by how we dine. We really are

judged…There are different styles of dining too — American, Continental, Asian — but, whatever style you have, do it right,” she advises. “Hold the knife and fork correctly. And when the meal is over, know where to place the utensils.” Also, she said, etiquette changes with the times. “It’s not a static thing.” In addition to programs covering international corporate business diplomacy, protocol, and cultural awareness, she also offers group etiquette training and individual coaching, including dining etiquette, for teenagers and young adults “because that’s where it all starts” and job interview protocol for college students about to enter the tough, competitive job market.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Football: Two weeks removed from its most lopsided loss in more than five years, Cathedral Catholic was back to its normal, dominant self again for a second straight week. In a final tuning for Eastern League play, the Dons defeated Eastlake 26-7 in a nonleague game on Sept. 30. After a humbling 48-14 loss to Helix on Sept. 16, the Dons, who defeated Olympian 31-0 on Sept. 23, have outscored their last two opponents by a combined 577. The Dons had scored 57 unanswered points against the two teams until Eastlake scored in the fourth quarter of a game in which the outcome was no longer in question. Dons quarterback Garrett Bogart completed five of eight pass attempts for 117 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Dons broke a scoreless deadlock early in the second quarter on J.J. Stavola’s scoring run from the 1. The Dons special teams set the tone for a decisive third quarter, when Jake Terzoli blocked a punt that
bounced out of the end zone for a safety that made it 9-0. Chris Molinga scored on a 3-yard run to make it 16-0, and Bogart completed a 43-yard scoring pass to Brian Heinz to make it 23-0. The Dons stretched their lead to 26-0 in the fourth quarter on Christian Fanning’s 28-yard field goal. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 4-1. • • • • • Santa Fe Christian remained red-hot as the Eagles defeated La Jolla 38-23 in a nonleague game on Sept. 30 for their fourth straight win. Eagles quarterback Connor Moore was involved in four touchdowns, leading an offense that rolled up 367 total yards. Moore rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns on seven carries, and threw for 86 yards and one touchdown. He completed five of 12 pass attempts. Jarrod Watson-Lewis rushed for 63 yards on seven carries, and Tony Miro rushed for 58 yards on 13 carries. Moore scored on a 20yard run early in the first quarter that set the tone for the victory. Drew Shields kicked a
33-yard field goal early in the second quarter to make it 10-0, and WatsonLewis scored on a 38-yard Eagles a 17-0 lead. The Eagles broke open a 17-7 game when Moore started a decisive stretch in which they scored 21 unanswered points with a scoring run from the 1 late in the second quarter. Moore scored on a 72-yard run early in the third quarter, and he completed a 40-yard scoring pass to Nathan Ross that stretched the Eagles lead to 38-7. Nathaniel Fredricks led the Eagles defensively with 11 tackles, and Moore and Graham Gomez each contributed nine tackles. The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 4-1. • • • • • Torrey Pines lost to Carlsbad 14-10 in a nonleague game on Sept. 30. Falcons quarterback Andrew Perkins was 10-for-16 passing for 139 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer One of the world’s most traveled people, Bill Altaffer, is content to call Carmel Valley his home base. Altaffer holds the world record for visiting the most UNESCO World Heritage sites (732 of 936), as well as being the second most-traveled person in the world. (World Heritage sites are natural and cultural places that are considered to have “outstanding universal value.”) He’s visited all 192 UN countries, plus 300 island groups, exhausted 12 passports and 130 visas, surfed on every continent and skied on six of them, visited both the North and South Poles and has been to Siberia 15 times. “It’s a big world out there, you don’t really know about a place until you go to it,” said Altaffer, on this day wearing a Dubai Hilton shirt. Altaffer runs his own travel company, Expedition Photo Travel, and serves as a guide for various tour groups. His next trip through Valour Tours will be in May 2012, a western Russia military history tour. Russia is Altaffer’s favorite place to visit—he’s been to all 92 states. He said Siberia is a “real jewel”— he often visits during seasons other than winter as he’s heard one ski resort there hits 65 below and the only way to survive is by wearing fur. The most beautiful locales on the globe he’s seen are the turquoise-blue waters of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, the paradise of the rock islands of Palau in the Pacific Ocean, and the jagged mountains of Torres del Paine in Chile. “I have a list of 14 countries that I could live in,” he said. “I could live in Thailand but not Europe, it’s too expensive and too boring. Most of the places I’d live are in the

They take your cell phone, your computer,” Altaffer said. “But it isn’t sinister, it feels very safe…it’s just a different society.” His least favorite places to visit were Equatorial, Guinea in Middle Africa and Nigeria, both of which he said are ruled by corrupt dictators and it is very difficult to travel there. He also doesn’t enjoy traveling in West Africa because the airports and planes are extremely dangerous, he said —as are the SEE ROAD, PAGE B23

Jazz legends headline Athenaeum’s fall series FROM MUSEUM REPORTS The Athenaeum’s jazz program returns to auditorium at The Neurosciences Institute for its annual, three-concert fall series, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr. • The series opens at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12 with the New Gary Burton Quartet, featuring Athenaeum debuts by vibraphone legend Gary Burton and rising star guitarist Julian Lage, along with bassist Scott Colley and drummer Peter Erskine. One of the premiere vibraphonists in the history of jazz, Burton’s career stretches back to the mid1960s, when he toured nationally in the bands of George Shearing and Stan Getz. He soon was leading his own ensembles and in 1968 was named the youngest-ever Jazz Artist of the Year by DownBeat magazine. Burton’s recordings have earned him multiple Grammy awards and have featured collaborations

with artists like Pat Matheny, and most notably, Chick Corea, with whom he has shared four Grammys. In addition to performing, Burton has trained generations of jazz artists through his 33 years as an educator at Boston’s Berk-
lee College of Music. • Concert two, at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24, features a return visit by the groundbreaking jazz quartet, Oregon, which this year is celebrating its 40th year as an ensemble with Ralph Towner on guitars, piano, and keyboards; Paul
McCandless on woodwinds; Glen Moore on bass; and Mark Walker on drums and percussion. • The series concludes at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26, with a special CD release event by the Mike Wofford/ Holly Hofmann Quintet, featuring Terell Stafford on trumpet, Rob Thorsen on bass, and Richard Sellers on drums. Recognized by DownBeat as “one of the outstanding pianists of our time,” Wofford’s first performances date to the 1960s with the Lighthouse All-Stars and the bands of Shelly Manne, Teddy Edwards, Chet Baker, Bud Shank and Shorty Rogers. From the ’70s to the ’90s, Wofford toured with artists like Lee Konitz, Benny Carter, and Zoot Sims, and as pianist and music director for Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. His wife and co-leader in the quintet, Holly Hofmann, is one of the Athenaeum’s favorite performers.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Gallery brings Chinese art revolution to area
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer There’s an artistic revolution going on in China, a phenomenon that has sprung from a rapidly changing political, social and cultural climate. “Information there is getting harder and harder for the government to control,” said Lenny Schas, who became involved in this art explosion by opening a gallery in Beijing to collect, trade and educate. “The art scene in China is similar to what happened here in the 1960s.” After 12 successful years of running the Beijing gallery, Schas decided he wanted to share this moment in Chinese history with America — particularly this area — and he consulted with owner Marc Baza to open a second gallery at 2690 Via de la Valle in the Flower Hill Promenade. The Gallery of Chinese Cultural Arts opened almost a year ago in an unofficial capacity, and celebrated a grand opening on Sept. 17.
The gallery is a blend of academic and commercial efforts, both doing exhibitions and providing education. “It’s not about selling to anyone who walks in the door, but also about being able to teach and encourage people to think and challenge them,” said Schas, adding that the gallery works a lot with prominent collectors and museums. “A lot of collectors are in San Diego, but generally you have to go to New York or L.A. to find work at this level,” he said. “We hope to keep those people here in San Diego and help develop a sophisticated croup of collectors and viewers.” China is home to the fastest growing art community in the world, said Schas, with art by Chinese artists often appreciating at auctions by 500 percent. Financial problems that have plagued the United States have only been a “bump in the road” for China, and Chinese artists — even novices — are at “the top of their game,”
he said. The galleries in Beijing and Del Mar have featured the art of some of the most notable subversives, such as Ai Weiwei, who made headlines when he was arrested in April and held for two months with no official charges being filed. “These are the people who are really affecting change and documenting it,” said Schas. “We’ve had works of his but the few we get will sell within a day or two.” Ai Weiei is just one of many artists at the forefront of the cultural and political change going on in China, Schas said. “The art is so vital and so alive and so relevant,” he said. “It’s going to have a very strong historical context. Now will be the most important time in the Chinese art community.” More information about the gallery is available at www.goccarts.com.

A Coco-Choco-Nut Crêpe with Nutella, banana, coconut and whipped cream, is served with a cappuccino.
BY KELLEY CARLSON t Crêpes & Corks in Del Mar, guests get a taste of Europe — delicately thin pancakes from France, Italian paninis, the occasional offering of Spain’s classic paella dish, and wines from all over the world. Chef Nicolo Becucci — who is also coowner, along with Lana Blackwell — is instrumental in providing the international flavor. Everything is made in-house, Becucci said; patrons can observe him preparing crêpes in the kitchen, just behind the front counter, or catch a glimpse of Blackwell baking Red Velvet Cupcakes or another culinary delight. There are a number of crêpes to choose from, savory to sweet, and they can even be made gluten-free upon request. One of the lighter entree choices is asparagus, which also includes prosciutto, Brie and romaine lettuce, with a drizzling of rosemary olive oil. A more filling option is C3: grilled chicken breast, artichoke hearts, smoked bacon, sweet red onion over mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil with pesto mayo. Got a sweet tooth to satisfy? Coco-ChocoNut features Nutella, banana, coconut and whipped cream. Paninis are also a mainstay, there are selections ranging from Black Forest Ham and Prosciutto & Brie to Veggie Delight. Every couple of months, the Paella Valenciana rice dish and Spanish wine are served during the restaurant’s popular Paella Night. Although there is no specific children’s menu, all items are customizable, Becucci said. The most popular entree for kids is the
A
Bruschetta served with Chimay, a traditional Belgium beer. grilled cheese-and-chicken crêpe, with a Jack-and-cheddar blend. Not only can patrons enjoy a meal at Crêpes & Corks, but they can also sample wines and order a glass to complement their meals. At the bar (part of the restaurant’s recent expansion into the former RE/MAX space) a flight of three wines is offered daily for tasting, featuring different labels each day and discounts on Thirsty Thursdays. Becucci emphasized that he and Blackwell showcase area vintages as much as possible. “It’s good for locals to know wines from this area that they may not know about,” he said. Labels represented include Wiens Family Cellars from Temecula, Orfila Vineyards & Winery of Escondido, and Carruth Cellars in Solana Beach. More than 45 labels are for sale in the establishment’s wine shop (resting on racks just inside the entrance) with more than 40
offered by the glass. Patrons who order bottles are welcome to leave the corks on the table and sign them; Becucci and Blackwell glue them on a red brick wall at the front of the restaurant. Along with the food and beverages, the atmosphere of the restaurant itself is decidedly European. “We’re all about relaxing and enjoying what we have,” said Becucci, who hails from Switzerland and speaks several languages. On the dog-friendly sidewalk patio, which allows for people-watching along Camino del Mar, a chocolate-brown umbrella shades each wrought-iron table. Tiny white lights twinkle on the railing around the area’s perimeter. Inside, paintings and photos of such subjects as wine bottles, actors, the ocean and racehorses, hang along golden and red brick-hued walls. Patrons may engage in conversation with friends and family or enjoy the benefits of free WiFi while seated at a table, or relax at the bar with a glass of wine or a beer on tap. A private room in the back seats eight to 10 people. Reservations at Crêpes & Corks are highly recommended for special events and monthly wine pairing dinners, but are not needed as much during the week, Becucci said. Whenever a guest chooses to visit, Becucci recommends starting with a glass of wine and asking for recommendations; then order a light appetizer to share. Next, select one of the savory crêpes for the main course. But be sure to save room for dessert.

‘Cheers! South Crossing’ to feature music, wine, food and more BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Neighbors may have noticed some changes that have been made to the southern corridor of South Cedros Avenue. Newly planted palm trees and Mexican Seagrass along with bright, spring floral baskets now enhance the hardscape creating a colorful palette. This is the newly formed South Crossing, where Rosa Avenue meets South Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach. While South Crossing is new to the neighborhood, it harkens back to a forgotten local history, said Sean McLeod, who is the creative mind behind the enhanced street corner. “This area is where neighbors used to pass to cross the tracks to get to Highway 101 and to the beach, before the railroad tracks were laid below street level,” he said. The Rosa Street bridge now spans that spot. An inaugural evening event, Cheers! South Crossing, is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 15 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. It will commemorate South Crossing as the official gateway to the southern end of South Cedros Ave. and will bring together the
South Crossing, where Rosa Avenue meets South Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach community through jazz music, wine, food and friendship, said McLeod. This is a ticketed wine tasting event for adults, which costs $25 in advance, payable online or at the store of a participating merchant, or $30 at the door on the evening of the event. The ticket price purchases a wristband which allows access to food, wine tasting and entry into the music area. Attendees should check in at the parking lot where Ordover Gallery and Cokas
Diko are located. At that location attendees will pick up a wristband and a name tag. “Then they will go to the next check point where they will get a program and a unique, stemless Govino wine tasting glass, that is theirs to keep,” said McLeod. The space will be transformed into a candlelit gathering area with tables, chairs, and colorful umbrellas. Four vintners will have their respective tastings in tented booths creating a European-style ambiance.
Club Django Gypsy Jazz Guitars will perform live, and tasty bites of Onolicious Hawaiian pulled pork with pineapple salsa sliders, chicken kabobs, gyros pita and more will be available. The event is co-hosted by Nature and Cultural International, a Del Mar-based charity that plays a central role in assisting indigenous, local, regional and national governments in Latin America protect more than 7.7 million acres of imperiled tropical forest ecosystems, areas of exceptional biodiversity and many threatened species. This is the first of what will be once-a-month events starting next spring, and each will have a charity tiein, said McLeod. “Looking ahead we will have a film
festival, poetry readings, and lots of interesting activities centered around meeting with friends, making new friends and enjoying good food, fine wine and live music,” he added. The Shops at South Crossing include Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery, Cokas Diko, Cowgirl Trading Post, La Femme Chic, Ordover Gallery, Weeds, Passion Fine Jewelry, Curve Couture, Ocean Art By Koniakowsky, Lockwood Table, Sala Joya, and Coast Highway Photography. Tickets may be purchased in advance at any of these merchants’ stores. The four vintners at the tasting include Carruth Cellars, 12 Signs Winery, Tempus Alba, and Ancient Peaks Winery. There will also be spe-
cial event discounts and opportunity drawing prizes. Passion Fine Jewelry will offer a 10 percent discount on items purchased from the Alex Sepkus line of jewelry. Sticks and Stones Earrings by Alex Sepkus will be donated for an opportunity drawing, a $3,850 value. Weeds will donate two $250 gift certificates for the drawing and will also offer 25 percent off its full line of merchandise. Cheers! South Crossing will take place at 412 South Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach, on Saturday, Oc. 15, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. To purchase tickets online visit www.cedrossouthcrossing. com or call (858) 755 0444 for more information.
The Nativity School hosts state-of-the-art Tech Expo The Nativity School teamed up with CCS Presentation Systems to host a free Technology Expo for public, private, and faith-based pre-schools, elementary, and middle schools in San Diego County on Sept. 23. The event was held at The Nativity School, located in Rancho Santa Fe, in the school’s Holy Family Activity Center. Attendees included principals, directors, technology coordinators, business managers, and teachers across San Diego County from public, private, and faith-based schools. Among the attendees were Kelly Smith and Lisa Campillo, leaders of the Technology Educators Coalition of San Diego County (TEC of SDC), a dedicated group of technology teachers, directors, support staff, and administrators who meet regularly to collaborate and share knowledge and resources on technology integration in the school setting.

La Jolla Writers Conference to be held Nov. 4-6 World-famous exotic Savannah Cat Shoppe opens at Flower Hill Promenade Conference features top authors, agents, editors, publishers and publicists Flower Hill recently welcomed one of the most unique shops to ever be a part of the shopping center — the Savannah Cat Shoppe. The shop is the first of its kind to feature the exotic Savannah cats, the world’s largest domestic house cat. It’s the only shop in the world with a Savannah habitat and gives the public the ability to interact with these spectacular cats. They say that pets are a manifestation of their owners. If that’s true, Savannah cats reflect a cultured spirit: an unrivaled mix of haute couture and savage superiority. The Savannah cat is likely the most unique cat you will ever find: an exSavannah cats can be found at the Savannah Cat tremely rare hybrid breed derived Shoppe at Flower Hill Promenade. from a domestic cat mated with a serval, an African wildcat. They are known for their playful, dog-like personalities. So much like dogs in fact, that they love to play in water, and are often even seen walked on a leash or playing fetch with their owners! Although partially wildcat, Savannahs have fully domesticated personalities, are incredibly loving, and great with children and other animals, making them wonderful pets. The Savannah Cat Shoppe opened its doors for business on Sept. 24 and is located in the lower level of Flower Hill Promenade, across from Paradise Grille’s outdoor patio. The shop features a large, enclosed glass habitat where cat lovers can come in and watch the kittens play. Usually, a fully-grown adult cat can also be found sprawled across the desk for visitors to pet and interact with. In October, the shop will hold a grand opening celebration where “Scarlett’s Magic,” a Savannah cat, and Guinness Book of World Records “World’s Tallest Cat”, will make a celebrity appearance. Check flowerhill.com’s event calendar to stay updated on the date of the grand opening. The shop is open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, noon-5 p.m. on Sundays. More information can be found on their website at savannahcatshop.com and the shop can be reached at (800) 881-0006.
Are you a writer who sets aside time each day to write? An aspiring author who has not yet found your writing groove? Someone with a manuscript you want in front of agents instead of in the slush pile? Or an author strongly considering which avenue of publication suits you and your book? Are you confused by all the publishing options offered to you and looking to learn more about the publishing industry? Wonder how to get the word out once your book is published. Then the La Jolla Writers Conference is for you. The number of books published each year has grown dramatically; the number of publishing options has expanded; and writers need to know more than ever about the publishing industry. Kicking off its second decade Nov. 4-6 at the Paradise Point Resort & Spa, the La Jolla Writers Conference of San Diego provides that knowledge. Covering the art, craft, and business of writing, the LJWC focuses equally on fiction
and non-fiction, carefully choosing its faculty for their success in their fields, the depth of their knowledge, their ability to impart that knowledge, and their generosity in doing so. With multiple New York Times bestselling authors, literary agents, noted editors, creative experts and industry experts, the LJWC faculty is renowned for its accessibility. Limited to 200 attendees, the conference offers a 1 to 6 faculty/attendee ratio. With more than 75 classes offered during the three-day event. Rather than sit on panels, the keynote speakers and agents teach classes in which your work gets directly exposed to them. Editors and publishers do the same. If you are serious about your writing, want to hone your craft while learning about the publishing industry and the options open to you, and if you want to become part of an ongoing writing community, check out the La Jolla Writers Conference at www.lajollawritersconference.com or call 858-467-1978.

The fruits of his labor Carruth’s philanthropic efforts highlighted by upcoming community mosaic event
BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Adam Carruth has pretty well mastered the art of making wine. Now he’s added a new achievement to his repertoire — making change. The owner of Carruth
Cellars Winery on Cedros is constantly giving — holding fundraisers, contributing auction items, donating proceeds — you name it. “I can’t even keep track of all the organizations we give to,” he said, adding jok-

Carruth’s “Save the Ocean” wines, labeled with artist Mark Patterson’s iconic Surfing Madonna, have been a hit. He’s held events to promote the cause, and he even donates $1.75 from each bottle sale to the Surfing Madonna. At least every month it seems like there’s something charitable happening at the cellars. Last September, he gave 25 percent of sales one day to Community Interface Services, which assists people with developmental disabilities. In February, he donated a portion to the Lois Merrill Foundation, which assists carcinoid cancer patients, and in March, he donated 20 percent from a similar event to the Lymphoma Society. These are only a few events on the long list of causes Carruth has become involved in.
Owner Adam Carruth works on winemaking while Andy Wilson gives guests Jackie Campos and Ro Hall a tasting. Coming up later this month, Carruth has a new fundraising idea up his sleeve, and it’s interactive. From Oct. 18 to 22, Carruth will be making a special blend of art, music, wine and inspiration. Carruth will be welcoming internationally recognized mosaic artist Laurel True, of New Orleans, to the cellar to create an installation on the winery’s exterior, and guests will be able get their hands on cement and tiles too. The five-day project will feature a guest artist lecture and wine tasting on Oct. 21. The installation with be
the first of True’s many-tocome works in the “The Global Mosaic Project.” Carruth described the event as “Tom Sawyer-esque” (think: painting fences). “Things should be like that more often,” he said. “Winemaking is like that too. Everyone’s into wine and a lot of people want to learn and get involved.” Toni Tschann, development director for the North Coast Repertory Theatre, can attest to Carruth’s charitable virtues — the Rep is one of his biggest donation recipients. He gives at least two cases of
wine i per show, h iin addition ddi i to items for other events. “It’s so great we can save our hard-earned money for our productions, so we can give more to our patrons,” she said. “Adam is always there for us. He’s been so forthcoming.” Carruth said at least five days a week he gets calls about new philanthropic opportunities. “I didn’t get into this business to give away wine, and I can’t all the time,” he said. “But I get so many requests. I feel good about it, and it’s hard to say no.”

La Jolla Music Society adds some spice to its new season
tion with a Venetian baroque chamber music ensemble, but I promise you that Interpreti Veneziani is as thrilling as Kings of Salsa is hot.� For Beach, a highlight of Season 43 is the opportunity to present three great American orchestras: The Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. “It’s very rare that these orchestras will tour to the West Coast, much less all three of them,� Beach said. “We traditionally present European and Asian orchestras, but to have these three orchestras all in one season was irresistible.� This season, the society adds new energy to its lineup with performances by Herb Alpert and Lani Hall, and the Kings of Salsa. “Herb Alpert is popular
music, and Kings of Salsa is world music and dance, and this is expanding the La Jolla Music Society’s bringing the world to San Diego,� Beach said. “That’s the very essence of what we do.� Beach found it challenging to name his three “don’t miss� performances for the season. “Which of your three children do you love the most?� he asked. “I love Riccardo Muti, the music director and conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, so that’s pretty exciting,� Beach said. “I’m of an age where if you say Herb Alpert to me, I remember those Tijuana Brass songs, and although this won’t be Tijuana Brass, this will be Herb Alpert with his wife Lani Hall and a quartet, and I think that’s going to be a great show.� A highlight of every

season is the Winterfest Gala. This year’s March 2012 event will showcase German cabaret singer Ute Lemper paired with the string mastery of the Vogler Quartet. “Although tickets are available to everyone, gala tickets are $1,000, which includes not only the concert, but dinner and cocktails at Anthology,� Beach said. �You rarely get to hear the music of Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel and Kurt Weil, especially by someone as extraordinary as she is, and Ute Lemper is the real thing.� Beach finds that the perfect venue is essential to every performance, whether that be dance, a piano recital, a chamber ensemble or an orchestra. After he moved to San Diego six years ago, he visited the city’s available theater venues and determined the best for each of the different disciplines the society presents. “I then focus on scheduling the performances so that all of piano recitals happen in Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Friday nights, and all the dance happens at North Park on Saturday nights, and all the chamber music happens at Sherwood on Saturday night,� he said. As for future seasons, Beach said he’d love to present world-renowned pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Martha Argerich and expand the society’s dance presentations.

BY MARTI GACIOCH Contributor The La Jolla Music Society’s Season 43 stands ready to dazzle the senses with its program of 26 virtuoso performances beginning in early November. Havana’s sizzling Kings of Salsa will kick off the 2011-‘12 program with a spirited music-and-dance performance of mambo, rumba and cha, cha, cha moves. The entertainment will continue throughout the season with performances from symphony orchestras, chamber music ensembles, pianists, modern dance groups (like the body-twisting, moves of shape-shifting Pilobolus), and a premier selection of pop, classical, cabaret and salsa music artists. Christopher Beach, the society’s president and artistic director, chose to once again open the season with a high-voltage world music performance. “For the first time last year, we began presenting world music and dance with the Koto drummers of Japan,� he said. “It was immensely successful, and the Kings of Salsa is a big, festive high-energy, hot show — another great season opener.� According to Beach, the society actually has two openings this season. “We also have the opening of the Revelle Chamber Music series, and that’s the first La Jolla concert,� Beach said. “Then we go in what you would think was just the opposite direc-

New Bronowski forum offers ‘music and science at the margins’ BY RON NEWBY Contributor An evening of improvisational conversation between David Borgo, jazz musician (and much more) and James Fowler, expert on social networks (and much more), will take place at the fall Bronowski Art & Science Forum, 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13 at The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr. The two UCSD professors will weigh-in on the

leased seven CDs and one DVD, and has toured internationally. In 2006, his book “Sync or Swarm: Improvising Music in a Complex Age,� was awarded the Alan Merriam Prize from the Society for Ethnomusicology as the most distinguished book in the field. Borgo currently performs with his electroacoustic duo KaiBorg, which explores the intersections between live au-
dio and video processing and free improvisation, and with his sextet Kronomorfic, which explores polymetric time. He will perform a short Jazz composition on his saxophone at the event. Fowler’s areas of research are social networks, behavioral economics, evolutionary game theory, political participation, cooperation, and genopolitics (the study of the genetic basis of political be-

Radiation mitigation with fork and spoon CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor Feeling tired and depleted? You’re not alone. There seems to be a communal fatigue kicking our booties these days. Sure, stress can be a culprit, along with the change in seasons, but many health practitioners (both Eastern and Western) believe that we are being bombarded with assorted sources of radiation -— air travel, X-rays, including mammograms, and now, especially on the West Coast, the fallout from Japan’s nuclear disaster delivered via oceanic winds off the Pacific. To help combat the effects of radiation and hopefully, recharge your batteries while enlivening and expanding your tastebud horizons, consider these foods. Treasures of the Sea Before you kibosh sea veggies like seaweed, you’re probably chowing down on them already. Processed seaweed is used as a stabilizer and thickener in a variety of packaged foods. But seaweed is best in its pristine, green form, serving up a motherload of phytonutrients such as carotene, folate, calcium, potassium, iron, Vitamins E and K and zinc. It is a mighty warrior linked to detoxifying the thyroid, which seems to be the body’s receptor of radiation. Agar agar is a seaweed derivative that makes a great vegan-substitute for gelatin or thickeners for sauces, stews and gravies. Kelp, a brown seaweed, is not only great for thyroid stimulation and cleansing, but for weight-loss and maintaining a healthy complexion. Whip up a citrus marinated kelp, quinoa and kale salad, toss some soba noodles with kelp, or blend kelp powder in your cookie or cake recipes. Nori is probably the most familiar seaweed product in Western culinary circles. It is a dark purplish hue, but when toasted morphs into hunter green, and is sold in thin, dried sheets used for rolling sushi, shredded into soups, or seasoned and munched like a healthy potato chip. Give White Rice the Shaft Unlike its refined white rice cousin that has been stripped of many nutritional layers, brown rice has been minimally disrobed with only the outer layer or hull removed. So it’s loaded with fiber and nutrients including omega fatty acids, Vitamins K and B6, calcium, potassium, manganese and selenium. A cup of brown rice will fortify you with a boost of energy and protein, synthesize fatty acids, keeping the nerves in check, and its high fiber content helps to

detoxify, too. Concoct brown rice sushi, coconut rice pudding, veggie fried rice or steamed as a side for your favorite chicken or fish dish. The Beet Goes on This super veggie (including its bulbous root, ruby juices and leafy green tops) has been recognized since Hippocrates’ day for its detoxifying powers, cleansing the blood and colon, and protecting the liver and bile ducts. Packed with phosphorous, potassium, Vitamins A and C, fiber and folic acid for the production and maintenance of cells, this dessert delicious vegetable can be eaten cold or hot as a borscht topped with probioitc yoghurt, tossed in a vinaigrette salad, roasted with a drizzle of truffle oil, or shredded with grains and other roots for a divine veggie burger. Apples are Top Banana Apples are loaded with fiber, potassium and antioxidants, especially quercetin high in the Red Delicious, Northern Spy and Ida Red varieties that clobber free radicals. Apples also contain flavonoids with antiallergic, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, and have the richest source of pectin of all the fruits, apricots a close second. Pectin contained in the primary cell walls of land dwelling plants is king when it comes to detoxifying the body. So “an apple a day does keep the doctor away,” as J.T. Stinson professed. Other nutritional radiation busters include broccoli, leafy greens, miso, pumpkin, rosemary, ginger, alfalfa sprouts, spirulina, onions, garlic and olive oil. But with a bumper crop of apples headed our way, here’s a delightful way to detox. For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or check out FreeRangeClub.com. APPLE GAZPACHO 2 Persian cucumbers, chopped 2 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped 3 medium-sized tomatillos, chopped 1 cup of green seedless grapes 1 cup of toasted pecans, or nuts of your choice, chopped 1 cup of plain or kefir yoghurt 1 cup of unfiltered apple juice 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar Sea salt to taste Set aside half of the cucumber and apple. Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well blended. Add the remaining apple and cucumber. Chill and ladle into martini glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Sacred Craft surf expo at fairgrounds taking shape BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Contributor Surfers and the people who love them as well as anyone curious about the whole romance with the sport can flock to the Del Mar Fairgrounds this weekend for the Sacred Craft Consumer Surfboard Expo. The expo is unique as a surfing tradeshow in California open to the public and dedicated solely to the manufacturing, design and art of the surfboard. For Scott Bass, executive director of Sacred Craft and a Del Mar native son, the show’s exclusive focus is logical. Strip the fashion, fads and frivolity from surfing and you’re left with one item: the surfboard. Remove the board from surfing and you’re left with swimming. “You’re not a surfer unless you care about the surfboard,” he said. “We want to create a place where the surfboard can be celebrated. Surfers only care about two things: waves and the equipment they ride them with. Everything else is BS and secondary.” Sacred Craft will include 145 exhibitors, the most ever, Bass noted. Of those, about 70 percent are board manufacturers and shapers, with the remaining portion offering supporting goods such as wetsuits, fin manufacturers and such. Attendees can stroll among the booths to see the latest designs and innovations, and of course, purchase a custom-built surfboard, Bass said. In addition, they can watch presentations of surfboard shaping by the area’s top professionals. What people won’t be able to do is find cheap, mass-produced boards or the innumerable racks of merchandise and other extraneous accessories that dominate, not only most of today’s surf shops, but the entire $40 billion surfing industry, he added. “Sacred Craft was started in 2007 as a way for local shapers to have a place to show their wares, because a lot of surf shops weren’t car-

rying boards by the local shaper, which in my opinion, is the lifeblood of the (surf) culture,” Bass said. “I wanted to create a situation where people could talk to the shaper and manufacturer one-on-one as opposed to going to a surf shop and talking to an 18-year-old girl who wants to sell you sandals.” Among the highlights of the two-day expo will be an Art of Shaping auction, an Art Grotto of about 20 top surfboard artists, an eco-friendly Sustainable Craft showcase and demo rides on the cutting edge surfboards. In addition, attendees can bring in their old surfboards on Saturday, Oct. 8, to be appraised by experts in a manner similar to television’s “Antique Road Show.” “[The appraisers] give insight on it and some history,” Bass said. “A lot of people are sitting on buried treasures. It’s a lot of fun.” The food, beer and music that are indispensable to surf culture will also be plentiful, he added. The event is designed to be family-friendly and will offer items such as concerts, Korduroy TV short videos lounge, and a longboard skate zone as well as competition that kids can enjoy. “Any 10-year-old would be stoked,” he said. “Next door will be another exposition on gourmet food and wine. So the husband can check out the boards while the wife goes to that, or vice versa.”

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
The expo’s coup de grace is the Tribute to the Masters Shape-off, in which six shapers have an hour and a half to create their own surfboard based on the design of an acknowledged master for a grand prize of $1,000. This year’s honoree is Carl Ekstrom, who invented and patented the asymmetrical surfboard in 1967 and will also be one of the three judges. Currently residing in Rancho Santa Fe, the 70-year-old Ekstrom was raised in La Jolla and was an integral part of the WindanSea Surf Club. Based on his expertise using the specific materials in surfboards, Ekstrom also helped design automobile components, medical machines and military helmets, as well as the surf wave machine. “In the Shape-off, the shapers are all bringing their own concepts of asymmetry,” Ekstrom said. “It’s a whole new way to express their passions. I’ve always viewed shapers as fine artists.” Tim Bessell of La Jolla is one of the six competitors in the Shape-off and said he has shaped about 48,000,
Carl Ekstrom mostly high-end, surfboards since he started in 1971 at age 13. Owner of 100 Percent, a surfboard company and art gallery in La Jolla for the past 25 years, Bessell will also have a booth for his new company Nomad Mobily Furniture, which fabricates furniture out of surfboard material. “I eat, dream, sleep and sweat surfboards,” Bessell said. “Surfboards are either art forms or commodities. China came in and destroyed surfboard manufacturing in the U.S. Now, 80 percent of the surfboard market is some cheap ripoff.” Ekstrom agrees and relishes that Sacred Craft focuses on shapers and manufacturers from San Diego and Southern California. To Ekstrom and those involved with the show, surfing in Southern California on a surfboard made elsewhere is akin to driving a Korean car in Detroit or drinking Argentine wine in Napa Valley. It might not be bad, but it just doesn’t seem right. Ekstrom believes the time is ripe for a renaissance in the local industry and that Sacred Craft is paving the way. “This show is looking more toward the future than the past,” he said. “You think you’ve seen it all but you haven’t. It just keeps going. They’re doing new things on waves and they should have new equipment to do what they want to do.”

Joseph and Diane Sampson of Sampson California Realty recently had the privilege of spending the day with the San Diego Police. Escorted by Assistant Police Chief Robert Kanaski, Joseph and Diane toured the weapons supply room, received a canine unit demonstration and went on a Diane and Joseph Sampson on the police ride along. private, two-hour helicopter ride along. “Assistant Police Chief Kanaski and his team are so passionate and dedicated. It was really impressive to see how hard they work to serve our San Diego community,” said Joseph. Joseph and Diane won the day with San Diego police through a charity auction. They were honored to spend the day with the San Diego Police. The police helicopter ride along “was the highlight of the day,” said Diane. “In the
two hours we were in the helicopter, the police assisted with a car break in, a car chase and an assault and robbery. It was amazing to watch the SDPD in action.” One of the most impressive parts of their tour was the police canine unit. Joseph and Diane were given a private demonstration of the police dogs finding hidden drugs in a car. Diane was impressed at how well “the dogs could sniff out the drugs no matter how well they were hidden.” The tour “exceeded our expectations”, said Joseph and Diane. “We have always supported the San Diego Police Department, but this tour gave us a first-hand look at the dedication, passion and commitment of the SDPD.” Sampson California Reality specializes in residential real estate sales in Carmel Valley and Coastal properties.

ROAD continued from page B1 planes in Russia where he’s flown on planes with patches and no tread on the wheels. The longest he’s ever been on a vacation was an entire year in 1978—he spent six months in Asia and six in Africa, his two favorite continents. Altaffer’s love of travel started young, inherited from his parents. He grew up in Hollywood and his dentist father had a passion for taking family trips every summer. They took every possible cruise ship until they ran out of cruise ships to take. In the 1970s, he was hired by Hemphill-Harris Travel and led trips around the world. “Every time I took a tour to a place I hadn’t been, I’d take the money from the trip and stay overseas a month or more and see more places,” he said. Altaffer has been a longtime level 3 Alpine ski instructor and worked as a ski instructor on Mammoth Mountain for many years. He also taught history and geography at Mammoth High and can authoritatively say that Mammoth has the best snow in the world as he’s skied 120 areas around the globe (St. Moritz in Switzerland has the best ski area, he said). He had joined the Traveler’s Century Club in 1974 when there were only 130 countries in the world and he’d been to 100—he completed the list of 320 countries a year ago. Altaffer travels a bit less now, down to about three trips a year as his children are 10 and 14 years old. He met his wife on one of his travels to China 20 years ago—she “Shanghaied me,” he jokes. “I chose to live in San Diego because it’s a great place to live, it has terrific schools for my kids and it’s a nice place to come home to,” said Altaffer. Last September he took what he considers one of his very best trips ever to “the five Stans”: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. The overland trip was not one for “inexperienced wimps,” as he and his traveling companions were often roughing it in extreme conditions. “We are not a crowd that goes from Four Seasons to Four Seasons,” said Altaffer, who described the conditions as “often uncomfortable, the food was occasionally inadequate, the conditions extremely basic, but it was magical.” At one point they traveled with seven people crammed into a four-person Russian jeep with all their luggage. Altaffer described this part of the trip, along the Pamir Highway, as breathtaking and impossible to describe.
October 6, 2011 Altaffer remains at the top of the list for the person who has visited the most World Heritage sites. Altaffer has visited Heritage sites such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, churches in Bulgaria, the rainforest in Madagascar, national parks in Iceland and Tunisia, and ruins in Nicaragua. Some countries don’t have any World Heritage sites and some, Altaffer feels, are given to countries for political purposes, as they aren’t terribly interesting, like a cave he saw in Kyrgyzstan. “I’m 100 sites ahead of the closest person, some of these sites, I think, have more value than just visiting countries,” Altaffer said. Altaffer’s latest World Heritage visit was in September to Mount Athos in Greece, an Orthodox spiritual center since 1054, that is home to 20 monasteries and inhabited by some 1,400 monks. Altaffer had been trying to get to Mount Athos for several years—it takes a few months to get permission to visit and women are not allowed in. It is “majestic” with its medieval castle-like exteriors and wall paintings, icons and illuminated manuscripts inside, but Altaffer said it is a very rough experience. There are no mirrors, no showers and you travel on dusty pathways by van and truck between monasteries. “It’s very quiet and restful, very little noise,” said Altaffer who noted he was one of about 30 people there on a pilgrimage. Many come for religious purposes, others are travelers—the spot is said to be a favorite spiritual retreat of Prince Charles’. The trip to Mount Athos was part of a month-long journey where Altaffer also visited Caucasus, Belarus and Crimea. People have encouraged Altaffer to become rivals with the world’s most traveled man, Charles Veley, who has visited 822, or 94 percent, of the 872 distinct territories of the world. They have different traveling styles, he said. While Veley went to Socotra, an archipelago off Somalia that belongs to Yemen, for about two hours and then was back on a plane the same day, Altaffer spent two weeks camping in the “unreal” spot, home to dragon trees, which grow upside down. Becoming a “Ticker” or “Touch and Go” person is not why Altaffer travels. He doesn’t do it to check off places on the list, he wants to learn about cultures and see all there is to see. Altaffer said he greatly respects Veley for creating MostTraveledPeople.com and its list of 872 territories. Altaffer is just six places behind Veley and, of his 56 remaining spots, he would like to visit the Torres Strait Islands near Australia and Admiralty Islands in the South Pacific but admits there are some on the list he has no desire to go to. He is much more interested in completing the World Heritage Site list—just 204 sites left. Of course, there’s always the list that includes all the states in every country in the world, one that includes every county in the world, one with places only accessible by submarine and the possibility of space travel—but there are some borders Altaffer will not cross. “I have my limits,” he said.
