New green project in CV raises concerns BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Eight new houses planned for the last available lot in one Carmel Valley neighborhood are stirring up concerns from surrounding residents. About 21 neighbors showed up to share their issues with the project at the

Ag. board votes to extend SD Fair run BY CLAIRE HARLIN STAFF WRITER The 22nd District Agricultural Association board voted Oct. 11 unanimously in support of adding two additional days to the 2011 San Diego County Fair, after assuring concerned city officials from Solana Beach and Del Mar that there will be new strides in mitigating increased fair traffic. Record-breaking attendance at the past three fairs prompted fair organizers to propose the increase from 22 to 24 days, citing population growth, positive economic impact and creation of jobs. Prior to the fair board meeting, fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell and board member David Watson met with local officials, including Del Mar Mayor See FAIR, Page 14

BY JOE TASH Contributor Police and fire agencies from La Jolla to Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe are working to maintain or even improve emergency response times in the face of challenges such as increased traffic congestion and tight local government budgets. Although clogged roads can impede emergency responders, innovations in technology and cooperative agreements between agencies can help them reach people faster, officials said. In the city of San Diego, whose jurisdiction includes La Jolla and Carmel Valley, the Fire-Rescue Department said response times, are expected to decrease after “rolling

brownouts” — in which staffing was reduced across the city for budget reasons — ended on July 1. San Diego Fire Chief Javier Mainar said See RESPONSE, Page 6

Special meeting on Del Mar Mesa Carmel Mountain on ramp to Preserve trails plan to be held Oct. 19 be closed during repair

Carmel Valley area crimes and arrests in September

The Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve Citizens Advisory Committee will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 19, on the Del Mar Mesa Preserve/Carmel Mountain Resource Management Plan. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Park Village Elementary School and the group plans to hear community input before making its final vote on the plan. The most controversial part of the plan has been the trails map—numerous popular, yet illegal, trails have been closed by the city while the plan has been in the works for the last three years. The new plan has some of those trails closed for good, others have been allowed for recreational use by the resource agencies that own the land, the California Department of Fish and Game, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board gave its conditional approval to the trail plan in July, with the request that an east-west connection be made. After the CAC weighs in, the San Diego City Council will have the final say on the plan. Park Village, where the meeting will be held, is located at 7930 Park Village Road. — Karen Billing

Candidates wanted for two vacancies on Torrey Hills planning board The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board has two vacancies. One vacancy is for a resident of Torrey Hills and another for a resident of Carmel Valley South (the area of Carmel Valley that is south of the 56). Interested candidates should contact Kathryn Burton, chair of the planning board, at 858-755-2128.

The Carmel Mountain Road westbound on-ramp to Interstate-5 will be closed during construction of the flooded on-ramp. According to Caltrans’ traffic control plan, beginning at El Camino Real only the two right lanes will be open to traffic, although motorists will be able to access the two leftturn lanes at Torrey View Court. The two center lanes will be closed until the final completion of the ramp repairs. Work was scheduled to begin Oct. 10 and could take up to 60 days to complete. — Karen Billing

Author brings his vision of the ‘Golden State’ to local event BY MATT LIEBOWITZ Contributor California. The name means millions of different things to millions of different people. To the four main characters in author David Prybil’s darkly humorous and touching first novel, “Golden State,” it’s the home, or supposed home, of the American Dream where, as Prybil says, “hope springs eternal” no matter what unexpected hardships they endure. “It’s the Oz at the end of the yellow brick road, where people think anything is possible,” Prybil said. Set against the backdrop of the 2003 California gubernatorial election, Golden State, which Prybil will read from on Friday, Oct. 14, at the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild’s Fall Author Talk Series, follows the lives of two men and two women who stake their dreams, and their livelihoods on the change and renewed hope they believe Arnold Schwarzenegger will bring to Sacramento. Prybil is careful not to give too much of this fastpaced and engrossing story

away, but he says that the characters, in striving towards their “misbegotten dreams” and goals, “don’t necessarily achieve them,” but that, despite their flaws and their skewed ambitions, “they achieve something.” About the characters, whose lives and dreams intertwine amidst the election: There’s realtor Missy Carver, working to find the new dream home for the governor and his wife; depressed news reporter Spencer Brine, working up the ranks at the Sacramento Bee; former local high school sports star Todd Tisdale who hopes to befriend

Schwarzenegger in order to save his failing tuxedo shop; and tanning salon employee Rowena Pickett, desperate for love. Prybil chose the 2003 election, a brief but bizarre period in our (recent) history, because it serves as a perfect template upon which he could explore the philosophical underpinnings of the American Dream, and what keeps people “still chugging towards it.” Following Gray Davis’ term, Prybil said, “it was just crazy. There were no rules. Nobody had ever seen anything like it.” About Schwarzenegger’s election, he said, “It was such a bizarre, unprecedented thing — it was like a reality show.” Schwarzenegger, who announced his candidacy on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and, two months later, won the governor’s seat, was a fascinating example of ambition and achievement and all the things the American Dream promises. “People saw Schwarzenegger, who had no qualifications for the job, win, and they thought, ‘My

David Prybil dreams can come true,’” Prybil said. Could anything as unusual and groundbreaking as the election that frames his novel happen again? “Truth is always stranger than fiction,” Prybil said. “I wouldn’t put it past this state for a second.” In some ways, Prybil’s own life is a version of the same American Dream that spurs his characters along. Prybil grew up “everywhere but California,” including Massachusetts, Virginia, Florida, Michigan and Iowa. After high school in Richmond, Va., he went to college at the University of Michigan and then earned his JD and MBA at Indiana University. But it was a production

assistant job on the set of the 1992 film “A League of Their Own” — a “big movie with big stars,” he called it — that set the course for Prybil’s own Hollywood career. His responsibilities at the time, (he was 23) including scouting antique stores for director Penny Marshall, finding private golf courses for the producers to play on Sundays, and building stadiums and costuming thousands of extras on sets in Indiana, Kentucky and Cooperstown, N.Y. “It was like being part of a traveling circus,” Prybil said of the film. The experience lit a fire that is still burning: He moved to Los Angeles in 1994, passed the bar — though he said “I knew I wasn’t going to practice law” — and eventually worked his way up the ranks at Paramount studios, from reader to story editor to director of development. Golden State incorporates the knowledge Prybil’s gained from 15 years of working in the entertainment business — “I spent years with a Sisyphean stack of screenplays,” he

said — as well as an admiration for the storytelling techniques director Paul Thomas Anderson employed in “Magnolia” and those used by Robert Altman in the 1975 film “Nashville.” And while there’s more than a bit of absurdity surrounding the real-life events that make up Golden State, Prybil is in no hurry to leave his home state. “I can’t imagine living anywhere else.” In fact, Prybil is already at work on the follow-up to Golden State, titled “The Works.” Set in Orange County, the novel will again explore the American Dream as seen through three very different sets of eyes: An Internet billionaire building his dream estate overlooking the ocean; the contractor hired for the project; and an illegal immigrant working on the massive job. The RSF Library Guild’s Fall Author Talk Series is this Friday (Oct 14) at 6 p.m. To make a reservation (and receive the event address), call the Guild office at (858) 756-4780 or email: rsflibraryguild@gmail.com.

RESPONSE continued from page 1 that prior to the brownouts, the Fire-Rescue Department responded to emergency calls within 5 minutes 54 percent of the time. He said the department expects to return to that level of service now that the rolling brownouts have ended. The most recent statistics from fiscal year 2010 show average responses ranging from 5 minutes and 16 seconds (5:16) to 6:33 in La Jolla and from 6:18 to 7:35 in Carmel Valley. (See chart for station-by-station times.) According to Mainar, there are three components to response times by firefighters: first, the time it takes for dispatchers to receive the call and assign it to firefighters; second, the time it takes firefighters to stop what they are doing, put on the appropriate gear and roll out the door; and third, the driving time to the call. “We really have to get all of those pieces right to do a good job,” he said. National Response Standard The National Fire Protection Association has established a standard of a first-

unit response to emergency calls within six minutes of the call being placed, 90 percent of the time. According to an NFPA document, the total of six minutes includes one minute for dispatchers to process the call, one minute of “turnout” time and four minutes of travel time. Officials said the NFPA standard is a guideline, rather than a mandate for fire response times. Actual response times by fire departments can depend on many factors, such as the location and placement of fire stations, road and traffic conditions in a community and fire department staffing levels. In order for San Diego to move closer to the six-minute response-time goal, 10 new fire stations and nine roving “fast response teams” of two firefighters each are needed, according to a city-commissioned study by Citygate Associates LLC which came out in February. “At the city’s desired firefighting response time performance measures, there are just not enough fire crews and stations in all areas,” said the report. “It starts by the community identifying what they want the outcome to be,” said Mainar. “You tell us what

Average response time for Priority 2 calls was 16:42. (Priority 1 includes such categories as serious accident and SWAT alert; Priority 2 includes a variety of calls including robbery, vehicle theft and burglary.) Statistics represent average response times for a 12-month period, although the specific period covered varies slightly between agencies.

you want us to accomplish, the fire department, the police department, we’ll tell you the resource levels we need to do that.” Part of the challenge, said Mainar, is that as the city has grown, it has spaced fire stations farther apart. Communities north of Interstate 8, including La Jolla and Carmel Valley, have longer response times, because they have fewer fire stations and more distance between stations. Response times are faster south of I-8, he said, because more stations were built closer together, he said, Working Together In North County, cooperation between four different fire departments serving Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas has helped keep response times level, when otherwise they might have risen due to increased population, said Darrin Ward, deputy chief of operations for the four agencies. Among the cooperative agreements between the departments is sharing battalion chiefs and consolidating management functions such as finance, training and administration. Beyond the four departments, agencies across North County have combined their dispatch centers, and adopted a policy of boundary drops, meaning the closest unit will respond to a fire or medical emergency, no matter where the emergency occurs or which agency the unit belongs to. “We don’t have city borders like we had 23 years ago when I started,” Ward said. “Even though we’re not one county fire department, the guys on the floor, they act like it…. The closest one to a call goes.” Computer-assisted dis-

patching systems have also helped keep response times as low as possible, Ward said. For example, computers have store data for three years’ worth of calls, which the system uses to predict activity during periods of high call volumes, allowing units to be stationed most efficiently. “It’s kept (response times) steady. With increasing demands on the system, technology and agreements made by the North County fire chiefs… we are finding ways and making agreements to keep things leveled off,” Ward said. Geography also plays a part in response times, he said. Rancho Santa Fe tends to have longer response times because each station covers 9.4 square miles. The entire city of Del Mar is just 2 square miles in area, while Solana Beach covers 3.6 square miles. Overall, Rancho Santa Fe has a lower call volume than more urbanized areas, and is mostly residential, while in contrast the cities have more commercial areas and taller buildings, Ward said. Getting police to emergencies Capt. Al Guaderrama, who heads the San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division, which includes La Jolla, University City, Clairemont, Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, said the average response time for emergency calls in his division is between 7 and 7:30 minutes — a statistic that has held steady in recent years. Break out police calls in La Jolla and you get a slower response of 9:02, according to department statistics. In 2010, the citywide average police response time for emergency calls was 6:30 minutes, said Capt. Lori Luh-

now, of Northwestern Division, which includes Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights and North City and other areas. Carmel Valley —at an average of 6:46 — is right in line with the citywide figure. The community had the lowest call volume among the city’s nine divisions, Lunhow noted. In the incorporated cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, which contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for police services, responses came more quickly: averaging 4 minutes in Solana Beach and 4:36 in Del Mar. Rancho Santa Fe also utilizes sheriff’s services for emergencies, but uses CHP for traffic, so comparable times aren’t available. However, the community’s response time for calls such as robbery, vehicle theft and burglary came in at 16:42. According to John Firman, director of research with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the group does not have guidelines for police response times due to two factors: the significant differences between 18,000 police agencies across the United States, and the many variables that go into how police respond to emergencies, and how quickly they respond, such as their vehicles, equipment, staffing, number of calls, type of calls, geography, terrain, etc. “Our position is this is a uniquely local number based on the satisfaction of police and their citizens,” Firman said. Impact of Traffic and Road Conditions Traffic is one of the key factors that affect response times, especially during morning and afternoon rush hours, Guaderrama said. The layout of a neighborhood’s roads can also have an

impact. Detective Gary Hassen, a San Diego police spokesman, said average response times in La Jolla are higher than in Carmel Valley, and part of the reason is that La Jolla is an older community, with daily traffic bottlenecks at its major entrance and exit points. “There’s significant geographical barriers you have to deal with, and traffic congestion,” he said. “That’s why some communities have faster response times than others.” The Public Can Help Authorities can do their part to reduce response times, but there are some things residents can do as well. With the proliferation of cell phones, many people grab their cell phone to make a 9-1-1 emergency call, even when a landline is nearby, said Ward. But a landline call can often be dispatched more quickly, because the caller’s address is displayed on the dispatcher’s monitor and does not have to be typed in. “If you’re in a home or business and there is a regular phone, use that phone,” Ward said. “It’s quicker for them to get the guys or gals rolling to your house.” Another thing people can do is to pull over when a fire truck, ambulance or police car approaches from behind with its lights and siren on, officials said. “If you see that patrol car with its lights and siren, we’re going to need you to pull over to the right shoulder,” Northern Division’s Guaderrama said. Another way residents can help police respond more quickly to emergencies is to use the department’s nonemergency line, (619) 5312000, or website to report thefts and other less serious crimes, Luhnow said. “If they use those services, it’s quicker for them and it doesn’t tie up an officer to come take a report, leaving them more available for proactive work or emergency calls,” she added. Crime Rate in Decline Budget cuts have challenged police managers to do more with less in recent years, but favorable crime trends have helped — a report issued earlier this year by the San Diego Association of Governments noted that crime in San Diego County hit a 30year low in 2010, at 3.61 violent crimes and 21.04 property crimes per 1,000 residents. In spite of the downward trend in crime statistics, police seem to be keeping as busy as ever, said Capt. Sherri Sarro of the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station, crime-fighting headquarters for Encinitas, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach. “Even though crime is down, it doesn’t mean calls for service are down,” Sarro said. “I think overall, we’re still doing what the public expects of us, and using our deputies in the best way we can,” she said.

Local native’s line of leather handbags a hit BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor A purse party at the ocean-front home of Del Mar’s Jenny Craig on Oct. 2 brought together friends, family and neighbors. The purses were part of a premier collection designed by Craig’s granddaughter, Sydney Weinger, who debuted her line of leather handbags — manufactured under her Morton & Hudson label — at the event. The collection sold out. Weinger, 24, a former local resident, moved to New York two years ago – after she graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in advertising – to study fashion design at Parsons New School of Design, she said. She graduated with an associate’s degree in fashion design, but unlike her student peers, who struggled to get employment in a depressed market, Weinger took a page out of her family’s book and took on the role of entrepreneur. Her father, Duayne Weinger, owns the San Diego County franchise Hollywood Tans, and her grandmother, Jenny Craig, is famed for her weight loss centers. At Parsons, Weinger took an accessory class. “That’s when I got really

weight and easy to pack and I didn’t use any hardware or branding, I wanted the leather to speak for itself.” A bicoastal product – the line sells in San Diego and New York – it was important that the designs fit both climates. To accomplish this, Weinger utilizes the highest quality Italian leather in natural tones, such as moss green, ash grey, tan and merlot. Inspired by the Sydney Weinger with her energy in New York, grandmother, Jenny Craig. she has the purses excited about designing crafted in Los Angeles. “I handbags. The first one I really wanted to keep the designed was really well remanufacturing onshore, as ceived by my peers.

Currently there are three different styles offered in a variety of colors: The Village, a clutch named for Greenwich Village; The Marais, a shoulder bag named for an area of Paris; and The Kensington, an oversized envelope clutch, named for a district of London. Weinger expects to move back to Los Angeles as her business blossoms, although she says that New York is energizing and inspires her. The drive and ambition of her grandmother Jenny Craig, who has visited Weinger in New York to advise her, has helped Weinger move forward with confidence in her business. Weinger is currently creating a Holiday line available in November that includes totes, a satchel and more clutches. “I’m constantly thinking about what’s next,” she said.

‘Lead From the Heart,’ advises business expert in book BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Contributor When the Conference Board of New York in 2009 reported that only 45 percent of American workers were satisfied with their jobs, a continuous 22-year decline since the indicator was initiated, Mark Crowley decided to do something about it. For Crowley, who had spent the last 25 years professionally leading one successful team after another in retail banking and who has lived locally for the same period, the statistic made no sense, especially at a time when the highest priority for business is to get the most out of its precious resources. With the age-old axiom that “a happy worker is a productive one” in tow, Crowley penned a 137-page book, titled “Lead from the Heart,” to prove that simple changes in management style can matter more than money in propelling employees to the peak of performance and thereby maximizing a company’s bottom line. “More than half the people hate going to work,” Crowley said. “Their needs have changed and leader-

Meet Mark Crowley at a reception for his book, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9 at Riford Library. ship hasn’t. Leadership hasn’t identified what it takes to get people excited. “The information I’ve gathered, from my experience and scientific research, is a breakthrough for business and I don’t think business understands what I’ve learned. If they understood, they’d realize that this is the way to business nirvana.” The book’s premise is straightforward: A leader must listen to his/her heart, as much as his/her mind.

Employers who take into account the individual needs of workers on the job and who treat employees as human beings, instead of components of the operation, outperform their competitors in the market. Numerous studies from leading universities and research organizations substantiating the claim fill the pages. Yet Crowley acknowledges that his remedies face an uphill battle, not because of present practices, but past prescriptions. “I realized that (using) the heart was traditionally seen as being soft, sentimental, and the antithesis to success in business,” he said. “There’s an historical bias against it. Business doesn’t really operate that way. Yet the more I helped other people, the more successful I became ... people know this is the right thing. Most people tell me, I’m glad someone finally said it.” Crowley said he started writing in early 2009. About midway through the book, he wondered whether there was any scientific evidence to support his assertions that showed in the physiology of the human heart. However, Crowley got no responses from a number of

cardiologists to whom he had written. During a routine medical examination, Crowley said his doctor directed him toward Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder and director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla. To Crowley’s amazement, he discovered revolutionary research over the past 20 years, which indicates that the physical heart might have a form of cognizance that works in tandem with the brain to direct the body. “For 300 years, they didn’t believe the heart had any function except as a pump,” Crowley said. “I fell upon information that not only was unknown in business, but was generally not known by the public. It profoundly validated what I had to say.” Crowley completed the manuscript by March of this year and the book was released on Aug. 31. In the brief month and a half since its release, Crowley said interest has come from places as diverse as China, Russia, the United Kingdom and Japan. “The first CEO who responded to my book was someone in India asking if I would come and speak,”

‘Lead from the Heart: Transformational Leadership for the 21st Century’ by Mark Crowley, Balboa Press, 137 pages, 2011, www.markcrowley. com Crowley said. “The message is universal. This is something that anyone in any business, any organization, can adopt and immediately become effective.” A book launch party at the Riford Library in La Jolla was attended by more than 100 people, according to branch manager Catherine Greene. The event was so popular that a second will be held there on Wednesday, Nov. 9. “Leading and heart are not often in the same sentence,” Greene said. “That

kind of thinking is the most advanced, sophisticated and humane you’ll see, in my opinion. A lot of these popular self-help books [argue] that all these issues that consume our lives can be solved in seven or 10 steps. That’s pretty insulting to people. Or it ought to be.” With the book barely out of the gate, Crowley plans to augment his message with speaking engagements, consulting, and blogging at markcrowley.com. He said he can’t rest until the lessons of his life lead to a healthier, heartier, business environment. “It really became the fulfillment of my life to write this book,” he said. “This was the journey I was supposed to take. My ambition is to move this message and change the way we do things in America. I want to be the voice of that ... sooner or later, people are going to understand that you’ve got to bring heart into this. “If you open your mind to it, you’ll immediately have productive, loyal workers. You move pretty quickly once you accept it.” For more information, visit www.markcrowley.com

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS San Diego Children’s Choir gives youth an opportunity to develop their musical interests BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER San Diego Children’s Choir has been providing artistic and personal growth through music education for the last 20 years. The group has successfully united San Diego children in song across 130 school districts in the county, offering five rehearsal locations throughout San Diego (Del Mar, Rancho Bernardo, Mira Mesa, Hillcrest and Allied Gardens) with children coming together for performances. “Kids from all over San Diego, from all different socioeconomic levels, meet doing something they really love,” said Sandra Timmons, president of the SDCC Board of Directors. Additionally, SDCC has Neighborhood Choirs, fully supported by donations in under-served communities such as City Heights, Shelltown (southwest San Diego) and Nestor. The Neighborhood Choirs aim to serve children who don’t have music in their schools and whose families may not be able to afford instruments or lessons. “Choral music gives children access to music education with fewer barriers,” said Timmons. “You don’t need an instrument or lessons. Your instrument is your voice.” As schools everywhere face budget crunches, music education doesn’t always make the cut. “(Music) seems to be one of the first things schools make the tough decision of eliminating,” said Donna Icenhower, executive director. “SDCC gives children who are artistically or musically inclined an opportunity to grow their talent and their gift…It’s very important that children are exposed to the arts at a young age.” Timmons has been involved with SDCC for 16 years, since her daughter Allison joined the choir as soon as she was old enough. She tears up when she speaks about what

the choir can mean to children as she’s watched them sing and grow. “It just showed me how inspirational something like this can be for kids. It’s transformative,” said Timmons. “It can take a shy kid and turn them into someone who’s comfortable speaking or singing in front of a group of people. It can take a kid who lacks motivation, who’s struggling in school and give them the motivation and confidence to succeed.” San Diego Children’s Choir was founded in 1990 by Polly Campbell, with just 10 kids in a treble choir. As their voices changed and the children grew, more groups were added to SDCC: The Preparatory Ensemble for choristers in first and second grade; Intermediate Ensemble for grades 3-5; Concert Ensemble for grades 6-9; and Youth Ensemble for high school singers. The largest choir is the Intermediate level, which had 87 kids signed up The San Diego Children’s Choir helps give all youth an opportunity to develop their musical talents. last year. struggles in fundraising efforts.

Del Mar Mesa resident Gary Levitt of Seabreeze Properties. The Worsch home is still up there and will be removed. “We saw an opportunity that really applies a solution to development in a different way,” Levitt said. In an attempt to fit into the community with the least amount of disruption, Levitt’s plans include minimal grading to preserve the existing slopes, trees on the slopes and the retaining walls. Levitt is aiming for sustainable “new ideas of living.” Understanding that there is a market for homes for an aging population, Levitt said his design guidelines require that all master bedrooms be on the ground floor. The homes will be in an “L” shape with courtyards to give an indoor-outdoor architecture feel and allow people to live simply, utilizing natural sun and breezes. The development will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified with solar energy features and water-conserving landscape. “We don’t build homes so we created very detailed design guidelines and we’d require any builder to meet that commitment,” Levitt said. The eight homes will range from 6,000 square feet to 8,500 square feet and will be accessed up a driveway from Worsch Way. Some neighbors aren’t so sure about the new homes on the hill. In a neighborhood where streets are terraced one above the other, one resident who lives on San Andino Cove said the new development would destroy her view. Donna Kaiser said that she is able to look down now on a greenway with beautiful trees, home to owls and hawks. Putting eight houses there would completely change the view from her

home. “That lovely green property will be gone,” said Kaiser. Neighbors said the driveway servicing eight homes would be just like putting eight new homes on Worsch Way—they worried about overflow parking on the street, and garbage cans having to come down the hill. Levitt said he agreed that the parking issue is a valid concern, as is the garbage cans—he said the homes would probably have to a private trash pickup. “There’s no HOAs, no private drives in our neighborhood, this would be the only thing out of character,” said resident Chris Brown, adding that he thinks the project will also reduce their property values. Brown said as the project stands it is not minimally impacting the surrounding neighborhood as is Levitt’s stated goal, but instead is “The most intrusive.” Levitt said the alternative to being on the hill is bringing the homes down to street level, which would involve extensive grading— about 4,000 trips of trucks being driven through the neighborhood for three to four months. “It’s the wrong thing to do for the environment, the worst thing a developer can do is come in and reshape the land,” Levitt said. Their plan now is the most sensitive to the existing landscape, he said. A couple of residents agreed with his logic. “It’s actually refreshing that for once a developer wants to come in and leave the topography,” said a resident who asked not to be named. Karen Cody, one of the original homeowners in the area in 1985, said she thinks the property should be left the way it is, with residences on the hill and not on street level. “I don’t feel a row of houses there would be acceptable,” Cody said. “I like the approach they’ve taken.”

Steve Jobs: You will be missed BY MARK DAUGHTERS, INTERLACED INC. Steve Jobs passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 5. I wanted to thank him. I worked in Apple retail for several years. There were two big highlights for me. The first was eating lunch at a table next to Steve when I went up to Genius training. The second was having Steve forward a positive customer’s email about me to Ron Johnson (the head of Apple retail) with nothing more than a smiley face. Even though that is as close as I’ve gotten to Steve, I feel like I’ve lost a close family member. He has given the world a lot. Personally, I owe him greatly. My past and current jobs would not exist without Steve. Many of my favorite films are from Pixar, which also was created by his genius. Electronics, movies, and more would be very different or not exist if he hadn’t been behind them. Its hard to imagine how bland this world would be without his accomplishments. For me, it’s hard to imagine what my life would be without his work. Here is a great quote from Steve that has inspired me to make the most of my life: “Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” For those of you in a similar position in your company, here is a great story about Steve from Vic Gundorta who works at Google. Shows that even the CEO should pay attention to the minor details. “One Sunday morning, Jan. 6, 2008 I was attending religious services when my cell phone vibrated. As discreetly as possible, I checked the phone and noticed that my phone said “Caller ID unknown.” I choose to ignore. After services, as I was walking to my car with my family, I checked my cell phone messages. The message left was from Steve Jobs. “Vic, can you call me at home? I have something urgent to discuss,” it said. Before I even reached my car, I called would take less time to get to the fair by train, and she hopes fair organizers will work the idea of public transit into the fair’s theme. Del Mar Mayor Don Mosier spoke at the association’s Sept. 13 meeting, bringing concerns of increased traffic and street cleanup to the fair board’s attention. He said he, along with Councilman Mark Filanc, has met with fair officials twice in the last two weeks, and he is confident they will try to increase access to the fair via public

Steve Jobs back. I was responsible for all mobile applications at Google and, in that role, had regular dealings with Steve. It was one of the perks of the job. “Hey Steve — this is Vic”, I said. “I’m sorry I didn’t answer your call earlier. I was in religious services, and the caller ID said unknown, so I didn’t pick up.” Steve laughed. He said, “Vic, unless the Caller ID said ‘GOD’, you should never pick up during services”. I laughed nervously. After all, while it was customary for Steve to call during the week upset about something, it was unusual for him to call me on Sunday and ask me to call his home. I wondered what was so important? “So Vic, we have an urgent issue, one that I need addressed right away. I’ve already assigned someone from my team to help you, and I hope you can fix this tomorrow” said Steve. “I’ve been looking at the Google logo on the iPhone and I’m not happy with the icon. The second O in Google doesn’t have the right yellow gradient. It’s just wrong and I’m going to have Greg fix it tomorrow. Is that okay with you?” Of course this was okay with me. A few minutes later on that Sunday I received an email from Steve with the subject “Icon Ambulance.” The email directed me to work with Greg Christie to fix the icon. Since I was 11 years old and fell in love with an Apple II, I have dozens of stories to tell about Apple products. They have been a part of my life for decades. Even when I worked for 15 years for Bill Gates at Microsoft, I had a huge admiration for Steve and what Apple had produced. But in the end, when I think about leadership, passion and attention to detail, I think back to the call I received from Steve Jobs on a Sunday morning in January. It was a lesson I’ll never forget. CEOs should care about details. Even shades of yellow. On a Sunday. To one of the greatest leaders I’ve ever met, my prayers and hopes are with you Steve. —Vic” I’ll miss you Steve. Thanks for showing us all not to settle for what’s easy, and to focus on what your heart says is right.

transit and increased off-site parking. “It’s a situation we are monitoring,” he said. “I was assured they’d do their best.” At the fair board meeting, officials brought up several ideas to work with cities to mitigate traffic and increase business, but nothing was set in stone. Fairgrounds admission discounts to public transit riders, as well as discounts at local businesses for fair patrons, were among ideas suggested. Board member Ruben

Barrales said he’d like to see those ideas in writing as soon as next week, and Fennell said he would like to get the positive support of neighboring communities as soon as possible so the board can proceed with budgeting for the upcoming fair season. Board member David Watson said the conversations with Del Mar and Solana Beach leaders were both “productive and positive.”

Breast Cancer stories: Surviving breast cancer ‘as good as it gets’ Editor’s note: As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this newspaper is sharing several stories throughout the month about people who have survived the disease, as well as those working to improve their odds. Today we profile Ingrid Qua, who owns her own business with her husband, and Lisa Hinkley, who owns Green Flash Brewing Company with her husband Mike. A conversation with Ingrid Qua: 1. When were you diagnosed? I was diagnosed mid-September of 2010. 2.) What type of treatment did you receive? I went through a regiment of chemotherapy and Herceptin and was extremely lucky to be one of the last people accepted to take part of a clinical trial of Avastin. 3.) Was there any one person/thing/ routine that served as your rock during this time? If so, please describe. I had lost my mother, a world class triathlete (Barbara Warren) to a tragic accident two years prior. She had been in a triathlon and fell off her bicycle and broke her neck. She was paralyzed from her nose down, unable to speak but fully conscious. She decided to end her life after three days knowing chances of survival where slim. I was the one who told the doctors to turn off the machines and laid beside her as she passed away. Right before she slipped away, the impossible happened — she turned her head towards my sister and I and smiled. I knew she was going to be waiting for me in a much better place after that and seeing how she was not afraid to let go. When I was diagnosed and realized the ultimate price of this disease was my life and after seeing my mother unafraid to let hers go, I knew whatever happened I wouldn’t be afraid. That is called faith. After that, every time I was in pain or sick, unable to get out of bed due to the treatment, I would think of how my mother endured those three days in the hospital and it would give me the strength to keep on — along with that the pain and guilt of not being able to be there for my children. 4.) How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles? Owning our own business we were unable to afford health insurance for many years. Luckily, a little over a year prior to my diagnosis we got what I call catastrophe insurance just in case something just like this happened. We still have had an $8,000

deductible per year per person. Since I was diagnosed in September I had to pay out of pocket up until now, close to $20,000. But all I can think is thank God I was able to have the amazing care I have received from Sharp Rees Ingrid Qua Stealy. My oncologists, who are on the forefront of cancer treatment, the clinical trials, my surgeon who performed my mastectomy, and the most amazing nurses who helped me during each one of my treatments. They have cared so much — they have all now become my family. That is the type of support a cancer patient needs to help them survive this crap. It is these professionals who know and have seen what you are going through that, with their care and understanding, can help ease your angst and, strange as it sounds, make it a better experience. From my understanding, the cost alone of the drugs for my chemotherapy is close to $60,000 per treatment. 5.) Did this diagnosis impact your work? If so, how? I was lucky to own my own business and have my husband as my partner and a great staff who took up the reigns when I was unable to come in to work. But I tried to work as much as possible since being in bed only made me feel worse. 6.) Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known? People know they never want to hear the doctor utter the word cancer, but they do not understand the full extent of the word. First, it takes your health, then everything that makes you feel like a woman — your breasts and your hair — away from you. Finally, it takes you and your family, throws it in a blender and crushes it beyond recognition then hands it back to you wrapped in a pretty little pink ribbon. But I also want people to know there is help.

Last July, Lisa Hinkley was on vacation when she began reading Kelly Corrigan’s book, “The Middle Place.” Lisa credits this book with inspiring her to perform her own self-exam that led her to find a large lump, which an MRI revealed was a 5-centimeter tumor. In May, after surgery and chemotherapy, Lisa got a clean bill of health from her physicians. “And that,” she says, “is about as good as it gets.” To celebrate, the Hinkleys are making the brewery’s 9th anniversary celebration at the new location at 6550 Mira Mesa Blvd. on Nov. 12 a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For details go to www.greenflashbrew.com. We asked Lisa to talk about her experience. Q: When were you diagnosed and what type of diagnosis did you receive? A: I was first diagnosed on Aug. 17, 2010. I was originally diagnosed with DCIS, but later found to have Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, that had spread to the sentinal lymph node. Q: What type of treatment did you receive? A: I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction, on Oct. 5, followed by four rounds of chemotherapy, which started on Nov. 4 and finished on Jan. 4. Q: Was there any one person/thing/routine that served as your rock during this time? A: My husband Mike was definitely my rock during that time. He put everything on hold for me, and made himself available for all doctors appointments and any other support I needed. It was so great to have him at the appointments. I was so overwhelmed that I would forget things the doctor said, yet he remembered everything. Also, while I was going through diagnosis and treatment, Green Flash was in the midst of a major brewery expansion as well as a complete packaging redesign. Focusing

on these projects helped take my mind off the severity of the situation and staying busy made the time pass quickly. I would be remiss not to mention all of my amazing Lisa Hinkley friends who were a beacon of light during this time. They sent constant messages, offering support and prayers, and I felt so loved and cared for! Another dear and supportive gesture which I truly appreciated: My son Michael arranged for his school’s football team — the Bishop’s Knights — to wear pink socks and wristbands at football games during October. Q: How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles? A: I am fortunate to have very good health insurance coverage, so my out of pocket expenses were minimal. Q: Did this diagnosis impact your work? If so, how? A: Because we are self-employed, I was lucky to have the flexibility to go to doctor’s appointments and take whatever time I needed during treatment. Everyone at our company was extremely supportive. Q: Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known? A: Mammograms, although extremely valuable, are not a fail-safe diagnosis.I found my very large tumor through self-exam, only three months after my mammogram came back negative. Women with dense breast tissue need to be especially vigilant about self-exams, and if anything does not look or feel right, insist on additional tests (i.e., ultrasound, biopsy). Breast cancer, if detected early, is 100 percent treatable.

CV Hindus celebrate Navaratri

Holiday lights in October? People dressed up in bright, colorful, Indian outfits and visiting neighbors. Loads of shoes outside front doors. What’s going on you ask? Its Navaratri time — the festival of Nine nights celebrated by Hindus in India, and all over the world, including Carmel Valley. The beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn are two very important junctions of climatic and solar influence. These two periods are taken as sacred opportunities for worship. The dates of the festival are determined according to the lunar calendar. Navaratri is the time when Hindus pay tribute to three Goddesses: Durga-the Goddess of action; Lakshmi — the Goddess of Wealth; and Saraswati — the Goddess of Knowledge. Navaratri is from Sept 27 to Oct 5 this year. In South India, the custom is to set up a display of dolls on steps called Golu. Flowers, fruits, snacks and sweets are offered to the display, and neighbors come to visit and view the displays. People offer devotional songs (bhajans) or dances, as well as play musical instruments. Women dress up in their finest saris and go from home to home visiting. Many homes in Carmel Valley have set up Golus. Chinmaya Mission San Diego (CMSD), which conducts a Hindu Sunday School, had its Navaratri festivities on Oct. 2 at the Lawrence Family JCC. The 5th grade class performed a play to an audience of about 500 depicting the Mahisasura story. Rajit Agarwal of Solana Pacific played the role of Mahisasura, the demon Buffalo King who was granted a boon by Lord Brahma, played by Sanjay Subramaniam of Ashley Falls school, that no man, animal or god could kill him. He and his demon army then went on to raise havoc. Mahisasura is ultimately defeated by Goddess

Durga — a woman. Prathik Rungta and Shrey Sambhavani of Ocean Air; and Gaurav Dixit and Meghana Garcia of Solana Pacific were among the cast. North Indians celebrate Navaratri with Raas Garba — folk dancing. The local Hindu temples, as well as the San Diego Convention Center were the places crowds gathered to dance into the late hours of the night. The graceful, rhythmic dance usually done in a circular pattern and with decorated sticks called dandias is beautiful to watch and fun to participate in. You will see young kids as well as the old, and everyone in between participating in this event. They dance around a pot with a lamp lit in it. The pot symbolizes the universe and the lamp is the medium through which we worship the Godess Durga.

Falcons defeat Oceanside 28-6, ready for upcoming playoffs BY BILL BUTLER The Torrey Pines Falcons defeated the Oceanside Pirates 28-6 to finish the regular season at 5-1-1. Results of league games will determine the seeds for the Palomar Conference playoffs that will begin on Oct. 15. Torrey Pines used a stout defense to stop the Pirates and to give the Falcons good field position throughout the contest. On their first possession, the Falcons picked up a first down at the Oceanside 32-yard line. On the next play, Zac Friedland raced into the end zone. Ryan Wells added two points with a nice kick, and the score was Torrey Pines 8, Oceanside 0. On the Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second possession, Tyler Alexander picked up a couple of first downs before slipping in a pool of water and mud on the field and injuring an ankle. Alexander missed the remainder of the game but should be fine for the playoffs. The second Falcon touchdown came after a 44yard run by Jackie Plashkes to the Oceanside 6 yard line. Plashkes began the run to the left side of the formation and maneuvered around and through the defenders to finish the run just short of the goal line on the right side line. A Beau Morgans Touchdown was called back due to a 15-yard penalty for blocking below the waist. With the ball at the 16, Plashkes took the handoff into the end zone to make the score 14-0. After a penalty for too many men on the field moved the ball back, Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PAT try was long enough and high enough but hit the right upright to bounce astray. Good defense by the entire Falcon team throughout the game consistently limited the time of possession for the Pirates and gave the Falcons several opportunities to score. Their third score of the first half. A long run by Brandon Ray placed the ball at the Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2 yard line. From there, Friedland scored, and Wells added a two-point kick for a 22-0 score at halftime. The Falcons scored three times on their first possession of the second half before the officials allowed a score to stand. First, with the ball at the 46 yard line, Conner Whitton passed to Friedland, who raced into the end zone untouched. This TD was negat-

On the next play, Friedland, again scored on a run from the 42, only to lose a second TD to a penalty call. With 1st and 25 from their own 45 yard line, Whitton hit Ray with a pass to bring up 2nd and 7. After yet another penalty put the Falcons at 3rd and 7 from the 40, Whitton scrambled for a first down at the 28. Friedland ran the ball to the 4 yard line, and Plashkes scored on the next play: 280. This would end the scoring for the Falcons; Oceanside would score a late touchdown on a well-executed pass play.

Q&A

Biochemist on lifelong quest to understand life sciences Richard Ulevitch was raised in Cleveland and studied at Washington and Jefferson College (B.A.) and the University of Pennsylvania (Ph.D.). He started a Fellowship at the University of Minnesota but was offered the chance to come to The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). After meeting his wife of 37 years, Susan Slesinger, who had come to this area to live in a beautiful place where she could also work as a clinical social worker, he decided to put down roots here. He became a TSRI faculty member in the Department of Immunology. Richard Ulevitch In 1986, he moved to Geneva, Switzerland, to work for one year with Bernard Mach, a top European molecular biologist and one of Europe’s first biotechnology entrepreneurs. This relationship resulted in learning important new scientific approaches that Ulevitch applied on his return to TSRI in 1987. It also served as a unique beginning for his current endeavors. In 2008, he reduced efforts at TSRI and joined a life-science focused Venture Capital Fund (5AM Ventures). “I am still first-and-foremost a scientist,” he said, “but now I use my professional experiences to build new biotech companies.” He joined the board of the La Jolla Jewish Community Center at the time the center was being planned. In 1985, he joined the La Jolla Playhouse board and remained a board member for 15 years.

What brought you to this area? After finishing graduate school, a serendipitous set of events resulted in Charlie Cochrane M.D., one of the founders of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), offering me a post-doctoral fellowship in immunology. Although moving to California was never on my “to do” list, this was the beginning of four decades in this community. Who or what inspires you? Here I narrowed my focus to members of this community who are inspirational. And in my mind two individuals really

Obstetrician creates nonprofit for families with babies fighting for survival in NICUs BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor He was still in his scrubs when he arrived for our interview at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. He was running late and on two hours sleep after just delivering a baby at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns in Kearny Mesa. But as we walked through the garden to the patio restaurant for a coffee, he paused briefly to take a close-up photo of a flower in the morning sunlight with his cell phone. After all, his mother recently told him he should take more time to smell the roses — or at least photograph the daisies. “I’m trying to do that,” he confided. During the past decade as a practicing obstetrician and gynecologist in San Diego, Dr. Sean Daneshmand, 42, has delivered, he estimates, “thousands” of babies and most recently founded a nonprofit called Miracle Babies that is striving to become the nation’s premier organization providing emotional and financial support to low income families of babies born prematurely and hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Daneshmand was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Both of his parents are from Iran. They had met and married while they were undergraduates at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. His father was studying for his master’s degree in civil engineering at Louisiana State University. “And that’s where they had me,” Daneshmand chuckled to relate how he came to be born in Baton Rouge. “Then we went to Iran where I lived from the age of 4 until I was 10-and-a- half,” he said. His father was a successful civil engineer raising his family in Iran when the Iranian Revolution erupted in 1979 resulting in the overthrow of the monarchy under the Shah and its sudden conversion to an Islamic republic under the Muslim religious leader and politician Ayatollah Khomeini.

“We walked into school,” Daneshmand recalled, “and suddenly boys were segregated from the girls and pages were torn out of our history books. They ripped out whole sections of text. I came home and said ‘Dad, look at our history book. I remember my Dad looked at my mother and said, ‘We’re leaving.’ “And that’s what happened. We just closed the doors. They [the authorities] took everything we had. Everything. We went to Rome. My sister and I went to an international school there. Then to Brighton in England where my uncle, who is a psychiatrist, lives. And finally my parents decided to return to the States.” The family settled in Los Angeles. Asked what drew him to study medicine, he said: “I don’t know. I just loved it. Whenever I walked into a hospital, I just got chills. I knew I wanted to be a physician at a very young age.” In high school and college, he did hospital volunteer work as a “transporter,” wheeling patients from one area of the hospital to another. “I went to Beverly Hills High School and UCLA for my undergrad,

Del Mar woman dedicates life DEAL to sharing raw food lifestyle THE RAW

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer When Andrea Cox first visited Del Mar as a raw food company spokeswoman at a convention a year ago, she knew it was where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be. The raw food cookbook author and chef, who had been hired to promote raw and organic food company Sunfood based on her popularity in Ohio, turned down a permanent position with the company but stayed in Del Mar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and things have only flourished since. Her book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;RAWlicious Recipes,â&#x20AC;? continues to grow in popularity and she has found a niche doing private raw food cooking lessons, coaching and parties for those interested in the raw food lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything has happened by word of mouth, and the food speaks for itself,â&#x20AC;? said Cox, who just began offering â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dinners with Andrea,â&#x20AC;? in which she makes dinner on location for a groups of about

six (three couples). While Cox has lived for more than seven years on a 100-percent raw diet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; meaning no cooked food of any kind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she finds many of her clients are happy with one raw meal a day or going almost raw (maybe 70 to 80 percent, she said). â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good balance is perfect,â&#x20AC;? said Cox, who is also vegan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the longer I stayed raw the more focused I was and balanced I was.â&#x20AC;? Cox, a former fitness model of more than a decade, began her raw food venture when she became very ill from a high-protein diet. In her struggle, she flew to New York to meet personally with a raw food expert and author, and his teachings turned her life around. She not only became healthy again but, at 35, she has since maintained a size 0 and enjoys as much as 4,000 calories a day of raw, healthy food. As she became more

Once her local news media took notice, she ended up

on the front page of her hometown paper and doing weekly TV news spots. A pioneer of raw food, nobody was doing what Cox had dedicated her life to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really an odd ball,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and people thought I

Longtime Aikido master

Garrett Fuller and Tim Reynolds practice Aikido in Seagrove Park while master Coryl Crane observes.

shares art of peaceful force CORYL CRANE

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Have you ever passed through Seagrove Park in Del Mar on a Sunday morning and seen a group of about 10 men and women wearing samurai garb and fighting with sticks? Well, those sticks are actually called a “jos,” those skirt-like pants are known as the “hakama,” and those moves are part of Aikido — which means “the path to harmony with energy.” Every once in a while, the upper level students of North County Aikikai, located at 813 Academy Drive in Solana Beach, take their Japanese martial art beachside to

share it with those outside their studio, better known as a “dojo.” Their next practice at Seagrove Park is on Oct. 23 at 10 a.m. Many of these students have been practicing Aikido for more than 15 years and some have even grown up learning under the dojo’s leader, Sensei Coryl Crane, who has been teaching in Solana Beach for 20 years. The practice is one of long-term dedication, Crane said. “It’s about a process of inner growth,” she said. “You gain a sense of strength that comes from being centered and balanced.” Unlike many martial arts, Aikido is not about fighting or asserting strength over others. “It’s about the opponent in ourselves,” said Crane. “It’s about neutralizing a force of energy coming toward us and blending with it,” she said. “It’s not about attacking back, it’s about how you respond to the attack. You harmonize, blend, unbalance and neutralize, with no harm to the attacker. It’s not force against force; it’s force against intelligence.”

North County Aikikai student RC Miles sought out Aikido when he started working in the security field, which took him to dangerous locations and situations where “force was probable,” he said. “I wanted to find a martial art that would teach me to use force to control situations without putting someone in the hospital,” said Miles, who has studied under Crane, his fourth master, for four years. People come to Aikido for a number of reasons, including self defense and exercise — “You get a good workout,” Crane said. It is also one of the few martial arts that uses weapons, and very experienced students practice with live blades. Others come because they are interested in the philosophy of Aikido, said Crane. “They’ve read about Aikido and they appreciate the values of love and harmony.” Those principles are what enticed Crane, as well as a number of her students, to dedicate their lives to Aikido. Crane, a sixth-degree black belt, was trained by someone

who practiced under the art’s founder. A former stained glass artist, Crane discovered Aikido by walking by a studio in La Jolla in 1977, and the rest was history. “I connected with what was going on there without even knowing what it was,” she said. Miles said Crane is a special instructor in that she cares about her students’ practice as much as she cares about them “as human beings, as people living together in society.” A young-looking 67 years old, Crane “has a sharp eye and doesn’t miss any-

Music inspires the menu, decor at Solana Beach’s Wild Note Cafe BY KELLEY CARLSON he 60-seat, bistro-style restaurant — open daily for lunch and dinner — is tucked in among the shops, boutiques and galleries of the Cedros Avenue Design District. As expected, Wild Note Cafe’s main theme is music, and it’s reflected in much of the decor. A sculpted metal trumpet player hovers over the patio doors, where tiny, silver music notes add a bit of sparkle on the glass. Guitars, drums and various other instruments are displayed high above the semicircular bar that’s part of the indoor dining area; on the opposite side of the room, carved wooden band figures play underneath an American flag. A number of images hang on the cafe’s golden-hued walls, including pictures of the legendary BB King, San Diego rock band Switchfoot and Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, taken by local photographer Aaron Chang. Other works of art reflect scenes of San Diego and Baja California, such as an oil painting by deceased artist

The indoor dining area’s features include photos by Aaron Chang and carved wooden band figures.

Patrons at the bar can watch sports programming and music videos.

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.

■ This week: Wild Note’s Shrimp Dumplings Kenneth Dale Draper that depicts Hussong’s Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico. While cafe guests don’t necessarily hear songs emanating from the Belly Up next door, they can listen to pop, indie rock and reggae tracks played inside the restaurant. Music videos are often shown on the TV centered over the bar, along with sports programming. The chef is Israel “Izzy” Balderas, and the sous chef is Jorge Benitez. The cuisine served at Wild Note Cafe can be described as “Pacific coastal with Mexican fusion.” For example, there are Shrimp Enchiladas with Spanish rice

and refried pinto beans, and Lobster Dumplings with a port wine sauce. There’s also the Ahi Sashimi Grade Salad, containing organic greens, fresh seaweed, papaya, crispy wontons, cucumber and champagne vinaigrette; and the Dijon-Herb Crusted Salmon, with Israeli couscous, broccolini and lemon-tarragon buerre blanc. Burgers and sandwiches are included among the offerings, as well as a variety of gourmet sliders — Jalapeño Turkey Burger, Fried Chicken Tender, Filet Mignon and Seared Ahi. The children’s menu consists of pasta with Parmesan, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, a burger and a quesadilla.

Patrons who leave room for dessert will find options such as the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie and the Peach-Berry Puff Pastry. According to Beth Bennett, director of marketing and events at the Belly Up and Wild Note Cafe, everything is housemade except the herb bread and butter, which is provided by O’Brien’s Bakery in Del Mar. “We use the freshest ingredients locally when we can,” she said. Bennett recommends that customers “crack a bottle of wine and try a variety of offerings.” “From the starters, if you like seafood, there are plenty of options,” she said. “Sit on the patio, watch the people go by.” The lunch crowd tends to be Cedros shoppers and beachgoers, while dinner tends to be “very show-driven,” Bennett said. Reservations are recommended on nights of popular concerts. But there’s a perk for Wild Note patrons: There is a side entrance to the Belly Up through the cafe, where the line is often shorter, Bennett said.

How will you celebrate National Pizza Month? The Kitchen Shrink

Pizza dough Let’s get the dough on the road with this scratch crust. Ingredients 2 packages active dry yeast pinch of white sugar 1 1/4 cups warm water 1/4 cup olive oil 3 1/2 cups unbleached flour 1 teaspoon sea salt cornmeal

CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor Among the month of October’s claims to fame, is National Pizza Month. Here’s the deep dish on America’s favorite slice of life, a beloved industry that has swelled to $30 billion a year. When archaeologists excavated the “frozen” city of Pompeii, they discovered shops that resembled modern pizzerias. The ancient Roman pies were naked flat breads — sans the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese — as the former were considered poisonous, and the latter had not yet made a pit stop in Napoli. By this time, the pioneer pizzas sold throughout Naples by street vendors had become a popular peasant food since they were cheap, tasty and satisfying. Famed baker Raffaele Esposito had a solid claim as any to the creation of the modern pizza pie. In 1889, when King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy toured their Italian kingdom, Esposito baked a special pizza

Method: Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in 1/2 cup of the water, and set aside until it foams. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of water, olive oil and yeast mixture. Mix the flour and salt and stir in one cup at a time until the dough forms a ball. Spoon onto a floured board and knead until smooth. Place the dough in in honor of her majesty, topping it with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil to represent the colors of the Italian flag – red, white and green. This patriotic pie, the Pizza Margherita, named for the beloved Queen, is still a much-enjoyed tradition. Pizza’s popularity caught on like hot cakes when American soldiers stationed in the Italian territories during World War II returned home and spread the word about this delicioso dish. Pizza quickly emerged from the little Italian neighborhoods into mainstream city cuisine. Today the average North American eats 23 pounds of pizza per year, taking second spot only to hamburgers as this country’s favorite food.

an oiled bowl and cover. Set aside in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. Knead on a floured board. You can make 1 large or 2 medium pizzas. Roll out into a thin circle. Grease a round, vented baking pan and dust with cornmeal. Place the dough on top, spread marinara sauce evenly, sprinkle a blanket of mozzarella cheese, and toppings of your choice. Bake at 450º F for about 10 minutes or until bubbly.

Pepperoni is requested on roughly 36 percent of all pizza orders, but you can dress it up and take it out to your druthers. Pizza Romana in Naples is topped with tomato, mozzarella, anchovies, oregano and oil. When in Rome, I had pizza capricciosa with a motherload of mushrooms, artichokes, olives and hard-boiled egg slices in the bulls-eye. New York-style pizza is a hand-tossed thin crust, light on the sauce, sold in humungous slices that New Yorkers deftly fold in half on the vertical bias when chowing down. The Chicago-style is a deep-dish pie that starts with cheese and ends with sauce. Aussies and western Americans prefer Hawaiian pizzas

with Canadian bacon and pineapple. I’ve recently seen a pizza dressed with roast chicken Caesar salad, while other kitschy toppings include oysters, dandelions, Cajun shrimp, venison, duck, tuna, mixed salted nuts, PB and J, and bacon and eggs. Women favor veggies, while men choose carnivorous toppings. Some pizza fans prefer a white pizza that swaps out the red sauce for a creamy Alfredo. Today’s crusts do the gamut from traditional white flour to whole wheat, spelt, herb or gluten-free. Any way you slice it, 3 billion pies are sold a year which translates to 350 slices of pizza each second.

Q&A continued from page stand out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ellen and Roger Revelle. I was privileged to know both. The Revelles were the moral compass of the community, setting the highest standards for themselves and expecting the same of others. Most importantly, they helped build and support educational and cultural organizations that form the core assets of what makes this community great. They set an example that many have followed.

OBSTETRICIAN continued from page majoring in kinesiology, (the scientific study of human movement and its application to human health), which was a great major in preparation for medical school.â&#x20AC;? He earned his medical degree at New York Medical College, Valhalla, N.Y., in 1995. Initially, he intended to become a vascular surgeon. In his fourth year in medical school, he did a sub-internship rotation at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles in vascular surgery and trauma surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I hated itâ&#x20AC;ŚI just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in,â&#x20AC;? he said. A friend suggested he do a two-week rotation in maternal-fetal medicine. He did, discovered that he liked it and fol-

lowed up with a monthlong rotation in gynecology. That was it. He had found his specialization pathway. He did a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA; and, in 1999, came to San Diego for a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at UCSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Reproductive Medicine, which he completed in 2002 and entered a group practice at the San Diego Perinatal Center. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists, called perinatologists, focus on the medical and surgical management of high risk pregnancies and preterm births. A preterm or premature birth is one in which a child is born before the 37-week full term gestation and before the fetal development is normally sufficient to allow for life outside the womb

without assistance. Premature babies typically spend their first days or weeks in incubators, on ventilators and in NICUs. In the U.S., prematurity is the leading cause of neonatal deaths with a mortality rate of 25 percent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stressful enough for a woman to deliver a baby prematurely, Daneshmand said, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even tougher when she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to take time off work or to buy gas to drive and visit her baby daily in an NICU as the infant struggles through its first few precarious weeks of its life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And women are strong,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women are really incredible. This practice has increased my respect for women so much more because I see them at one of the toughest times in their livesâ&#x20AC;ŚEveryone wants a very healthy pregnancy and many times that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;? Moved by the tears of one of his patients whose husband was laid-off work and she was faced with the prospect of not being able to afford time off from her job to visit her daughter in the NICU, he thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get off my butt, and do something to help,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I called 14 former patients (volunteers) and some co-workers, met with them on a Saturday in my office, and the concept of Miracle Babies was born.â&#x20AC;? Since its inception in 2009, Miracle Babies has helped more than 500 families of NICU preemies, providing everything from baby supplies and rent assistance to sibling childcare and gas vouchers. Eligible families are referred to Miracle Babies by social workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give assistance

San Diego Master Chorale to present fall concert in SB Oct. 15 The San Diego Master Chorale will present a fall concert titled Modern Masters as the first in its 51st season on Oct. 15 at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church at 7 p.m. The program centerpiece is Kodály’s Missa Brevis for chorus and organ.

CV resident’s new Dank & Dewey belt line makes a statement BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Carmel Valley’s Kristen Small wants women to know fun fashion can be a cinch. Her new belt line Dank & Dewey specializes in “jewelry for the waist” — leather belts with statement-making buckles. “I want to help women feel good and be fashionable, on just a regular day or a night on the town,” Small said. “Women like to feel beautiful and look our best. One of our mottos is ‘Love what you wear.’” Small is now working with Piazza Carmel’s Fred’s Shoes owner Fred Moreno to create a new line of purses. Moreno opened Fred’s Shoes about six months ago—for the last four years he had a repair space in the back of Foot Care Systems. The owner sold the store over to him and he was able to fulfill a life-long dream of having his own shop. Dank & Dewey belts are also available in Head Over Heels in Del Mar Highlands, La Boutique Les Duex in Del Mar, TRE Clothing in La Jolla and

several boutiques in Hawaii. “I’m very positive about the successful direction Dank & Dewey is headed in,” Small said. A former dental hygienist, last year Small won the marketing competition The VP Contest, earning a $10,000 prize and became the vice president of sales of an energy drink company that eventually dwindled out. She took her winnings and decided to focus on her passion for fashion. Small had competed in pageants as a teenager and always tailored her own costumes and did the same for her teenage daughter Janelle. Small wanted to create a unique, high-quality belt line—combining her own design ideas with 100 percent leather. “I’m inspired by different shapes and colors. I like bling,” Small said. She currently has seven designs with eye-catching buckles, including turquoise and silver, a copper foil look and one a sparkling sun. Small is also working to perfect her Dank & Dewey “waistline cinchers”—an ac-

cessory that can cinch a baggy- fitting shirt stylishly in the back to create a more figure-flattering look. Now with Moreno on board, she’s looking forward to exploring all the design possibilities of purses. “It’s exciting to work with Fred, his is the first store I have my belts in,” Small said, acknowledging his creative and skilled talent in creating custom shoes lends itself nicely to creating custom leather bags. At Fred’s Shoes, Moreno makes custom leather boots and orthopedic shoes, taking molds of people’s feet and creating the shoes to the customer’s specification. Fred has plenty of experience to back his craft— he learned the art from his great grandfather in Italy when he was about 3 years old. “He was the best shoemaker in World War II Italy,” Moreno said. Moreno said he loves leather craftsmanship and loves pleasing his loyal customers which makes the purse line such a fun new venture.

Their first collaboration is a shiny blue leather bag with snakeskin and tassel details that matches a unique blue leather Dank & Dewey belt. The pair hopes to focus on the purses locally and in Hawaii, capitalizing on the tourist market. Each Dank & Dewey belt comes in a keepsake box, lined with purple satin. Small’s husband Troy wrote the story behind the Dank & Dewey logo crest and it’s written around the box—the story details a girl whose dreams all came true. Small said when reading her husband’s words, the story sounded eerily familiar. “He’s the love of my life and he’s been an angel and an inspiration of encouragement to me,” she said with a smile. To visit their online store, visit dankanddewey. com. Fred’s Shoes is holding a Grand Opening celebration Oct. 21-23. Visit Fred’s Shoes at 3860 Valley Centre Drive, suite 408. For more information call Dank & Dewey at (800) 795-6805 or Fred’s at (858) 847-7593.

Metal sculptor to open

gift and art store in Del Mar BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer A shop that offers a 10-percent discount to locals, carries items that women “must have,” and showcases not-just-your-everyday-landscape local artwork. That’s the vision behind Del Mar Art & Gifts. And although he chose a rather simple name, owner Arthur Ball’s inspiration for the business that will replace Earth Song Books on Nov. 18 goes much deeper. Ball, a 67-year-old self-proclaimed “artaholic” and advocate of karma, said it was “the Universe” that led him to open a shop in Del Mar. But a statistic he said he heard somewhere also provided inspiration. “Eighty percent of all art is sold to people traveling,” he said. “It makes sense. Whenever I travel I find something, and there is a specific energy and memory attached to that piece, something special that defies time.”

ARTHUR BALL The shop will offer mainly art of all kinds, from up to 30 local artists at any given time, as well as other items such as handmade greeting cards, hats, ceramics, candles and lotions. “It will be more of an art store than a traditional gallery,” said Ball. “We want to offer items that aren’t a gazillion dollars.” Ball will also be selling a book he wrote and self-

published — “Karma Rules.” A cancer survivor, Ball went through chemotherapy a little over a year ago, he said. At that time, he owned a printing company and sold his interests in the business to his nephew. “For a while, I thought I was going to have to buy the box,” he said about being faced with death. After his recovery, Ball said he felt as though he didn’t need to do anything other than enjoy and share art. A metal sculptor, Ball rented space in other shops to show and sell his work, but said he didn’t like the fact that shop owners got to pick and choose what to display. “Every piece of art means something different to every person,” he said. “I needed artistic freedom, and I want to be able to show whatever I want.” Del Mar Art & Gifts will be located at 1440 Camino Del Mar, CA, 92014.

ope for a Cure held its annual fundraiser,“Baubles and Wine,” Oct. 8 at the Marriott Del Mar. The event included a wine tasting, appetizers, entertainment and a silent auction. Hope for a Cure is a unique non-profit organization that identifies cancer researchers in the San Diego area that are in need of scientific equipment to further their efforts in the treatment of cancer. Hope for a Cure raises the funds, locates the equipment, purchases it directly from the manufacturer and donates it directly to the scientist. This year’s recipient was Dr. Donald Durden, MD, PhD Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Pediatrics for UCSD Moores Cancer Center and Radys Children’s Hospital. The equipment donated this year will be a specialized digital camera that allows the researcher to measure the capacity of cancer cells that move in and invade the body. This will hopefully provide a platform for them to develop therapies that block this activity.

Grauer School attracts international students The Grauer School in Encinitas has attracted a number of international students to its enrollment class of 2011, in conjunction with its UNESCO status as a “Center of Innovation.” The school was awarded the affiliation in 2010 as the only school in the Southern California region to be the recipient of this prestigious designation, furthering the concept of Expeditionary Learning, established by the school upon inception 20 years ago. Their weekly newsletter is read in over 123 cities worldwide, a testament to their global reach. According to Grauer School Admissions Counselor Elizabeth Braymen, “We have students from all points throughout the globe who have been drawn to The Grauer School experience though a variety of outreach programs we are involved in. This includes our UNESCO association as well as our pioneering concept of Expeditionary Learning that immerses our students in global cultures and humanitarian efforts. “In our 2011 class, international students include a foreign exchange student

form Portugal, a student from Vietnam, two students from China, one from Mexico and another from Japan, plus a German student who will be enrolling in the fall semester after an international sailing competition on the Baltic Sea. Interestingly, some students come to us short-term for language and culture immersion, but most come in order to earn a high school degree and matriculate to a U.S. college or university.” The Grauer School is internationally renowned for its proven success in providing an academically-balanced, comprehensive education for its students, engaging them in community outreach programs both within the San Diego community as well as abroad.

David Ellenstein discusses North Coast Rep’s 30th season BY SARA APPEL-LENNON Contributor David Ellenstein, artistic director of North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach (launching its 30th season this month), said he knew he wanted be an actor at age four, when he saw how much his dad, Robert Ellenstein, enjoyed working in theater. His father performed in stage plays, TV series, and films, including the role of Federation Council President in “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.” “My father was a pretty well-known actor, director, teacher, artistic director, and the main mentor for me. He believed in the power of theater to affect the world in a positive way,” Ellenstein said. “He understood that plays, with their ability to elicit laughter and tears, promote discussions that encourage broader perspectives and tolerance of others. Ultimately, theater is about community and about the way we treat each other.” Ellenstein also named Geoffrey Sherman, Alabama’s Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director, as a mentor. Ellenstein said he liked Sherman’s stage directing savoir-faire, always expressing thanks to each actor and requesting input after rehearsals. “In my directing, I strive to be constructively honest,” he said. “My style is one of a benevolent despot. “Any good actor knows that he can’t see what he is doing, so ultimately he doesn’t know how it’s being perceived. The more he has done it, he has an idea, but he can’t actually see it. He needs someone who he trusts to tell him what’s coming across. “Consider this quote on the subject by Sir Laurence Olivier’s counterpart, Sir Ralph Richardson, when he spoke to a young director: ‘My boy I’ve been doing this a long time and I can be very, very good, but I can also be very, very bad, and when I am, you must tell me.’ ” Ellenstein said he offers feedback tailored to

how and when an actor needs to hear it; being direct works well with some actors, others prefer “ricochet notes.” That’s where the actor who needs to hear the comments receives them without knowing they are meant for him or her. “Actors are fragile and very sensitive creatures,” Ellenstein said. “But I’m the advocate for the audience in the room.” Ellenstein said he usually leaves NCRT acting to the actors, however he recently cast himself in two plays: “Talley’s Folly” and “My Name is Asher Lev,” to critical acclaim. Looking ahead, Ellenstein said plans are underway to either locate NCRT to a new venue or expand the current one, which Olive and Tom Blakistone founded in 1982. He said productions are inhibited by the facility’s lack of backstage wing space, and an indoor path for actors to move from one side of the stage to the other without the audience noticing. “Still, we do amazingly well in the confines we have,” Ellenstein insisted. NCRT, a subscriptionand donation-based theater, operates on $1.7 million annually, and under a Small Professional Theatre

Its youth programs, which generate less than 10 percent of the budget, include a threeweek summer drama camp, acting lessons for ages 7-17, and six performances of each of its four plays. Busy planning the theater’s 2013 season, Ellenstein said he is creating a master list of 100-120 plays from which he’ll pick the most marketable that satisfy his artistic inclinations. So far he’s considering a comedy, drama, new play, musical, classical work, and “two serendipitous surprises.” Ellenstein and his wife, Denise, moved from Los Angeles to Carlsbad almost nine years ago when Ellenstein landed a director’s job at NCRT. He said when he first told his wife about the opening, she started packing their belongings. “‘You’re going to apply for the job. You’re going to get it and we’re moving,’ Ellenstein quoted. He said he hasn’t looked back since. “I love creating things with creative people. They’re using themselves to create art. It’s a vibrant life and a good ride. I’m very lucky,” he said with a gleam in his eye.

Young girls share inspiring stories at fundraiser for Angel Faces Two girls, who suffered serious burns to their faces and bodies from separate, horrific accidents, shared their stories with 120 special guests during a special fundraising dinner for Angel Faces on Oct. 1 at the private residence of Richard Doan in Rancho Pacifica. Melissa and Jenna recently participated in the extraordinary Angel Faces week-long retreat, which helps adolescent girls overcome the stigma from traumatic and disfiguring injuries, including frequent reconstructive surgeries, spoke passionately about their journey and Angel Faces during the evening’s inspiring program. Melissa also sang a few songs. Angel Faces is a national nonprofit organization, headquartered in Encinitas, whose mission is to provide healing retreats and ongoing support for adolescent girls with burn/ trauma injuries to achieve their optimum potential and develop meaningful relationships for themselves, their families, and their communities. The unique retreats and aftercare programs focus on the healing process within a holistic framework of mind, heart, and spirit. In addition to art therapy and private, corrective-cosmetic sessions, the program provides licensed therapists to help the girls through their loss and trauma issues and provide the girls with strategies to handle staring and teasing.

The goal of Angel Faces is to offer both a physical and emotional transformation so each girl walks away with a new confidence and a hopeful outlook toward the future. Lesia Cartelli is the founder and CEO of Angel Faces. At the age of 9, Cartelli suffered severe burns to over 50 percent of her face and body from a natural gas explosion. Cartelli’s own struggle with her resulting disfigurements was the catalyst for establishing and directing the organization, launched in 2003. Cartelli has received numerous prestigious awards for this program. Cartelli states,”The retreat allows the girls a ‘soft place to fall’ to overcome the effects of their trauma in their daily lives by teaching them how to positively handle stares and teasing, enhance their social and behavioral skills, to improve their self confidence and encourage them to create positive life choices.” Angel Faces is the only program of its kind in the United States, and has been featured on the Dr. Phil Show, where Cartelli was honored with the “Heart of a Woman” Award for founding the program. For more information, please visit the Angel Faces website at www.angelfacesretreat.org or Facebook page at www. facebook.com/angelfacesinc.

For the next few Alan Cook poses with months, you can see some Elena Ivanova Papova, a of his treasures Chekhov play puppet at Carlsbad’s made in the 1920s. Cannon Gallery. More than 200 puppets from the Alan Cook Collection are beautifully displayed in the gallery that is part of the Library Complex. There are Punch and Judy hand puppets, Indonesian shadow puppets, life-size Burmese puppets, rare Japanese Bunraku puppets meant to be manipulated by two or three puppeteers, Broadway and Holly-

wood celebrity lookalikes, and a whole company of Chinese marionettes ... and that’s just for starters. A special added attraction to the Carlsbad exhibition will be the appearance of Hobey Ford’s Golden Rod Puppets in an extraordinary piece called “Animalia” at the free Family Open Studios event Saturday, Oct. 15. Ford, an award-winning performer who lives in North Carolina, is famous for his handcrafted foam-rubber “foamies,” realistic animal puppets that seem to come alive in his hands. — Lonnie Burstein Hewitt

Malashock Dance brings ‘RAW2’ to La Jolla Playhouse BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor RAW: Rude. Rough. Unrefined. Not words that usually come to mind in relation to Malashock Dance, a bright star on the local dance scene since 1988. But last fall’s “Malashock/RAW,” featuring pieces by artistic director John Malashock, assistant artistic director Michael Mizerany, and guest choreographer Bradley Michaud, was a big hit at the late, lamented Sushi downtown. Now the company is bringing “RAW2,” an all-new trio of provocative, boundarysmashing dances, to the La Jolla Playhouse, and it’s definitely a hot ticket. “It’s a nice balance to have different forums for our work, to be able to tap into different sides of ourselves as artists — raw and refined,” Malashock said. “And we wanted to expand our choreography, invite other people’s work in, besides just using my own.” The stripped-down format also applies to the RAW budget. “We’re not spend-

ing much on costumes or sets,” Mizerany said. “We’re concerned with the dances and the dancers.” This time, they’ve invited Henry Torres and Angel Arambula from Lux Boreal, a Tijuana dance company that’s been making a name for itself on both sides of the border. “We’ve known Lux Boreal for a long time, and always admired their work,” said Malashock. “And Henry Torres has taught master classes in our studio. Now they’re creating a new piece, “Harem,” here, and basically all we know about it is in their press release. That’s part of the excite-

ment of RAW, for us and our audiences: You don’t know what you’re gonna get.” Malashock and Mizerany are also excited about their own new pieces for “RAW2.” “With ‘Piece of Work!’ I’m going back to how I began creating dances. I really wanted to get very intimate and personal, to develop some unique characters and emotional story lines,” Malashock said. “And I’m using some really exciting music, like Brian Eno and David Byrne, along with some more current sounds.” Mizerany’s ‘Desperate Love’ is set to a score that combines tribal drumbeats, techno, and new age music. “The piece is in five sections, with four dancers, and it’s about desperate people trying to find a way to love,” Mizerany said. “There’s lots of skin, lots of sweat, lots of conflict, lots of fast, dynamic movement. My pieces tend to be very carnal, about how people relate to each other through their bodies and their hearts.”

My San Diego Real Estate

opens in Solana Beach

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer When Rosalinda Ramierez decided to hold an opening party on Oct. 4 for My San Diego Real Estate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which recently opened an office in Solana Beach at 220 Lomas Santa Fe Drive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing awareness to her business wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all she had in mind. She also wanted to support and put the spotlight on a local tutoring organization that has changed the life of numerous local kids. Casa de Amistad, which operates out of the Presbyterian church at 120 Stevens Ave., is an academic mentoring program that started in 1997 and has tutored 175 kids this year. John Vinson and Catalina Beltran, of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors, were at the opening to answer questions about Casa de Amistad, to which Ramirez will be donating a portion of each transaction that takes place at My San Diego Real Estate. A number of business and community leaders were in attendance at the Oktoberfest-themed event, which featured a variety of vendors, who also donated $50 each to Casa de Amistad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing what they do there,â&#x20AC;? said Ramierez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I walked in I got chills.â&#x20AC;?

Coldwell Banker to host ‘Document Shredding and Recycling Fest’ The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Del Mar will be hosting a Document Shredding and Recycling Fest in coordination with Goodwill Industries of San Diego County. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Coldwell Banker’s office parking lot, located at 2651 Via De La Valle in Del Mar. This free of charge recycling and donation event will provide community residents and businesses the opportunity to: • Securely dispose of old tax records, confidential documents or any papers containing sensitive information (a certificate of destruction will be mailed to anyone who uses the shredding service). • Donate clean, reusable clothing and house hold goods. (All donors will receive a tax donation receipt). • Donate/recycle computers, computer accessories, and TVs working or not. Goodwill staff members will be avail-

able throughout the event to assist with donations and providing tax donation receipts. Courtesy of Coldwell Banker, refreshments will be available during the event. We encourage everyone to participate. Clean out your closets, unclutter your offices and be good to the earth! “This is yet another effort by Coldwell Banker to provide local community residents and businesses with professional services that save time, money, and our environment while also providing people with disabilities and other barriers to employment jobs by developing their skills and work habits through ongoing training and support,” said Branch Manager Delorine Jackson. Large items (furniture, appliances, mattresses, equipment) will not be collected at this event. If you have any questions regarding donating to Goodwill, please visit www.sdgoodwill.org or call (619) 225-2200.

Solana Center offers free composting workshops The Solana Center for Environmental Innovation is offering several free workshops designed to teach San Diego County residents how to successfully compost at home. Composting is an important component of environmentally sustainable communities because it diverts valuable organic matter from landfills and reduces the amount of waste that must be transported from neighborhoods to waste disposal and processing facilities. For residents, composting is also an excellent way to enrich soil in gardens, yards, and planters. Amending soil with compost can conserve water, reduce the need for fertilizer, and increase plant vigor and pest resistance. The workshops are free to all San Diego County residents. For a list of workshop dates and locations, and to pre-register online, visit www.solanacenter.org.
