Lessons learned from Witch Creek blaze help make fire season safer, RSF chief says BY JOE TASH Friday, Oct. 21, marks the fourth anniversary of the 2007 Witch Creek fire, which caused the evacuation of 23,000 people from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, destroyed 61 homes in the district and damaged 23 more. Lessons learned from that blaze — which charred nearly 200,000 acres in San Diego County and destroyed more than 1,000 homes — will help make this fall’s fire season safer for district residents, said Rancho Santa Fe Fire Chief Tony Michel. Within the district, the fire, which began in East San Diego County, burned some 6,000 acres, said Michel. The district’s four fire stations serve a 38-square-mile territory, which includes Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, 4S Ranch, The Crosby, Cielo and other communities. “The biggest thing we all learned, the community learned they can be affected by wildfire,” said Michel. “It became a reality that a fire can start in East County and within a day be at our doorstep.” Since that massive blaze, the district has taken a number of steps to improve fire safety, from improving its communications and organizational abilities, to adding new provisions to its fire safety codes for homeowners. For example, the district has outfitted one of its training rooms as a departmental operations center for use dur-

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 Don Mosier and Solana

Ag. district suspends buy-back Prominent thinkers/authors debate life’s eternal questions at forum program until new audit made public BY JOE TASH Elon Musk of SpaceX and BY JOE TASH A program under which Del Mar Fairgrounds employees could cash in paid leave, which has drawn criticism from state auditors, has been suspended until a new audit of the state-owned facility’s operations is made public. Adam Day, president of the nine-member volunteer board that oversees the fairgrounds, said he has instructed fairgrounds staff to temporarily suspend the buy-back program for paid
leave until an audit covering 2009 through 2010 is released by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, possibly in time for the fair board’s scheduled meeting on Nov. 8. Day said he also wants a review of the rules related to such leave buy-backs. “Obviously, all applicable rules and regulations need to be adhered to.

Local researchers tackle breast cancer BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 230,480 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year. After increasing for more than two decades, female breast cancer incidence rates decreased by about 2 percent per year from 1999 to 2005. But, given that each year about 39,520 die from breast cancer clearly more needs to be done. Here are highlights of just a few of the ongoing research efforts in Torrey Pines Mesa toward improved diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment wellness for breast cancer patients. Using optical imaging Millions of women over 40 undergo x-ray mammography each year in an effort to detect breast cancer in its early stage, when it is often most treatable. However, traditional mammography involves exposure to radiation and produces poor diagnostic accuracy, resulting in a high rate of false positive diagnoses. UCSD bioengineering grad student Carolyn Schutt and her lab mates Michael Benchimol and Mark Hsu are working on a method to use highly-sensitive light imaging and focused light therapies deep inside the body that will help detect and treat breast cancer more effectively. Known as optical fluorescence imaging, the method could one day offer a safer, less expensive, and more accurate visualization of whether a tumor is present (http://bit.ly/i1GPMo).
Non-surgical approaches The “sentinel lymph node” is routinely removed and dissected to determine the likelihood that the cancer has spread beyond the breast. However, identifying the correct lymph node to remove is not straightforward. Andrew Goodwin, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Nanoengineering in the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering is studying the use of novel microbubbles with fluorescent outer shells to mark the sentinel lymph node. The approach involves using ultrasound — high-frequency sound waves used in medical imaging applications — to detect the gas-filled microbubbles injected into a tumor. Once the lymph nodes have been imaged, the radiologist will turn up the power of the ultrasound beam in the area surrounding the sentinel lymph node. This will burst the microbubbles and release non-toxic fluorescent polymer that is designed to stick specifically in the lymph nodes, allowing for a more accurate dissection surgery (http://bit.ly/ gzSSsK). Changing cancer cells There is growing evidence that some tumors originate from stem cells, which keep proliferating to make more stem cells and give rise to more cancer cells. Robert Oshima, Ph.D., and colleagues at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute are looking for drugs that force these cancer stem cells to differentiation. This way, the cells settle down and become a specific cell type that can no longer replicate. This is a
Did you know?
very different approach than standard treatments because it doesn’t kill the cells, just forces them to become a different—and benign—cell type (http:// bit.ly/ozIYGU). Making treatments better Erkki Ruoslahti, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues at Sanford-Burnham are developing peptides that specifically bind cancer cells and the blood vessels that feed them. The peptides do this by following “vascular ZIP codes;” certain cell surface markers that distinguish tumor blood vessels from normal ones. One of these peptides helps co-administered drugs to penetrate deeply into tumor tissue. The peptide has been shown to improve treatment efficacy against human breast cancer (as well as other cancers) in mice, achieving the same therapeutic effect as a normal dose with one-third as much of the drug. Studying the survivors There are currently 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Researchers at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center are conducting a multiyear study examining risk factors among survivors; among them the effects of weight loss and exercise on recovery. SHAPE (Survivors’ Health and Physical Exercise) is a first-of-its kind program for breast-cancer survivors to offer supervised fitness and nutrition lifestyle modification in an effort to determine its effectiveness in a patient’s vitality and longevity and in preventing cancer recurrence. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer.
•One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. •The most significant risk factors are being a female and getting older. •Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate. •Breast cancer typically strikes women during their most productive years, both professionally and personally. •Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in U.S. women ages 40-59. •Men can get breast cancer, too. One percent of breast cancer diagnosis will be in male patients. — Source: Susan G. Komen for the Cure San Diego

RSF student pursues passion for dance on ‘The X Factor’ BY MEGAN MCVAY Young ambition is about focusing on a goal and not stopping until you reach it. It is about persevering through pain and through failure. It is about dedication, precision and indomitable will. But for 16-year-old, Tanner Clark, it was much more than that. Clark’s career as a signed dancer and a background dancer on “The X Factor” television show began three years ago when his father bought him a gift card to a dance studio. Reluctant to take a class, Clark stepped into Studio 429 months later, completely unaware of his dancing abilities. Soon, the session he deemed to be a one-time experiment evolved into his lifestyle. He began to take weekly break-dancing and hip-hop classes. As he showcased his impressive work ethic and his original dancing style, his instructors took notes and within his first year he was drafted into the studio’s invite-only competition team called “Tru-definition.” Around the same time he was invited to participate in the studio’s production team — and the weekly 18 hours of training that accompanied being a part of two competitive teams. “I was around everyone at the
studio so much that we became like brothers and sisters. Dancing is the type of thing that allows you to become family with the people around you,” said Clark. Clark pushed himself one step ahead of executing perfect routines, as he used his developed style to choreograph them, as well. “Choreography is a skill I had to develop over time. At first I had to learn the basics of dance, but when I became more experienced my creative side began to come into play. But there is no such thing as hitting a peak, you’re never done learning,” said Clark. However, he does mark the summer of 2010 as the zenith of his dancing success thus far. Last year, at the Hip Hop International Competition in Las Vegas, “Trudefinition” decided to use his choreography to Lady Gaga’s “Speechless” for the closing piece. During the U.S preliminary round, the team finished fourth. However, “Tru-definiton” made an unlikely comeback in the U.S finals by winning second place and beating out their older Studio 429 counterparts. He used his choreography skills to not only teach his own team, but also to land a job with So-Cal Dance Studio, teaching in-
Tanner Clark termediate hip-hop classes. He has also taught the Cathedral Catholic High School Dance Team several routines. Transitioning to this careerorientated form of dance, Clark decided to leave Studio 429 this year. “I decided that I wanted to pursue dance as my career and make the industry my life. I want to become more rounded as a dancer. I started to get used to the style from the studio, and now I’m determined to branch out. I’m now taking all my classes online
and am fully committed to dance,” revealed Clark. His journey to a professional dancing career began out at sea, when he embarked on a dancing cruise to the Bahamas called “Monsters of Hip Hop.” On the cruise, the dancers tanned during the day, but when the clock struck 7 p.m. they attended dance classes instructed by Britney Spears’ and Justin Timberlake’s choreographer Kevin Maher and “So You Think You Can Dance” choreographer Marty Kudelka. Kevin Maher recognized Clark’s talent during classes and immediately set him up for auditions in L.A. Within only a few months, Clark was signed by Clear Talent Group, an L.A.-based agency, and was being managed by Brian Friedman, one of Britney Spears’ choreographers and the executive producer of “The X Factor.” Friedman signed Clark up for “The X Factor” background dancer auditions. He and 60 other potential dancers were given 30 minutes to learn a routine before they had to perform in front of five Hollywood producers. Clark had to undergo numerous nerveracking callbacks, but each time the candidates lined up to hear the results, Clark’s number was called until he was finally given

the position. Due to this two-and-a-halfmonth job, where he will be dancing in front of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, he must be on call every day and be prepared to learn as many as six pieces, only two days before taping the show. Stepping up his dedication to the next level, this month he packed his bags and moved from Rancho Santa Fe to his new address in North Hollywood. Clark is a former Canyon Crest Academy student and will now be taking high school classes online. “If there’s something you can’t go a day without thinking about, you have to pursue that with your every ability. You have to give everything you have and strive for what you want to do,” said Clark. With his limitless ambition and unyielding drive, Clark plans to dance his way up to the top, step by step. “I haven’t had a lot of power in my life. I feel like I have been restricted in some ways and I should be heard. Fame is not a bad word. It is something to strive for. You have to work for it and commit yourself to every aspect of it and that is what I’m going to do,” said Clark.

BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Local author Jayne Haines has recently released her first book, “Cry for the Moon,” targeted for 8-12-year-old readers. The book is about a young girl chasing her dream of competing in the equestrian arena. “I think the message is that no dream is too far away to reach,” said Haines. “I know that sounds cliché, but I really think young girls should always believe in their dreams because miracles can happen in the most unlikely ways. Haines has already sold a couple hundred books through Amazon.com and recently held a book-signing event in Los Angeles. While thrilled to see her book in print, published by CreateSpace, Haines also sees it as a vehicle to share her passion with children. “I’m really excited about going to schools and talking to them about writing,” said Haines. “I think that kids can really use writing as an outlet.” “Cry for the Moon” tells the story of eighth grader Portia and her dream of coming to Del Mar to compete in a vaulting competition. The sport of equestrian vaulting is like trick riding — the horse is attached to a halter and is led around in a big circle. The vaulter mounts the horse and performs dance and gymnastics-style tricks atop of it. Like the character Portia, Haines became involved in the sport as a teenager in Scottsdale, Ariz.; Portia lives in fictional Sundale, Ariz. Haines calls the book a “horse story with a kick” because it also includes typical teenage drama like having a crush on the cutest boy in school and being hassled by mean girls, and also touches on family issues as Portia’s father deals with depression. Haines originally came to this area to attend San Diego State University in 1977, but eventually settled in this area in 1993 with her husband and two children, who attended Earl Warren and Cathedral Catholic High School. An avid trail rider, she
Jayne Haines wrote the book ‘Cry for the Moon.’ rides her horse, Fashion, through Carmel Valley’s “beautiful back country” three to four times a week with her riding partner Mika Roberts. As she worked as an advertising copywriter, one of her clients was Pardee Homes and she used her riding experience to sell prospective home buyers on the beautiful surroundings. Haines also wrote feature articles for Young Rider magazine. As she traveled around to equestrian events, she thought more and more about her youth as a vaulter and knew one day she’d like to write a piece of fiction about the sport from a teenage perspective. She was encouraged to take on the task after entering and winning several chapter book and poetry contests. “I thought, well, ‘Maybe I can do this’,” Haines said. Haines received a lot of support for her book from her writing group. She and fellow writers Beth Brust, Stacey Goldblatt and John H. Ritter would meet week-
ly in Del Mar and Solana Beach to discuss and review each other’s work. “I would say definitely anyone interested in writing a book should find a group of writers, other than family, because they will be brutally honest,” Haines said. After spending over a year working on the book it was very satisfying to see the final product printed and bound with cover photography and art by her nieces Julia and Michelle Perkins. Haines most enjoys writing for kids and is already a third of the way through her second book, another horse story named “Whistler,” which is set in Carmel Valley. She hopes to publish it in the spring. While she loves writing children’s books, she would also like to write a book for adults too — she has an idea for one about empty nesting, based on her own experiences as a mother.

Canyon Crest Academy places 3rd in national math contest
Canyon Crest Academy has some of the best high school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by its 3rd-place finish in the 2011 Fall Startup Event, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (www.natassessment.com). Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major competition of the academic year, in which students worked furiously for 30 minutes, racing to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics. With so many questions and so little time, competitors must not only have strong mathematical skills, but also be able to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip. After results from students across the nation were processed, several Canyon Crest Academy students received individual awards, helping their team to place 3rd in the nation. In the 10th-grade division, Brandon Zeng and Paolo Gentili tied for 4th-place; Catherine Wu placed 13th; and Eric Chen was 14th. Thomas Swayze plced 9th in the 11thgrade division; and Henry Maltby and Raymond Wu placed 2nd and 24th respectively in the 12th-grade division. Canyon Crest Academy will be participating in all five of National Assessment & Testing’s contests this year, including the 2011 Team Scramble on Nov. 3 and the 2011 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 8. National Assessment & Testing administers high-quality mathematics competitions that high schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests cover a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, as well as a variety of difficulties, from 100 easy problems in 30 minutes to 15 complex problems in one week.

Larry David Marcus
Profile
Entrepreneur focuses on philanthropy and volunteering to improve environment, help kids, and comfort the dying BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor You never heard of Inwood? That’s OK. Many bornand-bred New Yorkers never heard of it either. It’s a working class neighborhood which at one time was predominantly Jewish and Irish located on the northernmost tip of Manhattan Island, way up there, where subway trains emerge from out of their dark, grungy tunnels into the open air to rattle and sway along on elevated overhead tracks and make a heck of a furnitureshuddering racket for people living in tenements close by. Talk about intelligent land use. That’s where, in one of those one-bedroom tenement apartments, Larry Marcus, local philanthropist, community volunteer and former coowner of 10 TV stations and 34 radio stations, grew up. “It was a tough neighborhood,” he recalls. “On the other side of the tracks. Literally. I had the elevated subway right outside of my window. “You’d have a conversation and in the middle of it (pause), you’d stop — and
you’d wait for the train to go by and then you’d pick right where you left off in the same tone of voice.” We interviewed Marcus in his modern, contemporary California-style home with a view of the ocean instead of a view the New York ‘El’. At 62, Marcus is a compact 5-foot-7 guy, who looks like he benefits well from having a gym in his converted garage and weight-lifting workouts weekly at a local gym. People often tell him he looks like the actor/comedian Mel Brooks, which is OK, but when he was younger, they used to tell him he looked like Burt Reynolds, which was even more OK. Marcus speaks with a nononsense New York accent tempered by having lived and worked for 25 years in St. Louis, Missouri. In New York, his father worked as an optician. “He made eyeglasses. A blue-collar guy, member of the union. Went to work every day. Got his hands dirty.” Marcus had thoughts of becoming a mathematician when he first entered City College in uptown Manhattan. “My head works that

way. Then I realized that there were a lot of people smarter than I in this area and that I wasn’t going to excel; so I moved over to the business school and went for applied mathematics, statistics, economics, and things like that.” He concluded his real talent lay somewhere in the entrepreneurial area. “I had worked all through junior high, high school, college. I always had a job. I had two newspaper routes. I delivered The New York Post in the afternoon and in high school, I was The New York Times marketing representative for my high school. I worked in the library after school. In college, I worked down on Wall Street. I started off as a junior accountant at an import/export firm and rose up the ranks until I was a controller on a part- time basis as a senior. “I was always trying to find a better way to do things,” he said. “Problem solve. To make myself more independent.” Asked his opinion on the current Wall Street protest, he said: “You know, it’s a shame that everybody is trying to ascribe messaging for who they are. I was a child of the ‘60s during the protest era of the ‘60s and I’m sure for them [the young who are currently protesting] there is just a general discontent with the system. That’s what they are expressing. I understand it. I can relate to it. “It’s our responsibility — as the people who are running the system — to give them a better system, to help them find a way into the system. We’ve done a good job of breaking our system. “Non-partisan, no blame assigned. We’re running deficits. We’re borrowing money. We’re not living within our means as a country. We’re making short-sighted decisions, instead of long-term decisions for the health of our future. So I think it’s incumbent upon us to really make some changes in that area. And I think they are that voice.” After earning his undergraduate degree in business administration followed by a master’s at night in computer science from Baruch College of Business, City University of New York, Marcus joined the Washington Post Company, thinking they would assign

him to work as a computer analyst. Instead, they placed him in one of their TV stations, WPLG, the ABC affiliate in Miami, Florida, as its business manager. “I was 26 years old and in three days I knew I had found a home,” he said. “I loved the industry. I loved the creative side as well as the technical side, the ability to influence the community in a positive way, the power of the medium; it struck me; it resonated with me.” The only thing he didn’t like about Miami was the heat. “It nearly killed me,” he said. After two years, he joined a family-owned television company, Koplar Communications, in St. Louis, as the CFO, for about eight years. “And then when the father died, there was a generational shift and two senior executives in the company, myself and another guy, broke off on our own and started our own company, Red City Broadcasting. “Starting literally from two guys in a living room with nothing, we built it into 10 television stations and 34 radio stations in about five years. It was a heck of a run. “The secret was having a good business plan, access to capital, those were the ‘go-go days’ of capital, and surrounding ourselves with very smart, very talented people and allowing them in as partners, so they were working for themselves as well as for the company.” As co-founder of the company, Marcus served as
CFO from its startup in 1989 through its sale to the Sinclair Broadcast Group in 1996. After managing the sale of the company, Marcus went through a divorce, assumed joint custody of his two daughters and when they were in college, moved to San Diego, which had been a dream of his since he was 10 years old and came out for a month in 1959 with his parents who were considering relocating. “For a kid who grew up across the street from the projects, who had the ‘El’ sitting outside his window, I didn’t know such a place existed and I just needed to come back.” “I failed retirement a couple of times now,” he chuckled. “I started another much smaller broadcasting company in 1998 (Peak Media Holdings, which he sold last December) and started really getting involved in philanthropy.” His philanthropy and volunteer work in San Diego includes providing seed money for two fellowships for graduate students at the Equinox Center, which he helped to found three years ago and serves as communications adviser. The Equinox Center, brainchild of former Microsoft executive Aaron Contorer, is a San Diego-based independent, nonprofit, non-partisan “think tank” that researches and advances innovative solutions to balance growth with the county’s use of its natural resources. To various local governments, the Center provides research data on issues involving transportation, smarter land use, greenhouse gas emissions, air quality and water recycling. Marcus works with disadvantaged kids at the Pro Kids Golf Academy, providing mentoring and serving on the scholarships committee. “We’re a 15-year-old organization and we have about 25 kids with college scholarships that come from us,” he said. He is also a hospice volunteer with San Diego Hospice, visiting terminal patients in their homes. He has been doing that for about five years. “As a volunteer, I’m assigned one patient at a time and spend three or four hours with them a week, and just talk to
them. I’m company. I can hold their hand. We can reminisce. They can cry on my shoulder. Whatever it is. We take a walk. We give the caregivers in the families some relief.” What drew him to become a hospice volunteer? “A couple of people in my life that, while they were passing, I found that I could be very meaningful to them; that somewhere in my skillset, sitting with someone whose life was passing in front of them, I was able to be at ease with that. I could speak with them very matterof-factly about things that other people were afraid to talk to them about. “I said, I don’t know what this is inside of me, but it feels like a gift — it’s something I should do something with.” After a pause, he reflected: “It’s hard.” “Being a hospice volunteer, you work with people in their latter stages of life and you get to hear how they speak about their life retrospectively… and they’ll admit the mistakes that they’ve made. And they may admit it to me, whereas they may not admit it to their families because I’m just this neutral observer. I’m kind of like a priest in a way. “One of the things I get from my hospice work is a perspective on what’s really important in life. And I think that’s what Steve Jobs was saying in his commencement address [at Stanford University in 2005] — focusing on what’s important here and don’t let anything else get in the way.” What’s important to Marcus now at this stage of his life, he said, besides his family (He’s now a grandfather) is; “My ability to integrate myself in my new community and do it with philanthropy…trying to make it a better place by taking everything that has come before in my skill-set, the success that I’ve had in business, and making children’s lives better, working on the environment, taking people in their latter stages of life and making this a better place for them. This is what is really important to me now. “You’ve got to give back,” he said. “There are times in one’s life, when you can’t give back, but those of us who can give should, because that’s what life is all about…”

To Your Health: New treatments offer chronic pain relief BY TOMER ANBAR, PHD, SCRIPPS HEALTH From nagging lower back pain and migraine headaches to pain associated with illnesses such as osteoarthritis or work-related injuries, chronic pain affects an estimated 116 million American adults—more than the total affected by heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined, according to a recent study entitled, “Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education, and Research.” Released on June 29, 2011, the study was mandated by Congress and conducted by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Advancing Pain Research, Care, and Education. Chronic pain is defined as pain that continues for three months or more beyond the usual recovery period; often, it persists for months or years. The pain can be disabling enough to interfere with work, school, or even the simplest everyday activities. It often contributes to sleep and sexual problems, irritable bowel disease, hypertension, depression, chronic fatigue, disability and withdrawal from family and friends. The largest health epidemic in the United States, chronic pain costs the nation at least $560 billion annually. Moreover, this conservative estimate does not include costs associated with pain in children or military personnel. Because of the epidemic proportions of the pain crisis, the IOM has called for coordinated, national efforts of public and private organizations to create a cultural transformation in how we understand and approach pain management and prevention. Pain is more than a physical symptom, and is not always resolved by curing the underlying condition. Persistent pain can cause changes in the nervous system and become a dis-
tinct chronic disease. Moreover, people’s experience of pain can be influenced by genes, cultural attitudes toward hardships, stress, depression, ability to understand health information, and other behavioral, cultural, and emotional factors. According to the study, all too often, prevention and treatment of pain are delayed, inaccessible, or inadequate. Patients, health care providers, and our society need to overcome misperceptions and biases about pain. We have effective tools and services to tackle the many factors that influence pain, and we need to apply them quickly. Successful treatment, management, and prevention of pain require an integrated approach that responds to all the factors that influence pain, the study concluded. For over 20 years we have been educating patients, insurance carriers and health care providers that to effectively treat chronic pain, treatment must go beyond the traditional pharmaceutical, physical therapy and surgical approaches to embrace the comprehensive care of a patient, taking into account the biological, psychological, and social components of chronic pain. This is the only scientifically validated form of rehabilitation for chronic pain, and has been adopted as law in California for persistent pain due to a work-related injury. The national guidelines of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) and the Official Disability Guidelines (ODG), refer to this “evidence-based” care as the only “treatment of choice” for chronic pain. The IOM study further outlines that “health care providers, insurers, and the public need to understand that although pain is universal, it is experienced uniquely by each person and care –which often requires a combina-
tion of therapies and coping techniques — must be tailored.” According to the report, many health care professionals are not adequately prepared to provide the full range of pain care or to guide patients in self-managing chronic pain. For example, a recent study found that only five of the nation’s 133 medical schools have required courses on pain and just 17 offer elective courses. Individualized care requires adequate time to counsel patients and families, consultation with multiple providers, and often more than one form of therapy. Treatment varies greatly depending on a number of factors, including the cause of the pain, the patient’s medical history and medication tolerance, and his or her lifestyle; for example, some pain relievers may cause drowsiness that prevents a patient from driving or working. Traditionally, doctors have recommended an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, as the first line of attack. If these are not effective, the next step may be a prescription-strength pain reliever, such as acetaminophen combined with codeine, or oxycodone. While these powerful narcotic medications may relieve pain, they can also contribute to the chronic pain epidemic as described in the national ACOEM guidelines, as well as carrying a risk of addiction and side effects. To reverse the chronic pain epidemic, increasing numbers of doctors, patients and employers are searching out evidence-based multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs, and carriers are increasingly paying for such programs as mandated by regulations. With this most recent endorsement of Congress, the National Institutes of Health, and the Institute of Medicine, we anticipate seeing increasing num-

RSF resident’s thriving C’est La Vie Antiques reflects passion for European treasures BY KELLEY CARLSON After Sara Wardrip makes a trip to France, she brings home more than a souvenir or two. She returns with enough antiques to fill a warehouse. Wardrip is the owner of C’est La Vie Antiques, a 6,000-square-foot store in Encinitas that sells objects exclusively from Europe. “I’ve always been attracted to antiques,” Wardrip said. “I love having them around.” Her passion for these relics first developed while working in a French antique store during her days at the University of British Columbia in Canada. Wardrip’s interest never wavered, even after the Vancouver, B.C., native moved to San Diego in 1981 to earn a degree in journalism at San Diego State University. She graduated in 1984 and landed a job in marketing, developing skills that would help her years later. Meanwhile, Wardrip kept antiques in her home and was constantly switching them out. “I seemed to be making money on the pieces,” she said. This fact was noted by Wardrip’s husband, Eric, who suggested that she start a business, with his support. Wardrip decided to focus on Europe as the location to obtain rarities. “I was really intrigued (with Europe),” she said. “I was always fond of French antiques, and I loved the style. It was a natural tie together. I wanted to get out and use (antiques) as an excuse.” So in 1998, Wardrip talked her spouse — who speaks fluent French and is knowledgeable in several other languages — into traveling to another continent. The trip proved to be a success — the Wardrips came back with a 40-foot shipping container full of English and French antiques, holding about 100 pieces of furniture. Sara Wardrip first set up shop in the Antique Warehouse on South Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach, but it wasn’t long before “stuff was spilling out,” she said. A larger space

Ireland at a recent event held at C’est La Vie. opened on Camino del Mar in Del Mar, which would be C’est La Vie’s home for about two years. But the business kept growing, and it was relocated to an even bigger warehouse off Miramar Road in San Diego. Over the next six years, Wardrip mostly sold to dealers and designers by appointment; the store was open to the public one day each week. In 2006, C’est La Vie finally settled in its current location in Encinitas, where customers can find an eclectic collection of imported items for sale. There are limestone fireplaces, fountains, large French iron gates, arched windows, French entry doors, patio tables, outside pots, an 18th century Italian walnut armoire, crystal chandeliers and much more.
The Wardrips make the journey to France twice a year to hand-select items for their business. The buying trips always start in Paris, Sara Wardrip said. “It’s a good gauge to see what’s popular,” Wardrip said. “Paris is very much a compass for design.” Antique fairs are another mandatory stop for purchases, where dealers from all over the world sell their wares. “I love mixing the different looks,” Wardrip said. The couple travel all over France for the antiques, and make sure to add a little pleasure to their business trip. “We’re always searching for great hotels, restaurants, wineries,” Sara Wardrip said. “We’ve had a great time doing this together.” She added that it’s not all fun and games — the Wardrips are often awake and working at 6 a.m., and return to their accommodations later in the evening covered in dirt and dust. “But it’s fun work,” Sara Wardrip said. “It’s so much fun to find treasures. (Eric) has become very knowledgeable in antiques. We’re very careful about what we buy; we like having a great hobby together.” She noted that she purchases pieces she loves and would want in her own house, and doesn’t necessarily follow trends. When not traveling or in the store, the Wardrips live in Rancho Santa Fe with their 3-year-old daughter Elizabeth, and son Edward, 21, a student at New York University. Sara Wardrip is also busy making future plans for C’est La Vie. She is planning a book signing and lecture series featuring top U.S. interior designers. Among those C’est La Vie has already hosted are Kathryn M. Ireland and Betty Lou Phillips. C’est La Vie Antiques is located at 565 Westlake St., Suite 300A, in Encinitas, and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by appointment.

LCC Mavericks/RSF residents ‘Dig for Pink and Raise some Green’ A recent girls volleyball match at La Costa Canyon High School where the Mavericks swept El Camino in three straight games was dedicated to raise money for the Sideout Foundation to fund research in finding a cure for breast cancer. LCC joined hundreds of high school and college volleyball teams across the nation during the month of October (breast cancer awareness month) to host a “Dig Pink” match. “This is our 4th annual Dig Pink match at LCC, and so far we have raised over $5,400 to help find a cure for breast cancer,” said Cosy Burnett, a junior outside hitter for LCC and RSF resident. Each year the Dig Pink night is planned, organized, and completely run by the girls. This year, the girls decided to do pledges to make the game more exciting. For example, Blair Boyer, a middle blocker had $50 riding on
each kill and block she made which would be donated to the Sideout Foundation. “It was a great way to get all three teams involved in the cause and we had so much fun calculating what each dig, set, kill, ace or block was worth for breast cancer research. We were all just pulling for each other.” Cosy added as she explained that the varsity girls took stats for the JV and freshman team pledges while they cheered them on. Walking into the LCC gym on Wednesday was a surprise with pink draped everywhere with posters, balloons, tshirts, socks and of course lots of ribbons. “Statistics show that one in every nine women will contract breast cancer sometime in their life. It’s incredible to think that we can help find a cure to this disease by working hard and doing something we love. The support from the community was outstanding and we are honored to be a
part of something so wonderful,” said Karlee Fuller, a senior outside hitter at LCC who will be playing for Yale next fall. Another change this year was to enlist the help of students not on the team. Sarah Jenson, a senior at LCC, helped organize the event by making posters and working with the American Cancer Society to have information at the match on Breast Cancer. “It worked out great because I was able to work at the booth with my friend Jeanette where we accepted donations, gave out information on Breast Cancer and pink cookies. We sold T-shirts during the game when all the girls were, of course, busy playing.” Overall, the evening was a great success, raising not only money and awareness, but the girls’ spirits as well. Cosy sums it up by saying, “This was so much fun, we’re already planning next year.”

Community and family-focused activities are in high demand By Erin Weidner, Executive director RSF Community Center For those of you who missed out on last week’s Group/Family Paddleboard Sunset Paddle don’t worry: We’ll be doing it quarterly. Our group of about 30 people included families with young kids, individual members, couples and parents with adult children. We watched the sun set over the Cardiff Reef while we ate, and then drove the couple of minutes home to RSF.

Volunteer opportunities with our Rancho Youth We have had numerous requests from members and parents for a way that their high school or college-age students can earn community service hours. As a result, we’ve created our Junior Rec. Leader program, but space is limited. The Junior Rec. Leader will be paired one-on-one with our terrific Recreation Leaders here at the Community Center. They’ll get the chance to lead field games, playground time, study time and work with our Rancho Youth. Sponsor a Team for Boys Junior Dunkers Remember what it was like when you saw your parents’, or grandparents’ company on the back of your team’s jersey? Well, here’s your chance to build that memory with this next generation. So far we’ve had families, grandparents, businesses and foundations sign up to sponsor a BJD team. We’ll have around 22 teams playing three times a week to a packed house at the Holcomb Gym and here at the RSFCC Gym. There are about 9-10 sponsorships left at $300 each which can include a logo in addition to the team’s name.

We’re working on a drop-in volleyball, men’s weekend basketball league, a ballroom dance class that looks like it will start with a dozen people, and a walking group. We’ve been asked for a weekly drop-in stretching session before they hit the trails for all those walkers and runners who park in the village as flexibility is an essential part of lifelong fitness. Whew! Thank you for all your suggestions and help in these last few months. We’ve made great strides. I can always use a helping hand, a champion for an individual program or a volunteer, so please don’t hesitate to send me an email (EWeidner@RSFCC.org) or stop by “your” Community Center. — Erin Weidner

Wide variety of entries submitted to CCA’s upcoming MiniCine Fest BY KAREN BILLING Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Make a fiveminute “spooky funny” film. You have 48 hours. And it has to be about insects. And include the line “What’s that smell?” This filmmaking challenge was thrown down by Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Cinema students to all of the San Dieguito High School District last weekend to raise money for their program. The humorous, horror-lite results will be shown on the big screen at the MiniCine Fest to be held at Canyon Crest Academy on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 6 p.m. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and tickets are $5. As the competition was open to the entire district, films screened on Saturday will represent CCA, Torrey Pines, Earl Warren Middle School and Carmel Valley Middle School. Sixteen teams, at a maximum of four kids per team, submitted shorts. “I was impressed by the scope of kids we got, it was really surprising that we received as many entries as we did,” said CCA senior Hunter Peterson, who ran the competition with juniors Amanda Cowles and Zac Brown. A winner will be selected by a student-panel of judges who did not have films in the competition. There will also be a prize given for the Audience Choice, by a ballot vote. Both winners will receive tickets to Del Mar Highlands’ Cinepolis. The MiniCine planners were inspired by similar-timed contests run by the school’s art conservatory and the national BestFest America’s 48Hours of Madness Student Film Competition. Giving contestants just 48 hours makes a film competition a lot more interesting, Peterson said. Rules and guidelines for the competition were sent out to entrants on Friday, Oct. 14, so the young filmmakers had no lead time on generating ideas or preparing a script. “The restrictions were loose enough that we received a lot of different movies,” said Zac. “They varied from documentary style to traditional style narratives to a play on a
filmed at a Solana Beach home and were then up until 3 a.m. editing. “The time limit is scary…When you only have 48 hours you don’t spend a single second doing anything else up until the deadline,” Amanda said. The students said they are grateful to have the kind of equipment and guest-teaching artists they have at CCA, but fundraising events, like MiniCine, are important to keep bringing those artists and to replace aging equipment. All students have access to use the school’s equipment. “Most high schools don’t have what we do, it’s amazing,” said Hunter. “But at the same time we’re still trying to push to be better.” “All public schools are struggling,” added Amanda. “We’re lucky to have private school opportunities at a public school.” To learn more about CCA’s Envision program or MiniCine, visit sduhsd.net/cc/.

Hunter’s entry was an interview with the Grim Reaper while Zac did a spin on a TV drama about a pumpkin that’s infested by insects. Films were also required to be PG-13, no violence and no blood. “We wanted to make the festival family friendly so everyone can watch and enjoy the films,” Hunter said. The time crunch of just 48 hours to do all the work was challenging—especially for Hunter, who had to “double team” his camera equipment with his brother who also entered the competition.

Ellen Browning Scripps: Still transforming lives “The most important and beautiful gift one human being can give to another is, in some way, to make life a little better to live.” — Ellen Browning Scripps, Founder Scripps Memorial Hospital/Scripps Metabolic Clinic, 1924
Ellen Browning 2011 PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERSHIPS
{ COMMUNITY } { EDUCATION }
{ ANIMALS } BY DAVE SCHWAB Contributor It’s difficult to exaggerate Ellen Browning Scripps’ continuing legacy of giving. One need only look around the San Diego region to see her impact. Speaking of the iconic philanthropist for whom hospitals, schools and recreation and science centers are named, Lori Bettison-Varga, president of Scripps College said, “She really was contemporary if you look at all the different things she was involved in, how she changed the world in so many different areas.” The women’s college of The Claremont Colleges in eastern Los Angeles County was established in 1926 with a donation from the teacherturned-businesswoman who, one biography of her says “put funds aside as ‘a trust for the benefit of humanity.’” Ellen Browning Scripps was born Oct. 18, 1836 in London and came to America with her father, a prominent bookbinder, in 1844. After growing up on an Illinois farm, she invested what savings she had to help her brother James start The Detroit News — the first of the family’s newspaper ventures. Ahead of her time Miss Ellen, as she is still affectionately known, became wealthy in her own right and was heir to the fortune created by her halfbrother, E.W. Scripps, who founded the Scripps newspaper chain, and her brother George H. Scripps. She retired and moved to La Jolla in 1896, where, during the last 35 years of her life, she bestowed gifts on the community. She died in 1932 at age 96, but in 2011 her philanthropic legacy still touches more than 50 organizations. “This little woman was so far ahead of her time, she was not just a visionary —

she made it happen,” said Doug Dawson, executive director of the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation, the shepherd of her legacy. In assessing the magnitude of Miss Scripps’ influence then — and now — Dawson asked, “Who touched more lives of San Diegans and visitors?” Look around La Jolla: the Woman’s Club, the La Jolla Public Library (from which the La Jolla Historical Society was founded), The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Recreation Center, Children’s Pool and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. She also offered financial aid to build many La Jolla churches and contributed to La Jolla High School. Scripps also gave generously throughout San Diego, including donations to the Natural History Museum, the San Diego Zoo, and the Zoological Garden and Research Laboratory in Balboa Park. Suburban Scripps Ranch in San Diego derives its name from E.W. Scripps and his half-sister Ellen who built a 2,100-acre ranch there in 1891. Today an elementary school there bears her name. Still transforming lives One of her greatest gifts, said Dawson, is that “she gave us the internationally famous Scripps Healthcare System that almost 90 years later transforms medicine, saves lives and is one of the largest employers in our region.” Chris Van Gorder, president/CEO of Scripps Health,
noted the seed Miss Ellen planted in 1924 when she donated the funds to establish the Scripps Metabolic Clinic (now Scripps Clinic) and Scripps Memorial Hospital on Prospect Street. Today the health system has more than 13,000 employees and 2,600 physicians. “It’s hard to imagine San Diego without Scripps: the millions of patients we have cared for — the scientific discoveries we have developed, the physicians and other clinicians we have trained, and the thousands of people we have employed over the years,” Van Gorder wrote in an e-mail. “We believe Miss Ellen’s legacy is ours to protect and to carry forward … Our job is to meet the health care needs of our community as Miss Ellen wanted us to do with her very generous gift … We continue to do that today and will for many generations to come.” Shy but generous Miss Ellen Browning Scripps’ modesty was as renowned as her generosity — though far less acknowledged. “Although the Scripps name became a symbol of great philanthropic efforts undertaken in the community during the early 20th century, the donations were never made for the sake of impressing others or for self-recognition,” said Carol Olten of La Jolla Historical Society. “Indeed, in many philanthropic efforts Miss Scripps re-
quested to remain anonymous. The attachment of the Scripps name to buildings, institutions and educational facilities often came at the suggestion of the recipient rather than the giver.” A case in point, noted Olten, was the dedication of the Cove park as Ellen Scripps

Park in 1927. Olten said during the dedication ceremony, as she celebrated her 91st birthday, Miss Scripps noted her only regret was that her name — which she described as having one little ironical vowel buried in its six barbaric Nordic consonants —“makes a combination un-
fitted for the name of a thing of joy and beauty.” The keeper of the flame for all things Scripps is Judy Harvey Sahak, director of the Ella Strong Denison Library of Scripps College. “We have 40 file cabinets full, quite a large collection, consulted frequently by researchers and family members about her life,” she said.

Newly appointed board member Tom Chino requested that both the current and past audits be placed on the fair board’s November agenda for discussion. Chino, who declined to comment before the next board meeting, submitted a statement to the board noting that he had reviewed an audit report for 2007, and also a draft report for a 2008-09 audit. (Day said the new audit will cover 2009-10.) “The contents of these reports causes me great concern over allegations that the district has not complied with governing laws and regulations in several important areas and that large amounts of money are at issue,” said Chino’s statement. A spokesman with the California Department of Food and Agriculture wrote in an email to this newspaper that, “The current audit is in draft form and will be
FAIR continued from page 1 Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, both of whom have expressed concern about the possibility of heightened traffic due to a lengthened fair run. On the contrary, fair officials have suggested the measure may reduce traffic by spreading it out over more days. Heebner said she’s “disappointed to have two more days of inconvenience,” but she looks forward to fair officials’ commitment to work together to solve the traffic problem, which brings business
from the behavior of the fire. “We learned that dead palm fronds are like Frisbees in wind, they fly for miles and they can start other fires,” Michel said. In response, the district has added new requirements for homeowners to trim and maintain palm trees. Because of observations that mulch used as ground cover caught fire during the wildfires, homeowners are now required to keep mulch at least a foot from their homes. The district also works to enforce longstanding requirements to keep vegetation trimmed and managed
at least 100 feet from homes. While wildfires can strike at any time of year, Michel said the fall, when hot, dry Santa Ana winds occur, can be a particularly dangerous time. Meteorologists have predicted two moderate “wind events” for this fall in Southern California, said Michel, and fire authorities, including Rancho Santa Fe fire officials, monitor weather forecasts on a daily basis. Over the spring and summer, the district works to enforce brush-clearing and weed-abatement rules, along with updating training and conducting drills for firefighters, Michel said.
available when final.” The 2007 audit report, which was posted on a state public records website in January 2010, listed four areas of “reportable conditions that are considered weaknesses in the fair’s operations.” “Over a three-year period, the Fair improperly allowed its employees to cash out more than $244,000 of compensated leave hours, such as vacation and annual leave,” said the report. The 22nd District Agricultural Association, the public agency that runs the fairgrounds for the state, allowed managers, supervisors and certain other classes of employees to cash out a maximum of 80 hours of leave each year, even though state policy only allowed a maximum of 40 hours under a onetime program. Further, the report said the fairgrounds hadn’t followed its own policy, allowing employees to cash out more than 80 hours annually. During one calendar year, the audit report said, one employee cashed out 508 hours and one employee cashed out 344 hours. In a response signed by fairgrounds general manager Tim Fennell and then-board president Kelly Burt, the of-
ficials defended the practice. “Because the District has sufficient cash to fund this liability, management believes that it is prudent to pay out leave on a case by case basis. This helps employees who face financial hardships, and decreases the financial liability of the District,” the response said. “We strongly believe this is in the best interest of the employer and the employee who faces financial hardships including the loss of the job of their spouse, threat of loss of their home, or health issues to name just a few examples,” said the response. The other three “reportable conditions” listed in the state audit report were: Board member benefits during fairtime, courtesy pass limitation, and temporary employees. The report noted that the fair provided board members with some $12,460 in concert tickets, and $42,641 in catered dinners to board members and their guests during the fair, without proper documentation for the dinners. In their response, fair officials cited a new ticket policy designed to meet Fair Political Practices Commission regulations, and wrote
that the buffet dinners were provided not only for board members, but for fair sponsors, local, county and state representatives, promoters, livestock judges, visiting fair managers, Western Fairs Association members, and even underprivileged families. Day said any audit will uncover issues that may need further review, but that he does not believe there are significant problems in the way the fairgrounds is run. Each year, he said, the fairgrounds has two audits — one a financial audit by an outside accounting firm, and an operational audit by state agriculture officials. “The overall financial health of the district and the management practices of the district are very solid,” Day said. Chino is one of five new board members appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown in August. The five new board members replace five others appointed by previous governors who were dismissed by Brown over the summer. According to the fairgrounds, another preBrown appointee, director Michael Alpert, resigned Oct. 11, leaving the board one member short of its full complement.
in Solana Beach to a near halt. “We see a sharp decline in business during the fair because people just want to go home after. They don’t want to go shopping down Cedros,” she said, adding that Del Mar may not take as big of a hit because it offers more restaurants, which may be appealing to those looking to go out to eat after the fair. Heebner said it 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 associa-
tion’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 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.”
Now the district is trying to keep up with weather trends and forecasts to prepare for high winds that could spread wildfires. One worry is that because of last winter’s higher than average rainfall, wild grass grew taller, which becomes a potential fire hazard once it dries out. If fire officials learn that severe wind is forecast, extra crews can be put on standby or called to duty, Michel said. “The fire district will continue to strive to meet its goal of having a fire-safe community,” said Michel.
FORUM continued from page 1 perspective on such questions as “how did the universe emerge,” “what is the connection between mind and brain,” and “is God an illusion?” Bennet said that before he read the book, he had expected the two authors to reach common ground on a number of issues. But after his reading, he came to the opposite conclusion. “It really felt like a war. In fact, there is no peace at the end of the book,” Bennet said. Chopra, a physician who founded the Chopra Center for Well-Being in La Jolla in the 1990s, and later moved the center to Carlsbad, credits science with many advancements that have improved the quality of life for humans. Where it falls short, he said, is its lack of purpose or morality, which has led to such evils as biological warfare and global warming. “These are the gifts of science, that does not have any values,” Chopra said. Mlodinow countered that “science is knowledge,” and that, “If people want to use the truth that science discovers for evil, that will always be a possibility.” According to the foreward of “War of the Worldviews,” the two writers met at a conference at the California Institute of Technology, on the topic of “the future of God.” After that, the two began speaking together at a number of public events, and decided to “have it out” in the book, which was published by Harmony Books earlier this month. Each writer said he believes it takes courage to espouse his worldview; Chopra said he had been criticized over the years for his theories on spirituality and healing, and Mlodinow for delivering “bad news” on such topics as death and free will. Mlodinow said he believes all living things are governed by immutable laws of nature and physics, rather than free will, and that he does not believe in a soul or the afterlife. “Nobody really wants to hear that,” he said. “If we don’t have free will, let’s forget about global warming and all be doomed to extinction,” retorted Chopra. While he doesn’t necessarily expect to convert readers to his way of thinking, Mlodinow said he hopes the book will help explain the scientific way of looking at the world. Science can explain such things as sunsets and tides, but for those who seek understanding of love, compassion or evil, “that’s where you should look to spiritual endeavors for your issues.” Chopra said science devoid of spirituality won’t solve the world’s problems, but that, “Science based on intent that values life can save this planet,” he said.

San Diego cuisine with views of the sea, now that’s George’s at the Cove BY DANIEL K. LEW here are three elements to any restaurant: The people, the food and the environment,” said George Hauer, owner of George’s at the Cove. But what he and his staff have done is take those elements and elevate them to an unique dining experience by building three different places in one, on three separate floors — California Modern, George’s Bar, and Ocean Terrace — all of which are highlighted by panoramic ocean views. Open for 27 years, George’s at the Cove has gone through many physical and menu changes at its prime location overlooking La Jolla Cove, but what remains constant is Hauer’s goal to create an establishment that reflects San Diego’s people, food and environment. “The food represents what we think is San Diego cuisine,” he said. George’s prides itself on serving a seasonal menu filled with sustainable, local ingredients in both its vegetables and meats. “Our philosophy revolves around using as many local ingredients as possible,” said Hauer who pointed out that his chefs make daily visits to the famous Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe. The restaurant gathers its produce from Chino Farm to such an extent that some of the menu items are named after the highly regarded farm, like Chino Farms Minestrone, a seasonal soup with condiments, or Chino Farms Carrot Salad with Indian-spiced yogurt, crushed almonds, tangerine, cilantro, and

We are sourcing the best products.” George’s at the Cove is grounded on its first floor by California Modern, an upscale contemporary restaurant headed by nationally recognized chef Trey Foshee. Foshee’s unique twist on fish tacos, a San Diego staple, even caught the attention of The Food Network, which featured George’s “Fish Tacos” on its “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” show. The California Modern menu lists “Fish Tacos” (named with quotation marks) as “Hard to explain, just try it.” George’s reinvents this classic by breaking down a fish taco’s traditional ingredients and serving it “inverted.” Raw, yellowfin tuna
George’s unique “Fish Tacos” gain notoriety on The Food Network. are cut into small discs, acting as the outside layer (instead of a tortilla), and rolled in crushed corn nuts to give it corn flavor and some crunch. The bite-sized, tuna-disc tacos are wrapped around a mixture of diced tuna tartare, jalapeño-mayonnaise aioli and lime juice. They are then rested on beer-battered avocado with a cool creme sauce, cilantro, cabbage, radish, and lime slices. California Modern’s selection of entrees feature Foshee’s contemporary take on popular seafood and meat choices, including Porcini Glazed Bone in Halibut, Pacific Albacore, Smoked Maine Lobster, Jidori Chicken, Niman Ranch Pork Chop, and Niman Ranch 21-Day Dry-Aged Strip Steak. The spacious, indoor dining room includes metallic, dark green, gray and wooden tones to evoke a modern look. Patrons also have a choice of green sofa-like seating with back pillows along the entire length of a wall, or curved, gray retro-modern chairs.
But California Modern’s main feature is its seaside view — four, acrylic-edged windows appear like giant-framed photographs of the ocean. “Still, after 27 years, I find it hypnotic to look at … I pinch myself, to think that we have a beautiful business with this as our viewpoint everyday,” Hauer said. Guests who want a similar but different view of the ocean can go to the second floor, occupied by George’s Bar. This area serves a bistro-style menu and includes indoor or balcony seating with a Pacific breeze. Ocean Terrace, the third floor of George’s at the Cove, is popular with locals and tourists alike, for those seeking a rooftop dining and bar experience. The sense of hovering over La Jolla Cove with grand views of the ocean is best accentuated on this outside level. George’s bistro-style menu is also served here and features George’s Famous Soup with smoked chicken, broccoli and black beans. Other menu items include Marinated
Grilled Fresh Fish Tacos (made the traditional way), Spaghetti with Clams, Niman Ranch Pork Milanese, and Grilled Vegetable Skewer with Tabbouleh Salad. Both George’s Bar and Ocean Terrace also serve lunchtime sandwiches, such as Grilled Niman Ranch Beef Burger, Grilled Eggplant Panini, The Cuban, and Blackened Seasonal Fish Sandwich. With its close relationship with Chino Farm, George’s has a vegetarian menu featuring seasonal items as both entrees and sides. Every level of George’s has its own bar, and the three-in-one establishment employs its own mixologist, who creates seasonal drinks with local ingredients, such as the Berry Blast, a 120-calorie “skinny cocktail,” made with muddled strawberries, blueberries and raspberries combined with Bacardi Rum. The drink menu also features house-infused vodkas and an extensive wine list of more than 300 selections from California and international. California Modern, George’s Bar, and Ocean Terrace each offer a different vibe, and Hauer describes the overall experience as “a very relaxed space with positive energy. The service staff is knowledgeable; the people who work here are experienced servers — they know the products, they know how to pair wines and foods and guide you through the dining experience. At the same time, they try to have fun; it’s not a stuffy environment — there’s a lot of personality that goes into it.”

Mingei brings Craft Revolution to Pacific Standard Time BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor The art event of the year is Pacific Standard Time, a grand collaboration of museums and galleries around Southern California that celebrates four fertile decades (1945-1980) of California art. Spearheaded by L.A.’s Getty Foundation, PST includes major exhibitions by two San Diego museums — the Museum of Contemporary Art’s “Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface” and the Mingei’s “San Diego’s Craft Revolution: From Post-War Modern to California Design,” which opened Oct.16. From Bauhas-influenced mid-century modernism to a more playful approach to the making of furniture, ceramics and “body ornaments” in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the Mingei’s crafty exposé of local talent features some 250 pieces by 69 San Diegans who were part of the emerging art scene around the world. Craft Revolution curator Dave Hampton is a passionate collector and longtime documenter of San Diego’s visual arts community, whose latest publication, “San Diego’s Craft Revolution,” was released to coincide with the exhibit. He is especially interested in
‘One of Douglas Deeds’ Beer-Can Chairs, c. 1960. PHOTOS: MAURICE HEWITT
members of a group called the Allied Craftsmen, still in existence, but notably prominent from the late ‘40s to late ‘70s because of its relationship with the San Diego Museum of Art, then known as the Fine Arts Gallery. At a preview of the show, Hampton talked about how postwar modernists in San Diego were an “esthetic minority” in the days when abstract art was more often loathed than admired. So craftspeople banded together to encourage each other and help San Diegans understand the new forms of art. Every piece in the show has a story behind it. Among the earlier
works are experimental photographs and a short color film that looks like a precursor of ‘60s light shows by Lynn Fayman, three-time president of La Jolla Museum of Art and husband of local arts patron Danah Fayman. There are well-turned wooden bowls and an elegant lamp by craftspeople in the Lemurian Fellowship, a community of folks based in Ramona since 1941 who believe in received wisdom from the lost continents of Mu and Atlantis. The exhibit shows practical stoneware giving way to abstract ceramics in the 1950s, when form was more valued than function. And then came the ‘60s, when
anything was possible. Fast Fact: Douglas Deeds’ circa-1960 beer-can chairs preceded Andy Warhol’s pop-art soup cans by about two years. Not-So-Fast Fact: In 1967, Windandsea surfer and board-shaper Carl Eckstrom joined forces with Svetozar “Toza” Radakovich, an established sculptor/jeweler from Yugoslavia, in a confluence of SoCal and European sensibilities that produced a sleek set of polyurethane/fiberglass doors. These Double Doors, newly buffed for the exhibit by Eckstrom, are on loan from the Bay Area home they have adorned for more than 40 years. “Intergenerational, intercultural collaboration was characteristic of the Allied Craftsmen community,” Hampton said. “And this show is really a story that leads to the Mingei. It starts with Martha Longenecker and other studio artists of her generation going off to interact with artists from other countries. That exchange of cultural influences is what led to the founding of the Mingei.” The event, “Early Evening at the Mingei,” with cocktails, jazz and midcentury crafts, runs 6-9 p.m. Friday, Oct 21. The exhibit remains to April 15. (619) 2390003. www.mingei.org

Whale of a Tale: Flip Nicklin’s book takes you ‘Among Giants’ BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Contributor Although “Among Giants� is the title of the 192page book replete with photos and tales of the world’s greatest creatures – whales – it is also an apt label for the book’s author, Charles “Flip� Nicklin, among the world’s giants in nature photography. Currently in his fourth decade as a top whale and dolphin photographer for National Geographic, Nicklin has been touring the country to promote his book since its release in April, and an exhibition of his exceptional photos can be seen at the San Diego Natural History Museum until Dec. 31. While “Among Giants: A Life with Whales� is the 10th book featuring Nicklin’s work, the book is his most personal to date, with reflections on a career that began when his father Chuck opened a diving store in La Jolla in 1959 and rode a whale in 1963 in a photo that captured the country’s imagination. “At first, I was trying to tell about the changing view on whales over time,� said the 63-year-old Nicklin. “Everything from the myth and magic of whales to the biological study. But it became more of a biography and memoir. I wanted to get this out while my mother and father were still around and tell the bigger part of the family story.�
Charles ‘Flip’ Nicklin

Nicklin’s family story has a life of its own, one that parallels the story of San Diego itself. According to the San Diego History Center, Nicklin’s great-great grandfather was Philip Crosthwaite, a local businessman, civic leader and seafarer who fought in the Battle of San Pasqual in 1846. One of Nicklin’s ancestors was a soldier who accompanied Father Junipero Serra during his excursions
into California. “I’m eighth generation (in San Diego),� Nicklin said. “We have a saying in the family — ‘We didn’t come to the U.S. The U.S. came to us.’ � Some of the family stories, such as Crosthwaite’s observations that the whales that filled San Diego Bay in the 1840s had disappeared by the 1880s, can be found in the book, Nicklin said. Nicklin gave a presentation titled, “The History of Whaling in San Diego,� and signed books at the San Diego History Center on Oct. 4, drawing 100 people. “For a book signing, that was a very highly attended program for us,� said Gabe Selak, public programs manager for the history center. “(Nicklin) is a fascinating person and a dynamic storyteller. He knows how to weave words and emotions so that you feel you’re part of the story. It was a complete immersive experience.� Despite the appeal of Nicklin’s family story, the book focuses on the life of whales and Nicklin’s mesmerizing interactions among them through 18 specific National Geographic projects out of the many in his career, Nicklin said. Nicklin’s work with whales spans the corresponding rise in the cultural, scientific and social interest in the ocean’s behemoths. For example, Nicklin said there were only 2,000 humpback

S
well as his recordings of whale songs, had an indelible impact on the effort to save whales and marine life by bringing their beauty to the public’s awareness. That fact is left to the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), which will recognize Nicklin as its Outstanding Photographer of the Year this March. “Flip is probably the world’s foremost whale photographer,� stated NANPA president Bill Plunkett by email. “His work to help save these majestic creatures is so important that NANPA felt it appropriate to name him the Outstanding Photographer of the Year for 2012. We are all in Flip’s debt for making it possible for all of us to enjoy and marvel at the wonders of his subjects.� Although Nicklin acknowledges the difficulty of his work, requiring 100 hours in the water to get four good hours with whales, he views himself

whales in existence in 1979, when he had just begun his career. The species has since recovered to about 20,000 today, but Nicklin argues that the biggest test to whales’ survival lies ahead. “Will we appreciate those animals when they’re successful as when they were endangered?� Nicklin said. “The book is not a sermon to make people feel bad. Most of the book is an exciting adventure tale. “But whales are a great way to focus on bigger issues. We don’t have a choice anymore. If you want to have whales around, there are some tough questions to be asked and answered. You can’t save whales without saving krill (a major food source for whales) and everything else. You can’t just save animals that are cute, eat animals that are tasty, and kill animals that are ugly and expect a functioning system.� What Nicklin won’t say is that his photographs, as

merely as a journalist who accompanied the whale scientists and researchers that deserve the lion’s share of the credit for bringing the whale to prominence. “I was just being their eyes in the water,� Nicklin said. “You’ve got to tell a story. If the photo doesn’t capture everything, you still have to have a story. One researcher said that in the last 25 years, it’s like we discovered a new continent. It’s up to the next generation to explore it. This book is to inspire the next generation.� Nicklin splits his time between Juneau, Alaska, “a very good place for 5’4� redheads,� where he met his wife, and Maui, Hawaii, where he helped found the Whale Trust in 2001 to spur and support ongoing whale and marine life research. Out of the life of whales, the life of his family history and the life of his art, Nicklin created a life of his own. “Now it’s about being a conduit for young people, to be a mentor,� Nicklin said. “But I doubt they’re going to have any more fun that I did ... When you go out (into the field), you know what you’re doing, you have a hypothesis, but it takes years to prove it. That was frustrating. But Jim Darling (Whale Trust co-founder) once said to me, how cool is it to know the world is different than what people think it is, and they don’t know it yet and you do. It’s been a good ride.�

Author’s thriller novels lead to USO tour for troop visits BY MARTI GACIOCH Staff Writer Former local resident Andy Peterson, now best-selling author of the thrillers “First to Kill” and “Forced to Kill,” will join four other suspense writers for Operation Thriller, a week-long USO tour, to visit troops in the Middle East this fall. Peterson, along with Clive Cussler, Sandra Brown, Kathy Reichs and Mark Bowden, will discuss books, movies, and writing; sign autographs and pose for photos with service personnel. “We’ll probably spend five or Andy Peterson, six nights in varauthor of ‘First to Kill’ ious locations,” and ‘Forced to Kill.’ Peterson said. “There are a lot of USO centers at military installations, so we’ll get up early, have breakfast and meet the commander and the troops, then we might get on a Black Hawk helicopter and go to the next operating base.” Peterson stressed that this tour is about visiting the troops and not promoting books for the authors. “We’re really there for them,” he said. “This is more about our going over there and ‘tell me about your day,’ kind of thing. There will be both one-on-one discussions and loose gatherings of soldiers.” For security reasons, the destinations will not be made public, and the authors will visit only controlled environments and will not mix with the general public. The Operation Thriller tour was the brainchild of retired Marine Col. Andy Harp, who checked to see if the USO would be interested in hosting some authors. The USO liked his idea, and Operation Thriller One took place in 2010. This year, the International Thriller Writers (ITW) group chose Peterson to be the 2011 chairman of Operation Thriller Two. “Basically it’s a USO event and ITW selects the authors to tour,” Peterson said. “I’m coordinating all the logistics and making sure that my fellow authors have all the information they need.” Peterson said he never served in the military, but has had a lifelong interest in firearms and has excelled as a marksman since age 6. He has won numerous competitions and now holds the classification of Master in the NRA’s High Power Rifle ranking system. Peterson said his knowledge of firearms is essential to his writing because lead character, Nathan McBride, is a trained Marine Corp scout sniper and CIA operations officer. Because Peterson doesn’t have a military or espionage background, he does extensive technical

research to add authenticity to his characters and plot action. But too much technical research does not always make for a better book, he said. “If I do 100 percent research, I just put 10 percent of it into the book because I don’t want to bog the story down with minutiae. I find that most readers are much more interested in character than facts and technical stuff, and if you can create a character who engages them, then they’re hooked,” he said. Born and raised in San Diego, Peterson majored in mathematics at the University of Oklahoma before switching to architecture and earning a bachelor of science degree. He worked briefly in architecture before becoming a real estate developer. He began pursuing writing seriously more than 20 years ago. “I wrote a horror novel and it was absolutely dreadful,” Peterson said. Several more horror novels later, he said he realized that horror writing wasn’t his passion, but thriller writing was. After that epiphany, he began taking classes and attending writers’ conferences, which he found tremendously helpful. “I learned all of the things I was doing wrong,” Peterson said. “I think it helps to do your homework.” Peterson said he received five publisher’s rejections for “First to Kill,” his premiere Nathan McBride thriller, before receiving a positive response from Leisure Fiction, an imprint of Dorchester Publishing. “First to Kill,” debuted in 2008. Peterson recently sold the film rights to two Hollywood producers. His second McBride thriller, “Forced to Kill,” was first launched as an audio book from Audible.com. It will be available in both print and e-book form in November. Peterson is now writing the third McBride thriller, which he hopes to complete next spring. He plans to eventually write 10 thrillers in the McBride series. Peterson and his wife, Carla, reside in Monterey County.

Your Family Matters: Warning signs BY DR. KEITH KANNER Dangerous games like “huffing” failing grades, drug and alcohol abuse, habitual rebellious behavior and, in the worst case, teenage suicide, are all examples of “warning signs” that a “tween” or adolescent are in trouble, and that their behavior is not normal as compared to what is considered expected for a teenager, even these days.. The old adage that “kids will be kids” can be a dangerous assumption if one does not fully understand what is considered “normal” versus abnormal behavior when considering a middle or high school-aged boy or girl. As psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts, we speak of the typical processes of separation and individuation as children and adolescents alike consciously and unconsciously attempt to separate themselves and be psychologically independent from their adult counterparts by acting and doing things differently in efforts to feel less dependent and more grown up. But individual differences must be considered based on both the personality and particular conflicts each
Dr. Keith Kanner child and adolescent endures. Another important consideration is that by definition, adolescents tend to feel normally invincible and their judgment tends to be commonly inconsistent based on the influences of strong feelings of aggression and sexuality, which puts great stress on their consciousnesses. Coupled with peer influences, pressure to do well in school, and a more or less self-centered view of the world based on their general sense of vulnerability, decisions are often half thought through and mistakes happen from time to time. When this happens, most “good” parents set limits and the behaviors calm down, until the next periodic time of
“not thinking” occurs. However, occasional poor judgment is far different than consistent investments in self-compromising behaviors which tend to place this group of children into frequent states of peril. When this happens, we see these choices as symptoms of something much larger inside of the adolescent causing disturbance and subsequent maladaptive behaviors. Exactly what is going on inside of these particular children needs more investigation to determine, for example, as whether or not they are depressed, going through a rough developmental period, or withstanding an even more debilitating personality disturbance. However, it takes an invested parent who is observing their child on a daily basis and who has some sense of what is considered normal or not, to make the determination as to whether or not their child needs help. In most cases, when parents find that their child is going down a less than optimal pathway, they intervene and talk with their child and then if there is a lack of change, they get
them some help. This is why most adolescents are not either depressed or failing out of high school. Parents, however, need to constantly be on alert as to how their child is managing his or her lives during these critical years. We all know that most adolescents do not talk openly to their parents for those same reasons of wanting to be “on their own,” but their behaviors usually speak loud and clear as to how they are really feeling about life and themselves. Very few children who are really suffering have a lack of presently symptoms that can be identified by anyone outside of the boy or girl who has the knowledge of normality versus abnormality and pay attention to their children. Symptoms are basically anything that is evidence of something selfcompromising to a child or adolescent, but the top most common ones are as follows: 1. Failing grades in school 2. Habitual risk-taking behaviors 3. Daily negative selfstatements 4. A absence of friend-
ships 5. Evidence of self-injurious activities (i.e. cutting) 6. Poor hygiene after age 12 7. School behavior problems 8. Trouble with the law 9. Consistent opposition attitude towards all adults 10. Evidence of drug and alcohol paraphernalia Limits placed on these issues by parents help children in elevating their self-esteem and subsequently helps them better manage their feelings which at this stage feel out of their control. When a parent helps, these noted symptoms often subside, and the risk of their child’s downfall decrease. Dr. Keith Kanner is host/anchor - Your Family Matters - WSRADIO; contributor to LifeChanger, Extra TV; a syndicated columnist; author of “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmas” (in press); board certified & licensed clinical child, adolescent, & adult psychologist & psychoanalyst; Assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine; National Board Member - KidsKorps USA; and a father of three great kids.

Cygnet Theatre takes a crack at ‘The Glass Menagerie’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie,� now at Cygnet Theatre through Nov.13, premiered in Chicago in 1944 and has remained viable ever since. Amanda Sitton, a Cygnet Theatre resident artist who appears in the drama, has an idea why. “Williams has this style of writing that transcends prose and poetry,� said Sitton who takes on the role of daughter Laura Wingfield. “He writes very human characters who speak in sort of an elevated way. What they are speaking about is so universal that it becomes timeless because of the themes and the language that is so beautiful – yet there’s a trap in it, as well, because it’s so beautiful. It’s like Shakespeare; you can get stuck in the language ...� In “The Glass Menagerie,� Tom Wingfield wants to make life better for his mother and sister since their father left home. Tom is also a narrator who steps in and out of the “fourth wall,� as both storyteller and actor in a role. “I think it’s a cutting-edge effect and cool for the audience,� said Sitton. “But at the same time, you don’t necessarily trust the narrators or storytellers because everything is from a personal perspective for each character, so it’s an interesting ride for the audience, like whose story am I really seeing?� Sitton said she’s excited to be cast in “The Glass Menagerie,� as it was on her list as, “one of those I hope to have a part in someday.� She started acting lessons age 13 with San Diego’s D. J. Sullivan, and has since appeared in countless productions across the country, including “Doubt,� “It’s a Wonderful Life,� “Man From Nebraska,� “Las Meninas,� “Golden Boy,� “Three Sis-

ters,� “Crimes Of The Heart,� and “Four Dogs and a Bone,� to name a few. “Laura is shy and describes herself as ‘crippled,’ � said Sitton of her character, who wears a legbrace. “I don’t know how much self-awareness she has, and I don’t think she ruminates about her disabilities or her shy-
ness. She lives in a world of her own creation where she is completely comfortable. I think she’s a happy, centered person.� Sitton said she has directed productions, which gives her greater insight as an actor. “Besides knowing how to take notes now, I understand the role each actor plays in terms of the story you’re telling,� she said. “So for me, it’s how do I fit into the story instead of how does the story fit around me.� The cast, under the direction of Sean Murray, includes resident artists Rosina Reynolds (“Noises Off,� “Copenhagen,� “The Little Foxes�) as Amanda Wingfield; Francis Gercke (“Our Town,� “The Tragedy of the Commons,� “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof�) as Tom Wingfield, and Brian Mackey (“The History Boys,� “Storytelling on the Green�) as the Gentleman Caller, Jim O’Connor. “This is a touching story about how much a family loves one another,� Sitton said. “I think audiences will understand the connection between mother and son, brother and sister. The show has an undercurrent that asks, “What do you do for your family?�

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: A dominant defense and an efficient offense helped Cathedral Catholic roll to its third consecutive decisive victory. The Dons trounced Patrick Henry 32-0 in an Eastern League opener for both teams on Oct. 14. Their offense rolled up 335 yards and four touchdowns. But for a third straight week, it was the Dons defense that really shined.

Running back Tony Johnson paced the Dons with 139 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. The bad news for the Dons was that Johnson, the team’s leading rusher, left the game late in the first half with a knee injury. Xavier Ulutu rushed for 55 yards on 10 carries and Riley Sanchez rushed for 39 yards on seven carries. Dons quarterback Garrett Bogart completed three of 13 pass attempts for 93 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Toshaun Poumele had eight tackles to lead the Dons defense.

Moore led the Eagles with 10 tackles, and Hunter Vaccaro and Darrian Borboa each added eight tackles.
The Eagles, who haven’t lost since getting shut out by Westview 21-0 in a Week 1 game back on Sept. 2, improved their overall record for the season to 5-1. ***** Torrey Pines lost to Westview 20-17 in a Palomar League opener for both teams on Oct. 14.

#1 ranked Torrey Pines Pop Warner Flag Mighty Falcons win Flag Fest The undefeated TPPW Mighty Falcons, lead by head coach Ryan Patterson, lined up last Saturday against the undefeated Rancho Penasquitos Sun Devils, under the lights at Westview High School. In their championship game, both teams gave it their all, and after an exciting exchange of action, the Torrey Pines Mighty Falcons won 25 to 13. “We are extremely proud of Coach Patterson, his staff and the Mighty Falcons flag football players,” said Tonya Montes, President of TPPW. “It’s exciting for a first time head coach to be the #1 seed out of 36 teams going into Flag Fest, and Torrey Pines Pop Warner is thrilled for his team, and their big win on Saturday!“ The Sun Devils had the ball first, failed to score, and punted to the Falcons. Torrey Pines scored on their first possession on a long run by Cooper Whitton from the quarterback position. The pass for the extra point failed, and Torrey Pines led 6-0. RP came roaring back with a long touchdown run of their own and a successful extra point try to lead 7-6. After failing to score on their next possession, Torrey Pines stopped the Sun Devils and took possession on their own 20 yard line. The Falcons would score two more times to take an 18-7 lead behind long runs by Will Morgans, Cooper Whitton, Charlie Mirer, and Zachary Rowell. The Sun Devils would score a second touchdown to close the gap to 18-13 before a late touchdown by the Falcons put the game out of reach at 25-13. Cooper Whitton wowed the crowed and ran the ball in to score ALL four exciting touch downs, with Charlie Mirer scoring an extra point after the fourth touchdown, on a run from the quarterback position. The Mighty Falcons defense had key plays that halted the efforts of the RP offense. Jake Vargas, had two great flag pulls, and Rhett LaRocca answered with two amazing sacks. Will Morgans stepped it up with a crucial fourth down conversion, and Charlie Mirer had a key conversion helping to bring the Falcons back into the lead. When asked about his undefeated season, Coach Patterson said, “We set out to make sure everyone on our team learned the game and played their best. I think we did it. I could not be prouder of what these boys accomplished this season. Go Mighty Falcons!”
The Mighty Falcons proudly display their Flag Fest medals. From left to right, front row: Jake Bonora, Cade Crist, Kade Wilken, Chad Hagen, Rhett LaRocca, Daniel Mehta, Zach Rowell, Harrison Borts. Middle row: Liam Patterson, Grant Bauer, Jake Vargas, Cooper Whitton, Will Morgans, and Charlie Mirer. Standing: Rey Vargas, Lance Morgans, Ryan Patterson, Guy Hagen and Scott Wilken. Assistant Coach, Guy Hagen added, “Coach Patterson has a gift. He has the knack to bring out the best in his team. These little guys are just six to eight years old, with short attention spans, and his patience is extraordinary. He always drops to one knee when speaking to his players. Things like thinking to connect eye to eye “at their level” with his team, is what makes them feel important, which translates into admiration for their coach, which leads to confidence. I could not have asked for a better mentor for my son Chad.” Bill Butler, grandfather of Cooper Whitton, has been on the sidelines for many Torrey Pines games and practices, with four grandsons, Cooper, Champion, Connor and Chase Whitton all playing for TPPW. Bill said, “I thought the coaching staff did a great
time putting the players in the right positions. They also did well using Charlie Mirer’s speed and good hands, building the defense to where all the players were a threat to get a flag on every play, being courteous and cooperative with other team’s coaches, creating an atmosphere of having fun while playing to win and developing the talents of all the players, and giving several players the opportunity to be the QB, a running back, or a pass receiver. Being ranked #1 was awesome and a nice reward for an undefeated team that never tried to run up the score.” After their big win on Saturday, 7- year-old, Liam Patterson, was asked how it felt to have such a great season. He answered with a big grin, “It feels like I’m a winner!” The Palomar Conference is comprised of 17 associations, including Carlsbad, Escondido, Fallbrook, La Costa Canyon, Murrietta, Oceanside, Poway Ramona, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, San Marcos, Scripps Ranch, Temecula, Torrey Pines, Valley Center, Vista and Wildomar.

Author to speak at UCSD about the survivors of Darfur genocide Former BBC reporter and author Rebecca Tinsley will be speaking at UCSD on Oct. 24 and 25 about her new book “When The Stars Fall To Earth.” In 2004, Tinsley went to Darfur at the height of the violence to interview the survivors of genocide — courageous women. They asked Tinsley to tell their story to the world — they feel as though no one knows about the atrocities they’ve experienced. Based on her interviews with these brave, resilient people, she wrote the book “When The Stars Fall to Earth” (LandMarc/2011). Tinsley also founded the nonprofit group Network4Africa (based in Del Mar, www.network4africa.org) to help genocide survivors rebuild their lives. The Monday, Oct. 24, event will be titled “We are survivors: stories from Africa,” and will be held at the UCSD Communications Dept, Room: Media Center Communictions 133, from noon - 1 p.m. On Oct. 25, the event will be held at the UCSD Communications Dept., Center Hall 212, Tuesday, from 2-3:20 p.m. For additional information, contact: Christa Bennett at : 650-468-6010.
Grauer School to hold Open House The Grauer School, North County’s premier college preparatory day school for 6-12 grade students, announced the launch of its enrollment season for the class of 2012. The school will host an on-campus Open House for prospective students on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas.

The Grauer School announced earlier this year that it reached its enrollment capacity of 150 students for the graduating class of 2011 and encourages parents to begin the enrollment process for the class of 2012 as soon as possible.

Free webinar to be held on the ‘Future of Breast Cancer Awareness’
Try our innovative casual menu Or your favorite Mille Fleurs classics. Reservations at 858 756 3085. www.MilleFleurs.com
Preventive and integrative medicine expert Dr. Barnet Meltzer, of Del Mar, and Save the Ta-Tas Foundation, a leading nonprofit organization supporting breast cancer awareness, have joined forces to educate the community on the next major breakthrough in the war against breast cancer. They will be holding a free webinar on the topic on Nov. 17. “Integrative medicine is the wave of the future,” Dr. Meltzer said. “In addition to advocating conventional measures of early detection and supporting research for a cure, integrative medicine teaches us how to prevent the vast majority of breast cancers to begin with. It’s important to raise awareness that women have a tremendous capacity to build a powerful immune system, strengthen the body’s natural defense mechanisms against breast cancer, and significantly reduce their risk for this dangerous disease.” Individuals can access the webinar by signing up at www.maketimeforwellness.com/blog.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Vacuum Center offers top products, services La Jolla Vacuum Center father-son team Kerry and Jordan Lee have remained successful by adhering to the age-old business practice of providing good service at a reasonable price. The centerpiece of the family’s business is the German-based Miele brand and its flagship Capricorn model, which has all of the electronic controls in the hand grip. “They’re the top-rated filtering vacuum in the world,” said Jordan Lee, assistant manager. Touting Miele vacuum’s other qualifications, he added, “Those motors will never go bad.” Miele’s dependability is also what keeps customers coming back. “People that own a Miele will typically buy another Miele because they like it that much,” Jordan said. The Lees carry on the tradition of the family-run shop with a vast selection of products, including vacuums and every imaginable accessory and attachment, such as cleaning solutions, spot removers and a rug shampooer, which can be bought or rented. “Being a service center we repair almost every make and model of vacuum,” said Jordan Lee. “We also carry every bag, every tool and filter, most parts you could want.” Jordan Lee said he and his father
A trip of a lifetime: The World War II D-Day paratrooper adventure experience La Jolla Vacuum Center’s Jordan Lee. have been emphasizing that they can and will match prices online. “We don’t want customers to feel like they have to go online to get a deal,” he said. “They can come to our store and get the same deal here.” The Lees also have the advantage that they own the building their vacuum shop is in at 520 Pearl St. Their overhead is low and they can pass that
on to their customers. A family-owned specialty store like this, unfortunately, is a dying breed. “We’re not going anywhere,” said Jordan. “We’re going to be here in the future.” For more information, call (858) 459-1130 or go to www.lajollavacuum. com

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes. net Fortunately for North County chocolate lovers, Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach happen to be home to a few of the most coveted chocolatiers in San Diego — and nationwide. As people become more aware and more adventurous when it comes to the finer things in life — sweets, cheese, wine, beer and so on — specialty gourmet chocolate shops like Dallmann Confections, Jer’s Chocolates and Chuao Chocolatiers are leading a movement that’s sweeping the nation and making indulgence more a part of people’s lives. And their owners, albeit completely different from one another, exude passion strong enough to inspire executives to trade their business suits for chef coats and join the movement. After all, that’s what Jerry Swain, owner of Jer’s, and Michael Antonorsi, owner of Chuao, did. Both men worked for years in the telecommunications field before they followed their passion. For An-
paradise tonorsi, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and native Venezuelan, that meant picking up and moving his family from Venezuela to Paris to attend a gourmet culinary school. For Swain, a Solana Beach resident of more than 15 years, that meant revisiting his interests and making a courageous career change based on a yearning to build something innovative from the ground up. Swain will tell you his success “happened by accident,” but don’t believe him — his talent, popularity and business savvy was apparent early on. He wowed his peers in college at the University of California, Riverside — where he served as student body president — with peanut butter balls that acquired the name “Jer’s Balls.” His specialty became the focus of annual potlucks, which also grew to the point that he started renting out venues for the event. That gave rise to the “Jer’s Ball” fundraiser event, which raised money for the local food bank for nine years. It was still years before he noticed that 85 percent of mainstream chocolate candies somehow incorporate the peanut flavor, and decided to build a business that would cater to the
peanut butter chocolate addicts of the world. Unlike Dallmann and Chuao, which are constantly at the forefront of chocolate innovation, Jer’s isn’t trendy — this is, unless you consider flavor a trend. “We’re not trying to incite the ‘wow’ factor or intrigue,” said Swain. “We’re just offering a good natural product that people will continue to buy over and over.” Isabella Valencia, on the other hand, knows how to intrigue her loyal followers — who not only love her chocolates but they love her, too. The owner of Dallmann Confections, located in the Flower Hill Promenade, makes herself a vital part of her customers’ chocolate experience with her weekly in-store tastings, in which she strategically pairs her confections with cheese, wine, salt, tapas, scotch, beer and other fine foods. Each of her chocolates is a work of art, hand painted and uniquely flavored, and she seeks to heighten appreciation of her product through her educational events, which highlight the diversity and versatility of her medium. Valencia learned her craft in Austria, where her family operates a successful pastry shop, but she doesn’t keep her skills a secret — she holds hand-on classes in the kitchen to show people what goes into the making of each piece. Both Valencia and Antonorsi said their most popular flavors at the moment combine sweet with

MICHAEL ANTONORSI Chuao Chocolatiers 3485 Del Mar Heights, A1 salty. Valencia can hardly keep her sea salt and carmel chocolate on the shelves, and Antonorsi just came out with a potato chip and chocolate candy bar. Both shops have also made chocolate fanatics out of their spicy treats. Dallmann offers chile and cayenne chocolates, and Chuao’s popular “firecracker” chocolate (caramel fudge with chipotle chile and salt, rolled in popping candy and enrobed in dark chocolate) has been featured on the Food Network and the Cooking Channel. “It makes everyone feel like a child,” said Antonorsi. “Even my 70-year mom, who’s very traditional and formal, gets the giggles when she eats it.”

Coldwell Banker wins two Web awards for Website The Web Marketing Association’s annual Web Award Competition is the standard of excellence for Website development. Independent expert judges from around the world review sites in 96 industries and yesterday it was announced that Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC has won not one but two prestigious web awards for outstanding achievement in web development. The flagship website of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, coldwellbanker.com, won the first award for its design and performance as a whole. Coldwell Banker relaunched coldwellbanker.com with new design and functionality tools like keyword search, IP lookup and video integration just last year. The second Web Award went to Coldwell Banker’s new innovative way of searching for a home just through pictures called BlueScape Search. “Internally we refer to BlueScape as “the housing genome project” as it uses behind the scenes algorithms, tags and sci-fi like processes to allow consumers to find
their dream home by rating pictures with a thumbs up or thumbs down,” said Rick Hoffman, president and COO of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage for San Diego County and Temecula Valley. Behind the scenes BlueScape analyzes the aspects of the picture based on keywords, tags and general technological wizardry to then serve up search results that meet the preferences of the pictures that were rated. “Users are able to narrow their search to a specific area if they like, and I always like seeing what property BlueScape wants to send me to next,” adds Hoffman. While coldwellbanker.com and BlueScape won the awards, there is a ton of other blue ribbon worthy tools consumers find useful to search for their perfect home. Coldwell Banker’s YouTube channel On Location, our Coldwell Banker iPad app and Lifestyle search tools on coldwellbanker.com are all industry firsts and at community residents’ disposal.
