DMUSD CV planners address parkland issues changes field trip policy BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer The Del Mar Union School District board approved some tweaks to the district’s field trip policy at its Oct. 26 meeting. The old language stated that if the board allocates funds for school-sponsored trips, individual schools may be provided with allocations so they can plan ahead. The new board policy is that no field trip will be authorized if any student would be excluded from participation because of a lack of sufficient funds. The superintendent would coordinate with community groups to supply funds for students in need and district funds would not be used to pay student expenses for outof-state field trips. The changes to the policy also “tighten up the approval process” for trips, reflecting that all trips involving out-ofcounty, out-of-state and overnight travel requires approval of the board. Written approval of the trip must be received before any planning or fundraising activities take place.
BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer The San Diego Canyonlands (SDCL) continued its public outreach campaign to get 10,000 acres of city-owned open space dedicated as parkland by visiting the Torrey Pines, Torrey Hills and Car-
mel Valley community planning boards in October. According to Eric Bowlby, SDCL’s executive director, the purpose of dedicating city land is to provide for reliable open space preservation and recreational opportunities
within communities, and create a framework for future planning as the city continues to grow. Having the land dedicated means no change in management or maintenance. “It’s the same, just protected,” Bowlby said.
Torrey Pines planning board member Bob Shopes said the difference between “designated” and “dedicated” open space is in the legal status and the ability to sell the land —the city would not be able to sell dedicated land for nonpark uses without a two-
thirds approval of San Diego voters. Uses allowed under dedicated status would be natural open space, outdoor recreation, roads and utility easements—the land would be protected from all other See PARKLAND, Page 6
SD Veterans Group marks second year helping the homeless
Solana Highlands Halloween parade
•Do nations needed BY MATT LIEBOWITZ Carmel Valley resident Gil Field and his fellow San Diego Veterans for Peace (SDVFP) members are hitting the downtown San Diego streets and making a positive, necessary impact in the quality of life for hundreds of homeless people, many of whom served in combat. Now in the beginning of its second year, the group’s “Compassion campaign” is just that, a coordinated effort by a few tireless and dedicated veterans. Established in December 2010, the Compassion Campaign is the nonprofit group’s crusade to provide sleeping bag sets and waterproof gear to

San Diego’s homeless population. About twice a month, SDVFP members head to a few areas in downtown San Diego known to be popular sleeping spots for the homeless, and hand out about 50 sleeping sets, each of which includes a sleeping bag, a waterproof stuff sack, and a heavy-duty plastic poncho. The campaign raised more than $18,000 in its first year, enough to deliver 725 sets to homeless people staying in several locations downtown, including spots near the Civic Center, along 16th Street, on Pacific Highway and in camps under See HOMELESS, Page 6

Ticks test positive for ‘Rabbit Fever’
CV planning board briefs, Oct. 27 meeting
BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Ticks collected in the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve last week tested positive for tularemia, a potentially serious illness also known as “rabbit fever,” the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health recently reported. The discovery came during routine monitoring for the disease in the Lopez Canyon area of the preserve. “Tularemia is a bacterial, vector-borne disease that can be transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks, or through direct contact with an infected animal such as rabbits and other rodents,’’ said Jack Miller, the DEH director. “We recommend using insect repellent to prevent ticks and other insects from biting, especially when hiking in bushy areas.’’ Flea and tick control products should
BY KAREN BILLING Suspects caught in marijuana dispensary theft Carmel Valley Northwestern Division’s community relations officer Adrian Lee attends every Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting to give updates and provide information about crime trends in the community. At the Thursday, Oct. 27, meeting, Lee was part of his own update as he played a big role in taking down suspects involved in a robbery of a Sorrento Valley marijuana dispensary. On Oct. 18 at about 2:30 a.m., Lee and another officer were patrolling the
also be used on pets, Miller said. Ticks get tularemia by biting infected rabbits, rodents or other animals. Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public health officer, said human symptoms include lymph node swelling, headache and fever. “Other symptoms include a skin ulcer at the site of the bite, fatigue, body aches and nausea,’’ Wooten said. “Tularemia cannot be transmitted from person-to-person, but it can be transmitted by handling infected meat, or drinking water contaminated by an infected animal.’’ She said the disease is treatable with antibiotics, but can be fatal. Ticks should be removed carefully but quickly by grabbing them with tweezers as close to the insect’s head as possible and pulling out steadily and firmly.
CV company to present lecture at MIT India Congress BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc., a privately owned stem cell therapeutics corporation headquartered in Carmel Valley announced recently that Dr. Greg Maguire, CEO and co-founder, has been invited to present a lecture titled, “Therapeutic and Medical Procedure Development Using Stem Cell-Based S2RM TechnologyTM” at the international congress titled “Nano and Regenerative Medicines – Opportunities and Challenges for India.” The congress is sponsored by MIT and will be held in Mumbai, India, Dec. 12-13. President and Co-Founder Peter Friedman explained that “S2RM TechnologyTM uses the molecules released from multiple stem cell types in a patented process to develop therapeutics and medical procedures
that mimic mother nature’s healing processes. When the body is diseased or traumatized, multiple stem cell types are usually recruited to the affected area where the stem cells release a combination of molecules to orchestrate the healing process.” Maguire added, “ S2RM TechnologyTM has been shown to rebuild tissue, reduce pain and inflammation, and modulate immune function. Using the correct combinations of stem cells, stimulating the cells in different ways, and adjusting the ratios of molecules, we can produce specific types of the S2RM to treat different diseases or traumatic conditions.” For more information, please email: sales@bioregenerativesciences.com, or call customer service at 877-892-9991.
area when they saw a subject sitting in a vehicle near the dispensary. The officers questioned the man — unknowing that three others were inside the dispensary stealing marijuana and he was the getaway driver. When the three men ran outside and got away, Lee arrested the driver and acting as a detective was able to get him to confess to the crime and give up the name of his accomplices. “Adrian caught the case and made something out of nothing,” said Lt. Andrew Hoffman, noting that the accomplices were wanted for other crimes in the area. The planning board
gave Lee a round of applause in appreciation. New neighborhood representative appointed Planning board Chair Frisco White appointed a new representative for neighborhood 5 at the Oct. 27 meeting. Debbie Lokanc will fill the remainder of Scott Tillson’s term, up to March 2013. Tillson passed away in May. Meeting date change As November’s Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting falls on Thanksgiving, the board will instead meet on Thursday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Library.
Possible arson fire extinguished A possible arson fire scorched about 12 open acres in the Black Mountain Ranch area Nov. 2 amid dry, breezy weather conditions, authorities reported. The non-injury blaze erupted in a hilly area off Camino del Sur and San Dieguito Road shortly before 9 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. It took about 60 firefighters and crews aboard two helicopters about an hour to fully extinguish the flames, which never threatened any structures, SDFRD spokesman Maurice Luque said. The nearest homes were about a quarter-mile from the burn area, and mostly upwind of it, he said. Dry Santa Ana gusts up to about 30 mph stoked the fire, according to Luque. The cause of the blaze was under investigation (at presstime for this newspaper). Witnesses described seeing someone in the area as the fire began spreading, leading authorities to believe it may have been intentionally set.

Human rights activist/aid worker continues unrelenting campaign to end genocide in Darfur novelist and former BBC political reporter Rebecca Tinsley is a leader in the ongoing campaign against genocide in the Darfur region of western Sudan, Africa. She is founder Waging Peace, a London-based human rights group exposing the genocide in Darfur, and Network4Africa, a humanitarian aid nonprofit based in Del Mar that provides training and support for survivors to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of war and genocide in Africa. Her latest novel, “When the Stars Fall to Earth,” based on true accounts of survivors she interviewed, tells the story of five young Darfuri survivors of the genocide. Tinsley estimates that “at least” some 300,000 have lost their lives and 2 million people have been driven from their homes in the genocide that began in 2003. We interviewed Tinsley last week following her talk to students at UCSD’s Communication/Media center.
Since 2004, when Tinsley and her activist friend, Lord David Alton, managed to “pop into” Darfur clandestinely to interview survivors of genocide at an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp operated by a western health agency, Tinsley has become an unrelenting chronicler of the genocide being perpetrated against the increasingly poor black African Muslim population of Darfur by the country’s self-identified Arab Muslims and their Janjaweed militia, directed by that country’s Islamist military junta government under president Omar al-Bashir in the oil-rich capital of Khartoum. Tinsley, a freelance journalist and former BBC political reporter at the time, interviewed the women survivors and Lord Alton interviewed male survivors. Up to that time, no journalists had made it to the camp. “Had we applied to visit Darfur, we would certainly have been forbidden entry,” Tinsley said. “Every good

dictator knows you should do your killing away from the prying eyes of journalists or outside witnesses.” The interviews were later submitted to the International Criminal Court in The Hague as evidence in support of charges of genocide that, with other evidence, resulted in Sudan President Bashir being in-
dicted in July 2010 for orchestrating the Darfur genocide. He remains free until he is apprehended in a country that accepts the ICC’s jurisdiction. In the Afterword of her recently published novel, written to tell the Darfur tragedy in more accessible human terms, based on her interviews, Tinsley recounts:
“The women told me how the Sudanese air force had bombed their villages. The aerial raids were followed by attacks by uniformed Sudanese soldiers in official jeeps often supported by the Janjaweed militia on horseback or camel. “Very soon a pattern emerged — the village was attacked, the men and boys were killed, children were thrown into fires, bodies were stuffed into wells to pollute the water supply, houses were set on fire, and women and girls were systematically raped and beaten.” The women were branded with hot pokers, she said, and were told by their rapists that the second phase of the genocide would occur when HIV/AIDs would eventually kill them. The women in the camp urged Tinsley to tell their story. “We were in Darfur for about three days before the SEE GENOCIDE, PAGE 6

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor When she was 6, growing up in her family’s modest home in Toronto, Canada, Rebecca Tinsley (nee Bryan) had a new word added to her vocabulary. She had noticed that one of her mother’s tea party guests had numbers tattooed on her arm. After the guests had left, Rebecca asked her mother why Mrs. Zlotnik, the Polish lady, had that tattoo. Her mother, a former war correspondent, sat Rebecca down and with some books on World War II, told her about the Holocaust and introduced her to the word “genocide.” “And I could never get past it. Just couldn’t,” Tinsley said. “Some people are motivated by wanting to feed the world or cure the world, for me, it’s the manmade things that we do to ourselves. We dehumanize our neighbor so that we can kill them. Propaganda, fear, hatred.” Human right activist,

Student’s gap year volunteering in Peru a life-changing experience BY MEGAN MCVAY Intern This summer, while most of the La Jolla Country Day graduates were picking out dorm room décor and finishing college reading assignments, Del Mar resident Romana Bruderer-Schwab was packing her bags for her 11-week volunteering venture in Lima, Peru. During her senior year of high school, she decided she wanted to take a gap year before starting her college education at Connecticut College. Seeking to make a difference and enhance her worldly education, she decided to volunteer through Cross Cultural Solutions, a non-profit organization that addresses global issues by providing volunteer service to communities abroad. When she arrived in a poverty-stricken district in Lima, Peru called Villa El Salvador, she was placed in a Catholic-run school called Fe y Alegria #17. As a National Spanish Exam Gold recipient and a Spanish Honors Society member, BrudererSchwab was able to use her language skills to communicate with young women from grades 10-12 about women’s rights and awareness. She single-handedly implemented her own gender-studies program where she discussed gender-schemas, sexuality and domestic violence with the girls of the community. “Women’s rights have always been an issue close to my heart, and I accurately believed that having such a class in a conservative and sexist country would ultimately only benefit the girls. I realize now, being more than halfway through my program, that I was right; I’ve become a mentor to the girls and they have no problem asking me for advice regarding anything,” said Bruderer-Schwab. Bruderer-Schwab was in charge of teaching a different class at the school Monday through Friday regarding different facets of gender-studies. In a culture centered around the ideas of sexism and Catholicism, these young women lack a mentor-figure that they can talk to openly about such issues. So when BrudererSchwab arrived, she served as their go-to support system and was welcomed with open arms. She reveals that because these young girls are deprived of sexual education, they often engage in unprotected sex and are consequently forced to cope with unhappy marriages and unplanned pregnancies, all before the age
Romana Bruderer-Schwab in Peru of 18. “By talking with the girls openly and scientifically about women’s issues, female sexuality, and contraception, I hope that they realize that only they are in charge of making healthy decisions for themselves, and they need to take initiative to become strong, healthy, independent women,” said Bruderer-Schwab. With only a one-two- year age difference, 18-year old, Bruderer-Schwab provided the girls of Fe y Alegria #17 School with a relatable and trustworthy figure they could discuss their familial, friend, and romantic issues with. However, the Peruvian girls were not the only ones enlightened by new information and ideas. BrudererSchwab relays that her experience in Peru has made her aware of the repressive affects of sexism and Catholicism, which have hindered young women’s education and sexuality in Peru. “I did this volunteer program with the hopes of making some sort of headway in the field of women’s rights, and I now realize that teaching about contraception is one of the most basic methods to help women become more independent from their male counterparts,” said BrudererSchwab. Ultimately, Bruderer-Schwab might be a year behind her college-bound classmates, but unlike the many others who spent countless hours vacillating between prospective majors, Bruderer-Schwab now knows with certainty what she wants to focus on in college: women’s studies. “I believe that no college experience could have shaped and educated me as much as my time here in Lima has, so to all the parents of high school students out there, I strongly advocate for taking a gap year, it can only do you good,” said Bruderer-Schwab.

GENOCIDE continued from page 4 security people tracked us down and put us on a plane out of there.” Tinsley was born Rebecca Bryan in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, of a British father and an Irish-Canadian mother. The family moved to England when she was 10. At 14, she joined a political party and became involved in protesting the apartheid system in South Africa. When she was 16, she was arrested outside of a Land Rover plant in her hometown for protesting the British company’s selling of vehicles to the South African secret police. She studied law at the London School of Economics and earned her LLB in 1982. She worked as a political reporter for the BBC and ran twice as a “middle of the road” Liberal candidate for Parliament during which she met and married busi-
nessman and activist Henry Tinsley, who “made his money dealing in fairly-traded organic chocolate.” During the 1990s, she helped form a group of Christians, Jews and Muslims that arranged humanitarian aid convoys to warravaged Bosnia. After her journey to Darfur in 2004, she returned to England and began telling the Darfur story to politicians, the press, in articles and in talks to whomever would listen. She formed the human rights group Waging Peace (www.WagingPeace. info) that gathers and disseminates information on the ongoing crisis in Darfur; and, in 2007, founded the humanitarian aid nonprofit, Network4Africa, ( www.network4africa.org ), based in Del Mar, that offers training and support to survivors of genocide and war, especially widows and orphans, to help them rebuild their lives. Network4Africa currently has projects in Rwanda

and Northern Uganda. Christa Bennett heads Network4Africa in Del Mar and can be emailed at: c_v_bennett@yahoo. com Asked if she sees any end to the genocide in Sudan, Tinsley said, with characteristic candor: “No, I don’t. Not in the short term because there is no reason why the Sudanese government will stop killing people. They will kill them until they run out of black people to kill, because there is no international action to do anything about it. “None of the other African leaders will criticize it. None of the Muslim countries are talking about the fact that Muslims are killing Muslims. Silent on the subject. But they bellyache about every Palestinian who dies, don’t they? And yet black Muslims, they matter for nothing.” The UN Security Council has passed a series of resolutions outlining measures to be taken
against the Khartoum government, including a proposed “no fly zone” over Darfur, but almost none of these resolutions have been implemented, Tinsley said. Why? “Because Sudan is faithfully supported by its friends — the Russians and Chinese. Both countries supply Khartoum with arms and China buys 80 percent of Sudan’s oil.” And, President Bashir, after years of siding with alQaeda and Iran, is now belatedly “on our side’ in the U.S. war on terrorism. Despite the many reasons why nothing has been done to stop the genocide in Darfur, Tinsley believes, there is a way forward. “The answer, put simply, is to enforce UN resolutions against the regime in Khartoum. All the necessary levers already exist and they have been approved by the UN Security Council. What is required is the political will to enforce these existing resolutions. “It isn’t enough just to

three I-5 overpasses. SDVFP Director of Communications Gil Field said he and his fellow SDFVP members saw groups of homeless people sleeping on the pavement on cold and rainy days last year, and decided, as a group dedicated to helping veterans, many of whom are homeless — Field estimated the number to be 30 to 40 percent — that it was their duty to take action. From there, the Compassion Campaign became a project that the SDFVP put its weigh and benevolent spirit behind. Citing those who return from war with post traumatic stress disorder and are unable to receive adequate care, Field said, “Veterans on the street, whether we like it or not, are victims of war.” The program has been a success, Field said, and the homeless who receive the group’s sleeping sets are “so incredibly magnanimous and generous and incredibly grateful.” Field said homeless people have even turned down his help, directing him to deliver the sleeping bag sets to another homeless person who needs it more. “They said ‘I don’t need it as much as the guy on the next block,’” Field
said. “It’s astonishing, some of these people have nothing but the guy down the block has less. You’d think somebody who sleeps on the street, when they’re offered something, would take it regardless.” That selflessness struck a chord with Field and his fellow SDVFP members, including Jack Doxey and Jan Ruhman, who have taken now to bringing, in addition to the sleeping sets, an extra car worth of cold-weather clothing to hand out. For its second year, the Compassion Campaign hopes to beat its first year fundraising total of $18,000, and is looking for civic groups and corporate sponsors to help. “Some of these groups can just give you $1,000 and it’s nothing, but to us that’s huge,” Field said.

To donate, make out checks to the San Diego Veterans For Peace and mail them to Treasurer, 11575 Caminito La Bar #23, San Diego, CA 92126.

ning group recommended approval of the plan on Oct. 18 and the Carmel Valley planning board members voted to support the general concept of the plan on Oct. 27, although they will review the parcels included to ensure there are no issues with the sites. CV planning board member Allen Kashani also wanted to ensure that public access and trails — where they make sense — would be stressed by the Canyonlands plan. “We are working to connect people to nature,” Bowlby said, agreeing that recreation is important for people to become stewards of the city’s unique natural resources. At its Oct. 13 meeting, the Torrey Pines planning
group wasn’t prepared to recommend approval of the plan yet and decided to establish an ad hoc committee to evaluate the specific parcels within the community’s proposed 60 acres. SDCL is currently in the middle of its public review process, gathering input from planning groups throughout the city. SDCL will then present a detailed report and map to the parks and recreation department, and present a final map for ratification to the city council. The goal is to have the map ratified and the land dedicated by August 2012. To learn more, visit San Diego Canyonlands at sdcanyonlands.org and click on the Park Dedication button.

Local students hear personal story about the perils of prescription drug abuse BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer At age 29, Aaron “Rubes” Rubin has been living with the devastating consequences of his prescription drug abuse for the last six years. When he was 23 years old the Poway High School graduate overdosed on OxyContin and was left a quadriplegic. Although he cannot speak and can only communicate with raised fingers, blinks and head nods, he and his mother, Sherrie, are on a prescription pill education mission through their program “Rollin’ with Rubin.” The pair travels to schools and organizations across the country to talk about the dangers and lifethreatening consequences of prescription pills and Aaron’s drug of choice, OxyContin. OxyContin, is a pill used to treat severe or chronic pain. The small pills (the 80 mg. green pill being the most abused) are time released over 12 hours, but teenagers crush and snort or smoke them to get to get to the high more quickly. To smoke it, teens crush the pill and put it in lines on a piece of tin foil. They will then light the foil

choices so you can continue to live a full life,” Sherrie said. “Aaron’s wish for you is not to feel sorry for him or us, his wish is that you remember every choice you make is not about just that moment but also your future.” After Aaron’s overdose, he was in a coma for threeand- a-half weeks and the family was given a grim prognosis after he suffered a heart attack and two strokes — only a quarter of his brain survived. “We were planning his funeral,” Sherrie said. “And then one day he opened his eyes.” At first, Aaron was
blind, could not walk and could not speak. Eventually his sight came back to him but his speech never returned and he is now confined to a wheelchair. Sherrie said he fully understands what is going on around him but cannot speak— to communicate he uses blinks, nods and holds up the number “1” for yes and “2” for no. Sherrie said she had to get to know the new Aaron, a different son than the one she lost the day he overdosed. Not being able to speak and communicate can be frustrating for Aaron, but he knows the message he spreads with “Rollin’ with Rubin” is an important one. Aaron started using pills his sophomore year of high school. After football games, he and his friends would use somas, a muscle relaxer that they got from Mexico. When partying, they’d drink, use other pills, such as Xanax, and smoke marijuana. Eventually he began to use OxyContin. Aaron’s addiction to OxyContin became an uncontrollable force. He thought he could stop anytime he wanted but he couldn’t, even when he lost five friends in 11 months to
drug overdoses. “That’s how difficult it is to stop this monster if you start it in your life,” Sherrie said. Eventually, he went to his parents for help and attended several rehabs, including one sevenmonth residential program. “We thought he was back to himself,” Sherrie said, but eight weeks after coming home from rehab he decided to use one more time, this time with near fatal consequences. Aaron overdosed at a party with his party “friends”—none of whom have come to visit him since he overdosed. “Did you ever think anything bad would happen to you?” Sherrie asked Aaron, He held up the number two: No. “Did you use drugs because you thought it would help solve your problems?” she asked. Number one: Yes. “Did it solve them?” Number two: No. To learn more about “Rollin’ with Rubin” or Sherri Rubin’s H.O.P.E.

Six tips to keep teens drug-free 1. Don’t speak generally about drug and alcohol use — your teen needs to hear detailed and reality-driven messages. 2. Emphasize what drug use can do to your teen’s future. 3. Challenge your child to be a peer leader among his friends and to take personal responsibility for his actions and show others how to do the same. 4. Encourage your teen to volunteer somewhere that he can see the impacts of drugs on your community. 5. Use news reports about alcohol or drugrelated incidents as discussion openers. 6. Compliment your teen for all the things they do well and for the positive choices they make. Positive reinforcement can go a long way in preventing drug use among teens.

CEO shoots from the hip in new book loaded with ‘biz’ lessons BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Contributor When you walk into the office of Neil Senturia’s investment company, Blackbird Ventures, there’s a sign above his desk that sticks out like a bright, floral-patterned gown at a funeral. The sign contains four simple words in two sentences. “F**k you. Pay me.” Is it supposed to be funny? A warning? Perhaps a mission statement? Like beauty itself, the meaning lies in the eye of the beholder, but it speaks volumes about the owner. Senturia is a hard-bitten, straight-talking, painfully honest, eminently practical man. His gaunt face, large eyeglasses, lean, almost frail, physique belie a tough interior, essential in his almost 30 years in business. He’s that special sort of businessman: the entrepreneur. Senturia wasn’t always an entrepreneur. He said he began his career in Hollywood in the 1970s as a writer, creating scripts for hit TV sitcoms like “MASH,” “The Bob Newhart Show,” and “Alice,” among others, before his entrepreneurial streak eventually took hold. Senturia combined his two prodigious talents – entrepreneurship and writing – to pen
“I’m There For You, Baby: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Galaxy, Volume 1,” his first book (available on Amazon.com). “The premise behind the book was, can you tell the truth,” Senturia said. “I had the sense that sometimes the entrepreneur, the featured speaker, doesn’t always tell the truth. He or she stands up and says, I started the company, then I raised some money, and then it worked out perfectly, and I sold it for a $100 million. And you sort of say, listen a******, what I really want to ask you is tell me about the failure. Was it exactly like that? In other words, what’s the truth? There’s always a dark side to the truth. So I wanted to see if I could peel back and tell as true a story as I could.” Above all, Senturia is humorous. As evidenced, Senturia can be vulgar, but it’s not profanity for the sake of it. For instance, the book’s cover illustration depicts a single barb from a barbed wire. Closer inspection will reveal a different interpretation of the picture, an alternative that Senturia said was deliberate. “That’s the nature of entrepreneurship,” he noted. “The world does that to you. And then, when you’ve overcome obstacles and you have a success,
Neil Senturia, author of ‘I’m There For You, Baby: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Galaxy, Volume 1,’ they say, I knew all along ... But at the beginning, does anybody reach down and say, I’d like you to do (something)? Nobody does that. If you get that job, it will be because you pounded on the doors; you beat on the walls. The basic response of the world to entrepreneurs is ... [makes rude gesture].” Senturia is passionate about entrepreneurship. Aside from his stint in TV writing, he’s been a
real estate developer, taught entrepreneurship at San Diego State University, and started six tech companies, of which one failed and the rest sold to industry giants such as Cisco and Lockheed Martin, according to his biography. Currently, he teaches at UCSD with his wife, Barbara Bry, and the pair writes a weekly newspaper column that has the same title as his book. Senturia maintains that the entrepreneur is a breed apart. To illustrate the point, he noted that when Bry asked 40 students in their class whether they would forsake the security of a bi-weekly paycheck to start a business, only eight hands went up. “I don’t think you can teach someone to be an entrepreneur,” Senturia said. “You can teach entrepreneurial principles. But at some level, this entrepreneur thing is in your DNA. I’m saying if you need to, it’s your nature, then you find a way to do it.” The book is a biography of sorts, offering vignettes from Senturia’s long career in making deals and running companies that are followed by a rule, almost always witty and quirky. The book contains 223 rules out of the 500 or so Senturia said
his experience in business has taught him. “In all proper immodesty and humility and arrogance, we get to the end and it’s going to the printer, and I make one change,” Senturia said. “I put the words ‘Volume One.’ I thought to myself, I’m not done telling stories so I want to let people know that Volume Two is coming eventually. It was a little hubris. I mean, Volume One. I did it tongue-in-cheek.” The 61-year-old Senturia said he hasn’t toured with the book because, of course, he’s been busy forming two new companies – Oberon Fuels and LonoCloud – since the book’s release. But the book has nonetheless opened new doors, including the chairmanship of a company that was offered to him after the company’s CEO read the book, he added. “(The book) taught me a lot of lessons,” Senturia said. “First of all, I had a lot of fun doing it. Number two, I did it for the wrong reasons but it worked out right. Or maybe I did it for the right reasons and it worked out wrong. I haven’t decided.”

Sage Canyon Kids Korps members support MS Bay to Bay Bike Race
Sycamore Ridge Kids Korps making blankets for Soldier’s Angels
On a wet and cool morning on Sunday, Oct. 23, kids from the Sage Canyon Kids’ Korp chapter helped to support the MS Bay to Bay Bike Race at the Torrey Pines Water Station. More than 2,300 cyclists rode 15, 30, 100 or 150 miles over two days. The Bike MS Bay to Bay tour supports the National MS Society’s mission to create a world free of multiple sclerosis, the most common neurological disorder leading to a disability in young adults. In addition to passing out water, the volunteers helped to cheer on the cyclists as they topped the hill on Torrey Pines Road. Photos/Rebecca Klein
By Marie LeRose, Sycamore Ridge Chapter Leader The Sycamore Ridge Kids Korps chapter kicked off the new school year by making Blankets for Soldier’s Angels. This organization supports our troops overseas, and these blankets are given to injured soldiers when they are transported for medical treatment. This is the 4th year that Sycamore Ridge volunteers have supported this organization, and it is a great project for elementary school children.
Del Mar experiences ‘Smashmob’
The Torrey Pines High School marching band outside Smashburger in Del Mar.
BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET Those who happened to be in downtown Del Mar on Tuesday, Nov. 1, around 5 p.m., heard and saw something unusual — a surprise performance by the entire Torrey Pines High School marching band, which weaved up and down Camino del Mar, from 15th to 9th streets, drumming fight songs and traditional tunes. (See photo at left.) Local employees spilled out of shops and restaurants onto the sidewalks, pedestrians stopped to take photos or record video and passing drivers waved and cheered. A thrilled and baffled City of Del Mar staff even stood outside City Hall to watch the performance. What was all the hubbub? None more than a well-recieved publicity stunt planned by the owners of Smashburger, which is partnering with Torrey Pines High by donating $1 from every burger sold in November to the school’s band program. Derived from the concept of a flashmob — a group of people who assemble unexpectedly in a public place to carry out some sort of stunt, protest or act — the folks at Smashburger called Tuesday’s performance a “Smashmob.” And from the reaction of the community, the idea seemed to be a “smash.”

Soldier Stories: ‘If I can save 100 Marines or 100 Army guys’ This column presents soldier stories to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.
BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Contributor As long as there are enemies of freedom, who spawn aggressive violence, there will be a need for fighting troops. Our United States Armed Forces preserve and protect what we hold most dear, because once liberty is lost, it’s hard to recover. If it were a peaceful world, Navy Aviation Ordnanceman Second Class (AO2) Anthony Ugolini would be in another line of work. But for now, we need him to do this job. You or I might walk into a multi-storied building or designer store to a job and nestle into a comfy cube or be surrounded by displays of alluring consumer products. Ugolini walks down to the 5th deck of a massive floating warship — home to 5,000 sailors doing very unique and diversified jobs. He nestles into a huge magazine full of munitions, surrounded by mega-tons of fire-power, where only the “qualified” can enter. The road to the 5th deck started six years after high school when his girlfriend (now his wife) said, “Why don’t you talk to my recruiter and see what they can do?” There was something that excited Ugolini when the recruiter talked about handling bombs, missiles, M -16’s, 50-caliber
Navy Aviation Ordnanceman Second Class (AO2) Anthony Ugolini weapons and other artillery. Prior to the military, Anthony remembers, “The coolest thing was going with a buddy to a gun range and handling a weapon there.” Favorable test scores landed him in Pensacola, Fla., in job training for Aviation Ordnance (AO). He graduated #1 in his class, which paved the way to a West Coast command, the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN76), homeported in San Diego, near his hometown of Los Angeles. A Nimitz class carrier, like the USS Reagan, is a floating air base, its mission to project air power worldwide without depending on a landlocked base from which to stage combat operations. Ugolini works in Weapons (G) Department, one of many departments onboard the ship which alone has five
distinct divisions within it. Ugolini is a beginning link in the chain of munitions flow. “I’m in G-3 (division) – they are bomb builders. We break out bombs, and build them up for a specific type of mission for whatever they need to do. We send them up to the (G-1) AO’s on the flight deck and let them issue them out. They distribute the bombs and missiles to the Squadron AO’s, who load the aircraft.” A carrier deploys approximately 70 aircraft, including bomb-toting F-18 fighter jets and HS-60 attack helos. “On G-2 is a mix of AOs and Gunner’s Mates (GM). They hold the small arms ammo and have to qualify personnel from the Weapons Department, Security Department, and Marines that come on board.
“The first couple times you’re down in a [carrier] magazine that carries a few hundred bombs at one time that aren’t built up yet – it’s nerve-wracking. It’s a serious danger if something were to go wrong. You want everybody going down and everybody coming up the same way they went downstairs.” There’s a saying as an AO, when you’re building bombs, “get it done the first time right.” Ugolini feeds off the letters they get from Marine and Army battalions saying “Hey — we appreciate the job you guys are doing with the ordnance. We haven’t had a dud since you got out here.” Anthony adds, “That lets me know as a team leader, the person organizing the bomb builds, that it was a successful build 100 percent of the time and that feels good – real good. These ground troops are sacrificing way more than any other department of the military. “As long as I can save 100 Marines or 100 Army guys…that’s what I care about.” Such was the case when Ugolini deployed to the Arabian Sea during Operation Enduring Freedom. “A sniper taking Marines out demanded a specific bomb get built. It had a proximity sensor, meaning it’s airburst, so instead of hitting the ground and taking everything out, it’s specific for one thing. It got
the mission done and saved countless Marines going around the block.” Navy Aviation Ordnancemen are “like the big Frat house in the military,” says this calm, dark-eyed Italian American. “All we are is ammunition. Our bond is real strong – real deep. Out to sea, we work Monday - Sunday 12 hours on and 12 off. There are problems, there’s pressure, just like any other job. To relax, I find myself at the gym a lot. I call or email my wife. She might have had a bad day I wasn’t there for. When we pull into foreign ports, the AO’s like to hang out together and be as normal as possible.” A “normal” day going into the Gulf straights towards Dubai comes to Ugolini’s mind. “We had gun watches on our .50 caliber mounts, and got a call there was a bomb threat in the port towards the ship.” Orders were given to keep eyes peeled for a ship or boat that could be a threat. Ugolini will never forget his A Gunner’s face, looking as if war had come to them. They couldn’t afford to have another USS Cole incident, the deadly attack against a Navy destroyer while it was harbored and refueled. “We had to bring Marines on board to help with extra watches until a Security Team swept the pier.” He calls his wife the hero, an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Fuels (ABF), who helps fuel aircraft on the flight deck. She recently volunteered to go on deployment, knowing it’s going to be difficult to leave her toddler and Anthony, now working on aircraft armament systems, at NAS North Island. Both will sacrifice, so their son can have a more secure life and future. Anthony would tell a critic; “You don’t know what we’ve been through — what we’re set up to do to defend this country for its freedom. We chose to do this. We know the dangers in it. This is what we do.” Ugolini used to drive a truck for an overnight mail delivery company. “I’d get so many deliveries in so many hours and I think that’s more strenuous than what I do now. While on the Reagan, we built hundreds of bombs and never had a single fail. It’s my job and I know the ins and outs of it.” Think I’ll seize the day, knowing the cause of liberty will not fail on AO2 Ugolini’s 5th deck.

Torrey Pines Falcons avenge regular season tie with the Murrieta Hawks BY BILL BUTLER In game three of the regular season, the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Falcons Pee Wee team played to a 24-24 tie with the Murrieta Hawks. Last Saturday, the Falcons traveled to Murrieta for a post-season rematch. The game was scoreless in the first quarter. Conner Whitton drove Torrey Pines deep into Murrieta territory but the Falcons were unable to score, as passes on third and fourth down were well defended by the Hawks’ secondary. On the next Falcon possession, quarterback Andre Nordan guided the Falcon offense down the field behind hard running by Zac Friedland, Beau Morgans, and Jackie Plashkes. Plashkes ran the ball in from the 20 yard line, and Ryan Wells added two points on a PAT kick. Gaining possession at the Murrieta 21-yard line, the Falcons would score again in the first half behind A member of the Torrey Pines Pop the running of Plashkes, Morgans, and Tyler Alexan- Warner Falcons Pee Wee team in der. Alexander got the score on a 2-yard sweep, and action. Wells again added a 2-point kick. The first half would end with the score 16-0. The Falcons would score twice in the second half, once on a 27 yard run by Friedland and on the last play of the game, as Alexander took the ball from a Murrieta back and sprinted 55 yards untouched into the end zone. A key factor for the victory was the Falcons dominant defense. The high scoring Hawk offense was only able to generate two first downs in the game and never moved the ball past the Falcon 47 yard line. Led by the stalwart front line of Gabe Gmyr, Carson Linxwiler, Chase Whitton, Tanner Watkins, and Kevin Misak, the Falcon defense denied Murrieta significant yardage inside or outside. When penetration was made, linebackers Louie Bickett, Plashkes, Garth Erdossy, and Mac Bingham were in position to make the tackles, aided by the cornerbacks Brandon Ray and Friedland and safety, Morgans. The Falcons will play one more post-season game on Nov. 5 against the Temecula Golden Bruins at Torrey Pines High School at noon.

Education Matters
Sleeping through lunch BY MARSHA SUTTON On the recommendation of the Associated Student Body, Torrey Pines High School offered students an incentive to do well on last spring’s statewide achievement tests by promising an extended lunch period if the school’s Academic Performance Index score rose. The idea seemed to resonate with the kids, TPHS principal Brett Killeen said. Marsha Sutton The API score rose by 10 points, an extended lunch – from 35 minutes to 80 minutes – was offered on Oct. 26, and the kids were thrilled. Right? Well, not quite. To maintain the minimum number of required instructional minutes, the school had to find a way to give students the extra 45 minutes for lunch as promised, without losing classroom time. “We have to be careful with those instructional minutes,” Killeen said. The controversial solution was to eliminate one latestart day and exchange it for the extended lunch day. As one student told me, it wasn’t really a reward of something extra; it was a substitution. “I don’t think it’s fair that they took away [a late start day],” said student Julia Yacker in the Torrey Pines High School student newspaper, The Falconer. “Everyone thinks that school starts too early.” Complicating the matter is that only juniors and seniors are allowed off campus for lunch. So the 9th- and 10th-graders had to remain at school for the 80 minutes. “Freshmen and sophomores are basically confined to the media center or quad for an hour and a half,” said 10thgrader Morgon Williams in The Falconer. One senior, who enjoyed a leisurely lunch off-campus with his friends, said it was more like a punishment than a reward for the 9th- and 10th-graders who had to stay behind. And even though he had a long lunch, he wasn’t sure it was worth trading in the late-start morning. Killeen called it a celebration but said the closed-campus rules still applied. For the students prohibited from leaving, he said the school’s ASB offered free food and planned a number of activities on campus Oct. 26, which included a dunk tank with Killeen as the target. When the long-lunch incentive was offered, most students didn’t realize they would be sacrificing a late-start morning. “Back then it was all kind of theoretical,” Killeen said. “We didn’t know in our calendar where we were going to be able to put it.” After the positive API gains were recorded, the issue was discussed with department chairs, he said, and it was decided that, to preserve the instructional minutes, “the best route to go would be in lieu of a late-start day.” On late-start days at Torrey Pines, school for the students begins at 8:55 a.m. instead of 7:40 a.m. Held nine or 10 times annually at TPHS, the late-start days allow teachers to come together at 7:40 a.m. to collaborate and conference. “Basically we gave up one collaborative time for staff to accommodate kids’ extended lunch,” Killeen said. He acknowledged that some students were upset about losing a late-start day. “I know there can be different sentiments about that, but they really did want this idea of the long lunch,” he said. For the older students, “they can actually eat a leisurely lunch as opposed to stuffing their faces and sprinting back to the school,” he said. For the younger students who remained on campus, “it’s our job to make sure that it is fun and engaging for them.” But because many students were unaware that a latestart day would be removed to accommodate the extended lunch, some questioned whether a longer lunch should have been proposed in the first place. Sleep-deprived teens Over a decade ago the San Dieguito Union High School District was presented with enough evidence to fill a classroom portable that later start times benefit sleep-deprived teenage students academically, socially and psychologically. They are happier, more alert, perform better scholastically, exhibit fewer aggressive and suicidal behaviors, have
reduced car accident rates, get along more amiably with both peers and authority figures, and have decreased incidents of police-reported after-school drug and alcohol abuse and criminal activity. Studies are there, evidence is solid, results are tangible and significant. Because a child’s circadian rhythm changes at puberty, medical experts explain that adolescents have trouble going to sleep early and getting up early. This shift makes teens excessively tired in the morning, but going to bed earlier won’t help. Based on all this, the school board was given petitions with hundreds of signatures from parents who had done their homework and were demanding a change from the ungodly 7:15 a.m. start time at Torrey Pines High School to a more reasonable 8:15 start time. But the school board “compromised” by settling on 7:45 a.m. Why? Sports. They’ll say it was for
other reasons – bus schedules would have to be rearranged, teachers didn’t want to fight traffic, parents said it interfered with their dropoff schedules, and even some students said they preferred to wake up at the crack of dawn. Most preposterous of all was the reasoning by some board members that the early start times should be maintained because many students are already academically successful. Never mind, I suppose, about all the others who aren’t – or those who could do so much better with a few hours’ extra sleep. What it really boiled down to – and still does – is that athletics demands that kids be released from school early enough to go play sports in the afternoons. Last year, Torrey Pines moved its start time back five minutes, so now school begins at 7:40 a.m. – easily an hour before it should start, based on research. Canyon Crest Academy’s start time was a more reasonable 8:15 a.m. until the start of the 2010 school year when school administrators, claiming there were traffic issues with nearby
November 3, 2011
15
schools, changed the start time to 8 a.m., instead of doing the right thing for kids and moving it 15 minutes later, to 8:30 a.m. Sports, again, was the determining factor. As an aside, predictably, reports are that the traffic congestion around CCA is actually worse now with an 8 a.m. start time than it was before. If there’s one single thing school districts could do to make a major positive impact on student achievement and the health and well-being of the general student body, it would be without question to move start times later and let kids get more sleep in the mornings. In light of all this, eliminating one of Torrey Pines’ precious late-start days (of which there are far too few already) to make room for a long lunch that only half the students could appreciate, was not really a reward at all – it’s a swap. And a bad one at that. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

San Dieguito Academy Boys Water Polo continues to grow The San Dieguito Academy Boys Water Polo Team 2011 is in its second year of existence and was organized by team parents in cooperation with the school. Because of a desire to have a team and with the hard work by parent Virginia Sullivan, SDA officially had its first boys novice and junior varsity water polo team last year. This year, SDA had its first varsity team, along with a junior varsity team. New coach Ryan Upper comes to the team as a 12-year military veteran and Army officer. He was a two-time swimming All-American at Riverside community college. In 2005 he came in third place in the Masters Waterpolo National Championships. Upper has experience coaching water polo for the University of Redlands, Riverside, University of Arizona and as a SDSU club and clinic coach. The SDA varsity team this year includes two seniors: Kolten Horner and Ritchie O’Reilly, along with Zak Dahl, Jared Davis, Sebastian Johnson, Danny Sullivan, Zachary Stevens, Nate Willert, David Martinez, and Cole Teza. The junior varsity team includes Cole Driscoll, Cooper Hoffman, Matias Marquez, Todd Petrassi, Peter Mlynar, Jacob Tuffs, Austin Caras, Cameron Waggoner, Chris Bennett, and Alex Vickery. The teams have played hard this year, despite the varsity 2-5 record, and gaining this year with the junior varsity 3 wins and 2 losses. Coach Upper has had to deal with several challenges this year, particularly pool practice time. Since SDA does not have a pool, the team has had to commute to the UCSD pool, with boys swimming from 7-8:30 p.m. They also swim at the Monroe Pool in Carlsbad, with the only available hours from 8-10 p.m. The team has had all away games because there has not been a pool available to the team. As a result, team parents have held several fundraisers to help with the pool rental costs and have helped to provide transportation. The season’s final games were held Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 (after presstime for this newspaper). A recognition event for players and volunteers will be held at the SDA Waterpolo Awards Banquet on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Encinitas Community Center.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: Cathedral Catholic was scored on in the first half of a game for the first time in six weeks, but that didn’t slow down the Dons very much at all as they extended their winning streak to five games with a decisive 28-3 Eastern League victory over Lincoln on Oct. 28. Since experiencing a 48-14 nonleague loss to Helix on Sept. 16 – the largest margin they’ve lost by in at least five years – the Dons have outscored their opponents by a combined 144-10 over their last five games. J.J. Stavola rushed for 132 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Dons, and quarterback Garrett Bogart was 7 for 15 passing for 150 yards. Andrew Pascale caught three passes for 120 yards. The Dons took 7-0 lead in the first quarter on Bogart’s scoring run from the 1. Lincoln scored on a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter to make it 7-3. Stavola scored from the 3 to give the Dons a 14-3 cushion going into the intermission. The Dons stretched their lead to 21-3 on Stavola’s scoring run from the 1 late in the third quarter. Then Stavola scored on a 60-yard run early in the fourth quarter to break the game open. Kyle Davis led the Dons defensively with six tackles and 2.5 sacks, and Casey Palid added seven tackles. The Dons still haven’t allowed a touchdown in the first half since the Helix game. They improved to 3-0 in league and 7-1 overall for the season. ***** Torrey Pines defeated Ramona 21-10 in a Palomar League game on Oct. 28. The Falcons won for the third time in four games as they won at home for the first time in four tries. Andrew Perkins rushed for 136 yards on 13 carries and Andrew Fargo rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries to lead a Falcons ground offense that combined for 312 yards.

North Shore softball opens Spring registration It may be fall, but the North Shore Girls Softball League is already gearing up for its Spring 2012 season. “It’s right around the corner and I’m both honored and excited to get the recreational season going,� says Cathy Scheg, North Shore’s new president. “We are fortunate to have an amazing group of volunteers working to provide girls 5 to 14 with a positive athletic experience in the game of fastpitch softball.� According to Scheg, a goal this year is to extend the league’s community outreach efforts to make more families aware of what North Shore has to offer. “We want families to know that softball is a sport that girls can enjoy throughout their elementary and middle school years and beyond,� says Scheg. “Many of our North Shore girls go on to play high school softball at Torrey Pines, Canyon Crest, and other high schools.� North Shore also plans to focus on im-
proving the level of play throughout the league through skills clinics, pitching lessons and a season that includes both scrimmages and games. An emphasis also will be placed on improving managers’ and coaches’ skills with clinics for coaches and league support. North Shore is the only league in San Diego County to offer a skills clinic for girls conducted by the coaching staff and players of the UCLA Bruins Softball Team. “We are very proud of our association with UCLA,� says Scheg. “Our girls truly benefit from this relationship. Girls come away from the clinic with new skills, and they are inspired to play the game of softball.� Registration is now open for girls from 5 to 14 years of age.

Motivated by experience, local family searches for cure for Usher syndrome BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor In 1993, Jill and Evan Stone’s two teenage children were diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a recessive gene causing hearing impairment and progressive vision loss. Motivated by their son’s and daughter’s condition, the couple decided to set their sights on helping discover a cure. The Stones are among the sponsors of the fourth annual San Diego VisionWalk, a 5K walkathon set for Nov. 13 at De Anza Cove in Mission Bay Park. A fundraising event for the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the goal is to raise $75,000 for research that will lead to preventions, treatments and cures for more than 10 million Americans affected by retinal degenerative conditions, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), macular degeneration, Usher syndrome and Stargardt disease. Along with the walk, there will be children’s activities, a bounce house, outdoor laser tag, music and refreshments. Dogs and strollers are welcome on the course. The foundation, established in 1971, is the world’s leading nongovernmental source for retinal disease research funding, having raised more than $425 million. It has funded studies at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Wilmer Eye Institute; Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary; and UCLA, Jules Stein Eye Institute. As national trustees for the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the Stones raise awareness, fundraise, and seek new sources of revenue for degenerative eye conditions. And the Del Mar residents are very involved locally, where research opportunities abound through biotechs, pharmaceutical companies, The Scripps Research Institute and UCSD’s Shiley Eye Center.
If you go What: San Diego VisionWalk When: Nov. 13; registration begins at 9 a.m., walk starts at 10 a.m. Where: De Anza Cove, Mission Bay Park Information: www.FightBlindness. org/SanDiegoVisionWalk
The Stone family: clockwise from left, Evan, Liz, Adam and Jill The Stones’ involvement with the foundation was inspired by their children, Liz and Adam. While the Usher’s diagnosis didn’t come right away, both kids showed symptoms from birth — they were born profoundly deaf, the most severe form of hearing loss. Everything seemed to be normal at first for Liz; it was when she started missing “milestones” such as holding her head up, crawling and standing — balance issues that are symptomatic of Usher’s — that her parents started to become concerned that something might be amiss. “The knee jerk reaction of the pediatrician was, ‘It’ll be fine,’ ” Evan said. “Well, it wasn’t.” One day, Jill’s great-uncle was whistling and noticed that Liz didn’t turn around in response. “He said, ‘This baby doesn’t hear,’ ” Evan said. A doctor confirmed Jill’s deafness when she was 9 months old. Because the Stones knew what signs to look for, Adam’s deafness was diagnosed much sooner, at 1 month old. The Stone family learned how to deal with the condition over the years. Hearing aids didn’t help that much, Jill

said. Communication occurred through lip reading; American Sign Language was introduced later on. Jill also spent a lot of time with the kids, and took them to occupational therapy, speech and hearing sessions. At age 4-and-a-half, Adam stopped making sounds. Growing increasingly worried, Jill and Evan turned to the Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis, which immerses children in the oral method. “It was incredibly difficult (for us to send him there, miles from home),” Evan said. “We went back to visit as often as we could. But we couldn’t communicate on the phone, and (Adam) couldn’t read well at age 4-and-a-half.” Adam made great progress at the school and was speaking full sentences within a few months, and reading shortly after that. Six months later, Liz, who had been in a program for deaf children in the Carlsbad Unified School District, started falling behind her hearing peers. The Stones made the difficult choice of also sending her to St. Louis. Liz attended the

New classic diner only one of its kind in Del Mar BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net There’s a major element of communities on the East Coast that hardly exists on the West Coast — classic neighborhood diners. That’s something Unal Samanci noticed when he moved to San Diego from Boston two years ago, and being a restaurateur himself, he decided to change all that. The 34-year-old recently opened Del Mar Diner, the city’s only classic ‘50s-style diner, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mimicking the retro red barstools and chairs you’d see in a midcentury movie and serving up a traditional menu, Samanci isn’t trying to offer something you’ve never had before. “It’s what you would expect from a classic northeast diner,” said Samanci. “Our specialties are hamburgers and sandwiches. The corned beef sandwich
is really good.” While you may know what to expect from a neighborhood diner that serves breakfast all day, there is something Samanci said sets his restaurant apart from many others — everything is homemade and he orders ingredients fresh daily. “In my 10 years in the restaurant business, I haven’t seen a place that orders daily,” he said. “We even make our own bread.” Samanci started working as a dishwasher in a café when he moved to Boston from Kurdistan about a decade ago, and within only 18 months he assumed a managerial position and bought the restaurant, which he owned for eight years. He sold the restaurant to relocate with his family, but having worked for eight years without much travel, he wasn’t sure exactly where he wanted to land.
“We drove south to Florida and we decided we would stay a little bit in each state and see which one we liked, but we didn’t see anything we liked,” he said. “My wife said California was nice, so I went to L.A. and didn’t like it. Then I went to La Jolla and the ocean and mountains were so beautiful. I knew that was where we were going to be.” In Kurdistan, Samanci earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and worked as a history teacher. Now that his business is up and running in Del Mar, he hopes to go back to school and

earn a Ph.D. His interest in politics and history stems from the political climate in his home country — Kurdistan was split between Syria,
Iran, Iraq and Turkey after World War I and there is a political movement that supports a sovereign nation for the Kurdish people. “As a person we are part of everything in the world and I want to understand the world around me,” he said. In the meantime, Samanci is putting all his effort
into Del Mar Diner, located at 2638 Del Mar Heights Road, and if things go well he may consider making it even more like diners in the northeast — by staying open late at night or even 24 hours. “We’ll see how things go,” he said. “If that’s what the community wants, we may do that.”

Canyon Crest Academy drummer booked to play ‘House of Blues’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Brandon Browning, 16, a Canyon Crest Academy sophomore and Music Conservatory student, has been booked to play at the House of Blues San Diego Saturday night, Nov. 12. He and fellow bandmates Max Varley and Jacob Banks, also of North County, formed their band, STRAY CHILDREN over five years ago. Already a big hit with locals, the up and coming STRAY CHILDREN have also been previously booked at the Epicentre in Mira Mesa, Electric Ladyland in Ocean Beach and Chain Reaction in Anaheim, in addition to many other local clubs. These clubs usually cater to the teen/under 21 age group, while the House of Blues is part of an internationally-recognized chain of music venues appealing to an older crowd, as well. The booking of this younger band at this venue says a lot about their talent and following. When asked who has influenced their sound the most, Brandon Browning stated, “The classic vintage punk bands, Rancid and old Green Day.� The band had an encouraging visit with the legendary Tim Armstrong, lead for Rancid at a recent concert. “He asked for our demos and we also talked with Branden, the drummer for Rancid.� said Browning. Browning is a serious musician and made a trip to New York to see the opening of the new rock opera, “American Idiot,� composed by Green Day. Green Day lead Billie Joe Armstrong (cousin of Tim Armstrong) happened to play the starring role in
that performance. The Canyon Crest Academy ENVISION Conservatory program offers advanced training to students who must audition to be accepted. Browning recently performed at an outdoor concert venue collaboration between the Music Conservatory and the Theater Tech Conservatory students. Held at the Amphitheater on campus, the combination of music, vocals, drumming and theatrical lighting created a unique performance. Browning has been studying drums for six years and in addition to the CCA Music Conservatory Program, he has studied under Damon De LaPaz, part-time drummer for BLINK 182, an internationally-known band. In addition to drums, Browning plays the guitar for his own enjoyment and is an accomplished painter. The House of Blues show is being presented by BreakThru Entertainment and will also include bands The Warned, The Cricks, The Voice Within and Curt Owen. Tickets for the Saturday night show on Nov. 12 are $10 and can be purchased directly from Brandon Browning by calling (760) 4730592 or email straychildren.info@gmail.com or ticketmaster.com. For a limited time, those that purchase tickets directly from Browning for the House of Blues show will also receive a free ticket to another show featuring STRAY CHILDREN to be held the following weekend at Electric Ladyland.

CCA’s Envision Theater to present ‘Dead Man’s Cell Phone’ The award-winning Canyon Crest Academy Theater Program will perform Sarah Ruhl’s “Dead Man’s Cell Phone,� a comedic adventure of a young woman who answers the phone of a man who died at the coffee shop table next to her and becomes entwined in the lives of his survivor. It explores how technology affects our connections with others. “Dead Man’s Cell Phone� will run Nov. 10-18 at the Black Box Theater at Canyon Crest Academy, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130, and is for mature audiences only. Tickets run from $8-15 and can be purchased at www.
cca-envision.org/events.html. Dead Man’s Cell Phone is an unusual choice for a high school. “We try to run our theater program like a regional theater, not a high school,� says Envision Theater Conservatory Director Michael Schwartz. “I’m always looking at what is new and what is being done around the country instead of the traditional, done to death shows. Sarah Ruhl, a Pulitzer finalist last year, is an important voice in American theater today. This play is definitely provocative and definitely forces the actors and audience to think about what we value and why we love.�

Music, dancing and Spanish dishes make Café Sevilla a choice delicioso BY KELLEY CARLSON afé Sevilla is a dining and entertainment venue seemingly straight out of Spain in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp District. The tri-level establishment showcases architecture with a Moorish influence, with arches and texture variations ranging from stone to wood to marble. On the dimly lit main level that is bathed in a red glow, guests casually socialize around tables while being scrutinized by the statue of a bull standing guard over the bar. Dangling from the immense ceiling is possibly the largest chandelier in Southern California, according to Michael Miller, restaurant manager. Meanwhile, the sounds of live music enhance the vibrant atmosphere — gypsy fusion, traditional flamenco and Latin pop — can be heard nightly, starting at 9 p.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. weekends. Patrons can watch the action below from the mezzanine, where chairs and tables line the edge. Tables draped in white linen are set slightly farther back, providing a more traditional restaurant setting. Sculptures of flamenco

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Go to the ‘Food’ section to find this story, then click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.
■ This week: Café Sevilla’s Brunch Paella dancers and ships encased in glass accent the room, and a large wine rack decorates the back wall. Below the main floor, in Sevilla Nightclub, the focus is on dancing. Café Sevilla’s flamenco dinner shows are strong and rhythmic, powerful yet graceful. Friday nights feature gypsy fusion, while Saturdays are more traditional flamenco. The area is dramatically lit in colors like red, green and blue, while a mirror ball in the center adds a playful touch. Guests enjoy a prix-fixe menu, including the famous Spanish dish of Paella Valenciana, with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, scallops, chicken and grilled Spanish sausages in saffron bomba rice. “An extravagant menu” with
“flavors that are explosive” is served all evening long at Café Sevilla, according to Miller. The signature tapas bar includes items such as Tortilla Espanola, with roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic and goat cheese; Warm Aged Goat Cheese with grilled bread; and Grilled Chicken Skewer. There are about a half-dozen choices of empanadas, including Cheese & Chorizo, Beef and Wild Mushroom. Among the entrees are Black Paella Tapa, with black bomba rice and seafood; Filet Mignon Chilindron, with mustard paprika sauce and mushrooms; and Lobster & Seafood Bisque. Children’s menus are not offered at Café Sevilla, but kids are accommodated, Miller noted. Brunch is available on Sundays, with an array of
items from fresh waffles to Seared Ahi Tuna Bites to Herb Marinated Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce, along with salads, tapas and a chocolate fountain. Perhaps the most popular item at Café Sevilla is a pitcher of sangria. Miller said that during the restaurant’s recent closure (as it was preparing for a move from Fourth to Fifth Avenue) most of the venue’s Facebook posts asked, “When will you open so I can have some sangria?” For a fun night on the town, Miller recommends coming late, enjoying dinner and listening to three hours of “amazing artists,” or perhaps taking a salsa lesson at the downstairs nightclub, where patrons “dress to impress.” For a more intimate experience, he suggests making reservations in the mezzanine. Out-of-town visitors may appreciate the flamenco dinner show. “Most diners are going out to have dinner,” Miller said. “We provide so many other options.” While Café Sevilla tends to be consistently busy, he said early dining is more relaxed. But by 9 p.m., “it’s an amazing, lively atmosphere,” Miller said. “At times, it rivals the club.”

‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ to have the Des McAnuff ‘touch’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Former La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Des McAnuff is at the helm of the “Jesus Christ Superstar” production coming to La Jolla Playhouse Nov. 18-Dec 31. The legendary rock opera, created by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice, first appeared on Broadway in 1971. The show replaces the scheduled premiere of the musical “Finding Neverland,” which was dropped from the season lineup this summer when one of the producing partners, Weinstein Live Entertainment, elected not to go forward with the production at the Playhouse. “Superstar” is loosely based on the last week of Jesus’ life and is newly interpreted under McAnuff’s direction. The show has played at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s for the past eight months, which is McAnuff’s new “home,” and to say, “tickets are going fast,” is no cliché. Chilina Kennedy (Mary Magdalene) has a lead role. “The reason this particular production is getting rave reviews is because of Des’ vision of bringing it into today’s sensibility with modern choreography and modern dress,” she said. “That’s really helped the

I think they will really like the focus on the love triangle between Jesus, Mary and Judas. I don’t think any other production has taken it to the lengths that Des has. For me, that really stands out.” Kennedy grew up in a military family and said she knew at a young age she wanted to be a performer. She’s appeared in Stratford’s “Kiss Me, Kate,” “Evita,” “West Side Story,” “Forum,” as well as, “Summer and Smoke,” “Wonderful Town” “Anne of Green Gables,” and others. “But this role is great, and it’s about who I would have a chance to work with — like Des, Rick Fox again (Music Director), Josh Young (Judas Iscariot), Paul Nolan (Jesus) and Brent Carver (Pontius Pilate). How could
you say no to that? “I was raised in a household with a strong feminist mother who had a lot of opinions on Mary Magdalene and her role in Jesus’ life, so it was interesting for me to explore that character.” The cast is enormous and principals include Bruce Dow as King Herod, and Mike Nadajewski as Peter. Most of the actors are from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival production, with some new members as well. The iconic songs will still enthrall the audience, but from the actor’s view, how does a performer make them fresh every night? “That is a challenge,” Kennedy said. “I did ‘Mamma Mia’ on the road for two-and-a-half years. Even in a show like this, that has been running for eight months, you have to develop techniques to keep things alive. One technique I use is point of focus. An actor can change a point of focus from show to show and it keeps things alive on the inside. The audience probably won’t notice this, but as an actor you certainly do.” Watch Des McAnuff and Antoni Cimolino discuss the show on Stratford Festival TV at http://www. youtube.com/watch?v=yT8S gHd2Uao&feature=player_ embedded

Del Mar student set to voyage around the world Insider tips to increase your chance for acceptance to your dream school truly believe that my life is greatly blessed through my assistance to others, and I sincerely hope that I never stop caring about or helping out the deserving populations who don’t have the means to help themselves.” During his entire three-and-a-halfmonth voyage around the world, Cole will remain immersed in his deeply rooted service efforts, while simultaneously engaging in academically stimulating classes and course-directed experimental field studies. Cole will have the opportunity to earn up to 15 college course credits through the University of Virginia, the academic sponsor of Semester at Sea, while he studies under internationally-recognized experts and some of the world’s finest faculty members from a variety of top rated colleges and universities, including Columbia, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford. January 19, 2012, marks the day in which Cole will begin his 11-country, 108day, global voyage. “The luggage Cole will be carrying as he boards the world-class vessel is overflowing with flexibility, rationality, humility, acceptance, generosity, discernment, and intellect,” says Dunning. “Cole is unceasingly exceeding my highest expectations. His natural leadership skills, unwavering dedication, desire to assist others, resourcefulness, and academic ambition are a superior blend that will undeniably catapult him to the top of any corporate ladder, place him center stage at any show, and fuel any fire he so chooses to ignite.” To learn more about Cal Coast Academy, call 858-481-0882 or visit www.calcoastacademy.com.

Nearly a quarter of admissions counselors (24 percent) recently admitted in a Kaplan survey to using Facebook to assess an applicant. The survey stated that the following offenses that could prevent you from admission: essay plagiarism, vulgarities in blogs, and photos showing underage drinking. Make sure your Facebook has the highest privacy settings and your content portrays you in the best light. Better yet, get off Facebook altogether and spend your free time studying for the SAT and working on your college essays. Competition for freshmen class slots is fierce.

BY ALANA ALBERTSON Every year, admissions counselors around the country review millions of college applications. How can you stand out from your peers and gain admission to your dream school? Follow these three tips below and increase your chances of attending your Alana Albertson favorite college: 1. Make Your College Application Stand Out! According to a survey by the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, the average admissions counselor spends no more than 15 minutes on the first read of an application. In order to make the cut, be sure that your application has been extensively proofread and edited. There should be no typos or grammatical errors and make sure to highlight your important accomplishments in the short answer portion to stand out. 2. Write an Amazing Essay! The same survey found that colleges have increased the weight of the essay from 14 percent in 1993 to 26 percent in 2009. As an admissions counselor, I’m looking for an essay to be unique and catch my eye. Don’t fall into the boring trap of writing about a common essay topic. I have no desire to read about your summer internship, your time building latrines in Mexico, or your award-winning

San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) upper and lower school students assembled on campus on Oct. 18 to celebrate the recent release of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit, who was captured on June 25, 2006 by Hamas and held captive in the Gaza Strip for over five years.

Nov. 12 concert by top young musicians, dancers will aid kids with complex congenital heart disease
On Monday, Dec. 5, from 6-9 p.m., Tender Loving Canines Assistance Dogs, Inc. (TLCAD) presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autism & Animals, An Evening With Temple Grandinâ&#x20AC;? to benefit a designated TLCAD fund to provide service dogs to TERI, Inc. and ACT Today! The benefit will take place at Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Auberge Del Mar and will feature hosted heavy hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and a welcome cocktail, no-host bar, opportunity prizes, and a special presentation by keynote speaker Temple Grandin, Ph.D., arguably the most accomplished and well-known adult with autism in the world. Tickets are $125 per person. Sponsorship and underwriting opportunities are available. For more information please visit www.tenderlovingcanines.org.
Dozens of talented young musicians and dancers from around the county will perform Nov. 12, from 7-9 p.m., in Solana Beach to improve the lives of children who have complex congenital heart disease. Money raised at the second annual Heart Of A Child concert will benefit the Ariana Ariana Miller Fund, a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 in memory of Ariana Miller, a 13-year-old Encinitas girl who died from the disease that year while waiting for a heart transplant. In its young history, the Ariana Fund has awarded about $25,000 in grants, including $5,000 recently to Resounding Joy to expand its Healing Notes music therapy program at Rady Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for children with congenital heart disease, and $5,000 to Camp del Corazon, a summer camp for children with heart disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are children with a limited quality and potentially length of life because their heart disease cannot be corrected or cured,â&#x20AC;? said Arianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Dr. Jeffrey S. Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They suffer other complications that can affect almost every organ system.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They undergo multiple surgeries and invasive procedures. Many of them will ultimately require a heart transplant to survive, and that may only be a temporary solution.â&#x20AC;? More than 300 people attended last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert, which raised over $14,000. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund-raiser will again feature a guest performance by Eve Selis, a local and internationally known singer and songwriter who has put out many CDs and was named Best Americana Artist at the 2010 San Diego Music Awards. The lineup includes young performers with a variety of talents:

Jewish Book Fair packed with special events BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO Staff Writer It’s 11 days of hard-hitting topics and lighthearted musings presented by folks so stoked about them that they’ve written books on the subjects and are arriving by the planeful to share their thoughts and observations. The authors are coming! The authors are coming! And they will be here as guests of the 17th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair comprised of Morning Coffee Conversations, Talks Over Lunch, and Evening Lectures, Nov. 3-13, mainly at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. The authors are prime ministers’ sons, historians, novelists, baseball players, psychiatrists, journalists, broadcasters, musicians, chefs, rabbis, comedians and ADHD survivors. Their topics run the gamut from The Rise of the Israel-Islamic Conflict to How We Age to The Secret Lives of Wives. Real page-turners. The JCC’s Marcia Wollner, Director of Literary Arts and Educational Resources, described the book fair this way: “We believe that it is our mission to expose the community at large to new ideas, great thinkers … and that literature nourishes one’s soul and mind. We believe that this program provides something for everyone — including families, children, teens, educators and adults. “To this end, we’ve added Yon Limmud: San Diego’s Community Day of Learning, as the culmination to the fair. This new program will enable the community to come together in one venue at one time to experience many concurrent programs. With the addition of Yom Limmud, we will be providing the community with more speakers than in the past over this amount of time.” The book fair opens with Ariel Sharon’s son Gilad discussing his father’s legacy as presented in the biography “Sharon: The Life of A Leader,” at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5. It closes with NBC correspondent Martin Fletcher reading from his semi-autobiographical novel, “The List,” at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12. In between are book

Exhibit has art you can touch FROM UCSD REPORTS In addition to offering classes and workshops, the Crafts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grove Gallery on UCSD campus features exhibits in contemporary crafts and ethnic art. Now through Nov. 18, the Crafts Center presents, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art U Can Touch,â&#x20AC;? an exhibit intended to help people with visual-impairments overcome the barrier they experience at most museums by allowing everyone to experience the art by touching it. Sighted people will also learn to experience the art without their eyesight. The idea for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art U Can Touchâ&#x20AC;? exhibit was spurred by an encounter between two students, Helen Kagan and Ahmet Ustunel, who met in a ceramics class at the Crafts Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We noticed that blind people are usually not allowed to touch art in museums, so they are prevented from learning about the great masterpieces of every culture,â&#x20AC;? Kagan said. Ustunel is visually-impaired and an artist. He first started making sculptures when he was a child and has been taking classes in pottery-making at the Crafts Center for about two years.
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Exileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
If you go What: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art U Can Touchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exhibit When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday to Nov. 18 Where: Grove Gallery, UCSD Crafts Center Directions: http:// crafts.ucsd.edu/ Admission: Free Contact: (858) 5342021 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since art is generally regarded as a visual aesthetic, many artists and museum visitors consider the sense of touch to be secondary,â&#x20AC;? Ustunel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to emphasize a different aspect of art: tactile beauty.â&#x20AC;?
The exhibit will feature works from local artists including members of the Crafts Center Faculty, the San Diego Potters Guild, Sculpture Guild and Allied Craftsmen. In addition, works from visually-impaired artists will be on display. The exhibit will feature a variety of media including sculptures, ceramics, fiber arts, glass, metalworks and jewelry. The art will showcase interesting textures and shapes and none of the pieces will be easily broken or dangerous to touch. The UCSD Crafts Center provides personal enrichment and creative educational opportunities to students interested in making art that includes jewelry-making, drawing, lampworking, glassblowing, weaving and other crafts. Upcoming events at the Crafts Center include the winter sale from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1 where shoppers can buy unique jewelry, ceramics, glasswork and more, all made by faculty and students. Fall registration for Crafts Center classes will continue to Dec. 3. For more information, visit http://crafts.ucsd.edu/

Vodka ‘n’ views only part of Pacifica’s success story
Above: Pacifica Del Mar recently revamped its bar area, now called the Ocean Bar. Right: Kipp Downing, owner of Pacifica Del Mar. COURTESY PHOTOS BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Sometimes, if it’s not broken, you still fix it. Or at least, that’s part of what’s kept Pacifica Del Mar at the top — literally — of its game for more than 20 years. Sitting higher in elevation than most other Del Mar restaurants and offering ocean views from almost every seat in the house, the restaurant recently underwent a massive renovation and rebranding in its bar area, which has consistently been the busiest part of the establishment since its beginnings as a 10seat bar. It has now grown to 30 seats, in addition to table seating, and the project cost totals about $700,000.
“In our 20 years, we’ve undergone at least five major remodels,” said owner Kipp Downing, who has been a local restaurateur since 1980. “Some places in Del Mar haven’t changed one thing in 22 years … We’re trying to keep it cutting edge because we’re competing with new restaurants, especially in Del Mar Highlands. Five or six new restaurants have opened there since August.” Pacifica offers a fine seafood restaurant, as well as the Breeze Cafe brunch joint, but the focus of the recent remodel was the bar, which Downing has reinvented and named the “Ocean Bar.” About 20 years ago the bar
was informally known as the “Mustard Bar,” a name that was derived from the bar’s mustard-colored finish, but for the most part it has gone nameless for the past two decades. In addition to the name, Downing has added something you don’t see every day — a vodka bar containing more than 150 types of vodka from all over the world. Downing said the bartenders educate guests about all the vodka flavors and variations, and that he likes seeing those who are attached to a certain brand try some-
thing new. “If you don’t like it, we can pour something different,” he said. “But nine times out of 10 people are glad to have something they’ve never had before.” Unlike tequilas, vodkas come from all over the world, which adds to the variety and appeal. “If you had 100 different types of gin I don’t think anyone would care,” said Downing. “But vodka is different. There are so many ways you can drink vodka.” Walking into the Ocean Bar, guests may also notice that it’s quite a bit bigger. Downing acquired space from what used to be a neighboring jewelry store and made it part of Pacifica, which involved knocking out the wall in between. “It wasn’t as easy as it looks because that wall was actually holding up two buildings,” Downing said. He ended up having to engineer and construct a weight-bearing “moment frame” — a project that, in itself, cost about $20,000. The entire renovation will be complete in January with the addition of more bath-
room space, which Downing is waiting to complete after the busiest season (as to not inconvenience guests). There’s no question that renovating is expensive, Downing said. But in the end, it pays for itself. “One of the problems with Del Mar is that it’s been static in many ways,” he said, but places that have renovated — such as Poseidon and the Wells Fargo on Camino del Mar that became a mixed-use office complex — have been success stories. Through good times and bad, many of the restaurants in Del Mar have stayed the course, but Downing said he’d like to see more independent retail come to Del
Mar to offer more of an experience. If people come to shop, he said, it’s a given that they will eat too. He also said it’s harder to find new guests than to keep guests coming back time and again, so he caters to the locals and focuses on “taking good care of North County.” Another element of Pacifica’s success is right in line with the saying: “location, location, location.” “Before I opened Pacifica, I always thought if you have a restaurant with an ocean view and you don’t screw it up then you’ll be in business for a long time,” he said. “That’s been true.”

San Diego Beer Week festivities coming to Carmel Valley Nov. 11 BY KAREN BILLING BeerNerdz is bringing San Diego Beer Week festivities to Carmel Valley. On Friday, Nov. 11, BeerNerdz and the Pacific Athletic Club will host a craft beer tasting challenge, serving up sips of the best brews San Diego has to offer. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. “I thought it would be a perfect fit, most people live within a few miles of the PAC and this is way to experience San Diego Beer Week without having to travel far,” said BeerNerdz founder Eric Barajas, who has been a trainer at PAC for 10 years.

(Nov. 4-13) capitalize on the burgeoning brew business in San Diego — there are currently 37 craft breweries in the county and more keep popping up. “We are definitely are a mecca,” Barajas said. “San Diego is becoming what Napa is to wine.” Its about more than just the quantity of San Diego craft beer brewers, it’s also the high quality. San Diego beers have won more awards than any other region at the Great American Beer Fest, a national competition. This year Pizza Port Ocean Beach and brewer Yiga Miyashiro won the small brewpub and small brewpub brewer of the year, and the awards for large brewpub and brewer of the year went to Pizza Port Carlsbad. The Nov. 11 event will be held in BeerNerdz style—tasters will be given a scorecard with tasting notes, alcohol percentage, brewery and beer names. The goal is to match the beer descriptions such as “Pours an amber color. Big malty aroma with a slight hop smell” with what’s being tasted. Some of the breweries represented will be Ballast Point, The

Beer Company, Hess, Green Flash Beer Company and Port Brewing Company. Pale ales, India pale ales (IPAs), reds and cream ales will be served by keg. There will also be bites to eat and each attendee will leave with a souvenir glass. Barajas’ BeerNerdz company has been around for just a few short months and is a branch of his FoodNerdz restaurant tours. Barajas came up with the idea for the food tour after a trip last year to Seattle to see the Chargers play—he had designed a foodie’s dream itinerary for himself and his family. Experiencing all the great tastes of the city, Barajas thought there was no reason why he couldn’t start a similar adventure in San Diego and FoodNerdz tour was born. His love of beer, especially IPAs, and living in such a great craft brew town helped originate the BeerNerdz side that has really taken off. “I haven’t even gotten to the food part yet,” Barajas admits. With BeerNerdz tours and tastings, he wanted to create something that would be fun and challenging for a beer nerd like himself, but also something that his wife (not the biggest beer fan) would enjoy. “A lot of women attend now shockingly, ” Barajas said. “They had no idea that beer could be like this, they’re starting to give it a try.” At the blind tastings, Barajas also has people write down what their favorite stations were—at the end of the day they may figure out that all this time they were strictly pale ale patrons when stout wasn’t as intimidating as they thought. BeerNerdz has hosted several tasting challenges at The Beer Company’s private downtown loft and has organized brewery tours—tasters travel by trolley to three local breweries. He hopes to conquer the corporate and tourist markets, showing visitors the beer scene that is putting San Diego on the brew master map. “In the San Diego beer scene, everybody wants to help each other out, that’s what has made it flourish,” Barajas said.

Del Mar doctor to hold webinar on breast cancer prevention BY CATHERINE KOLONKO Contributor A Del Mar doctor who has practiced integrative medicine for decades hopes the internet will help him spread his message on the importance of prevention in fighting breast cancer. Breast cancer prevention is just as important as finding a cure for the disease, said Barnet Meltzer, M.D., who plans to hold a webinar on the subject Nov. 17 via maketimeforwellness. com, an internet site dedicated to his wellness and weight loss clinic. Too often emphasis is placed solely on how to treat the disease when the real solution is to stop it before it starts, he said. Meltzer plans to cover a whole gamut of topics surrounding breast cancer with an emphasis on prevention and integrative medicine that takes into account the whole person, not just the condition. Integrative techniques such as stress management, fitness and meditation complements traditional medicine and gives women better long-term result, said Meltzer. The talk will also provide information about Save the Ta-Tas
foundation, which supports independent research on breast cancer. Meltzer said he wants to promote discussion on breast cancer prevention, which gets the short shrift compared to the millions of dollars raised in recent years for detection and treatment. Part of the problem, as he see is it, is that society does not recognize or properly encourage the value of a healthy lifestyle and how it can help prevent disease. “We need to make wellness a value, “said Meltzer and that’s where integrative medicine can help because it combines traditional western medicine with a medical philosophy of prevention, what Meltzer calls the best of both worlds. “When you’re talking about preventive medicine, you’re really talking about how you empower people to stay well and be well. You kind of get to it before it gets to you. “Don’t leave your health to chance,” adds Meltzer. “It’s too important.” Food choice and physical fitness can go a long way to reduce the risk of cancer and chronic illness. Howev-
Dr. Barnet Meltzer er, many people mistakenly believe that getting breast cancer happens by chance or because of genetics and therefore nothing can be done to prevent it, said Meltzer. Mental and emotional fitness also are important components of prevention because stress is another risk factor that leads to ill health and disease, including breast cancer, according to Meltzer. In today’s world, the average person walks around feeling stressed, tired and “burned out,” yet traditional medicine rarely offers a solution, said Meltzer. Part of his discussion will address how to identify “burn out” and what to do to improve a person’s well being. What we eat and drink
can turn toxic in the body, said Meltzer, who will discuss specific foods to avoid as well as which top three cancer- fighting food groups can decrease the risk for breast cancer. Those who tune into the webinar can also learn how a high acidic diet causes inflammation within the body. Meltzer said his own research, as well as other studies, have shown that cancer grows in a more acidic environment. To explain the reason he said to picture a bicycle left outdoors that eventually starts to rust. An acidic diet is similarly corrosive over time to mechanisms and organs of the body. “Your body gets acidic from three things — environmental, stress factors and nutritional factors,” said Meltzer. Of those three factors, the simplest process to change is making a decision to change how you eat, he said. Meltzer plans to discuss ways to balance the body’s chemistry of acidic and alkaline levels by paying close attention to what you eat. Foods that generate high acidity include those high in unsaturated fats like red
meat, chicken, and, he adds, even fish. The foods that Meltzer recommends to women who want to reduce their breast cancer risk through nutrition are more alkaline-based. They include fresh fruit, vegetables, and plant-based proteins such as nuts, beans and legumes. “I think the most important thing for women to realize is that they play a role in this, that they have a big hand in how things turn out” by deciding whether to choose a high- or low-risk life style, said Meltzer. Meltzer points out that there are not a lot of fit, healthy and well-adjusted people who get breast cancer. That doesn’t mean that someone who looks slim and fit is safe from the disease. Appearances sometime deceive, said Meltzer. While obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer, a slender person with a diagnosis may have other less visible risk factors such as high stress levels or poor nutrition. That’s why prevention is best achieved through all aspects of wellness, from nutritional food to a healthy mind, body and spirit, said Meltzer. Today’s world is full of
emotional, financial and spiritual minefields that can throw our bodies off balance, said Meltzer. Few people can escape these stresses and without proper intervention, they chip away at the body’s immune system, rendering its defense mechanisms too weak to fight off germs, toxins and disease. The breast cancer awareness webinar will last about an hour and include a question and answer period at the end, Meltzer said. It can be accessed via the internet or by phone. This is the first of a series of webinars that Meltzer and his son are planning to promote integrative medicine. Future plans include presentations on preventive health measures for people over 40. “Our main purpose is to get people interested in health and to get them to get their families interested in health and try to get more and more accurate information out there,” said Meltzer. “That’s why we are launching this part of these webinars on breast cancer.” The webinar is free with registration of an email address on Meltzer’s website at www.maketimeforwellness.

USHER continued from page B1 school for grades six and seven, and returned home once she was caught up. At age 10-and-a-half, Adam also came back to Del Mar, so the Stones could spend one year together as a family before Liz graduated from Torrey Pines HIgh School and went off to college. During the summer of 1993, Liz came home on break from the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York and told her parents that she wanted to have her eyes examined. According to Evan, Liz said that people were starting to think she was snobby, because they would wave to her and she didn’t respond. “She realized she couldn’t see them,” Evan said. The Stones then made an appointment to get Adam’s eyesight checked. “We figured if one had it, the other had it,” Jill said. Sure enough, after visits to ophthalmologists and various other specialists, Jill and Evan’s fears were confirmed — both of their children had type 1C Usher syndrome. Not only were they deaf and had problems with balance, they were progressively losing their vision. They had al-
ready lost various parts of their peripheral view. “Fortunately, in their situation, it’s slow,” Jill said. And neither Liz nor Adam let their disease stop them from being successful. Liz, now 36 years old, received her master’s degree in public administration from American University in Washington, D.C., and works as a project manager and trainer at the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center, part of Gallaudet University, also in Washington. She got married this past summer, and goes by Liz Nirenberg. Adam, 30, who like Liz graduated from Torrey Pines, went on to earn a master’s degree in deaf education from UCSD, and is a firstgrade teacher at an ASL bilingual elementary school in Manhattan. He also taught school for a year in Sri Lanka and makes an annual trip, even serving as a tour group guide this past summer. Both Jill and Adam are very involved in their communities and are spokespeople for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. “It’s not a hopeless situation,” Jill said. “They do have vision loss, but it doesn’t seem to affect that much of how they live their lives.”
But the Stones have remained hopeful all these years that a cure could be found. “Thinking back in 1993, we thought they would soon have something to stop the vision loss,” Evan said. “Eighteen years later, we’re still waiting.” However, a breakthrough may be on the horizon. Evan noted that researchers funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness recently restored vision in a dog that had a similar retinal disorder to their children through gene therapy. “They didn’t just stop the vision loss; they restored it,” he emphasized. Jill added that efforts have now gone to human trials and have very recently been successful in restoring some sight to 20 children and young adults. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved a clinical trial of UshStat, a gene therapy for Usher syndrome type 1B developed by Oxford BioMedica, a “first cousin” of the gene that Liz and Adam carry. The trial will be the first human study of a vision treatment for Usher syndrome, which affects as many as 50,000 people in the United States. It will be conducted at Casey Eye In-

stitute, Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and as many as 18 patients will be enrolled. “We’re hoping the treatments the foundation is working on will stop the progression or reverse it,” Jill said. “Eventually, they will figure out ways — it’s just a question of timing,” Evan said. The Stones became involved with the foundation in the mid-’90s, a few years after their children were diagnosed with Usher, and have been on the board of trustees since the early 2000s. In 2003, Jill and Evan, along with a committee, launched the San Diego Blind Wine event, which has since morphed into the foundation’s local Dining in the Dark fundraiser. Held in late spring/early summer, guests eat an entree in complete darkness to simulate the experience of the blind, heightening their other senses. The servers are visually impaired, and specially trained to use a system of ropes and stanchions to navigate the dining area. Jill said guests attempt to guess the entree afterward. “It brings a lot of excitement — about
Q&A continued from page B1 followed the sun and opportunity, and that brought me to San Diego. 2. What makes your work special to you? I am really proud of the quality of our work and our long-term relationships. In addition, I enjoy seeing my people learn and grow. 3. What would you still like to achieve professionally or personally? I am looking to create more stability around both my personal and professional life. 4. Who or what inspires you?
what you’re eating, whether you’ll knock over your wine,” she said. Silent and live auctions are also held during the event. Jill and Evan were honorary chairs at San Diego’s first Dining in the Dark in 2008, and have served on the committee since then. The San Diego community has raised more than $1 million for research since 2003. Along with Dining in the Dark, VisionWalk serves as a major fundraiser for the foundation; more than 50 are held around the country each year. The Stones’ extended family — including grandparents and friends — make sure to get involved with the events, and Jill’s brother and cousin have a VisionWalk team in Michigan. Evan and Jill will be among the San Diego VisionWalk participants; their team, Rolling Stones (West), is open to anyone who wants to be a part of the experience. To join as a walker or donate to the team, contact Events Manager Cheyanne Sauter at (310) 450-2910 or CSauter@FightBlindness. org. For more information, go to www.FightBlindness.org/SanDiegoVisionWalk.
I’m inspired by people who always live their values and treat both themselves and others in a very kind manner. 5. If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Buddha (he always is happy!) David Letterman (always has a good joke) Blake Canedy (my man) Mom (of course) John D. Rockefeller (to get some tips!) Dalai Lama (to get different tips :> ) Megan Fox (my date for the evening) John Belushi (to add character) 6. Tell us about what
you are currently reading. “The Call” by Oz Guinness 7. What are your favorite films? “The Blues Brothers!” Greatest all-time movie EVER! 8. What do you do for fun? Play basketball, travel, hang out with friends. 9. What is your favorite vacation destination? Quiet beach (outside of San Diego!) 10. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. A year ago I finished up a master’s degree in spiritual psychology, which has been life changing (for the good!)

CATHARINE KAUFMAN Contributor ’Tis the season for college recruiting, and if you have a culinary passion, then perhaps you should check out the CIA. No, not the “Big Brother is Watching You” peeps, but the Culinary Institute of America, aka The Harvard of Culinary Schools. Its team of regional recruiters and alumni chefs recently presented a pitch session at the UCSD Faculty Club. “Food is life: Create and savor yours,” is the mantra that marinates throughout the trio of CIA campuses. The main hub is in Hyde Park, New York bustling with 2,700 students, while a pair of satellites is on the Greystone campus in St. Helena in Napa Valley, and a fledgling one in San Antonio, Texas. Students can receive an associate’s degree by majoring in either Culinary Arts, or Baking and Pastry Arts. At the end of fresh-
Ingredients: 2 small pineapples, diced 8 small, ripe mangos, diced 2 small jalapeno peppers, diced 2 tablespoons of canned Embasa brand chipotle chilies 3 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped 1 tablespoon of pickled ginger, chopped 2 tablespoons of red onion, chopped 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed
man year, they complete an externship for 18 weeks at any one of 1,300 approved sites worldwide — including Disneyland, RitzCarlton, Hilton and Four Seasons’ properties, and George’s at the Cove in La Jolla — and then return to campus to finish their degrees. If they continue with more courses, they can receive a bachelor’s. According to Terri Ann Parks, regional recruitment director, “although competition is stiff, 70 percent of applicants are admitted.” The Culinary Arts program serves up such courses as Food Safety, Culinary Math, Nutrition, History and Cuisines of Asia, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Americas, and the business side Restaurant Operations, and Communications and Finance. If your druthers is being elbow deep in dough,
lime juice Method: In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and chill.
then the Baking and Pastry Arts program is for you. It offers courses on Chocolates and Confections, Contemporary Cakes and Desserts, Hearth Breads and Rolls, and Café Operations. Students take some of classes in the various campus restaurants where they both cook and serve the food. The Wine Spectator at the Greystone campus is a full-on restaurant with wine pairing. Campus “sports” include Chili and Chowder Cook-Offs, Ice-Carving Competitions, and Baking and Cheese Clubs, with items sold at farmers markets. The CIA has more than 150 master chef instructors, and a Top Chef Series that includes lessons from alumni like Duff Goldman, star of Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes,” Cat Cora (Iron Chef America); and Antho-
ny Bourdain of the Travel Channel’s “No Reservations.” San Diego alum chef Barry Schneider, class of 1985, said, “CIA opens doors and gives you access to its employment placement service for life.” For Schneider, those doors include 38 years (and going strong) as executive chef for Premier Food Services at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Racetrack. He seamlessly runs 11 restaurants each summer and mentors students in and out of his kitchen. “It’s an ever-changing industry that needs talented people,” Schneider said. “If you can read a recipe and learn techniques, you’re on your way.” Send questions to kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit www.FreeRangeClub.com.

Davidson Communities delivers 44 Torrey Highlands lots to Pulte Homes San Diego homebuilder Davidson Communities has announced that MREC-Davidson Fairbanks LLC has sold 44 lots from its Davidson’s Fairbanks Country Villas Development to Pulte Homes. In January 2011, Davidson Communities acquired the nearly 100-acre Fairbanks Country Villas with the intention to finalize entitlements, do all the land development, complete finished lots and sell the south neighborhood to a well-respected homebuilder. “We look forward to being neighbors with Pulte and together providing distinctive high-end residences with easy access to Route 56, shopping and the high-achieving Westview High School,” said Mike Levesque, chief operating officer of Davidson Communities. Located near Carmel Valley Road and Caminito Vistana, the property has been divided into two neighborhoods. With Pulte building homes on the south parcel, Davidson will offer 41 homes in the Miraval neighborhood on the north parcel. Davidson’s Miraval is a gated community featuring three distinctive, two-story floor plans offering four to six bedrooms and 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms. Each floor plan features a two-car garage, a downstairs bedroom with a full bath, and family friendly features like cozy dens, teen lofts and walk-in kitchen pantries.
