Water rates to rise 6 percent in January Santa Fe Irrigation District board votes 3-2 on decision

■ With nonprofit, local man backs child-rescue charities.

BY JOE TASH A sharply divided water board Nov. 17 approved a 6 percent rate increase as of Jan. 1 for customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch.

Before approving the rate hike on a 3-2 vote, the panel was twice unable to pass a motion increasing rates on customers next year. Some board members were concerned that a larger increase is needed to maintain district reserves and pay for capital improvement projects, while one board member wanted to avoid any increase.

In the end, directors Andy Menshek, Ken Dunford and Michael Ho-

gan voted for the 6 percent increase, while directors Robert “Bud” Irvin and John Ingalls voted “no.”

The vote means 2012 is the fifth year in a row that the Santa Fe Irrigation District will have raised rates on its customers, by a total of 68 percent. District officials have said the main reason for the steadily increasing rates is a corresponding jump in the cost of water from the district’s suppliers, the Metropolitan

“I’ve been on this council for 20 years and this is something we’ve been dreaming of a long time,” said Councilman Joe Kellejian. “Not only will it change the design and appearance, but it will drastically change

the economy too.”

The presentation of final plans follows an Aug. 31 special meeting in which direction was provided in council discussion and in public testimony. That direction includes the elimination of reverse-angle parking, the utilization of deco-

rative streetlight and traffic signal poles, and the addition of four new crosswalks.

The city also wants to remove all existing newspaper racks and work with providers to relocate and use uniform, decorative racks.

Research Report: UCSD team finds autism link to brain overgrowth

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN A study by researchers at the UCSD Autism Center of Excellence shows that brain overgrowth in boys with autism involves an abnormal, excess number of neurons in areas of the brain associated Lynne with social, communication, Friedmann and cognitive development.

Relying on meticulous, direct cell counting, scientists discovered a 67 percent excess of cortical cells — a type of brain cell only made before birth — in children with autism.

The findings suggest that the disorder may arise from prenatal processes gone awry and confirms a relatively recent theory about possible causes of autism. Small head circumference at birth, followed by a sudden and excessive increase in head circumference during the first year of life, was first linked to development of autism in 2003.

The current study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Society (JAMA).

News release at bit.ly/thup3F. Forecasting solar power production The space shuttle program may have ended, but data collected by astronauts during the past three decades are still helping advance science, this time with the assistance of the Triton Resource, a supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.

For example, researchers at UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering recently used measurements from NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission to predict how changes in elevation, such as hills and valleys, and the shadows they create, impact power output in California’s so-

lar grid. Heretofore, large-scale models used to calculate solar power output did not take elevation into account.

The researchers used 60,000 processor hours to run calculations on Triton Resource to create a new model that includes detailed elevation data. The model is being made available publicly on a large scale, including all of Southern California, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. Utility companies and homeowners can use the model to get a more realistic picture of the solar power output they can typically expect to produce. More information at bit.ly/sWcB4i.

Pollution intensifies cyclones Pollution is making Arabian Sea cyclones more intense. Traditionally, prevailing wind shear patterns prohibit cyclones in the Arabian Sea from becoming major storms. A study, involving scientists at UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, suggests the weakening of winds aloft has enabled the formation of stronger cyclones in recent years — including storms in 2007 and 2010 that were the first recorded ever to enter the Gulf of Oman.

The researchers note that the weakening wind pattern over the past 30 years has corresponded with a buildup of aerosols in the atmosphere over India. This aerosol buildup creates formations known as atmospheric brown clouds (ABCs) in which smog from diesel emissions, soot, and other by-products of biomass burning accumulate and become widespread to a degree significant enough to be a force in regional climate.

Scripps Health and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego join forces to offer new weapon in the fight against childhood cancer Scripps Health and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego recently announced they will team up to provide advanced proton treatment at Scripps Proton Therapy Center to pediatric cancer patients who need this highly accurate form of therapy.

According to the center’s medical director, Dr. Carl J. Rossi, Jr., proton therapy is generally preferable to conventional Xray radiation for pediatric patients. “X-ray radiation continues to play a vital role in treating childhood cancers, but its longterm side effects can be devastating, as growing organs are highly sensitive to radiation,” Rossi said. “Long-term effects can include growth and hormonal deficiencies and the risk of secondary cancers later in life.”

In contrast, the accuracy of proton beams are ideal for pediatric patients and have been successfully used with children for more than 20 years.

“Proton beams allow for significant sparing of normal tissue compared to X-ray therapy and their use has been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of long-term complications in children,” Rossi said.

For certain cancers, proton therapy offers a more precise and aggressive approach to destroying cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, compared to X-ray radiation.

Proton therapy involves the use of a controlled beam of protons to target tumors with control and precision unavailable in other radiation therapies. The targeted delivery of proton energy limits damage to healthy surrounding tissue and allows for a more potent and effective dose of radiation to be used.

“Scripps Proton Therapy Center will be a community resource that will bring together patients, physicians and researchers in the fight against cancer,” said Scripps Health President and CEO Chris Van Gorder. “We’re particularly pleased to make this sophisticated technology available to the children of our community and their outstanding physicians at Rady Children’s.”

Currently under construction in Mira Mesa, the Scripps Proton Therapy Center is a $220 million cancer treatment and research facility that is expected to open in spring 2013. The 102,000-square-foot facility – which will be just the second such center west of the Rockies – will have the maximum capacity to treat approximately 2,400 adult and pediatric patients annually.

Skyline robotics team innovates, earns ‘Gracious Professionalism’ award

BY MEGAN MCVAY Few people are wired to program a robot and calculate its movements down to the very last centimeter. So, naturally, when members of the Solana Beach community learned about a 6th grade robotics team called Einstein Works, they were shocked and more than willing to plug themselves into the team’s efforts and help out.

This summer, Solana Beach resident Judy Wagner began the planning stage of the Skyline 6th grade robotics team with her daughter, Hannah Wagner, and her daughter’s classmate, Jack Resnick. Soon, the two-person team grew and the official team of nine was established in late September and began preparing for its first competition at High Tech High, which was held on Nov. 6.

Although Einstein Works is certainly one-of-a-kind in the Solana Beach community, the team is only one of the 19,800 teams from 50-plus countries created under the FIRST program, called FIRST Lego League (FLL).

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a nonprofit public charity founded in 1989

by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway (the first selfbalancing, zero emissions personal transportation vehicle).

The charity’s goal is to foster important life capabilities, including self-confidence, communication and leadership, and ultimately inspire young people to become science and technology leaders.

Einstein Works is a part of the FIRST program called Lego League, a program that seeks to expose students from the ages of 9 to 14 to real-world engineering challenges by requiring them to build LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface.

For this rookie robotics team, the only thing more problematic than a potential electricity shortage was their time shortage. Because they established their team late in September, they had little over a month to prepare for the FLL Qualifying Tournament.

Even before beginning the tedious programming process, Einstein Works was faced with its first challenge: raising $700 to buy the necessary materials to build its robot.

However, with multiple yard sales, donation letters and the

“The cool thing about Einstein Works is that we get to solve problems. At school we only get to learn about them,” said team member Jack Hargis.

To the nine 6th graders of Einstein Works, E=MC2 was more than Einstein’s famous equation that explained the relationship between matter and energy; it was the product of countless hours of programming, thinking and measuring. Before the competition, the nine aspiring scientists gathered at their mentor and coach’s house after school three days a week to work on their presentation and robot named “E=MC2.”

Inspirational participants highlight global conference ‘The World in Our Grasp’ at CCA

By Diane Y. Welch Following rousing applause, the Proscenium Theater auditorium at Canyon Crest Academy High School fell into silence as about 400 county area youths – attendees at TEDxYouth@ San Diego – held onto every word that Richard Dreyfuss spoke. His address on the importance of civic education in public schools had clearly struck a chord.

An Academy Award-winning actor, Dreyfuss is the founder of the Dreyfuss Initiative.

“You can’t build a house and start with the roof, you have to build starting with a foundation. Civics teaches foundation and if you don’t teach it, we are anchorless and we wake up in the morning and don’t know the difference between right and wrong,” Dreyfuss said in an interview after his speech.

Through his website, www.thedreyfussinitiative.org and through five years of public speaking, Dreyfuss is leading the charge to bring civics back into the classroom. His speech, in which he gave a brief history of government and the importance of creating educated voters, echoed the theme of the Jeremy Sewell, Amy Villanova, CCA Principal Brian Köhn day’s event, “The World in Our Grasp.”

She spoke of a timeless potential that each of us has and urged the audience to “fall in love Home Care Assistance Has Expertly Trained Caregivers with possibility.”

A breath of fresh air came when Sara Vance, yoga instructor, guided the audience through a collective deep breathing exercise. Then Peter Gilson, reptile zookeeper for the San Diego Zoo, talked about biomimicry and how scientists look to nature to find solutions to current health problems and to advance technology.

Tracy Lee Stum, an artist who specializes in 3D chalk street paintings, showed examples of her art and encouraged the audience to follow their passion. During the intermission, Stum engaged some of those present in an interactive chalk painting.

Entrepreneur Jason O’Neill, 15, founder of Pencil Bugs when he was age 9, asked the audience to simply “Try Your Ideas,” and Alec Loorz, founder of Kids vs Global Warming, spoke with passion about saving the planet for future generations.

The line-up of presenters and demonstrators also included CCA graduates Yurie Iwako, founder of Save the Sudan Club; and poet Elliot Wobler; Shamil Hargovan, a global product manager for Hewlett-Packard; Jason Russell, founder of Invisible Children, Inc.; David Schenone, innovation director for Global Footwear for Nike, Inc.; and Josh and Nina Church, La Jolla Country Day students who co-founded NIKA Water; the cast of “The Buried Life” and more.

Local resident Marshall Goldsmith selected winner of the ‘2011 Thinkers50 Leadership Award’ Tracking bi-annually the definitive list of the world’s top business thinkers are Londonbased Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove, founders and directors of Thinkers50, former columnists to The Times (LonMarshall Goldsmith don) and adjunct professors at IE Business School. Over the past decade, the prestigious Thinkers50 ranking has served the global business community by showcasing the top business thinkers on the planet, indicating which thinkers have deservedly been consigned to making business history.

Recently in London at the first ever Thinkers50 Summit, internationally-acclaimed executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, a local resident, was named winner of the prestigious 2011 Thinkers50 Leader-

ship Award, additionally ranking #7 on the overall list of Thinkers50 world’s top 50 business thinkers.

“Marshall Goldsmith is singularly persuasive, networked, and energetic. In the crowded leadership sphere, he is fixed on changing the practice of leaders for the better rather than the neatness of his theories,” says Thinkers50 co-founder Stuart Crainer.

Goldsmith, a world authority on helping successful leaders get even better, is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling books “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There” and “Mojo.” He received his Ph.D. from UCLA and teaches executive education at Dartmouth’s Tuck School. Goldsmith blogs for HBR.org, BusinessWeek.com and HuffingtonPost.com.

Media sponsor for the Thinkers50 Summit was Harvard Business Review. For the full results of the 2011 Thinkers50 please visit www.thinkers50.com

Former TPHS student named as Rhodes Scholar Former Torrey Pines High School student Stephanie J. Bryson was among the 32 American men and women recently chosen as Rhodes Scholars representing the United States.

Rhodes Scholarships provide all expenses for two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England, and may allow funding in some instances for four years. Elliot F. Gerson, American Secretary of the Rhodes Trust, called the Rhodes Scholarships, “the oldest and best known award for international study, and arguably the most famous academic award available to American college graduates.” They were created in 1902 by the Will of Cecil Rhodes, British philanthropist and African colonial pioneer.

The first class of American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904; those elected today will enter Oxford in October 2012.

Bryson received her B.A. summa cum laude and was valedictorian at the California State University, Long Beach in May. Bryson is the university’s first Rhodes Scholar. She majored in international studies, with a concentration in western Europe, and minored in political science. She is now at Georgetown University pursuing an M.A. in German and European Studies. Bryson also spent a year at the Humboldt University in Berlin and interned at the U.S. mission to the European Union in Brussels. She also trained and supervised lifeguards in Del Mar and has worked in the Wounded Warrior Project and for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Bryson will do the M.Phil. in politics at Oxford.

WATER continued from page 1 most of whom spoke against the proposal.

The district provides water for about 22,500 people. According to a staff report, the 6 percent increase starting in January will provide revenue of $19.5 million for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.

District officials said the increase means that an average customer’s bimonthly bill will rise to $288.82 from the current charge of $272.78.

Late last year, the board — also on a 3-2 vote — approved a threeyear rate plan, including maximum increases of 12 percent each year. The first 12 percent increase took effect in February.

During budget deliberations in June, however, the board voted to impose a 6 percent increase for 2012, instead of the maximum 12 percent hike.

A district staff report noted that reduced operating costs, coupled with lower-than-expected water rate increases from district suppliers, means that a 6 percent increase will pro-

vide enough revenue for the current fiscal year, and the projected increase for 2013 has been trimmed from 12 to 10 percent.

District general manager Michael Bardin said in an interview that the district has reduced its operating budget by $1.9 million this year. Slightly less than half of that amount came from reductions in staffing, professional services and other areas, while just over $1 million came from the district’s decision to use a larger portion of local water from Lake Hodges to meet customers’ needs, as opposed to more expensive imported water, Bardin said.

Directors Irvin and

Dunford initially argued for an 8 percent increase for 2012.

“We’ve got to continue to pay into reserves to have a viable (capital improvement) program on a sustainable, long-term basis,” said Dunford.

“I think making an artificially low rate now is going to force us to have a higher rate in the future and I want to do what’s best for the district,” Irvin said.

But director Andy Menshek said ratepayers are already stung by the sluggish economy and don’t want rates to be raised any more than absolutely necessary.

“The ratepayers have spoken loud and clear —

do the best you can with what you have and don’t raise my rates,” he said.

Hogan, the board president, said the board directed staff to build a 6 percent increase into this year’s budget, and the current budget is meeting the guidelines established by the board regarding reserves and this year’s capital projects.

“I don’t want to go below (6 percent) and I don’t want to go above,” Hogan said.

Director John Ingalls was the lone board member to argue for no rate increase in 2012. He said the district should work with partner agencies to issue bonds to pay for capital projects, rather

than raising rates.

“I think it’s an opportune time for us to pull the trigger with our Triple A rating and do a bond issue,” he said.

While other board members agreed that borrowing money through bonds might be an option for the future, they said it would not be a solution for the current budget year.

After the board discussion, Dunford said he felt he had made his point about adequately funding reserves, and switched his vote to support the 6 percent increase.

The district plans to notify its customers of the rate increase through a mailer that will be sent out by Nov. 30.

pressed concern that North County has not been included in adequate emergency planning.

Since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, San Clemente Green has been advocating a total shut-down of San Onofre, and the group was successful in urging the San Clemente City Council to draft a resolution calling for better solutions at the generating station. They are urging a similar measure of the Solana Beach council.

A number of supporters who attended the presentation gave a round of applause when Mayor Lesa Heebner said she

would be in support of working toward a resolution or the drafting of a letter.

Councilman Mike Nichols said he will be working closely with Johnson and he feels confident that the information presented in San Clemente Green’s presentation is accurate.

Councilmen Tom Campbell and Joe Kellejian said it’s premature to discuss a resolution.

City Manager David Ott said city staff will bring the issue back to the council in the form of a staff report or recommendation.

THE GIFT OF

LIFESTYLE that never Jeff Jensen and his daughter, Caroline, 15, in Africa this past July, with two African girls rescued from child prostitution by edopt.net’s Gwagala Project.

Retired entrepreneur’s nonprofit supports children’s charities Jensen aims to build donor base in poor countries through Facebook

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For early retired entrepreneur Jeff Jensen, with all due respect to the song, it’s Africa, not Georgia, on his mind, and increasingly so since he journeyed to Africa a year ago to check out struggling child-rescue charities in Uganda.

On the plane returning home, Jensen decided “I’ve got to do something to help.�

As a result, the 51-year-old father of three has launched a unique child sponsorship nonprofit called “edopt.net.�

Its mission is to help small international charities, that are caring for kids, but don’t have a mechanism for raising a donor base, find donors for their children through Facebook. “A donor can go to edopt.net and research these charities and then click on ‘children’ and see some of the kids that they are caring for. Then click on a child’s picture and learn about the child. If you decide to support a child, you can click on ‘support’ and you’re connected to PayPal to make a donation. “That way, every dollar you give goes directly to the organization that’s caring for your child and Facebook becomes your window to the world of your sponsored child,� Jensen says. “We are a ‘connections agency’ of sorts,� Jensen explains on his Website. “We are a self-funded 501c3. We do not receive or charge money for our services. So our only agenda is connecting people who have with those in need.�

We interviewed Jensen in his local home.

He’s a tall and trim early-retiree who runs 25 miles a week, enjoys riding his dirt bike, and occasionally goes pheasant hunting. “Since I sold my company and moved to Rancho Santa Fe,� Jensen said, “I’ve spent the last eight to 10 years, working in

the community as a coach and Scoutmaster. Both of my sons were Eagle Scouts.

Now that my kids are getting older, I’ve been trying to figure out what I was going to do next, something hopefully for the greater good.�

A year ago, a friend of his invited Jensen to accompany him to Uganda to visit a school his friend is working with in Northern Uganda that rescues ex-child soldiers. “I saw these really cool charities in Uganda that were all caring for kids one way or another. The one common theme was that they were all struggling to raise support. But while they’re in country doing their thing, they don’t have a presence in the United States and they don’t have a mechanism to create a donor base. “I decided to start an organization that in essence would run a sponsorship program for these little charities‌and create a more personal sponsor/child relationship. “That way, if your sponsored child has a birthday, you can go on Facebook and send a birthday greeting, and then go in real time and see the birthday party,â€? Jensen said. “Or if a storm comes in and blows off the roof, there’s whole support base that would be in place to help.â€?

Jensen was born in Spokane, Washington, at Fairchild Air Force Base, where his physician father was stationed in the military. The family later moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

While in high school, Jensen became a born-again Christian “and my faith became the guiding principle in my life.�

After earning a degree in accounting from Arizona State in 1982, he joined Great Plains Software, a micro accounting software company started by a boyhood friend, in Fargo, North Dakota. “I was his 23rd employee,� Jensen recalls.

He stayed for two years before returning to Minneapolis and setting up shop as a consultant to companies wanting to computerize their accounting systems. “From there‌.I ended up starting a SEE NONPROFIT, PAGE 14

Area families reach out to share traditions

BY KATHY DAY For years families have invited servicemen and women into their homes for the holidays. This year, many are playing host to international students from UCSD. For the first time, the university is reaching out to their many students from other nations to show how Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. As of press time, about 30 families have volunteered to host nearly 70 students.

Among the families are Pati and Jeff Brady, who are planning to add six students to their already large gathering, Jeff Brady said.

With family, including their four children who range from 9 to 17 years old, and friends, he said, “adding a few more is not a problem.”

Pati, who is a family practitioner at UCSD and is Brazilian, received an email sent by campus officials inviting volunteer hosts to raise their hands, with the idea that it would

be a good way to introduce the students to American Thanksgiving. As of last week, the students who have accepted their invitation are from Korea, Japan and China. They were awaiting RSVPs from three others.

They’ll serve a traditional holiday repast, with a twist of turkey cooked on the grill, Jeff said. “I’ve had good luck doing that and it frees up the oven for other things.”

Lucy and Steve Eskeland of Del Mar will also share their traditional feast with four students.

The first to respond are from Taiwan and Sri Lanka, said Lucy, who was an international student herself.

She used to work on campus as a post graduation researcher and now writes science books for children; her husband is a dentist whose office is on Regents Park Row near the east side of the UCSD campus.

Their gathering will be a more intimate one, Lucy said, with just the couple, their son and the visiting students.

“We have hosted students in the past,” she added, but as part of an-

other program.

Shelly Taskin, program coordinator for UCSD’s International Center, said in a press release the program “is a wonderful opportunity for both international students and host family members to learn more about each other’s cultures and foster new friendships.”

The campus, which had nearly 1,200 new international students go through orientation in the fall, is among the top 4 percent of American universities hosting students from other countries. Currently there are nearly 2,000 students and 2,220 scholars from almost 90 countries on campus.

“These students help broaden the diversity of the campus, but they also bring funds to the university in tough economic times,” said Lynn Anderson, dean of International Education at UCSD. The UCSD website estimates Californians who attend UCSD should budget about $30,000 for fees, books, room and board and other living expenses.

On top of that, international students pay another $22,878 in tuition.

Columbine victim’s inspirational message shared at local school event

BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer One of Rancho Santa Fe School’s core values is to be a “caring community” and, recently, students received a strong message of kindness, compassion and the power one person can have to impact others — and possibly the world. Students were impacted and inspired by a presentation from Rachel’s Challenge, a movement in memory of Rachel Joy Scott, the first person killed in the Columbine High School shootings of April, 20, 1999.

A repeat of the powerful presentation was given that night for school parents — there were very few dry eyes in the PAC at its conclusion.

Rachel’s Challenge shares several writings that Rachel left behind, one from a paper written six weeks before her death: “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.”

Rachel wrote that people may never know how far their act of kindness will reach—her surviving family has sought to make that message, and challenge to others, her legacy.

Her challenges include having the strength and faith to dream big, to choose positive influences in life, speak with kindness, start your own chain reaction and to tell the special

Rachel’s Challenge was inspired by Rachel Joy Scott, who was killed at age 17 in the shootings at Columbine High School.

Photo/RachelsChallenge.org people in your life that you love them because tomorrow is not always promised.

“Rachel’s last challenge is a chance to let your loved ones know how you feel,” said presenter Matt Salnick. “Rachel didn’t get to say goodbye.”

Columbine remains the country’s most deadly high school shooting in which 15 people were killed (including the two shooters) and 27 others

were injured.

Rachel was 17 years old when classmates Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold opened fire and killed her as she ate lunch outside on the lawn. Her brother Craig was in the library, where most of the shootings took place.

In a video shown at the RSF School event, Craig described hiding under a table with his two friends.

The shooters killed both of his friends as he laid between them, his life only spared as the shooters become distracted when a smoke alarm went off.

Craig said one of the last things his friend Isaiah Shoels, who was African American, heard in his shortened life were racial slurs from the shooters.

Craig said one of Rachel’s challenges he hopes everyone embraces is to erase prejudice from their heart and lives, not to pre-judge people, something that Rachel always tried to do.

Rachel reached out to special needs students at school, as well as new students and those who were picked on. Just as she had written in her own words that people may never know how far an act of kindness could go, Rachel had no idea the impact of her small gestures of kindness. After her death, her family heard from a student with special needs who had been picked on and had planned to commit suicide before Rachel stuck up for him

and befriended him. Another girl said on her first day at Columbine, Rachel wouldn’t let her sit alone — Rachel never knew but the girl had been sitting alone as she was still submerged in grief over the loss of her mother.

“All it takes it just a simple smile or a small act of kindness,” Salnick said. “You can start a chain reaction.”

Rachel had many premonitions about her life—several times it is mentioned in the six journals she left behind that she believed she would die young, even predicting in the spring of 1998 that it would be the last year of her life.

When she was little she traced her hands on the back of her dresser. A shown photograph of the dresser shows that next to the outlines of her small fingers she inscribed: “These hands will someday touch millions of people’s hearts.”

Rachel dreamt big and it came true: More than 15 million people have now heard her story.

“Rachel lived a life filled with kindness and compassion,” said he brother Craig in the video.

“Because of it, she’s changed the world.”

“You’ve seen what one girl can do,” said Salnick.

“What are you going to do with the rest of your life?”

TPHS computer lounge supports online learning program

BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School has a new computer lounge for students taking online courses, thanks to a partnership between the San Dieguito Union High School District and the Torrey Pines High School Foundation.

The school, district and foundation celebrated their new addition to campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 16.

“We had two traditional classrooms in need of repair,” said principal Brett Killeen of the space off the wing of the library/media center building. “The district came to us with an idea of a 21st century learning environment.”

The foundation funded the purchase of 30 new laptop computers, and the district helped modify the room and purchased the new furniture, Calypso projector and communication system.

“It’s a classic joint project between the foundation and the district and I’m excited about the benefits for students and staff,” Killeen said.

Interest in Torrey Pines’ ISOL (Independent Study Online Learning) program is “exploding,” Killeen said, noting that 400 students have signed up to take an online class this year.

ISOL is offered in courses of English, history, government/economics, math and science, and can help a student retake a class if they did not receive a passing grade or for enrichment. Students taking online classes for enrichment are eligible as long as they are enrolled in at least two traditional campus classes each

Bridget Bergman, a sophomore, is taking four classes online this year.

“It will allow me to focus on what I really want to take by senior year,” said Bridget, who listed physics and math as her favorite subjects.

The new ISOL lounge features the 30 laptops, a row of desktop computers, nice wood tables and chairs, as well as cozy sofa chairs.

rich environment,” Killeen said.

Killeen added that he was “incredibly thankful” for the support of San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Ken Noah and his staff, the foundation (particularly executive director Bobbi Karlson and Terry Walter), and ISOL teachers Don Hollins and Mike Montgomery.

DR. He SAID, SHE SAID:

Why is there so much fear of commitment in this generation?

By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. In our private practice we seem to see a lot more people who are Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. afraid to ven(Dr. He) and M’Lissa ture into the Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) commitment of marriage.

Although it is often presented in our office as “commitment phobia” we think that in the current generation there are a lot of bona fide reasons why people (yes, men and women) are afraid to enter into a “until death do us part” contract. Here are some of the ways we understand men and women’s fears of marriage: 1. Too Many Choices Creates Indecisiveness: A lot of people who have a fear of committing to a long term relationship have a difficult time making decisions about a lot of other things as well. Some people are overwhelmed by the fear that making one decision will eliminate all other choices/possibilities available to them. This “black and white”/ “what if” mentality might keep doors open yet it also keeps people from having deeper experiences in relationships and life in general. Choosing something/ one, committing to something/one and investing time and energy into that something/one will enhance, deepen and enrich a person’s life experience. The process of valuing and developing what we choose to invest in is how we derive meaning in our lives. We also believe that society’s intense competitive pressure to be the best at all things and have the best at all costs to prove we are “special” compounds and heightens the fear of making “the wrong” decision.

When we put ourselves in a “win at all costs” mentality we set ourselves up for competition and comparison versus valuing our unique choices and experiences.

Hence…the grass is always greener.

2. Reaction to Experience of Divorce Instills Fear and Avoidance: We see a lot of people whose pattern is to stay in a relationship for a couple years and then bail out when it starts to feel too vulnerable. This is a way to avoid the pain of rejection or to steer clear of issues that require self-reflection and hard work. Here, the fear of rejection is most often connected to previous experiences of abandonment (most often through parents divorcing in childhood) or a sense of not feeling good enough due to emotional neglect in childhood. There is a generational backlash of people not wanting to re-experience the pain of divorce again due to their personal trauma. The overall zeitgeist of the times demonstrates that 50% of marriages fail and this too seeps into the collection unconscious and manifests as a fear of commitment. There is not yet a comprehensive paradigm in place for a new vision of marriage that incorporates all the changes that have occurred for the current generation. People are lost and avoiding the exploration of a new model of relationship because it is so complicated and enigmatic.

3. Fear of Responsibility: A lot of people in this generation have experienced their

parent’s divorce and/or other traumas that have caused their emotional development to arrest at an early age. These types of early traumas force individuals to take on more responsibility than their young psyches can manage. Many of these particular individuals have lost their childhood and want it back! Because so many people come from divorced families there are a lot of people out there who are much more comfortable taking care of “me” than having to care for a “we” (which eventually may include children). People today are also much more conscientious and fearful about the depth of personal investment it takes to raise an emotionally and physically healthy child. The cohorts of people who already feel overwhelmed are even more inundated by the onslaught of information arriving via the technological age, the recession and an unknown future. Together with high expectations of success and material gains…all roads lead to a heightened fear of taking on more responsibility across the board.

4. Confusion of Roles…Co-dependence versus Independence…Is there a Middle Ground: Despite all of the psychological sophistication in this generation, adults still get trapped in an idealistic, immature version of love that is about needing to be taken care of or saved by the other. This romantic version of marriage then locks horns with many different, advanced concepts of relationship. Whether it is about women being equal to men, women being the provider and men assuming childrearing responsibilities, traditional roles, women wanting their man to be the provider but not wanting to assume traditional roles themselves, open marriage, etc…identity and role confusion in marriage is abundant!

Everyone is struggling against old hardwired patterns and new possibilities of what being in relationship means.

In our private practice we do also continue to see a lot of individuals who want to move forward into marriage. For those that come to us for pre-marital or marital counseling we feel it is our job to help them to reality check their “idealized” version of marriage and develop a more mature and realistic perspective of the venture they are about to undertake. Our goal with couples is to set a strong foundation of trust and develop a communication style that will help them work out all the issues they will face.

We encourage couples to not set themselves up to be so easily disappointed and disillusioned when issues do arise. Despite the evolution of the technological era, human beings will never lose their desire for connection and love. We believe good relationships are at the root of what makes everything else on our planet work so we believe finding a new paradigm for relationship that works is a critical endeavor.

edopt.net this year, Jensen has signed up his first charity, the Kwagala Project, a recovery program, started on a shoestring in 2009 by Chicago mom Kristen Hendricks, for girls and young women in Kampala and Gulu, Uganda, who are victims of child prostitution.

The Kwagala Project provides basic support for recovery and a new life through a vocational school/drop-in center, school scholarships and rehabilitative housing with the goal of seeing each girl through high school, assisting her in finding a job, or in continuing her formal education.

Kwagala says some of the girls were sold into prostitution by their families or guardians; others were abducted by Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) insurgents and taken as “child brides”; and still others were orphan victims of genocide with little means of survival other than pros-

titution.

Jensen revisited the Kwagala Project this past summer with his 15-yearold daughter, Caroline, a Torrey Pines High School student, and one of her friends.

“She was totally blown away by these young girls who have been rescued,” Jensen said. “What I’m trying to figure out is how to connect high school students with these organizations.”

Edopt.net has set itself the task of conducting comprehensive reviews of charities it plans to feature on its Website, and vetting them on a basis of character, competency and capacity for stewarding donations for the benefit of children.

He plans to visit Kenya and Ethiopia after Thanksgiving with his oldest son, Cory, 22, to interview other child-help organizations that may be added to the edopt list of charities.

“My goal right now is to get five or six additional charities so that when people come to edopt, they can see a variety of organizations — hopefully they’ll see an organization and a child they’ll support.”

“Africa is just where I happened to start,” he said. He also plans to expand to other areas. “I’m talking to a rescue charity in Fiji right now.”

Earl Warren Ocean Club helps keep beaches clean The Earl Warren Ocean Club hosted its first beach clean-up of the year on Sunday, Nov. 6. Despite the rainy weather forecast many students showed up and cleaned the beaches of Del Mar. They collected over 50 pounds of trash. The beach clean-up provides a wonderful opportunity for students to help the environment and to make connections in their community outside of the classroom. In addition to the students, many parents and siblings showed up to help. When the clean-up ended... the rain began and they finished just in time! The Earl Warren Ocean Club will have another beach clean-up in spring. The club advisor is science teacher Krista Baldwin.

Rotary Corner: Del Mar – Solana Beach Rotary Club helps communities in a variety of ways

BY JAN PARSONS, DMSB PUBLIC RELATIONS The Del Mar – Solana Beach (DMSB) Rotary is a small club of 35 members, but it never ceases to amaze me how much we help our communities. Recently the Community Resource Center sent out a plea for more food for their upcoming holiday basket distribution and the club responded with bags of food and checks to help in this worthy project to help those less fortunate.

We will also work with the CRC in December (along with family and friends) to help sort and box the food, and to distribute to families in need. This is an activity we have done for many years and brings home how many needy there are who need our help.

Members went to Tijuana in November to help with “A Thousand Smiles,” an organization that helps give dental care and supplies to needy children and teaches them the importance of proper dental hygiene.

DMSB Rotary sent two 8th grade students from Barrio Logan to Rotary’s LEAD (Leadership, Ethics, And Determination) conference which helps them improve their leadership skills, incorporate ethical behavior in their everyday lives, and develop a positive attitude. And they passed out over 1,300 dictionaries to third graders in the Del Mar and Solana Beach school districts, and received back wonderful and funny thank you letters and drawings from the kids.

A new project this year, headed by Vicky Mallett, vocational and New Generations chair, was providing business shoes and dress to the organization Dress for Success. Dress for Success’ mission is to promote the economic independence of disad-

vantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. As Vicky says “we were excited to work with Dress for Success since their mission in assisting women aligns so well with Rotary’s motto ‘Service Above Self’.” It felt good cleaning out our closets knowing our clothes would go to such a good cause.

Currently, DMSB members are getting into high gear to make this year’s Bocce Tournament (the club’s 16th annual) on Sunday, March 4, 2012, the best ever. Last year we raised over $42,000 but this year’s goal under the capable leadership of chair Charles Foster and his committee is $50,000. As he says, “This will enable us to support even more activities that efficiently and effectively make the world a better place, particularly for kids”.

Please join us on Friday mornings from 7:15-8:30 a.m. at the DoubleTree in Carmel Valley to learn more about our active club and giving members. For more information, contact president Kirk Collins at 619-2548234 or visit dmsbrotary.com.

Let face it, prescription drugs are all around us. This is apparent in so many ways. Family members and parents responsibly take daily medications to treat an injury or disease.

Some family members take prescription medications for other medical conditions – to stay alert, to stay awake or to go to sleep. In seven out of 10 visits to a physician, patients leave the office with a prescription in hand. Direct advertising on TV and in magazines leave viewers desensitized to many medications in general. All of this tends to normalize prescription drug use.

Prescription Drug Take Back Day was held on Oct. 29 throughout San Diego to get rid of expired and unused prescription drugs from our medicine cabinets. More than 6,984 lbs. of prescription drugs were collected, up from 4,890 lbs. from last spring’s Take Back Day. The drugs were collected and properly disposed of by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Local armed services, county sheriffs, police departments, health care organizations, pharmacists, prevention and treatment agencies participated in this event. Additionally, specialists were available to offer resources to community members that drove through the drop-off sites throughout the county.

For adults aged 34-54, prescription drug use has been described as epidemic. However, did you realize that teenage prescription drug abuse is on the rise?

Teens abuse prescription drugs the most, second to marijuana. According to the national Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration or SAMHSA, (2008) (Results from 2007 National Survey on Drug Use & Health), 20 percent of high school students nationwide have taken prescription drugs without consulting a doctor. One in three teens say there is nothing wrong with abusing prescription meds “every once in a while.” Every day 2,000 teens abuse prescription drugs for the first time.

Where do teens get the prescription drugs? According to SAMHSA, more than 56 percent of teens report getting them free from family or friends; 8.9 percent bought them from a friend or family and 5.2 percent stole them from friends or family. Most friends and relatives get their prescription drugs from a doctor.

Teens do not often realize the dangerous physiological effects of these drugs, which may have disastrous results. These include increased blood pressure and/or heart rate, brain and/or organ damage, overdose or poisoning, physical dependency and/or addiction, disrupted breathing, seizure, permanent disability or even death. Obviously there is additional risk if mixing prescription drugs with other drugs or alcohol. Some teens abuse prescription drugs to get high through “pharming” or “bowling” parties, where pills are dumped into a bowl and kids randomly grab a handful of pills and wash them down with alcohol. Frightening.

What can be done? There are several things parents can do. Parents and family members can lock up their meds and dispose of their unused and expired medicines at county sheriff’s offices (www.sdsheriff.net, link to community outreach) or police departments (www.sandiego.gov/police) during regular business hours. A prescription drug drop box, which looks like a mailbox, is located in the lobbies. No questions asked.

Parents can provide clear expectations to teens. Have conversations with your teens and let them know you are aware of this emerging issue (most kids think their parents are clueless about prescription drug abuse). Tell them that abusing prescription drugs is just as dangerous as abusing other substances; that these drugs can be highly addictive. Let them know that it is NOT ok to try them even once. Discuss how to help your teen get out of a bad situation if they are offered prescription drugs. Let teens know that saying “ No thanks – I’m not into that,” or “I’m not interested, ” and then walking away are effective strategies. Tell them that you will be there for them to pick them up if they feel uncomfortable with a situation – no questions asked.

We know that parents have the greatest influence on teen’s drug use attitudes and decisions. Don’t wait. Begin the conversations with your teens today.

Dancing on the Titanic

BY LANE SHARMAN, MANAGING PARTNER, SOLANA ENERGY, AND MEMBER, CITY OF SOLANA BEACH CLEAN & GREEN Debra Reed, the CEO of Sempra Energy, and Michael Niggli, the COO of San Diego Gas & Electric, are dancing on the Titanic tonight. SDG&E filed an application to the Public Utilities Commission on Oct. 3 to effectively kill rooftop and commercial solar in San Diego County. Profits are up at Sempra Energy. Other utility executives around the nation play in the band.

An innovative solar project to cover a reservoir for the Valley Center Municipal Water District was cancelled as a result of the current economic uncertainty. Solana Energy, the author’s company, had to present a notice of solar project cancellation to the Directors of the Borrego Water District on Nov. 18. There, I explained the gross tax proposed by SDG&E in its infamous October PUC application to the incredulity of the public jaded by the Sunrise Powerlink debacle. Many projects will not go forward because SDG&E is attempting to breach Net Metering Law with its proposed “Network Use” charge to be levied on ratepayers with solar and any other form of renewable energy.

The executives at Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric are on the dance floor and have invited their friends at the PUC and the State legislature to join them. Recently, the PUC determined that $.04 per Kilowatt Hour was a fair payment for excess solar generation while the utilities charge three times and up for those electrons delivered to neighbors. The power of utility executives to exact an economic injustice in the back-office of the PUC and the legislature is manifold.

It is high time for all San Diegans to get off this ship.

An orderly exit is no longer possible thanks to corporate executives drinking and feeding at public expense. SDG&E is a monopoly. It bears no resemblance to a capitalistic enterprise having to compete openly. SDG&E has broken a covenant enshrined in law and common sense: to protect the right of energy self-generation for the economic and environmental benefit of all San Diegans.

As was done in Boulder, Colorado in 2011, it is high time for voters to municipalize San Diego Gas & Electric. After all, its balance sheet is upside down due to the huge liability from the fires it caused. The purchase of SDG&E by the public lock, stock and barrel is long overdue … the recent action to tax solar is the last straw. The outrage of the many against the few on the dance floor is a rising contrachorus in America. We must take command of our economic and environmental destiny before the ship goes down. I urge all San Diegans: join me in a single vote to municipalize SDG&E. It no longer serves the public interest. It never has. Visit www.saveoursol.org for more background. raise and advance their robot for their next FLL tournament in February at Legoland. The team members plan to stay together until the 8th grade and thereby live out their team motto: “One year goes nowhere, but many years are the start of great ideas.”

“It’s amazing how the kids can really get into it and use everything in their minds to accomplish what they want to accomplish,” said Judy Wagner, the team’s coach and mentor.

Yes, through Einstein Works, these young students have learned how to program a robot and calculate its movements down to the very last centimeter.

Although, perhaps more importantly, the teammates have learned to utilize every watt of their brainpower in order to create innovative posters, t-shirts, skits, fund-raising techniques and core values.

After all, in the words of Albert Einstein, imagination is more important than knowledge.

Solana Beach resident earns Champions Tour Card for 2012

Front Row: Bobby Snigaroff, Max Siemienowski, Ben Marks, Noah Yachi, Bradley Liebermensch, Chris Stein; Back Row: Coach Rick Sanborn, Hunter Ross, Mark Westburg, Ryan Sanborn, Matthew Cheverton, Tyler Weinrich, Michael Xu; Not Pictured: Max Greenhalgh, Stoney Timmons, George Wythes, Coach Steve Timmons

Black Op Pandas take first place The Black Op Pandas participated in the DMCV Rec. Tournament and played like they were on a mission…an undercover, covert mission…(wait for it)…a BLACK OPS mission… and eureka…they’re CHAMPIONS, winning 6-1 over Coach Garnet’s Yellow Bruins.

The goal scoring was fast and furious with some outstanding contributions, like Ben’s hat trick in the finals, to Hunter’s hat trick in pool play, to Ryan’s five goal weekend which would not be possible without Tyler’s awesome crosses and corners. Defensively, they were impenetrable…period. From Matthew’s spectacular saves, to Bradley, Bobby, Chris and Michael’s (their iron curtain) relentlessly attacking whoever had the ball, and covering for each other. And the mid-fielders Noah, Max and Marc, who not only had to work the hardest and cover the most ground, but who had to control the transitional part of the game.

“What a truly amazing experience to watch the team work as a team all weekend, taking on great teams and never giving up or backing down. Every member of the team stepped up and played the best they’ve played all season long. This is what the season is supposed to be about, working hard, learning, developing as players, becoming a team, and most importantly having fun,” said Coach Rick Sanborn.

Jeff Freeman closed with a fourth consecutive 5-under-par 66 to claim medalist honors at the 2011 Champions Tour National Qualifying Tournament at the par-71 TPC Scottsdale’s Champions Course. Freeman finished with a 72-hole total of 20-under-par 264 and was a four-stroke victory over Gary Hallberg(Castle Rock, Colo.) and Jim Rutledge (Victoria, BC).

Freeman was one of five players at the tournament to earn exempt status for 2012.

Joining him were runners-up Hallbergand Rutledge as well as Jeff Hart (Solana Beach) and P.H. Horgan (West Palm Beach, Fla.).

Those five players will be exempt until the reorder takes place later in the 2012 season.

51-year old Hart was born in Pomona and played golf at USC. He turned professional in 1983 and earned one title on the Nationwide Tour. Hart qualified for four Champions Tour events this year, his best finish was T6 at the AT&T Championship in October where he earned $65,000.

Seven other players earned conditionally-exempt status for 2012. Leading the pack is Jim Carter (Scottsdale, Ariz.), who will earn a spot as one of the five exempt players until Freeman turns 50 in April, followed by (in order of finish) Sonny Skinner (Slyvester, Ga.), Bobby Clampett (Carmel, Calif.), Mark Mouland (Kenilworth, England), Jeff’s older brother Robin Freeman (LaQuinta, Calif.), James Mason (Dillard, Ga.) and Dick Mast

The secret is out!

Couple wins locals’ hearts with Peruvian cuisine Café Secret is located at 1140 Camino Del Mar. (Right) Daniella and Bratzo Basagoitia

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Café Secret is no secret anymore.

Rustic and small, the Camino Del Mar restaurant does not visually make itself

apparent from the street, but passing by during dinner time or weekend brunch, one might notice a completely packed outdoor patio.

Or on a Wednesday, they may hear the guitar strum-

ming and vocals of a live musician.

For years, the former coffee joint may have been a bit more of a secret to the community. But when Daniella and Bratzo Basagoitia assumed ownership two years ago and began putting their passion and culture into the place — now a full-service restaurant serving authentic Peruvian cuisine — popularity has soared and the vivacious young couple continues to develop Café Secret’s new identity.

“At first we wanted a name that represented the restaurant, a Peruvian name,” said Daniella. “But we got the business with the name, and we’ve put so much love into the name and everything it has behind

Café Secret in Del Mar offers a “ceviche bar” with seven variations of the seafood dish that can be mixed and matched. COURTESY PHOTO it. It fits perfect and it would be sinful to take the essence out of it.”

The couple first opened Café Secret for breakfast and lunch, adding dinner on Fridays only. Gradually they have added dinner on other nights of the week, and only two weeks ago the restaurant came full circle by adding Tuesday night to complete the schedule.

The schedule has not only grown, but the menu has, as well. The Basagoitias have not only added items to meet the demand of the community — such as the

best-selling “pan con chicharron” sandwich that was formerly an off-menu “secret” — but they have expanded the selection of one of the things they do best: ceviche. Café Secret offers a “ceviche bar” of seven different types of the dish, which can be mixed and matched.

The ceviches vary from more traditional recipes to exotic mixes that incorporate Peruvian corn, sweet potatoes and mangos.

The magic that happens in Café Secret’s tiny kitchen dates back to the couple’s childhood years in Peru,

where good food and great company was a part of life.

The two moved separately to the United States more than a decade ago, and they were brought together by a mutual friend in Miami, where Daniella lived and Bratzo was visiting from San Diego. As fate would have it, they were coincidentally reunited years later when Daniella moved to San Diego for a job.

In the time the couple had away from work — she was working in retail and he worked in British PetroSee CUISINE, page B23

Man dedicates life to sharing Falun Dafa with community

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Falun Gong is openly practiced in some 70 countries, however, it is widely suppressed in its homeland of China, making it the subject of what’s estimated to be the largest form of religious persecution in the world.

In Del Mar, however, the spiritual discipline is practiced peacefully and free of charge at Bindu Yoga, located at 1130 Camino Del Mar. Also known as Falun Dafa, the practice combines meditation with a series of movements, and is deeply rooted to a philosophy of morality and virtue.

While he would prefer to remain uncredited under the “leave no name, seek no reward” philosophy of the practice, it is because of 31-year-old Mitch Gerber that Falun Gong is a part of the community.

He conducts the class at Bindu every Saturday at 4 p.m., but that is only part of Gerber’s efforts. He holds a total of eight free classes ev-

ery week at six sites throughout the San Diego area, and it’s possible that he could have one of the largest followings of practitioners in the nation — as it is rare to see a city with even one Falun Gong practice site, let alone more than a handful.

Gerber discovered the practice during a campus demonstration about a decade ago when he was a student at the Georgia State University, where he earned a degree in international business. He connected deeply with Falun Gong and he said it changed his life when he became a daily practitioner.

After graduation, Gerber worked in investment banking for the now-defunct Salomon Smith Barney, but he said he was “discontent with the way society viciously operates.”

“I saw people in this rat race trying to survive, and I hated what I was doing,” he said.

Gerber has since decided to dedicate his life to Falun Dafa and sharing it with

others, and he describes his efforts as the “purest form of nonprofit.” Not only are the classes free to the public, but Gerber does not receive a dollar himself.

“When I found out that people are being brutally persecuted in China for practicing Falun Dafa,” he said, referring to a crackdown of the Communist Party of China and myriad reports of torture and imprisonment, “I felt obligated.”

To make ends meet, Gerber works independently in the field of commodity exchange.

A South African native of Jewish background, Gerber is a natural human rights advocate. He was an Amnesty International leader during college at GSU, and he also organized a Falun Dafa club there. He said he remembers living under apartheid during his younger years and Nelson Mandela has always been a role model for him.

He said religion, as a whole, seemed like “modern

mishmashes of hypocrisy and money,” but he was intrigued by Falun Dafa.

“It’s the one practice, it’s safe to say, that has a sincere path of connecting to a private source of peace and love,” he said.

BY JOHN KOLACZ The violins came to life as the bows were drawn across the strings. Softly at first, the notes barely audible, like a whisper shared between friends. Then cellos and bass instruments began pushing the mood until the entire orchestra joined in full force. And so began Torrey Pines High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Concert on Nov. 14.

The evening featured Torrey Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two orchestras and the jazz band, all of whom are gearing up for the coming competition season. Following the Intermediate Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening four instrumentals, the Advanced Orchestra delivered two exceptionally technical classical songs and a big band-style swing number, completely showcasing the full range of talent assembled on stage. Finally, the acclaimed Jazz Band completed the concert with six loud, brassy, energetic numbers that had the crowd on their feet at the end.

Music director Amy Willcox said after the show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great start to the year!â&#x20AC;? while beaming with pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to take these guys to New Orleans!â&#x20AC;? she remarked about plans to take the Jazz Band to the New Orleans Jazz Festival and competition in Spring 2012.

In attendance were many members of the community, including music students and teachers from area elementary and middle schools. The event showcased what many students will be joining upon moving into high school and was a great display of what the strength of instruction in the middle and elementary schools is capable of producing.

Next up for the music program at Torrey Pines is a private party that the Jazz Band has been booked for, followed by a public appearance to play at the Del Mar Holiday Wonderland event on Dec. 4.

Comfort with class awaits diners at the Savory table

BY KELLEY CARLSON avory is more than just a neighborhood restaurant. It’s home away from home, according to chef and owner Pascal Vignau.

“We like having everyone feel comfortable,” he said. “It’s not too flashy, it’s comfortable, and it’s not loud.”

The place has a “warm” feeling, stemming from the gold and green tones of the cushioned seats and various other accents, to the polished wooden floors. Some of the walls are inlaid with brick; others are covered in earthy tones. An unusual feature: a burnt orange-hued hood over the door to the wine room, which was an oven in the days when the site was a bakery.

Vignau intended to keep the decor simple. “I want to see my table,” he said.

Comfort food “with a twist” is truly the restaurant’s centerpiece.

Start the meal with the daily vegan soup or a colorful salad consisting of roasted beet, crumbled blue cheese, croutons and greens.

For something a little heavier, try the “Savory” Mac-n-Cheese with Black Forest ham, or a dish featuring bacon grits, crawfish, Andouille sausage and gumbo sauce.

Among the “rustic/classic” entrees are Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast, breaded with croutons and pretzels and served with mashed potato, haricot vert and mushroom gravy; and the Crab Crusted

Further adding to Savory’s warmth is the friendliness and consistency of the staff.

Vignau often becomes acquainted with customers, 50 percent of them regulars.

Among his repeat guests are Bob and June, an elderly couple who have been dining at the restaurant a few times a week for several years. Vignau checks in on them to ensure they’re OK if they don’t stop by. He takes time to listen to menu suggestions, and has even been known to drive home an inebriated customer or two.

Customers tend to visit Savory the most on Tuesdays and weekends; winter is the busiest season, Vignau said.

UCSD duo joins Brooklyn ‘Sound Sculptor’ at The Loft

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Brooklyn-based Marco Benevento is something of a cult figure in the world of avant-jazz, known for his blend of catchy tunes and experimental techniques.

Combining keyboard artistry with the latest high-tech tools, he uses amplifiers, guitar pickups, samplers, and circuit-bent toys — electronic gadgets whose wires are snipped, intercepted, and redirected to produce new kinds of sounds — to create his own special effects.

Hailed as a “sound sculptor,” he’ll be bringing his genre-bending stylings to The Loft on Dec. 1. Although he performed downtown at Street Scene five years ago, this will be his first appearance in our area with his trio, which includes bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Andrew Borger, also featured on his 2010 album, “Between the Needles and Nightfall.” The title refers to a phrase used by the midwife before the birth of Benevento’s second daughter.

“She gave my wife

Benevento, who tours widely, has also scored and played soundtracks for Walt Disney’s “Dumbo” —

at least, the “Pink Elephants on Parade” segment — and the RogerCorman/ Vincent Price thriller “House of Usher.” Usher, first performed live at an outdoor concert in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, had a repeat performance this Halloween in Burlington,

Vermont.

Benevento’s appearance here is the first stop on a cross-country tour that begins in the west and includes a 2012 Jam Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale Jan. 9-14. At The Loft, he’ll be playing an acoustic piano with guitar pickups and whatever else he decides to throw into the mix. And he’ll introduce his newest, just-released, two-song, 7-inch recording.

Opening for Benevento will be an duo of UCSD sonic experimentalists known as KaiBorg, composed of David Bargo, a saxophonist, ethnomusicologist and associate professor in the music department’s Integrative Studies program, and Jeff Kaiser, a trumpet-player, multimedia artist and Ph.D.-track student.

Both men also use laptops in performance, and play, separately and together, in many different venues and recordings. In 2009, KaiBorg was featured at the grand opening of UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Music Center.

Opening for Benevento is UCSD’s KaiBorg, an electronic/ acoustic duo with Jeff Kaiser (left) on trumpet and David Bargo on sax.

2002, first met Kaiser about five years ago, when the latter joined the Integrative Studies program after a varied career that included time spent as a guitarist, choir director, and pastor.

“We immediately hit it off as fellow improvisers,” Borgo said. “And Jeff has a tremendous electronic background, having grown up with pedals and effects. My background was more acoustic, jazz fusion and rock, but he’s been working with elec-

tronic adjustments and extended instruments since the 1980s.”

Laptops have made their work more interesting, more complex, and more portable.

“It’s a whole new instrument to learn,” Borgo said. “And a whole lot of thought has to go into creating the interface so you can be in the moment when you play. But it’s a lot more convenient to carry around a laptop than a suitcase full of guitar pedals!”

City-wide event is a dream come true for Del Mar resident

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net

Jamie Sutton is throwing a Christmas Party — and he’s inviting about 35,000 guests.

The Del Mar resident is the brains and labor behind the first-ever Christmas Tabernacle, to be held at Point Loma’s NTC Liberty Station Dec. 16-18. The familyfriendly event will feature more than 100 vendors, a food court, Christmas concerts and performances, a living nativity scene, interactive workshops, a real snow play zone and a themed Christmas tree area. Admission is $12-$18 and multiday passes are available.

The upcoming event is a dream come true for Sutton. Growing up, his family had annual passes to all the major parks — Disneyland, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo —and they attended each at least 10 times a year, he said.

“One thing I always noticed was how people seemed so happy on those days,” he said. “I thought to

myself that everyone couldn’t be that happy all the time, so it was something about those experiences that made all their troubles go away, even if it was just for one day.”

Sutton said it was “magical” how people could leave it all behind at the gate, and he knew from a young age that he wanted to recreate those types of experiences for others.

Mix with that Sutton’s passion for the Christmas holiday and a dedication to the religious values it’s based on, and A Christmas Tabernacle was born.

“We’re seeing event names change to holiday this and that. Everybody is so PC (politically correct),” he said. “The idea is to go back to being just Christmas.”

Sutton’s Christmas spirit may be as big as his entrepreneurial spirit. He started his own tourism magazine company at the age of 20, and has always kept a book of business ideas close. His

ultimate goal is to own his own theme park, and Walt Disney is his biggest idol.

The idea of A Christmas Tabernacle came up last November.

“It was the holidays, so I was in the mood,” he said.

He started doing research on the viability of such an event and saw there were few large Christmas events that would rival his.

“The more I looked into it, the more excited I got,” he said, adding that there will be a major philanthropic aspect to the event.

The Christmas Tabernacle will feature a forest of 100 Christmas trees that will be uniquely decorated according to themes that will complement each tree’s business sponsor. Those trees will then be donated to families based on need. There will also be a craft station called Santa’s Workshop, where families will be able to make original gifts that can be donated to families in need, if they so wish. A Christmas Tabernacle will

Jamie Sutton also be working with local schools and churches, providing discount tickets for fundraising efforts.

He was invited to show a wide selection from his 55-plus worldwide photographic adventures at the Yuan Xiaocen Art Museum in Kunming, China.

The exhibition, titled ‘Life Elsewhere’, showcased 50 pieces of his art, many from previous trips there. Overall, the art spanned 25 years of his worldwide travels around the globe, and was sponsored by the Audi Car Corporation.

That new work, along with his new Vietnam series he made right after his trip to China, will be on display at the Michael Seewald Gallery in the Del Mar Plaza, with an opening night reception to be held Saturday, Dec. 10. The exhibit will run through Feb. 15, 2012 “It was great, I was treated like a king” Seewald said. “I had everything covered and got to promote my art, as well as photographic art in general, and was able to create a new series to boot, what a country!”

Bid bye-bye to leftover turkey with these delicious dishes The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN There’s good news and bad news as we waddle away from the Thanksgiving table.

The Bad: The more than 45 million turkeys consumed will yield copious amounts of leftovers from 535 pounds of breast meat, thighs, wings and legs.

The Good: There must be 50 ways to use your leftovers.

A Souper Bowl The leftover carcass makes a great soup base, the bones giving rich flavor and body to a turkey noodle, matzo ball, Italian wedding, wild rice, mushroom barley, turkey veggie, pasta e fazol with navy beans, Greek turkey lemon

(avgolemono) or hearty lentil. Throw in some turkey chunks that will become moist and rejuvenated in the pot of savory soups.

Turk Mex Turkey is adaptable to practically every ethnic dish on the planet. For Italian, top a pizza pie with some turkey strips, fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes; bake turkey Parmesan blanketed with marinara sauce; whip up turkey tetrazzini, piccata with lemon and capers, or cacciatore.

Dial up the spice with turkey burritos, turkey chili, or turkey nachos.

Stir-fry a turkey chow or low mein; do turkey spring rolls, egg foo yung, or turkey and black bean sauce over organic jasmine rice.

Be adventurous with Middle Eastern turkey, pair it with walnut and pomegranate sauce, stuffed pitas or turkey saffron rice with lentils.

Turkey A-Go-Go How ‘bout a twist on Shepherd’s Pie using shredded turkey, leftover mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, and other veggies hangin’ around from the big dinner.

Turkey Nicoise Salad center. Drizzle with more dressing if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs.

This salad is a delightful lightweight after the heavy carbs of Thanksgiving with just enough meat and potatoes to satisfy all. (Serves 4) Ingredients: 2 pounds of turkey breast meat, cubed 1 head of bib lettuce, torn in bitesize pieces 1/2 pound of baby creamer red potatoes 1/2 pound of thin green beans or haricots, ends trimmed 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced in quarters 1/2 pound of Roma tomatoes, cubed 1/3 cup each of black and green olives, pitted, halved 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced Chopped fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, tarragon or chives) Method: In two separate pots, boil Also consider Turkey Mac and Cheese, Turkey Sliders with gravy dipping sauce, Turkey Stew, or a classic Turkey Pot Pie. Hail Caesar!

Concoct one-dish salads loaded with lean turkey protein, heart-healthy

the potatoes until tender. Cut lengthwise in quarters, set aside.

Boil string beans for 4 minutes, al dente. Drain and set aside.

Toss the bib lettuce in the dressing (recipe below). Arrange on a large platter, covering the surface. Toss the potatoes and beans in the dressing, separately. Start assembling on the platter in segregated piles — the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, onions, olives and eggs, with the turkey in the

seeds and nuts, fiber, and vitamins A, C, K and lycopene-rich fruits and veggies.

Toss a Turkey Caesar with big chunks of white meat, crunchy romaine, garlic croutons and olive oil-anchovy based dressing (hold the raw egg, even

For the dressing: 1 garlic clove, chopped Juice from one lemon 1 anchovy fillet, drained (optional) 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard 8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon of minced shallots 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste Method: In a small mixing bowl, mash the anchovy and garlic into a paste. Season with salt and pepper.

Whisk in the mustard, lemon and oil until well incorporated. Add the shallots and Worcestershire. Refrigerate.

though your chances of contracting salmonella from an infected egg is 1 in 30,000). Have a yen for Asian? Do a Mandarin with toasted almonds and sesame seeds.

You could also go Greek with black olives, cherry tomatoes, Persian

cukes and crumbled feta.

How about a healthier take on the French Nicoise Salad by swapping out the mercury-laden tuna with chunks of lean white turkey. To talk turkey, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit www.FreeRangeClub. com

PET CONNECTION BABOO is a friendly and lovable guy who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to ďŹ nd a family of his own!

While he absolutely loves spending quality time with his companions, Baboo is also very comfortable spending time alone. He could be a bit shy at ďŹ rst, but he really comes out of his shell once he becomes more familiar with his environment. Even though Baboo doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always like to be petted, he has a really big heart! He will do well in a variety of homes, but would prefer a home without young children. For the Senior Pet Adoption Promotion, from November 5th through November 30th of 2011, Babooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption fee is $25 and includes his neuter, permanent microchip identiďŹ cation, and a certiďŹ cate for a free veterinary exam!

Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe: ‘What a great first year’ This scene has been played out for a year now, it never gets old, that feeling the Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe team gets after the key is turned, the safe is unlocked and all the jewels are safely placed in their very own special location behind glass. Taking a deep breath, team members unlock the doors in anticipation of what a new day will bring.

Often it’s a familiar face, a client stopping in to get her Martin Katz diamond ring cleaned. And there are days when someone walks through the doors after spending hours on a flight home from New York, sitting next to store Managing Director and store owner John Matty, discussing how to update his wife’s jewelry wardrobe.

John will never forget the day when he was having lunch with Martin when Dustin Hoffman called Martin from his cell phone looking for an exquisite cognac briolette diamond necklace, which his wife had seen the week before. A few hours later, beautifully wrapped, off it went.

Martin Katz jewelry has long been well known in Beverly Hills and has adorned

many celebrities as they graced various red carpet events. The Rancho Santa Fe Salon is an extension of the flagship Beverly Hills store, bringing to San Diego County the exquisite and timeless designs of Martin Katz in its own special way. No need to drive to the mall, downtown, or even Los Angeles for the luxury jewelry items you desire.

John Matty and store manager Melissa Braun, along with the Martin Katz team, focus on relationships with their clients, offering personal services, which include special appointments, jewelry consultation and private showings. And what a help to the client when the Martin Katz team brings in just the right piece for that special anniversary or milestone event. Involvement in the community is paramount and Martin Katz loves to sponsor events that are festive and fun for clients and neighboring businesses.

John Matty, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, has always believed in giving back to the community. Pro Kids, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Patrons of the Prado, Kids Korps, Rady Children’s Hospital, Promises to Kids, and many more have benefited from his generosity. Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe gives back to the community because it’s this community that keeps Martin Katz going and growing.

Martin Katz Rancho Santa Fe is located at 6016 La Granada Rancho Santa Fe, 92067; (858) 759-4100; www.martinkatz.com.

CUISINE continued from page 1 leum’s environmental compliance department — the two shared their passion for Peruvian food.

“We lived in a tiny little place but we’d have like 20 people over and cook for everyone,” Daniella said. “We’d make all the great dishes we used to eat growing up — the flavors from our childhood memories.”

Bratzo remembers his entire family in Peru coming together for big, baked lunches every Saturday.

“So much there revolves around home-cooked food, whereas here people often eat out every day,” Bratzo said.

The Basagoitias are firsttime restaurateurs who took a U-turn in their careers in an unsure economy to follow their passion and build something they could call their own. When a friend told Daniella and Bratzo, who were living in Del Mar, that Café Secret was seeking new leadership, Bratzo marched down to the cafe and spoke with the owner that very day.

“I didn’t even know she was the owner and I started talking to her about my idea for the place, and it just clicked,” Bratzo said. “She said ‘You need to cook for us

and if we like the food we can go from there.’ We made empanadas and a pork sandwich and they loved it. They gave us three weeks to open.”

Bratzo knew his recipes and he had worked in a high-volume restaurant before, but never a Peruvian restaurant, which makes complex dishes and uses a variety of rare and fresh ingredients. He trained intensely under a close family friend in Peru during the weeks leading up to the cafe’s opening.

The Basagoitias treat their kitchen at Café Secret as if it were their kitchen at home. They often venture off the menu to please customers, Bratzo said, especially kids. They have also been known to adjust the level of spiciness when necessary or make dishes suitable for vegans or those with other needs.

“It’s like your mom’s kitchen, but producing massive amounts of feel-good food for anyone’s desires,” Daniella said. “We keep it casual and that’s why we refuse to go to cloth napkins. We want to encourage people to feel like they are at home.”
