Scientist receives alumnus award from alma mater BY ASHLEY MACKIN At an awards banquet in Colorado on Oct. 12, local scientist and athlete Jim Matthie received the Adams State University Outstanding Alumnus Award for his development of Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) technology. In the early 1990s, Matthie put together Xitron Technologies, Inc. and through it, co-created BIS, which has been employed as an important tool to assist with renal (kidney) dialysis and weight loss. BIS technology uses a small electronic current to determine how much water is outside the cells of the body and how much is inside the cells. To measure such, small electrodes are placed on the hand and foot, and a safe current at varying frequencies are sent through the body. The higher end ones go straight through the cells and the total impedance is measured. The current at lower frequencies goes around cells and the impedance of the water outside the cells is measured, which is known as hydration status. From the two, one can determine how much water is inside the body’s cells (muscle). For those with kidney issues, having the right balance of fluids is key, because too much water causes “fluid overload,” Matthie said. “When you’re over-hydrated, it causes severe hypertension and that severe hypertension is a known risk factor for heart failure. Your heart’s left ventricle gets larger and eventually it fails. Within five years, 50 percent of all dialysis patients die from heart failure.” Peer-reviewed medical journals have

Local resident runs to help raise funds for SHALVA, a unique nonprofit for children with physical and mental challenges in Israel BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Ron Lifton ran the Jerusalem Half Marathon for Team SHALVA last year, raising funds and awareness for SHALVA, a nonprofit organization for children with physical and mental challenges in Israel. After running those 13.1 miles for Ron Lifton, Rabbi Kalman Samuels SHALVA, LifPhoto/Jon Clark ton wanted to take his involvement one step further and brought the organization’s founder, Kalman Samuels, to San Diego last week for a fundraising reception at his Carmel Valley home. “Ron understood we were a great organization nobody knew about,” Samuels said. “He opened his heart and home and went the extra mile to share the message.” Founded 22 years ago, SHALVA currently serves 450 families with free programs that are filled to capacity. They have a budget of $4 million a year; $1.1 million comes from the government in “dibs and dabs,” but SHALVA is tasked with raising the rest.
The organization has a big project in the works with the new SHALVA National Children’s Center, a $46 million, 200,000-square-foot facility in Jerusalem that would be the largest in the world for children with disabilities. When Lifton decided to participate in the Jerusalem Marathon, he wanted to take part for both the challenge of the run but also to benefit a local organization and in his search he found SHALVA. He joined Team SHALVA for extra motivation and raised $3,600 for the organization. Lifton had the opportunity to meet Samuels at a prerace pasta party in Jerusalem last year. “Nobody knew about SHALVA in California,” said Lifton. “I set a challenge to him to try and change that, that’s why he’s here.” The birth of SHALVA came out of Samuels’ own family tragedy. Samuels is not Israeli, he was actually born in Vancouver, Canada. In 1970, he went to Europe planning to study French and while touring abroad he visited Israel. “I kept delaying my trip home and at the end of the day I never left,” Samuels said, noting he was drawn to the history of his roots and eventually decided to become a Rabbi. He met and married his wife Malki and they had two children together. When their son Yossi was 11 months old, he went in for his DPT (diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus) vaccine. It turned out that there had been a problem with the vaccine and Yossi was left blind, deaf and very hyperactive. The family had two more children and Malki was struggling to take care of Yossi on her own, especially as he was living in a “closed world with no one able to penetrate his bubble.” Malki made a vow to God that if he helped Yossi, she would dedicate herself to helping others. The Samuels received their miracle when Yossi was 8 years old. A deaf teacher named Shoshanna Weinstock was
able to make a breakthrough with Yossi, spelling words into his hands in the same way Annie Sullivan had reached Helen Keller. The first word he learned was “shulchan” — Hebrew for table. “He lit up,” said Samuels. “Suddenly he could communicate…His thirst for knowledge was insatiable. I remember when he knew 10 words, then he knew 40, and then A child at SHALVA 100.” Suddenly he was no longer in a bubble. Malki and Samuels knew that it was “payback time,” that they had to make good on their vow with God and get to work helping others. In 1990, they founded SHALVA in a seven-story facility on a scenic hill with just 10 children in an after-school program. Soon people were banging on their doors and SHALVA grew by leaps and bounds. As parents of a special needs child, they knew what fellow parents and children needed. “All of the programs stem from a mother’s wish,” Sam-

RSF Garden Club collecting donations for military care packages Support our troops overseas! The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is organizing an “all out” effort to support our troops by sending care packages made in Rancho Santa Fe and received in Afghanistan. Last year’s packages were full of everyday necessities — snacks and reading materials and personal notes — and they arrived in time for the holidays. After receiving over 35 boxes from the community of Rancho Santa Fe, 1st Sgt. Adam Bala wrote “Everything the Marines of Golf Company received is of great use and truly appreciated by the Marines. We are located in small patrol bases and do not have access to buy everyday items that are available on larger bases. What people like you send to us is an absolute blessing.” The men and women in uniform are fighting for this country in desolate and often hostile conditions. They are so grateful for the “little” things that are taken for granted every day. In the spirit of community and country, the RSF Garden Club is seeking your donations for items to fill the boxes and cash to pay for the shipping of the boxes. The more “stuff” and money collected, the more boxes that can be sent. Large flat rate USPS boxes will be filled and sealed on Friday, Nov. 9, starting at 11 a.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. There will be a table

The concert on Nov. 11 features selections from the CD album performed by 10 of the program’s 30 talented young artists who participated in the recording. The program is an eclectic mix of very enjoyable classical and jazz pieces ranging from Bach’s “Inventions” and “Partita” to Badelt’s “Pirates of the Carribean” and from Chopin’s “Nocturne” to Joplin’s “The Entertainer,” as well as pieces performed by other equally gifted KIDS Playing For KIDS team members.

“Spheres of Influence” By Jonathon M. Webster
I
’m continually trying to perfect my craft and after 28 years of reading tea leaves I’ve learned a thing or two. To wit, there is a lot more influencing the daily market price of investments than simply raw fundamental analysis. Institutionalized fundamental analysis, in its many qualitative and quantitative disciplines, “We’re not in Kansas is only part of the story. Times have changed anymore.” and it IS different this time and to my way of thinking it will stay that way for the foreseeable investing future, “We’re not in Kansas anymore.” The problem, as I see it, is institutionalized investing generally ignores other, very powerful, outside influences that at times can overwhelm classic and contemporary fundamental analysis. In summary, the efficient market theory is anything but efficient in the the efficient market theory is short and intermediate term which anything but efficient often coincides not so nicely with the emotional tolerance of the average individual investor. A point routinely overlooked by academicians, economists and advisors alike. In my opinion, there are three additional spheres that can, given the right circumstances, overwhelm fundamental analysis in the short and intermediate term. I feel the creation of Did you know we have ships these three additional spheres can largely be attributed to radical advances in that can go underwater now? computing technology. Did you know we have ships that can go underwater now? And the three spheres are: 1. Investor Sentiment/Emotion (Get me out NOW before it all goes to zero) 2. Dark Pools (Barbarians at the Gate) 3. Trading System Failures (Ones and lots of zeros) Some recent examples of these dynamic influences; The submarining of subprime loans in 2008, the so called “Flash Crash” that started on May 6, 2010 at 2:41pm EST, the near bankruptcy of Knight Capital and, of course, this years IPO of Faceplant. Oops, I meant to say Facebook. Caveat emptor. Buyer beware. I believe Investors can get into real trouble if you’re not aware and/or you don’t pay heed to these sometimes very powerful influences. I have spent 28 years trying to define my holistic approach to investing, I hope I did it justice.
Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
For more than 50 years, local animal shelter has been anything but ordinary •Rancho Coastal Humane Society continues to grow, launch unique programs such as pet food bank BY CLAIRE HARLIN When animal lover Maria K. Lloyd bought a little house on 5 acres and started the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in 1960, there was a little dirt road behind the rural property that provided access to it. Now, that dirt road is better known as Interstate 5 and the desolate gap between the property and Del Mar has been filled with the coastal communities of Solana Beach and Leucadia. The sleepy little animal shelter, still visible from Interstate 5, is still today in the same quaint yellow house and, although several rooms have been added on over the years to accommodate the growth, it possesses a unique, cottagelike look in comparison to other shelter buildings. The shelter, located at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas, doesn’t just stand out because of its appearance and visibility from the highway. It’s home to the only military working dog memorial west of the Mississippi, it’s one of few local shelters with a “Rabbitat,” it’s got a thriving community education program that benefits more than 20,000 kids a year and, on Nov. 3, it will open one of the county’s first pet food banks. Not to mention, the Rancho Coastal Humane Society is like a second home to the many locals who frequent the “Cricket’s Corner” dog park there, and the facility is also home to permanent residents Smoky, the llama, and Scooter, the miniature horse. “People think of us as that little local shelter that they drive by on the 5, but we’re just trying to get people to get off the freeway and come in,” said John Van Zante, a spokesman for the Humane Society. He said the shelter has some programs that were once “sleepers,” but have been revived and are growing rapidly. “We’ve been attracting people from Lemon Grove to Orange County,” he said. One program the shelter is proud to offer is the Animal Safehouse Program, which was the third of its kind in the nation when it began in 1997. In cases of domestic abuse, victims generally can’t take animals when they are removed from the home or seek refuge at a shelter, and in those cases, the abuser often turns violent against the pet, Van Zante said. “Sometimes the fear of leaving the animal keeps people in the abusive situation longer than they should,” he said. “We are able to take in the animals here so humans can escape rather than let the pets become the victim.” The shelter has another program called Pets For Patriots that lets members of the military community adopt homeless pets at a discounted rate. Another program, Shelter to
Rancho Coastal Humane Society Soldier, just launched at the Humane Society, and it rescues dogs to train them to become service companions for veterans. The program is run by Graham Bloem, who was a trainer for two years at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in 2006, as well as a number of other training programs. More information on the program can be found at www.specialtydogtraining.com. Knowing that animals are a huge source of fascination for kids, and also that kids will be the next generation of animal owners, the Humane Society’s board has put strong effort into making the facility a go-to source of education for kids. While it may be fun for a child to go to the center and help pick out an animal when the family is looking to adopt, it’s not every day that parents can bring new pets into the home. But there’s still good reason to bring kids to this shelter, whether for a camp, community service or even a birthday party. The shelter conducts parties specially adapted for kids in each age group. Not only do they get to interact with the animals, they can learn about them and how to take care of them. “The kids who come out and have never touched a cat before and you put a kitten in front of them or in their arms, it’s just so real,” said Van Zante. “It’s life. It’s so fragile and it’s relying on us for its life. If you can teach that at a
young age it carries throughout life. “It teaches kids about humanity and the importance of life and others’ feelings. And that’s important because these are the kids who will be our leaders one day.” Van Zante said the shelter’s pet assisted therapy program is one of the fastest growing. It allowed volunteers and their dogs to get free training that will condition them to visit public places such as convalescent homes, schools and libraries to provide therapy to others. This therapy may come in the form of companionship, uplifting those who have gone through hard times or acting as an audience for kids learning how to read. “It involves training the dog, but much of it has to do with training the people, and the owners find it very fulfilling,” Van Zante said. After winning a city grant last summer the shelter will be able to open its doors two Saturdays per month to those in need of pet food and supplies, such as cat litter and food bowls. In addition, The Drake Center for Veterinary Care will be providing free medical care, such as exams and vaccines, once a quarter. See SHELTER, page 20

SHALVA continued from page 4 uels said. Programs include rehabilitative day care for children 18 months to 4 years old, an extended day school program for children ages 6-21, and a graduate social program for those who have graduated from the afterschool program. Additionally, their “Me and My Mommy” program allows mothers to participate in therapy of all kinds and forge bonds with their children, as well as meet mothers going through the same experiences. “They just get put back on their feet,” said Samuels of parents who may feel helpless, depressed or defeated—he said mothers travel from as far as three hours away to participate in the program and there is a waiting list to get into the program. The center also offers overnight and weekend respite—there is room for 20 children to sleep over and provide their family with 36 hours of free time (over 56 hours on the monthly Sabbath weekend). “The respite is unique,” Samuels said. “It’s a great gift to the whole functionality of the family.” All of these programs are free and 150 staff members and 180 eager and de-
voted volunteers help make the center run. Lifton was inspired on his visit to the center, especially by the caring staff. “At SHALVA, you just feel the happiness.” Lifton said. Samuels happily reported that Yossi turned 36 last week, a day before he flew to San Diego. Although he can’t see or hear and uses a wheelchair to get around, he is very active and still has the same thirst for knowledge. He has a newspaper read to him daily, rides horses, can communicate on two hands at the same time and — as a “car freak” — can identify a car just by touching its door handles. In April of this year, Yossi met with former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and in December 2007, he met President George W. Bush at the White House. “He’s a busy, busy young man,” Samuels said. About five years ago, the Israeli government approached Samuels with the opportunity to add on to SHALVA with a 7-acre property in the heart of Jerusalem. Samuels said they will be able to serve so many more children and families with amenities such as an enhanced sports center, room for 100 children to stay overnight, and a life skills training “town” featur-
ing places like stores and banks where participants can be trained to work. The facility is surrounded by 6 acres of park space that will be fully adapted for the use of challenged individuals. “The goal of the park is one magical word called ‘inclusion’,” Samuels said, noting a recent study showed over 50 percent of the public still feel uncomfortable and do not want to be around people with disabilities. “We want to have peer inclusion, that’s very important and stressed in the world of education today…we’re working hard to break down stereotypes.” They still need to raise about $12 million to finish the new center, but they hope to be complete in 2015. Their progress with SHALVA has far exceeded their expectations. “We’re moving forward and quite honestly it is an amazing story that I don’t take credit for,” said Samuels. “My wife is driven to fulfill the needs of others that we didn’t have for our own child.” To learn more about SHALVA, visit www. shalva.org.

Orchestra Nova cancels 2012-2013 Season Orchestra Nova San Diego announced Oct. 26 that it has cancelled the remaining concerts for the 2012 –2013 season. This comes after an impasse in union negotiations, the resignation of its conductor and artistic director Jung-Ho Pak, and the decision to cancel its October concert series Amadeus In Concert. CEO Beverly Lambert said, “We cancelled the October concert series due to the threat of a last-minute strike, as happened with the Chicago symphony in September. This would have left us with a concert hall full of ticket holders, guest artists waiting to perform, and no concert to give. We had to eliminate the possibility of such a scenario and, therefore, cancelled the October concerts. Thereafter, with no reasonable hope of a successful outcome to the negotiations and the loss of our conductor, it was virtually impossible to deliver the rest of our season. “Our ticket holders have always been our highest priority and providing them with the most engaging and inspiring entertainment experience possible is paramount. Although we will not be able to deliver our concerts, we are quite pleased to announce that we have successfully partnered with over 20 arts organizations in San Diego County who have agreed to honor Orchestra Nova tickets for their high-quality events, exhibitions and performances. These groups include some of the most respected and sought-after arts providers in the country, and we are most grateful for their generosity and concern for Orchestra Nova guests.” Board chair Leslie Mittanck concluded, “We would like to thank our beloved guests and the organizations that have stepped up to offer their excellent programs to replace the Nova concerts. We appreciate your support as we weigh our options for Orchestra Nova’s future.” Detailed information (including dates) for each eligible event/performance/exhibition/admission for each organization is on Orchestra Nova’s website (orchestranova.org) . Additional organizations may be added; please check the Orchestra Nova website for updated information as it becomes available.

RSF Big Band to present music of ‘The Greatest Generation’ Nov. 18 The RSF Big Band Swing Orchestra will perform music from “The Greatest Generation” on Sunday, Nov. 18, from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. It’s been coined the “Greatest Generation” by journalist Tom Brokaw when describing the kids who grew up in the United States during the Great Depression, and then who fought in World War II. Music of their era began in the mid-1920s with a form of a sweet and melodic jazz, often including violins. Among the artists were Paul Whiteman, Ted Lewis, Rudy Vallee and Fred Waring. Then in the 1930s a new movement in jazz took form and took off – “swing” with a new crop of musicians like Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Artie Shaw. During and soon after World War II, Earl Hines, Dizzy Gillespie and Lionel Hampton introduced Bebop style to jazz. From the 1950s to the 1970s performers such as Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Stan Kenton found their direction and added to the already vibrant vibe of 20th century music. The Greatest Generation heard it all, and to them the RSF Big Band plans to dedicate this Rancho Santa Fe Big Band concert, under the direction Dom Addario of Professor Jack Wheaton on Nov. 18 at the Village Church (6225 Paseo Delicias, RSF). Cost is $45 per person, available at the RSF Association (858-756-1174; 17022 Avenida de Acacias, RSF); Cost is $400 for a table of 10 by calling 858-756-4542. Limited seating will be available at the door. Go to www.rsfbb.com for more information.

schools would benefit from projects supported by the bond, Nascenzi said. One of the biggest beneficiaries would be Earl Warren Middle School. Nascenzi said when he moved here 15 years ago, there were concerns then about the condition of Earl Warren Middle School and very little has changed since that time. The master plan for Earl Warren includes replacing the existing school with a new school and maintaining the existing joint-use library. The district’s plan also includes a new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch, next to Canyon Crest Academy, which will serve 1,000 students and help overcrowding at Carmel Valley Middle School. The district intends to reduce enrollment at Carmel Valley Middle School from its current level of around 1,500 students to 1,000 students and reconfigure the Carmel Valley Middle School campus to ensure that the campus is fire safe, free of infrastructure problems, construct new drama and music buildings and update computer, math and science labs.
bar-Eck said. They tried to negotiate an easement using the neighboring Evangelican Formosan Church’s property but the church was unwilling to grant the easement. The access point will now be a driveway near the toe of the slope of the property. A short deceleration lane will be added for the entrance to the church and a short acceleration lane will be added for the right-only exit.
JUST IN!!
As Torrey Pines is approaching 40 years in existence, Nascenzi said people can only imagine the needs if you looked at the school like you would a 40-year-old house—he said the needs were illustrated by a water main break a few weeks ago. Plans to improve Torrey Pines include science and technology upgrades, a renovation of the science facilities, upgrading the heating and air conditioning system, developing new industrial arts and shops, and giving the campus a performing arts center. It is the only high school in the district without one. Even though Canyon Crest Academy is the newest school, Nascenzi said they ran out of money when building it and were unable to build athletic fields and additional classes for science and technology. The master plan for CCA includes a new black box theater, repurposing the existing black box theater to industrial arts for a robotic program, a new dance classroom, constructing a new two-story classroom building for science labs, renovating the athletic fields, constructing a new allweather track and synthetic soccer field with bleachers, as well as new varsity baseball and softball fields.
Manjeet Ranu, the Pacific Highlands Ranch representative on the planning board, said there are concerns in the community about why the proceeds from the bond would pay for a new PHR middle school when residents are paying Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) taxes to finance services like schools. “There’s a feeling that there’s some double-dipping,” Ranu said. John Addleman, SDUHSD’s director of planning and financial management, said Mello Roos is still part of the district’s bond program, but PHR’s CFD would not provide funding until 2019-20 in the amount of about $20 million. Typically with planning for a new school, the state would supplement CFD funds with a matching grant, but Addleman said that the state is looking to discontinue that program. He said the district can’t rely on state funding and they want to ensure that money is available when they need to build— they are hoping to start planning for the middle school in 2014 to be open in 2016.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Prop AA a great investment in the future As a parent and homeowner in the San Dieguito Union High School District I have had the distinct honor to serve as President of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation for the last two years. This position has afforded me an inside look at the financial challenges that our district faces as we strive to continue to provide the top flight education that our students, parents, and community have come to expect. Each year committed volunteers raise funds to help support our schools and bridge the gap in funding from Sacramento yet there are some projects that are simply too big and too critical for volunteer organizations to tackle. Looking to the future the district administration and its planning committees have realized that all of our schools will need upgrades to meet evolving technological standards for classrooms, labs, and libraries. Aging schools, the oldest 75 years old, suffer from leaky roofs, rusty plumbing, and inadequate electrical systems. Some schools don’t meet modern seismic standards; others still have hazardous asbestos and lead to remove. Uncertain revenues from Sacramento, even if current state propositions should pass, means that soon our board and administration will be facing decisions between providing safe, modern schools, and teachers in our classrooms. San Dieguito UHSD has not asked voters to pass a bond measure in more than 40 years but we cannot afford to wait any longer. We need a secure source of local funding that the state cannot dip into to assure that our school district remains among the top public schools in the country. When my family moved here 12 years ago it was because of the schools. When housing prices around the country were plummeting, our neighborhoods held more value than most because of the schools. The expected cost of this bond measure is significantly less than the average donation to our foundation and something I consider a great investment in the quality of local education as well as my homes resale value. There have been several letters recently by current and would-be board members expressing their displeasure with proposition AA. While I appreciate everyone’s right to their opinion I am saddened by the politicizing of our student’s future. Having been involved in bond measures in other school districts, I believe this to be the best thought out, most thoroughly planned request I have seen to date. The proposal has been through multiple rounds of trimming, revision and consideration to emerge as proposition AA. The web site friendsofsandieguitoshools.com contains full details of the intended projects and I urge all voters to go there, read it, and decide for yourselves. I for one support proposition AA wholeheartedly and I hope you and your readers will join me and vote Yes for our communities future, Vote Yes on proposition AA. Mark W. Bath, President Torrey Pines High School Foundation
The tax wolf in bond clothing When people hear “bond” it’s likely to conjure up positive sentiments such as James or savings. Few people think “tax,” but that’s the decision confronting Californians like never before. Come Nov. 6, $14.4 billion in bond measures will be on the ballot. (It’s actually closer to $40 billion as you’ll see below.) Over the last decade statewide straight tax initiatives don’t have a good passing rate, but 80 percent of school bonds have been approved since 2001 when laws changed requiring only 55 percent approval instead of the super majority 2/3rds. School officials have spotted this easy money and are drowning citizens with a whopping 600 percent increase in the amount of bonds compared to the last election. Bonds are loans government entities takes out with a promise to repay using future collected taxes. These loans typically have a payback period of 20-40 years. Repayment plans can vary much like house or auto loans. There can be introductory teaser rates, interest only or even periods of no payments like Poway, Santee and dozens of other school districts have entered into which will see them paying back 10-20 times what they initially borrowed. Why are school bonds so easily approved while traditional tax initiatives are voted down? Many citizens don’t have the economic sophistication to understand bonds are a form of taxation. The ballot language for bond measures talks about “issuing” and “selling” bonds. Usually when products are sold there’s a profit made which is a positive step for finances. Deeper in the ballot text it mention a tax will be required, but that’s surrounded by dense financial language that most gloss over. If the ballot language used the more understandable borrow and loan terms voters would better appreciate the implications of bonds. Bonds are most often used for schools which lends itself to a sympathetic emotion “it’s for the kids” appeal. While big construction projects and essential repairs such as the ever present “leaky roofs” are often touted as the justification for bonds, enroll-
ment at most public schools is flat or down which raises questions about whether massive school building is even necessary. Bond moneys can be spent on everything except payroll and benefits. Furniture, iPads, personal computers or even routine maintenance such as paint, carpet, and light bulbs are now uses of bond funds. Districts are increasingly turning to bond money to pay for everything in the budget that isn’t personnel costs thereby freeing up money for ever growing salaries and benefits. Some have rightly criticized the strategy of borrowing money over 25 years to pay for lightbulbs and tablet computers which will only last a few years. The true cost of bonds are routinely understated in ballot literature. For example Proposition Z, the San Diego Unified School District bond measure is listed as a $2.8 billion bonds. Since bonds are loans not only the principal must be paid back, but also interest. Rates vary but a conservative estimate will see double the amount borrowed in interest charges over the life of the bond. Thus the $2.8 billion bond will require repayment of around $8 billion. Nowhere in the ballot description is this true cost mentioned which leads people to greatly underestimate the cost of bond measures. Bonds are the most insidious form of taxation because the entire amount is received up front with future citizenry required to repay the money years later. Bonds are the diametric opposite of living within your means. It’s alluring to politician who gets to spend the largesse while they’re in office and who will likely be long gone when the bulk of repayment come due. 106 different local bond initiatives will be on the upcoming CA ballot. Each offering what may feel like a free ride to many — almost a gift for our children. The biggest gift for the children will be to vote no on loans which will saddle them with massive debt obligations in their earning years for paint, light bulbs and iPads long since worthless.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Do as I say, not as I do, in ‘Measure For Measure’ BY DIANA SAENGER S h a k e speare’s “Measure for Measure” has a reputation for being one of his “problem” plays. However, team members from the University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program are ready to prove just the opposite — even though the department has never done the show in its 25year history. The Old Globe will collaborate on the production, which stages Nov. 10-18 in Balboa Park. Christopher Salazar, who plays Duke Vincentio, said the confusing script centers on a Duke who rules with the knowledge that his country has fallen into disrepair. “He decides to leave for a while and put the strict and regimented Angelo (Matthew Bellows) in charge to clean up the place,” Salazar said. “The Duke says he’s going abroad, but instead, he stays around in a disguise and sees that Angelo takes his duty to extremes.” A big subplot of the play involves Angelo ordering an execution for Claudio (Adam Gerber), who has premarital
TGDM_2697_SRDC_Thanksgiving_MSM_AD_c1.indd 1
relations with his fiancée, Juliet (Erin Elizabeth Adams). “This was strictly forbidden at the time, and the story gets very interesting as Isabella (Whitney Wakimoto), sister of the man to be executed, goes to Angelo to plead for her brother’s life,” Salazar said. “The strict, regimented Angelo, who is known for not giving over to any of his own carnal desires, faces just that when he meets the engaging and intelligent Isabella and falls in love with her. In essence, Angelo is feeling the same things for Isabella that he’s sentenced Claudio to death for, and he faces a huge decision.” Salazar, who has a B.A. in Dramatic Arts from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said although he has performed in many Shakespearean festivals, he found the role of the Duke a challenge. “I’m excited to take on something that is a bit of a stretch and go in a different direction than I normally play,” he said. “And, I’m playing my character through the eyes of another character in a mask instead of that of the Duke. I like that the play is interspersed with great comedic characters, and although it has a dark theme, it has so much comedy throughout that is just as prevalent as the serious matter.” Salazar added that he finds much more in the script than the theme of hypocrisy. “The story is about compassion, love and loyalty, and how the human spirit can show up when someone does wrong and wants to do right in the end.” If you go: What: The Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program production of ‘Measure for Measure’ When: Nov. 10–18 Where: Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park Tickets: From $19 Phone: (619) 23-GLOBE Website: TheOldGlobe.org

Polo-themed bar The Pony Room opens at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KELLEY CARLSON A new polo-themed bar at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa is helping the property get back into the swing of things, after recently undergoing a $30 million transformation. Open since Oct. 22, The Pony Room is a full-service bar that offers a variety of beverages, from high-end wines and spirits to unique cocktails, in addition to bold, flavorful fare in small, shareable portions. It’s one of two new dining locations within the Rancho Santa Fe retreat, along with Veladora, a restaurant that focuses on coastal ranch cuisine created with seasonal ingredients and tasting menus. Other recent changes during the renovation of the Mediterranean-inspired resort — which officially reopened on Oct. 26 — include design enhancements of the 49 all-suite guest villas, the Hacienda guest home and the clubhouse; resurfacing of the 18 tennis courts; a new lineup of wellness programs, fitness classes and spa treatments; the addition of a 1,000-square-foot Yoga Pavilion; and newly designed event spaces. “We are extremely excited to reopen our doors at Rancho Valencia and welcome diners to experience our new offerings,” said Jayson Knack, the resort’s director of restaurants and a member of the Court of Masters Sommeliers, in a news release. “We have been working tremendously to revitalize this space over the past year. Every aspect of our food and beverage program, from Chef (Eric) Bauer’s fresh, seasonal menu ingredients to our impressive collection of fine wines, has been fine-tuned and meticulously selected to enhance our guests’ dining experiences and surpass the highest of expectations.” The Pony Room — which is adjacent to Veladora — is housed in the former “La Sala” room, which was used for private dining and as a meeting space. It has been altered into more of a social gathering place, with decor influenced by area residents’ passion for equines and the sport of polo. “Our location to the Del Mar racetrack and the horse community in our local area made this a good fit,” Knack said in an interview. A small pony logo appears on items such as napkins, coffee, beer mugs and some of the plates, and the legs of the bar stools are anchored by hooves. And much of the artwork, created by various painters, portray scenes of polo, a game that resembles field hockey that is played on horseback with a long-handled mallet.
creations such as Made Pony, a concoction of light rum, organic strawberries, agave nectar and hand-pressed lime juice, and Neck Shot, a mix that includes blanco tequila, Serrano-infused simple syrup and grapefruit soda. Bauer heads the kitchen at The Pony Room and Veladora, and incorporates local produce into his dishes from nearby growers such as Chino Family Farm. He plans to obtain fresh honey from six beehives that are on the Rancho Valencia property, and utilize the resort’s olive grove for house-made olive oil. A garden on the 45 acres is also in the works. Small plates and shareable food comprise most of the menu at The Pony Room, although some entrees are available, as well.

Eddie V’s for seafood … and a whole lot more! BY KELLEY CARLSON ddie V’s Prime Seafood, whose La Jolla location overlooks the Pacific, provides a menu that swells with offerings from North American waters. Inspired by classic seafood restaurants in San Francisco, New Orleans and Boston, Eddie V’s creates dishes from catch kept fresh, whether it’s from West Coast docks, the North Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. For instance, there is the Point Judith Calamari, named for the cape on the coast of Narragansett, R.I. The colorful appetizer is prepared kung-pao style with roasted cashews and crisp noodles. And then there are entrees such as the Pacific Swordfish, broiled with fresh Jonah crab, avocado and red chili vinaigrette, which pairs well with a side of Crab Fried Rice with scallions and mushrooms; and the Georges Bank Scallops, mollusks obtained from New England that are sautéed with citrus, roasted almonds and brown butter. Although the name implies it’s strictly a seafood establishment, Eddie V’s also offers USDA prime, center-cut steaks that are aged 28 days and obtained from a butcher in Chicago. Among the selections are two sizes of filet mignon, a 16-ounce New York strip and a 22-ounce bone-in rib eye. “For being primarily a seafood restaurant, we sell a lot of prime steaks, as well,” Executive Chef Chris Gardner said. To accompany the dishes — served family-style — there are sides such as Truffled Macaroni and Cheese. Guests can conclude their meal with one of a halfdozen desserts; the “go-to” item is the flaming Hot “Bananas Foster” Butter Cake

The La Jolla location of Eddie V’s is similar in decor to the seven additional restaurants in the chain, which are located in Texas and Arizona, although there are some aspects that make it unique. The large windows that enclose the split-level interior — divided into a lounge/bar and the main dining room — permit views of the ocean and La Jolla sea caves. A century-old fireplace that was part of the original building on the site — the Wahnfried Cottage — provides a sense of warmth and coziness. Just outside on the deck, children often watch sea lions swimming around the caves and listen to their echoing barks. Upstairs, on the covered Waterfront Terrace, patrons can dine in small groups and take advantage of pleasant weather. Inside the V Lounge, guests can sit at the bar or at tables near the piano and listen to live jazz music daily, starting at 6 p.m.

Reservations are recommended, managing partner Mario Vega said, as the restaurant constantly fills during lunch and dinner. However, it’s walk-in business in the lounges, where customers can receive $2 off drinks during the daily happy hour. Gardner recommends that a half-hour before sunset, patrons settle in while it’s still daylight, watch the setting sun, and then have dinner to catch “a few different phases of dining.” The Waterfront Terrace is the ideal place to sit for such an experience, and reservations should be made a couple weeks in advance to guarantee a spot there. “There are a lot of faithfuls and die-hard fans we see here on a weekly basis,” Vega said. “A lot of them grew up when this (place) was The Chart House. They see what it has evolved into. It’s a lot of memories for a lot of people.”

The Drake Center for Veterinary Care known for longtime provision of ‘unprecedented levels of care and service’ BY KATHY DAY Longevity means a lot in the veterinary care industry, and Michele Drake, DVM, says the 20-year track record of The Drake Center speaks volumes about her business. From 1992, when she purchased the business and was the lone vet with three employees, to today with six doctors and 30 employees, the center has been all about “unprecedented levels of care,” she said. Their menu of services includes wellness care, hospitalization and emergency care, along with dentistry, surgery and acupuncture. They also provide behavioral education, laboratory and prescription services, and diet and nutrition education, as well as bathing and boarding, primarily for their client base since they don’t have a separate boarding facility. About 99 percent of the animals the Drake team sees are cats and dogs, although they also care for rabbits and “pocket pets” on occasion. Citing their mission statement – “to provide the best medical and surgical care in a compassionate environment and to provide unsurpassed service for our clients” – Drake said they are known for “awesome patient care and customer service.” With a front staff that is good at listening, they know when people come in fear and know how to soothe that feeling. “They are fearful for their pet, or fearful it will misbehave or even fearful of being judged,” said the graduate of the University of Missouri at Columbia who also is certified in veterinary acupuncture. “We get that.” For the senior citizen “who can’t handle giving five medications to her dog,” they can adjust the routine so she can handle it, or when a mom arrives with three children and the dog in tow, the staff will go out and help them get into the office and entertain the kids, Drake said. “We hire people with the same philosophy of treating
pets like family member,” she added. And with a “high retention rate of capable and knowledgeable people,” The Drake Center staff has watched as their customers’ families grew and matured. “Relationship building is key,” Drake noted. “We’re like the oldtime family doctor.” Michele Drake, DMV The staff can tailor medications and treatment plans based on what’s best for the family and also takes budget into consideration since Drake recognizes that specialized veterinary services can be costly. When that type of care is called for, Drake and her associates will recommend specialists and stay involved in what needs to be done. They may turn to an “integrative” approach that uses Western and Eastern techniques with pets, sometimes utilizing Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, which the center’s website says “is based on the concept of balance using

acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, food therapy and Qigong.” Pain management is a particular strength of the center, according to Drake. “We want to make sure our patients don’t have pain.” But sometimes they recognize there’s not much that can be done beyond keeping an animal comfortable. In one recent case, a woman came in with a dog with an upset stomach that turned out to be inoperable cancers, Drake said. When she heard the news, she asked the doctors to make sure her children had time to come home from college and say goodbye. “The biggest thing we do here is our very special way of taking care of our clients,” she said. “We believe we are head and shoulders above others in this respect.” Important to remember: Dr. Drake says pets should be seen at least once a year. They age more quickly than humans so there are things we can catch if they get regular checkups. She also says after age 8 or 9 they should be checked twice a year. With all pets, if you see a change in their behavior or break in their routine, such as not greeting you at the door or not staying beside you while you’re working at the computer, have them checked.

Ask the Plastic Surgeons By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. I’m looking for an alternative to plastic surgery that will rejuvenate my facial appearance without a surgical procedure. What are my options? A. New advancements in laser technology and injectibles are changing the way both men and women approach the anti-aging process. We have a variety of options that are less invasive and popular with an increasing number of patients that are searching for a more realistic way to fend off aging without the downtime of surgical procedures. These options resonate with our clientele who are seeking a more realistic, affordable and accessible alternative to plastic surgery. This time of year is particular advantageous to conduct laser treatments, when the facial skin is not as vulnerable to the harsher rays of the summer sun. Additionally, laser treatments stimulate the body to repair itself gradually, which creates a more subtle and natural-looking result. We use injectibles and fillers to replace volume and slow down or postpone the effects of the aging process,
Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD not reverse it. It’s critical to discuss with your physician the results you are seeking with one of these treatments, particularly when it comes to injectibles. If you prefer a natural look that allows for flexible facial expression and movement, relay this in your initial consultation. Less is always more; if you find that you need to return for additional treatments, it’s easier to add and virtually possible to take away what has already been in-
jected. In our practice, we utilize s a state-of-the-art laser machine called the Sciton XC laser to perform a Micro Laser “Fresh Peel”. This technologically advanced treatment removes a minute layer of damaged skin to improve texture and provide a more youthful appearance. It provides superior results because it can be administered with great precision of depth. During the Micro Laser “Fresh Peel”, a beam is scanned over a treatment area to remove a very thin layer of skin, which takes with it damaged cells. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow to reveal healthier looking skin, reduced wrinkles, minimized scars and improved color evenness. The result is skin that looks vibrant and glowing. Although there is minimal down time of one to two days, the results are extraordinary. Other non-invasive options include microdermabrasion and chemical or enzyme peels, which we conduct out of our Laser and Skin Care Center. As always, we recommend you discuss your options with your dermatologist and plastic surgeon. John Smoot, MD, is Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years. Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. The practice has over 20 years of tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Any of the physicians can provide consultations on plastic surgery procedures and/or laser and skincare treatments
North Shore Girls Softball opens spring registration and gears up for the 25th Anniversary of the league 2013 will be a year-long celebration for one local softball league as it celebrates 25 years of quality softball in the North Shore region of San Diego County. North Shore Girls Softball is made up of the communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, and Torrey Hills. John Wood, a resident of Carmel Valley since 1998, will preside over the league during this milestone year. “As a coach and volunteer in the league, I have seen the focus on player development reap benefits as teams have consistently qualified for the highest level tournaments”, said Wood. As president, Wood plans to continue the emphasis on skills development, and plans to have fun along the way. It was at the end of the last All Star season that he reached out to the East Honolulu Girls Softball league and began charting a course to
participate in their Paradise Tournament held each summer near Waikiki. There is obvious excitement in his eyes as the talks about the trip that is almost 10 months away. “I love the support we get from our North Shore families and the spirit with which they approach every season…I expect we will be taking several teams to Oahu next summer to play softball and make a pilgrimage to the “other North Shore.” Registration is now open for the spring season. Registration closes on Nov. 30. The North Shore season begins on Jan. 12, 2013 with an exclusive day-long development clinic featuring the 12 time NCAA Champion UCLA Women’s Softball Team.

Dozens of talented young musicians from around the county will perform Saturday, Nov. 10, in Solana Beach to brighten the lives of children who have complex congenital heart disease. Money raised at the third annual Heart of a Child concert will benefit the Ariana Fund, a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 in memory of Ariana Miller, a 13-year-old Encinitas Ariana Miller girl who died from the disease that year while waiting for a heart transplant. In its young history, the Ariana Fund has awarded nearly $45,000 in grants, including recent awards of $10,000 to expand Resounding Joy’s “Healing Notes” music therapy program at Rady Children’s Hospital for patients with congenital heart disease, and $7500 to Camp del Corazon, a summer camp on Catalina Island for children with heart disease. Ariana loved music, played piano and sang in choir. The event will be co-hosted this year by Loren Nancarrow and Hal Grant. Nancarrow, a well-known local television personality, is news anchor on FOX 5 San Diego. Grant has directed many network television shows and currently directs the Steve Harvey Show in Chicago. The concert will be held Saturday, Nov. 10, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church, 424 Via de la Valle, in Solana Beach, just north of the county fairgrounds. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for refreshments and a silent auction. Tickets, at $25 each general admission and $15 students, can be purchased at the door or online at www.thearianafund.org.

To Your Health: Diabetes: Past, Present and Future BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH In 1920, a Canadian surgeon by the name of Dr. Frederick Banting decided to test a theory. He believed that diabetes might be related to the function of the pancreas. Two years later, Banting and his assistant tested their insulin extract on their first human subject, a 14-year-old boy with severe diabetes who was close to death. The boy responded positively to the insulin treatments, as did other volunteers. Through further researcher, Banting found that adjusting blood glucose levels helped the insulin work more effectively. For the first time in history, doctors had a treatment for diabetes, and in 1923 Banting was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In 1924, Scripps Metabolic Clinic in downtown La Jolla became one of the first sites on the West Coast to offer insulin therapy. Since Banting’s initial discovery, diabetes treatments have steadily improved. The first oral medications created
UCSD theater and dance department opens 40th season In a season celebrating its 40th anniversary, UC San Diego Department of Theatre & Dance will present an array of productions with an experimental edge. The 2012-13 season opens Nov. 14 and ends April 27. “In total, our season features seven exceptional American plays, including four new productions in our spring New Play Festival; as well as two rarely seen classics by Shakespeare and Pirandello,” said department chair Jim Carmody. “We are also presenting a new sitespecific dance performance in our Arts in Action series, plus two dance productions featuring new works by faculty and student choreographers.” Each season (fall, winter, spring) begins with a new group of MFA students, some of the most promising young artists in the nation. Performances take place at intimate venues within the UCSD Theatre District. The productions for fall are listed below. For the winter and spring shows, visit theatre.ucsd.edu • “Lumping in Fargo” What: Lyrics and book by Bryan Reynolds, music by Michael Hooker, directed by Jim Carmody. The script collages several of Shakespeare plays to conjure an epic stormy night in which love and romance blow in with the wind and the rain, turning Leopold Wallersheim’s world inside out. Used to living with only his faithful singing poodle and his antique furniture collection for company, misanthropic Leopold finds himself in a strange new world of alternately thrilling and terrifying emotions. When: 8 p.m. Nov. 14, 15, 16; 2 and 8 p.m. Nov. 17; 7 p.m. Nov. 18 Where: Arthur Wagner Theatre • “Elizabeth I”
What: Directed by Kate Jopson, Paul Foster’s play follows a rogue acting troupe as it illegally performs a tale about one of the Western world’s most fascinating monarchs. Irreverent and wild, humorous and witty, the play exposes the absurdity of politics, not only in the Elizabethan Era, but also our own time. The play asks, “In the large scope of the universe, we have just a speck of time — what should we do with it?” When: 8 p.m. Nov. 16; 2 and 8 p.m. Nov. 17 and Nov. 24; 7 p.m. Nov. 25 Where: Potiker Theatre • “In the Red and Brown Water” What: Steeped in ritual and African parables, Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play weaves a tale of passion and pride, humility and heartbreak. It is first in the trilogy “The Brother/Sister Plays.” Swirling in evocative prose, poetry and myth, Oya faces the hardest decision of her life: go to college on a track scholarship or nurse her dying mother? The fallout from her choice sends her plunging into the deep waters of womanhood. Directed by Gregory Wallace. When: 8 p.m. Nov. 1920, Nov 29-30 and Dec 1; 2 and 8 p.m. Nov. 24 Where: Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre • Arts in Action: CONNECTED What: Dance/happening created by Robert Castro, Patricia Rincon and Natalia Verdi When: 8 p.m. Nov. 30, Dec. 1 Where: Site TBD Tickets: Box Office: (858) 5344574 Online: theatre.ucsd. edu/subscribe Season subscriptions: $40-$20
for patients with type 2 diabetes were designed to stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, thereby increasing the amount of insulin in the bloodstream and lowering blood glucose. These medications were known as sulfonylureas and included Glucotrol and Diabeta. A more effective generation of insulin-producing oral medications followed, marketed under the brand names Prandin and Starlix. While these insulin-producing medications were effective when combined with diet and exercise, they also posed the risk of reducing blood sugar to dangerously low levels. In addition, patients had to be capable of producing at least some insulin on their own in order for the drugs to work. It was not until the early 1990s that pharmaceutical companies began releasing new diabetes medications into the U.S. market. Over the next 10 years, a number of drugs were introduced that treated diabetes in various ways when coupled with proper diet and exercise, and many of these are still widely in use today. Introduced in the 1990s, metformin helps people with diabetes maintain more stable blood sugar levels by reducing the amount of glucose that enters the bloodstream. Metformin accomplishes this by either decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver or by temporarily slowing the body’s absorption of glucose. Thiazolidinediones were also introduced in the 1990s. Known as TZDs, these oral medications address the body’s inability to use insulin effectively to control blood sugar. Marketed under the brand names Actos and Avandia, TZDs temporarily increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin, enabling it to process insulin more effectively. As with earlier drugs, TZDs can be used only in patients who produce at least some insulin naturally. Additionally, the FDA has determined that TZDs may increase the risk of heart attack in people who have heart failure. In 2006, the FDA approved the first DPP-IV inhibitor, an oral medication that increases the body’s ability to produce insulin when needed by blocking the actions of an enzyme. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, taken by injection, also increase insulin levels when needed, reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver and reduce the rate of digestion. As a result, patients may have less appetite and lose weight. Both DPP-IV inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists help glucose remain stable for longer periods of time and have few side effects. Unlike the sulfonylureas used decades earlier, these medications do not increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Other recent medications include starch blockers such as acarbose, which slows the digestion of food to prevent blood sugar from increasing significantly after meals. Symlin, an injectable medicine used with insulin, also helps to control blood sugar after meals. Medications continue to be improved and refined. Whereas GLP-1 agonists used to require several daily injections, they are now approved for use just once per week. Newer types of insulin may soon be available that allow much more flexibility; for example, longer-acting insulin can be taken once a day and effectively control insulin levels for eight to 40 hours. Conversely, ultra-short-acting forms of insulin mimic our biological insulin mechanisms by producing insulin within minutes of eating. Blood glucose testing methods have dramatically
changed as well. The first blood glucose meters dated back to the early 1970s and weighed several pounds. Testers placed a drop of blood on a treated paper slip, waited one minute, and then matched the color to a chart to determine their glucose level. Now, blood glucose meters are tiny, computerized and give instant, accurate results. Insulin pumps, too, have come a long way. In the 1970s, insulin pumps were cumbersome devices the size of a videotape player that people carried on like backpacks. Today, they are the size of a small mobile phone and disposable— patients simply toss them when they are empty. On the horizon are closed loop pumps which detect blood sugar levels every few minutes and deliver insulin accordingly. Diabetes treatments are improving constantly. Until there is a cure, we will continue to find new and better ways to successfully manage and prevent this disease.

Fall in love with autumn’s harvest The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN ‘Tis the season for hearty veggies with pungent aromas, divine rich flavors and interesting back stories to dial-up your dishes and answer your culinary curiosities. Let’s get to the root of the matter with some fall faves. I Yam what I Yam Are yams and sweet potatoes the same? These two tubers are not botanically created equal. Sweet potatoes, members of the morning glory family cultivated in the southern U.S. in the 16th century are orange or golden-fleshed dicotylens,
while yams, Latin American imports with African and Asian ancestry are monocots belonging to the Dioscoreaceae family. The appearances and textures of these two flowering plants differ too: the stubby, taper-ended sweet potato has a glabrous thinskin ranging from purpley red to brown; the scalyskinned yam with varying hues from dark brown to light pink is elongated and cylindrical-shaped. The former is also moist and sweet with a mother lode of Vitamins C, B6, iron, potassium, calcium and folic acid, and beats the pants off of yams in calcium, iron, Vitamin E and beta-carotene content, probably in part due to yam’s lighter, less nutrient-rich “flesh” color. To prevent tuber confusion, the Department of Agriculture has stipulated that the ruby roots must include the tag line “sweet potato” especially if they are casually referred to as “yams.” Whether your druthers are sweet potatoes or yams, they both add a nutritional oomph to any dish along with a splash of eye candy. These creamy complex
carbs can be pureed into baby foods, quick breads, custards, pies or cream soups, diced into stews, sliced into French-fries, grated into pancakes or croquettes or shredded raw into salads. These tubers pair well with coconut, ginger, lime, cinnamon, nutmeg and honey. Stinky Sprouts Are Brussels sprouts immature cabbages? Although they resemble miniature cabbage heads, Brussels sprouts are yet another member of the crucifer family. They were cultivated in the 16th century in the Flemish city of Brussels, ergo the name. Rows of sprouts grow on a long stalk, two to three feet in length. These low cal, high fiber, anti-carcinogen powerhouses are packed with Vitamins A, K, C, B6, folate, potassium, thiamin, iron and manganese. Slice them raw in slaws or sauté and toss in salads, or roast with balsamic vinegar and olive oil as a side for your holiday duck or turkey. The Albino Carrot Are parsnips unripe or immature carrots?

Sweet Potato Chips A-Go-Go For a riff on potato chips, try this healthier baked version with the ruby tuber and some herbs and spices for some culinary rock ’n’ roll. 1 large sweet potato, peeled ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ¼ teaspoon cumin ¼ teaspoon brown sugar ¼ teaspoon sea salt Drizzle of olive oil
brown. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and spices. Sprinkle the mixture on the chips and munch away.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Make paper-thin slices of the sweet potato with a slicer or mandolin. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil. Place the slices on the sheet, single-file and brush these lightly with olive oil. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until brown. Turn over and bake for another few minutes until Parsnips, European imports from the 1600s are a close cousin to the carrot not an unripe version. They are mostly enjoyed cooked, whether roasted or tossed in soups and stews exuding an aroma reminiscent of turnips, a creamy buttery texture, and a sharp taste similar to butterscotch and cardamom. The Eyes Have it Which potatoes have the highest starch content? Russets, hands down
are the king of starch, making them the best potatoes for baking and whipping up fluffy mashed potatoes. And as they don’t absorb a lot of oil russets are also the best choice for French fries too. Since red-skins and Yukon Golds have a lower starch content they stay firm after cooking, making them ideal for potato salads, soups, chowders and scalloped dishes. Rings a Bell What’s the
diff
be-
tween green bell peppers and red ones? Just like green olives are unripe black ones, green bells are unripe red, yellow and orange ones. The immature greens will eventually change color and develop more nutrients. Red and orange hued peppers contain 11 times the beta-carotene as green ones.

7921 DIXIE LANE RANCHO SANTA FE, CA 92127 A.P.N.: 267-200-35-00 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneďŹ ciary within 10 days of the date of ďŹ rst publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s ofďŹ ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneďŹ ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com, using the ďŹ le number assigned to this case 12-151011. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The Seany Foundation gathered nearly 200 of San Diego’s most influential community members at the Del Mar Country Club Oct. 13 to celebrate its 5th Annual Everything Is Possible Celebration. The event featured cocktails, live entertainment, silent and live auctions, and gourmet cuisine. Proceeds go toward vital research initiatives and life-enhancing programs for children battling cancer. Sean Lewis Robins founded The Seany Foundation in 2005, as he battled his own cancer. Sean fought Ewing sarcoma (a rare bone cancer) for nearly seven years, until his death in 2006. He was just 22. The Seany Foundation is Sean’s legacy, and continues to work to improve the lives of children, teens, and young adults battling cancer.

The original Holcombe Homes announces new service for Realtors and home buyers Tim Holcombe, owner of award-winning design/ build firm Holcombe Homes, has announced that the firm is offering a new, free service to area home buyers and their realtors – onsite consultation. “The real estate market has changed so dramatically in the past five years we have found that buyers needing design services need to be extra careful making sure their prospective remodel will create the home of their dreams,� Holcombe said. “Because pricing and values have dropped considerably, buyers can’t afford to make a mistake on their purchase.� Holcombe provides free consultation to realtors and their buyers on whether and how a home they are contemplating can be remodeled in a cost-effective way that meets their desires. “More and more, realtors are taking us up on this service so buyers feel more confident in their decision-making,� Holcombe said. Holcombe Homes is owned by master design/builder Tim Holcombe. Holcombe Homes is the legacy company originally founded by Tim’s parents in 1972. The company has provided design/build services to Southern CaliTim Holcombe fornia residents, with a focus on Rancho Santa Fe, for over forty years, and has worked in Phoenix, Scottsdale, San Antonio, Montana, Hawaii, Mexico and other parts of California. Holcombe Homes is well known for its signature style, but offers designs ranging from traditional to modern. The recipient of numerous accolades, Rancho Santa Fe Review readers voted Holcombe Homes a Silver Award in the Contractor category. Holcombe Homes has been voted best homebuilder/architect by Ranch & Coast readers for the past three years – 2012, 2011 and 2010. Holcombe Homes has been featured in Ranch & Coast, San Diego Home & Garden, and Veranda. The company has won several Lily awards from the Rancho Santa Fe Association, given for architecture and land improvements that exemplify the high artistic result decreed by the Covenant. Holcombe Homes can be reached at 858-756-2690. www.holcombehomes.com

‘BIG Breath Yoga Marathon’ benefit to be held Nov. 3 The BIG Breathe Yoga Marathon is an event like none other. With proceeds benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s on-going mission to cure and control cystic fibrosis, The BIG Breathe is the only event of its kind to draw attention specifically to the act of breathing through the practice of yoga. The collective experience of thousands of participants, over a continuous 12 hour period, promises to be both powerful and unforgettable. The BIG Breathe will take place on Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Mission Tower of the Del Mar Race-tracks, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event will feature five yoga studio partners, Masters Mark Whitwell and Tim Miller, each conducting an hour-long session, as well as a Sunrise Meditation, conducted by Davidji of the Chopra Center. Classes will be held in the Mission Tower ballroom and will offer a variety of themes. Participants will also enjoy a marketplace, and relaxation lounge. One day, one collective breath — to bring us closer to a cure for cystic fibrosis and to allow so many hopeful CF patients and their families the chance to finally exhale. For more information contact the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation office at 858-452-CURE (2873) or visit www.thebigbreathe.com.
