BY KAREN BILLING The Helen Woodward Animal Center is looking to add veterinary hospital to its long list of services to animals. While the center, which will turn 40 years old in 2012, has always had an independentlyrun vet hospital on site, the center has never run its own veterinary hospital. On Dec. 15, the center’s board will make a final decision on whether to run the veterinary hospital, which was upgraded last December. The plan is for Helen Woodward to operate the hospital potentially as soon as Jan. 1, employing high-quality vets and eventually become an after-hours emergency clinic for the community. The previous veterinary hospital, Rancho Santa Fe Veterinary Hospital, needed to move to a smaller space, paving the way for this unique business model. And while

Honor Flight San Diego gives veterans a special journey to the past
Tomb of the Unknown Changing of the Guard
BY MATT LIEBOWITZ The soldiers’ return to U.S. soil following the end of World War II has been romanticized in film and photos, most notably in the famous picture of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square in 1945. Dave Smith knows that a single photo, however immortalized, does not tell the real story. “People think of the kiss photographed in New York City, but most WWII veterans came home and went back to work—they didn’t really get any recognition,” said Smith, founder of the San Diego chapter of Honor Flight.
Smith is out to change that, one airline flight at a time. Since he co-founded the local San Diego chapter of the national Honor Flight Network last December, Smith and a team of volunteers have made it possible for 123 veterans from San Diego to fly to the nation’s capital to visit the National WWII Memorial. (While all veterans are eligible for Honor Flight’s service, top priority is given to senior veterans — such as World War II survivors and those veterans who may be ill.) See HONOR, page 26

Lawsuit challenges regional transportation plan BY CITY NEWS SERVICE SANDAG’s Regional Transportation Plan would increase sprawl and pollution and worsen climate change, while ignoring the need for public transit, according to a lawsuit filed Nov. 28 in San Diego. The lawsuit, filed by the Cleveland National Forest Foundation and the Center for Biological Diversity challenges the San Diego Association of Governments’ 2050 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. SANDAG, the first agency to develop a Regional Transportation Plan since enactment of the 2008 California law that requires such plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, declined to comment on the specifics of the suit. ``However, we stand by the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan, its Sustainable Communities Strategy, and their Environ-

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN An international team led by the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation and The Scripps Research Institute has discovered a family of chemical compounds that could lead to new anti- Lynne malarial drugs. Friedmann When a malaria-infected mosquito bites a person, the Plasmodium parasite enters the human body where it begins a complicated life cycle: first infecting liver cells, then entering red blood cells where it grows and multiplies eventually releasing toxins that cause illness and in severe cases death. Most antimalarial drugs are only effective during the parasite’s blood stage, and those that work in the liver have notable side effects. In the new study, researchers screened thousands of candidate compounds known to act against malaria parasites in the blood. Of these, 15 percent looked like they might also work in the liver. Researchers then identified the strongest drug-development candidates by mining the data for groups of related compounds that showed liver activity. This led to a cluster shown to be activity in both the blood and liver stages of the parasite. These compounds have the additional advantage of being chemically unrelated to current antimalarial drugs, and therefore less likely to face existing drug resistance. Findings appear in Science Express. News release at http://bit.ly/udJy7Q.

County wins ‘First 5’ Lawsuit A Fresno judge last week issued a ruling saying state leaders acted illegally when they attempted to take $1 billion from the California Children’s Trust Fund administered by First 5 County Commissions, including San Diego’s. San Diego County will keep $88.4 million. “We are delighted with the judge’s ruling in favor of the will of the voters and our children,” said Supervisor Pam-Slater Price, Chairwoman of the First 5 Commission of San Diego. “San Diego can now use this money wisely for the benefit of the region, and that is to address the local needs of the
children of our County.” The County of San Diego was one of 12 counties who joined in a lawsuit against the state, led by the First 5 Commission of Fresno, in response to its passage of AB 99 in April 2011. The case was heard in Fresno County. AB 99 authorized the raiding of the Children’s Trust Fund which comes from a tobacco tax and is administered by First 5 Commissions. Judge Debra Kazanjian ruled Nov. 21 the entire bill invalid and that transferring decision-making from local communities to the state legislature is inconsistent with
nosed or treated in time, KD can lead to irreversible heart damage. In surprising findings, an international team of scientists suggest that KD cases are linked to large-scale wind currents that track from Asia to Japan and also traverse the North Pacific. Because of seasonality of the disease in many regions (including San Diego), an international team including researchers from the UCSD School of Medicine, Rady Children’s Hospital, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, investigated a set of atmospheric and oceanographic measures, which revealed a link to pressure patterns and associated wind flow during the months prior to major KD epidemics in Japan in 1979, 1982, and 1986. Wind currents, which can cross the Pacific in less than one week, may explain why KD cases recorded in Japan, San Diego, and Hawaii show a nearly synchronized seasonal peak from November through March. The findings could aid efforts to isolate the cause of KD, which so far has eluded health officials. The paper appears in Scientific Reports. More information at http://bit.ly/sLwEd5.

RSF resident’s new book focuses on teaching children to safely interact with dogs BY JOE TASH Kimberly O’Hara’s Yorkie terrier, “Bugs Boodle,” has always proved to be a magnet for children when she takes him for a walk. What bothers the Rancho Santa Fe woman is that “so many children don’t ask if they can pet the dog. They don’t know how to interact with dogs.” The encounters with neighborhood children prompted O’Hara to do some online research into dog bites. “I noticed an issue and when I looked up the statistics, I was really shocked,” she said. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease control, 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, and more than 800,000 dog-bite victims require medical treatment. Children aged 5 to 9 are particularly at risk. O’Hara, an account manager for Hewlett-Packard, decided she wanted to help reduce the number of injuries caused by dog bites. The result is a children’s book published in November, “Bugs Boodle’s Book of Basics: Teaching Children to Interact with Dogs.” O’Hara published the book through Telemachus Press, and worked with a San Diego artist Jorge Pacheco, who provided the illustrations. The book is currently on Amazon. com as either a hard-cover or an e-book, and on the Barnes and Noble website. It will also be available on I-Tunes soon. A website, www.bugsboodle.com,should be running by the end of December, O’Hara said. Bugs Boodle is O’Hara’s first book, and she actually wrote it seven years ago. The time constraints of her fulltime job kept her from bringing the book to print, however, until this January, when she resolved to complete the project. O’Hara said she is constantly amazed by the number of dog-bite stories she hears when she talks to people about her book. “I’m hoping it does very well. There’s a huge market for it… and a serious need for it,” she said. O’Hara said the reinforcement of a children’s book that lays out simple, common-sense rules for interacting with
Author Kimberly O’Hara Photo/Jon Clark
dogs, in a rhyming format, may have more impact on children than admonitions from adults. The book begins, “There are some things you need to know, this book has rules that we can show. So ask your parents if it’s okay, if you see a dog and you want to play.” “Dogs’ parents want to keep pets safe. So make sure you ask first… and wait. And when you come to pet their pup, they want to know, you won’t pet rough.” Along with asking permission before petting a strange
dog, O’Hara said, kids should be taught not to disturb a dog that is sleeping or eating. O’Hara learned her lesson the hard way — as a child, she was bitten by a neighborhood dog. Locally, the San Diego County Department of Animal Services investigates more than 6,000 reported cases of dog bites and attacks each year, according to the agency’s website. Erin Short, a supervisor with the education department at the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe, said the center teaches children the ABC’s of meeting a new dog — “A” is for ask the owner and adult with you, “B” is for “be sniffed,” or allow the dog to smell you and “C” is for carefully pet the dog on its back, the safest spot for contact. “There are definite boundaries all children should learn, but there’s a fine line of not causing fear,” said Short. When parents exhibit fear of dogs, she said, children often pick up on it. “There are people who will run into traffic to avoid a dog so it affects their whole life,” Short said. Still, children need to learn when it is, and when it is not, okay to pet a dog. “Not every dog you meet is going to be like Fido at home. You can’t run up and hug every dog,” she said. The Helen Woodward center offers a program called Dog Smart that both helps adults and children overcome their fear of dogs, and teaches techniques for safe and proper interaction between dogs and humans. The program, which uses specially trained dogs, is so popular that it usually has a waiting list, Short said. The information in O’Hara’s book should prove helpful to local families, Short said. O’Hara, who owns three dogs, grew up in Ohio and has lived in Southern California since 1984. She is trained as an electrical engineer, and lives with her husband, T.J. (Terry) O’Hara, an author and political satirist. She said she has other ideas for future Bugs Boodle children’s books, but is keeping them under wraps for now.

Love that RSF Library: An interview with longtime employee Virginia Dewey 1. Q: How long have been employed by the RSF Library Guild? A: I have been working a the library for 31 years. 2. Q: What have been your responsibilities there? A: Upstairs, I have helped patrons at the Front Desk and re-shelved books. I am currently the chair of the Bookbuying Commit- Virginia Dewey tee for the Library Guild. We order all Guild books, as well as audio books, and replacements for lost materials. Right now we are responsible for providing almost all the new books and tapes at the library. I wrap all the Guild books, when they arrive, with our special gold bands, and type up cards and pockets for new books. In addition, I “undress” the books when they are moved out of circulation and bring them to
our Book Cellar to be sold. I also keep a record of all the Guild books, both in a card catalog, and on the computer. 3. Q: What is the biggest change that you’ve seen at the library in the years you have been here? A: I would have to say it’s the reduced number of patrons who come to the library. 4. Q: Tell us something about your family. A: I have seven children, one of whom lives with me now, and five grandchildren. 5. Q: What are some of your favorite pastimes? A: Reading, knitting, walking, taking care of my three dogs, and church work. If you haven’t seen Ginny at the front desk lately, it’s because she is working exclusively downstairs in the Library Guild office and Book Cellar. Please feel free to stop by and say hello to her there! — By Mary Liu

Dale Steffen and Jim Dyer each shot a hole in one on the same day, same hole at Morgan Run Club and Resort.
‘Eagle’ sightings! The Rancho Santa Fe birdman Dale Steffen spotted a pair of “Eagles” at Morgan Run Club and Resort on Nov. 9 around noon. Every Wednesday, at Morgan Run, 40-50 men meet for a 9 a.m. “choose up shot gun” start with prizes, lunch and a drink. This choose up has been going on for more than a quarter of a century. During the men’s club outing on Nov. 9, the unique sighting came on the north course and the third hole, a par 3, when the group leader, Jim Dyer, made an “Eagle” (hole in one) and wrote on the closest pin card “Jim Dyer ‘hole in one’ :) ” In the same tournament, a few holes later, Dale Steffen made an “Eagle” (hole in one) on the same hole — the same tournament, the same day! Morgan Run management honored the “Eagles” with eagle wings for all — or maybe they were chicken wings!

Torrey Pines Pop Warner Jr. Midget Cheerleaders win regionals and head to Florida Congratulations to the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Jr. Midget (Intermediate) Falcons! They cheered their way to another victory winning 1st place at the WESCON Regional Cheerleading Competition in Long Beach on Nov. 19. This huge win advances them to the Super Bowl of Cheer. They will join teams from all over the nation to compete in the Pop Warner National Cheerleading Competition held at Disney World in Orlando, Florida on Dec. 5-9. The competition routines are judged on a combination of cheering, tumbling, stunting (pyramids, basket tosses, etc.) motion technique, jumps and dance as well as overall appeal. The total routine time is two and a half minutes. Intermediate squads must
master complicated skills such as one-legged extended stunts, and advanced tumbling skills like back tucks and multiple back handsprings, and compete against very seasoned teams. “I couldn’t be more proud of our cheerleaders, said Head Coach Alicia Smith. “They’ve worked hard practicing since August and have earned this trip to Florida. We’ve overcome injuries and obstacles, but this amazing group of girls have the determination and desire to win. This will be a fun trip for the team and I know the girls will shine and hopefully bring home another big trophy.” Good Luck TPPW Jr. Midget Falcon Cheerleaders!

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. 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. 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. For more information, visit www.rhodesscholar.org.

Researchers shrink tumors and minimize side effects using tumor-homing peptide to deliver treatment The trouble with most anti-cancer therapies is that they are lethal to most cells in the body, not just cancer cells. As a result, patients experience side effects like nausea, increased susceptibility to infection, and increased risk of developing secondary cancers later in life. Researchers at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SanfordBurnham) are developing techniques to deliver cancer drugs directly to tumors, increasing their effectiveness and decreasing collateral damage. In a study published the week of Nov. 21 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, a team led by Michiko Fukuda, Ph.D., coupled a cancer drug to a small protein called IF7, which is specifically attracted to the blood vessels that feed tumors. When administered in a mouse model of human colon cancer, IF7 carried the drug directly to tumors, where it suppressed growth at low dosages and with no apparent side effects. These findings suggest that IF7 is an efficient drug delivery vehicle that could be further exploited to target a variety of anti-cancer therapeutics where they’re needed most, without harming other tissues. “We can cure terminal stage mice with very large tumors without any side effects simply by giving them this drug coupled with IF7,” said Fukuda, professor in SanfordBurnham’s National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Cancer Center and corresponding author of the study. Carbohydrates coat the surface of every cell in the body. They — and the proteins that bind them — play important roles in many cellular processes, including tumor formation and cancer metastasis. However, unlike genes or

proteins, carbohydrates are difficult to synthesize in the lab. To get around that hurdle, Fukuda and her team tested a collection of short proteins (called peptides) in the hopes of finding some that can mimic carbohydrates and inhibit carbohydrate-dependent metastasis. IF7 was one of the “winning” peptides. Upon further investigation, Dr. Fukuda’s team found that IF7 works because it binds annexin 1, a carbohydratebinding protein that is found in particularly high levels on the surfaces of blood vessels that feed tumors. In this study, the researchers coupled IF7 with a fluorescent probe and administered it to mice bearing human colon tumors. They watched as, within minutes, the probe lit up the tumors. Next, they coupled IF7 with SN-38, a potent anti-cancer drug. They also engineered the tumors to glow, so they could measure them after daily injections with IF7/SN-38. Tumors in treated mice shrank dramatically while tumor size in mocktreated mice was unchanged. It’s worth noting that the amount of SN-38 the mice received in this study was only one-seventh the amount a previous study used to treat tumors in mice. Perhaps for that reason, blood tests showed no signs of side effects in IF7/SN38-treated mice. “Although we tested colon tumors in this study, theoretically any tumor that induces expression of annexin 1 in blood vessels would work with this system—it just depends on what kind of drug it’s paired with,” said Minoru Fukuda, Ph.D., professor in SanfordBurnham’s National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Cancer Center and co-author of the study. Given its extremely specific tumor-targeting activity, the authors conclude that IF7 may represent a clinically relevant vehicle for anti-cancer drugs. Next, they hope to further prepare this technology for clinical trials in humans.

Orchestra Nova plans ‘The Magic of Music Gala’ Orchestra Nova’s new season is off to a very successful start, with sold-out performances for the first two concerts of the season, and they’re gearing up for their annual fundraiser event “The Magic of Music” on March 17, 2012, at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Chair Kathleen Davis and her committee of nine are hard at work to meet their goal of presenting a magical, black-tie evening of fun that will appeal to the orchestra’s long-time supporters, as well as to the young professionals who have recently become Nova supporters. Committee members are Shirley Corless, Barbara Daly, Aune Garcia, Erika Horn, Vicki Johnson, Pat Merino, Marsha Nunez, Erin Oleno and Jacki Taylor-Dwyer. The Magic of Music 2012 will honor Harry and Helen Miyahira who have been tireless advocates for the orchestra. Their involvement is representative of the enthusiasm and excitement for the orchestra’s innovative vision and ground-breaking music education programs under the leadership of artistic director and conductor Jung-Ho Pak. “Community involvement has always been key to the success of Orchestra Nova, formerly the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, and this event gives the community the opportunity to share a fantastic evening while supporting the orchestra,” says Kathleen Davis.

Canyon Crest Academy places first in national math contest Canyon Crest Academy recently placed first in the 2011 Team Scramble, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (www.natassessment.com). Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major team competition of the academic year, on which students worked furiously as the entire school raced to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics in just 30 minutes. With so many questions and so little time, competitors needed not only strong mathematical skills, but also the ability to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip. Because there was not nearly enough time for a single student to solve all of the problems, students collaborated to allocate the test questions amongst themselves and ensure that all questions were worked and double-checked.
Not resting on their laurels, Canyon Crest Academy will participate in National Assessment & Testing’s 2011 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 8 and the 2012 Four-byFour Competition on Feb. 2. Each of these contests features 10 rounds in which students have three minutes to answer problems, but the first requires students to work individually on three problems per round, while the second allows teams of four to tackle four problems in each round. National Assessment & Testing administers high-quality mathematics competitions that high schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests cover a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, as well as a variety of difficulties, from an easier 100 problems in 30 minutes to a more complicated 15 problems in one week.

Dan and Suzie Engel
Profile
Local couple helping hundreds of ‘special needs’ kids through the miracle of baseball in a field of dreams BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For Dan Engel, former Wall Street investment banker, the Miracle League of San Diego, was aptly named — in more ways than one. Dan and his wife, Suzie, co-founded the nonprofit organized baseball league for handicapped kids five years ago and for the past three years Dan has served as its president. Partnering with the
County Parks and Recreation Department and with the support of the San Diego Padres, the Engels converted a weed-infested field in San Dieguito Park into the first “Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible” ball field of its kind in Southern California — complete with a rubberized playing surface for the kids’ safety and their ease of running bases with a wheelchair or walker, an electronic scoreboard, a state-of-
Quick Facts Names: Dan and Suzie Engel Distinction: Dan and Suzie Engel are the co-founders of the Miracle League of San Diego, a nonprofit baseball league for children with physical and mental disabilities in the spring and fall. Now in its fifth year, it just completed its 10th season. Born: He: Los Angeles She: Worchester, Massachusetts Education: He: B.A. in economics from UCLA, 1983, and a joint M.B.A. in real estate and a law degree from UC Berkeley, 1986-87. She: B.A. in political science from the University of Pennsylvania, 1986. Family: Married “20-plus” years, they have two children, son, Sam, 17, and daughter, Jordan, 14, both students at Canyon Crest Academy. Current reading: He: “The Unincorporated Woman,” a science fiction novel, by Dani and Eytan Kollin. She: “Stumbling on Happiness,” by Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert. Favorite TV: He: “White Collar” and “Suits” She: “Breaking Bad” and “Sons of Anarchy” Favorite films: He: “North by Northwest” She: “Defending Your Life,” starring Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep. Favorite getaway: Maui Philosophy: He: “My ringtone: the Bobby McFerrin song: ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy.’ Another part of my philosophy really is you have to work hard for things. Things don’t come easy. If you work hard and persevere and you treat people with respect, good things happen in return.” She: “He’s a ‘glass half full’ guy. We complement each other.”
the-art PA (public address) system, bleacher-seating and a snack bar that serves hot dogs. At its core, it gives boys and girls with physical or mental disabilities the miracle experience of playing baseball as part of a team in an organized league on Saturdays, bringing together hundreds of players, parents, coaches, buddies, volunteers and fans. But, for Dan Engel, it’s also been a “spiritual” journey and a contributing factor in the medical “miracle” that has saved his life. Engel, 50, and bald after undergoing numerous variations of chemo, more than 10 surgeries and participating in a clinical trial of an experimental drug for combating melanoma, is a cancer survivor. He was first diagnosed 12 years ago. “I had Stage 4 melanoma while we were getting the field built,” he said, “and I’ve been in remission essentially since we opened [in 2007]. So it’s been a very spiritual place for me.” “Dan, with all his health issues,’ his wife Suzie said, “had a great attitude and we’re convinced that his attitude and Miracle [League] really gave him the boosts, mentally and physically, to keep him alive.” Dan credits Suzie, the varsity tennis coach at Westview High School, with coming up with the idea of creating a Miracle League here in San Diego after they watched a story on HBO’s Real Sports about the Miracle League organization, which was first formed in Georgia in 2000 and has since grown to 240 leagues nationwide. The Miracle League of San Diego was formed as a nonprofit in 2005 and the field was opened in May 2007, attracting 170 to 190 players annually. The concept behind Miracle League, Dan said, is: “Every child deserves a chance to play baseball. It’s as simple as that.” Dan was born in Los Angeles. Suzie was born in
Suzie and Dan Engel. Photo/Jon Clark Worchester, Mass., and was raised in San Diego. Both of their fathers were CPAs. They met in New York City where Dan was working with investment banker Salomon Bros. and Suzie was visiting from Los Angeles where she was employed as a financial assistant at Fox Broadcasting. Dan had a B.A. in economics from UCLA, and a joint M.B.A. in real estate and a law degree from UC Berkeley. Suzie (nee Schuman) had a B.A. in political science from the University of Pennsylvania. They married in 1991 after Dan was transferred by Salomon Bros. to Los Angeles, where he became senior vice president of the Goodtab Corporation (working as an investment banker specializing in real estate). He continued in the deal business with Onyx Partners and Gateway Partners until he was recruited by Applied Underwriters, Inc., of Omaha, in 2002 where he served as senior vice president of strategic planning and corporate development, helping to grow the company 500 percent over four years until it was purchased by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway in 2006. Dan subsequently opened a financial consul-
tancy in San Diego and is currently the CFO for a private client. Since 2008, he served as chairman of the board of the California Oncology Research Institute in Santa Monica. “I found a clinical trial for a drug that finally helped bring me into remission,” he said, “and, in March [of this year], it was the first drug approved for melanoma in 15 years and the only one proven to extend life.” While raising their two children, Suzie got more involved in sports, initially as an assistant athletics manager at the Manhattan Country Club in Manhattan Beach, as assistant tennis coach at Torrey Pines High School, and, since 2008, as varsity tennis coach at Westview High School in Rancho Peñasquitos. She served as president of the Miracle League of San Diego for two years. For Suzie, a moving moment she recalls was when, after the opening week of the first season, several parents came up them and said their kids were so excited they had worn their baseball hats and shirts to bed for a week in anticipation of next game on Saturday. “That was it for me,” she said. For Dan, one of the most moving moments was
a day at the Engel Family Field, a Little Padres Park, during the second season, when 4-year-old Kyle Wyeborney, who, because of a medical condition, was unable to walk without a walker, told his parents he wanted to walk on his own because of baseball. “On the very last day of the season,” Dan said, “Kyle got up to bat and it looked like he was struggling with his walker, but what really happened was his buddy removed the walker and Kyle started to walk. “I knew what was coming because his mom told me he was going to try it. He was struggling. It was hard. But he made his way down to first, made his way to second, and made his way to third. “At this point, everybody is on their feet, with tears in their eyes; then Kyle comes toward home to the biggest standing ovation you’ve ever seen….and I don’t know whether he tried to slide or just fell from exhaustion, but he landed face-first on home plate. There was not a dry eye anywhere. “It was just an incredible thing to witness.” Kyle is now 9 and still playing and walking. “He likes to play short-stop, and he says he wants to play in the Major Leagues,” Dan said. “We’ve now made a commitment to open a second field in South Bay, some time within a year and a half, if possible,” Dan revealed. “There is a huge need in San Diego. There are more than 35,000 with special needs in the county.” Dan looks at it this way: “Things don’t come easy. If you work hard and persevere and you treat people with respect, good things happen in return.” For more information, visit the Miracle League of San Diego Website: www. miracleleagueofsandiego.org The 2012 spring eightweek season will begin in March.

The music of the war years from 194145, born of passion, romance, sentimentality and bravado, told a story of a world in peril, of families torn apart, lovers lost but not forgotten, bravery, and patriotism with tunes like: I’ll Never Smile Again, American Patrol, The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B, I’ll Be Seeing You, Moonlight Serenade, A Train, Sentimental Journey, I Thought About You, Let’s Dance, and more.
It’s a concert not to be missed — seeped in history, nostalgia, holiday magic and just pure swinging fun.

Seewald sees the world one photo at a time Master photographer’s new exhibit opens in Del Mar Dec. 10 BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net
Climbing tall trees, sinking in mud or hanging off of bridges to get the right shot aren’t unusual experiences for Michael Seewald. On a recent trip to Vietnam, the photographer even dodged speeding cars to set up his tripod on a congested five-lane city street to capture the experience. Seewald, owner of Del Mar’s Michael Seewald Gallery in the Del Mar Plaza, will recount his journey through Vietnam — trip No. 57 and counting — on Dec. 10 by unveiling for the first time the images he took there. And although capturing that high-speed streetscape was somewhat of a suicide mission, he’s not even sure if he’ll choose that image for the exhibition. “For the first few months I can’t even look at my art because I remember too clearly the smells and the whole situation,” said 59-year-old Seewald, who has been a photographer since he was a teenager. “Just because I almost died falling off a tree to get a photo doesn’t make it a
good photo. What I had to go through is unimportant. The story behind it isn’t going to keep your eye in the photo.” Seewald’s 10-day trip to Vietnam directly followed a May exhibition in China, where he was invited to display his work at the renowned Yuan Xiaocen Art Museum in Kunming, China. He said the exhibit was possibly the first fine art photography exhibit the museum had hosted, and that photography is a relatively new form of art in the country as a whole. “It was a big thing to show photography in a museum,” he said, adding that viewers “really appreciated it.” “A lot of the top communist leaders were so excited they were calling up their friends all over China to come to the show,” Seewald said, “They were quite stunned and they treated me like a million dollars.” Seewald’s China trip happened to be sponsored by Audi — the car company completely covered his airfare, photo framing and housing.
But sponsorship is not a new concept for Seewald. He said he’s the only photographer in the world to have his own sponsorship program, in which his collectors buy photographs in advance at a discount rate to help pay for his global trips. He said he started with 25 sponsors who helped him travel to Iceland, and now his list of sponsors totals more than 300. The programs are unique in that sponsors put their confidence in Seewald and buy photographs before they are ever taken. “Some people come in and they love all my work and said they wouldn’t know which one to pick,” he said. “It actually makes it hard for me to sell when they can’t narrow it down, so that’s when I tell them about the sponsorship program.” One major sponsor of his Vietnam trip, wellknown molecular geneticist Charles Cantor, has bought upward of eight pieces at a time and had a big influence on the country Seewald chose to visit. “He said he loves Viet-

nam, and there are not a lot of places he hasn’t been,” Seewald said of Cantor, who’s head of La Jolla-based biotech company Sequenom. “If he says there’s a place he loves, I listen.” Seewald also said he was nervous when Cantor filled his home with photographs, as many people quit collecting at that point. “He said ‘Don’t worry, Seewald. I have plenty of halls at my corporation,’” Seewald said. Out of respect to his loyal stakeholders, Seewald said he doesn’t show his work to anyone — not even his mom — before it is revealed at an opening. He said he can, however, reveal one thing about his upcoming Vietnam exhibition — the show will contain “future award winners,” he said. Seewald’s photographs are diverse and span the world, however, each has a distinct style that is markedly his own — “well thought out compositional masterpieces,” he said, adding that he puts much time into each photo, seeking out the perfect locations and taking

Teens tutor refugee children from Burma BY DILLON LERACH, GUEST COLUMNIST
Teen Volunteers In Action (TVIA) is a service group of approximately 200 boys in grades 7 through 12. We participate in hands-on charitable events working with philanthropies that serve seniors, children, the homeless and hungry, the environment, special needs and other community organizations. I have gotten to know many worthy organizations up close and have been particularly moved by a refugee group we help in City Heights, the Karen refugees. As a member of TVIA’s Leadership Council, I coordinate tutoring every Tuesday and Thursday after school at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on Fairmont Avenue for a group of 70 Karen children who are sponsored by the United Nations and are new to this country. I also help plan activities to integrate them into life in the United States. The Karen is an ethnic minority group of three million from Burma who have been savagely attacked, along with eight other minority groups, by Burma’s brutal military dictatorship when they took power and changed the country’s name to Myanmar. More than 140,000 refugees, the largest refugee population in Southeast Asia, fled to Thailand and have lived in closed, crowded refugee camps for more than 20 years. Since 2007, the U.N. has sponsored Karen refugees from these camps to emigrate on humanitarian grounds to San Diego, Bakersfield, Buffalo and New York, as well as other cities in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe. The camps, where the children we tutor were born, have no electricity and are located in the jungle. This is obviously completely different from our urban and suburban environment. Imagine yourself taking a
plane for the first time, having to learn to use electricity and to cook with modern appliances. Imagine never having seen a car or a paved road. Imagine not speaking English and having to spend all day in a classroom in middle or high school. For the last three years, TVIA has welcomed the Karen teens and pre-teens. We took them to their first movie, the zoo, bowling, and organize an annual picnic in the park where we play soccer together. This year we will host our annual picnic on May 5. We will also help celebrate the Karen New Year in early January where we will watch our students perform their native dances and sample Karen food and delicacies. The heart of our program, however, is tutoring. These students need our help learning English and navigating their way through daily homework, because many parents are not available and resources at schools are limited. We provide tutoring every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday’s group has the younger students from grades two through six, and Thursday’s group has students from grades 7 through 12. Tutoring is open to students from any school. Volunteer teachers are available to help us tutor in reading and math and provide all the necessary materials. If you can read a storybook to a young child or help with reading or math at any level, you can tutor. A friend from Canyon Crest Academy has committed to weekly tutoring and is starting a tutoring program at her school. I encourage you to join us or to start a group at your school. It is extremely rewarding. Please contact me at dlerach@gmail. com if you are interested or if you have any questions. For more information about the Karen in San Diego, visit: www.karenrefu-

Help feed the hungry at CCA’s ‘Empty Bowls’ reception Dec. 7 BY DIANE Y. WELCH In a support of an international grassroots effort to stave off starvation, some students at Canyon Crest Academy are hoping that people will come to the school hungry on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m. That evening is the opening for CCA’s Dance Conservatory production of “The Green One,” a performance based on characters from the “Wizard of Oz.” Preempting the dance show, several CCA arts students – who have been busy crafting hand-thrown, glazed ceramic bowls – will not only share their artistry while catering to hungry show attendees, but also plan to raise funds to feed the hungry through a program of giving called Empty Bowls. Kelsey Kohler, a CCA senior, is heading up the pre-show reception. “People are invited to come and purchase some homemade soup in a hand-made bowl – with fresh bread – and hot tea in a hand-made mug for a low price of $15,” said Kelsey. “The money raised will be donated back into society to help feed the hungry, locally.” The Empty Bowls reception will take place in the school’s Raven’s Nest, a student cafe located a few steps from the Proscenium Theater where the dance performance is staged. According to Jacqueline Bergeron, the sculpture teacher at CCA who is overseeing the student effort, funds raised will benefit the San Diego Food Bank. Kelsey, founder and president of the school’s pottery club, has rallied her fellow potters to make bowls and mugs for Empty Bowls. From their first meeting in the fall, everyone was excited about this project, she said. The club has interfaced with those students responsible for the Raven’s Nest, who have begun a marketing and design campaign to make the project visible. Kelsey also started a Facebook page, EmptyBowlsCCA, to help spread the word wider than the reach of the school. “We have been cranking out bowls,” she said. “We are preparing for a lot of people.” There will be a variety of soups, as well as pasta available, said Bergeron. Bowls may be refilled with food, then when empty, rinsed out and taken home. Bowls not sold that evening will be available for purchase at the upcoming school’s Festival of the

Arts, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 10, from 3-8 p.m. Empty Bowls was originally created by The Imagine Render Group with the idea that potters, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls which are then filled with simple fare in exchange for a cash donation. The bowls become a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world, according to the organization’s website. Events have taken place across the United States and in at least a dozen other countries. Many millions of dollars have been raised and donated to hunger-fighting organizations. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity every day. Millions of people have lost their jobs during the most recent recession and the number of food stamp recipients has increased dramatically, notes the website.

RSF Village businesses offer variety of gifts, dining experiences this holiday season BY KAREN BILLING At the most recent Rancho Santa Fe Association meeting, board president Jack Queen encouraged RSF residents to “Shop the Village.” Inspired by Queen’s suggestion, we toured the Village shops and uncovered some great gifts that can be found as you wander through the Village streets and get into the holiday cheer by supporting local retail businesses. Country Squire Gifts & Linens is packed with options for many on your list. And shopping there couldn’t be cozier— chances are owner Peter Kraus Jenson will offer you a cup of coffee while you browse or a taste of their popular pepparkakor, Swedish gingerbread thins. Whether you’re shopping to set your own table or for a gift, Country Squire’s linen selection caters to a multitude of styles with its variety of napkins, placemats and napkin rings. The store carries the beautiful Table Art line by Michael Michaud. His pieces are inspired by nature in gold and copper from delicate leaf serving spoons to a unique herb trivet. Country Squire also has items from the Nambé line — one of its stylish wine coasters would be a great gift. For the collectible lover, there are music boxes styled to look like carousels and an old TV that can play 50 different songs. Byer’s Choice caroler figurines are also quite popular. For the children in your life, Country Squire would be a great spot to shop. One full room is devoted to kids’ books, games and puzzles — one fun one is called a “hug-a-puzzle,” a soft cat puzzle that when put together is a stuffed animal. Their selection of wood toys is nostalgic and delightfully non-digital. The store also carries plenty of adorable baby and toddler clothes, one-of-a-kind finds for parents and grandparents.

Plume has a full selection of boxed cards from lines like Kate Space and Crane & Co. For personalized holiday cards, you can pour through books of card options. Just be sure to give yourself about two weeks lead time for ordering. At Plume you can personalize everything from robes to cutting boards. Try putting monograms on their Reed & Barton wine glasses, ice buckets or decanters. Any combination would make a nice gift when paired with their selection of fun wine stoppers and openers. One silver opener is cheekily engraved with “One good turn deserves another.” Another idea is their Shoppy Chic reusable bags — going green
was never so stylish. The plastic reusable bags come in a variety of styles and colors. Stuff one with a gift card to Stump’s Village Market. Plume has a big selection of holiday-themed items such as ornaments, pens, mugs, mittens, reindeer eye glasses, candy cane striped pjs and knit baby booties that look like little penguins on babies’ feet. Plume carries the Michel line of soaps and room sprays in holiday scents like winter woods, peppermint and cranberry vanilla. The packaging is so beautiful they barely need to be wrapped to serve as a hostess gift. A knit frame by Cupcakes & Cartwheels is adorably unique and is perfect for displaying a family photo or a snap from a trip to visit Santa. Poinsettias or wreaths from Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts will help make any home more cheerful for the holidays. The florist also does a modern take on seasonal flowers with their Holiday Chic bouquet: a mix of roses, orchids and hydrangea in bold red and pale green with ornaments and sprays of pine needles comes in a ribbon-trimmed wooden box. For do-it-yourselfers, don’t forget the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club’s annual wreath-making event on Dec. 7 at 9:30 a.m. Participants are encouraged to make one wreath for themselves and one for donation to the RSF Senior Center. Do your gift antiquing at McNally Company Antiques or at the Country Friends Consignment Shop and to say it with diamonds, you can get a custom-designed piece at Rancho Santa Fe Estate and Fine Jewelry or one of the original microband bracelets at Martin Katz. While you stop in for your hot apple cider or cup of Joe from Caffe Positano, consider the gift of coffee and tea. Owner Tim Cusac roasts all of their coffee himself and a bag of Rancho Roast, Kona, organic Guatemalan Antigua or Ethiopian yirca would make any of your caffeinated friends happy. Coffee is available in
Above, bracelets from Celeste Boutique Below, a wine coaster at Country Squire Gifts & Linens
pound and half-pound bags. Republic of Tea tea bag tins or packets of Bellagio white chocolate hot cocoa mix would make excellent stocking stuffers, according to Positano’s Emily Richardson. Rancho Santa Fe Pharmacy and Spirit Shoppe is a great place to grab a bottle of wine and peppermint bark on your way to a holiday party but you can also find some pretty great gifts inside, too. For her there are the big selling Ahava line of hand creams and scrubs, pretty and sweet smelling Lollia candles and lotions, Vera Bradley folkloria line of travel purses, wallets and umbrellas and stocking stuffers like cute coin purses, head bands, jewel adorned bobby pins. Spoil the man in the
family with Caswell-Massey shaving kits. For wrapping, they have a huge selection of wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbons, gift tags and every color of tissue paper imaginable. The gift of fine art can be found at Timmons Galleries and if you shop late in the day on Thursday you can catch one of their live music and wine tasting events from 5:30-8:30 p.m. You’ll want to hit Celeste Boutique for the hip woman in your life. The boutique carries clothing from cocktail dresses to yoga pants, as well as amazing accessories. Celeste has costume fashion watches, statement necklaces and cuff bracelets—the liquid metal mesh bracelets are very popular. “We have very good prices,” said owner Celeste Johnson. “It’s high-end stuff but not high-end prices.” You can also grab fashionable fedoras, boots, purses and very unique, leather bejeweled iPad cases. Right next door to Celeste is Browtique, which specializes in blowouts, holiday updos and makeup for holiday parties. Consider a gift card for a waxing, facial, hair or special occasion make-up. A gift card for a Brazilian blowout from Studio Felando would be a welcome stocking stuffer, as would the gift of a Yuko straightening or keratin smoothing treatment from Style Salon. If going the gift card route, pick one of the Village restaurants (Thyme in the Ranch, Mille Fleurs, Pantry or Delicias) for a night out for your favorite couple or spring for a detailing for your favorite car enthusiast at Wax On Wax Off. Give back While on your shopping sojourn, take time to drop a gift into the Toys for Tots boxes located at several village offices as well as the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Station on El Apajo.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
RSF resident says device helps protect against radio frequency radiation
BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Holly Manion still has an analog meter on her home, despite SDG&E’s switchover to smart meters about a year and a half ago. “I won’t allow them to put a smart meter on my house,� said Manion, who has a note posted in a plastic baggie to keep it safe from weather that reads “No Smart Meter, Do not Install.� For those who already have smart meters and are concerned about radio frequency (RF) radiation, Manion has created a Smart Meter Shield to absorb, block and redirect the radiation that comes from the meters. SDG&E’s smart meters are digital readers that allow for two-way communication between the user and SDG&E. The meters record information daily and then it is sent to a data center for billing and customer service. It is SDG&E’s hope that the meters will help save customers energy and money, and SDG&E states on its website that no adverse short- or long-term health effects have been shown to occur from the radio frequency signals produced by
smart meters. According to SDG&E, the technology and products used comply with U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s guidelines for human exposure to RF energy. The meters operate in two ranges of frequencies: 900 megahertz (slightly above those used by cellular telephone carriers) and 2.4 gigahertz (where WiFi and many cordless phones operate). “These bands include the same FCC-approved frequencies that have been used for many years in other devices, such as baby monitors, remote-controlled toys and medical monitors,� SDG&E said. Manion cites the work of Kerry Crofton, the author of “Wireless Radiation Rescue,� who visited Rancho Santa Fe in January. Crofton contends that there is a question of whether federal guidelines are up to date — the guidelines were last updated in 1997 and with the many advances in technology since then, the standards could be inaccurate. Additionally, federal guidelines were based on a 200-pound male, not taking into account the effect on children
Rancho Santa Fe’s Holly Manion invented a Smart Meter Shield for SDG&E’s smart meters. Photo/Karen Billing
and only tested short-term exposure and thermal effects, according to Crofton. Unlike a cell phone network, the smart meters have no centralized antenna—every meter in the network connects with one another in a “mesh network.� “My real concern is the amount of RF radiation combines when all other smart meters are communicating,� Manion said, calling it “RF smog.� “Not only is your meter carrying information from your house but also others around you, more are radiating from your meter.� While research is still evolving about the effects of RF radiation, Manion goes completely wired over wireless—she uses dial-up Internet, uses her cell phone sparingly and on speaker away from her body, unplugs electronics when not in use, and has taken efforts in her home to block radiation’s effects. Exposure to RF radiation can cause several health problems depending on the exposure type and duration, including sleep disorders, heart irregularities, lack of energy and headaches, according to Crofton.
In May 2011, the World Health Organization declared that RF radiation could be a “possible human carcinogen,� the same class used for engine exhaust, lead and DDT. “When a smart meter is on your house and radiating, constantly pulsing, that’s really hurting us,� Manion said. “Would you sit in your living room if a car drove up to your window and was running exhaust fumes into your home all the time?� Manion’s shield comes in three parts: A focusing unit, a ring that goes around the glass part of the meter, a directional unit made of an aluminum composite that goes over the whole meter and redirects and absorbs radiation, and a grounding plane that sends radiation away from the source and into the ground. Once placed on the smart meter, the Smart Meter Shield does not prevent SDG&E employees from working on it—everything is attached with Velcro. “I tried to find a solution that works for everyone,� Manion said, Manion did extensive See DEVICE, page 22

RSF Attack Boys U-18 Green Nomads Tournament Champions Congratulations to Coach Malcolm Tovey and his Boys U-18 Green team for winning the Nomads Annual Thanksgiving Tournament. There were 32 teams in the U-18 Division, and the boys earned their ways to the finals by winning their bracket, which included the Blackhawks from Scottsdale, Ariz., the Antelope Valley Futbol Club, and the Utah Soccer Alliance. After both quarterfinal and semifinal wins, they advanced to the championship game, facing tough competition in the Chula Vista Aztecs Premier team. It was a hardfought, exciting game which ended in a 2-2 tie in regulation play. However, the RSF Attack team claimed victory by scoring a goal with only eight minutes remaining in double overtime, posting a final score of 3-2. Coach Malcolm Tovey and his U-18 Boys are to be congratulated for an incredible display of teamwork, skilled play, and outstanding sportsmanship. What a great way to end the Presidio League season!

Rancho Santa Fe Review her shields to the different sizes of meters used in different states. While Manion worries how long her “no smart meter” note will work, in November the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) granted an application filed by the Utility Consumers’ Action Network to direct SDG&E to file a smart meter opt-out proposal for customers. A similar smart meter opt-out proposal by PG&E is being reviewed by the CPUC—customers will be able to opt out but it will cost them more money.

Old Globe’s ‘Some Lovers’ set to enlighten, entertain, inspire BY DIANA SAENGER With music by Burt Bacharach and Steven Sater, and an inspirational Christmas story exploring the theme that there is no happier or worst time than what is now, “Some Lovers” may bring some magical moments you don’t want to miss. The world premiere of “Some Lovers,” is set for Nov. 26–Dec. 31 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre at The Old Globe in Balboa Park. Academy and Grammy Award-winning legend Bacharach teamed with Steven Sater (“Spring Awakening’s”) for this Christmas tale that takes place over 20 years and reimagines O. Henry’s classic “The Gift of the Magi.” “Burt has been such a huge influence on my life and the way I think … and memories growing up,” said actress Michelle Duffy (“Leap of Faith,” “Continental Divide”) who plays Molly. “He and Steven both are so hands on, in they’re in the room and working with all of us.” Will Frears directs the show (Broadway’s “Year Zero,” “Rainbow Kiss”; films “Coach,” “All Saints Day,” “Beloved”) and Denis Jones is the choreographer. The book and lyrics come from Tony and Grammy Award-winner Sater, with music supervi-
sion by Lon Hoyt. Jason Danieley (“Next to Normal,” “The Full Monty”) portrays Molly’s ex Ben. Other cast members include Jenni Barber as young Molly, and Andrew Mueller as young Ben. Duffy said the story reminds her of “Midnight in Paris.” “As actors, we’ve been figuring out the main storyline for how we go in and out of time, what the rules are for time travel, and when it’s magical and when it’s real,” she said. “The idea that maybe we were born in the wrong era or that everyone seems to think there was a better time than today can be tricky to display to an audience. “I just closed the play “Shooting Star” about exlovers stranded at an airport together who revisit the decisions they made based on bad information. I was surprised how much that play resonated with people. That theme is also very strong in this play based on Ben, a musician, who is going back through his life and looking at moments when he could have done something different.” This curtain rises on a Christmas Eve when estranged lovers Molly and Ben can’t help but recall happier times, an unforgettable favorite song, and special memories.

The plan would instead encourage more driving, leading to more air pollution, according to the lawsuit. SANDAG approved its $200 billion transportation plan last month. The agency is required to update its vision for regional transportation developments every four years.

But identifying the culprit genes is challenging using traditional experimental models. Instead, scientists devised an approach to successfully untangle the problem by first testing fruit flies for all
possible pair-wise genetic interactions that might disrupt the function of the simple, fluid-pumping fly heart. After candidates pairs were found, researchers tested the effects of increasing the levels of corresponding genes in the hearts of experimental mice. The findings appear in the online journal PLoS Genetics. News release at http:// bit.ly/sd6sZ5. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer.

Local couple shares husband’s breast cancer story BY JUDEE SEDLER This past January, my husband, Carl, found a lump in his right breast and immediately went to his doctor, Leila Rhodes, M.D. on La Jolla Blvd. She swiftly set up tests for him and in February he had a mastectomy of the right breast. Carl turned 85 years old on Oct. 12, and you’d never expect men to get this disease, plus a man at age, 84 at the time! Now, Carl is cancer free and didn’t require any radiation or chemo; he’s just on hormones for the next five years. Carl has had wonderful care by his surgeon, Dr. Cheryl Olson and his oncologist at Scripps, Dr. Sabina Wallach. Since there is such a low percentage of men affected by this disease, I thought the Rancho Santa Fe Review readers might want to hear about this. I felt the need to bring more attention to breast cancer, particularly when it hits home! Carl answers questions about his experience below: Question: When were you diagnosed? Answer: The middle of January 2011, I felt a lump in my right breast and mentioned to my wife, Judee. She urged me to see my primary doctor, which I did on Jan. 26. Dr. Rhodes sent me to Scripps for more tests and on Feb. 8 we received the diagnosis that it was cancer. What a shock to us — me with breast cancer? I’m 84 years old, and have breast cancer? When my wife originally called Scripps for the biopsy, they thought she was calling by mistake because the appointment was for a man, and she was transferred to another department for the test. She was persistent and said it was for me and I might have breast cancer, so they set the appointment for the biopsy. The diagnosis was stage 2, receptor positive cancer, (3.7 cm mass removed.) I’ve since turned 85 on Oct. 12. Q: What type of treatment did you receive?
Carl and Judee Sedler on his 85th birthday Oct. 12 I received a mastectomy on Feb 15, 2011 on my right breast, and two lymph nodes were removed to see if the cancer had spread, and it hadn’t! I continue to see both the surgeon and oncologist and they say I’m doing great. I did not require any chemo or radiation, but I’m taking estrogen therapy for five years. I have also had a mammogram for the left breast to be sure that cancer hasn’t affected the left breast. I have on-going visits with my surgeon and oncologist to check my progress. Q: Was there any one person/thing/routine that served as your rock during this time? If so, please describe. A: Yes, my wife, Judee. She was there with me and for me every step of the way. She was adamant that I needed to see the primary doctor pronto to see what’s going on, then scheduling my appointments, going with me, being there for my surgery, taking notes on follow-up appointments for us, and being my “nurse� at home. She made sure I fol-
lowed the routine set for me by my doctors to help with my recovery. I would call her “Nurse Ratched,� but I appreciated her help! We’ve been married almost 37 years and I know that she was there for me. I was back on the golf course by March 18 chipping and putting, and then soon back to my old routine of four days a week at the club. Q: How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles? I have good medical insurance through Blue Cross as well as Medicare. No, the insurance was wonderful and no impact on us at all. Q: Did this diagnosis impact your work? If so, how? Since I’ve been retired since 1985, the only affect was not being able to golf for that month. I was back chipping and putting and I’m now on the course full time. Q: Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known? Since breast cancer in men is at a low percentage, and not highly publicized like it is for women, my advice to men is to listen to your body, and intuition, and if you feel something strange, like the lump I found, get it checked out! Awareness of breast cancer for men needs more publicity. Everything you read is about women. Editor’s note: Judee has since joined up with Susan G. Komen, and she and Terri Davis chaired a Rally for the Cure at the San Diego Country Club on Oct. 18 to raise not only funds for cancer research but awareness to men being afflicted by this disease. Fourty-four women played in the tournament wearing their pink! “We raffled off more than 40 prizes, sold mulligans and miracle putts, and, of course, accepted checks from anyone who wanted to donate to the cause! “ she said.

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 www.rsfreview.com 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.

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 PHYLLIS PFEIFFER 2007 National Survey on Drug Use & Health), 20 percent of high school students nationwide Publisher have taken prescription drugs without consulting a doctor. One in three teens say there is LORINE WRIGHT nothing wrong with abusing prescription meds “every once in a while.” Every day 2,000 teens Executive Editor abuse prescription drugs for the first time. Where do teens get the prescription drugs? According to SAMHSA, more than 56 percent editor@sdranchcoastnews.com of teens report getting them free from family or friends; 8.9 percent bought them from a KAREN BILLING friend or family and 5.2 percent stole them from friends or family.

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.
Food crisis impacts San Diego holiday distributions; Donations needed Community Resource Center (CRC) has begun set up of the 29th Annual Holiday Baskets program at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and faces record demand amid critical lows in food supplies. “We collected and distributed 46 tons of food last year for Holiday Baskets and the need is already 10 percent over last year and growing,” says CRC Executive Director Laurin Pause. Holiday Baskets is the largest distribution of its kind in the county, and closed its registration after a record 1,550 households, equating to an estimated 7,000 individuals, enrolled. Sadly, an additional 650 families who asked for assistance will not be helped. “We are already beyond capacity, and the number of inquiries that continue to come in since we have closed registration is staggering,” reports Pause. “CRC is already looking into all additional food resources to help those families through what we know will be a tough winter. “This year, CRC stockpiles for the holidays are at an all-time and critical low. We’ve had so many families, children, and seniors coming to us for help throughout the year that we haven’t been able to set aside food for the holidays.”
Like many food distribution centers nationwide this year, CRC has had the added challenge of unprecedented delays and decreases in federal food allotments. “Our decrease was nearly 22 percent, and we only recently received our first and only FEMA allotment,” says Pause. CRC also runs a year-round self-sufficiency program that includes weekly food assistance to over 300 households in need in the North County region, and has been struggling to keep up with a growing population of those who literally face choosing between food and rent. More than 1,600 local volunteers and 200 groups and organizations are collecting and sorting donated food, blankets, outerwear, toys, bicycles, baby items, and much more for CRC’s annual Holiday Baskets program. The greatest focus is on food this year because of the shortfalls, and CRC is appealing to the public for help.

Guest column: An unforgettable day of inspiration at Canyon Crest Academy BY MAIA FERDMAN AND BRIAN DOYLE On Nov. 20, hundreds of high school students from all over San Diego County gathered together at Canyon Crest Academy with the simple intent to be inspired. Many had never heard of TED, let alone TEDxYouth@SanDiego. As the day unfolded, however, the students met speakers who told stories of hardship, success, and altruism. They enjoyed live performances by dancers, robots, and singers. They interacted with yoga, 3D chalk painting, technology, animal demonstrations, and each other. They began to realize that this “conference” was out of the ordinary, and nothing short of life changing. At first merely a vision of a few Canyon Crest Academy teachers and students, TEDxYouth@SanDiego embodied the idea that kids can accomplish big things. With the theme of “The World in Our Grasp,” the conference illustrated the diversity of not only the world, but also the ways in which to change it. The TEDx team ensured that from the moment the attendees received their invitations, they were part of the experience. Ever since the planning began in January, the arrival of the attendees was a highly anticipated event. Arriving on buses, attendees were greeted by “TED Friends” with red balloons. They followed the lively Canyon Crest Samba Corvo into the Proscenium Theater, and the day began. Each speaker brought a unique story and a provocative message to the stage. They included poet and CCA graduate Elliott Wobler, who began TEDx with a spoken word poem that told students to “rise up from age old slumber.” Adora Svitak, who published her own book at age 7 and spoke at TEDGlobal at age 12, pointed out that the words “naïve,” “impulsive,” and “inexperienced,” which adults so often use to describe children, are actually praise. These qualities make kids daring. They make them unafraid. Teenage entrepreneurs and visionaries such as Alec Loorz, Jason O’Neill, and Josh and Nina Church exemplified this. These teens, all under the age of 18, decided to put their ideas about the world and change into practice. Loorz vigorously challenged the idea that we, as a new generation, have to accept the status quo. O’Neill advised that there isn’t a need to follow any predetermined path from high school to college to a typical job. The Church siblings spoke about social entrepreneurships, and how life is about the little things we do every day that can add up to make a change. Seventeen year-old Patrick Ivison replayed his vivid life story with his service dog Kona by his side. He described his ability to surf and more recently, walk, despite a spinal cord injury and an entire life in a wheelchair. Ivison noted in his presentation that he “focuses on [his] ability, not [his] disability.” His story was yet another example of living life to its fullest, and of achieving what seems impossible. Co-founder of Invisible Children Jason Russell spoke about how “most of us are born to be anonymous extraordinaires.” He emphasized the importance of those behind the scenes that are “making the right choices.” Russell conveyed that everyone has the
capability of changing the world without being famous. In fact, anonymous extraordinaires are those who create the most change of all. As the day progressed, the room seemed to be bursting with energy. It reached a definite peak est, or even just following a dream. when ukulele (Above, right, on chalk art) Eliott Wobler, Tracy Lee During the breaks, students wrote their goals on an “In master Jake Stum, Patrick Ivison, Lee Coulter, Tim Stiven; (Above My Life Wall,” and many shared them with their peers at Shimabukuro left) TEDster CCA Youth Team.

This atmosphere did not merely happen by chance, either. It was a product of countless preliminary meetings, email correspondences, visions, and ideas that turned into realities. The final product was a level of professionalism and organization worthy of any adult conference. Passion was the driving force, the fuel behind these months of hard work. Every single member of the TEDx team, whether a student, a teacher, a parent, or a volunteer, was passionate about what they were doing. This passion then was transferred unto the day’s events, the attendees, and the speakers themselves. High school students contributed an enormous portion of the efforts that made this day a reality. The tech team, the MC’s, the artists who decorated the lobby, the ushers and the visionaries, were primarily in high school, and their capabilities surpassed those of many adults. TEDxYouth@SanDiego began as a vision of teacher Christopher Black, Jeannie Chufo and a few students. Black quoted Christopher Reeve the night before the event: “so many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” From the comfort of your home or office, anytime "HFOU 3FOUBMT t "OOPVODFNFOUT However, the inevitable would not have of the day or night, you can create a new classified happened without the dedication and hours *UFNT GPS 4BMF t 4FSWJDFT t 0CJUVBSJFT advertisement or maintain an existing one. of commitment on the parts of fellow teachFictitious Business Name Notices ers Robin Duncan, Kellie Dunkirk, Laura Krogh and Tim Stiven.

HONOR continued from page 1 The visit to Washington D.C., Smith said, goes far beyond merely visiting a historic site. It’s a chance for veterans to reclaim a part of their lives. “World War II vets are known for not talking about their experiences,” said Smith. He cited the cases of post-traumatic stress disorder many veterans face upon returning home from war, and said, “A lot of these guys have been carrying things. This is a way they can get together and actually talk about some of the things they haven’t been able to talk about.” The effects are felt long after the visit is over. Following the last flight, Smith received a letter of thanks from the wife of a WWII veteran; the trip allowed her and her husband to finally share the same bed again after 50 years of sleeping in separate rooms due to his sleeping difficulties brought on by disturbing memories of the war. “The trip allowed some memories to settle,” Smith said. In a three-day, twonight visit — Honor Flight covers 100 percent
Honor Flight San Diego Tour of Honor of the trip, including hotels and meals — the honored guests also tour the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Iwo Jima Memorials, and they take a guided tour of Washington D.C., including a stop at the famed Ford Theatre. For each trip, Honor Flight also obtains special permission to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, where, Smith said, sentries do a “hidden salute” to honor the WWII vets in attendance. “They do a little wig-
gle of the toe as they turn,” Smith said. “They only do that when they know World War II vets are there.” Smith started Honor Flight’s San Diego chapter after accompanying his father, a WWII veteran who participated in the 1944 Battle of Guam. “Just seeing the amount of impact it had” sparked Smith to take action. That action is crucial now, especially as the number of living WWII veterans continues to dwindle. “We’re losing these guys at a rate of about 1,000 per day. It’s very important to get them back [to the WWII Veterans
Memorial],” Smith said. Honor Flight San Diego plans to double its duty in its second year, sending at least 300 veterans to the D.C. memorials. If it can raise enough money, the group will begin chartering flights to help the roughly 1,200 WWII vets living in Southern California experience what one family member of an Honor Flight guest told Smith was “the best twoand-a-half days” of their life. The next flight is scheduled for May, and already there are 300 people on the waiting list. With the fundraising effort in full swing, Smith is com-

eas and surgery prep areas, whereas most hospitals have both in the same room. There are also two additional surgery rooms with observation windows for teaching, a designated dental area, two isolation areas to keep infectious cases like parvo (canine parvovirus) contained, a cat ward, and an avian and exotics ward. There’s even a room for natural healing treatments such as hydrotherapy, reiki and massage for animals recovering from
surgery. A small back room serves as a comfort/grief area for people who have lost a pet—“It can be hard to lose a pet,” Carter said, noting that those people have the option of leaving through a separate back door, without having to walk through the front of the facility. Carter said they are looking for about 10 veterinarians who are looking to practice high quality medicine without the headaches of owning their own office. An open house was held on Nov. 16 for prospective vets. “We want to make sure their standards of medicine are the same as the reputation of the center,” Carter said. “We’re look for good quality vets who want to practice medicine in a beautiful setting. This is a great hospital.” For more information, visit www.animalcenter.org.

was for a small animal hospital that would support the community, just as the equine hospital did,” said Dr. Patricia Carter, chief of staff. If the board gives its final approval, Carter and Eileen Beattie, director of administration, will be charged with bringing that vision to life, getting the veterinary hospital up and running to its best potential. “The goal is for it to serve the community and basically become a profit center for the rest of the areas of the Helen Woodward facility that are nonprofit,” Carter said. “It’s really going to be like a one-stop shop,” said Beattie. “It’s a winwin, giving back to the veterinary community we support and giving monetary resources to help the rest of the center’s programs and help find or-
phan animals new homes.” Carter and Beattie led a tour through the spacious and vacant hospital on Nov. 23. Off Helen Woodward Way, the hospital is attached to the new administration building that opened in April. The upgraded hospital is much larger than the old facility: 10,000 square feet versus the old 6,000 square feet. They now have nine exam rooms. The large back area has separate treatment ar-

Local father and sons produce children’s fantasy book ‘Nimpentoad’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING With their new fantasy book, one local family is ready to introduce young readers to a world of spiked and horned Rhinotaurs, goblins and a special little Nibling named Nimpentoad. The new book, “Nimpentoad,” was created by Henry Herz with his sons Josh and Harrison, and is aimed at children in kindergarten through third grade. “It’s cool to have a book that you wrote,” said Josh, a sixth grader. A book launch party will be held on Dec. 4 at Mysterious Galaxy Books (7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, 92111) at 12:30 p.m., followed by a book reading at the Carmel Valley Library on Dec. 13, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The Herzes will also take part in a book signing at Readers Inc. Books in La Mesa (8219 La Mesa Blvd, La Mesa) on Dec. 9 and 10 (during a holiday event that runs from 5-9 p.m.). “These guys are going to be busier than rock stars,” Henry said of their promotion schedule, which also includes readings in
their school classes and visits to local farmers markets, as well as keeping up their Nimpentoad Facebook and twitter pages. In the tale, Nimpentoad leads his tribe of Niblings through the Grunwald Forest, encountering creatures like goblins, Orcs, Rhinotaurs and Neebels. The Orcs are the meanest, Josh said, and the Niblings often get picked on because they’re the smallest and the weakest and don’t have any armor to defend themselves. The Niblings are on their way to see Goofus, a giant who’s often frustrated because of his size—his hands are too big to do things like wash his dishes
or turn the pages of his books that he loves to read. Nimpentoad and the Niblings realize that they can help Goofus out and, in turn, the giant may be able to help them. Josh said the book sends a message about the power of teamwork. “It’s also about finding ways to get out of challenges with quick thinking and also has a message of ‘Don’t be a bully’,” Henry said. The Herz brothers’ creativity started young. “When we were little, my brother and I came up with random words and Nimpentoad was one of them,” Josh said, who attributes the invention of Nimpentoad to little brother Harrison, a fourth grader. Both boys love to read and are big fans of “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” and anything in the “fantasy ecosystem.” The boys also have a history in entrepreneurship — they have several web-based businesses that include creating LEGO party favors, painted concrete yard sculptures, and custom cast bases for the online game
Local dad Henry Herz wrote ‘Nimpentoad’ with his sons Josh, left, and Harrison. “Warhammer.” “This is yet another fun project to work with them on, helping them develop good life skills, promoting the book, reading, writing and entrepreneurship,” said Henry, a longtime aficionado of the fantasy genre, who works as a management consultant and also teaches afterschool enrichment for elementary school children. “Having the kids involved makes it special.” While both loved working on the book project,
Josh said when he grows up his ideal job would be an architect. Harrison, who plays basketball for the Carmel Valley Stingrays, would like to be a professional basketball player. “If that doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll be a standup comedian.” Harrison said. Henry drafted the story with frequent feedback from his young co-writers. “It was just fun making silly words,” Josh said. The Herzes hired an illustrator to bring Grunwald
Forest and all its creatures to life and they love the results. Harrison said they didn’t want the drawings to be too scary but not to “kiddy” either. On the book cover, Nimpentoad stands on a knotted wood stump, his amber eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief with a fuzzy body, round belly and big troll-like fingers and toes. “The cover draws you in, it’s so detailed it makes you want to climb into the picture and go exploring,” Henry said. Henry used Createspace to publish the book and the trio was thrilled to hold the book in hand and to share the story of Nimpentoad with young readers. The Herzes are all ready to go onto book number two if the first one is popular. “Nimpentoad” is available online at www.nimpentoad.com for $12.95, as well as at Mysterious Books and Warwick’s Books in La Jolla.

Taste the best of both worlds when East meets West at The Inn BY KELLEY CARLSON xecutive Chef John Beriker brings a world of experience into the kitchen at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Growing up in the business since age 14, Beriker at one time worked with legendary chef Wolfgang Puck at Spago, and has served as executive chef at hotels in locations such as Singapore, Germany, Australia and Thailand. Subsequently, Beriker brings an “East meets West” flavor to his dishes. Managing Director Kerman Beriker (who is also John’s father) noted that the best quality ingredients are used and the food is 95 percent organic. “Be open-minded (about the menu),” Kerman suggested. The lunch and dinner menus vary, but among the starters on both are the Thai Vegetable Spring Roll, served with a sweet chili sauce; and The Inn’s Royce Salad (named for the owners) with Parmesan, avocado, bacon and buttermilk ranch dressing. Entree salads, burgers and sandwiches compose most of the lunch lineup — from the Organic Nicoise Ahi Tuna Salad to the Inn Burger (bacon, lettuce, tomato aged white cheddar and grilled red

the restaurant from others is that guests can enjoy their food anywhere on the picturesque property. There is a main dining room with red cushioned chairs surrounding tables draped with
white tablecloths, but choices abound. The adjacent library presents a cozy atmosphere, where guests can choose to dine near the fireplace and select a title to read, such as “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy or “Eat Pray Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s also a popular location for wine dinners and eight-course menus. Patrons can also warm up next to hearths in the bar (where locals enjoy watching sporting events on the TV) and on the patio, which gets plenty of shade from umbrellas stretching over the tables. Some guests take their food into the spacious nearby lobby and lounge on couches, often listening to Dan Troxell playing piano from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Others head outside the Spanish Colonial building to the floweraccented terrace during pleasant weather, getting an eyeful of the Rancho Santa Fe landscape. Kerman added that along with room service, the Inn’s restaurant provides delivery to nearby homes — complete with china and glassware. “(It’s) the same way we do delivery in a guest room,” he said. “Our goal is to offer the best quality and consistency and professional service.”

Music Director Steven Schick and Choral Director David Chase will lead the performing artists in Igor Stavinsky’s “Les Noces,” Gyorgi Ligeti’s “Poeme Symphonique,” Bela Bartok’s “Cantata Profana,” and the local premiere of David Lang’s “Grind to a Halt.” Joining LJS&C will be guest artists Lux Boreal dancers, red fish blue fish, Jessica Aszodi, Martha Jean Weaver, Chad Frisque and Phil Larson. In a press release advancing the show, LYS&C writes, “We will present two brilliant folk-tales from the early 20th century — Stravinky’s portrait of a folk wedding in pagan Russia (with four pianists, chamber choirs, and Lux Boreal dancers choreographed by UCSD’s Allyson Green) and Bartok’s magical story of nine young hunters transformed into wild stags and scored for orchestra and chorus.” Liget’s daring work features 100 metronomes, each at a different tempo, and Lang’s premiere has been described as “rambunctious.” A pre-concert lecture will be held one hour prior to each performance.

Book series by local kids helps children navigate life’s challenges BY KELLEY CARLSON Reflections Publishing, a Carmel Valley-based company, gives children a chance to shine while relating to their peers. The “Kids Helping Kids Through Books” series is written and illustrated by youths, addressing difficult life situations that others their age may face. Among the topics of these fictional stories are divorce, bullying, death and peer pressure. In addition, experts — including educators, child psychologists, religious scholars and therapists — provide advice for kids and parents on how to handle such situations in a section in the back of each book titled “4114U (Information For You!).” “The goal is that hopefully people will read these books before the situation occurs,” said Colleen Ster, president and publisher of Reflections Publishing. The local resident discovered a need for such literature through her discussions with educators over a 15-year period. During that time frame, Ster served as vice president for The Electronic Bookshelf for five years, instructing librarians and teachers how to use software programs, and was marketing director for Scholastic Reading Counts! in New York City for another five years. Ster asked educators what kind of books they were looking for and, time and again, they reported a desire for materials to help children navigate life’s challenges. In January 2009, Ster established Reflections Publishing, and created the
From left, Colleen Ster, publisher and author/illustrator of ‘Remind Me Again’; Caroline Ster, author of ‘Face 2 Face’; Skylar Sorkin, author of ‘Shining Through a Social Storm’; and Kiana Aryan, illustrator of ‘The Real Beauty,’ at the American Library Association Conference in San Diego in January. “Kids Helping Kids Through Books” series. “The point is to have kids relate to other kids through difficult life subjects, to open the door of communication,” she said. Any child is welcome to submit a manuscript; guidelines can be found on the company’s Web site: www. reflectionspublishing.com. So far, the average grade level of authors and illustrators has been seventh, and the majority are from Carmel Valley, but contributors have ranged from fifth-graders to high school seniors and live throughout North County. If a manuscript is accepted for publication, Ster arranges to meet with the writer and provides ideas on ways to improve the story and its character development. After changes are made, the manuscript is giv-
en to in-house copy editors. As the final step in the process, children attend workshops, where they promote and sell their work. Contributing youths and designated charities receive a percentage of the book sales, Ster said. At the “Read, Write and Draw” Workshops, which so far have been held at the Carmel Valley and Del Mar libraries, the young authors discuss their books and how they came up with the ideas, while the illustrators show the audience how they draw the front cover and chapter titles. The experts who contributed to the books also conduct question-and-answer session with parents and children. In addition, Reflections Publishing collects jeans at these workshops and donates them to the San Diego
Rescue Mission. More than 500 have been gathered so far. The company’s charitable work doesn’t stop with monetary and clothing donations; it has also given books to the San Diego Rescue Mission, the Women’s Resource Center in Oceanside, and to the first generation of college-bound students at a school in San Juan Capistrano. “A lot of (the young writers and illustrators) are involved with charity work on the side,” Ster said. “They’re good kids, and they want to make a difference.” Ster noted that the book writing and illustrating process is a learning experience for the youths, and that they will carry these skills throughout college and into their adult careers. It’s good for their self-es-
teem, she added. “I’ve been so proud of the kids,” Ster said. “They’ve taken such ownership (with these projects). They stand up straighter, talk louder and make eye contact. “It has been an empowering experience for me to be a part of an important social movement and impacting people’s lives,” said Skylar Sorkin, author of “Shining Through a Social Storm,” which addresses relational aggression and bullying. “To set a goal and accomplish it means a lot, especially in the process of writing a book. It takes commitment, determination, patience, faith and much more. I am very honored to become an author at such a young age, it means the world to me. Even better, my amazing parents have been there the whole time for me. By working together, I learned from their experiences to make mine even better! Colleen saw something unique in me and provided an unforgettable opportunity for me to become an author at such a young age!” Skylar’s mom, Linda Sorkin, was one of the experts who contributed to the book. “It was an honor and privilege being a part of the team behind Reflection Publishing’s ‘Kids Helping Kids’ project,” said Sorkin, a family therapist. “As a mother, it was amazing to observe my daughter’s hard work in authoring a book on a subject she is passionate about. As a professional, sharing my own wisdom and passion to make a difference in young lives is priceless. Participat-
ing as a mother-daughter team for RP has opened an exciting opportunity for us to support others in an empowering way.” Another parent who assisted his children with the writing process was Dave Franco, who wrote “Scars” — about peer pressure and consequences — with Julian and Noelle. “Working with Reflections Publishing to create ‘Scars’ was a joy, especially their terrific idea of making it a family affair,” Franco said. “My kids learned a lot about work and themselves in the process. Would I do it again? I was thinking of calling Colleen this week to see if we could start the process all over again. Both my kids and I would love it.” “Scars” and “Shining Through a Social Storm” are scheduled to be released Dec. 8, along with “Remind Me Again,” about the death of a grandparent. Other books currently available in the “Kids Helping Kids Through Books” series are “The Real Beauty,” about divorce and moving; and “Face 2 Face,” discussing bullying, peer abuse and cyberbullying. Books are available for purchase at Barnes & Noble (online and in store), Amazon.com and Follett Library Resources. Paperbacks retail for $16.95; the hardback version of “Remind Me Again” costs $24.95. Future books in the works address topics such as Alzheimer’s, changing schools, a car crash, self-esteem, adoption and ADD/ ADHD. All are due out in 2012, Ster said.

Author shares tall tales from her book on big waves BY PAT SHERMAN Bestselling author Susan Casey enthralled a sold-out crowd at the Birch Aquarium on Nov. 17, recounting years of harrowing research that went into her new book, “The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean.� Casey, who has written for Esquire and Sports Illustrated, and is current editorin-chief of O, The Oprah Magazine, followed American big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton and others to some of the planet’s most treacherous surfing destinations, from the deceivingly deadly Teahupo’o, off the coast of Tahiti, to Ghost Trees, at Pebble Beach. “What is more beautiful and more terrifying than the most extreme parts of the ocean?� said Casey, who also authored 2005’s “The Devil’s Teeth,� in which she explores the habits of great white sharks. “We seem to think that we control nature, and I think this is kind of nature setting us straight.� Out of all the waves she studied at close range, Casey said her favorite is “Jaws,� a deep-water reef break off the coast of Maui, where waves are said to reach heights of 120 feet. “To me what’s extremely interesting are the people who are willing to take that kind of risk out of sheer obsession and passion,� Casey said. “I found that all the waves kind of have personalities and were as much characters as the people that I was writing about.� Before writing her book, Casey pored through 400 years worth of shipping logs at British insurer Lloyd’s of London to gain insight into the mystery of the world’s disappearing tankers. “These very large ships

were being taken out at an astonishing clip by what they perceived to be really extreme and abnormal rogue waves,� she said. “They were getting taken out so fast that they weren’t even sending mayday calls.� However, not all the disappearances could be attributed to waves, Casey discovered. “My favorite story was a Greek ship that went down because it was carrying 2,000 sheep. The sheep got restless and all went to one side of the ship and capsized it.� Casey’s research actually began in La Jolla, where she first interviewed Scripps’ professor of Oceanography, Dr. Ken Melville. “It is really fitting for me to be at Scripps, because this is where I basically started this book in 2006,� she said. (Scripps Institution of Oceanography operates the Coastal Data and Information Program, an advanced system that monitors wave activity around the country.) Though Casey found unanimity rare among the scientists she interviewed, one constant she found was their heightened concern for
climate change and its effect on the ocean. “The most surprising thing I learned was how much climate change is affecting waves, and the likelihood that we’re heading for a stormier future,� Casey said. “We see the oceans rising; we see that there’s more energy in the system, more restless water. “I don’t hope that people read my book and come away scared of the ocean,� she said, “but I do feel as though we have to live in a way that we become more creative, more harmonious and more humble with the ocean.� Birch Aquarium member Sue Heleniak, who read the book in advance, said she felt Casey made a strong connection with the big-wave surfers profiled in her book. “She was very honest in her portrayal of these guys,� Heleniak said. “When they had a bad day, they had a bad day, just like any other human being.� For information about upcoming book readings and lectures at Birch Aquarium, visit aquarium.ucsd.edu or call (858) 534-3474.

Letter to the Editor: Victor Mature Turkey Shootout Results This world-renown tournament (well, maybe Village renown) was played at the RSF Golf Club. Yes Golf Club, we pride ourselves on not being a country club. We are golfers. The agony of defeat and the thrill of victory vibrated through the air. The full spectrum of emotions were felt. But to be more realistic it was the agony of an empty cup and the thrill Ally Wise of the long putt. Let me set the stage. Not a cloud in the sky, the two teams, RSF Pros and Outside Services, were dressed in their best golf duds. Amazingly spiked hair had grown over night on a once bald Pro. A sea of members were following along with encouragement. Dogs ran the course with reckless abandonment. Some fairways became football fields with long touchdown passes being caught. Eddie was pouring Bloody Marys to keep everyone warm in the chilling 50-degree weather. Silliness prevailed. Joggers on the paths watched with amazement to witness all the rules being broken. With certainly, I can tell you the best day at the RSF Golf Club is the Victor Mature Turkey Shootout. It is a dramatic, great golf watching, belly laughing day. The Pros take on Outside Service Crew. There is a serious financial side. There was one putt worth $3,000! Members chip in money for great golf prowess as part of the holiday celebration. There are required antics. One hole, the players have to hit the ball like Happy Gilmore while gobbling. One pro hit it 20 feet. La Granada looked like a driving range after all the running, gobbling golfers drove. Luckily, no windshields were broken...so we think. There is one pink ball for each team. To win at the end of 18 holes, you must still have the pink ball. On our signature 13th hole, the cute outside service team hit it into the water. As the pink ball sunk in the stream you could here the gasping from the spectators. The team never lost hope. With much enthusiasm, the team held up a 100 bill for anyone who would dive into the murky water inundated with balls and find the cherished pink ball. Within an instant, Will Appleby had stripped his clothes...appropriately...donned a scuba mask which he happen to have in his cart and did a swan dive into the bluish water resembling Tidy Bowl. In an instant to the crowd cheers, he rose from the muck with the coveted pink ball in his hand. The excitement was building. You could see fear in the eyes of our pro, Scott, who was the MC of the event. He knew he lost total control. The next day, Maui John commented that even though he benefited with the dramatic retrieving of the pink ball, he questioned if Will had an extra pink ball in his pocket in the beginning of the day. If so, more power to this college student. He will surely make it as a diver or entrepreneur. As the crowd grew and Bloody Mary’s were being poured stronger, much to everyone’s delight, Chef Larry arrive with pizzas. Even with a sell out crowd for Thanksgiving, Larry found the time to enjoy the day with us. I think he should be included in next year’s tournament. He certainly would add spice...get it? So after six hours flew by, the Pros won the 2011 coveted Turkey Shoot. And that is why they are the pros! I can tell you after attending numerous U.S. opens, PGA tournaments and the Masters, I would take this tournament over any of them. Well maybe not the Masters. Don’t miss it next year. You do not even have to be an
aficionado of golf just a good time. As my new cute husband, Gerry Harney, and I sat at our first Thanksgiving dinner as a married couple, we looked at the burnt turkey that had been roasting all day, dried out stuffing etc. We gazed into each other’s eyes and knew that the memory of this fun-filled day overshadowed this terrible dinner. Gerry will always refer to the Thanksgiving dinner 2011 as Turkey Jerky Thank you to our great staff for such a memorable day. It was the best. See you next year, Ally Wise... oops Ally Harney. Boy, name changes are so difficult to remember unless you are charging something! Ally Wise, Rancho Santa Fe

Concert to feature Italian holiday music from Cristina Fontanelli International singing star Cristina Fontanelli will perform a program of Italy’s best-loved songs, arias, Neapolitan and Christmas classics during her first San Diego “Christmas In Italy” concert, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at the Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr. The holiday concert is in its 8th year in New York City. For the show, Fontanelli will be accompanied by piano, mandolin, guitar and accordion to evoke the authentic Italian flavor of the music. The Italian Cultural Center of San Diego’s Children’s choir will join her as a way to accomplish her goal of preserving such musical gems for future generations. The San Diego program will also feature classical mandolin artist Chris Acquavella and guitarist Joe Amato. Called a “vocal genius” by the New York Sun, Fontanelli’s show is a love letter to her Italian heritage and a tribute to her grandparents, who kept their traditions alive in their new country. “I decided to begin this tradition of performing holiday favorites and well-known songs and arias because of my concern that Italian folk and classical music is quickly becoming a lost art,” she said in a video describing the program. Her repertoire will include works by Donizetti, Tosti, and Puccini, along with the classics “Torna A Surriento,” “Ave Maria,”

Isabella’s Giraffe Club and the Scripps Performing Arts Academy invite girls size 6x and 10 to experience the American Girl Fashion Show, scheduled to perform on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 2 p.m., and Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 2 p.m. at Irwin M.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Isabella’s Giraffe Club for UCSD Medical Center Infant Special Care Center. One-hundred local models will be selected to present the fashions, while lively commentary, music and decorations will create a memorable experience for girls and their families. “This is not a beauty contest. Every girl is beautiful inside and out. We need to match each girl with the doll they look like the most and the costume size that American Girl Programs send to us. It’s quite an undertaking,� according to Angela Amoroso, executive director and “Isabella’s Mommy.� To schedule your audition appointment and purchase tickets (a great holiday gift), please call Scripps Performing Arts at 858-586-7834.
SDSU Writers’ Conference set for Jan. 27-29 When Susan Messenger asked a friend who had attended the SDSU Writers’ Conference to describe the event, his response was “The Magic Conference.� Magic, indeed. Messenger went to the conference in 2010 and is now the proud author of “Keepers of Lost Cities� that will be released next fall. “I wasn’t expecting to have any agents request pages or to garner any attention. What I wanted was to see how they responded and see if they spotted any weaknesses or mistakes. That way I could maybe fix some of those problems before I sent it out and accumulated a gigantic stack of rejections,� Messenger said with a laugh. Success doesn’t necessarily come overnight, but it does come over time to numerous individuals such as Messenger who have attended the SDSU Writers’ Conference. Margaret Dilloway knows the feeling. She twice attended the SDSU Writers’ Conference and is author of “How to be An American Housewife,� which was published in the summer of 2010. “I count what I learned at the SDSU Writers’ Conference as critical to my development as a professional novelist,� said Dilloway, who already has made a deal with Putnam Books to write another novel. Will there be others following in the footsteps of Messenger and Dilloway after attending the 28th annual SDSU Writers’ Conference on Jan. 27-29 at the Doubletree Hotel in San Diego’s Mission Valley?
Based on experience, Dilloway would like to think so. “It was very helpful talking face-to-face with agents and editors at the SDSU Writers’ Conference,� she said. “It made everything seem more possible than the remote concept of sending something to New York City and hoping some invisible person sees it.� This annual conference, hosted by SDSU’s College of Extended Studies, is among the largest of its kind on the West Coast. It annually includes one-on-one consultations and hands-on editing assistance. Participants will learn ways to sharpen their writing skills and make connections with editors and agents of fiction, nonfiction, and screenwriting while learning how to publish in the traditional manner or on the Internet. Consultation appointments and advance reading appointments are also offered for $50 apiece before Jan. 3 and $60 after Jan. 3 (with some restrictions.) New this year is the fact that participants may book an unlimited amount of appointments with an editor. Cost for attending the conference is $399 before Jan. 3 or $435 after Jan. 3 and does not include consultation appointment or advance reading appointment fees. Times are Jan. 27 from 4-7:30 p.m., Jan. 28 from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., and Jan. 30 from 9 a.m.3:50 p.m. For complete information, visit www. neverstoplearning.net/writers/

Santa Fe Christian athletes earn D1 Scholarships
TVIA members (L-R) Hunter Phillips, Andrew Auerbach, two happy Komen 3-Day walkers who got their tents set up for them, TVIA members Nick Rhodes, Peter Lutz.
TVIA SD2 Boys Charity Group sets up tents for Susan G Komen 3-Day Walkers On Friday evening, Nov. 18, the young men’s leadership and philanthropic organization known as Teen Volunteers in Action set up tents for over 4,500 tired walkers participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure. TVIA SD-2 chapter is comprised of young men in grades 7-12 living in the Del Mar/Carmel Valley/Rancho Santa Fe/Solana Beach areas. This event was a big one for TVIA as 78 young men participated, as well as many of their family members and friends, which brought the volunteer number to 120. It was a special evening at Crown Point Shores in Pacific Beach, helping the tired walkers and seeing their grateful smiles after their tents were set up for them. If you would like more information on TVIA, please contact tviasandiego2@@gmail.com; www.tvia.org.
Three players from Santa Fe Christian’s baseball team have accepted scholarship offers to play baseball at the D1 level next fall. Shortstop and pitcher Bobby Zarubin has signed with Stanford University, which he chose because “It has the best combination of athletics, academics and location.” Zarubin continues, “Athletically, it was very beneficial for me to compete at the varsity level all four years in baseball.” Excelling both on the field an in the classroom, Zarubin credit’s Santa Fe’s dedicated teachers and challenging academic environment for providing the confidence and motivation to succeed. He gives a “shout out” to the baseball coaching staff “for being great role models and men of God who are always there for my teammates and me and for providing the opportunity and instruction to use my athletic ability to its’ full potential.” Top-notch pitching prospect Nolan Gannon will play baseball for San Diego State University next year. Gannon says he chose the school for the weather and the op-
portunity to play for Tony Gwynn. Bringing the heat with a low 90’s fastball, the 6’5”, 190 pound Gannon has always been ahead of the curve with his physical abilities and development. Nolan, who also plays first base, looks forward to living on his own and will use the “full ride” scholarship to SDSU to play hard on the field and explore all the opportunities the school has to offer. Senior Josh Estill has committed to Purdue. Looking forward to the challenge ahead, Estill will take his skills as catcher and third baseman to the Indiana Big Ten university. A three-year starter at Santa Fe, Estill batted .351 in the last season and joins Zarubin and Gannon as part of the strong senior nucleus for the Eagles this season. All three players have the distinction of being freshman starters for the Santa Fe team, which won the CIF San Diego Section V Championship title in 2011.

Orchestra Nova presents Masterpiece Messiah Dec. 8-10 Orchestra Nova San Diego’s Masterpiece Messiah has become a “must see” for San Diegans during the holidays, with its dramatic video presentation of great masterpieces of art complementing the music of the most famous of all oratorios, George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. Performances have traditionally sold out, so this year they are adding a new venue and bringing their unique performance to the Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church. The only performance of Handel’s Messiah by professional musicians in San Diego this holiday season will be performed in three venues on Dec. 8, 9, and 10, each at 7:30 p.m.: Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Bernardo; St. James by-theSea Episcopal Church in La Jolla; and Solana Beach Presbyterian Church in Solana Beach.

Seeing the foster children reunite with their birth mom or dad made me and the children from Kids Korps feel very happy! There was lots of food during the feast such as ham, turkey, stuffing, and cookies. The foster children and their parents sat at a table outside and were served deserts and drinks like lemonade and apple juice. Before the feast there were sports, face painting, and a craft. A couple of feet from the table, some of kids and an adult passed a football to each other. After a while, a couple of other kids joined the game and soon
they decided to start a football game. All age groups were invited to play and the game went on for a long time. After the feast was ready, the game was over and everyone stuffed themselves with food. Some entertainment at the feast was face painting and a craft which was making sock puppets. At the face painting table, children got their face painted with many things such as a spider, a smiley face, and a flower. At the crafts table, kids learned how to make sock puppets and were able to keep one. As a result, the feast was a day the foster children and Kids Korps members will never forget.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Your Family Matters: Keeping kids on track before the Holidays BY DR. KEITH KANNER Teachers will tell you that the greatest decline in school performance is actually between Thanksgiving and the Winter Holidays due to kids daydreaming about the festivities and not thinking much about Social Studies, so the parental encouragement factor is a pretty important element during this time. Chances are your kids were not in the best mood when they had to find their backpacks and go back to school after the Thanksgiving break. But, at this time of the year it’s more than just getting back into it, for another vacation is right around the corner and your kids know it. This is especially critical when your kids are in high school, when grades really do count, but the lessons for the younger kids are important this time of year, as well, for it helps them develop better tolerance of frustration and helps to develop a positive work ethic if parents handle this the right way. So, here’s what you parents need to do: 1. Empathize with your child that school is work but
Dr. Keith Kanner everyone is in the same boat. Even share with them that work right now is difficult for you because you want to also lose yourself in the holiday spirit. Kids often think they are the only ones suffering with the realities of school, but when they realize that their friends and parents are in the same position, it often lessens their grief and complaining. 2. Talk about the fun holidays ahead but emphasize that they will only be grand if they keep up on their schoolwork. Kids and goals go together. If the carrot of a great holiday is contingent on them pulling their weight at school, they will take it more seriously.
Santa likes good students, by the way, and can alter his list if someone forgets to turn in their homework. 3. Be on top of their responsibilities. During the next few weeks, be especially attentive to your child’s responsibility for their schoolwork. Check those planners and school websites and even send off an e-mail to their teacher making sure that all is going smoothly during this exciting period of time. Teachers always love invested parents. Balancing fun and work is ageless and teaching kids how to do this in the early years paves the way for an easier time in the years to come. Dr. Keith Kanner is host/ anchor - Your Family Matters WSRADIO; contributor to LifeChanger, Extra TV; a syndicated columnist; author of “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmas” (in press); board certified & licensed clinical child, adolescent, & adult psychologist & psychoanalyst; Assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine; National Board Member - KidsKorps USA; and a father of three great kids.
To your health: Plan ahead for diabetes-friendly holidays BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH The holiday season may be “the most wonderful time of the year” for celebrating with family and friends—but if you or your family members are among the 26 million Americans who have diabetes, the challenge of navigating holiday parties, meals and sweet treats can leave you feeling less than joyful. There’s no need to let diabetes get in the way of your festivities. What’s the key to enjoying the holidays and successfully managing your disease? Planning ahead. Start with your attitude. If you approach the holidays with worry and anxiety about what to eat and drink, change your focus. Think of the holidays as time spent with loved ones. There’s no rule that says your get-togethers always have to involve food. In San Diego, we are fortunate to be able to spend the holiday season outdoors. Go window-shopping at the malls, take a walk on the beach, or meet for coffee or tea. Have a strategy for parties and dinners. Avoid skipping meals on the day of the part in order to “save” calories or carbs for the feast later in the day; this can make it difficult to keep your blood glucose under control. In fact, consider having a healthy snack before you leave for the party. This helps keeps your hunger in check and reduces the likelihood of overeating. Also, think about which foods you really enjoy—especially those which are generally served only during the holidays. If cornbread stuffing is something you look forward to every year, pass on “everyday” carbs like dinner rolls or crackers. This can be especially helpful at buffets and potlucks. Survey the entire selection before you place anything on your plate, and decide what you truly want to have. If you plan to have dessert, compensate by cutting a carbohydrate from your main meal. Often, just a bite or two of a sweet food is all it takes to satisfy your taste buds. Share a dessert or ask for a small piece of pie. Remember, you can enjoy tastes of high-sug-
ar or high-carb treats as long as you don’t overdo it. The total amount you consume is more important to controlling your diabetes than individual items. One way to ensure you have a healthy dish available is to offer to bring one. Substitute low-fat ingredients for full-fat versions, and artificial sweeteners for sugar. (Be careful about using fruit puree instead of oil, as this adds carbohydrates.) Search online for diabetes-friendly versions of traditional favorites such as roasted autumn vegetables or pumpkin cheesecake. Keep your portion sizes reasonable, eat slowly, and focus on the smell, flavor and texture. You may find you enjoy your meal more, feel full sooner, and won’t want to go back for seconds. Planning ahead goes for drinks as well as food. Whether you’re toasting with champagne or drinking eggnog by the fire, remember to include those carbs and calories in your overall total, and keep a close eye on your blood glucose level. Another key to staying on track this time of year is getting plenty of exercise. The hectic pace of the season may make it more difficult to stick to an exercise routine, so schedule time for physical activity every day. Not only does it help control your weight and keep your heart healthy, exercise is an excellent antidote for seasonal stress. Create a support system of friends or relatives who have diabetes or who are simply trying to watch their weight. Plus, making a date with a friend for a walk or a game of tennis is a great way to get together when everyone is juggling holiday commitments. Need help planning for meals, travel or other holiday concerns? Talk to your physician or diabetes educator, especially if you have to adjust your medication times or amounts.

Ask the Plastic Surgeons BY WENDELL SMOOT, MD, REZA SADRIAN, MD, CAROL HOLLAN, MD AND JOHN SMOOT, MD Q. My complexion appears dull and uneven, plus I have sunspots and fine wrinkles developing; what treatments would you recommend? A. Fall is the perfect time to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate for a potential facial treatment to address the conditions you describe above. During this time of the year when the sun is less intense, a corrective laser treatment can revitalize the appearance of your face, neck and chest skin without the downtime of more invasive treatments. There are additional options such as laser collagen rejuvenation, which will also help diminish fine lines and improve skin on the facial area. Plastic surgery procedures do not address complexion issues and we often recommend a laser treatment to freshen facial skin, particularly in advance of the holiday season since there is little to no down time. There are several types of laser treatments that have a range of intensities and recovery times. Perhaps the most popular and less-invasive laser treatment is what we call IPL, short for Intense Pulsed Light. IPL or “photo facial” treatments are pulses of visible light that are applied to the face, neck and or chest area that visibly improve the signs of sun damage and aging. The result of the treatment is a more even skin tone with less pigmentation (dark spots), redness and decreased blood vessels (rosacea, flushing). Treated skin has a natural, more youthful appearance. Traditionally, you may be a good candidate for a photo facial if you have sun spots or sun damage and early facial aging, you suffer from rosacea and experience flushing and redness of the skin or if you want to improve your face, neck and or chest area but you don’t want the downtime associated with laser resurfacing or chemical peels. The IPL laser can also be very effective in treating the signs of aging on the hands and can be scheduled in addition to a photo facial. Each IPL treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes each and depending on the desired results, it can take from one to five treatments. There is no anesthesia required, and a mild degree of discomfort can be expected. If you are more sensitive to pain, a topical anesthetic can be placed on the skin’s surface for 15 to 30 minutes prior to the treatment. Collagen rejuvenation is another noninvasive laser treatment that softens fine lines and wrinkles and leaves the skin looking younger and smoother by stimulating the production of natural collagen in the skin. Clinical trials have shown increased levels of collagen by up to 85% following laser collagen rejuvenation. During treatments, you will feel a mild tingling sensation as the laser light is absorbed, similar to feeling sunlight touching your face. Each treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and will not leave any visible signs on the skin surface. Results can last anywhere from one to four months, which varies among each individual. 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 at their Laser and Skincare Center and can be reached at their offices on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 587-9850 or via the web at sandiegoplastiscurgeryclinic.com.
New ‘Titanic’ exhibition coming to SD Natural History Museum The San Diego Natural History Museum announced recently that it will host the hugely popular “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” in 2012, during the 100th anniversary year of the Ship’s sinking. This is the first time the Exhibition has been in San Diego and the first time in several years that it has been in southern California. The exhibition will open Feb. 10, 2012, and will be on view for seven months. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition allows guests to experience the legend of the Titanic like never before. “This is a rare opportunity to view these historic pieces in San Diego,” said Dr. Michael W. Hager, president and CEO of the San Diego Natural History Museum. “It took a monumental effort to recover the artifacts, including eight trips to the wreckage located 2.5 miles beneath the surface of the Atlantic. This exhibit combines that technical story with the human drama that makes the Titanic tragedy such a well-known event.” Visitors to the highly anticipated blockbuster exhibit will receive a replica boarding pass granting them permission to “board” the White Star Line’s R.M.S. Titanic, and from there the journey begins. The galleries focus on the legendary Titanic’s compelling human stories as best told through authentic artifacts recovered from the ocean floor and extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, even pieces of the Ship itself, and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered. Tickets for the exhibition, which includes general admission to the museum and 3D theater, will be $27 with discounts for children, students, seniors, military, and groups of ten or more. Tickets will also be discounted for Museum members. For more information visit www.sdnhm.org or call 877-946-7797.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Dr. He Said, She Said: What men can do to be better partners for their women
Dr. He 1. Treating the woman you love with respect is a sign or your own self-respect. If there are ways that you are unfair toward her or unkind toward her or act dishonorably toward your partner, see it as an indication of your own lack of self-worth--then do something about it! 2. Have the courage to tell her something that she might not want to hear because--if it’s your truth--she’ll respect you for taking the risk of saying something that she might have a different opinion about. 3. Learn the difference between expressing a feeling versus being judgmental. Underneath every judgment is a feeling, so communicate that feeling. Starting a sentence with, “I feel that you are.....” does NOT express a feeling. It’s just another way to deliver your judgment of her. Expressing a feeling sounds like, “I feel angry/sad/hurt/ scared/confused when you....” 4. Give her the benefit of the doubt.

When she says something hurtful--which will happen at times, unfortunately--do not assume that she is intentionally trying to hurt you. 5. Figure out what it means to think and act more like a “we” and less like a “me”. For example, asking her what she may need when she is stressed out is a way of showing her love and respect--as well as showing her that you are interested in her life and what makes her tick. Being a “me” kind of guy sends her the message that your needs are more important than what the relationship needs, which undermines the stability of the “team”. 6. Assume that whatever emotional immaturity you have is now officially an obstacle to your relationship with your wife. Participating in your relationship as an immature little boy and not as a mature, healthy adult man only compromises your marriage. Show up in your marriage by giving yourself permission to grow up into being the man you are here to be. 7. Hold her in your heart when you are by yourself out in the world by acting like a man who is part of a couple--even if she is not standing by your side. 8. Challenge your own comfort level by seeking to explore ways of being affectionate with her that do not have sex as the ultimate goal--and let her know that! 9. Be supportive of her need/desire to grow as a person. Her becoming happier with herself as a woman--even if it gets scary or confusing for you--will only help the relationship in the long run. 10. Do all of the above things because they will make you a better man on the planet. Do not do them to get her approval or because they will get her to love

By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. To follow up on our most recent column that looked at What Women Can Do to Be Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. Better Partners (Dr. He) and M’Lissa to Their Men, Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) here is the other side of the equation when it comes to creating a long term, healthy relationship:
you more. She will instinctively feel better about you and the relationship as you commit yourself to your own personal growth. Dr. She 1. Learn to show up emotionally--not our way--but in your own way. Despite myths, women are not good at reading your mind, so they need to know how you tick and what you need—which means that you need to know that about yourself as well. 2. Don’t be a little boy in the relationship. Unfortunately this can lead to a woman flipping into the mom role, which leads to micro-managing you. Yuk! Women are multi-taskers and juggle a lot of different balls at the same time in a way men don’t. However, instead of avoiding doing it “her way” find a way to bridge the gap so your partner gets the feeling that you are doing your part in a conscious manner. This can mean doing things that you know need to get done “for the team” without her having to ask you to do them. 3. If you are respectful, loving, and communicative in little bits throughout the day, women won’t need a lot more romance or foreplay when it comes to feeling ready for intimacy. If she is feeling love and respect streaming in consistently, she will feel the connection in her system and be much more available to share in the sexual piece of the relationship spontaneously. 4. Be reliable and dependable. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Women don’t really care if you need another hour at the office as long as you give them some advanced notice so that they can rearrange their own schedules. Communicating what is happening in your world that may have an impact on the relationship lets your woman know that you are considering her and that you value her time as well as your own. 5. There are times that women want you to be a sounding board for their story without you giving them advice. When a woman wants you to hear her, try to put yourself in her shoes for a moment and find a way to validate her— even if you would have handled the situation differently. Remember, you don’t have to agree with her, you just need

to understand her. Only offer solutions/advice if it is requested of you. 6. Don’t be a controlling father figure. This creates an unhealthy co-dependent relationship and speaks to something about your own personal fear of showing up as a partner who can be vulnerable in a relationship. 7. As Dr. He suggests… don’t be afraid to hurt your partner’s feelings with the truth. Women sense when you are keeping things from them or not being straight up. If you tip toe or lie, your partner won’t trust you, and she will start to feel crazy due to the discrepancy between her gut and what you are telling her. The last thing you want is a crazy woman on your hands! No matter how hard the truth is, it is the best choice and the one women trust. 8. If your partner wants/needs to have a conversation about the relationship—and you are not feeling in the right frame of mind—give her an alternative time that works for you and stick to it. It will be a more successful conversation if you are present and prepared to have a dialogue. 9. Appreciate your woman beyond her looks— for her intelligence, her creativity, and the many other abilities she possesses. If she feels seen and appreciated by you at a deeper level, you’ll be surprised what you will receive in return! 10. Don’t be threatened by her girlfriends. Encourage her to have her “girl time” because it is a necessary outlet for her to have and one that is difficult for you to provide. Her relationship and closeness with you is a completely unique experience—different than the one she shares with her girlfriends. Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) are a married couple who have worked together for over 14 years coaching troubled relationships to clearer communication, deeper intimacy, and healthier partnership.

Grauer School hosts film screening and visit by Jerusalem Peacemakers The Grauer School will host a visit by the Jerusalem Peacemakers Eliyahu McLean and Sheik Ghassan Manasra during the film screening of “Globalized Soul” on Tuesday, Dec. 6, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on the campus located at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas. The event is free and open to the public and is co-hosted by the Center for Global Awareness. Filmed in Australia, India, Israel, Morocco, Mexico, Turkey and the U.S., the motion picture explores the oneness at the center of the diversity of the world’s religions.

McLean is the Director of the Jerusalem Peacemakers, a network of religious leaders and grassroots peace-builders in the Jerusalem and the Holy Land. Manasra is the Director of the Islamic Cultural Center in Nazareth, a center promoting tolerance and interfaith dialog. According to Grauer School Outreach Coordinator Bill Harman, “The Grauer School has a unique connection to the Jerusalem Peacemakers dating back to 2008. It was during a Grauer School Expedition that year when we were first introduced to the organization while touring Jerusalem and Bethlehem. We were then reunited with members of the Peacemakers team during the 2010 Parliament of World Religions that took place in Melbourne, Australia. On this momentous occasion, several of the Grauer students in our delegation were able to recon-
