Music still a passion for former concert pianist, now 100

BY KAREN BILLING 100-year-old Gwen Given closes her eyes when the sound of music fills the room as the piano in the Emeritus community room is being played — her piano, which was a gift to the Carmel Valley senior center.

She listens to the notes and with a knowing smile identifies the composer: “Chopin.”

Gwen Given celebrated her 100th birthday on Nov. 29 and the former concert pianist can easily say that in all her 100 years, the gift of

music was the best she ever received.

“I love music,” said Given. “Music has always been a part of my life.”

Her most favorite piece of all time? Debussy’s “Clare de lune,” which pianist Lori Rittman played for an appreciative Given on her birthday.

At her birthday party, Gwen celebrated with family and then with the center residents, who were treated to champagne and birthday cake.

The conflict regarding use of Del Mar Shores Park has dragged on close to a year, and the Del Mar City Council hopes to finally resolve — at least until a more permanent city master plan is put in place — the issue on Jan. 9 with the implementation of off-leash hours to promote shared use between sports teams, dog owners and other park-goers.

After directing city staff on Oct. 17 to explore a plan put forth and funded by the Friends of Del Mar Parks, which would involve the erection of a fence around the baseball diamond, officials shifted their direction on Dec. 5. The majority of the council now supports moving forward with a shared-use approach that designates

off-leash hours for dog owners, and the idea of putting up a fence through the middle of the park is facing hesitance.

At the head of the conflict are Little Leaguers, who want to use the park almost daily with no interruption from dogs, and local dog owners, who have for years let their dogs run free in the park without a leash. Not excluded are the elderly and those with children or small dogs, who want to keep distance from larger dogs.

Del Mar Mayor Don Mosier said if there is not a willingness by all parties to compromise, then “the council will have to impose a plan that will not be subject to negotiation.”

Local resident now a U.S. presidential candidate

BY JOE TASH The newest candidate for president of the United States has never run for office before, is not affiliated with any political party and does not plan to spend money on lawn signs, bumper stickers or negative campaign ads.

Meet T.J. (Terry) O’Hara of Rancho Santa Fe, who wants your vote for president in the November 2012 election.

O’Hara, 59, spent 30 years in the business world, working as a CEO and corporate turnaround specialist.

He and his wife, Kimberly, live with their three dogs at the Morgan Run Club and Resort. From his home office, O’Hara spends his days reading voraciously and writing about national affairs, and he said he’s concluded T.J. O’Hara that the U.S. political system is broken.

CV family helps people in need globally through shoe donations

BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor On a recent Friday afternoon, a small package arrived at the Cleary household in Carmel Valley, sent from Lahaina, Hawaii.

Philip and Kimberly Cleary had an idea of what was inside. Kimberly eagerly opened the box while sitting at the kitchen table, and found three pairs of used shoes.

While it may seem to be an unusual type of item to receive in the mail, it made the Clearys smile. The footwear was meant for their nonprofit organization, Donate Your Old Shoes.

And Kimberly was grateful that someone was willing to spend $20 to ship their used shoes for a good cause, instead of dumping them in the trash.

“It’s amazing how many nice people there are in the world,” Kimberly said.

People from various parts of the globe have donated to the nonprofit, from as far away as Japan and Korea, and all around the United States.

And in turn, the shoes are sent to other countries — so far, adults and chil-

uted their old footwear, and they took some boxes to Nicaragua.

After a couple of trips, the couple decided to take the charity to the next level. Because two 50-pound pieces of checked baggage were permitted on flights to Nicaragua — which Philip was occasionally visiting due to his interest in buying real estate there — he went to Goodwill, bought suitcases and filled them with used footwear, much of which had been obtained through shoe drives. Philip then took them directly to the Central American country and distributed them.

Meanwhile, the organization’s popularity was catching on — a Web site had been established, donateyouroldshoes.org, and KPBS helped the nonprofit create a video.

“People found us on the Web site; we didn’t do any advertising,” Philip said.

The support came pouring in, and continues today, as the Clearys receive boxes daily. People spend an average of $25 to send their shoes to the nonprofit, sometimes paying as much as $50 — all because of their desire to support

dren in Nicaragua, the Philippines, Guinea, Liberia and Togo have benefited from others’ generosity.

The idea for collecting used shoes began during the Cleary family’s adventure trip to Nicaragua in 2006.

Philip and Kimberly — with their young children Mimi, Conway, Shea and Joe — chose to visit an orphanage in Managua.

“We wanted to show our kids that it’s not always about iPads and skateboards,” Kimberly said. “We wanted to show them what life was like (elsewhere).”

At the orphanage, the Clearys noted that the children had beds, some books and a few clothes, but they either didn’t have shoes or had mismatched pairs.

“It was sort of like an epiphany, like a light bulb went on,” Philip said.

Upon their return to the United States, the Clearys sought to establish a 501(c)(3) recognized charity to “put shoes on the shoeless worldwide.” Donate Your Old Shoes officially became accepted on Dec. 4, 2006.

In the beginning, the Clearys cleaned out their closets and friends contrib-

the cause. Many groups — such as the Boy Scouts, Rotary and even university organizations — hold shoe drives.

Donations are highest in January — after the holidays — and in September, after parents and their kids have finished their back-toschool shopping, Kimberly said.

Most of the shoes arrive directly at the Clearys’ home, where they are stored until there’s enough to fill a minivan, which takes around six months, Philip said. Occasionally, Kimberly said that local residents will see her car at the store and leave their bags of shoes next to it while she’s inside.

“I’m like Old Mother Hubbard,” she said with a laugh. “I’m known as the shoe lady of Carmel Valley.”

The collection is the easy part of running Donate Your Old Shoes, Philip said.

Kimberly, who does most of the “grunt work,” then takes the shoes to their 20-foot-deep space at Sorrento Valley Self Storage, where they get a special break on the rental fee — something the Clearys are SEE SHOES, PAGE 10

Cardiologist nationally honored for integrative medicine leadership

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN In her book, “The Healing Heart,” cardiologist Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder and medical director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla, writes: “On an evening when I was 8 years old, my vivacious forty-year-old mother told me she had a pain in her chest, then got into bed and died of a heart attack.”

The 8-year-old Mimi was alone with her mother at the time.

“Part of the reason I became a heart doctor was to overcome the powerlessness I felt ….”

To compound the hurt, as it turned out, a decade later, her father, a life insurance salesman by day and poet/comedian by night, also died of a heart attack when he was 50 — and Mimi was 17.

“When you go through those kinds of experiences in your life and you lose a lot of people at a young age, you learn what’s important — that it’s all about people, which is really why I practice the kind of medicine I practice…”

Another defining moment in her life, although she didn’t fully realize it at the time, came while she was interning at Cornell after just having graduated from medical school at the top of her class and thinking she was hot stuff.

She encountered an elderly doctor during the professor rounds who refused to be hurried as she and a flock of other interns followed him around as he chatted, joked, and patiently listened to the patients and their long-winded anecdotes.

She kept glancing at her watch, wanting to get on with more important tasks in her pressing schedule.

When he had finished, the old professor removed his glasses, peered solemnly at the interns and delivered this bit of advice: “If you let patients speak and tell you their stories, and you really listen, they’ll give you their diagnosis. But if you keep interrupting them and they don’t get to tell it, you’ll keep ordering tests and lab work and you’ll miss the answer that’s right in front of you.”

Last month, in New York City, not far from Brooklyn, Guarneri, now 52, was awarded the 2011 Bravewell Physician Leadership Award for making a significant contribution toward transforming the U.S. health care system through the use of integrative medicine.

She’ll be using the $100,000 award to support education and research for integrative medicine through a foundation she has formed called Miraglo.

We interviewed Dr. Guarneri in her office at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine.

She has an informal way of transmitting empathy vibes that tempts you to call her “Dr. Mimi.”

And yet, this is a woman who, during her career, went through a transformation from a self-described Type A, stressed-out, overachiever who “was trained to see the heart as a simple mechanical pump” to a physician whose patients taught her to appreciate the heart as a center of great complexity and power that deserves the best of nurturing.

Initially, as an attending physician in Scripps Clinic’s interventional cardiology program during the mid-1990s, Dr. Guarneri inserted thousands of coronary stents into heart patients.

Dr. Mimi Guarneri. Photo/Jon Clark “My job as a cardiologist was to sit in my office and wait for someone to have a heart attack, then rush in and try to save him…I spent my days propping open their arteries with metal sleeves called stents, without considering why they had closed in the first place.

“I think it’s great work, sometimes lifesaving work, but, at the same time, it does nothing to prevent heart disease. It’s a mechanical fix for a problem that’s already there, but it does nothing to get to the underlying cause.

“We started to do research here with Dr. Dean Ornish where we looked at whether lifestyle change could actually reverse plaque in vessels, reverse heart disease.”

The research discovered that people with severe coronary heart disease were able to stop or reverse it without the use of drugs or surgery by making comprehensive lifestyle changes.

The interventions used included stress management through yoga and meditation, a low-fat diet, smoking cessation, moderate exercise and social support.

“And when we were coming to the end of the research, the nurse of the program, Rauni King, and I saw such an impact on the patients that we thought, ‘How can we let a program like this go?’”

As a result, Guarneri and Rauni Prittinen King co-founded the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in 1999.

The center takes a “whole person” approach to treating disease, healing, and improving health by blending conventional Western medicine using the latest imaging technology for early disease detection along with evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, yoga and healing touch.

It focuses on designing customized plans to help patients manage chronic illness, reduce their risk for disease, and lead healthier, happier lives. An extensive class schedule includes a vegetarian cooking school, yoga and body-mind lectures.

Carmel Valley

OFF-LEASH continued from page 1 Mayor Carl Hilliard and Councilman Mark Filanc to expedite the process and address contention, will return to the council with a plan for a six-month trial period that will involve segregated times of use and a removable fence that can be put in place only during the month of February, when daylight hours are still sparse and baseball season picks up. This differs from the more expensive Little League-supported plan that Friends of Del Mar Parks previously suggested and offered to pay for, which involves the “extended use” of a fence.

They called this the “compromised plan.”

“I am sorry that the compromised solution is not the one favored by the council, but we want to do

the less expensive experiment first,” said Mosier. “I am sorry, but Little League is only a minor user of the park. They have some rights, but it’s a community park and I don’t think they can dictate the hours.”

Deputy Mayor Hilliard reminded the council that the only entity which does have priority over the park is the Winston School, because it prepaid more than $3 million to help purchase the Del Mar Shores property, bound by Camino Del Mar, Stratford Court and Ninth Street.

In a presentation to the council, Assistant City Manager Mark Delin showed that putting a fence through the park would interfere with the space used by the Winston School as a soccer field, because the field overlaps both the baseball diamond

and the suggested off-least area as proposed by the Friends of Del Mar Parks.

Delin also reported that representatives of the Little League have said that it will be very difficult to work with a plan that utilizes off-leash hours, because their practices are almost daily and start at 3:30 p.m.

A plan presented by community member Mark Tendal, which has a petition of 428 Del Mar residents to support it, suggested the implementation of both summer and winter hours. Summer hours would allow sports from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and off-leash users thereafter, and winter hours would allow sports from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with off-leash use from 4:30 p.m. until dusk. This plan

also involves the use of a temporary fence in February.

Tendal said sharing the park, as opposed to putting up a fence, will preserve the quaintness of the community and the open space the ocean-view park offers.

“Sharing works at hundreds of parks,” Tendal said. “It’s already been done. Other larger cities have already done the risk analysis and moved forward with shared plans.”

Deputy Mayor Carl said he visited Orpheus Dog Park in Encinitas, which specifies certain times when the park is available for off-lease use.

“It’s working up there,” he said.

The Encinitas park allows off-leash use on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays

and Sundays from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 3 to 8 p.m.

Hilliard said he is “not a big believer in fences.”

Furthermore, he said, Del Mar Shores park was not intended to be a dog park.

“This was intended to be a community park and everyone in the community should be able to use it,” he said.

Community member Penny Abell said she believes that the shared-use plan that dictates off-leash times and days “makes the most sense.”

Councilman Terry Sinnott said he thinks the dog area needs to be separated by a fence.

“I hate fences but I think we need to do it until we master plan the shores property,” Sinnott said. “I walked by Balboa

Park and they had a fenced dog area there … Because of the number of people that use it they have to fence it off.”

Larry Brooks, former president of the Del Mar Historical Society, shared a historical viewpoint on the issue. He said photos of Del Mar in its early years reveal that there was not a need for fences. Fences could not be found binding homes, businesses, nor the train station, he said. Historically significant walls like those in China and Berlin, as well as those dividing Israel and Palestine and Mexico and the United States have also proven to be ineffective, he argued.

“Fences are the antithesis of community,” Brooks said. “Is this really what we want to do with our park?”

CANDIDATE

come out and put the facts on the table.”

In his first media interview after announcing his candidacy on Nov. 30, O’Hara said, “We’re going to try to create a viral campaign (using) the Internet and social networking. I refer to it as relying on the First Amendment.”

He plans to accept campaign contributions of no more than $100 from citizens only, rather than from organizations such as political action committees, and will hold himself to a $100 contribution, he said.

O’Hara does not identify with any specific party platform. Some of his ideas,

such as a contention that the federal government has expanded beyond its Constitutional mandate, would probably sit well with such groups as the Tea Party. But his other positions on hotbutton issues might run counter to those of social conservatives.

For example, O’Hara said that while he supports comprehensive immigration reform, it would be “irrational” to suggest that all illegal immigrants in the U.S. be deported. Instead, he supports a path to citizenship for those who want and deserve it, and a path to deportation for those who don’t.

“I’m perplexed by some of the candidates in some debates who suggested they will build the equivalent of the Great Wall of China across our southern border,” he said.

Rather, he said, electronic surveillance and military deployments could be used to secure U.S. borders.

He opposes criminalization of abortion in favor of education programs. “I grew up when abortion was illegal and people still made that choice and people died because of it. By criminalizing the choice, we didn’t stop the behavior.”

And on the issue of job creation, he supports providing unused federal buildings rent-free to entrepreneurs, charities and trade schools as one way of supporting economic growth and government services without adding to the nation’s tax burden.

He suggested a 10 percent tax cut for businesses that expand their workforce

by 10 percent, and supports an overhaul of the tax code.

O’Hara has written three books: “The Left Isn’t Right,” “The Right is Wrong” and “The National Platform of Common Sense.” He also writes for the Washington Times Communities and a blog. (His website can be found at www.tjohara.com).

According to his bio, O’Hara grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, the grandson of immigrants from Italy and Ireland. His mother was a Democrat who worked as a comptroller for the telephone company and a homemaker, and his father was a Republican who worked in the newspaper industry and as a painting contractor.

O’Hara completed undergraduate studies and a law degree at the University of Cincinnati, and worked in business for most of his career. Since 2008, he has been a strategic consultant, political author, columnist and media personality, according to his bio.

As for his campaign, O’Hara said he is working on getting his name on state ballots, and launching a grass-roots effort in which people will share his website and message with their neighbors, co-workers and friends.

“If we get traction, the media will pay attention. As that builds, I think we become quote, unquote, newsworthy.”

“I actually like my chances if we have the ability to have fair representation,” he said.

“have become so distracted by the political process and winning that they aren’t performing their essential function… serving the people.”

The two major parties will spend some $1.5 billion on the 2012 presidential race between them, O’Hara said, a sum that could support 33,000 average American households for a year, or provide unemployment benefits for 98,000 people.

UCSD doctor climbs Kilimanjaro, aids Masai people of Kenya

BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH When you ask a question of Dr. Anna Kulidjian, orthopedic surgeon and chief of the Musculoskeletal Oncology Unit at the Moores Cancer Center in UCSD (University of California San Diego), you’ll find yourself intermittently asking her to repeat the answer.

The reason is not a lack of attention on the listener’s part. It’s not the slight accent that bares her Armenian roots. It’s just that Kulidjian answers with so much depth, detail and zeal that the listener sometimes has to hear it again to get it all.

Kulidjian pours her passion and prowess into the matter at hand, whether it’s her research at UCSD, her patients, her family, the environment, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or improving medical care for the Massai people of Kenya.

For Kulidjian, it’s not a question of her countless interests, though she has many.

She just believes that all of them are connected in a big, almost spiritual, way.

“I think that connectedness is what fascinates me,” she said. “In my profession, I’m just connecting people to different specialists. That abil-

Dr. Kulidjian plays with Massai children in Kenya.

ity to look at something and learn that it’s connected makes life so much fun.”

Kulidjian moved here three years ago to develop an oncology unit for treating and studying rare cancers and tumors of the bone and soft tissue. Because of the numerous types of tumors and cancers, including malignant sarcoma, affecting the specific tissues, the highest risk of each occurs at different ages, ranging from teenagers to senior citizens.

However, Kulidjian said the growths are so uncommon that they are often misdiagnosed, leading to incom-

plete procedures she calls “whoops” surgeries.

“The complexity of it, the variables, is what makes it so fascinating to study,” she said. “Research has shown that it requires a population of 3 million to generate one surgeon (in the field). And that’s not enough for a training center. By being so rare, the whole thing is to centralize the treatment. I interviewed at various centers but choose this center because of its reputation. The care we can give and the research we can do all made sense to me.”

The new unit has 11 staff members, including five spe-

cialists, that concentrate solely on the debilitating disease and serve the region from Irvine to the Mexican border and as far east as Las Vegas, Kulidjian said.

The doctor’s efforts to establish the unit earned her the Health Care Champions Award in the Health Care Staff category on Oct. 13 from the San Diego Business Journal, which recognizes achievements by local medical professionals and groups.

“To be among those people is truly an honor,” Kulidjian said. “I was surprised really to be recognized but it’s great to bring awareness.”

Kulidjian’s dogged determination in not merely a professional trait. This August, she and her husband, Ara, organized an expedition of five people to the top of the Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at 19,341 feet.

Kulidjian said the group climbed the legendary dormant volcano to raise funds to purchase an ambulance for the sole clinic serving the approximately 7,500 Massai people living on 250,000 acres on the Kenyan side of Kilimanjaro’s base.

An ardent environmentalist, Kulidjian said she learned about the Massai and

the clinic through an email about a program to preserve lions in the area.

Having previously donated her medical skills in the Dominican Republic when she lived on the East Coast, Kulidjian spent 10 days at the Massai clinic in 2010 to set up the trauma care, she said.

She witnessed their needs first-hand, recounting a story of a pregnant woman who walked one and a half days to the clinic while carrying her 1-year-old child.

The woman and child suffered such acute dehydration, Kulidjian said, that the woman had an infected kidney and both had to be airlifted to a hospital an hour away. It was through her first experience that Kulidjian conceived the idea to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

“The interest is there, so why not climb the mountain and raise awareness and funds?” Kulidjian said. “The simplicity and affordability and sustainability of solutions are quite astounding if you have one doctor (which they do).”

Though the goal was set, Kulidjian said she was unprepared for the hardships and splendor of the climb. In fact, she had never climbed a San

Diego peak beforehand, let alone the glaciers, crevices and narrow ledges of one of the world’s greatest mountains.

“I never even owned a backpack until I did this,” she said. “I did Torrey Pines and thought I was going to die. Like life, when we’re almost there, we tend to think we’re not going to make it and turn back. You just need to take those few extra steps.

My experience led to the realization that you can, that you need help to make it and at the end, there is this beauty that can change your life.”

Like many aspects of her life, the experience has become a passion and Kulidjian said she plans to summit Mount Ararat or Mount Fuji in the future. However, she hopes the life she leads provides an example to her greatest passion, her three children.

“I came back and felt the simple things are the most important,” she said. “A simple smile or a look in the eye.

I honestly do it because I have a lot of fun and I really want to teach my kids to learn about the bigger world and not just their own personal ones.”

When storage is full, the couple fill a 20-foot shipping container, and Philip lines up a collaborative partner who already has a container being shipped and adds the shoes to it.

Philip explained that it started to become difficult and expensive to take the shoes himself; for one, it cost more than $4,000 to send a container of shoes to Nicaragua.

And he was also encountering road blocks once he arrived in a foreign country with the footwear.

“We got through customs, and they wanted us to pay a duty,” Philip said.

“We told them it was for a humanitarian purpose, but

Philip’s job with Donate Your Old Shoes is to find collaborative partners and conduct background research to ensure that the shoes don’t end up on the black market.

“That would be our worst nightmare,” Philip said. “We’d rather keep the shoes and accumulate them than send them to someone we didn’t trust.”

Sometimes people or groups seek out Donate Your Old Shoes to aid the needy in their countries, Philip said. One example is the Organisation Sante Formation, or OSAFO, in Togo, which pays for the shipping of shoes to that country. In fact, OSAFO wants to establish a long-term relationship, Philip said.

“The shoes we’re collecting now are going to the (OSAFO) organization if they can raise the money,”

he said.

So far, the Clearys estimate that more than 30,000 pairs of shoes have been collected since the inception of Donate Your Old Shoes, and Philip said the next big goal is to reach 100,000.

“People get a kick out of knowing their shoes have a second life,” he said.

And Kimberly noted that it’s a way to recycle.

“It’s a fun organization and something easy to do,” Kimberly said. “It’s something good, and we like making people smile. We’re not asking for money.”

The Clearys also enjoy the fact that the nonprofit is small — they run it by themselves.

“We like the way it is right now — ma and pa (size),” Philip said.

how we relate to the world around us,” Guarneri said.

“And we believe that healing starts from within.”

Also located within the center is the Shiley Sport and Health Center that includes a weight room, a cardio exercise room, a 25-yard outdoor lap pool, and an outdoor running track.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Guarneri grew up in the tight-knit Italian immigrant neighborhood of Bensonhurst.

After her mother died, she was raised as her grandmother’s protégée and project, in the family’s small grocery store — “waiting on customers, slicing salami and stocking shelves.”

Before deciding to go into medicine, she earned a degree in English literature from New York University in 1981. Having also a love of science, she took a number of courses in bio-engineering, thinking she might go into medical research, but “I was so horrified by the amount of animal research that I witnessed, particularly on dogs, cats and monkeys, that I decided that was not something for me.”

Instead she applied to medical school and went on

to earn her medical degree from State University of New York (SUNY) in 1988 ; followed by her internship and residency in internal medicine at Cornell University Medical Center; and cardiology fellowships at New York University Medical Center, 1991-94, and Scripps Clinic, in 1994.

In the U.S. today, Guarneri said, $2.5 trillion is spent treating seven diseases — heart disease, diabetes, asthma, some cancers, hypertension, stoke and obesity.

“These are all preventable,” she insists. “Yet what we keep doing in health care is we play this game where we say: ‘Name it.

Blame it. Tame it.’

“In the last year, in the U.S., we have spent $308 billion on pharmaceutical therapies. We are consuming 48 percent of all the pharmaceuticals made for the entire world in North America. And we spent $14.6 billion on antipsychotic drugs, $10 billion on antidepressants, $13 billion on statins [to lower cholesterol], and $13 billion on proton-pump inhibitors [to reduce gastric acid].

“So basically what this tells me is that the United

States of America is psychotic, depressed with high cholesterol and has acid.

That’s the reality. And we can’t keep going like this.

“The planet is getting sicker and people are getting sicker. And we need to look at both of those.

They’re so connected. We’re all connected. And to me now, prevention is the best intervention.

“Prevention is going to be an economic strategy for the U.S.A. [less costly to prevent than to treat].We can’t keep pumping the food filled with partially hydrogenated fats and oils, high fructose corn syrup, and sugar and salt in everything, and expect people to get well. We have also to take responsibility. Just like you put your safety belt on, you have to take responsibility for what you eat, to exercise, to take care of the planet, and so on.”

Personally, Dr. Mimi has been a vegetarian since 1996. She exercises, meditates, gardens and walks her dog.

The good news, she says, is: “Integrative medicine is emerging nationwide as a vital force within hospitals, clinics and even the military.”

Unique hub for stem cell research opens doors in LJ

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN La Jolla, already in the vanguard of scientific research, has become the hub of San Diego’s stem cell research community with the dedication of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM).

The four-story structure on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive contains 150,700 square feet of space designed to support both focused individual and collaborative team research.

SCRM is a consortium of five research institutions on Torrey Pines Mesa: Salk Institute for Biological Studies, The Scripps Research Institute, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, University of California, San Diego, and La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology.

Scientists from the collaborating institutes will focus on basic science as well as pursue projects to invent tools and technologies to advance stem cell research with the ultimate goal to discover and develop innovative diagnostics and therapies for chronic disease and injury.

Despite the building’s imposing size and science focus, the nonprofit SCRM is not a sixth research institute on the Mesa.

Nothing duplicated “We are not duplicating anything that already exists in partner organizations,” Edward Holmes, president and CEO of the nonprofit Consortium.

Rather, SCRM is a collaborative laboratory space where biologists, ethicists, physicians, mathematicians, computational scientists, and engineers will work together under one roof with the aim to speed stem cell research and its translation to the clinic.

“There is ‘something in the water’ that has made this area a more collaborative community,” said Holmes.

Nicknamed the “Collaboratory,” SCRM is the only site in California where five institutions have joined forces to create a research facility supported by Proposition 71, the stem cell research ballot measure approved by state voters in 2004. When movein is complete later this month, 330 re-

searchers and associated staff will take up residence.

Researchers’ rights The Consortium will hold no intellectual property rights or interests in discoveries, new techniques or therapies developed at SCRM. Researchers will retain those rights in accordance with patent law and the policies and procedures of their respective employer institutions.

Designed by Fentress Architects of Denver, in association with Davis Davis Architects of San Diego, and Jacobs Consultancy, SCRM features offices, open labs, and specialized lab cores with advanced imaging, stateof-the-art robotics, and protein and nucleic acid analysis facilities. Two-story break rooms interconnect on all floors, encouraging collegiality and unplanned “creative collisions” among researchers from various disciplines.

“You cannot get from point A to point B without walking through someone’s space,” said Larry Goldstein, Ph.D., director of the UCSD Stem Cell Research Program and chair of the Sanford Consortium’s Scientific Steering Committee.

Writing on the walls Wall surfaces throughout the building can be written upon, thus, ideas can be captured when and where they occur.

Other major members of the construction development team included general contractor Hensel Phelps Construction Co. of San Diego; engineering firms Hope Engi-

neering, Project Design Consultants and Exp, all of San Diego; and landscape architect Civitas Inc. of Denver.

The cast-in-place concrete structure, with adjoining conference center and café, features the latest sustainability innovations and is on track to achieve LEED Gold Certification. Natural daylight is optimized by opening spaces to views. The design also takes advantage of San Diego’s Mediterranean climate and ocean breezes to lower utility bills and improve the quality of the workspaces. Landscape design features include recycled and salvaged material used as part of a rainwater capture system and a water conservation strategy that eliminates any need for potable water for irrigation.

Collaborative funding The $127 million center was funded in part with a $43 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state agency created to disburse $3 billion from Prop 71. The project also received a $30 million donation from T. Denny Sanford, for whom the Consortium is named. The Sioux Falls, S.D., philanthropist lives also has a home here.

“If you want your philanthropy to have the greatest impact on society, you can make no better investment than funding basic research in the life sciences,” said Sanford. “And there is no better place to make that investment than here in San Diego and La Jolla.”

At the building dedication ceremony, speakers acknowledged the important role that the community and patient advocates have played in bringing SCRM to fruition.

“If you look over the specs for this building, you will see that it provides 150,000 square feet of physical space. As pa-

tient advocates, we see something more,” said Lorraine Stiehl, CIRM Patient Advocate Coordinator. “We see 150,000 square feet of hope.”

Meeting of minds Twenty-four hours after its dedication, the SCRM conference center was front and center as one of two venues for Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa. Now in its sixth year, the two-day gathering featured a nationally recognized scientific symposium of leading stem cell scientists and researchers reporting on advances in the fields.

Ultimately bringing stem cell research to the clinic will involve overcoming scientific challenges as well as regulatory and reimbursement hurdles. As stem cell discoveries are translated into marketable therapies, businesses in the area will also expand. With that in mind, this year’s Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa included a first-ever Investor and Partnering Forum exclusively for regenerative medicine. Business, academic researchers, and investors from around the world met in one-on-one meetings to explore strategic partnering. Attendees also heard panel presentations from experts on commercialization, regulatory, access to finance, business models, and reimbursement issues.

“The horizon we see is near-term and incredibly bright,” said Greg Lucier, chairman and CEO of Carlsbad-based Life Technologies, a provider of systems, biological reagents and services for the research community worldwide.

CVMS Advanced Acting/Drama students shine in two full-length fall productions

BY SUSAN FARESE Decisions…decisions! What does Carmel Valley Middle School Drama Program Director Katrina Peterson do with her cadre of enthusiastic 8th grade Advanced Acting students who unanimously choose to perform in not one but two fulllength, uncut, student-run fall productions (a musical and a comedy)? She complies!

Under the direction of Mrs. Peterson, these 25 eager CVMS Advanced Acting students, along with a handful of 7th grade ensemble members who had to audition for their parts, rehearsed throughout the past two months during and after school and ultimately performed “13: A New Musical” and also the comedy “Get Smart.” The performances occurred on alternate evenings from Nov. 15-18 to several sold out audiences at the Performing Arts Center at Carmel Valley Middle School. With the support of CVMS faculty, staff and administration, as well as parents of the students and former drama students, the shows brought musical theatre and comedic moments galore.

Based on the Broadway show “13! The Musical”, the music and lyrics of the CVMS production of “13: A New Musical” were written by Jason Robert Brown, with book written by Dan Elish and Robert Horn. “Get Smart” was adapted by Christopher Sergel from the series by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry.

Mrs. Peterson’s Drama program 7th and 8th grade students were very resourceful multi-taskers as well as actors. They included student directors, stage, light, props and sound crews, plus set construction and costume design/procurement crews.

The cast also choreographed several scenes in “13”, with additional choreography from CVMS parent, Susan Farese, SAG/ AFTRA, for a few of the larger scale musical numbers. Additionally, the CVMS drama students volunteered to collect tickets and greet patrons, and/or sell concessions and raffle tickets.

The productions were photographed by CVMS parents Jennifer Fry, Simone Camilleri and Karen Swanson. Tom Vendafreddo, an MFA candidate in Musical Theatre at SDSU, provided musical accompaniment. Dee Humphrey assisted with costuming. Torrey Pines High School Student Maya Pilevsky and her crew shot the video footage which is available for each show. If interested contact anotherhiddenstar@gmail. com for more DVD information.

To benefit the Drama Program, in addition to ticket and concession sales, CVMS parents Jennifer Fry and Susan Farese coordinated and held a silent auction along with raffle prizes each evening to raise about $700 in additional funds. Special thanks to our generous donors from the Carmel Valley business and CVMS community: Beauty Bundles, Daphne’s, The Dry Bar, Taverna Blu, Urban Plates, Red Robin, Sculpt Fusion Yoga, Einstein Brothers Bagels, Rubio’s, Torrey Hills Family Dentisty, Souplantation, as well as the The Fry, Camilleri and Farese families at CVMS.

Week in Sports: Cathedral football team wins fifth title

BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: Cathedral Catholic won its fifth consecutive San Diego Section Division III title in dominant fashion, as the Dons trounced Olympian 41-0 in the Dec. 5 championship game at Qualcomm Stadium.

The Dons extended their winning streak to 10 games, a run that started after they experienced a 48-14 Week 3 loss to Helix on Sept. 16, their most lopsided loss in more than

six seasons.

They improved their overall record to 11-1 and have a chance to play for a state championship.

The Dons won’t know if they’ve been selected to the Dec. 15-16 state bowl at Home Depot Center in Carson until early next week.

They’re not a team anybody in their right mind would want to face right now.

Since the Helix game, the Dons have outscored

their opponents by a stunning 323-22, allowing just two touchdowns over that stretch.

It was more of the same in the title game.

Quarterback Garrett Bogart had a career game, completing 10 of 15 pass attempts for 263 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Brian Heinz caught four passes – all for touchdowns – for 123 yards, and Andrew Pascale had two receptions

for 108 yards with one touchdown grab.

J.J. Stavola led the Dons’ ground game, rushing for 84 yards on 19 carries.

Brady Aiken was two for two passing for the Dons for 18 yards and one touchdown.

The Dons took a 7-0 lead early in the game on Bogart’s 26-yard scoring pass to Heinz. Bogart completed a 76-yard touchdown pass to Heinz in the second quarter that made it 13-0, and

Parker Price returned a punt 57 yards for a touchdown to give the Dons a 20-0 lead going into the intermission.

Cathedral Catholic advanced to the championship game after a 24-0 semifinal victory over Point Loma on Dec. 1.

Bogart was 14 for 26 passing for 233 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Stavola rushed for 99 yards on 24 carries and had See SPORTS, page 13

It’s a winning season for North Shore’s 8U Fall Ball team. Front row: Allison Bien, Audra Carangelo, Sakura Bindley, Eden Ratner, and Katie Walling. Back row: Leah Teague, Olivia Crosbie, Caitlin Woodmansee, Emily Bertrand, Sydney Ang, and Donya Khaksari. Not pictured: Taylor Ang and Nadia Shaban.

North Shore’s 8U team undefeated in fall season Softball became even more exciting for a group of 7-and-8-year-olds who made up the 8U Fall Ball team of the North Shore Girls Softball League, when their team recently finished the season undefeated.

“We had a terrific season,” says manager Steve Ratner. “We had girls with some experience under their belts and others who were playing for the first time. Each girl played hard and played up to her potential.”

The Fall Ball season, which runs from September through November, is often a time when softball players sharpen their skills and up their playing ability, according to Ratner.

“It’s less intense than the All-Star season, but more intense the rec season,” says Ratner. “We play against teams outside of our league and that makes it more competi-

Pascale caught four passes for 100 yards with one touchdown, and Heinz had two catches for 38 yards with one touchdown.

Jake Terzoli and Russell Reeder each had eight tackles to lead the Dons defensively. ***** Santa Fe Christian extended its winning streak to 11 games as the Eagles gathered some more momentum going into the San Diego Section Division V finals with a 42-6 shellacking of Bishop’s in a Dec. 2 semifinal at Carlsbad High.

The Eagles will play Christian in the championship game on Dec. 9 at Mesa College at 7 p.m.

Grant Lucier and Connor Moore combined for six touchdowns to lead an Eagles offense that rolled up 359 total yards.

Lucier rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries.

Moore rushed for 109 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries, and complet-

As an added bonus, the 8U coaches saw skill levels rise, with several girls hitting home runs during games.

“We want to see these girls maintain and improve their skills, and to look forward to upcoming rec season,” says coach Paul Ang. “That’s what Fall Ball is all about.”

While the 8U team will take some time off from softball, all 13 girls are planning to return in January for evaluations and the start of the Spring recreational season.

ed five of nine pass attempts for 75 yards and two touchdowns. Lucier also caught two passes for 47 yards and one touchdown.

Hunter Vaccaro had eight tackles and Darrian Borboa added six tackles to lead a dominant defense, with 14 Eagles players contributing at least one tackle.

Lucier helped set the tone early, scoring on runs from 3 and the 43 to give the Eagles an early 14-0 lead.

Moore’s scoring run from the 2 in the second quarter gave the Eagles a 21-0 lead going into the intermission.

Then the Eagles broke it open in the third quarter when Moore completed a 27yard scoring pass to Lucier that made it 28-0.

Volleyball: Cathedral Catholic won its third state title in four years as the Dons outlasted Albany (near Berkeley) 3-2 (25-15, 23-25, 21-25, 31-29, 16-14) in the Division III title game on Dec. 3 at Concordia University in Irvine.

Tatiana Durr had 18 kills to lead the Dons and Kamila Tan and Krissy Witous each added 14 kills.

Lauren Miller had 30 assists and Jaclyn Williamson

Morgan Cormier had 10 kills to lead the Dons, and Tan and Witous each added eight kills.

Miller led the Dons with 18 assists, and Williamson added seven assists.

The Dons conclude the season with a 35-4 overall record.

The Wildcats gather on the championship field in San Marcos: Cami Doheny, Devon Doheny, Farah Farjood, Jordan Hayes, Gabi Jimenez, Lena Kahn, Lexi Kaplan, Libby King, Emma Marks, Kelli McKinnon, Ana Nazari, Alyssa Raby, Tatum Ramsey, Devin Rosario, Elizabeth Russell, Nicolette Saddic, Sheer Savion, Elle Schneider, Claire Vapnek, Hannah Walker, Shayna Weinstein, Shannon Yogerst and Blake Zimmer.

Wildcats make it four straight The Carmel Valley Wildcats made it four straight fall middle school championships by beating the Mustangs 11-6 in the title game at Woodland Park MS in San Marcos.

What made this title sweeter than the others was the fact that the Wildcats went into the game was overwhelming underdogs. They had already lost to Mustangs three times during the fall season, including a pool game earlier in the championship tournament.

But from the opening whistle there was little doubt who wanted the title more. Winning the draw and playing aggressive lacrosse from the start, Wildcats sprinted out to early 2-0 and 3-1 leads, and managed to crawl their way into halftime with a narrow two-goal margin.

The Wildcats had also been up at halftime on two of their previous games against the Mustangs. And there was every expectation that ponies would stage another second-half comeback. But the Wildcats didn’t fold this time, slowly for surely extending their lead in the second half and holding off a furious Mustangs rally in the final minutes.

The championship was the Wildcats’ first under new head coach Jillian Boyd, a former Virginia Wesleyan player and UC Santa Barbara coach who now lives in San Diego.

After losing more than half the team to graduation last spring, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Wildcats. But they had a strong season nonetheless. They finished second in the standings and went into the season-ending tourney as the number two seed.

In pool play they lost to Mustangs, but easily knocked off La Jolla and San Marcos to earn a spot in the final.

It was the eighth graders – Devon Doheny, Farah Farjood, Gabi Jimenez, Lexi Kaplan and Shannon Yogerst – who really picked it up in the final by contributing the bulk of goals, assists and draw wins. Underclassmen Jordan Hayes and Tatum Ramsey also scored, and keeper Liz Russell had a solid game in goal.

Nyan Cats win Commissioner’s Cup The Nyan Cats, a boys under 12 DMCV Sharks recreation team, were crowned champions at the CalSouth Division 2 Commissioner’s Cup on Dec 4, narrowly edging the Flamin’ Tabasco 2-1 in the finals. The championship capped a dominating fall season for the Nyan Cats, finishing with a 14-2 record including 8 shutouts, 42 goals for and 15 goals against.

In the Commissioner’s Cup games, Oscar and Taylor led the offense with crisp passing and spectacular finishes. Ryan and Ethan provided strong center midfield support with great energy and skill. Jon and Sanil made long runs up the side as outside midfielders and excelled in defense as well. Erik, DJ, Khoa and Vivek formed the Energizer Bunny Quartet with furious activity on both ends of the field. Rex came from his midfield position to make the run of the game up the far sideline. Ryan, Roberto and Matthew all played goalie and only allowed one goal each over the four weekend games. Last, but not least, Chris, Roberto, Daniel and B-Ry led the Diamond Defense which was nearly impenetrable, not only against the top teams last weekend, but all season long.

“I am very proud of the boys on the Nyan Cats team,” said Coach Shopes. “They played beautiful soccer and were great examples of the Sharks motto of ‘Fun, Sportsmanship and Fair Play.’ Their parents should be proud of not only their championship but how they got there.” Coach Shopes also wanted to thank Coach Anderson and his Flamin’ Tabasco team for a clean, competitive and action-packed Commissioner’s Cup Final game.

DMCV Sharks All-stars Blue U10 shine at tournament DMCV Sharks All-stars Blue U10 made it to the finals recently at the La Jolla Tournament. They lost 1-0 to Poway but had a fantastic run.

Barefoot Doctors walk the world Local residents bring much-needed healthcare experience, equipment to Myanmar

BY JOE TASH A group of local health care professionals is providing expertise and equipment to villagers from Myanmar with the goal of improving medical treatment for residents of the impoverished Southeast Asian nation.

Cyril Thomas of Carmel Valley and his colleagues have their work cut out for them: a 2000 study by the World Health Organization ranked Myanmar — a former British colony once known as Burma — dead last of the 190 countries whose health care systems were analyzed.

“Burma has the worst healthcare in the world,” said Thomas, a physician’s assistant with Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, who has volunteered with medical missions to dozens of countries over the past two decades.

But a program called Barefoot Doctors aims to change that dismal statistic.

Thomas and several Kaiser co-workers, including emergency room physician David Brumwell of Del Mar, traveled earlier this year to Chiang Mai in Thailand, where they taught villagers from Myanmar skills such as how to suture wounds, administer medications for tuberculosis and malaria and set fractures. The group plans to return to Chiang Mai for another teaching mission in February.

And last week, one of the leaders of the Barefoot Doctors, Timothy Chaungkhum of the town of Tachileik, in Myanmar’s Shan state, visited Thomas and Brumwell as part of a tour of the U.S. and Canada to garner support for the program.

Barefoot Doctors is run under the auspices of Frontier Labourers for Christ, an evangelical organization that operates in the “Golden Triangle,” which includes parts of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos (the region earned notoriety as a major opiumproducing region).

As part of his group’s work, said Chaungkhum, evangelists are seeking to

From farm to book table right in our own backyard The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Chino Farms, the cognoscenti of farmers’ markets in our own Rancho Santa Fe backyard, has become a rock star in agronomy and is now a cookbook seller of famed chefs. In a nutshell, here’s the backstory and tasty upcoming events.

Tom Chino’s studies at UC Berkeley were interrupted when serendipity came calling. He was forced into the family farm business to take over the reigns from his ailing parents, who began farming the land in 1947. He and a trio of siblings became devoted hands-on farmers, whose pioneering organic practices, revolutionary hybridizations, and five-star produce offered for sale at the Vegetable Shop put them on the gourmet map for the

glitterati of foodies.

Famous patrons include legendary restaurateur Wolfgang Puck, who first started using Chino’s gems to enliven Spago’s menu; Nancy Silverton, co-founder of La Brea Bakery, author, and chef/coowner of the popular and critically acclaimed Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles; Alice Waters, pioneer of California cuisine, owner of Berkeley’s Chez Panisse, author, activist, and organic and slow food movement guru; and local locavores, such as, Rancho Santa Fe Mille Fleurs’ chef Martin Woesle, chef Carl Shroeder of Del Mar’s Market restaurant, George’s California Modern in La Jolla led by chef Trey Forshee and Arterra’s chef Jason Maitland.

Although they initially focused on taking produce to Los Angeles, now you can purchase not only divine produce from Chino Farms — like Technicolor heirloom tomatoes, itzy-bitzy Brussels sprouts, exotic lettuces and sweet corn — but also gorgeous books signed by the famed authors.

Chino Farms, in collaboration with seasoned bookseller Milane Christiansen, handling sales through her Vintage Works, will host a series of celebratory literary re-

Coming up from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 11, Alice Waters will be signing her new book, “40 Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering.” In keeping with the theme of the book, the event is hospitably free to the public and will include an informal reception with wine and savory eats. As an added boon, the farm will be open for shopping.

lows last month’s book-signing of Silverton’s “The Mozza Cookbook,” with San Diego co-author Carolynn Carreno also in attendance.

Silverton said she “first discovered Chino’s produce in the 1980s. I was at Spago, and Frank Chino made a delivery. I didn’t know who he was, or that Alice Waters was using their stuff. I just knew that what I was tasting was something very special, and I couldn’t wait to meet the people who had grown these things.”

“Mozza” is packed with more than 300 pages of treasures from the restaurant’s kitchen, from prosciuttowrapped breadsticks and gnocchi with duck ragu to Nancy’s gourmet pizzas and rosemary olive oil cakes with olive oil gelato.

Silverton fans also sampled culinary collaborations with her recipes and Chino’s veggies — crostini made by Mozza chef Chad Colby, with Chino winter squash, sautéed bitter greens and smoked bacon, washed down nicely with flutes of champagne.

On my last visit to the Vegetable Shop, I purchased some amazingly tender Brussels sprouts and Bibb lettuce, and concocted this healthful

Local rider wins junior trail class at top competition

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KELLEY CARLSON Until mid-November, Lindsay LaPlante had never competed in the American Quarter Horse Association World Championship Show.

That obstacle didn’t stop her — and neither did the 50 poles that she and her horse, Leroy, had to maneuver around to win the junior trail class.

“I couldn’t believe it; I was speechless,” the 21-yearold LaPlante said of her victory. “I honestly thought I was dreaming. It was unbelievable.”

The local resident said that never in a million years did she think she would be a world champion.

Exposed to horses as a toddler, LaPlante was originally involved in the world of English jumping, beginning formal lessons at age 7.

But several years later — at around age 10 or 11, she said — LaPlante fell and suffered a concussion, which forced a change in plans.

“My parents had me take a break,” she said.

“They decided western (riding) was a little safer. My parents had me try trail. I’m fine with that — as long as I’m on a horse, I’m good

with whatever!”

Eventually, LaPlante acquired Pepper, her first trail horse.

“He was 16, 17 years old and able to do everything,” she said. “I was able to learn on him.”

About the time LaPlante made the switch to trail rid-

ing, she learned about Del Mar resident and horse trainer Liz Place, the 2000 world champion in the senior trail class. LaPlante’s third-grade teacher had a horse at Far West Farms in Del Mar, where Place was based at the time.

“I’ve been with her (for a while now), and we’ve been friends,” LaPlante said.

Place, who is now with Clews Horse Ranch in Carmel Valley, trained LaPlante’s first trail horses and gave her lessons. She also showed LaPlante’s horse, Val, in the 2007 AQHA World Championship Show, and finished ninth in the junior trail class, an event for horses under age 6.

“Not only has (Place) taught me how to ride, she’s taught me so much about myself and what kind of person I strive to be,” LaPlante said. “I could never repay her for that.”

Two years ago and a couple of horses later, LaPlante acquired Leroy, whose formal name is Only Good Sox, in a trade within the barn. Nancy Wheeler Smith, who had also been a client of Place’s, took over ownership of LaPlante’s

horse Lazy Rocker, also known as Rocky.

“I always liked Leroy, so it was an easy choice,” LaPlante said. “I knew he would be a little bigger than Rocky, and probably make a nicer all-around horse in the future.”

Place had done the preliminary training with Leroy at ages 2 and 3, teaching him trail basics such as how to set his head, how to go slow, and how to change leads. LaPlante continued to work with him and further his skills, and last year began to show him as a 4-year-old.

But the red roan gelding — who is stabled at Clews — didn’t accumulate many points.

“He didn’t understand the trail like he does now,” she said. “It took about a year for him to figure it out.”

This year, something clicked.

The duo of Leroy and LaPlante started performing well in nationally ranked shows, where points are awarded based on the number of horses in a class and their placing. To qualify for the world championships, a horse-and-rider team must

earn a total of 18 points, often over the course of at least several shows. LaPlante and Leroy reached the goal in two shows, which she said was “pretty quick.”

Even though they qualified quickly, the duo participated in several additional shows to get ready for the competition, LaPlante said.

Held in Oklahoma City, the AQHA World Championship junior trail preliminaries were Nov. 13; the finals were Nov. 16.

LaPlante described the trail class “like a big obstacle course,” where horse and rider must maneuver around approximately 50 poles in the walking, trotting and loping gaits. The final pattern was really difficult, LaPlante said, which involved a trot serpentine that went into a lope, doing a Uturn, and then loping again.

“He (Leroy) was such a good boy,” she said.

Ironically, while LaPlante won with Leroy, her former horse Rocky finished sixth in the same class, under trainer Gary Roberts.

But LaPlante and Leroy will probably part ways, as See RIDER, page B18

Red Tracton’s: A traditional steakhouse for the horsey set and seafood lovers, too

BY KELLEY CARLSON ed Tracton’s is an old-schoolstyle steakhouse that exudes class. Perhaps it’s due to the dim lights, big red leather booths and tables draped in white cloth in the main dining room.

Or maybe it’s guests in seats that intimately surround the piano in the lounge, as tunes ranging from Sinatra standards to pop music are played live five evenings a week.

“You won’t find anything else like this around here,” owner Tracy Tracton said. “We’re unique to the area.”

The family-owned and operated Red Tracton’s was originally established in the Los Angeles area in the 1960s.

First located on La Cienega, it was near the Forum and Hollywood Park, which were at the peak of popularity.

“It (Red’s) was a sportsman’s hangout back in the day,” Tracton said.

After about 35 years, friends of Red — Tracy’s father — persuaded him to relocate across the street from the Del Mar racetrack, and the restaurant opened during the 1988 racing season.

“He almost had a built-in clientele,” Tracton said. Many of the customers were horse owners, trainers and

Blackened Fish jockeys, and a number of them continue to dine at Red’s today. Subsequently, much of the decor is influenced by the establishment’s “regulars” and location — there are racehorses etched in glass, jockey statues, winner’s circle photos, including some of Del Mar Futurity victor Icecoldbeeratreds, named in honor of Red; and silks from Sid and Jenny Craig’s Epsom Derby winner, Dr. Devious. And naturally, the TVs found in the bar and in the Triple Crown Room (used for private functions) are often tuned to horse racing telecasts or other sporting events.

Patrons will find an array of meats, seafoods and salads on the menu.

First-timers who love meat can’t go wrong with a full bone cut of prime rib, along with a gigantic baked potato and a Green Goddess Salad, Tracton said.

Tracton emphasized that shrimp can be served several ways — blackened, golden fried or scampi style.

And while there isn’t a children’s menu, Red Tracton’s is kid-friendly, she said. Entrees for the younger crowd include chicken fingers, hamburgers and barbecue ribs. “Kids love this place,” Tracton said. “They grow up here, then they bring them (their kids) here.”

Happy hour and late-night bar menus are available, featuring items such as prime-rib sliders, onion rings and a Buffalo Chicken sandwich.

Also, Sunday brunch is offered during football season only, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

She also emphasized that because the main dining room is fine dining, long pants are required on males.

However, the lounge/piano bar and the Starlight Terrace are more laidback. “We’ve kept an old-school ambience and customer service, along with great quality food and large portions,” Tracton said.

TPHS graduate earns prestigious engineering leadership award

BY MEGAN MCVAY When asked about his research ventures at UCSD as an electrical engineering graduate student, Del Mar resident Joshua Windmiller casually mentioned that he had developed the world’s most intelligent wetsuit.

Such accomplsihments are just the beginning for the former Torrey Pines High School student who was recently selected as one of the 2011 Graduate Gordon Engineering Leadership Awardees by UCSD’s Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Center.

Windmiller’s passion for engineering began at an early age as he has always taken a special interest in how things worked. As an elementary school student, he played with computers and tried to decipher their parts. And as high school student, he supplemented this natural curiosity with an elevated education by enrolling in math and science courses so advanced that college professors often came to Torrey Pines High School to teach them.

In 2003, he graduated from Torrey Pines High School and began his education as an electrical engineering major at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering. During his undergraduate years, Windmiller persevered through rigorous fiveclass schedules that left little time for relaxation.

“Quantum Electrodynamics was definitely the most challenging course of my undergraduate education. Sometimes it took me one day just to grasp what a question was asking. Even though it was my most difficult course, it was probably my favorite because I learned a lot about my capabilities by being pushed so hard,” said Windmiller.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree and completing his undergraduate education, Windmiller enrolled in the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering as graduate student to pursue his master’s degree and PhD. “The most difficult part of becoming a graduate student was making the transition from only focusing on doing well in classes to having to pose and solve my own questions and become an independent researcher,” said Windmiller.

Indeed, Windmiller successfully transitioned into an independent researcher — one who could fuse together entrepreneurial ideas and innovative engineering to develop technology useful for everyone.

Windmiller joined a re-

Joshua Windmiller search group comprised of 20 UCSD graduate students who were also focused on electrical engineering and became the senior Ph.D. student of the group. The group serves as a support system in which each student was engaged in his or her own thesis research and was guided by the group’s advisor, Joe Wang, the UCSD Professor of Nanoengineering.

Over the last five years, Windmiller has succeeded in researching and developing a breakthrough printable sensor technology that allows biomedical devices to be printed on textiles and plastics, and also has longevity — despite constant wear. Perhaps the most ad-

vantageous aspect of these printable biomedical sensors is that they cost only cents to produce and can be printed at a fast pace, thereby fulfilling Windmiller’s goal to make healthcare more affordable.

These sensors are as thin as paper, yet are capable of sensitivity at a parts per trillion level. Hypothetically, this means that they can detect one- 20th of a single drop of water diluted into an Olympic size pool.

Windmiller focuses on innovating technology that is universally useful, and these sensors are exactly that. They have a multitude of functions, each function helpful to a different group of people in society.

Athletes can buy clothes with these sensors attached to the sleeves and, in turn, the sensors will alert the athletes of any lactic acid or electrolyte imbalances in their sweat. Likewise, surfers, divers and swimmers can wear biomedical-sensor wetsuits, which can assist them in identifying harmful pollutant levels in the ocean.

Windmiller plans to complete his thesis this year and finally present his technology to a committee in order to receive his Ph.D. However, over the last couple of years, Windmiller has already traveled to Washington D.C. several times to present his advancements and prove his satisfactory SEE ENGINEERING, PAGE B18

Oceanographer to lecture Lessons from the ocean at about deep-sea fragilities aquarium’s Sea Days shows Scripps biological oceanographer Lisa Levin will discuss “A New Imperative for DeepOcean Stewardship,” as part of the Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 12 at the Birch Aquarium, 2300 Expedition Way. The deep continental margins were once perceived as monotonous mud slopes of limited ecological or environmental concern. However, technological advances now reveal unexpected diversity, with a mosaic of lush habitats and ecosystems that support varied and unusual species fundamental to the health of the ocean and our own lives.

Levin will show how changes in ocean temperature and chemistry, as well as growing economic opportunities, are placing new pressures on deep-ocean ecosystems, just as we are getting to know them.

Naturopathic wellness center opens in Solana Beach

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net To treat ailments or get non-prescription antidotes without having to go to the doctor, many simply walk into a vitamin shop and stock up, guided by not much more than the text on the back of a bottle and the advice of the shop employee. On Dec. 10, the community will see a new concept that combines the benefits of a nutritional store and a doctor’s office with the opening of the Solana Beach Wellness Center, located at 100 S. Cedros Ave. Directed by naturopathic doctor Kelly Austin, the cen-

ter has a goal of getting to the root of patients’ problems, often linked to elements such as nutrition and lifestyle, before treating with medication.

Menopause, digestive disorders, anxiety, depression, diabetes, high cholesterol, blood pressure concerns, weight loss and anti-aging are only some of the reasons Austin sees patients.

Coupled with the products and ideals of Metagenics, which calls itself a “lifestyle medicine and nutritional supplement company,” the center will provide a multi-disciplinary approach to health and incorporate services from massage to vitamin therapy to chiropractics before prescribing medication. Austin and the center’s nurses will also focus on naturally weaning patients off medications they are already taking.

“We specifically picked the center to be in Solana Beach because people here (and in surrounding commu-

nities) are so open to natural medicine and take such good care of themselves,” said Austin, who frequently administers vitamin B12 injections at the Sprouts supermarket at 659 Lomas Santa Fe Drive.

“They understand longevity and are open to education.”

Austin began working out of a chiropractic office in Rancho Bernardo, but within a year outgrew the space and opened up her own office to keep up with the demand of her services. A fitness instructor and long distance runner, Austin is not only exercise savvy, but she’s received training through Defeat Autism Now (DAN) to work with autistic patients and she’s one of the only doctors who is certified to do cyclical dosing of hormones.

Metagenics CEO Fred Howard said he met Austin about a year ago at a medicalrelated event and he was drawn to her principles.

“She’s a superstar,” said

“We’re medicine of the future, focusing on prevention rather than treating. We also focus on finding the cause rather than finding symptoms.”

Kelly Austin, N.D. Director, Solana Beach Wellness Center

“We like the idea of bringing the doctor closer to patients to break down the barrier, and having doctors treat patients through nutrition and exercise is so important … not going down the path of self medication or walking into a vitamin shop and being overwhelmed.”

Fred Howard CEO, Metagenics

Howard, a Rancho Santa Fe resident.

But rather than working within Austin’s office to carry out Metagenics’ therapies and products, Howard said he wanted to work with Austin to find a space in which they could work together doing what they do best — and in less than a year their idea of a wellness center has come to fruition.

“We wanted to have a space that is conducive to learning about nutrition, to help people with their issues,” Howard said, “It’s a space where you come in and you’re greeted by a doctor.

There are treatment rooms

and also space for seminars and an area to buy Metagenics products. It’s not like a retail shop where there is no one to help you through the decisionmaking process.”

Howard said there are many places that call themselves wellness centers, however, the Solana Beach Center will be the first of its kind, and there could be many like it to follow as more people seek out natural treatment and therapy options.

“We felt it’s good to do something for society,” Howard said, adding that conditions like diabetes and obesity are getting more and more prevalent.

“All these basic issues are

so predominant in the U.S. and globally, so it’s good to be nutrition-minded and healthoriented.”

Howard said it’s common for people to have questions about natural options, as more and more products and supplements are hitting the parket.

“You can answer some of your questions on the Internet,” he said. “But it’s not like talking to a doctor.”

Carnivale on Cedros Costumed puppeteers gracefully walking on pole stilts down South Cedros Avenue and towering prominently over passing cars isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a sight you see everyday. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Solana Beach resident, it may be something that comes around once a year.

On Dec. 3, the Dragon Knights stilt show was one of several street performances that entertained shoppers and strollers at the Holiday Carnivale, which takes place each

year in the Cedros Design District.

Mango and Dango, a duo that excites audiences with acrobatics, dancing and firejuggling, was also featured at the event, along with costumed music act Steam Powered Giraffe.

Businesses opened their doors to bigger-than-usual crowds, and some entertained guests with food, drinks or music.

Grafos plans to ride an indoor cycle for the entire 12 hours, along with other interested participants who will support the cause by either riding one of the other 11 bikes or taking SPX Pilates classes in increments of one hour or more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our family was devastated when we found out my father had ALS earlier this year,â&#x20AC;? explained Grafos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most shocking and terrible part of it all is the speed at which this disease has robbed my dad of his health. So far there is no treatment and no cure, and we are going to do what we can to fight this with all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;?

The event will encourage participants to secure donations in advance and then commit to riding for as long as they think they can, or by making a donation to take SPX Pilates classes. The goal is to have both rooms filled throughout the entire 12 hours.

BY KAREN BILLING Dr. Jack Reingold can honestly say he’s wanted to be a podiatrist since he was 5 years old. Reingold, who has led Coast Podiatry Group in Solana Beach since Dr. Jack Reingold 1989, was influenced and inspired by a friend of the family who was a podiatrist and well respected in his community in upstate New York.

“I admired him and wanted to be like him,” said Reingold. “I was lucky to keep moving through medical school and accomplish everything I wanted.”

Reingold has been a podiatrist for over 30 years and the medicine has become a hobby almost as much as a job, his few moments of free time are spent reading journal articles and he has volunteered for years performing corrective foot surgeries in more than 100 countries, including Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador.

“I think podiatry is the best area of medicine,” Reingold said. “Most of the people who see me are in pain and the great thing about podiatry is we can usually alleviate that pain and usually solve all their problems. It’s an instant gratification that others maybe don’t get in medicine.”

Reingold specializes in everything foot and ankle: from hammertoes to bunions, minor sports injuries to surgeries at Scripps La Jolla and Encinitas.

“I have a pretty mixed practice because the community is so mixed, with people young and old,” Reingold said.

The number one problem he sees is heel pain, which is his favorite ailment to treat because he knows how to fix it with conservative treatment.

He also deals a lot with diabetic foot care, about 28 percent of all diabetics have foot ulcerations and as diabetes decreases blood flow, foot injuries are slow to heal, putting patients at risk for infection.

Having his own private practice has allowed him some flexibility and the unique ability to use advanced technology in his office — his radial shock wave therapy machine for issues such as plantar fasciitis or heel spurs is, to his knowledge, the only one in San Diego.

In addition to his practice, Reingold also started a comfort shoe store, the Active Foot Store in UTC, selling custom shoes to accommodate everyone: People with issues with diabetes or arthritis, athletes or people who just have trouble finding the right shoe. Reingold said it’s not uncommon that a staff member will spend an hour helping someone find the right fit shoe.

“The store brought the ethics of medicine over to retail,” Reingold said, noting they also carry compression socks, arch supports, braces and more. “It’s a podiatrist’s dream store because it offers every product that we want people to be able to find.”

Reingold has also created his own skin cream, called Dr. Jack’s Extra-Strength Skin Care Creme.

He worked with a chemist in Canada to develop the fragrance-free formula that is a keratolytic (removing dead skin cells). It also moisturizes and absorbs very quickly.

“It’s kind of fun because it’s a good product and it’s been so well received,” Reingold said.

Reingold loves being in Solana Beach, even though he’s often too busy to enjoy his ocean view. He most enjoys working with the people in the community.

“The people around the coast are educated, interesting people,” Reingold said.

“The great thing about being a podiatrist is that you can talk to patients while you’re treating them and develop a relationship that’s just right…I often say ‘We don’t treat feet, we treat people.’ The feet are just attached.”

Coast Podiatry Group is located at 550 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, suite B. For more information, visit coastpodiatrygroup.com or call (858) 755-6055. For more on Active Foot Store, visit activefootstore.com

All Star Dance Studio in Solana Beach was one of 10 studios invited to participate in the Disney Holiday Spectacular Parade this year set to air Christmas Day on ABC. Among the dancers was Del Mar resident Melanie An. This is the third time the 10-year-old dancer has performed in a Disney Parade.

Participating studios came from as far away as Utah, Arizona and Washington State. Studio owner Courtney Delaney Bowen said dancing the Disney Parade is a dream come true for her studio, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disney. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always an honor to take part in this classic event.â&#x20AC;?

She added this time it is extra special in that it will be televised around the country. The event was taped in early November for the December airing.

Dancer Melanie has been with All Star All Star Dance team members (left to right) Dance since the studio opened its doors in Fiori Holcomb, Elle DeGoler, Shivi Azzopardi, 2002. She says one of the highlights of beMilla Carazo (front) and Melanie An ing on the dance troupe is performances like the Disney Parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disney gets an A+ because they always think of everything. They treat us like mini movie stars. We all work really hard learning the choreography, then enjoy the applause and smiles along Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show time!â&#x20AC;?

The group performed in the traditional Main Street Parade wearing bright red and winter white costumes holding metallic pom poms. There was also a special taping of the dance â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toylandâ&#x20AC;? with young dancers ages 8 and below dressed in pajamas with dolls and teddy bears. The older dancers dressed as toy soldiers in colorful red, white and blue outfits. A lastminute addition allowed the dancers to also perform a mini dance to the Disney cartoon â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phineas and Ferbâ&#x20AC;? which airs on the Disney Channel. The celebrity host for the event was actor Nick Cannon. Other special guests included actress/singer China Anne McClain from the Disney show â&#x20AC;&#x153;ANT Farm.â&#x20AC;?

All Star Dance Studio is located in the Lomas Santa Fe Shopping Center in Solana Beach.

improvements to the Office of Naval Research, which has funded Windmiller’s $1.6 million project.

“I applied to be funded by the Office of Naval Research by creating a proposal that showed them that my technology allows me to do something they can’t do. Because I develop technology for them, I have to travel to Washington D.C. to present my progress to high-level military officials,” said Windmiller.

Windmiller’s printable sensor technology is beneficial to the Office of Naval Research because it allows the biomedical devices to be printed on military and Navy uniforms. The sensors enable Navy Seals and military personnel to detect the presence of TNT and Improvised Explosion Devices (IED) and consequently prevent more security hazards.

“One of the best aspects of my experience is that it has been interdisciplinary. A lot of things we use today aren’t a product of a single engineering discipline, so I like to tie in a bunch of different fields into my research. In addition to being an electrical engineer, I’ve had to be a chemical, bio, mechanical and software engineer at the same time,” said Windmiller.

ready for other events besides trail, such as horsemanship, equitation and showmanship, but those are events at the amateur level.

Because LaPlante teaches children how to ride, she has professional status, making her ineligible for amateur events. To return to amateur status, she would have to stop instructing for five years.

LaPlante loves her job, though.

Another option is that she could show Leroy in the senior class, for horses age 6 and older, but LaPlante said she enjoys working with younger horses.

She credits her family and trainer for her success.

“I want to thank Liz, my mom (Susan Fristoe) and grandpa (Charles Fristoe),” LaPlante said. “Without them, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today.”

in Chiang Mai, and donations of dental and medical equipment. Thomas said he is available to speak to schools, service clubs and other organizations, and can be contacted at cyril4barefootdoctors@gmail. com.

Both Brumwell and Thomas said they found the

experience rewarding, and look forward to their February trip back to Thailand.

“They’re just really caring, beautifully sweet people, the way they welcomed and took care of us,” said Brumwell.

“You give very little and you get an incredible amount back,” said Thomas.

continued from B5 In 2009, Windmiller further expanded his diverse engineering lore by joining the Bernard and Sophia Gordon Engineering Leadership Center, which has the goal of identifying, educating and training “the most promising of engineering leaders who will create new products and jobs that benefit society.” Windmiller was one of the 30 students selected from the Jacobs School of Engineering to be a member of this prestigious center. The members come to the Gordon Center a couple of days every week to engage in focused classes, workshops, leadership forums, keynote speaker presentations and summer schools that integrate exciting engineering and leadership challenges.

“I wanted to join the center to foster my capability of engineering leadership.

Studies have shown that engineers who work in a cohesive team with a leader are nine times more efficient at carrying out a task and developing a product in line with the customer user. The center has allowed me to supplement my technology courses with training regarding product management and customer relations,” said Windmiller.

Due to his outstanding

research, innovations, leadership qualities and extensive science journal publication record, this year Windmiller was honored as a recipient of the prestigious Gorgon Engineering Leadership Fellowship award. As a Gordon Fellow Award recipient, Windmiller embodies the characteristics of vision, integrity and innovation and serves as a successful leader and positive role model for Jacobs School of Engineering students. On Oct. 25, Windmiller attended the Gordon Engineering Leadership Center’s awards ceremony and received a medal and a $10,000 check.

“Most people who receive Ph.D.s pursue an academic passion and dive into the research or the education industry. However, I want to take my education and electrical engineering Ph.D. in an entrepreneurial direction. I hope to start my own business dealing with biomedical advances or alternative energy where I can transform my research into actual products. I think that the leadership-based education I got from the Gordon Center will help me accomplish this,” said Windmiller.

ADJOURNMENT, DM582, Dec. 8, 2011

Q&A continued from B16 What is your best memory?

My best professional memories are not the “big things” but are the “small things.” When I get an email from someone that says, “You helped me have a better life,” this means a lot to me.

What would you still like to achieve professionally?

I (hopefully) still have a lot to do! My next challenge is to finish my upcoming book on “Leading Your Own Life.” This book will provide a completely new perspective on employee engagement. I still think that I have a lot to do and several books to write! I have no plans to ever retire.

Who or what inspires you?

I have been inspired by several wonderful teachers and mentors, including Paul Hersey, Peter Drucker, Richard Beckhard and Frances Hesselbein. These are people who were giants in our field and took the time to help me

when I was young. It is easy to look tall when you stand on the shoulders of giants.

If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

• Buddha (I am a Buddhist.)

• Thich Nhat Hanh (My favorite Buddhist monk.)

• Alan Mulally (CEO of Ford) and Frances Hesselbein (former CEO of the Girl Scouts) (Both are great leaders, former clients and friends.)

• Peter Drucker (The greatest thinker that I have ever known.)

• Lyda, Bryan and Kelly (My family – who I love.)

Tell us about what you are currently reading.

I just finished working two days in Saudi Arabia. I was given a beautiful Koran as a gift. I am reading it now.

What are your favorite films?

My favorite film is “The Wizard of Oz.” This is a wonderful film that can be interpreted on many levels.

It presents a fascinating interpretation of Buddhist philosophy. It also features my favorite song, “Somewhere

Over the Rainbow.” This film points out that true happiness and meaning can only be found on the inside “where we are” – not on the outside “where we dream about being.” There is no place like home! If you live in San Diego, this is not hard to imagine!

What do you do for fun and what is your favorite vacation destination?

I am currently in Mumbai. With over 10 million frequent flyer miles (just on American Airlines), my favorite destination is home – Rancho Santa Fe, California. My second favorite vacation destination is my second home in New York City.

Please describe your greatest accomplishment.

My greatest accomplishment is helping people have a better life – and helping people help the people around them have better lives. This is more important than books or awards.

What is your motto or philosophy of life?

Life is good. Be happy now.
