RSF resident announces candidacy for U.S. President
RSF Association continues to explore use of email BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association is slowly starting the process of using e-mail communication with Association members. The board of directors is still deciding what kind of communication would be appropriate for e-mail, and at the board’s Dec. 1 meeting directed staff to work with e-mail vendor Constant Contact. Robert Green, Association building commissioner, presented his report on e-mail communication at the meeting as it was named one of the board’s top 10 priorities at a recent retreat. E-mail communication is also a high priority for residents — results from this year’s Covenant-wide survey showed that 71 percent of residents would be interested in receiving urgent communications from the Association, 59 percent would like to receive general communication and 39 percent would like to see Association bills in their inbox. Currently, most of the Association’s communication is sent through regular “snail mail,” although the RSF Golf Club does utilize an email system for the occasional announcement for special events. Items that have the potential to be sent by email include surveys, agendas, information on special events, newsletters, alerts of street closures, Art Jury notices and committee openings. With Constant Contact, which would cost about $2130 a month, members would sign up directly with the system, the Association wouldn’t have to gather contact information themselves. See EMAIL, page 20

RSF’s Helen Reed overcomes adversity to win national equestrian title BY KELLEY CARLSON It was about a year ago when “Joy” returned to RSF resident Helen Reed’s life. After suffering from a nearly three-year bout of depression and selling her promising Arabian show horses, Reed recovered and was reunited with her beloved 11-year-old gray mare, SV Justajoy. It was a victory for the 67-year-old, who had been a horse lover her entire life and suddenly had trouble even leaving her house. “It’s the most isolating thing you can imagine,”
Reed said. “You feel like you can’t do the smallest things, like drive to the post office. ... I hope nobody has to experience it. It’s just horrible.” After defeating depression and rediscovering her passion for equines, another win was just around the corner — in the form of a championship. Reed and Joy placed first at October’s U.S. National Arabian & HalfArabian Championship Horse Show (in the “Arabian Country English Pleasure 55 and Over” division). “If I never win another

show, it won’t matter — I’m so happy,” Reed said. In the beginning Reed said she loved horses from the moment she opened her eyes. “I asked for horses every day,” she said. “I crawled around on my hands and knees (pretending to be a horse). I put bridles on my sisters and drove them around.” One evening, Reed’s mom opened her bedroom door and found her daughter sleeping standing up. “I didn’t want a horse, I wanted to BE a horse,” Reed
said. “Every minute of my life was about horses.” While living in Spain as a young teen, due to her father’s career in the Air Force, Reed would ride in the countryside, paying 25 cents an hour. But when she returned to the States, Reed said “it was too expensive” to ride. Hooked on horses — again For Reed’s 50th birthday, a friend — who had two horses — gave her a trail ride as a gift.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
RSF Association Buzz: The Osuna Adobe BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN I mentioned at a recent board meeting my concerns about the lack of noticeable Jack Queen improvements on the Osuna Ranch property. My concern is primarily focused on the adobe house and its restoration. The horse operation and facility are actually very well maintained and operated in an extremely professional manner by our Ranch Supervisor Daria Quay. In addition, through the hard work of the Osuna Committee and Association staff, phase one of the Adobe Master Plan has almost been completed. The main road has been completely redone to allow emergency vehicle access and the electric and water utilities have been
converted. We await only the removal of the electric panel from the wall on the adobe and final approval of the lot split so the residence can be sold. The adobe is another story. Structurally, the adobe house is in much better shape than when we purchased the property. After the purchase was completed, extensive work was done to stabilize the structure and to prevent the continued deterioration of the adobe walls. The stabilization project was very successful, however, we provided only enough funds to do what was necessary and the work left the building looking half finished. The holdup has been security funds to complete the renovation of the entire adobe house and to return it to its original condition and setting. Phase two of the Master Plan is in place—needing only the funds to get on track. The Osuna Committee and Osuna Adobe supporters are attempting to raise funds to complete the work through their Osuna Amigo pro-
gram, but have had limited success. It has proven to be very difficult to raise funds given the current economic conditions. Not only are available funds decreasing but the number of organizations needing assistance for other worthwhile projects, is increasing. As you may know, the construction of the Osuna Adobe and the issuance of its land grant in 1831 is considered to be the first in Southern California so it is very disappointing for me to see that nothing is currently happening that will address restoration of our adobe — especially disappointing considering the large financial investment our Association made to save the adobe almost six years ago. This site is truly a jewel in the rough and has the potential to be a real community asset and something that is truly unique in California history. I feel that any investment today will generate benefits that will enhance our community for decades to come. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them.

RSF Association election schedule set
RSF’s Andrew Burgess claims crown at La Costa tournament
The RSF Association board selected its nominating committee members at its Dec. 1 meeting, beginning the process for its May elections for directors. Two three-year seats will be up for grabs — those currently occupied by Jack Queen and Dick Doughty, whose terms will be expiring. The nominating committee is tasked with recruiting candidates and they have until March 9 to submit their candidates. The ballots for the election will go out after the Annual Meeting (the night of Thursday, May 10) on May 11. Voters have 30 days to log their vote and election inspectors will count ballots on June 12.
La Costa Resort & Spa recently hosted a talented field of junior golfers for the 36-hole International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) tournament. The South Course, which will play host to the 2012 LPGA Kia Classic, proved to be a tough test for all participants. Rancho Santa Fe resident Andrew Burgess won the Boys 15-19 Division after carding a tournament total of 154. Burgess created some breathing room after a score of 4-over-par 76 on Saturday. His round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 17th hole. On Sunday, Burgess knew he would need to avoid the big number on his scorecard to take home the title. He did not make worse than bogey all day, even with the windy conditions. Burgess’s victory is his first this season with the IJGT. Going into the final round with a six stroke lead did not affect Burgess’s attitude towards Sunday’s round. “I wanted to play the same way I was and keep the ball in play,” said Burgess. Many of the competitors will look to showcase their skills one more time in 2011 when the IJGT travels to Temecula Creek Inn the weekend of Dec. 10-11. The event will be an IJGT Major Championship with players earning double merit points for their respective finishes. For more information, call (800) 792-9143 or visit www. IJGT.com.
Forum addresses possible creation of county arts council BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Temporary lane closure on Lomas Santa Fe Drive starting Monday, Dec. 12 Starting on Monday, Dec. 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., there will be temporary lane closures on Lomas Santa Fe Drive due to construction. At various times throughout the project, each lane of Lomas Santa Fe Drive will be closed. The location of the project is approximately 550 feet west of the intersection of Las Banderas and Lomas Santa Fe Drive.
Because only one lane at a time will be closed, traffic will be allowed in both the east and west directions during construction. Construction is expected to last approximately threefour days. Please use alternative routes if feasible.
Could San Diego someday join the other metropolitan areas of California in forming its own county arts council? That was the question of discussion Dec. 1 at a community forum held at Solana Beach City Hall. Hosted by Art Pulse, an arts services organization with a mission to support the health of the arts countywide, the forum featured two arts council veterans — Arts Orange County executive director Richard Stein and former Arts Council of Long Beach grants director Ed Fosmire — who shared the models that made those arts councils successful. “We don’t have to invent anything,” said Art Pulse Executive Director April Game. “There are working models that we can implement here.” San Diego County is the only metropolitan area in the state that doesn’t have an official arts council. There is a working Commission for Arts and Culture that serves the City of San Diego, however, there is not an entity that unifies the “arts ecosystem,” as Game calls it, which encompasses the many cities around San Diego. Of the 58 counties in California, a total of seven don’t have an arts council. Of those seven, four are in the central valley and have low populations. Remaining are San BernaSee COUNCIL, page 24

Q&A
‘Top Thinker’ devoted to helping people have a better life Dr. Marshall Goldsmith has recently been recognized as the “Most Influential Leadership Thinker” in the world at the Thinkers 50 Conference (sponsored by Harvard Business Review). He was also listed as the “#7 Greatest Business Thinker” in the world in the global bi-annual study sponsored by Harvard Business Review. Other acknowledgments include: American Management Association – top 50 thinkers and leaders who have influenced the field of Dr. Marshall management over the past Goldsmith 80 years; Institute for Management Studies – lifetime achievement award (one of two ever awarded); Wall Street Journal – top 10 executive educators; Forbes – Five most-respected executive coaches; Economic Time (India) – top CEO coaches of America and Fast Company – America’s preeminent executive coach. Goldsmith is one of a select few executive advisors who have been asked to work with over 120 major CEOs and their management teams. He is the million-selling author of numerous books, including New York Times best-sellers “MOJO” and “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There,” a Wall Street Journal #1 business book and winner of the Harold Longman Award for business book of the year.
1.) What does being named a “top thinker” mean to you? Being named as the #1 Leadership Thinker in the World means a lot to me. It is a nice external validation and recognition for 34 years of work in my field. This recognition was given by the Thinkers 50 and sponsored by the Harvard Business Review. These awards are given out every two years, involve input from thousands of people and are taken very seriously. Along with being the #1 Leadership Thinker, I was listed as the #7 Business Thinker. 2.) 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. 3. 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.
• • • •
4. 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. 5. 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.) 6. 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.
R A N C H O S A N TA F E LA JOLLA MAMMOTH LAKES N A PA V A L L E Y
7. 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! 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Life is good. Be happy now.

The Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine sits on a prominent site next to The Salk Institute. PHOTO: JASON A. KNOWLES/FENTRESS ARCHITECTS
Unique hub for stem cell research opens doors 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 researchers and associated staff will take up residence.
A Place for Fun... T. Denny Sanford stands outside the center bearing his name on Nov. 29. PHOTO: CAROL SONSTEIN
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. SEE HUB, PAGE 23

CCA’s dance program to present ‘The GREEN One’ The GREEN One, complete with witches, flying monkeys, straw, tin fur and rubies, is a new take, created by Rayna Stohl, on the characters of Wicked and the Wizard of Oz. This amazing show will be presented by Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Dance Conservatory on Dec. 7, 8 and 9 at CCA’s Proscenium Theater. Pascal Rodriguez, who dances the character, Elphaba, takes the audience on a ride filled with twists and turns. Elphie discovers that the Wizard, who represents all that is wrong with her world, is her father. She embarks on a journey to end his reign. Along the way you see her friendships with some new friends, as well as some familiar ones like Glinda, the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man. You experience her struggles to show human love to her son, Liir, and her ease in loving creatures such as flying monkeys. “The GREEN One examines misperception, the abuse of power, the strength of familial ties and the beauty of compassion and equality,” explained Rayna Stohl, coordinator of CCA’s Conservatory and Envision Dance Programs.

Mimi Guarneri, M.D.
Profile
Early tragedies influenced career choice of cardiologist nationally honored for leadership in integrative medicine 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 diagno-

sis. 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 mid1990s, Dr. Guarneri inserted thousands of coronary stents into heart patients. “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 life-saving 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
Dr. Mimi Guarneri. Photo/Jon Clark 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 cofounded 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. “We believe that health
is continually influenced by how we live our lives and 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.”

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.

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.”

CANDIDACY continued from page 1 home office, O’Hara spends his days reading voraciously and writing about national affairs, and he said he’s concluded that the U.S. political system is broken. Politicians, 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. “The system has gotten out of control,” he said. “What we need, I think, is an independent voice to 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 cam-
T.J. (Terry) O’Hara Photo/Jon Clark paign 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 “irratio-
KITCHENS/BEDROOMS/BATHS
nal” 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.
WHOLE HOUSE RENOVATIONS
EMAIL continued from page 1 Where the Association may run into a snag is with their legal requirements as a homeowner’s association (HOA), “(E-mail communication) seems quick and easy and then you start thinking about each detail and it becomes more complicated,” Green said. Legal requirements for HOAs are “extensive and complex and also evolving,” Green said. Certain documents can be delivered by e-mail if the recipient has agreed to that method of delivery. “However, some people tend to disregard emails so ground mail is still a pretty good option for really important documents,” Green said. RSF Association Director Eamon Callahan said one of their biggest concerns in using e-mail will be security. He said the Association should look into a security expert to review and monitor the system. RSF AsO’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
ADDITIONS
sociation Manager Pete Smith said the Fairbanks Ranch Homeowners Association has used Constant Contact since 2007 and has not had any issues with the system, although the security component was included in the board’s direction to staff. The board also discussed the appropriateness of using e-mail for emergency information, with most agreeing that it was not the best method to share urgent messages. Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said for emergencies, texts sent to cell phones are probably the best way to do it — texting is a method used by the county’s Reverse 911 program and by the Fairbanks Ranch HOA. “We’re constantly thinking about how to tell people what’s going on,” Wellhouser said, noting that during the September blackout, many agencies turned to twitter and Facebook as a way to spread information. Wellhouser has links to sign up for the Reverse 911 program on his blog at www.rsfpatrol.blogspot.com 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.

of San Diego; engineering firms Hope Engineering, 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 patient 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 sci-
entists 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. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

BY GREG GRUZDOWICH I’ve stopped going to recent SFID (Santa Fe Irrigation District) Board meetings out of frustration. I read in the Nov. 23, RSF Review that our water rates are going up 6% in January and probably another 10% in one more year. I also read that the main reason stated for the increases is the cost of imported water. But what is the whole story? Looking at past estimates, only about a 3% rate increase would cover the cost of imported water at current usage levels for 2012; so why a 6% increase? And according to the RSF Review article, the General Manager stated that even more “free” water from our reservoir was planned to be used versus importing more water, so a rate increase of less than 3% should cover our increased water cost. What’s really going on? Based on earlier information, only about 60% of past rate increases was due to the increase in the cost of imported water… therefore 40% of rate increases went towards other expenses. I guess saying that the main reason for the rate increase is higher imported water costs is technically correct, but why no mention about the other 40%? Also, I believe the reason that only two people showed up for the rate increase meeting is because the public (ie ratepayers) never received a courtesy notice of the rate increase agenda item. It appears that the SFID board was able to avoid sending a notice to individual ratepayers because they approved a three year increase plan at last year’s meeting. This multi-year rate increase approach seems disingenuous at best. The SFID Board is in Denial The fiscal reality is that our small water
district is struggling under the weight of a lavish pension system that has not been structurally addressed, premium healthcare plans, insufficient reserves to cover projects including our reservoir, and high overhead. Our longtime board members created many of these problems and have been either unable or unwilling to make the tougher fiscal decisions that are necessary for the fiscal sanity of our district. And when one board member suggests that we “use our AAA rating to float a bond,” I cringe. How does he think the interest costs on any new bond will be paid without a continual rise in rates? Our reality is that we cannot afford to continue as a small district with all of the above fiscal burdens. In the spring of this year, several of us pleaded with the board to consider a zero-based budgeting approach and only consider the increasing cost of imported water; they refused. Fiscal prudence requires a significant modification of our cost structure. Even that may not be enough to continue long term as a separate water district. Consolidation with our contiguous water districts is our only real long term structural solution to lowering costs. We Need New Board Members & Management Unless you pressure several of the current board members to resign from their entitlement rich positions before their terms expire, we’ll need to vote in new members at next year’s election to get real change at SFID. We could also use a new frugal General Manager who can lead us back to meaningful financial prudence.
What are the plans to address issues impacting RSF? For over one year the entrance to beautiful Rancho Santa Fe on Via de La Valle has continued to look like a third world country with piles of rubble and weeds. It is shameful and after work began on the Coast to Crest project there’s been no work, leaving an environment of disgrace. Shame on the county for allowing this to continue. I was shocked when I read that the County Fair has been extended for two more days in 2012. This past summer was impossible as the Via de La Valle exit was shut down due to the excessive traffic. One Saturday evening, my guests spent two hours sitting on I-5 North before creeping to the Lomas Santa Fe exit. I just read an article in the Rancho Santa Fe Review that this traffic nightmare is going to be mitigated. How? Overflow parking is accessed on Via de La Valle and Camino Real, unless that is not used with some other parking, this will be another summer from hell. What are the plans for both of these issues impacting Rancho Santa Fe? Joy Glenner

She said finding private sources of funding would be most viable, however, other options include: implementation of a tax; state, local or national grants; contracted services; fundraisers; and earned income.

Review: Community Concerts of RSF’s season off to a great start with first concert The Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe opened its 2011 -2012 season on Nov. 18 with an amazing entertainer and artist, Anna Wilson. Her appeal demanded that more chairs be added to the audience before the show began and each remained occupied to the very end. Dr. Jack Wheaton, an accomplished conductor, composer, musician and music critic (also a RSF resident), was kind enough to review the concert and provide his critique which follows. The CCofRSF Board thanks Dr. Wheaton for his generosity in reviewing the concert.
BY DR. JACK WHEATON This first Community Concert was right on! This group — from Nashville — was entertaining, exciting and creative. The city of Nashville today is THE place to be. Where else would you be able to birth a hybrid like Anna Wilson and her ensemble — Country, Blues, Jazz, Pop, Rock? Anna Wilson is a Country, Jazz, Pop Singer, with a slight Southern accent and a natural stage presence, who m.c’d and introduced a fast-moving program, floating from pure country to blues and main-stream jazz to personal pop songs of her own composition. From the moment she walked on stage she kept things moving and had a care-free and appropriate sense of humor. Accompanied by four very talented musicians, whom she introduced early in the evening, on piano, bass, drums and electric guitar (her husband Monty Powell), she went right to work, making the audience feel “good” and upbeat. As a vocalist her pitch was impeccable, her diction excellent, her range and tone-of-voice — more than appropriate for the music she was singing. Her range, tone, etc. was reminiscent of one of the great modern jazz-singers today, Nancy Wilson. Anna opened with a great, bluesy familiar (to jazz fans) tune called “It’s My Life.” Another early song was “You Can Depend on Me,” a fairly so-
phisticated jazz song. She mixed up her musical numbers nicely, flitting from country to jazz to blues and back again with fluidity of the great Mississippi River in the springtime. As the evening progressed, Anna mixed more familiar pop and jazz standards like “Fly Me To the Moon,” “Fever,” “On the Street Where You Live” (from the Lerner and Lowe Musical, “My Fair Lady,”) and Burt Bacharach’s early hit from the movie of the same name, “Alfie.” Anna, knowing she had the audience in the palm of her hand reached way back for an audience-pleaser, Cab Calloway’s “Hidee Hidee Ho!” and encouraged the audience to join in and they did. Her pianist had an awesome technique and sometimes challenged Anna for attention. Other members of the band performed well, but the pianist — was a major artist on his own, a smart move for Anna to have someone that gifted as an accompanist and soloist, allowing her to catch her breath. Clearly she supports his talent and recognizes the gifts he brings as an enhancement to the musical caliber of this group. After a short intermission Anna returned and turned the piano-player loose who did everything to the piano except set fire to it... an amazing performance. She balanced all this with some great old country songs. When it came time to end the program one could think of no better a closer for this concert than Ray Price’s country-standard, “For the Good Times. A wonderful evening and a great start for this season’s concerts. Please join Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe for the remainder of the season, three delightful evenings with your friends and neighbors.

Innovative Integrated Science Curriculum needs parents’ financial support When most parents of school age children were in school, the science curriculum prior to high school consisted of little more than textbook learning. Some middle school students worked on year long projects that they displayed for parents at a back to school night. Science wasn’t much fun until students got into high school and had labs which were more interesting. Students at the R. Roger Rowe School are fortunate to have an Integrated Science program that is crafted to honor the best practices of traditional and innovative education. Students are exposed to a wide variety of science experiences. This would not be possible without the generous $1M grant from the RSF Education Foundation (RSFEF). Contributions from all Ranch School families are necessary to maintain this rich and unique curriculum. The grant funds unique programs like Science Discovery Day (SDD), the Tech 21 Lab, and the Scripps Ocean Partnership (SOP). 20 Years of Learning Science Like a Scientist Each year in April students at the Ranch School participate in Science Discovery Day (SDD). “It is a wonderful day in which students K-7 experience multiple hands-on science workshops all day long. Workshops range in topics and students learn about everything from animals to engineering, physical science to earth science, etc. It is a day meant to expose kids to all aspects of science in a fun and exciting way,” noted Science Teacher Elena Colvin, who coordinates Science Discovery Day. “Our 8th graders take on a leadership role that day and lead the other grade levels to each workshop and act as guides and assistants during the presentations.” This is our 20th year for SDD. It was originally started by Superintendent Lindy Delaney, who was a science teacher at the time. She wanted to set up this day in order to allow all kids to take part in science, not just those doing special science fair projects. Last year, there were 36 different presentations. Each grade level rotates through 5 workshops throughout the day (Kindergartners go to 4 workshops due to their shorter day). Workshops are led by community organizations and science specialists as well as parents. Each year the Rueben H. Fleet Science Center and the San Diego Aerospace Museum participate. “We also have parents who do an amazing job leading workshops - some workshops are parent created and some are workshops that we do each year. Examples include: “Magnificent Magnets”, “Diving Into Density” and “The Eyes Have It”,” noted Mrs. Colvin. “Science Discovery Day could not exist without the support of our amazing parent volunteers. It is a fantastic
EQUESTRIAN continued from page 1 Reed’s passion for horses was reignited. Because at that point Reed was working full time as a paralegal for her lawyer husband, Mike, she wasn’t able to dedicate her time fully to equines, but “I rode when I could,” she said. Post-retirement was a different story. Reed bought her first horse in 1993, a 6-year-old nicknamed Mikey. “He was my favorite horse ever,” Reed recalled fondly. “He was a beautiful gray Arabian, just as pretty as Joy. He and I were in love. He would put his head on my shoulders, take a (gentle) hold on my sweater or skin, and blow in my ear.” Reed started showing Mikey in 1994, and four years later they participated in their first nationals.

We are lucky to have the resources to make science exciting and interactive for all of our students,” she added. Solving Real-world Problems in Lab Builds Teamwork Beginning in third grade, students also have the opportunity to use the Tech 21 Science Lab. This is the fourth year for the innovative Science and Technology Laboratory which houses 20 distinct hands-on modules of study, and also includes the LEGO Robotics classes. Students use, manage, assess and understand technology, as well as, design, build and test products to solve real-world problems. “In the Tech 21 Lab students learn things they wouldn’t learn in a regular science, math or technology class. They have more freedom to do hands-on exploratory thinking outside of the box,” noted Science Teacher Tanya Baumgardner. Beginning this month sixth graders will be doing the module, Engineering Designs for Earthquake Structures. They will study building designs and then construct their own designs to test them on the shake table. This builds on their Earth Science curriculum where they are studying earthquakes. The fifth graders have just completed a bridge building competition. They learned why we build bridges the way we do and what architects go through. Then they research and write a design to then build their own. Third and fourth graders use the LEGO WeDo software to build and program robotic LEGOS. Mrs. Baumgardner added, “The exposure is something new; Tech 21 Lab is all about the ability to create something and think about the reasoning behind it.” Working in the lab environment builds knowledge beyond the science curriculum. “There is a lot of team building that goes on in the Tech 21 Lab. In the lab the students are always working with a partner and this helps them become active members of our learning community,” combegan in 2007, Reed had just taken some Arabian show horses to Stachowski Farm in Ohio. “It just came upon me stealthily,” she said. “My mom had died, my other trainer left me (moved), my favorite horse died — I just felt completely detached from everything, I just didn’t care about anything. I became emotionless.” Feeling disconnected with the world, Reed’s first visit to the hospital was around Christmas 2007. She was in and out of the hospital four times in nine months. “She is so joyous and a passionate person,” said Dolly Toler, a longtime friend of Reed’s who works with horse trainers. “To see her not care about anything was hard.” Reed said she tried all kinds of medications, but nothing worked. She finally
turned to shock treatments, which she initially resisted — she was afraid that with electroshock, she would lose her memory. “I didn’t lose a single memory about my life,” Reed said. “In fact, I’m better now than before. I lost my fear — now I’m not afraid of anything.” It was after the shock treatments when Reed started feeling some emotion again. “You don’t realize that you got better until you have a tiny bit of joy in your life,” she said. “Suddenly, one day I got a pang when I saw my grandchildren. Also, I couldn’t cry when I was depressed, and I’m a huge crier. When I saw ‘Marley and Me’ on TV, I thought, ‘I’m coming back!’ ” Meanwhile, Toler and another friend, Michelle Harris, a nurse practitioner, kept working with Reed.
mented Mrs. Baumgardner. 20-Year Tradition of Ocean Celebration and Education Each year students at the Ranch School have a year-long Ocean Study that is integrated into the core K-8 curriculum. It incorporates marine habitats, field studies, visits to Birch Aquarium and Scripps Institute of Oceanography and visits from science researchers. Each grade has a habitat they study for the year such as ponds, rocky seashore, sandy beaches, wetlands, or kelp forest. Their habitat is integrated into other subject areas such as social studies, language arts, or art so that students gain a broader understanding of the subject. Roberta Dean, an Ocean Literacy Specialist from the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, leads the partnership with the Ranch School. She leverages cutting edge research from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in the Ranch School program. Mrs. Dean offered the following example of how the third grade habitat is integrated into their curriculum. “The look at wetland habitats in the third grade MARE curriculum integrates beautifully with the social studies focus on Native Americans and the local Kumeyaay people. The Scripps Ocean Program brought in guest speaker Ane Carla Rovetta, a Northern California Native American story teller and artist, who told stories about “the old days…”, and shared the art of tule grass weaving with 3rd grade students. A science lesson on mollusks followed, complete with the making of a detailed “flip book” and actual clam dissection. The clam study was the perfect segue into this month’s visit to the Bataquitos Lagoon, where students will begin their field study on wetland habitats, and have the opportunity to see remnants of one of the Kumeyaay’s “middens”, or shell heap, which served as a kitchen site for our native people when collecting and preparing local clams and oysters.” The year long study culminates with Ocean Weeks. This year marks the 20th year for this event. “It is a tremendous commitment by a school district,” remarked Mrs. Dean. “Ocean Science has moved into the main stream at the Ranch School and has a place at the curriculum table.” Your Financial Support Needed In order to continue these amazing programs at the Ranch School the RSFEF needs all parents to contribute to fund the $1M pledge.

“Dolly and Michelle wouldn’t give up,” Reed said. “They kept urging me on and supporting me. Everything I did, they did with me.” During Reed’s depression, she sold her three Arabians in Ohio. Jim Stachowski sold two of them within his own barn — one of them being Joy— so that if Reed decided she wanted them back, the possibility existed. The third horse went to a friend. Back in the saddle again Toler and Harris had a feeling that horses would be key in lifting Reed’s depression. “We knew where her joy and passion was,” Toler said. “She put on a happy face. We’d say, ‘Come on, Helen, let’s go ride.’ Finally, the horses broke through that dark cloud.” “It was slow, arduous
work,” Reed said. “Saturday after Saturday, in the rain, cold, she (Dolly) would drive us (to Temecula). I thought, ‘What am I doing? Why am I not in bed?’ “(When you’re depressed), you have to have someone who really wants to help you, and if you say ‘no,’ they won’t listen to you,” Reed said. Eventually, the opportunity came up to buy Joy back, and Toler showed Reed videos of the mare. Something clicked, Toler said, and once again, Reed owned Joy. As soon as Joy returned to Reed’s life, in October 2010, things turned around rapidly, Toler said. “Horse therapy is really a phenomenon,” Reed said. “Having a warm horse, you look in that big, brown eye ... it really helps. They’re nonjudgmental. There’s such power when you’re on the back of a steed like

Rancho Santa Fe Review thing.” Reed traveled from Rancho Santa Fe to San Marcos several times a week to ride Joy. ”I would not have had all the success that I’ve had if I couldn’t practice, practice, practice,” she said. A happy ending This year’s U.S. Nationals were held Oct. 21-29 in Tulsa, Okla. Reed and Joy competed in an Arabian Country English Pleasure class, in which the horses must look like they’re a pleasure to ride, have perfect manners, and be soft in the mouth. “You’ve got to have luck, work hard, and have a good horse who gives all,” Reed said. She and Joy overcame all obstacles, and brought home their first championship.

that.” The ride of her life Reed started preparing for the beginning of the 2011 Arabian show circuit, and drove to Scottsdale, Ariz., for about six consecutive weekends in January and February, until the start of the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. Reed and Joy began earning points to earn their way into the nationals, and continued to accumulate them through local shows and regionals during the year. Meanwhile, Reed began to rebuild her stable and bought two more Arabians: Lady Ava Isabela, 6, a two-time national champion; and GSF Exclusive, 3. In June, Reed moved Joy to Stachowski Farm’s new San Marcos facility, headed by Jon Ramsay. “He’s got a head on his shoulders that you wouldn’t believe,” Reed said. “He’s so calm and organized, and the horses love him.” “Helen worked really, really hard to get here,” Toler said. “The minute Jon and she got together, she started winning every-

Jim Stachowski rode Reed’s other two Arabians, Ava and Exclusive, and both finished in the top 10 in their classes. Ava competed in the open 1/2 Arabian English Pleasure class, while Exclusive participated in the English Pleasure Futurity. Ironically, one of the horses Reed bred and then sold during her depression was also crowned as a champion at the nationals. RA Alliza, owned by Marlene Leichtfuss, won the HalfArabian Country English Pleasure AAOTR Maturity. “At 67, I feel like I’m 16,” Reed said. “I’m happy, joyous, free — I never knew my life could be so free.

RSF 13-year-old raises funds to save family pets The average 13-year-old might be caught spending their free time surfing the Web, watching movies with friends, or spending their days in the sun, but Maranda Phillips is not your average 13-year-old. Maranda, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, chooses to utilize her spare time to help save local family pets. The results of her efforts are truly inspirational. This is Maranda’s fifth year donating to an animal charity, and her third year supporting the FACE Foundation (face4pets.org). Maranda raised over $1,500 for FACE in 2009 by creating roughly 45 personalized bottles. Last year, Maranda raised a remarkable $3,880 selling around 60 of her homemade decorative bottles and other items to benefit the FACE Foundation. This year, she held her fifth annual Open House on Dec. 4 at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, where she sold clothing, candles and jewelry. Photos/Jon Clark

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.

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, 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 children 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 contributed 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 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-to-school shopping, Kimberly said. Most of the shoes arrive directly at the Clearys’ home, where they are stored until there’s enough to fill a mini-

van, 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 thankful for, because the costs come out of their pockets. 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 they didn’t buy it. It was a real hassle.” 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 longterm 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. It seems to be a perfect fit. For more information, visit www.donateyouroldshoes.org

fter contacting the top dressage riders and dressage ring specialists in the field, local retired businessman Dave Cox developed a professional facility at the Valenti Estate and Saddle Club in Rancho Santa Fe. He researched, then financed what became one of the best dressage facilities in San Diego County. After the ring was built, Cox was its caretaker until his death Sept. 3. On Nov. 19, a memorial plaque in his honor was installed at the dressage ring, naming it the Dave Cox Arena. Original Rancho Santa Fe Saddle Club Dedication ceremony coordinator Rusty White owner Richard Rosenblatt was on hand and Juan Recendiz, Valenti Estate and Saddle Club manager for the dedication of the plaque, designed by bronze sculpture artist CĂŠlou Bonnet, who immigrated to the United States in 1981 from Provence, France. A celebrated rider, CĂŠlou came to California to work for renowned thoroughbred racehorse trainer Charlie Whittingham, then learned the technique of working with bronze from Bill Yancy at the Hammerman foundry in Escondido.

New exhibit has cautions for human behavior Thumbprint Gallery, 920 Kline St. #104, in La Jolla, will present the exhibit, “Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You,” at an opening reception from 5 to 10 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10. The show features pieces by Christopher Konecki and Keemowerks that explore the irony and dark humor of human behavior. Of the premise, the artists write, “We have focused on the symbiotic relationship between mankind and nature. We destroy that which we need to survive. We see our resources dwindling and yet waste more. By drawing this connection we hope to entertain and enlighten audiences, and to some extent do our respective parts, to ensure this future world never becomes reality.” Konecki is a selftaught San Diego artist. His paintings mesh natural images with an unnatural style of acrylic paint and aerosol cans. Keemowerks was born in Manila, Philippines in 1980. He, too, is self taught, and based in National City where he is slowly emerging as a stencil artist. Keemowerk’s style consists of intricate multilayer stencils mainly in black and white. Thumbprint Gallery, which relocated from San Diego to La Jolla earlier this year, is a destination for urban contemporary art. It was founded in 2009 by Paul Ecdao and Johnny Tran with a commitment to further the urban art movement that stems from outsider art, low/new brow art, street art and graffiti, as well as support both established and emerging artists within the genre. “Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You,” will be on display through Jan. 1. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. For more information, call (858) 354-6294.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
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 one touchdown reception. 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 completed 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 27-yard 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, 2325, 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 added 22 assists. The Dons sailed past Chadwick of Palos Verdes 3-0 (2512, 25-8, 25-13) in a Nov. 29 semifinal. 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. Boys basketball: Cathedral Catholic defeated Canyon Crest Academy 7055 in a nonleague game on Dec. 3. Brandon Michel scored 22 points and had five steals to lead the Dons, and Xavier Williams added 19 points and nine rebounds. J.P. Chenevey scored 17 points to lead the Ravens, and Akira Tachiwana added 11 points. The Dons improved their overall record to 2-0. The Ravens fell to 1-1. Torrey Pines defeated Hilltop 67-42 in a Hilltop tournament game on Dec. 3. Garrett Galvin scored 26 points to lead the Falcons, and Joe Rahon added 13 points. The Falcons improved to 2-0 overall.
Cosy Burnett and Jordan Robbins
RSF volleyball players win title as members of LCC high team Cosy Burnett and Jordan Robbins, both RSF residents, played volleyball together at Roger Rowe School the year their 8th grade traveling team won the triple crown. Now they have traded bus rides to Bakersfield to bus rides to Las Vegas and continue to soar to new heights together at La Costa Canyon High School where their team recently took the Southern California Regional Div II Title. The La Costa Canyon High School Girls Volleyball team won their 8th consecutive CIF title. “It’s amazing to be a part of such a great program and an honor to keep up the tradition of winning CIF,” says Cosy. Jordan is new to LCC this year and said how easy it was to fit with the team. “I came in new this year and all the girls were very welcoming and I had 13 instant best friends. It made the school transition so easy.” Cosy and Jordan started playing volleyball together in 2nd grade with the early morning breakfast club at RSF School. Cosy says, “I’m so glad that I was able to be a part of Jackie Mendez’ volleyball team at RSF School. We all learned such great skills and teamwork at a young age.” Jordan agrees and says, “It’s fun that the same six girls who played on Jackie’s team in 8th grade now all play with and against each other at school and club.”

Oceanographer to lecture about deep-sea fragilities
Lessons from the ocean at aquarium’s Sea Days shows
Scripps biological oceanographer Lisa Levin will discuss “A New Imperative for Deep-Ocean 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. Tickets are $8, students/ educators pay $5, with reservations at (858) 534-5771 or aquarium.ucsd.edu
Science, Exploration and Adventure (SEA) Days will bring more cuttingedge information to Birch Aquarium visitors this winter. Three monthly events will focus on current ocean topics with hands-on exploration, special activities, and the chance to interact with Scripps Oceanography scientists. SEA Days also provide an ideal venue for students and Scouts to meet requirements for “Interview a Scientist” or career-day projects. Each program is included with aquarium admission and takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the third Saturdays. Here is the schedule: • Dec. 17: Whale of a Tail. Watch for the gray whale migration from the aquarium’s Tide-Pool Plaza. If spying for whales is not enough, get up close to real whale baleen and learn why these mega marine mammals swim more than 12,000 miles each year. Join Scripps Oceanography scientists as they share stories of their research. • Jan. 21: Third annual Underwater Parks Day. Meet animals that live in La Jolla Ecological Reserve, learn about the importance of these underwater treasures, and explore the best ways to enjoy the underwater parks. Note: There is an Underwater Parks Day Photo Contest. Help the aquarium share the beauty of these “hidden” parks by submitting your photographs of the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park and other marine reserves. Submission deadline: Jan. 6.

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 Defeat Autism Now (DAN) accredited 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 Howard, a Rancho Santa Fe
“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
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 decision-making 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.” For more information about Austin, visit www. nhealth.ca, for more information about Metagenics, visit www.metagenics.com, and for more information about the center, visit www.solanawellness.com or call (858) 7927995.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS SeaWorld offers a Winter Wonderland of fun for everyone
Longtime Solana Beach podiatrist specializes in a variety of foot care treatments BY KAREN BILLING Dr. Jack Reingold can honestly say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanted to be a podiatrist since he was 5 years old. Reingold, who has led Coast Podiatry Group in Solana Dr. Jack Reingold Beach since 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I admired him and wanted to be like him,â&#x20AC;? said Reingold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was lucky to keep moving through medical school and accomplish everything I wanted.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think podiatry is the best area of medicine,â&#x20AC;? Reingold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an instant gratification that others maybe donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in medicine.â&#x20AC;? Reingold specializes in everything foot and ankle: from hammertoes to bunions, minor sports injuries to surgeries at Scripps La Jolla and Encinitas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a pretty mixed practice because the community is so mixed, with people young and old,â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon that a staff member will spend an hour helping someone find the right fit shoe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The store brought the ethics of medicine over to retail,â&#x20AC;? Reingold said, noting they also carry compression socks, arch supports, braces and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a podiatristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream store because it offers every product that we want people to be able to find.â&#x20AC;? Reingold has also created his own skin cream, called Dr. Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of fun because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good product and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so well received,â&#x20AC;? Reingold said. Reingold loves being in Solana Beach, even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often too busy to enjoy his ocean view. He most enjoys working with the people in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people around the coast are educated, interesting people,â&#x20AC;? Reingold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great thing about being a podiatrist is that you can talk to patients while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treating them and develop a relationship thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just rightâ&#x20AC;ŚI often say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat feet, we treat people.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The feet are just attached.â&#x20AC;? Coast Podiatry Group is located at 550 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, suite B. For more information, visit coastpodiatrygroup.com or call (858) 755-6055.

The battle against breast cancer: RSF’s Lili Myers’ story continues The Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk By Lili Myers When I finished the 2010 3-Day Walk and had made the decision that it would be my last time walking, my son stated that he wanted to do the 2011 walk with me and, of course, I signed us up the Lili Myers next day! Shortly after I announced to my team that I had registered for 2011, they too signed up. Eight of us would walk this year. Fundraising was more difficult than in previous years due to strained economic times and the team worked very hard with creative fundraising so that we could all walk together. Every year I have mixed feelings about opening ceremonies and generally I try to avoid them, as I hate to start the first day of the walk by crying at 6:30 a.m.! It is always such an emotional event when the walkers are reminded why we walk. Like the rest of the survivors participating, I do not need a reminder of why we walk. I live with that reminder every day. However, since it was my son’s first walk and I wanted him to experience everything related to the walk, we were there at 6:10 a.m. and as anticipated, I was hugging him and burying my face in his chest, crying by 6:30 a.m. I looked up at him while trying to compose myself and as I attempted to smile I said “There is going to be a lot of crying and laughing.” His reply as he hugged me tightly, “I know mom, I know.” The walk started with the sea of pink moving energetically, particularly those who were doing the walk for the first time. We had two 23 year olds in our team doing the walk for the first time, my son and the daughter of one of my teammates! They clearly did not know what lay ahead. The route is almost the same every year, except for some minor changes due to road work. Seeing our faithful friends (the port-o-potties, the cheer-leading stations encouraging us and thanking us for walking, and the sweeping vans decorated with pink paint and bras) is always fun. I know what to expect and yet, every year feels different. When we arrived in Del Mar, some of our friends were there waiting for us at a corner, cheering and calling our team’s name. Throughout the walk, I seem to find myself focused on the moment and nothing else exists. My husband and daughter joined us along the walk on the second day for lunch and that was a very special moment for me. My beautiful woman-child had organized her study group for later that day so that we could meet up. I was able to share the experience with my entire family. Along the walk, as we crossed the street somewhere in San Diego, there was an assisted living facility with several seniors cheering us along. Some were standing strong while others sat in wheelchairs. As I walked up to them to thank them for being out in the cold encouraging us to continue walking, one nurse pointed to an elderly lady who was standing and smiling and indicated that this lady was a survivor. I walked up to her, I hugged her and whispered in her ear that I too was a survivor. Her face lit up, her eyes filled with tears, she

A few steps more, and I turned around to take a look at her one more time to see her smiling at me and waiving as tears flowed down her face. By the end of the second day and after taking a hot shower, I wondered whether we were going to be able to walk that third day. They were calling for rain on Sunday and after the 2010 walk in the rain, neither one of us was looking forward to doing it again this year. Sunday morning was cold and as we walked, the sun came up. We walked with energy, singing along the way. We broke tradition this year and did not stop in Old Town for lunch but rather had lunch later in the day in Hillcrest, and then continued to the indicated lunch area (cold lunch on the grass with the cold wind blowing) where I went to the Medic Tent to have my knee taped. It was screaming at me! I had not seen Rita, one of my favorite survivors. I met Rita in 2006 when I entered camp at the end of Day 1, and I cannot help but look for her every year. She is dressed as a clown and easy to spot. I worry when I don’t see her. This year, I saw her on the last leg of the walk on Day 3. She was holding her sign “38-year survivor and still clowning around.” As I saw her, I yelled “RITA!!!!” She had a huge smile as she saw me approaching, we hugged, I took a break from walking, and she and I talked. She is my inspiration. I told Rita that it has been five and a half years since I finished treatment, and that I still have those moments when I feel so fragile and vulnerable. Rita smiled and reassured me that this still happens to her too. So as I walked away and as I waived to her I thought to myself that ‘being alive and able to feel’ is a good thing, and it certainly beats the alternative. We were all tired and cold, and as we walked into the holding area before closing ceremonies, it started drizzling. We were determined to stay. Closing ceremonies were very emotional, as they are every year. However, this year we all had a heavy heart. One of our teammates, the other survivor in our group, is undergoing chemotherapy once again and yet, she was there and she had walked, once again. We had crossed the finish line together, once again. So as 3,800 walkers cheered, Babes4Boobs formed a circle, we hugged, we cried together, once again. As I have done in the past, I want to remind you to cherish every day and to enjoy each day to its fullest. Life is very fragile and full of uncertainty. We only have the ‘here and now’ so let us not waste it with petty thoughts and shallow feelings. I wish each and every one of you a very healthy and happy Holiday Season, surrounded by those you love.

Your Family Matters: Meaningful gifts RSF Senior Scene: A Holiday message BY DR. KEITH KANNER With the holidays just around the corner, children and adults alike are struggling to find that “right” gift for a loved one and become concerned with issues such as quantity, quality, degree of personal appreciation, and amount of money available for gift buying in an economy that is tight for many. The giving of a gift for most, however, is intended to be an expression of love, affection and appreciation of others, while the receiver is commonly touched by the thought and investment of the other’s time and thought about the choice of the token. The “right” or most meaningful gift, however, is typically based upon on how well the giver knows the needs, interests, and personality of the recipient. When this type of information is obtained, issues of quantity are replaced with the more important aspect of quality, and the outcome is a benefit for all. The recipient feels as though the giver took the
time to find out what he or she was really in need of or interested in, while Dr. Keith Kanner the giver then feels gratified that their choice was well accepted and appreciated. So, how does one go about obtaining this type of information? Key Points: 1. The “right” or most meaningful gift, however, is typically based upon how well the giver knows the needs, interests, and personality of the recipient. Quality is much more important than quantity. 2. The concern of finance then becomes an important consideration and the giving person must be realistic in what they are able to afford given other gift commitments for their
entire lists. 3. For children giving gifts, they will typically need the assistance of their parents to both choose and purchase gifts for others. 4. It is very important that parents teach their children early about the goals of gift giving — that gifts are tokens of love, appreciation, and an investment in trying to bring some joy to another person. It is not the price of the gift, amount of gifts, but the thought and meaning behind the gift that is the most important. 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.
