High school district considers bond measure this week BY MARSHA SUTTON The San Dieguito Union High School District will consider contracts related to placing a general obligation bond on an upcoming ballot, at the district’s Feb. 2 board meeting. Three items will be presented to SDUHSD trustees Thursday night. All recommended contracts were selected from published Requests for Proposals. The first item is to award a contract to the Dolinka Group of Irvine for financial advisory services. Dolinka was selected out of seven candidates. The board report states that the district is recommending that the board approve Dolinka “to provide financial advisory services related to placing the GO bond measure on the June 5, 2012 or November 6, 2012 ballot.” This is Phase 1. If the GO bond is approved by voters, Dolinka will then provide “financial advisory services regarding the issuance of the bonds” from “the period January 20, 2012 until completion of bond authorizations.” This is Phase 2. The fee would be $20,000 for Phase 1 and $65,000 for Phase 2. Funding for this is listed as “campaign donations and future bond issues.” See DISTRICT, page 22

Flower Hill Promenade upgrade project on schedule RSF residents help organize ‘Passing the Torch of Success’ event BY JOE TASH A $25 million expansion and renovation of the Flower Hill Promenade shopping center on Via De La Valle is moving forward on schedule, and a new Whole Foods market and other businesses could be open by the end of the year. The mall on Via De La Valle, just east of Interstate 5, will be expanded from its existing 112,000 square feet to 173,000 square feet with the addition of new retail and office space and a four-level parking garage at the west end of the property. An Ultra Star cinema was demolished to make way for the new buildings. The center is within the city limits of San Diego, although it is advertised as “Del Mar’s premier shopping experience” on its website. In December, the final legal hurdle to the project was eliminated, when San Diego Superior Court Judge Ronald Prager rejected a lawsuit filed by a citizens group, said attorney Robin Madaffer, who represents Protea Properties, the owner of the shopping center. The lawsuit, filed by Citizens Against Flower Hill’s Excessive Expansion, had challenged the project on environmental grounds. Robert Vicino, a spokesman for the group, See FLOWER HILL, page 22
BY JOE TASH A group of successful, prominent Iranian-Americans took to the stage of UCSD’s Mandeville Auditorium Jan. 29 in an event designed to motivate youth and showcase the accomplishments of the IranianAmerican immigrant community. “Every good thing you do makes all of us look good, there’s nothing too small,” said Firoozah Dumas, a humorist and author of “Funny in Farsi,” urging the young people in the audience to be involved in community service. “You have to invest in excellence. You have to work hard,” said Vali Nasr, a professor of international
politics at Tufts University, author and former senior advisor to the Obama Administration on issues related to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The event, called “Passing the Torch of Success,” was organized by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans,” or PAAIA, and has been held in cities around the country in recent years. Sunday’s soldout event, which drew an audience of about 800 people, marked its debut in San Diego.

ITF tennis event at Morgan Run needs volunteers Morgan Run Resort and Club is one of the venues for the International Tennis Federation’s World Individual Seniors Championship, Feb. 12-19, and they are in need of volunteers to help run the competition. La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club and the San Diego Sports Commission have helped organize the event, which has not been held in the United States for 10 years and has never been held in Southern California. Morgan Run will host the men’s 45 division for the team event and the men’s 45 and women’s 40 for the individual championships. Every site is relying heavily on volunteers, and Morgan Run could really use volunteers for the week of the individual world championships. Volunteers should be tennis players or familiar with tennis, since the duties include court monitoring and match allocation. Lesley Waite, a member of the USTA Senior International Competition Committee, is heading up the volunteer effort and anyone interested in volunteering can contact her at (858) 755-8110 or e-mail lesleywaite@aol.com.

Local woman is more than a helping hand to group of imprisoned women in Peru BY CLAIRE HARLIN In the Andes Mountain of Ayacucho, Peru, lies a prison that is home to more than 200 impoverished women. Some live there with their young children, most are doing time for transporting drugs for minimal pay and all of them have something in common — Martha Dudenhoeffer Kolodny means the world to them. Since 2008, the local resident has been visiting the community of women every few months to monitor not only their well-being, but the success of a business plan of sorts that she came up with on a volunteer trip in hopes of making things better for them. She is the creator of MAKI International, under which she sells the Peruvian women’s handcrafted textiles to bring in money for them. The organization sells products such as scarves, bags and yoga mat straps locally and on the website www.makiwomen.org, and she has thus far raised enough money to install two flushing toilets — to take the place of holes in the floor — in the prison. Kolodny’s efforts started when she visited Ayacucho with a volunteer organization called Cross Cultural Solutions (CCS). Her daughters, 23-year-old Carina and 26-yearold Lauren, had both volunteered abroad at an early age and urged her to take the trip. “I’ve really encouraged my kids to do things abroad,” said Kolodney, adding that Carina went to Cuba at the age of 15 and Lauren flew to Peru by herself with CCS when she was only 17. “One day they said ‘Mom, you keep encouraging us to do this, so why don’t you do this? We’re doing an intervention. You are calling Cross Cultural Solutions and booking a trip before we go back to school.’” Kolodny was interested in visiting Africa, but chose Peru because she speaks Spanish — a skill she has picked up via running a local landscaping business and communicating with the Spanish-speaking gardeners. CCS assigned Kolodny to work in a local prison in Ayacucho — an area that’s still feeling the effects of a guerrilla

She said she made an instant connection with the inmates from day one. “I was anticipating something a little scarier, but it struck me how these women were pretty normal,” she said. “Talking to these women, I didn’t feel any different than if I was talking to my friends [here].” Kolodny said she was saddened to see that the women were given no more than a blanket and substandard food, and she empathized with them. “They did something illegal, but they were also very, very poor single moms,” she said. “They made the wrong decisions but for the right reasons.” Kolodny said she felt compelled to make things better for these women. “When I first went there the whole injustice of it was
burning inside me. Then it was like, ‘Well, what can I do?’ I’m not an attorney. It’s not like I can go fight the whole Peruvian system.” She considered using her landscaping skills to help the women start a community garden, but changed her mind when she took note of their incredible embroidery and knitting skills. “When I saw them knitting, I began trying to think of something they could knit that my friends [here] would buy,” she said. Kolodny began buying the women high-quality yarn, and bringing crafts like stuffed animals and scarves back to sell. The knitted pieces have raised enough to install toilets in the prison, and now Kolodny has begun thinking about the women’s future after incarceration and implementing educational programs that focus on art, reading
and writing. “We are trying to equip them with some skills so they don’t have to go back to the drug trade,” she said, adding that her work in Ayacucho has made her more aware of daunting global societal problems. “It’s just so overwhelming sometimes, but it’s what I can handle, especially with my landscaping business,” she said. “What I’m doing is so small. It’s a tiny drop in the bucket. But my daughters tells me, ‘It may not be much globally, but you mean the world to these women.’” MAKI is embarking on a new line of vibrant, hand-embroidered yoga mat straps that could be a hit in yoga-centric North County San Diego.

RSF Education Foundation to hold Scholars’ Circle Evening The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation will host a special evening on Saturday, Feb. 25, in recognition of Scholars’ Circle level donors at the RSF home of Laura Barry. The event will be held from 6-9 p.m. The festive Mardi Gras evening is sure to be a “spicy” night filled with music, food, wine and fun. Guests will enjoy amazing New Orleans-style cuisine prepared by The Flavor Chef. A DJ will provide musical entertainment to add to the fun. There will also be a few surprises during the evening, but we’re putting a “mask” on the party details. Grab your beads as you won’t want to miss it. This event is generously underwritten by the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation’s community partner Wells Fargo The Private Bank. Scholars’ Circle members continue a tradition that began in 1997 when a group of 25 Rancho Santa Fe school families came together to provide considerable funds to supplement the RSF School District annual budget allowing for an enriched public education. Today’s Scholars’ Circle is made up of parents and members of the Community who pledge $35,000 or more, usually over a three-five year period. Getting multi-year pledges of a significant level is important as they allow the RSF School District to more accurately
plan and make staffing and program commitments to provide a “Five-Star Education.” The funds that The Education Foundation provides to the RSF School District, $1 million this year, are used to support the “Five-Star Education” programs, over half of which is spent to help the district meet its small class size objective of 20 students or fewer per class, grades K-8. The rest of the monies fund teaching specialists across Science, Spanish, Art, Athletics, Math and Music in addition to special programs such as Integrated Science, Differentiated Math and Literacy Excellence from the Columbia University Reading & Writing Program. The volunteer co-chairs for this invitation-only event are Lynn Frank and Jason Davis, and organizers are Pamela Dirkes and Jennifer Davis. For more information about Scholars’ Circle or this event, contact Allison Oppeltz at admin@rsfef.org or call (858) 7561141 ext.208.

RSF Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary teams up with Henry’s Fund for its 16th Annual Gala On March 3, the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary will proudly host its 16th annual fundraising gala and provide sponsors and attendees with an evening of fabulous cuisine, amazing silent and live auctions, the comedy of Dennis Miller, and dancing until midnight — all in support of Rady Children’s Hospital, Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders! The gala committee draws its inspiration and title sponsorship from 9-year-old Henry Reif and his parents, Tracy and Leo Spiegel, founders of Henry’s Fund. Their journey in support of the Peckham Center began with a relatively simple surgery: 8-year-old Henry Reif was having a tonsillectomy. Surgery went well. Upon being discharged, the doctor gave a standard warning for tonsillectomy patients: although bleeding was rare, occurring in less than 1 percent of all cases, if it happened to Henry it must be checked immediately. Six days later, Henry calmly walked down the hallway of his home and said to his mother, Tracy Reif-Spiegel, “Mom, I need to show you something.” Walking into his bathroom, Tracy saw large amounts of blood while Henry continued to cough up even more. Between coughs, Henry calmly stated, “You need to take me to the hospital.” Henry was then rushed to Rady Children’s Hospital. Three weeks later, a battery of tests revealed that Henry had a very rare condition, one that would forever alter the way he lived. Henry had Hemophilia type B. Hemophilia B, also known as Factor IX deficiency, is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a lack of blood clotting Factor IX. Without enough Factor IX, the blood cannot clot properly to control bleeding. Henry is one of only 3,300 people in the U.S. diagnosed with Hemophilia B, which translates to about one in 30,000 live male births. There is little reward for research and drug development and progress in treating the disease has been slow, according to research professionals at UCSD. Henry and his family have to be cautious and prepared at all times because injuries to the head can be life threat-

Living with Hemophilia B also means that Henry misses out on some of the activities he enjoys most: playing football, basketball, soccer and lacrosse. When playing baseball, he’s limited to the mildly safe position of an outfielder. “My disease gets in the way since I can’t skateboard or play most sports, but I deal with it,” said Join Henry Reif, 9, in support of the Rady Children’s Hospital and the Henry. “I’m not scared but my mom Peckham Center. is!” Despite his setbacks, Henry and ening and injuries to his joints can be permanently debiliTracy see Hemophilia not just as a distating unless Factor IX is administered immediately.

Paula McClain
Profile
Tenacity, perseverance pay off for former foster child with bestselling novel about Hemingway’s ‘Paris wife’ Editor’s note: Author Paula McClain was the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society’s Jan. 25 luncheon at The Grand Del Mar. The luncheon series is sponsored by Northern Trust, the RSF Community Center and this newspaper. The upcoming Feb. 21 luncheon will feature Jennet Conant and her nonfiction book, “A Covert Affair: Julia Child and Paul Child in the OSS.” BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For Hadley Richardson, meeting the young, ambitious wanna-be writer Ernest Hemingway while on a brief trip to Chicago and marrying him after a courtship of less than a year was a life-changer that transported her out of a lackluster Victorian existence as a 28-year-old “spinster” in St. Louis, Missouri, to a very different life in the Bohemian Paris of the 1920s. For struggling contemporary poet, novelist and former teacher Paula McClain,
writing an historical novel, a completely new genre for her, based on Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway, and their love affair and marriage during the height of the Jazz Age, has also been a life-changer, or as she calls it, “a game-changer.” McClain was the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society luncheon on Jan. 25 at The Grand Del Mar. Her 2011 novel, “The Paris Wife,” is her fifth book and her first commercially successful book — but what a success! McClain had authored two previous books of poetry (Stumble and Gorgeous), for which she received copies of her own books as payment; a memoir of her life growing up as foster child (“Like Family”) that attracted a scant readership; and a promising 2008 debut novel, (“A Ticket to Ride”) that sold only 7,000 copies. By comparison, “The
Quick Facts Name: Paula McClain Distinction: After years of trying to make it as a writer, Paula McClain wrote a historical novel, “The Paris Wife,” that has become a “game-changer” in her life. The bestseller chronicles the life of Hadley Richardson, the first wife of American writer Ernest Hemingway. Education: B.A. in English and M.A. in English and history from Central Michigan University; and M.F.A. in creative writing and poetry, University of Michigan. Family: Divorced mother of three children, ages 5, 7 and 18, “so basically I have one in kindergarten and one in college. Mind-blowing.” Interests: Reading and cooking Authors she admires: Willa Cather, “in terms of old school,” and lately, she been reading the works of Ann Patchett. Recent reading: “State of Wonder,” a novel by Ann Patchett; and “Cutting for Stone,” novel by Abraham Verghese. Favorite getaway: “I don’t get to ‘getaway’ very often, but recently I revisited Paris to research a new novel and that was incredible.” Favorite TV: “Mad Men” and “Top Chef” Favorite recent film: “Midnight in Paris” Philosophy: “You have to be tenacious and persevere. The world is poised to say ‘no’ to you at any moment and you have to believe in yourself and do what you do anyway no matter what’s coming your way.”
Paris Wife,” now in its 26th printing, made The New York Times’ bestseller list for almost seven months, is being translated into 33 languages, has been optioned for a movie, and has sold close to 700,000 copies. McClain’s novel is a portrayal of love, torn loyalty and betrayal, made even more touching because Hemingway once wrote he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley. We interviewed the author in the library of The Grand Del Mar before she addressed the filled-to-capacity luncheon gathering. McClain was born in Fresno, Calif., in 1965. After being abandoned by her parents when she was 4, she and her two sisters became wards of the California Court System, moving in and out of foster homes in Fresno County for the next 14 years. Fortunately, she and her sisters were not separated, as many foster children often are, she said. “I often think it was a pretty good education for me as a writer, being so uprooted all the time and never really knowing where we were going to go and how long we would be in any placement,” she ventured. “It made me the kind of kid who when I went to a new school, I would go to the library, make friends with the librarian and ask her what I should read. I would eat my lunch in the library. I think I was afraid to make friends. I just became a voracious reader that liked to fall into other people’s lives, other worlds and happy endings. “And I think I’m the same kind of writer. I read for escape and to be swept away. And I think I write for the same reasons.” McClain studied at Fresno City College when the tuition was $50 a semester for three years before transferring to Central Michigan University and working at a nursing home to pay for her tuition and earn an undergraduate degree and a master’s in English and history, followed by an M.F.A. in creative writing and poetry from the University of Michigan. Afterwards, while struggling to make it as a writer, she taught poetry, literature and creative writing for 17 years in New England and Ohio at various colleges and at a private high school. Asked why she chose to write a novel rather than a biography about Hadley Richardson, she said, “It
Author Paula McClain

would never occur to me to write a biography. I’m not a scholar in that way and I’m not interested in writing nonfiction, except for narrative nonfiction memoirs. “What happened was, I was completely lost and looking for inspiration for a second novel because things had not gone well for me as a writer, when I read Ernest Hemingway’s “A Moveable Feast” — about his time in Paris; and in it he writes about his first marriage with incredible tenderness and poignancy, and the story really captivated me. “So I started on this journey to learn more about this woman, Hadley Richardson, and more about their marriage. The more I learned about her, the more I liked her and the more I understood that this was a big idea.” “I think the reason readers really like historical fiction is it gives them an open door into getting a history lesson,” McClain said, “and while maybe they wouldn’t read a biography about Paris in the 1920s, they might read a novel about it, while getting the ‘real deal’ too. “I use the facts on record to represent that world as accurately as I can, given the fact that I’m also inventing things. I didn’t make up any characters, but of course I
wasn’t there in those rooms so I didn’t know what those people said to one another. That’s invented.” She began her research by reading biographies on both Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway, Hemingway’s work from that time, and a treasure trove of their “love letters” that she discovered in The Ernest Hemingway Collection bequeathed to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. Gratefully, she said, Hemingway was a “pack rat” who never threw anything away. She was particularly impressed by the couple’s exchange of letters during their courtship in 1921 — between Hadley, living in St. Louis, and the irrepressible Hemingway, 21, who had been wounded while serving with the Red Cross in Italy during World War I and who was chomping at the bit to return to Europe to further his career as a writer, but found himself stuck in Chicago writing advertising copy for Firestone Tires. In preparing to write her novel about Hadley, McClain said, she felt it was essential that she capture Hadley’s voice — a voice she discovered in Hadley’s love letters to Hemingway. “I could hear her voice and I could also
mimic it.” In Hadley’s letters, McClain said, “Her speech rhythms, her intelligence, charm and sense of humor all come through with clarity and effervescence. I simply fell in love with her, with them both.” Hadley and Hemingway were married in Sept. 1921, and lived briefly in Chicago, living frugally on Hadley’s small inheritance, while Hemingway collected rejected slips. After Hemingway was hired as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star, and Hadley came into a second inheritance, the couple set sail for Paris where they would they became the golden couple in a group of American and British expatriates that came to be known as the “Lost Generation” and included F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound. While their life in Paris, combined with travels to Spain and Austria, provided Hemingway with a rich source of material for his novels, it eventually took a toll on the couple’s marriage. When Hadley became pregnant, they moved briefly to Toronto where their son, Bumby, was born in 1923; and then returned to Paris, where, in 1926, Hadley discovered that Hemingway was having an affair with her friend, Pauline Pfeiffer. Hadley divorced Hemingway in 1927. Even with the failure of their marriage, McClain is convinced that Hadley was better off for having known and loved Ernest. She bloomed as a person and discovered a strength and resilience that she didn’t know she possessed. Motherhood also matured her into a woman with a core and purpose, McClain posits. Hadley Richardson would become known as Hemingway’s “Paris wife” — the way Pauline Pfeiffer became known as his “Key West wife,” Martha Gelhorn as his “Spanish Civil War wife,” and Mary Welsh, his “fourth and final” wife. In 1933, in London, Hadley married Chicago Daily News Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Paul Mowrer, whom she met in Paris after divorcing Hemingway. The couple moved to a suburb of Chicago. She died on Jan. 22, 1979, in Lakeland, Florida. McClain is currently working on her second historical novel about Madame Curie, the discoverer of radium.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
RSF brothers team up to perform as alternative rock band BY KELLEY CARLSON Young alternative rock band Redzone Flares is a triple threat on the local music scene — and not just because three of the members are triplets. The five musicians — John Heintschel of Escondido, Danny Harris of Elfin Forest, and Christian, Nick and Tanner Stiker of Rancho Santa Fe — have the ability to perform multiple instruments. The Cathedral Catholic High School sophomores have also written songs, and all of them can sing. Redzone Flares’ first major performance as a quintet occurred during the 2012 Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon & Half Marathon on Jan. 22. Invited to play through their Fine Tune Academy instructor Fintan Roche, Redzone Flares was stationed on the corner of Palomar Airport Road and Aviara Parkway. “We started setting up at 6 a.m., and the first runner came by at 7 ... he was trucking,” said the triplets’ dad, John Stiker. “The boys played from 7 to about 10 a.m., and had a great time. They have a playlist of about 10 songs that they worked through, and ended up playing all of them at least twice!” “It was a very enriching experience, singing and playing to all these runners ... they appreciated it a lot,” Nick said. And it was the first time John had performed with the band at a major event. “I was excited; I thought I’d be pretty nervous,” he said. “I decided in my mind to go all out.” But Redzone Flares’ members playfully noted that even though
Tanner Stiker on trumpet with John Heintschel on vocals and bass they weren’t running, they were still pretty tired afterward. Despite being a relatively new band, each member has an extensive musical background. The Stiker fraternal triplets started playing piano around second grade, influenced by their mom, Jill, and their dad. “Neither she (Jill) nor I have any musical background/experience, but we knew we wanted to expose the boys to a little bit of everything, which is why we had them start playing piano at a pretty early age, just so they could experience it and see if they liked it,” John Stiker said. “She (my mom) pushed us — but it was a good thing overall,” Christian said with a laugh. “I would call her an inspiring influence,” Nick added. When the Stikers entered middle school, they experimented with other instruments in the school band. Tanner took to the
trumpet and Christian played flute; Nick started on clarinet. But toward the end of eighth grade, they evolved to rock instruments — guitar, bass and drums. Danny — who has known the Stikers since their days as students together at Rancho Santa Fe Elementary School — said he first picked up the guitar about seven or eight years ago, but also played some piano. He admitted to singing on his own time, and cited the band Linkin Park as his main musical influence. The foursome initially formed as the band Did I Stutter, named after a scene from the TV show “The Office,” in summer 2010. Their first performance was on Aug. 21, 2010, at Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub & Grill in Carlsbad, and they indicated that day was a learning experience. “We can reach out to the crowd better (now),” Danny said. John Heintschel, a fellow
classmate from Cathedral Catholic, attended the band’s second performance, on Dec. 3 of that year at the Metaphor Cafe in Escondido. His interest was piqued. He hadn’t played instruments as long as Danny and the Stiker brothers, but had enjoyed music for years. John listened to Jimmy Eat World at a young age, and eventually progressed to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Young the Giant. He started playing guitar around the beginning of high school. “I never took it seriously until a year ago,” he said. “I have a greater appreciation for it ... it’s really hard to do. There’s a lot of complexity (involved).” It wasn’t long after the Metaphor Cafe performance when Redzone Flares — a randomly chosen name that sounded cool, according to the boys — was born. Previously, Danny, Tanner, Nick and Christian would take turns doing vocals, but when John came aboard, he assumed the role of lead vocalist and occasional bassist. Danny rocks out on lead guitar, while Christian plays guitar and some keyboards. Tanner divides his talents among bass, trumpet and drums, and Nick primarily keeps the beat on percussion. Besides attending Cathedral Catholic, the five band members are students at The Fine Tune Academy, based in Solana Beach. Their instructor is Roche, who works with them individually on instruments and voice at their houses, and then together as a band at the Stikers’ home. All of the students at the academy perform in various
Christian Stiker bands, Roche said. “It makes them practice more and take (music) a lot more seriously,” he explained. With Redzone Flares, there’s quite a bit of schedule juggling, as Danny plays soccer for Cathedral, and the triplets and John are active in lacrosse. But when the boys get together each week, they hang out in the Stikers’ “man cave” — described as a small separate structure built for the boys with a TV, Xbox, refrigerator, loft and plenty of room for band equipment. The triplets have discovered the ups and downs of constantly being together. “It has its advantages ... there’s definitely brotherly bonding,” Nick said. “There are definitely pluses and minuses,” Tanner said. “Being in a band and in close quarters ... there’s the constant bickering you’d expect of siblings. “John and Danny could attest to that,” he added with a laugh. Along with all of the practicing — their cover songs include “Kids” by MGMT and “Shake Me SEE STUDENTS, PAGE 22

Oceanographer enlightens locals during Distinguished Speaker Series BY PAT SHERMAN On Jan. 19, world renowned oceanographer Walter Munk shared stories from a career as vast as the oceans he has spent 70 years studying at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Munk addressed a full house during the Distinguished Speaker Series at the La Jolla Community Center for Active Adults on La Jolla Boulevard, formerly known as The Riford Center. Beginning his presentation, Munk shared some of the changes he has witnessed in this area since arriving in 1939 to accept a summer job at Scripps, fresh from earning his bachelor’s degree in physics at the California Institute of Technology. “Scripps had 15 employees, including the gardener,” said Munk, 94. “It now has 1,500.” Giving partial credit to the U.S. Navy for his lengthy career, Munk confided that it was not a love of oceanography that brought him to this area. “That wouldn’t be the truth,” he said. “I was dating a girl at Scripps College and she was spending the summer in La Jolla. Well, that romance did not last, but I fell in love with Scripps and I have been in love with Scripps ever since.”
Scripps oceanographer Walter Munk speaks at the La Jolla Community Center for Active Adults. The director of Scripps at the time, oceanographer Harald Ulrik Sverdrup, took Munk on as a doctoral student. Munk recalled his mentor discussing his belief that scientists had missed “a major problem” related to “the melting processes at the bottom of floating ice sheets.” Munk applied for U.S. citizenship following the occupation and annexation of the German Republic of Austria into Nazi Germany, enlisting in the U.S. Army as a pri-
vate in 1939. He was later excused from service to help with defenserelated research at Scripps, such as the development of methods used to predict surf conditions for Allied landings in North Africa and the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Munk and other researchers determined that there were only a few days a month when weather conditions would be favorable for a landing at Normandy. Though wave conditions turned
out to be very poor, after postponing the attack for 24 hours General Dwight Eisenhower proceeded, believing the Allied Forces would lose the element of surprise if they waited two weeks for the next tidal cycle. “General Eisenhower had the courage to make a decision, and I think it was the right one,” Munk said. Between 1946 and 1958, Munk and his team helped analyze water conditions during the nuclear weapons testing at Bikini Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. The tests included a 180-foot deep lagoon explosion. Munk said he and his crew used the remnants of two cases of beer to test the rise in water levels caused by the blast — nailing beer cans to palm trees at various heights. On March 1, 1954, Monk witnessed the explosion of a 17-megaton hydrogen bomb detonated by the U.S. at Bikini Atoll. The covert blast, known as Castle Bravo, resulted in the most severe radiological contamination ever caused by the U.S. Fallout contaminated nearby islanders and the crew of a Japanese fishing boat. “It was a frightening sight that I have not forgotten after all
these years,” Munk said, quipping: “I was there when we were rained upon, but I haven’t been affected, been affected, been affected.” Munk closed his presentation by weighing in on the topic of global warming and its effect on sea level, the fear his mentor at Scripps had confided in him when he first arrived in 1939. “Between 1950 and 1990, sea level rose at the rate of 1.5 millimeters per year, of which about one-third was due to thermal expansion of the warming ocean and the other two-thirds were not understood,” he said. “I wrote a paper calling it an enigma. … “Now, the sea level is rising at 3-½ millimeters per year and we know that most of the water comes from the melting of the Earth’s glaciers,” he said. “The sea level rise is really scary. … If it goes up a meter (within the next 100 years), which I think it will, 150 million people around the world (will be displaced). The U.S. Navy and other government organizations have accepted that as a security issue.”

Scientist Barbara Sawrey earns a leadership role in the world of chemistry Barbara Sawrey, the eldest of nine children, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. She received her bachelor’s degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, then worked as an indusBarbara Sawrey trial flavor and fragrance chemist before returning to graduate school. She earned her Ph.D. in chemistry jointly from UC San Diego and SDSU. She has been a faculty member at UCSD in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry since 1984, and currently serves the campus as Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education. Sawrey is a member of Board of Governors of The San Diego Foundation. Members of the American Chemical Society, the largest scientific organization in the world, recently elected her to the Board of Directors. Who or what inspires you? The commitment of the UCSD faculty and staff to serving our students and higher education is very inspiring. And my spirits never fail to be lifted by the beautiful views from around town, even when I am carrying out the most mundane chore. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? All eight of my siblings live in Ohio. Though I visit twice each year, it is rare when we can all be together for dinner. So I would invite my five brothers and three sisters for a special event. What is your most-marked characteristic? I would like to think I am known for
my ability to brainstorm issues, and solve problems in a collaborative way. But since people are not necessarily good judges of how they are perceived, I could be far off base. I have been told I am smilingly obstinate. What is your most-prized possession? Most material items can be replaced, but I would say my home is my most prized possession. The location and structure of my home suit me well, and I have a lovely Eastern mountain view to keep me calm. Of course, maybe I should highlight the ticket stub I have from Trevor Hoffman’s 500th save instead. What do you do for fun? I enjoy our local theaters and opera immensely. We are extremely fortunate to have many cultural choices in San Diego. One other special pastime of mine is driving and walking the older neighborhoods of San Diego. There is much interesting variety in the charm and in the architectural styles. What is your biggest extravagance? I make an annual pilgrimage to Arizona to see the Padres in spring training, and I share Padres season tickets with a group of campus friends and colleagues. Describe your greatest accomplishment. My two awards for mentoring women in the chemical sciences. One award is from the American Chemical Society, and the other is from our local Athena, San Diego. I have enjoyed mentoring students, and thereby returning the favor granted to me by the many mentors I have had – the women who blazed the way in chemistry, and the male chemists who supported them and me. What is your philosophy of life? My outlook on life reflects my scientific views — be observant and curious, ask questions, and look for patterns and relationships in what you learn. I am never bored.
‘Bags & Baubles’ event in RSF to benefit FACE Foundation
On Sunday, April 29, from 1-5 p.m., fashionistas will gather at a private Rancho Santa Fe estate for “Bags & Baubles.” Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on a stunning array of new and “gently-loved” designer handbags to benefit the FACE Foundation. More than 200 gorgeous handbags will be available for bid, which begins at 10-15 percent of retail value, so there will be a bag for every budget! The event will also feature exquisite fine jewelry, including designs by Kazanjian Brothers, Yael, and Dodo by Pomellato. Each jeweler will provide at least one item for a raffle drawing, which will also feature a brand new Nancy Gonzalez handbag. Attendees will turn their fabulous fashion sense into dollars and cents for the FACE Foundation, supporting pets in dire need of life-saving veterinary care. Mothers, daughters, spouses and friends are all invited to this elegant affair. Chairs and committee members include: Honorary Chair: Lisa Pavin; Event Chairperson: Missy Cameron; Youth Co-Chair: Maranda Phillips; Committee Members: Lena Evans, Ellise Coit, Gina Jordan, Sherry Kline, Cheryl Passer, Julie Plashkes, Cini Robb, Tiki Spitcaufsky, Lorraine Surnamer, Greg Bellman, and Dr. Rachel Hart. Established in 2006 by veterinarians and community members, The Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) public charity, whose mission is to enhance and preserve the quality of life of animals. In what is being labeled as “economic euthanasia,” beloved companions are left to suffer or are euthanized when their owner cannot afford the often-unexpected cost of life saving veterinary treatment. FACE works to prevent this tragedy by providing financial grants to pet owners in need. www.face4pets.org

could not be reached for comment on whether the group plans to appeal Prager’s decision. Also, the California Coastal Commission voted in September that it did not have jurisdiction over the project, clearing a challenge that had been raised by the commission’s staff in San Diego, said Madaffer. Construction began in July, following a unanimous approval of the project in April by the San Diego City Council. Property manager Rose Jabin said Protea plans to turn one of the new buildings over to Whole Foods in June, and the grocery company will need four to five months to make interior improvements before the store opens to the public. If the store does not open by Nov. 15, she said, the opening will be delayed until after the first of the year, as the company has a “blackout period” over the busy holiday season when it does not open new stores. The project also includes 28,000 square feet of new office space, and 8,900

Down” by Cage the Elephant — they also are beginning to write songs. Danny and John have written most of the lyrics for the original pieces, but each of the boys have composed their own instrumental section. So far, they’ve penned “The Code” and a slow tempo rock song titled “Far From Me.” “They’re great songs that we think really stand out when we play,” Nick said.
square feet of new retail space, said Jabin. “We’re working with those prospective tenants now,” she said. One new tenant, Between the Sheets, has opened in the space formerly occupied by Papachino’s restaurant, Jabin said. The project will also include a facelift for the existing buildings in the center. Current tenants are supportive of the project, she said. “We’re re-signing leases, people are extending their leases.” The new parking structure will contain about 400 parking spaces. “That will provide ample parking for the new uses and other people coming to the center,” Jabin said. The main entrance to the shopping center on Via De La Valle will be expanded to add an additional lane, making it easier for visitors to get into and out of the center, and new landscaping will also be installed as part of the renovation project. So far, the project has not encountered weather delays or other hindrances, Jabin said. “We’re pretty much on schedule.”
As the band grows with experience, they’re gaining more shows and venues.

teach them a little about our community.” Maryam Famourzadeh, also of Rancho Santa Fe, and co-chair of PAAIA’s San Diego chapter, said she has two teen-age daughters. “I want to make sure they grow up proud IranianAmericans.” Another goal of the event — and of PAAIA — is to show the general public in the United States what the Iranian-American community is about, said Palizban. “We are not all terrorists. It breaks our heart, the actions of the Iranian government. We don’t like it, we don’t support it. That’s why we came here,” she said. More than 90 percent of the Iranians in the United States came after the Iran’s Islamic revolution of 1979, and their children have been born and raised here, she said. La Jolla resident Ali Mojdehi, a member of PAAIA’s national board of directors, said the event was designed to do three things: “educate, inspire and empower.”

The second item under consideration on Feb. 2 is the award of a contract with De La Rosa & Company. De La Rosa was chosen from four respondents for bond underwriting services “to assist with drafting tax rate statements for election material, coordinating with financial advisor[s] on bond sizing and pricing, preparing all documentation for bond issuance, guiding the district through the rating process, and marketing the bonds for successful sale.” The district recommends, according to the board packet, that trustees approve the contract with De La Rosa, funded by “future bond issues.” Both of these items are being presented for action and a vote by trustees. The third item, submitted for information only and not for action until the next board meeting on Feb. 16, is for the selection of “public information and ballot measure preparation consultant services.” According to the board report, “staff issued a request for proposals for campaign (information) consulting services on December 13, 2011 in anticipation of placing a Proposition 39 General Obligation bond measure on a future ballot for future fi-
That sentiment was echoed by Aref Tehranian of La Jolla, president of the Iranian Student Association at UCSD. The speakers, said Tehranian, would share “the inspirational and motivational ideas that brought them here, and pass them on to the younger generation.” Actor and comedian Maz Jobrani, a founding member of the “Axis of Evil Comedy Tour,” and Fox 5 Morning News anchor Shally Zomorodi served as hosts and interviewers for event. The featured guests included a business executive, authors, musicians, a philanthropist, and a local physician, Shahram Daneshmand, who started a program called “Miracle Babies” to assist families with infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. San Diego State University student Ehsan Lari said he wanted to attend because he had read about previous Passing the Torch events, and friends had attended a similar event at UC Berkeley. However, because Sunday’s event was a sellout, he was not sure if he would be able to get a ticket. nancing of related facilities.” Staff received five responses and narrowed down the search to Oakland-based Tramutola LLC. According to Tramutola’s Web site, “We have trained a generation of people how to conduct these elections and how to win. We won the first parcel tax measures and the largest bond measures. We’ve guided large and small districts. Over the years we pioneered mail ballot elections, sophisticated polling techniques and developed ballot language that has become standard for the industry.” SDUHSD selected Tramutola “as the proposed campaign consultant,” states the board report. The work as proposed would be conducted in three phases. Phase 1, costing the district $44,500, explores providing “preliminary recommendations regarding the feasibility of placing a local school bond measure on the ballot in 2012.” Phase 2, called Public Information and Ballot Measure Preparation, would cost the district $6,000 per month “if the district opts to place the measure on the November 6, 2012 ballot or $10,000 per month if June 5, 2012 is chosen.” Phase 3 is Post Election Communications, which would cost the district $12,000 to assist the district
“I want to get inspired by their experiences,” he said of the speakers. “I just want to get the feel of what this is all about.” Among the challenges facing Iranian-Americans is the tension between the United States and Iran, the speakers acknowledged Sunday. With the United States imposing economic sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, and some political leaders even talking about possible military action to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, Iranian-Americans feel the pressure in their daily lives. “It’s a very trying time for the Iranian community,” said Nasr, the Tufts professor and author of the New York Times bestseller “Forces of Fortune.” But in spite of those hurdles, he said, IranianAmericans have much to offer their adopted country, from serving as cultural ambassadors, to careers in government service. “Ultimately if we’re going to be responsible citizens of America, we have to give back and participate in political life,” he said.
in providing “post-election updates on bond-related school projects.” Tramutola services would be paid for “by future campaign donations.” General fund dollars, the district said, will not be used. The board report states that “California law prohibits the use of district funds, services, supplies or equipment for the purpose of urging the passage or defeat of any school measure of the district, including school bond measures.” But SDUHSD trustee John Salazar questioned whether the Tramutola contract, if approved, would inappropriately serve to influence the public to support the expenditure of taxpayer money. The purpose of the GO bond would be to fund what the district says are muchneeded facilities renovations and improvements at SDUHSD’s schools. A plan developed by a Long Range Facilities Task Force recommended upgrades totaling about $400 million, to improve technology and modernize aging campuses. A GO bond would need 55 percent of voter approval. The Feb. 2 SDUHSD board meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at district headquarters at 710 Encinitas Blvd. in Encinitas.

Hearts for Healing
S
everal RSF School and other area students poured their hearts into an art project that has not only produced high quality works of art on canvas, but also benefits many families in San Diego County who require support for their medical needs. The art was created in student workshops headed up by Gerrit Greve, a local professional fine artist. It was then auctioned Jan. 29 at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. The Hearts for Healing art event is the major annual fundraiser for Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD), a private nonprofit community clinic organization that is an integral part of San Diego’s healthcare safety net.

RSF Rotary features Wheelchair Dancers
T
La Jolla Cultural Partners
he RSF Rotary Club recently welcomed Beverly Weurding and William Valencia, the co-founders of Wheelchair Dancers. Accompanied by her partner in life Bruce Race, Weurding said that when she set out to make dancing possible for anyone in a wheelchair, she was frustrated to find only one place in the U.S. that certifies wheelchair dance instructors. When she learned that prize-winning dancer William Valencia was as inspired as she was to make this dream a reality for those in wheelchairs everywhere, they made a commitment to found Wheelchair Dancers. Since its beginning just a few years ago, the dancers have already taught over 85 participants. Classes are free and last for about eight weeks. Currently sponsored in part by the Christopher Reeves Foundation, as well as by Sharp Healthcare, the Wheelchair Dancers would love to continue to grow and expand. Weurding showed excerpts from a documentary made by Sharp Healthcare based on more than 100 hours of footage. Wheelchair dancers may either dance with a partner who is on foot, or with a partner in a wheelchair. About 15 years ago, Wanda Chenier and her family were in a head-on car accident, they rolled four times. Her son had 68 stitches and she has been in a wheelchair ever since. The RSF Rotary Club luncheon was her debut performance in public, and her effortless and graceful dance moves on the floor with instructor Valencia had the club in tears, and then standing up in an ovation of admiration. In the words of William Valencia: “Joy comes from dancing naturally.” Please visit: WheelChairDancers.org. — Bridget Brigitte McDonald, PhD

New local resident and son spread positive messages through ‘Word Rocks’ project BY KAREN BILLING Carol Arêas believes that one way to heal a wounded heart is to go to work on the hearts of others. A foreigner new to the United States and desperately homesick for her native Brazil, the now-local resident started a unique project to spread a little joy. Her project, called Word Rocks, involves inspiring words and phrases painted on rocks and scattered throughout the city in the hope that someone will find them and it will make them smile. “Sometimes the words just fit so perfect in the moment,” said Arêas. “It’s a pleasure for me to do this. The main thing it does for me is to share love and share something positive. It’s sharing happiness instead of me being stuck on loneliness. I’m feeling better because of this, it’s like a therapy for me to prepare the rocks.” Arêas has been in San Diego for a year and while she loves it here, it was hard being in a new country, missing her family and friends. Her husband suggested walking on the beach to help calm her mind and every time she did, she would notice these rocks, smoothed and rounded by the ocean. She started to collect them and paint inspirational words on them for herself. Her collection grew to the point that her son Antonio Monteiro, a fifth grade student, took notice. “He had an idea so nice that instead of keeping them, how about spreading them out and maybe help someone else find a little happiness,” Arêas said. “I’m very proud that sharing was his idea. It’s amazing that a 10-year-old boy was able to think about sharing.” Antonio even came up with the name Word Rocks. Enlisting Antonio as her rock hider, the pair went to work. Arêas collects and paints the rocks and brings a handful with them wherever they go.
With the Word Rocks project, Carol Arêas and her son Antonio Monteiro hope to spread positive messages. Photo/Karen Billing
“It’s cool,” Antonio said of the rocks. “I like to hide them.” Rocks with words like “I will”; “Hope”; “Smile”; and “Life is good” are placed in parking lots, on park benches, hidden in sandboxes. A big Beatles fan, Arêas also uses a lot of Beatles lyrics on her rocks, such as “All my loving”; “All you need is love”; “Come together” and “Let it be.” The Arêas family took a road trip up to San Francisco for Christmas and scattered the rocks along the trip. Word Rocks might have also been found on Hollywood Boulevard. Two months ago they added a label to the back of the rocks that said, “It’s yours” and directed people toward their website to share their experience of finding one of the hid-
den treasures. “‘Love’ and ‘It’s yours’ made such a positive impact, a playful wink from the universe,” wrote a woman named Effie who found the rock in Mira Mesa. The woman wrote that she would be paying it forward, hiding the rock in another spot to hopefully brighten someone else’s day. Another message came in from the mother of a boy named Jayden. The mom wrote that her son, who aspires to be an adventurous archeologist like Indiana Jones, unearthed one rock at the park and was determined to find them all. Two weeks later his mother wrote in to say he found another rock at Target and that it’s really made him believe. “I’m in the Del Mar Highlands Starbucks in San Diego near Torrey Pines High School and I found a rock that said ‘love.’ It made my day! Thank You,” wrote Ellen, who sent a picture of her rock next to her iced coffee. “It’s very nice to see people’s reactions,” Arêas said. Arêas now has volunteers in Canada, Brazil and New York City making and hiding the rocks — her plan to spread happiness and positive messages stretching even farther. “My deepest desire is when you find one of the stones, you find the perfect words in the perfect time,” Arêas said.

Museum of Contemporary Art hosts exhibit by ‘Prince of Prints’ See nearly 40 years of work by San Diego’s John Baldessari BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT San Diego’s John Baldessari has been called “arguably America’s most influential conceptual artist,” and at age 80 is still in demand all over the world. In the past year or so, he’s had shows in Sydney, Milan, London, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles, where he lives. Starting Feb. 5, his work will be featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla in “A Print Retrospective from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.” On display will be more than 100 pieces selected from the array of lithographs, etchings, photogravures, aquatints and silkscreens Baldessari created between 1973 and 2010. The exhibit, originally shown in San Francisco in 2009 and now traveling around the country, is the largest offering of Baldessari’s graphic work ever assembled. It is part of the massive holdings of Jordan Schnitzer, an Oregon businessman/philanthropist whose collections comprise more than 5,000 prints by Baldessari, Frank Stella, Jim Dine, James Rosenquist and other major contemporary artists. His donations to the University of Oregon’s Art Museum have been so significant that the museum was renamed for him in 2005. Baldessari is no stranger to MCASD. In fact, his first exhibition, in 1960, was at the “Art Center in La Jolla,” now known as MCASD-LJ. His last solo show there was in 1997, but a number of his works remain in the museum’s permanent collection. Though he started out as a painter, best known for his provocative “word pieces,” he burned all his paintings in 1970. As part of his “Cremation Proj-

Since then, his projects have included artist’s books, videos, films, billboards, public works, and of course, prints, often embellished with colorful cutouts and altered photographs. His signature style in all media is witty and experimental, and he continues to expand the field of printmaking in his own unique ways. “Though John is primarily identified as a conceptual artist, he was one of the first to take photography as a serious medium in the 1970s, and his use of photography and text combine naturally in printmaking,” said MCASD Director Hugh Davies. “And printmak-

ing, like photography, is a very democratic medium, which he likes, because he can make multiple examples, so more than one person can own a piece.” Also on display will be a sampling of Baldessari’s works from the museum’s collection, including two of his early word paintings. But the main attraction is the Print Retrospective, which Davies called one of the most exciting traveling shows around today. “Jordan Schnitzer is a very passionate and generous collector who focuses on prints and really cares about the artists and cherishes their work,” he said. “Aside from, possibly, John himself, he’s THE collector of Baldessari prints, so we’re very proud to have the exhibit here.”

Scenes from 1940s San Diego and ‘old-school’ advertisements can be seen on the dining-room walls.
Make it Milton’s when you’re in the mood for deli-delicious BY KELLEY CARLSON ilton’s RestaurantDelicatessen offers the nostalgia of 1940s San Diego, with a fresh food selection of classic cuisine. Owned by David Levy and Barry Robbins, Milton’s features more than 200 items on the menu alone, appealing to everyone from ages 3 to 93. And that doesn’t even include all the deli selections. “We bake our own breads and pastries on the premises, and we import our meats (from Chicago) and fish (from New York),” Robbins said. “The portions are very generous.” When entering the establishment, customers have a chance to feast their eyes on the deli’s offerings and the green-neon Milton’s sign. Meats hang over display cases filled with additional cold cuts and seafood; corners are filled with baked goods, while colorful pastries abound. There’s an array of beverages, from specialty coffees to Dr. Brown’s sodas. And naturally, Milton’s-brand items are available for purchase, including multi-grain crackers, bread and preserves. Turn right and enter the restaurant for a step back in time. Black-and-white pictures of cars, people and businesses from the 1940s decorate the walls. There also are “old-school” advertisements for companies such as Kellogg’s, and large photos depicting Milton’s fare to entice the customer.

Large, arched windows provide a glimpse of palm trees swaying in the Southern California breeze. Seemingly every breakfast dish imaginable is served throughout the day — from Milton’s Yogurt Parfait with house-made granola and fruit, to Lox Benedict and Cheese Blintzes. For later meals, entrees cover the spectrum, from vegetarian to comfort foods. On the “light” end, try Milton’s Stuffed Tomato or Avocado, filled with your choice of tuna, chicken or egg salad; or the Chinese Chicken Salad. For richer options, consider the Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie, Signature Meat Loaf, Pot Roast served on a bed of rice, or Baby-Back Ribs. And in between extremes are hamburgers with a variety of toppings, hot dogs and bratwurst, and “overstuffed” sandwiches.
Patrons in a hurry during midday can opt for a Brown Bagger Lunch Special with a build-your-own sandwich, pickle, coleslaw and a cookie. From 4 to 8 p.m. Friday to Sunday, Milton’s serves deep-dish, Chicagostyle pizza — a carryover from Levy’s and Robbins’ days as owners of Chicago Brothers restaurant. Still can’t decide what to order? Levy and General Manager Maria Colyer suggest a cup of the freshly made Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup (chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth) and a sandwich with such meats as corned beef and pastrami. Make sure to include a side of homemade onion rings, fries or potato salad. Keep in mind that a complimentary, mini-cinnamon-raisin loaf is served warm on the table every evening and weekend mornings. Children can amuse themselves by playing games and drawing the server on their special menu, which includes kid-friendly meals like grilled cheese and a turkey dinner.

Local members of the “Thoroughly Modern Millie” cast.
RSF students to perform in J*Company Youth Theatre’s ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ Next up for the J*Company Youth Theatre’s La Jolla Playhouse Tribute Season is the charming celebration of the Roaring 1920s, “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” Local theater goers will recall that in 2000 an unknown was literally picked from the chorus to take over the lead and became a star. The La Jolla Playhouse production catapulted this young understudy named Sutton Foster into the limelight and she went on to win the 2002 Tony- award for this role and has gone on to win several more. A star turn might be in the cards for 14 -yearold Celia Tedde, a standout in the 2010 J* Company production of 13. Tedde, a student at the High Tech High Media Arts, has been working on her tap for months and claims to be ready to take on Sutton Foster! Surprises are also in store for audience members with a keen eye as the always inventive director Joey Landwehr has infused the cast with celebrity cameo appearances by iconic characters that added the “roar” to the 1920s, including Dorothy Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Gershwin Brothers, Josephine Baker and more. All performances take place at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla.

High energy and high anxiety steer ‘The Recommendation’ BY DIANA SAENGER LET’S REVIEW How many times have we said something to a friend that would come back to bite us? That’s what happens to three young men in Jonathan Caren’s “The Recommendation,” which is premiering at The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre through Feb. 26. “The Recommendation,” contains a brief fight scene and lots of profanity. However, Caren’s imaginative plot and astute dialogue create funny, tense, conventional and yet unexpected moments that travel a winding road and remind the men of a father’s quote, delivered as he patted his heart, “Everything you need (in life) is right here.” The curtain rises on bright, charismatic and quick-on-his-toes Aaron Feldman (Evan Todd) who has, not only attending Harvard to his credit, but also the Ivy League Brown University. He’s anxious to make his mark as a filmmaker, and somehow after all
Aaron and Iskinder become roommates in college, but while Iskinder wants to buckle down and study hard to become an attorney, Aaron sets his sights on planning lots of parties. One night, as Aaron is making a store run, he gets pulled over for a traffic infraction and thrown in jail where he meets Dwight Barnes (Ji-
monn Cole). Dwight is a chameleon; one minute playing nice to Aaron as he sizes him up and learns more about him, the next minute switching personalities to scare Aaron to tears with fear of what could happen to him if he gets moved into county prison. Transition to a few years
later after Iskinder has a successful law career and even ends up defending felon Dwight in an effort to lessen his jail time.

the schooling isn’t quite sure how to go about that. He befriends Iskinder Iudoku (Brandon Gill), the son of an Ethiopian, who warns him when setting off for his career, “be wary of a man who offers you the world.”
On Saturday, Feb. 4, from 6-10 p.m., Hands United For Children will host a fundraising gala at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. Though much of the proceeds will be designated toward the organization’s current preschool building project in Burkina Faso, West Africa, Hands United For Children will also be presenting its first U.S. project, building a charter high school for underprivileged teens in the southeast San Diego neighborhood of Skyline. The commitment will also assist in sustaining specific programs such as free meals, free uniforms, free after-school activities and free bus tickets to alleviate obstacles in the way of under-served teens. The organization has a new force behind them to rejuvenate its mission with a team of champions led by Executive Director Agnes Barrelet. She and her energetic, passionate board have the gumption to show the public how education can create an exit out of the cycle of poverty, from Africa to the United States to Latin America and beyond. “I finally spend my days doing what I believe I was
brought to earth to achieve; bringing education to children lacking the opportunity, creating a difference and making the world a better place. By educating the youth, we reduce the crimes and the wars we see around the globe. I introduced the art because I strongly believe art helps bring beauty into the lives of all. Our event encourages young artists to be engaged as part of a solution to educate. This is the key to our success. At Hands United for Children, we mean what we say and we do what we promise,” stated Barrelet about her purpose and position at the organization. The evening will consist of a cocktail reception, a gourmet three-course dinner designed by Executive Chef Jesse Frost, a live auction, a raffle for an eight-day safari and an art showcase of West African and local artists. Tickets: $200 per person or $1,600 per table (8).

It’s time to quarterback a winning Super Bowl soiree The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Tailgate parties will be heating up from Boonville to Gary, making a pit stop at 500 South Capitol Ave., Indianapolis this Sunday, 6:30 Eastern Time. Roughly 70,000 stalwart Super Bowl attendees will be cozying up under the retractable dome of the $720-million Lucas Oil Stadium. Frigid temperatures outside, the field turf will soon sizzle as hot and hunky quarterback stars — New England’s Tom Brady and New York’s Eli Manning —
bandy their football prowess with halftime punctuated by an iconic tight end – Madonna. For the remaining 151.6 million fans, it’s highdefinition homebound when friends coast-to-coast share in the Big Game camaraderie and gustatory orgy. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest grilling day of the winter season, along with the second largest food consumption day of the year, losing out to Thanksgiving. With just days to go ‘til the XLVI extravaganza, it’s time to strategize a creative and healthful game plan if you’re hosting a shindig. Organize a regional potluck incorporating the cuisines of New England, New York and Indiana. For a New York state of mind, culinary cultures merge into a melting pot of American, Latin, Italian, Greek, Cuban and Jewish deli. Try black bean chili with plantain chips and mango salsa; lighter, leaner, turkey, chicken or lamburg-
Patriotic Red, White and Blue Bean Chili This all-American dish is a winner for any event. Ingredients 1/2 can red kidney beans 1/2 can white navy beans 1/2 can black beans 1 pound lean ground turkey 1 red pepper, diced 1/2 medium red onion, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, diced 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon oregano 1 bottle amber lager beer 1 can or jar (28-ounce) pureed tomatoes 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate Sea salt, cracked pepper, Tabasco Method: In a large skillet, heat half the oil on medium and add the turkey. Cook thoroughly, about 10 minutes, strain with a slotted spoon, transferring to a bowl. Heat the remaining oil and sauté the oners; do a football field pizza – fill a rectangular cookie

ion, pepper and garlic until tender. Add cumin, chili and oregano, chocolate and beer, stirring until the liquid thickens. Add turkey and tomatoes, and cook on low, partially covering until the chili thickens, about 45 minutes, adding beans the last 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Tabasco, and garnish with red, white and blue toppings–roasted red peppers, white onions, Greek-style yoghurt, blue cheese. Serve with tortillas.
sheet with premade pizza dough, marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella, replicating the field of play with chopped broccoli and green
peppers, the end zones with black olives and crumbled Italian chicken sausage, pepper strips for goal lines, onion rings for yard mark-
ers, and mozzarella sticks for goal posts. Serve turkey pastrami sliders topped with pickle chips, and shake up New York-inspired libations like a Long Island Iced Tea or a classic Manhattan. Some light and lively New England eats might include a seafood or corn chowder or chili, lobster rolls with New England– style hot dog buns, turkey or roast chicken subs or grinders, Boston baked beans, and for your just desserts New England apple, rhubarb or blueberry popovers. Quench that Big Game thirst with crisp apple cider or cranberry cocktail, local New England lagers and ales like Samuel Adams or geographic-appropriate libations as the Cape Codder. For Hoosier cuisine, die-hard carnivores should at least choose organic pork tenderloin and grass-fed ribeye steak for the sandwiches, Stromboli with goat cheese, corn on the cob and air-popped popcorn along with persimmons pies, blending northern and southern Indiana faves.

In each of the one-hour episodes, the participants undergo a transformation not only of their bodies, but of who they are as individuals. “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” will chronicle each participant’s journey in a stand-alone episode as they go about reclaiming his or her life.

Grauer School Robotics Team earns awards qualifying for World Championship The Grauer School Shockwave Robotics Team won a first place team trophy at the “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Tech Challenge” (FTC) at the Los Angeles Regional Championship Tournament on Dec. 10, 2011, as well as capturing the Inspire Award, the highest award offered in the competition bestowed upon the team that exemplifies advancing robotics awareness and assisting other teams well as excelling in every judged category for robot design and operation. These two awards achieved during the first competition of the season have qualified them to compete in the FIRST World Championships to be held April 25-28, in St. Louis, Mo. The Grauer School team has three rookie members this year, who contributed to the win of both awards unprecedented feat in recent history at the LA championships. This year’s Shockwave team includes Alex Guy (’12), Cameron Shaddle (’12). Stephen Linam (’13), Keenan Jones (’13), Jacob Hertz (’14), Jacob Baizer (’15), and Craig Kimball (’16). According to Grauer School Robotics Team parent and mentor Mary Linam, “The judges said during the awards ceremony that they felt they had to give both awards to Shockwave due to their overall strength with the greatest influence being their willingness to help any team at the meet with challenges they were facing with their robots. Our students were jumping in with teams helping them construct and program throughout the championships.” A few examples of the work that led to the awards include: Alex Guy built the drive train, machined custom parts and completed the vast majority of all the programming. Alex logged over 100 hours of work outside of class in the first three months of the season. Stephen Linam was the lead builder and driver for the robot. He practiced relentlessly to become adept and master the sensitive controls needed to navigate around the field, pick and flip crates, collect racquetballs and score, and many other critical functions of the robot. Jacob Baizer built a superior magnetic sensor from scratch rather than the “standard” one provided by the competition – making the Grauer School team the only one at the competition that could score the special “magnetic” balls. Shockwave was to compete in January at the San Diego FIRST FTC Championships but has agreed to cede their opportunity to compete in their hometown to allow a new FTC team that was on a waiting list have the opportunity to compete. Shockwave will be there to mentor and help that team as well as any others that night need a hand that day.

Quilted Beatles homage comes to Visions Museum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Over the years, The Beatles have been honored by film, stage, and musical tributes, but probably never before in the medium of quilts. On Feb. 3, the small but mighty Visions Art Museum will present 43 pieces in homage to the Fab Four at an artists’ reception, part of the monthly First Friday event at Liberty Station. “Magical Mystery Tour” is the theme of this year’s “challenge competition” from Canyon Quilters, a University City group that includes many of Visions’ members. The challenge: To come up with a 14-inch-square quilt inspired by the Beatles. Judy Warren-Tippets, a local resident who is also a Visions board member, was pleased to have her “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” chosen for the show. “At first, I couldn’t come up with any ideas,” she confessed. “But when I went online and found a list of their song titles — they wrote about 200 songs! — my memories of the tunes came flooding back. And ‘Lucy’ sounded like so much fun for an art quilt.” Fun is definitely the key word for this exhibit, which promises to be a real crowd-pleaser. “The quilts are whimsical, the artists are local ... What’s not to like?” said Visions Executive Director, Beth Smith. But wait ... there’s more. There will actually be three shows and a total of 118 quilts on display at Visions. “Art Meets Science” is a traveling exhibit of 35 quilts by artists from eight countries, inspired by such unlikely subjects as binary fission, the RNA of microscopic worms, the anatomy of the swine flu virus, and computer-generated images of fractal geometry, which scientists use to describe chaos in the natural world. These beautiful quilts from SAQA (Studio Art Quilts Association) are anything but chaotic, and will have you contemplating scientific issues in a whole new way. Last but not least is a display of 4O, 12-inch-square quilts from the Del Thomas Collection. Del Thomas, who has lived in Southern California since the 1950s, started making quilts as a child in Oregon.
‘Imagining Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds,’ a quilt by La Jollan Judy Warren-Tippets, is part of the Beatles homage at Visions Art Museum,

A strong and continuing supporter of Visions, she will be honored by the museum at the exhibit’s opening by having the main gallery renamed for her. Judy Warren-Tippets said she’s looking forward to seeing all the quilts on display. “It’s interesting that we’re doing the Beatles show, because art quilting hadn’t yet developed when they were performing,” she said. “It really started to emerge in the 1980s, but now it’s a huge category, and it’s thrilling that we in San Diego have a world-class art quilt venue and that Visions is on the map in the international art world.”

een Volunteers in Action held one of its two annual parent luncheons last week, to conduct business, socialize and welcome a guest speaker. Nearly 90 mothers of teenage boys attended the event, including three past presidents of the volunteer organization. Attendees were loaded with donations for San Diego’s Karen refugees, which TVIA president Barbara Edwards said “make a huge difference” in the lives of the children. The featured speaker for the luncheon was Jim Cahill, developer of MindfulnessBased Biofeedback Therapy and an expert on stress management for all ages. Cahill discussed the causes of stress, the difference between “eustress” and “distress,” and presented some alarming statistics about stress in the lives of teens. Although “stress is medicine in the right doses,” Cahill said much of the stress in our daily lives generates panic and anxiety rather than healthful motivation and stimulation. Cahill said one in three children is estimated to suffer from stress, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, that 15 percent of high school students have considered suicide and 11 percent of those have actually created a plan. Stress in teens results in a depressed immune system, increased irritability, depression, and impairment of memory, motor skills, alertness and concentration. Cahill offered tools for managing stress, which included first to recognize the signs of stress, create more down-time which he said is “not just doing nothing,” spend more

time in nature, have media blackouts, get more sleep which he said is particularly important for teens who are chronically sleepdeprived, and volunteer more. Helping others, he said, reduces stress. Cahill, whose Web site is http://cahillmindbody.com/, said biofeedback provides instant feedback on elevated stress levels and is a way to control negative responses. Serving the north coastal communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff, Encinitas and Carlsbad, TVIA is an organization of young men in grades 7-12 who are committed to community leadership through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy, charitable service and personal growth.

and Brahm’s “Symphony No. 1 in C minor.â€? • Verdi’s opera “The Force of Destiny,â€? was based on a Spanish drama “Don Ă lvaro o la fuerza del sinoâ€? (1835), by Ă ngel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas. The story is one of love and bloody revenge featuring a young nobleman who has fallen in love with a woman whose father prohibits her from marrying him. The opera was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1862. The overture is a favored concert opener. • Deyoe is a composer, conductor, and guitarist born in Colorado.

Deyoe has said he strives to bring together noise, delicacy, drama, fantasy, brutality, and flexibility of intonation in his music, which has been performed in the Canada, Switzerland, Germany, France, Iceland, and Japan. “Still getting rid ofâ€? is orchestrated for soprano, mezzo-soprano, and orchestra, and the vocal parts were written for soloists Stephanie Aston and Leslie Leytham, both DMA candidates at UCSD. • Adams’ “The Wound Dresserâ€? was written in 1989 for baritone Sanford Sylvan. It is a setting of excerpts from Walt Whitman’s 1865 poem about his experience nursing the wounded during the Civil War. The music conveys the grim and vivid imagery of the poem, but with compassion and, ultimately, hope. Toward the end, a solo trumpet (Jens Lindemann), sums up the somber military mood. Baritone Michael Blinco will join the La Jolla Symphony for this performance. A graduate of Chapman Conservatory, Blinco is active with the San Diego Opera and Bach Collegium San Diego, as well as local community music outreach programs. • Brahms began work on what would be his first completed symphony in the early 1860s and worked on it right up to (and after) the premiere on Nov. 4, 1876, when the composer was 43. He was only too aware of the example of Beethoven’s nine symphonies and of the responsibility of any subsequent symphonist to be worthy of that example. Brahms may have

10 days of movies: The 22nd annual Jewish Film Festival BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For 22 years, San Diego’s Jewish Film Festival has been presenting movies from all over the world about different facets of the Jewish experience. And now, even more than ever, you don’t have to be Jewish to find a movie to love. This year’s selection includes films from 15 different countries, including heartwarming dramas, romantic comedies, incisive documentaries, and a special free program of short films from emerging directors. There are films that deal with the coming together of opposites: young and old, straight and gay, deaf and hearing, left-wing and right-wing, Jews and Muslims. There are films about historical events, not only the Holocaust, but also the Soviet purges of the 1930s and the virtually unknown long march from Ethiopia to the Sudanase border in the 1980s by thousands of Ethiopian Jews hoping to immigrate to Israel. There are bio-pics about Gustav Mahler and Jascha Heifetz, each so full of music it’s like going to a concert, and the not-so-musical lives of Henry Kissinger, Tony Curtis, and Otto Frank (Anne’s father), as well as the lower-profile Polish Catholic priest who discovered and set out to reclaim his Jewish roots. There’s a Teen Day, featuring “Kaddish for a Friend,” a film chosen by the festival’s teen-age focus group, and there’s a Family Day for preschoolers, featuring “Shalom Sesame Street.” Want a few laughs? See “Jews in ‘Toons,” with a special appearance by Mike Reiss, writer/producer for “The Simpsons.” Or “Jewish Food For Thought,” a series of animated pieces about life with his physicist father by Hanan Harchol.

(Israel) ‘Prima Primavera’: A Don Quixote-ish man witnesses a violent robbery and flees from the robber’s revenge, with his unlikely companion, a young gypsy girl with a questionable past. (Hungary/Bulgaria/UK/Netherlands) ‘The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector’: Genius or madman? Time Magazine called this documentary about the childhood, career, and murder trial of the music man who created the legendary Wall of Sound in the late 1950s, “A psycho-profile you can dance to.” (USA/UK) “Our theme this year is The Power of Hope,” said Sandra Kraus, who has been the festival’s producer for the past five years. A longtime member of the local arts community, her background includes event planning at MCASD-La Jolla, designing costumes at the La Jolla Playhouse, and directing shows at the JCC’s Garfield Theatre and other venues. “We believe we have an obligation to remember and honor the past, but we also believe it’s important to move forward and provide hope for the future,” Kraus said. Which means not so many films about the Holocaust, unless they’re really unique. And more films about disparate people discovering their commonali-
ties, like the growing friendship between an orthodox Jewish boy and the son of a prominent imam in Brooklyn (“David”), or the comically complicated relationship between a mild-mannered Israeli professor and a spicy Mexican salsa dancer (“Salsa Tel Aviv,” shown in collaboration with San Diego’s Latino Film Festival.) The selection committee consists of 12 members, plus Kraus. They have their tentacles out in all directions, soliciting submissions, reading reviews, traveling to other Jewish film fests. (There are currently 80 of them in the U.S.) In April, they start screening films for the following February. “We already have 50 films waiting for next year,” Kraus said.

Your Family Matters: Stop whining BY DR. KEITH KANNER As parents, we are all familiar with those frustrating moments when our children whine or complain when they sense something inside of them does not feel right. Whining stems from two different sources: Physical or emotional. From the physical side whining will emerge from as early as 2 and run through adolescence and is related to physical discomfort which usually is not psychosomatic but actually due to some sort of illness or pain, such as fatigue. The second, and most common cause of whining, is emotionally based and cause by frustration related to having to do something they do not wish to do. Excessive whining is common and normal in the 2- to 4year-old age group as these children are trying to break away from their mother and strive towards independence. Whining is one of those child behaviors which tends to drive parents “nuts” for it is very annoying, and creates anger inside of the parent. Conflicted with common guilt over the parent’s anger, how the parent then responds to the whining will
Dr. Keith Kanner
have significant effect on the outcome. Most children who excessively whine either have very strong-willed temperaments or have found effective ways of “getting to their parents” in a way that perpetuates their “whining habit.” On the other hand, all children will whine periodically and is something that all parents must accept. The challenge, however, is how to best intervene when your child “whines up” and there are certain tactics that tend to work better than others. 1. Accept that your child will whine from time to time. As mentioned, especially with young children, whining takes the places of using words to express dismay about something. 2. Manage your anger
and frustration. The parental attitude is crucial when children act up. Parents who either get too angry or give in tend to produce “habitual whiners.” Calm yourself down, use a soft voice when interacting with your upset child. 3. Find the cause. Parents need to determine the cause of the whining and try to either remove the condition or soothe their child through what is bothering them. Once again, young children do not yet have this automatic capacity and need to take in this attribute by hearing the calming words and clarification of the parent. 4. Talk to your child about what is bothering them in an empathic manner. For example, when your child is whining about having to stop playing a video game to go to school. Tell them that you know they are angry and that having to stop is very upsetting to them and encourage them to use their words to tell you about their feelings. 5. Set limits after expressing empathy. This is the tough part and is where many parents drop the ball. See KANNER, page B26

New Year’s resolutions By Diana WeissWisdom, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Diana, My two new years’ resolutions were to be more productive at work and keep off the 25 pounds that I lost last year. I am so frustrated and unhappy at Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom my progress. Can New Year’s resolutions ever work? Are there some tips you can give me? Thank you. — Chubby and Lazy Dear C.L., If it makes you feel any better, by now, about 50 percent of New Year’s resolutions have already gone by the wayside. And in the next couple of weeks, another 25 percent will follow. Beating yourself up won’t change anything. It will just sap your energy and have you yearning for a sugar fix. Better to reflect on what went wrong and what you could do differently in the future (like tomorrow). There is nothing magical about Jan. 1. New goals can be set at any time. Speaking of which, it’s important to differentiate whether your New Year’s resolutions are goals or wishes. Goals require a structured plan – a step-by-step, one day at a time action strategy. A wish is a hope or a desire for something. Don’t forget that everyone falls off the wagon in some way or other. But each day, the sun rises a new, and we get a fresh chance to do it differently. Everyone knows that to lose weight and keep it off, we have to eat less and exercise more. The reality is that most thin people diet all the time. Of course, they don’t call it a diet. But they keep some track of what they are eating and do so on a daily basis. When most thin people over eat, they take that into consideration the following day. Tips for weight loss and maintenance: 1. Eat less and exercise more; 2. Have realistic goals – slow and steady wins the race;
3. Check your motivation – who are you doing it for? 4. Have a strong support network and be accountable to someone who cares about you; 5. Imagine how you would feel if you were at your ideal weight right now. Then pretend that you are there and practice feeling that way. This exercise helps your mind to adapt this change into your physical reality. Regarding productivity at work: we tend to think that if we are more successful, we will be happier. But in happiness research, the findings have been that success doesn’t increase happiness but rather it’s the reverse. Happier people are more likely to work toward goals, and attract the resources they need. There are techniques and practices you can use to increase your happiness but just like with weight loss they require hard work and commitment. Here are some exercises that have shown by research to increase happiness levels: 1). Think about happy life events for eight minutes every day for three days. In the research, people who did this felt increased life satisfaction four weeks later than they had prior *1 2). Write a gratitude letter to someone who you have not directly expressed your gratitude to – ideally go and read it to them in person. 3). Keep a journal for two weeks in which you write about your activities and then rate your day on a scale of 1-10. Have 1 stand for the worse possible day and 10 as the best day of your life. Look back over your journal and look for patterns between your activities and the score you gave the day.

To Your Health: Improvements in cataract treatment BY DANIEL CODEN, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH It’s inevitable: If you live long enough, you will develop cataracts. The eye condition affects nearly 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older, and by age 80, more than half of all Americans have them. Think of your eye like a camera. When light lens hits your eye, it transmits the light rays to the retina, which sends a visual image to the optic nerve and on to the brain. Cataracts are caused by a build-up of protein in the lens, which clouds the lens and prevents light from passing clearly though it. As a result, vision is affected. As the eye generates new lens cells, the older, damaged ones are pushed into the center of the lens, where over time they create a cataract. There are few symptoms until the cataract becomes large enough to interfere with the light rays passing through the lens. At this point, you may experience symptoms such as cloudy, blurry or filmy vision, problems with glare, double vision, or changes in color perception. If you wear glasses, you may have a change in your prescription. Ironically, if you are nearsighted and develop cataracts, you may find that you no longer need your glasses. In the early stages, such changes may
be more annoying that anything else. However, when vision becomes impaired enough to interfere with activities of daily living such as driving, working or reading, it may be time to get treatment. For years, cataract surgery has been performed to replace the cloudy lens with an implant and restore normal vision. As with most surgeries, advancements in research and technology have improved the precision and safety of this procedure, resulting in faster surgeries, easier and shorter recoveries and improved outcomes. One example is the type of implant used. For decades, the standard monofocal implant was the only option. Because the monofocal implant focused light only at a single distance—either near or far—patients would require glasses to obtain a full range of vision. Recently, a new multifocal implant has been developed that provides both near and far vision and eliminates the need for glasses after surgery. Consequently, patients who needed glasses before their cataract surgery may not need them afterward. Even reading glasses may be rendered unnecessary for these patients following surSee HEALTH, page B26

The Surf boys U8 White team, led by Coach Dave Currie, won first place in the U9 division in the Temecula Valley Shootout Soccer Tournament held the weekend of Jan. 21-22. In the Championship game the Surf boys faced a very motivated and aggressive Legends FC. Surf had just beaten Legends FC 4-1 in bracket play, but in the Championship the Legends U9 team played a completely different game. Legends FC dominated the first half of the game, keeping the Surf defense under constant pressure. The Surf team struggled to establish their rhythm and passing game. Late in the first half a series of events lead to Surf’s first goal. It started with a gamechanging, strong defensive play by Jesus Bazan and a beautiful pass by Elijah Zelkind to Charlie Kosakoff who then placed it in the back of the net. Surf was leading at the half 1-0. Early in the second half, Legends kept up the pressure and powered through Surf to score. With the score now 1-1, a very persistent Ryan Flather blasted down the left side of the field, around the Legends defense, and scored the winning goal with a well-placed, powerful left foot strike. This gave Surf the 2-1 lead and Championship title. Leading up to the Champion game, the Surf team (and their parents) braved the wind, rain and mud to dominate in bracket play the previous day beating the Orange County United Futbol Club 8-2 and The Temecula Valley Hawks 7-1. These games really showcased the Surf boys’ speed and skills which they have been working on diligently in practice. Congratulations Surf Boys U8!

KANNER continued from page B22 Initially setting limits intensifies the child’s whining and anger at the parent (which must be accepted by the parent), but the parent then needs to hold the child responsible for their noted task. This will then eventually calm the child down for he or she will not feel as though they overpowered their parent and will eliminate making them feel guilty. 6. Do not let the whining episode ruin your day. In most cases, once the above mentioned tactics are used, the child calms down, has a good day, and forgets about what happened earlier in the day and may even greet you in a great mood. Don’t hold your breath, however, because there will sure to be another episode of whining in the next hour or two. But, when parents are consistent in how they handle those “whinny times”, the child will learn to talk, rather than act out his or her plight. 7. Whining tapers over time. Like any developmental phase, excessive whining too will subside over time and turn into verbal complaints, which again the parent needs to manage and respond to in the same ways as earlier whining.

When children feel understood and have parents who are both empathic yet firm, excessive whining or complaining tends to reduce in frequency and takes on a normal path of typical childhood and adolescent complaining which as parents, we need to be able to manage and help them through their temporary state of discomfort.

HEALTH continued from page B22 gery. There have also been advancements in the correction of astigmatism, a condition in which the cornea is irregularly shaped. In a normal eye, the cornea is round; in someone with astigmatism, the cornea is more oval-shaped, which can cause vision problems. While traditional implants could not correct this
condition, new toric implants not only correct astigmatism, but also eliminate the need for glasses in these patients. Toric implants, however, may not eliminate the need for reading glasses. In addition to improvements in outcomes, cataract surgery has become far less invasive. The surgical incisions are much smaller than they used to be. In fact, the incisions made in most cataract surgeries today do not even require sutures; the tiny incisions heal on their own within a few days. In the near future, cataract surgery performed with lasers may eliminate the need for blades and incisions altogether. A new laser recently approved by the FDA will create a surgical opening in the eye through which the cloudy lens can be softened and removed. The surgeon then completes the procedure with the new implant. Because surgery is less invasive, recovery time is much faster. Patients no longer need to wear thick, dark glasses to keep light out of their eyes, or lie still for days following surgery. In most cases, patients can now return to their usual activities immediately after the procedure.

Arcana Empothecary moves to Carmel Coldwell Banker websites remain most visited Valley and trademarks a new name among national real estate franchises Having been located within the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla for the past 10 years, Arcana Empothecary ™ has expanded to a larger location on El Camino Real in Carmel Valley. Founded in 1996 by Dr. James Mattioda, a Ph.D. in Integral Health and registered pharmacist, Arcana offers a unique blend of pharmaceutical-grade dietary supplements, homeopathy, and other holistic products and services. As the largest Naturopathic Pharmacy in Southern California, Arcana serves customers, physicians, and other health professionals who incorporate herbal and dietary supplements into their health regimes. As Dr. Mattioda describes, “After over 15 years in business, we were ready for a new phase of expansion. As part of that, we moved our store to a new location that would support our plans for growth.” Previously named Arcana Herbal and Nutritional Pharmacy, the business has also upgraded its name to Arcana Empothecary. At the same time, Arcana trademarked the new term. As Dr. Mattioda explains, “As we were looking to honor our evolution with a more suitable descriptor, we realized there was not one word that accurately described what we offer to people. We wanted to move away from the word ‘pharmacy.’ ‘Apothecary’ felt more appropriate, however, when we looked at the prefix of apothecary (apo), it means
apart, and separate. That is completely contrary to our philosophy of health.” Building on the apothecary idea, Dr. Mattioda’s team brought in the concept of empathy. As Dr. Mattioda states, “Empathy is at the core of our work. We consider each client holistically and sense their individual needs. Our real value to our customers is that we can work with them in a manner most suitable to them and help them through their healing journey.” Equally as important was the concept of empowerment of Arcana’s customers, so as a result, the term “Empothecary” was born. At the new location at 12250 El Camino Real, Suite #108, in one of the Champions of the West buildings, Arcana Empothecary will be expanding its product offerings to also include medicinal herbs and foods. About Arcana Epothecary Arcana Empothecary was established in 1996 with the mission of expanding holistic philosophy by offering to physicians and consumers professional-grade nutraceuticals, homeopathy, herbs and supplements under the direction of a licensed pharmacist and Doctor in Integral Health. Arcana is open to the public and also offers individual health consultations. For more information, contact Alden Domini at 858-755-0288 or visit www.arcanaempothecary.com.
