City proposes ordinance to allow leashed dogs at SB parks BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

According to the Solana Beach Municipal Code, the Coastal Rail Trail doesn’t allow dogs, however, there are waste bag dispensers all along the Highway 101 path and people frequently walk dogs there. That’s just one scenario that prompted the Solana Beach City Council on Jan. 25 to introduce an ordinance amending the law to allow leashed dogs at city parks, including popular dog-walking designations such as La Colonia Park and Fletcher Cove. According to city staff, in a periodical review of city signage, current restrictions were found to be outdated. The revision would include updating signage at parks and making it illegal to walk dogs off-leash. The changes do not apply to city beaches, where dogs are not allowed. “The reality is that people are walking their dogs all the time,” said City Manager David Ott. “It’s a common practice for years and we haven’t taken a stance on it.” He added that it is important that dogs on leashes are controlled.

Study: Red light cameras a success Authorities plan to crack down on drivers using cell phones BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Since the installation of red light cameras in 2004, collisions and violations in Solana Beach have diminished, according to a presentation to the City Council by local law enforcement authorities on Jan. 25. At the request of City Manager David Ott, local law enforcement be-

gan a study on red light camera results about six months ago. Sheriff Deputy Greg McDonald compared data from 2004-2006 — the period following the installation of the cameras — to data from 2009-2011, and the analysis revealed a 60 percent decrease in traffic light violations. In the 24 months reviewed in the 2011 report, there were 358 collisions in Sola-

Citizens appointed to panels BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

The Solana Beach City Council on Jan. 25 made its annual appointments to the handful of citizen commissions that advise the council on topics from art to public safety. The community showed a significant amount of interest in open positions through their applications, however, incumbent commission members led in appointments.

Craig Nelson and Jeff Anerman were voted in to fill two vacancies in the Budget and Finance Commission. Both were reapplying for those seats. Six candidates applied to fill three spots on the Parks and Recreation Commission. Councilwoman Lesa Heebner nominated Lynne Truong, adding that the applicant “has worked so hard already on this commission

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.” The second item under consideration on Feb. 2 is the award of a contract with

Solana Vista gets

Peaceful Playground As of Jan. 27, students at Solana Vista school will enjoy their physical education and recess time a little more, with the addition of a new, resurfaced blacktop offering a number of games and activities. Previously, the space was unpainted and the surface was worn, so parents Helga Fazio and Sarah Hansen-Reeves wrote a grant to the Quest Foundation, which in turn donated more than $45,000 to complete the project, dubbed “Peaceful Playground.” At the event, the school’s student council read a letter of thanks to the foundation and school faculty members, and students presented large and elaborate handmade “thank you” cards.

BOND continued from page 1 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) con-

sulting services on December 13, 2011 in anticipation of placing a Proposition 39 General Obligation bond measure on a future ballot for future financing 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.”

Real Estate Directory

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 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.

Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services for SDUHSD, said a committee would be formed to handle the aspects of running the campaign, should the board adopt a resolution to place a GO bond on the ballot. “It would be led and staffed by volunteers, and all funds used in support of the measure would come from private donations,” Dill said in an email. “No public funds or resources would be used to urge passage of the bond or for any other political activity.” The purpose of the GO bond would be to fund what the district says are much-needed 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.

must be off-leash, such as dog-oriented events, the ordinance can be suspended and permits can be issued to allow off-leash activity. Otherwise, dogs will be allowed on leashes in all scenarios. In the case that people don’t want dogs at a certain event, the city could write a permit to ban dogs for that event, however, Ott said the organizers would have to justify that restriction.

Not to say they aren’t increasing tickets, because we still have violations that are occurring out there, but they are reducing collisions and that would contribute to saving lives and keeping injuries down.” Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts and Councilman Tom Campbell, who serve on the city’s fiscal sustainability committee, met with the Sheriff’s Department recently to better understand the camera program, its methodologies and how the city gets paid. “There’s no question in my mind that it’s a worthwhile program,” Campbell said. Roberts said there has been some confusion about the billings as they are received from the court in regard to the program. “The court text (or billing) we get is all over the board and it makes absolutely no sense,” Roberts

CITIZENS continued from page 1 … I’m so glad she is becoming official.” Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts agreed with Heebner’s nomination of Truong, proposing a slate including Joy L. Brinker and Susan Joan McEachern, a local teacher. The council voted unanimously to appoint those three community members to the Parks and Recreation Commission. “[McEachern] is a school teacher, a very passionate person who’s passionate about the community,” said Roberts. “She’d be a great addition to the already great commission.” Albeit non-elected positions, these advisory committee seats carry significant responsibility and those appointed are considered public officials of a legislative body, according to commission guidelines. “They really are the base of the community through a number of events,” said Heebner, specifically about the Parks and Recreation Committee. “It takes a lot of group effort and a lot of work.” The council voted to appoint four people to the Public Arts Advisory Com-

said. “They can’t document why they sent us $13,000 one month, why they charged us a one-time fee one month … There’s no rhyme or reason to it and we are just trying to find out better from a fiscal sustainability standpoint what is behind this.” Ott said he is working with staff to get some better answers. He also reminded the community and council that the private contractors who provide the cameras don’t issue the tickets; the Sheriff’s authorities issue the tickets. He reiterated that every violation is documented on video, with both the driver and vehicle clearly identifiable. Saro also said authorities can clearly see if a driver is holding a cell phone to his or her ear. “Cell phones are one of the biggest contributors to accidents,” she said, adding that there will be extra added cell phone enforcement in upcoming months. Any cell phone use that is not entirely hands-free is subject to enforcement. mission: Tara Gordon, Mike Swanson, Nicole Selby-Thomas and Allie Dixon. All were reapplying for those seats. “This is probably the most exciting time for public art in the city,” said Dixon, who has served on the commission for six years. She added that she is proud of installing temporary art and entrance monuments at different parts of the city, and she looks forward to exploring how public art can fit in with Highway 101 revitalization. Kristi Day reapplied for a position on the Public Safety Commission, however, she was not able to attend the meeting and Mayor Joe Kellejian spoke on her behalf. “She is very excited about this committee,” he said in his nomination, which was unanimously approved. A new applicant, David Reis, was also appointed to the Public Safety Commission. He told the council that he represents those who are residents but not homeowners. Paul Bishop, David Zito, Patricia Coad and John Scales were all reappointed to the View Assessment Committee.

Accomplished oceanographer shares unique experience, insights 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, 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 oceanographer Walter Munk speaks at the La Jolla Community Center for Active Adults. Scripps and I have been in love with Scripps ever since.” 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 private in 1939. He was later excused from service to help with defense-related 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.”

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. BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For Hadley Richardson, meeting the young, ambitious wannabe 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 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-tocapacity 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 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 SEE NOVEL, PAGE 19

A perfect season: The undefeated Torrey Pines Jr. Midget Falcons win another National Championship It’s been an incredible year for this squad of 19 TPPW Jr. Midget Intermediate cheerleaders. They just ended their perfect season by capturing another “National Champion” title at the JAMZ National Championship in Las Vegas on Jan. 29. This amazing team has danced, tumbled, stunted and jumped their way to first place in all of their five competitions which included two “National Championship” titles. No other team in the history of TPPW has accomplished this magnificent feat. Having a “Perfect Season” doesn’t come easy. This group of 11 - 14 year olds from Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe started on this rewarding journey back in August 2011. They practiced four days a week in August and then three days a week once school started, with many of them taking private gymnastics, as well. It is because of their hard work, dedication to practice and to each other and their outstanding coaching staff that this team was able to achieve such greatness. “It really was a team effort with not only our coaching staff, but all of our parents and volunteers that supported our team throughout the season. It is such an amazing feeling to have accomplished a perfect season and won these National Championship titles. These girls are a group of dynamic and hardworking athletes who really wanted to win and gave it their all at every practice and competition. I couldn’t be happier for our team,” said Head Coach Alicia Smith. Their first win was at the Palomar Conference Pop Warner competition in October at SDSU. They next advanced and won the Wescon Regionals in Long Beach in November, which took them to the

Pop Warner “Super Bowl of Cheer” in Orlando in December, where they brought home the first National Championship title in history for Torrey Pines Pop Warner and only the second time a team from the Wescon region has won. Following their National Championship win, they went on to compete at the JAMZ Cheer and Dance Regional competition in Long Beach on Jan. 15 and not only won first place, but captured the “Grand Championship” title by having the highest overall score of all the teams at the competition. This leads up to their final victory at the JAMZ Nationals held on Jan. 29 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The team competed against 14 other teams from across the nation to win their second “National Champion” title of the season. They performed flawlessly with the highest score and no deductions from the judges. They were awarded not only a huge trophy, jackets, and medals , but they were ultimately rewarded by having a “Perfect Season.” Registration for the 2012 Football & Cheer season is now open. Don’t miss your chance to join TPPW, home of the 201112 National Champion Jr. Midget Falcon Cheer Squad. For information about the 2012 registration, please go to www.torreypinespw.com.

New video depicts in-home program for seniors

Rugby ‘Scrum’ The San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club U14 Boys had two entrants in the Rugby 7’s Tournament held Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. The soggy weather did not deter the Mustangs, who are based in Carmel Valley, but draw players from throughout the County. Both teams made it out of pool play. The Juniors were defeated in the quarterfinals, while the Seniors led 17-7 late in the semi-final match before losing to San Clemente.

Local residents help organize ‘Passing the Torch of Success’ event 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 Iranian-American 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 sold-out event, which drew an audience of about 800 people, marked its debut in San Diego. Local resident Jamile Palizban, an event organizer, said one goal of the forum was “to empower our young Iranian kids and to teach them a little about our community.” Maryam Famourzadeh, another local resident, 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 Iranian-Americans.” 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. (L-R) hosts Maz Jobrani and Shally Zomorodi interview Vali Local resident Nasr, professor of international politics and diplomacy at the Ali Mojdehi, a Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University (the member of PAAIA’s photo on the big screen is of Nasr).

able to get a ticket. “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, IranianAmericans 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, Iranian-Americans 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.

Bell tower gets

warm welcome On Jan. 27, contractors from Baker Iron Works delivered a special gift to St. Leo Mission — a brand new, 4,000-pound steel bell tower with a custom-designed cross — and on Jan. 29 the parish celebrated the monument’s resurrection. A member of St. Leo’s parish and owner of the steel fabrication business, Susie Bruun donated the services and nephew John Bruun steered the project. The cross rang at St. Leo, 936 Genevieve St., Solana Beach, for decades before it was torn down due to termites in 2004.

Shapes Are Chic At Gila Rut Aveda Salon New spring cuts, color and cosmetics Spring hair fashion is shaping up beautifully at the new Gila Rut Aveda Salon in Torrey Hills Center. On the runways and the red carpet, both couture and coiffure take on a ‘confident luxury’ this season – all created with chic, versatile shapes to suit individual style. The Gila Rut salon experts, recently in New York doing hair and make-up for Spring 2012 Fashion Week, make it all happen through the creative blending of cut, color and make-up. Gila Rut salon guests love the fashion update consultation first – and then getting their

own custom look based on lifestyle and fashion personality. Moving into Spring, women will shape up their chic with a variety of hair lengths and layers that bring out their best features. Watch for shapes within the shape to accent eyes, lips and cheekbones…like bangs that bring out beautiful eyes or soft, feathered wisps that frame the face and add a fashion edge. Hair textures range from sleek and smooth to soft waves and curls. Hair is always shiny, healthy and luxurious to the touch. Color shapes the cut and adds to the thicker feeling of the hair. The look of Spring hair color

varies from soft, fine Balayage highlights that blend and balance the cut to an ‘Ombre’ effect that shows a soft shadow play of deeper-to-lighter color dimensions. The season’s fresh smokey make-up hues balance against bright fabrics seen in slice-of-lime green, the new teals, lipstick reds, ‘wow’ yellows and orange crush.

Dental Technology The road to a healthier you By Dr. Curtis Chan

The world of dentistry has never been more exciting with the infusion of advanced dental technology. Going to the dentist keeps on getting better especially at Dr.Curtis Chan’s future and state-of-the-art dental office at Pointe Del Mar. It seems like only a few years ago when you had to agonize at getting your yearly x-rays and had to wait quite a while for the dental films to get developed. I remember how the films never seemed to fit my mouth and sometimes pushed into my gums. Also I remember how long it would take for procedures to take, taking multiple

visits to get a tooth fixed. Times have changed and not only are things more comfortable, easier, but also quicker in dentistry from the use of the advances in dental technology. Are you and your dental health getting involved with the advances in dental technology? Today, dentistry has integrated many of the advances in the computer and digital world and have opened up many avenues to help solve and create better solutions to oral health problems. Digital x-rays have reduced the amount of radiation exposure to patients by as much as

80 percent, yet improved the diagnostic ability to fight dental disease. Replacing missing teeth utilizing digital CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography) , and designing teeth with CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing), have dramatically improved the accuracy in creating natural looking smiles. Dr. Curtis Chan has been serving the Del Mar/ Camel Valley / San Diego area for the last 25 years and is currently building a new state of the art dental office facility at Pointe Del Mar (planned to open in Summer 2012).

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-

DR. He SAID, SHE SAID: Men in therapy By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. My husband refuses to go to couples therapy because he feels it is for Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. the weak and (Dr. He) and M’Lissa can’t imagine Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) how “airing out his dirty laundry” to someone he doesn’t know could be helpful. I’m frustrated because we are really stuck in a negative back and forth with each other, and unless we get some kind of objective feedback, I don’t think we’ll make it. How can I get my husband to see that our marriage is in serious trouble and that seeing a counselor does not have to be a shameful experience? — Gillian Dr. She Dear Gillian: It speaks to the deeply engrained psychological patterns of humans, that in the 21st century, with expanded emotional intelligence and psychological awareness, men continue to feel there is a stigma associated with asking for help in any form. The belief runs deeply in men that they should not show their feelings or talk about their needs because it is a sign of weakness. The societal message to men is that they will be respected only if they are strong, fearless and independent. These ideas strip men of their humanity and force them to put their hearts into the background of their lives. We are all striving for strength, but strength in anything is achieved through balance. Our blind spots--the things we ignore or don’t pay attention to-become our weaknesses. In their fight to be independent and strong, many men do not attend to or learn to manage the whole spectrum of their human emotions, including hurt, sadness, and vulnerability in addition to anger. Unfortunately, this inevitably catches up with them. It is a statistical fact that most men enter therapy during a time of crisis. Usually it is when they have hit bottom, are experiencing a difficult depression, aren’t sleeping, are drinking too much, and have probably passed the point of no return in saving their relationship. Women enter therapy at a more proactive stage because they have been historically wired to be more comfortable identifying and sharing their emotions and have learned that talking through their confusion is a viable way to cope with and manage their emotional pain. I don’t believe that therapy is the only way to learn about and manage emotions, however, I rarely see men engaging with many alternatives that address their emotional worlds. In my role as an executive coach, I do find that men feel more comfortable addressing their relational dynamics in a professional or “coaching” context. In a business/corporate venue, men tend to proactively improve their business relationships by getting feedback from peers and direct reports, strategizing about developmental goals, and brainstorming about how to change the culture they work in to be more effective. Their motivation is to be successful in business. Interestingly, these same principles apply to couples therapy--just directed toward the success of their personal relationship. Although the relationships they have with their spouses are more vulnerable and the emotions are more intense,

the same principles still apply. So, if we can help men to understand that therapy is a form of strategic planning in order to change the culture of their relationship for the better, perhaps the language would feel more comfortable. I think many men feel intimidated to walk into a therapy session because they feel they are walking into unfamiliar territory. I hope you can get your husband in front of a qualified therapist who can help him understand that--while therapy may not be for the faint of heart--it is nonetheless a very courageous endeavor. Dr. He Hello Gillian, Professionally, I can tell you that pretty much every guy I have had as a client over the last 24 years has expressed the same sentiment your husband has. I mention this to hopefully normalize his reaction to your suggestion to enter couples counseling. Because many people still make the unfortunate assumption that therapy is only for “crazy people”, he probably doesn’t want to be seen as being “crazy” as well as not being perceived as weak. This of course makes the point you are coming to us with in the first place, but as Dr. She mentions above, he has probably lived his whole life believing his emotional world has little to no value. To then suggest that he reveal anything embarrassing--like being scared or hurt or sad--to a stranger must confuse and scare the heck out of him even further. Personally, I can also tell you that I myself understand why and how he is feeling the way he is right now about getting into therapy. Growing up with all the messages from family, community, and culture that defined my own masculinity, I can look back and remember how my masculine pride precluded me from being okay with any kind of emotional honesty that would destroy the mask of having-it-all-together that I wanted others to believe about me. However, three realizations helped me get out of my own way: #1. I’m human--which means I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and I have blind spots when it comes to knowing why I do some of the things I do. #2. My integrity as a man is based on me being courageous enough to be accountable for every choice that I make--mistakes, blind spots, and all. #3. If I am treating others disrespectfully, it probably means that I’m not feeling a whole lot of respect for myself (see #1 and #2 above). Bottom line, Gillian, is that it seems your choices are (and I think you should put it to him this way): either avoid couples counseling and let the relationship continue to deteriorate until one of you says “Enough!” and leaves, or he takes the risk of asking for help to learn--for the first time in his life--how to improve his marriage! It would be so sad if your relationship ended without ever having worked on it. I hope he wakes up to the importance of learning how to grow both as a person and as a partner. Best of luck! Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. (Dr. He) and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) are a married couple who have worked together of over 15 years coaching troubled relationships get to clearer communication, deeper intimacy, and healthier partnership.

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 surgery. 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 ovalshaped, 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.

BY GORDON CLANTON Envy is hostility toward a superior, an attitude of resentment toward someone who is better off. Envy is not the wish for what one does not have. It is the darker wish that the superior should lose the advantage that stimulated the envy.

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,

Another face of envy is schadenfreude, malicious joy experienced when the superior loses or fails. A typical envious response is, “If I can’t have X, neither should you.� Envy is condemned in the Ten Commandments, the Seven Deadly Sins, and every religious and ethical system of which we have knowledge. Envy is an inescapably political emotion. Competing political and economic systems provide alternative strategies for managing envy and reducing the damage it does. The left seeks to reduce envy by reducing the inequality that stimulates

envy. The right seeks to reduce envy by ignoring or by justifying that inequality. The left likes to stir up a little envy, thus creating pressure for more equitable distribution of wealth. The right encourages the havenots to convert their envy into emulation — as though we all could be Donald Trump if we worked harder. But in real life most individuals aim most of their envy, not at those at the top, but rather at those who are nearby and whose advantage is relatively small. We are more likely to envy a neighbor with a new car or a co-worker who got a modest raise than to envy the megawealthy and super-powerful.

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. Moth-

erhood 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

When most envy is aimed at the very wealthy, people demand higher taxes on the very rich. When most envy is aimed at nearequals, the demand for more progressive taxation is weakened. Consider some ways in which our envy of nearequals serves to divide us and to prevent progressive political action. “If I don’t have a secure retirement, why should government employees have a secure retirement?� Are pensions to be a thing of the past for more and more of the population? Many young adults do not support Social Security because they have come to

believe that they will never collect Social Security benefits — potentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. “Why should I support raising the minimum wage, if I don’t work in a minimum wage job?� “Why should I care if unions are weakened, if I am not a union member?� Envious resentment of the small gains of nearequals distracts us from the enormous, growing, cancerous inequality that characterizes American society today.

Surf Boys U8 White Team wins U9 Championship (RIGHT) First Row: Charlie Kosakoff, John Billington, Brycen Monjazeb, Ryan Flather, Elijah Zelkind, Jesus Bazan, Wesley Jackson Second Row: Nicholas Carlo, Emir Arellano, Elijah “Coco” Hernandez, Carson Malinowski, Wyatt Gardner, Daniel Karam Third Row: Coach Dave Currie.

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. 2122. 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!

Carmel Valley Girls excel at field hockey The year is still young, but four Carmel Valley Middle School girls already find themselves excelling at field hockey on several different levels. Farah Farjood, Danny Jackel, Gabi Jimenez and Shannon Yogerst, all eight graders at CMVS, tried out and were chosen for the U.S. Field Hockey Futures program. Part of only a handful of San Diego County middle schoolers picked for the prestige program, the four will attend twice monthly training sessions at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. Their Futures coaches include Londonbound U.S. Olympian Shannon Taylor and top San Diego high school coaches. The four girls also play for the CVMS Bobcats field hockey team, which is currently undefeated and in first place in the Big 8 Conference. So far the team has defeated Earl Warren 2-0, Diegueno 3-1 and Oak Crest 1-0 with Jackel, Jimenez and Yogerst contributing goals, and Farjood anchoring the defense. The Bobcats are

Farjood, Jimenez and Yogerst also play club field hockey for the Poway Mystix in the North County Indoor League. The league gives the Carmel Valley girls a chance to test their skills against high school competition and so far they’ve more than held their own, leading the team to a 3-1 record and wins over the Escondido HS varsity, Cathedral Catholic JV and Canyon Crest JV. “Shannon, Gabi and Farah have helped to bring our young middle school group up to the next level,” says Mystix head coach Cindi Lou-Villa. “They bring team work, stickwork and an aggressive intensity that our young middle schoolers have not experienced. Not only are they talented young players but they are a pleasure to coach as they listen, understand and perform as well as many high school players. These three players will have successful high school careers and hopefully collegiate careers as well.”

The planned tournament schedule for 2012 includes the State Cup Presidents division, two college showcases, the Mustangs tournament in Danville, California as well as a return to one of San Diego’s premier tournaments, the Pegasus Cup. These girls have worked hard for their success with commitment, dedication, and sacrifice as the key ingredients.

SECTION B

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 BaldwinWallace College, then worked as an industrial 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 Barbara Sawrey 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 tickSee SCIENTIST, page B18

New local resident and son spread positive messages through ‘Word Rocks’ project

La Jolla Cultural Partners

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-Carmel Valley 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 grader at Torrey Hills School, 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.

David Levy and Barry Robbins are coowners of Milton’s Restaurant-Delicatessan in Del Mar.

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.

Milton’s offers a variety of desserts and baked goods.

Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup features chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth.

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Milton’s Potato Pancakes Meanwhile, a gigantic clock with Roman numerals tracks the hour in the center of the dining room, keeping patrons in the present. 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.

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

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. “Our theme this year is The Power of Hope,” said Sandra Kraus, who has been

It’s All About You, And it’s...

‘Mabul (The Flood)’ a coming-of-age film from Israel, opens this year’s Jewish Film Festival on Feb. 9.

If you go What: 22nd annual Jewish Film Festival, sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation When: Feb. 9-19 Where: Clairemont Reading Cinemas Town Square 14, Carlsbad Village Theatre, Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18, Ultra Star Mission Valley & Garfield Theatre, JCC La Jolla Schedule: sdjff.org Questions: (858) 362-1330 Best Bets: ‘Mabul (The Flood)’: As he prepares for his bar mitzvah, Mabul, the much-bullied son of dysfunctional parents, manages to bond with the autistic older brother he never really knew. (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) 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 commonalities, like the growing friend-

ship 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.

Quilted Beatles homage comes to Visions Museum

Most

ROMANTIC Photo

Del Mar Times, Solana Beach Sun, & Carmel Valley News

CAUGHT ON CAMERA

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 any-

‘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,

Last but not least is a display of 40, 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. Her work has appeared in magazines and various exhibits, and she has collected some 180 contemporary quilts of all sizes

from all over the world, which she frequently lends to museums and galleries, to promote the art quilts she loves so well. 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 worldclass art quilt venue and that Visions is on the map in the international art world.�

knit that my friends in Del Mar 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 so-

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, handembroidered yoga mat straps that could be a hit in yoga-centric North County San Diego.

Next La Jolla Symphony & Chorus concert: Brahms, Verdi, Adams, premiere The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) presents its third concert of the 57th season with music director Steven Schick leading the orchestra and guest soloists in a program of stark and very beautiful drama: Verdi’s overture to La Forza del Destino, Nicholas Deyoe’s still getting rid of (2011-2012 Thomas Nee Commission), John Adams’ The Wound Dresser, and Brahm’s Symphony No. 1 in C minor. Giuseppe Verdi’s opera, La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny), was based on a Spanish drama, Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino (1835), by Ángel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas. The story is a classic 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 part of the standard orchestral repertoire and a favored concert opener. The performances take place Feb. 11–12 in Mandeville Auditorium at UCSD. Concert times are 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Individual tickets are $29 general, $26 senior, and $15 student. Group discounts are available. Parking is free. A pre-concert lecture is offered one hour prior to concert times.
