With imminent release of 2010 U.S. Census, county redistricting process begins By Joe Tash With the results of the 2010 U.S. Census soon to be released, the County of San Diego is embarking on an exercise it undertakes every 10 years — redrawing the boundaries of the county’s five supervisorial districts to equalize their populations. The process — which is required by state and federal law — is both complex and, at times, controversial. The county successfully defended itself against lawsuits over its redistricting process after both the 1990 and 2000 census counts. In 2001, a rift occurred between members of the Board of Supervisors when a majority voted to remove Rancho Santa Fe from District 3, represented by Pam SlaterPrice, and add it to District 5, represented by Bill Horn. Escondido was moved from Horn’s district to Slater-Price’s. The board approved the change on a 4-1 vote, with Slater-Price opposed. For the current redistricting effort, supervisors in February appointed a fivemember advisory committee that will study the census data when it is released April 1, hold a series of public meetings, and then recommend up to three potential maps to the Board of Supervisors. The board is expected to vote on a final map in August. “We’ve set up a process that’s open, transparent and public… to give as much opportunity as we can to have the public participate,” said Nicole Temple, a county staffer who is overseeing the redistricting process. “I think our mandate is

pretty straightforward, to comply with federal and state laws and the county charter and come up with balanced districts,” said Adam Day, a member of the redistricting advisory committee appointed by Horn. While detailed population information is not yet available, according to the San Diego Association of Governments, the population of San Diego County grew to 3.2 million from 2.8 million between 2000 and 2010. According to Horn, preliminary information shows the population will have to be reduced in District 5, which covers a wide swath of North County from the coast to the Imperial County line. Slater-Price’s District 3 includes Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and Escondido, along with the San Diego communities of Carmel Valley, La Jolla and Torrey Hills. According to preliminary information from the San Diego Association of Governments, District 3’s population stood at 659,000 in 2010, the second-highest of the five districts after District 5. In spite of assurances that the redistricting process will be fair and open, some in the community remain skeptical. They point to the fact that all five members of the current Board of Supervisors are white Republicans, and that the current makeup of the board has remained unchanged since the mid-1990s. Horn was recently elected to a fifth fouryear term, and Slater has announced she will run next

Lake Hodges reaches capacity and overflows dam •Santa Fe Irrigation District maximizing local water use for customers As a result of the recent storms, Lake Hodges Reservoir has reached capacity and has started spilling water over its dam. The last time Lake Hodges spilled over the dam was in 2005. Rains from November 2010 to date have created significant inflow to the lake and raised its level to the spillway elevation late last week. Since November, approximately 20,000 acre feet of local surface water have poured into the reservoir from the nearly 250 square mile watershed that drains into the lake. An acre foot of water is enough water to serve the needs of two typical households for a one year period. SFID and SDWD are the only agencies currently able to use Lake Hodges water as a source of water supply. At this time, the district is treating 100 percent Lake Hodges water at the R.E.Badger Filtration Plant, capturing as much of the local runoff as possible to meet consumer water demand for this time of year. Since November 2010, SFID has delivered 1,600 acre feet of water from Lake Hodges for treatment and distribution to the community. Lake Hodges Reservoir is owned and managed by the City of San Diego. SFID along with the San Dieguito Water District (SDWD) have rights to local water captured in the reservoir. The City of San Diego does not currently draw any water from the lake. Once the San Diego County Water Authority’s (SDCWA) Lake Hodges Pumped Storage Project is completed this year, the

San Dieguito Lagoon Restoration Project enters home stretch The San Dieguito Wetlands Restoration Project has entered its final phase of construction with the dredging of 85,000 cubic yards of sand currently clogging the San Dieguito River channel. The five-month dredging project began on Feb. 15 and will remove sand that has built up over the decades in the river to allow for better exchange of water from the ocean to the new nature preserve. Clearing the channel of sand on the east and west sides of Jimmy Durante Bridge will allow an estimated 80 million gallons of water to reach the newly created wetlands during daily tides to make the ecosystem naturally sustainable to support increasing fish and birds populations, and native vegetation. “Even before we began this final phase of construction, the vision behind this unprecedented coastal restoration project was a reality,” said David Kay, Southern California Edison manager of environmental projects. “The site has already become a nursery for more marine life than the relatively small number of fish impacted by the ocean water cooling system of our San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.” The specialized dredge operating in the sensitive wetlands east of Jimmy Durante Bridge is ideal from an environmental standpoint, because it is small, has minimum emissions and makes very little noise. The dredge pumps sand to a stockpile area where it is being dried for placement on five California least tern nesting sites and other upland areas on the east side of I-5. Once the upland areas have received the sand from the river bottom, top soil will be

placed and planted with native habitat. Excavators and front end loaders will be used to remove the sand in the channel to the west of Jimmy Durant Bridge. The same process of sand removal and placement has been used in past years to open the river mouth. The sand in this area is considered high quality beach sand and will be used to replenish Del Mar beaches. “The project has become a real natural asset for San Diego and is a living laboratory for studying how nature can adopt man made eco-systems,” said Pamela Fair, vice president, environmental, safety & support services. “The on-going research is helping our scientists understand how fish and birds colonize and re-populate previously disturbed areas to benefit other restoration projects around the country.” Minimizing interference with any migratory and endangered bird nesting activity is one of the most important operational components to the dredge operation. Project biologists will work cooperatively with U.S. Fish and Wildlife and California Fish and Game to monitor the site during construction for any nesting activities in order to protect birds. The park’s master plan provides for public access through increased trail systems and wetlands education once the construction portion of the nature preserve is completed.

Resident voices concern over intersection safety By Karen Billing Rancho Santa Fe resident Dolores Cushman recently voiced concerns about the intersection of El Camino Real and Linea del Cielo. She feels that the four-way intersection is dangerous and that something needs to be done to make it a safer thoroughfare. “There’s no stop sign, it’s just pass at your own risk,” said Cushman. Cushman, who is in her 80s, worries about other senior drivers as well as fellow residents. She suggested a stop sign be put in or at least that the lemon trees on the side of the road be pruned back to provide a clearer sight line. Ivan Holler, Rancho Santa Fe Association covenant administrator, said that it is unlikely that a stop sign will be placed at the intersection. “We have asked the county to look at the intersection on a number of different occasions,” said Holler, noting that there have been accidents there in the past. “It doesn’t warrant a stop sign. If we stopped traffic there we could get stacking of three to four cars and then we could have another problem.” Holler said they may be able to solve the tree issue. “We will have our crews look at it and see if we can prune anything back,” Holler said.

San Elijo Lagoon project aims to benefit threatened birds and plants By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer Snowy plovers and tiny shorebirds nest in sand dunes, but the urban influx has gobbled up many of their homes, dwindling their population to less than 330 in San Diego County. However, the rarely seen creatures may soon have a new home in the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. Members of the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy are working to protect a four-acre plot of sand dunes in the lagoon’s southwest corner, terrain that is vital to many threatened plants and animals, including snowy

Snowy plover plovers. If snowy plovers do indeed start nesting there, it would actually be a homecoming for the birds because more than 30 years ago, dozens called this area home. “We would be ecstatic in the next year or two to have a couple of nesting pairs on the site,” said Barry Lindgren, the San Elijo Lagoon

Conservancy’s staff scientist and project principal. “If these birds come back, others will likely follow. Lindgren said he also hopes to attract least turns, another threatened shorebird that depends on the dunes for nesting — and to protect silvery legless lizards, which live in the sand. Though it is a small plot of land, this is one of the last surviving coastal strand areas in the county. Sandwiched between Pacific Coast Highway and the Santa Fe railroad tracks, this sandy strip

RSF Little League Opening Day celebration is March 6 Rancho Santa Fe Little League will celebrate the start of the season on Sunday, March 6, with its 2nd Annual Baseball Parade and Opening Day Carnival. Led by the Rancho Santa Fe fire engine, and 2011’s Grand Marshall, the parade will start at noon, with line up beginning promptly at 11:30 a.m. Baseball players, in uniform, will start their march at the Rancho Santa Fe School Field, loop through town and then back to the school. The carnival will begin immediately after the parade and run through 4 p.m. on the school field. Baseball players and their families will enjoy a full range of activities including quad pad bungee jumpers, an inflatable obstacle course and slide, bounce house, DJ, carnival games, Frozen Ropes activities and prizes galore! Mexican street tacos and quesadillas will be available in addition to other carnival treats. Team pictures are also scheduled for the afternoon.

A fundraising event hosted by Jolane Crawford of Jet Methods and Laura Barry of Barry Estates in Rancho Santa Fe will be held at a private residence on the evening of Thursday, March 10, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to benefit the The Jammer Family Foundation. Guests are invited to mingle over select wine and appetizers while previewing the new line of Choo 24:7 Bags. A percentage of all sales from the event are being donated back from Jimmy Choo in support of the Jammer Family Foundation. Inspired by jet-setting women who travel with practical needs and following the success of the Choo 24:7 “perfect shoe wardrobe” of shoes and boots, the Choo 24:7 bags range from an assortment of roomy totes to messenger bags. Details of the new handbag line include slouchy weekenders, carry-on trolleys and smart traveling companions such as: passport and iphone covers, laptop cases, travel wallets, luggage tags and luxury shoe cases. All models are available in multiple sizes and in a variety of finishes. The new handbag line was featured in February 2011 at fashion week in New York City.

Community volunteers needed for Catch TP Players’ production of ‘Tommy!’ Trauma Intervention Program By Kelley Carlson Contributor In the hours immediately following a tragedy, victims or survivors often need emotional support and guidance. They may not know what to do, where to go, or have anyone to turn to. In many parts of San Diego County, volunteers from the Trauma Intervention Program are called to a scene by emergency services personnel to assist those in need. It could be in response to a homicide, suicide, natural death, accident, fire, domestic violence, natural disaster or other traumatic situations. “Our niche is that we provide emotional first aid,” said Mandy Atkission, executive director of TIP’s San Diego County chapter. “We are a liaison between family and emergency responders, and we help get answers. We provide a lot of resources.” There are about 100 volunteers throughout the county, but the nonprofit organization is seeking more help. “We have a 20-minute response time guarantee, and we need sufficient (volunteer) numbers in all areas,” Atkission said. TIP’s main office is in Carlsbad, but volunteers work in their own community and are on call three times a month in 12-hour shifts. Atkission said a person chooses his or her own shift, usually from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. There could be no calls, or as many as three or four during the time period. A volunteer on a “typical” call is often assisting for three to five hours, Atkission said — until the victims or survivors “have a grasp of reality.” Currently, there are five community response “teams,” including North County Coastal, which covers Rancho Santa Fe, cities from Del Mar north through Camp Pendleton, and east to Vista. Ages among volunteers can vary greatly,

as TIP permits those as young as 14 to participate if their parents are also part of the program. There is no upper age limit. To become part of the program, prospective participants must first attend an orientation to see if TIP is right for them. If they decide to proceed, they must complete a 50hour training academy, in which they are trained to handle all types of situations, and attend a continuing education program once a month. They are also required to pass a background check. “TIPlets,” or new members, are assigned a mentor, who shows them the ropes and helps them become comfortable enough to eventually handle calls on their own. Marilyn Carpenter of Del Mar just responded to her first call on Feb. 22, one she said that was “pretty straightforward” and involved a person who had been in ill health for a while. Carpenter had previously been involved with other organizations, such as the American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery program, Hospice of the North Coast and Voices For Children. After attending a TIP fundraiser with fellow member and friend Linda Loehr, Carpenter said this was something in the back of her mind that she knew she wanted to do. “I feel good contributing my time,” she said. “This (group) is so well-managed. People do a great deal with passion and empathy.” When not on call, volunteers do have opportunities to socialize with one another — Atkission said many of them meet for lunch outside of TIP meetings, and there are also fundraisers and volunteer appreciation events. Although volunteers are not monetarily paid, they often receive feedback and thankyou cards, which Atkission refers to as “volunteer pay checks.” See TRAUMA, page 22

Torrey Pines High School’s musical theater department, TP Players, is concluding its production of The Who’s “Tommy” this week in the Black Box Theater.

Canyon Crest Academy drummer performs at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grammy Awards By Diane Y. Welch Staff Writer When the GRAMMY Foundation selected 30 high school students to participate in its jazz ensembles for this year's Grammy Awards, local drummer David James was one of them. Chosen from hundreds of students nationwide, David, 16, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy High School, was awarded one of only two drummer places available. Prompted to apply by a friend, David sent an audition tape and his application to the foundation last October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I got a phone call about a month later telling me I had been selected for the Grammy Quintet,â&#x20AC;? he said. The foundation sent out its official announcement to the selectees in December. Each student would participate in choir, jazz combo or jazz band. David was chosen to play drums with the jazz quintet ensemble that would perform on stage during the internationally-televised Grammy Awards show. When the night of the awards aired, on Feb. 13,

Photo: Kevin Winter/Wireimage bassist Esperanza Spalding, who had just been recognized as Best New Artist, played with Davis and his jazz ensemble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really great experience!â&#x20AC;? David said. That performance was only part of a whirlwind week that involved David taking part in several jazz performances that included a gig at the Spaghettini Italian Grill and Jazz Club with Esperanza Spalding; playing at the Grammy

Nominee Reception; performing for MusiCares Person of the Year event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barbra Streisand was the honoree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and an hour long set at the Grammy Awards after-party. The students, representing 30 cities and 12 states, convened in Los Angeles under the musical direction of Justin DiCioccio of the Manhattan School of Music, Dr. Ron McCurdy of the University of Southern California Thornton School

of Music, and Dr. Leila Heil of Colorado State University, according to Christina Cassidy, representative of the GRAMMY Foundation. Prior to the awards celebrations, the foundation sent music and detailed instructions to participants to prepare them for their performances. The pressure was on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We each also arranged songs and had just over a month to learn everything,â&#x20AC;? David said. In Los Angeles,

there were three full days of intensive rehearsals and a visit to Capitol Studios in Hollywood where the ensembles collectively recorded a CD. In addition, each selectee's school received a cymbal courtesy of the Zildjian Company. As a drummer, David was able to personally choose a cymbal from Zildjian's vaults which will be donated to Canyon Crest Academy. The Grammy jazz ensembleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selectees are eligible for college scholarships made possible through the GRAMMY Foundation's college partners: Berklee College of Music, Manhattan School of Music, the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and USC Thornton School of Music. David has already secured a place at Manhattan School of Music in New York on the strength of his musical participation during the awards week, but is also looking into other New York-based music schools to earn his degree. A passion for drumming started early in life for David

who was born and raised in England. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got his first toy drum when he was a year old,â&#x20AC;? said his mother, Sharon James. A year later he received his first drum set and has been drumming avidly ever since. David's past accomplishments include Outstanding Soloist Award at Stanford Jazz Camp in 2008 and participation in the inaugural 2010 San Diego Drum Summitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just two of several awards and accolades earned. He said that he sees his future as a professional musician, touring with a band and recording music. For now, David may be seen drumming Sunday mornings at Elevate Church, which meets at 10 am at Torrey Pines High School, and Sunday evenings at the Jazz Jam, sponsored by radio's Jazz 88.3, at Busalacchi's Spahetteria in Little Italy.

Profile

Lane Sharman

Former software entrepreneur shifts his focus to sustainability efforts for water conservation and the creation of solar farms By Arthur Lightbourn Lane Sharman describes himself as a “social entrepreneur.” Or, more specifically, a management and financial consultant specializing in water conservation and the development of solar farms for harnessing electrical energy throughout the sunny and water-challenged southwestern United States. His stated personal objective is to advance the mission of making the southwest a preeminent capital for sustainability and renewable energy. Sharman, a local resident and fifth generation Californian, is a local partner in the Spain-based Solarpack Development Corporation and the founder of the Borrego Water Exchange. He is also the lead organizer of the Sustainability Forum scheduled for March 4, at 6:30 p.m., in Solana Presbyterian Church’s Debin Hall. March is Sustainability Month in Solana Beach. The forum is directed at young people from throughout North County, 25 and younger, who are being urged to become active participants in the sustainability movement. Admission is free and a Firewire surfboard will be raf-

At 58, Sharman is sandyhaired, blue-eyed, tall and trim — 6 feet, 190 pounds — and keeps in shape surfing, swimming and lifting weights — and eating the good stuff he grows in his organic garden. “As all of us get older,” he said, “we become a little bit more concerned about this lease on the use of our local home as well as our planetary home; and all of us who are, I think, sensitive and informed students of civilization feel that civilization is at risk right now … based on the collapsing systems that support life.” Yet, despite the seriousness of the threat, he believes, because of the relative comfort of many in America today, “we almost are anesthetized by that comfort” compared to the concern and willingness of young people in the 1960s who challenged the status quo. “And it concerns me,” he said, “because what they [young people] are going to take on and what they are taking on is objectionable. It’s an objectionable future in which they are also a party to the complacency by their willingness to either tune-out or

unwillingness to tune-in to the opportunity to make a difference.” Sharman was born in Los Angeles with deep family ties to both Los Angeles and San Diego County’s desert community of Borrego Springs. His maternal great grandfather, George Jacob Kuhrts, helped launch the Los Angeles Transit Railroad. His father was a Louisiana-born aviator pioneer who was a pilot with United Air Lines for 36 years until he retired in 1968. His mother, now 86, has been a life-long activist for social justice, women’s rights, the rights of young people, and was the former head of the San Francisco United Nations Association. His maternal grandparents were pioneers of Borrego Springs in the 1930s. From an early age, Sharman sensed that water was a long-term concern of his family in Borrego. The area’s total water source comes from one aquifer which, given the current rate of usage, will dry up in 50 years. An uncle, George (Buddy) Kuhrts, was the chief land planner for Borrego Springs from the 1940s until his death in 1994, and Sharman’s stepfather was Robert DiGiorgio, nephew of Joseph DiGiorgio, founder of the struggling, grape-growing DiGiorgio Fruit Company, that clashed with Cesar Chavez over the unionization of its farm workers. Under Robert DiGiorgio, as president, the company changed its name to the DiGiorgio Corporation, ceased farming and became a leading developer in Borrego, beginning with the de Anza Country Club in 1955 and continuing until the early 1980s. Sharman graduated high school from the Cate School in Carpinteria, California, in 1971; studied French for a year at the American College in Paris; and attended UC Santa Barbara for another year. “Those were very challenging times towards the end of the Vietnam War,” he recalls, with lots of protests. “A very unsettling time and I was very unsettled.” He took a job as a “chainpuller” for a year-and-a-half in a Feather River lumber mill near Auburn, Calif. It was like stepping back into the Wild West, he recalled, where disputes were settled behind the lumber mill “with good, oldfashion fist fights.” “It helped me get my

Lane Sharman (Photo: Jon Clark) head screwed on straight, and I realized I didn’t want to pull and stack lumber the rest of my life,” he said. After he was laid off during the recession of 1974, he resumed his university studies — earning a B.A. in mathematics and computer science at San Francisco State University in 1977. He then launched his career in the computer field as a systems programmer with NCR in Rancho Bernardo. In 1982, he founded Resource Systems Group as a consultant in project management and software development for corporations, professional service companies and law firms, which he morphed into Open Doors Software in 1997, developing corporate financial and security software, After a lengthy and painful divorce and the death of his stepfather and his father, Sharman reassessed what he was doing with his life. He was troubled by what he viewed as the increasing exhaustion of life-supporting resources. “My work took a new focus in 2004 when I went to Borrego Springs to see if some of our family’s land in Borrego could be developed. And that precipitated an understanding of the water crisis in Borrego. “There is not going to be any long-term viability of Borrego or any other community unless there is water certainty,” he concluded. “You can’t plan for the future if you are not certain about your water supply. “We had owned the

Borrego Water Company. We had sold the Borrego Water Company in the 1990s to the Borrego Water District and the water district asked me and a number of other citizens in Borrego to work on developing an exchange mechanism which would allow for the exchange of water rights for development rights.” The idea was to return Borrego’s sole aquifer, which is being overdrafted at a rate of 14,000 acre-feet per year, to a more sustainable rate of usage. Starting in 2004, with local stakeholders, Sharman created the Borrego Water Exchange (BWX), the first independent “water bank” in the state of California whose goal was to achieve water sustainability in Borrego through the issuance of water credits based on agricultural, commercial and residential waterusage rights that could be sold and exchanged. “In the case of development in Borrego Springs, for every unit of water that you need for a new home, you must retire two units of consumption. So they have a 2 to 1 mitigation policy and the Borrego Water Exchange is the facilitator between an owner and a buyer of those rights. I am the arranger. I arrange those transactions.” Each water credit,” Sharman said, “represents 325,000 gallons of water every year taken out of production in perpetuity — forever.” “We bank water rights and water credits, usually purchased by developers who seek to offset their water use, but they can also be purchased by

philanthropies and conservancies.” Farming in the desert, he said, is understandably waterintensive. The farming community in Borrego, with 4,000 acres of land under agricultural production, uses cumulatively 70 percent of Borrego’s water supply. “We’d like to see less farming,” Sharman said, “but we’d like to see an economic exit for farming. “So if you’re going to give up farming, then that water right could be conveyed to another party. We intermediate the banking of that right so if there is not a buyer over here today, you can bank that water in my water bank, stop farming today but not lose your ability to sell the water right to another party at a later point in time.” In 2006, the water district entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) appointing Sharman’s BWX to manage the issuance, circulation and retirement of water credits. Shortly afterwards, a new, less friendly regime was elected to run the Borrego Water District In 2007, the BWX brokered its first retirement of 50 acres of citrus that escalated into a contract dispute with the water district. The water district terminated its MOU with Sharman’s exchange, appropriated Sharman’s model in 2008 and is attempting to run its own version of the exchange. Meanwhile Sharman continues to operate the BWX and, so far, in economic terms, has transferred more than $1 million in water rights. Also, in 2004, Sharman founded Solana Energy to negotiate the development of solar farms throughout the Southwest and in 2009 Solar Energy became a local equity partner of the Solarpack Development Corporation headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The electrical energy harnessed and generated by photovoltaic panels on the solar farms is sold to public utility companies and incorporated into the electrical grid. The farms are typically located on former agricultural lands of at least 40 acres, but unlike fields devoted to agriculture, solar farms require no water and are emission free. Sharman currently has 150 megawatts worth of solar farms in various stages of development in California.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Researchers find surprising view of brain formation By Lynne Friedmann As the human brain develops, newly formed nerve cells travel from their place of origin to different brain regions where they connect to one another to form the intricate circuits and networks responsible for various brain functions. Anything that disrupts the course of this nerve cell migration results in an improperly formed brain often with devastating consequences. Researchers had long known that newly formed nerve cells crawl along a particular type of cell in the brain, called a glial cell, which acts as a cellular guide for the nerve cells. Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute report on a study focused on a protein called “reelin.” They found reelin to be a key player in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher-order functions, such as language and movement. Unexpectedly, researchers also found that reelin affects this migration process independent of glial cells. The findings have implications for understanding a host of diseases, including some forms of mental retardation, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism. The study appears in the journal Neuron.News release at http://bit.ly/gpynm9. Finding key to nicotine addiction Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have identified a pathway in the brain that regulates an individual’s vulnerability to the addictive properties of nicotine. Nicotine is the major addictive component of tobacco smoke, and nicotine acts in the brain by stimulating proteins called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). These nAChRs are made up of different types of subunits. One of these subunits (·5 subunit) was the focus of the TSRI study that examined that receptor’s response to nicotine in the brain. The scientists found that animal models with a genetic mutation inhibiting ·5 consumed far more nicotine than normal. This effect could be reversed by boosting the subunit’s expression. Thus, the findings suggest a new target for anti-smoking therapies. The findings appear in the journal Nature. News release at http://bit.ly/gDg0yK. Breast cancer metastasis culprit identified When doctors discover high concentrations of regulatory T cells in the tumors of breast cancer patients, the prognosis is often grim — though why exactly has long been unclear. Research at the UCSD School of Medicine suggests these regulatory T cells — whose job is to help mediate the body’s immune response – produce a protein (known as RANKL) that appears to hasten and intensify the spread of breast cancer to distant organs and, in doing so, dramatically increase the risk of death. In the study, mice with breast cancer were more likely to develop metastatic lung cancer due to elevated levels of RANKL. The scientists also determined that interfering with the ability of RANKL to interact with cancer cells seemed to block tumor progression, and may represent a potential target for drug therapy. The findings are reported in the journal Nature. News release at http://bit.ly/fNNpT3. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based locally.

Local author looking for diary submissions from teen girls for book Book’s goal is to help girls grow up with higher self esteem By Karen Billing Staff Writer One of the world’s most famous diaries was written by teenager Anne Frank as she hid from the Nazis with her family during WWII. Her reflections are among the most read in the history of literature. With that in mind, local author Janet Larson Melugin has embarked on a project to piece together diary entries from teenagers, sharing their thoughts on the tough realities of growing up, of tortured self-esteem, and of inspiration. “My Diary Unlocked: Keys to Making a Difference in the Lives of Teen Girls” will include entries that “reflect a poignant time in life that are gut-wrenching, funny, serious and heartbreaking,” said Larson Melugin. “I want for teen girls to know that they are not alone and to give parents tools to help encourage their daughters to be authentic and to help create an environment that fosters high selfesteem,” Larson Melugin said. As she continues to work on

the book, Larson Melugin is still looking for diary entries. Submissions can be anonymous and sent in through her website, mydiaryunlocked.com. As the founder of a consulting firm, Larson Melugin led motivational training for managers and published several human resources surveys about best practices. She studied both human resources and psychology at the University of Oregon and has always wanted to help people become the “best they could be.” She was personally trained by Jack Canfield, co-author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series, to present selfesteem seminars for young women. She has worked with everyone from Girl Scouts to teen unwed mothers to women and children at emergency shelters. She has also served as a Big Sister and teaches a lunchtime diarywriting club at a local school every week. “I always had a passion for working with young girls because I had such low self esteem growing up,” Larson Malugin said. Years ago she was preparing for a move when she pulled out an old dusty box with her high school diary inside. “It was so sad,” Larson

Author Janet Larson Melugin is working on her book “My Diary Unlocked.” Photo: Karen Billing Malugin said of reading her diary. “I laughed, I cried, I wanted to shake her, I wanted to go back in history and give that girl a big hug because I just had so much self-loathing and a depressing way of looking at myself as a teen.”

She knew that it wasn’t just her—that most teen girls go through that kind of experience. Larson Malugin calls it her “a-ha” moment, when she decided to start her project to gather teenage diary entries, some of the most visceral and emotive writing there is. “A diary is written with authenticity because you’re just writing to yourself, as your own best friend,” Larson Malugin said. For the last two years she has worked on the book as entries poured in, some teens have even sent their entire diaries. A top New York agent is on board with the project and has sent proposals in to publishers. The book is broken into sections that deal with various topics, such as bullying, body image, pregnancy, sexuality and eating disorders. One teen describes her feelings after keeping an abortion secret; another shares guilt after a boyfriend committed suicide. “…I thought that I was cool and interesting and fun to be around. I guess the joke was on me,” wrote a 16-year-old named Ann. “All I ever see is the world laughing at me, making fun of me for my math grade (which my mom is gonna kill me for) or

because I did something stupid or because I’m short!” Each entry is paired with quotes, pearls of wisdom, tools for growth and discussion topics. Experts such as Canfield, Azim Khamisa, Roni Cohen-Sandler and Catherine Blyth provide some of the commentary. Entries are also coupled with statistics that prove that issues young women experience are sometimes more common than not. Larson Melugin was most shocked with one figure she found, that 2,000 teen girls become pregnant every day in the United States. There is also a sobering suicide rate among young adults—nearly every two hours a person under the age of 25 commits suicide in this country. Larson Melugin hopes her book will spark meaningful conversations between families and in society, as a whole, and let young women grow into adults with high selfesteem. “If young woman can learn to honor their true self and live with integrity, everything else will fall into place,” she said, To learn more or submit an entry, visit mydiaryunlocked.com

RSF’s Holland Davey named to Local resident named to Charles RSF tennis player leads team to Connolly Cup championship Dean's List at Villanova University Schwab National Advisory Board A little over two weeks ago, the United States Maureen Connolly Cup team headed to New Zealand to defend their 2010 International Tennis Federation (ITF) World Team Championship, focused on playing their best tennis against the best players in the world. They completed play yesterday, winning the Connolly Cup by defeating both 4th seeded Carolyn Nichols Australia and 2nd seeded Great Britain in the final round by identical 3-0 scores. The American team handily won their first match against the Netherlands, on the 21st, giving up only four games. Rancho Santa Fe resident and team captain Carolyn Nichols won her match at the top singles position without losing a game. Before they could play their second match the tournament home site, Christchurch, was hit by the devastating earthquake. Fortunately all players in Christchurch were OK, and the decision was made to have the events scheduled in Ashburton, approximately one hour south, continue. On the 22nd, the team played their final round robin match against Turkey, again winning easily. Nichols continued to dominate in the top spot, losing just one game. The winners of the three round robin groups then faced off in a round robin to determine the first three places. In their first match, the Americans faced off against the #4 seed, Australia; Nichols defeated a tough opponent in the top spot by a score of 7-5,7-6. Her teammates won in straight sets as well, giving the team a 3-0 victory. In the final match, they played second seeded Great Britain, and again were victorious; this time Nichols bested her top 10 ranked opponent more easily, giving up just two games After dominating the competition, winning the event without giving up a single set, the players would normally remain in New Zealand to compete for the World Individual Championships, to be held in Christchurch, but, due to the massive damage from the earthquake, this event has been cancelled.

Holland Davey, from Rancho Santa Fe, has been named to the Dean's List for the 2010 fall semester in the Villanova School of Business (Villanova, Pa.). Davey is a freshman. Every year, students with established outstanding academic records are honored by the dean of each college. To qualify for the Dean's List in the Villanova School of Business, one must be a matriculated full-time student and earn a semester grade point average of 3.5, with no missing or non-passing grades. Villanova University, a co-educational Roman Catholic institution, was founded by the Order of Saint Augustine in 1842.

RSF residents named to Dean’s List at Boston University Two Rancho Santa Fe residents have recently been named to the Dean's List at Boston University for the fall semester. Students recognized for this honor include: Karli D. Abshier, Sarah J. Moret. Boston University is the fourth largest independent university in the United States, with an enrollment of more than 29,000 students in its 17 schools and colleges. The university offers an exceptional grounding in the liberal arts, a broad range of programs in the arts, sciences, engineering, and professional areas, and state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research.

RSF resident Samuel Daley named to WPI Fall 2010 Dean's List Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has announced that Samuel Daley of Rancho Santa Fe, a junior majoring in aerospace engineering, was named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2010 semester. A total of 1,004 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI's fall 2010 Dean's List. The criteria for the WPI Dean's List differ from most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean's List by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects. "WPI's academic programs are remarkably rigorous, so being named to the WPI Dean's List is a testament to hard work, a sharp mind, and a commitment to excellence," said Provost ad interim Eric Overstrom. "Some of this nation's best and brightest students come to WPI to learn subjects ranging from engineering to science to business and the humanities, and through our innovative project-based curriculum they conduct professionallevel research and solve important problems all over the world. Those who are named to the Dean's List have excelled at facing such demanding challenges, and we are exceptionally proud of these outstanding students."

Breast cancer survivors from S.D. needed for two-year study By Linda Thompson Contributor Dr. Cheryl Rock, professor of Family and Preventive Medicine at the UCSD School of Medicine, is committed to helping the 2.5 million women who are breast cancer survivors. To do that, she needs 200 women from San Diego for a two-year study involving diet modification and exercise. These volunteers must be between the ages of 21 to 85, overweight, and surviving breast cancer. The goal is for the women to lose at least 7 percent of their body fat. Funded by a National Cancer Institute grant of $5.3 million, Dr. Rock's study, ENERGY (Exercise and Nutrition to Enhance Recovery and Good Health for You) will involve cancer survivors in San Diego, Denver, Birmingham and St. Louis. She is working in collaboration with other doctors recruiting a total of 800 women from these four cities. In explaining the study, Dr. Rock said many women experience weight gain while battling breast cancer — and

Dr. Cheryl Rock, Ph.D., R.D., is a professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and the Cancer Prevention and Control Program, at the UCSD School of Medicine. not from overeating. She said the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation often make it difficult for women to maintain an active lifestyle. This inactivity creates muscle atrophy that in turn lowers the metabolic rate needed to burn calories. Rock said being overweight is the “big gorilla in the closet,” which needs to be tackled because 60 percent of U.S. adults are overweight and data indicates a 78 per-

cent increase in risk for recurrence of breast cancer patients if they are overweight at the time of diagnosis. During the clinical trial, scientific evidence will be collected that either proves or disproves her hypotheses. If the evidence supports her beliefs, the study could change the way doctors treat breast cancer patients. Data is also necessary to ensure insurance companies provide coverage to support weight loss and management for breast cancer survivors as a new standard of clinical care. Dr. Rock said study participants could expect to have their blood samples analyzed for estrogen and insulin hormone levels. Scientists are concerned about high levels of insulin and estrogen because these hormones are designed to grow cells — whether cells are cancerous or not. Studying the issue since 1997, Dr. Rock authored a paper that showed a correlation between high blood estrogen and the recurrence of cancer. Her study has raised the call for postmenopausal women to lose

excess body fat because at this stage of life, estrogen is no longer produced by ovaries, but by fat. The new study will include participation in a two-year behavioral weight loss program, with a support group that will meet weekly for the first 16 weeks. "Changing behavior is not easy. Losing weight is not easy," said Dr. Rock, "and that is the reason for having weekly meetings comprised of about 12 women in each group. The program is to encourage a greater consumption of fruits, vegetables and high fibers in the diet and fewer calories. The trial doesn't provide food, but participants will receive a scale, a food diary to track food intake, and a pedometer.”

TO JOIN THE STUDY Participants must be at least 21 years old and have been diagnosed with stage I, II, or III A breast cancer. They will be involved in a two-year active intervention program. If interested, contact Shoshi Barkai at Moores UCSD Cancer Center, (858) 822-2779. After 16 weeks, participants will not simply be cut loose, but they will enter a less intense program created by Dr. Wendy Demark-

Wahnefried, Ph.D., R.D. in Birmingham, Ala. As far as the exercise involved, Dr. Rock said she encourages women to aim for an average of one hour each day of moderate purposeful exercise to be tailored by study coordinator and certified cancer exercise trainer Shoshi Barkai, M.S., R.D. Related issues, like incontinence, hot flashing, and mastectomies have all been taken into consideration. Dr. Rock discussed the positive transformation women encountered in her previous study, SHAPE. She said the women in the program went from "literally being couch potatoes" to exercise addicts.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Educational potpourri

Santa Fe Irrigation District pension progress

By Marsha Sutton An accumulation of odds and ends have been stacking up in the last few weeks, so below is an educational potpourri on matters affecting local school districts. Declining reserves A budget discussion on the agenda for the San Dieguito Union High School District’s March 3 board meeting shows a declining reserve balance for the district. The cuts in state funding account for the need to dip into emergency reserves. Marsha “Administration must work toward reducing the deficit between income and Sutton expenditures, particularly as reserves are being spent down,” reads the report. The report indicates that the district is still projecting that it will be able to meet its requirement to maintain a minimum 3 percent unrestricted general fund reserve balance. However, the funds are clearly dwindling. According to the district’s March 3 report, these are the projections:

Public employee pension costs have become a hot topic lately. As the readers may know, some of us have scolded the Santa Fe Irrigation District [SFID] for the high costs and huge future debt obligations of the CalPers pension plan offered to SFID employees. I am pleased to report that the SFID Board of Directors has addressed this problem. On Feb. 22, SFID held a workshop, and the legal issues were presented by counselor Joseph Sanchez, Esq. It was not good news. California law prevents any roll back of past promised benefits. Benefits can be increased, but they cannot be decreased. As a tax payer/rate payer, I find this frustrating. Previous board decisions to increase benefits, however generous or imprudent, now hang like a millstone around our neck. Our courts and our laws prevent readjustments to meet today's realities. It appears that only the State Legislature can adequately address the problem. This does not mean that some changes cannot be made to ameliorate these huge costs. SFID's newest director, Andy Menshek, offered the board several good suggestions and the rest of the board seemed receptive. For example: The employees can agree to pay a larger share of their pension costs; the size of the benefits package can be modified for new employees. Any change, however, will require negotiation with the employees. Mr. Menshek is willing to lead this debate. I am pleased with his effort and I will personally support his proposals. Brad Burnett

2012-2013 $10.17 million $8.29 million 5%

The trend indicates that the following year, 2013-2014, the district will be at its 3-percent minimum level, unless more funding can be secured. SDUHSD associate superintendent Rick Schmitt said it is unlikely that programs will be eliminated for the coming year, but a $3 million cut was needed. As a result, schools may need to reduce their counselors, coaches, gardeners and other support staff. It will also mean not replacing retiring teachers, resulting in larger class sizes. At a recent budget workshop, a number of drastic cuts were proposed, one of which was eliminating the 4x4 schedule, in use at Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito Academy. The 4x4 schedule is more expensive than the traditional year-long calendar in use at Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon high schools. But Schmitt said there was no way the school board would eliminate the 4x4. That was a nonstarter, he said, and was never seriously considered. Islam complaint In response to a formal complaint by three individuals objecting to the presentation of Islam in the San Dieguito Union High School District’s seventh-grade history textbook, SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah has asked the school board to refer the complaint to the California Department of Education. “Since the textbook in question was reviewed and adopted at the state level, and given that this is an issue of statewide concern as the text is widely used in districts across the state, it is appropriate that this matter be referred to the California Department of Education for re-evaluation and decision,” reads the agenda item for SDUHSD’s March 3 board meeting. “It was a state-adopted text, and it came about as a result of a fairly intensive … process at the state level,” Noah said. Because this textbook, adopted by the district in 2006, is used widely across the state, Noah said he is obligated to bring it to the attention of the CDE because it potentially affects many other California school districts and “is more than just a concern about San Dieguito.” “I think it’s important that this get vetted in a way where it’s given a critical analysis,” he said. The CDE, he said, has the resources, the staff, and the process for proper review. The group objecting to the presentation of Islam in the seventh-grade history textbook met several times last spring with San Dieguito administrators, Noah said, “and we essentially thought we had come to some common ground.” He said everyone seemed to agree at the time that the issue belonged at the state level, since textbook adoptions are an in-depth process ultimately approved by the state Board of Education. So it was unexpected when the textbook critics called Noah last month to say they intended to present their complaint to the school board. “Yes, we were surprised when it came back,” he said. “What I need to know is what transpired from that last conversation ... that would bring it back.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

REDISTRICTING continued from page 1 year for a sixth term. Critics charge that one of the factors posing a steep hurdle to potential challengers —including minority candidates — is that after the supervisors receive the recommendation of their advisory committee, they have the ultimate authority to set their own district boundaries. Former San Diego city attorney Mike Aguirre, who brought unsuccessful lawsuits against the county over its redistricting process following both the 1990 and 2000 census counts, likened the county’s political system to that of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi: “It’s the same kind of system here, the same people are in power for decades at a time. “If you allow the politicians to select the voters, in essence you’re allowing politicians to select themselves. It subverts the whole process,” Aguirre said. The solution, Aguirre said, is for the county to create an independent commission to set district boundaries, following the model of a voter-approved panel in Sacramento that will be setting boundaries this year for legislative and Congressional districts. City council districts in San Diego are also set by an independent commission whose members are appointed by a panel of retired judges. Aguirre said he doesn’t plan to file a lawsuit this time around, but will be watching closely to see if

the process is as open and fair as possible. In a written response to questions from this newspaper, Horn did not respond directly as to whether he would support the creation of an independent commission to set the boundaries of supervisorial districts. John Weil, chief of staff for Slater-Price, said, “the supervisor would prefer an independent commission.” Creation of an independent redistricting commission for the county, however, would require both state legislation and an amendment to the county charter, which would also require a vote of the public, said County Counsel Tom Montgomery. Because the current redistricting process is underway, and must be completed before the next election, a change in the way the county creates its supervisorial district boundaries would not be feasible this year, and would instead have to be implemented for the next round of redistricting following the 2020 census. Steve Danon, a Carmel Valley resident who plans to run against Slater-Price next year, agreed that an independent commission should set supervisorial boundaries, and questioned his rival’s sincerity on the issue. With the process already underway, such a change is unlikely for this year’s redistricting effort, and the next round of redistricting won’t take place for another decade. “She’s been there for 20 years, why doesn’t she move it forward?” Danon said. The redistricting committee seems poised to embrace other suggestions by Aguirre to improve pub-

lic access. For example, the committee will be holding meetings in all five supervisorial districts to gather public input, and those meetings will be held at night, when most people are off work and able to attend. The committee is not allowed to meet in closed session, and both Horn and Slater said they don’t see a need for the Board of Supervisors to meet in closed session to discuss redistricting in the absence of a redistricting lawsuit. Finally, Aguirre said the county should make its redistricting software available to individuals and groups who want to submit their own maps for consideration. The software will be used by the advisory committee and county staff along with census data to create supervisorial districts with populations that are as equal as possible. Day said committee members agree that making the software available would be beneficial, and have asked county staff to research what that would cost. “That’s a great idea. That would make the maps easily accessible for any member of the public from any area of the region. That’s something we would like to see,” said Weil, adding that Slater-Price would support the concept if the cost is not prohibitive. The public can get information about the redistricting process, including the advisory committee’s meeting schedule, at a website set up by the county: www.sdcounty.ca.gov/redistricting. The site allows people to sign up for email updates about redistricting activities.

City of San Diego will have access to its share of local water. The SDCWA Lake Hodges Pumped Storage Project, when completed, will connect Lake Hodges to the Olivenhain Reservoir. The connection will provide the ability to transfer and store up to 20,000 acre-feet of imported water in Hodges Reservoir for emergency use. In addition, the project provides facilities that will allow water to be transferred from Lake Hodges to the Olivenhain Reservoir and ultimately into the regional aqueduct system. This project will significantly improve the management of local water resources, increase regional emergency supplies, and provide enhanced operational tools for the region.

This is one more step in our effort to enhance the overall habitat of the lagoon, which is about 1,000 acres.” In an effort to keep cyclist and hikers away from the sand dunes, a fence has just been added along the western edge of the area, and a sign instructing people to stay away will soon follow. Working around the March to September nesting season, crews will also remove invasive plants, such as sea rocket and ice plant, and replace them with native species, like beach primrose, sand verbena, and coast woolly head.

The project, which has been many years in the making, was made possible with support from the California Department of Fish and Game, which owns the land. The project costs about $80,000 and funding came from a few sources: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which gave approximately $36,000; the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, which gave approximately $43,000; and Patagonia, the National Wildlife Federation, and California Department of Fish and Game, which collectively gave approximately $5,000.

RSF teen brings fun to children in need through play structures

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Karen Billing Staff Writer One inspiring local teenager has started an organization to bring children in need some much-deserved fun. Throu gh his nonprofit Play Structures for Orphans, San Diego Jewish Academy junior Ethan Lew is collecting wooden play structures and donating them to orphanages in Tijuana, Mexico. So far he has successfully created six new play areas for children. “My initial goal was to do 10, but I’m just going to get as many as I can,” Ethan said. Ethan learned about the problem when he was in Mexico last August. His father supports orphanages with food donations and Ethan tagged along to help deliver the donations. While there he was struck by the empty space the children had to play in. “I saw they played on sand lots with just a soccer ball,” said Ethan, 16, a RSF resident. “I just thought something was missing.” Ethan knew a wooden play structure with fun swings, slides and obstacles to climb would fit in perfectly for the kids. He started with his fami-

Most of the structures were in pretty good shape, but he spent some time repairing ones that needed little touchups. He found a team of contractors who donated their time to help him—they have a truck to come collect the structures from donators at no cost. Needed repairs are made and the structures are disassembled, taken into Mexico and rebuilt at the orphanages. The Buchholz family of Carmel Valley donated their

structure to Ethan as their children are now in high school and no longer had the need for it. “I just think it’s a great idea and he is a terrific young man,” said Lynn Buchholz. “He sent a picture of our structure in Mexico with kids enjoying it and that was very thoughtful. It made my family feel good.” “It is also another great example for my kids of how we can always think of someone else less fortunate,” said Susan Weisman, who also donated her family’s play

structure. “Ethan is an excellent example of someone who knows how fortunate he is and understands what giving back really means. He wants to make a difference and he is.” While he hasn’t been present when the structures are put up (because the crew works on weekdays and he’s still in school), he has received thank you notes from the orphanages with photos of the children. “It made me feel like I was making an impact,” Ethan said. “I put my work into something that was meaningful, my work wasn’t busy work it was constructive and something that those kids are benefiting from.” In addition to helping out those less fortunate, Ethan said he has received a boost from his project, as well. He said his communication skills have improved and he is more comfortable speaking and working with adults, something he didn’t often have the opportunity to do before.

RSF students offer healing and comfort through food A group of 11 Pacific Ridge School students, including Rancho Santa Fe residents Ariana Bancroft, Kati Perry and Haley Klaus, recognized the need to share the culture and comfort of food with people far from home. That’s why they formed the service learning group Cooking Cures to purchase, cook and serve dinner at the Ronald McDonald House for families of patients at Rady Children’s Hospital. The service learning curriculum at Pacific Ridge School integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, encourage lifelong civic engagement, and strengthen communities for the common good. Students from the Cooking Cures service learning group agree, “it’s more rewarding to work on a project through the whole school, rather than to volunteer for a small number of hours. Working together can be hard, but it teaches us to understand each other better.” The students have spent the majority of the 2010-2011 academic year mapping out their plans and fundraising to purchase the needed materials for their group. On Dec. 3, the Cooking Cures service learning group prepared and served food to the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. The group will visit again on March 11. Ronald McDonald House asks volunteer groups to have the resources to feed 150 people at dinner. The Cooking Cures service learning group will need to raise $250 to accommodate that population for the March visit. With an intent to also make a global impact, Cooking Cures aims to donate food to families in need through Heifer International, a non-profit organization whose goal is to help end world hunger and poverty through self-reliance and sustainability. The group aims to raise $140 to buy a flock of chickens and a goat for Heifer International before the end of the academic year.

Next â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Face of Musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concert will engage ears, eyes â&#x20AC;Ś and noses An interview with La Jolla Symphony & Chorus director Steven Schick By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Contributor Steven Schick, UCSD distinguished professor of music, was born and raised on an Iowa farm. There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many musicians around, but his mother played piano, and he wanted to be a drummer in a rock band. He ended up studying percussion at the University of Iowa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the drums that hooked me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But percussion is not just drums, it was a whole new world. And we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just trying to master the medium, but expand it. We were bringing down the property values of classical music!â&#x20AC;? For the record, percussion encompasses anything that makes a sound when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struck, scraped or shaken, and that includes gongs, cowbells, marimbas, trashcans, and brake drums. A renowned performer and ardent advocate of contemporary music, Schick joined the UCSD faculty in 1991. His graduate course in â&#x20AC;&#x153;new music performanceâ&#x20AC;? morphed into the percussion ensemble redfishbluefish, whose artistic director he remains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After we were invited to play at Lincoln Center, calling it Music 201C didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut it anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said. In 2007, he became music director and conductor of the

He also builds electro-

acoustical instruments and sound sculptures out of junk and found objects. His idea of music performance? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things should sound cool and look interesting,â&#x20AC;? he said. Applebaum first came up with the idea for a florist concerto on an airplane in 1999, when he found himself seated next to James DelPrince, head of the floristry program at Mississippi State University, where they both taught. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never heard of a floristry program, but I immediately asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever thought of being a performance florist,â&#x20AC;? Applebaum said. They did their first performance in 2000, with the composer and a percussionist making music while DelPrince created a 15-foot cornucopia of spruce fronds, apples, flowers, and tinsel. Once Applebaum came to Stanford, they did two more pieces there, in 2002 and 2008. Schick was part of the 2008 performance, which included an elaborate set of Dada-ist activities. Schick liked it so much that he commissioned Applebaum to make a new version for La Jolla Symphony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve is fearless, endlessly curious and excited to try new things,â&#x20AC;? Applebaum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like me, he's an experimentalist at heart. But none of those Dadaist things are in the new concerto. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 3-movement, 18minute piece that could stand on its own, even without the florist. But the florist will take it over the top.â&#x20AC;? As 80 musicians play,

Tapenade Restaurant serves traditional French Provençal cuisine fused with contemporary American influences in a classic bistro atmosphere. PHOTOS BY WILL PARSON

The menu includes classic French dishes, along with seasonal flavors for popular items like venison.

Oh là là! It’s French cuisine at its finest at Tapenade BY WILL PARSON Contributor he fine French dining experience can be a daunting one for the uninitiated, but rest assured that Tapenade is accustomed to regulars and first-timers alike. Chef Jean-Michel Diot and his staff are ready to make the experience not only exquisite but also educational. After all, Diot and his wife Sylvie sought out San Diego specifically as a place to raise their two children, citing the weather and the family environment. So they are well aware that they are a long way from New York where their old restaurant was one of many. However, you will feel a bit closer to Provence, where their menu originates.

Maître d’ Ludovic Mifsud and his staff will gladly help guide guests through Tapenade’s menu choices.

Tapenade chooses its amuse-bouche starters based on seasonal ingredients.

Tapenade’s Maître d’ Ludovic Mifsud, himself a Provençal export, sees San Diego’s unique character positively. “It’s definitely more laid back than you will have in New York or Chicago, which is actually really good. It’s a nice twist and we like it. I think here people try to learn a lot about food,” he said. Accordingly, Mifsud and trusted staff will gladly guide the willing through their meals. One inevitably starts with the amusebouche and can then progress either to an appetizer like the Wild Mushroom Ravioli, which has been a favorite since the restaurant opened in 1998 (and is on the Happy Hour menu as well). Alternatively, one can head straight to an entree from the traditional menu, replete with escargots and coq au vin, or the

spätzles, braised cabbage and wine-poached Seckel pear. For dessert, try a poached pear stuffed with hazelnut chocolate, plated with a smattering of fruit, a streak of caramel sauce and a scoop of ginger ice cream. It goes well with a glass of champagne. Weekends at Tapenade keep the waiters bustling, but the main dining room isn’t overwhelming even at full capacity. Private rooms are available for larger groups, but with few at the bar, a smaller party might find that the bistro area can be quiet enough. The bistro area has the added benefit of being a more casual area, even if the service is the same. So, if you feel a little underdressed — even for San Diego — there’s no need to worry. You can try your first escargot without a large audience.

uct “emulates running outdoors without the associated impact,” according to the company’s website. The device is the brainchild of Bryan Pate, a former cyclist and Ironman triathlete who started having problems with running due to hip and knee injuries. He took his idea to former colleague Brent Teal, a mechanical engineer and former Ironman competitor who resides in Solana Beach. Teal began working on designs and, along with Pate, turned the concept into reality. Six years and several prototypes later, ElliptiGO is moving full-speed ahead. Feb. 26 marked the first anniversary of the delivery of the company’s first production bike. Pate said there are four target customer groups: injured runners, which is the company’s primary focus; fitness enthusiasts; people who are or were recreational cyclists; and those who are healthy and want to cross-train.

It has an advantage over regular bikes in that the rider is higher up, giving them greater visibility to cars and a better field of view.

Local dentists help ease ‘dental drama’ through sedation By Karen Billing Staff Writer Going to the dentist usually prompts a little bit of anxiety for most people, but for some people it is an absolute fear.

Twenty “Table Captains” rallied their teams of 10, gave themselves team names, and arrived at the Hilton Torrey Pines for an evening packed with fun. Guests first entered the colorful pre-game room complete with delectable food stations, bars serving Clickmopolitans in glowing cosmo glasses, and a silent auction. Some teams decorated their tables with clappers and pom poms, others wore lights in their hair while still others came dressed as their team name suggested, such as The Red Hot Tamales who all came dressed in red or the ChiTazs, all of whom wore animal print outfits. At 7:15 sharp the doors opened and guests filtered into the Click! game show set. Within minutes, teams began competing in a fun and interactive manner as they clicked their clickers answering trivia questions, Name That Tune, Survey Says, and other games. After each round of ten questions, the top three teams sent a representative to the stage where they faced off in a Costume Challenge where they pulled costumes out of a basket and dressed in outrageously funny outfits.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Friendship is tested in ‘The Drawer Boy’ at North Coast Rep By Diana Saenger REVIEW A play about a theater student leaving Toronto to research farm life in the countryside may sound trivial, but the scenario becomes a harvest of fun in Michael Healey’s humorous, intriguing and well-acted script, “The Drawer Boy,” on stage through March 20 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCR). Miles (Kevin KoppmanGue, “Into the Woods,” “The History Boys”) arrives in rural settings with expectations and a notebook. He knocks on the door of one farmhouse and meets Angus (Paul Hopper, “Richard III,” “Scoundrel”) a somewhat disheveled man who Miles later learns suffered a brain injury in World War II. Miles explains that he’s looking to become a farmhand in exchange for the experience he needs to finish a script he’s writing. Angus agrees to get his roommate/caretaker Morgan (Frank Corrado, “Madagascar,” “Oedipus”) on the case, but once he closes the door on Miles, Angus returns to what he

Kevin Koppman-Gue, Paul Hopper and Frank Corrado play three interesting characters in ‘The Drawer Boy.’ Credit Aaron Rumley always does best – make a ham sandwich. However, Morgan hears Angus talking to someone and so re-opens the door to

listen to Miles’ curious offer. Always in need of help, Morgan agrees to feed and house Miles in exchange for real work – milking cows,

moving hay, and transplanting crops. He also explains Angus’ delicate condition and lays down the do’s and don’ts to Miles about his dear friend. Much humor ensues, as Angus becomes the focus of attention. Everyday is a new day for him because he’s unable to process or recall the past and is locked into daily patterns — mainly making that ham sandwich. “The Drawer Boy” is lightly based on the experiences of some young actors who, in 1972, were sent to Canada to live with and interview farmers. From their new associations came a script, “The Farm Show,” that was transformed for several mediums. David Ellenstein’s direction of “The Drawer Boy” is seamless, and all three actors excel in their portrayals of these quirky characters. Koppman-Gue as Miles has the effervescent of a young and unsteady youth who isn’t sure about his future, but willing to go to the distance to make good at what he’s doing. It’s the storytelling aspect of what Morgan tells him about his

and Angus’ past, however, that makes Miles determined to change Angus’ life. Corrado is steady and unbending as Morgan. A

man, seemingly with a chip on his shoulder, his actions lead the audience to think one thing while, in essence, it’s far from the truth. His realization that letting Miles into their home may be worse than a past transgression consumes his every move. Hopper steals the show with his sensational performance as Angus. Playing a character stuck in a rut would appear easy, but it’s those few moments in conversation with either Miles or Morgan, when Angus connects with a moment from his past and steals a trifle of happiness that makes this play profound. A good story and superb actors can only transport an audience with the proper backdrop. So thanks to the NCRT team — Marty Burnett (Scenery), Matt Novotny (Lighting), Valerie Henderson, (Costumes), Chris L u e s s m a n n (Sound/Projection) and Annie Bornhurst (Props and Set) — The Drawer Boy’s journey between truth and fiction becomes one well worth taking.

Don’t miss ‘Gold Frenzy’ March 9 By Ginger Bord Right now the going price for gold is about $1,400 an ounce, the price of gold is based on the London Gold fix price for the day and is the industry standard. Gold Mountain Ventures is a licensed company that is registered by the Department of Justice to buy gold. Their scales have been registered and sealed by the Weights and Measures Division for the State of California in order to insure a 100 percent accurate pricing. Mountain Ventures, a family-owned gold buying business in Southern California, is coming to the Rancho Santa Fe Garden for a day of Gold Frenzy on Wednesday, March 9, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Garden Club will host representatives from Mountain Ventures. You bring in those gold and platinum pieces that are no longer desired or broken or a pair that is missing the other one! The representative will sit with you, go through your pieces, weigh them and then offer you a price. If you agree to the price, the Mountain Ventures representative will write you a check for the amount, which he will then hand to you. It’s that easy! But wait, there is an upside to this event for the Garden Club. Mountain Ventures works on referrals, they do not advertise on TV or have retail spaces. By offering the Garden Club as a location for this event, Mountain Ventures will return 10 percent of the total of their payout for the day. You walk out with a check for 100 percent value on your items and then Mountain Ventures gives the Garden Club 10 percent, so everyone wins. This is a unique fundraiser and promises to be a fun day. Start looking in your assortment of jewelry and “weeding” out those items you would like to trade in for cash. In February a lovely luncheon was given to recognize those volunteers that work so faithfully at The Shoppe. These volunteers work in the lower level of The Garden Club sorting through donations, making them presentable and then selling the items to the public. The Shoppe is not widely known, not even in the Ranch, but it is a great depository for those items that you are replacing or cannot be used anymore. Women’s and men’s clothing, decorative objects, kitchen things from nice sets of dishes to potato peelers. Vases, tools, collectibles, Barbie dolls, designer shoes, small furniture pieces, silver pieces, costume jewelry and so much more. The sales

from your donations help, mightily, to support the Garden Club. The more inventory The Shoppe has the more sales, hence more for The Garden Club. The Shoppe can use your gently used items and pretty “chatskis” all year long, please drop your boxes and bags of “stuff” at The Shoppe. The Shoppe is open 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. Hint: while you are going through your jewelry for Gold Frenzy look at your costume jewelry, it sells well at The Shoppe and is always needed! The Shoppe is located in the lower level of The Garden Club, on La Granada at the corner of Avenida de Acaias. The Garden Club is also interested in your health, after all if you are healthy you can garden more! Join the Cultivate Your Heart Yoga classes with instructor Carris Rhodes. The class is on Saturdays, 10 a.m.-11:15 a.m. and is suitable for all ages and levels of ability. The fee for each class is $10 for Garden Club members and $15 for non-members. If Yoga isn’t what you are looking for then you can join certified Pilates instructor Connie Snow on Monday mornings, 10 a.m.-11 a.m. for a Pilates workout. Time is really flying and May will be here before you know it! The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club Garden Tour will be on Saturday May 7, and will include an Open Market at the club.

Helping your children develop friendships By Dr. Keith Kanner The capacity for a child to develop good, solid friendships is an important developmental acquisition and paves the way for future interpersonal happiness. In past columns, I have discussed how good friendships often represent what was observed in the early relationships with parents: compassion, trust, open communication, and someone to share with. As children grow and develop as individuals, they p u s h a w a y from their parents through adolescence and look to t h e i r friends for supDr. Keith Kanner

the adolescent years. Once into young adulthood, however, the relationships with one's child again becomes close and contemporary, which should make the parent feel convinced that this variance between oneself and their child is only temporary. However, maintaining friendships is not easy, especially for small children. Given beliefs in people being "fair" and "nice" all of the time (as the consciences of children between the ages of 3 and 11 tell them), it is common for small children to dismiss their friendships once tension is in the air. Comments such as "he is not my friend anymore because he teased me" are frequent and typically misread as "not being friends," rather than just a dispute. These types of interactions can lead to periods of isolation and sadness if

Your Family Matters port and caring that was evident in their previous relationships with the parent. Peers offer an experience of someone who is right in a period of life as they are which can be very helpful and comforting. Any parent who owns an SUV and has an adolescent has witnessed this type of interaction as they hear the caring and loving interactions between the adolescents in the back seat of the car and wonder why their children no longer talk to them in this fashion. This is an example of the shift from parental closeness to peer closeness which lasts through

a child expects his or her relationships to always run smoothly. Second, often times children tend to only have a single friendship, rather than a pool of friends to pick from. Here, when conflicts arise, the child is often left bored and frustrated which can lead to conflicts at home or in school. Understanding concepts such as sharing or reciprocity, taking turns, learning how to put themselves in the other's shoes, being sensitive and compassionate, tolerating envy, and bad sportsmanship as well as trying to find commonalities with peers, are

additional necessities that children need to understand and practice if they are going to maintain solid relationships. So, how can these tasks be taught to children? In some schools and camps, these types of skills are reinforced, but in most cases, the parent or parents need to work together with their child in understanding the complexities of friendships and come to a determination that all friendships are confusing and include conflict — they are never perfect! Just because a friend becomes jealous, competitive and, at times, just rotten, does not mean they are not a friend — perhaps they are just having a bad day at home or at school, or out of envy, are being mean that day. We all know, by experiencing the ups and downs with our children's friends, as well as those with our adult friends, as well, that time heals. Common conflicts resolve in time and the foundation of the friendship remains intact —this is why having more than a single friend is important when a break is needed, when sparks are flying with one, and why additionally developing the skills to resolve conflicts by talking with one another is also an important talent to develop. In many ways, the ups and downs children and adolescents experience with their peers is no different from those adults experience. The primary difference is that most adults have the skills and knowledge to understand that friendships are never perfect and contain degrees of conflict periodically allowing for an acceptance of conflict. A primary role of a parent is to

teach these life lessons to their children, sometimes using their own experiences with their friends as examples which give the child a sense of normalcy and comfort in tolerating interpersonal conflict. The parent can then encourage and help their children resolve such common conflicts and promote and help arrange time with friends. Key Points: 1. Help kids understand that friendships are not perfect 2. Conflict is implicit in all relationships 3. Arguments do not mean they are not friends 4. Encourage compassion, sharing, and to look for common interests 5. Help them resolve conflicts in a constructive manner 6. Encourage a pool of friends and help them arrange dates Dr. Kanner is a certified and licensed clinical child, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst with a private practice in Rancho Santa Fe.

Flirting with disaster Dear Dr. Diana, A couple of years ago, I developed a relationship with another woman that was inappropriate. Without going into detail, we were intimate but not completely. My wife found some notes that my friend had written me and suspected that I had an affair. In an effort to appease her, I told her that I was just supporting a co-worker going through a rough time. Somehow, she knew that I wasn’t being truthful; our relationship that was already having problems seems to keep getting worse. She is angry and critical of me all the time. I'm afraid if I tell her the truth that she will never let it go. She'll hound me about it for the rest of our lives. And yet, it's been a year since she found the notes and it keeps coming up between us. I don't want to get Diana Weissdivorced. We have a good life together. Wisdom, Ph.D. How can we get past this — Anonymous Dear Mr. Anonymous, While infidelity often results in divorce, on occasion, with a lot of mutual effort on the couples’ part, it can be the stimulus to improve the marriage. With affairs of all kinds, the biggest challenge is re-establishing trust. The person who was cheated on has an extremely difficult time getting past it. If the person who did the cheating does the work that is necessary to rebuild trust then possibly over a period of several years (I’m sorry to say) trust may be restored. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t go all the way. What matters is that you had an affair that involved sexual and emotional intimacy. It sounds like you and your wife have some negative patterns that interfere with being able to talk in general. You may be trying to keep the peace or protect yourself from her wrath but it’s not working so far. You may need to tell your wife about your relationship in order to move past it. But maybe you need to till the soil first by having some intimate conversations on how you can communicate with each other better. Research shows that something as simple as taking time to understand each other with an open heart can help to reestablish a positive emotional bond. It can also help if you identify your recurring negative cycle as a couple. For example, a partner may be angry, pushy, and critical, when underneath, they are hurt and frustrated at the lack of connection in the relationship. Instead of talking about their hurt and frustration, they complain and criticize which pushes the person they want to be close to even further away. Then they become even more frustrated and voila, a vicious negative cycle develops. If you find that you still can’t reach each other and feel safe to talk about what you need to, you may need a couples’ counselor to facilitate the process. I recommend that in the meantime, you and your wife read, “Hold Me Tight,” by Sue Johnson, Ph.D. This book offers a research proven approach for creating and strengthening adult loving relationships. Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist (PSY#12476) specializing in couples counseling, premarital counseling, and stepfamilies. Her practice is in the Rancho Santa Fe/Carmel Valley area. (858) 259-0146; www.drdianaweiss-wisdom.com

KIDS KORPS REINFORCES MY PASSION TO REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED By Nicolas Kharrazian Senior at Santa Fe Christian High School

Eva Newby painting her new little preschool friend.

On Friday, Feb. 11, Kids Korps volunteers joined together to host the annual Valentine’s Party at St. Leo’s Head Start Preschool for low-income families in Solana Beach. After lining up and waiting patiently, 50 anxious preschoolers were led out to the playground to enjoy themselves with “big kids” from Kids Korps. Little smiles greeted the face painting and craft tables—and of course the cupcake-making station was received with much enthusiasm. Soon the sunny play-area was filled with laughter, and makeshift tag games where the kids were able to enjoy just being kids. You couldn’t help but smile at the simple yet important moments of joy in these children’s young lives. However, a sense of sadness overcame me as I began to think that this year I will be graduating and leaving these children who I have mentored through the years. Since joining Kids Korps 8 years ago, and then becoming a part of Teen Korps, I have been able to help facilitate some of the fundamental needs for the children at St. Leo’s. From reading books to them or throwing holiday parties, Kids Korps has allowed me to reach out to these children who are in need of a

basic educational foundation and an opportunity to develop a successful future. However these children have had just as great of an impact on me—humbling me with their curiosity and teaching me how to experience the joy of being a kid again. My continued work with Kids Korps and Teen Korps has reinforced my passion to reach out to those in need in my community, lending me invaluable experience which I will take with me to my university and beyond. KIDS KORPS VOLUNTEERS SHARE THEIR HEARTS WITH CHILDREN AT WOMENTS RESOURCE CENTER Earlier this month the Sycamore Ridge Kids Korps Chapter visited the Women’s Resource Center in Oceanside. Women’s Resource Center is dedicated to providing the highest quality supportive services, counseling, shelter and education to women, men and children involved in or threatened by domestic violence or sexual assault. The kids made Valentine’s Day cards and decorated lots of cookies together. One of the 3 years old girls said, “Look mommy I have so much frosting I have a mountain on my cookie”. Kids Korps members have been hosting holiday parties for local shelters and Head Start Preschools for more than a decade.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Congregation Beth Am offers variety of religious, social events City National Bank

Rabbi David Kornberg By Karen Billing Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley is working hard to meet the needs of its large and growing membership, offering a full slate of religious services but also fun and social opportunities for its members and surrounding communities. Beth Am, a Conservative Jewish congregation, offers a variety of services throughout the week, sometimes three a day. Their Friday Rock’n Shabbat services even feature a live band with singing and dancing every second Friday of the month. Rabbi David Kornberg

has been at Beth Am since 1997, when the congregation still met in a small building while the new sanctuary was being built. He’s been the senior rabbi since 1999 and has seen the congregation

swell to about 600 families— people travel from as far away as Oceanside to be a part of it. Beth Am prides itself on its close community feel. “We’re a large synagogue with a very small-time feel,” said Debra Clemons, program director. Kornberg said they are a congregation that serves people from “birth to death” and they strive to engage everyone with their program offerings. “We’ve always focused a lot on our youth and youth programs, but we’ve started to really focus on adults, as well,” Kornberg said. New this year for adults is the Ultra Fit Challenge, a “workout for the mind” that Kornberg said gets participants in shape Judicially. Starting March 6, the twoweek program includes a myriad of classes on parenting, the Israel conflict, yoga, dancing, practical Judaism, music, history and business ethics. Beth Am is also hosting an “Israel in the Crosshairs” speaker series sponsored by Dr. Bob and Mao Shillman.

The second in the three-part series, which will be held on Sunday, March 6, will feature David Brog, the executive director of Christians United for Israel. While adult activities will increase, Beth Am’s youth program continues to be strong and is one of the largest in the region, even rivaling Los Angeles. They just started a new youth program for students in seventh through 12th grade called Sabra, which keeps young people engaged through classes on leadership, art, relationships, yoga and even offers community service projects. Additionally, Beth Am will host a Purim Carnival on March 20 featuring games, a petting zoo, karaoke and live music. “All our events are open to the public and we hope the community comes and enjoys them,” Clemons said. Beth Am is located at 5050 Del Mar Heights Road. For more information, visit betham.com.

To Your Health Help for headaches: Tools to treat and prevent pain By Robert Bonakdar, MD, Scripps Health Recently, an entertainment reporter made headlines for her garbled, confused speech during a live broadcast. While many people guessed that she had suffered a stroke on the air, it turned out that her speech problems were a side effect of a severe migraine headache. While such extreme symptoms may be unusual, many headache sufferers can relate. Headaches affect 90 percent of people, and can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain. The pain can feel like throbbing, stabbing, pressure or a dull ache. It can last from a few hours to a few days. Severe headaches can also be accompanied by speech or vision problems, nausea, muscle aches and insomnia. The fact that there are so many types of headaches makes them a difficult beast to treat. Often, we have the most success by taking a comprehensive integrative approach with multiple tools. This often means receiving consultation and overview of available preventive and acute strategies. These discussions can help to best determine what approaches, including lifestyle change, medications, diet and supplements, physical and mind-body therapies, as well as procedures such as acupuncture or various injections, may be most appropriate for your particular circumstance. The first step is to determine what type of headache you are having and what may be causing it. Tension-type headaches, for example, may be the result of tight muscles caused by too many hours at the computer. Migraine headaches may be triggered by foods, strong odors, changes in the weather, bright lights and hormonal fluctuations. Being overweight can increase headache duration and intensity. Stress can be a culprit in all types of headaches.

Diet is a very common trigger. Alcohol (especially red wine), foods with monosodium glutamate (MSG), excessive caffeine, preserved meats with nitrates and nitrites, and foods that contain tyramine (such as aged cheeses) are among the common triggers. Skipped meals and dehydration can bring on headaches as well. In cases where diet is a factor, we have patients meet with a nutritionist to identify triggers and develop a diet plan that avoids or minimizes them. Also, studies have shown that up to a third of patients who have frequent headaches may be low in certain nutrients, such as magnesium, riboflavin, and CoQ10. Since it may be difficult to compensate for these low levels through diet alone, w may recommend supplements as well. Paradoxically, exercise can help some types of headaches and trigger others. A lack of exercise can contribute to headaches in some patients; many find that cardiac exercise that gets the blood flowing can help relieve headache pain by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the brain. For others, however, a rapid change in heart rate or blood flow can set off a migraine. In these cases, we help people learn to exercise correctly to obtain the health benefits without triggering headache. For example, patients may ride stationary bicycles while we guide them through slowly increasing their heart rate, maintaining it at a safe rate, and then slowly cooling down. Sleep is another very important factor. Too little or too much sleep can trigger headaches, as can disruptions to your usual sleep schedule or hormonal changes that affect sleep. Ideally, we like to see patients obtain at least seven hours of sleep. Often, meeting with a sleep therapist can help improve your sleep habits

and get much-needed rest to prevent headaches. In addition, several complementary therapies can help. Extensive studies have found that acupuncture treats and can prevent frequent migraine and tension headache; a series of eight to 12 sessions lasting twenty to thirty minutes each provided headache relief that may last for several months following treatment. Biofeedback is another highly effective treatment. Patients learn to identify and recognize potential triggers such as muscle tension, shallow breathing and stress; at that point, they can initiate breathing exercises or other relaxation techniques that they have learned to prevent a full-blown headache. Biofeedback can be very empowering; patients learn the techniques over four weeks and have these valuable tools for the rest of their lives. Because some studies have found that over 90 percent of headaches have some type of muscle knots and soreness in the soft tissue, known as trigger points, we often collaborate

with physical therapists to use techniques such as myofascial release, massage, and cranial sacral therapy to reduce tension and improve range of motion of the neck and upper back. Yoga can also be a marvelous tool to retrain the muscles in a mindful and relaxed environment with the goal, similar to biofeedback, of noticing and preventing patterns that contribute to headache. Lastly, various techniques, including trigger point, occipital nerve and botox injections that reduce muscle and nerve abnormalities associated with headache, can also provide relief. There is no one “best” solution to headache pain; what works for one patient may not work for another. Often, a combination of these therapies is the most effective plan to relieve and prevent headaches. Join Robert Bonakdar, MD, and Christy Jackson, MD, to learn about effective conventional and complementary treatment options for headache relief on Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. There is no charge; please call 1-800-SCRIPPS to register.

print hat and heels. One challenge included a scavenger hunt where team reps raced around the room collecting items in order to garner the winning points. Items included a child’s toy, a gym membership card, an out of state license, a person over 80, and black nail polish. The competition was stiff as winning teams vied for the one audience member with the polish on her toes! The event, although a lot of fun, had a serious mission as well; to raise funds for education about bipolar disorder and suicide awareness. Connie Kennemer read a heartfelt letter she had written imploring those considering suicide to live one more day. Rex & Connie Kennemer lost their son Todd to suicide 5 years ago.
