Three political newcomers take on Issa in 49th New congressional district includes Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Solana Beach

JMI Realty paid $28 million, according to county records

BY JOE TASH A new chapter in the 90-year history of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe began last week when JMI Realty, the real estate investment firm of San Diego Padres owner John Moores and his partner, Ranch Santa Fe resident John Kratzer, purchased the property for $28 million, according to county property records.

JMI plans to spend $12 million on renovating more than half of The Inn’s 107 guest rooms, in a project that will start in September and conclude next May. The renovation project will also involve moving and upgrading the historic hotel’s spa.

This week, the new management company brought in by JMI, Benchmark Hospitality International, was assuming operations of The Inn, with a management transition team in place, said Kratzer.

The property fit in well with JMI Realty’s goals of acquiring properties that can See INN, page 26

BY JOE TASH On June 5, residents of the 49th Congressional District will choose between four candidates to represent them in the U.S. House of Representatives: Republican Darrell Issa, who seeks his seventh term, and three political newcomers who have never run for office before.

A lot has changed since the last congressional election in 2010: for one thing, the boundaries of the district have been redrawn following the 2010 census, as they are every decade. The new district includes Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Solana Beach, and, according to Issa, contains only about 31 percent of territory from the previous district boundaries.

Secondly, California’s new open primary law means all voters, regardless of political registration, will be able to vote for all candidates on the ballot. The top two vote-getters in June will face off in a See NEWCOMERS, page 26

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Buzz: PAC, Assembly Bill, Tournament champions Ag. board cuts off cooperation with Del Mar

BY RSF ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT JACK QUEEN Just over 10 years ago the Rancho Santa Fe Association established a Political Action Committee or PAC to better represent our community on issues that either impacted our community or had the potential to impact us. The official name of our PAC is the “Residents for a Secure Future” and to our knowledge we are only the homeowners association in California that currently maintains an active PAC. Funding for the PAC comes from our members’ contributions that we received with the annual billings for assessments and the PAC balance currently totals about $390,000.

Even though it will never be considered a super PAC that we hear so much about these days, it has been a very successful tool for helping to get our concerns heard. We have used funds in the past

to support incumbents in positions that have shown support for our community.

Those efforts have been primarily in elections for County Supervisors as they have a direct impact on Rancho Santa Fe and the services we receive.

We have also weighed in at the state level with funds from our PAC in conjunction with the California Association of Community Managers or CACM. CACM is the largest state organization that represents homeowners association Jack Queen and they take a very proactive position on changes to state laws that could impact the over 47,000 homeowners associations in California.

This year the California legislature is considering Assembly Bill 408, which is a 104-page pending revision to the Davis-Stirling Act that governs HOAs. The Rancho Santa Fe Association will be taking an active role in the review of this pending legislation and we will make our voice heard in areas that impact us.

For the last 22 years the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club has participated in the Valley Cup Tournament which pits members of the local golf clubs in a three-day tournament to establish a local champion. Thanks to the hard work of captains Jim Boon and Dave Scherer, Rancho Santa Fe won the overall competition for the first time in over 10 years.

What is really impressive is that they pulled it off without having to recruit Phil Mickelson as a ringer.

Assessment Review deadline is April 30 Some property owners are submitting a request for review of their assessed property value with the County Assessor’s Office.

Ernie Dronenburg, the San Diego County Assessor, reminds property owners that the deadline to request a review of their assessed value is April 30, 2012. This year, the application for an Assessment Review may be submitted online at sdarcc.com. It is a self-explanatory form and does not take a lot of knowledge about the law, only an understanding of the current market value of your home.

in possible environmental litigation settlement

BY CLAIRE HARLIN The 22nd District Agricultural Association is suspending cooperation with the City of Del Mar in settling an environmental lawsuit against the fairgrounds operating board, announced the entity on April 13.

“We can’t in good conscience move forward with any other cooperative efforts,” said Ag. Board President Adam Day. “They presented to us a set of deal points in February, which our board quickly and unanimously approved. We have since been waiting for a draft agreement that we finally got on [April 6] and, unfortunately, that draft doesn’t reflect the deal points as originally proposed, and they are so far out of whack that we had no choice but to reject that draft.”

The fair board has been in negotiations with Del Mar, Solana Beach and the San Diego River Park Joint Powers Authority (JPA) to settle the lawsuit, which was filed last June over the Fairgrounds Master Plan Environmental Impact Report

(EIR). The stakeholders agreed in February to settlement terms such as implementing a joint public transportation shuttle to mitigate traffic impacts during the fair.

The Ag. Board met on April 10 to discuss the draft, and on April 13 the board issued a press release claiming the City of Del Mar jeopardized the litigation by making new demands, causing a “serious setback” to the possible settlement.

Del Mar City Manager Scott Huth said specifics of the proposed settlement draft can’t be discussed due to ongoing litigation, and part of the agreement between stakeholders was to meet on a management level to work out issues cooperatively, as opposed to publicly airing issues amid negotiations.

“The board decided to take a different approach, and we don’t see how it fosters a cooperative relationship among the JPA, Solana Beach and Del Mar,” Huth said, adding that Del Mar wants to work through issues in a way that maintains a good long-term relation-

ship among those involved.

“We want to stay at the table and work with the fair board.”

Huth said Del Mar’s position is that all agreed-upon concepts raised in the last correspondence with the Ag. Board were met in the draft agreement.

“It wasn’t final; it was a draft,” he said. “We expected them to have some feedback, and we were encouraging them to come to the table to work through that.

Aside from the public tactic here, we hope there is still that opportunity to move forward.”

Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard said it’s not uncommon to run into kinks when moving from a general agreement to “filling in the blanks.”

“When you start spelling out the details, you run into these little bumps in the road,” Hilliard said, adding that Day and Ag. Board member Dave Watson are good negotiators. He pointed specifically to their success in negotiating the yearslong dispute with the Cali-

Celebrity defense attorney shares insights during lecture series

BY PAT SHERMAN Internationally renown criminal defense attorney Roger J. Rosen shared stories about his most high-profile cases, including those involving Phil Spector, O.J. Simpson, Kim Basinger, Al Pacino and the Roger Rosen Church of Scientology, during April’s Group of 12 & Friends brown bag lunch.

The group, which meets regularly at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, listened attentively as the Los Angeles attorney spoke about the considerations of defending celebrities.

“No matter how much the client, both personally and professionally, has spent in the public eye, you as the lawyer have to prepare him or her to deal (with the media firestorm),” Rosen said.

“You sit next to Al Pacino and you can’t imagine what questions he would possibly have. He’s ‘The Godfather,’ right? But there are plenty. … No matter how many times they’ve sat in front of the camera — it may have been as a director or a producer — they’ve never sat in that chair that says de-

fendant, and that’s a whole different ballgame.”

In an age where cameras and media are omnipresent, a celebrity defendant’s image is everything, including how he or she walks, holds themselves, dresses and styles their hair, Rosen said.

“Whenever I speak I always get the same question from some lawyer: ‘How much control did you exercise over Mr. Spector?’” Rosen said. “I always say, ‘It’s real simple — look at his hair.’ I exercised no control over him.”

Phil Spector was accused in the 2003 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson, whose body was found in Spector’s Alhambra home.

Rosen served as lead prosecutor on the case, though he said he reached a breaking point with Spector when the music producer, famous for his “Wall of Sound,” repeatedly refused to follow his advice.

“Mr. Spector did not get my services in the second trial,” Rosen said. “I think if you look in the dictionary under the phrase ‘control freak,’ his picture is there.”

To deal with the often-insatiable egos and eccentricities of some clients, Rosen said he has to play psychologist, mother, father, best friend, and, at times, worst enemy — relaying truth a client may not want to hear.

When a trial is over, Rosen said he prefers to demur from the spotlight.

“When the play has ended, you go out the side door and down the alley,” he said.

“You’re not the story, (although) a lot of See ATTORNEY, page 24

RSF’s Teddy Oitzman shoots 5 under par to win Las Vegas Championship Teddy Oitzman, an 8th grade student at Santa Fe Christian School and Rancho Santa Fe resident, shot 5 under par 139 to win the Las Vegas Championship recently at Primm Valley Golf Club. Over the two-day tournament, Oitzman carded 3 eagles, 9 birdies and 15 pars en route to the win. Although he won the tournament by two strokes, he birdied the last two holes to secure the championship.

“It was a great golf course that set up well for my game. I was hitting the ball pretty well going into the tournament and was able to keep it going and make some putts,” said Oitzman.

The tournament is part of Future Champions Golf World Series Events sponsored by Callaway. It featured nearly 200 of the best players in the western United States and is one of six World Series events. The win earned Oitzman an invitation to the Callaway Junior World Golf Championship at Torrey Pines this summer.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF resident David Perkins elected to La Jolla Institute board

RSF 76-year-old plans challenging Grand Canyon hike in memory of late wife

Rancho Santa Fe resident David Perkins is one of three distinguished San Diego business executives recently welcomed to the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology Board of Di- David Perkins rectors. The La Jolla Institute is a world leader in research to prevent or cure diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other debilitating diseases based on harnessing the immense power of the immune system.

Perkins is president & CEO of Pacific Coast Steel, Inc., one of the largest and most successful reinforcing steel contractors in the United States. Also joining the board were: life science executives Gail Naughton, Ph.D., chairman & CEO of Histogen, Inc, a developer of regenerative medicine therapies, and Charles Cashion, co-founder and chief financial officer of Conatus Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is working to develop new therapies for liver disease and cancer.

“We are honored to attract these three high-caliber individuals to our board, each of whom brings energy, insight and a track record of stellar accomplishment,” said Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., La Jolla Institute president & chief scientific officer.

Robert Wood, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident, has decided to take on the challenge of crossing the Grand Canyon in one day, rim to rim. Wood, 76, will be making the 23.5-mile trek that works up to a 8,200 feet elevation on May 17.

That date holds special significance for Wood as it is the Norwegian Holiday of Freedom. He will carry three Norwegian flags for his two children, who are half Norwegian, and one in memory of his Norwegian wife who was killed by a drunk driver on Via de la Valle in 1997.

Wood said he was inspired to do the hike by an article in the Rancho Santa Fe Review last year about RSF Association Manager Pete Smith’s 20th time making the crossing with a group of 30 locals. He thought, “Maybe I can do that. Why, I am only 76 years old!”

With help and advice from Smith, RSF’s Deana Ingalls and Greg Smith of Adventure 16 in Solana Beach, Wood began training.

He’s gotten himself into “reasonable shape,” logging just under 400 miles of hiking and over 40,000 feet of climbing.

Wood, who holds a doctorate in epidemiology and biostatistics, and is a veterinary

“They are a perfect complement to our already existing Board of highly respected business and scientific leaders, who support and guide our efforts to find new treatments for some of the world’s most debilitating diseases.”

Perkins said his interest in serving on the Institute’s board reflects his desire to contribute to the community and a lifelong appreciation for science. With several doctors in the family and a physicist father, Perkins originally thought about becoming a physician, initially studying pre-med at UC Berkeley.

“I eventually switched to law, but I’ve always stayed intrigued by medical science,” he said. “The advancements that the Institute is making on diabetes and other diseases can change people’s lives and is very exciting to be part of. I couldn’t think of a more important way to contribute to the community than to support the research activities of the La Jolla Institute.”

As head of Pacific Coast Steel, established in 1992, Perkins leads an organization with more than 1,000 employees in seven states. Prior to joining Pacific Coast, Perkins was managing partner and co-founder of San Diego-based law firm Perkins & Miltner, where he focused on civil, business and construction litigation.

Canyon Crest student a three-time winner of playwrights contest

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy junior Nachi Baru, 16, has become quite the prolific writer—for the third time winning the Playwrights Project’s California Young Playwrights Contest. His play “American Idyll” will be staged at the Lyceum Theater in Horton Plaza from April 20-29 (as part of Playwrights Project’s 27th Plays by Young Writers festival).

While past plays “The Exploits of Crusher, Mighty Amazonian King” and “In the Stars” were performed as readings in 2007 (Old Globe) and 2010 (Lyceum) respectively, his latest work will be staged as a full production. “American Idyll” has been in rehearsals for the last month with a professional director and actors.

“It’s great because what you imagine while you’re writing is way different than how someone interprets it,” Nachi said.

“The actors add their own interpretation and add inflection and character into your words and make it so much better.”

“American Idyll” takes place in a dystopian, future society where reading fiction and using your creativity or imagination is banned.

“What people consider creative is reality TV and tabloids and celebrity-obsessed culture,” said Nachi. “The protagonists are fighting to recapture the soul of what fiction is supposed to be.”

The message of Nachi’s play is pretty clear: he hopes that his fellow high school students will pay less attention to “mindless” reality shows like “Jersey Shore.”

“I don’t think people are reading books as much as they should be and creativity kind of gets sidelined,” Nachi said.

His play imagines what could happen if that trend is taken to the extreme, if people are content to be led by reality shows.

Nachi wrote his first play in the fourth grade during a play-writing residency taught by the Playwrights Project, a nonprofit

based in San Diego that tries to encourage young students to express themselves through writing plays and learn about language arts in a fun way.

Nachi has submitted eight plays to the contest and has won three times now.

Canyon Crest Academy “I have junior Nachi Baru a few years left under the age limit so I’m going to keep trying,” Nachi said.

Nachi, who also writes short stories and is a member of his school news magazine and science magazine, said that while he hopes to keep writing plays, he also wants to start writing in other genres. Ultimately, he’d love to parlay his talent and love of writing into a professional career.

Nachi encourages anyone interested in writing to try out the Playwrights Project’s contest. Even the times he hasn’t won have been a worthwhile experience as each play that doesn’t make it is given a full critique with advice on how to write a better play and get stronger as a writer.

“It’s just a growing experience,” said Nachi. “And to see your words come alive… nothing can beat that.”

RSF Women’s Fund Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson to be members to hear guest speaker at Fairbanks GOP Women reception grant proposals Former Governor of Wisconsin and current U. S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson will be the featured speaker at a reception hosted by Fairbanks April 25 Republican Women Federated on April 26 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club On Wednesday, April 25, members of the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund, a donor-advised fund of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, will gather at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to hear Grant Proposal presentations from 10 nonprofit organizations selected by the Grants Committee to be placed on the 2012 ballot.

Donna Vance, Grant Committee chair, will emcee the presentations.

Last fall, the RSFWF Grants Committee began reviewing program considerations from nearly 100 San Diego County non-profit organizations. The committee focused on grant requests in the areas of arts and culture, and education and research.

Members of the RSF Women’s Fund will receive their 2012 ballots at this meeting and begin the annual awards voting process.

In early May, after months of intense review by the Grants Committee, the final recipients of the 2012 awards will be determined by this general vote of the entire RSF Women’s Fund membership.

The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund, now comprised of more than 135 members, began in November 2004 as a means for local women to join one another in meaningful, engaging ways while supporting the unmet needs of North San Diego County. Through their well-developed and comprehensive grant making model, the power of the Women’s Fund members giving together has had a significant impact on the greater good throughout the community.

Since its inception in 2004 and through informed, focused, and collective grant-making, the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund, has given more than $1.6 million to regional non-profit agencies and expects to reach the $2 million benchmark by 2013.

For more information on the Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund, please contact: Nancy Hashim at 858756-0249; www.womensfund@rsffoundation.org

starting at 6 p.m.

Thompson was elected Governor in 1986, and re-elected to three additional terms, leaving in 2001 to become Secretary of Health and Human Ser- Tommy vices under President George H. W. Bush. The education, budget and welfare Thompson reforms achieved during his time in Wisconsin’s capitol became a national model. He is a current candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Herb Kohl (D). If successful, his election would further the possibility of Republicans winning back a legislative majority.

Fairbanks Republican Women Federated (FRWF) is one of the largest clubs chartered by the National Federation of Republican Women. Founded in 1994, its mission is to educate, inspire and encourage involvement in the political process.

Accomplished musicians to perform ‘From Paris to You’ concert at RSF Garden Club April 28 FanFaire Foundation presents “From Paris to You” with pianist Zachary Deak and violist Virginie d’Avezac de Castera, in partnership with the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, on April 28 at 2 p.m. at the RSF Garden Club.

Other performances in this Free Family Concerts Series take place on April 24 at Carlsbad City Library’s Schulman Auditorium (6:30 p.m.) and April 29 at La Jolla/Riford Branch Library (2 p.m.).

Frequent artistic collaborators, San Diego-born pianist Zachary Deak and Bordeaux-born violist de Castera have thoughtfully put together a diverse program of Baroque through 20th century music. The duo will perform Sergei Prokofiev’s Suite from Romeo and Juliet for Viola and Piano aptly described as an “opera without words” and Henri Vieuxtemps’ poignant Elegie op.30 for Viola and Piano. Zachary Deak opens the program with a solo performance of Domenico Scarlatti’s virtuosic piano Sonatas K. 450 G minor and K. 517 D minor and Franz Liszt’s sublime La Vallée d’Obermann, and ends it with Robert Schumann’s Piano Sonata No. 1 in F sharp minor, the composer’s “unique cry of passion” for his beloved Clara to whom he dedicated the work.

“From Paris to You” showcases Deak’s and de Castera’s artistry and reflects their musical preferences. Zachary Deak, who became interested in piano as a pre-schooler in Encinitas and began his musical studies at age 5, studied at the Ecole Normal de Musique de Paris from age 13, receiving various “diplomes.” His studies in Paris culminated in 2011 with the coveted award of a “Diplome Superieure d’execution a l”unanimite.”

He has performed extensively in France as a soloist and in chamber groups. He has participated in the premieres of many contemporary works and has been recorded by French Radio and Harmonia Mundi.

Viewpoints, copresented by The Village Church and the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, will present a panel discussion with three local experts on May 9, from 6-8 p.m. at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. The goal of the lecture series is to inform, inspire and impact by providing a forum in which individuals, renown in their field, share their knowledge, wisdom and experience with members of the local community.

Scientists and medical professionals are constantly learning new information about the human brain and how our body and brain work together. This is both important and challenging as the human brain is considered the most complex object in the human body, and understanding how it functions is one of the world’s greatest mysteries.

Scientific advances in imagery, medical treatments, and genetics are revealing new insights into how our brains process information and how we can keep our brain healthy and functioning well into old age.

On Wednesday, May 9, the community will have the opportunity to learn what it takes to maintain good brain health for a long and happy life. Dr. Tom Flanagan, Dr. Dee Silver, and Muffy Walker, all leading experts in the fields of neuroscience and psychology, and residents of Rancho Santa Fe, will lead a discussion about the latest breakthroughs in understanding brain health.

The panel will discuss the causes, prevention and treatment of mood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s

and Alzheimer’s. Attendees will learn how a person’s genetics, lifestyle, age, and chance will be a great influence on one’s quality of life as they age.

Dr. Tom Flanagan, medical director of Aurora Behavioral Health Care and Associate Clinical Professor at UCSD, has been practicing neuro-psychiatry for the past 41 years.

He will present current research on how the brain and body respond to stress and how anxiety might be treated in the future.

Dr. Dee Silver has spent the last 44 years understanding the causes, prevention and management of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis. Silver also has a passion for improving the quality of life and reducing the anxiety, depression, fatigue, apathy and frailty in these patients. Silver has been a staff neurologist at Scripps Memorial Hospital for 39 years and is president of Coastal Neurological Medical Group.

Muffy Walker has worked in the mental health field for over 25 years, beginning her career as a clinical specialist in psychiatric nursing. Following her son’s diagnosis of bipolar disorder 14 years ago, she co-founded the International Bipolar Foundation and now serves as president of the foundation.

The evening will begin with wine and light hors d’ouveres at 6 p.m. The panel discussion will be from 6:30-8 p.m., including time for questions from the audience. The evening’s events will be held in the Fellowship Center at The Village Church (6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067).

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Advance ticket purchase is strongly encouraged and may be purchased either online or by calling (858) 381-8070.

Trisha Khaleghi

Profile

CEO thrives on interaction with staff and patients in new role at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns

BY KATHY DAY Two weeks into her new job as CEO of Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns Trisha Khaleghi received an e-mail from a staff member that made her day.

The individual, someone whose name she didn’t recognize, thanked her for how visible she had been since she took over.

Khaleghi, a local resident who joined Sharp HealthCare in 1991 as director of Oncology Services and became vice president of Clinical Services in 2009, was particularly taken by the note, she said, because she likes being visible.

“I can do more problem-solving walking around than I can sitting in an office,” she said, as she took a break for an interview in one of the rooms in the new neonatal intensive care unit.

The first phase, in the old triage area, was set to open April 16.

While that wing of the 19-year-old hospital was without patients that day, staff members were bustling about, getting rooms in order and checking their lists.

As Khaleghi walked down the hall, she greeted many people by their first name.

That interaction with staff and physicians – there are more than 150 physicians specializing in women’s and infants’ medicine affiliated with the hospital — is the best part of the job.

She considers it her role to do what she “can to enable they have what they need to provide the best patient care,” she said.

Her biggest challenge is “balancing everyone’s needs and desires around clinical care and the business aspects” of running a hospital that is nationally known for its obstetrics department that delivers more babies each year than any other hospital in California.

But when all the “moving parts … come together, that’s what we’re about,” she added.

Her goal as CEO “is to ensure that Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns is the premier place for women’s healthcare. We want quality at the top decile of patient and physician satisfaction that speaks to the level of com-

Quick Facts Name: Trisha Khaleghi, CEO Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns and senior VP, Sharp HealthCare Distinction: Named to the The Academy GE Fellows Program for Senior Executives, Chief Financial Officers and Chief Medical Officers that allows her to interact with the top organizations in the country.

Family: Married 26 years to Mohsen, sons Hunter, 19, and Blake, 11 Interests: “Big thing is watching my kids play sports,” working out.

Reading: Her current favorite book is “The Hunger Games.”

Favorite films: “Secretariat” Favorite getaway: The Grand Champion Hyatt Resort in Palm Desert.

Philosophy: The Golden Rule.

‘I’m extremely passionate about the patient care experience — that’s why this job suits who I am and what I believe in.’

TRISHA KHALEGHI mitment by our staff.”

A bachelor’s and master’s in nursing from the University of Kentucky and her work as a nurse helps keep her focused on the patients, she noted.

She also identifies with the patients’ and families’ needs because her younger son Blake, now 11, was born at Mary Birch with a heart problem that required surgery when he was only a week old.

“He had a long neonatal stay at Children’s … so I am very sensitive to the emotional trauma the families go through,” she added.

As if taking on the job of overseeing the hospital’s nine operating rooms with nearly 170 acute-care beds and a staff of 700 (full-time equivalents) isn’t enough, the hospital is in the midst of a $35 million makeover.

The three-phase project includes the new and expanded NICU, converting semiprivate rooms to private ones, updating labor and delivery facilities, and improving the work flow. Next up is remodeling the third floor.

The new job, which included a promotion to senior vice president, is a far cry from Khaleghi’s days as a student at Kentucky where she entered nursing by accident. She said she signed up for their new program and once she started in clinical work and patient care, she knew nursing was what she was supposed to do.

Her first job was in UK’s Bone Marrow Transplant unit, and when she came to Sharp, she switched to oncology, which she said she enjoyed because it required “high clinical expertise and

an understanding of the psychological and social aspects” of care. As the years went on she became interested in the business side of the hospital and worked in a variety of roles before her promotion at the end of March.

She met Mohsen, her husband of 26 years, when she was a freshman in college and he was a junior.

They moved to San Diego when he signed on as director of engineering during construction of the Hyatt Regency La Jolla. He’s now the general manager.

“He’s the neatest person I’ve ever known, kind and generous,” she said.

They are the proud parents of two sons, Blake now a student at La Jolla Country Day and Hunter, 19, who attends Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania.

They are a family with strong bonds. Her father, a Baptist minister, and her mom — “the epicenter of the family — have been married for 60 years. She has two older sisters and a younger brother.

Blake talks to his grandma, who visits frequently, every day after school.

Meanwhile, they miss Hunter while he’s away at college but stay in close touch.

They also are close to Mohsen’s family. He came from Iran to the U.S. to go to school when he was 15 and still has many family members there and others in the U.S. Khaleghi’s a sports fan who played tennis and swam before her boys were born. Now, she said, she’s more focused on watching her sons on the field. Hunter

Trisha Khaleghi played soccer and football at Country Day and is a kicker on his college team, and his brother plays soccer too.

Both boys enjoy surfing, although their mom is not into the ocean activity.

But when she’s not watching her sons, you might well find her watching her beloved Kentucky basketball team. She’s such a fan, in fact, that she and Mohsen were at the NCAA Final Four in March when their Wildcats won the title.

“I love basketball,” she said, noting that she’s been watching Kentucky games since she was 5.

And she plays golf, although “poorly.” Talking about a recent trip to Palm Desert, she added, “I go to be with the boys.”

She and Blake also are members of Sharp’s team that participates in the American Heart Association Heart Walk each year.

“It’s a way to teach him to give back,” she said, again giving credit to the people who cared for him when he had open heart surgery as a tiny baby.

Khaleghi also enjoys working out – she’s a regular at the Pacific Athletic Club even if she only gets in 30-minute workouts now that she’s working 7 to 7 most days.

Her enthusiasm for the job she is still learning is as evident as her love of her family.

“I’m extremely passionate about the patient care experience – that’s why this job suits who I am and what I believe in, as well as what Sharp HealthCare stands for.”

Have you ever admired the paintings in the Rancho Grill and the Bar of Morgan Run Club & Resort? If you have, a wonderful opportunity is available for you to meet the artist of those paintings, Scott Jacobs. The complimentary Knowledge Seekers event will be held at Morgan Run on Wednesday, April 25, at 6 p.m.

Three years after receiving a set of paints from his wife for Christmas, Jacobs became the first officially licensed Harley-Davidson artist in 1993 and still proudly holds that privilege. Added to that list are: Chevrolet, Ford, Mattel, Marilyn Monroe Estates and Elvis Presley Enterprises.

Although Jacobs drew pen-and-ink illustrations for his school newspaper, he began his career in art not with his painting, but by buying a failing gallery at 19 with money he saved from working odd jobs. At 21, Jacobs had the cash and customer base to open Reflections On Canvas Gallery in Westfield, N.J., a gallery that met with much success.

Jacobs’ images can be seen on many objects from limited editions graphics to Franklin Mint Collector Plates, coffee mugs, beach towels, clocks and many others.

Whether it’s a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, classic car, fine bottle of wine or a delicate

Artist Scott Jacobs dew covered flower, Jacobs’ attention to detail supersedes all expectation. Every detail is perfection, right down to the reflections within reflections. Admirers are often surprised to discover that the image before them is not a photograph, but a Scott Jacobs original painting.

Is Her Beautiful Smile Good Genes, Or Does She Have A Secret?

A smile so natural, only her dentist knows for sure.

Empowered

Consider this:

Eating her favorite foods, free to travel and live the life she wants. Not afraid to laugh or get close to the ones she loves.

Many peers have missing or failing teeth, some even have dentures. How does she do it?

Odds Against Us Virtually every adult will lose a tooth in their lifetime. For many, the suffering doesn’t stop there. As we age, factors ranging from poor oral health to heredity often bring about accelerated tooth loss – so much so that the average American will lose 4 or more teeth by the time they reach 50 years of age.

Traditional Remedies

MYTH:

Tooth loss affects a relatively small group of people.

FACT:

By the age of 50, the average Americans is missing 4 or more teeth.

MYTH:

Tooth loss is almost always a result of poor oral hygiene.

FACT:

Oral hygiene is important, but genetics and age are

VLJQLÀ FDQW GULYHUV RI WRRWK ORVV MYTH: FACT:

Historically, alternatives to failing teeth often involved a lifetime of glues, creams and adhesives and often were accompanied by discomfort and changes in appearance – meaning the options for treating missing or failing teeth could do little to alleviate the physical and emotional discomfort of tooth loss.

Dental problems caused by gum disease and tooth loss resolve themselves quickly.

Most dental problems do not

MYTH:

Dentures are the only option for those dealing with tooth loss.

FACT:

Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth and are a modern alternative to dentures.

Dental Implants Dental Implants are now considered a “Standard of Care” when replacing missing teeth and are often a better treatment option than conventional dental crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures. Dental Implants have been proven to be a more successful long term option when compared to these more traditional approaches.

The appeal of dental implants is very simple: implants look and perform like natural teeth and fit precisely without the need for adhesives. They are permanent and cared for just like natural teeth and restore one’s natural smile.

Acclaimed author Susan Vreeland to appear at RSF Library Guild spring author talk April 26

BY KELLEY CARLSON It took about a century for the world to discover that Clara Driscoll was the master designer behind the stained leaded glass lamps produced by Tiffany Studios.

But now it’s her time to shine.

Driscoll — Susan Vreeland and her collaboPhoto/Sam Ryu ration with Louis Comfort Tiffany — is the focus of Susan Vreeland’s latest book, “Clara and Mr. Tiffany,” which will be discussed in detail at a special event for Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild members.

Vreeland will give a PowerPoint presentation and conduct a question-and-answer session from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on April 26 at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, 17040 Avenida de Acacias. The $25 cost also includes a light brunch catered by Keely Barrera and a signed copy of the book.

“Clara and Mr. Tiffany” marks a slightly different departure from the author’s six previous historical fiction novels, most of which focused on painters.

“This is my foray into another art form,” said the local resident, one that was new to her, but intriguing.

“The Tiffany lamp is an icon of American history — certainly New York history,” she added.

While in New York for the launch of her book “Luncheon of the Boating Party” in May 2007, Vreeland visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see an exhibition that re-created the fountain court of Tiffany’s Long Island estate, Laurelton Hall. Fascinated by the leaded-glass windows, she made a point to visit an exhibition at the New York Historical Society that displayed lamps created by Driscoll and some letters she wrote to her family in Tallmadge, Ohio, about her life working for Tiffany Studios.

The wheels started turning in Vreeland’s mind, as she read through the exhibition’s 200-page catalog, “A New Light on Tiffany: Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls.”

To ultimately decide whether she would tackle the subject as a book, Vreeland traveled to the Kent State University Library in Ohio, and later to the Queens Historical Society in New York, to peruse thousands of Driscoll’s letters.

Had it not been for Driscoll’s correspondence, her role as head designer of the Tiffa-

ny floral-shaded lamps may never have been known, since Louis C. Tiffany never publicly acknowledged her or the team of women she led. The records for Tiffany Studios were lost after it closed in the early 1930s.

“Thank goodness for her Victorian zest for letter writing!” Vreeland said.

“I realized she was a strong, really vibrant woman, talented ... a dynamic leader, who was pretty forward-thinking,” the award-winning author added.

Vreeland proceeded to interview a number of people about Tiffany, who was the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of the renowned jewelry and silverware company Tiffany & Co. Her sources included several museum curators and Arlie Sulka, owner and managing director of the Lillian Nassau Gallery, the first place to exhibit the Tiffany lamps after the studios went out of business.

After six months of research, and an additional three years of writing and editing, “Clara and Mr. Tiffany” was finally published in 2011. The paperback edition was released on March 20, 2012, and in April, the book became Vreeland’s fourth New York Times best seller.

Other novels by Vreeland include “Life Studies,” “Girl in Hyacinth Blue,” “The Forest Lover” and “The Passion of Artemisia.”

Her first book, “What Love Sees” — a true story of a blind couple who raised four children on a ranch in Ramona -— has been out of print for more than 20 years, but was recently brought back as an eBook.

Vreeland — who taught high school English in San Diego for 30 years before her retirement in 2000 — particularly enjoys writing about art.

“Through art and literature, we can step into other lives, other cultures, other time periods,” Vreeland said. “Each time, it’s a small step up in the elevation of mankind.”

Following suit, she is at work on a new novel titled “Lisette’s List,” which takes place before, during and after World War II in the south of France and Paris. Without giving too much away, Vreeland revealed that it focuses on the fates of paintings by Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne that were collected by a frame maker. In addition, the frame maker’s grandson’s wife, Lisette, acquires a Marc Chagall painting.

Patriot Profiles: ‘They love us when we save them, but don’t like us when we cite them’ This column presents soldier stories to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY In 1983, a Coast Guard helicopter made its way to the capsized Marine Electric vessel off the coast of Virginia. When they arrived, they found survivors scattered around in the near-freezing water. After multiple attempts to lower the rescue basket directly where the crew members were struggling to survive in the water, time after time they were too hypothermic and weak to climb in. Even with a Navy helicopter assist, only three were rescued out of 34.

Later, in 1991, the fishing vessel Dora H. radioed a Mayday and was sinking in the icy waters 220 miles off Kodiak, Alaska. This time, a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer was flying out with his helicopter crew.

A Banning, California native, Chief Warrant Officer Gary L. Strebe, remembers not wanting to go to Kodiak, Alaska. He’d planned to come to San Diego, do four years with the Coast Guard and get out and go to college. He’d already completed boot camp in Cape May, N.J., and a rig-

orous 18-week Aviation Survival Technician school in Elizabeth City, N.C., where Strebe was trained to maintain aircrew and aircraft survival equipment. In addition, he was trained for his aircrew position as a Rescue Swimmer.

The Rescue Swimmer School opportunity was a direct result of the Marine Electric tragedy, when Congress mandated the creation of a Rescue Swimmer program. As a former highschool lifeguard and competitive swimmer, Strebe was over-confident in his abilities at first. But his instructors put the pressure on to find even greater strength, endurance, and mental acuity than he knew he had, replicating “real world” situations. He had to remind himself that “it’s a mental game that is not going to kill you, at least not purposefully.”

The first year and half in Kodiak, Strebe was learning his technician trade.

When the “Halibut Opener” came up, the crew of the Dora H., like others, had 24

hours to catch as many fish as possible, many overloading their boats. Strebe was the duty Rescue Swimmer when their mayday came in.

He describes the scene: “It was 70knot winds.

Seas were anywhere from 25-35 feet tall. We located a life raft with our night vision goggles. We knew somebody was in the raft; we weren’t sure how many.

“They lowered me in the water and I was clearing out of the rescue strap when a swell dropped out from underneath me and I fell 10 feet. That ripped off my mask and snorkel, so I had to continue the rescue with no protection from the rotor wash and salt water in my face and eyes.”

Strebe started swimming, wearing a 30-pound hoisting harness, trying to keep the raft in sight over walls of water. Above, the pilot was tiring, holding the H-3 helicopter in a hover, while getting buffeted about by powerful winds. When Strebe arrived, luckily all four [crew] were in the raft.

“I grabbed the one with a

torn dry suit and put him in the water. They lowered the basket and I put him in. It took about 15 minutes per hoist.”

Ever looming was the “Bingo” moment when the helicopter has to turn back because of being low on fuel. Gary had been in the 32-degree water for more than 50 minutes, and did not want to be left behind.

So, he clipped himself to the basket holding the last fisherman and went up with him. “It’s teamwork. You can’t do the mission if you can’t trust the guy covering your back.”

Semper Paratus – “Always ready” — is the Coast Guard’s motto. With over 95,000 miles of U.S. coastlines and vast oceans and seas, the stewardship is massive. CWO Strebe explains the Coast Guard is the oldest sea-going service, started in 1790 to enforce tariff and trade laws to prevent smuggling. Today, it’s a unique branch of the military with law enforcement authority — deployed daily for maritime security, safety and environmental protection.

Preparedness has many faces in the Coast Guard.

TPHS grad/athlete to raise funds for kids in need through long-distance Ragnar Relay Race

BY KAREN BILLING Andy Hemmerich and his teammates will run 200 miles for great education. Along with five others representing his tutoring company Hammer Prep, the Torrey Pines High School graduate and local resident will run from Huntington Beach to Coronado Island in the Ragnar Relay Race starting this Saturday, April 21.

The team is competing in the race not just for the grueling physical challenge of it; they will also be raising money for the Monarch School for at-risk and homeless students.

“It’s a really powerful organization in terms of using education as a vehicle to helping students become successful members of society,” Hemmerich said. “Education has given me so much of my life, it’s amazing. I’ve had so many opportunities, seen several different countries and made so many friendships, all through my education. Essentially, it’s the reason I have a business today.”

Hemmerich believes strongly in the power of educa-

tion, the great rewards it can bring and the many directions in which it can take a person.

“That’s why I put my stake in education and why I want to give back to kids that are underserved…I don’t think there’s a better match for us in terms of giving back,” Hemmerich said of Monarch.

Hemmerich was inspired to do the Ragnar race by San Diego businessman and philanthropist Blair Cannon, who also combines endurance challenges with charity.

Cannon swam the Catalina Channel last year to raise $100,000 for Monarch School. This June, Cannon is swimming 28.5 miles around Manhattan with a goal of raising $150,000 for the school.

The Ragnar is a 200mile overnight relay race Andy Hemmerich run over two days and one night from Huntington Beach to Coronado. Teams are allowed 12 members, but the Hammer Prep squad will do it with six.

Hemmerich will run 39 of those 200 miles of the relay.

He will run six legs of the race, the longest leg being 10 miles and the most brutal one, including some “significant hills,” as he races inland from Huntington Beach.

At some points in the race, the runners may be running alone in the middle of the night with just a head lamp, reflective vest and a cell phone just in case they get lost on the course.

Hammer Prep is running as part of a corporate division that includes local companies such as Qualcomm and Sharp, all raising funds for Monarch. The corporate division goal is to raise a total of $160,000 and, as of Monday, they were just short of that.

Hammer Prep alone has already raised nearly $5,000.

Hemmerich grew up in Del Mar and graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 1996. He played soccer for Stanford and graduated with a degree in economics before launching a pro-soccer career that included stops in Major League Soccer with the San Jose Earthquakes and abroad

with a New Zealand team.

After his soccer career ended, Hemmerich began tutoring in 2001 and enjoyed it so much he decided to start Hammer Prep the next year, the name coined from one of his old nicknames. At first he had tutoring centers at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and at the Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito’s Polster branch, but soon the business evolved to strictly one-on-one tutoring, which is what Hammer Prep specializes in today.

While Hammer Prep offers tutoring in any high school subject, SAT and ACT prep is its main focus, using full-time, professional tutors and a curriculum developed by Hammer.

“It’s easily the most important test a high school kid takes and it can be a highly intimidating test,” Hemmerich said.

Hammer tries to take out the intimidation and with one-on-one preparation help students to be conditioned to be successful test takers.

For the last five years, Hammer Prep has also offered ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) test prep, the test that students must take to be accepted into private schools such as Bishops, Francis Parker or Pacific Ridge.

“It’s completely different than any test these students see in school,” Hemmerich said of the somewhat “scary” test that looks very much like a SAT for the younger set.

Hammer Prep has also partnered with the Shane Walton Foundation, founded by a Bishop’s grad who went on to play football at Notre Dame and in the NFL, and who has made it his mission to help the education of underserved students. Through their efforts, Hammer Prep is able to give ISEE tutoring to students who might not have been able to receive it, giving them the same advantage as others to access higher education.

“The kids this year just hammered the test,” said Hemmerich, noting that the successful test scores resulted in scholarships to Bishop’s.

Hemmerich officially committed to training for the Ragnar race two months ago, which meant taking a break from his adult amateur soccer team, the San Diego County Soccer League’s Nomads.

“I love running, it’s what keeps me sane,” said Hemmerich, who boosted his mileage from 15 to 25 miles a week to 30 to 50 miles a week in preparation for Ragnar. “It’s an important part of my life and I run quite a bit to stay onetenth as fit as my wife, a professional triathlete.”

He hopes he is ready for his 39 miles and relates this Ragnar challenge to what his company does every day. He knows first hand through Hammer Prep that dedication, preparation and focus can bring success. Andy’s teammates include Zach Negin (Hammer Prep employee), Andy’s brother Jason Hemmerich, William Blore, Caela Timinsky and Alec Fillmore.

Immunologist’s ‘new’ drug a gift to premature infants

BY DAVE SCHWAB Most of us have tasks taking minutes, hours, days — sometimes even weeks or months to complete.

Just imagine what’s it’s like to tackle a project that doesn’t come to fruition for 20 years or longer.

Such was the “quest” undertaken at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla by immunologist Charles G. Cochrane, M.D. Now a professor emeritus at TSRI, Cochrane in 1988 began research to solve a chemical equation to counteract Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), a breathing disorder affecting premature infants.

Newborns with RDS aren’t able to make enough surfactant, a liquid coating their lungs allowing them to breathe. Without enough surfactant, the lungs collapse and the infant must work hard to breathe, which may result in oxygen depletion that can damage the baby’s brain and other organs if not properly treated.

Twenty-four years later, following extensive research involving lab and clinical testing on animals and humans, a potentially lifesaving drug developed by Co-

chrane, Surfaxin, was finally approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration on March 6.

What Cochrane developed is a synthetic pulmonary surfactant, KL4, that doesn’t cause an immune reaction when administered directly into the lungs of pre-term infants. KL4 restores much of their impaired lung function within hours after birth.

Development of Surfaxin was a long time coming, but all worth it because of the end result, said Cochrane.

“March 6 was the date that opened huge doors to save many lives … and improve life for millions of others,” he said.

When first informed in 2004 that clinical testing of Surfaxin had been successful, the 81-year-old research scientist recalls with glee he was told, “Charlie, we just delivered your baby.”

Until now, treating 90,000 RDS infants worldwide has involved use of “animal-derived” surfactants with multiple side effects: they’re expensive, injurious to the lungs, produce negative immune reactions, and cannot be produced in suffi-

cient quantities to meet demand.

Now, said Cochrane, Discovery Labs, the company formed to manufacture and market Surfaxin (and for whom Dr. Cochrane consults) can begin distributing the drug that is applied in liquid form.

Still, Cochrane said development of Surfaxin is going one step further with a new aerosol application that can expand its use to treat other diseases and older patients.

“There’s a better way of giving it, freeze-drying the surfactant,” he said. “It will give it a long shelf life and make it inexpensive so it can be sent all over the world to start saving lives.”

Adding the drug could be used to treat other respiratory maladies, such as cystic fybrosis and acute asthma, Cochrane said, “It’s one drug for many treatments.”

Not from a medical background, Cochrane said he always had a basic interest in science. He was among the “Pittsburgh 5,” a group of then-young immunologists who transferred from that Midwestern city to TSRI when it was founded in the 1960s.

Some now refer to Cochrane as “The Last of the Mohicans,” because he is the sole remaining original member of the Department of Immunology at The Scripps Research Institute.

Though he always intended to get into internal medicine, Cochrane said he found immunology so compelling that he never made the switch.

New orthodontist practice opens in RSF Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics will begin accepting new patients starting this month. The office is located in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe at 5951 La Sendita, which is directly behind the R. Roger Rowe School.

The orthodontic practice is owned and operated by Dr. Natalie Lam, DMD, MMSc. Dr. Lam launched Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics with a neighborhood ice cream party on March 24, welcoming approximately 100 guests of the Rancho Santa Fe community. The guests mixed and mingled with Dr. Lam and fellow members of the neighborhood on the practice’s outdoor terrace.

“Everyone has been so warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to being a part of the Rancho Santa Fe community,” said Dr. Lam. “My passion for orthodontics stems from my relationships with my patients. I believe in taking the time to understand each patient’s specific needs and providing customized orthodontic care based on those needs and desires.”

Dr. Lam earned her undergraduate degree from Duke University and Dental and Orthodontic degrees from Harvard Universi-

ty. She completed fellowships at Boston’s Children’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and was an instructor for clinical orthodontic sessions at Harvard. Dr. Lam is an active member in several dental and orthodontic organizations on a national and local level, including the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, and the San Diego Academy of Orthodontists. She has been practicing orthodontics since 2003, including owning her own private practice in Arlington, VA, prior to relocating to Southern California.

Dr. Lam relocated to Rancho Santa Fe to be closer to her family. Her sister, brotherin-law, and nieces and nephew are long-time residents of the Rancho Santa Fe community.

Rancho Santa Fe Orthodontics provides an array of orthodontic services to both adults and children, including different types of cosmetic and traditional braces, Invisalign, and corrective jaw surgery.

Oceanographer discusses imaging system that found Titanic wreck

BY CLAIRE DISCENZA “This is the week of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic (sinking),” said Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher Jules Jaffe to a packed foyer at the Birch Aquarium. “And I know a lot of people have come primarily to hear about my involvement in that.” At the Jeffrey B. Graham “Perspectives on Ocean Science” lecture on April 9, Jaffe gave the audience just that.

In his talk, “Underwater Imaging: From Titanic to the Tiny,” Jaffe reviewed the optical imaging systems he helped develop to explore everything from large undersea wrecks to miniscule microbes.

While Jaffe stressed the importance of studying the “little guys” of the ocean — the zooplankton, phytoplankton and microbes that make up the majority of marine biomass — he started his talk on a much grander scale.

Jaffe began by explaining how technology plays a role in the difficult task of finding a shipwreck. The strategy that explorers and scientists use to locate any undersea rubble involves two phases: an audio search followed by a visual search.

How the Titanic got its name In Greek Mythology, the Titans were the powerful elder gods who ruled the Earth and who were overthrown by the Olympians. A Titan was a symbol of mightiness and power. The White Star Line choose the name “Titanic” because it was the largest ship in the world at the time of its launching. The White Star Line always ended its ships’ names with “ic” — Olympic, Gigantic. — wikipedia As sound can travel farther underwater than light, it is most efficient to start by sending high-frequency sonar pulses out into the ocean. By recording the returning sound waves after they have bounced off an object, or “contact,” researchers can make rough sonic images of the ocean floor.

When looking for something like the Titanic, researchers have to be thorough. “What you want to do is map a pattern with sonar to methodically go back and forth and find contacts that are potentially the Titanic,” Jaffe said. “We call it ‘mowing the lawn.’ ” Jaffe showed a sonic image of one of these contacts, a fuzzy picture with a small speckling of dots in the center. “It turns out that inher-

ent in the process of forming a sonic image is something called ‘speckle.’ It has to do with the fact that sound is almost like laser because it is very coherent. That means all the waves line up together,” he explained.

“You might look at that image and ask: ‘Oh my gosh, how did they figure out that was a wreck?’ It turns out that researchers cannot be sure this image is of anything of interest — instead, a sonic image simply gives a search team an inkling that there might be something out there. The team can then go back to search the contact visually with optical imaging.

The optical imaging system uses what most of us know and love to do — to see.”

Jaffe helped design this optical imaging system that found the Titanic nearly 30

years ago. He got involved in maritime archaeology after a chance meeting with Robert Ballard.

“I meet this guy [Ballard], and I realize very quickly that he wants to be the most famous ocean explorer ever,” Jaffe reminisced.

“He says to me: ‘I want to find the Titanic.’ And what do I think but ‘yeah right.’

So I was wrong.”

Jaffe helped Ballard understand the physics of deepsea light propagation by working with the Visibility Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the world’s experts in underwater imaging at the time.

With Jaffe’s expertise, Ballard’s team built “Argo,” a submersible sled-mounted video camera that could be pulled along the bottom of the ocean floor for hours, sending live feed for researchers to examine in real time. After a first-pass sonar search in collaboration with the French oceanographic institute IFREMER, it was with Argo that Ballard was able to finally identify the remains of the Titanic.

“I didn’t go with Ballard on that trip, and in principle I don’t regret it,” said Jaffe, wistfully remembering the

Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher Jules Jaffe gives his talk ‘Underwater Imaging: From Titanic to the Tiny.’ day Ballard found the wreck.

“I wasn’t interested in finding the Titanic, I was interested in the technology.”

In the 25 years since the discovery of the Titanic, Jaffe has used optical technology to see much more than metal at the bottom of the ocean. Today, he develops instruments to study how squid vision is adapted to dark waters. “There are experts in underwater imaging,” Jaffe pointed out. “It just happens that they aren’t people, they’re animals.”

Jaffe’s team has also set up an autonomous profiler deep under the surface of the ocean. The profiler is fitted

with cameras to take pictures of tiny micro-organisms, ranging in size from micrometers to inches. These images capture minute details that can only be seen in the wild and not in captive species, emphasizing the importance of studying these organisms in their natural habitats.

“One of my goals is to garner appreciation on your part of the smallest things in the ocean and to highlight how important they are in our global ecology,” Jaffe said. “I would be remiss as a scientist if part of my mission was not to enlighten people about things we find fascinating.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Ancient marriage secrets revealed at classes in RSF A provocative new series of classes on the secrets of successful marriage will begin Monday, April 30, at the Chabad Jewish center of RSF. Regardless of marital status, all are invited to attend the six-session course, presented by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI).

The Art of Marriage will go far beyond platitudes, to cover topics at the heart of modern marriage. Does marriage still serve any purpose at all? How far should one go to make a marriage work? When is divorce the best option?

Included as well are Jewish bedroom secrets, from ancient texts, on how to increase intimacy in marital relationships.

“Beautiful, inspiring, but most of all practical,” says Dr. Patricia Love, author of How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It, one of Amazon’s top two marriage books. “Whether your marriage is magical or miserable, this vital course is designed for you.”

Judaism views a loving marriage as a spiritual as well as a human ideal. The Art of Marriage shows students how to attain that

for themselves and for their spouses, with timeless lessons from both modern and ancient Jewish texts such as the Talmud and Zohar.

“Judaism venerates marriage and therefore has a long history of looking to enhance the marriage experience. The course is not only about providing techniques for success in marriage, it’s about changing your attitude toward your spouse and toward marriage in general,” explains Rabbi Levi Raskin.

Like all JLI programs, The Art of Marriage is designed to appeal to students at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship.

Interested students may call 858-7567571, or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in Ranch Santa Fe in conjunction with Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

Expert to speak on the impact of health care reform at next ‘Coffee and Conversation’ event in RSF Congressional advisor and health-care advocate Dr. Robert Hertzka will be the guest speaker at the next “Coffee and Conversation” event on Thursday, May 17, from 8-9 a.m. at the RSF Golf Club.

Hertzka will lead a presentation on the new multi-trillion-dollar health care law and how it will affect your life. Most Americans will experience tax changes due to the new health care law, known as the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, which will unfold over the next few years. The rising costs of health care will impact your financial decision-making and portfolio, whether you are an individual or business owner.

Many of the highly controversial provisions will not take effect until after 2014, with the real costs of the bill becoming evident in 2014, although billions of dollars in new taxes and fees will take effect sooner. Buried within the contents of the more than 2,000-page bill are trillions of dollars in new government spending, resulting in many new taxes for individuals, business owners, and companies.

There is no charge to attend the event. Hertzka’s presentation is part of the “Coffee and Conversation” series sponsored by Financial Advisor Deana Carter. To attend, please RSVP to Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or DCarter@CarterFinancial.biz. The Carter Financial office is located in the Rancho Santa Fe village, at 6013 La Granada.

LITIGATION continued from page 2 fornia Coastal Commission regarding, in part, a wetlands area that the fair had been using for parking.

“I have a great respect for their ability to negotiate,” Hilliard said. “I am sure we will work something out.”

Day said what Hilliard described as a “road bump” is more like a “sink hole.”

“Either negotiation or litigation needs to occur before any more staff time or district resources are spent,” he said. Day estimated the tally of legal and labor costs for the Ag. Board to have already reached six figures, and he said he is concerned about the use of public funds moving forward. “[Del Mar] has told us one thing and they’ve done another,” said Day. “The ball is in their court. If they prefer to go to court, we’ll be happy to see them there.”

PATRIOT continued from page 16 Strebe’s current job is Senior Marine Inspector. He became qualified through more schooling. He suggests, “Think of a large vessel. The hull inspectors check the navigation, the crew competency, life and fire safety – all the upper deck hull equipment. The machinery inspectors check the propulsion machinery, auxiliary equipment and emergency generators.” Gary is qualified to do both hull and machinery inspections.

The sinking of the Titanic spawned the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Strebe reports, “It’s a body of sea-going nations that agree upon international regulations and laws for safety of life at sea (SOLAS). When foreign ships come here, we inspect them to SOLAS standards, along with our own U.S. rules and regulations. If they have deficiencies, we’ll write them up and contact their flag nation to correct it.”

“Strict Enforcer” is the U.S. Coast Guard’s global reputation. Recently, the

media reported a remark made by a maritime industry insider after a recent cruise line disaster: “Make sure you’re going on a ship that makes stops in the U.S., because then you know the U.S. Coast Guard is going aboard to inspect it.”

Gary says, “Foreign ships have to notify us of their arrival 96 hours ahead of time. U.S. Customs checks the crew for proper licensing. We look at their cargo, where they’ve been and do spot inspections. If a lifeboat doesn’t start up or a pump on board doesn’t work or any other red flag comes up, we’re going to hold them here until it works.”

Even though Strebe and his team are the safety guys, holding ship and boat owners to the rod can be frustrating. He says, “Sometimes it’s hard being the regulator. We take great pains to be fair, and don’t want to run people out of business. I take my job seriously because if their boat sinks, the National Transportation and Safety Board and everyone else are looking at me for answers. They love us when we save them, but don’t like

Bags & Baubles benefit for animal care organization to be held in RSF April 29 The annual Bags & Baubles fundraiser is an opportunity for FACE to shine.

Scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m. on April 29 at a private estate in Rancho Santa Fe, the second annual event is one of the Foundation for Animal Care and Education’s premier affairs. About 250 guests are expected to attend, according to FACE Executive Director Stacy Steel.

The nonprofit FACE was established in 2006 by a group of veterinarians who were distraught over the rise of “economic euthanasia,” in which pets are left to suffer or are euthanized when their owners can’t afford the cost of treatment. FACE provides financial assistance to animal owners, with money raised through donations and special events such as Bags & Baubles.

At the upcoming fundraiser, there will be a silent auction of more than 200 new and “gently loved” designer handbags; starting bids will begin at 10 percent to 15 percent of retail value.

“The deals people are able to get on handbags are extraordinary,” Steel said.

In addition, there will be opportunities to purchase jewelry, while guests socialize with one another and consume food and beverag-

us when we cite them.”

Whether its rescues or inspections, Strebe is all about the Coast Guard ethos to protect, defend, save, and be a shield. He agrees the many proud who serve the Coast Guard are unsung heroes.

Strebe is happily married with a daughter and a son – thankful for what the Coast Guard has provided him and his family. “I’ve been able to complete my education up through a master’s degree. I’ve been to some great places and worked with some outstanding people. We’re all here to help.”

For helping the crew of Dora H. out of the frigid Alaskan waters, Strebe won eight different awards for bravery and heroism. Once in the helicopter, he wrapped the tired and hypothermic fishermen in blankets the best he could. Exhausted, cold, and tired he passed out for the trip home. Thanks to men like Chief Warrant Officer Strebe, people are rescued that would otherwise be lost and safety of life at sea keeps in check.

A high-end raffle is also planned, featuring items such as a Nancy Gonzalez purse, a Kazanjian Bros. wooden cuff with South Sea pearls and diamonds, an 18-carat white gold blue topaz necklace by Yael Designs, and a sterling silver beaded bracelet with an 18-carat yellow gold dog charm from Dodo. Tickets are three for $25 or 15 for $100.

FACE has provided more than $743,000 in assistance since August 2007, when the nonprofit issued its first grant. The average case costs the foundation $1,500. Funding for FACE is primarily provided by individual pet owners, with additional contributions from hospital partnerships. Special fundraising events are held throughout the year, such as Bags & Baubles.

More than $50,000 was raised during Bags & Baubles last year; this year’s goal is $83,500, Steel said. Meanwhile, FACE is still seeking sponsors and handbag donations, which are tax-deductible.

Admission to Bags & Baubles is free; the location is provided with an RSVP. Call Brooke Haggerty at (858) 4503223, or go to www.face4pets.org.

ATTORNEY continued from page 3 these lawyers think they are. … You want to leave the party the same person who came to the party.”

Asked if he has ever feared for his safety, Rosen recalled receiving a death threat after he represented Joe Morgan, who was considered the kingpin of the Mexican Mafia and believed responsible for committing or ordering the murders of more than 300 people. In the end, Morgan was sentenced to life in prison.

“A renegade member of the Mexican Mafia showed up at my office about two weeks after the case was over and told me that the Mexican Mafia had a contract out on my life and that he might be able to negotiate for me,” Rosen recalled.

“That was one organization that I took very seriously and I had a personal bodyguard for two months.”

Asked if he has any moral dilemmas about some of the clients he defends — particularly when his instincts tell him a client is guilty — Rosen said defense attorneys must be able to step back and view the matter as a case, and not a client.

“It has a name to it, but it’s a case,” he said. “You don’t have to become personally involved. There’s

nothing that says I’m required to like my client.

“I have defended some people, I don’t know whether they did it or not — even if they tell me they did it, I wasn’t there — but they have been set free,” he said.

“This we know.”

Having visited courthouses around the world, including those in Cairo and Damascus, Rosen said he takes comfort in his belief that the United States possesses “the very best criminal jurisprudence system on planet Earth.”

“But if you’re going to ask me if it’s perfect? Not even close,” he said, noting more than 100 inmates on death row were released during the past decade when DNA-testing proved they hadn’t committed the crimes they were convicted of.

Rosen said that when he wins a case, he might be invited to a victory party and then soon forgotten.

Should he lose the case, the defendant could sue him for a negligent defense.

“Either way I tell lawyers make sure you get paid before the verdict’s read,” he said.

16th annual Meet the Chefs of Del Mar event a community effort • Local participation at April 22 fundraiser stronger than ever

The office of Solana Beach’s Pamplemousse Grille is stacked floor to ceiling with hundreds of cases of wine to fill the restaurant’s extensive list of more than 2,100 bottles — likely the biggest wine selection in the city. “We buy a lot of wine,� said Jeffrey Strauss, the restaurant’s owner and chef of more than 16 years. “There’s only one thing I ask in Pamplemousse Grille’s Jeffrey return from my distrib- Strauss (left) utors.�

be auctioned off in the annual Meet the Chefs of Del Mar event, scheduled this year for April 22. The wine auction, which raises at least $15,000 in itself each year, is only one aspect of the charity event, which brings together the top chefs of Del Mar to share their specialties and raise money for Casa de Amparo, a North County facility that has been working with abused and neglected children for more than 30 years. One year, a bottle containing the equivalent of three cases of wine was auctioned off for $10,000.

Strauss has been an instrumental organizer of the event for more than 15 years, and he’s seen both the event and the Del Mar restaurant scene grow tremendously.

He said the local food scene was once concentrated in the downtown San Diego and La Jolla areas, but it has migrated to North County over the past five years, and the growing number of volunteer chefs participating in Meet the Chefs is proof in the pudding. The event started with 11 chefs and this year 17 are participating. “It’s a chance for people from surrounding areas to come see what we have to offer and meet the chefs,� said Strauss, who is known at the event for the giant dessert buffet he provides each year. “The culinary scene in San Diego has gotten better and better, and there are more chefs in this

event than ever because there are more restaurants.�

Donna Greenbush, a spokeswoman for Casa de Amparo, said the event has grown from raising $58,000 in 2000 to $110,000 last year. She hopes to bring in $115,000 this year, but there are still tickets to be sold, she said. She also said Casa de Amparo has benefited tremendously from this fundraiser, growing from two programs in 2000 to seven programs in 2012. “We’ve always worked to remove kids from abusive homes,� she said. “Now we’ve been able to instate programs that prevent abuse and neglect, such as parenting courses.�

Strauss said the event’s success has been the result of not only the many chefs who have contributed their food and time over the years, but also businesses like Young’s Market, which has donated thousands in food and beverages since the event’s beginning. Strauss said it’s also fun for the chefs to catch up with each other at the annual event. “To get 15 of us on a Sunday afternoon cooking together,� he said. “It’s just as fun for us as it is for anyone.�

INN continued from page 1 be renovated and repositioned in the market, and company officials were also familiar with The Inn and its central role in Rancho Santa Fe’s history and civic life, Kratzer said.

“We tell people that perhaps the greatest amenity of this asset isn’t the tennis court or spa or golf course.

It is the location and the position that the hotel holds in the community. It is, we think, the heart of the community,” Kratzer said.

Kratzer and his colleagues were scheduled to attend this week’s (April 19) Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting to introduce themselves as The Inn’s new owners and discuss their plans for the hotel, which sits on 21 acres at the entrance to the Rancho Santa Fe village, along Linea Del Cielo.

NEWCOMERS continued from page 1 November run-off election.

The field of candidates for the 49th District includes Issa, Democrat Jerry Tetalman and independents Al Novinec and Dick Eiden.

The newly redrawn district covers the coast of North San Diego County and Orange County, from just south of Del Mar to San Juan Capistrano, and also takes in Camp Pendleton and Vista. The district’s voter registration is 40 percent Republican, 30 percent Democrat and 24 percent no party preference, according the San Diego County Registrar of Voters.

The three challengers will take part in a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters, scheduled for 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 3, at MiraCosta College in Oceanside. Challengers said they invited Issa to take part, but were told his schedule would not allow him to participate in any debates before the June primary election. An email inquiry to Issa’s campaign regarding the debate was not returned by presstime.

Recently, this newspaper ran a Q&A interview with Issa. Today, we profile the three challengers, in alphabetical order.

Dick Eiden Eiden, 66, a Vista resident, is a long-time political activist and retired attorney who is running for Congress as an independent. Although he has registered in the past as both a Democrat

“The Inn has been a keystone of the community for years,” said Pete Smith, Association general manager. “Our biggest concern is if that would change. But from my perspective, their proposals on the table are very much in keeping with the character of The Inn and that’s a significant positive for the community.”

JMI purchased The Inn from the Royce family, which had owned it since 1958. Escrow closed on the deal on April 11.

The Inn opened in 1922 with 12 guestrooms, and was originally called “La Morada,” or “house of many rooms.” Over the years, The Inn has hosted presidents, royalty and Hollywood stars, according to a JMI Realty press release.

JMI Reality is the general partner of the ownership group, and the purchase of The Inn is the first of a series of investments that will include Siguler Guff, a New York-based real estate invest-

ment firm.

Renovation of the property will take place in phases. First, said Kratzer, will be improvements to computers and infrastructure. Next, in the fall, will come the room and spa upgrades.

The company’s vision, he said, is “to invest the money to make it the kind of luxury hotel experience that the community of Rancho Santa Fe deserves, to return it to the kind of awareness in Southern California that it once had.”

The new owners want The Inn to be a destination for Southern Californians seeking a weekend getaway, whether it’s to relax by the pool and dine at local restaurants, or take in the horse races at Del Mar. They also want it to remain a social hub for the community, where weddings, parties and other special events are celebrated.

The average daily rate for rooms at The Inn peaked at $292 in 2006, but

and a Green Party member, Eiden said he did not want to be identified on the ballot as representing any specific political party.

Rather, he said, he wanted to challenge the nature of the current two-party system that dominates Congressional and Presidential politics.

“We need somebody who’s not owned by the military-industrial-financial complex,” he said. “If we continue to follow and rely on the two parties we’ll have more of the same, war after war and crisis after crisis.”

“We need to talk about how we can get out of that vicious cycle and out of being the policemen of the world… it’s killing us,” Eiden said.

Eiden’s campaign slogan is “End War, Rebuild America.” Along with cutting back on military spending, he said he would support “rebuilding” the U.S. educational system and spending more money on infrastructure.

Eiden is married to Kathleen Cannon, who recently retired from the San Diego County Public Defender’s office. He left his own legal practice in the mid-’90s to stay at home with the couple’s two young children. During his legal career, he represented clients in a range of civil rights, criminal and deportation issues.

While he identifies more closely with the demands of the Occupy movement, he said consensus exists across the political spectrum on the need for

change.

“The Tea Party on the right and Occupy on the left all agree there’s something seriously wrong,” he said.

Al Novinec Oceanside resident Novinec, 54, spent 28 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including three tours of duty in Iraq. He retired as a first sergeant in 2007, and now works in real estate.

While Novinec considers himself to be politically conservative — noting that Republicans have traditionally supported the military more staunchly than Democrats — he said he decided to run as an independent because he believes the major parties have too much control over members of Congress.

Rather than voting along party lines, he said, members of Congress should support the positions of their constituents.

“The majority rules,” he said. “A representative should never go against the majority. That tells your constituents the lobbyists are involved, because you’re selling your vote.”

Novinec said if elected, he would poll his constituents by email, telephone and through man-on-thestreet surveys, and then vote in line with their desires.

As a Congressman, Novinec said, he would keep his district office open 12 hours a day, seven days a week, so that constituents

He said his staff would include credit and mortgage specialists to help constituents.

Among his ideas for boosting the economy is a 10-point plan for fixing the housing market which he has posted on his website.

One key element of the plan is to bring back the $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers.

He also advocates term limits for members of both houses of Congress.

“I think career politicians have been playing the game so long they don’t understand what’s right and wrong, what the constituents want,” he said.

Jerry Tetalman Tetalman, 57, is a Carlsbad resident who worked as a nurse and nursing administrator at a hospital mental health unit, and later began a new career in real estate sales and property management.

While he has been politically active, he has not run for office before. In 2005, he co-authored a book, “One World Democracy: A Progressive Vision for Enforceable Global Law.” Tetalman said when he started running last fall, people told him his chances for beating Issa were slim.

But he said the tide may have turned in February, when Issa chaired Congressional hearings on the issue of whether the government

should force religious institutions to provide contraceptive coverage for their employees. Issa was criticized because the first panel of witnesses included no women.

Later, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh stoked the fire by denigrating a female law school student who testified on the issue.

After those incidents, said Tetalman, Republicans approached him and said they would not support Issa and would instead vote for Tetalman.

“I think (Issa) lost a lot of votes in that case,” Tetalman said.

Tetalman said he plans to run a grass-roots campaign, with phone-banking and knocking on doors, but realizes he won’t have the cash for many TV ads.

Another issue he believes will resonate with voters is the so-called Buffett Rule, which President Obama has invoked as part of a plan to increase taxes on the wealthy. (The rule refers to billionaire Warren Buffett, who has called it unfair that top income-earners pay a lower tax rate than the middle class.) Tetalman said Issa has signed a pledge not to increase taxes created by anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, but that stance led to the U.S. credit downgrade last year.

“I’m confident I will be one of the top two (vote-getters) and go on to November,” Tetalman said.

WORKING TO HELP OUR CUSTOMERS AVOID FORECLOSURE IN

CALIFORNIA

We understand that foreclosures affect the communities where our customers live. That’s why Bank of America is working to help customers in those areas who are struggling to make their mortgage payments. For some, we’re able to modify their loans. For others, a short sale may be the best option.

And to determine the range of solutions that may be available for each customer, we’ve expanded our local outreach in California and across the country. We’re meeting face-to-face and over the phone with customers to help them understand their situation and explain the available options.

Through our outreach efforts, we helped over 21,000 customers in California in 2011, and gave over one million customers nationwide the chance to avoid foreclosure through loan modifications, short sales and deeds in lieu of foreclosure since 2008.

To learn more about options available, or to find an event or Customer Assistance Center in your area, please visit bankofamerica.com/homeloanhelp

Sweet success for Toffee Box From Williams-Sonoma to Martha Stewart, Rancho Santa Fe resident’s gourmet candy is in high demand

BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Heather Mubarak has found great success with The Toffee Box, a company churning out candy with “melt-in-your mouth, like-your-grandmother used to make” taste.

“I have to pinch myself sometimes, Mubarak said, noting of course she always dreamed big but to find such sweet success has been a blessing.

“It just goes to show that if you work hard, get a great product and just persevere, it’s going to work out.”

Her toffee was featured on the Martha Stewart Show in February and she recently found out it would be carried by Williams-Sonoma this fall.

“To see my product on Martha, in her hot little hand, talk about my dream come true,” Mubarak said.

“Three short years into my business, it was huge. I’ll never erase it (from the DVR).”

Toffee Box treats can be found locally at Harvest Ranch, Jimbo’s (which carries an organic, sugar-free version), Whole Foods, Seaside Market and Country Squire in Rancho Santa Fe. Mubarak is thrilled by the recent addition of Williams-Sonoma to the list.

“It’s really exciting for us, that’s the big time,” Mubarak said. “They have a great reputation for high-end gourmet. I think that will really take our business to the next level.”

A Torrey Pines High School graduate, Mubarak grew up in Solana Beach.

Her husband Jason grew up in Rancho Santa Fe and they moved back to his hometown a year ago. Their children attend R. Roger Rowe School and Jason works at Morgan Stanley in the village.

Everything Mubarak learned about making toffee she learned from Jason, who learned to make toffee with his mother and grandmother. When she first met him 17 years ago, she would often just watch the process and enjoyed the spoils, never learning how to make it.

Once the couple married, they started making it together with the family’s special recipe at home every holiday season for family and friends, neighbors, teachers and clients.

After the holiday rush, the Mubaraks always joked about starting

a business as lucky recipients of their delicious batches always encouraged them to sell it. In early 2009, Jason suggested Heather look into it more seriously—their children were older and her interior design business had slowed down as the housing market declined.

That spring, Mubarak researched every aspect of getting started in the food business.

She found a commercial kitchen and selected the perfect Rancho Santa Fe’s Heather Mubarak is the owner of The Toffee Box.

Mexican Street Cup contains dried mangoes, jicamas, cucumbers, carrots, chile powder, limejuice and sea salt.

BY KELLEY CARLSON ith the recent opening of Puesto, La Jollans only need to go as far as the Village to find Mexican streetstyle tacos. Owned and operated by brothers Eric and Alan Adler — both La Jolla High School alumni — the restaurant offers authentic fare with fresh, natural ingredients.

Its urban atmosphere is created by an interior of reclaimed brick and wood, with bright accent hues around the dining room. Floor-to-ceiling murals by graffiti artist Chor Boogie represent a colorful “explosion” of candy falling out of piñatas.

“We wanted people to feel like they’re on the street in Mexico City,” said Eric Adler, a first-generation American whose family hails from Guadalajara and Monterrey.

Customers create their own unique meal, starting at a walkup griddle, and select from a base of tacos, salads or guisado (grilled food) bowls. Meanwhile, tortillas of stone-ground maize are prepared before their eyes.

Next, they may choose their grilled foods. The meats are allnatural; the seafood is sustainable. A number of vegetarian options not commonly found locally are available, from zucchini flowers and corn truffles to cactus and potatoes with soy chorizo.

For dessert, customers may “sweeten up” with frozen horchata or the Mexican Street Cup, a concoction of fruit and vegetables topped with lime juice, chile powder and sea salt.

To quench the thirst, there are draft and bottled beers, frozen margaritas and wine, Cool Hibiscus Tea, sodas and other assorted beverages. On Taco Tuesdays, tacos are halfprice with the purchase of a beer.

Those who need a little bit of assistance in making a decision from the seemingly endless combinations can find recommendations on the back of the menu. Eric Adler’s favorite meal consists of a taco with chicken breast al pastor with tinga and cheese, and another with carne asada and guacamole.

Author to discuss book about a sister dealing with the loss of her brother •T een author to appear at Del Mar Highlands Barnes & Noble

BY KAREN BILLING A young author has given a unique voice to her first novel, “Slipping Reality,” a book about a sister dealing with the death of her older brother from cancer.

Author Emily Beaver offers heartbreaking insight as she dealt with Emily Beaver watching her brother Matthew battle the disease and struggled with grief after he passed away in 2009 at the age of 17.

Writing the book was a way to honor her sibling forever, as he was one of her biggest supporters.

Emily will hold a book signing event on Monday, April 23, at 7 p.m. at Barnes and Noble in Del Mar Highlands Town Center.

She recently took part in a book signing at the Mira Mesa Barnes and Noble and was happy to sell 50 books.

“I’ve gotten a very positive response,” said Emily, a high school senior. “For the most part the reviews have been really wonderful and it’s truly an honor. It was my first attempt so I still have a lot to learn.”

Emily started writing when she was 8 years old. Her third grade teacher assigned students to write a fable.

“We were only expected to write a paragraph or a half a page, I turned in 10 pages,” said Emily. “I had so much fun and knowing that I could create my own world and characters, I haven’t stopped since.”

Her first published work was in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cancer Book.” As Emily had always enjoyed reading the “Chicken Soup” books, her mother told her they were looking for submissions for their cancer-themed book. Emily sat down and

wrote something in 15 minutes, not really even thinking that it would be selected.

She found out her submission would be a part of the book just hours before her brother died.

Emily said she was honored to be chosen to be a part of the book and was also excited that if something she wrote in 15 minutes could be published, the possibilities could be even greater if she really put her mind to a writing project.

In her book “Slipping Reality,” Katelyn is a freshman in high school attempting to make sense of her brother’s deteriorating health.

“When it becomes too hard for her to deal with, her mind snaps,” said Emily of Katelyn’s imaginary world of two different people, a whole other world. “She loses sight of what’s important by running away from her problems.”

Part of her book is sending a message not to run away from your problems, but it’s also about being strong.

“Not just being strong for others but being strong for yourself,” Emily said. “ In life, some will have a lot of pain and suffering but you don’t have to chose to suffer in silence. Bad things can happen but you can learn to be happy and live beyond it.”

Emily said she is doing “pretty well” in her grief over the loss of her brother, who attended San Diego Jewish Academy.

“I have some days when I just can’t handle it, some dark times,” said Emily.

Although there are hard days, every day is different and sometimes she remembers the things that made Matthew unique and funny and she can’t help but laugh and celebrate him.

“I know how unhappy he’d be if I chose to live a life of sadness,” said Emily. “Grief is so unpredictable and you get through it the best you can. Writing definitely saved my life in many ways and ‘Slipping Realty’ was a big factor in that. I’m so grateful for that book.”

Two local high school boys selected for USA Rugby All-American U17 Team

BY TIM PICKWELL Billy Maggs and Drew Gaffney are doing something different for spring break.

Not spring skiing, or hitting the beach. Instead, they are hitting opposing rugby players from Europe as they participate in a prestigious international youth rugby tournament at Wellington College, about 35 miles southwest of London.

Maggs and Gaffney are teammates on the San Diego Mustangs Youth Rugby Club, which plays and practices in Carmel Valley.

Maggs is a junior at Torrey Pines High School, while Gaffney is a junior at Cathedral Catholic. The two were selected by USA Rugby to its U17 High School All American Team. They have been practicing in the UK since March 31, and had their first match against Wales on April 7. They continue with matches against England North on April 10, and Belgium on April 13, before returning home. Maggs was selected to start at outside center in the first match (a 33-13 loss to a more experienced Welsh squad), and both Maggs and Gaffney are expected to see considerable playing time in future matches.

The Mustangs were one of only two clubs in the nation to land at least two players on the HSAA U17 squad. The 29 boys on the team come from 13 different states, the District of Columbia, and even London, where two of the American boys live.

Rugby is the third most viewed sport in the world, after Soccer and the Olympics.

Rugby 7’s (the faster version of the 15-man per side sport) will be an exhibition sport in this summer’s London Olympics, and a full medal sport in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. USA Rugby is an official member

San Diego Mustangs Rugby teammates Billy Maggs (left) and Drew Gaffney stand on Easter Sunday in front of Wellington College, Berkshire, England.

The two were selected to the USA Rugby of the United States Olympic Committee and the International Rugby Board. The USA Rugby squad trains at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista.

Despite missing Maggs and Gaffney, the deep Mustangs U19 squad defeated Empire Rugby and Fallbrook Rugby in the past two weeks to run their record to 9-0. The Southern California playoffs begin for the topseeded Mustangs on April 21 at the “Little Q” Rugby field next to Qualcomm Stadium.

NSDCAR Realtors hold ShredFest in partnership with Torrey Pines High School Rummage Sale

Grauer Teacher Sean Francis Conway, teacher, Alex Espinosa (9th grade), Casper Messmann (11th grade), Forrest Gitlin, (11th grade).

Grauer School students launch school record label Grauer School music students released the first album from their school record label at a Café Night that was held on Feb. 23 in the Great Hall on the campus located in Encinitas during which students performed their works.

Grauer drama class students joined in the celebration by performing dramatic scenes on stage at this interactive creative arts event.

The collaborative effort to produce the CD included over 25 students that began the creative process under the direction of Grauer School teacher Sean Francis Conway in October of 2011. There are 10 students featured on the CD, who composed and recorded the tracks: Sister by Devon Rawlings; Colorful Cerebellum by Skyler Pia; Dying to Believe by Sage Stahmer and Nick Arnold; Lilacs by Kelsey Ellison; Improv by Matthew Higgins; Le Bungled by Casper Messmann; Bedroom Noises by John Kray; Winter’s Coming by Kelsey Ellison and Alicia Holliday; Neocracy by Matthew Meyer; Ode to Joyous Imperfection by Mathew Meyer and Treebark (a song to be listened to with headphones) by Jake Kelsoe.

The music was recorded and engineered by the Grauer School recording arts club led by teacher Karren Waller. Additional creative in-

put was provided by Dalton DeFrank, Keanan Gottlieb, Stewart Wirick, Dominique Hoffman, Alex Espinosa and Ben Murrant and others; Lauren Predki, Matthew Meyer and Kelsey Ellison designed the CD sleeve artwork.

According to Grauer Music Teacher Sean Francis Conway, “There is a different kind of thought process that goes into putting your work into recorded form. With all of the decisions that it takes to put together the overall concept of a record label, and then to produce a CD under that umbrella, it gives students a chance to understand how much work goes into producing music and art. One of the things I really hope students take away from working with The Grauer School Record Label is that even if you are not a performer, you can still have a very musical and artistic mind that plays a very important role in actually making music happen.” The students are selling the CD for a $7 suggested donation that will be applied toward producing a second CD. To learn more about The Grauer School experience, or upcoming Summer School, visit www.grauerschool.com or call 760-944-6777.

To Your Health: Be smart about medication storage and disposal

BY VICTORIA SERRANO ADAMS, PHARMD, SCRIPPS HEALTH When used as directed, prescription medications can save lives. However, if they are used incorrectly, they also can be deadly.

Improper use of medications—whether accidental or intentional—can be extremely dangerous. Brightly colored capsules or tiny tablets can look like candy to young children.

Depending on the drug, even just a few pills can have serious consequences. An overdose of commonly prescribed sedatives or the anti-anxiety medications, such as Xanax® or Ativan®, can cause extreme drowsiness, confusion, muscle weakness, coma, or death. Vicodin®, often prescribed to treat pain, can slow heart rate and breathing to dangerously low levels.

Children are not the only ones at risk. The use of drugs like Vicodin®, Ativan® and others not as prescribed—or without a prescription at all— is a serious and growing problem among both adults and adolescents.

That’s why it is vitally important to ensure your prescription medications don’t get into the wrong hands. Store all medications in a safe place; if you have any concerns about kids or adults finding them, keep them in a locked cabinet or box. Avoid potentially dangerous mix-ups by keeping drugs in their original, clearly labeled containers. Using a travel-size aspirin container to store prescription painkillers, for example, can have serious consequences if someone with a mild headache is looking for aspirin.

Do not share medications, even if family members or friends have the same symptoms.

Many conditions with similar symptoms require vastly different treatment. In addition, a medication prescribed for one person can be dangerous if given to another person who has a different medical history, medication allergies or risk of side effects. Sharing prescription medications is very risky, and can be illegal.

Maintain a record of your prescriptions and the quantities you should have on hand so that you know when pills are missing. When you order refills, check with the pharmacy to ensure no one else has refilled the prescription, and ensure only the patient (or a parent) is authorized to order and pick up refills.

Examine unfamiliar packages that come to your home via the mail or a delivery service, especially if they are unmarked or from another country. Unfortunately, the explosion of unregulated Internet pharmacies has made it relatively easy to order medications online, including controlled substances, without a prescription.

Check to make sure prescription medications are not expired or damaged. All prescription drugs have an expiration date on the label, after which they can lose effectiveness or even become harmful. Expired tetracycline, for example, can cause a deadly syndrome resulting in kidney damage. Take inventory of your medicines every few months and dispose of any that are expired. Also discard any medications that are discolored, crumbly, or powdery, regardless of the expiration date.

Finally, dispose of drugs safely. Don’t just toss them into the trash, where children, animals and anyone looking for discarded drugs can find them. While flushing unwanted medications down the toilet or sink drain may seem like a safer alternative, it isn’t. Dissolved medications can contaminate drinking water, be ingested by the public, and harm natural aquatic habitats.

Instead, take unwanted medications to designated collection sites, where they will be disposed of according to state and federal laws. On Saturday, April 28, Scripps will be collecting unwanted and expired medications as part of the countywide Prescription Take Back Day. Medications will be accepted with no questions asked; however, sharps (needles) cannot be accepted. Drop off your medications between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at any of the following Scripps locations: •Scripps Coastal Medical Center Carlsbad 2176 Salk Ave., Carlsbad •Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo 15004 Innovation Drive, San Diego •Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas 354 Santa Fe Drive, Encinitas •Scripps Green Hospital 10666 N. Torrey Pines Rd., La Jolla •Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista 435 H Street, Chula Vista Additional drop off sites are available at http://1.usa.gov/HLzHVq. Can’t make it on April 28? The San Diego Sheriff’s Department offers several locations in the community where the public can drop off unused drugs for proper disposal anytime of year. Visit sdsheriff.net to find a location near you.

Victoria Serrano Adams, PharmD, is a director of pharmacy with Scripps Health. . “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps. For more information or a physician referral, please call 1-800-SCRIPPS.

The solution is our Fibrex® window: • We’re the replacement window division of Andersen, and they developed our Fibrex material to meet their superior standards.

• Fibrex is so strong it prevents glass movement, seal failure, and discomfort in your home.

NPR correspondent T.R. Reid to address global healthcare

At the April 28 fundraiser, guests will enjoy music by the nationally-recognized U2 tribute band, Joshua Tree, to benefit Rady’s new Discovery Program for Pediatric Research.

‘Sounds of Hope for Children – In the Name of Love’ coming up April 28; Tickets still available Get Ready to rock! Tickets are still available for “Sounds of Hope for Children.� On Saturday, April 28, The LOFT at UCSD will be transformed into the hippest lounge and performance venue in town for “In the Name of Love�— a one-night only party, which includes dinner, drinks, live auction, and music by the nationally-recognized U2 tribute band, Joshua Tree, to benefit Rady’s new Discovery Program for Pediatric Research.

The members of the Carmel Valley Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary have been hard at work orchestrating the eighth annual “Sounds of Hope for Children� concert event. This year the gals decided to ditch the “black tie� and gowns in exchange for a chic and fun nightclub atmosphere inspired by the rock music of U2. Tickets are just $155 per guest (21 and up only) and are still available. The April 28 event begins at 6:30 p.m.

To learn more about Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, make a donation, or purchase tickets to “Sounds of Hope for Children 2012,� please visit www.chacv.org, email cvchairs@ gmail.com or call (619) 717-1398.

New York Times bestselling author T.R. Reid, a correspondent and reporter with NPR and PBS, will present a seminar based on his book, “The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care,� at 5 p.m. on Monday, April 30, at AMN Healthcare, 12400 High Bluff Drive in Carmel Valley.

The cost to attend is $25 before April 23 and $30 after that date.

T.R. Reid circled the globe (twice) to discover how the other free-market industrialized democracies

provide health care of high quality for everybody, and that they spend far less on health care than the United States. The results led to the national best-seller and two documentaries for PBS Frontline.

Space is limited and reservations for the three-hour session are required by calling UC San Diego Extension at 858-534-9999 and referencing the TR Reid Healthcare Seminar and Section ID 090148.

Reid found out there were other options besides “socialized medicine� out

there: many countries cover everybody with private doctors, hospitals and insurance companies. Japan, for example, has more for-profit hospitals and more private health insurance companies than the U.S., and has better health outcomes at less than half the cost.

The lecture is presented by the UC San Diego Master’s of Advanced Studies in Leadership of Healthcare Organizations, the UC San Diego Master’s of Advanced Studies in Health Law, and UC San Diego Extension.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Del Mar animal hospital gets renovation, new ownership

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

A walk to Dog Beach, a stroll through the San Dieguito Lagoon and a stop-in to Free Flight Exotic Bird Park. Sounds like not only a nice Del Mar outing, but also a typical day at the veterinarian for clients of Animal and Bird Hospital of Del Mar. “Our clients love to walk to the beach while their pets have services done,” said Layne Havens, co-owner of the hospital. “It’s not dreadful for our clients to go to the vet.

It’s really fun, and if they have kids, the kids love it too.”

Havens, along with fellow veterinarian Steve Mira, took over ownership of the hospital, located at 2132 Jimmy Durante Blvd., only a few months ago, and they say the experience has already been incredibly rewarding. Not only that, but they are in the process of an extensive renovation.

The two previously worked together for three years at Pacific Petcare in Carmel Valley, and they came together with a common vision of offering comprehensive care and top-notch boarding in a comfortable, high-quality, friendly environment.

Situated next to the nonprofit Free Flight bird sanctuary, Animal and Bird Hospital of Del Mar is very unassuming from the outside. Small and boutique-like, the facility strikes visitors with cleanliness, colorful artwork and the caring smiles of staff members upon entering. Hidden behind the quaint entrance is a high-tech and surprisingly vast 5,000-square-foot facility that offers much more space than many animal hospitals — the reason why Havens and Mira want to make use of that space by offering full-service boarding.

“It’s a good peace of mind to know if anything goes wrong there’s a vet on site,” Mira said, adding that the med-

ical and boarding aspects of the business really fuel each other in being able to provide comprehensive care.

The hospital has an 800-square-foot outdoor play area for dogs, 12 large outdoor runs and 13 indoor runs (a “run” is basically a very, very big cage).

Havens and Mira are in the process of building an upstairs cat ward for both hospi- Layne Havens and Steve Mira, coowners of the Animal and Bird talized and Hospital of Del Mar. boarding cats.

Not only will the feline area have cat condos, toys and beds, but it will feature TVs to keep the kitties occupied with recorded videos of fish, wildlife and other things a cat may like to watch.

Havens graduated from veterinarian school at Virginia Tech about five years ago and landed in San Diego when

she completed an internship at a local emergency hospital here. She loves the owner education aspect of veterinary medicine, and encourages clients to get involved in the health of their pets.

Her clinical interests include internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dentistry and ultrasound imaging.

Mira, a Michigan native, also came to San Diego when he completed an internship at a Mission Valley emergency animal hospital.

He has practiced in North County for nine years, and his professional interests include wellness care, preventative medicine and educating pet owners on all aspects of veterinary care.

For more information, visit www.animalandbirdhospital.com; call (858) 7559351. The Animal and Bird Hospital of Del Mar is located at 2132 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar, 92014.

Wild for mushrooms? Learn more about your favorite fungi preciate the assorted “ancient” benefits and put them into healing action. Considered “immuno-modulators” mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that regulate the immune system. They can amazingly dial-up a weak immune system compromised in its ability to fight infections, or whittle down an over-active, haywire one that causes a smorgasbord of auto-immune disorders including allergies and arthritis.

Some species have also been linked to maintaining metabolism for weight loss, shrinking tumors and putting the skids on high blood pressure.

They are anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, antiviral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. Mushrooms, like people, when exposed to sunlight have the ability to produce Vitamin D. So if you’re Vitamin D deficient, load up on these divine delicacies to replenish your anti-cancer Ds. They’re also packed with potassium to maintain fluid balance and healthy heart rhythm, Vitamins B1, B2, C, selenium and fiber.

The Kitchen Shrink

CATHARINE KAUFMAN Marvelous mushrooms — 40,000 species in all — were once feared by the ancients as a poisonous foe.

Many Roman emperors allegedly were victims of death by mushrooms, including Tiberius and Claudius, along with Pope Clement VII, Alexander I of Russia and Abe Lincoln’s mom, Nancy Hanks, who succumbed after drinking tainted milk from the family dairy cow who ruminated toxic mushrooms.

But the cultivated species of the mighty mushroom, 200 in all, approximately 20 commercially grown, is an immune-boosting powerhouse with remarkable healing properties.

Here’s the scoop on these sensational ‘shrooms.

Grey Around the Gills The complex mushroom has a simple two-part anatomy: the underground mycelium that scouts for food for the fungus, and the familiar umbrella-shaped body or fruit called the sporophore.

A series of small gills form under the cap containing the spores that allow the mushroom to reproduce by wind scatter. In a rudimentary form, mushrooms more closely resemble animals than plants as they “inhale” oxygen for metabolic functions and “exhale” carbon dioxide as waste.

The fungal protein also mocks animal protein in its “beefy” texture and taste. Although some species are Technicolor, most come in neutral shades of cream, brown, yellow and mousy grey.

The Boons of ’Shrooms For thousands of years, traditional Chinese healers brewed certain mushroom species as a tonic or tea to alleviate everything from migraines to sore throats. Today East meets West as modern scientists have learned to ap-

Nutrition and you: Sugar in the news...

BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT Sugar and our health has been in the news a lot lately. Perhaps you saw the CBS “60 Minutes” segment titled “Is sugar toxic?” Dr. Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, San Francisco, concluded that sugar, more than any other substance, is to blame for obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Bonnie Liebman, director of Nutrition at Center for Science in the Public Interest, recently wrote that for years researchers have found a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, gout, and weight gain in people who consume more sugar-sweetened beverages. And a flurry of new studies suggests that our out-ofcontrol sweet tooth is connected to our out-of-control belly fat.

Peggy Korody, RD, CLT The average American consumes 22 to 28 teaspoons of added sugar a day mostly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or ordinary table sugar (sucrose). Since its peak in 1999, intake from total sugars is down 8% and HFCS is down approximately 9% for the same time period, yet our obesity rates continue to rise dramatically during this same time period.

Since the 1970s, we have been warned to lower our fat consumption to reduce our risks of heart disease. I remember the explosion of “fat-free” or “low-fat” products in the cookie and snack aisle. Consumers bought these items freely thinking they were being “healthy”, but our obesity rates continued to rise. How could this be? When you take the fat out of products they don’t taste very good, so the food manufacturers simply replaced the fat with sugar, and over time sugar was replaced with HFCS. A slice of Starbucks Reduced-Fat Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake has 10 teaspoons of added sugars!

First I would like to remind everyone that sugar from any source in non-nutritive, in other words – it’s just calories. With few exceptions (like agave and corn syrup), most sweeteners and naturally occurring sugars in fruit break down into roughly half fructose and half glucose in the body (see the chart below).

Herbal and Nutritional Pharmacy Celebrating 15 years. Come see our new beautiful location in Carmel Valley.

Calm ZZZ The therapeutic action of this Chinese herbal formula is directed

Sweetener % Glucose Glucose or Dextrose 100 Corn syrup 100% Maple syrup 51.5% Brown sugar 49.5% Molasses 47.5% Raw sugar (sucrose) 50% Table sugar (sucrose) 50% Honey 44.5% Orange juice concentrate 49% HFCS 45% Apple juice concentrate 33.5% Agave 12% Fructose 0% Source: USDA Nutrient Database.

In three different studies, scientists randomly assigned people sugary beverages (made with sugar or HFCS) versus diet beverages for three to 10 weeks. No surprise, the people who consumed the sugar or HFCS drinks gained weight. So why does HFCS get such a bad rap? Sweeteners high in fructose do not affect blood sugar because fructose is metabolized in the liver very quickly. Research shows that when there is more sugar than the liver can process, it converts the sugar to fat. Some of the fat goes into the bloodstream, and that’s why we get elevated triglycerides and increase one’s risk for heart disease. It may also increase the risk of metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance, which leads to type 2 diabetes.

The bottom line: It is recommended that women should consumer no more than 100 calories (6 ½ teaspoons) and men 150 calories (9 ½ teaspoons) from added sugars a day, which is roughly 5% of a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. It’s the excess that leads to the problems. Remember that Starbucks coffee cake?

Limit fruit juice consumption to no more than 6-8 ounces a day. Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages.

Limit all added sugars (see chart above). Even Agave syrup, which has become popular among the health conscious, it may be low on the glycemic index, but it will still affect your triglyceride level more than HFCS. Don’t worry about the naturally occurring sugar in fruit, milk, and plain yogurt.

Eat a balanced diet and get most of your calories from fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, meat, fish, poultry, and oils. That doesn’t leave much room for empty calories!

Del Mar hotel gets a major facelift, opens as Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Having worked the front desk at the hotel formerly known as the Stratford Inn (Best Western) for 10 years, Barbara DuRand loves knowing the Del Mar hotel’s many regular guests — and their dogs — by name. Now, she’s getting a kick out of seeing their reactions when they enter to see the results of its multimillion-dollar renovation.

On April 12, the hotel announced its grand opening as Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar. Hotel Indigo is a boutique hotel brand that’s found in major cities worldwide. There will be a more formal opening event on May 14.

But even though the brand is internationally recognized and growing — the company plans to double Hotel Indigo locations in 2012 — it’s still a neighborhood hotel.

Each location is characterized by contemporary decor and is designed to complement the surroundings of the neighborhood. For example, each room at the Del Mar hotel has floor-to-ceiling murals of beach- and horse racing-related artwork, such as hooves in the sand or crashing waves. Even the food of each location is adapted according to the area. Del Mar’s “modern California coastal” breakfast menu features a Creme Brulee French Toast and Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict built upon potato pancakes. The breakfast burrito is also an area signature, and the kitchen boasts an in-house pastry chef.

In addition, the property offers a fullservice day-spa, two pools, hot tub and sauna, among other amenities.

When it comes to staying local, another

motto of Hotel Indigo is to keep business local. For example, hotel staff members will suggest guests rent surfboards from Rusty’s or visit Dog Beach before sending them to La Jolla or Pacific Beach.

“We’re considered a local hotel with a neighborhood story, so we’re going to send guests places in Del Mar,” said Laura Wildeman, the hotel’s director of sales.

Hotel Indigo is fully pet-friendly and has no size or breed restrictions for dogs.

Since many of Del Mar’s canine-loving guests therefore choose the hotel, the staff makes sure to have dog treats stocked at the front desk at all times. Wildeman said the hotel will also offer Hotel Indigo dog tags to inform people where the visiting dogs’ hotel is located in case the dogs get lost.

The Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar is the site of the original Stratford Inn, built in 1910. Pacifica Host Hotels owns and manages the Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar, under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group (www. ihg.com). Pacifica Host Hotels also manages the La Valencia hotel in La Jolla and several local Holiday Inns, among others.

“Aligning with Hotel Indigo was a natural fit,” said Susan Knapp, the hotel’s general manager. “Not only does the hotel’s new design incorporate community staples like the beach and the racetrack, but the friendly service makes guests feel welcome in a neighborly setting.”

For reservations, contact Hotel Indigo Del Mar at (858) 755-1501. Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar is located at 710 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, Calif., 92014.

Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation.

The property boasts a fullservice day-spa, two pools, hot tub, sauna and bistro-style restaurant with a full bar, among other amenities.

The property heretofore described is being sold “as isâ€?. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: VACANT LAND. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $33,857.16 (Estimated) Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this ďŹ gure prior to sale.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s ofďŹ ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or Commercial Deed of Trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneďŹ ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of

Prudential hosting webinar, dispels myths about foreclosure Prudential California Realty is hosting a free webinar to educate local homeowners about foreclosure alternatives, on April 26 at 6:30 p.m. The webinar will feature in-depth analyses about a variety of strategies for avoiding foreclosure, from workout plans and loan modifications to short sales, a transaction in which the difference between the remaining loan amount and the sale price is forgiven by the lender.

“Being upside down on a mortgage or receiving a notice of default isn’t the end of the world,” said Cory Shepard, Prudential’s vice president. “But the choices that people have to make during such a critical period in their lives can have lasting effects on their future. Our goal with this webinar is to help people find the best possible course of action based on their individual set of circumstances.”

The webinar will provide homeowners with a chance to ask questions from a panel of industry experts, including real estate attorneys and short sale specialists — all from the comfort, convenience and privacy of their own home. Strategies for benefiting from the federal government’s Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program will be covered, in addition to the advantages and potential disadvantages of short sales.

“In many cases a short sale is the best option for a homeowner facing foreclosure,” adds Shepard, “However, people need to understand that short sales can be a lengthy and complex transaction, and there can even be tax implications. The importance of hiring a qualified real estate professional to handle a short sale really can’t be understated.”

Prudential’s free webinar about foreclosure alternatives is being offered at absolutely no obligation. To sign up, please register at www.prudentialcal.com, or visit one of Prudential California Realty’s 24 conveniently located offices in San Diego County for more information.

Anne Schreiber off and running at Coldwell Banker Rancho Santa Fe Realtor Anne Schreiber of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Rancho Santa Fe has not been in the real estate business very long, in fact, only a mere month. However, Schreiber, a former full-time kindergarten teacher and fitness franchise operator, has already landed her first listing which has already seen multiple offers.

A San Diego native and UCSD graduate with a bachelor’s in sociology, Schreiber earned her master’s in education from the University of Alaska Southeast.

Now at Coldwell Banker Rancho Santa Fe, Schreiber is looking to build upon and enhance the foundation of her professional success.

“As you can tell, Anne does not wait around to make things happen, she takes the bull by the horns and gets results,” said Branch Manager Steve Salinas. “She’s intelligent, Anne Schreiber tenacious, eager to learn and undaunted: all good signs of a quality Realtor.”

Anne Schreiber specializes in the communities in and around Rancho Santa Fe, Del Sur, Santaluz and Del Mar.

Q&A continued from page B1 What is your dream vacation?

That would be a stay at Club Med in the Bahamas with my family.

What are your five favorite movies of all time?

“The English Patient,” “Heat,” “Out of Africa,” “Braveheart,” “Gladiator,” and “Last of the Mohicans.”

(I couldn’t resist six.)

What foods comfort you?

Homemade, warm chocolate chip cookies.

What is your philosophy of life?

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

But the greatest of these is love.

La Femme Chic Consignment Boutique to hold special anniversary fashion show It’s been one year since La Femme Chic Consignment Boutique began fashionista makeovers for North County San Diego residents by providing “love-me” merchandise at “buyme” prices. The Boutique, and Propriétaire, Janet Sinclair, will celebrate their successful first year with 150 attendees at a “VIP One Year Anniversary Party Fashion Show” event on Thursday, April 26, from 6 p.m.to 8:30 p.m.

“You don’t have to go into debt or break your budget to turn heads and look amazing.” explains Sinclair, “Why pay retail when you can get the same labels for less than half the cost? That’s exactly what we’ll demonstrate in our VIP Show on the 26th.”

Attendees will enjoy signature “Pink Passion” cocktails and pre-seating for the show at 6 p.m. The fashion show will begin at 6:30 p.m. sharp. Professional models will grace the runway with looks that mirror fashions worn by the stars. Immediately following the show, a celebrity-esque guest will wow the crowd with a soloist performance.

The night will be memorable with multiple Opportunity Drawings and a Grand Prize drawing of a coveted Louis Vuitton hand bag. All drawing proceeds will benefit the local nonprofit, tax exempt 501 (c)(3), Greyhound Adoption Center which rescues, rehabilitates, and places greyhounds in loving homes in California and Las Vegas.

This is a first come first serve ticketed event limited to the first 150 registrations: Event registration is required. Kindly RSVP by Wednesday, April 18, at http://goo.gl/YNXvN. La Femme Consignment Boutique is located at 415 S. Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach.
