Public opinion battle begins over Main Street project BY JOE TASH Contributor The effort to influence public opinion regarding a proposed mixed-use development in Carmel Valley is well underway, even though city hearings to determine the project’s fate are still months in the future. Earlier this month, several Carmel Valley residents launched a website that raises concerns about potential impacts of the project

Donations needed to avoid possible teacher reductions — Submitted by the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) is facing a possible reduction of three credentialed ESC teacher positions for the 2011-12 school year if additional contributions are not received by its fundraising deadline of April 30. The Extended Curriculum Program (ESC) of science, music, art, technology and physical education has seen reductions in each of the last two years and now faces yet another reduction for the next school year. This latest reduction would mean that a total of seven ESC teacher positions have been lost over the last three school years, significantly impacting the eight elementary schools that comprise the DMUSD from offering a fullslate of ESC education. The responsibility to ensure that the ESC program is properly staffed and funded falls on the shoulders of the parents in the district. The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) is operated by parent volunteers whose sole mission is to col See TEACHER, page 6

planned for the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real. The project is called Main Street, and is proposed by Kilroy Realty. The mixed-use development would be built on a 23.5-acre parcel and include 536,000 square feet of office space, 270,000 square feet of retail space, and 600 condominiums and apartments. A draft environmental impact report on the project is expected to be released for public comment by mid-

summer, said Robert Little, Kilroy’s vice president for development. The proposal includes the construction of two office buildings — one 10 stories and one seven stories — and a 150-room business hotel, said Little. See BATTLE, page 6

Lunchtime fast-food routine results in overcharges BY JOE TASH Contributor Ed Wagner is a creature of habit when it comes to lunch. The Encinitas man, who works as an investment manager at a Carmel Valley office, has gone to the drive-through of the same Taco Bell restaurant on Carmel Valley Road near Interstate 5 once or twice a week for the past three years. He always orders the same thing: two tostadas and a bean burrito, and the total always comes to $3.88. But last week when he was reviewing his credit card statements, he noticed something amiss: on about half of the charges dating back to December, he was charged either $4.88 or $5.88. That’s when he got suspicious, and decided to conduct a test. He went to the drivethrough on April 18, placed his usual order, and received a receipt for $3.88. But when he got back to his office and checked his account online, he found he had been charged $5.88. In all, Wagner found 15 such overcharges of either $1 or $2 on his credit card statements. He contacted the restaurant chain, which investigated his complaint and then refunded the overcharg-

Getaway driver in takeover-style robberies sentenced to 14 years BY KELLY WHEELER CITY NEWS SERVICE A probationer who drove the getaway car in a series of takeover-style bank robberies that netted the masked bandits a total of $293,000 was sentenced today to 14 years and four months in state prison. Thaddeus Williams, 24, was convicted last month of three robbery charges, but jurors acquitted him of two additional robbery counts. Williams was the first of four defendants to stand trial in the series of five bank robberies that occurred between Sept 2008 and January 2009. The parking lot at 1601 Coast Highway recently hit the market, with an asking price of Deputy District Attorney Allen Brown $10 million, according to loopnet.com. The lot is one of the city’s most heavily used pay-tosaid the group of four -- and in one case five park sights, with patrons from Powerhouse Park, Jake’s Del Mar, and Poseidon using it regular- men -- committed takeover-style holdups in ly. The nearly one-acre parking lot could potentially include 10,000 square-feet of commercial which they entered the banks with guns drawn, jumped the counter and ordered the development, pending the city’s approval.

volved guns, the judge said. Defense attorney Bruce Sobel argued unsuccessfully that Williams didn’t go into any of the banks, was not armed and was only the getaway driver. Valentine wasn’t swayed, saying that whenever someone pulls a firearm, ``you put the community at risk.’’ Brown told the jury that on Sept. 30, 2008, three suspects jumped out of a car and robbed a U.S. Bank branch in Del Mar of $136,807. The robbers wore masks, athletic gloves and at least two of them had guns, the prosecutor said. Pepper spray was used on people who were ordered to the ground even though they were compliant, Brown said. The robbers jumped into a waiting car and got away. On Dec. 1, 2008, Brown said, four suspects got out of a different car and robbed a Pacific Western bank in Rancho Bernardo of more than $25,500. The robbers got away, but money stained with red dye from a bank dye pack and a 32-caliber gun were found outside the bank. On Dec. 13, 2008, a group of men rushed into a Wells Fargo bank in El Cajon and got away with nearly $13,000. No getaway car was seen, but an officer duty officer saw the men running from the bank and identified Williams and one of them, according to Brown. On Dec. 22, 2008, four men wearing

Carmel Valley

Gourmet food truck option proves popular in CV BY KAREN BILLING The gourmet food truck trend has hit Carmel Valley. Often parking on the business section of the community on High Bluff Drive in the lunchtime hours, the trucks bring a unique alternative to running out to grab lunch, often times with some pretty tasty selections you wouldn’t expect to come out of the back of a truck. In San Diego, the food truck fleet has grown to include about 27 different mobile eateries, although not all have made Carmel Valley a frequent stop in their rotation. The Tabe BBQ truck has stopped by, serving up chicken, beef, pork and fish tacos on warm tortillas stuffed with veggies and topped with their special salsa. Like some kind of adult ice cream truck, the Sweet Treats truck has also been spotted in Carmel Valley, satisfying late afternoon cravings with brownies, cheesecakes, cupcakes and cookies from local vendors such as Cupcake Love, Heaven Sent and San Diego Desserts. They also serve specialty items like strawberry shortcake parfaits, cake pops, cappuccinos and chocolate milk. One truck that has made Carmel Valley a weekly destination is MIHO Gastrotruck. The truck has been visiting Carmel Valley since January to a “very, very positive reception,” said co-owner Juan Miron. “It definitely exceeded our expectations right from the beginning,” said Miron, who pulled their frequent Little Italy stop in favor of Carmel Valley on most Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Miron started MIHO a year ago in May with his partner Kevin Ho. The pair wanted to put their own spin on “street food” like burgers and tacos by offering food made with fresh, local and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. “We were inspired by the philosophy of farm to table, that’s always been what we’ve been passionate about and that’s how we live our lives,” Miron said. Last Wednesday the MIHO Gastrotruck swung into High Bluff and within a few minutes a long line of hungry customers had formed on the sidewalk. “People that work in that area want a different option,” Miron said. “They want to eat healthier and they want it to

Customers line up for MIHO Gastrotruck on High Bluff Drive last Wednesday. Photo/Karen Billing be affordable and quick.” The offerings are far from just hot dogs and chips: last week MIHO was serving up a strawberry salad with candied walnuts and goat cheese, tofu lettuce wraps and pork belly banh mi on a baguette with fresh, local farm veggies. For some in line it was their first time trying out the truck, wandering out from their nearby office buildings, like Alan Ebright, who just heard about the trucks from a co-worker and decided to give it a try. Others, faithful customers that Miron likes to call “HOMIs,” traveled to Carmel Valley from quite a distance. Chris Wheeler drove from his office in Sorrento Valley with a handful of friends—he follows where the trucks are headed online.

“I like the simplicity of it and I think it’s better (than going to a restaurant) to be honest,” Wheeler said, One of MIHO’s biggest HOMIs is Jane Rieger, who drove over from her office at Intuit on Camino Del Sur. “It’s worth the drive,” said Rieger, who follows the trucks on Facebook and said MIHO is the only one she goes to. “There’s always something delicious.” Last Wednesday’s lineup included one of her favorites, their burger. But Miho’s is not any old basic burger. Called the burger au poivre, it’s made with grass-fed beef, truffle pepper aioli, sautéed local mushroom, local arugula and aged sheep milk cheese on a local brioche bun. “I’m a super picky eater. At home we eat all organic and my husband is a gourmet chef,” Rieger said. “They’re doing this local, organic and super tasty food out of a truck for heaven’s sake!” Dave McIntyre, who serves on the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, has expressed concerns about the trucks parking in red curb areas and making turns dangerous for drivers on the road. Miron said that they aim not to park in the red curb areas and have even moved their location further down High Bluff to accommodate some construction parking in the area. Miron also answered concerns about the safety of their food—no food is kept on the truck save for the two hours they are serving lunch, the rest it is stored in the kitchen they rent. They undergo three health inspections a year and follow “every regulation by the book,” he said. The best way to know when MIHO is coming to town is to follow them online—they have 2,744 Twitter followers. Another great way is to sign up for their weekly newsletter, on their website, mihogastrotruck.com. The newsletter lets HOMI’s know about the menu for the week— Miron said they change it frequently to keep it “fresh and interesting.” However they always have their burger, a second protein option, a vegetarian option, salad and fries.

BATTLE continued from page 1 Supporters contend the project will provide a longdesired, pedestrian-oriented gathering place for Carmel Valley, which includes shops, restaurants and movie theaters. The center will also boost the local economy by providing 700 construction jobs, 2,000 permanent jobs and several million dollars in anual tax revenue for the city of San Diego, said Little. But residents such as Jerry Mailhot, one of the people who launched the website www.whatpricemainstreet.com, are concerned that traffic generated by the development will clog the area’s roadways. Mailhot and others also question whether the scale of the project is too big for Carmel Valley, and fear it will cause parking congestion on surrounding streets and parking lots. “The way I see it, you might have to park a mile away in order to have the

opportunity to walk on Main Street,” Mailhot said. Mailhot, a former member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group, said current zoning of the parcel would allow 500,000 square feet of office space, and the proposed Main Street plan nearly quadruples that level of development. In order to move forward, Kilroy needs the city to approve a zoning change, a community plan amendment and a general plan amendment. “This whole project sounds good, but right now, based on the facts we have, we don’t think this is feasible,” said Mailhot, because of the potential traffic, parking and size and scale issues. “If it’s obvious this is not feasible, we’re in favor of keeping the (community) plan as it is right now, since it’s already been approved, no changes.” Little said some of the information on the residents’ website is incorrect. For example, the website states that the Main Street project will add more than

30,000 vehicle trips to Carmel Valley roads. Little said that figure is inaccurate, and the correct traffic numbers will be released with the draft environmental report. “I know their number is significantly overreaching.” As part of the development, Little said, the company will pay for traffic improvements that will alleviate impacts from the project, and also address existing traffic issues in the area. “We’re prepared to put in a significant amount of investment offsite to mitigate those concerns,” he said. He also refuted claims on the website that Main Street is 10 times more dense than the adjacent Del Mar Highlands Town Center, and twice the size of the University Town Center mall in San Diego. According to Little, the Main Street project would include 220,000 square feet of shops and restaurants, and a 50,000-square-foot cinema. That compares with 275,000 square feet of shops at Del Mar High-

lands, he said. Main Street would include less than one-fourth the retail square footage of UTC, he said, and comparing other development, such as office and residential, to the two shopping centers’ square footage is “grossly inaccurate,” he said. The UTC Macy’s store alone is 155,000 square feet, he said. UTC’s total retail space is just over 1 million square feet, according to figures provided by Mailhot. Little said Kilroy has worked closely with the community, including the Carmel Valley planning board, to refine its plans. “We have a lot of support for the plan and a lot of people have helped us get it to this stage,” he said. The company will soon launch its own website to inform the public about the project, he said. After the public comment period on the environmental report, the project will go before the Carmel Valley planning board, the San Diego Planning Commission and the San Diego City Council.

Poetsch wrote that Wagner was the only customer to come forward. “They’ve been great with me. But I think it’s not enough if they stop here,” Wagner said. “They do need to go back and find all the victims and give them their money back.” Deputy District Attorney Gina Darvas, who heads the agency’s Consumer Protection Unit, said she’s not sure if the incidents described by Wagner involve criminal fraud or inadvertent overcharging. But she suggested that Wagner contact her office. “It’s something we would look into,” Darvas said. “We are interested in stuff like this. That’s how we keep the businesses honest.” She said customers should closely check their receipts when using credit

The DMSEF has set a $2 million fundraising goal to supply a fully funded ESC program and has increased the number of fundraisers this past year to get more parents both aware and involved. While contributions are currently at $1.1 million, the foundation is working feverishly to maximize contributions by the district-imposed fundraising deadline of April 30. Parents are asked to make a contribution imme-

Wagner said he did not have to sign for the purchases since the amount was small, and did not receive separate credit card receipts to compare with the cash register receipts detailing his meal. Many businesses do provide both receipts to customers who make credit card purchases. “The big lesson I take from this is this kind of thing probably happens to people a lot more than they think,” said Wagner. “I don’t think people really pay attention to a three- or four-dollar charge. I suspect a lot of errors or misconduct happens to people’s credit cards without them being aware. It makes me a lot more cautious about using my credit card, it makes me rethink whether to use credit cards at all.” San Diego County residents who suspect they’ve been overcharged, or have questions about potential unfair business practices, can contact the San Diego County District Attorney’s Consumer Protection Hotline at 619-531-3507. diately through the DMSEF to support the ESC programs.

Jury refuses damage award but says school negligent BY KELLY WHEELER CITY NEWS SERVICE A jury refused April 20 to award damages to a former La Jolla Country Day student who claimed she was bullied by classmates and that the school retaliated against her when she complained, but did find the school negligent. Desiree Bagby, now 18, sued in 2009, alleging she suffered emotional distress at the hands of top LJCD administrators and that the school breached its contract with her to re-enroll for her junior year. After a four-week trial, jurors found that school headmaster Christopher Schuck and high school principal Roderick Jemison were not out of line in their dealings with Bagby, but found that LJCD was negligent and breached its contract with her. Both sides claimed victory. “This was the end of a very long process in which the school continually said that this was not a case of bullying, and the jury fully agreed,” said Chris Lavin, director of communications and marketing for La Jolla Country Day. “This was a young woman who, unfortunately, was facing expulsion from the school and chose to develop a case with her family using things that the jury has rejected, as a way of criticizing the school, Lavin said. “We had to stand up in court and defend ourselves against one of our own clients, never a good day for the school. But we had to do it because we have to discipline our students,” Lavin said. “Ms. Bagby was facing disciplinary problems, from the theft of beer, from distribution of beer to other students, cheating on exams, and at some point, the school has to say enough is enough.” Bagby said she was happy that she got her day in court. “I’m just happy that I got to share my side of the story,” she said. “And I just hope that other kids that this is happening to will have the courage to speak up, as well.” Her attorney, Joane Garcia-Colson said the case was a victory because the jury found LJCD negligent, even though it did not award any monetary damages.

Bagby had asked for $1 million. “If this bullying epidemic sweeping the country is going to be stopped, people like Desiree have to stand up and have to speak out,” the attorney said. “And the more people who do that, maybe schools will make some changes to protect our kids.” Bagby testified that she found slurs and a penis sketched on her car. She also alleged a student nearly ran her down in a school parking lot; that she was threatened via the Internet; and that someone put a dead rat in her locker. Lavin said it turned out to be mouse. Attorney John Collins, representing the school, told jurors in his closing argument on Monday that the lawsuit was a “misuse” of the justice system and was filed to get back at the school. “They (school administrators) followed protocol to the letter,” Collins said. He told jurors that the girl’s father told his daughter’s adviser at La Jolla Country Day that his goal in filing the lawsuit was to drag the school through the mud. Collins said most of the witnesses in the trial contradicted Desiree Bagby’s testimony that she was bullied and that the school didn’t do enough about it. Bagby was suspended for five days for stealing beer and drinking during a school-sponsored trip to Ecuador and yelling an obscenity at a heckler during a school soccer game, according to court testimony. A recommendation to expel Bagby was overturned, but she was ultimately asked to withdraw from the school, which she did. Bagby claimed she did not get a re-enrollment contract for her junior year, but Collins said the school principal sent one to her home a day after he was told she did not get one. Garcia-Colson told the jury that the school wanted to make an example out of her. The attorney said Babgy was humiliated when her soccer coach suspended her for missing a game. By not notifying the Bagbys that their daughter wasn’t getting a contract to re-enroll at the school, administrators “broke their

own rules” and “betrayed” Bagby, her attorney argued. According to GarciaColson, school officials failed to discipline three girls who admitted defacing Bagby’s car. The girls told school administrators they did so after she wrote on their cars, but that no one asked Bagby for her side of the story because she was the “bad girl from Ecuador,” according to Garcia-Colson. Administrators concluded that Bagby, also a member of the cheer team, was a “bad child” and “they needed to get rid of her,” the attorney said. Bagby, who wants to be a child-advocate attorney, said she plans to resume her college career at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Local service dog rescued by motorist but not returned to owner A service dog was rescued from the side of Interstate-5, but it still hasn’t been returned to its owner, despite the fact that it was wearing ID tags with contact information listed. Rose, a 9-month-old pure bred Australian Sheppard, was with her owner Whitney Engle at the coin laundry on Del Mar Heights Road the night of Saturday, April 16. A man entered and startled the dog, causing it to run out the door. Engle, who uses the service dog to help ease her anxiety, said she searched for Rose that night to no avail. She also posted flyers and created a Facebook page, “Rose Australian Shepherd.” Engle later received word that a California Highway Patrol Officer and another motorist had seen Rose walking along Interstate-5 the night she went missing. Both said they saw someone pull over and pick Rose up, but nobody ever contacted Engle to return the dog. The CHP officer told Engler he didn’t take down any information about the person who picked up Rosie on the freeway because he assumed it was the owner or a friend. Engle said there is a reward for Rose’s return, adding that several people in the community have offered to help, though she will not say how much money she’s offering at this point. Rose is roughly 50 pounds with a brown and white long-haired coat. She has freckles on her nose and no tail. Anyone with information is asked to call 858-210-1089.

Firefighters promote safe teen driving through triathlon BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer Drivers ages 16 to 19 are four times more likely to die behind the wheel than their older counterparts and, in fact, car accidents are the leading cause of death among teens, according to data from the Center for Disease Control. The statistic is sobering, and one that emergency first-responders know all too well. And for retired San Diego firefighter Mark Woody it’s an epidemic that hit especially close to home. His 17-year-old daughter BreAnna was killed in a car accident last year. Woody and a team of other local firefighters will honor BreAnna, or Breezy as she was known by many, this summer by competing in the 2011 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in an effort to help curb the deadly trend among U.S. teens. A 10-member crew from the San Diego Firefighters’ Endurance Sports Team will compete to raise money for the Trauma Research and Education Foundation, which funds education campaigns about the importance of safe driving. “My family and I are so grateful that the fire-

BreAnna ‘Breezy’ Woody died in a car accident last year. She was 17. fighting community is honoring Breezy’s legacy by raising money to help bring awareness to the issue of teen driving safety in hopes of reducing, and even preventing, the number of teen deaths in San Diego County,” Woody said. “This is such an important issue that affects us all because we all share the roadways,” added Carmel Valley resident Zachary Oneil, one of the firefighters who will be competing this summer. “All of us firefighters have a strong drive for community service, and this is one more way for us to serve the community.” The community can

now support the firefighters by pledging money to their effort by making donations at Race4Breezy. org. The team, which is also sponsored by the CWO3 Shawn Harrison Foundation and Lattice Inc., hopes to raise at least $25,000 before the June 5 triathlon, an extremely challenging course that includes a 1.5-mile swim through frigid waters near Alcatraz, an 18-mile bike ride through San Francisco’s hills, and an 8-mile run through rugged trails and up a cliff. “It’s going to be real challenge and, in fact, this is will be my first event of this distance,” Oneil said and then added,” but I can’t think of a better cause to do this for.” If you would like to help by pledging money to the firefighters team, please visit Race4Breezy. org.

Carmel Del Mar students help others through shoe drive

Robyn Miller does a reading during the Seder.

Students at Carmel Del Mar collected more than 200 pair of shoes for their Souls4Soles Shoe Drive during Earth Week. Standing with the shoes are members of the school Green Team that organized the event. Souls4Soles collects new and lightly used shoes and distributes them to people around the world who cannot afford shoes. It is estimated that 1 billion people do not have the money to buy a pair of shoes.

Due to a technical problem, the wrong event information ran in our April 14 issue with photos from an event (shown in photos above) that the San Diego Jewish Academy held earlier this month. The correct information for the photos should have read that in preparation for the school’s upcoming annual Holocaust Memorial Service and in honor of Passover, 5th grade students conducted a Seder where they learned about the lives of local Holocaust survivors.

Beauty Bundles SpaTique opens in Piazza Carmel BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Beauty Bundles SpaTique in Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel may be a new business but the woman behind it is a familiar face in Carmel Valley. Owner Marlene Gadinis opened and operated the Ecotique in Del Mar Highlands for nine years before selling it in 2006. She is returning with her Beauty Bundles retail boutique and salon that offers hair services, facials and waxing with massage and nails still to come. “It just feels so great to be back in the community,” said Gadinis. Beauty Bundles had a soft opening in mid-March and they are currently running a grand opening special offering 50 percent off all services through May 7. On Sunday, May 15, from 1-5 p.m., Gadinis will host a grand opening with complimentary treatments such as hand massages and mini-facials, as well as music and food. Gadinis completed a

The shampoo area has a unique shampoo couch were clients can relax on while getting their hair washed. The retail section is full of Aveda products and gift items such as cozy polka dot bath robes and fuzzy spa blankets and booties.

Gadinis has been a stylist for 30 years. Originally from Wisconsin, she moved to Los Angeles in 1984 and down to San Diego in 1994. When she bought Ecotique, it was a small, 700-square-foot space and she was pregnant with her second child. She expanded Ecotique and kept growing the business. Things changed when she looked at her youngest, who was by then 9 years old—she realized she was missing out on too much and decided to sell. The last four years she has been cultivating Beauty Bundles as an online boutique. The idea of the bundle was getting more for a person than just a gift certificate. A certificate for a spa could be paired with a candle and a couple other items just to make the recipient feel that much more special, given together in a cute bundle bag. The concept went over well but Gadinis missed her customers. “I missed taking care of people,” Gadinis said. “On-

It also gave customers the opportunity to experience the products, not just in front of a computer screen. Beauty Bundles offers

the full line of Aveda products— the plant and flowerbased line is used in all the services they provide, such as facials and hair. Aveda hair color is 97 percent natural, which is “huge” for women who are pregnant, Gadinis said. “Aveda facials are glorious,” Gadinis said. “Aveda offers an alternative to mi-

Solana Pacific students’ creativity shines at open house art show BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer A common utterance by parents as they wandered through the Solana Pacific School’s open house art show was: “How did all the kids get this good?” On the walls were colorful Picassoesque works, MC Escher drawings, abstract paintings and scarily realistic Greek masks. Mom Britt Rubenstein was completely wowed. “It’s unbelievable the work that the kids are doing here, it’s impressive beyond belief that this is what comes out of fifth and sixth graders,” said Rubenstein. She said she just moved her child to Solana Pacific from a school where there was no art and creativity was not encouraged. To see her child’s work up on the wall was a real treat for her. “I couldn’t believe my kid did that,” Rubenstein said. Envelopes were attached to the artwork for parents to make contributions to the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning,

which supports the district’s art program. “Without your generosity we wouldn’t have the most fabulous art teacher in the world, Pattie Weinberg,” the envelopes read. The fabulous art teacher Weinberg has been in the Solana Beach School District since 2000, starting at Solana Highlands and moving to Solana Pacific when it opened in 2005. “I love this age group,” said Weinberg of her fifth and sixth graders. “They’re very capable and the harder the project the better they do.” Answering the question uttered by parents walking through her exhibit of how the kids became so good, Weinberg said it’s all about keeping them challenged. She gives them projects that they need to focus on and think about, she conquers limited attention spans by given them a lot of directions to follow “I think it gives them See ART, page 24

7 QUESTIONS

Blayney Colmore picks up pen to write works in retirement Blayney Colmore is an Episcopal priest who was ordained in 1966. He worked in parishes in Akron, Ohio; Washington, D.C. and Dedham, Mass., before coming to be rector of St. James By-the-Sea in 1997. In 1996, he completed 30 years of parish ministry and retired to write on a full-time basis. He has penned three books, most recently a novel, “Meander: Wooing Ms. Maudie,� which was germinated by a 1984 family sabbatiBlayney Colmore cal in Zimbabwe. He is married to interior designer Lacey, who has worked with Ross Thiele & Son in La Jolla for the past 20 years. The couple has five children scattered across the country and three grandchildren (soon to be four). “When I retired, we went to live in our 1830 farmhouse in rural Vermont,� Colmore said. �Our first winter made it clear that San Diego had wrecked us for any further Vermont winters. Since 1997, we have spent the cold half of the year in our apartment in the Shores. I hike up to the Museum of Contemporary Art most days where I write, thanks to Hugh Davies who named me Writer-In-Residence. It is stirring to hear the hours chimed from the tower of the church across the street from where I spent those happy years, especially so because the church is being so ably led through these strange times by Randal Gardner, a gracious and engaging rector.� What brought you to this area? The search committee of St. James By-the-Sea brought me here after their rector, Benjamin Lavey, died. I had doubts about making the shift from a New England Yankee “low�

church to this rather Latin “high� church. Those doubts were washed away by my first swim in the Pacific. I am so grateful that they were. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by our remarkable young president; my children who are making runs at life in different, inventive ways I could never have imagined; and my wife who has devoted her huge talent to caring for the Earth and its aesthetics. Who would be on your dream guest list, if you hosted a dinner party for eight? My invitees would include Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the young Lutheran pastor executed by the Nazis; Alice Roosevelt Longworth; Steve Jobs; Rosa Parks; Andy Wright, founding chair of UCSD English Department; David Foster Wallace; Julian Assange and Elizabeth Taylor. Tell us about what you are reading. I am a promiscuous reader, recently finishing “The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine,� by Michael Lewis; “36 Arguments for the Existence of God,� by Rebecca Newberger Goldstein; �Wolf Hall“ by Hilary Mantel, and I just delved into “The Good Book: A Humanist Bible.�

What is your dream vacation? Well, coming here each November is tough to top. Lacey and I spent a fascinating Christmas two years ago with a couple of our kids in Hanoi. Last November we went to Cuba and saw my ancestors’ tombs. I hope to get to China, and to the Philippines where I spent some growing-up years. Developing countries are a big draw for me. What are your five favorite movies of all time? These would be “The Big Lebowski,â€? “Contempt,â€? starring Brigitte Bardot and Jack Palance, “Rear Window,â€? “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,â€? and “Rebel Without A Cause.â€? What foods comfort you? I enjoy meatloaf and mashed potatoes, all sweets, and cafĂŠ mocha (especially from Brick & Bell). What is your motto or philosophy of life? If I was foolish enough to try to adopt one, it might be, “You can never tell.â€?

NOT the Internet, research says 78% of the “home buyer pool� is local and successful agents use papers to attract the best leads— while the Internet is best used in a “support� role The biggest problem with listing your home on the internet is this...the internet is huge! It would take hours to find all the available listings of homes for sale in this town—if you could even find them all...which you can’t. This is no doubt why Borrell Associates, the nationally known research firm reports that 66% of Americans rely on their local newspaper to buy and sell their homes, compared with only 20% using the internet. The biggest reason that a paper like the Del Mar Times/Solana Beach Sun/Carmel Valley News are such a powerful lead generating tool for agents, is the paper’s long-term credibility with readers. When your home is listed or shown in this paper, it benefits from the paper’s thorough reporting and “believability�.

Home-Selling Facts and the Del Mar Times/Solana Beach Sun/Carmel Valley News: ✔ 70% - 80% of home-buyers, buy locally. ✔ The Del Mar Times is delivered by the Postal Service ... to each resident’s home. ✔ The Solana Beach Sun and Carmel Valley News are delivered to residences in their communities. ✔ Those most likely to purchase your home read these publications. ✔ Each week they feature HOMES SOLD in 92014/92075 and their actual price. ✔ These papers and their sister publica-tions, reaches 9 of the 10 wealthiest zip codes in San Diego. ✔ These publications reach 200,000 “qualified� home buyers—every week. ✔ Serious home buyers are reading these publications to find “prestigious� homes & estates, like yours. ✔ The top agents in Del Mar/Solana Beach/ Carmel Valley advertise in these publications, because it sells homes.

Ask your agent if they are using the Del Mar Times/Solana Beach Sun/ Carmel Valley News and sister publications. If not, have your agent call them at 858-756-1403 x112 and ask for Sharon to get your home sold faster.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Fix Me Fitness now open in Del Mar

Highlands Jewelers celebrates the charms of San Diego By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer After more than three decades here, Highlands Jewelers owner Victor Manoushakian has come see the charms of San Diego — figuratively and literally speaking. Living in this community has inspired the master craftsman to create a series of charms that pay homage to the area. “I’ve been a resident for 32 years, and I wanted to give back to the community as an artist,” he said. “For me, making jewelry is a passion. This creation is my way of saying ‘thank you’ to the community.” The sterling silver jewelry pieces are all crafted on sight, and each read “San Diego,” “La Jolla” or “Del Mar” and depict a palm tree or dolphin. The pieces can be worn as a charm for a bracelet or pendant for a necklace. They can also be engraved, which make for a great way to commemorate a special occasion, Manoushakian said. “These would make great keepsakes from a special trip here. After all, you can only buy so many shirts and mugs,” he said. Manoushakian, who also sits on the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, has a broad spectrum of experience in all metals, diamonds, precious stones and gemstones, with an emphasis on custom jewelry design and repair. Manoushakian does all the work himself and on-sight, which is highly rare today. “I’m an old-fashioned, hands-on jeweler,” said Manoushakian, who knows many of his customers on a firstname basis. His classic approach to customer service has earned him a loyal following and, in fact, some families have been coming to Highlands Jewelers for multiple generations. Manoushakian’s foundation as a jeweler was set in his homeland of Beirut, Lebanon, where his uncles were all

master jewelers. His apprenticeship in the industry began when he was 14 and continued until 1973 when he moved to Canada to attend a jewelry-making school. In 1975 he began work in one of the world’s largest jewelry stores, “Birks Jewellers” in Montreal, Canada. Several years later, he moved to the U.S. and passed the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) Diamond Grading course, as well as the Swest Jewelry Casting Workshop. Manoushakian worked more than 12 years at Bower’s Jewelers in La Jolla before opening his own store in Carmel Valley in 1989. “This community has been very good to me, and I very much want to thank them for allowing me to be a part of it,” he said. Highlands Jewelers is located at 3830 Valley Center Drive, Suite 706. For more information, please visit highlandsjewelers.net or 858-481-9193.

BY MARK DAUGHTERS, INTERLACED SAN DIEGO INC. Computers are amazing. Think of how much stuff is in your computer right now. Thousands of pictures, music tracks, videos, contacts, calendars, documents, spreadsheets, emails, and probably, a lot more. To store that in the physical world would fill a ton of photo albums, rolodexes, CD/DVD shelves, and file cabinets. A lot of my clients have a hard time letting go of those physical hard copies. To them it is scary to shrink all of this data into a box the size of a notepad, and toss the “real thing.” They take comfort that they can actually feel and know that their memories are safe, just by seeing that the file cabinet, or photo album is there. And they have a point. Without the proper steps, your data can randomly disappear in the blink of an eye. Your computer contains a small part called the hard drive. On laptops it is smaller than a deck of cards. This tiny thing holds everything. Inside there is a disk that spins around and a small needle moves around to read the data. These work magnetically, not using grooves, like a record player, but the idea is the same. Since this is a mechanical part, at some point it will fail. Let me restate that. Every hard drive, ever built, in any device, Mac, PC, desktop, laptop, iPod, will fail. Even the newer computers with the “solid state drives” or SSD (Techno speak for “no moving parts.”) are not infallible. They have a limited amount of times data can be written or read from. When this happens (not if), all the data on the drive will be inaccessible. Stop printing out everything in a panic. You can stop this data Armageddon from happening, and it is quite easy. All you need is a copy of your data in another place. These days there are plenty of ways to accomplish this with minimal effort on your part. With every Mac sold today, Time Machine is included. Time Machine is the easiest, and most powerful way to backup your data. All it requires is an external hard drive. (Around $100.) Once it is set up, your Mac

will backup every hour. It is smart; it only backs up what has changed from the last backed up. It is fast; after the first backup, it only takes a few minutes. And it is easy to use. If your computer’s hard drive dies, when your Mac is repaired or replaced, it asks if you have a time machine backup. Just plug in your drive and in an hour or so your computer looks exactly like it did the last time it backed up. It’s that easy. There are other options as well. You can get a wireless version of the external drive so you don’t need to keep your computer plugged into the backup at all times. There are backup utilities that work for PCs or older Macs, as well as off-site backup solutions that provide an extra layer of security. For instance, If your home is robbed or is burned down, your computer and it’s backup might be gone. An off-site backup will ensure your data is safe. Once you find a setup that works for you and your precious data, you can start living the good, “clutter free” life, like myself. Personally, I hate having hard copies of things. As often as I can, I scan in receipts, buy digital music from the web, and only take digital photos and almost never print them out. I am able to keep anything I could ever need at an arms reach at any time. Need a receipt for that gizmo I bought? It’s on my phone. Want to see a picture of where I proposed to my fiancee in Alaska? Right here on my laptop. Need a phone number of a friend of mine? Not a problem. Do I fear for my data with this lifestyle? No, because I’ve taken steps to prepare for the inevitable. You should too.

Williams initially denied involvement in the robbery series but later admitted driving the getaway car in at least two of the holdups, Brown told the jury. One of the getaway cars belonged to Williams’

girlfriend at the time, the prosecutor said. Inside one of the cars, police found a backpack with $13,266 inside, two guns, pepper spray and masks. Sobel said based on different clothing and varying heights and builds of the robbers caught on surveillance video, the holdups were not done by the same group of men. Co-defendant Tranes Goins, 29, is set to go on trial May 9. Terry Mixon, 25, and Jeremy Gibbs, 23, will be tried later this year.

CV company releases new anti-aging product Dr. Greg Maguire, Paul Franck, and Peter Friedman, founders of BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc., a privately-owned stem cell therapeutics corporation headquartered in Carmel Valley, announced recently the release of BRS’s anti-aging cosmeceutical line of products, including Vital Serum, Eye Serum, and Moisturizing Night Cream. BioRegenerative Sciences’ studies of the cosmeceuticals demonstrated that the three anti-aging products were able to reverse the effects of aging on the appearance of the skin. According to Dr. Greg Maguire, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of BRS, “Vital Serum, Eye Serum, and Moisturizing Night Cream restore the biochemical properties of the skin to a healthy state, and therefore give the skin a much more youthful appearance.” Peter Friedman, CBO of BRS, said that “BRS’s new cosmeceutical line is an easily applied topical group of products that replaces in the skin what was present in the normal, healthy tissue.” Dr. Rita Friedman, a member of the Scientific Advisory Board, also added, “Vital Serum uses BRS’s patented core technology, known as S2RM TechnologyTM where stem cell released molecules from multiple stem cell types are used to formulate the products.” Debra McCarthy, R.N, another member of the Scientific Advisory Board, further stated that “the molecules comprising the S2RM TechnologyTM replace the multitude of molecules that have been lost in the skin due to aging, and even women who use Botox experience a dramatic improvement in their skin, and find that they use Botox less often.” Vital Serum, Eye Serum, and Moisturizing Night Cream can be purchased online at: www.bioregenerativesciences.com.

Support ‘Coast & Canyons’ redistricting plan By now you have heard about the city’s 2010 Redistricting Commission. Its task is to re-evaluate the city council districts in light of the 2010 census and to include an additional council district (the 9th). CD1 was the fastest growing in the city and is now significantly in excess of the 2010 target for each district (199,000 versus 144,000).

Changes to the current CD1 will be significant and the Commission is asking us to weigh in with our thoughts for the new CD1. Other groups in the city are proposing their own vision for redistricting the city. We recognize their good efforts; however, we don’t want our portion of the city to be backed into a new district cob-

bled together with the leftovers from other proposals! Some of your community leaders have developed a template for the new CD1 that we call the “Coast & Canyons Plan.” A growing number of community organizations are endorsing it. The new CD1 would include the communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar Mesa, Fair-

banks Country Club, Flower Hill, La Jolla, Pacific Highlands Ranch, Torrey Pines, Torrey Hills and University City. This is essentially the old CD1 except that Rancho Penasquitos, Black Mountain Ranch and Torrey Highlands would shift to an inland district. The proposal also returns portions of University City and La Jolla to CD1.

There are compelling reasons why this proposal is as good for the current constituents of CD1 as well as the city; further, the proposal exceeds the requirements of the City Charter. Please send your support for the Coast & Canyons Plan to redistricting_2010@sandiego.gov. Better yet, join us at the Commission’s May 11

meeting (La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave, 6 p.m.) to request adoption of our plan. Joe LaCava La Jolla Mr. LaCava is the former president of the La Jolla community planning group and the Bird Rock Community Council. He can be reached at joe@avetterra. com.

District One update: Redistricting, budget, Flower Hill By Sherri Lightner, District One City Council member This is a pivotal time that will shape San Diego politics for years to come. SHERRI Every 10 years, city council disLIGHTNER trict boundaries District One city are redrawn based council member on the latest census data by a Redistricting Commission made up of San Diego citizens. This year, the Redistricting Commission will also create a new Ninth Council District, which voters approved along with the Strong Mayor form of government in 2010. The Redistricting Commission is holding hearings to gather public input on future council district boundaries. Residents of Council Dis-

trict One are strongly encouraged to attend the upcoming hearing on Wednesday, May 11, at 6 p.m. at the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Avenue, to speak out and ensure our community’s interests are respected with the drawing of the new district boundaries. For more information on redistricting, please visit www.sandiego.gov/redistricting. Meanwhile, the hearings for the City’s Fiscal Year 2012 budget are fast approaching. The Mayor recently released his proposal, and I will be working to reduce negative impacts to neighborhoods before the final budget is approved in June. Many of us value our rec. centers and libraries dearly, and preserving their hours of operation is a priority, along with protecting public safety and restoring browned-out fire engines. Additional information about the budget is available on my website, www.sandiego.gov/cd1. If you have

ideas, suggestions, or comments on other alternatives for closing the City’s budget gap, please let me know. Finally, I am pleased to report that last week, City Council unanimously approved the expansion of the Flower Hill Promenade. The Flower Hill Promenade has had a long history in the North City area, dating back 35 years. This revitalization is a necessary step to update this promenade and bring it in character with the community’s standards. This project has been heard by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and its Regional Issue Subcommittee six times over the span of the past six years, and the community worked diligently with the developer to come up with a project that would fit the needs of the area. Flower Hill’s renovation will bring revenue to the city, create jobs and provide long-awaited improvements to the shopping center.

Population trends favor Democrats The 2010 Census will confirm that our state, our county, and our communities are in the process of an epochal demographic transformation with profound political implications. GORDON Ten years ago, CLANTON California’s Hispanic ONE VIEW population was 32 percent. Today it is 38 percent. Three Californians in five are now ethnic minorities. San Diego County is about onethird Hispanic. Asians and Pacific Islanders account for 11 percent. Ten years ago, the most common surname among San Diego County homebuyers was Smith, and eight of the top 15 names were Hispanic or Asian. Today the most common name is Nguyen, and 11 of the top 15 are Hispanic or Asian. Taking into account African Americans (about 7 percent), indigenous populations and refugees, San Diego is

a county in which “minorities” collectively comprise a majority of the population. This demographic milestone was reached by California a decade ago. It will be reached by the nation a few decades from now. Meanwhile, about 80 percent of top elected officials in San Diego County are white. We are not surprised to learn that National City is 63 percent or that Chula Vista is 51 percent Hispanic. But did you know that Escondido is 46 percent and Vista 44 percent Hispanic? Hispanics now outnumber whites in Escondido, the city that in 2006 tried to enact an ordinance that would have punished landlords for renting to illegal immigrants, the city that conducts driver’s license checkpoints that allegedly target Hispanics. At 5 percent, Del Mar has the smallest Hispanic population in the county. Encinitas is 18 percent and Solana Beach 19 percent Hispanic. Del Mar is the whitest city in the county at 85 percent – whiter than Santee (77 percent), Carlsbad (76), Encinitas and Coronado (74), and Solana

Beach (73). Income correlates with ethnicity. Countywide, median family income is about $35,000 for Hispanics, $48,000 for blacks, and $87,000 for whites. Nationwide, Hispanics favor Democrats over Republicans by almost two to one, as do recently naturalized immigrants by about 60/40. Young voters also break 60/40 for the Democrats. In San Diego County, more than 600,000 people who are eligible to vote are not registered. Another 300,000 are registered but do not vote. Another 150,000 immigrants are eligible to naturalize. Another 50,000 will turn 18 in the next two years. In all, a potential new electorate of more than one million is emerging. In a statewide context, San Diego is a swing county in which Republicans are 36.3 percent and Democrats 36.1 percent of the registered voters. Stay tuned.

CV Dons Spring Tackle Team off to 4-0 start The Carmel Valley Dons Spring 8 Tackle Football 3rd-4th grade team has started its season with an impressive four-game winning streak. In a recent game against the Inland Valley White team (3-0 at that time), the Dons players demonstrated a strong defensive show, allowing no first downs. Outstanding linebacker play by Zackary Thorn (19), AJ Gustaveson (5), and Jack Foate (20) held the Inland Valley team to negative yards. First year starting cornerback Colin Wayland (8) added, “We got such good penetration from the beasts on our defensive line, Justin Vilchis (28) and Logan Berzins (11) made it all possible.” On offense, outstanding blocking by Leo Silverman (32), Mark Lindgren (14), and Troy Manzano (18) enabled the 3-4th grade team to score three touchdowns led by first-year quarterback Lucas Corbosiero (1) and running back Chaz Talman (15). The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football League was formed in 2010 to create a highly competitive Division 1 Youth Football Program in the Carmel Valley area to prepare top athletes for high school football. The League’s home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) and players proudly wear the colors of CCHS. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, much of the team’s first year success can be attributed to the support of Cathedral’s varsity head coach Sean Doyle and athletic director David Smola. For information about the League, visit www.cvdons.com. Fall registration is now open for boys ages 5-14.

Their creations certainly look high school level, especially the well-done portraits of Albert Einstein (“they love that one because of the hair,” she says) and Georgia O’Keefe. “Right now I’m working on my portrait of Einstein. I’ve only done half of the hair on his head so he looks like a rap singer,” said fifth grader Drake Taylor. “Mostly we learn how to draw people more life-like and she teaches us about the mistakes most people make like drawing the shoulders too wide or the nose too small.” Projects often reflect what the children are learning in other subject areas.

Her photo holder project is a recycled art project, made from empty glue sticks. “I just got tired of all the glue sticks I was throwing out,” said Weinberg, who thought about coating them with plaster and allowing students’ big imaginations to run wild—photo holders were made as everything from pianos to penguins. Weinberg sees 19 classes a week, students come in for art class once a week for a 45- minute session where they’re able to create. “I don’t know that there’s as much art in the classrooms anymore so it’s a way for them to get that really special piece of their education,” said Weinberg. “Hopefully it’s a program that won’t go away…(Art) is a confidence builder, I find something good in every single kid’s piece of artwork.”

Mustangs U16 team advances in So. Cal Playoffs The No. 1 ranked San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club U16 team dispatched Santa Clarita Valley, 48-0, in the quarterfinals of the Southern California Rugby Union Youth League Tournament on April 16 at Cathedral Catholic High School. The Mustangs now face Fullerton Youth Rugby Club in the semi-finals on Saturday, April 30, on the lower field at Cathedral Catholic. In the quarterfinal match against the SCV Tigers, Prop Joey Kuperman and backrow player Cameron Dale dominated in the forwards for the Mustangs, while Flyhalf Billy Maggs, and outside center Jaxon McAllister kept SCV off-balance. McAllister’s tackle of a Santa Clarita player in the Try Zone in the first minute of play lead to the Mustangs’ first score. Openside Flanker Jonathan Raby had several strong runs that broke down the Santa Clarita Defense, and allowed him to pass the ball to wide open ‘mates. Left Wing Alex Lindsey had three trys in the first half for the Mustangs to lead the scoring. Derek Lipincyzk, playing the

Lock position, stole the ball on a Santa Clarita throw-in late in the game and bulled his way in for a score. Fittingly, the game ended with a long, weaving Raby run up the left side, and then a deft pass to McAllister who scored the final try for the Mustangs. The U16 Mustangs were undefeated in league play this Spring to earn the Number One seed in the Tournament. The Mustangs Club draws players from over half-a-dozen local high schools (Torrey Pines, Cathedral, Canyon Crest, La Jolla, San Dieguito Academy, La Costa Canyon and others). Coached throughout by Ramon Samaniego, this group of players won the Southern California Championship as U16 players in 2010, and several of these same players were Southern California Champions, as U14 players in 2009. For more information, visit the Mustangs website: www.sandiegoyouthrugby. org, or the Southern California Youth Rugby website, www.socalyouthrugby.org, which also includes high school league standings.

Bumper To Bumper Readers: I had a loyal reader by the name of Ron e-mail the paper with concerns about my advice to Carl concerning his tire pressure (issue 4/21). Ron felt that I was giving out dangerous advice concerning Dave Stall inflation. I had stated that to get the correct tire pressure for your tires, you should get the inflation information from the side wall of the tire — if it reads 40 pounds, you should put in 35. I did mention a few pounds, but I should have said five pounds. Ron based his assumption on a relative who sustained abdominal injuries due to an over-inflated tire, which I was very sorry to hear. It just so happens I was at Auto Club Speedway last Sunday for a race and had the opportunity to interview a tire representative. I asked him if the advice I gave out in the paper was incorrect. He stated that I was right on the money. In fact, he said that if you are hauling a big load, you need to put your tire pressure at the maximum level found on the sidewall of your tires. You should check the tires cold and inflate them when they are cold. Remember, tires gain and lose air over time and if not inspected and inflated to the correct pressure, the tires will lose pressure and get very hot, then blow out. I am sticking to my original suggestion of keeping the tires five pounds under what the tire manufacturer recommends, not what is found in either the owners manual or on the door jam. Q. Pat: I have a problem with people who drive with their high beams on — not the ones coming towards you, but the drivers

!

who come up behind you with their high beams on. Is there something you can do to let the jerk know he has his high beams on and is very annoying? Thanks for all your advice. A. Dave: I am not aware of anything you could buy that would alert the driver behind you that his or her high beams are on. I have been told if you adjust your rear view mirror just right, the glare goes right back into the car behind you and blinds the driver who is blinding you. I have never tried it — and I wouldn’t. What I do is slow down by just letting off the gas pedal. Pretty soon, the person who is being rude will pass you out of disgust because you are going too slow. Don’t hit the brakes — just let off the gas pedal slightly. Q. Karla: I just moved to San Diego from Yuma, Arizona, and found out from a very nice police officer that the tint on my driver and passenger windows are illegally tinted. I told him that I just moved from Arizona — so he just gave me a warning. Do I have to remove the tint? He did say if I had a doctor’s excuse that may help, but I don’t know any doctors in San Diego who could write me a note. What would you suggest? My brother reads your column every week. I haven’t seen it as of yet, so I hope you call me with the answer otherwise I’ll have to wait for my brother to let me know! A. Dave: Welcome to San Diego! Now go remove your window tint! I would never try to find a doctor to fake an excuse — bad karma. You will find driving at night with untinted windows is a blessing in disguise. Your visibility is better and you become a safer driver. Plus, it doesn’t get as hot here as in Arizona so no need for tint!

Walter Oliver with his daughter Natalee.

Air Force master sergeant finds home, family in SB Solana Beach resident Walter Oliver has spent a lifetime serving his country in the U.S. Air Force, a career that took him across the nation. Now the retired U.S. Air Force master sergeant has returned home to sunny Southern California, where he dedicates his days to helping to raise his five children and serving the community in his rare free time. After graduating from San Diego High School in 1975, Oliver earned a degree in banking and finance from San Diego City College. He joined the Air Force in 1980, serving in Alaska, California, Nebraska, South Korea, and Washington D.C. His last assignment was working in the Air Force’s Budget Office in the Pentagon, where he met his partner, Dave Roberts, a Solana Beach councilman. In 1995, he graduated from Strayer University in Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in business management. In 2000, he retired and moved to Solana Beach to join Roberts. Now he manages the Sandpiper Point condo complex in Encinitas. Oliver and Roberts have been involved with the San Diego County’s Foster Care program for a number of years and are now the proud parents of five children: Robert, 15; Alex, 10; Julian, 7; Joe, 3; and Natalee, 2. Oliver is also a member of the Solana Beach Friends of the Library, Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, Solana Beach PTA, and a charter member of the Del Sol Lions Club. 1. What brought you to this neighborhood? When I retired from the Air Force after 20 years of service, my partner was living here and I moved here to join him.

Writer gaining international readership as ‘chick lit’ e-Author BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor Dee DeTarsio, a former TV producer/writer, is convinced that life (i.e. “the universe”) gives us “clues” every once in awhile on how to proceed. “Sometimes things happen that direct you to a certain path.” Take the time, about eight months ago, when, after laboring for 10 years writing women’s ‘chick lit’ fiction novels that never found a publisher, suddenly her agent, actually her third agent, became a recession casualty and lost her job. DeTarsio, mother of two college-age children, had written some seven novels, had lots of encouragement along the way, but no sales — and now, no agent. How’s that for a “clue!” “I was devastated,” she recalls, “and went into a real funk.” That’s when her husband, a television director of photography and practical guy, suggested, “Get it on Amazon.” He had bought DeTarsio a Kindle, the portable e-book reader, for Christmas a few years back, but she knew virtually nothing about the intricacies of e-publishing, and then there was this “stigma” she felt about self-publishing. She thought about it and finally, like one of those damsels in distress in her novels, she “took matters into my own hands and joined the digital revolution.” “There still is kind of a stigma about e-publishing and self-publishing,” she admits, “but I decided, ‘I’m gonna do it.’ And I’m so glad I did. “No one read my books before and now I have 10,000 people who have read my books — two novels and a novella published already and three more novels on deck and ready to go.” Her first Amazon Kindle novel, “The Scent of Jade,” priced at $2.99, published last October, is a quirky action-adventure that follows a woman lost in the Costa Rican rainforest with an ancient idol

that may hold secrets to global warming — a sort of a combination of “Romancing the Stone” meets “Survivor.” The idea of writing an action-adventure chick-lit was triggered, she said, by an observation made by her husband. “He’s a really great editor,” she said. She reads her manuscripts to him at night when they are in bed. One night, he said, “Boy, women sure do think a lot. Can’t you blow something up or kill somebody.” Good idea, she thought, for her, a departure from traditional chick lit. “Women are good multi-taskers. We can have deep thoughts even while we’re on the run with a jade monkey in the jungle. That novel was so much fun to write.” She is currently working on a screenplay adaptation of “The Scent of Jade.” To spur on the marketing, she added a novella, at the almost give-away price of 99 cents, “Til Somebody Loves You,” a chick lit set in

Quilters donate ‘hugs’ to warm patients in Alzheimer’s study BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor What’s a quilter to do when her family and friends have all the quilts they need? In the case of Jeffree Itrich, a UCSD communications specialist with the Department of Neurosciences’ Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study, you use the quilts for a good cause. Itrich, who lost her mother to severe dementia, set out to create a quilt donation program for the patients in the Alzheimer’s study in January 2010. By that September, when news of the donation program appeared in the AARP Bulletin, Itrich had received 100 or so quilts. The AARP interviewer (a quilter with whom Itrich formed a fast friendship) warned Itrich that her life would change after the article published, and change it did. “The first day after the AARP piece, I received 40 emails. I recruited a part-time student and part-time administrative worker in addition to another full-time employee to

Want to help? Contact: Jeffree Itrich, Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study, University of California San Diego, 8950 Villa La Jolla Dr., Ste. C-227, La Jolla, CA 920371712 E-mail: Adcs-quilts@ ucsd.edu Phone: (858) 677-1565 help me process all the calls and e-mails, and I eventually handed that part of the project over to them,” Itrich said. Although the momentum has since slowed, the project’s e-mail address still receives daily messages. “It goes in waves, but we get 10-20 quilts a week on average,” Itrich said, before looking into her database to find out the exact number. As of April 12, 2011: 820 quilts were donated for the patients in the study (a collaboration between UCSD and the National Institute on Aging). Itrich unearths a folder

bursting with letters from quilters and patients alike. Leafing through the stack, she pulls out a four-page letter from a quilter and several notes from study participants’ family members. (Some of the quilts come with labels on them and Itrich keeps a detailed log so recipients can communicate their gratitude if they wish.) She doesn’t know who gets the quilts — their information is protected by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) — but the project has sparked communication between those coping with Alzheimer’s. “As a quilter, I know what quilts do for people. A quilt is like a hug,” said Itrich, adding that many of the quilters have been holding onto grief from experiencing Alzheimer’s in their family’s own lives. “In many cases, they have been grieving for years. By quilting to cheer up participants of Alzheimer’s research studies around the country, they can be a small part of the cure. Participating is kind of a catharsis for them.”

Itrich said that the quilts also give people a way to express their appreciation to those participating in the study, which requires a neurosurgical procedure. Doctors open the brain to deliver nerve growth factor directly into the portion of brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease. (Read more details at http:// adcs.org/Studies/NGF.aspx) “When I first brought up the donation program to the research study’s director, she thought I lost my mind! ‘Where would you get all of the quilts?’ she asked. But I know how generous quilters are.” In the beginning, she tried to limit the donations to traditional quilts, but has since abandoned that rule. Her office is packed with quilts of all shapes, sizes and colors, ranging from handstitched and hand-tied to machine-stitched quilts. “Alzheimer’s clinics are notoriously cold. The need for quilts wanes in the summer months and picks back up again once temperatures cool down,” she said. Since

Jeffree (her parents were expecting a third son) Itrich in her office surrounded by quilts ready to be sent to patients in the Alzheimer’s study. both women and men participate in the study, she makes sure there are quilts featuring golf memorabilia, Mack trucks, John Deere tractors, musical notes, and even outer space images! When will there be enough quilts? According to Itrich, only when there is a

cure for Alzheimer’s. “The quilts comfort in ways we can’t imagine and the research will continue until the disease can be stopped or reversed,” she said, before handing her assistant another batch of vibrantly colored quilts to brighten the lives of participants involved in the study.

It’s the menu and music that makes Zel’s Del Mar a hometown favorite BY KELLEY CARLSON or an evening of food, drink and live music, take note of Zel’s Del Mar. Owners Greg Glassman and Jennifer Powers opened this coastal restaurant/bar in summer 2009, named after Glassman’s grandfather Zel Camiel, a Polish immigrant who was well-known in the Del Mar community and held the title of “unofficial mayor.” “Our vision was to create a neighborhood eatery where friends and family feel welcome and relaxed,” Glassman said in a news release. Entertainment is offered Thursday through Saturday nights, from acoustic jazz and blues to up-andcoming singers/songwriters. Most performances start around 7:30 p.m. in the bar. Guests can listen to the tunes from anywhere in Zel’s — the main dining area and patio are both adjacent to the bar. The main dining area is covered, yet well-ventilated; large windows allow for people-watching along Camino del Mar. On the dog-friendly, open-air patio, customers can enjoy the views as a fire pit crackles in the center. In the warm-hued, softly lit bar, patrons can sit on the bar stools or choose from several tables and watch TV. A full menu is served in all areas

Patrons can start with an appetizer such as the Fish Trio (ahi poke, smoked salmon tartare and ceviche) or Fried Calamari, or select from several types of salads. Zel’s specializes in flatbreads, and there are a handful of house-made flatbread pizzas from which to choose, including Grilled Chicken, Eggplant and Margherita. Entrees range from the Brandt Beef Bar Burger to Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon. Powers cites the burger and flatbreads as her favorite dishes; Glassman leans toward the fresh fish entrees. Children’s menus are also available. For dessert, there are choices, such as a White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Bourbon Caramel Sauce. Zel’s has a full bar, including about 30 bottles of wine and a

selection of craft beers picked by Glassman. One of the brews on tap is Sculpin, which Glassman said is difficult to find in the area. Specials are available several nights each week: burger and a beer are $10 on Mondays; “Flat Tuesdays” offer half-price on all flatbreads; and bottles of wine are half-price on Wednesdays. Happy hour runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. daily. For guests who prefer to dine earlier in the day, Zel’s opens its doors from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the weekends, serving breakfast and lunch. Hours will change beginning Memorial Day weekend, as the eatery will be open daily for lunch. Zel’s will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to close on weekdays, and from 8:30 a.m. to close on weekends. Glassman said reservations are recommended, especially during weekend nights and in the summer — the restaurant can accommodate up to 80 people. However, reservations are not needed in the bar. To have a great experience, Glassman suggests “coming in and having a great dinner, hang on to hear live music at a place within walking distance to the ocean, and have a few nice cocktails or a bottle of wine.”

Del Sol Lions Club to celebrate Mardi Gras for a good cause BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer The Del Sol Lions Club is inviting the community to join in a Mardi Grasthemed celebration on Saturday, May 14, complete with live entertainment, casino games, a silent auction, and dinner — all to raise money for two worthy local charities. The first annual fundraiser at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club will benefit Reality Changers, a nonprofit that helps disadvantaged youth become first-generation college students; and Saint Leo’s medical and dentals clinics, a volunteer-run operation that provides care to patients in extreme financial need. Both of these organizations were selected because they align with the Del Sol Lion’s goal of helping local disadvantaged

youth and families at risk. “Teens completing Reality Changers are tomorrow’s success stories,” said Maria McEneany, a co-chair for the event. “They have demonstrated a lowered high school dropout rate, increased college graduation rates, defied local homicide rates, broken the cycle of incarceration, decreased teenage pregnancy, and have no involvement with drugs or alcohol.” “Learning there is a lengthy waiting list for the Solana Beach Reality Changer Program and with concern over local youth drug and gang involvement, Reality Changers was chosen to provide atrisk teens the opportunity to participate in this program realizing they are our future leaders,” added Roz Hodgins, the other co-chair

for this event. Though Saint Leo’s medical and dental clinics have a different mission, they are equally deserving of community support, added Del Sol Lions program director Linette Page. “We selected the clinics recognizing they are in immediate need of costly equipment, medications, professional volunteers, specialists, and the ongoing support of Del Sol Lions as they service over 5,000 patients annually,” she said. “St. Leo’s Medical and Dental Clinics, through an all volunteer team of doctors, dentists, and medical professionals, provide comprehensive medical and dental services to the poorest of the working poor without insurance, who, except for emergencies, would be unable to obtain such services,” said Deacon Al Graff, one of three clinic founders. Both of these charities depend heavily upon support from the outside sources, and during the May 14 gala, the community will

have a chance to give back to them in a big way. The festivities kick off with a 6 p.m. silent auction, which includes appetizers and a complimentary glass of champagne that patrons can enjoy while browsing the more than $15,000-worth of items up for bid, including: dinner for eight in the VIP room of Tommy V’s; diamond earrings from the Diamond Boutique; golf lessons and a round at Lomas Santa Fe County Club; passes to the Turf Club; a day of sailing for four; and weekend getaways at Viceroy Hotels, Del Mar Hilton, Carmel Valley Dou-

ble Tree, and L’Auberge — all prizes that will be auctionedoff to raise money for the beneficiary charities. After the auction there will be dinner with a complimentary wine pour and the “Fund-a-Need” portion of the evening where patrons can donate toward specific items the beneficiary charities need. Each charity has put together a “wish list” that highlights basic needs, so, for example, if the St. Leo’s Medical Clinic needs a blood-pressure cuff, someone can donate specifically toward that. This will also be the time when the audience can learn more about each organization and hear from youths who have been through the Reality Changers program, and the volunteers who run Saint Leo’s medical and dental clinics. That will be followed by a Capoiera dance performance, and after that, patrons will be given $250-worth of play money for the on-sight casino room, where they enjoy poker, black jack, roulette, and craps. Patrons can also

buy more play money, which also benefits the charities. At the end of the evening they can turn in that play money for chips, which can then be exchanged for raffle tickets for prizes. Tickets to this event can be purchased for $125 per individual, or $1,000 for a table of 10. That ticket price includes appetizers and a glass of champagne, dinner and a wine pour, live entertainment, $250-worth of casino play money, and a fresh water pearl necklace from the Diamond Boutique. Because the event is Mardi Gras-themed, masks and beads are encouraged. The Del Sol Lions are still in need of sponsors for this event, with sponsorships ranging from $500 to $20,000. To purchase tickets or become an event sponsor, please email Maria McEneany at mdmceneany@aol. com or call her at 858-7592620. For more information, visit www.e-clubhouse.org/ sites/delsol/

Physician/writer scores big with his epic first novel Editor’s note: Stanford University professor of medicine Dr. Abraham Verghese, author of two memoirs and the best-selling novel, “Cutting for Stone,” was the guest speaker at the April 19 luncheon of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society at The Grand Del Mar. The luncheon series is sponsored by Northern Trust, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and this newspaper. The next and final luncheon of the 2010-2011 series on May 12 will feature Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Michael Cunningham and his latest book, “By Nightfall.”

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor For working physician Abraham Verghese, what began simply as an image he had in his mind of a young beautiful missionary nun giving birth to a child in a convent far away from her home, was transformed over a period of eight years into an extraordinary 534-page epic first novel, “Cutting for Stone,” that has climbed steadily up the bestseller charts since it was published 27 months ago. “And for those of you involved in writing a novel,” Verghese told an overflow audience at the April 19 luncheon of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, “I hope you have a hell of a lot more to go on than that.” But for Dr. Verghese (pronounced: ‘Ver-geese’), that trial-and-error approach was the way he chose to “push forward” in order to create what has become a cast of memorable characters in a story spanning decades and generations from India, to Ethiopia, to an inner-city hospital in New York City. The narrator, who begins his story in the womb, is the first-born of identical twin boys, born by Caesarian to a nun in a mission hospital in Ethiopia, abandoned by the

English surgeon suspected of being their father, and adopted by an Indian couple, both physicians, who worked at the mission hospital. The story tracks the lives of the twins, both who become doctors, as they grow to manhood with dramatically different personalities through times of political turmoil in Ethiopia while haunted by the nagging questions about their mother, Sister Mary Joseph Praise, who died birthing the twins, and the man thought to be their father, the brilliant surgeon Dr. Thomas Stone. “Cutting for Stone,” a title derived from the physicians’ Hippocratic Oath, has been optioned for a movie by Anonymous Content, the producers of the much-acclaimed films, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Babel.” As for Verghese, well, he’s continuing his day job as a physician while enjoying time off from writing before hunkering down for possibly another marathon effort to create another novel, “unless a compelling non-fiction story comes to mind.” In the meantime, he writes the occasional op-ed or book review. We interviewed Verghese in the library of The Grand Del Mar prior to his luncheon talk. Verghese, 55, is a clinician at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, a professor for the theory and practice of medicine, and senior associate chair of the department of internal medicine. He was born in Ethiopia in 1955 of Indian parents who had been hired by Emperor Haile Selassie as teachers to work in a school near the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. When Selassie was deposed in 1974, Verghese brief-

ly joined his parents who had moved to the U.S. and where he worked as an orderly before going to India to earn his medical degree at Madras Medical College in 1979 and complete his internship. Returning to America for his residency, he discovered only the less popular hospitals and communities were willing to accept foreign medical graduates, an experience he details in an early New Yorker magazine article, “The Cowpath to America,” and later in his first best-selling memoir, “My Own Country: A Doctor’s Story.” He did his residency (1980-83) at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee, followed by a fellowship in infectious disease at Boston University School of Medicine. While working at Boston City Hospital for two years, he witnessed the beginning of the

urban epidemic of HIV in that city. Returning to Johnson City (population: 50,000), as a tenured assistant professor of medicine, he soon found himself involved in his sec-

ond AIDS epidemic but now in a rural setting. It was thought that he might have one or two patients a year in Johnson City afflicted with the deadly virus, but to everyone’s surprise, he found himself with more than 100 patients at a time when there were no known effective treatments for AIDS except words of comfort. He discovered that many young gay men who earlier had fled the confines and judgmental prejudices of their small hometowns for a freer life in the big cities were returning to their hometowns and families to die as terminal AIDS patients. Verghese wrote a scientific paper on the phenomenon of the AIDS epidemic in a small town, but he felt there was a better way to tell the whole story and its effects on the patients, their families, their caretakers and the doctors who tried to help them. “I felt my scientific paper didn’t begin to capture the whole dimension of it,” he said. “That’s when I took myself more seriously as a writer and wanted to tell the story of HIV as I lived

through it.” After working with HIV in Tennessee, he recalled, “I was burnt out. I told myself I needed a break otherwise I would not survive. And I decided to take a sabbatical of some sort, some how.” He discovered that the only criteria needed for admission to the prestigious Iowa Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa were two short stories. “I sent them in and they took me and I went,” he said. He was in his mid-30s at the time. “It was a big leap of faith because I cashed in my tenure and retirement plan, and took my young family there.” While at Iowa, he worked one day a week at an HIV clinic to help with his expenses and to keep his sense of bearing “because I see myself fundamentally as a physician and that’s how I view the world.” “The writers workshop itself, you’ll be surprised to learn,” he said, “only meets one day a week,” to discuss and critique the participants’ two submitted short stories. The remainder of his year-

UCSD duo’s book suggests ways to close job gap BY KATHY DAY STFF WRITER Put two educators who develop programs for extended learning in a room with an economist who studies technology and innovation, and you’re bound to generate interesting discussion. In one particular case, the discussion evolved into the book: “Closing America’s Job Gap: How to Grow Companies and Land Good Jobs in the Age of Innovation.” Its authors are Mary Walshok, UCSD’s associate vice chancellor for public programs and dean of the University Extension program; Henry DeVries, UCSD assistant dean of Extension, and Tapan Munroe, an economist who specializes in environmental economics and analysis of the hightech industry. Walshok said she was getting ready to write a book about innovation and in talking with DeVres and with inspiration from Munroe, they decided that innovation alone wasn’t the right topic.

She had just returned from Washington, D.C., and talks about the state of the economy when they decided to key in on the fact that “America is not putting people to work,” she said in a recent interview, with DeVries interjecting, “It’s a jobless recovery.” “Too many Americans expect the old jobs to come back,” Walshok said. Instead, they should be looking at “what jobs are there and what job can I create for myself.” As they talked, both said, the book came into focus: How to close the jobs gap. “We built on our knowledge as educators,” she said, looking at retooling, re-skilling and re-educating. “We know that’s going to be essential across all jobs careers.” Instead of thinking just about innovation, they wrote about how technology can change careers. They split the book into two sections. One analyzes the job gap and “the disparity between the good jobs being created by small busines-

innovation in the U.S. and the lack of American workers with the skills to fill these jobs.” The other examines San Diego as a case study, looking at how it has used its universities, entrepreneurial spirit, collaboration and training to build its economy and applies those lessons to the workforce. The San Diego example, they write, shows that if a region is serious “about innovation and job creation” they should bring together the “research community, the entrepreneurs and investors, the economic developers, and the educators and workforce-training organizations.” The work wraps up with an extensive addendum they called “Deeper Reflections on Innovation and Job Creation.” Sixteen sectors are creating jobs today, DeVries said, citing health-information technology, data mining, and Spanish-English translation and interpretation. And in some instances, there is a shortage of qualified employees. He pointed to Northrop Grumman,

which has hundreds of openings in San Diego and Qualcomm, whose founder recently testified before Congrees about the need for visa programs so they can find enough engineers and technical people. The book tells individual stories of people closing the jobs gap. He cited one woman, who had been a trained as teacher. Unable to find a job in education, she took a position as a hotel desk clerk. Startled by the amount of waste the hotel generated, she started a recycling program and found a program offering a certificate in Sustainable Business Practices. After landing an internship in Pasadena with Waste Less Living, she is now a sales consult company, she teaching others – including children – how to reduce waste. The goal of programs that offer specialized training is to help people build a bridge from where they were to where the economy is going, Walshok noted. DeVreis added that their book is not just about training the workers. Em-

ployers, too, need to be aware of the jobs gap and offer time off for training as well as funding to improve and update their employees’ skills. The interviews they have done about the book across the country have reinforced the fact that “everything in America is local,” Walshok said. “If you are going to solve the jobs problem in Toledo, you will have to have a different set of skills than if you are in San Diego.” That points up the fallacy, she added, that we think national policies can solve

the problem. Rather, she added, the national policy “needs to empower the local community.” She said she made that point in an interview on the Bloomberg News Channel in which the other interview subject — speaking from a different locale — was President Obama. “We need government investing from the bottom up, not the top down,” she added, suggesting that funds that “prime the pump” through matching grants and community college programs are ways to leverage the spending. But closer to home, DeVries said people need to take charge of their futures by updating their skills and understanding technology. Employers, he said, “want people who are willing to learn.” A bachelor’s degree, the pair agreed, “is a license to learn for the world of work.” But a specialized certificate these days may be the icing on the cake that sells the employer on the prospective hire’s knowledge of today’s workplace.

Canyon Crest students to perform in Gamelan Festival BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer A truly unique musical experience will take place on the Canyon Crest Academy campus on Friday, April 29, as the school hosts its first Gamelan Festival. The festival, presented in part by the Center for World Music, celebrates Canyon Crest as the first American high school to purchase a full gamelan and gives an opportunity to hear some of the traditional music the students have learned to play from high caliber instruction. “We hope that it’s a success and that it becomes an annual event,” said John Gabriel, executive director of the Center for World Music. “We’re hoping that the community comes out to support this program.” The festival will feature about 75 performers in Javanese, Sudanese and Balinese gamelan groups from California State University San Marcos, San Diego State University, The Museum School, Kembang Sunda, and the Canyon

Canyon Crest students are set to participate in the Gamelan Festival April 29. Crest group. The show will be led by guest Indonesian artists Bapak Ade Suparman and Bapak Djoko Walujo and will showcase performances by Indonesian dancer Didik Nini Thowok. The show starts at 6

p.m. Tickets are $10-$15 and are available at brownpapertickets.com. Bringing a gamelan to Canyon Crest came about last year when the Center for World Music joined forces with CCA to offer the traditional music program

year-round. With support from the CCA Foundation, the school was able to purchase its own gamelan and teacher Anne Whattoff traveled to Indonesia with one of the students to obtain the instruments and learn about the artist who owned it and

its rich history. CCA’s gamelan includes metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs. The set is played together to create its distinct interlocking melodies, music associated with the royal courts of Java. It is also used in the shadow puppet tradition of Indonesia. To teach the student the art of gamelan, CCA and the Center for World Music brought in Bapak Djoko Walujo, arguably the most famous Javanese musician alive, Gabriel said. “This program isn’t about just learning music, it’s about learning about the world by doing what other people do,” said Gabriel. “By studying with a master artist from Java and performing music from Java, the students gain experiential knowledge of what it’s like to be Javanese.” “They are learning from an authentic, credible source,” said Whattoff. When asked why he was interested in participating in gamelan, junior Zak

Auerbach responded, “ Look at it,” gesturing to CCA’s green set accented by ornate gold dragons. “A lot of what I’m involved in with music—rock band, choir, jazz—it’s all very western,” Zak said. “I think there’s something to be said for broadening your horizons and taking something so far removed from what you’re used to. It’s a different way of playing music.” About 20 student musicians like Auerbach have taken part in the afterschool gamelan program. “These kids are really brilliant,” said Gabriel. “It’s very clear that not only are they quick to catch on and learn a new music tradition but they are also aware that this is a very unique opportunity… It’s really amazing what’s going on here.” To purchase tickets, visit brownpapertickets.com and search for Gamelan Festival 2011. Canyon Crest is located at 5951 Village Center Loop Road.

Give wheat the shaft for Celiac Awareness Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor It seems that the peanut allergy of the last decade that made the lowly legume persona non grata in schools, on airplanes, etc. is being supplanted by gluten intolerance. Now this sticky protein found in wheat, rye, barley and “contaminated” oats is taboo for those with gluten guts. Thousands of food companies, restaurants, supermarkets, and online sites are jumping on the glutenfree bandwagon to make these products accessible and palatable for those who need to give wheat and other grains the shaft to stay healthy and feel good. During Celiac Awareness Month in May, I will focus on solutions to this swelling problem. According to Cynthia Kupper, director of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG), “gluten intolerance is an umbrella term for Celiacs and those with non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, a syndrome

that affects about 1 in 100 people.” The former is a more serious condition where the culprit destroys the intestinal villi (hair-like structures that push food to its next digestive stage) and hampers nutrient absorption that can lead to malnutrition, anemia and osteoporosis. The latter does not pose a risk, but affects the quality of life with such symptoms as gluten migraines, ataxia or balance problems, gastrointestinal discomfort or just feeling run down. Kupper’s GIG has launched a pair of gluten awareness events: The Chef to Plate grassroots campaign dovetailed by the Gluten Free Challenge. The Chef to Plate takes place in May to enlist the support of some 1,600 restaurants coast-to-coast to help spread the word about intolerance by offering gluten-friendly menu items and table tents to inform and enlighten diners of these delicious new options. For The Gluten-Free Challenge, GIG has partnered with Pamela’s Products for a month-long recipe fest that culminates in a gluten-free weekend May 21-22 where family and friends gather in solidarity, exploring and enjoying two whole days of delicious gluten-free dishes. Sign up by sending an e-mail to: gogf-

Spicy braised kale with sesame seeds (COURTESY PHOTO) challenge.com Pamela Giusto-Sorrells, founder/president of Pamela’s Products, has been a proponent of gluten-free products for two decades, and is a third generation natural food purveyor. Pamela’s Products includes a versatile baking mix for waffles, savory crepes and pancakes, traditional and organic cookies and cheesecakes. Her role in the Gluten Free Challenge is to provide a daily recipe

along with tips for entertaining, eating out, and preparing wonderful meals at home that are “emotionally and physically satisfying to both gluten and non-gluten intolerants.” Today a diagnosis of the condition is no longer a culinary obstacle. “There are so many foods that are naturally gluten-free,” said Kupper, including, potatoes, soy, alternative grains like quinoa, buckwheat, sorghum, and amaranth, eggs, cheese and other choice proteins. Corn and rice are riskfree, too, even though they contain a gluten derivative. Wines are usually glutenfree, but flavored wines might contain that offensive protein along with coolers that are malt beverages. With distilled alcohol, even though they are derived from grains, the gluten molecule does not vaporize with the ethanol making hard liquors like vodka, whiskey, scotch, gin

and tequila Celiac safe. Beverages like ale, lager, pilsner and stout, on the other hand, are made from fermented barley and hops, so beer is banned from the intolerant diet. Take heart and seek out malted sorghum beers like Bard’s for whetting your whistle at the ballpark. Dining out is also becoming less stressful restaurants are featuring expanded gluten-free menu items from soups, salads, tapas and wraps to wood-fired pizzas, pastas and ethnic dishes, along with cakes, torts and other goodies. Some popular eateries that are serving these include Chili’s, Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza, Melting Pot, Macaroni Grill, P.F. Chang’s, Chipotle and Outback Steakhouse. Gluten-free for All Spicy Braised Kale with Sesame Seeds

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or clarified butter 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 bunch kale Juice from a small lemon 1/2 cup vegetable stock 1 tablespoon glutenfree Tamari Sauce Pinch of cayenne pepper and ginger powder 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds Directions: In a skillet heat oil on low and sauté the onions and garlic until tender. Add kale, broth, seasonings and cover, simmering until tender. Toss with lemon juice and sesame seeds and serve over quinoa, brown or jasmine rice.

Christopher Estrella, of CStarproductionz, is back in action and planning his most excitng event of the year: “Thriller” on June 25 at the San Diego Fair. He invites all former zombies, and wanna-be zombies, to come join the fun. Learn the moves for the event at his free classes, which are offered throughout the city, including Fletcher Cove Park in Solana Beach on Tuesdays, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. (111 S. Sierra). “Anyone can learn the dance” says Estrella, “ It doesn’t matter what age or dance experience.” Estrella, a trained dancer and choreographer, will also be posting “Thilller” dance lessons on his website so people can practice at home. An added bonus is each performer is given free entrance to the fair. If you cannot make the Thriller at the fair event, Estrella suggests learning the dance anyway so you can join in future events he has planned. Go to his website to find out schedules and locations of free “Thriller” classes taught in your area at www.cstarproductionz.com.

QUESTIONS continued from page 1

2. What makes this town special to you? I really like the small town appeal of Solana Beach along with the special people that live here. It’s kind of like the theme song from the series “Cheers” — “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.” 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area? Traffic. I find the traffic here horrendous. Not just the freeway, but local street traffic. I take my kids to

school and it takes me 45 minutes! I’d like to have traffic fixed — but I don’t know how. 4. Who or what inspires you? My family inspires me. My spouse amazes me with all the things that he does, and he still has time to play two-square with our 7-yearold, play catch with our 10-year-old and our 3-yearold sons, and helps in changing our 2-year old’s diaper, and teaching our 15 ½ year-old to drive. Our sons and our daughter are all respectful (age appropriate of course) and they inspire me to do my best so that they

To place your ad call 800.914.6434 are as proud of me as I am of them. 5. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I am assuming that this would be in addition to my family. I would invite John F. Kennedy, Lady Diana, Mother Theresa, my deceased mother, Lucille Ball, Cher, Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus. 6. Tell us about what you are currently reading. Considering that I have a 2-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son, I am reading “Your Three Year Old” and lots of potty training books. 7. What is your most prized possession? When I was 3 years old, my mother went into the hospital to give birth to my little brother. My father, while he was taking care of me, got me a spoon with Charlie McCarthy on it. Although I lost the original one, my sister and brother found an exact replica and gave it to me for my 40th birthday. 8. What do you do for fun? Whatever the family wants to do or is doing. For example, right now we are in the throes of Little League base-

ball season. Our son Alex is in the Solana Beach Little League “Majors” and Julian is in “AA.” Our weekends are filled with baseball, from one to the other, sometimes two games at the same time in different locations. In my spare time, I like working with the Friends of the Solana Beach Library and the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society. Both of those organizations are filled with outstanding people that I really enjoy sharing my limited spare time with. 9. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. I would have to say that my greatest accomplishment is my family. Without my family, I am nothing. Trying to keep all seven of us (five kids and two parents) together and in the same direction, encouraging each of them to achieve their own individual goals. I am so proud of each of them for each of their accomplishments and I feel that their success is a reflection on me. 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? My philosophy is actually a line from a song by Andrew Lloyd Weber: ”Love Changes Everything.”

and-half at the workshop, was devoted to writing “to discover your voice,� and “catching up� by reading more than a dozen books a week by authors he wanted to study. He earned his master of fine arts degree from the University of Iowa in 1991. His advice to aspiring writers: “Read widely. You have to know what the standard is. Write a lot and remember that the art is in revision.� Although his first two published books were nonfiction memoirs, he knew while studying in Iowa, he wanted eventually to write a novel that would include a missionary hospital and a child’s early introduction to and fascination with medicine. Later came the ideas of conveying the romance of studying medicine, placing the novel in Africa “in a bare bones setting� and “connecting it with America, much in the fashion of my own life.�

Children’s Hospital and later as marketing director of a cosmetic dermatology group, where I got free Botox.� And through all that, she filled hundreds of “sticky notes� with story ideas for her favorite genre, women’s fiction, and even wrote a novel, “which will never see the light of day, but it was fun.� “I write what I like to read, women’s fiction and chick lit, and I’m a ‘happilyever-after’ kind of girl. It’s really hard for me to read sad endings. I feel ripped off.� Two of her favorite authors are Susan Isaacs, one of the early women’s fiction writers, whose characters tend to be funny, smart and mouthy, but can be a damsel in distress and can also save their own day; and Irish writer Marian Keyes, a skillful story-teller with wit and marvelously funny characters. Although her first attempt at a novel was never published, it did result in her getting her first of eventually three agents, which encouraged her to keep on writing, and motivated her to take a writing class at UCSD called ‘Unmuddling the Middle’ taught by author Janice Steinberg. “That was my first exposure of letting people, who were unrelated to me, read my stuff and tell me what they liked and what they didn’t, and it was mortifyUpon completing the program in Iowa, Verghese joined Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in El Paso, Texas, where he remained for 11 years. He began publishing short stories in various magazines, completed his first memoir dealing with his experiences with HIV, and wrote a second memoir, “The Tennis Partner: A Story of Friendship and Loss,� dealing with death of his friend, a medical resident in recovery from drug addiction. In Texas, Verghese also served for five years as the founding director of The Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics at the University of Texas Health Center. His commitment to the patient-centered bedside medicine and his growing reputation as a clinician, teacher and writer, led to his recruitment in late 2007 to Stanford University’s School of Medicine as a tenured professor and associate chair of internal medicine. Verghese lives in Palo Alto. He is married and is in the process of separation and divorce. He has three sons.

ing,� she said. “You’re so vulnerable.� But, she conceded, it was an invaluable way for her to learn and grow as a writer. That writing class then led to her being invited to join a book-writing group that she has been with now for four years and that has helped her in editing her manuscripts. She hired a friend who is a graphic artist and photographer to create covers for her books. (“A dog cover can sink your ship,� she warns.) And she commissioned professionals online in India to format her books so they could be uploaded correctly to Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook. To get her books on Apple’s iPad, she also had to go through one of eight aggregate suppliers. “One of them is called Smashwords, an online book source, and that’s who I used. By publishing myself, through Smashwords, I was able to get on the Apple iBookstore for the iPad, as well as the Sony e-reader, Diesel, Kobo and the Nook. And, of course, you have to pay to have your Website designed. “You want to be as professional and serious-looking to compete with authors with publishing contracts. That’s the goal.� Since last October, she sold 4,000 books through Amazon and 6,000 books through Smashwords. What she loves most about her life as an e-writer is writing. What she likes least is having to self-promote. “It stinks,� she insists, but as an eAuthor, it is absolutely essential, she believes. “Since we don’t have a physical ‘tree book’ to sell, eAuthors have to work extra hard to find a spot on readers’ bookshelves.� No easy job, she said, because “there are millions of me out there,� e-Authors trying to sell their books. “You just have to hope you have a good story to tell and that people find you.� Drawing on her marketing savvy, she has offered giveaways as incentives, free Kindle egift books from Amazon and gift certificates on the Nook, as well as PDF files for people without eReaders. Her e-books are priced between 99 cents and $2.99 per book. She receives a royalty of 35 percent on her 99-cent books and 70 percent on her higher priced books. She is beginning to see some profit. “I’ve made my costs back,� she says happily, “but the villa in Italy still remains a fantasy.�

Mother’s Day Weekend Art and Garden Tour shows ‘Coastal Gems’ The San Dieguito Art Guild is offering its annual Mother’s Day Weekend Art and Garden Tour. The tour will feature eight homes and gardens along the coast from Del Mar to Encinitas. Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8. Homes are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Off Track Gallery is open at 9:30 a.m. for ticket sales. This is a self guided tour. Tickets are $20. Tickets will be sold at the Off Track Gallery, 937 So. Coast Highway 101, Suite C103, (behind St. Tropez) downtown Encinitas, at Art N Soul, 633 South Coast Highway 101, Encintas, and also on-line on the guild website: OffTrackGallery.com. Tickets are also available at each home on the day(s) of the tour. Each home will feature several San Diegutio Art Guild artists and will offer refreshments. All of the homes are in the North San Diego coastal area so are easily accessible in a day. However, tickets are good for both days so guests may re-visit a home or split the tour between the two days. This is a home/garden tour but with a real plus. Each home will feature several guest artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild. All of the art on display will be for sale at prices directly from the artist to you and will include paintings, prints, ceramics, sculpture, glass, textiles, gourds and jewelry. The art offered on this tour is all made by local artists. A portion of the proceeds from this tour will be donated to Sunset High School’s art department.
