RSF School District to hold tech retreat BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District is looking at ways to integrate technology into its curriculum, possibly with the implementation of mobile learning devices such as iPads or tablets for students. To discuss the issue at length, the board of trustees will hold a technology retreat on April 25 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center. The public is allowed to attend and hear the update from Director of Technology Ben Holbert and Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub. In December, the district sent out a parent survey asking their opinions on technology, like iPads, iPod touch, E-readers or other tablets. The survey asked parents about their greatest concerns regarding these kinds of devices (educational value, loss/damage, internet safety, cost) and what they think would be the biggest benefit of them (access to digital learning, more creative, more engaged, collaborate and share with peers or real world experience). The survey asked at what age parents felt their child would be responsible enough to transport a mobile learning device and whether they would prefer to bring students their own devices to school or have the district provide them. At the board’s April 4 meeting, trustee Marti Ritto asked whether improving the school’s website could be part of the technology retreat discussion. In addition to wanting the website to be more user friendly, Ritto said there was more that could be offered online. “We’re not showcasing the wonderful campus we built and the programs we have,” Ritto said.

New guidelines set for RSF field use BY KAREN BILLING As the demand for Rancho Santa Fe’s playing fields has increased, so has the need for better organization for their use. The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Trails and Recreation Committee has come up with new guidelines for field use, approved by the Association board at its April 5 meeting. The past method of issuing field permits for Association facilities was considered inefficient by the committee due to the demand for playing time by a variety of sports leagues and the maintenance requirements to keep fields in good condition. The new guidelines ac-

commodate all of the active leagues in the area, including Rancho Santa Fe Soccer, RSF Little League, RSF Men’s Soccer, RSF Lacrosse and the Rancho Riding Club, which uses the parking lot for shows and events. The guidelines require that the programs have more than 30 percent Association membership. The committee has also recommended that both Richardson and RSF Field be closed in July for restoration work, if needed. The committee has also met with RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney about working together on use of the R. Roger Rowe fields.

Beriker looks forward to pursuits in Idaho, Las Vegas BY KATHY DAY This week, with the expectation that The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe would get new owners (see box at right), longtime managing director Kerman Beriker and The Inn’s internationally-known chef — and Kerman’s son, John Beriker — bid a fond farewell to the community. “I came for two years and stayed for eight,” Kerman said on April 5. Reflecting on his career at The Inn and his 40-plus-year career in the hotel business, the stylish and articulate Beriker said it was time to move on to a new role as an asset manager, hotel consultant and university instructor. He’s heading for two new worlds. One will be Sun Valley, Idaho, where John is planning to open a restaurant and another son, who owns a computer store and business, also lives. The other world is Las Vegas, where Kerman has worked in the past. He will be teaching hospitality classes at the University of NeSee BERIKER, page 24

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Golf Club debt reduction clarified Volunteers needed for Community Emergency Response teams BY KAREN BILLING After last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting left many confused as to the actual terms and implications of the Rancho Santa Fe Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loan to the RSF Golf Club, the item came back before the board for clarification on April 5. The Association approved a loan of up to $1,650,000 at a 2 percent fixed rate for a five-year term. The golf club would pay a fixed monthly payment of $15,182 for five years and the allocation of any surplus debt service funds would be applied at the discretion of the golf club board to retire any of the existing golf club debt. The changes took out a five-year balloon and allowed the golf club the flexibility to decide where to apply the surplus. In order to complete the golf clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubhouse renovation in 2006, an

$11,883,000 project, the club took out two loans. The first was for $6 million and provided the bulk of the renovation funds. The required monthly amortizing payment on the loan is $31,757 and a balance of $5,462,85 million exists as of Feb. 1. The second loan covered the balance of the project and was converted to a term loan in 2009 in the amount of $2,148,418. The monthly amortizing payment is $13,516 and $1,646,352 remains on the loan. The Association will pay off the smaller $1.6 million loan. The clarified motion passed with six votesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Vice President Dick Doughty did not vote because he felt there was still enough confusion on the matter to send it to a committee first to be straightened out.

RSF Golf Club member category change reviewed BY KAREN BILLING The RSF Golf Club has welcomed 15 people into its new former member resident category, approved last year by the Rancho Santa Fe Association.

Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach residents are being asked to participate in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training to learn how to care for yourself, your family and your neighbors should a disaster occur and emergency services are overwhelmed. The classes are free and open to all residents or employees of Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach who are 18 years or older. With training and practice and by working as a team, you will be able to do the greatest good for the greatest number of victims after and during a disaster, while protecting yourself from becoming a victim. Acting as individuals first, then later as members of teams, trained CERT volunteers can fan out within their assigned areas, extinguishing small fires, turning off natural gas inlets to damaged homes, performing light search and rescue, and rendering basic medical treatment. Trained volunteers also offer an important potential workforce to service organizations in non-hazardous functions such as shelter support, crowd control, and evacuation. The next CERT training begins April 24 at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr., Encinitas. For more information and to register, contact Arnie Lewin w7bia@cox.net

Scientists find blood test may predict heart attack BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Medical providers can determine if someone is having or has recently had a heart attack, but cannot tell if a patient is on the cusp of having one in the next couple of weeks. This could change in a profound way following a study confirming the presence of abnormally large or misshapen circulating endothelial cells (CEC) in the blood stream in the days leading up to a heart attack. A blood test for telltale CECs could predict a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of an imminent heart attack while there is still time to head off a medical crisis.

The findings come from a study, involving 50 patients, led by the Scripps Translational Science Institute, which found dramatic differences in CEC levels in heart attack patients when compared to a healthy control group. CECs were first connected to impending heart attacks back in 1999, but techniques to isolate and study these cells were not available until now. With additional validation, researchers believe a predictive CEC blood test could be developed for commercial use in the next year or two. The findings appear in the journal Science Trans-

lational Medicine. http:// bit.ly/GGbq2x. Self-healing hydrogels One of the fundamental properties of living tissues that allows recovery from repeated damage, is self-healing. Bioengineers have been keen to mimic this in synthetic materials but so far have been unable to develop hydrogels that can rapidly repair when cut. Now, UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering researchers announce a selfhealing hydrogel that binds in seconds, as easily as Velcro, to form a bond strong

Rancho Santa Fe Review

April 12, 2012

Beloved wife, mother, friend and community volunteer Sedef Esner remembered for the joy she brought to others BY KAREN BILLING Solana Beach resident and devoted community volunteer Sedef Esener passed away on April 1 at age 48 after a courageous and selfless four-year fight with rectal cancer. She is survived by her parents Ozden Richter and Coskun Erkam; husband Sadik, children Selin and Eren, as well as a multitude of friends locally and across the globe. She passed away peacefully in Sedef Esener her Solana Beach home, holding her mother’s hand. “If I had one word to describe her, it would be ‘Glue,’” said her friend of 13 years Janet Raschke, who spoke on behalf of Sedef’s many friends in this interview. “She was the glue that brings everyone together and holds them.” “A lot of people said that she was the glue and that really represents her character,” said her husband Sadik. “Even at tough times, she was easygoing and smiling and making sure everyone else was comfortable.” Memorial scholarships have been set up in her name at UCSD Moores Cancer Center, Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soccer, where she committed so much of her time, and at a Dollars for Scholars memorial scholarship at Torrey Pines High School. If all goes as planned, the first scholarship in her memory will be given this spring. A celebration of her life was held at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar on April 6 and Raschke said they couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. “It was so beautiful, the sunset and the full moon rising,” said her mother Ozden Richter, noting it was as if the sun was setting in slow motion. Sadik let a balloon go into the sky and it got stuck on a palm tree. “It was like one last goodbye,” said her mother through tears. “It was like she didn’t want to go yet.” Sedef was born on Nov. 19, 1963 in Istanbul and lived in Turkey through her teenage years. She attended college in Maui, Hawaii, before moving to the mainland. After marrying Sadik, the couple moved to Solana Beach where they

lived for the last 21 years. “I will certainly miss her smile and the way that she loved life and nature,” Sadik said. “Mostly her smile.” He remembers that the first day they met they had an argument about how to cook a certain dish. “It was the only argument that we ever had in 20 years,” Sadik said. Sedef was “the best mom” to her two children, Selin, 18, a Torrey Pines High School graduate who now attends UC San Diego, and Eren, a 15-year-old who attends TPHS. Her home was a happy place for her children’s friends to visit. “The kids loved her home, they loved Sedef,” said Raschke. “She fed them, had arts and crafts projects for them, she talked with them. She was very special to all of them.” One day after having cyber knife surgery last summer, she boarded a plane and took 15 children, including her own, to Turkey for a six-week vacation. “She wanted her kids to remember that vacation,” said Richter. Her mother describes Sedef as being always happy, positive and down to earth. She was an adventurer who loved to travel and was very athletic — once she was a ping-pong champion in Istanbul. She loved fine dining and was a great cook—her father had been a hotelier and she had lived in hotels and enjoyed working with the chefs. She was incredibly generous with her time. “She did not know the word ‘no’,” said Raschke. “She did everything.” “Whatever anyone needed, things that wouldn’t even cross your mind, she would think of it,” said Richter. She was a devoted parent, the class mom at Solana Vista, Skyline, Earl Warren and very involved at Torrey Pines. She knew everything that was going on in the community and kept her friends informed. She organized everything, it was often Sedef that remembered everyone’s birthdays, and arranged fun outings. She loved the outdoors and got her friends into cycling. After being diagnosed, she was unselfish and never complained of the pain she must have been going through. “She went through so much and how she tried to hang

on is unbelievable,” said Richter. “It is a horrible sickness.” She always worried for others. Raschke said she’d rather talk about her friend’s backache than her own pain. In her last months she always wanted to ensure that Eren’s water was ready for his soccer game or that his uniform was washed. She would continue organizing carpools even when it was difficult for her to speak. She would often text her mother to reassure her that she was OK and not to worry. “I cannot delete [them],” Richter said of those texts. Sedef’s biggest devotion in her last years was RSF Soccer, where she was a team manager until the day she passed. At RSF Soccer, if there was money to be raised, Sedef was on it. She raised money for seven kids to play in the league on scholarships and the day she got out of the hospital she held a garage sale to raise funds, even though she was so sick she couldn’t even sit. Sadik admits that Sedef didn’t even like soccer to begin with but became the sport’s biggest fan when her children were playing. “She would always say ‘just one more’,” Sadik said of Sedef attending games because she never knew when a game would be her last. At her life celebration, RSF Soccer coach Nate Hetherington said that even after chemotherapy she drove out to Las Vegas for a tournament, refusing to rest because she wanted to stay busy. “Always putting everyone else ahead of you,” Hetherington said. “You are perhaps the strongest person I know to go through those years and stay so positive.” RSF Soccer’s Director of Coaching Malcolm Tovey said that “Saint Sedef” was honest, committed, selfless and caring. “The legacy Sedef leaves behind as team manager is that of a pair of size 30 shoes, something that cannot be filled,” said Tovey. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that memorial donations be made to Rancho Santa Fe Youth Soccer. Please note the Sedef Esener Memorial Scholarship Fund in the memo section of the check.

RSF School to be honored by Kids Korps USA for ‘Acts of Kindness’ On April 28, during the Kids Korps Gala at the Del Mar Country Club, the Rancho Santa Fe School will be recognized for its dedication and commitment to developing a cohesive character development program. It all started with one parent who spoke to another parent, who spoke to another, who spoke to the school, who jumped on board! According to Dana Knees, a board member for the school’s 5-Star Education Foundation and national board member for Kids Korps USA, “The team effort has been amazing! The learning from all of this success is that parents CAN make a difference by bringing ideas, a plan if you will, to the school that just makes sense.” And the real key is for parents to assist educators execute every facet of the plan. According to Principal Kim Pinkerton, “Our job is to teach every student academic content, but its more than that, we strive to turn out well rounded children, by teaching and modeling respect, kindness, compassion, and leadership qualities throughout every element of the educational mix.” Some of next year’s highlights in the school: • Positive Discipline: A character building program initiated by Principal Kim Pinkerton and currently being taught to children in K-6th which includes teacher training and collaboration with teachers and parents. • Honor Our Heroes: A program designed to highlight the accomplishments of students’ philanthropic work currently taking place outside of the school. The Wehlage family with their son Carson, successfully launched this, according to Dana Knees.

• Acts of Kindness Parties: Parties supported by the room parents replacing the traditional craft party with coming together to create items for those in need. • Rachel’s Challenge: A philosophy which will become part of the school’s culture and turned into a week long event. The message is for children to be kind to one another and “pay it forward.” Recently a video launched by the schools grassroots RC Club was shown to the entire school. The Rachel’s Challenge events are a huge opportunity for guest speakers/role playing and curriculum implementation, headed up by Assistant Middle School Principle Paul Coco. • Student Council: Two groups representing elementary and middle school that initiate school wide Acts of Kindness Events. • And Finally Community Service: Every child and family will be encouraged and offered an amazing opportunity to enter their children and families into Kids Korps next year for just $10. This allows children and their families and their classrooms to go offsite to visit the Senior Centers, Military, Soup Kitchens, Ronald McDonald House, etc. Kids Korps USA also is a nationally recognized not for profit that will enable parents to keep track of their children’s community service hours. As children prepare for high school and college, community service is highly recommended. Field trips and camps are planned if 100 percent participation is reached, according to Lindy Delany. The RSF School will be honored for all of these efforts and hopes to begin a chain reaction for other schools to follow.

KEEP TALKING, WE’RE LISTENING.

Complementing the Community One Paseo will complete the Carmel Valley Master Plan with a truly walkable town center with human-scale streets, while complementing - not competing against - existing retail uses. The project has been planned so that adjacent land uses are mirrored and brought together into a central hub.

Donation helps Pegasus Rising upgrade ranch Therapy group assists military personnel BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Pegasus Rising recently received a $10,000 donation from the Home Depot Foundation, which will allow for much-needed upgrades and repairs around the Valenti Ranch the organization calls home. On Friday, April 6, about 35 volunteers from the Vista Home Depot store visited the ranch to begin work on the upgrades—they wanted to be involved in the planning and implementation of the improvements, not just hand over a gift card. Pegasus Rising, an equine therapy group, serves predominately military personnel, many who have been diagnosed with

Gary Adler, president and CEO of Pegasus Rising, with Lady Avalon PHOTOS: JON CLARK Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). “These are people who witness and deal with a lot of trauma and are impacted by it,” said Gary Adler, president and CEO of Pegasus Rising. “Our mission is to partner humans and horses for healing.”

Not only are the humans involved in the program healing, but the horses are too. The herd of 26 horses was rescued from a farm that could no longer care for them. Pegasus Riding rescued and cared for the horses and their interaction with the serviceman is a “symbiotic relationship.” The horses’ own traumatic history allows them to be empathetic and “mirror the anxieties exhibited by persons who have been exposed to violence.” The organization, founded by Cynthia and Tony Royal, was originally located in the Sacramento area in 2008, then moved to Stockton before eventually landing in Rancho Santa Fe in 2009. Irene Valenti generously donate the Valenti Ranch free of charge. Adler became president and CEO of Pegasus Rising

in June of 2009. He had always loved horses, having ridden since he was 7, and the rescue element of the organization appealed to him. From a business standpoint, he also knew he could help make it work. There are no charges for the organization’s services and it runs entirely on donations. “Every dollar we raise goes to the herd,” Adler said. Equine-assisted experiential health therapy programs are held through weekly group sessions with the Veterans Village of San Diego, as well as the organization’s New Resolve program in Escondido, which provides transitional housing and therapy for homeless veterans. Pegasus Rising also works with the Navy’s OASIS group (Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support) for returning and active duty service members diagnosed with combat- related PTSD. In addition to the group programs, Pegasus Rising also provides couples and family-based sessions for individuals who are readjusting to civilian life. Adler said sometimes returning servicemen and women don’t want to be touched or loved, have moral guilt and some feel survivor’s guilt. Instead of masking their pain with drugs, alcohol or, in some cases turning to suicide, servicemen and women find

They don’t judge them and for the person to feel connected with another living thing helps them. It can help them try again and trust again with humans.” Adler said the biggest hurdle they faced was getting the military to try the therapy. But now that they have and found successes, they get direct requests from servicemen/ women and have established a good partnership with the local groups, such as OASIS. About 20 to 30 people a week are now working with the horses. Adler said they are grateful for Home Depot’s materials grant, but still need donations to help maintain the herd.

From Sesame Street to Operation Rebound Retired Marine Corps major helps veterans recover from ‘visible and invisible’ injuries BY KATHY DAY Nico Marcolongo is going back to Sesame Street – well, sort of. The local resident and retired Marine Corps major and his family were featured on the April 2009 prime time show “Military Families Near and Far,” in one segment of “Talk, Listen, Connect.” The multimedia outreach program that includes TV segments, magazines and support materials is aimed at helping children and their families cope with deployments and injuries – visible and invisible. In one segment, in which Marcolongo says “I lost my smile,” his son Rocco – then 3 — talks about his daddy crying a lot after he got home and then adds, “My daddy is still in Iraq.” It was a revealing moment for the tough Marine. “With physical injuries, it’s very obvious – you get on it right away,” he said, but with “an invisible wound you don’t understand what is happening to you.” Now manager of the Challenged Athlete Foundation’s Operation Rebound, the La Jolla High school graduate, his wife Lisa – also a San Diego native — and Rocco shared the story of his invisible scars from post-traumatic stress disorder. He calls it post-traumatic stress injury, saying if you lost a limb “you wouldn’t call it amputee disorder.”

On April 18, he will participate in a conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., when Sesame Street unveils its findings from “Talk, Listen, Connect.” He will be answering questions from the perspective of an injured service member and how the findings helped his family, and particularly his son. Moderated by Bob Woodruff, the ABC newsman injured while covering the war in Iraq, and his wife Lee, the program also will include military medical and Defense Department personnel, researchers and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Joining them at the end will be Sesame Workshop’s senior VP for outreach and educational practices — and a skit featuring bilingual Muppet Rosita, who Marcolongo says with a smile, is on his speed-dial list. “Sesame Street’s work has been groundbreaking on a national scale,” he said in an interview on April 2. “It creates a context for children to understand … it’s an injury, they still love you.” A veteran of 12 years in the Marines who served two tours in Iraq, Marcolongo said he first realized he was suffering from “PTSI” after his second deployment to Iraq ended in 2007. Acknowledging that he felt depressed and anxious – “like the world got really small” – he said when he re-

Robert Svet

Proﬁle

Entrepreneur, family man honored for philanthropic work BY KATHY DAY When Robert Svet tells you he’s lived the immigrant story, he’s got the details to back it up and then some. The chairman and founder of The Eastridge Group of Staffing Companies and Rancho Santa Fe resident describes himself as a man of thirds: one-third businessman, one-third family man, one-third husband. Somehow he also finds an extra piece of himself to be involved with his alma mater, San Diego State, and to head the Forget Me Not Foundation, which he founded with one of his company’s executives. He and Bill Stone, who is president of Eastridge’s TheraStaff division, in March received the 10News Leadership Award for the charity, which gathers flowers after weddings and other large events and delivers them to hospitals, nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Svet’s passion for his world comes through in every story he tells, whether it’s about when he was an 8-year-old working with his father during the summer stacking tires or how he got involved with the staffing – formerly called employment agency – business. “I love my life,” he said in a recent interview at his company’s Mission Valley

Forget Me Not Foundation ■ www.forgetmenotfoundation.org (877) 403-4483 ■ Donations of flowers, sponsorship and volunteers are appreciated. ■ To see the presentation of the 10News Leadership Award, go to tinyurl. com/6pk47uu. headquarters. “I know I’m satisfied and have lived a full life.” Founded in 1972, Eastridge is one of the nation’s top companies in its industry and now has international operations as well. It has 13 specialty divisions, which place employees in a range of industries from convention staffing to legal offices and information technology. In addition, it provides general service in three areas and has five affiliates and partners. Svet enjoys talking about business and how he’s reinvented the company in the face of multiple recessions, but ask about his family and the tenor of the conversation changes. He and Cary, his wife of 36 years, have two sons, Jason, 26, and Adam, 33, both integral

In addition, Svet is a current member and past chair of the State Committee on Ethics of the California Association of Personnel Consultants (which is now California Staffing Professionals). Additionally, he serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the College of Business Administration at his alma mater, San Diego State University.

parts of their father’s business. “She is the smartest, most centered, kindest and sensitive person I’ve ever met,” the proud husband said. “I didn’t realize when I met her what I had, but I was smitten. She is even more beautiful today.” Like her husband, Cary has roots outside the U.S. Her family fled Cuba in 1964 when Fidel Castro came to power, leaving behind her father’s business – the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. “All of a sudden they were refugees,” Svet said. Both of Svet’s sons, who he calls his best friends, are USC graduates. Adam, who runs Eastridge’s 1099 compliance division, graduated from Francis Parker and Jason, who runs the company’s internal IT and marketing department and is also involved in its Complete Recycling operation, graduated from La Jolla Country Day. Friends have told him that he has the “most nuclear family they’ve ever seen,” which he attributes to his own upbringing. “I came from a rich childhood, of memories, philosophy, culture,” he said. “Socio-economically we were below average, but I always felt very special.” His parents and grandparents were Russian Jews forced in 1917 to leave their home where they owned the country’s second largest tea factory. “It was a matter of get killed or leave,” he said. Like many of their countrymen, they crossed the Chinese border and settled in Shanghai, again establishing themselves in business with a large importexport company and as owners of Union Bank of Shanghai. That’s where Robert Svet was born. He was only 2 when his family had to abandon their home again, this time in 1949 when Mao Zedong’s Communist revolution erupted. “We left with $2,500 in American dollars after living a very fabulous lifestyle in Shanghai,” Svet said. “Luckily we had the cash and someone smuggled us out.” The only country that would take them at that time was Israel, but in 1954 they were able to get visas to the U.S. They landed in New York, spending only three days there before coming to

Robert Svet San Diego, where they were sponsored by his uncle who owned Reliable Tire and Rubber Co. “I pay extra homage to my father … for what the sacrifices he made to bring us here,” Svet said. Growing up near University Avenue and 47th Street, the young Svet had a bit of a language problem when he arrived. He spoke Russian, Hebrew, Yiddish and a little Chinese, but not much English. Always driven though, he went on to San Diego State, graduating in 1969 in the midst of the Vietnam War. Faced with a low draft number, he obtained a deferment for being the sole support of his father and sister — his mother had died previously. “Every six months, I had to go before the draft board and show them my checks and my expenses,” Svet said. “It was very motivating to work hard.” He told a friend who worked for an employment agency, “I need a job or I’ll get drafted,” he said. “I wanted to be a stock broker but they wouldn’t take me with a No. 87 (draft number) and 21 years old.” When his friend asked what he did and wanted to

PHOTO: ROB MCKENZIE

do, Svet was told he couldn’t be placed, but instead said “Why don’t you work for us.” His response was “Can I make $600 a month?” – the income he had to show the draft board – and, now, 40 years later, he’s still in the staffing business despite occurring rounds of challenges. First it was the mild recession of ’72-’73, he said, when he learned that he had to pay more attention to accounting and finances rather than just driving revenues. “I reinvented myself as a businessman,” he said. Next came the downturn of 1980, when Eastridge shifted from a direct hire and permanent search agency to temporary staffing. Then with the savings and loan crisis in the 1980s, Svet was faced with finding another new angle. At that time about 35 percent of what they did was provide staffing for the banking industry, so he came up with the idea of “boutique” divisions and created different brands within the company. Not to be outdone again when the 2000 dotcom bubble burst, Svet said

he realized one of Eastridge’s strongest suits was its backoffice systems so they started providing support for other staffing companies around the country. This time, when the 2008 economic crisis surfaced, the company moved into more boutique areas, adding a 1099 compliance division to help companies with IRS issues, a recycling company, and a division that provides law firms with extra help when they’re faced with big cases. A plaque on the wall across from Svet’s desk defines the purpose of his company: “To provide people with opportunities and enrichment through work.” The company does the same in the communities where it has offices, from the new foundation to supporting the Wounded Warrior program. It also works with Hire-A-Youth programs and provides internships. He says he’s “blessed and cursed with creativity, but it’s kept me in business for 40 years.” He puts that creativity and his entrepreneurship skills to work as a member of the board of SDSU’s College of Business Administration, which he praises for being an “active, not a ceremonial board” that he works closely with and helped select the new dean, Rancho Santa Fe resident Michael R. Cunningham. When asked what he enjoys besides his work and family, Svet reaches a bit. “I used to golf until I injured my elbow,” he said. “I enjoy my work … it’s not work to me.” He and Cary travel a lot, something she loves, but he says he does it to keep her happy. “After traveling for business, it’s not my favorite thing,” he said with a shrug. Even so, once he starts talking about where they go – three to five weeks every year to Ravello on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, and Anguilla and Hawaii – hints come through that it’s not such a chore for him. The couple also likes walking the beach in Del Mar on a regular basis and Svet gets a kick out of tournament poker, which he plays five to six times a year when he visits the Eastridge office in Las Vegas. He also gets joy from the Forget Me Not FoundaSee PROFILE, page 24

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Natural horsemanship unites trainers, animals, owners at Clews Ranch Renowned horse trainer Buck Brannaman returns for clinic BY DIANA SAENGER Dan M. “Buck” Brannaman, a renowned horse trainer and practitioner in the field of natural horsemanship, recently held his horse clinic at the Clews Horse Ranch in Carmel Valley. Working alongside Christian Clews, Buck returns to the ranch every even year to do a four-five day clinic on horsemanship and cow working. Brannaman’s philosophy of working with horses, which is based on the idea of working with the horse’s nature, gained national attention last year when Cindy Meehl’s documentary “Buck” hit the big screen. A true American cowboy and horse gentler, Brannaman was the inspiration for the Nicholas Evans novel “The Horse Whisperer” and Robert Redford’s adviser and double for the 1998 film based on the book.” Brannaman has been coming to the Clews Ranch to do clinics for 15 years and had become close friends with Christian Clews. His family owns the sprawling 40-acre ranch where they have been boarding horses since 1992. “Buck is amazing,” said Clews’ mother Bunny. “We used to host Ray Hunt, one of Buck’s mentors who used to come here, and then Buck started coming. We offer on-

Left, Christian Clews and Buck Brannaman site training for horses and riders, roping and cattle working.” Christian Clews grew up with a family who owned and loved horses. He attended La Jolla Elementary and then La Jolla High School. “I won a personality award in high school because I wore a cowboy hat and boots all through school,” he said. “I thought a cowboy was the greatest American hero so that was going to be my occupation.” Before digging his heels into the ranch permanently, Clews became a fireman in Deer Springs for seven years until an injury sent him fulltime back to the ranch. “There was nothing better for me than to get up out of bed, head outside to run my own business, manage 90 horses and 30 head of cattle, rope and give clinics to horse owners,” said Clews who is on the

same bandwagon as Brannaman about teaching owners to communicate with their animals. “Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will,” said Brannaman in an interview with him last summer. “People don’t understand what’s going on with the horse, how he thinks, and what it takes to get him to make the right decisions. It’s almost like the more modern and technical we get the more instincts and connection to nature we lose. On bad days it’s like a dictatorship, but on a good day it’s an enlightened monarchy. That’s why people are so interested in what I’m doing because it’s such a great feeling to connect with the horse and feel like that horse depends on them.” After getting a degree in

animal science and working with horses at his ranch and across the country, Clews agrees with this philosophy. “People have come here for years to learn from Buck; but I used to have to beg people to come to the clinic,” Clews said. “The documentary brought a lot of attention to what he does and we had a large response for the clinic that just ended —both in horsemanship and cow working — as well as more than 300 spectators. It’s nice to see Buck getting the publicity he deserves.” Brannaman is keen on respect – something he and his brother Smokie never received as kids from their dad, a vicious and abusive bully who beat them regularly. Eventually, it was Brannaman’s Christian foster parents who changed his life and created a goal for him to make a

animal feel safe. He wrote three books to help those in the midst of darkness to realize there are choices in life. “My childhood was taken, and I can’t get that back,” Brannaman said. “But no matter how bad someone is treating you, the one thing they can’t take from you is your will. So because of the things I went through as a kid, I could feel how the horse felt.” Clews is happy living and working on the ranch and mentoring his 13-yearold son Colton. Clews loves his ranch, the work and teaching owners new ways to live with their animals. “When you learn how to use equipment properly and learn to respect the different disciplines of riding a horse, whether it’s English saddle, bare back with feathers, or dressage, it doesn’t matter. A

good horse is a good horse and a bad horse is a bad horse. And a bad horse comes from bad horsemen,” Clews said. The Clews ranch itself has undergone a significant transformation. In 1905 the Carmelite Sisters of Mercy established a dairy farm and monastery on the property (thus how the name Carmel Valley came to be). They also operated St. Joseph’s Hospital on Sixth Ave and Market Street in downtown San Diego, which was eventually named Mercy Hospital. Visitors are welcome to visit the Clews Horse Ranch on some Sundays. Call (858) 755-5022 or visit www.clewsranch.com for more information. Clews Horse Ranch is located at 11500 Clews Ranch Road, San Diego, 92130.

R. Roger Rowe School students visit Harbor Seals in La Jolla In March, Mrs. Kim’s 2nd grade class at R. Roger Rowe traveled to the Children’s Pool in La Jolla to observe the Harbor Seals. The children had the experience of seeing many mothers and their babies, as it was birthing season for the seals. In addition there were a few pregnant mother seals relaxing on the beach. As a bonus, the students also had the chance to see the Sea Lions in La Jolla Cove. This gave them the opportunity to compare the two groups. The boys and girls were quick to notice that the Sea Lions were larger and louder. The children enjoyed this trip as part of the school’s Scripps Ocean Partnership, sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation as part of the “Five-Star” Education programs.

Delicias Restaurant recently hosted a “Defeat the Deficit Dinner” to benefit the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation. The Foundation currently has a deficit against this year’s RSF School district grant of $1,000,000 that funds important “FiveStar Education” programs such as Small Class Size and more. Delicias graciously offered to help by hosting a private 3-course dinner, including wine and gratuity, for the first 70 people who contributed an additional $250 per person to the Education Foundation in an effort to defeat the deficit. The sold-out dinner did not disappoint! Guests dined on delicious delicacies created by Chef Paul McCabe, all the while helping the Education Foundation raise over $15,000 towards its “Five-Star” Education programs! The menu and wine selections

proved to be “Five-Star” as well. Delicias Chef Paul McCabe is known as an innovative, award-winning culinary artist and has consistently been recognized as one of San Diego’s best. Chef McCabe and Manager Alex Campbell also came out and greeted the guests, and gave them a preview of new changes to Delicias. There will be a new menu and other events to invite families and couples for a more community feeling dining experience. The Education Foundation is extremely grateful to Delicias and the Perry Family for sponsoring this effort. It was a wonderful evening celebrating the strength of our community, parents and businesses, working together to support our neighborhood and school.

Local TV show introduces kids to fun, healthy cooking BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Working for M&M’s in New York for eight years, Amanda Curry focused on one marketing strategy: making the colorful chocolate candies “fun, fun, fun.” But after some time, she got to thinking: Why not market healthy food in the same way you would market candy? That idea grew into “The Good Food Factory,” a children’s cooking show that’s filmed at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach and aired daily on Channel 4 San Diego (also known as 4SD or Cox 4). “Healthy food has this stigma; everyone thinks it’s boring,” said Curry, who brought her TV show idea, in the form of four pilot episodes, from New York to San Diego four years ago. “I had decided I’d had it with New York City,” she said. “New York is a drinking town, it’s cold, I had a dog, I wanted more exercise and I wanted to get outside. Being unhealthy myself, I decided I was going to Encinitas to learn how to surf.” Surfing was her calling, so to speak, and Curry surfed a lot when she first arrived on the West Coast. She eventually shared her pilot episodes with Cox and “they loved it,” she said. Getting on the network prompted Curry to film a series of 15 episodes, each with different themes and different local children. For example, she featured surfer kids in one episode and taught them how to cook a filling breakfast, as well as a healthy mid-day snack. Curry always features three recipes per episode, and she teaches how to make

snacks along with doing an activity in order to teach the importance of eating well while staying active. In one of her favorite episodes, Curry featured local, 7-year-old skateboarding star Annika Vrklan and her siblings, Kieren, Klara and Elek. Curry showed the kids how to make “Skater Snacks” — frozen yogurt pops with fruit. When it comes to choosing child stars for her show, Curry doesn’t seek out actors. She features local children and encourages them to be themselves. “We are like Rachel Ray meets ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things,’” said Curry. “We want it to be realistic. We don’t coach the kids or rehearse. We have shy kids and cranky kids and boisterous kids. Whoever they are as a child, that’s what we want.” Curry said the unscripted nature of the show has brought out some funny moments. She said one time a little girl put her foot up on the counter to show off her pedicure, and another child once volunteered the information: “My dad toots a lot.” When it comes to production, Curry has a five-person crew, but does much of the work herself. Her hats range from video editor to producer to food shopper to writer. Besides putting on “The Good Food Factory,” Curry is the director of The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, which is housed under the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. Curry hosts cooking classes for kids, brings in local students from neighboring elementary schools and also holds cooking camps at the center, which is also home to an organic gardening program for kids. She will soon

OBITUARIES

Capt. Douglas Hughes Rose, USN 1955 – 2012 Capt. Douglas Rose, USN, died peacefully in his home in Rancho Santa Fe April 2, 2012, following a long, courageous battle with leukemia. His ﬁnal days were faced with aweinspiring grace, composure and a conviction of his salvation. Born in 1955, Doug was a native Californian and full-blooded San Diegan. He attended La Jolla High School and graduated from San Dieguito after the family moved to Rancho Santa Fe. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Following short stints with Kmart and Music Plus, Doug attended the U.S. Navy’s Ofﬁcer Candidate School in Newport, RI, and

received his commission in 1982. Upon commissioning, ENS Rose attended the renowned Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, Ga. Capt. Rose served for 30 years in the U.S. Navy and enjoyed every minute of it. He was qualified as a Surface Warfare Supply Corps Officer, had Joint Specialty Officer designation and Transportation and Operational Logistics subspecialties. His first assignment post graduation from Supply Corps School was to USS LEWIS B. PULLER (FFG 23) where he served as the Disbursing and Sales Officer and was qualified as an Officer of the Deck Underway. His Supply Officer tour, a critical career milestone in the Supply Corps, was aboard the USS WADDELL (DDG 24) where he supported counter-drug operation missions before the ship was transferred to the Greek Navy in 1992. Doug’s shore duty assignments include positions with the Naval Support Facility, Diego Garcia; Naval Audit Service West, San Diego, CA; Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Coronado, CA; U.S. Southern Command, Miami, FL; Naval Special Warfare Command, Coronado; Naval Operational Logistics Support Center, Norfolk, VA; and Commander, Third Fleet, San Diego. Doug’s

last Navy tour was as the Assistant Chief of Staff for Logistics for Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command (WARCOM), Coronado. During his Naval career, Doug earned a master’s degree in National Security and Strategic Studies in 1996 from the Naval War College, in Newport, RI. He also graduated from the Transportation Management School in San Francisco and the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk. Doug’s numerous military awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal (2), Joint Service Commendation Medal, Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medal (3) and the Joint Service Achievement Medal. Aside from being a consummate Naval Ofﬁcer and world-class Supply Corps Ofﬁcer, Doug was an avid surfer who kept a board at the ready at WARCOM. He often hit the surf on days when most thought the waves were too big. Doug also enjoyed volleyball, racing a street luge (if you can believe that), and he was a collector of treasures, great and small. He also enjoyed traveling with his family all over the United

States and abroad. His favorite destinations were San Francisco, London, Paris, and Normandy. He is known as a gifted artist and his work shows uncanny insight into the world around him. He is remembered by co-workers for the creative art he crafted on his office white board. Doug is survived by his wife of twenty five years, Linda; sons, Griffin and Benjamin; father, Robert J. Rose; and brother, Stephen S. Rose. He is predeceased by his mother, Barbara Smith Rose. Services will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2012, at 11am at the Village Community Presbyterian Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe. A reception will follow at the Rose family home. Directions will be available at the service. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that contributions be made to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or the Navy Supply Corps Foundation Scholarship Fund.

BERIKER continued from page 1 vada. His third son, a lawyer, is a vice president with Yahoo and lives in the Silicon Valley. “It’s been a wonderful journey since my wife Kristine and I came here eight years ago,” Beriker said, noting that over the years he’s met “kings and queens, movie stars and billionaires.” But, he added, he’s also enjoyed the guests at The Inn and residents of the community, which he describes in The Inn’s cookbook as “a paradise in the center of everything in this civilized and peaceful town.” He says it will be hard to leave the people, calling them “very refreshing and down to earth … delightful.” He was quick to note that he has been impressed by how much they care about their children and their schools. “Education is most important and we have one of the best schools,” he said. And one of the things he’s going to miss is being involved with the hardworking members of the RSF Education Foundation. Christy Wilson, executive director of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and,

As he looked at the massive centerpieces – there were to be 40 large ones and many smaller ones – he asked the designer what would happen to them afterwards. When her answer was “probably not much … we throw them out” he drove back to the office and called Stone, knowing that because he runs the TheraStaff division and works with therapists around the county he would have contacts. The two set the wheels in motion to share the wedding flowers with Rady Children’s Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House for Mother’s Day, partnering with American Medical Response which used its ambulances to deliver them. That planted the seed for the foundation, created in May 2010. Today the arrangements are delivered to the facilities where the residents take them apart and reas-

like Beriker, a Rotarian, said she will miss her friend for his “wonderful community spirit. We are better because he was here.” His “European sense of style, grace and graciousness elevated our community,” she added. Beriker also drew praise from RSF Association Manager Pete Smith. “We had a great working relationship with him. He was dedicated, loyal and committed to the community and the property.” As Beriker recalled his days at The Inn, he said he’s had some challenges and worked long hours, but “it’s the kind of lifestyle I enjoy... I love people. I love what I’m doing.” The Swiss-born Beriker has lived that lifestyle around the world, working in luxury hotels from Canada and Europe to Mexico and the Caribbean. Among the landmarks he’s managed were the Hotel Bel Air and the Beverly Hills Hotel, which both earned coveted Five-Star ratings for the first time while he was running them. He also had the unbeatable experience of hosting the grand re-opening party at the Beverly Hills Hotel, when 1,600 guests from Oscar winners to Army Archerd, the legendary Variety columnist who announced each guest, turned out for the gala benefit for the Mo-

HEART continued from page 2 enough to withstand repeated stretching. Hydrogels consists of linked chains of polymer molecules that form a flexible, gelatin-like material similar to soft tissues. Researchers pushed the technology forward by using “dangling side chain” molecules that extend like fingers on a hand from the primary structure of the hydrogel network and enable them to grasp one another. This innovation was hit upon after computer simulations revealed that a hydrogel’s ability to self-heal depended on the length of these side chain molecules.

As he heads out of the Ranch in about a week, he will take with him some special memories – many, like those from previous days, that he’s saving for a book he plans to write. One that he would share was about Mrs. Miller, a longtime resident and “lovely lady who always came to the hotel In addition, the new hydrogel’s strength and flexibility in an acidic environment – similar to that of the stomach – favors it as an adhesive to heal stomach perforations or for controlled drug delivery. The finding was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://bit.ly/wxXBL2. Controlling memory Scripps Research Institute scientists have successfully harnessed neurons in mouse brains, allowing them to partially control a specific memory. The team set out to manipulate specific memories by inserting two genes into mice; one of which produces receptors that can be chemically triggered to activate a neuron. This technique permits “onoff switching” in neurons involved in the formation of specific memories. The “on” switch was triggered in mice that were then placed in an environment with distinct colors, smells, and textures (Box A). Next, the mice were placed in a different environment (Box B) after receiving the chemical that turned on the neurons associated with the memory for Box A. Mice behaved as if they were form-

impeccably dressed.” One day, he said, he bumped into her at the post office and she was “not so well dressed,” for which she was very apologetic. Mostly, though, his memories will be of the community, going to the post office to chat with everybody and picking up his oldest grandson, Jonathan, at school. He wrapped up his days with a luncheon on April 4 with his coworkers to thank them — the luncheon was also attended by some of the shareholders. beriker was also honored at the April 9 RSF Rotary luncheon (see photos in this issue). That he calls them his “coworkers” speaks volumes of Beriker’s work ethic. Wherever he has been, he has interviewed every person hired, from dishwashers to assistant managers — upwards of 50,000 individuals. “We are like a family,” he said. “I see them more than I see my wife so it’s important to put together people who work well together.” In addition to taking care of those people, he has also made sure that he respected the “integrity and financials for the owners” and that all customers were taken care of. “You never say no as long as they don’t ask you do to something illegal,” he said. ing a hybrid memory that was part Box A and part Box B. An underlying goal of this basic research is to understand what goes wrong in situations of inappropriate perceptions, such as in schizophrenia and posttraumatic stress disorder. The results were reported in the journal Science. http:// bit.ly/GJQmrW. —Lynne Friedmann is a science writer.

REBOUND continued from page 7 four months before anyone responded and that person was an enlisted man. He knew then, he said, that he wasn’t alone. With the help of his wife, who works with the Elizabeth Hospice, they found a place to meet and the group grew. Today, under the leadership of Bill Rider and Jack Lyon, the American Combat Veterans of War has a permanent facility in Oceanside where troops get assistance in transitioning back to civilian life. And Marcolongo has his own role in aiding those who came home from war with injuries of their own. CAF’s Operation Rebound program offers opportunities through sports and support to both

As he moves to the next stage of his career – “There’s no retirement; I’m too active” – he plans to spend a little more time with his seven granddaughters and grandson. And, he added, he always has to adapt and go with changes in the business.

“I’m so lucky,” he said. “If you like what you do, when you smile it comes from the heart.” And smile he did, as he walked back towards his office to wrap up another chapter in his career. “You have just one life to live. Just do what you want.”

military and first responders who have permanent physical injuries. “You have to want to get better, whether you are an amputee or have an invisible injury,” he said. “Living a healthier lifestyle can lessen the negative consequences you have.” He proudly escorts a visitor around the center, which features a full gym with specialized equipment, a court that can be used for wheelchair basketball and classes. There are also story boards about the athletes who have found new life through sports and their equipment – such as the specially designed handcycle that Oscar “Oz” Sanchez rode to his Paralympics gold medal. And Marcolongo displays a sports card – just like the baseball cards he collected as a boy – that tells Sanchez’s story: “In 2001, while being transferred to the Navy SEALS, Oz was in a motorcycle accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury, causing paralysis and neurological complications.” Marcolongo and his wife also volunteer at the Naval Regional Medical Center, where he takes Tally, his black Lab service dog from Canine Companions for Independence who often brings

a smile to patients and is a calming influence on Marcolongo at moments when he still feels anxious. He also still works with Buddy Bowl Inc., a football charity for injured military and first responders that he founded and is now in eight states; helps with surf clinics in Del Mar; and thinks of new ways to deal with the future for injured military personnel. “As the war winds down, we will continue to see major impacts,” he said, noting that as well as helping those injured, the ongoing programs can help keep the military ready for future events. For him, the hope comes in knowing “there is a way to overcome anything if you want to,” he said. “You may have an injury or disability that will be with you for the rest of your life, but you don’t have to let it define your life.” For more information, visit www.operationrebound. org or email nico@challengedathletes.org.

HICAP provides unbiased information to help you make an informed decision for your individual health care needs. The California Department of Aging provides funding and oversight of the program through contracts with local Area Agencies on Aging offices that administer the local HICAP programs. Counseling services are provided Terrie Litwin by trained volunteer counselors who are registered by the California Department of Aging. Local seniors will now be able to make appointments for individual HICAP counseling services offered at the RSF Senior Center the second Tuesday of each month from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m., by appointment only. Please call 1-800-434-0222 to schedule an appointment. Quality Healthcare: Defining what is Valuable Please join us at the Senior Center on Friday, April 20, at 2 p.m. for “Quality Healthcare: Defining what is Valuable” presented by Scott A. Irwin, MD, PhD. Dr. Irwin is Chief of Psychiatry & Psychosocial Services at the Institute for Palliative Medicine at San Diego Hospice. During this interactive presentation, Dr. Irvin will lead an open discussion to include: What people find of value in healthcare and what they don’t, the definition of palliative care, and how palliative care might close the gap. Dr. Irwin graduated from the University of Illinois Medical School, Urbana-Champaign in 2002. In 2006, he completed a psychiatry residency at UCSD as the chief resident of Outpatient Psychiatric Services, as well as a two-year elective in hospice and palliative care at San Diego Hospice.

Please call the Senior Center at (858)756-3041 to reserve your place. Healthy Cooking for One or Two According to the National Institute on Aging, older adults who consume a well planned, balanced mix of foods every day reap many health benefits. Eating a well balanced diet may reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bone loss, some kinds of cancer and anemia. If you already have one or more of these chronic diseases, eating well may help you better manage them. Eating well gives you the nutrients you need to keep your muscles, bones and organs healthy. These nutrients include vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water. As we age, eating healthfully becomes more important and also more challenging. Often, when faced with shopping, food storage, and food preparation, seniors resort to buying prepared, processed foods which may be high in sodium and calories and low in nutrients. Learning simple techniques and shortcuts for shopping and meal preparation can make creating nutritious meals an enjoyable experience. On Wednesday, April 25, at 2 p.m., Chef Pamela Croft will present “Healthy Cooking for One or Two”. Pamela will discuss tips for food safety at home, provide recipe ideas, and offer recipe modifications when cooking for one or two. There will be a cooking demonstration with a tasting of delicious meal samples.

Congressional advisor and health-care advocate Dr. Robert Hertzka will be the guest speaker at the next “Coffee and Conversation” event on Thursday, May 17, from 8-9 a.m. at the RSF Golf Club. Hertzka will lead a presentation on the new multi-trillion-dollar health care law and how it will affect your life. Most Americans will experience tax changes due to the new health care law, known as the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, which will unfold over the next few years. The rising costs of health care will impact your financial decision-making and portfolio, whether you are an individual or business owner. Many of the highly controversial provisions will not take effect until after 2014, with the real costs of the bill becoming evident in 2014, although billions of dollars in new taxes and fees will take effect sooner. Buried within the contents of the more than 2,000-page bill are trillions of dollars in new government spending, resulting in many new taxes for individuals, business owners, and companies. There is no charge to attend the event. Hertzka’s presentation is part of the “Coffee and Conversation” series sponsored by Financial Advisor Deana Carter. To attend, please RSVP to Deana Carter at (858) 756-1566 or DCarter@CarterFinancial.biz. The Carter Financial office is located in the Rancho Santa Fe village, at 6013 La Granada.

Local lady styles both wardrobes and lives

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Up until two years ago, Tracy Schwartz spent nearly a decade in business suits working as a concierge and event planner at L’Auberge Hotel in Del Mar. “Banana Republic was right across the street, and that’s all I wore,” said the local resident. “I was very structured, very black and white.” When the time came for Schwartz to transition from her 20s to her 30s and from one job to the next, she came to realize she wasn’t projecting herself accurately to the world, and she sought the help of personal stylist Catherine Bachelier Smith. Smith, a La Jolla resident who styles clients from Del Mar to Rancho Santa Fe, went through Schwartz’s closet to learn about Schwartz’s habits and personal style in order to enhance it. She also wanted to learn what Schwartz needs to buy more of or, more importunely, get rid of. “At first I got a little defensive,” said Schwartz. “Your clothes are your identity.

“mistake” she sees is when clients repeat themselves with their purchases. For example, she said, if someone owns the same white, collared blouse in three different materials and three different styles, people will still perceive that shirt as being the same.

Delicias restaurant prepares to unveil new look, new menu BY KAREN BILLING Delicias Executive Chef Paul McCabe recently let the smell of freshly baked bread take him back. He warmly recalled the smell from his mother’s kitchen, where she explained how yeast worked to a fascinated young McCabe, the humble beginnings of a culinary career. “It all started at home, my mom cooked everything; jam, bread, granola. It was a good country home and I was in the kitchen with her all the time,” said McCabe. “That’s where my love of food came from.” A long way from his mother’s kitchen, McCabe has been at Delicias for the past four months, brought on as executive chef and a partner to owner Owen Perry. Together they are completely re-imagining Delicias. It will not only have a whole new menu, but also a new look. The restaurant will close on April 22 for about a week for the revamping—think modern, color, no more tablecloths, rich dark woods and chandeliers and updated restrooms. The new menu at Delicias will be a bit of a surprise as McCabe is keeping his cards close to his vest for now. He will reveal that he is aiming to create a new dining experience. “The dining scene has changed over the last few years, people want to sit down and make it an event and taste a whole bunch of different things,” McCabe said. Patrons will still be able to get great entrees, but there will be more “snack” and “side” options to experience as many of the flavors of Delicias as possible. “You’ll be able to eat a different way every time you come to this place, which keeps it fresh and interesting,” McCabe said.

Executive Chef Paul McCabe will roll out a new menu and dining experience at Delicias. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING McCabe comes to Rancho Santa Fe from a career spent in mostly four- and five-star restaurants. Before coming to San Diego in 2001, he bypassed culinary school to apprentice for Chef Michel Blanchet, “one of the best chefs of our time,” and learn about old world French at the L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills. He spent the last seven years at L’Auberge’s Kitchen 1540 before the opportunity at Delicias arose. He’s said he’s always had an “entrepreneurial spirit” and he was excited by the opportunity to come to the Ranch. “I always liked Delicias and wondered why it isn’t at least in the top 10 of restaurants in town,” McCabe said. “I love that challenge

to get the place back where it should be.” McCabe is not a fan of the word “specialty” as his taste is constantly evolving. He would say his food is modern American, but he’s able to do anything from French to Japanese, skills honed from time spent doing Pacific Rim cuisine in Kona, Hawaii. Location allows him to focus on California fresh produce and he makes all his own charcuterie. “It’s great organic ingredients with modern cooking techniques,” McCabe said of his style.

Playwrights young and old to show their work at New Play Festival BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For the past 27 years, Playwrights Project has been encouraging talented writers under age 18 with a statewide Young Playwrights Contest, whose winners are offered staged readings or full productions of their works, performed by professional actors. The youngest winner to date was a 10-year-old; the 2011 winners range in age from 11 to 18. This year, as part of their annual New Play Festival, they are also presenting productions of scripts by older writers, adults over age 55 who have been learning to dramatize their life experiences in a series of workshops led by Playwrights Project founder Deborah Salzer. June Gottleib, one of four senior writers whose work will be shown in rotation with Plays by Young Writers, said the idea for her piece, “Changing Roles/My Year of Being Alone,” came from an exercise in one of the Lifestages workshops. “We had to do a ‘quick write’ on a variety of important events in our lives, and I selected the very last event I wrote down — my year of being alone after losing my

spouse to dementia,” she said. “At first, I really didn’t want to write it, because it contained a lot of fresh and difficult emotions, but it kept calling out to me. I went through a number of drafts before I got to the heart of what I wanted to say.” Among the youngest of this year’s winning young writers — and the only female — is 13-year-old Kira Nolan, who attends The Bishop’s School in La Jolla and has been writing for

most of her life. “The Eccentric Flight of a Fly,” written when she was 12, will be her second appearance in the New Play Festival, where her play “Russet,” was presented last year. “I actually swallowed a fly, and that gave me the idea of a girl with a fly inside her head, controlling her mind and making her lose control of her body,” said the playwright. “She has a pet dog, too, for comic relief.” The 2011 winners are all

Senior writers June Gottleib, John Whitmore and Savannah Sincoff will show their work in “Lifestages Reflections.” (Not pictured: Topper Birdsall) La Jolla Playhouse. There’s some bordercrossing in the themes of the young and older playwrights. “Caleb’s play, ‘Hallowed,’ about an old man who has decided it’s his time to die, is beautiful, poetic, and very insightful about is-

sues of aging,” Kouma said. “And Topper Birdsall’s play, ‘Wahoo,’ is about being young. One is looking forward, one is looking back. It’s so exciting to watch these plays come together, and I’m so impressed by how thoughtful and creative all the writers are!”

Exhibition of Art Prize winners opens at Athenaeum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The San Diego Art Prize, funded by San Diego Visual Arts Network, is an annual award given to two established artists, each of whom chooses an emerging artist for the award. Selected works of the 2011 winners, established artists Jay Johnson and Rubén Ortiz-Torres and emerging artists Adam Belt and Tristan Shone, are now on view through May 5 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. The Art Prize committee, including Patricia Frischer of SDVAN, Ann Berchtold of Art San Diego, art collector Debra Poteet, and Erika Torri, Executive Director of the Athenaeum, chose the winners from a list of nominees by visual arts professionals and former Art Prize recipients. At the opening reception March 30, a crowd gathered for a fascinating multimedia encounter with the prize-winners’ work. Adam Belt’s walk-in installation “A Religious Experience,” offered a contemplative retreat, evoking a quiet sense of wonder with

Jay Johnson’s collections of found and fabricated objects were sharply eyecatching and Tristan Shone’s wall-mounted masks came to vibrant life, showing off their voice-modulating capacities in a musical performance by the artist/sound

designer, his pianist/wife, and his acoustic heavy metal combo. During the evening, Patricia Frischer announced the 2012 Art Prize winners, jewelry-maker Arline Fisch and sculptor Jeffery Laudenslager. The two will present their choices of emerging artists in June, at Susan Street Gallery in Solana Beach, where all this year’s nominees will have their work on display.

ed Henry David Thoreau had written what would become one of the most reprinted and influential political essays in history — and no one knew it. He had published his masterHenry David piece, Thoreau “Walden,” one of the few books of 19th-century American literature that can claim indisputable status as a classic — and no one read it.

“Thoreau is the quintessential American archetype: self-reliant, blunt, hostile to rank and privilege, unwilling to accept any philosophy as true without the test of implementation, and above all fiercely and passionately steadfast in his insistence that government exists for the benefit of the governed, that its power is derived from the consent of the governed, and that each man is the equal of every other man and superior to any government. ‘Ripples From Walden Pond’ is an account of the questions he asked, and the answers he lived.”

LJ Symphony & Chorus announces a season of contrasts for 2012-13 “Angle of Repose,” inspired by themes in Wallace Stegner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, will also be the name of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) 2012-13 season. The quintessential novel of the West asks us to look at where we come from and understand our relationship to the past. “In musical terms, we are talking about what it feels like to be at the start of a new century with the century just passed still in sight,” said music director Steven Schick. “In each concert, we are illuminating an oppositional relationship, something to do with a cross-generational or historical interaction.” • The season opens Nov. 3-4 with Maestro Schick conducting the orchestra in a program themed “Hero/Anti-Hero.” Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” the ultimate heroic piece in the classical repertoire, will be heard along with a dramatic and turbulent work by contemporary composer Missy Mazzoli, “Violent, Violent Sea.” Mazzoli will join LJS&C this West Coast premiere. Also on the program are two works from 20thcentury anti-hero John Cage that are meant more for contemplation than to stir deep and heroic emotions: “101,” for 101 musicians and no conductor; and in honor of the 100th

Steven Schick anniversary of Cage’s birth year, his infamous/famous “4’33”, where silence reigns. “For Cage’s ‘4’33’ we will open the auditorium doors and let the sounds waft in – birds, people talking, leaves rustling – and we will sit and listen carefully. It is amazing what the world sounds like. And then we will start the ‘Eroica’ without a pause,” Schick said. “We arrive at the concert hall these days through a welter of noise: horns, radios, cell phones. But wouldn’t it be fascinating to hear Beethoven out of the quiet that one might have heard 200 years ago?” • On Dec. 8-9, the theme of “Dark/Bright” offers five different visions of musical color and texture. The program is framed by two works of intense brightness, Handel’s “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” and Brahms’ “Triumphlied” for chorus and orchestra. Three works in the middle contain a framework of their own. Dark orchestral color is heard in Brahms’ “Nän-

ie,” with chorus, and in Luigi Dallapiccola’s “Piccola Musica Notturna” (A Little Night Music). At the center of the program is Arnold Schoenberg’s “Five Pieces for Orchestra,” one of the most colorful pieces of the 20th century. • The Feb. 9-10 concert, “Inside/Outside,” offers a program of music designed or evocative of both internal and external spaces. The program begins with an intimate work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, “Fantasy on a Theme” by Thomas Tallis, followed by Luciano Berio’s “Folk Songs,” featuring soprano Jessica Aszodi. The concert ends with Scandinavian composer Carl Nielsen’s “Symphony No. 3, Espansiva,” that transports to the wide-open northern spaces of his homeland. • On March 16-17 LJS&C offers a collage of opposites in “Repeat/Move On.” It is the conundrum that is one of the main questions a composer asks himself, and a theme that occurs over and over again in “Angle of Repose”: How do I know when this has played itself out and when it’s time to go on to the next thing?” Philip Glass, the American master of repeating phrases, begins the concert in his “Overture to La Belle et La Bête” (Beauty and the Beast), a contrast to the concluding work, Aaron

Also on the program is a premiere work by Yvonne Wu, commissioned by LJS&C through the Thomas Nee Commissioning Fund. • In the May 4-5 concert, “Old Worlds/New World,” the audience will hear vivid images by the eminent Chinese composer Chou Wen-chung in his composition “Landscapes,” paired with Franco-American composer Edgard Varèse’s tribute to his adopted home in Amériques.

‘This’ is a lot about that mid-life stuff at North Coast Rep BY DIANA SAENGER Playgoers have a tendency to appreciate tried-and-true productions but also innovative ones that come from out of the box. That’s what patrons of the North Coast Repertory Theatre will encounter with Melissa James Gibson’s “This” onstage through April 29. Directed by Kirsten Brandt, “This” is a comedy told through a physiological look at middle-aged characters who face changes in their lives. “What I loved about this play is the language Melissa writes,” Brandt said. “She writes it like a musical composition to help navigate where you need to go as an actor and as a director, and uses language to see the obvious, but also to quote the subtext in an unusual way. “This is a melancholy comedy that’s really funny and I think a rare find for people my age with questions like, ‘Have I met the right person? Am I doing the right thing? So for me, it’s nice to grapple with issues my friends and I are going through … and to have two women characters that offer really good parts for those 32 to 45 is great.” The cast features Andrew Abelson (Alan), Richard Baird (Tom), Courtney Corey (Jane), Judith Scott (Marrell) and Matt Thompson (Jean Pierre). Brandt (“The Frankenstein Project,” “Legacy of Light,” “Little Women”) said she was very specific when casting the

RSF Kids Korps initiates memorable ‘Acts of Kindness’ Easter event As part of the “Act of Kindness” Kids Korps effort, five Rancho Santa Fe Roger Rowe classrooms gathered on Monday, March 26, to create Spring Easter Baskets for children at a local foster care home. The students, which included one first grade class, three second grade classes and one fifth grade class, created over 85 Spring Baskets for New Alternatives Foster Care Home. Representatives from New Alternatives came and spoke with the students about their program and how happy they were to receive these special gifts the students made. Parents brought in healthy snacks, treats, toys, games, stuffed animals and other spring goodies to stuff in the baskets. Each basket contained a special note that the students wrote and about 20 items that were then wrapped in cellophane and ribbon to create a unique basket for each child. New Alternatives held a Bunny Hop in Balboa Park on Sunday, April 1, for visiting children and their parents where they distributed the baskets that the students created. “I was so impressed with the enthusiasm of the students who donated their time to create these baskets for our visiting families. All the students enjoyed picking out items to personalize each basket. The children even took the time to write individual cards for the visiting families. It was a great success and I hope we are able to work with the Rancho Santa Fe school district in the future,” said the New Alternatives Program Director. New Alternatives, Incorporated is a private, nonprofit corporation that was founded in San Diego, California in 1978. The mission of New Alternatives is to provide culturally competent and family focused services to child victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. The population served is some of San Diego’s and Orange Counties’ most vulnerable children. Diegueno’s Kids Korps Chapter is Underway! After school on Tuesday, Feb. 28, several families came together to make “No-Sew Blankets.” Our carefully crafted blankets will be distributed to children in Rosarito, Mexico. There is an urgent need for all kinds of supplies in this much underserved part of Mexico. Local Rotary members have been

making frequent trips in conjunction with Kids Korps to deliver these needed supplies. This was a great opportunity for our families to get together and share in giving back to the community, and everyone had such fun making this all Ethan Dunn, R. Roger happen.

By Diana WeissWisdom, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Diana, My wife and I are having marital problems because of our kids. We have a great relationship otherwise. The only thing we fight about has to do with her kids or my kids. She’s a little too easy going for my taste Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom when it comes to raising children. And she thinks I’m too strict. We each have our kids 50 percent of the time and our relationship goes downhill when they are around. Our conflicts about the children are tearing us apart. I really love my wife and want our marriage to work. We get along well in every other area but this one. Do you have any guidance for us? — Happily married but fighting about how to raise kids. Dear Happily Married, Every relationship has what we call “perpetual problems” — that is, challenges that are never resolved. It is to be expected especially in blended families. The key is in how you handle these conflicts more than finding specific solutions that make the problems go away. Conflicts about the kids are the biggest challenge for second marriages with children from a prior relationship. Somehow, you and

your wife need to agree to disagree and make peace with your differences. If you can accept that you have different opinions on child rearing, then the focus becomes how do you keep this from alienating each other. Perhaps there is something that each of you need from the other so your opposing values on this one disrupt your connection less often. Some couples argue with each other, trying to win and get their way. It doesn’t usually work to try and argue someone into feeling differently. It’s important to take one another’s feelings seriously. It’s only after we feel listened to and understood that our minds clear enough to be open to new ways of looking at things. When you can deepen your understanding of the underlying needs that are motivating each of your perspectives, a more natural, peaceful path between you may unfold. When a blended family couple cannot agree on how they want their children to be raised, it can help if they decide on the following household ground rules: •Be a good-listener that allows each person their voice; •Allow your loved ones to vent their frustrations and try to understand where they are coming from; •Promote mutual understanding in an atmosphere of compromise and respect; •Help each family member feel that they have an important place in the family; •Have family meetings in which house rules and priorities are discussed by all — with ultimate decisions made by the adults; •Promote decent behavior toward all.

Bottom line, we can’t make people feel differently than they do. Everyone has their legitimate perspective and respect is a two-way street. Creating healthy blended families require us to rise above our ego, consider other people, forgive, and build a bridge to the middle of the road. The adults must make their marriage a top priority. This is actually in the best interest of the children as the marriage is the foundation of a healthy family that can go the distance. It takes time and a lot of patience, but everyone can live happily ever after. Join us for our next Marriage Enrichment Workshop, Keeping Love Alive, based on the best selling book, “Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love,” by Sue Johnson. Memorial Day Weekend May 24-26, 2012. Cost is $895 per couple. Workshop is limited to 15 couples. Facilitated by Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom and Dr. Jessica Buss.

International high school essay contest launched Part of the International Bipolar Foundation’s (IBPF) mission is to erase stigma associated with mental illness through public education. To that end, the Foundation has launched a global essay contest open to all high school students internationally. “Our hope,” says Muffy Walker, president and founder of IBPF, “is that students will be interested in winning the prize and thereby research stigma in order to write the essay. In so doing, we will be educating a lot of young people and hopefully changing their perception about mental illness.” The topic of the essay is “Changing the Future of Stigma; Bipolar Disorder in 2020.” First and second place winners will be judged by a panel of authors who currently write about bipolar disorder and mental ill-

ness, and the winner will be announced in May to celebrate May as Mental Health Month. In addition, the First Place winner will receive $500 and the Second Place winner will receive $100. Both winners will have the opportunity to read their essay via Skype at the Foundation’s Public Forum with former Congressman Patrick Kennedy on May 22. For more information about the International Bipolar Foundation or to receive the essay rules and registration form, contact Ashley Reitzin: areitzin@internationalbipolarfoundation.org.

Falcon football players taking year-round approach to conditioning BY TIM PICKWELL The 2011 Varsity Football Season ended for the Torrey Pines Falcons on a cold Friday night in La Mesa, as they fell in the CIF quarterfinals to eventual CIF and State Champions, Helix High. The long offseason lasted . . . about two days. Then it was back to Football PE and weight lifting on Monday. Year-round conditioning is a tradition for the Torrey Pines football players. Every member of the program, freshman through senior, enrolls in year-round Football PE where they lift, stretch, run, and lift some more. Freshmen are introduced to the weight room during a summer lifting session, while older players are lifting year-round. Torrey Pines has its largest junior class in several seasons. Over 35 players are expected to return as seniors for the 2012 Fall season. They have high expectations. They want to be bigger, stronger, work harder, and play better. Several juniors, including Miles Ahles, Jake Ashby, Mike Cox, Sean Haratyk, Cole Jaczko, Grant McGahey, Andrew Maneval, Chase Pickwell, Nolan Weinberg, and Philip Wright, met a few weeks ago in the team room to figure out how to prepare to meet those expectations. They decided lifting every other day in Football PE wasn’t enough. They sent a delegation to head football coach Scott Ashby and asked him if he would open the weight room after school in the offseason. “We have a very dedicated group of lifters,” said a pleased Coach Ashby. “They are always looking to lift more.” Like several of his teammates, Mike Cox lifts six days a week. The promising junior lineman currently benches 280, squats 360, and can clean 215 pounds. His focus is to “get bigger for football and rugby.” Said Cox, “I lift here at school when I can, otherwise at

a gym.” Defensive Tackle Grant McGahey was the Falcon of the Week in the team’s first-round playoff victory over Morse High. He is also a regular at the after school lifting sessions. The 5’ 10”, 215 LB Junior can bench 315 and clean 235. When the Torrey Pines weight room is closed, McGahey spends his time at the Pacific Athletic Club doing—what else?— lifting. An in-school weightlifting session with the team is a high-energy, fast-paced affair. The players are separated into groups of three. At a signal from the coach, they attack the weights, rotating between lifts and spotting. Another signal, and they shift stations, hollering and encouraging each other. “The more energy you have,” says Ashby, “the more fun. The more fun, then the more you want to lift.” Junior Chase Pickwell was named Defensive Player of the Week for his 3-sack performance against Olympian High. But, he is expected to carry the ball from the Fullback position next season. “I’m hoping to play both ways on offense and defense next year,” he said, “and that will require me to be in the best shape of my life.” He used to have three different gym memberships, and a private lifting instructor. But he prefers working out with his teammates. “It’s a great group. We support each other and motivate each other to do better.” Players use the weight room to build strength, but also to rehab from injuries. Safety Cole Jaczko suffered a knee injury during the 2010 Varsity season. The promising player required surgery. “Initially,” he said, “I couldn’t do anything with my legs. Once my doctor cleared me to work on my leg, the weight room became crucial to helping me get back what I lost from my injury. This place was a huge part of my recovery.” The rehabbed junior

Torrey Pines High School Varsity players lift weights year-round in the team’s custom weight room. Photo: Susie Talman was an Honorable Mention All-Palomar League Selection in 2011. The team measures “maximum lifts” for all players on a regular basis, and recognizes members of the “1,000 Pound Club” (combined squat, clean and bench equals 1000 pounds). If you can squat 400 pounds, you get a t-shirt. The team’s undisputed heavy lifter is 6’ 8” 318 pound junior lineman, Jacob Alsadek, a two-time All Palomar League Honorable Mention at Tackle. He squats 450 pounds, cleans 260, and benches 345. Alsadek is expected to lead a strong Falcon line that will include returning starters Andrew Maneval, 6’ 3”, 250 LBs (Right Tackle) and Jake Ashby, 6’, 220 LBs (Center), both regulars at the afterschool lifting sessions. Between the three of them, Alsadek, Maneval and Ashby (twice)

were selected Falcon “Offensive Player of the Week” four times — a real coup for a lineman. Playing against other large football programs in North San Diego County, the lineman can expect to face big, fast defenders, including the occasional Division I College prospect. To beef up, Maneval is focusing on his bench, clean and squat (which is currently a t-shirt-earning 405 pounds). “My goal is to gain explosiveness,” said the junior lineman. He lifts five days a week, including after school. While tracking impressive lifting totals is a good tool, “it’s not all about how much you lift,” says Ashby. “The emphasis in weight training is to become more explosive, to get stronger, and to be better football players.”

Teen volunteers help beautify San Diego River with mural Teen Volunteers in Action participated on March 31 in the creation of public art for the San Diego River Park, through a partnership with the San Diego River Park Foundation. This new event for TVIA, called the Community Mural Event, was partially funded by TVIA and the Mission Hills Garden Club. Anna Lillian, TVIA’s vice president of philanthropy, said about 100 local TVIA boys and their parents volunteered for this new philanthropic event which helped beautify San Diego. Under the guidance and instruction of local professional artist Thom Guerra, the teens and other volunteers worked all day on the mural which was completed that weekend. This new mural is the sixth in a series located along the river trail in the Mission Valley Preserve. The project was organized by the San Diego River Park Foundation which hopes to connect the community to the river through art that displays the river’s beauty and promotes awareness of restoration and stewardship. The vision of the San Diego River Park is a greenbelt from the mountains to the ocean along the 52-mile San Diego River. This greenbelt is a trail system and a clean and healthy river system that connects parks, open spaces, public places and community facilities along the length of the river. The San Diego River Park Foundation [http://sandiegoriver.org] is partnering with business and civic leaders, government agencies such as the San Diego River Conservancy, and a wide range of other organizations including TVIA. These groups support the preservation of the river’s wildlife, recreation, water and culture, and are committed to community values that engage the public in these efforts. By promoting stewardship of the river and a better understanding of the river’s natural systems, the San Diego River Park Foundation, a community-based, nonprofit grassroots organization founded in 2001, is endeavoring to enhance the quality of life in San Diego. “We would like to thank our partners Teen Volunteers in Action and the Mission Hills Garden Club for helping to make this newest mural project a reality,” said Rob Hutsel, executive director of the San Diego River Park Foundation. TVIA and the San Diego River Park Foundation are dedicated to making this project a treasured regional asset that is valued by all members of the San Diego community. Serving the north coastal communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff, Encinitas and Carlsbad, TVIA [www.tvia.org] is an organization of young men committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal growth. Founded in early 2000, TVIA was created by organizers as a way for parents and their sons to engage together in charitable service and leadership development. Teen Volunteers in Action: volunteering, changing lives.

‘Dream tending’ subject of Friends of Jung lecture Working with dreams plays a large role in Jungian psychology. In an upcoming Friends of Jung lecture, “Dream Tending,” presenter Steven Aizenstat, Ph.D. will describe a method of working with dreams that considers dream images as “living images.” The subject of Aizenstat’s lecture, “Dream Tending,” as described in FOJ’s newsletter, offers the possibility of listening deeply to the voices of the dream images themselves as they come forward to offer their insights and perspective. “To tend a dream is not just to interpret or analyze it, but also to experience its figures and landscapes as alive and moving about. When we tend a dream, images come awake, imagination is animated, and we participate in life more fully rooted in the way of the dream.” Aizenstat is a clinical psychologist and founding president of Pacifica Graduate Institute. He is also a marriage family therapist, a credentialed public schools teacher

and counselor, and author of numerous publications. In his book, “Dream Tending,” Aizenstat describes multiple applications of dream work in relation to health and healing, nightmares, the “World’s Dreams,” relationships, and the creative process. The FOJ lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 20 at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 334 14th Street, Del Mar. (Carpooling recommended.) Cost is $10 for students with ID, $15 for FOJ members and seniors 65 and older, and $20 for nonmembers. Aizenstat will follow his lecture with a workshop which focuses on “the four essential ideas” of dream tending on Saturday, April 21, 10-3 p.m. at Mueller College: Building D, 123 Camino de la Reina, Mission Valley. Cost is $55 for members and $65 for nonmembers. Limited seating. Reservations may be made by sending check to FOJ, PO 2363, Del Mar 92014-1363. For more information, visit www.jungsandiego.com

Local woman’s astral artwork chosen for annual Artwalk event BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net When something isn’t going the way you want, paint over it. That’s the philosophy that Dawn Kureshy said has made her grow as both a painter and a person over the past five years. “It’s that process of letting go of your ego, letting go of expectations in front of the canvas,” said the local resident, whose work was chosen to be featured in the upcoming Mission Federal Artwalk San Diego. “If you can really do that, it can carry over to your day-to-day life. Not that I can do it every day, but that process of being worried about everything, judging yourself, judging other people — when you can let go of that, it’s really very freeing.” This is Kureshy’s third year to participate in the Artwalk, which will take place April 28 and 29 in Little Italy, but it’s her first year to have her own booth at the event. In previous years, she displayed her work as part of a group, but this year her work will be more prominently displayed at the juried event. Kureshy’s paintings are inspired by images of the Universe taken from a hub-

ble telescope. She is fascinated by websites such as www. mydailygalaxy.com, and she prints out photos of her favorite celestial images to recreate on canvas. “I’ve always loved the sky, whether it’s the night sky looking at the moon or just loving the way it looks during the day,” said Kureshy, a St. Louis native. “I don’t know what possessed me to start looking at those sites, but once I did I got hooked on it.” Kureshy said she is fascinated by the color combina-

tions of the cosmos, but the vastness of space enthralls her the most. “It’s just so amazing that those real life images are out there, that they are so far out and greater than us, beyond anything we could ever put on a canvas,” she said. Kureshy has a bachelor’s degree in medical technology and worked for years in laboratories before she began selling medical equipment to labs. She began painting four years ago, and now hopes to move toward making a living as an artist.

‘Reach Out for Haiti’ fundraiser to be held at Zel’s Del Mar A “Reach out for Haiti” fundraiser will be held at Zel’s Del Mar on Sunday, April 22, from 3-9 p.m. Miraculously surviving the earthquake with a broken neck, Edeline Felizor was brought to San Diego for treatment and therapy within days of the disaster. Being sponsored by Byron Shewman (founder/director of Youth Without Borders), Edeline has lived in San Diego the past two years and will speak of her experiences. She will be joined by Pastor Garry Auguste of Port au Prince who will reflect on the tragedy and aftermath of the earthquake as well as the current needs of Haiti. As a volunteer who went to Haiti four days following the earthquake, Shewman worked closely with an American medical team and Pastor Garry in treating injured Haitians. One of the many victims transported to their medical clinic in Port au Prince was Edeline. Shewman and Pastor Garry arranged the transportation of the injured woman to the U.S. Navy hospital ship for surgery which saved her life. Subsequently, they arranged for her transfer to San Diego for therapy which was not available in Haiti. Youth Without Borders supports 20 Haitian orphans and children injured in the earthquake, as well as assists several orphanages and schools. Shewman has been to Haiti 10 times since the earthquake and continues to work closely with Pastor Auguste in Haiti. The public is invited to the event and the rare opportunity to hear first-hand of the plight of Haiti. The event is sponsored by Zel’s Del Mar, Stone Brewing Company, Charles Mondavi winery. For more information, contact Byron Shewman, Youth Without Borders, 619-9341009. Zel’s Del Mar is located at 1247 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar; www.ZelsDelMar.com.

Miracle League Home Run Derby fundraiser is April 21 Don’t miss out on Miracle League of San Diego’s only fundraiser, the 6th annual Home Run Derby to be held on Saturday, April 21, at 10 a.m., at Engel Family Field (San Dieguito Park). Players, buddies, parents, coaches and volunteers of all ages and abilities get to use the same Big Jack bats and balls the Miracle Leaguers use to test their batting prowess. The Miracle League of San Diego is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children with physical and mental disabilities to develop and achieve their full potential: mentally, socially and physically. Sponsor recognition includes name or logo (for professional and home run level sponsors) printed on the back of the official Home Run Derby T-shirt, displayed on a banner at Engel Family Field for one season and recognition on the Miracle League of San Diego website for one year. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Gianna Stone, 858-964-2222 or visit www.miracleleagueofsandiego.org.

“I’ve always wanted to be an artist but my parents were very practical and encouraged be to get a real job, so my artistic yearnings came out in things like crafts and making cards,” said Kureshy. She finally got up the courage to start painting, and later took classes at the San Diego Museum of Art. When those classes ended, she joined the Art Department in North Park, which is part of the San Diego Art Institute. She has a studio in North Park, as well. Kureshy has dozens of

paintings of galaxies and stars and planets, and although she is not sure if she will continue with that theme, she knows she will “stay abstract.” “That same subject is

constantly evolving,” she said. “It will always be there.” For more information on the Mission Federal Art Walk San Diego, visit www. missionfederalartwalk.org.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or Commercial Deed of Trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneďŹ ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Review: RSF Community Concerts’ ‘The Water Coolers’ BY DR. JACK WHEATON “The Water Coolers” started off as an offBroadway musical, winning many awards. The cast was made up of two gals, three guys and their piano-accompanist. Every culture and society throughout history has had a place that was a neutral zone, where personal, professional and other information could be exchanged without concern for who said what to whom. One of our first modern exposures to what goes on in the corporate world around the water cooler occurred in the movie “Nine-to-Five.” Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and others fomented a plot to get rid of or neutralize a senior executive who was making life miserable for the female employees under his supervision. “The Water Coolers” reveal the primary forces at work at the water cooler — with humor, in a typical corporation, office politics, cultural trends, personal problems, sharing of good and bad news and plotting on how to move up the ladder in the corporate world. Each performer had a great Broadway show voice, and could act and dance as well. The show moved lightening fast from one typical water cooler subject to another. The dialogue was hip, the music also (very Stephen Sondheim-ish), and the humor was side-splitting, with the exception of one or two cameos that were a bit too hip for an older Rancho Santa Fe audience, but were greeted with uproarious laughter by the younger set. The first skit was short, and had to do with getting the audience to turn off their cell-phones. Instead of making a stuffy announcement, they (the five singer-dancer-actors) sang the request to a traditional Russian Christmas Carol, sometimes called “The Carol of the Bells. The group went on to assure us, “don’t worry, we’re all crazy too!”... The first subject dealt with in a long list of musical skits was “paranoia.” The name was sung with passion against the wellknown melody of Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus...the subject was discussed, sung, and finalized with a return to Handel. The next skit was sung by the tall brunette soprano...who had a great voice...some dialogue was difficult to understand, but the soprano finalized the trip through paranoialand. Judy, the petite blond was next. Sex entered the subject-arena, with such subjects sung or discussed, such as “trust your instincts,” and “I know you want me.” The next subject was a review of Judy’s work by three male superiors...after dialogue and singing, and after Judy left the stage, one of the guys said to the other two “was she hitting on us! (today’s flirting language). This was a followed by a hilarious selfexamination of each of the three guy’s masculinity. The feminization of the male animal

and masculinization of the female were hot topics discussed, sung and acted on in several skits. We may have been able to put a man on the moon in our recent past, but most of our basic drives are still primitive and primate...a logical and humorously argued subject recurring often in the show. One of the guys launches into a great rendition of “It’s Gotta Be Me!” as part of the situation, another launches into another familiar pop song, “The Great Pretender.” Like humming-birds on a mission, the show flew forward, with a constant burst of energy, creativity and innovation...laughter was loud and almost continuous...and yes, in today’s frantic and frightening world, topical humor is more meaningful and appreciated than gold. Probably the two most popular skits had to do with contemporary problems in this new techno-digital world. The first was the brave attempt to seek help when stuck on what was wrong with your computer by calling the “help” line...of course, you get an electronic voice that puts you through many humiliating experiences before finally connecting you to a live technician...who appears magically, fixes the computer and tells the operator what was wrong — what was wrong? He had forgotten to turn it on! The other skit was the group humiliation of being stuck on the runway in an airplane through several hours of delay...All the skits were entertaining, but these two were royal gems. All this was followed by a brief intermission. I’m glad...the energy and pace of the show gave both audience and entertainers alike a chance to catch their breath. The second half of the show was more of the same, including a typical audience participation skit. It was followed by a typical TV channel that uses an auction event to sell junk to the audience...”a super-duper skit, (“come on down!) One skit pushed the envelope for a RSF audience. The bathroom humor skit did not go over well with many, however, this was the only skit that might have gone too far for the audience. The rest were great and performed well. The closer was a group-sing of “Yes, I’m the Great Pretender,” a la Gladys Night and the Pips...followed by “Gotta Rock!,” a super high-energy closer that brought the audience to their feet, greeting the performers with extended applause. As a pianist myself, I found the piano accompanist of the show to be truly outstanding, never too loud, or too soft or too slow or too fast — he certainly carried the show well on his shoulders. As far as the actor-singer-dancers (yes, the were some great dance moments) were concerned, they all were truly professional... “Mucho gracias” to the RSF Community Concert Committee that picked the artists showcased so far. They have done a great job! Author Dr. Jack Wheaton is a retired USC professor of music; author of many books; composer to several Hollywood film soundtracks; and an Emmy Award winner.
