Top Thoroughbred breeding farm moving to Rancho Santa Fe location BY KAREN BILLING CONTRIBUTOR Golden Eagle Farm, one of the top Thoroughbred breeding farms in California, will soon be making its move from Ramona to Rancho Santa Fe. Owner Larry Mabee, who has been a Ranch resident for more than 20 years, will bring the ranch to the lot on Calzada del Bosque and Via de la Valle. Major landscaping improvements will convert the now dusty, empty lot to the grassy pastures of a horse ranch. The renovation will also bring the vacant mansion on the site

Mabee said he hopes to be before the Art Jury soon on fences, paddocks and all improvements on the site. The 1970s-era, Spanish-style mansion will become a main residence and no new buildings will be added—an existing 21-stall barn and buildings for offices and storage will be See FARM, page 26
Lawsuit filed to halt Flower Hill upgrade The Citizens Against Flower Hill’s Excessive Expansion filed a lawsuit May 10 against the city of San Diego in an attempt to halt Flower Hill Promenade’s renovation plans. The upgrade is expected to begin next month. The plans for refreshing the 30-year-old shopping center on Via de la Valle include replacing the existing UltraStar Cinemas with a Whole Foods, and adding on 29,000 square feet of new retail and boutique office space. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board recommended approval of the revitalization plan and San Diego See LAWSUIT, page 25
BY JOE TASH A documentary about a ferocious but forgotten Korean War battle — produced through the efforts of two Rancho Santa Fe men — is set to be broadcast nationally later this month on public television stations. “Hold At All Costs — The Battle for Outpost Harry,” will show at 9 p.m. on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, on KPBS television in San Diego, and again at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, May 31 and 3 a.m. on Wednesday, June 1. The film chronicles an eight-day battle between U.S. and United Nations forces against North Korean and Chinese troops, which was fought in the waning days of the Korean War in June 1953. The story is told through interviews with survivors and dramatizations, and the film includes commentary by historians, political figures and military

Rancho Santa Fe resident Bob Baker, himself an Army veteran and survivor of the battle, bankrolled the film with a $1 million donation from his foundation. Baker is well-known to San Diego residents as the
founder of a successful chain of auto dealerships. The film was produced and directed by Rancho Santa Fe filmmaker Glenn Palmedo-Smith, who traveled to South Korea, China and Greece to interview participants in the long-ago
battle. Public television stations around the country will broadcast the film over the Memorial Day weekend, including stations in major markets such as New York City, Boston and Los Angeles, said PalmedoSmith. Baker said he decided to commission the film after learning about an association of survivors from the Battle for Outpost Harry, which was an observation post on a hilltop located in what is now the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Since the film’s completion, it has been shown in preview screenings around the country, including a showing on Sunday at the GI Film Festival in Washington D.C., which prompted a standing ovation from the audience, said Linda Smith, PalmedoSee WAR, page 25

It is the intent of the board to include the membership in this process as well as the consideration of any other potential purchases. The current board feels very strongly that before any final commitment is made to purchase open space property the proposal should be voted on by the membership. At our meeting on May 19, the Association will hear a presentation on the merits of the property from the owner’s representative. Should the board elect to proceed with pursuing the purchase, subject to membership vote, the first step would be to authorize an appraisal on the property. Once a price is established the board would conduct a special membership meeting to discuss the property, the terms, and the pros and cons of such a purchase. Membership input during this process would be appreciated.
RSF golfer Teddy Oitzman shines at American Junior Golf Association tournament with hole-in-one Rancho Santa Fe resident Teddy Oitzman, 13, a 7th grade student at Santa Fe Christian School, recently hit a hole-in-one at a pre-season American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournament held earlier this month at Cypress Ridge Golf Club near San Luis Obispo. The following was written by Jake Sittler on an AJGA blog site (www.ajga.org/Blog/index.asp): “The par-3 11th hole at the Preseason Junior at Cypress Ridge Golf Club was not an easy one to tame. It yielded just six birdies over the entire tournament and produced nearly as many bogeys (76) as pars (88). “One player, Teddy Oitzman, found one way to get through it: Knock it out in one shot. With the hole playing at 171 yards and a back-left hole location in breezy Teddy Oitzman conditions, the seventh grader from Rancho Santa Fe, Photo courtesy of American Junior Golf Association Calif., stuck it close and watched it roll in for a hole-inweb site one. (www.ajga.org) “Oitzman’s ace is the sixth of the 2011 AJGA season. In 2010, 28 aces were recorded in AJGA events. Playing in his first AJGA tournament, Oitzman’s hole-in-one came on the fifth par 3 of his AJGA career. He certainly knows how to make an entrance.” In response to his hole-in-one, Teddy said, “It was a really neat experience to hit a holein-one at an AJGA tournament. Hitting a hole-in-one is more luck than anything. I just picked the right club and hit a good shot. It was fun to have people around me to watch it go in.” Teddy has been playing golf since he was 5 years old, but has only been playing competitively for a couple of years. He plays most of his golf at the Bridges Club in Rancho Santa Fe, where he enjoys playing with his friends. When asked to name the players he admires the most in golf, Teddy replied, “My friend Anthony Paolucci, who is currently the number one junior golfer in the country. He is a good role model and friend. I also admire Phil Mickelson. I have talked to him a few times and he’s always been very nice and encouraging.”

New community recycling bin in front of Woodward Center BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Rancho Santa Fe residents can now recycle plastic bottles and aluminum cans in a new community bin in front of the Helen Woodward Animal Center. While doing a favor to the environment, recyclers are also helping out two community groups: Proceeds from the recycling effort will support Solana Santa Fe Elementary School and Helen Woodward Animal Center. The 8-foot-wide and
8-foot-tall container — when full — can bring in about $1,000. Drop-offs can be made anytime during the week at Helen Woodward and on Sundays the container will be at the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers’ Market at Del Rayo Village from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. CR&R Waste and Recycling Services will pick up the bin when full. The company accepts all plastic bottles and aluminum cans marked California Redemption Value (CRV).
They do not accept glass. Renee Resco, director of development at Helen Woodward, said that Solana Santa Fe has always been a helpful neighbor and this latest partnership is just another great example. “We’re really happy to have the opportunity,” Resko said. “This is a really good thing for the whole community to be able to use.” The recycling effort could not come at a better time as a reported 84 per-
RSF Community Center executive director leaving; search ongoing for replacement BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Executive Director Erin Leahey will be leaving her position by the end of the summer. RSF Community Center President Allison Stratton said it is her understanding that Leahey wishes to move back east. “It was her decision and it’s unfortunate she decided to go,” said Stratton. “She’s done a great job and we really valued her work.” Stratton said Leahey is being very flexible about working with the center and will stay on board as long as they need her until they find her replacement. “We’re evaluating all qualified candidates,” Stratton said, noting that they hope to have a new person hired for the position by August. Leahey is still working full-time until then.
cent of disposable water bottles in California are not recycled—more than one billion bottles a year. As the plastic is not biodegradable, the waste can hang around for hundreds of years, contaminating soil and the water supply, as well as clog up landfills and pollute oceans. Stacey Phillips, Solana Santa Fe School parent volunteer, said community service is a big part of what the students learn at school, along with learning about protecting their environment. The recycling project kicked off during the school’s Ocean Week, when Water Bottle Wednesdays began, encouraging parents and children to bring in their recyclables during morning drop-off. Parent volunteers then sorted and delivered the items to the bin across the street. “Each week it’s been better and better,” said Phillips of Water Bottle Wednesdays. “The kids are really into...helping the environment and Helen

Pulitzer Prize-winning author returns to RSF Literary Society Editor’s Note: After a 10year hiatus, Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Michael Cunningham on May 12 at The Grand Del Mar became the first author in the 11-year history of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society’s luncheon series to be invited, by popular demand, to return as a featured speaker. He appeared at this season’s final luncheon. The distinguished authors luncheon series is sponsored by Northern Trust, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and this newspaper. The series will resume in the fall.
BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor One of the great pleasures of writing fiction is you get to know your characters so well, you feel as if you are writing autobiographies. Their lives become your life. So if you’ve ever been tempted to ask a fiction writer if their work is autobiographical, forget it, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Cunningham advises. The answer is: It is autobiographical and it’s not. “None of my characters are directly taken from life,” Cunningham said. “I feel I couldn’t face my family or my friends if I put them in my books, quite so literally. But, of course, I borrow this quality and that quality from people I know and I try to understand my characters so thoroughly that by
the time I’m done writing about them, they all feel autobiographical, including Virginia Woolf [in “The Hours”] and a lizard-like woman from another planet [in “Specimen Days”]. “I try to inhabit them the way an actor might try to inhabit a character.” Cunningham who, after an absence of 10 years in which he produced two more novels and a couple of screenplays, returned as the invited feature speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society’s closing luncheon of the season held on May 12 at The Grand Del Mar. He is considered a major force in American literature. His latest sonata-like novel, “By Nightfall,” published last October, explores the lives of a middle-aged, self-absorbed New York art dealer named Peter Harris, his “cordial, but increasingly remote” art-magazine-editor wife Rebecca, and his wife’s look-alike, but much younger brother, Ethan, a.k.a. “Mizzy,” short for Mistake. Mizzy was the unplanned problem child of Rebecca’s aging parents and the doted-upon darling of Rebecca and her two sisters. He is also a recovering drug addict with an attitude, who arrives at the Harris’s Soho loft for an open-ended visit with the announced intention of “doing something in the art world” after an abor-
tive one-month attempt to learn and practice meditation at a Shinto shine in a remote mountainous region of Japan. The complications begin when heterosexual Peter arrives home early one afternoon from his gallery and hearing the shower running opens the frosted glass shower door — and, for the briefest of moments, mistakes the 23-year-old lean and youthful Mizzy, partially hidden by the steam, for his wife, Rebecca, as she looked when they first married two decades ago. “By Nightfall” is Cunningham’s sixth published novel. Cunningham is best known for his fourth novel, “The Hours,” which won the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and was made into the 2002 Academy Awardwinning film of the same name starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Ed Harris. We interviewed the personable, articulate 58-yearold author in the library of The Grand Del Mar prior to his luncheon address to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. He is the first guest author in the Literary Society’s 11-year history to be invited for a return engagement. He first addressed the Society in January, 2002.

cade, Cunningham said: “Apart from the obvious that I’m 10 years older, with a little bit of gray coming in, (I’m fine with that), I’ve grown more confident about my writing … grown to be a much better writer than the guy who talked to you 10 years ago. But the longer you work at it, the more aware you are of how far you have to go and the gap that still exists between you and Faulkner and Nabokov.” Having said that, as a novelist, he delights in taking chances. If you don’t take chances, he contends, you are not growing as a writer. Cunningham was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was raised in La Cañada, Calif. He earned a degree in English literature from Stanford University. Writing by day and working as a bartender and waiter at night in Los Angeles, Colorado, and Laguna Beach, he collected drawers full of rejection slips. Deciding he’d better sharpen his writing skills, he signed on with the Iowa Writers’ Workshop in 1978 at the University of Iowa and earned his master of fine arts degree. He found himself in a community of aspiring writers who all agreed that “writing a beautiful sentence was the most remarkable thing a person could do.”

Profile
An educational cartoon and an early passion for diving inspire a distinguished career in undersea medicine BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor World renowned dive medicine specialist, researcher and writer, Dr. Tom Neuman was recently honored by Divers Alert Network (DAN) with the 2011 DAN/ Rolex Diver of the Year Award. A practitioner of undersea medicine for more than 35 years, Neuman is a University of California San Diego professor emeritus of clinical medicine and founder of the Hyperbaric Medicine Center at UCSD’s Hillcrest Medical Center. The hyperbaric center uses a pressurized oxygen therapy chamber that can seat up to 12 patients per session to hasten the healing of wounds, infections, carbon monoxide poisoning; and
conditions specifically encountered by divers, including decompression sickness (“the bends”), gas embolisms and gas toxicity. “If you think of oxygen like a pharmaceutical,” Neuman explained, “by breathing the oxygen through a mask or hood at a higher atmospheric pressure, you in essence drive more oxygen to the wound. And many of these wounds are present in the first place because the oxygen supply was deficient either because of bad circulation, bad blood vessels, scarring from radiation, or a whole host of different reasons why oxygen, specifically blood, was not getting to the wounds.” Neuman served as director of the hyperbaric center from its inception in 1984

Neuman, M.D., FACP, FACPM Distinction: UCSD professor emeritus of clinical medicine and practitioner of undersea medicine for more than 35 years, Dr. Neuman was recently honored with the 2011 Dan/Rolex Diver of the Year Award for his research and contributions to dive safety. Born: New York City, 64 years ago Education: A.B., Cornell University, 1967; M.D., New York University School of Medicine, 1971; internship, followed by residency in internal medicine, Bellevue Hospital, New York City, 1971-73; fellowship in pulmonary medicine and physiology, University of California, San Diego, medical center and affiliated hospitals, 1976-78. Military: Served as a U.S. Navy submarine medical officer, 1973-80; and medical officer in the U.S. Naval Reserves, including five years with Reserve Seal Teams, 1980-1996. Family: He and his wife/diving partner, Doris (nee Rubin), who met in college, have been married 41 years. They have two grown children, daughter Allison, 31, who lives in Northern California, and son Russell, 25, who will graduate in June from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in psychology. Pet: Middy, 12-year-old Yellow Lab Interests: Snorkeling and scuba diving, travel related to diving, hiking, fishing, bird hunting and cooking Favorite films: “Casablanca” and “My Cousin Vinny” Philosophy: “You have to look at life realistically and some of the realities of life are: life’s not fair, there’s no free lunch; … and I believe in taking responsibility for your own behavior. You make of life what you put into it.”
until 2006 when he semi-retired. We interviewed Neuman, 64, in his local home, which he shares with his wife and diving companion of 41 years, Doris, and their 12-year-old Yellow Lab, Middy. He still goes to the hyperbaric chamber “infrequently” he admits, attends hyperbaric conferences more frequently, works on research profits continually, and, with his wife, travels the world often in search of the best dive sites. The day we interviewed him he was preparing for a trip to Northern California to dive for abalone. Neuman was born in New York City. His brother, Ron, is a surgeon in Orange County. His Austrian-born father fled the Nazis and immigrated to the U.S. in 1938. During World War II, because he was multilingual (German, French, Italian and English), his father served in the U.S. wartime intelligence agency, the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). After the war, he opened a retail shop, selling yarn and knitting needles. Neuman’s mother, also Austrian-born, served in the Office of Censorship during the war, deciphering codes to track German agents. Neuman was first attracted to the science of medicine as a child while watching a television cartoon featuring “Hemo, the Magnificent.” “It was an educational cartoon about blood,” he recalls. That did it for Neuman. He determined to become a physician. Later, as a teen, coming as he did from a family of swimmers, he soon discovered what was to become another lifetime passion: snorkeling and scuba diving; initially, off the long jetty at Jones Beach during summer vacations in search of lobsters. And he did well academically. Looking back, he says, “I recognize that I have certain assets, by chance or God. I’m smart. There’s no denying it. I’m a smart guy, but I’m also ugly and I don’t play in the sandbox well.
Dr. Tom Neuman (PHOTO: JON CLARK) “I’m horrendously coordinated. When I was a child when kids were choosing baseball teams, I got chosen after the girls. I couldn’t catch a ball and I couldn’t hit a ball with a bat.” So for him to learn how to do anything that required good hand and eye coordination required an immense of practice and work and effort. “Diving came easily to me. Not the physical strength parts of it. Not the swimming fast part of it whenever I would swim fast. But being in the water came easily.” He completed his premed A.B. at Cornell University in 1967; his M.D. from New York University School of Medicine in 1971; and his internship, followed by residency in internal medicine, at Bellevue Hospital, New York City, 1971-73. Under the Vietnam War “Berry Plan,” he was allowed a one-year draft deferment until completion of his medical training, after which, because of his interest in diving, he joined the Navy serving on active duty as a submarine and diving medical officer from 1973 to 1980 and subsequently in the U.S. Naval Reserves until 1996, attaining the rank of captain.
While on active duty, he completed a fellowship in pulmonary medicine and physiology at UCSD in 1978 and afterwards joined the faculty of UCSD School of Medicine as a clinician (emergency, pulmonary and hyperbaric), teacher and researcher. Because of his expertise in diving medicine, for decades, he assisted the San Diego County coroner’s office in the investigation of diving fatalities. He is the contributing author and editor of three books that grew out of his research and experience: “Physiology and Medicine of Diving,” “Physiology and Medicine of Hyperbolic Oxygen Therapy,” and “Investigating Recreational and Commercial Diving Accidents.” What, in his career as a physician, gave him the greatest satisfaction? “I would say that obviously the reason you become a physician is you enjoy and want to help other people. But at the same time, it’s a tremendous intellectual challenge and very satisfying to be able to figure out what’s wrong with people, to advance knowledge and particularly to dispel myths.”
For example, he was instrumental in dispelling the belief that asthmatics shouldn’t dive. He helped prove, in fact, that under the right conditions, asthmatics were under no significantly increased risk for diving accidents. “It was very satisfying to sort of go into the temple and smash that idol,” he said. Another example, he said, is that medical examiners will invariably ascribe every scuba diving death to drowning. “That’s one of those things that doesn’t necessarily make sense. Sure it makes sense if you’re trapped in a wreck and can’t get to the surface, or if you get tied up in a lobster pot, or if you get entangled in kelp and can’t get out, you are going to drown; but that makes absolutely no sense if a guy is swimming back to the boat and all of a sudden turns turtle and is dead.” The most common cause of death among male divers 45 and older is the same as it is for that same age group in the population as a whole, he said: a heart dysfunction that results in what is commonly referred to as a “heart attack” that causes the heart to stop beating. Among young, novice divers, arterial gas embolism (an arterial blockage by air) is probably the leading cause of death, Neuman said, typically occurring when divers run out of air in their tank, panic, and even though they are taught not to, hold their breath while ascending to the surface. Contrary to popular belief, he said, “People hardly ever die from the bends [a form of decompression sickness]. “In all my years in diving medicine, I have only seen two deaths related to the bends.” What does he love so much about diving? “Just being there,” he said. “I generally don’t take pictures. Unless I’m going up to Northern California for abalone, I’m not much of a spear fisherman anymore. I used to that when I was a young man. I just like looking around. I like being with my wife in the water.”

Quintessential art gallerist makes a bold, new move BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor This month, longtime gallerist Mark Quint is starting off his second 30 years on the art scene in a whole new space. Quint, whose original 1981 gallery was a tiny place on La Jolla Boulevard flanked by Margaret’s Cleaners and D.G. Wills Books, will have the grand opening of his latest and largest venue on Saturday, May 21 in the 3000-square-foot former home of Jane’s Fabrique on Girard Avenue. All these years, in different locations, he has specialized in bringing a broad range of regional and international artists to local attention. Some call him the man who put San Diego’s art world on the map. In fact, there aren’t many art dealers who have been honored as he was in 2009, with an exhibit at California Center for the Arts in Escondido called “Quint: Three Decades of Contemporary Art.” “I can’t think on any individual who has done more to elevate and promote contemporary art here than Mark Quint,” said Hugh Davies, director of the Museum of Contemporary
Quint is all about making connections. He has had galleries around the county — from downtown to Miramar — and one of his greatest achievements was InSite, a border-crossing biennial event he created in 1992 to encourage collaborations between artists and institutions in San Diego and Tijuana. “There were so many venues all over, public and private ones, galleries, museums and universities, and there were just no connections,” he said. “I came up with the name InSite and really liked it. It suggested something insightful, and also the idea of inciting, creating a fire under people.” His inaugural exhibition on Girard, enigmatically titled “Behind What It Is In Front Of,” will display the connection between the sculptures and videos of Roy McMakin, a UCSD-educated, Seattle-based furniture designer, and one of the artists who inspired him, John McLaughlin (1898-1976). McLaughlin, considered the father of West Coast minimalism, was himself influenced by Japanese art and the linear abstractions of Piet Mondrian. McMakin
If you go What: Inaugural exhibition and reception “Behind What It’s In Front Of,” paintings by John McLaughlin, sculptures and videos by Roy McMakin When: 6-10 p.m. Saturday, May 21, Where: Quint Contemporary Art, 7547 Girard Ave. RSVP: sarah@quintgallery.com Contact: (858) 4543409 Art San Diego (MCASD). “He put the Mark in remarkable! His impact on the local art scene has been huge and sustained, and we all owe him a great debt. … He’s a brilliant art man, but a decidedly mediocre golfer.” Of his success, Quint said, “I really like working with creative people. So everything starts off with the connection between myself and the artists. Then I try to connect them with other interested people — curators and collectors.”
Roy McMakin’s playful take on one of John McLaughlin’s paintings. PHOTO: TODD JOHNSON used pieces of vintage furniture found at swap meets and thrift stores to create his own playful take on McLaughlin’s hard-edge,
Zen-cool paintings. This will be McMakin’s sixth show for Quint. “I like how eclectic he is,” Quint said. “He works in
so many media — painting, sculpture, photography, architectural design — and I like the whimsical nature of his work.” Quint, who grew up in La Jolla, went to art school in San Francisco, taught at an Episcopal girls’ prep school in Hawaii (”a lot like the Bishop’s School at its beginnings,” he said) and after some years of teaching and surfing, moved back here for good. Today, he lives in the family home he was raised in. Two weeks before the opening, Quint stood in the midst of his new space, where the only things on display were paint buckets and ladders. He looked relaxed and happy. “I like renovating spaces,” he said. “You get a whole new chance and a whole new crowd to come and see what you’re doing. And this is by far the most visible gallery I’ve ever had.” The opening of Quint’s new gallery establishes another connection: a post-reception dinner will take place in next-door-neighbor Harry’s Coffee Shop (first opened in 1960), neatly connecting the contemporary and the classic.

Q&A
The dramas of life play out in the work of Stephen Metcalfe Stephen Metcalfe’s career has touched all forms of dramatic writing —screen, television and stage. His first screenplay was “Jacknife” starring Robert De Niro, Ed Harris and Kathy Bates, directed by David Jones. The adaptation of French director Jean-Claude Tachella’s “CousinCousine” followed, directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Ted Danson, Isabella Rossellini, WilStephen Metcalfe liam Peterson, Sean Young and Lloyd Bridges. In the early ‘90s, Metcalfe took the darkly realistic, “3000” and turned it into “Pretty Woman” starring Julia Robert and Richard Gere directed by Garry Marshall. Numerous rewrites followed. Among them “Arachnophobia,” “It Could Happen to You,” “The Air Up There,” “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” “The Marrying Man” and “Dangerous Minds.” Metcalfe has adopted both stage plays and novels. His play, “Emily,” was done for Paramount Pictures. “Time Flies,” by Paul Link, was adopted for producer Laura Ziskin. A.R. Gurney’s “The Old Boy,” was written for Touchstone Pictures, and Peter Mayle’s comic novel, “Anything Considered,” was done for producer Stanley Jaffe and Sony Pictures. In 2002, Metcalfe wrote and directed the independent film “Beautiful Joe” starring
Sharon Stone and Billy Connolly. His stage plays include “Loves & Hours,” “Vikings,” “Strange Snow,” “Sorrows and Sons,” “Pilgrims,” “Half a Lifetime,” “Emily,” “White Linen,” “Divirtimenti,” “The Incredibly Famous Willy Rivers,” and “White Man Dancing.” His television credits are also numerous. Who or what inspires you? I began teaching about six years ago; playwriting and screenwriting at UCSD and USD. It started as a lark and has turned into something I enjoy very much. I find the enthusiasm, idealism and commitment of the young people I work with very inspirational. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Sir Lawrence Olivier, Paul Newman, William Shakespeare, Ingrid Bergman, My neighbor Colin Haggerty (but only if he brings the wine), Hugh Hefner (but only if he brings dates), Bruce Springsteen (if he’ll bring his guitar), and Arthur Ashe. Of course, my wife Claudia would have to host it with me; 1) because she’s an incredible host and 2) I couldn’t host my own funeral. Tell us about what you are currently reading. The play, “Jerusalem,” by Jez Butterworth; the screenplay, “Chinatown,” by Robert Towne; the weekly output of some 20 writing students at UCSD; and for the morn-
ing constitutional, “Shogun,” by James Clavell. Heads roll, geishas flutter and people scream things like – “Kasigi!!! Row!! Row for your lives!”
fanatic but, thank God, came to my senses. I recently began a blog — only semi-serious, mostly fictional, hopefully, a little bit funny. http://thedesperateman.blogspot.com/
What are your five all-time favorite films? “Cinema Paradiso,” “Godfather I and II,” “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Apocalypse Now,” and “Annie Hall.” (I could name 50.) What is your most-prized possession? I’m not big on possessions. I’m very big on friends and family.
Please describe your greatest accomplishment. Hopefully, my next one.
What do you do for fun? I am a tennis fanatic. I used to be a golf
What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Life has meaning in the living. Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved. It is in the being, not in the becoming.” —Anonymous

Researcher treks across Sahara to raise awareness for PKU disease Professor Raymond Stevens, who directs the structural neurobiology program at Scripps Research Institute, completed a six-day, 156mile ultra-marathon across the African Sahara Desert in April to raise awareness of a disease called phenylketonuria (PKU). A rare, inherited metabolic disorder, PKU patients are unable to metabolize an essential amino acid called phenylalanine, which puts them at risk for severe neurological complications, including IQ loss, memory loss, concentration problems, mood disorders, and in some cases, severe mental retardation. Stevens obtained his spot in last fall’s lottery among ultra-marathon running enthusiasts for the opportunity to compete in the 900-person race, which got underway April 3. Called “Marathon des Sables,” it has been described as “the toughest footrace in the world.” The course is not revealed until the day before the race begins, but it weaves over uneven, rocky ground and massive sand dunes in southern Morocco, where daytime temperatures

exceed 130°F. Competitors are required to carry all belongings, including food. The only exceptions are group tents and water. Water is handed out in rationed portions at checkpoints. “This event for me in part symbolizes PKU drug discovery and all of the re-
searchers, families, foundations in the PKU community that have come together with the common goal of finishing a long drug discovery race,” said Stevens, who wrote about his adventures on the website of the National PKU Alliance, where Stevens serves on the scientific advisory board. “Running this race is like developing treatments for PKU — three steps forward, one step back, but one just has to keep moving forward and eventually one WILL cross the finish line.” In breakthrough findings, Stevens’ group solved the structure of the liver-produced enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), deficient in people with PKU. On the first day of the Marathon des Sables, Stevens said he felt as ready as he was going to be. He trained in a 160° sauna. He ran “a lot.” And, with his doctor, he tried to manage the tendinitis that sprung up from overtraining in his left ankle and the shin of his left leg, although neither had fully healed. In the preceding days, he also packed and repacked his supplies, trying to mini-

RSF resident and other students offer free online English tutoring to foreign students Service learning at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, encourage lifelong civic engagement, and strengthen communities for the common good. For Maddie Sparber, a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, and 11 other classmates, the opportunity to link with students in Korea to offer free English tutoring became a calling. Pacific Ridge School faculty member Kyle Strong worked at Paedea Academy in Seoul as both a researcher on second lan- (Left to right): Carter Triana, Katie Dillon, RSF guage acquisition and a teacher of writing resident Maddie Sparber for middle school students. He brought his experiences to the service learning curriculum at Pacific Ridge School and the concept to offer free, online English tutoring became a reality. Today, the service learning group, Lingo Online, benefits students at Paedea Academy as well as college students in Seoul. Lingo Online is giving students overseas an opportunity to converse in English and to request help in increasing vocabulary and improving grammar. After posting an advertisement for the free online tutoring in a community online forum at a university in Seoul, Pacific Ridge students received over 1,000 responses. Now the Lingo Online group connects for one hour each week with college students and a half hour each week with elementary students. Pacific Ridge School students prepare the materials and lesson plans and incorporate Skype for live chats. “Our group’s guiding philosophy is that education should be accessible worldwide, and that English and teaching can be a conduit for cultural interchange,” said Strong. “It’s important for our community to know that anyone can do this by establishing an online connection with someone who wants to practice English and learn from a native speaker.” As Maddie and her classmates continue to connect with students overseas through shared language, they also hope to develop a deeper understanding of their own language and learn new ways to present English to international students. Lingo Online is in the process of designing a website to post video lessons for everyone to access. The group’s longterm goal is to raise enough money through contributions to be able to buy computers for under-privileged schools that wish to pursue online language tutoring and cultural dialogue.

Deliciás Restaurant launches new menu Deliciás Restaurant, one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most well-known fine dining spots, has recently completed a successful transition of its menu in response to the changing North San Diego County dining landscape. The new menu is more family-friendly and boasts some better price points, without sacrificing the unique quality for which the restaurant has become known. Executive Chef Michael Knowles, who boasts an extensive resume, including a couple stints with Wolfgang Puck, has successfully transformed the Deliciás menu, firing up the wood-burning pizza oven in addition to creating several hand-made-daily signature pasta dishes for the menu. “We have had a fabulous response to our new menu items”, Chef Michael states. We still have a lot of our customer’s favorites, but the new additions have been extremely well-received.” Owen Perry, owner of Deliciás, shared his feelings: “Deliciás has long been a favorite of North County residents, particularly our Rancho Santa Fe neighbors, for that special meal and special occasion. But with the new menu options, our customers can dine here more frequently and with their families. I live in the Ranch with my family and we wanted to listen to and respond to what our customers were telling us.” In addition to nightly specials, one of the other additions to the menu is an extensive $5 Tapas Menu, featuring some very tasty treats, such as lamb meatballs with a cauliflower puree, Prosciutto de Parma and more. In addition, Deliciás always has a special kids’ menu. Delcias is located at 6106 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091; (858) 756-8000;

R. Roger Rowe School students to enjoy Field Day On May 27, from 8:30 a.m.-noon, students at R. Roger Rowe School will, quite literally, have a good old-fashioned “Field Day!” Students in grades K-6 will set their books aside for the day to take part in foot races, jumping and throwing events, along with justfor-fun activities, such as gunnysack races and three-legged partner races. The day recognizes students in the area of athletics and gives the opportunity for team play, healthy competition, and good outdoor recreation as part of the physical education program at the school. JW Tumbles will be in the lower play area leading kindergarten and first-grade students in a variety of games and fun fitness activities. Grades 2 through 6 will be on the field for more traditional track-and-field events including long jump, high jump and hurdles. Grades 7 and 8 have academic olympic events in class. Field Day is a long-time tradition at R. Roger Rowe School. Former superintendent Dr. Rowe, brightens up to speak about the popular annual event. “The first Field Day was in the spring of 1957 and was conceived by Mr. & Mrs. Al Dutton, who had two children at the school.” Dr. Rowe continues, “Back then we kicked off Field Day with all the students in a parade around the field with the Star Spangled Banner, the state flag, and the Pledge of Allegiance.” Traditionally on a Friday shortened to a half-day, Field Day is a fun-filled celebration of school spirit. Students proudly exhibit school colors and wear school Spirit Wear, which has been available for purchase at school events throughout the year. To keep students fueled, parents are being asked to donate orange slices, watermelon wedges, bagels and cream cheese, which will be distributed at the picnic tables. Matt Basham, general manager of The Village Market, will be delivering approximately 600 bottles of water and ice to the school field – the fourth year the Market has provided free water for Field Day. For the third year in a row, Rancho Sandwich owner Tim Cusac will be transporting one of his frozen soft-serve yogurt machines to the field. The popular “mini” cups of vanilla and chocolate frozen yogurt will be sold at the discounted price of $2.00 each, and 50 cents from each will be donated back to the Foundation. The event is organized by the RSF Education Foundation and its parent volunteers. The Foundation thanks The Village Market and Rancho Sandwich/Caffe Positano, as well as this year’s well-organized volunteer Field Day Chair, Samantha Walker.

Cancer Fitness founders use personal experience to help others BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer Seated at a Del Mar coffee shop, Susan Webster and Deb Snyder banter and share honest, hearty laughs. There exists between them the kind of relaxed closeness you’d expect from lifelong friends — but these women actually just met a little over a year ago during a chance encounter at the Tri-City Wellness Center in Carlsbad. “I was splashing around in the pool there,� recalled Snyder, who at the time had just completed chemotherapy for Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. “I had a scarf on my head and I was thin as a rail because of the chemotherapy, so it was pretty obvious I was a cancer patient.� Webster, who was working as a swim instructor that day, took note of Snyder’s weakened condition and said “something just compelled me to go talk to her.� That “something,� she now realizes, was the fact that she saw a reflection of her former herself in Snyder because she too had fought her own battle with breast cancer. “I told her that I once looked just like her,� Web-
ster recalled. “I told her that even after cancer, I was able to regain my health. And I told her I would help her do the same thing.� “When she told me that I was just thrilled,� Snyder chimed in. “Here she was, healthy and strong. And here I was, skinny and bald. It gave me hope.� That moment would prove to forge a deep and profound bond between the women. Webster has also since delivered on the promise made that day, helping Snyder to regain her strength through oneon-one training. “After she helped me, we both looked at each other and said, ‘We should do this for other people,’� Snyder said. That planted the seed for North County Cancer Fitness (NCCF), a nonprofit the women founded to help people regain their health as they are enduring cancer treatment, or right after treatment. “The battle is not over after chemotherapy, and I think the majority of patients don’t realize that,� explained Webster, who is a personal trainer and cancer fitness trainer certified by the American College of
Deb Snyder and Susan Webster Sports Medicine. Proper nutrition and exercise help fend off cancer occurrence, she added, but most patients don’t understand that they must exercise differently after they’ve been through chemotherapy or radiation. Those treatments can weaken bones and age the heart, for example, which means that exercise plans must be tailored with that in mind. “Our goal is to be a guide for people, and to say we’re here for you because we’ve been there,� Webster said. Therefore, NCCF offers a medley of classes, support,
training and resources all aiming to improve the overall quality of life for cancer patients. The program costs $60 a month, although there are scholarships for those who cannot afford it. Participants have access to tailored exercise programs; nutritional classes, such as “Fighting Cancer with a Fork�; are matched with nutritionists, acupuncturists, massage therapists and other health-care providers who offer complementary services to cancer patients; and can attend support groups, like a casual ‘Taco Tuesday’ meet-up. “Our program is not a
fix-all, but there are parts of this program that help everyone, even if that’s just sharing a taco and muchneeded laugh during ‘Taco Tuesday,� Snyder said. “Plain and simple, we change lives.� Both women stressed that NCCF would not be able to change those lives without the stellar support from the Tri-City Wellness Center. That support has also allowed them to expand their mission. Though NCCF began as a means to help women with breast cancer, the mission has now been expanded to include men and is open to patients with all forms of cancer. The women would like to see more operations like NCCF in the future, but, ultimately, they hope to live in a world where there is a cure for cancer so there would no longer be a need for them. Until that day, the women said they both committed to helping others. “We do this because we genuinely care about people, and we know what they’re going through,� said Webster, whose cancer is now in remission, although she still keeps the port used during her treatment in a box on her desk so she can
be reminded daily of what she’s overcome. “Our goal is to offer hope to people who right now don’t know which way to turn.� “We share a desire to help people navigate what we’ve been through, but with an easier path,� added Snyder, whose cancer is stable, meaning it’s under control. To say cancer has impacted her life would be an understatement. She has lost her aunt, both of her parents, and her three siblings to cancer. Her son has also battled cancer. All of that, she said, makes her work with NCCF that much more meaningful. “This is the most exciting thing I’ve done in my life and I’ve never been so fortified. I get up in the morning and put on my shoes and say ‘OK, this is what I’m working with today’ and I keep going. This is a reason to keep living. We are changing people’s lives, plain and simple. We both get excited and tearyeyed talking about the work we do, but that’s because it’s real.� For more information about NCCF, including volunteer opportunities, please visit northcountycancerfitness.org or call 760-683-9105.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Coyote attack on tiny puppies brings out the fighter in ‘Rocky’ When a coyote attacked a litter of Shepherd-blend puppies the “runt” seemed doomed. But now, “Rocky” has fought back and is expected to become available for adoption this week at Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) in Rancho Santa Fe. Center officials are warning the public that this is “Coyote puppy season” and that all pets are considered at-risk when they are outdoors. “Rocky is a 2-month-old puppy that was transferred to us from a Los Angeles County Rescue,” says HWAC spokesman John Van Zante. “We were told that he was grabbed by a coyote. At less than 5 pounds, he’s about half the size of the five other puppies in the litter, which made him easy prey. We have no idea how he managed to get away, but he paid the price with a gaping, open wound that ran the length of his left side.” Van Zante says that Rocky’s wound was stitched up and he doesn’t seem to be showing any long-term effects. “Our staff veterinarian, Dr. Heather Carter, says that Rocky will have some scar tissue from such a large wound. The skin on his left side might be a bit tight as he matures. But we’re confident that he’ll grow up to be a happy, healthy, 40 pound family dog.” “Rocky’s siblings seem to understand that their little brother is special,” says Van Zante. “Eight-week old puppies are generally all over each other, romping and playing. The other puppies are taking it easy on Rocky. They seem to sense that he can’t play as rough as they do.” Last week a neighbor called the Center reporting that a coyote had attacked and killed his dog, leaving him with a litter of six, 1-week-old Chihuahua puppies that require bottle feeding. “This can happen to puppies or kittens, adult dogs and cats, large or small. The coyotes are feeding their pups and that means they need food. If it’s edible, it’s fair game. And you don’t have to be in a rural area. I’ve seen coyotes in Balboa Park. Don’t take the chance.” “Rocky’s” adoption fee will be $295 plus a one-time microchip registration fee. His adopting family will receive two passes to SeaWorld and a certificate for a one-night stay at Club Pet boarding at HWAC.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families
Possible solution to Village parking problem
Making good on New Year’s resolutions
For the second week in a row the subject of “lack of parking in the Village” has been the topic in this space. The “ambiance” of our historic, priceless “Village” has been dying a slow death for quite some time now, due to the lack of attention to this critical issue. Robb Dalton and Mrs. McNally are correct. Soon there will be no viable reason for residents –or anyone else, for that matter, to visit the Village, other than getting the mail. I have had a concept in the back of my head for many years now and wonder why I have seen no one else broach the subject. Of course, at my age, I probably am plagiarizing the idea, but have forgotten the source. The perfect solution, in my mind, would be an underground parking structure, located in the “park” in front of The Inn, bounded by La Gracia, La Flecha and Avenida de Acacias. Just scoop out the dirt, deep enough to build a 3-4-story subterranean structure, which could park 20-30 (or more)

Smith’s wife. The film was also shown to veterans at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and in 2010, at an annual gathering of Outpost Harry survivors in San Diego. “It’s been one of my dreams for 50 years, to tell the story that no one seems to understand, what happens to men in combat,” said Baker. “I wanted to get the story told and leave something to my children and grandchildren and their children about what their grandfather did while he was in the service.” Palmedo-Smith said some 80,000 heavy artillery shells went off each night during the battle, and the fighting also took place in trenches, hand-to-hand, with knives, bayonets and grenades, causing heavy casualties on both sides. Baker said winning the battle was important, because it prevented the North Korean and Chinese troops from reaching a valley that led directly to Seoul, the South Korean capital. Palmedo-Smith said he initially envisioned the project as a modest film involv-
ing interviews with a dozen or so of Baker’s war buddies. But as he began filming interviews, he saw its scope widen, and Baker agreed that he could pursue the story as far as it would take him, including several overseas trips, for which Palmedo-Smith said he is grateful to Baker. “What this film does, by introducing intimately to the audience these participants and really caring about them, is put a face to the entire three-year conflict,” said Palmedo-Smith. “The scars those people have lived with are as fresh to them as any experience that human beings have.” Making the film also changed the way he looks at war veterans. “This experience really opened my eyes that veterans are my father and uncles or brothers, or sisters or aunts… they are us. Growing up, that message was lost on me,” Palmedo-Smith said. “What started off as a humdrum job for me ended up being an adventure of a lifetime,” he said. Palmedo-Smith’s next project is a documentary about Ellis Ruley, an AfricanAmerican artist whom Palmedo-Smith said was mur-
dered by the Ku Klux Klan in Connecticut in 1959. For a complete broadcast schedule for the “Hold At All Costs,” the Korean War documentary, visit the website of the Outpost Harry Survivors Association at www.ophsa.org.

LAWSUIT City Council approved the project in April. The opposition group has argued that the expansion plan is larger in size than anything in the area and has compared the expansion to creating a new Mission Valley in the San Dieguito River Valley. Robert Vicino, a Flower Hill neighbor who has served as a spokesman for Citizens Against Flower Hill’s Excessive Expansion, was out of town and unavailable for comment by presstime. “The City Council’s unanimous vote of approval for the Flower Hill Promenade revitalization speaks for itself,” said Chris Wahl, project spokesman for Flower Hill. “We are confident that the courts will agree with the City’s conclusion.” — Karen Billing

agent. After Iowa, he vowed, no matter what, he would finish a novel, good or bad, (“It just had to have a beginning, a middle and an end”), and get it published before he turned 30. He succeeded. “Golden States” became his first novel. “I wrote it in a summer and it was published in 1980,” he said. He continued bartending “until, after 10 years, when I couldn’t stand making one more margarita, I moved to New York.” When he’s writing, he has a four-hour minimum. “I get up in the morning and get to my studio, which is separate from my apartment, by around 9 o’clock. And I sit at the computer for at least four hours, even on the days when nothing seems to be happening because the creative act can be maddeningly unpredictable. “On a good day, I can sit there for up to six or seven hours.

It makes me feel like a guy with a job. “When I’m done for the day, when I’ve sat in my studio all day, feeling like a figure of my own imagination, I just can’t wait to run out into the streets of New York City where there are people singing arias with their hair on fire and gypsy caravans and all that. “I’m still very enchanted with New York,” he admitted, although Greenwich Village, where he lives, is no longer the artists’ magnet it used to be because the rents are so high, as much as $3,000 a month for a darkroom-size studio.” Brooklyn, with its cheaper rents, has become a major draw for young artists, much like Paris was in the 1920s. In fact, Cunningham has just sold the idea for a new HBO pilot comedy series about a writer in Brooklyn striving to write the great American novel. He is also working on a new novel. Asked the state of the novel these days, he said: “I think the novel is in fine shape…I know readership is down and that’s unfortunate, but there will always be novels and people who will read them. And, we as
novelists may have to abandon our grander illusions of wealth and international fame. “But if you started writing fiction for wealth and international fame in the first place, you probably want to reconsider your motives.” As for the electronic books upsurge and many authors choosing to publish electronically, sometimes bypassing traditional print publishers, Cunningham said: “It’s inevitable. And it would be foolish to rail against it. A system that makes more books, more readily available, for more people, I think is great and it’s good for literature.” Throughout his career, Cunningham has taught creative writing in various venues, including the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass., and in the MFA programs at Brooklyn College and Columbia University. He is currently professor of creative writing at Yale University. He lives in New York with his partner of some 25 years, psychoanalyst Ken Corbett. While being gay obviously informs his work, he considers himself first and foremost a writer who hap-
pens to be a gay man. “That tendency of publishers and bookstores to categorize writers is on the wane. It’s much less of a problem than it was when we spoke 10 years ago. And that’s only going to get better, I hope.”

cal tent were busy “fixing a lot of feet.” The second day’s course consisted of about 24 miles, followed by a third day of another 24 miles. Stevens said he struggled with increasing nausea from dehydration and vomited twice near the third day’s final checkpoint. The next day presented the longest stretch — 51 miles — and one of the hottest days of the race. After the first 18 miles, Stevens was so dehydrated he was put on an IV (one IV is allowed per participant; require a second and you are forced to withdraw from the race). “I had to lay in the sand with a needle in my arm that cost me time,” Stevens wrote, “but after 1 liter of saline solution and 1.5 liters of glucose solution, I felt great being fully hydrated and
managed to run 32 miles straight to the long stage finish line, crossing at 3:58 a.m.” He noted he was especially motivated to complete the stage before the sun came up on the fifth day; rumors had been circulating around camp that temperatures were reaching 131°F. By the sixth day, the 26-mile marathon stage, Stevens “had his head down, just putting one foot in front of another.” Finally, came day seven, 11 miles … and then the finish line! Was the race was worth it? “Absolutely,” he said. “I enjoyed it fully, which is easier to say now the pain has gone away.” He added that his favorite part was “turning off my headlamp in the middle of the night on the 51-mile-long stage and running up the cold dunes in the dark looking at the stars.” Would he run the race again? “No way,” he laughed. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime dream.”

renovated. The property is a little over 25 acres on three parcels, only part of it is located in the Rancho Santa Covenant. “We’ve done quite a bit of design work,” said Mabee, noting that before any construction can begin they have to do work on fire main, electrical and sewer issues. Mabee said they’ve also run into a variety of issues in the upstream area of the 100-year-flood plain that need to be resolved. Since it was founded 1972 by John and Betty Mabee, Golden Eagle Farm has
developed a strong reputation in the racing world— last year Golden Eagle-bred “Evening Jewel” was named California-bred “Horse of the Year” by the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association. Mabee said the farm in Ramona has been downsized dramatically in preparation for the move. Before Mabee purchased the RSF lot in August 2007, the site had been considered by the Rancho Santa Fe School District as a possible new school. Proposition E was put on the ballot the next year and its passage provided the funding for the renovation of the Rowe campus. For more information on Golden Eagle Farm, visit www.goldeneaglefarm.com.

Celtic mythology has last laugh in ‘A Dram of Drummhicit’ BY DIANA SAENGER Staff Writer Playwrights Arthur Kopit and Anton Dudley’s world premiere musical, “A Dram of Drummhicit” which opened May 17 at the La Jolla Playhouse, is based on an article in the London Times about fairies stopping a construction project in Scotland. Artistic Director Christopher Ashley helms the comedy that runs in the Mandell Weiss Theatre through June 12. The story evolves around Robert Bruce (Murphy Guyer from Broadway’s “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”), an American entrepreneur who is building a luxurious golf course on an island in Scotland. When major problems “arise,” Bruce beckons his “fixer” Charles Pearse to come to Scotland. “It seems there’s a report about bog bodies popping up and stopping the construction,” said Lucas Hall, who plays Charles. “So I must fix the problem. And this is a real occurrence that happened around these islands, as the bodies buried there didn’t decompose because of the iron chemicals in the ground and they would occasionally pop up in the

brine.” Although it sounds like a horror story “A Dram of Drummhicit” is far from it. The hint’s in its title – dram meaning a “wee bit” and Drummhicit, a fictional name for Scottish ale. Also, many of the scenes take place in a pub. Hall has performed OffBroadway and in the tour of “The Merchant of Venice,” “Othello,” “The Hasty Heart” and “The Tempest,” among others and twice at the Old Globe. He said he couldn’t remember the last time
he’s had so much fun working in a play. “Part of it is my character. He goes on such a wild journey. In the beginning, of course, I don’t believe in fairies, but at what point does one get over one’s cynicism and go with the flow because you believe it so strongly? I also love this story because it’s magical and mythical and the characters are so exciting. “The story requires a big cast because it’s important to create the community of the town in Scotland, and who these people are. We’re lucky to use a lot of UCSD students — some have roles that were in the script and some are just used in pub scenes. I’m impressed by their abilities; they are all fabulous.” Hall said the cast is also fortunate that playwright Arthur Kopit (“Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad,” “Indians” — Tony-nominee, finalist for Pulitzer Prize and “Wings” – Tonynominee, finalist for Pulitzer Prize) is on the set. “He’s got the answers to anything and is so accessible,” Hall explained. “And there’s a great collabo-

chapter into the character.” Although the play contains strong language and some adult content, Hall is excited that “A Dram of Drummhicit” will appeal to a wide audience.

Artists’ touch brought to Fresh Start’s kids center at Rady hospital
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Two local artists have brightened the walls of Fresh Start’s Craniofacial Kids Center at Rady Children’s Hospital. Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, a non-profit organization, provides reconstructive dental and plastic surgery for children and young adults, free of charge. The state-ofthe-art center opened in September 2009. Solana Beach-based artist Christie Beniston was selected to create two murals for the center. One is dedicated to the memory of the founder of Fresh Start, the late Dr. Dennis Nigro. It will soon be installed in the clinic lobby. And the second piece recognizes philanthropist, Jeanne Cox Brady, which will be installed in the patient area. Inspiration for both designs came from their respective biographies and life work. It was a privilege to honor Dennis Nigro, said Beniston. “He was such an impressive human being.” Nigro, who founded Fresh Start in 1991, passed away before the
center was completed. Jeanne Cox Brady’s generosity resulted in a multi-million dollar endowment that helped Nigro’s vision of the center come to light, and continues to provide funds that will sustain Fresh Start in perpetuity. The mural that honors Nigro includes flowers which represent hope, and a caterpillar, a precursor to the patient’s transformation, set in a night and day background, symbolic of renewal, said Beniston. The symbolism used in the Cox Brady’s piece is based on the fully transformed butterflies and full bloom flowers which represent the change that patients experience after their treatments. Heart motifs also represent Cox Brady’s gift and the love and caring that patients receive. Glass tiles and hand fired and glazed ceramic inserts comprise the mosaics. In addition to the murals, Rancho Santa Fe’s Deeba Van Overbergha created a hand-painted decorative mural on the clinic lobby wall that incorporates Fresh Start’s logo of four hearts that form a butterfly.

fect, disease, accident or abuse,” said Michelle Pius, director of Major Gifts. With insurance deeming more and more deformities as cosmetic, the charity ensures that all
children get the medical attention they need regardless of their family’s ability to pay, she added. Fresh Start partnered with Rady Children’s Hospital to build the new 7,800-sq.-ft. clinic which houses 22 pre- and post-operative patient rooms. The center was the brain child and passion of Dennis Nigro, M.D, F.A.C.S. and Steven R. Cohen, M.D., F.A.C.S. “This remarkable collaboration has been 10 years in the making,” said Cohen. “Our team of internationally recognized experts now has a center of its own to help children with complex facial differences and functional problems with the jaws and airway.” Every six-seven weeks throughout the year Fresh Start holds “Surgery Weekends.” Volunteers, which include medical teams and support staff, serve the needs of infants, children and young adults who require surgery but do not have the financial resources to pay for them. Fresh Start has a holistic approach to this treatment. “We do not just do the plastic
surgery, for example for a cleft lip and palate. We do all of the reconstructive surgery with orthodontics, dental implants, speech therapy and scar revision and reduction,” Pius explained. “A child with this type of deformity could expect to be in our program for seven years. Children do not age out of the program.” There is no cost to the patients or their families. Transportation, food and lodgings, for those outside of San Diego, is all covered by Fresh Start which is run entirely off donations, 100 percent of which go directly to children’s treatment. Fresh Start patients receive services throughout the year at the center with six “Surgery Weekends, Speech Clinics, Laser Clinics, and 14 Dental Clinics.” Services are provided by a team of 450 medical volunteers and 150 non-medical volunteers. Since incorporation in 1991, Fresh Start has provided more than $20 million worth of free medical services with 5,000 patients receiving fresh starts.

A chat with Pat Boone — and enjoy an evening with him at Tommy V’s It’s hard to say the name Pat Boone without attaching the word legendary. That is truly the correct description of Boone’s career, which includes 45 million albums sold, 38 Top 40 hits and appearances in several Hollywood movies. His talent as a singer and actor, combined with his old-fashioned values, contributed to his popularity in the early days of rock and roll and continue to this day. According to Billboard, Boone was the second biggest charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley. He is ranked at No. 9 in its listing of the “Top 100 Top 40 Artists 19551995” and Boone still holds the Billboard record for spending 220 consecutive weeks (that’s more than four years) on the charts with more than one song. Boone continues to perform today and he enjoys speaking as a motivational speaker, a television personality, a conservative political commentator and even a preacher on occasion. Boone will be the very special guest for the aptlynamed “An Evening with
Pat Boone Pat Boone and Friends” on Thursday, May 26, at Tommy V’s restaurant in Del Mar. He will share some thoughts, sing a few songs and join local favorites The North Coast Quintet (featuring members The Joe Satz Trio) on stage as the entertainment for the evening. The event will celebrate America and its military, both past and present, with proceeds benefiting Ryan’s Reach, one of the many charities Boone supports, plus the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club, known for the many worthwhile causes they support. To attend contact: event.sextonadvisorygroup.com to reserve tick-

Pat: My wife has been begging me to think about retirement for a few years now because certainly I’m around retirement age (laughs), but I still feel very vigorous and vital and energetic. And I still think of myself as 30, 35. I still play singles tennis – real hot, competitive tennis – with a kid. He’s only 73 or 74. I’m 76. I tell my wife and others, my problem is I know how to spell “n-o,” I just can’t pronounce it. I just keep saying yes to almost everything that anybody asks me to do because I see it’s a good thing. I think, “Well maybe I can wedge that into my schedule.” And as a result I find myself constantly on the go with a tremendous diversity of things.
I’ve been writing weekly columns for World Net Daily and News Max and have been recording still. I have a recording company featuring other performers, other business investments, as well as working with all kinds of charitable endeavors. Plus, I still try to wedge in some tennis and golf and spend time with grandkids too. It’s such a busy active life, at least for me, seems to keep me younger instead of wearing me out. Q: Let’s go back a few years. At the tender age of 20 you started recording. You had your 1st #1 single in 1955… Pat: Yes, I had my first #1 single in 1955. It was my second record. The first record was a top 10 millionseller called “Two Hearts, Two Kisses.” I recorded that one when I was 20, maybe 21. The second record in 1955 was “Ain’t That a Shame.” It was a millionseller and went to #1. The next record was a song called “Crazy Little Mama (At My Front Door).” I was doing nothing but Rock and Roll at that point. It was Rhythm and Blues done
more Pop, but still really Rock. I find hard to believe myself, but from March of ‘55 when I made my first record, to February of ’56, I had sixmillion-selling singles. And two of them were #1s. The other #1 after “Ain’t That a Shame” was “I’ll Be Home,” it was also a Flamingos’ hit in the R&B field. I did a Pop version of it. That came out just before Elvis hit with “Heart Break Hotel.” I thank God I had an 11-month head start with two #1s and a few millionsellers. It helped me weather the Presley “storm.” A lot of other singers went by the wayside in that time. Q: Tell us how everything changed in that year for you. Pat: Starting in ‘55 and right through ‘58 when I graduated from Columbia University with honors, Magna Cum Laude, it was a whirlwind. I was on the cover of TV Guide in my cap and gown. I had already done several big movies and had already started the weekly Pat Boone Chevy Showroom TV show. Chevrolet had sponsored my
show, sometimes #1 in the Nielson Ratings. I was married with four children at 23. All of that set the tone for the rest of my life. I’ve never been able to catch up. Q: You’re very humble, but I read some data on a survey back then that among high school students you were a 2-to1 favorite over Elvis among boys and were preferred 3-to-1 by girls. I think you held your own in that period of time. And you were busy with children and a family. Talk briefly about the challenges that presented. Pat: Well, God bless my wife. Shirley is one of the great blessings of my life. We married at 19 and by the time we were 23 we had four children. I probably should have been jailed, or neutered, but Shirley had this strength. She even had a “show biz” background because of her father Red Foley who is a country music legend. Shirley helped me weather the storm and help me do everything I had to do and still be an active daddy, involved with my kids. We just found the ways to

Local man finds calling with Miracle League of San Diego Carmel Valley resident Dan Engel has lived in Carmel Valley with his wife, Suzie, son Sam and daughter Jordan since 1999. He received a BA in economics from UCLA, and then earned a joint JD/MBA degree at the Boalt Dan Engel Hall School of Law and Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. He began his investment banking career at Salomon Brothers in New York. After more than 15 years in the deal business, he was recruited by the CEO of Applied Underwriters, a company he had financed earlier in his career. Engel helped grow the company 500 percent over four years before selling it to Berkshire Hathaway. After this more than 20-year-career in the for-profit world, he found his calling in the non-profit world when, together with his wife, they founded the Miracle League of San Diego, which gives children with special needs the opportunity to play baseball in an organized league. The Miracle League of San Diego offers games in the spring and fall and has just completed its ninth season. It now serves more than 180 players and 200 “buddies” (volunteers) per season. The Miracle League of San Diego is
very much a family place for the Engels and many of the other participants. Engel’s wife Suzie has coached, his son Sam helps at the field in many capacities, and his daughter Jordan has been a buddy every season. Engel likes to call Engel Family Field, a Little Padres Park in San Dieguito Park, the “happiest place in San Diego.” In 2010, Engel formed the Non-Profit Purchasing Group (NPPG) to help nonprofits nationwide save on their most commonly purchased goods and services. NPPG is the only group purchasing organization dedicated exclusively to nonprofits nationwide and serves many nonprofits in San Diego County. 1. What brought you to this neighborhood? I was working at a boutique investment firm that was winding down its business and we decided to move closer to my wife’s family in Del Mar and Solana Beach. Also, we missed going to Padres games on a regular basis. 2. What makes this town special to you? It’s a great place to raise a family. We’ve got excellent schools, fantastic weather and easy access to anywhere we want to go. 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area? I would like the proposed Main Street development in Carmel Valley completely built out. Better restaurants in a friendly,
walking environment like the Grove in Los Angeles or Kierland Commons in Scottsdale would be a huge improvement. 4. Who or what inspires you? I love the whole concept of the Giving Pledge started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. I only hope that these billionaires live up to their obligations during their lifetimes. I’m also inspired by all the players in the Miracle League who play baseball with such joy and passion every Saturday. 5. If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? John Wooden, Bill Clinton, Bruce Springsteen, Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Crystal, Frank Deford, Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Graham. I’m going with a mix of sports, politics, music, comedy and acting. I’ve added Graham, the legendary dinner party hostess, to keep the conversation going. 6. Tell us about what you are currently
reading. “Love you More” by Lisa Gardner. 7. Name a few of your favorite movies. “Hoosiers, Diner, North by Northwest, Sabrina and Body Heat” 8. What haven’t you achieved in your life that you would still like to? My goal is to break 80 on the golf course. That being unlikely, I’d like to move to Del Mar and be able to watch the sun set over the ocean every night. 9. What is your favorite vacation spot? Maui. I could spend all day overlooking the ocean and the islands every day, reading books and playing golf. 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? I’ve made the Bobby McFerrin song “Don’t worry, be happy” my ringtone and I play it all the time. I love seeing the smile on people’s faces when they hear my phone ring.

Local native and wife pen book to bring about ‘Sea Change’ BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor Local native Duffy Healy nurtured his love for the ocean growing up surfing local breaks and met his match in wife Elizabeth, a Laguna Beach native who shares his desire to protect the ocean. The couple have come to realize that while they belong to a community of ocean conservationists, that simply isn’t good enough. The Healys are now raising awareness about the dire issues facing the world’s oceans in a new book, “Sea Voices, Working Toward a Sea Change.” “We have been on the board of Oceana for years, but the idea for the book occurred to us while attending a fundraiser called “Sea Change in Laguna Beach,” Elizabeth said. “These fundraisers are very exclusive and cost a lot of money to attend. And while they do raise money for ocean awareness, it is almost as if the speakers are preaching to the choir because everyone shares that interest already. Duffy and I wanted to round up athletes, authors, musicians and celebrities to generate even more attention.” The couple interviewed 138 people for “Sea Voices,” which is written in a question-and-answer format. The book boasts interviews with ocean experts like famous female oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. Robert Ballard (noted for discovering the Titanic), Captain Paul Watson from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (you may know him from the TV show “Whale Wars”) author and ecologist Carl Safina, British adventurer David de Rothschild, Jacques Cousteau’s grandchildren Alexandra and Fabien Cousteau, and many others. The interviews in “Sea Voices” aren’t limited to ocean experts, though. The Healys also sat down with musicians like Jack Johnson, San Diego native Jason Mraz, Garret Dutton (aka G Love), Yoko Ono, Stefan Lessard (of the Dave Matthews Band) and Ziggy Marley. Environmentally conscious actors like Daryl Hannah, Ted Danson, Q’orianka Kilcher, Isabel Lucas, Kate Walsh, Sam Waterson, Keely and Pierce Brosnan, and others were also eager to chat about why protecting the ocean is of such vital importance to all. The couple spent two years traveling the globe conducting the interviews and also chatting with 10-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater; surfers and Patagonia ambassadors Chris, Dan and Keith Malloy; San Diego-bred surfer Chris Del Moro; skateboarding star Tony Hawk; Robert Kennedy, Jr.; author Amy Tan; filmmaker Louie Psihoyos (of the Academy Award-winning documentary “The Cove”); royalty from Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, and still others. Out of the group, which spans more than 25 countries and more than 25 different states, who did Duffy and Elizabeth enjoy interviewing most? “There were so many, but I would say Daryl Hannah, because of the simplicity of what she said,” Elizabeth said before quoting the actress/activist: “ ‘We spend billions to explore space, yet we still don’t know what mysteries the ocean holds.’” As for Duffy, he hit it off with actor and Oceana board member Ted Danson. “He speaks my language. His advice about overfishing was, ‘Become involved. Don’t be cynical. Be informed. No one has the luxury anymore to sit back and do nothing.’” The message of “Sea Voices” is that while the ocean seems infinite and indestructible, it is facing numerous challenges. Those lucky enough to live near the ocean interact with it daily, and often take its presence for granted. “Sea Voices” exposes threats like overfishing (which is causing major imbalances in ecosystems), coral reef destruction, sea levels rising, biodiversity loss, shark finning, and ocean acidification. The book also delivers staggering statistics (according

to Dr. Sylvia Earle, for example, 90 percent of the major species of the ocean have been removed in the last 50 years!), but isn’t all doom and gloom.

One of the most popular tapas at Roppongi is the Polynesian Crab Stack with mango, pea shoots, cucumber, tomato, red onion, avocado, and peanuts in a spicy ginger-lime dressing.
Roppongi’s new dining room décor is fanciful yet elegant.
Roppongi is ready when you are with fresh, exotic fare BY WILL PARSON rom T-shirts to power suits, there is room for everyone at Roppongi. Its namesake is a district in Japan that is famous for its nightlife, and in a similar way the Asian-fusion restaurant in La Jolla caters to all kinds. The patio alone can beat many smaller venues in terms of seating, and its expansiveness provides a series of dining niches tied together by an ever-present upbeat energy. The main dining room leaves a visual impression, as it is lined with statues of Buddhas and dragons, as well as an aquarium. Peer through the water to glimpse the backs of chefs preparing sushi. But for a different look, just sit at the sushi bar around the corner. Across from the sushi bar is the full bar, and across from both is a lounge area. On the patio, you can sit inside a quiet canopy along Prospect. If there’s one thing people come for, said manager Stephen Omahen,

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Click ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Roppongi’s Polynesian Crab Stack it’s the tapas. The current menu boasts 25 different kinds, but if there was one to rule them all, it might be the Polynesian Crab Stack, made with mango, pea shoots, cucumber, tomato, red onion, avocado, peanuts and spicy ginger-lime dressing. And the fact that all 25 of the tapas are half-priced every afternoon makes happy hour a wise choice — an energetic start to a night in La Jolla.
Chef Stephen Window’s sushi entrees at Roppongi have been gradually creeping up on the tapas offerings in terms of popularity. And like the tapas, sushi rolls are half-priced during happy hour. “It’s a new, creative, innovative type of sushi going on,” said Omahen, before highlighting Roppongi specialties like the Sushi BLT-Style and Big Eye Tuna plates. Roppongi might already be a familiar sight, nestled on the corner of Prospect and Faye in the heart of La Jolla, but it was recently remodeled for a “light, brighter, fresher” feel, Omahen said. And the restaurant recently launched its new Bikini Ready menu at a big party. The menu showcases low carbohydrate/low calorie options and “skinny” cocktails. Though that event featured models in Sauvage Swimwear, a bikini is not required attire to order off the Bikini Ready menu. The T-shirt you happen to be wearing should be just fine.

‘Touch A Truck’ fundraiser – A community event to raise funds for childhood cancer research The greater San Diego community comes together every June to help put on what is quickly becoming a not-to-be-missed family fest – Touch A Truck San Diego, a fundraiser for childhood cancer research. The event, which is slated for Saturday, June 4, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Torrey Pines High School, takes advantage of the amazing array of vehicle-related businesses, public-safety and military resources that call San Diego home. “All of the vehicles, food vendors and activities featured at Touch A Truck volunteer their time to come and support childhood cancer research,” said Melissa Mikulak, co-founder of the Carmel Valley-based childhood cancer charity Max’s Ring of Fire, which is named in honor of her son Max who passed away from neuroblastoma cancer in 2008. “Everyone really makes an effort and brings their best equipment to Touch A Truck, so that kids of all ages can sit behind the wheel and imagine what it’s like to operate every awesome vehicle.” Creating an interactive display again this year will be the US Navy Seals and US Marine Special Operations teams that were such a hit at last year’s Touch A Truck. Also bringing vehicles are the San Diego Police SWAT team, San Diego Sheriff Search and Rescue, Border Patrol, and the ever-popular Tumble Gym Bus for toddlers. In addition, there will be a brandnew food truck from Bitchin’ Burgers that will not be cooking, so kids can safely see what these kitchens-on-wheels look like on the inside, a “clean” garbage truck from Daily Disposal, and even hot rods, race cars and low-riders! Adding to the fun will be slot-car racing, face-painting, custom-beaded lanyards, lemonade and bake sale items, Star Wars characters, and an amazing $1 raffle that includes iPods, Nintendo DSi’s, and spa packages. Local bands Hullabaloo, Hot Rod and the Church Brothers will also be performing at the event. More than 1,000 people have already purchased their tickets online at www.TouchATruckSD.com for only $5 per person, and the expected capacity of 3,500 is expected to sell out early the day of the event. www.TouchATruckSD.com for more information and tickets. 100 percent of the funds raised at Touch A Truck go directly to childhood cancer research.

Benefit concert to mark St. James’ centennial BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer The Romeros, known to millions as ‘‘the royal family of the guitar,’’ have graced stages in the White House, where they played for President Jimmy Carter, and the Vatican, where they played for Pope John Paul II. On Saturday, June 4, the world-renowned classical guitar quartet will come to Solana Beach to play a benefit concert at St. James Catholic Church in honor of its centennial celebration. “The Romeros have played to audiences all over the world, including royalty and world leaders, and yet, they have happily agreed to come play for our community in Solana Beach — I’m humbled and honored by that,” said RSF resident Maria McEneany, who is the chairperson for this concert, which will raise money for the St. James Music Ministry and the St. James Academy Scholarship Program. The Romeros founder, famed Spanish guitarist Celendino Romero, began teaching his sons Celin, Pepe, and Angel to play the instrument when they were each preschoolers. Each of the boys had a solo debut by the
time they turned 7. By 1957 the family immigrated to the U.S. and began its legacy as The Romeros. More than 50 years later, the family quartet consists of second-generation guitarists Celin and Pepe, as well as thirdgeneration guitarists Lito and The Romeros Celino. The family of musicians has been largely credited with defining the quartet format within this genre and, in fact, a recent “New York Times” review called them “the only classical guitar quartet of real stature in the world today.” “They make their instruments move, and I just know if they didn’t hold on to those guitars they’d get up and dance,” McEneany said. ”I’ve heard them several times, but every time it’s like I’m hearing them for the first time. I want
to stand up and clap through every song. When you hear them play, you can’t help but be moved.” The Romeros are scheduled to play Saturday, June 4, at 7 p.m. inside St. James Catholic Church, 625 S. Nardo Avenue in Solana Beach. Tickets to this concert are $60 each and include refreshments. For more information about sponsorships and tickets, please call Maria McEneany at 858-759-2620 or visit stjamesandleo.org.

To Your Health: Stroke recovery requires fast, expert care BY THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, MD, PHD, SCRIPPS HEALTH Every 45 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a stroke. The third-leading cause of death in the United States and a major cause of serious, long-term disability such as paralysis, speech problems, confusion and muscle weakness, stroke affects about 795,000 people every year. Stroke is caused by a blockage in a blood vessel that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the brain. The blockage may be caused by a build-up of plaque that eventually blocks the flow of blood, or by a clot that travels from elsewhere in the body and lodges in the vessel. In 85 percent of strokes, blood flow is blocked by an obstruction; these are known as ischemic strokes. The remaining 15 percent are hemorrhagic or “bloody “strokes. These occur when an artery ruptures in the brain, and the resulting mass of blood, known as a hematoma, destroys or damages brain tissue. Whether a stroke is ischemic or hemorrhagic, the lack of blood flow starves brain cells of the oxygen and other nutrients they need to survive. If they die, the part of the body they control can be irreversibly damaged. Immediate medical care is critical to open the blocked blood vessels and prevent the loss of brain tissue. A massive team effort is required between paramedics, emergency room physicians, neurologists and neurosurgeons to quickly evaluate and diagnose the nature of the stroke and treat the patient as quickly as possible. If the blood vessels can be opened within three to six hours, there is a significant chance of recovery. Since 2000, the Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States, has surveyed hospitals for certification as Primary Stroke Centers (PSC). Primary Stroke Center standards of care reflect the guidelines established by the American Stroke Association; the PSC designation confirms that the hos-
pital has a team of physicians available 24/7 that provides the most up-todate and efficient stroke care, along with the tools and expertise to treat acute stroke quickly and competently to minimize or even reverse damage to the patient’s health. All five Scripps hospital campuses are designated as Primary Stroke Centers. Know the Warning Signs With stroke treatment, every second counts. Seek emergency care immediately if you experience any of the following warning signs, even if the symptoms are minor or last only a few seconds. Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are minor or “warning” strokes with symptoms that last for a short time and often seem to resolve themselves. However, TIAs are strong indicators of a possible major stroke, and require immediate attention. •Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body •Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding •Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes •Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination •Sudden, severe headache with no known cause If you suspect someone is having a stroke, the National Stroke Association recommends using the F.A.S.T. test to recognize stroke symptoms: •FACE: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? •ARMS: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? •SPEECH: Ask the per-
son to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange? •TIME: If you observe any of these signs, time is of the essence. Call 911 or get to the nearest stroke center or hospital as soon as possible. Know Your Risk Stroke can affect anyone of any age, race or gender at any time. However, there are some known risk factors that may increase your chances of suffering a stroke. Men are more likely than women to have a stroke at younger ages, but women’s risk increases with age. African Americans have nearly twice the risk of a first-time stroke compared with whites. If you have had a previous stroke or TIA, or have a family history of stroke, your risk may be higher. Other medical conditions that may increase risk include diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, atrial fibrillation and carotid artery disease; talk to your doctor about managing these to decrease your risk. Finally, you can lower your risk through lifestyle changes, such as losing excess weight, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking and using alcohol in moderation. May is National Stroke Awareness Month and Scripps is offering free stroke awareness community events and physician lectures. For a schedule of events and more information about stroke risk, prevention and treatment, visit www. scripps.org/stroke. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps Health.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Haymes Law Group provides estate planning, legacy videos and more BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Attorney Kristina Haymes wants to make sure that people prepare the best they can for life. She has first-hand experience of how estate planning can go wrong—as a lawyer, she’s seen the ugly aftermath of families divided over absent planning documents, and personally she felt the frustration and pain when her own father died suddenly with his wishes left unclear. Now her Carmel Valley Haymes Law Group provides estate planning for growing families—setting up trusts, wills, advance directives, power of attorney and plans to protect children. “It’s really a privilege to meet with people and talk about very important topics and plan for their future,” Haymes said. “Sometimes when you stop and think about the end, whether that’s tomorrow or 40 years from now, it makes people reflect on how they want to live their lives today. If you take the time to do that, people can make a positive difference in their lives.” Haymes lives in Carmel Valley with her three sons, Jarod, Cristian and Aaron. Raised in San Diego, she attended San Dieguito High School before heading off to UC Santa Barbara and UC Berkeley Law. Right out of law school she got a job at a big firm in San Francisco, where she stayed for five years. “I didn’t enjoy the big firm lifestyle,” Haymes said, noting it just seemed to revolve around billable hours. “I didn’t have a sense that I was helping people.” Haymes felt most at home when she started working with Personal Family Lawyers in 2009, a nation-wide group that most reflected her passions and philosophy toward law. The group has no hourly billing just a flat fee and stresses being a personal, local family lawyer and not just someone you see once to fill in the blanks on the necessary paperwork. “The goal is to have a lifetime relationship with the client, to be someone they can turn to and trust,” Haymes said.
Kristina Haymes with her sons. Her job includes having conversations with clients that can be very confidential and emotional, about the things that matter most in life. A unique part of her offerings is her legacy videos, where clients record a video talking on different points about what they would like their loved ones to know when they are not around. That kind of information can save a lot of money, minimize estate taxes, avoid probate and family fueding, but it also protects intangible wealth. Clients are passing on their stories, values and wisdom—sometimes money passed down without wis-
dom isn’t worth much at all, Haymes said. Haymes also offers Personal Family Lawyers’ trademark Kids Protection Plan, designating both a long-term and short-term plan for children when something happens to their parents. The plan gives specific guidance to how clients would like their children to be raised in their absence. “No one will raise your children like you will but if you don’t make choices that are legally binding, often times it is left up to a judge to decide,” Haymes said. Haymes Law has a special running until June 15— any mom who makes an appointment for a complimentary, two-hour family wealth planning session will get a free manicure and pedicure. For more information, call (858) 794-1426 or visit haymeslawgroup.com. Additionally, Haymes also wrote a chapter in the recently released book, “More than Money: How to Leave a Lasting Legacy to Your Family.” Haymes Law Group is located at 12707 High Bluff Drive, suite 200.

keep getting everything done, and using every second and every minute of every day. We made sure that included family time and togetherness. We were always in church Sunday mornings, Sunday nights, and Wednesday nights. I was a congregational song leader, sometimes Sunday School teacher, and that facet of our lives is what helped us keep our heads on straight with all the glamour, the money, the girls screaming, the success. I knew because of my family roots and our involvement in our church that all the other stuff was superficial. It was wonderful and we appreciated it greatly, and I enjoyed it, but my real life was with my wife and my girls. When we were all on the cover of all the teen magazines it was amazing to me that the teenage kids and girls would still scream when I walked on stage with my white buck shoes, knowing I was married and having a child a year. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available but I think that they saw in me something they aspired to. I was somebody that was living by the rules and winning. On the other hand, Elvis seemed to be breaking a lot of the rules and winning big. Elvis appealed to a different instinct in us; he was fascinating. We were two Tennessee boys living different lifestyles and both succeeding. Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the secret to almost 60 years of marriage? Pat: Shirley and I made commitments not just to each other when we got married at 19. We knew even then that we would meet obstacles, that there would be pressures. We actually got married as young as we did because her dad was moving to Springfield, Miss., and was going to take his family with him. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand to let her go. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want us to be apart either. So we asked for his permission and he gave it tearfully. We got married. We eloped, I say. But she says,
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elope, you asked my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission.â&#x20AC;? But I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask my parents. They had just said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not on your life. Get your college education and then you think about getting married.â&#x20AC;? So we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask them. So I like to say we â&#x20AC;&#x153;half-eloped.â&#x20AC;? As far as the secret to a good, long marriage, it is the commitment we made to God as well as to each other. It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;till death do us part, for better or worse, in sickness and in health.â&#x20AC;? It was all of those things. As we had kids so young in our lives, even when we met the stresses and strains of the entertainment business and all that goes with it, it was looking at our kids, being involved in our church life, knowing we had made commitments to God, knowing He had made commitments to us and to our marriage; that helped us greatly to weather the storms that are inevitable. Q: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting a one man show. What can fans expect in your show? Pat: I have started something new after all these years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really what Cary Grant was doing in the last couple years of his life. He would walk on stage and show film clips from his movies and talk about some of the behind the scene stories he experienced working with people like Sophia Loren and Frank Sinatra. The last night of his life he had just done one of those elegant nights. He walked off stage and an hour later had died. The applause were still ringing in his ears, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking for, but I am doing something similar called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music and Memories.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a night like that except in my case Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got more than just movie clips. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with Ann Margret and Debbie Reynolds. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show scenes from the movies and musical scenes especially. I will also show clips from my television shows. So instead of just seeing me for the evening youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be seeing Nat Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Johnny Mathis,

Count Basie, and on and on. I also sing live with a pianist. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just show the great moments from my career either. I have also decided to show the other side as well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show some of my most embarrassing moments on television. I show the audience those clips and bring them into the moments in my life from which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recovered. At least I think I have. I let the audience ask questions as well. It is a happy and informal night, highlighting some of the great moments and some of the embarrassing moments of my career.

OBITUARIES
Mary R. “Sally” Kazmarek 1923 – 2011 Mary R. “Sally” Kazmarek went to her heavenly reward on Thursday, May 12, 2011, after a long illness. Her accolades are as many as her activities: Devoted Wife, Dearest Mother, Cherished Grandmother, GreatGrandmother, Beloved Sister, devoted church member, world traveler, patron of the arts, community volunteer and life-long learner. Born January 27, 1923, in Detroit, Michigan, Sally (nee Dorrington) came of age in an era when women were glamorous and she was always the one to be seen wearing the hat, scarf, pin or boa that set off her natural beauty and distinguished her as a woman of elegance and style. Married to Robert J. “Bob” Kazmarek during World War II, Sally was soon a busy mother to Robert Jr., Susan, Joan, Diane, John, Lois and Jim. One of her earliest forays into community involvement came as the President of the Dominican (High School) Mother’s Club where her excellent taste and superb organizational skills resulted in successful fundraising events for the school. She subsequently became involved with the St. John Hospital (Detroit) Fontbonne Auxiliary generating thousands of dollars for the hospital. After moving to Rancho Santa Fe, she was an active and tireless volunteer for the Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women’s Club, opening her gracious and lovely homes in both Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch for fund-raising events as well as opportunities for candidates to meet and discuss issues with community members.
Ever the traveler, Sally was known to pack up the car with children in tow to visit points of historical and geological interest. In the 1960’s she joined a group at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial undertaking a trip that both circumnavigated the globe and crossed the equator. Over a month in duration, the agenda included stops in Hong Kong, India, Kenya and Brazil, among others. In later years, Sally and Bob traveled to Europe on the Concorde, visiting various destinations including a trip to the Hermitage in Russia. Sally was a long-standing member of the University of San Diego’s Invisible University and Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club. She and husband, Robert, were instrumental in establishing the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, as well as Founding Members of Fairbanks Ranch Country Club and Church of the Nativity. Even after being afflicted with dementia, Sally continued to amaze and delight all of those with whom she came in contact, most notably with her watercolor painting, “Flower Fields at Carslbad,” which was chosen by the San Diego Alzheimer Organization as its “signature piece” for their 25th anniversary gala. The original piece commanded a significant amount at the evening’s live auction. A woman of incomparable spirit, possessing a vivacious and gracious personality, with boundless energy, taste and enthusiasm for life, she touched many and will be missed by all. Sally is survived by six children; six grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; a sister; and a brother. A Celebration of Life will take place Saturday, June 4, 2011, at 11:30 a.m. at the Church of the Nativity in Rancho Santa Fe. In lieu of flower, contributions in Sally’s name are suggested to the San Diego Alzheimer’s Association. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy. com/obituaries/ranchosanta fereview.
Arynne Abeles Simon 1926 – 2011 Arynne Abeles Simon, 85, most recently of Los Angeles, passed away on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, 2011, after a prolonged decline following a stroke. She was born July 23, 1926, in the Bronx, at home. Her father, Peter Abeles, was a New York State Senator and later, a judge — appointed to the bench by then New York mayor Fiorella LaGuardia. Arynne’s mother was Minerva Lobell Abeles, of Minneapolis, a gifted public speaker and homemaker. Arynne studied the violin throughout her young adulthood and was accomplished enough to attend Julliard’s High School of Music and Art in Manhattan and was the first-chair violinist in the senior orchestra. She graduated from New York University with degrees in Business and Early Childhood Education and then found work in the fashion industry as part of Macy’s cutting-edge executive training program. When her son Sheldon became of school age, Arynne received her teaching credentials and found joy working with elementary school students on Long Island. After moving to Washington, D.C., she studied at Catholic University under a faculty involved in the development of new human interaction principles called Assertive Behavior. She later taught the subject at the college level, privately, to the Healthcare industry, and to executives and management in various corporate settings. She served as Director of Public Relations for WMAL radio and television, the ABC affiliate in Washington. During that time, responding to a request from the White House, WMAL loaned Arynne to work with the executive staff serving President Lyndon Johnson. She studied classical drawing and painting full-time at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington under Edmund Archer and became a highly accomplished and well-respected portrait painter. Then, combining her love of art with her teaching skills, she created Corcoran’s first-ever art school for young children. After moving to Southern California in the early 70’s with her husband, Bill Simon, and daughter,
Victoria, she created, edited and promoted a newspaper called “The Learning Scene,” dedicated to exposing the local population to all manner of learning opportunities, both institutional and private. Arynne then obtained her Ph.D. in psychology, and launched a new career, offering her services as a personal coach, speechwriter, speech coach and team-builder to the burgeoning computer industry. Largely based in the Silicon Valley area, her wide array of clients included leading American semiconductor and computer companies as well as government offices, political leaders, and network newscasters. In England, she provided executive coaching to retail organizations, members of Parliament, and the Mayor of Westminster (London). Arynne authored the book “Playing Life from Center Court—How to Live without Anger and Fear.” In addition, she produced two audio cassette lecture series, “Assertive Behavior,” and “Assertive Sex.” A great many people speak of how deeply their hearts were touched and how dramatically their lives were changed by Arynne, including many who only knew her through a single training session. Those lucky enough to have known her say they still live by and teach others principles inspired by her unique and positive approach to life and business. She is survived by her husband, William L. Simon; daughter, Victoria M. Simon; son, Sheldon Bermont; and grandchildren, Vincent and Elena Bermont. They will treasure the memory of her glowing smile. A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 17, 2011, at 5 pm at The Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/ranchosantafe review

Captain Walter Joseph Frank 1923 – 2011 Captain Walter Joseph Frank, 88, was born February 27, 1923, in Catherine, Kansas, to Pauline and Matt Frank and flew his last mission as he journeyed to meet God on May 10, 2011, from his Rancho Santa Fe home. His loving ground crew, wife of 32 years, Libby; brother, Bill Frank; sister, Dorothy Stuller; children, Dr. Bart “Marko” Frank, Lucile Lynch, Claude Hooton III and Frank Hooton; grandchildren, Jennifer Walling, Suzanne Frank, Elizabeth, Courtney and Chloe Belle Hooton, Chase and Connor Lynch and Frankie and Scarlett Hooton; greatgrandchildren, Trey, Aiden and Alec Walling; and his dog, King Louie, will forever remember his love and support. Granddaughter, Brittany Hooton; his brother, Tom; sister, Kate; along with his parents, met him at Heaven’s gate to welcome him.
His 46 combat missions flown during WWII, contributions as a pilot during the Berlin Air Lift and Korea, and 37 years as a 747 captain with United Airlines pale in comparison to the contributions he made to our lives. He was a fabulous cook who made sure our stomachs were as filled as our hearts. He was also known for always lending a hand whenever someone needed help. Wally, we will remember you whenever we see an American flag, taste a delicious meal, and dogs being fed at the table. We know that you are in the arms of our Lord without suffering. We love you Wally and will miss and remember you with all our hearts. A memorial mass will be held Friday, May 13, 2011, at 11:00 am at the Church of the Nativity in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. In lieu of flowers, please send all donations to Helen Woodward Animal Clinic or another program that cares for animals.

If you are selling a home or estate in Rancho Santa Fe, read this... Prime Real Estate in Rancho Santa Fe is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?
How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Rancho Santa Fe properties. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.ranchosantafereview.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 51 countries in March, 2011 and generated 5,312 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Rancho Santa Fe can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account.

But with the falling dollar, Rancho Santa Fe real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.
