San Dieguito River Valley JPA joins SB, Del Mar in fairgrounds legal challenge BY MARLENA CHAVIRA-MEDFORD STAFF WRITER The Solana Beach City Council officially announced May 11 that the city is planning to legally challenge the Del Mar Fairgrounds master plan and Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), which outline a major redevelopment of the state-owned property. The City of Del Mar and the San Dieguito River Valley JPA will both be joining Solana Beach in this legal challenge of the master plan and FEIR, which must be filed by May 18. The 22nd District Agricultural Association certified the master plan and FEIR on April 18 and, according to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQUA) regulations, all legal challenges must happen within 30 days. Once that 30day window closes, the right to file any legal action goes away forever. For that reason, Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner called the measure a “legal step to protect our community’s interests and rights.” The fairgrounds master and FEIR have spurred strong public outcry from Solana Beach and Del Mar residents, as well as elected officials who claim it failed to adequately analyze impacts from traffic, noise, lighting and pollution. Solana Beach councilman Dave Roberts said that this legal step would hopefully “lead to meaningful dialogue with the 22nd District Agricultural Association.” “This is a precautionary step to lead to meaningful dialogue: It’s nothing more, it’s nothing less,” he said.

Local resident’s company horse wins Kentucky Derby
Community Calendar
BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER When racehorse Animal Kingdom won the Kentucky Derby on May 7, few in the record crowd at Churchill Downs were more elated than local resident Aron Wellman. The vice president of Team Valor International, which owns Animal Kingdom, had always hoped he would win the Derby someday and to finally be in that moment just didn’t seem real. “To win the Kentucky Derby I think is just about every American’s dream,” said Wellman, 34, who got his start in the horse racing industry as a youngster at the Del Mar Racetrack. “To have won it is an incredibly humbling experience.” At 20-1 odds, Animal Kingdom had been a pretty decent long shot to win before the race began. He had only run four times before in his life and he had never before run on dirt. “Those were two major variables that he was up against and also he was coming off a six-week layoff,” Wellman said. “He had major obstacles to overcome physically and historically to prove he was capable of winning.” Wellman said the Derby race couldn’t have gone any better. Animal Kingdom was in the 12th or 13th position coming by the stands heading into the first turn. The owners all sit in boxes at about the 16th pole before the finish line at Churchill Downs. Wellman said he was able to track Animal Kingdom fairly well during the race and was confident in how he was traveling at a good rhythm with a lot of energy. He lost Animal Kingdom for about a quarter mile as the race went into the far

turn, his view blocked by tents, but he watched on the big screen to see him in some traffic. As the horses came around the last turn, Wellman was just hoping to see the red cap pop up and he was pleased when he saw him in such a great position. “At that moment, myself, my wife, my partners, we’re realizing he was in this thing,” Wellman said, Jockey John Velazquez and Animal Kingdom made “an incredible angled move” at the three-furlough pole and with a “devastating turn of foot” gained a clear path. “He absolutely steamrolled down the lane,” Wellman said of Animal Kingdom’s win by two and a quarter lengths, with everyone on Team Valor cheering like wild. “It was an impossible thing to process at the time and even three days later. It’s surreal and incomprehensively very emotional.” Animal Kingdom will now travel to Team Valor’s training facility at Fair Hill, Maryland, to prepare for the Preakness Stakes on May 21.

Education Matters/Opinion
The education funding battle: The right fight for the wrong reasons By Marsha Sutton As teachers’ unions across the state geared up for the “State of Emergency Week of Action” May 9 to 13 to protest state cuts in education funding, local parent Michael Robertson was fighting a different sort of battle. Robertson charged that the Del Mar Union School District misused public resources – including telecommunications equipment, computer servers, school property, supplies, copiers and school databases – to improperly advocate for political positions. “DMUSD is using school resources in an attempt to influence politics which is wrong,” he said in an email, citing a robo-call from the district’s superintendent “pleading that I join a protest to ‘protect our kids.’” In addition to the automated phone call, he offered as further evidence an email addressed to “Del Mar Hills families” from the Del Mar Hills Elementary School PTA president which read in part: “During the week of May 9 through May 13, the teachers, administrators, school board and parents of the DMUSD will jointly participate in activities to focus attention on California’s ‘State of Emergency.’ The purpose is to raise awareness of the serious cuts facing education and to pressure California legislators to return funding priority to our schools.” The email asked parents to meet in the teachers’ lounge on May 9 and make calls during lunchtime to legislators, “urging them to support tax extensions, preventing deeper cuts to California public schools.” Lunch, she wrote, will be served. Fuming, Robertson claims the DMUSD is violating the law, citing California Education Code section 7054 which prohibits school districts from engaging in political advocacy using public resources. Section 7054(a) reads that no school district funds, services, supplies or equipment shall be used for the purpose of urging the support or defeat of any ballot measure or candidate. However, 7054 goes on to say that nothing shall prohibit the use of public resources as long as the activities are authorized by the Constitution or California law and “the information provided constitutes a fair and impartial presentation of relevant facts to aid the electorate in reaching an informed judgment regarding the bond issue or ballot measure.” Section 7054(c) states that any violation of this section shall be a misdemeanor or felony punishable by imprisonment or a fine, or both. Whether or not Del Mar (or any other California school district for that matter, as many of them engaged in similar actions) violated 7054 of the Calif. Education Code is debatable. Technically, the district’s efforts did not urge the support or defeat of any ballot measure or candidate, as prohibited in 7054, but it may have advocated for a particular political position. Here is the full text of the automated call: “Hi, this is Superintendent Jim Peabody calling with an important message about budget issues facing the Del Mar Union School District and ALL California schools. School districts throughout California are suffering while we continue to wait for a state budget. Our schools and communities cannot tolerate any more budget cuts nor can we afford to continuing [sic] waiting for a state budget. “During the week of May 9-13, all educators, parents and students in the state are fighting back with a grassroots campaign calling on lawmakers to resolve the state budget crisis now. Look for our Del Mar teachers, administrators, parents and board members at your children’s school
– they will have important messages about what YOU can do to help.” Peabody responded to Robertson’s complaint in a May 9 email, saying the district’s intent was “to provide fair and impartial information to parents about the budget, not to take political action.” But he also agreed not to send any more messages asking for action, writing, “I can see that asking the legislature to pass a budget on time may Marsha Sutton be considered a political action.” “I saw zero fair or impartial information going to parents,” wrote Robertson to Peabody, about the week-long campaign. “What I saw was very biased screams of ‘No more cuts’ and ‘Protect our kids.’ How is that distributing facts? The intent was to push for higher taxes.” Threatening litigation, Robertson wrote, “It is a serious breach of the public trust when government officials spend public funds to create an advantage for one side of a political campaign.” He demanded that the district “immediately cease using its funds, school property, personnel, supplies or equipment to influence the political process.” In addition, Robertson asked the district, through a Public Records Act request, to provide all communications since March 1 between the California Teachers Association, which sponsored the week-long “State of Emergency” effort, and the district and all its employees. And he promises to release the information publicly on his Web site (www.michaelrobertson.com). When asked for reaction to Robertson’s charges of illegal activity, Peabody wrote in an email, “After some thought, I have no response to Mr. Robertson’s comments” – although he did add the following: “I don’t believe the district did anything wrong.” The union agenda The initiatives at individual schools and school districts during the week of May 9-13 clearly pushed for parents to support the CTA union agenda and lobby lawmakers for more funding for education. But does the CTA’s agenda always coincide with what’s best for kids? As Robertson said, “It’s not about protecting our kids but about protecting employee salaries and benefits.” He claims that DMUSD employee salaries make up about 85 percent of the entire budget for this year and that the district “now spends more than $10,000 per student – a number that has grown every year for the last six years.” Not that long ago, school employee salaries and benefits in the county were about 80 percent of a district’s budget, but that percentage has consistently grown. At the San Diego Unified School District, the largest in the county, employee wages and benefits are said to be a staggering 93 percent of the district’s operating budget. Clearly, funding to schools has risen over the years, but the money spent on increased compensation packages has not correlated to improved student achievement. CTA flyers handed out at schools propagate the false impression that the union represents student interests, and parents are being hoodwinked by deceptive rhetoric. We need more money for education, yes, but we don’t need more money for education so teachers can receive higher salaries and benefits. Robertson said the CTA “is a union whose sole purpose is to get as much money for their members for as little work as pos-
sible. I don’t fault them for their efforts, that’s what they are paid to do; but the school district should not be their mouthpiece.” The CTA he says, does not represent kids or parents, “regardless of what their literature claims.” The union fights for the rights of its members, and students are not members. Neither are parents. This doesn’t mean the state should not allocate more funding for education. It should, and legislators need to make public K-12 education a priority. But the money must be funneled directly to programs that benefit students, because ever-higher compensation has not proven to address the chronic problems in our schools. Attacking seniority rights The CTA recently sent a notice to its union members, including local teachers, alerting them to three proposed bills that “attack teachers directly,” with tips on how to present the bills to their communities to fight passage. One bill, SB-355, takes on seniority rights by allowing districts the needed flexibility to consider other factors besides years of service when deciding who shall be terminated, including performance evaluations. But the CTA says SB-355 “would allow administrators to practice favoritism under the guise of ‘keeping the best.’ It would gut one of the most important protections that helps ensure academic freedom and allows students to learn from experienced teachers.” Then there’s SB-871 which would prohibit salary increases for employees in a school district that reduces its instructional minutes or shortens its school year, which the state has shamefully now allowed districts to do to save money. The CTA describes this bill as “a full-on attack on collective bargaining and local control.” Even as teachers work fewer days, they still deserve increased teacher compensation? But the union does not object to fewer school days, knowing full well that the amount of time students spend in school is directly related to improved learning. “The real problem in our schools,” the CTA claims, “is not seniority protections or teacher pay. It’s the chronic underfunding that has provoked a fiscal crisis and is threatening our students’ education.” “It is vital that the cuts are stopped …,” the CTA notice states. “Reducing teacher protections in the guise of ‘cutting costs’ will make things even worse.” The CTA says these bills “would foster discrimination and favoritism” and “would move California in the opposite direction of proven reforms that are helping our students and schools.” Proven reforms that are working? Really? But, as one teacher recently wrote in an email to Robertson, “I think if I do my job as I would have to at any other business, I don’t need this protection or seniority to save me. My work as a teacher should speak for itself.” Amen to that. Whether Del Mar has overstepped its bounds in its enthusiastic embrace of the CTA agenda may be under scrutiny, but the important question is why so many parents continue to support the CTA agenda. Just because the teachers’ union wants something doesn’t mean parents should. Fight for more money definitely, but let’s first make sure that money gets where it needs to go.

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 hospital has a team of physicians available 24/7 that provides the most up-to-date 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 person 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.

Meeting to be held on bluffs in Del Mar The City of Del Mar staff will hold a meeting on Thursday, May 26, so the public can learn more about the schedule and process for the current effort to stabilize the bluffs along the railroad tracks in Del Mar. The meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. at the Del Mar City Hall Annex (1050 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014).
Dozens were on hand for ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Solana Beach Train Station on May 11.
NCTD continued from page 1 “Our 73-member club’s vision is to build a longterm relationship between our community and NCTD to promote public transit, a healthier economy, and continue serving those in need in our community as Lions.” Dozens gathered outside the Solana Beach Train Station Wednesday, May 11, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of the program. The scene was reminiscent of a recent day in March when residents also gathered at the Solana Beach Train Station to celebrate the addition of a new information kiosk that pro-
motes businesses and events in the community — another innovation that was done in partnership with NCTD. “Solana Beach is at it again,” NCTD Executive Director Matthew Tucker told the crowd May 11. “That kiosk was an ‘a-ha’ moment for us [at NCTD]. We realized it’s not just about us, it’s about how we fit into the community. It’s about establishing a relationship with the people we serve.” All NCTD transit stations will be available for adoption on an annual basis. Anyone interested in the new program can find more information by visiting the NCT website at www. gonctd.com and clicking on the “community outreach” tab.

Del Mar Television to present “Slow the Flow: Make your Landscape Act More Like a Sponge.� Del Mar Television is airing a film commissioned by the California Water Resources Control Board called “Slow the Flow: Make your Landscape Act More Like a Sponge.� The film features a landscaper who shocks his neighbors by pulling out his traditional front lawn and cement driveway and putting in rain gardens, swales and permeable paving. Also highlighted is a suburban community that votes in a bond measure to pay for their school district to move to green multi-benefit watershed landscape practices and a non-profit, which is helping an urban neighborhood remove concrete and put in sidewalk gardens and median parks and more. The projects and approaches highlighted are very low-tech, green, habitat-enhancing and beautiful. Making a good argument for kicking back and not raking the leaves or water the lawn. The film educates viewers on how storm water is created and the associated problems, while the statistics peppered throughout the film are sober, “Slow The Flow� offers solutions that any homeowner or municipality can put into place, and shows that individuals can make a difference. The air dates on Del Mar Television are June 1 at 3 p.m., June 2 at 9 a.m. and June 5 at 6 p.m. Time Warner Channel 130 digital (24 analog) AT&T 99 (scroll to Del Mar TV).

Cancer Fitness founders use personal experience to help people regain their health 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,” Webster 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
up.
Deb Snyder and Susan Webster 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 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 healthcare providers who offer complementary services to cancer patients; and can attend support groups, like a casual ‘Taco Tuesday’ meet-
“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 760-6839105.

Bob Baker-backed documentary on Korean War battle to air locally and nationally this month 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 leaders. 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 wellknown to San Diego residents as the founder of a successful chain of auto dealerships. The film was produced and directed by local 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 Palmedo-Smith. 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, Palmedo-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.

Local filmmaker Glenn Palmedo-Smith (center) with General Paik of South Korea in the military tower overlooking OP Harry. Palmedo-Smith said he initially envisioned the project as a modest film involving 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 PalmedoSmith. “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,” PalmedoSmith 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 African-American artist whom Palmedo-Smith said was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in Connecticut in 1959.

Literary Feature: Michael Cunningham
Pulitzer Prize-winning author returns to area 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 Mi-
chael 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 abortive 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-year-

AUTHOR continued from page A10 old 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. Asked how he had changed during the last decade, 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.â€? 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 CaĂąada, 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.� He credits his two years in Iowa with making “a huge difference in my writing life.� While at the workshop, he published two short stories, one in the Atlantic Monthly and another in the Paris Review and he met visiting New York literary agent Gail Hochman, who agreed to represent him and who, to this day, remains as his 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. I’m very bourgeois and I’m romantic in my habits. I treat it like a job. I get up in the morning. I go to my studio. I’m there until around five. 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
shape‌I 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.â€? 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.â€? Throughout his career, Cunningham has taught creative writing in various ven-

ues, 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 happens 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.�

SD Diplomacy Council honors Del Mar resident Stephen Brown with ‘Global Citizen Diplomat’ Award for his work in Afghanistan The San Diego Diplomacy Council (SDDC) has selected Del Mar resident, philanthropist and activist Stephen R. Brown, a retired partner at Luce Forward who has amassed seemingly impossible accomplishments in Afghanistan in the area of education, technology and medicine, for its annual “Global Citizen Diplomat Award.” Brown will be honored at the organization’s annual meeting on June 16 at El Vitral restaurant 815 J Street. Brown’s commitment to the people of Afghanistan is one of the positives to come out of the 9-11 tragedy. “In the days after 9-11, I made a promise to myself to do something meaningful to help my country fight the war on terror and to make another attack less likely,” he said. Little did he know the consequences of that internal vow. For the past nine years he has devoted as much as 60 hours a week, amassed contributions in the millions, and made 11 trips to Afghanistan. Fellow Rotarian Fary Moini from the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary spurred his initial interest shortly after 9-11. By November 2002, they and

It can’t help but counter anti-American propaganda advanced by extremists.

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 Ear-

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, Gar-
ret 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

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. Marine Protected Areas are being assigned around the world and are showing positive results. “Our main message is that we can all do our part to protect the ocean,” said Duffy. “We’re big on activism through the Internet. It is so easy to join a few oceanic charities online. You can vote on measures with a simple click of your mouse.” “Sea Voices. Working Toward a Sea Change,” $29.95, is available online at SeaVoices.com, at bookstores and coastal Costco and Patagonia stores.

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

Del Mar Hills students and Aikido Del Mar’s Kevin Pickard
Del Mar Hills’ Kids-4-Japan Relief Night raises almost $1,700 Students at Del Mar Hills Academy enjoyed an inspiring cultural evening while raising almost $1,700 for students in Japan who were affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami. After a chicken-and-rice dinner from Pick Up Stix, the kids were taught to do several arts and crafts including origami, carp kites and writing their names in Japanese. Then, Aikido Del Mar performed a mesmerizing martial-arts demonstration for the students. And finally, they were served yummy Japanese desserts while watching Karate Kid II, which was filmed in Okinawa. The Hills is still accepting Japan relief donations through the end of May. You can send them to Tamara Radford, c/o Kids-4-Japan; Del Mar Hills Academy, 14085 Mango Drive; Del Mar, CA 92014.
The San Dieguito Heritage Museum will celebrate local heritage by hosting its annual BBQ and a live concert on May 21 at the museum site.

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. For more information visit the Center at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa, Fe, call 858-756-4117, or log on to www.animalcenter.org.

Del Mar Junior Lifeguard Program and Little Turtle Program teach beach and ocean safety
(Above left) TVIA group photo aboard the USS Midway; (Above right) Patrick Davis and Tyler Yamamoto cleaning and painting the EKA-3 Skywarrior.
Teen Volunteers in Action help spruce up USS Midway Ninth and tenth graders in the local Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) chapter spent their Saturday, May 7, helping paint, polish, and clean aircraft aboard the USS Midway. The USS Midway was commissioned in 1945 and decommissioned in 1992. The Midway currently displays 24 aircraft on its flight and hangar decks. These magnificent examples of aircraft played an important role in the history of carrier aviation and our country. The boys were helping with painting the EKA-3 Skywarrior, polishing the blades of the H-34 helicopter, loading cargo, and cleaning the flight deck cleats.
Memorial Day, the traditional unofficial start of summer is quickly approaching and thoughts are turning to the beaches of Southern California. National Beach Safety Week, sponsored by the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA), begins on May 23 and ends on Memorial Day, May 30. This is the perfect time for parents to make sure that their children and teenagers learn about and are respectful of the ocean waters. One very effective way to do this is to enroll them in such programs as the Del Mar Junior Lifeguard Program and Little Turtle Program. The programs are developed for children and teenagers ages 7-17, and designed to provide basic knowledge of beach and ocean hazards and how to have a safe, fun day at the beach. Lifeguard Instructors teach everything from recognition of rip currents and other potentially dangerous safety hazards associated with the beach environment to rescue techniques, first aid, physical fitness, beach games and fun. The USLA reports that approximately 80 percent of rescues by USLA-affiliated lifeguards at ocean beaches are due to rip cur-
rents. Rip currents are not easily identifiable to the average beachgoer. In the Del Mar Junior Lifeguard program, students are taught how to identify a rip current through observation from the beach, from a lifeguard tower and while in the water. They are then provided with personalized training on how to swim out of a rip current and how to rescue a victim from the current. After completion of the Junior Lifeguard Program, participants will be able to successfully identify safety hazards on the beach and in the ocean, react to basic first aid emergencies and prevent themselves from becoming victims. The program provides students with general life saving skills in the ocean that may lead them to careers in emergency services. In recognition of National Beach Safety Week, the Del Mar Junior Lifeguard Program invites parents all over San Diego County to review ten key beach safety tips to ensure a fun day on the beach. For Del Mar Junior Lifeguard Program and Little Turtle dates and details, log onto www.delmarjg.com.
‘Jerry Finnell Memorial Walk’ is May 21 The annual “Jerry Finnell Memorial Walk” sponsored by Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC), is May 21. The two-mile walk along the Del Mar beach will begin at 8:30 a.m. with check-in at the north end of Powerhouse Park. A continental breakfast of fruit, bagels, juice and coffee will be available before the 9 a.m. walk begins. Cost for walk participants is $25 for adults, $15 for children.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Haymes Law Group provides estate planning, legacy videos and more Fresh finds at Flower Hill 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.

Accomplished student and dancer Tali Aires Solana Beach author Diane Welch accepted to The World Arts program at UCLA a San Diego Book Awards finalist Talia Aires, although only 18, could be considered a modern day Renaissance girl, and breath of inspiration to all — graduating from the San Diego Jewish Academy in June, she has been accepted to UCLA in The World Arts program as a dance major. Tali’s dance instructors marvel at her exceptional talent and passion for dancing, a natural since the age of 4 who started honing her craft under the tutelage of Lorna Diamond of The Children’s School, Sheree Meyerowitz and Francine Garton of The Royal Dance Academy. Tali shone in every dance recital for 10 years enabling her to break out and venture into competition with Mike and Katie Langford of On The Edge Dance Company, winning many medals and trophies. She dances everything from jazz, ballet and pointe to hiphop, modern and lyrical. Talia Aires Tali’s spirit, passion, drive and unrelenting perseverance have always been evident in her dancing and academic endeavors. Along with embracing dance with such fervor, Tali delighted in partaking in the act of “Tikkun Olam” — helping “repair the world” by giving countless hours of community service in The Hand-Up Food Pantry projects. “We look to Tali Aires to be reminded of just what shape commitment takes...readily willing to step up and show her passion as a model for others,” says Dean Steven Kahn. Tali’s vivacious and infectiously joyous personality comes through every time she dances or performs. And her wit and zest for life is apparent from her teenager’s philosophy: “Do something that scares (and delights) you every day !”

Contenders for the San Diego Book Awards have recently been announced with Diane Y. Welch’s monograph, “Lilian J. Rice: Architect of Rancho Santa Fe, California” [Schiffer, 2010] selected as a finalist in the biography category. A Solana Beach-based author, Welch is also a public speaker and biographer who is a regular contributor to the Solana Beach Sun, the Rancho Santa Fe Review, Carmel Valley News, Del Mar Times and the La Jolla Light. For more than a decade Welch has written community features on hundreds of local personalities and several international celebrities, which include Glenn Close, Diane Keaton, Dave Stewart, Katherine Crosby, Zandra Rhodes, Eleanor Antin, and more. Welch wrote the first monograph on this little-known lady architect after research on Rice, for inclusion in a story Diane Welch on the San Dieguito Union High School — a 1936 Rice dePhoto/Leslie Hoffman sign — proved an impossible task. “I went to the library to find a book on Lilian J. Rice for reference and could not find one single volume written about her,” said Welch. “ I felt very strongly that here was a most significant woman in our nation’s history that needed to brought out of the shadows. So I wrote that book!” Four years of research, poring through newspaper archives, conducting dozens of interviews with old timers, and the gifting of a large collection of vintage photographs by Tom Clotfelter, the Spurr Family, and Miriam Sellgren, helped bring Rice’s story to light. Welch is designated as Lilian J. Rice’s official biographer by family descendants who aided with the research. Known locally for her work in Rancho Santa Fe, where she was resident supervisory architect in the 1920s, Rice designed for movie stars and the nation’s wealthy. However, her accomplishments have been largely unrecognized beyond the Ranch’s 92067 zipcode. Rice’s work actually spanned the county and one of her last projects was an elementary school in South Chula Vista built in 1938. The school was renamed the Lilian J. Rice Elementary School after Rice died later that year. This year marks the 100-year anniversary of Chula Vista’s cityhood. By way of celebration, the students at Rice elementary school interviewed Welch about their school’s namesake. Captured on video the interview will be publicly shared with Chula Vista city officials, teachers and students on May 18, when Welch will appear as guest of honor and speak to the audience about Lilian J. Rice’s important contributions to the county’s history. All are welcome to meet and greet Diane Y. Welch locally at the Solana Beach Libary’s “Afternoon with the Authors” at 2:30pm on Saturday, May 21. To find out more visit www.lilianjrice.com

BY DEBBIE SANDLER Contributor Hi everyone. I want to start off this time by answering a couple of questions I have been asked that I bet a bunch of you are wondering about as well. I was recently asked about the proper recycling of the plastic rings that hold soda cans together as 6-packs. These 6-pack plastic rings are polyethylene and can be recycled along with other items such as grocery, newspaper and dry cleaning bags. They will also accept them in your blue bins curbside since they are #4 LDPE (low-density polyethylene). Whether you recycle them with your grocery, newspaper and dry cleaning bags (lightweight plastic film) or curbside please be sure to cut them up since they get hung up on the machinery otherwise. (It’s a good habit to always cut them up so that if they do somehow find their
way to the ocean, they won’t choke the seabirds.) Another question I have been asked a number of times is about the recyclability of cans (from canned foods such as diced tomatoes, refried beans, etc.). If the cans are tin (magnets will stick to them) they are recyclable, even with the white lining found in some cans. Questions answered. Thank you Allan Recycling! This week I want to consider the compelling reasons why we should all think about backyard composting. My research for this article revealed some very disturbing data about trash and uncovered facts which ultimately led me to make the choice to divert even more of my household and yard waste from the landfill and turn it into compost. Did you know that your separated green waste is hauled away not to be composted but used as an alternative daily cover (as opposed to plastic film or nylon tarps, for example) at the landfill? Landfill contents must be covered

to control blowing litter, odors, fires and vectors (birds, insects and animals that can carry disease). The environment created by covering up the landfill contents lacks the key ingredients of exposure to sunlight, air and moisture which would allow a healthy biodegrading (or breakdown) of materials. (Researchers have actually found legible 30-year-old newspapers in landfills, along with food items dating to five and 10 years old!) Essentially what is being created by alternating layers of trash and collected green waste is a methane gas “lasagna” where dangerous methane gases form and escape, poking holes in the ozone layer. Consider this: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American produces about 4.4 pounds of garbage a day, or a total of 30.8 pounds per week, 15 percent of which comes from yard and kitchen waste and could easily be composted. This material is filling up limited landfill space. A very reasonable solution is to compost many of these organic (derived from living plants) materials. There is no question that composting takes some work on the front end but very quickly it becomes a healthy habit. I challenge you, dear readers, to watch how significantly your trash levels
drop when you begin to compost organic materials instead of throwing them away. It is amazing how much you accumulate (fruit and vegetable scrapings, cores, peels) when you begin to collect them. I did a little experiment. I collected my organic household “stuff” (fruit and vegetable scrapings, cores and peels, coffee grinds and eggshells, etc.) and yard waste for one week and found that I easily collected at least one trash bag full of materials that could be composted. Subsequent to my “experiment” I found out about other materials that could be added such as dryer lint, vacuum cleaner bags and contents, cotton and wool rags (cut up into small pieces), hair and fur as well as cut up compostable (paper) food trays to name a few. And composting is easy. I attended a twohour workshop at the Solana Center for Recycling in Encinitas. Check their website (compost@solanacenter.org) or call 760-4367986 (x217) for workshop dates and times. Not only is composting easy, but if you are a resident of Solana Beach composting becomes very inexpensive as well. The city of Solana Beach subsidizes the cost of soil saver composting bins and brings residents’ costs down from $89/bin to $35 and in Rancho Santa Fe the
cost comes down to $40. All you need to “feed” your composting bin is 4 ingredients: Air, Water, Carbon (brown matter such as dried leaves, wood chips, cardboard or just plain paper), and Nitrogen (kitchen and yard waste). It is recommended that the Carbon/Nitrogen ratio be about 60-70 percent carbon and the remaining 30-40 percent nitrogen, however compost piles are quite forgiving and ratios simply dictate the amount of time it will take for the components to eventually break down. Your pile will need to remain slightly moist (about the consistency of a wrung out sponge) and get air (achieved by each day or two giving the pile a turn with a garden fork). In the end you will be rewarded with a rich, nutritious beyond gorgeous compost. A composting bin was at the top of my Mother’s Day gift list this year… (Come on girls, how many new pieces of jewelry do you really need?) You will be making such a significant impact on the environment and the amazing return on your investment (of time and money) will be a garden like you’ve never imagined. As always, please let me know what you think and be sure to send me any questions or comments you may have to sbbaglady@ gmail.com.

Local golfer Teddy Oitzman shines at American Junior Golf Association tournament with hole-in-one Local resident Teddy Oitzman, 13, a 7th grade student at Santa Fe Christian School, recently hit a hole-in-one at a preseason 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 Teddy Oitzman hole playing at 171 yards and a back-left hole locaPhoto courtesy of tion in breezy conditions, the seventh grader from American Junior Golf Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., stuck it close and watched Association web site it roll in for a hole-in-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 hole-in-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.”

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Baseball: With a Coastal League South title on the line, Santa Fe Christian left nothing to chance in a 9-0 dismantling of Bishop’s. The win followed a 3-0 league victory over La Jolla Country Day the previous day. The Eagles in their title-clinching game broke open a 1-0 lead when they scored four runs in the top of the second inning. They stretched the lead to 8-0 with a three-run fourth inning. Bobby Zarubin had two hits including a homer and three RBI, and Cal Roberts had a double and three RBI. Eagles starter Graham Gomez pitched five innings of three-hit ball in which he struck
Bumper To Bumper Q. Ricardo: I have been approached by my mechanic about flushing my engine of all the old oil and the contaminants that are in the nooks and crannies. He said it will extend the life of my engine, clean up Dave Stall the emissions and get me better fuel mileage. The machine they use is called a MotorVac machine. Before I do this I wanted to find out if this is a good thing to do to your engine. I have 104,445 miles on my car and the last thing I want to do is damage the engine. A. Dave: There is still a lot of “snake oil” out there in the automotive repair arena, but you are in luck. The AutoVac systems do work. I have done it to my own car with no ill aftereffects. The engine did run smoother, but I didn’t notice a fuel mileage increase. It also started easier so if you have the bucks, it won’t hurt your engine to do this service. It only needs to be done about every 60,000 miles so it is cost effective. You should continue to change your oil every 3,500 miles. Remember, San Diego County is considered “Severe Driving Conditions” by the NHTSA. Q. Lori: You have tested a number of fuel mileage systems that say they will increase your fuel mileage. Which ones really work? Can you list them? A. Dave: I don’t think I can remember all of the different systems that have been given to me for testing, but the first thing you need to do before you try and find a substitute for fuel economy is to get your vehicle in order. Make sure it is running properly and that the fuel fil-
!
ter has been changed along with the air filter, that oil changes have been done according to your owners manual specifications, your tire pressure is correct (get the correct number off the tire and lower it three to five pounds), and that you change to synthetic motor oil and a synthetic oil filter. The only system I have been testing that I have had good results from is the Tornado, which can be purchased at NAPA. I have used a lot of other devices but either they didn’t work or the company went out of business. Remember, I’m only talking a mile or two savings so keep that in mind. At four dollars plus a gallon, that may make a difference. Oh, and keep your fuel injection system cleaned on a regular basis, about every 30,000 miles. Q. Gloria: When I come to a stoplight or come off the freeway, I use my manual transmission to help stop my car. My boyfriend says I’m doing damage to my transmission and clutch by doing this. My dad taught me to drive and I have watched him do this for as long as I can remember. I even asked him if he ever had to have the clutch or transmission replaced because of his driving habits. He said no, and that my boyfriend is an idiot! Now I have the men in my life fighting over my driving habits. Can you please answer this question in your column? My dad wanted me to tell you he drives a semi truck for a living. A. Dave: Well, your boyfriend isn’t going to like me very much: Your dad is correct. If you downshift properly at the correct speed and revolutions per minute (RPM), not only will you save the clutch and transmission, you will also extend the life of your brake pads. The reason your dad wanted you to mention what he did for a living is because that is what truckers do to stop their rigs. They use the transmission and the compression of the engine to help stop their truck and the load they are carrying.

Solana Beach artist finds myriad ways to give back If you’re been to the Solana Beach Library, you’ve probably seen resident artist Joel Harris. During his Saturday drawing classes in photo-realism, he helps others hone their skill — like his protégé high-school freshman Julia Hermann, who this past year was awarded a UNICEF educational grant for her Christmas card design. Throughout the year, Harris conducts after-school creative workshops for Earl Warren students and during the week facilitates special drawing classes for Latino teens getting their GED cerJoel Harris tificates and adults with special needs. Harris was born in Chicago, and earned his BFA in advertising and design at the University of Illinois. He later studied medical illustration at the Illinois Institute of Technology and then photography at Pratt Institute in New York City. His first job was for NASA’s Apollo Moon Mission, for which he was the youngest American artist. He worked as an art director for major clients, including Pillsbury, Folgers, and Green Giant — and as an, editor, advertising director and designer in media, even helping to develop the split-screen technology for CBS used first with the “Wild Wild West Show.” Having traveled to 30 countries throughout the world, Harris said feels fortunate to receive what America provides, and he gives back in many ways. For many years, he was a medical-illustrator for the World Health Organization (WHO), and his illustrated manuals are used by medical staffs in many third-world countries. For the past four years, Harris has volunteered as the art therapist at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas for “wounded warriors” and patients suffering from brain trauma injuries (BTI) and at the VA Medical Center in La Jolla for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, including paraplegics and quadriplegics. Expanding this work, he founded the Healing Americas Heroes to create greater public awareness for the rehab needs of returning

Educational cartoon and early passion for diving inspire 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 until 2006 when he semi-retired. We interviewed Neuman, 64, in his home in Del Mar, 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

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 Ni-
gro’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. The Carlsbad-based organization serves children nationally and internationally. “We believe that no child should suffer with a physical deformity due to birth defect, disease, accident or abuse,” said Michelle Pius,
Christie Beniston, Kellye Cohen working on one of the murals. PHOTO: COURTESY 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.

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 Stephen Metcalfe starring Ted Danson, Isabella Rossellini, William 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 morning constitutional, “Shogun,” by

CCA film students to raise money through film festival and art show for Alabama schools devastated by tornado The schools are 2,000 miles apart, but the Tuscaloosa City Schools in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and Canyon Crest Academy have at least one thing in common — a teacher. Before coming to teach video and film production, Mark Raines taught television production for the high schools in the Tuscaloosa City Schools for eight years. This weekend, Raines’ students in San Diego will help raise money for students at his former schools. This Saturday, May 21, at the CCA Student Film Festival and Envision Visual Arts Show, the film students will collect checks made out to the Tuscaloosa City Schools (for “Disaster Relief Fund”). The money will go to help mitigate the costs associated with the April 27 disaster which could include supplies, a psychologist, play therapy opportunities, clothing, instructional supplies, graduation fees. Three schools in the Tuscaloosa City Schools were destroyed in the tornado, and many students in the district lost homes and all their belongings. EVA runs from 1-4 p.m., immediately followed by the film festival at 4 p.m. at Canyon Crest Academy (5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130). Combined tickets to attend EVA and the film festival event are $12 for adults and $6 for students. Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event or online at http://www.ccaenvision. org/events.html. Donations for the tornado relief fund (checks only) will be collected at the event. If you cannot make the festival, you can send checks made out to Tuscaloosa City Schools for “Disaster Relief Fund” to: Canyon Crest Academy, Attention: Envision Cinema, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130. For more information, contact Mark Raines at mark.raines@sduhsd.net or 858-350-0253, ext. 4201.

‘Touch A Truck’ fundraiser to raise money for childhood cancer research The greater San Diego community comes together every June to help put on what is quickly becoming a not-to-bemissed 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 brand-new food truck from Bitchin’ Burgers that will not be cooking, so
kids can safely see what these kitchens-onwheels 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.

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-

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.

QUESTIONS continued from page B1 vets. By invitation, he then became an advocate and member of American Combat Veterans of War (ACVOW). Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest achievement, which he attributes to Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth librarian Pat Tirona, has been becoming a member of the Optimist Club of Del Mar-Solana Beach, which allows him to work to better the lives of local youth. What brought you to this neighborhood?
After spending 10 years in Los Angeles and hearing nothing but excuses and not getting the truth from people, I thought as long as people were going to lie to me, I might as well live where it was beautiful. So, I moved to North County. 2. What makes this town special to you? Of all North County, I feel that Solana Beach is the most down-to-earth, family-based, communityminded, quaint yet progressive â&#x20AC;&#x153;hamletâ&#x20AC;? where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a perfect mix of all ages.
3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area? If I could, I would make it mandatory for all Americans to serve in the Armed Forces in some supportive way, thus creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153; Universal Familyâ&#x20AC;? rather than the United States being a geographical entity. Locally, I would add a Zocalo to Colonia Park in Eden Gardens for all the Mexican residents, and all others in the area as well, to gather family members together on Sundays as they do throughout Mexico
to celebrate life with food and music and camaraderie. I would subtract the yearly San Diego County Fair that creates congestion and removes the peacefulness of the area for the financial benefit of a few individuals that live elsewhere! 4. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by Pat Tirona, the youth librarian at the Solana Beach Library, who suggests programs I can create and facilitate for people and students with special needs; and the Optimist
Enjoy our view of the PaciďŹ c. And that secret your new friend couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep.
Club members who create programs for helping develop the character of youth; the nurses and therapists at Scripps Memorial Hospital and the VA Medical Center for being real-life angelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; Bill Rider and the American Combat Veterans of War for being an advocate for veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights; and all those who serve in the Armed Forces and police force for their courage and integrity needed in protecting our human rights. 5. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Jesus and Mary are a must (an investment in my future!); John-Roger, spiritual and life teacher, AKA the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mystical Travelerâ&#x20AC;?; J-R, my dog, who I named in honor of the other J-R; Uncle Art, my mentor who believed in my worth and who brought me to be a life-long White Sox fan; Taysia S., who showed me the â&#x20AC;&#x153;treasureâ&#x20AC;? that all children are; Afi Nordman #14 and Beth Kaufman, who know Jesus in their own way and now could actually dine and clink glasses with Him. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention my Mother and Father because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet and be with Jesus and Mary anyway. 6. Tell us about what you are currently reading. I â&#x20AC;&#x153;readâ&#x20AC;? people. I am forever amazed at the unlimited physical variety. Other than people, I read internet global news and always sports throughout the day. 7. Name a few of your favorite movies. My favorite movie is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meet Joe Black.â&#x20AC;? Others are: all Robert De Niro, Richard Gere and Brad Pitt movies; â&#x20AC;&#x153;City of Angels,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coneheads,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Canyon,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Groundhog Day,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard of Oz,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planes Trains and Automobiles,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleepless in Seattle.â&#x20AC;? 8. What havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you achieved in your life that you would still like to? Having â&#x20AC;&#x153;that much moneyâ&#x20AC;? that I could take care of others who have â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? financial needs. 9. What is your favorite vacation spot? Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primitive, pure tropical beach paradise where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to do but lay in the surf all day, siesta by afternoon, and eat healthy from the jungle and sea. It gets so slow that a week feels an eternity! 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Life is not good or bad, only experiences to be observed and lived as an adventure. . . moment by moment.

A chat with Pat Boone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and enjoy an evening with him at Tommy Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say the name Pat Boone without attaching the word legendary. That is truly the correct description of Booneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Boone will be the very special guest for the aptly-named Pat Boone â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Evening with Pat Boone and Friendsâ&#x20AC;? on Thursday, May 26, at Tommy Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 tickets or call 858-356-2296. We caught up with Boone at his office on famous Sunset Boulevard where he shared some thoughts and a few of his many stories. Q: You look great! I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how busy you are; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so hard to track you down. Tell our readers what you been up to lately. Pat: My wife has been begging me to think about retirement for a few years now because certainly Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; real hot, competitive tennis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a kid. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 73 or 74. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 76. I tell my wife and others, my problem is I know how to spell â&#x20AC;&#x153;n-o,â&#x20AC;? I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pronounce it. I just keep saying yes to almost everything that anybody asks me to do because I see itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. I think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well maybe I can wedge that into my schedule.â&#x20AC;? And as a result I find myself constantly on the go with a tremendous diversity of things. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a busy active life, at least for me, seems to keep me younger instead of wearing me out. Q: Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go back a few years. At the tender age of 20 you started recording. You had your 1st #1 single in 1955â&#x20AC;Ś Pat: Yes, I had my first #1 single in 1955. It was my second record. The first record was a top 10 million-seller called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two Hearts, Two Kisses.â&#x20AC;? I recorded that one when I was 20, maybe 21. The second record in 1955 was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t That a Shame.â&#x20AC;? It was a million-seller and went to #1. The next record was a song called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crazy Little Mama (At My Front Door).â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;55 when I made my first record, to February of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;56, I had sixmillion-selling singles. And two of them were #1s. The other #1 after â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t That a Shameâ&#x20AC;? was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Be Home,â&#x20AC;? it was also a Flamingosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hit in the R&B field. I did a Pop version of it. That came out just before Elvis hit with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heart Break Hotel.â&#x20AC;? I thank God I had an 11-month head start with two #1s and a few million-sellers. It helped me weather the Presley â&#x20AC;&#x153;storm.â&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;55 and right through â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;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. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been able to catch up. Q: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very humble, but I read some data on a survey back then that among high school students you were a 2-to-1 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;show bizâ&#x20AC;? 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 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: 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

St. James Academy students walk through ‘Ancient Times’ St. James Academy 6th grade students received a live history lesson recently when they “Walked through Ancient Times.” After weeks of studying ancient civilization, the students acted out a history lesson in an afternoon they will not soon forget. “We had a ringside seat to the modern day approach to history. The kids did a great job acting out their parts and it was fun to see how they created their own costumes,” said principal Mrs. Dunn.

UNDERSEA continued from page B1 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. “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

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. -George S. Patton, Jr.
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.”
SAHARA continued from page B8
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; re-
quire 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 26mile marathon stage, Ste-
vens “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.”

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, I’m sure. Now that’s not what I’m looking for, but I am do-
ing something similar called “Music and Memories.” It’s a night like that except in my case I’ve got more than just movie clips. I’ve worked with Ann Margret and Debbie Reynolds. I’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 you’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 won’t just show the
great moments from my career either. I have also decided to show the other side as well. I’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 I’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.
