Community mourns passing of longtime CV resident Scott Tillson
Scott Tillson
BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Carmel Valley lost one of its strongest voices on May 19 with the passing of Scott Tillson, a long-time Carmel Valley resident and member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. Tillson died following a heart attack at age 55, surrounded by his
family. Tillson is survived by his wife of 32 years, Pat, and their three children, Sarah, Katie and Michael; his parents John and Dana; and his siblings Jay and Dana. He was a dedicated father who walked his daughter Sarah down the aisle at her wedding eight months ago, was
endlessly proud of his daughter Katie’s accomplishments and was a faithful fan at son Michael’s rugby and football games at Torrey Pines High School. At a May 24 memorial service held at St. Therese of Carmel, where Tillson was a longtime member of the congregation, Katie Tillson aptly
described her father as a “towering figure of knowledge.” Tillson’s long history with city council and local politics was an incredible resource for his service on the planning board, according to all who worked with him. Tillson played a big role in last fall’s passage of Proposition C, which untied Pacific
Highlands Ranch’s development from the completion of the Interstate 5/Highway 56 connectors—Tillson also served on the city and Caltrans steering committee for that project. At planning board meetings, Tillson was one of the most quotable members on the board—always with a See TILLSON, page 6
Book Works to close this summer BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer The Book Works, at Flower Hill Promenade, will close by midsummer after 35 years in business. Owner Lisa Stefanacci said the decision to close was made at the beginning of May when she “finally acknowledged that the bookstore couldn’t pull its own weight.” “Running the bookstore has been a dream come true,” Stefanacci said via email. “What I’ve enjoyed most is deciding which books to buy for the store from the thousands and thousands that are published each year, and then helping customers find a great book for themselves or for a gift, using conversation and insight to help them make a great choice instead of using a computer algorithm.” She said she does not have plans yet for what she will do next but is thankful for her faithful Book Works customers that she said have enriched her life. “I’m grateful and inspired to have met so many people with a shared passion for reading,” Stefanacci said.

David Jaffe to leave high school district BY MARSHA SUTTON Senior education writer David Jaffe, San Dieguito Union High School District executive director of curriculum and assessment, has resigned his position to become principal at Chabad Hebrew Academy, a private Jewish day school in Scripps Ranch serving students from preschool to eighth grade. Jaffe, former Canyon Crest Academy principal who opened CCA in 2004 and left to serve at the district office in 2007, said he’s leaving SDUHSD for the opportunity to work directly with children and help grow a school that he said has a “great foundation” but is ready to move to the next level. Chabad Hebrew Academy serves about 300 students from all parts of the county, with about onethird residing in Carmel Valley, said head of school Rabbi Josef Fradkin. Fradkin said he and his staff are thrilled to welcome Jaffe as their
new principal. Jaffe said he was impressed at how the school was being run and was attracted to the people, the organization and the sense of community. “It’s a totally different opportunity and a totally different environment completely,” he said. But it’s the direct contact with children and being at a school that he’s missed the most. “I absolutely love working with kids,” he said. Jaffe said he plans to build the middle school and “maybe put a structure in place to expand into high school.” Jaffe started at San Dieguito in 1993 as a teacher, then an assistant principal, then principal, and finally his current position which he’s held for four years. “I’ve been in the district for 17 years, and leaving it is tough,” he said. “It’s where I grew up professionally, and I will always remember the friends I’ve made and the colleagues I’ve worked with.

Drew Brees makes 12-year-old’s dream come true BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer At the Cox Celebrity Championship last week, host Drew Brees was a much sought-after man. The Super Bowl Champion quarterback of the New Orleans Saints was pulled in a million directions. His busy schedule on May 19 had him rushing from interview to interview, without a break in between, with a big party to headline that night. Amid the quarterback’s scramble, he still found the time to keep one very special meeting — the one with Tim Seastrand, 12, who is in remission from lymphoma. Tim has wanted to meet Brees since he was 7 years old. The meeting was set up by one of the tournament’s beneficiaries, the Friends of Scott Foundation, a San Diego organization dedicated to helping children with cancer and their families. Meeting Drew Brees was part of its Special Dreams program, which helps make wishes come true for children with

While it was supposed to be a surprise that the limo that picked him up early from school that day was taking him to meet his hero, Tim had already guessed it, telling everyone in his class he was meeting Brees. He knew for sure when he climbed out of the limo at Morgan Run and spotted the
football in Delgadillo’s bag. Tim’s eyes followed Brees as he made his way into the restaurant, telling his family, “He’s coming! Here he comes!” Brees greeted Tim with a warm handshake and the pair fell into easy conversation. Brees signed Tim’s football and laughed when Tim excitedly told him that he’d taken the Saints to the Super Bowl twice while playing the
Madden NFL video game, issuing a bit of a challenge for the next season. As Brees walked away, Tim’s smile remained stretched across his face. “That was awesome,” he said. Delgadillo wiped away tears. Another child’s dream made real, allowing Scott’s legacy to continue on. For more information on the Friends of Scott Foundation, visit friendsofscott. org.

Accomplished local students earn 29th annual Vic Kops Children’s Challenge Awards BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER For the last 29 years, the Del Mar/Solana Beach Optimist Club has honored outstanding local students with its Children’s Challenge Awards. This year’s happy, inspirational ceremony was held at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club on May 18 with 10 honorees in six categories of fellowship, community service, arts, courage, humanities and science. “This is truly as good as it gets,” said Susan Pfleeger, event co-chair. Optimist Vic Kops created the awards 29 years ago as a way to find kids in a league of their own and encourage them by honoring them. The awards have carried on in his name since he died in 2007. The children honored included five each from the Solana Beach and Del Mar Union School Districts. The most emotional presentation was for courage award winner Isabella Hirst, a first grade student at Ashley Falls School. Isabella lives with a major congenital heart defect and had her third open heart surgery in
November at the age of 6. Her mother Cynthia Edgerly said that she has faced life’s challenges at an early age with strength and optimism—before her surgery she bravely explained her condition to her classmates and was sweet and polite in the hospital, even serenading nurses with her favorite Hannah Montana song. “She’s always been an incredibly bright, positive and vivacious child. She has a special heart and has an amazing ability to see the good in any situation,” said Edgerly, before receiving a big, loving hug from Isabella. Michael Stickels, a fifth grader from Solana Pacific school, received the award for fellowship. Teacher Paula Merrick honored Michael for the way he volunteers for the Circle of Friends group at his school, a group that helps students with special needs. She said Michael is a compassionate, supportive and dependable friend, showing “exceptional maturity and kindness to those with special needs and challenges.” Ezra Bisom-Rapp, a

At just 6 years old, Carmel Del Mar first grade student Madison Dawson has already made a difference at her school, also helping out with special needs students. Teacher Laurie O’Farrell said that she is a role model for others, acting as a “protector and advocate for students with various disabilities.” “She wants everybody to feel included and cared for,” said O’Farrell. “She gives her time without being asked… Many adults could watch and learn from her, she’s been an inspiration to all.” In the area of art, Solana Vista third grade student Vivienne Franke was honored for her talent, creative intellect and ability to appreciate and master new techniques in art. Teacher Kiri Thompson said that she is an exceptional, hard-working student whose talent “far exceeds the ability of the average third grader.”
Alyssa DeVries, a sixth grader at Torrey Hills School, was also honored for her art in the area of writing. Alyssa is a gifted writer who also wrote a song called “Torrey Hills”— mom Shelley Gerber said her words “flow easily from her heart and touch everyone around her.” “I’m so proud that you can be brave enough to use your gift to share your feelings with the world,” Gerber said. Solana Santa Fe School teacher Marsi Hays honored her sixth grade student Jacob Brumm in the area of humanities—“My only challenge this year is staying one step ahead of him,” she said. Jacob has a drive for excellence in the classroom and helps inspires classmates to give their very best, Hays said. He shows amazing focus despite a busy tennis schedule and as a loyal friend has a high level of respect for others. “Others are drawn to his quiet leadership,” Hays said. Alexa Hatt, a sixth grader at Carmel Del Mar, was awarded for her achievements in the area of science. Teacher Linda Dugger said she is a dedicated member of the robotics club, has an aptitude for video production and is the student body vice president. Alexa also created her own fundraiser to support the Zoo Crew, the school program that takes care of the science lab animals. “With a happy heart and a smile on her face” she earned more than $1,000 for the program by selling Zoo Crew merchandise. “She will be a life-long learner as the result of her curiosity, enthusiasm and desire for excellence,” Dugger said.

Fundraiser to be held for TPHS graduate battling brain cancer The community has organized a fundraiser for Aaron Clubb, a Torrey Pines High School graduate and longtime North County resident who just prior to Christmas was diagnosed with stage-four brain cancer. He promptly had a tumor removed and is now doing quite well, but the chances for recurrence for this type of malignancy are near 85 percent. Clubb has a wife and young daughter to care for and works in construction. All the oncology treatment has made Clubb very weak and, thus, he cannot work and support his family. Therefore, several of his friends in the Solana Beach
area have come together to organize a fundraiser on his behalf to help him with the financial aspect of his disease and treatment. The fundraiser will be held on Thursday, June 2 at the Tidewater Tavern, 221 N Highway 101.There will be drink and food specials in addition to a raffle and a silent auction. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and admission is free. For more information, please visit http://clubbfamilyfundraiser2011.shutterfly.com

TILLSON continued from page 1 thoughtful, witty remark rooted in his deep knowledge of the situation at hand. As his sister Dana said at his service, he was a “keen observer, forever filling his bank” with information. “You could ask Scott a simple question and he’d give you a three-page answer,” Dana Tillson said. Katie Tillson said that while she may have doubts about a world without her father, she was certain that “the computers in heaven are operating better than ever and that I will always be proud to be Scott Tillson’s daughter.” Carmel Valley community members shared memories of Scott: Frisco White, chair of Carmel Valley Community Planning Board There is an old expression about whether a person can fill someone else’s shoes. This expression is true for Scott. There isn’t another person than can step into Scott’s shoes and do what he did. I first met Scott when he would participate from the audience as a concerned community resident during numerous board meetings. At first, I would dread it when I saw his hands up because it may be a long discussion. However, after a few times I came to understand that he wanted to lend a hand and offer the board sage advice and opinions. He was always willing to volunteer to help the board research, develop comments and conditions for approval of development projects. His knowledge of city politics and policies
were indispensable and irreplaceable. Even after Scott was elected to the board, I could always ask for his assistance or have him take on a project without hesitation and with enthusiasm. Quite often I would assign a task to him and before I could blink he would have the rough draft done. As I worked with Scott throughout the years, I had a better appreciation of his abilities to clearly understand issues that were presented and how he could explain his approach and conclusions in a level and respectful way. On occasion he and I would disagree, but he always respected my position as chair and would move forward with the decision. His legacy will live on with the passage of Proposition C. This is a project that highlighted what Scott could do and do it well. From the moment I appointed him to head up the board’s Exploratory Committee to the final citywide passage of Proposition C, I saw a man that was focused and with passion explain to voters why the passage of Proposition C was so important to the vitality of Pacific Highlands Ranch. He was indeed a great person. He will truly be missed but not forgotten. From Jan Fuchs, CVCPB subcommittee cochair I’ve known Scott since he was Councilman Harry Mathis’ chief of staff, in the early 1990s. He and I, separately and together, analyzed many land use issues affecting not just Carmel Valley but the entire region. We agreed a lot, we fought with each other a lot. Despite the is-
The San Diego Botanic Garden will hold a variety of festive events this summer. For more information on all visit www.SDBGarden.org.

Wear your fairy costume, or come just as you are. Create a fairy house, make fairy treasures, leave messages on the wishing bush, or shop in the Fairyland market. July 9-10, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. — Insect Festival This one-of-a-kind event features thousands of fascinating creepy-crawlies including live insects, lizards, snakes, and the famous “Madagascar hissing cockroaches.” sue, we felt we were both worthy opponents and worthy allies. One aspect of Scott others may not be aware of is this: I particularly understand and applaud Scott’s dedication to community. It is the same dedication that Anne Harvey, Frisco White, and I have and its source is our common upbringing as military “brats” or “juniors.” When you were pulled from town to town, or country to country until you were an adult, “home” becomes a goal even more important than to people who grew up in a stable or stationary lifestyle. “Home” for Scott, Anne, Frisco and me, as others like us, has become Carmel Valley, our first opportunity to set down roots. Scott’s, Anne’s, Frisco’s and my steady dedication to making this community the best it can be is attributable to our living here since Carmel Valley’s beginning — almost a fresh canvas — and our having the ability to help design, preserve, and protect “home.” Scott brought his exceptional mind, analytical skills, and longing for “home” to our community, a potent combination. From Manjeet Ranu, Carmel Valley planning board member Scott Tillson’s significant role in getting Proposition C on the ballot and approved in 2010 for the community was so important, as were all the many, many contributions he made to protect and improve the quality of life in the Carmel Valley area and beyond. He was so bright and his ability to nail an issue was remarkable. I very much enjoyed working with Scott and deeply miss him. From David Bartick,
Carmel Valley planning board member Scott truly was the heart and soul of the planning board. His experience involving the inner workings of City government was unsurpassed by any other member of the board. He not only had a keen awareness of the bureaucratic operations of local government, but Scott knew how to maneuver within the murky politics of City government to get things accomplished for our community. He was an insightful, intelligent and articulate individual, who always had a practical approach to the most complex of problems. But most of all, I will miss his smile, his sense of humor, and his extreme generosity in sharing his time and wisdom for the betterment of Carmel Valley. Karen Cody, resident and former Carmel Valley planning board member I thought personally the hours and years he contributed to our planning board show how much he wanted to make sure that Carmel Valley will always be the fantastic place it is today. Both Scott and I are original homeowners and felt a responsibility to make sure the development of our community is first rate. The knowledge he brought to the board and knowing how to go work through the city system were very valuable to everyone on the board, both past and present. I can’t imagine how hard it will be to fill the Neighborhood 5 position. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to: The Scott Tillson Community Action Fund, c/o 3990 Del Mar Meadows, San Diego, CA 92130.

Public invited to meeting to discuss presentation of Islam in seventh-grade history textbook An upcoming townhall-style meeting will discuss errors in the presentation of Islam in the seventh-grade history textbook currently in use in San Dieguito Union High School District middle schools and throughout the state. Local residents James Freedman, Linda Sax and Michael Hayutin recently published an analysis of portions of the textbook, titled “World History: Medieval to Early Modern Times.” The 21-page report focuses on sections of Chapter 3 (“The Rise of Islam”) and Chapter 4 (“The Spread of Islam”) and identifies 22 points in the textbook that the three authors believe are misleading or inaccurate representations of Islam. The meeting, sponsored by Hayutin Sax and Freedman, will focus exclusively on the accuracy of the information in the textbook and will feature a panel consisting of an Islamic expert, a rabbi and a retired Marine. The meeting is open to the public and will be held on Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Boys and Girls Club in Solana Beach, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, 92075, in the Community Room. For a copy of the 21-page report or any questions, write to asecureamerica@gmail.com.”
JAFFE continued from page 1 That doesn’t go away.” Beth Hergesheimer, SDUHSD school board president, said, “We’re disappointed we can’t keep him. It’s our loss, their gain, definitely.” “I take with me 17 wonderful years,” Jaffe said. “I’ve learned so much, and I get to share that with the school I’m going to.”
A notice was sent to district staff members on Monday from SDUHSD supt. Ken Noah, notifying them of Jaffe’s departure, effective July 1. “David has been a valued member of my leadership team, and I’ll miss him greatly,” Noah’s message said. Taking Jaffe’s place will be San Dieguito Academy high school principal Mike Grove. Noah said the district will begin advertising for Grove’s replacement immediately.

Canyon Crest Academy has some of the best highschool mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by its 1st-place finish in the 2011 Collaborative Problem-Solving Contest (CPSC), a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (http://www.natassessment.com). While most math competitions encourage rote memorization, familiar problems, and quick mental reflexes, the CPSC presents schools with 15 unique, intricate problems to be solved over the course of a week. Under the guidance of coach Brian Shay, students worked together using brainstorming, collaboration, research, and technology to solve the problems, gaining experience with skills that will be critical in college and their careers. In addition to its overall 1st-place recognition, Canyon Crest Academy was commended for having the highest score on seven of the 15 problems, including a difficult one involving an analysis of published data from the Kepler space telescope.

Q&A
Rick Kornfeld works to further scope of wireless technology Rick Kornfeld has earned distinction in the wireless industry for his many innovations in the field of wireless voice and data communications. Currently, he is president and CEO of Grid2Home: Smart Energy Solutions. Kornfeld has worked for some of San Diego’s most notable tech companies, including Linkabit, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments. Prior to joining Grid2Home, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, NextWave Wireless and NextWave Broadband. Rick Kornfield An avid cyclist and active in San Diego’s Jewish community, Kornfeld recently spearheaded a local Bike for Israel event to raise funds to support a school in San Diego Jewish Federation’s partner region in Sha’ar HaNegev. In addition, he is vice chair for the San Diego AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) council and on the national AIPAC council. He was previously on the board of the San Diego Jewish Academy. Who or what inspires you? I have been involved in some great technologydriven organizations, from Linkabit to Qualcomm to Dot Wireless, UCSD Engineering School, the La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology, and more. All of these are led (at the executive level, the board level, and the rank and file level) by tremendous people. I love being around individuals as smart and creative as this, even though at times I hardly deserve to be in
the same room with them. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? We have a family picture of my father’s mother’s family in Europe in the early part of the 20th century. It’s a picture showing my grandmother as a young woman and many other members of my family who I never met and who, unfortunately, were murdered in the Holocaust. I find myself looking at this photo often, and looking at the faces of my family, I can see that we’re related. I would love to sit down and meet them and understand the world they came from, and tell them about our world today. Tell us about what you are currently reading. I’m reading “The Big Short� by Michael Lewis. It’s a narrative about the recent sub-prime mortgage crisis with enough information to teach a bit of what happened and why.
What is your most-prized possession? When we had the firestorm here in San Diego a few years back, I thought about what I would want to save from the house. My thoughts weren’t any different than just about anyone else on this subject. Save the personal items like pictures, family artifacts, etc. What do you do for fun? I am a very avid cyclist. It’s great to be able to blend my cycling with my philanthropic interests such as my involvement with Jewish Federation’s Bike for Israel to raise money for a school in Israel’s Sha’ar HaNegev region. I also like to cook, although I would like to be better at it. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. I’ll have to let you know when I accomplish it. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Always remain relevant, active and curious.

Accomplished TPHS Botball Robotics team prepares for international tournament •T eam seeking donations/sponsors Torrey Pines High School is currently competing in a robotics competition called Botball in which teams build from scratch and program up to two robots to accomplish various tasks against another team’s bots. At the regional tournament held on March 19 at the University of San Diego, TPHS competed against 29 other Southern California teams, including High Tech High and the Preuss School at UCSD. This year, the TPHS Botball team won the second place regional award, and the team is preparing for the international tournament to be held July 9-13 in Orange County. Last year, the team won first in regionals and won the best engineering award at the international tournament. “Though we did not do as well this year at the regional tournament, we plan to surpass our performance this year at the international competition,” said Prithvi Undavalli, one of the co-presidents of the team, along with Jesse Vismonte. Throughout the development process, participants not only become well versed in hardware design and programming, they also learn how to interact with others in a high- stress environment — important skills that will aid them throughout life. As Jesse states, “I’m having a blast solving mindstimulating problems that can be applied to the real world. There is no doubt in my mind that Botball has prepared me for the
real world much better than any classes could have.” There are three sections to the competition, all of which contribute to the final score and standing. Through the two months of preparation up to the tournament, teams will document their progress, including problems encountered and changes made, by responding to various documentation assignments that are then graded and factored into the final score. On the day of the competition, there will be a precision seeding round in which teams’ bots complete as many tasks as they can on the game board unopposed to show judges what their robots are capable of. In the double elimination round, the different teams’ robots face off head-to-head. TPHS Botball is funded completely by donations and is currently seeking assistance from community members or companies that are willing to sponsor TPHS for the international tournament and future competitions. Qualcomm and Motorola have been kind enough to support the team. Although these students might not be dribbling balls down the soccer field, the competitive spirit and enthusiasm is just as intense. To donate or for more information, call the TPHS Foundation at 858-793-3551.

Ocean Air runner excels at speed and distance BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Ocean Air fourth grade student Connor Campbell is a running machine, logging 75 miles during the school’s lunchtime running club since September, making him the top runner at school. The club runs on the grass at Ocean Air Community Park and Connor has completed 675 laps this year, every nine laps equaling a mile. “Connor is a real standout,� said Laurie Leveen, a parent volunteer who leads the club with Denise Galuzzi and Suzi Holcomb. “He runs fast and all the kids try to keep up with him.� Leveen said Connor probably could’ve run more than 75 miles if not for all the rainy days Connor Campbell is the top in San Diego this year. Kids run in the club two days a week from Septem- runner at Ocean Air School, running 75 miles this year. ber through June 26. Participation varies during the school year but, on average, they have had 60 kids run- Photos/Karen Billing ning, aiming to reach milestones and get small prizes such as running charms. Kindergartners run the most, Leveen said, with the older kids petering out as they find more things to do on the playground. Connor started running in the second grade at a running club at his old school, Del Sur Elementary. He was the top runner there too. With the encouragement of others —“Everyone always tells me I’m super good at it,� he says — he has continued to keep at it and try to ran faster and farther. “My main inspiration is the younger kids, they really motivate me,� Connor said. “The one who motivates me the most is named James. I hope that he goes on and runs as far as I have.� Connor said he will continue with the running club next year and hopes to add 5 to 10 miles each year until he graduates from Ocean Air. Rounding out the top five runners at Ocean Air are: Thomas Diem, 554 laps (62 miles), William Daniels, 549 laps (61 miles), Yuta Takahashi, 501 laps (56 miles) and Alfred Quan, 421 laps (47 miles).

15th Annual Ashley Falls Neighborhood Garage Sale benefits Ashley Falls Elementary PTA Don’t miss the fabulous buys at the 15th Annual Ashley Falls Neighborhood Garage Sale, which will be held Saturday, June 4, beginning at 7 a.m. Local homeowner and realtor Robbi Campbell with Robbi Campbell Properties, of Real Living Lifestyles in Carmel Valley, is again sponsoring this community event. Homeowners participating in the garage sale will be placing their own merchandise on their individual driveways making it easy and fun for the shoppers. “We are providing all the advertising, directional signs and pricing stickers for the homeowner’s merchandise.� Campbell said. “Our last 13 sales were extremely successful. The response from the homeowners and the shoppers was again so positive that we have continued to make our garage sale an annual event. Last year, we had over 90 homeowners participating! Since Robbi lives and works in the community, she feels that organizing this event is a genuine way of giving back. Once again this year, Ashley Falls Elementary PTA has been designated the benefactor of this garage sale by encouraging the homeowners to donate a portion of their proceeds to our wonderful area school. Again this year, Campbell will match all contributions donated by the homeowners. To shop at the community garage sales, just follow Del Mar Heights Road east to Ashley Falls Drive. Either go straight and make a right at Seagrove and follow the garage sale signs. You may also follow signs from Carmel Country where it meets Freeway 56, north to Carmel Canyon, make right to Carmel Knolls and follow signs. There will be maps available at both entrances.

CCA teen wins women’s shortboard title at championship BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Surfer Danny Dean is ticking down the days until it’s officially summer. School’s out on June 17 and starting then she’ll be dropped off at the beach at 7 a.m. and ride the ocean all day long. The 16-yearold Canyon Crest Academy student is just putting in the necessary work toward her goal of becoming a professional surfer. Danny recently won the open women’s shortboard title at the Western Surfing Association’s Gatorade Hoppy Swartz Memorial West Coast Championships on May 14-15, also finishing fourth in the girls under-18 division. In addition to her individual accomplishments, she also competes for the Canyon Crest Academy surf team. The junior was named this year’s MVP. “The ocean definitely has to cooperate,” said Danny of her performances in surf contests. “I like competing because it really
puts my skills to the test and I’m a competitive person.” Danny started surfing when she was 10, but really started to take it more seriously at age 13. She credits Rancho Del Mar Surf Camp and Dan Mori of Fulcrum Surf for really helping to develop her talent on the waves. “(Fulcrum) helped me out a lot and kind of set me up,” Danny said. Danny is in the water every day—she gets out early from school to surf in the afternoons. Twice a week Danny trains at Dean Sports Consulting’s training facility in San Clemente, run by Kevyn Dean, the medical director and lead trainer for Surfing America and the PacSun USA Surf Team. Her favorite surf spot is Seaside near Cardiff, which she praised for its “left and right” and because she’s met so many friends there. She has been fortunate to surf some pretty amazing spots in the world—she’s

Her dream is to surf Bali, Australia and Fiji. The better Danny performs in competition, the higher her ranking and the more opportunity for spon-
sorships. She is currently sponsored by Matuse wetsuits and Arnette sunglasses, but is hoping to get more sponsors, possibly a clothing or shoe sponsorship. Competing individually, she surfs in the Fulcrum Series and the Rip Curl GromSearch and is hoping
to start doing QS events that would qualify her for the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour. Being on the tour is her ultimate goal, one she hopes to accomplish before she’s 20. “I love the feeling when I do a really good turn, I just love everything
about surfing,” said Danny. “I want to make it a career.” Danny is now teaching surfing at the Rancho Del Mar Surf Camp where she honed her skills and she also offers private lessons. If interested in sponsorship of Danny or for lessons, email beachbuumm@yahoo.

13557 MANGO DEL MAR Red Day Reaps Rewards In an impressive display of community involvement, the associates at Keller Williams Realty in Carmel Valley donned red T-shirts and blanketed the Carmel Valley area on Thursday May 12. It was their “3rd Annual Red Day Food Drive” for young military families at Camp Pendleton and they collected 1,402 bags of nonperishables – more than the number achieved last year. Agents got involved in the community with their friends, families, clubs, and neighbors. Bags were collected from people’s front porches and from shoppers at local grocery stores, then brought to the Keller Williams office at El Camino Real and loaded in a trailer bound for Camp Pendleton. These groceries will be distributed by Military Outreach Ministries to the families in uniform, in hopes of helping them with budgetary stresses such as deployment or transfer. Keller Williams Realty Carmel Valley thanks all who donated so generously. Red Day is observed each year by Keller Williams offices nationwide where each office shows love of their community.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Top cardiologist goes the extra mile for patients BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER Cardiologist Robert Orr, M.D., F.A.C.C., has been fascinated with the heart since he was a child, and today he still carries that passion for his work. After more than 20 years in cardiology, Dr. Orr has earned a name for himself as an expert in his field, a reputation that has earned him spots on local TV segments, live medical talk shows, and several national and international commercials. “If I can do something to make the public more aware of important health issues, then I’m all for it,” he said. “After I go on-air there will be phone calls the next day from people who heard the message. If I can help to save someone’s life by educating them, that feels great.” Dr. Orr carries that dedication and desire to help into his practice, California Coastal Cardiology, where he always goes the extra mile for his patients. Recently, for example, one of his patients went on trip to Tanzania in East Africa when she began having health issues. Thankfully, Dr. Orr had given her a USB memory drive that had a digital copy of all her medical records on it. The patient was able to give those medical records to a doctor in Tanzania, who then had a live video conference with Dr. Orr to discuss treatment. This technology could have very well have saved the patient’s life, and it was possible thanks to an innovative concierge service plan Dr. Orr offers. For a fee, California
Dr. Robert Orr Coastal Cardiology patients can join the concierge service plan, which gives them premium, individualized health care, including: their medical records on a USB memory drive; a series of indepth tests and analyses; same-day appointments
with the cardiologist; and the ability to speak directly with a doctor or nurse practitioner to review lab results or answer questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Patients can also upgrade that package to include house calls when needed and gain access to the cardiologist by cell phone any time, or via video conference. California Coastal Cardiology has two locations: 169 Saxony Road, suite #105, Encinitas CA 92024, call 760-635-9171; and 1235 W. Vista Way, suite L, Vista CA, 92083, call 760-6301606.

Since I’ve yet to bend to their rules and drag myself down there to pay for my document, I am unable to report on the costs to date for the McClain litigation.

Costs running high Taking Crosier’s advice, I contacted the district’s legal counsel on the case, Daniel Shinoff of Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, and asked him to shed some light on the questions SDCOE refused to answer. He said the language in the coverage states that JPA litigation insurance covers the costs should the district lose. And if the district wins, attorneys’ fees expended before the JPA took over the case cannot be recovered. “Each side bears their own attorneys’ fees, absent a contract or a statute,” Shinoff said, in an interview in April. “This contract didn’t have an attorneys’ fees provision in it.” If there is a settlement, Shinoff said the terms will become public. “When it involves a public institution and public money, you cannot have a secret settlement agreement,” he said. “People may not want to talk about it, but the terms of the settlement agreement become a public record.” And the odds of settlement? He said the JPA won’t apply pressure either way but does have “professional responsibilities and ethical obligations to tell their perspective.” He said the JPA wants to have a voice in the resolution of cases, but the final decision “will be in the hands of the school board.” Shinoff thinks the DMUSD has a winning case and that it will go to trial without a settlement. “I don’t believe they’re going to walk away from it, but ultimately it’s going to be up to the board of trustees of the school district to decide that,” he said. On the other hand, Shinoff echoed Peabody’s concern that there might be incentive to settle to avoid rising premiums, should the case become too costly or its odds of prevailing diminish. “That is something that the board may want to take a look at, you bet,” he said. Regarding my single-page document with expenses to date, Shinoff did not know the answer but, reflecting bias in favor of his client’s position, suggested that costs are running high. “I do know that Dr. McClain’s lawyer is trying to make it as expensive as possible,” he said. “He sends out interrogatories and then he sends meet-and-confirm letters because he doesn’t like our responses. So that becomes expensive because you have to respond to all that.” If I don’t bow to the almighty bureaucracy’s inflexible and unreasonable demands, the costs may remain hidden. And the longer I wait, the greater the chances that my one-page document will stretch to two, thus increasing my copying cost by ten cents. I just don’t know if my pocketbook can handle it.

Lightner to run for re-election San Diego District One Councilmember Sherri Lightner announced last week that she has filed her statement of intent to run for re-election to the San Diego City Council. In a press release, she said she “has worked to balance the need for fiscal responsibility with the preservation of public safety and core neighborhood services.” “I’m proud of what I have accomplished since taking office two and a half years ago,” Lightner said. “I have worked to make tough, sensible cuts while always keeping the best interests of our neighborhoods in mind.” She added that she has kept a “campaign promise to give a real voice to the neighborhoods. Constituents in District 1 know they can contact my office and get help with anything from potholes to street sweeping to code compliance.” Going forward, her release said she plans to focus on issues that benefit both District 1 and the city as a whole, including public safety, neighborhood services, pension reform, smart growth and economic development.

CV Dons Spring Tackle Team off to 6-0 start The Carmel Valley Dons Spring 8 Tackle Football 3rd-4th grade team has started its season with an impressive six-game winning streak. In a recent game against the Mira Mesa Gold team (5-0 at that time), the Dons players demonstrated a strong defensive show, allowing only one touchdown. Outstanding linebacker play by Zackary Thorn (19), AJ Gustaveson (5), and Jack Foate (20) held the Mira Mesa team to only three first downs. Game captain, Crew Fritsch commented, “We got such good defensive line play by Justin Vilchis (28) , Logan Berzins (11), Leo Silverman (32), and Troy Manzano (18) made it all possible.” On the offensive side, outstanding blocking by Mark Lingren and Chaz Talman proved too much for Mira Mesa at the CV Dons won decisively 20-7. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football League was formed in 2010 to create a highly competitive Division 1 Youth Football Program in the Carmel Valley area to prepare top athletes for high school football. The League’s home stadium is Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) and players proudly wear the colors of CCHS. Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, much of the team’s first year success can be attributed to the support of Cathedral’s Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola. For information about the League, visit www.cvdons.com. Fall registration is now open for boys ages 5-14.

Q. Brad: I have a question concerning new car warranties. Why is it that the manufacturers don’t have a consistent “new car warranty”? Some are three-year, 36,000 mile; othDave Stall ers are four-year, 50,000-mile warranty and then there are the guys with the 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty. What gives? Why can’t we have a consistent across-the-board warranty? Preferably the 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty. Another point worth mentioning: The warranties applied to new cars do not seem to align with the price of the car or truck. You would think that the more you pay, the longer the warranty.
Q. Betty: How do you find the color code for your car or truck? I need some touch-up paint and I don’t know how to go about it. If you could help, I would appreciate it.
A. Dave: I have been preaching this for more years than I can admit and no one is listening, and I don’t mean the manufacturers — I mean you the consumers. As long as we keep buying vehicles with what I call substandard warranty coverage, then they will keep giving us substandard warranties. A case in point: BMW. They will give you a four-year, 50,000-mile power train warranty. After a lot of complaining about this from consumers, now BMW is also picking up all repairs, even wear items on all models. The public pressure does work and trust me, the manufacturer is listening.
Q. Sally: What would you suggest if you are looking at new cars — buy or lease?
A. Dave: Depending on the age of your vehicle, you should have a paint code located on the door jam of your driver’s door. If you can’t find it, take your vehicle to the dealership and have the service adviser find it for you. If this fails, you can have a good body shop remove the gas door and keep it until they find a color match using the gas door as a sample. Once they have the paint in a bottle all they have to do is replace the gas door and you are set. You can also go to NAPA at 7440 Convoy Court and see the manager in the paint department and he or she could probably make you up a sample in either a can or spray container.
A. Dave: That could be a loaded question. The key difference is mileage. If you put more than 12,000 miles on your car yearly, then forget about leasing. The only other drawback is when the lease is up you need to return the leased vehicle back to the dealer in the condition you bought it in! If not, they will send it to a body shop, have the car detailed, fix any damage, replace the tires if needed and you get the bill! You need to do all of this before you return the vehicle back to the dealer.

Lady Falcons repeat with second CIF section lacrosse title In a tough matchup of two stong opponents who had not met all season, Torrey Pines women’s lacrosse easily sealed their second CIF victory in a row over Rancho Bernardo on May 21 in the San Diego Division I championship game at the Westview High School. The Falcon’s 18-5 victory over the second-seeded Broncos was a fabulous send-off for Torrey Pines seniors Caroline Boucher, Kelly Connor, Lauren Humann, Anna Knowles, Caroline Paulson, Katie Trees and Carrie Yang. who all have made significant contributions to building the Torrey Pines women’s lacrosse program during the past four years. Torrey Pines first-year head coach Kaitlin Swagart was also a huge factor as assistant varsity coach in the Falcons’ CIF victory last year. The daunting Falcon defense, led by goalkeeper Carrie Yang and Paulson. who notched an assist, kept Rancho Bernardo scoreless for the first 17 minutes of the match with Torrey Pines Kacey McKinnon finding the back of the net twice and Trees and freshman Camille Doan each adding one of their own. The Broncos’ lone goal of the first half was promptly answered back by senior attacker Knowles with her first of four goals on an assist by Trees, who in turn scored four more goals in a row in less than four minutes. Senior middie Boucher notched her first of three goals and three assists for the match to widen the gap even more before the first half ended with the score at 10-1 in favor of the Falcons. Yang notched six saves in her last game as an accomplished three-year starter in goal for the Falcons. Relentless defense by Paulson, Connor, Molly Bettencourt, Chandler Baldwin, and Kiana Drawhorn thwarted any chance of a Bronco comeback in the second half. Freshman McKinnon represented the future of Torrey Pines women’s lacrosse with her third goal of the day, but it was the senior offense that bid farewell with a flurry with Knowles and Boucher adding three and two goals respectively, Humann one, and Trees scoring her sixth goal and second assist of the match.

Beast takes championship in 12U Division In dramatic fashion, the Beast won the 12U championship of the North Shore Girls Softball League’s recreational season. The Beast held the Ninjas in the last inning for a thrilling 7-6 win. In the bottom of the 7th inning, the Ninjas loaded the bases with one out and trailing 7-6. Beast pitcher Courtney Kim was on the mound and got the last two batters out to finish the game. Earlier, the Ninjas made a heroic comeback effort battling from a 0-5 deficit to tie the game 5-5, and then again at 6-6 before falling short in their last at bat. Abby Ausmus drove in the winning run for the Beast in the top of the 7th inning. Ausmus, along with Kim and Morgan Reed, held off the Ninjas with outstanding pitching. “It was an exciting way to finish the rec season,” said Beast manager Brad Ausmus. “The girls on both teams made many great plays throughout the game and never gave up in pursuit of the championship.” North Shore is in its 23rd year of operation and is proud to have produced some of the finest players to play at local San Diego high schools, including the Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest softball programs.

Orr savors life as Master Sommelier As the wine director for new San Diego wine company Vineagogo, Del Mar resident Josh Orr is occasionally spotted around town making deliveries or appearances in “Merlot,” the company’s 1964 DIVCO milk truck. After months of diligent studying, Orr recently achieved his personal goal of receiving the Rudd Scholarship for top honors in passing the advanced certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers, making him one of less than 400 Advanced Sommeliers worldwide. As a result, Orr is currently a candidate to become a Master Sommelier, of which there are less than 200 internationally. Orr found his passion for wine while at college in Josh Orr San Luis Obispo, Calif., which was a bit out of left field being that he was raised in the conservative confines of Salt Lake City, Utah. Moving from one wine-centric area to another, he spent one year in the famed Burgundy wine region of France, and continued his wine journey working as a sommelier at Mario Batali’s B&B Ristorante, and Fiamma Trattoria in Las Vegas. Orr and his fiancée, Megan Boyer, are planning to wed this summer, and are excited to start their lives together while living in San Diego.
1. What brought you to this area? San Diego is such a beautiful area that the thought of staying in Vegas or moving here didn’t even raise an eyebrow. The wild and nonstop nature of Vegas appeals to the weekend warrior, however locals always seem to be looking for a way out. So when one arose, especially to a place like San Diego, I jumped at it and am thankful I did. San Diego was an easy choice because of how great life is here and landing a job at Vineagogo just sealed the deal. 2. What makes this area special to you? Anything you’d like to see improved? San Diego has a unique combination of big city living and cali-surfer-laid-back lifestyles. It is also really nice being close to the ocean. I would like to see more people push the envelope with food and wine the way it seems the breweries do down here. There is an incredible culture for artisan beer here, maybe the best in the world. If wine could channel even half that energy and enthusi-

Science professor tackles ‘unfinished business’ of writing thriller and science fiction novels Author to discuss novel at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor For Marc André Meyers, Ph.D., whose continuing career as a researcher spanning more than 40 years has gained him a worldwide scientific reputation, writing novels is simply taking care of “unfinished business,” something he always wanted to do and is now doing. Meyers is a Distinguished Professor of Materials Science at the University of California San Diego. He heads a materials science group at UCSD: he is an expert in explosives, but for the past 10 years has concentrated on applying his research to biological materials; he is the author of three science and engineering books, including the classic textbook, “Dynamic Behavior of Materials” (J. Wiley, 1994); and, most recently, he authored two novels, the December-released thriller “Chechnya Jihad” and the 2006 science fiction novel “Mayan Mars.” A book-signing and discussion with Meyers is scheduled for Saturday, May 28, at 2 p.m. in the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore, 7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Suite #302, San Diego; and at the UCSD Bookstore, Tuesday, May 31, at noon. We interviewed Meyers recently in his bungalow-style home near the beach in Del Mar. At 64, Meyers is gray-haired, tall, lean, sophisticated, well-travelled, fluent in five languages, a divorced father of two grown children and grandfather of two, who keeps in shape surfing, jogging and kayaking. He was born in João Montevade, Brazil, “a deep valley, surrounded by woods and the pungent smell of a steel plant that spewed fire and dust over the region.” Meyers showed an early talent and enthusiasm for writing that was encouraged in school by Dutch nuns and a priest, Padre Henriques, who formed a literary association. The boy dreamt of one day becoming a writer. “But my father was an engineer and he said: ‘Marc, study engineering and you’ll always have a good job.’” Meyers’ father was a metallurgical engineer who, with a group of other engineers, had emigrated from Luxembourg to build the town’s steel plant. Meyers was one of four brothers in his family. Before beginning his engineering studies at Brazil’s Federal University of Minas Gerais, he studied in Belgium, interned as a newspaper reporter in Brazil and served in the Brazilian Army. In his senior year of engineering, (“I don’t recall which dictator ruled Brazil at the time”) he completed a book of poetry, with

He wanted to become a published poet before going to graduate school. “At the time, and unknowingly to us, military censors would routinely check every printed word in university print shops,” Meyers said. Shortly afterwards, the director of the school called Meyers in and told him that the feared SNI (National Information Service) had paid a visit and were demanding an explanation for the publication of Meyer’s poems which they considered as “inflammatory and subversive material.” If they opened an investigation, Meyers would have had to remain in Brazil for three years and delay going to graduate school in the U.S. Meyers chose to leave Brazil in a hurry, forfeiting a Fulbright fellowship for which he had been a finalist. Thirty years later, he would republish his original poems, translated into English, and with additional poems, titled Abcission/Implosion (Writers Club Press. 2001). After leaving Brazil, Meyers joined his brother in Denver, where he obtained an assistantship at the University of Denver, and later earned a master’s degree and doctorate in materials science and engineering.

Torrey Pines High School grad headed to Harvard Medical School Amy O’Brien, a 2006 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, will begin her studies at Harvard Medical School this August. Amy graduated from Torrey Pines in 2006. While attending Torrey Pines, she was an active participant in the AVID program. Targeting students who are considered to be educationally disadvantaged, AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) is an elementary through postsecondary college readiness system that is designed to increase school-wide learning and performance. The AVID system accelerates student learning, uses research based methods of effective instruction, provides meaningful and motivational professional development, and acts as a catalyst for systemic Amy O’Brien reform and change. Following her success at Torrey Pines, Amy went on to study biology at Brown University in Providence, RI. While at Brown, she was on the equestrian team. She began her studies focusing on creative writing, but went on to graduate from Brown University with honors in biology and immunology in 2010. She credits her change of direction to her experiences mentoring at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, where she found a desire to pursue medicine. After graduation, Amy began work at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn. Founded by actor Paul Newman in 1988, and named for the secret, outlaw hidingplace from his film “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp has been serving seriously ill children with a remarkably empowering away experience for more than 20 years. Amy was a counselor at the camp last summer and plans to return this summer prior to her matriculation into medical school. Her experience at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp has solidified her desire to pursue a career in pediatrics following medical school.

Canyon Crest student accepted into 2011 Youth Documentary Program The San Diego Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) recently announced that Canyon Crest Academy student Alexander Powell has been accepted into this year’s 2011 REEL VOICES program. Powell will be joining nine other local high school students as they work together over the summer learning about filmmaking from professionals and creating their very own short documentary that will screen at this year’s 12th San Diego Asian Film Festival (Oct. 20-28, 2011). “Each year, the quality of our applications gets better, and it’s harder to narrow down to just 10 students to select. Alexander had an exceptional essay, and we think he has incredible potential to become San Diego’s next filmmaker,” REELVOICES director Mike Watson said. REEL VOICES is a free, 12-week summer internship beginning June 18 that helps students become socially conscious storytellers.
During the REEL VOICES program, students learn videography and editing using professional equipment, and experience all stages of production and post-production. At the end of the program, each student will have completed a short documentary that premieres at the annual San Diego Asian Film Festival in October. Films created during the previous 2010 REEL VOICES program have gone on to be screened at Film Festivals around the country, including the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and the National Film Festival for Talented Youth in Seattle Washington. They’ve also gone on to win awards, including three filmmakers winning a prestigious Innovative Video in Education (IVIE) Award. More information about the program can be found at www.sdaff.org or contacting reelvoices@sdaff.org.

Local residents plan Mt. Kilimanjaro hike to raise funds for Parkinson’s disease research •Gr oup invites others to join them May 29 for Torrey Pines hike
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Carmel Valley nurse practitioner Sherrie Gould is leading a team of hikers up Mt. Kilimanjaro this year to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease research. Since March, Gould and 14 hikers, all of whom are Parkinson’s patients or family members, have been training for “Summit 4 Stem Cell,� aiming not only to conquer the 19,339-foot African peak but make a contribution toward the groundbreaking non-embryonic stem cell research going on right here in San Diego. “This new therapy would hold huge promise for people with Parkinson’s,� said Gould, who works in the Scripps Clinic Torrey Pines’ Division of Neurology. She said while many people have heard of embryonic stem cell research, not many know about stem cells made from a patient’s own cells. “We are truly on the cutting edge and that’s what makes this so exciting,� Gould said. Summit 4 Stem Cell invites the public to come out and hike with them this Sunday, May 29, at 10 a.m. at the base of Torrey Pines State Park. Gould said it will not only help raise awareness for their mission but it’s also just a great healthy hike for anyone. “The more people we can get out there the more amazing it will be,� said Gould. “We want it to be a big deal, we’d love the support, it’s really important for those of us in training.� Summit 4 Stem Cell plans to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro on Sept. 4, a journey to the summit that is expected to take seven days. “It is a grueling, very tough climb,� Gould said. “You have to be in incredibly great physical shape.� Gould is doing her best to get her team ready—in their
Sherrie Gould, far right, leads her Summit 4 Stem Cell group on a practice hike from Lake Poway to Mt. Woodson. Photo/Andrew Szikla training they will hike Iron Mountain next week and San Jacinto, an 11,000-foot peak in June. Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the brain and nervous system that progresses with the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Gould describes it as a debilitating disease that effects movement, balance and “executive functions� that we sometimes take for granted. The average age of diagnosis is 62 years old. The pilot project is being conducted by Dr. Jeanne Loring, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Scripps Research Institute, and Dr. Melissa Houser, director of the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center and the Deep Brain Stimulation Center at the Scripps Clinic. “What makes this research incredibly unique and amaz-
ing is that the technology now exists to take skin cells and create pluripotent stem cells,� Gould said. The pluripotent stem calls have the ability to become any cell in the body and can also become dopaminergic neurons. Considering many Parkinson’s patients have lost 80 percent of their dopaminergic neurons, it’s like “filling the bucket back up in a sense,� she said. “No one has discovered how to cure Parkinson’s, but this is a treatment to help stay ahead of the disease,� Gould said. Phase two of their program, which will include FDA approval, will take those banked cells and make an extremely pure colony of cells made from the patient’s own cells. By using the patient’s own skin cells, they are bypassing the ethical and political hurdles that have accompanied stem cell research to date. Beyond the research, Gould has always been a big advocate for exercise as it can impact the course of Parkinson’s disease. She said the hike really sums up everything she stresses with patients— exercise, attitude, determination and going beyond perceived limitations. “We know the climb is a courageous act,� Gould said. “It’s our way of inspiring all who face seemingly insurmountable odds to rise above them and escape the limitations we all set for ourselves.� All hikers are paying their own way for the trip and all money raised will go to fund the pilot project. All donations are tax-deductible and fundraising has the support of the Parkinson’s Association of San Diego. Donations can be made by visiting www.summit4stemcell.org. The group is also looking for Parkinson’s patients who would like to join them on the Kilimanjaro climb. If interested, call (858) 5549924.

CCA student earns Eagle Scout Award Canyon Crest Academy student Dillon Patel, a member of Troop 765, has earned scouting’s highest honor, the Eagle Scout Award. Dillon, along with the members of Troop 765, built a California Native Plant Garden for the school benefiting not only the community, but also the biology department and all future science classes. Dillon was inspired by Mrs. Andrea Lawless of CCA and focused on the three main plant communities of California that will survive at the site: Chaparral, Desert, and Coastal Sage Scrub. He labeled each plant with a sign consisting of the scientific name, common name and plant communities. He also created a guide for the classroom. The science students of CCA will be able to explore and learn about the rich diversity of native plants in California. It is part of the biology curriculum to learn about and study native plants, and the garden will give the students hands-on experience. The Native Plant Garden benefits the community and the school by showing ways to cut-down on water usage in an environmentally friendly and beautiful way. Dillon Patel Currently, CCA is “going green” through the use of various technologies, and this project displays a similar idea. The area Dillon chose was undeveloped and his project made the school landscaping more appealing. CCA’s water usage will be reduced because the native plants only require one day of watering as opposed to three days per week required by ornamental plants. In addition, the cost of fertilizing will be zero because native plants survive in their native soil. The lack of fertilizing will help the environment because the fertilizer used for ornamental plants gets into the water supply. This will then run off into the streams, rivers, and oceans damaging the environment greatly. Dillon’s project fits perfectly into CCA’s environmentally-friendly campus plans. The garden was dedicated to Canyon Crest Academy with the support of Troop 765 friends and family, CCA Foundation and administration, Moosa Creek Nursery, Walter Anderson Nursery, and KRC Rock. Dillon’s favorite memory of boy scouting is backpacking to the Mt. Whitney peak; the training hikes included various local hikes, including Mt. San Jacinto and Mt. San Gorgonio. “These hikes taught me patience, endurance and life-long leadership skills. Earning my Eagle Rank is not the end, but just the beginning of my adventurous life,” says Dillon. This summer, Dillon looks forward to an engineering camp at Stanford University, volunteering, swimming, playing water polo, fencing, and a Boy Scout Philmont backpacking expedition.

SB resident advocates all-natural health remedy to high cholesterol BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer After 16 years in the medical device and research world, Solana Beach resident David McMahon is a bona fide numbers guy who stays steeped in black-and-white scientific data. So, he might not be the first person you’d expect would turn to an allnatural health remedy — but when his cholesterol levels crept dangerously high, that’s precisely where his research led him. McMahon is now an advocate of Cardiol, an FDA-registered natural alternative to the pharmaceutical drugs used to treat high cholesterol. Through his newly launched company Solana Health, McMahon is aiming to educate more people about this alternative, which he said has changed his life in a big way. McMahon, like many Americans, has long battled high cholesterol. He was able to keep it in check through proper diet and exercise, that is, until he turned 40. Instead of handing him a prescription, his doctor recommended he be-
If you go During this year’s Fiesta del Sol, which is scheduled for June 4 and 5, the Del Sol Lions Club will be providing free cholesterol screenings. David McMahon will also have a booth at this year’s Fiesta del Sol. Accutech, a local company that sells at-home cholesterol tests, has also donated 120 kits. McMahon will be offering those in conjunction with “a Cardiol starter kit” so people can track their own progress. gin an all-natural regimen of omega-3 fatty acids and red yeast rice with a supplement of CoQ 10. Red yeast rice is an extract from a fungus that naturally occurs, and pharmaceutical companies have synthesized it to develop a class of drugs called Statin, which are now used to lower cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fat-
ty fish varieties like sardines and herring, have several health benefits — including raising HDL cholesterol, known as the “good cholesterol,” and decreasing triglycerides, which have been linked to heart attacks. Staying true to his datadriven roots, McMahon went home and started researching the red yeast rice and omega-3 fatty acid regimen his doctor had recommended. “The big clincher for me was a 2008 study by the Mayo Clinic,” he explained. The 12-week study compared two groups of patients with high cholesterol, one used Statin drugs and the other used red-yeast rice and omega-3 fatty acids. Ultimately, he said, the study concluded that both groups saw their cholesterol levels drop about 40 percent — but those taking red yeast rice needed a much smaller quantity to achieve the same result. McMahon said he also read studies that showed it was not uncommon for Statin drug-users to report severe muscle pain as a side effect, though that was not the case for those
David McMahon who took red yeast rice. “That was it, the data won me over,” McMahon said. He took his doctor’s advice and started the all-natural regimen and sure enough, his cholesterol went down 20 percent within weeks. But there was still one problem: “I was taking six pills a day and spending $80 a month to keep it up,” he said. “I figured there has to be an ‘all-in-one’ pill for this.” So he began searching
online and discovered Cardiol, which is produced in Italy and has been selling in Europe for years. Unlike the U.S., Europe highly regulates its natural supplements and has high standards. But because Cardiol is produced in Italy, McMahon discovered it would be tricky to have it shipped to the U.S. because of government regulations. McMahon has since gotten Cardiol registered with the FDA and has exclusive rights to distribute throughout North America. He now
sells it for $40 a month (or $35 a month if bought in bulk) through his company Solana Health. McMahon has also been taking Cardiol for a couple of months, and said since then, his cholesterol levels have stayed low and his ‘good cholesterol’ levels have gone up about 33 percent, and he’s seen a drop in his triglycerides. “I’ve put my mom on it, that’s how much I believe in it,” he said of Cardiol, which comes with a 60day money-back guarantee. “This is something that’s all natural, convenient, affordable, and proven effective. A lot of doctors are prescribing Statin drugs because it’s the only trick in their bag — and that might be the right fit for some people, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for everyone.” For that reason he encourages anyone suffering from high cholesterol to do their homework about natural alternatives and, in fact, McMahon offers a free e-book on the topic at HowToLowerCholesterolLevels. net.

Jake’s Del Mar is only steps away from the beach.
Pecan-Crusted Sea Bass with roasted red pepper butter and rock shrimp cous cous
The surf, the sand, the sunsets … and Jake’s Del Mar … such a treat! BY KELLEY CARLSON ife’s a beach at Jake’s Del Mar with its sunny, smiling servers. Located just steps from the sand, bordering the north end of Powerhouse Park, Jake’s is “really about the people,” said partner and general manager Perry Ustick. “So many of the guests are friends of ours. We’ve developed great relationships over the years.” The staff also takes time to help the community. Each month, Jake’s sends volunteers to the San Diego Food Bank to sort through food and portion it out for families. And each night, Jake’s offers a Chef’s Special, in which chef Dustin Anselm creates an offthe-menu entree, and a portion of the proceeds is donated to the food bank. So far this year, the restaurant has raised $29,000. Jake’s has a long history with the Del Mar community. A century ago, it was the site of the Stratford Inn Garage; when that building had to be torn down, the wood trusses were saved and incorporated into the current structure, and can be seen overhead by restaurant guests. Artwork depicting Jake’s past and other local scenes are displayed on the walls. Patrons of the 30-year-old restaurant can view the decor from the inside dining room,

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: Jake’s Sea Bass with Cous Cous which features booths and round tables; the bar; and the deck, which has large windows that open and allow for ocean breezes. Guests may also sit outdoors — there’s a patio with a retractable awning, heat lamps, and direct access to the beach and park. Ustick describes the menu at Jake’s as eclectic — preparations range from South Pacific to Mediterranean, basic American to new American. And he emphasized that it’s not strictly a seafood restaurant, which some people mistakenly believe. Sunday brunch includes dishes such as Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Hawaiian “Loco Moco” and Vanilla Bean Custard French Toast. Later in the day, there’s PecanCrusted Sea Bass, All-Natural Filet Mignon and Tournedos of Beef Tenderloin, along with appetizers,
soups and salads. Ustick’s favorites include the Mixed Seafood Pot (Maine lobster, scallops, shrimp, fresh fish and saffron tomato broth) and Macadamia Nut-Crusted Salmon. For dessert, there’s Kimo’s Original Hula Pie and Mango Raspberry Shortcake, among others. Kids have their own special menu. They can choose from entrees such as tempura shrimp, hamburger, grilled chicken breast, and mac and cheese — and they can color while they wait. Happy hour is celebrated Monday to Saturday at Jake’s, and bistro items are priced at 40-percent to 50-percent off. Tuesdays, starting at 4 p.m., features appetizers and bottles of wine at a discount, along with $3 local beer specials. As part of its relationship with Duke’s restaurants in Hawaii, Jake’s offers Waikiki Wednesdays at 4 p.m. when patrons can order Duke’s Fish Tacos for $6 and Duke’s Mai Tais for $4. For regular dining, Ustick said it’s best to make reservations, although guests can often walk in. There is self-seating at the bar. “Take a walk on the beach, come in for happy hour, get a burger and beer for under $15,” Ustick said. “Or get a nice bottle of wine and have a three-, fourcourse meal.”

Asher Lev explores what it means to be an artist in gripping drama BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok’s adaptation of Potok’s classic novel, “The Chosen,” received critical and audience acclaim in 1967. The adaptation of another Potok novel, “My Name Is Asher Lev,” will have its world premiere at North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT). The story of a young Hassidic artist torn between observance of his Jewish faith and the conflict of who he truly is runs June 1-26. NCRT artistic director David Ellenstein has a long history with Potok’s books and the play adaptation of “The Chosen,” which he produced five times across the country. “It’s an important part of my life,” Ellenstein said. “I’ve always had an infinity and connection to Potok’s writing. I read ‘Asher’ many years ago and the book had a profound effect on me. I contacted Aaron Posner, who did the play adaptation, and we did a reading of it for the Jewish Arts Festival several years ago. The audience was so engaged we decided to put it this season’s lineup.” In the drama, Asher is an artistic genius whose gift and passion for drawing and painting is in conflict with some Jewish laws. “It really is about being true to yourself,” Ellenstein said. “It’s about the balance of one’s faith and culture and one’s calling to pursue what he feels is necessary. The play also deals with where the line is crossed or not crossed, as to doing what one needs to do or not do, and how hurtful it might be to those they care about. “Certainly those familial and societal issues are relevant at any time. But Potok’s writing resonates beyond a specific community – it could be about any group of people dealing with these issues.”
Ellenstein directs “My Name Is Asher Lev,” which is performed by three actors: Ellenstein, Craig De Lorenzo and Crystal Sershen. Ellenstein’s career at NCRT includes direction of a long list of plays and acting performances in many as well. “This one has been tricky; not as easy as when I directed and appeared in

‘Talley’s Folly,’ ” Ellenstein said. “Chris Williams is co-director and that’s helped me immerse myself more in my character.” NCRT expects high demand for tickets to “My Name Is Asher Lev,” and Ellenstein said he understands why. “After I read Potok’s book, I was more tolerant of all people, and that no matter how weird their customs might be you, you have to look past that and see where they come from and who they are. “What people are mostly after, is the same thing: being in touch with humanity and God in their own observation. I think Potok communicates that well. The play has humor, is heartfelt, and intelligently and emotionally gripping. It takes you on an intensive journey.”

Fundraiser to be held at Premier Martial Arts for Rady Children’s Hospital In conjunction with Premier Martial Arts of Encinitas, the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary is holding its first annual Board Break-a-Thon June 4 to raise money for the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Rady Children’s Hospital.

Students enrolled in classes at the studio are soliciting sponsorships to break boards for the June 4 fundraiser. Courage said the event is open to non-members as well. “It’s a good opportunity to teach the children about doing for others, to learn about doing unselfish deeds for others, and to think about those who are less fortunate,” said Courage. “It’s part of what we teach here at the studio. Community members and supporters of Rady Children’s Hospital can sponsor karate students in their efforts to break boards. Sponsorships to purchase the boards are also available.

(L-R) Charlie Reed, Twins coach and Miracle League board member Kenny Blattenbauer, NBC-7 sports anchor Jim Laslavic; Front: Sam Burt.
TPHS senior earns ‘2011 Outstanding Service Award’ from Miracle League of San Diego The Miracle League of San Diego recently recognized Charlotte “Charlie” Reed, 17, by presenting her with the 2011 Outstanding Service Award. This award, along with a $250 scholarship, is presented annually to the graduating senior who demonstrates outstanding service and dedication as a Miracle League Buddy. Charlie has participated in the Miracle League since its inception, and for the past seven seasons has served as buddy to Sam Burt, also 17. The Burt and Reed families have been friends since before the birth of their children and had one day envisioned them growing up together. When Sam was born with a rare genetic disorder, that vision changed in an instant, but leave it to Charlie to find a way for the two friends to share an activity and make that dream a reality. She called up Sam’s mom Deborah, told her to sign him up and the rest is history. Volunteering with the Miracle League is not the Torrey Pines senior’s only charitable interest. As a young girl, in lieu of gifts for her 5th birthday, she requested that her party guests donate to the Helen Woodward Animal Center. She has participated in the local Kids Korps chapter, and is an active board member for the charity Water For Sudan. Charlie has chaired many events, raising more than $10,000 for this organization which builds water wells in southern Sudan. In addition, she donated $1,000 to the Miracle League of San Diego which she raised by putting on a children’s theatre camp in her backyard. Charlie will be attending Berkeley in the fall and will no doubt continue her efforts to help others. The Miracle League, along with the Burt family is grateful to Charlie for her commitment to helping others. When asked about Charlie, Deborah Burt replied,“Charlie will make a difference on this earth.” It appears as though she is well on her way. For more information, visit www.miracleleagueofsandiego.org

Being a newbie to San Diego, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do San Diego things I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done yet: Join in the debate on who has the better burger between Ho-dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Rockyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, have another cocktail at Noble Experiment, tailgate at a Charger game with all the diehard Charger fans, two words- brewery crawl and last, but not least, help Vineagogo become one of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best spots for wine and food. 9. What is your favorite vacation spot? It would have to be either Cinque Terre in Italy or the French Riviera, two of the most beautiful places on earth. When you are there time just seems to slow down. 10. What is your philosophy of life? Life is what you make of it. Fate plays a role, but in the end you are the only one inside there making the decisions.

asm, San Diego could rival San Francisco in terms of global appeal for beer, food and wine. 3. Who or what inspires you? The almighty grapevine is what inspires me the most. No other fruit produces anything like wine, with its unique flavors that can be traced back to one place in the world. I am also inspired by the Master Sommeliers that I have had the pleasure of meeting or working with as wine director at Vineagogo. They are incredible individuals with talents the likes of which us mere mortals only dream of. I am inspired to work harder by the thought of one day joining their ranks 4. If you hosted a dinner party for eight whom would you invite? Robert Mondavi, Thomas Jefferson, Madame Cli-
quot, a bottle of 1961 Chateau Latour, Anthony Bourdain, Piero Antinori, President Obama and Mario Batali. The common thread would be a love of wine & food and entrepreneurial spirit/accomplishment. 5. Tell us what you are reading? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perfect Pairings,â&#x20AC;? which is an excellent book on pairing food and wine and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The History of the World in 6 Glasses,â&#x20AC;? which is just that. 6. What are your three favorite movies? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back to the Future, Jurassic Park and Caddyshackâ&#x20AC;? 7. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. At the moment, it would be my recent passing of the Court of Master Sommeliersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Advanced exam and receiving the RUDD Scholarship for the top score. However I am getting married this summer so that will change once July rolls around. 8. What would you still like to do that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

The Kitchen Shrink: Kiss my southern and northern grits this Memorial Day BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor Let’s come to the table and have a good ol’ non-partisan Memorial Day picnic! My contribution is a blending of the regional cuisines from Maine to Mississippi. Cocktails anyone? Southern comfort starts with a tall, icy glass of Alabama sweet tea, a classic Mint Julep or a tumbler of Swamp Water mixing apricot brandy, lime vodka and lemonade. Northerners whet their whistles with handcrafted brewskis and cocktails, iced teas and lemonades sweetened with seasonal simple syrups, such as blood orange and elderflower. Now for the vittles If Paula Dean met Bobby Flay and Julia Child, this is what you might get: Start with the BBQ sauce: make it Champagne vinegar, tomato- or Dijon mustard-based, or a combo thereof. Next comes pulled pork, mutton or shredded chicken smoked with sassafras and
hickory, smothered in caramelized onions, roasted red peppers and fried green heirloom tomatoes on a seedy baguette. Consider braised buffalo ribs with a side of tart apple and red cabbage slaw. Or how about a plate of soul spaghetti: a casserole of dishrag noodles, tomatoes, and ground, grass-fed sirloin. Or a burger swabbed in mustard and gin sauce. Or deep-fried paprika-spiced chicken enveloped in flaky puff pastry with braised mustard greens in Grand Marnier sauce. For your just desserts Southern belles will serve a peach crème brulee, pecan and bittersweet chocolate pie with Amaretto whipped cream, and banana pudding with raspberry drizzle. Flowing northward along the Mississippi River (If that’s possible), northerners would contribute a whole different kettle of fish to a Memorial Day feast. Think Clambake on the beach, a culinary project everyone can pitch in to complete, especially for the assemblage of ingredients including lobster, ears of corn, clams (little neck or soft shell), blue mussels,
bliss potatoes and onions. Don’t forget drawn butter and tools of the trade – cracking pliers, narrow forks and bibs. Clam “chowdah” comes in three versions – New England with a cream base, Rhode Island a clear broth, and Manhattan a tomato-based broth. Cod is big in these parts. Try it grilled, poached or served fajita or taco-style. Traditional Boston Baked Beans can be jazzed-up with crumbled applewood bacon and a splash of sherry. For sweet endings, apples (especially Lady and Pippin), cranberries and maple syrup are the raw materials for great northern desserts. Try baked apples drenched in cinnamon and maple syrup, apple cranberry cobblers or maple fudge. Some authentic Civil War treats included, Hospital Gingerbread served to lift the spirits of wounded solders, applesauce cookies, Lincoln cake, and an “Idiot’s Delight” even a neophyte cook couldn’t spoil — a deep-dish of dumplings floating in rich cinnamonraisin sauce. This Memorial Day, like the Biden’s, who are honor-
1 bell pepper, diced 1 sweet onion, diced 2 carrots, grated 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, grated 3/4 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste) 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2/3 cup grapeseed or canola oil 1 teaspoon celery seed 1 cup apple cider vinegar Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the veggies and apple. In a saucepan on low, combine the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil. Simmer until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Toss over slaw, cover and chill.
Roasted corn (COURTESY PHOTO) ing the troops with a patriotic shindig at their home, open yours for a feast celebrating the hospitality of the south and single-pot colonel cookery of the north. Carolina Coleslaw 1 head cabbage, finely shredded
Northern-style Roasted Corn 12 ears corn, husks remaining 1/4 cup softened butter, equal parts olive oil Kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or herb of choice Directions: Prepare gas grill with cover closed. Remove the outer husks, leaving the inner ones. Peel back, removing the silks. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, and brush on the kernels. Cover the cobs with the husks, place on the fire, turning frequently until tender, about 8 minutes. Discard husks and serve with extra oil mixture.

‘Renaissance Woman’ Pat Launer adds ‘artist’ to resume BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer When Del Mar/Carmel Valley resident Pat Launer puts her heart into something, success is seemingly inevitable. She dedicated 20 years to teaching speech pathology at SDSU, a passion that earned her the “most influential faculty member” in her department eight times. She eventually followed her “other passion” and became a full-time theatre critic and, after 25 years, has dozens of awards for her work in print and broadcast, including an Emmy Award for her KPBS show “Center Stage.” And when she decided to give dancing a go as a celebrity contestant in the fundraising gala “Malashock Thinks You Can Dance,” she took home first place. No doubt, Launer is a bona fide Renaissance Woman. It’s fitting, then, that she’s now preparing to make her debut as an artist with her show “Figuratively Speaking: Bodies in Motion and at Rest,” which will open Friday, June 3, at the Mandell Weiss Gallery at Dance Place. “This [art show] is something new for me, but I’ve always believed you should continually expand your horizons and creative capabilities,” she said, stirring a cup of hot tea, a ring on nearly ev-

ery finger and her nails painted a brilliant royal purple, her favorite
color. “People are shocked because nobody knows this side of me.” Truth be told, if you informed Launer 10 years ago that one day she’d be opening her own art show, she, too, would have been shocked. She lived most of her life believing she could never be an artist, that is, until she took a one-day workshop based on the book “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” by Betty Edwards. The teacher began by asking everyone to draw something simple, like a car or a dog, which as Launer recalled “all looked like stick figures by kindergartners.” “Then the teacher took all our drawings and put them up on the board and said: ‘These are all cases of arrested development. Somewhere along the line someone told you that this doesn’t look like a car or a dog.’” The thought behind that is that the logical left side of the brain inhibits the artistic right side of the brain. The rest of that one-day workshop was spent doing drawing exercises that took the left side of the brain out of the equation. By the end of the day, Launer was able to draw a picture of her of her own hand — not an easy task, even for a skilled artist — which she said was so good it was “frame-able.”
“I couldn’t believe it. That day changed my life.” Launer said that ‘ah-ha moment’ emboldened her, unshackling her inner artist. She spent the next several years honing her skill through classes and lessons, many of which were taught by Reed Cardwell. She’s now ready to publicly reveal a collection of 40 works, all of which are abstract and stay true to her bold, brilliant style. “As my teacher always says, ‘draw what you want to see — not what you see.’ That frees you.” In her artist statement Launer explained that she chose to celebrate the human form in her art show because she’s “always been fascinated by the human body – its limitless variety, flexibility, beauty, complexity and capacity.” Launer — who also plays the piano, has mastered calligraphy, officiates weddings, and can work a potter’s wheel — said she has no expectations about her art show; she’s just grateful for the experience. “I’m always trying to expand my horizons and creative capabilities,” she said. “I’ll never master art. Not in a million years. But I want to be able to say I climbed another mountain.”

Solana Pacific Amazing Quest event bigger than ever On May 6, 384 students, family members, and teachers from Solana Pacific Elementary School ran in the 5th Annual Solana Pacific Amazing Quest. This family event was organized by Amazing Quest and the Solana Pacific PTA. This year’s event was the largest ever with 75 teams racing through the Del Mar Highlands shopping center, stacking apples at Jimbo’s, eating Hot Lava cakes and chips and salsa at Dominos and Rubios, and making towel animals at iTan and Pet People. Teams also had to ride unicycles or stilts and shoot marshmallows into a bowl with a bow and arrow and play Bingo at the school. The teams were split into three divisions based upon prior experience and skill. Tension filled the air as all the teams were lined up to start the race, to the untrained eye it could look like chaos. As Lynne Bath, owner of Amazing Quest explains it, “Each and every team has their own route, it takes many hours of calculating to get the logistics just right.” Teams had to complete challenges, both physical and mental, around the Del Mar Highlands going into various businesses and the school. One team in the expert division was composed of four Solana Pacific alumni. Ryan Bath headed the team with his brother Kevin, along with friends Charlotte Brown and Victor Cazares. This team described their experience as, “an event that tests all aspects of yourself, something that nothing can prepare you for. One of the most fun events that anyone could ever do.” Teams finished the race anywhere from one hour (“The 5th Grade Teachers”) to about two hours. Teams can become very competitive or just participate for fun. Each and every year Lynne Bath never seems to fail to top herself, according to participants. Every year the race expands, getting better and better.
The winning teams from the 5th Annual Solana Pacific Amazing Quest are as follows: Expert Kathy Stamer Matt Singley Nora Guseman Megan Balsamo Rob Matlock Jim Woodman
Winning teams: (Top row, l-r) Expert, Intermediate; (Bottom row, l-r) Novice-Lower Mall; Novice-Upper Mall.

Royal Dance Academy expanding in Carmel Valley As the Royal Dance Academy celebrates its 10th year of successful business in Carmel Valley, the popular dance studio is embarking on a new adventure as it moves to a larger and purpose-built space at Piazza Carmel, the location it has operated from since 2001. “The move is both exciting and necessary “ says Francine Garton, owner and principal of RDA. “ We are moving just around the corner to the front of the Plaza , next to Hallmark and Ace Hardware, as we have loved running our business from such a popular location. The new space will allow us to offer an even greater variety of classes and programs so we Some of the younger students at the Royal can continue to provide for all the dance Dance Academy. needs of the community,” Garton said. “Ms Francine,” as she is best known to all her students and parents, moved from England 10 years ago and opened the RDA within three months of arriving in San Diego. The huge success of her studio is well recognized locally, as more than 600 students attend the Academy, choosing from over 100 classes per week. The RDA , with the new 5,500 sq. ft. space due to open in September, is expanding in a number of significant areas. The studio offers ballet ,tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, pointe and pre pointe, mommy and me , musical theatre , lyrical, yoga and adult classes. The new space allows for the addition of more competition teams, which has been a major success and the NEW acting and LAMDA classes, scheduled as THE HOLLYWOOD EXPERIENCE , where a professional acting coach and manager from Los Angeles, coaches children in a variety of techniques geared towards preparation for TV, dance and acting auditions and opportunities. Growing numbers and a growing reputation have been the catalyst behind the expansion for RDA. The new four-studio facility, all under one roof , will allow a comprehensive program, catering for all levels of dancer. “We are very, very , conscious of the need to provide classes for all dancers. We have classes for the recreational dancer and for those who want to take dance more seriously and maybe pursue it at college or as a career,” Garton said. “We have wonderful teachers who are specifically chosen to teach classes that fall into their specialism. Our staff are the greatest selling point of our studio, they genuinely care about their students and they teach because that’s what they love to do.” RDA offers annual Royal Academy of Dance Ballet examinations and follows the RAD syllabus as well as a hugely successful Annual Dance Recital. The Royal Dance Academy is now enrolling for September 2011. Classes are filling quickly. For more information, call 858-350-9770 or visit www. Royaldanceacademy.com.

Albert C. Wassel
SCIENCE continued from page B1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I learned about explosives. They had an explosives center there,â&#x20AC;? he said. After four years in Denver, he returned to Brazil and, for the military, in Rio de Janeiro, set up the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first explosives lab. He subsequently, on invitation, returned to the U.S. as a visiting professor at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology; then to New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, which has the most extensive university explosives lab in the world and where he remained for 10 years. In 1989, he joined UCSD. His novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chechnya Jihadâ&#x20AC;? revolves around the accidental discovery by university research professor Jean-Claude Delvaux in New Mexico of a biologyenhanced super explosive dubbed C4 that is 10 times more powerful than conventional explosives. When the explosive is stolen, Delvaux volunteers for a NSA/ CIA-led commando raid launched from Chechnya and aided by Chechen Muslim mercenaries to retrieve the explosive from a Russian biological/chemical warfare lab in Siberia where it was to be analyzed. Moved by the Chechensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggle for independence from Russia, Delvaux serves as a guerilla sniper, using 7.62 mm cartridges hand-loaded with small amounts of his C4 explosive to destroy scores of the Russian reactive armor T72 tanks, in the First Chechen War in 1994. He also becomes disillusioned with the cruelty of war. He re-
turns to the States and to a professorship at Harvard, a new marriage and the birth of a son, only to be lured back to Chechnya in 2006 and into the continuing struggle that has become part of al-Qaedaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global jihad or â&#x20AC;&#x153;holy war.â&#x20AC;? What prompted Meyers to write about Chechnya and jihad? From 1994 to 1996, Meyers traveled to the Soviet Union four times as one of the key liaison scientists in a technological exchange program on the effects of explosives in metals with Russian scientists. One of the conferences was held at the foot of Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus close to Chechnya. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could feel the tension between the local Muslim population and the Russians,â&#x20AC;? Meyers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They felt the Russians were invaders. They stopped a funicular and let the Russians hang there for an hour or so. The driver almost capsized our bus. These were not accidental events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time the Chechen movement started up for independence and I became interested and started reading up on it.â&#x20AC;? Despite overwhelming manpower, weaponry and air support, Russian forces have been unable to establish permanent control over the mountainous Northern Caucasus region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cruelty of this war haunted me for a long time,â&#x20AC;? Meyers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still fighting, and I think, at the end of the day, they will be free and the Caucasus will not be part of Russia.â&#x20AC;? With limited time because of his academic and research responsibilities at
UCSD, when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the writing mode, Meyers writes every morning for an hour and 15 minutes and when traveling on planes he puts in six to eight hours. His earlier novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayan Mars,â&#x20AC;? was a science fiction work in which widowed professor Gustavo Chen is invited to take part in a mysterious space research project in which he must confront and attempt to defeat a mutated virus that threatens humanity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayan Marsâ&#x20AC;? is available on Kindle and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chechnya Jihadâ&#x20AC;? will soon also be available on Kindle. He is currently working on a third novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Squid,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;a Baja/narco/fantasy.â&#x20AC;? And he is looking for a literary agent to represent him. He describes his reading habits, even to this day, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;omnivorous.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started in childhood with Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan books) and all of Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) and went on to Hemingway, Hesse, Dostoyevsky, Camus, de Chardin, Dumas, Neruda, pulp and Latin American authors. Whatever I could get my hands on. The good, the bad and the ugly stuff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I like about Hemingway is that he does not succumb to the intellectual temptation of writing about inner voyages devoid of action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was an inspiration to me and I admire his strength and vigor, symbolic of this nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a famous writer or a great writer,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I write and I struggle and I improve. You learn writing by writing.â&#x20AC;?
1920 - 2011 Mr. Wassel, 90, of Solana Beach, passed away May 19, 2011. Services will be private.
