Governor releases three Ag. District board members

Equine virus not expected to impact racing season

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR One day before the 2011 San Diego County Fair opened for business, three veteran members of the board of directors that governs fairgrounds operations got the news: Gov. Jerry Brown no longer required their services. Little explanation was given before or after for the phone calls, which came on Thursday, June 9, on the eve of the Friday opening of this year’s run of the county fair. Fair board president Barry Nussbaum and members Vivian Hardage and Kelly Burt were told their dismissals took effect immediately. “These were three indi-

BY KELLEY CARLSON CONTRIBUTOR A recent breakout of an equine virus has some horse owners spooked. Organizers of the Surf and Sun Andalusian Horse Show canceled their event, slated for June 10 through 12 at the Del Mar Horsepark, because of a low number of entries. Nancy Nathenson, secretary of the California Andalusian Horse Alliance and also secretary of the competition, cited worries about the Equine Herpes Virus-1 as the reason. “Vets were advising people not to go,” she said. According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, this outbreak of the Equine Herpes

Nussbaum, Hardage and Burt were members of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board of directors, which oversees operations at the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds. Members of the volunteer, ninemember board are appointed by the sitting governor to four-year terms. The terms of seven board members, including the three dismissed last See GOVERNOR, page 22

•Cutti ng horses mainly impacted so far Virus, or EHV-1, seems to have originated from cutting horses who competed in the Western National Championship from April 30 through May 8 in Ogden, Utah. Some of the same horses also participated in the Kern County Cutting Horse event on May 13 in Bakersfield. The National Cutting Horse Association reported that 54 horses from California had been exposed to the neurological strain of the EHV-1 virus, known as Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy, or EHM. As of June 13, there were 22 confirmed cases, with none in San Diego County. Symptoms of EHM often include fever, hindquar-

ter weakness, lethargy and nasal discharge. It’s mainly spread via nasal secretions and direct horse-to-horse contact, but can also be spread indirectly through contact with objects contaminated with EHV-1, such as feed and water buckets, clothing, human hands and tack. It’s not transmissible to humans. Studies indicate that the majority of horses infected with the virus will have a fever, according to the CDHA. Most of them recover, but about 5 percent to 15 percent of infected horses will die or be euthanized. Despite the fact that the virus appears to be concenSee VIRUSES, page 22

Davidson Communities Islam textbook controversy continues in high school district acquires 43 home sites at The Crosby at RSF The last development parcel at The Crosby at Rancho Santa Fe has been acquired by Davidson Communities, according to the California homebuilder. The 43 home sites offer canyon and golf course views and will accommodate both single- and two-story residences. “This acquisition is another opportunity to build homes in one of the best performing submarkets in the country,” said Bill Davidson, president of Davidson Communities, a California homebuilder for more than 30 years. The Davidson team is now focused on final design embellishments to plans created by Bassenian/Lagoni Architects. An onsite sales office will open this fall, with models scheduled to open in early 2012. Design Line Interiors of Del Mar will handle interior merchandising. The Crosby is a gated community located just east of the Village of Rancho Santa Fe and is comprised of 70 villas, 281 custom-quality homes and 70 estate home sites surrounded by an 18-hole private golf course. In addition to this Rancho Santa Fe new home neighborhood, Davidson is now selling unique luxury residences at Sentinels at Del Sur in San Diego. The homebuilder also is grading for two new neighborhoods in San Diego’s Torrey Highlands area. With homebuilding operations focused on the San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and Inland Empire markets, Davidson Communities has been building high-quality homes of architectural distinction for California consumers since 1978. Information on Davidson Communities is available online at www.davidsoncommunities.com.

By Marsha Sutton SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER As the San Dieguito Union High School District responds to complaints concerning religious freedom (see story in Review’s June 9 issue or on the web at www.rsfreview. com) from the Western Center for Law & Policy, the challenge to the seventh-grade social studies textbook and its discussion of Islam in Chapters 3 and 4 continues to churn. The authors of a document citing 22 instances where they say Islam is misrepresented appeared on a recent radio talk show and said the school district asked them last year to prepare a supplemental curriculum for use in the classroom. Michael Hayutin and Linda Sax said on air that, based on the district’s request, they developed the material, which presents a harsher portrayal of Islam than the textbook does. But the district then refused to use the supplement. At the May 19 school board meeting, Noah denied asking Hayutin to prepare anything, saying, “That’s just patently false.” Noah said the textbook challenge is working its way through appropriate channels at the state level, but a public

meeting held June 5 by Hayutin about the issue concerned him. “This has all the earmarks of a highly politicized issue, and I’m going to have to take this on,” he said. “I’m not willing to put the children of this district in the line of fire.” Noah said he considers the matter very serious. “Hopefully, we can resolve this in a civil fashion,” he said. Western Center for Law & Policy president Dean Broyles said he is aware of the controversy and did a preliminary analysis of the seventh-grade history textbook. He said Hayutin’s objections have some merit, not only on the issue of Islam but also on how Christianity is portrayed. “I am concerned about inaccuracies and distortions that seem to pervade the seventh-grade curriculum,” he said. “There seems to be selective focus and selective reporting from a certain perspective that is not necessarily objectively accurate.” On June 4, the San Diego Muslim Community released a rebuttal to the 22-point Hayutin document which can be accessed at: http://textbookresponse.wordpress.com.

County Redistricting Advisory Committee proposes three plans After a series of public meetings that began in February, the County’s Redistricting Advisory Committee voted Monday to forward three proposed redistricting plans to the Board of Supervisors. The citizen’s committee was tasked with gathering public input and forwarding no more than three plans for the board’s consideration. The Redistricting Advisory Committee finished that work and held its final meeting Monday. The Board of Supervisors is expected to hear the committee’s proposed plans at its regular board meeting at 9 a.m. on June 28. The Redistricting Advisory Committee’s three proposals can be viewed at the Coun-

ty’s redistricting website at www.sdcounty. ca.gov/redistricting. Once at the site, please choose “view/submit plan” from the left menu; then choose “view the latest proposed plans.” This will take you to the online viewer, where you can “Choose (a) Plan.” The final proposals the committee will forward to the Board are titled 061311 RAC Draft Plan 2-4, 061311 RAC Draft Plan 5-6 and 061311 RAC Draft Plan 5-7. The online viewer allows a close look at the committee’s proposals for the new supervisorial districts in an interactive map. It also displays the population and demographics of each new proposed district.

The County Board of Supervisors must adjust the boundaries of the County’s five supervisorial districts every 10 years to balance their populations, based on the federal census. As part of the County’s redistricting process, the Board appointed the Redistricting Advisory Committee to gather public input. The committee met 14 times, including once in each disSee PLANS, page 22

Rowe’s Go Green Club helps make school more environmentally-friendly BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer A group of fifth- and sixth-graders at R. Roger Rowe worked hard this year to make their school community a more environmentally-friendly place. Called the “Go Green Club,” they encouraged fellow students and their families to think about reducing, re-using and recycling. They celebrated their efforts with a pizza party on June 9. “These Go Greeners are dedicated to the cause and it’s been amazing for me to be a part of the club for two years and see the program grow,” said fifthgrade teacher Gina Mirizzi, who led the club with sixth grade teacher Jessica Henke. “I’m really impressed with what they did this year.” This year’s Go Green Club included fifth-graders Maria Brito-Artigas, Isabelle Zagara, Giselle Esquer, Kendall Chocholek, Elle Schneider, Audrey Barajas and the sole sixth grader

Maranda Phillips. “We met on Thursdays and talked about what cool projects we could do and how we could get the school into being environmentally aware,” said Maria. “I wanted to join because I felt like I wanted to make a difference.” Others, such as Giselle, were inspired to join after witnessing abuse of the environment. “I took a road trip and I saw trash on the side of the road and it was very upsetting,” said Giselle. She said people take so much from the environment that she wanted to learn, instead, what she could do to give back. The Go Green Club was launched last year and its inaugural group raised money for each classroom to have a recycling bin. This year’s club helped get the bins into the classrooms, explain to students what they should recycle through a skit and organized the method for collecting the recyclables.

The Go Green Club at R. Roger Rowe included (back row): Isabelle Zagara, Elle Schneider and Maria BritoArtigas. Front row: Fifth-grade teacher Gina Mirizzi, Maranda Phillips, Audrey Barajas, Giselle Esquer, Kendall Chocholek and parent Nancy Jo Capetta, who donated the re-usable bags. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING One of the club’s biggest undertakings was its reusable bag project. The bags were donated by the Capetta family and were offered to any student who brought in two plastic bags to recycle and signed a pledge about that they could do to help the environment.

The jute bag read “One bag at a time” and the club distributed at least 500 of them. For another one of their projects, the Go Green Club gathered up all the plastic bags they found on the lunch tables over two days. The project was eye-opening as they col-

lected nearly 100 plastic baggies. The club strung the multitude of bags together and presented them at a school assembly — telling students how they had learned that it can take each of those plastic bags about 400 years to biodegrade and perhaps it would be smart to make a different choice for lunch. Instead of bringing all that waste to school, the club encouraged families to purchase Semilla snack bags, which are cloth, washable sandwich bags. “The kids can really get the message out to their families,” said Nancy Jo Capetta, who helped design the re-usable bags the students handed out. “A lot of adults didn’t grow up thinking that way.” Already these Go Green members are spreading their message to their families. Here’s some of the efforts they’ve brought home: Maria: I learned I could save on the electrici-

ty in my house. I got my family composting and taking shorter showers. Giselle: I turn off the light when I leave a room. It’s become such a habit. I use re-usable bags everyday. Isabelle: I got my family to take shorter showers, my brother now takes a five-minute shower! I also got my parents to start composting. Maranda: Instead of driving a car somewhere, we walk a lot. We take shorter showers and use re-usable bags. Kendall: My family collects recyclable cans and bottles and we take them to the center to be weighed and get money for them. Audrey: I bring a canteen to school instead of a plastic water bottle. Elle: We take shorter showers and we put bins in the house for our recycling.

RSF resident wins $10,000 in Ronald McDonald House raffle By Karen Billing STAFF WRITER RSF’s Maike Baltuttis recently won $10,000 in the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego’s Dream House Raffle. Baltuttis just moved to Rancho Santa Fe from Germany last August, but had learned about Ronald McDonald House and its reputation as a great resource for families when she was an au pair in America 20 years ago. “I always thought if I had kids and something happened to them, I would [want] to use something like that,” said Baltuttis, who was happy when a Ronald McDonald House was built in her hometown in Germany. “I saw the raffle on TV and thought it was a good

combination, it wouldn’t hurt if I won and it does something good for the kids.” She never imagined she would win—she bought just one $150 ticket. “I think I still have to realize it,” Baltuttis said. “It’s like, ‘pinch me so I know it’s not a dream.’” More than 28,500 tickets were sold, making it the most successful raffle in the organization’s history. The house across from Rady Children’s Hospital has 47 bedrooms for families with children in the hospital. “Despite a struggling economy, the community participated in record numbers and we sold 2,000 tickets more than last year,” said Chuck Day, president and

Maike Baltuttis, with children Rabea and Jannis, won $10,000 in the Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Dream House Raffle. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING CEO of Ronald McDonald House San Diego. “These funds are vital to helping us provide lodging, care and comfort to the 20,000 fami-

ly members we serve each year. We are extremely grateful to the community for their overwhelming participation.”

As of last week, Baltuttis had yet to share the news that they are $10,000 richer with her husband, who commutes back and forth from Germany for his job as a German TV journalist. She planed to tell him via Skype video camera because her children, Rabea and Jannis, really want to see his face when he finds out. She hasn’t yet decided how they will spend the money, knowing only that it’s money she doesn’t want to waste. Baltuttis said it would be nice to show the kids San Francisco or keep some for their college educations. The family is here on a five-year visa and the children are very much enjoying their time in America,

attending R. Roger Rowe School. “My teacher is so nice, we play kickball and we went to The Inn and made pizza with a chef,” said third grader Rabea. Sixth grader Jannis is most impressed by the playing fields at the school, which are much nicer than he had back in Germany. “I play sports like football, basketball and lacrosse,” Jannis said. Baltuttis said she loves the beach and the weather, as they have a lot of rain and snow where they are from. “People here are so friendly and everything is so nice here,” said Baltuttis. “It’ll be a hard time when we have to go back.”

mond.

Profile

Father recounts 26-year struggle against daunting odds to find wellness for his developmentally disabled son BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor For technical writer Stephen Gallup and his wife, Judy, life changed dramatically with the birth of their developmentally-disabled son, Joseph, 26 years ago, in San Diego. Nobody knew what caused Joseph’s disability. Doctors, in 1985, could offer no definitive answers or plan of action. Perhaps a toxin had invaded his mother’s body before the infant’s birth. Maybe the long, difficult labor itself was to blame or the resultant suction delivery. Or maybe the cause was genetic. Gallup and his wife were told by their HMO pediatrician that a CAT scan indicated that the temporal lobes of Joseph’s brain were smaller than normal. “That was basically taken as an explanation for anything that was wrong,” Gallup said. “There was no treatment proposed. And we were advised to get counseling so that we could move on with our lives. “But it’s hard to move on with your life when you have a child that is depending on you and all he could

do was cry.” At home, Joseph cried continually (“It’s colic, don’t worry,” they were told) and thrashed around, as if in pain, on his back in his crib for hours turning his head from side to side and wearing off the hair off the back of his head. After consulting with physicians for more than a year and concluding that doctors could do nothing to help, Gallup and his wife, a former special education teacher, decided to take matters into their own hands. Over time, they realized that Joseph was not meeting any of the benchmarks of normal growth. He wasn’t able to crawl or interact normally, much less stand, walk or speak. “I declared war on my son’s disability,” Gallup recalled. Gallup describes the efforts made, the victories achieved, the “wrong turns” taken, and the disappointments encountered in pursuit of wellness for his son in the soon-to-be-published memoir “What About the Boy? A Father’s Pledge to His Disabled Son.” We interviewed Gallup, now 60, a local resident, father of three and technical

Quick Facts Name: Stephen Gallup Distinction: A former aerospace technical writer and, since 1995, a technical writer with Qualcomm, Gallup is the author of the soon-to-be published memoir, What About the Boy? A Father’s Pledge to His Disabled Son. Born: Louisville, Kentucky. Grew up in North Carolina and Virginia. Education: B.S. in chemistry and zoology, North Carolina State, 1973; M.A. in English, University of Virginia, 1977 Family: From a previous marriage, Gallup has a developmentally-disabled son, Joseph, now 26. Gallup lost his first wife to cancer in 1994. He and his wife, Song Yi, and have two additional children: Susannah, 11, and Braxton, 4. Interests: Family, writing and reading Favorite getaways: China to visit his wife’s family and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains Favorite film: “The Accidental Tourist,” based on a novel, by Anne Tyler Philosophy: “If something is worth doing, you should do it right. But before you do it, you’d better understand why you’re doing it.”

writer with Qualcomm, in the editorial offices of this newspaper. His self-published memoir is scheduled for release in September and is currently available on pre-order from Amazon.com The writing of the memoir began as a journal and a form of therapy for Gallup as he and his wife embarked on what was to become an all- consuming mission to attain wellness for their son. Three years ago, when Gallup read that submissions were being accepted for entry in the San Diego Book Awards competition, he decided to submit the then completed memoir manuscript in the hopes of at least receiving some “feedback.” “They told me I was a finalist, and when I attended the Awards, I discovered to my amazement that it had won first place in the Unpublished Memoir category. “That was the encouragement I needed to go ahead and pursue publishing it,” he said. He formed his own publishing company, Lestrygonian Books, to publish his book. “This is my statement,” he said. “I may write something else in my life, but this is the one I had to write before I die.” Gallup was born in Louisville, Kentucky. Initially, he had dreamed of becoming a physician, like his grandfather. He completed his pre-med studies at North Carolina State in 1973. His father was a chemist so medicine seemed a natural career path for Gallup until his application for med school was rejected after he told the med school’s interview panel that, under certain circumstances, yes, he could favor abortion and euthanasia. Stung by the derailment of his plans to become a doctor, he earned a master’s degree in English from the University of Virginia in 1977 and became a technical writer in the aerospace industry, initially in Virginia, where he and Judy met and married, and later in San Diego with General Dynamics. After the birth of Joseph in 1985 and with doctors unable to help, the Gallups sought out other resources outside of their HMO and the regional health center, including an osteopath, a chiropractor, and the controversial Institutes for the

Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia. “I was convinced that time was of the essence, that any treatment we implemented would be much more effective if we did it early. So I didn’t want to waste time,” Gallup said. After the first of several visits to “the Institutes” in Philadelphia, the Gallups launched an intensive “around the clock, seven days a week” home therapy treatment program designed by the Institutes for brain-injured children — using “patterning” manipulation of the child’s arms, legs and head to encourage creeping and crawling; “masking” or breathing into rebreathing mask many times a day to increase cerebral blood flow; and various vision and auditory techniques to teach Joseph to read. To help carry out the daily, repetitive, time-consuming regimen, the Gallups solicited volunteers from among their friends, neighbors, and anyone willing to help. Donations were also accepted to offset expenses. Looking back, Gallup said, he is “ambivalent” about his experience with the Institutes. “They helped Joseph. They certainly did. They told us what to do. We implemented an intensive home program…for a number of years, as a result of which he learned to crawl, he learned to walk, he learned to read, after a fashion, and he learned to swing hand-overhand on an overhead ladder. He learned a lot of things, but he didn’t get as far as we wanted and he did regress to

a certain extent. “At the Institutes,” he said, “the attitude was: ‘It’s our way or the highway.’ This is dangerous thinking because the people who believe it are not open to potential guidance or information that comes from the outside world…They will be among the last to hear or consider any new treatments…” After becoming dissatisfied with the extent of Joseph’s progress with the Institutes’ home therapy program, the Gallups pursued a number of alternatives, including regenerative herbal foods, acupuncture, injections of fetal cells, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and ushering Joseph through a hands-on healing line conducted by ministers of evangelist/faith healer Kenneth Hagin during a Los Angeles prayer meeting where Gallup became born-again. By age 7, Joseph, who had become good-natured and cooperative, was diagnosed with autism. He was placed in a special education class in public school, but made little discernible progress. “After one year, we took him out of public school and put him in a school specifically for kids with developmental problems,” where he remained until he completed his schooling. On Nov. 2, 1992, Gallup’s wife, Judy, was diagnosed with cancer. Judy had been the family’s authority on diet and health. “We could think of nothing in our family experience that could have led to this, except unending stress,” he wrote. “She took all of these misadventures with Joseph very hard. And I think it contributed to her illness,” he said. “Even if our fight to help Joseph … had led to this,” he wrote, “neither of us could bring ourselves to regret the effort.” Judy passed away in 1994, when Joseph was 9. With the shutting down of the San Diego aerospace industry in 1995, Gallup joined Qualcomm and in 1996 he remarried. He and his wife, Song Yi, have two additional children, a daughter, age 11, and a son, age 4. Today, Joseph lives during the week and since 2005 in a licensed residential home in Chula Vista, spends

weekdays in training at an ARC (Association for Retarded Citizens) center and comes home on weekends to be with his family. Physically, Joseph is strong and healthy. He stopped growing at five feet. Gallup describes Joseph as “a good companion, rather like a quiet fishing buddy.” “We take comfort in each other’s presence,” he said. “I miss him when we are apart.” Several years ago, Gallup heard his son speak his last word. “We were walking together when he stopped and frowned at the sound of distant barking. ‘Dog,’ he announced seriously, like a toddler. “I can still hope for more…I will never give up on him.” Asked if his son knows he has written a book, “I told him. I showed it to him. But he doesn’t look particularly interested. But then again, he doesn’t take time to give you feedback. I think quite a lot of it registers… “He’s intelligent. His problem is there is a barrier. It impedes input to a certain extent and it impedes output a great deal. “I think at some point, probably when he was in his early school years, he decided it was just too hard to keep on trying to pierce that barrier because he stopped at some point. He decided he was going to be a certain way because it was just too hard to be anything else… starting around age 5.” “I don’t want to give the impression that I’m opposed to medical care,” Gallup said. “I don’t want to advise people to reject their doctors; that’s not what I’m saying. I am saying that if doctors do not help patients, and give the impression they are not interested in helping, doctors should expect that patients are going to keep going elsewhere.” In the epilogue of his memoir, Gallup wrote, “I am aware that our story could be used to reinforce the position of those who said that our cause from the very beginning was foolish…But at the same time, our story points to the conclusion that we as a society must find better answers for development disability. And we need to begin that soon.”

Torrey Pines’ Taylor Murphy drafted by the Padres Torrey Pines senior shortstop Taylor Murphy was selected in the Major League Baseball 2011 first year player draft by the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, June 8. The 6’1” 185-pound Murphy hit .345 for the Falcons this year with 10 doubles, two homeruns and a team leading 24 RBIs. Last year he also accepted a scholarship offer to play baseball for the University of Pacific in Northern California. “I was absolutely thrilled last summer to receive a call from Pacific and learn they wanted to offer me a scholarship,” Murphy said. “It’s a great school with an amazing baseball program and to play Division 1 baseball in the Big West was a dream come true. Of all the schools that were talking to me, Pacific was definitely my first choice. I really clicked with the coaching staff and loved the campus.” The excitement of last year’s call from Pacific was overshadowed a bit last week when Murphy received a most unusual text from his dad which read: “You have been drafted by the Padres!” “I was sitting in my video film class when I got the text from my dad; I was so excited I couldn’t stand it,” Murphy said. His phone began to vibrate non-stop as numerous text messages came in from former teammates, friends and family, all tracking the draft and congratulating him. “It seemed like word spread like wildfire,” Murphy said, “my phone didn’t stop buzzing for a couple days.” Like most boys, Murphy has long dreamed of playing in the MLB. He started his baseball career in the Solana Beach Little League program at age 7 and has fond memories of playing baseball at the Solana Vista fields. He moved on to travel ball where he played for the Del Mar Power-

Taylor Murphy house Baseball Team and ultimately the Torrey Pines baseball program. He has balanced the rigors of playing baseball year around with gym workouts, hitting and fielding work, a little bit of surfing now and then, of course homework, and also his summer job as a Del Mar Lifeguard. The Padres began to scout Murphy after seeing him play last fall for the Orioles Scout Team. Padre’s scouts regularly came out to watch him play and film him throughout his senior season. “At first, it was a bit nerve-racking knowing I was being filmed while at the plate, but after a while I just put it out of my mind and decided the looser I played the better. I concentrated on helping our team win, instead of the outcome of my at-bat.” And win they did: the Falcons

came within one out of the CIF Division 1 championship game at Tony Gwynn Stadium. Murphy is currently faced with a tough decision: sign with the Padres and immediately get assigned to their rookie ball team in Peoria, Ariz., or continue on his course at Pacific, starting school and baseball practice in the fall. “The Padres organization has been really good to me through this process. They have spent the time explaining exactly what the minor leagues look like and what to expect. I couldn’t ask for a more professional club to deal with. We will continue to chat over the summer and I will ultimately make my decision no later than mid-August.” Aside from his mom and dad, Taylor will receive some great counsel from his cousin Geoff Blum, an ex-Padre who is currently playing with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and close family friend Morgan Ensberg, a local resident and former MLB player who spent a year with the Padres himself. “Geoff and Morgan really provide me with great insights and share more of a behind-the-scenes look at the minors. It’s so great to get the inside scoop and advice from a couple of guys who have been there,” Murphy said. If Murphy chooses Pacific, he will again be eligible for the MLB draft after his junior year. “I feel so fortunate to be in such a win-win situation,” Murphy said. “Getting drafted by the Padres is a dream come true; I have to decide if this dream makes sense now or possibly three years from now. I feel so grateful to be in this position and able to continue playing the game I love so much.”

An interview with NY Times bestselling author James Rollins BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ Contributor Eighty-four percent of Americans say they have a book in them, but most will never actually write it. And of those who do, few will do so successfully. One who does, to international acclaim, is James Rollins. A huge fan of his books, several years ago I asked Jim to keynote at the La Jolla Writers Conference where he gave a presentation that left us laughing and thinking and all feeling like part of the larger writing community. He also taught some amazing classes. Jim is not just a great writer, he is a great writing teacher. About to begin his tour for his newest release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Devil Colony,â&#x20AC;? Jim took a few minutes to answer some questions that, for you aspiring writers out there, should shed some light on writing, publishing, and process. James will be signing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Devil Colonyâ&#x20AC;? at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore on Monday, June 27. 1. You are, by profession, a veterinarian. When did you know you wanted to be a writer, and how long after that did you actually begin to write? I blame my mother for my writing career. She read while I

was growing up, so I read. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where all the insanity started. Sure I was interested in animals and science and knew since third grade that I would be a veterinarian â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I also loved to read. And reading was like throwing gasoline on the fire of an overactive imagination. Growing up with three brothers and three sisters, I was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;storytellerâ&#x20AC;? of the family (what my mother called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Liarâ&#x20AC;?). So fiction writing was in my blood from a very young age. But I never considered writing as a real career. I thought you had to have some literary pedigree to be a successful author, the son of Hemingway or Fitzgerald. So instead I turned to my other passion for a career: veterinary medicine. But I made one mistake. I continued to readâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and that little twisted corner of my imagination never fully died away and I began dabbling with writing again in my mid-thirties. First, I wrote a bunch of short stories that are safely buried in my backyardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;then my first novel, which actually sold. 2. We often hear that there are no great writers, just great rewriters. How many edits do you give most of your books before they are ready for your readers? Besides the obvious, what are the

7)3( 9/5 #/5,$

polish, it goes to typesetting where a â&#x20AC;&#x153;proofâ&#x20AC;? of the book is prepared, and the book undergoes one last edit. All in all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say each page of the book is edited at least twenty times. So, yes, writing is definitely rewriting.

James Rollins benefits of editing? And what is your editorial process like? Writing is definitely rewriting. It typically takes me an hour to write a single, double-spaced page. I dote on every sentence, every word. But still, once the book is written it goes through all stages of edits. First, I present the material to my critique group in town. They are my first readers, and believe me, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not kind. They make comments and basically tear it to pieces. So I address those issues before it gets to New York. Once there, my editor reads it and prepares an â&#x20AC;&#x153;edits letterâ&#x20AC;? where she tells me all the BIG things wrong with the novel. So I address those major issues, then it goes to a copy editor who looks for the LITTLE errors: consistency flaws, grammar mistakes, etc. After that

3. What constitutes a writer; what threshold does someone have to cross before they become a writer? Published or not, if you are putting words on paper and trying to tell a story, you are a writer. Certainly weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all at different levels of craft and experience. But we all have one thing in common: every writer (including myself) is an unfinished product, a work-inprogress. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always striving to do betterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re first starting out or climbing the New York Times bestsellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list. What unites us is that constant struggle with prose and story. And in the end, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in the same club. 4. Your books are full of detail. Who does your research, and have you ever been contacted by a reader who argued a point of reference with you? I do my own research. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fathom doing it any other way. It is the process of researching a topic where I find a hundred new ideas for ways to take a story. For me,

research is plotting. As to mistakes, of course, they happenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and of course, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m called out on it. The most common source of an error is when I think I know something, when I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m unsure about a topic, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll research it fully to get it right. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident on a subject, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when mistakes happen. 5. When you started writing, how did you choose your genre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or did it choose you? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good question. I think writers should write in a genre that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate about (i.e., read voraciously). Growing up, I read across all genres and still do. I love mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, horror, thrillers, even literary novels. So when it came to writing my own material, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to start. I dabbled in all sorts of different genres, and ultimately I think my books are a bit of mix. I write novels that explore the edges of the scientific frontier (ie., science fiction), but I also fold in bits of history that end in question marks (ie., mysteries). And of course, my stories are full-blooded rollercoaster rides when it comes to threats and plots (ie., action/adventure). This mix has confounded my publishers, enough that at one

RSF family to co-chair Teens, Jeans and Dreams Team Penning event BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor The Daley family of Rancho Santa Fe has a passion for horses and also cares deeply about foster teens in San Diego. To support both, husband and wife John and Gina Daley, along with their son, Jeff, and his wife, Jenna, have teamed up to co-chair a major fundraising penning event to benefit Friends of San Pasqual Academy, the nonprofit arm of a unique residential learning campus for local foster teens. This is the seventh annual team penning event. Titled “Teens, Jeans and Dreams,” the event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Arena. John and Jeff Daley, who both ride in the Rancheros Visitadores, an all male cowboy-style riding club, will take part in the penning competition, as will Jenna. Gina will be their cheerleader, she said. Other fellow RSF members, George Scott, who is the husband of Joan Scott,

president of the foundation, and Ken Markstein, husband of Carole Markstein, a board governor for the foundation, will also participate. Cowboys have been in John Daley’s family for four generations. The Daley Ranch in Escondido is named for John’s great-great grandfather who homesteaded that property in 1866. “He drove the stagecoach to Julian and back as well as running his cattle ranch and farm,” explained John who today owns a highway construction business, also a fourth generation venture. Jeff builds custom homes; he constructed John and Gina’s Westernthemed ranch home in Rancho Santa Fe. Jenna is a real estate professional. Father and son were raised at the family’s Jamul ranch where riding horses was part of life. They rode in a group that the family started in the 1930s called Los Senderos. Jenna started riding in Colorado when she was 2, she said. Her mother opened a saddle shop to help afford the expense of

John, Gina, Jenna and Jeff Daley the riding shows that she took part in. Jenna continued to show until she entered college. She now rides for fun but will compete in the penning event along with the guys. In co-chairing the penning contest Jeff said, “We are looking to bring some youth to the event, we hope to reach out

to a lot of our peer group.” Team penning is a timed competition where a team of three riders attempts to put three of the same numbered cows in a pen. The team that does this the fastest wins. Riders must corral their cows across the arena but prevent others in the herd from crossing a bound-

ary line otherwise they are disqualified. There are about 30 teams and each is a mix of amateurs and more seasoned riders which adds to the fun, “You don’t know what kind of a wreck you are going to have,” John quipped. A “Calcutta” is conducted before the competition begins when attendees may place bets on a team that they feel will win. “Half the money goes to the winning bidder, the other half to the charity,” said John. A pre-contest silent auction also helps raise funds. Major sponsors of the event include Ken and Carole Markstein and Markstein Beverage, and Bill and Donna Herrick. Joan Scott said that funds generated from this event go toward San Pasqual Academy teens’ college scholarships, supplies, holiday and birthday parties, athletic and academic programs, proms and ASB activities, clothing and more. “It’s an honor for us to co-chair this event,” said Jeff “We actually have a family member who was a foster

kid so it’s deep to her heart and deep to ours.” Charger player Quentin Jammer and has wife, Alicia, and jockey Danny Sorenson are very involved in the event. Teen Volunteers In Action and National Charity League members volunteer as do teens from San Pasqual Academy, along with foundation members. “These kids are so grateful for what we do for them and they get a chance to go out and make a life for themselves. We feel very strongly about supporting that,” said John. The event includes a special VIP sponsor cocktail reception and silent auction, beginning at 5 p.m., with the penning contest starting at 6 p.m. For sponsorship information, to purchase tickets or to find out more about the foundation and San Pasqual Academy visit www. friendsofsanpasqualacademy.org General Admission is $30 for adults, $15 for children under 12.

ear within Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate (defined for the purpose of this analysis as all attached 67 and 92091 zip codes) might have been an anomalistic blip. Like April, last month exhibited y 2011 compared to 21 properties in May 2010. However, it took 40% longer to sell these whereas those sold in May 2010 had an average marketing time of 160 days or 2 months less. to see this marketing time extension on flat sales growth, especially when overall inventory is is also essentially flat, with only a 1.2% increase in 2011; one can only conclude that demand perties in a market with less inventory. Unfortunately, May looks like a repeat of April rather than nd or instead, merely a bump in the road of the positive trend set in the first quarter of this year.

bmarket experienced more sales than any other in Rancho Santa Fe. While some may espouse only a 2-property difference in a market with extreme sales volatility. However, it did take 32% onger to sell these properties than it did in May 2010, despite inventory for this subgroup being 0% lower. Specifically, in May 2010, the average marketing time for properties with an original st price less than $3,000,000 was 125 days. For those properties that closed escrow in May 011, average marketing time was 165 days. his additional waiting time, nevertheless, was not spent simply trying to find a buyer, but also egotiating a higher sales price. Median values increased 8%, going from $1,480,000 in May 010 to $1,600,000 for the 19 properties sold last month. This median value increase exceeds he 2.6% median value price increase for this group year-to-date. Given this submarket is ahead f the other two in the recovery process, I believe stable value growth is more important than ncreased sales activity. Last month helped to do just that.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Marilyn Tajalle named Solana Santa Fe’s ‘Teacher of the Year’ BY STACEY PHILLIPS CONTRIBUTOR When Marilyn Tajalle was a little girl, she used to play school and “teach” her dolls. Those dolls have long been replaced with students and after 31 years of being a teacher, Tajalle said she still gets as much joy from teaching as she always has. Her peers at Solana Santa Fe (SSF) named the kindergarten teacher “Teacher of the Year.” Tajalle was recognized during the Solana Beach School District’s annual endof-year celebration held June 7 at the Del Mar Hilton. She said it is an honor to represent SSF. “I was very thankful, very excited but at the same time I felt like everyone’s name was on that title,” she said. “I am who I am through the help of all my other peers surrounding me.” Born and raised in North County San Diego, Tajalle has taught at Solana Santa Fe for nearly 17 years. Prior to that, Marilyn Tajalle she taught for 15 years in the Carlsbad Unified School District. Most of that time has been spent in second and third grade classrooms, but for the last seven years she has taught kindergarten. What makes kindergarten special, according to Tajalle, is the innocence of the children, watching them meet friends and seeing the social skills that develop. Her favorite part of the job is encouraging children to do their best work and believing in them. “When I was in school, I had some really good experiences and some experiences that weren’t so favorable and I felt a lack of love in the teachers’ hearts,” said Tajalle. “I wanted to go out and share that love and share that belief and trust and that hope in each child and pour that into the children and make it fun.” Her eighth grade teacher Mrs. Herald was an inspiration for Tajalle while she participated in the glee club. Not only did she encourage Tajalle to sing, but to do what she wanted in life. “She always said, ‘Marilyn, you can do anything. The sky is the limit.’” Tajalle passes this message on to her students as well. “I would tell my students that they too can reach the stars. They can be anything they want to be.” The biggest challenge Tajalle faces as a teacher is not having enough time with each individual child. If she could, she would read and write with each of them individually. Her advice to others who might want to become a teacher someday is to spend time with children in the classroom and make sure that it’s something they really want to do. “… it has to be a love for little children and a love to see them grow socially and academically. It’s not just a job.”

Tajalle said she has developed excellent friendships along the way and has a wonderful team. “Marilyn Tajalle is a true standout in the field of education,” said Monica Rainville, who also teaches kindergarten. “She has such a gift and a love for teaching, which is evident in her students’ year-long achievements and in her warm and sincere demeanor every day. I have learned so much from her over the three years we have worked together, and am so appreciative of her constant willingness to share her knowledge and ideas with her colleagues.” Tajalle has seen a lot of changes over the years. She strives to attend all of the training offered and said she appreciates the opportunity to bring it back to her classroom. “I am thankful for all of the technology we have in the classroom and the training I’ve received at Solana Beach School District to become a better teacher every year,” she said. “I love the growth that I’m able to make and all that is offered here.”

She and her kindergarten team recently implemented a new program they named “Kindaerobics.” Monday and Wednesday mornings the kindergarten teachers bring their students outside and exercise while playing music. “The goal is to get the children agile, increase our balance and be healthy,” said Tajalle. When she isn’t teaching, Tajalle enjoys reading, spending time with her twin sister and taking walks by the shore. She and her husband George have one son named Josh. As much as she enjoys teaching, she also learns everyday from her students. Tajalle said, “I learn how to listen and I learn how to laugh and enjoy the small things in life, the important things in life.” See next week’s paper for an article on Solana Santa Fe’s Lydia Noble, who was recently named this year’s “Classified Person of the Year.”

Torrey Pines High School wins state golf title BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR A roster of 19 elite high school golfers, all of whom would be the stars on most prep squads, gave Torrey Pines some obvious advantages this year. But it also created some problems, the most notable being, how to pick six starters from a fiercely competitive field, with some players separated by just hundredths of a stroke. It turned out to be a pretty good problem to have. Torrey Pines concluded its amazing season by winning the June 8 state match at Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach in decisive fashion. The Falcons shot a combined 366 on the 18-hole, par-72 course, finishing nine strokes ahead of second place Robert Louis Stevenson of Pebble Beach. They finished their season 37-0. The meet featured the state’s top six teams. “It’s a blessing and a curse to have that much depth on this team but they’re pushing each other,” Torrey Pines coach Chris Drake said. “We went into the last match of the season with guys competing to be on the postseason roster and it only made them better.” UCLA-bound senior Jay Hwang fired a 70 to lead the Falcons. He finished third overall individually, one stroke behind Alexander Schauffele (Scripps Ranch) and Nicolo Galletti (Foothill High of Pleasanton). Junior Ryan Burgess and sophomore Danny Ochoa each shot a 73. California-bound senior Michael Kim shot a 74, and Air Force-bound junior Bobby Gojuangco contributed a 76 score. The competition on the Falcons roster was so intense that Hawaii-bound senior Mike Koenecke wasn’t even among the six who competed at the state meet. “It shows that we’re pretty deep,” Drake said. “I don’t know that that’s anything new (at Torrey Pines), but 19 guys deep is unprecedented.” Just as unprecedented was the Falcons following the footsteps of the girls’ team, which capped off its 27-0 campaign with a state championship in November. Torrey Pines is believed to be the first program in state history to win both boys’ and girls’ state titles, let alone field two unbeaten teams in the same school year. Drake doesn’t believe he counted a score in the 40s all season on either team. “It’s been a magical year,” he said. “Definitely a year I’m not going to forget anytime soon and I don’t think any of those players are going to forget this season anytime soon.” The boy’s team was making its second straight state championship appearance after finishing third last season. The Falcons title was the second in six years and the fourth in school history. Hwang, who was at 1-over-par heading into the back nine holes, stormed back on the back nine, coming within an eyelash of an eagle put on the 18th hole that would have given him a share of a three-way tie for first individually. “I think it was a matter of him realizing that his (high school) career was coming to an end and he wanted to make the most of it,” Drake said.

I owe everything I have to hard work. Now I want to share the wisdom I have gained, so my family can build on my experience. I need someone who knows what it’s like to be me.

From left to right: coach Jim Harrah, Bobby Gojuangco, Ryan Burgess, Danny Ochoa, Mike Koeneke, Michael Kim, Dj Magee, Jay Hwang, Coach Chris Drake Hwang’s turnaround started on the 10th hole, when he made a 30-plus foot birdie putt. “I was walking with a parent of another player and she willed it in,” Drake said of the putt. “She was from another team, but she said he was going to make that put and he did.” And although the internal competition was often intense, it didn’t come at the expense of the team’s camaraderie. “We had a team of 19 guys who were pulling for each other and supporting each other more so than in the past,” Drake said. “As a coach that’s my biggest job, to foster that camaraderie and that trust, knowing that they’re not just playing for themselves but that they’re playing for each other.” And despite their star power, it was the effort from the entire team that made the Falcons champions. “Our record demonstrated our depth,” Drake said. “37-0 and all 19 guys played good amounts of matches so they all contributed to those victories.”

ROLLINS continued from page 10 meeting in New York, my publisher sat me down at a table and asked me “What do you write?” My answer: “I write like James Rollins.” 6. Who do you read? Which authors have books on your shelves and why? To fully answer that would take an entire volume. Like I mentioned I still read across a gamut of genres. My shelves are full of old pulp reprints from the thirties and forties, where “scientific adventures” had their start. But I also go further back to Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and H.

Rider Haggard. But I also love the modern masters of this type of pulp story. That includes Michael Crichton, Clive Cussler, and Dean Koontz. But I have a slew of fantasy writers I love: Terry Brooks, George R.R. Martin, and of course, Tolkien. I also love the mysteries of Nevada Barr (for the way she blends suspenseful mysteries with evocative depictions of the natural world). I love Dan Simmons, who wields words like no other, no matter what genre he writes. And the list could go on and on. 7. Give us a short overview of “The Devil Colony” and what inspired it. The new book started

from an argument. I have several friends who are Mormons, and at a dinner, I overheard a heated discussion among them about a controversial and contested section of the Book of Mormon: specifically that the Native Americans are said to be descendants from one of the ten lost tribes of Israel. While on face value this seems like a wild claim, and genetics certainly seems to dismiss this possibility, I was intrigued—and it started a yearlong investigation into Native American history, Jewish lore, and the early founding of America. To my total surprise, gathering information from disparate

sources, pieces began to fall together in a most startling fashion. Why hadn’t anyone put these pieces together before? Not only were these resources valid and the facts gathered backed by solid research, but they came together so perfectly that the picture that finally came to light had to be true—astoundingly and disturbingly true. It alters all we understand about American history. I knew I had to tell this story. 8. At the heart of most of your books there is always a controversial theme. What do hope your readers take away from your books? The number one goal

of all my books is simple: to entertain. I try to craft a story that is as much of a rollercoaster as it a thriller. But ultimately for a story to have some resonance, I believe it should leave the reader with something to think about after he or she turns that last page. It’s one of the reasons at the end of each novel, I lay out what’s true and what’s not in the book. In The Devil Colony, I raise questions about the founding of this country, specifically the role that Native Americans played in that formation. Some of the most startling revelations are true. But I also broach topics about the dangers of nanotech-

nology, about a geological disaster brewing out West, and about mysteries at the heart of the Book of Mormon. 9. Give us three qualities of a great writer. And of a great book. In regards to a writer, I respect those individuals who are always pushing their boundaries—both in subject matter and in their own abilities. Second, a great writer should never forget his or her reader and respect that unspoken contract with them. Lastly (and this may seem contradictory to the last stateSee ROLLINS, page 21

RSF School students cook and learn at The Inn Ms. Maud’s 3rd grade class received their math instruction at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Wednesday, June 8. Executive Chef John Beriker graciously hosted and demonstrated the importance of understanding fractions and using proper measurement when preparing pizza dough. He also gave the children an overview of the ways in which math is used every day when planning for ingredients and meals in the restaurant business. Afterwards, the children made and rolled their own dough and prepared individual pizzas for themselves.

Science Fair winners at Solana Santa Fe What do lava lamps, diaper absorbency and wind resistance have in common? They are all recent science projects completed by Solana Santa Fe students for the school’s science fair. Fourth, fifth and sixth grade students were given the opportunity to participate in this extra credit assignment and awards were handed out to students in each grade level on June 3. “I think the importance (of the science fair) is to encourage students to use what they’ve learned in the classroom and the science lab and take their science learning a little further,” said Kathy Motschall, Solana Santa Fe’s science teacher who coordinated the science fair this year with the assistance of parent volunteers Suzanne Agarwal, Ruth Antonorsi and Leesa Davis. “Our children are the innovators and creative thinkers of the future. How very exciting to see their enthusiasm for science!” said parent volunteer Suzanne Agarwal. The school’s science fair dates back 10 years when parents and teachers initiated an extra-curricular science activity for upper grade students. The fair has been held almost every year since then and this year there were approximately 50 projects. Students were given the option to work with a partner or on their own and every participant received a ribbon. Awards were given out for first, second and third place as well as honorable mention. Motschall, who will be retiring this year, started as a teaching assistant at Solana Santa Fe when the school first opened in 1993, and has been the science lab teacher since 1998. Motschall said she first became interested in science during her sophomore year in high school and eventually obtained a degree in science education from the University of Arizona. She married a scientist and has three adult children and two grandchildren. Motschall said her favorite part of being a science teacher is watching her students’ progress from the beginning of kindergarten until they reach sixth grade. “I’d like them all to be science people in their adult lives,” said Motschall. “There can never be too many scientists.” Science Fair winners included: 4th Grade: Honorable Mention: Wind Resistance on Cars: Aiden Borts & Sam Hubbard Magnetism: Joseph Phillips 3rd Place: Diaper Absorbency: Frankie Acierno & Patrick Mellon Candy Crystals: Ali Youel 2nd Place: Exercise & Video Games: Gunnar Michelsen Skateboard Kickflip: Cooper Mortimer Falling Objects: KJ Newman 1st Place: Lights, Colors, Combinations: Mariel Alexander 5th Grade: 3rd Place: Hot Ice: Landis O’Coyne

Guest column/Editorial

Teacher/coach a special scholar-athlete mentor BY DIANA BURDICK, PARENT OF CCA STUDENT AND LACROSSE PLAYER Some know Kaveh Shakeri as Canyon Crest Academy’s innovative chemistry teacher. Others know him as the motivational CCA junior varsity lacrosse coach. Some are lucky to know him in both awe-inspiring roles. Either way, there are no dumb jocks or science nerds in Mr. Shakeri’s following. Last month, there was a calling for nominaKaveh Shakeri tions for “Outstanding High School Chemistry Teacher of the Year in San Diego.” CCA parent Colleen Grobisen sent out an email asking students and parents to send in their nominations for their beloved teacher and coach. She implored, “It seems every year, Mr. Shakeri’s job is in jeopardy due to budget cuts and his lack of tenure in the district. Hopefully, this recognition will help to keep him at our school.” The overwhelming response was more than 30 letters written by grateful parents and inspired scholars and/or athletes. Here are the highlights: “Because of Kaveh’s dedication to the students, his enthusiasm and positive approach to teaching, our son will probably choose a career in chemistry.” Beth Anne Bartell, parent “My son heads off to USC in Biomedical Engineering next year and I know that Mr. Shakeri has definitely had a positive impact on his life.” Anna Mintz, parent “We are very extremely impressed by Mr. Shakeri’s diligence, commitment and love for the subject, which he passes on to his students.” Ghazala Rehan, parent “Mr. Shakeri will use whatever teaching resources available to him to make sure his students truly understand the material they are presented in the classroom. He wants to make sure ALL students are successful in his classroom and knows that what works for one student may not work for the other.” Stacy Hickman, parent “I took AP Chemistry last year with Mr. Shakeri and he profoundly influenced my ability to cope with a rigorous schedule and balance sports with school. He held Thursday night review sessions, supervised studying in his classroom during his free fourth period, and aptly answered any questions I had about chemistry, school, or lacrosse. Mr. Shakeri played an important role in facilitating my transition from college prep to AP courses and I think he would be an excellent candidate for the Outstanding High School Science Teacher award.” Jared Weinstein, student “He is the best science teacher I have ever had, not to mention, coach and mentor…I remember he would return to his classroom after lacrosse practice in order to prepare interesting lessons and experiments for our class, even when he was exhausted...He committed many of his Saturdays to preparing us for the AP test…he was kind enough to write me letters of recommendation for colleges and scholarships despite his busy schedule. I feel as if he played an integral part in my college acceptances and my future.” Kaivon Sobhani, senior student attending UCSD in the fall “He teaches chemistry with innovation and enthusiasm so that every student can understand. On the lacrosse field, he coaches with toughness and fairness toward all of his players. He has made a significant impact on my high school experience and I will always remember him as one of my favorite teachers and coaches.” Matt Sugar, senior student attending Pepperdine in the fall While this Chem-LAX extraordinaire did not win the Outstanding High School Chemistry Teacher Award this year, Mr. Shakeri did get a renewed contract to teach at Canyon Crest Academy in the fall. Even more rewarding

is the acknowledgement and accolades he truly deserves from the people that matter most to him. Here is his response when given the letters: “I am so truly thankful for the wonderful community I am a part of here at CCA. The students and parents have been so terrific since I have been here. It is all their hard work that deserves the credit. Reading the letters pretty much brought me to tears. I was not expecting all those kind words. That was probably one of the most rewarding moments in my life to see all the hard work that has been recognized by the students and families that I care so much about. I will never forget the thoughts that were shared, especially from the students and players. “ Student and lacrosse player, Alex Burdick, conducted an interview to discern the “chemistry” and make-up of his scholar-athlete mentor: A: What is your academic background? Shakeri: 2001 graduate of University of Maryland.; BS in chemistry. I spent the next four years in the biotech industry before becoming a teacher. A: What is your sports background? Shakeri: High school sports included football, track and lacrosse. At the university, I played club lacrosse and in my senior year, was co-captain of the team and helped run the lacrosse club. I was also a professional ski instructor for five years, both part-time and full-time, and was a coach in many different camps. A: How do you see academics and sports coming together to shape a “life philosophy?” Shakeri: By being accountable and supportive of the “team.” Having a “family based” team. Develop yourself as well as contribute personal sacrifice. Having “teammates” for support. Teammates should help each other through everything. A: What traits do you see as the most common in successful scholar athletes? Shakeri: Drive, passion, determination, goal setting, asking for support, communication, schedule management. A: How many scholar athletes are there on the lacrosse team? Shakeri: To some level, we are all scholars. CCA has the highest GPA in the High School Lacrosse Conference. A: Are there other notable athlete scholars in your academic classes? Shakeri: Definitely. Being an athletic scholar is held in high regard on campus. Academics are always the first priority but successful academics are often found , in part, with athleticism. A: What would you recommend to students who are trying to balance school and sports? Shakeri: Setting a schedule and not working/organizing day-to-day. Balance your time and find a support system. Have a good foundation and reliance with people that can help. A: What about “free time?” Shakeri: This should also be scheduled. Find time that doesn’t coincide with more important things. A: Is there a quote, belief or mentor that you share with your students? Shakeri: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” By Samuel Bechett. I believe that you need to try your hardest and build on that to make sure you are going to do better the next time. A: What are some of your personal and professional goals? Shakeri: I have a passion for travel and being able to work in other countries, particularly undeveloped, third world countries. I would like to help develop their education and infrastructure. A: How do you define your success? Shakeri: By being able to share the sport I love with young people and by being a positive role model. Congratulations Mr. Shakeri for having your success acknowledged, defined, and praised by our next generation of scholar-athlete mentors.

Amanda Molin with Scrappy and Trooper

Adorable Pitt Bull-mix puppies need new families Meet Scrappy and Trooper, two beautiful Pit Bull mix puppies who need new families. A few short weeks ago, Scrappy and Trooper, five monthold female strays, were found wandering together in the San Bernardino area. When they were taken in at the Devore Animal Shelter they were tired, hungry, scared and malnourished. The Molin family and several others in Rancho Santa Fe have been helping the rescue group BULLpen by fostering stray and abandoned Pitt Bulls. Amanda Molin has been helping to take care of Scrappy, (Pit Bull Terrier mix, the little brown one) and Trooper, ( Pit Bull Collie mix) in preparation for getting a dog of her own when she turns 10. The Molin family will be traveling out of the country from June 20 until August 2012. They are looking for two families to permanently adopt these adorable female puppies, which are now in excellent health. “I love Trooper and Scrappy,” said Amanda. “They are so sweet, and playful and they’re always

so happy to see us. I just wish they could find someone nice to take care of them when I leave, so I know they will be safe and loved.” The puppies are kidfriendly, well behaved and, finally, according to Elise Molin, potty trained. Molin has been working with Jesse Orosco and Brittany Hilzinger of The BULLpen, an organization that rescues Pitt Bulls threatened with death. The BULLpen places Pit Bulls with foster care families until a family can be found to adopt them. “They need donations in order to continue saving dogs from the Devore Animal Shelter, where healthy dogs can be put to death after only four days,” said Molin. The Molin family asks if you, or anyone you know, is interested in adopting Scrappy and Trooper, to call Elise Molin at 858-504 0798 or email her at friismolin@ mac.com. For more information about The BULLpen, contact Jesse Orosco at jorosco87@yahoo.com or call 858-386 8696.

ment), the best writers are those who constantly strive to surprise their readers, to challenge them and never let them fully see what’s coming. As to a great book, it should entertain, illuminate, and inspire. 10. There is a lot of talk about the end of books. Do you see this as simply an evolution, or will the move to e-books truly impact what we read, and if so, how? Again, volumes could

be written on this subject. And I’m certainly no expert. I think there will always be a place for the printed book, but the trend (especially with younger readers who grew up in this electronic age) is moving to e-books. What does this mean? I personally believe that this might be a good thing. That more people will be buying and reading, simple because of the convenience of these devices. But only time will tell. We’re definitely in a new world. 11. What is the best advice you received as a

beginning writer? To write characters that people care about. No matter how exciting a story is or how well crafted a plot, if your readers aren’t invested in those characters, then you’ve lost before you’ve even begun. So all stories should first start with addressing the characters in your novel: who are you taking with you on that journey? 12. What advice do you give aspiring authors? It’s one word: READ. There’s the old adage that you should “write every day” if you wish to get pub-

lished, which is definitely true. You do need to practice and hone your craft. But I’d like to add a caveat to that old nugget: “Write everyday, but read every night.” There is no better teacher on the craft than a good book. Whatever problem you struggle with during your writing day (dialog, opening a scene, etc), you’ll discover a great example on how to address that in the book you read that night. If you write everyday and read every night, you’ll grow stronger and stronger as a writer. That, and don’t forget to floss.

RICE

known lady architect after research on Rice for inclusion in a story on the San Dieguito Union High School — a 1936 Rice design — proved an impossible task. “I went to the library to find a book on Lilian J. Rice for reference and could not find one single volume written about her,” said Welch. “ I felt very strongly that here was a most significant woman in our nation’s history that needed to brought out of the shadows. So I wrote that book!” Four years of research, poring through newspaper archives, conducting dozens of interviews with old timers, and the gifting of a large collection of vintage photographs by Tom Clotfelter, the Spurr Family, and Miriam Sellgren, helped bring Rice’s story to light. Welch is designated as Lilian J. Rice’s official biographer by family descendants who aided with the research. Known locally for her work in Rancho Santa Fe, where she was resident supervisory architect in the 1920s, Rice designed for movie stars and the nation’s wealthy. However, her accomplishments have been largely unrecognized beyond the Ranch’s 92067 zip code. Rice’s work actually spanned the county and one of her last projects was an elementary school in South Chula Vista built in 1938. The school was renamed the Lilian J. Rice Elementary School after Rice died later that year. To find out more visit www.lilianjrice.com

Nathenson said her group received support for its decision to cancel the Surf and Sun Andalusian Horse Show. “The entire group applauded us for understanding,” she said. Janet Holden of the Del Mar Horsepark said the virus has not impacted hunter/jumper shows at the facility. “Our horse shows are still going very strong,” she said.

week, are currently expired; the terms of the remaining two board members expire in January. “By next year, Governor Brown will be able to reconstitute the board entirely,” said Nussbaum, who lives in the unincorporated area east of Del Mar, and had served on the fair board for 13 years. Nussbaum is CEO and founder of BNC Real Estate, a real estate investment firm. The potential for sweeping change on the fair board comes at a pivotal time for the 406-acre coastal property, which includes the fairgrounds and the Del Mar Racetrack. A proposal remains on the table for the city of Del Mar to purchase the property from the state for $120 million, while the fair board is moving forward with a controversial master plan calling for upgrades and additions to the property. Fair board members didn’t question Brown’s prerogative to remake the panel with his own appointees, but the method of carrying out the decision and its timing have left some scratching their heads. The announcement came on the eve of the biggest annual event at the fair, when the board is on hiatus, with no meetings planned until August. Hardage, a Fairbanks Ranch resident who has served on the board for six years and is battling cancer, said she was receiving an infusion at her doctor’s office when a message about the dismissal was left on her cell phone by an aide to the governor. “I actually was kind of stunned they would step outside the bounds of normal courtesy and leave a message on my cell phone,” said Hardage. “It did come as a surprise, especially the manner in which it was handled.

the racing community. The Del Mar meet begins July 20. “(The virus) has been isolated, and we haven’t heard much about it over the last few weeks, which is a great sign,” he said. Rick Arthur, equine medical director for the California Horse Racing Board, pointed out that there’s not a lot of crossover between thoroughbreds and cutting horses. “All of the horses who have come down with the virus have been in contact with cutting horses out of Ogden either directly or indirectly,” he said. “It’s not a big concern with the thorough-

“I’d just be curious to know what the thinking was, why it was so important to do it at the beginning of the fair. Especially when there are no meetings until August,” said Hardage, who co-founded, along with her husband, Samuel, the Vision of Children Foundation, which raises funds to seek a cure for hereditary childhood blindness. “It was an honor to serve on the 22nd District Agricultural Association board. It’s a terrific, dedicated group of people who serve on that board,” Hardage said. Nussbaum said serving on the fair board was one of the great joys of his life, and he plans to re-apply to serve on the board in the future. “It was a thrill for me every day to go to the fairgrounds. It’s been an honor to have the job,” Nussbaum said. “I’m sure that the governor’s office is focused on the budget as they should be… and my understanding is the governor is working seven days a week on that project,” Nussbaum said. “My hope is when he pulls off a miracle and fixes or stabilizes our financial crisis, he’ll have time to look at things like fair board appointments and I hope mine will be considered favorably at that time.” Fair board member Russ Penniman praised his departing board colleagues, and said he hopes the governor will move quickly to fill the seats, because a quorum of five members is needed to conduct business. “They’re all well-meaning and hard-working and had the best interests of the facility and staff and people of San Diego in mind. We’ve had a good team,” Penniman said. “I’m hopeful we will have some new members in place so we can continue to function effectively.” Although the board may be short-handed until Brown fills the vacant positions, the remaining board members and the 22nd DAA staff will continue to manage and operate the fairgrounds without

breds.” A lot of horses are housed individually at racetracks, which cuts down the exposure risk, Arthur said. At this time, there are no reported incidents of EHV-1/EHM at Hollywood Park, he said, which is where the majority of horses who race at Del Mar are currently located. Owners who suspect that their horse may have contracted the virus should call the CDFA Animal Health Branch Headquarters Office at (916) 6541477 or the Ontario branch at (909) 9474462.

interruption, said Adam Day, who was vice president of the board until the dismissals, and is now president. “The three individuals (Nussbaum, Hardage and Burt) are dedicated volunteers who have worked hard for the people of San Diego,” said Day. “I look forward to working with the new members whoever they are. Turnover on a board like this is part of the process.” Day has served on the fair board for three years, and his term is set to expire in January. He said he doesn’t see changes on the board having an impact on either the implementation of the master plan or the potential fairgrounds sale. “Opposition to the sale is far and wide. It’s bad public policy and it’s bad for our economy,” Day said. “It’s such bad policy, it’s essentially dying on the vine in Sacramento.” The potential sale of the fairgrounds was negotiated between Del Mar officials and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Brown indicated in February that now is not the best time to sell real estate. However, he has not made a final decision on whether to sell the fairgrounds. Meanwhile, a spokesman for state Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, said Kehoe’s bill authorizing the sale has been put on hold until next year. As for Brown’s decision on the three fair board dismissals, she said in an email statement, “The members of the Del Mar Fair Board had served a number of years and their terms had expired. It looks like the Governor wanted to make a change.” Del Mar and Solana Beach officials, who have in the past locked horns with the fair board and fairgrounds management over such issues as land use, traffic and noise, favorably greeted the governor’s decision on the three board members. “I am pleased that Governor Brown is paying attention to the performance of the 22nd DAA board, and that he

favors local control. I look forward to the announcement of the three new appointees to the board,” said Del Mar Mayor Don Mosier. “There are seven expired seats on the fair board so I hope the Governor doesn’t stop at just three! I’d like to see him fill this board with individuals who are accountable and responsive to the concerns of the surrounding communities, respectful of the sensitive wetlands in this area and the traditional activities and agricultural goals of the 22nd DAA,” said Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner. — Reporter Marlena Medford contributed to this report.

PLANS continued from page 2 trict. Under state law and the County’s charter, the Board of Supervisors is required to adopt the County’s final redistricting ordinance. The Board is expected to introduce its redistricting ordinance at its July 12 public meeting and adopt a final ordinance at its August 2 meeting. The ordinance would take effect in early September, setting district lines for elections in 2012 through 2021.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Author, organic cooking expert to give free cooking class at fair BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor A new recipe book has been recently released by the co-founder of “Pure Pantry,” Elizabeth Kaplan. Titled “Fresh From Elizabeth’s Kitchen” [Pennington Press Publishing Group] the book was written in response to a growing customer base who had benefited from Kaplan’s gluten-free organic baking mixes sold under the Pure Pantry label. Now a nationwide company, Pure Pantry was started two years ago as a local family business. Kaplan’s husband and mother partner in the venture. The bakery products are in Whole Foods, Jimbo’s Naturally and Sprouts, and just recently were made available in Canada. “There is such a need for good-tasting, gluten-free products so that’s why we started this company,” explained Kaplan, who had to go gluten-free when she was diagnosed with celiac disease — an autoimmune disease that damages the villi

WELCH in the small intestine – after she gave birth to her second child, Ryan. There is a genetic factor in the disease. Ryan developed it and Kaplan’s daughter and youngest son are gluten-intolerant. “So our whole family eats gluten-

free,” she said. Celiac disease causes problems for a lot of people, said Kaplan. In fact, one in a hundred people suffer with the condition, studies show. “But very few have actually been diagnosed,” she added. Kaplan was diagnosed

eight years ago and since then she has noticed more awareness about the condition. “The long-term effects of celiac disease are horrible” said Kaplan, “It can lead to stomach cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis and can affect the whole body.”

Early diagnosis is critical and changes to a gluten-free diet can facilitate a healthier life, she added. An understanding of the science of baking led Kaplan to experiment with blending different flours to make favorite recipes. (Kaplan studied at the Culinary Institute in San Francisco and later took a gluten-free baking course at the Natural Foods Institute in New York.) A gluten-free diet translates to no wheat, barley or rye. Instead amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat are substituted. Kaplan’s family eats a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, organic lean beef, fish and chicken. They also eat dairy-free. “We always eat in,” she said. “We embrace the art of cooking, as it’s hard to dine out.” The book features allergen-free, family-friendly dishes, such as Mojito Chicken and Almond Encrusted Tilapia. Recipes focus on full-flavored and nutrient dense food with baked goods like Lemon Tea Bread,

Peach Cobbler Muffins and Blueberry Millet Scones being favorites, and Key Lime Meringue Pie satisfying the dessert craving. Everyone in the family loves the Sticky Toffee Pudding, said Kaplan, a dessert modified from a traditional English recipe. “Everyone can have their cake and eat it, too,” she quipped. In her passion to build awareness of gluten-free living, Kaplan lectures and does cooking and baking demonstrations. She has been featured on QVC and San Diego TV stations. Upcoming local events include a gluten-free cooking class at the San Diego County Fair on Sunday, June 19, at 2 p.m. in the San Diego Pavilion Culinary Salon; and a presentation and book signing at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club on Thursday, July 14, at 7 p.m. To find out more about the Pure Pantry product line or to purchase a book, which retails at $24.95, visit Kaplan’s website at www. thepurepantry.com

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Part-time local resident co-authors a cautionary tale Book warns of ‘Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin’ BY JOE TASH Contributor A former aide to exAlaska governor Sarah Palin asserts in a new book that Palin is “ill suited” to head a political party or occupy national office, and her election “would lead to a disaster of… biblical proporKen Morris tions.” “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin” was written by Frank Bailey, who worked on Palin’s campaign for governor and later served in her administration. He was a key figure in the Troopergate scandal, in which it was alleged that Palin improperly sought the firing of an Alaska state trooper who had been married to Palin’s sister. Bailey co-wrote the book with novelist and political commentator Ken Morris, who attended high school in La Jolla and still maintains a house in Del Mar, and Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon.

Bailey’s book is based on a trove of emails between himself, Palin, Palin’s husband, Todd, and other Palin staffers, and was published last month by Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc. The book created a stir in February when a draft manuscript was released by writer Joe McGinniss, who is working on his own tellall book about Palin, according to the authors. The publication preceded last Friday’s release by Alaska officials of emails sent and received by Palin when she was governor. Morris, 58, lives most of the year with his family in Marin County, north of San Francisco, but often returns to Del Mar to visit friends and relatives and enjoy the local beaches. In a telephone interview from his Bay Area home, he said “Blind Allegiance” is both a cautionary tale about America’s political system, and Bailey’s personal story of losing his moral bearings, and then making amends and seeking redemption. Morris said the book details Palin’s obsession with using all resources at her disposal to punish those she perceives as opposing or slighting her. “Her world is full of demons,” said Morris. “She is a very disturbed person and I feel sorry for her.” The Palin camp has dis-

missed the book as a fabrication. “Mr. Bailey has an axe to grind and abandoned truth in his book. The cover of the book tells this story, two completely different photos twisted and Photoshopped to create a fraudulent image. The book belongs on the fiction shelves,” said Tim Crawford, a spokesman for SarahPAC, Palin’s political action committee, in an article published on the website Politico. But Morris said every key point in the book is backed up by emails from Bailey’s files. He said Palin supporters have not challenged the accuracy of any fact in the book, and that many book covers contain electronically altered images. In the case of “Blind Ambition,” photos of Bailey and Palin are juxtaposed to make it appear that Bailey is standing behind Palin. “The attack machine is about everything but what’s between the covers,” Morris said. Among the book’s assertions: • When Palin returned to Alaska after she and running mate John McCain lost the presidential election in November 2008, she told reporters, “this is the best job in the world, being the governor.” At the time, Bailey recalled, he had recently received an email

Ken Morris, a part-time Del Mar resident, helped Frank Bailey, a former aide to Sarah Palin, write ‘Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin.’ Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon also contributed. from Palin saying, “pray that we win so we can all get out of this place.” Bailey said he’d also heard her say or write, “I hate this damn job.” She resigned from the governor’s job in July 2009, with more than a year left on her term. • Palin’s gubernatorial campaign violated state election law when it coordinated with an outside group, the Republican Governor’s Association, to produce a commercial that portrayed Palin in a positive light while giving a negative connotation to Palin’s opponent. • Palin was outraged at

a perceived slight by former House speaker Newt Gingrich, regarding a speaking engagement at a congressional fund-raising dinner. Palin reportedly wrote in an email, “I went from being the invited keynote speaker back in February, to just the surprise introducer of the speaker this month, to the back-of-the-bus’er (“sit down and shut up”) the day before the event. One of the organizers told Meg last night that Newt pulled the plug, said he didn’t want me to ‘steal the show’.” “Yes, (Newt/GOP) are egotistical, narrow minded machine goons, but all the more reason God protected me from getting up on stage in front of 5000 political and media ‘elites’ to praise him, then it would be shown across the nation. At some point Newt would have shown his true colors anyway and we would have been devastated having known we’d earlier prostituted ourselves up in front of the country introducing him and acting like that good ol’ rich white guy is the savior of the party.” One of the main points of the book, said Morris, is that the political parties and voters have to do a better job of checking out candidates for high office. Otherwise, he said, an unqualified candidate — he points to Palin as an example — could wind up as ei-

ther president or vice president. When Morris and his family are in San Diego, they visit Morris’ brother, who owns the Kansas City Barbecue restaurant downtown. Morris’ wife, Amelia, works for a San Diego-based equity firm. Morris lived in La Jolla for about 20 years, and his father, who died two years ago, was the former chairman of the board of San Diego Gas & Electric Co. A former Wall Street executive, Morris has written two novels, “Man in the Middle” and “The Deadly Trade,” both financial thrillers. He said a new novel, with the working title of “Golden Rules,” is set to be published soon. It tells the story of a female private investigator in New York City on the trail of a murderer. While he doesn’t expect Palin to run for president in 2012 — in spite of her much publicized recent bus tour of the northeastern United States — Morris said developments such as Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee staying out of the race, and Gingrich’s campaign troubles, could tempt her into the fray. “If she ever won, I’d have to move,” Morris said. “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin” is available at major bookstores and on Amazon.com.

Charlie Gange receives top honors at TPHS In his senior year alone, Torrey Pines High School student Charlie Gange has received the Golden Falcon Award, been appointed to the Global Leadership Connection Scholarship Program, and was elected as a member of the All Academic Team for Baseball from the San Diego Union Tribune for high academic GPA, as well as sports involvement. He was also honored as “Best Male Lead Actor” in the TPHS theater program for his lead role in “The Who’s Tommy” and was chosen by his fellow students as Senior Prom King. When honored with the Golden Falcon Award – given to two students who stand out in a big way, live the school’s vision and are “life-long earners who make significant contributions to our world”— the words spoken about Charlie at the awards dinner were words any parent Charlie Gange would be proud to hear about their child. “He possesses a huge heart and great soul…he has truly left a wonderful mark on our campus.” “If you want an example of a solid well-rounded and grounded kid to represent what TPHS is about, he’s the guy.” And, “He is one of the most dynamic and inspirational students that I have had the pleasure of knowing.” And those are just the awards. What he has accomplished on top of that is just as impressive. Headed to University of Oregon in the fall – a school that is known for its sports spirit – Charlie is already poised to be a super fan. During his senior year at TPHS, he created the “Falcon Faithful” club which was formed to support all of the Falcons sports teams. The club has increased participation and pride in the school’s sports teams tenfold. Community service is another place where Charlie excels. As Torrey Pines Pop Warner musical director, Charlie arranged music for all Pop Warner Midget games at the Torrey Pines High School field. He worked with cheerleading squads, football coaches and TPPW board members to plan half time and pre and post game entertainment, which in true Charlie fashion made the games more spirited and entertaining. Charlie was a performer, fundraiser and committee member for the “To Save A Child’s Heart,” Kawasaki Disease Gala and Symposium; a featured musical performer for the Help for Haiti Fundraiser at TPHS and The Korean Catholic Church in San Diego; volunteered at the “Match Maker Gala,” a fundraiser for Blood Marrow Donors; volunteered at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club for a Cure for Cancer Fundraiser; and was a volunteer coach for the Solana Beach Little League. Music is his true love. Since he was born, Charlie has been very involved with music. He began classical piano lessons at age 7 and at age 8 wrote the music and lyrics to a song named “Liberty.” This song led him to win his elementary school’s talent contest and a performance in front of thousands of people on Earth Day. When Charlie was 10, he began playing guitar and hasn’t put it down since. In high school, he’s been involved in composing music, singing, playing the guitar and piano, and performing. He’s been asked perform at fundraisers, parties and weddings. His band, “Rice and Cracker,” won TPHS’s Battle of the Bands and he’s currently working with a vocal coach and plans to participate in many more theatrical and musical endeavors. When Charlie receives his diploma this Friday, his two little brothers will also be receiving diplomas – Scotty from Solana Pacific and Christian from Carmel Valley Middle School. And so going off to Oregon in the fall is bittersweet for Charlie. He’s enormously proud of his brothers and really loves helping coach Scotty’s Little League games and will likely hop on a few flights home to watch Christian play on the Torrey Pines High School football team. Whether rooting for the Ducks or the Falcons, for Charlie, the beat always goes on…

Nestled in the heart of the village is the romantic Mille Fleurs restaurant, named for the floral pattern on the rare blue-and-white Portuguese Delft tile inlaid in the walls.

Guests are greeted by the sight of bright yellow umbrellas shading about a dozen tables, as a fountain bubbles in the center. Inside the restaurant, patrons can opt for an intimate or casual experience, with several seating areas from which to choose.

has media viewing availability. Chef Martin Woesle varies the menu daily, and bases his decisions on the availability of ingredients from nearby Chino Farm, according to Hug. Appetizers and entrees that might be offered include Burgundy Escargots, Yellowfin Tuna and Green Bean Salad, Lamb Prepared Two Ways and the Prime Beef Cheese Burger. For dessert, a patron might find Pear and Goat Cheese Tartlet, Frozen Cherry Nougat or Truffles of Belgian Chocolate. Reservations are recommended at Mille Fleurs — the restaurant’s busiest times tend to be during the Del Mar racing season and holidays, Hug said. “We are modern, yet quaint,” he said. “We serve the freshest food, and we change the menu every day. The people who work here have been here forever. We have so many regulars coming in, they know they will find a friendly face.”

Old Globe’s summer Shakespeare Fest is back with a classic trio BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Shakespeare has his fans even more than 400 years since he began his prolific writing career. Many of those fans anxiously await the arrival of the annual Old Globe’s Shakespeare Festival. This year’s offerings include the Tony Award-winning Best Play “Amadeus.” The story of a man known as a musical genius who finds himself the target of jealous rage by composer Antonio Salieri, also won the Academy Award for Best Film. Comedy buffs will enjoy of the bard’s most popular farce, “Much Ado About Nothing.” What could be more fun then the battle of an arrogant, confirmed bachelor and his squabbling partner … or their opposites, two lovebirds who seem perfect until someone shows up to spoil everything. “The Tempest,” Shakespeare’s last and beloved masterpiece, focuses on the human condition and what happens when love meets revenge. How a magician marooned on a desert island reacts when he’s about to be discovered by his enemies unfolds with humor, romance and charm … and maybe a little bit of redemption along the way.

Don John in “Much Ado About Nothing.” He received the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Craig Noel Award for his work in last year’s productions of “King Lear,” “The Taming of the Shrew” and “The Madness of George III.” Because Whittaker had little experience with musicals, he said he dove into preparation when offered the part of Amadeus by director Adrian Noble. “I got a piano teacher, learned to read music, studied Mozart’s life, and began reading music theory books,” Whittaker said. “But once I read the script, I realized that the character in the play is the essence of Mozart’s spirit, not the historical Mozart, and that all the research I did got in my way, so I let it all go. That was a lot more fun.” Whittaker said there have been eight versions of “Amadeus” written and Peter Shaffer wrote this version after the 1984 movie came out. “This one has a different ending from the movie; the messenger is not Salieri, and Mozart’s father is also not a part.” In “Much Ado About Nothing,” Whittaker takes on the role of villain Don John who wants to break up the romance between Hero and Claudio. “It’s fun to play a villain,” he Actor Jay Whittaker returns to said. “But Don John is not a the festival as Wolfgang Amadecomplex villain, so I have to us Mozart in “Amadeus” and find what makes him real. He announces The Del Mar Village Association invites everyone to cel- at the be-

ginning of the play, ‘I’m evil, I’m angry, and I want to hurt people,’ so it can be challenging because you really want to make him grounded at some point. But Ron Daniels (director) has a very specific vision for this production. He’s really playing down the comedy to find the truth of the story.” While “Amadeus” features traditional music, Whittaker said the music for “The Tempest” was written especially for this production and is very exciting. He credits the Old Globe for its “outstanding efforts” with the Shakespeare productions. “They do things right by bringing in experienced actors and directors and making them happy by treating them with respect and giving the directors what they need.” Whittaker said. “Deirdre Clancy’s costumes for ‘Much Ado’ are probably the

most gorgeous I’ve ever seen — and I haven’t even seen the ones for ‘Amadeus’ yet.”

South Pacific ‘Paradise’ comes to the Maritime Museum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Whether you’re a sailing enthusiast, a confirmed landlubber, or a lover of history, art, and tales of the South Pacific, downtown’s waterfront Maritime Museum has a show for you: “Cook, Melville & Gauguin: Three Voyages to Paradise.” The 156-piece exhibit contains a wealth of art and artifacts relating to the voyages of Captain James Cook (1728-79), writer Herman Melville (1819-91) and artist Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Among these is the largest display of Gauguin’s sculptures ever shown. Most of the pieces come from the Kelton Foundation, whose president, Richard Kelton, is an adventurous sailor and renowned collector of Pacific and maritime art. “I love the sea, I’ve sailed to all these areas, and I’ve had a long association with the Maritime Museum,” he said. Though he lives in Santa Monica, he calls San Diego his second home, since the family real estate firm he helmed for

The exhibit is installed in two parts on two of the museum’s eight historic ships: the Berkeley, a late19th-century steam ferry, has the art, and the history goes to H.M.S. Surprise, a 1970 replica of an 18thcentury Royal Navy frigate, that was seen in “Master & Commander,” and more recently, in “Pirates of the Carribbean 4.” Your voyage begins on the Berkeley, with a huge modern painting made by

the world of Gauguin. The standout is a newly-discovered erotic sculpture, believed to be one of the art-

ist’s lost woodcarvings. But there are other delights, like the Japanese-influenced Resurrection Sarcophagus, which he gave to his longsuffering French wife to explain the life choices that kept him from home. On the Surprise, maritime history comes alive as you walk past a replica of Cook’s cabin, examine a variety of quintants and sextants, watch film clips from Moby Dick, Adventures in Paradise or Mutiny on the Bounty, and really feel what it might have been like to be on one of those voyages of discovery. “We hope this exhibit gives viewers a sense of the importance of attempting to preserve whatever paradises still exist in the world,” Kelton said. According to his partner, Mary Nicholls, who has accompanied him on many voyages, Richard Kelton is both sailor and scholar. “He just can’t help himself,” she said. “He started focusing on Gauguin in Tahiti; it’s just been a love affair since then. And every long voyage we’ve done, we took one or two scientists along.

His major plan was enabling them to reach the islands and pursue their area of research.” According to Robyn Gallant, Director of Events, the exhibit is quite a coup for the Maritime Museum. “A number of other museums across the country were very disappointed that we got the Kelton collection and they didn’t,” she said. Museum staff and volunteers, many with their own experiences of sailing the South Pacific, spent months preparing for the exhibit. Among them is La Jollan Neva Sullaway, a former “sea-going hitchhiker” and editor of the impressive Maritime History Journal, which doubles as the show’s catalog. “My familiarity with the area and with Cook, Melville and Gauguin made the opportunity to do the catalog just thrilling for me,” she said. Share the adventure this summer. See Paradise at the Maritime Museum.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Longtime Morgan Stanley broker named Deliciás Restaurant expands to Barron’s list of ‘Top 100 financial advisors’ menu and wine options

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER For the second year in a row, Robert Inbody was named on the list of Barron’s Top 100 financial advisors, the only broker in San Diego to achieve this honor. Last year, Inbody, a Del Mar resident and managing director at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in La Jolla, was ranked 100th and jumped to 55th this year. Barron’s rankings are based on each advisor’s “assets under management, revenue generated for his or her firm and quality of the practice.” Morgan Stanley Smith Barney boasted 37 of the top 100 advisors. Inbody has been with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney for 40 years, starting as a trainee in the company’s downtown San Diego offices in 1971. When they opened the satellite office in La Jolla in 1975, he became the producing manager, a title he held until 1996 when he went back to being a broker, leaving the management side behind. “The business has been so fantastic, I’m so lucky to have ever gotten into it,” Inbody said. “It’s obviously something I like and it’s rewarding helping other people. I get to know my clients really well.” By staying in one place for 40 years, Inbody has generated the trust and respect that has allowed nearly all of his business to come from referrals. Inbody said he was honored but surprised to be on the list as he’s not your typical financial planner. “My success comes in doing things that no other broker does,” said Inbody of his creating a niche in hedging against a depreciating U.S. dollar by investing in futures and foreign currencies. “I’m very unique, I’m the weirdo. Since 2003, 75 percent of our business has come from gold, oil, foreign currencies. Those have been fantastic areas.” By finding alternative investments, he’s allowed clients to earn an “exceptional income” with reduced risks and accel-

In developing his own style, he’s made his career exciting and different, even on those long days of work when the “sun never sets.” “I love doing what I do, even if I weren’t doing it for Morgan Stanley, I’d be doing the same thing for myself,” Inbody said. “I love it for the game aspect. Any game is fun when you win.” Morgan Stanley Smith Barney is located at 1225 Prospect Street in La Jolla. To contact Inbody, call (858) 729-5010 or e-mail robert.inbody@mssb.com.

With the kids gone, I don’t know if we have anything in common anymore. We still love each other but we are not friends anymore. How do people know if there is enough left in a relationship to fight for it? And when to let it go? Over the years, we’ve tried couples therapy several times…trying to keep it together for the kids. I’m afraid that now that the kids are gone, our marriage is just going to fall apart. — Lonely Wife Dear Lonely Wife, It’s not unusual for couples to have these kinds of concerns when their children grow up and leave home. For so many years, the focus and the glue has been on the kids; couples may need to revitalize their friendship as well as rediscovering themselves. It’s also natural to feel a bit of a void once the kids are gone and most of us look first to our partner to satisfy our craving for a deeper and more meaningful relationship. I want to encourage you to not give up too soon. The inner workings of romantic love and friendship have always been a bit of a mystery; but as of late, we have much more understanding about what makes relationships work. The latest research offers us a clear scientific view of love and how to make it last. We are taught that healthy adults are self-sufficient. Only messed up people depend on others. The research on creating lasting love tells us that romantic love is all about attachment and emotional bonding. We

all need someone who can offer reliable emotional connection and comfort. Couples often get stuck in negative cycles that they don’t understand and can’t seem to change; this can make it hard to Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom listen to each other, support one another, or have fun together. But once you figure out what the negative patterns are, you can uncover the key negative and positive emotional moments that define your relationship. It seems worth the effort to try and rekindle your friendship with each other. Getting to know each other again and learning what you both need from each other and from your relationship is a good place to start. This could be an ideal time in your lives together to create a new dance defined by your own rhythms apart from the children.

With our enrollment cap at 150 for enriched student-to teacher interaction, it’s truly amazing that we have so many students excelling in these disciplines — they compete against schools with much larger student bodies and their accomplishments are a testament to the Small Schools Movement.

BY DR. KEITH KANNER Many fathers never realize how important they are to the development of their children. Yet, as early as in infancy, the father’s participation in the basic needs of a child have tremendous Dr. Keith Kanner immediate and lasting effects. For example, when fathers help with holding, feeding, and soothing an infant, this experience provides the child with a sense of two, rather than a single caregiver. Here, the small child recognizes that not just one, but at least two caregivers are there to provide relief during stressful times and leads to the establishment of basic trust. Once children enter the toddler years, the father’s presence and time with their young child helps them to better manage separation from mother in order to develop a better sense of self and ensure a more comfortable capacity to manage stress. Toddlers and pre-school children who have invested fathers tend to be more successful, tolerating change and adaptation, and are also likely to be more popular. Because fathers tend to play differently with their kids – dads can be a bit more “physical” than moms in their quality of play — it assists both boys and girls to manage aggression better and not get as carried away when they play with their peers. This is due to the fact that most fathers will both have fun but also calm the waters when the play gets too rambunctious. This process then becomes internalized inside of the child.

By the time kids become school age, the father then helps boys and girls better understand gender difference. Here, when boys and girls become more identified with either being male or female, fathers help boys better understand what it feels like to be a boy and give them a direct reference model. As when moms provide the same for their daughters, the parent’s gender role is very helpful in helping kids feel comfortable about who they are and who they might become. And then there is the tween and teen years where the father becomes a frequent buffer due the conflicts between mothers and both sexes as they attempt a more complete separation from moms on the road to greater autonomy. Of course he doesn’t take sides, he rather tries to better calm the waters. Children who grow up without invested fathers sometimes develop a condition called “father hunger.” These children often experience significant problems with regulating aggression, making friends, and feeling comfortable identifying themselves as being “male.” Taken together, the roles of fathers are vastly important in the lives of both boys and girls and the dads who enjoy this time and function experience the greatest joys in being a father and rejoicing in raising healthier children.
