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 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. SEE EQUINE, PAGE 11
Torrey Pines 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 competi-
tive 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 com-

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of AG continued from page 1 San Dieguito speaker to present member board are appointed by the sitting gov‘Because God Loves Stories’ ernor to four-year terms. On Sunday, June 26, at 10 a.m., the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito will present Robin Mitchell speaking on “Because God Loves Stories.” Whether or not God exists, stories about God certainly do; they appear almost everywhere in human culture. Mitchell will explore how we shape and are shaped by these stories, and how the development of Judaism and Christianity can be seen as a series of ever-improving stories about the highest ideals the tellers could imagine. Mitchell is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, who has also taken formal vows as a Buddhist practitioner, and regularly attends the San Dieguito United Methodist Church. The UUFSD is located at 1036 Solana Drive, Solana Beach. For more information and directions, call 858-755-9225 or visit the UUFSD web site at UUFSD.org.

The terms of seven board members, including the three dismissed last 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
POLICE continued from page 1 on an approach called “intelligence and information led” policing, which means deputies will analyze crime data to track trends and hot spots. The team of deputies will also be spending time out in the community, doing things such as talking face-to-face with businesses owners and residents about what they are seeing, and at times even wearing civilian
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. “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 wellmeaning 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 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.
clothing. “This team is not attached to the radio,” said Capt. Sherri Sarro during a presentation to Solana Beach City Council at its June 10 meeting. “You may see them out there wearing flip-flops, shorts and a tshirt because we have a problem in our community with burglaries on the beach. You can’t always catch someone in uniform. Sometimes we need to do things differently.” Crimes that typically
spike during the summertime in this area include public drunkenness, thefts, and DUIs, added Sarro during a later interview. The program will not cost either city any more money, as the program just involves a reallocation of resources. Sarro also added that this program would also likely improve police service to Solana Beach and Encinitas by curbing summertime crime. CET will also utilize support from patrol and
traffic deputies, as well as crime prevention and crime analysis personnel. In addition, the team will work with citizens and business owners to address their concerns related to increased tourism, beach attendance, and any bleed-over effects from the San Diego County Fair. In a nutshell, the program aims to be more proactive rather than reactive. For more information about CET, please call the Encinitas Sherriff station at 760966-3500.

Local author recounts struggle to help 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, father of three and technical 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 preorder 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 com-
pleted 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 premed 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

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 Charlie Gange words any parent 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…

DMTV announces anti-bullying PSA contest winners Danielle Cohen and Monica Roos of Scripps Ranch High School were announced this week as winners of Del Mar Television Foundation’s “Anti-Bullying PSA Contest.” Sophomores in Mike Wasinski’s multi-media/video class were very happy but surprised that they won. Danielle said, “When we found out about the contest, Monica and I talked it over and thought, well why not, nothing may come of it but we can try.” And so they shared responsibilities and produced the one-minute PSA, which garnered them $250 in prize money to split and airing of their PSA on Del Mar Television Channel 130 digital and 24 analog, also on AT&T channel 99. Monica stated, “We wanted to show how hurtful bullying can be.” More of their interview and the PSA can be seen Thursday, June 18, at 8 p.m. and streaming on the website at the same time at delmartv.com. Their PSA against bullying will air at different times throughout June and again in September. The contest is part of Del Mar Television Foundation’s Youth Outreach Program. Luana Karr, project director, stated “We want to involve kids in a positive way. By creating a buy- in or connection to their community it provides them a sense of belonging and, hopefully, a sense of responsibility and future involvement.” The foundation will hold a contest in October geared toward middle school students. The PSA and interview can also be seen on Del Mar TV’s Vimeo Channel: http://vimeo. com/24802602.

GOLF continued from page 1 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
From left to right, the winning TPHS Golf Team: coach Jim Harrah, Bobby Gojuangco, Ryan Burgess, Danny Ochoa, Mike Koeneke, Michael Kim, Dj Magee, Jay Hwang, Coach Chris Drake 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
Members from the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito RSD swim team save boy’s life During a recent swim meet in Irvine, Annie Driscoll and Maddie Uebelhor, two members of the Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito’s Rancho San Dieguito Swim Team, saved a young boys life. “This act shows great character in both the young ladies and we are extremely proud of their heroic acts” said Joe Benjamin, aquatics director at the Harper branch. The rescue began when Annie noticed a young boy submerged under water and therefore she swam out to check on the situation. Upon reaching the young boy, Annie noticed that the boy only had a few bubbles coming from his mouth. Instinctually she grabbed the boy by the under arm area and pulled him to safety above the water’s surface. Maddie noticed Annie struggling from fatigue after swimming from the bottom of the 75 meter pool with the young boy and helped her place him over the lane line and called for help from the lifeguard. Due to the girl’s quick decision making, the young boy was uninjured in the incident. This act of bravery by both girls shows the value of the Boys and Girls Club in shaping young individuals into morally aware citizens. Neither girls hesitated in their decisions to save the young boy’s life and are great role models to the other children in the Boy and Girls Club of San Dieguito program. The Boys & Girls CLubs are going to recognize the girls, as well as have the boy saved swim with the team on Monday, June 27, at 2 p.m. in Solana Beach.

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, hindquarter weakness, lethargy and nasal discharge. It’s mainly spread via nasal secretions and direct horseto-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 concentrated among cutting horses and there are no local cases, some horse

him realizing that his (high school) career was coming to an end and he wanted to make the most of it,” Drake said. 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.”
owners seem to be erring on the side of caution. 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. Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said EHV-1 is not really an issue right now for 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 thoroughbreds.” 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) 654-1477 or the Ontario branch at (909) 947-4462.

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. Actor Jay Whittaker returns to the festival as Wolfgang Amade-
us Mozart in “Amadeus” and 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

said. “But Don John is not a complex villain, so I have to find what makes him real. He announces at the beginning 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.”

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 po-
sition 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.”

Del Mar Little League pitcher Peter Lutz wraps up outstanding season BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Peter Lutz, a 12-year-old pitcher for the Del Mar Little League Majors Division Phillies, pitched a perfect game on June 6. At the Coast Cities Tournament in Encinitas, he faced 15 batters from the Rancho Santa Fe Angels and struck out 12 with no walks, no hits and the game was mercied in the fifth inning. His perfect game came on the tail of a June 1 shut-out where he threw 63 pitches, 11 strikeouts, no walks and only one hit that bounced off the pitchers mound. Phillies Coach John Cunningham said in his 11 years in the Del Mar Little League, he’s never seen a pitching performance anywhere close to this. “He’s just an all around good kid and a joy to coach,” Cunningham said. “He really has the talent and it really showed in the last two games. Everyone watching was really impressed by what they saw.” His June 1 shut-out came in a six-inning game against the Cubs. The Phillies won 6-0 and qualified for the Coast Cities Tournament. Because Peter pitched more than 40 Peter Lutz pitches in a game, he wasn’t available to pitch in the team’s next game on June 3 against the Giants, which they won 5-4. The perfect game came against the Angels, coached by former Major League Baseball player Kirk McCaskill. Despite facing some really good players in the box, Peter dominated with his 62-pitch no hitter. “He’s got a great fast ball and a nasty curveball, guys just buckle at their knees,” Cunningham said. Cunningham said Peter’s quiet confidence is the perfect demeanor for a pitcher. “Nothing gets him rattled,” Cunningham said. “He’s very cool out there.” During his perfect game though, it was tough for everyone involved not to be excited, inside the dugout and in the stands — Cunningham said he caught a few moments where Peter was really enjoying it, allowing a few smiles. “We all knew this was something very special,” Cunningham said. The Phillies would beat the Angels 11-9 but eventually bowed out of Coast Cities with a 1-0 loss to Encinitas. Peter finished the season with 102 strikeouts and a 1.99 ERA. He is just finishing up the sixth grade at Del Mar Heights and will attend Earl Warren in the fall.

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.

Your Family Matters: Celebrating fathers 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 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 “faDr. Keith Kanner ther 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. Dr. Keith Kanner is host/anchor - Your Family Matters - WSRADIO; contributor to LifeChanger, Extra TV; a syndicated columnist; author of “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Parental Dilemmas” (in press); board certified & licensed clinical child, adolescent, & adult psychologist & psychoanalyst; Assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine; National Board Member - KidsKorps USA; and a father of three great kids.

By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that Hanalei Vierra, in 2010 the Ph.D. (Dr. He) and number of M’Lissa Trent, married Ph.D. (Dr. She) couples in American households has dropped below half for the first time ever. We offer our thoughts here as to why trust in the institution of marriage has diminished in the 21st century as well as some of the causes of the negative filter that marriage is currently being viewed through. 1) No matter how you slice it, marriage is expensive. The ring, the ceremony, the life and health insurance, the house, the kids, the retirement fund, the college fund, your daughter’s wedding, etc....all of it can cause pit-of-your-stomach anxiety. People will always be affected by a sputtering economy and make decisions based on their immediate survival needs, much less try to figure out how to best approach and create a sound financial future for a marriage. Do you need that huge ring, big wedding, or Ivy League school tuition when you are already squeaking by trying to pay your monthly rent? While we believe that love--if an option--can always trump the practicalities of money, that doesn’t mean that many, many marriages haven’t crashed and burned as a result of financial hardship. 2) Women and men have different roles now when it comes to
finances. Women are better able to support themselves and their children these days on their own if they need to. So, not as many women are willing to stick around in an unhealthy marriage as they were when there were fewer career opportunities available. For men who want a more traditional role in marriage as the breadwinner while their wives raise the children at home, it is a challenge to find a woman who has not advanced her thinking regarding the changing roles for women. This can be very discouraging for men who are challenged to change their mindset about conventional social norms. 3) Men are much more leery of getting into a financially binding agreement due to the fear of divorce and the loss of half of their life assets. The word “prenup” has become a very commonplace term in our relationship lexicon today. It has also created a pre-marital battleground for couples that exposes pre-existing mistrust and forces them to wrestle with suspicion and uncertainty about each other at a time when they normally are trying to celebrate the joy of their love. This fear has hijacked many well-intended engagements from making it to the altar. 4) In a “me” society, there is an overwhelming lack of commitment to a “we”. This is the age of choices, and for many people, the freedom to make those choices is very alluring. For some, commitment seems analogous to imprisonment and lack of choice. The first part of falling in love and finding a “soul mate” fulfills the fantasy aspect of marriage, and the “me” in all of us gets a big charge from this. But once the hard work
of a relationship becomes necessary, the feeling of confinement can recur unless one is able to remember the bigger picture of what can be learned in a long term committed relationship. Now that people are living well into their eighties, the idea of living with and sleeping with the same person for sixty years is not quite as appealing, especially when the differences that were acceptable at first inevitably start to feel threatening and unacceptable. Unless there is some effort on the couple’s part to learn relationship skills of how to overcome those differences and become more of a “we”, the self-preservation imperative of the “me” takes over, and the “we” connection is damaged. 5) Pathology is accepted less in a marriage. Alcohol/drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, infidelity, etc. are all bright blinking lights on the marital radar screen and less tolerated these days than in previous generations. None of these dysfunctions should be tolerated in a marriage, but the reason they always were was to keep the denial in place that served the co-dependent concept of what marriage used to be. While there is less tolerance today for these marriage-busters, quite often this translates for many people as a lack of tolerance for marriage itself. 6) Men and women are confused about what the value and meaning of marriage is, as well as what their roles in marriage are supposed to be. The divorce rate in and of itself is scaring people off. We are in a transition period of what a healthy, mature, long term marriage looks like, sounds like, walks and talks like. The survival-mode, co-dependent model of marriage taught to us by our parents no longer suits a new generation of men and women who want the quality of a married life to be something better than what they grew up around. Many people come from broken homes and don’t want to repeat what they witnessed and experienced through the trauma of divorce, so they reject the idea all together as a safeguard. 7) Many people still get married at a young age when there is a lack of emotional maturity. Statistics find that the most successful marriages these days are the ones where both partners are educated, started careers on their own, had time to be on their own, and married at a later age. This profile creates a possibility for a much more realistic and mature approach to marriage, but it also points out how the deck is stacked against young people who venture into the marital poker game of life. And when you come right down to it, isn’t the lack of maturity really the underlying cause for all the above marital bugaboos?

Letters to the Editor/Opinion San Diego transit must move into the 21st century Responding to your article on Kehoe’s bill, 468, please note the following errors. “SB 468 reduces the number of properties the state must acquire from 421 to 10 or fewer.” Incorrect, since Kehoe’s office does not feel confident advising on the question about “where are the right-of-ways” involved. Even they have no confidence that the final proposed I-5, limited to “inside the right-of-way” has any meaning or effect until the new, revised I-5 EIR emerges. What does this tell you about how many homes will/will not be taken. Also, I believe this provision only covers the first 10 years of the 40-year project. “SB 468 would also require transit improvements be developed in tandem with the expansion of I-5 within each 10-year period.” Sandag’s 2050 plan includes 3+ billion in bicycle lanes that are being considered “transit” — utterly preposterous. The “Express Bus” proposal in the 2050 plan includes a southbound express bus that circles around in La Jolla, defeating the word “express,” and deadends into UTC. Then someone going from North County has to wait and get a bus from UTC to downtown. These are the “Transit Options” that are moving in tandem with roads. Thirty years ago it took two-plus hours to get from Del Mar to downtown San Diego. By bus, today it takes two-and-a-half hours and in 2050 it will take even longer. North County will
connect via transit by a few more schedules on the coaster. Double tracking cannot occur until tunneling through Del Mar, which is scheduled for 2050 So what is modern, visionary, even common sense about the whole plans for San Diego to spend $189 billion on transit and still not put any meaningful transit into connecting North County with downtown? It’s all a sell-out to the construction unions that are panting at the sidelines waiting for the contracts, paid and sold to them by our “Leaders.” We need to vote them all out. Any modern city that believes its commuting public will take a bike more than 20 minutes or ride an express bus to nowhere, to wait for another transfer, is so out of touch it is impossible to believe it’s anything but sell-out by politicians for votes by unions for 40 years of employment that will continue the freeway gridlock and immense costs in deaths and accidents. Creative solutions would require funds to train willing construction workers in transit and move San Diego into the 21st century and out of its blind marriage to the killing fields, the freeways, 38,000 per year vs. a couple of hundred a year via transit.

Thank you for publishing story on alleged elephant abuse Thank you for reporting on alleged elephant abuse by Have Trunk Will Travel, who provides animal rides at the San Diego County Fair. I urge you to stay on top of this story and hope you will interview in greater depth the Animal Defenders Intl. who have brought this serious issue to daylight. Sanctions by Fair executive[s] may well be biased as this vendor is a revenue asset, one assumes. Neither is the statement of the director of the SD Zoo’s Wild Animal Park necessarily credible as many take issue with elephants in captivity for entertainment and revenue producing entities. It is vital to note, as your reporter did, that the Santa Anna Zoo is also currently investigating Have Trunk Will Travel for animal cruelty by the city’s staff. A coincidence? I salute the Del Mar Times for recognition of the seriousness of this charge in placing the story on the front page. Please be vigilant in your follow-up in reporting in-depth investigation of parties involved. Judith Adams Del Mar

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
Taylor Murphy on to travel ball where he played for the Del Mar Powerhouse 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 Solana Beach 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.”
TPHS Boys Lacrosse to hold lacrosse camp in July
AJ Soares and Servando Carrasco ( SD Surf Soccer alum who was drafted earlier this year, as well. He plays for Seattle Sounders.)
TPHS alum and soccer star needs your vote
Did you ever think that a TPHS graduate could be a Major League Soccer All Star player one day? Well your vote counts now! AJ Soares, Surf Soccer Club alum, could be the first to achieve this great honor but he needs your vote now. Soares, 22, was drafted sixth overall by The New England Revolution in the January draft held by MLS. Last week 108 MLS players, six from each team, were nominated for the All Star ballot by a panel of soccer media aficionados. Fan voting will determine the first 11 members of the Team who will face Manchester United in the All Star Match at Red Bull Arena on July 27. There are three ways to vote: 1) Via text by sending the player’s last name to 22442. The Player receiving most text votes automatically earns a First XI spot! 2) Click online at www.mlssoccer.com/all-star/ballot-2011. SOARES is in the middle section of the field players about ninth down on the list. 3) Twitter voting begins June 17 and ends June 20. You can only vote once per tweet. You have to include @ MLS or #MLSAllStar and the full player’s name (with no space between his first and last name-ajsoares) or twitter handle in the tweet for the vote to be valid. Help name Soares an MLS All Star, by voting now, and voting often! You may vote as often as you like. Voting ends at 11:59 PM ET on July 5, 2011. The First XI will be announced on Sunday, July 10, likely on ESPN during halftime of the Portland-Seattle game that begins at 4 p.m. ET. The final list of 32 All-Stars (4 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 13 midfielders and 7 forwards) will be announced on MLSsoccer.com on July 25.
Austin Sonnier
CV Middle School surfer excels in first year of longboard competition Who says that longboarding is just for old guys? Carmel Valley Middle School 8th grade longboarder Austin Sonnier has the answer. In his first year of competitive longboarding, Austin won the National Scholastic Surfing Association Jr. (NSSA) Championships and qualified for the NSSA Explorer Western Regional where he finished 4th in the Open Longboard Division. Austin also finished 2nd overall in the Scholastic Surf Series (SSS) Middle School Longboard Division, and 3rd overall in the Christian Surfing Federation (CSF) Open Longboard Division. “It’s been a great season, and I am really stoked to have had so much fun competing this year,” Austin said. “My coach, Shea Roney, is an excellent mentor, and he is teaching me to have fun while also surfing at a very competitive level. What I like about longboarding is being able to do maneuvers off-the-lip while still maintaining a classic noseriding approach. It’s the best of new and classic surfing.”
NY Yankees draft Cathedral star Daniel Camarena Two-way Cathedral Catholic baseball standout Daniel Camarena was selected by the New York Yankees in the 20th round of Major League Baseball’s amateur draft on June 7.

III title and third in four years. Camarena has until the August 15 signing deadline to agree to a contract with the Yankees. — Gideon Rubin

BUMPER TO BUMPER auto column
By Dave Stall Q. John: I look forward to reading your Bumper to Bumper column each week
in the Del Mar Times. Now I have my own question. I own a 2006 Porsche Carrera S that I bought used in October 2010 with a little over 28,000 miles on it. After about four months of using it on weekends (adding only about 800 miles), the “service engine” light went on. I left it with a local Porsche dealer’s service department to diagnose and repair. As it turns out, according to them, there was a large amount of build-up on the exhaust ports — one was completely blocked. They spent a lot of time cleaning out all the carbon and, $1,300 dollars later, it was back to normal. They told me this happens when the car isn’t driven aggressively enough and said I should take it out on the freeway and open it up — full throttle — every so often. Beside the fact that I’m beyond the speed limit before I’m out of second gear, I’d never heard of anything like this. Does this sound legit or was I snookered? By the way, I only use the highest-octane gasoline when I fill up.
A. Dave:
There is some validity to their statement. My question is which brand of fuel do you use? Another question is at what RPM do you shift from first to second, second to third and so on? If you are shifting her under 4,000 RPM, that could be your culprit. Wringing it out on the freeway is not a bad thing as long as you obey the speed laws. Another option is a fun run to Julian! Cool car. Enjoy it! Drive it!
Q. Rachelle:
Would you say a motorcycle would be a good form of transportation in Del Mar? I work and live in Del Mar and in fact only drive 3.4 miles to work. The problem is, I need to be at work at 4 a.m. I drove to work the other day with all my windows down and almost froze to death, but fuel prices are killing me even more. Any suggestions on what size motorcycle and what I can do about the cold morning weather?

Manchester BU10 Academy Wins Manchester Cup Manchester Soccer Club took the championship of BU9 Flight 1 of The Manchester Cup with a 1-0 victory over South Coast Strikers (formerly, South Coast Bayern). Zahid Pinzon scored late in the second half of the hard-fought match, which was characterized by unselfish teamwork and tight defense on both sides. Goalkeeper Liam Koeneke turned in an exceptional performance that included a number of courageous saves. Sweeper Bryan Delgado was pitch perfect with his tackles, headers and passes as he repeatedly thwarted South Coast’s offense. Fullbacks George Cole and Zebastian Dimas also made strong defensive showings. In the pool games, Erik Figueroa was the leading scorer with 3 goals, while Marcos Calderon had two, and Bryan Delgado, Andrew Espinoza and Diego Gonzalez each had one. Midfielder Daniel Delgado skillfully controlled the center of the field, while fullback Jeffrey Hansen contributed to a strong defense that allowed only 1 goal over four games.
A. Dave: Handling the weather is no problem. They sell cold weather gear that will keep you toasty. The
question is, what type of motorcycle would best suit you. The best rule of thumb is find a motorcycle or scooter that fits you. Make sure you can touch the ground flat-footed and check to see that if the bike wants to tip over, you can bring it back up on its wheels. These questions can all be answered at a motorcycle training school. There is one in San Diego — go to www.BeginToRide.com or call them at (858) 874-5888. They do a good job not only training you, but also helping you pick the right bike for your situation. Another bonus is once you complete the course you will not have to take the dreaded DMV motorcycle driving test. Check them out and make sure you wear all your safety gear including a vest that glows in the dark!
Q. Dave:
I know you have been inundated with questions concerning getting better fuel mileage, so here is another one: Water injection. My grandfather said it was used a lot in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Could this system be adapted to my 2005 Dodge three-quarter ton pickup? Looking forward to your answer — I hope it is positive!
A. Dave:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but due to the sophistication of your Ram truck, there isn’t really much that can be done mechanically to your truck to help relieve your fuel pain. A couple of things you can do are leave the tailgate up or put a cover on the bed; wash and wax the truck; keep your right foot light on the gas pedal, and put your tire pressure five pounds under the maximum recommendations found on the tire side wall. There are companies trying to harness water, but so far I haven’t seen anything that gives a good return on investment — but it is out there!

North Shore’s 12U gold all-stars take 2nd in Huntington Beach The 4th annual Surf City Classic in Huntington Beach was the site of a second-place finish for the 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League. Taking on strong teams from San Diego and Orange Counties, North Shore upset number-one-seeded South Huntington Beach in the quarter-final match-up. North Shore went on to emerge victorious after facing San Diego’s Clairemont team in the semi-final round with a score of 3-0. However, the final game in the 12U gold division was dominated by North Huntington Beach, as they beat out North Shore 9-2. “Our team never stops competing,” said Kent Zapata, North Shore manager. “Throughout the weekend, the girls put on another great performance for the spectators. They are hard working, talented, and they can’t wait for the next tournament.”

CV resident to lead SD Jewish Academy Board of Directors Shari Friedman Schenk, director of marketing at the law offices of Casey Gerry Schenk Francavilla Blatt & Penfield LLP, has been named president of the board of directors of the San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA), a private independent Jewish day school in Carmel Valley which serves children from infant day care, preschool and kindergarten through grade 12. An active member of the school’s board of directors for the last five years, she will preside over a 20-member board of parents, alumni, grandparents and community members Shari Friedman for a two-year term. Schenk Schenk now has two daughters at the school, in grades five and seven, and a son who graduated in 2008. Currently, she and the board are involved in the search at SDJA for a new executive director to replace Larry Acheatel, who will soon retire after 13 years of service. Additionally, she has been involved in plans to open the SDJA’s new preschool, slated to open in the fall of 2011, and has helped raise more than $500,000 this year as co-chair for the academy’s “Every Child Campaign,” an annual fundraising drive which raises funds to provide tuition assistance for needy families and to enhance the educational experience for all students. A founding co-chair of SDJA’s Hevrat Tikkun Olam program — which organizes community service projects for students in grades K-12 — she is active in a variety of community projects and charities, both professionally and personally, among them the San Diego District Attorney Office’s Adopta-Family program. A former president of the Agency for Jewish Education, she was a board member of the United Jewish Federation’s Women’s Division for nearly ten years. She is a graduate of the Wexner Heritage Foundation program for leadership development and also served on the California Commission for Economic Development. A resident of Carmel Valley, Schenk earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Tufts University and an MBA in marketing from San Diego State University. 1. What brought you to this neighborhood?

Part-time Del Mar resident co-authors a cautionary tale Book warns of ‘Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin’ BY JOE TASH Contributor A former aide to ex-Alaska 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 proportions.” “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 tell-all 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
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. 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 dismissed 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 Photo-shopped to create a fraudulent image. The book belongs on the fiction shelves,” said Tim Crawford, a spokesman for SarahPAC, Palin’s political action committee, Ken Morris 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 from Palin saying, “pray that we win so we can all get out of this place.” Bailey said he’d also

Author, organic cooking expert to give free cooking class at fair
La Jolla Cultural Partners
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

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, “The Devil Colony,” 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 “The Devil Colony” 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 that’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 — 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 “storyteller” of the family (what my mother called “The Liar”). 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 read—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 backyard—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
polish, it goes to typesetting where a “proof” of the book is prepared, and the book undergoes one last edit. All in all, I’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, they’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 “edits letter” 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 we’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. We’re always striving to do better—whether we’re first starting out or climbing the New York Times bestsellers’ list. What unites us is that constant struggle with prose and story. And in the end, we’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 can’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 happen—and of course, I’m called out on it. The most common source of an error is when I think I know something, when I really don’t. If I’m unsure about a topic, I’ll research it fully to get it right. If I’m confident on a subject, that’s when mistakes happen. 5. When you started writing, how did you choose your genre – or did it choose you? That’s a good question. I think writers should write in a genre that they’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 didn’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

Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magicians will amaze Do you believe in magic? The 2011 San Diego County Fair, presented by Albertsons/Sav-on, is going to be loaded with sleight-ofhand artists this year. Magician Terry Godfrey has three shows every day at the stage by the tunnel in the Infield. Times are 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. Terry also will entertain at the Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Gate prior to the daily opening of the Fair. In the week before the Fair opened, Terry performed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blindfolded driveâ&#x20AC;? down Jimmy Durante Boulevard into the Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot, which was covered by a number of San Diego television stations. Robert Meigs will host â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabinet of Curiosities,â&#x20AC;? a â&#x20AC;&#x153;museum of magic,â&#x20AC;? on the Plaza Stage every day at 11:30 a. m. Godfrey and Meigs will join forces to host Abra-KidAbra, a magic camp for kids, in the Creative Youth tent in the Infield on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. At Abra-KidAbra, the two illusionists will teach magic and let the kids keep the props. Finally, on Saturday, June 25, Ring 76 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians puts on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believe in Magic,â&#x20AC;? a one-hour stage show featuring several nationally and internationally known performers.

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 month-old 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Trooper and Scrappy,â&#x20AC;? said Amanda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are so sweet, and playful and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? 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.

QUESTIONS continued from page B1 Mar that we were heading to see, but took a wrong turn and ended up in Carmel Valley. We have been here ever since! 2. What are your plans for the San Diego Jewish Academy? There are a lot of exciting things happening at SDJA. Our executive director of 13 years, Larry Acheatel, is retiring at the end of the 2011-2012 school year, so we are currently involved in a national search for a new executive director. Opening in the fall, our new preschool will offer a refreshing Reggio-inspired, Jewishly-infused approach — with a dynamic director. Our academic programs continue to shine, most recently with three of our students being recognized by the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, and our high school graduates consistently attend the finest colleges and universities in the country. Personally, my goal is to foster and nurture the warm and caring community of families at SDJA. 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the education field? I would find a way to help students learn for the sake of learning, and take the emphasis off of grades and standardized testing scores. The stress that is placed on our students to be the perfect, well-rounded student that look good on paper for college admission officers is enormous, and I really feel that the one thing that is being sacri-
ficed today is the joy of learning. Also, from a Jewish day school perspective, I would love to find a way to reduce the cost of giving children this unique values-based educational gift. Our goal at SDJA is to strive to educate all Jewish children, regardless of their family’s ability to afford the tuition. Unfortunately, in today’s economy, without a substantial endowment for tuition assistance, this goal sometimes can’t be met. This school year we awarded $1.1 million in tuition assistance for needy families, yet that still wasn’t enough. Additionally, I would love to see our school have a track for children with special needs so that we could truly educate ALL Jewish children. 4. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by my three children, Benjamin, Michaela and Sydney, and all the students at SDJA who give me hope of a bright future for our country and our world. 5. If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Because I would love to learn more about my ancestors and where I come from, I would invite my great-grandmother, Sarah, for whom I was named. Also on my list: Golda Meir, Oprah Winfrey, Katie Couric, Michelle Obama, Paul McCartney, Bono and, of course, my husband Fred, who makes every experience we share more interesting. 6. Tell us about what you are currently reading. I just finished John Fowles’ “The French Lieu-
tenant’s Woman” for a new book club that I started at SDJA for parents facilitated by the Upper School faculty. 7. Name a few of your favorite movies. “Barefoot in the Park, American President, A Beautiful Mind, Slumdog Millionaire.” 8. What haven’t you achieved in your life that you would still like to? My son Benjamin and I have always dreamed about going on the reality television show “The Amazing Race.” We are both adventurous and love to travel, and are very close. I’m hoping that when he graduates from college next year we can make this dream a reality. 9. What is your favorite vacation spot? I love sightseeing and exploring other countries and cultures. With it’s incredible scenery, great food and Italian hospitality, Italy’s Amalfi Coast, surrounded by my family, would be the perfect vacation. Fred and I were there on our honeymoon 24 years ago, and went back again for our 20th anniversary. It’s paradise. 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Tikkun Olam, the Hebrew phrase for “repairing the world.” By showing kindness to strangers and helping others, particularly those less fortunate that ourselves, each of us can make this world a better place in which to live. I teach my children about Tikkun Olam and we do community service projects together — it’s even on my license plate!

Quaint Mille Fleurs sits nestled in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe BY KELLEY CARLSON he French countryside can be found among the rolling hills of Rancho Santa Fe. 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. The entrance to the establishment is through a courtyard framed by numerous flowers. 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. The Fountain Room, which has French doors that provide views of the courtyard, is adjacent to the bar.

Several rooms in the restaurant are semi-private, decorated in blue, pink and golden hues to complement the prominently displayed Mille Fleurs, or “thousand flowers,” Delft tiles. The centerpiece in The Celebrity is the constantly crackling fireplace, while The Flower Basket has a large rectangular table and a long, cushioned seat along a wall.

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.

Corner Cupboard by Gustav Stickley
Craftsman furniture fans will flock to Stickley exhibition “Gustav Stickley & The American Arts and Crafts Movement,” the first nationally touring exhibition to focus on the artist’s career and his contributions to the history of American design and architecture, will show June 18–Sept. 11 at The San Diego Museum of Art. The collection contains furniture, metal ware and embroidered textiles, and the majority of objects come from private collections never seen by the public. Focusing on Stickley’s most creative period, 1900 to 1913, the exhibition illuminates the vibrant identity of the “Craftsman” style that Stickley developed and furthered through his wares. Stickley offered customers a complete lifestyle based on his philosophy of simple design and quality materials, a philosophy disseminated both through his magazine, “The Craftsman,” and in his stores. One of the highlights is the re-creation of the dining room first displayed in the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition organized by Stickley and exhibited in his Syracuse Craftsman Building. Other highlights include an armoire, c. 1907-1912, that Stickley kept for private use in the decades after he sold his business, and works showcasing his experimentation with different varnishes, which can still be seen as a patchwork of colors on the undersides of the drawers. Also on view is a rare armchair, c. 1903, with copper and wood inlay reflecting Stickley’s brief foray into decorated Arts and
Rose motif screen by Gustav Stickley Crafts furniture influenced by the work of progressive British and Scottish designers. In connection with the show, the Museum’s second annual Summer Salon Series continues Thursdays through Sept. 1. This year’s theme is “What a City Needs,” to reflect Stickley’s utopian vision of how to build a community. An illustrated 272-page catalogue by Kevin W. Tucker, Curator of Decorative Arts and Design at the Dallas Museum of Art accompanies the exhibition.

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 35 years has built over 15,000 homes here.

1. The Explorer Cook embodied 18th-century ideals for the pursuit of knowledge. Naturalists and artists onboard his ships collected and recorded the tropical exotica they saw, and accounts of his adventures were bestsellers in Britain. The places he visited seemed truly paradisiacal until he overstayed his welcome in Hawaii, and angry islanders put an end to his exploring.
The exhibit is installed in two parts on two of the museum’s eight historic ships: the Berkeley, a late-19th-century steam ferry, has the art, and the history goes to H.M.S. Surprise, a 1970 replica of an 18th-century 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 Australian elders, representing visions from their Dreamtime. Going below, you enter the world of Gauguin. The standout is a newlydiscovered erotic sculp-
2. The Author Melville’s tales of his Pacific adventures, sailing on whaling ships and, for awhile, “going native,” made his early books like “Typee” and “Omoo” big hits in America, though the critical reception of “Moby Dick” sank his literary career. He saw paradise being despoiled by missionaries and colonizers.

tempting 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.

Cherries: The choice of champions for a variety of reasons! The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor he sweet but short season for these ruby (and sometimes golden, burgundy/black or mottled) beauties, “the caviar of fruits,” has arrived. Pick ‘em while they’re good and plenty. Here’s a primer to help you get the most and best out of the summer of cherries.
T
In the beginning Sweet and sour versions of this stone fruit have been around since the days of Fred Flintstone. The ancient
Greeks started cultivating the sweet cherry that has blossomed into more than 1,000 varieties today. The Roman’s prized both its timber and titillating fruit, which they named after the town, Cerasus, the point of cherry export to Europe. Food folklorists claim the stony seed was probably first transported by birds to the continent, then English colonists brought sweet cherries to America around 1629. Spanish missionaries introduced them to California where it became an established cherry cultivating region in the 1800s. Cherry a day keeps doc away A close cousin to the almond, peach, apricot and plum, cherries are as divine and delicious as they are healthful. Feeling creaky, achy, tuckered out? Eat a few cherries, loaded with anthocyanins that give the fruit its intense hue and are known for alleviating the pain and swelling from arthritic joints and the gout by blocking inflammatory enzymes. The rich store of boron also
boosts bone health. A little logy? Raw cherries are a great source of fiber, like nature’s roto-rooter. Having trouble catching your zzz’s? They’re packed with the hormone melatonin that regulates circadian sleep patterns and alleviates jet lag. Low on potassium? One cup of these red beauties will amp up these levels to put the skids on hypertension and boost heart and kidney function. “Bad” cholesterol levels too high? Phytoserols in this fruit will help shrink LDL. Bugged by back pain? Tart cherries have been found to lower urate levels in the body to alleviate muscle and other aches. Cherries also contain a flavonoid called quercetin that has been found to reduce the risk factors for heart disease, especially “belly” fat. Cherry on Top The sweet Bing, Tulare, Rainier and the Royal Ann (which morphs into the maraschino) are sweet. The tart ones include the Nanking and Evans. Bright red, sour cherries have the highest levels of antioxidants and vitamins.
One tree produces about 7,000 cherries, enough to whip up a mixed fruit compote, an airy soufflé, a cherry pie, scones, biscotti, muffins, cobblers or top off a cheesecake with these glazed beauts. Make a gelato sundae with a flambéed, brandied cherry sauce. Toss them in your smoothies or drink the juice straight up. Whet your adult whistle with a cherry sling, daiquiri or amaretto cherry sour. For savory dishes, try grilled salmon with cherry drizzle, an apricot cherry chicken bake, and Mediterranean tabouli or couscous with dried cherries. Or just munch on them cold, right out of the fridge. Cherry Gazpacho At right is a multitasking, chilled summer soup — that might even help you sleep better and wake up with more limber joints. Standing advice with cherries – watch out for those pits! For additional cherry recipes, send an email to kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com

75-year-old county fair loaded with local history BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor This year marks the 75th anniversary of the San Diego County Fair’s location at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which opened to great fanfare in the fall of 1936. The county fair’s history is one that draws on local personalities and international celebrities. Yet its roots started humbly in 1880 when Frank Kimball spearheaded the firstever county fair in National City. Itinerant in its early decades, the fair was picked up by interested parties in Escondido in the late 1880s. News accounts retold how Wyatt Earp served as the equestrian judge. Exhibits were housed in a circus tent erected at Washington and Grant Streets. Admission for “grown ups” was a quarter and kids were admitted for 15 cents. Horse racing on the beach with side betting was a major attraction when the fair was held in Coronado in the Armory Hall at Fourth and Ash. Julian was reported to be a major exhibitor of

100 acres be set aside for building a racetrack. In subsequent years, Oceanside presented the fair. Media accounts had the fair being in
Escondido from 1909 through 1912 then again in Balboa Park in the 1920s. The opportunity for the fair to be located in a perma-

nent location occurred in 1933 when Proposition 33 allowed pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing. The 22nd District Agricultural Association, a dormant entity, was reactivated then for the purpose of presenting the San Diego County Fair. Governor Merriam came to Del Mar and placed a corner stone at the Mission Tower Plaza declaring the fair a major California Exposition. It became a construction project for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) with buildings designed by architects Sam and Joe Hamill, who interpreted a mission revivalstyle design. Fall dates of Oct. 8 through 18 dates were selected for the fair’s first run. It was the start of the rainy season and for most of the 11 days it poured, flooding the grounds. But the attractions were not dampened by the weather. Spanish Fiesta Girls performed in “dazzling” costumes and Bunny Dryden, world’s champion high-wire
walker went from the Midway to the Grandstand on a single wire 110 feet above the ground without a net. There was a merry-go-round and ferris wheel; a “hoochiekoochie” sideshow featured “Little Egypt” who promised to “bare all” inside a tent for a dime, with a fireworks show in front of the grandstand that ended the well attended and sunny first day. The following year the racetrack opened, and the county fair’s run was scheduled in the summer, starting the annual trend that remains today. More history on the San Diego County Fair, the racetrack, and the fairgrounds, is included in the book, Images of America: “Del Mar Fairgrounds” [Arcadia, 2008] coauthored by Diane Y. Welch, B. Paul Welch and the 22nd DAA. Meet Diane and Paul Welch at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at the Theme Exhibit Gift Shop location where they will be doing a book signing on Friday, July 1, from noon-3 p.m.

If you are selling a home or estate in Del Mar, read this... Prime Real Estate in Del Mar is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?
Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Del Mar real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.delmartimes.net searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 99 countries in March, 2011, and generated 18,519 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily foreign visitors come from the United Kingdom, Canada, India,
To reach foreign investors, be sure your agent has a well-developed marketing plan To sell your home or estate quickly and for the most money possible, a thorough marketing plan is a must. So make sure your agent’s plan includes: Q Proper “staging” of your homeand property. Q Showcasing your home or listing in the local paper—like The Times. Q Holding open houses, including
“broker previews”. Q Adding your home to the local multiple listing service so buyers and agents will see it. Q Preparing and sending brochures or well designed flyers to potential buyers. Q Using Internet advertising such as www.delmartimes.net, which attracts tens of thousands of readers monthly from 99 countries worldwide. With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
W
How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market
Australia, the Philippines, and China. Yes, the countries with the largest numbers of foreign investors, looking for Del Mar real estate. And those investors also work with local agents intimately familiar with the Del Mar market. And those agents are not only looking online, they’re reading the The Times because it has far more local Del Mar listings than any other paper in town. So to maximize your home or estate’s exposure, it’s important your agent is using a dual track: 1) showcasing your home or estate with ads on www.delmartimes.net and, 2) running ads and listings in the The Times.

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Del Mar can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. Del Mar real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Del Mar real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.
1. The site daily attracts its most unique foreign visitors from:
1. The paper is hand delivered by the US Post Office to 7,460 Del Mar homes each week.

ROLLINS continued from page B4 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 sev-
eral 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 reso-
nance, 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 nanotechnology, 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. Last-

ly (and this may seem contradictory to the last statement), 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. Who are your readers? I have fielded mail from readers as young as twelve and as old as ninety. And while my stories are more pitched as action/adventure (and hence geared more toward men), a greater share of my readers are actually women. And I think that’s because I strive my best to bring real women into the typical male adventure. The

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-thebus’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’.”
women in my books are not just arm candy for the men, nor are they damsels in distress who need saving. They are critical to the story, plus they allow me to fold in great romantic tensions. 12. 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? 13. 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 published, 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.
“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 either 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.
