DMUSD budget cuts possible The Del Mar Union School District board is considering possible reductions for its 2011-12 budget, as the district could be looking at a $3.8 million deficit. At the board’s May 25 meeting, district superintendent Jim Peabody gave the board a list of possible reductions the district may need to take in August once the board gets a clearer picture of property tax revenues and state contributions. “Some on the list would be hard, some impossible, all would be upsetting to do,” Peabody said. “But if we have to make difficult
decisions because of a lack of revenue or continued requirements for revenue from us, we have to start getting ready.” Peabody said the district has already made the decision against any teacher layoffs this year to keep the staff as intact as possible, which leaves the option of tightening up expenditures in district services. Items on the list include eliminating district cell phones, “reorganizing” library services, salary reductions, furlough days and increased class sizes. — Karen Billing
School board OKs revised lunch RFP The Del Mar Union School District board approved a new request for proposals (RFP) for the vended lunch program at its May 25 meeting. District superintendent Jim Peabody said normally the board doesn’t approve of RFPs, but in this case he
wanted to make sure everything they wanted was included. The RFP was changed to make the language less restrictive and to state that preference would be given to vendors that met the district’s healthy lunch criteria. — Karen Billing

Be sure to glance up at the light poles as you make your way along Camino Del Mar as 32 brand new street banners highlighting 10 Del Mar organizations recently have been installed. The street banners, recognizing most of the City’s non-profit organizations, such as the Del Mar Farmers Market, Del Mar Foundation and Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley, are just part of the many programs the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) provides in its commitment to the revitalization of downtown Del Mar. “Through these eye catching banners we hope to encourage and promote community identity as well as recognize the wonderful community organizations and community related events that our City has to offer,” shared DMVA president Matthew Bergman. The banners, hanging on both Camino Del Mar as well as 15th Street, serve as a colorful visual reminder
for both Del Mar residents and visitors of the many activities that take place throughout the year in downtown Del Mar such as the upcoming Summer Solstice event, October’s Taste and Art Stroll, and the Del Mar Rose Show held in April. MiresBall Brand Design, a well-respected design marketing firm created the banners with its fresh, captivating images. The banners will remain hanging throughout downtown until November when they will be replaced.

HOTEL continued from page 1 homage to the historic thoroughbred racing facility located just a few furlongs up the road. Design Line is working on behalf of owner Pacifica Host Hotels. “In keeping with the philosophy of the upscale boutique brand, we designed Del Mar’s Hotel Indigo in the spirit of this beloved, charming and eclectic seaside village,” explained Davidson. “Like Del Mar itself, the Hotel Indigo will generate buzz. It is a bit on the cutting edge, yet perched in tradition. Everyone who has ever set eyes on Del Mar has understood it for its history and its hip personality. Like the Stratford Inn that preceded it, Hotel Indigo will be a booming resort, always traditional but equally cool, hip and fresh.” Among the new features planned at the Hotel Indigo are an ocean view terrace and spacious 5,000-square-foot, two-story lobby, bistro, bar and restau-
rant. The project also includes updated pool areas and complete upgrades and renovations to all of the hotel’s guest rooms and suites. Accentuated by vibrant colors and earthy, natural textures, Davidson said the Hotel Indigo will have a resort ambiance and several specific design characteristics unique to Del Mar. According to its website, the Hotel Indigo brand is all about delivering a vibrant, engaging and genuine boutique experience that gives guests the confidence to step out and explore the local neighborhood. Each Hotel Indigo property is designed to reflect the local culture, character and geography of the surrounding area while brand hallmarks ensure consistent and reliable service from location to location. “The colorful history of Del Mar and the nearby racetrack will be part of the design at Hotel Indigo,” Davidson said. “There will be murals and mosaic tiles honoring the history of the town and the track. The
bar will even serve signature drinks in tribute to some of the track’s most famous horses.” Once completed, the Hotel Indigo’s new ocean view terrace will be available to rent for special events, receptions and parties for up to 30 people. “We think the terrace will be an appealing new spot for locals and hotel guests to watch the sunset,” Davidson said. Ongoing renovations to the Stratford are thoughtfully planned so the property remains open during construction. Construction of the ocean view terrace and the restaurant/ lounge is planned to start in September and be completed before the year ends. Project architect is Delawie Wilkes Rodrigues Barker. Already completed is a 3,000-square-foot spa and state of the art fitness center at the property. The boutique spa, called Spa Namara, which is an ancient Irish word meaning “path to the beach,” is a full-service spa on site, of-
fering a wide array of treatments including European massages, relaxing facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures and aromatherapy body wraps. Each of the spa’s five tranquil treatment rooms includes a private relaxation garden. In addition to its interior design work for the hotel, Design Line was retained by Pacifica Host Hotels to design the interiors for 10 new homes being built adjacent to the hotel site. Many of these homes are already sold, reaffirming people’s love for and interest in Del Mar, Davidson said. More information about Design Line Interiors is available at www.designlineinteriors.com or by calling 858-309-6100.

FIRE continued from page 1 was modified last year and is now expected to save the agencies $1.6 million. The recognition from the SDCTA came during their 16th annual Golden Watchdog and Golden Fleece Awards Dinner on May 19. “This ‘throwback’ Golden Watchdog Award from the Taxpayers Association
recognizes that we are at the front edge of government cost-savings,” said RSF Fire District Board Chair James Ashcraft. “We are pleased the agreement has thus far been a success, to the extent that other agencies have contacted us to see about using our arrangement as a template for similar partner-
ships.” Tom Hickerson, RSF Fire District board member, added, “Our goal is to deliver the best services possible to all members of our district. This agreement has allowed us to continue providing excellent service to our residents while saving the district money.”
Del Mar City Council Member Mark Filanc said, “This is one of the programs that truly is a win for all. The City of Del Mar is very happy with the results and it’s great to be recognized for our efforts. “The bottom-line of this agreement is that we are doing much more with
much less and that means better public safety with better fiscal responsibility. We are committed to continuing to look for ways to improve service and reduce costs.” says Encinitas City Council Member Jerome Stocks. Solana Beach City Council Member Dave Rob-
erts said, “In this day and age, we all need to do whatever we can to maximize efficiencies and save public money while providing top-notched customer service.”
BEACHES
The group’s Beach Report Card assigns letter grades to beaches based on levels of weekly bacteria pollution. No San Diego-area beaches were on Heal the Bay’s list of Top 10 “Beach Bummers,” but quite a few in the North County made the honor roll, meaning they never exceeded state bacterial standards for ocean water quality during dry weather. They included:
• in Oceanside, at Tyson and Forster streets and near the end of St. Malo Road; • in Carlsbad, at the end of Cerezo Drive and Palomar Airport Road; • in Encinitas, the pipes surf break at San Elijo State Park and north of the park’s stairs, Cardiff State Beach south of the Charthouse and Seaside State Park; • in Solana Beach, Fletch-
er Cove off Lomas Santa Fe Drive; and • in Del Mar at the end of 15th Street. Of 76 monitoring locations, 93 percent received grades of either A or B in the report during dry weather. The figure dropped to 72 percent after a rainstorm. Residents can check grades for their favorite beaches at the website beachreportcard.org.

Local resident brings Urban Girl Accessories to Del Mar Plaza BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer If you’ve been to the Del Mar Plaza in the past few weeks, you’ve likely seen the paper-covered windows nextdoor to Smashburger. The paper has now been removed, revealing downtown’s newest addition, Urban Girl Accessories. Inside you’ll find owner Annie Glenn, who is depicted in the store’s logo wearing a sunglasses and flip-flops — her “everyday uniform,” as she explains. This Carmel Valley resident is the embodiment of “fun, trendy, and kitchy style,” and her store is full of things that help her define that.
“I wanted to create a place filled with beautiful things, the kind of place where you walk in and sigh and feel immediately relaxed because it appeals to your senses,” she said. You’ll find, for example, a hearty selection of unique jewelry, like rings made from vintage buttons. And home items, such as scented soy candles. There’s also a kids’ corner, beachwear, tote bags, and bath and body products. Glenn also prides herself on philanthropic-based items, so she carries an extensive selection of TOMS shoes, which gives a pair of shoes to a child in need with each purchase. She also carries a line of jewel-

ly, it also affords these women the opportunity to make a living and provide for their children. This Del Mar store is the latest in a line of entrepre-
neurial ventures for Glenn. She and her husband Chris started their retail work many years ago with a t-shirt and hat kiosk at Seaport Village. That business soon grew into their fist store, American Nostalgia. The couple continued to steadily grow their business, adding a new store every few years. Now, two children and many years later, the couple owns three stores in Seaport Village: American Nostalgia, San Diego Surf Company, and the original Urban Girl Accessories. Glenn decided to open a second Girl Accessories store in North County after prodding from her friends and fans who wanted something
closer to home. It was during a visit to Smashburger with her children that Glenn spotted the vacant storefront in the Del Mar Plaza, and the rest, as they say, is history. “This was the perfect location for Urban Girl Accessories, and I guess I have Smashburger to thank for finding it,” she quipped. “I am so excited to be here in Del Mar and I hope everyone comes in to say hello. I would love to make Urban Girl Accessories one of their favorite places.” For more information, please visit urbangirlaccessories.com. The Del Mar Plaza is located at 1555 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, 92014.

Fighting injustice through the art of butterfly making BY MARSHA SUTTON Senior Education Reporter Butterflies are about to emerge at Del Mar Heights Elementary School where a months-long project to educate sixth-grade students about the Holocaust is underway. Stories have been written before about the Butterfly Project begun at the San Diego Jewish Academy five years ago that honors and memorializes the 1.5 million Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust. But what’s unusual about this story is that the butterflies will soon alight at a Del Mar public elementary school, the first large public school installation locally. Cheryl Price, SDJA Artist in Residence and Butterfly Project founder, said she is thrilled to have Del Mar Heights join the more than 200 butterfly memorials in cities nationwide. “It is very exciting to see what Del Mar Heights Elementary School is doing,” she said. Price works with cofounder Jan Landau and project coordinator Rebeca
Del Mar Heights sixth-graders — clockwise from bottom left, Sherrie Antoun, Caitlin Puglisi, Jaspreet Missan, Gokce Boz, Elane Moon and Tommy Merritt — paint butterflies. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING Besquin to promote Holocaust education beyond the walls of Carmel Valley’s SDJA. “At first we were keeping all the butterflies at SDJA,” Price said, noting that students at several other local schools have participated in the project and sent the ceramic butterflies to SDJA. “We changed gears three years ago to invite others to make their own memorials.
It is a better way to educate, as the kids see the butterflies each day and remember.” The ceramic butterflies are shaped from clay, and are then painted, glazed and mounted for display. The Del Mar Heights students’ butterflies will be displayed in the school’s Multi-Use Room. Price’s goal is “to reach as many children, parents, teachers and Holocaust sur-
vivors as we possibly can over the next five years so we can meet our goal of 1.5 million butterflies displayed worldwide in multiple locations,” she said. “No small feat … and every butterfly counts.” Inspired by the documentary “Paper Clips” and the poem “The Butterfly” written by a child during the Holocaust, the project is called “Zikaron V’tikvah” – Hebrew for remembrance and hope. The project asks participants to “remember the past, act responsibly in the present, and create a more peaceful future.” Wendy Wardlow, principal of Del Mar Heights, said her students are being taught historical lessons about the millions of people who were killed in the Holocaust. “It’s hard to imagine the numbers. But each one was a precious person; each one was part of a family,” she said. “Butterflies are a sign of new life. By our lives, we can honor theirs.” Resilient human spirit Wardlow came upon the
On the Web Holocaust survivor Ben Midler makes a history lesson real for Del Mar Heights students. To read the story, visit www.delmartimes.net Butterfly Project after seeking a meaningful project for her 65 outgoing sixth-graders this year that would expand their horizons and provide them with a richer education beyond the subjects they learn in school. The purpose, she said, is not just to teach about one of the darkest chapters in modern human history, but also to help students understand the need for individuals to speak out against prejudice and injustice, promote tolerance and empathy, and defend democracy. “I want our students to understand the power and the vulnerability of our democracy,” she said. “They should never take their freedom for granted.” Wardlow also hopes to transmit lessons about resilience of the human spirit. “I
also want them to understand there is hope and that they can overcome incomprehensible obstacles,” she said. Wardlow said the teachers enthusiastically embraced the project, which began months ago with films and books and included a personal visit from local Holocaust survivor Ben Midler (see sidebar) who spoke to the children about his experiences in concentration camps during World War II and how he overcame bitterness and anger and learned to look to the future with joy. Del Mar Heights sixthgrade student Elane Moon said the Holocaust speaker taught her that it’s important “not to give in to sad-

Congregation Beth Am Preschool Junior Kindergarten holds Zoozeum exhibit BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Congregation Beth Am Preschool’s Junior Kindergarten(Gesher Program) recently held its annual Zoozeum exhibit at San Diego Jewish Academy, showing off the students’ artistic interpretations of the animal kingdom. The project began in January after a visit to the San Diego Zoo. Each child picked an animal from their visit and teachers Louisa Karam, Dita Benarieh and Rimma Reytblat led them in 13 different art projects based on their chosen animal. Each project was done in a particular artist’s style—Monet’s impressionism, Picasso’s cubism and Jewish artist Marc Chagall’s stained glass (the children used clearphane paper instead of glass). The biggest art project is their paper maché animals, made from recycled containers and painted and pruned with help from their parents. “It’s definitely a family project,” said Karam. The results were spectacular: A lion with a full hairy mane; a long-legged giraffe; a fuzzy panda and a peacock with beautiful feathers; to name just a few of the 20-animal menagerie. “The children’s faces beam with pride,” said Denise Neifeld, preschool director of the young artists “They really feel a sense of accomplishment and self worth. So much self esteem is gained from this amazing adventure.” On Zoozeum night, their creations were

set up for viewing but each child also practiced public speaking, talking about where their animal comes from, what it eats and how its name is said in Hebrew. At the end of their presentation, each child presented an unknown fact about their animal. One such fact was: “Did you know after koalas eat eucalyptus their breath smells like cough drops?” The reception, of course, featured animal cookies decorated by the children.

Moores Cancer Center’s Dr. Dennis Carson stepping from leader’s role back to lab BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Dr. Dennis Carson is giving up his post as director of the renowned UCSD Moores Cancer Center, and doing anything but retiring. “It’s time for me for step down and return to the laboratory,” said Carson, who will turn 65 this year. “I have two anti-cancer drugs in development and I’ll now have a lot more time to be in the lab.” Involved in every step of the disease-treatment process, including actually making, bottling and labeling the first treatments, Carson is perhaps best known for discovering and pushing through to clinical use a novel anti-cancer agent now marketed as Leustatin. It is the therapy of choice for cancer patients with hairy cell leukemia, producing a decade or more of diseasefree remission in eight of 10 new patients, often after just a single infusion. During his career, Carson has published more than 485 peer-reviewed pa-
Dr. Dennis Carson pers and trained scores of new physician-scientists. He owns 69 patents based upon his research and has founded six biotechnology companies to pursue these discoveries. As director of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center — one of only 40 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the nation designated by the National Cancer Institute — Carson has created or supported new and innovative programs that mesh the talents and resources of academia and industry to push promising cancer treatments into clinical trials faster and more effectively. At UCSD since 1990, Carson was brought in to help recruit new faculty. He
acknowledged he’s presided over the cancer center during a formative time in its history. “When I started in 2001 the center really wasn’t comprehensive,” he said, noting that all changed with the help of John Moores, other donors and especially, the university. “Together we put up a truly unified building in 2003 to house the center and its clinicians, researchers and educators,” he said. “I think it set a (new) standard for the university.” A total of 675 people are now employed at Moores Cancer Center. “The number of patients has doubled and we’re in the top 20 in the country in National Cancer Institute grants,” added Carson. Dr. Thomas J. Kipps, a hematologist who’s worked together with Carson for 25 years, will become the acting center director while the university does an exhaustive search to find Carson’s permanent replacement. Cancer is not a single
malady but a class of diseases in which cells display uncontrolled growth invading, intruding upon and destroying adjacent tissues and sometimes spreading to other parts of the body. Carson said steady progress is being made in fighting the disease though it’s a time-consuming process. “Cancer is actually more like a 100 different diseases,” he said, adding the biggest risk factor is age, though children can get certain types. “Research is very hard,” noted Carson. “Some of the treatments are difficult.” Though cancer may never be completely “cured,” Carson foresees the disease becoming more manageable with treatment over time. “We will continue to make steady progress, though I don’t think there will be one magic bullet,” he said. “The trend in mortality is down, which I see increasing until the time when cancer will be much less a problem than it is now.”

Solana Beach rower awarded MVP Solana Beach resident and Cal Coast Academy student James Bernard (11th grade) was the top honoree recently at the San Diego Rowing Club’s annual junior banquet. James Bernard James walked away with the evening’s most sought after title of MVP. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that James has only been rowing since February. “In just three short months James has not only worked his way up to earning this distinguished compliment but he has simultaneously maintained his 4.3 GPA and demanding class schedule,” states Cal Coast Academy’s founder and principal Jan Dunning. During the entire nine-month season, junior rowers practice six days a week for two and a half hours a day. These strenuous workouts help to prepare the rowers for events such as the U.S. Rowing Southwest Junior Championship Regatta. Currently, James and his fellow crew members are gearing up for their last event of the season, the U.S. Rowing Junior Nationals Championships.
Led by former U.S. national team member Chris Callaghan, the junior rowers receive the knowledge and guidance required to endure and succeed at such challenging events. James recognizes and appreciates the level of expertise his coach holds. “Coach Callaghan has taught me the importance of teamwork, persistence, and good sportsmanship, he has challenged and encouraged me, and he has given me the physical training required to reach my maximum potential and compete in a collegiate rowing program,” James said. Although the season has almost come to an end, James will continue to glide through the waters of Mission Bay as he eagerly strives towards excellence. “James’ accomplishments both athletically and academically are a true testament to his unwavering dedication and hard work,” says Dunning. “He exemplifies the ideal definition of a well-rounded individual and he undeniably deserves this noteworthy recognition.” Cal Coast Academy is an independent grades 6-12 college preparatory school accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, approved by the University of California, and NCAA certified. To learn more about Cal Coast Academy, call 858-481-0882 or visit www.calcoastacademy. com.

ness.” Wardlow said the impact of having Midler speak to the children was profound. “I think the personal connection our students made when listening to a survivor describe such a horrific world event will remain with them into the future,” she said. “It’s critical we make connections with our students so they understand why it is important for them to learn about the events in our world history.” “No one lesson will ever be enough for our young people to understand the suffering and ability for others to turn a blind eye, but it is a start,” Price said. “The experience of hearing the survivor tell their story, standing with dignity and determination to speak for those who never had the chance to speak, is a lifechanging milestone for those in the room.” Price said students feel empowered to speak out against injustice after meeting Holocaust survivors, many of whom were their age when they were taken from their families by the Nazis and forced to suffer unimaginable atrocities. “We are so grateful when we see people of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds clutch at their hearts with compassion for the suffering that the survivor endured just for being who they were: a Jewish child born in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Price said. Wardlow said all the children “get it,” as evidenced in the moving letters each child wrote to Ben Midler (see sidebar). “And I think when they
17th Street Beach Safety Center. This means that funding for the project is close to complete, and that construction may be started as early as this September. Thanks to all our planning staff for preparing this grant application, and for the Friends of the Powerhouse for their key fundraising activities. The City has made this a top priority project and committed a total of $1,100,000 in funding, a fact that was noted with appreciation by the Coastal Conservancy Board. In a litare older, they will reflect on what they learned and get it at an even deeper level,” she said. “These lessons will provide a base of understanding to guide them throughout their lives.” Shaping America’s government Price said the Butterfly Project has been an effective tool to begin teaching children about the Holocaust, because it connects the children to history through art. “When we have an opportunity for a public school to bring the Butterfly Project and its many layers to their students, we are always moved by the genuine compassion that is generated,” Price said in an email. One critical component of the project for both Price and Wardlow is the need for students to understand their role in shaping America’s government. “We believe the students are learning that they are very lucky to be living in the U.S.A.,” Price said. “When, as at Del Mar Heights Elementary School, there is an education component such as watching the documentary ‘Paperclips’ and having long discussions about the gradual stripping away of legal rights and possessions and the idea of ‘superior’ races, the students are asked to consider how this could happen and what would they do if living in that time. A lot of soul-searching takes place.” The Heights students have already made their clay butterflies, Wardlow said, and will be painting and glazing them in the next few weeks. To prepare, each student was given a brief biography of a Holocaust child, and each student’s butterfly is dedicated to that child. “On the back of their but-
tle over a year, we should have a new, environmentally-sustainable, energy-conserving facility with much better pedestrian access, full compliance with ADA guidelines, and decent working conditions for our dedicated beach safety staff. It’s about time! But what about City Hall, an even older building that is literally crumbling around our City employees. Isn’t it time that we came together as a community to provide a safe, modern and energy-efficient place to
work for those who serve our residents? I am personally dismayed that we expect our valued City employees to work in an unsafe environment that most of us would find objectionable. We will shortly be undertaking a national search for a new City Manager — imagine their impression of Del Mar when they see our City Hall! This is a City that has accomplished so much in preserving our open space and rebuilding the Powerhouse and soon the Beach Safety Center. Where is our
Student letters After Midler’s presentation, the Del Mar Heights sixth-grade students wrote to thank him. Names have been omitted to protect the private and personal nature of the letters. Following are excerpts from a few of the more than 60 letters: “I have never appreciated living in America so much until now. Hearing about the Holocaust from an eyewitness brings everything I’ve learned about it to a whole new level.” “Thank you for taking the time to share your amazing and tragic story with us. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for you to talk about that. … I admire your courage, bravery and kindness and wish you the best in all your future. We will never forget your family that passed away in the camps and will honor them forever. You have inspired me to do great things.” “Your story left me in tears. …Your speech taught me and showed me that you never gave up, always had hope, and never lost faith.” To read more letters, visit www.delmartimes.net.
terflies, each student wrote the name of a child who was in the Holocaust,” she said. “On the front, they wrote words like ‘remember,’ ‘peace,’ ‘hope,’ ‘love.’” Sherrie Antoun’s butterfly was dedicated to a girl who was 5 when she was killed by the Nazis. “We are learning that we take our lives for granted,” said the Heights sixthgrader. Several students, during the painting of their butterflies under the supervision of Del Mar Heights art instructor Jacque Folgner, were impacted by the knowledge that Ben Midler was about their age when he was taken from his family and sent to Nazi concentration camps. They all agreed with sixth-grader Caitlin Puglisi when she said, “You can’t even imagine what he must have gone through.” Caitlin said she is learning through the Butterfly Project “to act responsibly in the present and to not be prejudiced.” “We are honored to be included in this project,” said Wardlow, who plans to make the Butterfly Project an annual sixth-grade event. “One of my goals as the principal of Del Mar Heights is for our students to be compassionate and to engage their hearts as well as their minds. While we focus on building their skills in reading, writing and mathematics, it is equally important for them to learn to think critically, to question authority, to be brave and use their voices for good.” When students have a chance to express their emotions through art by making a ceramic butterfly that memorializes a child, Price said they show the world “that this living child today has a voice and won’t stand for injustice.”
civic pride when it comes to our City Hall? Several plans for a new City Hall have been prepared, but none has been built. If the City wants to set an example to spur revitalization of the southern end of our downtown, what better project than a new City Hall with ample underground parking? Let’s get the Beach Safety Center finished, and then start working on a new City Hall. It’s past time!
Public invited to town hall-style meeting to discuss the presentation of Islam in seventhgrade history textbook An upcoming townhall-style meeting will discuss errors, according to the event hosts, in the presentation of Islam in the seventh-grade history textbook currently in use in San Dieguito Union High School District middle schools and throughout the state. Local residents James Freedman, Linda Sax and Michael Hayutin recently published an analysis of portions of the textbook, titled “World History: Medieval to Early Modern Times.” The 21-page report focuses on sections of Chapter 3 (“The Rise of Islam”) and Chapter 4 (“The Spread of Islam”) and identifies 22 points in the textbook that the three authors believe are misleading or inaccurate representations of Islam. The meeting, sponsored by Hayutin Sax and Freedman, will focus exclusively on the accuracy of the information in the textbook and will feature a panel consisting of an Islamic expert, a rabbi and a retired Marine. The meeting is open to the public and will be held on Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. Meeting will be held at the Boys and Girls Club in Solana Beach, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, 92075, in the Community Room For a copy of the 21-page report or any questions, write to asecureamerica@gmail.com.”

on third, and Sophie Ausmus at the plate, Zapata called a “suicide squeeze” to score the winning run and advance to the finals against top-ranked La Costa. La Costa entered the finals after amassing 48 runs and giving up only seven. With La Costa’s strong offense, North Shore was up for a defensive battle. Again in the last inning, North Shore was down 3-1. With two outs, North Shore scored four runs to take a two run lead with clutch hits by Ally Harvey, Kidd, and Ausmus, and a walk by Sydny Poh. North Shore had to hold La Costa to take the win, but that proved difficult when La Costa’s full roster of hitters put together three hits to score a run and put runners on second and third with two outs. With North Shore’s Lauren Scheg on the mound, La Costa hit a towering pop fly that was caught by second baseman Chase Zapata to secure the championship. Mikaila Reyes pitched three strong innings in the final game. Stellar defense by Maddie Ley, Nicole Anderson, Erin Vanderttie, and Morgan McIntyre also contributed to North Shore’s success. “Today was our day,” said manager Zapata, as he watched his team celebrate on the infield after the final out. “I’ve managed all-star teams for years and dreamed of this day. Today was our day.”

North Shore’s 12U gold all-stars battle to win Riptide Tourney The 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League battled highly competitive teams over three days to take the win in its division of the Riptide Tournament, sponsored by the Oceanside Girls Softball Association. Elite leagues from Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties participated in the first allstar tournament of the season. North Shore emerged from pool play in second place and took on Scripps Ranch to win 4-1. North Shore went on to win against Imperial Beach by one run during the most highly contested game of the tournament. Lead-off hitter Christina Bragado went three for three at bat, scoring two of North Shore’s four runs, including the game winner. “The game was a battle from the first pitch to the final out, with girls competing for every inch of the field,” said North Shore manager, Kent Zapata. “It was the most intense game I’ve been involved with. It was a playoff situation where both teams would do anything to win.” North Shore then took on Carlsbad in the semi-final round. In the last inning, North Shore was down by four runs, but battled back to tie the game at 5-5. With one out and Kennedy Kidd

Synchro swimmers earn trip to National Championships Twenty members of San Dieguito Synchro are headed to the U.S. Age Group National Synchronized Swimming Championships in Federal Way, Washington this June. They earned their berth with an impressive showing at the Southern California Regional Championships held in La Mirada, Calif. on May 21. Competing against the top synchronized swim clubs from Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Diego, San Dieguito Synchro’s 13-15-year-old and 11-12-year-old teams took silver medals. The 16-17 team took silver too, as did the club’s 16-17 soloist, Cora Kohn of Carmel Valley. This will be the third trip to the national championships for the local club, which was founded just 7 years ago and now has over 70 swimmers. Head coach Barbara Strenk is excited for her teams. “The girls set their sights on the national championships last fall and they’ve been working very hard all year toward that goal. I am very proud of their accomplishments!� San Dieguito Synchro will hold synchro summer camp again this year.

Week in Sports Baseball: On a day when Cathedral Catholic’s high-powered offense was held in check, the Dons had to rely on the arm of pitching standout Daniel Camarena. Fortunately for the Dons, Camarena happens to have one special arm. The University of San Diego-bound southpaw tossed a complete game six-hitter in a 1-0 victory over Ramona in a San Diego Section Div. III quarterfinal on May 27. The Dons, who are seeking their third title in four years, were scheduled to meet Monte Vista in the semifinals on May 31. Camarena struck out six batters and allowed one walk. His bat was a decisive factor too. The Dons scored the game’s only run in the fifth when Camarena doubled in Stephen Gonsalves. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 28-4. ***** Torrey Pines went through a play-in, experienced a first-round loss, and lived to tell about it. The Falcons took the hard road, but they advanced to the semifinals after a 12-4 loser’s bracket victory over San Pasqual on May 28. Torrey Pines was scheduled to play Grossmont in the semis on May 31, with the Falcons needing two wins to advance to the double-elimination tournament’s Div. I finals. The Falcons defeated Eastlake 10-5 in a May 24 play-in. They lost to San Pasqual 4-0 the next day, but they stayed alive by beating Mission Hills 6-3 on May 27, and then the San Pasqual playoff rematch. Morgan Oliver and Kyle Johnson each had two hits including a home run, and Jack Mitchell added a three-run homer to lead the Falcons in the San Pasqual game. Oliver and Brian Thene each had two hits to lead the Falcons in the Mission Hills game. In a surprising move in the second San Pasqual game, seldom used pitcher Sam Wisenberg made a spot start. The move paid off for the Falcons, with Wisenberg allowing one run in four innings of four-hit ball. Taylor Murphy led the Falcons offensively, going 3 for 4 with two doubles and six RBI. Garrett Stubbs had three hits including a double and a home run, and Oliver had two hits and three RBI. The Falcons improved their overall record for the season to 25-10. ***** Santa Fe Christian defeated Calvary Christian 3-1 to advance in the Div. IV quarterfinals. The victory followed a first-round 21-0 shellacking of Lutheran. Nolan Gannon struck out 14 batters and
allowed one walk and one unearned run in a complete game five-hitter to lead the Eagles in the San Pasqual game. Barrett Floyd had two hits and two RBI including a triple to lead the Eagles offensively. The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 21-6. Josh Estill had three hits including two homers and drove in six runs to lead the Eagles in the Lutheran game. Jake McKinney had two hits and four RBI and Bobby Zarubin added two hits and three RBI. The Eagles were scheduled to face San Pasqual in the semifinals of the double-elimination tournament, with San Pasqual needing to beat the Eagles twice to advance to the finals. The Eagles improved their overall record the season to 21-6. Softball: Torrey Pines was eliminated from the San Diego Section Div. I double-elimination playoffs after a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Rancho Bernardo in a May 26 game that went eight innings. The Falcons lost to Grossmont 2-1 in the first round on May 20, but stayed alive by beating Carlsbad 6-3 the next day and Eastlake 6-3 on May 24. Falcons pitching standout Rachel Nasland took the loss in the Rancho Bernardo game despite a great effort. She struck out nine batters and allowed one run on eight hits and no walks. Julia Yacker had two hits and three RBI to lead the Falcons in the Eastlake game. The Falcons concluded their season with a 23-11-1 overall mark. ***** Cathedral Catholic was eliminated from the Div. III playoffs after losing to Ramona 9-7 and University City 12-2 in May 26 games. Riley Price had three hits including a home run and two RBI to lead the Dons in the Ramona game. The Dons concluded their season with a 17-13 overall record. Golf: Torrey Pines won the San Diego Section title in decisive fashion. The Falcons shot a 737 team score in the two-day tournament at Coronado Golf Course that ended on May 26, finishing a whopping 36 strokes ahead of second-place La Jolla Country Day. Jay Hwang led the Falcons and finished third overall, shooting a combined 139 (he shot a 68 the first day, and a 71 the second day) on an 18-hole par-72 course. Michael Kim tied for sixth shooting a combined 146, and Robert Gojuangco finished tied for 12th, shooting a combined 149.

BUMPER TO BUMPER auto column
By Dave Stall Q. Bob:
I have a couple of cars that are classics but I need to store them outside due to lack of storage space. I had e-mailed you before about getting the cars ready for outside storage but since I have done what you suggested, I now found mice or rat droppings in and around the engine compartments. I read that mice and rats love the rubber insulation in the engine compartments of old cars. What would you suggest on how to protect my cars from rodents? One more thing: I have prize winning dogs and can’t afford to let them get into any sort of poison that you might suggest lying around the base of the vehicles. I value your suggestions and hope you can help me here.
A. Dave:
Not only do they like the insulation, but under the hood of a car is a better place to live than on the ground or in a pile of logs or leaves — wherever the little varmints live. You really have three choices: One, bag the car completely. There are companies that make bags you drive your vehicle inside of and secure it airtight. A little expensive, but it works. Another way is to make your own bag out of tarps, drive on top of one and drape the second tarp on top and duct tape it shut. Or, you can sprinkle rat poison on top of the engine or put the poison in little bags like the old tobacco bags and secure it to the vehicle. Constant inspection and a big burly cat would be helpful too! Good luck.
Q. Rob: My dad and I are disagreeing on a tire product that is used to keep the sides of the tire shiny. I say it is a lubricant to help extend the life of the sidewall; my dad says it is just a cosmetic effect. We both detail our tires, but our reasoning is different. What is your take on tire dressing?
A. Dave:
I hate to do this to you, but you are both right. The tire dressings out there today have a dual role. Lubricate and protect the sides from sun damage and to give the tire a new look. The main reason is protection so I guess you are more right than your dad. Scary!
Q. Roger:
My wife and I are having our 30th wedding anniversary and I would like to buy her a new car. She has some very unusual demands: No automatic transmission, no leather, no sunroof and it has to be a 2010 or 2011 Cadillac Escalade and it has to be painted yellow! I have not had the nerve to drive down to a Cadillac dealer and ask if this could be done. I did check the Internet and could not find the color or manual transmission in an Escalade, so I guess my question is, can you have a dealership order you a custom vehicle from Cadillac?
A. Dave: Now you know why there are so many different types of cars on the road today. Everyone has their own tastes. I must admit, your wife seems to walk to the tune of a different type of automotivedrum altogether! What you’re looking for is not available: Only black, blue, silver, red and white with different names. The paint and interior could be done by an aftermarket firm. As for the manual transmission…break out your checkbook. It can be done, but is it worth the price? Maybe buy a used Escalade, then you can do what you want with it and not worry about the warranty.

Dennis and Marie Green
Former NFL coach works his plan Del Mar resident Dennis Green, a former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals, has lived his life by a simple motto: “Plan your work and work your plan.” It has served him well. During the 1990s, he had the most successful coaching record in the National Football League (NFL) — and, in fact, he is one of the most successful coaches in the league’s history. Green also has the highest winning percentage in the Vikings’ 40-year history: The team’s 15-1 season in 1998 is the second best for most points in a season in NFL history. Green grew up in the inner city of Harrisburg, Penn. He lost his parents early in life, as his mother and father died by the time he was 13. He became a star halfback with the University of Iowa Hawkeyes and graduated cum laude from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in finance. As a young man he participated in athlete black power anti-segregation and anti-prejudice stands. Prior to coaching in the NFL, Green — as head coach — turned around the losing college football programs at Northwestern and Stanford universities. Throughout his career, he stayed committed to helping kids from the inner city. During every season, Green designated one day a week as “community day,” during which he and his players volunteered at churches, schools and local Boys & Girls Clubs. He has given generously of his time and money to many charities and community organizations. Green is now the head coach and general manager of the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. Green also sits on the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito Board of

Inspirational resident who lost limbs to be recognized at ‘Victories of Spirit’ event Kyla Winters hospitalized more than three months from bacterial meningitis BY CATHERINE KOLONKO Contributor Bacterial meningitis caused Kyla Winters of Carmel Valley to lose both her legs to amputation but she can walk again and still considers herself lucky. In the summer of 2009, she was with a group of friends when she suddenly felt awful and told them to get her to a hospital, quick. She recalls telling them somewhat prophetically that she was dying and that they needed to call an ambulance. She was rushed to Scripps Mercy Hospital emergency department in Hillcrest. “Within 24 hours I had kidney failure,” says Winters, 39, who relies on the memory of her twin sister to tell her story. Much of what happened for the next three months that Winters remained in the hospital is a blur. She recalls nothing of her stint in the hospital intensive care unit (ICU), partly, doctors explained, because of a condition called ICU psychosis, when the body undergoes such daily stress that the memory tends to fail. “I was in ICU four weeks,” said Winters. “I don’t remember being in the hos-
pital.” Doctors had conducted numerous tests, a CT scan, and x-rays and were fairly certain that there was no brain damage, said Liana Thomas, Winters’ twin sister who took the first flight to San Diego upon hearing of her sister’s hospitalization. “We were all worried because mentally she would be awake but kind of delirious, and meningitis often will affect the brain,” Thomas said. Doctors in the emergency department quickly administered antibiotics. One more hour without medical intervention and she might have died, says Winters, a couple hours earlier and she might now have more limbs. “You die very, very quickly,” Winters said, describing what she later learned about the disease. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord and can result from a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. Bacterial meningitis like that which Winters expe-

TPHS dance program thriving; end-of-year dance is June 11
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer There’s a new movement on the Torrey Pines High School campus and you’ll find it in the dance studio. Dressed all in black, the students there are engaged, lively and happy to be in a classroom free of desks where they can express themselves through dance. On their birthdays they have to use their bodies to spell out their names in front of the class—yes, even a “W� is possible with this crew. Last week the sea of black t-shirts was accessorized by a stream of tulle as tutus were trimmed for the big upcoming school dance show, the Expression Session. To be held on June 11 at 7 p.m. in the school gym, the year-end showcase will also feature art and film in addition to 24 choreographed dances ranging from hip hop to modern to a fun tribute to “*NSYNC.� Torrey Pines may be known more for athletics than art, but this year the dance team was among the sports teams bringing home championships. The lyrical and jazz group won the
Dance Drill Nationals in Anaheim on March 27. The dance department’s building hype and winning ways could be attributed to director Sarah Kaye, who joined the staff two years ago and has watched excitedly as she has tripled the number of students taking dance. Kaye was a professional dancer for over 20 years, dancing modern and ballet locally with McCaleb Dance in La Jolla and the Mojalet Dance Collective. She retired in 2006, her body tired from years of fulfilling her childhood dream. After Kaye was hired on as a guest artist at Canyon Crest Academy, she realized she really enjoyed the experience of teaching dance so she went back to school to get her teaching credential, finally landing at Torrey Pines. “I love it here, I couldn’t be happier,� Kaye said of her duties teaching “dance PE� and dance teams. Kaye has worked hard to incorporate modern dance and new forms of movement into the curriculum. At first the students resisted, it took

chael Langford, a professional in hip hop, modern and jazz, who also runs his own dance company in San Diego called On the Edge Dance Company. Langford handles the hip hop, getting students to pop, lock and do work. The dance department also has a 10-member hip hop crew—“We have bboys!� Kaye exclaimed in amazement, referencing their talented and very popular break dancers. “That’s why I love it here, it’s just so exciting.� The small jazz and lyrical group was the one that made school history at the Dance Drill Nationals, bringing the huge first place trophy and the judge’s award of excellence back to the Torrey Pines studio. “They’re the dream team,� said Kaye. The team includes Tara Aftahi, Caylee Shimizu, Madison Tencer, Alyssa Wright, Kelsey Richards, Perry Katz and Janelle Wen—seven girls, all best friends who are drama free and committed to dance, Kaye said. At the competition they performed two award-win-
ning routines, winning first place in lyrical with an emotional routine that “makes you cry it’s so beautiful,� Kaye said. They won third place in jazz performing the “Witches of Oz,� a modern, funky piece with Dorothy twisting through a tornado of six wicked witches. The girls all broke down in tears when they won the competition. “This year has been my favorite part of all four years of dance,� said senior Kelsey Richards. “It was really satisfying to win after four years of a lot of pain and suffering,� Both routines will be performed at the “Expression Session,� giving the audience a little peek at the new movement at Torrey Pines. “I want to show the routines off,� said Kelsey, who is headed to Notre Dame in the fall. “I’m really excited to do them again because I want the entire school to see them.� Tickets cost $5.

It’s En Fuego for south-of-the-border flavors in Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON ooking to spice up your afternoon or evening? En Fuego Cantina & Grill, which means “on fire” in Spanish, is a hot spot in town, often attracting large parties and hosting daily happy hours. This two-level establishment offers several seating areas for guests to casually enjoy Mexican dishes, seafood and drinks. Upstairs, which is street-level, is “La Tienda,” a chili pepper red-colored room that was the site of Del Mar’s first restaurant. Now the home of En Fuego’s wine bar, La Tienda is decorated with Mexican artwork handpicked by owner John Wingate, including religious symbols and mirrors. The wine bar is adjacent to a covered, open-air Guests kick back at the downstairs bar at sidewalk cafe, with heat lamps and flags in En Fuego Cantina & Grill. various colors hanging from the rafters. The tables are bathed in yellow-hued light, and feature flower centerpieces in Patrón bottles. Head down one of two staircases to reach the bar and the outdoor patio. Red and green chairs hug the U-shaped bar, and multicolored tables line the patio’s perimeter. Walk under a nearby arch and breathe in night-blooming jasmine — there’s another seating area that is shady and colorful, with bougainvillea and additional flags overhead. Private dining is available for up to a dozen guests, and parties with a maximum of 200 people can be accommodated, Wingate said. Live music can be heard twice a week — Michael Tiernan and Friends play acoustic music at 7 p.m. Borracho Shrimp with rice and ranchero beans Wednesdays, and there’s also “Spanish music Sundays” on tap.

And each month the establishment works with a charity and will often hold a celebrity bartender night, in which 10 percent of sales go to the organization. Some charities may opt for an evening where they can receive a percentage of proceeds from menu items ordered, or they may earn $1 from each sale of a specially created mixed drink for the entire month. To make the most of the En Fuego experience, Wingate recommends that guests enter La Tienda, sample some wine, make a selection, and then choose food dishes based on their decision. “Taco Tuesdays and Wine Wednesdays are both home runs” as well, he said. En Fuego’s food can also be enjoyed outside the restaurant with catering Pan-seared halibut with fresh asparagus and around the Del Mar area, chipotle mashed potatoes and takeout is available.

TPHS Visual and Performing Arts Week What were previously only two days of “VPA Day” and “For Art’s Sake,” is now an entire week for the 2,600-plus students and staff of the Torrey Pines High School community who are celebrating the arts. Kicking off the week prior to Memorial Day they had the opportunity to experience and repeat the word “WOW” over and over as an impressive number of visual and performing arts students of this talented student body strutted their stuff under the direction of a diverse but incredibly talented group of teachers. On Tuesday, May 24, the visual artists held an opening reception in the magically transformed gallery space of what is normally the aging and tired Fine Arts building
classrooms. The “For Art’s Sake” exhibit showcased artwork throughout the week from more than 200 student artists with proceeds from sales enriching the visual arts program. On Thursday the talented performing artists of award-winning dancers, musicians, singers and actors packed the Torrey Pines gymnasium for three energetic shows throughout the day. This ASB, staff, and artists’ collaboration to present such an amazing level of entertainment took months to pull together. With limited resources but no limit to talent the week of April 24-27 was serendipitous and appreciated by everyone who had the privilege of experiencing this growing community of exceptional talent at Torrey Pines High School.

A handshake with Lindbergh led to Dale Myers landing people on the moon BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor For Dale Myers, it was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;electrifyingâ&#x20AC;? moment. He was 5 at the time. His father, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who was not a pushy guy,â&#x20AC;? caught up in the moment, pushed him through a crowd at the Kansas City Municipal Airport to meet Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest hero, not a singing sensation or even a movie star, but a 25-year-old aviator named Charles Lindbergh. Big mistake on his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part, Myers recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father was a doctor. His two brothers were doctors and my older brother had committed to become a doctor. And my dad was just waiting for the time he could con me into becoming a doctor.â&#x20AC;? But it was 1927 and Lindbergh had recently completed the first solo nonstop trans-Atlantic flight in a San Diego custom-built Ryan single-engine monoplane, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spirit of St. Louis,â&#x20AC;? from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France, 3,610 miles, in 33 hours and 30 minutes. When Lindbergh returned to the States, the government had commissioned him to barnstorm across the country to inspire
young people about aviation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I shook hands with Charles Lindbergh, and, oh, boy, that did it. I went home and started building model airplanes, and eventually learned everything I could about airplanes and science. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to do anything about medicine. I was going to get into the airplane business.â&#x20AC;? For Dale Myers it was that handshake that changed the direction of his life and led him to become a major participant in and contributor to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visionary Apollo manned spaceflights that not only landed the first humans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the moon in 1969, but in five subsequent Apollo missions, the last in 1972, landed another 10 astronauts on the moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powdery, rockstrewn surface. Put into perspective, those six Apollo spaceflights have, to this date, marked the only times that humans have landed on another celestial body in our galaxy. We interviewed Myers, now 89 and living locally. His wife of 66 years passed away 18 months ago.

its future challenges. Myers is a slightly-built man with a darkened left lens on his glasses. In his younger days, he used to wear a black patch after a car crashed into him and his brand new Porsche Sportster in 1960, causing the loss of one eye and almost taking his life. His neatly-appointed office is filled with framed and signed photos of his astronaut and engineer friends and models of space vehicles and other aircraft he worked on during a 37-year career as an aeronautical engineer with North American-Rockwell and as an executive with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). He also served for two years as Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy under the Carter Administration â&#x20AC;&#x153;even though I told the President I was a Republican and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with his energy policies. But when the President calls...â&#x20AC;? On his desk is a small handbook of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Another President who called him was Ronald Reagan who asked him to leave his job as head of an engineering group in Pasadena to return to NASA as deputy administrator after a fire aboard the space shuttle Challenger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; due to an ORing failure on the right solid rocket booster shortly after liftoff on January 28, 1986 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; took the lives of all seven astronauts aboard. Myers had previously served as associate administrator of NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manned space flight program, including the shuttle development, from 1970 to 1974. Reagan asked Myers to help restore morale at NASA following the 1986 tragedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my last real job before retiring in 1989,â&#x20AC;? he said.
Myers was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1922. Setting his sights on getting a degree in aeronautical engineering, he enrolled at the University of Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of a hard time, 1939, when I went to college, and my dad wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to pay my way through school so I had to pay my own way and ended up getting a job at the University of Washington in their wonderful wind tunnel. It was probably the top testing wind tunnel in the country,â&#x20AC;? In preparation for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible entry into World War II, airplane manufacturers were bringing models of their aircrafts to the wind tunnel for aerodynamic testing â&#x20AC;&#x153;In those days, the students would run the wind tunnel, do all the maintenance on it and invent new ways to do the testing,â&#x20AC;? Myers recalled. One of the companies that impressed Myers was North American Aviation and one of the models he tested for North American eventually became the P-51 Mustang of World War II fame. After earning his B.S. in aeronautical engineering in 1943, Myers joined North American Aviation in Los Angeles â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it turned out to be a good choice.â&#x20AC;? He soon found himself working to solve a problem that had developed in the P51D Mustangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vertical tail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the pilot would kick hard rudder, the vertical tail would stall and the plane would go into an inverted spin that was very difficult to get out of. Some did, but some didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Myers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first job I had as an aerodynamicist at North American was to figure out what to do about that,â&#x20AC;? he
said. He designed an aerodynamic â&#x20AC;&#x153;wedgeâ&#x20AC;? for the front base of the vertical tail where it is joined to the fuselage that solved the problem and was incorporated into the design of new planes within four months and added to existing P-51s as a kit. The new, improved P51D went on to become the favorite long-range bomber escort of WWII with a range of 1,650 miles, a max speed of 437 mph and a top cruising speed of 362 mph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That gave me a leg up at North American,â&#x20AC;? Myers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and started me on a nice career with them.â&#x20AC;? When the military required an even longer range fighter to escort B-29s on bomber missions to Japan, North American came up with the idea of essentially joining two Mustangs together to create the F-82 Twin Mustang and Myers was assigned as the project aerodynamicist. Towards the end of WWII in Europe, Myers was given copies of captured German microfilm to study that revealed designs of swept-wing planes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in the middle of building our first jet airplane for the Air Force. It had a straight wing, as did a jet that we had developed for the Navy. Another guy and I went to management and suggested using a sweptwing design.â&#x20AC;? The result was the F-86 Sabre Fighter swept-wing jet fighter that started flying in 1946 and gained air superiority in the Korean War with 757 air victories to 103 losses. During the mid-1950s and into the 1960s, Myers became a vice president and program manager with North American and worked

rienced is a respiratory condition that is acutely life threatening. Also known as meningococcemia, symptoms include high fever, headaches, a rash, and stiffness in the neck. Winters learned later that she caught the meningitis strain from another person. “You catch it like a cold,” she said. “I was run down. I’m sort of a workaholic.” Winters was hospitalized for more than three months. Before turning the corner to recovery, her blood pressure plummeted several times and she suffered three cardiac arrests and respiratory and kidney failure, resulting in amputation of both legs and all fingers. She was dying from the meningitis and doctors at one point gave her less than 10 percent chance of survival, she said. The effects of meningitis left her legs, fingers and thumbs septic with disease that ultimately required amputation. Winters giggles slightly and explains that she has gross photos of her blackened limbs before they were amputated in October of 2009. “Basically all the blood rushes to your organs to try to save your life,” she said. She has since had several operations to stretch skin and sculpt what is left of her hands in a way that allows her to grasp objects. A metal plate implanted in her hand serves somewhat like the thumb that was amputated. “It gives me my functionality because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to pick things up,” said Winters, demonstrating how it works by lifting a prosthetic leg that she has just removed in order to sit more comfortably. More operations on her hands are planned using bolts that will have to be turned six times a day in order to lengthen the bone. In the meantime, she is learning new ways to do things without fingers. After her hospitalization, Winters devoted months to rehabilitation at Vibra Hospital and Sharp Hospital and Rehabilitation where she learned how to use her new prosthetic legs and reshaped, fingerless hands. Her cour-
June 2, 2011 age to overcome adversity will be recognized by Sharp HealthCare Foundation during its annual Victories of Spirit event on June 3. She is among five people to receive the Eagle Spirit Award that symbolizes the Navajo sign of the most potent healing power. “We celebrate not only their amazing stories but celebrate their commitment to giving back to the community to benefit others,” Sharp’s System Director of Rehabilitation Services David Brown said in a news release. The most challenging moments of Winters’ rehabilitation happened when she tried to stand for the first time. At first she was afraid to try to stand using prosthetic legs. Her doctors were concerned about her progress because the process from standing to walking is usually gradual, she said. “It took me a while to get to the standing position but then when I was able to stand, I pretty much started walking right away,” Winters said. “So at first they were like ‘what’s taking her so long.’ Then I was immediately walking and they were surprised by that.” Winters has set a goal to return in a year to her position as chief development officer for the Alpha Project for the Homeless, where she worked for the past 13 years. While on disability leave, she volunteers as often as possible for the Alpha Project and mentors people like herself who have lost limbs to amputation. Her rehabilitation has been helped along by others without limbs who she met on a web site where they share tips about how to function as amputees. She learned to place colorful, sticky plastic flags like
those used for documents on her credit cards to make it easier to pull them from her wallet or an ATM machine. And when she first started driving a car again, it was friends at the web site that informed her that she did not have to use special equipment just because she wears prosthetics. Winters’ twin sister, husband and children moved from Alameda to
“I’m so lucky to have a twin. I don’t look like I’m lucky but I am. Not a lot of people survive bacterial meningitis and most of them don’t have identical twins.” San Diego to help with her recovery. From the beginning, Liana played a major role in her rehabilitation and wanted to do everything possible to help, including donate limbs if necessary, Winters said. Ultimately, she donated a kidney that was transplanted into Winters’ body in the fall of 2010, allowing her to finally come off kidney dialysis. Initially, her sister was pregnant with her second child and therefore unable to donate a kidney right away. So Winters endured 10 hours of daily dialysis for a year while waiting for
the right time for the transplant. Liana and her 4-year-old son kept the dialysis machine operating with daily changes in liquids to keep it running smoothly. “My nephew helped,” Winters said. “He knew what buttons to push.” “It was pretty uncomfortable,” she recalled about life during dialysis. “I’m so glad to be off it.” Whenever possible, Winters likes to encourage people to learn about the meningitis vaccine and to consider being an organ donor. She says she is living proof that organ donation saves lives. She is also fortunate that because her kidney came from her twin she does not require as much immunosuppressant medication to prevent her body from rejecting her new organ. Winters is excited about the next step in her rehabilitation which will include learning to walk with a different set of legs that can accommodate high heels. While she views herself as a tough and committed fighter for better lives for people who are homeless, she also has another side to her personality that has always loved heels, lip gloss, and being feminine. Before her illness, people teased her about why she drove such a “junky
car” and she often replied it was because she liked her shoes, joked Winters. She liked them so much, that the twins now laugh at Liana’s initial reaction to hearing the word amputation because her first thoughts were how devastated her sister would be if she could no longer wear high heels. Other changes that Winters has had to adjust to include temporarily giving up her beloved pet greyhound Diego. She looks forward to the day they can be reunited but for now he lives with a friend because she is un-

able to take him for daily walks. She is still getting used to living without her natural legs and sometimes falls because she forgets she doesn’t have them. Despite her setbacks and the challenges ahead, she is grateful for the love of family and looks at life as she did before her medical ordeal, with hope and optimism, she said. “I’m so lucky to have a twin. I don’t look like I’m lucky but I am. Not a lot of people survive bacterial meningitis and most of them don’t have identical twins.”

Solana Beach painter to hold home exhibit before his art is sent overseas BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer A cheery yellow house with a white picket fence sits at the corner of Fresca Court. A path lined with blooming flowerbeds leads you inside, to a sunlit foyer filled with art. The paintings on these walls share the storybook-like quality of the home in which they are hung. One painting, for example, depicts a quaint village on a riverbank, while another shows a dirt road winding into a picturesque countryside. The trained eye would quickly recognize these as textbook examples of Impressionist paintings, and one might take them to be the works of greats such as Monet, Pissarro or Sisley. These paintings, however, are the work of John Modesitt, the owner of this Solana Beach home. Modesitt has spent decades studying Impressionism, and now 40 years later, his work hangs on walls across the world, including the Butler Institute of American Art Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art, and the auction rooms of Christie’s in London and Paris. Modesitt recently spent a few months on the shores of the Loire River in Amboise, France, where he finished a collection of 30 paintings. These works will soon be shipped off to public and private collections overseas, but before they leave Solana Beach, Modesitt is inviting the community to
John Modesitt painting in France. come view the collection. “These are all paintings of places I like to be,” Modesitt said gazing at one painting of a lush riverbank with a small boat in the distance. “That boat was there for just a few moments,” he said pointing to it. “I remember I had to quickly capture it in the painting before it sailed away. Each one of these paintings has a story behind it.” Modesitt hopes to share those stories with anyone who is interested in hearing them during his monthlong home exhibition. “I see this as a chance to build a sense of community, because neighbors should know each other,”
“ Rediscover your North Coastal Dream Home” ...See the beauty and brighten up your home!
he said. “Part of the joy of art is showing it, and being able to talk about it.” And when it comes to talking about Impressionism, Modesitt is your man. He discovered a passion for it when he was just 12 years old, thanks in part to his father, who worked as a nuclear physicist but was “simply fascinated” by art and therefore had a stellar collection in the home. It was, in fact, his father’s poster collection of French Impressionist paintings that planted the seed for Modesitt’s career. “I just knew I was born to be an artist. I couldn’t get it out my head. It was like ‘give me the brush, give me the paint.’ It was
that clear to me.” Modesitt started studying art at Santa Barbara City College under painter Robert Frame, and by the early ‘80s he moved to New York City, where he soon became disenchanted with the domination of modern art in the galleries and non-disciplined approach to painting. Modesitt elected to go against the grain, dedicating several years to the Renaissance practice of copying the artwork of masters. He spent days at a time copying artworks at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Art Institute of Chicago, learning about the work of great Impressionist painters literally stroke by stroke. Though it was a painstaking process, it was critical for him to learn true Impressionism, which is so uncommon in today’s art world that Modesitt has been the only living artist in some shows. “I wasn’t given much talent but I was given a tremendous amount of passion. It made for a torturous journey,” Modesitt said of his 40 years as an artist. There were bouts of burnout, and years he wanted to put down the brush for good. But he kept returning to the easel, often times thanks to encouragement from his wife Toshiko, whom he met while working as a glassblower to pay the bills in New York City. Modesitt and his wife have lived for more than 20 years in Solana Beach, where they have raised

Modesitt ‘Boats on the Loire’ their daughter, who is now attending Torrey Pines High School. When he’s not walking his dogs around Solana Cirlce, Modesitt is likely walking the back-country of France, where he keeps a studio. Modesitt retreats there to paint, which he jokingly calls “going into monk mode.” “When I’m out there painting, it consumes me. It’s trancelike. I will put in 17-hour days that feel like an hour. I camp out with my materials, and as long as I have enough energy and baguette, I keep going.” Modesitt said it’s especially easy to fall into his “monk mode” in the remote reaches of France, where inspiration is nearly everywhere you look. The village he most recently lived in was built in the year 509 and is unspoiled by modern time, making it a paradise for an Impressionist painter. Impression-
ism is all about idealism, or “as a child would say, ‘it looks like Disneyland.’” For that reason, you won’t find any cars in Modesitt’s paintings, but you will find castles. It’s this fairytale quality that first captured Modesitt’s heart when he was 12, and it’s what has fueled his passion all these years. “Why Impressionism? Because it’s a different world, and that’s where I want to be. If I never sold anything, I’d be happy because what matters is that I’m doing what I meant to do.” If you are interested in viewing Modesitt’s latest collection at his home, please contact him by calling 858-232-8906 or email him at paintings@sbcglobal.net.

Accomplished TPHS senior among Don Diego scholarship winners The Don Diego Fund has awarded $5,000 college scholarships to four outstanding, college-bound, San Diego County high school seniors. The Fund annually provides scholarships to youth who have been associated with activities at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and who plan to pursue higher education. Each $5,000 scholarship is awarded to a student in one of four categories, This year’s recipients/categories are: Katelyn O’Brian, FFA; Brett Huff, 4H, Daniel Menno, employee; and TPHS senior Prithvi Undavalli, exhibitor. The students will be recognized at The Don Diego Fund’s Doobie Brothers Dinner and Concert Gala taking place at the San Diego County Fair on June 21, 2011. Ticket packages are still available at several levels, including individual tickets for $150. For details, see www.dondiegofund.org. Prithvi Undavalli A selection committee comprised of Don Diego Board members chose the winning recipients after conducting panel interviews with impressive finalists culled from dozens of applicants. Executive Director Chana Mannen states, “The selection process is rigorous, comprehensive and competitive. Prospective recipients are evaluated based on many criteria, including academics, school activities, community service and motivation to succeed. Each year’s group is extraordinary and each student is so deserving; the Don Diego Class of 2011 is certainly no exception. Their schools, talents and fields of interest vary, but these four students share a passion for excellence and a wholehearted focus on their future.” Step aside, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg: the new generation has arrived in the person of TPHS senior Prithvi Undavalli, whose computer work already has gone beyond what UCSD Assistant Professor Ross Walker says he has witnessed “of some top PhD candidates.” In addition to earning accolades such as “brilliant,” a “natural leader” and a “fast learner,” Prithvi is a successful entrepreneur who is creator-CEO of T-Tek Computer Repair. He traces his interest in technology to a broken cellphone that he took apart as a young child. He combines this interest with a compassion for the less fortunate and has developed what he says is “a new wireless transmission infrastructure for FM communications devices that could be utilized in underdeveloped countries to transmit vital information.” Upon graduating from Torrey Pines High with a 3.98 GPA, Prithvi will take his considerable talents to MIT.

Saint Therese of Carmel and Notre Dame Academy to present ‘Joseph — The Prince of Dreams’ June 5 The Saint Therese of Carmel parish and Notre Dame Academy will present a play, “Joseph — The Prince of Dreams,” on Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. in the Parish Hall. This is the epic tale of Joseph, who, as depicted in more than a dozen chapters of the book of Genesis, is chosen by God to save his people from famine. Although his jealous brothers conspire against him, and sell him to the Egyptians as a slave, Joseph triumphs through his ability to interpret dreams for the Pharaoh. The whole family will enjoy the songs of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber with the charming set design by Michelle Abrams and Tinka Peterka with inventive costumes by Chickie Moore. Joeseph is played by Tony Krzmarzick. The narrator is Joy Marsella with the Pharaoh portrayed by Jack Breitenbecher. A great supporting cast with choreography by Gregory Moody and accompanist Bob Infantino make for a thoroughly enjoyable show. The parish hall is located at 4355 Del Mar Trails Rd. in Carmel Valley. Admission to this event is free. There will be refreshments and arts and crafts after the show. All are welcome.

‘Natural High’ contest winners have their work touted online Canyon Crest Academy student Sam Cook, 17, said he “gets high” from “cooking deliciously scrumptious meals.” Playing 12 different instruments sends Oregon student Emily Grether, 13, into a state of bliss. With his love of swimming, New York student Pau Vilchez, 16, aspires to beat Michael Phelps one day. Aside from being exceptionally driven, these teens have something else in common. They’ve all made a choice to pursue their passions over using drugs, a reflection of the message in the 2011 Natural High Contest. And these teens are three of the six national winners. The winning video in the high school category was a group entry belonging to Sam Cook, Jack Parzaile and Brica Lampe from Canyon Crest Academy. The contest asked youths to express via video, picture or essay, their Natural High and how using drugs and alcohol could keep them from pursuing it to the fullest. The contest was promoted in schools, on naturalhigh,org, and Facebook and YouTube for a shot at winning $250. To view the winning entries visit www.naturalhigh.org/contest.html.

What to eat: That is the question for seasonal allergy sufferers The Kitchen Shrink BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor This time of year 1 in every 5 of us is clobbered with itchy eyes, a runny nose, nasal congestion, a scratchy gullet, and serial sneezing – gazuntite! Seasonal allergies, aka hay fever or rhinitis (roughly translated from the Latin for “rhinoceros nose”) is caused by fraternizing with assorted pollens from birch tree and grass to ragweed and alder that come out full boar in the spring. These pesky allergies can be lessened by amping up certain foods and cutting out others. Here’s a blow by blow on what to eat and what to delete to get through this blooming season. The Big Buzz Allergy gurus recom-

on cruise missiles. In 1957, the Russians launched Sputnik 1, the first of a series of earth-orbiting artificial satellites that ignited the Cold War Space Race. “And that was the next big stimulus for me,” Myers said. The U.S. countered in 1961 with McDonnell Douglas building a Mercury capsule that carried astronaut Allan Sheppard into space “sub-orbitally,” which meant he got into space but didn’t orbit the earth in space. A month later, the Russians countered by sending astronaut Yuri Gagarin into space for one orbit around the earth.
Land of Milk and Mucous According to the folks at the venerable Mayo Clinic, “while drinking milk does not cause your body to make more phlegm
(mucous), it may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be.” So when allergy symptoms strike, go easy on the yoghurt and pizza. And if eggs also aggravate your allergies, standing advice, as always – moderation. Your Stinky Friend Garlic by any other name (such as “Stinky Rose”) is just as fabulous a shield against viruses, bacteria, inflammation, hypertension (it’s a natural blood-thinner), and even the occasional vampire. Raw garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound with immune boosting properties that has also been linked to warding off seasonal allergy symptoms. ABCs on Vitamins B and C Studies have shown that taking C and B vitamins, particularly B-12, may lessen hay fever symptoms by lightening up stress and boosting the immune system so it operates
“It demonstrated to the world that the Russians had more power in their boosters than we had,” Myers said. That’s when newlyelected President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress and announced the national goal of “landing a man on the moon” by the end of the decade. North American-Rockwell won the contracts for building second stage and the engines for all three stages of the Saturn 5 rocket booster and later in 1961 for the Apollo Command and Service Modules. The Apollo project manager from North American-Rockwell and the project manager from NASA in Houston, Myers said, couldn’t get along. “They yelled at each other and had
a terrible time, partly because NASA didn’t know how they were going to go the moon. They didn’t know whether they were going to go directly to the moon and land the third stage or go by doing a lunar orbital rendezvous which we actually ended up doing. That was settled in late 1962, early 1963.” Both program managers were replaced and, in 1964, for North American-Rockwell, Myers was appointed project manager for the building of the Apollo Command Module and for the lunar-landing Service Module. On Jan. 27, 1967, tragedy struck when astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were killed in a cabin fire that broke out in the com-
mend eating locallysourced honey (preferably organic) to keep seasonal symptoms at bay. Multitasking pollen both triggers seasonal allergies and is made into honey by bees. By some weird and wonderful reason, when local honey is ingested it seems to put the skids on symptoms for many sufferers. Since this close-tohome elixir contains the same pollen spores as the flowering plants and grasses that caused the very allergic reaction to the hay fever sufferer, the current theory explains that it works like a homeopathic vaccination, producing antibodies to fend off the invader. Of course, honey is taboo for young children, whose immature immune systems cannot fend off the bacteria, making them vulnerable to infant botulism.

at optimum capacity. Bolster your B-12s with a dollop of caviar on rye toast; add color and class to a frittata or pizza, pasta dishes or buckwheat blinis. Octopus has a motherload of B-12, when enjoyed in Japanese, Mediterranean and Hawaiian dishes. Do a tentacle stirfry, seafood cocktail or cioppino with other omega-3 powerhouses like wild caught salmon, cod and bluefish. Crab and lobster, other sea treasures rich in Bs, are divine steamed, broiled or in a bisque or salad. And if
you’re a diehard carnivore, do lamb in a ragu over egg noodles or braised with root veggies. As for rich sources of Vitamin C, load up on apricots, green and red peppers, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Full of Vinegar A home remedy for relieving allergy symptoms is a good ol’ glass of apple cider vinegar diluted with spring water. This can be warm or chilled, taken as a daily tonic or when allergies rear their ugly heads. The Evil Cousin About 25 percent of seasonal allergy sufferers are also plagued with oral allergy syndrome characterized by itchiness, tingling or swelling of the mouth and lips. Allergies to specific pollens create cross-reactions to certain foods such as fruits, veggies and nuts. So allergics who react to grass pollen may also react when eating peaches, celery, watermelon, tomatoes and oranges. If ragweed is the culprit, watch out for
cantaloupe, cucumber, chamomile tea and sunflower seeds. And for alder pollen allergies, be cautious of apples, almonds, peaches, cherries and hazelnuts. For some, just cooking or peeling the fruits and veggies may diffuse oral allergy symptoms. In any event, if you suspect sensitivities, it’s best to see an allergist and get tested. Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce *** This easy, breezy dressing might also ward off hay fever.
mand module of Apollo 1 during a preflight test at Cape Canaveral in preparation for what was to have been the first crewed Apollo earth-orbiting test flight scheduled for Feb. 21. An investigation concluded that the most likely cause of the fire was a short circuit in a bundle of wires to the left and just in front of Command Pilot Grissom’s seat. “When we had that fire in 1967, many people thought we could not make our goal [of landing a man on the moon] by the end of the decade. It took 21 months to redesign the command module to make it safe. I say that because North American had originally proposed to have the
hatch open outward … We thought opening outward was the best way to do it. NASA directed us in writing to have the hatch open inward.” In the fire, Grissom was unable to open the inwardopening hatch. “We spent 21 months redesigning to go back to our version which was the outward-opening hatch, to change the oxygen (supply) so it contained a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen so that if there were a fire it would not be near as powerful and we took out aluminum tubes that had flammable liquids in them and replaced them with stainless steel tubes because the fire was so intense it melted the aluminum tubes.”
Despite the setback of 1967 tragedy, the Apollo program resumed and on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 successfully lifted off on its way to land the first men on the moon on July 20 and to establish its place in world history. The entire journey to the moon and back took 195 hours, 18 minutes, 35 seconds. Myers viewed the launch from the operations room with the senior management of NASA and then flew to NASA Mission Control in Houston, Texas, to monitor the remainder of the flight. “The day they made it to the moon was fantastic,” Myers recalled. “By that time, it was the most important day of my life.”

Sampson California Realty to hold real estate seminar about investing and retiring in Mexico Joseph and Diane Sampson, owners of Sampson California Realty, will host a seminar on investing and retiring in Mexico, specifically BAJA – Rosarito – Ensenada. Joseph and Diane Sampson, long time real estate brokers in Carmel Valley, just returned from a real estate business trip to BAJA in May of this year. Having toured the numerous projects that have been completed in BAJA and those that are well underway it became very clear that the opportunity to invest or retire in Mexico was once again something to give serious consideration. The event’s keynote speaker will be Richard Kiy, a noted expert on the subject of Mexico, who has co-authored a must-read document on “U.S. retirement trends in Mexican coastal communities” through the International Community Foundation. The seminar will be educational and fun complete, with Mexican food and drinks compliments of the BAJA Real Estate group. The seminar will be held at: Sampson California Realty, 12702 Via Cortina #101, Del Mar, CA 92014, on Thursday, June 9, from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. A follow up bus tour will take place on June 18, leaving San Diego at 9 am.

Bryson chairs Easter Basket Event for Salvation Army’s Door of Hope Ellen Bryson, of Coldwell Banker Del Mar, celebrated the 5th Annual Easter Basket Event, an annual event hosted by the Salvation Army’s Door of Hope. Bryson, in coordination with her La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, sponsored the event and provided the funds necessary to make over 30 Easter baskets for families served by the Door of Hope. The Salvation Army’s Door of Hope houses The Haven and the Transitional Living Center. These social services programs are dedicated to providing assistance for unwed pregnant teens and serves as a shelter for mothers and their children seeking guidance and protection for domestically abusive situations. “Every child deserves an Easter basket and it was my great pleasure to serve as a chairperson on behalf of the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club to provide these families in need with a small token of hope during a challenging time of their lives,” said Bryson. Ellen Bryson can be reached at Coldwell Banker Del Mar at (858) 755-0075 or by email at Ellen.Bryson@camoves.com.
