RSF School takes top award at Disneyland festival Band, orchestra, choir recognized at Music in the Parks gathering R. Roger Rowe School band, orchestra and choir recently won a top overall award, called “Esprit de Corps,” at the “Music in the Parks Festival at Disneyland,” held June 2 in Anaheim. R. Roger Rowe School was the only elementary school competing against more than 15 other middle schools and high schools. The R. Roger Rowe school band and strings each won a “Superior” award, which is the top rating, and the choir received an “Excellent” award, which is second best. Mr. Haus, the school’s music teacher, reported that the various directors and adjudicators at the festival kept asking, “Are you guys really

Each year the festival selects one group to receive an overall school award called the “Esprit de Corps.” This award goes to the most impressive school based on performance, technicality and musicality, as well as behavior and spirit. R. Roger Rowe won this top overall award despite the fact that they were up against a creative and performing arts middle school, which is a magnet school for the arts. Most of the schools that participated in the event were from Southern California, but one school was from Northern CaliforSee AWARD, page 24

Crime often rises in the summer, Sheriff’s Department cautions As summer approaches, people take advantage of the sunny weather to do outdoor projects, take their families to fun places, relax and keep cool. For criminals, however, it’s a very busy time of year, according to the Encinitas Sheriff’s Department. It can be easy to forget to close a door or window, but if they are left open it creates an easy opportunity for a burglar. Criminals

focus on easy targets; make it difficult for them to choose you, the Sheriff’s Department recommends. The Sheriff’s Department offers the following tips to keep yourself, your family, your home and your valuables safe: At Home • Always lock your doors and windows especially at night and when you’re away

• Close your garage and pet doors • Secure ladders and tools so they can’t be used to gain entry into your home • Be wary of anyone who approaches your front door and don’t let them take up too much of your time. Criminals work together; one will come to your door and distract you while the other sneaks into your home. Ask for an

ID of a utility person. • Be a good neighbor, look out for one another. • Excessive dog barking could be a sign of an intruder and may warrant a call to the Sheriff’s Department. • Report suspicious activity to the Sheriff’s non-emergency line (858) 565-5200 • Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Specialists offer a free security

check to show vulnerabilities in your home. Call your local Station or Substation. When going on vacation • Lock up your home, activate your alarm • Don’t broadcast your plans on social media • Hold the delivery of your See CRIME, page 24

RSF resident’s nonprofit helps kids build values, self-esteem BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Nancie Hochberg is re-launching her nonprofit Deeds From the Heart, an organization that seeks to build values and self-esteem in kids and teens ages 4 through 18. The group is re-launching with a revamped social action activities, as well as a new teen program called Straight Talk 4 Teens. The programs, which run September through May are now enrolling. “A lot of youth organizations say they develop leaders but you can’t develop a leader until kids have values,” Hochberg said. “Values come from the heart and that’s what I’m trying to do in fueling the hearts and souls of kids and teens.” Hochberg first started Deeds From the Heart in 2000. “I started it because I’m a true believer in tolerance, empathy and understanding in kids,” Hochberg said. “When I moved here (from Pennsylvania) I saw a lack of ethnic and economic diversity and I was concerned about bringing them up here.” The group grew to 100 kids helping out 72 different organizations in the county with monthly events. With Deeds From the Heart’s

These social action activities are open to children as young as 4 and parents also attend the events. Hochberg said that it’s impor-

tant to teach children to give back and to expose them to places and people they would not find on their own, from young war veterans to burn victims. In the past, Deeds From the Heart children met and adopted a child through the Make A Wish Foundation and worked tirelessly to raise $7,000 and grant a wish

to go to Disneyland. While social action is open to children ages 4 to 18, Straight Talk 4 Teens focuses solely on teenagers ages 14 to 18. “Teens today can make decisions without thinking about how those decisions affect their reputations and the consequences they have on their future,” Hochberg

said. With Straight Talk, the teens will have monthly meetings with a facilitator who is a second year doctoral student with a master’s in clinical psychology. Hochberg hopes that the monthly meetings offer programming that fosters self-exploration, leading to better decision making. “Self exploration is a process that we can all benefit from and I think teens especially,” Hochberg said. The sessions will begin in September on the first Sunday of every month at 3 p.m., and will feature a variety of topics such as the Internet, bullying, marijuana, fitting in and food issues. Each discussion will feature people brought in to speak on the topic. For example, in November’s planned discussion on issues related to teens and sex, there will be a gynecologist and a pregnant teen in attendance to offer perspective. Hochberg said there will be no lectures or judging, but an opportunity for teens to learn and express themselves in a supportive environment. Sign up before Aug. 25 and receive a free t-shirt.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

New Fairbanks Ranch golf director loves to ‘keep people in the game’ BY KAREN BILLING Andrée Martin, the new director of golf instruction at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, is easy to find on the golf course — she’s the one in the cowboy hat, enthusiastic and ready to improve your golf game. The Maine native is enjoying being spoiled by San Diego’s “awesome” weather and the fact that in her first three weeks at Fairbanks she’s already held 12 clinics. “There is a very active membership here and that makes me very excited because there’s a lot of room for growth and development of their games and making it a more enjoyable game,” Martin said, making special note of the very active Women’s Club. “There’s also some untapped, new golfers and almost-ready players that I need to convert into raging golfers.” Martin is a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Class A professional and a certified golf coach. She was recently inducted into the Maine Golf Hall of Fame and has over 30 years of golf expertise to bring to the tee. Her goal as an instructor is to take good care of golfers that want to play their best, whether they’re just looking to play socially, need to play for business or want to play tournament golf. “I want everyone to be able to achieve their personal golf goals,” Martin said. Martin started playing golf when she was in high school. She was introduced to the sport by her father who played in a league at Purpooduck Club in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. “I just thought it was fun,” said Martin. “I had no one to play tennis with and I wasn’t good at laying on the beach. I wanted to be active so I went out golfing with my dad.” Eventually she got a job in the bag room at the club and worked her way into the pro shop where the ladies at the club encouraged her to enter as many golf tournaments as she could. She played on the boys team for her high school because there was no girls team at the time. In college, she tried out as a walk-on at the University of South Florida in Tampa, beating out 30 other girls to make the team. “I loved collegiate golf, it was a blast,” Martin said. Unfortunately, Martin blew out her shoulder so she gave up the thought of playing on the tour and went the corporate route, finding a lot of success. She worked for Ping and for Titliest, helping promote new product lines. She was also an executive director for the LPGA Urban Junior Golf program, now The First Tee of Los Angeles. The First Tee is an organization that aims to promote values, self esteem, academic excellence, healthy choices and a sense of responsibility through the game of golf. “I was fortunate to be a part of that organization and help make it happen,” Martin said. From Los Angeles, Martin went to Denver to become the director of the Denver Junior Golf and Girls in Golf programs, enhancing and restructuring programs at more than 89 city courses. From there she was in North Carolina,

Over the past 20 years she’s guest taught for the “First Lady of Golf” Peggy Kirk Bell’s Golfari Golf Schools and for Craft-Zavichas Golf Schools. “I honed my teaching ability because I’ve worked with a lot of great instructors to form my style and philosophy of teaching,” Martin said. “I work with people on what their goals and needs are…I’ve taken some players and elevated their game to levels that they never thought possible. I find ways to do that effectively but simply.” In her instruction, Martin shoots to make great golfers on the range also become great golfers on the course. She teaches everyone, any age and hopes to get people excited and motivated to want to play more. “It’s all about keeping people in the game, wanting to stay and enjoy it,” said Martin. Understanding golf can be a challenging game, she knows how so much of it is mental and helps people to compete, not be frustrated and get out of their own way. “Get it airborne and have a blast,” Martin says, simply put. Martin loves teaching families because she believes golf is a great sport to play together and she also specializes in instruction of people with injuries, working around and with injuries so that people can continue to play the game for a lifetime. “I love teaching and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon,” Martin said. “I’m thrilled to have found this area and make it my home for a long time.” For Fairbanks Ranch Country Club membership information, visit fairbanksranch.com or call (858) 259-8811.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Former RSF resident Betty Mabee’s philanthropic legacy lives on with the ‘Second Hand Rose’ fundraiser BY LESLIE CARTER The late Betty Mabee was almost equally well known locally for the time she spent devoted to her favorite charities as she was in her involvement in the breeding and racing of thoroughbred horses. She passed away in 2010, but since the mid-1980s the Aseltine School in San Diego has had the support of the Rancho Santa Fe resident. She began her earnest efforts to aid the Aseltine School (www.aseltine.org) when one of her grandchildren was enrolled there in the 1980s, and her influence is still felt as the founder of the Angels of Aseltine Auxiliary, which continues the fundraising effort for the school that serves children with learning disabilities. Friday, June 8, witnessed another edition of “Second Hand Rose,” the Angels of Aseltine event that features a fashion show with models from the auxiliary’s membership. This year a selection of designer fashions from Bob Mackie, Escada, Ungaro, Louis Feraud and St. John — which were once worn by Betty — was donated by the Mabee Family to support the school that was close to her heart. The “Second Hand Rose” festivities have moved from hotel to hotel in San Diego over the years, but its last few events have been held at the Town and Country Convention Center. Kimberlin Brown, an actress known for her work on such daytime dramas as “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful,” served as Mistress of Ceremonies. Auxiliary member Bonnie Wainwright sang the now traditional “Second Hand Rose” song and, during a break for the models, there was a Marilyn Monroe impersonator (Chrissy Burns) singing “Diamonds are

a Girl’s Best Friend.” After the fashions were paraded, guests adjourned to another room to purchase fashions for themselves that were going at extremely reasonable prices. About $20,000 was raised for Aseltine School that day. The nonprofit in Hillcrest serves children who can’t function in a regular public school, and accepts student from K through 12. The teacher ratio is one to 11 students. During the mid-1980s, as a way to earn money for the school, Betty proposed that the Angels run a resale shop, and she was determined to call it “Second Hand Rose.” Flory Sell, another Rancho Santa Fe resident, had been a close friend of Betty’s for many years. After starting out using a garage in back of the school, she and Betty oversaw the beginnings of the Chula Vista shop. It was a rousing success in raising money for the school for close to 20 years. The space was donated by John Mabee with the assurance that he would take it back if it didn’t make money. A large group of enthusiastic volunteers kept the shop running successfully for a number of years, but eventually the core group started feeling that they were at retirement age, and the store closed. But the name lives on in the Angels of Aseltine’s fashion event. Flory and her husband became so close to Betty and John that they followed them into the horse business in a “small way.” With the Mabees they made excursions to Kentucky, Ireland and Paris where they sat in the Aly Khan’s box. “They were special wonderful people and opened up a wonderful world to us. I miss them to this day,” said Flory.

Architect a jack of all artistic trades BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

When John Nalevanko was in his 20s and in love, he used to draw pictures and mail them to his sweetheart. They had met in Hawaii and she had to move to New York to attend college, so he would draw pictures of the Hawaiian flowers she missed so much. He also drew pictures of lips — “smooches” — too. That soon turned into drawing of plants, the flower replaced with a big, red “smooch.” “We called it a ‘smoochplant’ and that’s still what it is today,” said Nalevanko, who expanded the smoochplant into a series of greeting cards, which he tucked away until he was in his mid-30s and living in San Diego. “Then I had a new girlfriend and I showed her my drawings and we thought about marketing them,” said the local resident. Smoochplant is now a very new trademarked company that sells “smoochcards,” decorative gift boxes and stuffed smoochplants — a romantic gift that combines the elements of stuffed animals and live flowers. “It lasts longer than flowers. You can keep it forever,” said Nalevanko, who is working toward the product or entire concept getting picked up by a major retailer. That would be quite an achievement for the artist, especially considering that Smoochplant is only a side gig — Nalevanko is a distinguished architect and designer who has worked out of his Del Mar office for more than 20 years. When you are a self-described “creative machine” like Nalevanko, it’s not out of the ordinary to be a jack of all artistic trades. “Creativity is the basis of my life,” said Nalevanko, who has mastered the art of

John Nalevanko painting in addition to his thriving business, Nollo Furniture Company, and practice as an award-winning architect. He also delves into organic gardening and has a knack for highly artistic landscaping — “artscape,” as he calls it. “I don’t feel as if it’s a good day unless I created something that day, whether it be work on an architectural project, work on a new idea for a product, or paint,” he said. Nalevanko has been featured more than 70 times in newspapers, magazines and books, and his designs were recently accepted by www.artfulhome.com, the acclaimed online catalog company representing juried fine art and crafts from North American artists. He’s even produced two pieces of furniture — the Nollo Chair and the Nollo Swing — that have won American Institute of Architects awards and been called design “classics.” “My main practice is architecture,” said Nalevanko. “Doing furniture helps keep my name out there.” Creating building designs — mainly residential — in parallel with designing furniture sets him apart from others in his field. Further, he said he is the only person he knows of who does just that. “With furniture, I can explore design language and

sometimes that language can find itself into an architecture project,” Nalevanko said, adding that a design “language” is like a particular style. He describes his furniture style as being “pure and honest,” using domestic materials and local woods, not tricky craftsmanship. “It’s sturdily built without a lot of ornamentation,” he said. When it comes to his residential architecture style, he said people who are very familiar with his work might recognize it, but he generally likes to come up with an original idea every time. He also said he likes to concentrate heavily on only a few projects a year so he can focus on quality and good service. “Instead of coming in and saying ‘I’m doing a modern flat roof house,’ I let it develop from the design process,” he said. “All the houses look different because they adapt to the scale of the neighborhood, climate and parameters of the site.” For more information on Nalevanko’s furniture business, visit www.nollofurniturecompany.com.

RSF’s Mantooth Films’ ‘Deadtime Stories for Kids’ TV series to be distributed worldwide RSF’s Mantooth Films and Hill & Brand Kids recently announced that the “Deadtime Stories for Kids,” a television series (based on a series of books published by Starscape) will be distributed by Cookie Jar Entertainment. The first season of 26 halfhour episodes will be distributed worldwide. “Grave Secrets” will serve as the pilot episode. Cool and creepy, funny and frightening, “Deadtime Stories” are books for children ages 8 to 12 — written by Annette and Gina Cascone — that offer thrills and chills without violence or gore. Mantooth Films partners Dale Strack, Tonya Mantooth and Patti Judd, and filmmaking brothers Scott and David Hillenbrand of Hill & Brand Kids will be the local team co-producing the series.

The pilot episode “Grave Secrets” features Academy Award-nominated actress Diane Ladd and also stars Disney Channel celebrity Jennifer Stone (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) as the babysitter. In the episode, the babysitter reads the book to her young charges and then the story comes to life. This mechanism continues throughout the series. Cookie Jar distributes over 6,000 episodes of kids’ programming around the world and serves as a worldwide merchandising agent for the shows. With Nickelodeon, they produced and distributed the highly successful show “Are You Afraid Of The Dark,” which was an anthology series in the same genre.

Rawhide Ranch is celebrating the commencement of its 50th anniversary. To kick off the big celebration, a charity event was held at the 40-acre dude ranch on June 2. The Gene Autry Arena was dedicated. Jeffrey Richardson, the curator for the “Gene Autry Museum,” came to speak as a spokesperson on the values and legacy of Gene Autry, just after he cut the red ribbon for the dedication. Kristi Krause, an American Idol contestant, sang the National Anthem. The “Roy Roger Rangers” performed a mounted shooting expedition on horseback. Gold Medal Vaulters demonstrated acrobatic and graceful positions on a powerful vaulting horse as they represented “The Poway Valley Vaulter’s” efforts to support the cause and celebration. The event raised funds to assist military kids to attend summer camp at Rawhide Ranch’s horse camp. This little slice of heaven called Rawhide Ranch Summer Camp is tucked away in the sleepy ranch town of Bonsall, Calif., just 30 miles north from San Diego. It is home to about 100 animals and many horses. Rawhide Ranch allows kids from all over the world to work the ranch, ride horses and choose from a variety of clinics the ranch offers. Some of the clinics include riding horses, archery, vaulting, riflrey, roping, animal science classes, water slide/pool, sports/games, creative writing, drama, country line dancing, arts and crafts, to name a few. Volunteers also created a group called “Friends of Rawhide Ranch” to help raise funds for kids to go to camp. With Rancho Santa Fe’s Melisse Mossy as president and Camber Hardy as director, they “are excited to help any military child who has a parent deployed attend camp.” There are still scholarships available. Please contact Russ Hill at rdhill@ucdavis.edu to learn more about qualifying for the program. Rawhide Ranch has been in operation since 1963. Knott’s Berry Farm donated its entire Old West Village to the 40 acres. — Camber Hardy, director, Friends of Rawhide Ranch Rawhide Ranch is located at 6987 West Lilac Road, Bonsall, Calif., 92003.

Retiring Solana Santa Fe ‘Teacher of the Year’ believes in the importance of learning ‘life skills’ BY STACEY PHILLIPS Third grade teacher Suzie Shea was named this year’s Teacher of the Year at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. After 30 years of teaching children, she retired at the end of this school year from the profession that she has always loved. Born and raised in Oakland, Calif., Shea always wanted to be a teacher. Her mother was in charge of the gifted child program in Oakland; meanwhile, Shea said she always wanted to help the students who needed a little extra. Shea was a nun for 11 years at the Holy Name Sister in California, where she taught children. She also worked at other California schools, including two different boarding schools. She took a break from teaching and had three children of her own, two daughters and a son. Eventually, she decided to go back to the classroom and came to Solana Santa Fe in 1997. Connecting with her students has always been an important goal for Shea. “I’ve lived many years so I’m able to show them pieces of my life that are so important, values that aren’t always taught in the home, values of honesty and helping one another,” she said. “It takes a village to get us all educated.” Shea said it’s one thing to teach children academics, but life skills are just as important. “You can be the smartest child in the world, but if you can’t relate to other people and compromise and work together, then your brilliance goes for naught.” Over the years Shea has taught a range of grades from third to eighth; the fifth grade curriculum was one she has always enjoyed. One of her favorite memories was taking the fifth grade students to Washington D.C. every year with the other teachers at Solana Santa Fe. “What I learned from her as a mentor is to know kids as people; she instilled that in me,” said fifth grade teacher Becky Gauthier, who used to travel to Washington D.C. with Shea. “She is incredibly creative and can dream anything up and make it happen. She knows the kids so well and instills a love of reading in every child.”

Suzie Shea with her third grade class. Shea has seen many changes throughout her career, especially the increase of technology in the classroom. She cautions students to be aware how much time they are spending using technology so they don’t miss out on interaction with other people. “It’s just learning the balance in life, the balance of using these things as tools.” She has also noticed the maturity of the children has been raised. “I think children grow up faster today than they did years ago. You have to meet those moments with children to keep them interested in school because the outside world is so interesting,” she said. After retiring, Shea plans to spend time gardening, visiting her seven grandchildren, and learning Spanish fluently. Another one of her goals is to volunteer at San Diego’s Monarch School for homeless children. She has been involved

Third grade teacher Suzie Shea was named Solana Santa Fe’s Teacher of the Year and retired this school year.

She is also considering writing a book about her life story, which she said has been interesting and often entertains teachers with her stories. Over the years, Shea said she has learned the importance of listening. She encourages teachers to listen to their students and not to impose ideas on them but instead to encourage them to think for themselves. Her advice to students is to “Discover yourself, who you are and what kind of person you want to be. I always tell the kids, ‘You have two ears and one month, what does that tell you? You should be listening!’”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Book celebrates ‘Del Mar at 75: Where the Turf Meets the Surf’ BY KATHY DAY As the Del Mar racetrack gears up for its 75th season opening on July 18, all sorts of special activities are being planned. But there’s one that will last beyond closing day – a carefully crafted book of memories that captures the essence of a day in the life of the legendary track. “Del Mar at 75: Where the Turf Meets the Surf” was the brainchild of photographer Barry Photographer Barry Myers Myers of Bethesda, Md., Photo/Charles Pravata. who admits to attending a horse race only once before he started on the project. When he shared the idea with his cousin Jay Privman of Encinitas — the national correspondent for the Daily Racing Form who is decidedly better informed on thoroughbred racing – the plan started to gel. Privman knows the staff at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club well from covering the season there for years. As an 11-year-old on a family vacation, it’s also the first place he ever saw a horse race. Four years ago, Privman approached his friend Craig Dado, the club’s senior vice president for marketing, about the idea of “capturing the ebbs and flows to the season.” Then, to paraphrase Trevor Denman, away they went. “The Del Mar experience is so visual,” Dado said. “We’ve always wanted to do a coffee table book so when Jay, who’s an award-winning writer, talked to me and (DMTC President) Joe Harper about it, we decided we had the right team.” Myers, a retired commercial photographer who had little experience shooting sports but lots doing portraits, said he wanted to show more than just the racing. He wanted more about who the people are and what their daily routines were. To accomplish his goal he spent 60 days over the past four racing seasons, from sunup to sundown and beyond looking for the photos that told the story. Myers said he wanted to be there for at least part of every day of the season, including the week before and a couple of days after closing day. In the acknowledgments he wrote: “From the beginning, I saw this project as a documentary, an aggregate day in the life of a great race track, where 3,800 workers, 2,100 horses, and more than 650,000 fans come together during a season …” Privman’s words help tell the story. “Del Mar has such great allure, from its founding to the great atmosphere next to the ocean and the fun things after the races,” he said. “I didn’t want the project to be just a history book.” While there is a chapter on the storied history that serves as an introduction and a chapter on “Zenyatta: Del Mar’s Best Ever,” the emotional ride of the book is from early morning to evening as the jockeys and staff do their part and the crowds react and enjoy all the sideline activities. The book includes many of the landmark Del Mar shots – ladies in their hats on opening day, people poring over racing forms, lines at the betting windows, the Party in the Paddock. To do the project right required access to places that few journalists get to see, either on a regular basis or just for a snapshot. For Myers, the time he spent taking pictures in the jockeys’ room was special. “Most of the press doesn’t go in,” he said. “It’s not like TV coverage during races like the Preakness when the lights are on.” There are also shots taken in the money room where employees deal with stacks — and stacks and stacks — of cash and security guards are on alert. Privman said he doesn’t know of any other journalists who have been in that room, much less been allowed to photograph it. “It’s a testament to how Del Mar race track and Thoroughbred Club officials trusted Barry to do a good job and tell the story,” he said.

Author and photographer alike singled out Dado and Harper along with DMTC Executive Vice President Mike Ernst and media director Mac MacBride for their assistance, but also wanted to thank everyone else associated for being so helpful. Dado said the unfettered access was essential to telling “the real experience of all of Del Mar.” “We let everyone know Barry would be in places photographers would never be,” he said, adding that he really likes how the book turned out. “Four of the photos are now hanging on my office wall.” One of those shots is of horses breaking from the gate. For Myers, the racing shots were “challenging at first,” he said. “I hadn’t shot powerful animals coming down the track at great speed.” But he learned, he added, with the help of other photographers and his own technical knowledge from years as a commercial photographer. At the end of each season, he would edit the collection and cull about a third of the shots right away, he said “From there, I selected about Rafael Bejarano one in every 12 to 15 as the best ones.” After last season, they had about 25,000 images – with only about 350 making it into print. He’d send disks to his cousin, who had ideas of what Myers wanted to shoot. Towards the end, Myers said, Jay suggested that he was missing some pieces or should devote more time to some areas. Both have favorite shots in the book, although Privman had to think a bit before answering. “The one on the back cover – the view of the paddock, is unmistakably Del Mar,” he said. He’s also partial to an archival shot of a shirtless, barefoot Charlie Wittingham — the renowned trainer — exercising one of his horses on the beach and one of Zenyatta walking in the morning fog. Myers’ favorites include early Morning workout at the track.

The man of 200 (or more) voices heads to Garfield Theatre

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DAVID L. CODDON Expect Rich Little to be paying close attention to the presidential debates this fall. Not because he’s trying to decide whom to vote for in November. The truth is, he wants to get his “Mitt Romney” down. “It’s not going to be easy, because he looks like the typical all-American guy,” said Little of the GOP candidate. “He looks like ‘Leave it to Beaver’s’ father. I’m hoping that the debates will change things. Maybe he’ll get angry or we’ll hear something different, because he isn’t terribly exciting.” Little, the most famous impressionist in show-biz history, isn’t excited about Democratic incumbent Barack Obama’s voice either. “I think Ron Paul would have been better for me,” he confided, then immediately impersonated the Texas politician. “He’s a whiner,” Little whined, spot on. Little, who’s been doing impressions of and jokes about Hollywood and Washington’s biggest luminaries for 50 years, will per-

form Saturday, June 30, at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre as part of the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture’s “Look & Listen Performing Arts Series.” He’ll be alone on stage, but it won’t feel like it. The comedian’s repertoire includes more than 200 impressions, voices that he’s been doing on television, in concert and on nightclub stages since he was a young performer in his native Canada. His TV resume alone includes appearances on “Ed Sullivan,” “LaughIn,” “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson and even Judy Garland’s CBS variety show. He’s performed countless times in Las Vegas (it’s also been his home on and off for 40 years), and it’s there, at the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, that he’s honing his one-man play, “Jimmy Stewart & Friends,” for an anticipated Broadway run. “I was a personal friend of Jimmy’s, I spent a lot of time with him,” Little said by phone from Vegas. “We used to socialize a lot and

I thought that if I was going to do a show that involved a lot of other impressions

he would be one of the best to do because he worked with so many people that I do.” That list includes presidents Ronald Reagan and

Richard Nixon, Cary Grant, John Wayne and Henry Fonda. Little has also worked a few more contemporary voices into the show: Dr. Phil, Andy Rooney, Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicholson. He does 28 impressions during each performance of the play. Little acknowledges that most of his impressions are of celebrities from an era foreign to younger audiences. “You don’t see many people doing Don Rickles and Robert Stack and Walter Matthau,” he said. “If you’re going to be an impersonator today, are you going to do your act and do Brad Pitt and George Clooney and Matt Damon? Is that going to work? Even if you did them well? I don’t know.” But Little says young people enjoy his shows. “I find that the young people who do come and are laughing and enjoying the show always say to me ‘I have no idea who you are impersonating, but I like the jokes.” Among his favorite voices, besides Stewart, are

Ronald Reagan, and the man who was known as the “King of Late Night.” “It’s amazing how many people still remember ‘Carnac the Magnificent.’ I even say to the audience, do you miss Johnny Carson, and they all yell out yes.” Voice impressionists are a rare breed these days, but Little, 73, has some advice for aspiring impersonators: Choose people you admire and watch them all the time. “You get to know their mannerisms, their quirks. It helps if you’re a fan. You tend to gravitate to people you like. When I was a kid, I did John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, Jack Benny and George Burns.” Then, when asked if he ever thinks about retiring from show business, Rich Little morphed into George Burns: “You’ve got to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning, or you’ve got to have a reason to get into bed. At my age, they’re one and the same.” Good night, Gracie.

The food is really fine here, actually it’s World Famous BY KELLY CARLSON t’s clear that World Famous is pretty well-known — at least locally — as evidenced by the lines during its happy hours and often lengthy wait times for meals. Those are positive signs that customers are pleased with the food, service and atmosphere at this beachside restaurant, located along the Ocean Front Boardwalk. Formerly located in what is now The Green Flash, World Famous has been on the south end of Pacific Beach — near the Mission Beach border — since 1993, and was taken over by owner Dieter May in 1994, according to general manager Kendall Blevens. Its casual coastal cuisine and unobstructed views of the Pacific draw everyone from college students to families to San Diego Chargers fans, who watch games on one of four TVs during the football season. Naturally, the eatery incorporates beachthemed decor, which includes a surfboard hanging in the cocktail bar/lounge, old World Famous menus printed on wooden fish along the walls, and surfing and fishing photos throughout the establishment. In

I

one picture, it appears that several women are holding a very large fish, which is actually a broomstick, Chef Chris Bates said with a chuckle. As might be expected of an oceanside restaurant, many of World Famous’ entrees consist of seafood, but there are also handcut steaks, salads and a number of other options. And guests may be surprised to find that the majority of items are under $20, and everything falls below $30. Patrons can sit on the patio and watch the waves crashing and people strolling along the walkway while consuming a fresh fish dish such as Potato-Wrapped Halibut, served with a sun-dried tomato basil champagne sauce, rock shrimp arborio cake and steamed asparagus. They may also sample a variety of oceanbased fare such as the San Francisco-Style Cioppino, a Sicilian-style fisherman stew with Maine lobster, fresh fish, jumbo shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams in a herb lobster broth. For a tender meat dish, they gravitate toward the Slow-Roasted Prime Rib, which is cooked overnight and served in half- and full-cut portions. It’s served with garlic chive

Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This Week: World Famous’ Nut Crusted Brie whipped butter potatoes, sweet red peppers, au jus and creamy horseradish sauce. For the health-conscious crowd, the Kona Coast Shrimp Salad features grilled jumbo prawns over romaine tossed in a miso blood orange vinaigrette with wonton skins, mild peppers, thinly sliced Bermuda onions and dried cranberries. The family-friendly World Famous provides a special children’s menu with choices for the three main meals. Breakfast items are all served with a choice of bacon or sausage; among the lunch and dinner alternatives are the Little Surfer Burger,

Crispy Chicken Fingers, Popcorn Shrimp, and X-Treme Mac and Cheese with a creamy housemade cheese sauce over penne pasta. Monday through Thursday nights are very popular at the eatery — especially with the college-age crowd —with different bar promotions each of those days. They include half-price appetizers, and specials on shrimp, lobster and pollo asada tacos and Hawaiian ribs. As World Famous transitions for its dinner rush, it provides a “cafe” menu with items like burgers and appetizers from 3 to 5 p.m. daily. Around 5 p.m. weekdays tends to be the quietest time at the establishment, Bates said. “You can have a real nice seat” and can still hang around for the sunset, he said. “The restaurant almost stops as the sun goes down … it’s kind of like a calming time of day,” Bates added. Reservations are recommended on weekends and even during summer days, since the wait can sometimes be as long as one to two hours. “It’s packed all day during the summer,” Bates said. Maybe because it’s “World Famous.”

Local woman starts unique yoga festival in Telluride •North County festival on Bindu instructor’s radar BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

A yoga instructor of nearly a decade, local resident Aubrey Hackman used to attend a huge yoga conference in Colorado each year. One year, the conference was sponsored by Fiji water, she said, and by the end of the well-attended event, the grounds were covered with empty plastic water bottles. “I thought, ‘This isn’t right,’” said Hackman, 29. “This is a yoga event and it should promote mindfulness. People should be aware of the consequences their actions create. That’s what’s taught in the philosophy of yoga.” Then a resident of Telluride, Colo., Hackman decided to create her own yoga event that would be environmentally conscious and not produce waste — one that would “allow attendees to accrue good karma,” she said. With that intention, the very first yoga festival was born, and it has been going strong for five years. The Telluride Yoga Festival began with about 300 attendees in 2008 and has grown to more than 800. Not only was Hackman able to secure grant funding from the town of Telluride, but dozens of highly coveted yoga instructors from around the world have committed to being a part of the festival because they are in tune with her no-waste philosophy. “I got huge names I never expected to get because they also wanted to be part of something that was environmentally focused,” said Hackman. “As soon as they caught wind of this event that was going to be totally different they jumped on board.” Sponsors of the event are only allowed to provide product samples that are consumable and recyclable, and Hackman has turned away a number of companies that have offered ample sponsorship funding, but could not supply plas-

TGDM_2417_SummerConcert_MSM_AD.indd 1

tic-free promotional products. A portion of proceeds from the festival is also dispersed among several environmental nonprofits. “All the paper we use is ancient forest-friendly, too. We’ve been doing that from day one,” said Hackman. “The commercialization of yoga is huge right now, a $30 billion industry. It’s enormous. I just want to focus on tradition and the older integrity of the practice.” Hackman said Aubrey Hackman the success of the festival inspired her to move to North County, where yoga is heavily embraced by the community. She said she would like to start a yoga festival here, and there have been many local people who have come forth to help her. “It’s still up in the air,” she said. “I have what’s necessary; I’m just waiting for the right time.” Hackman teaches yoga full-time at Bindu Yoga, located at 1130 Camino del Mar, and also at Hale Holistic in downtown San Diego (1250 J St.). She continues to orchestrate the

Telluride Yoga Festival from her home in Del Mar, and the fast-approaching 2012 fest is scheduled for July 12-15. Despite the growing popularity of the festival, Hackman said she wants to keep it small and intimate. “Its size is what makes it unique,” she said. “Considering the caliber of teachers I bring in, at their home studios you may see 60 people in their class, so it’s really special to come to the festival and be able to take these senior teachers’ classes with 20 people or less.” In addition to having a vast array of class options, the festival offers a vibrant selection of vendors, an evening kirtan musical performance by Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band, and a workshop on slack-lining (similar to tightrope walking). The kirtan music style is a call-and-response, meditative Indian tradition that incorporates mainly percussion instruments. Local harpist Kelsey Little will also perform at the festival. In planning for the festival, Hackman travels the world to find distinguished and like-minded teachers and performers to invite. For example, a brother-sister team Hackman met in India last fall will be featured at the festival this year. Keeping a strict focus on the caliber of teachers is how Hackman has both built and maintained respect in the yoga community. “We have an intense focus on the teachers,” said Hackman, adding that about 30 percent of attendees are instructors themselves. “That’s really what sets us apart from other yoga events.” For more information on the Telluride Yoga Festival, visit www.tellurideyogafestival.com.

RSF Senior Scene: To drive or not to drive? BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Whether to drive or not is an important question to address as we age. Owning and operating an automobile is essential to the identities of most Americans, however, statistics show that we Terrie Litwin can expect to live 7-10 years beyond our ability to drive safely. Driver safety is an important and often sensitive issue for seniors. The changes brought about by normal aging can sometimes interfere with the ability to drive. Because everyone ages differently, some individuals can continue to drive safely into their 80s and beyond while others cannot or should not. Statistics show that elderly drivers are more likely than other drivers to receive traffic citations for failing to yield, turning improperly and running red lights and stop signs – all indications of decreased driving ability. It is easy to overlook problems that develop slowly, over time, because we typically accommodate our daily activities to what we can comfortably do. Consequently, issues like vision or hearing loss, decreasing physical activity, or the impact of prescription and over the counter medications may not be noticed and can make driving hazardous. There are environmental factors as well which affect senior drivers and include signs and road markings that are difficult to see or read, confusing intersections and older vehicles that lack automatic safety features. Although older adults are at a higher risk for accidents than other age groups and

are more likely to be seriously injured than younger drivers, they actually have lower rates of fatal crashes than teenage drivers. They are more likely to obey speed limits, wear safety belts, refrain from driving while under the influence of alcohol, and take fewer risks than other groups. Their adherence to traffic laws and rules of the road supports the contention that when older drivers have an accident, they are more likely to injure themselves than others. Also, license renewals drop for drivers in their 80s even as this age group expands, suggesting that many seniors recognize their diminished driving skills and choose alternate means of transportation. Some, rather than giving up driving completely, choose familiar, less challenging routes, avoid freeway driving, driving at night and other aspects of driving that could cause anxiety or accidents. Please join us at the Senior Center on Wednesday, June 27, at 2 p.m. for an informative presentation that will include: methods for evaluating and improving driver safety, an overview of state policies related to aging and disabled drivers, strategies for initiating difficult discussions about driving, and an overview of local transportation alternatives. Program presenters are Amy Abrams, MSW/MPH, and Susan Bill, RN, with Eldercare Guides, a local geriatric care management company.

San Diego Musical Theatre’s ‘Rent’ opens June 22 BY SUSAN FARESE The award-winning, professional San Diego Musical Theatre (SDMT) will present the critically-acclaimed Broadway rock opera “Rent” June 22-July 8 at its new home, the beautifully restored Birch North Park Theatre. Actress Gwen Stewart, from the original Broadway and touring productions of “Rent,” will reprise the role she created, Mrs. Jefferson, introducing the solo vocals for the musical’s central theme song, “Seasons of The critically-acclaimed Broadway rock opera “Rent” Love.” “Rent,” which ran for 12 runs June 22-July 8 at its new home, the beautifully years on Broadway and is cur- restored Birch North Park Theatre. rently playing Off-Broadway, is based loosely on Puccini’s La Bohème. “Rent” was written by the late playwright-composer Jonathan Larsen, who at 35 in 1996, tragically died after the last dress rehearsal the day before “Rent” premiered Off-Broadway. His death from an aortic dissection was believed to be caused by an undiagnosed case of Marfan’s Syndrome. “Rent” garnered three posthumous Tony Awards (best musical, book of a musical and original score) and a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and Drama Desk Outstanding Musical and Book. According to the Off-Broadway website, “Rent tells the unforgettable story of a group of young artists learning to survive, falling in love, finding their voices and living for today while exploring topics relevant to communities today.” Director Ron Kellum said, “This amazing cast will touch and inspire you! A great opportunity to experience ‘Rent’ with this talented ensemble.” Single tickets for SDMT’s production of RENT are $26, $32, $42 and $52. Children 12 and under are half price. There are discounts for seniors, military and students. Equity may purchase up to two tickets at half price. Group discounts for parties of 10 or more are available.

RSF resident to appear in ‘Leaving Iowa,’ a comedy about family and vacations PowPac, Poway’s Community Theatre will present Leaving Iowa, written by Tim Clue and Spike Manton, opening on Friday, June 22, and running through Sunday, July 22. Told in flashback, Leaving Iowa is a hilarious sentimental comedy about a journalist who returns to the family homestead in Winterset, Iowa, to find a final resting place for his father’s ashes, only to discover that the property is now a grocery store. Not wanting to tell his mother and sister that he has failed in his mission, he sets out on a road trip to find the proper alternative resting place for his father’s ashes, all the while reliving the summer vacations he spent as a boy, trapped in the family station wagon en route to uninteresting historical sites with a well-meaning but naïve father. With a generous dollop of humor and a heart as big as the Midwest, Leaving Iowa shows us that the journey really is as important as the destination. This show “Leaving Iowa” opens on Friday, June 22, and runs through Sunday, is guaranteed to keep you laughing and will make July 22. you remember the childhood vacations you vowed to forget.* The cast includes Nathan Boyer as Don, RSF’s Christine Gatlin as Sis, Cheryl Warner as Mom, Sam Warner as Dad, with Bud Emerson, Evan Jones and Pati Reynolds playing multiple memorable characters that the family encountered on various road trips.

Community Concerts of RSF announces 2012/2013 lineup with pre-season discounts on subscriptions Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe recently announced its new lineup for this coming Fall 2012/Winter 2013 season.

Next you’ll hear the Masters of Motown on Friday Jan 25. The show features stylishly costumed, fully choreographed tributes to both male and female groups of the era. Masters of Motown’s dynamic vocalists are backed by a band of seasoned musicians who have been performing together for decades. Take a stroll down memory lane with the incredible harmonies and smooth moves made famous by the likes of The Temptations, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Four Tops and Diana Ross. This high-energy show is perfect for audiences of all ages. This year’s closing concert will be Friday, March 22, featuring the Side Street Strutters Twenty-six years of musicianship create a performance which breathes new life into songs by the great songstresses pulled from the Great American

Songbook. Remember that yet another feature of this series is that a well-behaved child or grandchild may attend gratis with an adult ticket holder.

Orchestra Nova takes musicians and their sponsors on a cruise As a special thank you to sponsors of its Heart of the Orchestra program, Orchestra Nova presented both the sponsors and the musicians they are sponsoring a tour on San Diego’s bay on Sunday morning, June 10, aboard a special yacht. The cruise, which included a special catered brunch, was hosted by Jung-Ho Pak, artistic director and conductor, Dana Zimbric, associate conductor, and Beverly Lambert, chief executive officer. The Heart of the Orchestra program was initiated in 2011 to give Nova supporters who donate from $5,000 to $20,000 the opportunity to partner with one of its stars, the musicians and conductors, and to forge a special bond with them through special events and oneon-one interactions. The yacht was provided by Fraser Yachts and captained by Michael Selter. Glenn John Capital and the ABS Fund, led by Glenn Howard, was also a sponsor of the event. Heart of the Orchestra sponsors include Frances Hunter (Hunter Industries) of Rancho Santa Fe; Nancy Snyder of Solana Beach; Barbara and Dick Daly of San Diego; Vic and Louise Engleman of San Diego; Matt and Ellen Burkhart from Del Mar; Judy Moore from La Jolla; Kathleen Davis from Rancho Santa Fe; and Ed and Julie Sinclair from Juneau, Alaska and La Jolla. “It was such fun,” said Nancy Snyder. “To get to visit with the musicians and with JungHo and Dana was such a treat – what wonderful individuals they all are!” “We are committed to providing a real connection between our guests and the stars of our orchestra and Heart of the Orchestra is one of the core programs that make the Nova Experience special for everyone,” says Beverly Lambert, chief executive officer. “What separates a great musician from merely a good one is that the great ones play with heart. Our musicians play with heart.” – Jung-Ho Pak.

Marriage and Relationships

Dear Trying. This challenge that you describe is one that most of us can relate to. How do we manage our own feelings and reactions and keep them from hijacking our relationship into a negative place? I think that even asking the question suggests that you are on the right track. The first step is selfawareness — being able to observe yourself and notice what exactly tweaks you. Taking time to write in a journal on a regular basis can help you get things off your chest until you can bring issues up with your husband in a calm manner. Try to notice and write about the feelings and thoughts that arise when a particular thing happens. The issues in our relationships that get us really emotionally hot are usually touching something deeper within us, like wondering if our mate is really there for us or if we are respected and valued members of the family. So, the first step is to pause and reflect on what buttons are being pushed. Developing the ability to observe your reactions so that you are not fully submerged in your emotion can help you to gain some perspective on what is the best way to handle things. When you feel yourself getting upset, try taking some slow deep breaths…and think of the emotion as a wave and ride it out with your breath. You can also try breathing in to the count of four and breathing out to the count of eight. Before you approach your husband about these issues try to see it from his perspective. Often divorced dads feel guilty and super concerned for the kids to the point of being a little lax on the discipline. It would also be natural and even healthy for the family to some degree for him to try to keep the peace with his ex-wife (if there is some). For the children’s sake, less conflict between their parents will help them with the adjustment to life post-divorce. If you take your husband’s feelings into consideration before addressing your concerns with him, it will soften your approach. And he will most likely be able to hear your needs and concerns more easily.

As a full-time caregiver to your children, it’s important that you take some special time for yourself on a regular basis. Taking time to exercise and spend time with friends can be good for blowing off steam and reducing stress. Just make sure that you choose friends who don’t exacerbate your difficulties, but rather they offer constructive, equanimous feedback. Stepfamilies can be complicated with all the conflicting needs, feelings, and pre-existing loyalties. It’s important to take a broad lens view when looking at the whole picture. Note: Diane Wisdom will hold “Conversations for Connection,” a couples workshop and marriage retreat in Rancho Santa Fe June 29-30. Based on the book “Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love.” Strengthen and deepen your relationship. For more information, visit www.cottageclinic.net.

A star-studded party has been scheduled to raise funds for two charities that help disabled jockeys and others involved in horse racing. The inaugural “Jockey for a Cause” Charity Event will take place July 18 at 6 p.m. (PDT) at the DeHaven Estate in Rancho Santa Fe, following opening day races at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar. The party will be hosted by California horse owner Jeff DeHaven, who promises one of the best West Coast parties of the year. “Jockeys, trainers, celebrities, professional athletes from all sports and thoroughbred racing’s elite will be in attendance to support the event,” he said. “There are some 2,000 jockeys in the United States, and they have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world,” added DeHaven. “Many of them have to work without adequate health insurance, life insurance or retirement fund, which puts a severe hardship on them and their families. I want this event to help make their lives easier.” Proceeds from the event will provide funding for two charities: The Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF) and The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation, which assists riders and others in the industry facing a financial crisis. “Permanently disabled jockeys depend on the PDJF for financial assistance,” said Nancy LaSala, executive director of the PDJF. “The

PDJF was established to provide long-term assistance to jockeys who have suffered on-track catastrophic injuries. Since its inception in 2006, it has been, and continues to be, challenged to meet its financial goals to meet the day-to-day needs of these men and women. We have great hopes that ‘Jockey for a Cause’ will help provide security for our injured riders and are very appreciative to Jeff for his commitment to these athletes.” “The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation helps not only jockeys, but many others in the industry in their time of need,” added Executive Director Nancy Kelly. “Trainers, grooms, exercise riders, hot walkers, farm workers and front office personnel turn to us, and we want to be there to help. ‘Jockey for a Cause’ will help us help those valuable members of the industry.” Tickets for “Jockey for a Cause” are available at www. pdjf.org. Further event and sponsorship information may be found at www.pdjf.org or www.tjcfoundation.org.

Stepfamily Nuances Dear Dr. Diana, I am a stepmother of two children (one boy age 11, and one girl age 8), and have my own child with my husband — she just turned 2 years old. My husband works full time and we have my stepchildren 50 percent of the time. I love my stepkids and don’t mind taking care of them. But, sometimes, I get really tweaked by their mom or how their dad, my husband, Dr. Diana Weisshandles things with them and the mom. Wisdom Then we get into fights and it’s just terrible. I need to figure out how to keep these things from getting so out of control. If I just shut up and don’t say anything, then I build up resentments and I eventually explode or start snapping at my husband and the kids over small little things. Do you have any suggestions for me? —Trying to keep my cool

TPHS student selected to compete at Pula International Global Challenge Volleyball tournament

Your Family Matters: Family adventures versus vacations

Chiara (C.C.) Schwab, a student at Torrey Pines High School, has accepted a position on the Southern California Volleyball Association’s High Performance Global Challenge Team. She was selected as one of 12 elite Southern California high school volleyball players to compete in the Pula International Global Challenge Volleyball tournament. The team (which includes some of the best SoCal juniors, sophomores and freshmen) will travel to Italy, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia this summer. The 10-day trip will include training with USA national coaches, sightseeing, and competing against other European youth national volleyball teams. Chiara also plays club volleyball for the Encinitas Wave Volleyball Club, where her team is headed to the Junior Nationals in two weeks, and finished the season 7th in Southern California division 1 volleyball. C.C. has been playing club volleyball for only three years, and got her start at Coast Volleyball. Before volleyball became her passion she was also a highly ranked junior tennis Chiara (C.C.) Schwab player. Were it not for girls volleyball and tennis being CIF fall sports, she would have loved to represent Torrey Pines High School in both sports.

BY DR. KEITH KANNER If you have kids, then you know the difference between an adventure and a vacation. Simply put, if you are an invested parent and your kids like you, there is no such thing as a family vacation Dr. Keith Kanner per se, it is always an adventure and that’s a good thing. Often times parents forget that 18 years goes very quickly and if you don’t realize that daily, time with your kids will slip by. Therefore, embrace the time with your kids and make the times together fun and adventurous. It is true that parents do need their own “down time” and it is also true that parents have to take care of themselves to be better and rested parents. But, this can be done separately from time spent together as a family. This is where the needed “date nights” for parents are essential, as well as a parent vacation when the kids are old enough to allow you time away from them. When children grow, they remember the constructive times spent with their families. For example, when families travel to foreign destinations, the learning is intensified because the parents were there invested

with them. Most adults reflect fondly to these times of childhood and adolescence and frequently remember them as positive for the trip was a constructive family event that all could share together. Vacations, on the other hand, are defined as relaxation. Very few parents are able to relax when they are travelling with their kids because kids need their parents as they cannot entirely self-manage themselves until they are adults. Sure, some vacation spots have kids’ programs, but why use them if your kids are only kids for a finite period of time? Picking a destination should also be a family decision. Children in both grade and middle school study different cultures and countries. Consult with them about ideas of where to go. From a financial point of view, economical adventures are also fun whether it might be camping or some sort of a road trip. The most important time is family time which form memories which last a lifetime. 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.

The Solana Beach Cardinals are seeking athletic baseball players with previous training and experience for its 13-14 year old team. Tryouts will be held on Tuesday, June 26, from 5-7 p.m. at Santa Fe Christian School, 838 Academy Drive, Solana Beach, 92075 (at the Turf Field).

Universalists present forum, exhibit on Hmong

O

n May 21, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Diego hosted a reception and social forum on the Hmong. On hand was Bob Montgomery, director of the San Diego branch of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), one of the leading international refugee resettlement agencies active in resettling refugees in San Diego since 1975.The forum focused on displacement of minority people in the world, including the Hmong in Laos and refugees in America today, and some of the themes represented in May and June art exhibit in the UUFSD Fellowship Hall. The exhibit centers on the themes of art and beauty, survival and resurgence, memory and social justice. These themes are shown in story cloths made by the Lao Hmong tribal minority and by photographs and descriptions of Hmong life in Laos, Thailand and in the US taken from 1968 to the present. Women and girls made the story cloths while they sat in holding camps in Thailand awaiting life as a refugee in the U.S. or elsewhere, or the chance to return home after the “Secret War” in Laos in the 1960s and 70s. (An estimated 200,000 Hmong lived in the U.S. in 2000.) Using their excellent appliqué and embroidery skills, the Hmong made what for them was a new form of art (pan dau in Hmong). The motifs in the story cloth collection are numerous. They include “idyllic” Hmong life in the mountains of Laos, the coming of the American CIA to arm some of the Hmong against the Lao revolutionaries and their Vietnamese supporters, and flight of those Hmong on the losing side across the Mekong into Thai refugee camps. One cloth even has a scene in which the artist shows her vision of a new life as a refugee in America, including living in

The exhibit’s sponsors, Roger and Nancy Harmon, have long known the Hmong. Roger for 45 years, beginning in 1967 when he ran an English language program in Laos. This was during the years of the “Secret War,” a proxy war fueled by America and other great powers at huge, and continuing cost (unexploded bombs and mines continue to kill). Later, Roger worked with refugees in the U.S. and in the camps in Southeast Asia where the collection on display was made. Since 2004 Nancy and Roger have become friends with Hmong families who were displaced to the margins of the city of Luang Prabang, Laos. These families continue the tradition of making and selling story cloths and other textiles in the night craft market.

Gaelic football’s popularity continues to grow in area BY JOE TASH Some local children are learning a sport that is relatively unknown in America, but dates back for centuries in Ireland. Gaelic football combines elements of soccer, rugby and even basketball, and its popularity in San Diego is growing. “It’s fast and you need skill to do it,” said Eoin O’Callaghan, 10, whose father, Brian O’Callaghan, is president of the San Diego Youth Gaelic Athletic Association, an umbrella organization for four local Gaelic football clubs. All three of O’Callaghan’s sons — aged 6 to 13 — play the sport. The association was formed in 2007, and there are now clubs in Carmel Valley, La Mesa, University City, and Irvine, said O’Callaghan, a local businessman who was born in Ireland. In all, about 120 boys and girls, ages 5 to 15, play the sport locally, O’Callaghan said. Men’s and women’s teams have also formed. The sport is similar to soccer, but with a key difference — players can catch or pick the ball up with their hands and carry it down the field. A few complications make it trickier than it sounds, though. Players can run only four steps before they must either bounce the ball, drop it and kick it back up to their hands, or pass it to a teammate by striking it with a blow from their clenched

fist. Players score one point by kicking the ball through a set of uprights at either end of the field, or three points by kicking the ball into the goal below the uprights. Gaelic football is not as physical as rugby or American football, but it is a contact sport, and players can bump shoulders with their opponents in an effort to gain control of the ball. Such shoulder-toshoulder contact is called “jostling.” “You might call it physical assault but we call it jostling,” O’Callaghan joked. The teams practice on weekdays, and come together for a tournament every two weeks. On a recent Sunday afternoon, players ranging from small children to adults battled on playing fields set up at Standley Park in University City. Angus Taggart of Carmel Valley said his two boys, ages 8 and 10, were playing in a local rugby league when the family heard about Gaelic football and decided to try it out. Taggart, who was born in England, said his father, a Scotsman, played rugby when he was in college. Taggart said Gaelic football and rugby provide a link to the family’s heritage, while also serving as a physical outlet for his sons. “There’s coordination between hands and feet. I think it’s got a good range

of skills for kids,” Taggart said. His sons have also played baseball, a sport in which players are often inactive, sitting on the bench or out in the field. “With rugby and Gaelic football, it’s non-stop. A lot of running, very fluid,” he said. The local Gaelic football league is open to anyone, O’Callaghan said, although many of All photos are from a Gaelic football tournament at Standley Park in the players come University City on June 10. The matches represent different age from Irish or Irish- levels, from the youngest boys and girls to a women’s team that American families. played the older boys team. Many of the players are from Carmel Valley. Some non-Irish families have joined as well. “It’s fun and it’s not taken too seriously,” he said. The league does not charge a registration fee, and instead is supported through fund-raising events. While Gaelic football is just coming into its own in Southern California, the sport is very popular back east, with The sport is also exmatches, O’Callaghan said. hundreds of teams tremely popular in Ireland, For more information in large cities such as Chicawhere amateur adult about Gaelic football, visit go, Boston and New York, leagues draw tens of thouwww.sdygaa.com, or call said Jim Foley, a league supsands of spectators to large O’Callaghan at 858-232porter who lives in San Distadiums for important 8330. ego.

Lobster tales and other fish stories for National Seafood Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN For devoted pescavores, here’s a primer on getting the best and most out of this delightful treasure of the sea. Bottom-feeders Can you believe, lobster was once a poor man’s food and even used as bait for fish when it was good and plenty in the frontier days of Davy Crockett? A cousin of mine grew up in a small maritime fishing town in Nova Scotia that boasts the world’s largest lobster on record — a heavyweight toppling the scales at 44 pounds. Since it takes 5-7 years for a lobster to reach one pound (typical market size) you do the math on this Methuselah of crustaceans. the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. Said sale will be held on: JULY 11, 2012, AT 10:30 A.M. *AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE BUILDING 321 NORTH NEVADA STREET OCEANSIDE, CA 92054 At the time of the initial publication of this notice, the total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the above described Deed of Trust and estimated costs, expenses, and advances is $2,646,370.77. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed

There are boy and girl lobsters. In lobstermen vernacular, the male is called a “cock,” the female a “hen,” the latter distinguished by a wider dorsal tail region to accommodate premature eggs or roe that give bisque an intense lobster flavor. So if you enjoy a meatier tail, go for the girl. Death by boiling Lobsters are not the sharpest creatures in the sea; their miniscule brains resemble a grasshopper’s tangled mass of ganglia, supporting lobstermen’s claims that the creatures experience little pain when boiled alive. To appease lobster-advocates, the recommended method is to immerse the crustaceans into ice water to anesthetize them prior to boiling. To prepare a sweet and tender lobster, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the lobster (numbed in ice water, if you wish). Cover and bring to another boil. Simmer, letting it poach for about 5 minutes for a oneand-a-quarter-pounder, 2 minutes for each additional pound. Lobster must be cooked like Baby Bear’s porridge – just right. Don’t overcook unless you want a one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 480-5690 or (800) 8430260 ext 5690 or visit this Internet Web site: http://www.tacforeclosures. com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case B532493 B. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verity postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: June 11, 2012 T.D. SERVICE COMPANY as said Trustee, T.D.

Pacific Ridge student receives Green Leadership Award Elle Lichter, a senior at Pacific Ridge High School, received recognition for her leadership in implementing a green battery program at her school. When she first heard of SaveME batteries, the green, affordable and high performance alternative to traditional, disposable alkaline batteries, she was very interested in introducing them to her school. She connected with the San Diego-based company to learn more about their refillable batteries and with her leadership, Pacific Ridge is now the first high school to convert completely to the SaveMe green battery program. “The program Elle has implemented has been well received and will now serve as a model for other interested schools across the nation. Elle wanted to do a senior project that left a legacy at her school after she graduated this year and Pacific Ridge has always had a strong commitment to sustainability so a green battery program was the perfect fit,” said Joe Yeagley, cofounder SaveME batteries.

Lobster tales and other fish stories for National Seafood Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN For devoted pescavores, here’s a primer on getting the best and most out of this delightful treasure of the sea. Bottom-feeders Can you believe, lobster was once a poor man’s food and even used as bait for fish when it was good and plenty in the frontier days of Davy Crockett? A cousin of mine grew up in a small maritime fishing town in Nova Scotia that boasts the world’s largest lobster on record — a heavyweight toppling the scales at 44 pounds. Since it takes 5-7 years for a lobster to reach one pound (typical market size) you do the math on this Methuselah of crustaceans.

There are boy and girl lobsters. In lobstermen vernacular, the male is called a “cock,” the female a “hen,” the latter distinguished by a wider dorsal tail region to accommodate premature eggs or roe that give bisque an intense lobster flavor. So if you enjoy a meatier tail, go for the girl. Death by boiling Lobsters are not the sharpest creatures in the sea; their miniscule brains resemble a grasshopper’s tangled mass of ganglia, supporting lobstermen’s claims that the creatures experience little pain when boiled alive. To appease lobster-advocates, the recommended method is to immerse the crustaceans into ice water to anesthetize them prior to boiling. To prepare a sweet and tender lobster, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the lobster (numbed in ice water, if you wish). Cover and bring to another boil. Simmer, letting it poach for about 5 minutes for a oneand-a-quarter-pounder, 2 minutes for each additional pound. Lobster must be cooked like Baby Bear’s porridge – just right. Don’t overcook unless you want a
