Community workshop to be held July 21, sale of building one option “The historic Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club has owned and operated its clubhouse in the center of Rancho Santa Fe since 1972 but, with changing times, the board of directors is wondering if its purpose is still relevant to the club and the community.

For many years the clubhouse has served as the center for club events, village activities and to this day still

hosts events such as Cotillion, school graduations, Association meetings, Cal State Osher Continuing Education lectures, Scripps lectures, concerts, weddings, galas, memorials and more. ‘“The clubhouse has meant so much to so many for so long,” said Club President Helen DiZio. But pres-

Polo property lease situation still in limbo City says request for bids likely to be issued ‘this summer’

BY KATHY DAY While city officials still haven’t decided when to request bids for a new lease on the 80 acres that’s home to the San Diego Polo Club, life goes on for the club and the organizers of the Surf Cup soccer tournament.

The land, which the city acquired as part of the development of Fairbanks Ranch, has been used by the polo club since 1986 for its matches and offices. City officials decided late last year to request new proposals for the lease, even though club officials proposed their own rent increase in exchange for a new lease.

Noting that the club has not seen anything from the city, club president Ron Bonaguidi said, “For now, it’s business as usual. … We pay rent and keep moving forward.”

The club pays $9,842 a month to the city and subleases the property to raise money to help support and maintain the property. One of the groups with a sublease is the

Surf Cup soccer tournament, which is gearing up for the 2012 competition that will draw about 7,500 participants.

The club also subleases the site for lacrosse tournaments and corporate and charitable events.

Last week Alex Roth, spokesman for Mayor Jerry Sanders, said it will likely be “this summer” when the request for proposals is issued.

“We’re not saying anything definitive at this point,” he added.

When asked about the situation in March after the polo club’s lease expired, Roth said the city would “evaluate all the bids that come in from the standpoint of what’s best for the city in terms of economically, (and) the way it would fit into the community. We are looking to have a tenant in there that uses that facility in some way

RSF Association memberships suspended for delinquent payments

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association suspended the membership privileges of 19 Covenant members who are delinquent in paying their second installment of the 2011-2012 assessments.

According to Steve Comstock, RSF Association chief

financial officer, these payments were considered late as of April 20. As of two weeks ago, there were almost 70 people who were late paying their second installment of the 2011-2012 assessment.

“We expect the list to diminish even further,” said Comstock. “These individu-

als have taken the dates all the way out to the end.”

In the first 2011-12 assessment payment, 25 property owners had their membership privileges revoked and by the time the Association came back for the lien it was down to seven.

The next step after sus-

pension, which takes away voting privileges and access to the golf and tennis club, is to place a lien on the property. A pre-lien letter will be sent and Comstock will return to the board on Aug. 2 to request liens of the 19 property owners if they still have not paid.

Buzz: ‘Unfinished business’

BY JACK QUEEN, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD PRESIDENT As the 2011/2012 fiscal year comes to an end, both Dick Doughty and I will be leaving the board and I thought it might be time for a little reflection on the last 12 months. It has been a real pleasure for me to serve for the last three years with Vice President Doughty. He has been a stalwart director and a real delight to serve with. His interest in the historical nature of Rancho Santa Fe and his tremendous institutional knowledge gives him the ability to always be ready to take up the banner for the Covenant.

Dick, I hope you will continue to stay involved.

In past “Buzzes” I have covered the Association’s accomplishments for the past year but there are a few things that I would like to title “unfinished business.”

First, with regards to the roundabouts, final comments on the EIR are expected soon from our community. Things have changed a lot since we requested roundabouts be considered instead of traffic lights on Del Dios. Improvements on both the I-15 and I-5 and 56 freeways, plus better access on Black Mountain Road have reduced traffic on Del Dios by approximately 20

percent!

Perhaps a new direction could be given to the County to hold off on any permanent decisions as to Jack Queen roundabouts. I feel they will forever change the nature of Rancho Santa Fe. The Association board took an important step forward on the Osuna project last week when it approved funds to reconstitute the outside facing of the Adobe, an important move to protect the adobe bricks and improve the appearance. In addition, funds were approved to prepare architectural documents so that bids can be obtained for the Adobe’s restoration. You may recall that the plans, which were presented to the board in 2008, were divided into three parts. Part one is now almost finished and it was completed on budget and consisted of removing the electrical boxes, etc. from the side of the Adobe and required undergrounding improvements to the entrance and the driveway.

The main house on the Osuna property is on the market and the Association has received several offers.

So what is next? The most exciting aspect, part 1A of the plan, restoration of the casa! The adobe will be restored to an interpretation of its appearance in the 1860s, or Rancho Period, although some later features, such as the Lilian Rice fireplace, as well as the tile floor in the living room which was added in the 1920s, will be retained.

Our family has been involved in the restoration of an adobe in Central California and I can tell you that it is a most exciting project. I am anxious, therefore, to see our community get involved with and complete this important piece of Rancho Santa Fe history.

Lastly, POTHOLES! Yikes! I think we have the worst roads in the County.

But great strides were made this year and thanks to Ivan and Pete, the pressure has been kept on the County.

We had many roads improved this year, now it is up to you to keep the pressure on them.

Good luck, thanks for a great year, and thanks to our wonderful staff for making the job fun and almost stressless.

Santa Fe Irrigation District Board approves Fiscal Year 2013 budget The Santa Fe Irrigation District’s board of directors approved its fiscal year 2012-13 budget following a public hearing at the regular board meeting on June 21.

“This balanced budget demonstrates the district’s ongoing commitment to disciplined financial management and funding of improvements to the water system infrastructure,” said SFID General Manager Michael Bardin. “The district continues to make infrastructure investments, as called for in the District’s Asset Management Master Plan and in SFID’s 10-year Capital Improvement Projects Plan.”

For the upcoming year, expenditures are projected to be $29 million. This total includes $7.7 million for water purchases,

$1.3 million for existing debt service payments and $6 million for capital improvement projects. The district anticipates that 40 percent of water needs for the coming year will be met with local water from Lake Hodges. Other than water purchase costs and funding for capital improvement projects, the operating budget does not increase.

“The district is taking a measured and prudent approach by prioritizing capital improvement projects that reduce the risk of more costly future repairs, and improve the efficiency of our operations.” Bardin said.

To view the adopted budget, visit the District’s website at www.sfidwater.org.

Re-sealing on RSF roads delayed until July The road re-sealing schedule for several Rancho Santa Fe roads has been pushed back once again. San Diego County’s department of public works construction inspection staff has been working to resolve testing requirements/procedures prior to the resurfacing and this has caused some delays in the schedule. Below is the tentative updated timeline for the first portion of resealing: Street Start date duration (days) Las Planideras July 19 3 Rambla de las Flores July 23 3 Via de Fortuna July 24 4 Los Morros July 26 3 Lago Lindo July 30 3 Mimulus July 31 3

RSF Association budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 authorized The RSF Association board approved the final operating capital budgets and schedule of fees for the fiscal year 2012-2013. The Finance Committee reviewed the preliminary operating and capital budgets and the schedule of fees on April 25.

Whispering Palms Community Services District gets new hedge

BY KATHY MCHENRY The Whispering Palms Community Services District (WPCSD) is the governmental agency responsible for the landscaping along Via De La Valle and Cancha De Golf for the Whispering Palms Community.

As part of the district’s ongoing landscape improvement plan, the district recently removed the long row of dead Oleanders along Via de la Valle, adjacent to Hole #4 of the Morgan Run Golf Course North Course.

The removal revealed a Admiring the new hedge are: Whispering Palms new screening hedge of Texas Community Services District board members: (l-r) Privet that was planted in July 2011, at a cost of $35,000. This Alan Arckless, John Mirza, Kathy McHenry, Phil Keep. project was funded from the WPCSD Landscape Improvement District, which receives its funding from a portion of the state-wide annual property tax revenues.

The Oleanders, which had been in place for 40 years, had become infected with leaf scorch caused by an insect called the glassy-winged sharpshooter. This leaf scorch also caused the removal of 13 Olive trees in the landscaped parkway between Via De La Valle and Via Valle Verde. Native California Pepper trees were installed to replace the dying Olive trees at an additional cost of $15,000.

Phase II of the screening hedge and beautification project will take place in the near future and will replace and supplement the Oleanders along Via De La Valle south of the community monument wall sign, at a cost of approximately $21,000. The project will also include the installation of new irrigation lines and the removal of some dead Oleanders and Eucalyptus trees.

These efforts are part of the continuing landscape beautification program that the WPCSD has been responsible for since its inception in 1987. The district also provides sewage collection and treatment services for the residents within its boundaries, which encompasses 2,615 acres and serves over 1,300 homes and businesses.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Man tries to abduct young girl in Solana Beach Sheriff’s deputies June 26 made public a sketch (right) of a lanky, tattooed 20-something man on a skateboard who tried to abduct an 8-year-old girl in Solana Beach.

The girl said the man tried to grab her near the 500 block of South Sierra Avenue about 3:30 p.m. Monday, June 25, sheriff’s Sgt. Clayton Lisk said.

The suspect, who was carrying a folding knife with a black handle in a back pocket, was last seen headed north on a skateboard.

At first, sheriff’s deputies said the girl said the man had a tattoo on the right arm, with ``Kill’’ across the knuckles. Later, sheriff’s deputies said the tattoo said ``I Will Kill.’’

On the right side of his torso, he has ``SEXY’’ tattooed, according to what the girl told deputies.

The suspect is white, about 6 feet 1 inch

and thin, with sunburned cheeks and shoulders, and short black hair, deputies said.

He was wearing sunglasses, black “lobe plug’’ earrings about the size of dimes, black cargo shorts, black Vans shoes — one with white lacing and the other with black lacing. The tank-top shirt he was wearing was striped in pink, blue and purple and emblazoned with “I’m not an idiot’’ on the front and “I’m not a jerk’’ on the back.

The skateboard was 3-4 feet long with a brown top. On it were written “KISS ME’’ and an image of lips. The underside had renderings of zombies eating people, the girl told deputies. Its front wheels were green and the rear ones yellow, she said.

If you recognize this man, call the Sheriff’s Department at (858) 565-5200. You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

RSF Tennis Club pros win national tournament (Left) RSF Tennis Club professionals Derek Miller and Allie Denike battled it out to win the National Hard Court Open in the mixed doubles division. Allie and Derek have been playing together and against each other since they were kids. All that time has paid off as they enter to play the mixed doubles draw at the upcoming Mercury Insurance Open July 16- 22 at La Costa Resort.

Elizabeth Rice Maget shares her business acumen with nonprofits Elizabeth Rice Maget is chair of the 2012 American Cancer Society’s Discovery Celebration, “Mission Under The Moon,” set for July 11 at L’Auberge Del Mar. She is also CEO of Innovative Employee Solutions, Inc. a provider of outsourced payroll Elizabeth Rice and HR services.

Maget is a 13-year Maget member of Vistage, a board member of IES, Junior Achievement, Med-e-cell, and most recently, of CEO’s Against Cancer.

She has received numerous honors, including The Monarch School Miracle Award and the YWCA’s Tribute to Women Award.

Other nonprofit organizations that benefit from her support include the American Cancer Society, YWCA, Ninos del Lago in Guatemala, and the Akilah Institute for Women in Rwanda.

What are you reading?

I’m reading two books right now — “The Egoscue Method of Health through Motion” by Pete Egoscue and “Our Divided Political Heart” by E. J. Dionne.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

In addition to my husband and me, I would invite my parents and my in-laws, Aunt Marthe and Diane Sawyer.

Who or what inspires you?

I am inspired by not-for-profits organizations like Junior Achievement, the YWCA and the American Cancer Society. The power of volunteers in our community is more than inspiring. In my retirement years, I look forward to giving back to these and others who make a difference.

What is your most-marked characteristic?

A smile for everyone.

What is your motto or philosophy of life?

Be kind to others, always offer a smile, and share what I can in time, understanding and support.

What would be your dream vacation?

Six months in Provence, France in a house high above Callian, 45 minutes from Nice.

What is your greatest extravagance?

Traveling to other countries long enough to learn and appreciate the culture.

Del Mar to hold ‘Race-Ready’ Horse Sale July 22 • Interested in buying a horse to race at the Del Mar meet this summer?

Del Mar’s first-ever “race-ready racehorse sale” will be presented in its paddock following the day’s card on Sunday, July 22.

The sale is expected to be-

RSF Art Guild to hold art show reception; Featured artist is Ron Spelman The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild will present Ron Spelman as its featured artist in the “From Eye to Heart to Hand” Show.

Spelman is not only a talented artist, but president of the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild, an active Rotarian, mem- Ron Spelman’s “Maybe Later.” ber of the La Jolla Art Association and former president of the San Diego Portrait Society. Spelman is a 40-year resident of La Jolla and former business owner of Spelman & Co. The Rancho Santa Fe Art Gallery will hold a reception on Thursday, July 12, from 5-7 p.m. for attendees to meet and mingle with several local artists and see their art. The exhibition will run during July and August.

The gallery is located at 6004 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe, and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.RanchoSantaFeArtGuild.org for information about membership and purchasing art work.

gin at approximately 6:30 p.m.

The idea behind the event is to bring out-of-state horses onto the Del Mar/California racing scene and to introduce new owners to the business in one-stop-shopping fashion.

Barretts Equine Limited, California’s premier horse auction company, will conduct the sale and hopes to present at least 20, and perhaps as many as 40, horses of all ages ready for racing at the Del Mar meeting.

The two pubs flanking the paddock – the Whittingham and the new 17 Hands – will be open for food and drink during the session, as will the second-level Veranda Café, overlooking the paddock.

Del Mar partner Sentient Jet has signed on as the sponsor of the event, which will be known as the “Del Mar Paddock Sale, Presented by Sentient Jet.” Many of the sale horses will be eligible immediately for advantages under the track’s “Ship and Win” program, which was a big hit when initially tried last summer.

Local investment firm negotiates $8 billion ship-building deal with Canadian government

BY JOE TASH Ordinarily, a much larger financial investment firm would have been sitting at a table with representatives of the Canadian government, hammering out an agreement to facilitate an $8 billion ship-building contract.

But there was local resident Todd Wilson, along with his partners in a small, San Diego-based company, holed up in a hotel conference room in Ottawa just a few days before Christmas.

“Nobody’s going home for Christmas until this deal’s done,” Wilson said in a recent interview, regarding his mindset at the negotiations in December 2011. Wilson and the other negotiators cancelled their homebound flights several times in an effort to push through to the deal’s conclusion.

“It was a long and hard, complex negotiation. When you got it done, you felt satisfied.”

Wilson and two colleagues, local residents Kurt Wickham and Joel Weinstein, founded W Partners, their investment advisory firm, in 2009. The company, which was based in Carmel Valley until recently, when it moved to La Jolla, offers investment banking services to companies in such areas as mergers and acquisitions, rais-

All three worked together at RA Capital Advisors in San Diego before setting up their own investment firm. Between the three, they have experience working with financial firms in New York, London and San Francisco as well.

“What we offer middle-market companies is unique in San Diego: Locally based M&A (merger and acquisition) expertise from a team that draws upon more than 30 years of investment banking experience including public and private companies of all sizes across a variety of industries,” Wickham said.

“Warren Buffett is famous for saying that he tap dances to work each day because it is so much fun.

I feel the same way, we really form deep relationships with our clients to help them execute critical M&A and financing transactions, and although it’s challenging to provide thoughtful advice, it is very rewarding,” said Weinstein.

According to Wilson, W Partners works with business owners who want to sell their company or raise capital to acquire another company. Among the tasks they might handle are assisting in determining a company’s value, identifying potential buyers and negotiating a deal.

Part of that process is learning

W Partners founders Kurt Wickham, Todd Wilson and Joel Weinstein ing capital, and other types of transactions.

The deal in Canada, concluded last fall and winter, was by far the firm’s largest, Wilson said.

Through a previous business relationship with Montana billionaire Dennis Washington, W Partners served as financial adviser to one of Washington’s companies, Seaspan Marine Corp., as it negotiated a deal with the Canadian government to build seven non-combat ships, including a polar ice-breaker.

After helping Seaspan win the ship-building bid, Wilson said, W Partners helped negotiate an “um-

brella agreement,” which serves as a framework for future ship-building contracts. W Partners is also assisting Seaspan in raising capital for upgrades to its shipyards in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, in preparation for the ship construction, which is expected to begin next year.

The three partners, who each have young families — Wilson and Wickham each have four children, and Weinstein has two — hope to leverage their experience in the Seaspan deal to assist U.S. companies in similar ventures, Wilson said.

about the specific business. “We want to understand the business as well as the business owner,” Wilson said.

Ordinarily, the partners target transactions in the range of $20 million to $200 million, but the Canadian deal turned out to be much larger.

As W Partners seeks to build on its early successes (they’ve completed five transactions to date), Wilson said he is seeing improvement in the business climate.

“There’s a definite sense of activity picking up,” he said. “We feel optimistic because there’s a lot of pent-up demand for quality businesses.”

When the partners are not researching or advising on business deals, Wilson said, they might be found coaching Little League baseball or soccer, or serving on a nonprofit board.

“We’re Wall Street guys but we’re in San Diego for a reason,” said Wilson, a surfer who travels to Fiji annually in search of waves.

“We don’t want to be living in a concrete jungle in New York.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Accomplished RSF screenwriter publishes first novel, ‘Primal’

BY JOE TASH After 20 years of writing screenplays for movies and television shows, Deborah Serra decided she wanted more creative control over her work.

Serra’s career decision resulted in the publication of her first novel, “Primal,” in May. Switching from scripts to books wasn’t the only major departure for Serra, a Rancho Santa Fe resident — challenged by the prevailing sentiment in Hollywood that women writers were best suited for comedies, romances or children’s stories, she determined that her first book would be a crime thriller.

“Primal,” which is available as an e-book for both Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and Noble’s Nook readers, is about a band of brothers who go on a murderous rampage at a resort in the woods of Minnesota. The main character is a woman — motivated by the need to protect her family — who confronts them.

Serra, a mother of three herself, first penned “Primal” as a screenplay and sold the film rights to James Cameron, director of such films as “Titanic,” “Avatar,” and “Terminator.” When Cameron decided to focus solely on scripts that he wrote himself, Serra was able to get permission to turn her script into a novel.

During her career as a screenwriter, she said, she had worked with many different producers, directors

Deborah Serra Courtesy photo

and actors, and had often received suggestions for changes to her scripts, even from hairdressers and makeup artists.

“It’s a collaborative art,” the award-winning writer said of screenwriting. “I wanted the freedom to do whatever I wanted.”

Along with “Primal,” she is working on two other books — a humorous travelogue about trips she has taken with her sister, and a literary novel that ties into her passion for science. The book explores such themes as consciousness and free

will, she said.

“It’s been quite liberating for me,” she said of her recent writing projects.

“Primal” gave Serra a chance to delve into the minds of her characters, including the murderous brothers. In seeking to sell the original screenplay, she bumped up against stereotypes held by producers, that women couldn’t write in the genres of crime and thrillers.

Serra recalled sitting in the office of one producer who asked her point-blank, “Did you write this?” When

she replied in the affirmative, he asked, “By yourself?”

The book chronicles the main character’s inner journey after she returns home from her encounter with the killers. The experience changes her to the extent that people around her think she’s going insane, and she loses her job, family and friends, Serra said.

The script was sent out under the name of D.A. Serra, so as not to give away the author’s gender.

“They wouldn’t have read it if it said ‘Deborah’ on the front,” she said.

As Serra becomes comfortable with writing novels instead of screenplays, she is also learning the ropes of a publishing business in which e-books and online media play an ever-larger role.

“It’s like the Wild West out there,” she said.

In September, she’ll embark on a “blog tour,” doing interviews with writers and reviewers for genre-specific websites, as well as sites geared for general audiences.

Among book-related sites she’s targeting are Bookslut.com, Bookgasm. com and Beatrice.com.

By appearing in such online publications, she said, she can build momentum for her book, and hopefully fuel sales.

One of the things she enjoys about writing books is that she can depart from the strictures of screenwriting, in which the action is driven almost completely by dialogue, to include narra-

Quick Facts Name: Deborah Serra Distinction: Author of new e-book thriller, “Primal.” She has written 10 TV movies, four feature films, and numerous TV episodes, including two years as a staff writer for NBC. Born and raised on the East Coast, Serra has taught writing at the University of California, San Diego, Wofford College and at writers’ conferences nationwide.

Serra was honored as a recent recipient of the prestigious Hawthornden Literary Fellowship, and as a semi-finalist for the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Award given by the Faulkner Society in New Orleans, La.

tion, metaphor and other literary techniques, Serra said. But her roots as a screenwriter keep her focused on the development of character as a primary source of inspiration.

“If you can create a character who’s whole, a real

whole person, and put them into a scene, you don’t have to write dialogue, it writes itself,” she said.

The preschool is being renovated this summer and will have a new look in the fall. Teachers were instrumental in helping to move everything out of the building into storage. The preschool building colors will be in alignment with the church’s décor.

The teachers have been visiting various schools throughout the county, collecting ideas and inspiration from other settings. Some of the workshops and trainings taking place are: ”Working With Children and Clay,” presented by local artist Alex Long, Handwriting Without Tears, and guest speaker, Brenda Stevens, M.A. discussing “Conscious Discipline” (a program developed by Becky Bailey). Teachers will continue with their staff development before returning to school in August, ready to move back into the newly remodeled building.

A future of hope? Choice must be made in author’s new novel set in 2050

BY KATHY DAY Even though David Brin identifies himself as a science fiction writer, he declares the genre has been misnamed.

It should be called “speculative history,” the local author and futurist said before a book signing for his newest work, “Existence,” last week at Mysterious Galaxy Books in Kearny Mesa.

“These are stories about the effects of change on individuals, peoples and generations.”

He circles around a lot of topics in his interviews, from the state of science education — we’re not as bad off as everyone thinks, he posits — to what “artsy types” think of science fiction — they “despise it.”

Be certain, though, that his interest in science fiction began with a love of history and he’s quite willing to talk about either or both.

While he says only 10 percent of science fiction writers are scientists — and he’s one — all science fiction writers devour history.

As a man who holds an undergraduate degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech, a master’s in electrical engineering and a Ph.D. in space physics from UCSD, he

Clarke Center for Human Imagination at www.clarkefoundation.org/the-future/ center/ brings a unique understanding of science and technology to his craft. Adding adventure and imagination, he has written more than a dozen novels of his own, collaborated with other authors on more, and published graphic novels, young adult novels and nonfiction as well as short fiction. One book, “The Postman” was made into a film starring Kevin Costner in 1997.

Writing was his “passionate hobby,” he said, noting that he figured he would publish a novel every five or six years while teaching and doing research. But, he added, “civilization had other

plans for me ... I had success at storytelling and that became the tail that wagged the dog.”

A third generation writer, Brin has won awards from Hugo International Science Fiction, the American Library Association and Nebula. (His daughter seems to be continuing the family tradition as she is now a journalism major at NYU who has designs on following in his footsteps. Brin and his wife, Cheryl, who he followed to Paris when she was doing her post-doctoral degree, also have a son at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and one at San Dieguito Academy who is working on his Eagle Scout project.)

More recently, with UCSD’s Sheldon Brown, Brin helped formulate the proposal for the newly launched Arthur C. Clarke Center for the Human Imagination and will be involved as the new center at UCSD moves forward. While his role hasn’t been determined, he joked that he will be “a grand old fart adviser.”

Brown was UCSD’s director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts until he was named to head the Clarke Center which aims “to develop, catalyze, and be a global re-

Author David Brin source for research, teaching, and value-added initiatives inspired by the singularly imaginative, multi-disciplinary legacy of Sir Arthur Clarke.”

Using all of the resources of the university — and with the support of all of its deans — the focus will be on collaborations around the world in technology, education, engineering, health, science, industry, environment, entertainment and the arts.

Brin, who blogs regularly, calls himself the go-to guy on extraterrestrial life and says he’s “best known as a ‘futurist’” who comments plausibly and entertainingly about trends in technology and society. He’s been featured at TEDxDelMar, ad-

dressing the question “Is Outer Space Still Part of the Dream,” has spoken to NASA scientists and, on July 14, he’ll be part of a panel at Comic-Con on “Traveling the Spacetime Continuum” and signing his recent work, “Existence.”

His first new novel in nine years, “Existence” is set in 2050. His website, which includes an illustrated trailer to the work with stunning art by Patrick Farley, teases readers: “Billions of planets may be ripe for life, even intelligence. So where is Everybody? Do civilizations make the same fatal mistakes over and over? Might we be the first to cross the minefield, evading every trap to learn the secret of Existence?”

He calls himself a hope-

ful person. “Only by studying history can you overcome cynicism and realize how amazing this trip has been,” he said. “Think about it. Our ancestors struggled hard. The best of them dreamed we’d be better off than they were. … At this rate our grandchildren may be amazing but we’ve somehow got to get across the danger zone of the next 20 years.”

That’s part of the message he’s trying to convey in “Existence” and why he picked the time frame for the novel.

In it, he said, “the prospects are neither all gloomy nor all sunny.”

Adding, “We’ve been very smart between now and 2050 at keeping disasters barely contained … then something new arrives that forces us to finally make up our minds about whether to deliberately choose a future of hope.”

With his wife on hand at last week’s book signing, the audience of more than 50 fans who seemed more like friends than fans was ready to hear some details as Brin basked in their attention.

“It’s nice to be back,” he said.

The Winning Recipe: An Exclusive Conversation With Irene Valenti, President of Valenti International We were recently granted the opportunity to interview Irene Valenti, President and Founder of the preeminent matchmaking company, Valenti International.

Q: What makes Valenti International so unique?

Irene Valenti: We offer a very unique and special service.

People really appreciate and value that we have a team of psychologists on staff that pro ile and interview perspective candidates to determine their appropriateness for the services we provide and also to get a deep understanding of who they are and what they are looking for in a partner.

Our psychologists also assist in matchmaking process and provide helpful feedback to our clients.

Q: What do you look for when assessing whether to take someone on as a client?

Irene Valenti: There are several factors that go into our highly selective approval process. First and foremost, they have to be kind individuals and treat others with great respect. We assess for things such as emotional stability, emotional readiness, realistic expectations, etc. which, combined with my secret touch and inely honed intuition, contribute to the amazing results I achieve. I’m constantly in awe of the caliber of men and women that we attract.

Our clients are extraordinary individuals who inspire me everyday.

Q: What is the Valenti Concierge Experience?

Irene Valenti: I have seen irsthand how dif icult it is for our clients to ind the time and make the right choices that are required to plan a romantic evening and how the lack of such planning interferes with a couple’s irst meeting.

I wondered what we could do to eliminate this problem, and that is how the Valenti Concierge Experience was born.

The way in which we introduce our clients to one another is very sophisticated and very romantic. We have an in-house concierge team that arranges and manages every aspect of the initial introduction from the venue, transportation,

accommodations, and cuisine. All details are tailored to meet the desires and privacy needs of our clients worldwide. This has been one of the most exciting and successful additions to our business and has affected the overall experience of our clients and the success of our services.

Q: It’s general knowledge that you are an extraordinarily gifted businesswomen with razor sharp intuition. You also seem to have a special gift for making connections with people and building trust.

What do you attribute that to?

Irene Valenti: That is very kind of you to say. The honest answer is that I truly love people and I’m not only interested in learning about them, but from them as well.

I also understand the differences between how men and women think and behave, and also that people may be looking for different things at different stages of their lives.

Additionally, I recognize that nothing in the world replaces the feeling of having someone special in your life. As for my strong intuition, that is dif icult to put into words, but I think it is a gift and I use it with each matchmaking decision that I make.

Q: Can you describe the feeling you get when you have successfully matched two people?

Irene Valenti: It is an extreme joy that is also indescribable.

There is nothing more rewarding for me than bringing two souls together. I always say that the best part of my week is coming into my of ice on Monday morning to hear all the positive client feedback from the weekend’s successful introductions.

Q: Can you share an example?

Irene Valenti: I received a note from one of our male clients a couple of days ago after meeting a lady we introduced him to for the irst time that said, “Irene, if my life ended today, I would be happy because I just had the most amazing two days of my whole life! Thank you so much for introducing us!” The lady that he met also submitted equally enthusiastic feedback which can viewed on our Client Testimonials on our website.

Q: You have such a strong commitment to philanthropic outreach programs, especially those that involve helping children and animals. What has inspired you to engage in these activities?

Irene Valenti: I have lived around animals my entire life and I recognize that our lives are greatly enhanced by love and companionship from animals. I have always embraced giving back to the community and many of Valenti’s clients share this same passion, particularly when it comes to equestrian-related activities. I currently have 50 horses boarded at the Valenti Equestrian Club and I also lend acreage to house rescued feral American Arabian horses at my personal residence for Pegasus Rising, a non-pro it organization that partners horses with humans to heal.

Q: I hear you have an exciting Equestrian event planned in the fall. What can you tell us about it?

Irene Valenti: The Valenti Foundation will be hosting a special equestrian fashion show for horses and their owners that will bene it the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe. This will be the irst event of its kind in San Diego and we are really excited to share it with the community.

Hole-in-One = 2012 Maserati GranTurismo convertible for golfer at The Bridges

Barry Robbins with his new 2012 Maserati GranTurismo convertible.

On Thursday, June 14, a beautiful “almost summer” day graced the 128 participants of this year’s 13th annual Men’s Member Guest Golf Tournament at The Bridges Club. Called The Chianti Classic, it is a coveted invitation to get and an outstanding three days of golf, festivities and great camaraderie. It is a chance for the members of The Bridges to show off their incredible club to their friends and family. This year 128 players playing in 64 two-man teams competed in 11 different flights and everyone had an exceptional experience.

One Bridges member, Barry Robbins, had a particularly exceptional experience when he stepped up to the tee box on the par 3 hole number 4 on the first morning of the tournament. Sitting on the tee box was a beautiful 2012 Maserati GranTurismo convertible valued at $147,660, which Ferrari & Maserati of San Diego made available for the first person to get a hole-in-one. Robbins turned to his playing partner, Jim Rohrstaff, and asked for a 6-iron for the 177-yard shot.

Robbins took dead aim and hit a beautiful shot which landed on the green and rolled

into the hole. The attendant monitoring the hole for aces raised his arms like a referee signaling a touchdown and Robbins looked at his partner and threw his hands in the air. The fellow players proceeded to go crazy.

Fernando Sustaeta, the sales executive with Ferrari & Maserati of San Diego who was at the hole, was pumped. He kept yelling, “It’s in the hole! It’s in the hole!” Sustaeta could not believe it. His company has sponsored close to 50 hole-in-one prizes over the past eight years the dealership has been in San Diego and this was the first time anyone made the shot. “It was unbelievable, just surreal. We pay for the insurance so it is great to see someone win such a beautiful car. Barry won a 39-month lease in one of our finest vehicles. I am so happy for him,” said Sustaeta.

Barry Robbins will always fondly remember this year’s Chianti Classic as he cruises around Rancho Santa Fe in a beautiful Maserati GranTurism convertible this summer!

In Loving Memory

Kramer & Martin

Owen W. Strange The firm of Booth, Mitchel & Strange, LLP sadly notes the passing of Owen W. Strange, one of three founding partners of Owen W. Strange the firm. Mr. Strange, George C. Mitchel, and Bates Booth founded the firm in 1955 and practiced for some years in the Rowen Building at 5th and Spring in Los Angeles, when Spring street was the heart of the Los Angeles legal and financial community. They were later joined by Norman Willian, and for some years the firm did business as Booth, Mitchel Strange and Willian, specializing in serving the insurance and surety bond industry.

A true Southern Californian, Owen was born in 1928 in Hollywood, Calif., grew up in the still rural North Hollywood and Studio City. He graduated from Hollywood High, took his undergraduate degree at Occidental College and his L.L.B. in 1953 from the University of Southern California where he was a member the Phi Delta Phi fraternity. He served in the Judge Advocate Corp of the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict and he was one of very few U.S. military attorneys admitted to the Korean Bar. A gifted trial lawyer, Mr. Strange was, for many years, a fixture in the Los Angeles trial and appellate courts where his stature, easy manner, and ever-present cigar made him a formidable courtroom presence. His expertise in health and life insurance matters, as well as real estate development and Savings and Loan law, were regularly sought after. He took a special interest in young lawyers and took time to mentor those who passed through his practice and the firm over many years. Owen was a member of the California State Bar, the International Association of Defense Counsel, the San Diego Bar, and the American Bar Association (Tort and Insurance Practice Sections). A truly accomplished lawyer and friend, he will be greatly missed.

In 1975, Owen moved his young family south to Rancho Santa Fe where the family immersed themselves in their new home, the beach and the family’s beloved cattle ranch in Temecula, Calif. Commuting between San Diego and The City of the Angels, Owen continued to build a nationally respected law firm. He and his wife Liz enjoyed traveling and visiting their friends and extended family. His engaging company, insightful wisdom and dry wit captivated everyone. Owen communicated eloquently and wisely, always with honesty, integrity and absolute discretion. His friendship, courage and spirit were freely given gifts that enriched the lives of those who were lucky enough to know him. He was a gentleman who always treated others with respect and uncommon courtesy, a quiet man who created a safe place in the hearts and minds of his associates as well as his friends. His

presence was strong, and he was a fiercely loyal man, a devoted father, a proud grandfather and an even prouder great-grandfather. A voracious reader, his passions for fishing, hunting, horseback riding, music, and opera continued throughout his life. He enjoyed good company and good food, always directed by a unique personal compass that was dominated by his honesty, integrity and constant, unswerving courage. Owen’s spirit, friendship, and unquestioned support of others were freely given gifts to many. We now celebrate his life with the same love and respect that he so shared with those who knew him.

Owen was also a proud and active horseman. In 1964, after several years of active horseback riding at the Saddle & Sirloin Club in Griffith Park, Owen joined Los Rancheros Visitadores in Santa Barbara. Founded in 1930, Rancheros has long included in its membership many prominent members such as Walt Disney, Edgar Bergen and, more recently, Ronald Reagan and his National Security Adviser Bill Clark. Owen fit right in as a member of the “4Q Camp.” Every spring, Owen joined his camp-mates for a week-long trail ride in the hills between the historic missions of Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez. His love of horses, good conversation, huge smile and remarkable wit made him excellent company on the trail year after year. He never rode alone. Now that he has joined the “Empty Saddle Camp” he and his endless supply of great cigars will be sorely missed. He truly broke the mold.

Owen was also deeply involved with the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Sous Commanderie de San Diego and was a founding member in 1982. The Chevaliers trace their origins to 1934 in Nuits St George in France where the first meeting occurred.

There are more than 2,400 members in the U.S. and 13,000 worldwide. The organization celebrates the wines, customs, and traditions of Burgundy. It was founded by winemakers who wanted to market their product and make the wines of Burgundy a household name. Owen was an active member, did not miss many meetings and relished the good fellowship of the San Diego chapter.

In addition to great wine, Owen was also an aficionado of great pastrami, and he would often take his law firm’s young associates over to Langer’s Delicatessen to share his passion. The firm intends to honor him with a lunch there.

Owen died peacefully at his home after long illness with his family members at his side. He is survived by his son Brian; grandchildren William, Greg, Sarah, Jessica, Richard, Kymberlee, Meladee, and Annie; great grandchildren Kendall, Kadynce, Rose and Billy. He was preceded in death by his wife Elizabeth, his sons Bill and Owen, and daughter Kathy.

A reception in memory of Owen will be held at his home in Rancho Santa Fe on July 14 from noon to 3 p.m. All are welcome.

Patriot Profiles: ‘Nothing else feels right after Combat Camera’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY There’s no crew to light the scene, no quiet on the set, no director yelling cut while shooting this film.

Night vision goggles might be the only light source, the noise can be nerve-shattering and there’s no time for retakes. Embedded with ground troops and armed with a digital camera, is a sailor clicking away and recording the ongoing fight for freedom. At the end of a long and often grueling assignment, she’s captured crucial information she must guard with her life.

Mass Communications Specialist 1st Class Cassandra Thompson said, “The Navy has just as vibrant a Combat Camera division as other branches of the Armed Forces. People think they’re the ones on the ground doing all the ‘cool guy’ stuff and the Navy stays on a ship. I’ve been in the Navy 10 years and on a ship two months.”

Out on patrol, MC1 Thompson is frightened, but not by what’s going on around her. “My greatest

concern is to do my job well because there’s a commander sitting in his office waiting on my footage to try and figure out what his next decision’s going to be.”

She flashes a catchy smile, “Plus, I’ve got SEALS on my team.”

She tells herself, “I have to get these photos because they’re going to be really upset if I come back empty-handed.”

She knows the success of current or future missions could depend on her imagery. COMCAM1 is recognized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) as an essential battlefield information resource that supports strategic, operational and tactical mission objectives, according to the Fleet Combat Camera Group Pacific mission statement.

Thompson came to America from Trinidad to go to college, earning a bachelor’s degree in journalism. She was halfway through grad school, studying mass communications at the University of Florida, when she joined the Navy.

“Although I had a job at

the Florida Park Service which I loved, I couldn’t see myself going very far in that position. I had all these dreams to travel the world and be a writer for Time magazine and all this other stuff.”

The Navy sent her to Bahrain in 2005, where she did a stint at Naval Central Command (NAVCENT) 5th Fleet Public Affairs. Her job was news writing (her strength) about anything going on in the Middle East.

“Public Affairs pride themselves on getting news to the world fast and accurately. We’re instructed to have the story out within an hour of the event breaking, even if it’s sensitive or tragic.” If all they know is there’s a fire on an oil platform, they have to report that while they continue to gather the facts.

Thompson heard about Combat Camera in Bahrain and didn’t know anything about it when she joined. “I don’t believe any telephone conversation can adequately prepare you for what a

Combat Camera assignment will entail.” She would soon find out. “When you go in the field, if you don’t know what your job is, someone will quickly educate you.”

Nobody gets into Combat Camera without passing Search, Survival, Evasion, and Resistance (SERE) school. Thompson explains, “Military personnel learn how to survive under austere conditions, avoid capture and, if all else fails, return with honor from a POW situation. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, captured in 2009 by the Taliban in Afghanistan, is reportedly America’s last living POW. He’s a constant reminder that SERE training may have real-life application.”

Before each deployment they complete a Basic Operations firearms training course. “It’s a lot of weapons,” says Thompson, who’d never touched small arms before. They must also know how to operate the camera equipment and put together a video or contact sheet. When out on patrol, you’re expected to bring back a minimum of five photos a day.

“There’s going to be evSEE PATRIOT, PAGE 26

Local artist invited to show work at Balboa Park’s Spanish Village Art Center

BY KAREN BILLING Local artist Sue Britt was recently accepted into Balboa Park’s Spanish Village Art Center, San Diego’s largest collection of studio artists. Starting in July, Britt will share her unique pieces of art in the medium of paper tapestry, using strips of paper to create impressive nature scenes.

Britt has been an artist all of her life, thanks to her artist mother who had her doing art projects from a very young age. Her creative spirit went wild with projects in sewing, painting, drawing, needlepoint and photography.

“I had lots of encouragement and I think that’s one of the most important things for artists, to be encouraged to be creative, take risks, give it a whirl, throw it up and see what comes out of it,” Britt said.

Britt went on to get her degree in architecture and practiced for six years before moving on to Peace Corps work, community development work, and then staying home with her children. “(Being a mom) is one of the most creative endeavors I’ve ever done,” said Britt.

Like her own childhood, she encouraged her kids to experience art at an early age and eventually brought it into their school classrooms. At one elementary school, she developed a writing and illustrating program for fourth grade students where the children made their own books that were put on display in the library. At Solana Pacific School, she led an art and science discovery program called “Whosit, Whatsit, Why.” “To me, that is a piece of life experience and the creative spirit…encouraging kids to get out there and experiment,” said Britt.

Britt didn’t stop at just getting children to be creative—she also started a group for her adult friends called The Artist’s Way. Britt based her group on the book “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron that outlines a 12week creative program with daily exercises and art projects.

“It’s all about discovering what you love, what you like to do and want to do,” Britt said. “It asks you how you see the world, to be creative and excited about it and want to put your ideas out into the world.”

The 12-week program has now lasted six years and, through the Artist’s Way, many of her friends have discovered not just creative

outlets but success in art fields such as writing and photography.

Britt has been playing with the art of paper tapestry and paper boxes for the last five years.

“It was just something fun I did on the side. I love paper and got to use it in an interesting way,” Britt said.

“Although I’m not practicing architecture anymore, all those skills about design, balance and seeing, carries over to what I do now, My work has a 3-D feel to it, there’s a lot of structure.”

Strips of beautiful and colorful handmade paper are cut, wrapped and weaved to create a picture.

She creates shadow and edge by adding a backing of twoply illustration board to the strips of paper so it doesn’t just lay flat but has depth.

“There’s a lot of room to be explored (in paper tapestry) and I expect to be exploring this for a long time,” Britt said.

Her goal is to create art that tells stories and she is most drawn to nature stories, such as the changing color of the bark of Madrona trees on San Juan Islands.

The first year she was in San Diego was right after a big fire and she was inspired by watching burned areas come back to life. One of her pieces shows bright green grass sprouting from the charred earth, a brilliant and colorful root system shown underneath the black.

“It’s a story of rejuvenation, I love that and how it ties into our lives,” said Britt, who is also an avid hiker. “I find that very inspiring.”

She carved out a studio for herself in the garage, with Ikea shelves fully stocked with art books boxing her into a cozy, creative corner. Stacks of pretty paper surround her worksta-

tion as well as pieces of her mother’s copper enamelist works that she is incorporating into her paper boxes.

A new piece she is working on sprouted from her learning about yucca plants and how they live for seven years before dying.

Her piece takes a cue from tree rings, with purple rings representing the yucca’s seven-year life.

“When I learned about that I wanted it to be a part of my art so I could tell people that story so they know that when they go out into nature,” Britt said. “You connect more when you know the cycle of the world around you.”

She has only recently begun showing her work and will be a part of the Coronado Art Walk in September.

Her entrance into Spanish Village came from a chance encounter with one of the artists while she was on a visit there. In talking about her art, the artist encouraged Britt to try to get into the village, a process that involves applying to a twice-yearly jury. There are 40 studios in the village and more than 100 artists there.

Britt successfully juried in and will work a couple days a week in a studio with three other artists, starting in July. As a member of the village, artists can also have a tent in the courtyard whenever they want.

The experience of how she got there is exactly why she is excited to be in the Village.

“I’m excited about talking and sharing with other artists,” Britt said.

Spanish Village studios are open every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.spanishvillageart.com. For more on Sue Britt, visit www.PaperTapestry.net

Shakespeare Festival under way The Old Globe Theatre’s 2012 Shakespeare Festival features three classics playing in repertory through Sept. 30 in the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre: • ”As You Like It” follows flirtation, friendship and mistaken identity in one of Shakespeare’s mostbeloved comedies. Rosalind escapes into the forest and adopts the persona of a man to get close to her beloved Orlando. But when he falls for another woman, she must untangle the web of deceptions she has woven to win her true love. Directed by Adrian Noble.

• “Richard III” is one of Shakespeare’s most diabolical and outrageous villains. As the power-hungry lord sabotages those around him with cunning and treachery in his quest to seize the English crown, his tenuous path to victory begins to crumble. Royal Court Theatre director Lindsay Posner makes his Old Globe debut with this riveting portrait of obsession and betrayal.

• “Inherit the Wind,”

by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee tells the story of a schoolteacher put on trial for teaching Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution, and the two powerhouse lawyers who clash on issues of faith and science.

Adrian Noble directs the courtroom drama loosely based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial.

“REACHING NEW HEIGHTS!” A CHILDREN’S BOOK DRIVE FOR THE CITY HEIGHTS WEINGART LIBRARY! Kids Korps USA is partnering with the City Heights Weingart Library to promote a Summer Reading Program, and is asking community members to support us through a large-scale book drive! Kids Korps runs an Urban Outreach program in City Heights supporting the local students and providing meaningful monthly service projects, empowering the students to become positive community change-makers! It’s important to us that our Urban Outreach students have access to other vital community benefits aiding in empowering them as strong individuals, including education — and a fully-stocked library filled with current books to captivate students’ attention is essential to that equation!

Did you Know?

•Students can lose up to 25 percent of their reading level over the summer.

•Students can lose up to three months of their education over the summer.

•This loss is cumulative – so by the time a student enters high school or middle school, he or she could be years behind grade-level standards.

This can be prevented – by reading!

Reading just four books over the summer can prevent the summer slide, and can actually increase a student’s reading level. The City Heights Weingart Children’s Library is currently pretty limited in its offerings, and lacks many of today’s popular children and teen series. Will you help us collect New (or very gently used) books to help restock the library with fun and captivating educational materials for the children in City Heights?

New books will be collected at the Kids Korps offices between June 25-July 20 Location: 2210 Encinitas Blvd., Suite N, Encinitas, CA 92024.

Scientists find protein effects psoriasis and wound care RESEARCH REPORT

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder of out-of-control skin cell proliferation.

LYNNE For hardFRIEDMANN to-heal Science writer wounds, the problem is just the opposite: Restorative skin cells don’t grow well or fast enough. An international team of scientists, led by the UC San Diego School of Medicine, report on a molecule that may lead to new treatments for both conditions.

Researchers analyzed skin biopsies of patients with and without psoriasis, as well as the skin of mice with psoriasis and with wounds. They discovered that the molecule regenerating islet-derived protein 3-alpha (REG3A) is highly expressed in skin cells during psoriasis and wound-

healing, but not under normal skin conditions.

In tests on mice, researchers found that inhibiting REG3A slowed woundhealing but cleared up psoriasis. Thus, a drug that inhibits the expression of REG3A could represent a targeted way to treat psoriasis without the systemic immunosuppression problems of current treatments. Conversely, a drug that stimulates or mimics REG3A could boost cell growth and improve wound healing.

The findings appear in the journal Immunity. News release at http://bit.ly/ KX81Nh. Reversing Huntington’s disease symptoms A drug treatment has been shown to silence the mutated gene responsible for Huntington’s disease, slowing and partially reversing progression of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder in animal models.

Huntington’s disease afflicts approximately 30,000 Americans, whose symptoms include uncontrolled movements and progressive cognitive and psychiatric problems. The cause is a single-gene mutation which re-

sults in the production and accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain. Currently, there is no effective treatment.

Researchers at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (UCSD School of Medicine) infused mouse and primate models of Huntington’s disease with onetime injections of a DNA drug that selectively binds to and destroys the mutant gene’s molecular instructions for making the toxic protein. A singular treatment produced rapid results: Animals moving better within one month and achieving normal motor function within two. The benefits also persisted nine months, well after the drug had cleared from an animal’s system and production of the toxic proteins resumed.

The findings appear in the journal Neuron. News release at http://bit.ly/MmdXzv. Nanocubes for next generation antennas, lenses Researchers at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have developed a technique that enables metallic nanocrystals to

spontaneously self-assemble and organize into complex materials for next-generation antennas and lenses.

The research comes from the new field of nanoplasmonics; the goal of which is to develop materials to manipulate light using structures smaller than the wavelength of light itself.

Nanocubes used in this study were less than 0.1 microns; by comparison, the breadth of a human hair is 100 microns.

Normally when cubes stack, they pack side-by-side.

A new method was developed to graft polymer chains to the cube surfaces. Shorter polymer chains caused cubes to stack normally, while placing long polymer chains produced edge-toedge stacking. This ability to create macroscopic films of nanocubes with two different orientations allowed for the reflection and transmission of different wavelengths of light.

The findings appear in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. News release at http:// bit.ly/LWMLJC. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer.

PATRIOT continued from page 16 ery branch of the military on the ground in one Forward Operating Base (FOB) with one mission spelled out in detail,” Thompson said. “Maybe in this area they need more reconnaissance or that area more community action, or intelligence over there because something’s going on and they want to expand their knowledge.”

The imagery of a COMCAM professional not only serves the mission, but can offer unforgettable emotional impact.

MC1 Thompson remembers when the Navy teamed up with Medical Civilian Action Program (MEDCAP) in the Philippines.

“I had no idea cleft palate could be so prevalent. Little children were lined up out the door waiting to see the volunteer surgeons of ‘Operation Smile.’ In these rural areas, if you have that deformity you’ll be locked away and no one will ever see you.

It’s really cool these kids get a second chance at life.”

From heart-wrenching to heart-pounding, Cas-

GARDEN continued from page 1 ently, the clubhouse is unused about 70 percent of the time, community use is about 20 percent, and actual Garden Club usage is about 5 percent, with the remaining use being rental of the facility to outside customers.

“At the Garden Club’s Annual Meeting, Executive Vice President Steve DiZio outlined and presented the State of the Club Address.

The mission of the Garden Club, which is a 501-C(3), non-profit corporation, is as its name implies, related to gardening and beatification of the village. The clubhouse, if used as a revenue source for the club, can contribute to the club accomplishing its goals and, as such, is a valuable resource for the club.

“A study of the “business” operation of the facility over the years, however, reveals a situation where maintenance of the clubhouse has been a severe burden on what is in essence a volunteer organization. Hiring of staff to

sandra can’t really predict what will end up in her viewfinder. A rare photo she snapped while documenting counter-piracy won her a “2010 Military Photographer of the Year” award. Somali pirates had taken over the seas and were holding ships hostage — and killing people. A group of nations came together as a combined task force to patrol the oceans.

The original plan was to apprehend them and send them to a chosen African country to be held at trial, but money to feed, clothe and shelter all these pirates became everyone’s problem. “In the end,” reports Thompson, “we [left] them out in the middle of the ocean with just enough gas to get back to Somalia and we [blew] up the Mother ship that had the rest of the barrels of oil.”

MC1 Thompson knows why people who leave Combat Camera fight tooth and nail to get back, because nothing else feels right after that. “I have no idea what other job I could do that would be as amazing as this one. I’m happy people will know what our part was in America’s history in the war and for being able to see the way world events took place.” generate revenue has rarely returned sufficient revenue to pay for the staff, let alone generate income, thus leading to repeated “management” crises for the organization. One clear solution would be to dispose of the clubhouse, or its operational responsibility, and use the proceeds to carry out the mission of the club with the available volunteer membership. ‘“The options being considered include partnership with a local nonprofit or business for use and operation of the facility, lease of the unused time to a commercial entity, or outright sale of the building to the highest bidder,” said DiZio. “We believe the property is a gem in our community but without major community involvement and support we’re not sure we should maintain it.”

“With this problem in mind, the Garden Club is conducting a community workshop on Saturday, July 21, at 1 p.m., for the purpose of exploring the options and importance of the building to the com-

With a sold-out crowd, the highly anticipated La Femme Chic Consignment Boutique VIP One Year Anniversary Party proved that sensible fashionistas know how to shop, celebrate and save big bucks all at the same time. It’s been one year since the Boutique began fashionista makeovers for North County San Diego residents by providing “love-me” merchandise at “buy-me” prices and they recently celebrated their success at their VIP One Year Anniversary Party Fashion Show event.

The fashionistas also dug deep into their hearts, raising more than $1,300 for the local nonprofit organization the Greyhound Adoption Center.

The hope is that interested community members will be present to assist in planning a direction for the use and/or disposition of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club clubhouse. All interested parties are encouraged to attend. Please register for the workshop at RSFGardenClub@gmail. com.

“The Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club was founded in 1926 to further the advancement of gardening and landscaping in the community of Rancho Santa Fe. With more than 600 members, the club serves the community through service, social and educational programs. The club’s primary financial support comes from donations and bequeaths, rental of its facilities, sales in its thrift shop, and membership dues.

POLO continued from page 1 related to recreation.”

How the property is used is also a concern for the San Dieguito River Park JPA officials and Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley, an environmental group.

Susan Carter, the JPA’s deputy director, said Monday they haven’t heard anything more on where the city is on seeking new bids, noting that they check in regularly for updates.

“We want to make sure that the uses the city envisions are what is in the (request for proposals) and makes it clear what the constraints (on the property) are,” she added.

The club launched the 2012 season with an open house on June 2 and on

June 24 hosted the Senetable Cup Finals, an event that supports Prince Harry’s and Prince William’s charity to support orphans and children in Lesotho. On July 1, the club will host the PanAmerican Cup Finals; the season wraps up on Sept. 30.

“We hope we’ll be here another 25 years,” Bonaguidi said, noting that members are currently making the rounds of local community groups to keep them informed about where they stand with regards to their future plans.

They’re also taking a break in their schedule the weekends of July 28-30 and Aug. 4-6 so the Surf Cup tournament can have full access to the fields.

“Kids come from all over for this event,” Bonaguidi said. “They have a great time.”

With high technology, UCSD students fashion new world of art

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY WILL BOWEN If you’re interested in the latest developments, discoveries and directions in technology and computing — especially as they affect the arts, media and music — the place to be is the Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts and Music (ICAM) major presentations, held at the end of the school year each June on the UCSD campus.

2012 marks the 12th year that the ICAM presentations — a joint venture of both the Visual Art and Music Departments — have taken place. This year they were held in the Mandeville Annex Art Gallery and the Calit2 Digital Theater, June 13-15. Peter Otto, a Professor of Music, headed up the activities.

“This year’s projects were more practical and geared more toward the job market,” Otto said.

“The overall concern was with historical themes, popular culture, pop music, mainstream media, and movie soundtracks. Many of the data visualization models could be considered as works of art in and of themselves.”

The most powerful current that ran through the students’ works pointed out how improvements in computer technology can aid in historical research and help create new art out of old art.

Cassandra White with her art project composed of shadows, titled ‘Displaced Persons’ PHOTOS: WILL BOWEN

The new technology also makes it much easier for independent enterprise by individuals who can now compete with the big companies in the marketplace.

For his project, Cyrus Kiani researched the new Library of Congress website called chronoclingAmerica.loc.gov. On this site you will find complete issues of many of American’s newspapers dating back into the 1800s; excit-

ing news for historians who like to pour through old newspapers looking for old tidbits.

Kiani transformed his research into both data visualization and art by flashing, on a screen, the front page of each issue of The Hawaiian Star from 1883 to 1912.

As the pages flashed you could clearly see the trends in layout, design and typography at the paper over time. Kiani hypothesized that many of the changes were due to readers having much less time to read.

“As our computers get better and faster and our technology improves, we are better able to visualize more data from media. This is called the ‘Second Industrial Revolution,” Kiani noted.

Cassandra White took the postmodern notion that we should pay more attention and give greater voice to the marginalized. She weaved the notion in with her interest in the writings of Flannery O’Connor to create a project called “Displaced People.”

White shined a light from above down on a hanging wall sculpture made of cut paper to create an artistic image of a marginalized person, such as a farm worker, composed entirely of shadows.

Tera Miller studied the covers of Vogue magazine for her project.

“As I was working with the cut paper and the light, I found images. I kept witling these images down until I found an organic image of a person,” White explained.

Tera Miller took the artwork from the cover of every single issue of Vogue magazine from 1902 to 2011, then shrunk them down and laid them out side by side to reveal patterns in the cover design.

The earliest issues were quite different from later ones because Vogue started as a clothing pattern-making publication and only later morphed into a fashion magazine.

Miller also was able to create art works out of overlaid composites of the cover images, and from the three dimensional mapping of

different cover features (like color and hue) and from colorful scatter plots of covers based on things like density of imagery.

The computer technology Miller used would allow one to take aspects from Cezanne’s paintings and blend them with others from Van Gogh to create a new composite art form.

“My work revealed historic patterns and trends, such as when women’s liberation began to affect Vogue. The technology I used offers the potential to create new art out of old art,” Miller said.

Other presentations came from Ray Au Yeung and Aldrin Rayopay, who wrote and self produced their own musical CDs; Jessica Wu, who created an online–for-pay videogame called “Child’s Play”; Michelle Lin, who created a series of newsreel specials about developments in video games; Henley Wen and Jay Chow, who used computer technology to analyze the enormously popular DeviantArt website; Shawn Cornell, who shot a video of a band playing at the Casbah Night Club; Jeremy De Haviland, who created a videogame for learning to play blues guitar; Timothy Stein who took a whimsical look at data security; and Sam Dosher, who gave a live DJ performance.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS RSF’s Pacific Cielo offers natural anti-aging rejuvenation procedures

BY KAREN BILLING At Pacific Cielo Surgery Center and Medical Spa the focus is on natural alternatives to cosmetic surgery to make people look and feel better.

“What makes us different from everybody else is we are the only ones who use your body’s own resourc- Dario Moscoso, owner of es to give you a better body Pacific Cielo. for yourself,” said Dario Moscoso, president and owner.

Pacific Cielo opened in Cielo Village in November 2011 and offers anti-aging rejuvenation procedures, skin therapy and contouring, wrinkle treatments, and platelet-rich plasma injections.

Moscoso, a Del Mar resident, has been building and setting up companies in various fields for the last 38 years. He has been in computers, distribution and hospitality companies, and when he moved to San Diego was involved in wholesale real estate.

Moscoso wanted to reinvent himself and decided to take on a medical practice, partnering with a successful practice in La Jolla. Pacific Cielo is his first practice without a partner.

He did six months of research to decide on whether or not to open in Rancho Santa Fe. “The beauty and the serene environment of Rancho Santa Fe attracted me to it and Cielo Village has its own character of an Italian Tuscan village,” Moscoso said. “It’s been a really good experience for me here and everyone’s first comment when they come in is ‘I didn’t know you were here’ and ‘It’s beautiful.’ We hope to improve the communi-

ty, as well. We love it here and hope to get some of that love back.”

About 50 percent of Pacific Cielo’s clients come from out of town — patients travel from the Bay Area, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Texas and Massachusetts.

“People come from all over for the quality of service that we provide,” Moscoso said.

Dr. Scott Sessions is Cielo Pacific’s medical director and is a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience.

The practice focuses on natural alternatives, such as fat transfers instead of breast augmentation and the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for facelifts, breast lifts and aging hands and necks.

In the PRP process, which Moscoso has branded the Vampire Facelift, the practitioner draws blood which is paced into a centrifuge and spins the blood at a rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components. There are no incisions, just injections similar to Botox and the platelet rich plasma is activated at release to repair, strengthen and rejuvenate.

“A normal facelift is an invasive procedure that takes months to recover and it doesn’t repair anything, it just makes it look tighter which is really an unnatural look,” Moscoso said. “The PRP is nothing like that, it’s your own body’s repair mechanism, repairing and regenerating new cells.”

After a PRP procedure, a patient can walk right out of the office and return to work the next day.

Liposculpture is another specialty on Pacific Cielo’s menu. While liposuction just removes fat cells from the body and flattens it, liposculpture sculpts the body using state-of- the-art tools that make small incisions the size of a freckle.

“The body heals fast, there’s less trauma and the inci-

sion closes within 24 hours,” Moscoso said. “Most patients go back to work the next day.”

Pacific Cielo also uses radio frequency treatment to treat cellulite, non-surgical tummy tucks and skin tightening.

Over a course of treatments, they can tighten and improve skin laxity, sagging and wrinkling on the face, neck, jowls, forehead, arms, abdomen and thighs.

“When a patient comes in with a situation or problem, their self-esteem is down. We do PRP or lipo or any medical procedure and they walk about out of here feeling good about themselves,” Moscoso said. “That’s amazing and that’s the rewarding part.”

Pacific Cielo is located at 18029 Calle Ambiente, suite 507, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067. For more information, call (858) 756-5678 or visit www.pacificcielo.com.

At 95, woman shares life of healing, inspired by encounter with Jung

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

In the 1950s, Katie Sanford struggled to find her place in the world amid the conventional expectations of being a wife and mother. Fueled in part by psychological wounds left from the loss of her mother at age 7, she felt as though she was near death and, as a last resort, sought the expertise of renowned Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.

Now 95 and one of the earliest residents of Del Mar, Sanford is one of the last living people to have met and shared time with Jung, who has amassed a large following over the years for his theories and founding of analytical psychology. Sanford said she was invited by Jung to Switzerland because he thought her case might help him in his own studies, particularly those regarding his creation of the concept of archetypes — symbols or patterns that can shed light on personality.

“The level of material I was working with, the level I was operating on, was an archetypal level,” said Sanford, who recalls her bravery in traveling alone from Del Mar to Switzerland, via both airplane and the Queen Mary ocean liner. “He was curious and interest-

From left: Katie Sanford, 95, stands with her daughter, Lynette, in her Del Mar home of nearly 65 years. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN ed because it would relate to his work.”

Lynette Walker, Sanford’s daughter, was 14 when her mother left for several months to seek out Jung, who has recently emerged in popular culture as the subject of the 2011 movie “A Dangerous Method.”

“He wanted to make sense of her search for the meaning of life, which was so different than what women of her time were experi-

encing,” Walker said during a recent interview at Sanford’s Del Mar home. “In a way, he recognized that she was channeling something on a different level than the way most people were operating and it was powerful.”

Sanford said she and Jung shared the same psychological beliefs that “aside from our daily conditioning, the inevitable issues we pick up from our parents and education, one can make available

the information that exists in their dreams and fantasies.”

“To make sense of that information and incorporate it into your life, that’s what let’s you know who you can be as a whole person,” Sanford said. “You can take away everything that’s expected of you and be your authentic self.”

Both Sanford and her husband, the late Dr. Sandy Sanford, became trained Jungian analysts decades ago, and they were founding members of the San Diego Friends of Jung. The Sanfords began holding weekly discussion meetings at their home more than 35 years ago, and Sanford still keeps the meetings going today, having brought together dozens of like minds over the years. The San Diego Friends of Jung has also begun holding lectures at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, located at 334 14th St. in Del Mar. A notable teaching of Jung is that art can be used to alleviate consuming feelings and repair, restore and heal patients. More specifically, he wrote in his manuscripts that art expressions and images found in dreams can be helpful in recovering from emotional distress.

Sanford also saw art as more

than just recreational. Over the course of about 30 years, beginning in the 1950s, Sanford created more than 60 large-scale paintings, which she tucked away in a shed until Walker, her daughter, had them published 10 years ago. The resulting book, which has full-color photos of the paintings and corresponding written commentaries on each, came to be called “The Serpent and the Cross.”

Along with the paintings, numerous lectures given by Sanford over the years have been made into an archive that can be accessed in The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (www. aras.org), located in San Francisco.

“They felt her work is representative of the modern myth of where we are in the evolutionary process in relation to opening the feminine archetype,” Walker said.

“This is not the same thing as feminism; it’s a natural paradigm shift, a feminine Renaissance.”

For more information about the San Diego Friends of Jung group, and their lectures in Del Mar, visit www.jungsandiego.com.

There will be a new lecture series beginning this summer. For more information on Sanford and her book, visit www.serpentandcross. com.

Navigate the rows of the mighty maize with this primer The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN What better way to salute America on the Fourth of July than to rejoice with one of the staple crops of the fledgling nation – corn.

Corn of Plenty Squanto was the Native American savior of the New England colonists. He taught them to use the Iroquois’ “Three Sisters” method of planting. A pioneer of sustainable farming, Squanto believed the trio of corn (then called maize), beans, and squash were precious gifts from the Great Spirit, each sister an equal farming partner for fertilizing the soil and helping the others

thrive.

The maize crop was the “tall sister,” the one who had been specially cultivated to grow enough food to sustain a family for an entire year without harming the environment.

Stalk Options A bumper crop of locally grown juicy sweet corncobs overflows at farmers markets in time for July 4th feasts. Popular varieties include the white-pearly Silver Queen, yellow-kernelled Golden Bantam, and the bicolor checkerboard-patterned Ambrosia Hybrid. Super Sweet and sugary-enhanced hybrid varieties have been developed with higher than normal levels of sugar (12-20 percent), the latter divinely creamy and tender with a true old-fashioned corn flavor.

Dent corn characterized by an indentation in each kernel is used for animal feed and industrial needs, while hard-shelled Flint corn, aka Indian Corn, which comes in designer shades of indigo blue and rusty red, is used to make popcorn, cornmeal or for ornamental purposes.

over Frankenstein corn.

Sweet & Smoky American-Style Corn on the Cob (Where possible, use organics) Ingredients • 8 ears of corn • 1/2 cup maple syrup, dark amber • 1/3 cup unsalted butter • 2 garlic cloves, smashed • 2 chipotle peppers, smashed • Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste Method: Leave husks intact and soak corn in water for 1 hour. In a small saucepan, combine ingredients and heat on low until butter is melted. Keep warm. Pull husks down, remove silk, and then pull husks

Cream of Corn Corn is a multi-tasking, gluten-free grain masquerading as a veggie. Although high in carbohydrates, corn is low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, and is an antioxidant warrior with a motherload of dietary fiber, thiamin and folate.

Although most of corn’s calories come from carbs, it can be made into a low-fat, high-fiber, heart-healthy snack like popcorn, minus the salt and butter, of course.

Two corn warnings: It must be cooked (our guts

can’t break down the hearty cellulose in raw kernels) and corn also tends to cause mild inflammation because of blood sugar spikes. Standing advice: moderation.

Lost in a Maize There has been a lot of controversy about Bt corn, short for the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, which has been used to genetically modify corn’s DNA to impart an internal insecticide mechanism that repels pests.

Corn has also been hit with another toxin called Roundup, so that it can withstand weed herbicides without succumbing itself. Since

conventional corn has been clobbered with this double chemical whammy, best to buy unadulterated organic

Cornucopia • 400,000 farms from the Corn Belt to California produce nearly 10 billion bushels a year to make corn America’s top field crop; • Each ear is packed with 800 kernels in 16 rows; • Corn is an ingredient in more than 3,000 supermarket products, including distilled spirits, sweeteners, starches and soaps; • The world corn-eating record? 33 ½ ears in 12 minutes.

New, larger location allows Place360 Health + Spa owners to add services

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

It’s not uncommon for people to seek out high-end designation resort spas for the sake of having every upscale wellness service imaginable under one roof, along with a variety of credentialed practitioners.

But it’s not always practical to go on vacation just to improve one’s well-being, or at least that’s the mentality two local ladies had when they launched Place360 Health + Spa two years ago. Tucked away in the Del Mar Medical Arts Building, the facility has become a staple in the community for Chinese herbs and homeopathic remedies, among other spa services. As of last month, the business’s success has allowed owners Helen McCabe-Young and Tracy Whynot to open a larger location and offer more services at 1219 Camino Del Mar, the former site of Belloccio Salon and Boutique.

“There’s a lot of curiosity about Chinese medicine, but there’s some trepidation. One would actually have to book an appointment to learn about it, and not everyone is going to do that,” said McCabe-Young. “Now we have much better visibility and access to the community. Anyone can walk through our doors and get information about Chinese herbal medicine.”

Upon walking into Place360, a visitor will see a lifestyle retail area with an artistically-designed apothecary for custom-blended Chinese herbs. Place360 also sells custommade essential oils formulated for their own massage therapy treatments.

At Place360, clients can cobble together their own integrated wellness program that incorporates fitness, healing and beauty. McCabe-Young’s goal is to offer full integration under one big roof — and rooftop! (Place360 offers rooftop yoga and events on occasion.)

“Sometimes you may just need a massage or facial, but

PHOTOS: CLAIRE HARLIN if an injury comes up we can refer them in house,” said McCabeYoung. “Other times someone might come in for something serious like rehabilitation for a sports injury or an emotional issue or a digestive problem, and coming here may open their eyes to an entire path to wellness they could be taking.”

ON THE MENU: NEW DELIGHTS WITH AN OCEAN ON THE SIDE. SIP & SAVOR: DAY BOAT CATCH Available nightly in July from 5 to 10 p.m. $30 per person, $45 with wine pairings.

This three-course menu features fresh seafood options, including Coronado Island Sea Bass and Pepitas Crusted Yellowtail alongside perfectly paired wines.

FOURTH OF JULY SURF & TURF CELEBRATION Wednesday, July 4, from 5 to 10 p.m. $45 per person.

Savor a special three-course Surf & Turf menu featuring Black Pepper New York Strip and Butter Poached Lobster Tail, Smoked Pork Tenderloin and Diver Scallops, and Herb Crusted Lamb and Crispy Skin Local Sea Bass.

Summertime brings sun, fun and live music to The Shores! Enjoy a variety of live local musical performers on the oceanfront patio.

Located next to Kellogg Park at La Jolla Shores Hotel 888.691.3040 | TheShoresRestaurant.com Tax and gratuity not included. Menu items subject to change.

With the larger space, Place360 has added more fitness options, including pilots and yoga, to its menu of services, which also includes reiki, meditation, chi gong, tai chi, eyelash extensions, waxing, makeup, body scrubbing, spray tanning and acupuncture.

“We are constantly evolving and building our menu of services,” McCabe-Young said.

Whynot decided some 12 years ago that Del Mar was where she wanted to anchor because “it just felt right,” and after traveling the world for years, McCabe-Young also said she didn’t want to settle anywhere other than Del Mar. When it came time to find a new space for Place360, the two owners looked far and wide, even outside Del Mar, “but just kept looking because we really wanted to stay here,” McCabe-Young said.

“I always say my soul lives in Del Mar,” she said.

Local veterinarians team up to open Torrey Pines Animal Hospital

BY KAREN BILLING The new Torrey Pines Animal Hospital is now seeing furry, feathered and scaled clients at Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel Shopping Center. The clinic opened on May 21 and offers routine vet care, boarding, grooming, surgery, internal medicine and emergency coverage.

Three veterinarians with a wealth of experience between them, Dr. Jon Reuter, Dr. Andrew McClellan and Dr. Brad Steele, head up the hospital, offering “top-notch, quality care.”

McClellan, a Torrey Pines High graduate, is a familiar face to Carmel Valley. For the last 10 years he has worked at Pacific Petcare in Carmel Country Plaza, but leapt at the chance to start his own practice with a pair of vets and friends that all believe in the same style of veterinary medicine.

“A lot of clients have been able to find me which is fantastic and definitely is part of the reason to open up here and stay close by,” McClellan said.

At Torrey Pines Animal Hospital, the goal is to offer the community high-end medicine and diagnostics, the next level up in veterinary care. They said they offer reasonable options and experienced care with the most advanced, modern equipment.

“We’re advocates for doing what’s appropriate for the animal,

that doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive thing,” said Reuter, a Torrey Hills resident. “The quality of life of the animal is what’s important and we want to do what’s in the best interest of the owner and the animal.”

Good communication is key and Reuter said they really want to understand client needs.

“That’s his forte,” Reuter said of McClellan. “Establishing a relationship with the owner and the animal.”

All three vets are graduates of UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, although their time there overlapped and they didn’t meet until later. They were friends first, hiking and mountain biking buddies, and became business partners later.

McClellan said that from a young age he always wanted to work with animals, but wasn’t as sure by junior high school when he felt that pets were scared to be around veterinarians. But during his first year of college he started working at a vet hospital and he changed his mind.

“I started to think about it more in earnest and what I had to do to get there,” McClellan said. “I knew I wanted to work in the medical field and I always had a love and interest in animals. It was inevitable.”

Reuter grew up in Minnesota and was an active participant in

4-H. He also bred Yorkshire terriers and rabbits and showed them throughout the state.

He did his undergrad at UC Davis and stayed on for his veterinary studies, veering into lab animal medicine. He didn’t want to enter the practice vet field until the situation was right, where he could get into management and implement his own ideas.

“It took a long time to get here, a lot of thought went into it and circumstances aligned,” Reuter

Steele used to have his own practice in Vista and specializes in birds, reptiles, exotics and “pocket pets,” such as hamsters and Guinea pigs.

“Rather than compete with each other we decided to join forces and do it right,” said Reuter.

Reuter will split time between Torrey Pines and the Salk Institute where he serves as the senior director of the animal research program.

His experience with lab animals enables him to take care of rabbits, ferrets, and all exotics.

They hope as they develop a solid client base they can begin offering home health care where vets could do house calls. Both Reuter’s and Steele’s wives, Rani and Sophie respectively, are also veterinarians and may also fill in at Torrey Pines.

Their new space was formerly a single doctor vet practice for the last 20 years and since they have taken ownership, the hospital has undergone a major renovation and modernization. They have done a lot with a little space, giving up having a little more room by having such a great location and visibility in the community.

Right up front is a new “cat condo” area where cats get to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the back of the hospital. The condos can shift in size as needed and they can even create little jungle

gyms for the more active guys, Reuter said.

In the back they have an inhome lab, pharmacy and diagnostics, treatment rooms, and surgical space with new, up-to-date equipment. A digital x-ray works like a digital camera, allowing them to adjust resolution and zoom without exposing staff and patients longer than needed.

“It’s much more efficient and easier to send files to specialists or to client records,” Reuter said.

Reuter and McClellan aim to have a green practice — everything in the hospital will be digital from records to diagnostic x-rays and lab work. It can all be uploaded to the patient file in real time.

While the single-doctor practice of the past had its limitations, Torrey Pines wants to be able to meet any need, from basic vet care to major surgeries.

“We’re trying to be a one-stop shop for everything,” Reuter said.

Torrey Pines Animal Hospital is located at 3890 Valley Centre Drive, #101, Carmel Valley, 92130, next to Royal Dance Academy in the Piazza Carmel Shopping Center. The hospital is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Walk-ins are welcome but appointments preferred. Call (858) 7208724; www. torreypinesvets.com.

Your Family Matters: The importance of team sports (for kids)

By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. Do you have any suggestions that will improve my physique to prepare for the upcoming swimsuit season and/or rejuvenate my facial features?

A. We receive a lot of inquiries this time of year for a variety of figure enhancing procedures that we refer to as a “Summer Tune Up.�

One of the most popular procedures is liposuction. Liposuction as a way of refining the body’s silhouette that uses specialized suction equipment to remove small areas of fat from the hips, buttocks, neck, thighs, or just about any other area of the body. The recovery time is generally within three to six weeks depending on the area treated and patients’ individual healing process. After targeted areas of fat have been removed, patients notice that their body features appear to be more in proportion with each other and lumps and bumps give way to smooth contours, improving the fit of swimwear.

Another procedure we perform that often accompanies liposuction for a very natural result is a mini-tuck, which focuses on the midsection area. It’s less invasive that a traditional abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) using a smaller incision and requiring less down time. We treat a lot of male patients at this time of year to reduce the excess fat known as “love handles� around the waist, as well as women who want to reduce a protruding tummy. Good candidates for a mini-tuck include patients who have reached their weight loss goal, yet retain localized fullness in the lower abdomen, as well as patients who have weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. An incision is made horizontally across the lower abdomen and in most cases, the scar from this incision can be hidden by underwear and swimsuit bottoms.

After excess fat is removed, the surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles, secures them in their new positions and tightens the skin. The mini tuck involves less muscle repositioning and skin removal than a traditional tummy tuck, but your physician will know which pro-

June 28, 2012

Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD cedure you are best suited for.

A third procedure we often execute in the Summer Tune Up series is a less-invasive facelift that our practice has developed called the “Freshlift,� which requires much smaller incisions than a full facelift. An ideal candidate for this procedure would be someone in their forties or fifties who is not quite ready for a full face and neck lift, but is starting to notice some sagging in the jowl area. Along with the advantage of a shorter scar, this surgery usually has a shorter recovery period compared to a full facelift. People who find that weight loss, aging, and natural sun damage have caused the skin on their face and neck to sag may benefit from this procedure.

John Smoot, MD, is Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years.

Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. The practice has over 20 years of tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Any of the physicians can provide consultations on plastic surgery procedures and/or laser and skincare treatments at their Laser and Skincare Center and can be reached at their offices on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 587-9850 or via the web at sandiegoplastiscurgeryclinic.com.

BY DR. KEITH KANNER Just the other day, my friend Dave and I were discussing the benefits of team sports for children versus both individual sports and what kids learn in school. Being on a team enriches psychological develDr. Keith Kanner opment and maturation in very significant ways. Below are the valuable gifts that team sports offer to children, which are different from the benefits of both individual sports and formal education.

1. Team sports help children learn how to function as part of a group reaching for a common goal. Such sports force cooperation and a reliance on one another to reach a goal. This element can then be generalized to all other aspects of a child’s life, including group projects and also someday working in a venue with others.

2. Team sports help children tolerate wins and losses with peer reference for such experiences. When children view their peers going through similar experiences, it helps them both normalize and tolerate the feelings better.

3. Team sports reinforce the physical health aspects of sport. It is also often more

fun for kids to exercise in a group with some competition than independently.

4. Team sports are wonderful ways for children to put their emotions into something healthy and constructive. In fact, most children who play team sports do not use drugs or alcohol as frequently as children who do not exercise on a regular basis.

5. Finally, kids who play team sports tend to function better with both their siblings and parents at home because being a team member at home always makes things more functional.

The multi-benefits of individual sports are also plentiful but team sports bring more social benefits which are equally beneficial for a child or adolescent’s development. If you are interested in introducing the idea of a team sport to your child, let them pick the sport, not you, so they feel like it’s for them, not you and be their biggest fan. They will appreciate your support.

New clinical trial investigates novel treatment for challenging hypertension

BY DR. PAUL TEIRSTEIN, SCRIPPS HEALTH Most people who are being treated for hypertension or high blood pressure can recite a list of recommendations and treatments: watch your diet, get more exercise, manage your stress, take medication. Despite their best efforts, however, research suggests that 28 percent of people who are being treated for high blood pressure are considered resistant to treatment. As a result, they have three times the risk of cardiovascular problems such as stroke, heart attack, and heart failure as people whose treatment is successful.

Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. It is measured as two numbers: the systolic pressure exerted as your heart beats over the diastolic pressure between beats. Normal blood pressure is less than 120 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) systolic and less than 80 mmHg diastolic. Treatment-resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains greater than 140/90 mmHg in spite of treatment with three or more anti-hypertensive medications. Nearly 6 million Americans fall into this category.

Now, several medical centers across the United States are enrolling patients to participate in a clinical trial of a procedure that controls high blood pressure by regulating the activity of nerves lining the walls of the arteries leading to the kidneys. These nerves are part of the sympathetic nervous system, which helps the body control blood pressure by narrowing blood vessels or directing the heart to pump harder. In people with hypertension, the renal nerves are hyperactive. This leads to increased blood pressure and contributes to heart, kidney and blood vessel damage.

The Symplicity HTN-3 study is a clinical trial of the investigational Symplicity® Renal Denervation System™ for treatment-resistant hypertension. Renal denervation is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure that regulates nerve activity. The Symplicity Renal Denervation System consists of a flexible catheter and proprietary generator.

While the patient is conscious but sedated, the Symplicity catheter is introduced through a separate catheter placed through the skin into the femoral artery in the upper thigh, and is then threaded up into the renal artery leading to each kidney. It is connected to the Symplicity generator, which produces controlled, low-power radio-frequency (RF) energy.

Once in place within the renal artery, the tip of the

Symplicity catheter is placed against the arterial wall in several places where it uses controlled, low-power pulses of RF energy to interrupt the signals from the renal nerves. The treatment does not involve a permanent implant, and it is not known whether the changes to the nerves are permanent. Researchers believe the treatment may reduce the amount of medication patients require, but will not replace the drugs altogether.

The Symplicity HTN-3 study is a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation with the investigational Symplicity system in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension and systolic blood pressure higher than 160 mmHg. The study will enroll approximately 530 treatment-resistant hypertension patients across several U.S. medical centers, including Scripps Clinic. Researchers will study whether renal denervation, along with ongoing treatment with anti-hypertensive medications, has the potential to help patients with treatment-resistant hypertension achieve their target blood pressure levels.

Patients enrolled in the clinical trial will be randomly assigned to a group, with two out of three assigned to a treatment group that receives the investigational procedure.

One out of three will be assigned to the control group that does not receive renal denervation. All patients will continue to take their blood pressure medications throughout the study. The study will measure changes in blood pressure

over six months as well as any significant side effects or complications. If they choose, control group participants may receive the renal denervation treatment six months after the study has ended.

Renal denervation has been used since 2007 to treat more than 2,000 patients worldwide, and the treatment has been available in Europe and Australia since 2010. It is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Rancho Santa Fe Review

New SDJA football coach expects his players to win, ‘do it right’

BY GIDEON RUBIN Ever since San Diego Jewish Academy launched its groundbreaking football program 10 years ago, the Lions have had their share of ups and downs. There were the early growing pains. Then the transition from 8-man football to the 11-man game. Coaches have changed and offensive schemes have been redesigned along the way.

Few know more about all of that than Joseph Gurfinkiel.

Gurfinkiel played for SDJA back in the 8-man days, graduating in 2006, and has worked as an assistant coach for six years since then.

And so it’s fitting that when the Lions open their season on Sept. 6 with a nonleague game against Calipatria High — a game that will mark the 10-year milestone of what’s believed to be the nation’s first Jewish school to field a varsity football program — Gurfinkiel will have a prominent role. Earlier this year, SDJA named Gurfinkiel its varsity coach.

He is the first Lions alumni to be named to a head coaching position in any sport.

“It’s really an honor being that I played for the school and now I’m coaching,” Gurfinkiel said. “To me it’s a great honor that they can trust me and believe in me to lead the program the right way.”

Gurfinkiel inherits a team that was 4-3 last season. The Lions haven’t made the playoffs since 2009, when they were 6-3.

He cited player safety and instilling a strong work ethic in his players to be among his top priorities in his new role.

“I expect my players to give me their best effort,” he said.

Gurfinkiel played offensive line and defensive end during his playing days at SDJA, and he’ll bring the same blue collar mentality to his coaching that he developed playing in the trenches.

Gurfinkiel has been a defensive coach at SDJA and said he’ll continue to emphasize the importance of playing a hard-nosed defensive game.

Joseph Gurfinkiel He said the Lions will continue running a modern spread offense, a system that was designed by returning offensive coordinator Matt Moran.

Gurfinkiel believes the Lions have a lot to be excited about this season.

Among the team’s key returnees are quarterback Micah Weinstein, running back Jeremy Danzig, wide receiver Adam Sloan, and two-way lineman Jake Posnock.

Weinstein, will be a fourth year varsity player and third year starter (he started several games as a freshman too).

Gurfinkiel said he expects big things this season from Weinstein, a proficient passer with excellent aptitude who has thrived in the spread offense. Last year Weinstein threw for 1,063 yards and 10 touchdowns in four games.

“This should be his coming out year,” Gurfinkiel said of Weinstein.

tions to play at the college level, rushed for 552 yards and five touchdowns on 69 carries last season.

Sloan is a talented receiver who figures to be Weinstein’s favorite passing target this year. The 6-foot-2 205-pounder led the team last season with 30 receptions for 346 yards and five touchdowns.

The combination of Weinstein, Danzig and Sloan should give the Lions a balanced offense that’s capable of putting up some big numbers.

“It should be a very dynamic offense,” Gurfinkiel said.

Posnock, a 6-1 210-pounder, is a hard-nosed defender who played half of last season with a broken arm.

“He’s a run stopper,” Gurfinkiel said of Posnock. “Nobody goes through the middle when he’s out there.”

As a SDJA alum, Gurfinkiel is uniquely in tune with the experience of his players attending a small school that heavily emphasizes academics.

He has had years to develop a rapport with most of his players as a longtime assistant, and a middle school coach before that.

Gurfinkiel said he’ll emphasize the simple but important philosophies that have guided his experience as a player and coach.

“Follow the rules, do it right, and keep it clean,” he said.

Gurfinkiel had a chance to play college ball at Whittier College after graduating from SDJA, but declined because of family reasons.

He is currently pursuing a degree in business management at San Diego State.

Gurfinkiel acknowledged that for him, taking a head coaching job at his alma mater is personal, and that he hopes to impart what it means to wear a Lions uniform to his players.

“I really try to emphasize that it’s a special program and that wearing those colors to me was very special,” Gurfinkiel said. “The friends you play with now are going to be your friends for the rest of your life.”
