Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism

New project titled ‘Plaza de Acacias’ proposed for RSF Village site BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Rancho Santa Fe Association Art Jury gave a preliminary nod of approval July 12 to the concept behind a new proposed project in the village. Called Plaza de Acacias, the new two-story, 6,000-square-foot retail/ commercial building is planned for the corner of Avenida de Acacias and El Tordo, the site of the previously proposed (by a different applicant) and somewhat controversial Lilian mixed-use project (which was eventually scratched). The project will now move on to the next step in the Art Jury process. The Art Jury will then make a recommendation to the board of directors, which has the final say. Rancho Santa Fe Association Manager Pete Smith said the project is still in the beginning phases and the story poles now up at the site allow the public to see what the impact of the

Plaza de Acacias is proposed for the corner of Avenida de Acacias and El Tordo. Photo/Karen Billing building will be. Robert Green, RSF Association building commissioner, said the height of the building will be 27 feet from the curb. An illustrative drawing of the project is also posted on site. “They’re [proposing] a Spanish colonial building style with fine detailing,” Green said Unlike the Lilian project, Plaza de Acacias planners do not propose to build underground parking, instead they plan to use 27 parking spaces currently on site. Green said there are exactly the right amount of spaces required by Covenant code for a building with that floor space. Some spaces in the lot have been leased out to others in the Village and those will be returned. See PROJECT, page 22

Experienced racing trainer hired to manage Rancho Paseana BY JULIE SARNO Contributor The white fences, palm trees and topiary horses announce one has reached Rancho Paseana in Rancho Santa Fe. Even before one glimpses beautiful Thoroughbreds, enters the barns or watch horses gallop on the training track, it’s evident that the training center is a special place. One of the largest equine properties in San Diego County, Rancho Paseana is owned by Jenny Craig. The farm is named for Paseana, a champion race mare campaigned by Jenny and her late husband, Sid. In late June, Clifford Sise began his new job as farm manager/trainer for Rancho Paseana. Sise has been involved in racing since he was a teenager. Formerly a trainer, Sise disbanded his public stable of 25 horses, sending

Growing up near Santa Anita, Sise lived in a neighborhood full of racing people. So it was no surprise when he became a jockey in his late See TRAINER, page 22

Transportation officials to RSF School turf project on track pursue four-lane I-5 expansion

R. Roger Rowe’s new artificial turf field, the school district’s big project this summer, is continuing on schedule toward an Aug. 16 completion date, district superintendent Lindy Delaney reported at the district’s July 7 board meeting. When the school year begins on Aug. 29, students will be able to play on the new under-13 size field, a size of 55 by 100 yards. By Sept. 22, the new track should be placed around the field and ready for running. The $1,873,992 project is being paid for out of state supplemental grant funding. Another summer project will include adding new

staff parking spaces on the Dacus property on El Fuego as the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol has moved out of its temporary portables and into its new headquarters at the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. The portable on the school-owned Dacus property is expected to be removed on July 15. — Karen Billing

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR State and federal transportation officials have decided to pursue a four-lane, $3.5 billion expansion of Interstate 5 between La Jolla and Oceanside, rather than a larger expansion plan that had been previously considered. Some who had opposed a larger, sixlane expansion of the freeway that was studied as part of the project’s environmental review hailed the July 7 announcement as a victory. But others remained unsatisfied, advocating for public transit improvements before more freeway lanes are built. “It’s certainly a step in the right direction toward the no-build option, but there’s a very strong sentiment in San Diego that transit must come before more major freeway building,” said Lane Sharman, a Solana Beach resident and member of Citizens Against Freeway Expansion. Sharman wants to see San Diego Coun-

ty establish a new agency headed by a directly elected board to oversee creation of a light-rail system to serve the region. Currently, transportation money generated by a voter-approved sales tax increase is administered by the San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, which is governed by elected officials from local cities and the county. Widening I-5, said Sharman, is “not going to make San Diego a world-class city.” Rather, he said, San Diego should work with neighboring counties to create a transit system similar to the Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, system in the San Francisco region. “We need to get started on this now.” The I-5 plan approved by both the California Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration involves adding four express lanes to the freeway’s existing eight lanes between La Jolla and Oceanside. The project would be built in phases, See LANE, page 22

The RSF Association grounds crew

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors made its annual $4,000 contribution toward the California Highway Patrol’s Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP) and Explorers programs on July 7. The two programs are very helpful to the Rancho Santa Fe community, volunteering their time most recently at the 4th of July parade. The SVP received $3,000 and the Explorers, which introduces young teens to a career in law enforcement, received $1,000. “You name it, they do it,” said RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. “We wouldn’t be able to do the job we provide for the community without their help.” As the CHP’s funding is down 10 percent from last year, the volunteers on the SVP and Explorers help fill in on work that CHP officers are unable to do. The Association’s support is very much appreciated, according to Officer Jim Gaffney who supervises the SVP, and Officer George Salas, lead advisor of the Explorer program. Last year the Association bumped up its contributions to $4,000 for the Explorers and $3,000 for the SVP. A request was made for the same contribution this year. RSF Association Director Ann Boon was not in favor of increasing the amounts given to the programs without the request first being reviewed by the finance committee. President Jack Queen said the finance committee would review the increase request and the board could potentially boost its donation at a future meeting.

The grounds crew members that keep Rancho Santa Fe looking beautiful were honored at the July 7 Rancho Santa Fe Association meeting for their completion of the village parks project. In a nod to their efficiency, RSF Association President Jack Queen said that while it took about six years for the project to be planned and designed, it took about six weeks for the crew to complete it. New trees, benches, waste cans and a meandering trail now accessorize the two triangular parks in front of The Inn. “It’s an honor to work with these gentleman,” said Dick Brockett, director of field operations. “This group never ceases to amaze me. They can design, build and maintain anything you ask them to do.” In honoring each member, Brockett also pointed to their experience on the Ranch—several have been on the crew for 20 to 30 years. — Karen Billing

RSF teen holding lacrosse clinics for under-served youths Donations of new and used equipment needed BY DIANE WELCH Contributor In following his passion for lacrosse, Alexander Evans-Pfeiffer, 17, a midfielder for La Jolla’s Bishop’s Knights, is now sharing his lacrosse skills with other boys to help improve their game and to instill in them the same level of love that he has for the sport. Since last year he has conducted clinics in Rancho Santa Fe for younger boys, ages 9-12, with an average of 15-20 participants at each. “I love this type of teaching because the boys feel comfortable enough around me to have a lot of fun, but at the same time to respect me as a mentor in accepting my knowledge about the game,” said Alexander. Participants in his two-hour clinics have the opportunity to improve all aspects of their game. “We cover stick work, shooting, game time skills, and finish off with team play/competitive scrimmage. During all of the drills and games, I focus on specific oppor-

tunities to aid an individual or the group as a whole in order to give them focused and personalized coaching,” explained Alexander. Later this summer and through his senior year as his academic schedule allows, Alexander plans to give free lacrosse clinics for under-served youths at the San Diego Center for Children through the STAR/PAL program. Sports Training, Academics, Recreation/Police Athletic League is a nonprofit organization that provides over 10,000 youth services annually in inner-city neighborhoods throughout San Diego. According to its website, STAR/PAL offers free educational, athletic, and recreational programs which focus on promoting youth safety, positive life choices, and academic success. For these clinics Alexander needs donations of new and used equipment of all kinds –helmets, sticks, heads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, and balls. “If someone has gear in their garage that they no longer want, or new equipment that they have never used, please consider donating it,” he asked. Alexander’s passion for lacrosse started when he was in the

Alexander Evans-Pfeiffer eighth grade, “When I first picked up a stick,” he said. Alexander will be a senior at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, when school resumes in the fall. He was fortunate to have learned from some of the top lacrosse coaches in San Diego. “Coaches Steve Sepeta, Jono Zissi, Hamilton Pollard, Colby Rhodes, and Chuck Wagner have all contributed to my knowledge of the game and are the foundation of my success,” Alexander explained.

Past accolades include an invitation to attend The Elite 180 recruiting camp at Keene State University in New Hampshire. “Athletes attending must meet requirements that make them eligible to play at high-caliber institutions,” said Alexander. “My team won the whole tournament, and I was the highest scoring midfielder; I assisted with the championship game-winning goal.” Recent awards include Bishop’s Knights Leading Goal & Point

Scorer, 2011, 2010; Coastal League Champion, 2011; San Diego Union Tribune All Academic Team Scholar Athlete Award, 2011; and many more. His success at school also afforded him the opportunity to participate in the elite lacrosse programs, West Coast Starz, and RC (Regional) Elite. In running his own specialized clinics Alexander is aided by his mother, Lena Evans. “My mother is very tied into the San Diego community so she is assisting me with targeting charities that I can share my skills with and sponsors who will support our projects,” he said. Alexander strives to expose lacrosse to younger boys who have perhaps never thought of the sport. “I want to see California lacrosse gain the respect of traditional lacrosse hot-beds on the East Coast. With West Coast children starting at a young age, I think this goal will become a reality soon! I am happy to be contributing to this growth,” he said.

She played a crucial role in the recovery and rebuilding effort as a volunteer and later partnered with community leaders, politicians, home builders and fire survivors to produce educational events and help begin the rebuilding process. “Many organizations throughout North County benefit from the generosity of Debbie through her tireless work to support them on a pro bono basis,” said Debra Rosen, president and CEO of North San Di-

ego Chamber of Commerce. “It is the silent leaders like Debbie who do things behind the scenes that are rarely recognized, and this award is so deserving .” The Celebration of Business ceremony, hosted by actor Robert Wagner, recognized the best and brightest of North San Diego County’s business community. In addition to her work on behalf of fire survivors, Dorsee gives back to her community through her involvement with San Diego Urban Land Institute San Diego/Tijuana and its young leaders program, through which she has helped promote education and opportunity for young business leaders in the real estate community. Dorsee is also a proud member of San Diego North Chamber of Commerce, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, Contemporary Museum of Art San Diego, Urban Land Institute, Mingei International Museum, SDSU Art Council & Alumni and Building Industry Association of San Diego County.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Book details family’s battle to ensure honorable airport reception for fallen soldiers BY PAT KUMPAN Contributor Stacey and John Holley know a thing or two about grief, but even more about the battle to guarantee an honorable airport reception for their son and other fallen soldiers, during the final trip home. After their successful, but painful quest five years ago to change military policy regarding transportation and handling of such caskets, they have written a book, “Medals, Flags and Memories,” now available at Amazon. Thanks in large part to the Holleys’ protest, the military has now begun to charter small jets, such as Kalitta Charters out of Michigan, instead of commercial aircraft, for the final flight of a fallen soldier. The standard practice now includes military honors at the airport closest to the soldier’s hometown. The ups and downs of the Holleys’ journey began with the loss of their only son, Army Specialist Matthew Holley, a combat medic who died Nov. 15, 2005, when his Humvee struck an explosive device killing him and two others with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq. Their book chronicles how they handled grief, the 10-month fight to change the transportation policy, their quest to help other Gold Star families

they also knew he was probably headed to a war zone — and ultimately he was. When the doorbell rang that November day in 2005, the reality sunk in that John Holley was going to be told that Matthew died in combat, he said. After being notified, the Holleys started making arrangements for a funeral and asked the casualty ofStacey and John Holley are shown above fice assigned to assist with their newly released book, “Medals, them, about their son’s Flags and Memories.” Photo by Pat Kumpa transportation home.

making phone calls to arrange for the kind of honorable greeting they felt their son, or any other combat serviceman killed in action, deserved. Within eight hours prior to the flight with Matthew’s casket touching down in San Diego, people listened, including Senator Barbara Boxer, and everything the Holleys asked for became a reality. An honor guard arrived in full uniform wearing white gloves, saluted the 21-year-old Army medic as his casket was off-loaded from a commercial jet and guided his flag-draped coffin into a waiting hearse. Despite their grief, the Hol-

leys decided that parents of fallen soldiers should never have to accept anything other than a fitting tribute to those who have given their lives while serving their country. The Holleys persevered through angry reactions from those who wondered what the couple was so upset about, some calling them “un-American.” “After we got Matthew his due, we could have said nothing, but it’s not about the politics, but honor,” John Holley said. Congressman Duncan L. Hunter, who at the time was chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, pushed for the change in policy, now called the Holley Provision, which allows for a dignified, honorable reception of military caskets containing those killed in action. The provision was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2006. The Holleys now live in Carmel Valley, but previously resided in Rancho Penasquitos from 2002 to 2007, during which time Matthew became a U.S. AAU National champion in karate, after studying with Sensei Ferdie Allas at his studio in Poway, thus the karate scholarship available through the Matthew Holley Foundation.

Larry Belinsky

Profile

Retired furniture dealer recounts highlights of career impacted by family, competitive tennis, F. Scott Fitzgerald BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor If Larry Belinsky could have had his way when he was 18, he would have been a cross between F. Scott Fitzgerald, the writer, and Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire fictional character in Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age novel, “The Great Gatsby.” To Belinsky, retired furniture dealer, champion competitive tennis player, and founder of the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame, Fitzgerald and Gatsby were the epitome of cool. Belinsky discovered the Gatsby novel while he was recuperating from a debilitating, life-threatening attack of spinal meningitis that interrupted his collegiate tennis career and his studies at San Diego State.

“I became a F. Scott Fitzgerald fanatic,” he recalls. “I fell in love with the Jazz Era. It made me turn into a romantic. I started dressing in 1920-style clothes. I wore a white hat with a thing around the brim, a pocket watch that my Grandpa Max gave me, tweed pants and two-tone shoes. “As crazy as it is and I don’t believe in this now, but back then, I thought maybe I was the reincarnation of F. Scott Fitzgerald and I was pretending I was Jay Gatsby.” “To this day, I know it influenced my life greatly.” “One of the main themes in the Gatsby book,” Belinsky said, “is ‘The American Dream,’ which is that freedom in this country in-

Quick Facts Name: Larry Belinsky Distinction: Retired San Diego furniture retailer Larry Belinsky has been an avid tennis player for almost 50 years with 12 United States Tennis Association medals to prove it. He is the founder of the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame and assistant tennis coach at Canyon Crest Academy. Resident of: Rancho Santa Fe Education: University of California Berkeley (1972-73) and San Diego State University (1973-76) where he majored in comparative literature but left before taking a degree to join his family’s retail furniture business, Arnold’s Furniture and Interiors in San Diego. Family: He and his wife, Judy, will celebrate 35 years of marriage on August 1. They have two children: son, Jordan, 26, and daughter, Daryn, 23. Interests: Tennis, fitness, reading, music, theater, art and movies. Favorite vacations: Costa Rica, Tahitian Island cruise, Adriatic cruise, Tennis tours in France, Monte Carlo, Australia, New Zealand, Shanghai, and 1993 Israel World Maccabiah Games. Current reading: “American Pastoral,” by Philip Roth Favorite book: “The Great Gatsby,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald Favorite movies: (Recent) “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Midnight in Paris,” and “The Fighter;” and (older) “Chariots of Fire,” “Schindler’s List,” “The Kite Runner,” and “No Country For Old Men.” Pets: Two Maltese named Samson and Delilah. Philosophy: “Make something of your life; make each day count. Be happy.”

cludes the promise of the possibility of prosperity and success.” Gatsby, who, as it turned out, made his millions illicitly as a Prohibition bootlegger, was also obsessed with creating an order in his daily routine aimed at achieving what he wanted in life through hard work, exercise, continuing education, participation in sports, developing elocution and poise, no smoking or no chewing, and no wasting time — “all things that I could relate to,” Belinsky affirmed. “I love keeping things in order, as they happen, as they occur. If you were to open up this file cabinet, I have all of my tournaments and competitions on file and in order, so if I want to pull something or I don’t know the answer to something, I’ll know where to find it in a hurry. “My wife is always thinking I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) or something.” We interviewed Belinsky, 56, in his 7,000 sq. ft. home in Fairbanks Ranch, complete with a backyard tennis court, swimming pool and home gym and that undoubtedly would have impressed Fitzgerald and even the great Mr. Gatsby himself. Belinsky and his wife, Judy, have lived in the house for 23 of their 35 years of marriage and have raised their two children there. These days, Belinsky, who retired in 2007, is taking time off from competitive tennis while his eyes heal following surgeries to repair a spontaneous detached retina and the removal of cataracts, but he still takes to the court at home and coaches players at Canyon Crest Academy in the fall and spring. Looking otherwise fit and very much the tennis player, 6 foot, 162 pounds (“Never had a weight problem. I watch my diet pretty well. No red meat. A lot of chicken and fish…common sense eating.”), Belinsky guided us from his study to his tennis court where he has affixed a bronze plaque with another one of his col-

lected literary gems, the poem “If,” by Rudyard Kipling. His favorite stanza is: “If you can meet Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same; …. yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it. And — which is more — you’ll be a Man, my Son! ” It’s the same poem that Larry read to his son, Jordan, at his son’s Bar Mitzvah, 13 years ago, and that tennis players see before they emerge onto center court at Wimbledon. That’s another thing about Belinsky. He loves collecting quotes. On a wall of his home gym, he has one from the last paragraph of The Great Gatsby which reads: “Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.” Larry is the first born and eldest son of Arnold (“Fuzz”) Belinsky who founded Arnold’s Furniture and Interiors in San Diego in 1966 and over the course of 25 years, with his family, grew the business into one of the Top 100 furniture retailers in the United States. “We did a lot of advertising on TV and my mom

would close off our commercials in her red hair and big smile with “From our family to yours.” Well, that was my mom.” Larry was raised in San Diego but was born in Newport Beach, at Hoag Memorial Hospital, where his mother’s physician, Dr. Henry Bieler, author of the bestselling, pioneer nutrition book, “Food is Your Best Medicine,” had hospital privileges and delivered all three Belinsky children. “We were raised on raw milk and without polio vaccinations, small pox vaccinations, nothing. My mother was … way ahead of her time and so was her doctor.” Larry’s father, Arnold, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday surrounded by his family, was born in Detroit, Michigan. While serving in the Navy and stationed in San Diego, he met, Ethel, his future wife, at a Temple Beth Israel social gathering for young singles. Ethel’s father owned the Union Furniture chain of stores in San Diego and Mexico. After they were married, Arnold worked for his father-in-law for 10 years before launching his own

business in 1966. Larry has a brother, Craig, who is 16 months younger, and sister, Sheila, who is six years younger. “All three of us worked in the business together. My father, of course, was the CEO. I was the president of the company.” His sister, Sheila, and her husband, ran the company’s upscale line called Arnold’s Showcase and his brother, Craig, ran the home entertainment department. “My father was very smart in that regard so each of us were not stepping on each other’s toes, because a family business is a very dangerous thing. Most of them don’t make it past the first generation.” Larry began working in the business as a teenager. “I worked part time, on and off, starting in the warehouse and in the office as a lamp buyer and accessory buyer and, on the floor, as a salesman. And I liked the business.” “I was a ‘comp lit’ major in college,” Larry said, “always knowing in the back of my mind that I was born and raised [to be] in the family retail furniture business.” After marrying and leaving college without completing a degree, he joined the family business full time, eventually serving as president until it was sold in 1991 — and, in 1993, with his wife, Judy, opened their own retail furniture store, Country Furniture Faire on Miramar Road, which they ran for 14 years before selling it and officially retiring in 2007. But, also from an early age, Belinsky developed a passion for tennis. Introduced to the sport at age 7 by his father, he has been an avid tennis player ever since for almost 50 years with 12 United States Tennis Association medals to prove it, including two gold balls as national doubles champion in 2000 and in 2004. He is also founder of the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame and is currently assistant tennis coach at Canyon Crest Academy. Throughout his busiSee PROFILE, page 22

Kartmob.com provides discounts while raising money for schools BY MARLENA MEDFORD Staff Writer Once upon a time, consumers had to clip coupons — but now, they’re just a click away. A wave of companies has now mushroomed after figuring out how to harness the power of the Internet in a new way: Customers can go online and browse exclusive daily deals for all sorts of local businesses, pre-purchase vouchers for the promotions they like, and then use the vouchers when they want.

Local resident Steven Jung has now discovered a way to take that concept of online group-savings one step further and use it for a greater good: He recently launched Kartmob.com, a website that allows people to score those discounts while helping to raise money for local public schools “The original concept was truly born out of idea of creating something that’d be able to help public schools,” Jung said. “I am a product of California public schools, but

with recent budget cuts, I wonder if the same will be true for my kids.” Jung — who has an infant daughter, and another daughter in elementary school — put his years of finance experience to work, and after crunching the numbers, realized that Kartmob.com could indeed help public schools by steadily funneling money to PTA

groups. Ten percent of the net proceeds that are generated after running Kartmob. com promotions are given to the participating school’s PTA group. The PTA group then distributes the money to the school how it sees fit. “Volunteer fundraising at public schools has about a two-year turnover because people move on when their kids get older, or they simply have other things on their plate. I realized this could be a regular stream of funding for PTA groups, something

they could occasionally promote and then sit back and let the checks roll in.” So far, several North County schools have signed on, though ultimately Jung would like to establish a foundation that helps schools all over the state and, perhaps one day, the nation. “I’d love to grow this concept, and stay committed to fundraising to help public education so we can help even more kids,” Jung said, adding that bolstering the local economy was another

nice built-in feature of this concept. “Kartmob is built on a socially responsible business model, and it feels really good to be a part of it. I’ve long held the belief that if you find something you’re good at, something that really gives back in some way, you’ll be happy. So far, that’s proven to be very true. And so far, people are excited about the concept. I think they can see that this is something that’s really special.” For more information, visit www.kartmob.com.

La Jolla Playhouse launches new ‘Spotlight Dinner’ series La Jolla Playhouse recently announced its new Spotlight Dinners, a series of five intimate events at private homes of Playhouse supporters to take place throughout the year. Each event features a sumptuous dinner and a presentation by members of the creative team of an upcoming Playhouse production. Limited to 50 people, these exclusive evenings raise money to support the Playhouse’s mission of serving as a safe harbor for unsafe work. The first Spotlight Dinner will take place on Monday, July 18, at 6:30 p.m. at the stunning Rancho Santa Fe home of Playhouse board member Linda L. Chester and Dr. Kenneth Rind. In

addition to an elegant poolside dinner with fine white wines and wild Atlantic salmon, guests will also be treated to specialty drinks by Tapanade Mixologist Tom Schlinski and entertainment by Sleeping Beauty Wakes creative team members Brendan Milburn (composer) and Valerie Vigoda (lyricist). These two co-founders of the hip rock trio GrooveLily will offer an in-depth look at the creation of this exciting new musical, running July 19 – August 21 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre. The next Spotlight Dinner will take place on Thursday, Aug. 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Playhouse board member Lucille and Ron Neeley.

Participants can tour the Neeley’s oneof-a-kind concrete, wood and glass home, designed by Mexico City urban planner and architect Alberto Kalach, perched above Del Mar’s spectacular coastline. Guests will also enjoy dinner and a sneak peek into the creation of the Playhouse-commissioned work Milk Like Sugar, which will have its world premiere in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre from Aug. 30 – Sept. 25. “The Spotlight Dinner Series is a fabulous new program that gives just 50 guests an intimate, unforgettable experience at the private homes of some of our most dedicated support-

ers,” remarked Playhouse Managing Director Michael S. Rosenberg. “They’ll also enjoy an insider’s view of the next exciting Playhouse production, all while raising money to support our new play development and Education & Outreach programs.” For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.LaJollaPlayhouse.org/spotlight-dinner or call (858) 550-1070 x141.

‘Cardiff Kook’ meets the digital age with phone app BY JONATHAN HELLER Contributor It’s been dressed up as Cupid. It’s been devoured by a papier-mâché shark. It’s even been depicted as a ballerina. But now, those who wish to deface the infamous “Cardiff Kook” surfing statue don’t have to venture out in the middle of the night and risk jail time, or even climb a ladder. A local software designer has made it possible to put your face – or anyone’s face – on the Kook using an innovative app you can download on your iPhone. Randy Ullrich, CEO of RapDevPro, calls it “virtual vandalism.” The Cardiff Kook, whose given name is “Magic Carpet Ride,” was built in 2007 and almost immediately panned by the surfing community. Although the artist intended to portray a young boy learning to surf, local surfers thought the 16-foot, limp-wristed statue was awkward and downright goofy.

Since then, it has become something of a local sport to clothe the Kook in all manner of humiliating garb in honor of holidays, celebrities or even presidents. It was recently dressed up as Oprah. “You know, I didn’t have a strong opinion of the statue when it was put up, but I thought the community’s reaction to it was hilarious,” said Ullrich, 47. Ullrich, who had already developed an app that lets you put faces on everything from Mt. Rushmore to the Mona Lisa, thought it would be fun to apply the software code to the local icon. But he needed photographs of the statue in its natural, unclothed state, which were actually hard to get given how regularly the statue is vandalized. “After four tries, I figured out that the best time to go was mid-week, without any hint of a holiday in the near future,” he said. The app, named simply, “The Cardiff Kook,” in-

cludes 32 templates of the statue with a hole where the face should be. Users can upload an image of their face – or any face – and superimpose it atop the statue’s neck. The templates show the Kook digitally clothed in outfits for all the major holidays and even include several called “Dead Kook,” which depict it being hanged, nailed to a cross, about to jump off a building and being eaten by a shark. Although he has not launched a serious marketing effort yet, the app is already drawing praise on Apple’s App Store. “They did The Cardiff Kook justice. Nice!” wrote “Yoma,” who gave the app five stars. “As a local, I think this is hilarious!” opined “Tickledpink4453.” The app has also intrigued at least one local surfing enthusiast. “I think it’s sorta cool,” said Terry Rodgers, former surfing columnist for the San Diego Union-

Fine Interior Design

Tribune. “I mean, the history of this piece of public art is that it’s inspired spontaneous parody and occasional sarcasm. It’s a lightning rod for what’s happening in the world and a canvas for social comment.” Ullrich, who has an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in computer science from SDSU, is the sole employee of RapDevPro. He taps into the global workforce to operate his business, and has used contractors from China, India and Buenos Aires, in addition to the U.S. Ullrich said he is donating 5 percent of his proceeds to the San Diego County Public Library system. For more information on RapDevPro, visit www. rapdevpro.com.

Local software designer Randy Ullrich has created an iPhone app that lets users paste their faces on the Cardiff Kook. That’s Randy above about to be devoured by a shark.

Del Mar Racing Feature Rare Paraiba Tourmaline ring can be found at Martin Katz in Rancho Santa Fe This exceptionally rare, one-of-a-kind Paraiba Tourmaline ring featured in the photo at left, is available at Martin Katz in Rancho Santa Fe. Paraiba tourmalines were discovered in 1989 outside of Paraiba, Brazil. This stunner is prized for its Mediterranean-blue shades created by copper oxide. Extremely rare, its price per carat can be higher than some diamonds. Because Paraiba tourmalines have such exceptional brilliance, they will actually sparkle even in dim light. Diamonds and other valuable gemstones also do this, but it is unusual for deeply colored stones like this one to have this property. The Paraiba tourmaline can only be called such, if it is mined in Paraiba, Brazil. Martin Katz is located at 6016 La Granada, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067; (858) 759-4100; www.martinkatz.com.

There will be eight Grade I events, drawing some of the nation’s top thoroughbreds. The meet’s signature race, the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic (Grade I), is set for Aug. 28. Fields could potentially be larger this season, as Del Mar has started a “Ship and Win” program that awards incentives to owners from out-of-state who start runners at the track. More horses in a race usually mean better wagering opportunities and can lead to higher purses, said Tom Robbins, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s executive vice president for racing, in a news release. “We’re encouraged by the response we’ve gotten so far,” said Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “There’s at least a halfdozen trainers with serious strings (10plus runners). We’re ready to rock and roll.” There will be two new wagers during the meeting, in addition to the seaside oval’s usual types of bets. The Pick Five will involve selecting winners of the first five races, with a minimum 50cent wager. There will also be a headto-head bet during the featured race each Saturday; Del Mar’s racing office will select the two horses from which bettors can choose. The track will also offer a guaranteed Pick Six carryover on Sundays with $50,000 in the pool at the start. Concerts have a new, larger home at the far western end of the facility, known as the Seaside Stage. The 120,000-square-foot area contains foli-

There’s plenty of pageantry, with jockeys in their brightly colored silks and people donning headgear ranging from elegant to crazy. “It’s a great people show, absolutely the hottest ticket in town,” said Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. One of the highlights is the “One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest,” which draws entries from men and women. Winners are chosen in each of four The “One and Only Truly categories: Most GlamorFabulous Hats Contest” is an ous, Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous annual highlight of the racing season’s Opening Day and Best Flowers/All Othfestivities. ers. First place receives $300, while $200 is awarded to second and $100 for third. A grand-prize winner is chosen from among the four categories, and that contestant will win two flight vouchers redeemable for any American Airlines destination in the continental United States. Also, the first-place winner in the Most Glamourous category will receive a dual chain 24-karat gold-plated necklace from The Diamond Boutique. Entries will be taken from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Plaza de Mexico near the fountain. A parade of hats follows at 3 p.m., and track announcer Trevor Denman will announce the finalists between 4:15 and 4:30 p.m. The awards presentation will be made in the winner’s circle between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Adding to the festive atmosphere will be the Coors Light VIP Opening Day Party. For $30, guests receive Clubhouse Admission and access to the tented “Coors Light Trackside Pavilion” on the west end of the track. Popular local reggae band Common Sense will provide entertainment. Tickets are on sale at (858) 792-4242 or www.dmtc.com. Singing the national anthem, at 1:05 p.m., is 17-yearold Andrea Rosario, who performed the piece at last year’s Pacific Classic Day. Other activities planned include the Hippity-Hop Derby for children, after the sixth race, which features Camp Del Mar participants bouncing down the stretch on large balls; and Sing with Bing (Crosby), when special guests belt out “Where the Turf Meets the Surf” in the winner’s circle after the seventh race. And, of course, there are the horses. The feature will be the Oceanside Stakes, a one-mile turf event for 3-year-olds, to be run as the eighth race on the card.

Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Eat World and Ben Harper are just a few of the acts slated during the season. “This is absolutely by far and away the best musical lineup we’ve ever had,” McBride said. There is no additional charge for the concerts, which are held following the last race of the day. However, guests who arrive to the track after the final race will have to shell out $20 for admission. Other areas around the oval that have received makeovers include the Pacific Classic Pub, formerly known as the Best Pal Pub, which includes race memorabilia and photos of all 20 winners; and the Celebrity Grill, now a gastro restaurant featuring foods such as sliders, bar snacks and specialty salads on the third floor of the clubhouse.

Seniors age 62 and older can enter the track for free on July 21 and Sept. 1, and can get in at no charge on all other Thursdays with the Diamond Club card. (Patrons can apply for the free cards at the track throughout the season.) Free & Easy Wednesdays — consisting of free admission, program and a seat, along with discounted food and beverages — are offered to Diamond Club card holders of all ages. Once again, there will also be Pizza ‘N Ponies Thursdays, in which $11 will buy a Stretch Run admission and reserved seat in that area, a program, an Oggi’s personal cheese pizza and a soft drink, with upgrades available. New this year will be the Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Aug. 20, along with a Pink Day at the Races supporting breast cancer awareness on Sept. 3. A day at Del Mar can be fairly inexpensive and provide a good “stay-cation” option, McBride said. “You can soak up the atmosphere and spend a day in the sun,” he said. “We’re hopeful that this will be a good season. We see positive signs.”

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Quail Gardens’ new name, San Diego Botanic Garden, may not be as appealing, but under its more official-sounding title, the 40-year-old destination for nature-lovers is looking better than ever. Its mission is to connect plants and people, and for families on the lookout for summer activities, this 37-acre oasis is the place to go. It’s a sure cure for Nature Deficit Disorder, which according to local author Richard Louv, affects many of our children, not to mention ourselves. Besides the pleasant walking trails that meander through bamboo groves, desert gardens, a tropical rainforest (complete with waterfall), native coastal sage, and attractively laidout plantings of herbs, succulents, and fruits from all over the world, there are two areas especially designed for kids: Seeds of Wonder, and the Hamilton Children’s Garden. Seeds of Wonder is meant primarily for toddlers, but has attractions for older kids, too, including animal topiary, a miniature train, and places to just plain play in the dirt. The Hamilton Garden, opened two years ago, was mostly funded by longtime board member Frances Hamilton White, and designed by Deneen Powell Atelier, who also helped design the San Diego Zoo’s award-winning Elephant Odyssey. It’s a great spot for kids of all ages, whose many delights include a climbable

Rancho Santa Fe Review

PROFILE continued from page 8 ness career, he played tennis two and three times a week while his competitors, who would often practice twice as much, were chagrined with how he could keep up his game. “And, I think, to this day, the reason why was that my enthusiasm made up for my lack of court time. I stayed in good shape, so that when I was on the court, I could perform to my optimum level.” At UC Berkeley, as a freshman, he made the

men’s varsity tennis team; and after transferring to SDSU, where he was being groomed for the number one spot on the tennis team, he had dreams of possibly turning professional when he contracted spinal meningitis two weeks following his family’s first vacation to Acapulco. “I was out for a good year and a half. I walked out of that hospital weighing 135 pounds down from 165-170 and I never regained that original weight.” It shattered any dreams he had of turning pro.

“High depression. Feeling sorry for myself. I had to wear a back brace to keep my torso up because I couldn’t support myself on my own. I couldn’t bend down to tie my shoes. I couldn’t climb steps. “By the way, just before I got sick, I met my future wife, Judy (Olsher). I was 18 and she was 15-and-a-half and had just moved into the Del Cerro neighborhood with her family. Her folks, being part of the Jewish community, knew my folks,” he said, “Our first date was a blind date to the movies and our second date was a tennis lesson. She had never played tennis before …So I could impress her with my tennis skills.” Throughout his illness and rehabilitation, Judy stuck by him. “I remember her mother’s friend, who was trying to set Judy up with her own boys, criticizing me and saying ‘Why does she want to be around a sickly boy.’” They married when Judy was 18 and Larry was 21. When the family sold Arnold’s Furniture in 1991, Belinsky “retired” for 18 months, giving him time to train for a spot on the U.S. Masters Maccabiah tennis team for the 1993 Israel World Maccabiah Games. He brought home a silver medal from Israel. “So,” he chuckled, “I was the #2 best Jewish ‘men’s 35 player’ in the world.” It was, he recalled, two weeks to experience and a lifetime to remember. “And I was able to share it with my family and in-laws [who attended the Games and cheered him on.]” “I am what I am,” he said, recalling a line from a play. “I attribute that to my surroundings, to the people I grew up with and to the values that I learned mainly on the ten-

PROJECT continued from page 1 The project also plans to enhance the parking lot with landscaping. The project applicant is listed as Mike Grehl, vice president of Merlone Geier Management, LLC., a private real estate investment company. Peter Merlone and Brad Geier are co-managing partners of the company. For more information or to comment on the Plaza de Acacias story poles, contact the Association at (858) 7561174.

LANE continued from page 1 with construction of the first segment, from Manchester Avenue to State Route 78, to begin in 2013. “This alternative will improve the quality of life for I-5 travelers by offering new transportation solutions for the future and help to reduce travel times and congestion on the highway,” said Caltrans official Allan Kossup in a prepared statement. People in carpools and vanpools, along with solo drivers purchasing a FasTrak pass, would be able to use the new express lanes. The plan selected by Caltrans and federal highway officials has the smallest footprint, causes the least environmental disturbance, requires the fewest relocations of property owners and has the lowest construction cost of the four alternatives studied, said the Caltrans statement. According to draft environmental documents, the option selected by Caltrans will require the relocation of 50 residences and 10 businesses in Oceanside and Carlsbad, but no relocations in Solana Beach, Encinitas or San Diego. Caltrans anticipates the release of a comprehensive coastal protection plan for the project early next year, with a final environmental report to be issued in late 2012. The project requires approval from a number of agencies, including the California Coastal Commission, said a Caltrans spokesman. The freeway widening project is part of a larger effort called the North Coast Corridor Program, which will include double-tracking of rail lines from Oceanside to downtown San Diego, $200 million worth of environmental enhancement projects, and construction and improvement of bicycle and pedestrian paths.

nis court.” He just finished his third season as assistant tennis coach at Canyon Crest Academy. “I coach the girls in the fall for three months and, in the spring, I coach the boys.” Both the girls’ and the boys’ varsity teams this year won the Valley League championships and the Boys Singles and Doubles Individual championships. And how does he regard his work as a tennis coach? Well, here’s another one of his favorite quotes; this one by another of his favorite authors, John Updike, from the novel, “Rabbit, Run”: “A boy (girl) who has his (her) heart enlarged by an inspiring coach can never become a failure in the greater game of life.” Asked if he plans to resume playing competitive tennis again, he said, “I’d love to if this eye cooperates with me.”

TRAINER continued from page 1 teens. After outgrowing that career, he worked for trainers Lou Glauberg and Noble Threewitt. Sise took out his trainer’s license in 1970. Since then he has trained horses at Southern California tracks, taking out a few years to run a catering business. His best year was in 2007, when horses he trained compiled earnings of $2,128,998. His top runner that year was Idiot Proof, owned by Rancho Santa Fe residents Marty and Pam Wygod. Idiot Proof set a track record winning the Jersey Shores Breeders’ Cup, took the Grade 1 Ancient Title Stakes at Santa Anita, and finished second to Midnight Lute in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Monmouth Park. Idiot Proof now stands at stud at Don and Karen Cohn’s Ballena Vista Farm near Ramona. “Rancho Paseana is a beautiful place,” said Sise, who lives at the training center with his wife, Lorrie. “Running it and working for Jenny Craig is a plus.” According to Mrs. Craig, she selected Sise because of his longtime experience conditioning racehorses. The training center, located in Rancho Santa Fe, was purchased by the Craigs in 1995. It was originally developed in the mid-1980s by the late Gene Klein, then owner of the San Diego Chargers, and Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. At that time, it was called Rancho del Rayo. Rancho Paseana is over 220 acres and features a threequarter mile dirt training track. The track surface was newly redone by Richard Tedesco, who also oversees the racing surface for Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Rancho Paseana was put up for sale one year ago. According to Craig, her main reason for selling the ranch is that since Sid died, it has been too much responsibility as she has other properties. Her children do not share the same enthusiasm or passion for the horse business or racing. Currently, Rancho Paseana is home to about 90 horses which are under Sise’s daily supervision. More than half are actively in training, some are recuperating from injuries. In August, young horses come in to become accustomed to saddle and rider. Sise is enthusiastic about working at Rancho Paseana. He credits former farm manager Mary Knight with initiating projects which Sise will now complete. A major one is to have Rancho Paseana designated as an approved training center. At approved training centers, horses may train at the farm and ship to the track the day they race. This approval is given by the California Horse Racing Board, the governing body for racing in the state. Sise said he has surveyors scheduled to come to the farm to confirm that the distances marked by the poles on the racetrack are correct, so that if a horse works a half mile, the distance is indeed accurate. Once approval is received, Sise will schedule a clocker (someone who times the horses) to be at Rancho Paseana during morning training hours. The clocker is given the names of the runners to be worked and the distances. He then times them with a stopwatch and the work is published in Daily Racing Form as a required part of the past performances used to evaluate the runner as a betting prospect. Sise relishes the challenge of running Rancho Paseana and supervising the horses there. For more information, visit www.rpaseana.com.

RSF Library summer reading program’s ‘Love on a Leash’ a hit; Karaoke next By Mary Liu, Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild president We are officially in our 7th week of the Summer Reading Program (SRP) of “One World Many Stories” and I am still seeing kids signing up for the program since it runs through Aug. 5. I wanted to highlight the weekly Wednesday event titled “Love on a Leash” which is reading with dogs. As you can see, the kids really enjoy reading to these amazing dogs and there is such a connection with them. Everyone is relaxed and just enjoying the moment — what one should always do when they have such a captive audience! It’s a great way for a child who may be a bit shy to express themselves and get a little bit of practice with public speaking. You can partake in this fun activity in the next two Wednesdays starting at 11 a.m. If you’re the musical type, stop by on Fun Friday, July 15, at 12:30 p.m. for some Karaoke. If you can’t make that, come by on Saturday at 1 p.m. for our Teen Craft (11 & up) to make Wire Sculptures. Whatever your interests, we’d love to have you come by to pick some great books and enjoy the programs. Don’t forget your Reading passports which will take you around the Village for goodies and more fun!

RSF residents help raise funds for Presidential candidate Mitt Romney RSF residents recently participated in one of Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s successful fundraising events, “National Call Day.” Romney for President announced July 6 that it raised $18.25 million in total receipts for the Second Quarter ending June 30, 2011. This total represents only primary contributions; the campaign did not raise general election funds, according to the campaign web site.

WELCH Contributor In founding the Sean Eduardo Sanchez (SES) Tennis Center, local residents Eduardo Sanchez and Eva Stimson not only gave an opportunity to youth and adults in Tecate, Mexico, to play on state-of-the-art courts, but also realized a long-held dream for themselves of starting a charity at a grass roots level and seeing it blossom. “No matter how small your team is you can really make it happen,” said Stimson, president of EMS Marketing Consulting, Inc., who co-founded the center with Sanchez, the head tennis professional at Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in Rancho Santa Fe. They hope to inspire others to do the same. This spring the SES Tennis Center became successfully designated as a 501( c) 3 charity. Christy Wilson, executive director of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, formerly the center’s fiscal

agent, helped Stimson complete the necessary application. Sanchez said that he had held a long desire to bring tennis to his native town of Tecate and when the funds were raised to make that dream a reality, the two-court complex was named to memorialize his son. In fact, the idea for the organization originated when Sanchez and his wife, Amelia, lost their first child, a still-born son, Sean Eduardo, in 1999. Builder, Doug Pardee, who attended Sean’s funeral, helped kick off the fundraising with a donation of $15,000. Rancho Valencia matched that amount, and with additional donations $95,000 was raised in the first year. In 2004, the courts opened. Stimson, an avid tennis player, met Sanchez as the finishing touches were being added to those courts. “I was taking some refresher tennis lessons with Eduardo. He asked me if I’d like to go to

Tecate to see the courts and I said, ‘Absolutely!’ When I saw them I was so impressed with the quality, but there was confusion [in Tecate] about who could use them,” Stimson recalled. Through her business expertise in marketing and PR for special events she was able to donate her services to do a cross-border PR campaign to let people know that the courts were for everyone in the Tecate community. And subsequently she helped develop a two-day tennis tournament held in Rancho Santa Fe every fall that benefits the Tecate center. Growth came steadily for the center, then with recent increased demand from local Tecate children and adults, an expansion was necessary. Last July two additional courts manufactured of synthetic clay were constructed. Now the center has four courts and serves over 500 people, said Stimson. “They receive free tennis instruction, free tennis equipment and free transportation to tennis tournaments, on both sides of the border.” The recent accomplish-

A portion of the proceeds of the Pro-Am Fundraising Tennis Tournament benefits the local chapter of Empty Cradle, an organization which helps parents cope with the loss of a child before, during and after birth, and which was supportive of Sanchez and his wife during their loss.

Valentien chefs turn out culinary masterpieces BY WILL PARSON on’t let the Lodge at Torrey Pines’ kilt-wearing doormen fool you; there’s a distinctly Californian feel at A.R. Valentien. The Lodge itself pays homage to the California Craftsman Movement, and its signature restaurant takes its name and inspiration from Albert Robert Valentien, an early 20th century Impressionist and San Diegan. Valentien’s open-air landscapes adorn just about every wall. Complementing the California cuisine — steeped heavily in local ingredients — the artwork brings guests closer to the fertile soil of San Diego’s farms. The clientele consists of more locals than you’d expect for a hotel restaurant outside of downtown La Jolla, and the seafood on the dinner menu is particularly popular. It’s currently represented by White Bass, Maine Lobster, Wild King Salmon and Guerrero Negro Scallops. And the surest way to appreciate executive chef Jeff Jackson and chef de cuisine Tim Kolanko’s farm-totable approach is with the weekly outdoor Artisan Table dinners. The restaurant gets most of its produce deliveries on Thursdays,

■ This week: Guerrero Negro Scallops with creamed corn, fried green tomatoes, padron peppers, espellete so every Thursday morning the chefs create a four-course menu based on the best ingredients of the day. Only when roughly a dozen guests are seated outdoors on the deck do they find out what they will be having for dinner. “It’s fun for me to … be able to go to the Artisan Table and say ‘Hey, I shook this farmer’s hand this morning an hour after he pulled this lettuce out of the ground, and that’s what you’re getting tonight,” said Kolanko. A bit of culinary adventure is a by-product of having an exceedingly fresh menu. The idea is to show off the best ingredients San Diego has to offer that day, and the intimate family-style

setting lets the chef talk with guests about every bit of their four-course meal. Every communal meal brings guests closer to their food, as well as to the former strangers seated in close proximity. The typical dining experience at A.R. Valentien is a more traditional affair than the Artisan Table, but still features the same ethos — even if the chef isn’t there to tell about special items, like the fennel pollen that Point Loma Farm harvested singularly at Kolanko’s request. It’s not too far of a stretch to imagine the food on your plate came from a place like the landscape hanging above your table.

Hot Shotz Sports Center moves next to Pelly’s, offers boot camp Free fitness and nutrition seminar to be held July 16 BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Hot Shotz Sports Center recently moved across the street from its Del Mar Fairgrounds home to create a new outdoor gym experience with a built-in ocean breeze. Hot Shotz, previously known for its batting cages, soccer, volleyball and basketball offerings, will now become the only private, outdoor boot camp facility in San Diego. Through its boot camp and self-defense class options, Hot Shotz hopes to provide people with “complete empowerment” as well as a spot to kick around a ball or hit some fastballs. “We want to get as

‘All Bets on Burlap’ fundraising event to benefit California Thoroughbred ex-racehorses to be held July 19 CANTER California, an organization which provides retiring thoroughbred racehorses with opportunities for new careers, will be holding a fundraising event at BRAVO “Top Chef” Finalist and TLC Host Brian Malarkey’s new North County restaurant Burlap at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center on Tuesday, July 19, from 6-9 p.m. The event, “All Bets On Burlap,” will host racing’s top jockeys and trainers, and a limited amount of ticket sales are available to the public and fans of CANTER. Event details include: a first taste of Burlap’s menu, a silent auction focused on racing memorabilia and the Del Mar community, door raffle prizes including Turf Club tickets to Del Mar Race Track, live music, and a “Burlap” carpet entrance. Tickets are $40 in advanced and can be purchased on the CANTER California website at www.canterusa.org/ california, or $50 at the door if available.

many people here as possible because we want to change lives,” said Matt Schotz, the center’s general manager. “When you’re healthier, you’re happier.” This weekend, Saturday, July 16, Hot Shotz is offering a free fitness and nutrition seminar at 9 a.m., followed by a free women’s survival self defense class at 10:30 a.m. for ages 13 and up. Both will be run by Abe Fuentes, a fitness expert and trainer who regularly appears on FOX 5 News. For the last four years, Hot Shotz has operated at indoor facilities out of the Del Mar Fairgrounds property, closing during the summer months to make room

ly’s Mini Golf. “Now we have outdoor facilities and people just love it,” said Schotz. The location features a wide open turf field, batting cages, a trapeze operated by Circus Fund’s Trapeze High and soccer nets—in the future they hope to set up a co-ed soccer league at the site. People can sign up for unlimited monthly use of the batting cages and opt to pair it with hitting instruction and a video swing analysis. Hot Shotz will also offer pitching instruction. “Our main attraction this summer is the boot camps,” said Schotz. Schotz, a member of

Woodward Pet of the Week This sweet girl needs a loving home to call her own. She is a beautiful German Shepherd blend who is full grown at 1 year 7 months. At 65 pounds she is a fun and lively playmate who would be a great addition to any family who enjoys an active lifestyle.

Schotz had visited boot camps before and found some to be disorganized and lacking the communal experience he was looking for. Fuentes, a former Arizona police officer who had trained SWAT teams and has run boot camps for 18 years, seemed to be a good fit for Hot Shotz. While Fuentes has run boot camps using just body weight and towels, he’ll have plenty of room and equipment at his disposal at Hot Shotz. Fuentes will constantly change up workouts and aim to “shock” the body— he will push campers hard as “the human body is 100 times more capable than whatever we put it through,” said Fuentes, noting that a 300-pound woman and an Olympic athlete have attended the same class and both gotten a great workout out of it. Each boot camp will come with complete nutri-

tional guidelines and support. “When you come here you are going to get results,” said Fuentes. “We’re going to change lifestyles.” While Fuentes will be plenty motivating, Schotz said people can also be motivated by working out in groups, building friendships and holding each other accountable for the work. “We really want to create a community, a physically fit environment,” said Schotz. They plan to have Baby Boomer boot camps, bridal boot camps and a special college boot camp for incoming college students this summer to prepare them to fight off the “freshman 15” and establish a healthy fitness and nutrition regime. “Instead of filling the space of homesickness with food, fill it up with physical fitness,” said Fuentes. Saturday’s self defense course also focuses on

changing a mindset, in not being a victim. With his background in martial arts and law enforcement, Fuentes doesn’t “sugar coat” potential threats. He said some people might be shocked that a 13-year-old is receiving the same instruction given to a Navy Seal but he believes all people should be prepared to fight back “The only way to overcome a situation facing a predator is to become a predator,” said Fuentes. He wants to get people out of that “Del Mar/Rancho Santa Fe bubble” and know that they have the ability to stand up for themselves and put up a good fight. For boot camp schedules or more information, visit hotshotzsports.com or call (858) 509 5400. The first boot camp class is always free. Hot Shotz is located at 15555 Jimmy Durante Boulevard.

Restaurants set scene for music, laughter in ‘Five Course Love’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor The zany, romantic comedy “Five Course Love,” written by Gregg Coffin, has received glowing reviews in cities where it’s been staged. Rick Simas, a North Coast Repertory Theatre occasional director, returns to helm the show. He took time to talk about the summer production. How did this play end up in the season line-up? I found out about it through one of my students at San Diego State, Omri Schein, who has a role in the play. He told me to get the CD, and that it was a new musical. I got it, loved the songs and the story. Then another alum of mine, Kristen Mengelkoch, appeared in a production and mentioned it. When David Ellenstein (NCRT artistic director) asked for a recommendation for the season, I suggested “Five Course Love.” It’s a love story that takes place in five different themed restaurants, correct? Yes. The first scene takes place at Dean’s Old-Fashioned All-American Down-Home Barbecue Texas Eats. The next stop is Trattoria Pericolo, an Italian restaurant in

Starlite Diner, a kind of Happy Days-like malt shop, and the characters are bubble-gumish. Describe the show’s style. It reminds me of Sid Caesar’s “Show of Shows,” and later the “Carol Burnett Show,” where Harvey Korman and Tim Conway would do these outrageous sketches in different styles, and sing, as well. This show has country, operatic, German cabaret-style music, and the Mexican restaurant character is a take off on Zorro. The 1950’s diner has characters like in “Grease.”

Is comedy hard to pull off when it relies on the audience getting the joke at just the right moment? Absolutely. When you start working on a piece like this, that is very much about the comedy and physical timing and doing vaudeville turns, it’s funny to everyone as you’re reading through it the first time. But after two weeks of working to make it crisp and clean, it’s not funny to us anymore. I’ve directed more than 100 musicals and these shows depend on the audience and what they find funny. So those first few preview shows are critical to getting a sense

Schein (Dean, Carlo, Heimlich, Ernesto) just did a European tour of “Grease,” and was in my shows at NCRT of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” and “The Big Bang.” Kristen Mengelkoch (Barbie, Sofia, Gretchen, Rosalinda, Kitty) is a New York-actor who came to the Rep to do “I Love You Because,” and she’s done this show before. Those two referred me to Kevin B. McGlynn (Matt, Gino, Klaus, Guillermo, Clutch), our third actor, because he’s done a lot of “Forbidden Broadway.” “Five Course Love” requires people who can do lots of different accents, sing in different styles, and move a lot. It’s demanding for the actors. What will audiences like about this show? It’s very entertaining, fastpaced and only 80-minutes with no intermission, however, due to some material, I would recommend it for mature teens and older. There is a connection between the first scene and the last restaurant that I think will surprise the audience. The show has great music, a nice romantic feeling, lots of laughs, and is just great for a fun night out. Laughter is important for all of us.

Christopher Yanov improves lives of inner-city teens through Reality Changers After working with gang members for five years, Reality Changers founder Christopher Yanov felt that it was not right that most inner-city teenagers today know more people who have been shot or killed in the street than people who are on the road to college. As a response, Reality Changers began in May 2001 with four eighthChristopher Yanov grade students at the Hispanic Presbyterian Church near downtown San Diego with the hope of building first generation college students. Starting with just $300 to its name, Reality Changers has given more scholarship awards to college-bound students

than any other single organization in San Diego County since 2006, according to its web site (www.realitychangers.org). Reality Changers opened two more chapters in Solana Beach (2004) and in City Heights (2006), with both new sites led by program graduates. Recently named by San Diego Magazine as one of San Diego’s new civic power brokers, Reality Changers President Christopher Yanov raised and awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to innercity students before turning 30 years old. Yanov earned four college degrees in just five years. He graduated in two-and-ahalf years from UC San Diego with a bachelor’s degree in political science and Spanish literature. Yanov also completed two master’s programs at UCSD with degrees in peace and justice, and international relations. Yanov was selected as an inaugural commissioner of the San Diego Commis-

sion on Gang Prevention and Intervention, and is the chairman of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Education and Workforce Development Committee. He is also putting the finishing touches on his book “How to End Gang Violence in America.” 1. What brought you to this area? I came to San Diego in 1996 to attend UCSD. I majored in political science and Spanish literature, specifically choosing UCSD to be able to study in the border region. 2. What makes your work special to you? Every moment of my work contains the opportunity to make an impact. Sometimes, the students of the program get caught up in what “might have happened” if Reality Changers didn’t exist — gangs, drugs, long jail sentences, or worse. “I know, I know...” I tell them quietly, trying to change the subject as quickly as possible. We’ve made better results happen and it’s better for them to stay focused on how they can change the future in special ways for the younger students in the program.

3. What would you still like to achieve professionally? I would like the books that I am writing to have as big an impact nationally as the Reality Changers program has had locally. 4. Who or what inspires you? Honestly, it’s the students who have not made it into Reality Changers who inspire me to work harder. For example, one of the subjects of my books is a young man named Gabino, who was sentenced to life in prison when he was just 16 years old. What if Reality Changers had been stronger and had more resources to pull him up and out of the lifestyle he led? That’s what keeps me up at night. 5. If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Considering that I still have to raise just about all of the money for Reality Changers, I’d invite seven donors seeking to make a transformative, tangible change in San Diego. And as I would want my guests to truly enjoy their meal, for my eighth person I’d invite a chef.

6. Tell us about what you are currently reading. I have been reading through all of the books written by local best-selling author Victor Villasenor. 7. What are your favorite films? The best movie about why kids get wrapped up in gangs is a little-known movie called Squeeze. My personal faves are Back to the Future and LA Confidential. And everyone is always telling me that there should be a movie made about Reality Changers, but it was only recently that I developed a Hollywood-level story line: think Dead Poets Society, but grittier. 8. What is your favorite vacation destination? The best feeling in the world is driving down to Ensenada, Mexico, for a weekend or longer. And don’t worry... the only risk about going down there is the risk of not wanting to come back! 9. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. My hope is that it hasn’t happened yet!

Local family performing in variety of theatrical productions BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor This summer will be a dramatic one for four members of the Maretz family. Matt, 19; Tess, 8; and Sophie, 7; along with their mother, Heidi, will be performing in several plays throughout San Diego County. Heidi is making her first return to the stage in 30 years, with roles as a piano teacher and as a mother who beats her child in the Tony Award-winning “Spring Awakening.” The rock musical centers on teens who are on the road to self-discovery, experiencing an “awakening” in their bodies and souls. ACT San Diego’s production, directed by Leigh Scarritt, will run from Aug. 5 through 14. “I love ‘Spring Awakening,’ “ Heidi said. “It speaks to me and my teenage son; it’s very compelling.” A self-described “stage mom” for the last 10 years, Heidi said she has always enjoyed the theater. She acted in high school plays, but embarked on a career path that involved communications studies and law school. The local resident is currently corporate counsel for real estate company Oliver McMillan. Heidi’s love for acting

Sophie may have bigger aspirations, according to Heidi, but “we will see.” Meanwhile, the family is attempting to juggle schedules, with rehearsals and performances often occurring around the same time. “Some weekends we will be seeing three shows in one day, as all three shows have both matinees and evening performances,” Heidi said. “Also, my husband is incredibly supportive and is spending late nights and weekends helping drive and be with the girls so I can rehearse and be in the show.” Even when “Spring Awakening” ends its run, Heidi hopes to continue acting. “I’d totally do it — for free! — it makes me the best kind of actress,” she said with a laugh. “It’s something I love to do. If I survive this experience, I’m game for just about anything.”

Heidi Maretz; Sophie Maretz, 7; Tess Maretz, 8; and Matt Maretz, 19 was rekindled when her husband, Peter, signed her up for an eight-week course at UCSD as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. The idea to audition for “Spring Awakening” occurred after Scarritt contacted Heidi’s son Matt about tryouts, but Matt had already landed a contract for San Diego Repertory Theatre’s “The Who’s Tommy,” and the dates conflicted. Heidi said that Scarritt knew of her passion and involvement with the theater and encouraged her to audition. “I’m excited — it’s a little scary, but it will be fun,” Heidi said. Meanwhile, three of

the four children in the Maretz family — with the exception of Danny, 17 — will also be on stage over the next month. Matt will play a Pinball Lad and several other ensemble parts in “The Who’s Tommy,” from July 16 through Aug. 14. The Tony Award-winning rock opera is about a traumatized boy who later falls in love with pinball and becomes a spiritual guru. Currently pursuing a bachelor of fine arts degree at Syracuse University and living in the San Diego area for the summer, Matt has been in the business since age 9. “My interest in theater, believe it or not, came from

DR. He SAID, SHE SAID: Men’s emotional makeover By Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. and M’Lissa Trent, Ph.D. One of the patterns we notice on the Guy-side of the relationship equation is the Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. lack of emo(Dr. He) and M’Lissa tional developTrent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) ment in men’s personalities. Women may have their own version of this, but men are socialized in so many more ways than women to avoid knowing their emotional world. More often than not, this gets in the way of true intimacy being created in a relationship. So our article today is an attempt to speak practically to men about how to take some first steps in opening up to the territory of their emotional landscape. Guys: If you are currently married or in a relationship, do your eyes roll up into your head whenever your wife or girlfriend complains that you never talk to her about your feelings? Even if she explains to you what she means, are you confused about how to do what she is asking--much less wonder why it’s such an important thing to do in the first place? The “romantic stuff” of giving her flowers and cards is fine, but after awhile “the relationship” needs more. Being an emotional partner to a woman — being emotionally honest with her — means showing her the authentic and genuine stuff that’s in your heart, not in your head. But that goes against the “training” men get from a culture that rewards them for being rationale, logical, and problem-

solving. Emotional intimacy is a paradox for men and, therefore, very confusing. The paradox is this: in order to create emotional intimacy, you must risk your emotional safety by saying how you feel--by revealing what is in your heart. To further mystify this process, the above paradox creates a challenging irony for men: the one thing men work hard at being GREAT at--i.e., survival--is also the one thing that gets in the way of creating an emotional connection with a woman because it requires us to be VULNERABLE (which goes against our survival instinct). It’s no wonder why men are confused. The gift that comes from this emotional type of vulnerability, however, is the building of trust and safety that all men really are looking for. Men need to become more emotionally independent and self-sufficient so that they don’t expect and depend so much on women to carry the responsibility for their emotional lives. That’s why women find it sexy and desirable to get and stay with a guy who can take care of himself emotionally, because it means a) he’s not looking for a “mother” figure to take care of him, and b) he has the guts to reveal his imperfections and vulnerabilities and still feel like a man. The goal of an emotional makeover for men is getting to a comfort level with talking about a whole range of feelings, passions, and experiences that paint a true picture of what’s going on inside us-–warts and all. Risking the vulnerability of showing our emotions is at the very least a show of our humanity, and at the very best a show of our self-respect and inner strength. In other words, being real means saying how you feel. And by the way, an emotional makeover is NOT about creating a bunch of wussie-boys who cowtow to their women or talk about their feelings the way women

It’s Time to

do. It’s about having the guts and courage to develop a part of ourselves that reveals the depths of who we really are. And it is crucial to find a GUY-way to express those feelings! So what steps can a Guy take to get the ball rolling toward understanding his emotional world better that won’t defrock him of his masculinity? Here are six things you can do to start down this road: 1) In a journal, write down this question, “What are the moments in my life from my past that I remember feeling: anger, shame, fear, pain, sadness, joy.” Each one represents a part of who you are that you may or may not be aware of. Don’t start by making an assumption that you have no fears or have no pain or have no anger. Begin by assuming you DO have these feelings rattling around somewhere inside you, and that this exercise is for you to give yourself permission to feel and identify stuff that you normally would not allow yourself to admit to be true. Try to remember at least two experiences for each feeling. Talk to a parent or older sibling that could help you remember what you were like emotionally when you were young.

Share this info with the woman you love. 2) Make a timeline in your journal for as far back as you can remember about the significant moments in your life that shaped your personality, as well as what you can remember feeling emotionally in those moments. Share this info with the woman you love. 3) In the journal, write down the circumstances in your life today that trigger those same feelings or experiences. Distinguish what goes on in your head from what goes on in your heart and gut. Again, give yourself permission to feel and identify experiences you wouldn’t normally allow yourself to feel. DEFINITELY share this info with the woman you love! 4) Ask the woman you love for some honest, constructive feedback. Ask her this very specific question: “What are the ways you notice that I express my sadness, my fear, my pain, my shame, my joy, and my anger?” Write down what she tells you in your journal for each of these six feelings. Compare her feedback with what your own experiences are that you have already written about. Share all this info with her. 5) If you realize that you don’t feel some or any of those feelings, ask yourself whether or not you’ve ordered some voice in your head to override, avoid, negate, downplay, dismiss, or criticize those experiences and minimize their existence because they are “negative” and feeling them would be a “waste of time”. If this is the case, then write in your journal about how you came to believe why it’s been important for you to protect yourself in this way from feeling these feelings. Share this info with the woman you love. 6) Read a book (like Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence), take a seminar, take an online emotional IQ test (Google: EIQ test), get into a men’s group, or talk to a therapist to get an idea of how to identify a whole range of feelings that are possible. Share this info with the woman you love. Finally, notice how the woman you are sharing this info with is regarding you as you take this journey into your own heart. DO NOT do these exercises with the intention of impressing her or winning her favor. Do them simply because they will help you learn more about who you really are, which is the ultimate gift we can give to ourselves.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Physician brings unique experience to specialty in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR After a 21-year career as a locum tenens physician (a physician who substitutes for other doctors), Dr. Timothy Bilash is planting his professional roots in Solana Beach. Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, Bilash is licensed in 11 states, but now his heart belongs to Southern California. Accustomed to change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bilash has moved 35 times since high school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his marriage last July to Roya, a bridge engineer, brought Bilash to Del Mar and led to the practice he now has in Solana Beach. His new office reflects his desire to specialize in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and to provide a relaxing environment, less like a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and more like a spa. Working in numerous locations from military hospitals to HMOs, Bilash has a broad range of skills and experience and, as a result, has designed his own office to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;less institutionalized,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bilash says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scientist at heart. He received his bachelor of science in physics from the University of Albany, then later completed Medical Scholars, an integrated, double-degree program, at the University of Illinois, receiving both his MD degree and MS in physics from the College of Medicine. His four-year residency in OB/GYN was completed at the Albany Medical Center in New York. Bilash specializes in female health-related issues such as fatigue, weight concern, depression, menopause, fertility and libido. For the last decade he has been concentrating on endocrine balance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicine has had a misfocus, it has tended to emphasize genetics and laboratory medicine, and the scientific information is overlooked,â&#x20AC;? he said. Instead, Bilash concentrates on underlying mechanisms, such as physiology, pathology and the natural history of disease, using that information to make better decisions. He regards the hormone system as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the glue that ties things together.â&#x20AC;? The medical field should strive

for clarity in the nature versus nurture debate, he believes, and should also look at things like the environment rather than looking solely at genetic factors. The two endocrine areas Bilash has focused on are estrogen and thyDr. Timothy Bilash roid. From his own research there appears to be almost an epidemic of thyroid disease, he said, a condition that he has had a lot of clinical success in treating and one that he has a passion for. He has also studied neurochemistry, and sex and adrenal steroid chemistries, as they relate to menopause, mood and health, and, as a result, he is a strong advocate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Bilash is held in high regard by his peers, testaments show. One colleague wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is an extremely wellrounded human being of multiple interests and skills as well as a person of great medical and human insight.â&#x20AC;? Bilash will be ready for patients in August. Until then he offers free seminars on Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. at his offices (address below). Dates and topics include: July 21: Glucose, fructose and weight gain; Aug. 4: Fatigue and thyroid; Aug. 11: Good fat/bad fat; Aug. 18: Vitamin B12: the master vitamin; Aug. 25: Why you need estrogen. He also has a website that uses expert research and clinical information to highlight important health issues with an emphasis on nutrition, estrogen and thyroid. Visit www.DrTimDelivers.com to learn more. Dr. Bilash is located at 765 Academy Drive, Solana Beach, 92075; (858) 997-0212.

With Coach Dave Currie at the helm, the boys captured the championship game 5-0 against Carlsbad Lightning at the beautiful Mance Buchanon Park in Oceanside. In the first half, Wyatt Gardner charged repeatedly through Lightningsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tough defense to earn a hat trick. The remaining two goals were scored in quick succession by Charlie Kosakoff in the second half. The game represented a quick turn-around, as Carlsbad Lightning had beaten Surf 2-1 in the round-robin play leading up to the championship game. Surf had dominated in the other round-robin games beating Oceanside Breakers 12-0 and FC Heat 9-1. More than half of the players on the 12-member squad scored at least one goal during these games. As witnessed by the final scores, Surf maintained a solid defense throughout the games. With this promising beginning, the team looks forward to a great season of developing new skills and teamwork.

North Shore 8U gold all-star team earns spot at state tourney The North Shore 8U gold all-star team recently secured a spot at the State Tournament by winning four consecutive games at the North County Girls Softball District Championships. North Shore opened the tournament with a 4-0 victory over Ramona, then went on to beat Poway 6-5 in an extra-inning classic. The two teams battled throughout the game. In the top of the seventh inning, Poway was ahead 5-3. However, North Shore emerged victorious as they pulled off their biggest comeback of the season, thanks to RBI singles by Jenna Remick, Nikki Wood, and Lauren Ziment to win 6-5. Defense was key, as North Shore beat Vista 4-2. In the second inning with North Shore ahead 1-0, a perfect relay from Emily Bycott in right field to Remick to Wood erased Vista’s tying run at the plate. Vista attempted a comeback late in the game, but North Shore played solid defense to earn a spot in the winners’ bracket. A battle ensued between North Shore and San Marcos for a spot in the district finals and a berth in the State Tournament. North Shore pulled off a win to clinch both, thanks in part to a double play by Anna Herrmann, who caught a line drive to center field and then made a strong throw to first base in the third inning. Pitcher Vivienne Franke recorded her sixth strikeout of the game to preserve the 3-2 victory. “We played our best game of the season,” said North Shore manager Doug Franke of the battle against San Marcos. “Vivienne was brilliant in the circle, we played outstanding defense, and we got base hits exactly when we needed them.” San Marcos eventually made their way to the finals through the losers’ bracket. In Game 5 and Game 6, San Marcos beat North Shore 9-5 and 9-3 to take the District Championship. “It was a great weekend for these girls,” said North Shore manager Doug Franke. “Their effort in the first four games was nothing short of phenomenal. We are excited to represent North Shore in the State Tournament.” Whenever possible, North Shore’s 12U team, which also qualified for the State Tournament, was in the stands to cheer on the 8U team, as both mentors and fans. “During the all-star season, these two teams have really bonded,” said manager Franke. “It was great to see the two teams celebrating together.”

“This is a wonderful foundation, and it’s representative of what all of us San Diego vendors want to do, which is give back to people who can’t afford the wedding of their dreams,” said Jesika Leszewski, of Indulge catering. “It’s just awesome that all these vendors are able to give back to people who are less fortunate.” Indulge was one of many companies that donated their services to the party, which ended up being the biggest launch gala in the organization’s history, with more than 300 people attending. “It’s really grown like wildfire,” said Liz Guthrie, founder of Wish Upon A

To Your Health: Heart care goes high tech BY JAMES HEMP, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH Just a few years ago, heart surgery often meant a large incision from chest to abdomen, hours of surgery, considerable risks and a week or two in the hospital followed by a long, difficult recovery. In recent years, however, technological advancements have come into the mainstream, offering many patients lessinvasive, more successful treatments for heart problems. One such advancement is the use of minimally invasive robotic surgery to perform coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that stem from the base of the aorta, the largest artery in the body; they supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Any disease that blocks the coronary arteries can cause serious and often fatal complications. If blockages in the coronary arteries prevent the heart from getting enough oxygen. When the shortage of oxygen becomes critical, the heart muscle begins to die, leading to a heart attack. CABG, also known as coronary revascularization, is a surgical procedure that reroutes blood flow around the blockages in the coronary arteries so that blood can continue to deliver oxygen to the heart. Traditional coronary revascularization requires a six to eight-inch incision down the front of the chest through the breastbone. The ribcage is then cracked and spread to provide the surgeon with access to the heart. The heart is stopped and the patient is kept alive on a heart-lung machine while the surgeon takes arteries from the arm or leg, as well as leg veins, to create an alternate path around the coronary artery obstruction. When the new path is in place, the patient’s heart is started up again. Far less invasive than traditional CABG yet equally successful, robot-assisted CABG uses a robotic surgical system which enables the procedure to be performed through only a few small incisions between the ribs. There is no need to break the ribcage or stop the patient’s heart. Instead, the surgeon inserts a high-definition camera, tiny surgical instruments and ultra-thin ro-

botic arms, also inserted through the incision, to construct the detour around the blockage. The camera transmits greatly magnified, three-dimensional images to the surgeon, who controls the movements of the robotic arms while seated at a console. Because the robotic surgical system provides enhanced dexterity, precision and control, it allows a much greater range of motion and more precise movements than the human hand and wrist. Minimally invasive robotic surgery is also being used to repair damaged mitral valves. One of the four valves within the heart, the mitral valve the mitral valve allows blood to flow through the main pumping chamber in the lower left ventricle. If the valve becomes diseased or damaged, it may not be able to do its job correctly, which can lead to heart failure. In such cases, the mitral valve may need to be repaired. [In some cases, it may need to be replaced.] As with CABG, traditional mitral valve repair involves a large incision, spreading the ribs, and stopping the heart, while robotic mitral valve repair generally enables the surgeon to perform the procedure through a few small incisions. As with any surgery, robotic-assisted heart surgery has some risks; however, because robotic surgery is much less invasive than traditional open-heart procedures, there are fewer complications such as infection or blood loss. In addition, robotic surgery offers a number of significant benefits, including less trauma and pain to the patient, fewer days spent in the hospital, decreased need for pain medications and a faster recovery time and return to usual activities. James Hemp, MD, is a cardiothoracic surgeon with Scripps Health.

“We were looking for somebody who had faced challenges: illness, loss, or hardship,” she said. “But when the entries started coming in, I was bummed out that we could only give it to one couple. There were just all these people who I wanted to help.” The generosity Guthrie experienced from the wedding industry – she gathered more than 40 vendors who were willing to contribute to the contest – inspired her, and Wish Upon A Wedding began to come together. As word spread about the unique organization, wedding professionals from across the country and around the world expressed interest in starting chapters. “We have inquiries coming in from Malaysia to the UK,” she said. “We’re expanding into Canada next year, and we’re trying to go international in the next five years.” But while the organization has plans to spread across the globe, it’s also excited about the future of the 21 chapters already in

existence. Amy Harrick, president of the San Diego chapter and the publisher/editor-in-chief of Ceremony magazine, says she is eager to bring this one-of-a-kind organization to San Diego. “I went to the Orange County/Los Angeles Wish Upon A Wedding gala, and I decided this was the charity that I wanted to help out,” she said. “Through knowing a lot of the wedding vendors in San Diego, I thought I would be able to get a lot of people to donate.” And with scores of vendors already committed to participating, it looks like San Diegans’ wishes will be coming true in no time. “We’re industry people – we can whip up a wedding next week,” Leszewski said with a laugh. “So I’d say things will probably start happening quite quickly.”

Your Family Matters: ‘Kindergarten Readiness’ BY DR. KEITH KANNER One of the many critical parental decisions that arise is the determination of whether or not their child is ready to go to kindergarten. In most cases, the primary concern is age with anxiety that perDr. Keith Kanner haps their child is either too young or too old and a fear that the decision will have future negative effects for their child. But more important than age is a series of developmental achievements that are necessary for a successful kindergarten experience which far outweigh the child’s chronological age. The six developmental areas that must be considered for “Kindergarten Readiness,” aside from age, are as follows: 1. the child’s capacity for self-control and emotional-regulation 2. the child’s capacity to separate from their parents 3. the child’s level of social relatedness 4. the child’s understanding of morality 5. the child’s level of fine and gross motor integration 6. intellectual capacity Self-control & Emotional-Regulation: The kindergarten- aged child should be able to calm themselves down and self-soothe during times of mild distress. This developmental achievement is one that is typically the outcome of toddler-hood and is an es-

sential milestone of early childhood. This capacity does not mean that the child is free from complete distress during anxious times, but is indicative of a child who when faced with stress, internally goes into an automatic state of emotional recovery and slowly overcomes their plight. Capacity to Separate from Parents: The kindergarten child needs to be able to separate from their parents and last an entire day at school. This process usually takes a week or two for most children to be able to master for it is a significant transition from most preschool and pre-kindergarten experiences, but the child needs to have this degree of maturity in order to manage the time component of the kindergarten year. Social Relatedness: Sharing, taking turns, and being able to sustain a short-term conversation are important social requirements for kindergarten. Most children at this age are shifting from what is termed parallel play to cooperative play and in order to be able to participate in group activities the child must be able to also compromise and be sensitive to others. Obviously, these social-skills are enriched further in the kindergarten and grade school years. Morality: Having a basic sense of right versus wrong and being able to follow rules are key elements that are necessary for kindergarten successfulness. Although the child’s conscience is still being formulated, by this time it should be becoming progressively internalized and guide the child to make good decisions when faced with dilemmas. Fine & Gross Motor Integration: Being able to bounce a ball, hold a pencil, be fully toilet trained during the day, and have aver-

age balance and coordination are important areas of physical readiness for the kindergarten-aged child. Many schools expect that the child can also write their own name and have the ability to write letters and shapes. Intellectual Capacity: Average intelligence, knowledge of shapes, letters, and sounds are frequent intellectual milestones that many schools look for in their assessments. In addition, the child should be shifting from magical to realitybased thinking as they are entering the kindergarten year. The consideration of these areas should be taken into serious consideration by any parent before sending their child off to kindergarten and far outweigh age in terms of whether or not the child will have a successful year. Most educators and psychologists believe that children who fall on the borderline of age for kindergarten should be encouraged to go forward if these developmental achievements have been met. Keeping a child back when they have the developmental maturity to succeed, unless some other special condition is present, often leads to boredom and frustration and can additionally effect self-esteem. If concerns are still present, check with your local school principal for further assistance in assessment. Many schools have certain measures that can be given to the child to help better determine if they are ready for kindergarten or not.

Lux Art Institute announces next year’s residents BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Lux Art Institute in Encinitas isn’t an ordinary museum. You don’t just see finished works of art here; you get to see the artistic process firsthand. Every year, Lux invites five artists to their hillside studio to spend a monthlong residency creating a new piece of art. The artists themselves are on display, available to chat with visitors of all ages about their work. Currently on exhibit is a set of haunting carved and painted figures by South African sculptor Claudette Schreuders. Her residency ended June 18, but her works will be shown through July 30. Lux’s fifth season begins Sept. 8 with New York installation artist Ann Agee. She’ll show her flair for converting domestic subjects into art by creating her own wallpaper, a large-scale drawing of a London breakfast room. Following in November will be another New Yorker, Emilio Perez, whose swirling paintings, in layers of acrylic and latex, combine freewheeling energy with a sense of mystery. In January, Lux will introduce a young Korean sculptor, Lila Jang, whose fantasy furniture looks like something out of “Alice in Wonderland.” An interesting detail: Though educated in Paris, with several European shows to her credit, she doesn’t speak English and has never been to this country. She’ll have an interpreter here, but if you can parler francais (or Korean!), so much the better. March brings another sculptor, Gwynn Murrill, whose signature works are

elegant animal figures in wood, marble and bronze. At Lux, she’ll show her skill with a more Degas-ian subject: Ballerinas. At the end of May, the season’s big finish will feature Brett Bisbee, a painter from Portland, Maine, whose ethereal portraits of his wife and children recall the old Renaissance masters. This meticulous artist, who rarely leaves Maine and often takes years to finish a painting, will use his weeks at Lux to create a small, but undoubtedly luminous, portrait of his young son. Lux begins its new season with plans for a grand expansion, but founding director Reesey Shaw (a longtime La Jollan), says construction won’t interfere with the artists: Their residence, and the viewers’ experience, will be undisturbed. “You can come here and watch the creative process,” she said. “You see art being made. Our mission is not just sharing artists with the public, but modeling creativity.”

Good bye MyPyramid… hello MyPlate BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT The Dietary Guidelines are updated, by law, every five years with the latest release being January 31, 2011. This is a joint effort by the Departments of Agriculture (USDA) Peggy Korody, RD, CLT and Health and Human Services (HHS). This latest version emphasizes three areas: balancing calories, foods to increase, and foods to decrease. Sometimes along with these guidelines a new icon is created. In 1991 we had the “food guide pyramid,” in 2005 this was updated to “MyPyramid”, and now in 2011 we have “MyPlate.” I actually like the new MyPlate icon and we’ll take a brief look at the updates here. If you would like detailed information on the updates you can visit the USDA website at http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Briefly, the goal of the guidelines is to promote overall health. If you look at the MyPlate icon you will see the plate is divided into four sections. The vegetable and grain section are both a little larger than a quarter of the plate each, and the fruit and protein sections are bit smaller. Also, off to the side is a dairy section. This signifies three servings of dairy per day, or one each meal. Dairy does not have to be only milk; low-fat cheese or yogurt would also be good choices. The important message is dairy provides calcium and

vitamin D in your daily diet. Let’s take a look at the three areas the guidelines want to emphasize. Balancing calories is important as it relates to body weight. Some foods and beverages are higher in calories and it is suggested that you eat lower calorie nutrient-dense foods. This means, cut down on the high fat, high sugar products and eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, which are not only lower in calories but nutrient dense. Studies have shown that diets higher in dietary fiber correlate to lower body weight. Portion control is also very important, so downsize your portions. You can achieve this by eating on smaller plates or serving smaller portions at home. If you are at a restaurant either share your entrée or box half to take home for another meal the next day. Foods to increase are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables. Eat a variety of color, dark green, red, and orange vegetables. Add some cooked dry beans or peas to your plate. And for your grains, try to make at least half of them on a daily basis whole grains. For example, try switching from white rice to brown rice. It may be easier to do this slowly by mixing half-and-half to start. Also, make a switch from whole milk (unless you are 2 years old or younger) to low fat (1%) or fat-free. You’ll still get all the

nutrients as whole milk but with less calories and fat. Foods to reduce in your diet are high salt foods and high sugary drinks. Compare the sodium levels in foods like soups, breads, and frozen meals and choose the product with the least amount. Also, don’t fall victim to the food manufactures front of package marketing. I noticed a can of soup shouting “no msg”, so I looked at the nutrition label. What the label didn’t “shout” was that it has more than half-a-days sodium per serving, so it still was not a good choice. Regarding sugar, the guidelines suggest no more than 100 – 150 calories per day of added sugar. One 12-ounce can of soda provides 150 calories or about 10 teaspoons of sugar. That’s your daily allowance, so if you get added sugar in other foods or drink more than one soda per day you are over your sugar intake. FYI, sugar has no nutritional value, just added calories. On the other hand, the natural sugar in fruit is a different story, your body actually has to work to break down the sugar components, so you are burning calories, and the fruit provides fiber and nutrients. I invite you to give the new MyPlate a try. Always think that half of what you eat

July 14, 2011

B19

at each meal should contain “color” (fruits and vegetables). For your grains try to make at least half of them whole grains on a daily basis and keep your protein portions in check and choose lower fat options. Remember the goal of the guidelines is to make us all healthy with a healthy weight. Eat well, be well.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Kids Korps summer volunteer camps develop leaders for life through youth volunteerism By Ashley Howard, senior at Cathedral High School Yet another summer volunteer camp came and went at La Colonia Park in Solana Beach this June, starting with smiles and hellos and ending with melancholy farewells and goodbyes. During the week, new and returning counselors and campers experienced first hand the ways of volunteering. For many of the youth, volunteering was unfamiliar, foreign territory. Despite their unfamiliarity, the campers were eager to start the week with the decoration of smART meters and activities with Pawsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;itive teams therapy dogs. Even after taking part in camp as a teen counselor for five weeks of camp over three summers, I continue to be amazed at the energy and effort the kids put into the different projects. Ranging from ages six to twelve, the campers were hardly shy after the first hour. Coming for different reasons and from different places in the county, campers and counselors worked extremely well together to make a difference in their San Diego community. Throughout the week the group of youth participated in cleaning up the beach, coloring and packing bags at Feeding America for kids from low-income homes, preparing dog treats with seniors at the senior center, painting banners for the breast cancer walk, making blankets for kids in foster care, and much more. In a period of less than two hours at the food bank, twenty campers and twelve teens were able to pack 375 bags of snacks, color 300 meal bags for kids, and package 400 bags of cereal. The amount of people affected by the help of these kids is stupendous! The youth show such zest for

volunteering and care for helping people they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know. Each project had a different focus, whether informative about the ways we San Diegans can conserve energy or interactive with therapy dogs and their role aiding others, we all had a blast learning something new. The campers and counselors developed their responsibility, leadership, and team building skills and discovered how rewarding and enjoyable volunteering truly is. Seeing teens and young campers take part in projects together gives me hope for the future, hope that we all can focus a little less on ourselves and a little more on those in need. I know we kids and teens have the ability to make a tremendous impact on the community, an even bigger impact than we have already made. Surely, these kids and the San Diego community have a promising future. The first week I did the Kids Korps summer camp, my motivation was the completion of service hours required at school. After my first week, my motivation became helping the homeless and the underprivileged, and so I came back for a second, third, fourth and fifth week, and the experience only became more rewarding. I learned more, helped more people, interacted with more kids, and made new friends. The projects that Kids Korps exposed me to during these weeks allowed me to find my passions. I became a better leader and over the weeks have taken on new leadership roles. Volunteering has caused me to be more grateful and compassionate, and I know I want to volunteer for the rest of my life. Kids Korps really does a fantastic job â&#x20AC;&#x153;developing lead-
