BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Local resident Robert Conn found his visit last month to the White House, which included a meeting with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office, “both wonderful and surreal.” Conn, who is president of the Kavli Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to the advancement of science, traveled to

Washington, D.C., to honor a group of award-winning scientists. When the group arrived at the White House on June 6 for the presidential visit, its members had to go through two separate security checkpoints before they were allowed to enter the West Wing, where “we were marching like a set of soldiers around a labyrinth of hallways,” said Conn. Next, they waited in a

hallway near two doors — one made of beautiful, stained wood and the other,

SB Library to celebrate anniversary July 16 BY MARLENA MEDFORD STAFF WRITER The Solana Beach Library was founded in 1925, which means it’s been around about as long as anyone can remember — but depending on who you ask, those memories about its size and location may vary. That’s because the library moved locations five times before finding its permanent and current home in 2001 on Stevens Avenue. The Friends of the Solana Beach Library are now preparing to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the library at 157 Stevens Avenue with an all-day celebration on Saturday, July 16, which will feature free children’s

Draft of Local Coastal Program up for review The California Coastal Commission (CCC) will soon be reviewing the current draft of Solana Beach’s Local Coastal Program (LCP), which lays out the ground rules for development and conservation. Solana Beach City Council unanimously made the decision to move the LCP forward during a June 29 public hearing. The LCP requirement is part of the California Coastal Act, which applies to the 1.5 million acres of the Coastal Zone, an area that includes all of Solana Beach. Although Solana Beach has been working on getting its certified LCP for more than a decade, it is one of the only coastal communities to still not have one. In fact, as of 2008, nearly 90 percent of the Coastal Zone had received a certified LCP, according to data from the CCC. Right now the CCC has the authority to make most of the final decisions on issues related to development and conservation in Solana Beach — but, if the CCC certifies this LCP, Solana Beach would finally have that authority, except for projects within 300 feet of the bluff on the street par-

allel. The city’s decisions could still be appealed to the CCC, and the CCC would also keeps its coastal permit jurisdiction over development on tidelands, submerged lands, and public trust lands. Overall, however, the LCP would give Solana Beach much more influence over the local issues affecting its residents. The current draft of Solana Beach’s LCP was available for public review during a 60-day period that ended in early June. The CCC must act on Solana Beach’s LCP draft by Nov. 10, 2011. IN OTHER NEWS: Fiscal Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee The Solana Beach City Council agreed to establish a fiscal sustainability ad hoc committee, appointing councilmen Tom Campbell and Dave Roberts to serve on it. The purpose of this ad hoc committee will be to collaborate with city staff on possible structural changes to help address the deficit for the proposed FY 2011-12 budget. — Reported by Marlena Medford

Local resident hopes to inspire others through new book ‘Unleashed’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH STAFF WRITER Timothy Feuling is a busy man. With three distinct areas of passion — his spirituality, his family, and his business — he strives to use his energy to make his mark in each. A local resident, and a follower of an Eastern-based religious path, Sant Mat, Feuling prides himself with his relationship with God, with his wife Brooke, and their three children, and with those he engages in business with. For 15 years he and his father-in-law, a retired chiropractor, have run a successful chiropractic insurance company together. In addition, Feuling is active in network marketing, is an impassioned public speaker and has written several books connected with the chiropractic field. Each of these engagements has enriched Feuling’s life and brought him to a place where he feels truly blessed spiritually, emotionally and financially, he said. But life wasn’t always that way and in taking stock of his own journey to his cur-

rent success he wrote a book that he hopes will inspire others to also take charge of their lives and so reap the same rewards. The book, titled “Unleashed” and subtitled, “Blueprint to Mental, Physical and Financial Wellbeing” has just been released through No Limit Publishing. It is Feuling’s fifth authored book. “But this is my first book that truly shares my passion for helping others live a more abundant life,” he said. About five and half years ago Feuling had a midlife crisis. “I hit a massive emotional and financial brick wall. I was running too fast trying to keep up with the Joneses, whoever the heck they are!” he said. Feuling said he needed a new paradigm. “I had done a lot of family neglect, working 14-16 hour days. I neglected myself.” In reading “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by author Robert Kiyosaki, Feuling was inspired to follow a different path, that of network marketing – formerly known as multi-level marketing – and to write his book “Unleashed.” His in-

tention was focused. “I want to help people pick themselves up and start to see how they can be as great as

God gave them the ability to be.” In essence, to live life without a leash. The first chapter – Feul-

ing Naked – introduces the reader to Feuling’s formative years. He was a sensitive child, raised in a lower middle class family that moved frequently, in a world that seemed harsh. “I had a lot of adversity as a child. As a youth I attempted suicide, I wasn’t doing well trying to cope with life.” Feuling wanted the reader to relate to him, to know up front what he had gone through but that he had become successful, nevertheless. “It’s OK, it’s normal, this is life,” Feuling said. Other chapters introduce readers to two new paradigms in business to create multiple income streams: internet marketing and network marketing, particularly in wellness and real estate. “It’s about opening doors to ideas, whether or not that person pokes their head in or walks all the way through, it’s up to them. I never try to change people,” Feuling explained. The book is timely with the explosion of internet businesses, which allow for tremendous opportunity, said Feuling. And network marketing has always been

around. “When you recommend that a friend reads a particular book or watches a certain movie, that’s network marketing, we just never get paid for it,” he said. Feuling says he is trying to help people take a look at various possibilities that might be able to help generate extra income for them. “So that you can release the financial belt a little bit more and remove some stress and maybe you won’t get divorced this year. It really comes down to things like this,” he said. “For me, this is my kind of Holy Grail of showing the way to answer the question, ‘How the heck do I get myself out of this mess?’” Timothy Feuling’s book, “Unleashed” may be purchased though his website, www.UnleashedBook.com.

SCIENCE continued from page 1 a non-descript white door. “All of a sudden, the white door opens, and there’s President Obama,” said Conn. The group of scientists and dignitaries was arranged in a semicircle around Obama, who stood in the center of a carpet bearing the presidential seal. Obama chatted with the group about various scientific topics and the recent NBA playoffs, and after about 20 minutes, the visitors were ushered back the same way they had come. “There you are, an hour later, standing on the sidewalk,” where the experience had begun, said Conn. “In the middle you had this fantastic trip, this magic carpet trip to another world, it’s almost like now you’re back to reality.” The scientists who met with Obama were American winners of the 2010 Kavli Prize. Every other year, the Kavli Foundation, in conjunction with the government of Norway, presents three $1 million prizes for outstanding achievement in the areas of neuroscience, nanoscience and astrophysics. The cash prizes are split among the award recipients. Winners also receive a scroll and gold medal, which were presented last year by King Harald of Norway in a ceremony held in Oslo. “It’s a reward for having done something terrific

for science,” Conn said.

Robert Conn While the award — and its parent foundation — might not be household names, that may be changing thanks to such highprofile activities such as presidential meetings. Last year marked the second time the awards have been given, following their debut in 2008, when winners met with former President George W. Bush just before he left office. The ceremony is modeled after the Kavli Prize’s more famous cousin, the Nobel Peace Prize, which is also awarded in Oslo, Conn said. Conn is a former dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UCSD. After leaving the university in 2003, he joined a La Jollabased venture capital firm, then took over the presidency of the Kavli Foundation in 2009. He and his wife, Anne Hoger Conn, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCSD, have lived in Del Mar since 1994. The Kavli Foundation was established in 2000 by Fred Kavli, a Norwegianborn physicist who built an electronics company, Kavli-

co Corp., and also amassed a large real estate portfolio. According to Conn, Kavli started the foundation with a gift in the hundreds of millions, and the foundation now spends $15 million to $20 million per year for its various programs. Along with the Kavli Prize, the foundation funds scientific institutes at 15 universities around the world, including UCSD and three others in California. “This is really about enabling great science to be done and making sure the public appreciates what scientists do and how science affects their lives in so many ways,” said Conn of the work of the foundation, which is based in Oxnard. “We’re trying to provide that early resource to organizations that do great science, to enable them to do more of the inventive side, the early work before it’s ready for prime time,” said Conn, who is himself an applied physicist and engineer. The foundation supports scientific research in four key areas, according to Conn: neuroscience, or science of the brain and mind, viewed as the most complex; nanoscience, the science of the very small, at the level of atoms and molecules; astrophysics, cosmology and physics, the science of the very large, including study of the universe; and theoretical physics, which uses mathematical models to explain and predict natural phenomena.

At UCSD, where the foundation funded the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, $1.5 million in seed money over a five-year period has brought in $27 million in federal research grants, Conn said. As the foundation works to enhance public appreciation and understanding of science, events such as the meeting with President Obama serve not only to honor the scientists, but the White House “is sending a signal about the importance of science.” Eight scientists — including seven Americans — received Kavli Prizes last year. The prize winners are determined by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, and the Kavli Foundation is not involved in the selection process, said Conn. Nominations for the 2012 prizes will be accepted this fall. Conn commutes back and forth to Oxnard each week, and in spite of the demands of his job, which also take him across the country and abroad, the Del Mar resident said he and his wife have no plans to move from their home. “I just like the feel of the place,” said Conn, who can’t run because of a bad hip, but loves to walk his two dogs. “We go walking on the bluffs, it’s just joyful. It’s one of the best places to live in the world.” For more information about the Kavli Prize and the foundation, visit www. kavlifoundation.org.

LIBRARY continued from page 1 entertainment, an open house, a concert and refreshments. “We’re hoping the community will come celebrate the resources they have right here in their front yard,” said Ann Welton, president of the Friends of the Solana Beach Library, a group that has been supporting the library since 1983. “This facility is a community treasure because it’s a place where people can come for knowledge, whether it’s in the form of books, DVDs, databases, classes or programs.” The library, which is shared with Earl Warren Middle School, is the result of a joint effort between the City of Solana Beach, San Diego County, the State of California, the San Dieguito Union School District, and the Friends of the Solana Beach Library. The work has proven to be well worth it. Since opening in 2001, the current Solana Beach Library has tripled from 10,000 items per month to 30,000 per month. That success is thanks, in large part, to the ongoing support from the

Friends of the Solana Beach Library, said branch manager Rebecca Lynn. “Their support has been constant and wonderful, and we’re needing it more and more,” Lynn said. “They’ve really enhanced what we can offer here, and anytime they sponsor something, I know it’s going to be popular.” The Friends of the Solana Beach Library raises money for programs via its used bookstore, which is located inside the library. The small store, which generates about $14,000 annually, is run entirely by volunteers. During the July 16 celebration, Welton said she hopes to pique the interest of a few more potential volunteers. “I got involved with the Friends of the Solana Beach Library by just walking through the front door. After I learned that this was something I could do on a Saturday and still give back to my community, I was onboard.” For more information about the Friends of the Solana Beach Library and its July 16 celebration, please visit friendsofsolanabeachlibrary.org.

If you go The 10th Anniversary of the Solana Beach Library on Stevens Avenue will be Saturday, July 16.

UCSD’s Fox to leave chancellor’s post Chancellor Marye Anne Fox, chancellor of UCSD since 2004, announced Monday she will step down as chancellor in June 2012 to return to teaching and research as a distinguished professor of chemistry at the university. The UC Office of the President will begin an international search for her successor beginning this fall, according to a press release issued by the university Tuesday morning. Mark Yudoff, president of the University of California, said in the release, Fox has “added striking breadth and depth to the university’s already sterling reputation. The accomplishments of her service give renewed energy and purpose to the institution, and set a visionary course for the 21st century.” The seventh Chancellor at UCSD, and the first woman to be appointed as permanent chancellor, Fox led the university this year through its 50th anniversary celebration that included a call for volunteer service, focus on educaMarye Anne Fox tional offerings and celebrations of and for students and alumni. The press release noted that Fox “assembled a diverse senior leadership team during her tenure which saw the campus and its faculty earn Nobel and Pulitzer prizes; garner top international and national rankings for research, teaching, medicine and the arts; gain international notice of the university’s discoveries, inventions and other achievements; and merit presidential recognition for a superlative record of public service.” Fox said in the release: “I consider it a privilege beyond measure to work with so many extraordinary scholars, teachers, scientists, doctors, staff members and students. The university has all of the human and creative resources we need to achieve even greater success in the decades ahead.” Under her leadership, the release noted that the campus completed a $1 billion-dollar capital campaign and expanded “at an unprecedented pace to accommodate increasing numbers of students and a billion-dollar research enterprise. “Since her arrival in 2004, the campus has initiated or completed more than $3.5 billion in capital improvement projects that include new construction, renovation of existing space and infrastructure improvements. Once all projects are completed, they will add about 3.4 million assignable square feet of space at the campus, an approximate 40 percent increase.” At the conclusion of her tenure as Chancellor, Fox will return to the UC San Diego Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry to teach and conduct research. Additional information regarding Fox’s tenure at UC San Diego may be found atwww. mafox.ucsd.edu.

Seasoned entrepreneur assumes post as dean of SDSU business college BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor “I went into it kicking and screaming,” said local resident Michael Cunningham, clinical professor of entrepreneurship and newly-appointed dean of San Diego State University (SDSU) College of Business Administration, recalling how he went into business on his own. Why? Because, by age 24, he was the ‘go-to-guy’ on Wall Street for overnight financial printing, making $1 million a year in commissions as a print salesman. Simple. Hundreds of jobs in by 8 o’clock at night, printed and ready to go by 6 the next morning. In the early 1980s, not many companies could do that. And all Cunningham had to do was sell, make promises and deliver on what he promised. “Life was good,” he said. “I had my own house in Nutley, New Jersey. Buddies from my college wrestling team came down. I taught them how to sell printing. I had a full head of hair. It was great. “But then, the owner of

the printing company I worked for, my mentor, died. And his son took over the business and ran it into the ground. We’d had such a great book of business…So I was forced to open up my own business.” As it turned out, it was one of the best decisions of his life. We interviewed Cunningham recently over morning coffee at Denny’s in Del Mar. Looking a bit like actor George Clooney, albeit with thinning hair, Cunningham, 51, is a fit-looking 5-foot-11, 188 pounds. And like Clooney he has brown eyes and the charm of a natural-born salesman seasoned with reallife, high stakes entrepreneurial experience. Cunningham officially took over the helm of the university’s business school on June 20. He has taught entrepreneurial courses at SDSU since 2005, after selling a printing firm he founded for more than $100 million. “My goal is to create as many opportunities for as many students as I can and help rebuild the economy one student at a time,” he

said. Cunningham assumes his new position as dean of SDSU’s College of Business Administration at a time when California’s colleges and universities are in crisis facing funding cutbacks that could lead to even lower enrollment, fewer teachers, larger class sizes and a diminishing of academic excellence. “Basically, we have a wonderful institution,” he said. “I want to build the reputation of the school to be nationally recognized. That has to do with ranking.” Currently, the business school undergraduate program ranks 86th in national ranking of public universities and the MBA graduate program is in the top 100. “We want to get both programs into the top 50 within the next five years,” Cunningham said. In today’s tough financial times, he said, “we can’t afford to be all things to all people. So we have to pick our specialties and make sure we are ‘best in class’ in those disciplines. “I want to make sure that some of our specialized

programs, for instance, entrepreneurship, accountancy, international business, real estate are all within the top 20 ranks of those specialties.” Born in the New York City neighborhood and borough of Astoria Queens, Cunningham originally intended to become a New York City firefighter like his father, grandfather and great grandfather. “I grew up in a household of heroes,” he said. But when he was old enough “to take the test,” New York City was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Instead of hiring, the city was laying off firemen and police. Cunningham, who made his mark as a wrestler in high school, was recruited to wrestle for the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, on a work/study financial aid program, where he wrestled without distinction, but earned a degree in business administration in 1982. “I was a very good high school wrestler and a bad college wrestler.” He remembers, as a defining moment in his life, the time when he and his team were wrestling against Harvard in Cambridge and were actually beating them, when a chant arose from the Harvard fans: ‘You’re beating us today, but you’ll be working for us tomorrow.’ “At that moment,” Cunningham said, “I real-

Michael R. Cunningham ized that I’d better do something with my life or else I was just going to be another cog in the wheel. “So I looked for a mentor. I had great role models in my life, but none of them were business people. A friend’s father from my high school wresting team owned a printing company and he

became my mentor. “I started selling printing on Wall Street. It was straight commission. I loved it. You eat what you killed. I thought it was great.” He eventually and reluctantly opened his own print manufacturing plant

Yale-bound local teen honored by Del Mar Rotary Club BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Del Mar Rotary Club recently honored Jordan Moore, a Cathedral Catholic High School class of 2011 graduate, with a Paul Harris Fellow. The Paul Harris Fellow is awarded in recognition of significant contributions made by the recipient to the community and comes with a $1,000 donation to a humanitarian organization made in the recipient’s name. Jordan will attend Yale University this fall. Despite earning a 4.43 GPA, playing on the golf team for four years, and participating in Rotary’s high school Interact Club and the Girl Scouts, Jordan has always made time for community service, racking up about 400 hours per year. She encourages others to make the same effort. “I have realized how important it is for people to do service, especially in a country where we have so much,” said Jordan, 18. “The more people take the opportunity to give back, the better off we’ll all be…we can’t always focus on ourselves.” Jordan has done it all while overcoming a big hurdle—she lost her hearing after a severe bacterial infection at age 2. She relied heavily on hearing aids and lip reading for most of her life, losing the rest of her hearing in one ear when she was in middle school.

She often used an FM system with her hearing aids at school — the teacher would use a microphone that would send lessons straight to her ear. “I’ve been my own advocate,” Jordan said, noting she never let her lack of hearing keep her from learning. Last July, Jordan received a cochlear implant that changed her life. “I was worried because when they do a cochlear implant they have to remove all the nerves so there’s no going back,” Jordan said. “I’m hearing so many things for the first time, I’m so glad that I got it.” She has put her ear to her bowl of Rice Krispies to listen to the crackle and pop; she has sat in a chair snapping rubber bands to hear the satisfying thwack; and has heard pitch for the first time—she never before realized how low men’s voices were in comparison to women’s and had a tough time at first understanding men when they spoke. When her bedroom door is ajar, she can hear her family talking downstairs. “I can hear the leaves rustling, the ocean is so much louder,” Jordan said. “I liked music before but now I can hear everything, the background and the singing crystal clear.” With a big heart for volunteerism, Jordan has been giving

Jordan Moore back her entire life, before she even knew it was community service, she said. Her family would serve Thanksgiving meals downtown at homeless shelters and spend Christmas at convalescent homes. “I really just thought it was a Christmas tradition for our family. It didn’t register as work or giving back to the community,” Jordan said. Since her freshman year, Jordan has been involved in Interact and became the club president as a senior. In her junior year Jordan participated in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program, along with teens from all over the county.

“It was very fun getting to meet like-minded people who juggle everything like I do and still care about their community,” Jordan said. Her senior year of Interact has been her favorite, as she was able to participate in her first major international service project. At RYLA she learned about the Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio so she worked with the club to raise money toward the cause. Her club was able to raise money for about 800 vaccines for African children. “It was a big success for us,” Jordan said. “It was really rewarding because I had never done something on quite so big a scale.” Jordan has also “absolutely loved” being a Girl Scout since 1999, earning the organization’s highest honor, the Gold Award in 2010. She was also selected to be an ambassador for the San DiegoImperial Council at a national convention, a big honor for her. As a Girl Scout for 13 years, she received the Presidential Service Award for the past six years running for completing over 100 hours of community service annually. She is also the recipient of the James S. Copley Citizenship Award, the Spirit of Leadership Award, the Rotary Youth Leadership Award, and is a National Merit Scholar. She was a member of the National Honor Society and the California Scholarship Federation.

Among her many activities, Jordan has also been a board member for T-MAD (Teens Making A Difference) with the County of San Diego Library system; a board member of the Teen Advisory Board with Girl Scouts San DiegoImperial Council; a founding member of the “I am Norm” global campaign; and founder and president of the National Youth Council on Inclusion; interned at KIT (Kid’s Included Together) and the National Training Center on Inclusion; and been a junior docent at the San Diego Museum of Man. Last summer, her family went on a road trip up and down the East Coast to all the schools she applied to—she fell in love with Yale the second she stepped on campus. “I’m so excited about going to Yale,” Jordan said. “It really is amazing how they offer so many options.” (Jordan was accepted to Yale, Bowdoin, Cornell, Colgate, Amherst, Vassar, Hamilton, and Swarthmore.) She plans to major in environmental studies with her sights set on getting into environmental law. Unfortunately Yale does not have a Rotoract chapter, the college version of Rotary. Don’t be surprised if a new chapter suddenly pops up, founded by one bright, new, determined Yalie. “I definitely don’t want to leave Rotary behind,” Jordan said.

Local resident brings top qualification to role as tennis coach BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Local resident Adrian Waisfeld has taken a big swing at developing the sport of tennis on the San Diego Jewish Academy campus. In addition to serving as the school’s tennis coach, he also runs his AW Tennis Academy on the campus courts. Adrian Waisfeld Waisfeld has a “PTR Master of Tennis-Performance” qualification, a new program that matches the highest level of the “National Standards for Sports Coaches.” Only five people in the country have completed the master of tennis, including Waisfeld. He prides himself on constantly educating himself on the best practices for progressing young players with potential. “My dream is to take one of my players to play professionally,” Waisfeld said. While he would love to have a player become one of the country’s best, he also gets a lot of joy from helping kids learn the game. “Every kid can play tennis,” Waisfeld said. “It’s amazing when they start to notice they can do it. I like to see their faces so proud when they hit a shot. I wouldn’t trade my job for anything. I have the best job, the kids are awesome.” Waisfeld started playing tennis “late,” as an 11-year-old in his native Argentina. A sports enthusiast, he had played soccer, basketball and swam but decided to pick up tennis. “I was jealous because my dad played

with my older brother,” admitted Waisfeld with a smile. Almost immediately, the beginner was beating kids who had started playing five years before him. “It was natural for me, it was easy,” Waisfeld said. In 1983, his family attended the Davis Cup in their country, watching Argentinians Guillermo Vilas and Jose-Luis Clerc beat Americans John McEnroe and Gene Mayer. “After that I told my dad I wanted to be a tennis professional,” Waisfeld said. He started competing at the junior level and quickly rose up the ranks, reaching the top 10 nationally when he was 18. Waisfeld played all over Europe, mainly in France and Spain, in the “minor leagues” of the ATP World Tour. Although he had beaten ATP players, he couldn’t afford the high cost of competing at that level. Waisfeld married his childhood sweetheart and decided to focus instead on teaching the game he loved. In Argentina, he taught every level of tennis player and ran his own tennis academy. His favorite teaching success story is that of a 79-year-old man who had been diagnosed with cancer and given a year to live. The 79-year-old told Waisfeld he had never hit a backhand with top spin and it was something he wanted to do before he died. “I worked with him and we did it,” Waisfeld said. When he moved to San Diego eight years ago for his wife’s new position at UCSD, he aimed to establish his tennis instruction career here. He taught private lessons at the Surf and Turf Tennis Club in Del Mar before landing the job as the tennis coach at SDJA. “I love it because of coaching the teams

and also because they gave me space to create my own academy,” Waisfeld said. The academy started off small and has grown every year, offering instruction to children and adult players. Waisfeld said his background makes him a very unique kind of instructor as in Argentina they have a different approach in “creating” an athlete. “We do a lot of games, we play soccer, football, ultimate Frisbee because you’re learning catching, hand-eye-

coordination, running, movements…tennis is not running in a straight line,” Waisfeld said. “I put a lot of focus in physical fitness, it’s important.” Waisfeld’s playing days are mostly behind him—in 2006 he cracked the top seven in Southern California and was number one in San Diego in the 35-year-old division but he has turned his focus to his students, especially his two children, ages 10 and 13. “Right now my two kids are playing and I’d rather put my time in them, they have more of a future in tennis than I do,” Waisfeld said. Through August AW Tennis Academy is offering tennis summer camps for players 6-18. Sessions remain open throughout July and through the week of Aug. 8. To register, contact Adrian Waisfeld at (858) 692-4242 or email awaisfled@hotmail.com.

NOTEHALL continued from page 1 Now, at the ripe age of 27, Conway is well on his way to realizing those adolescent daydreams. Upon graduating from the University of Arizona in 2009, Conway and his classmate Justin Miller launched Notehall, an online marketplace for college students who want to buy and sell class notes. The pair soon after brought on D.J. Stephan and Fadi Chalfoun to help run the company, who also attended the University of Arizona. “The concept of entrepreneurship in the classroom is interesting,” he said. “I have [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder],

so in college, I had a notetaker. When other people would hear that, they’d always tell me that they wished they had their own note-taker. I realized it made sense to offer the service. Besides, why not financially reward students who have the talent of taking good notes? This is a way college students can earn some extra money.” In 2009 Notehall earned Conway and his crew a spot on “Shark Tank,” an ABC reality TV show that gives up-andcoming entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their ideas to a panel of successful entrepreneurs. “The night our episode aired, we had 30,000 visitors

flood our website within a few minutes. We were the number one Google search that day. It was so exciting.” And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, that same week Notehall’s executive team was named on Business Week’s annual list of “Best Young Entrepreneurs.” Today, Notehall offers its service to 65 schools, and though it now has more than 300,000 users, Conway said he hopes to at least double that number within a year. TechCrunch.com recently reported that, according to industry buzz, Notehall is being acquired by Chegg, a textbook rental company, for an undisclosed amount of cash and stock.

Though Conway said he was not at liberty to comment on the possible deal, he did affirm that he’s committed to the core concept of Notehall. He also offered a few pearls of wisdom for any other Torrey Pines High School students who, like him, may be out cruising the neighborhood, doing a little daydreaming of their own. “If you want to be an entrepreneur, start young, start now. Start when you don’t have bills and you’re living in your parents’ home. You’ll learn a lot, and trust me, it’s worth it.” For more information about Conway and Notehall, check out Notehall.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Deliciás is Rancho Santa Fe’s summer dining hot spot Gold Wellness Center expanding Deliciás Restaurant’s owner Owen Perry has developed the restaurant in many ways since acquiring the property in 2008. Most recently Perry has brought in a certified sommelier to expand the wine selections from the cellar to over 340 labels, taking the count in the award- winning wine cellar to more than 2,000 bottles. Selections have also expanded to include 24 wines-by-the-glass, providing patrons the opportunity to not just enjoy many classic favorites, but get to know some special sommelier selections, as well. Perry explains, “I have owned many restaurants over the past 20 years. I enjoy the business and living in the Ranch has provided such a great experience for my family and me personally. Living here has also helped to develop the food and beverage and environment at Deliciás.” The beginning of summer marks even more changes for the Deliciás menu, including the addition of theme lunches to make the summer even more special. Guests have suggested a casual environment where they can relax and kick off their weekend, and owner Perry has listened. Deliciás is not just a great place for steak, chops and seafood, but a wonderful experience for the whole family. Every Thursday guests have the choice to dine on the patio for burgers and barbecue, featuring summer offerings like pulled pork sandwiches. Lunchtime on Friday is now a fiesta. The new “Fiesta Friday” lunch menu includes authentic street tacos for only $3 at the “build your own” taco bar. Add carnitas, lime, cilantro, onion, tomato, guacamole, sour cream, red and green salsas to tacos and enjoy an authentic taste of Mexico in a relaxed, comfortable environment. And what party is complete without a great Mexican beer? The bar is now offering the option to buy beers by the glass or by the bucket. So bring friends down to Deliciás and kick off the weekend right.

Deliciás Restaurant in Rancho Santa Fe. With the recent successful changes to the summer selections at Deliciás, the restaurant is not only developing new concepts, but is staying true to its roots, as well. The original concept and design for Deliciás Restaurant was developed by Wolfgang Puck and many elements of the Rancho Santa Fe establishment continue to be influenced by the celebrity chef.

Country needs to stop feeling so entitled Why, why, why does the federal and state government always go to education first when there is a serious budget crisis? Doesn’t the numbers showing the United States being 26th in the world and the State of California being 48th in the nation with the worst test scores frighten anyone? There are so many other places to cut and should cut, but the government just does not have the backbone being afraid of making their constituents mad, resulting in not getting re-elected. Speaking of which, there needs to be term limits on all public officials. All congressmen, Governors, City Council members, County Board of Supervisors and all other paid public officials should not be allowed to hold office more than 12 years. Since holding a public office is a “pub-

lic service” and not intended to be a lifetime career, these officials should not be receiving a pension for doing public service once they leave office. Why should taxpayers continue to pay someone who is no longer serving as a public official? I understand that a City Council member serving the City of San Diego who serves only one term can receive $13,000 per year for the rest of their life. Who pays that? The taxpayer. Crazy. Next would be the billions of dollars going to countries that would love to wipe us — the United States of America — off the face of the Earth. Our government should not be giving Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia billions of dollars. As I understand, Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest countries per capita in the world

Our Greater San Diego Vision needs your voice Do you love calling the San Diego region home? What is it that you love about living here? Our natural beauty, world-class universities and family-friendly communities might top your list. Now, consider what you don’t enjoy. For many, what springs to mind is the high cost of living, traffic congestion and lack of higher paying jobs. Despite how much you love it here today, change is coming. Without long-range planning, the things you enjoy could get harder to come by while the things that you don’t like get worse. Our region will grow by 40 percent over the next 40 years. We’ll need to create 500,000 higher paying jobs and find roughly 400,000 new homes if our next generations are going to be able to stay here and raise their families. That’s why a broadbased group of diverse community leaders has formed to support Our Greater San Diego Vision. Through Our Greater San Diego Vision, an initiative facilitated by The San Diego Foundation, we can each do our part to protect and preserve what we love about San Diego for future generations. Our Greater San Diego

Vision will be developed by the people and for the people through an unprecedented public engagement process. It will create a shared vision and vital longrange plan for the next 50plus years. In the fall, you will have the opportunity to brainstorm ideas and suggest your priorities and solutions for the region’s future growth during a series of public workshops. Your input will determine options for our future growth. These options will be presented to tens of thousands of residents to choose those that best reflect their values and priorities. The consensus will form a longterm vision to be published in the spring 2012 and to guide decisions impacting our region’s growth for the coming decades. As one of the nearly 150 Vision Ambassadors representing all communities across our region, I’m asking you to get involved today by visiting www.ourgreatersandiegovision.org where you can learn more and connect with our process. Jennifer Adams-Brooks Vice-chair of Our Greater San Diego Vision and incoming chair of The San Diego Foundation Board

so why are they receiving money from us? Next, government unions need to be disbanded. Government employees should not receive any more special treatment than those working in the private sector, especially when it comes to receiving pensions. It seems like a contradiction that the taxpayers should continue to pay out of their own wages to public employees once they have retired. They are no longer working for the government. There should be a mandatory 401K retirement plan for each public employee that they draw off of once retired. No one is paying for anyone in the private sector when they retire. All private sector workers have to put their savings away for retirement. Many other places that would encourage growth,

revenue and decreased spending would be to implement working welfare, limited off shore drilling and encouragement for private sector to research alternative fuel — which is now happening. Revisiting the tax structure is mandatory. The tax system needs to more of a fair tax. Maybe looking at a consumer tax for a fair tax would be appropriate. The more people consume, the more they should pay — just a thought. There has been a lot of talk about taxing the wealthiest corporations at 70 percent. Should the wealthiest pay their share, yes, but not at the cost of discouraging companies to stay here. If all the companies that have out-sourced their jobs came back to the States, we would not have a national unemployment rate of 9.8 percent. Don’t

bite the hand that feeds you, make it inviting enough to ensure there is still plenty of food on the plate. There are still so, so many areas that need to be evaluated, tweaked and streamlined to get this country back on track. It will take working as a country and getting over the “give me” attitude. We, as a country, need to get away from feeling so entitled. Greece is just a microcosm of what we, the United States, could turn into. If everyone is hired/benefiting for/from the government who would be paying the bills? Where would the revenues come from? There needs to be a small government, fewer government employees and a successful private sector to make this country function. A three-legged chair needs all three legs to stand. Corinne Hackbart

DEAN continued from page A8 — Cunningham Graphics International (CGI) — on May 5, 1989, in Jersey City, N.J., in a 10,000 sq. ft. rented space, with 11 employees and with one press that he leased for $18,711 a month. “I had to sign my house over as a personal guarantee. They were trying times,” he recalled. While growing the business as CEO, he multi-tasked his way at night to a master’s degree from New York University (NYU) in 1996 and shifted CGI’s focus to serving globalized financial markets through international strategic partnering and expanding with offices in New York, London, Hong Kong, and as 2,000 employees in 19 factories in six countries. He credits his studies at NYU with inspiring him to research the possibility of taking his company global. He based his 300-page master’s dissertation on the idea of strategic partnering through technology, got an “A” for his effort, wrote a business plan based on the dissertation and, as a result, won a three-year $60 million global printing contract with Credit Suisse/First Boston.

“That was pretty cool,” he said. “I was a small businessperson, but when I wrote that business plan and implemented it for the globalization of our product, that’s when I became an entrepreneur. “And that’s why I’m so enamored and want to give back to higher education because it had such a profound impact on my life,” he explained. In 1998, Cunningham took his company public on Nasdaq and subsequently sold it for in excess of $100 million to Automatic Data Processing (ADP). He retired to academia in 2000, moved to Rancho Santa Fe, coached wresting at his children’s middle school, began teaching at San Diego State in 2005, and earned a Ph.D. in administration, leadership and technology from NYU in 2006. In late 2007, he was called back to his former company as CEO to devise and execute a turnaround strategy, culminating in the successful re-sale of the company to a private New Yorkbased equity firm in 2008. He remained another two years, repositioning the company and rebranding it the Diversified Global Graphics Group. Now back at SDSU, he

Quick Facts Name: Michael R. Cunningham, Ph.D. Distinction: Entrepreneur Michael Cunningham, who built his New Jersey-based financial printing and graphics firm into a multimillion dollar international powerhouse, is the newly-appointed dean of San Diego State University’s College of Business Administration. Education: B.B.A. (Bachelor of Business Administration), University of Massachusetts, Amherst, 1982; M.S. and Ph.D., New York University, 1996 and 2005 respectively. Children: He has three children: son, Michael, Jr. 23, a recent NYU graduate in accounting and finance; daughters, Christine, 22, a recent Stanford grad, and Tressa, 17, a recent Torrey Pines High School grad. Interests: Jogging, hot yoga, reading Recent reading: “Revolutionary Wealth,” by futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler Favorite film: “Old Man and the Sea,” 1958 film starring Spencer Tracy, based on the novella of the same name by Ernest Hemingway. Favorite TV: “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” HBO series based on the daily life of comedian Larry David. Favorite getaway: Fire Island, N.Y. Philosophy: “Success is in large part just doing what you say you are going to do.” is already working with faculty and other stakeholders on a new strategic plan that will focus on the business college’s strongest specialties. “We just have to tell our story,” he said, “and one of the ways we are going to do that is by leveraging our biggest asset which is our alumni.” The business school itself has more than 70,000 alumni with 80 percent liv-

ing in Southern California and with many graduates occupying the C-suites (CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, and CMO) of top companies. “So we are leveraging those networks and the business community to get our story out, to hire our students [as interns], to mentor students, to lecture in our classrooms, and to get involved financially and strategically.” Also, to offset the finan-

cial constraints on SDSU, he wants to attract more out-ofstate and international students who pay double the tuition and who do not receive California State financial aid. “Right now only 5 percent of our student body is from out-of-state, including international. What I am proposing is that we target from 10 to 15 percent from out-or-state and international students, and that we apply 30 to 33 cents of every dollar of out-of-state tuitions toward financial aid for instate students. He argues that such a plan would not reduce the 1,200 seats allocated for instate students in the business school next year already under the state’s current budget-crisis enrollment regulations, but “what this will do is give us diversity of experience, geographic diversity and ethnic diversity, as well as help supplement our finances. We can increase our total business school enrollment by 10 to 15 percent without affecting our in-state admissions. “The alumni know what a wonderful jewel we have in San Diego State University. But the rest of the world doesn’t know that yet. So the old adage, ‘Untold Unsold,’ it’s my job to tell the story of really how won-

derful our faculty, students and staff are — and that’s what I intend to do.” Cunningham replaces former dean, Gail Naughton, a scientist with more than 90 patents in tissue regeneration who resigned to focus on her own company, Histogen, Inc., which she founded in 2007. His advice to young aspiring entrepreneurs: “Don’t rush into anything. Have a plan. Do the research. Look at the opportunity costs. Find a mentor. And make sure you take a calculated risk. There are many ideas in the world. But there are few opportunities. Make sure the idea or innovation you have is indeed an opportunity; that the market is large enough; and the market is growing. Stack the deck, if you will. “I ask my students, ‘What’s the purpose of business?’ And 90 percent of the class will say, to make money. And that’s not really the truth. The purpose of business is to serve the needs of society. Making money is just a by-product of that.” Cunningham has a long record of charitable work and community service in New Jersey and San Diego. He still serves as a trustee at NYU.

Special character: CCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rasmussenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-sport success story is strictly nonfiction BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Carly Rasmussen, the budding author, believes creating characters her readers care about is the starting point in any of her witchcraft and wizards-themed short fiction works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a good story is defined by interesting characters, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special talent or a certain character trait that allows them to overcome adversity,â&#x20AC;? said Rasmussen, an incoming Canyon Crest Academy sophomore who considers writing a hobby for now. It turns out Rasmussen, the athlete, shares many of those same qualities. Rasmussenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will to win is the trait that enables the twosport star to excel in volleyball and swimming â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two sports that typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix. In her varsity swimming debut, Rasmussen won Valley League titles in the 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard individual medley. She placed sixth in the 100 butterfly in the San Diego Section Div. III finals, and swam on three Ravens relay teams, of which two placed third in the Div. III finals. She is also one of the volleyball programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most intriguing prospects. Although she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start playing until she was 10, Rasmussen, who plays setter and right side, has proven herself to be a quick study. She was a junior varsity standout last season, and projects to be an impact varsity player this fall. CCA volleyball coach Ariel Haas, who also teaches physiology, said athletes rarely compete in swimming and volleyball because the two sports rely on different types of muscle development, noting that swimming promotes long lean muscles that promote endurance. Successful volleyball players, he said, have shorter â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast-twitchâ&#x20AC;? burst muscles that promote explosive movements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Swimming and volleyball) typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blend very well with each other,â&#x20AC;? Haas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My initial reaction was that she would have to pick one or the other, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to be successful at both sports. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting and surprising that she can be successful at both at the same time.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen has been swimming since she was 3, but is a latecomer to volleyball. She went out for the sport at the

Carly Rasmussen prodding of her parents, both of whom played competitively. Her father, Dean Rasmussen, played elite-level volleyball for Team USA. Her mother, Deana Iwasaki, played Div. I volleyball at University of Pacific (Stockton). â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents basically forced me into it and I absolutely hated it the first few years, but I started playing in high school and it was actually really fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. It was especially fun when her Coast Volleyball 15-andunder team placed seventh in a USA Volleyball national tournament in Atlanta last month. The highlight of her swimming career was making the cut in several events at the USA Swimming 2010 Speedo Western Regionals when she was 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was one of the younger swimmers at that event and I

actually swam in the same pool as Kosuke Kitajima, who has the world record in several events, so that was really intense.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen said. Rasmussen believes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a better volleyball player than she is a swimmer. She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to play both sports in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose,â&#x20AC;? she insists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very different. I love them both a lot.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen is among a crop of CCA newcomers who will be counted on to help the volleyball team maintain its winning tradition. The Ravens are coming off their most successful season, advancing to their first San Diego Section Div. III finals and placing third in the state tournament. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have big shoes to fill after graduating standout Samantha Cash, who will play at Div. I Pepperdine next season. In addition to her athleticism, Rasmussen brings court smarts and some intangibles, Haas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think she brings a hate-to-lose attitude because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so successful in so many arenas,â&#x20AC;? Haas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She brings that mentality to everything she does, including volleyball, and that can be contagious.â&#x20AC;? Rasmussen has also excelled in the classroom, maintaining a 4.0 GPA while balancing two sports and her writing hobby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hard-working, very bright and if not the best, one of the best at everything she does,â&#x20AC;? said Haas, who had Rasmussen in one of his classes last year. And although there are physiological reasons for why few athletes are able to excel in both volleyball and swimming, Rasmussen sees hard work as the thread that connects the two sports. Her key to success? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to dedicate yourself to the sport, and actually loving what you do and good time management to balance both of them and school,â&#x20AC;? she said. Which probably also explains her passion for creating Harry Potter-style witch and wizard characters in her writing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the characters that stick with me, not the details of the plot,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still just a little kid at heart. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still waiting for witches and wizards to appear.â&#x20AC;?

Wave 13-Abra volleyball team wins Festival National Championship Every year, hundreds upon hundreds of teams brave the formidable desert heat and travel to compete in the Volleyball Festival in Phoenix, Ariz. This national indoor junior girls volleyball tournament attracts thousands of spectators and players alike. One of the Encinitas teams, Wave 13-Abra, chose to make the trip recently and compete for a Festival National Championship. Nicknamed the “Little Team that Could” (due to their lack of stature when compared to most opponents), Wave 13-Abra attained a #1 seeding based on prior results throughout the season. This seeding, along with a lack of players, made Coach Abra Amwake a little nervous. “I knew going in to the tournament that every team would play better against the #1 seed. It’s just how these things work. Every team, player, and coach wants to say ‘We knocked off the #1 team.’ Combine that with the fact that we only had nine players (most teams have 12) to last an entire grueling four-day tournament, and we had our work cut out for us.” Wave 13-Abra was not to be denied, as they completed the tournament 12-0, with only two game losses. One of the game losses came in the finals against Arizona East Valley Juniors 13-1. Wave 13-Abra overcame a 4-12 deficit and won game one 25-18, only to turn around a lose game 2 by the same score (18-25). In game three, however, Wave 13-Abra never looked back and cruised to a 15-9 win. A wise person once said, “The true test of a champion does not come when they win after being behind in a competition. The true test of a champion comes when said champion is ahead, encounters a significant challenge, and fights the challenger off to pull out the victory.” Wave 13-Abra is most certainly that team.

North Shore is headed to States. Front Row: Morgan McIntyre. Middle Row: Courtney Kim, Lauren Scheg, Mikaila Reyes, Sydny Poh, Ally Harvey, Cassie Kaelber, and Maddie Ley. Back Row: Erin Vandertie, Carley Sheppard, Christina Bragado, Kennedy Kidd, Mia Montini, and Chase Zapata. Coaches: Kent Zapata, Dave Vandertie, John McIntyre, Es Reyes, and Tim Scheg.

North Shore 12U gold all-stars qualify for State Tournament The 12U gold all-star team of the North Shore Girls Softball League knows how to win when it really counts. North Shore took third place in the North County Girls Softball District Championship, June 24-26, earning the team a qualifying birth in the State Championship in Lancaster, Calif., July 8-10. North Shore began the District Tournament with a 15-1 win over Poway, but then had to face a tough Penasquitos team, losing 8-4. With double-elimination in play, one more loss would have meant the end of the tournament and the end of the season for the team. “We had a tough schedule at Districts,” said North Shore manager Kent Zapata. “We played seven games during the weekend, while other teams in our division played only four. We didn’t let it get us down; instead it made the girls more focused.” Next, North Shore took on Mira Mesa. With a strong defense and pitching, North Shore quickly took a six-run lead to win the game 9-3. Needing two more wins to stay alive in the tournament, North Shore played Rancho Bernardo. Once again, North Shore jumped out to a quick lead thanks to Kennedy Kidd’s grand-slam home run, winning the game 8-0. In the qualifying round, North Shore faced Carlsbad. Both teams played their best, but by the bottom of the fourth inning North Shore had a 2-1 lead. With North Shore at bat in the bottom of the fifth inning and bases loaded again, Kidd hit another spectacular grand-slam home run, winning the game 8-2 and securing North Shore’s spot at States. After qualifying, North Shore still had to play one more game to finish the tournament. Once again, they faced Penasquitos. This time, they were victorious with a 4-3 win to finish in third place. “Districts was truly a team effort, with every player on the team contributing,” said Zapata. “Our girls are fired up for States.”

Tad McCardell, a 17-year-old Canyon Crest Academy senior (in the fall) was awarded the “2010 – 2011 National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) Top Scholar of the Year” in Huntington Beach on July 3 at the culmination of the NSSA National Championship surfing competition. Tad, who completed his junior year with a 4.7 GPA, finished his competition year with a #10 ranking and qualified to surf in the Nationals event earlier in the week at Huntington Beach Pier. He participates in the Southwest division of the Explorer Junior series competing from September each year through June. The large and highly competitive series honors their academic performers and this year Tad was Tad McCardell awarded their top National scholastic honor, which included surfers from all ages and divisions: Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Hawaii, Northwest, Northeast, Southeast/North, Southeast, and Gold Coast. Tad surfed the Nationals against 60 top qualifying surfers from all the divisions. On the podium, in his acceptance speech, Tad gave a “shout out” to thank the long- standing NSSA organization (Janice Aragon and Gayline Clifford, directors for the past 34 years), his family and friends for their opportunities and support. He recognized his surfboard sponsor, Wave Hog (Larry Legroe), and local surf school Fulcrum Surf. Dan Mori, of Fulcrum Surf, has been his Canyon Crest Academy surf coach for several years. The CCA school team won 2nd place in the California state competition this year in the Scholastic Surfing Series (SSS). Tad made mention of his appreciation for Canyon Crest Academy’s excellent teachers and curriculum offerings, as well as his camaraderie with his local surfing buddies. Famous surfer Peter Townend and the Mayor of Huntington Beach were there to shake Tad’s hand.

Six Questions

New Del Mar Rotary Club president shares creative plans for a busy year The Del Mar Rotary Club recently welcomed Sharyn Daly as its new president. Daly hails from Stockton but has called Del Mar home for about 30 years. Proving to be precocious, Daly earned her real estate license when she was still in high school — something she did at the urging of her father, who was a real estate agent Sharyn Daly for many years. Before raising her three daughters, Daly taught Spanish to high school students and dealt Black Jack for a short stint. When her children were school-aged, Daly dedicated years to fundraising and volunteering with neighborhood PTA groups. Once her children were grown, Daly worked from home to support International Relief Teams, which brought aid to those in need around the world. These days she’s still making good use of her real estate license as an agent for Coldwell Banker off Via de la Valle, an office she said she chose because of its “commitment to the community, support, and honesty in business. Daly was selected by past club president Dan Henderson as “Del Mar’s Rotarian of the Year” for exemplifying Rotary’s “service about self” attitude and coordinating the Soiree fundraiser, as well as Chili and Quacker’s projects. Daly, who is now the proud grandmother of three granddaughters, said Del Mar Rotary has enriched her life in ways she never anticipated. Here, she sheds some light on how the club has given her a new lease on life, and what she hopes to achieve while she’s at the helm. The Del Mar Rotary Club meets Thursdays at noon inside St. Peter’s Church Fellowship Hall, 334 14th Street. For more information, please visit delmarrotary.org. How were you introduced to Rotary? My father was the president of the Rotary club in my hometown Stockton, so I guess you could say I was a “Rotarian brat.” My father dedicated many years to Rotary, so when he came to visit me in Del Mar about four years ago, he wanted to visit the club here. I went with him and loved it, and I’ve been involved ever since. What was it about the Del Mar Rotary Club that captured your heart? Honestly, it felt good to be around likeminded people with good intentions. I’ve lived in Del Mar for 30 years, but Rotary has helped me connect with the community and give back in a way I never have before. It’s been like finding a wonderful family here in my neighborhood. I understand that each Rotary presi-

Death Race winner Joe Decker, center, with his team, from left, Jeff Bales, Gentry Marks, Vu Tran and Roger Bernstein

Trainer wins Spartan Death Race–again BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer For the second year in a row, Joe Decker crawled, hauled, suffered, survived and ultimately bested “The Spartan Death Race.” Decker, who runs the popular Gut Check Fitness boot camp at several Carmel Valley parks, recently completed the Vermont race in 39 grueling hours — about 11 hours longer than it took him the first time he won the event in 2010. The race, which started June 25, involved obstacles such as eight hours of chopping wood, 10 miles running through an ice-cold river, 30 miles hiking up a mountain with a 70- pound backpack, and crawling through barbwire. “All kinds of nonsense. Luckily there was no eating bad stuff this year,” said Decker, referencing last year’s race in which he had to eat 10 pounds of onions. Decker ran the race with a team from San Diego, including Roger Bernstein, Vu Tran, Gentry Marks and Jeff Bales, a teacher at Ocean Air School. The group trained for nine months in preparation for the unpredictable, physically and mentally demanding race.

Spartan Death Race winner Joe Decker Very few of the 150 entrants are able to complete the race, where the goal is to get people to drop out. Tran was able to finish the race about five hours after Decker, and Bales and Bernstein lasted 28 hours. “Overall, they did a really good job and I’m very proud of them,” Decker said. There is always an East-West Coast rivalry, with the East Coasters calling

Decker’s team “California Girls.” “Someone from California won it for the second year in a row so apparently we’re doing something right out here,” Decker said. Decker said the hardest part of Death Race 2011 was coming down the “substantial mountain” and hiking up a stream for two to three miles on a straight vertical—even through a waterfall. Running through acres of blackberry briars was also brutal and he has the cutup ankles and calves to prove it. “I’m in so much pain,” Decker said in an interview on June 30. “I have bloody marks all over.” Despite an aching back and thighs that were virtually “filleted” by the axe used to chop logs, Decker expected to be back working out by Monday, July 4. “I’ll take the weekend off and start again,” said Decker. “I enjoy [working out], it’s my life. It keeps me balanced, it keeps me sane.” Death Race, he admits, is a little bit insane. Insane but fun. He’s not quite sure if he will sign up again for 2012 but he won’t rule it out. He’s got a title to defend and a three-peat is a definite pos-

Accomplished photographer’s July 16 show to feature iconic actress Ginger Rogers

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR One of Helen MontgomeryDrysdale’s favorite quips, is, “I don’t believe in color — it’s distracting.” The veteran photographer has steadfastly adhered to this artistic preference, shooting in high contrast black and white, and won’t even consider digital photography. The quality doesn’t compare, she said. Now the public may enjoy a rare exhibition of MontgomeryDrysdale’s fine art photographs on display at the courtyard gallery ARTISTSPACE, located in the Herb Turner-designed, Southfair, on Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar. The subject of the show is the iconic actress Ginger Rogers, and her mother Lela. A free opening reception is planned for 6 - 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 16, which is the 100th anniversary of Rogers’ birth. Rachel Turner Thomas, director of ARTISTSPACE, facilitated the show. Montgomery-Drysdale said the exhibition serves as a loving “memorial” to the movie legend who is most famed for her dancing roles with Fred Astaire and who won an Academy Award for her leading role in the movie “Kitty Foyle” in 1940. In 1945 she was

Hollywood’s highest paid star and, surprisingly, in 1936 was commissioned as the only woman admiral of the Texas Navy, according to the official Ginger Rogers website. But that is not surprising to Montgomery-Drysdale, who said that both Rogers and her mother were fiercely patriotic. Rogers testified against the famed “Hollywood 10” screenwriters, who during the McCarthy witch hunt of the 1950s, refused to answer questions when called to testify before Congressional hearings into Communist involvement in the film industry. Rogers believed them Communists and risked her movie star career when

she testified. When World War I began, Lela was one of the first 10 women to enlist in the U.S Marine Corps. A journalist, she served as editor of the Marine’s “Leatherneck” publication. Ginger Rogers found work on the stage after those hearings and became Montgomery-Drysdale’s first major public relations client in 1963 when Montgomery-Drysdale served as director of public relations for the La Jolla Playhouse where the two were introduced. A phone call from Rogers suggested they meet at La Valencia Hotel where she was staying during her run at the playhouse. Rogers’ mother was also there. “She insisted that I call her Aunty Lela,” recalled Montgomery-Drysdale fondly. “She considered me her ‘other daughter’.” The friendship, both professional and social, stood the test of time. And Montgomery-Drysdale had the privilege to enter the inner world of the two Rogers ladies’ lives. She was invited to photograph the Rogers’ 1,000-acre ranch in Jackson County, Oregon, located along the Rogue River. A working farm, it supplied dairy products to nearby Camp White, a military station established for the duration of World War II. She also

took shots in their Beverly Hills home and was privileged to photograph Rogers’ bedroom suite where her Oscar trophy was displayed on the fireplace. Montgomery-Drysdale was introduced to photography 50 years ago. She was hired as an assistant to two Italian photographers based in New York . “I was an English and art major and was initially hired to write captions for them. I knew the difference between nouns and adjectives,” she joked. But the valuable connections made while working in this capacity led Montgomery-Drysdale to learn the craft of portrait photography.

She has photographed other movie icons, including Vincent Price, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Burt Lancaster, Morgan Fairchild, Perry Como, Carol Channing and many more. Montgomery-Drysdale came to Del Mar more than 30 years ago. She lives there with her cousin Dayna Carroll. The two are firm collaborators and share a favorite subject: Louis Armstrong. Carroll, a vocalist, was once coached by the iconic jazz performer, who would later be captured on camera by Montgomery-Drysdale. “What a wonderful gentleman he was,” Carroll said. A photograph on the wall of their living room shows Armstrong at one of his birthday celebrations held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Signed photographic prints will be for sale at the exhibition. Sizes range from 16” x 24” up to about “20 x 30.” Visit www.hmdfoto.net to see more. The free, catered, opening reception is planned at Southfair (2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd.), from 6 - 9 p.m., on Saturday, July 16. Helen and Dayna will also be available to give private tours and retell the stories of the works, for those unable to attend the reception. Call (858) 755 6923 to set up an appointment.

Seaside dining makes every meal feel like a vacation treat at Poseidon in Del Mar The patio overlooks the beach and ocean.

BY KELLEY CARLSON t Poseidon restaurant in Del Mar, guests are easily reminded of the Greek god of the seas, with ocean views from every seat and the scent of saltwater in the air. “We try to bring the outside in,” said Tom Ranglas Jr., a partner in the family-owned business. Upon entering the establishment, guests will catch sight of a screen depicting shoreline scenes behind the hostesses, as two swordfish “swim” overhead. A “beach rock” path leads the way to the seating areas, consisting of split-level dining, a bar and a patio. Bluegray, brown, beige and cream are the predominant colors of the decor, representing water and sand. Music by Latin guitarists plays softly in the background during the sunset hour on Fridays. “It’s a charming, relaxed atmosphere,” Ranglas said. “You feel like you’re on vacation and transported to a different place.” Both upper- and lower-level dining offer cushioned, U-shaped booths facing the Pacific, along with tables lining the windows. The upper level features a sliding window that can separate it from the lower level in the event of a private party; the lower level has floor-to-ceiling windows that fully open, enabling the west wall to “disappear,” according to Ranglas.

Ceviche consists of shrimp marinated with lemon and lime juices, cilantro, onions, avocado and tomato. Chef Carlos Enriquez and Executive Chef Mourad Jamal

Guests in the bar/lounge can sit at the glass-and-sand fireplace.

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’

■ This week: Poseidon’s Halibut Tapenade Adjacent to the dining areas is the bar/lounge, where patrons can socialize, watch a sporting event on the TV, or sit around a glassand-sand fireplace. For the full outdoor experience, head to the patio, the most popular seating area. Umbrellas shade the tables during the summer; a cover is overhead from October through June. There are also heat lamps for use when the weather is chilly. Executive Chef Mourad Jamal advises guests who want to sit on the patio to come early. Sunset and high noon tend to be the busiest times; Tuesdays and Wednesdays are slower during daylight hours, but the pace picks up later with the start of the half-price wine bottle nights, Ranglas said. Despite its location on the beach, Poseidon is not strictly a seafood establishment. Of course, there are entrees from the ocean such as Pistachio Crusted Sustainable Salmon and Wild

Alaskan Halibut. But Jamal also pointed out that there is food from the fields and farms, as well. For example, there is “Free Range & Natural” Rosemary Chicken Breast, Tequila-Lime Tortellini, Kona Certified Angus Beef Aged Ribeye, Thai Stir Fry and Potato & Parmesan Gnocchi. The simpler kids menu ranges from PB & J (peanut butter and jelly) sandwiches to Mini Burgers and Coconut Shrimp.

Birch Aquarium exhibit has ‘boundless energy’ The power of the majestic Pacific Ocean will set the stage for an exhibit about energy, opening Saturday, July 9 at Birch Aquarium on the outdoor Robert Smargon Court overlooking the sea. “Boundless Energy,” is an interactive experience that explores how mankind can use natural forces to power its daily needs. Sponsored in part by the Sempra Energy Foundation, the exhibition will showcase innovative ways to harness renewable energy from the sun, wind and ocean motion. It features educational elements that encourage learning through play. Organizers say the exhibit will deepen visitors’ understanding of how renewable energy sources can produce clean electricity, the benefits and challenges of deriving energy from these sources, and the changes making such energy increasingly available in the marketplace. Highlights include: learning about renewable energy sources to decide how to power the future; powering a mechanical fish with solar energy; comparing the latest wind turbine innovations; and creating green energy out of the blue at wave tanks and water tables. There will also be a play area for children, where activity drives a kinetic water sculpture. “Boundless Energy” is

Dedicated by former Vice President Al Gore in 2007, “Feeling the Heat” highlights Scripps’ half-century of leadership in studying climate change and educates about current and projected environmental changes caused by society’s over-use of fossil fuels. “We want to show our visitors – especially children – the exciting future that awaits us all,” said Nigella Hillgarth, aquarium executive director. “Through human ingenuity, we can create a future in which clean power comes from renewable sources, a future that supports our quality of life and protects the health of people and our planet.”

Encinitas Classic Car Cruise Nights kicks off July 21 On Thursday, July 21, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., the Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association (DEMA) will be celebrating the beginning of summer by kicking off the 13th Annual Encinitas Classic Car Cruise Nights, the first of four in the summer series. This year’s series will be greatly expanded, starting with six dedicated lots for car clubs. Encinitas Foreign & Domestic is sponsoring the SMOG Test Only Awards Lot and Stellar Solar will be solar-powering the bands

there throughout the series. Cardiff Classics will be hosting a car club and a band, and Charlie’s Foreign Car will be welcoming a club in their Regent Lot. Three other downtown Encinitas locations – the Small Mall, Sofspra and The Black Sheep — will host additional car clubs, and special “Recommended Parking for Classic Cars” signs will make added room for the many cars who park in available curbside spots. In addition to doubling the available parking, DEMA

is doubling the music venues, with one stage at each end of town. Come early for the best parking spots because parking is limited, and dine at one of the many fantastic restaurants in Downtown Encinitas before the event “shifts into 5th gear.” The event will be held in Downtown Encinitas from D Street to K Street with live music at Cardiff Classics at 1049 S.

dent gets to create a club motto. What’s your motto? My motto is: “Rotary Club of Del Mar, where good deeds multiply.” I picked that motto because I’ve seen the members of this club go out of their way to help others in every area of our service: community, vocational, new generation, international, and club service. How does it feel to be president? I’m really grateful. Being able to facilitate the dreams of members in this club is a gift. Each member has something to give, and Rotary is a wonderful vehicle to promote that. I was considering retiring, but the Del Mar Rotary Club has given me new life. What’s on the horizon for Del Mar Rotary this year? We have a wonderful line-up of speakers. There’s going to be a great variety, everything from service organizations, to police, to arts groups, to our local leaders.

Our club is continuing to grow in diversity, and becoming increasingly vivacious. We even recently preformed a flash-mob as a tribute to our outgoing president Dan Henderson, who moved to Northern California. That was our first flash-mob performance, but I don’t think it’ll be our last because it was great fun. What would you say to anyone who has never checked out a Del Mar Rotary lunch? Please come for a free lunch, and be my guest. We are going to expand our club, and we’d love your input.

Del Mar craftsman converts van to ‘mobile audio concert hall’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR Audiophile Jon Whitledge recently completed what he refers to as his “rolling curriculum vitae,” a mobile sound system that officially debuted in April at the San Diego entertainment and restaurant venue Tango Del Rey. “Music is one of the greatest things in life we have to share and enjoy,” according to Whitledge. “And as our lifestyles become more pressed for time, the solitude of our cars may be the only place where we can enjoy music to its fullest.” With this in mind, Whitledge, a scientist, engineer, and craftsman set out to design and build a sound system capable of being compared to the finest home audio system, and one step closer to live music. It represents the culmination of a 22-year industrial career and it took 9,000 hours of labor and six and a

half years to complete. The system’s two-channel stereo includes nine loudspeaker transducers powered by 4620 watts of amplification and is designed with state-of-the-art components using industry names such as Dynaudio, Genesis, Kimber Kable and more. Power is provided by a giant marine battery from Lifeline Batteries. Installed in a retrofitted Mercedes Sprinter cargo van, with form following function, it has been dubbed, “a mobile audio concert hall” by recording engineer Jim Merod. Whitledge calls it his Magic Bus. Whitledge decided to take on the project because he was looking for an opportunity to “Make an impact, even be the best at something,” he said. “I took stock of my talents and decided that this was doable. And most things in our life are dictated by a lack of time and a lack of money but the Magic Bus was the first time

Jon Whitledge and his ‘Magic Bus.’ in my life where I was free to make something with no regard for difficulty, time or money. And I think that’s why it turned out so well.” The skills required to design and build the Magic Bus drew from Whitledge’s numerous disciplines, including mechanical and electrical engineering, acoustics, loudspeaker design, computer-aided design, metalworking, woodworking, advanced composites, automotive and industrial coatings, interior design,

subjective listening skills, and more. In addition to its technical marvels, the Magic Bus is also the only audio system that is extensively autographed by Grammy Awardwinning and other famous musicians. More than 200 musicians’ signatures increase both the value and the interest in the Magic Bus. Men, passionate about audio, have told Whitledge that he has done a great favor to mankind. “They tell

me, ‘When our wives complain to us, we refer to you, and say, ‘It could be worse!’” Whitledge, an Ohio native who grew up on a farm, lives with his Brazilian wife Jeaneth, in Del Mar. “She is one of the most highly regarded women in audio because of her patience and support. I literally could not have done the project without her, she’s been a big part of this,”he said. Support was also offered by corporate sponsors. Initially Whitledge sent out technical proposals, some 20 pages long, which were subsequently “ignored,” he said. But as the project moved along sponsors agreed to provide their products in exchange for visibility. The Magic Bus was exhibited at The Home Entertainment (T.H.E.) Show in Newport Beach last month. Robert Harley, a noted national audio reviewer, reported accolades for Whitledge’s system. “It was thrill-

ing to get that honor, as technically the Magic Bus is not an in-home audio system,” said Whitledge about Harley’s blogged review, which reads in part: “The system had effortless dynamics, very high resolution of low-level detail, tremendous timbral fidelity, and threw a soundstage that rivaled that of a well-set-up home system.” Today Whitledge specializes in the design, installation, and tuning of custom, high-fidelity mobile and home audio systems. In looking ahead, Whitledge would love to take his Magic Bus to Brazil to be a part of the opening ceremonies for Carnivale and would also love to be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he said.

Children learn that healthy eating can be fun and enjoyable through creative cooking camps BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR The Harper Branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito in Solana Beach is in full swing with its weekly Healthy Cooking Camp for kids. Using the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, which opened on Earth Day 2009, camp director Amanda Curry has designed some exciting and creative culinary camps. Already underway is Cooking Camp Route 66. Campers take a virtual transcontinental journey from Los Angeles to Chicago along the

famed Route 66 and learn some geography and history along the way. Connected with each city visited on their â&#x20AC;&#x153;road tripâ&#x20AC;? is a healthy nutritious menu of regional recipes that the kids make themselves and eat at camp. Foods such as Wigwam Muffins, Arizona Sunrise Smoothies , Sweet Cadillac Chili, and Honest Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gingerbread Frozen Yogurt are some of the recipes that the kids try. Campers keep daily journals, learn about kitchen safety, hygiene and nutrition, do arts and crafts, and outdoor

activities when not in the kitchen. And at the end of the week they have their own recipe book. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about creating an awareness that healthy eating is good for kids. Pizza is a favorite recipe, said Curry, with the kids making the dough from scratch and then adding fresh herbs such as oregano and basil and fresh spinach straight from the garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the kids actually pick the foods they absolutely will 100 percent eat it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to watch it happen. When healthy foods are just

OBITUARIES

Edwin Waggoner Smith 1914 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2011 Edwin Smith, 96, of Del Mar Terrace, died peacefully of natural causes Tuesday evening, May 31, 2011, at home in the hilltop house he and his second wife, Bea, built in the early 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Mr. Smith was born July 25, 1914, in Greeley, CO, where he lived through his college years. His mother, Hazel Smith Benton, died in the ďŹ&#x201A;u epidemic of 1919. Edwin, along with his two sisters, Vera and Sylvia Ruth, was adopted and raised by his maternal grandparents, Isaac Sidney Smith and Mary Frances Waggoner Smith, and their daughter, Eula Smith. Mr. Smith graduated in 1935 with a B.A. in Speech from Greeley State Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; College, now the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley. He taught high school in Wray, CO, before returning to Greeley for graduate school. Mr. Smith went on to achieve dual Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees in English and in Psychology. While in college, he worked as an early radio disc jockey and studied â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salesmanship and Advertisingâ&#x20AC;? at Barnes School of Commerce in Denver, CO.

Mr. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work career in Colorado started early. At 10 years old he delivered daily neighborhood newspapers from his bicycle, in sunshine or snow, for $2.50 per week. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, he worked in Bellingham, WA, at KVOS radio station as a disc jockey, announcer, and radio operator. While in Bellingham, Mr. Smith taught â&#x20AC;&#x153;Broadcastingâ&#x20AC;? at Western Washington College of Education, now Western Washington University. Following Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Mr. Smith qualiďŹ ed for Civil Service as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radio Engineerâ&#x20AC;? and in 1942 moved to San Diego to begin work at the Navy Radio and Sound Laboratory, subsequently named Navy Electronics Laboratory (N.E.L.) on Point Loma, now the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center. He worked at the N.E.L. through WWII teaching Navy enlisted men and ofďŹ cers classes in early Radar, Sonar and Underwater Detection. During his work career at N.E.L. from July 1942 until his retirement in 1974, Mr. Smith successfully obtained three U.S. Patents in electronics communications and control. Also for one year, he taught â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Psychology of Personal Adjustmentâ&#x20AC;? at San Diego Junior College. Mr. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s avocation for many years was developing and selling San Diego real estate, notably in Poway and in Del Mar Terrace where he has lived since 1960. During his real estate avocation years, he studied civil engineering and became a self-taught surveyor using a 1960s 4-wheel-drive Scout and a small bulldozer

in the back country of Poway. By the late 1960s, Mr. Smith owned numerous lots in upper Del Mar Terrace and was instrumental in developing them into house sites with roads, city sewer and underground electricity service, novel for its time. Mr. Smith was preceded in death by his ďŹ rst wife, Berrell Ewer Smith Pronold, whom he divorced in 1960; his second wife, Beatrice Elizabeth Wirtz Smith and her son, John P. Wirtz; and his sisters, Sylvia Ruth Smith Loomis and Vera Smith Huffman. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Rev. Peggy Smith Block and David E. Block of RidgeďŹ eld, CT; son and daughter-in-law, Stanley C. and Barbara S. Smith of Bishop, CA; stepdaughter and her husband, Lynn M. and Richard G. Shanks of San Diego, CA; nine grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. No services will be held at his request. He will be laid to rest alongside his second wife, Beatrice E. W. Smith, at El Camino Memorial Park, Sorrento Valley, San Diego, CA. The family suggests donations to a charity of choice in honor of Edwin W. Smith. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/delmartimes.

Young chefs at work presented on a plate 10 percent of the time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat it. But if they pick and cook it themselves, they will eat it,â&#x20AC;? Curry stressed. The organic garden, designed by landscape architect and Solana Beach resident Katie Pelisek, is a big part of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my dream to take the kids out into the garden and have them harvest it and that is now coming true,â&#x20AC;? said Curry. Carolyn Perkins and Shawn Studer, owner of Instant Organic Gardens who provides worm castings and professional advice, each help keep the garden healthy and productive, Curry said. For the past year Curry has led healthy cooking classes with both the general public and the Boys and Girls Club afterschool program. Jimboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has been a major sponsor and provides all of the food that is not grown in the garden, free of charge, to anyone who wants to take the cooking class. Curryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent for engaging kids in healthy eating is a simple one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key to my philosophy with kids and cooking is that healthy food is fun. When you eat healthy you feel good and when you feel good thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. And when you feel good

you are able to do whatever you want to do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a kid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; run faster, jump higher, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pinnacle of having a great life.â&#x20AC;? She aims to educate kids that healthy food is not the drag that most people make it out to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Junk food is the drag!â&#x20AC;? she said. In line with her mission to educate kids about nutrition, Curry, until recently, produced a kids cooking show on Cox Community television, which she plans to revisit. Called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Food Factory,â&#x20AC;? Curry would like to eventually film the show out of the Center for Healthy Lifestyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Filming what we are doing in the garden and in the kitchen, so that we can bring it to a wider audience in San Diego,â&#x20AC;? she said. Upcoming themes for the next camps include an introduction to international cuisine and cultures through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock Star: World Tour,â&#x20AC;? July 18-22 and July 25-29; and learning about meals from bygone eras in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Past, Present and Future,â&#x20AC;? from August 8-12 and August 22-26. Visit www.positiveplacesd.org to find out more about the week-long camps or call 858 755-9371. Kids should be members (but it is free to join).

San Diego actress returns to star in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sleeping Beauty Wakesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Musical theater actress Aspen Vincent, who grew up in Pacific Beach, has the lead in La Jolla Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleeping Beauty Wakes,â&#x20AC;? which runs July 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Aug. 21 at the Mandell Weiss Theatre. In her younger days, Vincent said she spent 10 years performing with Starlight Musical Theater, Christian Youth Theater (CYT) and Christian Community Theater (CCT) before attending Chapman University to study music. When job offers began enticing the singer in her third year, she said couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse chasing her dream of a stage career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never had any formal training, but CYT and CCT were a great starting place,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That organization is a huge part of why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a professional actress today.â&#x20AC;? After college, Vincent took a role as the voice talent of Dodie Bishop in the three-time Emmynominated animated show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Told By Ginger.â&#x20AC;?

One of her most unusual choices was to tour with Meat Loaf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the lead female in the Las Vegas show â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rock You,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and several members of the band were from his band as he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on tour that year,â&#x20AC;? Vincent explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the show closed, I moved to New York to pursue theater. Then I got a call that Meat Loafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backup singer left, a week out from a world tour. I was cast and had four days to learn the entire three-hour-long concert.â&#x20AC;? Vincent had just made her Broadway debut in â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idiotâ&#x20AC;? when she was of-

fered a part in Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McCarter Theatre â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleeping Beauty Wakes,â&#x20AC;? which was transferring from Berkeley to New York. She said she found the score by composer Brendan Milburn and lyricist Valerie Vigoda (both of the acclaimed trio GrooveLily), cutting edge and groundbreaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company was looking for a belter, and someone older than 16, but who looked 16,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I missed performing every night, so I auditioned and got the role. GrooveLily is not traditional musical theater. Once I heard them, I thought they were great musicians, but I was curious about how their folksy style would transfer to stage music; now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;m so impressed. Their instruments are very resonance driven, and Valerie plays the violin so beautifully.â&#x20AC;? Returning to San Diego, especially to work at the La Jolla Playhouse, is very special for Vincent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Playhouse is the theater I went to when I was growing up and to be able to come back here after fulfilling my dreams to be a Broadway actress is humbling and an honor. This is where I slept outside waiting to get rush tickets! Seeing shows here inspired the career I wanted.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sleeping Beauty Wakes,â&#x20AC;? is not to be confused with the doc-

umentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waking Sleeping Beauty.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story, according to Vincent, that appeals across-generations. She said the message is to find the courage to be completely in the moment and living your life completely awake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every character in this show is being held back, by a fear, neurosis, or lack of something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping them from living fully. My character is literally asleep and not able to do anything, but then she finds a way to break out of the prison sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in for so long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every other

character finds a magical breakthrough in their lives and they realize they need to revaluate their relationships with a spouse or child, or need to be recommitted to their jobs. So often weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re held back by fear and get stuck in these patterns where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been existing for years and not taking full advantage of the life that is so beautiful and precious, and the relationships around us, and not giving everything we can to them.â&#x20AC;? While enjoying the highs of a Broadway performer, Vincent said she understands her career comes with lows as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m acquainted with the pain thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of this industry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the insecurity of not knowing when your next job is coming; of not having a steady income and being flexible to play leading roles or wait tables. When young people ask my advice, I tell them to only pursue this career if it will kill your soul to not do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no regrets, even if next year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m waiting tables back in New York City. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to do and it brings me joy. I know I bring other people joy and I move people with what God has gifted me. For me, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a more blessed career.â&#x20AC;?

To Your Health: Living with congestive heart failure BY JAMES (TOM) HEYWOOD, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH What does it mean when the heart fails? While its name might suggest otherwise, congestive heart failure doesn’t mean the heart has stopped working; instead, it fails to effectively pump enough blood to the body’s organs or to fill without an abnormal increase in pressure. Commonly known as CHF, congestive heart failure affects about five million Americans. It is a serious condition that requires ongoing medical care, but with the proper management, most people with CHF can manage the condition and lead otherwise healthy lives. CHF can take years to develop or can happen overnight with a large heart attack.; it is one of the most common reasons that people age 65 and older need hospital care. It can be caused by a number of factors, including narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (coronary artery disease), heart valve disease, or high blood pressure. The heart muscle itself may be diseased or infected. In some cases, CHF results from congenital heart defects which have been present since birth. The most common symptoms of CHF include breathing problems, sudden weight gain of five pounds or more, and fluid buildup in the legs, ankles and feet. Because the heart cannot pump effectively , blood returning to the heart increases in pressure, causing a build-up of fluid known as congestion in the tissues, especially the lower limbs. Fluid build-up in the lungs may cause shortness of breath. As a result, some people with CHF may find it difficult or impossible to exercise and may become winded just by walking short distances. CHF may also interfere with the kidneys ‘ability to dispose of sodium and water, which can make fluid build-up worse. Any of these symptoms should be evaluated by a physician, who can diagnose CHF and recommend a plan of action. Depending on the cause, treatment may include dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, medication and/or surgery. For example, if CHF is caused by high blood pressure, a proper diet or medication to control blood pressure may be all that is needed. Damaged valves may be surgically repaired or replaced. In very severe cases, a heart transplant may be an option. A number of medications may be used

to help improve the symptoms of CHF as well as prolong survival. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors interfere with the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that may potentially cause heart and circulation problems in CHF patients. ACE inhibitors expand blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow more efficiently. In multiple studies, these medications have been shown to significantly improve symptoms and help prevent heart failure from getting worse. Some patients, however, may not be able to tolerate ACE inhibitors; in this case, an alternative is often recommended. Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) work slightly differently than ACE inhibitors, but the effect on angiotensin II is similar. Beta-blockers improve the pumping ability of the heart’s lower left ventricles. Studies have found that beta-blockers are most effective in CHF patients who are also taking ACE inhibitors. Beta-blockers often are started at very low doses and gradually increased until optimal levels are reached. Digoxin, a medication naturally produced by the foxglove flowering plant, stimulates the heart muscle to contract more forcefully; it also helps improve CHF symptoms and prevent the condition from progressing. Since CHF patients experience fluid build-up, diuretics are often used to treat or prevent fluid retention in the lungs and other tissues by helping the body dispose of excess fluid and sodium through the kidneys. It is especially important for people with heart failure to weigh daily, at the same time and using the same scale, to monitor any sudden weight gain that may indicate fluid build-up. Patients who gain several pounds over just a few days should let their physicians know immediately. In order for these medications to be most effective, they must be taken exactly as prescribed. Let the physician know immediately of any side effects, concerns or questions. Dr. Heywood is a cardiologist with Scripps Health. Scripps offers a free four-week series on Living with Congestive Heart Failure; weekly seminars cover symptom management, exercise, nutrition and heart failure medications.
