Polo Club lease process delayed BY KAREN BILLING When the San Diego Polo Club’s lease expired earlier this year, the San Diego city-owned property, located just west of Rancho Santa Fe on Via de la Valle and El Camino Real, was supposed to go through a request for proposal (RFP) process in May in order to award a new lease on the site. However, Mel Millstein, representative for District One Council member Sherri Lightner, said that the city’s real estate assets division has elected to put the process on hold until a conclusion is reached on the El Camino Real re-alignment project. The city has decided to wait for a cohesive plan on the re-alignment because some of the proposed alternatives, such as the potential roundabouts, would impact the lease hold, Millstein said. Millstein said there is no timetable on when that could happen although construction is set to begin on the El Camino Real re-alignment project in 2014. The environmental impact report on the El Camino Real re-alignment project, including the new bridge, is expected to be released in January 2013. (The new bridge will replace the aging bridge over El Camino Real, just after San Dieguito Road.

TPHS sophomore goes Over the Edge for kids with disabilities BY KAREN BILLING Mackenzie Bath, 15, rappelled 33 floors down the Manchester Grand Hyatt downtown on Aug. 18 for the fourth annual Over the Edge event for Kids Included Together (K.I.T.), a national nonprofit based in San Diego that promotes inclusion for kids with disabilities. Mackenzie raised more than $1,100 for the organization with her rappel. Going over the edge of the building is not something you can really prepare for. “I’ve never done anything like that before and I kind of just went for it,” said Mackenzie, a Torrey Pines High School sophomore. “In the beginning, you’re on a ledge and they tell you to just lean back and that’s really scary. When you’re about halfway down it settles in that you’re doing it.” Mackenzie’s family members got a room on the 18th floor of the hotel and were stationed in the window to wave as she went by. “She got better after she saw us,” said mom Lynne. “Then we all ran out to meet her at the bottom.” Mackenzie was featured in Over the Edge’s promotional literature for the event, as the issue of inclusion is one near and dear to her heart. Her older brother Kevin has special needs and she has seen how inclusion has helped change his life. “My brother has been fortunate to be treated equally in most situations and that has made him the person that he is today: social, happy, funny and fun to be around,” Mackenzie wrote. “Being included has helped him to include everyone around him because he has felt the benefits of it.” Mackenzie is a very active participant in the Best Buddies club, which she has been involved with since her middle school days. The program pairs regular education students with students who have special needs to foster friendships and this year, as a sophomore, she will be president of the school’s club. Her goals this year are to have one event outside of school every month, do some fund-raisers and become more involved in the county-wide Best Buddies prom. “I want to make really great matches between Best Buddies pairs and create friendships outside of just the club,”

Mackenzie said. “I want to set up a strong Best Buddies club that will keep going after I’m gone.” This summer she attended a national Best Buddies leadership conference called “Inclusion Revolution” at the University of Indiana and she is excited to bring what she learned to the club. “I just learned how much Best Buddies can affect people Above: Mackenzie Bath rappelled down and how the Manchester Grand Hyatt for the Over much it can the Edge event for K.I.T. really do for people with disabilities,” Mackenzie said. Kevin participated in Best Buddies while he attended Torrey Pines High and Mackenzie saw the benefits first hand. “(Best Buddies) really gave him confidence to be himself around everyone and gave him really close friendships,” said Mackenzie. “A lot of kids with disabilities can feel closed off…Best Buddies really creates strong friendships. Kevin made so many good friends and when they came over to see him, his face just lit up.”

Kevin graduated from Torrey Pines in 2011 and is now at Taft College in a program for special needs students that teaches them how to live independently. Kevin is one of only 24 students in the program. “I’m really proud of Mackenzie also won a writing contest him,” Mack- this summer. enzie said. In addition to her busy summer climbing down buildings, becoming a better Best Buddies leader, and organizing and running an Amazing Quest summer camp to earn extra money, Mackenzie, an aspiring writer, also won the “Soulbound” short story contest on Figment.com. Out of 284 entries, Mackenzie’s “Best Friend, Boyfriend” received the most user votes and was hand-picked as the winner by the “Soulbound” series author Heather Brewer. As the winner, she will receive the first two books from the “Soulbound” series and the yet-to-be-published third installment with the author’s autograph. “I want to work in a publishing house as a publisher or editor and write on the side,” said Mackenzie of her future goals. Mackenzie is looking for some good TPHS volunteers for Best Buddies. To learn more and apply, visit Bestbuddiesonline.org. The club meets at lunchtime on Thursdays at the lunch tables outside the gym.

TPHS graduate Michael Gallagher’s first feature film, ‘Smiley,’ to open Oct. 11 BY JOE TASH Anyone who sees Michael Gallagher’s new movie is unlikely to ever look at round, yellow happy face stickers in quite the same way again. “Smiley,” which opens in theaters on Oct. 11, is the first feature film directed and co-written by Gallagher, 23, a Torrey Pines High School graduate. The horror/thriller flick features a crazed killer who wears a skin mask with a bloody, upturned half-circle for a mouth and slashes for eyes, stitched together with black sutures. “It’s really quite creepy,” said Gallagher, who now lives in Playa Del Rey in the Los Angeles area. The story is about a college student named Ashley who meets a group of Internet savvy friends. They tell her about an online urban legend — if she types a certain phrase three times, a killer named “Smiley” will appear behind anyone she is chatting with online, and dispatch them. The film delves into real-world fears about online predators and psychological themes, said Gallagher, as Ashley tries to determine if Smiley is real, or a figment of her own distraught mind. “It’s a scary time so we decided to make a scary film,” he said. Locally, the film will debut at the AMC Mission Valley cinema at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 11. In a telephone interview, Gallagher said he knew from the age of 12 that he wanted to be a filmmaker, and he often turned in video projects shot on his father’s camcorder in lieu of written essays or other assignments in school. When he was 14, he took a six-week summer course on filmmaking put on by the New York Film Academy, which was held on the back lot of Universal Studios in Los Angeles. The students were given 16-millimeter cameras and access to a pool of experienced actors, and taught all the elements of making films. “That really opened my eyes up to the possibility of

Michael Gallagher (right) on the set, directing his movie, “Smiley.” having filmmaking be a career,” he said. After graduating high school, he moved to Los Angeles to be closer to the film and video industry, and soon launched his own Internet TV series, Totally Sketch, which offers short comedy episodes to online viewers each week. Since its launch in 2009, Totally Sketch has attracted more than 800,000 subscribers and 320 million views. Gallagher directed music videos and worked on various film projects before setting to work on “Smiley.” The script for the horror film was sent to him by Glasgow Phillips, who has written for the animated series “South Park” on Comedy Central. Over the next six months, Gallagher and Phillips revised the script, further developing the characters and plotline. Gallagher began working with a producer and, “I decided to put my money where my mouth was and finance the film and green light it, basically,” he said. The film was shot over a 15-and-a-half-day period in

Los Angeles, and features a mix of veteran actors, up-and-comers and actors who have attracted large followings in the online video world. The starring role of Ashley is played by Caitlin Gerard, who has appeared in such films as “Magic Mike” and “The Social Network,” and also featured is veteran character actor Keith David. Online actors Shane Dawson and Toby Turner also have parts, Gallagher said. Gallagher’s parents, Michael and Elaine Gallagher of Rancho Santa Fe, who own a realty company, are thrilled by their son’s early success in the movie business. “It’s like every parent’s dream,” said Elaine Gallagher. In spite of the film’s scary topic, she said, it doesn’t dwell on graphic violence, and the pre-Halloween release date should give it a boost at the box office. “It’s really more of a whodunit mystery which I love, who is this Smiley and why is he doing this,” she said. Gallagher, who admires such directors as Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick, is also excited at the prospect of seeing his first feature film on the big screen. “I hope audiences will not only find the film but enjoy it. I want to continue telling stories in all genres and sizes, on the Internet, or traditional film and television,” he said. To see the trailer for “Smiley,” visit www.smileymovie. com.

Local boys create camp for SB youth BY CLAIRE HARLIN About a month and a half ago, two local teens started thinking of something they could do during the summer to help their community. Remembering how expensive it was for them to go to soccer camp as a kid, they decided to put on a free camp for youth who can’t afford it. Michael Stewart, 14, and RSF resident Jason “JT” Henderson, 13, both freshmen at Torrey Pines High School, love playing soccer and their two-day camp, Goals for Kids, ended up being a fun source of learning and inspiration for about 20 kids living in the Eden Gardens area. Held on Aug. 21 and 22 at La Colonia Park, the co-ed camp focused on mechanics and gave the kids, ages 7 to 12, an opportunity to play games and win prizes such as Jamba Juice gift cards and soccer balls. “It feels really good to get to help,” said Michael. “We had everything given to us, so for us, it wasn’t even a second thought.” He added, “The expressions on the kids’ faces were so cool.”

Participants and counselors of Goals for Kids culminate two days of camp at La Colonia Park in Solana Beach. In the back row, far right, are camp founders Jason ‘JT’ Henderson, 13, and Michael Stewart, 14.

RSF Rotary welcomes County CAO Walt Ekard Longtime chief administrative officer for San Diego County Walt Ekard, who is also a former RSF Association manager, recently spoke at a RSF Rotary Club meeting. Ekard recently announced he will leave his position with the county Dec. 1 to pursue other opportunities.

The Education Foundation will present a new video that updates parents on important changes to the school’s funding from the County and State, and underscores how parental support is no longer a “nice to have” but a “need to have” in order to maintain the worldclass education at R. Roger Rowe.

Delaney will work under the direction of former Olympian and founder of the Del Mar Water Polo Club, Brett Ormsby. Splashball is designed to introduce the sport of water polo to children 5-10 years old. The intent is to provide basic skills and understanding of the sport in a recreational format. Although water polo is known for its toughness and endurance, Splashball harnesses all the fun, dynamic aspects of the game in a safe, easyto-learn aquatic experience that will motivate kids to swim and stay fit. The fall session for Splashball and all Del Mar Water Polo levels up to age 18 will be held at Cathedral Catholic High School beginning on Sept. 4. For more information, please visit delmarwaterpoloclub.org.

The Spirit of Liberty Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and celebrating America’s Armed Forces, is making it possible for all Americans to sign the Declaration of Independence, “America’s birth certificate,” and receive their own free copy. “We’re using the political conventions to preview our upcoming national effort to enable every American to declare their love of liberty by signing the Declaration of Independence,” said RSF’s Richard Rovsek, Spirit of Liberty founder and CEO. “In what has been a highly partisan year, we’re seeking to unite all Americans in a renewed commitment to our national ideals.” The Foundation has partnered with DocuSign, the global standard for eSignature. Delegates and guests at the conventions will have access to a special kiosk that will enable visitors to sign their own “John Hancock” on the Declaration and receive a copy. This same technology will be utilized in an upcoming 2013 national tour that the Foundation will announce later this year. “Our work is driven by our desire to support our troops and their families,” Rovsek said. “We are committed to celebrate freedom – and to honor our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who volunteer to risk their lives to defend our liberties and freedoms. Every citizen has a stake in our freedom. Now we have the means to enable every citizen to step up and renew their commitment to the ideals embraced by the Founding Fathers who created our country.” Republican National Convention delegates and guests can visit the kiosk in space 325 on the sixth floor of the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Delegates and guests at the Democratic National Convention can visit the kiosk at the convention center. For more information, visit www.spiritoflibertyfoundation.com.

He will join over 70 other riders of pre-1930 motorcycles from 22 states and 10 foreign countries in a race that begins in Newburgh, NY on Friday, Sept. 7, and finishes in San Francisco 17 days later. “To be a part of this ‘rolling museum’ of classic motorcycles on a trek that started almost a century ago is really amazing,” said Jacobs. “This is a test of the endurance of both machine and human body.” Jacobs, who starred with his daughter Alexis in the season two premiere of ABC Television’s “Secret Millionaire” in June, attended the Motorcycle Cannonball as a spectator two years ago and was bitten by the bug to race. Antique motorcycle speScott Jacobs on his 1927 Harley-Davidson J. cialist and former Cannonballer Steve Huntzinger restored Jacobs’ 1926 Harley complete with matching helmet, and famed Black Hills Harley-Davidson in Rapid City, South Dakota will sponsor Jacobs’ participation. Jacobs’ wife will ride her Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Sportster and carry a GoPro® camera to document the ride, and their two daughters will join the ride on their motorcycles at Stage 7 in Sturgis, SD. Copies of his acclaimed coffee table book “The Art of Scott Jacobs — The Complete Works” will be available at each stop of the race, and proceeds will be donated to charity. The Motorcycle Cannonball 2012 is a motorcycle endurance run with competition based on precision riding and navigational skills on classic motorcycles. The pre-determined 3,950-mile route, which kicks off at the Motorcyclepedia Museum, takes riders through a dozen scenic national parks and forests. Highlights include riding along the coast of Lake Erie, through the plains, the Badlands and the Rockies and finishing on 100 miles of the Pacific Coast Highway across the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco. The 16 stages range from 93 to 326 miles, and less than 100 miles of the trip will be on interstates. Plans call for four stops at motorcycle museums, including hosted receptions, several hosted lunch stops at Harley-Davidson dealers, and a few city-hosted events. Motorcycles will be on display at each stop, and the public is encouraged to take photos and meet the riders. For more information, visit scottjacobsstudio.com or www.motorcyclecannonball.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local man shares story of being a POW and WWII bombardier BY CLAIRE HARLIN While he may be gloriously decorated, bearing an Air Medal, two Purple Hearts and a Presidential Unit Citation, William “Bill” Laughlin will tell you that he’s a survivor, not a hero. The resident of Carmel Valley’s Emeritus assisted living community will turn 92 on Sept. 8, but he still vividly remembers what he went through in 1944, when he was shot down from his B-24 bomber and captured in Romania as a prisoner of war. He endured a grueling five and a half months of detainment in a girls’ school in Bucharest, eating cabbage soup, sleeping in a mattress made of hay, and withstanding lice and bed bugs. But he still says he thinks he had it pretty good compared to many other World War II veterans who were shot down over Japan or Germany, or the tens of thousands who didn’t make it home at all. “It wasn’t living in the Ritz, but everything is in comparison to something else,” said Laughlin, whose children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren live in Del Mar. “Had I ended up in Japan I would have had a real rough time. Many of them were tortured, and most didn’t come back. In Germany, they didn’t have the food to feed the prisoners.” Laughlin is not only thankful to be alive to tell his story, but he’s one of a dwindling generation of WWII veterans who have lived long enough to talk first-hand about this important part of American history. That’s one of the reasons Laughlin was invited by U.S. Sen. John McCain and U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney to join them on stage for this year’s Memorial Day tribute at Balboa

William ‘Bill’ Laughlin and Donna Hall Park’s Veterans Museum. Being a former B-24 bombardier, the ceremony was particularly special for Laughlin because the heavy bomber, also called the Liberator, was designed by San Diego company Consolidated Aircraft. Laughlin’s daughter, longtime Del Mar resident Donna Hall, had read about the ceremony in the paper and called the organizers to get tickets to the event. She then mentioned that her father is a veteran and they said, “Tell us about your dad.” “They were so thrilled because the ceremony was to be held at the B-24 memorial. When they heard my dad was a B-24 bombardier, they were like, ‘Oh my gosh we have to honor this man. Can he come?” Hall said. Laughlin added, “Then they found out I had gotten shot down and I was a prisoner of war and they went ape.” The B-24’s most infamous mission was the one in which Laughlin participated — a low-level strike against Romania’s Ploiesti

oil fields, which turned into a disaster because the enemy was reportedly underestimated. The strategic operation was meant to cut off much- needed oil to the Axis powers so they couldn’t fuel their equipment. When his aircraft was shot, it lost power on one side and fell through a group of about 270 flying planes below, he said. “It’s hard to say what you think during all this,” Laughlin remembered. “You’re on fire, everybody’s trying to get out of the airplane and you think, ‘How’d I get in this position?’ You think so fast.” There were about 300 planes in the attack, with about five guys per plane, and “nobody really expected to come back,” Laughlin said, adding that he parachuted out of the plane and was “banged up pretty bad” when he hit the ground at about 20 miles per hour and landed on some large oil drums. “Thankfully everyone got out of our aircraft before it blew up,” he said. With a broken ankle and dislocated arm, he was then taken into interrogation and later into a holding room where he would stay with about 30 other men for almost six months. Men were scattered about, some hundreds of miles apart and in different countries. Men from the same plane might have ended up 15 or more miles apart, he said. “All in all, we were very fortunate to be shot down over Romania because it was the first Axis power to surrender to the Allies,” he said. “Had I been shot down a couple hundred miles away in any direction, I could have been a POW for another year. It was a dif-

He said for the duration of his confinement, he wore the same clothes he parachuted down in. Luckily, he said, there were showers, and the prisoners were therefore able to keep drowning the lice, he said. “We would have to pick the lice off of each other, and the bed bug bites were so bad and they would become infected,” he said, adding that most of the men lost anywhere from 20 to 30 pounds while in confinement. Laughlin was part of the first American forces that were liberated in Europe. He said he was released from Romania and happened to meet an American in a bomb shelter who informed him

that the U.S. government was evacuating prisoners from the Bucharest airport. After his return home, Laughlin remained in active duty and then started a career in the oil industry. Years later, he made a career switch and began producing construction materials. He was married to his wife for 66 years. The entire family showed up to support him when he was honored on Memorial Day in Balboa Park. They dressed him up and put his medals on, and he proudly sat with his family on the stage that was filled with war dignitaries and prominent officials. His daughter said she and her family were “so pleased that he could be respectfully honored.” His son-in-law, Peter Hall, described him as a humble man, “one of those great generation guys.” “We were so excited,” he said. “[Bill] was just as touched and excited about it, but he would never show it.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Breast cancer survivor shares information through lectures, support group Author Dr. John Link will speak locally BY KATHY DAY After local resident Lynn Flanagan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996, she joined a support group. But when she figured out they didn’t want to talk about breast cancer and just wanted to socialize, she sought out other options. “It was a foreign concept to me to go out on a week night and be away from my kids and my husband for a social gathering,” said the mother of three who recently celebrated her 37th anniversary. The solution came at the suggestion of her oldest son, then a high school sophomore. “He told me to go set up my own group.” And that was that. She still holds monthly meetings that focus on providing information about the disease to a “sisterhood” that includes women from ages 29 to 80. Sure, said the energetic woman who was a member of the 1972 University of Notre Dame class that was the first to include women, they are friends and they do

Lynn Flanagan socialize, but the key is sharing information to help people deal with their situations. Her personal mission is to make sure the information is up to date. Each month before the meetings the voracious reader prepares folders full of articles and tidbits, sometimes even personalizing them with information about a member’s type of cancer. She dove headlong into cancer education just five months after being diagnosed. When she went back to a special reunion of her graduating class – 325 of the 6,000 graduates were women – she put on a seminar about early detection that brought out a standingroom-only crowd of men and women of all ages. And she’s still at it 15

years later. On Sept. 24, Linked by Lynn — her support group — and Agendia, a company that makes genomic-based breast cancer diagnostic tests and aims to help healthcare professionals find more personalized ways to treat patients, are hosting John Link, M.D., for a discussion and book signing. He is the author of “The Breast Cancer Survival Manual,” now in its fifth printing. A medical oncologist who specializes in breast cancer, he founded the Orange County-based Breastlink medical group in 1995. Bringing Link to San Diego is no coincidence. He was one of the specialists Flanagan turned to when she was diagnosed with what she called a “very tricky” type of breast cancer

– invasive intralobular carcinoma. “It is very insidious and grows differently than other types,” Flanagan said in a recent interview. She had a “very wonderful” team led by Scripps Clinic physicians Michael Kosty and Vincent Massullo, who practices in Northern California now, but said she sought out Link for another point of view after reading the first edition of his book. Together, the doctors — including her surgeon Michele Carpenter, who is now director of the breast cancer program at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Orange — developed a treatment plan that included a lumpectomy, radiation, axcillary dissection and five years of Tamoxifen. When Flanagan developed her group, she chose to name it Linked by Lynn in honor of the physician she calls “a special individual.” While Kosty is still her medical oncologist – and one she speaks highly of for his knowledge and compassion — she frequently refers members of her group and others to Link and sometimes accompanies them on their visits. “I send him the rocky road cases,” said.

After her death, the family asked that donations be made in her name to CancerCare, an organization that provides free support for those affected by cancer. After raising nearly $30,000, Flanagan worked with them to organize an hour-long teleconference featuring Link and four other healthcare professionals. Link, speaking recently from his Orange County of-

fice, explained that he decided to specialize in breast cancer because he wanted “to do one disease really well and be kind of an expert. You can’t do 35 cancers well.” A Chula Vista native who attended USC on a track scholarship, he decided to attend medical school – also at USC – after his 42-year-old track coach, Willie Wilson, died of cancer.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Rancho Valencia showcases new offerings BY ROB AND SHERRY MCKENZIE The succulent aroma of sizzling lamb sirloin drifted through the beach air as the Jacobs family hosted a preview party Aug. 23 in La Jolla for the soon to reopen Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa, located in Rancho Santa Fe. The new owners and their staff provided guests with a glimpse of things to come when the resort doors open again on Oct. 19 after a $30 million renovation. Executive Chef Eric Bauer, a 13-year culinary veteran, including eight at the Four Seasons, embraces the garden to table spirit, emphasizing seasonal and local ingredients. The new flagship restaurant, Veladora, will prominently feature Mediterranean flavor profiles in brasserie-style comfort. Also on the grounds will be The Pony Room, a casual cantina-style eatery and bar where guests can enjoy lunch after a morning at the spa or on the tennis courts. Chef Bauer was personally at the helm as the kitchen prepared hors d’oeuvres such as Maine lobster and Dungeness crab cocktails with avocado mousse and buttermilk crisps, mushroom crostini with goat cheese and onion marmalade, braised lamb with pickled cucumber and tzatziki, and woodroasted cauliflower with pine nuts, olive pesto and mustard oil. The

Appetizers appetizer trays were empty minutes after emerging from the kitchen. The resort will have a charcuterie kitchen where meats will be hand cured in the old world method of using salt, sugar, spices and herbs to enhance and preserve sausages, salamis, pates and other meats. There will also be a 55-day dry aged New York steak on the menu. “We are excited to bring something new and fresh, a casual home away from home dining experience to Rancho Santa Fe. Ours is not only a special occasion restaurant, you can eat here several nights a week and never be bored,” Bauer said. Traditionalists can take comfort in knowing the resort will continue to serve its signature blood orange organic iced tea on check in. Spa Director Stephanie Baxter highlighted changes to the spa,

which has been freshened to modern standards featuring an expanded weight and cardio room with new equipment, spinning and Pilates studios, and a new yoga pavilion. Therapies include skin and body work, water wellness programs, and fitness and personal training. In a shout out to the resort’s tennis roots, the Couples Clay Bake has been renamed the Golden Set and gives couples the chance to slather up in cleansing terra cotta clay, bake in the sun, and rinse off in their own private outdoor shower.

RSF Attack BU14 Black team wins Summer Classic Congratulations to the Rancho Santa Fe Attack BU14 Black team for winning the Attack Summer Classic Tournament in the BU14 Silver Bracket. The boys beat the team Fusion in the finals. The tournament was held in San Diego from Aug. 18-19.

Surf Boys U9 White Team wins West Coast Futbol Classic Over the weekend of Aug. 18-19, the Surf Boys U9 White team coached by Dave Currie successfully defended their 2011 championship title by placing first in the West Coast Futbol Classic held in Irvine, Calif. In the championship game, Surf defeated the FC Blades from Irvine with a score of 6-1. Every player on the Surf team brought their A-game to this exciting hard fought match that was more difficult than the final score indicated. The first half was a scoreless battle until the first Surf goal was scored late in the first half by Elijah “Coco” Hernandez. After “Coco” received a well-placed throw-in by defender Nicholas Carlo, he dribbled around the defenders and took the shot. The first half ended with a score of 1-0. In the second half, Daniel Karam continued the scoring by blasting a free kick into the back of the net. Coco Hernandez then added another one to give a score of 3-0. The fourth goal was scored by Carson Malinowski off a cross by Charlie Kosakoff. Charlie then got on

the scoreboard himself after a great cross by Ryan Flather. Immediately after the fifth Surf goal, the FC Blades snuck one in to give a score of 5-1. The final goal was scored by Charlie Kosakoff to end the game at 6-1. In the preliminary rounds, surf had beaten the hosting West Coast FC with a score of 3-2, tied the Players Soccer Club from Las Vegas 5-5 and topped the South Bay Force 3-2 to win Bracket A. The FC Blades had won Bracket B before they faced Surf in the Championship game. The Surf boys finished strong on a very hot August weekend. Congratulations Surf Boys U9!

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF couple’s road to success filled with twists and turns BY JULIE SARNO In the 1960s, a movie titled “The Graduate” captured the public’s interest, starring a then-unknown Dustin Hoffman. A young man seeking to advance himself, Hoffman was given one word of advice by an older executive at a party — that word was “Plastics.” Well, Gino Roncelli must have seen the movie, as plastics has been his pathway to success. Today, Roncelli and his wife spend about three months each year at their second home in Rancho Santa Fe. During summers, the couple eagerly follow their runners at Del Mar. The Roncelli’s best runner currently is Strong Wind, winner of the Graduation Stakes by 4 1/4 lengths at Del Mar early in August. He is being pointed for the I’m Smokin’ Stakes on Labor Day, Sept. 3. The couple has been married for 55 years. But, first, let’s return to their early days. “In today’s society, most people work one job,” began Roncelli, whose youthful Horse owners and part-time Rancho Santa appearance belies his 77 years. “I needed Fe residents Bingo (left) and Gino Roncelli. money, I worked (a second job) as a private Strong Wind, a 2-year-old colt they own in detective. All the jobs were at night. Many partnership, will race in the I’m Smokin’ involved being in bars. It was perfect.” In 1956, they were both attending Pasa- Stakes on Sept. 3. Strong Wind is a son of dena City College (PCC). Gino and Bingo Tribal Rule, a stallion that stands at Ballena (her legal name since adulthood) met at a Vista Farm in Ramona. fraternity/sorority party at the Huntington Sheraton, now the Langham, Pasadena (for years, it was a Ritz Carlton). “I was with a date,” said Gino. “Bingo was with a date as well. I went after her as she walked toward the Ladies’ Room, and got her number.” The couple began dating and six month later were married — Bingo was 20 and Gino was 22. Gino was older because he enrolled in college after from serving in the armed forces in Japan. He played football for PCC. “Nine months and three weeks later, we had our son, Brett,” recalled Bingo. Gino was working at General Petroleum as an accounting clerk and accepting private detective assignments in the evenings. “The guy that sat at the next desk had been there for 30 years,” said Gino. “He was not doing any more important work than I was. I thought to myself, ‘Is this what my life is going to be?’” Even though the couple had a baby on the way, Gino left the job and joined a friend’s business, becoming a gardener. “That’s what it says on our son Brett’s birth certificate for Gino’s occupation, ‘gardener,’” said Bingo. Her husband took several different jobs over the next few years. Then he was offered a job in sales. “It was perfect for me.” said Roncelli, who worked for the next eight years in sales for companies producing plastic parts. “Then I started my own little company,” said Roncelli, acknowledging the importance of his experience in sales in the plastics industry. “It was an immediate success, Roncelli Plastics. You really can’t start a business in something you don’t know about.” “We started out doing the easiest jobs, producing a high quantity of low quality parts,” said Roncelli. As the company made money and acquired more sophisticated machinery, they reversed the formula. “Now, we produce high-quality, low-quantity parts.” Founded more than 40 years ago, Roncelli Plastics is one of the oldest companies in Monrovia, Calif. With 90 employees, they rank as one of the leading employers. They number Boeing and Jet Propulsion Laboratory among their customers. “The new Mars Rover, Curiosity, has over 100 of our parts on it,” said Roncelli, who serves as CEO of the company. “Some of the work we are doing today, not many companies can make these parts. They are made in the U.S.A.” Roncelli’s son-in-law Riley Cole, married to their daughter Jill, is president of Roncelli Plastics. Grandson Christopher Cole and granddaughter Allison Cole also are employed there. The Roncellis’ other daughter, Jill’s twin Janna, lives in Encinitas. Son Brett and his wife, Renee, and their daughters Raven and Trinity live in Sonoma. In addition to raising the couple’s three children, Bingo focused on volunteer work for 30 years. She is a longtime board member of the Pasadena Playhouse. About her 55 years with Gino, Bingo says, “It’s been a merry go round. There have been lots of surprises. Life has never been dull.” Gino serves as president of the Winner’s Foundation, which helps anyone in racing suffering from alcohol issues or drug dependency. For six years, Roncelli served as a board member for Magna Entertainment, which operates Santa Anita and a number of other race tracks. He resigned in 2006. The couple own all or parts of 10 horses in training with conditioners Peter Miller, Bob Hess and Steve Knapp. Knapp trains Strong Wind. Their best horses to date have been stakes winners River Keen and Chinese Dragon. River Keen won two Grade 1 races and more than $1.6 million in purse earnings. Chinese Dragon, also retired, now stands at stud in New Zealand. “Bingo and the race horses made it necessary for me to make a lot of money,” said Roncelli.

HeadNorth’s ‘Roll Models’ pairs mentors with children who share experiences, situations BY KATHY DAY When 41-year-old Andy Huesing met 5-year-old Alessandro Pintor on Aug. 23, it could have been any other meeting of new friends. But in this case, the new pals rolled up in their wheelchairs at SeaWorld’s Garden Plaza for the launch of Roll Models, a mentoring program pairing adult spinal cord injury victims with children in wheelchairs. They were one of seven pairs of new friends who spent the day getting to know each other. Family members also joined the fun during an event that included a Shamu show, a chance to explore the park and meet a couple of animals, and an ice cream social. Organized by HeadNorth, the Carmel Valley-based nonprofit providing support and resources to paraplegics and their families, in partnership with Tadpole Adaptive (a San Diego online retailer that provides equipment for children with special needs), the effort inspired some giant smiles. As Huesing, one of the owners of Tadpole Adaptive, got to know Alessandro, the youngster showed off his skills, tilting back in a wheelie that prompted a similar move by his mentor. It wasn’t like an adult talking to a little boy but rather two people sharing a common bond. Huesig learned that penguins are his new friend’s favorite animals and the one he wanted to see most that day, although the penguin visit was delayed by a longer than anticipated stop at Turtle Reef where Alessandro took to the video games. Later, Alessandro – and his parents – learned about how to make his wheelchair go faster, although Huesing said he is already a bit of a speedster. Huesing, a Hillcrest resident, broke his neck at the C-7 level diving into a swimming pool when he was 17. While he has no use of his legs and his hands are somewhat affected, he otherwise has full upper body mobility. His young friend, a San Clemente boy who was injured in a car accident when he was 3, has a similar injury. However, Huesing noted that Alessandro has better control of his hands than he does, perhaps because of his therapy at Proj-

Reflecting on the day for a blogpost he was writing, he said, “At one point, I caught myself thinking he’s just like any other kids. I kind of forgot he was in a wheelchair … It really gave me a fresh perspective.” As part of the program, HeadNorth Executive Director Michele Bart led a brief icebreaker, asking each of the children and their mentors to introduce themselves, give their age and tell what animal they would like to be. Alessandro would choose to be a penguin; Andy an octopus. At least a couple of the children, who ranged in age from 3 to 10,

chose dolphins while several of the adults selected birds and butterflies. Bart, in an interview before the SeaWorld kickoff, explained that HeadNorth has two sides – a helping side that mentors and supports spinal cord injury victims and their families, and a financial side that provides grants for things insurance may not cover like door ramps or vehicle modifications. They also conduct an outreach program where ablebodied people spend a day in a wheelchair and support research efforts and organize conferences to spread knowledge. Until now, the mentoring has focused on “rehabilitated and reintergrated” adults serving as role models to newly injured adults who sustained spinal cord damage in sports, vehicle accidents or in the line of duty, such as military or police service. “They have lots of questions,” Bart said, noting many are not health-related but rather involve their children, relationships, matters of going back to work, even questions about using the bathroom. Their mentors are there as a support system to help them with emotional, psychological, and social challenges, she added. “Many have become lifelong friends with their mentors and their family members.” Now, with Roll Models, they hope to build on the success of the program but because the number of children with spinal cord injuries is relatively small, they are also reaching out to children with other illnesses, such as spina bifida and muscular dystrophy who are in wheelchairs for life, Bart said. “They have the same issues,” she noted, emphasizing that the matching process was “fun, understanding the personality of the kids and the mentors.” They are starting small, focusing on “quality, not quantity,” while hoping that program will be a support system not just for the children but also for the parents. The day after the event she said she was “really overwhelmed by the positive response, particularly from the par-

SURVIVOR continued from page 12 was in its infancy and wasn’t even considered a sub-specialty, he said, adding that things changed dramatically about 1980 with the new drugs like tamoxifen and advances in mammography. Now, he said, “breast cancer is no longer a death sentence. The cure rate is 90 percent.” In the late ‘70s when he started practicing, he said, that number was about 55 percent. While at Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, where he did his residency, he played a role in creating one of the first breast centers in a community hospital, became its director and decided to concentrate on the singular disease. His book, first published in 1996, was an offshoot of that center, he said. “It was pretty good – it really helped women.” The latest version has a lot of changes, he noted, because of new understanding about the genetic nature of the disease. In it, he writes, “When I see a newly diagnosed patient, I tell her the chance of being cured (yes, cured!) is very high. You do have time to educate yourself, gather information, and even obtain a second opinion if de-

Aidan sired. Just remember, take one step at a time.” The book includes information on types of breast cancer, understanding pathology reports, treatments, side effects, clinical trials, genetic risks, nutrition and supplements and “Becoming a Survivor.” Some women who have read it are ahead of their oncologists, he said. It’s also helpful for spouses, partners and children to read. Some patients, like Flanagan, take their knowledge a step further. “She is a very strong advocate for women with breast cancer,” Link said. Flanagan said some have called her their “angel bulldog. I’m extremely tenacious.” She once got kicked out of one office for asking too many questions, but, she added proudly, her friend who was the patient got the questions answered. Despite her seemingly eternal optimism, she is realistic, she said, showing photos in a scrapbook from gatherings that include some memorial services honoring their friends. The key, though, is “focusing on the celebrations and joys of life, not just the sadness.” Meet Lynn Flanagan and Dr. John Link at a free lecture, followed by book signing, on Monday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m., at Hilton Garden Inn, 3939 Ocean Bluff Ave. RSVP required by Sept. 19 by e-mail to rsvp@drjohnlink.

TECHNOLOGY continued from page 1 ven Marshall wanted to ensure it happened sooner rather than later, donating an additional $47,500 to get the program started this year. “It’s a challenging time in education but one of the most exciting times to be in education,” said Norby. “This is my 30th year in education and I’ve never seen anything take off like this has taken off…Schools across the country are doing this in just a year’s time, it’s unstoppable. Right now it’s bigger than we are; it’s exciting. You can’t choose to change, you have to change.” Norby made sure iPads went into the hands of every teacher in the school over the summer so they could familiarize themselves with the product and learn the applications. Apple TVs were installed in all of the classrooms so even teachers in classrooms that don’t have the 1:1 devices can still use iPads to teach the curriculum — everything done on a teacher’s or student’s iPad can be projected onto a classroom screen through Apple TV. The decision to purchase the 202 new iPads was the result of a pilot program conducted last year.

Teachers Angie Tremble and Cara Spitzmiller were the “trailblazers” last year in fourth grade with the pilot, alternating with the use of iPods and iPads. “They worked very hard to find the best way to implement these devices into the classroom,” Norby said. “It’s completely transformed the way that we teach and the way children learn.” The devices were never used just to play educational games, but instead used to create products and projects. Tremble said even before the devices, she was always thinking of ways to weave technology into what the students were doing because it is just such a beneficial part of their education. “The kids are so much more engaged and as a teacher that part was great to see,” Tremble said. In order to determine the next step to take the technology program, Tremble looked at what device allowed the school to do what they wanted to do the best. “We did a focus group with the kids in the pilot program to find what was the most beneficial and the most engaging, Tremble said. “One-hundred percent it was iPad over iPod touches.” Tremble now serves as a “Teacher on Special Assignment” (TOSA), working as the mobile technology and

integration coach for the entire school. Norby said that Solana Santa Fe students are very high achieving so they aren’t seeing higher test scores as a result—they already score in the 90th percentile. “The depth of learning is so much more, Norby said. “Students will do 10 times the amount of work and learn so much more because they are so engaged.” It’s an exciting and challenging year, especially as it comes in the school’s 20th year in existence. An amazing nine teachers and staff members have been with the school all 20 years, including Principal Norby. The other eight 20-year staff members are Mary Ryan, Becky Gauthier, Christine Suppa, Kiki Bayisa, Sharon O’Brien, Lisa Owen, Nancy Smith and Judi Wilensky. “The thing that hasn’t changed is kids are kids, they have the same needs,” Norby said of her 20 years in Rancho Santa Fe. She’s the most proud that the school easily embraces change, that they change not just for change’s sake but for the sake of the kids. They are ready for the next frontier. “We want to do it right and make sure we’re using the devices in the best way possible,” Norby said.

ed in completing the loan application for the Rancho Santa Fe property, knowing that Hester was its owner, Luis admitted. Luis falsified the loan application in Kelsey Wiedenhoefer’s name with her alleged income, employment history and source of the down payment, but knew the payments were made with criminally-derived proceeds, Duffy said. Luis also admitted preparing a fraudulent loan application in Jay Hanson’s name for the Palomar Mountain property and resi-

dence, with a misrepresented income and his employment history, then arranged for a false verification of rent form, Duffy said. The bank issued the loans as a result. At his sentencing, Gonzalez found Luis clearly knew the money involved in the conspiracy for both counts, including the down payment and monthly mortgage payments, were drug proceeds. She found Luis intentionally hid the true owner of the properties to conceal drug proceeds.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Education Matters/Opinion The cost of special education BY MARSHA SUTTON Talking about the cost to public school districts of providing special education services is tricky. No one argues that the need to serve all kids, regardless of their disabilities, is a moral imperative. But the effect of all the special education legislation on already slammed school budgets is the elephant in the room that has to be acknowledged to fully grasp the perilous condition of school district finances. Aides and other professional support in the classroom can cost districts millions of dollars – outside services and facilities, many millions more. On top of that, expensive transportation to and from schools for special education students is legally required. It can all add up to 20 percent of a school district’s budget. Some federal and state transportation money is available but has never fully covered costs. And now, as California’s funding for education continues to evaporate, the amount provided to transport special educa-

Marsha Sutton tion students is diminishing even further. In the Solana Beach School District, the school board just approved expending $354,000 to CareA-Van, a Carlsbad-based company, to transport about 30 special education students in 2012-2013. That’s almost $12,000 per student, more than it costs to educate a student for an entire year. “Over the past several years we have reduced special education transportation costs for the district, but continue to look for more cost-effective services,” said SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch, in an

email. In the Del Mar Union School District, the board approved a contract with Care-A-Van for the coming school year for $685,000 to transport 49 special education students, which comes to nearly $14,000 per student. [The difference in travel distance accounts for some of the variation in price.] In the San Dieguito Union High School District, the cost in 2010-2011 for transportation for the 175 special education students who qualify is $2.6 million, which averages to more than $15,000 per student. That figure was higher for 2011-2012, and will increase further this year, according to SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services Rick Schmitt. Staggering numbers Then there’s the cost for aides and special services. Del Mar’s board, at its March 28, 2012 meeting, approved $69,531 for two students who each require a

one-on-one instructional assistant for six hours a day. Each aide’s annual salary is about $35,000. This is peanuts compared to the $270,000 San Dieguito paid last year for two students to attend the Family Life Center, a special education residential placement facility classified as a nonprofit 501(c)3, in Petaluma, Calif. “The costs for these types of placements, required by law, include room, board, education and mental health services,” said Schmitt. These students, he said in an email, require care 24 hours a day, 12 months a year, and school districts must pay. Kids in residential facilities, in general, can be violent, need 24-hour care for feeding and toileting, have no communication skills or have other severe physical and emotional needs. San Dieguito began last year with 12 students in residential programs across the country, costing the district just shy of $1 million. That’s not including $750,000 in transportation costs. As of June 2012, Schmitt said the district had 20 students in residential facilities, and will start the year this fall with 18. At

about $83,000 per student, the cost to the district this year will be about $1.5 million, not including transportation. The two at Petaluma, at $135,000 each, are unusually expensive. For special education students attending SDUHSD schools, the district has 92 instructional aides, which Schmitt said can each cost $40,000. That’s nearly $3.7 million. In 2010-2011, San Dieguito’s cost for all special education services was over $18 million, and for 20112012, unofficial numbers are $19 million. The district’s total budget is about $102 million. In 2010-2011, federal and state funds paid 63 percent of the costs, leaving the district on the hook for 37 percent, or about $6.33 million. But in 2011-2012, Schmitt said federal and state funding will only cover 53 percent, forcing SDUHSD to pay 47 percent – about $8.46 million. That $2.13 million difference is a 33-percent increase in one year, a year that happens to be one of the worst for education funding in recent memory. The $8.46 million is a direct encroachment on the general fund.

August 30, 2012

No one wants to set up a conflict between special education students and regular students. It’s not either/ or, because special education services are mandated by law and must be provided. And should be, all would contend. Not a single individual in education has ever suggested that special education services should be denied. No one would say – or even believe – such a thing. But well-meaning special education legislation has resulted in a series of unfunded mandates that cash-strapped school districts already over-burdened with dwindling funding struggle to pay. And those are just facts. Health services The San Dieguito Union High School District, serving about 12,300 students in grades 7-12, has about 10 percent of its student population qualifying for a range of special education services. Ten percent is typical for school districts locally and nationally. There are four categories of special education students at San Dieguito, according to Schmitt: those attending SDUHSD schools

EDUCATION continued from page 29 who receive extra support at school, those attending SDUHSD schools but require additional services from outside agencies after school hours, those students SDUHSD transports to and from non-public facilities every day who do not attend SDUHSD schools, and those who live in residential facilities 24/7. In 2010-2011, SDUHSD had 1,225 special education students at its schools. Of those, 1,170 were in a category called mild to moderate. The other 55 were classified as moderate to severe. The mild to moderate students attend regular classes at district schools but receive some level of support. Some are provided with transportation. The moderate to severe students, who also attend SDUHSD schools, are often wheelchair-bound and could be blind or have debilitating conditions such as spina bifida. They need more care, often receive psychological services or an array of other mental and physical health support, and

Beth Taich, Mina Kessler

usually require one-on-one aides. The cost to the district in 2010-2011 to educate and provide services for the 55 moderate to severe children was $87,903 per student. Almost all these students are given transportation. Another group of students, 42 of them in 20102011, attend non-public schools throughout San Diego County. “We put them on a bus and bring them home at the end of each school day,” Schmitt said. The cost to provide educational services for these students was nearly $1.5 million, without transportation. The fourth group is those students placed in residential facilities. The law requires that, regardless of a student’s condition and the cost, districts must provide a program. “If you can’t provide it within your own building, you have to find a placement for that student outside your building,” Schmitt said. In attempting to adhere to the philosophy of providing the least restrictive environment, “we exhaust all

Stacey Phillips, Principal Julie Norby

our resources within the district before considering nonpublic schools and programs,” he said. For students educated in the district’s schools, many need mental and physical health services the district is not equipped to provide. Because most of the mild to moderate students, and some of the moderate to severe, are diplomabound, they require a full day of academics to graduate. So health services provided by the district using non-public agencies are usually offered outside the school day through outpatient programs. This coming year, though, San Dieguito has contracted with Rady Children’s Hospital for three fulltime therapists to work at each of the district’s nine schools. “They can meet students conveniently during and after school,” Schmitt said. “[It’s] simpler and cheaper, plus our students are able to stay on campus.” Schmitt said the district is required to provide services for special education stu-

Talia and Firouzeh Tirandazi, Mary Gaylord

dents through their 22nd birthdays. “We’re not built for those kinds of programs [on campus] so we have what’s called an Adult Transition Program,” Schmitt said. The ATP serves more severely disabled students and helps them develop skills and the capabilities they need to function in society. “It’s called functionality,” Schmitt said. “This Adult Transition Program is best in a community setting rather than on campus. It helps kids get more familiar with being independent.” The cost of all these programs adds up to big bucks for school districts like San Dieguito, and expenses for special education show no sign of lessening. [For a discussion on a unique plan the San Dieguito Union High School District has to cut costs and improve services for special education students, read Part Two next week.] Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

RSF resident graduates with top honors

Rancho Santa Fe resident Mia Sher graduated with highest honors from The George Washington University in Washington DC with a bachelor of arts degree summa cum laude in art history. The spring commencement ceremony was held on the National Mall. During her four years of study, Sher maintained an average of 3.9 and was in the top 5 percent of a graduating class of 3,500. She was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Society, an academic honor society that celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Sher will be attending graduate school in the fall at Georgetown University in an art/business program with a focus on museum studies. The master’s degree program includes six months of study at Sothebys Auction House in London. Sher was in the first graduating class at Canyon Crest Academy.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Cell phone tower denial a loss for school I am disappointed to hear that the San Dieguito Union High School District is formally tabling the cell phone towers at Canyon Crest Academy. The Carmel Valley Planning Board (in possible violation of the law) and several local parents and teachers objected to the towers for health reasons, despite the fact that there is no evidence of problems caused by cell towers. UCSD radiology chair Dr. William Bradley has said on record that the towers would have had no effect whatsoever on health. The project would have little to no impact on student life and bring much-needed money into the district. As a current CCA student, I find it extraordinarily unfair that a revenue source for my school has been lost due to the unscientific and unfounded concerns of community members. Elijah Granet

Psychologist, digital artist square off on the nature of experience BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The next Bronowski Art & Science Forum will feature an illustrated conversation about the nature of experience between UCSD psychology professor Piotr Winkielman and digital video artist Jennifer Steinkamp, 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6, in the auditorium at the Neurosciences Institute, 1640 John Jay Hopkins Drive. Founder/director Ron Newby calls the Forum series “entertainment for the intellectually curious.” There’s no charge for the talks, presenters receive no honorariums, and audience interaction is welcomed at the end of each program. While the original Forums took place at the Salk Institute, for the past several years, the venue has been the 352-seat auditorium at the Neurosciences Institute. Now, after 13 years and 120 programs, the Bronowski Forum may be coming to an end. With the Scripps Research Institute resumes control of the building, there will be a rental fee of $1,500 for the auditorium that so many organizations have been able to use free of charge. To date, Newby has not

Piotr Winkielman and Jennifer Steinkamp will discuss art, psychology, and neuroscience at the next Bronowski Forum, Sept. 6.

If you go What: Bronowski Art & Science Forum: Piotr Winkielman and Jennifer Steinkamp When: 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6 Where: Neurosciences Institute Auditorium, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive, off North Torrey Pines Road Tickets: Free with registration at http://steinkampwinkielman.eventbrite.com Website: bronowskiforum.org/ managed to find funding for future Forums, which means the Sept. 6 program could be the last. The Forum, began in 1999, and was named for Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974), a prominent mathematician, biologist, and human-

ist who was associate director of the Institute in its first decade. Before the Institute was even built, Dr. Jonas Salk invited Bronowski to be part of it, knowing that a man with his breadth of interests would be a great help in cre-

ating the kind of place Salk envisioned — a grand agora where scientists and artists could meet, share ideas, and form new kinds of cross-disciplinary collaborations. Best known for his BBCTV documentary series “The Ascent of Man,” Bronowski was described by his wife, Rita, as “an extraordinarily whole person ... a thinking man ... [who] treated art and science as the same expression of the human imagination.” Rita Bronowski, who attended most of the Forum events until her death two years ago, was present at the 100th Forum in January, 2009, which was also a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jacob Bronowski, and featured their daughter, Lisa Jardine, professor or Renaissance Studies at the University of London. Newby, of Del Mar, had the opportunity to share many conversations with Bronowski and Salk during his 27 years as a researcher in genetics at the Institute. “It was these two men who inspired me to continue the tradition of healing the separation between art and science that was set in motion when Jonas Salk invited Jacob Bronowski to

Forum founder Ron Newby with Lisa Jardine, daughter of Jacob Bronowski, backed by a photo of her father, at the 100th Bronowski Forum. COURTESY the Salk Institute,” he said. “After observing what seemed to me a distancing from Bronowski’s sensibility, the Forum was my modest attempt to recreate the spirit that came about during the Salk-Bronowski era.” In next week’s program, the sciences will be represented by Piotr Winkielman, an experimental psychologist who, like Bronowski, was born in Poland. He’s been part of UCSD’s faculty since 2003, and his research explores the “interplay between emotion, cognition and consciousness.” Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer Steinkamp, whose digital projections transform

architectural spaces, is best known here for “Madame Curie,” her large-scale installation recently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego downtown. A panoramic, sevenchannel projection (inspired by her research into atomic energy and explosions and their effects on nature), the piece turned the walls of a 4,500-square-foot gallery into meadows of swaying flowers, drawn from a list of plants that the discoverer of radium and radioactivity loved. Don’t miss the Winkielman-Steinkamp conversation. It may be a long time before you hear this kind of talk again.

David Flores Golf Tournament benefits children of racing’s backstretch workers

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LESLIE CARTER The 14th annual David Flores Golf Tournament came to Morgan Run Club & Resort for the first time on Aug. 20. The beneficiaries of the event will be the children of the backstretch workers at the Southern California racetracks. Some of these children are spending the summer in Del Mar. The backstretch workers are the grooms, and hot walkers who care for the horses, and the folks who bathe the horses and clean out the stalls and do many other unglamorous but necessary jobs so that the trainers, owners and riders can have their glamorous racing afternoons. The golf was followed by dinner and silent and live auctions. About 50 players and guests took part and the earnings are expected to come in at close to $20,000. The proceeds will go for distribution to the Race Track Chaplaincy Association for Southern California. David Flores is a veteran jockey who has been riding on the Southern California circuit since 1989. He was born in Tijuana and had his

first successful riding seasons at Agua Caliente. For a number of years his golf tournament was dedicated to a home for children in Tijuana. But the focus of the charitable group that produces this tournament has changed. A decision has been made to aid the families of the backstretch workers, people Flores sees every day. “Why don’t we do something for here—for where we are,” Flores said. Denise Mitchell, wife of trainer Mike Mitchell, a Rancho Santa Fe resident for the summer and one of the tournament organizers says, “Any activity or anything that is going on at the backside David is there, and he’s back there with the kids all the time.” “I like to be part of it because I feel like I’m one of them,” Flores interjects. “It’s just giving back because without the backside we wouldn’t have racing. It’s just a great way to give back to racing,” Mitchell concluded. The winners of the golf tournament with a score of 54 were Rancho Santa Fe residents Kris and Bruce

Chandler, Alex Petric and Bill Alkire. Second place went to Ron Brouillette, Jim Mahony, Trey McCeod and Vincie Glenn. Two “Closest to the Pin” awards went to David Flores and Trey McCeod. The winners each received a trophy designed and produced by Denise Mitchell. She has actual horseshoes polished up and some big, sparkly gems adhered to them. The horseshoes are then adhered to a small stand to become a great keepsake for a golf victory. The auction was a good place to load up on racing memorabilia and pictures and goodies from other sports. There were restaurant coupons; in particular, a dinner at Red Tracton’s that many guests wanted. Dentist Mark A. Rutley, who practices in Del Mar, contributed a $500 gift certificate for dental work which was handed directly to Denise Mitchell to present to a backside child in need. The auctioneer was Felix Taverna of Solana Beach who broadcasts about horseracing Saturday and Sunday mornings over www.wsradio.com.

Chicken Lo Mein is a popular Cantonese-style dish with soft noddles.

Guests can sit at tables or booths in the bright, pastel-colored dining room.

China Cafe offers four styles of Chinese cooking BY KELLEY CARLSON our regional methods of Chinese cooking can be found under one roof, just across from the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon in Del Mar. The family-owned China Cafe offers a wide variety of Hunan and Szechuan, Peking (Mandarin), Cantonese and Shanghai-style cuisine prepared by Chef Tong, a five-star cook from Hong Kong. Hot peppers and peppercorns are trademark ingredients of the spicy and savory Hunan and Szechuan dishes. Hunan Pork Chops and Szechuan Beef are among the entrees at China Cafe that fall into this category. Then there are the Peking (Mandarin) creations (based on recipes used for imperial banquets) that contain a delicate flavor. These include Kung Pao Chicken or Beef. Some Cantonese dishes are cooked over a light fire, resulting in tenderness. China Cafe customers who desire this style can select from items such as Moo Goo Gai Pan, Chicken Chop Suey, and Chow Mein. Finally, the restaurant also utilizes the Shanghai technique, resulting in foods that sometimes have vivid colors and are delicate and slightly sweet. Each entree can be customized to a guest’s needs, since the food isn’t cooked until the order is placed. For example, patrons can request a certain level of spiciness to their food, generally on a scale of 1 to 10. But

■ China Cafe’s Egg Rolls people can ask for 20, if they wish. “The whole dish is a red color,” said coowner Janet Thach. Foods are prepared “not too salty,” Thach said, but more salt can be added upon request. “We try to cook more healthfully these day; we try to do our best for people to like it.” Thach, whose family has been in the restaurant business for more than 40 years, noted that only chicken breast and other lean meats are used in the dishes, and sauces are made in-house. Nutritious brown rice is available, but for an extra charge, since it’s not ordered by most customers; entrees are served with fried or steamed rice. Guests can select items individually, or choose from several “gourmet dinner”

options that each come with a soup, several starters and one entree per person. Early bird specials are offered 3-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. There is a kids’ menu available for the under-10 crowd, with a choice of Fried Rice or Chow Mein, along with appetizers like Egg Rolls and Fried Wontons. The family-friendly establishment has a more modern, brighter appearance than the traditional Chinese eatery, featuring greenand-yellow decor rather than red. On the enclosed patio, customers are treated to views of the lagoon while dining. Parking in the restaurant’s lot is limited to about five spaces, but guests can leave their vehicles along Carmel Valley Road or on one of the neighborhood’s side streets.

Local high schools ready for upcoming football season Torrey Pines Falcons lose season BY GIDEON RUBIN Cathedral Catholic: Cathedral Catholic has taken different roads on their way to turning an era of dominance into a fullblown football dynasty. But since 2007, every year, they’ve ended up in the same place, and produced identical results. Last season ended with the Dons winning their fifth consecutive San Diego Section Division III title game, as they trounced Olympian 41-0 in a December championship game at Qualcomm Stadium. The Dons face formidable challenges and an unforgiving schedule in their quest to extend their dynasty. Among the biggest challenges will be replacing heavy graduation losses. But the Dons, who graduated 33 seniors, have an abundance of talent returning. None are more significant than senior quarterback Garrett Bogart. An offense that in recent years has primarily relied on the run took to the airwaves last year under Bogart, who threw for 1,805 yards and 19 touchdowns. The Dons will miss running back J.J. Stavola, who

Jacob Alsadek graduated after leading the team with 1,032 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. Key backfield returnees include senior running back Tony Johnson, their second leading rusher from last year (597 yards and five touchdowns), and juniors Chris Moliga (176 yards, one touchdown) and Xavier Ulutu (121 yards, two touchdowns). The Dons suffered a particularly tough graduation hit to their receiving corps though. With their four leading receivers from last season (Andrew Pascale, Brian Heinz, Trevor Deddeh and Stavola), who combined for 1,429 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns last season

no longer in the mix, Bogart will have to count on the development of an untested crop of receivers. Moliga, who caught 11 passes for 176 yards, is the only returnee with over 100 receiving yards from last year’s team. On the defensive side, they’ll miss linebacker Russell Reeder; who led the team with 119 tackles. Their key returnees include junior lineman Kyle Davis, who was second on the team last season with 7.5 sacks, and Toshaun Poumele, a senior linebacker who was the team’s second leading tackler last season with 117. Torrey Pines: Torrey Pines has been to the San Diego Section Division I quarterfinals three straight years and the Falcons are hopeful a powerful offensive line can help them get that much closer to a championship bid. The Falcons are led by offensive lineman Jacob Alsadek, a 6-foot-7 330-pounder who has already committed to playing at Division I Arizona. Running backs Billy Maggs, Collin Brown and Cole Jazco project to be the featured backfield threats in the Falcons’ run-oriented

opener to La Costa Canyon Mavericks The Torrey Pines Jr. Midget Falcons (D2) lost a close game to the La Costa Canyon Mavericks in the season opener for both teams. The Falcons struck first with a long pass from Jackie Plashkes to Brandon Ray that carried to the LCC two yard line. A run by Plashkes on the next play and a two-pont kick by Tucker Pike put the Falcons up early, 8-0. The Mavericks scored two long-distance touchdowns in the first half. The first came on a first down 75 yard pass to the halfback out of the backfield and the second on a 33 yard sprint around the Mavericks’ left end. As time was expiring in the first half, the Falcons reached the Maverick two yard line before having to settle for a Tucker Pike field goal. The first half ended with LCC leading 14-11, and Delaware wing-T offense. Wide receiver Jackson Gentes figures to be their most prominent deep threat. Other key returnees include linebackers Miles Ahles and Grant McGahey

Torrey Pines Jr. Midget Falcons (D2) that would be the final game score. Both teams would move the ball in the second half but neither could get into the end zone. LCC would move the ball to the Falcon 22 yard line before a penalty helped halt the drive, and Torrey Pines would make a fourth quarter first down at the Maverick 20, only to lose that opportunity to a penalty. The two Palomar Conference powerhouses will meet again on Sept. 29 on the Torrey Pines field, and it should be a great display of Pop Warner football. and offensive linemen Jake Ashby and Andrew Maneval.

Local resident’s new business is more than just a juice bar Del Mar’s B bar to be home base for nutritional cleanse programs BY CLAIRE HARLIN Local resident Lisa Odenweller has always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but she never thought she would end up starting a company that’s both a juice bar and nutritional movement. In October she will open B bar in the current location of Combo Juice at 2683 Via De La Valle, and she chose that store front because it’s a central location for the many clients she already has in Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Solana Beach. You might wonder how Odenweller already has hundreds of clients before her store — the first organic juice bar in San Diego — has even opened, and that’s because she has been leading locals under her company, Beaming, in nutritional cleanses that she created with the help of nationally-acclaimed raw foodist Matthew Kenney. Her next cleanse is coming up on Sept. 10, and she said many

clients have enjoyed participating in groups or signing up in an effort to kick off a new diet or nutritional effort. “Most people seem to be cleansing to lose weight,” Odenweller said. “You do lose weight on the cleanse, but it is more about long-term health, not shortterm weight loss.” Participants of her fourday cleanse program, which she has been holding once a month, pick up all their food each day from nearby participating businesses, such as Poppy boutique in the Del Rayo shopping center. The daily menu includes at least one superfood smoothie made from ingredients such as freshsprouted nuts, hand-pressed almond milk, hemp, bluegreen algae, cholorella and other natural ingredients. “People go nuts for it,” said Odenweller. “It’s usually their favorite meal of the day ... I’ve found that people don’t want to come off of the cleanse.” Also included are Odenweller’s signature green juices, a raw soup for lunch, supplements for energy and a raw salad or dish such as zucchini spaghetti

Lisa Odenweller is the founder and owner of Beaming, which has given rise to both a juice bar and cleanse program. for dinner. About 1,200 to 1,400 calories are consumed in the entire day, she said. “Being a mom of three, I wanted to include dinner so parents can sit down with their family and eat at the end of the day,” she said, adding that most cleanses she has researched don’t include food at all. Odenweller became interested in cleanses a few years ago when she started seeking something for herself to cure her of exhaustion, weight gain and mental fog. In a time where people are increasingly latching on

to cleanses — strict, shortterm diets that involve eating very little, if at all — she did too. “There are at least 20 of them out there on the market,” said Odenweller, who is a spin instructor at Carmel Valley’s Pacific Athletic Club. “There’s not one cleanse I haven’t gotten my hands on to try to understand what they are doing.” Many of the cleanses, she found, were “miserable.” “You are basically stopping your metabolism and when you are done you just want pizza and potato chips. You’re like, ‘Get me off of this,’” she said. “On some of them, like the juice diets, there was just so much sugar. I felt like that was irresponsible and there had to be a better way to do it.” After becoming more educated about nutrition and wellness, she realized that all it takes are simple changes to have a profound effect on how she felt and looked. Feeling herself transformed, she saw an opportunity to share that knowledge with the world through her company, and her cleanses are very different than many others on

Beaming’s juices, soups, smoothies and cocktail mixers are packaged in 16 oz. bottles with inspirational messages on the lid. the market, that consist of only liquids and supplements. “When I did a juice fast, I cheated. It didn’t seem like it was good for me,” she said. “It’s really about nourishment and starving yourself just doesn’t seem to work. On our programs you don’t get hungry, and a lot of people don’t even finish the food.” People lose anywhere from three to 10 pounds on the cleanse, Odenweller said. Once B bar opens, it will be the pick-up spot for cleanse participants, but it

will also offer the freshpressed juices, superfood smoothies, snacks and vegetarian take-away foods that are included in the cleanse programs. Customers can also buy supplements and health products, as well as get information about a variety of cleanse programs there. Odenweller said it’s particularly important that B bar will be the only all-organic juice bar in San Diego. Because often such a large quantity of vegetables are condensed into one serving of juice, if not organic, that means there is an even higher concentration of pesticides consumed. “I’m not a vegan or vegetarian or raw foodist,” she said. “I just want to promote good, clean food that will make you feel great.” Odenweller said the cleanses have a limited number of spaces and often sell out. Right now she is about halfway full for the September cleanse, and groups of three or more get 15 percent off of enrollment. For more information, or to enroll, visit www.bebeaming.com.

CCA Boys Water Polo starts season with new coach, new league Canyon Crest Academy’s Boys’ Water Polo team, reigning Valley League champions, will begin the 2012 season as part of the Palomar League. Originally from Orange County, new Head Coach Zach Wordes, who played water polo for UC Davis during his college career and also coaches for the Del Mar Water Polo club program, looks forward to competing with the best this year. “I’m excited to get things started,” he said at a team meet-and-greet. Assisted by coaches Alden Hozouri (UCSD), Jessica Tran (UCSD), and Jenny Waters (SDSU), Wordes stressed to the team that “Academics always come first,” noting, “It’s a privilege to be a student-athlete.” On a personal level, Coach Wordes prides himself on responding to player and parent communication within 24 hours and encourages the boys to share his passion for reliability and consistency. “Water polo teaches discipline and responsibility,” he says. “If you want to win, it comes down to the fundamentals.” In anticipation of upcoming league games, as well as the Sept. 6-8 Poway Invite, Wordes says, “I want CCA to be known as the team that keeps our mouths shut, plays hard, and wins.”

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For over 15 years, Del Mar resident Ann Berchtold has been making a difference on the local art scene, most notably by creating Art San Diego, a contemporary art fair that may someday rival Miami’s Art Basel. The first ASD, in 2009, was at the Grand Del Mar. The next two settled in at the Bayfront Hilton. This year, Balboa Park is the place, and the venue itself is a work of art: the Balboa Park Activity Center, a finelooking building designed by acclaimed local architect Rob Quigley and virtually unknown to all but indoor badminton and ping pong players. The 38,000-square-foot gymnasium will be transformed into New Art City, a showcase and marketplace for about 400 artists and 60 galleries, museums, and university art departments, Sept. 6-9. “I just love this venue,” Berchtold said. “It’s such a great canvas for the fair. But we have to bring in everything — electrical wiring, catering kitchen, everything!” She’s had lots of experience in event production, so the enormity of the project doesn’t faze her. And she’ll have a timelapse camera documenting the process, from buildup to breakdown, which could be the start of a future exhibit. The fair’s theme, she says, is “hyper-local meets international,” so there will be a mix of top local art-dealers, like La Jolla’s Scott White, Mark Quint, R.B. Stevenson, Alexander Salazar, and J.M. Tasende, along with galleries from Argentina, Australia, Mexi-

New Art City will feature four districts: Contemporary Art, Contemporary Furniture & Products, Midcentury Modern Art, and Solo Artists’ Booths. There will be emerging artists from Los Angeles and Tijuana, and an interactive, multi-disciplinary installation by UCSD MFA candidates that connects the current Art Fair to the 1915 California-Panama Exposition for which Balboa Park was created. There will also be art and design talks, a Saturday evening wine-tasting, and a Sunday “Bird Project” for kids, giving them a chance to collaborate with artists on bird cards. “I go to about 20 art fairs every year to learn new things, but the formats are really all the same,” Berchtold said. “So I’m no longer looking for a model. I want to play with the format, make it more of an experience, give locals something different every year so they’ll keep on returning. My big dream is to bring in multimedia performances, too.” Maybe for Balboa

Patriot Profiles: ‘The mastermind behind the machinery is my enemy’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY An explosively-formed penetrator (EFP) is a selfforging warhead. It’s a copper metal dish which varies in size from a 50-gallon drum to the size of paint bucket and contains an explosive charge. Detonation is controlled by cable, radio, TV, or remote arming with a passive infrared sensor that shoots through the charge multiple times, resulting in an explosion that inverts the dish into a giant bullet accelerating towards a target. Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Derek R. Sanchez was in a vehicle travelling under an overpass when an EFP blew out his entire engine block, injuring his teammate in the passenger seat with high-velocity shrapnel. Sanchez said, “Its armor piercing and there’s nothing that can withstand that. It’s intensely devastating.” The EFP incident was not the first or last scare for this Navy Combat Cameraman (Comcam) who’s been seared and stretched by battle fire. “I’m scared every time I go out. If someone tells you they get used to those experiences, they’re lying. It’ll always come back

to haunt you. You remember brushes with death.” Life changed for this former retail assistant manager, who walked into his local recruiting office in 2004 sporting a Mohawk and punk-rocker attitude. The recruiters looked at him and said, “Are you kidding me – you’re not serious?” A college degree and high ASVAB (aptitude) scores made them look beyond the exterior at Derek, who was hoping to get “a little more discipline in my life and a decent job.” Sanchez is serious when it comes to shooting video and photographic intelligence vital to U.S. command posts in the theater of war. For a guy who’d choose boots on the ground taking a hail of gunfire every day over spending a week on a ship – he “just does his job.” The threats of EFPs, IEDs, or bullets and mortar are very concerning, but he states, “I think a bad mind is more dangerous than the machinery behind it. The mastermind behind the machinery is my enemy.” Some of the best advice

Sanchez received when he first got to training was from his best friend, Mass Communications Specialist 1st Class Erik Wehnes. “He took me under his wing and told me to be real – authentic knowing who I am and my mission, because that’s what your teammates want most.” A Navy mass communications specialist combines four previously separate jobs into one — including photography, lithography, drafting and journalism. Mastering a menu of professional skills is challenging enough, but MC2 Sanchez has to also jump the hurdles of acceptance and respect. The toughest test for the guy with a camera attached to Navy Seal teams or Army Special Forces units is being thought of as one of their own. When Sanchez was deployed with 10th Group Army Special Forces to Iraq, he had to improve the preconceived impressions that existed about those with his MOS (military occupational

specialty). A former Army combat cameraman had panicked in a live fire situation, refusing to get out of the truck despite repeated orders, pleading he had a wife and kids. “What better reason to get out of the vehicle? You fight to survive for your family,” Sanchez said. “You have to realize the biggest target is a vehicle. We’re tactically trained to dismount vehicles and engage in situations like that.” Sanchez not only did his job for 10th group, but they welcomed him as part of the team. It’s not always possible to dismount and engage when an evil mastermind has planted his calling card under your seat. In Bagdad, when an Iraqi Sergeant Major of this country’s foreign partners got into his vehicle, an IED nearly sent him through the roof. “The only people that were there to respond were the team medic and me, the Comcam guy. Team medics are astonishing – they know what they’re doing. I had to help him try to save this officer, who lost half of his body.” “I’ve been on missions where we build target packSEE PATRIOT, PAGE 22

Kinderhouse Montessori School dedicated to cultivating ‘the whole child’ BY KAREN BILLING Yogi Patel’s Kinderhouse Montessori School in Sorrento Valley specializes in “home-cooked wholesomeness.” At her school, children 18 months old through sixth grade are given a wellrounded education that promotes “intellectual, social and emotional growth.” Patel said she aims to empower each child by instilling confidence and a joy for learning. “For me I believe it’s more like educating your child at home, they’re Yogi Patel, able to learn in a peaceful home environment,” Patel said. “Montessori Kinderhouse works with each child at their own Montessori School founder. pace.” Kinderhouse has five primary classrooms in its large, two-story building where the playful chirps of the school bird Boyd echo joyfully throughout the space. Outside of the building there is a play area and the school’s organic garden where children plant fruit trees and help with the harvest of vegetables. “We want to show the children exactly how things work,” Patel said. “They’re so responsible (in the garden) — they dig, sow seeds and bring in the harvest.” Last year the children harvested more than 50 zucchinis and baked a batch of zucchini bread with their haul. They also learned how to make yummy kale chips with the kale they grew—just one example of how unique an environment Kinderhouse is. Patel, who is originally from India, became involved with Montessori schools about 13 years ago before she moved to San Diego from Atlanta. “I fell into it accidentally, I wasn’t familiar with Montessori but I wanted that way of life,” said Patel, who was drawn to the school’s work with nature and how they taught children to be so independent. After getting her two children started in Montessori education, she started her own Montessori school 11 years ago

Students at the Kinderhouse Montessori School. out of her Scripps Ranch home. Her school has been in Sorrento Valley since 2006 and by 2009 enrollment at the location was full, prompting the opening of their second location in Rancho Bernardo. Currently there are 135 students in Sorrento Valley and 58 at Rancho Bernardo. “It’s definitely so rewarding and for me this is such a wonderful gift to be with these children,” Patel said. “I feel so blessed and grateful to be able to have an opportunity to provide such a good foundation for the children.” Montessori’s method of one-on-one instruction has had “amazing academic results,” Patel said, noting that students become very self-motivated. Classrooms are mixed so that there might be a 3-year-old in a classroom with kindergartners. “A 3-year-old can be motivated by the older children and the older students are able to be the leaders, gaining confidence and practicing their knowledge,” Patel said. A 4-year-old child might be able to understand the concept of multiplication or fractions. “(Children) are like sponges,” Patel says, so why not give them a glimpse of ev-

erything they’re going to come in contact with educationally by the age of 6? They’re also receiving an education for life, she says, as everything in the classroom has a purpose. They learn grace and courtesy and table manners, prepare their own lunches and clean up after themselves, compost their waste, wash laundry the old-fashioned way, care for pets and plants in the classroom and even learn how to sew a button. Students even make their own arrangements for field trips and can request a meeting with Patel—they know how to set their own agendas. “Every situation is a learning opportunity,” Patel said. There are 28 staff members at Kinderhouse, all trained in child psychology as well as the Montessori theory on developmental stages. The school is bilingual—the assistant teachers only speak in Spanish and through immersion learning, most students can speak the language and follow simple directions in Spanish. There is no testing and no homework. “Children learn at school and play at home,” Patel said. “A lot of parents think Montessori students can just do whatever they want, but it’s not like that,” Patel said. There are guidelines for working in the classroom. Students who are not working one-on-one with teachers are given purposeful activities or work in small groups. If they are disruptive or act up, their freedom ends. Community service is an important aspect of the Montessori education. The school has fundraised to build a school in Sierra Leone, participated in food drives and given book donations for schools in Mexico. Locally, they have also put on free concerts for the community. The school also offers enrichment classes in music and gymnastics, providing children with a balance of activities without their parents having to shuttle them around from place to place every day. As a help to parents, after-school childcare is offered until 6 p.m. and the school also runs a free class for parents in positive discipline. The school is located at 6540 Flanders Drive, San Diego, 92121. For more information, call (858) 550-0097 or visit kinderhousemontessori.com.

Horses warming up and cooling down on the Del Mar racetrack.

Mornings at the track: the calm before the excitement of afternoon racing BY KELLEY CARLSON A lot of adrenaline is pumping during afternoon racing at Del Mar. The thoroughbreds prance excitedly in the paddock and head to the track, as bettors anxiously head toward the windows to place wagers. Minutes later, horses burst from the starting gate, and as they round the turn for home and unleash their rallies in the stretch, the crowd roars, and spectators cheer for their picks to finish in the money. Winning ticket holders subsequently dash to the windows to collect their cash; losers rip up and toss

their tickets, and lament over whom they should’ve really picked. This cycle continues, for about 10 races. It’s a whole different scene in the mornings. The scene is abuzz with activity, yet a sense of orderly calm and near quiet prevails. There is no roar from the crowd; the loudest sounds are that of horses breathing and their hoofbeats as they gallop around the oval. Horsemen casually greet visitors and owners alike with friendly smiles and polite chitchat, while still focused on the

tasks at hand — making sure their horses are healthy and ready to run. Racehorse owner and After the Finish Line President Dawn Mellen kindly invited me to join her and tour her stable, Bran Jam, one morning to experience this other side of the sport. Named for Dawn’s nephew Brandon and niece Jamie, the Bran Jam partnership consists of seven family members and is headed by Michael Mellen, who has homes in Rancho Santa Fe and Connecticut. Michael, vice president of Town Fair Tire Centers Inc., first became involved in racing years ago -- on a smaller scale -- when he was based on the East Coast and lived in close proximity to the New York tracks. He took a temporary break as he and his wife, Valerie, raised their family, but returned to the sport when they moved to California. Bran Jam was formed in 1997. A marine layer hovered over Del Mar as I arrived at Del Mar around 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday, sipping coffee and trying to clear the fog in my head. (I’m a night owl by nature.) As I waited for Dawn by the fountain on the track’s Clubhouse side, small groups of horses walked by, en route to the paddock for some schooling. They walked around the ring and stood in saddling stalls, to help develop a sense of familiarity. Dawn arrived a short time later, and we immediately headed to the barns to visit her horses. Bran Jam has about 10 runners at Del Mar, most trained by Peter Eurton and one with Kristin Mulhall. The stable has additional thoroughbreds at tracks in Pennsylvania and New York, and some at Magali Farms in Santa Ynez in Central California. There was excitement on this particular morning, revolving around the arrival of the “star,” Weemissfrankie, the top 2-year-old filly on the West Coast last year. The chestnut beauty won the Grade I Del Mar Debutante and Oak Leaf Stakes at Santa Anita before finishing third in the Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs in Kentucky. After finishing fourth as the favorite in the Grade I Hollywood Starlet in December, it was discovered that she had a nondisplaced condylar fracture in her right foreleg. The filly — whose primary owners are Bran Jam Stable, Sharon Alesia of La Costa and Joe Ciaglia — had been vanned in from Hollywood Park the night before, and was being monitored under the watchful eye of her faithful companion, a white-and-brown goat named Pickles. Being sensitive to Pickles’ feelings, I peeked at “Frankie” in her stall, and she seemed to be settling in just fine. Dawn and I briefly said hello to a few other horses, including current and former stakes runners such as She’s Cheeky (“the matron”), Euroglide (“the king”), Hard to Resist (“the sweetheart”) and Gab Power, who was scheduled to race that afternoon. The two of us walked outside the barn, where horses from Dawn’s stable and others nearby walked in a circle around piles of hay bales stacked in the center. Some were warming up their muscles, getting ready to navigate the track; others were cooling down. As with humans, such activity helps prevent injuries and other serious problems in equines. A short distance away, around the corner and next to the barns, several horses were being bathed. Grooms dipped sponges in buckets of soap and lathered away their sweat, dirt and hay as they nibbled on their chains and lead ropes. This was followed by a hose-down, which created steam that rose off the equines’ backs. After a few minutes, Dawn and I walked to the outer rail of the track, and were met a short time later by Eurton.

The barn that houses the Bran Jam runners. Photos/Kelley Carlson Eurton has been on the racing scene for more than 30 years, starting as a jockey at age 19. He rode at tracks in Mexico, Canada and in the Bay Area for 2 1/2 years, and then primarily exercised horses. In 1985, Eurton took out his trainer’s license, and until the last few years, conditioned a stable that primarily consisted of claimers. Until Weemissfrankie — his first Grade I winner — his top runner had been Cee Dreams, winner of the California Cup Matron Handicap at Santa Anita and the E.B. Johnston Stakes at Fairplex in Pomona in 2001. After I was introduced to the friendly Eurton, he and Dawn discussed some business, and then he headed off to ride with his trainees. Our attention then turned toward the track, where dozens of horses were seemingly going every-which-way. But there was a pattern: Those on the far outside — who were traveling clockwise — were warming up or cooling down; the horses closest to the rail were zipping through timed workouts. And those galloping along two imaginary “lanes” in the middle were somewhere in between these extremes. Riders and ponies were also stationed at various points along the track to help with runaway horses or those in need of emergency assistance. Minutes later, the track was closed for racetrack surface maintenance, in which the synthetic Polytrack was smoothed by tractors to eliminate hoofprints and any other irregularities. Taking advantage of the break, Dawn and I walked along the clubhouse turn and crossed the track to enter the “backside” area. Dawn had some auction goods to deliver from her successful After the Finish Line fundraiser, “A Tribute to the Majesty of Thoroughbreds,” held at the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar two days earlier. About 130 people attended the event and nearly $70,000 was raised for the Toluca Lake-based nonprofit, which is dedicated to saving, rehabilitating and caring for former racehorses until they are adopted. While Dawn was on her errands, I perched on some bleacher-style seats above the track with other people I presumed to be horsemen and fans, and continued to document my morning through photographs and notes. Unlike the afternoons, when one can identify a horse by the post position

Del Mar Art Center heating up with new art reception to be held Sept. 8 Not since Yves Klein (1928-1962) has an artist so boldly harnessed fire as a medium to construct a human portrait. The seven-foot tall anthropometry “Carol-Ann on Fire,” by San Diego artist Robert Glick, is an abstract expose of the female spirit. The model appears to climb to new heights, poised in a delicate balance between uncharted boarders. Glick’s work has been shown at prestigious locations such as the Oceanside Museum of Art and Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York city. When asked about his fire paintings, he responded: “when flames leap headlong into the void they leave behind an unsullied imprint, a shining moment — pure energy incarnate,” an applicable description of his latest piece set in a salon-style show at the Del Mar Art Center. “Carol-Ann on Fire” is the giant of the exhibit, both in size and creativity, and revitalizes abstract portraiture in a way not seen in years. Don’t miss this gem of the collection at the artists’ reception Saturday, Sept. 8, from 6-9 p.m. at the Del Mar Art Center Gallery, Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, Suite 122; www.dmacgallery.com.

RSF Fire Protection District seeks volunteers to join emergency response team The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) is looking for residents interested in becoming part of its Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Applications are now being accepted for the 2012 fall session, which begins Oct. 2 in 4S Ranch. CERT is a nationallyrecognized program designed to train members of neighborhoods, community organizations, and workplaces in basic disaster response skills. During natural or man-made disasters emergency personnel are often stretched thin and may be unable to help residents in a timely manner. If a disastrous event overwhelms or delays the community’s professional emergency crews, CERT members may be called on to assist their own families as well as their neighbors by applying their skills learned in training. This CERT class, a 24hour program broken up into four sessions, is designed to be convenient for the resident with a busy schedule. One introduction to CERT night is offered, followed by three Saturday Skill Days. This class also has sections that are web-based and can be completed at home with a Q&A session at the following Saturday Skill Day. Topics include disaster preparedness, disaster medical operations, fire safety and extinguishment, CERT organization, terrorism, disaster psychology and light search and rescue. The complete schedule

is as follows: Tuesday, Oct. 2, 6 – 9 p.m., Introduction, and Disaster Preparedness; Saturday, Oct. 6, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Disaster Medical Preparedness Part I & Part II; Saturday, Oct. 13, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Fire Safety and Light Search & Rescue Operations; Saturday, Oct. 20, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., Final Drill and Graduation All sessions will be held at RSFFPD Station No. 2 located at 16930 Four Gee Rd, San Diego, CA 92127. The CERT program is absolutely FREE; however, you must be over the age of 16 to participate and live or work within the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. To enroll in CERT Training, please download an application from, www.rsf-fire.org, and mail or fax the completed form to Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, ATTN. Captain Dave McQuead, P.O.

San Diego Musical Theatre recently announced the third production of its 2012 season, “Footloose,” to run Sept. 28 - Oct. 14 at the Birch North Park Theatre. One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. This heartfelt story is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, “Footloose” celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. Group discounts for parties of 10 or more are available by calling the administrative office at 858-560-5740. For individual tickets contact the administrative office at 858-5605740 or visit SDMT online at www.sdmt.org.

Voices for Children benefit gala ‘Starry, Starry Night to be held Sept. 29 in RSF Since 2002, Starry, Starry Night has been the signature event for Voices for Children, last year raising over $1 million to benefit foster children in San Diego County. Voices for Children is a private, nonprofit organization that recruits, trains, and supervises Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) on behalf of the more than 5,000 abused, abandoned and neglected children living in San Diego County’s foster care system. In 2012, Starry, Starry Night will be held at the Rancho Valencia Resort in Rancho Santa Fe on Saturday, Sept. 29, starting at 5 p.m. Starry, Starry Night will be the first local charity event held at the resort. The evening begins with an elegant cocktail hour, followed by a gourmet dinner served al fresco and catered by Eric Bauer, the award-winning new chef at Rancho Valencia. Designer Tricia Renia of The Floral Department will enhance the beautiful outdoor setting with unique and sustainable floral designs and artistic lighting effects. The featured artist headlining the evening is Coco Montoya, a legendary musician who, for a decade, was guitarist for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers before starting his own band. Montoya’s playing combines explosive, mind-bending guitar licks, a searing tone, and solos that carry more emotion than just about any other guitarist you can name, while his unaffected vocals are impassioned and soulful. Tickets for Starry, Starry Night are $500 per person, and are anticipated to sell out early. Sponsorships range from $5,000 up to $100,000. For information about sponsorships or the event, call Kristen Kurtz at (858) 598-2222 or kristenk@speakupnow.org. To purchase tickets, visit www.ssn2012.org.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RACING continued from page B16 number on its saddle cloth and the color of its jockey’s silks, it’s a lot tougher to identify who’s who in the mornings, unless you already know the trainer’s trademark colors and patterns and you’re very familiar with the horse’s markings. Otherwise, you can hope that someone who is “connected” will tip you off, or that a rider will tell you who their mount is as they walk past. Jockeys are a lot easier to identify. I had no trouble picking out Chantal Sutherland, this year’s “face of Del Mar,” who was wearing a neon pink vest and white gloves. Once Dawn was finished, we meandered a bit through the backside, past horses whose heads were poking out of their stalls to grab bites from the hay racks, and others who were being led by mechanical hot walkers in circles to cool down and dry. It was almost feeding time and near the end of

training hours, somewhere in the neighborhood of 9:30 a.m., so Dawn and I headed back to Bran Jam headquarters to shower the racehorses with love and attention. “Frankie,” who ended up walking under tack that morning — wearing equipment such as a saddle and bridle — was curious and poked her nose at my camera lens hood. Hard to Resist was exactly that — she adored the hugs and kisses. And She’s Cheeky was so gentle, Dawn and one of the stable workers were able to offer her carrots poking out from their mouths. Meanwhile, buckets of bran mixed with supplements and vitamins tailored specifically for each horse’s needs was prepared and served. It was my cue to exit. My morning was over, but my day wasn’t. It was time to get ready for another afternoon of adrenaline, and cheer on Gab Power to a third-place finish in an allowance event.

He relies on his training and self-confidence, “I know what they’re looking for in me when I go out there and what they expect of me. It’s performing under stress – some just can’t do it. “I hear people say, ’My camera is my barrier that separates me from what’s going on.’ In my opinion, that’s stupid. They’re neglecting their own safety and that of others.

Weinstein has mastered a college-style spread offense that is both exciting to watch and difficult to execute. He threw for 1,063 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Other key returnees include running back Jeremy Danzig, and Jake Posnock (both seniors). Danzig led the team rushing for 552 yards and five touchdowns last season. Posnock was the team’s leading tackler last season with 68.

“My reward is performing at a level which grants me success in what I do. I feel like I’m doing a good job, I’m physically fit and healthier than I was before. My mind is right.” Sanchez calls Albuquerque, New Mexico, home, where his family resides. “My dad’s kind of a bikerdude. He’s proud I took a step forward and will back me no matter what. There are days when I pray I don’t pick up a video camera and days when I think it couldn’t get any better.” More than a haircut has changed for Sanchez, who sports a hard-won attitude, “Be real, be focused. Don’t be apathetic. If you want something bad enough, you can make it happen.” Sanchez was featured in Popular Photography Magazine’s November 2011 issue.
