Panelists ponder Internet’s survival

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Contributor Last week, UCSD was the scene of a wide-ranging discussion on the future of the Internet. Before a rapt audience of academics, students and technology industry leaders, visionaries demonstrated novel applications and described myriad new ways to interact with the Net, while research scientists laid out the formidable technical challenges ahead to satisfying ever-increasing demand as users become more dependent on the Internet to manage their daily lives.

Amid heady predictions came this cautionary note: “We are more dependent on electricity than on anything else,” said Vint Cerf, vice president and chief Internet evangelist at Google.

A few hours later, a power outage left millions of people in San Diego County, Orange County, Arizona, and parts of Mexico without electricity.

“How Will the Internet Survive?” was the theme of the 2011 Marconi Society Symposium, held Sept. 8, at UCSD’s Calit2 (California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology). In a point/counter-point dialogue, experts evoked a future in which Internet access, via mobile devices, allows us not only to auto navigate while driving, read e-books, and manage finances, but one day might See SURVIVAL, Page 6

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Del Mar’s first and only medical marijuana cooperative has closed for good under a lawsuit settlement approved unanimously Monday by the City Council during a closed session meeting with attorneys.

The settlement was announced by City Attorney Leslie Devaney after the council returned to open session. It calls for Patrick Kennedy, the operator of the 1105 Cooperative, to pay

$10,000 to the city by Friday, and bars him from opening a medical marijuana dispensary in the city for seven years. If the terms of the settlement are violated, Devaney said, Kennedy would owe the city $62,350.

Bob Mahlowitz, an attorney who represented the city in its lawsuit against the cooperative, said the larger figure represents cumulative fines levied against the cooperative for operating without a business license and violating city zoning laws.

Proposal to extend fair run prompts concerns

Lunch program gets healthy marks

BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Following a third consecutive year of record attendance in 2011, organizers of the San Diego County Fair are considering expanding the fair’s 22-day run by two days next year, but the proposal has drawn criticism from the fairgrounds’ neighbor to the south.

Del Mar Mayor Don Mosier spoke at the fair board’s meeting Tuesday, Sept 13, requesting that the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which

Over the summer the school board entered a contract with the vendor Choicelunch, a company that provides meals for children, mostly made from scratch using locally sourced organic fruits and vegetables, and hormoneand antibiotic-free poultry and meats.

“It’s just great to see kids eating ‘real food’,” said Yana Mohanty, co-chair of the Child Nutrition Committee. “Last week I saw children gobbling up chicken noodle soup.”

The Del Mar council discussed the issue at its meeting Monday and directed city staff to send a letter outlining its concerns to the fair board.

Mosier delivered the letter Tuesday.

Kehoe’s Interstate 5 bill heads to governor Sen. Christine Kehoe’s (D-San Diego) legislation requiring improved transit as part of the expansion of Interstate 5 in San Diego County received final approval Sept. 9 in the Legislature and now heads to Gov. Jerry Brown for consideration.

“This legislation helps ensure that those living and working within the North Coast Corridor will have viable and convenient transit options during the 40-year period that freeway improvements are underway,” said Kehoe.

SB 468 requires a minimum of two public hearings on the proposed project’s design and mitigation, and that the recently adopted $2.5 billion regional bike plan is used to better link bicycle and pedestrian trails to transit. SB 468 also requires that transit and highway improvements in the corridor be done concurrently, to limit damage to the six coastal lagoons.

Consistent with the bill, Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration recently announced that the preferred plan for

expanding I-5 between La Jolla Village Drive and Camp Pendleton would add four managed lanes to the existing eight lanes. One alternative considered by Caltrans called for adding six more lanes, which would have required taking up to 420 homes. Kehoe has long advocated that the I-5 expansion be limited to the existing right-of-way.

Under SB 468, the new lanes would accommodate carpools, buses and specially designated clean air vehicles. It also allows the collection of tolls, similar to the system used on I-15, with the estimated $1 million to $3 million generated annually to be used only for transit improvements within the corridor.

The 27-mile, $3.5 billion project is funded by federal, state, and local TransNet funds, San Diego County’s voter-approved ½-cent sales tax dedicated to transportation. To learn more about the project, which is planned to begin in 2013, visit www.keepsandiegomoving.com.

The study also cited the possibility of economic losses up to $440 million at Venice Beach and about $500 million by the end of the century at Malibu. “Sea level rise will send reverberations throughout local and state economies,” King said. “We also found that the economic risks and responses to a changing coastline will vary greatly over time and from beach to beach.”

The study, which also looked at Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County and Ocean Beach in San Francisco was paid for by the Department of Boating and Waterways, aimed at assessing the effects of rising sea levels on beach erosion and loss of habitat.

Carmel Valley family shares inspirational tale of adoption

BY KELLEY CARLSON CONTRIBUTOR At age 25, Martin Pieronek is living the American Dream. The Torrey Pines High School graduate holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemical engineering, and he recently landed a job in Texas that involves the marketing of process simulation software products. But the road to success involved some obstacles for the native of Vietnam.

Helping Martin navigate the path were Carmel Valley residents Cindy and Jim Pieronek and their son, Chris.

In the mid-1990s, the Pieroneks, unable to have additional children, considered adopting a young child through agencies connected with their congregation, the San Diego Church of Christ.

“We were in limbo,” Cindy Pieronek said.

Around this time, a friend of theirs from church was traveling back and forth from Vietnam, in the process of adopting a baby girl from a family living on the street. The friend informed the Pieroneks that while she was in Vietnam, she met a nice, young boy whose 72-year-old adoptive mother, Tuyet, was seeking better opportunities for him in America. Tuyet had broken her hip, and she was concerned that she couldn’t care for the energetic Martin — known then as Hong An — who was 11 years old, according to Cindy Pieronek.

“I thought: ‘Older child? Are you nuts?! This wasn’t what we were thinking!’ ” Pieronek said, who was dealing with 7-year-old Chris’ ADD (attention deficit disorder) issues.

Martin had been with Tuyet since he was an infant; he had been given up by his birth mother several days after his arrival into the world. During her pregnancy, his mother had to be sequestered and protected to ensure Martin’s safety in Communist-run Vietnam, Pieronek said.

“It was culturally not sanctioned” to be pregnant out of wedlock, she added.

Fortunately for Martin and his birth mother, they had the assistance of Catholic nuns working in a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

“The Catholic nuns did their best to take children off the street and care for them,” Pieronek said. They bought the homeless children books, clothes and uniforms, so they appeared similar to those who were paying for school.

The nuns also fed the children and taught them how to read and write, Pieronek added.

The nun who aided Martin’s birth mother initially took Martin into her home, but it was her sister Tuyet — a career nurse — who adopted the baby boy and lovingly raised him as her own.

“Martin had a beautiful, wonderful extended family,” Pieronek said.

“He never knew he was adopted until later on.”

When the opportunity arose for the Pieroneks to adopt Martin, the timing appeared to be a concern. The family had recently moved to Carmel Valley from Albuquerque, N.M., after Jim accepted a job offer at Qualcomm.

“At the time, we were financially strapped,” Cindy Pieronek said. “I said to my friend, ‘We’ll pray about it and see what happens.’ ” The cost of the adoption was estimated to be $15,000 to $20,000. The Pieroneks prayed, and they received plenty of advice from close church friends. As soon as they started doing that, the money started coming out of nowhere, Cindy Pieronek said. Jim reMartin, Chris, Cindy and Jim Pieronek ceived a bonus from Courtesy of Cindy Pieronek work, and Cindy landed a job as a peared,” and a Vietnamese government technical writer for a biotech company. agency reviewing the case asked for “God provided money, resources money in order to “continue” processand help,” Cindy Pieronek said. ing, Cindy Pieronek said.

grown up with Buddhist and Catholic beliefs, and when he was baptized in the Catholic Church, the ceremony was performed under St. Martin.

Along with the language barrier, Martin had a difficult time with traveling and often got motion sickness — cars and airplanes were not his primary mode of transportation in Vietnam.

Cindy Pieronek added that Martin and 9-year-old Chris got along well together, often playing video games and having fun with their two cats.

To further adjust to living in the United States and to help him catch up on his English, the Pieroneks had Martin repeat seventh grade at Carmel Valley Middle School and take English as a Second Language for a short amount of time. Martin caught on quickly, and went on to take honors English, Spanish and four years of Japanese when he attended Torrey Pines High School.

After graduating from Torrey Pines, Martin went to UCLA and received a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 2008. But the recession hit, and jobs in the field were few. Martin found work at a Radio Shack near his home and was top in cell phone sales, Cindy Pieronek said.

“He has a natural ability with people and business,” she added.

Wanting to pursue more in his career, Martin went back to school in August 2010, and received his master’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Florida this spring.

Now with a company in Texas, where he is teaching clients how to use their software products, Martin will be periodically traveling to Asia for work.

“We’re really proud of him,” Pieronek said. “We talk with him just about every other day. And he still stays in communication with his family back home (in Vietnam).”

She added that Martin finally met both of his birth parents, which occurred in the last few years. Tuyet died about two years ago, Pieronek said, which was hard for Martin.

“When he thinks of Mom, that’s who he thinks of,” Pieronek said.

She hopes the tale of Martin’s adoption will be an inspiration to others.

“My goal is that by sharing our story, I will show how God moved to make this a reality for one native son of Vietnam and encourage others to consider adopting children and older ones at that, not just babies,” she said. “Martin has been a great blessing to our family, and we will forever be entwined with Vietnam and its people.”

TPHS student delights audience with her ‘arangetram’ Bharatnatyam is a 3,000-year-old dance form with origins in the temples of South India. This ancient art form is kept alive today, in America, by various dance gurus and their students. After years of study under a guru, the pupil ascends the stage for their first solo performance — the arangetram.

Torrey Pines High School student Mitali Chansarkar delighted her audience as she performed her arangetram on Aug. 27 at the Carlsbad Cultural Center. The live orchestra — led by Mitali’s guru Ramya Harishankar (from Irvine) — beautifully accompanied the dancer.

Mitali’s dance brought to life stories of Ganesha, Krishna and Shiva. Her repertoire consisted of seven dances in traditional order of Pushpanjali, Jathiswaram, Varnam, Padams (3), and Thillana . Her varnam — which is the major number — was a 20-plus minute dance depicting the stories of Lord Krishna from his cowherd days to His reciting the Bhagavad-Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield. Mitali was energetic and displayed strength, stamina and memory power in completing that dance. Her abinayam, which is the facial expressions showing various emotions, was moving and quite advanced for a 15-year-old girl. Her quick foot work, her postures, and her hand gestures, along with the live music, was enjoyable to watch.

Mitali Chansarkar One of the highlights of the program was a dance in which Mitali’s mother, Namrata, joined her on stage and together they danced a song to the Motherland. Mother and daughter moved across the stage, full of love for each other, and joy in the dance. Many were moved to tears.

Mitali’s kind, sweet nature, her passion for the art, her teacher’s diligent training, and the love of her family and friends, made the evening a moving, spiritual, and enjoyable experience for all.

Arangetram — the beginning of dance.

A Main Street for Carmel Valley

‘A Case For Smiles’ Local Girl Scout Troop #1614 of the Carmel Valley Service Unit has completed their Silver Award, “A Case For Smiles,” by sewing 350 pillowcases for ConKerr Cancer San Diego.

These colorful, fun-themed, hand-made pillowcases will help critically ill children at Rady Children’s Hospital, Pediatric Hospice, The Ronald McDonald House, American Cancer Society Cancer Camps, Palomar Pomorado Hospital, Balboa Naval Hospital, and the VA Hospital (Oncology Ward).

The inspiration for this program began in 2002 when 12-year-old Ryan Kerr was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. To brighten his hospital room, Ryan’s mother made him a cheerful pillowcase. After receiving approval from the hospital administration, Cindy Kerr was allowed to put the pillowcase on Ryan’s pillow. The hospital soon requested more of these special pillowcases for all the children in the oncology ward. Sadly, in February 2008, Ryan lost his battle with cancer at the age of 17. Cindy Kerr continued this incredible project to honor Ryan’s legacy, thus forming ConKerr Cancer (conkerrcancer.org).

Troop #1614 chose ConKerr Cancer as their Silver Award project shortly after meeting Audrey Eller in September 2009. Audrey, an Optimist member for 23 years and Childhood Cancer chairperson, was in the process of developing a San Diego ConKerr Cancer Chapter as Regional Coordinator for Southern California. Since the chapter’s inception in October 2009, over 17,000 pillowcases have been sewn and donated for these special patients.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Troop #1614 would like to encourage everyone in the community to join this effort in providing pillowcases to these children who are battling for their lives. For more information on how you can create or donate to this cause, please visit www.conkerrcancersandiego.org.

POT continued from page 1 nedy and the cooperative, said her client has agreed to the settlement.

The cooperative opened April 1 at 1105 Camino Del Mar, and the city immediately notified Kennedy through a hand-delivered letter that his business license had been revoked, and that the city’s zoning laws do not allow marijuana dispensaries anywhere within Del Mar. Kennedy remained open in defiance of the city’s attempts to close the cooperative until July, when the city filed its lawsuit and a judge issued a temporary injunction ordering the cooperative to cease operations.

Although Kennedy said in July that he planned to fight in court to reopen the cooperative, the storefront has since been vacated. Kennedy could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

“If everything goes according to plan it should be finally resolved,” Mahlowitz said of the lawsuit. *****

Carmel Valley At its meeting Monday, the council also directed interim City Manager Mark Ochenduszko to send a letter to the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the Del Mar fairgrounds, requesting the agency to conduct traffic analysis before expanding the run of next year’s San Diego County Fair beyond its current run of 22 days.

The fair drew record attendance of 1,412,113 during this year’s run in June and July, and fairgrounds officials are considering expanding the run by two or three days as a way of decreasing traffic congestion on peak days.

But Del Mar council members were skeptical of the plan, and suggested more fair days might actually increase attendance and accompanying traffic.

“I don’t think it’s going to help with the traffic,” said Councilwoman Lee Haydu.

“I think we should be on the record opposing this,” said Mayor Don Mosier. “This will have a negative impact on Del Mar.” The fair board was expected to consider next

year’s fair dates at its meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

The city’s letter requested the fair board to create a traffic plan for the expanded schedule and allow the city to review it before a final decision on the dates is made.

The city also wanted the fair board to outline a plan for cleaning local streets of dirt and debris during major events such as the fair.

In other action, the Council: •Appointed Dawn Rawls, Justin Kulongoski and Mark Corcoran to the San Dieguito Lagoon Committee.

•Appointed Al Corti and Edward Yuskiewicz to the Traffic Parking Advisory Committee.

•Accepted a $650,000 grant from the state coastal conservancy for construction of components of the 17th Street Beach Safety Center.

•Accepted a $2,500 grant from San Diego Gas & Electric Co. for materials and supplies for the Del Mar Community Emergency Response Team.

FAIR continued from page 1 effectiveness of traffic control supervised by the fairgrounds, cleanup of dirt and debris on city streets during and after the fair, and whether expanding the fair’s schedule requires review under California environmental regulations.

Jim Benedict, a Del Mar resident, also addressed the fair board about the expansion proposal by fairgrounds General Manager Tim Fennell. Rather than vote on the issue Tuesday, Benedict said, “I hope you vote no and do not do it and give it some more thought.”

When he moved to Del Mar, Benedict said, the fair ran for 14 days. The fair has run for 22 days in June and July since 2004.

“Really, where does the bleeding stop?” Benedict said.

Fennell told the board he would meet with Del Mar and Solana Beach officials and community members before bringing the

proposal back to the fair board for consideration.

This year the fair ran from June 10 through July 4, and was closed on Mondays. A total of 1.412 million people attended this year, up from 1.338 million in 2010.

“The fair is so popular the attendance is growing.

There seems to be a demand from the people of San Diego to come to the fair,” Fennell said.

At its meeting last month, the fair board approved the dates of June 8 through July 4 for the 2012 fair. If Fennell’s proposal is approved, the fair would remain open on two Tuesdays, June 12 and 19, for a total of 24 days.

Fennell said the additional days are intended to meet the demand and reduce traffic congestion.

“Adding more days, you’re going to spread out the attendance to some degree.”

The fair also provides jobs and tax revenue to the region, he said, which are important considerations, he said.

Project K-Nect, funded by a grant from Qualcomm’s Wireless Reach initiative, provided ninth graders in select North Carolina public schools with Internet access through free smartphones in order to mine supplemental math content aligned with course objectives and teachers’ lesson plans.

“Crowdsourcing” has allowed researcher Albert Yu-Min Lin to “funnel a bunch of brain power” in his search for the tomb of Genghis Khan. To date, some 1.8 million Internet users have used their visual perception to scan, at their leisure, bite-size, satellite images taken over a 6,000-square-kilometer area in Mongolia to aid Lin in his quest.

But an estimated 2 billion Internet users worldwide is straining existing technology. Internet traffic is doubling every one to two years with much of the demand taking the form of email, web browsing, and music and video sharing.

“The demand for bandwidth seems insatiable,” said Robert W. Tkach, director of the Advanced Photonics Research department at Bell Laboratories.

“More data means more traffic, even if all you do is back up existing data.”

But researchers face limits due to the nonlinear nature of fiber cables, current antenna technology, and the future ability to support bandwidths in the Gigahertz and even subTerzhertz range.

“Fiber optic constraints are being pulled by the applications,” said Theodore Rappaport, professor and founding director of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group at the University of Texas at Austin. “We need a new WDM.” (In reference to Wavelength-Division Mul-

the fair board approved a theme of space exploration for next year’s fair.

“We think this theme will go far with the educational aspect, the fun aspect and the entertainment aspect,” Fennell said.

“There’s got to be a lot of connections for San Diego County, science and space,” said board president Adam Day. The fair board meeting on Tuesday also provided an occasion to bid farewell to two former board members, Kelly Burt and Barry Nussbaum, who were dismissed by Gov. Jerry Brown in June. In all, Brown has dismissed five members of the nine-member board.

Last month, Brown appointed five new members: Lisa Barkett, 52, of La Jolla; Tom Chino, 62, of Del Mar; David Lizerbram, 35, of San Diego; Frederick Schenk, 57, of Carmel Valley; and David Watson, 54, of Chula Vista.

As the meeting began, Day congratulated the new members and welcomed them to the panel.

Add to the above, concerns about Internet security and every-increasing power consumption.

“You really need the creative people, the ‘gee whiz’ group that keeps fueling the demand,” said Ramesh Rao, director of the UCSD branch of Calit2, in summary of the morning’s discussion. “Then you also need the community that can keep the technology up with the demand.”At an awards dinner that evening (by candlelight due to the power outage), the 2011 Marconi Society Prize was presented to Irwin Jacobs and the late Jack Wolf — two engineers whose groundbreaking research and designs in digital communication helped propel the information revolution. Both men were longtime professors at UC San Diego.

The Marconi Society was established in 1974 by Gioia Marconi Braga, the daughter of Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the first practical radio-signaling system, who shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in physics for what was then known as “wireless telegraphy.”

Patrick Kennedy to speak at event launching Research Report: Find may help overcome antibiotic-resistant bacteria Scouting’s Mental Health Awareness badge

BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN CONTRIBUTOR Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have successfully re-engineered the antibiotic vancomycin to kill the deadliest antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The walls of bacteria are made of a complex material called peptidoglycan. Vancomycin acts against bacteria by grabbing onto peptidoglycan, rendering it useless, and ultimately killing the pathogen. Unfortunately, bacteria have found a way to alter the peptidoglycan molecule so that what once attracted vancomycin now repels the antibiotic thus preventing binding.

But two can play at this game and in so doing TSRI chemists achieved a double victory. Researchers successfully altered vancomycin to be attracted to peptidoglycan in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and, in addition, the redesigned vancomycin maintains its ability to bind to wild-type peptidoglycan.

Results are published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. News release at http://bit.ly/qyMZMx. Protection from colitis Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affects more than 1 million patients in North America. The condition is prompted by different cytokines — small signaling proteins — that activate the immune system, causing chronic inflammation.

Researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine have discovered that expression of a newly identified human cytokine — Interleukin 37 (IL-37) — protects mice from colitis, by downgrading inflammation. This is significant because IL-37 is a member of the IL-1 family and most molecules in the IL-1 family appear to promote an inflammatory response. IL-37 does the opposite.

Once the mechanism of IL-37 action is understood, scientists hope one day to engi-

neer cells to overproduce IL-37 in order to treat or control an overactive immune system in humans. The study appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS). News release at http://bit.ly/pqsIHX. Focusing on eating disorders A worldwide consortium of scientists has identified a genetic pattern associated with poor recovery from eating disorders.

The study was led researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and the Scripps Translational Science Institute.

A total of 1,878 women participated in the study, which looked for the frequency of specific inherited factors in different groups with eating disorders, including those with anorexia who did not show signs of recovery for long time periods. Among the genetic patterns identified were that the women who did not recover over the long term exhibited a higher frequency of genetic variations in a family of genes that code for the GABA receptors. GABA is a neurotransmitter that regulates brain chemistry or the central nervous system. Previously, the genes encoding the GABA receptors were not thought to be involved in behavioral disorders.

Typically, behavioral disorders are genetically linked to the neurotransmitter receptors serotonin and dopamine. In this study, no genetic variations in the serotonin or dopamine receptor gene families were found.

This suggests that a course of action geared toward the GABA receptors, rather than serotonin or dopamine uptake, may provide a treatment in patients with eating disorders. The findings appear in the journal Neuropsychpharmacology. News release at http://bit.ly/mZDhb7.

BY MEGAN MCVAY INTERN This year at the Berklee College of Music Summer Program, administrators realized that Chris Borst’s talent was more than just music to their ears.

While attending the one-week camp in Los Angeles, the Canyon Crest Academy junior harmonized his lively stage presence and unique lyrics with his impressive guitar, singing and drumming skills. As a result, Borst was awarded a scholarship to next year’s five-week summer performance program at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Although receiving the scholarship certainly struck a high note, it is only one of Borst’s many accomplishments.

His musical prowess began in the 7th grade when he joined his first band called “Thunder Ground” as the drummer and recorded his first songs at a local studio. Borst further fostered his musical passion by learning to play the guitar and taking vocal lessons.

Drawing inspiration from Led Zeppelin and the Foo Fighters, Borst faithfully practiced daily, held garage band rehearsals and even began to write his own songs.

The first song he wrote was called “Goodbye Gorgeous” and since then he has been a part of more than 40 songs and five different bands. Borst experiments with classic rock, metal, grunge and alternative rock, but he also stresses the importance of staying in tune with his own personal sound.

“It’s hard to write your own lyrics and find your sound and not sound cheesy or off-putting,” said Borst.

“Writing songs is very personal. It’s not fun to hear something that doesn’t sound like yourself.”

With the support of his family, friends and band members, Borst has transitioned from garage practices to center stage performances. On Nov. 29, after going through several auditions, he was able to compete in the Bringing Down the House: Battle of the Bands competition, an annual teenage event hosted by the International House of Blues Foundation. He has also performed at venues such as the Del Mar Fair, Epicentre and Soma.

“The coolest concert I ever got to play at was a local, sold-out show at Soma San Diego this past January. My band called ‘For the Legends’ got to perform in front of a crowd of 1,300 screaming people. Seeing that many people in front of me was beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Borst reminisced.

Chris Borst Not only has Borst played at numerous concerts alongside his favorite local bands, but he has also performed on multiple radio shows, including Sophie’s 103.7, Star 94.1 and 102.1 KPRI. He was even named “Artist of the Week” by 103.3 KTMQ in Temecula.

Now a member of the band “Captain Fiction,” Borst is continuing to write songs and book performances. Recently, on Sept.

4, Borst performed his newest song called “Castle County” on Rock 105.3 and on Sept. 9 he played in Epifest concert at Epicentre.

Yes, Borst has big dreams of affecting lives with his music, and with numerous performances, songs and concerts under his belt, he has certainly started his journey down the road to stardom on a good note.

“I’m looking forward to keeping up the show playing and music camps. And I am definitely looking forward to the Berklee camp and all that will come with it, especially going to Boston. After the camp, I hope I will get accepted to Berklee College of Music,” Borst said.

Local couple adds to their version of the ‘American Dream’ by producing musicals year-round for San Diego audiences

BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor Gary and Erin Lewis never dreamed they would be doing what they are doing today, but, in fact, they’re living their version of the American Dream.

In college, Gary joked with his counselor that he might become a Tupperware distributor like his parents, but, with his talent for math, he thought he’d best apply himself to becoming a chartered public accountant and joining a top accountancy firm, which, as it turned out, he did — for awhile.

And, Erin, whose parents, Fon and Audrie Johnson, ran a kennel and trained police dogs, figured she would become a legal secretary, which she also did — for awhile.

But then, they met, at a dog show, married and their plans not only changed, but merged.

Erin, left her secretarial job, to become, yes, you guessed it, a Tupperware distributor, selling up a storm, and Gary, gave up

his job as a CPA at Peat Marwick & Mitchell to help manage the administrative side of their growing Tupperware distributorship.

That was 38 years ago.

These days, the Lewises, now in their early 60s, live in a luxury 7,200-square-foot local home (7,255 sq. ft., to be accurate, and Gary is) they bought as it was being constructed 11 years ago.

“That’s what this house is all about,” Gary said. “Tupperware.”

“Made of plastic and we burp the doors” Erin quipped.

You mean, we had to ask, you were able to buy this house with proceeds made by selling plastic food-storage containers with airtight “burping seals” at home Tupperware parties?

“You betcha,” Erin confirmed. “We like to say: ‘This is the house that Tupperware built.’”

The Lewises continue to run their Tupperware business out of their office in Kearny Mesa as “legacy

executive directors” in charge of a sales team of 600, but in 2006 they added a new element to their dream scenario.

They founded the San Diego Musical Theatre (SDMT), the now awardwinning nonprofit theater company that produces contemporary and classic musicals year-round and provides employment for professional actors, directors, choreographers, musicians and technicians.

SDMT is about to launch its third full season with the production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical hit “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat” Sept.

23 through Oct. 9 at the Lyceum Theatre in downtown San Diego’s Horton Plaza.

Asked what prompted them to take on the daunting challenge of producing hit musicals --- often requiring large casts and expensive sets — in San Diego?

“Blame it on our daughter, Jill, who started

in musical theater when she was 11,” Erin laughed.

As a parent of a child involved in theatre, Erin, soon found herself driving her daughter to rehearsals, sitting through rehearsals and getting involved as a volunteer and “angel” (a person who contributes money and/or services to a theater company) with the companies putting on the shows.

Erin even tried her hand at performing with her daughter in the Moonlight Theatre’s production of “The Sound of Music.”

“I played a nun,” she said sheepishly.

“And then as Jill got older, Gary, too, got involved, painting sets, working on crew … and doing sound design for them.”

Their daughter continued performing in musicals in Los Angeles while attending UC Irvine; and Gary and Erin continued to be involved.

“We just loved the whole atmosphere of it,” Erin said. “And we thought for a number of years we might like to somehow bring musicals to San Diego and we thought with our business background maybe we could make it happen.”

When Tupperware changed its method of product delivery and distribution, Gary found he had more free time to look into the idea.

Erin and Gary Lewis

“The thing we felt that was missing in San Diego was a year-round, professional, nonprofit musical theater,” they said. “We thought, well, we’ll try it and see if there’s a place for us.”

In 2007, the Lewises produced their first show, the regional premiere of “The Full Monty” at the

Season Three will kick off later this month with “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” to be followed by “The Marvelous Wonderettes” and “Rent.”

Local facility helps give big cats a second chance Support puts the ‘bears’ in Lions Tigers and Bears

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer What do North County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and local residents Gwendolyn Meyer, Becky Zebolt and Janet Wanerka — among many others — have in common?

They are loyal supporters of Lions Tigers and Bears, a 94-acre facility located just east of San Diego that has become a lifelong home to a number of displaced or neglected bears and exotic cats.

And as more and more San Diegans become familiar with and support the cause, founder Bobbi Brink hopes to turn the sanctuary into much more.

“They give animals born in captivity a chance to live when they otherwise might be killed or abused,” said Meyer, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. “They really know what they are doing and they genuinely care about the animals.”

The Japatul Valley facility houses 13 big cats: four Bengal Tigers, one leopard, one Africal serval, three bobcats, a mountain lion and three African lions. Under construction is a three-acre bear habitat, which will

Bobby Brink and Liberty, one of three black bears at Lions Tigers and Bears. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN house three black bears, two of which were rescued only weeks ago from a small, non-licensed zoo in Oklahoma that could no longer afford to feed its animals.

Brink is nursing one of the bears back to health, and counting the days until the completion of the bear habitat, which will have trees, structures, a waterfall and a pond stocked with trout and bass.

Brink is a life-long animal lover who has worked with big cats since 1992.

One would think the facility founder — who runs the sanctuary as a volunteer, not getting a salary or keeping a dime of proceeds — has spent years with the bears already. As she approached one of the bears, Liberty, on a recent Saturday, it greeted her warmly and nuzzled her through the cage. She

kneeled beside the cage of another bear, Delilah, who had been moved to the shade as her health was being tended to.

“We’ve seen a lot of improvements,” said Brink of the bear, who was on her way to being hunted at a “big game” ranch had she not been rescued. “If this bear makes it, that’s my paycheck.”

Brink enjoyed a site visit two weeks ago by Del Mar resident Slater-Price and members of the supervisor’s staff, who wanted to see the results of the office’s financial support. The supervisor recently got board approval to dedicate more than $23,000 of the neighborhood reinvestment fund to Lions Tigers and Bears, specifically for the purpose of building a bear habitat, which would not have been

camping,” Brink said. “He was dying when we were getting our permits to start the place, and we named it that in his honor.”

Supporters like Wanerka are excited that the facility can now house rescued bears.

“It’s lived up to it’s name,” she said of the sanctuary, which is the only federal- and state-licensed facility in San Diego County.

In addition to being a rescue facility, Brink has plans to expand the educational aspect of Lions, Tiger and Bears. Currently, ranch animals at Lions Tigers and Bears (cows, donkeys, sheep, pigs, etc.) are part of an “Animal Encounters” educational exhibit and hand-on lesson about the

made a reality without that monetary help, Brink said.

John Weil, Slater-Price’s chief of staff, said the purpose of grants from the neighborhood reinvestment fund is to reinvest residents’ tax dollars back into the community to improve the quality of life.

“Slater-Price is known for supporting animal causes,” Weil said.

San Diego Gas & Electric and Seal Electric are also major supporters of the $368,000 bear habitat.

Lions Tigers and Bears got its name long before it was able to house bears.

“My father-in-law used to always tell us to watch out for lions, tigers and bears when we would go

Sept. 11, 2001, today

— Reported by Megan McVay

On Sunday, Sept. 4, at the Flower Hill Promenade, we asked local youth how Sept. 11 has shaped their lives.

JULIANNA ARIES, 17 Senior at Torrey Pines High School

“Since Sept. 11 I’ve noticed that airport security has become more intense. I feel like people are worried to fly and scared that it did happen and can happen. A lot of people live in fear just knowing it is a possibility.”

HALIEGH BENJAMIN, 15 Sophomore at Pacific Ridge Academy

“After the event, we sent aside an hour in class to talk about it. A couple years later my teacher brought in someone who was there when it happened. Realizing how real it is and hearing actual stories was a shocking experience for me.”

KITCHENS/BEDROOMS/BATHS

RAFAEL ROBLES, 20 Junior at Mira Costa College

“A sense of trust has been lost. I’ve noticed people are more afraid of everyday people on the streets. People feel like they can’t trust strangers anymore, especially people of other ethnicities.”

DUSTIN PIERCE, 21

L.J. FIMBRES, 20 Sophomore at Mira Costa College

“As soon as it happened, our history books were updated.

Other than that it hasn’t physically altered my education in California in any other way. However, curiously, everything I do is still affected by it in terms of security and federal laws.”

“If anything, it has brought us closer. I feel like ever since that event, we have been united and become one.

When my friends and I see a person dressed in an army uniform, we are a lot nicer and appreciative.

We are grateful for their service to our country.”

WHOLE HOUSE RENOVATIONS

TINA DO, 19 Sophomore at University of California at San Diego

“Ever since Sept.

11 it has been more patriotic at school. We say the pledge all the time and show support for our troops.

Youth wants to represent our country more.”

Surf Boys Under 7 Team capture Nott’s championship The Surf Boys Under 7 Team became the Nott’s Forest Football Club 30th Annual Labor Day Cup U8 champions. The team played their hearts out, emerging from bracket play with a win, a loss and a tie. The faced a formidable Carlsbad Lightning Red U8 team in the semifinals, and triumphed in the finals against an accomplished Albion White U8 team.

“Our Surf U7 team, with the help of three true U8 players, did the unthinkable on the last day of tournament,” said Coach Mario Mrakovich. “The players earned the title of champions and deserved the win with their hard play, determination and team effort.”

Special tribute (Left) Last Saturday, Torrey Pines Pop Warner honored the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by using red, white and blue footballs, arm bands and patriotic hair ribbons for the cheerleaders during their league games. Although many of TPPW’s participants — football players and cheerleaders age 5-15 — were not even born yet during the attacks, or old enough to remember, they paid respect to their country and the many lives lost on that day. Each team held a moment of silence prior to kick off as they paid tribute to those lives lost and the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to make sure we are safe and sound.

The DM/CV Sharks GU17S soccer team gave their coach, Armando Gutierrez, a great birthday by winning the Hotspurs Labor Day Tournament over the long weekend. Scoring 7 goals and giving up only 1, the team was undefeated as they progressed to the finals on Monday where they beat La Mesa Matrix 3-1 in overtime.

“This was the best present they could give me,” said Coach Armando, who celebrated his birthday on the field as the girls went on to win, after the game was tied 1-1 at the end of regular play. They then played two 10-minute overtime periods and scored two additional goals to take the championship. Congratulations ladies!

BY SHERRI LIGHTNER District 1 City Council representative After more than 10 months of outreach and hours upon hours of deliberation, the City’s Redistricting Commission approved the final map for the newly configured Council districts on Aug. 25.

Because District 1, which I currently represent, had the largest population, it needed

to be redrawn both to account for population growth and to accommodate a new ninth Council district.

The new District 1 will consist of the following communities: • Carmel Valley • Del Mar Mesa • La Jolla including the section currently located in District 2 • Pacific Highlands Ranch • Torrey Hills

• Torrey Pines • University City While not everyone in the City was happy with the outcome, the new boundaries for District 1 closely matched what those in the Carmel Valley community wanted. Carmel Valley will continue to be represented in District 1 along with its fellow coastal communities such as La Jolla and University City, which

‘Jesus Saves’

BY MICHAEL HAYUTIN “Jesus Saves” seems like an odd title for an article written by a Jew. After all, this expression represents the major theological divide between Judaism and Christianity.

Only recently have I decided to look at it in a very different and meaningful way. A meaning that has noting to do with theological differences but everything to do with the survival of Israel.

As a child I saw those words on church marquees and on billboards along highways in the heartland. Some Jews, my relatives among them, would make light-hearted comments, some may say disrespectful comments about the expression like, “I guess Jesus is thrifty?” There was nothing about ‘Jesus Saves’ that had any significant meaning for this Jew in those days.

That was until a friend sent me an email link to a You Tube video of a portion of a pro-Palestinian (anti-Israel) rally at Harvard Square. The rhetoric heard and the signs displayed by the protesters in this short 2 - minute clip, consisted of the all too familiar lies and ignorance about Israel we see promoted in our elite university’s liberal arts departments. I’ve heard it all before. The demonstrators characterize Israel as an apartheid state, a genocidal nation and of course as racist. I have gotten used to all this and it usually does not have much impact on me. The world is full of ignorant, hateful and dangerous people, Jews among them.

But this particular video got to me. I was overwhelmed with a sense of sadness that I had not previously felt. In the past I may have felt some anger on occasion but never sadness.

My sadness arose when I heard some of the responses to the narrators questions directed at a middle-aged Jewish woman on the demonstration line. He asked the woman why she had not protested the brutal murder of the Fogel family or the Syrian brutality of its citizens. Her nonsensical response, “I am a Jew who absolutely disagrees with you.”

He then asked her why she was at this demonstration on a Friday and not in synagogue. “What do you do that is Jewish or involved with Jewish communal life.”

have close ties and grapple with many of the same issues.

This result could not have happened without the hard work of those of you in the community. Many of you faithfully attended every meeting, giving thoughtful and reasoned testimony about what the new District 1 should look like. Others sent letters or emails detailing both how District 1 should be config-

She then said, “My speech. My identification… I take action against genocide. My family died in the Holocaust. I defend the victims of genocide. I hate committers of genocide.”

Mind you, the “committers” she was referring to were Israelis and the Israeli government not Nazi Germany, Syria, Hamas, Hezbullah, Iran or the Palestinian teen who slit the throat of the Fogel infant.

Watching her expression fixed with conviction, defiance, unctuous moral superiority and animus toward Israel transformed my usual anger into a sense melancholy about Israel’s fight to stay alive. The stark reality that there are Jews, and not just a few, who have learned noting from thousands of years of historic persecution, hit me particularly hard. How could this woman’s moral compass be so defective? There was something about this well meaning fool and her non-threatening appearance that seemed so depressingly dangerous. She displayed an ignorant complicity with the evil that was determined to destroy the people she called her people.

As I tried to contemplate what seemed like such an incongruous picture I realized that there are others, in much greater numbers, who have moral clarity. My sadness turned to hope and appreciation. I thought about a courageous group that does not hail from Jewish families, people who do not identify themselves as Jews, who recognize authentic apartheid, who have not lost family in the Holocaust, who know what genocide means, who can distinguish victims of murder from the unintended casualties that occur in a defensive war, who openly declare their commitment to Israel and who understand what self preservation requires.

I realized that if Israel survives, she survives not because of what American Jews may or may not do. We will not and cannot do it by ourselves. We are too few, often too conciliatory, too politically correct and uncomfortable with the use of force. It is because there are tens of millions of conservative Christians who will stand with Israel as a Jewish state, that Israel’s future is more secure. For the first time in my life I perceived an entirely new and profoundly pleasing meaning in the words, “Jesus Saves.”

ured and why.

The Redistricting Commission listened.

When it came time to draw the final map, the new District 1 looked very much like the Coast and Canyons plan that you in the community had proposed.

I am especially proud of the result because this is how the process should work.

As a longtime community activist, I have al-

ways believed the best decision happens when those in the neighborhoods have a say.

It is part of why I ran for office in the first place. I wanted to give those in the community a real voice at City Hall, and I am proud that you made your voices heard during the redistricting process.

Military ‘Hero of the Month’

BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO Rotary Club of Del Mar publicity chair The Rotary Club of Del Mar has made some exciting changes under the leadership of President Sharyn Daly this year. Her energy and enthusiasm has made each club member feel special and happy to be a Rotarian each week. Along with this has come a renewed sense of being able to bring unique and individual passions to the club. Betsy Jones has only been in the Del Mar Rotary Club for less than two years, but she was inspired to present and implement a new concept this year.

Betsy says she “Thanks God every day for the service men and women who protect us and our country.” Therefore, she was inspired to start the new “Hero of the Month” program in which a member of the various military branches is honored each month.

On the second Thursday of each month, a hero is welcomed by the club, shares lunch and briefly tells the club what their role in the military is like.

In July, the “Hero of the Month” was Commander William Schmidt, Retired U.S. Navy. Commander Schmidt was accompanied at the meeting by his wife, Nancy, as he gave an inspiring summary of his military and post-military career. Not only was he inspired by his cohorts while actively serving in the Navy, but he is now continually inspired by his fellow service men and women to counsel those that have returned from traumatic deployments. His dedication to our country to make the Navy his career and now in his service to active duty personal is an inspiration.

In August, the club thanked the military by announcing the “Hero of the Month” as Staff Sergeant Mark Siverd. Mark is a young, dedicated and enthusiastic soldier who shared his two tours of Army duty in Iraq with the group. He brought his fiancé, Jessie, for lunch as his work in Iraq and his sharing of the deployments were appreciated by all.

If you would like to meet the next “Hero of the Month” please join the Del Mar Rotary Club on the second Thursday of the month. Meetings are each Thursday at noon at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar or check out the website www.delmarrotary. org.

LUNCH continued from page 1 reported at the September board meeting, the numbers for orders are up. For the week of Sept. 12 there were 4,468 orders, compared to 3,070 the same week last year. For the week of Sept.

20, 4,879 orders have already been placed compared to 3,570 last year.

For lunch last Wednesday, Sept. 7, Choicelunch served two options of bagel dogs and coleslaw or handrolled beef enchiladas. Both choices came with pineapple slices and milk.

“I think the kids are really happy with it,” said Pam Baldwin, who runs the lunch program at Ocean Air School. “I love the lunches that they’re getting. I think they look healthy, fresh and good.”

Last year Baldwin didn’t think that the side dishes and entrees were as fresh and healthy as she would’ve liked.

“They also always had snacks or desserts at the end that seemed to me like filler,” Baldwin said.

This new program offers no desserts, no filler, she said.

Meals on the menu for the week of Sept. 26 included whole grain spaghetti marinara and sunflower seeds, chicken pot stickers with rice and carrots, baked potato with three bean chili and slow-simmered “Mighty Meatball Soup.”

At the lunch tables at Ocean Air, two students proclaimed the bagel dogs “pretty good” and enchiladas were being devoured.

One kindergartner said her favorite part of the meal, the part she ate first, was the pineapple slice.

Baldwin said the first couple of weeks of school are traditionally slow for lunch orders as parents are getting the forms in but she has been pleasantly surprised at how many students are opting for the hot lunch.

“I think there are about as many orders in the first two weeks as last year in the middle of the program,” said Baldwin.

The biggest adjustment for the schools has been having the two options. Baldwin said they have had some challenges as kids need to bring cards to the table that indicate what option they have ordered and the younger kids need a little more help than the older kids at getting their correct lunch.

“I think we’ve had a great start with this vendor,” Mohanty said. “There’re still things we can improve on as far as the logistics of lunch

distribution, especially for the smaller children.”

Logistics aside, the actual food has gathered a buzz.

Mohanty said that she is hearing good, unsolicited reviews from parents and teachers, as well as her own child.

“She likes all the food she’s had so far,” Mohanty said, saying the noodle soup and the macaroni and cheese were favorites.

Mohanty hopes school PTAs will help publicize the new program and boost sales even further.

COUPLE continued from page 14 paid are the actors, directors, choreographers, musicians and technicians.

“All the rest of us are volunteers,” Erin said.

The Lewises run the theater company from their Tupperware office in Kearny Mesa.

“In general,” Gary said, “ticket sales cover up 60 percent of the costs of a production. We have to supplement the difference with donations from corporations and individuals.”

Each production, costs “anywhere from $150,000 and $175,000,” he added.

Because SDMT doesn’t own a theater, yet, it has to rent theater space which adds to the cost of each show. This season’s productions are all being staged at the Lyceum Theatre.

“Our big goal,” Erin said, “is to build a theatre here on the coast, in the

Carmel Valley/Encinitas area, where it could be the home of San Diego Musical Theatre and we could run it. There are a lot of orphan theatre companies that don’t have a place and are bouncing around from theater to theater. They could rent it, as well, at a nonprofit, nice rate for music, dance and community events.

“We’re looking for donors to make that dream a reality,” Erin said.

Also, as part of their outreach mission to introduce children to musical theatre, the company provides free special show admissions to youngsters who are members of Boys and Girls Clubs from military bases.

Del Mar Farmers Market offers unique scholarship program Looking for something to do with the entire family, friends/family visiting from out of town, where you can also get some shopping done? Come visit the Del Mar Farmers Market, open every Saturday from 1-4 p.m., at 10th Street and Camino Del Mar in the City Hall Parking Lot. Established in 1986, the DMFM is the second oldest market in the county behind Vista, and is the only farmers market in the county to donate 100 percent of net profits. This year the DMFM granted $9,000 to community organizations and scholarships.

Six scholarships were awarded to students who are part of the Del Mar Farmers Market family.

The scholarship program was created in the early 1990s in honor of Mary Maciel, one of the original farmers of the DMFM. The fund was created to encourage higher education for the children and grandchildren of participating famers, which now has been extended to their employees.

Shopping at the DMFM not only supports local farmers, but 6 percent of every dollar goes back to the community. So, in addition to tasty, healthy, and fresh local foods, the DMFM also offers a great opportunity to support our community.

In honor of the mar-

ket’s 25th anniversary, there will be special events and activities held Sept. 17, and 24. When the weekend rolls around, remember to visit the Del Mar Farmers Market; open every Saturday from 1-4 p.m., at 10th Street and Camino Del Mar.

Run to help kids at Sept. 25 event Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and Max’s Ring of Fire (MROF) will team up for the first time to host the MROF Lemon Run, a 4.6-mile run/walk and family fun run, on Sunday, Sept. 25, at 8 a.m. The event, which will take place at Lake Miramar in Scripps Ranch, will bring together athletes of all calibers to run or walk the lake’s full distance of 4.6 miles in honor of the 46 children who are diagnosed with childhood cancer each week day.

Torrey Pines Falcons and Murrieta Hawks Battle to 24-24 tie

BY BILL BUTLER Two undefeated teams, the Torrey Pines Falcons and Murrieta Hawks (Pee Wee Division), battled to a 24-24 tie Saturday at Torrey Pines High School stadium. Torrey Pines had three regulars missing from the lineup-Carson Howard, Guard (ill) and both Louie Bickett (linebacker) and Conner Whitton (quarterback) (injured).

In addition, Andre Nordan was playing his first game of the season due to a fractured thumb. Both teams entered the game with identical 2-0 records and the contest was forecast to be close. Murrieta is a large, fast, talented team, while the Falcons are possibly a bit quicker and play a very disciplined game.

The action started with the opening kickoff, as Murrieta kicked to Zac Friedland, and he returned the kickoff up the middle of the field 75 yards for a touchdown. Ryan Wells was true with the PAT kick, and Torrey Pines had an 8-0 lead with only 12 seconds gone from the game clock.

Murrieta struck back quickly, as a back broke loose for an apparent touchdown run on their first pos-

session. Tyler Alexander caught the runner from behind just short of the goal line, but his effort delayed the Murrieta score by only one play.

Alexander then came off the corner to block the PAT kick, and the Torrey Pines lead stood at 8-6.

3-5, the Sharks played four games finishing first in regular play, to secure playing in the final championship trophy game. Each game was more exciting than the next with the championship game going into overtime after a 1-1 tie. This is where the Sharks displayed their determination and love of the sport as game after game they came at the opposing teams with great teamwork and amazing moves that kept their coach and parents on pins and needles. It was truly some of the best soccer these girls have ever played!

Coach Corey Harvey once again credited the team’s success to their commitment to working hard at practices, their execution of his game plans, and their “never quit” attitude.

This is where the Sharks pregame cheer becomes a reality: “Don’t Mess with the Best…

Chomp! Chomp!”

TPHS grad highlights reality of Navy SEAL training in book ‘Suffer in Silence’

Q&A

Stay focused ‘on your passion,’ accomplished mystery writer advises

By Antoinette Kuritz, president of STRATEGIES Literary PR, a literary publicist and book project manager, and the founder of the La Jolla Writers Conference. www.lajollawritersconference.com Critically-acclaimed mystery writer Jan Burke is a master at plotting, character development, and ratcheting up suspense while keeping a center of realism in her books. Born in Texas, Burke has lived most of her life in Southern California, often in coastal cities, several of which combine to make up the fictional Las Piernas, where her series character, reporter Irene Kelly, lives and works. The bestselling author of 14 books – 12 crime fiction, one short story collection, and a supernatural thriller, Burke won one of crime fiction’s top honors, the Edgar Award, for Best Novel for Jan Burke “Bones.” The founder of the Photo courtest of Crime Lab Project,Burke strongSheri McKinley ly believes in the importance of Photography (2010) greater support for forensic science in the U.S. Burke will be keynoting at the 11th annual La Jolla Writers Conference Nov. 4-6.

Jan Burke answers questions in an interview below: When did you know you were a writer and then when did you actually begin to write?

From about the age of 7. I had been writing poems and stories almost from the time I learned how to use pencil and paper, but that is the clearest age at which I can remember saying to myself that I wanted to be a writer. Seriously sitting down to write a novel? That didn’t happen until I was in my late 30s.

How did you find your first agent, and what was the road to the publication of your first book?

First I finished a manuscript. I think a lot of beginners want to skip that step and go right to the limo ride for an interview on “Good Morning, America.” Once I finished writing and revising the book, I read guidebooks about getting published. This is all pre-World Wide Web, by the way. I tried to learn the names of reputable agents who might represent mysteries, but didn’t really have a lot of luck — not because they weren’t out there, but because I was so inexperienced. Most guides said that if you had any contact with anyone connected to publishing, pursue it.

SEE Q&A, PAGE B21

BY JOE TASH Contributor David Reid stopped at a bookstore inside San Francisco International Airport on his way to catch a flight to San Diego last week, and there it was — his newly published book stood on display at the front of the store.

“It doesn’t always feel real. It’s what I dreamed about for a decade,” said Reid, 34, author of “Suffer in Silence,” a novel about a group of sailors undergoing David Reid Navy SEAL (Sea, Air and Land Teams) training.

The book was published Aug. 16 by St. Martin’s Press, and is available at bookstores such as Barnes and Nobel, as well as online at Amazon.com.

Reid, who grew up in Solana Beach and graduated from Torrey Pines High School, wrote the book primarily to chronicle the true experience of SEAL training. The plot is about a conflict between a trainer and trainee, and swirls with intrigue around an investigation into an arms smuggling ring. But Reid considers the plot almost secondary to the realistic portrayal of SEAL training.

“People buy it just because they want to know what the training is like,” Reid said. “It’s non-fiction in disguise.”

Reid majored in history at Stanford University after graduating from high school, and immediately went into the Navy after receiving his college degree.

He soon began SEAL training in Coronado.

While competition was tough to land an officer’s spot in the SEAL program, the training was even more intense, said Reid.

“They basically torture the hell out of you to see who’s going to quit,” he said.

SEAL training includes running, swimming and diving under the worst possible conditions, while carrying heavy loads and going without sleep, he said.

“It’s such a wonderful and truly bizarre experience; you’re living a night-

Experience: www.6871FarmsView.com

David Reid’s book ‘Suffer in Silencer’ was published Aug. 16 by St. Martin’s Press. mare and a dream simultaneously,” Reid said.

The rigorous training is intended to prepare the all-male SEAL teams for dangerous assignments ranging from underwater demolition to being dropped behind enemy lines.

“They go in, do some shooting, get the job done, and then they get out,” Reid said.

Reid finished four months of training before suffering a ruptured lung in a diving accident, which forced him out of the SEAL program. At the time of his accident, he said, the initial class of 120 recruits had dwindled to less than 30.

Many of the trainees dropped out during “hell week,” which took place in the fifth week of the program, Reid said.

Hell week consisted of a grueling, 120hour stretch during which trainees were lucky to sleep for two or three hours total, all the while being pushed to their physical limits through constant exertion and bone-chilling cold.

Reid wrote the book shortly after leaving the SEAL program, but was unsuccessful in finding a publisher. After shelving the project for several years, he self-published the book, which did well on Amazon.com. A book editor came across the book and offered to re-

publish it under the St. Martin’s imprint.

Reid left the Navy in 2005 after working in Washington D.C. and graduating from law school. He now lives in La Honda, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and runs his own legal mediation practice.

“Now I’m actually a peace-maker. I try to help people resolve their disputes out of court,” he said.

While he has always wanted to be a writer and has written several unpublished books — including one about being a beach lifeguard in Del Mar — he has no immediate plans to give up his law practice to write full-time.

“I don’t want to depend on novels for cash. It’s a tough business,” he said.

“There’s always got to be something else to pay the bills.”

Reid is the father of two small children, and he tries to make it to San Diego as often as he can to visit his mother, who still lives in the family home in Solana Beach.

Although he’s no longer in the Navy or a member of the SEAL program, Reid followed with interest the saga of the SEAL team that killed Osama Bin Laden earlier this year.

“The fact that it was SEAL Team Six brought a smile to my face,” he said.

North Coast Rep opens Season 30 with sidesplitting ‘Lend Me a Tenor’

BY DIANA SAENGER Let’s Review!

The slam, slam, slamming of doors has never been funnier than in North Coast Repertory Theatre’s (NCRT) current production “Lend Me A Tenor.” Think the Three Stooges chasing themselves through a hotel room or Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in an absurd farce, and that’s the pace of this thoroughly hilarious show.

The show opens in the living room of a hotel suite in Cleveland, Ohio were sits Maggie (Courtney Corey) and Max (Christopher M. Williams). It’s obvious the two are involved, but Maggie is gushing about Tito (Bernard X. Kopsho), a famous Italian opera tenor coming to their town to star as Othello in a benefit performance. Maggie, who met Tito once before, claims to Max that she needs to have a fling before she settles down. She wants to hear bells when she kisses the right man. Williams puts on one of the best snit-fits I’ve seen on stage in his distress over Maggie’s

Max fools the cast as ‘Tito,’ from left, Ted Barton, Albert Park, Courtney Corey, Jill Drexler and Christopher M. Williams. PHOTO: AARON RUMLEY statements.

That’s about the tamest moment in this winner of three Tony Awards. Entering the living room next is a frazzled Saunders (Ted Barton), Maggie’s father and the man in charge of handling Tito who is, so far, a no-show. Saunders insists that guy-Friday Max

must sing the opera in disguise and save the show, and Max is about to have another meltdown until Tito and his fiery wife Maria (Jessica John) show up.

From this moment on nothing is predictable and there’s barely a minute when the audience is not roaring. Obviously it’s Ti-

to’s strong romantic voice (not his portly physique) that enthralls women to fall at his feet. Coming in and out of those slamming doors and ducking into closets and bathrooms to avoid each other include Maggie, singer Diana (Jacque Wilke), and the opera show manager Julia (Jill

Drexler).

Maria, tired of women hiding in his closets, tells tenor Tito in her Italian accent, “Someday you gonna wake up in bed and you gonna be a soprano!” Then she abruptly leaves the suite.

When Tito insists he must sleep before the evening’s concert, Max helps him by spiking his drink.

Hours later, Tito will not wake up, and a distraught Max has to tell Saunders that Tito is dead.

Barton portrays the overwrought Ted perfectly, never far from a heart attack and creating a tension that can be felt in the last row of the theater.

Williams easily takes Max through several traumas, and quickly works his way out of one situation into another, all with outrageous gestures. Corey is adorable in her “innocent” pursuit of a fling with Tito and trying to avoid Max and her father.

Her facial expressions intensify every evolving emotion.

John pull off their roles with precision, and adding yet another layer of humor is Albert Park as the hotel bellhop. He, too, is infatuated with Tito and does all he can to intrude into the hotel room to get a picture and autograph of the tenor.

Director Matthew Wiener has raised “Lend Me A Tenor” far off the written page. It’s a spectacular screwball comedy that will have patrons smiling long after they’ve left the theater.

Young CV performer ready DM home to murder mystery plot to tackle next role in ‘Mame’ Author to appear

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Carmel Valley resident Jonas McMullen, 11, will play the role of “Patrick” in the upcoming Lyric Opera San Diego musical production of “Mame” at Birch North Park Theatre.

The show, which will run Sept. 23-25 and Jonas McMullen Sept. 30-Oct. 2, will include top local talent such as Leigh Scarritt and Eileen Bowman, as well as Andrea Huber who has traveled in from outside of San Diego.

Jonas was born and raised in Carmel Valley where he just entered 6th grade and attends school in Solana Beach.

Jonas has always loved singing and performing for his family and friends since he could talk. Like many in the community, Jonas was passionate about soccer and frustrated that he was not able to both audition for shows and play competitive soccer, given the demands of both worlds.

This changed one day when he got what his family calls his “lucky break.” Jonas and his younger brother were “goofing off” at the top of the stairs at home, when Jonas was on the wrong end of a push and tumbled down the steps and broke his collarbone. He was 9 years old. When the doctor informed him that he would be unable to participate in soccer, Jonas asked, “Would it be OK for me to audition for a play?”

That’s when it all started. He is passionate about theatre and works hard at practicing singing and preparing for auditions for future roles.

“Jonas knows that he can continue to participate in theatre with its demanding schedule, only with the same vigorous efforts being placed into his schoolwork,” said his mother, Lauren, in an email. “His teachers have all been tremendously supportive of his extracurricular activities.”

Jonas is constantly involved with his art. Last year, he participated in several productions at J*Company Youth Theatre, in both “Turandot” and “Der Rosenkavalier” at the San Diego Opera, and with a national tour production of “Wizard of Oz” at San Diego Civic Center. After finishing with “Mame,” Jonas looks forward to returning to the Old Globe in the role of “Danny Who” in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

A friend mentioned the role of “Patrick” and thought Jonas would be perfect for the role. He auditioned and received that wonderful follow up call inviting him back to the Lyric for a callback reading. Soon after, he was offered the role. This role means so much to him as he loves the script, the music and, most of all, loves the fact that he gets to play an 11-year-old boy.

For tickets and more information, call 619-239-8836 or visit www.lyricoperasandiego.org; birchnorthparktheatre.net. Birth North Park Theatre is located at 2891 University Ave., San Diego, 92104.

Dining is a six-sided affair at the upscale Hexagone

BY DANIEL K. LEW exagone, the French bistro in the heart of Banker’s Hill of downtown San Diego, takes its name from the geometric hexagon and referencing the six-sided shape of France. Fittingly, Hexagone’s owner, Parisian-born Patrick Halcewicz, attests to the many sides of classic and contemporary French cuisine offered in the elegant-and-inviting L-shaped dining room — also six-sided.

“This type of place could exist anywhere in France,” Halcewicz said of the restaurant’s intimate atmosphere.

Cream-colored draperies accent big windows offering views of city life outside, while walls filled with Art Nouveau posters from the early 20th century also give the place chic appeal.

Halcewicz describes the restaurant’s daily offerings of about 20 appetizers and 20 entree choices as traditional Provençale French cuisine with Mediterranean and modern California influences.

“We’ve got something for almost everyone’s tastes,” Halcewicz said.

“And, our experienced, knowledgeable French waiters are very helpful.”

Classical French appetizers remain the most popular, including French Onion Soup Gratinée, Frogs Legs Provençale, Escargots à la Bourguigonne, and Crispy

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net.

Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’

■ This week: Hexagone’s Moscovy Breast of Duck with Leg Confit Sweetbreads in a Wild Mushroom Ragoût.

Frogs Legs Provençale is especially fragrant upon its arrival at one’s table: A tantalizing aroma from chopped herbs, shallots, olives, peppers, and garlic butter smother the tender morsels of frog meat.

Among the varied main course selections including beef, fish, chicken and lamb, Moscovy Breast of Duck with Leg Confit and Orange Sauce remains the best seller. The succulent duck is extra flavorful with its spice rub, along with the right amount of smokiness.

The duck is first sauteed, then finished off in the oven while cooking in its own juices.

“We use the freshest ingredients and take pride in our consistency of quality,” said Halcewicz, who added most of the

seasonal vegetables used are organic and picked from local farms.

For dessert, Halcewicz recommends Crêpes Suzette cooked in a grand-marnier sauce, or his favorite — Apple Tarte Tatin, consisting of caramelized apples with calvados in a light puff pastry, served a la mode with French vanilla ice cream.

The other “sides” of Hexagone’s offerings include a simpler lunch menu that includes sandwiches, Sunday Brunch, live jazz and blues on Tuesdays, wine nights, a full bar, and theater-goer specials. Since the restaurant is only a few blocks from Balboa Park, it offers complimentary roundtrip shuttles for diners to The Old Globe on nights when performances take place.

Before entering the restaurant business, Halcewicz managed both the historic La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla and Rancho Valencia Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. He said his years in the hospitality field transcend to his philosophy of high standards at his restaurants: French Market Grille in Rancho Bernardo, Hexagone, and Gourmet On 5th — which offers deli selections, take out and catering service across the street from Hexagone.

Free parking is available at an underground garage at the corner of Laurel Street and Fourth Avenue.

Perfusionist uses the body’s own cells to help people, animals heal

BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor For nearly 15 years, Angela Nava had worked with humans as a certified clinical perfusionist, trained to monitor blood and oxygen levels during cardiac surgery.

But it was a matter close to her own heart that encouraged Nava to perform work on animals, as well.

In 2006, Nava’s Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Zoentje (which means “kiss” in Dutch), had a mast cell tumor removed from the back of her leg. However, the incision became infected and the sutures split open.

“It was a difficult wound to treat,” Nava said.

As a perfusionist, the local resident had plenty of experience with blood work, and had successfully produced platelet rich plasma — concentrated levels of platelets, growth factors and white blood cells — to accelerate the healing process in humans. She decided to try a plasma treatment with Zoentje.

Within five days, Zoentje’s wound retracted significantly; within 30 days, it was completely closed.

Today, Nava divides her time nearly evenly between humans and animals. She serves as president of Perfusion Concepts Inc., which she runs with her older sister, Olivia Nava, and five other staff members. The company offers regenerative therapies involving concentrated stem cell and platelet rich plasma — or PRP — products. Perfusion Concepts, which opened in 2002, is based in Tierrasan-

Rancho Santa Fe. Among her success stories is the treatment of Ravel, a local dressage horse who had sustained a tendon tear in one of his forelimbs not long before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Nava partnered with board-certified veterinary surgeon Rodrigo Vazquez de Mercado at Helen Woodward to treat Ravel, who responded to stem cell and PRP applications. He went on to qualify for the Olympics, finishing fourth, and is now the most decorated dressage horse in U.S. history, according to DressageDaily.com.

The perfusionist also donates her services in times of need. During the 2007 Witch Creek fire, the Department of Animal Services contacted Nava about a homeless dog from Ramona who had horrible burns. Nicknamed “Burnie,” the canine had 40 percent to 50 percent burns to his body. Nava said she assisted Burnie through skin grating and PRP treatment on wounds that could’ve been “life threatening,” and eventually he found a good home.

Rebecca Stevens, owner of Four Paws Flying Pet Resort in El Cajon, has called on Nava for help a couple of times over the last several years, including with her beloved coonhound, Haley.

When Haley was 11, Stevens noticed that her dog — normally active and athletic — was unable to jump and that she seemed uncomfortable on walks to the beach. It was discovered that Haley had an injury to her shoulder muscle and an old break in a toe.

Dr. Seuss expert finds seven ‘lost’ stories for book No. 45

BY STEVE MIHAILOVICH Contributor The Sept. 27 release of “The Bippalo Seed and Other Lost Stories” by Dr. Seuss could force Grinches, Sneetches and Loraxes to make room for what might be the next member of that venerable pantheon: the wild wheef.

The wheef joins the icka, gritch, grickle and other fanciful characters in the new Dr. Seuss book based on a collection of old stories that have been all but forgotten since their publication in Redbook magazine in the early 1950s.

While the posthumous release of seven stories by one of La Jolla’s most renowned residents, Theodore Geisel, might appear dubious on the surface, the stories are the precursors of the rhythm, rhyme and rich illustrations that would catapult Dr. Seuss into the avant-garde of children’s literature, according to the stories’ discoverer, Dr. Charles Cohen.

“If you hear there’s going to be a book of new stories 20 years after somebody dies, it’s reasonable to think someone found something at the bottom of a drawer and dusted off the paper clips and the crumbs,” said Cohen. “That’s what I didn’t want people to think because it’s just not true. I was going to say I hope people will feel that this does him justice, but I don’t have to hope that. These are his quality stories. I know they

Dr. Charles Cohen are.”

A dentist in western Massachusetts, Cohen said he has been collecting rare documents, drawings and memorabilia by and relating to Dr. Seuss since 1988. In that time, he became such a leading expert on the subject that Geisel’s publisher, Random House, selected him to write a biography on Dr. Seuss for the centennial of his birth in 2004.

Cohen said he didn’t acquire the seven stories simultaneously, but rather as part of his more than 20year accumulation of Seuss object that has resulted in a database of 33,725 entries at last count, though not all of them are actual items. Cohen pursued those stories and others on the Internet after continuously running across references to them.

The seven stories were picked from the 30 similarly obscure stories Cohen possesses to become the 45th children’s book written and

illustrated by Dr. Seuss because these had all the elements readers have come to expect, Cohen noted.

“There are extremely strong stories and in addition, cumulatively amongst these, you get a very satisfying feeling of having all of those Seuss buttons pushed — the moral, the writing, the illustrations — all of those things,” he said.

Aside from the content, the stories are even more valuable because of the context in which they were created. Citing historical accounts, Cohen said the stories were written when Geisel had just realized the style that would eventually lead to a revolution in how children learned to read.

The seven “Bippalo Seed” stories were such a pinnacle in Dr. Seuss’s early career, that the reader will discover recognizable traces of plots and characters that were to become the basis of the author’s later, more famous works, Cohen added.

“That’s what these stories really are,” he said.

“They are an experiment of how (Geisel) could use his talents with his rhythm and his rhyme; this thing that makes kids able to memorize a whole story when they’re three-years-old even though they’re not supposed to be able to read until they’re six or seven; and get kids to be interested in reading at a younger and younger age.

There are all the important things you want children to learn about. This is some-

“The Bippalo Seed and Other Lost Stories” by Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) Random House, Sept. 27, 2011; 72 pages; $15; also available in CD and downloadable version. Targeted to ages 6-9, the seven stories in the book are: • “The Bippolo Seed” • “The Bear, the Rabbit, and the Zinniga-Zanniga” • “Gustav the Goldfish” • “Tadd and Todd” • “Steak for Supper” • “The Strange Shirt Spot” • “The Great Henry McBride”

thing we expect from Dr. Seuss.”

The merits of the new 72-page Dr. Seuss book parallel that of its author, according to Lynda Claassen, director of the Mandeville Special Collections Library at UCSD and curator of the 10,000-piece Dr. Seuss Collection there. She said that Dr. Seuss books continue to be top sellers, with “Oh The Places You’ll Go” the No. 1 gift at graduations.

“The things he wrote about are the things people still care about,” Claassen said. “His artistic and literary efforts together create that timelessness. They still mean something.”

Geisel’s widow, Audrey, said she didn’t know him when he wrote the stories found in “The Bippalo Seed and Other Lost Stories.” Although she’s not surprised that people still cherish her late husband’s stories, she still can’t pinpoint the attraction. Just like his characters, Dr. Seuss has entered his own pantheon, she said.

“Like Aesop, the Brothers Grimm and others, you can’t put your finger on it,” she said. “On and on it goes.

It’s my life now. I’m totally wrapped up in all the things that Ted was wrapped up in until he could not wrap anymore. Now he’s the lovely treasure chest when you enter the Seuss house and I’m the glass on the door. It’s beautiful.”

Surf Museum stoked over new Hansen retrospective “Hansen Surfboards – A 50 Year Retrospective,” opens Sunday, Sept. 18 at The California Surf Museum in Oceanside promising visitors “a vivid display of the legendary surf company, its founder and family history.”

It chronicles Don Hansen’s move to the West Coast from South Dakota, where he was introduced to the sport in the basement of the Beta Theta Pi frat house at the University of South Dakota. His college roommates, who were from Coronado, invited him to vacation with them during their summers, and it didn’t take long before Hansen knew he belonged in California and he became a regular at San Diego’s best surf spots.

Hansen got his start shaping surfboards for Jack O’Neill and then in 1961, he moved to the North Shore of Hawaii where he went off on his own shaping and selling Hansen Surfboards from a small shack at the end of a dirt road. While living in Ha-

waii, his love for the big waves became evident when he finished second place in the Makaha Surfing World Championships in Hawaii.

He was pictured on the cover of Surfing Magazine at Haleiwa, and was featured in the surf movie, “North Swell,” produced by Grant Rohloff.

After establishing himself as a surfer and shaper, in 1962 he returned to Southern California and opened Hansen Surfboards in Encinitas where the surf shop became one of the largest producers and suppliers of surfboards in the world.

The retrospective shows Hansen’s life from the start of Hansen Surfboards, to the days when he and his partners started the OP Clothing Company in the 1970s. It also chronicles his move to Montana where he learned to rope and ride, and started downhill ski racing. At one time in the mid 1970s, Hansen was a two-time national skydiving champion, breaking almost every record there was.

Royal Dance Academy opens new studio Carmel Valley’s Royal Dance Academy is ready to open its new 5,300 sq. ft. dance studio and embark on another journey serving the local area with dance and acting classes.

RDA has just completed its 10th successful year in Carmel Valley and demand has driven RDA to open bigger space in the same Piazza Carmel shopping center.

The new studios, next to Hallmark and Avis Car Rental, are a “state of the art” facility that has all four studios under one roof.

Two grueling months of construction are almost over as the high tech new studios take shape and prepare for opening next week. The four professionally-equipped studios are complete with professional, sprung floors, wall to ceiling mirrors on all walls, professional music systems, CCTV cameras to view classes from the lobby area, viewing areas in all studios and full-time office staff to deal with all the needs of parents and students.

Owner Francine Garton built her business over a 10-year period and then transitioned her thriving business into larger, newer premises.

Garton explained that the new schedule of classes is more comprehensive and offers classes to cater for all levels of dancer. Ballet exams are available for those serious about ballet, as are competition team auditions. But there are also many classes available for the recreational dancer, including ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop and musical theatre.

Garton said she is also very proud of her team of teachers, “They are seriously talented and committed to teach. They love their work because they love dance and love teaching.”

RDA offers a variety of teachers who cater for the different levels, ages and personality of the students.

New Santa Fe Christian school year gets a boost in technology The summer of 2011 was both busy and productive for Santa Fe Christian Schools.

Technology upgrades and renovated classrooms are a few of the numerous enhancements that will be utilized to accelerate learning in the classroom.

Santa Fe has introduced many new cutting edge tools, including one-to-one computing with Lenovo laptops and tablets, Polyvision Eno digital interactive touchscreen whiteboards, Yamaha keyboards and LanSchool collaborative software. The most in-demand gadget has to be the Qwizdom “clickers,” a student handheld remote system that allows students to get involved instantly in classroom lessons. The devices aid the teachers in assessing each student individually, giving them immediate feedback during class.

Newly remodeled classrooms welcomed students and will support all the new hardware and software upgrades. An interior renovation of the original historical bungalows was completed during an eight-week period, which included new en-

Fifth-graders Cristian Aragon and Cole Roberts input their answers using handheld ‘clickers’ during a math lesson. ergy efficient windows, new heating and air conditioning units and the replacement of all lighting fixtures throughout the school.

With the rewiring and re-cabling of the classrooms, students at Santa Fe will have access to the most up-to-date educational tools available.

Tearful urban legend may peel back the truth about onions The Kitchen Shrink

CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor With the seasons changing and kids back at school (which I liken to immersing their little bodies into a giant Petri dish), 24-hour bugs and even worse, the flu will start to surface.

Could the common, tear-jerking onion (a member of the lily family and first cousin to garlic, chives and shallots) ward off all that ails you? You peel away the facts behind this folklore and decide for yourself!

By the end of 1919, the influenza pandemic

had killed more than 40 million people worldwide.

During the height of the contagion, a doctor in the Midwest was paying house calls to various farmhouses hit hard by the epidemic.

Upon entering one particular home, his nostrils filled with the pungent perfume of raw onions. To his amazement, no one in that household had contracted the flu.

The farmer’s wife pointed to the assorted dishes in every room in the farmhouse filled with halved onions, and attributed the bullet-dodging of the deadly disease to this home remedy.

The inquiring-minded doctor asked if he could take one of the onions, and after examining the layers under a microscope, he noticed the tissues teaming with microbes. He hypothesized that the onion must have acted like a viral sponge, absorbing deadly pathogens from the air, and thereby creating a pristine, germ-free environment.

TASTE OF DEL MAR: 1pm–4pm $25 (advance purchase) $30 (day-of event)

Red Onion Relish 2 large red onions, thinly sliced ¼ cup of dark brown sugar 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 1 cup of red wine Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste In a large skillet, add onions and brown sugar, and cook over medium heat, uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently until onions are golden and caramelized.

Add vinegar and wine and bring to a bowl. Cook on low until liquid is absorbed. Season to taste. Serve warm or chilled.

Fact or fiction?

Today it is well known that onions, when consumed either cooked or

raw, are mighty warriors against assorted ailments.

Onions and other allium veggies, more than 600

species in all, contain a motherload of potassium, folate, Vitamins A, B6 and C, dietary fiber, and are particularly rich in odoriferous sulfur compounds with antimicrobial properties found to lower blood lipids and blood pressure.

Even the venerable World Health Organization touts onions for putting the skids on atherosclerosis and providing relief for treating coughs, colds, and bronchitis, and decreasing allergy-induced bronchial constriction in asthmatics.

The more pungent perfumed onions such as the Western Yellow, New York Bold and Northern Reds have the richest concentrations of flavonoids for antioxidant oomph found to be protective against stomach and other cancers. Attributed also to reducing inflammation and blood sugar levels, maybe an onion a day could keep the doctor away.

Worth a try?

Naysayers claim the above-noted story is apoc-

ryphal, an urban legend created for pure shock value, that there couldn’t be any truth to the onion as a “virus sponge” since a virus would not choose to leave a human host’s body and attach itself to a non-living onion where it could not replicate.

During flu season, try the experiment at home.

All you have to lose is a few onions. Buy a bag and concoct wonderful dishes with the rest — sauté onions in stir fries, blend in yoghurt dips, mince red ones in guacamole or seafood cocktails, bake a classic French onion soup, toss chunks in with roasted potatoes or stews, dial-up frittatas or quiches with onion rings, or whip up this batch of sweet and savory caramelized onion relish to enliven veggie or turkey burgers, sandwiches or a piece of chicken or fish.

‘Roots of reeds’ come to renovated Museum of Making Music

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Founded in 1998 by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), Carlsbad’s Museum of Making Music opened in March 2000, giving visitors a chance to interact with some of the instruments that helped shape American popular music. It welcomes 30,000 visitors a year, while offering a variety of workshops and concerts.

Recently closed for two months of renovation, the museum’s grand re-opening on Aug. 20 revealed a brighter, more spacious setting with more interactivity than ever, and found visitors of all ages exploring the exhibits and making music of their own.

“Our philosophy is allowing people to play real instruments, not dumbeddown versions,” said MoMM Education Manager Jillian Jepsen.

At the opening, volunteer Terry Chaffee was demoing a Loar mandolin, and giving quickie lessons to anyone in sight. “I love doing this,” he said. “I show folks a couple of chords and they’re on top of the world.”

The real highlight is the new Innovation Studio, where everyone can play ... and they do. Even if you

manage to resist trying out the instruments, you’ll be hooked by the “Global Spotlight,” a giant touch-sensitive digital map featuring the music of 15 countries — tap on a region, and you can hear its traditional music; another tap brings you a clip of contemporary sounds. More countries will be added as time goes by.

According to Jepsen, who was also project manager for the renovation, the map is a new concept, developed with Academy Studios, a design firm in Novato.

“We wanted to give visitors a glimpse of world music

in a contemporary way that was friendly to all ages,” she said. “We divided the music into two categories, Echo and Evolution, representing where music came from and where it has gone. I was really happy with how it turned out and visitors seem to really enjoy it.”

In conjunction with “Roots of Reeds,” a new temporary exhibit showcasing traditional reed instruments from the Middle and Far East and tracing their evolution into modern instruments, the museum will have a number of special events, featuring reed-playing virtuosos.

On Sept. 18, James Cotton, Grammy award-winning master of the blues harmonica, will perform with his long-time band member, guitar player/singer Tom Holland. Cotton, who has appeared with blues legends B.B. King and Muddy Waters, has been performing for more than 60 of his 76 years, and has been called “the greatest living blues harmonica player.”

There will be a reception before the concert, and art curator Tatiana Sizonenko will be available to talk and answer questions about the reeds exhibit.

Q&A continued from page B1 My father-in-law had been ill, and while he was in the hospital, someone sent him a few advance reading copies of some books. I figured those had to come from someone inside a publishing house. My husband made some phone calls, and learned that the daughter of some friends of my husband’s parents worked in advertising at Simon and Schuster. I had never met this woman, and she did not work in the editorial part of the house. But I thought she might work in the same building as the editors, and perhaps she could land “Goodnight, Irene” on top of the slush pile for me.

When my husband and I talked to her, she said she would be willing to take a look at it and ask editors to recommend agents that represented similar works. So I sent the manuscript to her.

When she received it, she started reading the first few pages, got hooked, took it home and finished reading it in one night. She brought it in to work the next day and gave it to the publisher with a glowing recommendation. Time passed (he was a busy man), but eventually he read it and liked it, and passed it along to an editor, who called me and offered me a three-book deal.

While the publisher had it, I was frantically looking through writing books for advice on what to do if someone said “yes” to your unsolicited, unagented manuscript. Most of the advice was on how to cope with rejection. I finally found what I was looking for in one of Lawrence Block’s books. If you wanted an agent, and the house was reputable, ask them for a list of agents. I did. I spoke with several of these agents and their clients, as well as editors who worked with them, and I found my agent in this way. Even though I later found other representation, I was much better off with an agent than I would have been on my own. I strongly urge anyone who is not an expert on negotiating literary contracts to work with an agent.

How would you describe your genre, and what drew you to it as a writer?

I write in more than one genre now, but most of my work has been in crime fiction. I was drawn to it because I loved reading mysteries, suspense, and thrillers.

From where do you get the inspiration for your novels?

September 15, 2011 Inspiration for novels and short stories comes from a wide variety of sources. Often, I find myself responding to a small piece of information that happens to come my way — something I’ve found in the course of research, said by a friend in casual conversation, or a news story. What happens is the mental equivalent of a dog lifting its ears up and tilting its head sideways when it hears a sound it wants to understand. I’ll have moments of hearing something I react to, and I ask myself what I’m reacting to and why.

What are the primary differences between writing stand- alone novels and writing a series?

For me, writing the Irene Kelly series has allowed me to show changes in Irene and other characters in her world — and in her relationships with them.

Some of these changes take place over a long period of time. It also allows me to show how the events of one book influence her in another. It has allowed readers get to know her in ways they rarely know the characters of stand-alone novels. A series also allows the writer to build a complex world for that character that may be revealed over many stories.

The series has allowed me to throw obstacles in her way that vary more than they could in a single book, to create situations that would never fit together in a single story.

But as a series grows, the world of the characters and who they are becomes more and more defined.

Irene cannot suddenly have the background of a CIA covert operative. Las Piernas cannot be in England. She cannot be 23 in a year when she has been 39. The stories center around a reporter in a Southern California community, so it is unlikely that the

President of the United States will call her asking for help in chapter 2.

Stand alones allow complete freedom when it comes to characters and the world they live in, as well as the stakes. I could not put Irene in the would Tyler Hawthorne inhabits in “The Messenger,” or even the world of the characters in “Nine.” That freedom can come with its own challenges, but I find it keeps things fresh to write outside of the series now and then.

How does a writer’s career shift once they reach the NY Times list?

That depends on the writer and how the writer’s publisher reacts to that. For me, and for most of my colleagues, it has been good for the business side of our careers. But it doesn’t come with a set of elves who will write the next one. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t realized that your blank page looks exactly like any other writer’s blank page — the thing you really need to focus on does not change.

How many successful books does it take for the average writer to be able to leave their day job?

Wouldn’t it be great if I could say, “Three,” and point to the Rule Book of Writing Success that declares How Writing Careers Work for Everyone? There is no rule about this — not even a general set of guidelines.

Books differ, contracts differ, publisher excitement is driven by forces that can’t be predicted by anything other than phrases that make new writers crazy (e.g., “Write an original and captivating book.”). Some writers can quit the day job based on the advance of their first book. Some hit that place after two or three. Some hit it after book 10. Many never hit it. I have friends who couldn’t leave their day job even after many years, then

suddenly hit it so big everyone in their family could quit their day jobs. I know of writers who got big advances on their first books who were never able to sell a thing after that. So this isn’t a question that can be answered with accuracy. The experience is individual.

I can say, though, that advances on first books for 95 percent of writers are nowhere near where they need to be to make a living.

No one should write solely as a means to quit a day job. This can only lead to unhappiness. Write because you love to write.

How do you deal with deadlines, and do you ever find them difficult?

A deadline only means that someone wants your work. I find nothing bad about that.

How has the publishing industry evolved over the years, and how has this evolution impacted writers?

Publishing is changing.

It has been constantly changing since Gutenberg first printed on a piece of paper using movable type.

While electronic publishing is driving much of what is changing now, publishing will be influenced by something else tomorrow. Writers should not let this distract them from what they must focus on. What matters most is what we put on the page.

Tell us about the Crime Lab Project – what it is and how you got involved.

The Crime Lab Project works to raise awareness of the need to improve forensic science in the U.S.. Despite what you see on television dramas, most American crime labs and medicolegal death investigation offices are understaffed, housed in inadequate facilities, and lacking the equipment they need. We’ve been failing to provide the support they

need for decades, and pay a price for ignoring them. A recent congressionally mandated report by the National Academy of Sciences found “serious deficiencies in the nation’s forensic science system” and called for “major reforms and new research.” Among the problems cited, it found “many forensic science labs are underfunded, understaffed, and have no effective oversight.”

As a result of our lack of support of forensic science, untested evidence stockpiles, often allowing the guilty to remain free, stalling investigations, delaying trials, and causing the innocent to be held unjustly. Murderers go undetected because medicolegal death investigators are untrained. We are affected in many other areas of life by forensic science — homeland security, disaster response, workplace safety, product safety, public health and more.

There is a need to ensure that forensic science services are provided by those who are properly educated and trained, that our labs are using proven scientific methods, and subject to the best quality control measures available.

You can learn more about the CLP at http://www. crimelabproject.com I founded the CLP after working with forensic scientists for the research in my books. There was a huge gap between public perception and reality — many people believed their local labs looked like the ones on CSI. Forensic scientists did not always feel free to call attention to problems facing their labs. So I called some writer friends, and we pledged to do all we could to get the word it. It grew from there.

What is the best advice you ever received as a writer?

Legendary music producer Bones Howe (husband of acclaimed mystery writer Melodie Johnson Howe) once gave a group of mystery writers some of the best writing advice ever. We were at a party and many of the writers were doing the kind of complaining that is common at such gatherings, standing around worrying about making bestseller lists, whining about an unpleasant writer’s undeserved success and so on. I was the newcomer, first book about to be published, and in awe of the rest of the company. So I was lucky that I saw Bones shake his head and heard him say to us, “Keep your head down.”

By that he meant, stay focused on your passion — writing the book. Don’t get caught up in the externals — the politics in the business, organizational in-fighting, other writers’ problems, the craziness, the envy, the whining.

Q&A continued from page B1 Don’t spend your time worrying over who’s getting paid what, who got a better cover, what the reviewers say (good or bad).

If you stay focused on writing, you’ll be fine.

I later learned the advice was part of his “Poor Bones Almanac,” as other music engineers called it.

It’s now online on his Website, with several of his other wise sayings.

What advice do you typically give to aspiring authors?

I often repeat the excellent advice Bones gave me all those years ago.

Visitors to my Website (http://www.janburke.com ) can go to the FAQ page and download a document with a few pages advice. [exact link is http://janburke.com/PDFs/Advice%20for%20Writers.pdf ] Three items taken from those pages: 1) Take an author to bed.

In other words, read, read, read. The best university for writing is on

the shelves of your local public library. Teach yourself to read like a writer — study how it’s done by reading.

2) Visit Writer Beware.

Writer Beware can be found at http://www.sfwa. org/for-authors/writer-beware It’s sponsored by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, but if you don’t write in those genres, don’t worry — the advice on this site should be read by every writer.

Writer Beware has won praise from many quarters and has the backing of other writers’ organizations. The advice on Writer Beware will help to protect you against some of the sharks that infest the publishing waters.

3) Be a lousy writer.

Go ahead, practice on the page. Be lousy. It’s okay. You’re learning a craft that is complex.

Don’t fret about being criticized or criticize yourself into paralysis. Let the fact that you will be able to revise free you to write your first draft.

Prudential Del Mar leads national market Prudential Real Estate Affiliates has announced that the Del Mar office ranked number two for sales production during the first two quarters of 2011, out of every Prudential Real Estate office in the Western region with 41 - 75 agents.

“Our success is a result of the caliber of representation our agents provide,” Herb Josepher, manager of the office, said. “I would like to thank the agents in my office for their constant focus on the priorities of our clients. Their professionalism and knowledge of real estate are second to none.”

Josepher also pointed out that Del Mar offers a relaxing coastal lifestyle and an idyllic climate. “The strength of our local market is an indication of the incredibly rich quality of life that is found in Del Mar,” added Josepher. “Nobody understands this better than the agents at the Del Mar office.

By sharing their vast understanding of the area for the benefit of their clients, they have established themselves as a valuable source of information for people interested in relocating, as well as for long-term residents.”

Backed by the advanced technology and innovative marketing campaigns provided by Prudential California Realty, a brokerage with in-house real estate attorneys and a highly trained administrative team, the agents at Prudential Del Mar provide a superior standard of service for buyers and sellers of real estate. Widely respected for their commitment to ethical business practices, they have built a solid reputation based on their ability to deliver seamless transactions and successful closings.

“I would like to congratulate Herb on what is shaping up to be another exceptional year,” says Jon Cook, president and CEO of Prudential. “He is a dynamic and resourceful leader with an impressive talent for management. He has an incredible sense of timing, in that he always seems to know when it’s time to step in and provide assistance, or when it’s time to step away from the transaction and trust in the experience and skills of his agents.”
