‘Main Street’ meeting Sept. 24 A community-wide forum will be held to discuss Kilroy Realty’s One Paseo project planned for El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road on Saturday, Sept. 24, at 9 a.m. The meeting, at Ocean Air School, will allow Kilroy to explain its project and community members to ask questions and make comments and suggestions. One Paseo is being called a “Main Street for Carmel Valley,” a mixed use project that will be about 1.7 million square feet and will require a community plan amendment, as it is currently entitled to only 500,000 square feet and zoned for office use. The project will include residential units, shops, restaurants, office buildings, a boutique hotel and a movie theater. To learn more about the project, visit onepaseo.com. Ocean Air Elementary School is located at 11444 Canter Heights Dr., San Diego, CA 92130.

Bomb scare stirs up DM No explosives found at L’Auberge BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer L’Auberge Del Mar, located at 1540 Camino Del Mar, was evacuated and streets were shut down for about five hours on Friday night, Sept. 2, following a bomb threat at the
resort hotel. San Diego County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said a call came in to L’Auberge just before 4 p.m. on Sept. 2 warning that a bomb would go off in two hours. As of 8 p.m. on Friday, Caldwell said there were no suspects, and she declined to provide more details about the call other than that the caller
seemed to be male. Sheriff’s authorities arrived and the hotel had already begun self-evacuation, with hotel guests and employees flooding into the streets, the beach and Seagrove Park. Harbor Police — the only nearby authorities equipped with bomb-sniffing dogs, See BOMB, Page 6

9/11: Former firefighter recalls the search for victims — including his colleagues
Duck and cover

Dan Noonan is a longtime resident of Carmel Valley and a former member of the New York City Fire Department. Below, he shares his experience searching for victims of the 9/11 attack. For more memories of 9/11, see page B20. For 9/11 anniversary events, see page 7. BY DAN NOONAN My phone rang at 5:55 a.m. on a promising September morning. I rolled over, fought through layers of sleep, silently cursed whoever it was calling at that ungodly hour, knowing it had to be family or friends from the East Coast — it was 8:55 in New York. “This better be good,” I grouched into the phone. “Put on the TV,” my brother Mike said from Florida. “Know what time it is?” “A jet just hit the World Trade Center.”

San Dieguito Watershed tests ‘better than most,’ according to Coastkeeper BY CLAIRE HARLN Staff Writer As part of the largest volunteer-based water quality monitoring program in the state, Coastkeeper tested waters recently and their results for the San Dieguito
Watershed show local oceans are in relatively good condition compared to other areas of San Diego. The San Dieguito Watershed includes Del Mar and stretches north to Solana Beach and east to State

Route 79. “The watershed shows some problems typical of urbanization, such as slightly elevated concentrations of some nutrients,” said Coastkeeper spokeswoman Nicole Lee. “This is typical
of irrigation of agricultural land or overwatering of lawns.” The local sites tested are downstream from agricultural land and gold courses, which could be the reason for the elevation in
nutrients, she said. However, she said, these levels are only slightly elevated, she said, and “mostly do not exceed the standards set in the San Diego region basin plan.” One particularly note-
worthy data point was in on the Del Dios Highway next to the fruit stand, she said. There, low levels of dissolved oxygen were recorded. The dissolved oxygen levels were 4.60 mg/L, See WATERSHED, Page 6

Anya Louise Bouzida, 11, and her brother Kenan Dylan Bouzida, 13, with their dad, Djamal Bouzida, at the top of Mount Whitney.
CV residents thrilled to reach peak Carmel Valley residents Anya Louise Bouzida, 11, and her brother Kenan Dylan Bouzida, 13, recently reached their goal of climbing to the top of Mount Whitney (on the boundary between California’s Inyo and Tulare counties) — the highest summit in the contiguous U.S. They were joined by their dad, Djamal Bouzida, and friends from San Francisco. “We started our hike from Horseshoe Meadow on Sunday, Aug. 21,” they said via email. “After an 8-mile hike past Cottonwood Pass, we spent the first night near an unnamed lake past Chicken Spring Lake. We had to ‘bushwack’ to get to it. The next day, we hiked down to Rock Creek, which we had to cross barefoot a few times and then up to our campsite below Guyot Pass. “On Tuesday, we got up pretty early with the goal of getting to Guitar Lake by day end. It was tedious but we made it. Wednesday was the big day where we would climb from Guitar Lake to Whitney and down to Trail Camp on the other side. What an exhausting day it was, but an incredible feeling of achievement. On Thursday was the easy day of hiking down to Whitney Portal and my dad treated us to a great hamburger, fries, and a drink. We had a feast. The food tasted wonderful after five days of oatmeal, hot chocolate, and dried food. We are coming back next year for sure, but most likely to explore a different portion of the JMT (John Muir Trail).”

BOMB continued from page 1 Caldwell said — underwent an hours-long search and investigation of the hotel. “Unless we hear a loud noise, all is well,” Caldwell said around 8 p.m., as the search continued. No explosives were found. During the investigation, authorities blocked off Camino Del Mar for several blocks surrounding L’Auberge, with many people unable to get to their homes or places of interest. Caldwell said train traffic was also stopped for the duration of the investigation. Some hotel guests milled around local businesses and some packed into Seagrove Park with many L’Auberge employees. Evacuees were later moved to the Powerhouse Community Center, where L’Auberge management brought in more than 30 pizzas, served guests coffee and tended to

Donald and Susan Gold were two of several hotel guests at the Powerhouse who were still wearing towels and swimsuits throughout the ordeal. The couple said they were interrupted during an afternoon swim, and weren’t able to grab any belongings. “I thought it was just a fire drill at first,” said Donald Gold, who was visiting from Los Angeles. “I had no idea it would take this long. When the helicopters started arriving I knew it was more serious.” Del Mar resident Ben Garner was at the beach when he noticed helicopters flying very low in the late afternoon. He said helicopter authorities spoke over a loud microphone, warning people at or heading to the hotel to move toward the water. Hotel guests were allowed to return to their rooms shortly after 9 p.m.

WATERSHED continued from page 1 and the basin plan standard is at least 5.0 mg/l. “This low level of oxygen in the water will stress aquatic organisms,” Lee said. According to Project Clean Water, an organization set up by the various storm water departments and other regulatory agencies, the San Dieguito River watershed is a drainage area of approximately 346 square miles in west-central San Diego County, including portions of the cities of Del Mar, Escondido, Poway, San
Diego and Solana Beach. “This rapid urbanization and development of the open space will cause more water quality problems if low impact development practices are not used. We will see some of the same problems as the Los Peñasquitos watershed has seen due to the rapid growth of the Carmel Valley area.” Lee said. But in regard to recent testing in the San Dieguito Watershed: “In comparison to other watersheds in San Diego, I would say it is in good health,” Lee said.

CV athlete completes another summer of open water swims BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Carmel Valley open water swimmer Barbara Held has put together another amazing summer of swimming. This summer she swam the 28.5-mile Manhattan Island Marathon, the Strait of Gibraltar and swam a leg of a relay across the English Channel. “It was a great summer, building my vacation around the swims,” said Held. “It was awesome.” Held’s accomplishments are fresh off last year’s when, at 56, she broke the record for the oldest woman to swim the Catalina Channel from the island to the mainland. She completed the swim in nine hours, 36 minutes and 53 seconds. Last year Held completed swims in Maui and South Africa, and did a 24-miler across Tampa Bay in April 2011, but the New York swim was the longest she has ever done. The Manhattan race has swimmers taking a course through the East River, the Harlem River and the Hudson. “It’s a great swim, you’re seeing New York from a very different perspective,” said
Held, noting the course had her swimming under great bridges, past the Empire State Building, past Yankee Stadium and other NYC landmarks. On June 18, she completed the New York swim in eight hours, 12 minutes and 29 seconds, and was the 12th person out of the water and third female. In preparation for her swims, the retired firefighter/ paramedic swims year-round with the La Jolla Cove Swim Club. This year she had training for New York by way of the Tampa Bay swim and a trip to Hawaii. She managed to be in Hawaii at the time of the tsunami from the Japan earthquake so she could not get in the water as much as she’d liked—she only got in 41 miles when she’d hoped to hit 50. After June 18’s race, Held traveled from New York to London and spent a few weeks touring England, Wales, Madrid and Portugal before heading to Tarifa, Spain, the start point for the Gibraltar swim. She waited for the wind to be in her favor on July 31 to take on the 12-mile swim on her own. She completed the swim
Barbara Held with her crew for the Strait of Gibraltar swim
Barbara Held midswim in three hours, 17 minutes, making her the fastest American woman to swim the strait and the second fastest woman in the world. “It was spectacular conditions, everything was in my favor: great winds, currents and I got to swim in a straight line,” Held said. “All the stars aligned for me that day.” The start and finish of
the race are in the water as she did not have a Visa to enter Morocco on the other end of the strait. As it is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world and only 10 miles wide, Held shared the strait with huge shipping boats. From Spain she went back to England to meet up with her Channel swim teammates. The team, who
named themselves “Foireann Snamh Garabaldi,” included two San Diegans, Sabrina Buselt and Joel Barnett, and three swimmers from Ireland, Catherine Sheridan, Kevin Williams and Fionnuala Walsh. Held was the oldest swimmer in the group. “Swimming the English Channel is very weather driven,” Held said, noting authorities will not let swimmers do it unless the conditions are right. Her group was scheduled for the Wednesday, Aug. 10, tide, but they were told it would have to be pushed to that Friday due to the weather. However, it wasn’t certain because the weather was forecast to be just as bad that day. The group was disappointed and the Irish swimmers headed to the airport but turned around halfway when Held and the others received the final word that they would be allowed to go on Friday morning. “We swam in terrible conditions, force five winds,” Held said. “It was the choppiest water I’ve ever been in, it was awful. We were all seasick on the boat but it went away when you got in the
water.” The group completed the swim in 13 hours and 52 minutes, each swimmer doing an hour and then rotating. Held swam three legs of the relay, nine miles of the 22-mile crossing. Held’s summer of swimming took her to seven countries — while she wasn’t able to go into Morocco that day of the strait swim, she did take a ferry to Tangiers the next day and toured around and rode a camel. Training swims in places like a Liverpool dock where the water was filthy and houseboats floated nearby made her appreciate her slice of paradise with the La Jolla Cove. Held loves swimming these open water stretches all over the world, but admits that it is a very, very expensive hobby. Just to pay for the boat in Gibraltar was $2,500 and the average English Channel swim is about $10,000 when all is said and done, with travel and accommodations. Held plans to swim the channel solo next August and will then take a rest for awhile — unless she wins the lottery, she jokes.

Local residents help bring food, medicine to East Africa BY JOE TASH Contributor The map compiled by the U.S. Agency for International Development tells the story at a glance: large swaths of Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are colored in pink and red, colors which represent extreme food shortages and famine. San Diego-based International Relief Teams is working with relief agencies from around the world to rush food and medicine to the afflicted region of East Africa with the help of donors across the country, including many from North County. “I hope people will support the Horn of Africa famine relief. This is a situation that’s not going to go away any time soon and so many lives are at stake,” said Barry La Forgia, executive director and founder of the IRT. “We’re trying to keep people alive,” he said. Since the crisis began, the IRT has shipped more than $3 million worth of drugs, such as antibiotics and medications to fight diarrhea and malaria, along with 36,000 high-nutrition “Plumpy’nut” bars to feed starving people. La Forgia founded the
Dr. Joe Zwass teaches neonatal resuscitation to a select group of Vietnamese doctors and nurses at the Hung Vuong Hospital in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). IRT in 1988 and the nonprofit organization has four key missions: disaster relief in the United States and abroad; medical training in developing countries; medical and surgical outreach missions; and health promotion, which can include everything from programs to provide clean water to efforts to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. In some cases, IRT sends teams of volunteers out to help with disaster relief, provide medical care to the poor or train doctors and
nurses in the latest medical techniques. In others, such as the Horn of Africa relief effort, IRT works with “organizations that already have boots on the ground,” said Kay Gilbert, a Solana Beach resident and chairwoman of IRT’s board of directors. Gilbert works as a midwife at Kaiser Hospital in San Diego, and also teaches at San Diego State University. She became involved with IRT in the late 1990s when she joined a team that taught modern obstetrical methods in Latvia, a former
Soviet satellite. Gilbert traveled to Latvia twice a year for five years, and was gratified to see infant mortality rates decline during that period. “It was the highlight of my professional career,” she said of her missions to Latvia. After completing the Latvia project, Gilbert said, she continued her involvement with IRT and joined the board two years ago. “I’m very proud to be involved with the organization,” she said. Her sentiments were echoed by Josef Zwass, a pediatrician who lives in Del Mar. Zwass has participated in both teaching and clinical trips to countries such as Latvia and Vietnam. IRT’s goal is to provide instruction and training materials to professionals in developing nations, who can in turn train other providers. Zwass said he volunteers with IRT “both to give back to the community and to the world. I get personal satisfaction doing volunteer work, especially teaching. It leaves a lasting legacy behind.” Rancho Santa Fe businessman Tony Carr said he first learned of IRT’s work af-

According to La Forgia, IRT receives between $1 million and $2 million in donations each year, and more than 98 percent of the money goes directly into programs. Carr said he became a regular donor to IRT, and also volunteered with a team that rebuilt homes in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. “It’s real, it’s credible, he is what he appears to be, he’s a legitimate guy,” said Carr of IRT and La Forgia. ““And I’ve been there on See AFRICA, page 15

Local runners on La Jolla Country Day’s cross country team ready to shine at state BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer La Jolla Country Day’s boys cross country team has unfinished business. Last year, for the fifth year in a row, the team won the CIF, conference and league championships in Division IV, earning them a trip to the California CIF Cross Country State Championships. But it was a frustrating meet— top runner Noah Wolfenzon went down with an injury and they finished 15th. There’s a nagging feeling among them that they didn’t get as far as they could have and a growing confidence that this could be the year they take home a significant trophy. “We want to make a name for ourselves at the state level. This team is by far the most prepared to do that,” said senior Jake Mack. “They’re ready,” said Coach Scott Sanders, LJCD’s cross country coach for the last 13 years. Sanders has overseen 10 championship seasons. “I would love just to see everyone run their best race (at states). And hopefully that means there’s a podium in our future.” The swift squad is ranked fifth in the state, with
six guys returning from last year’s run at state championships. This year they aim to finish third or fifth in the state and get five guys in the top 10. La Jolla Country Day’s top seven includes seniors Jake and Noah, junior Jeff Clancy, sophomore David Castillejos, all from Carmel Valley; junior Ariel Smotrich, a junior from Fairbanks Ranch; Darin Wong, a sophomore from Sorrento Valley; and J.J. Juarez-Uribe, a junior from Chula Vista. That number five ranking is a factor of a few things — Darin says it’s perseverance, Ariel says it’s their work ethic and that they “run hard day in and day out.” But it also may be the brotherhood created by running in a pack together for two hours most days. They have their fun sides (believing their postrace horchata has super-human powers and growing rat tails or attempting to grow mustaches for race days), but they also push each other. Jake said there have also been two constants in Country Day’s winning ways: the solid values instilled in them by the school itself and their coach.

Adagio-Ballet Series
Thursday, September 15th Artist Bio John Asaro’s recent paintings capture the life force behind dance, his main focus of the series 100 Dancers. With brilliant fauve colors, his admiration for dancers and their dedication is reflected in his own dedication to capturing the lines and forms of the graceful ballerinas. He follows them from classroom to stage in various poses of relaxation, performance, contemplation, and even the pain that comes with such passion. On stage or in the classroom, the costumes and lighting are constantly shifting, creating delicate tension between the artists and their environment. Always listening to the orchestral arrangements as he paints, Asaro’s inspired works are imbued with music. He occasionally finds himself of the same ilk, and dances around his studio, paintbrush in hand with his patient cat as a partner. It’s easy to give yourself up to the captivating essence of dance; John Asaro certainly has.
On their own, the team organized summer workouts to prep for the upcoming season. Since July 4, they’ve been running optional training sessions that each runner has accepted as mandatory to reach their high goals. “I know the work they’ve done this summer has gotten them ready for this season,” said Sanders. “It’s clear that Darin (the youngest of the top seven) has been working this summer to make varsity. He’s gunning for that spot.” The boys’ favorite spot to run was the Los Penasquitos Canyon, washed down with burritos at Nico’s Taco Shop in Piazza Carmel. They’d also hit Mission Bay Park, logging heavy mileage and staying off concrete to save their knees and ankles. Jake estimates they ran up to 50 miles most weeks over the summer. Cross country is a long season, from summer through late November if all goes well—long months of tired, thirsty and hungry miles. The boys will tackle their first race this Saturday, Sept. 10, at the Bronco Round-Up at Rancho Bernardo High. The team’s favorite course is Mt. Sac, which they
will race in October. “I love the down hills,” gushed David. “You fly,” remarked Ariel. Of course, downhills couldn’t happen without uphills, which also makes Mt. Sac the most challenging course they run during the season. Jake said in addition to the steep uphills, it’s also “hot, dusty, dry and crowded.” Despite its toughness, it remains their favorite meet because it features the best competition and if it hasn’t been made clear, these guys like to compete. This early in September, the team has not yet come to terms with what it will be like without captains Jake and Noah next year. “Both Jake and Noah have been role models for the rest us,” Jeff said, As for Jake, he’s confident that the cross country team’s tradition of winning will continue. “I think these guys are ready to win at least another five CIF championships,” Jake said, prompting his friends to laugh at his fuzzy math. “I don’t want to be here that long,” quipped junior Ariel.

Sage Canyon students raise funds Tenor Aleksandr Agamirzov to perform at for Helen Woodward Animal Center the Carmel Valley Library on Sept. 14 BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Through selling baked goods and creating their own read-a-thon fundraiser, 11-year-olds Gaby Harrison and Caitlin Campbell were able to raise $322 for the Helen Woodward Animal Center this summer. “It felt really good to think ‘I just helped an animal center,’� said Gaby. “I thought, ‘I can do quite a bit if I can do this.’� “I feel proud and good inside to help animals that needed it — it probably helped them find good homes or get better toys, softer beds or good food,� said Caitlin. In addition to their cash donations, they also donated blankets for the animals. The Sage Canyon sixth graders were inspired after Gaby attended a “Believe In She� camp where she learned about being a leader and helping others. “I really love animals so I wanted to help the Helen Woodward Animal Center,� Gaby said. When Gaby discovered she had to be 14 to volunteer at the center, she started thinking of another way she could help, recruiting her friend Caitlin. “I come over to play a lot, I live just down the street, so we talked about it and decided what we wanted to do,� Caitlin said. “We wanted to do too many things, according to our parents,� Gaby said of their ideas for selling baked goods door to door, the read-a-thon and maybe walking dogs. Dad Philip Harrison admits that the parents were
Carmel Valley’s Gaby Harrison and Caitlin Campbell sold baked goods door to door to raise money for the Helen Woodward Animal Center. skeptical and a bit discouraging. They were unsure about the girls going door to door and worried that their goals were maybe too high. “I was very impressed,� said Harrison. “They just ignored us and plowed forward.� Caitlin, a good little baker, had some tasty recipes for blueberry muffins, chocolate chip cookies and “really gooey� marshmallow and butterscotch brownies. They whipped them up and sold them at a Harrison house garage sale in addition to going door to door. “Most people knew us and they said ‘Oh that’s so
cool,’� Gaby said of their door-to-door salesman career. People were generous, while the treats were only 10-25 cents, some dropped in $5 and only took one cookie. For three weeks they also got busy reading — the read-a-thon had people pledge money for every 100 pages read or a book about animals. Each girl was awarded leaves on the Helen Woodward’s donor tree, which they can use to honor family pets. After their first successful fundraiser, the pair are already thinking about what they can do next summer.
September’s free family music program sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be presented on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. in the library’s community room. It will feature tenor Aleksandr Agamirzov who Aleksandr Agamirzov will perform arias and songs by Anton Arensky, Bach-Gounod, Nicolas Brodzky, Luigi Denza, Maurice Jarre, Franz Lehar, Mitch Leigh, Rugiero Leoncavallo, Giacomo Puccini, and Pablo Sorozabal. He will be accompanied by pianist Irina Bessonova. The program will last 45 minutes. Aleksandr Agamirzov received a MA in vocal performance and vocal pedagogue from the Glinka Conservatory of Music in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, and a BA in piano pedagogue and choir conductor from the Institute of Performing Arts in Krasnodar, Russia. He started his operatic career as a leading tenor with Kaunas Musical Theater and Vilnus Opera House in Lithuania. He is known for his powerful voice and intelligent acting as Alfredo in Verdi’s La Traviata, Kanio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, Pinkerton in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Eric in Wagner’s Der Fliengende Hollander, and many other roles with opera companies in Latvia, Germany, Finland, Spain, Netherlands, and Russia. Since 1996 he has appeared as a soloist with orchestras, oratorio societies, and
chamber music ensembles in California, including the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, San Diego Spreckels Organ Society, California Foundation for International Global Arts, Los Angeles-St. Petersburg Folk Irina Bessonova Orchestra, Hemet Concert Association, Fresno International Music Society, and San Diego Opera. He is presently the leading tenor at St. John’s Episcopal Church and serves as a voice teacher at the Bates Music & Tutoring Center. Irina Bessonova was born in Russia and began studying music at age of 4 at the National Music School for Gifted Children. She graduated from Kiev State Conservatory with a master of arts degree in piano, ensemble performance, accompaniment, and piano pedagogy. She taught at the Gliere College of Music in Kiev for 15 years where she was also its leading accompanist. During this period she performed throughout Europe, Russia, and Ukraine. In 2002 she moved to San Diego and has continued her career as a piano soloist, accompanist, and teacher. She performs regularly in San Diego and Los Angeles.

switched on the TV. I watched the thick smoke billow from the north tower and calculated the number of firefighters that would be in that building; considered the time of day, the city’s traffic conditions, the weather, first-through fifth-alarm assignments. The incident commander would probably transmit additional alarms. There would be hundreds of firefighters climbing the structure’s stairwells. I imagined that members of my former company would be there — I feared for them. Fighting a typical high-rise fire was dangerous enough, but by the look of it, this promised to be the mother of them all. My wife joined me a few minutes later just as a second jet, United flight 175, hit the south tower. And then the news commentators and paid military experts began to speculate that the plane crashes were no accident; the United States was being attacked. I used the remote to surf from news station to news station and paused when I heard a talking head say; “. . . the Pentagon was just struck by another plane. We are at war.” I thought of my girls, still asleep in their beds; one in Torrey Pines High School and the other attended Carmel Valley Middle School. At 9:59 EST the south tower collapsed and I sprang to my feet, tried to scream, but I couldn’t; my throat was constricted. “My God,” I said to my wife. “There had to be people in that building.” We watched in stunned silence as, at 10:28 a.m., the north tower collapsed. I reached for the phone, dialed my former firehouse. All phone lines were dead. I tried an 800 number. “Who’re you calling.” My wife handed me a cup of coffee. “The airlines.” I pointed to the TV. “I’ve gotta get back to the Firehouse.” It took me three grueling days to reach Newark Airport. Another hour before I walked into my former firehouse, Engine 33 & Ladder 9, located on Great Jones Street in Lower Manhattan. My heart sank when I discovered
that 10 of our men were among the hundreds of firefighters unaccounted for. I spent a few days at the World Trade Center site —“the pile”— dealing with the city’s systemic sadness, my own grief, and digging alongside my fellow firefighters for survivors. We found none. Like everyone else, I was sickened by the things I saw. Shocked by the sheer volume of lost life. Eventually a desire to seek revenge on those responsible for the cowardly attacks replaced my sadness. We dug and tunneled through the debris for days and found nothing, with the exception of parts from an airplane wing. I had been to a 1,000 fires working in the Fort Apache section of the South Bronx, yet, I never had tasted any smoke like that on the “pile.” I commented to a Federal Agent next to me about the foul taste. His response was that we were breathing in the pulverized cells of thousands of victims. To this date, some 1,156 victims have yet to be identified, including 121 NYC firefighters. The day before heading back to my family in San Diego, my mind and body exhausted, my throat raw from inhaling the burning debris, I attended a mass of remembrance at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The burial of 343 of my colleagues of FDNY had begun. We were burying 30- 50 a week. I had contributed to my limitations, as all others had. We were all fearful that eventually we would find our entombed comrades and they had written: Day 3 Hanging on, Day Four: Where are you guys etc… The efforts of the FDNY and those who came to assist us where Herculean. Back to Lindbergh Field and onto Carmel Valley to see my family, have a brew and sit in the yard and see if I could count 343 stars.

Letters/Opinion: Short-sighted freeway planning — again Here we go again, solving another yesterday problem with a yesterday solution — widening freeways. It is very frustrating to see how short-sighted our transportation planning processes are. The latest egregious lapse in strategic planning is about-to-be finalized with the North County I-5 widening project. Eight, plus four, plus three new lanes. It is a very reactive response to the growing frustration of grid-locked drivers, but it clearly misses a logical opportunity to anticipate future needs and remedies. For the next several years our driving lives will suffer
through construction of these new lanes. Okay, I concede that for a brief period this widening will provide some relief. But if we already know we are going to have our lives disrupted for so long, why are they not using this period to lay the groundwork for a rail line for the rapid transit system that will surely be required in the future? Numerous other metropolitan areas here and abroad are already installing the infrastructure for rapid rail of the future. Even LA is reviving its rapid rail system. Why is it that the San Diego region is chronically unable to learn from the mistakes
EMERSON’S CORNER and successes of other urban regions? I will wager that within the next decade I will BUD EMERSON be writing Del Mar resident an “I told you so” column as they tear up I-5 for another multi-year construction project to install rails for a rapid transit system.

Education Matters/Opinion Depriving our children of 9/11’s vital lessons BY MARSHA SUTTON Those of us out of high school will never forget Sept. 11, 2001. But what of those 18 years and under, who were at most 8 years old on that tragic day? What of the children who were babies or not yet born? How do we teach them about 9/11? An article in the Aug. 31 issue of Education Week discusses how states and school districts approach the teaching of 9/11 to children in grades K-12, and the answer is that Marsha Sutton most don’t. Two scholars – Diana E. Hess of the University of Wisconsin Madison and Jeremy D. Stoddard of the College of William and Mary – examined each state’s standards and how 9/11 is incorporated into high school social studies curricula. Their findings, according to the article, show that two states of the 50 have not even revised content standards since 2001, and California is one of the two (Montana is the other). Of the 48 states and the District of Columbia that have revised standards in the last 10 years, 20 specifically mention 9/11, 15 mention terrorism or an aspect of the war on terror, and 14 fail to mention 9/11 or terrorism. From the article: “It is, for better or worse, one of the defining moments of contemporary history,” said Clifford Chanin, the acting education director for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York City, which has developed many resources for schools. “I think it is essential that the event be studied and understood. ... It’s now a factor in what the world has become and what it will become. You’ve got to prepare students for some relationship with 9/11 and its consequences.” New world-history standards in Texas, according to the article, “call for studying the ‘development of radical Islamic fundamentalism and the subsequent use of terrorism by some of its adherents.’ New Jersey’s standards say students should ‘analyze the reasons for terrorism and the impact that terrorism has had on individuals and government policies.’” But far too few states address the issue in any serious depth, and many not at all. Robert A. Watterson, West Virginia University assistant professor of social studies, identified in the story three primary reasons why the topic is not fully covered in schools: “inadequate time in an already-crowded curriculum, teachers’ feelings of being ill-prepared to probe the complex issues, and fear among some teachers and administrators of taking on matters with the potential to generate classroom conflict and upset parents.” So how do we teach about this pivotal event in recent American history, one that shattered our sense of security and invincibility, redefined people’s views of the world, and changed the political landscape forever?
On this 10th anniversary, schools will not even have an opportunity to ask students to remember the event, pay tribute to the dead, and honor our country, since the day falls on a Sunday. Perhaps we may see a memorial observance here or there in schools on Sept. 9 or Sept. 12, but without lessons taught in classrooms, we risk losing the chance to inspire our youth with the patriotism, heroism and respect for fellow citizens the 9/11 attacks generated. Moreover, 9/11 lessons mean engaging in deep thought and extended discussions about religious dogma, revolutions, geopolitical challenges and the causes behind the attacks and their profound implications locally and globally. These are conversations we must have with our children, if we are serious about helping them become world citizens. When state standards keep teachers too busy to make room for issues of such magnitude, we have lost sight of the point of teaching. When we are afraid to discuss complex, heated topics over worries of offending segments of our society, we have given in to fear. Because all the terrorists on 9/11 were Muslim, how do we teach our kids that not all Muslims are terrorists? What is the relationship between U.S. foreign policy and an antiAmerican climate in parts of the world? How has the pervasiveness of Western culture and values affected more conservative countries ruled by regimes guided by religious doctrine? And a
will not add appreciably to the construction time. But in a few years it will again be a major disruption. This is not the first failure of transportation logic in our region. How in the world did we allow the Coaster to zip right by the airport to downtown, requiring a taxi to get us back? How did we miss making a connection to UCSD where thousands of students could make good use of it. Why are we doubling down on double tracking railbeds along the fragile coastline when most cities are tracking their systems along freeway rights of way? The main reason why
rapid transit is not utilized by more riders is that the tracks don’t follow the logical trails and patterns of work and human activity. We only have to watch where the cars go to see how to construct a transit system that will become a more attractive alternative. The basic bones of the system of the future are along our interstate highway routes, I-5, I-15, I-8, and I-805.

thousand other questions. Besides all these infinitely difficult issues, perhaps most of all kids should know how the horrific 9/11 attacks brought Americans together, united with a sense of pride, honor and determination. The tragedy of 9/11 should be not only a mournful occasion of loss and remembrance, but also an opportunity to celebrate the accident of birth that allows all of us to live freely under our unique American system of democracy. We must find ways to teach this to our children. Marsha Sutton can be reached at: SuttComm@san.rr.com
Stimulus money intended for others When the recession first hit, I would drive my kids to school and we would pass a middle-aged man on a street corner. He was shaven, dressed neatly and held a sign that simply said “I need a job.” That Jim Peabody and his fellow teachers would take the stimulus money intended to help people like that man and instead greedily bonus themselves turns my stomach.

AFRICA continued from page 9 the ground, I’ve seen it, it’s not just a flyer that I’m getting in the mail.” This year, Carr and his wife, through their company, are co-sponsors of IRT’s annual fundraising gala, which will be held Oct. 22 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel. La Forgia, 65, was an Air Force pilot who flew 102 missions during the Vietnam War. He returned to San Diego after his military service and attended to law school, and practiced business law for 12 years before founding IRT. He said the group will continue raising funds for the Horn of Africa crisis, with the goal of sending another 100,000 of the Plumpy’nut bars to famine victims. The bars, made of peanuts, powdered milk, sugar and a vitamin mixture, can be eaten by children and adults and require no preparation, La Forgia said. Through contacts in
the nonprofit community both in the United States and overseas, La Forgia said, the group can leverage its cash to buy large quantities of food and medicine for famine victims. He said a $34,000 investment resulted in a shipment of $3.4 million worth of drugs to Africa, most of which were donated by pharmaceutical companies. IRT is working with groups stationed at refugee camps along the Somali border, because conflict within the country makes it too dangerous for relief workers, La Forgia said. The famine was triggered by a drought that has struck the area over the past several years, killing crops and livestock. “These people don’t have any savings to fall back on. They pretty much are living at the mercy of the elements,” La Forgia said. To find out more information about IRT or to support its efforts in Africa and elsewhere, visit www. irteams.org.

2011 RSF Summer Classic Soccer Tournament Finalists The Del Mar Sharks Girls U14 team recently competed in the 2011 Rancho Santa Fe Summer Classic Soccer Tournament and came away as tournament finalists. Over the Aug. 20-21 weekend the Sharks played three very tough teams in order to secure a place to play for the championship trophy. Each game was played with the desire to make it to the finals. This is where the Sharks displayed the hearts of champions — allowing them to progress to the championship game. For the championship game they once again faced the Carlsbad Lightening team only to lose 2-0, however, the girls worked very hard to come away with finalist medals. The Sharks once again counted on teamwork and their determination by playing an unrelenting offensive, strong midfield and stingy defensive game. Coach Corey Harvey credited the team’s success to their commitment to working hard at practices, their execution of his game plans, and their “never quit” attitude and most of all to their team spirit….Way to go girls!

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Football: Cathedral Catholic last season lost its season opener to Steele Canyon, a defeat that started a stunning three-game slide for the perennial San Diego Section power. The Dons exacted a measure of revenge with a resounding 27-7 victory over Steele Canyon in a nonleague opener for both teams on Sept. 2. The Dons went on to win their fourth consecutive San Diego Section Div. III title last season after losing to Steele Canyon 35-12 in their opener. Their three-game losing streak followed an amazing run in which the Dons had won 34 of their last 35 games going back to 2007. Tony Johnson rushed for 108 yards with one touchdown on 20 carries to lead the Dons, and JJ Stavola gained 50 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries. Dons quarterback Garrett Bogart was 6 for 9 passing for 99 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. The Dons defense combined for four interceptions with Patrick Downing making two picks, one of which he returned 33 yards for a pivotal touchdown. The Dons took an early lead when Stavola scored on a 19-yard run early in the game,
and then Downing returned an interception for a touchdown on Spring Valley’s next possession, giving the Dons a 14-0 lead. Jake Terlozi led the Dons with 10 tackles, and Toshaun Poumele had nine tackles. Bryce Hageman and Alex Edwards Johnson each had one interception for the Dons. ***** Torrey Pines coach Scott Ashby believed that his team would eventually build on its best season in years after the Falcons went 10-2 and advanced the San Diego Section Div. I semifinals in 2010. But after heavy graduation losses, he just wasn’t sure how long it would take for his team to play up to the level it did last season. The early turns suggest the Falcons may be coming along faster than expected. Torrey Pines opened the season with a 35-7 dismantling of Colton in a nonleague game on Sept. 2. Billy Maggs led the Falcons, rushing for 127 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries. He was among four Falcons who scored rushing touchdowns. Andrew Fargo, Colin Brown and David Bagby were the others. Quarterback Andrew Perkins was an efficient 11 for 15 passing for 132 yards with no
touchdowns and no interceptions. Bagby’s scoring run from the 1 midway through the first quarter set the tone for the Falcons win. Jack Mitchell contributed field goals from 31 and 28 yards out. ***** San Diego Jewish Academy fell behind early, but the Lions rallied to defeat Milkin of Los Angeles 25-8 win the first ever “Bagel Bowl” on Sept. 1. The game was the first ever meeting between two sanctioned football teams representing Jewish high schools. Lions quarterback Micah Weinstein was 21 for 30 passing for 188 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Jeremy Danzig rushed for 70 yards on 11 carries, and Noam Baltinester gained 39 yards on 10 carries. Ethan Laser caught seven passes for 87 yards, and Adam Sloane had eight catches for 48 yards. Adam Sloane led the Lions with six tackles, and Weinstein had five tackles and one sack. Laser had two interceptions. ***** Santa Fe Christian lost to Westview 21-0 in a season opener for both teams on Sept. 2. The Eagles were led by Jarrod Watson-Lewis, who rushed for 92 yards on 11 carries.
Torrey Pines Pee Wee Falcons (D2) continue quest for Palomar Conference Pop Warner Championship BY BILL BUTLER CONTRIBUTOR The Torrey Pines Falcons defeated the Rancho Penasquitos Bandits 29-0 at Cathedral Catholic High School stadium on Sept. 3 in their second game of the season and remain in the hunt for the conference championship. In a game marred by several penalties and fumbles, the Falcons had too much offensive firepower and used a swarming defense in earning the victory. Zac Friedland scored four touchdowns and caught a pass in the end zone for a PAT to account for most of the Falcons’ points. Ryan Wells had two successful PAT kicks to earn the other four points. But the game was not a two-man show. Tyler Alexander and Beau Morgans each had a touchdown called back due to penalty. Quarterbacks Conner Whitton and Brandon Ray each directed the offense to touchdowns, and a swarming defense held the Bandits to only two first downs. Middle Guard Chase Whitton was credited with six “pancake blocks” to lead the Falcons in that category, while the linebacker corps of Louie Bickett, Jackie Plashkes, Mac Bingham, and Garth Erdossy met most runs at the line of scrimmage or in the Bandit backfield. Kevin Misak, Zac Friedland, and Gabe Gmyr aggressively defended the corners from their defensive end
positions. Bingham, Morgans, Ray, Alexander, and Gmyr all contributed key runs throughout the game. When the Bandits were forced to pass, the linebackers Plashkes and Erdossy, the safety, Beau Morgans, and cornerbacks Alexander, Ray, and Ryan Ramirez maintained tight coverage, limiting the Bandits to two pass completions for 11 yards. The interior linemen always are key to victory in football. The Falcons were led up front by Carson Linxwiler, Chase Whitton, Tanner Watkins, Carson Howard, Seth Friedman, Connor Nichols, Brian Driscoll, and Nick Zimmer. Most of these lineman played on both sides of the ball, opening holes for long runs on offense while sealing the line while on defense. Game recognitions went to: • Carson Howard, Offensive Player of the Game • Seth Friedman, Defensive Player of the Game • Zac Friedland, Falcon of the Game This was a nice team victory as the Falcons enter the heart of their season against the Murrieta Hawks at the Torrey Pines High School stadium at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Entrepreneur finds meaning in photography, rescuing outcast children in Ethiopia BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor After 25 entrepreneurial years producing and marketing video games, John Rowe, 59, retired several years ago to pursue his first love as a globe-trotting photographer of cultures in transition. He is also the recent co-founder of a nonprofit foundation dedicated to saving children marked for infanticide by tribes in Ethiopia. We interviewed Rowe on the patio of his spacious “man cave” photo studio next to his local home where he lives with his wife of 29 years, Regina (Reggie), their two college-attending children, Tyler and Kelly, and their two dogs, Gus, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Boomer, an aging Hungarian Vizsla. His studio says a lot about the man. It’s filled with African artifacts, camera equipment and large “on-the-wall” photos from his African journeys, some shot for National Geographic, and action murals of surfers riding huge waves in Tahiti, his favorite getaway. Casually dressed, physically-fit, whitehaired, and wearing round horn-rim glasses, Rowe looks like a man comfortable in his skin and delighted to be doing what he’s doing in this stage of his life. Normally, he avoids interviews. “In running companies,” he said, “I’ve always wanted to promote either products or people working for me, rather than myself.”
Lale Labuko and John Rowe But, on behalf of the Omo Child Foundation, he was willing to do whatever it takes to stop the ancient practice of killing children declared “Mingi” or “ritually polluted” by certain African tribes, including the Kara and Hamar tribes in the Omo Valley of southwest Ethiopia. Mingi children are thought to bring a curse on their village and as such are quietly marked for death by their tribal elders. The children are often drowned in the Omo River or left to die in the desert, Rowe said. Reasons for a child being declared Mingi, he said, include being born out of wedlock,

It’s nice to get them. I don’t do my work to get awards. The work is larger than I am,” McMurtry said. Hamlet is the character he most identifies with, he said, having played the role seven times. “My best Hamlet was my first Hamlet. As we get older, we think too much and get set in our ways.” McMurtry will star with Ken Ruta and Ray Reinhardt in San Diego’s premiere of “Heroes,” Oct. 19-Nov. 13 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach.
About ‘Heroes’ In the humor-filled tale of camaraderie, three World War I veterans pass their days in a military hospital by engaging in verbal battles of long-forgotten military campaigns, grumblings about the staff, and reflections on their lives. Tickets $29-$49 at (858) 481-1055, northcoastrep.org The three actors combined, have more than 165 years of stage experience. Of the casting, NCRT artistic director David Ellenstein said, “I am thrilled. This is what I wanted to do when I came here eight-anda-half years ago, to be able to work with people like that on plays like this. So it’s going to happen in the company’s 30th year!” In looking over his long career, McMurtry said he owes his big break to his mentor, Craig Noel, founding director of The Old Globe. Noel started its Shakespeare Festival and di-
rected more than 225 productions there. In 2007, President George W. Bush honored Noel with the National Medal of Arts Award. “He championed me,” McMurtry said. “He died last year at age 94, but he is a living legend in San Diego. He brought theater to San Diego.” McMurtry said he met Noel in Milwaukee in 1960. McMurtry was playing a bit part (no lines) in “Taming of the Shrew,” and Noel invited him to the Shakespeare Festival at The Old Globe with a scholarship of $500 per month. After receiving his check, McMurtry said he borrowed $250 to repay the theater, promising to make good on the balance. He discovered the money was his salary! “I was just a little scrub and happened to be at the right place at the right time,” McMurtry said. The actor hails from Detroit, Mich., where his dad, in tuxedo and top hat, worked as a tap dancer with his mom, an acrobatic dancer and choreographer. He said he read his favorite book, Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” in Mrs. Berry’s fifth-grade class. “I

loved the surprises, the wonder of something you don’t know is going to happen.” He has read it six times since. McMurtry worked at Walt Disney Studio as a commercial artist, then left to become a scenic designer and attend Los Angeles City College. In 1958, its Drama Chair, Jerry Blunt, encouraged him to enter the National Shakespeare Competition. By winning, McMurtry earned a scholarship to England’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
“I fell in love with Shakespeare,” he said. “Shakespeare is so generous. Nobody knows who Shakespeare, the man, is. He’s anonymous. He’s not political, his characters are. I think he chose to be anonymous.” McMurtry said he most enjoys Shakespeare’s onesyllable words, “In their simplicity, they’re so profound, not elaborate at all.” He said he still remembers when his teacher, John Barton, said, “Everything’s in the words and the words
only.” McMurtry encourages actors to study Hamlet’s speech to the players. “The biggest problem with actors, is putting a period where there is none,” he said. “When I accept a role, I imagine a character’s posture. The questions I ponder are: Why did the playwright write this play and what is he trying to say?” Watching McMurtry at rehearsals, the actor paces on stage, reading the script, and mumbling. Suddenly lines emerge from his booming voice. Ellenstein described McMurtry’s method as “creating the make believe” before expressing it outwardly. He likened the process to planting roots and waiting for blossoms. “We are dearest of friends,” Ellenstein said. “What a treasure Jon is for this town. He should be celebrated.” McMurtry was celebrated when San Diego County and the city of Vista proclaimed June 30, 2008 as “Jonathan McMurtry Day,” on his 71st birthday. He was performing his favorite readings from Shakespeare at the Moonlight Amphitheatre.

At Kitchen 1540, the chefs hope diners ‘surrender’ to the menu BY KELLEY CARLSON t’s not every restaurant where you see someone raising a “white flag” in surrender. Kitchen 1540 in L’Auberge Del Mar allows guests to control their dining experience — from the portions they consume to the areas in which they may meander. The White Flag menu is one of several unique ways patrons may choose how to eat. A patron puts their faith in the chef, who creates a number of dishes and pairs them with drinks, and the onslaught of food begins until he or she holds up the “white flag.” Then the person is assailed with desserts. For customers who prefer to order directly from the menu, there are sample and savor portions offered during dinner of plates, such as California White Rabbit, Barbecued Pig Tails or Hamachi, along with side dish options that include 1540 Cheese Fries, White Corn Grits and Crows Pass Squash. A sample is slightly smaller than a traditional appetizer, which allows guests to try several dishes. Savor is a little smaller than a traditional entree. “This allows each person to decide how they want to dine, and it can be different each time they return,” said executive chef Paul McCabe.

Organic Beet Salad with carmelized yogurt, Valdeon blue cheese, pistachio brittle and arugul Family-style dining is yet another option, portioned for parties of four. Choose from entrees such as May Ranch Natural Ribeye, Whole Roasted Tai Snapper or Kurobuta Pork Shoulder. A children’s menu is available for the younger set. Guests can enjoy these entrees and a number of others, along with desserts and cocktails, in several locations in the recently revamped restaurant.
Just inside the entrance is the wine bar, bathed in a soft yelloworange glow, where patrons can taste vintages from as far away as France and Australia or as close as California’s Central Coast. Soothing music played on the grand piano in the lobby can be heard Thursday through Saturday. Wander into the large dining room, with its white vaulted ceiling, and sit in a plush yellow chair near
the fireplace while watching the staff in action in the open presentation kitchen. The warm hues of the wall coverings and lighting are reminiscent of a sunset. The outdoor patio comes alive at night at Kitchen 1540, with hanging lanterns in blue, orange and green and a crackling fire pit. Customers can relax in booths or chairs near the waterfall, or enjoy privacy in one of several cabanas. Herbs and plants including Thai basil, arugula flowers, spinach berries, red ribbon sorrel, parsley, chive flowers and shiso are grown in the garden and used in many of the restaurant’s dishes. For private seating, there’s a wine-encased room featuring 10 purple satin chairs surrounding a rectangular wooden table. Weekends and the Del Mar racing season are the busiest at Kitchen 1540, but McCabe advises that a person can visit at any time and have a great experience. “Breakfast is very good, and I always order the Corned Beef Hash (and Eggs),” he said. For lunch, McCabe suggested ordering the Tossed Cobb Salad or the Lobster Salad. And for dinner? “I would recommend ordering the White Flag menu and let us cook for you,” he said.

2Good2B Bakery & Café garnering raves for delicious gluten-free food BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor When Mike Barbanti first started trying to make a gluten-free dessert that everyone would love, he discovered that the process wasn’t going to be a piece of cake. But after numerous tries, a cake is what he came up with – a lemon layer that he felt could hold its own against one made with wheat. “The true test would be to show up at a party and not tell anyone it was a wheat-free cake,” Barbanti said in a news release. “My friends can eat wheat and some of them are food snobs, and all of them are critics, so I knew I’d get honest feedback. I believed this cake was good, really good, but I never expected to hear

things like, ‘This is the best lemon cake I’ve ever had,’ and ‘I don’t really like lemon cake, but this is excellent.’ ” These days, Barbanti is co-owner of the gluten-free 2Good2B Bakery & Café with his business partner Diana Benedek. Before turning to this specialty type of food and collaborating in a business, Barbanti and Benedek both had plenty of experience cooking.

Barbanti said in an interview that while growing up, he helped his mom in the kitchen. She would often prepare “comfort-style food,” which was big at the time, in the 1970s. Barbanti continued to develop his passion over the years, and in the process became an addict of the Food Network. But in 2007, he was diagnosed with Celiac disease, a digestive condition that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. Those who suffer from Celiac disease can’t tolerate gluten, a protein in barley, wheat and rye. “Eating the gluten-free products that were available kept me from getting sick, but I was making my family and friends sick because I was complaining so much,” Barbanti said. “Something had to change.” So Barbanti began

tially, it was a side venture for him, but it grew in popularity. Benedek discovered Barbanti when ordering a cake for her son, who is physically unable to tolerate gluten. When she served the dessert at a party, there was a lot of positive feedback, and she became interested in Barbanti’s mission of providing gluten-free products that taste better than those made traditionally. Gluten-free items often taste sandy and gritty, she said in an interview. Also a self-described “foodie,” Benedek grew up with many ethnic influences — her grandfather was Turkish; father, Portugese; mother, French; and she is Brazilian. She lived many years in Europe and Quebec, Canada, and developed a special fondness for bread — especially French baguettes. Benedek said she would cook when not working — at one time, she had an international career in water/ wastewater treatment at SNC-Lavalin and ZENON Environmental Inc. Around the time she retired from her professional career, Benedek dedicated herself to preparing food, but that same year, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (long-term, bodywide pain and tenderness in the joins and tissues), herniated cervical disks, early Hashimoto’s disease (dysfunctional thyroid) and arthritis.

Enjoy dazzling styles at The Country Friends’ 56th annual Art of Fashion Runway Show Sept. 22
Girl Scouts collecting donations for Helen Woodward Animal Center In a world where neglected and abused animals are finally found, Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) proves to be an amazing place. That’s why Marisa Chang, Kiana Devereaux, and Maddy Sands (in photo above), Girl Scouts from Troop 1411 in Carmel Valley, decided to help the center for part of their Silver Award project. “I felt like we should just help a place that does so much for animals and the community,â€? claimed Maddy Sands. The center is a nonprofit organization which is all about saving injured or abandoned animals. This also includes animal education classes, therapeutic programs, and their AniMeals program for the elderly. Thousands of dogs, cats, and other animals are adopted from the center each year, but it takes a lot of time, hard work, and money to take care of each animal that comes through the center. With all the hard work and energy that is put into each animal there needs to be proper equipment and supplies for each of them. The community can help out HWAC by donating items that are needed to help the center run smoothly. That’s why Marisa, Kiana, and Maddy will be collecting necessities and other products that are needed for the Helen Woodward Animal Center. They will be at Del Mar Heights Elementary School (13555 Boquita Dr. Del Mar, CA 92014-3453) on: •Sunday, Sept. 11, from 4 -6 p.m. •Saturday, Sept. 17, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., •Sunday, Sept. 18, from 9 a.m.– noon, and •Sunday, Sept. 25, from 4 – 6 p.m. A wide variety of donations are needed. For a complete list, see this article at www.delmartimes.net and type in “Helen Woodward Animal Centerâ€? on the search file.
The Country Friends 56th Annual Art of Fashion Runway Show will be held on Thursday, Sept. 22, at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, from 10:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The Country Friends will partner once again with South Coast Plaza to bring the highly anticipated luncheon, fashion show, boutique shopping and wine tasting to Rancho Santa Fe and surrounding communities. This year’s event honors the late Luba Johnston, as well as Priscilla Webb, longtime members of The Country Friends, for their commitment to community. Proceeds from The Art of Fashion will benefit 28 charities, including Rady Children’s Heart Institute, Helen Woodward Animal Center, Promises2Kids, and the Burn Institute, to name a few. The Art of Fashion Runway Show is the largest single fundraiser for The Country Friends, the non-profit volunteer organization that has funded human care agencies throughout San Diego County for more than 50 years. The event will begin with luncheon on the lawn at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.

Sensational ‘Rocky Horror Show’ comes to Old Globe BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor For more than 35 years, “The Rocky Horror Picture” film or since 1973, Richard O’Brien’s stage production, “The Rocky Horror Show,” have each brought die-hard fans out of the woodwork to see these productions time and time again. Directed by Oanh Nguyen, The Old Globe will bring “The Rocky Horror Show” to San Diego, Sept. 1-Nov. 26. The outrageously funny and stylishly bizarre musical is about Brad (Kelsey Kurz) and Janet (Jeanna de Waal ) a young couple who have a flat in the middle of nowhere. They get help from Dr. Frank N. Furter, a mad scientist who reveals he’s a transvestite. Transported into a time warp,
Matt McGrath as Frank ‘N’ Furter and Jason Wooten as Riff Raff in Richard O’Brien’s ‘The Rocky Horror Show,’ directed by Oanh Nguyen. PHOTO: HENRY DIROCCO Brad and Janet get an introduction to a sexual revolution that opens a world of
surprises. Nguyen, a multi awardwining director, said he is
excited to helm “The Rocky Horror Show” and having directed some iconic musicals (including “The Who’s Tommy,” “Hair” and “Cabaret”) he seems the perfect fit. “This is a very interesting and relevant show, and I love the message behind it,” Nguyen said. “We’ve all been where some of these characters are at least once in our lives, so we’re happy when we find something we can relate to. I’ve done other big shows, but this is much larger in idea, and a little edgy. And no one in my other shows wore fishnet stockings!” Nguyen he thinks the show has remained vibrant generation after generation because of its overriding message about finding one’s self. “Yes, find yourself and flaunt it if you can. This story is about getting rid of any emotional baggage, being joyful and celebrating life. At its center is this antihero we all fall in love with and kind of feel a connection to.” When searching for a cast, Nguyen said he looked

for actors with amazing voices who were sexy in a different way. These include: Andrew Call (Eddie, Phantom), Sydney James Harcourt (Rocky), Nadine Isenegger (Columbia), Lauren Lim Jackson (Phantom), David Andrew Macdonald (Narrator, Dr. Scott), Anna Schnaitter (Phantom), Laura Shoop (Magenta), Kit Treece (Phantom) and Jason Wooten (Riff Raff). Matt McGrath plays Frank ‘N’ Furter, a master of disguise and madman who claims to have discovered the secret to life. The Globe’s creative team “is imperative to this production,” Nguyen said. Working magic are Donyale Werle (Scenic Design), Emily Rebholz (Costume Design), Rui Rita (Lighting), Kevin Kennedy (Sound), Aaron Rhyne (Projection) and Anjee Nero (Stage Manager). One of the biggest dance numbers in the show, “Time Warp,” has created its own pop culture following. This show’s choreography is by JT Horenstein with music direction by Mike Wilkins.

Playhouse’s WoW project stages theatrical experience in Botanic Garden BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor WoW! Thanks to La Jolla Playhouse, it’s not just an expletive anymore. It stands for Without Walls, a new program to bring theater beyond the confines of its buildings and into the world outside. As part of Arts Month San Diego, the Playhouse is kicking off the program with “Susurrus,” an audio play by Glasgow-based playwright David Leddy, whom the Sunday Times called “Scotland’s hottest, edgiest young playwright.” Leddy specializes in designing site-specific plays for unusual locations, like a graveyard, a greenhouse, or his own bedroom. The word susurrus means what it sounds like: whispering, murmurs, like the rustle of wind through trees. So it’s a perfect title for a play that takes you on a walk through San Diego Botanic Garden with an I-Pod, while voices softly speak, and sometimes sing, in your ears. Described as “part radio play, part avant-garde sonic art and part stroll in the park,” “Susurrus” weaves together bits of bird lore, memoir, and “A Midsummer
La Jolla Playhouse’s first ‘Without Walls’ production is ‘Susurrus,’ a haunting audioplay experience coming to San Diego Botanic Garden this month. Courtesy Night’s Dream” (both Shakespeare’s play and Benjamin Britten’s opera), creating a tale of love and loss that will move you emotionally and physically, whispering another world into being as it guides you on your way. It’s certainly a different kind of theater. There’s no stage, and no audience around you. You reserve your show time in advance, with no more than six people admitted every 15 min-
utes. You’re given a map and an I-Pod, and it’s a personal experience — just you and those voices, in a setting that keeps changing as you follow the mapped-out route. An award-winner at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival, “Sussurus” has already been presented in several English gardens, and public gardens in places like Boston, New Haven, and Ann Arbor. I’ve had a small preview and can
tell you: it is haunting. One of the highlights: the countertenor aria from Britten’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” It’s lucent. Ethereal. Definitely Wow. WoW is funded by a four-year, $900,000 grant from The James Irvine Foundation, and the Playhouse plans to commission a different production every six months or so, to be performed in parks, malls and other locations throughout
San Diego, culminating with a festival in Spring 2013. “Because of our weather, this is one of the friendliest places for site-specific art,” said Christopher Ashley, Playhouse artistic director. “As soon as we got the grant, we started looking for exciting new pieces, and our literary manager, Gabe Greene, found “Sussurus” in Columbus, Ohio. We all went to see it, and what was really exciting was the way what was planned and what was unplanned intersected, the way real life and art start to blur. Like the flock of birds that took off at just the right moment.” The grant enabled the Playhouse to bring the playwright here to find the perfect site. “We showed him several gardens and this was the one he loved, for the feeling of the place and how it related to his piece,” Ashley said. This is the West Coast premiere of “Susurrus,” the Playhouse’s first WoW event. There’s already a buzz, and tickets are going fast. Buy now, and stay tuned for more WoW news. Very soon, there will be word of Event No. 2.

Teens Korps Leadership Council member helps youth in Tanzania BY COLEMAN BAKER, KIDS KORPS MEMBER I went to Tanzania with Global Leadership Adventures for three weeks this summer. While there, I taught English to third grade students and also rebuilt the kitchen at the school, planted trees and helped with the upkeep of the garden at the school. I chose to go to Africa because I wanted to help people that are truly in need and deserve better opportunities. I learned a lot about the culture of Tanzania. The people there are warm and welcoming even though they have many problems, such as poverty and disease. I also learned a lot about the problems faced by that country and how I can help solve them.

Athenaeum lecture series takes you museum hopping through Europe Art historian James W. Grebl, Ph.D. will explore the history, architecture and collections of Europe’s preeminent art museums in a series of four illustrated lectures at the Athenauem Music & Arts Library, Sept. 22, 29, Oct. 6 and 13. The Thursday lectures start at 7:30 p.m. in the library’s music room, 1008 Wall St. The series is $40 for members; $60 non-members. Single lectures are $12-$17. Reservations at (858) 454-5872. • Sept. 22: The first program will look at the earliest art museums, which developed in Europe during the Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries. These museums originated with the private collections of antiquities, paintings, sculptures, tapestries and curiosities amassed by various popes and princes for their own enjoyment, but eventually were made available to the public. Among the early museums examined are Rome’s Capitoline and Vatican museums and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. • Sept. 29: This lecture examines several of the great national art museums, which began in the 17th and 18th centuries. Among these are the Louvre in Paris and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, both of which are examples of royal collections that were transformed by a succession of monarchs and eventually by popular revolutions into remarkable public institu-

The Vatican Museum in Rome tions, and the British Museum in London which grew from a modest bequest by the dilettante and physician Sir John Soane into the repository for the artistic treasures from around the globe. • Oct. 6: This presentation will explore a diverse group of national museums which began in the 19th century, including the Netherlands’ Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam with its collection of paintings by Rembrandt and other Dutch masters; Spain’s Prado Museum in Madrid, based on the former Spanish royal collections and containing an array of works by Velázquez, Goya, Titian, and Rubens; the sprawling group of galleries built on Museum Island in Germany’s capital of
Berlin, including archaeological treasures from Pergamon and Babylon; and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, built upon centuries of collecting by Austria’s Habsburg rulers. • Oct. 13: The final lecture will look at a number of museums founded or built in the 20th century, including France’s Musée d’Orsay, housed in a restored and adapted Paris train station, as well as several museums that are stunning examples of contemporary architecture. Among these is the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, whose undulating structure was designed by James Stirling, and Frank Gehry’s spectacular and controversial Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.

Cruising grocery aisles with culinary wish list The Kitchen Shrink

Oil and Lube The gold standard of oils is organic, extra virgin olive oil. This perfect blend of poly- and monounsaturated fats is a hearthealthy magic bullet that puts the skids on bad cholesterol while boosting the good kind. Have an oil change with white or black truffle oil – olive oil infused with these exotic fungi that imparts an earthy, mushroom essence to the oil. Truffle oil is concentrated and pungent, more of a flavor-enhancing finishing oil than a cooking oil, so use a light hand. Experiment by drizzling on steamed or grilled veggies, wild-caught salmon, shrimps or other seafood, omelets and frittatas, or warm it up and pour over your favorite greens for warm, wilted salads — the possibilities divine and endless. Be a Culture Vulture Organic yoghurt or kefir? Both these silky, milky beauties contain cultures giving a feeling of comfort and well-being. Yogurt’s beneficial bacteria keep the gut clean, and provide a buffet for friendly bacteria that live in the digestive tract. But kefir is a superfood containing strains of bacteria including Lactobacillus Caucasus and Leuconostoc that colonize the intestine. Kefir does a spring-cleaning in the gut, bolstering intestine’s performance by destroying harmful yeasts and keep-
the plants have taken a foothold. Forcing the roots to bore deep to hunt for water, this makes the plant concentrate on fruit production, creating a smaller, more flavorful tomato, with the added boon of conserving water. Dryfarmed tomatoes are best showcased in their pure, raw form in salads, salsas or solo, drizzled with truffle oil and a sprinkling of fresh basil leaves.

tions due to their favorable traits. These technicolors include emerald, golden zebra and violet. When in season, grab them for their beauty, flavor and cancer-fighting lycopene. But the true caviar of tomatoes is the dry-farmed version. Sugar sweet and ruby red, these beauts are found at farmerstands and natural markets for a brief season in September. They are grown with the environmentally smart method of “dry-farming” when irrigation is stopped once
Main Squeeze Meyer lemons are the ambrosia of citrus. A native of China, they are believed to be a hybrid cross of a common lemon and a mandarin or orange, making them pleasantly tart and juicy with a glabrous skin, perfect for zesting. Famed foodies Alice Waters and Martha Stewart put Meyers on the culinary map, and once you’ve tried them, you’ll be hooked, too.

TPHS junior and entrepreneur seems to be just about everywhere BY MEGAN MCVAY Intern Inside Sweet Things yogurt shop, Torrey Pines High School junior Jake Scornavacco is developing the marketing plan, calculating the payroll, and ordering the products as general manager. At frequent yogurt conventions around the state, he is sampling flavors such as huckleberry, grapefruit and maple bacon donut. In the back office, he is reminding his employees of the“two C’s�: customer service and cleanliness. And at Torrey Pines High, he is darting out of class five minutes early to set up a yogurt booth in the quad,
ready for students to pass by upon the final bell. When his father opened the shop in 2009, which now has locations in Rancho Bernardo and downtown San Diego, Jake was limited to the space behind the cash register. However, he quickly stepped up in the ranks and acquired more responsibilities. “When the general manager position opened up, my dad said, ‘Why don’t you apply and take it on? No one can stop you.’� His father was right. Jake’s extensive efforts have resulted in not only a thriving business, but also an expanding one. On May
Help Girl Scout donate to military on Sept. 11 Angelina Wang from Girl Scout Troop 1411 is currently working on her Silver Award Project by helping to support the military personnel who are serving overseas. To help support the brave soldiers, please come to Del Mar Heights Elementary school on Sept. 11 from 3:30-6 p.m. and donate items such as used books, beef jerky, and/or energy bars. All donations are sent to the military through Operation Gratitude, a Angelina Wang program located in Los Angeles that is dedicated to sending care packages to the military. On this very symbolic day, please come to help honor the brave soldiers and 9/11 victims.
31, after a seven-month lease process, the Scornavacco family was given approval to start building a second Sweet Things shop at the Hilton San Diego Bay Front Hotel. Jake’s workload more than doubled as he stepped in as the general contractor of the new store. During the summer, he spent mornings at the Rancho Bernardo location and afternoons at the San Diego location, often working 15-hour days. Not only did Jake spend weeks scouting out a new electrical contractor – he wants to surround himself with the “sharpest pencils,� he said — but he also oversaw
and scheduled at least 20 inspections, including health, electric, building, fire, mechanical and pluming inspections. “The most exciting moment was when we passed that final health inspection on July 25 because we knew we could finally open and that all the hours had been worth it,� Jake said. With two locations to manage and a complex marketing plan that requires constant offsite sales, it’s hard to say where you might run into Jake. But when you see him, always wearing a Sweet Things t-shirt, you can be sure he will be wearing a smile, too.

Girls World Expo to be held Sept. 24 Girls World Expo, a one-day event coming to Carlsbad on Sept. 24, is accepting applications from artisans, schools, businesses and others who want unprecedented access to the local marketplace of 11-18 girls. “This is a great opportunity for everyone from jewelry and T-shirt creators to local businesses and colleges,” said Girls World Expo’s AnnMarie Gabaldon. “They will have a chance to make one-on-one contact with hundreds of local girls who have come to Expo to learn, explore, and expand their horizons.” The Carlsbad GWE is one of a series of such events being held nationally, with a goal of providing engaging and inspiring content on everything from self-esteem and fashion to careers and online safety. The Carlsbad event will include workshops, demonstrations, an art show, a science fair, a runway fashion show, and many other events, as well as the robust Expo Marketplace where the girls will shop, look, and listen. “The girls who attend this event are influencers,” said Gabaldon. “What they like and what they wear and what they do becomes the choice of many of their peers. That’s why artists, schools and local businesses who exhibit at Expo report such positive long-term results from their participation.” The Carlsbad Girls World Expo will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 24 at the Carlsbad Sheraton hotel. The event expects to attract more than 500 local girls. Applications for vendor booths are available through Sept. 15 by e-mailing info@girlsworldexpo.com.

San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy to hold 25-year anniversary celebration at Rancho Valencia BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy began 25 years ago as a kitchen table conversation between about 10 Del Mar and Solana Beach residents who share a passion for protecting the local land, and it has since grown to more than 1,200 dedicated members. “Our members are not just environmentalists,” said Conservancy spokeswoman Sarah Hurd. “They come from backgrounds in law, real estate, accounting — people who not only want to provide recreation, but genuinely care about protecting the area.” On Sept. 25, current and prospective members, young and old, will convene at Ranch Valencia Resort and Spa for the 2nd Annual River Valley Fest — an event that will double as the organization’s 25th anniversary. There will be food, wine, music and tennis, as well as a chance to learn about the Conservancy and meet other mem-

bers — many of whom have been with the organization since its beginnings in 1986. Many people in the North and East Counties enjoy the San Dieguito River Park on a daily basis, but don’t realize what entity is behind it, said Hurd. The event is a good chance to support and learn about the Conservancy’s goals, which include buying land, protecting land, adding trails and providing education. There is also an ongoing effort to attract new members, especially those from younger generations who can bring fresh ideas and be involved for years to come.
People interested in donating to the organization can commit to anywhere from $35 to $1,000. There are also a number of volunteer opportunities, such as river valley clean-up — which kids love, Hurd said. To learn more about the Conservancy’s initiatives and accomplishments, visit www.sdrvc.org. To purchase tickets, visit www.sdrvc. org/rivervalleyfest.

Remembering Sept. 11, 2001continued...
The Bagel of Life: Memories of a foolish 9/11 onlooker BY DAVID NEPOMUCENO A baby’s faint cry kick-starts my day and I spring into action. It’s 6 a.m., and Noreen’s already up and about in the living room while 3-year old Kara’s still in dreamland. I realize the whimper is coming from somewhere below me. Miguel, who loves sleeping on a futon, has somehow managed to squirm his way under our bed. Poor little guy, all of 14 months. I lift the heavy sleigh bed and Noreen gingerly pries him loose, still half-asleep. It’s just shortly after 8 a.m. when I’m off to work and I kiss my little family goodbye. Today we’re having some potential clients take a look at the newfangled stock trading platform we’ve been developing. Be afraid, New York Stock Exchange, be VERY afraid! I wish Kara a fun day on this her second day at Columbus Preschool and Gym. What an exhilarating time it is for us new parents as our first-born sets out to conquer the world! Miguel, who knows my routine by now, waves “Ba!” on my way out the door, blissfully unaware of the minor scare he gave us this morning. Tony, our young doorman from Kosovo, greets me cheerfully in his spiffy uniform. His house in the ‘burbs is several times bigger than my co-op in the city. Perhaps I should be opening the door for him instead. Right outside the door, partisans for mayoral candidate Mark Green shove campaign flyers into my hands. I almost forgot – it’s the election primaries today. A good New York City citizen is what I aim to be, so I make a dash for the polling place next door. Back out into the sunshine I spy a bagel cart with a couple of customers forming a queue. That’s OK, I’m willing to endure the wait. Today I simply have to have a sesame bagel with cream cheese. Brown bag in hand, I walk the easy half-block to W. 96th St. and Central Park West Station with the neo-Georgian Christian Science church on the north corner. It’s about 8:25 a.m. by the time I board the B Train. At 59th St. and Columbus Circle I transfer to the A Train that will take me on the express track to the World Trade Center. It is 8:50 a.m. as the train comes to a halt at the WTC Chambers St. Station. I made good time. Great, I’ll be in the office by 9. I walk at a fast clip, dreading the endless underground walkway from the train platform to the double doors that open into the bustling World Trade Center lobby. *Groan*, doesn’t that street violinist know any other piece besides the theme from ‘Titanic’? I’m not dropping him another dollar. Before I could finish the thought, the double-doors of the World Trade Center fly wide open and a giant wave of panic-stricken humanity surges towards me. Flashthought: bomb threat, 1993, same location. Think! Quick! I back-track to the exit stairs and barely beat the crowd to it. A woman behind me says something about a bomb. A man in black yells “Police!”, flashes a badge, jumps the stairs and pushes his way through the crowds. Fake badge, I think to myself. Instead of helping us, you’re abusing your power so you can get out first. It’s deathly quiet and empty out on Church Street, so eerily different from your usual work day in Downtown Manhattan.
Darn, what’s the hold up, I’ve got to get to the office! I look around and up to see what the heck’s going on. The first thing I see is a cloud of paper sheets floating around the top floors of the WTC’s North Tower. There’s no sign of smoke, no fire. Strange. Is the shredded office-paper for a Yankees victory confetti parade? Curiosity gets the best of me. I overcome my fear and decide to walk one block closer to see where all that paper rain is coming from. Suddenly, the top of the North Tower looms into view David Nepomuceno with his family: Noreen, Kara, Miguel, Gia, and newborn Lukas in Bjorn baby carrier. Noreen teaches ballet at Royal Dance Academy, Kara is now an 8th grader at Carmel Valley Middle School, and Miguel, Gia, and Lukas all go to Ashley Falls school. – with a big black gaping gash on its face. Wisps of smoke and flame, barely visible, are just starting to billow from of it. I keep on walking to get a closer look, stopping just north of Barclay St. A crowd starts to gather around me, everybody asking everybody else what has just happened. My hunch is that it’s a fire that started on one of the uppermost floors. Okay, so maybe it’s a bomb. Somebody mentions something about a plane crashing into the building. I find it highly improbable. Well, a small plane maybe, a Piper Cub. Stupid pilot. The crowd begins to swell around me so I position myself against shop window grills to avoid getting squished. I want my space, people. I can see Borders Books diagonally across the street, which somehow gives me a semblance of normalcy. This is nothing. The building’s still standing isn’t it? Stop gawking, rush inside, and get going on that client demo. Should I make a run for it? Then the horror unfolds. The first one jumps out of the windows from maybe 70 floors up. Another one follows. And another. One, two, three bodies come flying down almost simultaneously, arms flailing in the air. One man floats down on his back curved like a banana boat, as if he’s trying not to see where he’ll land. I count the number of seconds to impact. One, two, three, four, five. Five seconds of hell. Quietly to myself, Oh my God! Gasps and groans from the people around me. How could, why would they choose to jump. I can’t decide – is this better than burning? I’m overwhelmed with helplessness. My heart is in my throat. I count at least 12 people who plunge to their deaths. How many more desperate souls are taking that route on the other side of the building? Before my imagination takes me too far, I am alerted to a dark object approaching from my left. Against the backdrop of the Twin Towers it appears to be a small to medium-sized plane. It’s flying too fast too low and it seems to be heading straight for the South Tower. What’s it trying to do? Am I seeing what I am seeing? No, this can’t be happening. My brain hasn’t even had time to process all this data when the plane plows into the South Tower. In that instant, it finally sinks in – the fire in the North Tower is no accident. I’m expecting a deep earth-shaking sur-
round-sound rumble just like in the movies. But what I hear are crunching and cracking sounds reminiscent of a breaking bone. Will the plane emerge from the other side and flatten us? In a flash, debris is being strewn all around. People are screaming, pushing, running. They trip and fall all over one another, growing into one big human pile right in front of my eyes. Don’t get caught in the stampede! This is the end, you fool. This is what you get for rubber-necking. It’s a stupid way to die. I stand dazed and wide-eyed, frozen stiff against the wall. When the crowds have thinned and I find myself all alone, I see eyeglasses, attaché cases, portfolios, women’s handbags, and mismatched shoes and highheels littering the street side by side airplane and building debris. As I walk away,
my eyes lock on what looks like a giant bright-aluminum gear or wheel in the middle of the street. Could it be part of a jet engine? Did it come from the first plane or the second plane? I don’t remember seeing it when I first got here. I shudder at the thought that this chunk of metal could have come hurtling down over me. I think I’m unscathed except for a tiny burn on my arm, probably from a flying metal spark. But now the time has come to stop pushing my luck and get the hell out of here. The first police cars and fire trucks and television reporters arrive at the scene as I start walking northwards. I look desperately for a payphone so I can call home but the waiting lines are too long everywhere. Train and bus service is spotty, so I make my way on foot through TriBeCa, China-
town and SoHo. All along the way, people are glued to their radios craning their necks anxiously to watch the thickening flames and smoke rising in the south. My heart sinks when I overhear that a third plane has just crashed into the Pentagon. My luck holds out when I reach Greenwich Village at West 4th St. The Uptown C is running and I manage to get on. But at 59th St. we’re told that train service is suspended. A guy behind me provides some comic relief when he yells, “I want my token back!” Back out on the street, I discover the buses aren’t running either. The incessant wailing of ambulances and police car sirens accompanies me on my lonely trek along Central Park West. I can’t keep myself from lookSee MEMORIES, page B26
Sept. 11: The best and the worst of humanity BY BARBARA CARSON EDWARDS We were living in Ridgewood, New Jersey, in 2001, home to many Wall Street executives because of its close proximity to New York City. Around the corner from us on Crest Road is the most Barbara Carson amazing view of the city. People trekked Edwards from miles around that day to see the smoldering skyline, changed forever by a gaping hole where the twin towers had stood just hours before. Some hugged each other, others prayed and some cried silently, but everyone wore a dazed expression of shock. Ridgewood lost 12 people on Sept. 11, 2001 and many more friends and relatives from nearby towns. I will never forget that fall morning in
New Jersey. The sun shone in a cloudless blue sky, warming the cool air below. Even 10 years later, my mind still reflects on the beautiful beginning of a day that ended with a tragedy so unspeakable that everyone and everything was moving in slow motion by the end of it. The impact of that day on my life ranges from more practical aspects like updating our wills and reviewing our life insurance policies regularly, to the now ever-present awareness that life can change in an instant. Many of the sayings I’ve heard my whole life began to have real meaning for me after Sept. 11, 2001. Don’t take your loved ones for granted, treat each day as though it were your last, don’t go to bed angry and you can’t be truly happy unless you’re helping someone else, and good and bad always exist together. Within the aftermath of that horrible tragedy, I feel like we also witnessed some of the best of humanity. Thank goodness.
9/11: Trying to make sense of the senseless BY INGRID HOFFMEISTER The alarm rang at 6.10 a.m. Pulling on my workout clothes I left my Del Mar home to meet my workout buddy on the corner of the street. A tall man with his head hung low slowly lumbered past me. “Good morning,” I Ingrid said. “It’s not such a good Hoffmeister morning,” he replied glancing my way. “You sound pretty upset,” I replied. “You obviously haven’t heard the news,” he mumbled to the road. “No. What news?” I asked. “Terrorists have smashed two planes into the World Trade Center.” I heard a muffled sound come out of my mouth with, “Oh my God.” My feet felt anchored to road as I watched the back of him drift away with the tone of his voice ringing in my ears. “Those bastards!” I turned away as my buddy called my
name. I repeated the dialogue. “Have you heard anything?” “Nothing,” she replied. We decided to walk back to her apartment where we joined another walking friend and like pigs in a blanket we clambered onto her bed to watch the tragedies take place on live television. Another plane crashed, and the second tower collapsed. We all looked at each other unsure if this was reality or some weird hoax that we weren’t privy to. I telephoned my husband to tell him to switch on the television and he told me that my daughter in London had already rung, having watched the horror on a large television screen at work. Helpless, stunned and lost in deep emotional turmoil we each tried to make sense of the senseless. Looking back over the past 10 years I see how I’ve become a more conscious global citizen who, via my computer and television, has become a witness to daily senseless tragedies around the world. Emotional turmoil and a feeling of helplessness, now resides with me.

ETHIOPIA continued from page B1 being a twin, growing teeth in the upper jaw before the lower jaw, and even chipping a tooth in childhood. Rowe first learned of the practice during his visits to the Omo Valley, “a place that National Geographic calls the last frontier in Africa.” “I saw these rich African cultures. I had a sense that this was something that would be changing and vanishing. I felt a certain sense of urgency to photograph as much of it as I could.” Rowe made his first trip to Africa in 2004. “I decided I really wanted to create a body of work around the Omo Valley and the tribes of the Omo Valley and I wanted it to be significant. “And that was the first time I met Lale Labuko,” Rowe said. “He’s been my guide and translator in the Omo for the past seven years.” Labuko, 29, who lost two sisters to the Mingi practice, had formed an NGO (nongovernmental organization) after convincing his tribal elders to allow him to relocate the tribe’s Mingi children to a house he rented in the town of Jinka outside the tribal area. Labuko’s organization eventually rented two houses and was caring for 28 Mingi children when they ran short of funds. Rowe decided to help. With Labuko as cofounder, Rowe founded the Omo Child Foundation early this year with the stated mission of stopping the killing of Mingi children, funding a home, food and education for the rescued children — and demonstrating to the children’s parents and tribal elders that the Mingi children are surviving, thriving, and will someday grow into productive contributors to their society. Labuko’s organization, with funding from the foundation, is now caring for 33 Mingi children. “There are 16 tribes in the Omo Valley,” Rowe said. “Three of them still practice Mingi. They maintain an ancient belief that certain children are born cursed or they become cursed. It’s a very hush, hush thing. I visited this region four or five times, for weeks at a time, before I even heard the first rumblings about this practice.” Even Labuko, who was selected by Swedish missionaries to be educated from age 9 at a school 65 kilometers away from his village, did not learn of the practice until he was 15 and had returned to his village during a school break. He discovered that a child was taken from the village one night and drowned.
September 8, 2011 His parents revealed that the child was a Mingi and that two of his sisters previously had been declared Mingi and had been killed. “Lali [Labuko] was raised in a pastoral village,” Rowe said, “where there are cows, goats and flood recession agriculture. This is how they survive. There’s no medical care of any kind. There’s no electricity. There’s no communication with the outside world. There are no cars. There’s no money. Your ‘money’ is on all fours. It’s your cows and your goats, that’s your money.” On the day of the interview, Labuko was in Rowe’s house as a guest on his way to Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, to begin studies on a full scholarship. Rowe was born in Los Angeles. His father was a chartered public accountant, In high school, Rowe recalls, the only class he enjoyed was photography. “I used to be really embarrassed that I couldn’t say I graduated from college and I’ve finally gotten to the point in my life where at least I admit it and I talk about it openly,” Rowe said. “Life is all about growing and learning and as long as I keep learning and growing I think I’m going to be OK.” So during the Vietnam War, when he enlisted in the Navy Reserve and they sent him to the U.S. Navy School of Photography in Pensacola, Florida, that was definitely “OK.” Returning to civilian life, he studied management at the University of Southern California, but “dropped out” in his senior year to join a firm started by a friend and former Secret Service agent that arranged security for travelling VIPs. One of his first assignments was as an advance man to arrange for the travel security of Henry Kissinger, who had just left government service and was a private consultant. Later, Rowe joined a security consultant firm in London, England, that arranged travel security for members of the Royal Saudi family and other private clients. “I learned so much.” Rowe said. “It really was, for me, a much better education than had I spent that last semester at USC getting my degree,” he concluded. Returning to the U.S., and having saved up some money, he spent time teaching sailing and racing sail boats out of Newport Beach while he contemplated what he might do next. “I got a call one morning at 2 a.m. from Japan,” he said. It was from a former sailing student of his who had returned to his native Japan after college to join video games company SNK, that wanted to open an office in
California. That was Rowe’s introduction to the video games industry. As a consultant, he helped set up the company’s California office, and subsequently was appointed executive vice president. Five years later, he launched his own company, importing video games from Japan and buying the rights to the games for use in arcades and movie theaters. In less than a year, he secured the rights to Ikari Warriors, his first big hit, with others to follow. “And from that we ended up buying our first big company, Cinematronics,” a pioneering arcade game developer in El Cajon, that later became the Leland Corporation, with Rowe serving as its president and CEO from 1985 to 1990. About that time, Nintendo launched its home games entertainment system, he said. “So I immediately got on a plane to Japan to see what was available that I could license for the Nintendo system that we could sell here in the U.S. I was lucky enough to get the rights for our company to a game called Double Dragon. And this thing just took off and was really, really big. “The arcade game business and the manufacturing of the big cabinets fell by the wayside and we concentrated on making games for computers and for Nintendo and Sony Play Station,” he said. “We really liked making sports and dragon games.” When Leland was acquired by WMS Industries, Rowe stayed on for five years as director of product development for the Midway Games division before launching High Moon Studios in Carlsbad to produce video games and short computer-graphic animated films. Over the course of his 25-year career, Rowe estimates his companies sold more than $1 billion in video games. As he approached the Big Five O, “I really wanted to get back to what I love. You manage companies and manage people …and all of a sudden digital photography came on the scene. He bought a small Fuji digital camera. “On business trips, to relieve the stress of the day, I’d take my camera and go out on the street and do street photography or go to some nice gardens, particularly in Tokyo. “As I started to plan for the next phase in my life, I got more and more involved in photography. I got better equipment. And, I started travelling a lot, for photography.” He sold High Moon Studios to Vivendi Universal and retired in 2005.
“Over the past several years, I’ve been to Africa once or twice a year, sometimes for as long as three months at a time, because I’ve been trying to assemble a body of photographic work on the indigenous and tribal cultures in Africa — Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. “Their worlds are changing very rapidly, primarily as the modern world starts to come

in around them, whether it be dams, roads, or just people. This is the last opportunity really in many of these places to see people in their native cultures.” You can view samples of Rowe’s photography and learn more about the Omo Child Foundation at www.omochild.org or visit www.johnrowephoto.com.

surgery to get relief from back pains and headaches, Benedek decided to experiment with her diet, and eliminated gluten, corn and soy. The Rancho Santa Fe resident began feeling healthy again and avoided surgery and medications. After crossing paths with Barbanti, Benedek joined forces with him, and together they opened 2Good2B Bakery & Café in June at the former location of It’s a Grind coffeehouse in Encinitas. Among the items offered are desserts, bread, panini, quiche, Neopolitan-style pizza and baguettes. “We wanted it to be a bakery for everyone,” Benedek said. Barbanti said they have received a lot of positive response. Some people drive many miles to come to the bakery. “They say thank you ... for being here and giving us real food again,” he said. “The cupcakes and cook-
ies are unmatchable in the gluten-free industry today, anywhere,” said customer Dr. Charley Scott, a chiropractor who also specializes in nutrition and gluten intolerance from the alternative side. Barbanti and Benedek said they plan to expand their business after the holidays. There will be full menus that will include comfort foods such as baked mac ‘n’ cheese, pot pies, soups, lasagna and meatballs, and a takeout service will also be offered. In addition, there will be more catering options — right now, 2Good2B offers desserts and breads, but full meals will be offered, as well, once the restaurant changes occur. “We’ll never introduce a product that only people forced to eat gluten-free will tolerate,” Barbanti said. “Whether it’s a loaf of artisan bread, a quiche or toasted coconut cake, everything has to be excellent by anyone’s standards. Our name isn’t ‘Kinda Good’ or ‘Sorta Good.’ It’s ‘2Good2B,’ and the name says it all.”

Coldwell Banker agents donate backpacks to kids A group of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Realtors, specializing in University City, were the recent sponsors of their 5th annual Backpack Drive, donating and collecting backpacks along with assorted school supplies for homeless and foster children covered under The Office for Children and Youth in Transition, part of the San Diego Unified School District. The agents involved in this community fundraiser include: Katie Dunahoo, June Kubli, Lydia Hwang Vosovic, Kathleen Williams, John Schindel, Venzel Hammershaimb, Alicia Malo, Carol Uribe, John and Sandy Bassler and Sue Silva. Collectively, they worked to organize the musical event at Standley Park on Aug. 14. The agents were thrilled with the amount of community support from people of all ages: families even took their children shopping so their children could select the items to donate. In the end, agents delivered a truckload of wonderful items to the school district dropoff location for students coming back to school. “I am very proud of our agents’ efforts

like ducking for cover every time I hear the drone of an airplane. When I finally make it home around 10:30 a.m. I’m just in time to catch television reports of the North Tower collapsing onto the area where I had been standing just an hour earlier. I’m distraught. Trying to calm myself down, I realize that I’m still clutching my sesame bagel. I take it out of the brown paper bag and take a large bite. My senses stir back to life. I’m alive. Heavy

A few months after 9/11, David Nepomuceno moved his family to San Diego where he started a new job as a software developer and database administrator for an application managing the millions of engineering drawings, parts and components that went into assembling and maintaining Boeing airplanes. Up to the time he left the company in 2006, the full records of the four 9/11 planes were still available in the database.
Pines are truly special trees. Their leaves have developed into clusters of nee- Frank La Rosa dles which photosynthesize the sun’s energy and hold and retain the smallest amounts of atmosphere moisture. Our American Torrey Pines survive this dry, almost desert climate only because their needles have the capacity to absorb life invigorating mists and fogs wafting in from the Pacific Ocean. And yet, these needles harbor poisonous dust and pollutants in an urban environment, especially if the pines grow near much traveled roads and freeways. This is why moderate sized pines need washing down from time to time with a powerful water spray from a hose nozzle. The benefits are visible immediately; toxic dusts of pollution are removed, insects such as mealy bugs are blasted off, and the needles glisten with renewed verdancy.
ming. They have a rugged grace like smaller bonsais. Shake or knock off the dead needles with a bamboo pole. If done skillfully, the tree will not be injured, and the benefits are great. Pinus nigra, the Austrian pine, is a slow grower. I have a 4’ by 5’ specimen in a wooden planter at the entrance to my home. It has grown there for forty years, received snipping and shaping, and now it is attractive. So, pines, regardless of growth patterns, can be adapted to the urban scene. Pinus pinea, the Italian stone pine, provides a wide umbrella of top growth, and it can be held to size. It does very well near the coast-some beautiful examples are in La Jolla and Del Mar— and it does need trimming if you want to control size. The trick with pines and most trees is in not allowing them “too-long-aleash.� If you do not watch them they become monsters blocking the neighbors’ views. I observe pines as I walk the dog, and they are graciously attractive because they are appreciated, trimmed regularly, and are more than serviceable accoutrements.
Of course, Torrey Pines grow too large in the urban setting. They grow unnaturally large because of lawn irrigation, so large that they are threats to neighbors’ property and gardens, are costly to have trimmed, and make gardening under them impossible because of roots and fallen needles which shade out almost everything. But, there are pines that are very well suited to neighborhood gardens. Pinus halepensis, the Mediterranean Aleppo pine, can get large, but if trimmed properly it will be a fine tree to set off the architecture of a house. All excess branches should be cut out when the tree is small--an exercise is the art of negative space. And, keep the tree that way as it grows. It will grow more slowly now that the food generating needles are fewer. I have two Aleppos kept as large “bonsais�, and they are so graceful. Pinus thunbergia, the Japanese black pine, grows well in many settings. Actually, all pines do well with any soil, little water and fertilizer, and ample sun. Black pines can be held to any size with trim-
