Osuna Ranch riding arena renovation approved BY KAREN BILLING CONTRIBUTOR The Rancho Santa Fe Association board voted 4-1 Sept. 1 to approve a renovation of the Osuna Ranch’s riding arena, not to exceed $48,000. Larry Spitcaufsky issued the sole opposing vote, raising concerns about a warranty and some guarantee about annual maintenance costs from the bidder, California Custom Arenas. Spitcaufsky drew on his knowledge going through similar arena upgrades with the Rancho Riding Club, where he serves as its board president. “I’d make sure we knew the answers to those two questions before we approve it,” Spitcaufsky said. “ It can get out of hand if you don’t put it down right.” While a warranty and maintenance costs were not known at the Sept. 1 meeting, it could be included in the final bid. The arena at the ranch is in poor condition, with the sand breaking down, according to the report by Daria Quay, ranch manager. It has been five years since the arena was scraped, leveled and filled with new sand. Even though new sand has been added to the arena every year, “The sand is so old it turns to concrete when it gets wet and the drag teeth are penetrating the DG (decomposed granite) base and mixing with the sand so the base is also deteriorating,” Quay reported. The renovation project would remove the top layer of sand, repair the base layer with three feet of DG and bring in new sand. The discussion on improving the Osuna Ranch raised See ARENA, page 26

Fill a backpack... Feed a Mind Kids Korps USA recently presented “Fill a Backpack...Feed a Mind.” Over the past several weeks, backpack and school supply donations were made at participating San Diego Starbucks locations throughout San Diego County and Kids Korps (co-founded by RSF resident Joani Wafer). On Aug. 27, more than 100 volunteers came together to fill and prepare backpacks for donation to Camp Pendleton Armed Services YMCA and New Alternatives, Inc. These organizations will distribute the backpacks to children and teens throughout San Diego. The event provides children in need with the opportunity to flourish in school.

Mountain lion spotted San Dieguito Watershed tests ‘better than most’ in Rancho Santa Fe On Sept. 2, at 7 a.m., a gardener working in the area of 4700 El Mirlo spotted what appeared to be a mountain lion in the orange grove between the two properties, according to RSF Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser. “We contacted wildlife officials, San Diego Sheriff’s Dept. and advised them of the sighting,” Wellhouser said. “The animal did not attack or approach the gardener.” RSF is home to many species of animals, including coyotes, bobcat and mountain lions, Wellhouser said. “These animals are native to the area and can be attracted around homes by

leaving pet food out, the presence of small pets, etc.” Wellhouser said. “State Fish and Game warn people to not leave food or pets outside and keep a close eye on small children — especially during early morning or late afternoon times. In addition, do not jog, bike or hike alone; do not approach a coyote, bobcat, or mountain lion.” Wellhouser added that sometimes the attraction of smaller wild animals attracts the bigger animals, as well. These animals are most active at dawn, dusk and at night. Often deer are attracted to the area because of food sources, same with oposSee LION, page 26

BY CLAIRE HARLN STAFF WRITER As part of the largest volunteerbased 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 through Rancho Santa Fe 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 noteworthy 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, 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 See WATERSHED, page 26

Number of liens placed on Covenant properties down Only nine properties in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant will have liens placed against them after several homeowners paid their outstanding dues. In July, the Rancho Santa Fe Association suspended the privileges of 15 property owners who were delinquent on their 2010-11 assessment payments with liens scheduled to be placed on Aug. 31. Six of those owners made enough required payments by Aug. 31

to avoid liens and Association Manager Pete Smith gave credit to the Association staff for tracking down the money. “To have only nine properties in today’s environment within some 1,900 homes, that’s commendable,” Smith said. Last year liens were placed on 17 Covenant parcels. — Karen Billing

ASK THE EDITOR

Bomb scare stirs up Del Mar

What is the status of Mimulus street paving? A reader asked: What is the status on the street paving project for Mimulus? Answer: At the Sept. 1 Rancho Santa Fe Association meeting, Covenant Administrator Ivan Holler reported that the project to re-pave Mimulus, which also includes the paving of Las Planideras, was originally scheduled for the spring but stalled after there was a problem with the bidding

process. A revised bid opened on Aug. 30 and Holler anticipates the bid should be awarded in late September, with the work beginning possibly as soon as 30 days after that. Association Manager Pete Smith said the Association is working aggressively with the county at all levels to get more of Rancho Santa Fe’s road issues addressed. After a particularly rainy winter season, many Ranch

roads are in a deteriorating state. “Our roads are in really bad shape, in our opinion they’re among the worst in the county,” Smith said. The hope is to get additional roadways added to the list of repaving priorities in the county, Smith said.

Research Report: Find may help overcome antibiotic-resistant bacteria BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN CONTRIBUTOR Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have successfully re-engineered the antibiotic vancomycin to kill the deadliest antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The walls of bacteria are made of a complex material called peptidoglycan. Vancomycin acts against bacteria by grabbing onto peptidoglycan, rendering it useless, and ultimately killing the pathogen. Unfortunately, bacteria have found a way to alter the pepti-

doglycan molecule so that what once attracted vancomycin now repels the antibiotic thus preventing binding. But two can play at this game and in so doing TSRI chemists achieved a double victory. Researchers successfully altered vancomycin to be attracted to peptidoglycan in antibiotic-resistant bacteria and, in addition, the redesigned vancomycin maintains its ability to bind to wild-type peptidoglycan. Results are published in the Journal of See REPORT, page 26

Profile

Retired video games entrepreneur finds renewed meaning in photography and 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 cofounder 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 home in Rancho Santa Fe where he lives with his wife of 29 years, Regina (Reggie), their two collegeattending 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, cam-

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.” 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, 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 (non-governmental 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. 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.

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 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

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 after the tsunamis that devastated Southeast Asia in December 2004. Carr said he wanted to donate money to help the tsunami victims,

but didn’t want a large portion of his donation to go towards a charitable group’s overhead costs. 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 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

Popular ‘Jazzercise by the Sea’ to open new location BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR When Susan Jentzsch’s weight reached close to 200 lbs. her sister advised an exercise program: Jazzercise. That was when Jentzsch was studying for a degree in marketing with an emphasis in design and was too busy and unmotivated to undertake such a program. Her response was, “I’m not going to Susan Jentzsch a Jazzercise class, mom used to go to those classes, they are for old ladies!” Nevertheless, her sister convinced her and Jentzsch heeded her sister’s advice. “I went with her to that first class and I’ve never stopped!” Not only did Jazzercise help Jentzsch lose 60 lbs., it also ultimately changed her career path. Today Jentzsch owns “Jazzercise by the Sea,” which opens its new location soon in Sorrento Valley. Her classes currently take place at the Carmel Valley and Solana Beach locations of the San Dieguito Boys and Girls Club, and the dance exercise program, that was founded in 1969 by Judi Sheppard Misset, is as popular as ever. It is now an international franchise in 32 countries. “Jazzercise is a fun, total body workout that can burn up to 600 calories per class,” said Jentzsch. “Each 60-minute Jazzercise group fitness class features a fusion of jazz dance, yoga, kickboxing, resistance training, Pilates, Latin-style movements and more. It’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels, featuring easy-to-follow movements to today’s hottest dance music,” she added. Contiguous with her role as a Jazzercise instructor, Jen-

tzsch, a local resident, also designs and markets MODA by Sofia, a line of exercise clothing. “As a curvy woman I could never find clothing that fit me appropriately for exercise. Most manufacturers cater to very skinny, very narrow women. I don’t look anything like that.” Necessity, and a love for fashion and design, motivated Jentzsch to create a line of exercise apparel that would fit any woman’s body type during a rigorous workout. “I was a curvy exercise trainer, designing for curvy women and it was a really nice match.” In her Jazzercise life it is very important for Jentzsch to teach a high energy, quality class, emphasizing body alignments and making sure her clients are safe during the workout sessions, she said. “I carried this through into my design life, as I also wanted to make a quality clothing line.” On Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, Jazzercise by the Sea will move into a facility located at 11722 Sorrento Valley Road. There will be a grand opening class scheduled that day. Later in October, at a date yet to be determined, a ribbon-cutting celebration will mark the new location’s official opening. All updates for Jentzsch’s classes, her new location, and its inaugural class are on her Facebook page, named appropriately, Jazzercise by the Sea. Become a Facebook community friend and get full information on class schedules and other relevant details. “With Jazzercise you don’t just come to exercise, you become part of a community. We have formed this beautiful atmosphere with women who really care about each other.” Members invite each other for coffee on Saturdays and gather for Happy Hours. “It really is a beautiful group of women who share a common thread, which is heart health, de-stressing, mental and emotional well-being,” Jentzsch said. Additional Jazzercise programs include Jazzercise Low Impact, Jazzercise Lite, Personal Touch and Junior Jazzercise for kids. For more information, contact Susan Jentzsch at 858-735-2714.

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.

Rancho Santa Fe Real Estate: Chasing the Market

The Royal Treatment…..The beauty, privacy and location of this estate cannot be overstated. Gracing a prime Covenant location, this magnificent 3.92 acre site is gated, fenced and lushly landscaped ---with no neighbors in sight. From the moment you step onto the estate grounds, you are enveloped in the sensuous ambiance of a Mediterranean paradise, with pepper and olive trees dotting the landscape and the soothing sound of water splashing and cascading.

If we compare the first 8 months o publishing time constraints for this article, the number of sales has been essentially the same affected overall median value or marketing time. Consequently, with respect to activity, this year looks a lot like last year; yet, it would not be incorrect to say that it “feels” slower. If we look at the chart showing the number of properties sold, we can see that January and February started out about the same in both years, but from March 2010 through July 2010 there was an increasing trend in the number of sales compared to a decreasing trend for the same time period in 2011. Essentially, as the real estate season progressed in 2010, the number of sales did too, creating a sense of positive momentum and activity. However, this year, we started with a great March which created a lot of promise, but instead we have had a steady sales decline, making many wonder what happened to the season.

Of all the sub-markets in Rancho Santa Fe, this one not only significantly outperformed the others, but also improved in 2011.

Remembering Sept. 11, 2001

9/11: Former firefighter recalls the search for victims — including his colleagues 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.” “What?” I slid from bed, padded to the living room, and 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, firstthrough fifth-alarm assignments.

The Bagel of Life: Memories of a foolish 9/11 onlooker BY DAVID NEPOMUCENO A baby’s faint cry kickstarts 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 good-bye. Today we’re having some potential clients

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 big-

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.

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 amazing view of the city. People Barbara Carson trekked from miles Edwards 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 said. “It’s not such a good mornIngrid ing,” he replied glancing my way. “You sound pretty up- Hoffmeister set,” 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.

Del Mar Debutante Stakes Weemissfrankie, named for the late Hollywood actor and director Frank Alesia, went five wide on the turn for home and ran by her rivals in the stretch to score a 1 1/4-length win in the Del Mar Debutante Stakes (Grade I) for 2-year-old fillies. Self Preservation finished second, while Emerald Gold was three-quarters of a length behind her in third. Weemissfrankie, who was making her second start, finished the seven furlongs on the Polytrack in 1:23.20 with jockey Rafael Bejarano aboard. The chestnut filly is owned by Alesia’s wife, Sharon Alesia of La Costa, along with Joe Ciaglia’s Ciaglia Stable, Nick Cosato, Mike Mellen’s Bran Jam Stable and Rob Dyrdek.

Athlete completes another summer of open water swims BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Local 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 in three hours, 17 minutes,

Barbara Held midswim making her the second fastest American women to swim the strait. “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 aonly 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 $3,500 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.

MEMORIES continued from page 16 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 panicstricken humanity surges towards me. Flash-thought: 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 – 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 im-

probable. 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 surround-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 rubbernecking. It’s a stupid way to die. I stand dazed and wideeyed, 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 high-heels 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, Chinatown 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 looking up at the sky every few minutes and feel 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 of heart and haunted by flailing bodies. But alive. 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.

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 Marsha Sutton the teaching of 9/11 to children in grades K-12, and the answer is that 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 alreadycrowded 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.

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 anti-American 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 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

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

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.

There will be food, wine, music and tennis, as well as a chance to learn about the Conservancy and meet other members — 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

The condition is prompted by different cytokines — small signaling proteins — that activate the immune system, causing chronic inflammation. Researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine have discovered that expression of a newly identified human cytokine — Interleukin 37 (IL-37) — protects mice from colitis, by downgrading inflammation. This is significant because IL-37 is a member of the IL-1 family and most molecules in the IL-1 family appear to promote an inflammatory response. IL-37 does the opposite. Once the mechanism

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.

The study was led researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and the Scripps Translational Science Institute. A total of 1,878 women participated in the study, which looked for the frequency of specific inherited factors in different groups with eating disorders, including those with anorexia who did not show signs of recovery for long time periods. Among the genetic patterns identified were that the women who did not recover over the long term exhibited a higher frequency of genetic variations

Previously, the genes encoding the GABA receptors were not thought to be involved in behavioral disorders. Typically, behavioral disorders are genetically linked to the neurotransmitter receptors serotonin and dopamine. In this study, no genetic variations in the serotonin or dopamine receptor gene families were found. This suggests that a course of action geared toward the GABA receptors, rather than serotonin or dopamine uptake, may provide a treatment in patients with eating disorders.

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.

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.

Playhouse’s WoW project stages theatrical experience in Botanic Garden

La Jolla Cultural Partners

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.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

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-

Join Us for Our September “Month of Discovery”

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.

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 lis-

ten. “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. Additional information is available at exhibitors.girlsworldexpo.com. All applications are reviewed to assure that vendor offerings will be consistent with the Girls World Expo goals, thus creating a positive marketing environment for all participants.

LOW T?

Low T is short for low testosterone, a condition facing many adult males. Everyone is familiar with the stage in a woman’s life known as menopause. But few realize that men are also faced with serious hormonal changes. The difference? The process in men, known as andropause, begins in their 20’s and continues gradually as they age.

McMurtry takes next role in the premiere of ‘Heroes’ at North Coast Rep BY SARA APPEL-LENNON Contributor For the past 50 years, Jonathan McMurtry has been Associate Artist with The Old Globe Theatre, having acted in more than 200 productions, performed in all 37 plays by Shakespeare, and mentored graduate students. His awards include the KPBS 2006 Shiley Patte “Lifetime in Theatre Achievement,” several Los Angeles and San Diego Critics’ Circle Awards, and the 2008 Craig Noel “Lifetime in Theatre Achievement Award.” “I’ve stopped counting all of my awards. 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.

A wine-encased room offers privacy for guests.

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Kitchen 1540’s Organic Beet Salad

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.

Grauer School selected as subject in documentary film American Hope Charities selected The Grauer School as a subject in a recent documentary film depicting the Southern California visit of Apostle Alex Mitalia, who is both a religious leader and statesman from Uganda, Africa. He operates a school and orphanage in Uganda that supports over 2,000 children and provides comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Apostle Mitalia encourages high school graduates to create microenterprises for those students who cannot enter public universities (there are 5,000 applicants for each scholarship available). The film focuses on Apostle Mitalia’s life, including the school, and his efforts to protect the Ugandan environment. The Grauer School was selected to participate in the film as a leading example of sustainable practices in Southern California, as well as an exemplary educational environment and for its international work focused on fostering humanitarian outreach among its students. The film shoot took place on the campus of the Grauer School in Encinitas, which includes a 3-acre natural habitat. According to Grauer School Principal Dana Abplanalp-Diggs, “I found the day of the shoot to be beautiful and extremely educational. This was an extraordinary experience for our students who were engaged in the film shoot on campus — it truly brought

Dr. Stuart Grauer, Apostle Alex Mitalia, Dr. Jorge Rivera-Bernal (chief executive officer, American Hope Charities).” to life the global reach our school philosophy embodies that each of us can make a difference in enhancing the educational lives of others, regardless of their location and circumstances. Much like the school managed by Apostle Mitalia, The Grauer School embraces core values of intellectual curiosity, resourcefulness, perseverance, compassion, accountability and self-advocacy.” Upon completion, the film will be previewed throughout Europe and in The Grauer School’s continuing film and speaker series of “Great Conversations.” For more information, visit www.grauerschool.com or call 760/944-6777.

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.

“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 anti-hero 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.

Jim Stajdel’s new song invites world to ‘Hear Freedom Ring’ BY WILL BOWEN Contributor To commemorate 9-11, local art dealer-turned-musician-songwriter Jim Stajdel of Cosmopolitan Gallery, has written a song about how social networking is impacting the Middle East. Stajdel calls it “Hear Freedom Ring.” It’s a catchy, melodic and patriotic rock song with a modern country flavor released on iTunes and CD Baby, where you can buy it for 99-cents. Stajdel also has plans for an accompanying music video to be posted on YouTube. He said he wants to eventually have his song sung in Arabic and Farsi with captions in those languages on the YouTube video. He is hoping local radio stations will play it. Stajdel said the song is about social networking because he thinks it can be used to help fight terrorism and lead to the spread of peaceful, progressive democracies throughout the world. According to Stajdel, social networking makes it almost impossible for dictators and repressive regimes to control the flow of information in their favor. “People can see that freedom and a better life are possible. They see it on YouTube and on Web pages, they hear about it on Twitter and Facebook,” he said. “I’m convinced that social networking is behind the latest revolts in Libya and Egypt.” Stajdel said he was inspired by a note from his brother, who works in Cairo. “He sent me an e-mail about how he was so glad people were watching the revolution in Egypt and could see that not everyone there was a terrorist; that there were a lot of good people there. That thought made me want to write this song. “I remember I used to sing ‘Eve of Destruction’ by Barry McGuire when I was in my old rock band called “Rainband,” in New Orleans during the Iranian hostage situation during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. This is kind of an update on that song. Besides, I am Old School. I come from the generation that produced Bob Dylan and John Lennon. I want to help change the world with my music.” Stajdel said he also plans to release a love song, “All We’ll Ever Need,” which talks about two lovers walk-

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 contin-

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 changing his cooking methods and experimenting with gluten-free items. After developing the lemon layer cake, he debuted a carrot cake at a Thanksgiving dinner, which also garnered praise. In 2009, Barbanti developed his talents into an online business called 2Good2B ... gluten-free. Initially, 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

Rather than go through 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, Neopolitanstyle 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 cookies 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.”

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

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

Teens Korps Leadership Council member helps youth in Tanzania BY COLEMAN BAKER 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. The trip has had a great impact on me. I now have a greater appreciation for many things in my life and I now realize that when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m older I would like to spend a portion of my time and money to help people in countries like Tanzania.

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.

Offensive lineman Jacob Alsadek leads the way for running back Billy Maggs. Photo/Anna Scipione ***** 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.

Dr. He Said, She Said: Angry husband

Dear Dr. He Said, Dr. She Said, My wife and I have been going through a very rough patch lately. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not very good at communicating with each other. She refuses to deal with me when I am angry, and she tells me that I am always angry and in a bad mood when I come home from work. I agree that I feel a lot of stress lately, and that I probably blow up more easily these days, but she makes me feel like such an ogre (her label for me actually). I am so tired of wondering what is going on for her behind that everything-is-always-just-fine smile that she wears. I know she must be angry at times, but she is so afraid to show it, and it makes me crazy that she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be real with me. I am tired of being the ogre, and in the meantime weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not feeling very attracted to one another. While I am committed to working this out with her, it is very hard not to feel discouraged by the lack of closeness and the anger. We have two wonderful kids and I really want our family to survive this crisis. Do you have any suggestions for us? Dan Dr. She: Dear Dan: I greatly appreciate you reaching out when you are the one being labeled the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bad guyâ&#x20AC;? in this situation. It seems you are aware of the fact there is an imbalance in both yours and your wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship to anger and how you communicate that anger. It also sounds like you are not ready to buy into the idea that this is all about you, and it certainly does not sound like it is! All of us, as human beings, have a wide range of emotion, including anger. Anger is most often, in relationship, a defense mechanism against feeling the vulnerable emotion of hurt or rejection. Dr. He and I get very concerned when couples come in to see us who are having difficulty in their relationship and they tell us they never argue. When this is the case, we know the couple is swallowing their anger/hurt and no conflict resolution is happening between these two separate individual who are consistently bound to have differences. It sounds like both you and your wife are very protective of feeling vulnerable and hurt but manage that

fear in different ways. I am guessing that your wife tries to be very even keeled in order to suppress or manage her anger. It sounds like you may overreact and push away your wife in order to protect yourself. It is also possible that the lack of balance of emotion in the relationship along with your wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of expression of anger leaves you with the job of carrying the anger for both of you. It would be important to investigate and understand both your and your wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship to anger. By that I mean, what have you learned about feeling and expressing anger throughout your life. Usually, if people are exposed to very unhealthy expressions of anger growing up they either continue that pattern or make an agreement with themselves that they will never be â&#x20AC;&#x153;that out of controlâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;that crazyâ&#x20AC;? or whatever they have labeled the expression of anger they witnessed to be. Until you figure out your personal relationship with anger and how out of balance the emotional expression is in the relationship, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ready to develop a healthy way to express your anger and communicate more effectively. These seem to be some of your stumbling blocks at the moment.

The goal of creating more honest and direct communication does not mean that you both have to agree with each other. It means you must learn how to disagree with and stay respectful toward one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even when you are both angry. This Hanalei Vierra, Ph.D. leads me to my second point. (Dr. He) and Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lissa The most difficult thing Trent, Ph.D. (Dr. She) for a couple to practice as they are getting used to â&#x20AC;&#x153;allowingâ&#x20AC;? anger to be expressed more freely in their relationship, is validating each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger. This is the key to making it okay to express anger in a relationship. For example, validating your wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger does not mean that you have to abandon your own feelings, but rather that you learn how

*Ć&#x17D;5+1.Ć&#x17D; '5 . Ä?

Dr. He Hello Dan, I think Dr. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overview is very astute, so I will focus on two specific points that I think could help you and your wife with the way you both deal with anger. The first point is that I think you will be perceived less as an ogre if you can learn to talk to her about the feelings underneath your anger. For example, I know that for myself, eight or nine times out of ten when I get angry, that my anger is the result of some way that I feel either hurt by someone or scared by a situation. It is easy for me to quickly roll right through the pain or fear and get straight to feeling my anger, but acknowledging and talking about the original pain or fear is really the best thing that can happen for me at that moment. Try it for yourself. The next time you get angry, ask yourself if you are also feeling emotional pain about something, or are afraid of something. The more you both can talk about those core feelings to each other, the more honest and direct your relationship will become.

to put yourself in her shoes and wonder what it must feel like to be her in that situation. Validating another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger, however, does not mean consenting to the other person being judgmental or aggressively critical toward you. It means that you take the time to see why the other person feels the way they feelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether it be pain, fear, or angerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; about that situation. When you are both able to say to each other, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though my feelings about this situation are different than yours, I can see why you would be feeling angry about this right nowâ&#x20AC;?, then you will be making the relationship a safe place for anger to be expressed.

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families

Hope for marriage BY DIANA WEISSWISDOM, PH.D. This summer we held our first “Keeping Love Alive Marriage Retreat” at The Cottage Clinic. It was one of the best experiences of my life. The experiential two-and a-half Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom day workshop was based on the bestselling book “Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Sue Johnson. The program presents a streamlined version of “Emotionally Focused Couples” therapy, an empirically proven approach to creating adult loving relationships – it has a 70-75 percent success rate for couples! While it was my first time facilitating this particular workshop, my co-facilitator, Dr. Rebecca Jorgensen, has given them all over the world. We made a good team and the workshop was well received. The primary reason that I am deviating from my usual advice column format is to hopefully relay a message of hope. Two couples contacted me prior to the workshop inquiring as to whether participation could help re-kindle their long- term marriage, in which there was friendship and love but their children had left the nest and there was no spark left. With overly zealous concern, not to “sell” our program with unrealistic expectation, I discouraged them from attending. And during the program, I watched 15 couples from all over the world, shift their relationships to a deeper, more loving connec-

tion; I’ve changed my thinking. I learned that where there is friendship and love in a marriage but the spark has become dormant, it is possible to rekindle passionate feelings and intimacy. It is the quality of the emotional bond that is the gatekeeper for sexual intimacy for men and women. The fact is that we are attaching mammals. The research is clear. We need each other for survival. We die or get sick in isolation. According to the latest research, married people tend to be healthier and live longer than their unmarried counterparts. The Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy approach focuses on creating and strengthening the emotional bond with your partner by identifying and transforming the key moments that foster an adult loving relationship. And that’s why I’m excited about it. I’ve seen it work. So, long message short, if you and your partner are feeling alone in your marriage, it’s possible to change the negative patterns that you find yourselves in. We now understand exactly where love goes wrong and how to make it right. We have a researchbased approach for how to create a secure and lasting bond that can lead to lasting passionate love for a lifetime. Obviously, I cannot make any promises, but a good place to start is to buy, “Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Sue Johnson, Ph.D. Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

opmental achievement for adults that shifts them into a more advanced level of development filled with challenges and tasks. Many adults will express that having a child is the single most remarkable experience in life and immerse themselves in the process, while others feel pleased with the process, but struggle with both the stresses and capacity to understand what goes on in the minds of children and adolescents and how important they are in learning about life, themselves, and the world around them. For the child, having an invested, loving, understanding, and available parent contributes to both an internalized sense of love and confidence as well as becomes a marker for premier psychological functioning and success in the future. For both boys and girls, the relationship they have with the same-sex parent also is significant in the establishment of gender identity and interpersonal or social performance for this parent is their ideal as to what they aspire to be like inn future years. In other words, this parent becomes the “hero” for the child. Therefore, when the relationship is strained or distanced, the effect can be detrimental to the child. Many parents do not understand how their interaction, attitude, and investment in their children serves as the most vital predictors for their child’s psychological development and future success. Many rely too heavily on schools and other external avenues to help their child mature and grow. The truth, however, is that the relationship with the parents is the single most important relationship and learning opportunity for any child and will have a significant impact on both the child’s everyday life as well as molding their personality over the years as they become independent adults. The old adage “parenting is the toughest job in the world” is a truism as well as the one stating that “parenting is the most rewarding experience in the world” as parents experience their offspring blossom ad become self-functioning. Taking both of these into consideration, the more that the parent can learn about child and adolescent development, the uniqueness of their child, and try to connect themselves to their child through each stage of their

development, the outcome for both the child and parent alike is optimal and rewarding. Given our current plethora of societal stressors, our children need us more than ever to secure and protect them and teach them how to be healthy, helpful, and self-responsible. We also need to show them through our attitude and actions that everything will indeed be “okay” and that stress and struggle is a normal part of life, but through dedication, security, and an optimistic outlook, tough times will pass and better times are ahead even if there is present instability, outside of home, around them. To provide for this opportunity, however, certain measures must be considered: 1. Familiarize yourself with child and adolescent development. There are various books available for parents on all aspects on each stage of development, such as the series of developmental books through the American Academy of Pediatrics and ones published by T. Barry Brazelton and Peneloppe Leach. 2. Make an effort to get to know your child. Look at their artwork, read their stories, attend school-related activities, and ask them about their interests and let them teach you things. 3. Make time to spend time alone with them apart from other children and your spouse. Children love one-on-one time with a parent for they do not have to share any attention. 4. Take care of yourself. Each parent needs to balance self-care with caring for

their child. The healthy adult who can take care of both their own physical and psychological needs is both more capable of giving more to their children as well as setting an important model for healthy adult development. If Bill, for example, in the vignette was able to perhaps find a time to exercise during his day, and debrief himself on his way home from work, his attitude and demeanor once home might be more relaxed and loving, which would be beneficial for both Tom and Bill alike. 5. Use family dinnertime as an opportunity to spend time and give plenty of attention to your children and take this time to also secure them, but also talk about important subjects such as personal safety and helping others, but do not scare them. History teaches us that life has its ups and down. The better we prepare our children for this truism and promote a sense of perseverance and positivism, but also encourage their participation in making the world a better place, we are also securing our investment in a better future. Let’s not blow it.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Gluten-free! Is it a fad? BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT Do you follow a gluten-free diet? Why? Have you been tested for celiac disease or are you just self-diagnosing? I just read the results of a 2010 naPeggy Korody, RD, CLT tionwide survey by the market research firm Packaged Facts. They were asking people their top reason for purchasing gluten-free foods? Amazingly it was not because of celiac disease or even gluten intolerance. Almost half (46 percent) believe that gluten-free foods are â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthier.â&#x20AC;? Thirty percent believe they will help manage their weight, and 22 percent felt that gluten-free foods were â&#x20AC;&#x153;generally higher quality.â&#x20AC;? First letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at why people should not self-diagnose. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say that your problem really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t celiac and that you do not have intolerance to gluten. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you be interested to know your â&#x20AC;&#x153;trueâ&#x20AC;? problem? For example, other diseases that mimic celiac are Chrohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, peptic ulcer disease, and colon cancer. These conditions could go untreated while a person focuses on a gluten-free diet. Currently celiac affects only one percent of the population so chance are good that you could be suffering from something else.

Celiac is a chronic autoimmune disease triggered by gluten, which damages the lining of the small intestines. This damage blocks the ability to absorb certain nutrients, leading to malnutrition, even if you are eating what appears to be a healthy diet. To know if you do have celiac, a person needs a simple blood test and small intestinal biopsy while consuming a gluten diet for accurate results. If you are one of the 46 percent of people thinking gluten-free foods are â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthierâ&#x20AC;?, a study has shown that these foods have less fiber and vitamins, they are not fortified, and they are highly processed and high in fat. Therefore, you may be getting a lot of wasted calories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much for managing your weight! In 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed the following definition for â&#x20AC;&#x153;gluten freeâ&#x20AC;?: a food can contain no barley, rye, or wheat (or its relatives: spelt, kamut, and triticale), and gluten can comprise no more than 20 parts per million. The problem with that proposed definition it that it was never finalized. In fact, the FDA met again in May of this year but still was unable to come up with a definition for gluten-free products. An article in the Huffington Post this past May stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;the $2.6 billion (compared to $100 million in 2003) U.S. gluten-free product industry currently has quite a bit of wiggle room. The Washington Post explains that some companies â&#x20AC;&#x153;might fail to test their products or might allow small amounts of gluten but still label their foods as gluten-freeâ&#x20AC;?.â&#x20AC;?

Without a more scientific approach to gluten-free diets, those with celiac disease may not be taken seriously in restaurants and by the food industry because everyone thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifestyleâ&#x20AC;? choice. Even small amounts of gluten can damage the intestinal tract for these people, and it is a lifelong disorder which should be taken seriously. If you feel you may have this autoimmune disease, you might think about getting tested before giving up gluten products. Who should be tested? According to Joseph Murray a gastroenterologist and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;anybody who has a family member with celiac disease or symptoms that are suggestive of celiac disease â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like iron deficiency anemia, chronic diarrhea, bloating, gas, or abdominal pain. People with type 1 diabetes or autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis in the family also should be tested.â&#x20AC;? A gluten-free diet is difficult to follow. Gluten is hidden in many products such as, lipstick, beer (barley), bouillon cubes, cold cuts, hot dogs, sausage, gravy, rice mixes, soups, and

soy sauce. It can even be used as filler in supplements and medications. Words like â&#x20AC;&#x153;vegetable proteinâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wheat starchâ&#x20AC;? mean â&#x20AC;&#x153;glutenâ&#x20AC;?! There are a lot of junk gluten-free products, such as cakes, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, muffins, granola bars, etc. On the other hand there are healthy gluten-free food items such as: vegetables, fruits, beans, low-fat dairy, seafood, and poultry. Also, rice, potatoes, corn, oats, and quinoa are also gluten-free. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bottom line? Avoiding gluten does not fix every health problem. Celiac and gluten intolerance are serious issues and one should be tested before jumping on the gluten-free band wagon. I have a lot of empathy for people with celiac and gluten intolerance. It is difficult to be gluten-free and one must learn to become a detective. You must learn all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;namesâ&#x20AC;? for gluten. If you are extremely sensitive, eating at restaurants can be a problem due to cross-contamination, unless they have a separate kitchen and equipment. If you stick with some real food like veggies, fruits, beans, etc., which donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gluten

(never did, never will!), you will be providing your body with the fiber and nutrients it needs. Also, there are some grains out there you can use instead of wheat, such as quinoa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to go explore! Starting Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., I will be resuming my cooking classes, held at the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. Join me for: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Time to Tailgate! Fall is in the air and that must mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for fall sports and tailgating! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cook up some fun, healthy recipes including the required dip, finger foods, pasta salad, slider type sandwiches, and of course an easy to transport dessert!

Rancho Santa Fe Review

La Rosa’s Garden Pines are truly special trees. Their leaves have developed into clus- Frank La Rosa ters of needles 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.

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-

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.

Tips to transform cancer-related stress into strength is focus of free Scripps presentation Sept. 20 Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine will offer a free community presentation Tuesday, Sept. 20, to help cancer patients and their families and friends cope with emotional and physical hardships and transform their stress into strength.
