Residents voice concerns over office complex BY JOE TASH Representatives of a local developer gave an informational presentation about a proposed new office complex near the intersection of State Route 56 and Camino Del Sur before members of the Rancho Penasquitos Planning Board on Wednesday, Feb. 3. Residents of the area also were allowed to speak regarding the proposed project, the Preserve at Torrey Highlands. The project would include three office buildings of 4, 5 and 6 stories, respectively, and a seven-level parking structure. The project would include a total of 450,000 square feet of office space. Some community members are concerned because the project — south of SR 56 and on the west side of a planned extension of Camino Del Sur — would be surrounded on three sides by the Del Mar Mesa Preserve, a 900-acre parcel of open space earmarked for recreation and habitat preservation. The project is proposed by Cisterra Development, which is based in Carmel Valley. Currently, the developer is working on environmental studies, and the plan would need approval by the planning board and the San Diego City Council. Before the project could be built, the city would have to approve an amendment to the community plan for the area, as well as a zoning change. Cisterra bought the 11-acre parcel in June from the Catholic Diocese of San Diego, which at one time had planned to build a church on the property. The Feb. 3 discussion was held before the land use committee of the planning board. No date has been set for a hearing before the full planning board. But some residents were on hand to let board members know of their concerns. “What are the benefits to the community to change this plan? I don’t see the benefit when we have lands that we are stewards of,” said resident Mary Ann Eisele. “(The parcel) was never envisioned to be an employment SEE COMPLEX, A22

Pump track, parkour, play fields: Park gets approval from council BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Park and Recreation Council approved the plans for the new Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park and Recreation Center at its Feb. 2 meeting, bringing the community one step closer to a park with the first bicycle pump track in San Diego and one of largest turf sports fields in the city. “I’m truly impressed by the whole park,” said Marilee Pacelli, recreation council chair after the council’s unanimous vote of support. “I actually think the recreation center building itself is going to be truly amazing.” Manjeet Ranu, chair of the park design committee, said he is proud that his group was able to work at “rocket speed” with the help of their “fantastic consultants” Schmidt Design Group and Hanna Gabriel Architects. “We came up with a park that is loaded with features,” Ranu said.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Earl Warren Middle School has a new Spelling Bee champ. Eighth-grader Finn Mallery took first place in the Feb. 2 competition at the Solana Beach school. “I was really surprised,” Finn said. “I didn’t expect to make it that far.” Students had to first compete in their English classes. Two students from every class then went on to the school-wide competition.

A total of 40 students participated in the Spelling Bee. After an hour and a half and 16 rounds, Finn spelled “consciousness” to beat second place finisher Natalie Feldman. Anna Ginzberg came in third place. “It was just a really supportive environment,” Principal Adam Camacho said. “The kids were cheering each other on. It was a proud moment.” As a seventh-grader, Finn

competed last year in his English class, but he did not make it to the next level. This year, Finn studied for the event during a recent road trip to Mammoth Mountain. “I won my classroom, so I decided to start studying for the school one,” he said. “It’s useful to know how to spell things,” added Finn, who doesn’t know yet what he wants to do when he grows up. “It will help with getting a SEE BEE, A22

Guilty plea by motorist Del Mar council honors Del who caused fatal crash Mar Community Connections BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man who drove drunk and swerved into oncoming traffic on Carmel Valley Road, causing a crash that killed a woman in another car, pleaded guilty Feb. 3 to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury. Anthony Perez Rodriguez, 30, faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced March 4 for the death of Enid Mayer-Sheaf of Chula Vista. Rodriguez pleaded guilty on the day his trial was to begin. The 61-year-old victim was returning from a hospital where her mother-in-law had just died when the crash occurred about 6:30 p.m. last July 22 near Camino del Sur. A friend of the defendant testified in November that they took the Uber ride-hailing service to the Padres game from his home in Pacific Beach in anticipation of drinking to celebrate Rodriguez’s 30th birthday. Orlando Castro said he and Rodriguez had three or four beers at the game, then had a beer and a shot of tequila at a nearby bar after the game as they waited for a return Uber trip back to Castro’s home. We ` `were both intoxicated,’’ Castro

testified. Castro said that after Uber dropped them off in Pacific Beach, he got some pizza, came home and passed out on the couch. The witness said Rodriguez wasn’t there when he woke up a few hours later, noting that the last time he saw Rodriguez, the defendant was in no shape to drive. District Attorney Investigator Michael Edwards testified that according to the event data recorder on the defendant’s Fiat 500, Rodriguez was traveling eastbound at 51-52 mph -- faster than the victim’s Chevrolet Nova -- when it veered left into oncoming traffic and smashed into her sedan near the bicycle lane. Mayer-Sheaf died at the scene. Rodriguez’s blood-alcohol level was measured at .16 percent two hours after the crash. That would have meant his BAC was between .18 and .20 percent at the time of the crash, said Deputy District Attorney Lauren Ogata. The defendant would have consumed nine to 10 drinks to get to that level of intoxication, the prosecutor said. Rodriguez drank that day despite knowing he was going to drive, Ogata said. The prosecutor said that after the crash, Rodriguez blamed the victim, saying she came into his lane of traffic.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From preparing for disasters to providing transportation, Del Mar Community Connections provides programs and services that allow local seniors to live independently and safely in their homes. Recognizing the nonprofit’s important place in the community, Del Mar Mayor Sherryl Parks presented the organization with a proclamation during the Feb. 1 City Council meeting. “Del Mar Community Connections is a volunteer-driven organization providing programs and services that allow our maturing residents to live safely, vibrantly and independently in the homes they love,” Parks said. Founded in 1999, Del Mar Community Connections provides a variety of cultural, educational and social programs and services for community members. The organization offers in-home care management and transportation services for seniors, as well as weekly health discussions, brain fitness and computer tutoring programs, and legal and medical counseling services.

The organization’s Neighborhood Emergency Support Team prepares people for emergencies by connecting residents with temporary or long-term mobility issues with their neighbors. On behalf of the council, Parks acknowledged the organization and encouraged residents to recognize the positive impacts of nonprofit organizations in the city. “Del Mar Community Connections truly appreciates this recognition,” said Tom McGreal, board president of Del Mar Community Connections. “We have a very, very active and hardworking board. We have hundreds of volunteers who love the work they do providing very practical support for the community.” Del Mar Community Connections is the second nonprofit the council has honored since the start of the year. As the city’s new mayor, Parks said she plans to recognize local organizations throughout the year. The council presented the Del Mar Foundation with a proclamation in January.

that is present on a high school campus,” Sophia added. “The little things that people say are brushed off. I’m now able to confront those. Saying one little thing can actually make a difference.” Working together, the three teens are planning a “No Place for Hate” Week March 7-11 at Torrey Pines. During the weeklong campaign, the students hope to spread awareness through informational posters, speakers and other activities. “I hope that students will think twice about the things that they say, and eventually step up to biases that they hear themselves and not be a bystander anymore,” Cole said. “I just hope that they gain the knowledge that I did and the awareness that I have now, so they know how to confront different situations and make a difference like me, Cole and Sabrina have,” Sophia added. “I hope that will spread throughout our entire campus and we’ll actually have a place for no hate at our school.” Founded in 1913, the Anti-Defamation League is an international organization that aims to fight anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defend democratic ideals and protect civil rights for all. The organization’s National Youth Leadership Mission was founded in 1996 and became a national program in 1998 to prepare students as role models against bigotry, hate and prejudice. For more about the Anti-Defamation League and National Youth Leadership Mission, visit www.adl.org.

Torrey Pines students stand up to hate Three local high school students are standing up to hate, after participating in the Anti-Defamation League’s 18th annual Grosfeld Family National Youth Leadership Mission. Torrey Pines High School juniors Sophia Bond, Cole Chodorow and Sabrina Habchi joined more than 100 other teenagers Nov. 15-18 in Washington, D.C. to learn how to apply lessons learned from the Holocaust to their own lives and lead the fight against bigotry and hate at their schools and in their communities. “It was a really amazing program, honestly life changing,” said Sophia, 16. “When I came back, it was like I was looking at my high school through new eyes.” During the four-day trip, the National Youth Leadership Mission delegates spent time at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where they learned about the persecution of Jews and other minorities during World War II. The students, who came from 132 high schools across the country, also examined contemporary issues of bigotry, extremism and genocide, and engaged in discussions about how they could play a part in fighting prejudice. Students shared their personal experiences with bullying and discrimination during breakout sessions. They also heard presentations from Holocaust survivors and a Rwandan Genocide survivor. “We learned to identify biases, bigotry and

It was just fun to get to know other

people outside of the bubble of San Diego.” With new insight on the issues, Sophia, Cole and Sabrina are now hoping to make an impact on their campus, where they have witnessed hate. “At my high school, there’s always slurs as jokes that people just toss aside,” Cole said. “You don’t really understand all the hatred

New photo exhibit depicts early Del Mar BY KRISTINA HOUCK Get a glimpse of Old Del Mar with a new photography display at the Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair. Curated by the Del Mar Historical Society, the exhibit features about two dozen photos of early Del Mar, from the 1880s through the early 1990s. “History, unfortunately, is not very popular right now, but it’s still very important,” said Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar Historical Society. Located in the two center display cases outside The Gym in Del Mar, Brooks explained the exhibit depicts early Del Mar from 1885 through 1900, when the city was centered at 10th Street and Railroad Avenue, now Stratford Court. Among the photos, there are images of the Old Del Mar school, store and train station. There is also a model of the Alvarado House. Built in 1885, the Alvarado House was donated to the Del Mar Historical Society in 1985, when the new owner decided to build a bigger home on the lot at the foot of 10th Street, where the 600-square-foot house sat for a century. The house was moved to the city hall parking lot for four years, and then relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989. The second display case, Brooks explained, showcases “New Del Mar” in the early 1900s, with the city now centered at 15th Street and Camino del Mar. Among the photos, there are pictures of the construction of the railroad track on the bluffs, which replaced the 30-year-old track on Railroad Avenue, as well as Stratford Inn, which was later

renamed Hotel Del Mar until its closure in the 1960s. There is also an old “private property” sign that warned people the beach was for the residents of Del Mar. “It’s important to know where things came from, and know who you are,” Brooks said. “You’ve got to know where you came from to figure out where you want to go.” The photos are owned by the Del Mar Historical Society, which has collected, preserved and displayed the city’s historical facts, artifacts and properties since it was founded in 1985. The society has roughly 3,000 pictures, most of which have since been digitized. Dayna Carroll dedicated the display in memory of her life partner, Helen Montgomery-Drysdale, and in tribute to Herbert Turner, builder of Southfair. The late Montgomery-Drysdale of Del Mar was known for her photographs of film stars, jazz musicians and thoroughbreds during her 50-year career. She and Turner, a local artist and architect, became lifelong friends. Montgomery-Drysdale mounted many photo exhibits at the Herbert B. Turner Gallery and at the Turner-built Del Mar cable studio until she died in 2013. With a donation from Carroll, Del Mar Historical Society will feature a new display at the gallery every few months. The current photos will be on display through June 1. The Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar. For more about the Del Mar Historical Society, visit www.delmarhistoricalsociety.org.

The photos will be on display through June 1.

Accomplished Del Mar educator honored with book BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a long list of accomplishments and a lasting legacy in the world of higher education, it’s no surprise that Del Mar’s Dr. Marvalene Hughes was recently honored with a biographical book. Translated in English, the book is called, “World Women University President: Dr. Marvalene Hughes.” The book, which is written in Mandarin and is part of a series on women university presidents around the world, covers Hughes’ childhood through her decades-long career. The book is written by Dr. Yunrong Han from the Communication University of China in Beijing and Dr. Hong Dai from Dillard University in New Orleans. “There have been other things written, but to have another country do it is a very, very special honor,” Hughes said with a smile. “But I wish I could speak Mandarin. That’s the only thing in my educational career that I consider to be my shortfall.” Hughes has worked in higher education for more than four decades. Born in Alabama, Hughes was one of nine children. Her father was an entrepreneur and farmer. Her mother was an elementary school principal. “They were just smart people,” she said. With a passion for education like her mother, Hughes earned a doctorate in administration and counseling from Florida State University, after studying at Tuskegee University, New York University and Columbia University. She started her career as an associate professor in the early 1970s at Eckerd College, a private liberal arts college in Florida. After a couple of years, Hughes relocated to the West Coast, where she settled in Del Mar. She served as a counselor and professor at San Diego State University, eventually becoming director of counseling services and placement. She worked at the university for 14 years until

Hughes served as associate vice president for student affairs at Arizona State University for two years before becoming vice president for student affairs at the University of Toledo for another two years. In 1990, she became vice president for student affairs and vice provost and professor of educational psychology at the University of Minnesota, where she worked for four years. Hughes became the first black and the first female president of California State University, Stanislaus, where

she served for 11 years. During her tenure she tripled the university’s capital construction, expanded enrollment and was awarded Legislators’ Choice for President of the Year. “I enjoy being able to impact people in positive ways and see the results,” Hughes said. “You can do that at best, on the university level, as president. You can see it in the classroom, but when you become president, you can see it walking around.” In 2005, and just one month prior to Hurricane Katrina, Hughes became the first female president of Dillard University, a historically black liberal arts college in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina destroyed the university. During her time at Dillard, Hughes raised more money than had been raised in the history of its existence. Through fundraising, the university reconstructed all the previously existing buildings and built two new buildings. Upon leaving Dillard in 2011, Hughes submitted an application to the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities and was awarded $25 million, which was permanently deposited in the university’s endowment. During this period, she also wrote a proposal and trained more than 50 mentees who were placed in presidencies under her leadership. In 2010, she was named Mentor of the Year from a pool of more than 3,500 university presidents in the United States. “I had done a lot for presidents, nationally,” said Hughes, who moved back to Del Mar in 2012. Throughout her career, Hughes has been very involved in a number of associations and organizations advancing higher education. Among those, she has been a frequent participant and speaker at the World Women University Presidents Forum. The Communication University of China launched the World Women University Presidents Forum in 2001 to bring women university presidents from all over the world SEE BOOK, A22

Former 22nd Ag. board president shares insights 10 QUESTIONS Local resident Frederick Schenk – a longtime partner with San Diego-based law firm CaseyGerry – concentrates his law practice on products liability, serious personal injury and asbestos litigation. His is also keenly focused on giving back to his community, and recently finished a two-year term as volunteer president of the Board of Directors for 22nd District Agricultural Association (San Diego County Fair Board). Schenk, appointed to the board by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011, has a longtime association with the San Diego County Fair Board, and was appointed previously by former Governor Gray Davis, serving from 2002 to 2006. While Schenk has finished his fair board presidency, he will continue to serve on the Board of Directors until Jan. 2018. In this Q & A, he addresses some key successes achieved during his tenure, upcoming plans for the fairgrounds and some challenges the board may face. What accomplishments are you most proud of during your tenure as board president? I had the honor of serving as the chair of the 22nd District Agricultural Association for the past two years while working with a very effective and hardworking board – and was very proud and appreciative of their voluntary service. Also, I was very fortunate to work with a team of professionals that are considered amongst the best in the industry

and for whom I have great admiration. During this time, we saw some very significant events and long-term changes take place. Last summer, we partnered with the City of San Diego to bring to our county a fair theme that honored the Panama-California Exposition which took place in Balboa Park beginning in 1915. It was a popular tribute to this world exposition and we drew over 1.5 million people to the fairgrounds during the month of June. We also approved and made major alterations to both the turf and dirt tracks in order to make the racing facility safer for horses and jockeys, as well as accommodate an increasing number of horses. These vital changes allowed us to qualify for selection as the site for the 2017 Breeders Cup – which will be a tremendous opportunity to

showcase San Diego in the global horse racing community while drawing spectators from around the world. I am also pleased that we were able to attract Kaaboo to the fairgrounds in 2015. This was a new venture for our community and one which has the potential to become a premier fall music and entertainment event for the county for many years to come. It drew attendees from across the United States and brought music talent from around the world to our outdoor and indoor stages for tens of thousands to enjoy. We expect that next year, the attraction will draw even greater attention and that the entertainment will exceed last year’s premier engagement. I am also very proud of what we have done to expand the educational opportunities for the children who attend the fair. We provide unique agricultural and livestock experiences as well as healthy eating education for children from across San Diego and beyond. Through the Don Diego Scholarship Fund, we offer the "Plant Grow Eat" educational events which provide buses for children who cannot otherwise afford to attend the fair. Additionally, fair employees visit schools and teach children about agriculture and healthy eating. What goals would you like to see the fair board accomplish in the future? Ideally, I would like to see our fairgrounds increase the number of people who are able to access our magnificent property during peak seasons while lowering the need for automobile traffic to the grounds. I hope that in the near future, we will be able to

bring a seasonal rail stop to the property where the current right of way exists. We are working with SANDAG and other interested communities to find a way to achieve that goal. It would be located within the North County Transit District (NCTD) right-of-way and the platform would extend 1,000 feet to accommodate 10-car passenger trains, including the NCTD COASTER and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner. Also, we need to refurbish and update existing buildings in order to accommodate the future needs of both people and the animals at the fairgrounds. The master plan includes these changes -- but much of what we hope to achieve depends on future funding. That remains the greatest challenge to phase in the many improvements we hope to achieve. What are the plans for replacing the exhibit halls — how much will it cost and how will it be financed? Demolition and replacing the exhibit halls are part of our Master Plan. There is no set time to start -- and all would depend on our ability to finance the project. The cost of replacing is estimated in today’s dollars to be in excess of $100 million to $150 million, depending on design and amenities. Financing is not discussed as part of the Master Plan. Given our existing debt service, environmental obligations and the decline in racing revenue, financing will be a challenge. What are the plans for converting the Surfside Race Place?

American Legion Post 416 experiencing resurgence BY JARED WHITLOCK The San Dieguito American Legion Post 416 found itself cornered two years ago. Not by enemies, but by time: Its long-time headquarters in downtown Encinitas was crumbling with no end in sight, its membership was aging and its funds were dwindling. Just when the future looked bleak, a new team of concerned Post 416 members took the reins of the veterans service organization in the summer of 2014 and charted a new course. By all accounts, they’ve been wildly successful. Post 416 has added almost 200 new members since June 2014 — the fastest growth rate among American Legion posts in Southern California during this period. All told, Post 416 counts about 450 members among its ranks. “A few years ago, we’d have a Post meeting and there might be five guys,” Rolf Ohnstad said. “Come in now and the room is full. This Post is the talk of all the American Legion at the local level and beyond.” Post Commander Steve Lewandowski credited a slew of new Post-initiated events with bringing in more members and also raising funds for the organization. Plus, the group has taken part in more community charity events as well as celebrations, with its float at the Encinitas Holiday Parade in December being a good example. “The word is getting out and veterans and others who didn’t know about us are coming out of the woodwork,” Lewandowski said. “We’ve really stepped up our outreach.”

JARED WHITLOCK

Brian Hall, David Lash, Steve Lewandowski, Rolf Ohnstad and Bob Wilson stand outside San Dieguito American Legion Post 416, which has made a comeback in the last two years thanks to a new direction. Recent special events hosted by Post 416 included a book signing with Lester Tenney, a Post member who survived the Bataan Death March in World War II, and a fundraiser for Post 416 in which Medal of Honor recipient Michael E. Thornton spoke. Thornton was in the area for another engagement, but agreed to donate his time to support Post 416’s Save Our Legion campaign, which calls for rebuilding its space.

Tucked away at 210 West F Street in Encinitas, Post 416 has been a community staple for local veterans and their families since 1932. One of the room’s walls is lined with pictures of past commanders, going back to the early 1930s. Today, the spot is the headquarters for a legion territory that runs from Carmel Valley to Oceanside and then inland areas like San Marcos and Rancho Santa Fe. But the Encinitas Post buildings are badly

in need of a renovation, a fact that was underscored more than two years ago when part of its east wall collapsed onto the sidewalk and street. Lewandowski said the account for the Save Our Legion campaign currently has more than $75,000, a sea change from three years ago when the group had almost no funds for repairs. In fact, the Post was losing money every year and on pace to close within three years. “New leadership came in and knew the current state of affairs was unacceptable. The attitude was we’re not going to sit around and wait for the place to close. We’ve been too vital for the community for too long, so by God, we’re going to draw a line in the sand,” Lewandowski said. Post 416 is currently led by 11 officers. “We’ve turned it around, I’m proud to say,” he said. Lewandowski noted that many don’t realize that membership is not only open to veterans, but also those currently in uniform and those who have family who were in the military. Brian Hall, a Marine Corps veteran, joked that he was the token young guy when he first joined Post 416.

Physician pens how-to guide to optimal health BY LINDA HUTCHISON Roddy Carter, M.D. advocates using technology to help us log 10,000 steps, five days a week, but as he explains, that’s just one part of his inspirational new book and overall message. In "BodyWHealth: Journey to Abundance," Carter shares his passion for teaching and encouraging others to achieve optimal health. A former physician and expert in sports medicine, Carter lays out a practical approach, based on science and honoring natural design, in his book. "Mother Nature is very clever, with its hormonal and chemical system," he said, noting, if we work with this natural order, evolutionary principles, we are that many steps closer to achieving health, happiness and prosperity. Carter outlines his advice in keys, which include exercise, nutrition, sleep, recreation, social interaction, overcoming excuses, believing in oneself and cultivating a sense of purpose. In other words, he is interested in total transformation, on all levels. A lover of technology, he said it's good for us to keep track of our exercise and food intact, using whatever gadgets and apps work for us, but not just for the logging of total miles or calories. “Those successful with weight-loss keep track of what they eat,” he explained. “This is not so much for the calories, but mindfulness at the plate, eating the right things." Carter's book and consulting practice emerged from both his personal transformation and professional journey. He said his interest in science and helping others began 10,000 miles away in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was born and earned his medical degree. He worked for years as a family physician and treating trauma

COURTESY

Dr. Roddy Carter patients. Raised by liberal parents who were both educators, he was at odds with the apartheid government, which he described as morally depraved. Nevertheless, he was faced with helping those who suffered physical violence working for change or living with violent aftermath. A sports-lover, Carter said he wanted to treat more than sickness and injuries. He earned a master's degree in sports medicine and founded the Centre for the Study of Exercise, Nutrition and Muscle Science at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. There he coached Olympic athletes and participated in research studies, helping test new treatments for conditions such as

exercise-induced asthma. This led to another leg in his journey, executive positions in the bio-tech and pharmaceutical industries. In 2001, he and his wife Karen, a teacher, and their four children (two sons and two daughters) moved to Princeton, New Jersey for what was to be a three-year assignment. They decided to stay. Carter quickly rose to the top of his field, becoming CEO of WellGen. "By outward appearances, I was successful," he said. “But a few years ago, I began to feel as if something was missing. I was working six days a week and I felt that life was rushing by." He also wasn't happy with how he felt or looked — older than his years, overweight and out of shape, not the strong, lean athlete he used to be. “That’s when I realized a major reboot was in order,” he said. He began applying his professional knowledge to his own life. "There were two of us: the physician walking alongside the rebooting Roddy, using science and watching Roddy develop a healthy lifestyle." He tried to keep the physician a compassionate, rather than a finger-wagging one. During this transformative time, he made several discoveries beyond the physical body, he said. Wealth became "whealth," meaning the fullest possible life — physically, mentally and emotionally. “Health is our greatest wealth,” he said. Also during this time, two of his four children began attending college in California and the Carters moved to La Jolla. It was the right location for launching his new book and career as a life coach and lecturer, he said, "I liked the lifestyle and it was part of my reboot and dedication to life.

Patty Contreras receives Dollars for Scholars Award In recognition of her philanthropy with the Dollars for Scholars program, Carmel Valley resident Patty Contreras recently received an award at the San Diego County Annual Scholarship Showcase. Contreras, a real estate agent at Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, was honored for establishing the “Dream Fund” at Canyon Crest Academy Dollars for Scholars. The ceremony took place on Jan. 20 at the University of San Diego; event sponsors were Mission Federal Credit Union and Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. The Dream Fund is the first and only renewable scholarship offered by CCA Dollars for Scholars. Contreras has pledged to give $1,000 per year for four years to a student selected two years ago and currently in her second year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ron Caruthers, founder of Duceras, a Carlsbad-based college preparation and planning support group, has partnered with

Contreras to fund the scholarship. Contreras also serves on the board of CCA Dollars for Scholars. She created the Dream Fund in tribute to Dr. Maurice M. Salter, her college mentor, advisor, and friend. Salter serves as chair of the UCLA Foundation Board of Directors and its executive committee. His areas of research and interest include the job market for doctoral degree recipients, the characteristics of

college environments, how students choose colleges, and how they finance their higher education. Contreras stated, “I am passionate about giving kids opportunities to pursue higher education. My family and I have lived in Carmel Valley for 20 years. All three of my children have graduated from local public schools and attended college. I was able to attend USC, not because I had the money for tuition, but because Dr.

Real Estate Trio joins

Salter extended a helping hand, and his kindness allowed me to follow my dreams.” “We see the need for scholarship assistance every day and right now there’s an urgent need for more financial aid,” said Alexis Larky, president of CCA Dollars for Scholars. We need dedicated people like Patty to keep doing what they’re doing. Whether it’s $5 or $10,000 it doesn’t matter, our young people need support for higher education.” Dollars for Scholars is a parent volunteer, community-based scholarship organization. The mission of the affiliate at Canyon Crest Academy is to recognize seniors for their involvement in a broad range of activities and interests during their high school career, and support their pursuit of continuing education, from four-year degrees to technical training program. It relies on school and community support to raise local dollars for scholarship funds.

Local artist thrives as performer, painter and sculptor BY JOE TASH As an artist, Sholeh Ashtiani displays great versatility. The local resident, a mother of three who emigrated to the U.S. from Iran in 1979 to attend college, is a singer, actress, sculptor, painter and photographer. Many of her talents will be on display in a new reality television show about dating, called "The Romance," which airs at 10 p.m. on Friday nights on Time Warner and Cox Channel 4. The first of the show's 12 episodes aired on Jan. 15 and the series will conclude in April. Ashtiani's singing can be heard at the end of each show, as she performs a song called "Stand Your Ground." Her singing, paintings and sculpture will also be featured in two of the episodes. The show is set in San Diego, and features 10 local men and 14 local women as they date and pursue romance. Its creators have said that it is intended to give a more realistic portrayal of dating than some of the network reality shows such as "The Bachelor." Rather than living in a mansion and traveling to exotic destinations such as Bora Bora or Tahiti, participants on The Romance have real-life responsibilities such as work and children, according to the show's web site. The episodes were taped in San Diego at restaurants, a gym, a winery and Black's Beach, among other locations. One episode is taped at a gallery during a reception. Ashtiani sings in the background and her paintings and sculpture are on display. In another episode, she said, her art

She herself has been fascinated with dancers and their craft throughout her life, and her first job out of college, in Columbus, Ohio, was photographing performers at a local theater. She paints in oil, and also pursues realistic themes. She has shown her work at galleries and in public spaces both in California and Arizona. Currently, several of her sculptures can be seen at a gallery at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. She works in a studio at her family's home in Encinitas. She begins her sculptures in clay, attaching the moldable substance to a metal armature, or skeleton. Once the model is

As a singer, Ashtiani said, she prefers to sing rock and pop songs along the lines of such artists as Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Kelly Clarkson. One early influence was the Iranian pop singer Faegheh Atashin, also known as "Googoosh." "She was a big influence, I love all her songs," said Ashtiani, who sings in both Farsi and English. While Ashtiani said her art is not closely linked to her Persian culture, her moniker as an artist, "Flame," comes from the translation of her name, Sholeh. After graduating from the Columbus College of Art and Design with a degree in illustration and photography, Ashtiani

continued to live in Ohio until the early 2000s. Her family then moved to California — Encinitas specifically — in search of a warmer climate. She has three sons. The oldest studies filmmaking at Santa Monica College, while her two younger sons are students at San Dieguito Academy. Recently, she has exhibited her sculptures at Encinitas City Hall, and she also entered paintings and sculptures in competitions at the San Diego County Fair, where she won three awards. She hopes exposure from The Romance will boost her career as both a performer and artist. For more information about Ashtiani and her work, visit her web site at www.flametheartist.com.

Celebrate Recovery helps with hurts, habits, hang ups New local chapter opens in Carmel Valley

BY KAREN BILLING A new local chapter of Celebrate Recovery has found its way to Carmel Valley, hoping to provide peace and serenity for those who are hurting and in need of healing. Celebrate Recovery has over 20,000 church locations all over the world and since the beginning of the year has been offered at Grace Point Church in Carmel Valley, Seacoast Community Church in Encinitas and North Coast Calvary Church in Carlsbad. Rick Hust, support and senior ministries director at Grace Point Church, was responsible for bringing Celebrate Recovery to the area. As part of his role as a ministries director is finding new programs for the church, he attended a three-day conference at Saddleback Church in Mission Viejo, where Celebrate Recovery was launched 25 years ago by Rick Warren and John Baker. Hust said in his heart he felt that the program would be something good for the church and the community as a whole and was also something he could be passionate about leading. Grace Point was able to partner with Seacoast and North Coast Calvary to bring the valuable program to the area — there are 20 Celebrate Recovery groups in San Diego and none were in this corner of the county. “All of us in one way or another suffer through bad hang ups, habits or some type of hurt,” Hust said, noting issues include anger, substance abuse, depression, grief, gambling and other family problems. “In our area, there a lot of people suffering through hurts, hang-ups and habits and Celebrate Recovery is a fantastic offering to

Bestselling author Michelle Gable to speak at DM Library The Friends of the Del Mar Library will welcome back local author Michelle Gable, author of The New York Times bestseller “A Paris Apartment,” for an author talk on Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 6 p.m. Gable’s second novel, “I’ll See You in Paris,” (published by Thomas Dunne Books) will be released on Feb. 9. The Del Mar Branch Library is located at 1309 Camino Del Mar. For more information, call the library at (858) 755-1666. For information about San Diego County Library and other events, visit www.sdcl.org.

TPHS Scholarship Fund accepting applications The Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund is now accepting scholarship applications from TPHS students with plans of attending college. “TPHS Scholarship Fund awards TPHS students $500 - $2,000, depending on the type of scholarship and the amount of

people in the community. It’s an incredible program.” The nine-month program is ongoing and meets once a week. It is a “biblical and balanced” program, featuring both the 12 Steps and 8 Principles based on the Beatitudes, meant to clear a path to hope, freedom, sobriety, healing and the opportunity to give back one day at a time. The actual step program meets once a week and there is another component, testimony and sharing where people share what’s been going on that week and learn about tools and resources to help get through those issues. People can go one to two times a week if they want. Hust co-leads the program with Celebrate Recovery’s state representative Larry Erickson. There is no entry fee but participants do pay for materials — all you have to do is show up and be open to change, Hust said. “Everybody is suffering from something, maybe we don’t even know it ourselves because we pack it down. This program helps you look inward and ask yourself is there something you just can’t get past, causing stress and anxiety and not allowing you to be the productive type of person you would ultimately want to be,” Hust said. “This is a program to get you where you want to be, to celebrate and recover from it.” The group meets Thursdays from 6:30-8 p.m. at Grace Point Church and Thursdays at 7-9 p.m. at North Coast Calvary Church. The step studies are held at Seacoast Church on Tuesdays at 7-9 p.m. for men and Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m. for women. For more information and church addresses, visit gracepointsd.com, northcoastcalvary.org under ministries, seacoast-church.org or celebraterecovery.com.

Students earn honors, scholarships at GLC Leadership Conference

LAUREN NATALIE PHOTOGRAPHY

Santa Fe Christian students Maddy Burich and Olivia Schleicher.

SFC Middle School students help homeless in San Diego Partner with New Vision Church to perform service projects, help underprivileged Sixty of Santa Fe Christian’s (SFC) Middle School students spent Jan. 23 and Jan. 24 serving the homeless, impoverished, and disenfranchised on the streets of downtown San Diego. Partnering with New Vision Church, students performed service projects, and helped the underprivileged. Hundreds of people came to New Vision’s food distribution center, where SFC students distributed groceries. Students packed bags with food, water and socks then took the filled bags to the streets to distribute to the homeless. SFC Middle School students also cleaned and organized bins for food distribution. This is the third year that SFC

Middle School has worked with New Vision, thanks to the coordination efforts of SFC Middle School teacher Mark Andriany. “I am grateful for the leadership and vision of Mark Andriany who continues to expand our partnership with New Vision Church and provide amazing community service experiences for our Middle School students,” said Middle School Principal Dr. Todd Deveau. New Vision Christian Fellowship follows up on connections made by mission teams to provide ongoing, year-round ministry and maximize the valuable resources coming into the community through urban mission trips. The hope is that by working together, kids will change their perspectives about homelessness, serve those in need, and see themselves as the hands and feet of Jesus in this world.

Torrey Pines High rugby wins third match in a row BY TIM PICKWELL Ed Burke Stadium — It took two thirds of the way through the abbreviated high school rugby season, but the Torrey Pines Varsity Rugby Club put together its most complete game, defeating Del Norte High School, 25-17, on Jan. 29.

Torrey Pines was fast and organized on defense, dominated the line-outs, and had a productive offense that used six different players to score on its way to building a commanding 25-5 lead. Flanker Jackson Baere (Jr.) opened the SEE RUGBY, A22

The position is then graphically matched with various makes and models of bicycles using Moment’s proprietary software. Moment’s certified technicians help the customer make an educated decision on the best model and setup for their unique needs. Finally, each bike is customized to match the rider's unique position, making riding all the more enjoyable. With a backyard rich in more than 830 bike paths and trails, Moment Bicycles at The Village will provide the area’s bicycling enthusiasts the essentials needed for an enhanced ride – one tailored to their experience, preference and biomechanics. “Our fit first service is designed to meet each cyclists’ unique needs,” Lyons said. “The Village is an ideal location for us to expand our services and bring an exceptional experience to the community’s cyclists.

OUR READERS WRITE Hypocrisy is back! It must be election season Letters published from Mary Jane Boyd and Marion Dodson unfairly and inaccurately criticize my Jan. 27 vote against Council member Ginger Marshall’s nominee to the City’s Budget & Finance Commission. Their letters reveal their hypocrisy, and mislead the public. These two long-time political operatives complain that I was required to vote to approve Ms. Marshall’s nominee. This is not accurate. At the same time, they didn’t complain that Ms. Marshall, their political ally, voted against Council member Nichols’ nominee to the same Commission. Clearly, they have a double standard and their criticism is not honest. Each Council member is entitled to nominate one candidate to this Commission. The other Council members are to exercise their judgement, then vote on those nominations. A majority must approve the nominee. I have a duty to carefully consider nominees to protect the interests of all residents. I take this seriously, and refuse to abdicate my responsibility in response to those who have a political axe to grind. I voted “no” on Ms. Marshall’s nominee, one of two candidates for the position, because her nominee was a “no show” at the meeting so I was unable to ask her questions. I stated publicly that I could support Ms. Marshall’s nominee if the nominee showed up at an upcoming Council meeting to respond to questions. Why did Ms. Marshall vote “no” for Mr. Nichols’ nominee to this Commission? His nominee is a proven, highly respected member of the Budget & Finance Commission, and a CFO. Ms. Marshall never offered the public an explanation. It appears that Ms. Boyd and Ms. Dodson want you to ignore the facts. Also, based on their letters, they want me to abandon my duty to the community to vet candidates. Mary Jane Boyd and Marion Dodson are my political opponents. The majority of my Council colleagues and I support the protection of neighborhoods, encourage respectful and thoughtful development, and

work to ensure Solana Beach maintains its beachside character. Ms. Boyd and Ms. Dodson have continually supported development at almost any cost. They don’t appear to care how it affects you or our community. Massive buildings blocking your view? Ruin the vibe we love for the sake of a big box store? They apparently are not concerned. The letters by Ms. Boyd and Ms. Dodson distort the facts to create false and misleading impressions and phony issues. They ignore the fact that their ally, Ms. Marshall, did exactly what they criticize me of doing. This double standard is not acceptable. They use these tactics to advance their political goals—to take control of the Council this election, enabling them to subject our community to unchecked and inappropriate development. When campaign season starts this year, when you see their names, remember their tactics, and what they stand for. Lesa Heebner, Council Member City of Solana Beach; SANDAG Board member; Chair SANDAG Regional Planning Committee, LOSSAN Board member

Marshall recommended a new Budget & Finance Commissioner, to replace a highly experienced one. However, Ms. Marshall’s nominee did not attend the meeting, so I was unable to ask her about her commitment to the work of the Commission, her availability to serve – and other important questions. 4. Rather than vote for Ms. Marshall’s (absent) nominee, and jettison a long-serving Commissioner who has intimate knowledge of the City’s finances, I voted against approval. Bottom Line: I evaluate each Commission candidate based on their qualifications, integrity, and ability to fulfill their duties. And cast my vote accordingly. Not blindly vote for any nominee forwarded by Ms. Marshall, as Ms. Boyd and Ms. Dodson would prefer. My obligation will always be to the City of Solana Beach and each of its residents. Peter Zahn Deputy Mayor City of Solana Beach

My obligation will always be to the City of Solana Beach and each of its residents

Contrary to misleading claims in letters from Mary Jane Boyd and Marion Dodson last week, council members Heebner and Zahn were not required to blindly approve council member Ginger Marshall’s nominee to the Budget & Finance Commission (BFC) on Jan. 27. Criticism by these two is not right. Council members have a duty to evaluate nominees to Commissions before they vote; they’re not required to approve every nominee. Since Marshall’s nominee didn’t show up to the meeting, Heebner and Zahn couldn’t ask questions and get information from the nominee. This prevented them from performing their obligation to evaluate nominees. Interestingly, at the very same meeting Marshall voted against council member Nichols’ nominee to that same Commission. Yet, Boyd and Dodson didn’t criticize Marshall. Why the double standard? Because they are political allies. They have a political agenda with an eye to the upcoming November election. Also, Boyd and Dodson ignore Marshall’s cronyism. For example, at the December Council meeting Marshall nominated her

I am responding to inaccurate and politically motivated comments published last week. Ms. Mary Jane Boyd and Ms. Marion Dodson criticize me for not voting for Councilmember Ginger Marshall’s nominee to the Budget & Finance Commission, asserting I had an obligation to vote for Ms. Marshall’s nominee. This is false. Let me cut through the political smokescreen and bring a few facts into the conversation: 1. All Commission nominees require approval by the City Council. This is required by the municipal code, despite Ms. Boyd’s and Ms. Dodson’s assertions otherwise. 2. Solana Beach’s strong financial condition did not occur by happenstance. In addition to City Council and staff, volunteer experts who serve on the Budget & Finance Commission have assisted. 3. At the Jan. 27 City Council meeting Ms.

Why the double standard?

OUR READERS WRITE friend to the View Assessment Commission (VAC), but he failed to attend that meeting. Both Heebner and Zahn didn’t vote for that nominee for the same reasons mentioned above: they had questions for the nominee and wanted to confirm the nominee’s qualifications and commitment. Heebner and Zahn voted for Marshall’s nominee at the next meeting when her nominee attended and answered questions from the Council. Most importantly, when Marshall made that VAC nomination in December, she refused to consider another well-qualified candidate who was present at the meeting to answer questions from the Council. Marshall said she did not want to consider the other candidate because she didn’t “know” that candidate and her nominee is her “friend.” Marshall’s refusal to consider the other well-qualified candidate for the VAC and the BFC left a vacancy on each Commission. Apparently, Marshall prefers a vacancy if she can’t appoint her friends. Qualification for serving on a Commission has never been and should never be whether the candidate is a friend. Marshall has it wrong. Cronyism is not in the best interest of the City. Why do Boyd and Dodson look the other way and allow Marshall to introduce cronyism into our City government? It’s political. In the last election they supported the opponents of Heebner and Zahn. Heebner and Zahn stand for protecting neighborhoods, and they promote thoughtful development that enhances our community. Clearly, the facts do not square with Boyd and Dodson’s complaints. They prefer Heebner and Zahn ignore their duty as Council members. Do not be misled by Boyd and Dodson’s distortion of the facts and their manufactured issues. Our community deserves better than hypocrisy and cronyism. Bart Ziegler, PhD, Solana Beach

Council members have the prerogative to vote ‘no’ In the Feb. 4 edition of your paper there is an article about the Solana Beach City Council appointing citizens to commissions. In the letter to the editor section, several letters are critical of the fact that the appointment of Judith Hamilton to the Budget and Finance Commission was voted down by Lesa Heebner and Peter Zahn. The article continues to say that Councilwoman Ginger Marshall voted against the appointment of Jeff Anderman to another spot on the commission and goes on to say that she again voted “no” on appointments to the Climate Action Committee. Why is it wrong for Lesa Heebner and Peter Zahn to vote “no” and it is okay for Marshall to vote “no” twice? In regard to Wally Oliver’s letter about the appointment of Paul Bishop to the View Assessment Commission in 2010, I was the person who was voted onto the Commission when Paul’s name was voted down on the original ballot. The issue was not that the Council voted “no” on Paul’s appointment, but that my name was offered by other members of the Council, not by Mr. Kellejian. It was not that the members’ vote “no” on Mr. Kellejian’s candidate was wrong. It was that Mr. Kellejian was not given an opportunity to choose someone else. I am sure that if Ms. Heebner and Mr. Zito voted “no” to

the appointment of Judy Hamilton, they had their reasons. That is their prerogative as council members. Pat Coad, Solana Beach

Canyon issues an ongoing job and will continue to be addressed Carol Ratchuk’s recent letter points at stacked piles of cut vegetation that need removing near the Sword Way trailhead in Gonzales Canyon. The Jan. 30 article, “Friends of Gonzales Canyon improves trail in Carmel Valley,” to which Carol Ratchuk is responding, announces a stewardship event planned for Feb. 20, a routine, third Saturday (9 a.m.) event that the Friends of Gonzales Canyon volunteers have been leading for many years. The debris will be addressed. Stewardship and maintenance of our canyon open spaces is an ongoing, huge job in dozens of canyons throughout the city. The City Open Space Division is working effectively to coordinate with the incredible volunteer energy generated by residents and youth that love their neighborhood canyons and the natural open spaces. For two years now, in concert with the City’s Ranger/Canyons program, San Diego Canyonlands, a non-profit, and hundreds of volunteers have been culling and removing sapling eucalyptus and acacia, growing out of control off of Sword Way. Removal of these and other invasive weeds and dead vegetation is important for fuel reduction and benefits our natural ecology as well. Unbeknownst to Carol, SD Canyonlands had also scheduled two corporate volunteer days this month to continue removing the aforementioned vegetation. The Friends will have their event in March and in April the Friends will host the annual I Love a Clean San Diego “Creek to Bay” cleanup. At all these events, volunteers will load huge, 40-cubic-yard dumpsters with cut vegetation, dead limbs and other debris. Regarding the planting of “baby plants” to replace “perfectly good green shrubs” that Carol mentions...this is a local Girl Scout project where invasive, non-native plants such as acacia, were removed and replaced by native plants to benefit our native wildlife. Other non-native plants routinely removed are mustard, crown daisy, Russian thistle (or tumble weed) and non-native grasses. These invasive plants are annuals that grow quite fast (3-4 feet tall) and die leaving behind dry, flashy fuels that can spread a fire quickly. Our native vegetation grows slowly and doesn’t die on an annual basis. Carol also points out that the utility access road is washed out due to the rains. The need for repair is beyond what volunteers can do but we have been doing what we can to maintain the trails and plan trail improvements. Regarding access for fire fighters, they no longer drive into canyons to battle fires, but instead fight them from the canyon rims. Ms. Ratchuk’s concern about fire and needed stewardship is very important. In collaboration with the City Rangers, SD Canyonlands and the Friends of Gonzales Canyon will continue to provide ongoing stewardship for years to come. Eric Bowlby Executive Director, SD Canyonlands eric@sdcanyonlands.org

Watermark changes Del Mar zoning laws Watermark has again submitted new plans for their huge, “One Paseo Jr.” -like, ugly, out-of- character multi-building compound for 48 families to live in, on the corner of Jimmy Durante Blvd. and San Dieguito Dr. Additionally, since Watermark could never be built within the confines of our protective zoning laws, they propose to take over that property, create their own zoning district/“Specific Plan,” thereby being able to create their own zoning laws which would then violate all our notions of density, FAR, set-backs, height restrictions, etc. Del Mar zoning laws and General/Master Plan have regulated and maintained our world- famous beach community resort as a most special, low-density, calm environment, which people worldwide come to visit and wish to live. Now, Watermark proposes to change that which we cherish. These developers want only to make maximum dollar return on investment, regardless of consequences to our community. Del Mar citizens need to stand together, object and unite against this project. Time to unite is now, be in touch, receive community new letters, scheduled meetings and workshop information. Please send your email address to: delmarhillside@yahoo.com Arnold Wiesel, President, Del Mar Hillside Community Association

Kudos to students, perhaps they can help with other CV traffic issues Kudos to the Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Conservatory for the Humanities students for taking on the traffic issue at Pacific Highlands Ranch and Canyon Crest Academy. (“CV Board approves students’ traffic plan,” Carmel Valley News - Feb. 4, 2016) Perhaps the students would like to fly their drone over to the entrance of the Pacific Highlands Ranch Community and the southbound intersection of Pacific Highlands Ranch Parkway and Carmel Valley Road. Cars are making illegal right-hand turns from the center lane onto Carmel Valley Road. While there is no signage at the light or on the side of the road, the center lane is clearly painted with a straight arrow only. Cars in the right-hand lane are given the arrow to either go straight or turn right. However, cars are turning right from the center lane cutting off cars that have the right to go straight into the shopping center or turn right onto Carmel Valley Road. It is especially problematic in the morning when traffic is heavy with cars, bicycles, and pedestrians (mostly students) crossing the street. It is only a matter of time before an accident takes place. Perhaps the police need to begin to monitor the intersection or the traffic light requires signage indicating what you are allowed to do. Thank you. Maureen C. Kendrick, Carmel Valley

FROM SCHENK, A6 much will it cost and how will it be financed? The 90,000-square-foot facility averaged 3,000 people at its peak years, during the very early nineties. Unfortunately, horseracing, and in particular satellite wagering, has seen a continuous decline each year over the last 20 years. Today we average less than 400 patrons a day. The district has been investigating other uses that would complement our mission statement and produce needed revenue for years to come. We are currently studying the possibility of a 1,900- seat concert venue along with a restaurant/craft beer tasting room, with banquet space and also still incorporating satellite wagering. That cost could reach as much as $15 million. A study is due out on the economic impact of the Fairgrounds, and how the Fairgrounds impact Del Mar

Powell, is a trend that has taken off in the mountain states and in Northern California. Obstacles called “rollers” allow riders to gain speed — by “pumping” the obstacles, riders can develop basic bike-handling skills and get a fun form of exercise. “It’s really exciting and we will be the first in San Diego to do it,” Powell said. There will be a half-mile walking and jogging loop with exercise stations around the park perimeter — runners will also be able to do speed work on the Pacific Trails Middle track when school hours are out.

FROM COMPLEX, A1 center,” she said. Lisa Ross, president of the Friends of Del Mar Mesa, said her group is awaiting the completed environmental impact report, but still is worried about how the project could affect the nature preserve. She also questioned the process, in which a developer can purchase property, then seek approval for an increase in density. “This is getting to be a One Paseo redux. Here we go again,” said Ross, referring to a controversial mixed-use project proposed to be built on Del Mar Heights Road. As for the Cisterra project, she said, “It’s bringing University City-style development right into the middle of a habitat preserve.” Jeff Brazel, of JVB Real Estate Advisors, who spoke on behalf of the developer at the Feb. 3 meeting, said afterward that the project fits in with other development planned for the area, such as Meridian, a

and Solana Beach. When will the study be out and what will it be used for? We expect the study to be released in March or April. For years, the two local cities have claimed a negative financial impact from fairgrounds activities. However, district staff believes just the opposite is true and trusts that the study will bear that out. Any insight on the new board president? We are very fortunate to have Russ Penniman as our incoming board chair. Russ has served on our board since 2003 and is its longest standing member. Last year, Russ played an invaluable role in shepherding our bond refinancing efforts which will save us money and serve the needs of the district for decades to come.

As the result of San Diego’s streamlined process to bring more parks to the city, the plan no longer has to go from the Carmel Valley board to the area committee — it will head straight to the San Diego Park and Recreation Board on Feb. 18 or March 17.

The Preserve is envisioned as an office campus, and the developer is seeking either one single large tenant, or a small number of tenants. Its amenities would include both indoor and outdoor gathering places positioned to take advantage of preserve views. “This is not your father’s cubicle,” he said. The development could actually help the environment by blocking off-trail access to sensitive areas such as vernal pools, Brazel said. The developer will also have to abide by stringent adjacency guidelines established by the city to protect the preserve, Brazel said.

To Your Health BY POULINA UDDIN, M.D.

Keep your heart healthy at every age

eart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Coronary heart disease is the most common form of heart disease, taking the lives of 370,000 Americans every year. It’s caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease, and nearly half of us have at least one of these three. More than 68 percent of adults are considered to be overweight or obese, another major risk factor. While heart disease is most prevalent in people 60 and older, it can begin to develop much earlier in life. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease affects more than 35 percent of people age 39 and older, and more than 10 percent of that age 20 to 39. That’s why it is so important to live a heart-healthy lifestyle at every age. Some guidelines, of course, should be followed regardless of age, such as eating a heart-healthy diet, staying active and not smoking. In addition to these overall guidelines, here are a few age-specific tips for keeping your heart healthy.

20s to 30s Establish a relationship with a physician (even if you are perfectly healthy) and have annual wellness exams, including blood pressure and cholesterol screenings. Know your family health history. Does heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes run in the family? Let your physician know so her or she can monitor you and recommend testing if necessary. Every day, 2,100 people in the United States age 18 and younger become daily cigarette smokers. If you started smoking as a teen, quit now. Ideally, you should be exercising regularly most days of the week. In addition to regular cardiovascular exercise, include strength training workouts to build muscle. More muscle mass burns more calories and, importantly, keeps the body agile and functional, increases bone density and helps prevent injury in later years. It is much more difficult to build muscle later in life. If you develop these good habits now, your body will thank you later. As you take on responsibilities such as a career and family, you may find your stress level increases, which also increases your heart disease risk. Now is a good time to explore stress management techniques that work for you, such as meditation, journaling, deep breathing or spending time in nature.

40s to 50s Maintain your cardiovascular and strength training workouts. It can be challenging to find time to exercise when you are working and raising a family, so make it a natural part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth or taking a shower. It is not a luxury, but a necessity. If you can’t take care of yourself and maintain your heath, you will not be able to take care of your family, career, etc. Regular exercise also will reduce your stress levels overall. Menopause may increase the risk of heart disease, so women should talk with their physicians about hormonal changes and their effect on heart health. See a doctor annually even if you feel fine. Women generally see their physicians for yearly well-woman exams, but men tend to put off going to the doctor unless they are ill, and miss out on important screening exams and check-ups. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Learn the warning signs of a heart attack and stroke. Women tend to have much more subtle heart attack symptoms than men, and may not experience severe chest pain or numbness.

60s and older Ask your physician about an ankle-brachial index test, which measures the pulses in your feet to help diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is a form of cardiovascular disease in which plaque builds up in the leg arteries. Metabolism tends to slow down with age, and you may be less active, so adjust your diet accordingly to maintain a healthy weight. People often think they are "too old" to exercise. In reality, it is lack of exercise and conditioning that contributes to the aging process. Those individuals who stay active age far more gracefully than those who are sedentary. Injuries are more common in this age group, so activities will naturally be modified; however there is no reason to stop exercising at any particular age. If nothing else, walk daily! Then work your way up. If you joints are too stiff for walking, try swimming. Consult your health care provider for ideas based on your particular interests and possible limitations. — Poulina Uddin, M.D., is a cardiologist with Scripps Clinic. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps Health.

How to WRECK Your Retirement with Aubrey Morrow CFP®

By overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care

LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

CCHS baseball players helping to build field of dreams

Boys are raising money to build sports center in Tijuana BY KAREN BILLING group of Cathedral Catholic baseball players are displaying the best kind of teamwork, banding together to help raise money to build a sports center for underprivileged children in Tijuana. The boys are hoping to raise $45,000 for Build a Miracle non-profit to improve the lives of youngsters in the Florido Anabel neighborhood of Tijuana. The teammates have committed to not only raising the funds but to helping complete the manual labor of building the facility. Rancho Santa Fe’s Jake Connolly, 15, is the only freshman in the group of players. The 10 other players who have stepped up to participate include CCHS sophomores Cade Brown, Jacob Allred, Jake Goddard, Trevor Magnett, Nick Nastrini, Danny Becerra, Brendan Mullen, Tommy Twomey, Jag Twigg and KC Cowan. The boys play together on the Cathedral Catholic Junior Varsity team as well as on the select travel baseball team, the San Diego SHOW. The players’ efforts were inspired in part by Nick’s older sister Jenna, a CCHS graduate who, in 2013, singlehandedly raised more than $14,000 for Build a Miracle to build and furnish a three-bedroom home for a family of seven that had previously been living in a one-room shack with a dirt floor and no indoor plumbing. The Build a Miracle home-building non-profit, based in Scripps Ranch, officially started in 2001 but its origins date back to the day the founders Chris and Julanne North met while painting an orphanage in Mexico in 1985. The couple was passionate about making a difference and community support, and donations

The CCHS boys and their Buddies in Tijuana. have allowed Build a Miracle to grow. On the strength of donations and hundreds of volunteer builders, the organization has now built 230 homes for families in Mexico, giving them a safe and decent place to live. They also provide education, trade schools and support for small businesses. The 11 boys in the group each aim to raise their share of the $45,000 fundraising goal. To help raise his money, Jake requested donations instead of gifts for Christmas and has about $500 to go before he meets his target, More than just handing over money, the boys have made real connections with the community they are serving — each of the

baseball players also has a “Buddy” at Build A Miracle. The team exchanged letters with their Buddies and before Christmas the boys got to meet them when they traveled to Tijuana, bearing gifts and engaging their Buddies in a game of soccer on the dirt field where they play now. “They won,” Jake said of their soccer-loving Buddies. Jake’s Buddy is a 9-year-old named Axel. “It was really fun to meet him and really cool to see the looks on their faces when they got their gifts,” Jake said. “Axel was proud of his soccer playing.” Once the Dons are done, the Buddies and hundreds of other children in Florido

Anabel will be able to play sports at the new Build A Miracle Sports Center, which will feature a full-service sport court, stadium seating, lighting and equipment. The sports center will give the kids a safe and fun place to play and as Jake said, “give them a dream to reach to.” “This is teaching me to appreciate what I have in life and to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way, including the opportunity to help others,” Jake said.

Solana Beach actress to co-star in ‘Rasheeda Speaking’ Play opens Feb. 19 at La Jolla Commons Theatre

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Longtime local actress June Gottleib is returning to the stage. The Solana Beach resident is co-starring in Vantage Theatre’s production of “Rasheeda Speaking” Feb. 19 through March 6 at La Jolla Commons Theatre. “I’ve been hesitant, at this point in my life, to take on too much theater, because it is time-consuming and I’ve got so many interests in life right now,” 78-year-old Gottleib said with a smile. “But this is an interesting play.” Set in the reception area of a Chicago medical clinic, Joel Drake Johnson’s off-Broadway play raises questions about the prevalence of racism. The roughly 90-minute play centers on friendly co-workers Ileen and Jaclyn. Tension escalates, however, when their employer, Dr. Williams, promotes Ileen and instructs her to document Jaclyn’s work habits. Gottleib plays Rose Saunders, a new patient of Williams, who unwittingly ignites the racial tension in the office. “This character is such fun to

play,” Gottleib said. “She’s sweet, charming, means well, but underneath all that, something else is simmering.” Rose is the latest character Gottleib has tackled in her second career as an actress. Gottleib became an artist by chance, after she and her late husband relocated to San Diego from Michigan in 1990. Gottleib, who holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in social work from the University of Michigan, previously worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. “I just did it on a whim,” said Gottleib, who decided to try acting after seeing an ad in a local paper. “I often tell people, especially as you age, to open up to something that’s different or new because you never know what you’re capable of doing.” Gottleib started acting in her mid 50s, appearing in about a dozen commercials in the early 1990s. Starting as an extra, she then went on to land small roles in films that shot in San Diego, including one with Anthony Perkins and Rosanna Arquette with a scene in Seaport Village. Another film, starring Richard Gere, had scenes at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. “It was kind of fun,” Gottleib

said. “I actually made some very nice films.” Gottleib finally turned to theater, auditioning for two plays at once. She landed both roles but decided to make her theater debut in “The Convertible Girl” at Lamplighter's Community Theatre in La Mesa. “I learned a lot while I was on stage,” said Gottleib, who has two

children and three grandchildren. “There’s nothing more challenging, I think, than theater. They don’t stop and start the cameras. Whatever happens, happens on stage. That was exciting for me.” With a growing love of theater, Gottleib began taking acting lessons. She has since worked with a number of local organizations, including New Village Arts Theatre in Carlsbad. Gottleib has also written two plays, which Playwrights Project produced for the stage. More recently, she has performed slam poetry at La Paloma Theater in Encinitas. “I really reinvented myself when I came here,” Gottleib said in reflection. “If I hadn’t moved here, I don’t think I would have done that. The opportunity just fell into my hands.” “Rasheeda Speaking” open Feb. 19 and runs through March 6 at La Jolla Commons Theatre, located at 1216 Cave St. in La Jolla. A panel with the actors, health care workers, human resource professionals and others will take place after each production. General admission is $20. VIP tickets cost $30.

‘The Last Match’ serves up life lessons at The Old Globe

JIM COX

Real-life fiancés Patrick J. Adams and Troian Bellisario star as couple Tim and Mallory in the world premiere of ‘The Last Match’ at The Old Globe Theatre.

Harlem Quartet

BY DIANA SAENGER The world premiere of Anna Ziegler’s “The Last Match,” follows the competition between two tennis players. Directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch (“Bethany” at The Globe 2014), the play ups the contest components through the involvement of their wives, and looks at how family and everyday life become a major factor of the game. Sergei Sergeyev (Alex Mickiewicz), representing Russia at the U.S. Open tennis semifinals, faces off against American superstar Tim Porter (Patrick J. Adams). Sitting on the sidelines are their wives — Tim’s Mallory (Troian Bellisario) and Sergei’s Galina (Natalia Payne). One can only wonder what goes through all of their minds as the matches play out. Juggling very busy schedules, the engaged-in-real-life Adams and Bellisario said they were delighted to earn roles in “The Last Match.” Bellisario has a huge resume of film, TV and theatrical work and is an actress on TV’s “Pretty Little Liars.” Adams, who plays Mike Ross on TV’s “Suits,” is a producer, director and actor who has garnered Drama Critics Circle Award nominations and several Ovation Awards for his work. “This play is brutally

honest and both of us were excited to get on the stage,” Adams said. “For me, it’s the idea that being at the top of your game and successful doesn’t mean you get to sidestep all the regular problems people have. My character has had an exciting last five years of his life professionally, but finds a little more money in his pocket doesn’t solve everything. (Playwright) Anna did a beautiful job of getting into the heads of two people who were suffering on different sides of that.” Said Bellisario, “Anna captured my character as someone who was once a player and now takes a supportive role to someone who is exceeding at a level she couldn’t. There are a lot of elements I connected with and was able to explore.” The plot surrounding Tim versus Sergei, finds one at the end of his career and the other at the beginning. They have led different lives with different struggles. Outside of the game, the challenge is how they connect in the themes of family love, their journey through the game, and the inevitable

conclusions. Announcing the production, Globe’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein said its basis in tennis serves as a metaphor that is both witty and probing. Adams, who is reacquainting himself with the game, agreed. “Tennis is a place-holder with universal themes like success, marriage, mortality, family, children, legacy and things we spend a lot of time focusing on,” he said. “What I found most provoking about tennis is how lonely it is. When you read player’s biographies you get a sense of how insular they are. Some say it’s the loneliest sport in the world. You’re not surrounded by teammates; you can’t speak to a coach. You’re standing far from your opponent, there’s no communication or physical interaction.

It made me think maybe we should be pushing our energy toward other things, like grounding ourselves and our family and loved ones, and using guideposts to know who we are rather than looking atexternal things.”

EVENT BRIEFS Canyon Crest Academy to present ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ Canyon Crest Academy will present Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” Feb. 19, Feb. 20, Feb. 25, Feb. 26 and Feb. 27 at CCA, located at 5951 Village Center Loop Dr. Carmel Valley, 92130. All show times are at 7 p.m. except for the Feb. 25 performance, which is at 4:30 p.m. Shrew is the tale of two young men, the optimistic Lucentio and the worldly Petruchio, and the two sisters they meet in Padua. Lucentio falls head over heels for Bianca, but before they can marry her elder sister Katherine must also be wed. Petruchio, attracted to the huge dowry, arranges to marry Katherine — against her will — and enters into a battle of the sexes that has been coined one of Shakespeare’s most entertaining works. The title roles will be played by Third Year Envision Theatre Arts Conservatory seniors Annika Patton and Jacob Surovsky. Devotedly directed by Steve Lipinsky (former board member and head acting coach of the San Diego Shakespeare Society). For tickets and more information, visit www.cca-envision.org/events/

North Coast Rep to host special concert ‘Love Letters from Vietnam’ Feb. 29 “For the Sender” leader and primary singer-songwriter Alex Woodard has fueled a dedication to veterans’ causes into “Love Letters from Vietnam,” being performed at North Coast Repertory Theatre Feb. 29 at 7:30 p.m. The songs are inspired by the extraordinary correspondence into the past between a passionate yet deeply flawed soldier and his daughter. “As I put myself behind this soldier’s eyes to write these songs, I talked to veterans, volunteered at events, and became more immersed in their stories,” Woodard says. “I found that there could be something post-traumatic other than a disorder. Beauty, growth, and hope. that’s what I tried to get across on the album and in my concert.” After watching Woodard perform an earlier storytelling compilation of songs about letters, Jennifer Fuller summoned up the courage to give him a cardboard box with “Love Letters from Vietnam” etched on the lid. She had found the box, containing letters written from her father while he was stationed in Vietnam, buried in a closet during a family move. Her father had ultimately died from the burdens he carried home from the war, and she answered his letters back in time to channel her personal pain and find healing. The themes of forgiveness, compassion and gratitude flow throughout the album, as they embody Jennifer’s process of grief and catharsis. A concert version “For the Sender: Love Letters from Vietnam” will be read and sung by Alex Woodard as Sergeant Fuller and Molly Jenson as Jennifer Fuller. For tickets: (858) 481-1055 or

Patterson, Matt N. Crawford and Evelyn Graves Crawford. The four exchanged letters with Hughes for nearly 40 years. “Letters from Langston” begins in 1930 and spans the succeeding decades, ending shortly before Hughes’ death in

1967. The two couples share their lives of political activism and the everyday joys and sorrows of family life with their friend Langston. He, for his part, savors their affections, companionship, and support during his own struggles. This distinctive volume of correspondence captures stories of friends and family living in an era of uncertainty and sharing a vision of an idealized world. Evelyn Louise Crawford, a retired arts administrator and consultant, and Mary Louise Patterson, a pediatrician in clinical practice are the daughters of Langston Hughes’s close friends: Evelyn Graves Crawford (1899-1972), Matt N. Crawford (1903-1996), Louise Thompson Patterson (1901-1999), and William L. Patterson (1891-1980). Hughes was a frequent guest in the homes of the two families and an “uncle” to both girls who knew him from their respective childhood years in California and New York.

Budget Blinds teams up with Designing Spaces’’ Military Makeover’ to renovate the home of veteran Budget Blinds, the largest window coverings franchise in North America with over 1,000 territories, recently participated in Designing Spaces’ Military Makeover special that surprised an injured air force veteran, his wife and five young children with a newly renovated home better suited to the family’s ever-growing needs. The show works hard to find deserving military veterans and families in need of home renovations in an effort to give back to those who have already given so much. They found one in Technical Sergeant Kevin Parke in Crestview, Florida. An Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, currently assigned to Eglin Air Force Base, entered the Air Force in 2003. He served two deployments in Afghanistan where he survived three separate IED detonations. Despite sustaining injuries, he stayed with his team each time. For this bravery and his accomplishments he earned countless medals and awards, including receiving two Purple Hearts for his injuries. The home’s completed renovations were unveiled to the Parke family in a private ceremony on Oct. 29, 2015. To see the family’s reactions to receiving the dream home they truly deserve, watch the three-part series of Military Makeover on Thursdays, Feb. 18, March 3, and March 10 at 7 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime® Television.

Lobster for your Valentines

Paint the town red for Valentine’s Day

elebrate Feb. 14 symbolically with red foods — not red meat nor red velvet cupcakes, rather the red-hot dynamos that bolster the immune system, boost energy levels, and ratchet up the libido. Passionate Pom: Egyptians filled royal sarcophagi with pomegranates to bestow eternal life on the dead, while this symbol of fertility was used in exotic dishes over the ages. Low cal, high fiber pomegranates have been found to keep bad cholesterol at bay, put the skids on sticky blood platelets, and neutralize free radicals that cause cellular damage. The powerful pom has even been extolled as nature’s Viagra. So sprinkle some seeds on green salads, oatmeal or Greek yogurt, or whip up a pomegranate puree to enliven wild-caught salmon, roasted chicken, Persian stews or frozen treats. Little Tart: The petite yet potent cranberry was recognized by Native Americans as a healer well before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. The noble cranberry is rife with Vitamins A for ocular health, B to temper stress, C to rev up the immune system, and K to regulate blood clotting, along with anti-adhesive antioxidants, making it bladder’s best friend. This prevents and treats pesky urinary tract infections by repelling bacteria from urinary tract linings. Unsweetened cranberry juice will pack the best anti-bacterial punch. Cherry on Top: The ancient Greeks pioneered the cultivation of cherries that has blossomed into

over 1,000 varieties today. This superfruit is packed with anthocyanin pigments for alleviating achy arthritic joints by blocking inflammatory enzymes; fiber to act as nature’s roto-rooter; melatonin to regulate circadian sleep patterns, and quercetin to reduce cardio risk factors. Cherry up with sauces to drizzle on desserts or pork dishes, toss dried drupes in quick breads, scones or green salads, or munch a handful of raw ones straight-up. Love Apples: Known in ancient Mediterranean countries as the Love Apple for its alleged aphrodisiac qualities, the tomato was soon discovered to also be a treasure-trove of Vitamin C and lycopene, the latter a carotene pigment to lower stroke risks, and protect the family jewels from prostate cancer. Surprisingly, cooking tomatoes makes lycopene more readily absorbable by the body, and since it is fat-soluble too, a drizzle of olive oil will optimize its bioavailability. Seedy Sweeties: The most popular and Vitamin C-rich berry in the world, the strawberry is not only recommended for dulling a throbbing headache and combating the flu and the gout, but for boosting energy and removing tartar from teeth. That’s something to smile about! 92 percent H2O, the pink-fleshed watermelon is naturally high in lycopene, potassium and electrolytes. Containing citrulline that relaxes blood vessels, the mighty melon has been likened to the little blue pill. Blend this behemoth beauty with heirloom tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella and basil, or puree into a

Whether sweet or spicy, red pepper is loaded with more Vitamin C than an orange, and a good dose of Vitamin A to boost skin, bone and ocular health. Raw or roasted red peppers add a pop of color to every dish, especially this mouth-watering lobster from Chef Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room, with love. ■ Serves 6 ■ Ingredients • Six 8-ounce Spiny Lobster Tails • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature • 1/4 cup chopped chives • 1 teaspoon orange zest • 2 tablespoons chopped Thai basil • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Season with salt and pepper. Set at room temperature. Make a lengthwise cut through the top of each lobster shell using kitchen shears. Press shell open. Pull meat and place on top of shell. Transfer to baking sheet. Generously coat each lobster tail with herb butter. Cover. Refrigerate up to 2 hours. Reserve remaining butter for basting. Preheat oven to 425o F. Place lobsters in oven. Cook 10 minutes or until lobster meat turns opaque in the center. Melt reserved butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Transfer lobster tails to serving platter. Spoon remaining butter atop lobsters. Serve with lemon wedges. refreshing agua fresca. Divine Bunch: Grapes, especially red, purple and black varieties with a rich source of resveratrol synonymous with wine, have been found to ward off assorted cancers, reduce heart attack risks, and boost longevity by the activation of anti-aging genes. Hot Tomalley: The gold standard of seafood

— the lobster — is a scrumptious low fat, protein-packed sea treasure. It contains a motherlode of Vitamins B-12 to boost brain health, B-3 to dial-up digestion and mellow out nerves, zinc to amp up the immune system and heal wounds, and selenium for optimum thyroid function. — Reach the Kitchen Shrink, via e-mail at kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

Exercising with Spider Veins The beginning of the year often bombards us with messages of ﬁtness, piggybacking onto all those New Year’s goals. I often stress the importance of exercise in the prevention of spider veins and varicose veins, and in fact, exercise is the best bet for promoting healthy veins and preventing vein disease. In general, vein disease is most closely associated with careers that involve prolonged sitting or standing, as well as pregnancy and genetic predisposition. But some athletes and other highly active people are often shocked to learn they have symptomatic vein disease, presenting with tired and achy legs. Even young, healthy athletes can get varicose or spider veins, and there are some exercises that even exacerbate

symptoms. So what exercises, then, should you do if you have symptoms of vein disease? What is safe? What is important to remember is that the underlying cause of vein disease is venous reflux. Some exercises improve this, slowing the progression of venous reflux— the reversal of flow in your leg veins into varicose veins—while other exercises only enflame the condition. When you exercise, blood is pumped to your heart from your calf muscles and veins in the arch of the foot. Strong calf muscles promote healthy circulation, minimizing vein disease. However, strenuous exercise puts strain on venous circulation. Blood flowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins.

The Best Exercise: Walking, since it is a low-impact activity that serves to stretch and strengthen your calf pump, improving blood flow. Ideally, make walking a regular activity, for at least 30 minutes each a day (a minimum of five days a week). Other tricks you can use to fit in regular steps are to park in the farthest lot or structure at work, or park at the top of your structure, walking all the way down and back up the ramp instead of taking the stairs or elevator. Be Wary of: Running. While running and jogging are wonderful aerobic exercises for your calves and feet, these activities may impact your joint health. If possible, run on a synthetic track or grass to minimize impact. Great Exercises: Stationary Bikes and Elliptical Machines. Both types of exercises provide low-impact, high-circulatory benefits to your calf muscles, improving pump blood flow without stress on joints and bones. Bikes in general strengthen and stretch your muscles while you pedal. Varicose-Very Bad Exercise #1: Weightlifting. This often puts that

abdominal strain on the vena cava, sending blood pooling back in your legs. While weightlifting is often recommended for peri- to post-menopausal women, the focus should be more on resistance training. For a more beneficial routine using weights, follow the basic techniques for proper lifting, such as lower weight and high rep routines, exhaling when lifting, and following up with an aerobic activity such as walking or riding a stationary bike in order to promote circulation. And always wear compression socks during and following weightlifting to assist the blood flow back to the heart. Surprising Exercise Don’ts for Vein Health: Yoga. This will shock and disappoint many out there, but the main thing to remember here is to avoid activities that can worsen venous reflux. In yoga, prolonged abdominal posturing should be avoided for alternate positions and a more aerobic routine.

La Jolla Playhouse presents dark comedy ‘Guards at the Taj’ BY DIANA SAENGER “Guards at the Taj,” which premiered recently at La Jolla Playhouse, centers on two guards in 1640s India, tasked with mundane jobs as the Taj Mahal is being built behind them. The night before its unveiling, the lifelong-friends — who are more like brothers – are asked to do something quite terrible that divides them existentially. One of them is on the side of the Emperor to whom he pledges his allegiance, the other is reeling from what they’ve done, and is asked to defy the Emperor and revolt against his government. It’s that action that puts this play in motion. Written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph (“Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo”), the production marks Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Jaime Castañeda’s directorial debut at the Playhouse (Castañeda’s other local directing credits include “Welcome to Arroyo’s” at The Old Globe). “I’m always asking myself how we can create (great) moments on stage with just a little bit of theater magic,” he said. “So when I’m approaching plays and writers I’m interested in the specific voices and theatrical gestures they provide.” The two-member cast includes, Manu Narayan (Playhouse’s “Glengarry Glen Ross”) as Humayun and Babak Tafti (Playhouse’s “Blood and Gifts”) as Babur. “ ‘Guards at the Taj’ has several challenges that are enticing to figure out,” Castañeda said. “Like how to stage it and create a world that is flexible, contemporary and historical. It has dark elements, along with comedic and physical challenges in terms of the production. Those things had me scratching my head, but jumping headfirst into the process.” Castañeda said he never worked with playwright Joseph before, but was aware of his work. When this script came to the Atlantic Theater Company for its premiere, Castañeda was a strong advocate for the production. “I knew of his work ‘Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo,’ and have been a fan of his work for several years,” Castañeda said. “I thought this play was special, and I’m happy it’s getting a life and making rounds

Manu has Indian heritage and been to the Taj Mahal, so we’ve been talking about his experience in India. Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley talked about his involvement in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross.’ Several people had talked to me about Babak and his work. A two-hander play is a delicate thing in getting the right people in the room and having them speak the same language. I’ve been blessed with both of them, especially as they have been game to try different things the last three weeks.” He added, “This is a dark comedy thanks to a super writer who could mix the tragic and most terrible parts of our existence with the funniest and most absurd and comical moments that emerge from darker circumstances. There are scenes where my hope is the shock and the surprise comes from both of those things. In one of my favorite and most challenging scenes I’m like a Rubik’s cube on how to make these moments work on stage.” Before Castañeda joined the Playhouse as Associate Artistic Director he served as Artistic Associate at Off-Broadway’s Atlantic Theatre Company for five years. He holds an M.F.A. in Directing from the University of Texas at Austin, was the founding Artistic Director of FireStarter Productions in Texas, and an ensemble member with American Theater Company in Chicago since 2009. ■ IF YOU GO: “Guards at the Taj” runs Feb. 2-28 in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive.

Del Mar Heights School hosts SciFri event

t another successful SciFri event held Jan 29, Del Mar Heights students and parents learned all about our largest organ— the skin. At “Love the Skin You’re In,” Dr. Angelo Del Re from Coast Pediatrics of Carmel Valley taught about the anatomy of the skin, how to care for it, things to watch for and how to protect it from the sun. The thoughtful presentation also included several hands-on experiments. Students explored the extent to which items such as sunglasses, water, t-shirt fabric, sunscreen and glass react to ultraviolet light. It was a memorable night for all involved. Courtesy photos.
