BY KRISTINA HOUCK After months of grassroots efforts, classified employees of the Solana Beach School District have officially established a labor union.

Formally called the Solana Beach Association of Support Professionals, or SBASP, the district officially recognized the organization in a letter dated March 17.

“It was a long battle,” said Robin Park, an instructional aide in the special education department at Solana Vista School.

Spearheaded by Park, a number of classified staff members expressed interest in forming a labor union after nearly two-dozen employees almost lost their health benefits late last year.

A total of 46 classified employees were eligible for benefits when the Affordable Care Act went into effect in 2014. In a letter two days before Thanksgiving 2015, 22 of those employees learned that they no longer qualified for health care under the ACA and that their current benefits would end SEE UNION, A19

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the city’s zoning code lacking clarity and some community members calling for change, the Del Mar City Council voted unanimously on April 4 to approve a temporary moratorium on short-term vacation rentals.

Under the temporary ban, current short-term rentals can stay in operation, but no new rentals can open. The emergency ban — which will last 45 days and can be extended for up to six months — enables city staff to collect data, conduct further research, and craft land use and operational regulations for short-term rentals, while maintaining the status quo.

“All this does is say, ‘Time out!’ People who are currently renting, they can continue to rent, but new people who want to start up a new rental, please postpone it until we get our house in order, so to speak,” Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said. “I think it’s a reasonable thing to do to make sure we’re doing the right thing.”

The city’s zoning code does not define or list short-term rentals as an allowed use, yet another section of the code allows residents to rent rooms in their homes for undefined periods of time. Although the existing code is unclear, a number of residences in Del Mar have been used as short-term rentals, with the practice likely predating the city’s incorporation.

Short-term rentals are regarded as less SEE RENTALS, A22

Del Mar City Council adopts code on civil discourse

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Del Marians sometimes disagree on everything from roundabouts to replacing city hall, there’s one thing all residents always have in common: their love for the community.

In an effort to keep public dialogue productive, even when there’s conflict, the Del Mar City Council on April 4 unanimously adopted a code of civil discourse. The city is the first in the region to adopt such a code, which is based on the National Conflict Resolution Center’s Code of Civil Discourse.

“We’re the first city to do this,” Mayor Sherryl Parks said. “I’m ever so proud. I really am.”

Parks brought the idea before the council after she attended a NCRC training program.

An international leader in mediation instruction and conflict resolution, San Diego-based NCRC provides the resources, training and expertise to help people, organizations and communities around the world manage and solve conflicts with civility.

The University of San Diego Law Center and the

San Diego County Bar Association founded the organization in 1983. Since then, NCRC has managed more than 20,000 cases.

“These are people with an international reputation who do mediation, but more than that, they do training for people on how to discuss topics that are in dispute in an effective and civil way,” explained Councilman Dwight Worden, who spearheaded the project, along with Parks. “She came back very energized by that, so she and I have SEE CODE, A19

Solana Beach resident Darwin Berg to be honored They guide students along educational and career pathways; they reshape our concepts of the world around us; and they advance creative solutions to address social disparity.

Solana Beach resident and UC San Diego Distinguished Professor of Biology Darwin Berg will be among the six UC San Diego faculty members honored at the 42nd annual Chancellor’s Associates Faculty Excellence Awards for going above and Darwin beyond to make a positive Berg impact in their teaching, research and service. The recognition ceremony will be held Thursday, April 14, from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine.

“I applaud this year’s Faculty Excellence Award recipients for their unique vision and unwavering dedication to our campus and community,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “These six faculty members are extending our realms of knowledge through their research, enriching the student learning experience and making significant strides toward equity and inclusion in our community.”

Over the past 42 years, UC San Diego has recognized the contributions of more than 142 faculty members. The annual ceremony celebrates the accomplishments of UC San Diego faculty as a whole, while highlighting

the important contributions of the university’s most exemplary teachers and researchers via brief video presentations.

Chancellor’s Associates, a program for donors who give an annual leadership gift of $2,500 or more to the university, will recognize the outstanding accomplishments of university faculty members with a citation and $2,500 award.

Berg is a world leader in neurobiology, specifically in nicotinic signaling and synaptic function in the central nervous system. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of a major modulatory neurotransmitter in the brain, and his work is notable for its practical applications. Over his 40-year career at UC San Diego, his research has been recognized and rewarded, including by election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

“Professor Berg’s research career and contributions to understanding how the brain develops and functions are fundamentally important,” said Yimin Zou, professor and chair of the Section of Neurobiology. “His pioneering work is highly regarded in the international community of neuroscience and his dedication and service to UC San Diego is well-respected.”

Advocate honored for promoting healthy lifestyles, fighting drug use

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Whether through her work or with her free time, Solana Beach’s Peggy Walker has passionately promoted healthy lifestyles and fought drug use in the community for years.

Recently named one of the 78th Assembly District’s 2016 “Woman of the Year” honorees by California Assembly Speaker Emeritus Toni Atkins, Walker’s community service was celebrated during a March 18 awards ceremony in San Diego.

“It’s a huge honor to be recognized by your community,” Walker said. “I’ve lived here for a long time. I love Solana Beach.

I’m glad that I can give back in some way.”

Originally from the Bay Area, Walker studied journalism at the University of Missouri and relocated to San Diego County after college. She worked as a reporter at the San Diego Union-Tribune for nearly a decade before transitioning into public relations.

While pregnant with her third son, Walker founded her own PR firm in 1983.

The mother of three managed the company for about 10 years until she started writing grants for the Solana Beach School District.

It was through grant writing that Walker was driven to eventually become an advocate for a drug-free environment.

“The things I’ve done in my life have led

For years, Walker wrote grant applications for tobacco-use prevention education programs at Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito Union High School District.

Through the years, however, she saw tobacco use decline as marijuana use increased.

Assemblywoman posthumously honors first mayor of Solana Beach

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Solana Beach recently lost its first mayor, Margaret Schlesinger’s memory lives on.

Recognizing her impact on the community, California Assembly Speaker Emeritus Toni Atkins posthumously honored Schlesinger as one of the 78th Assembly District’s 2016 “Woman of the Year” honorees March 18 in a local celebration of Women’s History Month. Schlesinger died Feb. 9 at the age of 80.

“Solana Beach might not even be a city without former Mayor Schlesinger, and her leadership on the City Council was applauded by the community,” Atkins said. “Each year, I look forward to honoring women for their extraordinary contributions to our region and Margaret is a perfect example of this dedication. I'm grateful for her long-time service — she will be missed.”

Schlesinger played an important part in the city’s incorporation in 1986. She was the top vote-getter elected to the City Council that year, and her fellow council members appointed her as mayor.

Del Mar Heritage Center: A home for Del Mar’s history

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar Historical Society has long wanted to bring the Alvarado House back home, and with the city’s planned civic center inching closer, members are centering their efforts on the site.

Built in 1885, the Alvarado House is currently located at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989. But Del Mar Historical Society members say the historical house deserves to be in a more visible spot and open to the public year round. If relocated to the planned civic center, where the existing Del Mar TV studio sits, it would not only be more accessible, it would be near the home’s original location on 10th Street.

Also known as the Del Mar Heritage Center at the Alvarado House, the structure would serve a variety of purposes, according to members of the Del Mar Historical Society. As seen in part one of this series, having the Alvarado House open throughout the year would shed light on the society’s programs, such as Del Mar Voices, a decades-long oral history project.

“Our goal really is to have it be a multifunctional place for the community,” said Susanne Stevenson, a Del Mar native who now lives near Fairbanks Ranch. “We just want it to have as many uses as we could possibly think of.”

With the Alvarado House at the city’s center, it could also serve as a museum.

The Del Mar Historical Society has proposed presenting rotating exhibits of historical artifacts and images at the Del Mar Heritage Center, illustrating the city’s rich and varied history.

Today, some of these items are stored at the Del Mar Community Building, with others in members’ homes. Stevenson, for example, is storing an old sign from Kirby’s Café, where Sbicca now sits.

“We have lots of odds and ends,” said Stevenson, a longtime member of the Del Mar Historical Society and current board member.

The displays would be changed quarterly, if not more frequently, Stevenson said.

Currently, the Alvarado House display focuses on the Del Mar Racetrack and old Hollywood stars. It is only open during the annual San Diego County Fair.

“That’s the primary focus and it’s wonderful, because people are at the fair and that’s the sort of thing that they’re thinking about,” Stevenson said. “But when we bring it back, we’ll do revolving displays. We have a wonderful, wonderful collection of historical photographs.”

The two larger rooms in the house would be dedicated to the display of Del Mar history, while the three remaining smaller rooms could be for additional displays or could be furnished with period items to illustrate life in early Del Mar. Exhibits would be open with a docent during all civic center events, such as the Del Mar Farmers Market, and by appointment any time.

The society would cover all costs associated with curating exhibits through grants and fundraising.

“All cities have wonderful backstories, even if they’re small like Del Mar,” Stevenson said.

“History defines who we are.”

Event to support DM resident’s marathon sculpture project A group of Hopkinton residents, with the support of the 26.2 Foundation and UniBank, have joined forces to sponsor an event to help raise funds for the Bobbi Gibb Marathon Sculpture Project on Wednesday, April 13, at the Hopkinton Country Club, 204 Saddle Hill Road, Hopkinton, Mass.

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of Gibb’s historic Boston Marathon run as the first woman to complete the course. Gibb, a part-time Del Mar resident, is an accomplished painter and sculptor who studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Gibb is now poised to create a life-size sculpture of a woman runner to represent all of the powerful women who have run Boston since 1966.

Attendees will have to opportunity to meet and mingle with Gibb and other Boston Marathon champions who are supporting the sculpture project, including Amby Burfoot, the 1968 winner and Runner’s World Editor at Large, and the legendary four-time winner of the Boston Marathon Bill Rodgers. Burfoot will also be available for a book signing of his latest book, “First Ladies of Running.”

“We believe it is long past time to recognize the Boston Marathon’s great women runners,” says Tim Kilduff, of the 26.2 Foundation. “The fact that Boston’s first woman runner is also a great sculptor makes this project absolutely unique and

appropriate.”

“I have witnessed firsthand the difference running makes in our young girls’ lives and the self-confidence it helps promote. As such, I am proud and honored to be a member of the steering committee for this event honoring Bobbi’s accomplishment,” said Deb Thomas, Hopkinton resident, avid runner, board Bobbi Gibb member and Hopkinton site liaison of the Greater Boston Girls on the Run council.

There will be two separate, but related events; a VIP cocktail party from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The charge for admission is a $100 and includes hor d’oeuvres and a poster created specifically for the event by Hopkinton artist Buff Spencer and autographed by Gibb. The general event is from 7:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. and will include guest speakers, a cash bar and dessert for $20. Seating is limited for both events, so early reservation are recommended.

All proceeds to benefit the Bobbi Gibb Marathon Sculpture Project. Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/bobbigibb Additional donations for this project can be made at bit.ly/bgfundraiser

Voices for Children’s Wine Women & Shoes set for April 30 Event to take place at historic estate

BY KRISTINA HOUCK For the first time since she and her husband have owned the estate, Del Mar’s Patricia Brutten is inviting the public into her historic home for an event that will support foster children of San Diego County.

Voices for Children’s fifth annual “Wine Women & Shoes” is set for April 30 at the Canfield-Wright estate, a house filled with history that sits on a Del Mar hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The residence was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

“The views are so spectacular,” said Brutten, who purchased the estate with her husband, Marc Brutten, in 2014. “It’s a special place.”

Named after its first owner, oil tycoon Charles Canfield, the house was constructed in 1910. It was designed and built by architect John C. Austin, known for his work on the Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles City Hall and Shrine Auditorium.

Canfield intended to make the house his second home, but sold it a few years later to the Wright family, while he went on to

develop the communities that would eventually become Beverly Hills and Del Mar through his South Coast Land Company. Also known as Wrightland and The Pink Lady, the house was slightly altered over the years. By the end of the 1990s, it had been rented to multiple tenants and painted a bright pink.

In the early 2000s, a developer purchased the property with the intent of tearing it down and replacing it with a more modern structure. Local residents, however, fought to preserve the property, even nominating it for the National Register of Historic Places.

Finally, another local developer and nearby neighbor, Bill Davidson, purchased the house, ultimately restoring it.

“It has really cool history,” said Brutten, who proudly displays old photos and newspaper articles telling the story of her house on a wall in her home.

Whether chairing the event or serving as a member of the planning committee, Brutten has been involved with Wine Women & Shoes since its inaugural year. In fact, she has held the fundraiser at one of her properties three of the last five years.

“It’s different,” Brutten said. “It’s just a fun event.”

Accomplished author, teacher Michael C. White to discuss craft at RSF Library

BY LOIS ALTER MARK hen author Michael C. White teaches classes in the MFA Creative Writing Program he founded at Fairfield University, he always emphasizes the importance of telling a good story and developing interesting characters.

In “Resting Places,” his seventh novel – and the one he will be talking about at the Rancho Santa Fe Library on April 20 at 10:30 a.m. – he accomplishes both.

The book revolves around the idea of descansos, a Spanish term which literally means “resting places,” and which has come to describe the handmade crosses you see on the sides of roads to mark the spot where a loved one died.

In the novel, Elizabeth is finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the mysterious death of her son. Her relationship with her husband is strained, she’s lost interest in her job as a lawyer and she realizes she’s drinking too much. When she stops to check out a man on the side of the road who is talking to his dead wife at a descanso, he inspires her to embark on a cross-country journey to the site of her son’s car accident to try to find some answers.

According to White, the term “descanso” originated hundreds of years ago when people used to carry the deceased from the chapel or cathedral to the burial ground.

Because it was often a long walk, they would stop to rest and put the coffin down for a little while. They would then leave stones where they rested. Over the years, the ritual evolved into the handmade crosses which now dot roads all around the country.

W

White first became interested in this tradition seven or eight years ago when he noticed a roadside memorial near a quiet highway in New Hampshire that he had passed several times before.

“As a novelist, I’m motivated by the questions of ‘how?’ and ‘why?’ so I finally got out of my car and walked up to it,” he remembered. “I was amazed at all the things I saw on and around the cross. There were the words, ‘Rest in peace, son’ and also ‘Rest in peace, honey.’ There was a fishing reel and lures. It drew me in because it really told the whole life story of the man who had died there.”

White started wondering about the sort of people who would put up these memorials and began researching descansos. He even took a cross country trip from Connecticut to New Mexico, following the route Elizabeth takes in the book. He took pictures of hundreds of descansos, and was deeply moved by many of the stories.

“One of the most profound was a spot that had two crosses, one large, one small,” said White. “They had the same last name and the same death date but the smaller one didn’t have a birth date. It finally dawned on me that the woman was pregnant when she died.”

Author Michael C. White grieve more intimately than through the formality of a funeral. They want to do something more personal and less institutionalized, and they sometimes claim they can feel the energy of their loved one at the place where they actually died. As one of White’s characters says, “Cemeteries are where people are dead. This is where my wife was last alive. This is where I come to talk to

her.”

Although the cross is most commonly used as the symbol of a descanso, it doesn’t necessarily represent a specific religion. It’s more spiritual than that.

In fact, White – who has written two books about Catholic priests – admits he’s “a non-believer. I’m more like Elizabeth, who is very skeptical. I guess I’m drawn to characters who are dissimilar to me. I try to understand why they believe what they do.”

White has written three historical novels and three contemporary ones. He just finished a novel about a middle distance runner named Max Grossman and it’s set in 1936 during the Berlin Olympics, with Max going back and forth between Germany and the United States.

“I do like the idea of a journey,” said White. “I like to put characters on a quest.”

White will make his own journey to San Diego for the library appearance, accompanying his wife – a radiologist who will be speaking at a local conference – and visiting his brother and a former student turned friend while here.

He will then return to Connecticut where he spends four or five hours a day writing in a converted chicken coop.

A collection of White’s short stories, Marked Men, was published by the University of Missouri Press. He has also published over 50 short stories in national magazines and journals, and has won the Advocate Newspapers Fiction Award.

Del Sol Lions give $300 to robotics team In less than 12 hours the Del Sol Lions allocated $300 to a local student robotics team and received $1,000 from the County Employees Charitable Organization (CECO) for the St. James and St. Leo Dental Program in Solana Beach.

“This was a great day for the Del Sol Lions. Two of our favorite activities happened on the same day — giving back to the community and fundraising for local community projects,” said Del Sol Lions President David Cain. “We are proud to support the academic achievements of our students and the well-being of residents. These two grants demonstrate our priorities and celebrate the great things happening in North County coastal.”

The Del Sol Lions donated $300 to The Code Crunchers, a Solana Beach-based robotics team, to help cover travel expenses to the World Championships in St. Louis, Mo. The 5-member team, aged 9-14, is one of 108 teams selected from 29,000 entrants from 80+ countries competing to find a better, more efficient way to manage trash. If you want to learn more about their project, Trash Trek, or are interested in donating to help the team cover travel expenses, please visit their website at www.codecrunchers.org.

The $1,000 grant received from CECO will help the Del Sol Lions fund a flooring project in the waiting room and lab at the St. James and St. Leo Dental clinic in Solana Beach. The dental clinic serves 85 patients per week every Saturday morning and Wednesday night. Certified and insured dentists donate their time and expertise to serve uninsured patients for basic dental care.

The Del Sol Lions is a community-based organization serving those in need and youth in the North County coastal area. Since 2010, the club has raised more than $60,000 for 125 service programs. The Del Sol Lions meet the fourth Tuesday of the month from 5:30 -7 p.m. at the Fletcher Cove Community Center. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome.

Del Mar Hills fourth graders take on civic duty

F

ourth grade students at Del Mar Hills Academy of Arts and Science have been focusing on opinion writing this trimester and students have had many experiences weighing in on various topics.

Their most recent topic surrounded the possibility of a ban on plastic bags. During class discussion, several students were aware of the official ban of plastic bags by the City of Solana Beach and several more students spoke up about bringing this debate to the City of Del Mar. The class agreed it was important to respect everyone’s opinion and that the City of Del Mar should hear both sides of their argument. The students felt their research and writing would be an asset to the Del Mar City Council members as a plastic bag ban has been a topic at in the community and at their meetings.

On Monday, March 28, Del Mar Hills welcomed Del Mar Mayor Sherryl Parks and Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott of the Del Mar City Council to their school campus.

Students learned about the city council’s role in the Del Mar community and students were proud to share arguments for and against a ban on plastic bags. Every fourth grade student did an outstanding job in contributing to the event and they gained a unique perspective in real-life civic participation and democracy. It was truly a special and memorable event.

The Brighter Side of the Big C

BY KATIE PAGE “I was never sick,” says Valery Cutchin matter-of-factly.` Eight years ago, Cutchin, then 50, called her doctor’s office to make an appointment for her annual mammogram. The receptionist told her she couldn’t get in for about two months unless there was something wrong, although Cutchin couldn’t quite tell what it was, she Valery felt off, so she was able to Cutchin get in for a “diagnostic” mammogram immediately, she said.

The technician decided to do an ultrasound, and she reassured Cutchin that at least it “wasn’t the big C.” “I remember everything being fine, and then she asked me ‘Have you ever taken your kids to Legoland?’ and the whole feeling of the room changed. I just thought, ‘Whatever it is, what am I going to tell my kids?’” Cutchin says.

She had tumors in both breasts, and without a biopsy, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She immediately had a double mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiation to maximize her chances of getting rid of all the cancer cells.

Throughout the year and a half of treatment, however, Cutchin says she never considered herself sick because she never felt bad.

“Obviously I had some side effects like extreme fatigue and losing my hair from chemo[therapy], but [the cancer] was just

something I had and needed to get rid of,” Cutchin says.

She says there were days where she would be minimally active and still would be drained by noon, but despite initial difficulty with that, her elementary school-aged children climbed into bed with her on these days, which, she says, was nice.

Despite initial difficulties with treatment, such as fatigue and the temporary loss of her voice, it was easy for Cutchin to benefit from The Brighter Side’s services after she finished her treatment.

The Brighter Side is a small business and nonprofit that offers skincare, wigs and breast prosthesis to women with cancer and has locations in Solana Beach and La Mesa.

Not much later, when her best friend since sixth grade was diagnosed with breast cancer, Cutchin took her to get her own prosthesis from The Brighter Side.

The owner of The Brighter Side, Sherre Cain, says many of her employees are cancer survivors because she says she gets a good feel for who they are based on her frequent interaction with them as clients. She says Cutchin seemed like a good fit as she met Cain’s criteria of being sympathetic, understanding and comfortable with talking about her experience. “[The best part of working at The Brighter Side] is seeing these distraught women, who have been through so much, come in crying because they feel awful, and, then still in tears when they leave, but of joy not sadness,” Cain says.

Cutchin says she enjoys working with “newcomers” as she can connect with them

and share her story, which she says she feels helps not only the women, but her. She says she also believes that each woman’s case is different, which is something they should take comfort in.

“I think that every woman’s [cancer] experience is a unique journey, even if it is the shittiest road trip ever,” Cutchin says.

“Once a woman was upset about her really bad mastectomy scar, and I just looked at her and said, ‘You know, I’m sure they removed the cancer in a way that was best for you.’” Cutchin recalls that the woman smiled warmly and proceeded getting fit for her prosthesis.

Keeping with her uncommon take on cancer, from the start, Cutchin and her doctor also avoided the word “remission” as they focused on eliminating all the cancer cells. She has been cancer free for almost seven years.

Cutchin says she no longer sweats the small stuff. Some of the small stuff that Cutchin notes The Brighter Side took care of for her includes providing her with excellent prosthesis and what she says is the best hair she’s ever had with its wig options.

It has also given her the opportunity to make a tangible difference in women’s lives on a daily basis. Cutchin says she has always tried to look at the brighter side of life so she finds it ironic that she works at a shop that is named exactly that.

At the end of the day, Cutchin says she wants one thing: “I tell people that all I want to do is be old because it implies so much.”

Canyon Crest students’ biofuel project honored by SD Zoo

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy sophomores Annam Tran and junior Nico Laqua won first in plant sciences, as well as a professional award from San Diego Zoo Global, for their “novel” project in the recent Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair The title of the Canyon Crest Academy sophomores’ project is in itself an accomplishment: “Novel Transfection of Micro-Algal Lemna Minor and Azolla Caroliniana Mediated by Agro-Bacterium Tumefaciens pet-21a-ifer to Elevate Nuetral Lipid Biofuel Production.”

The mouthful represents the students’ aim to find a way to make biofuels more efficient.

In addition to their first place award and San Diego Zoo Global award, Annam and Nico’s project also received professional society awards from the Journal of Youths in Science and from the Taiwanese American Foundation at the fair award ceremony on March 19.

Nico and Annam were also honored in a special award ceremony for the zoo’s award winners at the San Diego Zoo on Tuesday, March 29.

The pair completed their project studying the common duckweed (lemna minor) and azolla, also known as fairy moss or mosquito fern. Annam and Nico knew both

Annam Tran and Nico Laqua

duckweed and azolla grew fast so they wanted to figure out a way to raise the biofuel level naturally by inserting a gene. In order to do that, they had to find a way to insert that gene.

“The hardest part was coming up with a way to put the gene in because no on had done it before in an azolla,” Annam said.

The pair conducted their research over a period of six months at CCA, as part of the QUEST program, the school’s

science, technology, engineering, math and research program. Under the guidance of science teacher Ariel Haas, QUEST allows students to have an “authentic science experience” conducting their own scientific research.

“It was a big help,” Annam said of the QUEST program.

“We had a mentor on hand with Mr. Haas and a place to do our work in the lab.”

For the two plants, the azolla and the duckweed, the young scientists tried out processes of heating and cooling to extract biofuel to prove that genetic biomodification raised the amount of biofuel produced.

Their method proved effective. For azolla, a natural unmodified plant produces 14.2 percent of biofuel; when modified they found it increased to 16.8 percent.

Unmodified duckweed produces 10 percent while the modified version produced about 15 percent.

Annam said it was satisfying to see their work honored by professional societies at the fair.

“We had a high level of interest from the Zoo Global and an offer for an article to be published in the Journal of Youths in Science,” Annam said.

Annam and Nico will next pursue getting their method patented and continue their research to try to insert two to three genes to see if that makes the plant grow faster.

SDUHSD students nearly sweep top science fair awards

BY BRADLEY J. FIKES To win the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, boldness and ambition helps. And the winners of the 2016 contest, the 62nd in the fair’s history, bear that out. The high school student winners tackled some of the toughest problems in the world—among them fighting bacterial “superbugs,” treating autisum and extending life itself. They also devised professional-level experiments to find answers and reported real signs of progress.

Contest judges chose the six Senior Sweepstakes winners out of hundreds of high school entrants and this year, five of the six Senior Sweepstakes winners were from San Dieguito Union High School District: Brian Xia, Liana Merk, Anthony Kang, Francisca Vasconcelos and Maggie Chen.

Each won $2,000 from the Rueben H. Fleet Science Center and the will go on to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix in May. Brian Xia, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy, won for his project on extending the life of fruit flies in a manner that is passed down through offspring. In his project last year, Brian found that altering the diet of fruit flies could reduce or extend life, producing a heritable change. Low protein diets lowered life expectancy.

For this year’s work, he identified a drug in phase two human trials for cancer that alters which genes are turned on or off using a process called methylation. This “epigenetic” process adds or subtracts molecules called methyl groups to protective proteins wrapped around DNA called histones.

Brian found that the drug, EPZ-6438, can reverse the loss of life expectancy caused by a low protein diet and determined the mechanism of action. That mechanism is found in people, he said, and fruit flies

Senior Sweepstakes winner Maggie Chen. have proven to be a good model for complex human diseases.

The project established proof of principle for important concepts, he said, at least in fruit flies. First, the usefulness of applying an epigenetic therapy early in life, “potentially preventing the onset of multiple aging-relating diseases.”

“The data I have right now shows that EPZ-6438 has efficacy in alleviating the effects of memory deficits and neurodegenerative diseases,” Brian said. “I want to see if it shows effectiveness in type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease.”

If that proves true, this drug would be of use against three major diseases, including cancer. The next step would be discussing the findings with the corporate owner of the drug.

Liana Merk, also from CCA, won for her

work on antibiotic resistance, one of two winners tackling that growing problem.

The junior decised a way to get more antibiotics into the bacterium E. coli by inhibiting “efflux pumps” molecules that straddle the cell membrane. These pumps form when needed to expel noxious substances from the bacteria cell, such as antibiotics.

“My idea was to increase the efficiency of an inhibitor of the efflux pump,” Liana said. “Previous research has administered this inhibitor when the efflux pump hasn’t even formed yet, so I had the idea of shocking the bacteria into forming the efflux pump and then inhibiting it.”

To carry this research further, the efflux inhibitor must be given more extensive testing to see how it interacts with human cells, Liana said.

Also working on antibiotic resistance, Anthony Kang, a junior from CCA, figured out a Trojan Horse strategy to trick bacteria into absorbing destructive genes.

Bacteria are known to share genes with each other -- their version of sex -especially when stressed. Like children

with trading cards, the bacteria swap genes, a process called conjugation. Bacteria that get survival-improving genes proliferate.

While some research has attempted to stop this gene-swapping, Anthony decided to use this mechanism against it by packaging a toxin-making gene along with a gene for antibiotic resistance, a sort of gene that the bacteria have evolved to recognize and accept. These constructs are placed in circular DNA elements called plasmids, the shape of bacteria DNA. The combination works because the bacteria detect the useful gene and take up the plasmid, whereupon the Trojan Horse gene goes to work making a bacteria-killing toxin.

“The system I designed was effective in killing off bacteria to a point at which they couldn’t recover from exposure to the toxin,” Anthony said.

To make the technology useful as therapy, Anthony is working on increasing its efficiency and packaging genes for different kinds of toxins in the plasmid, he said.

OUR READERS WRITE Crosswalk needed at intersection I’m writing to express my great concern about the lack of a crosswalk at the intersection of Dell Street and Solana Hills Drive. As a homeowner over the past five years, I have been unable to figure out why there’s a lack of a crosswalk or a stop sign at this intersection. I have two daughters and one on the way.

On my street, four additional elementary school students live and walk to school. I’m aware of at least one wheelchair person who frequently travels up and down Solana Hills Drive. We cross this intersection daily on our way to school. Cars rarely stop for us given the lack of a stop sign or a crosswalk. By next August, we will have six children from our court walking daily through this intersection to Skyline school.

I contacted our last mayor about a year ago and had no response. I was surprised that even with the repaving of the street no crosswalk was put in. I’m quite concerned this is a disaster in the making. I would even be willing to help fund such a public need.

I hope our City Council takes action on this problem before an accident happens, and I hope the city is now more aware of this problem via this publication.

Dr. Barrett Levesque, Solana Beach

Del Mar vacation rentals are critical part of community Your honorable Mayor and City Council Members, Thank you for your patience and your understanding of the issues surrounding

short-term vacation rentals. You’re not alone in evaluating this important, progressive evolution on what we’ve come to know in Del Mar. Remember, it’s only been nearly 80 years since Del Mar was a sleepy seaside town that was awakened by Hollywood celebrities bringing “gambling” to our little city — and for a while, very few actually came.

It took a lot of muscle, star power, dedicated trains and buses from Los Angeles and heavy radio promotion by the studios to get people to come to Del Mar. “Take a plane, take a train, take a car.”

Gambling in Del Mar? This was allowed? And still is?

Yes. And the city has thrived because of the racetrack and its ancillary year-round activities.

It’s a key point of difference of the Del Mar brand. And we’re adding more racing dates and expecting to host one of the biggest two-day sporting spectacles in 2017 —The Breeder’s Cup — that will bring more than an estimated 40,000 people to Del Mar! Where are these people going to stay?

A lot of things are no longer the way they were.

We’ve got WiFi permeating the airwaves. Uber and Lyft are transporting us in ways we never dreamed — all from an app on our phones and with the biggest venture capital backing in modern times. Airbnb, VRBO and others are redefining how people travel as families. Expedia (the travel site) just purchased VRBO/HomeAway for $3.9 billion. Hyatt hotels has invested $40 million in vacation rental site OneFineStay.com.

The world is not as it was. That’s a good thing.

Yes, change is not without its bumps.

Del Mar is a leading destination for many travelers and its a wonderful place to live and raise a family. Many residents today first came here or invested after “visiting” Del Mar — likely in a short-term rental or hotel.

Based on the future of the city, there are not

enough hotel rooms to accommodate the interest.

Vacation rentals already are accommodating a large population of visitors contributing to our businesses. They need to continue so that all can thrive.

With smart, “Good Neighbor” policies, effective management and tempered regulation (with few stay limits) and accountability, this can be a terrific model for all.

Thank you for your continued support.

Bruce McDermott and Family, Del Mar

Speak out on noise pollution along Camino Del Mar On April 18, I am going to request to speak at the Del Mar City Council regarding noise pollution along Camino Del Mar. I’ve collected approximately 70 signatures on a petition, asking the City to enforce the noise ordinance, specifically with motor vehicles that modify their mufflers in order to produce ear-piercing noise.

For those of us who live or work close to 101, our calm is shattered by motorists accelerating between stop signs.

Many small cities such as Carmel or Pebble Beach, have signs asking motorists not to rev their engines. We are asking Del Mar to do the same. Many people don’t know that some motorists modify their mufflers illegally after they’ve bought their vehicle. Because the noise ordinance has been hard to enforce, nobody stops them. After spending two weekends collecting signatures, almost everyone agreed that it was the biggest source of pollution along the 101 corridor.

If you want something done, please come to the Del Mar City Council Meeting on April 18 and let your views be known.

Richard Levak, Ph.D.

EVENT BRIEF A tip from the SeaWeeders Garden Club to help trees survive the drought How to save your trees during the drought: Be sure to soak your precious trees. Their roots are deep, but without natural rainfall they are dry, and our trees are stressed and dying.

Connect a flexible pool hose to your downspout to direct rainwater from your roof to your trees. Available at many hardware stores, hoses come in 25-foot lengths; they can be coiled and tucked away out of sight between rain events.

For more garden tips come to a SeaWeeders meeting at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of the month at the Center for Healthy Living at the Boys and Girls Club, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

been working on how we can provide a similar program here in Del Mar.” Officially called “Civility Works: The Del Mar Code of Civil Discourse,” the one-page code is a pledge for inclusive and respectful communication practices that foster fruitful dialogue and promote progress.

“Together we will: promote inclusion, listen to understand, show respect, be clear and fair, focus on the issue,” the code states.

“The idea for the code of conduct is something that we have been, particularly at this time, very interested in promoting,” said Jim Forbes, NCRC’s director of fund development, prior to the council’s vote.

NCRC is currently working with the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the cities of San Diego, Chula Vista and Oceanside on the possibility of adopting similar codes, Forbes said.

“We would be very happy if Del Mar would take the leadership,” he said.

Now that the code is adopted, it will be posted on the city’s website, in public meeting rooms and included in meeting agendas.

But the city went a step further to promote its new code.

NCRC’s “Art of Inclusive Communication” course teaches participants how to practice civil discourse, how to find common ground, and how to gain the communication skills needed to move forward. The half-day sessions can accommodate up to 24 people at a fee of $2,500.

Three training sessions have been funded for community members, thanks to a local resident. They will take place in April, with invitations being coordinated by the donor.

The Del Mar Foundation has also offered to fund a training session for the chairs of city advisory committees and committee support staff.

The training session is set for May. “The hope is that if we do these four sessions, and it works as well as I think it will, and it’s well-received, it will just become an ingrained part of our community as a resource that’s available on an ongoing basis,” said Worden, adding that the civil discourse training could become part of the annual training that’s already offered to advisory committee members.

at the close of the year.

A third-party company called Worxtime, an ACA compliance web application, calculated their hours and found that they were not eligible to receive benefits mandated by the ACA guidelines. Although some of the classified employees had worked at least six hours per day, school breaks impacted their totals.

“The 22 employees qualified the year before because when we ran the calculations, we thought that those weeks off shouldn’t be counted. As it turns out, they do count,” Superintendent Terry Decker explained in an interview at the time, adding that the district also calculated the hours. “The Affordable Care Act is built for the corporate world — 52 weeks a year. We have two weeks of winter break. We have a week at Thanksgiving. That time period keeps clocking.”

Several classified employees shared their concerns before the board during the regularly scheduled December meeting, with certificated staff members showing support.

Because the issue was not among the board’s agenda items, however, board members could not speak on the subject, according to the Brown Act. Within days, the district called a special meeting to address the matter, and on Dec. 18, the school board voted unanimously to revise its policies and offer medical insurance for classified employees who regularly work at least six hours per day and 30 hours per week.

“I believe that every difficult situation has a silver lining,” board president Vicki King said at the time. “One of the silver linings in this, among many, is that we, as a board, got to see and believe and feel the passion that you all have for your jobs. “…It really showed me the passion and how fortunate we are as a district to have not just the teaching staff, but the classified staff that do some of the hardest work for our students and our children.”

Although benefits were reinstated through board policy revisions, the issue had already sparked other concerns among some classified staff. They shared their worries with certificated staff, who put them in touch with a representative from the California Teachers Association, which represents the certificated staff. The 325,000-member California Teachers Association is affiliated with the 3 million-member National Education

FROM ACTIVIST, A2 “We watched the tobacco use data go down, and as the tobacco use went down and down, marijuana use went up,” Walker said. “It’s now skyrocketing. That bothered me a lot. It led me to get involved with drug use prevention and advocacy.”

Walker continued to write educational grants for local school districts and other organizations such as Casa de Amistad, a Solana Beach-based nonprofit organization that provides educational mentoring and tutoring services to underserved children and teens in preschool through 12th grade.

In the last 20 years, she has written an estimated $30 million

Association.

Park pointed out that because it is a policy change, the policy could be changed again in the future. For this, and other reasons, classified staff obtained the number of signatures necessary to petition the state’s Public Employment Relations Board to form a union.

Although they gathered enough signatures, the Solana Beach School District objected the group’s petition to form a union three times, Park said.

First, the district asked for a recount. Then the district objected to the “appropriateness” of the union.

“Because they objected to the appropriateness of the union, it kind of gave us an edge,” Park said. “After they objected to the appropriateness of the union, we got more signatures showing more interest. Therefore, it sped the process along because we didn’t need to have an anonymous mail-out ballot vote.”

“That signature gathering has to be 50 percent plus one, or the majority of the people,” added Cynthia Manjarrez, a consultant with the California Teachers Association. “We gathered probably 68 percent. It was substantial.”

Finally, the district requested that supervisory positions not be eligible for membership, of which the group eventually agreed.

“It was inevitable that we were going to be a union because we had all the qualifications, but our district used stall tactics,” Park said.

A total of 219 classified employees are eligible for membership, Manjarrez said, noting that the group is one of the largest chapters for education support professionals in the north coastal area.

“They felt they had no voice,” Manjarrez said. “I think that for any union, the strongest and the biggest benefit is the benefit of speaking collectively.

“One of the reasons the ESP (Education Support Professionals) chose to join forces with CTA is because they were impressed with the services that the teachers received from the California Teachers Association,” she added. “Many of them are very proud of the work they do in serving the students of Solana Beach. They very much consider themselves professionals, and they very much wanted to join the ranks of the teachers.”

Manjarrez does not know the exact number of positons that are not eligible for

in grants for various educational institutions in the region.

“Getting those grants, it’s very competitive, but it’s so rewarding when you get them and you’ve got a good program that you think is viable and important,” Walker said.

It’s also how she came to work with San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth, an organization that works to prevent or reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs by the youth in the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach and surrounding communities. Walker has worked with the organization as a grant writer, advocate and volunteer.

She was one of the people who successfully lobbied the Del Mar Fairgrounds Board of Directors to make the annual San Diego

membership. She said she has requested public information from the district five times since the group initiated the process in the fall, but the district has failed to provide such information.

“They have ignored our request for public information,” said Manjarrez, who is submitting another request for the number of positions and names of the people not being represented.

“Some of those supervisors have contacted us and requested to be part of the union,” she added. “That brings up a whole issue, in terms of what their rights are. Without that information of who they are and what position they hold, we can’t move forward.”

Now that the union is official, initial meetings are being planned for every school site before or after school hours April 11-15, so site representatives can be selected.

“A union is stronger with numbers,” Park said. “At this point, we feel very confident that everybody will become a member. We’re shooting for 100 percent.”

A districtwide meeting for the organization is slated for 7 p.m. April 20 at Skyline, when an election will be held for the group’s president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. A committee will then be established to write the group’s bylaws.

“Representatives will collaborate with their peers on issues, concerns, things that they think would be beneficial, things that are working — the whole shebang,” Park said.

“Once we collaborate then we’re going to start negotiating with the district, working together in alliance with the district in good faith and good intentions for the greater purpose of education in our district, not for a good business model and how to save money.”

Among other concerns, classified staff hope to have prep time, professional development, stipends and other benefits like certificated staff, Park said.

“Those are things that people like us would love to have,” he said.

Superintendent Terry Decker said he is looking forward to working with the group.

“We’re looking forward to working with the leadership of the new organization,” Decker said in an email. “We have outstanding classified staff members in our district, and they are integral to the success of our students.”

County Fair a smoke-free event a few years ago.

More recently, she was among the people who encouraged the Solana Beach City Council in December to prohibit medical marijuana cultivation, deliveries and dispensaries in the city.

“We went around and spoke at city council meetings,” Walked explained. “I was especially active here in Solana Beach because we’re just a small, beautiful community. I didn’t want to see dispensaries on the streets in Solana Beach. I don’t want to see dispensaries on the streets in Del Mar. We don’t need it.”

Walker also works with Health Advocates Rejecting Marijuana, or HARM, a coalition of prevention leaders, law

enforcement and community members to help coordinate, support, develop and implement marijuana prevention strategies in San Diego County, as well as Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana, or CALM, an all-volunteer political action committee dedicated to defeating any effort to legalize marijuana.

Additionally, she attends meetings of the county’s Tobacco Control Coalition, which aims to improve and protect the health of San Diegans by promoting tobacco-free lifestyles and environments.

“This is such a beautiful place to live; it’s such a beautiful community,” said Walker, who has five grandchildren. “I want it to stay the same for my children and grandchildren.”

FROM CHILDREN, A7 Advocates (CASAs). CASAs advocate for the rights and well-being of children living in San Diego County’s foster care system.

Brutten became familiar with Voices for Children about 20 years ago, when she and her husband attended one of the organization’s fundraisers. She recalled bidding on and winning a barn house-style playhouse for her children.

“I started attending the events and sponsoring the cause after that,” she said.

Voices for Children has 1,500 CASAs. With funds from fundraisers like Wine Women & Shoes, Voices for Children aims to help 3,000 children with CASAs and review the case files of all 5,100 children in foster care in the county.

There are more than 900 CASA programs nationwide. Founded in 1980, Voices for Children is among the top five largest in the country and the largest in the Western United States.

“I think this cause has completely overhauled foster care, in a volunteer way,

that’s made such a huge impact,” Brutten said. “We’ve all heard the stories of the horrible situations foster children can be put in. Now there’s this oversight board that cleans it up. This has been really beneficial for San Diego County.”

Brutten became more involved with Voices for Children when the organization launched Wine Women & Shoes in 2012. President and CEO Sharon Lawrence asked her if she would host the inaugural event at her home. Brutten agreed and held the first event at her former residence in Rancho Santa Fe. The following year, she hosted the fundraiser at Lucky Jack Farm.

“It’s a fun afternoon,” said Brutten, who is co-chairing this year’s event with her longtime friend and fellow UCSD alumna Marina Marrelli. Marrelli previously served on the board of the organization.

“I love that ladies can get together and do that much good and raise that much money.

I think that’s pretty cool,” she added. “I’ve always really enjoyed the power of women getting together and doing that.”

Now in its 10th year Wine, Women & Shoes

has produced more than 175 events, which have helped net more than $30 million for various women's and family-related causes.

This is the fifth year the event series has partnered with Voices for Children and is bringing the fundraiser to San Diego County.

Along with wine and shoes, the event will feature food, a runway fashion, marketplace vendors, a live auction and more.

About 200 people attended the 2015 Wine Women & Shoes event, which grossed a record $225,000. Event organizers expect about 225 people this year and hope to raise $250,000.

A limited number of tickets are still available.

“It does sell out, so don’t wait to get your tickets,” Brutten said. “We hope everyone comes out and supports it because it really is a great cause.”

The event takes place 2-5 p.m. April 30 at the Canfield-Wright Estate in Del Mar. Tickets cost $250.

FROM HONOR, A3 Schlesinger was on site for the January 2015 naming ceremony.

“I can’t believe this is happening,” she said at the time.

“It is just so wonderful. It’s a gift for the community.”

Schlesinger also helped get the Solana Beach public transit center constructed on Cedros Avenue and the railroad tracks lowered below street level in the 1990s. She served on the council until 1994, but remained active in the community and local organizations, including the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society.

“I’m proud of her legacy and what she’s done for the community,” said Schlesinger’s daughter, Ann Garrett, who accepted the award on her behalf.

“It just goes to show that her legacy lives on.”

Once the bacteria penetrate the membranes, they encounter the toxins and are killed. Similar attempts to use red blood cell membranes as decoys for attacking bacteria have been pursued at UC San Diego.

Those methods are not designed to kill the bacteria, but to absorb their toxins so they can be removed without harm.

expensive and more flexible than hotels, but the growing number can also be attributed to the ease and effectiveness of online advertising, Adam Birnbaum, the city’s planning manager, has explained in the past.

Dozens of Del Mar rentals are advertised on websites such as Airbnb and Vacation Rental by Owner (VRBO). There are roughly 142 rentals listed on both sites, according to a city staff report. They are scattered throughout the city, with the highest concentration in the beach area.

The issue has caused controversy up and down the coast.

Del Mar’s northern neighbors, Solana Beach and Encinitas, were among the first cities in San Diego County to set limits on short-term rentals. Both cities initially sought to ban rentals, but the California Coastal Commission backed them as a more affordable alternative to hotels, thus increasing public access to the beach.

Solana Beach adopted an ordinance in 2003 that prohibits rentals for fewer than seven days and requires owners to obtain a permit and pay an annual fee. Encinitas adopted a similar ordinance in 2005 that also requires owners to obtain a permit and pay an annual fee. Both ordinances also require owners to post their contact information on the outside of the building and to respond to complaints within a certain amount of time.

With rentals in Del Mar, a number of citizens have expressed concerns regarding noise, trash, parking and the changing community character.

“I understand a lot of people are invested as property managers or purchasing homes to make money,” said Del Mar resident Barbara Johansen. In the Beach Colony, where she lives, some residents live in their homes all yearlong.

Other homes are used as rentals part-time or full-time.

“I think the moratorium would be good because there are two sides two the issue,” she said. “I’m really worried about maintaining the exclusiveness of Del Mar.” “Maintain our community,” agreed Del Mar resident Robin Crabtree, who argued against changes to the residential zones and requested rentals be prohibited for less than 30 days. “I want to focus on all of the residents of Del Mar and all of our neighborhoods of Del Mar, and not just the individuals or the property managers that are trying to make money. I understand that, but we need to think of all of Del Mar.” Others, however, questioned the need for the temporary ban.

“I don’t think the moratorium is necessary,” said Brenda Sampiere, a Del Mar property owner who rents her home.

“It just seems really over-the-top. I think

Headlining the Symposium are Jordan Roberts, “a top tier” Hollywood writer and director; Bill Holshevnikoff, an

we should just get to work, figure out the problem and start finding some solutions.”

As an urgency ordinance, the council had to conclude “that there is an immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare.”

“Is it a health emergency? Is it a safety emergency? Is it a welfare emergency?”

Debbie Church, another Del Mar property owner who rents her home, asked. “I’m just brainstorming. I couldn’t come up with anything that reaches that threshold.

“Does this need to be discussed? Yes. Do we need to work on this? Yes. Is it a problem for some properties? Yes. As a whole, are short-term rentals good for this community? Absolutely.”

A four-fifths vote was required. The council voted 4-0 to approve the urgency ordinance, with Councilman Al Corti absent.

“For those adjacent neighbors, this is a public welfare and public safety issue,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “We don’t yet know the extent of that. We’ve had numerous complaints, but the complaints are probably fewer than a dozen. We need more data to assess how serious the problem is and how best to address it.”

“It’s time to have the council speak to those who are down there and dealing with the pressures of the short-term rentals,” Mayor Sherryl Parks said. “We get the message. We’re going to stop this for a while and do a good job to the alleviate the problem.”

Like the speakers, the council was also divided on the issue. While giving direction to help staff develop new regulations, Parks and Councilman Dwight Worden said they would not amend the municipal code to allow and regulate short-term rentals, while Sinnott and Mosier said they would.

“To me, to say that we’re going to import what at heart is a commercial use — short-term rentals — into the residential zone, starts to breakdown the whole fabric of how we designed the zoning and community plan system to work,” Worden said. “For me, it’s not a use that feels comfortable in the residential zones.”

“I think we’re in a situation where we’re going to have to do some regulation,” Sinnott said. “I don’t like regulation, generally, but I think we’re in a situation where we need to propose a workable solution that allows some rentals and how that should be in Del Mar.” During the discussion, council members gave varying direction on short-term rental locations, limitations, frequency, duration, occupancy limits, permits, enforcement and other issues. They agreed to continue to the conversation in the community and also hold public workshops during the process of drafting new rules. internationally-known, Emmy-winning, lighting designer, educator and filmmaker; Brent Altomare, a multi Emmy-winning filmmaker and principal at Groovy Like a Movie Studios; Paul Babin, the 2012 Society of Camera Operators Lifetime Achievement Award Winner.

Leguizamo brings a ‘Latin History for Morons’ to La Jolla Playhouse

BY DIANA SAENGER “John Leguizamo: Latin History for Morons,” unfolds at the La Jolla Playhouse Mandell Weiss Theatre April 6-17, as part of its Page To Stage New Play Development program. Created and performed by Leguizamo, the show is directed by Tony Taccone, who is returning to the Playhouse after several other productions.

This is Leguizamo’s second Page To Stage New Play at the Playhouse. In 2010, he performed “Ghetto Klown,” which later went on to Broadway and won the Drama Desk and Outer Critic Circle Awards for Outstanding Solo Performance by Leguizamo.

The multi-talented and Emmy Award-winner Leguizamo is known for his comedy in many films (“Chef,” “Super Mario Bros,” “Ride Along”) and as the hilarious voice of the lazy sloth, Sid, in the “Ice Age” movies.

Taccone’s work as the Michael Leibert Artistic Director of Berkeley Rep, new work “Culture Clash,” “Continental Divide” in London and on Broadway, and “Tiny Kushner,” along with many others, has garnered him many accolades. As a playwright, he debuted “Ghost Light,” “Rita

Moreno: Life Without Makeup” and “Game On,” co-written with Dan Hoyle. In 2012, Taccone received the Margo Jones Award for “demonstrating a significant impact, understanding, and affirmation of playwriting, with a commitment to the living theatre.” He said he became aware of Leguizamo’s talents when the actor came to Berkley with “Ghetto Klown.”

“John is astonishing,” Taccone said. “His talents are enormous, his intelligence and obvious comic abilities are top-of-the-line. We also share a culture, as my mother is Puerto Rican. Latin History is something we both inherited, have opinions about, and know stories we want to share.”

With his energy as rampant as that of his Sid character, Leguizamo needs a director who understands that. Taccone said he does and was excited for this opportunity.

“His bordering-on-manic energy is something we have in common.

He’s very serious about his work.

There’s kind of a sheen over the work that makes it look like it’s just put together, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

He’s very much a craftsman, a

rigorous artist who takes the work seriously, in spite of the fact it often borders on lunacy. So like any great clown, he’s a serious artist.”

Taccone said this show is one of the funniest he’s ever worked on.

But also found the historical elements important.

“It’s a carousel of laughs,” Taccone said. “The idea of one man staging the wars between Montezuma and Cortez in the decline of the Aztec Empire and told in three minutes of choreographed insanity is inspired by a man wanting his son to know more about history, and is also a way for John to educate himself and his son. Through this piece, with its challenges and struggles, the audience will understand, be enriched and inspired by the parent/child dynamic of what’s going on and the history itself.”

■ IF YOU GO: “John Leguizamo: Latin History for Morons” runs through April 17 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive. Tickets from $29.

Salsa Nights heat up at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Once a month, salsa dancer Marilyn Klisser spices up Salsa Nights at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar’s “sultry” nightclub Club M. No partners are required for Salsa Night, which starts at 6:45 p.m. with a beginner class followed by social dancing from 7:45 p.m. on with a live salsa band.

“If you can walk, you can dance,” said Klisser, encouraging dancers of all abilities to come out on the last Thursday of every month at Club M. “It’s good for your body, it’s good for your mind, it helps with strength, coordination and it burns calories. Don’t be nervous, you’ll have a blast.”

Known as “The Modern Marilyn,” Klisser has a wave of platinum hair, often paired with dramatic red lips with a flair for fashion that rivals a certain other Marilyn.

Originally from Europe, Klisser was born in Luxembourg to French and Dutch parents. She danced ballet from ages 3 to 14, performing her last ballet performance at age 14 in a production of “Swan Lake” while living in Monaco.

While living in San Francisco and working as a flight attendant, Klisser was re-introduced to her love of dance as an adult after being encouraged by a co-worker to come to a salsa class.

“I was just absolutely hooked, I loved it,” said Klisser who is fluent in Spanish (as well as French) and has always admired the Latin culture.

She took a few more salsa classes but found she really learned the most from social dancing.

In 2006 she joined a professional salsa dancing company in San Diego and danced with them for several years—the group won fifth place in the World Championships of Ballroom Dance for salsa in 2010.

Klisser has taught salsa for heart health in the Sweetwater Union High School District’s adult education program, as well as salsa for teens at Royal Dance Academy. Once a month, she also teaches beginners salsa classes in Coronado at Candela’s on the Bay. Klisser said Club M is a great place to learn salsa as it is such a beautiful setting, the staff takes good care of guests and there is great food and drinks. Salsa Night draws a wide age range of dancers and while there are lots of regulars, Klisser said there are new faces every time.

“I’m pretty good at getting people excited about it and not feeling nervous, I really enjoy breaking down the dance for beginners,” Klisser said. “It’s so much fun, I love teachingm it’s one of the things I love the most.”

Klisser said men have the most to learn when it comes to salsa dancing — the men are the leaders and the women’s job is to follow the best that they can.

The first thing everybody has to learn to dance salsa are the basic steps and the rhythm.

“The rhythm is the most important,

COURTESY

Marilyn Klisser leads Salsa Nights at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. you keep the rhythm with your feet and never stop that rhythm,” Klisser said.

While keeping the rhythm, dancers work in a series of turns and combinations. Salsa is different from paired dancing, such as swing dance, as partners are always moving together and

flowing.

Like salsa, Klisser is constantly in motion.

She works as a hair stylist, is working toward her real estate license, volunteers once a week with the Wheelchair Dancers Organization at Grossmont Hospital with a dancer with Multiple Sclerosis, and has recently launched a non-profit, Dance Away Dementia.

For years during dance classes Klisser has touted the health benefits of dance and it’s ability to “dance away dementia.”

It’s an important issue as more than five million Americans live with some form of dementia today and that number is projected to increase to somewhere between 13.5 to 16 million by 2050.

When she started researching it more thoroughly, she found a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that proved partner dancing, such as tango, salsa and swing, can reduce the risk of dementia by 75 percent.

She is now working on producing a mini-documentary to introduce her non-profit and has generated support with individuals and organizations who want to help the cause.

“This is something that I feel is my calling,” Klisser said. “I feel so passionate about it and want to make a difference and help the world.”

For more on Klisser’s salsa classes and events, visit themodernmarilyn.com. The non-profit’s website will launch April 23 at danceawaydementia.com.

Del Mar Hills 6th graders have fun ‘Roughing It’ in Julian Outdoor education, also known as 6th Grade Camp, provides overnight environmental education experiences to over 6,000 students and 95 schools each year September through June at Camp Marston, in Julian, Calif. Sixth Grade”SurfRiders” from Del Mar Hills Academy students recently had their turn “roughing it” out in Julian — and had a great time.

6th Grade Camp includes, but is not limited to: hands-on experiential outdoor science classes; curriculum aligned with the CA State standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and CA’s Education and the Environment Initiative; high-energy activities in group dynamics, personal challenge and evening programs; and a strong character development program woven throughout the experience.

Using their large outdoor classrooms, Camp

activities are designed to build an understanding of ecological principals and the relationship between each student and the natural world. Cooperation and communication are of paramount importance as students are encouraged to work together and appreciate their individual talents by creating positive social interaction among peers.

Students are also introduced to traditional camp adventures, such as boating, archery, and a 42-foot climbing tower. As soon as the SurfRiders arrived, they were placed with students from two other schools attending camp to create a “three schools, one camp” atmosphere where they would bunk together, eat together, learn together and play together. Del Mar Hills Academy is thrilled to be a part of this incredible learning experience and know its SurfRiders will create life-long memories at camp.

‘A Journey into Mayan Mythology’ subject of next Del Mar Friends of Jung lecture Del Mar Friends of Jung will hold its next Friday lecture April 15, 7:30 p.m., at The Winston School (215 9th Street, Del Mar). $20 non members.

The guest speaker at the event will be

Nancy Romig, who will present “A Journey into Mayan Mythology.”

The manifestation of mythical motifs in dreams, images, and art can provide a window into the personal and collective unconscious. This lecture will explore the manifestations of the archetypes of collective unconscious in the mythological images found in the Mayan culture. A brief overview of Mayan culture and selected archetypal images will also be presented.

Jung’s experiences in Africa, India and in the American Southwest affirmed his belief in the existence of the collective unconscious and the importance of studying mythology as a source of knowledge of the primordial psyche. The structural elements of inner psychic events, situational patterns and experiences are expressed in myths and can lead to a deepening of the individuation process.

Nancy C. Romig, RN, DNSc., Jungian Analyst, is an analyst member of the C. G. Jung Study Center of Southern California and Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at CSU San Marcos. She teaches Advanced Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing and her research focus is on the Mayan culture and mythological motifs. She has a part-time practice in San Diego.

Congregation Beth Amâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speakeasy

T

his year Congregation Beth Am went back in time to the Roaring '20s to celebrate its annual gala. Members and friends of Beth Am got dolled up in their glad rags, flapper dresses and pinstripe suits and headed over to their local juice joint where they "beat their gums" (danced) and enjoyed an evening of blackjack, craps, and roulette â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all in support of the synagogue and its programs.

Guests enjoyed an all-American menu by John Baylin Catering and danced through the decades

from 1920s Charleston to the present with the help of DJ Matt Phipps.

The Speakeasy fundraiser committee was led by Veronica Leff, and included Brian Davis, Juli Bear, Marci Laulom, Kimberly Reckles, Stacey Rael, Susan Mualim and Dorith Weinbaum.

Congregation Beth Am is at 5050 Del Mar Heights Road in Carmel Valley. Visit www.beth.am or contact Executive Director Mark Gulner at 858-48108454 or mark@betham.com.

Financial planner Scott Ashline earns top industry award

BY MARTI GACIOCH Decades of service as a wealth management advisor for Northwestern Mutual recently earned Scott Ashline, CLU, ChFC, the Financial Security Award for having the No. 1 most balanced practice in the western region of the United States.

To be recognized by the industry for this award required Ashline’s financial practice to be well balanced in all facets of insurance, investments and overall planning for all States west of Colorado. Furthermore, Ashline took the No. 2 spot (out of 7,000 financial advisors) for the entire country. Ashline has been one of their top financial planners for almost 25 years, he said with pride.

Ashline and Northwestern Mutual have a proven track record in the financial services industry. Northwestern Mutual serves as an umbrella for several different specialties, including overall insurance and investment planning.

“The main thing of importance to us is having long-term, ongoing relationships with our clients and their families,” Ashline said. “We spend a lot of time learning about each client’s goals and objectives.”

Ashline pointed out that his team members have worked with him for 15-20 years and they’re very close and like-minded.

After graduating with a degree in finance and a minor in

art history from Boston College, Ashline said he took a year off to volunteer with the Jesuit International Volunteers in Belize, where he taught finance and accounting. That volunteer spirit continues through his life.

“To give back to others, our team is involved in volunteering in the community,” Ashline said. “Once a month, we spend a day working at a charity called the Bridge of Hope, where we distribute food to migrants in San Diego.” (Learn more at bridgeofhopesd.org) Ashline also served as Chairman of the Board of the San Diego Boys and Girls Club, and Nation Chief of the YMCA Indian Princess program for fathers and daughters. “I have been helped by so many people throughout my life, so I truly enjoy helping others,” he said.

He recently had an article in Forbes magazine: “Why You Shouldn’t Use Your Retirement Account As A Piggy Bank,” wherein he advises retirees to use caution when considering borrowing from their retirement accounts for short-term needs.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

The Myth of the Home Remedy Vein Cure Many people go out of their way to avoid surgery or other invasive treatment, which is understandable. For some, there is a genuine squeamishness when it comes to needles and the potential for any level of pain. Then there are those who are wary of the time or financial commitment involved in surgical and non-surgical procedures, with added time for recovery. Others yet have a mistrust of traditional or western medicine, preferring the homeopathic approach, favoring herbs, poultices, and essential oils. Thousands of dollars can be spend each year just by one person on supplements and home remedies—even in

MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090 SeriousAccidents.com

the case of varicose and spider veins.

There are popular searches on the internet for “Get rid of varicose veins naturally” and “How to get rid of varicose veins at home.”

There are certainly plenty of results for supplements and remedies to “melt away your symptoms.” Millions of dollars, in fact, are spent a year, both on personal online retailers and at general nutrition stores, on supplements and creams that have no proven medical effects, have not been approved by the FDA, and in some cases can be hazardous to your health. Supplements are an unregulated industry—and because of the fact that 50% of people will develop varicose or spider veins in their lifetime, and many of those will seek home remedies, millions of dollars will continue to be spent on just vein remedies alone. It won’t matter if they are proven to be effective or not because people will continue to buy them, companies will continue to make and sell them for a profit, and until the companies are forced into regulation, new consumers will continue to pay up, seeking magic potions and snake oils.

It is generally a good thing when people make choices toward an active lifestyle and healthy living, including organic eating and avoiding unhealthful habits, especially with diet. In my columns, I’m an active proponent on doing whatever you can to prevent the conditions for varicose and spider veins to proliferate. But the truth is that some people are genetically predisposed to the condition, and there is no 100% proven prevention for any venous condition. And once you develop this condition, no home remedy will make them go away. Pine bark, witch hazel, grapeseed oil, cayenne pepper, immersion baths, green tea, chestnut bark, St. John’s wort, aloe vera, butcher’s broom, arnica Montana, and even turpentine and enemas have all been cited as cures for varicose veins—but they do not work.

Any “improvements” noted from home remedies are a result of the placebo effect.

Topical creams and ointments are a waste of money as well, and even exercise is not a cure (although don’t give up on exercise!).

I know people’s fears of procedures are real. And for those whose mothers had the

old fashioned vein treatments, those fears are not unfounded.

But vein therapy has become much less invasive than the outdated veins stripping of years past. All but the most severe treatment is a quick office visit that is so simple and non-traumatizing that it can be done on a work lunch break. Laser treatment and foam sclerotherapy are stateof-the-art treatments that, for some, involve almost no pain at all.

Varicose veins are a medical condition, and if left untreated, can become something very serious indeed. You do not want to jeopardize your health. But it is good to be informed about your options. Speaking to a medical professional such as a phlebologist can answer many of your questions and put you at ease about treating your vein disease the right way.

If you’re ready for a consultation on removing your spider or varicose veins, or if you just want more information on laser treatment or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website at www. sdveininstitute.com.

Herd of deer quietly thrives next to 10-lane freeway

BY TIM PICKWELL The I-5 freeway is 10 lanes wide where it crosses the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve between Cardiff and Solana Beach. The sounds of downshifting trucks, air brakes and cars carries across the lagoon during afternoon rush hour.

Half a mile east, with the freeway traffic clearly visible, a herd of Southern Mule Deer grazes in the reserve.

Doug Gibson, the executive director and principal scientist for the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, appreciates the incongruity. “We live in a county with a population of over three million, where 85 percent of the people live along the coast, and we can still have a herd of deer a mile from the ocean. They’ve adapted to exist and thrive around here, which I think is pretty exciting.”

A San Diego State University-trained wetlands biologist, Gibson has been directing the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s science-based and community conservation programs for nearly two decades.

In that time, he has seen the reserve’s deer population fluctuate from as low as 10-11, to as many as two dozen.

“The presence of these deer shows the immense importance of these really small eco-systems that we have protected,” Gibson said. He speculates that the deer population once roamed more freely, and have always been part of the lagoon habitat. But, as development closed in around the lagoon, their range shrunk. He says the deer are confined to the east basin (east of the I-5), with the main herd fairly near to Manchester Avenue and the “figure eight pond” east of the weir, while a smaller splinter group ventures up Escondido Creek as far as the El Camino Del Norte Bridge.

“There are a lot of large estates bordering the reserve and Escondido Creek which offer cover and forage as well,” says Jennifer Miller, the supervising park ranger at the reserve for the San Diego County Department of Parks & Recreation. “The deer are frequent visitors to the neighborhoods surrounding the reserve” where deer dining on shrubbery is an almost

Foraging sometimes, unfortunately, includes conservancy restoration projects. “We can put $10,000 worth of plants in the ground,” says Gibson, “and the deer will annihilate them in a week.” Restoration plantings now include plastic cones to protect the young plants from the deer.

Parcels in the reserve are owned separately by the conservancy, county parks, and the State of California. However, the three parties have a joint partnership agreement with the county managing day-to-day operations, trail maintenance and the Nature Center off Manchester Avenue, while the conservancy handles science projects and restoration.

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, there are six subspecies of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in California. Mule deer are sturdier than many of their eastern cousins, have a white rump, and large, mule-like ears. The San Elijo lagoon is home to the southern mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus fuliginatus) whose range is confined to southernmost California and Baja California.

While mule deer herds in Northern California migrate large distances over the course of a year, the southern mule deer mostly stays put.

Gibson believes that development has effectively isolated this herd, as well as the herd

that lives in the eastern lagoon portion of the Torrey Pines Reserve. “The deer are highly unlikely to meet up with deer from another ecosystem,” notes Gibson.

Because of this, the conservancy, and its partners in the County Parks Department and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife, are very sensitive to the needs of the higher mammals as they work on projects to preserve and restore the lagoon.

“We have to keep in mind that we need to keep this deer population sustainable,” Gibson said. The conservancy and partners are preparing for some significant changes, including removing the cement weir that blocks the lagoon east of the 5 freeway, and installing improved visitor and wildlife access under the freeway overpass, thus connecting the eastern and western basins.

“We are mindful of the deer’s habitat, and so we want to ensure they have cover and benches (high ground) to lay down on and be comfortable. But, we also need to ensure that we’re supporting higher mammals that use them as prey, or which are opportunistic, like coyotes and bobcats, which might feed off a carcass.”

The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy recently deployed four motion-sensing “nature cameras” around the lagoon. Gibson was

pleased to note that within the first week, the cameras picked up a bobcat, a deer and a coyote. “Three of the four big mammals, we’re looking for,” says Gibson.

A sighting of the fourth mammal — when it comes — might not be so welcome for the deer.

Over the years there have been credible evidence of mountain lion tracks around the lagoon, and, according to Gibson, the lagoon is within the range of at least one far-roaming mountain lion.

Until the mountain lion arrives, the deer herd is thinned out by natural causes and cars, as the deer sometimes are killed by traffic on Manchester Avenue (which they cross to dine in the strawberry fields) and on La Orinda, on the eastern edge of the reserve. So far, the natural increase of three-four fawns each year has kept up with attrition.

Supervising Park Ranger Jennifer Miller has been at the reserve for six years. “The last official deer census had the number at just under two dozen,” she says.

While the deer spend most of their time in the eastern basin, Miller is one of the few people who have spotted the deer on the west side of the freeway. “One morning a deer came walking down the road at the Nature Center, looking like he owned the place.”

Best Places to Spot Deer: You should plan on very early morning, or dusk. The deer typically sleep under cover during the day, and their coats make them invisible against the native chaparral. You will want binoculars or a telephoto lens. The deer often graze within 50-100 yards of the edge of Manchester Road on the North side of the Lagoon, east of the 5 freeway and cement weir.

From the south, take the Santa Carina trailhead, and walk north past the eucalyptus to the overlook that has two benches and a split-rail wood fence. The deer will typically be due north, or, occasionally, on the island in the middle of the Figure 8 pond to the west. Look for brown or beige lumps (if their heads are down grazing, you won’t see much), and study the area for awhile. Unless they move, you may miss them — even with binoculars.

EVENT BRIEFS FACE Foundation to present 6th Annual ‘Bags & Baubles’

Bernie vs. Hillary: Four top local Democrats to debate at club event

On Sunday, May 1, animal lovers and fashionistas will unite for the premier fundraising event of the season, Bags & Baubles. From 1-5 p.m., the San Diego-based Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) will host Bags & Baubles for its sixth consecutive year at an exclusive Rancho Santa Fe estate to raise funds and awareness for local pets in need of critical or life-saving veterinary care.

Bags & Baubles is a one-of-a-kind event that allows animal and fashion lovers to shop for a cause. Each item available for bid has been donated to the foundation to help raise money to prevent “economic euthanasia,” when families are unable to afford life-saving surgery or treatment for their ill or injured pets.

The costs of hosting Bags & Baubles are entirely underwritten by FACE Foundation’s Board of Directors and event committee, so guests can rest assured that all funds raised at the event will go directly to animals in need.

Along with the silent auction, this event will be complimented by gourmet appetizers, wine and delicious desserts.

Estate tours and spectacular opportunity drawing items will also be available to help raise funds for pets in need.

Established in 2006, FACE is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 public charity that has saved the lives of over 1,400 local pets.

Those looking for information about sponsorships or making a tax-deductible donation can contact FACE by calling 858-450-3223, visiting www.face4pets.org, or emailing events@face4pets.org

Four top local Democrats will debate the relative merits of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders at the April 14 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club.

Progressive activist Martha Sullivan and award-winning investigative journalist John Mattes will speak for Senator Sanders. 77th District Assembly candidate Melinda Vasquez and RSF Democratic Club President Michael Gelfand will support Secretary Clinton. The moderator will be SDSU sociology professor and Del Mar Times columnist Gordon Clanton.

The dynamic Oxford debate format will be employed. Audience members will be seated in sections designated for Hillary/Undecided/Bernie and move from one section to another if persuaded by the arguments of the speakers. Audience members are encouraged to bring signs and wear T-shirts or buttons supporting their favorite.

Each speaker after the first will be encouraged to take into account and perhaps to rebut what previous speakers have said. General discussion will follow.

The Rancho Sana Fe Democratic Club meets on second Thursdays (except for July, August, and December) at 6:30 p.m. at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. The program begins at 7 p.m.. Friendly atmosphere.

Always lots of Q&A. The cost for the April 14 event is $15 for club members and $25 for guests. RSVP at www.rsfdem.org or phone 858-759-2620.

Kitchen Shrink’s Rustic Squid Sauce ■ Ingredients • 3/4-pound fresh squid, tentacles and tubes (sliced into rings) •1/3 cup virgin olive oil • Juice from one lemon • 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped

Pop the Question

R

eaders are constantly querying me about how to solve assorted culinary crises. A panicked newlywed recently contacted me when her husband asked her to prepare a casual meal for his boss who he would be bringing home after their round of golf. He told her to throw some steaks on the barbecue, and bake a couple of potatoes. She was fine with the steak part, but needed advice on the spuds. I told her to preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, scrub the potatoes, rub the skins with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, then stick a fork in them and bake for about 60 minutes.

After an hour she e-mailed me complaining that she had burned her fingers on the inserted fork. While I had told her to stick a fork in the potatoes, she didn’t realize she had to remove it before baking. My mistake for not being crystal clear on the instructions. Now, here are my precise answers to your latest culinary questions.

Q: Is there any way to tenderize calamari?

A: Squid is a treasure of the sea with tender tentacles simmered in sauces, soups, paellas and stews, while the tubes are typically sliced into rings, breaded and fried for a popular calamari appetizer. These rings tend to be chewy, and sometimes even rubbery.

Marinating in milk for an hour or longer will help tenderize the tubes. Also, by cooking low

and slow, or fast over high heat will make this delicacy less of a work out on the jaw.

Q: How can you tell if baking powder and baking soda are still fresh?

A. These powdery white substances are leavening agents to make your cakes and breads rise by a chemical reaction that creates bubbles of carbon dioxide. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a pure base that needs to combine with an acid to counter its acerbic taste. When it mixes with liquids, the chemical reaction is an immediate one. Doughs and batters need to be baked pronto, or the baking soda won’t have leavening effects. Baking powder, on the other hand, is a hybrid being both an acid and a base, blending sodium bicarbonate with cream of tartar and starch, yielding a neutral taste. It is typically used in recipes with other neutral-tasting ingredients like milk.

While these do not spoil, they simply lose their leavening properties. To test for freshness with baking soda blend one teaspoon with two tablespoons of plain vinegar. If it doesn’t effervesce, then discard. For baking powder mix one teaspoon with one-third cup of hot water. If bubbles form then it’ll still do the trick.

Q: Most baking recipes call for unsalted butter, but if I don’t have any on hand can I use salted butter?

A. While baking lends best to sweet cream

• 1 handful fresh flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped • 2 garlic cloves, chopped • Sea salt, oregano, and cayenne pepper to taste To tenderize, pre-soak calamari rings in bowl of organic milk. Rinse.

(Optional).

■ Method: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on medium and sauté garlic until tender. Add squid, tomatoes,

(unsalted) butters, you can still use the salted variety, just don’t add any salt to the recipe.

Q: What is spring garlic?

A. Tender spring garlic, also called green garlic, young garlic or garlic shoots that resembles a baby leek is an immature version of white-skinned American garlic that has not yet developed its mighty bulb of pungent cloves.

While milder in aroma and taste, spring garlic still has the essence of regular garlic, and can be used as a substitute for vinaigrettes, dips, stews, sauces and pesto dishes without the collateral damage of bad breath.

Q: Is there an alternative method for making

WHOLE FOODS

lemon, remaining olive oil and seasonings. Cook until tender (about 10 minutes). Toss with egg noodles and sprinkle with parsley. (Serves 2.)

—Reach the Kitchen Shrink via e-mail: kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

risotto without having to stir the rice constantly until done?

A. Risotto is a creamy northern Italian dish made from super starchy, short grain Arborio rice in a wine and broth sauce. The traditional stove-top preparation is tedious and tiring since it requires continuous stirring until several cups of liquid (adding one cup at a time) are absorbed. An alternative methodology starts with sautéing the rice in wine in an oven-proof dish or Dutch oven, then adding the entire quantity of liquid and baking until the liquid is absorbed and the rice tender.
