Area residents ‘plunge’ into the New Year

DM City Council to honor former Mayor Lou Terrell • Beloved longtime resident was killed by a train Jan. 3 BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar City Council will honor the life of former Mayor Lou Terrell during its Jan. 21 meeting. Terrell, 75, died Jan. 3 when he was struck and killed by a train near Powerhouse Park while chasing his dog across the tracks. A longtime Del Mar resident, Terrell served as mayor and councilman in the 1980s. The council will present Terrell’s family with a proclamation to honor his memory and contributions to the city during the next meeting. “On behalf of the city, I would like to publicly extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Lou Terrell,” said Del Mar Mayor Lee Haydu at the start of the Jan. 6 meeting. “He made a tremendous difference in our community.” Terrell was a retired political science professor and

San Diego’s mayoral runoff election set for Feb. 11 BY PAT SHERMAN Two San Diego City Council members (and San Diego State University grads) are vying to fill the vacancy left by disgraced former mayor Bob Filner in the Feb. 11 special runoff election. Republican Kevin Faulconer, representing Council District 2, received the most votes in the Nov. 19 special election (42.08 percent). Democrat David Alvarez, representing Council District 8, was the second-place finisher (at 27.13 percent). According to the city clerk’s office, the Nov. 19 election cost taxpayers nearly $4.7 million. The Feb. 11 mayoral runoff is estimated to cost an additional $4 million-$4.5 million. Of the 682,449 registered voters in the City of San Diego, 242,747 voted on Nov. 19 (or 35.5 percent). Though the race is technically nonpartisan, the candidates’ endorsements and financial contributions fall along party lines, with Faulconer receiving the lion’s share of business support (including former mayor and San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jerry Sanders) and Alvarez supported by the city’s labor unions and Democratic leaders (including See ELECTION, page 6

Mayoral candidate Kevin Faulconer outlines campaign themes during media meeting BY JOE TASH San Diego City Councilman and mayoral candidate Kevin Faulconer hit on his campaign themes of investing in neighborhoods, fiscal responsibility and public safety in a meeting with community journalists on Saturday, Jan. 4. The campaign for the Feb. 11 mayoral runoff election heated back up this week after a temporary lull during the holidays. Faulconer faces fellow Councilman David Alvarez in the runoff election to determine who will serve the rest of former Mayor Bob Filner’s term, following Filner’s August resigna-

By request of the campaign, journalists were permitted to take notes, but not use electronic devices to record the conversation. Faulconer is a Republican and Alvarez is a Democrat, although the mayor’s office is officially non-partisan. Faulconer said he can appeal to a broad range of San Diegans due to his abili-

Del Mar moves forward with city hall survey BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members can soon share their thoughts on a new city hall for Del Mar in an online survey. The council on Jan. 6 directed staff to issue a survey about replacing the city’s current facilities at 1050 Camino Del Mar. About 40 residents weighed in on what amenities a new civic center should offer, where offices should be located and how the project should be financed during a community workshop on Dec. 2. The council on Dec. 9 discussed issuing a survey so all members of the public could have an opportunity to voice their opinions. At that time, city staff presented a six-page survey draft that posed similar questions to those that were asked during the workshop. Council members requested changes to the survey’s length and language. Staff returned to the council with a simplified version of the survey during the Jan. 6 meeting. At a little more than four pages, the survey allows respondents to provide feedback on the workshop outcomes. “The survey is better,” Councilman Don Mosier said. “It looks good to me.”

During one of his last conversations with Lou Terrell, Councilman Terry Sinnott noted the former Del Mar mayor said the city could accomplish the project. Terrell died Jan. 3 when he was struck and killed by a train near Powerhouse Park. “That’s the kind of positive guy he was,” Sinnott said. “He really wanted us to move forward with it, so let’s move forward.” The city will distribute postcards to about 6,000 residents, property owners and business owners, inviting them to participate online. The city will also send email blasts to its distribution list to further encourage participation. The survey will be posted on the city’s website at www.delmar.ca.us/Pages/CivicCenterPlanning.aspx. Hard copies will be available upon request for those without Internet access. The postcard notices and online survey is expected to cost about $4,000, according to the staff report. Staff intends to present the council with the survey outcomes at the Feb. 18 meeting.

Two teenagers arrested in Carmel Valley on suspicion of burglary BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Two teenagers were arrested on suspicion of burglarizing at least two businesses in the Carmel Valley area of San Diego early Jan. 2, police said. The teens were arrested shortly after they smashed storefront windows to gain entry into The Rush Indoor Cycling Studio at 11130 Ocean Air Drive around 1:45 a.m., according to San Diego police Officer Frank Cali. Prior to The Rush break-in, the teens allegedly broke into another area business the same way. Upon their arrest, the teens were found to have stolen computers in their vehicle, Cali said. Their names were withheld because they are minors.

Torrey Hills planning board says concerns regarding greenbelt project have yet to be addressed by city BY KAREN BILLING Toward the end of 2013, Torrey Hills Community Planning Board members thought they were finally going to be able to get going on a much-delayed project to convert a dirt lot in their community to a greenbelt. The money is in the budget and they found a way to expedite the project for a cheaper cost through privatization, taking the project back from the city. But now it is looking like that isn’t exactly a done deal. “We’re trying to provide residents of Torrey Hills with a nice park and get rid of this blight but it seems like every time our consultant turns around we’ve got another roadblock,” said board member Brad Fagan. The major questions surrounding the project are why is it taking so long and why does it cost so much? After working with consultant Mitch Berner of Public Solutions, the planning board discovered that to build the project privately would not only be cheaper but would take less time — 488 fewer days. Privatization would allow them to begin in Octo-

The money — from Torrey Hills donations and maintenance assessment district (MAD) funds — has been in the budget since 2007. In November the planning board approved spending $290,000 and entering a reimbursement agreement with the city, to ensure money not used on the greenbelt can be returned for use in other areas of the community. But planning board members say that it appears that their plan is not being supported by District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner and that the city aims to use the entire budget on the improvement. Lightner and the rest of city council are currently on legislative break and could not be reached for comment by presstime. At a Dec. 17 MAD meeting, member Guy Ravad questioned the city staff on how they could settle the reimburse-

The Counter restaurant at Del Mar Highlands closes

The city of Solana Beach has several Citizen Commission vacancies. Volunteers are needed to serve on behalf of the City Council. Applications are being accepted through: Tuesday, Jan. 14, by 5:30 p.m. The City Council will make appointments at the Jan. 22 City Council meeting. Vacancies exist on the following Citizen Commissions: Budget & Finance, Parks & Recreation, Public Arts Advisory, Public Safety and View Assessment. Please contact the City Clerk with questions regarding the application process at (858) 7202400 or visit http://www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us/ (type in Citizen Commissions in search file)

BY KAREN BILLING The Counter restaurant in Del Mar Highlands has closed. The custom-burger eatery had been open since 2011. According to Mary Park, who handles public relations for The Counter, three of the San Diego Counter locations are now closed but they plan to open a new store in Del Mar soon. Elizabeth Schreiber, the manager of Del Mar Highlands Town Center, said they are in talks with the restaurant’s owner regarding the status of the business. “We expect it may take a few weeks for the issue to be resolved,” Schreiber said. “In the meantime, we will continue to strive to give our customers the best shopping, dining and entertainment experience possible at the center.”

Poll workers needed for special elections Donations needed to create Loren Nancarrow Healing Garden in San Diego and Solana Beach •Benefit concert also scheduled at The Belly Up

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The San Diego County Registrar of Voters put out a call recently for poll workers for special elections in San Diego and Solana Beach on Feb. 11. In San Diego, a runoff election will determine who will finish the term of ex-Mayor Bob Filner, who stepped down Aug. 30. Councilmen David Alvarez and Kevin Faulconer won the most votes in the primary election. Solana Beach residents will vote on Proposition B, a ballot measure that would allow special use permits to be issued for the Fletcher Cove Community Center. According to the registrar’s office, there will be 573 polling places in San Diego and eight in Solana Beach. Poll workers do not need to live in those cities to take part in staffing the polls, but they must have transportation to their assigned location. Depending on the job assignment, they may need access to the Internet to take an online training and attend a two-hour class. All poll workers receive a stipend ranging from $75 to $175 depending on the assignment. Those who are bilingual receive an additional $15 if assigned to provide language assistance to voters. The registrar’s office said people who can speak Chinese, Filipino, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Spanish and Vietnamese are especially needed. Prospective poll workers can apply online at sdvote.com. More information can be obtained at (858) 565-5800 or email at pollworker@sdcounty. ca.gov. The Registrar of Voters office has moved; the new address is 5600 Overland Ave., San Diego, 92123.

More than $107,500 has been raised toward a $500,000 goal for the Loren Nancarrow Healing Garden at Scripps Health. Nancarrow, a well-known San Diego broadcast journalist and Solana Beach resident, passed away at age 60 on Dec. 28 after a 10-month battle with brain cancer. After his diagnosis, he became focused on creating a legacy that would help other cancer patients in San Diego. It is the hope to keep the fundraising momentum going to create a place of healing for cancer patients as well as a place where Nancarrow’s children and grandchildren can feel his presence for decades to come. To donate, go to Scripps.org/Loren. A benefit concert featuring the music of The Highwayman will be held at The Belly Up Tavern on Feb. 9. Doors open at 6 p.m., the concert begins at 7 p.m. Visit www.bellyup.com.

Accomplished CCA teen’s writing career continues to flourish

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local playwright Devyn Krevat will soon see her script come to life. And she’s only 17 years old. The Canyon Crest Academy senior’s “Fairy Tale” will debut in March during Playwrights Project’s 29th annual Plays by Young Writers festival, which features winning scripts from its California Young Playwrights Contest. “It’s so rare to get something put on stage,” Devyn said. “This is a crazy opportunity.” Playwrights Project received 165 contest submissions from students across the state. Four scripts will receive full professional productions, and five scripts will receive staged readings. All contest participants who requested feedback received individualized written critiques. “It’s exciting because winners get their play produced in a professional theater with professional actors and professional designers,” said Program Manager and Producer Derek Livingston, who spearheaded the evaluation process. “They get to go through the whole process of playwriting — writing a play, having it chosen, sitting in on production meetings, working with the director, watching it in rehearsal and ultimately seeing it on stage in front of an audience. “There is no greater chance for a playwright of any age to develop as a writer than to go through that process. To do so at such a young age is tremendously helpful.” The roughly 20-minute play, “Fairy Tale,” features a narrator who fights for control as traditional fairy tale characters defy their prescribed roles. Devyn wrote a 10-minute version of the play two

Devyn Krevat’s “Fairy Tale” will debut in March at the Plays by Young Writers festival. Courtesy photo years ago, during a writing camp at Stanford University’s Education Program for Gifted Youth. She submitted a revised version to Playwrights Project. “The narrator is trying to tell the story, but his characters are acting out against him because they’re not happy with the situation that they’re placed in,” she said. “They’re kind of tired of it.” Founded in 1985, Playwrights Project reaches as many as 15,000 people each year through a variety of programs for children and adults. Devyn discovered her passion for playwriting when the nonprofit organization held a writing workshop at Solana Pacific Elementary School. Then a sixth grader, she won a staged reading of her first play, “Case of the Missing Pencil Tips,” in 2007. “Theater is the only art form where you have that connection with the audience — to have them present and responding,” she said. “It’s cool to write a play and then see it put on.” Devyn is founder and president of her school’s Creative Writing Club, which launched its annual CCA Writers Conference in 2012. In addition to writing, she enjoys playing piano and guitar. She plans to study mathematics and playwriting in college. “Devyn is a very bright young woman,” said Livingston, who has worked in theater for 25 years. “She really knows and has a sense of when things are working and when the story isn’t being told quite the way she imagined or hoped. It is very exciting to watch her because she is almost a professional at this point, having done this process before.” The festival will take place March 6-16 at The Sheryl and Harvey White Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe. General admission tickets cost $20. Discounted tickets for seniors, students and military cost $15. Opening night and reception tickets cost $50. To purchase tickets, call 858-384-2970 or email write@ playwrightsproject.org. For more information about Playwrights Project, visit www.playwrightsproject.org.

FAULCONER continued from page 1 ty to work with members of both parties to achieve the city’s goals. But he faces a demographic challenge, as Democrats enjoy a substantial registration advantage over Republicans in San Diego. According to the county Registrar of Voters office, 39 percent of the city’s 652,429 registered voters are Democrats, 26 percent are Republicans, and 28 percent indicate no party preference. “It’s not about being a Republican or Democrat, but what’s best for San Diego. That’s how you win elections,” Faulconer said. Faulconer does enjoy an advantage in one statistical measure — campaign funds. Recently filed campaign statements showed Faulconer raised $1.4 million in 2013, compared to $524,000 for Alvarez. During his tenure on the council, Faulconer said he has worked to make the city more financially stable, including efforts to reform employee pensions and require city employees to

compete for contracts against private firms, a process called “managed competition.” Pension reforms have included a 2012 ballot measure, in which city voters approved the elimination of guaranteed pensions for new city workers other than police officers, replacing them with a 401k-style retirement savings plan. Still, the city’s pension costs continue to climb. This year’s city pension contribution is $275 million, from a $2.8 billion total budget. When he took office, said Faulconer, the annual pension contribution was $165 million. The city has also moved to implement managed competition and, according to Faulconer’s staff, will save $10 million per year thanks to the five competitions held so far, all won by city employees, including such services as fleet maintenance and printing. Additional competitions are planned for such services as trash pickup. Another priority if elected, said Faulconer, is streamlining the develop-

ment review process so that plans for new construction and remodeling projects, whether for businesses or residents, are reviewed within a set period of time. Too often, he said, projects have been unnecessarily delayed due to ponderous processing by city departments. Amid an electrifying playoff run by the San Diego Chargers, Faulconer said that as mayor he would support a proposal for a new Chargers stadium if it makes financial sense, and if it is approved by voters, possibly at either the city or countywide level. He would not commit to being either for or against the use of public funds to

help pay for a new stadium. “I’m not convinced we need to use public funds,” he said. “My priority is using public funds for our neighborhoods, and not for a new stadium.” Another priority, Faulconer said, is increased staffing and retention for the San Diego Police Department, which he said is short by 130 officers. On the contentious issue of medical marijuana dispensaries, Faulconer said he supports access to the drug for people who need it, along with protections for San Diego neighborhoods. He said a revised medical marijuana ordinance is expected to come before the City Council soon.

He is survived by his wife, Juvenile Court Judge Carol Isackson, and stepchildren, Amy and Joel Isackson. Friends and family celebrated the life of Terrell during a memorial service Jan. 5 at the Powerhouse Community Center. Haydu and San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts were among those in attendance. “Lou had an infectious

He cared deeply for this community and everyone in it.” “He made my life so much richer by knowing him. He was just wonderful,” said Roberts in a phone call prior to the meeting. “Anytime I needed something, I could call him and he’d help me. He was always trying to help others. That’s how I’m going to remember him.”

Faulconer did not offer a position on One Paseo, a controversial proposed mixed-use development in Carmel Valley, but said the city should weigh community concerns with clearly delineated development rules in an open and transparent process.

There are many restrictions on the site as not only does it have to remain an SDG&E easement, but it is also protected as environmentally-sensitive land as part of the city’s Multi-Habitat Planning Area. The design plan is simple and the bare minimum because of all the limitations — the space will be refreshed with native plants, stacked boulders and a decomposed granite walking

Alvarez supported the measure and Faulconer opposed it. “We should be making it easier for businesses to expand,” Faulconer said. “The damage it will do while we are trying to create jobs is a huge reason I was opposed to it.” Note: A feature on candidate David Alvarez will run in next week’s issue of this newspaper (Jan. 16).

Ravad is concerned that the city wants to spend the entire budget “to show us how to do an outhouse for the cost of a mansion.” “The planning board doesn’t want to spend $450,000 on nothing,” said member Guy Ravad. “It looks like a flat dump site. We want to make it look good, but we don’t want to spend half a million dollars on this.” The hope is that Lightner will come to the planning board this month to discuss the plan for the site, which the board has yet to see. City representatives at the MAD meeting said that the money in the budget is being used like a bank account and they draw from it as needed — so far some has been taken out for biological studies and engineering. But Ravad said there is a trust issue and the board is concerned that the community might not ever see those leftover funds.

Local researchers study complicated grief BY KRISTINA HOUCK Everyone mourns differently, but some people are unable to heal. Complicated grief may affect as many as 1 out of 10 individuals who have lost a loved one, said Julie Avanzino, research coordinator for the San Diego site of a four-site complicated grief treatment study called “Healing Emotions After Loss,” or H.E.A.L. Complicated grief occurs when acute grief is prolonged, causing distress and interfering with functioning. Healing does not occur. “Our team feels that grief is a natural response to bereavement. It never completely goes away for anyone, but it’s a process,” said Avanzino, a Carmel Valley resident. “It begins acute, and as time progresses, eventually there’s acceptance. In this manner, acute grief becomes integrated and recedes into the background. You still experience it. It might come up again during the holidays, a birthday or an anniversary, but it doesn’t consume your day-to-day life.” For many years, the

Researchers involved with the “Healing Emotions After Loss“ study are still accepting participants who think they may be dealing with complicated grief. mental health community treated grief as depression. There is still some confusion about the condition in the mental health field, said Sidney Zisook, the principal investigator of the study’s San Diego site. Although research centered on complicated grief began in the 1990s, mental health professionals are just now identifying it as a condition. In 2013, the

condition was included for the first time in the DSM-5, the American Psychiatric Association’s guide to mental disorders. To further study the condition, H.E.A.L. launched in New York, Boston, Pittsburgh and San Diego roughly four years ago.

Planned Parenthood establishes fund to honor Lou Terrell In honor of former Del Mar Mayor Lou Terrell, Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest has established a fund in his name to ensure reproductive rights and access to care. Terrell served in several key leadership positions, including chair of the Board of Directors at Planned Parenthood for more than three decades. A tireless advocate of social justice, Terrell was fatally struck by a train last week while walking his dog in Del Mar. Longtime friend Mary Ann Emerson says Terrell would be proud to know that the Lou Terrell Fund has been created to contribute to the cause he believed in so dearly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lou was one of the most compassionate people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever known,â&#x20AC;? says Emerson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He understood how important Planned Parenthood was to women, and he worked so they could receive the care they deserved.â&#x20AC;? Another close friend and Del Mar resident, Rosanne Holliday, says Terrell understood issues of reproductive rights in a deep and meaningful way because he was a feminist at heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being an activist for Planned Parenthood was natural for him,â&#x20AC;? says Holliday, smiling as she remem-

Terrell loved sharing with friends that he was literally born to work with Planned Parenthood because the obstetrician who delivered him was president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Alan Guttmacher. The Guttmacher Institute is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected sources for research, policy analysis and education in the fields of reproductive health. Terrell was fond of saying that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with Planned Parenthood since the day he was born. Terrell was active in numerous progressive causes, as well as being an active member of the Del Mar community, where he once served as mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether advocating for access to reproductive health care, or equal rights â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in our local Del Mar community or the greater San Diego community at large â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lou was the consummate community leader,â&#x20AC;? says Planned Parenthood board alumna Linda Katz. Holliday agrees wholeheartedly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lou was responsible for creating the Summer Twilight Concert Series in Del Mar, which is absolutely magical,â&#x20AC;? she says. Terrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends say he was a devoted father, husband and friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone in my family loved him whether they were 5 years old or my age; Lou could connect with anyone,â&#x20AC;? says Emerson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will be so missed.â&#x20AC;?

Education Matters/Opinion

Evolutionary revelations B Y MARSHA SUTTON When I received this email message from my Marsha Sutton cousin – “We’re doomed; we’re just so utterly doomed.” – I figured it was his usual cynical hyperbole. But after clicking the link and reading the article, I confess I share some of his gloom. The Pew Research Center’s recent survey on evolution found that 60 percent of Americans accept the principle of evolution of the human species while 33 percent don’t. [The remaining respondents were undecided.] The question was phrased to ask whether respondents believed humans have evolved over time or existed in their present form since the beginning. [http:// w w w. p e w f o r u m . org/2013/12/30/publicsviews-on-human-evolution/] The difference in opinion on this issue between Republicans and Democrats

is striking. In 2009, 54 percent of Republicans and 64 percent of Democrats embraced the principle of evolution. Today. it’s 43 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats. That means the majority of Republicans and one-third of Democrats don’t believe humans have evolved over time. Of those who identify as Independents, 28 percent reject evolution. Women are 10 percentage points more likely than men to disagree with evolution, with 55 percent accepting and 38 percent rejecting (65 percent of men accept evolution and 28 percent reject it). Pew also found that the older one is, the less likely they are to support evolutionary science. Saying humans have evolved over time are 68 percent of those 18-29 years old, 60 percent of those 30-49, 59 percent of those 50-64, and 49 percent of those 65 and older. Education is also a factor. Saying they agree with evolution are 72 percent of college graduates, 62 percent of those with some college education, and 51 percent with a high school diploma or less. The survey was based on telephone interviews of 1,983 adults 18 years or older, from all 50 states, between March 21 and April 8, 2013. I want to attribute the unsettling findings to the notion that scientifically-oriented people don’t respond to anonymous telephone surveys. But I’m grasping at straws. Another straw, that the margin of error might be unusually high, is also just as flimsy, because it’s only the standard 3 percentage points. So what are we to make of this survey? Just a theory? As we move to implement the new national Common Core standards in our schools, which seek to address the deficiencies in America’s education system, one wonders how educators plan to improve the academic achievement of our children when so many among us believe it’s acceptable to reject overwhelming scientific evidence about human origins in favor of an allegorical creation story. We’ve heard the argument that evolution is just a theory; therefore, it is not proven. But disputing the theory of evolution is like disagreeing with the theory of gravity. Asking people if they “believe” in evolution betrays a bias in the question itself. Would you ask someone if they “believe” in gravity? This is the definition of the word “theory,” according to LiveScience.com: “When used in non-scientific context, the word ‘theory’ implies that something is unproven or speculative. As used in science, however, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena. “A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been

supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step – known as a theory – in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.” The news over the years is peppered with reports of biology textbook controversies in state after state – notably and most recently in Texas, where self-described creationists on the state Board of Education are objecting to biology textbooks that teach evolution, Charles Darwin’s findings on the origin of our species, natural selection, DNA and fossil evidence, and the geologic age of the earth. Because Texas is so large, and its adoption of textbooks has ramifications nationally, it matters, even to far-away states like ours. When we teach our children to respectfully challenge notions that have not been rigorously substantiated and verifiably supported with well-founded scientific evidence, then we are teaching kids how to respect their natural curiosity and to be good scientists. But when we teach our kids to ignore science and reject meticulously-tested evidence, in favor of personal beliefs unsupported by any logical or objective methods, we are teaching them to disregard truth, embrace unscientific ideology, and close their minds to the reality of the world around them. As we try to elevate the intellectual power of our youth, religious convictions in fact-based science textbooks are contra-indicated for success. With Darwin’s theory of evolution universally accepted by the scientific community, teaching children alternate versions of reality is not teaching – it is indoctrination. Locally, in the San Dieguito Union High School District, we can thank trustees, the superintendent, principals, and department chairs for ensuring that science is taught, religion is respected, and both can co-exist peacefully – just not together in the classroom. God’s timepiece Americans are a deeply religious people. But that doesn’t mean religion and science have to be incompatible. According to the Pew poll, of the 60 percent who said

to write about topics that were very different for me,” Mark said. “I was really touched by the outpouring of support from my readers and was so proud to have ended the journey with Jennifer Schario Hicks, of Real Life Parenting, who is a great writer and someone I’m happy to now call a friend.” Mark won immunity the week she got the highest score for her fictional post about being arrested for protesting at the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk, and she received a perfect score from the judges for “Lesson Learned,” about her high school experience with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which was later picked up by The Huffington Post. Last week, Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop named Mark “Humor Writer of the Month,” and reposted her winning Blogger Idol piece, “Amster-damn.” “What an honor that is!” Mark said. “Erma Bombeck has always been one of my idols.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

San Diego Mayor’s Update BY TODD GLORIA, INTERIM MAYOR, CITY OF SAN DIEGO Dear Friends, As we begin 2014 with resolutions, renewal, and hope for great things in the months ahead, I am happy to report the City’s forecast looks bright. Late last year, I released the City’s Five-Year Financial Outlook. The financial forecast for Fiscal Years 2015 through 2019 includes critical information as the City Council and members of the public begin to formulate priorities for the FY 2015 budget, which will be considered in Spring 2014. The Outlook projects a one year baseline budget deficit of approximately $19 million for FY 15, followed by surpluses through FY 19. I fully expect we will be able to overcome the projected FY 15 deficit without sacrificing needed services, thanks in part to higher than anticipated property tax revenues. With smart decision making, the City of San Diego will have a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2015. This is good news. That being said, as Interim Mayor and Council President, my primary focus in 2014 will be on our City’s infrastructure. The City

Interim Mayor Todd Gloria currently has a backlog of deferred capital projects with a price tag of at least $898 million. These capital projects include sidewalks, streets, streetlights, fire stations, storm drains, parks, and libraries. This month, my Council colleagues and I will be voting on a $120 million infrastructure bond that includes over $43 million earmarked for street resurfacing. The passage of this proposed bond at Council would be a step in the right direction. However, to be America’s Finest City and remain economically competitive, we must continue to work together to develop solutions on how we will pay for the remaining infrastructure upgrades. Councilmember Mark

Kersey, chair of the City Council’s Infrastructure Committee, has done an excellent job leading this charge. Last year, he kicked off a series of community workshops to solicit input from residents on what kinds of improvements they would like to see in their neighborhoods. I look forward to continuing to work with and support Councilmember Kersey in this role. If you tweet, you can follow the City’s infrastructure conversation on Twitter – #RebuildSD. While we start 2014 with good news about the City’s financial outlook, I am up to the challenge of addressing our infrastructure needs, and welcome your input on what infrastructure improvements make sense for San Diego. Please email me at toddgloria@sandiego. gov. Finally, I invite you to join me at the State of the City Address on Jan. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Balboa Theatre Downtown. Come and learn about the progress we’ve made so far, and what we can accomplish together in this new year. I hope your 2014 is filled with great health and good fortune. As always, thank you for the opportunity to serve.

REVELATIONS continued from page 10 humans have evolved over time, 32 percent say evolution is “due to natural processes such as natural selection” while 24 percent say God or a supreme deity played a role in evolution. Of all Pew’s findings, this one is the most encouraging, because it indicates that a large segment of the population (well, 24 percent of 60 percent) is able to distinguish between science and faith, and have both coexist, each in its own realm. A Catholic nun I once met told me she fully endorsed the theory of evolution as fact, based on all the incontrovertible scientific evidence. But she also said that science and religion need not be mutually exclusive. Although she firmly believed that God made the world and all things in it in six days of creation, her way of reconciling the two positions was this: “We just don’t know what kind of a watch God has.” However, George Coyne, a Roman Catholic priest and former director of the Vatican Observatory

who holds a Ph.D. in astronomy, issued a statement in 2005 about what’s called “intelligent design,” saying it “isn’t science even though it pretends to be. If you want to teach it in schools, intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural history is taught, not science.” Many religious schools teach evolution as part of their science curriculum and teach the biblical stories of creation in classes on religion. The hoped-for result is that students come away with a scientific understanding of the universe and how life on earth was formed, and are able to successfully integrate their faith-based beliefs to complement rather than undermine the science.

I’m reminded of famous astronomer Carl Sagan who, when speaking about the majesty of the universe, said the beauty of the cosmos and the laws of nature allow space for a belief in God. However, Sagan also said, “It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” Evolution need not threaten religious faith. But let’s not allow religious beliefs to threaten instruction in science. Teach our children science in biology classes – and leave religion for theology lessons and for churches, synagogues and mosques. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Looking ahead MAYOR’S VIEW A s the newly appointed Mayor, I would like to take this opportunity to introLee Haydu duce myself and Del Mar Mayor our vision for the upcoming year. Annually, the City Council appoints a mayor to serve a one-year term. On Dec. 9, 2013, with the City Council’s unanimous support, I began my term as your next Mayor. I have lived in Del Mar for 31 years, raising two beautiful daughters with my late husband. And I have been actively involved in the local community, participating in various committees and groups. My goal is to work with my colleagues on the City Council to help resolve challenges by encouraging public par-

ticipation and thoughtfully analyzing solutions. Our vision for the upcoming year includes some significant projects. First, we will be working towards making a decision on the location for City Hall offices and for our Town Hall. The existing City Hall is operating in the former St. James Academy/Del Mar Elementary School at 1050 Camino del Mar. Originally built in 1921 and expanded in the 1950s, 45 percent of the original building is limited to storage because of seismic instability. Additional mobile trailers provide staff offices and meeting space. Current seismic and accessibility requirements, as well as maintenance and space needs, indicate the facility is beyond its usable lifespan as a City Hall. Keep your eye out for an upcoming survey to give the City Council your feedback about a new Civic Center. Additionally, the City Council, with input from the community, will be working towards implementing solutions for park-

ing issues that meet the community’s needs in the business area as well as in the residential areas. And the City will begin work on a major sidewalk, street, and drainage improvement project this spring. The project will begin in the Beach Colony between 22nd Street and 29th Street. The City will be correcting the issue of ponding water and drainage as well as constructing sidewalks in the areas that are missing sidewalks and repair the street as needed. My goal is to use this message to keep the public informed on important news regarding the future of our beautiful city. I look forward to working with the City Council and listening to residents and business owners to implement our vision. For more information: Del Mar City Hall: 1050 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, Calif., 92014-2698. Telephone: (858) 755-9313 Fax: (858) 755-2794; www.delmar.ca.us

‘You made our lives so much richer’ BY COUNTY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS Last week, Del Mar resident Lou Terrell was killed in an awful accident by an Amtrak train while he was trying to save his canine companion Abe from an oncoming train along the coastal bluffs. This was terrible news for everyone, including me. Lou was a great leader and a true friend. I am one of many friends who join family members in sympathy over his untimely passing. Even though I am sad that Lou will no longer physically be present in our lives, I was so pleased that a standing room of family and friends overflowed the Del Mar Powerhouse this past Sunday less than 45 hours after his death to celebrate his life and his many accomplishments. I first met Lou over eight years ago after I began serving on the Solana Beach City Council and had already been active in local and regional affairs. Lou’s contributions to his beloved Del Mar where he served as councilmember and Mayor are well known. But he was also very active as the former President of Planned Parenthood San Diego/ Riverside County, as a former board member of ACLU San Diego/Imperial Counties, as a co-founder of the Del Mar Foundation with Joel Holliday, and he was on the board of the Foundation for Change. He was also active at San Diego State University, where he was a political science professor and helped to groom future leaders on and off campus. Our shared passion for equality for all people was quickly apparent and over time led to a growing friendship. It was through Foundation for Change, a nonprofit dedicated to social justice, where we cemented our friendship. Lou had heard that my family and I lived in the former home of the singer Miss Patti Page in Solana Beach and he asked if he could hold a Meet & Greet social there. When he was at our home one day preparing for this event, he asked me how I had so many children. We talked about the county’s foster to

adoption program and how we were blessed with a number of adopted children. It was then that we learned that Lou’s wife, Juvenile Judge Carol Isackson, had been involved in my family’s creation during the adoption process of some of our foster children. Clearly it’s a small world, but this was a touching coincidence. As our friendship grew, I saw how seamlessly Lou helped others reach their potential. We both loved politics and how to make the system work to improve the lives of the citizens in the region. In my case, Lou supported my attempts to expand my ability to serve others in San Diego County with time, energy and resources. Lou helped me to understand the dynamics of the Del Mar community and he helped to connect me with former mayors when I was running for County Supervisor. And Lou was always ready to lend a hand to help and encourage others to help, too. In fact, Lou came to my birthday party at my house last month to help begin my re-election campaign. Lou was a survivor physically and mentally. He had battled and overcome brain cancer. With good humor we discussed both the joys and challenges of our aging bodies. Even with this ailment, Lou always repeated a number of his favorite expressions including, “That’s just wonderful” and “you made my life so much richer.” Lou loved to walk his dog Abe as much as I enjoy walking my dog, Cutie, which I do with my kids. Lou always counseled me to enjoy each day and to recognize that we only get so many days in our lives, so we had better make the most it. For me, that is one of the toughest ironies. To the Terrell-Isackson family and all who knew him, Lou truly made our lives so much richer. Lou was just a wonderful man, and it is wonderful that our paths crossed so many years ago. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Lou Terrell’s family appreciative of Del Mar community’s love and support The family of Lou Terrell would like to express to the Del Mar community its gratitude for the outpouring of love, support and concern following the sudden and devastating loss of Lou. Lou loved and was dedicated to this community for more than 40 years. The response during the last few days confirms just how special Del Mar is. With nearly 500 people attending Lou’s memorial, the demonstration of warmth was both stunning and healing to our family. Many of you kindly dropped off flowers, baked goods and food that did not have cards attached. We want to thank each and every one of you for your profound thoughtfulness. No superlatives can describe our gratitude to Del Mar Lifeguard Chief Pat Vergne, Deputy Chief Mark Rathson, Lieutenant John Edelbrock and the rest of the lifeguard staff for their guidance and support through this painful process. They anticipated our every need before we knew it existed and managed every detail of the memorial with not only professionalism, but empathy. We would also like to thank the Del Mar Firefighters and San Diego County Sheriff for their kindness and sensitivity. Lou always used to say that living in Del Mar was like living in paradise. He was right. Thank you from the Terrell, Isackson, Groban Family

Remembering Lou Terrell BY GORDON CLANTON My friend Louis Terrell, 75, died Friday, Jan. 3. He was struck by a northbound Amtrak train while saving his beloved yellow Labrador Retriever Abe. Lou’s wife is Juvenile Court Judge Carol Isackson. Lou was a retired political science professor and department chair at San Diego State University where I also teach, but we met in Del Mar community activities. Lou was a former mayor of Del Mar, serving on the city council from 1980 to 1984. He was one of the founders in 1982 of the Del Mar Foundation, sponsor of Twilight Concerts at Powerhouse Park, First Thursdays performances, and other cultural arts programs. Lou was a natural leader. He was the point guard on his high school basketball team in Baltimore and a student leader in high school and college. His Ph.D. was from Stanford. He chaired the SDSU Political Science Department for 12 years. He was board president at Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside Counties and at the Foundation for Change, a nonprofit serving border and immigrant communities. He also served on the regional board of the American Civil Liberties Union and recently joined the board of the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club. Lou was soft-spoken, not flashy or pushy. He led by example and by developing personal relationships with and among those with

whom he worked. He was smart, tough, pragmatic, strategic, and patient. A common T o quevillean theme of these columns is to emphasize the importance of volunteers and of voluntary associations in creating and maintaining our shared quality of life. Del Mar is a community with a very high level of citizen involvement. No one better exemplified the volunteer ethic than Lou Terrell. Lou loved his dogs, Abe and Rocket and Pablo and the rest. Before he retired from teaching, he routinely took his dog with him to the university. Only recently did I learn that one of the dogs peed on the dean’s desk. So it was ironic but not completely surprising that this gentle man lost his life saving his dog from harm. Lou had a large soul, an enormous generosity of spirit, a deep commitment to justice. Lou was a mensch. I will miss his good company, but we are all richer because he lived among us. In lieu of flowers, Lou’s family suggests contributions to Planned Parenthood or the ACLU. Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu.edu.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Thank you, Lifeguards If you were one of the hundreds of friends, neighbors, kids and/or dogs down at the Del Mar Beach Safety Center New Year’s Day, you will want to join me in thanking our incredible Del Mar Lifeguards for a fun-filled morning. The Penguin Plunge brings out the best in us with ideas of a fresh start to the New Year and a real “I can do this spirit!” Thank you Del Mar Lifeguards for all that you do! Lynn Gaylord, Del Mar

SB City Council is ‘Dead Wrong’ Prop B is not complicated. It simply guarantees that citizens of Solana Beach will be able to use Fletcher Cove Community Center for private/family celebrations. Since Prop B establishes no new city ordinances, this expanded use will be consistent with current and existing city rules and regulations. So why has this fight to restrict residents from using the Center been going on for almost three years? Because a small, vocal and passionate group of neighbors surrounding the Center have convinced the City Council that their “public health and safety” are at risk. I cannot explain this except to say that sometimes “the squeaky wheel gets the oil.” The Community Center has been located on the same ocean-front property for more than 70 years. Many families have raised their children around the facility. The current families now have a beautiful park and playground at the lower beach level and a two-tier park adjacent to the Center. Their property values have been greatly enhanced by the improvements to the Fletcher Cove Beach Park and the Community Center. However, this is not their private park and not for their private use. It belongs to the taxpayers of Solana Beach. Any Solana Beach resident should be allowed to rent this facility and the adjacent patios for a private family celebration. It is the only ocean-front venue we have in the City for our residents to use and enjoy. The City Council should be supporting full use of this Center and not spending thousands of our tax dollars to restrict the use of it. Don’t allow the City Council to mislead you. I urge you to become informed. Review and listen to past Council meetings when this issue was on the agenda. Read the Lounsbery report which the Council commissioned to provide them with objective data. Ask the right questions. Like why did the Council totally ignore the Lounsbery report? And why did they bring it up two weeks after they had made the decision to call for a special election? I can assure you on this issue, the Solana Beach City Council is “dead wrong.” Vote “YES” on Prop B. Mary Jane Boyd, Solana Beach

SB parking problem has not been adequately addressed There is a lot of focus on the Community Center at Fletcher Cove. Some of us have lived in Solana Beach long enough to remember it before the renovation. Additionally, we can recall things about its uses, the parking, the volunteers, the fun events that we held there. This is the community’s park, much like La Colonia on Stevens Avenue…a place for Solana Beach residents to have fun, enjoy the views, celebrate events, and connect with friends and family. Fletcher Cove itself has changed over the years. There once was a wall-to-wall asphalt parking lot for beach users and access to the beach where now a pleasant park exists. The park has a fraction of the previous parking with room only for the lifeguards and emergency access and handicapped parking with a few drop-off spaces. There is another city parking lot down on South Sierra across from the post office that is also used by businesses and customers for shops along Highway 101. Most of the commercial property along Highway 101 and Cedros Avenue is grandfathered to have no required onsite parking unless there are expansion changes to the building that trigger a parking requirement. The Fletcher Cove Community Center, is a newly renovated public building with no increase in size, on public property, on a public street, next to a public beach park with wonderful views of the ocean. The reduction of beach-front parking has caused an impact on surrounding properties that already have insufficient parking for their needs. Planning for additional public parking was discussed some dozen years ago and the need for additional parking structures in the beach area and Cedros Avenue were explored. There was even a private ownership offer to build a parking structure on Cedros next to the Belly-Up that was nixed by the-then City Council who would not waive a newly created front yard setback on the west side of the street; hence, a continued parking problem in both areas. The Coaster/Amtrak station has a huge parking lot that is always full and not always with daytime travel patrons, some for the weekend, some for businesses elsewhere and some for visitors to walk to the beach. That may all change when they charge for parking for all use, except for the Coaster / NCTD customers . Why am I telling you this? Well, the parking problems in those areas of the City has never been adequately addressed by the recent City Councils. Now they even blame the problem on the Community Center which is for the City and community’s residents use, taxpayers by the way. The beach parking lot that shrank to a handful of spaces is for everyone living from near and far to enjoy – if they can find a parking place. This is a parking problem that has not been addressed, except to have added some spaces spread out along one side of Highway 101. That’s a band aid needing a much better, bigger solution. Marion B.

Thank you, Peter Sprague It was over 35 years ago on Christmas Eve that a talented young musician strummed his guitar on the corner of 15th street and Camino Del Mar to the delight of residents and visitors to our community. At the time, outside the corner shop in Stratford Square where he played was the Sugar Plum Bakery, then Carlos & Annie’s and now the Americana. That young man was and is the internationally-renowned guitarist Peter Sprague. It was Peter’s gift to Del Mar and what a wonderful gift it has been for our community every Christmas Eve for the past 35 years. This Christmas Eve 2013 was the best ever as hundreds of residents and visitors gathered in the L’Auberge semi-public park across the street from the Stratford Square to listen to the wonderful music of Peter Sprague and his ensemble. It was of particular joy to me because when I designed and built the L’Auberge I dedicated the prime commercial corner of all Del Mar as a semi-public park and a gathering place for community events. This Christmas Eve the gathering of so many Del Mar residents to listen to Peter’s music was a fulfillment of what I envisioned the semi- public park to be for our community. Thank you Peter for your wonderful gift over the years. Jim Watkins Del Mar Resident

Fletcher Cove Community Center: No evidence of the dreamed up ‘parking crisis’ I am a resident on Pacific Ave., not that many houses away from the Fletcher Cove Community Center. Some of my immediate neighbors are claiming that allowing private events at the Community Center will be an unreasonable burden on their (and my) neighborhood. However, just like my wife and I did, those neighbors intentionally chose to live in an area immediately adjacent to the principal beach for Solana Beach residents and visitors as well as the central downtown area. And all of us also chose to live adjacent to a Community Center that has been there since the 1940s. One of the claims these neighbors are now making is that Solana Beach residents going to private events at the Community Center will use up the parking needed for local businesses. Forget the fact that shippers in the local businesses are highly unlikely to park in the spaces near the Community Center because they aren’t within convenient walking distance to most businesses, most local businesses close hours before any private events are likely to be held at the Community Center. More telling is that the several studies done of parking availability in the area around the Community Center found no evidence of this dreamed up “parking crisis.” The city recently had to find out where the cars went that used to park all day at the Distillery Lot when the lot changed to a four-hour limit. What’s really interesting is that after the new four-hour rule went in there was never more than 50 percent of the Distillery parking spaces that were full. Further, the EIR (environmental impact report) done of the potential use of the Community Center for private use found no parking crisis and another independent study done on the potential private use of the Community Center also found no parking crisis. That study commissioned within the last several months by the City Council, stated that “There are not expected to be adverse impacts to the City’s General and Specific Plans, zoning, land use, housing funding for infrastructure, schools, parks, traffic, parking, open space, business retention and employment, vacant parcels, agriculture, business districts, or areas designated for revitalization.” Finally, if the neighbors think that private use of the Community Center is going to be so onerous (again, I’m closer to the Community Center than many of them and I certainly don’t think that’s case) why aren’t the neighbors not up in arms about all the marathons, all the bicycle races, weekly Concerts in the Cove in the summer, etc? Will the next complaining be about people parking to go swimming or surfing or parking to watch whales or surfers or sunsets? Gary Garber, Solana Beach

Nothing simple about Prop B In their latest flyer, the sponsors of Prop B claim their policy is, “clear, straightforward and uncomplicated.” Apparently they don’t want to muddy the waters by providing voters with actual facts. It’s easy to claim things are simple if one doesn’t bother to include the details that really matter. So just how uncomplicated and straightforward is Prop B? Prop B overrides the city codes on parking, noise and alcohol. And it leaves our City Council powerless to fix any problems that result from Prop B’s policy. Prop B proponents ignore the licensed traffic engineer’s conclusion that adding 75 additional parked cars to the area on two days of every weekend will create impacts on parking. And what about the costly elections that will be required to fix any and all problems that arise from Prop B’s lax policy? Or the legal fees the city will have to spend to defend this inflexible, poorly-written policy? The only thing simple about Prop B is that it removes all common sense safeguards that our City Council enacted to protect the public and nearby businesses from parking and safety problems. Vote “No” on Prop B. Robert Glatts Solana Beach

TPHS volleyball player Reily Buechler ready to bring her outstanding skills to UCLA BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High volleyball player Reily Buechler is having a senior year to remember. The 6’2’’ outside hitter was one of only 100 players nationwide to be named as an “Under Armour First-Team All-America,” which meant she was one of just 24 first team athletes invited to Seattle to play in the Under Armour All-America Volleyball Match and Skills Competition on Dec. 20, 2013. In 2013, Reily was also named the All-San Diego CIF Volleyball Athlete of the Year coming off a season in which her Falcons team won the open division CIF championship, her third championship during her tenure at Torrey Pines. She has committed to play for UCLA in the fall. “Reily is a great ball control outside hitter who has the capabilities to come in and compete for a spot immediately,” said UCLA Coach Michael Sealy in a press release. “She has a high volleyball IQ and a passion to compete. Her court presence can make an immediate impact.” Buechler was also a MaxPreps Preseason All-American this season and was named the Most Valuable Player of the Durango Classic in Las Vegas for the second straight year, as TPHS again won the tournament championship. Now playing with her WAVE Volleyball team through the summer, Reily and her team hope to qualify for the Junior Olympics. Reily has been living and breathing volleyball since she was 9 years old. She tried other sports such as soccer, tennis and basketball (which her father, Jud, played professionally in the NBA for 12 years, winning three championships with the Chicago Bulls) but volleyball was the one that stuck. “I just loved it,” Reily said. Volleyball is a bit of the family sport as her father was also an All-American in volleyball at Arizona and her mom, Lindsey, was a standout setter there and still ranks in the school’s top 10 in assists and digs. Sister Brynn played on Torrey Pines’ JV squad last year. Reily started on the varsity squad as a freshman and of all the Falcon championship runs, this year’s was the best as she was able to stay healthy and play a big part on the team. “This year’s championship was the most memorable for me because I was a senior and I had a leadership role and the team was really good,” Reily said.

JUST IN!!

Reily Buechler (second from right) on Torrey Pines volleyball senior night with her family: sister Brynn, dad Jud and mom Lindsey. Photos/Anna Scipione Right before this year’s CIF tournament, Reily found out she was named a Under Armour All American, an amazing and surprising honor. “It was incredible,” Reily said of the trip to Seattle, where she and her fellow athletes attended team bonding activities and NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship games, including the semi-finals matches. “I got to meet really cool girls,” Reily said, noting five of them were PAC-12 girls she might be competing against in the fall. The always-competitive Reily was frustrated that she was one hit away from making the finals in the skills competition, but she recognized the amazing talent that surrounded her. “They hit the ball pretty freaking hard,” she said. “They were all so good, it was cool to play with the best in the country and to see what it will be like and who I’ll be playing in college.”

While Reily was courted by Stanford and USC for her collegiate career, she ultimately picked UCLA. “UCLA was just more of a fit for me,” Reily said, noting not only was it close to home but the team also includes four WAVE players, two of whom she played with on teams for years. “It was kind of like a natural home for me. It’s really special (to have her WAVE teammates there), I’m lucky that I will be comfortable right away going into it.” As Reily has always played up an age division, most of her teammates that she played with for the last eight years have moved on from WAVE and she is on a new team this year. “We have a really good team chemistry, we just have to work through some kinks,” Reily said of her new team. Reily plays volleyball three times a week and is working out the other four days. She admits it’s a lot of work, playing and practicing so hard but she does occasionally take some time to relax. It doesn’t always feel like work though, because she is so passionate about the game. “I love it, it’s basically my life and what I’ve wanted to do my whole life,” Reily said.

Carmel Valley resident named new Chief of Staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla The physicians at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla recently elected M. Jonathan Worsey, M.D., as the new chief of staff of the 318-bed facility. Worsey took over as head of the 900-member physician team on Jan. 1. During his two-year term, Worsey will serve as medical staff liaison to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla’s administrative staff and Scripps Health’s board of directors. Worsey will play a key role in driving continuous quality improvement in the delivery of health care services to the more than 125,000 patients cared for annually at the hospital. “Dr. Worsey brings to this position strong leadership and sound judgment, and has been a passionate supporter of Scripps La Jolla through the years,” said Gary G. Fybel, the hospital’s chief executive. “He will continue to be a central figure in the hospital’s future growth and pursuit of world-class status.” As chief of staff, Worsey plans to continue working on the numerous patient care enhancement and physician communication initiatives that were started by outgoing Chief of Staff Shawn Evans, M.D., during his two-year tenure. He will also provide medical staff input into the major expansion and renovation projects under way on the hospital’s campus, including the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, which is scheduled to open for patient care in 2015. “It is a great honor to be chosen to lead the world class medical staff that we have here at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and to follow in the footsteps of

M. Jonathan Worsey, M.D. the Dr. Evans and the other distinguished chiefs of staff that preceded him,” said Worsey. “The changes and challenges facing health care providers, both physicians and hospitals, are perhaps greater now than at any time in a generation. I am looking forward to representing the medical staff in their continued collaboration with Scripps leadership to adapt to and thrive in this new environment so we can continue to provide the best medical care to our patients.” Worsey has been a member of the medical staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla since 1999 and has held numerous medical staff leadership positions, including chief of surgery. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Cambridge and his medical degree from St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, England. He served his internship specializing in surgery at St. Thomas Hospital, completed a surgical residency at the University

Solana Beach girl honored by float during Rose Parade BY KRISTINA HOUCK India Phillips died two years ago, but her kidneys helped another person live. The Solana Beach girl was honored for her organ donation during the 2014 Rose Parade in Pasadena. “It is quite an honor,” said India’s mother, Kim Phillips, prior to the New Year’s Day event. India was a happy and seemingly healthy 4-yearold, but fever and leg pain on Halloween 2011 prompted a visit to Rady Children’s Hospital. On the way to an MRI, her heart stopped. She was revived, but died 36 hours later from Group A Strep. Because of the damage from the bacterial infection, most of India’s organs went to research. But her kidneys went to a woman in San Diego. “Tragedies happen,” said Phillips, who lives in Solana Beach with her husband, Jeff, and their 8-yearold daughter Trinity. “If you don’t need your organs, why wouldn’t you give them away?” The Donate Life Rose Parade float has served as a memorial to organ and tissue donors and a platform for donor families, living donors and transplant recipients since 2004. This year’s float remembered 81 donors, including India, who represented San Diego. India’s parents and sister decorated her part of the float along with dozens of other families on Dec. 21. Using organic materials, such as spices, seeds and crushed flowers, India’s loved ones created a “floragraph” portrait of her beautiful blonde-haired, blueeyed face. A dozen living donors

The Donate Life Rose Parade float honored 81 organ donors, including India Phillips of Solana Beach. Courtesy photos walked alongside the float, which seated 30 transplant recipients. “I’m looking at her little face decorating it. When I got to her eyes, it was the hardest thing in the world,” said Phillips through tears. “It was very emotional, but it was comforting to be around people who suffered through a tragedy or received an organ because of another tragedy.” According to Donate Life, 18 people die each day in the United States waiting for an organ transplant. Last year, 76 San Diegans died waiting because there weren’t enough donors. To honor India and raise awareness of organ do-

Through the India Phillips Foundation, her family, friends and supporters have donated gifts and hosted birthday parties for children at a local homeless shelter, as well as provided wheelchairs to children and adults in the U.S. and abroad. A running group called Team India runs in her honor and raises funds for the foundation. The group donates half of its funds to Donate Life. “You just hope that nobody forgets your child,” Phillips said. “Donate Life is such a gift because it saves lives. Donate Life is incredible — it’s incredible what they can do.” For more information about the India Phillips Foundation, visit indiaphillips.com.

Local dance icon to celebrate birthday with a big show BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For 40 years, from the groundbreaking Three’s Company to the multi-dimensional San Diego Dance Theater, Jean Isaacs has been a major force on the local dance scene. Now the award-winning choreographer is celebrating her 70th birthday with a dance extravaganza on the UCSD campus where she taught for 25 years. “There the Dance Is,” coming to the Mandell Weiss Theatre Jan. 17-19, offers a mix of stylish and impish choreography, live choral and cabaret music, and features students and colleagues from Isaac’s long and productive life in dance. Onstage, along with eight company members from SDDT, whose artistic director Isaacs has been since 1997, will be six UCSD dance department alumni. Besides Isaacs’ own choreography, the program will include a new piece by Monica Bill Barnes, a New Yorkbased performer/choreographer, who studied dance with Isaacs two decades ago while working toward her B.A. in Theater and Philosophy. Barnes, whose work celebrates the humor and theatricality of everyday life, expanded her fan base last year when she toured with NPR’s Ira Glass in “Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host.” She calls San Diego her

San Diego Dance Theater artistic director Jean Isaacs, rehearsing with her assistant Blythe Barton in 2012. (Photo/Kira Corser) “second home, artistically,” and maintains a close relationship with Isaacs, contributing pieces to Isaacs’ annual “Trolley Dances” and teaching summer classes at SDDT. Her new piece, which will kick off the show, is set to a trio of songs sung by Judy Garland. Following Barnes will be something completely different: an Isaacs piece set to the soaring

sounds of “O Magnum Mysterium,” sung by the 24-voice choral ensemble SACRA PROFANA. The second part of the program will be a selection of Isaacs’ “Cabaret Dances,” reimagining a pre-WW II cabaret in Berlin. One of the highlights will be a solo “on pointe” by Dance Theater‘s Trystan Loucado, just back from an 18-month tour with

Jean Isaacs, in 1974. (Photo/Jim Coit) Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the all-male company famous for its parodies of classical ballet. Another notable solo will be Isaac’s “White Dress,” originally created for Terry Wilson, now professor of dance at City College, who re-set the piece on Isaac’s daughter, Liv Isaacs-Nollet. “It’s exciting to pass the dance on to the next generation,” Isaacs said. The cabaret will be emceed by recently-retired UCSD theater professor Jim Winker, and the

music will be all Kurt Weill, including such favorites as the “Whiskey Bar” song from the 1930 Brecht/Weill opera, “Mahagonny,” and “September Song,” from the 1938 Broadway musical, “Knickerbocker Holiday.” Musical accompaniment will be provided by pianist Steve Baker — dean of arts at Grossmont College and SDDT’s music director, who also happens to be Isaac’s husband — and local jazz singer Rachel Drexler. The show is a happy return to the UCSD campus for Isaacs, who retired from the dance department in 2007, but is still going strong at the helm of SDDT. “I’m resurrecting some of my old pieces and creating new ones,” Isaacs said. “I feel privileged to be able to be able to sustain the energy to do it this long.”

If you go: What: “There the Dance Is,” from Jean Isaacs San Diego Dance Theater When: 8 p.m. Jan. 17-18; 2 p.m. Jan. 19 Where: Mandell Weiss Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD Campus Tickets: $15-$40 Box Office: (619) 225-1803 On the Web: sandiegodance theater.org

Young Del Mar musician to play at Museum of Contemporary Art

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Kayla Iwane turned to music when she and her family had to flee Japan to escape the effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Now a part-time Del Mar resident and a senior at Idyllwild Arts Academy, the 18-year-old will perform alongside her classmates Feb. 2 at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. “Music very much helped me,” said Kayla, who has played the violin for 13 years. “Every time I feel lost, music is the only thing that keeps me going.” Born in Japan, Kayla was attending Interlochen Arts Academy boarding high school in Michigan when the Fukushima facility started releasing radioactive material in March 2011. To be closer to her family, she returned to Japan and enrolled in an arts school in her hometown of Wakayama. Less than 400 miles away from the plant, the city wasn’t devastated from the nuclear accident. Nevertheless, Kayla’s mother, Cathy Iwane, found high levels of contamination in fish and trace elements of contamination in milk. Using a Geiger counter, a tool that measures ionizing radiation in the atmosphere, she tested her family’s food for a year before she and her husband decided it was time to relocate their family. “It was affecting all the food, so

Violinist Kayla Iwane’s family left Japan to escape the effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Courtesy photos we had to leave,” Kayla said. “It’s really sad because I lived in Japan for 16 years. All my friends are there. I came here without knowing anybody in San Diego. It was hard in the beginning.” Kayla’s mother and 14-year-old sister, Alyssa, live in Del Mar. An activist for safety, Cathy Iwane fought the effort to restart the San Onofre nuclear power plant. Kayla’s father still lives part-time in Japan, where his company is based. Kayla is one of 300 students enrolled at the boarding arts high school in Idyllwild. “I love performing because of the adrenaline,” said Kayla, who enrolled as a junior at the academy in September 2012. She plans to attend a music conservatory after high school.

“I really like that feeling and reacting to the audience. I just love it. It’s my favorite thing to do.” Featuring Kayla and her peers, the Idyllwild Arts Academy Orchestra is set to perform a selection of concert pieces, including “Romeo and Juliet” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and “Prelude and Scherzo” by Dmitri Shostakovich during a free concert on Feb. 2. The event will take place from 2-4 p.m. in the Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. “It’s my first time performing in San Diego,” Kayla said. “I’m very excited! It will be fun.” For more information, call 951659-2171 Ext. 2343 or visit www. idyllwildarts.org.

Chandler’s Falafel Crab Cake

Chandler’s outdoor patio provides an ocean view.

BY KELLEY CARLSON handler’s is a standout in south Carlsbad. First, it is the only restaurant in that part of the city that faces the Coast Highway (aka Carlsbad Boulevard). As part of the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort & Spa, it offers guests an opportunity to dine on coastal regional cuisine and imbibe specialty cocktails, such as the Espresso-tini, while watching pictureworthy ocean sunsets. Second, the establishment is fairly spacious with 200 seats among the Craftsman-style dining room and outdoor patios. Walk-ins can usually be accommodated, but reservations are still recommended, especially on weekends, according to Executive Chef Pascal Vignau. People enjoy gathering around the outside fire pit and fireplace, and many are lured by local artists playing lively music from 5 to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Another unique aspect of Chandler’s is its menu. The French-born Vignau (former owner/chef of Savory in Encinitas and executive chef at Four Seasons Resort Aviara) specializes in simple “comfort” foods that are contemporary. Dishes change seasonally, based on the available ingredients. Daily breakfast items range from egg dishes and cereals to breads and smoothies, while lunch focuses on light fare such as soups, salads, flatbreads and sandwiches. Among the midday standouts are the Chicken Noodle Soup, a blend of broth, chicken and pasta; the Baby Kale Salad with strawberries, julienne of green apple, avocado, cacao nibs and a sunny-side up egg, dressed with red wine vinaigrette; the moist, gluten-free Falafel Crab Cake in a lemon caper aioli; and the sauce-free White

The dining room and bar at Chandler’s features a contemporary design mixed with wooden beams in the Craftman’s style. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON Flatbread with toppings of artichokes, goat cheese, spinach, mozzarella, parmesan flakes and garlic. For dinner, there’s the soft and buttery Porcini-Dusted Diver Scallops with heirloom potatoes, artichoke hearts and Bloomsdale spinach, covered with smoked almonds and a peppercorn beurre blanc; the tender CrabCrusted Sea Bass on a bed of spinach and mushrooms in buerre blanc; and the AirDried 12-oz. Rib-Eye Steak with parmesan truffle fries and a peppercorn sauce. Dessert options include the Crunchy Salted Caramel Chocolate Bar consisting of layers of chocolate mousse, salted caramel chocolate ganache and a crispy bottom; and the Creme Brulee of the Week in flavors such as coffee, amaretto, ginger and vanilla.

Chandler’s aims to make weekends special with Saturday afternoon tea and Sunday brunch. Tea time is observed 1-3 p.m. Saturdays, as patrons sip on classic varieties and exotic blends, ranging from Earl Grey to Green Mango Peach. To accompany the hot drinks, there are buttery scones with Sultana raisins that are baked as needed and served warm with Vignau’s lemon curd and rose petal jam, along with bite-sized desserts. Reservations are required. Among the specialties of the plated Sunday brunch (11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) are the signature Bloody Marys (including the BLT), Duck Confit Hash, Fresh Daily Quiche, 92011 CA Poached Eggs and the Monte Cristo. ◆

Author Kurt Koontz to speak at Del Mar Library Kurt Koontz, author of A Million Steps, will be speaking and signing at the Del Mar and Bonita-Sunnyside branches of San Diego County Library. The author visits will take place on Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. at the Del Mar Branch (1309 Camino Del Mar; 858-755-1666) and at 2 p.m. at the Bonita-Sunnyside Branch (4375 Bonita Rd.; 619-475-4642). Books will be available for purchase. A Million Steps recounts Koontz’s journey across the 500-mile El Camino de Santiago, a Spanish pilgrimage route dating to medieval times. Those million steps inspired Koontz to write about his life-changing adventure when he arrived home. After his remarks, Koontz will answer questions from the audience. “Throughout my life, I made many attempts to understand the concept of living in the now,” says Koontz. “Walking the Camino de Santiago provided the key to this puzzle in a most innocent manner. Each day on the trail is a mystery loaded with complete uncertainties. Nothing is planned and each corner is filled with intrigue.” Koontz grew up in Idaho and was a successful sales executive all over the world. After an early retirement, he volunteered in his community and traveled. It was not until El Camino de Santiago that he began to write about his travels, which also navigates through his personal history of addiction, recovery, and love. Koontz now lives and writes in Boise, Idaho. For more information about Kurt Koontz, please visit www.kurtkoontz.com.

Salk Institute links food and science at inaugural Wellness Event

Scientists have long recognized the vital role that proper nutrition plays in fueling the body’s many systems. Chefs, likewise, know that good food supports good health. Now, the Salk Institute is exploring the overlap between the art of cooking and the science of nutrition at an inaugural wellness event, The Art & Science of Cuisine. The Art & Science of Cuisine will take place at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22. Tickets are $100. Visit salk.edu/cuisine. Designed to inform and to inspire, The Art & Science of Cuisine will pair the skills of some of San Diego’s most innovative chefs with the latest research from some of Salk’s top scientists. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a variety of healthfully prepared foods at tasting stations while learning how to optimize nutrition in their home-cooked meals. And they’ll be able to interact with Salk researchers, hear about the most recent discoveries and discuss how dietary changes may stave off illness and prolong vibrancy. The Salk scientists who will be sharing their outlook on the role of diet on health and disease risk include Geoffrey M. Wahl and Ronald M. Evans, both from the Salk’s Gene Expression Laboratory, and Reuben Shaw of the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory. Much of their work focuses on nutrition, hormones, metabolism, cancer and diabetes.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Locally-based Moms Making Six Figures goes international It started as a local business. Heidi Bartolotta quit her job and founded Moms Making Six Figures with two other women in December 2009 to allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. Four years later, the San Diego-based company now helps moms work from home across the United States and overseas. “It’s amazing what’s happened in that amount of time,” Bartolotta said. “I knew there were other women like me, but I didn’t realize how many.” Bartolotta worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative for 12 years. After having two daughters, she no longer wanted to work late and travel. She wanted to be home. “Women are looking for different avenues,” said Bartolotta, whose daughters are now 7 and 10 years old. “There are so many women that would like the flexibility to have their schedule be their own schedule.” Moms Making Six Figures represents a U.S.-based manufacturer. The marketing company has grown to more than 100 team members, about a third working full time. Team members come from different backgrounds, edu-

cation levels, work experience and locations, Bartolotta said. Although the company launched in San Diego, there are now team members across the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom and Australia. “We’re all really very much the same, no matter which country we’re in,” Bartolotta said. “We all have the same desires to make our family our priority. A mom is a mom, no matter which country we’re in.” Looking to expand her team at home and abroad, Bartolotta encourages interested women to contact her by filling out a form on the company’s website at www.momsmakingsixfigures.com/contact. “You just have to be willing to learn something different because it’s different,” Bartolotta said. “Take a leap of faith.” For more information, call 858-837-1505 or visit momsmakingsixfigures.com.

Documentary on dyslexia to be screened at Cathedral Catholic High School Jan. 15 •Director to attend the event to answer questions Cathedral Catholic High School will host a screening of “Dislecksia: The Movie” on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. The NewBridge School and the San Diego branch of the International Dyslexia Association are sponsoring the special showing of the film. Director Harvey Hubbell will be in attendance at the event for a question and answer session following the movie. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to discuss his interviews and interactions with some very famous dyslexic profes-

sionals and some renowned researchers in the fields of dyslexia/reading disorders, learning and brain development,” said Steven Mayo, the director of the NewBridge School and a member of the executive board of directors of the San Diego branch of the International Dyslexia Association. “Dislecksia” seeks to raise awareness for individuals of all ages who are unnecessarily struggling to thrive and be understood, and to discuss dyslexia as a learning difference, not a learning disability. The film weaves together class-

room footage, interviews with neuroscientists and educators, as well as business leaders and high profile celebrities with dyslexia who are advocates of Hubbell’s beliefs. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance at dislecksiathemovie.bpt.me Cathedral Catholic High School is located at 5555 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130.

Citizens of Solana Beach:

WHAT COUNCIL SAYS versus WHAT IT KNOWS ABOUT PROP B The City Council SAYS: Prop B ties the Council's hands and removes their authority to ﬁx the problems that will arise from use of our Community Center without another expensive election. BUT the City Council KNOWS: Prop B only prevents them from continuing to unfairly restrict use of the Community Center. Under Prop B, the Council still has the powers it always had to regulate use of the Community Center.

The City Council SAYS: Prop B eliminates reasonable regulations for use of the Community Center.

BUT the City Council KNOWS: Everyone agrees reasonable regulation is appropriate. Prop B contains those

reasonable regulations, based on City ordinances and existing law. But the Council’s rental policies are so extreme and unreasonable that there has been only one event scheduled in the four months they have been in eﬀect.

The City Council SAYS: The Initiative sponsors demanded the Special Election.

BUT the City Council KNOWS: That what Prop B asked the City Council to do was to adopt the Initiative, not to

hold a Special Election. The City Council, which had sole control over the ﬁnal decision, unnecessarily spent $200,000 of YOUR tax dollars for a special election instead of making a common sense decision to adopt the Initiative.

The City Council SAYS: We’re just trying to balance the interests of neighbors who live near the Community Center with those of the other residents elsewhere in the City.

BUT the City Council KNOWS: The Council is speciﬁcally favoring a few politically-connected neighbors who like having the Community Center as an extension of their private property, at the expense of every other resident in our City.

The City Council SAYS: The official City report did not fully analyze the impacts of Prop B. BUT the City Council KNOWS: The official City report on impacts of Prop B was commissioned by the City Council itself. That report found no negative impacts from Prop B. These findings were inconsistent with claims made by politically-connected neighbors who don’t want resident use of the Community Center. The City Council refused to even discuss the findings of their own report before voting to spend $200,000 of YOUR tax dollars on a Special Election!

Athenaeum hosts reception for two new exhibits Matthew Hebert creates works that deal with technology and its effects on the environment and the human sense of place. His latest exhibition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cover to Cover,â&#x20AC;? will be shown Jan. 11-Feb. 15 in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery and the North Reading Room at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, 1008 Wall St, La Jolla. An opening reception will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10. Hebertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awardwinning work has been shown internationally. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cover to Coverâ&#x20AC;? (on loan from the collection), he presents a new body of work that draws inspiration from artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; books in the Athenaeumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection. Developed during a period of study at the Athenaeum, Hebert found sources for sculptural interventions within the library. These interventions incorporate lighting, motion, and sound in an effort to represent and/or reinterpret the original materials. In addition to these site-specific interactions with the Athenaeum, Hebert will exhibit six

Jeanne Dunn works on an installation piece for her Athenaeum show. Courtesy photos opaque displays. These are sculptural objects that house mechanical dioramas depicting works of postminimalist art. These pieces will serve as an introduction to Hebertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and set the stage for visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; subsequent experience within the Athenaeum. Hebert received his B.A.

in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley; and his MFA at California College of the Arts. He has taught at several schools including the University of Wisconsin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Madison, CalArts and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is an Associate Professor of Furniture at San Diego State

University. Also showing Jan. 11â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Feb. 15 and sharing the opening reception is Jeanne Dunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Walk,â&#x20AC;? in the Rotunda Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Walkâ&#x20AC;? is a painterly examination of the simultaneous fear-and-thrill of going into the wild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My canvases and drawings explore the

ambivalent response we have to untamed nature,â&#x20AC;? Dunn writes in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Setting out in pursuit of a perfect dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey, we discover that tree limbs can truly be limbs, especially when they reach out to snare, caress, irritate or slap. Amidst the verdant beauty at hand, there is also foreboding, fear, alarm and distrust of the senses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The visual drama of up-close trees and thick underbrush tell contradictory stories of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s danger and its primordial pull, paired with the promise of solace and wisdom.â&#x20AC;? Dunn received her B.S. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and her M.A. from San Diego State

University. She recently completed 15 years of teaching Life Drawing and Painting in the School of Art and Design at SDSU.

‘To be a Jew’ in modern society topic of next Rohr Jewish Learning Institute course in RSF The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present “To Be a Jew in the Free World: Jewish Identity Through the Lens of Modern History,” the institute’s new six-course Winter 2014 session. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe will conduct the classes at 7 p.m. Mondays starting Feb. 3 at Morgan Run Resort. “A recent Pew study exposed that 22 percent of Jews identify as ‘Jews with no religion,’ and for many, this is a clear indication that the landscape of Jewish identity is changing rapidly,” said Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. “Our objective with this course is to initiate a discussion about Jewish identity, why it is still relevant, and what we can do to make it something our children and grandchildren will cherish for generations to come.” In “To Be a Jew in the Free World,” participants will confront questions of allegiance and issues in which Judaism and contemporary society appear to be in conflict. Looking into the past, the course explores a series of fascinating case studies, such as arguments made in the 1650s to persuade Oliver Cromwell to readmit Jews to England and how Ulysses S. Grant’s 1862 expulsion of the Jews became a defining issue in his presidential election. “To Be a Jew in the Free World” is unique in that it will likely represent the first nationwide effort to bring the Jewish community together to address these important issues since the findings of the Pew report were released in October. “The subject of identity is close to the hearts of many in our Jewish community, yet it’s a subject that is rarely discussed nowadays.” said Rabbi Levi Raskin, the local JLI instructor in RSF. “The course provides a rare opportunity to address this issue that will benefit the wider community of RSF, and we invite everyone to attend.” Like all JLI programs, “To Be a Jew in the Free World“ is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit jewishrsf.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in RSF, CA in conjunction with the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.

Del Mar Rector’s paintings grace national publication Paige Blair, the rector of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, is known around the church campus for her paintings (technically called “writings”) of religious icons. But now, her icons — a precise but meditative method of portraying religious images — are getting a much wider audience. During 2014, Blair’s icons will be featured on all four covers of Forward Day by Day, a quarterly publication of daily meditations, which has been published by the Episcopal Church since 1935 (the first cover is pictured at right). Blair is also enthusiastic about helping others pursue this unique and creative form of prayer and has taught many icon workshops in Maine and Florida. For the past two summers, Blair has led a week-long workshop on iconography at St. Peter”s for anyone who is interested, and plans to hold another workshop in August 2014. For more information about St. Peter’s, see www.stpetersdelmar.net.

Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary selects beneficiaries for Turf Bocce Tournament The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club has selected two San Diego organizations to be major beneficiaries of its Turf Bocce Tournament on March 23: Just In Time for Foster Youth and Reality Changers. Both organizations make major differences for the better in the lives of San Diego youths in need of help to reach their potential.

Without continuing family support, these young adults are at risk of becoming homeless, unemployed and under-educated, or in prison. JIT mobilizes resources to identify and fill gaps that prevent motivated youths from reaching their goals of self-sufficient adulthood. JIT also fills the most important gap of all: connections to caring adults who become a lifelong support system for these young adults. Reality Changers provides high school students

Ricochet and her handlers get ready for another ride

Surf Dog Ricochet celebrated New Year’s Eve with a special ocean therapy tandem surf session for members of the military and people/kids with disabilities at Del Mar Dog Beach. Ricochet is the only dog in the world that surfs as an assistive aid to those with physical, emotional and psychological disabilities. Ricochet surfed with retired Staff Sergeant Randall Dexter who served two tours in Iraq and now suffers with PTSD. “Surfing with Ricochet definitely helps with my symptoms. She has a way of making me feel completely at ease. It’s not just surfing with a dog, it’s more of a spiritual connection,” said Dexter. Ricochet and Randy have also created the PTSD Battle Buddy Initiative to help other active duty service members and veterans with PTSD http://bit.ly/1e3Roha. Also on board was Gina, the 9-year-old daughter of Bradley Gill, a marine who is home from Afghanistan. Gina has autism and first met Ricochet at a surfing event where she found the courage to stand up on the board while riding with Ricochet. After that session, Gill left a comment on Ricochet’s Facebook page all the way from Afghanistan, “Ricochet, I’m Gina’s Dad, thank you very much for surfing with her again. She loves it! I only wish I could have been there to see it in person.” Gill’s wish finally came true! Ricochet also surfed with many other people with disabilities.

Sow some wild ones for National Oatmeal Month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN In January more oatmeal is consumed than any other time of year (and not just by horses and livestock), honoring the cereal with its monthly food holiday. Not just a modern quick-fix breakfast, oats have been unclogging arteries of the ancient Greeks and Chinese for thousands of years. Today oatmeal accounts for 10 percent of all breakfasts across the land, and is slipping into savory dishes and desserts. Here’s a primer to get the best out of this low gluten, blockbuster grain. Feel Your Oats Not all oats are created equal. After raw oats are harvested, different processes produce assorted products. Here’s the grain line-up: Hearty, whole oat groats are minimally processed, removing the hulls, while preserving the nutrient-rich bran and germ. Although these have the longest cooking time, they are

your friends with the most benefits, including the highest fiber content. Irish oatmeal or steel cut oats are from groats that have been thinly sliced with steel blades creating a chewy, dense textured cereal that cooks quicker than whole oats. Scottish oatmeal is made from groats that have been stone ground to create bits and pieces making a creamy, softer porridge. Regular old-fashioned rolled oats are created by steaming the grain then rolling into flakes. This process increases the surface area for quicker cooking. Instant rolled oats are even thinner than old-fashioned, and steamed for a longer period, slashing cooking time. Oat bran is derived from the outer layer of the grain beneath the hull, for a cholesterol-busting oomph. Oat flour is made by grinding rolled oats into a fine powder used as a soup thickener or flour substitute for baking. The Perks of Porridge Oatmeal and oats are soluble-fiber powerhouses packed with folate and protein, iron, bone boosting calcium and phosphorus, manganese and magnesium to stabilize insulin and glucose levels, blood pressure and jumpy nerves, and Vitamin E, selenium and zinc providing immune boosting antioxidants. The venerable Mayo Clinic ranks oatmeal

amongst the top five foods to lower LDL (bad cholesterol). The grain has also been credited with reducing breast cancer risk, along with Type 2 Diabetes, and as an added boon prevent weight gain. Finally, although oats contain a small amount of gluten, studies have shown them to be well tolerated by those with gluten sensitivities. A Germ of an Idea Expand your oatmeal horizons with an explosion of flavors in your breakfast bowl. Try a tropical blend with coconut milk (or a splash of coconut rum), mango, pineapple and toasted macadamias. Do a Canadian riff with wild blueberries, cranberries and maple syrup. Or for savory palates crumble crispy turkey bacon and a sprinkling of smoky salt. Whip up a strawberry, banana and oatmeal smoothie to wash it down nicely. Some savory dishes include a sweet potato casserole with a crumbled oats, pecans and brown sugar topping, and oatmeal scallion pancakes with ginger soy sauce. Add toasted oats to burgers and meatloaves as a binding agent. For sweet tooths use rolled oats or oat flour in quick breads, muffins, pancakes, apricot bars and almond biscotti. Or try my family’s favorite oatmeal date cookies for a healthy hidden dose of the super grain.

Wholesome Date and Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies • Cookie ingredients 3 cups rolled oats 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup almond milk 4 drops almond extract 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice • Filling Ingredients 1 pound dates Juice from half a lemon or orange Method: Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add the melted butter, oil, milk, extract and juice to form a dough. Flour a board. Roll dough into a 1/4-inch thick layer. Cut cookie shapes with the rim of a juice glass dipped in flour. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake cookies until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool. To prepare the filling combine dates, one cup of water and juice of your choice in a small saucepan. Cook on low and stir until melted and smooth. Spread the filling on one cookie and top with another making a sandwich. For additional sleep-aid recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Commentary/Opinion

Rant with Randi: Behaving Badly BY RANDI CRAWFORD I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. My family went to Colorado, where I’ve spent Christmas for as long as I can remember. There’s nothing like the fresh mountain air, skiing all day with a frozen face, drinking hot cocoa in the lodge and waking up to a white Christmas. And I can’t leave out singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve at the Prince of Peace Church, where my husband and I were married 17 years ago. But this year, one conversation kept creeping up on a daily basis: “Do you have to be so rude to people in order to amass an such an incredible amount of wealth, or is it acquired once you become wealthy because of the way other people treat you?” It felt like everywhere we went this year, people were behaving badly (the ski lodge, on lift lines, renting ski equipment, in stores, or in restaurants). Example: I was in a retail store in Aspen buying something small for the lady who watches our dogs, and mid-purchase, a woman (dripping in perfume, fur and her entourage) came up, threw down a $20 bill on the counter and told the sales clerk to give her change immediately. It was reprehensible of her to think that this sales clerk would drop what he was doing for me and give her change at that exact moment, but it made me wonder what makes her think that people will drop whatever they are doing to help her. In other words, was she always this rude or did she become this way because people have treated her differently knowing that she can be a huge customer and can keep the economy booming with all her wealth? This type of behavior happened everywhere on this trip. Sometimes it affected me directly, and sometimes I just people watched and sat in awe. By my last day in Aspen, I had encountered one too many of these gals, and decided that I was done. My family was at the Aspen airport waiting for our flight, along with a lot of other people all crammed into a tiny airport. At one point, I decided to stand up and move around before we boarded, and I started a conversation with a very nice young lady. After 15 minutes, my family all got up to join me. I was enjoying the moment, waiting to board, when a guy came up from behind me and very rudely said, “Are you

ONLY $170 SPRING SOCCER for 8 week session League Preseason Clinics included

ever going to move?” What? And it wasn’t even the rudeness of the statement, but the way he said it. It took me a moment to realize that he was talking to me. So this time I turned around, I looked him in the eye and told him to stop being so rude. He then proceeded to argue with me and tell me that I was being ridiculous. And no, I didn’t let it go. I told this guy to get a clue and stop being a jerk. And yes, my entire family wanted to disown me. But I had put up with this self-centered behavior for a week, and sometimes, enough is enough. I’m not one for causing a scene, but people need to realize that it’s not all about them all of the time. Once we were on the plane, my family members all agreed that the guy was a total jerk and could have said something much nicer if he wanted me to move. But, they also said that I shouldn’t have said anything for everyone in the airport to hear. Sorry guys, but that’s just not who I am. Here’s the deal -- if you don’t want a scene, don’t be a jerk. For the record, I believe that you do need to have the “me” attitude in order to become successful, but that should never mean being rude to anyone – ever.

La Jolla Music Society presents Patti LuPone Jan. 31 at Balboa Theatre La Jolla Music Society continues the new Cabaret Series with Patti LuPone at the Balboa Theatre on Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. Legendary actress and singer Patti LuPone “generates more raw excitement than any other performer on the Broadway and cabaret axis” (The New York Times). In her new, critically-acclaimed concert Far Away Places, the two-time Tony Award winner (Gypsy, Evita) shares her penchant for wanderlust by taking us on a musical journey with thrilling renditions of songs by an eclectic list of songwriters which include Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Willie Nelson, Kurt Weill and Edith Piaf. Tickets are $27-$87 and are available through the La Jolla Music Society ticket office, (858) 459-3728 or online at www.LJMS.org. A founding member of John Houseman’s The Acting Company, LuPone starred on Broadway and on tour in productions including The Three Sisters, The School for Scandal and Edward II, and she earned Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her work in the musical The Robber Bridegroom. After making her film debut in 1978’s The King of the Gypsies, LuPone rose to international stardom portraying the title role in the smash Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Evita, a role which earned her both Tony and Drama Desk honors in 1980. She played the role of Fantine in the original production of Les Miserables, a per-

formance which won an Olivier Award, the first ever given to an American actress. After winning her second Drama Desk Award in 1988 for her work in Anything Goes, LuPone turned to television, starring for four seasons in the ABC drama Life Goes On. Her onewoman show Patti LuPone on Broadway earned an Outer Critics Circle Award in 1996; the album Matters of the Heart followed in 1999.

The event’s panelists will discuss recent mergers and acquisitions and significant real estate transactions that have occurred as well as forecast activity for the new year.

continued from page B8 purpose. Pegasus Rising does not charge for its services and it runs entirely on donations. “Every dollar we raise goes to the herd,” Adler said. “We are a grass roots, mom and pop organization and we survive solely on donations and support from the local community.” Pegasus Rising has expanded on its weekly offerings of equine-assisted experiential health therapy programs. Pegasus Rising holds group sessions with the Navy’s OASIS group (Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support) for returning and active duty service members diagnosed with combat related PTSD; Veterans Village of San Diego; San Marcos Veterans Center; and the Interfaith Community Services’ Veterans Assistance of San Diego. In addition to its group programs, Pegasus Rising also provides couples and family-based sessions for individuals who are readjusting to civilian life. Adler says the partnerships work because horses are hyper-sensitive animals, very sensitive to smells, sounds and movement and, in many ways, combat vet-

erans are similar as they have been in prey-predator mode in their deployments and are also hyper-sensitive. The dominant veterans tend to be drawn to the more dominant horses, the reclusive veterans to a quieter horse — there’s an emphatic connection between the two that’s like a mirroring, according to Adler. “The horses connect with combat veterans naturally, it’s just a beautiful thing,” Adler said. Through walking the horses, haltering them and exercises such as taking them through obstacle courses, Adler said the veterans are able to connect and bond, gaining the self-confidence t o interact with others. Tickets for the event must be purchased in advance. To register online, pay at http://pegasusrising. org/onlinedonation_1.php and fill out the form at PegasusRising.org/contactus/ and reference WINE. Registrations can also be mailed with a check made payable to Pegasus Rising Project to P.O. Box 8562, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.
