Torrey Pines’ Scott Chodorow, ‘Coach C,’ passed away Nov. 1 after a battle with lymphoma.
Torrey Pines campus grieves for inspirational teacher ‘Coach C’ BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School is mourning the loss of one of its beloved teachers, Scott Chodorow, who passed away Nov. 1 after battling lymphoma for more than a year. Known simply as “Coach C,” he was described by many as “the heart of Torrey Pines.” Chodorow had the opportunity to make an impact on many lives as a teacher, the school’s ASB adviser and the cheer coach for 10 years. “Through his work in the classroom, on the field and at countless dances and events, Scott touched thou-
sands of lives and helped make Torrey Pines the incredible school it is,” read a statement from the high school. “Scott’s legacy will live on through his family, the lives he has changed and the culture of spirit, respect and caring he has created at TPHS.” A memorial will be held for Chodorow at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16, at the high school. Chodorow held an annual cheer camp during the summers, so his influence reached even further, to young Torrey Pines Pop See TEACHER, page 6

Height of residential element reduced at Pacific Highlands Ranch Village project BY KAREN BILLING Recently, Coast Income Properties sold the 8.5-acre residential housing parcel in the Pacific Highlands Ranch Village for $17.5 million. The residential housing portion of the site will include 331 total units, 252 to be priced at market rate and 79 of them to be affordable housArtist’s rendering of the proposed apartments. ing. Tara Lake of Latitude 33, presented the changes to the housing element at the Oct. 23 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting, as the company is seeking a substantial conformance review from the city for the minor modifications to the plan. Lake said refinements include reducing 88 percent of the residential building heights to four stories. To do so, they reduced the number of bedrooms in the development — 50 percent are now one-bedroom units and only 4 percent have three bedrooms. See VILLAGE, page 6
SB’s water district agreements aim to protect water rights, save money BY JOE TASH Two agreements approved Wednesday, Oct. 29, by the Santa Fe Irrigation District are expected to clarify the district’s storage rights for water in Lake Hodges, as well as save money by partnering with neighboring water districts on maintenance projects. Both agreements were approved on 3-0 votes by the water district’s board of
directors. The first agreement was among the city of San Diego, the San Dieguito Water District and Santa Fe. The agreement amends a deal struck in the 1920s that gave the two water districts rights to some of the water in Lake Hodges. Under the amendment approved Oct. 29 by the board — which had
previously been approved by the two other agencies — Santa Fe and San Dieguito can collectively store up to 5,000 acre-feet of water in Lake Hodges. The two districts also split with San Diego the rights to water that flows into the reservoir from rainfall. An acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons, or enough
Armenian Church wins unanimous approval for El Camino Real site BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Planning Commission unanimously approved St. John Garabed Church, an Armenian church planned for El Camino Real. Plans have been in the works for the past six years for the church to move from its overcrowded North Park facility to North County, where a large population of the congregation lives. The last step in a long process will be approval from the state Coastal Commission. For Commissioner Anthony Wagner, the most influential input they received was in the form of letters written to the commission from two young parishioners: Ani Kradjian, 9, and Mari Kradjian, 5, from Carmel Valley. In green marker, Mari wrote, “Please vote for our church because we are running out of room.� “That’s what your church is all about, the foundation of a young person and how that church can have a positive and significant impact on their

vices department, because the board has 16 voting members, the vote lacked a majority and counts as a “no vote.� Over the years, the project has faced challenges because of its closeness to protected lands in the city’s Multiple Species Conservation Program as well as issues of access on a busy stretch of El Camino Real. Marcela Escobar Eck, a principal with Atlantis Group (land use consulting), which represents the church, said all of the wildlife agencies have signed off on the project, as the church has have stayed out of the sensitive lands. But the access remained difficult — the neighboring Harvest Evangelical Formosan Church did not grant access through its property. The site is 13.4 acres, and the church buildings will be built on 4.2 acres on the already-disturbed mesa top, preserving the site’s most sensitive 9.18 acres. The plans include a 350-seat church and sanctuary built See CHURCH, page 22

DM duo’s award will encourage science to solve real-world problems • Entrepreneurial couple hope to provide the tools for others to create innovative solutions, change the world BY KRISTINA HOUCK Budding entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to develop portable bacterial diagnostic tests and adjustable eyeglasses because of an award made possible by Del Mar husband and wife Suren G. Dutia and Jas K. Grewal. Nanopore Diagnostics and ViFlex were the inaugural winners of the Suren G. Dutia and Jas K. Grewal Global Impact Award from the Skandalaris Center at Washington University in St. Louis. Local entrepreneurs and investors Dutia and Grewal established the award to give promising entrepreneurs the necessary tools to foster innovation and solve real world problems. “It gives me a great deal of pleasure to help these bright, talented individuals,” Dutia said. “The winners that were selected were great,” Grewal added. “They really have the potential to make a difference.” Nanopore received $40,000 to develop a rapid and portable bacterial diagnostic test, which aims to take the guesswork out of prescribing antibiotics. ViFlex received $10,000 to develop low-cost, adjustable eyeglasses as part of a scalable and sustainable solution to reduce the burden of poor vision for the 700 million in the developing world. A panel of judges reviewed poster boards and listened to elevator pitches from six finalists before selecting the winners during the award ceremony Oct. 6 at the Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center at Washington University. “I’m pleased with the way it all came together,” Grewal Jas K. Grewal (left) and said. “Everyone did their part and the entrepreneurs were Suren G. Dutia. Photo by amazing. There are lots of amazing ideas out there.” Kevin Lowder/WUSTL Presented by the Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, the Suren G. Dutia and Jas K. Grewal Global Impact Award was established last year with a $1,025,000 gift from the couple. Open to Washington University students, post-doctoral students and alumni who graduated within the past five years, the award competition was intended for entrepreneurs who are using technology to develop products and services to spur economic growth. After finalists were selected in March, they were connected to mentors throughout the country who advised them on their ventures. “It’s more than just a prize,” Grewal said. “We wanted to incorporate a mentoring component because we feel, in order to create a culture of entrepreneurship, it takes a community.” Born and raised in Bombay, Dutia came to the United States after graduating high school to study at Washington University in St. Louis. He holds three degrees from the uni-

He also received a master’s in business administration from the University of Dallas. A senior fellow with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Dutia invests in a number of startup ventures and is on the board of several firms. Most recently, he served as chief executive officer of TiE, or The Indus Entrepreneurs, Global. With 61 chapters in 18 countries, Silicon Valley-based TiE is one of the largest nonprofits fostering entrepreneurship globally. Earlier in his career, he served as president and CEO of Xscribe, a closed captioning company, and held various leadership positions with Dynatech Corporation. “At a given point, it has to be about more than your individual success,” Dutia said. “Many entrepreneurs reach a point where they think they are the reasons for success, and they forget that it’s the education they got, it’s our system of free enterprise, it’s our culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, and it’s access to a system that provides us guidance See AWARD, page 6

Del Mar couple honored for work in Nepal BY KRISTINA HOUCK From routine medical exams to an emergency appendectomy, Dr. David Monahan has performed or helped cover the cost of medical care for dozens of children in Nepal. Since 2010, Monahan and his wife, Sally Monahan, have held free medical camps in Nepal, in support of Chhahari, a nonprofit helping at-risk and orphaned children. “There are some simple things you can do in the Third World that can prevent a lot of deaths,” said Monahan, who has lived in Del Mar since 1973. “If you get a chance to use your skills, you should. It’s fulfilling.” Monahan, who coowns Amigo Medical Group and also practices medicine at Scripps Mercy Chula Vista and Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, has provided free medical care to people in the Brazilian Amazon since the late 1970s. He first learned about Chhahari while walking his dogs by Stratford Court Cafe in Del Mar several years ago. At that time, Chhahari board members Ingrid and Jerry Hoffmeisters and former board member Carol Kerridge — all Del Mar residents — were holding a used
book sale to raise funds for Chhahari, which means “shelter” in Nepalese. After learning how the organization provides food, education and shelter to children in need, Monahan wanted to provide health care in Nepal, too. He and his wife first traveled to Nepal in 2010, returning in 2011 and 2012. “I feel like we accomplished a lot by going three years in a row,” said Monahan, who plans to return in the next two years. The couple were recently honored during the nonprofit’s Oct. 25 fundraiser in Solana Beach. The event raised money so Chhahari’s children could receive inoculations. Funds will also help the older children go on to college or vocational school. “They’re lovely, lovely people,” said Chhahari founder and president Christine Casey. “Dr. David is full of energy and has a special place in his heart for the poor and

It really comes through in the work he does and the work he continues to do.” Casey founded Chhahari in 2007, after a 2004 trekking exhibition to Nepal. “I saw so many things in person that we only see here on the TV,” said Casey, a Laguna Beach resident who now lives in Nepal from February through July to help run the shelter. “When you’re actually walking in the street and see naked children that are starving to death, it’s horrendous. I saw so many things, I couldn’t shut my brain off at night.” Since opening its doors in 2008, the shelter has served about 40 children. Twenty-five children ages 5-18 live at the shelter. “It’s a very worthy project,” Monahan said. “I think we’ll continue to do this for a long time.” Visit chhahari.org.

Local connections part of Breeders’ Cup For the third consecutive year, Santa Anita Park in Arcadia hosted the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships from Oct. 31-Nov. 1. Several horses with local connections competed, including fan favorite California Chrome, trained by Rancho Bernardo resident Art Sherman. Chrome — who won this year’s Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes — ran in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic. He rallied in the turn for home, but just missed catching 1-2 finishers Bayern and Toast of New York and finished a neck back in third. Part-time Del Mar resident Mike Pegram was represented by two horses in the Breeders’ Cup: Secret Circle, who fell a half-length short of catching Work All Week in the $1.5 million Xpressbet Breeders’ Cup Sprint and winning the race for a second consecutive year; and Tiz Midnight, sixth behind likely 3-year-old filly champion Untapable in the $2 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Also, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners — which has an office in Del Mar — entered Feathered in the $2 million 14 Hands Winery Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. She finished fourth in the race, which was won by Take Charge Brandi. -Kelley Carlson

Bridge for Kids helps students reach the other side — a future full of potential • Nonprofit gives boost to low-income, high-achieving teens BY KAREN BILLING A bridge doesn’t have to be big — just something that helps gets people to where they want to go. For a San Diego student named Brianna, the little boost she got from local non-profit A Bridge for Kids made a huge impact on her life. Brianna, an immigrant from Honduras, has never given up on her valedictorian and college dreams, despite hopelessness and eviction after eviction as her mother struggled with a gambling addiction that resulted from the death of her mother and the suicide of her husband. A senior in high school, Brianna has had many sleepless nights because of the “hunger that consumes the mind when there is not enough food on the table to feed a family of seven.” With the help of A Bridge for Kids sponsorship, she not only got to tour East Coast college campuses and to receive simple “little things” like new kneepads for volleyball and replacement shoes to help her play
Randi Shanken is executive program director for the non profit A Bridge for Kids. sports comfortably — she felt as though she was accepted into a family and made to feel special and loved. “With their support, I have grown to believe in myself,” Brianna wrote about A Bridge for Kids. “It’s always the little things that count. I know we can’t change the world all by ourselves but we can certainly change it one person at a time.” Stories like these are the reason why Carmel Valley’s
plazas . gardens . shops . restaurants . homes . ϐ
Randi Shanken is so passionate about the work she does as the executive program director for A Bridge for Kids. In the past two years, A Bridge for Kids, founded by La Jolla residents Tammy and Michael Nance, has sponsored about 100 youths. Their second Casino Night fundraiser held on Oct. 11 at the La Jolla Country Club brought in $150,000. With help from the sponsorships made that night, the nonprofit will be giving out a little over $27,000 worth of sponsorships to 27 teens in the next few weeks. Shanken has been involved since the beginning of the Nances’ organization. “I was just very impressed by the fact that they were looking to make a difference in a niche that nobody else was really filling,” said Shanken, a former nurse who moved into sales and marketing for a medical device company. “Teenage years are really such a pivotal time. At the time my daughter was in high
school, I was in the midst of it and I understood how important it is to have someone who will invest in you.” Bridge for Kids is run entirely by volunteers, all working out of their homes so there is very little overhead — every dollar they bring in goes directly to the kids. The main emphasis of Bridge is to identify low-income, high-achieving teens who may not be getting what they need to move ahead in life because of their financial situation. The organization has helped students from schools such as Barrio Logan College Institute, Escondido Charter High School, The Preuss School and City Heights Prep. Students are typically nominated by counselors or teachers, and candidates stand out because of their GPAs or their athletic or artistic skills. Shanken said when Bridge for Kids first started, forming partnerships with the schools was challenging, because the program sounded too good to be true. Now that there are several success stories to point to, the pro-
gram has been able to make more connections. Their goal is always to see the program grow and to sponsor more students. The support given by Bridge for Kids differs from kid to kid — each of them has different needs on their wish list. Many want computers because they don’t have one at home to do their homework or work on college applications. For some, Bridge for Kids pays for extra coaching or for an extra-curricular activity that will help round out a college application; others need money to take the tests required to enter college. One student whose family has battled unemployment and medical bills wears uniforms to school, so she wanted clothes to wear for when she went to college. Another girl whose family are refugees from Somalia couldn’t afford the equipment to play on the lacrosse team. Another student just wanted a desk. He was a 4.0 student who did his homework on his cousin’s mattress.
“The stories will just break your heart, and yet they have overcome adversity like you would not believe,” Shanken said. “They keep GPAs of 3.8 to 4.2, and yet they don’t have a mattress to sleep on or they’re sharing a two-bedroom apartment with 11 people. Some are homeless, some are in the foster system, some have great, loving parents, but they have no income and all they want is a little bit to help them.” A Bridge for Kids has also organized college visits, allowing students to tour schools on the East Coast like Harvard, an opportunity they would probably never get otherwise. Shanken said that on the trips, students can visit with financial services officials and find out about assistance. “They can see that it’s real and that it can really happen,” she said, noting that in 97 percent of the cases, the students are the first in their families to go to college and many families are unaware of the financial aid available.

“These are schools that with their GPAs, they can get into but are complete dreams to them. The visits help open up their eyes to the possibilities.� The organization is also looking into providing ACT and SAT prep classes to help their students stay competitive with peers, who are taking the prep classes they are not. A Bridge for Kids makes sure the relationships between student and sponsors are completely safe — the sponsor is never given the student’s last name and all e-mail communication between them is monitored. Should a sponsor want to meet a student, parents or guardians must sign a waiver. This year, Shanken is helping proof her sponsored student’s college essays and talking to him about the ap-
plication process, offering a little extra encouragement and guidance. The student Shanken was sponsoring last year received a full-ride scholarship to Stanford. Bridge for Kids provided him with a laptop, which he used to complete his applications to Harvard, Yale and New York University. The nonprofit also allowed him to visit the East Coast, as his brother also had a full scholarship to Duke University. He discovered the East Coast was not for him, and chose Stanford. “I was just so proud of what he was able to do for himself,� Shanken said. “He had so little, but he and his aunt collected toiletries to give to an orphanage in Tijuana. These kids are amazing, amazing teens and our society would lose out if we didn’t try to nourish them, help them realize their dreams and help them create the life they want to create.�

Principal David Jaffe said he loved Scott as an educator, father, colleague and friend and his passing has profoundly affected him. “It is a very sad time right now, but in the spirit of Scott we will come together to celebrate his life and grow even closer as a school,â€? Jaffe said. Jaffe said counselors would be made available this week to help students cope with their loss. After the news broke over the weekend, many students took to social media to express their grief. “Mr. C has been a huge part of my high school experience and life. I will never forget him,â€? wrote Scotty Gange, a sentiment that would be echoed by many students who named Chodorow as an inspiration, a role model and father figure. “You have taught me to work without the expectation of appreciation from others and how one person can make a difference in someone’s life,â€? wrote senior Brandon Hung, who said he had Chodorow as a teacher since he was a freshman. “I wouldn’t have the confidence in myself and the leadership I have learned over the past four years without your guidance and example ‌ You tried your hardest to never show weakness and would never accept anyone’s pity which showed me how strong someone could be no matter the circumstances of life.â€?

Santa Fe sells about 10,000 acre-feet of water each year to its customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, and, historically, about 30 percent of that supply has come from Lake Hodges. The amount of local water available varies from year to year, depending on rainfall. The rest of the district’s water is purchased from outside sources, and is more expensive than local water. The agreement was needed to clarify the two district’s water rights after Lake Hodges was connected to the regional aqueduct system as part of the County Water Authority’s emergency storage project. The two districts sued the city of San Diego in 2008 over the water rights issue, and the lawsuit was later set aside. Since then, the three parties have been working on an updated agreement. “It has been at the top of our priority list to resolve this issue,� said Santa Fe board President Michael Hogan. “It’s very important to the ratepayers of our district. It secures our local water rights in a way that we can better manage our long-term water supplies, and reduce our reliance on imported water.� Maximizing the use of local water allows the district to control costs and keep rates down, said Hogan. Santa Fe also expects to save about $70,000 per year in operating and maintenance costs for the Lake Hodges reservoir, because those costs will be shared more equitably with other agencies. The other agreement approved by the board Wednesday involves “cathodic protection� systems, which use an electrical current to prevent corrosion of

steel water pipes. The agreement is between Santa Fe and its neighbors, the San Dieguito and Olivenhain water districts. According to a district press release, the partnership will save each district about $100,000 in capital costs, as well as small ongoing savings over the 20-year life of the contract. The agreement arose from a tri-agency committee set up in 2013 to explore a range of partnership opportunities among the three water districts, including consolidating key functions. The committee identified a number of short- and long-term projects that provided opportunities for collaboration and cost-sharing, said Hogan. “This is the first one that’s actually resulted in a mutual agreement between the three agencies that will result in cost savings,� said Hogan. “It’s a direct result of the agencies getting together to see how they can leverage assets and resources to be more efficient and control costs.� Also on Oct. 29, the board recognized General Manager Michael Bardin’s 10th anniversary with the district, and re-appointed Hogan as the district’s representative to the board of the County Water Authority.

They have also created an amenity space for residents by carving out seven outdoor courtyards and adding a pool and spa. The pool will feature cabanas with glass walls looking out onto the village green. The planning board approved the changes and members said they liked that there are more “people spaces.� Pacific Highlands Ranch resident Karen Dubey said she was very happy with the changes. “I like this so much better,� said Dubey, requesting that they incorporate some of her favorite features of the rising Village, such as the Spanish tiles on the top of the building. Construction is set to begin in late 2015, with occupancy in spring 2017. Confirmed tenants for the retail portion of the Village so far include Trader Joe’s, Rite Aid, Panera Bread and The Baked Bear, a custom ice cream-sandwich shop.

BY GLORIA LIMAS Carmel Valley pediatrician Robert Bjork, owner of Sea Breeze Pediatrics, saw a lifelong dream come to fruition this month with the launching of the San Diego Wish Warriors organization.

He published his work in cancer immunology in several abstracts in the 1990s, and wrote a review article on this work published in 2002, describing the role of the exceedingly precisely identified immune suppressive cells in the progression of lethal human cancers. More than a dozen patrons and supporters came together at the Torrey Pines Science Center to celebrate the launch of Wish Warriors. A representative from the Carmel Valley Police substation was present to recruit volunteers for toy drives that benefit the cause. Find more on the organization at www.wishwarriors.org.
Championship. The FLL Challenge is a three-part competition, and this year’s theme is World Class Learning. The first part of the competition is a project requiring the team to pick a topic the team is interested in and identify ways to improve learning the topic. The second part is a robot challenge requiring the team to build and program an autonomous robot to complete missions highlighting the many ways people learn in
today’s global classroom. The third part is to demonstrate core values emphasizing teamwork, cooperation, gracious professionalism and friendly competition. Besides earning a spot in the Southern California Championship, The Ninja Builders’ project was awarded first place in the FLL Challenge. As a group of musicians, the Ninja Builders chose music as their topic. Their project is a blueprint for an app to enhance a musician’s practice by allowing him or her to log practice time, collaborate remotely with a teacher and earn rewards for meeting practice goals. The Ninja Builders, sponsored by ViaSat and Qualcomm, will compete in the FLL Southern California Championship on Dec. 6 at Legoland.

L’Auberge Del Mar names new general manager L’Auberge Del Mar, A Destination Hotel, has named Shaun Beucler as general manager of the 120-room coastal property in the heart of Del Mar Village. Beucler replaces Michael J. Slosser, who was recently promoted to vice president and area managing director, overseeing Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, L’Auberge Del Mar, and Paradise Point Resort & Spa. Beucler takes the reins as this San Diego retreat, with a star-studded past and reputation as one of the finest hotels in the region, celebrates its 25th anniversary. “Shaun will do an outstanding job leading the team at L’Auberge Del Mar,” says Slosser. “His years of experience working with luxury properties that deliver a high level of service while achieving superior financial results will no doubt help the hotel continue to flourish for years to come.” A 13-year veteran of Ritz-Carlton hotels, Beucler most recently served as hotel manager for the newly opened Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage. He was a member of the property’s pre-opening team and helped to shape all aspects of the resort’s design and guest experience. Before that, Beucler held similar posts at Ritz-Carlton San Francisco and Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona. His early years were spent Shaun Beucler primarily at the Ritz-Carlton Naples Beach Resort, Fla., where he worked his way up from food and beverage supervisor. In 2003, Beucler was a recipient of Ritz-Carlton’s 5 Star Leader of the Quarter and Leader of the Year awards. Beucler is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., with a degree in hospitality management. He and his wife, Jennifer, are excited to return to the coast and be a part of the Del Mar community. Visit www.laubergedelmar.com or www.destinationhotels.com.

Del Mar Garden Club members give 100th anniversary boost to Del Mar Library’s succulents BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a centennial celebration planned for the 100-year anniversary of the Del Mar Library, members of the Del Mar Garden Club spruced up the branch’s succulents Oct. 29. “I feel a sense of civic pride,” said Arline Paa, who has been a member of the club for 13 years. “I like to look at this building and think of all of the history, and I like to take care of it.” “The library is near and dear to my heart,” added Marian Casazza, whose family donated a bench to the library in honor of her late mother, Janice Thuli Wilkinson, a longtime Del Mar resident. “I just want it to be beautiful, inside and out.” The late Bill Teague, a former master gardener and horticulturist in Del Mar, collaborated with the Garden Club to design the library’s garden about five years ago, Paa said. The garden features succulents and highlights “The Wave,” a statue by artist James Hubbell that was donated to the library and has sat at the entrance since 1996. The Garden Club, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, continues to maintain the garden, along with various other public gardens, including those at Del Mar’s City Hall and post office. “It adds so much to our neighborhood and our community,” said Gale Bakker, president of the 65-member club, which was formed in September 1988. “It’s really something to be proud of.”

What inspires a life well lived? Above: Amy Jerome, executive director of Girls on the Run San Diego, on the stage at Lunafest. Right: Elin Stebbins Waldal, local author, was at Lunafest.
Lunafest Traveling Film Festival benefits Girls on the Run San Diego BY LOIS ALTER MARK Girls on the Run San Diego, a nonprofit program for pre-teen girls, recently hosted its seventh annual Lunafest event in Carmel Valley. Lunafest is a traveling film festival featuring eight award-winning short films by, for and about women. This year’s festival will take place in more than 150 cities, reaching more than 25,000 people. “We’re proud of our partnership with Lunafest,” said Amy Jerome, executive director of GOTRSD. “We love sharing the powerful films and creating an event that provides for camaraderie among our volunteers and the community.” The films are entertaining and empowering, handling their subject matter — love, beauty, culture, motherhood — with humor and empathy. They provoked laughter, tears and discussion among the packed audience. One of the biggest crowd pleasers was “A Good Match,” a delightful story by Lyn Elliot about a young woman who breaks up with her boyfriend but doesn’t want to end her relationship with his mother. Viewers were also enthralled watching “Lady Parts,” a documentary by Emily Fraser and Katherine Gorringe about a female-run automotive shop in Redwood City where customers are nurtured and educated while their cars are being repaired. In fact, afterwards, many pulled out their phones to check Google maps to see how far Redwood City is from San Diego. “The movies this year were so good, it’s hard to pick just one favorite,” said Kathryn Osborn, GOTRSD Registration Manager. “Five of them shared the theme of women challenging social norms — in the automotive industry, in aviation in the early 1800s, in a mariachi band, in a 1970s punk band and in a high school. All were inspiring and had their own twists.” The endings of “Chicas Day,” Susan Bejar’s story about an imaginative girls’ day, and “Tryouts,” Susana Casares’ portrait of a Muslim-American girl who yearns to join the cheerleading squad at her new school, were especially surprising and thought-provoking. You could hear people still talking about them in the lobby after the event. Lunafest doesn’t just raise awareness of important issues, though. Through its events, the festival raises money for the Breast Cancer Fund along with local nonprofits in each city. “Lunafest ’14 was our largest and most successful fundraiser to date,” said Jerome. “We were thrilled.” Girls on the Run San Diego is the local branch of the international nonprofit that has made a huge impact on the lives of thousands of girls from third through eighth grade. Over the course of 10 weeks, they explore and discuss their beliefs and experiences, along with the challenges they face. Physical activity is woven into the curriculum as the girls train to run a 5K. Anyone can participate in the noncompetitive, celebratory 5K, which will take place Dec. 6 at NTC Park in Liberty Station. “I have three daughters myself and have witnessed firsthand the powerful impact the curriculum has, not only on participants but on families,” said Jerome. “I love being behind a program that believes in girls and women while promoting leadership at all ages.” As was obvious at Lunafest, volunteers make up a huge, vital component of Girls on the Run, and there are so many ways to get involved.

DM Rotary honors local business for ethics BY KRISTINA HOUCK A local test prep and tutoring company was honored for its ethical business practices during the Rotary Club of Del Mar’s inaugural 4-Way Ethical Business Award ceremony Oct. 30 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Sorrento Valley-based Hammer Prep was selected from 20 award finalists. “We take great pride in preparing students for the future,” said Hammer Prep founder and president Andrew Hemmerich, a San Diego native, who grew up in Del Mar and attended Torrey Pines High School. “We do it in a one-onone environment, and we do everything we possibly can for every single kid. We build long-lasting relationships with our students in hopes that they’re going to do something much greater than any one of us has done with our lives.” Rotary International is a service organization of approximately 1.2 million people in 34,000 clubs around the world. Del Mar Rotary was chartered in 1954. Rotary clubs use a foundation of four core values as their guiding principles. These four principles, known as the “Four-Way Test,” state that all members of the club will be truthful, fair, builders of goodwill and beneficial to all. In an effort to expand the Four-Way Test to local businesses, Del Mar Rotary launched the 4-Way Ethical Business Award program this year. “We can’t do things in San Diego County, as a government, alone,” said Supervisor Dave Roberts, who presented certificates of recognition to each of the 20 finalists. “We need partners throughout the community. We need businesses

DM Village chosen to support Komen walk during annual 3-day/60-mile fundraiser Not only is Del Mar well known for its beautiful beaches and historical racetrack, it is also known for “turning pink” each November for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Del Mar will once again host its “Cheer for a Cure in Old Del Mar” as the first official cheering station for the largest breast cancer walk in the nation, the 2014 San Diego Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation 3-Day/60-Mile Walk for the Cure. “For the past seven years, the Del Mar Village Association has hosted and organized this pink block party to honor the walkers for this amazing journey of hope and endurance,” explained Jen Grove, executive director of the DMVA. “We admire their courage and want them to know that Del
Mar truly supports their efforts.” The event starts Friday, Nov. 21 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds with the first walkers expected to arrive at 7:45 a.m. and continuing for several hours. Camino Del Mar will be heavily adorned with pink ribbons, pink balloons, and pink storefronts. All throughout the town, large crowds of supporters will be cheering and encouraging the walkers on their journey south. The celebration will also include live music and cheerleaders. “The entire village of Del Mar rallies around this event,” said event spokesman Jim Coleman. “Shop and business owners decorate their storefronts in pink to honor the walkers, and volunteers will be passing out coffee, snacks, bottled waters and even buttons as they pass by.”
Del Mar restaurants En Fuego and La Tienda at 1342 Camino Del Mar will be the“1st Official Cheering Station” for the 3-Day Walk and will serve as the water station dropoff for anyone interested in donating cases of bottled water before Nov. 21. Del Mar is the first city the walk passes through on the 60-mile journey south to the final destination at Petco Park on Sunday, Nov. 23 for the 3-Day Walk closing ceremonies. For details, contact the Del Mar Village Association at 858735-3650 or email info@delmarmainstreet.com. For more on San Diego’s 2014 Susan G.

Donations sought for sleeping bags to aid homeless veterans in S.D. San Diego Veterans For Peace have begun their fifth year of handing out sleeping bag sets to homeless veterans in downtown San Diego. In December 2010 the San Diego chapter of the national Veterans For Peace organization began the “Compassion Campaign” — an outreach to help displaced homeless veterans. Ignited by conversations with many homeless veterans on the street in downtown San Diego, the chapter membership determined that the lives of homeless veterans and nonveterans downtown could improve significantly if given basic equipment — like a sleeping bag — as many were sleeping rough on hard pavement each night with only a light blanket, their jackets, or nothing. Putting ideas into action, SDVFP contacted local vendors about the purchase of 100 sets at wholesale prices. The humble goal of raising $3,000 was announced to members and supporters of the San Diego Veterans for Peace, with the funds to cover the sleeping bag sets (sleeping bag, waterproof nylon stuff-sack and poncho). News of the outreach program began to spread, first to friends and families, and soon after to the general public. The response was magnificent, enabling the program to buy and distribute sleeping bag sets well beyond its original goal. The “Compassion Campaign” now continues year-round, with veteran and associate chapter members (some who fought in Korea and are now in their 80s) quietly delivering bag sets downtown late at night after the homeless have bedded down for the night. This makes finding those truly in need of items easier! Bag sets are now purchased directly from the Coleman Company in Colorado and are ordered in quantities of 50 or 100 as donations arrive. The Coleman Company generously provides bag sets at tax-free wholesale prices and pays the shipping charges to San Diego. The cost of a set is $33. All administrative costs for this program are prepaid through the financial help of a generous donor. Every dollar donated buys gear. With the amazing generosity of the public, as of October 2014, more than 2,300 sleeping bag sets have been purchased and handed out individually downtown by veteran and associate members of SDVFP. The need is still there, and donations may be made online (www.SDVFP.org) with a credit card or PayPal — or checks made out to “SDVFP” can be mailed to: SDVFP, 11685 Scripps Lake Drive, San Diego, CA 92131. Each donor receives a card of thanks and a receipt for tax purposes, as SDVFP is a 501(c)3 veterans educational organization. For information, contact Gil Field at GField@san.rr.com or 858-342-1964.
CCA community enjoys finding healthy balance at Wellness Day The student body and faculty of Canyon Crest Academy put their regular curriculum aside recently to participate in the first Wellness Day. The objective of this event, held Oct. 17, was for the CCA community to focus on study/life balance, wellness, and making connections with each other. Robin Duncan, a part of CCA’s faculty for nine years, said that the idea for Wellness Day came after last year’s Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation visit. While CCA received extremely high marks in most areas, WASC identified a need to create student connectedness and help students deal with the high academic pressures that are prevalent on campus. A focus on mental health awareness was also suggested. Principal Karl Mueller assembled a Wellness Committee, made up of 10 teachers and counselors, who created the curriculum for the day. Duncan, who was a part of the committee, said that they wanted students to understand that “they are more than their GPA.” Each of the day’s four

Teachers were given prompts and talking points, with suggestions for TedX videos, other multimedia aids, and activities that supported the theme. Freshman Olivia Bertsch reported that the balance meditation activity was her favorite: “It was so relaxing and I felt like it was a great way to relieve stress.” Sophomore Pierce Bond, whose class made videos of each other, enjoyed the leadership activities. “It was inspiring to learn about the other kids in the class,” he said. In addition to students getting to know their fellow students better, the event also had an impact on them. “The activities were a great opportunity to see the students as real people and vice versa,” Duncan said. “I felt different when I came back to school. I knew the kids better.” The day concluded with an impromptu dance party in the quad, which celebrated the new connections made by CCA students and faculty with each other and to the school community. Feedback about the day has been overwhelmingly positive, and the district is discussing the possibility of more Wellness Days.

New Parisi Speed School builds up kids’ athletic foundation, confidence BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley residents Joe and Trisha Virga have brought the Parisi Speed School to San Diego, a training facility for youth that has groomed more than 700,000 athletes nationwide in the past 22 years. The Virgas opened their Sorrento Valley location on Nov. 1, just steps away from their kickboxing studio CKO Kickboxing. Joe Virga said while there is lots of sports-specific training available for kids, there’s a need to focus on athleticism as a whole, building the foundations of a great athlete. Parisi teaches kids ages 7 to 18 how to run faster, build strength and increase flexibility and endurance. “At the end of the day, you’re building confidence, and you hope you’re not making just better athletes but better people, which is so important to me,” said Joe, a father of three boys. “There wasn’t a program like this when I was growing up. I was too scared to play sports when I was younger. I wasn’t coordinated, and I was so fearful of all
sports because I didn’t feel capable of it. So now I hope to give kids an advantage and help change their outlook on life.” Bill Parisi founded the Parisi Speed School in 1992 in New Jersey. Parisi was an All-American in track and field athlete, and to prepare for the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials in the javelin throw, he traveled the world to learn the best training methods. He took what he had learned and started Parisi Speed School in a $500 van he drove from school to school to train young athletes. And he didn’t just work with young athletes — one of his first clients was New York Giants quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Phil Simms. The first brick-and-mortar facility opened in 1993 in New Jersey, and in 2005 he began franchising. There are now 88 Speed Schools in 27 states — the Sorrento Valley location is one of only two in Southern California. Virga first witnessed Parisi’s method when visiting a friend who is the strength
conditioning coach for the UCLA football team. “It was a masterpiece, watching him train these kids with what he had learned at Parisi Speed School,” Virga said. A week later, fate seemed to arrive in his inbox — an email that Parisi Speed School representatives were coming to San Diego to do a presentation. Virga said “yes” to the opportunity to target the fastest-growing demographic in youth sports, became certified in the Parisi method and started scouting locations for his facility. Virga is a New York native, betrayed by his Brooklyn-tinged accent. He spent an extremely stressful 11 years on Wall Street before he realized he didn’t want to live that kind of unhealthy life. He discovered fitness and never looked back. The certified trainer said at 40, he’s in way better health, physically and mentally, than he was at 30, and admits that if someone told him then what he’d be doing today, he’d have said they were crazy.

Bottom: Carmel Valley’s Joe and Trisha Virga. ‘There wasn’t a program like this when I was growing up,’ says Joe Virga. ‘I hope to give kids an advantage and help change their outlook on life.’ With Trisha, he bought his first CKO Kickboxing franchise in New York and they ran it for five years before he and his wife decided to move to San Diego in 2012. They started a CKO in Sorrento Valley — the noncontact fitness center has women hitting a heavy bag and doing strength training. At Parisi, Trisha will bring her
45-minute boot camp for adults featuring their TRX tools, medicine balls and push sleds. The two facilities are so close to each other on Miramar that the pair will be able to walk back and forth all day, switching off just as they do in taking care of their three little boys. “She does everything, I just show up,” Virga said of his wife and partner. “We’re very blessed to do what we love every day, and we wouldn’t trade that for anything.” The new Parisi facility is a clean, sharp-looking 5,000 square feet. They have a three lane, 25-yard track where they teach kids the mechanics they need to run properly. “You don’t have to be born fast to be fast — that’s a myth,” Virga said. “We can change one or two things about the way you run to get faster, it’s all in the mechanics.” Next to the track is a large artificial turf area where they work on change of direction movements — how to quickly move side to side without getting hurt. “Safety is the No. 1 thing we teach kids,” Virga See SCHOOL, page 21

Former TPHS football star continues sports success on ‘thriving’ University of Arizona team BY ROB LEDONNE One of the biggest stars to come out of the Torrey Pines football program in recent years is RSF native Jacob Alsadek, the towering 6-foot-7-inch athlete who collected a variety of notable accomplishments during his time in North County, including being named one of the top 300 high school athletes in the country, helping his team win the Surf Cup, and being named a Union Tribune Scholar-Athlete. These days, Alsadek has managed to continue his charmed sports career as a freshman offensive lineman for University of Arizona’s Wildcats. “I feel good so far this season,� said Alsadek on a recent Wednesday morning from the University’s campus in Tucson. “You always want to do better, though. I want to get better and better as time goes on, so I’m never really satisfied.� It’s that defiant attitude which made Alsadek a standout during his time at Torrey Pines. However, Alsadek explains, playing college football is an entirely different experience from playing in high school. “I thought I was strong
Jacob Alsadek when I was in high school,� he said. “Then, I come out here and realize that everyone’s strong and big... I’m still one of the stronger guys on the team, but in high school I was able to completely overpower somebody without trying, and here I have to pay attention to my technique. Back in high school, I didn’t have to worry about any of that because nobody was as big as me!� Aside from the expanding physicality of the players, Alsadek also points out that playing for a club like the Arizona Wildcats, an NCAA team in the Pac 12 conference, involves a bit more dedication than what he was initially used to. “I’m at the next level

coach Rich Rodriguez and a rejuvenated team, which includes Alsadek. Alsadek acknowledged he has come a long way from his humble beginnings at Torrey Pines, especially from his first game as a freshman. One factor that helped him throughout his entire career, he said, were his parents, Sophia and Louay Alsadek. “Both my parents have been huge influences on me; my father works extremely hard and so does my mom. Because of that, it helped me develop as a person.� Another factor in his success is a pure love of the game, which shone through during his very first match as a Wildcat. “It was a highlight,� he recalled. �Before I went out, I gave my mom a hug and didn’t say anything to her because I couldn’t talk, since I was so nervous. “I had so much fun being back on the field playing this sport that I love so much. To put in enough work to be able to play ... it means a lot to me, and I fully realize how special the opportunities I have are.�

Local rowers sprint to top-10 finishes at prestigious Boston race ‘Head of the Charles’ Regatta is world’s largest two-day meet Varsity Women Rowers with the San Diego Rowing Club proved they are among the world’s best, earning 5th- and 8th-place finishes against an elite field of rowers at the 50th annual Head of the Charles Regatta. As the world’s largest and most prestigious two-day regatta, the HOCR attracts the best rowers from North America, Europe and other regions. The rowers compete on a Charles River course that runs three miles against strong currents under seven bridges and through difficult turns. In the Women’s Youth Doubles (2x), SDRC’s Mariko Kelly and Jillian Renly claimed an impressive 5th place in a field of 33 boats, besting their competition with a blazing time of 20:21.38. The youth doubles field included junior national championship teams from Germany, Canada and the U.S. In the Women’s Youth Fours (4+), SDRC’s Christina Indudhara, Rachel Wayne, Cassandra Fernandes, Jordan Glenn, and coxswain Madeline Ottilie earned a stunning 8th place in a field of 84 boats. In windy, cold race conditions, the SDRC 4+ team surged ahead of more than a half-dozen boats, fighting their way to a 20:22.81 finish time — just seven-tenths of a second off 7th place and drawing praise from the race announcer. Two-time U.S. Olympic rowing gold medalist Susan Francia coaches the SDRC Varsity Women and cheered the team’s results. SDRC was the only club to bring home two top 10 finishes in the youth doubles and youth fours races. “I am incredibly proud of the accomplishments of the girls,” said Francia. “Jill (Renly) and Mariko (Kelly) had a fantastic race, pushing the pace in the double. We didn’t even know the caliber of athletes that we were up against in this field, and Jill and Mariko really held their own. “The four very pleasantly surprised me with their top 10 finish,” she added. “Three of the four girls were novices last year, but if you were watching the race you wouldn’t have been able to tell. They rowed very well and kept pushing their boat ahead. Maddie (Ottilie) steered a phenomenal course, yelling at crews to get out of the way, all while calmly motivating the crew to stay focused. Both boats really rose to the challenge in this incredibly competitive regatta, and they looked good doing it!” At the HOCR, rowers have staggered starts, separated by 15 seconds. They race against the clock instead of directly head-to-head. Boats start in single file, but as they row the strenuous course, faster boats pass the others. According to the event’s organizers, the regatta featured more than 11,000 athletes this year, competing in 2,252 boats in 60 events. Rowers from clubs, schools and universities represented 40 states and 28 countries. More than 400,000 spectators lined the river for miles to watch. All seven girls representing SDRC at the regatta attend local high schools: In the 2x, Kel-

The Varsity Women row on Mission Bay out of SDRC’s boathouse on El Carmel Point. The San Diego Rowing Club is a nonprofit founded in 1888 and committed to helping develop and expand the sport. The club’s Juniors Program offers one of the premier places to learn to row, developing strong athletes who go on to compete on college crew and national teams each year. The club trains students from dozens of high schools across San Diego County.

Making minor food swaps can Time for change in cyclists’ attitudes create major health benefits Letters to the editor/opinion
I concur with Linda Deftos regarding bicyclists. We are experiencing a shift in the behavior and attitudes of many bicyclists using our coastal community roads. While most bicyclists are law-abiding, there are enough who put themselves and others in danger that this issue must now be addressed. Here are some suggestions that could make a difference regarding public safety, including the issue of bicyclists using the public roads: • It is time for Del Mar to provide our own police protection and public safety; and stop relying on the County Sheriff’s Dept. This is where our funds should be spent, above all else. We all observe countless laws being broken, with no apparent concern over consequence. The need for our own police department goes way beyond bicycling, and should be a top priority with our leadership. • As an example: Regarding bicycling, Del Mar and the entire state of California should require bicycles using public roads to be licensed and registered annually by the owner, who should participate in an appropriate percent of taxes to maintain roads. • Del Mar and the state of California should require all bicyclists to pass a written test as part of the process. Just like motorized vehicles. • It is understood that a separate category and testing for child bicyclists would be needed, yet required for public safety. • Citations should be issued to lawbreakers, with suspension or revocation of their license; and confiscation of bicycles where appropriate. Note to bicyclists: Use and share the roads responsibly, and correct fellow bicyclists who are ignoring the laws. Yes, there is a new 3-foot law; but where there is a bike lane, stay within it. Why risk riding outside the bike lane, and create a potential disaster? You should not expect a car to swerve into another vehicle or slam on the brakes and be hit from behind, when you have chosen to come out into traffic. In doing so, you put yourself and everyone around you at risk. Cindy Bligh LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

CHURCH continued from page 2
in the Armenian style, reaching 93 feet in height to the top of the cross. The campus will also include a youth recreation center, a 500-seat multipurpose hall and a cultural/educational building. St. Garabed Church meets in North Park, in a facility it has outgrown. Spokesman Harry Krikorian said the church purchased the property in 2008 to fulfill dreams for a new church campus and applied for a conditional use permit back in 2011. Church officials have since worked “diligently” to create a plan that makes sense for their congregation while also respecting the land and the concerns of residents. “We look forward to realizing our dream of a new church campus,” said Steven Kradjian, who has attended St. John Garabed for more than 20 years — it’s where he met his wife Lisa. “It will be a beautiful and faithful testament to iconic Armenian churches … it’s the legacy we wish to leave for our children and grandchildren.” Many supporters came to the commission, all dressed in white. But not everyone who spoke was in favor of the project. Nancy Novak, who is on the Carmel Valley planning board but spoke as a resident, expressed her con-
cerns about the project’s bulk and scale. She said the land where the project will be built is supposed to be a relief from urbanization and should stay open space, or with a very low-density use. Representatives from the Harvest Evangelical Formosan Church also came forward with concerns about the size, 50 feet taller than their church campus, and the safety of the access road. “El Camino Real is a major thoroughfare and there’s a lot of traffic. Most of the time it’s congested and people are driving 50 miles per hour down the hill, very fast,” said William Nguyen from Harvest. “I see this design as definitely creating a hazard.” Commissioner Douglas Austin agreed that he is concerned about safety, as a close friend was killed in an accident on this curve of El Camino Real. City traffic engineer Farah Mahzari said city staff shared those concerns with the location of the driveway, but they feel the problem will be resolved with the addition of a 140-foot-long right-turn lane as an entrance into the project and a 900-foot-long acceleration lane exiting of the project. Commission Chairperson Tim Golba said that is a very fast road, but he is satisfied by the acceleration and deceleration lanes as a solution. Golba noted he is often in the area for Surf and Sharks soccer and the
prime time for use on El Camino Real is not Sunday mornings, which will help with the traffic flow. Commissioner James Whalen said as the church will be “visually very prominent,” he encouraged them to use stone as much as possible, even though he understands cost will be an issue. Commissioner Austin agreed. “If it’s true to what you are looking to do, I think it could be a rich addition to the neighborhood,” Austin said. “I encourage you to really go the extra mile on material, colors and details.” “The goal and hope is to make it as authentic as possible,” Escobar-Eck said. As part of that authentic vision, the church will also have a memorial plaza to honor next year’s 100year anniversary of the Armenian genocide, in which 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives. Member Mary Ann Yaghdjian grew emotional when speaking about the church as a whole and what it means to the roughly 3,000 Armenians who have been in San Diego since the 1920s. “We are a small people and a lot of our culture has been lost … We’re doing our part to pass it on to the next generation. It’s culturally significant to everyone,” said Yaghdjian. “We are grateful to this country for opening the door to us in our darkest times.”
BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH “Eat a healthy diet.” You’ve probably heard this advice over and over again, and you probably know the basics: Consume less fat and sugar, make more nutritious choices, add more fiber to your meals. But how do you actually implement these recommendations day in and day out? It can feel overwhelming to think about changing the way you eat — especially if you are planning and preparing meals for your whole family. Yet you may find it surprisingly easy to make a few small substitutions. Over time, these can add up to significant health benefits, such as lower blood pressure and better cholesterol levels. Swapping one food for another similar but better option can help you consume more vitamins and minerals, and may make it easier to manage your weight. Plus, if you’re living with Type 2 diabetes, or are among the 86 million Americans with high glucose levels bordering on diabetes, replacing foods that send blood sugar skyrocketing for others that keep them in check can make a significant difference in managing or even preventing the disease. Here are six simple substitutions to try: 1. Replace refined white grains with whole grains. Refined grains, such as white rice or white flour, are whole grains that have had their husk, bran and germ removed — along with most of the fiber and important nutrients. Research has shown that eating whole grains can lower your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes by 20 to 30 percent. And, because whole grains are more filling than refined grains, you’ll feel full longer. Instead of white rice, try brown rice, quinoa or barley. Instead of white bread, choose bread with a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. 2. Replace iceberg lettuce with darker greens. Iceberg lettuce provides water and some fiber, but that’s about it for nutrition. Substitute dark leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, kale, Swiss chard or collard greens, and suddenly you have a lot more nutrition as well as fiber. Darker greens are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, as well as magnesium and potassium, which can help control high blood pressure. If you need to make a gradual switch, start by adding more dark greens and less iceberg to your salads. 3. Replace fried chips with baked. Craving a crunchy bag of chips? Many types of conventional snack chips are now available in baked versions that contain less fat. Try baked potato or baked tortilla chips instead of fried. Popcorn chips provide the same crunch as potato chips with less fat and calories. For an even healthier option, try baked kale chips. 4. Replace fruit juice with whole fruit. A glass of juice may be more convenient, but eating the whole fruit is a better option. Apple, orange and grape juices do not contain the fiber-rich skins and pulp of the fruit, which slow down the absorption of sugar and prevent insulin from spiking. Because juice has all of the sugar without the fiber, insulin levels rise and drop more quickly — exactly what you don’t want, especially if you have diabetes. Instead of buying juice, eat the whole fruit. Also, bypass the smoothie shops that use a lot of juice and make your own at home with whole strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and almond milk or low-fat yogurt. Toss in a handful or raw kale or spinach — you’ll get the benefits without even tasting it. 5. Replace breakfast cereal with steel-cut oats. Many boxed cereals are made with refined grains and can be low in fiber and high in sugar. Switch to oatmeal instead and increase your fiber intake. Instant oatmeal may take less time to prepare, but steel-cut oats are higher in fiber and will cause insulin levels to rise more slowly. If you are short on time, prepare several servings of steel-cut oats over the weekend and reheat them for breakfast in the morning. Mix in almonds, walnuts or low-fat yogurt for a protein boost. 6. Replace oil with applesauce. Instead of making brownies, cakes and banana breads with oil, use an equal amount of applesauce. In addition to reducing fat and calories, substituting applesauce makes baked foods lighter and moister. Choose natural, unsweetened applesauce with no added sugar.

TPHS girls tennis celebrating 25 straight years of dominance BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Pines High girls tennis team has quite the racquet going. On Thursday, Oct. 30, the team impressively won its 25th consecutive CIF championship at the Barnes Tennis Center. The undefeated Falcons won 17-1 in the Open Division against La Jolla Country Day, with all of the girls dominating their matches. “Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon are such fierce rivals, we were expecting to play LCC in the finals,” said senior CC Schwab, who was team captain with senior Kelsey Chen. “Somehow in the seminfinals, La Jolla Country Day got by LCC. At the finals, it was unbelievable — all the LCC girls had ‘Go TP’ shirts on. I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of LCC and TP to have our rivals cheer for us.” CC noted that the 17-1 score doesn’t reflect the good competition La Jolla Country Day gave them and said they had a lot of respect for the team and their coach, Jocelyn Burkett. “This may be the best team Torrey Pines has ever had,” said Coach John deLille, who is in his first season as varsity coach. He was the girls junior varsity coach last year and also coaches the boys varsity tennis team. “They all impress me.” The girls celebrated by giving Coach deLille a Gatorade shower. Nationally ranked The depth of the girls squad is shown by the endless combifreshman Hannah Zhao. Photo by Anna nations in the lineup, said CC, who posted wins with close to 10 different players in matches throughout the season. Scipione “It’s been so much fun for me to be a captain of our team. Every single girl on our team is a fantastic player in her own right,” said CC. “We knew that based on talent and numbers, we could win CIF. Our challenge has been to keep the team united and to try to learn from each other. It hasn’t always been easy, since we’re a group of teenage girls, and I’m so proud that our team came through and won the 25th consecutive CIF for TP.” The team still has work to do, prepping for the state championships, which begin Nov. 18. As deLille said, the biggest challenge ahead will be keeping everyone focused on the task at hand and not letting outside distractions get to them.

CCA girls win first CIF team tennis championship
In their fourth final in as many years, the Canyon Crest Academy Girls tennis team, at long last, won its first CIF Team Championship by a score of 10-8, defeating Bishop’s Knights in a tense, hard-fought Division 1 battle. The dual match was secured when the Ravens’ No. 3 sophomore team, Emma Burton and Juliann Li, won their set 6-2 over Bishop’s No. 2 team. The dagger came when senior Hayley Scarano and sophomore Amanda Schiffman, the Ravens’ No. 1 team, won the final set of the day 6-3 over Bishop’s No. 3 team. Special praise to freshman Charlotte Alexander for holding down her No. 3 singles position on the team. Last, to freshman Jordan Voytilla, sophomore Lily Richard, and to junior Madeline Snigaroff for their contribution in the team’s overall success. Both seniors, Otilia Popa and Madison Ross, won two of their three sets by overwhelming their opponents in businesslike fashion, helping CCA win the first CIF tennis title in Canyon Crest’s 10-year history. The Ravens were jubilant in being able to secure the title, as this would be the last chance seniors Popa, Madison, and Scarano would have to bring home the top prize and earn a banner for the school’s gym. In post-season play, the Lady Ravens swept through Patrick Henry High School, Coronado High, and Westview High on their road to the final. Coach Larry Belinsky gave his team much praise and credit for being focused and steadfast throughout the competition. “They never lost sight of the prize in front of them,” he said. “I am so happy for them.”

Not to be outdone, the U8 and U10 teams won the Southern California Championships, with the U10s going on to win the California State Games for the exciting Sevens version of the game. Sevens rugby will be played at the Rio Olympics in 2016. All Mustang coaches are nationally trained and certified, and pass stringent safety and background checks. Many have played internationally, and a handful represented their country in past World Cups. Matt Hawkins, recently retired coach and captain of the USA Sevens national team, started his son with the Mustangs last year. “I found the Mustangs very well run and the coaching top-notch,” said Hawkins about why he chose the Mustangs Club. Parents of players often find rugby a safe and exciting new sport. “I have four sons who grew up playing tackle football and baseball, and when they discovered rugby, they took to it like ducks to water,” said rugby dad Steve Goena of Rancho Santa Fe. “Now that I understand the flow and most of the rules, I too have grown to love the game.” Goena’s oldest son, Jake, is now playing rugby for the University of California Bears, a national collegiate powerhouse. Many other Mustangs alum are playing rugby at their respective colleges as well. Torrey Pines High School, Cathedral Catholic, and many other local high schools now play rugby as a varsity sport.

Torrey Pines freshmen put Mt. Carmel Sun Devils in shade, 21-0 In their fourth shutout Torrey Pines Falcons defeated the Mt. Carmel Sun Devils 21-0. Torrey Pines took the opening kickoff 75 yards on the running of Zach Friedland and Sully O’Brien, who scored on a 33yard pitch-out. After a great kickoff return, the Sun Devils started on the Falcon 47 but were only able to move the ball to the 41, where they turned the ball over on fourth down. In one of the strangest plays of the season, O’Brien was stopped for a short gain but there was no whistle. Players The Falcons stopped the Sun Devils five times on fourth disentangled themselves from down. the pile and stood around looking for the spot of the ball. Finally one alert Mt. Carmel player realized there had been no whistle, picked up the football and ran to the Falcon 4-yard line before he was tackled. Referees ruled it a fumble recovery and the Sun Devils’ ball. Memo to Torrey Pines: The play ain’t over ‘til the zebra whistles. Memo to officials: Inattention to the game and failure to whistle forward progress is just asking for late hits and injuries. Mt. Carmel was again unable to budge the Torrey Pines defense, and turned the ball over on fourth down. The Falcons moved the ball, but stopped themselves with penalties and punted. Mt. Carmel tried a third time to convert fourth down but were stopped by Falcon Jack Nelson. Torrey Pines capitalized on the turnover with a 49-yard touchdown run by Friedland to put the Falcons up 14-0. The Sun Devils answered with a couple of 30-yard runs of their own, with touchdown saving tackles by Friedland and Peter Nelson. Starting at first and goal from the 5, Mt. Carmel was stopped on fourth down by Parker Williams. Torrey Pines took over on the one, quarterback Jackie Plashkes ran for a first down and some breathing space, and the Falcons ran out the first half. Mt. Carmel drove downfield to open the second half but were intercepted in the end zone by Shayne Grant. Then Friedland broke through the line and raced 75 yards for Torrey Pines’ third touchdown. When the ensuing Sun Devils drive stalled again, they saw the futility of fourth-down conversions against the Falcon defense, and punted. Torrey Hills moveddown the depth chart, giving playing time to more athletes as the game settled into a field position battle, until time ran out. Mt. Carmel falls to a 7-2 record and plays Westview at home for its final game. Torrey Pines is now 9-0 and hosts La Costa Canyon. Both are at 5 p.m. Nov. 6.

Local resident’s orphanage in Baja gives medically fragile kids a chance
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Dr. Berge Minasian can still remember the moment he rolled up his pants legs and walked barefoot over a bed of hot embers. Although struck with fear, he completed the task for his class at the American Hypnotherapy Institute in Orange County. “You can do anything,” Minasian said. “You just have to put your mind to it.” In his book, “Choose to Thrive,” the Solana Beach author draws from his personal experiences in the public and private sectors to encourage readers to follow their dreams and thrive. “It’s my life’s work,” Minasian said. “It’s all about living and living a fulfilled life.” Minasian began his career as teacher in 1958 and became an elementary school principal in 1963. After moving with his family to Solana Beach in 1977, Minasian served as a principal at Solana Vista Elementary School and Skyline Elementary School before retiring from the Solana Beach School District in 1991. Already holding a master’s in psychology from Wayne State University, Minasian completed his Ph.D. in clinical hypnotherapy and psychology at the American Hypnotherapy Institute during his final years in education. Shortly after retiring from the district, he opened his Clinical Hypnotherapy Wellness Center in Solana Beach, then in Mira Mesa. In 2000, he closed his practice to work with his three adult children as their company’s staff development coordinator. Minasian retired for the third time in 2008. In 2010, Minasian published his first book, “Power of Choice.” His second book, he said, is a “companion piece.” “I hope people will come to understand that they are responsible for their own happiness,” Minasian said. “People are the architects of their own life. You can choose to be optimistic or choose to be pessimistic. It’s your choice, and you get what you choose. Choose happiness.” “Choose to Thrive” is available online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble (www.barnesandnoble.com). Visit www.choosetothrive.org.
Catherine’s Kids serves medically fragile children with various needs in Rosarito. Fellowship. The experience touched his heart and he began by supporting 12 orphanages in Baja. McTaggart saw that there was a special-needs population that was being underserved. Children with severe medical issues had no place to go, and Baja has no facilities that accept children with autism under age 12. He wanted to a create a “top-notch” facility in Mexico that would rival what one would find in the U.S. In 2005, he bought a three-building complex in a “sweetheart deal” from Calvary Chapel in Mendocino and has had help fixing it up from churches and volunteer groups who have traveled to Rosarito. The facility is now home to 16 employees and 12 volunteers, providing love, care, education, physical therapy and rehabilitation. The staff work with doctors who volunteer medical expertise, such as a liaison from Rady Children’s Hospital. Catherine’s has a principal and teachers on staff, and the children attend school at the facility. McTaggart works closely with the orphanage’s director, Jan

He knows true suffering and understands the needs of those who have been seriously neglected in our society,” Platovsky said. “Jerry’s commitment to the children has no limits, and begins with the love and care he knows we all need to provide for the kids.” Children at Catherine’s range in age from 1 to 8

‘Choose to Thrive,’ advises Solana Beach author in new book
11235 C Creeakrmel
‘Choose to Thrive,’ by retired educator Dr. Berge Minasian, is ‘all about living and living a fulfilled life.’
BY KAREN BILLING Jerry McTaggart considers himself the father of 11 very special children, and it’s difficult for him to speak about them without his eyes filling with tears. The 11 children live at Catherine’s Kids, a home he founded for medically fragile children in Baja California in 2005. If anyone can relate to what the children go through, it’s McTaggart, a Rancho Santa Fe resident whose mother gave him up to an orphanage when he was 8 years old because she could no longer care for him. He has dedicated his life to helping those who need it most and he says for everything he’s done, he gets 10 times back. Catherine’s is able to transform the children’s lives, loving them and helping them grow. “We want to see the kids have a better life, whatever better is,” McTaggart said. “If they have a smile on their face, that’s successful. And they’re smiling. They never cry. When people visit they see happy kids who will snuggle up to you in a minute.” “They just want to love. Together they’re a family. When I was in a home, there was 68 of us and we became like brothers and sisters,” McTaggart said. “They help each other; it’s beautiful. They’re great kids.” McTaggart named his orphanage after his mother Catherine, who was never out of his life even when he and his brother lived in the orphanage — she visited every other Sunday. At age 17, McTaggart signed up for the Marine Corps and served four years before finding success in the corporate world as a financial consultant. He founded Credit Counselors of America Inc. in 1971, as well as the nonprofit Christian Credit Counselors. McTaggart first got the idea to support an orphanage after taking a mission trip with Horizon Christian

Dreyfuss’ acting career includes such classics as “American Graffiti,� “Jaws,� “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,� “The Goodbye Girl,� “Down and Out in Beverly Hills,� “What About Bob?� “Mr. Holland’s Opus,� “Let It Ride,� and many more.

“The Miracle Worker,â€? presented by the Theatre School at North Coast Repertory Theatre, follows the story of American Helen Keller, who lost both her sight and hearing at a very young age. So it’s understandable why making the play accessible to the deaf community is a priority for director Siobhan Sullivan Crews. What might be surprising is that Sullivan Crews is making the show deaf-friendly not only for the benefit of the deaf community, but for her young actors as well. “To me it is very important,â€? she said. “I really want our young actors to have an awareness of the challenges people have and see that they can be proactive in both understanding and action ‌ We want to respect the deaf community in our efforts.â€? The play, based on Keller’s autobiography, follows how she managed to break through her isolation with the help of her teacher, Annie Sullivan, who shows her how to communicate through hand signals. In this production, a character has been added who will act as a storyteller, translating Annie Sullivan’s lines to American Sign Language for the audience. Three of the cast members are fluent in ASL, and the rest of the cast is learning basic ASL with the help of expert Sara Ahlquist.

101 Turkey Trot and Food Drive take steps to feed others on Thanksgiving Day
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Everyone is invited to “take a bite out of hunger� by participating in the inaugural “Encinitas 101 Turkey Trot and Food Drive� on Thursday, Nov. 27, Thanksgiving Day morning. There will be two races, a 5K and 10K; runners and walkers of all ages may participate and are encouraged to wear costumes. There will $350, $200 and $100 cash awards for first, second and third place, respectively, for costumes that represent the spirit of Thanksgiving. The course starts at the Encinitas sign on Highway 101 with a check-in time of 7 a.m. The route is along the Highway 101 Coast Road. Families are encouraged to join in, and babies in strollers are welcome. A generous portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the North County Community Services Food Bank, a nonprofit assisting needy families throughout North County. Registered participants may pick up bibs and race T-shirts from 1-7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 24 and 25, at Roadrunner Sports in Carlsbad. To register, see the route and divisions for both races and to read FAQs, visit http://encinitas101turkeytrot.com Visit sdnccs.org to find out more about NCCS.
Both the ASL instruction and learning about Keller’s life provide a learning opportunity for students. “She is an amazing role model for our students — she lived with integrity, strength and conviction,� said Sullivan Crews. “I am inspired by Helen Keller and have been for as long as I can remember,� she added. “She was such a strong woman who not only conquered what others viewed as disabilities, but embraced those challenges to change the world for the better. She is so much more than what we discover in ‘The Miracle Worker.’ She was a strong proponent of women’s voting rights and helped found the ACLU. She was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and has been inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.� “The Miracle Worker� opens Nov. 20. Performances are 5 p.m. Nov. 20, Nov. 22 and Nov. 23, 7 p.m. Nov. 21, and 2 p.m. Nov. 22 and Nov. 23. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach.

MOLA is a ‘cool’ eatery in the Del Mar Plaza.
Cocktails, tapas and more at new MOLA in Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON ts name might be Spanish, but MOLA Gastro Bar has international flavor. MOLA — which translates to “cool” or “hip” — is a low-key eatery in the Del Mar Plaza that specializes in high-end, ethnic bites and drinks. Patrons love to lounge on the patio and enjoy a drink while watching the sunset, nibbling on bites or indulging in an entree. And the background tunes vary with the crowd’s mood — everything from ’80s hits to house music. The restaurant takes pride in its handcrafted cocktails and all of the servers double as bartenders. The most popular choice is the deceptively strong Mescal Mule, composed of ginger beer, lemon juice and passion fruit mix with a hint of agave nectar, plus a garnish of grated lemon. Another that has a creative spin is the lightly frothy Farmers Martini, a red winebased libation with orange liqueur, pineapple, lemon juice and egg white. It’s decorated with a triangle of manchego cheese and a fig. The sweet, Drunken Dragon’s Milk is a blend of coconut puree, lime juice and green-tea vodka on the rocks, with a basil leaf resting on top.

MOLA’s specialty drink, South Side Rickey Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants There are wines as well — many from Spain, but also selections from vintner powerhouses in California, New Zealand, France and Argentina. As for the cuisine, Executive Chef Erick Mendoza shows off a wide range of foods that showcase everything from Greek and Asian to Mediterranean and American influences. One of his “go-to” tapas is the dainty Lobster Croquettes — bread-crumbed fried rolls that are creamy inside, accented with
dabs of spicy aioli and drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Others include crowd pleasers such as the Mini Sliders (Margherita, Smoked House BBQ or Diablito); and Fried Zucchini Blossoms with goat cheese, serrano ham, cream cheese and piquillo sauce. MOLA has several flatbreads, and one that will spice up a visit is the Diablito. The heat creeps up on one’s tastebuds as you bite into the thin, crispy crust that’s topped with seared Saku tuna, avocado scallions, red onions and chipotle aioli. Among the full-sized salads is the Kung Fu Salad, tossed with sesame seed-crusted tuna, red onion, red and green bell peppers, sesame oil and yuzu. While the menu is dominated by bites and “fillers,” there are several, larger entrees of note. One of Mendoza’s favorites is the Hatori Hanzo Fish, prepared with Chilean sea bass. It’s on a bed of Asian-style angel hair noodles with sesame seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, soy and yuzu reduction sauce. A suggested wine pair is the Hazaña Tempranillo served chilled. There are several desserts on hand, which come from MOLA’s sister restaurant around the corner, El Agave: Flan, Chocolate Creme Brûlée, and Tres Leches with milky layers of soaked sponge cake and strawberry pieces.

Friends of the Poor brew support for charity with Friendship Teas BY JEANNE FERRIS A fundraiser called the Friendship Tea for the Friends of the Poor was recently held at the Rancho Valencia Resort in Rancho Santa Fe on a hot, muggy day. Servers offered tall glasses of crystal clear ice water in greeting to each person who came down the stairs to the elegant ballroom. In Nigeria, African women will walk barefoot for eight miles, three times a day, for a pitcher of cloudy water to serve their families. The weather here may be the only similarity to Nigeria. However, through FOTP, the commitment to faith and education are the ties that bind Americans to Africans across the Atlantic Ocean. The only Nigerian and man present at the Friendship Tea was Father Lawrence. An attorney and a priest, he lives at the Catholic Diocese in Nigeria. “When I first came to America, everyone was preparing for Thanksgiving Day,” he said. “I was astonished to learn it was only
Jean Colarusso, Father Lawrence, Marcella Johnson and Allison Quattrocchi. on one day out of the year. In Africa, every day is Thanksgiving Day. But I was even more confused when I heard about Black Friday. I thought it was a holiday for black people. So I went to Fashion Valley mall to celebrate.” His wit and joy lit the room with laughter and his benediction included a blessing of gratitude for America. In 1982, Dr. Anita Figueredo co-founded Friends of the Poor as a nonprofit with Jean Colarusso and Mary Rupp. Since then, it has ministered to the poorest of the poor in the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala and now, Nigeria. FOTP is unique in that 95 percent of its donations go directly to its projects. “There is no overhead and all directors work without pay,” said Jean Colarusso, president of FOTP. “I buy stamps out of my own pocket to save on administrative costs. The five percent (used for administrative costs) goes to the accountant who keeps us honest.”
A La Jolla resident since 1973, Colarusso has inspired a core group of volunteers who also happen to be childhood friends and who also step up to chair the luncheon each year. Marcella Johnson inherited so many tea sets from her mother-in-law; she hosted the first two labor-intensive High Tea fundraisers in her backyard. Today, only her teapots are used — filled with colorful wildflowers — and the venue is underwritten. “Mrs. C is my inspiration! She leads me to the flame — people who need our help, no matter what continent they live in,” said Cynthia Walsh, a veteran volunteer. “Of course, our long history makes it all the more precious.” Colarusso is a petite and soft-spoken octogenarian, a former lab technician who has raised three children. “She was the best mom,” said Mary Ann Stieber, Colarusso’s only daughter. “We were always her priority.” When Colarusso
speaks, you find yourself leaning in. She is a quiet dynamo of determination who has seen the completion of seven sustainable, productive projects that house both Christians and Muslims, with five more projects in process. A brave and remarkable feat in Africa’s turbulent political climate. In fact, neighboring Muslims and the Diocese both donated the land needed. All of the boarding schools have 24-hour guard patrol with 6-feet-high walls around the entire perimeter to protect the women and children. It is a campus of permanent lockdown. This has produced safe, happy and healthy children. All of the teachers are trained in London, then return to FOTP to teach. This success has earned Colarusso her moniker as “Mama” Africa. To date, funds are needed for the completion of: The Village of Mary Haven, a self-sustaining complex for orphans who otherwise would be sold into slavery; Stella Maris Acade-
my (K-6th); a trade school/ job training center; a stateof-the-art science center; and The Marriott Daughters’ Day Care Center. Most recently, FOTP received a check from the Vatican for $15,000 for Mary Haven —written on an account from Argentina, Pope Francis’ homeland. Also needing funds are The Mother of Mercy HIV Clinic and Hospital (of the more than 500 births in their specialized HIV birthing room, not a single mother or newborn has been lost), Clean Water Projects, Home Health Care Services, Holy Family Orphanage (the orphans here are cared for by widows in need of work), Teen Center and the William Kupiec Academy for Girls (first graduating class is in 2015 and the future leaders of Nigeria).

Grauer School hosts open house Nov. 15 The Grauer School will host an Open House for prospective families from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, on its Encinitas campus. Tours will be conducted every 20 minutes and interested families are encouraged to tour the facilities and meet with faculty, administration, matriculated students, and current Grauer families. “This year, we are continuing to offer an online registration option on our website that allows families to simply check in and queue up for a tour rather than having to wait in line to register the day of the event,” said Sandy Merten, Associate Director of Admissions. “At the Open House, visitors will be guided through the campus by Grauer students and will be introduced to faculty, who will explain our academic and extra-curricular programs, including all-seasons athletics, performing arts, robotics, film, leadership, and community service. Our programs attract families who are looking to balance academic rigor with the personal development of each individual student. We also offer outstanding support for independent athletes who need a customized schedule.” The Grauer School, grades 7-12 college preparatory, is the regional leader in the small schools movement. The Grauer School focuses on college preparatory rigor balanced with expeditionary learning and Socratic teaching. As a small school by design, with approximately 150 students, The Grauer School emphasizes relationship-based teaching that stems from its small class sizes with a student-to-teacher ratio of 7 to 1. Admissions applications are due Jan. 30. To learn more about Admissions Timeline and The Grauer School experience, visit www.grauerschool.com or call 760-274-2116. The Grauer School is enrolling grades 7-12 for the 2014-2015 academic year.

CCA Envision Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cast joins discussion at LUX Art Institute
Options students with their peer mentors at Cathedral Catholic High School.
Options Peer Mentor program ensures that all are part of Cathedral Catholic family The first Catholic high school in California to host students with intellectual disabilities, Cathedral Catholic High School begins its Options Program with a promising start. With the help of nearly 40 Cathedral Catholic student Peer Mentors, the Options students receive constant attention, integration, and interaction within the CCHS community. These mentors, who encompass the skills necessary to act as tutors, friends, and ambassadors, are chosen through a rigorous application process involving essays, teacher recommendations, and an interview. The students, who were chosen from a pool of around 75 applicants, exhibit leadership skills, respectfulness, attentiveness, and compassion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; qualities necessary to make the experience valuable and rewarding for students entering the inclusion program. Through the program, the Options students are able to thoroughly participate in a faith-filled learning environment otherwise unavailable to them. Taking a range of classes from Earth Science to Catholic Faith 9, the Options students engage actively in the core academic life of their peers. Beyond the classroom, they are able to experience extracurricular activities and social opportunities around campus, such as lunchtime festivities, clubs, and ASB events. When asked about his first week at Cathedral, one Options student responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awesome. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a whole lot of new friends, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met a lot of nice teachers, everyone has been very nice to me ... I feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my home now.â&#x20AC;? While affecting the Options students, the program also inspires the entire Cathedral Catholic community through its lessons of awareness and acceptance. The Options Program aligns perfectly with the mission of Christ by creating opportunities that exemplify Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and appreciation for all. As the program grows over the coming years, Options students will continue to embody what it means to attend Cathedral Catholic High School, and, alongside their peers, they will be Dons for life.

Varicose Veins and Pregnancy With all the changes that a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body goes through during pregnancy, varicose veins might seem like just one more in a long list of sacriďŹ ces. But understanding the cause of these veins and what you can do to prevent or minimize them, can go a long way in alleviating the pain and discomfort they cause. Causes Varicose veins are swollen veins that may bulge near the surface of the skin and are most likely to show up in your legs, although it is possible
for them to appear elsewhere. They may make your legs feel heavy, achy, and the nearby skin may itch, throb, or burn. While varicose veins are already more common among women than men, family history plays a role as well as pregnancy. In fact, they can become more common with each successive pregnancy and as you get older. Being overweight, carrying twins, and standing for long periods can also make you more susceptible. Veins are blood vessels that return blood from your extremities to your heart, so the blood in your leg veins are already working against gravity. When you are pregnant, the amount of blood in your body increases, adding to the burden on your veins. And while varicose veins tend to improve after pregnancy, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to suffer from their discomfort for nine months. There are

measures you can take that will minimize or possibly prevent them from occurring altogether. Prevention s %XERCISE DAILY %VEN GOING FOR A WALK AROUND the block will help your circulation. s !VOID EXCESS WEIGHT GAIN 7HILE GAINING weight is healthy during a pregnancy, try to stay within the recommended weight range for your stage of pregnancy. s %LEVATE YOUR FEET 7HEN YOU RE SITTING USE a box or stool to rest your legs, and keep your feet elevated with a pillow when you are lying down. s4AKE BREAKS )F YOU HAVE TO SIT OR STAND FOR LONG periods of time, be sure to take regular breaks and move around. s 3LEEP ON YOUR LEFT SIDE 7EDGE A PILLOW behind your back to keep yourself titled to the left and elevate your feet with a pillow. Lying
on your left side relieves the inferior vena cava vein, which is on your right side, of the weight of the uterus. s 7EAR SPECIAL SUPPORT HOSE #OMPRESSION SOCKS are twice as thick as pantyhose. The graduated compression socks are even better as they are tight at the ankle and get looser as they go up the leg. This makes it easier for blood to ďŹ&#x201A;ow back up toward your heart. As I discussed in last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, varicose veins are not merely a cosmetic issue. They can be painful and can pose a danger to your health. With all the other discomforts that may come with pregnancy, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to add one more to the list if there are things you can do about it. If you want to discuss further vein treatment or make an appointment, please contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

Sage advice for seamless Thanksgiving preparation The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As the holiday season approaches, folks are gearing up for a stress- and faux pasfree Thanksgiving feasts. Thanks for sharing your dilemmas and allowing me to help you solve them. 1. I am having some guests for Thanksgiving dinner who are on a glutenfree diet. Help! Gluten is the protein found in certain grains and their hybrids including wheat, rye and barley.Like its namesake, gluten is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;glue-likeâ&#x20AC;? substance that gives bread and pasta its wonderful chewy texture,
and provides a load of nutrients. But for those suffering from either Celiac Disease or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;non-Celiac gluten sensitivityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gluten is the enemy. So for your special guests avoid ingredients containing wheat or gluten, which can be tricky as these can be disguised under other names like durum, semolina, spelt and triticale (a wheat hybrid). Gluten also hides in sauces like soy and Worcestershire, baked goods, processed meats and other foods and drinks, including beer. And while corn and rice contain a gluten derivative, it is not toxic to Celiacs who can also safely eat potatoes, buckwheat and quinoa. So while bread stuffing is taboo, simply swap it out for roasted quinoa, wild rice, mashed potato or oyster stuffings. When whipping up the green bean casserole, avoid the breaded onion strings, along with breadcrumb toppings for casseroles and sides. For salads, no croutons or malt vinegar dressings. Also, avoid Worcestershire sauce for basting your bird, and for dessert, bake
crustless pies or flourless crusts made from almond meal or rice flour. Standing advice: Read labels carefully. 2. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of traditional heavy Thanksgiving meals with massive familystyle platters and dishes. Are there any trendy culinary concepts that would be fun, light and tasty? Serving assorted appetizers from bruschetta and flat breads to hummus and raw veggies will take the edge off of the appetite monster, and transform the food orgy into a more balanced and sociable meal. Prepare individual dishes like edible sugar pie pumpkin ramekins filled with seasonal soups, Cornish hens stuffed with quinoa, pomegranate seeds and toasted almonds, and for dessert, something light and festive like personal pie bars or pumpkin crème brulee parfaits. 3. Do I need to be leery of any sneaky ingredients when preparing side dishes for my vegan and vegetarian guests? The likely offender would be marshmallows that are traditionally used as
a topping for sweet potato casseroles. As the gooey confection is typically made from gelatin, a byproduct of bovine hooves and ligaments, best to either replace it with candied pecans, or use a vegan version made from a sea treasure called â&#x20AC;&#x153;agar agar.â&#x20AC;? 4. Is there anything I can serve to counter the coma effect of the Thanksgiving feast? Although turkey contains a notorious amino acid called tryptophan that tinkers with the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wiring and has been blamed for Thanksgiving naps, it is not the lone culprit. An overdose of carbohydrates, including mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams and assorted pies wallops the endocrine system which leaves a high concentration of the amino acid in the bloodstream, that converts to serotonin and induces sleepiness. Plus the gorging itself puts a strain on the digestive system, causing fatigue. So eat moderately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stuff yourself like the Thanksgiving bird. In addition, amp up well-known fatigue fighters

continued from page 1 impacted and cried uncontrollably as he hugged Gail who taught him to walk on crutches,â&#x20AC;? Platovsky said, adding that the students plan to visit again in December. Little Alex and Jose, whose mother used crystal meth while she was pregnant, were both born with deformed noses. Only 1 year old, Alex had surgery to open up his nose, which makes it easier to breathe. He also has heart problems. While McTaggart said both children have a long way to go, Jose was one of three Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kids who went to public school for the first time last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All three kids were thrilled, but Briana was a true revelation. She loves the school, was not shy and was immediate friends with everyone,â&#x20AC;? said Platovsky of Briana, who was born with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camila, a 3-year-old whose parents abandoned her in the hospital after she got sick. It is difficult for her to use one side of her body, but McTaggart said she is full of life: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is the sweetest little girl you ever saw.â&#x20AC;? McTaggart said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge the decisions families down there must make to leave their children, like Camila. He said some families are trying to care for
like iron, potassium and B-vitamin loaded spinach, omega-3 fatty walnuts, mighty magnesium pumpkin seeds, hydrating watermelon, probiotic yoghurt, and blissful polyphenol-rich dark chocolate with cocoa content over 70 percent. Finish the meal with a caffeine and l-theanine zing from a steaming cup of green tea, (but avoid chamomile which is very soothing and soporific). Alas, cane sugar is one of the most energy-depleting foods on the planet, so cut back or use a healthy sugar substitute in your desserts.

a special-needs child while making $1.25 an hour in minimum wage or living in extremely poor conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People used to ask me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you hate your mother for abandoning you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I told them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can you imagine how must it much have hurt to put me in there, because she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? McTaggart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no blame; it gets you nowhere. The kids need help. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter why theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there.â&#x20AC;? Some families, like McTaggartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, remain present in the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. Ana Karenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother, who struggled to take care of her grandchild with severe cerebral palsy, visits whenever she can. McTaggart keeps tabs on his kids constantly. He has remote cameras linked to his phone so he can always check in, and he visits the orphanage every week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he laughs when he tells how the kids call out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jerry! Jerry! Monica!â&#x20AC;? when he comes with his wife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just love us. Of course my wife wants to bring them all home,â&#x20AC;? he said. McTaggart encourages people to visit the orphanage and love them; he has never forgotten the visits he received when he was a kid. Platovsky can help organize service trips and visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who visits Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Rosarito leaves completely changed,â&#x20AC;? Platovsky said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something happening here that cannot be put in words â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it needs to be experienced. Everyone that visits agrees.â&#x20AC;? McTaggart said the experi-
ence can be especially affecting to teenagers, who may forget their daily worries when they see a child who is unable to stand on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get such an appreciation of what we take for granted, when you see what these little kids have to do just to get up in the morning,â&#x20AC;? McTaggart said. The orphanage has 11 children right now, but McTaggart said it could get four more children this year. While the average child costs about $200 a month to care for, the medically fragile children at Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s require about $2,000 a month. McTaggart has been taking on about 90 percent of the expenses, but he is looking for more people to get involved. The nonprofit recently held a fundraiser at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. There is so much need, he said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hundreds of kids need care like Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provides, and he would love to see more children given a chance to thrive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we need is sustainability. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to live forever, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to have this income forever,â&#x20AC;? said McTaggart, now 73. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want me to do it all. When you meet them youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hooked. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with them â&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no teasing, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing this, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing everything.â&#x20AC;?
