BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the issue is already headed to the ballot, the Solana Beach City Council on Nov. 20 discussed a report on the Fletcher Cove Community Center initiative council members requested weeks earlier. During the Oct. 9 meeting, the council decided to explore its options and ordered a report rather than adopt a citizen’s initiative for a use policy or spend about $200,000 on a special election. The council received the report at its Nov. 6 special meeting, when council members also unanimously voted to call a special election for Feb. 11, 2014, allowing voters to have their say on a use policy for the facility. The report, which was prepared by attorneys Helen Holmes Peak and Inga Lintvedt, analyzed potential impacts the proposed initiative could have on the city. “Based on the documents and analysis included in this report, there are not expected to be adverse impacts to the city’s general and specific plans, zoning, land use, housing, funding for infrastructure, schools, parks, traffic, parking, open space, business retention and employment, vacant parcels, agriculture, business districts, or areas designated for revitalization,” the report states. Solana Beach resident Mary Jane Boyd — who backed the initiative along with former Solana Beach Mayor Thomas Golich and resident James Nelson — questioned why the council chose to discuss the report weeks after its vote.

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) will see $171,165 in the 2013-14 school year from the passage of Prop 39, the Clean Energy Jobs Act. The act, which was approved by voters in November 2012, provides $381 million to kindergarten through sixth grade public schools, county offices of education and charter schools this school year for energy-efficient projects and job creation. The funding will be available for five years, but it is not known how much the district will receive from year to year. The allocation is based on average daily attendance and the number of students eligible for the free and reduced lunch program. See BENEFITS, Page 8

Del Mar Union School District to hold Facilities Master Plan meetings in December

Del Mar school district board postpones funding decision for surveillance cameras

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is about twothirds of the way through the process of preparing its Facilities Master Plan, expected to be presented to the board on Jan. 22, 2014. According to Andrea Sullivan of the Dolinka Group, one of the district’s master plan facilitators, a top priority has been community feedback. The district’s outreach group has so far had three meetings and will have a fourth on Tuesday, Dec. 17. A town hall meeting was also held on Nov. 6, attended by 43 people and generating eight written comments. The master plan looks at ways to modernize and improve school sites as well as options to address enrollment needs, such as moving

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board held off for now on approving $13,000 in consulting fees for Networld Solutions, a company that specializes in video surveillance to help with the district’s campus theft problems. The item was up for approval at the district’s Nov. 20 meeting, but the board opted to wait until more of its questions on the issue were resolved. Del Mar Union School Board President Doug Rafner was concerned that the cost of consulting was already at $13,000 and once they purchased the equipment, costs could be at $100,000 quickly.

the Child Development Center and pre-school from Sycamore Ridge to Ashley Falls, and making new development in East Pacific Highlands Ranch part of the Ashley Falls attendance boundary. On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the district will host town hall meetings at Sycamore Ridge, Ashley Falls and Torrey Hills, three schools most impacted by the options to address enrollment and capacity needs. The meetings will be held at 8:15 a.m. at Sycamore Ridge, 10 a.m. at Ashley Falls, and 1 p.m. at Torrey Hills. At the Dec. 17 outreach group meeting, group members will be looking at plans for individual school sites and prioritizing their wants and needs for school improvements. The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. at Del Mar Hills Academy.

“The level of security doesn’t have to approximate that of Fort Knox,” Rafner said. “As much as we don’t want to see break-ins, I don’t know that this is going to prevent them from happening.” Since July, break-ins have occurred seven times in the Del Mar school district, resulting in the thefts of computers and damage to campus buildings. Most of the incidents have occurred between 1 and 4 a.m., and campuses such as Del Mar Heights, Ocean Air and Sage Canyon have been victimized as well as the district office.

Del Mar Union School District searching Del Mar City Council to hold Dec. 2 civic facilities planning workshop for new Torrey Hills principal BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Hills School Principal Barbara Boone is leaving the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) after being selected as the new director of curriculum and instruction for the San Diego County Office of Education. “Mrs. Boone has been a treasured principal at Torrey Hills School and we will miss her greatly in our district,” said DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg in a letter to the community. “The district is committed to finding another wonderful principal to lead Torrey Hills.” The district is undergoing the selection process for finding a new principal and McClurg said she hopes to bring a candidate before the school board at its Dec. 18 meeting. Boone will remain in place until the new principal is hired. “We want to make sure we get the very best possible person,” said McClurg. A community meeting will be held on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Torrey Hills to gather input on the new principal. Community members may also give input through a survey posted on the Torrey Hills School website: www.dmusd.org/torrey.

Torrey Hills planning board to take lead on greenbelt project BY KAREN BILLING After six years of being funded and more than three years after it was designed, the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board’s greenbelt project actually has a potential starting date. The board voted unanimously at its Nov. 20 meeting to enter into a reimbursement agreement with the city of San Diego that allows the Torrey Hills Master Association to privately design, bid and construct its greenbelt project, shaving off about 488 days from the timeline should it be left to the city to complete. Torrey Hills taking the lead means a start date of October 2014 rather than a city’s projected start date of September 2015. This option would also save at least $132,000 of the city’s $441,000 budget. The simple greenbelt project improves a 200-foot SDG&E easement under the power pole and lines at the crest of East Ocean Air Drive. The proposed greenbelt faces a row of houses and is edged by the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. The open space will be refreshed with native plants, stacked native boulders, and a decomposed granite trail will wind through the property and link users to canyon trails across the street. A trellis area is planned where people can sit and look out over the canyon. As $425,000 in funds has been contributed to the city for the project from private donations and Torrey Hills Maintenance Assessment District money since 2007, the $132,000 saved will be able to be applied to other unfunded community improvements.

The Del Mar City Council will hold a workshop on Monday, Dec. 2, from 6 - 8:15 p.m. in City Council Chambers to discuss the planning of civic facilities. The workshop will convey the results of the Civic Facilities Planning effort to date and hear from the community on the options and choices for city hall. Roundtable discussions will examine what facilities should be part of a civic center; where should it be located; how should it be financed; and how should it be implemented. Residents are invited to come and provide input on what they’d like and what is a concern, as well as any options preferred. Additional information can be found at http://www.delmar.ca.us/News/Pages/CityHallFacilitiesPlanning.aspx For more information, contact Joseph Smith at jsmith@delmar.ca.us or (858) 755-9313.

Work to begin soon on Sorrento Valley double track rail improvement project BY KAREN BILLING By the beginning of the year work is expected to begin on the Sorrento Valley double track rail improvement project. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is working with North County Transit District (NCTD) and the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) on the double track project that will improve reliability, modernize aging wooden bridges and remove a bottleneck on a vital link of railway for passenger and freight movement. According to SANDAG, coastal rail corridor is the second-busiest inner-city passenger rail line in the U.S. and the only viable freight train link between San Diego and the rest of the nation. William Prey, SANDAG corridor director, said the regional goal is to double track 97 percent of the corridor from Orange County to downtown San Diego by 2050. Prey said double tracking in the corridor is about 54 percent complete and 73 percent of projects are funded through construction. An open house was held on Nov. 19 at Torrey Hills Elementary School for the $33.7 million project that is expected to be complete in mid-2015. According to Leslie Wade, senior public outreach officer for SANDAG, currently about 50 trains a day come through the Sorrento Valley station and, since they cannot pass each other on the single track, occasionally having to stop. The slowest section of the rail line is Sorrento to Miramar, going up the hill. That section of double track is almost complete and should be done in the spring. The Sorrento Valley double track project will add 1.1 miles of second mainline track from the Sorrento Valley transit station

heading north. In addition to the double track, a new 83-space parking lot on the south side of the station across Sorrento Valley Boulevard will bring the total number of spaces for transit riders to 192. The new parking lot will be constructed first to make sure there is no loss of parking for rail users, Wade said. “It will be a lot more parking for the station. We were really careful to make sure that businesses that have shuttles that pick up employees from that location will be protected,” Wade said Portions of the existing track will be raised as much as 5 feet to get it above the 50-year flood level and two wooden trestle bridges built in the 1940s will be replaced. Modernizing and raising the bridges out of the flood plain will help avoid a flooding emergency that occurred in December 2010, when the rail tracks were submerged for over a week. The floods cost over $1 million in damages, passenger movements stopped and it shut down goods movement. “To elevate the tracks 5 feet at the highest point ensures we protect passenger and freight movement and significantly reduces the likelihood of flooding from a minimum of 25-year level to 50 years,” said Mark Seits, a water resource program manager for HDR Engineering. “Basically we’re doubling our protection by modernizing to withstand flood events.” Wade said the biggest concerns people have with the Sorrento Valley double tracking is the flood issue. SANDAG has been in discussion with the various commercial business owners in the area and had a lot of conversations about the maintenance of the floodway. It has presented challenges but Wade

A NCTD Coaster passes over an aging wooden trestle bridge that will be replaced in an upcoming double track project. Courtesy photo said the project’s plan meets both the city and Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) regulatory limits. The plan is to install a new drainage channel on the east side of the track to improve drainage from urban runoff and weather events. An embankment protection system will be installed along the west side of the track, adjacent to Los Penasquitos Creek. Construction will start in 2014 on the Los Penasquitos Lagoon Bridges replacement project, replacing the four wooden single-track trestle bridges with modern concrete structures. The bridges were built between 1911 and 1940 and currently require a lot of maintenance, making replacement the most cost-effective solution. Wade said there have been some questions about the Los Penasquitos bridges but they are not double tracking in the lagoon. The 100-year-old single-track rail bridges will be replaced with concrete single-track bridges. Looking to the future, SANDAG and Caltrans have prepared a Public Works Plan (PWP) that creates a comprehensive strategy for their North Coast Corridor Program, which includes the Interstate 5 express lane project, rail and tran-

sit improvements, and coastal access improvements. The $6.5 billion in improvements breaks down into about $4 billion in highway improvements, $2.3 million in railway improvement, and about $200 million in environmental, bike and pedestrian solutions, including 23 miles of bike trail, protecting 170 acres of coastal and lagoon habitats. “SANDAG and Caltrans are working to make sure it’s not just freeway,” Prey said. “It’s never been done this way, this large-scale effort. It’s precedent-setting in that regard, looking at all types of transportation improvements that are needed in the corridor.” The PWP has been 10 years in the making already and is expected to go before the Coastal Commission in June or August 2014. The final I-5 express lanes EIR (environmental impact report) was released last month and the plan is to begin construction on the high occupancy vehicle lane extension from Manchester Avenue to SR-78 in mid-2015.

CV resident Megan Spector sings National Anthem at ALS Basketball Classic Carmel Valley resident Megan Spector sang the National Anthem at the Nov. 21 University of San Diego men’s basketball team game against San Diego Christian College in the first annual ALS Basketball Classic at Jenny Craig Pavilion to raise awareness of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). The event is also held to give hope to the brave San Diegans who are fighting Lou Gehrig’s disease. Megan sang in honor of her aunt, Marjie Block, and all those faced with ALS. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. There is no cure, and only one drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration modestly extends survival. For unknown reasons, veterans are twice as likely to develop and die from ALS as the rest of the population. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes ALS as a service-connected dis-

Local residents bring Freedom Bell to Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day BY KRISTINA HOUCK From retired military members to loved ones of those who were lost, about 3,000 Arlington National Cemetery visitors rang the Freedom Bell as they entered the military burial ground on Veterans Day. “Some were ringing the bell out of happiness and commemoration, others were so down, distraught and despondent, they were remembering tragedies when ringing the bell,” said Rancho Santa Fe resident Gary Bobileff. The nearly 300-pound Liberty Bell replica was cast on June 6, D-Day, incorporating steel remnants from the World Trade Center towers. The exterior of the bell displays the seal of all five branches of the U.S. military — the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. The base of the bell is embossed with 50 stars, one for every state. “The whole purpose of the bell is to commemorate and remember all our military — past, present and future,” Bobileff said. “That’s inscribed toward the base of the bell.” Rancho Santa Fe resident Richard Rovsek came up with the concept for the bell, drawing it on a paper napkin last May. Rovsek, a former member of President Ronald Reagan’s staff, is the founder of the Spirit of Liberty Foundation, which supports men and women in the Armed Forces with an emphasis on wounded warriors and fallen heroes. Through the nonprofit organization, Rovsek and his friend Bobileff have visited troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and held events at the Walter Reed Medical Center. This year, the pair traveled the country, displaying the bell. The Freedom Bell debuted on Flag Day, June 14, at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. In July, it was displayed on top of the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier in San Diego, where bell ringers could get a certificate recognizing, “I rang the Freedom Bell.” The bell also appeared at the 12th anniversary of 9/11 in New York. “Every person has a different reason to ring the bell,” said Bobileff, who owns a Ferrari and Lamborghini sales, service and restoration dealership in San Diego. “Seeing people from all different walks of life with all different meanings for ringing the bell is amazing.” On Nov. 8, the bell appeared on Fox News. The New York Fire Department transported the bell to the studios. From there, the bell was transferred to the USS Olympia in Philadelphia for a ceremony on Nov. 9. It was then trans-

ferred to Valley Forge National Historical Park for a ceremony on Nov. 10, before it was transferred to Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day. “It was the first time in history that anything other than wreathes or flowers was allowed inside the gates of Arlington National Cemetery,” Bobileff said. “It was well received by the people in Arlington and the officials that were there.” Rovsek was asked to bring the bell back to Arlington next Veterans Day, Bobileff said. For now, the bell’s next stop is the USS Arizona Memorial in Honolulu to honor the victims of the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Day. “These guys are heroes. They laid their lives down for me,” Bobileff said. “I’m totally appreciative.” To learn more about the Spirit of Liberty Foundation visit, spiritoflibertyfoundation.com.

Poems help heal author and others after loss of a spouse BY LINDA HUTCHISON When you’ve spent your life helping others, how do you help yourself when life delivers one of its worst blows, the death of a long-term, beloved spouse? If you’re local author, business consultant and social worker Dr. Natasha Josefowitz, you write a book that is very different from your previous 19. “This is my first sad book,” said Josefowitz. “I had no choice but to write it.” After her husband of 35 years, Dr. Herman Gaden, died four years ago, Josefowitz turned to writing poetry to express her intense feelings of grief. An active 87-year-old, she is often out in the world, but said that after the death of her husband, she felt alienated despite her best intentions to put on a smiling face wherever she went. “So I came home and wrote, with no thought to anyone else,” she said. “I had no idea how it would help me with my journey.” The result is a collection of almost 100 poems, “Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without: Hope and Healing after Loss.” The books is available online through Amazon.com and locally at Warwick’s. It is receiving positive responses from reviewers and those who counsel grieving people, including mental health professionals, ministers and rabbis. For Josefowitz, her 20th book is a departure from her usual subject matter. She has written many humorous books of poetry for different groups of people (family, friends, lovers) at different stages of life (mid-life, retirement, aging). A well-known business consultant and social worker, she has also written several books for women in management, including “How to Be An Effective Leader,” “You’re the Boss,” “Paths to Power,” and “16 Ways for Women to Succeed at Work.” Josefowitz describes herself as a late bloomer. Born in Paris, France to Russian Jewish parents, she came through Ellis Island in 1939 with them and grew up in Beverly Hills,

Natasha Josefowitz with her late husband, Herman Gadon. where she’s in the Beverly Hills High School Hall of Fame. She earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Scripps College in Claremont, California, married and had two children. Not until she was 40 did she go back to college (Columbia) to earn a master’s degree in clinical social work and then a doctorate in social psychology at the age of 50, while living in Switzerland. It was there she met, began working with and eventually married Swiss-born Dr. Herman Gadon. Together they taught classes in business management, moving to New Hampshire, where Josefowitz taught the first class for women in management in the United States. They continued teaching after moving to La Jolla, Gadon at UCSD and Josefowitz at SDSU. A popular speaker and business consultant, Josefowitz appeared on TV shows, including “Larry King Live” and “All Things Considered,” and hosted her own radio show. Today she writes columns for local publications.

Although she wrote her latest book to help herself, she is delighted that it is helping others. “I like to make a difference,” she said. She is also using her social psychology skills to do research into how people grieve after the loss of a spouse. After interviewing 24 survivors, ages 60-90, she says she learned that people go through several steps to healing: First, there is the pre-grief of the caretaker; second is shock and numb-

ness when a partner dies; third is disbelief, “this can’t be real”; fourth comes when reality sets in and there is a feeling of alienation, of walking around like “half a couple”; finally, there is becoming a whole person, reinventing oneself, with being alone the “new normal.” Not surprisingly, she sees a difference in how men and women cope with the loss of a spouse. Men don’t like to talk about it and will tell friends who have lost a wife, “don’t dwell on it.” “Men have a six-percent higher suicide rate, they’ve lost a caregiver, but within a year they are usually hooked up with a casserole,” said Josefowitz. Speaking of food, men alone usually eat takeout with their hands standing up at the kitchen sink. Women, on the other hand, like to talk through grief, and will go over and sit with a friend who has lost a husband. “And women will sit at a table and eat, even if it’s not elaborate,” said Josefowitz.

REPORT continued from page 1 “Why now are you bringing this report up tonight? It seems disingenuous to me since you already made the decision to have a special election,” she said. “I’m just trying to figure out what this all means.” Deputy Mayor Thomas Campbell, who was on the East Coast during the special meeting and participated by phone, said he didn’t have an opportunity to read the report in detail prior to the meeting because it was only made available to the council and the public after 5 p.m. on Nov. 4. Campbell asked City Manager David Ott to add the report to the agenda so he could share his concerns. Campbell said he believed the report didn’t consider a number of issues, and his colleagues agreed. These include the lack of information and analysis on the city’s fiscal, land use,

parking and other issues. The report also didn’t mention that, if adopted, the initiative could only be modified by a public vote. “If the council were to choose to adopt or if the voters choose to approve, once that is done, there’s no remedy that can be taken by the City Council or the city, without further elections to change it,” Mayor Mike Nichols said. In a 5-0 vote, the council directed City Attorney Johanna Canlas to draft a letter to the authors of the report, outlining their concerns. “I feel like this is an opportunity to provide some education to everyone, in terms of what could be considered, in my opinion, inaccurate or undisclosed information,” Nichols said. “That’s our job — to give our opinions. This is no different than any of those other times.”

Santa Fe Irrigation District talks to neighbors about consolidation BY JOE TASH One neighboring water district has no interest in merging with the Santa Fe Irrigation District, while another is open to the possibility. The issue came to the fore earlier this year, when the Santa Fe board held a workshop meeting to discuss the possibility of consolidation with its neighbors to save money. Santa Fe directors decided at their September workshop to reach out to two nearby water districts to gauge their interest. Now, the first response is back, following a Nov. 5 meeting between representatives of Santa Fe and the San Dieguito Municipal Water

District, and a second meeting is set for next month. Santa Fe board president Michael Hogan reported on the discussions at the Santa Fe board’s monthly meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21. The gist of the position taken by two San Dieguito board members was that they are not interested in a full merger at this time, but would consider proposals for additional collaborations or partnerships between the two districts, said Hogan. “The emphasis was to build on small successes,” Hogan said. “I think the outcome of the meeting was very productive.” San Dieguito is a subsid-

Local psychologist faces potential license revocation BY JOE TASH A prominent Rancho Santa Fe psychologist, who has appeared as a mental health expert on television and radio shows and written newspaper columns, faces possible revocation of his license due to alleged misconduct. On Sept. 9, the state Attorney General’s office filed a formal accusation against Dr. Keith D. Kanner on behalf of the California Board of Psychology. The accusation alleges that Kanner engaged in a sexual relationship with the mother of a juvenile patient, and also failed to properly document

his treatment of the patient. Kanner “was grossly negligent in his care and treatment of patient S.H. and in the practice of his profession as a psychologist,” said the accusation, a nine-page document filed by the Attorney General’s office, which is available on the Board of Psychology’s website. Through his attorney, Kanner has requested a hearing to contest the allegations, which is scheduled for October 2014. Until then, Kanner is allowed to continue to practice, said an

iary of the city of Encinitas, and provides water to the western half of the city. San Dieguito and Santa Fe currently share joint ownership and operation of a water treatment plant. According to Bill O’Donnell, San Dieguito’s assistant general manager, his district relies on city staff for such functions as payroll, finance and risk management. “We’d love to hear specific proposals from Santa Fe Irrigation District and we’d definitely consider those proposals for further collaboration,” said O’Donnell. Mark Muir, who sits on both the Encinitas City Council and the San Dieguito board along with his council colleagues, said his district is looking at opportunities for “functional consolidation,” meaning partnerships for certain common functions of the two districts, rather than a merger. If the two districts continue to work together successfully and their relationship progresses, he said, “We could have that conversation” regarding shared governance. For now, he said, he would favor meeting with both Santa Fe and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District jointly to “explore the opportunities” for collaboration. Hogan and director John Ingalls were appointed by the Santa Fe board to an ad hoc committee charged with meeting with neighboring water districts to talk about consolidation. They

are scheduled to meet with Olivenhain representatives on Dec. 18. Olivenhain is open to the full range of potential collaboration, from a merger to partnerships on specific projects, said Kimberly Thorner, the district’s general manager. “I think it’s great, I think my board is excited about the opportunities. My agency is all about partnering and sharing on every different level. When Santa Fe called, it was like, of course we’ll meet. I see this as very positive,” she said. While Olivenhain officials are eager to hear what Santa Fe has to say, they are not going into the meeting with preconceived ideas, said Thorner. “I believe from listening to my board, they are open to all opportunities, the full spectrum, so long as there is an end result that is good for our ratepayers at the end of the day,” Thorner said. The Olivenhain district covers a territory of 48 square miles, including parts of Carlsbad and Encinitas, and extending east as far as 4S Ranch, along with unincorporated communities such as Elfin Forest. Santa Fe provides water to residents of Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. Geographically, the Olivenhain district wraps around Santa Fe’s territory on three sides. “We hug them,” said Thorner. The two districts See NEIGHBORS, page 25

Cathy Birks, the district’s assistant superintendent of business services, said many steps go into the awarding of funding for projects. Some of the steps include the district providing 12 months of electrical and gas usage data by site, maximizing energy efficiency with sequencing of facilities improvements, and looking at cost-effectiveness to see if the benefit of the energy efficiency project is greater than the cost. DMUSD has met with the California Conservation Corps (CCC) and submitted an application for energy

opportunity survey, and has applied to the California Energy Commission’s Bright Schools program, a $20,000 grant for additional assistance. The district has also attended meetings with CleanTech San Diego and SDG&E as they await final approval of Prop 39 implementation guidelines. “They want to see that schools in San Diego are reaping the benefit,” said Birks of the CCC and local groups. Birks noted that the process for getting projects approved is so time consuming that it might make sense to submit one plan for the total five years.

2 a.m. to secure the sites,” Birks said. “By moving forward in taking a look at security and going out to bid, it gives us another layer of security to what we’re doing now.” Trustee Scott Wooden said the cost of the break-ins might not warrant spending the money on surveillance cameras. “This is a lot of money that we can spend on a lot of other things in the district,” Wooden said “Is it overkill?” He pointed out that over the last 10 years there hasn’t been a lot of break-ins and the rash of burglaries over the summer appeared to be a spree that has since ended. Trustee Alan Kholos wondered if there was a way to tap into the parents and experts they have in the district for consulting

DMUSD President Doug Rafner wondered about going solar at DMUSD campuses as it makes fiscal sense with the rise of energy costs, but he said the Prop 39 funds might not make a dent in installing solar at all eight sites. Birks said that in the Prop 39 implementation there is some ability to do solar projects but the energy commission would like to see more energyefficient efforts made first. In meeting with solar companies, Birks said that she doesn’t see it as cost effective to go in that direction right now.

rather than spend the $13,000. He also said while he respects the staff’s work on this issue, he isn’t sure that surveillance is the key to preventing burglaries. “The threshold for me is the need for the overall system,” Kholos said. District Superintendent Holly McClurg said it is up to the board to determine the sense of urgency for the surveillance cameras and the board agreed to table the issue until a future meeting, possibly next year. While the board has paused on the issue of surveillance cameras, Rafner said it should be clear that the district has taken several steps to secure its campuses. “Security is not lacking,” he promised. “It’s tighter than it’s ever been.”

Man who went on freeway shooting spree from Parents invited to hear expert speak on ‘The Realities of National City to Del Mar sentenced Teen Drug Use’ at TPHS Red Ribbon Week event Dec. 11 BY KELLY WHEELER CITY NEWS SERVICE A man who wounded a motorist in a freeway shooting spree two years ago that targeted drivers between National City and Del Mar was sentenced recently to consecutive life terms in prison, plus 54 years to life. Enrique Ayon, 26, was convicted in August of premeditated attempted murder and shooting at an occupied vehicle. In addition, the defendant pleaded guilty in April to punching jail deputies on three separate occasions. Superior Court Judge Joan Weber said she could find no reason to run Ayon’s life sentences concurrently as suggested by defense attorney Zaki Zehawi, which would give the defendant a chance to be paroled someday. Weber told Ayon that the way to ter-

rorize a large metropolitan area like San Diego is to randomly shoot at vehicles, leaving motorists feeling like they’re trapped in their cars, and creating chaos, as he did. ``You shut this city down by your conduct that day,’’ Weber told the defendant. `Ì don’t know what is causing your violent, unprovoked outbursts.’’ Weber said that Ayon `àssaulted everything in sight’’ and has `èxtreme anger issues.’’ Zehawi, in comments echoed by Ayon’s family, said the defendant was a good person until age 22, when things changed, in part, because of drug use. ``His life went off the tracks,’’ Zehawi told the judge. The attorney called the assaults on motorists `òne random and maddening act.’’

Cathedral Catholic High School to open Options Program for students with intellectual disabilities •Application deadline is Dec. 6 Cathedral Catholic High School is preparing for the January opening of the Options Program, a student centered, inclusive education program for students with intellectual disabilities. CCHS has always fostered lifelong learning, while providing the character formation necessary for responsible global citizenship. Cathedral excels in promoting an educational environment based on integrity, respect and trust where students, through the combined efforts of parents and faculty, grow intellectually, socially and spiritually. Building upon this mission, the Options Program supports the belief that students with special needs, like all students, deserve the same opportunity to maximize their academic, social and spiritual potential. Cathedral was one of the first Catholic high schools in the country to recognize the need for Catholic schools to support Catholic students with learning differences resulting in the opening of their Learning Center in 1985. They are now ready to take the next step in their commitment to education. Cathedral Catholic believes that students from a wide range of intellectual abilities will continue to learn and grow when education is provided in a nurturing, individualized, faith-based design. The Options Program will provide students with intellectual disabilities and delays an opportunity to become a part of the Cathedral community where they will be included in some general education classes, extracurricular activities and social events. Students enrolled in the Options Program will become as fully integrated as possible into the total life of the

Canyon Crest Academy places sixth in national math contest Canyon Crest Academy placed sixth in the 2013 Team Scramble, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing. Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major team competition of the academic year, on which students worked furiously as the entire school raced to answer 100 math problems in just 30 minutes. With so many questions and so little time, competitors needed not only strong mathematical skills, but also the ability to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip, as well as how to allocate the test questions among themselves to maximize their school’s score. This year, the top 25 scores ranged from 43 to 81 — out of 100 — and featured a middle school in eighth place. The large team format of Team Scramble allows for the inclusion of interesting, but time-consuming problems that cannot appear in

most other math competitions. Some of this year’s more complicated problems included the maximum possible value of an expression that could be constructed using particular numerals and operations, the expected gain in a unique casino game, and a problem involving the area a horse can graze around a triangular barn. Canyon Crest Academy will participate in National Assessment & Testing’s 2013 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 12 and the 2014 Four-by-Four Competition on Jan. 30.

Del Mar Hills students ‘Dream, Believe and Inspire’ for PTA Reflections competition Del Mar Hills Academy participated in the PTA Reflections competition this fall, in which students created entries in the categories of dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. These entries contained each student’s interpretation of the theme of “Believe, Dream, Inspire.” People were recruited from the community who had the talents and interest necessary to judge the student submissions. The results were on display in the school’s Performing Arts Center in November, along with the judge’s comments, and the efforts of the students were celebrated. The winning entries going on to district competition are:

• Cambree Bigelow (Kindergarten) in Literature •Jasmine Criqui (4th) in Literature •Kat Crosby (5th) in Literature •Noah Hill (Kindergarten) in Photography •Wesley Hill (3rd) in Photography • Jolie Ana Hoyle (6th) in Dance Choreography • Cameron Cooper (4th) in Film • Eli Sanchez (4th) in Film •Marlo Roberts (Kindergarten) in Visual Arts •Lily Spence (5th) in Visual Arts •Sofia Kone (6th) in Visual Arts

Shop local on Small Business Saturday Nov. 30 Forget Black Friday crowds and don’t wait for Cyber Monday — shop local on Small Business Saturday! Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday encourages people to support small businesses and shop local every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving — Nov. 30 this year. To promote the occasion, American Express created the Neighborhood Champions program, working with business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Independent Business Alliance, the U.S. Black Chamber and the Latino Coalition to organize Small Business Saturday events in communities throughout the country. To date, more than 1,000 Neighborhood Champions have united businesses in their municipalities to host local activities leading up to and on the day. Last year independent retailers showcased great deals, incredible customer service and an amazing selection of unique merchandise. This year, neighborhoods are coming together to make the day even bigger. Elected officials in all 50 states and Washington D.C. also championed Small Business Saturday last year – including President Obama, who took his daughters on a shopping trip to an independent bookstore in Arlington, VA. To discover local businesses to support or promote your small business, visit smallbusinesssaturday.com.

Del Mar Foundation fundraising: When giving a little means a lot Executive Director Karen Wilson recently answered questions about the Del Mar Foundation’s fundraising campaign: Q: Why does the Del Mar Foundation need to raise money? A: The Foundation has three main reasons to fundraise: one is so we can continue to provide high-quality events and activities that enhance our community life. Through our activities and events, we try to offer something for everyone and we aim to bring people together; the second is to make grants to other organizations that make our town a better place to live; and the third is to build our endowment to keep going strong in years to come. All three are all in keeping with our mission. Q: What does “my” contribution go towards? A: To a great extent that depends on you. If you wish to support a specific program, you can indicate this when you send in your contribution. If you wish your contribution to go towards sustainability, you can support the endowment. I would like to point out, however, that our programs and activities require significant resources every year. This year, we need to fundraise over $100,000 just to cover just the production costs of our events. Q: I can only give a little, does this even make a difference? A: Absolutely! Every dollar matters and we appreciate any donation amount. I look at it this way: If every family in Del Mar (92014) were to give $25 we’d have enough to cover our program expenses for the year. Q: Can I give to projects or programs that interest me? A: Yes you can. When you send in your donation, you can indicate, for example, whether you’d like to support children’s events, cultural events, overhead (this is often forgotten, but indispensable to running an organization), Twilight Concerts, or special projects such as the recently completed Del Mar Library Mosaic Wall. What would not work, however, would be a contribution to a project that does not yet exist. In this case, it would be best to make a donation to

Karen Wilson the Endowment Fund. Q: How can I give to the Foundation today? A: I thought you’d never ask! When you visit our website at www.delmarfoundation.org you will see a donate button on the home page. You can use this to make a contribution using PayPal. You can also send in a check to P.O. Box 2913, Del Mar, Ca 92014 or come by our office at 225 9th Street. I especially enjoy meeting our donors personally, so please do come by! Finally, if you’d like to speak with me about other giving options, please give me a call at 858-635-1363.

Two noted authors coming soon to speak in La Jolla

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Two distinguished authors, each with an adapted-tofilm novel to their names, will showcase their newest projects at events in La Jolla. â&#x20AC;˘ Amy Tan, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Joy Luck Clubâ&#x20AC;? will discuss her new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Valley of Amazement,â&#x20AC;? 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, 700 Prospect St. Proceeds from this event will benefit Words Alive, a reading advocacy organization. Tickets are $35 and include a copy of the book. â&#x20AC;˘ Fannie Flagg, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;? will sign and discuss her latest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The All-Girl Filling Stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Reunion,â&#x20AC;? 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Books, 7812 Girard Ave. The event is free but reserved seating is available and only books purchased at Warwickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be signed. Published Nov. 5, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Valley of Amazementâ&#x20AC;? is Tanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first novel in eight years. It focuses on Violet Minturn, a half-Chinese, half-American girl in 1912 Shanghai, torn between her two cultures. The story also showcases Violetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, who herself is torn between her American upbringing and love for a traditional Chinese man, and explores the courtesan culture; escorts or prostitutes for the wealthy and powerful. Tan has said a photo served to inspire the story. While reading about courtesans, Tan came across an image she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;stunnedâ&#x20AC;? her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five young women are dressed in the same clothes my grandmother is wearing in one of my favorite photographs of her â&#x20AC;Ś identical in every detail. I contemplated the possibility that my grandmother might have indeed been a courtesan for unknown reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my family, secrets continue to unfold and the history of our women has always been about survival, persistence

North Coast Repertory Theatre presents world premiere holiday musical North Coast Repertory Theatre is breaking with theatre tradition this holiday season. Rather than staging a tried-and-true classic, the intimate theatre is proudly presenting an inventive world premiere musical, “The Humbug Holiday Spectacular.” Conceived by and featuring the dynamic duo of Omri Schein and Phil Johnson, the pair last appeared together in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” This comedic, colorful and crazy spoof is full of witty songs, vibrant dance numbers and a little bit of everything to please even the grouchiest of holiday humbug-ers. Follow Horatio the Humbug on a hilarious, fun-filled adventure to create the perfect musical holiday spectacular. This holiday treat is suitable for the entire family. Featured in this madcap musical are Schein, Johnson, Debbie David and Sarah Errington, all of whom take on multiple roles. Music is by James Olmstead, with lyrics by Schein. The musical is co-directed by Johnson and Schein, with Patrick Marion as musical director and pianist.

Club at Torrey Pines High School to launch toy drive for children’s hospital Launched in 2012, Giving Tuesday was created in an attempt to counteract some of the consumption craze that surrounds the holidays and remind everyone of all of the things to be thankful for. When Torrey Pines High School’s peer counseling group, PALs, learned about the children at Rady Children’s Hospital who are unable to go home for the holidays, they decided to launch a toy drive and bring joy to others. The school-wide drive will begin Dec. 1 and run through Dec. 19. Torrey pines High School is located at 3710 Del Mar Heights Rd, San Diego, CA 92130; (858) 755-0125. If you or someone you know attends Torrey Pines High School, please donate new, unwrapped toys to the drive. If you do not know anyone attending Torrey Pines, it is not too late to start a toy drive at your own school or office.

Girl Scout Troops unite for FFCC Thanksgiving Project

Girl Scouts with their finished Thanksgiving baskets.

More than 155 people and 12 Girl Scout Troops from Sage Canyon and Ashley Falls schools came together on the Sage Canyon campus recently to put together a record 130 Thanksgiving food bags for Friends and Family Community Connection’s (FFCC) holiday outreach project. These bags will be delivered to low-income families throughout North County. The 12 troops are 1657, 1722, 1725, 1739, 3155, 3062, 3082, 3053, 3054, 1475, 1846, and 3106. The girls — grades K-6 — worked hard and made crafts and Thanksgiving cards. Then they filled their reusable bags — donated by Jimbo’s — with all the delicious foods used to make Thanksgiving dinner special. They also learned the lesson about the importance of showing compassion and serving others in need. FFCC is a nonprofit that provides volunteer efforts locally, nationally and internationally with outreach efforts to fight hunger, disaster relief, and community service for those in need. Anyone interested in having their local Girl or Boy Scout troop participate in this annual event for next year should contact Teresa Miller at teresa@ismsports.net.

A Life in Art: Every picture tells a story to collector Doug Simay BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Doug Simay has spent over half his life collecting art. Now in his 60s, Simay bought his first artwork at 28, when he found that a piece he loved was actually affordable, and, for a mere month’s salary, he could own it. Currently, 57 “Selections from the Doug Simay Collection” are on view at the Oceanside Museum of Art, part of a museum-wide exhibition of landscapes. Simay’s section is titled “Outside,” which he explains in an introduction: “For me, ‘landscape’ is the pictorial plane on which ‘portraits’ exist. Take away the creatures that represent a story and what is left is my concept of landscape. A close-up of a horse is a portrait. A group of horses in a pasture is a landscape. Landscape is what is outside a protagonist.” To Simay, every picture tells a story. “I can look at a painting and read it,” he said. “It’s partly an acquired skill, from years of education, but it’s also hardwired in me; it’s how my brain operates.” Born and raised in Indio, he had a “superb” art teacher in high school, and developed a taste for making and appreciating art. He also managed to develop a taste for scuba diving, so he and his buddies drove down to La Jolla on weekend dive trips, camping in the parking lot behind the Museum of Contemporary Art. When it came time for college, he chose UC San Diego, where he could pursue a dual major in art and biology and live close to the ocean. At UCSD, he decided he wasn’t meant to be an avantgarde artist, and found success in the field of sub-cellular biochemistry. He went on to medical school, and spent more than 25 years in family practice, with an office on Coast Boulevard. It was as a young intern that he bought his first artwork, a drawing by Robert Bechtle. Like all of Simay’s pieces, there’s a backstory to this one: he had to fight the San Diego Museum of Art for his right to acquire it. “They wanted it for their permanent collection, but I was there first,” he said. “They finally let me have it, and I let them show it in 1983.” From the start, Simay bought from living artists, and enjoyed cultivating relationships with them. In the late 1970s, he met Mark Quint, who had a small gallery next to Margaret’s Dry Cleaners. “I used to buy art from Mark, and when he moved downtown in the early

Doug Simay, with one of his Manny Farber paintings. “I was Manny’s first collector,” he said. “And I had to take out a second mortgage on my condo to pay for this one.” PHOTO © 2013 Lonnie Burstein Hewitt ‘80s, I joined him, and opened my own gallery space next to his,” Simay said. The Java Coffeehouse Gallery followed, then an art-centered bookstore, and finally one large gallery, under what he called his “visual arts moniker,” SimaySpace. “We did a lot of shows by culturally significant artists and I was my best customer,” he said. In 1998, with artist Stuart Burton, Simay opened a full-fledged Art Academy in a 15,000-square-foot space across from his gallery. Under Burton, the Academy still exists, in smaller quarters on 30thStreet. Simay is now officially retired, but not from the art-world. “I can think of no finer way to spend my day than to look at art,” he said. For 40 years, he has lived in the same art-filled condo, with furniture by Dave Fobes, who designed all his gallery spaces. These days, he buys less, and travels more widely, posting photos and descriptions of his art-finds on simayspace.com. He also goes to L.A. every month, visiting 70-100 galleries in a whirlwind few days, and sharing his “Best Picks” on simayspace with hundreds of fans. “I used to feel that art speaks for itself, but people have to be educated, and that comes

with communication,” he said. “My favorite works always have a quality I would call beauty, but I also favor works that combine good and evil, hope and despair, creation and destruction. “I tend to like figurative stuff because, for me, storytelling is a significant pleasure. I look at more art now, and reporting on what I see is a tremendous learning tool for me. My life has never been better!” Want to know more? • For an online look at “Outside: Selections from the Doug Simay Collection,” visit http://www.simayspace. typepad.com/photos/outside/ • To view the exhibit, visit the Oceanside Museum of Art, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays or 1-4 p.m. Sundays to Jan. 5 at 704 Pier View Way,Oceanside.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Many reasons to vote ‘No’ on Prop B Let’s be clear, the Solana Beach City Council did not cause this Special Election. The Initiative sponsors used deceitful tactics to back the council into a corner and left them with only two choices: (1) Adopt their initiative policy; or (2) Schedule a costly Special Election. The list of reasons against adopting is a mile long, but the council could not find a single reason to stifle democracy. And that’s why they called for the Special Election. As Councilmember Zito said at the last meeting, “… it takes a lot of work to force a Special Election,” and “Forcing a Special Election is something that the authors of the petition can choose to do or not.” And that’s exactly what the Initiative sponsors did when they specifically requested a “Special” Election on their Initiative petition and in their letter to the city. This quote from the sponsors’ letter bears repeating, “Additionally we are requesting that a special election be called and scheduled for the earliest possible date after the qualification of this initiative.” It’s indisputable. The Initiative sponsors triggered the Special Election, and the cost is on them. Yet they continue to try to deflect the blame off of themselves. Their tactic is to confuse voters by omitting and twisting the facts. Now the proponents of the Party Policy Initiative (on the ballot as Prop B) are harping on a third party report that the city has every right to question. In fact, it’s the responsibility of the council to question any findings they cannot support. As Mayor Nichols explained, the council has received reports and provided opinions to authors many times in the past, especially when important issues are not addressed or disclosed. The council unanimously agreed that a recent third party report on the impacts of the Initiative failed to address many areas of concern and they provided a list of concerns for our City Attorney to address. Concerns that were not addressed in the report include the lack of parking for parties with 100 guests, potential fiscal obligations the city is expected to face as a result of legal challenges and land use, to name just a few. Since the first days of cityhood, our City Councils have questioned and often disagreed with the results of numerous environmental studies and reports. Reports that were found unacceptable by the council and community include Kaypro, Magellan/Gateway, I-5 freeway expansion, Vons expansion and the Cedros Crossing/train station project. It’s hard to imagine that anyone wants a council that is willing to rubberstamp a study or report that would lead to negative impacts for any neighborhood in our city. After all, in a small town like Solana Beach, nothing affects just one neighborhood; it affects the entire community. Vote “No” on Prop B. Kelly Harless Solana Beach

Frontline: Cancer

Individual genome sequencing will become part of any treatment BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN Imagine trying to treat pneumonia with insulin. Pretty quickly, you’d decide that pneumonia is hard to treat or insulin isn’t much of a drug. Neither conclusion would be true, of course. Pneumonia is effectively treated with antibiotics. Biosynthetic insulin saves the lives of millions of diabetics daily. The point, as my colleague Dr. Razelle Kurzrock often says, is that a drug’s effectiveness depends upon matching it to the right disease or target. This might seem obvious, but often it is not the case. New cancer drugs and therapies, for example, have long been developed in large, lengthy, expensive clinical trials where success is measured by improvements that last only a few weeks. What happens to drugs and treatments that don’t have a widespread effect but do provide deep, perhaps profound, benefit to a few patients? Typically, they’re abandoned. The overarching goal is to create therapeutics with the broadest, most-profitable bang for the buck, not necessarily therapeutics with the greatest efficacy. Drugs and treatments that help only a few patients are considered inefficient and costprohibitive. They are orphaned and often forgotten. This hard reality of medical science is nowhere more apparent than in cancer, a villain that morphs into hundreds of henchmen. There are more than 200 types of cancer — from breast cancer to Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. Each type presents its own challenges. A treatment that works in some patients won’t in others, even if they have the “same” cancer type. As I’ve mentioned in previous columns, personalized cancer medicine is a fundamentally different approach to addressing this challenge. It fashions therapies and medicines based upon the precise, particular circumstances and needs of each patient. It’s one reason why individual genome sequencing will become, in the not-too-distant future, a routine part of any treatment. With a detailed clinical, social, genetic, genomic and environmental biography of each patient, doctors can more precisely tailor

Dr. Scott Lippman treatment to each patient. This is medicine matched down to the molecule. To achieve this kind of precision requires serious basic research. Massive cancer genome sequencing efforts by government-funded consortia, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas and the International Cancer Genome Consortium, reveal a dauntingly complex landscape of DNA sequence changes in tumor cells. It turns out that tumors from patients with the same cancer can look completely different at the genomic scale. Clinicians and researchers need to think differently about how to diagnose and treat cancer. They must think genomically. Our understanding of the human genome is still in its infancy, but early results indicate that personalizing drugs based on the list of DNA alterations in a tumor can be very successful. Clinicians, basic scientists and bioinformatics researchers across the mesa are tackling this challenge together. They come from The Scripps Research Institute, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, J. Craig Venter Institute, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, which houses some of the most advanced computing resources in the world. Research resources at all of these institutions, such as cell sorters to isolate rare cancer stem cells and highthroughput machines to sequence tumor-cell DNA, are integral to this effort. This work in cancer genome sequencing will be invaluable to us in building a robust, world-class system that matches each new cancer patient with the latest molecular technologies and therapeutics most likely to achieve the best, fastest re-

sults. Quick intervention is critical. More than 90 percent of all cancer deaths are due to metastasis, the spreading of cancer from its original tumor site. The impetus is to find what works based upon individual patients, not upon broad cancer types. It is essential to design a protocol that makes every patient a clinical trial of one. Dr. Kurzrock has developed just such a protocol, called PREDICT, or Profilerelated Evidence Determining Individualized Cancer Therapy. She is implementing such a protocol at Moores Cancer Center. Before coming to San Diego, Dr. Kurzrock had earned wide acclaim for developing one of the largest and best phase 1 clinical trials programs in the nation at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Hallmarks of that program were innovative clinical trials with new, targeted therapies, and matching patients with drugs based on their molecular profile. Now she is building on this effort in the new Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy, a major initiative of Moores Cancer Center. This is complex work. It requires extraordinary resources — human, scientific and technological. But as we proceed and progress, we will better learn what works and why. Each patient and every case will add to our armamentarium of knowledge and abilities. That’s how you beat cancer: One patient at a time. Note: You can hear Dr. Kurzrock talk about winning the war against cancer in the genomics era at a free public lecture 6-7:30 p.m. Dec. 4, at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park.

already work together on training and other areas, she said. Driving the talk of mergers is the upward pressure on water rates that have seen increases of 74 percent imposed by Santa Fe over the past six years. Director Greg Gruzdowich, a proponent of exploring consolidation, said rates have effectively doubled when compounded annually. Gruzdowich has argued that Santa Fe can save money and keep rates down by merging with another district and sharing administrative overhead costs. His board colleagues have said they support the idea to varying degrees if savings can be demonstrated. In May, Brian Brady, who runs both the Fallbrook and Rainbow water districts under a joint powers agency, gave a presentation to the Santa Fe board. Brady said the two districts are on course to save $600,000 to $700,000 this year by consolidating management positions. He said savings are expected to increase in the future.

Local doctors perform pro bono surgeries on local residents in need

Nine uninsured community members had life-changing surgeries performed pro bono Nov. 23 thanks to a new partnership between the San Diego County Medical Society Foundation (SDCMSF) and Outpatient Surgery Center of Del Mar. The collaboration is part of SDCMSF’s Project Access San Diego, which provides free specialty medical care to local lowincome uninsured residents. Local ophthalmologist Glenn Cook, MD, Ph.D. and anesthesiologist Babak Abedi MD provided pro-bono cataract surgeries to restore eyesight and fix visually-impairing conditions in nine adults. One of the patients also received a YAG laser procedure. Surgeries were performed at the Outpatient Surgery Center located at 12264 El Camino Real, Suite 55, San Diego, 92130. One of the patients to receive cataract surgery is 54-year-old Pedro Linares. Originally from Mexico, Linares has been a resident of Vista for the last 14 years. He has worked as a carpenter for many years and has been self-employed since 2008, when his previous employer filed for bankruptcy. Unfortunately, Linares has been unable to work and support his family for the last two years due to severe vision impairment brought on his cataract. “A couple of years ago I started noticing slight changes in my vision and before I knew it, I could no longer see the lines on the measuring tape and was unable to work,” said Linares. “It’s been difficult for me to see my wife carry the financial responsibility of our family. I’m eternally grateful to Dr. Cook and both organizations for the opportunity to restore my vision.” For more information, visit http://www.sdcmsf.org.

On Oct. 3, 2011, Ayon crashed his Chevrolet Malibu through a security gate near the U.S.-Mexico border a day before starting to shoot at motorists on northbound 805 in National City. Marcus Eagles testified that he was driving north on I-805 near Plaza Boulevard about 10:15 a.m. when the defendant fired at him. Eagles said Ayon, who was driving alongside him, pointed a gun at him and fired. Eagles said he found a bullet hole in the rear door on the driver’s side door after pulling onto the shoulder of the freeway. ``I still think about it,’’ Eagles said in court today. Shortly after shooting at Eagles, Ayon wounded 26-year-old Demetrous Miller in the thigh in an attack near Mesa College Drive in Serra Mesa. Ayon also fired a shot near Interstate 805 and state Route 163. A few minutes later, he fired two shots into an ambulance on Interstate 5 near Del Mar. Ayon was arrested the next day in Los Angeles County.

Major League Baseball greats Jaime Moyer, Trevor Hoffman and Bob Boone, and former San Diego Charger kicker John Carney, were out to greet people who donated food, clothing, toiletries and monetary gifts to the Red Cross and Catholic Relief Services. St. Therese spearheaded the drive with Rancho Santa Fe resident Karen Moyer, co-founder and vice president of The Moyer Foundation and founder of the Spouses in Sports organization. The group hoped to fill a 50-foot truck donated by Alexander’s Mobility Services and Atlas Van Lines, with help from the Dingman Group. They received generous donations from community members, San Diego Chargers Coach Mike McCoy and wife Kellie, the San Diego Padres and Road Runner Sports who donated 700 shoes to the cause.

One hundred percent of the vendor fees raised (the fee that crafters pay for participating) and 100 percent of the $5 admission fee will be donated to benefit the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. The crafters will also be donating a portion of their sales from the fair. In addition, SDJA also sold food and refreshments, and 100 percent of those proceeds will also be donated.

In 2010, SDJA raised more than $100,000 worth of medical supplies for the victims of the Haiti earthquake, and in 2012, SDJA was able to raise more than $22,000, which was donated directly to aid groups “on the ground.” For more information about San Diego Jewish Academy, visit www.sdja.com.

LICENSE continued from page 8 official with the Board of Psychology, although his license expired on Oct. 31 and he had not renewed it as of Nov. 15. Neither Kanner nor his attorney, Keith E. Zwillinger of Solana Beach, responded to emails and voice messages from this newspaper seeking comment. The hearing to determine if Kanner can continue to practice as a psychologist in California will be overseen by a judge with the state Office of Administrative Hearings, said Gina Bayless, enforcement program coordinator with the Board of Psychology. Due to a backlog of cases, Kanner’s hearing could not be scheduled sooner than next fall. “It’s an unacceptably long time to be setting a hearing out,” acknowledged Bayless. “We would prefer these matters are heard more timely.” The Office of Administrative Hearings handles hearings for a variety of state agencies, and has been affected by an increased case load and worker furloughs, Bayless said. The hearing

schedule must also accommodate the schedule of attorneys on both sides. The accusation filed against Kanner was based on a complaint received by the Board of Psychology, said Bayless. After an initial review of the allegations and the patient’s records, a sworn peace officer with the state Medical Board conducted a full investigation, including interviews with all parties, she said. The investigator’s report was reviewed by an independent expert and the Attorney General’s office before the accusation was filed. The Board of Psychology’s accusation seeks the revocation or suspension of Kanner’s psychologist license. The accusation filed against Kanner said that in December 2009, he began treating S.H., a minor initially diagnosed with anxiety disorder, whose parents were in the process of divorcing. In 2010, Kanner and the patient’s mother began to exchange “flirtatious text messages,” and by March of 2011, “the text messages between (Kanner) and (the patient’s mother) became sexual in nature, and contained many references to explicit

sexual feelings and wishes.” The accusation said Kanner and the patient’s mother began a sexual relationship in the early summer of 2011, which continued until February 2012. “During an interview with the Board’s investigator, respondent emphasized that his sexual relationship with (the patient’s mother) was her fault and that he had been seduced into the relationship and succumbed when (the patient’s mother) became angry,” the accusation said. The accusation said Kanner had engaged in the sexual relationship with his patient’s mother during and immediately after the time period when he had treated the patient. Kanner failed to maintain “appropriate boundaries” in his relationships with individuals close to his patient, and also that he had failed to make a timely report of suspected child abuse regarding the patient’s father, according to the accusation. Kanner, who lists an office at 6037 La Granada in Rancho Santa Fe, is a licensed and board-certified clinical child, adolescent, and adult psychologist and

psychoanalyst, according to his website. His psychologist license was issued in 1992, according to state records. Kanner is a voluntary health sciences assistant professor of psychiatry at UC San Diego School of Medicine. According to his website, he teaches human development and trains medical students how to “better understand and relate to their patients.” A UC San Diego spokeswoman said the university is terminating its relationship with Kanner because his license has expired. University records do not document any volunteer work by Kanner after 2011, according to the spokeswoman. In addition, Kanner has appeared on local and national television and radio programs: his credits include CNN, Dr. Phil, Geraldo, Fox and Friends and UT-TV. His column has also been published in the Rancho Santa Fe Review, and he has written a blog. His book, “Your Family Matters,” was published in 2011. Kanner’s website bio said he is a father and has coached baseball, football, and soccer.

Q&A: Career as novelist comes to Hal Taxel in his later years Hal Taxel was born in Brooklyn, New York, the youngest of four boys. (“My poor mother,” he said.) He was an Eagle Scout and a member of the Scouts’ Order of the Arrow. He served in the U.S. Navy Aircor after graduating from New York University, where he was a reporter for the school’s newspaper, captain of the NYU national champion fencing team — a NCAA silver medalist and fencing All-American. Taxel attended the University of Chicago graduate school and worked for a management consulting company specializing in newspapers and magazines. In the newspaper business in Texas, he went from Marketing Director to Sales Manager to Publisher. When that fizzled, he taught at National University and served as general manager of the La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation. He was appointed a U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee by the Justice Department and handled Chapter Seven and Eleven cases. During that time, he had a novel published, For past six years, Taxel has devoted himself to writing full time. He has had six of his novels published — all available on Amazon in print and Kindle. His latest is “Reuben’s Revenge, Crusade Against Corruption: Vol. 3.” Who or what inspires you? I’m motivated by the idea that one of my books, including one of my unpublished manuscripts will win a Pulitzer. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

Local actresses star in The Old Globe’s ‘Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Even though the Grinch’s small heart grows three sizes, Taylor Coleman used to be afraid of the furry green character. Now, she’s starring as Cindy Lou Who in The Old Globe’s 16th annual production of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” “He was so green,” said 7-year-old Taylor, a second grade student at Sage Canyon School. She and Gabriella Dimmick of La Mesa are alternating in the role. “I’m not afraid of him anymore.” Based on the classic Dr. Seuss book, the show kicked off Nov. 16. Taylor is one of two Carmel Valley girls cast in the musical. Katelyn Katz, an 11-year-old sixth grader at Sage Canyon School, is in the Little Who ensemble. “I love the Grinch and I’ve seen the show at The Old Globe for years,” Katelyn said. “Whether I’m watching it from the audience or watching from backstage, I always have a smile on my face. It never gets old. Every year it’s awesome.” Most recently seen as Brigitta in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “The Sound of Music,” Katelyn has been acting since she was 5 years old. Her theater credits include “Annie,” “Hairspray” and “The Wizard of Oz,” among others. This spring, she will portray Scout in “To Kill a Mockingbird” in her New Village Arts Theatre debut. “The thrill of being on stage is always fun,” said Katelyn, who enjoys tap dancing, singing, reading and spending time with friends. “Knowing that you’re telling a story for other people and that they’re coming to see the story that you’re telling is always really

Taylor Coleman fun.” Unlike Katelyn, Taylor does not have a background in theater. Although the production marks her theater debut, she’s not a stranger to the stage. Every week, Taylor spends 12 hours training as a level four competitive gymnast with TRC South Gymnastics. A competitor since she was 6 years old, Taylor has already won a number of medals, including fourth place at the 2012 Southern California gymnastics state meet. In addition, she studies tap, lyrical and ballet at Francine Garton’s Royal Dance Academy in Carmel Valley. To prepare for her first theater audition, Taylor learned “Rainbow Connection,” a song featured in “The Muppet Movie.” “She wasn’t nervous when she auditioned,” said

She seemed very calm and very collected. I think all the dance training and gymnastics competitions played a huge part in her confidence.” Directed by James Vasquez with book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin, the show runs through Dec. 28 on the theater’s Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage. “You just have a smile on your face from the moment the show starts,” Karen Coleman said. “The show is so well done. It’s so professional. It just really kicks off the holiday season.” “It’s a really, really fun show to see with your friends and family,” Katelyn said. “It’s a really good holiday show.” The Old Globe is located in San Diego’s Balboa Park at 1363 Old Globe Way.

Solana Beach community celebrates 10th anniversary of David Alan Collection BY KRISTINA HOUCK When David Bardwick first came to Cedros Avenue nearly 30 years ago, part of the street was still dirt. Now, Cedros Design District in Solana Beach is well known for art, collectables, fashions and furniture from around the globe. “I’ve enjoyed the growth because it’s stayed focused on the arts. It’s always been the vision of the area,” said Bardwick. For nearly two decades, Bardwick owned Cut & Dried Hardwood and was also owner of Trios art gallery, both on Cedros Avenue. In 2003, he opened the David Alan Collection in the heart of the Cedros Design District at 241 South Cedros Ave. Designed like a museum, the 15,000-square-foot store features furniture and woodcarvings. Bardwick, his employees and his customers celebrated the store’s 10th anniversary on Nov. 14. “I can’t believe it’s been 10 years,” said Bardwick, who grew up in Chicago and moved to San Diego in 1978. “It’s been an amazing journey.” The David Alan Collection is a combination of Bardwick’s passion for art, design and travel. “It includes everything I’ve done in life and loved,” said Bardwick, who has an art degree from Ripon College in Wisconsin. All of the collection’s pieces are influenced by Asian art and furniture. From the islands of Indonesia to the villages of India, Bardwick personally selects each piece in his showroom. For three months every year, he works with three woodcarvers in Bali. “I’ll bring them a picture, a drawing, a concept, a photo that I took,” he explained. “I’ll tell them what I want, what wood to use, what size. They work on it trying to achieve what they understand I want. They’re doing all this and we don’t have a language in common. No words. It’s really amazing.” Bardwick first traveled to the Far East in 1980. Since then, he has visited India 25 times and Bali more than 30 times to collect pieces and gain inspiration.

“I love Eastern cultures. Everything here is from the Far East,” said Bardwick, who has also had more than 20 trips to Europe. “Everything has a story. And the older it is, the better the story.” Having worked with wood for decades, Bardwick is now also working with stones. He recently unveiled his new jewelry line, “David Alan Design.” Featuring gems, metals and earth elements from around the

Photos/Kristina Houck globe, the designs are handcrafted by artisan silversmiths in Bali under his direction. “I saw it as another sculptural expression,” Bardwick said. “I’ve always loved rocks.” The Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, city officials and other community leaders recently presented Bardwick with a proclamation to honor his contributions to the community for the last 30 years, recognize the 10th anniversary of the David Alan Collection and celebrate his new jewelry line. The proclamation was given to Bardwick at a ribbon-cutting ceremony held Nov. 15 at the gallery. “The street has changed, but his work, his pieces, will always fit into the street,” said Nichole Peterson, executive director of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce. “I’m utterly grateful for the community here,” Bardwick said. “There’s no place else I would even think of having a business. This is where I want to be.” For more information about the David Alan Collection, call 858-481-8044 or visit www. thedavidalancollection.com.

Local author debuts cookbook inspired by California coastal lifestyle

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While Thanksgiving is a time for family, food and football, Jolee Pink views the holiday as another opportunity for artistic expression. A local artist and designer, Pink enjoys preparing her home to welcome friends and family for the festive feast. The design challenge inspired the local resident to release her new book, “Living Coastal: Inspirations for Entertaining, Decorating and Cooking California Style.” From Tapas by the Sea to Baja-Style Bash, each of the book’s 16 chapters showcases a different theme for entertaining indoors and outdoors. “I wanted to blend art and food to show how bringing the two together could elevate the dining experience,” Pink said. “I wanted to shape trendsetting tablescapes and give people ideas of what they could do at home, bringing their own personality into the mix.” Published by Chefs Press, “Living Coastal” features more than 20 seafood recipes from 18 chefs. From sea urchin crostini with roe-herb butter, jalapeño jam and lavender salt by Tommy Fraioli of Sea Rocket Bistro, to Maine Diver Sea Scallops and Baja prawns with red quinoa and icewine-eggplant foam by Bernard Guillas of the Marine Room, the book highlights local chefs who use local produce, and sustainably-sourced and locally fished seafood. From paintings to sculptures, the 112-page book also features artwork by 18 artists set on Pink’s tablescapes. Pieces include the “Jellyfish” painting by Donna Butnik and “Vertical Drop” bronze sculpture by Matthew Antichevich. “The book is definitely going to appeal to people in San Diego because it features some of the best artists, chefs and local companies in San Diego,” Pink said. “I really tried to get a diverse group of artists and chefs. Each artist and chef literally brought their own experiences and style to the table.” Pink’s art is also featured in the book. A graphic designer for more than 10 years, Pink left the corporate world to pursue art full-time in 2001. She launched Wabisabi Green in 2008 to showcase her ceramic sculptures and home and garden designs, as well as

cial about California style, and I think that may have an appeal to people who just love to cook or appreciate art or like to entertain,” Pink said. “They can pull bits and pieces out of the book.” “Living Coastal” was officially released during a launch party Nov. 21 at Cicciotti’s

Trattoria Italiana and Seafood in Cardiff-bythe-Sea. The book is available at select local retailers and online at wabisabigreen.com, chefspress.com and amazon.com. “The book’s like pealing an onion,” Pink said. “It has a lot of different layers.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Golden Care, a non-medical, in-home care agency, strives to improve the lives of seniors and their families BY KRISTINA HOUCK Porsha Vogt knows firsthand how important it is to offer the very best services to seniors. Her aunt Alice had advanced multiple sclerosis and desperately needed a caregiver. Without the help of inhome assistance, she died in her home 10 years ago. “We didn’t know about this type of caregiver service,” Vogt said. “I feel like if we knew about it, she would probably have lived a lot longer.” In honor of her aunt, Vogt strives to improve the lives of seniors and their families by offering exemplary care through her Carlsbad-based non-medical, in-home care agency, Golden Care. “We do care,” said Vogt, who grew up in Rancho Santa Fe and currently lives in Encinitas. “You can trust us.” With a finance degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, Vogt worked in the finance field for 10 years before changing career paths. “I wasn’t passionate about it at all,” she said. “I wanted something completely different.” Combining her love of seniors with giving back to the community, Vogt founded Keepsake Companions, a nonmedical, in-home care agency in Carlsbad. “It’s the best of both worlds,” Vogt said. As part of a franchise, Vogt led the company under that name for about a year. But because her service area was limited to Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista, she opted out of the franchise to launch her own independent company,

Golden Care owner Porsha Vogt. Photo/Kristina Houck Golden Care, in October. From Coronado to Spring Valley, Golden Care services all of San Diego County and even has clients in southern Riverside County. “Our caregivers and the whole business stayed the same,” Vogt said. “It’s the same management, same caregivers, same clients — just a different name.”

From light housekeeping and meal preparation, to bathing assistance and incontinence care, Golden Care offers a variety of services. Golden Care’s caregivers are not only employees, but they are all licensed, bonded and insured. All are carefully vetted and go through an in-depth interview process, in addition to criminal and DMV background checks. Most are certified nursing assistants. Hourly and live-in caregivers are available. They are also on call around the clock. “All these phones get routed to our cell phones so someone can be accessible 24/7 a day,” Vogt said. Caregivers clock in on arrival and clock out by calling headquarters on a landline. Caregivers also maintain client binders, which contain comprehensive details of the care and remain in the client’s home. “If there are adult children or someone wants to see what’s going on, they can open this and get filled in,” Vogt said. “Then everyone’s on the same page. “We put a lot of time into our clients to make sure they’re happy. We go above and beyond in everything we do.” Golden Care is located at 5055 Avenida Encinas, Suite 100, in Carlsbad. For more information, call 760-828-5201 or visit getgoldencare.com. Note: Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Real Food & Spirits is pleased to announce the start of our new Executive Chef, Eric Damian. Chef Eric compliments Real’s traditional menu by adding specials that reflect his creativity, passion, and a commitment to using only the freshest, local and sustainable foods. In October, Chef Eric joined Real Food & Spirits. We are excited to present Chef’s new Mediterranean centric menu. It is uniquely comprised of slow cooked comfort food with the fast pace of traditional Forno cooking. In 2010, Chef Eric returned to San Diego choosing to work at the prestigious Bridges Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. At the Bridges, Chef Eric continued to develop and redefine the boundaries between fine and casual dining while still making food comfortable and approachable.

Please join me in welcoming Chef Eric Damian to our restaurant and community. From the heart of our kitchen to the events of your lives! We are now taking reservations and hosting live music.

Sullivan Solar Power’s Cash Reward program to close Dec. 31 To further expand the adoption of solar power in San Diego County, locally headquartered firm Sullivan Solar Power launched its Sullivan Cash Reward program at the start of this year. The solar incentive program, available exclusively to San Diego County residents, offers $0.20 per watt up to $1,500 cash-back for going solar. The program is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2013. “Sullivan Cash Rewards has been a game changer for residents who have wanted to go solar but thought it was too expensive,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power. “This program allows residents to declare energy independence for no money out-ofpocket, save money every month, and then we are actually paying people to do it.” To date, more than 450 San Diego residents are benefitting from the Sullivan Cash Reward program. This year, Sullivan Solar Power is paying out more than $520,000 in cash-back incentives from the participants that have already subscribed to the program. The company expects that the program will inject more than $600,000 into the San Diego economy when the program closes. San Diego homeowners can reserve their space in the Sullivan Solar Power administered program by signing up before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Appointment availability is limited.

Punk rock band X to perform in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like most people, Exene Cervenka is headed home for the holidays. But her home is the road. As the lead vocalist of the Los Angeles-based punk rock band X, Cervenka and her band mates John Doe, Billy Zoom and DJ Bonebrake, are once again hitting the road for their annual holiday tour. “It’s the time of year where we can work,” Cervenka said. “I love touring!” The 24-date “A Family X-Mas” tour kicks off Nov. 29 in Phoenix and ends Dec. 31 in Dallas. With stops in Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington and Texas, the band will make its way to Solana Beach Dec. 8 at the Belly Up Tavern. The band has performed at the local venue several times, Cervenka said. “I always like playing there because people are always happy there,” she said. “They’re up for a good time. It’s very much a celebration.” Born as Christine Cervenka in Chicago, Cervenka grew up in Florida before relocating to Santa Monica in 1976. Through a poetry workshop, Cervenka met John Doe, and the pair later co-founded X. With Doe sharing vocals and on bass, Zoom on guitar and Bonebrake on drums, X formed in 1977 and released its first album, “Los Angeles,” in 1980. More than three decades and seven studio albums later, the original lineup of X remains. The band recently joined rock band Blondie on its fall U.S. “No

Los Angeles-based punk rock band X will perform Dec. 8 at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Photo/ Frank Gargani Principals Tour.” “It was really good because I like that band a lot,” said Cervenka, who has also released music as a solo artist and as the singer of The Knitters, Auntie Christ and The Original Sinners. “They’re really wonderful people. “The shows were great; the audiences were great. We had a fun time.” Although Cervenka said X currently has no plans to release new music, the band’s music was recently released digitally for the first time in September. Titled “The X Collection: 1980-1987,” the digital box set compiles the band’s first six studio albums. Deluxe versions of the band’s early albums “Los Angeles,” “Under the Big Black Sun” and “Wild Gift” are also available digitally. Standard and deluxe versions of the albums “More Fun in the New World” and “Ain’t Love Grand” will also soon be released digitally. The set list for “A Family X-Mas” will include a number of the band’s most popular songs as well as the band members’ favorite songs. The Blasters, a rock band formed in 1979, will join X for every tour date except the New Year’s Eve gig. “They’re one of our favorite bands,” Cervenka said. “If anybody knows X and The Blasters are playing together and they don’t go — that’s good. I’d rather they not know who we are,” she said. “If they don’t come to this show then they’re obviously insane.” The Belly Up Tavern is located at 143 South Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. General admission tickets cost $30. To purchase tickets to the show, visit www.bellyup.com. For more about X, visit xtheband.com.

Lights, Camera, Grand Jeté! Team films a ballet documentary in San Diego BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “Ineffable” is a word for things that are too great, extreme or beautiful to be expressed in words. But film is another story. Producer/directors Joani Livingston and Renée McKay believe in stories that touch people’s hearts and raise their awareness. The Georgia-based, Emmy award-winning team recently spent several days in San Diego, shooting footage for their latest undertaking, “Ineffable.” A documentary about the struggle to keep the arts alive in this country, it spotlights three different ballet companies, one of which is San Diego Ballet. Why did they choose, in a film about the arts, to focus on ballet? “Because it’s a performance art, where music, dance, theater and visual art intersect,” Livingston explained. “And performance art is ephemeral. We watch for an hour or so, then poof! It’s gone. Ballet personifies beauty, wonder, strength and a whole gamut of emotions — basically, who we are as human beings. It’s transcendent; watching a ballerina leap into a grand jeté takes your breath away. And the only way art like this, demanding constant practice and great dedication, will not be lost is by passing it on from generation to generation.” “Ineffable” examines valiant efforts to train future generations of ballet students, practitioners, and audiences in a small town (West Palm Beach, Fla.), a big city (New York) and our own mid-sized San Diego. During their stay here, at the Hotel La Jolla, Livingston and McKay were joined by writer/co-producer Sarah-Jane Murray, who lives part-time in Rancho Santa Fe. The three filmed and interviewed two of the principal dancers with San Diego Ballet, Maxim Tchernychev and Stephanie Maiorano. Tchernychev was born and trained in Russia, which was important to the film’s storyline, since ballet first came to this country with the Ballets Russes. And the company’s founding director, Robin Morgan, danced with New York City Ballet under George Balanchine, the Russian-born choreographer who is considered the father of American ballet.

The powers behind “Ineffable” are producer/director team Joani Livingston and Renée McKay, with writer/ co-producer Sarah-Jane Murray.

Max Tchernychev and Stephanie Maiorano dance for the camera at the Lyceum Theatre during the filming of “Ineffable,” a documentary about ballet. Photos/Maurice Hewitt “We were impressed with the company’s focus on technique and innovation,” Murray said. “And we were very interested in how Max came started a new life and career here, and how Stephanie deals with the difficulty of pursuing her passion in a time when everyone is cutting back.” It’s tough to survive as a dancer, especially when the performance season is only six months long. Balletmaster Tchernychev teaches at the company’s ballet school, and coaches dancers for the world’s largest student ballet competition, Youth America Grand Prix. Maiorano, in the off-season, does secretarial work for a

law firm. “We try to tell stories that promote positive change,” McKay said. “As independent producers of content for PBSTV, we reach millions of eyes and ears, and we don’t take our responsibility lightly.” With “Ineffable,” they hope to show that, through dedication, even in a world obsessed with bottom lines, beauty can triumph. And if one day it does not, something profoundly human will be lost. Livingston/McKay’s most recent documentary, “Primary Concern,” about the critical shortage of primary care physicians, is now airing on PBS. That film took 2½ years to complete. “Ineffable,” which started shooting in March, should be ready for viewing in 2015. “We think it will be our best film yet,” Livingston said. — The “Ineffable” Maxim Tchernychev and Stephanie Maiorano will appear as The Cavalier and The Sugarplum Fairy in San Diego’s Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker” at UCSD Mandeville Auditorium in La Jolla, Dec. 20-22.

Santa Fe Christian students packs meals for victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan

Justin Gray (USN), James Workman (USN)

Santa Fe Christian School students, parents and faculty, Friends & Family Community Connection and sailors from the USS RONALD REAGAN packed meals on Nov. 21 and 22 to help feed the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. More than 2 million people are in need of food in the aftermath of the typhoon, according to the Philippine government. Food packages included a variety of staples, including rice, soy meal, dried vegetables and vitamin supplements. Friends & Family Connection also provided more than 1,000 water filters and a variety of toiletry, hygiene and over-the-counter medications along with the meals. SFC students earned money to purchase the raw supplies for the food packages. Each food package costs one quarter so by collecting quarters, students could correlate their earnings to individual meals. The Philippines food packaging effort is part of SFC’s annual ‘Give Thanks, Give Back’ school wide service project. Friends & Family Community Connection and their partners have purchased, packaged, and shipped over nine million meals to San Diego County, Haiti & Tanzania, Africa, New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Japan, Honduras and Mexico.

Del Mar area businesses to hold Holiday Shopping event to support Rady Children’s Hospital Multiple Del Mar businesses are coming together with their community to present a Holiday Shopping Bazar from 5-9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, with a portion of proceeds going to Rady Children’s Hospital. Del Mar Kids, V’s Barbershop, Mia Bella Couture, Urban Pi, Del Mar Swirls, Beauty and the Boutique, Man Cave, Postal Annex, Beaming and Wink Optometry will be presenting holiday shopping options, entertainment, and food and drink at the Del Mar Center shopping complex, located at 2683 Via de la Valle, Del Mar, 92014 (just east of the I-5 and in front of Albertsons). Del Mar Kids owner Staci Wax-Vanderwiel, who has been supporting Rady Children’s Hospital for years, has rallied her fellow businesses and has planned an evening of shopping, dining and “doing good.” Participating businesses will showcase unique gifts, such as classic shave sets from V’s Barbershop, high fashion eyeglasses from Wink Optometry, organic Beaming bites and treats, and the latest holiday couture from Mia Bella Couture and The Back Room. “It is great that my neighbor businesses are as excited as I am to help Rady Children’s Hospital,” Wax-Vanderwiel said. “It’s such a worthy cause and we’ll be giving back to children who might otherwise have a bleak holiday season.” Urban Pi will provide a sampling of all

organic pizzas and salads, and Del Mar Swirls will be involved as well, donating to the charity for the night’s event. Beauty and the Boutique will have makeup artists and hair stylists on hand, while shoppers wander the outdoor courtyard bazar and tour the individual stores. Girl Scout Troop 1312 will provide $2 gift wrap with all proceeds donated to the cause. In addition to donating a portion of the proceeds from the evening, the retailers are also sponsoring a toy drive for hospitalized children. For every new unwrapped toy donated, customers will receive special raffle tickets to win a variety of goods and services from participating stores. “A toy drive is such an important aspect of our Holiday Bazar,” said Scott McDaniel, owner of V’s Barbershop-Del Mar. “It’s great to support the efforts of the hospital, but it is also so important to help bring cheer and smiles to those children unfortunate enough to be spending the holidays in Rady.” “Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego is grateful to have been chosen the charity partner for the Del Mar Center Holiday Bazar this holiday season,” said Ryan Pocock, corporate and community development officer. For more information about the Del Mar Center Holiday Bazar, please contact Stina Bullock at delmarbuyer@gmail.com or Scott McDaniel at scott@mcdanielllc.com.

Geppetto’s owner releases list of ‘Top Toys for 2013’ San Diego’s “favorite independent toy retailer” is expanding, opening its ninth location this holiday season. To celebrate, local toy expert and Geppetto’s (www.geppettostoys.com) owner Brian Miller has released his list of the “Top Toys for 2013.” In honor of the company’s ninth location, this year’s list features nine different toys for kids of all ages. Geppetto’s “Top Toys For 2013” lean towards one of the hottest trends in the industry — toys that focus on imaginative play, construction and engineering. “With the increased presence of technology in our children’s lives, it is more important than ever to balance screen time with play and imagination time,” said Miller. “Toy companies have really upped the ante when it comes to the quality and build of products on the market,” he added. Geppetto’s “Top Toys For 2013” are: Kinetic Sand ($15.99 - $44.99): Bring the beach indoors with this incredible play sand breathes motion! Easy-to-shape sand molds into simple designs and can be used again and again. No mess, no fuss - stays clumped and won’t spread all over.

Using a loom, kids link colorful rubber bands to make different patterned bracelets, rings and even a mini handbag. Endless projects and patterns. (ages 8 and up) Spirograph Deluxe Set ($29.99): It’s back! Originally created in 1965 as a drafting tool by mechanical engineer Denys Fisher, the Spirograph was an instant hit in the toy world. It’s back and better than ever! Kids can make beautiful, intricate designs from the motion of gears around wheels using the art of mathematics. Without taking from the original integrity of the toy, little improvements make a big difference! (ages 8 and up) Goldie Blox and the Spinning Machine ($32.99): Engineering fun geared for girls. Goldie Blox offers a much-needed female engineer role model who is smart, curious and accessible. She has the potential to get girls interested in engineering, develop their spatial skills and build self-confidence in their problem solving abilities. Designed to nurture a generation of girls who are more confident, courageous and tech-savvy, giving them a real opportunity to contribute to the progress made by engineers in our society. (ages 6 and up) Terzetto by Gamewright ($22.99): Outwit

Starts off easy but you’ll need a keen eye and a bit of luck to make everything fit. Fill your board before your opponent and you clearly know how to mind your marbles! (ages 8 and up) Lazer Maze by Think Fun ($29.99): Lights and mirrors may make it feel like magic, but it’s really science and a good dose of brain power that’s needed to direct the laser beam through this series of mind challenging mazes. Get ready for a satisfying mental workout as you flex your strategic thinking muscles and ignite the light both on the grid and in your mind! (ages 8 and up) Nancy B Moon Scope by Educational Insights ($49.99): Magnify the night sky up to 90x and see amazing things such as mountains on the moon and Saturn’s rings!

Trimming the Holiday Fat

The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN “My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.” — Orson Welles ‘Tis the season for stuffing your face silly from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, punctuated by some fattening pit stops (Chanukah, Kwanza, Christmas and various holiday cocktail parties). According to studies in the New England Journal of Medicine, although the average holiday weight gain is only one pound, it is not reversed during the spring and summer months, accounting for the increase in body weight during adulthood. Let’s leave the belly fat to Santa, and make this one

a healthier, slimmer season, excluding high-calorie, artery-clogging celebratory monsters from the table. Naughty noshes Traditional cocktail nibbles, mostly deep-fried and accompanied by syrupy or creamy dipping sauces, are packed with trans fats, butters, heavy creams, sugars, hidden carbs, additives and GMOs. Steer clear of quintessential party hors d’oeuvres from Swedish meatballs and fried zucchini sticks to pigs in a blanket and egg rolls. Swap these out for turkey meatballs in marinara sauce, rice paperwrapped spring rolls, vegetable crudités with assorted hummus and mint yogurt dips, grilled skewers of shrimp, chicken or veggies, and steamed gems like a variety of dim sum. Pork in the road Even though certain cuts of pork (like the loin) have been touted as leaner than chicken breast, for the most part holiday tables are dressed with unctuous and fatty spiral hams, bacon and pancetta. Many cuts are also loaded with sodium, carcinogenic nitrates, hormones and antibiotics. When there’s a pork in the road, choose grass-fed, immune-boosting lamb, or heart-healthy mineral-rich

sea treasures, including wildcaught salmon and shrimp, Dungeness crab, deep-sea scallops and caviar. The Dark Side As domesticated turkeys are flightless, they give their thigh and leg muscles a good workout pumping them with myoglobin proteins, making the flesh darker and fatter translating to more calories. But the skin’s the thing snagging first prize in the fat contest (3.5 ounces contain 44 grams of fat compared to the skinless breast with only 4 grams of fat). Ditch the skin, and substitute white meat for dark. If you’re game to try a more pungent fowl, go for Rock Cornish hen or quail, as wild duck and goose are rich and greasy (and more fattening, too). Carb control Put creamy green bean casserole with fried onion strings on the sidelines, along with candied yams and fatty sausage stuffings. Yams are sweet enough going solo, while string beans are divine steamed and drizzled with sassy lemon vinaigrette. Be an intrepid chef, experiment with healthier versions of stuffings using multi-grain breads, cholesterol-busting oatmeal, shredded root vegetables, wild or Bcomplex rich brown rice

with dried cranberries and toasted pecans, or aromatic quinoa for an exotic change-up. Slim down mashed potatoes blending in Greek yoghurt or goat cheese instead of the bazillion calories from butter and cream, while mushroom gravy trumps traditional fatty giblet. Sugar ‘n’ spice and edible vice You can guiltlessly indulge in your just desserts with some slimming slights of hand and disappearing acts. Pass on high-fat pecan pie filling for apple, berry and pumpkin, and lose the top crust. A little dab will do you for the whipped cream, or use non-dairy low-fat toppings such as almond, rice or coconut milk. Save Aunt Harriet’s buttery fruit cake for clichéic paperweights, and chuck the Yule log, pannetone, gingerbread cake and marzipan bonbons. Instead, whip up super dark, heart-healthy chocolate treats like walnut brownies packed with mood elevating antioxidants to make all a little mellow, ending the holiday feast on a blissful high.

Skinny sips Shake, rattle and roll with festive riffs on fattening liquid holiday cheer. Swap out highcal Chocolate, Pumpkin Pie and Evergreen Martinis for light and lively Spiced Apple, Pomegranate Rosemary or Cranberry Lavender virgins. Replace mulled ciders, buttered rums and eggnogs with refreshing key lime spritzers, hibiscus coconut Cosmopolitans, Grapefruit Mint Mojitos and Mango Ladas, a twist on Pina Coladas with mango chunks, cream of coconut and limes. Happy holiday trimming!

Mixed Mushrooms and Wine Sauce Ingredients 1/2 small red onion, minced 1 pound, assorted mushrooms (oyster, crimini, shiitake, your choice) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup vegetable broth 1/4 cup red wine 5 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon each of turmeric, paprika and thyme 1 tablespoon dried parsley 1 teaspoon dried basil Dash of ginger, cayenne and sage Method: In a medium saucepan, heat oil on low and sauté onion, garlic and mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add Worcestershire, herbs and spices, broth and wine. Cover and simmer till mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Puree in blender and refrigerate. Heat before serving.

Carmel Valley Certified Farmers Market welcomes new manager The Carmel Valley Certified Farmers Market recently welcomed Keon Keshavarzi as the new manager of the neighborhood market, which benefits programs supported by CCA’s Foundation. “I want to create a yearround rain or shine environment where people can bring their families for lunch and dinner, shop for all their weekly produce needs, and shop for gifts and unique artisan items,” Keshavarzi said. The market is open from 2:30 p.m.-7 p.m. and the uniform lighting creates a festive feel. There are new prepared food vendors such as Gourmet French Cuisine, offering authentic fresh cuisine and new packaged food vendors such as Moonlight Artisan Cheese, a handcrafted local goat and sheep cheese vendor to go with favorites such as Bouchée, an organic bakery and specialty coffee bar, and Divine Fresh Foods, an authentic Mediterranean and Greek food vendor. Other favorites are The Baked Bear, Berumen Boyz Farms, Atkins Nursery, HOPKINS AG and Jonas Raw Honey. Keon added he would also like to get “students more involved to connect with where their food comes from, how small businesses operate and encourage the students to try new ideas.”

N’SESA International is a student-run organization which, according to its website, www. nsesainternational. com, sells products from developing countries here, and donates profits to nonprofit organizations that help those communities. An example of student involvement in the market is N’SESA International, a student-run organization which, according to its website, www.nsesainternational.com, sells products from developing countries here, and donates profits to nonprofit organizations that help those communities. Interested students are encouraged to participate, as it is a great way to use their skills to help communities around the world. Canyon Crest Academy senior Christina Ding coordinates and organizes a booth at the Farmers Market, which sells clothing, jewelry, scarves and knit hats. “The Farmers Market is our very own, onsite laboratory for students to experiment with their small business ideas,” said CCA Foundation Executive Director Joanne Couvrette. Its location on CCA property creates the ideal environment for young entrepreneurs to experiment with a real-world market setting at their school. From now through the winter holidays, the Farmers Market will feature live music, including a mix of professional musicians and student performers. Announcements will be posted on Facebook on Wednesdays, announcing the performer for the following day’s market. Check out the market’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/PacificHighlandsFarmersMarket. Open every Thursday, the Carmel Valley Certified Farmers Market strives to enrich the culture of Carmel Valley by providing fresh, locally grown produce and artisan products. By providing entrepreneurial and performance opportunities for CCA students and by donating all net proceeds to the Raven’s Fund, every purchase at the market helps every student.
