Del Mar celebrates completion of North Torrey Pines Bridge retrofit and rehabilitation project By Kristina Houck More than three years after holding a groundbreaking ceremony at the same spot, city officials and community members gathered to celebrate the completion of the North Torrey Pines Bridge retrofit and rehabilitation project April 15 at the Torrey Pines State Park/Beach parking lot off Carmel Valley Road. “Today we’re celebrating not only the completion of a construction project, we’re celebrating the much-improved safety of the bridge,” said Del Mar Mayor Lee Haydu during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “We celebrate that we were able to preserve our important piece of history, we look to the future ensuring that this landmark structure lasts at least another 50 years, and we celebrate all the many hours that were invested by so many people in making completion of this project a reality.” Built in 1933, the bridge connects Camino del Mar with North Torrey Pines Road and borders the

Prior to reconstruction, it was deemed one of the worst in the state as far as its ability to withstand an earthquake. The $21 million project strengthened the existing bridge, enhancing its ability to survive major seismic activity. The project also extended its life for another 50 years — all while maintaining the historic character of

the structure, which San Diego sold to Del Mar for $1 in 2000 when the two cities couldn’t agree on whether to replace or restore it. “It might look like a simple, straightforward project; however, there were many, many challenges that had to be overcome,” said Zylkia Martin-Yambo, a transportation engineer for the Federal Highway AdministraSee BRIDGE Page AA2

Man injured in Solana Beach fire

Lions Baseball Tournament

By City News Service A man suffered burns on 50 percent of his body in an apartment fire in Solana Beach early April 16, authorities said. The fire, which occurred at 833 South Cedros Ave., erupted around 2 a.m., according to San Diego County Sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Tomaiko. Tomaiko said firefighters and deputies responded to a call reporting a smell of smoke coming from the adjacent apartment to the reporting party. Upon arrival deputies observed smoke coming from the roof vent of the apartment building. Deputies assisted the fire department with breaching the locked apartment door. While the fire department evaluated the residence, deputies began evacuations and evacuated six apartments. Firefighters located a male victim inside the apartment with obvious burn injuries of his upper extremities. Firefighters rescued the injured man and took him to UC San Diego Burn Center to treat serious burns covering 50 percent of his body, Tomaiko said. Because a serious injury occurred, the sheriff’s bomb arson unit was called to investigate the cause of the blaze. — Some of this information was taken from a sheriff’s report.

SB approves street improvements By Kristina Houck Sections of Highway 101 and Plaza Street will soon receive facelifts, after the City Council approved upgrades to the Solana Beach streets. In a 4-0 vote with Councilman Peter Zahn absent, council members on April 9 awarded a $222,230 construction contract to Dick Miller, Inc. The San Marcosbased company recently completed the city’s Highway 101 West Side Improvement Project. The new round of improvements will extend the existing sidewalk on the west side of Highway 101, north of Ocean Street. The bike lane in the southbound direction will be maintained, and the roadway will be restriped.

In addition, the four corners at the intersection of Plaza Street and Acacia Avenue will be upgraded to meet current ADA standards. The project will also improve the pedestrian corridor between Highway 101 and Fletcher Cove Park with upgrades to striping, signage and landscaping. DMI submitted the lowest of 11 bids, with the highest bid at $329,710. City staff also requested $40,000 for construction contingency and $8,000 for inspection for a project total of $270,230. Funds for the project will come from the city’s Public Improvement Grant Fund. Currently, there is $400,000 available for Highway 101 corridor improvements.

By Suzanne Evans Several major collisions on CA State Highway 56 in less than a year have prompted California State Assembly Member Brian Maienschein, 77th District, to urge Caltrans to add safety measures to the highway, which has claimed new victims every few months. Maienschein’s senior field representative, Michael Lieberman, reported at the Del Mar Mesa planning board’s April 10 meeting that the Assemblyman continues to focus on preventing the deadly crashes. “Caltrans needs to step up and install safety measures,” Maienschein said in a phone call after the meeting. Caltrans has argued that because the 56 freeway’s median is wider than 75 feet, it doesn’t need a guardrail. Del Mar Mesa board members agreed that installing plants in the median would not prevent accidents, and a permanent solution, such as a concrete barrier, is needed. “Guard rails would be an obvious solution, but I don’t want to tie Caltrans’ hands regardless of an estimated completion plan [of 2020]. I’ve done both meetings and calls, and will continue to advocate,” said Maienschein.

Santa Fe Christian student pitches a no-hitter at Petco Park

■ For a variety of social events, see pages AA3-AA6, and B1- B32.

By Karen Billing There’s a big difference between his backyard baseball haven at his local home and the spacious Petco Park with its 42,445-seat capacity, but Santa Fe Christian senior Chase Bushor didn’t let the big league pressure get to him during a league matchup against Bishop’s at Petco recently. The 18-yearold pitcher tossed a no-hitter in a 8-0 victory over Bishop’s on April 4, a feat no Padres pitcher has ever accomplished, even in the pitcher’s park that is Petco. “It was unbelievable,” Chase said. “I will never forget that experience, it was everything I’ve ever dreamed of doing and hopefully it’s not my last time on that field.” Chase has been playing baseball for as long as he can remember, probably since he was 3 years old. Despite playing sports such as basketball and football, it was his time on the diamond with Ran-

cho Santa Fe Little League where his passion for the game grew. When Chase was 10, his parents asked him and his sister what they most wanted in their backyard. While his sister picked a pool with a water slide, Chase picked a baseball field. His father, Ed, said much appreciation and credit is owed to the Rancho Santa Fe Association for allowing the field to be built, which gave Chase the opportunity to pursue his dreams. “He was 100 percent developed on that Rancho Santa Fe backyard field,” said dad Ed. “It is a very special place to me,” Chase said, who has logged hours on the field nearly every day since it’s been built, working on hitting and fielding with his father, friends or just by himself. Chase was called up to the varsity squad at San-

Lessons learned: Reporter spends day as cop during Inside SDPD program By Elizabeth Marie Himchak It started out as just a routine traffic stop. A motorcyclist was speeding so my partner and I pulled him over. I was her backup as she tried to approach. She had only taken a few steps toward him before it was clear this was not likely to be routine. This guy was more than slightly ticked off. Whether it was because he was some middle-aged chauvinistic biker being confronted by two females in authority or had something to hide, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Within seconds the situation escalated. He was screaming and swinging his arms around. My partner was trying to verbally calm him down. I stood at the ready â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one hand on my gun, the other on my baton. My eyes never left his ever-moving hands. Suddenly, he reached toward the seat of his motorcycle. I had to think fast. Was he going for his registration? Not likely. Within the blink of an eye I saw a gun in his hand. I drew mine and started to fire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one, two, three ... I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how many bullets went flying between him and myself within a few seconds that felt like an eternity. Then it was over. Had this been real, someone would have likely been dead. Who? Based on the wild pattern of green dots on the screen in front of me and the fact that he was still standing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well, you get the picture. Red was a hit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; green, a miss. I clearly missed my moving target. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you if my partner ever fired. Things were that chaotic. During debriefing, the San Diego police officer sitting in the back of the room commented that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really fast on the draw. That made me feel good as I saw my multitude of green dots. If I was not a newspaper reporter at the San Diego Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media day, but a real cop, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been so kind. I would have been hauled over to the target range for some serious remedial training because, unlike the simulation I just did, in real life hitting oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target can mean the difference between life and death. ***** This was one of the points San Diego police officers were trying to drive home to the reporters who took them up on an invitation to spend five-plus hours recently at the San Diego Regional Police Academy for the Inside SDPD program. We were given a little insight into what they confront on a daily basis. They know we will be among those quick to question

their responsibilities? Because the academy classroom can only give a taste of what officers will face during their careers. The real classroom is the streets of San Diego, where every day teaches officers something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the rookie cops on patrol to those with 20 or 30 years on the front lines. Seasoned veterans have to adapt to changing times where the Internet poses new opportunities for criminals to succeed and new technology must be incorporated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as body cameras SDPD is currently testing that officials hope will not only deter the few rogue officers who might abuse their authority, but instill confidence with the public. Initial testing has shown civilians act a little better to police officers when they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being recorded, Zimmerman said. The department is facing a serious situation within A K-9 unit takes down an aggressive suspect during a demonstration for media during the Inside SDPD program on April 5.

their actions when things go bad. This awareness that they have to follow rules that the criminals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and will be judged â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps fairly, maybe too severely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plays a factor. But when the bullets start flying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life or death. As many of the participating police officers told us, they naturally want to go home at the end of their shift. So they make decisions that will hopefully save themselves, their partners, the innocent civilians in the area and even the suspects, who might just be having a bad day and in any other circumstance would be more cooperative. These situations are luckily the exceptions, not the rule. As Chief Shelley Zimmerman said, San Diego police officers have millions of contacts with the public each year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; none of which we report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most do not rise to a blip on your radar because we do our job very well and we are very well trained,â&#x20AC;? Zimmerman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is critically important we continually train all the time.â&#x20AC;? That training is intense and has expanded over the years. In 1982, around the time Zimmerman was going through the academy, recruits spent four months there and an additional three months in field training. Now, they spend six months at the academy followed by four months of field training. Why so little time considering the magnitude of

tion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located in an environmentally- sensitive area. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a train that goes under it. â&#x20AC;Ś On top of that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a historic bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of coordination had to be put into it, a lot of detail, a lot of effort.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a tremendous occasion,â&#x20AC;? added Gary Vettese, a representative of Caltrans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great example of the things that are hard are really worth doing.â&#x20AC;? Initially called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorrento Overheadâ&#x20AC;? and constructed as an overhead railroad crossing, the bridge is more than 550 feet long and 49 feet wide, which is equal to the size of two football fields and as tall as a six-story building. In 1996, Del Mar renamed the bridge the North Torrey Pines Bridge. Primarily funded by a combination of federal and state funding from Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration, the North Torrey Pines Bridge was named

The project also received awards from the local chapters of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Construction Management Association of America. During the ceremony, representatives from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and state Sen. Marty Blockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (D-San Diego) offices also presented commendations to city officials and project supporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This beautiful span is not only the southern gateway into our city, it is a historic landmark,â&#x20AC;? said Haydu, who noted the bridge was built when construction began on the Golden Gate Bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is one of the few remaining examples of coastal cast concrete bridge in California.â&#x20AC;?

ta Fe Christian at the end of his freshman season and has been a varsity starter since his sophomore year. The pitcher with the nohitter under his belt says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily a shortstop but as a part of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-man rotation, it just happened that this was his turn to take the mound at Petco Park on April 4. When he took the rubber, Chase said he took the time to look around Petco and let it all sink in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was crazy,â&#x20AC;? he said. As he started fanning batters and innings crept by without a hit, Chase and his teammates became aware of what was happening and baseball superstition set in: Nobody talked to him, not even the coaches. He came in the dugout between innings and sat alone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just in the zone.â&#x20AC;? Chase said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that his no-hitter game was ever threatened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My infield made a lot of great plays, I was never really worried,â&#x20AC;? Chase said. In the game, Chase employed his best pitch, his curveball, and struck out 13 batters and walked two. When the last batter swung through the last pitch, Chase can barely put into words how he felt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fist pumped and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just threw a nohitter at Petco Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and my team ran out to congratulate me. It was really cool,â&#x20AC;?

Chase said. While the moment was amazing, Chase has had some other great high school highlights with the Eagles as well, such as winning the CIF championship his sophomore year. The team is now 10-4 and Chase believes they are a strong squad that can get back there again this year, making it past rivals Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Francis Parker. With his impressive stat line of a .455 batting average and a 4.2 GPA, Chase has earned a scholarship to attend Georgetown University next year. He will play shortstop on the baseball team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the campus and I love the little city. Above all, the education is tremendous and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my main goal. And I get to play baseball and chase my dream of being a professional baseball player,â&#x20AC;? Chase said. He plans to study business and major in finance and management at Georgetown. While he spends a lot of time with his high school team playing games or practicing, Chase said he still spends about five days a week on his backyard field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to say thank you to everyone in Rancho Santa Fe that made it possible to have a baseball field in my backyard,â&#x20AC;? Chase said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made a huge impact on my life.â&#x20AC;?

HBA Currently Accepting Students for Fall 2014 As High Bluff Academy evolved from a learning center into a fully accredited high school, its mission remained focused: Provide a highly specialized education that ďŹ ts the needs of each individual student. Today, HBA continues to offer supplemental programs while building a reputation as a rigorous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and successful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; college prep school.

prepares them to succeed once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re admitted,â&#x20AC;? said Duoto. Families select the school for a variety of reasons - from wanting a more customized education to helping a student get back on track or out of an uncomfortable environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One size does not ďŹ t all so we are solution-oriented,â&#x20AC;? says Duoto, who graduated with honors from UC Berkeley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping to repair a teenparent relationship; others itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understanding their special circumstances.â&#x20AC;? By focusing on the individual through highly specialized programs and carefully selecting its faculty, HBA successfully serves the needs of both high-achieving and struggling students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ďŹ nd it gratifying to observe a student who struggled through math classes at a larger public school, now helping her classmates to solve complex precalculus problems,â&#x20AC;? says Duoto. HBA has seen its students admitted to highly selective colleges, U.C. campuses and private colleges, with scholarships of up to $20,000 per year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our students get the advantage of our outstanding teachers, small class size and beautiful facility, but students from neighboring schools can still join our classes during their school day and in our summer schoolâ&#x20AC;? said Director Jill Duoto. Throughout Jillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 years as an international educator working at schools in Japan, Singapore, Colombia, Brazil, and locally at Francis Parker, she came across families of all types. While each has a unique story, their goal remained the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want their children to have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hold our students to high standards,â&#x20AC;? says Duoto, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we give them the education that positions them for the college selection process and Principal Jill Duoto on a recent visit to China support they need to succeed.â&#x20AC;?

Why all students should attend summer school By Jill Duoto When I was a kid, only students who failed a class went to summer school. That is deďŹ nitely not the case any more. With the growing competitiveness of college admissions, students of all abilities are using their summers to gain an edge. Increasing the number of academic classes: Looking at admissions statistics for UCLA for 2013, 70% of all admitted students had taken more than 23 college prep classes. In high schools where students take only six classes a year, it becomes impossible for most students to take enough courses to be competitive without taking summer classes. Going beyond the minimum: Colleges want to see AP classes, but what if your child is not suited for these courses? Having an extra year of math, science or foreign language beyond the minimum requirements can really boost an application. Preparing for AP and increasing GPA: At HBA, advanced students are taking Honors Precalculus to gain the extra GPA point of this weighted class and to prepare for AP Calculus in the fall. Other advanced students are taking Chemistry or Physics to prepare for AP science classes next school year. The summer before 12th grade is the last chance for students to raise their GPAs for college admission.

Lightening the load: Students who are busy with sports, internships and clubs are taking a difďŹ cult class in the summer to lighten their homework load during the school year. Remediating low grades: Even if your child isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aiming for a highly competitive university, summer school may be necessary. Many students mistakenly believe that freshman grades donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count for college. Unfortunately, a D grade in any academic class could render a student ineligible to apply to a four-year university. Meeting NCAA requirements: Student athletes preparing for admission to a D1 or D2 school must be especially careful to have enough NCAA approved courses. Many students gain admission to a school on a sports scholarship, only to ďŹ nd that they have not met the NCAA academic requirements. All courses at HBA are NCAA approved. SAT & ACT Prep: Summer is also the best time for juniors and seniors to take an SAT or ACT prep class allowing them time and focus that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have during the school year. HBA guarantees results! High Bluff Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer schedule may be found on the school website: www.highbluffacademy.com. Scholarships are available for some group classes.

Russian Student Finds Success at HBA High Bluff Academy student Konstantin Avdienko arrived from Russia a year and a half ago to simply audit some classes and improve his English. When he realized the progress he was making, he decided to stay and earn an American High School diploma. After only 3 1/2 semesters here, he has been accepted to the school of engineering at UC Davis and is still under consideration at UCSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering program. At the urging of Konstantinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, the school started the rigorous process with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, for issuing international student visas. This year, the school is hosting students from China, Switzerland, Korea, Thailand and India. Families in Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe have volunteered to provide homestays for some of these students. Families interested in hosting a foreign student can register on the website or call the school.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation chapter hosts luncheon

he Cystic Fibrosis Foundation San Diego and Imperial Counties Chapter held the chapter’s sixth annual “65 Roses” Ladies Luncheon at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa on April 10. This year’s event merged “the creative forces of art and fashion at an outdoor Chelsea-style gallery showing.” The event was sponsored by Katherine Cosmetics and included an afternoon of shopping, art, fashion and champagne. “65 Roses” is what some children with cystic fibrosis call their disease because the words are much easier for them to pronounce. The phrase was coined in 1965 when Mary G. Weiss, a CFF volunteer made it her mission to help her three young sons who had been diagnosed with the disease. After countless telephone calls, her 4-year-old son, who did not know he had cystic fibrosis said, “I know what you are working for… you are working for 65 Roses.” Since then “65 Roses” has been used by kids of all ages and has become a registered trademark for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. Visit www.cff.org. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview. com. PHOTOS/JON CLARK

COP continued from page AA2 the next few years, the chief said. Half of the force is eligible to retire in the next four years. Zimmerman, a 31-year veteran, will be one of those leaving four years from now. She said half of the officers currently working patrol have been in the department for six or fewer years. In some divisions, it is up to 70 percent of patrol officers. The city has taken steps to increase the number of those accepted into the academy. Of these, 5 to 10 percent will not graduate due to various reasons, she said. Despite this impending shortfall, the chance of ever putting on a police uniform for the City of San Diego remains slim. Zimmerman said only 3.5 percent of applicants are given a job offer. This means the department can select the best — but it also means in a few years there could be a serious shortage of officers and few vets around to

take the rookies under their wings. “When they graduate from the academy they are not ready to be the next homicide detective,” Zimmerman said. “Some (assignments) require years of experience.” ***** During media day reporters did not get to examine a staged crime scene or do a ride along, but we did get to learn about various aspects of the department. There was a Taser demonstration, use of force was explained, we learned what it takes to be a SWAT officer and sniper, saw a K-9 unit in action, sat in the department’s new vehicles, conducted a “traffic stop” and went through driving training on a simulator. The latter was challenging. A few of us got dizzy because the lack of motion in the simulator can mess with one’s equilibrium. All officers must take a five-hour refresher course every two years on the academy’s simulator

and its Qualcomm Stadium driving course because “more officers are killed by driving their cars (than anything else),” Sgt. Kevin Raysis said. Controlling a vehicle traveling at high rates of speed and typically not wearing a seatbelt are factors. Officer Greg Mrvick said the department is trying to overcome officers’ reluctance to wear their seatbelts due to fear of being trapped in their vehicles. He said 99 percent wear it while off duty, but only 30 percent while on the job. The validity of their concern was evident to me during another exercise. This time, without backup, I “pulled over” a speeding driver and just got out of my vehicle when the driver exited hers and started firing. I quickly dove for cover behind the driver’s door because of instinct and maybe all those police shows I’ve watched over the years. But as Inside SDPD makes abundantly clear,

Honorees Maggie Villareal, Dr. Meerana Lim, Twinkle Hillman, Andrea Petray

what officers experience is not like what we see on TV or in the movies. Their adrenaline is elevated, but they must remain calm and level headed. They make decisions based upon their experience and the situation at hand. Witnesses see things from various perspectives and even video of an incident can be misleading. “There is a lot of multitasking and we’ve got to get it right every single time,” Zimmerman said. In the end, police must trust their training, gut instincts, abilities and their partners — both the twoand four-legged varieties — if they are to go home at the end of their shift. Did you know? •For the past 10 years Inside SDPD has been offered quarterly to the public. The suggested donation is $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. The next session will be 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 26. Register at www.SDPoliceFoundation.org. •SDPD has helped

90,000 children be safer online through SafetyNet. Its free programs are offered throughout the area. These include a 6 p.m. Thursday, April 17 session at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, 15498 Espola Road. It is for adults and teens (ages 13-plus accompanied by an adult). For details, go to www.SmartCyberChoices.com. •Studies show it takes 0.56 seconds for a police officer to see a gun and react in controlled conditions, but the average time a suspect needs to shoot is 0.23 seconds. The fastest suspects can fire in 0.09 seconds. •During a police contact, 90 percent of people comply with what the officer tells them to do, but 10 percent exhibit some level of resistance. •One K-9 unit dog can be worth 10 to 12 officers on the scene, but releasing the dog requires certain situational conditions — like lack of civilians in the vicinity. Suspects are typically more afraid of getting bitten by the dog than shot

Jodi Bianchi, Katrina Young

Samantha Hall, Honorata Lee by a police officer. •San Diego Police has 25 operational dogs, all of whom were purchased by the San Diego Police Foundation. The department wants to add four K-9 teams each year over the next five years. Each dog typically remains in service for between seven and eight years. •A Taser is most effective when deployed 7 to 15 feet from the suspect, the electrical arc has a max of 1,200 volts, can be deployed for no more than 5 seconds, only two deployments are permitted in most circumstances and the stunning effect ends immediately after the Taser is turned off. •Over the next seven years San Diego Police Department will replace all its Crown Victoria police cars with the Ford Police Interceptor SUV — similar to a Ford Explorer.

“Woman of the Year” Gerri Retman-Opper and Assemblywoman Toni Atkins. Courtesy photo With a goal of saving the land and various other community issues at hand, she began to also get involved in local politics. She actively supported former Mayor Doug Sheres’ campaign for council, and later managed Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner’s and Councilman Mike Nichols’ campaigns for council. “Every person I met or talked to — I brought up that property,” she said. “I was the rabid dog on that developer’s leg. I was going to do everything I could and put every obstacle I could to try to get him to burn out. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it was going to take all these years.” In 2012, Retman-Opper finally accomplished her goal. The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy acquired the Gateway property for $3.75 million in loans. Today, more than 1,100 contributors have raised $3.4 million toward saving the site and paying off the lenders. To learn more or donate to the campaign, visit www. sanelijo.org/gateway-park. “It’s an iconic California view,” said Retman-Opper, who thanked San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and the many community members who supported the cause along the way. She noted that Solana Beach resident Roy Warden and her Australian Shepherd, Ziggy, helped motivate her throughout the long process. Both died from cancer shortly before the land was purchased. “It will be a place that people will come to in Solana Beach and they’ll know that there was a community effort to save that piece of property for the public forever.” Born in Ohio and raised in Orange County, Calif., Retman-Opper moved to San Diego for an internship in neurodiagnostics at UC San Diego Medical Center when she See RESIDENT, PAGE A18

Canyon Crest Academy Senior Catherine Wu has made the USA Computational Linguistics Olympiad Team and will represent the United States to compete at the International Computational Linguistics Olympiad this summer. This Olympiad is a contest in which high school students solve linguistic puzzles. In solving the problems, students learn about the diversity and consistency of language, while exercising logic skills. The problems range widely across traditional and computational linguistic topics — from orthography and transcription systems to syntax, semantics, morphology, and phonology, as well as dealing with computational tools such as finite state transducers and combinatorial categorial grammars. Professionals in linguistics, computational linguistics and language technologies use dozens of languages to create engaging problems that represent cutting edge issues in their fields. It is truly an opportunity for young people to experience a taste of natural-language processing in the 21st century. In addition, as a Gold Medalist at the Interna-

Catherine Wu tional Biology Olympiad last year, once again Catherine Wu has qualified as one of 20 students national-wide for the U.S. National Biology Olympiad (USBO). She has won the opportunity to attend the Biology Olympiad Camp. At the beginning of June, Catherine — along with 19 national finalists — will attend a nationally-recognized institution for a two-week training. At the end of the two weeks, four students will be selected to represent the United States to compete at the International Biology Olympiad, which will be held in Bali, Indonesia, in July. Catherine has been accepted by Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT. She will likely attend Harvard this fall.

By Kristina Houck From preserving open space, to managing local political campaigns, Gerri Retman-Opper has worked to maintain and enhance the character of Solana Beach for almost as long as she has lived in the coastal community. Recently named one of 78th Assembly District’s 2014 “Women of the Year” by Assemblywoman Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), Retman-Opper’s community service was recognized during a reception with other honorees March 28 at the State of California office building in San Diego. “It is a big honor,” said Retman-Opper, a 30-year Solana Beach resident who played a critical role in a successful effort to save the 3.4-acre parcel known as the Gateway property for open space. “When I got involved in saving that piece of land, the goal was to protect it forever so that no one could ever build on it. Accomplishing that goal really is the reward. Being acknowledged for the effort is a bonus.” Located east of Highway 101 across from Cardiff State Beach, the site had long been sought after by real estate developers and potential property owners. During the mid-1980s, plans to build a hotel on the property prompted a successful campaign for Solana Beach to incorporate as a city in 1986. With an appreciation for the land since she first moved to the area in 1984, Retman-Opper spearheaded the fight against subsequent development proposals, which threatened community character, public views and the ecology of nearby San Elijo Lagoon. Retman-Opper first became active in the issue in the mid-1990s when she approached advocacy group Save Old Solana, which had been successful in scaling down the Midori housing development, which was built on a flower field. In 1996, Arizona-based Magellan Solana Beach purchased the lot for $2.8 million and eventually submitted permit applications for a large hotel-condominium development. It was the first of many projects proposed by the company that never came to fruition — or even before the council for approval, Retman-Opper said. “That’s how I became an activist,” Retman-Opper said. “I had to think of ways to stop that property from being developed. They certainly had a right to develop — and I acknowledged that — but we wanted to buy it. I knew that in order to get that property, we had to make sure we had a council that understood what the people wanted. Overall, the majority of the public wanted to save that piece of property.” From rallying her fellow citizens to testifying before council, Retman-Opper took every opportunity she could to educate others about the property.

Local resident wins Horse Player World Series at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas

By Julie Sarno Christian Hellmers bested 749 other racing handicappers to win the Horse Player World Series at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas on March 29. The local resident finished the three-day handicapping tournament with a score of 3,559.30 and won $269,640. Participants were required to make 15 mythical $20 win or place wagers. Hellmers has been featured this season on the “Horseplayers” show on the Esquire television network. The Horse Player World Series is a championship event, the culmination of a year-long series of qualifying events hosted by the Orleans and related casinos in Las Vegas, as well as qualifying tournaments at racetracks, Off Track Betting facilities and websites. Players are also permitted to enter the finals by

paying a $1,000 entry fee. Hellmers bought one entry. Previously, Hellmers finished second in back-toback Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenges in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, he finished second in a handicapping contest at Keeneland. “I’m supremely grateful and cannot thank every person enough who has helped me master my intuition as a man, and as a wagering Jedi, including my close family and friends, as well as Yoda,” Hellmers said in a text. “The other reason I’m successful is because I learned the hard way by losing and challenging myself to be my best, betting fearlessly out of a deep rooted belief in myself and in something bigger above,” said Hellmers, who acknowledged he spent five hours each night handicapping.

San Dieguito Union High School District to hold College Night and Fair April 22 The third annual SDUHSD College Night and Fair will be held on Tuesday, April 22, from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Former Ross space in Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lomas Santa Fe Plaza to remain empty for now By Kristina Houck Although it was previously announced HomeGoods would open a new location in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza shopping center, a representative of the Solana Beach center said a lease has not yet been signed with the chain of home furnishing stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still working through the lease process,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Sullivan of American Assets Trust, Inc., the plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operator. During a City Council meeting in February 2013, Councilwoman Lesa Heebner announced HomeGoods would open a store at the site, which is located at 961 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Ross Dress for Less was previously located at the space, which closed on Jan. 20, 2013, after its lease expired. Sullivan could not provide any other information as to why a lease has not been signed, or whether a different company would fill the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no other updates,â&#x20AC;? he said.

By Kristina Houck Solana Beach business owners and community members gathered April 14 to discuss potential parking solutions for Highway 101 and the Cedros Design District during a special meeting April 14 in City Hall. Organized by the Highway 101/Cedros Avenue Development Standing Committee, meeting attendees helped committee members narrow a list of three-dozen ideas that were generated when the group met in December to address parking concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal here is to walk away with three or four really solid ideas to take to the council in July, and at that meeting to talk about priorities and â&#x20AC;Ś get some things done,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Mike Nichols, who serves as a liaison to the committee, along with Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner.

council in July to consider the use of valet parking, varied parking time limits in specific areas, rooftop parking and paid parking to help reduce parking issues. During the July 9 meeting, staff will also introduce an ordinance that would establish a Business Parking District. If approved, the district would support businesses and encourage the development of new retail and restaurant uses within existing buildings, as well as promote the preservation of the existing building fabric along the Highway 101 corridor. Only businesses located in existing buildings would be eligible for the program, which would offer reduced parking requirement alternatives, grant reduced parking requirement requests, and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really appreciate all of your input,â&#x20AC;? Nichols said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what made this list so packed full of good ideas.â&#x20AC;?

Local women co-chair fundraising gala for 50th anniversary of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas By Kristina Houck Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas has a special place in Joanne Marks — and her family’s — hearts. After 16 years of fainting spells, doctors at Scripps Encinitas discovered why her husband suffered from syncope. His heart had been stopping. He has since been implanted with a pacemaker. A month later, her brother-in-law had a heart attack. He was also treated at the Encinitas facility. “We experienced wonderful care,” said Marks. . “It’s a very significant comfort to know that the highest quality care of the nation is in your backyard.” Scripps Encinitas recently marked its 50th anniversary, having grown from a small convalescent center to a full-service hospital that cares for more than 80,000 patients a year.

To celebrate the occasion and raise funds for a hospital expansion project, Marks and three other local residents are co-chairing the Scripps Encinitas Gala April 26. “Nearly all people in the United States are going to use a hospital at the beginning of their life, end of their life or sometime in between,” Marks said. “If you want a hospital of quality, the community has to get behind it.” Founded as Encinitas Convalescent Hospital, the facility opened April 9, 1964, to provide long-term care for patients recovering from illness or surgery. Today, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas has 158 beds, more than 40,000 emergency room visits annually and delivers nearly 2,000 babies each year. “The doctors, the level of care — it is very high quality,” said Catherine

Scripps Encinitas Gala Co-Chairs (L-R) Catherine Nicholas, Joanne Marks, Franci Free and Mary Miller. Photo courtesy of Scripps Health. Nicholas, another co-chair. “It’s a leading facility.” “I like that it’s personal,” added co-chair Mary Miller. Three of her five children were born at the Encinitas facility. “This is a jewel. You go in and you’re not a number. They know you.” An almost 62,000-square-foot, two-story critical care building is set to open this summer. The building will house a 27-bed emergency department on the first floor, which will more than double the size of the hospital’s emergency room. The second floor will include 36 beds for patients recovering from surgery or acute illnesses.

Scripps is two-thirds of the way toward its $58 million philanthropic goal, having already raised $39 million for the project, which will also be funded by borrowing and operating margin. “From Del Mar to Rancho Santa Fe, and Carlsbad to Oceanside, this is something that unites all of North County,” Miller said. “They care for everyone.” The gala is sold out, but those interested can contact Emily Wilson at the Scripps Health Foundation at 760633-6888 or wilson.emily@ scrippshealth.org to be added to the waitlist.

Wife/author shares her caregiver experience in new book By Ashley Mackin Writer and part-time local resident Susan Allen Toth asserts that grief and loss are part of everyone’s life, and if you’re lucky, so are love and joy. Toth experienced all this and more during her years caring for her husband, architect James Stageberg, through the end of his life. She documents their day-to-day trials in a new book, “No Saints Around Here: A Caregiver’s Days.” “This is supposed to be a gift to other caregivers, because it was a gift for me to be able to write about it,” Toth said. “This is not a how-to, this is a how it was for me.” Her husband passed away in 2010, a decade after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and later dementia. “In the last 18 months, when I knew I was looking down the dark tunnel, to help myself I turned to occasionally writing about topics I was coming across,” she explained. The essay chapters in the book are dated. “It’s the book I wanted to have after everyone gave me books like ‘how caregiving made me a better person’ and I’d be thinking, ‘this is not what being a caregiver is about.” Instead, Toth said being a caregiver is about love. “I don’t know how people do this if they don’t really love the person,” she said. Of caring for her late husband, she added, “I would do this again in a heartbeat, but I’m glad I don’t have to.” A contagious grin comes across Toth’s face when she talks about James’ “irresistible” smile, which shines back at her from a photo on her bedside.

Del Mar Foundation supports ‘Birdwing’ project with $20,000 grant The Board of Directors of the Del Mar Foundation voted unanimously to approve a $20,000 grant to the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the San Dieguito River Park, sponsors of the Birdwing Open Air Classroom project. The project, called “Birdwing” for its architecturally dramatic shade structure, is an amphitheater-style outdoor space along the Coast-to-Crest Trail just off I-5 and Via de la Valle. It will allow the San Dieguito River Park to expand its school programs and serve as a gathering place for all people to learn about and enjoy lagoon habitats. The grand opening of Birdwing will be held on May 13. Anyone wishing to make a donation toward this project may contact the Del Mar Foundation at 858-635-1363. The Del Mar Foundation has a longstanding commitment to the San Dieguito Lagoon. This includes management of more than $600,000 in endowment funds. These funds ensure future maintenance of the Lagoon’s recent wetlands restoration, and enables grants for educational programs to help children and adults alike appreciate this key Del Mar open space and its vital importance to our region’s ecology. The Del Mar Foundation promotes community cohesiveness, raises and grants funds, preserves open space, improves beaches and parklands, sponsors diverse cultural programs, and manages $2 million in endowment funds to benefit the greater Del Mar community and the San Dieguito Lagoon. Programs include the Summer Twilight Concerts, Cultural Arts concerts and First Thursdays, diverse Children’s events, Meet & Greets and DMF Talks speaker’s series.

‘Friends of Gonzales Canyon’ organization seeks volunteers, clean-up event to be held April 26 By Karen Billing The Friends of Gonzales Canyon group is looking for local residents to come out and learn more about the resource that is right in their backyards. On Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to noon, the Friends will host a clean-up as part of I Love A Clean San Diego’s Creek to Bay annual event. Volunteers will help remove some old chain link fencing from alongside the trail and thinning eucalyptus saplings from near the Sword Way trailhead. Freddy Arthur, the captain of the Friends of Gonzales Canyon, hopes people will attend the event and continue to stay involved. Young children can get involved with litter pick-up and light weeding, older kids and adults can assist with larger projects led by group leaders and park rangers, including repairs to trails and fencing. “We are looking for volunteers who want to come out to a really special place and spend at least three hours making it even better,” Arthur said. “We are looking for rare individuals that will take a leadership role in making Friends of Gonzales Canyon an active and effective group for stewardship and enhancement of the canyon.” The canyon pops with wildflowers in the spring and several trails wind through to provide a natural escape. Gonzales stretches from communities around Torrey Pines High School out to Old El Camino Real and east to Pacific Highlands Ranch. Arthur said Gonzales Canyon is special for its wide variety of habitats in a relatively small area. Plant communities include maritime succulent scrub and chaparral, all surrounding a lush strip of riparian woodlands with

The Sycamore Trail in Gonzales Canyon. willows, sycamores and marshes that provide water for the abundant canyon wildlife. Arthur said trail users should know there is some poison oak in the riparian areas, as well, and should learn what it looks like each season. “Several trails meander through the canyon and are open to dogs to leash, hikers, horses and

mountain bikes,” Arthur said. The Torrey Pines Loop Trail, accessed off the trailhead near Torrey Highlands Park off Lansdale Drive, is the most challenging with 3.5 miles of sometimes steep terrain. The Sword Way Trail is about two miles of level trail and it can be extended by taking a detour to the Lagoon Trail that winds through the western end of the canyon. San Diego Canyonlands staff has been working with the city’s open space park rangers and community members to care for Gonzales since 2006. “Our open spaces are a priceless resource in a rapidly developing area,” said Eric Bowlby, director

of San Diego Canyonlands. “San Diego County has more threatened and endangered species than any other county in the contiguous United States and many of those species are dependent on our local canyons for habitat.” Bowlby said while park rangers keep an eye on these areas, they need volunteer help with trail improvements and restoration projects and to keep people aware of concerns within the canyons. There are over 150 canyons throughout urban San Diego and San Diego Canyonlands has several Friends groups that promote their mission to protect and restore the natural habitats by fostering education and community involvement, stewardship and advocacy. Last year, SDCL capped a three-year mission to get nearly 6,600 acres of city-owned canyons and open space dedicated for permanent protection, an act supported by the Carmel Valley, Del Mar Mesa, Torrey Pines and Torrey Hills’ Community Planning boards. Now that the canyons have become dedicated land, a city-wide vote must be held to use the land for non-park or non-open space purposes. As part of the dedication and planning for the future, the canyon has been going through a Canyon Enhancement Planning Program. “We will be focusing in the coming months to increase local knowledge about the canyon through guided hikes and to foster stewardship with monthly cleanup events, trail work days and restoration projects,” said Arthur. Two Mesa College interns are in the final stages of mapping the existing conditions in Gonzales and community planning workshops to develop an action plan will begin in June. Arthur said he hopes residents will get involved in this important process. To register for the April 26 cleanup, the Gonzales Canyon site is listed under North County Inland, Zone 2 at CreekToBay.org. Register or simply show up that morning ready to have fun in the canyon. If interested in joining Friends of Gonzales Canyon, email Freddy Arthur at freddy@SDCanyonlands.org. Those interested in getting out on the trails can find a complete trail map on the San Diego Parks and Recreation website: sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/pdf/gonzalestrailmap. pdf

Andre and Thomas Ohno-Machado. Courtesy photo have Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten from them.â&#x20AC;? Ohno-Machadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to raise awareness for autism can be traced to both the local and national level. While at Torrey Pines, he founded the Autism Awareness Club because when he arrived at high school, OhnoMachado â&#x20AC;&#x153;was thinking of doing something philanthropic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew a lot of my friends hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even heard of autism, and the ones that did didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much. Plus, I view autsim as a sub-topic of the larger one of treating people equally.â&#x20AC;? The club was active throughout Ohno-Machadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time at Torrey Pines, whether it was attending charity events, holding fundraisers, or volunteering. One highlight was bringing to TPHS guest speaker Peter Jensen, whose autistic son (who attended Torrey Pines) perished during the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. In addition, Ohno-Machado has traveled to Washington, DC, multiple times to meet with California Senator Barbra Boxer (D) to advocate for better government funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was doing some research and saw that funding was a big issue; some of the numbers are absurd to look at,â&#x20AC;? Ohno-Machado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote a bunch of emails to public officials and got some responses, including from Senator Boxerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff. The first time I met her was nerve-wracking for me, but this year my public speaking got a lot better. It was a great experience, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still learning more about it every day.â&#x20AC;? Throughout his advocacy, Ohno-Machado is still helping his brother Andre (who currently attends the Institute for Effective Education in Mission Hills) cope with the disorder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andre has his ups and downs. Right now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing well and likes biking and swimming. We always try to keep him active and on a healthy diet.â&#x20AC;? As for the progress Autism Awareness has made in the past few years, Ohno-Machado says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice to seeâ&#x20AC;? but more can always be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main reason for the extra awareness is that rates have been going up so quickly. More and more people are being affected by it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a lot of progress to be made in the autism and mental disability area, especially with vocabulary and the way people are portrayed in the media. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to be done, and I hope that happens sooner than later.â&#x20AC;?

By Rob LeDonne April is Autism Awareness Month and one person who no doubt is taking part in awareness activities is Thomas Ohno-Machado, a 2013 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, who is currently attending UC Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autism affects people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help themselves and have no voice because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silenced by a great majority of people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through,â&#x20AC;? Ohno-Machado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important because the rates are increasing and people will know at least one person in their lifetime who has autism. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most common developmental disorder right now.â&#x20AC;? Autism is close to Ohno-Machadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart for many reasons, mainly because his middle brother, Andre, has the disorder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was diagnosed when he was just 1 and a half,â&#x20AC;? remembers Ohno-Machado. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I first learned about autism by attending group sessions for young kids with siblings that have it.â&#x20AC;? Andreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis took the family by surprise, especially Andre and Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother, Lucila, who is currently the associate dean for informatics for the UC San Diego School of Medicine, and professor and chief of the Division of Biomedical Informatics in the Department of Medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a learning experience for all of us. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big difference from studying something on the outside to experiencing it inside your own family,â&#x20AC;? Ohno-Machado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was completely new to how things work. You can talk about numbers, statistics and medicines all day, but what it really comes down to is how autism impacts not only the person, but the people around them. My parents understand that well, and all the values I

Patriot Profiles: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a human game of chessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; This column presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patriot Profilesâ&#x20AC;? to provide readers insight into the lives of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes. By Jeanne McKinney A cleared, mud-walled compound serving as a battlement suddenly explodes with gunfire. A Marine Infantryman peers through the high-powered scope of his M-16 A4 rifle, but can only see so far across a field of dry poppies. He sees a person with a gun in hand on the roof of a concrete bunker. Senses skyrocket among a Marine platoon of Golf Company 2nd Battalion 5th Marines (2/5) as all position to return fire. Squad leader Sergeant Bryan Barrow has his hands full keeping his team in focus, not to mention protecting a civilian cameraman trying to get footage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on right now, Sgt. Barrow?â&#x20AC;? asked the cameraman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going man? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on is get down,â&#x20AC;? yells Barrow as he pulls the guy down behind a wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing that, brother. People get killed if you do that.â&#x20AC;? Such is real combat that was captured in National Geographicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battleground Afghanistan,â&#x20AC;? a 2013 TV series. Barrow, along with six other Marine leaders of Golf Company 2/5, were picked to help detail taking the fight to the enemy during Operation Branding Iron. Their mission was to locate and destroy a certain list of Taliban insurgents and crush crucial opium operations that fund the war against America.

Exercise SSang Yong 2014. Photo by Cpl. Henry Antenor (USMC). Barrow says the hardest part was just as the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; narrator said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like chasing ghosts.â&#x20AC;? They knew the Taliban had a stronghold in Zamindawar, known as the most dangerous place in Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they [the command] wanted to send us there. Of course, we had the best CO to do that, Captain [Ben] Middendorf. He was all about it. We were mostly trying to take out their main command.â&#x20AC;? At age 4, Barrow was adopted in St. Louis, Mo., then in 1998 moved with his family to Bisbee, Ariz. After graduating from high school, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw everyone else going to college and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never really followed the crowd,â&#x20AC;? says Barrow. He wanted a challenge and was curious. Family Marine Corps history helped influence his thoughts to sign up.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make my adopted dad a little more proud of me.â&#x20AC;? Barrow didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to join the Marine Corps to sit behind a desk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to join what they say is the elite fighting force of the country, if not the world, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you join the fight?â&#x20AC;? says Barrow, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people join the Infantry because they want to go to war. They want to do the gun fighting and come back home with honor and be able to tell their family all the crazy stuff they did.â&#x20AC;? Al Anbar, Iraq, 2007, was Barrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first

We Are Buying ...Immediate Cash Paid

deployment at age 19, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got into one or two firefights that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that heavy or crazy, but it was enough to make people think different than normal.â&#x20AC;? Exposure to combat, culture shock, and a different work ethic changed how he thought and operated from then on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already deadâ&#x20AC;? is a mindset Barrow latched on to help take away the fear of dying. His first company commander explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you already picture yourself as a dead man, it makes you that much more dangerous to your enemy.â&#x20AC;? He also told Barrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bravo Company that while they are home on leave before deployment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enjoy your time with your family, but I want you to think of what your enemy is doing right now. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have vacation time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the whole time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re preparing.â&#x20AC;? Preparation and testing were evident to Barrow and fellow Marines in Iraq. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have ways to do about anything they wantâ&#x20AC;Śdown to as simple as throwing a rock at a soldier or Marine and see how they react. A main concern for us was vehicle-borne IEDS.â&#x20AC;? They would drive behind patrols and ignore orders to stop, pushing how far they could go before someone pointed a weapon or shot off a warning pyrotechnic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to go through so many steps

before we could fire one round â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how careful our command would always want to be utilizing rounds in civilian situations. This guy could simply be testing how close they can get to usâ&#x20AC;Śit helps them determine how big they want to make their vehicle-borne IED.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tested us every day,â&#x20AC;? Barrow said while thinking back to the time he was fighting the enemy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They knew what the capabilities were of our scopes on our weapons. They knew about how far out we could see. They are always figuring out new ways to adapt to what we are doing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a human game of chess.â&#x20AC;? In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Battleground Afghanistan,â&#x20AC;? Barrow and his platoon were shown traversing open ground, exposed to the enemy who are able to shoot through small openings in compounds called â&#x20AC;&#x153;murder holes.â&#x20AC;? Barrow says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scared, nervous, anxious, excited, determined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even thankful that after each step you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost a leg yet or seen anyone in front or behind you lose a leg or even hear about it over the radio happening to another person. You have to be confident in what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not, the enemy will see that because they are always watching you.â&#x20AC;? Barrow, nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;bulldogâ&#x20AC;? in the TV series, affirms, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lose any guys.â&#x20AC;? Control can be hard-won for a squad leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half the time you have to fight your own guys before you can fight the enemy,â&#x20AC;? says Barrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the chaotic atmosphere unearths itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rears its face - youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in what we call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the rush of thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in enemy contact. Marines that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so experienced can be a little all over the place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; freak out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we do so much training before we go.â&#x20AC;? How much is skill and how much instinct? Barrow says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely fluctuates.â&#x20AC;? During their first Branding Iron engagement, his interpreter shared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a bad feeling about this.â&#x20AC;? Platoon leader Lt. Neal Jones, who travelled with Barrow said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How much do you want to bet weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get shot at right now?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the betâ&#x20AC;?, says Barrow, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure enough, a few steps later we got shot at.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most intense [challenge] is being shot at and not knowing where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming from and not knowing when and if you can shoot back.â&#x20AC;? Barrow learned Arabic, enough to understand and get his points across. Yet he could never be sure if he was talking to friend or enemy. After two weeks of fighting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taliban ghostsâ&#x20AC;? Barrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platoon claimed mission success without any losses. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better reward for Barrow than calling the people he serves with â&#x20AC;&#x153;brothers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would do more for them than I would a blood brother, because of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done together and been through.â&#x20AC;? Barrow gets antsy talking about his life on the combat side with civilians who he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;hear him, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t See PATRIOT, page A23

By Ashley Mackin Local resident Gaston Farinas is one of two winners in the San Diego Total Career Makeover contest. He was recognized at an April 8 seminar at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. During the contest, launched in January, San Diegans having difficulty gaining employment applied for a makeover that includes new clothes to wear to job interviews and individual training on how to land a job. The second winner is Lamia Merabet of San Diego, who often applied for jobs at UC San Diego. Abby Kohut, a corporate recruiter of almost 20 years, created the contest in 2011 and hosts them in cities across the United States. To find local makeover applicants, she partnered with The Boardroom San Diego, a jobsearch resource, support and networking group for those experiencing a job loss and/or career change. The Boardroom meets Tuesdays at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. “I’ve hired 10,000 people in my career,” Kohut said. “But you know what a recruiter will tell you after you don’t get a job and call to ask ‘why didn’t I get the job?’ Nothing. So for 18 years, I’ve been telling people nothing. I knew why people weren’t getting jobs and I wanted to tell them (why).” So she started the contest in New Jersey with the intent of giving participants tools to improve upon the specific things that were preventing them from getting a job. The first two winners landed a career one month and two months after their makeovers, respectively. She has since held the contest in more than 20 cities. Those from San Diego hoping for a career makeover submitted statements and photos online. Those that have participated in career makeover

Total Career Makeover winners Gaston Farinas and Lamia Merabet. contests in other cities, as well as those that support The Boardroom San Diego, were invited to vote for who they felt were most deserving of a makeover. The winners will receive personal coaching in how to handle phone and in-person interviews, a copy of Kohut’s book “Absolutely Abby’s 101 Job Search Secrets” and access to five teleseminars. They also received a physical makeover – including hair styling and clothes to wear at job interviews with tips on how to dress – that was unveiled at the La Jolla event. After announcing the winners and showing the “before” photos, Kohut brought them out post-makeover and introduced stylist Melissa Murray. Hoping to help all those in attendance, Murray explained what she did to their looks and why. After the makeover unveiling, Kohut proceeded to offer general advice to everyone in attendance. However, Farinas and Merabet will receive individual attention to address specific behaviors that might be hindering them in their job search. For Merabet, who reported having five multipleround interviews at UC San Diego in the clinical trial science and medical writing fields, the training will focus on a change in confidence. Despite have a master’s degree in Pharmacology, a MBA in Healthcare Administration and experience in clinical research, she has had no luck landing a job in three years. Merabet said she took a part-time job in Orange County, and the three-hour commute that came with it. Even with her credentials, she reports feeling “awkward and obsessed” with her appearance and Algerian accent. Kohut said she hopes to help Merabet “be comfortable in her own skin.” For Farinas, who spent much of his career working in telecommunications management, the focus will be “getting his mojo back,” Kohut said. Last year, Farinas lost his job due to reorganization, and said he needs to learn how to present himself at interviews. After experiencing his job loss, he said in his entrance statement, “I have focused on family, spirituality and community relations, I feel I am a stronger person that can bring even more to a company. My will and determination to succeed and build bridges over barriers has been amplified. It is now my turn to land my dream job.” The Boardroom San Diego meets 8 a.m. Tuesdays with a speaker focused on different job-landing skills at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave., La Jolla.

By Kristina Houck Betty Ann Hoehn remembers riding in the back of the bus as a young child. It wasn’t by choice. She couldn’t sit in the front when she traveled with Corinne, her African-American nanny. Born in 1954, Hoehn grew up in Memphis, Tenn. The Del Mar author shares memories of her childhood in the segregated South in her newly released memoir, “One River, Two Oceans and Raindrops in Between: My Journey through Life, Love and Recovery.” “I was raised by a black woman. Even though it’s a memoir and touches on many topics of my life, Corinne is the spiritual thread throughout the entire book,” Hoehn said. “It’s a story of an abiding friendship that crossed racial lines — the unbreakable bond that we had.” Corinne raised Hoehn from the time she was 5 until she went off to college. “She was an educated woman. She had a college education, but because of her color, she could not get a job beyond being a nanny,” Hoehn said. “She was a very strong, amazing woman.” “One River, Two Oceans and Raindrops in Between” captures the pair’s relationship. It is the second edition to Hoehn’s first book, “Corinne and Me: An Unlikely Friendship,” which was released in 2011. In addition to a new title, the second edition includes roughly 90 extra pages. “I had never written a book and really didn’t know what to do the first time,” said Hoehn, noting she used AuthorHouse, a self-publishing service that cut 70 pages of her original manuscript. “I just wasn’t happy with it. “The whole story was really important to me, and I thought it would be important to the reader.”

Betty Ann Hoehn

The book, which Hoehn has worked on since 2007, also explores addiction and loss. For years, Hoehn watched family members succumb to alcohol addiction. After losing her mother and going through a divorce in the early 1990s, she also battled the disease. “It’s a story of unconditional love, it’s a story of hope, it’s a story of fighting and overcoming addiction, it’s a story of friendship,” Hoehn said. “It’s a story of life and death.” Corinne raised Hoehn from 1959 to 1974. Hoehn went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Bowdoin College in 1976 and later earn a master’s from the University of Memphis in 1997. She moved to San Diego in 1977, and has lived in Del Mar since 1999. A former adjunct professor of art history at the University of San Diego, she currently serves as an art history guest lecturer at local museums, as well as the Betty Ford Center. Corinne died in the late 1980s. Hoehn last saw her nearly 30 years ago, in 1986, when she introduced her then 4-year-old daughter and nearly 2-year-old son to her longtime friend. “It’s a story of Corinne’s influence on my life,” said Hoehn, now 60 years old. “It’s really through her spirit that I’ve overcome different obstacles in my life.” “One River, Two Oceans and Raindrops in Between” is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Canyon Crest volleyball alum now a star player at Pepperdine By Rob LeDonne Samantha Cash was only 11 years old when she started playing volleyball, and during those early days she freely admits now she had little skill. “When I first started playing, I was so bad,” she remembers. “The team I was on was absolutely terrible. We were last in the county, and barely won a game. However, it was a great experience because we were all having fun.” Cash, a 2011 graduate of Canyon Crest Academy, has come a long way from her humble beginnings playing the sport. She’s currently not only a star player for Pepperdine University’s volleyball team, but can currently be found in the Pepperdine record books. “I don’t pay attention to any of the accolades, but I’m pretty sure my mom does,” she said from the school’s Los Angeles-area campus. As a middle blocker for the team, Cash has a hitting percentage of .322, a feat that ranks her tied for eighth in the Pepperdine record book. “My hitting percentage I do follow, because I’m always trying to beat it,” said Cash. “I’ll beat it next year.” Cash honed her volleyball skills all over North County; she’s played for various club teams (including Coast Volleyball Club), and was also a major part of Canyon Crest’s women’s volleyball team. “School volleyball (compared to club) is so much fun because as competitive as it is, it’s a social thing,” Cash explains. “You see your teammates every day at school, and then you practice and play together. Mostly it was a lot of us being great friends. I still keep tabs on the games, but I wish I could go back to see them more often.” These days, Cash’s time is consumed by her hectic volleyball and academic schedule at Pepperdine (where she’s a film major). “When I was first looking at schools, I had a list of every single college I was thinking about and weighed them based on how their academics and volleyball was,” Cash says. “They were one of the schools that had both. I was intimidated at first, but my first season was one of the dream seasons you hear about. We went all the way to Elite 8, and traveled to Hawaii for the championships.” Pepperdine didn’t end up taking home the main prize, but at the end of the season Cash was named the West Coast Conference’s “Freshman of the Year.” “I don’t know why, but throughout the years I seem to get better at playing,” Cash explains. “I was the kind of girl that would always go to extra practices, and I was a gym rat. When I was younger and getting pretty good at it,

it makes you want to continue and push harder.” From here on out, Cash has lofty goals. After taking this upcoming summer off to live with her sister in France (in what will be a rare break from playing), she’s looking forward to her senior year playing for Pepperdine which starts in August. However, once her senior season ends she doesn’t want that to be the last of her time on the court. “My life goal is to graduate, go play professionally, then win a gold medal at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020,” Cash explains. “Based on my age and timing, that could be my best shot at making the team.”

By Kristina Houck For 18 years, Juvenile Court Book Club has offered books as an outlet to youth in San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detention facilities. And for nearly 18 years, local resident Christina Fink has supported the entirely volunteer-driven nonprofitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts. Currently serving as a founding board member and chair of the Book Selection Committee, Fink is also past president and site coordinator of Polinsky Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for the organization. Juvenile Court Book Club recognized Fink for her service with a Literacy Hero Award during its annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on April 11 at the Bay View Restaurant in San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very nice,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very honored.â&#x20AC;? Founded in 1996, Juvenile Court Book Club offers literacy programs at San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth detention facilities. Volunteers work with teachers, probation staff and other employees in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Juvenile Court and Community Schools to create an annual book club curriculum to enhance the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public high school English curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of book programs for detainees, but they entail donating the books to the facility and putting them on a cart and dragging them around,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is different. This is a shared

reading experience. You share community. You share ideas and concepts and discussion.â&#x20AC;? Students gather monthly with volunteers to discuss the books, which serve as a springboard for discussions of real-life challenges, experiences and issues that are relevant to students in detention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ideas that are embedded in them from having gone through this book is just like going through a therapy session,â&#x20AC;? Fink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they enter a book and when they come out a book â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the same person. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to re-enter the community as a different person. For those reasons, our books are carefully selected.â&#x20AC;? Fink began working with the organization as a volunteer reader when her daughter was 9 and her son was 7 years old. She recalled reading to and with her children as they grew up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonderful connection with the kids. We were able to talk about stories and characters. Even now, they recommend books to me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like anything else you share â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shared experience, and I really enjoyed that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That led me to realize that there were other kids that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting that shared reading experience.â&#x20AC;? Today, Finkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children are out of college. They still share a love of reading,

New Gateway property sign encourages campaign-end donations •San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy seeks to finalize land acquisition The latest sign on the Gateway property was recently installed to remind residents and visitors in North County that the land is secure — but not yet saved. It’s not too late for donors to lend their name and support. The Gateway property is a small yet critical piece of open space tucked between Solana Beach and San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, just east of Cardiff Seaside Beach and along Scenic Highway 101. “We are nearing our goal of securing this land for open space in perpetuity,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist for San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. “We took a risk in 2011 reaching out to our supporters for a loan to purchase the property. With the conservancy’s expertise in successful land acquisitions, they knew it was the right decision.” To-date, the conservancy has raised $3.4 million in gifts and pledges from more than 1,100 donors toward the goal of $3.75 million to permanently acquire the property. For decades, Gateway was the site of numerous hotel and condominium proposals. A succession of story poles on the property outlined various commercial plans. The community rallied to defeat each development scheme, knowing that construction on Gateway would eliminate one of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean that could be enjoyed in coastal North County. In 2011 the property went into foreclosure. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy secured loans to place the winning bid to purchase Gateway for $3.75 million. Acquiring

bird, Bewick’s Wren, and Cooper’s Hawk. Once acquired, new trails will connect the Coastal Rail Trail with San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. Gateway will be restored with native plants that will enhance the scenery and provide enriched habitat for wildlife. Sitting areas will provide unobstructed views of the coast, surf, and setting sun from Seaside Beach to Swami’s. A stone and mosaic decorative welcome trail entrance is in design with local artist Betsy Schulz, who also created the Solana Beach rail trail entrance and Del Mar Library retaining wall, among other notable projects. Community members can be part of this historic The Campaign for Gateway Park by contributing so that the property can be conserved forever. Each gift helps save a part of California’s coastal heritage.

In 2012, former San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price presented Retman-Opper with a proclamation from the county for her efforts to preserve the Gateway property. She also received a volunteer

recognition award from the California Park and Recreation Society. “I’ve traveled a lot around the world, but I’m always happy to come home,” said Retman-Opper. “You can really reach people here. You can actually make change.”

To your health: ‘Belly Button’ hysterectomy now a reality By Bruce Kahn, M.D., Scripps Health One inch. Now that’s all it takes to perform a hysterectomy. Thanks to recent improvements in robotic surgery technology, it is now possible that an entire hysterectomy—surgical removal of the uterus— can be completed through a one-inch incision hidden in the belly button. This new technique, referred to as “single-site” hysterectomy because only the single incision is needed, will truly provide “scarless” surgery for many patients. Hysterectomy is the most common gynecologic surgery in the United States; by age 60, more than one third of all women will have undergone the procedure. This is due to the fact that hysterectomy is often the recommended treatment for numerous reproductive issues when more conservative treatments, such as medications, have been unsuccessful. Hysterectomy may be necessary for conditions including uterine or

cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, menstrual disorders or severe endometriosis, a painful condition which occurs when uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus. In the U.S., approximately 600,000 women have a hysterectomy each year. In the past, a hysterectomy traditionally required open surgery with a large incision in the lower abdominal area, a minimum of several days in the hospital, and an extended recovery period that included several weeks of rest. Pain could be significant and, as with any open surgery, there were greater risks of complications such as bleeding and infection. In many cases, traditional open surgery has been replaced by laparoscopic (and robotic) surgery that requires several small incisions placed in the abdomen instead of a large incision. Several thin instruments, along with a video camera attached to a telescope, are inserted through the incisions. The camera transmits

an image of the internal organs onto a television monitor, and the surgeon uses the image as a guide. This type of minimally invasive surgery has fewer risks than open surgery and provides additional benefits such as reduced length of surgery, less pain, less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay and recovery time, and lower cost. However, it does result in several small scars. Single-site robotic hysterectomy provides all of the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, but in most cases will leave no visible scar at all. Robotic surgery provides several other advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery as well. These include a true 3-D view of the surgical field and more precise replication of the surgeon’s hand motions. Singlesite robotic technology uses curved tubes which allow surgeons to operate from several angles using just one insertion site. In traditional laparoscopic surgery, this approach would cause the surgeon to have “crossed

hands”; the surgeon’s left hand would operate the instrument viewed on the right side of the surgical field and vice versa. This is very difficult to do and is the main reason single-site surgery has not been more widely used until now. The robotic computer system can “flip” right-hand and left-hand instrument control, so that during surgery, the instrument viewed on the right can now be controlled by the right hand and the instrument on the left can be controlled by the left hand. When the surgeon is operating at the robotic console, it is truly like having tiny hands in the operating field. This allows more precise and safer tissue dissection, and is one key to allowing the surgery to proceed smoothly. As the technology continues to improve and more surgeons are trained in robotic surgery, single-site hysterectomy should become more widely available, but it is not yet an option for every patient. For example, patients who have significant scarring, adhesions or large fibroids may require several small incisions instead of just one. However, as this technology matures, more surgeons and more patients will be able to take advantage of this procedure. Bruce Kahn, M.D., is an OB/GYN with Scripps and director of the Scripps Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Frontline: Cancer

Exploring the link between obesity and cancer By Scott M. Lippman More than two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese, which comes with a long and heavy list of associated health risks, among them: coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes — and cancer. An ever-growing number of studies show that packing on excess pounds increases the risk for cancer, most notably colon, pancreas, kidney, thyroid, breast, endometrial (uterine), esophageal and gallbladder. The numbers are alarming and likely to worsen. In 2007, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimated that 34,000 new cases of cancer in men (4 percent of the annual total) were due to obesity. For women, it was 50,500 news cases or 7 percent of the total. If obesity trends continue, the NCI projects roughly 500,000 additional cases of obesity-caused cancer by 2030. Cancer is already the nation’s second most common cause of death after heart disease, killing more than 585,000 Americans each year. A bulging obesity rate gives it a better shot at becoming the number one killer. It’s difficult to say how exactly obesity fits into the cancer-causing equation. It’s a complex disease. Each cancer patient is different, with his or her own unique biology and environmental exposures. Nonetheless, several biological mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association. • Fat tissues produce excess amounts of estrogen and high levels of this hormone have been linked to greater risk of breast, endometrial and other cancers. • Obese people often have increased levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 in their blood, which may promote development of certain tumors. • Fat cells produce

Dr. Scott Lippman hormones called adipokines that may abnormally stimulate cell growth. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of cell growth run amok. Fat cells may also directly or indirectly affect other regulators of tumor growth. •Obese people often suffer from chronic, low-level inflammation, which is associated with increased cancer risk. Indeed, Michael Karin, PhD, distinguished professor of pharmacology and pathology at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and a faculty member at Moores Cancer Center, and others have shown that obesity-induced inflammation promotes development of liver cancer, the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. • Other possible mechanisms include altered immune responses and oxidative stress. Does losing weight lower cancer risk? The answer would seem to be yes, but again it’s hard to know with certainty. Research has demonstrated that weight loss reduces the risk of developing diabetes and improves risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Studies of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery to lose substantial amounts of weight show they have lower rates of obesity-related cancers than similar obese patients who have not had the surgery. But unlike, say, tobacco consumption and lung cancer, there is no smoking gun that inextricably and indisputably links obesity

to cancer. Not yet, at least. These efforts continue with scores of studies. For example, a team led by Ruth Patterson, Ph.D., director of the Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer center at Moores, is conducting a randomized trial testing the impact of weight loss versus metformin (an antidiabetic agent) on breast cancer recurrence using a design to link changes in metabolic health to breast cancer risk. The study is part of a larger program sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. Eventually, I believe definitive answers will be found, or the steady accumulation of studies linking obesity and cancer will overwhelm any contradictory opinions. In the meantime, researchers from the San Diego Prevention Research Center at San Diego State University (SDSU) and from Moores Cancer Center are pursuing proactive remedies, such as operating free physical activity classes in different communities. At 34 percent, San Diego County has a high prevalence of obesity. Rates are even higher next door in Imperial County, particularly among children (47 percent overweight or obese compared to 38 percent for all of California). These children are the focus of a Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration study, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and headed by Guadalupe X. Ayala, Ph.D., MPH, a Moores Cancer Center member at SDSU. The study is testing whether a whole-child approach to preventing and controlling obesity can change the next generation’s life expectancy. Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in the La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu.

Rant with Randi: MAGCON BY RANDI CRAWFORD Most of you reading this will have no idea what I’m talking about. Let’s start here. Do you have a teenage daughter? Does she watch Vine videos? (Vine is a social media App that let’s you take 5-second videos). I do and she does. A few weeks ago, my daughter shoves her cell phone in my face and asks me to input my credit card information as fast as I can because we only have a few seconds to buy tickets, and I blindly did so. Apparently, we were buying MAGCON tickets and this was a huge coup because they sell out fast. What is MAGCON you ask? I’ll try and enlighten you. Last Saturday, we arrived at the hotel downtown, to a line a mile-long of 1,000 teenage girls (I would like to point out that the majority of them were not with their parents). I don’t know about you, but I’m not that mom. Let’s talk clothes. The girls were wearing short shorts with their cheeks hanging out, strappy sandals and half shirts with their bellies showing. Nice job moms? The security guard was screaming at us for no reason and I felt like a cow in the herd waiting to be zapped with a cattle prod. We waited for at least an hour. Why weren’t they letting us go in already? I had absolutely no idea what I was in for. Was this a concert? Were these kids going to perform? It took me a good 6 hours to figure it all out, but I finally dialed in. I learned that MAGCON stands for Meet and Greet Conference. We walked into a gigantic ballroom with a tiny stage. On

the stage was Mahogany the DJ who jammed tunes all night while thousands of girls danced their booties off having the time of their life. The first thing I did was walk to the back of the room and sit on the floor (carpeted), by one of the few other moms in the joint, and we became fast friends. The two of us kept waiting to see what was going to happen, and nothing ever did. I finally saw a mom who looked like she knew something so I walked over to her and here is our conversation: Me, “Can you tell me what we are doing here”? Her, “Just go with it. I’m Jack and Jack’s mom.” Me, “You have two sons named Jack”? Her, “No, Jack and Jack have been best friends since they were in kindergarten and they make funny Vine videos.” Me, “Oh, so your son is one of the kids that my daughter is here to see?” Her, “Yes. We’re from Omaha, Nebraska, and the boys’ videos went viral and now they have 3 million followers and they’re famous.” Me, “What exactly do they do?” And then her entourage called her away.

OBITUARIES

William Charles “Bil” Brown Betty Jeanne Brown 1920 – 2014 1921 – 2013

In 1956 and 1957, after two years of planning with another family, Bil, Betty, Bil’s mother and his 11 year old son rafted down four major whitewater rivers, documenting it all on ﬁlm. Bil put together an exciting 20 minute travelogue that became a hit on the Rotary Club circuit around Southern California. A photo of them also appeared in the April 1957 National Geographic magazine. Bil was a life-long member of Rotary International with many great achievements while serving in various leadership roles. He was an active member of The Adventurers Club for many years and was instrumental in establishing the local branch of The Explorers Club. Betty was much more than a housewife. She was an equal partner in their relationship and Bil often credited her for much of his success. For those that knew them, this was

certain. Bil was known as the dreamer, while Betty was the realist. They complemented each other perfectly and have now passed on to The Great Adventure together. Bil and Betty are survived by their two children, Kent and Kristi; five grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren who have all been influenced by their wisdom and love. The family would like to thank the staff at Casa de las Campanas for all their care and support to our family. Services will be held on Friday, April 18, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. at the Rosecrans National Cemetery, 1800 Cabrillo Memorial Dr., San Diego, CA 92106. In lieu of flowers, we ask that all memorial donations be made to Rotary International, www. rotary.org/en/give. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ pomeradonews.

She was a school secretary, pre-school teacher, mother, housewife and a community volunteer. She is survived by her daughter, Candace (Bill) Badiner; sons, Jim (Anne) and Robert (Sandy) Harriman; grandchildren, Drew Adams, John Adams,

Jill Bowen, June Hood, Jim Harriman Jr., Jay Harriman, Lesly Easson and Tom Harriman; many greatgrandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. Graveside services will be held as she is laid to rest next to her late husband, E. L. Harriman, at Alta Mesa Memorial Park in Palo Alto, CA 94306. In lieu of ﬂowers, the family requests donations be made to “Scholarship Fund” for special needs children: Sycamore Lane Therapeutic Riding Center, 13921 S. Clackamas River Drive, P.O.

Bil Brown passed away peacefully on March 31, 2014, at the age of 93, and has joined his loving wife, Betty Jeanne Brown, in Heaven. Betty passed away on September 15, 2013, in San Diego, CA. Their life together was a beautiful love story. They celebrated 70 wonderful years of

marriage. Bil was born on November 17, 1920, in Peoria, Illinois, to Raymond and Josephine Brown. Betty was born on January 22, 1921, in Maquoketa, Iowa, to Cecil and Beulah Smith. Bil met Betty Jeanne Smith in high school and they were married in May of 1943 before relocating to San Diego where Bil was stationed. He served in the Paciﬁc as a navy pilot during WWII. After the war, Bil and Betty settled in the San Fernando Valley where Bil became a real estate broker and started Showcase Properties which specialized in the sale of luxury homes and estates. In the early 1970s, Bil sold his business and was very successful as a property developer/broker until his retirement in 1983. Bil always had an adventurous spirit. As a young adult, he traveled throughout Mexico on his own and learned to ﬂy before joining the Navy.

Accomplished playwright happy to be back at North Coast Rep in Solana Beach By Kristina Houck Lionel Goldstein never wanted to be a playwright. In fact, he spent decades being just about everything but a playwright. From electrician and hairdresser, to antique silver dealer and slot machine repairman, Goldstein held a series of jobs in multiple fields before entering the arts. “I didn’t want to do it at all,” said the 78-year-old British writer, whose “Mandate Memories” made its world premiere April 9 at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. Goldstein started writing short stories at age 19. He wrote his first novel in his 20s, and three more in his 30s. He reluctantly became a playwright when executives at the BBC asked him to adapt his second novel, “The Executioner,” into a play for television. “I sent them an outline and they wanted me to write a play,” he recalled. “I resisted. I said, ‘I don’t have a play, I don’t want to write a play and I’m not a playwright.’” After a bit of persuasion, he eventually took on the job. The BBC produced the play in 1980. Nearly 35 years later, Goldstein, 78, recently introduced his latest work to

North Coast Rep. A two-person drama set in an old house in Berkshire, England, “Mandate Memories” follows Gustav Frolich, an 80-year-old Jewish Holocaust survivor, and Jane Stirling, a 62-year-old English widow. Frolich wants to share something with Stirling, but she isn’t receptive because Jewish terrorists killed the father she never knew during the days of the British Mandate for Palestine. While the play is set in 2009, its title is derived from the era of Middle East history just before the 1948 founding of Israel. Although its characters and story do not come from his own memories, the play somewhat brings Goldstein full circle to his childhood. As a child, he and his family evacuated London several times during World War II. “The play is really about redemption and how people react when they’re confronted with completely different circumstances — when ordinary people are changed by extraordinary events,” Goldstein said. This isn’t the first time Goldstein has worked with the Solana Beach-based theater. North Coast Rep’s Artistic Director David Ellenstein directed Goldstein’s

Actress Rosina Reynolds and playwright Lionel Goldstein. Courtesy photo “Halpern and Johnson” at the local theater, in addition to productions in Maine, Miami and Portland. “Mandate Memories” was also presented as a reading at North Coast Rep a few years ago. “It’s such a delight,” said Goldstein. “It’s extremely pleasant. It’s a very dedicated and competent team.” Although he didn’t want to be a playwright initially, Goldstein has grown to love collaborating with others on stage. What he enjoys most about his career is creating something that gives others an opportunity to also create. “The thing I enjoy most is it gives people employ-

ment,” he said. “Once I did some scenes in a London underground train station, complete with a train and everything. There were loads and loads of people for that day’s filming. That gave me a big kick that I had written something that gave employment to loads and loads of people. That was nice.” “Mandate Memories” runs through May 4 at North Coast Rep, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. “Enjoyment — just the same as with everything else. That’s what I hope the audience takes from this play,” Goldstein said. “That’s why I write.” For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.northcoastrep.org.

Reception held for playwright

reception was held April 7 at the local home of Julie Sarno for London playwright Lionel Goldstein (see story above), the author of “Mandate Memories,” which runs through May 4 at North Coast Rep in Solana Beach (987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive). For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

tory through meeting other members,” said Phillips, who is planning to go on to study film production at USC in the fall. “It’s been an amazing experience to learn about film and start making these shorts. Plus, Mr. Raines is a huge mentor to all of us. He teaches teamwork and leadership, and I’ve learned so much about myself as a filmmaker from what he’s taught us.” Along with making short films, the students at Canyon Crest work on a variety of projects throughout the year, including editing TED Talks, producing minute-long short films, and two-minutelong documentaries. The submission to the festival was done through its official website. The chosen films were screened at the historic La Paloma Theater in Encinitas, and films were split up into two categories: the Junior Division (with films made by students who are between 1st and 8th grade) and the Senior Division (9th through 12th). Raines said that seeing his students succeed is one of the many perks of his job: “I have the amazing opportunity to create an environment that helps students find, discover, and explore an exciting visual art area that could lead to a career in video, film, or television, but I also really enjoy teaching students skills in a real world context that could help them in ev-

Plus, I’m extremely fortunate to work at a school where the administration empowers the staff and students to thrive and succeed.” For now, the students at the Conservatory will continue to hone their craft and perhaps set their sights on Hollywood. “After college, I hope to work in film somewhere,” said Phillips. “I’d like to direct and maybe act... but first I have to see where the world takes me.”

By Rob LeDonne At the recent first annual Encinitas Student Film Festival, four students from Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Cinema department took home top honors and received the Award of Excellence, Award of Distinction, and People’s Choice Award for their short film “Milquetoast.” The film, about at a girl who can’t express her emotions facially, was the brainchild of senior Jason Phillips and classmates Richard Duan, Jennifer Smart and Andrew Boyles. “Getting congratulated and praised for ‘Milquetoast’ is an amazing feeling,” Phillips said. “We’re really honored and thankful that it was received so well and all the hard work we put into it paid off.” Added Mark Raines, the Envision Cinema coordinator at Canyon Crest: “I am so proud of how well our students did at the festival. The creativity and production value displayed in their work is awesome.” Canyon Crest had a total of nine films in the festival and they were produced by students in the Academy’s after-school program, Envision Cinema Conservatory. According to Raines, the conservatory is “a credited high school visual art course designed to train, prepare, and guide students in video and film production.” “I first got involved in the conserva-

Give me liberty or give me lunch at colonial Green Dragon Tavern BY KELLEY CARLSON restaurant with a rather revolutionary concept recently opened in Carlsbad. The Green Dragon Tavern & Museum pays homage to the nation’s colonial days, from the architecture and décor (which includes historical documents on display) to the East Coastinspired cuisine. “The original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston was a gathering space for historical figures, including John Hancock and Sam Adams, to begin laying the foundation of democracy for our country,” said John Lek, senior vice president and general manager, in a statement. “We wanted to bring this important facet of American history and influence that is so rooted in the northeastern part of the United States and share it with the West Coast.” The Green Dragon also serves as a gathering space with many people choosing to relax in the casual two-story tavern. During happy hour, patrons receive 25 percent off on starters that include the New England Clam Chowder — full of clams, carrots, celery, onions, fried fingerling potatoes, thyme and rosemary; along with Flash-Fried Calamari; Sweet Potato Waffle Fries; and Warm Pretzel Bites. There’s also $1 off on beers and wines by the glass. Twenty brews are on tap (predominantly craft-style) from breweries such as Stone,

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes

■ This week’s recipe:

Green Dragon Tavern’s Maine Lobster Roll Saint Archer, Ballast Point, Green Flash and AleSmith, along with Sons of Liberty and Samuel Adams (naturally). Most of the wines are from California with a few from exotic locations such as Argentina and Australia. Whether guests are in the tavern or the elegant dining room, they can peruse a menu created by Chef de Cuisine Craig Hastings, who blends Old World techniques (open-flame cooking, braising, griddling) with a modern approach. He uses local, sustainable ingredients in his dishes and prefers to make items from scratch, including the sauces, condiments, burger buns and flatbreads. For lighter fare, Hastings presents a half-

dozen salads and soups, and “Heroes” of the Revolution sandwiches. One popular is “The Patriot” — a brioche bun stuffed with chunks of Maine lobster lightly covered in tarragon aioli, topped with beer-batter crunchies and served with a side of greens. The entrees encompass everything from steaks and Crispy-Skinned Jidori Chicken to Tavern-Made Vegetarian Pasta. A favorite is the Cedar Plank Roasted Skuna Bay Salmon dressed in horseradish bearnaise and leeks, which rests on a bed of charred asparagus spears. It’s accompanied by a side of clam-and-corn stuffing. Another choice dish is the Seared Super Lump Crab Cakes, composed of 80 percent crabmeat that is pan-seared and covered in panko bread crumbs. The cakes are enveloped by roasted corn and pepper succotash, romanesco cauliflower and chive oil. To wrap up the meal, there are desserts such as the Apple Handpie, a personalsized, deep-dish pastry with a crust that’s brushed with a sugary glaze and filled with fruit. It’s enhanced by a scoop of caramel gelato and a drizzle of lavender honey. In addition, there’s the Chef’s Cast Iron S’more, a concoction of brown butter graham cracker crumble, chocolate ganache and honey marshmallow. “We want people to come in, enjoy good food, celebrate early American history and have a good time,” Lek said.

We encourage everyone to share ccagala.com with their friends and plan to expand the bidding through social media.” The auction will feature an exciting variety of categories, including sports, entertainment, vacations and travel, edu-

cation prep, unique experiences, home, fitness, beauty and food, and dining.

High Bluff Academy’s summer classes help students in a variety of ways With the growing competitiveness of college admissions, students of all abilities are using their summers to gain an edge. Having an extra year of math, science or foreign language can really boost a college application. High Bluff Academy offers four years of Lab Science, Statistics, Business Calculus and Spanish 1 - 4. Other advanced students are taking Chemistry or Physics to prepare for AP science classes next school year. Students who are busy with sports, internships and clubs are taking a difficult class in the summer to lighten their homework load during the school year. Student athletes preparing for admission to a D1 or D2 school must be especially careful to have NCAA- approved courses.

CV students sample sailor’s life aboard Star of India By Gloria Limas An More than 30 students from Carmel Valley schools participated in the recent Star of India’s “Voyage of Hope” overnight educational curriculum. Students learned how to tie knots, hoist sails, maneuver ropes and secure barrels. The program is part of the San Diego Maritime Museum’s Education Department. Schools come from as far away as Arizona and Nevada to experience the adventure. A crew representing characters typical for the

Barrel riggers

year 1875 enlist the assistance of the student crew members, assigning them each roles on board the ship named the “Euterpe,” the Star of India’s original name. This allows the sailors to earn money and pay for their passage to America from England. A special part of the program includes Captain Healy reading handwritten letters from parents to their crew members depicting life back in the U.S. Favorite topics include the discovery of gold and the completion

of the first transcontinental railroad. After supper on the ship, prepared by the galley crew, ghost stories are read before the crew takes part in the night watch. The Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. It celebrated 150 years last November.

Go gaga over spring foods The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Spring is when Mother Nature throws a coming out party for her animals, minerals and vegetables. The supermarket produce aisles are brimming with a bounty of delicate shoots, beans, peas and fresh herbs, while the meat department is filled with young, tender cuts of carnivorous offerings. Inquisitive column folk want to know spring’s best contributions. Here are your answers. Lamb Bam, Thank You Ma’am Roasted spring lamb is a celebratory delicacy for the Easter Sunday meal, a tradition that harks back to the inaugural Jewish Passover Seder when unleavened bread or matzo and bitter herbs were served with the Paschal Lamb. When many Hebrews converted to Christianity, the custom of eating lamb during the Easter season continued. Spring lamb comes from an animal less than three months old. The most tender, pink-fleshed spring lamb is imported from Down Under this time of year, as young, domestic lamb is in short supply. Australian lamb is grass-fed and free of growth hormones, lean and flavorful, not gamy like mutton from older sheep. Domestic milk-fed or hothouse lambs are also an Easter treat, raised indoors and fed exclusively on their mother’s milk. The Mauve Clove Tender spring garlic, or green garlic, has arrived for a short season — so grab it. Simply the immature version of common garlic, botanically known as Allium sativum, spring garlic has not yet divided

into recognizable cloves. It resembles scallions with a delicate purple-hued bulb and flimsy green stalks. The young garlic trumps its older sibling in many respects: it doesn’t have to be peeled, has a more delicate flavor with nutty notes, and a subtler, less overpowering personality than the stinky rose, lacking collateral damage of causing bad breath. Slice thinly in potato and green salads, stir-fries and brothy soups, pastas and frittatas or as a topping to jazz up pizzas. Use Your Spring Stalk Options Rhubarb-philes welcome this spring treat, also called a “pie plant,” with open arms. Actually a vegetable and member of the buckwheat family, this lippuckering, low cal, high fiber powerhouse with nerve calming B’s, beta carotene and A’s for boosting ocular health, Vitamin K for healthy blood clotting, and a slew of minerals, balances well with sweet strawberries, raspberries and ginger. Sold in bunches like asparagus choose short dark pink stalks rather than longer greener ones for sweeter flavor and less stringy texture. Whip up a refreshing pureed compote as a scrumptious topping for gelatos, bubbly cobblers, tangy chutneys and salsas. Just beware of the leaves containing oxalates, an irritant to the mouth and throat. A Superb French Herb Chervil to the French gastronome is like salt and pepper to the American cook. This indispensable spring herb that resembles parsley with a more delicate feathery leaf has distinct notes of anise. Like a poem on the palate, chervil dials up fish, egg dishes and potatoes, makes a divine substitute for basil in pesto, and enlivens green salads, vinaigrette dressings and sauces. This super herb with a mother lode of minerals including, potassium, calcium, iron, selenium and magnesium, along with Vitamins A, C and D has been linked to alleviating everything from gum disease and hiccups to allergy symptoms and achy, inflamed joints. As a detoxifying agent, chervil also acts as nature’s chemical peel erasing fine lines, wrinkles and dark age spots re-

Lavender potatoes sulting in a glowing, youthful complexion. Riders of the Purple Sage The fragrant lavender flower is as much a part of the culinary world as the aromatherapy one. A member of the mint family and close relation to sage, rosemary and thyme, the purple buds with citrus undertones can be used fresh or dried in cocktails and iced teas, scones, fruity crumb cakes, cookies and other baked goods, along with savory dishes from risottos to vinaigrette dressings. Cook’s tip: As dried lavender is more intense than fresh, use one-third the amount. My final spring culinary fling contribution is this blissful lavender and chervil roasted potato dish to beautifully accent your holiday lamb. Happy Easter cooking. Spring Lavender Fingerlings 2 pounds of assorted fingerling potatoes 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lavender or 1/2 tablespoon dried 1/4 teaspoon each of dried rosemary, thyme, oregano 1/2 teaspoon of fresh chervil, chopped Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl whisk together oil with herbs and spices. Toss potatoes until well coated. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown, turning while roasting. For additional spring recipes, email kitchenshrink@san. rr.com.

Encinitas 101 Mainstreet presents All That Jazz solo exhibition by local artist Cheryl Ehlers Through May 13, the Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association presents a solo exhibition, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All That Jazz,â&#x20AC;? by local artist Cheryl Ehlers. The bold and dynamic, musically- themed art is created in watercolor and acrylic mediums. Sharing a palette of vibrant color, this series has traveled to the Brubeck Institute and been hosted by the Villa Musica in San Diego. Ehlers is an award-winning, published artist that paints in an array of styles. Her choices of impressionistic, contemporary art are eloquently executed and sparked by imagination reflecting a passion for painting in the moment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art, for me is a celebration of life, a way to create an appreciation for the simple joys that surround me,â&#x20AC;? states Ehlers. As a youngster, she traveled Europe extensively and home was where you parked your shoes. Art was the one item that did not have to be left behind, because it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit into a suitcase. She represents that joy in her art. Come meet Ehlers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that Jazzâ&#x20AC;? at an artist reception hosted on Thursday, May 1, from 5:30-8 p.m. at the Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association, located at 818 S. Coast Highway 101.

A percentage of the proceeds of sales will be donated to support youth scholarships at The Stardust Arts. For more information on Cheryl Ehlers, visit cherylehlersart.com.
