Trader Joe’s no longer part of current One Paseo plan BY KAREN BILLING Trader Joe’s is no longer a guaranteed anchor tenant for the One Paseo project. Kilroy Realty had announced the specialty grocery store as a signed tenant for its mixed-use project planned for the corner of El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road last year. “Great projects like One Paseo attract great tenants and we were able to bring Trader Joe’s to Carmel Valley. However, the delays caused by uncertainty in San Diego and the approval process of One Paseo has caused Trader Joe’s to exercise an option to look at other locations such as Pacific Highlands Ranch,” Kilroy said in a statement. “We will begin discussions with Trader Joe’s once again when the timing See PASEO, Page 6

Del Mar and Solana Beach councils proclaim September as National Preparedness Month BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local city officials are reminding community members to be prepared for an emergency. The Solana Beach City Council on Sept. 11 and the Del Mar City Council on Sept. 16 proclaimed September as National Preparedness Month. “You should always be prepared for emergencies in your home and in your community,” said Solana Beach Mayor Mike Nichols, who noted it’s a particularly important time to remind people because it’s fire season. “To be able to declare this as National Preparedness Month brings awareness so we can, as a city, remind people how important it is to be prepared.” Launched in 2004 and sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency within the Department of Homeland Security, National Preparedness Month is a national effort that encourages Americans to prepare for home, business and school emergencies. The event aims to provide public awareness concerning emergency preparation, as well as persuade people to take action. Local fire officials have addressed the public at city council meetings to encourage community members to make a household plan, and assemble a disaster supply kit and gobag for each family member. Officials recommend those who already have plans and kits to meet with family members to discuss and upgrade their plan and determine what training, equipment and supplies are needed. “We’re just trying to make sure that people know the best way to mitigate an emergency is to prepare, plan ahead and train for it,” said Dismas Abelman, battalian chief for Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach. “If you prepare and get ahead of the curb, you can take a See MONTH, Page 6

The 17-year-old won for his project, which focuses on the development of an anti-flu medicine to fight a deadly infection from a new strain of the flu virus that could cause an epidemic. “Current antiviral drugs are losing their effectiveness because resistant flu strains are emerging,” Chen said in an interview with this newspaper before the competition. “So there’s this need for new anti-flu medicine to hold back the pandemic wave while new vaccines are being developed.” As the competition’s top winner, Chen won a $50,000 scholarship, a 10day trip to the Galapagos Islands with National Geographic Expeditions and more. Inspired by the 2009 flu pandemic, Chen has worked on his project, “The Taming of the Flu,” at UC San Diego and Scripps Research Institute labs since May 2012. He uses computer modeling and simulation combined with biological experimentation to speed up the discovery process of new drug candidates, he said.

New development projects a possibility for vacant land parcels in east Carmel Valley

Plans changed for Merge development in Carmel Valley

BY JOE TASH New development projects could be in the works for two vacant parcels of land south of State Route 56 at Camino Del Sur. Kilroy Realty Corp. — the developer of the One Paseo project on Del Mar Heights Road/El Camino Real — is interested in an 11-acre parcel on the west side of Camino Del Sur for an office building or other employment-related facility. Sea Breeze Properties, Inc. is proposing a mixed-use development, including shops, offices and homes for a 42-acre parcel east of Camino Del Sur, and also south of SR 56. Both projects would require amendments to the Torrey Highlands Subarea Plan. On Thursday, Sept. 19, the San Diego Planning Commission voted 6-0 to allow both developers to pursue their projects by submitting more detailed plans. On Sept. 4, the Rancho Penasquitos Community Planning Group also voted to allow the two projects to move forward. The votes by the two panels don’t constitute approval of the projects. According to a city staff report, the city of San Diego is one of few jurisdictions that require either Planning Commission or City Council initiation before the plan amendment process and accompanying project can proceed. “I’m very curious as to what they’re going to propose as projects,” said Thom Clark, chairman of the Rancho Penasquitos Community Planning Board. “This (community plan amendment) initiation is just the starting line.” In the case of the Kilroy proposal, the 11-acre parcel is surrounded on three sides by open space — Deer Canyon to the north, and the Del Mar Mesa Preserve to the south and west. The property is currently designated as “commercial limited,” which would allow such uses as religious facilities, trade schools, storage, veterinary clinics, nurseries and garSee PROJECTS, page 19

BY KAREN BILLING Developer Gary Levitt has announced major changes to his Merge development, a modern, mixed-use retail and residential project planned for the corner of Carmel Country Road and Carmel Mountain Road. The changes were made to address neighbor complaints. “We did listen,” said Levitt, revealing his new Merge plans at the Sept. 18 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s regional issues subcommittee meeting. “We’ve taken a big step back and looked at how to do [the project]with a different approach.” The previous design featured 10 townhomes with detached garages and private yards, 21 residential for-sale flats, and more than 35,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. The project also had a central green area where all of the different uses

could “merge,” and featured 241 parking spaces in a surface lot and an underground garage. Due to complaints from neighbors, the re-imagined Merge has 22 townhomes and 31,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor with office space above. There will be no residential over retail, no central green space and the project will have 150 parking spaces; 30 percent will be underground and tagged for office use. He said the very modern architecture originally proposed will likely change to some degree as well. Details are few so far as the plan is still being redone, but Levitt said he hopes to return to the planning board in October with any updates. “I still believe we can create a very special place,” Levitt said. Levitt said he would like the retail ele See MERGE, page 6

Ocean Air School named a National Blue Ribbon School BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Two elementary schools in San Diego are among 15 around California named recently as National Blue Ribbon Schools, according to the state Department of Education. Ocean Air Elementary School in Carmel Valley, part of the Del Mar Union School District, and Torrey Pines Elementary School in La Jolla, belonging to San Diego Unified, were honored for either being high achieving or having made significant academic improvements. Students at the high achieving schools are expected to be the among the state’s top performers in English and mathematics on standardized tests, while various social and

economic subgroups are supposed to score as well as their peers. ``These schools are wonderful illustrations of the work we do here in California schools to prepare our students to thrive in the world they will find outside of our classrooms,’’ said state Superintendent of Schools Tom Torlakson. ``I am proud to see them held up as national examples.’’ In California, 13 public schools and two private institutions were honored. Nationwide, 236 public schools were named along with 50 private campuses. The winning schools can display a blue ribbon flag on their campuses. They’ll be honored in Washington, D.C., in November.

High school district board reviews plans for new TPHS science classrooms

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board took a look at the plans for new science classrooms at Torrey Pines High School at its Sept. 19 meeting. The project is one of many funded by Prop AA, the $449 million bond initiative that passed in November 2012 to upgrade district facilities. At Torrey Pines, the new four-room chemistry building will be built where the existing weight room portable is located near the sports fields. Joe Mansfield, principal from the Roesling Nakamura Terada Architecture firm, said the plan is to create four-classrooms with a shared prep space where teachers can collaborate, as well as an outdoor area between the existing science wing (known as building B) and the new building. Where the science rooms now are relatively small (very few over 1,000 square feet), the labs in the new building will all be 1,350 square feet, bringing See CLASSROOMS, page 6

Local resident thriving in second career as a best-selling author •Author of ‘WIRED’ releases new book ‘The Cure’; Book signing event to be held Sept. 29 at Del Mar Highlands’ Barnes & Noble BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Douglas E. Richards left behind the biotech world and is enjoying the second draft of his life as a techno-thriller author. His first book, “WIRED,” gained popularity as an ebook, ending 2011 as the #1 Kindle book in two categories. The book spent time on the New York Times Best Seller list and, despite having been out for two years, it’s still among the top five in Amazon’s techno-thrillers and science fiction categories, and still sells about 100 books a day. The online success of “WIRED” led to a book deal with Tor-Forge, an imprint of MacMillan Publishers. Richards’ latest book, “The Cure,” was released on Sept. 17 — its shiny, embossed jacket on a printed hard cover was extremely exciting for Richards to see. “The Cure” is a science fiction, techno-thriller mix that tells the story of Erin Palmer, a graduate student who goes into prisons to research psychopaths and possibly find a way to reverse their condition. The “fast-paced, breathless” novel takes place over one week. “It’s been really, really fun. Also, I’m nervous because you never know…it’s always very stressful until the first 100 people read the book,” Richards said. “You can write a good book that you’re passionate about, but that’s not enough. You have to get lucky. I don’t know what the magic is but let’s hope I continue to get lucky.” A book signing for “The Cure” will be held at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center’s Barnes & Noble on Sept. 29 from noon to 2 p.m. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Richards has lived in Carmel Valley since 1998. He attended Ohio State to get his undergraduate degree in microbiology and then attended the University of Wisconsin where he earned his master’s degree in genetic engineering. “I enjoyed analyzing data and I like to read the results of five years of research, but I didn’t want to be the one in the lab spilling stuff on myself, I don’t have the patience,”

Authors R. L. Stine and Douglas E. Richards. Courtesy photo Richards said. To change the direction of his career, Richards went on to earn his MBA at the University of Chicago and began working at the Eli Lilly IVAC medical devices company Bristol-Myers Squibb as the director of biotech licensing. He eventually moved to San Diego where he worked as the vice president of business development at Signal Pharmaceuticals and Acadia Pharmaceuticals. Richards credits his kids for inspiring him to become a writer. “I love to read, I was always reading and what really started my writing off was when I wanted to find science fiction for my kids,” Richards said. He had found that for seventh and eighth graders there weren’t a lot of good options so he wrote a series of science fiction books for middle schoolers called “The Prometheus Project.” The series did quite well online and he was even

invited to be a panelist at Comic-Con in 2010. His books caught the eye of National Geographic Kids Magazine, who tapped him to write articles. The articles have now been translated into 12 different languages. Richards finally decided to take on adult technothrillers in the vein of Michael Crichton, focusing his plots on the science and tech field where he knew he could tell stories that would not only be interesting but accurate.

Richards said it’s harder than ever to break into the publishing industry and with “WIRED” he tried for years without an agent and couldn’t get a publisher. “I put it in a drawer and ultimately decided to go back to biotech,” said Richards, noting he admitted to himself it was time to “concede the effort and return to reality.” Six months back into working in biotech as a consultant, he started learning more about e-books. “I thought, ‘I’ll throw it up there and see what happens’ and if I could get 10 people to read it that will be cool. Well, it went viral,” he said. In less than three months it hit the New York Times Best Seller list, as well as the USA Today Best Seller list. It stayed on the Times’ list for five weeks. “It is impossible to describe. I had given up and then it was just…surreal doesn’t even begin to describe it,” said Richards of being on the Best Seller list. “It brought a tear to my eye,

TPHS grad places second on ‘America’s Got Talent’ BY ROB LEDONNE Taylor Williamson, a Del Mar native and graduate of Torrey Pines High School, overcame the odds and placed second on the hit NBC competition series “America’s Got Talent” on Sept. 18. Williamson, the 26-year-old comedian who auditioned for the series on a lark, beat out hundreds of other competitors. In his in his first interview with this newspaper back in early August, Williams said he was confident he wouldn’t make it past the early rounds, but went onto survive a variety of elimination shows and made it all the way to the show’s season finale, where he performed one final comedy bit alongside “Inside the Actor’s Studio” host James Lipton. By the end of the show, Williamson and Kenichi Ebina, a dancer and fellow-fan favorite, were the last two contestants standing. However, Ebina wound up edging out Williamson and clinching the $1 million prize and headline show in Las Vegas. Despite being runnerup, Williamson’s career has

Taylor Williamson Photo courtesy of NBC been reinvigorated thanks to his weekly appearances on what is America’s number one-rated television show. Throughout his time on “Talent,” which was broadcast live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall twice a week, Williamson was championed by judges Howie Mandel and Howard Stern, and helped along by growing fan-base he dubs the “Taylords.” Williamson is slated to perform at a variety of the most prestigious comedy clubs across the country in the coming months, including headlining slots at San Diego’s American Comedy Co. club come December. Not bad for a struggling comedian who, pre-”America’s Got Talent,” said he was close to stepping away from comedy altogether and getting a regular job due to financial constraints. In a recent interview with this newspaper, Williamson called the past few months a “dream scenario.” Williamson graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 2005.

Local resident/president and interim CEO of Sanford-Burnham named to the California Breast Cancer Research Council Carmel Valley resident Kristiina Vuori, M.D., Ph.D., president and interim CEO of Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham), has been named to the California Breast Cancer Research Council, the official advisory body for the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP). Vuori, a distinguished cancer researcher who has devoted her career to unraveling the mechanisms of deadly cancer metastasis, will join the 15-member Council for CBCRP, the largest state-funded cancer research effort in the nation. Vuori is a professor in Sanford-Burnham’s National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Center, which she directed from 2005 to 2013. “It is an honor to be invited to serve on the Council,” said Vuori. “Breast cancer is a devastating illness, and finding ways to prevent and treat it has been a focus of my scientific research. California has a unique position of global leadership in the fight against breast cancer. I look forward to working with the other council members to keep our state at the forefront of this important cause.”

Kristiina Vuori, M.D., Ph.D. Vuori is a pioneer in the study of the most life-threatening aspect of cancer, tumor metastasis, which is responsible for nearly all deaths in cancer patients. Among her many scientific achievements, she has made seminal contributions to the field of cancer research through publications on cellular-communication networks that regulate cancer-cell survival, motility, and drug resistance. Along with her research and Institute leadership roles, Vuori has emerged as a forceful public advocate for increasing biomedical research funding. She was a proponent for the 2012 statewide campaign to pass Proposition 29, the California Cancer Research Act, noting, “If we want California to continue

as a world leader in technology and innovation, and in producing new diagnostics, treatments, and cures, we need the state’s support. We will continue to work hard to translate our cutting-edge medical research to benefit patients with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.” Vuori is a member of the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) Melanoma Dream Team. In 2011, the Team received a three-year grant of $6 million to explore a personalizedmedicine approach to treating metastatic melanoma. She also serves on the Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine and on the Board for the American Association for Cancer Research. She is past chair of the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program’s prestigious “Innovator Award” panel. She was a founding member of the San Diego National Cancer Institute Cancer Centers Council, or C3, a unique collaboration that leverages the resources and talents of cancer researchers at SanfordBurnham; the Salk Institute; and the University of California, San Diego, Moores Cancer Center.

San Diego had some of the first cases in the U.S. Since then, I’ve been keeping a tab on influenza news. The more I read about it, the more I saw it as an urgent issue.” The Google Science Fair had thousands of entrants from 120 countries. Judges first selected 90 regional finalists, and then 15 finalists were selected, with five from each age group, ages 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18. All of the finalists visited Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., to present their projects to a panel of international scien-

tists for a final round of judging. “One thing I really like about research is that I get to feel like I’m really making a difference,” Chen said. “Even though I’m just in high school, I can say that. I’m doing work that will make the world a better place.” Next year’s competition opens for entries in January 2014.

Kate Mraw, an interior designer with LPA, talked about what is happening currently in facilities planning for schools — how spaces are being designed to be innovative, sustainable and inspiring for students to learn.

She said facilities are designed now to support the idea that “learning happens everywhere,” such

Armed with post-it notes, the group had a chance to weigh in on topics such as what kind of spaces the district needs for professional learning; what activities the multi-use room should support; how to redefine the library/media center; and what both indoor and outdoor spaces should look like. Outreach group members are also tasked with communicating with individual school sites and gathering as much input as they can as they form the ideas for the district’s facilities master plan.

plans include 246,500-square-feet of retail, 484,000-squarefeet of office space, 608 residential units, sidewalk and crosswalk enhancements, and a “Main Street” element for Carmel Valley. The project is still under city review and portions of the Draft Environmental Impact Report will be re-circulated in the coming months, including the city’s request for a study of an alternative that ranges from 600,000 to 800,000 square feet.

Mansfield said the idea is for the finish to be as close as possible to the existing bricks, although the dimensions of the bricks will be a little different. The TPHS science classroom building project is scheduled to start next summer (2014) and is scheduled to be completed by fall 2015. At that point, renovations would begin in the B Building science classrooms. “The weight room is

currently programmed to go into the existing gym as it is remodeled after the new, larger gym is built,” said Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. “We are looking at other options, however, and it may end up being a separate building near its current location.

Despite the changes, some neighbors still had objections to the access to the project being off the residential streets Dry Cliff Trail and Corum Court. Levitt said access to the project is not allowed off

Del Mary Historical Society: ‘I Remember’ The Del Mar Historical Society will be submitting a series of “I Remember” articles once per month from Del Mar residents and others with memories of Del Mar. Below is the first in the series. For more information, visit www.delmarhistoricalsociety.org. Sometime in October 1958, my then-husband and I were newlyweds who had just been to the bullfights in Tijuana. On our drive back home from the Mexican border, a heavy rainstorm came up suddenly, so we stopped in at the famed Hotel Del Mar. There was no freeway then, of course, only Pacific Coast Highway, with the train tracks next to the road and the beach. We seem to have been the only visitors to the elegant paneled dining room that evening, yet we were warmly welcomed, and shown to a table by the fireplace, with the staff pretty much to ourselves. As I recall, there was a large, silver wheeled trolley with a huge standing rib roast ready for the carving. Yorkshire pud-

Even all these years later, it’s hard to believe what a remarkable event that was for us, like magical moments out of a movie script in our young lives. Thoughts of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire came to mind, although I’m not sure about an orchestra! It was just that very special feeling such an environment felt like in those long ago days. We are grateful to all who keep these historic connections intact from those of us who had the experiences of life along the California coast for those in the future to enjoy.

Week in Sports: Football, Golf, Volleyball and Field Hockey BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: Santa Fe Christian bounced back from a lopsided loss with a convincing win. The Eagles rolled up 481 yards of total offense in a resounding 66-34 nonleague victory over La Jolla on Sept. 20. The victory followed a 35-0 loss to Carlsbad, a perennial San Diego Section power that boasts much bigger enrollment than SFC. Tony Miro led the route, rushing for 191 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries. Miro’s impact wasn’t just limited to the backfield. He tallied 339 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns, with most of the damage coming in the first quarter. Miro scored on an 83-yard kickoff return and also caught a 65-yard touchdown pass. Eagles quarterback Carter Roberts completed three of eight pass attempts for 119 yards with all three completions going for touchdowns. He threw no interceptions. Roberts rushed for 94 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries and Jerry Harper and Cole Needham each rushed for 36 yards. The Eagles trailed 7-0 early in the first quarter when Miro returned a kickoff for a touchdown that tied the game. Miro scored on a 52-yard scoring run on SFC’s next possession to make it 14-7. He scored the Eagles third touchdown of the first quarter from the 4 that gave the Eagles a 21-7 lead. Jake Bailey kicked a 27-yard field goal late in the first quarter that capped a run of 24 consecutive unanswered points. Roberts completed a 4-yard scoring pass to Jerry Harper that gave the Eagles a 30-14 lead midway through the second quarter. Needham scored on a 22-yard run and Roberts hooked with a Blake O’Rourke on a 50-yard scoring strike to help the Eagles take a decisive 52-27 lead into the intermission. Slater Howe had 13 tackles to lead the Eagles defensively. Blain Weeks had Sammy Ray each contributed 10 tackles and two sacks and Darrian Borboa added 10 tackles.

The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 2-2. ***** Last season, Torrey Pines wasted an excellent defensive performance in a nonleague game against Vista in a game in which the Falcons couldn’t get anything going offensively. The Falcons experienced no such difficulties in this year’s rematch as they trounced Vista 44-9 in a nonleague game on Sept. 20. The victory followed a 2-0 loss to Vista last year in what from a scoring standpoint is as unusual as a football game gets at any level. Falcons quarterback Pete Mitchell led the route, completing eight of 12 pass attempts for 135 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Falcons snapped a 3-3 deadlock in the second quarter when Mitchell completed a 30-yard scoring pass to Dwayne Hines to make it 9-3. That started a run of 41 unanswered points, turning what looked to be another tight game into a blowout. Hines scored on a run from the 2 yard line to make it 16-3 and Mitchell hooked up with Christian Gange on a 37yard scoring strike to give the Falcons a 23-3 going into the intermission. The Falcons broke the game open in the third quarter when Mitchell completed a 13-yard scoring pass to Rob Simsiman. Devin Slubowski scored on an 88-yard run that put the game out of reach at 37-3 and Jack Hoeprich scored from the 4 to make it 44-3. The Falcons improved their overall record for the season to 2-2. Golf: Torrey Pines won the Rainbow Sandals Lady Triton Invitational on Sept. 20. The Falcons shot a combined 10-over par 375 at San Clemente Municipal Golf Course to win what is widely considered the nation’s most prestigious high school golf tournament. Muni He shot a 2-under-par 71 to place second overall individually for Torrey Pines.

Del Mar stroke victim becomes patient advocate BY KRISTINA HOUCK After suffering a massive brain stem stroke in 2012, Aimeeleigh Coulter was paralyzed for weeks and unable to speak. She could only communicate by blinking. Now, the Del Mar resident is on the other side of the hospital bed, volunteering as a patient advocate at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very blessed to be able to have gone through what I did and still be able to communicate effectively,â&#x20AC;? said 33-year-old Coulter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to help out my community. Tri-City welcomed me with open arms so I could communicate my experience and do what I could do to help improve patient care.â&#x20AC;? As one of nearly 20 members of Tri-Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Volunteer Patient Advocate Program, Coulter greets new patients within the first 24 hours. From listening to patient concerns to offering a warm blanket and magazines, volunteers show patients that they care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aimeeleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service is invaluable,â&#x20AC;? said Tereen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal Elmore, Tri-Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patient relations specialist and founder of the program, which launched in April and is an extension of Tri-Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer auxiliary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one knows better than someone who has laid in a hospital bed for hours and hours at a time. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very inspirational to the rest of the advocates and has spoken with

Aimeeleigh Coulter them in regard to her own personal experience and what it means to a patient to sit down, hold their hand and spend time with them.â&#x20AC;? Then a 32-year-old Carlsbad bartender and college graduate, Coulter suffered a stroke on Jan. 15, 2012. Doctors discovered that a blood clot caused by an injury to the left vertebral artery in her neck broke free when she woke up that morning and lodged in the basilar artery of her brain stem, which caused a stroke. Coulter recalled several doctors said she would most likely remain bedridden permanently. Machines had to help her breathe and eat. A priest even read her last rites. Still, after months in hospital rooms, a nursing home and a rehabilitation center, Coulter began to recover and regained her strength. She now works as

a contracted marketing assistant for Tri-City, volunteer patient advocate and occasional bartender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that the little creature comforts can make a big difference to a patient in the hospital bed,â&#x20AC;? Coulter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard to be so vulnerable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to now be able to ask patients what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re experiencing, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their satisfaction level and how I can help.â&#x20AC;? In addition to volunteering as a patient advocate at Tri-City, Coulter has shared her story at other local institutions, including the Oceanside Rotary Club, MiraCosta College nursing program and the city of Carlsbadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Medical Services. She will also be a featured speaker Nov. 2 at Tri-City Hospital Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Diamond Ball, which aims to raise funds to purchase new equipment for Tri-City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just really want to give a patient perspective for caregivers, nurses, doctors and therapists that emphasizes bringing the humanity into health care again,â&#x20AC;? Coulter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a difficult job to be a nurse or a doctor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that I think sometimes a little humanity is lost. Patients are people. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important that the whole person is addressed.â&#x20AC;? For more information, visit http://www.tricitymed. org/ways-to-give/volunteers/

Patriot Profiles — Major General Melvin G. Spiese: Turning the corner on America’s military This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Each time we face a new Middle East crisis, we can’t help but remember the sacrifices and challenges of past conflicts. It takes great minds to defeat unpredictable and dangerous enemies. It takes brilliant ideas and planning to turn ordinary civilians into extraordinary warriors. For a young ROTC graduate, who rose up in the Marine Corps, a quest for exceptional thinking led to strengthening our forces. In the Iraq war, Al Anbar Province was an Al Qaeda terrorist pipeline and stronghold of operations. Maj. Gen. Melvin G. Spiese, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, states unequivocally, “The Marine Corps thought its way out of Al Anbar, not necessarily fought its way out of Anbar.” He adds, “A lot of this can map its way back to General Kelly and General Allen and the great work they were doing, but we worked [from the support side] to understand the problems we were facing out there.” “Shooting bad guys was real important, but it was only one of many things that had to be done.” “We expect our leaders at every rank and grade to come to solutions for challenges they face in their particular battle space and area,” offers Maj. Gen. Spiese, “We tend to not only encourage that, but exploit that. We leverage that.” The task in Al Anbar was: “We were told do not lose the war but, in fact, we turned the corner on the war in Al Anbar.” “We build into our Marines expectation on one hand and empowerment on the other. This is completely in the character of an American Marine.” Spiese was influenced by his father — a career soldier who fought in World War II and Korea and then worked as an Army ROTC Instructor in Chicago schools. Spiese grew up there and attended the University of Illinois in Champaign Urbana. He was a midshipman in a Naval ROTC unit with dreams of flying F-4 Phantoms as a Navy pilot. “Immediately upon arrival, I saw who the Marines were. They were very distinct in their presence and bearing. They looked like what the military was supposed to be. I wanted to be like them.” With a degree in civil engineering and a new commission, Spiese entered the Corps as an officer. He was inducted into what he coins as, “the business of being a Marine.” “We train and educate throughout the career of our Marines. Each step provides something unique.” This would-be Commander says that at Basic School the problems were challenging. The time cycle in thinking is much shorter with greater cause and effect. Command and Staff College helped him with higher order planning skills and to understand more complex problems with greater span, control, and effects of decisions. His education at the School of Advanced Military Studies taught rigorous critical thinking and graduate-level problem solving, preparing him for the role of a General. Winning at war is a thinking person’s game. Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese general and military strategist, helped set the bar for modern battle strategies. Warfare is the greatest affair of state, the basis of life and death, the way to survival or extinction. It must be thoroughly pondered and analyzed. “Sun Tzu – Art of War” by Ralph D. Sawyer. In a string of multiple commands, Maj. Gen. Spiese has employed higher thinking. When he led 2nd Force Reconnaissance Company, Camp Lejeune, 1993, “We were the strike element for U.S. Atlantic Commander in Chief’s (CINC’s) In-Extremis Force. I didn’t believe we were sourcing detachments to the Marine Expeditionary Units as well as we needed to be. At 2nd Force, we restructured how we built and prepared platoons and who we sent to high-end schools. I started sending more junior Marines who we could get a couple of deployments out of. “We did a lot of amazing things — shooting, jumping, and diving. The Marines had to be incredibly talented and proficient because of the nature of the business.” When Spiese assumed command at The School of Infantry, 2001, General Jones was Commandant and had identified a problem with the performance of instructors. Spiese relates, “We were able to achieve special-duty assignment… the most significant thing that has happened to The School of Infantry since General Gray established it decades ago. We completely revamped every aspect of how we sourced, selected, and built our instructors. Now, we are getting unmatched quality in terms of instructors. We see the results of that in the performance of our Marines. “It’s important to like Marines,” he says with a genuine

smile. Years of spearheading transformation along the continuum of professional development has kept Spiese connected with who the Marines are and how they think. “What they are thinking is crucial for a senior officer removed from the battle space. “Clearly, they’re the guys with the hammer and screwdriver trying to make everything fit. It’s really important to get from them how things are working — what’s successful – what adjustments they had to make and how this affects the initial expectation and vision laid out. “Otherwise, you have this skewed filtered view of the world and will likely not make the best decisions.” The edge of war cuts deep at times. In 2010,

Okinawa, Japan: Maj. Gen. Spiese briefs platoon commanders as Commanding Officer (CO) of L Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines. Courtesy of Maj. Gen. Melvin Spiese when Spiese arrived at I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), Camp Pendleton, the Corps was wrestling with issues of suicide and extreme cases of PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). The engineer in Spiese got caught up in an experimental program General Dunford had brought on board called Mindfulness Mind Fitness Training (MMFT), created by Elizabeth Stanley and Dr. Chris Johnson. The physiology of MMFT intrigued Spiese, “It’s very focused exercises for the brain — exercising neural pathways and the body’s response to that as it manages the central nervous system. We could see improvement in Marine’s abilities to stay focused, have tension when doing dangerous, but potentially mundane tasks like walking patrol, or managing an adrenaline spike like an ambush or IED.” MMFT is about getting through the dominance of the fight or flight reactions and getting back the thinking brain more quickly. “Stress and strain hits the whole force,” informs Spiese, “I have memories of working with Marines who were on the edge…” Sgt. Muhesien R. Hassen, USMC, shares his experience: “I was diagnosed with PTSD, and I went for almost three

years with just keeping everything bottled up inside,” Hassen said. “And finally, I just hit my threshold…With something like Mind Fitness, you can use it wherever and the biggest thing about it is, you have your Marines around you who have been through hell and high water. Those are the best people to talk to.” By embracing viable solutions, Spiese has helped pull people back, “to successfully complete their enlistments and go on with life.” For 38 years, Spiese embodied the resiliency and tenaciousness he taught his men. “The greatest adventures are those where you learn,” he says with palpable gratitude, appreciative to be a force of needed change in an iconic institution that keeps raising the bar set by shifting wars. What Spiese leaves behind impacts his son, “MG,” who was a 2nd Lt. Platoon commander in the Now Zad District, Afghanistan, 2010. For a father and a commander, it’s a mix of pride and worry for now Captain “MG” Spiese and his Marines. In March 2013, Major General Melvin G. Spiese retired with great fanfare, “I feel blessed beyond measure. I hope I’ve been able to provide back to the Marine Corps a return on its investment in me. It’s been an amazing privilege to have been allowed to be a Marine and one for as long as I have.” He never used his civil engineering degree to build roads and bridges using asphalt, concrete, and steel. This indomitable patriot has been speaking his mind — building exceptional warriors. “His business” was about “who you were and now who you will be.”

RSF GOP Women collecting donations to help fund all-terrain wheelchairs for military amputee veterans The Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women, Fed. 2013 board recently approved the suggestion of its chaplain, Susan Bailey Cowan, to raise funds to purchase one or more “Action Trackchairs,” all-terrain wheelchairs. This is in support of military amputee veterans – a small way of saying “Thank You” to these heroes. According to Hannah Fischer of the Congressional Research Service, there are nearly 1,725 American military veterans of conflicts from 2000 through December 2012 with “minor limb” (including partial foot) and “major limb” amputations (legs). Action Manufacturing of Marshall, Minn. (www.actiontrackchair.com) developed “Action Trackchair” for “people who want… the freedom to venture off into new terrain.” Formerly active military men and women can again enjoy doing things conventional wheelchairs can not provide: The ability to go to the beach, explore “mountain roads, campgrounds, the woods… snow or mud.” Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women Fed. members want to reserve at least one Action Trackchair for one or more of America’s many Wounded Warriors for delivery by Christmas. Each Trackchair is custom-made to the specifications of the veteran in need. They cost between $10,200 (basic 37”-43” models) to $13,500 (with many accessories and options, including head rest, extra 20 amp. battery charger, and specialized Trackchair carrier (for car or truck).

If you would like to donate $30, 100, 250, or more to this worthwhile cause or would like more information, please let Nick Dieterich know: 858756-4501 or PublicpolicyNick@ aol.com. Demand is outpacing supply as there are only a few constructed models available at this time. (Currently each custom-made Trackchair takes five months to build from purchase to delivery.) Please make checks payable to “The RSF Republican Women, Fed.” On the memo line write: “TrackChair.” Send checks to Post Office Box 1195, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

Youth Rugby registration opens in North County On-Line Registration has opened for the San Diego Mustangs Youth Rugby Club. (www.sandiegoyouthrugby.org). The Mustangs offer eight divisions (U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, U18 and Torrey Pines Varsity and Junior Varsity teams competing in the high school competition). Each age grade is coached by USA Rugby certified coaches who include explayers from the USA (including former USA Eagles), England, Wales, New Zealand and South Africa. The Mustangs Club also administers, manages and coaches the Torrey Pines teams in the High School division and brings these players along with players from Cathedral Catholic High School and other local high schools together for a “club” season after their high school seasons are complete. Mustangs teams draw players from all over San Diego County, and practice in the Carmel Valley area. Matches take place throughout San Diego County, with tournaments outside the county for older teams. Practice begins in December, and the regular season runs from January – March for the U8 – U14 ages, and from February to April for the U16 and U18 age grades.

Registration is now open for Mustangs Rugby. Last season’s U19 team won the Southern California Championship, and went on to finish 5th in the High School National Invitational Championship in Elkhart, IN. Dillon Loyek is shown here in a match from last season pitching the ball while teammates Grant McGahey (left, with mouthguard), Jacob Neeley (yelling), and Michael Bannock ruck over (protect) teammate Alec Barton. Photo/Susie Talman “An important part of the Mustangs Program is our College Outreach Program,” says Club President David Pool, who is originally from New Zealand and played rugby for 35 years, including a Korean tour with U.S. powerhouse Life University, “This program was developed in large part because our U16/U18 coaches have numerous connections to high-level college programs in the United States, including Cal-Berkeley, Saint Mary’s, Stanford, UC-Santa Barbara, and San Diego State.We progress players up the ranks through each division, and by the time we graduate our seniors, many have an opportunity to pursue a college degree through the connections made by rugby. In 2012 we had 13

players graduate out of our program and 12 are playing rugby while attending college this fall.” Rugby is the fastest growing team sport in the United States. It is a physical and spectacular sport that has a two-centuries old tradition of character building and sportsmanship. Rugby is the contact team sport of choice in many countries around the world. The Rugby World Cup is the third most watched televised sports event in the World after the Olympics and the Soccer World Cup. The seven-a-side version of the game, known as Rugby Sevens, has been admitted into the Olympic Games from Rio de Janeiro in 2016 onwards. San Diego Youth Rugby is affiliated with USA Rugby.

Education Matters/Opinion Money spent, money saved BY MARSHA SUTTON C o n tinuing with last w e e k â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s theme of s c h o o l board agenMarsha Sutton da items concerning financial matters and policies and procedures, some decisions and actions taken in the San Dieguito Union High School District are mildly noteworthy. SDUHSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special education costs will be lower this year, according to an Aug. 22 board report submitted by Mike Grove, SDUHSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate superintendent of educational services. The number of students placed in non-public schools (NPS) dropped, from 52 last year to 48 this year. And the number of students placed by the district in residential treatment centers (RTC) dropped from 16 to nine this year. RTCs are facilities where students live fulltime, and NPSs are privately run day schools that students are transported to and from by the district.

This decrease of 11 students previously placed in facilities outside the district resulted in a savings of about $1 million to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund, Grove said. All 11 have been brought back into the district in district-created special education programs. These programs cost the district about $500,000, resulting in a potential decrease in encroachment on the general fund for special education of about $500,000 this year. Another four or five students may return to the district later this year, he said, which would save more money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe we can serve those kids much more cheaply than a residential treatment center because those can be anywhere from $90,000 to $140,000 a year to place one student there,â&#x20AC;? Grove said. Grove cited two primary reasons for the drop in special education costs: the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of newlydesigned special ed programs and the return of some former NPS and RTC students who received ap-

ROLLS-ROYCE SAN DIEGO

propriate treatment and can now be integrated back into the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already existing special ed programs. San Dieguitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new program to accommodate special ed students who formerly qualified for RTC or NPS facilities is called Seaside Prep and is housed at Torrey Pines High School. Grove said the district worked closely with special education attorneys and advocates to design Seaside Prep, to ensure that the program would adequately serve studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as we can provide appropriate services, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the right service for the right kid,â&#x20AC;? Grove said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we still have large numbers of kids in non-public schools and in RTCs, because we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve all kids.â&#x20AC;? The district identified the students it felt could be well-served at Seaside Prep, and Grove said there was little resistance from parents. The alternative is sending their children to a distant residential facility that can be as far away as Texas or Utah, or having them ride a bus nearly an hour each way

to attend an NPS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most parents want their kids to be near home or school,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want them to go to community schools if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a program that can support them.â&#x20AC;? Title and salary adjustment Also at that meeting, board members discussed a revision in title and salary for the position of executive director of curriculum and instruction. The district asked the board to approve a title change, to executive director of educational services, with a corresponding bump in salary to $144,772 from $137,009. Board member John Salazar objected, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deficit spending. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deficit spending to give raises.â&#x20AC;? Salazar said the change would mean the high school principals would now no longer be the highest-paid administrators at the noncabinet level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our principals should be the highest paid besides the cabinet and the superintendent because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the front lines,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if we do this, very soon weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to raise the salary of our principals. I think this is a ripple

BUGATTI SAN DIEGO

effect.â&#x20AC;? Board member Joyce Dalessandro strongly objected to Salazarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;First, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to point out that we are not raising anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary. We are redefining, re-imagining, a position that has a great deal of responsibility, a great deal of time commitment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; certainly every bit as much of a time commitment as a high school principal, and a lot more.â&#x20AC;? The amount of money in the salary increase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $7,763 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was small, she argued, and is trivial if it makes the difference in attracting high-quality candidates. She also said the board should follow the recommendation of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrators who she called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best, the brightest administrators in the region and beyond, who are fiscally conservative, who do not steer us wrong.â&#x20AC;? Board president Barbara Groth also supported the change, saying the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principals would have more incentive to apply for higher-level positions if there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a pay cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a logical progression for them to step in on this level but they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are

the ones we need to attract to this position.â&#x20AC;? Chicken or egg Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the role of the position has evolved since the job description and salary were reviewed in 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new role â&#x20AC;Ś represents a significant increase in responsibilities in both scope and relevance to district priorities,â&#x20AC;? Schmitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe, and our experience in recruiting for the position proved, that these expanded roles and responsibilities both justify and require a salary commensurate with responsibilities and skills and experience required.â&#x20AC;? The position was formerly held by Grove until he was promoted this summer to associate superintendent, taking Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former job after Schmitt was promoted to superintendent. Grove said for a few years he and Schmitt discussed rewriting the job description, changing the title and revising the salary level to more accurately reflect the positionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increased responsibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a particularly high priority at the time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Sponsors of Fletcher Cove Initiative responsible for cost of special election The sponsors of the Fletcher Cove Community Center Party Policy Initiative and those opposing the excessive occupancy, frequency and unlimited alcohol outlined in the Initiative can agree on one thing: It is a mess — an expensive one for the taxpayers of Solana Beach who must now fork over $250,000 for the special election triggered by the sponsors of the Voter Initiative. Yet that same small group of sponsors who stood before City Council, demanding that the issue go to a city-wide vote, is desperately trying to turn the tables and blame the City Council for the cost of the special election. History speaks for itself. In June of 2013, the City Council was faced with a proposal to rent out the Community Center that was excessive and simply not feasible. The proposal demanded two events per weekend with 100 guests and unlimited alcohol. The Coastal Commission weighed in and stated that the City could not set aside public parking in the Distillery Lot for these events. Moreover, an independent traffic study confirmed that there is not enough parking to accommodate parties of more than 50 people. In addition, the City Council had to consider the effects unlimited alcohol at a family park would have on public safety and the character of Solana Beach. The proposal, as outlined, was not feasible due to parking, traffic and safety issues. The City Council worked hard to find a workable solution — one that would not have such major impacts on our beautiful Fletcher Cove Park and beach. This compromise included fewer people, less frequency and safeguards on alcohol, all in an attempt to reduce parking, traffic, safety and noise problems. Yet despite the fact that City Council established a reasonable Use policy, the sponsors of the Party Policy Initiative continued to push forward with the original policy that was already deemed unworkable. Mr. Golich, a primary sponsor of the Initiative, stood before City Council on Aug. 7, 2013 and delivered an ultimatum, “…we want a decision made by the voters of Solana Beach. We encourage the council to adopt the provisions of the initiative rather than the measures under discussion. Short of that, the Friends will continue with the petition drive.” Even though the City Council established a policy allowing celebrations such as weddings and anniversary parties with alcohol for a nominal fee, sponsors of the Party Policy Initiative claim it isn’t enough and continue to fight for more. The group hired paid signature gatherers who lied to residents, telling them such things as “the Community Center is closed”; “a couple people who live next door don’t want anyone else to use it”; or “it won’t affect parking because events are only in the evening” — all false statements intended to get people to sign a frivolous initiative. None of those who signed were told it could cost taxpayers $250,000. And Mary Jane Boyd and Tom Golich deliberately turned in the signed petition before Nov. 1 to ensure they would get their special election. The sponsors of the Party Policy Initiative demanded a vote by the people. Now they are telling residents that the City Council must adopt their Initiative in order to deter the cost of the special election they, themselves, demanded, orchestrated and deliberately triggered when they submitted the signed petition in late August. Make no mistake, the sponsors of this Initiative wanted a special election and made sure they got one. They can’t blame anyone for cost but themselves. Kim Burnett, Solana Beach

Solana Beach special election: Don’t be fooled There is only one reason why Solana Beach is facing a special election to decide on which private party policy will be put in place for the Fletcher Cove Community Center (FCCC). The group favoring the most intensive use of the FCCC was not happy with the City’s original compromise policy so they gathered the required signatures needed to put their Private Party Initiative on the ballot in a special election. The Initiative group had the option of waiting until November to turn in their petition signatures which would have allowed the City to consolidate this vote with the June primary, thus saving the City from holding a special election which will cost the City upwards of $250,000. But Mary Jane Boyd and Tom Golich chose instead to submit their signatures before November, knowing full well this move would force a costly special election. Perhaps sensing that this expensive election doesn’t make their rush to force the election so palatable to the general public we are now seeing editorials from the Initiative group (such as Jim Nelson and Dick Freeland’s recent letters) asking the Council not to hold this election and to instead adopt their Private Party Initiative rather than the compromise policy adopted by the City. These recent editorials from the group favoring the most intensive use of the FCCC fail to mention that their Policy overrides two City laws (regarding parking requirements and the serving of alcohol at City parks), as well as the fact that it cannot be modified without going to another public vote. I urge the community to support the fair and reasonable policy that the Council has adopted and which, most importantly, can be modified over the years without requiring an election. Don’t be fooled. The sponsors of the Private Party Initiative are the only ones responsible for the cost to taxpayers for this upcoming special election. Victoria Cypherd, Solana Beach

Adopt the Initiative filed in City Hall Dear City Council of Solana (not Slum) Beach: Sounds like the Solana Beach City Council has lost touch with the majority of those who elected them. Do you want us to become the laughing stock of Southern California? I can just picture the cartoons of a “City Trained” bartender plus a security guard watching over the family toasting their relatives’ 50th anniversary. And it better not be a large family, ‘cuz only 50 can come to watch their video! What kind of nonsense is that? And, everyone better have their hearing aids turned up ‘cuz no microphone will be allowed! Enjoy the ocean breezes out on the patio? No, not if you’re holding one of those two drinks you’re allowed. What has happened to the Solana Beach we once knew? Please, City Council, let the existing Municipal Code handle the parties at the Fletcher Cove Community Center just as it governs all the other parties, celebrations, receptions, large meetings, charity events, football gatherings and every other large home gathering in our neighborhoods. Get rid of your silly rental agreement and adopt the Initiative filed in City Hall! And please do so before you make the City spend over $200,000 for a special election to hear from the nonprejudiced majority of our Solana Beach residents. Peggy Martin, Solana Beach

The bell has already rung In his recent letter, Richard Moore refers to those who agree with the City Council’s Fletcher Cove Community Center (FCCC) restrictions as “NIMBY’s”. The adjacent neighbors are not arguing that the FCCC, or its potential nuisance, be located in someone else’s back yard, the usual connotation of the phrase. I get the impression that Mr. Moore is using the phrase for its pejorative effect rather than its logical accuracy. Mr. Moore suggests using existing ordinances to control noise and alcohol. These can be used to fine people, or shut down a party, but they are after the fact: the bell has already rung. When it is practical to prevent a violation from occurring in the first place, as in the use of certified on-site personnel, this is the preferred approach. Mr. Moore suggests that the FCCC was there before the current neighbors, so they have no cause to complain. He uses airports as an analogy. Times change. The large adjacent parking lot in the cove is no longer there. The new FCCC has an appeal that did not previously exist. Much has changed. As for our airport, it has been there since 1925. New noise regulations were established in 1989 and 1999. Bill Howden, Solana Beach

Woodstock Festival in Solana Beach? Fletcher Cove Community Center is a charming building, not pretentious and very small. After a tasteful renovation it is now usable and is a perfect space to gather friends for a small celebration: the view of the Pacific makes it unique. I helped in the gathering of signatures to set up a special election, as the city council would not allow it to be rented out. Under pressure, the city council decided after enough signatures were gathered to allow a trial period, but with unrealistic restrictions and clauses, that are different from the City Ordinance. I urge the Council not to waste $200,000 on a special election but adopt an Initiative, which by only using the existing laws, really is a logical approach to the problem. If a group renting the facilities breaks the laws, the city would issue a fine. This Community Center is not going to attract a Woodstock festival. Irene de Watteville, Solana Beach

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Rancho Santa Fe Foundation announces The Patriots Initiative SUBMITTED BY RSF FOUNDATION “The Patriots Initiative will alter the way Americans support the men and women of our 21st century armed forces, and their families,” says Greg Hillgren, chairman and founder of The Patriots Initiative. On Sept. 17, the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation launched a defining new program that will begin to resolve the enduring hardship issues facing America’s military service members and their families. The Patriots Initiative has been created to become the foremost clearinghouse for philanthropy and reliable information addressing the critical needs of the nation’s all-volunteer warriors, veterans and their families. The Patriots Initiative (TPI) responds to the needs of philanthropic donors to quickly and effectively identify the most worthy nonprofits serving the military community in order to insure their contributions are directed for the greatest impact. The RSF Foundation has been a regional leader for nearly a decade in support of these causes and has built a unique capability and knowledge about the hundreds of charitable agencies that exist in this field. The Patriots Initiative now becomes the premier site enabling donors to confidently identify the causes and organizations they can trust. “This century, fewer than 1 percent of Americans will volunteer for military service and take on the vital responsibility of protecting our country and our freedoms,” Hillgren said. “While that’s the lowest military participation rate since the 19th century, it’s important that the value of military service remain in the forefront of our culture and core values as American citizens. “It’s a simple yet revolutionary new approach that will fundamentally change the way Americans embrace and support all military families. TPI eliminates the risk and amplifies the transparency and productivity for every single donor who wishes to make a difference in this impor-

tant effort,” Hillgren added. “There are hundreds of nonprofits emerging locally and across the nation to serve the needs of the military. The Patriots Initiative saw the critical need to simplify this process for donors and to help donors find their way through the maze of options. This is a true game-changer,” said Chuck Yash, TPI advisory board member. The Patriots Initiative will focus at the outset on identifying the most promising programs at the most productive charitable agencies both regionally and nationally. TPI will concentrate its initial efforts and philanthropy here. In 2015, The Patriots Initiative will begin a nationwide launch campaign establishing TPI regional chapters at well-established community foundations throughout the country. Those community foundations will bring regionalized awareness and donor focus to this philanthropic effort across a national “TPI-branded” platform. “The RSF Foundation has been actively engaged with this philanthropy for years, and saw the need to simplify this process for inspired donors who want their gifts to be truly meaningful. By creating The Patriots Initiative we have assumed the leadership of this challenge, and bring a brand new approach – a simple yet comprehensive solution to this arena,” said Christy Wilson, RSF Foundation executive director. Using a range of practical criteria, The Patriots Initiative’s innovative, breakthrough approach has carefully examined, analyzed and evaluated more than 100 charitable agencies that are emerging throughout the nation to address these military needs and serve these volunteer warriors and their families. Every charitable agency is then scored and rated on its merits, based on the results of this evaluation. In October, The Patriots

Initiative will release “The Directory,” the resulting list of charitable agencies that have passed this rigorous review and are deemed to be engaging best practices and effectiveness, and are considered suitable for TPI donors/members or any thoughtful philanthropist to confidently consider supporting. Donors who want to support America’s military service members, wounded and fallen, veterans and their families can now confidently do so simply by making their gifts directly through The Patriots Initiative at the RSF Foundation. When philanthropists join or donate through TPI, 100 percent of their gift will directly support the programs chosen by the donor. Donors may designate their gifts to specific charities or to any of three TPI funds (please go to www.thepatriotsinitiative.org for more details). Warriors in Transition: The Patriots Initiative will also provide unique resources such as a dynamic interactive matrix of corporate/ educational/training opportunities available to service members transitioning to the private sectors, as well as connections to professional/ industry-specific mentors/ advisors. Membership: Members of TPI will enjoy special privileges and unique opportunities to attend private guest speaker forums, meet, visit and learn directly from military leaders and veterans, and experience firsthand the solutions being delivered to these causes. “Simply said, our allvolunteer military service members and their families have earned and deserve the best we can give them,” Hillgren said. For more information about, and ways to contribute to The Patriots Initiative, please contact Debbie Anderson, programs manager, (at 858-756-0358 or debbie@ rsffoundation.org) or visit the website at www.ThePatriotsInitiative.org The Patriots Initiative™ is a registered trademark of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.

Handicapping the mayor’s race

BY GORDON CLANTON Because of the resignation of San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, city voters will go to the polls Nov. 19 with the future of the city and the region on the line. Everyone in San Diego County has a stake in this election. In 2012, the top four mayoral candidates were three Republicans and one Democrat. The Democrat (Filner) ran second in the primary and narrowly won the runoff against then-councilman Carl “DeMeano.” In 2013, the top four candidates are three Democrats and one Republican (Councilman Kevin Faulconer). Clearly the local Republican Party has been more disciplined, more successful at discouraging other candidates from entering the fray. Indeed, the Republicans already have made their endorsements in all county races in 2014 – with the notable exception of the same Carl “DeMeano,” now running for Congress against Scott Peters. Wonder why the GOP will not endorse the guy they supported a year ago? As for the opposition? Will Rogers said, “I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.” Local Dems are divided because the Democrat who polls best also is the newest Democrat, former assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, who ran third in the 2012 mayor’s race. He was an independent a year ago and

a Republican a few months earlier. Critics will suggest that he is part of the Opportunist Party. Three presumably more progressive Dems will divide the primary vote, all but assuring Fletcher a place in the runoff – but also helping to ensure that Faulconer cannot win the election in the primary. They are Councilman David Alvarez (from Barrio Logan), former city attorney Mike Aguirre (able guy known for his combative style – just what we need after Filner), and historical preservationist Bruce Coons (the darkest horse). I suspect that many local Democrats, like the French, will vote their hearts in the primary and then pragmatically unite behind Fletcher in the runoff – because for them it is better to have a new, moderate Dem mayor than an old, conservative Republican. But this will be hard for many progressive Democrats because of their high expectations following Filner’s election. And the special election will draw fewer voters and more conservative voters than the 2012 presidential election. This gives hope to the Faulconer campaign, even though Democrats outnumber Republicans in San Diego 40 to 27 percent. Indeed, independents (DTS) outnumber Republicans 28 to 27 percent.

Calling creatures great and small: Saint Peter’s blesses animals Oct. 5 Calling all furry, feathered or scaled friends: St. Peter’s Del Mar will honor the feast of Saint Francis — an early advocate of animals and the environment — with its own annual blessing of animals at the 5 p.m. service on Saturday, Oct. 5. Saint Peter’s welcomes church and community members to bring their pets (typically leashed or caged) for a blessing, and a thoughtful service about the ways that people and their pets enhance each other’s lives. The service takes place in the church’s outdoor courtyard. St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is located at 334 14th St in Del Mar village, one block east of the 101.

PROJECTS continued from page 2 den centers, according to the city report. In 2004, the city approved a project by the Catholic Diocese of San Diego — the property’s owner — to build a church campus, including a worship center and school. According to the city report, the diocese decided not to build the project, and the permit has expired. Kilroy has applied to change the designation to “employment center,” which would allow such uses as scientific research, corporate headquarters, research and development, light industrial/manufacturing, light warehousing and professional and corporate offices. A hotel of up to 150 rooms would also be allowed, according to the staff report. Clark said a proposed project on the site would have to address potential impacts on the neighboring preserve lands, as well as traffic and density issues. Steve Scott, senior vice president with Kilroy, said

his company has not yet developed specific plans for the project, but that it would be compatible with other land held by the company in the same area, which has either been developed or approved for office buildings. The company has worked well with the community on other projects and expects to do so for this parcel, Scott said. “Absolutely, we’re very confident we’ll be to create a plan that addresses the various stakeholders’ interests.” Clark said his planning group does have concerns about both proposals’ compatibility with the existing community plan. Gary Levitt, president of Sea Breeze Properties, said his company has purchased the commercial portion of a previously approved residential development called Rhodes Crossing. As approved, the project includes apartments, a shopping center and selfstorage units. Levitt, who also serves as chairman of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board, said Sea Breeze wants to eliminate the self-storage facility and create a mixed-use, pe-

destrian-friendly project. “We are going to work with the community to come up with plans for the property, much more of a mixed-use urban feeling, rather than a big-box shopping center,” Levitt said. The project would include shops, retail, some office and residential units, Levitt said, and his company hopes to break ground in early 2015. The community plan amendment initiated by Sea Breeze would change the designation on the land from a combination of commercial regional and medium-high density residential to local mixed-use, according to the city staff report. Local mixed-use allows a “variety of neighborhoodserving commercial, employment, civic and residential uses in a mixed-use environment,” said the staff report. No dates have been set for further hearings on either project. Both projects must go before local planning boards, the city Planning Commission and ultimately, the San Diego City Council, for approval.

Cathedral Catholic High School welcomes Australian athletes Cathedral Catholic High School recently hosted 27 student-athletes, their coaches and teachers from St. Laurence College of Brisbane Australia (http://www.slc.qld.edu.au). A Catholic school of the Christian Brother tradition, St. Laurence is one of Australia’s finest all boys’ schools. The students from Australia stayed with students from CCHS on their visit. They played local high school rugby players from Cathedral Catholic and other high school rugby programs on Sept. 21. Their administration has visited Cathedral Catholic school twice before to look at Cathedral’s work with iPads. Cathedral is hoping to develop a partnership with them, similar to the partnership Cathedral has with the Catholic schools in Argentina. Visit www.cathedralcatholic.org. Photos/Anna Scipione

MONEY continued from page 16 The position is a promotion in title for a high school principal but the pay is lower. No internal candidates applied, and Grove said most of the external, qualified candidates indicated the job represented a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantâ&#x20AC;? pay cut, with reduced benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we went through that process, we recognized that if we were going to get someone who was qualified to take the position that we were going to need to increase the pay,â&#x20AC;? he said. Grove said he had hoped to find a qualified candidate at the current salary level, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because no one wants to be spending more money right now.â&#x20AC;? But no luck. To cut corners and save money over the last few years of the recession, Grove said the practice has been to eliminate one administrative position by combining two positions, rewriting job descriptions, increasing responsibility, and bumping up the pay slightly. Schmitt said the elimination last year of two management positions saved the district nearly $250,000. The motion to revise the job description and increase the salary level passed

4-1. This was not just an academic exercise. A candidate in the wings was interested in the position but reluctant because of the salary. Had he taken the job without the salary change, Grove said it would have represented about a $10,000 pay cut. The chicken or egg question comes to mind. Which came first, the candidate or the need to make changes to the jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title and salary? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chicken was the redesign of the position, and we were trying to be cheap on the egg but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Grove said. After formal approval to change the title and salary by the board on Aug. 22, Jason Viloria started his new job on Aug. 26 as SDUHSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director of educational services at a base salary of $144,772. Viloria, who reports to Grove, was formerly Irvine Unified School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal of Woodbridge High School. Getting money back Last week, when I discussed the practice of change orders to work contracts that increase the amount after the contractor has already been chosen, I suggested that the system seems ripe for abuse. After the scope of the work is increased through change orders, the additional work is

generally given to the firm first awarded the contract without going out to bid again. I specifically mentioned to watch for change orders for contractors working with San Dieguito as it proceeds with its Proposition AA facilities bond money, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate to give credit where credit is due. At the Sept. 19 meeting, five change orders were presented but this time in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor, resulting in a decrease in the contracted amount for work done at the two middle schools in Encinitas, Oak Crest and Diegueno. This resulted in a total reduction and savings of $335,609. Taxpayers win on this one. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

AUTHOR continued from page 4 it was incredible. They can never take that away.â&#x20AC;? With the attention from â&#x20AC;&#x153;WIREDâ&#x20AC;? he was able to get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;high-poweredâ&#x20AC;? New York agent and decided to try to work with one of the big five publishers. He was able to secure a six-figure offer from Tor-Forge. Over the summer he was invited to ThrillerFest in

New York with authors such as Michael Connelly and R.L. Stine, an experience he said was like fantasyland to get to meet all these superstars of the genre who happen to be nice, friendly and ego-free. He said one of the ThrillerFest speakers, author Anne Rice, talked about how brutal the business is and recalled crying when getting the offer to publish â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interview with a Vampire.â&#x20AC;? He said R.L. Stine said that in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even sure he would make it if he were just starting out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so tough that everybody who has become a superstar feels like they won the lottery,â&#x20AC;? Richards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The result is they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a big ego because they feel so lucky to do what they love.â&#x20AC;? He said he knows thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of great books out there and, for some reason, lightning strikes the lucky few. The idea behind â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cureâ&#x20AC;? stemmed from an article Richards was reading about the difference in brain physiology between psychopaths and normal folk. A professor at the University of Wisconsin was doing MRIs on psychopathic

prisoners and exploring the fascinating science of psychopathy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people who are totally ruthless, selfish, brilliant liars, with no shame and no fear, representing about 1 percent of the population. Richards called the professor who does the MRIs on prisoners and had a 90-minute conversation about how the professor sets up a semitrailer with an MRI in the prison yards and psychopaths come in, not chained or restrained and with no guards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was incredulous, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you kidding me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the guts of this guy,â&#x20AC;? Richards said. After his conversation, Richards knew he had to write this book and developed the character of Erin Palmer, the young student who had an encounter with a psychopath as a young girl that motivates her to study and try to â&#x20AC;&#x153;eradicate these monsters off the earth.â&#x20AC;? Richards said he is close to finishing his fourth book, which he feels could be his best yet. For now, pick up â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cureâ&#x20AC;? at any book seller or on Amazon.com.

SPORTS continued from page 4 son to 5-0. Field hockey: Torrey Pines outscored its opponents by a combined 13-0 as the Falcons went 3-0 in pool play at the Serra tournament on Sept. 21. The Falcons opened with the 10-0 trouncing of Mira Mesa and then went on to defeat Cathedral Catholic 1-0 and La Costa Canyon 2-0. Madi Coughlin scored three goals and Rylie Pope scored two goals to lead the Falcons in the Mira Mesa game. Sami Cirino scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only goal for Torrey Pines against Cathedral Catholic. Dons goalie Abi Grosse had 12 saves. Gaby Jimenez scored one goal and had one assist and Shannon Yogerst added one goal in the LCC game. Falcons goalies Grace Trupe and Katie Gitre combined for the shutout. Note: Del Mar resident Cathie Anderson took second place at the International Tennis Federation Super-Seniors World Team Championships earlier this month in Vienna, Austria. Anderson represented the United States Tennis Association as an individual in the Althea Gibson Cup team on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over70-circuit.

Sallie Ann Kittle (center) won a contest through Emeritus to be reunited with her daughter Marianna Burdette, right, whom she hadn’t seen in almost nine years. Her daughter Elizabeth Heyde, left, lives in Carmel Valley.

Mother and daughter reunited thanks to Emeritus contest BY KAREN BILLING Emeritus at Carmel Valley resident Sallie Ann Kittle recently celebrated a special reunion. The senior living home held a communitywide party for Kittle and two of her daughters, one of whom she had not seen for almost nine years. Sallie Ann held both of their hands and sang along to “You Are My Sunshine” — tears were streaming from everyone’s eyes. “There’s not words to describe it, it’s so precious,” said Sallie Ann of the reunion. “I really longed to see her. I missed her so much.” Sallie Ann’s emotional reunion with daughter Marianna Burdette of South Carolina was the result of a nationwide Emeritus contest. Of more than 500 Emeritus residents, Sallie Ann was one of 12 winners in the Emeritus Family ReConnects contest. “ReConnects is just an ideal expression of our family values, our slogan is ‘Our family is committed to yours’,” said Emeritus at Carmel Valley Executive Director Fred Jackson. “We are

very, very delighted that Sallie was a winner.” Sallie Ann, 76, has lived in Carmel Valley since December 2012. Two of her daughters, Elizabeth Heyde and Maggie Osburn, both live in Carmel Valley and moved their mother to San Diego from Mississippi to be closer to them. Sallie Ann had been living in Emeritus’ Meridian, Mississippi location — an art lover, Sallie Ann packed up all of her beautiful artwork and started a new life in Carmel Valley. “I love having her here. She has handled the move like a pro, I’m so proud of her, ” said Heyde, who visits her mother nearly every day. Jackson helped Sallie Ann enter her winning submission. Drawing on her experience as an English major, Sallie Ann wrote about how much a reunion would mean to her. She wrote about how her daughter Marianna lives with her own daughter (Sallie Ann’s granddaughter) and her family

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although former Del Mar resident Roy Kerckhoffs became interested in photography when he got his first camera at 10 years old, he didn’t begin working as a part-time photographer until he moved to San Diego from the Netherlands. Now a 40-year-old researcher at the University of California San Diego, Kerckhoffs also owns Eyeball Photography, where he creates high-contrast black and white photographs and selectively or fully hand colors the photos with transparent paint. For the fourth time, Kerckhoffs will be among the local and regional juried artists featured along Camino Del Mar during the annual Del Mar Taste & Art Stroll on Sunday, Oct. 6, in the village of Del Mar. “I still have a connection with Del Mar, because it’s where I first moved when I first came to the U.S.,” said Kerckhoffs, who moved to Del Mar in 2003 and relocated to the city of San Diego two years later. “I was surprised to see the art festivals when I came to the U.S. We have street festivals in Holland, but nothing like these art festivals. It gives artists a nice opportunity to connect directly with the patrons. You can talk about your work and answer questions. It’s more personal.” Organized by the Del Mar Village Association, the Taste & Art Stroll will feature dozens of artists, more than 25 Del Mar restaurants, several music acts and kidfriendly activities. “We have a lot of artistic people here and we have a wonderful dining community here,” said Del Mar resident Karen Powell, a board member of the Del Mar Village Association, an organization of Del Mar residents, business owners and property owners dedicated to en-

And this is just a way to bring that to everyone right in the local area and the surrounding communities.” For the first time, Taste & Art Stroll will include a festival for dogs, where event-goers are invited to bring their four-legged friends to experience the K-9 corner, featuring dog treats, specialty pet products and services, pet adoptions from local shelters and organizations, and a “Puparazzi” photo booth. “We’ve always had a pet stroll in conjunction with the Taste & Art Stroll because so many people bring their dogs and they really seem to enjoy it,” Powell said. “We thought maybe the Fido Festival would sort of pump up the event and add a new element to it.

Author delves into parents’ mysterious deaths to help others cope with violent loss

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY PAT SHERMAN Though more than three decades have passed, San Diego writer Larry Edwards will never forget the day his parents and two siblings set sail from San Diego, heading off on a much-anticipated, high-seas adventure. The trip would result in the violent, unsolved deaths of his parents, Jody and Loren Edwards. Larry Edwards, a member of the La Jolla Writers Group and a former San Diego Magazine business editor, recounts the story in his new book, “Dare I Call It Murder?: A Memoir of Violent Loss.” The memoir is his ongoing attempt to set the record straight about his parents’ deaths, and to help others manage the loss of a loved one from a murder or violent crime. He was in La Jolla recently for a booksigning at Warwick’s and took part in a Sept. 21 public ceremony honoring the survivors of violent loss at the Crime Victims Oak Garden on Cara Way off the Mercy Road exit of Interstate 15, held in observance of National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims (Sept. 25). The Edwards’ tragic voyage A carpenter by trade, Loren Edwards sold the house he built and raised his family in to finance the boat he would help construct for the 1977-’78 South Pacific excursion. “My parents basically had all of their savings sunk into that boat,” said Larry, who was 28 at the time. “They were initially headed to the Marquesas Islands, then Tahiti and points beyond. “We had some issues in the family, like any family can have, and my father thought that by taking the cruise it would bring us all together into one big, happy ‘Brady Bunch.’ ” The opposite occurred. Larry Edwards sailed the boat from Seattle to San Diego with his parents. They were later joined in San Diego by his brother, Gary Edwards, and half-sister, Kerry Edwards. Over the course of two months in San Diego, during which the family prepared itself and the boat for the voyage, tensions between Larry and his brother grew to a fever pitch, and Larry backed out of the trip. “We came close to having a fist fight and I said this isn’t worth it to me,” Larry said. “I could see that it was not going

Author Larry Edwards to be a pleasant trip if the two of us were on the boat together. My dad would not tell my brother he couldn’t go, so I left the boat.” A family friend, Lori Huey Oskam, took Larry’s place. Two months later, Larry received a call informing him that his father was dead and that his sister had suffered a fractured skull and concussion. Soon after, he learned that his stepmother, who raised him as her own, also was dead. Larry Edwards never believed the account his brother, Gary, told the FBI and reporters — that his dad fell and hit his head on the ship’s steering wheel, and

Loren and Jody Edwards that his mother was so distraught that she later committed suicide aboard the ship, shooting herself with a gun Gary purchased in Seattle before they left. “My mother asked my father not to allow my brother to bring the gun on the boat,” Larry said. “There were problems on the boat. My father alluded to them in his journal and my mother told friends, who were on other boats traveling to roughly the same destination, that she was considering leaving the boat in Tahiti if my brother did not leave.” Gary Edwards told the FBI that he, his sister and Oskam buried the bodies at sea so they wouldn’t decompose before they landed in Tahiti. Though the FBI focused on Gary as their prime suspect, he was never charged or prosecuted, partially because there were no bodies and thus no forensic evidence. Larry’s sister, Kerry, initially said she did not remember much due to her head injury, while the family friend claims to have slept through the ordeal. However, Larry said his brother’s radio communications with other boats at the time contradicts his later FBI testimony. Kerry later testified under oath that her brother [Gary] assaulted and raped her — which triggered the violence on the boat. “We have her on the record as having stated that, but she still refused to tell us anything more, in terms of the deaths of our parents,” Larry said. Larry, who has since been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, said he began See LOSS, page B26

Upcoming San Diego Film Festival offers a variety of unique events BY PAT SHERMAN Following last year’s successful run at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (MCASD) on Prospect Street, the San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) is increasing its La Jolla film screenings fourfold at ArcLight Cinemas in the UTC Westfield Mall. Meanwhile, SDFF will return to MCASD for its toast to director-producer Judd Apatow (“Bridesmaids,” “The 40-Year-Old-Virgin,” “Pineapple Express”), during which Apatow will receive the SDFF’s 2013 Visionary Filmmaker Award (last year’s nod, also presented at MCASD, went to filmmaker Gus Van Sant). The San Diego Film Festival runs Oct. 2-Oct. 6. SDFF Chair Dale Strack said festival organizers are working in concert with local business owners and restaurateurs to make the event economically beneficial for all, via a “pass-holder perks program,” where La Jolla businesses with a sign in their window will offer free menu items and other discounts to festival attendees who display their passes. (See a list of participating businesses at sdfilmfest.com) “This is the first step to a bigger footprint in La Jolla,” Strack said. “We know that ultimately we’re going to be able to generate 10 times what we spend here (for) the community in the form of restaurants, hotels and a variety of other entertainment, as well as shopping experiences.” Strack said several hundred filmmakers will arrive from across the country for the screenings. “There will be plenty of Q&A’s that go with the films over at ArcLight,” Strack assured. One of the most talked about screenings, the deliciously funny and dark drama, “August: Osage County” (starring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Ewan McGregor) screens at ArcLight, 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5. “A lot of people think that Meryl Streep will be nominated for best actress for her role,” SDFF Vice President Tonya Mantooth said. Strack added, “It just hit Toronto (International Film Festival) and now we’re pulling it out here — that’s big for La Jolla and for San Diego in general.” Attendees with a VIP pass can access a VIP Lounge, Oct. 4-6 at Seasons 52 restaurant, 4505 La Jolla Village Drive. Also screening at ArcLight is “Ride with Larry,” a docu-

The highlight of festival screenings in La Jolla will be the San Diego debut of ‘August: Osage County,’ starring Meryl Streep (center, above), Julia Roberts (right, above) and Ewan McGregor (not pictured), 8 p.m. Oct. 5 at ArcLight Cinemas in the UTC Westfield Mall. Courtesy photos mentary that follows a retired police captain with Parkinson’s disease as he travels 300 miles across South Dakota to demonstrate the power of maintaining an active body and positive outlook. It screens at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 5. Elswhere in San Diego, a weekend of screenings at Reading Theatre in the Gaslamp kicks off with the West Coast Premiere of “12 Years a Slave,” 7 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 2. Produced by Brad Pitt, the 2013 historical drama is based on the autobiography of a free black man in the mid-1800s who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. “It’s getting a tremendous amount of Oscar buzz for best picture,” Mantooth said. “We will have the two producers and the screenwriter there for the Q&A.” SDFF also will honor actress Mariel Hemingway with a humanitarian award for her role in the documentary, “Running From Crazy,” which explores her quest for a greater understanding of her family’s history of substance abuse, suicide and mental illness. Executive produced by Oprah Winfrey, it screens 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of San Diego. Strack said one of the larger missions of SDFF and the San Diego Film Foundation is to reestablish the San Diego Film Commission, which was formed in 1976 by Mayor Pete Wilson and disbanded two months ago when the city’s Tourism Authority laid off its last remaining members.

Actress Mariel Hemingway shares family history in documentary to raise awareness of mental health; Hemingway to be honored at San Diego Film Festival BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Mariel Hemingway said she has been “running from crazy” her whole life, the granddaughter of writer Ernest Hemingway shared her family’s history in a new documentary to raise awareness and understanding of mental health. In coordination with Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, the San Diego Film Festival will honor Hemingway with a Humanitarian Award on Oct. 5 for her role in “Running from Crazy,” which focuses on her personal history of mental illness and the suicides of seven relatives, including her sister and grandfather. “I’m just thrilled that this film is getting the kind of exposure needed to help mental illness come out of the darkness,” said Hemingway, 51. “[The award] is another opportunity to make mental illness visible.” Directed by Oscar winner Barbara Kopple, “Running from Crazy” took two years to complete and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. By using archival family footage, the film explores the Hemingway legacy. Kopple frames the film with Hemingway’s relationship to her model sister, Margaux, who took her own life in 1996. From examining the suicides of her family members to addressing her own battle with anxiety and depression, Hemingway said making the documentary was “challenging at times.” “Some things were hard,” said Hemingway, an actress, author and mother of two daughters. “But actually, once you speak about them out loud, the power that they have over you dissipates.” Hemingway said she spent years searching for answers to her unhappiness before she discovered a path toward happiness, which includes healthy eating and living more

Mariel Hemingway simply. She writes books about her life, yoga, nutrition and well-being, including her most recent book, “Running with Nature,” which was co-written by her partner Bobby Williams. “You can’t have mental wellness if you don’t have body wellness, and you can’t have body wellness if you don’t have mental wellness,” said Hemingway, who is also producing a film

Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice. For tickets to “An Evening with Mariel Hemingway,” which includes a discussion moderated by film critic Jeffrey Lyons and a dessert reception, call 1-800-82-SHARP or visit Sharp.com/mesavista. “I think the film is ultimately uplifting,” Hemingway said. “It should give people a feeling of, ‘Wow, there’s something I can do. I’m not alone.’” For more information about the San Diego Film Festival, visit sdfilmfest.com.

Director Judd Apatow will be honored at the festival. “This is a very unfriendly town right now for anybody who’s producing a film in this area,” Strack said. “We are standing for rebuilding some type of a film office function as soon as possible, but to do that in a smart way. “When you think about ‘Rocky,’ I’m sure you think about Philadelphia. When you think about ‘Good Will Hunting,’ you think Boston. We’re trying to bring that back (to San Diego. Everybody who participates in this festival is really helping San Diego to draw attention to itself and build the economy.”

‘How to Fest’ at SD Film Festival BY JEANNE FERRIS What makes a Film Festival different from going to the movies? A film festival is special because independent films, which have become the lifeblood of quality cinema, is not viewed anywhere else and the filmmakers are present at most of the screenings to discuss their films with the audience. Often this includes the director, actors, writers and producers. More than 1,400 films are submitted, mostly from the U.S. but also internationally, and less than 10 percent are selected for the festival. “This year, we have 108 slated for festival viewing,” said Dale Strack, the new chairman of the San Diego Film Festival (SDFF). “We are so excited about the line-up and have had over 1,200 submissions from some very talented, emerging filmmakers.” Independent filmmakers submit their films to festivals because it is their opportunity to see the audience react and speak with them directly. Also important is that their film is viewed by distributors who either buy or arrange distribution for their films into movie theaters in the U.S. and foreign markets. The criteria for an independent film are: •Features average about two hours in length and may be in any genre: action, drama, comedy, etc. •Documentaries are factual films, which are dramatic. •Shorts are short stories and are shorter than feature films, which are usually funded by film grants, non-profit organizations, or out-of pocket funds. They may also qualify for the Oscars, which are bestowed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Also presented in festivals are new big studio (i.e. Paramount, 20th Century Fox, etc.) films, which SDFF will be premiering before being released into movie theaters. The “festing” experience includes the public and filmmakers alike in panels and seminars. Panelists include directors, actors, critics, studio executives and other industry insiders who will discuss the movie business and movies. “I really enjoy the Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after the screenings. It is rare for filmmakers to have the opportunity to have direct interaction with an audience,” said Tonya Mantooth (Emmy Award-winning producer and See FEST, page B26

‘The Few’ face life changes common to us all BY DIANA SAENGER It was while watching a performance of Samuel Hunter and Davis McCallum’s production of “The Whale” at Playwrights Horizons that actor Gideon Glick said he became enthralled with their work. That’s why he jumped at a chance to play Matthew in their world premiere of “The Few,” opening Sept. 28 at the Old Globe in Balboa Park. Adapting to life’s changes is a prominent theme in the show. The Globe reports, “It’s a funny and bighearted play about our longing for connection and the barriers we place in our way.” “When I read the script, I felt connected to the character in terms of my life, as I’ve been playing a teenager for a long time,” Glick said. “Matthew is struggling with his idea of life. He has to become acclimated (to reality) to accept what life really is. Expectations have to change and that’s a big

I’m 25 and have to change from teen-age roles to more mature roles, so this part felt like a good segue for me.” “The Few” is set in an RV in Idaho where a trio struggles to keep a smalltown newspaper alive. The publication is mostly financed by personal ads from lonely truck drivers. When Oz (Eva Kaminsky) discovers that Bryan (Mi-

chael Laurence), the Publisher and her former boyfriend, is returning to town, it’s obvious that things are about to change. “Sam (Hunter) is from Idaho and writes what he knows,” Glick said. “He touches on something that is different than big plays that are glitzy and sexy by creating these great, almost mythic, American characters. I feel ‘The Few’ is almost a companion piece to ‘The Whale,’ which follows a man who struggles with his obesity. In watching this humongous man on stage, I had never seen anything like that; it was almost magical and something bigger than one’s self. The character. Bryan, in ‘The Few,’ is similar. My character, Matthew, romanticizes this great American wanderer who has seen the heart of America.” “The Few” also features the voices of 17 San

his characters,” Glick said. “That happens in this play as well as in ‘The Whale.’ These characters are flawed for the most part, yet we care about them so much that the audience hooks into that, and it’s a very moving experience at the end.”

Diegans, who portray the characters placing personal ads via an answering machine to the play’s struggling newspaper. Glick said the cast – which also includes Jenny Bacon (Voice of Cindy) – is wonderful, and he finds working with both the same director and playwright of “The Whale” and “The Few” has advantages.

“They’ve collaborated on several plays, so it’s comforting to be part of that relationship because they have a lot of trust in each other, and that trust gets handed down to the actors,” Glick said. He added that he believes audiences will quickly identify with this story. “(Playwright) Sam has a great pool of empathy for

CUCINA enoteca to open at Flower Hill Promenade Sept. 29 BY KRISTINA HOUCK North County fans of San Diego-based CUCINA urbana will soon be able to enjoy the California-inspired Italian kitchen and wine shop when CUCINA enoteca Del Mar opens Sept. 29 in the former Chevys Fresh Mex location at Flower Hill Promenade. “I have been wanting to open a restaurant in this particular location since 2004,” said proprietor and restaurateur Tracy Borkum. “I just really, really love this area of San Diego. I think

St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church and Notre Dame Academy to hold Oktoberfest, community invited Join St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church and Notre Dame Academy to celebrate Oktoberfest on Sunday, Sept. 29, from 12:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. This family festival for all ages will feature a EuroBungy Trampoline, a Surf Simulator, a Cliffhanger, as well as a variety of event food, Dippin’ Dots for those who love ice cream, as well as a wine and beer garden

includes Kensington Grill, Urban Kitchen Catering and CUCINA urbana, as well as Irvine-based CUCINA enoteca, which opened in December 2011. The two-story, 7,000-square-foot restaurant’s menu is similar to the San Diego and Irvine locations, featuring pasta, antipasti, pizza and other Italian classics made with local produce, organic and sustainable products. Although Executive Chef Joe Magnanelli oversees all CUCINA locations, Andrew Bachelier, his executive sous chef at CUCINA urbana, will be the chef de cuisine. The pair created a portion of the menu exclusive to the new Del Mar location. “It’s about true Italianstyle cooking that you would have in Italy, which means a lot of local sustainable product — produce, meats, fish,” said Borkum, who lives in San Diego. “There’s some richness to the menu, but then there’s also a lot of lightness to the menu, which is very true of

Italian cooking.” While the design is also similar to the other CUCINA locations, the Del Mar restaurant has an even more open floor plan. All service stations are all on the floor, including the pizza, cheese and salami station in the dining room, Borkum said. “We’re really excited about breaking the barrier between the back and the front,” Borkum said. “Everything’s out front. The kitchen is completely open. We’re not hiding anything. We want people to have that experience of being able to watch the chefs and the cooks prepare the food right in front of them.” Originally from London, Borkum moved to San Diego when she was a teenager. She began her career in the food industry with no formal training and opened her first restaurant, Kensington Grill, in 1995. Although she studied art history and theater in college, Borkum said her background and the food industry are similar. She believes the dining experience is like a theater performance. “We create a stage set when we design a restaurant, and we put on a play for an audience every night,” Borkum said. “The difference is that we’re just wanting the audience to participate more than when you’re sitting in a theater.” Although hours are not yet set, the latest venture from the Urban Kitchen Group will soft open for dinner on Sept. 29. Lunch will begin being served on Oct. 10. “Our mission statement is a trifecta of service, product and the experience of the space,” Borkum said. “I think those three things really come into one when you dine with us. I’m really proud of that. It definitely takes a huge team of people to make that happen.” For more information, visit www.cucinaenoteca.com.

Leonard Nimoy’s play ‘Vincent’ returns to Solana Beach’s North Coast Rep BY KRISTINA HOUCK After performing before sold out crowds earlier this year, French-born actor Jean-Michel Richaud is returning to star in Leonard Nimoy’s “Vincent” for a third time at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. “Every time we’ve been here, the show has sold out,” said 42-year-old Richaud. “I’m excited to be back!” Directed by Paul Stein, “Vincent” takes place shortly after Vincent Van Gogh’s death and focuses on the artist’s life in an imaginary tribute by his brother, Theo. Growing up in Paris, Richaud became fascinated by Van Gogh after first seeing his paintings at the Musée d’Orsay. The Los Angeles-based actor wasn’t too familiar with the artist’s writing, however, until his wife gave him a collection of Van Gogh’s letters to his brother. “It changed my life,” Richaud said. “It’s beautiful. They’re very intimate, very enjoyable to read. I was very moved. I needed to do something as an artist.” Looking for a way to bring Van Gogh’s life to the stage, Richaud discovered Nimoy’s play, which is inspired by “The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh.” The drama begins a few days after Van Gogh’s death, as rumors of his death are flying around Paris. His brother, Theo, tells his own version of the story in an attempt to set the record straight.

eZ Consignment Jean-Michel Richaud in “Vincent” Courtesy Photo “It’s a very funny play, but it’s also cathartic,” Richaud said. “I love it when people come up to me after the show and tell me what the play made them think of. A lot of times, it’s about a loss in the family and how they had to cope. The play deals with so many things that people go through.” Richaud portrays both brothers in the one-man show, which originally opened in Los Angeles in October 2012 and ran for 14 weeks. He has also performed “Vincent” in New York and toured France with the production. “It’s nerve-wracking. It’s exciting. It’s exhilarating,” said Richaud, who noted more than 100 pieces of Van Gogh’s paintings are digitally displayed in a framed screen on stage throughout sections of the play. “It was pretty scary the first few nights. I kept looking at the door thinking, ‘Maybe if I sneak out they won’t notice.’” An actor since he was 12 years old, Richaud studied theater at Paris’s National Conservatory and Columbia University. Although he has appeared in a number of films and television shows, and is a founding member of the theater company, The Next Arena, Richaud described starring in “Vincent” as a “one-of-a-kind experience.” “You won’t ever look at a Van Gogh piece the same way,” he said. “You’ll see Vincent’s way of looking at the world with love. It’s a very moving and educational experience.” “Vincent” will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Dr., Solana Beach.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Locally-based company allows moms to make money while working from home For 12 years, local resident Heidi Bartolotta worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative. But after having two daughters, she no longer wanted to work late and travel. She wanted to be home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The corporate environment just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very accommodating to moms,â&#x20AC;? said 42-year-old Bartolotta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say that they are, but when push comes to shove, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. They want the priority to be them versus your family.â&#x20AC;? To allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income, Bartolotta quit her job and founded Moms Making Six Figures with two other women in December 2009. The marketing company represents a U.S.based manufacturer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have really different backgrounds, but we all really wanted to have flexibility around our kids because we all have young children,â&#x20AC;? said Bartolotta, whose daughters are now 7 and 9 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when we started the company we would be as successful as we are today. We really just had an idea that there would be a lot of other women who were like us.â&#x20AC;? Today, Moms Making Six Figures has nearly 70 team members, half working at least 25 hours per week. Although based in San Diego, there are opportunities to take the business to other cities, Bartolotta said. In fact, team members live in Orange County and the Bay Area, as well as in Nevada, Arizona, Chicago and New York. Bartolotta said her team is comprised of women from very different education levels, backgrounds and work styles. Interested team members donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have a marketing background, but they do have to have self-motivation and the desire to succeed because they make their own schedules and work from home, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice. The flexibility is amazing,â&#x20AC;? Bartolotta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many moms like me. Most of us need a

Stacy Brown, Kara Lynch-Guthrie, Karree Cline, Kellee Wip dual income, especially in California. But when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a mom, you have kids, and you have all the responsibilities and activities that children have, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult trying to figure out a way to have a career and balance everything.â&#x20AC;? Looking to grow her team, Bartolotta said interested women can contact her by filling out a form on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.momsmakingsixfigures.com/contact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just request information,â&#x20AC;? Bartolotta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conversation, then you can decide if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that would be a good fit for you. Take the time to learn about us. It might be the best thing in the world for you.â&#x20AC;? Note: Business spotlights are developed through this newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Local residents chair Ronald McDonald House fundraiser BY KRISTINA HOUCK Since 1980, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego has provided a home away from home for families with critically ill or injured children being treated at local hospitals. Two Rancho Santa Fe residents are heading a fundraiser to support the organization’s efforts to help families in need. “They have a big impact on our community,” said Fernanda Whitworth, co-chair of the fourth annual ROMP gala, which takes place Oct. 5 at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe. “I feel like not everybody knows how important the Ronald McDonald House is for families in need.” Every year, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego has more than 5,000 resident guests. The ROMP gala helps fund the organization, which approximately 10,000 additional people visit each year for the first time, for meals, computer access and other essential supports close to the hospital. A mother of two young children, Whitworth volunteered as a committee member for the benefit, but she was initially hesitant when asked to chair last year’s gala. A week later, however, she had to take her then 2-year-old daughter to Rady Children’s Hospital. While they were waiting, they sat on a bench with a Ronald McDonald statue. It was then that Whitworth recalled going home after visits with her mother when she was dying of cancer. Sitting in Rady Children’s Hospital, she began thinking about parents whose children are in the hospital. That’s when she decided to plan the gala. “Most of the people at the event are fortunate to

Refreshing Inventory Sale of the Year

Fernanda and Ralph Whitworth have their kids healthy and have resources,” said Whitworth, who has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for six years. “Other kids sometimes fall in the crack. We kind of forget about the rest of San Diego or California that’s not as fortunate as we are.” Last year, more than 350 people attended the event and raised about $860,000. Organizers hope 400-450 attendees can help raise $1 million this year, Whitworth said. “I was excited after last year’s event,” she said. “I thought, ‘I’m able to do this. I’m able to have an impact and pass the word to others so together we can support this organization.’” Whitworth, along with Rancho Santa Fe resident Jennifer Gramins, is co-chairing this year’s gala, which a 30-member committee began planning in January. With “A Night at the Copacabana” theme, this year’s gala will feature gourmet dinner, a live and silent auction and celebrity entertainment. “I’m really exited for this year,” Whitworth said. “I think it’s been easier and going to be even better than last year. We have almost the same committee and it’s wonderful.” Known for his work on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” Emmy-nominated choreographer, dancer and recording artist Mark Ballas will provide entertainment with his life band. This year’s gala also features a live and silent auction with high-end prizes, including a private jet excursion to dine at the French Laundry in Napa Valley, a getaway for 30 people to a beachfront estate in Kona, Hawaii and an Indianapolis 500 experience. Additionally, Hoehn Motors is sponsoring a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA raffle. Raffle tickets cost $100 and are available until Oct. 4. A maximum of 4,000 tickets will be sold. “Be the change you want to see in the world,” said Whitworth, as she quoted Mahatma Gandhi and encouraged community members to attend the gala. “I think if everybody thinks like that, we can give a little bit of us,” Whitworth said. “I hope others will be there to support us and make this organization very solid.” To attend the ROMP gala, purchase tickets to the Hoehn Motors Mercedes-Benz car raffle and help support Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, visit www. rmhcsd.org.

Fanfaire Foundation Musicians to perform at Carmel Valley Library on Sept. 28 This special program of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids Playing for Kidsâ&#x20AC;? sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be presented at 1 p.m. in the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community on Sept. 28. It is the first in a Fanfaire-Foundation series that will celebrate the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second anniversary. It will feature pianists Michael Chen, Angie Gou, Adrian Liu, and Clara Truong; French hornist Christine Chen; and cellist Paul Maxwell. They will play solos and duets by Chopin, Dvorak, Liszt, Mozart, Paganini, Poulenc, and Prokofiev, and the love theme from the film Titanic. The program is free and will last 60 minutes. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids Playing for Kidsâ&#x20AC;? program was launched in October 2011. It enables musically gifted children to express and share their love of music with other children, further develop their creative skills, and build their self-confidence as performers. Its kids are also encouraged to excel in their studies and to learn the value of community service. The goal is that their passion for music will spark creativity and a sense of community in other young people so they can compete effectively in our science-based society. This is possible because playing music enhances the skills required for learning science and math. The library is located at 3919 Townsgate Drive in Carmel Valley.

Del Mar Garden Club celebrates 25th anniversary BY KRISTINA HOUCK If you stop by Del Mar’s post office on a Tuesday, you might see Marnie Mahoney tending to the garden. The Del Mar resident and other members of the Del Mar Garden Club continue to maintain the garden they first established in 1991. “It’s a real pleasure to be down there at the post office every Tuesday morning,” said Mahoney, who has lived in Del Mar since 1968. “The expressions of appreciation, which we get every week, makes you feel pleased and very happy that it was done in the first place. It’s something that everybody appreciates.” The Garden Club was formed in September 1988 after Mahoney invited a group of friends to her home to talk about gardening and possibly starting a club. By the next year, the dozen-member club grew to 35 members. In 1991, the club held its first fundraiser, a garden tour and plant sale, to establish the garden in front of the city’s post office. “The Garden Club was formed to promote the knowledge and love of gardening,” Mahoney said. “We talked about ways we could contribute to the beautification of the community. We weren’t just going to sit around and look at flowerpots. I thought there should be a purpose — that we accomplish something for the good of everybody.” Celebrating the organization’s 25th anniversary on Sept. 23 at the Powerhouse Community Center, garden club members looked back on the number of projects the club has participated in or led in more than two decades. Since the post office project, Garden Club members have beautified the public gardens at places such as the Del Mar City Hall and the Del Mar Library. Other projects

include the sidewalk garden plots at the 14th Street and Camino del Mar crosswalk area by Bully’s Del Mar and the Jimmy Durante Boulevard median. Although club members do a lot of the labor, they also work with the Public Works Department and Aztec Landscaping. In addition to maintaining several gardens in the community, the club is set to beautify 10th Street and work with the Del Mar Foundation to beautify the end of 18th Street, said Mary Friestedt, the club’s president. “Marnie Mahoney has been my inspiration,” said Friestedt, who moved to Del Mar in 1998 and joined the club in 2005. “I think of her as the George Washington of our club. She is a very classy lady who started this club and had high standards. We’ve tried to maintain those standards.” Today the club has 45 members and 16 perennial members. Members meet monthly from September through June, and attend educational programs and garden tours. “I love this club,” Friestedt said. “The people are absolutely phenomenal. We’re like a big family. It’s a wonderfully friendly, warm, loving, energetic, knowledgeable group of people. It’s really a joy to be a part of this club.” It’s not a surprise the club has reached this milestone anniversary, Mahoney said. In fact, membership continues to grow as the club recently accepted seven new members. “We have a lot of new, wonderful younger women that are full of energy and great ideas. That’s what keeps it going,” Mahoney said. “There’s also been such a tremendous amount of interest and gratitude expressed by the city over the years. It’s been a very worthwhile endeavor.”

Fall in love with cinnamon The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Nothing heralds autumn like the sweet, woodsy aroma of cinnamon. The spice perfumes entire airport terminals blessed with Cinnabon stores. Starbucks added Cinnamon Dolce Lattes to its repertoire (along with counter shakers for cinnamonphiles), while Ben & Jerry’s concocted Cinnamon Buns, blending caramel ice cream with cinnamon bun dough. Some old-school realtors put pans of cinnamoninfused water in a hot oven before open houses for an enticing aura of homebaked lovin’. Aside from its gustatory (and marketing) assets, cinnamon is one of the world’s most powerful healing spices. Cinnamon Wars Throughout history, the treasured cinnamon was used for everything from a measure of currency to a preservative for spoiling meat. In the 17th century, the coveted spice with enchanting culinary, aphrodisiacal and medicinal properties became the target of a bloody power struggle. The Dutch became fierce aggressors seizing the Portuguese owned island of Ceylon, the world’s biggest supplier of cinnamon. To further secure the lucrative cinnamon monopoly the Dutch scoped out a substantial source of the spice along India’s coast, and used strong-arm tactics on the local king to decimate the cinnamon supply. By 1833 the cinnamon monopoly had petered out as a handful of countries in South America and other tropical climes developed the horticultural know-how for growing cinnamon. Tale of Two Cinnamons The warm, fragrant spice has a doppelganger. While the “true” cinnamon native to Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, comes from the crumbly inner bark of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum

tree, a close imposter lurks from the Cinnamomum cassia plant, aka “Indonesian,” “Saigon” or “Chinese” cinnamon. A cinnamon detective can discern the genuine variety from the fake by clues of color, taste, appearance, texture and place of origin (on the label). The ground powder of the Ceylon form is a light brown or tan shade with a sweet and aromatic flavor, while the counterfeit has a reddish tinge, with a less sweet disposition and peppery undertones. When choosing sticks, the real thing has a smooth bark, and curls from one side, resembling a rolled up newspaper, while the less refined (and usually less expensive) cousin has a rough exterior, curling from both sides to the center. While both have health benefits, “true” Ceylon trumps its cassia copycat. Cassia contains more bloodthinning “coumarin,” so those on blood-thinning medication should steer clear of this variety. The Super Spice “True” Ceylon cinnamon is a super healing antioxidant powerhouse packed with calcium, iron, zinc, immune-boosting Vitamin C, fiber and manganese with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory properties. But that’s just the beginning. This amazing spice has been found to regulate blood sugar levels, boost lean muscle mass, jack up energy and vitality, and increase circulation. Cinnamon also puts the skids on digestive complaints, such as flatulence, bloating, nausea and indigestion, and wards off colds and the flu, urinary tract and yeast infections, along with the hiccups. Just a whiff seems to boost visualmotor skills, the ability to focus and memory. Don’t forget that! As an added boon, the volatile oils in cinnamon heat up the libido, stimulating more than just the gustatory appetite. From A(pple pie) to Z(ucchini bread) The multi-tasking cinnamon jazzes up both sweet and savories while adding a healthful antioxidant oomph. The marriage of apples and cinnamon is sheer culinary bliss whether the spice is incorporated in apple pies, cakes, cobblers, strudels or sauces. Awaken the taste buds in assorted breakfast foods from oatmeal, yogurt and scones to French toast and a cinnamon vanilla omelet. Whip up a brown sugar, butter

and cinnamon spread for toast, waffles or pancakes. Blend the spice in peanut or almond butter. Zip up couscous, quinoa, pilafs and rice or noodle puddings. Add to carrot, pumpkin and zucchini breads or muffins, biscottis and oatmeal raisin cookies. Concoct a Moroccan-style marinade with cinnamon, cumin, brown sugar and cayenne to dial up chicken, wild-caught fish or seafood. Put a pinch in turkey meatballs or meatloaves. Cinnamon Schticks • The word cinnamon is derived from the Greek root kinnaomon meaning “sweet wood.” • A blend of honey and cinnamon has been found to relieve achy, arthritic joints. • Cinnamon is one of the flavors used in cola drinks. • Lip enhancing glosses frequently contain cinnamaldehyde, (cinnamon’s essential oils) that causes intentional swelling for a full and pouty mouth.

WoW Festival to light up La Jolla Playhouse ... and beyond BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Something wow-nderful is coming to La Jolla Playhouse Oct. 3-6. It’s the Without Walls (WoW) Festival, a special event featuring site-specific works from around the world that will turn the LJP’s Theatre District into a Festival Village, a grand agora where free outdoor performances will be staged, food and drinks will be available, and people from all over San Diego will be able to interact with participating artists and each other. In partnership with UC San Diego’s Theatre & Dance Department and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Playhouse is offering an impressive array of entertainments at venues on campus and beyond with something to please every taste. Some of the notable ones follow; the categories are mine. This is just a small part of what WoW has to offer. If all goes well, the festival will become a biennial event. But don’t miss this year’s premiere, coming soon. • Tales of Two Women Enroute to Unhappy Endings (presented by UCSD Theatre & Dance Department) ‘Hedda’ing’ — M.F.A. candidate Sam Mitchell joins Norway-based dance theater artists Siri Jondtvedt and Snelle Hall to explore, in movement, some of the underlying issues in Ibsen’s classic play “Hedda Gabler.” The setting: the gardens of Do Ho Suh’s precariously balanced Stuart Collection artwork “Fallen Star,” on the roof of the Jacobs School of Engineering. ‘A Willow Grows Aslant: An Ophelia Story’ — M.F.A. candidates Kristin Idaszak, Natalie Khuen and Kate Jopson reimagine

If you go What: Without Walls (WoW) Festival When: Oct. 3-6 Where: La Jolla Playhouse Theatre District and other venues on-and-off UC San Diego campus Admission: WoW events are priced $5-$25; many are free Related Events: 7-10 p.m. Oct. 3, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla kicks off the festival with TNT, its signature Thursday Night Thing, including outdoor art-making and music by Lady Dottie & the Diamonds. For full schedule of events, detailed info & tickets, see lajollaplayhouse.org/wowfestival Note: ‘The Car Plays’ and ‘Platonov’ have extended performances, Oct. 10-13

“Hamlet” from the POV of a young woman torn between her father’s ambitions, her boyfriend’s revenge fantasies and her own private dreams. The setting: the labyrinthine basement corridors of Galbraith Hall. • The Art of Storytelling, Real & Virtual (presented by MCASD) ‘Futuristic Retro Ritual’ — Performance artist James Luna, a Luiseño Indian living on the La Jolla Reservation in northeast San Diego, puts his own spin on the tradition of the American Indian storyteller. ‘Orifice II’ — Video/ performance artist Jacolby Satterwhite gives a live, projection-enhanced dance performance as one of the avatars in his 3-D animations. • Close Encounters in

Small Spaces ‘Counterweight: An Elevator Love Play’ — A coproduction of LJP and Moxie Theatre, directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, this 20-minute play takes each audience of five on an actual elevator ride, where they get to peek into the private lives of three different couples on three different floors. Moving Arts’ ‘The Car Plays: San Diego’ — They’re back! A hit at LJP in 2012, this clever series of 10-minute plays, conceived by L.A.-based artistic producer Paul Stein, all take place inside a car. Audiences of two move from vehicle to vehicle, experiencing a range of mini-dramas, each one unfolding a carseat away. Several old favorites return, along with new pieces by local playwrights. • DIY City, Renovated ‘Town’ ‘We Built This City’ — Australia’s Polyglot Theatre, whose motto is “Theater is child’s play,” brings thousands of cardboard boxes to Revelle Plaza, inviting children (and adults) of all ages to build a cardboard city in a day ... and then destroy it. ‘Our Town’ — LJP’s Princess Grace Award-winner Tom Dugdale gives a new look to the Thornton Wilder play, presenting it as a backyard barbecue under the stars, with audiences encouraged to share the soda pop. All the actors are UCSD Theatre alums, like Dugdale, who also teaches graduate directing and is Line Producer of the Festival. •Scheib’speare-in-thePark and a new Twist at the Shores Jay Scheib’s ‘Platonov’ — Writer/director/designer Jay Scheib, listed by Ameri-

“Hedda-ing,” a dance piece inspired by the classic play ‘Hedda Gabler,’ will be performed outside UCSD’s rooftop ‘Falling House’ as part of La Jolla Playhouse’s WoW Festival. Photo/Jim Carmody can Theater Magazine as one of 25 artists who will shape the next 25 years of theater, turns his own adaptation of Chekhov’s first full-length play into a live cinema performance about society on the brink of foreclosure. Part Shakespeare-in-the-Park, part drive-in movie, it will be performed in the grassy area around another Stuart Collection artwork, Richard Fleischner’s “Stonehenge.” ‘Seafoam Sleepwalk’ — When the Playhouse commissioned renowned puppeteer Basil Twist (whose work was last seen here in “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”) to create a piece for the Festival, he chose the mythic birth of Aphrodite, with the goddess of love emerging full-grown from the sea. Audiences will gather at La Jolla Shores for the event, performed by puppets, with a soundscape by Japanese master musician Yumiko Tanaka.

LOSS continued from page B3 writing the book 10 years ago, though was prompted to finish it after an account of his parents’ deaths was published by crime writer Ann Rule, which he felt was inaccurate. “She did not talk to me or other members of my family about the story while she was writing it,” Larry said. “All the news she had was almost 30 years old. The so-called facts in those articles really came from one source — and that was my brother.” Larry isn’t the only one in his family who doesn’t believe his brother’s account. He has two stepsisters, both of whom were adults at the time of the trip and had obligations that precluded them from going. Neither believe Gary Edwards’ story. Larry said he hasn’t seen nor heard from Gary or Kerry in more than six years. The last time he saw Gary was at a family funeral at which Larry said they exchanged “very few words.” Though he said he hoped Kerry would “eventually come forward and tell the truth about what happened on the boat,” Larry

said that when he approached her in 2004 about participating in the book, she declined. Dealing with the loss Larry said the broader theme of his book is violent loss. “My broad objective is to generate public awareness and discussion of violent loss and what happens to survivors of violent loss and to fulfill an unmet need for therapists to provide services for them,” he said. “My story is not entirely unique — just look at what happened in Washington, D.C. a few days ago,” Larry added, noting this month’s massacre at a Washington, D.C. Navy yard that left 13 dead. “There are people who die violent deaths every day and [the survivors] have to deal with the same issues I’ve had to deal with. “This causes what they call ‘traumatic grief’ and ‘complicated bereavement.’ … It can cause families to disintegrate, like mine did; it can cause relationships to deteriorate. It’s especially intense when there’s no perception of justice having been done. … It just compounds the anger and the depression and the depths of the emotions.”

CONTEST continued from page B1 in South Carolina and supports them all. Because of the expense and effort in taking care of so many people, Marianna hasn’t had a vacation in years, nor had she been able to see her mother or sisters. “I’m so thrilled, I couldn’t be any happier,” said daughter Marianna Burdette. “I’m so glad to have the opportunity to be here…[My mother] has always been so sweet and she has such an open heart.” When mother and daughter finally saw each other again, Burdette said they both just hugged and cried and cried some more. The family is just enjoying their time reminiscing and Burdette has been telling Sallie Ann all about her four greatgrandchildren that she has yet to meet. When speaking of their mother, Marianna’s sister Elizabeth Heyde also mentioned Sallie Ann’s huge heart. She spoke about how Sallie Ann did missionary work in Russia before the Cold War was over. “She has dedicated her life to helping people in a spiritual, kind and loving

HOME OF THE WEEK

way. That is her gift,” Heyde said. For the community-wide party at Emeritus, Sallie Ann had her hair specially done, and she and Marianna wore corsages. As she sat at the head of the party, the guest singers couldn’t resist breaking into a festive rendition of “Mustang Sally” as residents enjoyed cake. “My heart is just full,” Sallie Ann said, giving her daughters’ hands a squeeze.

STROLL continued from page B1 place, so I think this is an interesting little twist we added to let people know we love them and we love their dogs.” The Taste & Art Stroll will also feature live musical entertainment throughout the day, including San Diego-based jazz guitarist Peter Sprague, who will perform with his band at the L’Auberge Amphitheater from 1 to 3:30 p.m. “We’re a wonderful community,” Powell said.

“We’re a small village, but we have a big heart. We love to have our visitors come and enjoy shopping, eating, drinking and the view. We just hope that people will come and enjoy, see what we have to offer and return again.” The free Art Stroll will take place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets to the Taste of Del Mar, which will take place 1 to 4 p.m., cost $25 in advance and $30 at the event. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit w w w. t a s t e . d e l m a r m a i n street.com.

FEST continued from page B4 Strack’s partner). “To hear theater-goers and filmmakers share their passion for film is really amazing.” Festing isn’t just watching movies, it is about networking, education and new information. Parties and special events like the Opening Night film (TBA) and party (at the new club Bang Bang — one hour of open bar and food) are a big part of every festival.

“Celebrities are the glitz and glamour of Hollywood right here in San Diego,” Strack said. “From red carpet events with press interviews to running shoulders with celebs at posh parties or Q& A’s at premiere screenings.” 1. Choosing your passholder experience: A pass is the best way to experience the festival, which guarantees premium entrée into screening venues, panels, lounges and special events. SDFF offers three levels of access, indulgence and fun: Festival pass, VIP pass and Patron pass. Also offered are Day passes for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, last minute rush tickets and individual special event tickets. 2. How it works: Patrons enter all events first. VIPs and Festival Pass holders enter second. Day passes and individual Rush tickets enter third (on space availability). In order to view the films, panels and special events, early arrival at the venue is highly recommended. Visit SDFilmFest.com for tickets.
