RSF Lakes Homeowners Association voices opposition to stockpiled dirt BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Lakes Homeowners Association is opposing a “mountain of dirt” adjacent to its homes caused by a developer’s temporary stockpiling that the Homeowners Association fears will be more permanent. The HOA is located near a 32-acre vacant Rancho Del Sol parcel with frontage on Carmel Valley Road and Rancho Santa Fe Lakes Road. Rancho Del Sol’s 62,500-cubic-yard stockpile is the result of a habitat restoration it is completing to comply with stipulations from an illegal grading violation. Through its regional issues subcommittee, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board is trying to find a reasonable solution between the developers and surrounding property owners. As the stockpile is very close to its homes, the HOA

•J ohn Rowe and Lale Labuko also receive Lowell Thomas Award in Washington, D.C. BY KRISTINA HOUCK She gave birth to 16 children, but only two are alive today. The Ethiopian mother lost two of her children from natural causes. The other 12 were killed. After elders of the Kara tribe declared the 12 children “mingi,” or cursed, they were sacrificed in ritual killings. The woman’s story is among those in a documentary film by Rancho Santa Fe resident John Rowe. Under the working title “Omo Child” or “Children of the Omo,” the film details the secretive, taboo practice that extends back generations among tribes of Ethiopia’s Omo River valley. It also follows Rowe and Lale Labuko’s work to rescue mingi children and end the practice. For their advocacy work, the pair received the Lowell Thomas Award from the Explorers Club at a dinner on Oct. 26 in Washington, D.C. “I think that true stories can be so much more compelling,” Rowe said. “When you have real people telling their stories, it’s very powerful.” Although he is produc-
er and director of the film, Rowe is primarily a photographer. Originally, he set out to document tribal life in remote regions of Africa. It was during a trip to Africa in 2004 that he met Labuko, who served as his guide and translator. Born and raised in southwest Ethiopia, Labuko has devoted his life to rescuing mingi children. At 15 years old, Labuko became aware of the practice when he witnessed village elders taking a small child from its mother. His parents later told him about mingi, and he learned that two of his sisters had been declared mingi and killed. Children born out of wedlock, children whose parents have not been blessed by the elders, and children whose top teeth grow in before their lower teeth are believed to be cursed. Tribal elders fear mingi children can bring famine, drought and disease, so they are drowned in the river or left to die in the bush. Labuko, who is study-

Local author/expert to talk about college applications at Rancho Santa Fe Library event BY KRISTINA HOUCK It’s the middle of college application season. High school students are busy taking standardized tests, writing essays and applying for financial aid. But former college application guru Lacy Crawford isn’t working with students this year. After 15 years, the Rancho Santa Fe resident retired from helping students perfect their essays, an experience she chronicled in her newly released book, “Early Decision.” Crawford will talk about her debut novel at the Nov. 4 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild. “Early Decision” follows 27-year-old Anne, a character modeled on Crawford, who coaches five high school seniors through the college application process. Although the book is “based on a true frenzy,” Crawford said it’s not a memoir. “I wrote the book, in part, to try to understand and write my way out of what I think is a trap for a lot of parents who are in the privileged position to worry about college,” she said. “You want to make sure you can give your child every opportunity, but at the same time, you also want to give them a childhood. “Growing up is more important than getting in.” Crawford started this work in 1997 when she took a job as an English teacher at a private school in the San Francisco Bay Area. When her students requested no homework so they could work on their college essays, Crawford assigned the essays for homework. “Because it was a writing class, I suggested that they bring their college essays in. They weren’t particularly good essays even though the students were very strong,” said Crawford, who graduated from Princeton in 1996 with an English degree. “I realized that it was a form of writing the high school students were not taught. They’re taught to write book reports, lab reports and history papers, but not a 500- or 600-word personal essay that is going to make or break the rest of their lives.” Parents started requesting her assistance. She continued working with students when she pursued her master’s degree at the University of Chicago. But it was having children of her own that inspired her to write a book about her experiences.

In 2010, Crawford and her husband had their first son and moved to San Francisco. She said her perspective changed when she began panicking about applications after her friends said she missed some of the deadlines for the city’s best preschools. “For the families who are involved in this, I hope [the book] makes them laugh,” said Crawford, now a mother of 1- and 3-yearold boys. “I hope it makes them feel they can ease up a tiny bit.” “Early Decision” will help readers learn how to get into school, Crawford said, but she hopes it also helps parents and their children discover how to avoid

RSF resident wins three titles at 2013 Grand National & World Championship Morgan Horse Show Victoria Walz, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, recently competed in the Grand National & World Championship Morgan Horse Show held Oct. 11-18 in Oklahoma City. She had practiced hard and had a successful show season this year pre-Grand Nationals. For the World Championship she had set a high goal for herself — to qualify as a finalist in the Morgan Medal Finals. She did that and was the only Junior rider out of 30 national champion competitors that accomplish such a feat. By the final rounds, as the ninth day event unfolded, Victoria won a World Championship title. But she wasn’t finished! The last day this talented young lady was focused and at the top of her game. Victoria won two more World Champion titles. She not only won in the saddle seat style but also a title in the Western seat discipline. Victoria is proud to have represented her home town of Rancho Santa Fe and her state of California against riders from all over the United States. Victoria is a high school student at the Grauer School and trains in Bonsall, Calif., with Lawson Creek Farm (trainers are Anne D. Judd and Adam Sherman). Her two winning Morgans are MCH Remington and Sarde’s Sinful. For more information, visit www.morgangrandnational.com

Education Matters/Opinion How to repair broken trust over tax bill debacle BY MARSHA SUTTON By now everyone has probably heard that all Marsha Sutton property owners in the San Dieguito Union High School District received a tax bill for the 2013-2014 year with an error on it. The amount charged for the high school district’s bond was about 50 percent higher than allowed. For the blow-by-blow account of this unfortunate incident, please see the report on the Del Mar Times website, first posted last week, on Oct. 24: http:// w w w. d e l m a r t i m e s . net/2013/10/24/taxpayersovercharged-due-to-error-inhigh-school-district-property-tax-bill-calculations/. Since my initial post, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association distributed a Taxpayer Alert bulletin, and the school district followed up with its own press release to property owners and the media last Thursday. To sum up, SDUHSD promised it would cost
property owners no more than $25 per $100,000 in assessed property value if voters approved the district’s $449 million General Obligation facilities bond. The measure passed last November with 55.1 percent voter approval (55 percent was needed). But when I received my property tax bill for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, the charge was well above that $25 limit, amounting to about $37.50 per $100,000. Several thoughts came to mind. Perhaps I was reading it incorrectly. Or the period in question was retroactive back to January. Or my assessed value was way more than it showed on the bill. Or was it some other misunderstanding on my part? I even joked with others that perhaps the error was only on my bill, as punishment for covering the bond issue in my column so intensely the past few years. I called SDUHSD for an explanation on Oct. 12. After several more requests, 10 days passed with still no response. Impatient, I then called the county, and coun-
ty Auditor-Controller Tracy Sandoval informed me the overcharge was an error – the first time anything like this has happened, she said. It’s a mistake on every property owner’s tax bill that adds up to about $7 million in total excess charges. To be clear, if you own property in the San Dieguito district, you were overcharged. Everyone was. Figuring out how it happened and how to fix the mess are now the top priorities of the county and school district. Sandoval blames the district and the district blames the county, but both agencies are now trying to focus on a resolution. Reissuing tax bills, when many bills have already been paid, was initially rejected. The leading solution as of this writing is to ask for full payment and then the county will issue refund checks. [This column is being written on Monday, Oct. 28, for publication Thursday, Oct. 31 – a truly scary Halloween story if ever there was one. In the interim, a final decision on how to fix this will hopefully be
announced.] No one noticed? Besides understanding how this could have happened, how it will be resolved, and how much more it will cost taxpayers to execute the fix, there are other questions. What comes to mind first is, why did no one else catch this? One can see why most property owners in the district wouldn’t notice that the bond tax was too high, because few people are close enough to the issue to realize what the amount should have been. I covered the bond issue long enough to know the maximum charge allowed, but other people were more heavily involved in this issue than I was. Every one of the five school board members lives in the district (obviously). They all knew exactly how much the charge was permitted to be. And not one of them noticed that their bills far exceeded that amount? How about the misnamed bond “oversight” committee? This independent committee is composed of members who live in the district whose job is to provide taxpayers with oversight of the bond money.
No one who works for the district, where many people were intimately familiar with the numbers, noticed this? All those paid financial advisors the school district has hired failed to catch the error? A more fundamental question is why there are not mechanisms in place to audit these numbers before tax bills are printed and mailed. If, as the district says, all the correct information was sent to the county, how can it be that there is no system in place for the county to transmit its calculations back to the school district to verify accuracy before releasing bills to the public? “I did not see any information on the tax rate that was calculated for the 201314 tax statements,” said Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services. “We certainly would have noticed the higher rate since we were keenly aware of our promise to the community on the highest estimated tax rate.” This leads to another troubling concern: Without a reliable auditing mechanism, how do we know this has never happened before? It makes one wonder if other school districts that recently passed bonds (the big
ones are Poway Unified and San Diego Unified) might not also have errors. If I were living in any of those school districts, I’d go back and check my tax bill very carefully. “Once we move past the current discussions, which are entirely focused on implementing the solution to refund taxpayers, I am going to suggest that all public agencies with assessments receive advance notice of the tax rates affecting their constituents,” Dill said. A moving target After learning of the mistake, Del Mar Union School District board member Doug Perkins, who until recently served on the executive committee of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, called for a moratorium on all bond activity – and for all school districts in the county, not just San Dieguito. “I’d like to see the San Dieguito district push the pause button until we figure out what the problem was,” Perkins said. “And I would encourage other districts to put their bonds on hold until this gets sorted out.” Chris Cate of the county Taxpayers Association called this the worst kind of

Bike or spin at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Nov. 3 to fight ALS BY KRISTINA HOUCK In honor of his father who is battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), local resident and Core40 owner Dean Grafos will spin for a cure on a stationary bike during the second annual “Bike 4 Mike” fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 3, at the Paddock Arena in the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Launched last year, the event continues the mission of Team Godfather and honors the organization’s founder, Mike Ramirez, who died from the disease at age 56 in April 2012. Team Godfather is devoted to finding treatment and a cure for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). In addition to spin classes on stationary bikes, the event will feature 10-, 25- and 50-mile distance rides that begin and end at the fairgrounds. “How many times are you going to get a chance to ride a spin bike at the Paddock Arena in the Del Mar Fairgrounds?” said Grafos, who owns Core40 fitness studios in Solana Beach, Carmel Valley and Little Italy, as well as two locations in San Francisco. “It’s a fun, unique event with great people. You’ll have a great time!” Having held several fundraisers at his studios, Grafos has been active in the fight against ALS since his father, Steven Grafos, was diagnosed with the disease more than two years ago. He donated 42 stationery bikes and led spinning classes in the inaugural Bike 4 Mike, and will be doing the same this year. “We decided last year it would be good to team up with a larger group to help raise even more money and do all we could do,” Grafos said. “We’re going to try and make this event more and more successful every year.” ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. As
Dean Grafos and his parents, Thean and Steven. Courtesy photo many as 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States have ALS, and approximately 5,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with the disease each year, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. There is currently no treatment or cure. At 78 years old, Grafos’ father began to have difficulty swallowing and experienced muscle weakness. Now 81, he has a feeding tube and 24-hour live-in care. “He’s at the point where he can’t get up by himself anymore. He can’t walk,” Grafos said. “If my mom didn’t have 24-hour care, my father would not be in his home. He would be in a hospital. I don’t even know if he would still be with us.” An Army veteran, Grafos’ father is fortunate to have health benefits to help cover the cost of at-home care. His benefits also covered the cost of a high-tech wheelchair, Grafos said. “Fundraising, for me, is so important because others don’t have that,” said Grafos, who noted his father and mother, Thean, have been married for 60 years. “[Other people are] struggling and struggling to maintain a life together. [Other people] just don’t have what my mom has. My mom is able to keep him home. “People want to just maintain their lives together and keep going for as long as they have left. Most people can’t. It’s really sad.” Bike 4 Mike will feature vendor booths, music and a post-ride Mexican fiesta and beer garden at the finish line in the Paddock Arena. All proceeds will go directly to raise awareness, pioneer research and develop innovative treatments for ALS. The 50-mile ride begins at 7:30 a.m., the 25-mile ride begins at 8 a.m. and the 10 –mile ride begins at 8:30 a.m. Spin classes take place at 8:45, 9:45 and 10:45 a.m. Registration fees vary. “The atmosphere is not a downer at all. It’s actually uplifting,” Grafos said. “There will be people there who have ALS, and we can uplift their spirits. It’s a way to come out to support one another.” For more information, and to donate or register, visit www.teamgodfather.org/bike4mike.

BY GINGER BORD, RSF GARDEN CLUB Have we forgotten those men and women who serve this country 24/7, in a strange and dangerous environment, the brave troops who are away from their homes and families? The phrase “war-weary Americans” has become ubiquitous with politicians, the media and vociferous pundits. What about those who are fighting for our country, they must be very “war weary.” The administration declared that troops would be brought home in 2014 but not all the troops are coming home and there are troops being deployed every day to the Middle East and Africa. We hear about Egypt, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, and Somalia, Kenya and Iraq and other points of conflict on a daily basis. American troops are there! Veteran’s Day is Nov. 11 and once again the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club is organizing a community effort to send care packages overseas. The packages will be filled with those items that are requested by the military personnel to help them overcome the conditions of daily life while letting them know that they are not forgotten. We need the people of Rancho Santa Fe to donate the items and/or money to make this year’s project a huge success. Baskets will be placed around the village, the library, the school, the Community Center, the market and the Garden Club to make the donating of items for the boxes easy and checks should be made out to the RSF Garden Club. Articles include non scented toiletries (shampoo, soap, disposable razors, deodorant, lotion, lip balm, foot powder, wipes and more wipes), snack items (beef jerky, cookies, nuts, hard candies, crackers), bug repellent, game books, note pads, U.S. postage-stamped envelopes and dried drink mixes and many more things. There will be a printed list at each basket sight. This is the third year the Garden Club has sponsored the sending of Military Care Packages and we invite the whole community to get involved. On Monday, Nov. 11, there will be a “packing party” at the Garden Club and many hands are needed to pack each box with a variety of the items collected, then to seal the
Nuptial News
boxes and complete the necessary address/custom forms. It is especially meaningful when the packer includes a personal, handwritten note of appreciation and support. This year our boxes will be going to three ships with Marines and Naval troops aboard waiting to be deployed to “hot spots.” The Amphibious Ready Group is in the area of the Middle East and the troops are on call, and ready to be flown into dangerous areas at any given moment. Please join this worthy and patriotic cause, remember those who are fighting, who have made the sacrifice for America. Without you the boxes won’t be filled or mailed. Questions?

Local author shares ‘tough love’ advice in book ‘Life is a Blender: Radical Parenting Tips That Will Save Your Sanity’ BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Yana Berlin is a strict parent and she’s not ashamed to admit it. With her new book, “Life is a Blender: Radical Parenting Tips That Will Save Your Sanity,” she is candid and honest about the struggles of parenthood and offers up some of her very best tough love and advice. The e-book, Berlin’s first, is now available on Amazon. com. “I’m fed up with the ‘I want to be your friend’ parenting. My husband and I are very close with our kids but we’re parents first,” Berlin said. “I don’t believe I love my kids any more than any other mother — we all love our kids — but at the same time you have to give them the tools for life to be able to out there and survive. If I dropped my kids off in the middle of Manhattan with no money, they would find the means.” Her biggest stressors in the book are that it’s OK to parent, to discipline and to say “no.” “They will hate you and that’s OK...They need guidance, they need parameters, they need to know some of the things they do are not OK,” Berlin said. She would like to bring back that strong sense of family that she feels has been diminished in today’s society. Early Amazon reviews are that her effort is appreciated. “Yana shows you how to be a consistent, disciplined, firm, loving and caring mother and how to raise responsible, honest insightful kids,” wrote reviewer Samira Saadat. The idea for the book came three years ago after Berlin was diagnosed with breast cancer. With Berlin going through treatment and her oldest daughter about to get married, Berlin’s family was in a state of reflection and they spoke about how she should put pen to paper on her parenting tradition. “You never know what’s going to happen so I promised as soon as I finished treatment and felt well enough I would start writing,” Berlin said.
“Life is a Blender” author Yana Berlin. Photo/Karen Billing She started writing in April 2011 and it took her three years to write the book, in bits and pieces when the inspiration would strike her. Her book details her humble roots in the Soviet Union. Her parents did not want to live in a Communist country and when Leonid Brezhnev opened the doors for Jews to leave, they
decided to emigrate. The family arrived in Los Angeles in 1977 and she experienced the “life of an immigrant.” Her parents worked two jobs and she herself worked to help support the family and buy their first home. “I don’t know if any house that we saw in the years to come impressed us as much as that little shack we could call our own. Life was tough but life was beautiful; we were living the American dream,” Berlin wrote. Her parents were strict but the lessons were invaluable when she became a mom at 22 years old. Berlin has been married to her husband for 20 years and they are a blended family, both bringing children to the family from previous relationships. “We never had the word ‘step’ in our vocabulary,” Berlin said, noting that for several years many people didn’t even realize their family was blended. “We always thought of ourselves as a unit, a whole family.” Berlin raised her three daughters and a son and, throughout the years, three other children also came to live with her and came to know her as their mother. They all had to follow the same strict rules whether they were biological children or not. No tattoos unless the first one is “I’m An Idiot” across their forehead. When one daughter said she was going to sleep over at a friend’s house and went to a party instead, that was the end of sleepovers for all of her children. When one daughter acted rude, she was not allowed to get her driver’s license. When her daughter slammed her bedroom door at age 9, she didn’t get that door back until she was 12. To this day, no door is ever slammed in the Berlin house. Stephanie and Sasha, Berlin’s oldest and youngest children, reflected on some of her parent rules in the book. “No boys in your room. No freak dancing. You want to drink, you drink with us. Drop the attitude. Be polite. Smile. You have a beautiful life with limitless opportunities but if
you break the rules, any rule, you pay the consequences,” Stephanie wrote. “We may not have enjoyed every step of the way but, looking back, we are lucky [our parents] were not lazy.” “With my elder siblings ahead of me, life was defined by rules, rules I absolutely loved breaking,” wrote Berlin’s youngest child, Sasha, in the book. “Consequently, I was grounded practically every weekend and while I hated my parents for it at the time, I can now say it was worth it. “ In the book, Berlin writes about some of the tactics she used that she found effective for a wide variety of issues. Some ideas she knows may be considered controversial. She tells the story of a time when her 2 and a half year old had a major tantrum in the grocery store and her four year old followed suit, both of them lying on the floor of the store screaming. Berlin left her full grocery cart in the store, took her children home and See PARENTING, page 22

Patriot Profiles: ‘You never know what to expect’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Navy corpsmen form a brotherhood and sisterhood of medical providers revered by members of the Navy and Marine Corps. The infamous call, “Corpsmen up,” means a professional — in every sense — is coming to help. HMC Tarren C. Windham has earned her place in the Navy corpsman legacy, one rich with stories of valor. Whether she’s nursing someone’s cold or scrambling to save those with terrible wounds, Windham says, “There’s an adventure in every single day. You never know what to expect.“ In a Navy news release, Marine SSgt. Matthew Morse calls corpsmen “security blankets.” Morse says Marines fight harder when they know they have a good corpsman with them. ”The corpsman, when he’s good, can help Marines with more than just medicine. He can be a point of inspiration.” “He” translates to “she” for HMC Windham. This native daughter of New Castle, N.H., inspires daily on board the USS Carl Vinson, which ports at Naval Base North Island. As Chief of Hospital Corpsmen, Windham helps supervise and manage a group of 32 medical professionals — all trained in a variety of specialties. They are responsible for the health and well-being of 3,000 sailors (5,000 when they are under way). She‘s upbeat and vivacious, “We cover everything from emergency to routine sick call care — anything people come down with,” she says. She’s expected to examine, get vital signs, run labs, read x-rays and triage patients to where they need to go. A year of training started her on the path of working under and with Navy physicians in various capacities. “When I went through Corpsman ‘A’ school, you get the basic level of knowledge… terminology, anatomy, medical assistant training — stuff you need to succeed. From there, I went to Field Medical Service School where I learned to plug that into a field setting with the Marines.” Her shipboard duties include motivating and leading fitness. “I love to work out,” says this bright caregiver. She helps make sure every sailor in her department passes a biannual
Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). The test is based on body fat ratios for height and weight, running a mile and a half, and maximum sit ups and pushups in two minutes. Windham educates on good nutrition and exercise. “Funny thing is, we always do better on our PFAs when we’re on deployment than when we’re back in port. The outside food and alcohol makes a big impact on weight and physical fitness.” Windham qualifies as Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist and Enlisted Surface and Airfare Warfare Specialist, as well as other notable achievements. She was happily surprised when she won 2012 “Sailor of the Year,” being selected out of all other sailors in her pay grade from across the ship. “It was definitely surprising because there were a lot of people I was going up against that are really great, so I did not expect it to happen. It was a happy moment when I found out,” shares Windham.” A corpsman’s service demands gut instincts and quick thinking in diverse medical settings. Windham smiles while saying what’s great about her job, “You can do all these different spectrums and decide what you like.” Her greatest strength lies in patient care, “identifying problems and being able to triage them to a level of emergency, nonemergency care and treat them from that level. Anyone we can treat, handle and rehabilitate back to health — we’re going to keep our hands on all the way through.” Medical assistance can be minor or major when stress is high, “When we’re out to sea and they call a medical emergency, we run up (to the flight deck). We don’t know if this person is going to have their arm lying on the ground, if they’re just passed out, or if there’s blood everywhere.” She says you don’t always know how you’ll need to react. The world opened up for Windham in 2004 when she was sent to Iraq with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. “I remember the terri-

It hand sanitation and told was Operation Enduring people, “OK, you’re going to Freedom II. Everything was go rest. Don’t give it to anychaotic and you didn’t body else,” relayed Windknow what was going to ham. “It takes out a huge happen. The biggest scare portion of the work force for any corpsman is getting when it’s in its full-fledged someplace and not being fury. We have to be very able to perform your job, cautious of infectious diswhether you freeze or you ease because everyone is in aren’t familiar with somesuch close quarters. thing. “I was at Camp Duke in Al Diwania and we convoyed throughout the whole of Iraq.” On an armored Humvee convoy she recalls, “We were going through the city transporting different people to places and got stopped by crowds in the street. It was the middle of Ramadan. One of the Marines in the turret saw somebody pull out an AK and start shooting —so we had a little bit of a shootout.” Windham says, “It’s nerve-wracking, but also liberating to know you are whom those Marines trust. You are the one who has to make the decision. You can’t rely on somebody else at that point.” She’s thankful none of her guys were injured and the shooting cleared the streets so they could move through. In Battle Aid Stations on forward operating bases in Afghanistan or Iraq, clinical protocol is similar to that on a ship. People still get sick and it’s the same standard of care. On the ground, first aid is a corpsman’s main job for things like amputations, bleeding and blast injuries. “It’s a level of care depending on where you’re at that you have to keep refreshed on Windham said. Completing three deployments, she remembers
“Medical is a great field to be in, because there is always something new to learn. It’s fun for me to see people that have something unusual.” In a force of thousands from different countries and cultures – unusual is a given. Windham strives to teach and employ what she learns to “help the Force stay well.” Windham would love to combine her medical skills with Special Forces. To date, women corpsmen are not allowed in Special Forces, although Public Affairs Officer Kyle Raines says, “All naval specialties are undergoing a review for the integration of women in previously closed areas.” When the troops have a good corpsman, says SSgt. Morse, “they don’t worry about dying, they worry about the mission and that’s one of the best ways to make sure everyone comes home alive.” Corpsmen put spring in the boot step. It’s people, like HMC Tarren C. Windham, that mothers and fathers cherish and military history adores.

Event held to celebrate Fellowship Center renovation at Village Community Presbyterian Church of RSF BY DIANE Y. WELCH The campus of The Village Community Presbyterian Church of Rancho Santa Fe recently received an additional make-over with the completion of the renovation to the Fellowship Center. The achievement was feted by all those involved at a “Celebration Dinner� held in the center on Sunday, October 27. Chairman of what was named the “Re-do Committee� was church member Jan Clark. More than a hall on the church campus, the space is a gathering place and a valuable resource for the community, Clark said. The transformed center can seat up to 500 people, has a stage, and has a full-service kitchen, perfect for functions like wedding receptions and large social events, according to Clark. Before the renovation the wear on the center had been noticed for years by church members. After 19 years of use the insulation foam was peeping out through the wall coverings, the floors were well-worn, and the chairs were getting threadbare. “We were embarrassed,� said Clark. “It was in horrible shape and we needed to do something about it.� Clark cheered on an enthusiastic team who volunteered their time and talents to make the project move forward: Anne Wholford, ASID; Martha Eggemeyer, ASID; Holly Wilson; Martha Dominguez, who had been a member of the committee for the sanctuary; and Wendy Grumet, ASID, who took on the role of lead designer. “Wendy especially worked so hard,� said Clark, “bringing in carpet and paint samples for our approval.� But funding was still needed to begin the process, said Clark. A letter was sent to church members and to those who had also used the center in the past. “We had so many people come forward to donate and then one fellow threw down the gauntlet and said, ‘If you can raise $25,000, I’ll match it!’� Then others came forward with varying sizes of donations and the goal was met. These funds were allocated to painting the walls, new carpet and lighting installation, the purchase of new chairs and the removal of the basketball court, and more. “It was a complete transformation,� said Clark. “It now resembles a beautiful hotel lobby.� Stylistically the church sanctuary echoes the mission type of architecture. The ambiance that this style evokes – a timeless simple elegance – was reproduced in the Fellowship Center through the use of warm, natural tones, like dark browns, soft browns and beige, a look that harmonizes perfectly with the sanctuary, said Clark. The hue is neutral and lends itself well for seasonal decorations or for special events like weddings or concerts. The “thank you� dinner was held in the Fellowship Center for all those connected with the renovation: the donors, the design team and the volunteers who made it all come together. Holly Wilson and Sandy Rhatigan volunteered as chefs, preparing fine cuisine for 68 people, which included eight servers – youth volunteers – from the church. There was a program of entertainment with Susan Fielder sharing her poem of how the project started and progressed, an entertaining visual review of groups who had formerly used the hall, plus a musical tribute by Jeff Brown.

There was a lot of very enthusiastic people and a lot of hard work that went into this project, said Clark. “We are so happy with the results. It’s simple but elegant.

RSF Historical Society to present cultural event Nov. 2 The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society (RSFHS) is holding a cultural event on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the RSF Historical Society’s La Flecha House, 6036 La Flecha, Rancho Santa Fe. Native American expert Dr. James Kemp will give a talk on the Hopi and Navajo cultures and will highlight the rugs and tapestries of the Navajo in Northern Arizona and New Mexico. Dr. Kemp of Julian became fascinated with the Native American culture after moving to the southwest from the east coast. “I found a wealth of cultures only a day or two drive from San Diego,” he noted. Kemp has served on the board of the Mingei Museum for six years and is a retired clinical professor at the University of California, San Diego, Department of Pediatrics. Kemp will comment on some of the RSF Historical Society’s collection as well as bring a few of his own pieces to the lecture. Although Kemp does not consider himself to be an expert on the value of older weavings, attendees are welcome to bring any Hopi or Navajo weavings for Kemp to review. Advanced registration is required and seating is limited. Tickets are $15 for RSFHS members and $20 for guests. To register or if you have further questions, please call Dana Evanson at the RSFHS at (858) 756-9291.

Canyon Crest Academy’s Humanities Conservatory and Quest announce Nov. 5 visit by Jay Harman Naturalist, inventor, and entrepreneur, Jay Harman will be at Canyon Crest Academy to talk about biomimicry on Nov. 5 at 1:35 p.m. in the Proscenium Theater and at 6:30 p.m. in the Media Center. Harman has taken a handson approach to his lifelong fascination with natural fluid systems. In the process, he has grown successful biomimicry companies that design innovative products, ranging from prize-winning watercraft, to a non-invasive technology for measuring blood glucose, to his most recent companies, PAX Scientific and its subsidiaries. With a goal to show manufacturing industries that more efficient equipment is profitable for both shareholders and the environment, PAX designs equipment including fans, mixers, pumps, refrigeration systems, and distillation systems, all based on Harman’s revolutionary understanding of nature’s methods for streamlining fluid flow. QUEST is a program designed to provide students who are motivated by curiosity and are capable of independent learning with an authentic science experience. The Humanities Conservatory is the newest discipline in the Envision program at Canyon Crest Academy and aims to develop foundational skills for advanced scholarship in the humanities. The focus is on mastery of research methodology and introductory consideration of the four core humanities disciplines: philosophy; theology; civics and ethics. Students preparing for careers in research, writing, the arts, education, business, law and government will be best prepared through participation in this Conservatory, which is made possible through parent donations to the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation (www.canyoncrestfoundation. org). The 1:30 p.m. lecture is free for students and staff. For the 6:30 p.m. lecture tickets will be sold at the door.

OMO continued from page 1 ing economics on a scholarship at Hampshire College in Massachusetts, had already rescued 24 children when he informed Rowe about the practice and asked for assistance. “At that time, he didn’t have enough money to feed the kids. He didn’t know where to turn. He asked me for help,” Rowe said. “It was a request I couldn’t refuse.” Rowe and Labuko cofounded Omo Child, a nonprofit organization that provides a safe home and quality education for rescued mingi children. Omo Child has since rescued 13 more children, who live in two rental homes in a village called Jinka, in the region where Labuko’s home village, Dus, is located. All of the children are under 10, with many still in diapers. They are cared for by nannies hired by Omo Child. “I never expected to do anything like this,” said Rowe, a Los Angeles native who developed and marketed video games for 25 years before becoming a photographer. “I had no intention of getting involved beyond simply getting to know the people and photographing them like I have done all over the world.

Rancho Santa Fe Review “But when Lale came to me for help, it was one of those situations where you find yourself having to respond. The only way I could respond was with all of my energy and all of my heart to try and help these kids survive.” Omo Child has not only helped 37 children survive, but countless others who could have been killed. Until recently, three Omo Valley tribes practiced mingi: the Kara, the Banna and the Hamer tribes. The Kara and Banna tribes have since ended the practice. “Omo Child is really responsible for the awareness of this whole issue,” Rowe said. “It brought it to the attention of the government of Ethiopia. It brought it to the attention of the world. People have been working to try to change that now.” Rowe and Labuko traveled to Dus village to attend the official Kara tribal ceremony that marked the end of the practice on July 14, 2012. Since then, they have met several infants who would have been considered mingi and killed in the past. Today, they are living in the village as accepted tribal members. “It’s remarkable,” Rowe said. “That’s really the proof that the culture has changed. It’s one thing to say they’re ending it, it’s another thing

“the trap.” “It is true that pretty much everything I’ve learned about the way admission offices work and who gets in, is in the book. So it’s useful, but it’s not a cheat sheet,” Crawford said. “It’s meant to be a good story and a good ride — and possibly give some perspective and a sense of humor to a very challenging time.” The “Fall Author Talk” event will include a light lunch, the author presentation, a question and answer session, and a signed copy of the book. Tickets cost $40. “I think it will be a great conversation, not limited to people who are going through this,” Crawford said. “You don’t have to be the mother of a high school senior. Everyone has a college experience and everyone has experience with college graduates in this generation. I think it’s a topic that’s wider than 17 year olds and their parents.” The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Library, 17040 Avenida de Acacias in Rancho Santa Fe.

mistake and said it was a “disservice to taxpayers.” Given that the correct amount per $100,000 in assessed value seems to be a moving target (first $25, then $37.50, then corrected to $21.50, and now settling in at $23.11), this uncertainty and fluctuation do not inspire confidence that the involved government agencies can calculate accurately. I’m envisioning a dartboard as the system used for arriving at the right number. To rebuild trust, the school district should feel an ethical obligation to release all the data, charts, graphs, documents and other relevant bond information it supplied to the county. Then let independent bond and financial experts (certainly not the paid financial advisors the district or the county uses) decipher the language, evaluate the numbers for accuracy, and verify that the public is being taxed the appropriate amount. And because of my rather suspicious nature when it comes to public agencies, I’d like to be assured that property owners in the San Dieguito district are not being handed an additional charge to pay for the fix. The cost to rectify the error will need to be paid, of course, by taxpayers – but by taxpayers county-wide, not
to see children who otherwise would have been killed. It’s a wonderful thing.” Their work is not over, however, The Hamer tribe, with an estimated population of 50,000 and a more decentralized tribal governance, continues to practice mingi. Rowe hopes his documentary will further expose the mingi practice and help end the practice completely. He has interviewed dozens of people in Ethiopia, including the parents of mingi children, tribal elders and government officials. “It brings attention to Omo Child and the needs of 37 children who are lucky to be alive,” Rowe said. “For me, it’s all about those 37 kids.” Committed to helping Labuko provide for the children, Rowe hopes other will hear about their story and eventually watch the documentary — which is now in post-production — and join their cause. “We need help for these kids. That’s why we’re making the movie. That’s why I’ve continued to tell the story and all my efforts are going into this,” Rowe said. “I’m really focused on making sure that these kids are given an opportunity to have a good life. “We want to make sure just district-wide, since the work will need to be done by the county’s financial services department and the treasurertax collector’s office. Determining the amount to be refunded to 70,000 property owners, and issuing and mailing checks to each of them, will cost the county a pretty penny. The expense to fix this increases sizably when one factors in the time spent last week and this week for public employees to huddle together, with costly outside legal counsel involved, pondering how to resolve the problem. And what work is not getting done while county officials are consumed with this crisis? Any undue delays in issuing refund checks after people pay their tax bills in full will be unacceptable, so will extra staff need to be hired temporarily to implement the fix? Whoever is responsible for the debacle is certainly not going to pay personally – although someone needs to have their hands slapped for this. Understanding what this will cost, and who will pay, is another piece of information that needs to be released. As we move past this disturbing opening chapter on San Dieguito’s bond measure, property owners need to remain vigilant – for the next 30 to 40 years. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.
they’re loved, well cared for, have the medicine and medical care they need, have the food they need, and get the best education possible so in the future, in this part of Ethiopia, they will be contributors to their society, and potentially be the teachers and leaders of tomorrow. That really is our goal and our dream.” For more information about Omo Child, visit omochild.org.

continued from page 1 is looking for assurances that Rancho Del Sol will remove the soil and comply with city mandates. They are concerned that the remaining soil will be used to continue to increase the elevation of the parcel — creating an “ugly obstruction” of the view for RSF Lakes homeowners and homeowners across Carmel Valley Road. “We are very concerned this stockpiling will become a long-term problem,” wrote Deborah DeBow, RSF Lakes HOA president, in a letter to the city. “Because of the city’s lack of resources, it may not be able to adequately deal with or may ignore problems. We fear enforcement may not occur, even with mandated safeguards that are automatically triggered and enforceable.” At a Oct. 22 regional issues subcommittee meeting, the developer’s representative Paul Metcalf said they would work on a deed restriction that the stockpile
PARENTING continued from page 7 put the children straight to bed. They hadn’t allowed her to buy food so they would not eat, she told them. “They learned. This is how you teach kids right from wrong,” Berlin said. Berlin admits that it wasn’t always easy. She recalls the worst thing she felt she did as a parent, when her oldest child got in trouble and was told she would not be going to Disneyland with the family the next day. Her husband couldn’t believe she said it and neither could she but because she had and consistency was important, they left her behind the next day. “We all had a horrible time at Disneyland,” Berlin said. “But it taught them that there’s consequences in everything you do. Everything you do in life has consequences, there’s consequences when you’re 5, there’s consequences when you’re 40.” Berlin believes in building confidence and self es-
cannot stay and that any potential buyer will be put on notice it has to be removed. Metcalf said they hope to come back before the regional issues subcommittee in December or January to see if what they come up with will appease the neighbors. “We’re not trying to create a bad situation for you, we’re trying to make the best lemonade we can out of the lemons we’ve been given,” Metcalf said. DeBow said she didn’t exactly feel bad for their situation, as they essentially made their own lemons. The developers don’t deny the fact that the whole situation was caused by an error some years ago when landowner Bob Barczewski accidentally created his own wetlands. Chris Barczewski, Bob’s son, explained how his dad acquired extra fill leftover from the construction of SR-56. Bob installed berming to shore the roadway on his property, which created a dam-like effect and over time resulted in the creation of the pond and wetland habitat. In June 2001, the city issued a violation for illegal grading on the site. Stipulation in settlement for the final judgment was issued in October 2003, which ordered the developer to fix the violation by draining the pond and restoring the area to its pre-existing condition. However, as the pond was classified as a wetland, compliance would result in impacts to sensitive biological resources upstream and off-site. To mitigate the impacts on its man-made wetlands, the developer agreed to enhance the area and the area adjacent to McGonigle Creek, increasing the value of the area to wildlife and net gain of an extra 10 acres of high value biological resources. “We’re creating extra for many reasons. The integrity of any wildlife restoration is enhanced by its size, more magnitude is more sustainable,” Metcalf said. “I don’t think the homeowners object to what we’re doing, they just object to the fill coming out of there and being stored next to their houses.” The area in question, lot five, is a 14.3-acre area of the 32-acre property. Metcalf said 4 acres of the 14 is the stream and involves no grading. The stockpile represents the amount of soil created through the dredging necessary to prepare the proposed wetland creation area. He said the fill is a variable slope and they have pulled in the highest part away from Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road. The highest part adjacent to the road is 13 feet. While they are meeting the terms of the city’s stipulated judgment for the violation, Metcalf said they are just not meeting the compatibility with surrounding neighbors. Already Metcalf said the developer has agreed to stockpile 62,500 cubic feet rather than the initially proposed 80,000. White is hoping that some kind of compromise can be met before it is heard at the planning board level. teem in children not through constant compliments but preparing them for the realities of a difficult world. She said she built confidence in her children by pushing them to accomplish things that were difficult, by having a plan and working hard to accomplish that plan. As Sasha wrote, her parents created positive energy, pushed them to have drive, do better and be better because “they knew we were capable of it.” As a result, Berlin said her children are her best accomplishment. “They’re grounded, kind, caring, they have high integrity and they help people,” Berlin said. “It was all done by teaching them what’s right and what’s wrong and setting good examples.” Since releasing the ebook on Amazon about a month ago, it has been doing well. She is working on getting the book published in print. Berlin said she feels like she may have another book
in her, this one on relationships. “I think nobody courts anymore,” Berlin said. “It’s so sad.” Yana’s rules on dating are just as strict — as her son knows well, it’s never OK for a woman to pay. As Stephanie is about to have her first child, Berlin is looking forward to being a grandmother. And Stephanie is looking forward to passing along what her mother taught her. “My mom is an incredible woman,” wrote Stephanie. “If you proactively apply just some of these tenets to your children and family, it will change your life. It won’t be easy but it will positively evolve your relationships and bring a new level of respect and friendship between you and your spouse, your children and even your own parents.” Berlin’s book, “Life is a Blender,” is available at amazon.com.

Adopt A Family boutique to support young terror victims in Israel The Adopt A Family Foundation will hold its fourth annual Boutique Event on Thursday, Nov. 14, in Carmel Valley. Adopt a Family is a local non-profit that provides financial and emotional support for Israeli citizens and their families who have been victims of terrorism. The boutique will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the West Highlands Pacific Clubhouse in Pacific Highlands Ranch, featuring vendors such as Peace & Love, Terroir by the Sea, Bella Sereena, Raiscase, Kelly Haas, Sasha and Me, Vivienne K Jewelry, The Miscelleny Shop and many more. The annual boutique supports a new project every year, according to co-founder Carine Chitayat, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. This year, the boutique’s proceeds will sponsor the efforts of author Liora Eilon, who wrote the book “Ha’mitpachad shel Yarden” (Yarden’s fearkercheif”). The book’s goal is to help children deal with their fear and trauma due to the constant bombing in their region. “Ha’mitpachad is not a real word but a combination of two words: it is giving the idea to children to be able to place their fear in a handkerchief, far from their heart and soul. The book will be used as a tool for teachers to be able to work with their young students in the classroom,” said Chitayat. “As a next step, Liora Eilon is hoping to have the book translated to Arabic. The Adopt a Family Foundation is happy to have the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile project.” The West Highlands Pacific Clubhouse is located at 5850 Blazing Star Lane, San Diego (Carmel Valley) 92130. For more information, visit adoptafamilyFoundation.org or call (619) 548-5844.
The Del Mar Foundation presents The John Jorgenson Quartet at the Del Mar Powerhouse On Friday, Nov. 8, the Del Mar Foundation’s Cultural Arts Committee presents The John Jorgenson Quartet, featuring Grammy-winning guitarist John Jorgenson at the Del Mar Powerhouse. The evening showcases Gypsy jazz: the dynamic blend of swing, French café music, and Gypsy melody created by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris. The John Jorgenson Quartet is the only American act to ever headline the prestigious Django Reinhardt Memorial Festival in France. For the films “Gattica” and “Head in the Clouds” Jorgenson was tapped to recreate Django’s music, and in the latter he appeared onscreen as Django with Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz. General admission seating ($20) may be purchased at www.delmarfoundation.org/jjq. html. A limited number of tickets are still available. For more information, visit www.delmarfoundation.org.
‘Side Show’ ready to step into the Playhouse spotlight BY DIANA SAENGER The La Jolla Playhouse production of “Side Show,” currently in rehearsal, is among the many highly anticipated shows to play at the theater. In association with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, “Side Show” is directed by Hollywood legend, Academy Award-winning director Bill Condon. The musical (book and lyrics by Condon) is a reimagining of Henry Krieger (music) and Bill Russell’s (book and lyrics) original production of “Side Show,” and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The arresting plot is based on the true story of conjoined twin sisters Violet and Daisy Hilton, who had a circus act in the 1930s. Russell said the idea for the show came from Robert Longbottom, who directed and choreographed the original “Side Show” on Broadway in the mid 1990s. “He pitched me one sentence about it, and then a friend saw a piece on them on TV and said let’s write a musical about them,” Russell said. “I didn’t know anything about them, but the idea of two performers singing, dancing and acting together I thought was inherently theatrical.” In rehearsal, the cast was very animated. As other side-show entertainers rally around the twins for their birthday, talent scout Terry Connor (Manoel Felciano) and song-and-dance man Buddy Foster (Matthew Hydzik) burst in on the party. Terry asks about their dreams and tells them they could make it big in vaudeville. “But we’re sideshow exhibits; we can’t perform in shows like that,” one of the twins responds. But Terry insists, “Every vaudeville show is unusual in some ways.” He tells them they are freaks, but unique, and then belts out a tune about how connected he is and how signing up with him can change their lives. That’s about the time Jake (David St. Louis) steps in to warn them by belting out the tune, “The Devil You Know.” “We worked on the show for about a year, and then I had to do two films (“The Twilight Saga”),” Condon said. “We have almost everyone here from the initial “Side Show,” and we worked closely with The
‘Side Show,’ about conjoined twins, runs at the La Jolla Playhouse through Dec. 15. Melissa Hughes. Kennedy Center to get it on its feet.” Condon won an Academy-Award for his adaptation of “Gods and Monsters,” was nominated for an Oscar for his adapted screenplay “Chicago,” wrote the screenplays and directed “Dream Girls” and “Kinsey,” and directed the recently released “Fifth Estate.” “Side Show” is Condon’s first play, and he’s singing a happy tune. “Working on movies is so intense, you’re left in a vacuum,” Condon said. “Your days are so filled you can’t keep up with phone calls. This experience has been fantastic; I’ve gotten refueled rather than depleted. Bill, Henry and choreographer Anthony Van Laast (“Mama Mia,” “Sister Act”) make a wonderful team. Anthony is going to England to choreograph the Royal Gala performance for the Queen.” Van Laast recalled when he first got the request to choreograph “Side Show.” “I knew these girls had been the highest paid performers in vaudeville, about $4,000 a week,” he said. “I thought if they could do it, we could do it. So my assistant Janet and I, stepped in front of a mirror, strapped ourselves together and started figuring out moves. It was a great time of exploration of movement.” Condon is especially excited about his stars, Erin Davie (“Grey Gardens”) and Emily Padgett (“Rock of Ages”), who play Violet and Daisy Hilton. “This was a challenge and a huge, vocal-chord-busting role as big as ‘Evita,’ and then they have to dance,” Condon said. “These actresses are amazing, and they match each other’s profiles and sound good together. If one of them should get a cold or something it would be a needle in a hay stack to replace them.” Condon said he was bracing himself for tech rehearsal. “It’s a major set with a lot of moving parts, and it will require changes, but I keep asking, ‘when does this stop being fun?’ “There’s a lot of waiting around in movies, but here’s it’s incredibly stimulating all the time. It’s been fun to be scared, and to not know the next step is a little nerve wracking, but I definitely have an appetite for it.”

Art San Diego brings ‘Creative Collisions’ RSF Women’s Fund welcomes special guest BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Now in its fifth year, San Diego’s contemporary art fair, Art San Diego, is gearing up for its best showing yet. The theme this time is “Creative Collisions,” setting the scene for a mix of disciplines, nationalities, street-artists and art institutions coming together at the Activity Center in Balboa Park Nov. 7-10. Founder/director Ann Berchtold said the four-day event expects to attract more than 13,000 visitors from San Diego and beyond, and will include 60 local, national and international exhibitors. Berchtold, who grew up in a family of artists, spends much of her time scouting art fairs in other cities for new talents to bring to Art San Diego. Among this year’s finds are Drew Tal, an Israeli-born, New York City-based photographer, whose most recent body of work, “Worlds Apart,” celebrates the beauty in a diverse range of societies, cultures and religions. His background in fashion and travel photography, combined with a love of digital experimentation and enriched by a hope for mutual

From Mexico City comes CORE (COnditions REcycled), an in situ project specially commissioned for the fair. A joint venture by a trio of Mexican architects and designers — Hector Esrawe, Alejandro Tapia and Sebastian Beltran — who are dedicated to extending the borders of architecture, interior and product design, CORE explores new ways of transforming the spaces in which we live.

The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund will welcome world-renowned fashion icon Zandra Rhodes as guest speaker at its Annual Membership Meeting on Thursday, Nov. 7, from 6-8 p.m. at the RSF Golf Club. Rhodes’ fashion style is unlike any other. From her hot pink bob to her theatrical make-up and artsy jewelry, she is as glamorous and dramatic as her designs. Since the 1970s, she has designed for a diverse clientele, from Jackie Onassis and Princess Diana to Freddie Mercury of the rock group, Queen. Today, Rhodes continues to clothe royalty, rock stars and jetsetters around the world. Using theatrical colors and bold prints for her feminine patterns, Rhodes’ designs have a timeless quality that makes them easily identifiable. Her vintage pieces continue to be collected and are still worn today. Her collection has expanded beyond clothing designs to include licenses for jewelry, wrapping paper, Royal Doulton China, furs and a limited edition make-up line for MAC cosmetics. In recent years, Rhodes has diversified into designing sets and costumes for the opera. She has created for a number of San Diego Opera productions and she has also designed for the Houston Opera’s production of Aida. The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund Annual Membership Meeting on Nov. 7 is open to women living in Rancho Santa Fe who share an interest in becoming more involved in philanthropy to support those in need throughout San Diego County. Cost is $40. The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund is made up of a diversified group of 130 women and will celebrate their 10th year anniversary in the fall of 2014. Since 2004, over $2.1 million in funds have been granted to organizations serving the local San Diego County community. A few of these grant recipients are ACE Scholars of Cal State San Marcos, Cancer Angels of San Diego, and Voices for Children, Urban
Zandra Rhodes Corps, and Camp Pendleton Armed Services “Moms in Transition Program.” To RSVP, please contact Nancy Hashim at 858-7560249 or register online at www.rsfwomensfund.org.

Local women launch all-natural, flavorful products BY KRISTINA HOUCK Colette Bolitho and Jennifer Woodmansee both have three children, a background in health, and a passion for cooking and entertaining. So when the two local residents teamed up to create quality-preserved products a year ago, it seemed like a natural fit. What started as a side project for family and friends has turned into The Gingered Pear, a growing business that offers shrubs, chutneys, flavored syrups and savory jams. “We have similar lives,” said Woodmansee, a non-practicing physical therapist. “We both have three kids, we’re both multitasking quite a bit and we both have this incredible drive to make this product really great for people.” Hillcrest Whole Foods customers selected products from The Gingered Pear as “Best New Product” during a Sept. 25 showcase featuring a dozen new local vendors. The Del Mar Wine Company has offered the company’s shrubs since July. The Gingered Pear was also recently approved as a Whole Foods Market local vendor. “It seems a little surreal now,” said Woodmansee, a nurse at Rady Children’s Hospital. “We started with shrubs because there really aren’t any shrubs out there. It was fun for our friends and family to taste it, too. It kind of evolved from there.” The pair prepares their products in a Mira Mesa-based commercial kitchen. The seasonally based shrub syrups are made from fruit, herbs, spices and specialty vinegars. All shrubs are processed using a cold pressing technique, which allows the fruits to maintain their flavor, color and nutrients. “There are a lot of fruits in each bottle and it’s a complex flavor,” said Bolitho, who noted the product could be used in cocktails, but also as a salad dressing or a yogurt topping. “It enables someone at home to very easily make a cocktail that’s really sophisticated and complex in taste that normally you’d have to go to a bar or restaurant and have someone make for you. We feel like there’s opportunity for this sort of product since it’s not really available.”
Colette Bolitho and Jennifer Woodmansee. Photo/Kristina Houck Bolitho and Woodmansee are also proud that their products are natural and contain no artificial coloring or artificial flavor. “It’s a quality product,” Woodmansee said. We take pride in feeding our families and ourselves good, wholesome foods.”
ALL Treat, No Trick!
“Most of the mixes that are out there on the market have sugar as the first ingredient, and some have artificial flavoring and color and corn syrup,” Bolitho said. “I think this is just a beautiful, natural product.” The Gingered Pear has already debuted its line of shrubs, and will soon release a collection of chutneys, flavored syrups and savory jams. Bolitho and Woodmansee will hold demonstrations and feature sample cocktails and mocktails from 4-6 p.m. on Oct. 25 and 3-5 p.m. on Oct. 26 at Seaside Market, 2087 San Elijo Ave., Cardiff-by-theSea. “Everyone is so busy that if you can have something that’s beautiful and high-quality every day, it elevates your experience and the moment,” Woodmansee said. “That’s what we’re hoping this brings. We’re offering high-quality products to bring pleasure to everyday life.” For more information about The Gingered Pear, visit thegingeredpear.com.

Annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair set for Nov. 2-10
BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Emily Bazelon was in eighth grade, her friends â&#x20AC;&#x153;firedâ&#x20AC;? her. Now a mother, senior editor for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slate Magazine,â&#x20AC;? and a featured speaker at the 19th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair, Bazelon explored bullying in her new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few years ago, I noticed in the news there was a lot of attention on bullying and cyber bullying,â&#x20AC;? said Bazelon, who lives in Connecticut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a journalist and a parent, I was curious about what was going on. I looked into how the Internet was changing and what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to grow up.â&#x20AC;? In her book, Bazelon explained bullying isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new, but our attempts to respond to it are. And while the Internet has made bullying more pervasive, Bazelon said, bullying isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an epidemic. In fact, bullying statistics havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really changed since the 1970s. To effectively deal with bullying, she said, we need to respond to the facts, not our less rational fears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we need to have a cultural shift where bullying and the behavior is socially unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? Bazelon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one encouraging thing in the research is that most kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bully and most kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like bullying. â&#x20AC;Ś If kids understand this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something everybody does, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for them to stand up to this behavior and not to do it.â&#x20AC;? Bazelon is one of dozens of featured speakers at the San Diego Jewish Book Fair Nov. 2-10. From world events to family relations, more than 30 best-selling writers, journalists and commentators will speak about a variety of topics during the nine-day series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always eager to talk to people about this issue,â&#x20AC;? Bazelon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people take a sense of hope that kids are often resilient. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to help them fill that capacity. Kids are also capable of empathy, and the trick is to help them develop that as well.â&#x20AC;? Starting at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10, Bazelon will give a presentation and answer questions at Temple Solel in Cardiff. Tickets cost $14 for JCC members and $17 for non-members. Lawyer and political commentator Alan Dershowitz will kick off the book fair with a presentation about his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law,â&#x20AC;? at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Book Fair events will run through Nov. 10 with North County events Nov. 7-10 at Temple Solel and other locations. All other events, including the free Family Day Booka-Palooza from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 3, will be held at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center.

Emily Bazelon Courtesy photo Author Daniel Jonah Goldhagen will also speak at Temple Solel, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7. In his new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Devil That Never Dies: The Rise and Threat of Global Antisemitism,â&#x20AC;? Goldhagen explored the current state of global anti-Semitism. Through the Internet and the political sphere, Goldhagen said, anti-Semitism has transformed and spread in the last two de-
cades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very much aware of this because the U.S. is the great exception to this, where anti-Semitism has not been rising and transforming into this global form, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been declining,â&#x20AC;? said Goldhagen, who lives in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the United States, essentially, has an allergy toward public prejudice. Americans see Jews as Jewish-Americans, as opposed to German Jews, French Jews or British Jews.â&#x20AC;? While anti-Semitism is declining in the U.S., Goldhagen said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for Americans to be aware of this problem, and he is looking forward to sharing more at the book fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that they come to understand that there is a new global anti-Semitism, different from the past,â&#x20AC;? Goldhagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very dangerous; we should not be complacent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be so because the United States remains the exception to the rest of the world, where anti-Semitism is on the rise. But anti-Semitism has historically produced enormous violence and mass murder, the Holocaust being the most horrific example.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for Goldhagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk cost $16 for JCC members and $19 for non-members. For more information about the San Diego Jewish Book Fair, visit www.sdcjc. org/sdjbf.

of the bows. Their system works: they currently sell their bows in thirteen retail stores across nine different states as well as online and via their four local sales representatives and one in New Jersey. “Riders across country have begun recognizing our products at the different horse shows. We have about 3,600 followers on Instagram. It has been challenging to keep up with the demand,” Savanah says. “We want to maintain the craftsmanship of our bows. Each bow is handmade and personalized.” The girls aren’t taking their success for granted, either. They regularly donate their products to charity auctions, have created special breast cancer awareness bows with 25 percent of profits being donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and are planning on participating in an upcoming fundraiser at The Grauer School on Nov. 8 for global girls’ education charities through the Girl Rising Fund. The sisters credit The Grauer School’s values for enabling them to succeed in so many ways: “The Grauer School has taught us to give back to the community. We each have to be accountable and self-advocate so that we can each keep up with our workload and specific jobs. Intellectual curiosity has led us to explore the business world and find new ways to expand. We have persevered as we learned to deal with rejection from retailers who chose not to carry our bows.” “At The Grauer School, we strive to foster resourcefulness, leadership, and an entrepreneurial spirit in each of our students,” said Principal Dana Abplanalp-Diggs. “Savanah, Mikayla, and Jillian and their Ballerina Bows certainly embody these core values.” Visit Ballerina Bows online at www.ballerina-bows. myshopify.com.

Savanah, Mikayla, and Jillian Stuart of Rancho Santa Fe are talented equestrians, successfully competing across the country on average of two weekends a month. They’re also dedicated students, excelling academically in the college preparatory environment at The Grauer School in Encinitas. They’re not alone in these pursuits, but what makes them shine is that they’re not only star student-athletes but budding entrepreneurs. The three sisters make up Ballerina Bows, a company which creates beautiful, handcrafted hair bows for sports such as cheer, soccer, and equestrian sports; the company is named after their beloved pony, Prima Ballerina. “We were at a horse show searching for bows as a gift for someone and found that there was not a big selection,” says Savanah. “We had wanted to start a business of our own, so we all decided to try making a pair. We made enough to sell and began marketing our products on Instagram.” This handcrafted attention to detail sets Ballerina Bows’ products apart: as competitors on the show circuit where they sell their bows, the Stuarts are aware of what types of bows equestrians want to wear, and they will also make custom bows on request. The sisters split up the day-to-day activities of running their business evenly. Jillian, the youngest, has connections with many of the young riders who wear the bows when competing, and she handles marketing their products. Mikayla creates the girls’ business cards and packaging for the bows and runs the website. Savanah has tackled the finances, inventory and packaging

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Perfecto! by fabbri consulting offers customized condo and home management services
BY KRISTINA HOUCK When they needed someone to welcome a repairman or oversee a contractor, neighbors looked to Donna Fabbri. As requests increased, Fabbri launched Perfecto! by fabbri consulting in 1994. The company specializes in condo and home management services. “They entrust their place with me completely, 100 percent,” Fabbri said. “They don’t have to worry about anything. I give them peace of mind. And whatever they want, I get it done — whatever it takes.” From delivery and maintenance supervision and coordination, to remodels and specialized personal services, Perfecto! offers a wide range of services for clients throughout San Diego County. Born and raised in San Francisco, Fabbri launched her career roughly 40 years ago as an executive assistant to the president and CEO of Monster Cable, a consumer electronics company. Because of her extensive experience in the industry, Fabbri also supervises communication services, including the facilitation of electronic media design, upgrades and servicing. “I make sure things are done in the proper order,” Fabbri said. “I connect different people with different vendors, contractors and designers, depending on their budget, their needs, their wants, their style and even down to their personality.” Fabbri coordinated the four-month renovation of Phil and Jane Larsen’s downtown San Diego condo in 2008. The couple lived in Illinois at the time, and asked Fabbri to prepare their 1,600-square-foot unit for their arrival. “We weren’t able to take care of those things, so she took care of all the arrangements, scheduled the work, supervised it, and did an excellent job,” Phil Larsen said. Now living in Rancho Santa Fe, the couple plans to work with Fabbri again in November, when their current tenant moves out of their condo. Larsen said Fabbri is going to over-

I would highly recommend her.” Fabbri said her business has primarily grown from referrals. She is now considering expanding her business because she often works with out-of-town clients in San Francisco and Las Vegas. “I offer customized services that fit your need, so the company grew because

The panel discussion will take place before an audience of girls ages 11-18 and their parents.

Seaside Home to hold store conversion sale
Seaside Home, San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning, nationally-recognized interior design atelier, has begun a re-branding process at its headquarters in La Jolla. The process will include selling all of its $4 million inventory in order to re-set the floor with merchandise more conducive to a high-end, serviceoriented Studio of Interior Design. The store was closed for one week to allow for staging and assertive pricing of its complete stock, and will officially reopen as Seaside Home, Studio of Interior Design in the beginning of the new year 2014. Meanwhile, Seaside Home will continue to service its clients with the same excellence in interior design and the highest quality furnishings that have established it as the finest home enhancement studio in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The re-imagining of Seaside Home,â&#x20AC;? said Sheryll Jackman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;began with a merger of renowned La Jolla designer, Kathleen Buoymasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio, into Seaside Home, and the creation of a state-of-the-art interior design library in June 2013. This was followed by affiliating with legendary interior designer Joanne Hutchinson, ASID in August 2013. Together, we are embarking on an entirely new concept for the San Diego region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the creation of an all-encompassing service-centered, concierge-level interior design destination in the heart of La Jolla.
The temporary store closure will subsequently lead to a reopening that will better position Seaside Home as a high-level design studio with a showroom featuring an exclusive level of designer home furnishings, accessories, flooring and window treatment department, art gallery, and showcase of custom fabrication capabilities. The store closing-conversion sale will begin Friday, Nov. 1, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Items for purchase include our entire stock of fine quality furniture, accessories, and hand-knotted Oriental rugs from designers such as Baker, Century, Alphonse Marino, E.J.

Alice Hoffman to share â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Survival Lessonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Words Alive luncheon Nov. 12
On Nov. 16, at 7 p.m., students from Torrey Pines High School and La Costa Canyon High School will hope to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be the Changeâ&#x20AC;? that this world needs by hosting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lip-Sync Contest for the Maya Relief Foundation.â&#x20AC;? The teens hope to raise enough money for 300 water filters to be placed in homes of the poorest families living in the Guatemala area. The Maya Relief Foundation places a revolutionary, new high-tech water filter in the homes of people who are suffering from impure and contaminated water. Many children miss school for months out of the year due to parasites and infection caused by the impurities in their water. This new special water filter is changing the world one family at a time. When Randie Reinhart of the Maya Relief Foundation was asked about these new water filters she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks similar to a clay pot!â&#x20AC;? It only costs $50 for a family to have one of these revolutionary water filters. The problem with most water filters is that they often crack or grow mold. These water filters are the most critical item a family needs to survive and be healthy. The Reinhart family has one in their very home in Rancho Santa Fe. To learn
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Alice Hoffman, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survival Lessonsâ&#x20AC;? (among many other novels, short fiction pieces and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books) will be the main speaker at the Words Alive Luncheon, noon, Nov. 12 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, 10950 North Torrey Pines Road. Though less than 100 pages, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survival Lessonsâ&#x20AC;? is filled with lessons learned from Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s battle with breast cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it a breast cancer book. Dealing with so much more than breast cancer alone, the author said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survival Lessons deals with trauma in general and examines way to find beauty in the world even in the darkest times.â&#x20AC;? Each chapter starts with a suggested choice, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choose your heroes,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choose to enjoy yourselfâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choose to share.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When terrible things happen most of us feel like victims,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but even if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the circumstances â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an illness or a loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can choose to change the way we react and respond.â&#x20AC;? Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works regularly earn acclaim, including her book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here On Earth,â&#x20AC;? which was included in Oprahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Club and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practical Magic,â&#x20AC;? which was later adapted into a film of the same name starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Having always written fiction, Hoffman said she never felt the need to write nonfiction. However, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a book that spoke to her, so she wrote one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Books were my life raft,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A big part of survivorship for me is being a reader and a writer.â&#x20AC;? Hoffman knows a thing or two about survival, having beaten cancer and having a clean bill of health today. She will speak about survivorship at the Words Alive luncheon, which is the signature fundraiser for the organization. Patrick Stewart, Executive Director of Words Alive, said Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation is a good fit for a number of reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survival Lessons is a testament to how we move forward, and while her book is about moving through cancer, but it translates across the board,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific authors, and many of our audience members can resonate with the works sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created.â&#x20AC;? He added that her personality makes her relatable to a number of people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She represents longevity and talent, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re celebrating the 10th anniversary of the lunch and 15th year in existence, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a natural fit.â&#x20AC;?

These teens encourage everyone to get involved. Their motto is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be the Changeâ&#x20AC;? that this world needs.
Alice Hoffman Words Alive, through various programs through the county, focus on literacy in San Diego. Stewart added that Hoffman is a longtime supporter of those programs. For example, in the Early Literacy Intervention program, trained volunteers read to preschooler from low-income communities. They also have Family Literacy Workshops that teach parents the importance of early literacy and ways to make family reading time fun for everyone. Tickets for the event are $100 and come with a copy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survival Lessons.â&#x20AC;? Hoffman said her authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advance from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survival Lessonsâ&#x20AC;? would be donated to the Hoffman Breast Cancer Center at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Mass.

Forester fires up De Anza DAR Conor Lenehan, fire specialist with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, addressed members of the De Anza Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on the topic of the wildland urban interface of communities in this region at the monthly luncheon held Oct. 11 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. Lenehan, a native San Diegan, received a degree in forestry and natural resource management with a specialty in wildland fire fuels management from California Polytechnic State University. After an internship with the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD), he joined the department as a forester and fire prevention specialist in November 2012. “One third of homes in San Diego County are located in the wildland urban interface,” Lenehan said. “Give your home a fighting chance. A house can be made more fire resistant by creating a defensible space through landscaping.” Lenehan addressed specific ways the homeowner could increase the chance of a home’s survival by selection of fire resistant plants, removal of dead vegetation, pruning dead palm fronds, thinning out fuels, keeping mulch at least 12” away from the home, and creating a vertical separation between bushes and tree canopies. “Most wildfire deaths occur during evacuation,” Lenehan said. “Have an emergency evacuation plan and leave early.” A 13’ 6” vertical space is required in driveways for egress of fire vehicles. Lenehan was assisted by Nicole Berry, also a fire prevention specialist with the RSFFD. Discussing controlled burns after the presentation, both Lenehan and Berry agreed there was “a little bit of pyro” in every fire specialist. Literature on wildfire preparation, plant and landscaping guide and evacuation is available at a Rancho Santa Fe fire station or through www.rsf-fire.org. Jere Flores, a comedian and comedy writer, was inducted as a new member into the De Anza Chapter by Martha Gresham, De Anza Historian and Honorary Regent, and Marti Meiners, 1st Vice Regent and membership chairman. Jere’s ancestor was Isham Beasley, a private in the Revolutionary Army in North Carolina who enlisted in 1779 at the age of 19, fought at Lindley’s Mill and Raft Swamp, and survived to have 16 children. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890. Its members are descended from patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 165,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. Any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership. De Anza Chapter members live in the North County coastal communities from Carmel Valley to Carlsbad. For more information, call Laurel Lemarié, 858-756-2835, or visit www.deanzadar.org.

Ask the Plastic Surgeon BY REZA SADRIAN, MD Q. I take especially good care of my facial skin by regularly applying sunscreen and following a healthy diet, yet wrinkles seem to be appearing despite my preventative efforts and my young age. Is there a particular reason for this and can you suggest a remedy? A. Without the benefit of being able to diagnose your facial skin through a professional consultation, I can tell you that your condition may be attributed to your genes. A recent study published in the journal Nature reveals that the breakdown in cells known as “mitrochondria” that were inherited from your mother may be the culprit. We have learned through this study that these cells have a lot to do with the aging process and the DNA passed down from mothers can influence aging rates. Technically, mitochondria (often referred to as the powerhouses that human bodies are comprised of) play a significant role in the signs of aging. As mictochondria cells sustain damage, they often mutate and lose their ability to produce energy, resulting in the breakdown of cells frequently resulting in wrinkles. If your mother had wrinkles at a young age, you might also be susceptible to fine lines on your face at an early age; conversely, if your mother had smooth skin during her 40s and 50s, you might experience the same benefit. The study had an emphasis solely on cell aging and genetics, but researches anticipate that this report may facilitate future development of therapeutic interventions leading to additional revelations regarding mitochondrial function, thus potentially slowing the aging process as additional research is conducted. In our office we often combat early wrinkles with injectable products such as Botox™, Juvederm™, Re-

REZA SADRIAN, MD stylane™ and Sculptra™ or we may prescribe a variety of laser treatments to help smooth the skin of imperfections. Injections provide results that last for several months and require periodic re-injections. Laser treatments not only treat facial lines, but can also eradicate age spots on the face, neck and hands and help to tighten facial skin. We may prescribe a combination of these two treatments, or recommend a mini facelift if wrinkles and sagging skin are particularly pronounced. It’s always advisable to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon prior to scheduling a treatment. Reza Sadrian, MD is one of very few plastic surgeons on a nationally recognized level dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. He is a Diplomate, American Board Plastic Surgery and serves as Medical Director for the Plastic Surgery and Laser Institute of San Diego. In addition to performing cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in his state- of- the- art AAAASF certified surgical suites, he offers medical grade skin care products, non-surgical treatments (including injectable Botox and fillers) and laser treatments. Dr. Sadrian can be reached at his office on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 457-1111 or via the web at sadriancosmeticsurgery.com.
Farmer Chef to speak at the Solana Beach Garden Club
On Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m., Mil Krecu, also known as the Farmer Chef, will be presenting the program “From the Farm to the Table.” The topic will cover planting, preserving and cooking the vegetables you grow. Mil Krecu was born in a farming community in Yugoslavia. At an early age he immigrated with his family to New York City and later moved to Los Angeles. These cosmopolitan environments sparked an enthusiasm for foods around the world. This, combined with his rural roots and love of fresh seasonal produce, led to his growing, cooking and perfecting foods. Krecu also brings to the meeting his experience as an organizer, developer and manager of organic farms. Attend the event at the Center for Healthy Living, which is directly behind the Boys and Girls Club at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. For more information, visit solanabeachgardenclub.org.

Bella Castilla to host VIETRI founder Frances Gravely at Nov. 9 event Bella Castilla recently announced that Frances Gravely, a founder of VIETRI, Inc., will be present at a special VIETRI event on Nov. 9, from 4-7 p.m. (wine and appetizers will be served). For 30 years, VIETRI has provided high-quality, handcrafted products for homes and gardens that encourage the essence of the Italian lifestyle. The VIETRI brand includes collaborative designs from the best of Italian culture in ceramics, glassware, flatware, and table linens. A connoisseur of Italian culture and tabletop design, Frances, along with her sister, Susan, and mother, Lee, formed VIETRI in 1983 after a family trip to the Amalfi Coast where the threesome fell in love with colorful handpainted dinnerware at the famous San Pietro Hotel. VIETRI has grown from a small company representing one Italian factory to the largest Italian importing company in the American tabletop industry. VIETRI now serves a customer base of over 2,500 of the finest specialty stores and boutiques in all 50 states, plus Canada, England, Mexico, Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. Today, VIETRI works with close to 30 manufacturers throughout Italy. This visit is particularly special because it marks the first set of store appearances Frances has made in years. She will visit a limited amount of stores this year, and her storytelling draws large crowds wherever she travels. She will share tales of VIETRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginnings and artisan backgrounds, as well as sign Italian phrases on any purchases made that day. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on this opportunity to meet a true aficionado of Italian travel and style. Located at 2690 Via de la Valle, Suite# 260, Del Mar, CA 92014, Bella Castilla can be contacted by calling 858-794-9003 or by emailing bellacastilla@aol.com.

But many of the notables in ArtSD13 are San Diegans, like artist-provocateurs Debby and Larry Kline. Besides bringing a number of their creative works to the fair, they will offer interactive performances, including a tour of the exhibits and a demo of â&#x20AC;&#x153;3Doodler,â&#x20AC;? a 3-D pen that writes in hard plastic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have the Klines onboard,â&#x20AC;? said Berchtold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They combine an intellectual approach to art with such a sense of fun. The 3Doodler company donated a couple of pens for them to play with, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give fairgoers a chance to play, too.â&#x20AC;? The Klines are also onboard as winners of the 2013 San Diego Art Prize, along with James Enos, James Hubbell and Brennan Hubbell. Berchtold cofounded the Art Prize seven years ago with artist Patricia Frischer, and all this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prizewinners will have works on display at the fair. Another featured local is Becky Guttin, whose installation â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can work it out,â&#x20AC;? a colorful reimagining of symbols from her Mexican childhood that was originally shown at the Oceanside Museum of Art in 2011, will be the red-carpet entry piece to ArtSD13. There will also be installations from local museums and the NewSchool of Architecture, whose students helped design, in cooperation with Noble Environmental Technologies, the cafĂŠ and lounge in the heart of the art fair. Operated by chef/caterer Giuseppe Ciuffa, known to La Jollans as owner of the Museum CafĂŠ, the lounge will be a great place to meet, eat and relax from the hectic pace of art fair activity.
