complete a simple-site cleanup of the grading and gravel on the El Fuego parcel, known as the Dacus property. “My recommendation on this is, because of the cost of the parking lot, to hold off on the concrete of the parking lot and when we look at other major projects in this school in the

future, incorporate this into it,” Jaffe said. “That gives us the opportunity to go for some state money as well when we are looking to do major projects that can offset the cost.” The 51-space lot is currently unpaved and is used for staff and overflow parking. The lot fills at

pockets of time but there’s usually 10 to 15 spaces available, Jaffe said. According to Debra Vaughn-Cleff, of Webb Cleff Architecture and Engineering, a paved parking lot project would have kept to the footprint of the existing grading as SEE LOT, A22

Education board to make decision on SOUL charter school BY KAREN BILLING The founders of SOUL have brought their Encinitas charter school petition before the San Diego County Board of Education (SDCOE) after being denied by San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) last year. SOUL co-founders Marisa Bruyneel and Michael Grimes, as well as a number of SOUL supporters, advocated for the new school at a hearing on Jan. 11. SOUL, which stands for School of Universal Learning, aims to open the 7-12th grade school this fall, with a capacity that would reach 600 students. They have yet to pin down a location for the campus. Bruyneel told the board that she and Grimes set out to create a school that was “unlike any other,” one that emphasizes holistic education and connects students to their life’s passion and purpose. “SOUL was founded upon taking a hard look at the issues that pervade our schools and finding the solutions to create anew. We have examined every part of the school day and innovated it,” Bruyneel said. “SOUL students will become lifelong learners, global citizens, helpful adults, successful entrepreneurs and the CEO of their lives.” After last week’s hearing, the board will deliberate and take action on whether to approve or deny SOUL at a special meeting on Thursday, Jan. 19. According to Laura Duzyk, SDCOE assistant superintendent of business services, SOUL’s petition is being evaluated by the county board’s charter review committee on whether it meets education code requirements, whether the education program is sound, and whether the petitioner can demonstratively execute that program. If the appeal is granted, the county board assumes responsibility as the charter authority. If denied, SOUL can submit to the state board. According to Bruyneel and Grimes, SOUL’s mission is to “transform the public education system.” Academics are a combination of experience-based and project-based learning and required electives, including entrepreneurship and essential life skills. All of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and Smarter Balanced Assessment tests like all public schools.

County supervisors get salary boosts BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a 12.5 percent raise for themselves at the Jan. 10 meeting, a salary increase of more than $19,000 a year. Newly-appointed board vice chair Kristin Gaspar, who represents District 3, was the sole vote against the raises. The new formula is based on the salaries of San Diego County Superior Court judges — the supervisors’ salary had been set at 80 percent of judges’ salaries. Per the approval, it will now shift to 85 percent from March17-Dec. 7 and to 90 percent afterward. The regular supervisor salary will increase from $153,289 to $162,870 and then increase to $172,450.

MELLO ROOS

“The adjustment before us today is fair and it’s reasonable,” said Supervisor Ron Roberts. Roberts said San Diego is the second largest county in California but its supervisors aren’t compensated as such — seeing counties such as San Bernadino with higher compensation called into question the need for adjustment. He said the increases will put San Diego second in compensation but the county would still be “significantly” lower than Los Angeles and over 150 county employees would still earn higher salaries than the supervisors. The formula establishing the supervisors’ salaries has not been adjusted since 1998, SEE SUPES, A21

Rancho Santa Fe Foundation ends year with successful campaign: The 35 for 35 Challenge The results from the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation’s 35 for 35 Challenge, which ran from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, 2016, are in. This giving opportunity was created by local donors in honor of the organization’s 35th anniversary, matching funds dollar-for-dollar for up to $35,000. These donations ultimately went to the RSF Foundation Community Impact Fund. This fund, started in 2006, has turned local vision into action throughout San Diego County by granting more than $1.6 million to 67 nonprofits in San Diego to date. Rancho Santa Fe residents Molly and Mike Gregoire offered this short-term matching challenge to empower the Community Impact Fund to do even more moving forward.

In the two months that the 35 for 35 Challenge ran, 26 individual donors gave a total of $33,285. With the dollar-for-dollar matching, this number was doubled for a total donation amount of $66,570 to the Community Impact Fund. The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is very grateful to all the donors who contributed to make this a successful campaign and the amazing gift they have made possible - more community impact grants to the San Diego region. The Community Impact Fund is supported by donors who want to use their collective donations to address critical challenges throughout the community.

RSF Boy Scout Troop 766 meets with SFID Board President, learns about water conservation Members of Rancho Santa Fe Boy Scout Troop 766 recently met with Santa Fe Irrigation District Board President Michael Hogan. The boys asked questions and discussed the complexities of water conservation and the responsibilities and challenges of local elected officials. The boys learned that a portion of your water rate goes to the significant construction of infrastructure to provide local residents with usable emergency water in the event of drought, earthquake and/or emergencies. Weather can cause huge swings in water reservoirs, bigger swings than most people ever imagined.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

From left: Cheryl Olson, general surgeon; Mary K. Wilde, breast surgeon and director of the Scripps Polster Breast Care Center; Ken Shimizu, radiation oncologist; and Anuradha Koka, radiation oncologist pose with a $1.5 million Mobetron machine that can speed up radiation doses for breast cancer patients.

Scripps begins utilizing innovative breast cancer treatment BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY On the afternoon of Jan. 3, Christine Geckeler had early stage breast cancer. Hours later, she did not. Geckeler, 58, underwent a new breast cancer treatment at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla that allowed her to get all her radiation at once just moments after undergoing a lumpectomy operation. The innovative treatment, called electron intraoperative radiation therapy (EIORT), which uses a $1.5 million machine called the Mobetron, replaces weeks of radiation treatment with a single dose for select breast cancer patients, said Dr. Mary K. Wilde, breast surgeon and director of the Scripps Polster Breast Care Center. Wilde started the program two years ago with Ken Shimizu, radiation oncologist. Anuradha Koka, radiation oncologist, and Cheryl Olson, general surgeon, have joined the effort and are also using the new technique. While dozens of hospitals across the county have implemented the technology, Scripps is the only institute south of Orange County that does the procedure with the gold standard electron radiation, Wilde said. A copper disk is placed under the muscle to protect the tissues below the breast, lungs and heart from radiation, said Koka, who also practices at Scripps Clinic Radiation Therapy Center Encinitas. A cone that fits into the breast where the lumpectomy was done is then placed so the doctors can see exactly where they need to put the radiation. The machine will deliver the radiation right then and there to that spot before the incision is closed up, Koka said. The procedure, which has been used in Europe for more than 15 years, only takes about two minutes, Wilde added. In December 2015, Shimizu and Wilde started replacing one week of the former treatment with EIORT. About 60 people have been treated. Last December, the Scripps team started the single dosage program. “In the past, the patients have had a

lumpectomy in the operating room, and then they’ve healed up at home for three to four weeks, and then traditionally they would have between four and six weeks of radiation treatment to the breast,” said Wilde, who lives in Del Mar. “And we’d be treating the whole breast Monday through Friday for four to six weeks. That’s a big time commitment for these patients.” Geckeler, technology support manager for AT&T who was diagnosed in November, said she did not have that time and wanted treatment that would better fit her lifestyle. That’s where EIORT came in. “My job is always out and about,” said Geckeler, who lives in Escondido. “I do a lot of things that require strength, and one of the things about full-breast radiation is they said I would get tired and it would take six to eight weeks. That did not fit me at all.” The doctors said EIORT is only available for select patients. Women must be older than 50 years old, and the tumor must be in the early stage and relatively small. It must also not have spread to the lymph nodes. “Some patients have tumors that are a little bit more aggressive and have certain biology that we don’t consider safe, so in addition to early and small, they also have to have a favorable histology, meaning the cell type,” Olson said. The types of patients who qualify for EIORT are in the minority, Wilde said. About 10 percent of the patients the doctors see are eligible for the new single dose treatment, she said. Olson, who lives in Carmel Valley, said the side effects for patients treated with EIORT are minimal. The surgical procedure is different than traditional methods because of the copper plate being put into place to protect the heart and lungs, she said. “We dissect the tissue a little bit more to then prepare it for the radiation to be focused on the tissue,” Olson said. “Really, it’s very much the SEE CANCER, A22

Calling all golf enthusiasts for Tee Up Fore Rady Children’s Golf Tournament Jan. 30 at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club

‘Chopped at Church’ Feb. 4 fundraiser at Village Church in RSF showcases culinary talent to benefit food pantries Talented cooks from across San Diego are taking on a formidable challenge next month – creating mouth-watering meals from the simple ingredients offered at food pantries that serve low-income residents. Teams from six Presbyterian churches will be armed with just a two-burner hotplate and cooking utensils in an effort to transform basic food staples at the first-ever Chopped at Church competition on Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. The fundraising event aims to raise awareness for the work of Presbyterian Urban Ministries (PUM), an outreach mission of the Presbytery of San Diego. PUM assists the marginalized who live on few resources with little room for cooking meals. “We took a cue from the popular cooking series Chopped where the cooks don’t know what’s in their bag of food items until they open it, just like the poor who receive donated goods at food pantries,” explained the Rev. Dr. Jan Farley, associate pastor of the Village Church. “Free food is crucial for those without resources to eat daily and churches are vital to meeting that need.” Teams of four will have a limited

number of items to work with and prizes will be awarded for best main course, best dessert and best team spirit. Judges include the Rev. Michael Mudgett of the San Diego Presbytery and Pascale Vignau who served as executive chef for the Four Seasons Hotels, Hilton Cape Rey, Pacifica Del Mar and Savory Casual Fare. Participating churches include: Village Community Presbyterian Church, Rancho Santa Fe; First Presbyterian Church, Oceanside; Lakeside Community Presbyterian Church, Lakeside; Palisades Presbyterian Church, San Diego; Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church, Point Loma; and La Jolla Presbyterian Church, La Jolla. The event starts at 5 p.m. and features a buffet dinner, raffle prizes and entertainment for a cost of $45/person with children 12 and under free. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online: www.pumsd.org. For more information contact Jeanie Spies at 619-232-2753 or email scchair@pumsd.org.

Girlfriends Good to Know

Author chronicles ‘Remarkable Women of San Diego’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN ames like Ellen Browning Scripps and Kate Sessions might be known for their contributions to San Diego, but with the November 2016 publication of “Remarkable Women of San Diego: Pioneers, Visionaries and Innovators” by Gloria Harris and Hannah Cohen, other noteworthy women and their influence on San Diego’s history came to light. Some were considered exceptional for being the first woman in the San Diego in their trades, others for their resilience and determination to spur change. At the La Jolla Community Center Jan. 12, Harris, who is a resident of La Jolla, spoke to about 20 guests, sharing the highlights from her book and anecdotes about these women. She is also co-author of “Women Trailblazers of California: Pioneers to the Present,” and talked about her path to becoming a successful author and remarkable woman in her own right. “In 1974, I wrote a book on assertiveness training for women. As a result, I was featured in People Magazine, got inducted into the San Diego Women’s Hall of Fame, and was asked to be a board member for the Women’s Museum of California,” she said. “But I questioned what I really knew about the women of California. So I started doing research to learn something. I learned, unbelievably, that no one has ever written a book about the contributions of women to the state of California. I thought, ‘someone’s gotta do it,’ and I did. My co-author and I wrote ‘Women Trailblazers of California’

ASHLEY MACKIN

La Jollan Gloria Harris with a copy of ‘Remarkable Women of San Diego: Pioneers, Visionaries and Innovators,’ which she co-authored with Hannah Cohen. … which did very well.” Because it did well, the pair were invited to write a book about the women of San Diego. “It’s not easy to get published, everybody knows that, so when you get an invitation from a publisher, it’s pretty hard to turn it down. And that’s how this book came to be.” “Remarkable Women of San Diego” is divided into four eras: 1850-1900, 1900-1950, 1950-2000 and 2000-2015. Harris explained American

culture during each of these periods, to further illustrate the boldness of these women during those times.

Circa 1850-1900

“Some of you may know, California became a state in 1850 and San Diego was incorporated as a City in 1850. So that’s an appropriate time to start the history,” Harris opened. “The 19th century was known as the Victorian

Era, when there was a sharp distinction between men and women and their gender roles. Women were expected to stay at home and raise their families, and the men were the breadwinners,” she said. “In 1890, only 3 percent of white, married women worked. Also during this period, women had no political rights, they couldn’t vote, they couldn’t sit on juries, they couldn’t hold public office. So the women highlighted in this section are truly remarkable, not only for their achievements, but when you consider what it was like in that confining culture, you know what it took to be successful.” She discussed San Diego’s first female school teacher, nurse, physician, president of the San Diego Medical Society, the woman responsible for the first permanent library in San Diego, the founder of the San Diego YWCA and more. One of them, Helen Hunt Jackson, was an author and advocate for Native American rights. “Her first book was written in 1881 and documented the suffering of seven Native American tribes. She sent it to every member of Congress to change government policy. But it fell on deaf ears. When she saw the success of the novel ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ and the change it made to the status of slavery, she said, ‘What I need to do is write a novel!’ That novel was titled ‘Ramona.’ Our city of Ramona in San Diego County is named for that book.” Additionally, she mentioned Flora Kimball a “significant champion for women’s rights and SEE WOMEN, A18

Betty Ford San Diego aims to bring hope, healing BY KAREN BILLING The new Betty Ford Center San Diego in Carmel Valley held a ribbon cutting celebration on Jan. 11. The outpatient treatment clinic on El Camino Real in Carmel Valley hopes to help more people get the care they need, close to home with convenient daytime and evening programming and services that support recovery. The center will offer family education workshops, mental health services and programs that target teens and opioid use. For the last three weeks the center has already been “up and thriving”— a 12-step meeting had been held earlier that day. “We are opening up a beautiful new space of healing and hope here in the San Diego area as part of the mission of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation,” said Mark Mishek, president and CEO of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. “It’s here in Southern California that Betty Ford entered her life of recovery and we’re here to really celebrate and extend the legacy of Mrs. Ford and all of the tremendous and courageous things that she did. We’re here to honor that and to serve more people under her watchful eye.” The nation’s largest nonprofit treatment provider, the foundation has roots back to 1949 in Hazelden’s first rehab facility in a Minnesota farmhouse and the first Betty Ford Center was opened in 1982. There are currently 17 sites in nine states. The Betty Ford Center in Coachella Valley is world-renowned and Mishek

Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Director of Recovery Management and Betty Ford Center San Diego project lead Janelle Wesloh, Betty Ford Center San Diego Director of Outpatient Services Brian Couey, daughter-in-law of Former First Lady Betty Ford Juliann Ford, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Board Member Cini Robb, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation President and CEO Mark Mishek and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Southwest Region Vice President and Betty Ford Center Administrator Jim Steinhagen. said they hope the center in San Diego becomes the same kind of strong institution. The center, located on the second floor, includes a large conference room, as well as small meeting rooms and private counseling offices. Touches of San Diego are noted in the artwork and in a Torrey Pines glass mural that marks the conference room and hallway. A portrait of Betty Ford hangs in the spacious lobby. Brian Couey, director of outpatient

services, said the message at the core of the facility is one of hope and in their ability to help transform lives and communities. “We are all painfully aware of the opioid crisis and it continues to have a devastating impact on this community and the nation,” Couey said. In response, the Betty Ford Foundation developed the innovative COR-12, a Comprehensive Opioid Response program with the 12 steps.

KAREN BILLING

The new Betty Ford Center San Diego. Couey said the holistic approach, which includes a medication-assisted rehab to ease withdrawal, has a proven track record of keeping patients engaged. Over the past several years, patients are increasingly coming to them at a much-younger age. Couey said that, at the center, the team specializes in an individual program for teens. Jim Steinhagen, vice president southwest region and Betty Ford Center administrator, said the goal from the beginning was to be a community partner and they found one in Scripps Health Network. Scripps has merged its treatment center into theirs and they opened with 10 staff members from Scripps now a part of the Betty Ford family.

Steinhagen said they are the group that will work the “magic” under the leadership of Couey and he hopes that the center will be a tribute to the Betty Ford Center, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. “Betty Ford’s legacy includes her courage and commitment to advocacy, she broke down the barriers of stigma and paved the way for people to walk through the doors of community-based facilities such as this one in San Diego,” Steinhagen said.

Local students start nationwide letter-writing effort for climate change BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A group of local kids are hoping to raise national awareness for global warming in a letter- writing campaign to President-elect Donald Trump, beginning on Inauguration Day, Jan. 22. The effort, called Kids4PlanetEarth, began late last year when mothers Ann Wycoff, a journalist, and Heidi Dewar, a marine biologist, decided more people should be aware of the climate change and invited their children to help spread the word. “I think Heidi and I were both concerned about what’s going on with the environment, and particularly with the new administration coming in if they were going to address climate change,” Wycoff said. “We’ve been hearing different opinions on how much they’re supporting the idea and notion of climate change. ... We knew the kids cared as well.” The group watched the documentary “Before the Flood” to learn about the potential dangers of climate change, including dying populations, the spread of infectious diseases and more extreme weather events, like hurricanes and intense heat waves. Dewar added the next generation will “suffer more than we will” if nothing is done now. This led to the children deciding to write

Their mission has since spread to “ambassadors” in other states, and more than 10,000 people have pledged so far to send in letters, according to the group’s website, kids4planetearth.org. The goal is to have one million letters sent to Trump’s office by Earth Day on April 22. “It just shows that global warming is a serious issue,” said Madeline Carlson, 14, an

eighth grader at Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach. “One of the issues that really got to me is, since we live on the coast, the warmer temperatures are melting glaciers... and causing the water levels to rise. That can cause flooding in beach towns like Solana Beach.” She was also concerned with the population of polar bears dropping dramatically. Luke Halpern, a 13-year-old eighth grader at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, said he was

concerned about less snow melt. He said that affected him directly because his family owns a cabin in the Sierra mountains. Luke said he decided to “appeal to Trump’s business side” in his letter. “There’s a large market in renewable energy sources, so I thought that maybe if he saw that he would decide there was a good business opportunity and maybe be willing to take more initiative,” he said. The ultimate goal is for Trump to be aware of global warming, said Olivia Wheadon, a 13-year-old eighth grader at Earl Warren. About 97 percent of scientists believe human activity is causing significant climate change, according to Kids4PlanetEarth’s research. “I don’t want [Trump] to think global warming isn’t the most important thing we have to deal with right now,” Olivia said. Dewar said it was essential for the kids to get involved so they know that, even though they can’t vote yet, their voice still matters. “It’s certainly very encouraging because it’s their planet and almost more so than ours at this point,” she said. “To see them sort of take the reigns and push things in the right direction through advocacy is great to see. I think in the long-term, people feel a bit disconnected from politics, so to start at this early age is important. I think that’s as important as the whole climate change issue.”

Local woman bears message of hope for ostomy patients BY KAREN BILLING After undergoing her own ostomy surgery, local resident Dawnette Meredith created Awesome Ollie the Ostomy Bear, to provide comfort and positivity to young ostomy patients. She made her first deliveries of Ollies to Rady Children’s Hospital ostomy nurses last year and is looking to get bears into the arms of more kids this year. “It was so joyful, to take something that isn’t ideal and make something positive out of it; to make somebody happy,” Meredith said. There are many reasons why people undergo ostomy surgeries, creating an opening in the body for the discharge of waste. Meredith’s reason was the digestive illness she had since birth, battling colonic-inertia for a long 49 years, nine months and 15 days. “I was left with no other choice but to have the surgery done. I did and I feel so much better,” said Meredith, who had the surgery in December 2015 and now lives with an ostomy bag. “I’ve been on a mission to tell people it’s not that bad. I can still swim, run, hike, surf, do hot yoga. It’s really been motivating for me to be an advocate for what this is and that you can live a full life.” She started a video blog where she helps answer lifestyle questions for those living with ostomy bags and how they shouldn’t be afraid to get back to doing what they love. After her ostomy surgery, Meredith went online and found a stuffed bunny with an ostomy bag, made in Scotland. She ordered one for herself and was so happy when the cute and admittedly expensive bunny with a

Dawnette Meredith pouch arrived. “My bunny was a bright spot in my recovery. It was a daily reminder to smile and laugh at an otherwise less than ideal situation,” Meredith said. “It somehow made it easier to talk about my illness and recent surgery.” The bunny gave her the idea for Awesome Ollie, to help kids going through the same thing she did. She started in her own backyard where Rady Children’s Hospital performs roughly 120 ostomy surgeries per year. She got in touch with the Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society to help make the connection with Rady and “worked like a crazy woman” to find a way to produce the

bears. Meredith buys the bears locally and cuts and sews the ostomy pieces themselves — the pouch and a red stoma button. The bears are then sent to a commercial sewer in order to meet safety standards. She and her husband sponsored the first eight bears, which were delivered to Rady nurses in October 2016. “They were so excited,” said Meredith, who isn’t able to distribute the bears herself due to privacy laws but loves to hear the stories about the recipients. “It’s great for the nurses because it’s a learning tool to use with the kids, it helps them talk to kids about what’s going on in their bodies.” Meredith approached her ostomy support

group asking for sponsorships and they sponsored 35 bears, which she was able to get to Rady before the holidays. She has since had requests for bears from the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, as well as a hospital in New Jersey. Meredith’s goal — and she acknowledges it’s a big one — is to get Awesome Ollie bears in every children’s hospital in the country. “It’s just something that made me happy and I want to pass that along,” Meredith said. An Awesome Ollie sponsorship is $20 a bear. Anyone interested in sponsoring bears at a local hospital or to purchase a bear can contact Terrabusy@yahoo.com or call (858) 336-4418.

Chabad Jewish Center of RSF course focuses on ‘The Dilemma: Modern Conundrums. Talmudic Debates. Your Solutions.’ Engage in a brain-twisting, mind-wrestling, hair-splitting experience as you explore modern situations and the complex dilemmas they give rise to while you seek solutions by examining original Talmudic texts. Beginning Monday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m., Rabbi Levi Raskin of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will offer a fascinating new six-session course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) called “The Dilemma: Modern Conundrums. Talmudic Debates. Your Solutions.” In an example of one such conundrum, Tesla Motors is currently programming self-driving cars for instances when death is inevitable. Should they program the cars to swerve and avoid killing more pedestrians, but kill one whose life was previously not endangered? Should it favor the lives of pedestrians over passengers? Should it favor the lives of younger people over those who are older? And should owners be given the ability to determine these settings? In another example relating to

the recently popularized Pokémon Go mobile app: Should the game’s creators be held liable in the hundreds of cases of trespassing and damages that were incurred because of Pokémon characters negligently programmed to be found on private properties? “In The Dilemma we encounter fascinating, real-life conundrums; situations in which your gut instinctively responds one way, but your brain tells you quite the opposite,” explained Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s Brooklyn, New York headquarters. “To solve these dilemmas, participants are asked to break into study groups and explore hair-splitting Talmudic arguments that participants then debate and apply to solve the cases using new, interactive polling technology.” “The Dilemma is a mental expedition in which participants mind-wrestle with situations that force them to choose between two reasonable truths,” said Rabbi Levi Raskin of Chabad Jewish Center of RSF “Participants analyze, discuss, and debate original Talmudic

texts to solve dilemmas and get an authentic taste of dynamic Talmud study.” “I find people in RSF love having the opportunity to engage in social discourse, particularly when it involves fascinating intellectual challenges and hot topics such as Pokémon Go and Tesla’s self-driving cars,” Raskin said. “This is by far the most captivating course we’ve ever offered and I encourage everyone to attend.” The Dilemma is accredited for continuing legal education credits for attorneys and others in the legal professions. Like all JLI programs, this course is designed to appeal to people at all levels of knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and for other course-related information.

Innocence Project co-founder discusses wrongful convictions BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Twenty years ago, California Innocence Project director and co-founder, Justin Brooks, changed his career as a criminal defense lawyer for a tenured teaching position at a university in Michigan, a small Victorian house and a good public school for his children. But the quiet, tranquil life as a professor only lasted one year, Brooks told those gathered at the La Jolla Bar Association meeting Jan.12. “I read an article in the Justin newspaper that talked about a Brooks 21-year-old woman sentenced to death on a plea bargain,” he explained, “I went to visit her on death row, and I found a kid who didn’t speak English fluently, and she tells me this other amazing thing, which is, ‘I’m innocent.’ ” That was enough for Brooks to sell his Victorian cottage and move to San Diego to start the ground-breaking California Innocence Project (CIP). This law school clinical program, based out of California Western School of Law, is dedicated to releasing wrongfully convicted inmates and giving students real life law-practicing experience. Brooks said he decided to start the program in California because the state is “the belly of the beast” with the largest prison system in the country and the “toughest” sentence structure. CIP reviews 2,000 claims of innocence a year, and chooses a few wherein they find strong evidence of innocence to pursue. With the help of students who participate in the clinic and

Brooks reported that so far, there have been 2,000 documented cases of wrongful conviction in the United States. “You may remember a time when people where deeply cynical about this, but DNA was a game changer. The Federal government has admitted that there are innocent people in prison,” he said. Today there are 60 Innocence Projects in different parts of the country, and many more around the world. “This is a global problem,” Brooks insisted. “It’s not like the U.S. justice system is the worst in the world.” Citing a study that researched the country’s

first 300 DNA exonerations, he listed the most common causes of wrongful conviction. The No. 1, he said, is “bad identifications.” “The study also found that 31 percent (of incorrect IDs) was attributed to false information from informants.” Brooks went on to explain that human memory, is mostly not reliable as evidence in a trial. “Our memories are affected by everything at the time of the memory. Stress, fear, alcohol … the problem is, every time there is a gun involved, your focus is on the gun,” he said. Furthermore, when a witness is identifying a suspect from a race different than his own, there’s a 50 percent change that the ID is wrong. “Our ability for facial recognition is mostly developed in the first four years of our lives,” Brooks explained. “So when you’re looking at your mom, brothers and sisters, if

they all look the same, you’re going to be terrible at cross-racial identification for the rest of your life. Lawyers have to learn how to talk to jurors about this and not sound racist, because there’s nothing racist about it.” As an example, he used the case of Uriah Courtney, a San Diegan who was sentenced to life in prison and served eight years for a kidnapping and rape that he didn’t commit. His identification was based on the fact that he wore a goatee at the time. “Fortunately, the District Attorney agreed to a DNA testing on the victim’s clothing and we got a direct match with this guy, who lived a few blocks away from the crime scene and was a convicted sex offender,” Brooks said. The CIP also pushes legislation to prevent cases of wrongful conviction. “This year,at my office, we wrote two laws that are now law in California; we changed the evidence standards for reopening old cases, creating the laws that allow access to DNA testing for people who are cross-rated, and we changed the law about compensating people who have been wrongfully convicted. Every year we have a legal agenda we push through Sacramento,” Brooks elaborated. He said in San Diego County, they’ve been able to create a climate of collaboration with District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, which allows them to reopen old cases more easily than in other California counties. ■ Want to Know More?

CCA basketball finishes a competitive week with big win over Santa Fe Christian

ANNA SCIPIONE

Torrey Pines scrum half Beau Morgans feels the heat from Saints fly half James Downey (far left), but offloads in traffic to flanker Caleb Wilson.

Torrey Pines rugby defeats Saint Augustine in league opener BY TIM PICKWELL Torrey Pines High School Rugby spent most of the match recently at Ed Burke Stadium getting pushed up against its own try-line by St. Augustine. But, though the Saints dominated in time-of-possession and controlled the ball for much of the match, the Falcons prevailed where it mattered — points: 21-7 in the league opener for both schools. A relieved Torrey Pines Head Coach, Matty Sandoval summed it up. “For playing the majority of the game in our half, we are not only pleased, but surprised, at the result. It was a great,

great defensive effort.” Led by the powerful running of inside center Andrew Alves, the Saints continually pressured the Falcons. St. Augustine kicked off to start the match, and were pushing up against the try-line for the first 8 minutes, with the Falcon pack and back line scrambling to deny the attacks. When Torrey Pines finally broke across midfield it was a quick pitch, a break-away run by No. 8 Blake Richards-Smith, and a perfect off-load to Lock Tanner Wyandt, who broke tackles over the final 10 meters for the try.

With a record of 13-4, Coach Brian Baum's boys basketball team enters conference play with one of their strongest teams in years. The Ravens closed out non-conference play with road wins over Rancho Bernardo (72-67) and Santa Fe Christian (59-52). CCA also lost games against two of the county's top Division One teams, Vista (64-58) and Mission Hills (81-69). A strong fourth quarter secured the victory against Rancho Bernardo, who led for most of the game. Ryan Michaels and MJ Metz were the leading scorers for the Ravens with 21 and 18 points respectively. Aaron Acosta sealed the victory with two free throws with 7 seconds left in the game. Against Santa Fe Christian, the Ravens used a stifling defense to limit the Eagles' potent offence. Michaels and transfer Jakob Travis led the team in scoring and Tyler Elsom scored on two spectacular drives to the basket to push CCA to victory in the fourth quarter. The Mission Hills loss was

o matter how old they get, when you take your kids to a Science Museum, it’s like they’re 10 again. I was very excited to see the Fleet Science Center’s Art of the Brick exhibit over the winter break and asked my 20-year-old son and his 18-year-old girlfriend if they’d like to join us. Legos were part of both their lives growing up, so they agreed to go, although it didn’t appear to be high on their list of things to do on their three-week college break. Truth is, I think they were just being nice to me. But when we got there, it was a different story. The Art of the Brick exhibit was, truly, amazing – and I don’t use that word lightly. It’s not just a bunch of Lego bricks jammed together to make some wild figures or shapes. It was jaw-dropping creativity and art by any definition of the word. And the kids agreed. Using thousands of varied sizes and colors of Lego bricks, artist Nathan Sawaya brilliantly recreates masterpieces like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, and a life-size Whistler’s Mother. Sawaya also builds replicas of statues and famous sculptures, some life-size, from prehistoric times and early Egyptian, Babylonian and Mesopotamian eras, to more recent three-dimensional art. The Lego exhibit includes Michelangelo’s David, Rodin’s The Thinker, the bust of Queen Nefertiti

(my personal favorite for the vibrancy of the colors and authenticity of the design), Egypt’s Sphinx, Venus De Milo and so many others. Sawaya also presents original imaginative creations that shock and soar. Picture a realistically-sized dinosaur made of Legos. We spent quite a bit of time admiring Sawaya’s work before reluctantly leaving the exhibit to explore the science center’s main floor. And here’s where it got interesting. I expected the “kids” to like the Art of the Brick, which they did, but was unprepared for them to go crazy over every single science demo in the main science center. Side by side with children half their age, they built structures with blocks, waved through the tornado funnel, peered into microscopes, worked the sand pendulum, studied mirrored images, and generally played with everything they could get close to. They could have stayed there all night – which by the way the Fleet allows participants to do on various dates. The Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park has a number of events on the calendar that anyone with children – no matter the age – should check out. The Art of the Brick exhibit [http://www.rhfleet.org/ exhibitions/art-brick] ends Jan. 29 (go now!). Coming Jan. 21 is “The Secret Science of Toys” Festival which will disclose the science behind such classic toys as the Slinky and Yo-Yo.

“There were many changes during this era. In 1920, American women got the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment. And during World War II, women were allowed to go to work. However, when the men came back from war, it was seen as their patriotic duty to return home and women did in large numbers. … The women featured in this section were remarkable because they had a lot of barriers to overcome,” Harris said. These include San Diego’s first female architect, a specialty trained librarian who revamped the library system, a judge and more, as well as a Civil Rights activist and a key designer of the University of San Diego campus. One of these women, Belle Benchley, is known as The Zoo Lady, and was the director of the San Diego Zoo from 1927 to 1953. “She was the only female zoo director in the entire world at that time. … The first few directors were all men, but the whole time Belle Benchley was working there, she loved animals and

The fair is a collaboration between business and education, and offers students the chance to experience real science applications and interact with scientists and businesses involved in STEM-related work. Regular programs include a tour of the solar system presented by the Fleet’s astronomer on the first Wednesday evening of each month. For general information on upcoming events at the Fleet Science Center, including the IMAX theater offerings, go to http://www.rhfleet.org/. Balboa Park is San Diego’s Crown Jewel (besides the beaches), and the Fleet isn’t the only place there to take your grown kids to see them revert back to their childhoods. With both my college boys home over the break, I reminisced back to the time when they were little and we frequently visited the San Diego Zoo. So why not do it again? They heartily agreed. Walking through the zoo at Christmas time was a wondrous sight. And the animals obliged by being (mostly) lively and engaging. We were particularly enthralled by the animal buddies, a dog and a cheetah active and interacting with one another. That two natural enemies could be paired together at a young age and grow to depend upon each other and care for one another made us consider that animals have a lot to teach humans. Revisiting Harry Potter When the kids are home, not a lot of work gets done – except continually stocking the refrigerator and doing laundry. So, giving in to being child-focused once again, I spent free time reading and re-reading children’s books.

would learn all about their habits and would make sure they were fed correctly. After three failed directors, people realized she was doing the job anyway, and asked her to be the director,” Harris said. “She made so many changes during her time … including putting the animals in natural habitats (as opposed to steel cages) and in family groups.” Another, Ruth Alexander, was an aviatrix. As Harris explained, “Charles Lindberg flew in the 1920s, but in 1929, Ruth Alexander set an altitude record for women flying light planes. She was the first female aviatrix to complete a three-country flight. She started in Canada, flew past the United States, and landed in Mexico. She set a number of records. In 1930, at age 25, she set out to make a one-stop flight to the East Coast. Her plane took off from Point LomaCirca and moments later, crashed.”

Circa 1950-2000

“Everything began to change in this era. … We had television programs such as ‘Leave it to Beaver and ‘I Love Lucy’ that perpetuated the image of women as the weaker sex. But in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote ‘The Feminine Mystique’ and ushered in the Women’s Liberation Movement,” Harris said. “Slowly, conventional assumptions about the role of women began to change. But the belief that a

the official eighth book of the Potter series, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts I and II. Although it’s a script, written for a play that premiered in London last summer, it was still a captivating journey back in time when my kids – everyone’s kids – were spellbound with Pottermania. The story takes place 19 years after the defeat of Voldemort. Harry is married to Ginny Weasley and they have three children. Hermione and Ron are married with two children. I’m still adjusting to those plot developments, remembering little Rupert Grint portraying the adorable red-headed Ron Weasley in the Potter movies. This eighth story is pure J.K. Rowling magic. But because it’s a script for a play, it lacks the wonderful character development that Rowling gave to her stars in the first seven books. To fill in the gaps, readers must use their imaginations, which isn’t that hard to do for devoted fans of the series. Ironically, as I was reading the book, the kids were re-watching the Potter movies. I wonder if they were doing exactly what I was doing – remembering the time nearly 20 years ago when they were small and magic was real. It was a time when a stick became a wand, when Alohomora and Accio were real words in their vocabularies, when hexes, spells, potions and charms opened young minds to the powers of imagination and the thrill of fantasy literature. And so, the children grow up as they are supposed to do. But they come back now and then, and we get to relive precious moments that seem to have slipped away far too quickly.

woman could combine a family and a career was still foreign. In the 1970s, only 3 percent of the nation’s lawyers were women, and only 7 percent of doctors were female. There were 10 women in the 435-member House of Representatives and one woman in the U.S. Senate. Even though times had changed, the women in this section were still considered ‘unusual.’ ” San Diego’s first female surgeon, Anita Figueredo, once walked from the operating room to the maternity ward so she could give birth, and then she returned to make rounds as a pediatrician. “She had nine children. If anyone successfully combined a career and family, it was Anita,” Harris joked. Others of note included the founder of the Mingei Museum, the first woman to swim the English Channel, the founder of the first fitness spa, an advocate for Native Americans, the first female superintendent of San Diego City Schools and more.

Right-to-die champion shares movement history BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN t was in the early 1980s when long-time San Diegan and now-resident of Vi retirement community at La Jolla Village, Faye Girsh, was asked to help a 28-year-old quadriplegic woman die. “She wanted to die by stopping to eat and drink, which was illegal at the time. I evaluated her and found she was a smart, confident lady, not depressed. She just wanted to die.” As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Girsh assisted the woman at the court trial, which she lost. But that sparked a lifetime of involvement in the “Right-to-Die” movement. In 1986, Girsh organized a Right-to-Die conference, which was sponsored by UC San Diego Medical School, where she met Derek Humphrey, then-president and founder of the Hemlock Society. Girsh went on to start the San Diego chapter of the Hemlock society, over which she still presides. Girsh, who before beginning her path in the Right-to-Die movement was a civil rights activist, said her motivation always was the “injustice” behind denying a person the right to decide how they want to die. “Many people do it themselves, use violent methods (to end their lives) because their suffering is so great, and that just seems to me to be horribly unjust,” she explained. By the time she started the Hemlock Society of San Diego, it was legal in California to refuse all treatments other than food and water. A person could indicate in a living will, which treatments and when to refuse them, and appoint a representative to speak for them in case they couldn’t do it for themselves. “But that was not enough,” Girsh said. In 1987, she started the long process than ended in 2015 when the California legislature approved the End of Life Option Act that allows a terminally-ill patient to request the drugs necessary to grant them a peaceful and painless death. “We got the initiative on the ballot in 1992, but we were outspent by the Catholic

Faye Girsh, 83, is a resident at Vi retirement community at La Jolla Village, and still promoting ‘death with dignity.’ Church,” she explained. The Catholic Church, among other groups, maintains it amounts to assisted suicide and goes against the will of God. But the approved legislation, Girsh said, is still not enough. “If you don’t have a terminal disease but you’re suffering from some horrible disease, and if you’re not mentally competent, these laws are useless,” she continued, adding that her worst fear is losing her mental faculties. “If I knew I had dementia, what would happen is, it would get very bad, I would be put in the memory unit, and then my life could go on and on, and I might not have a clue who I am, where I am or who my loved ones are. If I knew that was going to happen, I would try to get the medication from some illegal means and take it.” From 1996 to 2002 Girsh was president of the Hemlock Society USA, and 2002-2004 senior vice president of

End-of-Life-Choices (Hemlock’s temporary name). During that time, she said, she resided in Denver, Colorado where the Society is based, to manage its national operations. At age 83, Girsh said she has survived two husbands and thought a great deal about her own death. “When I got into the movement, I was young, and now I’m old, so it becomes personal. I live in a retirement community where many people die very bad deaths,” she explained. “It’s essential to me to know that I can end it when I want, in a gentle, peaceful way, and maybe I would want to have a party with my friends to say goodbye. I think hospice is a wonderful institution, and if I had hospice care and I wasn’t suffering too much, I would want to live until the very end, if I was enjoying life. But if I was going through suffering and indignity, I would like to end it with my kids and maybe grandkids (near), in my own apartment,” she elaborated. A native of Philadelphia, Girsh said she moved to San Diego in 1978 after “three winters in Chicago.” In 2003, she was awarded Hemlock’s Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2016, the Marilyn Sequin Award from the World Federation of Right-to-Die Societies. Girsh recommends to people of all ages that they write their living will and appoint someone to speak for them in case of an accident or sudden illness. The detail of the instructions, she added, should be substantial. “Suppose I got hit by a truck this afternoon. I can’t speak or breathe or feed myself. But the chances are that I might recover, so in the meantime, I would want to be fed artificially and put on breathing machine, and maybe on dialysis even. But then, if in a couple months, if I was still needing these things, I would want to be re-examined, and if there was no chance of recovery, I would want to be taken off these things,” she concluded. ■ Want to know more about the Right-to-Die movement?

FROM SUPES, A1 according to Roberts, and salaries have been increased a total of 7.17 percent over the nine years since 2008. The fiscal impact of the increases would be $17,688 for the remainder of 2016-17 and additional costs of $88,438 for 2017-18. In making her vote against the salaries, Gaspar explained that for many years, both in the public and private sectors, she has been responsible for overseeing and implementing employee compensation packages. “This is a duty I take very seriously because as I know, there are always competing priorities for our precious resources,” Gaspar said. The question she said she always asks herself when reviewing employee compensation for her own company or as an elected official is whether the compensation is appropriate for the work performed. “Awkwardly I sit here having been sworn in just 24 hours ago and I can be the first to admit that I don’t know how to get past that first fundamental question, so I won’t be supporting the motion on the floor today,” Gaspar said.

FROM SOUL, A1 students start the day by setting their intentions and meditating, have a midday focus on self-development and an end-of-the-day reflection session. Grimes’ vision for the holistic school approach has been guided by the memory of his little brother, a teenager who was gifted academically, thrived in sports and was popular in school but never understood his emotional being or his personal self. Grimes was completing his master’s degree in educational administration when his brother committed suicide at age 17.

Gaspar’s predecessor, former District 3 Supervisor Dave Roberts, also voted against the salary increase at December’s first reading before he left office. Some in the audience began to yell as the supervisors prepared to vote, one woman shouting “shame on you!” Board chair Dianne Jacob had to quiet the audience before they could continue, stating that even though there may be disagreements there should always be respect and that outbursts and “unfortunate personal attacks” aren’t helpful. “Let’s continue to work together as a community,” Jacob said. “I think you’ll find this board in the past and in the future willing to work with all San Diego citizens in trying to address the priorities.” During public comment of 25 speakers in opposition, many argued that taking money away from people who are suffering is not fair or reasonable. Members of the Invest in San Diego Families Coalition and Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACE) spoke about how the salary increases seem wrong in light of how many in the community are struggling.

They referenced a recent report showed that the percentage of people homeless in San Diego County is higher than it was during the great recession eight years ago, there is a housing crisis and San Diego has the fourth highest homeless population in the nation. “The county needs to address affordable housing, it is out of reach for many. We ask you to make the same investment in the county’s families and safety-net services as you are making in yourselves,” said Lileana Robles. Deanna Myers asked the supervisors to consider walking a mile in her shoes — she has worked for the county for 30 years and as an office assistant she tops out at $17.49 an hour. “You live on that salary,” she challenged, noting that the average housing in San Diego is now $1,800 a month. “County employees would love to have a 12.5 percent raise. If you can do it for yourself you darn well better come with it for San Diego County employees…There’s so many things we need, we don’t need to spend $90,000 a year on your retirement when we, as a community, are suffering.” Rancho Penasquitos resident Isabella Firth

asked the board members to “check their priorities” after watching last summer when the board was asked to spend reserves investing in needs like homelessness, foster care, mental health services and criminal justice and did not. “And yet you’re able to grant yourselves an annual increase that is more than many families have to live on. That failure to invest in San Diego families diminishes us as a county,” Firth said. “And your willingness to vote to increase your own comfort adds insult to that injury. You can say that in a budget as big as San Diego’s this is just a drop in the bucket. But these acts tell us where your priorities are and who you serve.” Jacob said the board listened very carefully to the many “compelling” arguments people made. She said when the supervisors get to the budget for next year, she thinks the board will adjust priorities appropriately and have adequate public hearings. “They’re tough decisions to make but we do our best to carefully allocate the resources that we have control over,” Jacob said. “Let’s all work together and not create divisiveness in our community because, in the end, that’s not going to help us come to good decisions.”

Grimes said his brother’s death confirmed to him the need to teach to the students’ whole being and the importance of personal development at a young age. The SDUHSD district opted not to provide testimony at the meeting, instead submitting last year’s report on SOUL’s charter petition. The SDUHSD board had a chance to deny or to approve the school with conditions, but SOUL decided to decline the conditional approval option, leaving the board only the option to deny, which it did in October. Per the district’s report, SOUL presented an “unrealistic financial and operational plan”;

noting: “They appear to lack the necessary background in education administration and leadership that is critical to effectively operate a charter school.” The district was looking for a more comprehensive and accurate list of start-up costs, competitive salaries and health benefits, costs of books and supplies and budgeted expenses that account for SOUL’s plan to provide musical instruments and cameras to students, after-school tutoring, and monthly workshops for parent/guardians that are free of charge, such as yoga and cooking classes. In the area of curriculum, the district wanted

to see a more comprehensive description of the educational program. SOUL received endorsements at the hearing that differed from SDUHSD’s assessments. Eileen Logue, business director at Charter School Management Corporation, told the SDCOE board she finds SOUL to be fiscally viable and that they are slated to be the recipients of a start-up grant. Jennifer Reiter-Cook, the California Charter Schools Association director of school development for Southern California, said that she could state with confidence that SOUL’s petition is legally-compliant, educationally sound and research-based.

Jackson Baere nailed the conversion to put Torrey Pines up, 7-0. Wyandt, a junior, plays the football equivalent of a tackle, and was hustling 50 meters downfield on the play to be in a position to support Richards-Smith and take the pitch. “It was a great game,” said Wyandt. “We are scrappy. We played with heart.” A steady rain helped dampen the scoring in the rest of the first half, but let up at half-time. Saints had two break-away runs whistled back for off-sides in a 2 minute period at the start of the half, before Torrey Pines used a fierce attack, and a strong run by senior Richards-Smith to go up, 14-0.

same that we’ve been doing for years. There are actually probably fewer radiation side effects with this treatment.” Wilde said damage to surrounding tissue is greater with whole breast radiation, though even that is very safe. “I think it’s very important to remind patients if they aren’t suitable candidates for this kind of treatment and they are getting radiation to their whole breast, the risks of that are very low,” she said. “We don’t want to send a message out that patients who have the regular treatment are at high risk. It’s just that this newer treatment is an even lower risk than the already low-risk traditional treatment. It’s also radiation that’s given while the area is open, so it doesn’t have to go through the skin. You don’t get any damage to the skin.” The treatment can also be less expensive for patients. The one-time procedure can cost insurance companies $4,100 while the traditional whole-breast radiation can cost about $28,000 because of the multiple visits, Shimizu said.

But, with 5 minutes left, it was the Beau Show. A long run took the ball down to the 10-meter line. He fed the ball into the scrum, and took it out. The team pushed ahead, and a Saints penalty gave them a scrum on the 5-meter line. With less than 2 minutes to go, Morgans went over the left side for a try to put the match out of reach. “It was time to do something,” Morgans explained. Saints Coach Ian Denham saw the match much like his Torrey Pines counterpart. “Mistakes, a wet ball, two trys held up at the line, more mistakes. Torrey Pines took care of their chances. We had the majority of possession. If you don’t come away with a score, you have nobody to blame but yourself.” Both schools play in the Southern California Youth Rugby High School Red (Single School) Division, and came into the match undefeated, with early season blow-outs to their credit.

Their support of the JFS kitchen produces more than 84,000 kosher, hot meals for older adults each year. ■ National Charity League San Dieguito Chapter’s eighth-grade class concentrates its philanthropic efforts toward JFS as their “Focus Philanthropy.” The Class of 2021 has dedicated hundreds of hours volunteering in the JFS Hand Up Youth Food Pantry to enable it to provide more than 258,000 bags of food annually to people in need throughout the community, including military families served through monthly food distributions at Murphy Canyon and Camp Pendleton. Older technology is more expensive than the Mobetron, Wilde added. “For once, more advanced technology has really decreased the cost of the care,” Wilde said. “This technique is not going to generate as much revenue for the hospital, so there are places across the country that won’t implement this technology for these financial reasons. I admire Scripps so much for being willing to give up the financially lucrative type of radiation for the appropriately selected patient for this type of radiation, which is not going to make the hospital the kind of money that the other kind makes.” Geckeler said she was relieved to be done with her treatments. She said she has encouraged her three adult daughters to get routine breast exams. “Knowing that at my age this option was available to me, I can’t imagine what’s going to be available to them in the event that they have to go through this,” she said. “[Cancer] is all around you.

RSF Literary Society hosts author Joshua Hammer

he RSF Literary Society hosted guest speaker Joshua Hammer, author of “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu,” at a luncheon held Jan. 13 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. Hammer, a journalist as well as an author, visited Timbuktu numerous times over the past 20 years. According to the RSF Literary Society press release, Hammer “is uniquely qualified to tell the story of a band of librarians’ heroic and ultimately successful effort to outwit Al Qaeda and preserve

Mali’s—and the world’s — literary patrimony. Hammer offers never-before-reported details about the militants’ march into northwest Africa. The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu is an inspiring account of the victory of art and literature over extremism.” Look for a story on Hammer in the next issue of the RSF Review (Jan. 26).

Tony-nominated Susan Egan Canyon Crest Academy’s Creative Writing Club works with CCA students for announces Gold Sponsor IDW Publishing for 6th Annual CCA Writers’ Conference Rendezvous in Paris Gala

La Jolla Cultural Partners

How many of us dreamed of being a princess? For Susan Egan, her dream came true on Broadway as Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and now she is headed to San Diego. Tony-nominated Broadway superstar Susan Egan, will be headlining the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s Rendezvous in Paris Gala on Feb. 25. In preparation for the big event, two CCA Cinema students, Daniel Goodman and Christopher Razniak, volunteered for a learning experience of a lifetime: head to Orange County on a rainy Monday morning to shoot a promo video with Susan Egan. Greeted with kindness and enthusiasm, Egan invited the students into her home. This was the first time the young filmmakers had worked with a professional performer, but also the first time the performer had been filmed by high school students. Egan was impressed with the professional equipment and training of the young director and filmmaker. The shoot was originally planned to be done outdoors, using natural light, but rainy conditions forced a move to the indoors, making lighting a challenge.

New Del Mar photo exhibit offers global perspective BY JOE TASH Armchair travelers will have a field day with a new photography exhibit on display at Del Mar’s Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair. The exhibit features 64 photographs by San Diego photographer Michael Orenich, focusing on images from Mongolia, Cuba and Morocco. Also included are shots from Greece, Italy, Spain and France. The photos went on display this month, and the exhibit will continue through March 4. A “grand reception,” open to the public and billed as black-tie optional, will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28. The gallery is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd. One unique aspect of the gallery is that the artworks, in this case Orenich’s photos, are housed in glass-fronted display cases in the complex’s inner courtyard. That means the gallery is essentially open at all hours of the day and night, as the viewing area is outdoors and not enclosed in the building. The complex, which houses a number of businesses, including a fitness center, was designed by the gallery’s namesake, architect Herbert B. Turner, who during his career designed some 50 homes and commercial buildings in Del Mar. The

Turner Gallery in Del Mar. complex and gallery are now owned by Rachel Turner Thomas, the architect’s daughter. “Herb’s wishes were to always use this space for local artists to display their work,” said Bob Coletti, who, along with Orenich, has been coordinating exhibits at the gallery for the past year. In 2016, the gallery hosted a series of themed exhibits, on such topics as equine and surf art, with each show featuring the works of multiple artists. This year, the gallery will host solo shows, the first of which features Orenich’s photography. “It requires a large body of work,” said Orenich of the solo exhibit.

For this exhibit, Orenich chose works primarily from the countries of Mongolia, Cuba and Morocco. He considers himself to be a “narrative photographer,” meaning, “I’m trying to communicate elements of the culture.” Orenich traveled to remote areas of Mongolia in 2013, getting around by jeep with a driver, translator and a British photojournalist. The group flew into the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar, then embarked on a 300-mile journey, partly over roads and partly across country, Orenich said. Their destination was an Eagle Festival, where participants SEE EXHIBIT, B17

Pappalecco brings a ‘Tuscan home’ to DM Highlands BY KAREN BILLING Pappalecco has opened in Del Mar Highlands Town Center, bringing a true taste of Tuscany to Carmel Valley. Now with his sixth San Diego location, Pappalecco’s Chef Lorenzo Bucci credits his success to the simplicity and authenticity of the food – from gelato to panini and pastries – and the welcoming smiles of his staff. Bucci, who co-owns the restaurant with his brother Francesco, owned two restaurants with his brothers in Tuscany and currently owns one in Pisa. In the U.S., Bucci cooks the exact same way he did in Italy, allowing him to say with conviction that “Pappalecco is freaking authentic.” How long have you been in America and what was your American dream? I've been in America long enough to believe that dreams come true! I arrived about 10 years ago. My plan was to recreate here, in America, what I was doing in Tuscany. Pappalecco turned out just like I expected. Every time I enter one of our stores, I feel at home, I feel like I am in Tuscany. How long have you been cooking and baking and how did you learn? I learned by doing it; by doing it side by side with people that really know how to do it. In Tuscany, I spent hours and hours in several kitchens, in different restaurants and bakeries. The first time I set foot in a professional kitchen I was 6 years old. And I fell in love with that environment. The best Tuscan pastry

What made you pick Carmel Valley as your new location? You mean "what made Carmel Valley pick Pappalecco?" The response is in the comments of many of our guests: "We really needed something like that, we don't have anything similar!" or "Thank God! Now I don't have to drive to Cardiff or to downtown to have the right espresso, a panino or a gelato." You know, this feels good. It feels like we are serving a neighborhood and bringing something that every neighborhood should have. Tuscany is such a vast cultural experience that, in my opinion, there should be a piece of Tuscany in every corner of the world. How would you describe your menu? Tuscan, simple, homemade, genuine and made with love. Did you know that I cook using only five main ingredients? Did you know

Pappalecco’s Chef Lorenzo Bucci. that my grandma's cookbook is the inspiration of many of our creations? Will the new location have anything different than the other locations? Only the zip code. Our guests love Pappalecco the way it is, they feel at home, a Tuscan Home, when they come to visit. We offer what is authentic, they don't want us to change what is authentic. Our strength is in our authentic food, not

in the size of our menu. In truth, I haven't created our menu, our menu has been created by centuries of history and Tuscan tradition. Our wonderful cooks and baristas are trained to make the same cappuccino in every location, or, like we say, in every "home." Some of them actually work in different locations. Consistency is one of the main ingredients of our project. After all, you don't want to touch what

500 years of Tuscan tradition have already selected and improved a million times, do you? I'll tell you more: our baristas could move to Tuscany tomorrow and be hired by a Italian cafe without having to learn anything. They even know how to say "Ciao," "Buongiorno" or "Buon notte" and so on... What is unique about Tuscan coffee? It is like music on your lips. Not too hot, not too bitter, not too weak, not too... The beauty of Tuscany is also a very deep sense of balance. And, by the way, our coffee is organic. We have guests that drive 10 miles or more every morning for our coffee and for our croissants. And they've been doing that for years. What is it like sharing this dream with your brother? It's an amazing experience. It saves a lot of time. Because as soon as either one of us starts a conversation, the other already knows where the conversation is going. So we don't even need to finish it. I know my brother even too well. We read each other's mind to the point of being scary, at times. Did you ever imagine you would have six locations? Do you know anybody that opened 100 or 1,000 locations without opening six first? I am not joking: I think there should be a "Tuscan Home" in each and every neighborhood. For more information, visit www.pappalecco.com; 858-847-2910.

Artist shows work of re-purposed packaging in gallery BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY What many consider trash, Tom Driscoll sees as potential art. The San Diego resident has re-purposed plastic packaging into colored casts for about 12 years. “You know when you buy a screwdriver or toy or something from Target or Toys ‘R’ Us, you always get this nice plastic packaging? You rip it, take the item out and throw the packaging away,” said the 71-year-old man, who lives in the City Heights area. “I use that packaging.” Driscoll began collecting the pieces as a custodian at a research facility more than a decade ago. There, he would find interesting packaging that once belonged to uniquely-shaped computer equipment, like old mouses. He has since gained a habit of paying attention to packaging while at the store. His wife will also often go shopping and buy items with interesting packaging to bring home to her husband. The packaging, which Driscoll often refers to as “molds,” is then put in a damp box and then a hard colored plaster — he has dozens of colors to choose from — is poured on. It sits for about a half hour, and then Driscoll has a new piece.

BRITTANY WOOLSEY

San Diego-based artist Tom Driscoll is presenting his show “Array,” full of casts of packaging materials, at the Lux Art Institute. Driscoll, who studied art and sculpture at Southwestern College in Chula Vista in the 1970s, said he can also use Styrofoam packaging but he prefers plastic due to its glossiness. He said his work, which is currently on display at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas through March 13, is a “reflection of society’s consumerism habit.” “I’m generally critical of how we carry on and buy too much stuff at Christmas time,” Driscoll said. “We buy toys that break, and they go

in the trash. That creates waste. The stuff comes in by the ton on container ships. Then it’s purchased one-time only for the kids, then it’s gone. I come along and find the packaging and use it.” However, he said, the work — which has also been displayed at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla and the Oceanside Museum of Art — isn’t aimed at promoting environmentalism. Driscoll, who described himself as a “scavenger,” said the packaging can be cast multiple times. However, the

plastic or foam can wear away after three or four years. Large knots in various colors are also on display in Driscoll’s show. For these, he uses foam coil — the kind the highway department uses to fill cracks in the freeway — and randomly ties up knots. He then coats them with primer

to solidify the surface and applies two coats of color. In his 12 years with this project, Driscoll said he has collected about 100 different types of packaging “from the toy world to the computer world to the gardening world.” “It’s wide open,” he said. “Whatever you buy, I’ll come by and get your molds.”

He said one of his favorite molds he has created came from a Styrofoam package of ice cream cones, which looked like triangles stacked atop one another to give a “wonderful rocket kind of shape.” The appeal in the work is that it is easy and fast to create, Driscoll said. He said he likes that he can pour something in a mold, come back an hour later and have a new piece. “I think that’s maybe part of my attraction,” he said, laughing. “I don’t want to labor for months on a piece.” For this reason, it’s also easy for Driscoll to not worry about his pieces when they break. He recalled a museum calling him about someone bumping into one of his pieces, which then fell to the floor and shattered. “I told them it was no problem,” he said, smiling. “It’s very unusual to be able to replace a piece within a day, but I’m glad to do it.” The Lux Art Institute is located at 1550 S. El Camino Real Encinitas, CA 92024. For more information, visit www.luxartinstitute.org.

The De Anza Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution gave an award to Grossmont High School senior Emily Hinton for “Outstanding Youth Service for Veterans.” Emily received this award from the chapter for her over 800 hours of dedicated service at the VA Hospital in La Jolla. Emily has been leading an effort to expand VA youth volunteer service opportunities to encourage other young people to engage in service to veterans. After high school, Emily plans to attend a four-year university in California and major in biology or pre-medicine with a minor in child development in order to fulfill her goal of becoming a physician. The speakers at the meeting where Emily received her award were Capt. Marlene Krpata (ret.) and Major Nico Marcolongo (ret.) of the Challenged Athletes Foundation: Operation Rebound, which offers a

program that strengthens the mental and physical well-being of veterans, military personnel, and first responders with permanent physical injuries by providing them opportunities to use sports and fitness to re-integrate into communities and by empowering them through sports. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism, preserve American history, and support better education for this nation’s children. Its members are descended from the 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. To learn more about the work of today’s DAR, visit www.DAR.org or email DeAnzaDAR@gmail.com.

Musician George Winston to return to La Paloma Theater BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Playing at La Paloma Theater has been a longstanding tradition for musician George Winston. The Santa Cruz-based pianist said he has been drawn to the Encinitas venue each year since 1982 because of what he considers the city’s “charm.” “I love the theatre, area and people,” he said. “It’s just a great place to play and to be. I just always appreciate always being able to come back. It’s really new to San Diego but it really has its own identity.” Winston will once again perform at La Paloma on Jan. 27 and 28 at 8 p.m. in a winter-themed show. The Saturday show is currently sold out, according to the theater, located at 471 S. Coast Hwy 101. About 15 original and cover songs will be performed

STEVE LANKFORD

Pianist George Winston will perform at La Paloma Theatre on Jan. 27 and 28. during his set, and instruments such as piano, guitar and harmonica will be played. Some of Winston’s favorite pieces to play are Peanuts pieces from Charlie Brown by Vince Guiraldi. He described most of the pieces he’ll play as “rhythm and blues piano.”

“It’s kind of a mixture of the melodic and the up-tempo, which feels just right,” he said. On top of regular admission, the musician, who has released 13 studio albums, invites guests to bring canned food to donate to Encinitas’ Community Resource Center. Proceeds from CD sales will also be donated to the organization, he said. Winston has a history of supporting charities, as he released EPs that benefited cancer research and other causes. “I just want to help out,” he said. “It’s great to have the chance to play. That was sort of given to me. We all try to help out how we can.” Tickets to Winston’s performance are $42.39 each at http://bit.ly/2ikwsKz. A minimum $10 donation is suggested as well to assist in the renovation of the theater.

students will continue as Egan and 50 of CCA’s finest singers and dancers prepare to take the stage on Feb. 25 for a performance, which will be staged and choreographed by Egan. The students are busy rehearsing a selection of Broadway’s biggest hits, which they will perform with the Broadway star. Egan will attend rehearsal with the students, and work with them to create an experience that will broaden their educational and artistic experience, and ultimately result in a performance that will be central to the CCA Foundation’s biggest annual fundraiser. The CCA Foundation’s Executive Director, Joanne Couvrette, explained it like this, “Most schools hold their annual fundraisers off-campus, at a hotel or ballroom, adult-only affairs that are both costly and much removed from the students for whom they are fundraising. At CCA, we reject that model in favor of an event that centers on our students and our school.” Couvrette added that, “Our mission statement is to enrich the experience of every student, every day and what better way to do that than to use the gala fundraiser performance as an enrichment experience for our students.” According to gala chairs, Susan Jentzsch and Kimberly McSherry, Susan Egan has been very involved in the planning of the performance portion of Rendezvous in Paris, including selecting the music and working with the chairs to create a musical experience that will be both entertaining to the audience and educational to the students. Susan Egan will also be joining several other Broadway performers to teach a workshop to CCA Envision theater students in early February at the school. Just like Scott Flower from Dolce, the gala after-party host, CCA continues to surround its students with community leaders, merchants and artists that enrich the lives of every student, every day. This year’s CCA Gala Rendezvous in Paris – featuring Susan Egan – will be held on Feb. 25. The event begins at 5 p.m. for dinner and live auction. Show time is 7:30 p.m.; the VIP After-Party follows immediately after the show and features a meet and greet with Susan Egan, dessert and bubbles. Tickets are available at ccagala.com. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. The mission of the foundation is to enrich the experience of every student every day.

FROM EXHIBIT, B3 showed off their skills working with trained eagles in hunting and horsemanship. The festival also included such competitions as archery, camel racing and flogging, in which female riders whip their male counterparts, while both partners are on horseback, Orenich said. The striking scenes show the hunters with their raptors, and also the gorgeous backdrop of snow-streaked mountains, as well as the round tents, called gers or yurts, where the nomadic herders of Mongolia reside. Orenich’s Morocco scenes show village life, as well as classic desert scenes of rolling sand dunes. In order to find pristine landscape unmarked by footprints or jeep tracks, he engaged a guide to take him into Algeria, in a conflict zone, he said, which required a trip first by Land Rover, then by camel. He spent two days

photographing the dunes, and the results of his labors are hanging in the Turner Gallery’s display cases. Visitors can arrange to purchase any of the photographs by contacting the artist directly via email which is posted at the gallery. Orenich said his prints sell for between $350 and $900 apiece, and include custom frames and museum glass. Orenich first took up photography in the U.S. military in the 1960s, and continued to snap photos as a hobby during his career in the semi-conductor industry. Upon his retirement 13 years ago, he said, he began devoting all of his time to photography. In addition to his own photo expeditions around the globe, Orenich teaches photography. An upcoming class will be offered at a Michael’s crafts store, he said. For more information about the Turner Gallery and its exhibits, visit www.hbtgallery.com.

Preserving La Jolla: Historical Community La Jolla has been earning its reputation as “the jewel” of San Diego ever since it was incorporated into the city in 1850. Its nickname stems not only from La Jolla’s beautiful natural landscape, but also from the structures built upon it. La Jolla has a uniquely dense architectural history from historic beach cottages to Mid-Century modern homes to the striking designs of

Irving Gill. My great-grandfather, Ernie, who started his career as a carpenter in southern England, came to La Jolla in the 1920s and founded a family construction company here. My grandfather, father, and I have all continued the tradition of community involvement that Ernie began back in the 1920s. Our family built the Soledad Cross and conceived and built the Mount Soledad War Memorial. My father, George Dewhurst, planted the pine tree on the corner of Prospect and Draper on behalf of the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club, and every year GDC Construction decorates the tree for the Christmas season. So I care deeply about historical preservation in this great community. Over the last few years, it has been hard to miss the struggle over the preservation of La

Jolla’s beach cottages, which has played out in the local press. Most of these homes were built as seasonal vacation properties, which, over the years, became year-round residences. Once people took up full-time residence in the cottages, many had to be significantly renovated from their original condition. These renovations lead the San Diego Historical Resources Board, which decides which local buildings receive historical designation, to classify a cottage as being historic significant or not. If a building is 45 years old or older, it must be cleared for demolition or significant renovation by this board. Therefore, some homeowners in La Jolla face the unique responsibility of preserving the architectural history of their community. It is essential to historic preservation for the owners of older local homes to find ways to blend the old with

the new. If you own an historic property of a certain size, you may be able to open it up to the public for viewing or even for private events, which beneﬁts both the community and you. Also, you can apply for the Mills Act to receive a reduction on your property taxes for preserving your historic property. One way we can preserve our exceptional community is to develop new projects or remodels while tipping our hat to those older styles. Local architects and homeowners can maintain the charm of La Jolla by looking back to the Arts and Crafts Movement, by drawing inspiration from the Jewel’s post-Victorian beach cottages, and from studying the MidCentury modern styles. The trick is to give those styles a contemporary slant and to maintain comfort and convenience as well as aesthetics.
