Filing period for special districts is ending soon BY JOE TASH Seats on the boards of three “special districts” that provide such services as drinking water, sewage treatment and fire protection could be included on the November election ballot. However, unless additional candidates file to run for the seats before the filing deadline, the decision on who will fill the seats will not be made by voters, but instead by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. The three agencies are the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Services District and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. The filing deadline for this fall’s election – meaning the date when candidates must submit paperwork to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters office – is Aug. 12. However, for any seat in which an incumbent does not file papers, the deadline is automatically extended five days, to Aug. 17. The three agencies are among about 70 special districts in San Diego County, which provide a variety of services to residents. Information about filing to run for any of the open seats can be found at the Registrar’s web site, www.sdvote.com. The Santa Fe Irrigation District provides drinking water to residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Rancho and Solana Beach. The district is overseen by a five-member board of directors elected by residents of five divisions. This fall, two seats are up for election: Division 1, covering Rancho Santa Fe, currently held by Greg Gruzdowich, and Division 2, in Solana Beach, held by Alan Smerican. Gruzdowich has opted not to seek another four-year term. As of Monday, Aug. 1, only one candidate, Ken Dunford, a former irrigation district board member, has filed to run for the seat. Gruzdowich beat Dunford, a businessman and 10-year veteran of the irrigation district board, in the 2012 election. In Division 2, Robert Feher, a real estate broker, has filed to run, while Smerican said he has not decided yet whether he will seek another four-year term. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District provides services for a 38-square-mile territory that runs as far east as 4S Ranch, and includes Rancho Santa Fe and a number of surrounding communities, which together have a population of 29,000 residents. Three seats on the district’s five-member board are up for SEE SEATS, A24
CLUB FILLS BACKPACKS FOR CAMP PENDLETON FAMILIES RSF Rotary Club members met July 27 at the RSF Golf Club to fill backpacks with school supplies for special needs children from military families at Camp Pendleton.

LIBRARY CELEBRATES A SUMMER OF READING
The Rancho Santa Fe Children’s Library’s summer reading program was capped off with an ice cream social at the RSF Community Center on Friday, July 29. Children enjoyed ice cream floats, carnival games, a raffle and jump roping with the Coronado Speed Spinners. Children’s Library volunteer Nora Kasier said that 440 kids participated in the summer reading program and children read over 3,000 books. Teen readers logged over 880 hours.

City awards new polo fields lease to Surf Club Sports BY KAREN BILLING Kids in soccer jerseys filled the San Diego City Council chambers July 25 as the council approved a new 28-year lease for Surf Cup Sports on the polo field property. The vote was 8-1 with Council President Sherri Lightner voting against it. The city will collect $240,000 annually in rent from Surf Cup in
addition to a 10 percent assessment on events. Each year Surf Cup brings $139 million into the city with its events and books 85,000 hotel rooms, second only to Comic-Con. Besides the economic benefit to the city, several soccer players and fans spoke to City Council about how important the fields are to kids’ growth on and off the field.
Surf players such as Luis Hernandez talked about how soccer had changed his life. The club’s outreach program for disadvantaged youth gave him hope and expanded his opportunities — he was scouted by coaches at a Surf tournament and is the first in his family to go to college – on a soccer scholarship –which will allow him to study
economics and math. “I learned to be a more confident soccer player and less shy with my teammates,” said 8-year-old Ava Harrison. Her twin sister, Mia, said that playing soccer helps her stay healthy and teaches her “It’s OK not to always win.” Surf Cup also received an SEE POLO, A24

Salk Institute women scientists talk progress, share research results BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN On Wednesday, July 20 the Salk Institute celebrated a “Women & Science” event with the presentation “Nutritional Genomics: Health and Well-being” where three postdoctoral female scientists shared their latest discoveries in the field of human health and well-being. Congressmember Scott Peters introduced the speakers by sharing on the misrepresentation of women in science and the urge to push students towards the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. “We need to encourage our young scientists to pursue careers in science. Supporting young females in science is a worthy investment,” he said, adding that he co-sponsored the STEM Act, a law passed in 2015 that strengthens education efforts in those areas and expands the definition of STEM to include computer science. The first postdoctoral student to present was Amadine Chaix. She’s researching how time-restricted feedings could affect “metabolic fitness” at the Satchidananda Panda Lab. Chaix uses mice as models to study human diseases like diabetes. She theorizes that weight gain or loss is not only dependent on the equation between fat intake and exercise, but it’s also determined by the time patterns of food intake. Her experiment consists of measuring weight and the prevalence of diabetes — high levels of sugar in blood — in mice that have access to food 24 hours a day versus those whose food intake is limited to daytime hours. Her results so far show that the mice who only eat during the day are leaner and have decreased risk of

diabetes compared to those who eat at all hours. Her research also shows that modifying those behaviors, chiefly by not allowing the free-eating mice access to food after 8 p.m., the mice that are heavier and more prone to diabetes saw an improvement in body weight and health. “For the animals who had free access to food, a change to time-restricted feeding lowered body weight,” Chaix explained. Next was Maryam Ahmadian, who studies the recent discovery of what is known as “brown fat” and how it affects human weight. “We know obesity is becoming more of a health problem (along with) all the medical complications attached to it, like heart problems and diabetes. … Some people eat really well, exercise and don’t lose any weight,” she explained.
assistant professor Janelle Ayres’s Lab looking into how infectious bacteria promotes health. “You must imagine that these microbes are interested in having us healthy in order to sustain themselves,” she said, implying that the most successful infectious bacteria are those who make us sick but don’t kill us. Rao’s experiment involved infecting mice with two different salmonella virus, the common one and a mutation. She elaborated, “I’m interested in sickness behaviors. Disruptions in sleep, social withdrawal, reductions in grooming, anorexia … (Only) the animals infected with the mutant salmonella stopped eating and died, (therefore) we identified a salmonella bacteria gene that impacts our behavior.” The potential outcomes of her study include preventing or stopping anorexia and control appetite to stop obesity.
“Brown fat adapts to changes in temperature and activates in cold temperature,” she said, implying that brown fat mobilizes when exposed to low temperatures as a mechanism to warm up the body, contrary to white fat, which makes up the vast majority of the fat in the human body and responds to other metabolic factors. She was looking for answers to the question, “How can we target brown fat?” when she found a nuclear receptor that affects it, Estrogen Related Receptor (ERR). Ahmadian explained, “Mice without ERR couldn’t heat themselves up in cold situations. Brown fat can’t be activated without Err. Now I’m looking at compounds that can activate ERR and how we can use them to combat obesity.” Last was Sheila Rao, a postdoctoral student for

‘Creativity Unzipped’ explores power of original thoughts RSF’s Ruth Westreich co-authors book with Jan Phillips BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Ruth Westreich has paired up author Jan Phillips on a new book, “Creativity Unzipped: Why Your Thoughts Matter,” hoping to help readers find their voice and express it – and to realize that creative and artistic are not the same thing. “Creativity, the way we define it, has more to do with how we create our lives, how we use the tools of imagination and intention to shape the lives we inhabit,” wrote Phillips. “Creativity is not something you do and hang on a wall,” Westreich said. “It’s who you are and how you show up and how you live your life.” Westreich and Phillips have been good friends for 20 years and together they have collaborated on three books, including “The Art of Original Thinking” and a photography and poetry book, “Finding Ourselves on Sacred Ground.” “Jan is one of my favorite authors, I love the way she writes,” Westreich said. Westreich has wanted to do this book for a long time, noting she can’t count how many times she’s heard people say, “I’m not creative. I don’t have a creative bone in my body.” She wanted to do a book that explores the myths about creativity, discover

There are chapters on mindfulness practice
and creating time for solitude or time for creative projects that are fun, life-affirming or mood-altering. “We have a funny relationship with time. We treasure it, like we treasure money, yet we hesitate to spend it on ourselves,” wrote Phillips, stressing the importance of a balanced life. “You are worth the time.” There is a chapter on why business needs creativity and original thinkers to succeed, creativity in healing as well as an inspiring chapter on conscious creativity as activism.

Although the book has been only out for two weeks, Westreich said she’s already heard from people who have found the book to be very cathartic, particularly those people who were in some way discouraged from creative expression. As Phillips wrote in the book, everyone has the capacity to think originally and act creatively. To help stoke daily creativity and contemplation, Westreich also created a card deck as a companion to the book. Each of the 50 cards in the deck has an image of Westreich’s artwork and a thought of the day. Creativity and art has long been an important part of Westreich’s life — she has been painting since she was 7 years old and over the years has tried in her hand in nearly every kind of medium. On display in her spacious home art studio is everything from the china she used to delicately hand-paint to the sparkling jewelry she designed. In addition to her personal work in the studio, she holds monthly painting sessions with friends and does art with her grandchildren, teaching them about artists such as Georgia O’ Keefe and styles like impressionism and post-modernism. Her latest work, an abstract series with a lot of interesting color and movement, will be part of a showing at T Short Galleries on Columbia Street in San Diego. The show opening will be on Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. and will serve as a fundraiser for the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma. SEE BOOK, A26

Locals gain insight as Bank of America Student Leaders Students earned paid internship, traveled to Washington D.C. for leadership summit
BY KAREN BILLING Local students Richard Ni and Snigdha Nandipati were selected as two of five students in San Diego to become Bank of America Student Leaders. The program offered students an opportunity to build workforce and leadership skills through a paid summer internship at Community HousingWorks. As part of the eight-week internship program, the San Snigdha Diego students also traveled Nandipati to participate in a Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. in July along with more than 200 other “Student Leaders” from around the country. At the summit, the students heard from guest speakers and discussed how Richard Ni to build a more diverse and inclusive society. Snigdha, a Torrey Highlands resident, is a 2016 graduate of Francis Parker High School who will attend Yale University in the fall. In high school she was on the Academic League Team for four years, serving as team captain for the last two years. She served as a mentor to sixth graders through Francis Parker’s mentorship program and also ran her own business teaching piano lessons to young, beginner students.
Although she was too humble to list it as one of her achievements, Snidgha was also the winner of the 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee. About two weeks after graduation, Snigdha started her internship at HousingWorks, putting in nine-hour workdays at the central office in Mission Valley. Snigdha worked on the Acheivers program, offered in several of HousingWorks’ affordable rental communities across San Diego County. The program provides teens with an opportunity for youth leadership development, giving them hands-on training for college and beyond. Snigdha helped put together the program that will be launched at the 17 individual learning centers in the next couple of weeks. Richard, a rising senior at Torrey Pines High School, was one of the only Student Leaders that is still in high school as most were recent graduates. “I was really interested in the Bank of America program because it’s based around social change and that’s something I’ve always been really interested in,” Richard said. “I’m really passionate about serving my community.” Richard’s main community service is the Student Association for Youth Artists (SAYA), a group he started when he was a sophomore. The program teaches music for free to students at the Carmel Valley Library and the North University Community

He is the captain of the debate team and is also on the varsity swim team. His internship at HousingWorks was in the Homework Help program — he helped redesign the after- school program so it can run as efficiently as possible. “I think my main contribution was finding a way to incentivize kids to be on their best behavior in the after-school program,” Richard said. He came up with a template for a punch card system — if kids can rack up 10 hole punches for their good behavior they can earn a prize. He also helped develop a computer use policy about what kids can do if they finish homework early. For both Snigdha and Richard, the most powerful influence at the Student Leadership Summit in DC was the guest speaker, Wes Moore. As part of the program, students were required to read his book, “The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates,” which shares the stories of two kids with the same name but very different fates. Both Moores grew up fatherless in a difficult Baltimore neighborhood but their lives turned out differently due to the decisions and choices made — one Moore grew up to be a Rhodes Scholar, a decorated veteran and business leader, while the other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life’s sentence. “It was really inspiring because despite having a poor background, he built himself SEE INTERNS, A26

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 4, 2016 - PAGE A7
Local doctor provides care to rural Haitian communities BY KRISTINA HOUCK Dr. David Monahan might practice medicine in San Diego, but for years he has provided care for people around the world. The Del Mar resident spent a week this past spring providing medical care to rural Haitian communities. “This trip to Haiti was just amazing,” Monahan said. “Physically and mentally, it was tough. Things were so difficult. But it was amazing.” It was a last-minute trip. While volunteering at the St. James and St. Leo medical clinic in Solana Beach one day, Monahan learned about the opportunity to join the Community Health Initiative (CHI) on a trip to Haiti. Founded by two doctors in January 2012, CHI is a not-for-profit, health and human service organization that sends teams of medical and non-medical providers and volunteers to the same Haitian villages several times each year to provide continuous primary healthcare for people. “I got the last spot,” Monahan said. After first flying to Miami International Airport to meet the group, Monahan and the other volunteers traveled to Haiti during the third week of March. The team of 28 volunteers, which

Dr. David Monahan in Haiti. included five doctors, were transported each day via “tap-taps,” pickup trucks with wooden roofs and benches, to the village of Do Digue. In the middle of the week, the volunteers also visited Fondol, which included a two-hour hike up a mountain to get to the village. The group expected to see about 1,200 patients in five days. Instead, they examined and treated 1,450 people. In just five days, Monahan saw 175 patients. The group treated many patients

for hypertension, which Monahan said impacts about 40 percent of the population. They also treated people for fevers, pneumonia and sore throats, as well as ringworm, scabies and other skin conditions. In one case, Monahan recalled seeing a 15-year-old boy with a 102-degree fever. He had been suffering from a high fever and a headache for two weeks. “His eyes were red,” Monahan remembered. He soon discovered the boy had
the Zika virus. He treated the boy with the steroid prednisone on a Tuesday. By that Thursday, the teen was better. “This was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had and the best,” Monahan remembered telling his wife, Sally, when he returned home. “It was so brutally hard. It was rapid fire for the whole week.” Although days were long and the weather was hot and humid, Monahan has already signed up to volunteer again with CHI next March, and next time he’s taking his wife along on the adventure. “You’re out of your comfort zone, you’re exhausted, and the next day you get up and do it all again,” said Monahan, who would swim in the ocean every evening to cool down. “But I liked it. It’s good for your soul and expanding your professional
horizons.” Monahan, who co-owns Amigo Medical Group and also practices medicine at Scripps Mercy Chula Vista and Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, has provided free medical care to people in the Brazilian Amazon since the late 1970s. A Del Mar resident since 1973, Monahan has often volunteered with Care and Development Organization, a non-government, nonprofit organization in Nepal that provides medical care, training and other services. Since 2010, he and his wife have also held free medical camps in Nepal, in support of Chhahari, a nonprofit helping at-risk and orphaned children. The couple worked in Nepal in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and plan to return in 2017. For more about CHI, visit chihaiti.org.

RANCHO SANTA FE REVIEW - AUGUST 4, 2016 - PAGE A9
Local residents to participate in annual lung cancer walk BY KRISTINA HOUCK Marlene Nadler-Moodie was given only three months to live when she was first diagnosed with lung cancer. Four years later, the local resident is participating in the seventh annual San Diego Free to Breathe Run/Walk on Aug. 7 at Embarcadero Marina Park North. “Nothing’s going to stop me,” Nadler-Moodie said. After dealing with a dry cough for several weeks, Nadler-Moodie finally made a doctor’s appointment. It was a busy time. In addition to her travels, in 2012, she was working as a full-time clinical nurse specialist in psychiatry at Scripps Health. She was also serving as president of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association. “It didn’t really bother me at all,” said Nadler-Moodie, who has lived in San Diego since 1983 and Carmel Valley since 1990. “I kind of assumed it was from travel.” Otherwise healthy, Nadler-Moodie’s physician gave her the green light, but also ordered a chest X-ray. The X-ray led to a CAT scan, bronchoscopy and appointments with specialists within the next several days. She was eventually diagnosed with inoperable stage-three lung cancer. “That was kind of ‘Wow,’” she said. “One day you’re that and the next day you’re something else.” With the surgery too risky, Nadler-Moodie underwent chemotherapy and radiation, eventually losing her hair. The hardest part,
however, was telling her two adult sons about her diagnosis. “My philosophy was I’m going to live every day; I’m not going to die every day,” said Nadler-Moodie, noting that she and her husband have traveled out of the country at least 16 times over the past four years. The cancer eventually spread to both lungs, changing her diagnosis to stage-four lung cancer. Open and willing to try new treatments, Nadler-Moodie tried targeted radiation, the drug Tarceva and an immunotherapy drug called Opdivo. In recent months, she has had two new treatments through a clinical trial with a lung cancer specialist at UC San Diego. She will have another treatment and scan just prior to participating in the Free to Breathe Run/Walk. “I hope I’ll be thinking good thoughts,” Nadler-Moodie said. While researching lung cancer online, Nadler-Moodie learned about Free to Breathe, a nonprofit that serves as a partnership of lung cancer survivors, advocates, researchers, healthcare professionals and industry leaders dedicated to doubling lung cancer survival by 2022. This is the fourth year her team, Marlene’s Wish, is participating in the event, which features a 5K run/walk, one-mile walk and quarter-mile kids’ dash. A total of 415 people participated in the event last year, raising $40,900. This year organizers anticipate about 500 participants and hope to raise $50,000. “We’re doing something good for lung cancer,” Nadler-Moodie said.

Marlene Nadler-Moodie at a past Free to Breathe event. More people in the United States die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 212,584 people in the U.S. were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013, and 156,176 people died from lung cancer. Longtime nurse and Solana Beach resident Terri Wyatt has worked closely with lung cancer patients over the years. She encourages early screening to help with lung cancer survival. Recent guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology suggest annual screening with low-dose computed tomography for smokers and former smokers at high risk for developing lung cancer.
High-risk factors include being between the age of 55 to 74, having smoked for 30 years or more, and either continuing to smoke or having quit within the past 15 years. “By the time somebody has symptoms, they’re usually stage four,” said Wyatt, who has worked as a nurse at Sharp Memorial Hospital in Kearny Mesa since 1984. “It stays hidden for a long time. That’s the thing that makes lung cancer so difficult and why it’s one of the leading causes of cancer death.” With a team from Sharp, Wyatt is participating in the Free to Breathe Run/Walk for the second year. “Just because you have lung cancer, it’s not necessarily a death sentence. I think that’s an important part of participating in these walks, plus raising money for more awareness and research,” said Wyatt, who has had an uncle and a friend die from lung cancer. “You just never know when you might be touched by lung cancer.” The San Diego Free to Breathe Run/Walk begins at 7:45 a.m. Aug. 7 at Embarcadero Marina Park North, located at 400 Kettner Boulevard in San Diego. Special recognition will be given to top finishers and fundraisers. All proceeds will support Free to Breathe. The lung cancer research and advocacy organization has raised more than $14 million to support research and educational programs since 2005. This year, the organization will be funding two new lung cancer research grants totaling over $1.2 million dollars.

Stellar Wind (left) beat race favorite three-time champion Beholder (right) by a half-length.
Stellar Wind outduels Beholder to win Clement L. Hirsch Stakes It was a battle of the champions on Saturday, July 30, at Del Mar, as Stellar Wind outdueled Beholder to win the Grade I, $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes by a half-length. Divina Comedia was a distant third, nearly 10 lengths behind Beholder. Stellar Wind, last year’s 3-year-old filly Eclipse Award winner, completed the 1 1/6 miles on the dirt in 1:41.24, with jockey Victor Espinoza aboard. She is trained by John Sadler and owned by Hronis Racing LLC. It was the first loss in more than two years for three-time champion Beholder, who was the race favorite. “It was a good race for my horse,” said her
trainer, Richard Mandella. “That other mare ran a helluva race.” Before the Hirsch, it was announced that Beholder would likely defend her title in the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 20, and face California Chrome. However, on Sunday, Mandella said, “I’m not saying no, but now it’s something I’m going to have to think about and see how she is.” A decision may come late next week. Meanwhile, other major winners at Del Mar this past week included Lord Nelson (Grade I, $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes), Gold Rush Dancer ($150,000 Real Good Deal Stakes) and You’re Late ($100,000 C.T.B.A. Stakes).

Torrey Pines High School student travels to Jamaica to Solar Panel teach and coach volleyball Installation
Rita “Ellie” Auerbach spent a week in Kingston, Jamaica this summer working with underprivileged athletes. She spent most of her time teaching and coaching volleyball to local athletes, but she also participated in soccer and lacrosse activities. “It was a great learning experience,” said Ellie. “The warmth and excitement of the people I met was infectious. I was so happy to share my love of volleyball. I had never been to Jamaica, so the entire experience was wonderful.” Ellie, who will be a junior at Torrey Pines High School, collected used sporting goods before the trip, including athletic shoes and balls from her fellow players at the Wave Volleyball Club. Marie Zidek, University of San Diego women’s volleyball assistant coach, donated a full box of new volleyballs. “It was great seeing the USD logo bouncing on the courts in Kingston,” observed Ellie. “These players don’t often see new equipment.” Ellie participated in the program created by Kevin Dugan, the founder of Fields of Growth – Athlete Volunteer Corps (AVC). Dugan, a Notre Dame graduate, formed AVC to expose student-athletes and coaches to the beauty, challenges and
potential in the developing world. “Through selected readings, experiential learning, guided reflections and active service, AVC helps its participants grow and learn as they share their talents,” stated Dugan. Some of the local athletes traveled over an hour each way by bus to be part of the program. “The local players ranged in age from 14 to 20 years old. I certainly learned a lot about coaching and a lot about Jamaica. I have even more respect for my coaches here in San Diego!” said Ellie. The AVC participants stayed at St. George’s Jesuit College, where the musical Marley family attended school. The participants had time for guided excursions in the area, which further broadened their perspective. “Kingston is not the usual stop for tourists in Jamaica, so we had an experience that was quite unique,” reflected Ellie. “I hope to return next year.” Ellie will be organizing further used equipment collections to ship to the athletes she met in Jamaica. For more information about AVC, visit http://fieldsofgrowthintl.org For more information about donating used athletic equipment, visit athletevolcorps@gmail.com.

2016 Clambake Men’s Invitational Golf Tournament
T
he 2016 Clambake Men’s Invitational Golf Tournament was held at the RSF Golf Club July 28-30. The event is a three-day Member/Guest tournament scheduled to coincide with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Racing program. The RSF Golf Club was the site of the first six Bing Crosby Pro-Am Tournaments, played from 1937-1942. Since he invited a select group of golf professionals and friends from Hollywood to play the RSF golf course, Crosby called the tournament a “clambake,” according to an invitation letter sent to event participants. Photos on this page were taken at the July 28 welcome party and clambake. Online: www.rsfreview.com.

The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) recently announced that four-member Team USA was awarded three gold medals and one silver medal at the 27th International Biology Olympiad (IBO) held in Hanoi, Vietnam. This worldwide competition involved students from 71 countries. Team USA 2016 silver medalist Varkey Alumootil, of Canyon Crest Academy, was among the event medalists. “Team USA honored the United States at the International Biology Olympiad with receipt of three gold medals and one silver medal” said Joann DiGennaro, president of CEE. “Peter, Bowen, Thomas, and Varkey garnered world recognition with their academic excellence. They are exceptional academic scholars that are headed for outstanding careers in science.” Nearly 10,500 U.S. students from across the U.S. registered for the highly competitive USABO. Twenty finalists from 10 states were selected to compete at the USABO Finals at Marymount University for their scores from the open and semifinal exams. Finalists also participated in lectures, study sessions and laboratory exercises led by biology experts in fields that include cellular and molecular biology, plant anatomy and physiology, animal anatomy and physiology, genetics
and evolution, ecology, ethology, and biosystematics. This marks the first year Marymount University has hosted the finals with CEE. The mission of the USABO is to encourage excellence in biology education throughout the United States and to challenge students and their teachers to reach the gold standard in biology. Alumni of the USABO have earned MacMillan Grants, Goldwater Scholarships, Hollings Scholarships (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), American Heart Association Undergraduate Fellowships, National Science Foundation Fellowships, The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, the Linen Prize in Chinese, and the Clara Levillain Prize. They have also received accolades as Marshall Scholars and Churchill Scholars. The Center for Excellence in Education was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center’s mission is to nurture high school and university scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and to encourage collaboration between and among leaders in the global community.

A polarized nation
I
’ve been on Facebook for the past few years, but I’m one of those people who love to scroll around to see the adorable animal videos (the one with the bulldog that rolls down the hill over and over again is a personal favorite). I also love to see pictures of kids growing up and reaching milestones, vacations and all the funny quotes. In other words, I go to Facebook for entertainment. I do not, however, go there to read political views and their negativity. And lately, that’s all I see. I don’t know what’s going on in the world today. We have become so polarized about everything that it’s making people behave incredibly uncivil towards each other. I guess it started to really bother me around the time the gorilla, Harambe, was in the enclosure with the toddler at the Cincinnati Zoo, after the boy climbed in. There was so much rage towards the boy’s mother for “not keeping an eye on her child” that it was almost as if people wanted her kid to die in there to teach her a lesson. Of course it was tragic that Harambe had to die, but which would you rather have, a dead child or a dead gorilla?
On the heels of that atrocious situation, came little Lane Graves, the 2-year-old who was drowned by an alligator near a Disney World resort. It was 9:30 p.m. and he was dipping his toes in the water, something you do on vacation, when he was dragged into a lagoon by an alligator. I can’t begin to fathom what his parents went through during that horrific ordeal. And rather than an immediate outpouring of support, which I fully expected, this family was shamed for letting their 2-year-old out that late. What the hell is wrong with people? When my son was 10 years old, he went to the Super Bowl with my husband and was out walking Bourbon Street at midnight. That’s what you do on vacation. I just unfriended a friend on Facebook because every time he posts something, his friends leave the most ignorant responses I’ve ever seen. After months of getting pissed off about it, I finally decided to drop him. The funny thing is, this last post wasn’t even that outrageous. He posted about Pokeman Go, and said that he didn’t know much about it, nor did he care to. I left a comment saying, “ I freaking love it
cost, and requires a delicate dance to provide for the present without sacrificing our future. Trustees Salazar and Muir have shown the ability to best balance doing what’s right for our children while keeping an eye on fiscal responsibility. But don’t take my word for it. And don’t take the word of three or four people who happen to be holding signs outside a board meeting. Listen and see for yourselves. If you plan on voting, I encourage you to attend a board meeting so you can make a truly informed decision. Respectfully, Rajy Abulhosn, Carmel Valley because it’s getting kids off of their butts and outside with groups of friends.” Before I knew it, his FB friends were telling me that it’s all fun and games until my kid dies, blah blah blah. That’s when I decided that I’m done. I mean, really? I’m so sick of reading the negativity and refuse to let that impact my day. And how many articles are we going to read about fat shaming? Playboy Playmate Dani Mathers thought it was OK to take a picture of a naked stranger at her gym and post it on her Snapchat account. She collaged the picture along with a picture of herself, trying to contain her laughter/disgust and says, *“If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.” *TMZ. How could anyone be so cruel? She tried to apologize in several ridiculous tweets saying that it was an accident. She said that she meant that for a friend and was new to Snapchat so she didn’t realize it would go viral. So let me get this straight, she thinks it’s OK to photograph a naked, vulnerable woman, shame her, and then send that to one person and that makes it OK? This is how creepy our society has become. Where does it end? How about this Dani – don’t be a jerk. I’m not suggesting that we all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, but this level of disrespect, negativity and invasion of privacy has gone way too far. I’m not sure how we got to this point of polarization in our society, but whatever it takes, it needs to end so we can come together at the end of the day and be civil once again. What say you?

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON
Beyond the Comic-Con spectacle
B
ehind the craziness of Comic-Con is a hidden world of education panels that offers tips and insights into trends in teaching tools, strategies for improved classroom learning, and support for victims of bullying. The panel titled “Capturing the Imagination of Middle-Grade Readers” featured panelists who discussed ways to inspire even the most reluctant readers. Middle-grade readers were defined by panelists as children ages 8 to 12. “Women in Science,” authored and beautifully illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky, “highlights the contributions of fifty notable women to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from the ancient to the modern world.” Inspired by history and science, Ignotofsky said she grew up on a “healthy diet of cartoons and pudding” and was herself a reluctant reader as a child. But cartoons “got me past that hump,” she said. Driven by her passion to take dense information and make it accessible to young readers, she said it’s important for students to see strong female role models who have made significant accomplishments in all scientific fields. Other panelists included Shannon Messenger, author of the middle-grade series “Keeper of the Lost Cities” and the “Sky Fall” series for young adults. Cece Bell is the author of the autobiographical “El Deafo,” a graphic novel about a young girl who loses her hearing and is alienated by her peers. Coping with depression and frustration, she begins to view her hearing aid as a superpower. “Kids respond to honest writing,” said Bell, who believes authors can pull young readers into books with characters with whom they can empathize. Because the middle-grade years can be rife with self-doubt and feelings of alienation, many children can identify with characters who struggle with differences of all kinds, she said. Panelist Tania del Rio is a cartoonist who specializes in manga and has a number of books, comics and credits to her name, including the graphic novel “Diary of a Girl Next Door: Betty,” published by Archie Comics. Tahereh Mafi, author of the “Shatter Me” series of books for young adults, has released a new book for middle-grade readers titled
“Furthermore,” about “a colorless girl living in a colorful world,” as Mafi described it. The sixth panelist, Ned Rust, is the author of numerous children’s books, the latest of which – “Patrick Griffin’s Last Breakfast on Earth” – tells the story of “an average kid ending up in an alternate world,” said Rust. It’s full of humor, he said, but “there’s some dark stuff in there.” All agreed with the moderator who said that children with a good imagination are more likely to grow up well-adjusted. An odd mix The three “Historical Comics” panelists presented wildly varied graphic novel subjects. From a biography of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer (by John “Derf” Backderf), to history-inspired comics author Kate Beaton (“Hark! A Vagrant” comic strips), to Chester Brown’s Bible-themed graphic novels (“Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus”), all three panelists were at once controversial, hilarious, serious, charming and endearingly weird. It was an odd mix, to be sure. Beaton said the medium of comics for learning is “an amazing weapon to wield,” calling her books “historically-based humor.” She said she tries to find little-known facts in history and identify what’s funny or quirky. Labeling his books “informed historical fiction,” Backderf described a diverse career that included being a cartoonist, a garbage man (a disgusting job, he said, that often involved exploding diapers and cans full of maggots), and a journalist (which he said used to be a real job). “We live in a post-factual world,” he joked. As a high school classmate of Dahmer’s, Backderf decided to write in graphic novel form a biography of Dahmer, a project that began in 1994 after the serial killer was murdered in prison. Because he couldn’t find a publisher for the book, he self-published a shortened version. The book took off and is now in its 16th printing. Brown said his books present “another wacky interpretation” of the Bible and posited that Jesus “had a very positive take on prostitution,” which he said is one of the main points of his most recent book. The times were patriarchal, and it was very difficult for unmarried women, Brown said, noting that prostitution was one of the few

As Building Commissioner Robert Green explained, the bonus of FAR is allowed up to a certain amount (0.75) if the project meets three of four bonus criteria: The building must be Spanish-colonial Lilian Rice-style design, a total of not less than 10 percent of the site area must be used as courtyards, no portion can
ways women could earn money. One audience member asked Beaton and Brown, both Canadians, how their culture may affect their work in unique ways. “One difference is that we are familiar with the history of the United States …,” Brown began. “Whereas we are not,” interrupted Backderf, offering the American view. “I was going to say that Americans are not as familiar with Canadian history,” Brown laughed. Although Backderf was joking, the sad truth is that, for many children, he may be right. Comics as high-brow literature The “Teaching Humanities through Comics” panel featured three college professors whose courses study the evolution and influence of comics and graphic novels on society and how the themes reflect society’s changing values. Adam Golub, associate professor of American Studies at Cal State Fullerton, talked about his course, “Teaching Comics as Literature.” In the class, he discusses the benefits of using comics in the classroom and how comics have eventually come to be seen as high-brow. Using the award-winning graphic novel “Watchmen,” which is set in a 1980s alternate reality where Richard Nixon remains president and superheroes are outlawed, students were challenged to review the book in the context of the broader history and culture of the times. “Watchmen,” published in 1986 and 1987, won a Hugo Award in 1988 and is considered a serious work of literature, Golub said. Michelle Lewis, associate professor of history at Los Angeles Valley College, discussed her use of the graphic novel “Mendoza the Jew” in her classes. The book, she said, was created by a historian and portrays a real-life boxer named Daniel Mendoza who rose to fame in Britain in 1789 as a world champion and boxing celebrity at a time when boxing was becoming immensely popular. Boxing, Lewis said, was seen “as a more civilized way to solve problems.” This was during the expansion of the British Empire, so Mendoza’s name became famous throughout the colonies as well as in Great Britain. Showing history through the eyes of real people can be very effective in connecting students with history in ways dry textbooks can’t, she said. The book discusses issues of assimilation, religious freedom and tolerance, ethnic and religious identity, nationalism and notions of masculinity. Lewis said the book increased student interest in historical events of that particular period of time and taught students how to be historians.
exceed one story and at least 25 percent of the ground floor area must be retail use. •The Gateway project exceeds the allowable building bulk by about 5,000 sq ft (approximately the size of the market) so a variance will be necessary. However, the project appears to meet the required three of the four bonus criteria because it has complimentary Spanish-colonial style, it is providing 13 percent of the project as courtyards and
“Overwhelmingly, they said it sparked an interest in history,” she said. Deanna Heikkinen, assistant professor of humanities at Los Angeles Valley College, teaches a course titled “Twentieth Century America through Comics.” The course objectives are to define comics, identify what it means to be a superhero, examine 20th-century America by decade, and learn how comics change over time. Heikkinen said the point of studying comics is to appreciate the art form, understand the historical significance, and learn to appreciate the potential of the medium. She asks students to consider if cave art or Egyptian hieroglyphics were early comics. In a discussion of what makes a superhero, Heikkinen said superheroes have evolved in the 20th century. Captain America during World War II was a huge success. But in the 1950s when life was relatively good, there were fewer superheroes. Superheroes in comics came back strong in the 1960s during the decade of intense social upheaval. In the 1980s, satire took over, she said. In later decades, comics and comic book characters were impacted by the two gulf wars, 9/11, political correctness and politics. The post-modern world offered more diversity but also took a dark turn, Heikkinen said. Superheroes, she said, tend to be prevalent during war years. She said DC Comics tends to create superheroes who are god-like beings living in imaginary places, while Marvel Comics prefers to present real-world monsters. Heikkinen said she “will work to incorporate [comics and graphic novels] more fully into the curriculum.” How to read a graphic novel All three professors said they had to help students learn how to read a graphic novel effectively, because for most it was an unfamiliar medium. Golub said many students reported feeling disoriented reading graphic novels as literature. Combining the words and pictures was found to be challenging. “It’s disruptive in a good way,” Golub said. “It challenges assumptions of what is worthy of serious study and challenges bias of low-brow versus high-brow.” Heikkinen said she has to teach students how to “get their minds to adjust to combining the words and pictures.” Lewis said many of her students found the format disorienting, and at first thought the graphic novel would be used as a supplemental textbook. All three speakers said the majority of their students said they had not read comics or graphic novels and thought the class would SEE SUTTON, A24

FROM SUTTON, A23 be easy, not realizing this was serious study. Also, many students reported at first feeling embarrassed that they were reading comic books for a college course, a feeling that quickly dissipated as the courses progressed. Real life superhero Those lucky enough to attend the panel featuring real-life superhero U.S. Representative John Lewis saw and heard a living legend. Lewis spoke about the campaign for the Voting Rights Act in the 1960s and introduced the third and final book in his graphic novel series, “March.” A panel on banned books implored schools and communities not to reject books that challenge traditional roles and beliefs. Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel “Persepolis” – an autobiographical story about a girl from a secular family growing up in Iran during and after the Iranian revolution – enjoyed wide acclaim when it was released in 2003. Then, in 2013, the book was banned by Chicago Public Schools and remains banned today for all CPS classrooms below grade 8. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF.org) fights to oppose book banning and protect the First Amendment rights of “readers, creators, retailers, publishers and librarians of comics, manga, and graphic FROM POLO, A1 endorsement from John Lynch, the former NFL player and Super Bowl champion ,whose daughters now play for Surf. “I’m a believer in sports and what they do for our youth. When I go down to the polo fields what I see is nothing but positive stuff,” Lynch said. No one was arguing with the value of soccer but neighbors have taken issue with what they believe is an intensification of use on the property, frustrations with the amount of traffic and noise brought on by Surf Cup. According to city staff, the largest use of the property is the second weekend of the summer Surf Cup tournament, with 8,000 people and 2,200 cars. Soccer practice is held Monday through Thursday and the highest number of children is 330 a day, broken up into two 90-minute sessions of 150 people. However, the rest of the time, 82 percent of the daytime, the field is empty. Council President Lightner said she has received complaints about

Many panels for kids and education were located off-site from the Convention Center, making it difficult to attend. Some of these at the San Diego Central Library included: • “Comics Are Literacy Too” (aiding adult literacy and English learners) • “Censorship of Kids’ Comics” • “Trends in Kids’ Graphic Novels”

besides seeing the occasional TV or movie star and immersing oneself on the exhibit floor in a chaotic assault on the senses (how do all those babies and toddlers cope?).

the property since she took office in 2008. “Surf Cup’s passion and investment in our youth is undeniable. Youth sports are very important in San Diego and we need to make sure our children have a safe and convenient place to practice and play, but we are also responsible for insuring that it is in an appropriate location,” Lightner said. “Per the original grant deed it was clear to me that this land was intended to be open space…I believe neither polo’s use in the past nor Surf’s proposed future use is appropriate. “If it was up to me the city would dedicate the polo fields as open space, something we did try to do in 2012, given how limited and precious a commodity open space is in San Diego.” Over the years, a major point of contention has been whether the current use is allowed in the grant deed. Surf Cup is confident in its analysis that its proposed use is allowed and it has been used historically in that way since 1992. The deed was clarified during the lease process to allow for 25 events a year rather than 25 event
days. This has been a big concern for neighbors but Surf Cup has stated that it has never approached the level of 25 events a year — there were eight events in 2015. Jim Madaffer, representing Surf Cup, said the number of events is governed by the health of the grass — it wouldn’t make sense to tax that resource. While many neighbors believe that the use has grown in recent years, he maintained that the size of the club and the use of the field has remained consistent over the years. Attorney Maria Severson, representing several of the surrounding homeowners, argued that per the grant deed the use was meant to be restricted to passive, non-commercial recreational uses not involving large assemblages of people. “Kids doing somersaults, not a mega sports complex,” Severson said. She said Surf Cup makes the area look like a “Walmart parking lot” with the number of cars and that the amount of noise, dust and traffic generated is excessive.
Severson played a video to illustrate the sound of whistles and cheers that neighbors hear during soccer activity. “Fairbanks Ranch Polo Club homeowners bought their homes with the understanding they would have quiet enjoyment of the property…Soccer is great, they support soccer. What they don’t support is a mega complex in their backyard,” Severson said. “They did not buy right next to Qualcomm and that’s what this is turned into with these types of assemblages of people.” Leslie Gaunt, representing the Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley, said they have concerns about the significant impacts of having this intensity of use next to a habitat that supports protected and endangered species. Gaunt said she believes that the city not completing an environmental review is a violation of the California Environmental Quality Act. Gaunt also voiced concerns about the recent bulldozing on the property near the wetland habitat. In 2005, the city’s code enforcement issued a notice of
violation to the San Diego Polo Club for damage to the Coast to Crest Trail along the property. A site development permit was issued for restoration work but nothing has been done for the past 11 years. In 2016, code enforcement issued a new notice of violation for damage adjacent to the Coast to Crest trail between the road and hillside. Separate from its lease agreement, Surf Cup has pledged to complete both restoration projects at the cost of $1 million. Madaffer said there is also a comprehensive traffic plan in place and Surf Cup plans to make improvements to the entry and exit points to help alleviate the complaints of “nightmare” traffic on Via de la Valle and El Camino Real. He also reiterated that there will be no “mega sports complex” and the use will not intensify. “I think it’s going to be a great partnership between the city and Surf for this lease,” said Councilmember Chris Cate. “Surf is part of the fabric of this city…I couldn’t imagine what the city of San Diego would be like without Surf.”
Registrar’s office, as of Monday, Aug. 1, no candidates, including the incumbents, had filed to run for the seats. The community services district provides sewage collection and treatment services for about 2,600 customers in Rancho Santa Fe. The agency also contracts with the Rancho Santa Fe Association to maintain the landscaping along 60 miles of county roads within the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant area.
If additional candidates file to run for seats on the three special district boards by the filing deadline of Aug. 12 or 17 (depending on whether incumbents file for re-election or not), voters would get to weigh in on the candidates in November. However, if no additional candidates file before the deadline, the current candidates for the irrigation and fire district boards would be designated as winning
those seats by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, said Elvira Vargas of the Registrar of Voters office. If no candidates file to run for the community service district board, the positions would be advertised, and qualified applicants would then be appointed by the Board of Supervisors, Vargas said. Another board with seats up for election this fall is the San
Dieguito Community Planning Group. Eight of the panel’s 15 seats come up for election this year, and the deadline for filing is Aug. 12. The group advises the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on land-use and planning issues in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and surrounding communities. So far, two people, incumbents Douglas Dill and Philip Fisch, have filed to run for planning group seats.

Everlasting memories of loved ones
James H. Carmel
January 11, 1919 - July 30, 2016 Rancho Santa Fe — James henry carmel, 97, died peacefully Saturday, July 30, 2016, at his home in Rancho Santa Fe, ca. he was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Patricia S. carmel, and is survived by three children, two step-daughters, 13 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. he was born on January 11, 1919, in the hamilton heights neighborhood of new York city. Until he was six he lived with his parents and elder sister in the Belvedere, an elegant six-story Beaux arts apartment house on the corner of West 150th Street and edgecombe avenue, high above the harlem River. In 1925 his father, an accountant and manager of M. cohen & Brothers, a new York fur manufacturing company, moved the family 15 miles north to the suburb of new Rochelle, in Westchester county, new York. By his mid-teens, he had developed into a fine artist, talented enough to qualify for a coveted spot in the free art schools of the national academy of Design, founded in new York city in 1826 and the foremost art foundation in the country. Instead of returning to new Rochelle high in the fall of 1935 he began commuting to the academy at amsterdam and 109th Street where he thrived, enjoying drawing from casts of sculpture and from life, the camaraderie among fellow artists, and in the summer of 1936, a rare summer fellowship at Laurelton hall, Louis c. tiffany’s 600-acre estate at oyster Bay, Long Island. In the spring of his second year he left the academy to take a position as a preparator of dioramas in the american Museum of natural history’s new hall of north american Mammals. he spent three years at the museum, working with fellow diorama artists to create the highly detailed three-
dimensional foregrounds for the alaskan moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, and colobus Monkey, among other exhibits. In late 1939 he left the museum to become an assistant preparator or “leaf twiddler” at the cranbrook Institute of Science, a fine natural history museum founded in 1927 by ellen Scripps and George Booth as part of their cranbrook educational community. Bundled up in his father’s raccoon coat, he drove to Detroit in a 1935 Ford convertible (sans heater) that he had reluctantly won from a friend in a game of craps. arriving during christmas week with a car helped make instant friends with the artists and instructors in residence at the cranbrook academy of art – two men and 16 women – and within a few weeks he had moved out of a boarding house and was sharing a suite in the men’s academy with harry Bertoia, a sculptor and furniture designer. his arrival coincided with what would come to be known as cranbrook’s golden age and the new social life included frequent dinner parties at the home of eliel and Loja Saarinen with their son eero and his wife, Lilian. he became part of the crowd that included Swedish sculptor carl Milles, architect Kevin Roche, furniture designers charles and catherine eames, ceramicist Maija Grotell, sculptor Marshall Fredericks, weaver Marianne Strengell, and
painters clifford West and Zoltan Sepeshy, among others. the good times at cranbrook ended with america’s entry into World War II and he enlisted in May 1942 at Detroit and was accepted as a cadet in the army air corps. after two years of basic, primary, and advanced training as a heavy bomber pilot, in the spring of 1944 Lt. carmel took command a B-24 Liberator in topeka, Kansas, and flew with his crew to San Pancrazio, Italy, via Brazil and Morocco. they flew 18 european bombing missions in multiple, battle-weary Liberators before being shot down over austria on May 29, 1944. he and his flight engineer were the only two out of ten crewmembers to survive. From June 1944 to January 1945 Lt. carmel was held as a prisoner of war at Stalag Luft III in Sagan, Germany (now Poland), the P.o.W. camp made famous by the Great escape of March 1944. With the approach of the Russian army in January 1945, he and 11,000 fellow american and allied officers (along with the camp guards and some 20,000 civilians) were force-marched over four days and nights in blizzard conditions to a railroad siding at Spremberg where they were jammed into boxcars and transported to Moosburg, an overcrowded P.o.W. camp near Munich. after liberation by Gen. George S. Patton’s third army, Lt. carmel and a friend walked out of the open camp gates on april 29, 1945, and were picked up by two US army officers from an advanced reconnaissance team. the following day he hitched a ride on a c-47 transport plane to Paris in time for Ve Day and spent the next month there and in Italy before returning the United States in June. Like so many of his generation,
he never spoke about his war experiences until his flight engineer tracked him down 50 years later. Following the war he earned an M.a. in Fine arts from the University of nebraska, spent two years in London on a Fulbright scholarship, and returned to cranbrook where he met and married Patricia in 1954 and became stepfather to three daughters from her previous marriage – Patricia Joy Darmon of Geneva, Switzerland, Victoria Joy emmons of cumberland, Me, and the late Josephine Joy MacLean of harbor Springs, MI. the carmels had three children together – christopher carmel now of Sheldon, Sc, Jeffrey carmel of Rancho Santa Fe, ca; and Jennifer carmel of olivenhain, ca. In subsequent years, his work as an artist, photographer, filmmaker, and World’s Fair and museum exhibit designer took the family from Brussels to nassau, new York, copenhagen, Stockholm, and Los angeles among other cities. he was the author of “exhibition techniques: traveling and temporary” (1962) as well as the inventor of Superscan, a 35mm, 360-degree motion picture camera. his last major museum work was for the George c. Page Museum at the La Brea tar Pits in Los angeles, a job that brought the carmels from Detroit to Rancho Santa Fe in 1973. Known lifelong for his marvelous sense of humor, dry wit, and amusing pranks, he was also an avid sailor, freshwater fly fisherman, weekend golfer, and into his mid-nineties could daily be seen briskly walking the riding trails of Rancho Santa Fe. a private memorial service will be held at a later time.

FROM INTERNS, A6 out of that environment through a lot of hard work,” Richard said. “He talked about opportunity and what we should do if we have the opportunity to help others; he was definitely my favorite speaker.” Of their week in DC, Richard and Snigdha said their most memorable experience was meeting their fellow Student Leaders. “Even though we all came from really different backgrounds, I bonded better with these kids than some of my classmates because we all have similar passions of serving our communities,” Richard said. “We weren’t talking about regular teenager stuff, but different political issues.” Both students said they were grateful to be able to hear from so many different perspectives and how the others treated all viewpoints with respect. “I really appreciated everyone at the program, they were really understanding and open-minded,” said Snigdha. “I felt a lot more welcome to express my opinion. We were able to put ourselves in each other’s shoes and see pros and cons of each side.” Being a Student Leader made an imprint on both students’ lives. Richard said before the summit he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do but after a week in DC, he is really encouraged to get into political science and public policy. “I realized that maybe with politics, you can actually accomplish something good,” Richard said. “Before this experience, I saw myself as very focused on STEM, science and pre-med,” Snigdha said. “After this I’m open to more service-oriented things. I’m still planning to be pre-med but now I’m able to see a more humanistic perspective. I’m better able to interact with people and hear their stories and see where they’re coming from. In a way it reinforced what I want to do.” Snigdha will leave on Aug. 20 for Yale.
FROM BOOK, A4 The proceeds from “Creativity Unzipped” and any artwork she sells, all go toward her private family foundation, The Westreich Foundation. Westreich and her foundation were instrumental in the development of the University of San Diego’s Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research, and she recently awarded $30,000 worth of scholarships to 22 students from San Diego County Juvenile Court and Community Schools through the Words Alive Westreich Scholarship Program. With her foundation, she focuses a lot on the areas of health, wellness and food safety and is a supporter of organizations such as the American Nutrition Association and Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine. Westreich calls herself an “accidental activist” and has grown more passionate about her causes. Recently, she wrote and produced a video on the effects of glyphosate, the most used agricultural chemical herbicide, called “From DDT to Glyphosate” with Airleaf Media. Her video uses interviews captured at her home when she brought a group of scientists to the United Kingdom and the U.S. together in conjunction with GMO Science for a roundtable discussion. According to geneticist Dr. Michael Antoniou in her video, 80 percent of genetically-modified crops have been engineered to tolerate the herbicide and, as a result, people are ingesting higher quantities of pesticides; effectively “a slow poisoning.” “I am very happy with it and I hope the whole world watches and begins to understand that without good safe food, you can’t have good health,” Westreich said. As an emerging activist, Westreich is using her “conscious creativity” for the benefit of the whole, creating a public conversation that explores an issue facing society. “We are coming to understand that our thoughts, feelings and words transform themselves into the culture we are a part of, the very future we inherit,” wrote Phillips. “They matter deeply. They have consequences. They are the tools of our creativity, the colors that become the painting.” “Creativity Unzipped” is available on Amazon, Kindle and at janphillips.com.

Steven expressed his sincere appreciation for the financial support allowing him to attend and graduate debt free from Baylor University. He values most, however, the relationships developed and support received through a very special future legend mentoring program, chaired by Jim and Beverly Boyce. Currently there are eight scholars attending their university of choice. Each year the grants committee, chaired by Anne Feighner McCarthy, carefully reviews
applications and selects two financially challenged and deserving scholars who receive four-year college scholarships. A power point presentation was made about the history and future of this unique scholarship program with volunteers and leadership that think outside the box. For example, announced was a very special 9-11 music event featuring “Songwriting with Soldiers,” a USO program dedicated to assisting veterans fulfill their passion for music. The 2017 event will be held outdoors at the RSF Golf Club.

Every Inch an Artist, and Still Trucking BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ana Quesnell, born and raised in Tampa, has been an artist all her life...except for those times she was a weather mapmaker for a Tampa TV station; a satellite communications technician in the U.S. Army; a horse-whisperer, groomer and barn manager at a foxhunting ranch in Reno; a maker of custom bronze doorknobs in Escondido; or a cashier at Trader Joe’s in Encinitas—one of three local jobs she held at once so she could keep on trucking, that is: keep the Dodge pickup she often called home in working order. All this — and more — was part of a 15-year hiatus between a BFA at Tampa University in 1991 and acceptance into the MFA program at UC San Diego, from which she graduated in 2008. Best known for her large-scale, microscopically-detailed pencil drawings of things like neighborhoods she’s lived in, the American flag, and her grandmother’s tablecloth, she has been part of major exhibitions at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, La Jolla; San Diego Museum of Art; and Tijuana’s CECUT. Besides drawing, she has a background in painting and sculpture and is now experimenting with animation. A 2006 San Diego Art Prize-winner, she also won MCASD’s coveted CERCA award in 2007, which included a solo show and the $10,000 purchase of one of her drawings, after museum director Hugh Davies saw her work at UCSD Open Studios Day. “Everything I do is about what I own and the spaces I occupy,” Quesnell said. “It’s all a process of self-discovery. I learn about myself, and the ideas transcend the personal.” After living in Tijuana for seven years, travelling back and forth to jobs on this side of the border, she now has a small studio in Encinitas, in a large art-space called The Artist Odyssey (TAO). Inside the studio, where she uses the floor as a drawing-board, is her bicycle, good for exercise and local mobility; outside, there’s a motorcycle, for longer-range distances, and a Hyundai SUV, her current live-in vehicle, a recent upgrade from the worn-out old Dodge. Last month, she had a pop-up exhibit at TAO, a retrospective of over 100 pieces—more work than she’s ever shown in

‘JUNK: The Golden Age of Debt’ Playhouse production asks: How did we get here and what now?
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER Rich or poor, savvy or ignorant; it’s no secret that Americans are seeing their financial status constantly change and for the most part, not for the better. The world premiere La Jolla Playhouse production of Ayad Akhtar’s “JUNK: The Golden Age of Debt,” which is adapted from his book, dives into the world of money, how it has changed from the 1980s. Doug Hughes directs. Considering the unsettling amount of people who to this day borrow from payday loans only to find out they can’t pay them back; or the thousands who were affected by the home mortgage catastrophe that left many homeless and/or broke; or the surge of upstart entrepreneurs that fell prey to junk bonds or unreliable research; Akhtar has a foundation for this play to which many can (unfortunately) relate. Akhtar co-wrote and starred in “The War Within,” a 2005 film about terrorism. His script was nominated for best screenplay at the Independent Spirit Award. His Broadway play “Disgraced” received the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2013. “For a long time I’ve watched the corporate world secure sweat equity far beyond what’s right,” Akhtar said about why he wrote this play. “ ‘Junk’ is about the financialization of modern American life – about the rise of money as not just
COURTESY PHOTOS
Director Doug Hughes and playwright Ayad Akhtar a tool but a product unto itself – through a fictional, even mythic retelling of the high-flying days of the 1980s. Today there are a lot of outsiders promising more than they can deliver or mega-stores invading towns and making smaller competitors go out of business.” Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley said, “This play portrays their industry-toppling deals on stage in a style akin to Shakespeare’s ‘Henry IV,’ where the battlefield is a corporate boardroom, and the players are kings of finance.” Akhtar’s enthusiasm is hard to mask as
he delves into the thrills of the plot. And though the play doesn’t focus on them, archetypal characters of the past to tell a story about how their actions changed the world. He mentions high-yield bond kings such as Michael Milken and the Beverly Hills’ pioneering investment banker Drexel Burnham Lambert (a major Wall Street investment banking firm that was forced into bankruptcy in February 1990 due to its involvement in illegal activities in the junk bond market). Hughes was a favorite to direct Akhtar’s work, thanks in part to recent Broadway productions: “Outside Mullingar,” “The Big Knife,” “An Enemy of the People,” “Oleanna” (the Tony-nominated revival of “The Royal Family”), “Doubt,” (for which he won a Tony Award for best director), and more. “I’m very happy to have him as our director, and a wonderful cast of 17 who play 35 characters,” Akhtar said. “Eight are from New York, others are locals. I’m also very excited by our amazing design team, (which is) mostly from New York, and one of the greatest.” A verbal leavening of the financial world is certainly worth seeing for anyone who has to deal with their own funds, and Akhtar said those who are mindful of the way many are struggling will enjoy it.

Joe’s Paving owner used unique skills to build a successful company
Repko took over after a 25-year career in tech When Sean Repko bought Joe’s Paving from its owner of 30 years back in November 2001, it was a small but thriving business. Repko, with degrees in economics, finance and Spanish, and 25 years of experience in the high-tech industry, didn’t know much about his new venture, so he made a unique deal. “I put a deal together with him, which was I’ll buy the company if I can work for you for 90 days and see if I can handle it,” Repko explained. “You know, hang up my suits and ties, buy a pair of jeans and get out there.” Within 45 days, he realized that not only could he do it, but he could use his background with computers and marketing to make the business much bigger and better. The company had eight employees when Repko took over, and he now employs more than 40 people and has all new equipment. He’s spent over $1 million on equipment this year alone. Recently, Repko has used his expertise from outside the world of construction to increase Joe’s Paving’s workload through exclusive contracts with various municipalities in North County. “Whenever municipalities had street
holes, from water pipe breaks and things like that … we were always competing with the same companies,” Repko said. “Every municipality, whether it is Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Olivenhain, Vista, Fallbrook, they all have the same problems. “With my marketing background … I went to all of them and said, ‘What if I put together a pricing program that you can all take advantage of?’ The long and the short of it is … I’ve got a number of contracts that are annual and they piggy-back with other municipalities.” The company has recently started doing concrete, in addition to asphalt, and works on commercial and residential projects, both big and small, including but not limited to new home tract developments, private roads, shopping centers, industrial parks, mobile home parks and work for homeowner associations. Joe’s Paving covers San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties — as far east as Lake Havasu — but specializes in North County. “I have a general engineering license so we can do anything outside of a building, from underground to building bridges,” said Repko, who stressed that individual homeowners still make up a large portion of

Owner Sean Repko has seen Joe's Paving grow bigger and better since he took over in 2001. his projects. “We don’t do much advertising, but we are very proactive about finding business.” The success of Joe’s Paving, however, isn’t just about marketing and finding a large quantity of jobs. Repko says efficiency is the key to his entire business model. “Asphalt is an oil-based product and oil is
expensive these days. If you are going to purchase an extra couple of tons that you don’t need (for that job), you are throwing money away,” Repko explained. “What I’m doing is not novel, what makes it different is our efficiencies.” Those efficiencies also include keeping new equipment that won’t break down and working hard to make sure his employees stay with the company for a long time. And, of course, Joe’s Paving does everything it can to hang on to repeat business — the backbone of any company that considers itself part of its local community. Repko says he plans to keep expanding the company and is ready to scale even larger. “Bigger jobs are just bigger jobs, they aren’t any more complicated,” Repko continued. “Some of the smaller ones are really complicated. The bigger ones are just a certain amount of work every day. So that’s kind of where the company is headed.” For more information or to contact Joe’s Paving — an Angie’s List Super Service Award recipient for each of the past five years — visit www.pavingamerica.com or send an email to seanr@pavingamerica.com. —The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support this newspaper.

Laughing It Up in La Jolla
The Comedy Store offers a special Sunday W
hat is the funniest place in all of La Jolla? The 900 block of Pearl Avenue. That’s because it’s the home, at 916, of The Comedy Store, a place that has been churning out laughs for the last 40 years — in the same location! It all began back in 1976 when The Comedy Store was opened in South Mission Beach. In 1977, the Store moved to its La Jolla location and it’s been there ever since. The list of who has performed at The Store includes all the greats, like David Letterman, Robin Williams and Michael Keaton, to name but a few, plus numerous local favorites. On Sunday, Aug. 7, there’s going to be a special event at The Comedy Store, billed as “Dat Phan and Friends.” The show will open with music from Enter the Blue Sky, a local up-and-coming rock ‘n’ roll band, and afterward the comedians will ascend the stage. These include former Italian-American banker, Tony Calabrese; former massage therapist, Toni Torquato; and the headliner, Dat Phan — one of the most prominent Asian-American comedians. Enter The Blue Sky is a band headed up by singer/songwriter/guitarist Sande Lollis, who started singing at age 2, and playing the guitar at 13. Her performing style has been described as, “a powerhouse of energy and melodic bliss.” Lollis will be accompanied by the electric viola of Karen Childress-Evans, who is the retired director of the Visual & Performing Arts Program at San Diego Unified School District.
COURTESY
Winner of NBC’s ‘Last Comic Standing,’ Dat Phan headlines a night of comedy and music Aug. 7 at The Comedy Store La Jolla. Childress-Evans has also played with the La Jolla Symphony. On harmonica and blues harp is John Seever, who learned to play the harp in his college days at the University of Florida at Tallahassee. Sever went on to a successful career with a blues band in Memphis and has recorded at many of the legendary blues studios, such as Sun Records. Providing the low notes of flow for the band on upright bass is Taoist musician Alberto Gonzalez. He says that the bass chose him, and
he merely helps his instrument to express itself. The comic lineup for the evening will be hosted by Maria Hernandez. She will introduce Dat Phan, who won NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” competition in 2003. Phan is known for his comic inspection of ridiculous stereotypes. He has been featured on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Tyra Banks Show,” among numerous other TV appearances. Born in Saigon and raised in San Diego, Phan
has been recognized by the Smithsonian Institute as one of the 10 most influential Vietnamese Americans. He says that he seeks to rectify the under-representation of Asian America in the media and theater arts, noting, “We are more than just martial artists!” He has a DVD, “Dat Phan: Live,” available on amazon.com and an album for sale on iTunes called, “You Touch, You Buy.” Calabrese, describes himself as, “a frustrated middle-aged married fat guy meets a lazy Ninja.” When he is not ironing dollar bills down at the First National Bank of America, Calabrese teaches standup comedy at the Point Loma Actors Studio and the National Comedy Theater. Torquato is one of the two female comics in the show. She has had an assortment careers; first as a radiologist, then as a massage therapist and holistic health practitioner. When she is not performing, she works as a Certified Celebrant of Weddings & Important Life Events ... whatever that is! Also on the bill is Cammie Cooley, who may have got here because she is also the agent and manager for comics Dat Phan and Gene Levin, who is also on the bill. ■ IF YOU GO: Dat Phan and Friends; Sunday, Aug. 7. The Comedy Store La Jolla, 916 Pearl St. The show starts at 6 p.m. with an hour of music. Comedians take the stage at 7 p.m. Tickets: $20 with a two-drink minimum purchase per person.

Madison Gallery proudly presents new work by Scottish artist and poet, Robert Montgomery. Montgomery follows the tradition of conceptual art while bringing a poetic voice to text-based art. In such, he occupies a delicate space between street art and academia, bringing his slyly political art to the public sphere. His aim is to address all- encompassing, universal themes such as power, love, and human kindness in electric lightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or, dramatically, even fire. His simple, graphic poems have since been plastered, often illegally, over advertisements and billboards internationally. Having graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with an MFA, Montgomery went on to the Core Program artist residency

La Jolla novelist/screenwriter to sign latest at Warwick’s La Jolla author Stephen Metcalfe, whose writing accolades include production drafts for the films “Pretty Woman,” “Dangerous Minds” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” will sign and discuss his latest novel “The Practical Navigator,” 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9 at Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave. After making his fiction debut with “The Tragic Age,” Metcalfe follows with his second novel, “The Practical Navigator,” which was released this month. The tale focuses on Michael Hodge — the father of a 7-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, and Stephen Metcalfe the son of a woman in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s — and what happens when his estranged wife comes back into the picture. According to press material, “The ocean has become more turbulent than ever and Michel’s carefully patched together world begins to flounder and drift. Can Michael Hodge
help everyone in his life find happiness without sacrificing his own? He’s not sure of that either. “All he knows is that safe harbor, a sheltered haven for himself and the people he loves, is far away.” Set in a town “similar to La Jolla,” the book uses the main character’s love of surfing to give credence to the literal and figurative ocean in his life, and mentions places like Bird Rock and the Muirlands. Speaking with La Jolla Light, Metcalfe said, “It is about a man making his way through the important relationships in his life and navigating some (metaphorical) rough waters. Part of it is witnessing someone do the best they can with the issues they face, which I think people can relate to, because there is no one that does not try to do the right thing in these tough situations. “Another issue is a parent coming to terms with a son with a disability.” With art somewhat mimicking reality, Metcalfe’s son Wesley has an autism spectrum disorder. In 2011, Metcalfe wrote the script for the documentary “El Abuelo,” a film about a boy with autism who does not speak and befriends an elderly migrant worker who helps him “find his voice.” Wesley later starred in the film “With Me” that centered on his experience with a service dog to ease

facing a medical uncertainty affecting their child, Metcalfe gives his protagonist a level of understanding that can only come from real life. “The time that was the scariest for my wife (Claudia) and I as parents is when you first get the diagnosis, when you have no information. For us, that was 15 years ago, and at that time, there wasn’t nearly the amount of information there is now,” he said. Also reflecting on the personal nature of why he got into novel-writing, Metcalfe said, “Because I started writing in college, and I was into theater, the first things I wrote were plays. The plays led to writing for the movie industry. And while I was fortunate to write for the movie business, I was doing other people’s projects. It seemed time to do my own work.” Clinging slightly to the movie industry, Metcalfe called his appearance at Warwick’s “an opening night.” “Unlike theater or a movie, with novels, you have no opening night, there is no audience. But by having an evening at Warwick’s, it becomes like a coming out party and that could only happen in one’s hometown,” he said. “It’s my opening night.” —Find more information at warwicks.com and stephenmetcalfe.net

‘Being Mortal’ by Atul Gawande: A reminder to prepare for the end game LET’S REVIEW BY PHYLLIS MINNICK s an anonymous reviewer wrote, “The only people who should not read this book are those who expect not to die — ever! The author of “Being Mortal,” Boston surgeon Atul Gawande, writes as a deeply qualified physician who addresses the issues of disability, aging and their medical implications with the compassion of enduring his own father’s final time. He describes those issues with sympathy, but not ambiguity. Phyllis Like other escapists, I Minick quickly passed over this book title. Who wants to dwell on this depressing subject? Then, a paragraph about the book on a respected reading list provoked “need to know,” bringing “Being Mortal” into my hands. Actually, much of Dr. Gawande’s story is heartening. One such tale describes Bill Thomas, a high school bad boy, who eventually discovered science, somehow qualified for Harvard Medical School, then decided to practice emergency medicine, because the regular work hours left him with time for the farm he loved. But, seeing those ER patients moved him to check out a nearby long-term care facility, where he found depression, loneliness, apathy and despair. He applied and was hired as director. Ignoring every rule and all managerial

He occupants practices general and watered the endocrine surgery at plants, a few Brigham and cleaned up Women’s Hospital in animal poop, Boston. and others socialized at the new snack bar. Several employees even brought in their children to interact with residents and animals. With Thomas in charge, doctors and nurses still provided health care, and the disabled and memory afflicted continued to require special services, but attitudes grew brighter. The environment gained liveliness, and the newly named “Eden Alternative” thrived. Laura Carstensen was only 21 years old when she had a near-fatal auto crash. During weeks in the hospital, she saw that the older patients around her were treated differently than she was. The staff in orthopedics attended her constantly, working hard to
heal her wounds. To the elderly nearby, the medics often just waved and moved on. In the next 15 years, she gained a doctorate in Psychology at Stanford University and gradually understood how fully we ground our prospects on how much time we expect to live — of course with no thought about that time ending. Her research revealed that, with aging or life-threatening illness (regardless of age), goals shifted from seeking success to reaching, instead, for closeness with family and friends, comfort, companionship. Keren Brown Wilson, a nurse who was determined to build a better system than “nursing homes,” in 1983 developed the first “assisted living” site, Park Place, in Portland, Oregon. She began with the question, “What makes life worth living?” and decided that much of the answer was surroundings where the physically limited could live with freedom and autonomy. With grants, donations and moderate fees, her tenants (not called patients), occupied small
apartments with front doors that locked, kitchens, bathrooms and parlors. Medical help was readily summoned with a call button, but privacy was respected. Eventually, Wilson’s enterprise grew to stock market status. However, when financiers took over, sullying her compassionate (individualized) style. She sold out and moved on. Many folks of any age who need care services, though, just want to stay at home. How is that possible? A credible solution Dr. Gawande describes is Beacon Hill Village in Boston. This collective comprises members, age 50 and older, who are determined to continue living in their private homes. They pay a modest monthly membership fee and receive discounted prices for routine services: housekeeping, maintenance, gardening, health care, drivers and social activities, etc. At present, the one in Boston has lasted for 10 years, and their plan has gone global.

Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents.

RSF Children’s Library celebrates a summer of reading
T
he Rancho Santa Fe Children’s Library’s summer reading program was capped off with an ice cream social at the RSF Community Center on Friday, July 29. Children enjoyed ice cream floats, carnival games, a raffle and jump roping with the Coronado Speed Spinners. Children’s Library volunteer Nora Kasier said that 440 kids participated in the summer reading program and children read over 3,000 books. Teen readers logged over 880 hours. Kasier thanked the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation for providing a grant to make the summer reading program possible and to all of the local businesses who participated as passport sponsors.

Exhibit brings wonder-filled adventure to kids museum BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT San Diego’s original Children’s Museum started out in 1983, in what is now the Westfield UTC Mall on La Jolla Village Drive. Ten years later, it moved to a downtown warehouse on West Island Avenue, and in 2008, thanks to funding from local philanthropists, it morphed into a fabulous, three-level, 50,000-square-foot space full of natural light and fresh air designed by Rob Wellington Quigley, the multi-award-winning architect also responsible for the new Central Library. One of the first green museums in California, The New Children’s Museum has
presented some terrific exhibitions over the years, but their most ambitious and wonder-filled to date is “The Wonder Sound,” which opened to the public this summer. Part tree-house, part 21st-century Lascaux cave complex, the exhibit is a full-out invitation to exploration and discovery, the kinds of activities most children today never get a chance to experience. After two years of collecting input from local community centers and two months of onsite construction, artist Wes Sam-Bruce and his team have created a world of opportunities for crawling, climbing, looking and

listening, with a surprise at every turn. And the more you explore, the more you discover. “Now we get to see how this thing comes alive, as people become part of it,” said the artist at the members’ preview. “We’ve been working with families around here for years, and their stories found their way into the piece, and now they’re your stories, too. I’m thrilled to be able to share this with you and hope you find mystery and poetry in it.” Two years in the making, “The Wonder Sound” will be a long-term, semi-permanent installation. If you don’t
have children of your own, consider borrowing a friend’s kid to accompany you to the exhibit; your inner child will thank you for the play date. Don’t miss the dark-tunnel crawl into the spoon cave, where you can make music with 3,000 hanging spoons. Take a snack break at the museum’s Green Bellies Café, and allow extra time to check out last year’s “Eureka!” exhibit, still on display, offering an additional set of attractions. ■ IF YOU GO: The New Children’s Museum is open daily at 200 West Island Ave., downtown San Diego.

SD Jewish Film Festival launches with party and film screening The San Diego Jewish Film Festival, presented by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus, will launch the 27th season Underwriter Kickoff Party and the San Diego premiere screening of “In Search of Israeli Cuisine,” on Sunday, Aug. 21, at 5 p.m. at the David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre (4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla). The film is directed by Roger Sherman. In a gastronomical expedition, celebrity Michael Solomonov, a James Beard Award-winning chef and co-owner of acclaimed Zahav in Philadelphia, zigzags Israel to savor a food revolution rooted in centuries-old tradition. Israel’s food scene is among the most dynamic in the world, extending beyond falafel and hummus to include tasty ethnic and regional specialties. The filmmakers follow Solomonov into “hot” restaurants, home kitchens, wineries, street vendors and markets. All over the country, he discusses traditions, ingredients, the origins, and the future of Israeli Cuisine. Combining a procession of mouthwatering dishes and interviews with chefs, home cooks and farmers of all backgrounds, Oscar-nominated documentarian Roger Sherman presents a diverse portrait of the Israeli people told through the very personal language of food. The San Diego Jewish Film Festival will be presented Feb. 9 – 19, 2017. This year the festival will showcase more than 60 of the best contemporary Jewish themed films from around the world celebrating life, human rights, and freedom of expression. The mission of the Film Festival is to offer outstanding world cinema in San Diego that portrays the Jewish experience from contemporary and historic perspectives. For tickets or more information, call 858-362-1348 or visit www.sdjff.org.

Local students Oracle Certified Workforce ready BY VIC WINTRISS Earning an Oracle Certification provides a well-respected computer programming credential that validates expertise and is widely respected by human resources departments at local high-tech firms. Oracle certification is normally reserved for adults entering the workforce after completing college. Recently, however, three local 11th graders and two seniors successfully passed the challenging Oracle Certified Java Associate exam: Emi Copic, Ryan Nimeroff, Alex Baratti, TJ Gascho and Drew Heenan, after completing a four-and-a-half-year after-school program at the League Of Amazing Programmers campus in Carmel Valley. Ryan Nemiroff received a remarkable score of 91 percent. The League of Amazing Programmers is a not-for-profit, public benefit institution that teaches students in grades 5-12 the fundamentals of programming using the Java language, staffed by 30 volunteer Java professional programmers who are employed locally by high-tech firms such as Qualcomm and Sony. It is the only school in the country that teaches professional level Java to kids starting this young. The unique

Students take the computer science AP Exam in level five after three years of study. The program culminates
with preparation for the Oracle Professional Certification Exam. Level six involves designing a program which can be utilized for social good in the San Diego local area. This year several students, with teacher Phil Cruz, completed a web app for the San Diego Food System Alliance which helps match recipients with suitable distribution locations. The design and development of this project provided an excellent vehicle for students to work with a real customer, work as a team and learn iterative development processes. Headmaster June Clarke, who is well known in the local computer engineering community, designed the school curriculum and provides professional level guidance for students involved in these projects. The League also hosts the International Autonomous Robot Competition each summer where students program robots to autonomously navigate a maze and perform other feats. Attending a week-long Java workshop (given during vacation periods) is a prerequisite for entry into the continuing League classes. For more information visit www.jointheleague.org.
Words Alive awards $30,000 in scholarships to college-bound San Diego students Words Alive, a leading nonprofit literacy organization that inspires a commitment to reading and develops shared reading experiences for children, youth and adults, has awarded a total of $30,000 in scholarships to 11 outstanding students from the 22 San Diego County Juvenile Court and Community Schools. Each of the Words Alive Westreich Scholarship recipients will receive a scholarship award ranging from $1,250 to $5,000 for the 2016-2017 academic year. The 2016 Words Alive Westreich Scholarship Program recipients are: Trisha McElroy of University of Southern California; Rose Gonzalez of San Diego State University; Dezarae Frost of
San Jose State University; Destiny Frost of CSU Bakersfield, Brittany Jackson of University of California, Santa Cruz; Zaphire Alonso Duarte, Felicia Hurtado, Danielle Mejia, Daimeon Rodriguez, Diana Gonzalez Soto and Itzel Vega of San Diego City College Unlike other scholarship programs, which typically fund only tuition, books and educational supplies, each recipient is eligible to receive funds to cover the cost of rent, food, childcare, clothing, travel and other living expenses. Additionally, the program matches each recipient with a mentor, who meets with his or her student throughout the school year,
providing guidance, direction, and often times, a “shoulder” to lean on. Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist Ruth Westreich created the Words Alive Westreich Scholarship Program in 2007, with the first scholarships awarded the following year. The program awards scholarships to Words Alive Adolescent Book Group program participants to support them in their pursuit of higher education at the college or vocational level. “Words Alive is honored that Ruth Westreich and the Westreich Foundation established the Words Alive Westreich Scholarship,” said Words Alive founder Leslye Lyons. “Their generosity has
allowed us to help many bright, talented, dedicated teens achieve their educational goals. The whole community will benefit from what the students, in turn, offer back to all of us.” To recognize the 2016-2017 scholarship recipients, Words Alive will host its annual Words Alive Westreich Scholarship Awards Ceremony from 5:30-7 p.m. Aug. 15 at San Diego’s downtown Central Library, located at 330 Park Boulevard.

‘Insects at Night’ event at San Elijo Lagoon In the glow of a first quarter moon, what will you find at San Elijo Lagoon? Join the Conservancy and its guest insect expert Moe Magowski for an illuminating event Friday, Aug. 12, from 7:30-9 p.m. Be abuzz with discovery by gently collecting and observing insects and pollinators of the nighttime skies. Insects are everywhere. Entomologists often use night traps to study the smallest critters. Black lights, or ultraviolet lights, are more attractive to non-biting insects, including some moths and beetles. After a stroll in waning light, and just before dusk, Magowski will set up the night trap and suspend the black light in front of the white sheet. This way, attendees be able to see those insects that land behind the light for a rest stop on a contrasting background. Some bugs can be collected by hand for closer inspection. Kids of all ages are welcome. It is recommended to wear light layers, and bring along headlamps or flashlights. Experience a summer evening in a whole new way with Insects at Night at San Elijo Lagoon. Space is limited; reserve soon. Members receive discounts on all conservancy tours and events.

PET OF THE WEEK
BARBIE, a 2-year-old Labrador
mix, is looking for a patient family to love. Barbie previously lived on a large property with other dogs, but her owner decided she could no longer care for them. When she first entered our care, Barbie was very shy and fearful of new people, often cowering and shaking in her kennel. After working with her trainer with positive reinforcement, Barbie is feeling much more confident. Her ideal home would be with a patient, loving family who can take their time getting to know Barbie. With a few extra treats and letting her approach when she’s ready, Barbie is a very sweet companion who is eager to please. If you can give Barbie the home she deserved, please visit her at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus, 3450 E. Valley Parkway or call 760-888-2247.

The Powerhouse Quintet to perform at Dizzy’s jazz club The Powerhouse Quintet will play at Dizzy’s jazz club on Saturday, Aug. 13 at 8 p.m. Bay area saxophonist Steve Feierabend, Portland trumpeter Bryant Allard, and New York bassist Bim Strasberg, all originally from the Del Mar area, will reunite to perform some of the music from their 2002 CD release “Reunion” (recorded at Peter Sprague’s Spragueland Studios), as well as many other more recent compositions. Their music reflects their similar backgrounds, which are rooted in the music of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, and others of that generation. “Our musical adventure started almost 40 years ago when, while still in high school, we discovered jazz and decided to form our own band. Having all grown up together in Del Mar, we have been good friends even longer, going back to grade school. In August of 1978, after graduating from high school, the three of us moved to Boston together to further our musical studies. Over the years, we continued to play professionally but went in our own directions, settling in different parts of the country. Only on the rare occasion when our travels coincide do we have the opportunity to perform together. These rare performances have been a revelation: despite our different paths, we have found there is an uncanny empathy in our musical sensibilities, and this fuels a desire to continue performing together.” The Del Mar natives will be joined by Rob Whitlock on piano and the Jim Plank on drums. Cover: $15. Dizzy’s is located at 4275 Mission Bay Dr, San Diego, 92109. Visit dizzysjazz.com.

A Brief Guide to Counters and Flooring In the previous columns, we’ve discussed the general range of what to expect when deciding on your materials for your new home or remodel. Here is a handy list to give you a more detailed idea of what your options are for counters and flooring. Ultimately, you should choose the look you love, since you will have to live with it for a while. However, it’s also good to know what types of materials best suit particular homes and lifestyles. Going to showrooms for tile and other flooring materials can be overwhelming, but there is something thrilling about the
hands-on process of touching the materials and imagining them in your new house. To avoid any anxieties during the decisionmaking process, it’s best to go in with a plan in mind. Have an idea of what materials suit your home best and how much you can spend. Choosing your countertop. • Granite. This comes in polished and honed. Polished granite is the top choice for most homeowners, as it offers a variety of style and color options, has the highend look of marble, and remains one of the most durable options. With granite, visit a warehouse and walk the aisles of slabs of various patterns to really get a sense of your future kitchen or bathroom. Honed offers a matte finish, which lends a modern twist to the style while retaining the durability of regular granite. • Quartz. One of the new darlings in countertop materials, quartz countertops are engineered to resist stains, acid, scratches, heat, and impacts. The surface also isn’t porous like natural stone and so doesn’t need to be sealed, so it’s virtually
maintenance free. It also ranges in color and pattern to fit most kitchen styles. • Marble. This material offers a highend appearance with a cost comparable to granite, and the veining is ideal for disguising wear and staining. However, marble can be porous, so without regular sealing and special care with acidic elements, staining and etching can be a problem. • Travertine. This material is favored for its Old-World look, ideal for Tuscan-Revival styles. However, you can combine it with other materials, such as stainless steel or wood, for an updated look. • Laminate. This is the most budgetfriendly option of all. This retro material is ideal for a mid-century style, but laminate is also seeing a resurgence in popularity because of new patters made to resemble natural wood, stone, and quartz at a fraction of the cost. • Wood. The butcher-block style works for either a rustic farm-house style or a hip industrial style when mixed with metal finishes and barstools. Wood is relatively
budget-friendly and comes with several benefits. When it is properly sealed, it’s safe for food prep—including cutting meat—and you can set hot pots directly onto it without damage. • Stainless steel. For a very modern and industrial look, stainless steel offers durability and ease: it cleans up with cloth and mild soap. It also happens to be the most hygienic material for a countertop, as stainless steel resists bacterial buildup. One of the best features of this material is that it blends well with other colors and materials for a multi-dimensional kitchen. • Tile. Trends have been moving away from this option because of the durability factor—popular throughout the 1970s and ‘80s, tile provides a somewhat uneven surface because of grouting and is prone to chipping.

A charcoal drawing Iana called ‘an older work from when I was doing stream-of-consciousness responses to vision and perception.’ FROM IANA, B2 drawings justice. “Every single inch is a drawing in itself,” said Quesnell, whose tiny pencil strokes give extraordinary texture to her pieces. “That’s what makes a good piece for me—I can just get lost in every inch of it. And the only way to do that is spend hours and hours doing it. When I’m showing my work, I’m really showing my time.” She has taught art at USD, UCSD and Cal State San Marcos, and is currently an adjunct professor at Mira
Costa College. Earlier this year, she started offering free, pop-up drawing classes, open to all ages, on local beaches. “I love teaching, I love watching students evolve from feeling they can’t do anything to a feeling of confidence that makes them light up, but it’s difficult to wait each semester to find out if I’ll be teaching the following semester,” she said. “The pop-up school is a way for me to have a sense of ownership and control over my teaching and offer the artist and the community direct access to each other.”

FROM REVIEW, B9 their importance, are not the central issue of “Being Mortal.” The author’s critical message is planning for the end game. He believes that medical professionals have been wrong about the goals generally considered most important — ensuring health and survival. Generally, for caregivers at institutions and within homes, patients’ safety is a first priority. Wrong, he believes! Instead, the No. 1 task should be shared decision-making to achieve well-being. To that end, he relates advice from a colleague in the rather new specialty of palliative care. During a difficult discussion about treatment, alternatives or prognosis, he now urges that doctor and patient exchange information. What do you, the patient, want to hear about your status, options, fears? After the explanation, what do you understand about your illness? What will you accept or give up to live? That process probably needs repeating and can certainly take more than the 15 minutes often scheduled for a doctor visit. Ideally, the palliative practitioner and recommended treatment bring comfort, while patients determine their priorities and make decisions to achieve them. (FYI: California’s End of Life Option Act (AB-15), with its underlying concept, Death with Dignity, was enacted on June 9, 2016. Although an anti-choice protest temporarily stopped its passage, AB-15 is now the law, and its provisions will be available to Californians by February 2017 or sooner. Therefore, end-of-life planning has new urgency.) Ultimately, though, “physics and biology and accident have their way in our lives,” he writes. Courage is the strength to recognize these realities and to understand that “hope is not a plan.” (FYI: POLST — Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment — is patient instructions for emergency care and is a companion document to an Advanced Directive, which appoints a legal decision-maker for future treatment. Both document a patient’s wishes for themselves, their physicians and care providers.) — Phyllis Minick is involved with PM Publications, a medical documentation service.
