New sites for Farmers Market pursued BY KAREN BILLING In response to a petition in opposition to the proposed Farmers Market from El Tordo neighbors, market planners are now looking for an alternative location. Rancho Santa Fe Association Director Eamon Callahan said the committee working on the market has had discussions with the marketing director at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe to see if they would be willing to offer space or provide liability insurance. The market has been proposed for Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism

Back in the swing of things

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved a new membership category at its Jan. 17 meeting to allow the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club to go after a younger demographic moving into the Ranch. The new junior executive membership category allows new members under age 48 to spread out their enrollment fees in installments. The new category passed by a 6-0 vote, with Director Eamon Callahan abstaining because he didn’t approve of the age limit,

which he said at a previous meeting he believes to be unfair. Director Craig McAllister praised the new category as a wonderful proposal by the Golf Club to offer people the incentive to move to Rancho Santa Fe versus other communities. “Because Association members have made the commitment to buy a home here, we should make the barriers for their participation in the various Association clubs and activities as low as feasibly possible,” McAllister said. “If we are able to do this, the entire Association will benefit not only socially as a community but financially as well.” See GOLF, page 22

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors will tackle the county’s proposed roundabouts for Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway at its Feb. 7 meeting, which will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club at 9 a.m. Community members are encouraged to attend the meeting. The roundabouts are proposed for the intersections at Via de la Valle/La Fremontia; El Camino Del Norte; and El Montevideo/ La Valle Plateada in an effort to ease the long queues during peak traffic times. The draft environmental impact report was released in December and comments are

due in by Feb. 28. At the RSF Association’s Feb. 17 meeting, former RSF Association President Jack Queen told the board members that their decision on the roundabouts is one of the most important they will make during their term. “If you encourage the county to go through with it, it’s permanent,” Queen said. “It will forever change the entrance to Rancho Santa Fe.” He asked that the Association really look at the full impact of how big the roundabouts will be. He said that the proposed roundabouts are “industrial See ROUNDABOUTS, page 22

Whole Foods opening to conclude Flower Hill upgrade Five-day grand opening event scheduled for Feb. 27 to March 3 at mall BY CLAIRE HARLIN Feb. 27 is the magic date for the Flower Hill Promenade. After more than a year of construction, the mall serving the Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach areas is winding down the biggest project the property has seen since its initial construction nearly 40 years ago — and the overhaul will culminate with the opening of upscale grocer Whole Foods, the mall’s “anchor,” said owner Jeffrey Essakow. Whole Foods joins seven new restaurants and six new retailers at the mall, as well as a children’s play center, a medical center, new landscaping, a 400-space parking structure,

1977) with the new structures. A five-day grand opening, featuring food, fashion shows and music, will be held from Feb. 27 to March 3 at the mall, and

Essakow said Whole Foods will be open on schedule, “rain, shine or hail.” Mall operator Protea Properties had to fight to bring Whole Foods to the 30,000-square-foot space at west end of the 40-acre property, because the popular grocery chain generally builds stores totaling closer to 50,000 square feet. Essakow said he saw a successful smaller Whole Foods concept in downtown Philadelphia, and begged the company to scale down its plans for a Flower Hill location. “We convinced them that it would be a great addition to the community,” said Essakow of the compaSee UPGRADE, page 22

Water district board agrees to clarify rules Drawings released of RSF home invasion suspects pertaining to meeting agendas •Di rector also contends rate increase figures need ‘clarification’ BY JOE TASH Santa Fe Irrigation District directors voted at their meeting on Thursday, Jan. 17, to clarify rules regarding when and how directors can place items on the board’s meeting agenda for consideration. The issue came up last month when newly elected director Greg Gruzdowich tried to put three items on the board’s agenda, including a potential rollback of a 6 percent rate increase that took effect Jan. 1. Instead, after consulting with board president Michael Hogan, district general manager Michael Bardin put an item on the December agenda to discuss how directors can place items on the agenda. While discussion of the rate increase was not officially on the board’s December agenda, Gruzdowich did propose calling a special meeting to discuss the issue, but his motion was voted down 3-2 by the board. On Thursday, Bardin brought back language for a proposed amendment to the district’s administrative code that would provide more specific guidelines for placing items on the agenda. Bardin said the previous language was vague, and that it could be costly and inefficient for staff to spend time on agenda items proposed by individual board members, rather than a consensus of the full fivemember board. Under the new language, approved by

the board on a 4-0 vote, with director John Ingalls abstaining, any director may submit a written request to put an item on the agenda for initial discussion, but a board majority must authorize a “significant expenditure of staff time or other resources.” Such requests must be submitted at least two weeks before a meeting for items to be included on the agenda. Gruzdowich said he understood concerns about conserving staff time, but was concerned that individual directors could find themselves stymied in the ability to bring items up for a vote of the full board. Potential agenda items could be “caught in a bureaucratic cycle, like Groundhog Day, it never changes,” he said, referring to a film starring Bill Murray in which the main character keeps waking up on the same day. Director Andy Menshek said the board shouldn’t overload staff, and must conduct the district’s business in a “coordinated manner.” However, he said directors should have the ability to bring matters before the full board. “I will support you in bringing items for fruitful discussion,” he said. Gruzdowich also questioned district staff on whether he should have been allowed to put the three items on last month’s agenda under the policies in place at that time. Along with the rate increase, Gruzdowich wanted to discuss directors’ health benefits and potential consolidation with

RSF residents bring holiday spirit to troops in Afghanistan BY JOE TASH When three Rancho Santa Fe residents traveled overseas together in December, it wasn’t a typical holiday excursion. Richard Rovsek and Gary and Maggie Bobileff spent more than a week in Afghanistan, visiting with troops and handing out gifts. They even brought Santa Claus with them, decked out in a special camouflage suit with white fur trim. “We (went) there to bring the magic and spirit of Christmas to the troops,” said Rovsek, who arranged the trip through his nonprofit organization, the Spirit of Liberty Foundation. “It’s a piece of Americana you’re bringing to them,” said Gary Bobileff. “If you see all these soldiers, they really go through tough times,” said Maggie Bobileff. “When they see Santa, it really breaks your heart.” The three Rancho Santa Fe residents were joined by two other friends, Carmen Iosue of Chicago and Larry Boswell of South Carolina, also known as Santa Claus. Gary Bobileff owns a Ferrari and Lamborghini sales, service and restoration dealership in San Diego, and Maggie Bobileff owns two Encinitas clothing stores. Rovsek is retired from running his own marketing and public relations firm. While this was the first time Rovsek’s foundation arranged a trip to Afghanistan, Bobileff and Rovsek went to Iraq two years ago. The foundation has sponsored holiday events at military hospitals and bases in the U.S., along with a variety of other programs for troops and their families. Due to ongoing hostilities in Afghanistan, this trip had more of an edge to it. Whenever the group ventured outside the gates of a U.S. military base, the visitors had to wear military helmets and bullet-proof vests and travel in armored vehicles. In all, they visited three different bases in the vicinity of Kabul, the Afghan capital. Several days before they arrived, Gary Bobileff said, one of their military drivers was fired upon by snipers. “We were in a war zone,” said Rovsek. “I was more scared when we planned the trip,” said

Maggie Bobileff. “When we were there, we felt very secure.” The group flew first to Dubai, then on to Kabul, where military escorts met them. No luxury accommodations awaited the visitors; they slept in barracks, dined in the base mess hall and used the communal shower facilities. “It was real, true, honest to God military life, no frills, no luxury,” said Gary Bobileff. During their stay, the group visited the mess halls of the three bases at various times, allowing service men and women to pose for photos with Santa, and handing out gifts, some of which were donated and some provided by the group themselves. The gifts included electronics such as I-pads, certificates for free sets of times and discounts on autos for use by the service members or their families, and handwritten notes from members of Congress, governors and even the two former Presidents Bush.

High school district promotes Rick Schmitt to Deputy Superintendent Rick Schmitt, San Dieguito Union High School District’s associate superintendent of educational services, was recently promoted to the newly created position of Deputy Superintendent. Schmitt will continue as head of educational services but in addition will act as the district’s superintendent when needed. SDUHSD Superintendent Ken Noah said he expects to spend more time on oversight and implementation of facility capital improvements since the passage of Proposition AA in November, and will rely on Schmitt to be acting superintendent as necessary. Schmitt’s annual salary of $162,265 will increase to $180,000. The reclassification begins Feb. 1 and continues through June 30, 2016 under the terms of the contract.

Affluent women in San Diego wanted for new reality TV show BY CLAIRE HARLIN The TV show “Real Housewives” is not coming to San Diego, despite the slew of news reports that claim it is. However, Asylum Entertainment and a major cable network are seeking upscale, affluent women in the San Diego area for a not-yet-titled housewives show, casting director Alex Shaw said on Jan. 17. “Many people are printing ‘Real Housewives,’” said Shaw in an email. “Not true.” Asylum Entertainment, which produces television, film, commercials and music, is looking for “outgoing, exciting, strong, focused women who reside in and around the San Diego area,” according to the company. “We are looking for women who are lively and energetic, with defined opinions and views,” the production company shared in a statement. “Our featured women should have busy lives, be involved with the community, have a strong work ethic and an active social calendar. Most importantly, they should be enjoying the good life.” The women, significant others and families must be open to sharing their experience with producers and a TV audience. Those interested can email their name, age, bio, place of residence, contact information and current photos to alex@alexshaw.tv. Asylum Entertainment is the company behind the A&E special, “Gangsters: America’s Most Evil,” the TLC and Discovery Health show “Addicted,” and HGTV’s “Natural Born Sellers.” For more information, visit www.asylument.com.

This $3.2 million home in RSF is the Grand Prize in the Ronald McDonald Dream House Raffle. Courtesy photos

RSF home is Grand Prize in Ronald McDonald Dream House Rafﬂe

BY KATHY DAY For the past nine years, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego has held its Dream House Raffle — only once has the winner taken the home. Now there’s another chance to win a dream home. A $150 ticket could well be the key to a $3.2 million Rancho Santa Fe home. Participants also have a shot at more than 100 other prizes – including $25,000 cash in the first “Early Bird” drawing for those buying tickets by Feb. 8. Chuck Day is president and CEO of the nonprofit that provides a home away from home with overnight lodging, warm meals and other supportive services to families with hospitalized children. He led a tour of the RSF property on Jan. 16. “It’s exquisite,” he said, describing the five-bedroom, 6.5-bath home that includes a game room, 1,500-bottle wine room with a tasting bar, pool and extensive outdoor entertainment space. “It really is a home a family could live in.” It features 7,700 square feet of luxury living on one of the Ranch’s premier golf courses. Each year, Ronald McDonald House executives contact homeowners with property on the market, Day said. If they are interested in being involved in the Dream House Raffle, they take their home off the market while the raffle is held. In exchange they get an extensive marketing effort and may never have to put it back on the market, he added. After the 2012 event, in which the winner – out of more than 32,000 tickets — chose a $1 million annuity instead of the $2.2 million home, Day said they stepped up in price in hopes of raising even more money. Proceeds are used to “make sure we can run the house,” Day said. Giving a nod to local McDonald’s owners and operators whose backing provides just 10 percent of the operating funds, he noted that this fundraiser and other activities account for the remaining monies needed to operated the 47-bedroom house. Located just 300 steps from Rady Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House provides a place of “refuge and respite for moms and dads,” he added. Some who live close enough to get home at night

come and take breaks during the day while their children are in treatment or resting. Others, whose children may be in the hospital for six months, live in the house and have access to private rooms, their own min-kitchens, a classroom for their other children, a chapel and even a beauty salon staffed by volunteers. In 2012, they served more than 1,500 families “going through unimaginable stress” whose children had serious illness or injuries, Day said. Those who purchase raffle tickets are in for all of the drawings, from the first Early Bird one through the final one for the house on May 18. And you can win more than one time, Day said. “Once you are in, you are in for all of the drawings.” And, those buying more than one ticket get an equivalent number of entries in the multi-ticket drawing, which features more than $45,000 in prizes with the top prize a 2013 Porsche Boxster or $30,000. This year the annuity option for the grand prize could be $1.6 million over 20 years or a $1.1 million one-time prize. All of the prizes, including the house, require that a minimum of 46,000 tickets – 51,000 are available — must be sold by May 3. To learn what happens if that many aren’t sold, read the rules on the contest website. Ronald McDonald House Charities has a number other of ways to contribute to its efforts, from buying cleaning supplies or food to joining them at other events. On June 27, the organization will hold its annual Red Shoe Day, with people at intersections around town collecting donations. Last year someone – either by accident or on purpose – dropped a diamond ring in. It’s currently in safe keeping, but if it is not claimed within a year, it will be appraised and added to one of their silent auctions, Day said. Other events include Tables for Tots auction in the summer and the annual ROMP Gala set for October. Learn more about what the nonprofit does and how you can help at www.rmhcsd.org/. Tickets are available through May 3 by calling 888-824-9939 or visiting www.sdraffle.com for a registration form. Writer Kathy Day is Chuck Day’s sister-inlaw.

Local production company to hold auditions for TV show ‘So You Think You Can Sell?’ BY ROB LEDONNE A couple of years ago, Ken Gora woke up in the middle of the night with an idea running through his head. “At the time, the economy was very bad and there were a lot of talented people out there either not having work, or not hav- Next Productions CEO Ken Gora ing the jobs they deserve,” Gora remembers. “The idea was to put together a sales and marketing contest that not only gets people jobs and makes them money, but supports small businesses as well, then film it.” That idea manifested itself into the local reality TV show “So You Think You Can Sell,” which Gora calls a cross between “American Idol” and “The Apprentice,” and is premiering for the very first time on Tuesday, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m. on San Diego’s Channel Four, through both Cox and Time Warner Cable providers. Gora, a Chicago native who runs Next Productions out of Carmel Valley, put his nose to the grindstone after that fist night with merely the basic idea in his head. “My background is that I have a doctorate in psychology, and I’ve been a headhunter or recruiter for many years.” In the past, companies have hired Gora to “find them great talent and great people, primarily in the sales and managing arena,” which naturally makes him a perfect fit to produce a TV show that’s designed to do just that. “I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of the people I’ve interviewed over the years, like that of an Iraq war veteran who no one will give a job interview to but can lead a brigade of men into war.” It’s those stories, about hard-working people with di-

verse and interesting backgrounds who haven’t found their niche yet, which led Gora into creating a show that caters specifically to them. “So You Think You Can Sell” will air over eight episodes and, along with helping individual people, it’s also designed to aide local small businesses. “Each installment will focus on a small business and how people deal with the challenges we give them,” says Gora. For example, one episode will feature Fit in 60, a workout studio based in both Carmel Valley and Carlsbad that contestants have to sell memberships for, and Smart Energy USA, a Vista company that offers solar energy solutions. Gora and the show found themselves in a plum slot on San Diego’s Channel Four thanks to a connection to the channel’s Director of Programming. “He agreed to watch the first episode, and within the first 20 minutes he said, “I love this. It’s current, and it’s fun, and it’s going to help our economy.” Each episode will be filmed and edited and broadcast within two weeks, an accomplishment in itself since many shows can be in production for months. Says Gora: “It’s meant to be a live, fluid contest. My vision is that there’s a way to make businesses money, give people jobs and provide good entertainment.” The TV viewing audience can also be in on the fun: the fifth episode will be a viewer’s choice of which small business to feature. As for what the winner receives, Gora says, “It’ll be a grand prize choice of either my company hiring them for a $100,000 position, or a $7,000 cash payout, depending on whether or not they want or need the job.” The first winner of “So You Think You Can Sell” was Kristen Baldwin, a 44 year-old single mom who chose the payout since she was offered a higher paying job from CUBA beverage, a business that was also featured on the show. With all of the positive factors at play, it’s no wonder why Gora is excited about “So You Think You Can Sell.” Overall, he sums everything up simply: “The companies get sales revenue, people get jobs, and the economy is stimulated.” What could be better than that?

If you’d like to audition for “So You Think You Can Sell,” email Rachel@TheVP.net with a resume, LinkedIn, or anything else that would demonstrate your interest in the contest. Auditions will then be held on Jan. 25 and Jan. 29 at the Grand Del Mar Resort. For more information, visit www.thevp.net

Great Kindness Challenge at Solana Santa Fe Solana Santa Fe recently appointed a new student council for the school year. They will be focusing on community service and school projects. Their first task was promoting The Great Kindness Challenge, a nationwide event started by Kids For Peace based in San Diego. The goal was to encourage a culture of kindness at the elementary school.

All students were given a checklist of 50 kind acts and they spent the week working independently, in small groups or as a class to complete the challenges. The student council is standing in front of a poster they created for the event. (Above left) Grace Creelman, Melanie Molina-Lopez and Alissa Katouzian added their names to a kindness post-

Local resident devoted to becoming a ‘voice’ for endangered bonobos BY KAREN BILLING Few people can say that they’ve had a hug from a bonobo. Even fewer can tell you exactly what a bonobo is. Local resident Debbie Sandler, who has had her share of bonobo hugs, is determined to introduce people to the endangered animal, a member of the great ape family that is one of humans’ closest living relatives. Sandler had the opportunity to spend time with the bonobos in their native Democratic Republic of Congo last year and wants to raise awareness about the species, as well as alert people to the population living right here in San Diego. The San Diego Zoo is only one of seven in the United States to have bonobos in captivity. There are currently 13 bonobos in the group at the zoo, having moved down from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in June 2012. The number of bonobos left in the wild is unknown but it could be as little as 10,000. The Congo’s Lola Ya Bonobo, where Sandler visited in October 2012, is the world’s only bonobo sanctuary, taking in bonobos orphaned by the bush meat trade. “They need us, they need our voices,” said Sandler. Of the four great apes (which also includes chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans), the bonobos are the least known and the most rare. For many years bonobos were thought to be just pygmy chimps and were only discovered as a species 30 years ago, Sandler said. As the bonobos live ex-

Debbie Sandler with bonobos at Lola Ya Bonobo in the Congo clusively in the Congo there is a degree of difficulty for researchers getting access to the animals as the country has been emerged in a deadly conflict since 1998. Bonobos and chimps are humans’ closest relatives, sharing 98.7 percent of human DNA. While chimps live in a male-dominated society with infanticide and war, the bonobos are female dominated; they are more peaceful and sexual behavior is used as a way to resolve conflicts. “Because they’re so genetically alike with humans, it’s really valuable for us to understand them better,” Sandler said. They look very similar to chimps, but bonobos are smaller with pink lips, black faces and hair parted down the middle. Unlike chimps, bonobos have a very highpitched voice. Sandler, who has her degree in anthropology and primatology, is a self-proclaimed “former orangutan girl.” She got hooked on

bonobos after a reading the book “Bonobo Handshake” by Vanessa Woods, a Duke University researcher who traveled to Lola Ya Bonobo with her husband Brian Hare, who leads the Hominoid Psychology Research Group at Duke. Almost immediately after finishing the book, Sandler plunged herself into learning as much as she could about the bonobos. She tracked down Hare, flew across country to attend a Friends of Bonobos fundraiser, and made plans to go to Africa as soon as she could. “I wanted to have that hands-on experience with the orphans but equally as important, I wanted the opportunity to experience Lola and that part of the world so that I could, in some way, bring that magic back here and share this incredible group of little known great apes with my community and others,” Sandler said. Sandler also found an opportunity at the San Diego Zoo to work with a graduate student’s project on

conflict resolution. At the zoo, she is observing how two populations have merged. Lana (the zoo’s oldest bonobo who will be 34 in April) was the dominant female in one group and Loretta was the dominant in the other. “We wanted to see how the two dominant females handled each other,” Sandler said. “Lana ended up stepping aside and letting Loretta take care of the issues.” Getting to Lola and the Congo was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Sandler. “People were terrified about me going there. My younger son was really nervous and my husband was guardedly nervous but I took all the precautions I had to take and I went there with a lot of people who knew what to do,” Sandler said. Lola is located just outside of Kinshasa, the capita of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was founded by Claudine Andre in 1995 at

former retreat for Congolese dictator Mobutu Sese Soko. Lola is home to 52 bonobos, orphans whose parents were killed by bush meat traders. It is illegal to sell bonobos (they can fetch $60,000 on the black market) and when they are confiscated by police, Lola becomes a safe place for them to go. Baby bonobos are extremely attached to their mothers for the first five years of their lives, Sandler said, so much so that they can actually die alone of broken hearts. Because they need such special attention, human volunteers at the sanctuary called “Mamas” raise the babies until they reach five or six years of age when they can join the other bonobos at Lola. Eventually Lola is working on a release program but for now they live at the “gorgeous” sanctuary forest, which Sandler said is a very natural environment for the animals. Sandler knew she wanted to meet the baby bonobos but wasn’t sure how much time she would get with them—she thought she’d maybe get 20 minutes. Her third day there she got her first interaction with a 2-year-old baby and got to play with the baby every day. She has footage of her rolling around in the grass with the baby on her head, happily swinging the baby from her arms and letting the baby playfully mussing her hair. While Sandler was there, one bonobo came that had been caught in a snare and had a badly in-

jured arm. As Lola has educated the public on the importance of conservation, the bonobo was brought to the sanctuary and was able to receive surgery and treatment. “It’s a great story because the community looks to Lola as bonobo guardian angels,” Sandler said. Sandler said she “fell in love” with an 8-year-old female that she would visit daily at her enclosure. One day when Sandler had a cut on her hand, the female put her hand out to take Sandler’s hand. “She pulled my hand toward her and took her thumb and tried to squeeze the poisons out,” Sandler said. “She was so gentle, so sweet. I got teary-eyed as I neared the end of my week there and I was sitting by her enclosure crying. She put her hand out and rubbed my leg. They are just so gentle, sensitive, kind, compassionate and sharing….We all need to become more bonobo-like.” As it is now, Sandler is at the zoo once a week to help with the research project but her goal is to get involved with a deeper research program and also to get back to the Congo and Lola every year. “My goal is to be a voice for these amazing animals because there needs to be an awareness,” Sandler said. “We have a long way to go to making bonobos a household name.” Learn more about Lola Ya Bonobo at www.friendsofbonobos.org

ENGAGED LIVING THAT CATERS TO YOUR EVERY NEED. The Horsepark Trail, a new half-mile stretch of the Coast to Crest Trail from Jimmy Durante Blvd., opened on Jan. 12. PHOTOS/KAREN BILLING

Del Mar Horsepark portion of Coast to Crest Trail now open

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Horsepark portion of the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail opened on Jan. 12, completing a two-and-ahalf-mile stretch of trail that begins at Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The new halfmile of trail is just one part of the planned 55-mile Coast to Crest trail from Del Mar to Julian and is open to walkers, bikers and equestrians. “We’ve been working on it for a while and we were finally able to make the connection between the lagoon trail and this portion,” said Dante Lee, a San Dieguito River Park ranger. “It’s a fantastic view of the river and when the tide comes in you can see a lot of birds and ducks. This is one of the most interesting views of the river that you get on this side.” The delay in getting the trail linkage was mostly permitting issues and having to coordinate with various agencies. Once all of that work was done, the river park was able to get to work over the last six months building the trail, installing fences and regulatory signs. The project was funded by a State Environmental Enhancement Mitigation Program grant and was able to be completed thanks to cooperation by the 22nd District Agricultural Association and Del Mar Horsepark, which allowed the trail to be placed alongside the property despite the impacts to its operations. The trail begins just past the Horsepark entrance on El Camino Real and traverses past the San Dieguito

Mile markers are installed at every half-mile and there are benches and picnic tables along the new route, placed by local Boy Scouts. There are three bridges on the new portion of the trail, built using reclaimed wood from other parts of the river park that were burned during the Witch Creek fire. The bridges were salvaged and kept until they could be used in another area of the park. Lee said another one of their challenges in the area was invasive plant management and in completing the trail they also did an invasive eucalyptus tree removal. Lee said they want more riparian plants in the area like mule fat, willows and oaks — volunteers helped to remove invasive species, do replanting work as well as help build the trail. “The river park relies heavily on volunteers, they call themselves the Dust Devils and they really help out the rangers,” said Lee. “There’s only seven rangers,

a very small staff, so to do all this work we really rely on these volunteers.” At the end of the Horsepark portion of the trail is a sign that reads that the Coast to Crest trail stops at that point and, for now, the river park’s work in the area is complete. River park personnel are awaiting the process to widen El Camino Real because when that expansion goes through they will lobby to have an undercrossing under the new El Camino Real bridge to continue the Coast to Crest to the trial alongside the polo field. “That’s our best goal,” Lee said. The Lagoon Trail portion of the Coast to Crest Trail also has a self-guided interpretive walk that begins at the entry monument on Jimmy Durante. Trail users can scan QR codes on placed interactive signs with their smart phones to listen or read content about the area. The app also contains park information, plant and animal identification tools and trail maps. Funding for the program was provided by grants from SDG&E and REI. To learn more, visit www. sdrp.org.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Entrepreneurs, active-duty military team up in Battlefields and Boardrooms BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Solutions were on the minds of game-changing entrepreneurs and active-duty military personnel who came together at Pacifica Del Mar Restaurant on Jan. 16 for the launch of a new program. Two companies, Gen Next and Disruptive Thinkers, launched their mission to bring civilian and military cultures together in a collaboration and exchange of useful ideas that can affect growth and change in each environment. Ben Kohlmann, of Disruptive Thinkers, is a Navy pilot based at MCAS Miramar flying with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT- 101), the Sharpshooters, as an instructor pilot. The idea came about when he and a few junior officer friends were trying to find ways to expand and leverage the ideas of young people in the military, who may be held back from advancement by a more traditional system. Disruptive Thinkers’ starting goal is to bring innovation and entrepreneurship to the military. An ultimate goal is to lessen the culture shock upon leaving active duty. Kohlman said, “There’s a growing civil/military divide because our cultures are different — you need some

Ben Kohlmann, Micha Mikhailian, Eric Basu. Photo by DPG Photography bridge for that.” The dual mentorship of Battlefields and Boardrooms was born, a year-long program designed for pairs of people to meet together six times, three in a group and three in alternating work environments to share knowledge and take what is learned back to their job. “If I can pull from other spheres of knowledge and practices of successful people, I can potentially do my job better as an officer.” He adds, “Let’s bring that into

the military to help us with cultural change that can fundamentally transform the way we do business and make us a better [fighting] force.” Kohlman wanted to match up his military compatriots with the high-quality individuals at Gen Next, a company founded by Paul Makarechian, a successful and passionate entrepreneur. Natalie Alvarez, director of Communications and Special Projects for Gen Next said, “Mr. Makarechian

and some of his friends realized they had the vision and means to make a difference in a down-turned society, but were sitting on the sidelines, feeling less empowered.” They created a nonprofit membership organization that focusses on economic growth, education reform, and global security with an intent to institute long-term change. Beck Bamberger, public relations CEO of Bam Communications and new Gen Next member, provided her

local services to set up the gathering. Blair Kohn, a regional director for Gen Next, kicked off the program, excited to introduce keynote speaker Eric Basu, CEO of Sentek Global and former Navy SEAL. “Eric really exemplifies what Gen Next and Disruptive Thinkers is trying to accomplish,” Kohlmann said. Basu, after leaving the military, got his MBA at UCLA and founded his own company that provides cyber security and command and control systems for the Department of Defense. He loved being a SEAL and now he loves being an entrepreneur, able to command and control his own life and positively affect the lives of those he leads in the civilian sector. He’s taken skills and talents learned from his military career and implemented them into his company – running it like a special operations team. He pushes the drive to excellence he knows so well as a SEAL to his company employees. “We’re not just here to fill bodies in seats or punch a clock for a salary. We heavily train the best people and send them out to help our clients, so ideally our clients can look back and say, ‘Sentek Global did far better than another competitor. They

care and are here to make a difference,’” Basu said. This, he feels, can impact his industry in important ways and provide a model others can learn from. Basu said he feels a responsibility to help others transition from the military. “I think we have as a country, a duty to the person who puts on a uniform and is willing to give up everything for a modest salary so we can live the life we do.” He went over an impressive list of strengths a former military member can bring to the civilian work place. Micha Mikailian, a successful entrepreneur and Gen Next member was meeting his active-duty mentee for the first time. Mikailian wants to bring his strengths to him, “I want to work with my mentee and gain context on what he’s looking to do with his life in the military, so I can give him context (from the public sector) that’s going to have a positive impact on his future. I also want to learn from him — to bring decision-making skills or disciplines he’s received through his experience that relates to what I do in day- to-day life.” For more information, visit www.gen-next.org.

Former NFL pro Jeff Garcia helps launch TEST West Football Academy BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident and former NFL pro Jeff Garcia is partnering with 4S Ranch’s Velocity Sports Performance to usher in a new brand of football training and launch the TEST West Football Academy. Garcia is taking part in the rebirth of Velocity, a facility that concentrates on all levels of athletes from youth and high school players to collegiate level and adults. No matter what the sport, Garcia said Velocity brings the best training expertise. Garcia, who has 18 years of professional football experience, including 12 seasons in the NFL, offers up his knowledge and passion to the football side of operations at Velocity. With TEST West, Garcia is helping prepare NFL prospects for the NFL Combine in February with an eight-week training program. “It’s a lot of work but it’s what I know and what I’ve been doing all my life, I want to share the methods, the desire, the determination, work ethic, drive and commitment within yourself that you need to have,” Garcia said. Ability will only take you so far, Garcia said, and he wants to ensure Velocity athletes have the right mindset and focus to conquer whatever dreams they might have. Garcia is excited to partner with Velocity, which in the last year went from 9,000 square feet to 14,450 square feet, including 6,000 square feet of indoor turf, two batting cages and an expanded weight room. The space also houses complete medical and therapy facilities. They are still putting final touches on the renovation with fresh coats of paint and creating an upstairs lounge area for athletes. Garcia calls the huge space “an adult’s playground” and he loves getting to come there and having the room to do training activities, such as flipping tires. TEST West is a new branch of the TEST Football Academy that has been training football players since 1992. TEST began with training facilities in New Jersey but has recently opened a training facility at Florida International University in Miami, as well as launching TEST West.

The Combine is where some 300 top prospects come together for what is essentially a huge tryout before NFL coaches, general managers and scouts, as well as before a national audience as portions of it are televised. “It’s become a glamorized event,” Garcia said. “It’s really like a cattle call in a lot of ways.” Athletes are run through a series of skill tests like the 40-yard dash, a 20-yard shuttle, three-cone drill, bench-pressing 225 pounds, vertical and broad jumps and position specific drills. They have to go through the process of getting weighed and measured in front of a room of 100 people, go through interviews and take the intelligence test known as The Wonderlic. “All eyes are focused on you and that’s uncomfortable but we’re preparing them for that opportunity, so they can be the best prepared psychologically and physically as they can be,” Garcia said. The pre-combine training in San Diego kicked off this month and has players from college teams all over the country, including Michigan, Kansas, Nevada and Iowa. Last week, Garcia was helping two quarterbacks: Ryan Katz from San Diego State and Alex Carder from Western Michigan. “I will be coaching them on the field as well as being a mentor in a lot of ways, sharing my personal experience from the standpoint of having gone through it myself,” Garcia said. “I’ve lived that dream and I can share with them the intangibles, being mentally and physically strong when facing adversity.” When Garcia was coming up in the sport, he wasn’t even on the NFL’s radar and he didn’t get an invite to the Combine. “I had to fight my way in in another way,” Garcia said. “I took a different path to the NFL and it’s more rewarding to me in that way, I truly earned it.” Back then, there really wasn’t the kind of specialized training that there is today. There wasn’t this kind of Combine program or position coaches who could prepare players for what they will encounter. He said

TPHS Foundation resolves to make 2013 fundraiser a success

The Torrey Pines High School Spring Auction Committee is pumping up efforts to obtain auction items for the annual “Pump Up the Volume” fundraiser to be held at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on March 23 from 5- 8 p.m. Committee members are canvasing the community reaching out to individuals and businesses to secure donations for the annual auction which supports the TPHS Foundation’s Support All Students (SAS) fund. Proceeds will be used to purchase cutting edge computers and other technology equipment for use by students. “We are looking for a wide array of fabulous, exciting, or useful items to auction at our online and live auctions,” said auction co-chair Connie Cannon. “No item is too big or too small or too exotic.” According to Helen Nordan, auction co-chair, some exciting items are already coming in. “We have received a fighter pilot package, Invisalign braces, a fun beach “girls night” package, spa treatments, exercise memberships, and a week stay at homes in Sun Valley, Idaho and in New Zealand,” Nordan said. “But we are still looking for additional items to make our auction a huge success.” This year marks the Foundation’s 20th anniversary. “This is an especially important year for our fundraiser,” says Bobbi Karlson, Foundation director. “We are commemorating a milestone anniversary and have a lot to celebrate.” Staff is diligently tracking down the 29 founding members from 1993 to recognize them at the event. “There are many people who have contributed over the past 20 years to help improve the high school experience for each Torrey Pines High School student and we want to honor those who started it all,” Karlson added. The kickoff event for the spring fundraiser is “Toast to Torrey” which will be held on Feb. 24 from 5- 7 p.m. at the Pacific Athletic Club. For reservations, to make a donation, or for more information on the auction or events, please visit www.torreypinesfoundation.org. The Torrey Pines High School Foundation is a 501-C-3 corporation founded in 1993 which not only fundraises to provide state of the art technology and cutting edge programs to promote personal social growth, leadership and independence for all students, but also acts as the umbrella organization for parent volunteers and provides support for all booster groups on campus.

Torrey Pines Rugby prevails over Cathedral in clash of unbeatens BY TIM PICKWELL The sporting landscape is littered with contests that never match up to the pregame hype (think, most Super Bowls, the recent BCS National Championship, or, if you’re really old, Billie Jean King v. Bobby Riggs in 1973. Kids: you can look that up. Largest audience to ever see a tennis match in US.) Saturday’s contest between two of the best and unbeaten High School Rugby sides in Southern California garnered national attention, as Washington-based Rugby Magazine posted up an on-line preview of the match between Torrey Pines (4-0) and Cathedral Catholic (4-0). Both teams featured current or former High School All-Americans (Billy Maggs for Torrey Pines; Drew Gaffney and Aaron Mitchell for Cathedral), both teams were scoring juggernauts with stout defenses. The winner would have the inside track for the Southern California Youth Rugby High School Division South Championship. Add in the natural rivalry between the public and private high schools that are two miles apart on Del Mar Heights Road, and well, . . . the local Rugby community was abuzz. But, would the game live up to the hype?

Cathedral came out strong and used its impressive size to push Torrey Pines back up against its own try line (that’s a “goal line” in gridiron-speak). Torrey Pines spent the next 15 minutes playing in the shadow of its own goal post as Cathedral pounded away, trying to break through. Torrey Pines hadn’t pushed the ball past their own 40yard line, let alone past mid-field, while Cathedral stayed in control, pressuring the Torrey Pines defense with an onslaught of strong runs for a full quarter-of-an-hour. The Dons had controlled a match—dominated it really—but ended up with nothing to show for it. “We fumbled the opening kickoff and Cathedral went to work. Their size and will were impressive. Fortunately, we worked on team defense all week in practice and the boys played it perfectly. We must’ve made 30 or 40 tackles in the

first 15 minutes,” said Torrey Pines Head Coach Matty Sandoval. “The intensity got everyone’s heads into the game.” Finally, Torrey Pines Center Chase Pickwell busted free for a run that got the ball past mid-field. A Maggs pooch-kick took it to the 15yard line. Another Pickwell run, a hand-off to junior Flanker Jacob Neeley, a quick flip, and a few seconds later, Dean Karam was over the line with the first score. Torrey Pines, 7-0 after an Alec Mills kick. Neeley, an all-around talent on offense and defense, is a rookie in only his second month of Rugby. The Torrey Pines coaches named him “Man of the Match” for his all-around play. Cathedral continued to utilize its substantial size advantage to dominate the line-outs (throw in from out of bounds), but Torrey Pines more than held its own in the scrums. The two rookie props, Grant McGahey and Miles Ahles, proved that technique and fitness can easily offset size, even in the front row. In the 20th minute, Torrey Pines’ speedy wing Michael Cahill finally got the ball and broke free down the sideline, pitching to Maggs who beat the Cathedral fullback for the score. Cathedral was now down

14-0 after another Mills conversion. Torrey Pines Captain Pickwell then used an effective stiff arm to break free for a 35-yard try a few minutes later. Torrey Pines took a 19-0 lead into the half. That must have been an inspired half-time speech by Cathedral Coach Glenn Irvine. The Dons went right to work after the break. Center Xavier Ulutu used his substantial (6’ 1”, 215 LB) size and strength to bull his way in for a try with 5 minutes gone. With the kick good, the score stood at, 19-7. Sixteen minutes into the half, a busy #8 (Rugby jersey numbers correspond to the position played) Drew Gaffney scored off a 5-meter penalty to pull the Dons to 19-14. #8 is like a linebacker/full-back in the middle of the 15-man action. A lot of ball handling, a whole lot of tackling for Gaffney, who played on a USA Juniors HS All-American Team last summer in England. Cathedral kept pressing and kept control of the ball for the second half. “It felt like they had it 9 minutes for every one of ours,” said Pickwell. In a short while, Torrey Pines found itself playing in its own try zone (a.k.a., “end zone.”) An attempted quick punt by Torrey Pines from inside the try zone was blocked by Cathedral’s Chris Franke who recovered the ball for the try. With the successful PAT (worth 2 points in Rugby), the match was tied, 19-19, with ten minutes left. “In rivalry games there is always a gut check time, and when Cathedral tied the score it was ours,” said Coach Sandoval. “It was time to see what these guys were made of.” Torrey Pines Rugby practices Tuesday and Thursday under the tutelage of some of the top coaches in Southern California—former USD Star Sandoval, former All-American and USA Eagle Bill “Chief” Leverse, international professionals Allen Andrews, Dan Dorsey and Damien Fantongia. But, Wednesdays are voluntary conditioning with ex-Green Beret, Bob McDonald. Those voluntary conditioning sessions with the Green Beret may have paid off. After being pushed around most of the game, the smaller, lighter Torrey Pines props and forwards found their rhythm with a few minutes left. They were quicker to support a tackled teammate, and rather than passing the ball quickly to the faster backs, the front line took it upon themselves to pound straight ahead into the teeth of the Dons’ Defense. The larger Cathedral line was a tad slow to get See RUGBY, page 26

UCSD breaks ground on medical research facility and diabetes center BY PAT SHERMAN UC San Diego broke ground on its new $269 million Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute (CTRI) Jan. 10, during a ceremony attended by about 400 people, including elected officials, medical professionals, patients and philanthropists. The facility will enable laboratory and clinical researchers to work side-byside, collaborating and sharing resources to better understand and treat diseases from cancer and diabetes to arthritis. The building is named for philanthropists Steve and Lisa Altman, who pledged $10 million to construct the building on UCSD’s medical campus. “We are thrilled that the Altmans have stepped forward to accelerate a project that has been our dream for many years,” said Dr. David Brenner, Vice Chancellor for UCSD Health Sciences. “Their gift will help us provide personalized care that focuses on using the most advanced technologies to care for San Diegans and people from around the globe.” The CTRI building will include research laboratories and clinical research space to

The family pledged $10 million toward the facility, to include a pediatric diabetes research center. support UCSD medical and bioengineering investigators, as well as partners in San Diego’s biotech community. “The Altman CTRI will not be organized like a traditional university building with academic departments — it will not be business as usual,” Brenner promised. “Instead, talented people from all disciplines — physicians, geneticists, engineers, immunologists and computer scientists — will be brought together to collaborate on curing specific diseases. “What that means for you and for me is that we won’t have to travel to get the highest level of care,”

Brenner said. “Rather, patients from around the world will come here to access the latest treatments as we develop into a destination medical center.” Qualcomm co-chairman Steve Altman said his donation was a “no brainer.” The CTRI will include a pediatric and adult diabetes research center. Altman’s father, who also was in attendance, has lived with Type 1 diabetes — the most severe and debilitating form — since age 4. Altman’s son and one of his daughters also have the disease. When Altman’s brother, Jeff, contracted diabetes, the doctors assured that they

were very close to a cure — though four decades later none has been discovered. “It continues to impact our family in a very negative way. My niece also has it. It’s just all over the place,” Altman said, noting that the new CTRI center “is something that’s clearly of great need and of great use for us, but it also makes us feel really good that we’re not only focused on diabetes; we’re focused on all kinds of diseases.” La Jollans Kevin and Sherry Ahern, whose also donated to the center and whose adult son has Type 1 diabetes, serve on the board of La Jolla’s Pediatric Diabetes Research Center (PDRC), which will be located at CTRI upon completion. Sherry Ahern said there is a paucity of pediatric endocrinologists and other diabetes specialists in San Diego and across the country. She is thrilled that the pediatric diabetes clinic at Rady Children’s Hospital will relocate to a site within walking distance to CTRI and its education and research facilities. David Winkler, who founded the PDRC, said the diabetes center at CTRI will provide the perfect environment in which to test new

Winkler added that he believes UCSD will become the No. 1 center in the country for pediatric and adult diabetes care. One out of every 20 people with Type 1 diabetes dies from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The disease also can lead to blindness, kidney failure and cardiovascular disease. In 2010, the CTRI received a five-year, $37.2 million Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Center for Research Resources, part of the National Institutes of Health. CTRI is expected to open in early 2016, in close proximity to Moores Cancer Center, Thornton Hospital,

the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center and the future Jacobs Medical Center.

Q&A: Animation holds a place in the heart of Craig ‘Spike’ Decker

Craig “Spike” Decker

Craig “Spike” Decker is the owner and CEO of Spike & Mike’s Festival of Animation, which is opening its “30th Anniversary Celebration” at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla on Feb. 9. His Festival of Animation has premiered works by the directors of “Toy Story,” “Finding Nemo,” and “Monsters Inc.” The Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation has also premiered works by Mike Judge of “Beavis & Butthead,” Matt Stone and Trey Parker of “South Park,” and Bill Plympton, among others. Decker grew up in the Philippines, Morocco and the streets of Riverside and Berdoo (San Ber-

nardino). Who or what inspires you? It would have to be John Lassetter, head of Disney Pixar Animation. Also Katie the nurse, and Mooch, the W.W. II Marine I met who survived the Bataan Death March, as well! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Billie Holiday, Lenny Bruce, Alfred Hitchcock, Luca Brasi, Hunter S. Thompson, Janis Joplin, Tim Burton, ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic and John Lasseter. Oh wait; I already had dinner with the last three. What are your five favorite movies of all time? (And what are you reading?) My favorite films are “Bullitt,” “Spirit of St. Louis,” “Vertigo,” “Midnight in Paris” and “Chinatown.” I’m currently reading “Spike & Mike’s Outlaw Animation.” What is it that you most dislike? Pretention. A lot of people don’t realize the volume of talent that Mike and I have premiered at this very venue in La Jolla, as well as creating a genre of animation as an art form. We

have premiered works by Tim Burton, John Lasseter (creator of “Toy Story”), Mike Judge, and Nick Park of “Wallace & Gromit,” etc. — all iconic, and in some cases, Oscar-winning artists. Hell, some businesses won’t even let us leave our flyers! What is your most-prized possession? It was my original Alfred Hitchcock “Vertigo” movie poster from 1958 with Saul Bass art, until it recently burned. What do you do for fun? Comic Con, Annecy Animation Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Esalen Institute … and we are very excited about the 30-year anniversary show we are doing in February through the end of March. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Find something in this life that isn’t mainstream culture. And don’t get up early. Also, I like this famous quote from Hyman Roth talking to Michael Corleone in “Godfather II”: “Good health is the most important thing. More than success, more than money, more than power.” What would be your dream vacation? A month in France.

To Your Health: Minutes matter in heart attack treatment BY MARTIN CHARLAT, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH When a heart attack strikes, what happens in the next few minutes can make a critical difference in both the immediate and long-term health consequences. Each year, about 1.2 million people in the United States have heart attacks. A heart attack results when the flow of blood to the heart is suddenly cut off, often due to a build-up of plaque in the arteries caused by coronary heart disease. Left untreated, the plaque eventually becomes so thick that it prevents blood from getting through. Blood carries oxygen to the heart; if blood flow is not quickly restored, the heart is deprived of oxygen and begins to die. If enough of the heart muscle is damaged, the heart attack can be fatal. That’s why it is vital to get medical attention immediately if you believe you or someone else may be having a heart attack. The sooner you get treatment, the less likely the damage to the heart muscle. Immediate intervention by a medical professional team is critical to getting the blocked artery open with angioplasty and stent placement and restoring blood flow to the heart muscle. Time is crucial: If treatment is received within several hours, long-term damage can often be minimized or avoided. Once up to six hours have passed without treatment, the injury tends to

be more severe. After 12 hours, heart damage is likely to be permanent. The first step to getting the right care for a heart attack is to be able to recognize the symptoms. For men, the typical warning sign is an intense feeling of pressure, pain or squeezing around the chest. The discomfort may radiate down one or both arms or up to the jaw, neck or shoulders. Sudden and profuse sweating may also occur, as well as shortness of breath, a lightheaded feeling, or nausea. However, these symptoms are not always present — some people may have only mild discomfort, or just feel short of breath. Women often have very different heart attack symptoms than men, and they can be less predictable. Research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicates that women often experience new or different physical symptoms as long as a month or more before experiencing heart attacks. The most commonly reported symptoms included unusual fatigue, sleep disturbances, shortness of breath, indigestion, and anxiety. More than 40 percent reported no chest pain before or during the heart attack. If you suspect you’re having a heart attack, don’t write it off as indigestion or wait to see if you feel better. Call 911 immediately and tell the operator you are having symp-

toms of a heart attack. Too often, people wait to seek medical care because they don’t want to “look silly” if it isn’t a heart attack after all. We would much rather you err on the side of caution than not seek care because you aren’t sure if you need it. Delaying care can be deadly. While you are waiting for the paramedics to arrive, chew and swallow an aspirin (unless your physician has told you otherwise or you are allergic to aspirin). This can help thin your blood and possibly get more blood flowing to your heart. Once the paramedics arrive, they can begin professional medical treatment to get you to the hospital to open the blocked artery and restore blood flow. Remember, immediate professional medical care can make the difference between life and death or long-term damage. Know the signs of a heart attack, and never hesitate to get help if you suspect you need it. Martin Charlat, MD, is a cardiologist with Scripps Health. Join Dr. Charlat for a free presentation on heart attack prevention and new treatments and techniques on Wednesday, February 20, 2013, from 6 to 7 p.m. at Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA, 200 Saxony Rd., Encinitas, CA 92024.

WATER continued from page 2 other water districts on the December agenda. District general counsel Paula de Sousa conceded that “potentially” Gruzdowich’s items should have been placed on the agenda, but under district policies the request could have been handled in a number of different ways. Bardin said he felt the situation was handled properly, because the district had spent a year working on the rate increase proposal, which was approved by the board at its November meeting. He also noted that the board did consider — and reject — Gruzdowich’s proposal to hold a special meeting to consider rolling back the rate increase. During the “directors’ comments” portion of the meeting, Gruzdowich also took issue with media portrayals of the combined rate increases imposed by the

Rancho Santa Fe Review district in recent years. Over the past six years, the district has raised rates on its customers by 74 percent, including this year’s 6 percent increase. Gruzdowich said the total impact on water district customers should include the compounding effect of the series of six annual rate increases, and by that measure, rates have actually gone up 99.7 percent. “Our bills have doubled, that’s how the math works when you compound the percentages,” he said. “We at least need to be accurate in describing the impact of rates on ratepayers.” Gruzdowich said the district should make a “clarifying” statement to the media, so that the correct information about rates is reported to the public. Bardin and Hogan said every local water district would have to use the same method to report its rates, otherwise rates could not be compared across the region. While he agreed to re-

view the information that has been provided to the media regarding district rate increases, Bardin said, “I’m comfortable with the information we’ve provided to the media, I’m not inclined to make a clarification.”

AFGHANISTAN continued from page 3 they felt from bringing good cheer to the troops, the visitors found Afghanistan itself less than charming. The weather was cold, and the surroundings outside the bases were dirty, run-down and polluted. Rovsek noted that Kabul was once a beautiful city full of trees and parks, but five decades of war have left it decimated and barren. “It’s a cruel place,” said Rovsek, with a population that is barely literate, and a landscape littered with wrecked and abandoned

military equipment and piles of garbage. In the midst of winter, the mountain peaks surrounding the city were capped with snow, and flurries fell on the day the group left. Rovsek said he would happily return in spite of the bleak conditions. “I would go back tomorrow if it would help brighten the lives of the men and women in the armed forces,” he said. Maggie Bobileff said she also would return, and next time, she would like to bring personal messages from family members of Camp Pendleton troops. “That is what I would like to do, they would be very happy about that,” she said.

FOOTBALL continued from page 13 that these players coming through TEST West are blessed to be in San Diego and have access to not only the Velocity facility, but also the quality trainers they are able to bring in. Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk was able to come in and work with the running backs and 12-year NFL pro Quinn Early has shared his expertise with the wide receivers. Former Charger Donnie Edwards gave players insight not only with his skills as a linebacker, but as a certified yoga instructor. Edwards led the guys through a yoga class to help improve their flexibility. Another 12-year pro, San Diego-bred Robert Griffith worked with the defensive backs and Ato Boldin, the former Olympic sprinter whose voice can be heard as the Olympic track and field analyst for NBC and ESPN, was giving the

athletes tips on how to better their sprint times. “That’s irreplaceable training for these young men,” Garcia said. During the program, the players stay on a schedule during the day doing agility training, lifting weights and working on position-specific skills. Out on the field, Garcia goes through all the drills alongside the young men; he’s still in terrific shape and moves quickly and sharply. When the Combine training is over, Garcia plans to stick around and continue to grow Velocity and TEST West, helping players be the best prepared to meet and smash their goals. Velocity Sports Performance is located at 10806 Willow Court. For more information, visit velocitysp. com/sandiego.

ny’s eventual acquiescence. “We seemed like a promising location and model.” The Flower Hill renovation has been almost a decade in the making, said Essakow. “In 2003 we started working on a vision,” he said. “We’ve struggled with the project.” Protea Properties not only clashed with local homeowners associations along the way, it endured a lengthy dispute between the California Coastal Commission and the City of San Diego over who should have authority over the project, with the City of San Diego eventually gaining jurisdiction. Shortly after the San Diego City Council’s approval of the renovation, a local citizens’ group in 2011 sued the city in an effort to overturn the decision, claiming the environmental impact report was inadequately vetted and the project was overscaled. Protea also scaled back plans after “We all know what we do to keep the place looking rural and I’d argue strongly that the roundabouts are the antithesis of being rural,” Queen said. He suggested that the Association try solutions that are not only less expensive but instantly reversible such as possible no turn signs during peak hours, with enforcement

Local architect devoted to creation of ‘spiritual space’ One project considered one of world’s most visited buildings BY JOE TASH Through his lectures, writings and, most importantly, the architecture he has designed and shepherded through construction, Fariborz Sahba has focused his energies on creating “spiritual space.” “Mostly that’s what I have done for the last 35 years, that’s been the focus Fariborz Sahba of my work,” said Sahba, 65, an Iranian-born architect who now lives in La Jolla and works as a management consultant with a North County technology company. Sahba spent 25 years working on just two projects — a temple in India and a series of gardens, terraces and buildings surrounding a temple in Haifa, Israel. The first project, called the Lotus Temple in Delhi, is considered one of the world’s most visited buildings since its completion in 1986, and a symbol of religious unity for India. The Haifa project has

been designated a World Heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO. The two projects were commissioned by members of the Baha’i faith, of which Sahba is an adherent. And both were intended to convey central tenets of Baha’i beliefs. In the case of the Lotus Temple, a concrete structure composed of five concentric layers of nine lotus petals, Sahba submitted his original design at the age of 26, and arrived in India to supervise construction two years later. The lotus “is a universal symbol of all the religions,” he said. “The main aim of the design was to demonstrate the main principal, the most important principal of the Baha’i faith, which is unity

of mankind,” said Sahba. “Black, white, purple, pink, any color, we should be united.” The Baha’i faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. It was founded in the 1860s in Iran by Baha’u’llah, a Persian nobleman considered a prophet by Baha’is. San Diego County has an active Baha’i community. Sahba said Baha’is believe in the concept of one god for all people, and that all religions flow from the same source. The religion has no clergy, and is governed by elected councils at the local, national and international levels. People of all faiths are encouraged to visit Baha’i temples, where they can read aloud from the holy texts of any religion, or pray silently, but not deliver ser-

mons or interpret religious teachings, said Sahba. From its opening, the Lotus Temple in Delhi has attracted millions of visitors annually — in 2011, he said, the total was 4.8 million visitors, more than the Taj Mahal or Eiffel Tower. A CNN report described the temple as the world’s most visited building, and it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most visited religious building in the world. It has also garnered numerous architecture and design awards. India is a melting pot of many different religions, and believers from many faiths come together at the Lotus Temple, said Sahba. “I’m so happy to see after 25 years this is happening,” he said. The temple sits in the center of nine pools, and was designed to be cooled by drafts of air coming across the pools, up through the bottom of the structure, with warmer air exiting from vents at the top. Inside, a skylight and other openings allow natural light to enter. Sahba spent 10 years on the design and construction management, overseeing a workforce of as many as 800 local laborers. Among visitors to the site during construction was musician Ravi Shankar (a longtime Encinitas resident who died in December at

The Lotus Temple in Delhi. age 92.) Shankar composed 10 pieces of music for the temple’s opening ceremonies, said Sahba. Sahba is “one of the few architects of his time who had the opportunity, the capability and the passion to do great works,” said Mitra Kanaani, a professor at San Diego’s NewSchool of Architecture and Design. Kanaani, who is also an Iranian native and member of the Baha’I faith, said Sahba follows in the footsteps of ancient master builders who designed, engineered and constructed their projects. “Basically, what he has created, they’re artifacts, they are meant to remain, to sustain themselves for the heritage of this time, hopefully for centuries,” she said. The Lotus Temple, through its symbolism, evokes feelings of serenity and peace, and also harmony with nature, Kanaani said. While Sahba continues

to lecture in the U.S. and abroad, he isn’t currently working on any projects as an architect. He said he was recently offered a large commercial project in China, but would be more interested in a cultural, educational or spiritual building. Sahba lives in La Jolla with his wife, Marjan Davoudi, a psychologist, and has three children and five grandchildren from a previous marriage. When he’s not working as a management consultant, creating buildings or lecturing, he enjoys writing children’s stories. For two decades, he published a children’s magazine, called “Varqa,” which was translated into nine languages. Underlying all his endeavors is a desire — inspired by his faith — to help others. “The Baha’i faith encourages you to serve people, to be of service to mankind,” Sahba said.

De Anza DAR to hold Award RSF Community Center to host free Open House and Class Demo Day Ceremony and Colonial Tea The De Anza Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), will host an Award Ceremony and Colonial Tea on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 1 p.m. at the Church of the Nativity located at 6309 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Seventh and eighth grade students from Saint James Academy, The Nativity School, The Rhodes School and Saint John’s School submitted essays. The 124 entries were judged by members of the De Anza DAR American History Essay Contest Committee. Chapter winners receive a medal, certificate and monetary gift and winning essays are eligible for awards at the district, state, and national level. The essay title was, “Forgotten Patriots Who Supported the American Struggle for Independence.” The contestants were to focus on the unrecognized people and groups, including African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and others who provided military, patriotic, and public service in support of the American Revolution. They were asked to describe a particular person or group and how they supported the cause for American Independence. They were instructed to explain why it is especially important to honor the unsung heroes and often forgotten patriots. “Forgotten Patriots — African American and American Indian Patriots of the Revolutionary War: A Guide to

Service, Sources, and Studies” is a DAR book that may be downloaded free through the DAR Library Forgotten Patriots Project. Visit www.dar.org. The San Diego Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution will provide a Color Guard for the Award Ceremony. A Colonial Tea for all attendees will be held following the ceremony. A woman 18 years or older is eligible for membership who can prove direct lineage from a patriot who gave service during the American Revolution.

Brave canine saves sister from coyote attack; Sophie soon to be ready for adoption at Woodward Center Many consider Helen Woodward Animal Center staffers heroic in their constant quest to save orphaned pets, but one very unique 2-year-old Maltipoo has the staffers in awe of her heroic efforts to save her newly-adopted sister. She did what some may consider impossible – the tiny dog took on a coyote to protect the 7-month old puppy she had only just come to know. The East County family who acquired Sophie in June of 2011, say she was an undeniably cuddly pup with the personality of a teddy bear. With no signs of aggression, Sophie lived the life of a pampered pet for over a year when her family decided to bring another Maltipoo pup, named Lulu, into their household. The two bonded fairly quickly and lived together for several months when the unthinkable happened… As the two dogs went running out to play on their large backyard property, a coyote stepped out of the brush and went for the younger puppy. Sophie’s family said that they heard a cry and ran out to see Sophie step in front of her sister and take on the coyote herself. The family was able to scare the coyote away, but not before Sophie suffered surface wounds to her neck, right shoulder and side. Lulu remained unharmed, just as Sophie had hoped. Sophie’s family took her to a local veterinarian where she was stitched up and put on antibiotics. Sophie’s family, however, had a different sort of pain to deal with. Due to the rural location of their east San Diego property, Sophie’s family feared that they would not be able to protect their vulnerable dogs from the hungry search of local wildlife. With heavy hearts, Sophie and Lulu were surrendered to Helen Woodward Animal Center last Saturday, Jan. 12. Happily, within only a matter of days, Lulu was adopted by a family who lived in a more residential area and was happy to give her a second chance in a forever home. The heroic Sophie still has more healing to do and is now thriving under Center veterinary care where she is being closely monitored. She will be available for adoption at

Install a fence: Backyard fences should be at least 6 feet high to prevent coyotes from leaping over. Coyotes are also known to dig, so installing vinyl lattice 2 to 3 feet below ground is suggested to prevent tunneling. Leave no food in your yard: This includes always feeding your dog inside; cleaning the yard of any fallen apples, berries or other fruits from existing fruit trees and; securing the lids on all garbage cans.

Woodward Center’s Puppy Love 5K Run/Walk is Feb. 10 Sophie Helen Woodward Animal Center in approximately two weeks. If you would like to adopt Sophie, contact Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Department at: 858756-4117 ext. 313, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. If you live near canyons or mountain areas, take these precautions that could save your pet’s life: Use caution at night: Pets should be kept indoors from dusk until dawn. If your dog needs to relieve himself during these hours, accompany him on a short leash. Avoid taking your dog on a nighttime walk. Nighttime is the prime time Coyotes hunt for food. If you must take your puppy on an evening walk, use a very short leash.

JUST IN!!

Helen Woodward Animal Center has always loved it’s “Old Dogs,” but this year’s 4th Annual Puppy Love 5K Run/ Walk will pay special attention to its “Young Pups” too! The family-focused run/walk, which supports the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center, takes place Feb. 10, between 7 a.m. and noon. Junior athletes are invited out to race for fun, race competitively or just take part in all the kid-tastic festivities. The event will include awards in new kid-ranked categories; a Best Group Kid-Costume Contest, with a winning pizza party prize-package including Helen Woodward Animal critters as special guests; as well as free puppy-dog face painting, make-and-take crafts, relay races, food and kid-friendly entertainment. Meanwhile, the Puppy Love 5K Run/Walk will offer all the fun-filled, heart-friendly activities from past years including two courses (one for runners and one for walkers); a Valentine-themed doggy costume contest; Doga Yoga; Doggy Agility Courses; and food and canine-loving vendors in the Wagging Wellness Village. Registration begins at 7 a.m. and then the race kicks off at 8 a.m. For more information or to register visit www. PuppyLove5k.Kintera.org. or call 858-756-4117 x. 379.

TVIA boys help feed homeless BY BRIAN AKIN SOPHOMORE, THE BISHOP’S SCHOOL On Jan. 6, a group of boys from the San Diego first chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action participated in the CBI Hunger Project by serving dinner to more than 360 patrons at St. Vincent de Paul Village, the largest rehabilitation program for the homeless in San Diego. The Village provides 887 transitional housing beds nightly for homeless families, women, men, teens and veterans. Child care, family literacy and parenting classes are available, and a range of clinical services are offered, including assessments, addiction treatment, and mental health services such as individual, group and children’s therapy.

The dynamic duo is best known for “Memphis,” about a white DJ airing black music in the 1950s, which was staged at the Playhouse in 2008 and scored four Tonys on Broadway in 2010. “They’re an extraordinary team,” said Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley, who helmed “Memphis” in La Jolla and New York and is now directing “Chasing the Song,” scheduled for its first public readings — with four pianos! — Jan. 25 and 26, at the Potiker Theatre on the USCD campus. “Joe DiPietro has decades of experience in theater and is smarter than anyone I know about story,” Ashley said of the writer, with whom he has done two other shows. “And David Bryan, who toured for years as keyboardist with the rock band Bon Jovi, brings a wonderful freshness of spirit. This is still a new adventure for him.” It will be an adventure for audiences too, part of a six-week array of plays-in-progress, Jan.

Book writer/lyricist Joe DiPietro, La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley and composer David Bryan are the powers behind ‘Chasing the Song,’ which will have a staged reading Jan. 25 and 26 as part of the Playhouse’s DNA New Work Series. COURTESY 24-March 3, which the Playhouse is calling the DNA New Work Series. “As the place to look for what’s next in American theater, cultivating and developing new works is in our DNA,” Ashley said. “Now we’re pulling back the curtain and letting the audience see how we put a play together.” The DNA plays may be short on sets and costumes, and actors may have scripts in hand, but the

series promises an insider’s look at the creative process. And the high note of the series is “Chasing the Song,” an insider’s look at the process of creating hit songs. The action takes place in Manhattan’s legendary Brill Building, which was headquarters for music publishers, labels and agencies in the big band era of the ‘30s and ‘40s, and continued putting out the top pop sounds in the ‘50s and ‘60s with hit-makers like Carole

King, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, and Neil Diamond. The story is about a struggling music publisher and an ambitious young songwriter who make their way to the top of the charts before the Beatles come along and change the game. The DNA series will also include workshop productions of two non-musical plays: “The Tall Girls,” a drama by Meg Miroshnik, directed by Juliette Carrillo (Jan. 24–Feb. 3), brings the bright hope of a girls’ basketball team to a desolate town aptly named Poor Prairie. And “Brahman/i, A One-Hijra Stand-Up Comedy Show,” by Aditi Brennan Kapil, directed by Jeremy Cohen (Feb. 21–March 3), presents a precocious sixth-grader who talks about being “intersex,” or in the words of his traditional Indian aunt, a hijra. Each play will have eight performances in the Makineni Play Development Center. But wait, there’s more: six free readings (Feb. 7-9 and Feb. 15-16), ranging from local favorite Monique Gaffney’s “Being Henrietta,” about a poor black woman whose cancer cells became one of the most important tools in medicine, to the family-friendly “The Boy at the Edge of Everything,” by Australian playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer.

Campus crowd happily shares its tasty secret: Zanzibar Cafe BY KELLEY CARLSON anzibar Cafe on the UC San Diego campus plays a supporting role during performances at The Loft, but when classes are in session, it takes center stage. Tucked into a corner on the second floor of Price Center East, it’s one of the restaurant’s two locations in San Diego. While Zanzibar Cafe’s downtown site is more of a full-service bistro, the UCSD counterpart is designed for quicker service. Inside the modern establishment — an artsy space with sculptural lighting fixtures and paintings that grace peagreen walls — customers order food at the bar/counter, and it’s brought to them at their seats. Some people opt to relax on the benches loaded with green and white pillows, with their companions sitting opposite them on plush ottomans; others socialize around tables large and small. The music is ambient, ranging from hip-hop to indie. It’s often a morning stop for campus crawlers, who start their day with a cup of steaming coffee and fuel up on fare ranging from burritos and egg dishes to bagels and parfaits. As the weather warms and lunch hour approaches, many people take their entrees onto the communal patio that contains about a dozen tables, some of which are shaded by umbrellas. Midday dish offerings include the Mango Chicken Salad, a colorful combo of grilled chicken breast, sliced mango, cucumber, jicama, goat cheese, roasted almonds and sun-dried cherries on a bed of mixed greens, with a side of sun-dried cherry vinaigrette; and the Turkey and Bacon Melt with Roma tomato, pepper jack cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato aioli on sourdough bread. Among other popular choices are the Zbar Mac & Cheese with a cornmeal crust and a side salad; and a trio of Fish Tacos made with blackened tilapia, spicy cabbage slaw, mango salsa and house-made hot sauce on the side. Zanzibar’s social hour begins at 4 p.m., and the selections become simpler, such as fried pickles, a basket of fries and chicken nuggets, flatbread and hummus with pita. Beer and wine are served inside only. Tyler Vandertie, The Loft’s general manager, suggests customers sit at the bar and interact with the staff by asking questions. “You get the full

scope of what’s going on, and people likely won’t go wrong with any of the food items,” Vandertie said. For a special treat, stick around after the end of social hour and catch a show. Officially, Zanzibar closes at 6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, but on performance nights, it rearranges seating and then reopens for dinner and drinks at door time. The kitchen operates through the end of the show — usually between 11 p.m. and midnight — serving items from the lunch and social hour menus. Events — spotlighting everything from rock bands to movies to art shows — are held about six nights a week. About half of the shows require tickets, which can be bought ahead of

time or at the door. Regular events include “Blabbermouth,” an open mic night drawing poets, singers and comedians held the first Monday of each month; and “Reply All: Jazz,” staged the first Wednesdays. Vandertie credits owner Carole Janks for the unique atmosphere at Zanzibar. “Her energy trickles to everyone involved,” he said. “It’s a friendly environment, good food, good atmosphere.” For nonstudents planning to visit Zanzibar at The Loft, the most convenient parking is the Gilman Parking Structure, at Gilman and Russell drives. Permits are available at stations inside the structure for $2 an hour. To find Zanzibar, walk to an exit and follow the signs to Price Center East.

Artists prepare â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; works for Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Without Walls Festival BY DIANA SAENGER The chilly morning at the La Jolla Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor event on Jan. 11 was warmed by an exciting announcement about its inaugural Without Walls (WoW) Festival, set for venues throughout La Jolla, Oct. 3-6. Funded by the James Irvine Foundation, the oneof-a-kind 12 to 15 site-based works will be created by local, national and international artists who are already hard at work on their projects. The WoW Festival will be a mix of free and ticket events with a maximum ticket price of $25. Each event will include food trucks, drink venues, and salons featuring artist talks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My hope is that this festival puts us at the leading edge of site-specific art in the U.S. and that this festival is one of many,â&#x20AC;? said Playhouse Artist Director Christopher Ashley. He pointed out that more than 600 specific-site art festivals take place every year in Europe, but almost none occur in the United States. The Playhouse had good response to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WoW Festival and wanted to expand such productions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is work without

official walls that challenges the notions of form and place, and is predicated on the idea that the art is not the walls within which it happens, but created by artists sometimes responding to a place in a fresh way, and an exploration of the unexpected that comes out of location,â&#x20AC;? Ashley explained. The WoW Festival projects, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Arts San Diego (MCASD)

He is known for works of daring physicality, genre-defying performances, and a deep integration of new technologies. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;100% San Diego,â&#x20AC;? a customized, reality-based piece by the German theater group, Rimini Protokoll, will feature a look at San Diego Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population as represented by 100 people. Each participant will be chosen according to statistical

criteria, which reflects the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demographics from U.S. Census data. â&#x20AC;˘ Puppeteer Basil Twist, who recently worked on the Playhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yoshimi and the Pink Robots,â&#x20AC;? envisions his project as creatures coming from the Pacific Ocean onto the shores at La Jolla to profile the magic and vitality of the ocean. â&#x20AC;˘ The Polyglot Company from Australia will produce â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Built This City,â&#x20AC;? using families and kids to build a city out of cardboard boxes and then tear it down. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x153;KamchĂ tka,â&#x20AC;? an improvisation show that deals with the essence of theater in public space, will cross the borders between game and reality. It will revolve around eight characters who are lost in a city. They move together, each carrying a suitcase and a souvenir. â&#x20AC;˘ MCASD will present works by visual and performance artists James Luna, Kate Gilmore and Jacolby Satterwhite. In a new work commissioned by MCASD, Luna will take up the iconic image of the American Indian storyteller as a vehicle for his narratives of contemporary Indian life. His fireside stories incorporate multimedia projections and live mu-

‘The Brothers Size’ will heat up the stage at the Old Globe BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT One of the hottest names in theater these days is playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, a graduate of Yale School of Drama, member of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company, resident playwright at New York’s New Dramatists and London’s Royal Shakespeare Company, and a multiple award-winner on both sides of the Atlantic. Now “The Brothers Size,” for which he won the first New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, is coming to the Old Globe Theatre January 26. Originally staged at Yale, where the playwright, director Tea Alagi , and actor Gilbert Owuor were at school together, the play had its New York premiere in 2007, at the Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival. Part of McCraney’s “Brothers/Sisters” trilogy, three passionate, poetic pieces set in Louisiana’s bayou country that all started out at Yale, it has since been performed at theaters around the world. This will be its first showing in Southern California. Pulsing to the beat of African drums, “The Brothers Size” is about two brothers

Composer/percussionist Jonathan Melville Pratt (far left) and director Tea Alagic (center) with the cast of ‘The Brothers Size’: (from left) Antwayn Hopper, Okieriete Onaodowan and Gilbert Owuor. PHOTO/HENRY DIROCCO who are opposites in nature: the older one, Ogun, is the hardworking owner of an auto-repair shop, while the younger, Oshoosi, a newlyreleased ex-con, is a carefree drifter about to be shaken up by a visit from an old prison friend. The characters are contemporary, but they’re informed by West African mythology, with names derived from Yoruban deities:

Ogun, god of iron and metalwork; Oshoosi, a hunter-god and solitary seeker; and Elegba, god of mischief. Gilbert Owuor, who originated the part of Ogun at Yale, and played it in New York and Washington D.C., is no stranger to “The Brothers Size.” But this time, he’s performing with different actors. “That changes everything,” he said. “I have to

step away from the world I was used to and approach the play in reference to the new actors, as if it were the first time. I have to ask new questions, try to find new things—it’s amazing how, with good writing, you can endlessly find new things. It’s very exciting and refreshing.” Director Tea Alagic’s style is exciting too. “I had

the pleasure of working with her at Yale, doing everything from Brecht to Shakespeare to Tarrell McCraney,” Owuor said. “She’s very much about the manifestation of character through physicality, encouraging actors to truly embody their roles.” Part of the play is stylized movement, both athletic and dance-like, and the ever-present drumming. “It elevates everything to a different dimension,” Owuor said. “Our words are contemporary, but the music creates a sense of awesome power underneath. The drums are really another element, the African side, the side of worship and transcendence.” Composer/percussionist Jonathan Melville Pratt first worked with the play’s original cast in New York. Now, at the Globe, he too is making changes, rewriting the score to fit the new trio of actors. “The Brothers Size” is an unusual play about family, and what we do for those who are most important to us. “Bring someone you love to watch the play with you,” Owuor suggested. “If you have a brother, come with him.”

Production Update Shortly before the play was scheduled to open, Gilbert Owuor had to withdraw from the company due to a family emergency. The part of Ogun will be taken by Joshua Elijah Reese, who played the role in the West Coast premiere of ‘The Brother/Sister Plays’ at San Francisco’s Magic Theatre and most recently in a South African tour with Syracuse Stage.

Prior to Amgen, he held various management positions with Abbott Laboratories, including vice president, diagnostic products business group, and vice president, research and development, in the Diagnostics Division. He is also a director of Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. He received his Ph.D. in Physical Biochemistry (1970) from Purdue University and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago (1978). He also received an Honorary Doctor of Science from Purdue University in 1999. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by the piano music of Chopin and Mozart. I am amazed that a person could sit down at a piano and write such music starting with only a blank sheet of paper. I don’t play well, but when I play some of their music, I immediately recognize their genius. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I would invite four Nobel prize-winning physicists from the early 20th century who solved problems in quantum physics and four from the modern era to hear their discussion of why there is so much more mass

in the universe than we can explain with our current theories. What are you reading? Over the holidays I read “The Admirals” by Walter Borneman, “The Generals” by Thomas Ricks, and “Masters at War: Patton, Montgomery and Rommel” by Terry Brighton. I like reading military history and leadership. I am currently reading Tony La Russa’s “One Last Strike,” about the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals. It is a great book on leadership and management. What is it that you most dislike? Those who do not appreciate the quality of San Diego’s performing arts organizations as exemplified by music as presented by the San Diego Opera and the San Diego Symphony, and theater as presented by San Diego’s Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse. We do not need to go to New York for great music and theater. What is your most-prized possession? Things are not important to me and you cannot possess your friends. However music is precious to me, and my family’s Steinway piano helps my children and me bring music into our home. What wonderful craftsmanship by Steinway and such a beautiful sound! What do you do for fun? I like to travel with my family. We have been to Egypt, China, Turkey, England, France and Japan in the last four years. We were in Tokyo during the 9.0 Earthquake and that was frightening. We were in Egypt a few months before the revolution. Some of our friends think we are an early-warning system for undesirable world events and book travel in opposite directions. We plan to go to Africa on Safari soon. What is your motto or philosophy of life? My motto is a combination of two that I learned in the Cub Scouts and Boys Scouts: Be Prepared (Boy Scouts) and Do Your Best (Cub Scouts) What would be your dream vacation? Two weeks on Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island with my wife, children and grandchildren.

Cutler-Shaw exhibit at Athenaeum combines nature and science BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For the past 40 years, Joyce Cutler-Shaw has been exhibiting her drawings, artist’s books and installations at museums and libraries around the world. The artist, who has called La Jolla home since 1959, is currently showing an impressive selection of her slide-out, large-format and “tunnel” books at the Athenaeum, in “What Comes to Mind: Nature-Human Nature and Visual Translation.” At the Jan. 11 opening, more than 100 art-lovers gathered to admire the exhibit, which continues from the main gallery into the North Reading Room and includes a 10-foot-tall walkin book that super-sizes an image from Cutler-Shaw’s original “Garden of Wild Birds and Grasses.” Another, more permanent, version of this piece is on view at the gateway to Stonecrest Village, a housing development in San Diego, in the form of a pair of steel sculptures expressing the artist’s concern with the interplay of natural landscapes and built environments.

If you go What: ‘What Comes To Mind: Nature/Human Nature and Visual Translation by Joyce Cutler-Shaw’ When: On view 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays to Feb. 9. Closed Sundays, Mondays. Where: Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. Admission: Free Contact: (858) 4545872 Website: ljathenaeum. org “My subjects are human identity and the natural world,” she wrote in an artist’s statement. “My themes are evolution, survival and transformation: from reptile into bird, from mammal to human, and from human, perhaps, to humane.” Cutler-Shaw, who is artist-in-residence at UCSD School of Medicine, is fascinated with anatomy, and

the exhibit includes a small sample of her “Alphabet of Bones,” a unique calligraphy inspired by her detailed drawings of the leg bones of a messenger pigeon. But the most captivating works here are four wallmounted tunnel books, framed by her own brain scans, that invite the viewer to contemplate a loop of videotaped “memory pictures” within; it’s the artist’s way of showing how the brain accumulates images from the past, becoming a storehouse of personal and cultural memories. Also on display are “Limbs and Trunks,” threedimensional drawings underscoring the connections between humans and trees, and “What Shall We Do When the River Runs Dry,” wall-mounted slide-out books that act as a visual meditation on the dwindling supply of our most precious resource, water. Visitors are encouraged to open drawers and peer into cases to discover some of the artist’s interesting but lower-profile works. This is not CutlerShaw’s first show at the Ath-

Perform

enaeum, which has a number of her pieces in its permanent collection and was part of a four-library retrospective of her work in 2003. But it’s a show well worth seeing: “What Comes to Mind” will give you plenty to marvel at and think about.

Clockwise from right: A trio of architects: Rob Quigley, Janice Kay Batter and Michael Batter; Jim Stelluti and Carol Buckley; Anita Brynolf admires “The Stones: When the River Runs Dry.”

Nutrition and you: Meatless Mondays BY PEGGY KORODY, RD, CLT Happy New Year! This year I will be supporting Meatless Monday. This campaign is a non-profit public health initiative in association with Peggy Korody, RD, CLT the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and seeks to educate the public about the benefits of reducing meat consumption. Just one meatless day a week cuts one’s saturated fat intake by an impressive 15 percent, reducing your risk of chronic, preventable illness, as well as the costs associated with treatment. The occasional meatless meal can help to reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel. The UN estimates the meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of the man-made greenhouse gas emissions that accelerate climate changes. Also, the water needs for livestock are huge. It is estimated that it takes 1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water to produce a single pound of beef. Then there’s the fossil fuel needed to create beef as compared to plant based protein. On average it takes 54 calories of fossil fuel to generate 1 calorie of beef, and only 2-3 calories of fossil fuel to make 1 calorie of corn, wheat, or soybeans. Concerned about getting enough protein on Meatless Monday? No need, the latest USDA statistics show that men in the U.S. consume as much as 190 percent of their recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein, while women eat as much as 160 percent. The majority of protein in Americans diet is derived from meat and other animal sources. A quick reminder: 2-3 ounces of protein per meal will more than provide a person’s daily protein needs (RDA: women 40-50g = 1.4-1.8 oz., men 5060g = 1.8-2.1oz.) Here’s a short list of protein content for meatless protein (to see the full list visit the USDA National Nutrient Da-

tabase (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR18/nutrlist/sr18a203.pdf) 1 cup cooked oatmeal 1 cup Kellogg’s Special K 1 cup 2% Cottage Cheese 1 oz. almonds (24 nuts) 1 cup rice (white/brown)

6.08g 6.98g 31g 6.03g 5.00g

So why Mondays? Simply, Monday is the beginning of the week, which makes it a good time to set your nutritional goals for the week. With a Meatless Monday, you have a scheduled, recurring reminder to start your week off on a nutritious note. But don’t fret if Monday passes you by, you could always “go meatless one day a week”! Going meatless one day a week does not automatically make your diet healthier. Remember to balance your food choices, choose more healthy options and keep your calorie intake in check. Meatless Mondays offer an easy, effective reminder to start the week with a focus on health and nutrition. Will you join me? To get you started I have some (http://rd4health.com/category/recipes/) “meatless” recipes on my website and I am starting a Facebook Meatless Monday group, please join and let me know how you are doing and share any recipes you enjoyed. Are you wondering what a healthy diet looks like? I’ve got an app for that!

New Pacifica executive chef keeps cuisine classy and casual BY CLAIRE HARLIN Stephanie O’Mary-Berwald has a degree in English Literature, but it was during college nearly 15 years ago when she discovered her real career passion — food — that has carried her to where she is today, working as the new executive chef at one of Del Mar’s most well-known culinary institutions, Pacifica Del Mar. But it wasn’t easy getting there. As a sophomore at Columbia University in New York City, O’Mary-Berwald became inspired to step into the culinary world after talking to friends who worked in restaurants and loved their jobs. She was 19 and had no experience, but she set her heart on working in celebrity chef Todd English’s iconic New York restaurant Olives — a high-end venue that doesn’t just hire anyone. So, O’Mary-Berwald took an interesting approach — repeatedly calling every day for at least a month asking for a job. “They would just get sick of me calling and calling. They knew it was me, and every time they’d say to call back,” she said. “I was thinking at one point I would get someone who would say ‘Yes, there’s an opening.’” Finally a chef offered the student an unpaid position, and she happily worked for free in the kitchen for a year before being offered an hourly wage. “Back then, that’s the way you got into the business,” she said. “You just kind of slaved away.” Her experience training under English, who hosts the PBS travel series “Food Trip” and has authored numerous books, launched her into an education at the French Culinary Institute in New York and then heading up several highly coveted restaurants, from New York to Washington D.C. to Los Angeles. Joining the Pacifica Del Mar team last fall was a fitting transition for O’Mary-Berwald, and a big step for the restaurant that has sat atop the Del Mar Plaza for more than 20 years. Chris Idso had become known as the executive chef there for more than a decade, and his promotion to managing partner of the restaurant left his for-

Stephanie O’Mary-Berwald mer culinary position open for the right person. And when a hospitality industry headhunter brought O’Mary-Berwald to Pacifica, management knew they were putting the kitchen in the right hands. “It was perfect. Our backgrounds were similar and we talked about food in the same way,” said O’Mary-Berwald of Idso, adding that she had a lot to learn filling the shoes of such a long-standing culinary staple in the community. “We both like to work in high volume and still maintain the integrity of the food.” O’Mary-Berwald said many upscale eateries are low volume because it’s hard to produce high quality at a large volume, looking at every plate before it gets placed in front of a guest. At Pacifica, however, that’s the standard that has been set over the years. “You have to do high volume for a business to succeed, but as chefs, you have to do that same level of food that gets you excited,” she said. The daughter of a mother from Lima,

Peru, and father from Arkansas, O’Mary-Berwald said she was highly influenced by food — a mixture of Southern and Peruvian — growing up. But her own style has morphed into being very ingredient-driven and Italianinfluenced, she said. “I want people to enjoy their food in a casual environment, and I really compare what I do at Pacifica to the style of Del Mar itself — upscale but relaxed,” said O’Mary-Berwald. “That juxtaposition of things is good in that it’s classy, but still a beach town. You can come in wearing flip-flops and jeans and feel like you’re at home.” O’Mary-Berwald said she has been revamping the dessert menu at Pacifica, transitioning from the traditional cookie plate to macarons and adding some more modern yet nostalgic items such as red velvet cheesecake and a white almond milk panna cotta. She also said she is taking advantage of California’s year-round fresh ingredients by adding seasonal items like a kabocha squash ravioli. But one of the most important things about joining Pacifica is understanding that the customers have been coming back to the restaurant for years — just as many of the employees have been with the company for a decade or more. When you have a solid team and no imminent need for change, she said, you have to keep things fresh and new without taking away the Pacifica qualities that people have loved for so long. “It’s nice to have people who have been coming here for so long,” she said. “That’s why we keep a lot of the classics on the menu that will never change.” For more information, as well as daily specials ranging from $7 martinis to allnight happy hour, visit www.pacificadelmar.com.

Takeda California volunteers plant 1,000 trees in the Del Dios Gorge BY KAREN BILLING La Jolla-based business Takeda California had over 140 volunteers plant 1,000 trees in the Del Dios Gorge on Jan. 21. The Great Del Dios Planting Day was a joint effort by the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the San Dieguito River Park, replenishing an area once inhabited by non-native eucalyptus. Takeda California is a company that generates potential new medicines for treating cancer, inflammatory diseases and metabolic diseases. “Each and every day we try our best to make an impact or make life better for the patients, to treat their disease,” said Mathias Schmidt, vice president of biological science at Takeda. “This exercise is very similar to our daily work, digging hard to make an impact that we’ll maybe see, at the earliest, 10 years… It’s so inspiring to me. In all honesty not all the trees we plant today will survive just like some of our ideas for drugs. Only the strong ones come through and those are the ones that really make an impact.” The tree planting is the second part of the Del Dios Gorge Restoration Project. According to David O’Connor, conservation manager with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, the project is funded through the California Natural Resources Agency’s River Parkways program and seeks to enhance the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail and restore the San Dieguito River in the gorge below Lake Hodges Dam. Because of the difficult terrain, eucalyptus trees have been removed using helicopters and other large vehicles over the last few years. O’Connor said that while people may like the look of them, the eucalyptus trees are not native and create an “empty forest” – the trees can’t be used for food or shelter by native animals, its oils suppress the growth of other plants and the trees are incredibly fire-prone. “They literally explode when they catch fire,” O’Connor said. Their removal improves fire safety through the gorge, a primary traffic and evacuation route. Holes were drilled in the rocky terrain in advance to make it possible for 1,000 trees to be put into the earth in one morning. Many Takeda employees brought along family members and there were lots of children who woke up early to work — even on their day off of school.

“She was up and ready to come,” said Deepika Balakrishna of her daughter Niharika. “It’s a great day to get the kids out and get closer to nature.” Younger children also had an opportunity to go on a guided hike. The volunteers worked in teams; each planting a different type of plant to mimic the natural environment and restore what was there before. Teams planted willow, cottonwood, sycamore and coast live oak trees, as well as shrubs such as lemonade berry and California blackberry. These riparian plants are loved by insects, mammals and birds allowing the habitat to live, thrive and be sustainable, O’Connor said. “It’s amazing for them to have the experience of being out here and really being a part of it,” said Leana Bulay, river park interpretive ranger. “It helps give them a better appreciation for the park and the environment as a whole,” It was Takeda’s hope that the event will inspire other companies to see value in decreasing their environmental footprint and take action. “I’m really proud of Takeda’s

“Best of”

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Soup has truly evolved from its primitive beginnings, which coincided with the very origins of cooking to a pop cultural phenomenon. Soup has entered the culinary worlds of movies (The Marx Brothers’ “Duck Soup”), television (“Seinfeld’s” recalcitrant “Soup Nazi”), art (Andy Warhol’s mammoth Campbell’s Soup cans), and the literary world (“Stone Soup” and Jack Canfield’s inspirational series of “Chicken Soup for the Various Souls”). Soup has undergone remarkable transformations from feeding the hungry unemployed as an emblem of The Great Depression, to today’s mainstream restaurants specializing in eclectic liquid recipes. Since January is National Soup Month, we celebrate the mighty soup’s powers to ease colds and the flu, and warm the cockles of the hearts of those who come inside from a winter wonderland playground. Jewish Penicillin Chicken soup has been a miracle cure for all that ails you since Biblical times. The

Ancient Egyptians prescribed the broth as a cure for the common cold. A bowl of homemade chicken soup is still a favorite flu-buster sure to ease a ticklish throat, open those swollen sinuses, and replenish lost fluids from sneezing marathons. Chicken and matzo ball soup has transcended religious and cultural boundaries into the gustatory mainstream from delis and diners to upscale eateries offering riffs on the classic with kreplachs (Jewish wontons), potato dumplings, assorted root veggies and spices such as ginger and lemon verbena. Soup Du Jour From France we have enlivened our soup repertoire with liquid bliss from clear broths (bouillons and consommés) and thick or creamy ones (lobster bisques and vegetable purees) to divine stews (bouillabaisse) and classic French Onion. Other regional soups include haricots verts (green bean), chestnut, pumpkin and garlic. French soups are all loaded with seasonal herbs and bursting with joie de vivre. Mamma Mia! Some Mediterranean faves are hearty and rustic pasta e fagioli, (tomato broth with pasta and beans), vegetarian minestrone, Italian sausage and seafood cioppino. But the most beloved broth is the Italian Wedding Soup, a recipe with roots in ancient Rome, “marrying” robust flavors of beef and pork meatballs, aged cheeses, chopped escarole in a rich chicken broth. The name was probably derived from the protein load this

soup packs providing fortification for the wedding night. Chinese Chowders While many Asian broths have become nicely assimilated into American cuisine, like wonton, hot and sour, egg drop, shark fin and sizzling rice, other authentic recipes are virtual unknowns in the mainstream soup scene. Some exotics include, pig’s organ and Buddha Jumps over the Wall, a delicacy once used to entice monks to cross over to the carnivorous world. For sweet palates try some dessert soups like Sai Mai Lo of pearl tapioca, coconut and evaporated milk), and Hasma (a sweet appetizing blend — yah, right — of dried frog fallopian tubes). College Cuisine Ramen has been the survival soup for thousands of college-dorm dwellers throughout the land. Cheap and easy to whip up in minutes, creative students can concoct at least 30 versions for a change-up every day of the month. Toss in fermented cabbage and chili flakes for Korean Ramen. For a Louisiana gumbo, blend in Andouille sausage, shrimp, crab and okra. Want Italian? Use a tomato-based broth and chunks of eggplant. Exotic Thai versions, like Tom Yum, keep flu and colds from the dorm door with the flavors of curry, coconut milk, fish stock, lemon grass and kaffir lime. — For other soup recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr. com or visit www.FreeRangeClub.com

Spicy Soothing Chicken Soup Ingredients: 1 chicken (5 pounds) cut into pieces 2 whole onions, peeled 3 to 4 quarts spring water 1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 6 celery stalks cut into 2-inch chunks 1 whole, peeled celery root, halved 4 parsnips peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 8 fresh parsley sprigs, coarsely chopped 4 whole garlic cloves 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled Dash of turmeric Sea salt, cayenne and fresh cracked pepper to taste Method: In a large soup pot combine ingredients and bring to a boil. Skim off foam that rises to the top. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Uncover and simmer for another half hour. Strain the chicken and veggies from the soup (reserving the carrots). Re-

move the meat from the bones and return to the soup. Serve steamy with matzo balls.

Kids Korps/RSF Rotary blankets bring warmth and smiles to children in Mexico Kids Korps USA and the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club recently teamed up to bring smiles of happiness to hundreds of needy children from around the hills of Ensenada and Rosarita, Mexico. Rotarians traveled to Mexico this month to distribute thousands of pounds of food and blankets to the poorest of the poor. Among the many blankets handed out were 100 hand-made, colorful fleece blankets created by generous youth volunteers who wanted to make the lives of these poor children a little better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to do something for other kids who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have so much. I know how cold it is now and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine not having a warm, cuddly blanket to snuggle with,â&#x20AC;? said 12year-old Olivia Hamrick. Blanket making is a signature project at Kids Korps. Volunteers come together all year long to make these no-sew, cut and tie blankets for less fortunate children. For more information about blanket making or any of the hundreds of Kids Korps volunteer opportunities, please go to www.kidskorps.org.

Editor’s Note: The following letter was written to members of the College Board and submitted to this newspaper for publication. To whom it may concern, My name is Dustin Inada, and I am an inspired and passionate freshman physics major enrolled in University of California Santa Barbara’s College of Creative Studies. Last year I graduated from Torrey Pines High School, where I had the privilege of taking AP Physics B in my junior year and AP Physics C in my senior year. Last spring, after being accepted into UCSB, I received a phone call from one of the professors inviting me into the College of Creative Studies (CCS), a more select, more prestigious program than the honors program in UCSB’s College of Letters and Sciences. The professor had looked at the applicants with an intended physics major and personally called the ones she wished to invite to apply to the CCS program. I believe that my enrollment in AP Physics C, set my application apart from the hundreds of others. Not only did AP Physics C show me the beauty of physics and inspire me to major in it, but it also set my application apart from others and gave me an amazing opportunity I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. I am writing this letter to urge the College Board not to split AP Physics B into two courses so that students can continue taking AP Physics C in high school without having to overcome additional obstacles. By splitting AP Physics B into two courses, it will essentially make AP Physics C, an already intimidating class, unreachable by most students. If AP Physics B is split into two courses, students will have to decide before their sophomore year — and before they have studied any high school physics — that AP Physics C is a course they want to take in their senior year. This would be extremely difficult for almost any student. The majority of freshmen do not have their whole high school career planned out and taking two challenging science courses in one year would be almost impossible, especially with the other challenging courses that students take. Schools will only offer AP Physics C if there are enough students who plan to take the course. Thus, not only does splitting AP Physics B make it harder for students to take AP Physics C, but also schools are likely to eliminate the course altogether. According to David Baltimore, the president of the California Institute of Technology, “Science is the driver behind our economy. It always has been, and that’s true now more than ever.” The United States is lagging behind the rest of the world in math and science in pretty substantial ways, according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, so why would an organization fighting to “help people achieve higher levels of education” strip America of a remarkable science class that has given me as well and many other students the highest level of physics currently offered in high school? AP Physics C ties together calculus with real life concepts, something that sets this

Rock For Research benefit for American Cancer Society to be held Jan. 26 What do all rock stars have in common? A dream. Just like all rock stars, Rock for Research has a dream. Its dream is to create a stage for people to come together and take a stand against cancer by raising funds for research that will benefit the American Cancer Society. Those who have already been diagnosed with cancer have a dream as well. They dream that new medicines and innovative technologies will offer them longer lives and, one day, a cure. On Jan. 26, Rock for Research will be holding a benefit concert and silent auction to honor the lives of Ferne Walker and Dr. William Shoemaker (orthopedic surgeon from San Diego). These two individuals left behind incredible legacies and the event honors them by providing strength, encouragement and support for those who are continuing the fight against cancer. Take a stand against cancer on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 6:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. at the Marriott Del Mar Grand Ballroom. It will be a night to remember. 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales, donations and the silent auction will go directly to the American Cancer Society and will be specifically earmarked for research. Purchase tickets at www.rockforresearch.eventbrite.com

course apart from any other high school course. After seeing how the derivative of a velocity function would produce the acceleration function and the integral of it would produce the position function, I was hooked. Learning about maximums and minimums in calculus was somewhat interesting, but after seeing the maximum height of the trajectory of a projectile is simply when the derivative of the position function is equal to zero, I had a much firmer understanding of the calculus concept. This trend of seeing how math concepts I previously learned could be applied to physics problems made my intended major an easy decision. It also made me eager to learn new areas of math that were briefly introduced in AP Physics C. For example, how differential equations can be applied to falling objects, circuits, rockets, springs, and other physics concepts made me even more eager to learn and master differential equations, a daunting subject which I am now looking forward to. Splitting an already well-paced class into a two full year algebra based physics courses and essentially removing the more inspiring class out of high schools will eliminate the opportunity for future students to take the class that changed my life. I am sure other Torrey Pines alumni majoring in physics would also be writing about the poignant, positive impact this class made on them if they knew the AP Physics C course was in jeopardy. It was only by accident that I learned about this while visiting my high school physics teachers to tell them how much I appreciated their classes. The main reason I’m writing this letter is because earlier today I was talking to my younger brother, Noah, about the classes he is interested in taking at Torrey Pines. Noah is an equally if not more motivated, self-driven, and passionate student. When I was telling him about the classes he might be interested in taking and realizing he might not get the opportunity to take this life-changing course, I was deeply saddened that anyone would take this amazing opportunity away from someone with so much potential. All that said, it is devastating that the College Board, an organization claiming to fight for education, is planning to endanger or eliminate the class that not only inspired me to become a scientist, but also opened opportunities for me I didn’t even know about. With the growing need for science in any economy and with America’s educational gap in science compared with leading countries, it seems crucial to protect every opportunity given in this field, particularly one so interesting and inspiring as AP Physics C. Thank you, Dustin Inada

‘Japanese Farm Food’ cookbook author to appear at Chino Farm Nancy Singleton Hachisu is the next guest to the Good Earth/Great Chefs Series at The Chino Farm with her new cookbook “Japanese Farm Food.” This book signing and culinary event will be held on Sunday, Feb. 10, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Chino Farm. The event will also feature a cooking demonstration and tasting by Chef Singleton Hachisu, using fresh ingredients and winter vegetables from the farm. The cookbook offers a unique window into life on a Japanese farm through the simple, clear-flavored recipes cooked from family crops and other local organic products. Chino Farm, along with Milane Christiansen (founder and thirty-year owner of the former The Book Works) are honored to welcome Hachisu — chef, author, teacher and leader of Slow Food cooking for nearly 20 years. After graduating from Stanford, Hachisu moved from California to Japan in 1988 with the intention to stay for a year. Instead she fell in love with a farmer, the culture, and the food, and has made the country her home. Hachisu, her husband, and their three sons live in an 80-year-old traditional farmhouse on an organic farm in rural Japan. Chino Farm is located at 6123 Calzada Del Bosque, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067. Books can be preordered via email at greatchefsseries@gmail.com Note: Jonathan Waxman, who had to cancel his book signing earlier this year due to Hurricane Sandy, will be in town and will attend this event. He will also be signing copies of his cookbook “Italian, My Way.” The free event will be held outdoors, rain or shine.

recourse against the Trustee or Beneficiary. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date

has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 573-1965 or (714) 786-5351 or visit this Internet Web site www. priorityposting.com or www. noticesolutions.com using the file number assigned to this case 10-07017. Information about postponement that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. We are assisting the Beneficiary in the collection of a debt and any information we obtain will be used for that purpose whether received orally or in writing.

Ask the Plastic Surgeons By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. What is the facial area commonly referred to as the “drop zone”? A. When you reach your early 40s, you may notice you have a “drop zone,” i.e., the skin between your neck and jaw, which was once a taut right angle, is now dropping, or losing elasticity. The aging jaw and neck are a prevalent condition traditionally associated with middle age. Problems not only include sagging muscles and bulging fat, but also include the thinnest, crepiest skin on the body (apart from eyelid skin). A thin ropey material called platysma tends to split into a V-like formation of protruding cords. In our office, we treat this condition with a variety of less-invasive treatments that can alleviate the problem. We may suggest a Freshlift, liposuction or fat transfer as a means to combat what can be categorized as the first signs of aging in middle-aged patients. A double chin can often be reduced by liposuction and another alternative is injecting fat from the belly into the jaw line area to provide extra volume. This will include the bonus of your own stem cells. A Freshlift (or mid-facelift) conducted by the physicians in our office is a popular alternative to a full facelift, which can combat the “drop zone” condition. An ideal candidate for this procedure would be someone in their 40s or 50s who is not quite ready for a full face- and necklift, but is starting to notice some sagging in the jowl area. Along with the advantage of a shorter scar, this surgery usually has a quicker recovery compared to a full facelift. The mid-facelift focuses on a triangular area formed between the two corners of the eyes and the corner of the mouth. It’s an important area because the mid-face involves the muscles that convey emotion. Thus, a sagging mid-face makes the drooping of the mouth and chin more obvious. A mid-facelift improves nose-to-mouth lines, lifts sagging cheeks and flattens the cheek folds around the mouth, creating a younger, softer and rested look.

Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Some patients who complain of having a fleshy neck, jowls, or turkey wattle can benefit from Corset Platysmaplasty or necklift. It is often performed in conjunction other procedures resulting in a completely refreshed look. Your physician may recommend a combination of these procedures to attain the desired results. We strongly suggest a consultation by a board-certified plastic surgeon when contemplating your options. John Smoot, MD, is the former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years. Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plastic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. The practice has over 20 years of tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Any of the physicians can provide consultations on plastic surgery procedures and/or laser and skincare treatments at their Laser and Skincare Center and can be reached at their offices on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 587-9850 or via the web at sandiegoplastiscurgeryclinic.com.

Are you an ethical person? The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute to hold six-week course The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present “Living with Integrity: Navigating Everyday Ethical Dilemmas.” The course is accredited for 7.5 CLE legal ethics credits in the state of California. The institute’s new six-session Winter 2013 course will begin during the week of Feb. 4. Rabbi Levi Raskin of the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF will conduct the six-week course sessions at 7 p.m. on Mondays at The Morgan Run Club and Resort “There’s a lot of talk about ethics for government and big corporations, but almost every day we confront complex ethical decisions in our own relationships,” said Rabbi Zalman Abraham of JLI’s headquarters in New York. “From Nanny cams to our responsibilities to our parents, ‘Living with Integrity’ will provide a framework for making balanced decisions for ourselves and for the people we care about.” Packed with real-life scenarios, “Living with Integrity” challenges students to articulate their own opinions, while providing practical Talmudic wisdom to help them navigate through life’s inevitable ethical challenges. This course will not only provide the tools to make appropriate decisions, it will also enhance their interaction with family and friends. Like all previous JLI programs, “Living with Integrity” is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may call 858-756-7571 or visit www.jewishRSF.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in RSF in conjunction with the Chabad Jewish Center of RSF.
