Del Mar’s inaugural ‘Bing Crosby Season’ deemed a success
Community
BY KELLEY CARLSON It’s a wrap for Del Mar’s “Bing Crosby Season.” The old-school-Hollywood-themed meet — which opened Nov. 7 and ended Sunday, Nov. 30 — reported strong handle and attendance marks for 15 days of racing. It was the seaside oval’s first fall meeting in several decades. The daily average handle was a robust $10,410,497, which was a 15 percent increase over last year’s autumn meet at the now-defunct Betfair Hollywood Park in Inglewood. And the daily attendance was significantly higher: The average at Del Mar was 9,055 per afternoon, a 187 percent uptick from 2013 at Hollywood. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Harper said he didn’t really have set expectations going into the meet, but he had “a lot of curiosity,” and that the fall season was an experiment. “We had a very successful meet — not just the numbers, but it had a good feeling about it,” he said. “It was like the old days — it was not quite as crowded, people were having a good time, and racing was good.” For the Bing Crosby Season, the track changed its blue-and-gold summer scheme to a black-andgold theme, and staff members donned classic black vests and white shirts inSee SEASON page 28

RSF resident wins national blind golf championship BY DIANE Y. WELCH Blind golf is played all over the world and Rancho Santa Fe now boasts a blind golf national champion as one of its residents. Rancho Santa Fe resident Linda Port became the U.S. Blind Golf Association Championship low gross winner in her sight category last August. She posted a two-day total of 175 in the V1 B3 division — best sighted of the visually impaired — to claim the national championship award at a tournament held at Exeter Country Club in Rhode Island. She was vying for the title mostly against men. “There aren’t many women who compete in blind golf — it’s more of a man’s world,” said Port. “But that makes it more fun.” In September, Port went on to win second gross in her division at the USBGA Kentucky Regional Championship, shooting a two-day total of 173. Because of these recent accomplishments, she has been selected to participate in the IBGA 2015 Resmeyer See GOLF page 28

Restaurateur turns hand to reviving RSF street plantings BY KAREN BILLING One village business owner has taken it upon himself to put his love of gardening and plants to good use as a gift to Rancho Santa Fe. Mozy Jahanguiri, owner of Rancho Santa Fe Bistro, has not only filled his restaurant patio with greenery, he has also spruced up the entire stretch of the north side of Paseo Delicias and also given some love to the corner on La Granada. He has completed the project on his own time and with his own money. Mozy Jahanguiri, owner of Rancho Santa Fe Bistro, has “All of the planter boxes improved the plantings on the village streets. here looked really bad. I de- PHOTO BY KAREN BILLING cided to do the whole block,” Jahanguiri said. “Nobody asked me to do it I just took it upon myself because this is a beautiful city and it should look good.” He replaced dried-up planter boxes with water-saving succulents and plantings. While some spots have flourished, he said other spots, like the areas near La Granada, will need a couple of months to fill in. He expects one of the cactus plants to grow 10 feet. Jahanguiri purchased the restaurant, formerly the Pantry, in January 2013. He said his fresh fish and grass-fed beef dishes have brought diners in from Del Mar, Encinitas and Carlsbad, and business has doubled from last year. “They don’t feel like they’re coming to a restaurant, they feel like they’re at home,” he said of his cozy, gardenlike setting. For his next project, Jahanguiri will turn his attention to an underused plaza behind Rancho Santa Fe Estate & Fine Jewelry, in front of Pacific Sothebys and Willis Allen. Jahanguiri’s plan is to remove the planter that is there and replace it with a fountain, flowering plants, tables and chairs. He has already built an archway in the paseo next to his restaurant that leads back to the plaza that he hopes soon will be filled with flowers.

‘Bernadette’ humorously explores writer’s ‘irrational’ sense of failure BY JOE TASH Bernadette Fox is a mother, a transplanted Los Angeleno living in the damp confines of Seattle, and a once-promising architect who can’t create anymore because of the trauma of a “Huge Hideous Thing” she experienced. She’s also the main character of Maria Semple’s second novel, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” published in 2012 by Little, Brown and Co. When Bernadette writes a rambling, self-pitying email to her former teacher and mentor back in Los Angeles, he responds tersely: “Are you done? You can’t honestly believe any of this nonsense. People like you must create. If you don’t create, Bernadette, you will become a menace to society.” That line is a central theme of the book, said Semple, the featured speaker at the Nov. 21 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at The Grand Del Mar Resort. The novel, she said, is an autobiographical work that grew out of her own struggle with feelings of failure when her first novel, “This One Is Mine,” was not a commercial success. Semple admitted that her response was irrational, because many people would consider it a triumph simply to have a novel put in print by a prominent publishing house. “I couldn’t see that. I couldn’t experience it that way,” she said. Bernadette is a kind of alter ego to Semple — the character is devastated when an acclaimed house she designed is demolished. Like her character, Semple also moved to Seattle from Los Angeles, where she and her boyfriend, George Meyer, known for his work as a writer for “The Simpsons” animated TV show, now live with their daughter, 10-yearold Poppy. And Semple had her own “a-ha” moment during a call to her “ex-shrink” in Los Angeles, when he told her essentially the same thing Bernadette’s teacher wrote in his email —that if she didn’t write, she would become a menace to society.
Literary Society President Candace Humber, author Maria Semple, Chapter leader Gayle Allen. Photo/McKenzie Images The book is her imagined response to the question, “What would I be like in 15 years if I never wrote again?” Semple said in interview before her talk at the Literary Society luncheon. Although Bernadette isn’t the happiest or most well-adjusted person, the book is buoyed throughout by Semple’s sense of humor, honed during 15 years as a writer for such TV sitcoms as “Ellen,” “Mad About You” and “Arrested Development.” There are battles with a snarky neighbor, confessional emails to a “virtual personal assistant” in India, and a wild adventure in Antarctica, just to name a few of the book’s plot developments. Semple also takes a few potshots at her adopted hometown, where she first felt out of place, suffering from “culture shock,” but which she said she has since come to love.
Such as this gem: “There are two hairstyles here: short gray hair and long gray hair.” Or this one: “It’s like a hypnotist put everyone from Seattle in a collective trance. You are getting sleepy, when you wake up you will want to live only in a Craftsman house, the year won’t matter to you, all that will matter is that the walls will be thick, the windows tiny, the rooms dark, the ceilings low, and it will be poorly situated on the lot.” When Semple began writing the novel, it was in the first-person form, in Bernadette’s voice. But she said after a few dozen pages, she got sick of the character’s “insufferable” personality. So she began thinking about other ways of presenting the story, and hit on the epistolary form, a novel told through a series of letters or documents. In this case, most of the story is told through letters and emails between characters, along with a magazine article, medical reports and a ship captain’s log, among other documents. Semple said she relishes the challenges of overcoming obstacles during the writing process. To illustrate the point, she cited a passage in a letter that Bernadette wrote to her daughter, Bee. “I’m a creative problem-solver with good taste and a soft spot for logistical nightmares,” Bernadette writes. Semple said, “That’s me, that was my little embedded thing of how I view myself.” Semple, who also teaches writing and studies poetry with a private teacher in sessions at a local diner, said writing a novel entails emotional risk and a lot of hard work. But it also allows her to express her own personality, likes and dislikes in a way that her TV writing career did not. “I refer to writing novels as a tantrum of taste,” she said. “It’s all you. You make all the decisions.” For more on Semple, visit www.mariasemple.com. “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” is available on Amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble, and online at www.barnesandnoble. com.

Cathedral Catholic alumna thrives in variety of ways at West Point BY KAREN BILLING As local West Point senior Katrina Mecklenburg will tell you, the reason someone goes into the U.S. Military Academy and the reason they stay are often different. When the Cathedral Catholic alumna got into West Point, she wanted to go because she knew it was something she might regret if she didn’t — she didn’t want to look back and wonder what kind of person it would’ve made her. “Why I stayed? All of the unknowns were validated. I saw I became a better person, I loved the training that I was doing, and now I’m at a point where I can’t wait to graduate and I can’t wait to be in the Army and start out as an officer. I can’t imagine myself anywhere else,” said Mecklenburg, 21. Mecklenburg’s decision to go to West Point came as a surprise to her family, who didn’t have a history of military service outside of a grandparent Mecklenburg never knew. Her parents were supportive but hesitant and asked multiple times, “Are you sure you want to do this?” “I went from zero percent military knowledge Katrina Mecklenburg was captain to now holding the highest position you can hold, of West Point’s cross country team. being the captain of the cross country team, doing well academically and basically succeeding at West Point — and there’s not anything extraordinary or special about me except that I work hard,” Mecklenburg said. “It just shows if you’re willing to work hard, if you put in the effort, you’ll come out a stronger, better person.” A systems management major, which is essentially a business degree with a focus on quantitative analysis and systems engineering, Mecklenburg will graduate in the spring of 2015. As a West Point graduate, she has committed to five years’ active duty with the Army and three years as a reserve. Mecklenburg competes in cross country and track for the Black Knights and this season placed on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll with a GPA of 3.999. Mecklenburg said the “plebe” year, the first year at West Point, can be difficult. Plebes cannot talk when they’re outside, they have to walk along the wall and must keep their hands cupped.
Cathedral Catholic alumna Katrina Mecklenburg is in her senior year at West Point. Then there is the adjustment to the military lifestyle: formations at 6:30 a.m., being in uniform, marching together into the mess hall for meals, and taps at 11:30 p.m. every night to make sure the cadets are in their rooms. The cadets live in the barracks for all four years, a small simple space with strict regulations on how it is kept — no decorations on the walls. Mecklenburg said she was well-prepared to handle the change. But what she was most unprepared for was being so far away from her family for so long, returning home only for Christmas and summers. However, big chunks of her summers were taken up by both military and cross country training. This Thanksgiving was her first spent at home in three years, and she was only in San Diego on a special outreach trip. Summer is when most of the military training occurs, beginning with “Beast Barracks” for incoming cadets. See WEST POINT, page 27

Sci-fi writer Robinson kicks off UCSD environmental series with John Muir lecture BY WILL BOWEN Noted sci-fi writer and UCSD John Muir College alumnus Kim Stanley Robinson kicked off the new Environments in Motion: Understanding and Protecting Our Planet Lecture Series on Nov. 8, addressing a full house at Ledden Auditorium on the Muir College campus. Robinson, who is perhaps best known for his Mars Trilogy series “Red Mars,” “Green Mars” and “Blue Mars,” discussed the life and writings of John Muir, the Sierra Club’s founder and first president, and one of the world’s first environmentalists. The Environments in Motion lectures, which will be held periodically throughout the year, will feature important speakers addressing environmentally relevant topics. Muir College and its Division of Arts & Humanities will sponsor the series. Muir College Provost John Moore said, “The Environments in Motion lectures will include five to six talks on a variety of topics, such as water, global warming, and environmental justice.” The new dean of the Division of Arts & Humanities, Christina Della Colletta, noted, “We are delighted to start off with a talk by Kim Stanley Robinson, one of our alumni, whom we consider to be a very valuable asset to the university.” Robinson said he volunteered to talk about John Muir because he admires his environmental activism and, like Muir, is enchanted with the Sierras. “I love the Sierras and spend a lot of time hiking there. Many of the descriptions in the books of my Mars trilogy are taken directly from Kim Stanley my experience in the Sierras.” Robinson According to Robinson, John Muir grew up in Dunbar, Scotland, in a three-story white brick house. As a young man, he memorized the whole New Testament and two-thirds of the Old Testament. His favorite activity was climbing, then known as “scooching.” When he was 11 years old, Muir’s family moved to a farm in Wisconsin. Single-handed, Muir cleared 40 acres for the farm. In his spare time he read and designed all kinds of steampowered mechanical devices and contraptions that were more for looks than utility. At age 22, Muir enrolled in the University of Wisconsin, and when the Civil War broke out, he moved to Canada to avoid the conflict. After the war, Muir moved to Indianapolis, where he was temporarily blinded in a factory accident. The blinding had a profound effect on him, and when his sight returned, he set off on a thousand-mile walk down to the Gulf of Mexico, where he boarded a ship headed for the Amazon with the intention of studying its plants and animals. A bout with malaria changed his mind, and he took a sailing ship up to San Francisco. After reading a magazine article about Yosemite, he decided to walk there by crossing the great Central Valley on foot and ended up spending five years studying nature in the Sierras. The focus of his interest was the formation of the features of the mountains and valleys,

which he theorized were because of the chiseling action of glacier ice. His writings about Sierra glaciers, which changed the prevailing scientific notion, were characterized by a rare combination of technical precision and spiritual passion. These writings, which were published by his friend and confidant, Jean Carr, made him a famous public figure. Later in life, Muir founded the Sierra Club and wrote more about the Sierras, promoting the conservation and protection of its forests and animals. He once spent three days camping alone with President Theodore Roosevelt and undoubtedly influenced Roosevelt’s decision to create a system of national parks. Pat Adams, who has been the resident dean of Muir College for the past 37 years, attended the lecture and noted, “I learned a lot about the different aspects of Muir’s life that I was not familiar with.” Daryl DeVinney, a Revelle College graduate, was also at the lecture. He said he’s been a friend of Robinson’s since they were UCSD students on the fencing team, and often goes hiking with him in the Sierras. Maria Winters, a Muir College transfer student from Redlands, said, “Learning about John Muir at this lecture made me feel proud to be a John Muir student.” Added fellow undergraduate Amanda Dieterle, “It was a very refreshing to hear that Muir was a man who followed his passion and made a positive impact on the world.” For news about forthcoming lectures, visit the UCSD Division of Arts & Humanities website at http://dah.ucsd.edu.

Special gathering reunites Rancho Santa Fe School graduates The annual “Day After Turkey Day” reunion of graduates of R. Roger Rowe School was held at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on Friday, Nov. 28. Organized every year by Bibbi Herrmann Conner, the happy get-together always includes graduates, parents of graduates and former teachers. The late Dr. Roger Rowe is always a part of the celebration as well, his framed photograph on display and a part of the annual group photo. Yearbooks are pored over, memories shared and, as has become tradition, graduate and opera singer Sara Blann serenades the group in song. As many graduates have stayed in Rancho Santa Fe, it is a very special group of people. “This is a very non-judgmental room,” Herrmann Conner said. “No one cares about anything except ‘How are you?’” The reunion brought together several members of the classes of 1974 and 1980, as well as Kim Snyder, a graduate of the class of 1951. Snyder remembers attending the village school when it was just a two-room schoolhouse and the principal was Ellen Hamilton, the mother of actress Marion Ross from “Happy Days.” When Snyder was in fourth grade in 1948 there were only 34 children in the entire school. “It’s always such a fun gathering,” said Snyder, who still lives in Rancho Santa Fe. — Photos and report by Karen Billing

Nature photographer marks 40 years, warns against ‘bear selfies’ BY PAT SHERMAN While most people realize feeding bears is ill-advised (and illegal), the same standards of common sense apparently don’t apply when the opportunity arises to post a cool close-up of oneself with a grizzly in the background. Recently, officials with the U.S. Forest Service in South Lake Tahoe issued an official warning notifying park visitors to stop taking bear selfies — a growing social media trend referred to as #BearSelfies. Award-winning wildlife photographer and conservationist Thomas Mangelsen, who opened his Images of Nature gallery on Girard Avenue in La Jolla in 1991, says that in his 40 years in business, he’s never succumbed to the urge to snap a bear selfie, although he’s seen “hundreds� do so near his Jackson, Wyo., home on the edge of Grand Teton National Park. “I see lots of people here taking selfies with their iPads and iPhones, turning their backs on bears that are way too close,� he said. “They try to get closer because they want to see the

‘Catch of the Day’ (Brown Bear) by Thomas Mangelsen, Brooks Falls, Alaska (1988) bear in the frame, which is, quite frankly, not very bright. They don’t understand the real danger of that — and it is a real danger.� Although bears rarely attack people, Mangelsen said it does happen when they are taken by surprise, or if they feel their food source or young are threatened. He said most attacks on humans are over food, as was the case Oct. 27 when Wyoming Game and Fish Department officials shot and killed a young male grizzly known as “760,� who repeatedly ventured into developed areas. Critics — including Mangelsen, who is compiling a book about the family 760 was born into — contend the bruin did not meet the criteria for being killed.
The bear was shot after he ventured into a yard and pulled a hunter’s deer from a tree. When approached, 760 didn’t back down, though he also didn’t attack, Mangelsen noted. “I thought that was a mistake,â€? he said of the shooting. “It has spurred on online petition from people who want an explanation for the decision to euthanize the bear. ‌ It did what bears do — it protects its food. “There’s a lot of people who are fearful of wolves, bears or cougars. So much of it’s fear-based and not science-based.â€? Although Mangelsen often photographs his favorite four-legged lugs of fur — polar bears — in cozy, playful postures, he knows and respects that, in the bear kingdom, these Arctic wanderers are a top-tier threat for humans. “They’re quite different than grizzly or black bears,â€? he said. “They’re true carnivores. They live on meat (and) rarely eat grasses. ‌ If you’re on foot, you’re alone, and you’re in the Arctic, you’re potential meat.â€? Mangelsen said he has
‘Teton Rush Hour’ by Thomas Mangelsen, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming (2013) twice been stalked by polar bears while in the field. Once, while walking on the shores of the Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada, he and his girlfriend surprised a polar bear that was obscured by bushes. The bear followed the couple over the tundra in what would be Mangelsen’s longest walk back to a car, ever. “That was kind of scary,� he recalled, noting that if you encounter a bear in the wild, the best thing to do is to make yourself appear tall and yell; the worst is to run. “We didn’t have any bear-spray or a gun or anything,� he said. Mangelsen recalled another close call while on assignment for National Geographic, in which his close friend, the late La Jolla resident Spence Wilson (manager of The Cove Theatre), came to his rescue. A film crew was interviewing Mangelsen when he noticed a mother bear and three cubs approaching in the snowstorm, and began taking pictures. Wilson was standing watch in the distance, when he saw “a gnarly old bear with worn teeth� stalking the crew from the opposite direction. “We didn’t see it, but Spence saw it and he yelled at us,� Mangelsen recalled. “We dropped everything and scrambled up a staircase to the top of the buggy. So, Spencer kind of saved the day on that.� Among Mangelsen’s favorite bear shots are his image See PHOTOGRAPHER, page 26

Chrome polishes off field at Del Mar
The connections of California Chrome gather in the winner’s circle after the Hollywood Derby. Photos by Kelley Carlson
(Left) Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner California Chrome returned to the winner’s circle on Saturday, defeating five other sophomores en route to victory in the Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar. He kicked away from his rivals on the turn for home and finished 2 lengths in front of the filly Lexie Lou, who had earlier this year defeated males in the Queen’s Plate (Canada’s equivalent of the Kentucky Derby). Talco picked up the show spot, a length farther back. California Chrome, piloted by Victor Espinoza, completed the 1 1/8 miles on the turf in 1:47.88; it was his first race on the grass. “We’ve got a lot of options (for next year),” said trainer Art Sherman, a Rancho Bernardo resident. “Royal Ascot wants us to come over to England. They said, ‘We’ll treat you royally.’ And we’ve got Dubai (World Cup) in March. That’s another option. We’re going to definitely run him another year. And he’s a good shipper. He gets on an airplane like he’s a frequent flier.” The popular chestnut is owned by Steve Coburn and Perry Martin. Other winners during Del Mar’s closing weekend were La Tia (Grade I, $300,000 Matriarch Stakes), Finnegans Wake (Grade II, $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup), Kaigun (Grade II, $250,000 Seabiscuit Handicap), Conquest Typhoon (Grade III, $150,000 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes), Big Cazanova (Grade III, $200,000 Native Diver Stakes) and Ol’ Fashion Gal (Grade III, $150,000 Jimmy Durante Stakes).
CCA Envision Dance presents ‘L-O-V-E’
California Chrome finished two lengths ahead of his closest rival at the Hollywood Derby at Del Mar.
Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Dance Program presents its fall dance production, “L-O-V-E,” on Dec. 11-12 in the Proscenium Theater at the academy, 5951 Village Center Loop Road. Tracy Yates, Envision Dance teacher, describes the show, which features 180 student dancers, as focusing on all types of love. “Some pieces are really playful and fun — for example, one of the performances is set to Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga’s duet, ‘I Can’t Give You Anything But Love’ — and some are moving and serious.” Yates explained that the show also provides an opportunity for students to try their hand at choreography and “features five pieces by student choreographers who auditioned to have their pieces performed in the show — and they are fabulous!” A collaborative dance project is also in the works for spring — the Led Zeppelin Tribute will feature a collaboration among CCA students in dance, rock band and choir. Show times for “L-O-V-E” are at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $8 for students ($6 with ASB card) and $15 for nonstudents, and can be purchased by visiting http://cca-envision. org/events/ and clicking on the link for the Envision Dance production.

‘Nice Guy of the Year’ For 35 years, San Diego’s famed Nice Guys have helped people in need with “a hand up, not a handout.” They have no overhead, offices, or paid staff, and members (now numbering over 140) cover all expenses. Their charitable donations to date exceed $16 million, and their only reward is the gratification of helping those who need it. Annually, they honor a “Nice Guy of the Year” (NGoY) for exceptionally distinguished actions and generosity. On Nov. 8, at the downtown Marriott Marquis, the honoree was T. Denny Sanford. His foundation has given charitable donations totaling $1 billion, favoring breast cancer research (his mother died of the disease when he was just 4), the search for a diabetes cure, and other health issues. His Sanford Harmony Program teaches young children to appreciate the opposite gender; the goal is to ultimately reduce the divorce rate and the abuse rate. Kimberly Hunt and husband Billy Ray Smith emceed the event. The program included a proclamation of Denny Sanford Day in San Diego presented by Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “Papa” Doug Manchester (2013’s NGoY) introduced Sanford and presented the award. Sanford himself spoke at some length of his affection for Manchester and for Malin Burnham, men who led him to appreciate San Diego. He called his son’s family and several business associates to the stage to share the limelight, ending by bringing up his “partner for life,” Elizabeth Dewberry.

of a bear at the top of a waterfall near Anchorage, Alaska, jaws agape as a salmon leaps from the stream into its mouth — a shot that took a week of waiting to capture. “It happened so fast that I was never sure that I actually got the picture until a month later when I got the film back,” he said. “That has kind of become my iconic picture, my logo, which I use for my business cards and signage.” Such patience has paid off for Mangelsen, whose accolades include the BBC’s prestigious international Wildlife Photographer of the Year award (1994) for his picture of a polar bear being trailed by an Arctic fox. Arctic foxes often follow polar bears
through the winter season, living off their seal kills, Mangelsen explained. “If this bear isn’t a good hunter, then pretty much the fox has to find another one or it will starve to death,” he said, noting that, at times, the bears seem to welcome the companionship. “Every once in a while the polar bear will lunge at the fox, but it scampers away,” he said. Mangelsen sold his first portrait — a Canada goose in mid-flight — in 1975, opening his first store three years later in Jackson, Wyo. Visit Mangelsen.com.

WEST POINT continued from page 4 In her junior year, Mecklenburg served as an SLE (Summer Leaders Experience) squad leader, leading 12 high school juniors through a mini Beast training, “with less yelling,� she said. “A few of them are at West Point now, and some have come up to me and thanked me and said, ‘You’re one of the reasons I came,’� Mecklenburg said. “It was one of the most rewarding summer experiences I had.� Last summer, she also went to Israel for Academic Individual Advanced Development training, allowing her to become more culturally aware. It was her first time out of the country. This past summer, she went through Cadet Leader Development Training. The physically and mentally demanding training program is three weeks long and the cadets are in the field most of the time, hiking with 50-pound rucksacks through the moun-

tains, performing various missions and rotating leadership positions. Each cadet is expected to take over the platoon and delegate tasks to subordinates. In many cases, the cadets were operating on two to three hours of sleep a night. If the cadets don’t execute a mission properly, they don’t get to rest. On one mission, they had intelligence that an enemy was coming at a certain time and they had to fill 2,000 sandbags to prepare their defensive position before then. Because they had so many bags to fill, they did not complete their task until just as the attack was beginning — so they did not get to sleep. Some missions were designed to be long. In one case, Mecklenburg went 42 hours without sleep. “It was very challenging, but it was extremely rewarding,� she said. “I definitely came out of it more confident in my skills and my ability to lead in the future.� Also this past summer, Mecklenburg went through

Cadet Troop Leader Training, in which she got to job-shadow a captain adjunct general at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. This gave her the opportunity to see what a real-life job would be like before putting in for her branch preference. Along with 30 other cadets, she was able to experience a normal work day, a big departure for the cadets who have been living barracks life for the past three years. As captain of the cross country team, Mecklenburg just wrapped up her season, but her final indoor and outdoor track seasons are to come. In addition to school and military training, Mecklenburg is very busy with her running training, logging about 45 miles a week. Despite their program being in transition after losing their longtime coach, Mecklenburg was able to lead the girls team to a 14th-place finish in the region, which is better than they have placed since 2008. They also placed third in the Patriot League, beating Navy, which is a big coup. Mecklenburg loves to run and is fueled by the memory of friends she lost to tragedy. Just before her senior year at Cathedral in August 2010, two friends and former teammates, Amanda Post and Natalie Nield, died in a car accident that also left former teammate Derek Thomas seriously burned. The cross country team had been very close and it was a challenge for them to deal with the tragedies. But they pulled together, dedicating every race to their friends’ memories. Mecklenburg said Amanda and Natalie’s passion for running continues to drive her. “Whenever I start to feel weak or start to doubt myself, I imagine them running with me and run a little faster,� she said. “I see that a lot with people at West Point. When you go through something difficult in your life, you become stronger because of it and you believe you can overcome anything. There are a lot of cadets at West Point that have amazing stories.� After graduation, Mecklenburg will get a two-month leave in which she plans to travel to Europe. She then goes into Basic Officer Leaders Course training for six weeks to learn the fundamentals of her branch: adjunct general. She is hoping to be stationed in her choice locations of Hawaii or Colorado. Last week, she soaked up her time in San Diego and reflected on the commitments she has made and how far she has come. “Being home is such a great feeling. I didn’t appreciate it until I left,� Mecklenburg said. “I’m so glad that I did leave. I wouldn’t have grown as much.�

BY THOMAS CARTER, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH You think you are making a simple request when you encourage the man in your life to see a doctor, so his lack of interest or tendency to avoid scheduling an appointment may leave you bewildered. But your man is not alone. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, more than 1 out of 4 men wait as long as possible before going to see a doctor when they feel sick, are in pain or are concerned about their health. While women typically see a doctor regularly throughout their lives, men often do not make annual visits to the doctor until they are older. Women become comfortable at an earlier age talking candidly to their doctors about changes in their bodies as they begin menstruation, become pregnant or experience symptoms of menopause. Men, however, often end up in middle age with a lack of familiarity with the health care system. That’s not to say that men aren’t interested in taking care of their health, but you may have to educate them about the value of an occasional visit to the doctor. • Save him time and effort. Men will often use the excuse that they are too busy to go to the doctor. So take action and schedule an appointment for him at a convenient time, with a doctor you trust and who you think would be a good fit. Once in the office with the doctor, he can discuss how often he should schedule an appointment. You can even offer to go with him if he prefers not to go alone. • Help him prepare. Work with him on a list of questions he wants answered, along with any symptoms he’s experiencing, and his own medical history as well as his family’s. To get the most out of his visit, he should expect to talk honestly about his lifestyle, including diet, exercise, sleeping habits, smoking and alcohol consumption. • Provide a good reason to go. Men often don’t want to take time away from their careers and family to focus on their own health. Tell him that keeping him healthy is a priority for you or your family, especially if conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease or stroke run in his family. In addition, some health problems often have no symptoms — high blood pressure, high cholesterol or prostate problems may be silent, but deadly. • Use terms he will understand. Help him understand the importance of preventive care visits in his language. For example, going to the doctor for a simple check-up is much like an auto tune-up. It can make sure he is healthy or detect a possible issue at an early stage while it’s easily treatable. Putting off a doctor visit until he is in pain or at an advanced stage of a disease may make treating his condition that much more difficult or costly. In addition, remember to avoid nagging and speaking for him. He is the one who needs to establish a relationship, and build trust with, his doctor. Talking to his doctor about your concerns without him can backfire. It’s common for men to avoid the doctor, but patience, understanding and talking about it rationally will help. Once he finds a doctor he is comfortable with, the two of them can work together on next steps, including future follow-up visits. Thomas Carter, M.D., is an internal medicine physician at Scripps Clinic in Torrey Pines. For information or a physician referral, call 1-800-SCRIPPS.
Questions about ‘Garden Club Giveaway’ Questions: • Why is this agreement confidential? Why is the delay to vote so short? • Why have we received only pages 11, 12 and 13 of the agreement? • Why talk about “continued availability” when the lease of the Retail Shop and the very limited use of the property expire after seven years? • Why haven’t the members been offered to vote on hiring a manager to run the premises? • Where does the Chairman of the Board get the authority to sign a sale? The property was given in donation to the Garden Club as an integral part of the RSF Covenant. • What is behind this curious seven-year agreement? Who is financing the “Garden Club RSF LLC” represented by “Manager” Bruce Kleege? Takeover by the Rancho Santa Fe Association would have kept this property within the Covenant. This sale is not compatible with the intent of the donors. I hope someone will initiate a lawsuit against the sale or that the attorney general nixes it. This sale is a giveaway of community property and deprives us of a precious attribute. I vote “no.” Patricia G.

She inherited the condition from her father, who was legally blind from the age of 19, but who lived a full life until his passing at age 93. At this stage in the disease, Port is still able to play the game as a partially sighted player. But she does needs someone to find the ball after her hit.

Among the meet’s highlights that Harper cited were the appearance of Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner California Chrome (who won the Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby on Saturday); prominent trainers such as Mark Casse, H. Graham Motion and Christophe Clement shipping their horses across the country to compete in Del Mar’s stakes races; an average field of 8.35 horses per race; and sunny weather with temperatures averaging in the 70s. And “the best thing was the fact that there were absolutely no (major) injuries,” Harper said. “The turf course was terrific. I’ve nev-
vision, she can see the ball from the corner of her eye. But when she looks directly at the ball, it is hidden from sight. Port is able to strike the ball as her brain remembers its location. “It’s hard to explain,” she said. “It’s almost like I can see with my memory. It even surprises me.” Not wanting to overanalyze this phenomenon, Port reminds herself not to question the process, instead focusing on her swing. The Ports began golfing together when they joined The Vintage Club in Indian Wells in 1989. Linda Port took lessons until she felt confident enough to play on the course. No stranger to athletic competition — she played tennis in high school and college — Port was eager to improve her game to be able to compete. She became active in the Ladies Golf Association and is a past team captain of the Vintage Ladies Golf Team, winning long-drive honors numerous times. Port’s golfing career er seen it get this much use in 15 days; it held up.” The season’s training title went to Peter Miller, who had 15 victories, and the top rider was Victor Espinoza, who rode 12 winners. “Del Mar has proven to be a wonderful host for the lion’s share of the old Hollywood Park fall dates,” said Mike Pegram, chairman of the Thoroughbred Owners of California and a part-time Del Mar resident. “We had terrific racing, a first-class purse structure, enthusiastic crowds and a very positive response by all our horsemen to a winning environment.

They traveled extensively together, gathering research for the book, but in the end, Callaway opted not to have it published. Through family obligations, being responsible for aging parents and adult children who were producing grandchildren, Port returned to golf seriously only about three years ago, she said. Her sight had deteriorated significantly, and Port questioned whether she should continue to play golf at all. She took two years to consider competing as a blind golfer. But she accepted her situation and has been very happy with her decision to continue to play golf, which has given her the rare opportunity to be competitive forever, “as I can play with my own kind of people,” she said. oval will have the same “El Segundo sand” that’s used at Santa Anita racetrack in Arcadia. The 2015 fall meet will be slightly longer than this year’s, at five weeks, and Del Mar will be the California simulcast host for the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, which will be held at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky. Harper said there will be more of a focus on marketing, and that the track will expand upon its Opening Day theme — a “‘Gatsby’-meets-Hollywood feel.” “I’ve had people tell me that in a few years our fall meet is going to be one of the most desirable in the country,” Harper said. “They say it is going to grow in reputation, be a place where fans and horsemen are going to want to be. From what I’ve seen so far, I am not going to argue.”

Security experts offer tips for safer holidays Keep the Grinch and other cunning crooks away by following crime prevention advice from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department: Out and About • Shop during the day when possible and shop with a friend. • Be aware of your surroundings. • Don’t overload your arms with packages and bags while shopping. • Park in a well-lit area. • Have your keys out and ready when approaching your car. • Be aware of how you carry your purse or wallet. Would it be easy for someone to take it? • When out shopping, lock your car doors and take valuables with you. • When storing items purchased at the stores, place them out of sight. The best place is in a locked trunk. At Home • Always lock your doors and windows, especially at night and when you’re away. • Avoid opening doors to strangers. • Place gifts where they cannot be seen from outside your home. • Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Specialists offer a free security check to show vulnerabilities in your home.

Christmas classic goes solo at North Coast Rep
Dick Enberg to appear at Village Church
BY DIANA SAENGER It takes an enormous amount of talent and a great deal of self-confidence for an actor to take on a one-person performance portraying many characters. Actor James Leaming seems to have both, receiving many accolades for tackling 32 characters in his one-man “This Wonderful Life,” making its San Diego premiere Dec. 10-28 at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Leaming has performed in regional theater for years. His company, American Blues Theater, produced a radio version of the play written by Joe Landry, where Leaming played George Bailey, made famous by Jimmy Stewart in the 1946 Frank Capra film “It’s a Wonderful Life.” “The solo version is written by Steve Murray,” Leaming said. “His version really preserves the heart of the story. It was originally conceived by Mark Sedlock and adapted by Murray.” The play has been done many times, often with a lot of props, but Leaming uses a minimal number. He said he knows staging and what will make specific moments stand out. “I learned from radio
Dick Enberg, one of the greatest sports broadcasters of all time, will be appearing Jan. 25 as part of the Village Viewpoints program of the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. Enberg’s accomplishments are many. In 2015, he will be returning for his sixth season as the play-by-play voice for Padres television broadcasts. In 2012, he was part of the onair team that helped launch the new regional sports network FOX Sports San Diego. Prior to that launch, he was with CBS Sports for 11 years as the play-by-play voice for the network’s coverage of the NFL, college basketball and the U.S. Open Tennis Championship. He also contributed to coverage of the Masters and PGA Championship broadcasts during that time. Before joining CBS, Enberg spent 25 years at NBC Sports Dick Enberg will speak covering countless major events, after having begun his fullJan. 25 at the Village time broadcasting career in 1965 in Los Angeles. While in LA, his radio and television coverage of the L.A. Angels, UCLA Church in Rancho Santa Fe. basketball, and the L.A. Rams earned him the title of California Sportscaster of the Year on four occasions. A nearly 50-year broadcasting career has earned Enberg many accolades, including 14 Emmy awards, nine Sportscaster of the Year awards, the Ronald Reagan Media Award and the Victor Award, recognizing the top sportscaster of the past 40 years. Enberg holds the distinction of being the only person to win National Emmy awards as a sportscaster, a writer and a producer, and in 2000, he received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Emmy award. He is only the fourth sportscaster to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Enberg has been inducted into the National Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame and the National Sportscaster and Sportswriters Hall of Fame, as well as honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Rozelle Award), the National Basketball Hall of Fame (Gowdy Award) and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. In addition to his career in sports broadcasting, Enberg has hosted three game shows and lent his voice to animated cartoons and films. He has made appearances in films such as “Heaven Can Wait” and “The Naked Gun,” and has played himself in episodes of television programs such as “The King of Queens” and “CSI:NY.” Enberg is known for his signature phrase “Oh my!” which became the title of his autobiography. His warm and poignant style of communication shines in such works as “The Enberg Essays,” a collection of reflections about a Final Four basketball championship he covered, and in his play, “Coach: The Untold Story of College Basketball Legend Al McGuire,” which has toured throughout the country. The event will be held in the Fellowship Center of the Village Church on Jan. 25, 2015, with wine and hors d’oeuvres served beginning at 6 p.m. The program will begin at 6:30 and will include time for audience questions. Tickets go on sale Jan. 2 and may be purchased on-line at www.villageviewpoints.com.
plays that an audience’s imagination is much more powerful than anything I could bring onto the stage,” he said. “I’ve pared the show down to essential elements. I do my own sound effects, and because North Coast Rep’s stage is slightly smaller than most, it will be a very interesting reimagining. It’s always different; we never do the same show we did somewhere else. We do a show that comes alive in the new space.” Leaming’s wife, Carmen Roman, is directing, and his friend, Joe Huppert, who sometimes works at La Jolla Playhouse, will be adding new elements with visual projections. “There’s a lot of fun and simplicity to this show,” Leaming said. “From my point of view, it feels like we’re walking through the story together, and because I’m the narrator, sometimes I’ll depart from being a character to converse with the audience, describing places or situations. “The heart of this adaptation is really right on, and it’s not a cold impersonation of people, it’s the spirit of them … for me, that’s the joy of telling their story … like
the character, Mary, she’s strong and powerful.” The tale appeals to young and older audiences as it captures the heart of Americana. This production is sure to entertain and maybe reveal something new. “It’s a love affair with the movie,” said Leaming, “and if I’ve done it correctly, the first thing one is going to want to do afterward, is go watch the film again.” “It’s a Wonderful Life” runs Dec. 10-28 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets are $35-$40 at 858-481-1055 and www.northcoastrep. org.
Rats or gophers destroying your yard? Barn Owls! Tired of rodents gnawing on your fruit trees, gophers snatching your vegetation from below, or rats scuttling -up your downspout? Invite a couple of barn owls over and they’ll gobble upthe vermin at a rate of 2,000 a year. “Barn owls are incredibly widespread in America, so when you put up your nest box, you’ll start seeing barn owls take roost in them in short order, and then they’ll start going to work for you,” said Tom Stephan, master falconer, raptor expert and owner of Barn Owl Boxes in Ramona. “Using natural predators is more effective than conventional trapping or poisons, it’s economical, eco-friendly, and protects local wildlife,” he added. Tom and his team hand make every owl box out of Luan Mahogany panels made from recycled materials. For as little as $350.00 installed on a galvanized pole or in a tree. And buying a box is a one-time investment, they cost nothing to maintain. The Hoo’s Hoo box comes with an installed camera and is one of their best sellers. Just connect the camera to your TV or computer and enjoy the best reality show you’ll ever see, watching the babies is really fun! Tom’s passion for birds of prey began in 1962 while doing research for a wild animal report in second grade. This led to much climbing of trees to better observe birds of prey, which led to a career as a tree trimmer (and later a certified arborist). While bidding a job, he noticed an improperly hung owl box in a potential client’s yard. He offered to install it at the proper height and angle needed to attract owls, and three days later the lady was thrilled to report that a pair of barn owls had begun nesting in it. “This was the first owl nest box I installed,” said Tom. “Now, nearly 20 years later I have over 28,000 under my belt. I spend my days sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge of nature and its in habitants with people around the world. This is my definition of success.”

Local actress performs three roles in ‘Irving Berlin’s White Christmas’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like sunny skies, “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” is becoming a San Diego holiday tradition. Beginning Dec. 11, San Diego Musical Theatre will present the holiday classic for the third consecutive year, this time at North Park Theatre. “It’s such a classic, and everybody loves it,” said local actress Debra Wanger, who has three roles in the show. “It’s become a holiday tradition.” Based on the 1954 musical film of the same name, “White Christmas” features 17 Irving Berlin songs performed by a live 22-piece orchestra. In the musical, set after World War II, veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis follow a duo of singing sisters on their way to a Christmas show at a Vermont lodge. Directed by Todd Nielsen and choreographed by Lisa Debra Wanger began Hopkins, the show features well-known standards, including acting in community plays “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and at age 9. COURTESY PHOTO “White Christmas.” “San Diego Musical Theatre produces some really great, classic musicals,” said Wanger, who has lived locally since 2000. “Not a lot of theaters are doing big shows with a full orchestra. It’s almost unheard-of these days, and it’s a great luxury.” A Chicago native, Wanger began acting in school and community plays when she was 9 years old. She studied musical theater at Cincinnati Conservatory and earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Tufts University. From Boston to Los Angeles, Wanger has performed on stages across the country. When she moved to Los Angeles in 1994, she took a brief hiatus from acting to launch a career as a talent manager. Wanger returned to the stage when she relocated to San Diego in 1997. Since then, she has performed for audiences in productions at Cygnet Theatre, Intrepid Shakespeare Company, La Jolla Stage Company, Lyric Opera San Diego, Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company, New Village Arts Theatre, North Coast Repertory Theatre and San Diego Musical Theatre, among others. She also started a family and has three children, 9-year-old twins and a 3-year-old. Wanger also returned to school, earning her master’s in musical theater from San Diego State University in 2000. She has taught acting at SDSU and J* Company Youth Theatre, and served as youth choir director at Temple Adat Shalom, where she also directed stage productions. Recently, she established a drama program at The Children’s School in La Jolla.
“As a busy mom with three little kids, this is my grown-up playtime,” said Wanger about her acting career. “It’s really fun to get to be with grown-ups but not act too serious and not be too grown-up. This time is just for me. I get to be social and I get to pretend, but no Barbies are involved.” This is Wanger’s third production at San Diego Musical Theatre, having
previously been cast in the theater’s adaptations of “Footloose” and “The Sound of Music.” She portrays a train passenger, secretary and company seamstress in the production. “I’m doing triple duty, but it’s fun to sink my teeth into three different parts and see how I can make them different and fun,” Wanger said. “Irving Berlin’s White
Christmas” runs Dec. 11-21 at the North Park Theatre, 2891 University Ave. in San Diego. Tickets range from $42$72. Children 16 and under save $10. Discounts are also available for seniors and students. For information or to purchase tickets, call 858560-5740 or visit www. sdmt.org.

Paydirt! Map exhibit highlights gold rushes in California and beyond SELECTION OF 19TH CENTURY GOLD RUSH MAPS • Where: Map and Atlas Museum of La Jolla, 7825 Fay Ave. (lower level) • Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, and first and third Saturdays through Sept. 2015 • Admission: Free • Info:LaJollaMapMuseum.org
BY PAT SHERMAN A new exhibit at the Map and Atlas Museum of La Jolla is giving visitors a historical glimpse at the fever that drove hordes of prospectors West to settle what would become known as the “Golden State.” Although the exhibit was initially conceived to highlight only maps from the California Gold Rush (1848-1855), museum director Richard Cloward said he and museum founder Mike Stone discovered there were gold rushes in other parts of the world throughout the 19th century, including in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Colorado. Gold rushes were marked by an exuberant belief that hearty, entrepreneurial individuals willing to travel and get their hands dirty could achieve income mobility virtually overnight. Rushes helped spur immigration that often led to permanent settlement of new regions and defined part of the culture of the Australian and North American frontiers. At a time when the world’s currency was based on gold, the newly mined gold provided widespread economic stim-
ulus. “Australians who came to the California Gold Rush turned around and went home” for the Australian gold rushes of 1851-1906, Cloward said, adding that some prospecting Aussies lived long enough to return to northwestern Canada for the Yukon/Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-1899. The main room of the exhibit features six maps of the California Gold Rush, some which could be folded up to fit in a prospector’s pocket. The exhibit also features scales used to weigh gold, an example of a stock certificate and five privately minted gold coins from the era. “When the California Gold Rush hit, there was no mint in California, so these private coinage companies were set up and you would go to the assayer with your poke of gold dust or nuggets,” Cloward explained. “The assayer would take a pinch for himself and melt the rest of the gold down and cast it into coins. … It was all done privately until the San Francisco Mint was set up” in 1854. The exhibit also features modern tourist maps, including one showing all the cities

along state Route 49 (the “Mother Lode Highway”), where cities still promote their historical affiliations with the California Gold Rush, Cloward said. “What we try to do is give a little education, a little entertainment,” Cloward said, adding that though there was a minor gold rush in Julian (east of San Diego), there are largely only government survey maps showing the locations of the mines. A sample claim from the Cornucopia Lode of Custer County, Colo., is also featured. “If you wanted to set a claim, you would go to a United States General Land Office and you’d file your claim,” Cloward said. “When the railroad was going (through), they’d put offices nearby. Think about it. The government was selling land they didn’t own and making money at it.” A map of the gold rush region of Klondike from 1897 on display was produced by wellSee MAP, page B30

Local couple share enthusiasm for equines • He’s a jockey at Del Mar and Santa Anita; she’s a prestigious artist who specializes in horse portraits BY JULIE SARNO Most jockeys live in the Los Angeles area and rent a place locally during the summer meet at Del Mar. For years, jockey Joe Steiner has owned a residence in Solana Beach. Now with two race meets at Del Mar, he can enjoy the comforts of home without long commutes for an additional month. Steiner and his wife, Dagmar Galleithner Steiner, enjoy the North County lifestyle. “It’s a blessing to be here. It’s such a great place to live,” said Steiner. He and Dagmar, an artist, married on April 17, 2013. Dagmar grew up in a small town in Bavaria but had lived in the United States when her father, a flight test engineer, was at Edwards Air Force Base/ NASA. She and Joe met in 2011 at Santa Anita Park, while Dagmar was at the track, pursuing her work as an equine artist. She has painted horses since 1996. Her current project is a series of images for Old Friends, a

She was asked to paint Shared Belief, the 2014 winner of the $1 Million Pacific Classic (G1), Del Mar’s premier race. Each year, an artist is commissioned to paint the winner, and the paintings hang in a hallway on the first floor of the track’s Clubhouse. How
did she win the commission? “During the races, I spend time with Chris Applin in the the track barbershop,” she said. “One day, Joe Harper (track president and CEO) came in, and I showed him paintings I was doing for Old Friends. The next thing I knew, I had the commission. It’s a huge honor. I still pinch myself every day.” She prefers pencil and pastels for her work “because you can show so much detail without the drying time.” While she has spent much time recently depicting horses, she also enjoys portraying dogs and people. Her husband’s schedule gives Dagmar, who studied architecture and art history, time to focus on her work. In addition to his work as a jockey in the afternoons, Joe Steiner also shows up in the mornings to work horses for trainers. Many trainers stable year-round at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, so he

‘Body Practices’ exhibit at UCSD explores real and virtual presence BY WILL BOWEN Bodies! We are obsessed with them. How they look. How they dress. What they are doing. We are obsessed with both the real, physical bodies of our material life/world and the online imaginary bodies that inhabit the virtual worlds of the Internet and other forms of electronic media. And we are fascinated with the burgeoning world where real bodies interact with virtual bodies: like when we wrestle with the controller playing a video game where soldiers shoot aliens, or when we sing along with a virtual cartoon figure like Hatsune Miku, or when we hook up to a medical device that monitors our vital signs and creates data-driven images of our bodily processes. This fascination is addressed in a new art exhibition, “Body Practices,” up through Jan. 9 at the Calit2 Art Gallery on the UCSD campus. The exhibition is a survey of projects that explore real and virtual bodies and the space of their interaction. Trish Stone, who fol-
lowed up on suggestions from the art committee that guides gallery activities, curated it. While introducing the show, Stone said the exhibition features the work of eight artists and “cuts across the disciplines of art, music, theater, media and design ... and considers how bodies may be copied, downloaded, projected onto, manipulated and encoded with multiple layers of meaning.” Housed in a small gallery space on the first floor of the Calit2 building, the show consists of five videos, four large color prints from an Internet site, two paintings, and a row of cellphones used as “Transborder Immigrant Tools.” Opening night featured a panel discussion and reception with Stone and professors Ricardo Dominguez, Ursula Damm, Brett Stalbaum and Katarina Rosenberger. UCSD visual arts professor Dominguez showed a clip from the documentary “The Tinaja Trail and the Transborder Immigrant Tool,” made by Bryce Clayton Newell, an attorney working on his Ph.D. at the
D A N A
University of Washington Information School. Transborder Immigrant Tools are actually inexpensive cellphones programmed with GPS, photographs and poetry created by Dominguez’s wife, Amy Sara Carroll, a professor at the University of Michigan. The phones, which were misunderstood by many and subjected to local and federal investigation, were intended to be humanitarian art objects to help border-crossers find GPS-mapped water caches so they would not die of thirst in the desert. In reality, they never saw use. The phones were developed and programmed by Dominguez and an art collective called The Electronic Disturbance Theater/b.a.n.g lab. Dominguez and the phones were investigated by UCSD campus administration, politicians, and the FBI, who thought they might be used in illegal activities or be stolen/copied by terrorists who would use them to secretly cross the border from Mexico. In the end, all charges against Dominguez were dropped. Damm, an art professor at the Bauhaus Institute in
P O I N T
Transborder Immigrant Tools Weimar, Germany, flew in for the opening to explain her two video pieces in the show. One documents how Damm was hooked up with electrodes to a very old oak tree in the Weimar Forest, which passed an amplified signal from the tree through her body from her hair out her toes. UCSD music professor Rosenberger recorded the signals that passed through Damm’s body,
turned them into pitches, and used the pitches to create a musical score. Damm said the experience of being connected to the tree was “very relaxing, emptied my head of all thoughts, and led me to a state of quietude … I learned to ask the trees ... can I give all my thoughts to you? They always said yes.” Damm’s second video was a computer-enhanced surveillance video of a street intersection where images were artistically transformed, such as by adding afterimages to create a moving painting. The video also included a musical score. It led the viewer to consider the difference between viewing a traditional static painting and a moving video portrait where time and movement play a factor. UCSD Visual Arts lecturer Stalbaum followed up on the Transborder Immigrant Tool episode stating, “I am here to throw down the gantlet. I call upon members of the UCSD administration to explain publicly the reasoning that led them to pursue an investigation of this tool and subject Professor Dominguez to hardship and

Patriot Profiles: ‘You wouldn’t last five minutes in the Marine Corps’ • First sergeant went from ‘small and wimpy’ to becoming senior enlisted adviser in a supply battalion This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Although the world may take little note of one Marine, his or her role is no less diminished. Willing to lead and be led, learn, toil — even wash themselves in combat’s blood — each Marine is an integral cog in the human freedom machine. First Sgt. Christina Ann Grantham had no intention of fitting into that. She was her high school salutatorian, and a local news reporter asked her, “You’re so accomplished — what are you going to do?” “I’m going to go out and enlist in the Marines,” she said jokingly, because her father was a Marine and she thought that would be funny. Grantham went on to college to be a teacher. After her first year, she found it boring — not challenging or interesting, and no laughing matter. The mid-’90s Marine Corps advertising campaign worked on her. A knight wielding a sword and a guy climbing a mountain appealed because she saw herself as “small and kind of wimpy.” She thought, “You wouldn’t last five minutes in the Marine Corps.” “Maybe you can be one of us,” said an ad slogan. She said, “Oh, yeah.” On Nov. 10, 1997, the Marine Corps’ anniversary, Grantham signed up. Now a first sergeant in Ammunition Company, 1st Supply Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, Grantham is a senior enlisted adviser to the Company Commander (CO). “You’re his right-hand person,” she said. She’s the advocate for all enlisted Marines. “I’m in charge of having the pulse on (their) morale and welfare.” Add daily personnel accountability — reporting anyone missing and why. “Marine first sergeants kind of have a bad rap,” she adds. “We’re in charge of getting you in trouble — you being a junior Marine. I process non-judicial punishment packages. If somebody does something wrong, I’m the person they tell. It’s an administrative process to ensure the CO maintains good order and discipline. These things sounds so military and clinical, but really what we’re all about is making sure people are taken care of. These Marines will work so hard for you, if they believe you care about them.” Grantham conducts “intake interviews”’ and keeps a box of 5-inch-by-8-inch cards to help her remember the Marines she’s supervising. Head down, jotting notes at the end of a long day, she asked one of her “5x8ers” a favorite question: “If you found out you had cancer tomorrow, who would you call?” He replied, “Well, First Sergeant, I’d call medical.” She laughed, realizing she asked that question all wrong. “Not all of them are going to call their mom or their dad. They’re going to call a girl-

The countdown is on for the grand opening of “Coast to Cactus in Southern California,” an immersive, permanent exhibition debuting Jan. 17, 2015, at the San Diego Natural History Museum. The exhibition, which will be the first major permanent exhibition to open in Balboa Park during the 2015 Centennial Celebration, elegantly tells the story of this amazing region. In keeping with the Museum’s binational focus, all information within Coast to Cactus is presented in both English and Spanish. Some of the exhibition’s main attractions include: • An oversized replica of a segment of mud from a local tidal flat that young visitors can crawl inside to discover what animals live there and how they survive tough intertidal conditions. • A re-creation of a mid-century residential patio overlooking an urban San Diego canyon depicting how humans share space with nature, bringing to light the impact of introduced species on native plants and animals. • A virtual storybook that tells the tale of the dynamic chaparral ecosystem and how periodic fires are a natural part of life in this signature California habitat. • A multimedia experience that includes an Airstream Bambi trailer that transports visitors to the desert at nighttime, when the sun goes down, temperatures drop, and the seemingly barren landscape springs to life as animals come out to hunt. “Coast to Cactus” will be included with general admission and free for members.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Roma Market offers Italian specialty goods at new location BY EMILY SORENSEN North County now has a new place to find Italian specialty goods with Roma Market, which opened Sunday, Nov. 23, at 1054 W. Valley Parkway in Escondido. The new neighborhood market features, in addition to Italian speciality items, a regular market, and a deli that serves meats and cheese, as well as hot dishes, sandwiches, pizza, gelato and coffee. Opening Roma Market is a return to family tradition for owner Peter Impala, whose grandfather opened the original Roma Market in Alhambra in 1953. “I grew up in the produce and grocery business,” said Impala. “Roma Market has specialized in providing Italian specialty items since the 1950s.” The store later moved to Pasadena, where it continues to operate, run by Rosario Mazzeo. The Impala family’s multigenerational grocery legacy began with his grandfather Peter’s “California Fruit Exchange,” which opened in Boston at the end of World War I. Impala, who lives in Poway, said he decided to go back into the grocery business where he lives. “There’s really a need for this kind of market in North County,” he said. “We’re filling a niche.” The business will be holding its grand opening after the first of the year, when the holiday rush dies down. The market features fresh produce and dairy along with its Italian specialties, such as pastas, wines and more. “We have a lot of imported products that are unique to our operation and will be new to San Diego County,” said Impala. Roma Market has a complete kitchen, which allows it
“We want to be able to cater to local businesses for lunch.” Impala said Roma Market also features several signature sandwiches that are popular at the Pasadena store, including one known as “the sandwich.” Roma Market has also partnered with Papa Luna’s Empanadas, and features fresh empanadas from the San Diego-based restaurant chain, which has locations in downtown San Diego, Pacific Beach and Poway. Impala said his mother was a gourmet cook who worked in catering, something he helped her with. “It’s food, food, food for me,” he said. “I grew up in it.

Former local resident takes readers on after-life adventure in ‘Hope Mother’ namillo said. Although some have found hope in “The Hope Mother,” Scognamillo said the story is not intended as a self-help or religion-based book. Rather, it’s an adventure book — a story of life and death, loss and love.
“I’m not preaching to anybody,” she said. “It’s just a book about love, and how we hope when we die (that) we’ll see the people we love who died before us.” “The Hope Mother” is available from Amazon (www.amazon.com) and Barnes & Noble (www.barnesandnoble.com).

I believe we go on somehow.” A writer all her life, Scognamillo joined the Palm Springs Writers Guild after she and her husband relocated to Rancho Mirage near Palm Springs last year. She won two of the guild’s monthly writing contests within the first four months, which gave her the confidence she needed to write her debut novel. “I met a lot of authors, and they really encouraged me,” Scognamillo said. She came up with the concept while traveling with her husband one day.
‘The Hope Mother’ by Judy Scognamillo deals with the afterlife. Six months later, she had her first draft. “I wrote it because I just really had to,” said Scognamillo, who is already writing a sequel. “It was inside me, and it had to come out.” Having overcome loss, Scognamillo’s experiences shine through in the story. The book has already made an impact on some readers, she said. Inspired by the book, a grieving mother reached out to Scognamillo on Facebook. The woman had lost her son to cancer two years ago. “I wanted to bring hope and help to people,” Scog-

BY KRISTINA HOUCK In her debut novel, former local resident Judy Scognamillo takes readers on an afterlife adventure. “The Hope Mother” centers on a woman who dies in an accident and who goes on to heaven. After death, Pam learns she is a “Hope Mother,” the name given to women who have lost a baby. In order to move on in the afterlife, she must search heaven for her “Angel Babies.” “It’s a story of how love conquers evil,” said Scognamillo, who lived locally for 25 years before relocating to Rancho Mirage last year. Although the fictional book is not based on Scognamillo’s life, some of the story details reflect her experiences. Like the main character, Scognamillo grew up in North Dakota and moved to San Diego later in life. She has also suffered two miscarriages. “It was very painful, so I know what people with similar experiences have gone through,” said Scognamillo, who also lost her sister while working on the project. “I really do believe

16th annual Crystal Ball raises more than $300,000 for Casa de Amparo Casa de Amparo held its 16th annual Crystal Ball Gala on Nov. 1 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, hosting 300 generous guests from all over San Diego County and raised more than $300,000. The elegant evening kicked off with a champagne greeting and featured a martini bar, seafood bar, silent and live auctions, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and dinner created by Pamplemousse Grille, and dancing to a top local San Diego Band, Something Simple. Special guest speakers were Honorary Chair Jim Minarik of DEI Holdings Inc., Executive Director Tamara Fleck-Myers, LMFT of Casa de Amparo, and former Casa de Amparo client Yadira Menendez. Yadira courageously shared her story of overcoming the trauma of abuse and drug addiction. She grew up in San Diego and witnessed abuse in her home. Her alcoholic father attempted suicide and beat her mother and brother. She was molested, and as a teen started taking drugs. Because of her drug addiction, five of her children were removed from her and placed in foster care. But Yadira was determined to end the cycle of abuse in her family and care for her youngest daughter, Anabelle. She completed a residential family treatment program and participated in Casa de Amparo’s Family Visitation program. Yadira Menendez “I know from the deepest part of my heart, Casa de Amparo helped me stay clean, and that helped me get my daughter back,” said Menendez. “Now I would like to do something for the community like Casa de Amparo does. I would like to help another addict, mother, or child.” Today, Yadira is drug-free and caring for her 2-year-old daughter. The event received enormous support from 36 passionate patrons, underwriters, and inkind donors. “We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of all those who are making a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children,” said Kathy Karpé, director of development at Casa de Amparo. “We are so happy to celebrate as a community the brighter futures for our Casa Kids.” Visit www.casadeamparo.org.

MCAS Marines join others worldwide in honoring Corps’ birthday BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Since its founding on Nov. 10, 1775, the United States Marine Corps has written its own story, compiling account after account of uniquely American service, sacrifice, and valor. To celebrate their legacy, Marines and friends gathered at the MCAS Miramar parade deck for the traditional Marine Corps Birthday cake-cutting ceremony. After the Color Guard march and National Anthem, Maj. Gen. Michael Rocco, Commanding General 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, greeted two platoons at attention on the parade deck and Marines seated in attendance with “Happy birthday!” He then applauded those who had worked so hard to give honor to the event, including the band and chaplain, who offered a rousing invocation. Rocco said that birthday celebrations are a time to reflect on Marines who aren’t with us today. “Maybe they’re forward deployed, or maybe they’ve given the ultimate sacrifice. It’s a day to remember them, to recognize them.” Rocco asked his Marines to reflect on one name in particular, “Sergeant (Bradley W.) Atwell.” In September 2012, insurgents breached security at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, and set fire to a flight line of Harrier jets. Atwell was a Harrier mechanic who proved to the noblest degree, ‘Every Marine a Rifleman.’ “Whether you’re working on aircraft, flying aircraft, working in the accounting section, whatever it is, you’re a Marine,” says Rocco. “I guarantee you Sgt. Atwell, on that fateful day, didn’t realize he was going to be involved in direct combat, but he was, and subsequently killed by the insurgents. It is moments like this, days like this, you reflect on who we are as a Marine Corps.” (Lt. Col. Christopher Raible was also killed in the line of duty at Camp Bastion.) With remembrance in mind, four stoic Marines marched the cake (which signifies the birthday) to Gen Rocco and Col. John P. Farnam, Commanding Officer MCAS Miramar, and several Marines at attention. The sword used to cut the cake symbolizes leadership. “We pass the cake to the oldest Marine to represent that tie to our past, and then we pass that cake along to that junior Marine,” states Farnam, explaining why this is so important to Marines. “Some will say, ‘You don’t know where you’re going, unless you know where you’ve been.’ … For me, our past gives us perspective. There’s things we see and bump into now, that we’ve been to before — that we’ve dealt with before. As long as we understand that, and the change in context, we can apply those lessons from the past and make better decisions today — make the Corps better today.” The cake-cutting ceremony and other traditional observances were formalized in 1952 by the then-Commandant, Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr. Since then, it continues to be a yearly celebration, not just at Marine Corps stations and bases. “Everywhere there’s a gathering of Marines, they’re doing some similar event, all stopping at the same time to think
back, to remember and recommit,” says Farnam. According to Farnam, “commitment” describes the character of a Marine. He talked about the Corps’ past successes. “Every battle that we’ve ever been involved in, the outcome is assured — it’s just a function of getting there. The way the Marines are, we know we’re going to make it happen. But the Marine Corps is more than that. You see the Marine Corps in humanitarian assistance, you see us in disaster relief. You’ll see us Passing the cake at 239th Marine Corps Birthday cakemaking friends in countries cutting ceremony. Photo by Jeanne McKinney when there are not conflicts. We’re out and engaged — that’s the forward-deployed piece of us. We’re at the point of conflict or at the point of disaster when it happens. And that’s really our secret. A Marine is not really happy unless he’s deployed somewhere.” Rocco reminded Marines to remain ever-vigilant and to “reflect on the Sgt. Atwells over 239 years of history that we have serving this country — to be ever-ready when the nation is the least ready.” The cake was marched away, the colors retired, and the Marines’ Hymn, “The Halls of Montezuma,” rang in the ears, promising to rattle every patriot psyche, as the platoons were dismissed. “At the end of the day, it’s not about you or not about me or none of us individually,” said Farnam. “It’s about our corps, and really, beyond that, it’s about our nation and Constitution. As long as we keep that in perspective and remember what got us here, we’ll always be on target — we’ll always do the right thing.” For a few moments, the right thing is remembering — tasting sweet traditions, instead of dust, sweat and gunfire.

Borrowed from the 1935 Irving Berlin musical, “Top Hat,” the theme of Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute’s 2014 gala transported guests to the dazzling decade of Hollywood glitz and glamour. Co-chairs Lisa and Steven Cassidy and Karen and Stuart Tanz created an unforgettable evening to benefit medical research Nov. 1 at the Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla. The Tanz family donated $1 million to fund research on neurodegenerative diseases. Photos by Vincent Andrunas. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview.com.

MOLA is a ‘cool’ eatery in the Del Mar Plaza.
Cocktails, tapas and more at new MOLA in Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON ts name might be Spanish, but MOLA Gastro Bar has international flavor. MOLA — which translates to “cool” or “hip” — is a low-key eatery in the Del Mar Plaza that specializes in high-end, ethnic bites and drinks. Patrons love to lounge on the patio and enjoy a drink while watching the sunset, nibbling on bites or indulging in an entree. And the background tunes vary with the crowd’s mood — everything from ’80s hits to house music. The restaurant takes pride in its handcrafted cocktails and all of the servers double as bartenders. The most popular choice is the deceptively strong Mescal Mule, composed of ginger beer, lemon juice and passion fruit mix with a hint of agave nectar, plus a garnish of grated lemon. Another that has a creative spin is the lightly frothy Farmers Martini, a red winebased libation with orange liqueur, pineapple, lemon juice and egg white. It’s decorated with a triangle of manchego cheese and a fig. The sweet, Drunken Dragon’s Milk is a blend of coconut puree, lime juice and green-tea vodka on the rocks, with a basil leaf resting on top.
I Hatori Hanzo Fish consists of Chilean sea bass with Asian-style angel hair noodles, sesame seeds, tomatoes, soy and yuzu reduction sauce.

On The Menu Recipe ■ The Recipe of the Week is
MOLA’s specialty drink, South Side Rickey Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants There are wines as well — many from Spain, but also selections from vintner powerhouses in California, New Zealand, France and Argentina. As for the cuisine, Executive Chef Erick Mendoza shows off a wide range of foods that showcase everything from Greek and Asian to Mediterranean and American influences. One of his “go-to” tapas is the dainty Lobster Croquettes — bread-crumbed fried rolls that are creamy inside, accented with
dabs of spicy aioli and drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Others include crowd pleasers such as the Mini Sliders (Margherita, Smoked House BBQ or Diablito); and Fried Zucchini Blossoms with goat cheese, serrano ham, cream cheese and piquillo sauce. MOLA has several flatbreads, and one that will spice up a visit is the Diablito. The heat creeps up on one’s tastebuds as you bite into the thin, crispy crust that’s topped with seared Saku tuna, avocado scallions, red onions and chipotle aioli. Among the full-sized salads is the Kung Fu Salad, tossed with sesame seed-crusted tuna, red onion, red and green bell peppers, sesame oil and yuzu. While the menu is dominated by bites and “fillers,” there are several, larger entrees of note. One of Mendoza’s favorites is the Hatori Hanzo Fish, prepared with Chilean sea bass. It’s on a bed of Asian-style angel hair noodles with sesame seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, soy and yuzu reduction sauce. A suggested wine pair is the Hazaña Tempranillo served chilled. There are several desserts on hand, which come from MOLA’s sister restaurant around the corner, El Agave: Flan, Chocolate Creme Brûlée, and Tres Leches with milky layers of soaked sponge cake and strawberry pieces.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090
The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difficult, if not impossible. In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head first onto icy pavement.
“My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at first, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the
injury is diagnosed.” Gelfland said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions. There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness. “I think we are in… one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin. “But, if we know better, will we do better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’”
As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers and HR departments to find a reasonable solution. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, individuals with a TBI may need special accommodations such as: SCHEDULE CONSIDERATIONS. You should work with your employer to accommodate shorter work days and/or an increase in breaks. Resting is the key when it comes to recovery. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS. Operating vehicles, heavy equipment or lifting heavy objects are generally prohibited once TBIs are diagnosed. It’s important to keep activities light while promoting rest. For more information on traumatic brain injury and returning to work, click here. Individuals in need of legal help after TBI diagnosis are urged to call 1-800-655-6585 for a free consultation.

Santa Fe Christian Schools students celebrate fourth annual ‘Give Thanks, Give Back’ service project In its largest service event of the year, Santa Fe Christian Schools (SFC) students came together under the Eagle Dome to help fight hunger in Africa during their Give Thanks, Give Back schoolwide service event held Nov. 20 and Nov. 21. Alongside parents, faculty and community members, SFC students exceeded their goal to pack 200,000 meals. At the end of the two-day event, SFC packaged 200,566 meals for orphaned children in Tanzania. More than 1,500 SFC students, parents and faculty, and Friends & Family Community Connection volunteered their time to ration dried goods including: rice, soy meal, dried vegetables and vitamin supplements to package into meals for distribution for the Children’s Community Center, based in Singida Town, Tanzania. In turn, the Children’s Community Center will partner with the Tanzanian government to distribute the meals to local children who suffer from hunger and malnutrition every day. In exchange for meals provided by the Children’s Community Center, the Tanzanian government provides school uniforms, financial assistance and basic medical care for at-risk children — giving them hope for a brighter future. For many of these children, the Center provides their only meal of the day. Photos by Jon Clark. For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

known Canadian cartographer and mine manager J.B. Tyrrell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was the person who surveyed Canada, literally,â&#x20AC;? Cloward said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a lot of money at it, so on the side he published some maps of his own. This one is incredibly accurate, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also pretty childlike in a way, with some pretty simple drawings.â&#x20AC;? Mint Condition There are believed to be more than 500 variations of fractional coins (gold tokens) minted during the early years of the California Gold Rush, which occasionally show up at The Coin Shop on Girard Avenue. The privately minted coins were produced in a variety of denominations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was such a lack of coins for commerce, because coins hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it that far out west yet. They were having trouble just doing day-to-day business,â&#x20AC;? Coin Shop manager Jeff Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the private sector taking it upon itself to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on the government for money supply. We need to step in and make our own coins. â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really interesting to see the private sector step up and fill what really should have been a governmental role.â&#x20AC;? A number of private mints were established during the early gold rush years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these only lasted for a few years and, therefore, their production was quite limited and they maybe only made a few hundred or a few thousand pieces,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In coin terms, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty rare. Some of the smaller ones can be purchased in the $100$200 range per coin, based on current gold value. As rarity increases, price increases. Some of them that are ultra-rare, where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only five to 10 pieces known, can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.â&#x20AC;? Although the U.S. government continues to produce gold coins, they are mostly American Eagle bullions, bought and sold for their intrinsic gold value, Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really got two separate types (clients) with completely different motivations and different reasons for purchasing gold coins,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have your strictly bullion purchaser, who wants to have a certain percentage of their liquid portfolio in physical gold. ... The second type is the collector â&#x20AC;Ś whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming in and looking for specific coins and specific conditions, particular dates and mint marks. Some people try to (collect) one from each year â&#x20AC;Ś or a coin from each mint in a particular denomination.â&#x20AC;?
Encinitas Holiday Parade to be held Dec. 6 The city of Encinitas is holding a Holiday Parade, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dropping In for the Holidays,â&#x20AC;? at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, along Coast Highway 101 in downtown Encinitas.

Kirlian photographs of the auras of futuristic architect Buckminster Fuller and English theosophist and social activist Amy Bresant. Knight, who teaches digital media in the UCSD Theater & Dance Department, has several short videos on the Japanese Internet cartoon phenomenon Hatsune Miku in the show. Hatsune is a fictional Japanese girl singer who gives animated video concerts online and projected on large outdoor screens. It is possible for any Internet user to write a song for Hatsume to sing online. McLean, deputy director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Scientific Research in Music in Leeds, England, provided a video that shows the programming language in text used to create computer music. UCLA professor Vesna has four large photographs taken from her 20-year-old website â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bodies INCorporatedâ&#x20AC;? in the show. At this online site, viewers can create a virtual body for themselves. The photographs, which can be considered as a piece of Internet history, are very striking and remind one of the archaeology of ancient or alien civilizations. Stone said other events are being planned in connection with the exhibition. Watch for them at http://gallery.calit2.net. The exhibit is free and open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday through Jan. 9 at gallery@calit2 ion the first floor of Atkinson Hall, 9500 Gilman Drive. (Closed Dec. 22-Jan. 2.)

Joe Steiner has a jockey agent, Michele Martinez, in Los Angeles, which helps him keep in touch with Santa Anita-based trainers. For morning obligations, Joe gets up early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I leave Solana Beach at 5:30 a.m. and arrive at Santa Anita in plenty of time to work horses at 7:45 a.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Steiner. He also drives to San Luis Rey Training Center near Fallbrook, where trainer Clifford Sise has about 30 horses. According to Steiner, Peter Miller, leading trainer at the recently concluded Del Mar fall meeting, has 60 horses there. Miller tied for the lead with trainer Jerry Hollendorfer during the longer summer race meet. Joe Steiner decided he wanted to be a jockey when he was 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d watch my uncle (his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother), and I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Both his grandfather and uncle were named Jack Leonard, and both were jockeys. Steiner rode his first winner, Hillside Ruler, at Del Mar in 1981. He was hoping to ride his 1,000th winner at the seaside track during the meet which closed on Nov. 30, but finished the race meet with his career victories totalling 998. He plans to ride at the Los Alamitos meet, which opened Dec. 3, followed by the Santa Anita race meet, opening Dec. 26.
PATRIOT someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin died, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more horrible than you realize because you pull his card (and read) he was raised with his cousin by his aunt. So no wonder heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a Port-a-John, crying, out in the field. You need to send him home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your job (as first sergeant) is not something you can put on a bullet-typed list. My biggest motivation is to ensure that every single day when these Marines come to work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that they know how important they are. This is what I mean â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lance corporal in an ammunition company goes to the Ammunition Supply Point. He or she gets there at 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning and works sometimes until 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock at night. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly manual labor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; physically moving ammunition from one pallet to another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may be easy for them to forget what they do is important â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get monotonous after a few months.â&#x20AC;? She reminds them the entire Marine Expeditionary Force canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their job without them: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bullets donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly without supply.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nobody can do anything without us giving them the ammunition to train, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God help us all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; go deploy to war.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? In 1999, Pvt. First Class Grantham was trained to be an air radio repairman, and evolved with advanced radio networks, GPS, satellites and operator interfaces. After more schooling and promotions, she was deployed to Kuwait in 2002, filling the billet of communications chief at Direct Air Support Center. Maritime prepositioning forces were being offloaded from ships in Doha, Qatar, to set up on the border and kick-start Iraq. Attached to 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, Grantham and DASC were the comm link between air and ground forces. From Kuwait, Grantham was sent to Marine Security Guard School. She was indignant, not wanting to miss out on the invasion. Grudgingly, she went, and was posted to defend assets at American embassies in Cypress, Malta, and Jordan from 2003-2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The war was happening â&#x20AC;Ś There were demonstrations all over.

the MSG attachments in those three embassies was ensuring we kept them safe.â&#x20AC;? She reps it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the coolest job ever,â&#x20AC;? yet still hoped to fit into forward combat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a person of faith. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;God, I want to go. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not supposed to go, then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me go.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Then, Grantham was on a plane saying thanks, praying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stick with me, and if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready. If not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do your will.â&#x20AC;? She made the combat fit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sent to Iraq in 2006, right after the palace was captured and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing moved in to Fallujah, where threats of IEDS and ambushes were around her. In Afghanistan 2010, she was a cog in the freedom machine, taking hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in bunkers and the chapel and chow hall trailer got hit by mortars â&#x20AC;Ś But even when you feel like you should be afraid, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not â&#x20AC;Ś I was filled with this sense inside, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh, is this really happening?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? She thinks everyone is â&#x20AC;&#x153;hilariousâ&#x20AC;? because they could have been killed, yet they were mad because they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat cereal for two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beauty of the Marine Corps; we take the craziest situations and just laugh it off.â&#x20AC;? Returning Afghanistan in 2012, Grantham loved acting as comm chief at Tactical Operations Center, Camp Leatherneck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in charge of giving (the ACE Commander) everything he needs to run the air war, which is everything from voice comms, to chat, to UAV feeds. You have to take all of it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and spit it out in one interface. So many things can go wrong. It was stressful, but cool.â&#x20AC;? At Camp Pendleton, Grantham takes all the feeds on her Marines and spits that out into leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You talk to them. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there before they show up. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here after they get off. Marines can spot a fake â&#x20AC;Ś Half of being a leader is just being there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing up and caring about them, then get out of their way and they will distinguish themselves on their own.â&#x20AC;?
