Survey: Improve RSF’s internet service BY KAREN BILLING Residents felt free to express themselves on a recent internet service survey conducted by the Rancho Santa Fe Association Technology Committee, many requesting that the Association get up to speed and bring faster internet to the Covenant to allow for a better quality of life.

Read one survey comment: “I’m almost 75 but I consider reliable digital and cell service to be a necessity not a luxury.” “This is the greatest need and number one priority for the Ranch,” read another. “Having lived here 25 years it has been terrible.” Interim RSF Association Manager Christy Whalen presented the results of the technology

BY KAREN BILLING Soon there should be more open spaces in the Rancho Santa Fe village to allow people to park and do such things as grab a latte at Caffe Positano, a muffin from Thyme in the Ranch, a birthday gift at Country Squire Gifts and Linens or an anniversary bouquet from Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts. The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved plans for 22 new parking spaces in the village on El Tordo and La Gracia at its Dec. 1 meeting. Of the 22 new parking spaces in the village,12 are new angled parking spaces and 10 are new marked parallel spaces. With these additions in the village there are now a total of 30 angled parking spaces and 20 parallel spaces. The new angled spaces will be in coordination with the expansion of two-hour parking zones in the village, a total of 42 timed spaces. With the approval from the board, the Association now aims to present its angled parking plan to the county’s SEE PARKING, A22

Man who stabbed sheriff's dog shot by deputy in RSF BY KRISTINA DAVIS A parolee who stabbed a sheriff’s dog and threatened a Rancho Santa Fe resident and sheriff’s deputies with a knife was shot by a deputy following a standoff Saturday morning, Dec. 3. The suspect, Edward Ray Nett, 50, is expected to recover from his wounds, sheriff’s officials said. Nett is on parole for violently resisting law enforcement in a 2015 incident, officials said. The dog, named Banjer,

underwent surgery for a stab wound under his left eye and was expected to make a full recovery, officials said. The incident started shortly before 5:30 a.m. after deputies were called to an apartment complex on Paseo Delicias near La Granada in the village area, where residents reported a person yelling and the sound of items breaking. Deputies were confronted by a man standing in front of a unit with a knife, said sheriff’s Lt. Kenneth SEE DOG, A22

Association approves RSF Tennis Club plan, non-Covenant memberships BY KAREN BILLING On Dec. 1, the Rancho Santa Fe Association approved the Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club’s plan of operation, which includes an extension of the sponsored membership program, allowing non-residents to join as playing partners and pay a premium to be a part of the Covenant club. The vote was 5-1, with director Mike Licosati opposed. Kim Eggleston was not present at the meeting. The sponsored memberships are an important part of the club’s operational plan, according to RSF Tennis Club President Dave Van Den Berg. He said it’s different than golf, where players of different skill levels can play together. With tennis, it’s more enjoyable when players are evenly matched. “Having people to play with, that’s part of the attraction of joining the club,” Van Den Berg said. The board first approved the new membership category, capped at 25 members, in February 2015. A member in good standing at the RSF Tennis Club can sponsor someone from outside the Covenant area and the member must be approved by the RSF Tennis Club board. The sponsored member pays an enrollment fee and $1,000 extra in dues a year — a total of $2,188 a year. Covenant residents currently pay an

initiation fee of $3,750, plus monthly dues that vary for family or single memberships. Van Den Berg said the sponsored members contribute $65,000 to the bottom line and also contribute about $20,000 to charitable donations within the club. In June, the previous RSF Association board split on renewing the category in a 3-3 vote, with directors Ann Boon, Heather Slosar and Licosati voting against it and Eggleston not present for the vote With the new board seated in July, the category passed 5-1 with Licosati voting against it (then-director Boon was not present). The approval was for the program to be annual, with a renewal again in June 2017 – this latest vote makes it a three-year program rather than an annual renewal. The RSF Association board has the right to terminate the memberships and if they are terminated, the members are entitled to remain a sponsored member for two full fiscal years following the notice of termination. Van Den Berg said the club has the ability to have over 300 memberships and had 340 members at its peak about 15 years ago — they have 224 members right now so there is room to grow and the sponsored memberships do not have an impact on the club’s court usage.

Elizabeth Blackburn, Ph.D.

Salk Institute president and Nobel Prize winner discusses her life in science BY ASHLEY MACKIN a Jolla Woman’s Club concluded its 2016 Women in Leadership speaker series Nov. 30 with a visit from Salk Institute president and Nobel Prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn. About 100 guests filled the Woman’s Club at 7791 Draper Ave. to hear Blackburn discuss the importance of curiosity to her field, the science behind her prize-winning discoveries and her personal path to success. While introducing Blackburn, Woman’s Club president Mithu Sherin said, “We started our Women in Leadership speaker series in 2015. Last year, our focus was women in government. This year, our focus was women in science and that’s why we are so honored to have Elizabeth Blackburn here to speak to us.” Blackburn is the 18th president of the Salk Institute, having taken the helm earlier this year, and she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 (awarded jointly to Carol Greider and Jack Szostak) “for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.” Taking the podium, Blackburn pointed out, “There are very few women who have won the Nobel Prize and that’s particularly true in the sciences. I want people to see, by my example, ‘Look, you can be a woman and be in the sciences and win a Nobel Prize.’ ” She said she had a scientific passion her “entire adult life,” with a curiosity that began in childhood. “I grew up in Tasmania, which is

Blackburn’s path took her to the study of telomeres. “Picture in your mind a shoelace and on the tip of it is that little aglet,” she explained. “Now imagine that in the cells of your body, there are hundreds of these little shoelace things in every cell. Each of those shoelaces is a chromosome found in the nucleus of each cell. These chromosome carry precious genetic information. We need those protective ends at the end of these chromosome shoelaces to protect that genetic information. But the problem is, sometimes those ends wear down. “Chromosomes replicate themselves all the time. There is a real problem when cells replicate, it is … a little bit like a copy machine. When you go to make a copy, with each print, a little bit gets faded or left off and that’s the copy machinery of the chromosomes and cells. Each time the chromosome copies and the cell divides, the telomeres get shorter and shorter.” In the course of her study, Blackburn found correlations between shorter telomeres and SEE SALK, A21

would later win a Nobel Prize for DNA sequencing. During her educational career, sequencing and genomics were relatively new, which made the work that much more intriguing. “It’s always exciting to start in a field when it’s growing or in the very beginning. … Often making a path is much more exciting than following one,” she said.

I want people to see, by my example, ‘Look, you can be a woman and be in the sciences and win a Nobel Prize.’

Runner with MS to run 7 marathons on 7 continents Cheryl Hile is getting help from a local orthotist BY CHRIS SAUR Some of the most inspiring stories anyone’s ever heard are a daily occurrence in the life of Encinitas orthotist Ara Mirzaian. Out of his local Hanger Clinic office, Mirzaian has fitted orthotics on patients who have gone on to win medals in the Paralympics — in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro he had a cyclist and a kayaker — and for nearly a decade he has worked with a San Diego runner named Cheryl Hile, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Hile, 42, who was diagnosed in 2006, uses a brace to combat drop foot and has run more than 30 marathons since her diagnosis. She’s currently in the midst of an amazing journey on which she plans to complete seven marathons on seven continents in one year. Not surprisingly, when she completes the feat, Hile will be the first person ever to do it with MS. “I’m very goal-oriented,” Hile said in an interview from Mirzaian’s Encinitas office. “That’s why I run so many races, it helps me navigate my MS because they are like these little mini goals that I can strive for. “But I couldn’t do any of this without Ara’s help, without this brace. It was a real game-changer for me. I kept tripping and falling and I was getting depressed.” Hile met Mirzaian about a year after her diagnosis and he fitted her with the best ankle foot orthotic (AFO) available at the time, which was merely a spring that picked

San Diego woman Cheryl Hile, who has MS, trains for her next marathon, which will be part of her goal of running seven marathons on seven continents in the span of one year. She can run with MS because of an orthotic that was fitted by Encinitas orthotist Ara Mirzaian. her right foot back up for her, but used up energy. She ran one marathon in that, but fortunately soon after came the first model of a Carbon Graphite AFO called The Noodle, which was able to store and return energy. Mirzaian met the creator of The Noodle and got Hile one of the first ones ever made. “It was straight out of the oven,” said Mirzaian, who then shaped it specifically for Hile. “With this type of design, she is able to use less energy and complete marathons. I

just make her braces and she does all of the hard work.” Hile had been running marathons since 2000, but in 2006 she started getting symptoms that doctors initially misdiagnosed as sports injuries like nerve damage. But after a few months of that, an MRI showed what Hile was truly dealing with. And she met the challenge head on. “Having a neurologist tell me to lower my expectations for running, I just got mad and wanted to prove her wrong,” Hile explained.

She battles the drop foot, with the help of Mirzaian, and another symptom where the entire right side of her body goes numb when her body heat from running exacerbates her MS. To combat this problem, Hile’s husband Brian runs alongside her in every marathon, making sure she doesn’t drift to her right. “He’s also there to protect the other runners so I don’t bump into them. (In terms of running with the numbness), I guess I’ve just been running for so long my body knows what to do, I just can’t feel it,” Hile said. In working toward this year’s goal, the pair has completed two marathons so far, in South Africa (in September) and Buenos Aires (October), and next on the docket is running the Honolulu Marathon on Dec. 11. The seven-continent goal means Hile will actually run a marathon in Antarctica in January, then hit Tokyo in February, Vienna, Austria in April and Christchurch, New Zealand in June. For the Antarctica event, the group of runners participating in the marathon will fly to Chile and there is a five-day window during which the race director will monitor the weather and choose exactly when it is suitable for the race. Suitable in this case means up to 20 or 30 degrees. The group will then fly to Antarctica, the director will mark out a route, and the athletes will run on a combination of mud and gravel and probably a little snow. Unlike the other runners, Hile will have to deal with her MS symptoms, which can flare up in the cold just as they do in the heat. Before her MS symptoms started to show, SEE HILE, A22

Engaging Women in Wealth

The Palm Desert Lacrosse Classic played its 9th Annual Tournament over Thanksgiving Weekend on behalf of Nick’s Picks. Nicks Picks is a 501c3 charity established by Torrey Pines High School student and liver transplant recipient Nick Wallace. Nick created the charity in 2012 when he was 13 years old. After many long hospital stays throughout his youth, Nick saw the need to support other children living in hospital isolation by providing them with backpacks loaded with games, toys and comfort items in an effort to raise their spirits and keep them engaged. The Nick’s Picks backpacks are distributed to more than a dozen hospitals and facilities across the country, and with our support, Nick’s Picks will expand the distribution of the backpacks to more hospitalized youths. Nick played for his TEAM12 lacrosse team. The team wore Nick’s Picks branded jerseys in honor of their teammate. For more information on Nick’s Picks, visit www.nickspicks.org

RSF Garden Club funds San Pasqual Academy Agriculture Program San Pasqual Academy is a first-in-the-nation residential education campus designed specifically for foster teens. The Academy is located in Escondido and provides foster teens with a stable, caring home, a quality, individualized education, and the skills needed for independent living. The school’s Agricultural Program that was initiated as a class in agriculture has grown to be that plus a work readiness program for currently enrolled Academy foster teens and alumni who return to the campus during breaks and summer vacation. The program teaches the kids about running a business as well as producing a product. The classroom is a 14-plus-acre organic field where watermelon and assorted fruits and vegetables are grown. Recently, members of the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club visited the campus to see progress of the Academy’s Agriculture Program. Funds for this year’s program were obtained, in part, from the RSF Garden Club’s grant program. An award of $9,000 was given to fund seeds and fertilizer, tractor equipment and maintenance supplies, trees and plants, and irrigation materials. The RSF Garden Club grant was matched by the Friends of San Pasqual Academy, totaling $18,000 for the Agricultural Program. Debby Syverson, the Development Liaison at San Pasqual Academy, commented on the value of the farm for the students: “The farm provides a unique opportunity on campus to provide students with work experiences which has also

Canyon Crest Academy Boys Basketball returns four starters

RSF Attack B98 Academy Soccer team.

COURTESY

After a promising 14-win season last year, which included a stunning victory against then top-10 ranked Poway, Coach Brian Baum’s CCA Boys Varsity Basketball team is poised to have one of their strongest campaigns in years. Led by senior guard Ryan Michaels, a 2015-2016 first-team all conference player, and seven other returning players, the Ravens will have the experience and talent to compete for this year’s Avocado-West Conference championship. 6’5” junior MJ Metz led the team in rebounds last year and 6’2” junior Aaron Acosta and 6’0” junior Tyler Elsom are returning starters who both averaged double figures last season. 6’7”

senior Sawyer Lebert and 5’9” senior Edan Abed both saw ample playing time last year and seniors 6’1” Daniel Frost and 6’0” David D’Lima also return and will be contributors. Three outstanding newcomers are expected to make major contributions, including 6’4” senior transfer from Torrey Pines High School Jakob Travis, 5’ 10” junior transfer from La Costa Canyon High School Sam Crespy, and 6’1” freshman Frank Gelfman. The Ravens open their season at the Hilltop Tournament and also compete in the TPHS Under Armor Holiday Classic and the Orange Glenn Tip Off Classic before they begin league play in January.

RSF Attack B98 Academy team wins SCDSL Championship The RSF Attack B98 Academy Soccer team, coached by Malcolm Tovey, is the champion of the Southern California Development Soccer League for 2016. The SCDSL is one of the most competitive soccer leagues in the country, drawing top teams from Los Angeles, Ventura County, Orange County, and San Diego. The Attack team, comprised of boys born in 1998 and 1999, claimed the title in the league's highest and most competitive division.

Many of the team's athletes have made verbal commitments to play college soccer. Forward Jon Sabouri, SDA class of 2017, has recently committed to UCSD. Goalkeeper Chris Gustini, CCHS class of 2017, has committed to play at Cal Berkeley. Many other players are deciding between multiple offers from college soccer coaches.

Concerns over SFID water rates In my last Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) board meeting, I tried one last time to halt additional increases and bring back a new consultant to ensure we have done the right thing with our new rate structure, but I failed to break the 3 to 2 board majority. One board member in our last meeting said that if I was correct, then we have, “wasted a lot of time and money on great consultants and lawyers” and cast his vote with our experts. Over my career, I have seen consultants offer poor recommendations and every legal battle always has great lawyers – on each side. My concerns have been in the following areas: 1) Our cost consultant, Raftelis, is well known in the water industry and has a mathematical model where you fill in many numbers to see various rate structure alternatives (the board majority only allowed for one scenario). It’s based on using mathematical averages, which increase rates to higher water users. The use of averages implies a homogeneous community and a “bell curve” of water users. However, our SFID

FROM WEB, A1 “We have not gathered the type of information that we gathered in this survey,” Whalen said, noting a survey a few years ago didn’t allow them to accurately assess what’s going on in the Covenant regarding service the way this new survey did. “We received a lot of comments, which was great information for us. Some of the comments were very appreciative of the survey but we also had some people who are clearly impatient.” “I feel very let down by the RSF Association,” read one comment. “It has taken them forever to get their act together and bring us high-speed internet services and here we are still at the survey stage.” “We definitely felt among some members a bit of impatience with the process,” Whalen said. According to those surveyed, 98 percent have internet service in their homes and most people (477) receive service from AT&T. Fifty-four people have service with AT&T Wireless, 49 from Orion, 34 have Satellite, 26 have Verizon, 22 have San Diego Broadband, 21 have Cox, 19 have “other” and 13 are with Time Warner Cable. By gathering information on service providers, Whalen said they were able to do an overlay map of service speeds in the Covenant and find what carriers provide the highest level of service. Per the survey, those 13 Time Warner customers had the highest satisfaction with both speed and cost. Overall, 55 percent of the respondents said they were comfortable with the cost of their service. Many respondents took the time to vent about their poor service and about how it is the “biggest downside” to living in Rancho

community has two sub-populations, large properties and small properties, which together don’t give you a “bell curve,” so any analysis based on “average” use is statistically inappropriate. 2) We either use less expensive local water from Lake Hodges if it is available or buy more expensive imported water. Logically, we should only need two Rate Tiers unless your objective is to shift costs to larger water users; we now have four Rate Tiers. 3) In my last board meeting I noted that Carlsbad’s water consultant is currently recommending that fixed fees (meter fees) reflect the “industry average” of 30 percent of total costs. SFID recently went from 16 to 19 percent, well below average, which shifts costs to higher water Rate Tiers. 4) Our new cost study and rates assume that we have more cheap local water in Lake Hodges than has been available during our prolonged drought. So we subsidize this water for Tier 1 and 2 rates below our cost of about $2 million this year, needlessly drawing down reserves. Something doesn't sound right to me. However, the majority of the SFID board put their full faith in our consultants and lawyers,

regardless. Consider this: Initially one third of smaller water users saw a decrease from rates three years ago with our new rate structure (especially residential single family customers using about 40 units bi-monthly). Customers who are only charged Tier 1 rates do not contribute anything to the cost of SFID infrastructure (capital improvement projects) and general operating costs while currently getting water at a rate significantly below our cost compared to imported water when Lake Hodges is in short supply. Meanwhile, for larger properties, some customers’ rates will have increased about 40 percent within six months and have water bills in the thousands. Either sit back and pay your bills or challenge the new status quo. Greg Gruzdowich

Santa Fe. “Our internet connection is not much better than the dial-up networks from the 1990s,” wrote one resident. “Our download speeds are so slow that we can’t enjoy Apple TV or stream Netflix on our TVs. Internet is such a horrific embarrassment in this portion of the Ranch.” Residents complained that their children cannot do their homework and to perform any kind of business or normal computer activities they have to drive to another location. “The lack of high speed internet is a huge negative for the community and will no doubt impact valuations,” a comment read. “Many people work from home at least some of the time, lack of reasonable internet speeds impacts their ability to do that.” The survey also asked about cell service in the Covenant. Of the respondents, 53 percent said they were not satisfied with their cell phone service yet 76 percent said they were interested in a better cell phone service. There were 12 percent who were not interested in improving internet service and some comments relayed that they do not want their homeowner’s Association to be involved financially. Comments stated that the community has other needs such as tree replacement, recycled water and road repairs—“Don’t spend money on the few that have a problem,” a comment read. Of the comments, 42 urged the Association to move quickly. “We had 18 ‘please’s, 12 ‘ASAP’s and 27 exclamation points in those 42 comments. One comment was ‘please, please, please, FAST, FAST, FAST service quickly’,” Whalen said. Other comments expressed concerns about the cost, particularly of fiber to home, and

provided suggestions for the committee on project options. Comments also included process criticism and there were 22 thank you’s to the technology committee—“My favorite comment was someone said, ‘Godspeed to the committee’,” Whalen said. Tech committee chair Rick Sapp said the tech committee has been making progress after the Association decided not to move forward with the fiber-optic network with Hotwire. Sapp said they have been having conversations with all of the large providers and trying to understand their approach to service levels and their plans, if any, to provide better service and “the extent to which they need encouragement to think about the Ranch as a priority.” Sapp said the committee is also staying informed on ever-changing technology to ensure that they find the most “robust, reliable and cost-effective” solution for the community. “We want to get the best outcome for everybody. But it’s fairly clear that this technology is essential to the 21st Century American home,” Sapp said. Cox Communications told the committee that studies show that high speed internet can contribute between seven to nine percent of a home’s value. Sapp noted an Association investment in improving technology is a fraction of the value it represents to people’s future ability to buy homes in the Covenant and to live here comfortably. “This is the only real priority this board has going,” President Fred Wasserman said. “We’re committed to this project and we’re going to get it done and we’re going to get it done right. This is extremely important to this community.”

East Coast-based jockey Javier Castellano and Annals of Time celebrate their win at Del Mar in the Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby Dec. 3.

Annals of Time wins Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby East Coast-based jockey Javier Castellano (pictured) and trainer Chad Brown both notched their first stakes wins at Del Mar in the Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby on Saturday, Dec. 3. Castellano piloted Annals of Time to a 1 1/2-length victory over stablemate Beach Patrol. Long shot Frank Conversation rounded out the top three in the field of a dozen 3-year-olds. Annals of Time – owned by Klaravich Stables Inc. and William H. Lawrence – completed the 1 1/8 miles on the grass in 1:47.73. “I give Mr. Brown all the credit for shipping out a young horse like this – a horse making only his fourth start – and shipping him to the West Coast and having him ready to run a race like this,” Castellano said. “He was powerful.

When I asked him in the stretch, he put in a powerful kick. Very strong; very impressive. And he galloped out strong and straight. Distance will be no problem with him.” The other stakes on Saturday’s card, the Grade II, $200,000 Bayakoa Handicap, was won by the favorite, Vale Dori. On Sunday, which marked the end of the Bing Crosby season, Miss Temple City triumphed in the Grade I, $300,000 Matriarch Stakes. Norberto Arroyo Jr. clinched his first riding championship in Southern California, with 12 first-place finishes during the 15-day meet. Peter Miller won his second fall Bing Crosby meeting training title, with 16 victories. Racing at Del Mar will resume on Wed., July 19.

likelihood of chronic diseases, such as certain types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. “We know when the telomeres run down enough, they cannot make a protective cap at the end of the chromosome, which sends a strong signal to cells and they do not multiply. And when cells don’t multiply, tissues don’t replenish,” she said. “Over a lifetime of say eight decades, the telomeres dwindle down due to the incomplete copying and are damaged by things like chemicals. It happens to all of us in our lives. So the question became: Does this matter?” A study of 64,000 people would later suggest it does. For the study, Blackburn and associates measured telomere length and then waited seven years. At the end of that seven years, they looked at who died and why. The people with the shorter telomeres were more likely to die rather than those with longer ones. Larger studies are underway as to what to do when people discover they have short telomere length.

Telomerase therapy

In 1984, Blackburn discovered an enzyme that helps preserve telomere length, now known as telomerase. And while telomerase therapy is being pursued, Blackburn explained, “When longer telomeres are in (for example) cancer cells, it gives those cancer cells permission to grow and keep on multiplying. So we have to walk a fine line between too much and too little. So using telomerase therapy is like playing with fire.” Instead, she said there are some environmental factors that can have a positive and negative influence on telomere length. Negative influences include stress, depression, poor diet, tobacco use, childhood trauma and

Getting ‘the call’

Her work, though ongoing, got the attention of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Joking that “everyone asks me about winning the Nobel Prize,” she recalled the day she found out. “In 2009, I got a phone call at 2 a.m. and I don’t know how you react when your phone rings at 2 a.m., but I immediately thought it was something bad — especially because my mother-in-law was 95 at that point. I thought something’s happened to her. But when I answered the phone, this Swedish voice told me I had won the Nobel Prize. At first, I didn’t really believe him. I think he could tell that, and told me the media would be calling soon and advised me to have a cup of coffee,” she said. As a recipient of the Nobel Prize, Blackburn said she enjoys speaking, especially when it gives her the platform to advocate for more women in sciences. “Curiosity-driven science really gets you some place and that couldn’t be more true than in the biological sciences because what comes from it really matters to human health. We need to have increasing and more diverse curiosity-driven scientists because that is going to make projects happen that will really have an impact,” she said. Her advice to young women: “Stay focused and stay persistent. Try to get yourself into a place where research is being done to find out if you like it. So many young people read about a branch of science and then they find out it’s not for them. Know your skills and what field these skills would best serve. To quote the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science initiative, ‘Women need science and science needs women.’ ”

FROM LAGOON, A2 Gourdine, associate division administrator for the Federal Highway Administration. The gain is not without some pain. Starting almost immediately, work on the carpool lanes and bridges is certain to slow traffic and make life a little more difficult for commuters at times until the first phase of work is completed in 2021. “We are going to do the best we can to minimize that disruption,” said Malcolm Dougherty, director of the California Department of Transportation. He asked for “the motoring public” to be patient during the work, and said everyone will be better off once it is finished. Work should begin within days on the new I-5 bridge across the San Elijo Lagoon at the border of Solana Beach and Encinitas. Construction of the Batiquitos Lagoon bridge in Carlsbad is scheduled to begin in mid-2017. Several speakers at the Nov. 29 event said the innovative approach of combining freeway, railway, public transit and environmental construction projects will allow all the work to be done faster and with less upheaval. “Doing all these projects concurrently gets us out of the (environmentally-sensitive habitat of) the lagoon a lot quicker,” said San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts. It also minimizes the negative effects on traffic, business, pollution and other things, he added. Nearly $500 million of the first phase money is budgeted for highway improvements, including the replacement bridges, additional carpool lanes, sound barriers in some residential areas, and more. Rail projects are budgeted for about $100 million, and bike, pedestrian and community enhancement programs for $40 million Interstate 5 and the coastal railway are widely seen as an “economic lifeline,” facilitating the movement of goods and

services within San Diego County and to the rest of the state. Efforts to protect the environment and provide public recreation are interwoven into the freeway and railway work. The new longer, wider bridges — with fewer piers in the water — will improve the health of both lagoons by allowing tidal waters to flow more freely in and out, preventing stagnation and making the tidal waters more accessible to marine life. “We’ve been talking about the tidal flow in these lagoons forever,” Roberts said. “That has been a big issue.” The budget also includes $80 million to pay for the restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon, a project lagoon conservancy executive director and principal scientist Doug Gibson has been working on for 20 years. “The lagoon is home to more than 700 plant and animal species, many rare or endangered,” Gibson said. “The loss of this critical habitat has slowly progressed over the past century.” Experts estimate as much of 90 percent of coastal California’s wetlands have been covered by development. San Elijo and other San Diego County lagoons provide a critical part of the remaining wetland habitat. Additional areas will be set aside and protected at San Elijo as part of the mitigation efforts required for widening the freeway and railway. Also, selective dredging and filling will remove the unnatural buildup of sediment in the lagoon and restore a healthy environment for more of the natives species. The lagoon restoration is scheduled to begin in mid 2017 and continue through 2021. Additional trails will be built to improve public access to the lagoon, including a pedestrian undercrossing beneath the railroad bridge that will connect east and west ends of the lagoon for the first time since the railroad was built more than 100 years ago. — Phil Diehl writes for The San Diego Union Tribune

FROM DOG, A1 Nelson. Deputies launched pepper balls at Nett and deployed a sheriff’s dog to subdue him, but he attacked the dog, Nelson said. Deputies rescued Banjer and rushed him to an animal hospital for emergency surgery. Banjer was wearing a safety vest when attacked. Authorities later tweeted a photo of the dog, with several stitches below his eye and wearing a recovery cone around his head. After attacking the dog, Nett broke into a nearby apartment and held a resident at knifepoint, Nelson said. The victim was able to escape and run into a bathroom, locking the door. The suspect then yelled to deputies posted outside that he’d just “slit the throat” of the victim, Nelson said. As deputies prepared to enter the apartment to rescue the resident, Nett stepped outside again and confronted them with the knife, Nelson said. One of the deputies fired four shots, striking Nett in the torso. They treated him at the scene until paramedics arrived and took him to a hospital. The deputy who opened fire was not named. The deputies who responded to the incident were not injured. The resident was found inside the bathroom unharmed.

FROM PARKING, A1 transportation advisory committee on Dec. 9 and hopes to be on the agenda for approval at the San Diego County Board of Supervisors’ December or January 2017 meeting. The goal is for the work to be complete by the end of January, according to Interim Building Commissioner Tom Farrar. The Association has been working on the plan for over two and a half years with the Village Revitalization Task Force, chaired by LaDonna Monsees. Farrar said the main impetus for the project is the retail tenants, who have struggled with a lack of convenient parking for customers. Many spaces in the village are used by employees of village offices, who park all day long. To free up room for customers, there will be 42 new two-hour, timed spaces: 19 spaces on Avenida de Acacias, 15 spaces on La Granada and eight on the stretch of La Granada near Rancho Santa Fe Flowers & Gifts. Farrar said while the timed spaces will help for customers, they still needed a solution for employee parking to avoid pushing the problem into another area. In May, the Association approved a six-month pilot parking program for village business employees to use parking space at the First Church of Christ Scientist on La Flecha, but the Association ended up not moving forward leasing the

The angled spaces provide a possible solution, Farrar said. “Once we add angled parking to the area, it really will increase the spaces for the all-day parkers and it also just allows for more parking overall in the village itself,” Farrar said. The angled parking solution, which also involves changing short portions of El Tordo and La Gracia from two to one way, is considered “Phase One” of the parking project. (The portion of El Tordo by the park with angled parking will be one way. A small portion of La Gracia by The Inn will be one way.)Farrar said they wanted to gain as many spaces as they could without cost to the community — it will involve just restriping and signage.

PHOTO COURTESY OF SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT

Sheriff's dog Banjer was resting after undergoing surgery for a stab wound under the eye. The suspect was shot by a deputy after a standoff in Rancho Santa Fe. Once Nett is released from the hospital he is expected to be booked into jail on numerous felony charges, authorities said. San Diego Superior Court records show Nett has four felony cases against him. One stemmed from a July 2012 arrest by Escondido police in which he was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, driving on a suspended license and unlawfully possessing ammunition, records show. – Kristina Davis is a writer for The San Diego Union Tribune

Hile ran half-marathons at an 8:20 pace. “Now I’m definitely much slower but I’m just happy I can keep running with MS, because it can stop you from moving at all,” Hile explained. “I’m hoping when I finally do stop running marathons, it will be on my own terms, not because I have MS.” Hile grew up in Orange County, but has lived in San Diego since coming to UC San Diego in 1995 (except for a brief stint in Seattle from 2010-2013 during which she still came back to San Diego to have Mirzaian make her AFOs). Back then, Mirzaian had a small local practice in La Jolla, which was bought out by the Hanger, Inc — a huge national prosthetic and orthotic company — in 2012. That’s when he moved to the office in Encinitas, where his practice is booming. Born and raised in Glendale, Mirzaian came to North County in 1987 and never moved back. He attended San Diego State to be a dietitian, but got into orthotics after an injury to his knee that was supposed to keep him away from snowboarding and surfing for a year or two.

involve more long-term solutions, which might include options such as off-site parking. Monsees said she has been in land development for 30 years and it doesn’t surprise her but always “confounds” her the amount of time it takes with the regulatory process to get projects like this done. She thanked Marion Dodson from the Village Business and Merchants Association and Farrar for all their work. “I’m hopeful that it will help the merchants. The merchants have been asking, pleading for 15-20 years for this. The board has spent a lot of money, time and research on the issue. I’m just thankful that it is now going to move forward,” Monsees said. “I’m hopeful that the additional striping will give the merchants some relief and also that it may give some incentive to any potential merchants coming in.”

A brace that was made for him allowed him to get back to those activities much sooner, and that inspired him to get into the field, so he went back to school, got certified and has been doing this work since 1992. “Not too many people know about this field and it’s really growing,” said Mirzaian, whose wife, Donna, has taught at La Costa Heights Elementary in Encinitas since 1995. They have three kids who went through the Encinitas Union School District and are now seventh, ninth and 12th graders in the San Dieguito Union High School District. After Mirzaian examines a patient, he orders the orthotic to be made in a factory based on his specifications, then he does little adjustments himself to make sure the piece fits and works correctly. For Hile’s AFO, that means cutting pieces down and creating a pad. Hanger — which is famous in part for helping athletes with lost or malfunctioning limbs achieve lofty goals and also for creating the prosthetic tail for Winter, the dolphin who is the subject of the movie “Dolphin Tale” — has helped make Hile’s seven in seven goal a reality, sponsoring her trip to Antarctica, among other things.

Through his parents’ inspirational story, local man hopes to help heal divisions BY JOE TASH Martin Kent is a man on a mission – to spread what he calls a “universal message of tolerance.” The 65-year-old Encinitas resident, a retired documentary filmmaker and journalist, said he seriously considered moving to Canada after the election of Donald Trump as president in November. The son of Holocaust survivors, Kent said he was disturbed by the polarization that arose during the election campaign. But conversations with his two grown sons changed his mind about leaving – one asked him, “What will that accomplish?” Kent recalled. Instead, said Kent, he wants to revive a talk that he has given in the past to high school students in Los Angeles, where he lived before moving to San Diego County four years ago. The hour-long program, he said, will encourage students to speak out when they witness acts of intolerance. “Do the right thing. Don’t be silent because your life ends when you remain silent. It’s over,” Kent said, paraphrasing a favorite quotation from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Kent said he hopes to reach out to local school districts with his offer to provide the presentation, which includes a segment of a documentary video he made about his parents’ story. His father, Jack, a young Catholic man, and his mother, Roza, a Jewish woman, met during the Nazi occupation of Poland in the 1940s. The two went on the run from the Nazis, narrowly escaping imprisonment and death at the hands of the occupiers, Kent said. “He could have easily walked away,” said Kent, rather than helping the young Jewish woman. Instead, “He put his life on the line and saved her.” In 2003, the government of Israel recognized his father’s actions with its highest honor, the “Righteous Among the Nations” award, the same award given to Oskar Schindler, the businessman memorialized in the film “Schindler’s List” for saving the lives of Jews during the Holocaust, said Kent. Kent said that since the election, he has been dismayed to read of the rise of intolerant acts aimed at minorities, including Muslims, Jews, Hispanics and others. The problem, he said, seems particularly acute in the nation’s schools. He pointed to a survey of K-12 educators conducted after the election by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-discrimination group. According to a report on the group’s web site, 80 percent of teachers, administrators and school staff surveyed indicated heightened anxiety among students, worried about impacts of the election on themselves and their families. “Also on the upswing: verbal harassment, the use of slurs and derogatory language, and disturbing incidents involving swastikas, Nazi salutes and Confederate flags,” said the report.

By sharing his family’s story, Martin Kent said he hopes to turn the tide against the divisive impulses that have surfaced recently across the country. Kent said he was personally exposed to intolerance at an early age. He was just 5 years old when, soon after his family moved to a new neighborhood in New York City, a neighboring child accosted him with an anti-Semitic slur. His mother, said Kent, taught him to reach out to everyone, even those who had demonstrated intolerance. “She just had love for everybody,” he said. During his career as a documentarian, Kent said, he made some 50 films on a variety of topics, including art, science and history, and they were broadcast on such networks as Discovery Channel, A&E, ABC, NBC and PBS. A guitarist and singer, Kent fronts a band, “Blues Skies,” that performs locally, and he is a member of Del Mar Toastmasters, through which he recently won a speakers’ competition and is advancing to a regional contest. Although he was deeply moved by his parents’ personal Holocaust story, they didn’t share it for more than 50 years, preferring to bury their painful memories. It was only after he made a documentary about Oskar Schindler, in the wake of the popular film, that they decided to open up and share their story. Kent said he spent a year interviewing his parents and even traveled to Poland with his father, to visit and film some of the places where the couple had been during the war years. By sharing his family’s story, Kent said he hopes to turn the tide against the divisive impulses that have surfaced recently across the country. Referring to a line from the Leonard Cohen song “Anthem” (the singer and poet died just before the election), Kent said, the election “revealed a huge crack in America and we need to fill it with a lot of light.”

Eastman School of Music senior offers college music audition workshops Daniela Camilleri, a senior at the prestigious Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, NY, is no stranger to auditions. She has participated in theater productions since the age of 5, and enjoyed a successful musical theater career, winning a National Youth Arts Award for her role as Ms. Hannigan in Annie and placing second in Hollywood’s Best New Talent Daniela (Broadway) in 2009. It was Camilleri only after singing with the San Diego Children’s Chorus for four seasons did she begin to train classically. “I remember being in Puccini’s La Boheme and feeling such a deep connection with the music” said Daniela. “I knew then that I wanted to sing opera. I shifted my focus from musical theater to classical voice midway through high school.” It was also at that time that Daniela attended an audition that was to have a huge impact on her future. “As a junior in high school, I auditioned at SDSU to participate in their Opera Theater program. It was by far the most stressful audition I had ever attended, because I was overwhelmed by how much older everyone was and I really, really wanted to be cast!” Daniela ended up participating in two shows at SDSU, and she credits that experience with giving her the confidence to apply to music school. “Music school auditions are tough. You may be an amazing singer or musician, but so is

everyone else there, especially if you all had to go through the prescreening process. I was very fortunate that my audition at Eastman, which was my reach school, was the very last one. By the time I got to Rochester, I was vocally prepared. However, I would have really valued the experience of being able to do a mock audition for someone who had been through the process and could provide feedback.” Daniela has come a long way since those first days at Eastman. She has spent two summers in Italy, attended SongFest at the Colburn School in Los Angeles where she worked with composers Jake Heggie and Libby Larson and also participated in master classes with Graham Johnson, one of the world’s leading accompanists, at the Vancouver International Song Institute. She is currently in final rehearsals for a Jake Heggie production at her school and has begun coachings for the spring opera, where she will be playing the role of the stepsister Noémie in Massenet’s Cendrillon. “I feel as though I am in a good position to help anyone preparing for that all-important audition,” says Daniela. “Not only did I audition at several prestigious schools, but I was also a Student Leader for two years and very involved in the audition process. I have also been trained to audition ‘like a professional’ by one of the very talented opera directors at my school, who also taught us how to critically evaluate auditions and exposed us to life ‘on the other side of the SEE MUSIC, B14

More than 200,000 meals packed at Santa Fe Christian Schools to aid victims of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti Santa Fe Christian Schools (SFC) students, parents, faculty and friends came together to pack 200,091 meals for victims of Hurricane Matthew on Nov. 17 - 18. Students also raised more than $4,000 for Hurricane Matthew victims as part of SFC’s annual Give Thanks, Give Back service project. On Oct. 4, 2016, Hurricane Matthew made landfall in Haiti, devastating a country still recuperating from the 2010 earthquake. The hurricane claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Haitians and left 1.4 million people in need of humanitarian aid. Haiti will need months of emergency aid to stave off famine. Working with Friends & Family Community Connection in the “Fight

Against Hunger in Haiti,” more than 500 volunteers assembled food packages into meals. Food packages will be distributed to Shepherd’s House, a Haitian children’s orphanage and over 200 families who lost their homes in the hurricane. SFC was joined in food packing efforts by students from King/Chavez Primary Academy and employees from the American Heart Association and Lombardi Group. “Events like these provide our students with an opportunity to not only learn about the needs that exist in this world, but to also understand how they can be part of the solution,” said Dr. Tom Bennett, Head of Schools for Santa Fe Christian Schools.

‘Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy’ helps patients find root of the problem BY STACEY PHILLIPS past patient at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy recently celebrated her 100th birthday at the Bressi Ranch location. Brian Stone, PT, DPT, clinic director at that office, said she attributed her health and longevity to “a good sense of humor and sticking to her exercise program.” “Many of our seniors continue to come in even after they have finished their therapy as members of our senior exercise program,” said Stone. “They enjoy the benefits of the exercise, and also the camaraderie with the staff and other past patients.” Many who suffer from acute or chronic back or neck pain, sore joints and mild orthopedic injuries often turn to physical therapy. “Physical therapy is a good alternative to many other medical interventions in that it is non-invasive, has very few side effects and has shown to be very cost-effective,” said Stone. “In fact, studies show that people who are seen by a physical therapist quickly after injury and/or an episode of back pain, have a 30 to 50 percent lower chance of requiring more aggressive medical care and may save over $2,000 in their total cost of medical care.” Gaspar Physical Therapy was established in 1994 by Dr. Paul Gaspar, DPT, as a small clinic

in Frog’s Gym in Encinitas. “There was a fun and family-oriented environment where patient care was always placed as the top priority,” said Stone. A second location opened in Solana Beach in 2001 and two years later a third practice opened in La Costa. The company now has six locations in North County San Diego, including Oceanside, Bressi Ranch, Coastal Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Torrey Highlands. As the size of the practice grew over the years, so did the areas of specialization. Stone said the focus on outpatient rehabilitation now consists of cardiac rehab, pulmonary

rehab, aquatic physical therapy, women’s health and pelvic floor rehabilitation, custom orthotic fabrication, and hand therapy with a certified hand specialist. The largest facility, The Sports Performance Center, opened in 2011. Located on Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad, it encompasses more than 6,000 square feet of state-of-the-art sports therapy equipment such as a biomechanics lab and artificial turf where athletes have space to perform higher level exercises. This past October, the company announced the opening of a sixth clinic in Torrey Highlands for patients who live

farther south. “Over the years there have been several opportunities to either buy smaller clinics or to sell the company to bigger corporate interests, but that is not our goal,” said Stone. He said the 27 therapists and more than 100 employees share this same vision. “Many of our therapists have been with the company for over 10 years, which speaks to the family environment and small-business approach that still defines our company,” said Stone. It is independently owned by physical therapists, which Stone said allows for care that is guided by clinical decision-making and what is in the patient’s best interest. Gaspar met several of his current partners while working as a professor at the University of Southern California’s physical therapy school between 1996 and 2000. During this time, he became a clinical instructor for several student interns who joined the practice after graduating and they eventually became partners. As one of the seven partners, Stone said what sets the business apart from other practices is the commitment to quality. “Our patients are given ample time with their therapists and the therapists all have strong backgrounds in manual therapy to be able to SEE THERAPY, B14

Food for the free-spirited: Flower Child opens at Flower Hill BY KAREN BILLING Flower Child opened in Flower Hill Promenade on Dec. 6, inspired by the mission to deliver “healthy food for a happy world.” The delicious and nutritious menu is mix-and-match style, allowing guests to select their favorite combinations of vegetables and grains such as simple sautéed broccoli, sweet corn and quinoa, Indian-spiced cauliflower, roasted butternut squash and scrumptious Yuzu Brussels sprouts with golden miso, toasted garlic and almonds. Flower Child is the second San Diego restaurant opened by restauranteur Sam Fox, joining True Food Kitchen in Mission Valley. The original Flower Child restaurant is located in Santa Monica. Flower Child took over the former Sea & Smoke space and features spacious dining areas upstairs and downstairs, as well as a courtyard patio. There is even “yoga-mat parking” where yogis can drop their mats while they eat. The décor is whimsical, floral and funky with lots of art – one mural features horses and jockeys as a nod to the Del Mar Throughbred Club down the street. The kitchen area is open so guests can see all of the fresh and local ingredients at play. The menu is packed with many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Organic produce stars in soups, hummus, wraps, bowls and salads like the Vegan Ingredient, loaded with cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, avocado, roasted corn, baby tomato,

FROM THERAPY, B5 provide effective ‘hands-on’ treatment,” he said. “Our physical therapists are trained to not only eliminate your short-term pain, but will work with you to come up with longer-term exercise programs to keep your pain from coming back and optimize your health and function.” Stone said that one of the big changes that has occurred over the past year is that direct access became available January 1, 2015. This allows patients in California to seek care directly from a physical therapist without a physician’s prescription. “There are several reasons that people can benefit from physical therapy,” said Stone. “Physical therapists are excellent at finding the root cause of musculoskeletal problems.” In addition to typically being seen within one or two days, Stone said a comprehensive plan is administered during the first appointment to determine the problem and find the best approach to address it. The business has been recognized as a top physical therapist practice, including a 2016 Readers’ Choice “Best of”award and Best Physical Therapists in San Diego 2016 by Expertise. Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy also takes pride in giving back to the surrounding community. This includes supporting many local nonprofit organizations and high school athletic training programs, offering hundreds of free athlete physicals and helping raise money for athletic training scholarships. The business has also been active in raising funds for breast cancer research and will be adopting a family over the holidays to provide food, clothing and gifts for them. “Our company is also different in that many of our clients consistently remark that it is a fun and enjoyable place to be,” said Stone. “We have always strived to maintain customer care and quality service as the number one priority of our practice.” For more information, visit www.gasparpt.com or email info@gasparpt.com. - Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

FROM MUSIC, B4 table’. I have seen this process from both sides and can offer students an opportunity to do a dry run of their audition. We can cover everything from what to wear, how to address an accompanist (for singers), how to present yourself and what questions you may be asked should you be interviewed. I would also be happy to share my experiences about what to expect at music school. Pursuing a music degree is a lot harder than most people think and it is important for students to know what they are signing up for. Having said that, I love what I am doing and still can’t believe that I am lucky enough to be able to follow my dreams!” Daniela is offering one-on-one workshops starting mid-December, in time for college auditions in January and February.

What to Expect During Your Home Build Throughout this column, we’ve discussed the various steps of the building process, from finding your contractor and building your team to the selection of your finish materials. As we wrap up this series, I want to list a few key elements of the process to help you avoid any surprises during the construction of your home. Keep in mind: Some contractors and builders can help you with the design, while others want you to come in with plans. Each builder will have a different style or specialty, but just because some builders don’t design doesn’t mean they won’t deliver on the final product. However, you do want your

contractor to be fully licensed, bonded and insured. If you have a chance to see examples of their finished projects, this can help you make a confident decision. When making a plan with your builder and staying involved throughout the construction process, you can still expect surprises. Have you ever heard the phrase “expect the unexpected”? This phrase certainly applies to building a house. The best way to plan for the unexpected is to know the general ins and outs of the building process. Here is a list of considerations and potential areas for surprise. Construction Loans If you apply for a construction loan, you’ll have to have copies of the floor plans and specs from your builder or architect so the mortgage lender can appraise the home to determine how much they will lend. It’s common to make a down payment, or a personal guarantee, and the sum can be significant. Also, keep in mind that the appraisal and credit checks will come with fees, as well as title insurance on the land and homeowner’s insurance. The Budget Cushion

It’s always best to have a full budget in mind with plenty of cushion. This is especially true for those taking out a home construction loan. It’s not uncommon for projects to go over budget (this is why we recommend to have a contingency built in between 10% to 15%). An experienced builder will factor in the budget allowances of design elements such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and fixtures. However, these allowances do not always account for homes with many custom and high-end features and add-ons. I recommend discussing with your construction team the level of finishes you expect so they can input the proper allowances for your taste. It would also be smart to provide examples of the quality of work and styles of finishes you’re expecting. Quality Builders All builders are not of the same quality. Some lower-end builders will have lower allowances to make their bid seem more affordable. What you don’t want is for your builder to skimp on the important foundational and structural elements of your home, compromising the house’s integrity.

This tends to happen more with lessexperienced and less-reputable builders. This is why researching your team and seeing the quality of previous projects is vital. The best way to stick to your budget is having a detailed set of plans to bid from. The more information on the plans the more accurate your bid will be. This will help the project to stay on budget with fewer surprises. You generally pay for the work completed in a weekly or bi-weekly installments, based on the work completed to date. Be mindful of contractors who try to front load a project, and always ask for the backup documents. Permits and Other Fees You may be aware of some of the permit fees your project will require (most people are aware of building permits, for instance). However, there are separate permits for public improvements, work in the right of way, SDGE upgrades, swimming pools, etc. Column continued at http://www.lajollalight.com/ourcolumns/sponsored-columnists/sdljlWhat-to-Expect-During-Your-HomeBuild-2016aug18-story.html

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, ﬁreplace or stove.”

Tenoré performing at the concert in Rancho Santa Fe.

PAULETTE BRITTON

Amore Tenoré

REVIEW BY DANA WHEATON, PROFESSOR OF MUSIC, ORANGE COAST COLLEGE Tenoré, pronounced like Amore, opened the recent Community Concert in Rancho Santa Fe with “Almost Like Being in Love” from 1954’s Brigadoon. Their exquisite voices blended perfectly and set the tone for a terrific evening of gorgeous music. Carlos Santiago, David Wise and Mark David Williams, along with pianist Hans Nelson, are Tenoré. Their first set of the evening included show tunes like “This is the Moment” from Jekyll and Hyde, “Ordinary Miracle” from Charlotte’s Web, and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” from the Sound of Music. In acknowledgment of Veterans Day, Mark asked the veterans in the audience to stand, and with only piano accompaniment, he sang an extremely emotional rendition of “Bring Him Home” from Les Misérables. His clear, pure voice moved the audience to tears and afterwards they sprang to their feet for a standing ovation. Tenoré’s choice of the French Christmas Carol “Patapan” was refreshingly unique and welcomed in the holiday season. The song “Sempre Vicino” was composed using the works from a Child’s Prayer for Peace written by founder Jill Ann Siemens. “I Dreamed a Dream,” also from Les Misérables, was sung in a grand three-part harmony. David then talked about seeing Les Misérables at the Imperial Theater in New York at age 16 and how inspirational

that was for his music career. He also talked about a ‘happy accident’ in his studio that provided the introduction to the hymn “Be Thou My Vision.” They opened their second set with the title song of their latest album, “The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha. Carlos sang solo, Puccini’s classic “Nessun dorma,” which received a long applause. Other highlights included an “a cappella” version of “Down in the River to Pray” from the Coen brothers film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, “’Til I Hear You Sing” from Love Never Dies, and a passionate and dynamically exuberant rendition of “Mary, Did You Know.” The evening concluded with a story Mark told about surviving a head-on collision with a drunk driver, which broke nearly every bone in his body and took his voice away. Carlos then walked out and sang “Always There,” joined by Mark and David. The audience was brought to tears by these talented and endearing young artists. Tenoré represented magnificent voices, big hearts and a “pay it forward” philosophy. In other words, they gave a perfect Veterans Day concert. Don’t miss the next concert, Melinda Doolittle, Jan. 20, 2017. Remember, Community Concerts is the best party in town! Tickets and short video clips of each concert are available on the website, www.ccrsf.org.

Shelter to Soldier launches ‘Shop for a Cause’ Online store to help veterans, rescue dogs

Shelter to Soldier has launched its online store, “Shop for a Cause,” featuring logo apparel and gifts, from which 100 percent of all net proceeds will benefit this nonprofit organization. Just in time for the festive holiday gift-giving season, a 10 percent discount will be offered on all website purchases by entering coupon code “holidays” when checking out. The online promotion will take place during the month of December and up to Jan. 2, 2017. Shelter to Soldier is a nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11

combat veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other injuries associated with combat service experiences. According to Shelter to Soldier Founder Graham Bloem, “The online store is a way to generate consistent sustainable revenue for the charity as well as provide a great platform for continued awareness.” Bloem states that while the main mission at Shelter to Soldier is to provide service dogs to veterans in need, creating awareness about rescue dogs and veteran suicide is just as important. “The apparel line

is available to all supporters nationwide, expanding the awareness…it is a dream come true. We’re very excited to be launching our store during the holiday season for everyone to take part in giving back with each and every purchase.” The online store includes Shelter to Soldier logo wear for both ladies and gentleman (t-shirts, tank tops, and caps), as well as a variety of logo accessories and gifts (insulated beverage cups, magnets and window clings). Visit www.sheltertosoldier.org for additional information or to purchase items online.

Naughty and Nice Culinary Questions

ou better watch out! This holiday season, foodies are more discriminating than ever, reading labels judiciously, making healthier choices, buying sustainable and organic ingredients, and painstakingly preparing treasured recipes from scratch (and with love). That also means more stress for everyone, whether you are hosting a holiday event or are an invited guest. To alleviate your gustatory conscience, relieve your anxiety levels, and make your contributions appreciated and memorable, here are some answers to your ticklish questions — both naughty and nice ones.

with a raspy acidity, those qualities are ideal for cooking. Cheap wine typically has too much sugar, masking the true flavor profile of the varietal. But that doesn’t mean you need to uncork a bottle of Lafite Rothschild ($560) to pour into your pans. A middle-of-the-road wine between $6 and $10 a bottle is a good compromise. For risotto use a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay; poach fish in light white wine with fresh herbs; chicken pairs well with red Zinfandel, while beef and lamb are best braised with a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

Naughty Ones

Q. Every Christmas we have dinner at my sister’s home and all the siblings bring their favorite dish. This year she’s insisting on a healthy theme. Unfortunately, my special creations are loaded with butter, cream, sugar and other decadent ingredients. I don’t want to compromise my recipes that everyone loves, but I don’t want to lie either, saying I’ve tweaked them with a healthier twist when I haven’t. Suggestions? A. My suggestion (although it would be more work for you) is to prepare two versions of your favorite dish — your original one with the indulgent ingredients, and a second healthier riff on the first, substituting organic ghee butter, olive or walnut oil for regular butter, coconut or almond cream for cow’s cream, organic honey, sucanat, or coconut sugar for regular sugar, and use fresh berries in a balsamic glaze as a dessert topping.

Q. I’ve been invited to a holiday potluck party from work, and the office manager knows I enjoy baking, so asked that I contribute a home-baked festive treat, like tiramisu or a seasonal trifle. As I’m really busy this time of year, would it be cheating if I bought a dessert, removed it from its original packaging and doctored it up to look homemade? A. Yes, that would be “cheating,” but since this is such a hectic time of year, I think you’ll be forgiven if you bring a lovely store-bought treat (organic or GMO-free is best). Then you can add a personal touch with a passed down family recipe, whether it be a sauce, drizzle, frosting or other unique holiday topping to make your contribution special. Q. I’m preparing a holiday meal, the main course either a seafood risotto or poached salmon. I always use high quality ingredients, but was wondering if I could cut corners and use an inexpensive wine for cooking these dishes? A. Julia Child propelled the school of thought that you shouldn’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink. Other oenophiles would beg to differ. While you probably wouldn’t drink a bright wine

Nice Ones

Q. We like to volunteer at food banks or help serve Christmas dinner at homeless shelters. Any thoughts for some other type of food-related gesture our family can partake in? A. Practically every city has pockets of “food deserts,” where people don’t have accessibility to a diversity of fresh, healthy

Serves 4 (Can be doubled) ■ Ingredients: • 1 1/2 packages of ladyfingers (approximately 12 fingers per package) • 2 ounces Kahlua or other coffee liqueur • 1 ounce rum • 6 ounces black coffee or espresso (room temperature)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract • 1 pound mascarpone cheese • 1/3 cup Confectioners’ sugar • 1 cup assorted fresh berries • Shaved bittersweet chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder ■ Method: Blend mascarpone cheese, sugar, extract and one tablespoon of espresso until smooth. Set aside. Combine liqueur, rum and coffee. Dip ladyfingers in liquid careful not to make them soggy. Line them in a baking pan then spread a thick layer of cheese on top, alternating and finishing with a cheese layer. Top with berries. Chill. Sprinkle with chocolate of choice. Add dollops of whipped cream if desired. —kitchenshrink@san.rr.com foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Denizens of these “deserts” consequently have poor, unbalanced diets, which often lead to health problems. Bearing gifts of baskets or decorative boxes filled with organic seasonal fruits (apples, tangerines, persimmons, pears), vegetables (roots, squashes, leafy greens), farm products, such as free-range eggs, organic butter, goat cheese, and yogurt, along with whole-wheat bread or some festive home-baked goody, almond butter and preserves would be a lovely blessing for these folks.
