Builders adjust plan for Crosby Enclave BY KAREN BILLING The developers for the Crosby Enclave, a proposed 13-home housing development on Del Dios Highway, have responded to the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s stated opposition to a plan amendment last year by making adjustments to their plan. In September, the Association board voted unanimously to oppose a specific amendment for the development due to concerns about the density of the project and visual impact as just about all of the rooftops would be visible from the highway. The developer, California West Communities, now plans to reduce the height of the most visible home from Del Dios Highway to a single story and to increase landscape screening. In light of the changes, the RSF Association board recommended a change from specific opposition to general opposition. “The nuance change is consistent with the RSF Association’s efforts to provide additional recreation fields outside the Covenant,” said RSF Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler, noting that the original planning for the property included a small commercial center and a recreation field. The option for that plan expired in 2008 and three-single-family detached homes took its place. California West Communities seeks a specific plan amendment to build 13 homes instead of three, transferring dwelling units from inside the Crosby to the 7,000to 8,000-square-foot lots just outside the main gate. The County Department of Planning and Development Services is likely to recommend that the project be approved, Holler said.

Community weighs in on RSF Golf Club tree management plan BY KAREN BILLING A crowd of more than 100 people showed up for an April 3 public meeting on the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club’s controversial tree management plan that calls for the removal of 150 trees (48 trees will be replaced so there will be a net loss of 102 trees). While some people were troubled by the removal of the trees, some in attendance at the meeting
also voiced concerned with the approach the Golf Club took in developing its plan. Those who were critical said the Golf Club did not follow the same master plan approval process it took 10 years ago, and that trees were removed — starting in July last year — without the knowledge of the Rancho Santa Fe Association. There was a perception, expressed by one resident, that it was better to ask for forgiveness
than permission. “We want to work with the Golf Club to help them achieve the important longrange goals of their master plan,” RSF Association Director Ann Boon said. “We can’t work together if they won’t work with us.” Initial feedback from the RSF Association was that the Golf Club needs to do a more thorough, comprehensive and clear management plan, one that in-

cludes a full cost-benefit analysis, financing objectives, a phasing plan and review by certified tree and soil professionals. RSF Association Vice President Anne Feighner also suggested the golf course put the tree plan to a vote of the Golf Club membership before coming back to the Art Jury. Golf course architect Dave Fleming, who helped develop the tree plan, said they would be willing to re-
visit some decisions and that there is some flexibility, but he reminded the board that they have used solid principles of forest management in their planning. “[Some trees] may look healthy but we can’t put our heads in the sand and not take anything out until it’s dead or falling over,” Fleming said. “Some of See TREE, page 28
Advisory votes set for RSF Garden Club sale BY KAREN BILLING The RSF Garden Club will hold an advisory vote this month that will coincide with the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s advisory vote on the sale of the clubhouse. Advisory votes are not binding. Following the RSF Association’s announcement March 21 that it plans to purchase the clubhouse for about $2.4 million, the Garden Club held a meeting on April 2 to discuss members’ questions about the sale. According to RSF Association Manager Pete Smith, the club received a very comprehensive explanation of the club’s current financial situation and the difficulty in getting the necessary volunteer manpower to
continue to run and operate the clubhouse. At its peak, the RSF Garden Club had 1,500 members and the club now has 250 members. At its April 4 meeting, the RSF Association board approved the Garden Club’s request to have Associationowned property count toward the two-thirds consent requirement for a Covenant modification to change the zoned use class to public and semi-public use. The RSF Garden Club is currently zoned for a private or semi-private club use only. The Covenant modification requires two-thirds consent from properties within 500 feet of the club and the Association owns a substantial amount of the See GARDEN, page 28
TPHS shuttle service from Solana Beach back on for 2013-14 BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District was able to work some changes and find some wiggle room to bring back its bus shuttle service to Torrey Pines High School. Eliminating the four high school shuttles in the district’s transportation service was among a list of $3 million in proposed budget
cuts for the 2013-14 school year impacting about 220 students, many of whom are included in the district’s free and reduced lunch program and whose families don’t own a vehicle. For those affected students, the service was the only way for them to get to Torrey Pines High School from Solana Beach. Shuttles also run to La Costa Canyon and San
Dieguito Academy. Cutting the transportation would’ve saved $100,000 but the district’s director of transportation, Daniel Love, and deputy superintendent Rick Schmitt were able to figure out a way to still offer the service for $30,000 with no new bus drivers and altering pick-up times. “Rick has a heart for
the kids these shuttles are serving,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Ken Noah. “He’s been working on this for quite some time.” Noah said that for at least one year the district can earmark $45,000 in the budget for the shuttle service, especially because the district won’t have a board election this year. Noah said the district will likely have to revisit
the issue in the next year. The routes will have very early pick-up times but Schmitt said feedback from families has been that the 6:25 a.m. pick-up was preferred over no bus at all. The district’s decision is not a complete reversal and it may not be able to offer the shuttles in the future but, for right now, the district is able to provide this service.

High school district superintendent search continues Fire District to hold forum on home fire protection system BY KAREN BILLING In March, the San Dieguito Union High School District hired Leadership Associates to conduct the search process for the new district superintendent as Ken Noah is retiring in June. The consultant team of Rene Townsend, Mike Caston and Dennis Smith have been meeting with staff and local community members for input on the experience, qualities and skills they would like to see in the new superintendent. The plan is for the board to interview candidates by early May and make a selection before June 1.

Small vegetation fire contained in 4S Ranch On Friday, April 5, at 4:10 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) and San Diego Fire Department responded to a reported vegetation fire near Camino del Norte and Craftsman Way in 4S Ranch. When they arrived on scene, firefighters found a small fire burning in a riparian area. They were able to quickly extinguish the fire, holding it to approximately a quarter acre. There were no structures threatened or injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. —RSF Fire Department
SD Planning Group meeting to be held at RSF Garden Club Please note that the meeting place for the San Dieguito Planning Group on April 11 will once again be held at 7 p.m. at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club on the corner of Avenida de Acacias and La Granada, across the street from the RSF Library in the village of Rancho Santa Fe. Agenda and minutes can be found at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/pds/Groups/sandieguito.html
Smoke alarms and residential fire sprinklers are important tools in keeping families safe during a house fire. Smoke alarms alert individuals to the threat of fire while fire sprinklers, by slowing the rate of spread of the fire, provide individuals with more time to safely exit the home. In order for the system to work properly, however, it must be maintained. The Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) will conduct a presentation to help community members understand their home fire protection system, including home fire sprinklers, and the proper way to maintain it. The forum, which is open to all residents of the RSFFPD, will be held on Tuesday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the San Diego County 4S Ranch Library, 10433 Reserve Dr, in 4S Ranch. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP to Julie Taber, 858-756-6008 or taber@rsf-fire.org The presentation is an extension of an educational packet and website, funded in part through a grant from The 4S Ranch - Del Sur Community Foundation. Free of charge, each packet includes a brochure and CD-ROM which outline steps homeowners can take to ensure their system is working properly. The presentation will cover the material included in the packets, which are available at each of the RSFFPD’s four fire stations and the administrative office. They will also be available at the presentation. In addition, the information may be obtained online at www.rsf-fire.org/sprinklers/index.html.
Water District’s Hazard Mitigation Plan available for review Santa Fe Irrigation District has completed an Administrative Draft of its Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), which is available for public review. Customers, residents and interested parties are encouraged to review and comment on the Draft HMP, and can access the plan on the District website at www.sfidwater.org/HMP or attend an informational public meeting scheduled at the District offices for Wednesday, April 17, at 5 p.m. The District has developed the Draft HMP in an effort to focus on natural or man-made hazards specific to the District and its service area. This draft plan creates a framework for the District’s long-term strategies to reduce disaster losses and reduce the amount of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damages. In addition, the plan outlines mitigation goals and strategies designed for hazards specific to the District, as well as mitigation actions. Mitigation actions include continued vegetation management and weed abatement, coordination with local agencies, and seismic improvements to District facilities. The draft plan incorporates previously identified capital improvement projects included in the District’s primary facility planning documents, the District’s Asset Management Master Plan (AMMP) and Joint Facilities Master Plan (JFMP). An additional benefit of the development and adoption of the HMP is that it enables the District to seek pre-disaster assistance and mitigation funding. The public is encouraged to attend the informational public meeting on Wednesday, April 17, at 5 p.m. at the District’s office (5920 Linea del Cielo, Rancho Santa Fe, 920670409). For more information on the District’s HMP, please visit www.sfidwater.org/HMP.

RSF son brings valor home from Afghanistan This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY March 25, 2013. On leave from a recent deployment in Afghanistan, Private First Class (PFC) Alexander Popescu sat across the table from me in his beautiful Rancho Santa Fe home and shared the stark reality of what it is to be an Army Infantryman. Mom Sandy (a Midwesterner with hankie in hand) and dad Val (of Romanian descent) were there and leaned on every word as Alex recounted the serious game he played against yours, mine and America’s worst enemies. Our hometown boy has lived in Rancho Santa Fe his entire life, growing up in a race car family with sisters Nicolette, April, and Andrea. After graduating from Torrey Pines High School, he was working, attending community college, living on his own and basically burning out. Alex states, “I needed a radical life change. I wasn’t doing terribly, but I wasn’t going anywhere so I need something that would kick start that. I figured the Army was as radical as it gets.” He enlisted in the Army in

2011. Although most service members don’t set out to become heroes, the world’s finest warrior training and steel-clad brotherhood grows them. The seed was planted when Alex shipped out to Ft. Riley, Kansas, on Mother’s Day 2011. He left behind comforts and conveniences, like soft beds and toilets, to live in a tiny foreign outpost with no running water, sleep on a mat in a retrofitted shipping container, race up mountains with a 90 lb. pack, and watch 24/7 for mortar attacks

and whizzing bullets. Alex did this and more for millions of Americans enjoying the “good life.” For PFC Popescu, “This is the greatest country in the world. It’s my country and I will do everything that I can to protect it.” At Ft. Riley, PFC Popescu scored high, trained hard and didn’t want to be stuck behind a desk. “I wanted to be in the fight, not just helping from the sidelines.” He was put on a gun team as Assistant Gunner (AG) to the Gunner, packing a 240L machine gun. Popescu was in control of the three-man team which included an Ammo Bearer. Their mission was to interdict the flow of weapons, munitions and personnel from Pakistan to Afghanistan. In May 2012, Popescu was part of what he calls a band of misfits deployed to the mountains in Combat Outpost (COP) Zerok, Afghanistan. “We were 3rd platoon (about 40 soldiers). You get the new guys – the rejects and all the bad equipment. We were called the ‘Bastards’ because we were the bastardized platoon.” Under some outstanding senior leadership, they trained harder than most. “We kept our noses clean, we weren’t in trouble. We never shirked duty or complained. They would give us all the important missions.” Could be escorting a

Adopt a Family Foundation’s upcoming 10th anniversary benefit in RSF a fundraiser to help terror-victim families in Israel BY KAREN BILLING The stories of lives ripped apart by acts of terrorism in Israel often start out as any normal day: a father taking his sons to lunch, a man gardening in his own front yard, children waiting at a bus stop. It takes just a moment for a family’s happiness to be decimated by a terror attack. Local organization Adopt a Family Foundation aims to step in and provide support for that residual impact of loss, fear, shock and stress that comes with these traumatic events. Founders Carine Chitayat and Iris Pearlman believed they could not stay passive as atrocities occurred and started their organization to bring emotional and financial support to victims of terror; to help people come to terms with the shock of the loss of their loved ones; or to overcome fear of terror events that have become a part of their everyday lives. They stay “forever connected” and form lasting friendships with the people they support. “They really become family,” Pearlman said. “There is no time limit.” The organization also seeks to raise awareness about what is happening in Israel, to look beyond a news report on a terrorist incident that says there are “no injuries” or “no damage.” That isn’t true, Chitayat and Pearlman will tell you. “You can’t even count the damage, it affects the entire region, all of the families, all of the children and all of the adults,” said Chitayat, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. Adopt a Family will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a gala on Saturday, April 27, at the home of Dr. David and Miriam Smotrich in Rancho Santa Fe. The event, from 8-11 p.m., will offer a musical performance from world-renowned artist Liel Kolet, a singer and peace advocate. There will also be a silent auction. The foundation started in 2003 as a partner of Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley, but as it has grown the foundation has become an independent 501c3 non-profit.
Adopt a Family founders Carine Chitayat (fourth from left) and Iris Pearlman (far right) visited with the Kdoshim family in Israel. Chitayat became moved to start the group after she heard a guest speaker from Israel talk about how her daughter was seriously injured in a terrorist attack at a bus stop in which 20 children were killed. She was touched by her story and realized how blessed she was to live in a place where she has no idea what people go through every day. She got Pearlman on board and they went to work finding families to support. “At best we can bring them extra love and support, to listen, and to be there for them,” Chitayat said. In addition to providing contact and communication, they can also help facilitate therapy for post traumatic stress disorder and try to help people move forward by supporting their businesses. For the Galkowicz family, that meant helping purchase an oven so they could open a restaurant in memory of their daughter Dana, who was killed by a mortar rocket—the 22-year-old who aspired to be a dancer had always loved her father’s cooking. One of their longest supported families is also one of their most difficult cases. In 2002, a suicide bomber killed Rachel Koren’s husband and two sons as the family ate at a restau-
rant in Haifa. Tears fill Chitayat’s eyes whenever she even thinks about Rachel and what she has been through. Unlike another charity organization where a check might be handed out and that is the end of the connection, Chitayat has been connected with Rachel since 2003, forming an extremely close bond. She does what she can to help her in her struggle with an enormous loss. “I love her dearly,” Chitayat said. “I talk to her all the time, we’re very close and if I even say her name I start crying. She keeps telling me she has nothing. We try to find her little miracles, we need to find her new miracles to keep her alive because deep down she is destroyed.” They recently purchased her a camera to help her explore a newfound passion for photography. Being behind the lens on a photo shoot with fellow amateur photographers, Rachel was able to find a bit of tranquility. See ISRAEL, page 8

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Accomplished auctioneer and San Diego Polo Club announcer more passionate than ever about using his skills to help others BY CLAIRE HARLIN Steve Lewandowski’s job is to raise money, but his role is quite different than that of your usual charity coordinator. Instead of the direct mail and fundraising drive tactics many donors are privy to, he relies on his voice, personality and ability to engage an audience — and his unique talents have helped him raised millions for local causes for nearly 25 years. Lewandowski is a local resident and small insurance business owner of many years in Del Mar, but if you recognize him, it’s likely because he’s been the master of ceremonies or head auctioneer at hundreds of San Diego fundraising events, and he’s also served for decades as the head announcer at the San Diego Polo Club. He’s grossed more than $1 million in several single live auctions and he’s appeared on big networks like ESPN, Fox and Polo TV. His popularity has grown to the point that he has had to turn down events. “My schedule is so full that I have to say ‘no’ sometimes,” said Lewandowski, who specializes primarily in charity events, but does some voiceover work for TV and radio, as well as an occasional horse auction. He said he is already booking — and filling up — his 2014 calendar. Lewandowski’s first auction gig was for the Make-AWish Foundation, held in 1988 at the Coronado Marriott, and his career came full circle last month when he steered an auction for a Coronado School of the Arts event at that same location. “After my first event, people who would see me would ask me to do others, and now I’ve done events all over the country,” he said, adding that he’s frequented Washington D.C., Boston, Miami and Los Angeles — and those L.A. events, he said, are particularly fun due to their often star-studded audiences. But his favorite part of conducting auctions is knowing he’s raising money for a cause, and the causes that Lewandowski — a third-generation serviceman — holds most near and dear are those honoring the military. Just last month, for example, he raised more than $850,000 at the Del Mar Country Club for an annual event benefitting the SEALNaval Special Warfare Family Foundation. Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist T.

Boone Pickens was in attendance and spiced up the auction by matching winning bids. “What’s so great about all the events I do is catching good people at their best,” said Lewandowski, who said he does about 35 auctions a year. “They’re having fun and they’re partying and they’re at their very best and wanting to do their best.” But Lewandowski said he has also seen a number of crazy things happen at auctions over the course of his career — such as having attendees fall down or get out of hand. “You want them to have some cocktails and get loose with the bidding, but there’s a fine line,” he said. “You don’t want too much. I’ve had people get annihilated; They come up and take the microphone or take the auction item. It’s all about knowing when to play into it and when not to.” He’s done some events with as few as 30 people, as well as many with crowds that are 5,000 strong. He said he once did an event with four billionaires in attendance, and once there was at least a dozen private airplanes parked at Palomar Airport specifically for the event where he was auctioneering. Lewandowski said he has seen dinners go for $30,000 and furniture go for up to $250,000. Once, a gentleman who already owned more than 100 cars bid on and won another car in one of Lewandowski’s auctions. “I heard he gave it away before the event was even over,” he said. While it may seem as
though he’s seen it all, auctioneering is only part of Lewandowski’s multifaceted career. On June 9, he will serve as the announcer at the opening match of the San Diego Polo Club’s 2013 season, and he will announce every Sunday until the season comes to a close. In addition, he travels around the world announcing at polo events, such as the 2008 World Cup of Polo held in Mexico City (which he said is the biggest amateur polo event in the world). He also announced at numerous arena polo tournaments in the 1990s in front of “big Hollywood crowds,” he said, featuring players like Sylvester Stallone and William Devane. While Lewandowski stays busy, he said he still makes time to use the power of his profession to help others. For example, he said he has read about people in need in the news, and took it upon himself to track them down and help them put together an auction. He said he did this recently for a family in the midwest who lost their home. “If I see people are having a fundraiser, I’ve called up and said, ‘I wanna help,’” said Lewandowski. “Sometimes they aren’t sure how to organize, but they may be able to raise $20,000 for someone who had a stroke or for a sick little boy … I’ve raised $1 million at several events, but helping out people who need it, that feels as good as those million-dollar nights.” For more information, visit http://poloannouncer. wordpress.com or http://stevespeakstoyou.wordpress. com.

RSF Bishop’s student wins first place RSF physician joins staff at at Science and Engineering Fair Scripps Proton Therapy Center Three juniors from The Bishop’s School won awards and/or have been selected to represent San Diego and the United States at science and engineering fairs state-wide and internationally. Tina Huang, Kamran Jamil, and William Nahm, from Bishop’s Class of 2014, competed at the 59th Annual Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair. Huang and Jamil have been given a chance to move forward grouped with 114 San Diego high school students. Nahm received third place in both health sciences and medicine categories. Jamil, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and son of Mr. Haris and Dr. Shazia Jamil, is one of four students (two from biological sciences and two from math/engineering sciences) who were chosen to move on to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). His research project, “Autism and Gut Microbiome: is there a link?” won Jamil first place in microbiology. In addition, he received the Blue Ribbon award from Kaiser Permanente, a certificate for Outstanding Achievement for Ability and Creativity with In Vitro Biology and a Sigma Xi award. Jamil has been actively pursuing his passion for scientific research for the past two summers through an eight-week summer internship at the University of California, San Diego’s School of Medicine. Intel ISEF is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition and provides an annual~forum for more than 1,500 high school students from about 70 countries, regions, and territories to showcase their independent

Longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident Huan Giap, M.D., Ph.D., has joined the medical staff at the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, a $220 million cancer care facility in Mira Mesa that’s expected to open for patient care in late-summer 2013. Giap joins Scripps Clinic as chief of breast, gastrointestinal and lung proton beam therapy. With Scripps, he will consult with patients and plan and manage their treatment. From 1998 to 2008, Giap served as a radiation oncologist with Scripps Clinic. More recently, he was chief medical officer for Advanced Particle Therapy (developer of Scripps Proton Therapy Center). Giap cochairs the publication committee and serves on the executive committee of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group. He is also editorin-chief of the peer-reviewed
Dr. Huan Giap International Journal of Medical Physics, Clinical Engineering and Radiation Oncology. Additionally, he is associate editor-in-chief of the journal Translational Cancer Research. Giap received his medical and doctorate degrees from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, Texas, in a medi-
cal scientist training program sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. He completed his internship at St. Joseph Medical Center in Houston and his residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center. The Scripps Proton Therapy Center will be San Diego County’s first facility to offer advanced proton therapy to cancer patients – and just the third such facility west of the Rockies. Proton therapy destroys tumors with greater precision and control than other radiation therapies, resulting in less damage to surrounding healthy tissue and organs. Scripps Clinic will oversee medical services at the new center and Scripps Health will provide its clinical management services. The center is being developed by Advanced Particle Therapy, LLC, of San Diego.

Local resident’s conservation efforts in Costa Rica date back to 1970s April 28 event in SB to benefit Steve Blumkin’s O2 For Life BY CLAIRE HARLIN When local resident Steve Blumkin first stepped foot on his 500 acres of Costa Rican rainforest in the 1970s, he knew that land, located near the Nicaraguan border between two national parks, would play a crucial role in his life. “I knew that was a special set of keys I was going to take,” said Blumkin, then a 20-something Nebraska resident who had moved to Costa Rica with the aspiration of opening a holistic center but ended up buying and running an organic coffee farm. Blumkin was in search that day of a safe and serene place to raise his kids, and what he found was a piece of property that would eventually provide education for hundreds of kids for years to come as part of the O2 For Life Rainforest Foundation, which is holding its annual fundraiser at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on April 28. The event, which takes place from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., is in its fifth year and is the main fundraiser for the nonprofit, which Blumkin founded in the 1990s to conserve and protect the land of Costa Rica’s Osa region, which is said to contain one of the most diverse ecological systems on Earth. “I knew it was my planetary obligation to purchase that land,” said Blumkin, thinking back to that day when he first saw that parcel, which ranges in elevation from sea level to 600 feet. But buying that land was no more than a dream at the time because Blumkin didn’t have the money. However, when he returned to his coffee farm that day by boat after view-

Cindy and Steve Blumkin, founder of O2 For Life, which will hold its annual fundraiser at the Belly Up on April 28. COURTESY PHOTOS ing that majestic parcel, things fell into place — waiting for him were two Costa Rican neighbors and a man from San Francisco who offered to buy his coffee farm. Blumkin jumped at the opportunity and bought the rainforest plot, where he lived for several years making a living off coldpressed coconut oil before returning to Nebraska in the early 1980s to help with the family furniture business. All the while, the indigenous family who lived there — well before Blumkin did — took care of the area, keeping it safe and healthy. They made sure the land wasn’t violated, deforested or squatted, and Blumkin went back several times a year to check in as well. But after a while, Blumkin said it seemed as if the land deserved more than one owner watching over it. “As the years progressed, I knew how important the land was to Costa Rica,” Blumkin said. “It just seemed like we needed to step up the level of stewardship.” Blumkin moved to San Diego in 1988 to start his company, Outrageous Rugs International, which still to this day is open on Miramar Road, and he began seeking out entities — such
as the Omaha Zoo and the University of Arizona — that may be interested in having the land donated to them for educational purposes. While the zoo officials visited the property and gave his offer much attention, they ultimately advised Blumkin to start a nonprofit — which he eventually did. O2 For Life was founded in 1998. The name was suggested by Blumkin’s Costa Rican-born sons and reflected the educational and camping-style outings the organization offers to kids young and old, both in Costa Rica and the United States, as well as the fact that the rainforests give the planet O2 (oxygen) — for life. Blumkin said the nonprofit’s goals are to both protect the Osa region property and educate the planet’s future stewards. He said this is especially necessary in Costa Rica, where kids live among the rainforest but are not taught about conservation and preservation in school. “We have this phenomenal place, but it doesn’t do any good unless people can experience it in some form,” Blumkin said, adding that the nonprofit works with at least three grade schools and one high school in the Osa region, and each year graduating students have the opportu-
nurturing but at the end it turns out that the people we’re helping give back as much as we give them. It’s a beautiful reciprocation. The connections are so wonderful, it’s been really special.” Adopt a Family additionally tries to do one community-wide project a year. Last year, they donated necklaces to women living in the impacted region of Shaar Hanegev on the border of Gaza. “It was our message of
love,” Pearlman said. “That little gift was a really big deal to them. Just a little gesture meant a lot to the women, that someone was paying attention.” Another project Adopt a Family is working on is to publish a children’s book about dealing with trauma to distribute for free. They aim to publish 1,500 books and then do a second printing in Arabic for Palestinian children. As they enter their 10th
nity to travel by boat to the remote O2 For Life Reserve to experience “total rainforest immersion.” Kids from high schools in San Diego and around the U.S. have also participated, with about 100 students going per year. Still running his rug business, Blumkin said O2 For Life serves as a way to let him give back, and his wife of 20 years, Cindy, is no doubt cut from that same philanthropic cloth. The owner of Art N Soul on 101 in Encinitas quit her real estate career about five years ago to open the nonprofit volunteer-run art boutique, which gives amateur local artists both a platform to sell their work and be seen. The shop donates all of its proceeds to about a handful of charities that Cindy chooses each year. “I like to choose the smaller grassroots charities because the small ones can really make a huge impact in what they are able to achieve with the funding we can provide them,” said Cindy, adding that the shop brings in as much as $2,000 that gets donated each month. Cindy doesn’t make a dime off of the endeavor, and said she is simply happy to be at a place in her career in which she can give back. She’s also one of the main organizers of O2 For Life’s annual fundraiser on April 28, which will feature food, music, drinks, an auction and a special guest speaker, Richard Somerville, one of the foremost experts on global warming. Money raised at the event will help support educational programs in Costa Rica, which Blumkin said have had a drastic impact on youth who have participated in them. “I’ve gotten calls from students’ mothers saying things like, ‘All she was thinking about before she left was her iPod and video games and then when she

Upcoming Solana Beach Ball to raise much-needed funds for classes at district schools Every year, children in the Solana Beach School District face the possibility of elimination of their science, art, technology and physical education classes due to deficiencies in state funding. But with the help of the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning (SBFL) and support from the local community, the Foundation raises more than half a million dollars to pay for these programs — collectively referred to as “Wheel Day” by students. The largest fundraising event for the “Wheel Day” programs, the Solana Beach Ball, will be held this year on May 4 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. The Solana Beach School District includes Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. The Solana Beach Ball will host an expected 350 local parents. Aside from the dinner and dancing, parents will have the opportunity to bid on donations of local wares and services and art created by the 900 students in Skyline and Solana Vista elementary schools. The Solana Beach Ball directly supports every one of them. “We strive to bring high-quality education to all students in the district,” said Patti Malmuth, executive director of the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning. “Aside from funding these classes, this year’s additions to the classrooms include mobile technologies, iPads, new computers, additional PE equipment and science lab materials.” The Wheel Day name originates from the idea that these classes form the spokes supporting an educational wheel. Through Foundation funding, the students are able to participate in Wheel Day at least one day a week. “The instructors for art, science, technology and physical education are so important to the classes, and the students,” said Lisa Denham, the principal of Skyline Elementary. “They collaborate with classroom teachers to really bring the best education to the students.” “Our children in Solana Beach continue to have a balanced and well-rounded education, thanks to the support of our foundation,” expressed Kelsey Holohan, 2nd grade teacher at Solana Vista. “The enrichment classes deepen the understanding that our students have of their grade level content and build a strong foundation of 21st century skills.” Anyone is invited to attend the Ball, though tickets are selling out. And while it supports a great cause, the Ball is also an opportunity for the guests to have a fantastic evening by offering an award-winning emcee/comedian, a live band, tasty food options, and poolside dancing. New to this year’s event are online auctions, an ocean-themed Scion (perfect for surfing or new drivers), and attendance to unique parties, such as an authentic Boston Clam Bake and a sunset cruise around the Bay. Registration for the Ball, the online auction, a preview of art, and a description of other auction items can be found at www.solanabeachball.org and www.facebook/solanabeachball.

Anti-Defamation League’s regional director seeks to rid world of hate BY JOE TASH The Anti-Defamation League celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and among the organization’s fondest goals is to put itself out of business. “I would love to see myself out of a job,� said Tammy Gillies, regional director of the league’s San Diego office. The league is marking its centennial by reflecting on its achievements, with the understanding that much work remains to be done in the arena of combating hate, discrimination and intolerance, said Gillies. The national group divides its work into three main categories, said Gillies, 51, a local resident: educate, protect and investigate. The first category involves working with schools and other organizations to provide anti-bias and diversity training, with a strong focus on prevention of bullying. The programs run the gamut to those designed for pre-schoolers, to efforts at fighting discrimination in the workplace, said Gillies. But a heavy emphasis is placed on reaching out to young children, because research indicates that children develop prejudices by age 6. Sarah Scott Feldman of Del Mar, a board member and chair of the ADL’s education committee, said the “No Place for Hate� program
Tammy Gillies COURTESY PHOTO arranges for speakers at local schools, including Holocaust survivors, and Japanese-Americans sent to internment camps during World War II. Another element of the program is training for peer counselors. “We do have programs that reach out to parents, school administrators, educators and school counselors with the same message: that we want, safe, secure, open environments, so our kids can learn and be accepted,� Scott Feldman said. Currently, the ADL gives a lot of attention to cyber-bullying through its educational outreach programs. “Cyber-bullying is a huge problem across the country,� said Scott Feldman. “This is not a rite of passage, not part of growing up, it is harmful, hurtful and it can have devastating consequences. The ADL is committed to fighting cyber-bullying.� The ADL was formed in 1913 in Chicago by a group
of lawyers who sought to battle discrimination against Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Gillies said. Around that time, a Jewish factory owner in Atlanta was lynched by a mob, after being tried and convicted for the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl. Evidence later came out that the factory owner was innocent. “That was an impetus for the ADL to come together, we needed to stand up against anti-Semitism,â€? she said. Gillies said she is inspired by the ADL’s original mission statement, which is to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people‌ to secure justice and fair treatment to all.â€? “It’s for everyone,â€? she said of the ADL’s broad mandate. Among the ADL’s big successes, she said, was advocating for a law that forced members of the Ku Klux Klan to remove their hoods when marching or demonstrating, which resulted in a rapid decline in Klan membership, and passage of national hate crimes legislation which was signed by President Obama in 2009, Gillies said. Locally, the group has been involved in a number of issues, from responding to discrimination complaints to tracking the activities of white supremacists, Gillies said.
searchers on staff whose “job to keep track of people who we believe may be out to do harm to Jewish people or any other group of people, that have an ideology of hate,� she said. ADL staff may even be called on to testify in court during hate crimes trials, she said. Gillies, a mother of three, has been with the ADL for six years, and her resume may not be typical for a discrimination fighter. A native New Yorker, she spent much of her working life as an operations manager with a shoe manufacturing company before moving into the nonprofit sector. Her husband, David, is an information technology consultant. She said she feels fortunate to have a job where she can have a positive impact on people’s lives, and plans to keep at it until she retires or helps the ADL achieve its ultimate goal of ridding the world of hate. “It’s a calling, it’s not really a job,� she said. For more information, visit http://regions.adl.org/sandiego/
At one time, she said, Jews and African-Americans were prohibited by property restrictions from buying homes in La Jolla. Attitudes began to change in the 1960s, she said, when such institutions as UC San Diego and the Salk Institute were established, bringing in Jewish faculty and researchers. “Today, the Jewish community has been well accepted in San Diego,� Gillies said. “We feel like an integral part of the entire San Diego region and it’s a wonderful place to be Jewish in America.� When people come with complaints about discrimination, the ADL will try to help them resolve their issues, sometimes contacting officials with local institutions such as schools. In many cases, she said, the officials many not be aware that discrimination has occurred. An example, she said, would be a school scheduling its homecoming dance during the Jewish high holidays. While that would be perfectly legal, she said, it would make Jewish students feel left out. “Having that dialogue is very important. People for the most part want to do the right thing, it’s just helping them get there,� she said. Another ADL function is tracking and conducting research on extremists, said Gillies. The group has re-

Benefit dinner slated to be held in honor of Avielle Foundation
Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center Maurice P. Sherman, M.D. 12845 Pointe Del Mar Way Suite 100 Del Mar, CA 92014
info@drsherman.com | www.drsherman.com
BY KAREN BILLING Six-year-old Avielle Rose Richman loved going barefoot. Born in San Diego in 2006, she loved to sing and dance, to tell stories and act them out, she loved to ride horses and, like her parents Jennifer Hensel and Jeremy Richman, she had developed a love for Kung Fu. She had a spitfire personality and a contagious smile that many said could get her out of anything. Many people knew her as “Avie.” Two years ago, Avielle and her family moved from San Diego to Connecticut. Avie was one of the 26 children and educators who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. To try and make sense of the senseless and unimaginable, her parents founded the Avielle Foundation to prevent violence by fostering brain health research, education and policy through community development, engagement and responsibility. To help support the Avielle Foundation, close family friend and local resident Kimberly Fultz has organized a benefit dinner on Saturday, May 4, at the Beach Grass Café in Solana Beach. The owners of the restaurant, Carmel Valley residents Cindy and Kevin Nelson, will donate 100 percent of the proceeds. There is room for 40 people for the five-course meal and seats are halfway full so far. “San Diego is where Avielle was born and lived for four of the six years of her happy life, mostly barefoot,” said Jenn and Jeremy. “San Diego still feels like home to us. We thank San Diego and

its outlying communities for the outpouring of love and support during our darkest hours. With the Avielle Foundation, we aim to answer the question ‘Why?’” The “Why?” in this tragedy is hard for everyone to grasp, especially Fultz, who shared an office with Jenn for five years — their daughters were born just three months apart. Her daughter is a also first grader, like Avie was, at Solana Highlands Elementary School. It’s hard to comprehend how something like the Sandy Hook tragedy can happen, Fultz said. “We ask ‘Why?’ over and over again. How could somebody do something so horrific?” Fultz said. Through their foundation, Avie’s parents are hoping to reach the root of the “Why” issue, to get a better understanding of brain health as too little is known about what drives these violent behaviors. The scientific and research approach of the foundation makes sense as both Avie’s parents come from science backgrounds — Hensel has her master’s degree in pathobiology and Richman
has his Ph.D. in pharmacology, studying how different chemicals interact with the body, with an emphasis on neurosciences and the heart. “Once a deeper understanding of the mechanisms leading to violent behaviors has been established we need to educate ourselves and others with respect to how to identify and responsibly advocate for those at risk of violent behaviors,” the parents wrote on the foundation website. Hensel and Richman were able to represent the foundation in March at the announcement of the Sandy Hook Promise Innovation Initiative, a technology initiative that will target brain health, school safety and gun safety. They were able to speak on the importance of developing a technology that can measure brain functions in an affordable, accurate and accessible manner. Beyond science and figuring out how to identify and intervene when it comes to brain health, with the Avielle Foundation, they also stress building communitybased programs to strengthen connectivity, empathy and understanding. “It’s important to make everyone feel like they’re a part of the community, that they’re worth something and not ostracized or bullied,” Fultz said. “That’s where it begins.” The open-minded and open-heart approach is how Jenn and Jeremy live their everyday lives, according to Fultz. “They’re just the type of people who are so welcoming of everybody, it doesn’t matter who you are, when you’re with them you feel like you’re their best friend,” Fultz said. To register for the May 4 dinner or to make a donation, visit aviellefoundation.org.

Expert in creationism-evolution controversy addresses science education at UCSD BY CLAIRE HARLIN Science and religion are at a crossroads in our society, and when it comes to education, we’re not doing a good enough job at separating the two. This was one of several key points shared at an April 2 guest lecture by renowned anthropologist Eugenie Scott, who leads the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) and is known internationally for her expertise on the evolution-creation controversy. Locals filled the Scripps Seaside Forum at UC San Diego for the event, part of the Richard H. and Glenda G. Rosenblatt Lectureship in Evolutionary Biology, eagerly swarming Scott after the presentation as she obligingly offered additional discussion. Eugenie Scott How should we define religion? How can we teach science in a way that will not cause children to reject faith? How can one gain purpose and meaning through secular belief? This only scratches the surface of the hard questions Scott addressed at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and that she also seeks to answer through her work at NCSE — a 4,500-member organization of scientists, teachers, clergy and citizens whose mission is to educate the public and the press on the scientific aspects of the controversies that result from the collision of science and religion. “Neither atheism nor religion own science,” she said. And NCSE doesn’t just focus on evolutionary science — it recently added a department focused on climate change, an area of education that she said is gaining more and more push-back in school communities. While the two controversies —evolutionary science and climate change — are unique in themselves, Scott said the parallels between the two controversies are interestingly similar. “They are both well-supported scientific views that nobody is arguing in the scientific world, however, for the general public, this is reversed,” she said. In both, there is a clear hesitation to “be fair and teach both,” she said,

however, while the backlash against evolution education is largely from religious groups, the contention surrounding global warming is rooted in political and economic ideologies — whether that be libertarian, free market fundamentalism that advocates unregulated use of the Earth’s resources, or political conservatism that seeks to expose an alleged “liberal plot to take away individual rights,” she said. But the bottom line, she said, is that “we aren’t doing good enough,” when it comes to science education, and that’s not all the fault of the public school systems. “The ball is being dropped at the university level,” Scott said. “If high school teachers don’t understand evolution well enough to teach it, then that is the fault of higher education … It’s not sufficient to beat up on a high school teacher.” Scott explained the difference between the core ideas of science — which are so tested and understood that they are not in contention — and those that are on the “frontier” or “fringe.” Frontier ideas may eventually turn into core concepts, but may also have qualities of being ever-changing and not widely accepted. Fringe ideas are even more highly speculated and often associated with pseudoscience, and an understanding of these separate concepts is crucial, Scott argued. “People need to understand the difference,” she said, adding that the common ancestry of humans is held as a core idea of science. “Frontier ideas change and that leads people to think science is unreliable.” Scott has been both a researcher and an activist in the creationism-evolution controversy for more than 25 years. She is the author of “Evolution vs. Creationism” and co-editor, with Glenn Branch, of “Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design Is Wrong for Our Schools.” She has also represented NCSE on numerous TV programs and documentaries that have appeared on networks such as NOVA and Showtime. Four years ago, Scientific American named Scott “one of 10 outstanding leaders involved in research, business, or policy pursuits that have advanced science and technology.” The lecture was established with a generous contribution from the Rosenblatts. Richard Rosenblatt is a renowned ichthyologist and serves as curator emeritus of the Marine Vertebrates Collection, part of the Scripps Oceanographic Collections, the largest and most complete university-based oceanographic collection in the world. The Rosenblatt Lecture has been awarded annually since 2005 and each recipient receives a $3,000 cash award. For more information about NCSE, visit www.NCSE.com

The ranking marked the second straight year that the La Jolla Institute has been recognized on the U.S. list of “Best Places to Work for Postdocs,” last year earning the Number 7 position. The life science magazine’s annual ranking was based on a U.S. survey of 2,081 postgraduate researchers, known in the scientific community as “postdocs.” Postdocs have completed their doctoral degrees (Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent) and typically spend several years at a research institution, gaining training and experience under senior scientists. The survey covered workplace topics such as job satisfaction, communication, and career development. Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., La Jolla Institute’s president & chief scientific officer, said he is very pleased at obtaining a top ranking once again. “Our 150 postdocs are a critical part of the research success of this Institute,” says Dr. Kronenberg, adding that the Institute is a world leader in research focused on harnessing the power of the immune system to combat disease. “We appreciate their contributions and try to set a framework that gives them a valuable and enriching experience.” RSF resident John Major, a prominent San Diego business executive and chairman of the Institute’s Board of Directors, says it is not only the postdocs that apparently find the La Jolla Institute’s environment inspiring. Along with ranking high nationally among postdocs, the Institute also scored a Number 6 place in the “Best Places to Work in Academia” survey in 2012, which polled more than 1,000 life scientists in academic or noncommercial research institutions worldwide. “When you see this kind of positive feedback from employees, coupled with the Institute’s ranking among the world’s top organizations for research impact in immunology, you realize that something special is going on at the La Jolla Institute,” said Major. “We are fortunate to have an immunology leader of the Institute’s caliber as a member of San Diego’s world-renowned life science community.” Postdoctoral researchers interviewed cited many factors that make the La Jolla Institute’s environment exceptional, including top-notch science, collaboration between labs, policies that encourage rather than hinder novel scientific approaches, good benefits, excellent scientific resources, and a warm, friendly atmosphere that encourages interaction. “Everyone here is very accessible, including the faculty members,” says postdoc Shilpi Chandra, Ph.D., noting she was initially surprised by the Institute’s open environment. “There is a very collaborative spirit between all of the scientists. You can go and talk to anybody. It’s like a small family.” For more information, visit http://www.liai.org/ The top 10: 1. Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (Cambridge, Mass.) 2.

Local author conquers news, novels and nature BY ROB LEDONNE Author Janice Coy was reaching limits she never knew she had during a strenuous hike up Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro a few years ago. “It was so different from what I had imagined,” Coy explained from her local home. “I’m an active person, but it was still the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. You don’t know where your limit is until you reach it, and I did.” Coy learned a variety of lessons during that fateful trip, and the entire experience is the inspiration for her second book, “A Table on Kilimanjaro,” which was released this past Valentine’s Day to rave reviews, and has already landed a coveted spot as one of the top 400 in the general fiction category of the 2013 Amazon. com “Breakthrough Novel Award Contest.” The book focuses on success, something Coy has enjoyed throughout her career as a writer — but it wasn’t always easy. Starting out as a daily newspaper reporter, first for a now-defunct publication in Colorado, and then for this newspaper group’s family of papers, Coy enjoyed the perks of the job. “I basically fell into newspaper reporting, and loved everything about it, from the deadlines to the variety; every day is different, and it was a lot of fun,” she explains. “At first, I

did hard news reporting, so I wasn’t the most welcome person when I was reporting on stories. I then transitioned to features, because at least when I showed up to places, people were happy to see me.” Growing up, Coy was a “voracious reader,” and regularly devoured novels by the likes of Mary Higgins Clark and Carolyn Keene. “I had always wanted to write a novel and thought it was
going to be so easy. Little did I know, writing a novel is completely different than writing a newspaper article,” she said. When Coy was writing articles, she was accustomed to “just writing the facts. It’s a bare-bones kind of writing.” Penning a novel, on the other hand, is a whole different beast: “I had to learn the structure of novel writing, and there’s a lot of work involved; but it’s like anything —
the more practice you have at it, the better you get.” To help shake her journalism habits, Coy took a novel writing class at UCSD Extension. “I went there awhile, and then formed a critique group with some fellow students I met,” she remembers. “Being in a group and having deadlines was awesome.” Coy’s next step was to garner some interest in a manuscript she was working on. The problem was that in today’s literary climate of diminishing profits and smaller outfits, getting published and even landing an agent can be almost insurmountable. “I met with different editors and agents, but it’s a very subjective business. I had agents tell me that they loved my story but didn’t like my writing, or that they loved my writing and didn’t like my story,” Coy says. She estimates that she sent out about 80 queries, all of which were met with rejection. She was ready to put her novel aside when one of her three daughters proposed the idea that she put the book out herself. “She encouraged me and said that if only one person buys it, it’s better than just sitting unread in a drawer somewhere.” Coy posted her first novel, “A Grave in the Vegetable Garden,” on Amazon.com shortly
thereafter, and 17,000 downloads and a plethora of rave reviews later, she couldn’t be happier. “Among authors, going the self-published route is becoming a very viable option in today’s industry,” Coy said. “The path is so much easier, and it’s more rewarding in the long run.” “A Table on Kilimanjaro,” was also self published and the lessons in its story, which focus on a father’s and daughter’s hike up the mighty mountain, also echo through Coy’s life: “In the book, the mountain is almost like another character, and the theme of everything is the nature of success. Why do people climb mountains, how important is it to make it to the top, and how do you determine what success is?” For Coy, her own lesson is simple: “You can’t let other people determine for you what success is.” Coy has also been chosen twice for publication in the anthologies A Year in Ink Volumes 4 and 5, by San Diego Writers, Ink, a nonprofit literary organization. In addition, she has received honorable mentions in the national Writer’s Digest Competition, most recently for her inspirational piece “On the Frigid Slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro.” More information about Coy can be found on her website: www.janicecoy.com

Education Matters/Opinion Because hate feels so good BY MARSHA SUTTON Hearing the w o r d s , “Hate feels so good,” is shocking in itself. Marsha Sutton B u t hearing those words uttered by a former neo-nazi skinhead turned equality and human rights advocate is a stunner. To understand how a white supremacist is created, and how a racist bigot can find his humanity, check out Frank Meeink and his book “Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead.” Meeink didn’t just reject his past but overcame it to become a spokesperson for compassion and acceptance, whose only intolerance now is for those who embrace violence, hate, and artificial race, religion and class distinctions. The featured speaker at an Anti-Defamation League presentation on March 13, Meeink was in San Diego as part of the ADL’s centennial celebration of its founding in 1913.
Meeink told his compelling story with honesty and sincerity, a little sadness and regret, spiced with raw humor and earthy eloquence. It’s a journey through a landscape of hateful extremist behavior and ideology, to a place of peace and forgiveness. Born in south Philadelphia and raised Irish-Catholic, Meeink was abused as a child, but not just physically. He suffered most from neglect and disinterest. With a family life shattered by divorce, drugs, alcohol, hunger, poverty, and violent relationships, there was complete indifference to his well-being. Fear was a major part of his life. He said he feared everything – his home, school, neighborhood, parents, loneliness. “I was a broken individual,” he said. Introduced to the skinhead white supremacist movement when he was 13, Meeink found the acceptance he longed for. At last people were interested in him. With gang life, he said, “I had a purpose.”
Instead of living his life in fear, he was able to instill fear in others. It felt good to make others feel afraid, he said. He dove into the movement with enthusiasm and loyalty to the first group of people to embrace him fully. Meeink shaved his head and tattooed himself with extremist symbols and slogans – including a swastika on his neck and the letters “skin head” on his eight knuckles. “I was a jerk – an egomaniac with no self-esteem,” he said. For five years, Meeink was an active member of his gang, a recognized leader who engaged in horrendous acts of violence – over 300, he told Katie Couric in a televised interview several years ago. The usual minority groups were targeted, he said, but white people were attacked as well. “Anyone who wasn’t a part of our movement was a potential victim,” he told Couric. At the San Diego ADL event, speaking to a full auditorium of hundreds, Meeink said hate was the fuel that ignited so much violence. But when gangs got too large, members began inter-hating and would beat
up other members. “When you’re in the gutter, you look down on others worse [off],” he said. Prison time In Illinois, Meeink had his own cable access television show called “The Reich” which he used to recruit new gang members. Eventually, at age 17, he was arrested for kidnapping and assault, and was convicted and sent to prison where he befriended African-American and Hispanic inmates, mostly bonding through sports. These were people he formerly hated. In 1995, when Meeink was 20, two national events took center stage: the Oklahoma City bombing and the O.J. Simpson murder trial. As the father of a baby girl born before he was sent to prison, Meeink was profoundly affected by the images of so many dead children and babies carried out of the decimated Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. And the Simpson trial, with its focus on DNA, caused him to question the Master Race claims that people of Aryan descent are inherently superior. “DNA says that’s all bullshit,” he said. Meeink said he was
“the smartest racist in prison” who “looked up to criminals, thugs and racists all my life.” But scientists, he said, were destroying his world, by demonstrating that all races are essentially the same. When he was released from prison, he “still walked and talked like a thug,” he said, and considered himself “still an Aryan” – although he began to consider the possibility, given his prison friendships, that skin color and race are irrelevant. Nevertheless, he came out of prison saying, “I’m still gonna hate the Jews.” It’s human nature, he said. “We hate what we don’t understand.” He returned to Philly a hero and was idolized by other skinheads, but doubts began to form. Plus, he needed to find work. “When you have a swastika on your neck, these are not good people skills,” he said to uncomfortable laughter. Parents would pull their children away from him, and prospective employers rejected him. Finally, a Jewish small business owner hired him, even with the neck swastika in full view. When his first payday came, Meeink was certain his Jewish boss would cheat
him. Ingrained prejudice dies hard. But his boss gave Meeink the $300 owed – and another $100 bonus, saying Meeink was a good worker and deserved extra. Meeink was favored by his boss who taught him a little about business, mentored him, paid him well, believed in him – and most importantly, told him he wasn’t dumb. Jews, it would seem, are people too, he discovered, as he grew to respect this man who gave him a job, a future and a new way of seeing the world. As they say, if hate can be learned, it can be unlearned. A century of fighting hate Eventually, Meeink connected with the ADL, an organization he hated when he was a skinhead. But the ADL shows empathy even to racists and bigots, he said. “Now I trust and believe in the good that they do.” The ADL’s 100 years of fighting hate began in 1913 with the horrific lynching in Georgia of Jewish business owner Leo Frank, falsely accused of murder in a trial that drew national attention to the scourge of anti-Semi-

SON continued from page 3 convoy, training Afghan counterparts, but mostly the “Bastards” were looking for Taliban. “We’d get Intelligence that certain things were about to happen. We’d meet with the village elders and they’d tell us things or not. We set up observation posts (OPs) on mountains, leaving at dark and climbing all night. There were times when the soldiers were on their hands and knees dragging their packs, avoiding trails because of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). “Being at high altitude was terrible,” Popescu remembers, “At first our lungs just couldn’t do it…The next day, we’d spend a whole day watching and searching for whatever Intel wanted.” The “best” firefight happened in Naka near OP Yankees [mountain], where
TREE continued from page 1 them are as thin as straws.” “We’re not a bunch of lumberjacks, we don’t want it to look like St. Andrews with no trees,” said Bill Roberts, head of the RSF Golf Club Green Committee. He said he understands that there are a lot of emotions involved, but the club spent more than a year working on the tree plan based on science. “It’s not a willy-nilly plan,” Roberts said. “Each and every tree has a reason to be removed and also several of them will be replaced. We think we have a good plan…a net loss of 102 of 2,000 trees on the course seems to be a reasonable plan.” There is some disagreement on the number of trees that had already been removed between July and October of 2012, before it was brought to the attention of the RSF Association. Boon said that there have been at least 75 trees cut down, documented by invoices. Roberts argued that the club has only removed five unauthorized trees — “We made a mistake” — but he said the rest were all left over from the 2002 master plan and were previously approved to be taken down. In those cases, better communication from the club was desired by some. Philippe Charat, who lives near the fifth fairway, said he awoke to hear the buzz of trees being taken
Taliban are prevalent. While on a rooftop observing part of the village, sniper rifle shots started hitting the wall directly behind Popescu and his Gunner. “We ran off the roof and they lit us up pretty good.” They laid low while the Gunner shoulderfired over 900 rounds from a 240L machine gun at any possible movement. “My job was to help him spot targets, load rounds and change the barrels. I got some shots off, too.” The experience was best because, oddly, Popescu never felt like his life was on the line. Mom Sandy chimes in, “You forgot chatter on the radio said the sniper had locked on you.” Alex reminds that as soon as these things happen, they call in everything. “There’s no sweeter sound than Kiowa or Apache helos and F-18 jets flying over. You know if you see them coming, the enemy sees them too and they’re terrified.”
Unfortunate events that occurred during guard duty week led to the “worst” firefight. “We took a mortar round at COP Zerok. Staff Sergeant Matthew Stiltz was hit with shrapnel and, sadly, later died. Two days after, outside the chow hall, Popescu’s Platoon Sergeant was knocked to the ground by the shock wave of a nearby mortar round. He spent a month recuperating and ended up with a stutter. “We were all very angry,”Alex said. “We wanted to go out and find these guys and bring them to justice” Chaos exploded on OP Twins, a former American patrol site. “Our mission was to sneak up at night and catch the enemy coming to shoot mortars at us. After we got set in, the enemy detonated an IED and Sergeant Channing Bo Hicks and Sergeant Joseph Richardson were, unfortunately, in the kill radius. When Intel reported the insurgents had IEDs all over the mountain
and were going to blow them all up, leadership pulled the platoon several hundred meters back with no time to recover their buddies. “The enemy started walking in their mortars at us,” Popescu recounts, “My gunner and I thought ‘dude, this is it’. Luckily my gunner spotted the launch site and we started unloading on them. Our own mortar teams and air support lit up the mountain. It was the most amazing array of air support I’d ever seen.” When everything had calmed, the Commanding Officer asked for volunteers to recover the bodies of Hicks and Richardson. Popescu stepped up. “I didn’t want their squad mates to see them like that. My squad leader was best friends with one of them and was going and I didn’t want him to do it alone.” That effort earned Alex an Army Commendation Medal for “Exceptional val-
orous service as a rifleman. PFC Popescu exposed himself to immediate improvised explosive devices to recover and medevac his two fallen heroes.” “It was a rough day,” summarizes Popescu, “there’s nothing that can prepare you for that.” Popescu and his team did what no others could do before them. They climbed eight different mountains first and best. “We were such a cohesive group — so in sync with one another. We didn’t need arm signals because we knew just by looking at each other what to do and when to do it without being told.” PFC Alexander Popescu wears his heart on his forearm, tattooed with the names Stiltz, Hicks and Richardson along with the logo of 3rd platoon “Bastards” — the misfits who nailed the enemy with valor.
GARDEN
down one morning. Three trees in front of his home were gone, trees that protected him from wayward golf balls and gave a “magnificent frame looking out to the golf course.” He said not only is that view now altered, he is finding wayward balls on their lawn with greater frequency, concerning him about the safety of his five grandchildren. “Nobody bothered to call or discuss this with me or give me an explanation,” said Charat, who is a member at the Golf Club. “The hubris and the attitude of the Golf Club, as far as I’m concerned, cannot be forgiven.” During public input by 15 speakers, some in attendance characterized the management plan as a “massive removal,” “overly aggressive” and a “disaster,” but Fleming said that is not the truth. “I’m taken aback by anyone who feels that we’re trying to butcher trees,” Fleming said. Fleming said the management plan takes aim specifically to counteract conditions of invasive insects such as lerp psyllids, tortoise beetles, glassywinged sharpshooters and citrus psyllids. They are also looking at groups of eucalyptus, California pepper trees and blackwood acacias out on the course that are dying and in decline. With the new plan, they have focused on trees with a natural resistance to those invasive insects, as well as species that give the
course more diversity while being compatible with the Rancho Santa Fe landscape theme, Fleming said. New trees in the plan include cork oaks, holly oaks, sycamores and species of eucalyptus that are less-susceptible to disease, such as lemon-scented eucalyptus. “We’re trying to get a biodiversity of plant material so if one insect or one disease comes in it doesn’t take out the whole forest,” Fleming said. Another factor driving the tree management plan is winter playing conditions on the course. During the winter months, the course undergoes what Fleming calls the “ice cube effect.” When the sun angles are low, the clay soil fills with water and those 28-degree nights can freeze the soil. With the trees blocking the sunlight, it creates a cube of ice and basically turns the course to mud. That results in “municipal-like” turf conditions at a course that is world class and one of the best in California, Fleming said. An alternative solution to tree removal could be a process known as “sand capping” in which a layer of sand mix would be added to the fairways, restoring the natural contours, improving the draining and replacing the turf. Unfortunately, sand capping is very expensive and time consuming, Roberts said. It could cost up to $250,0000 and the fairways would have to be shut down for 60 to 90 days.
Boon pointed out that it has been reported that several strategies have been undertaken to deal with difficult soil, such as the development of wells and a reverse osmosis system, removing non-native plants and renovating tee areas. She said it’s the Golf Club’s “belief” that tree removal will improve course conditions but not a certainty. “Is the Golf Club willing to sacrifice all these trees in the interest of saving money and in the hope and ‘belief’ that it will improve the drainage and playing conditions in the winter?” Boon asked. “Should good custodians select the cheapest plan, the most expedient plan or do they develop the best plan for the long-term health, beauty and playability of the course?” The RSF Association’s Committee on Natural Environment (CONE) and the Trails Committee have both toured the course and reviewed the management plan and would like to see more revisions done. Bill Beckman, chair of CONE, said input from certified arborists and soil scientists should be included before the final plan and said the committee had concerns that there was not a detailed phasing plan for proposed removals. “All of the trees being suddenly removed would have a dramatic impact on the perspective of the course,” Beckman said. “Our trees are one of the most spectacular and beautiful parts of the community and the golf course trees are the
most visible in all of the Covenant.” Jerry Yahr, chair of the Trails Committee, said that they strongly support a cooperative effort between the Association and the Golf Club to develop a master plan that will work for everyone. Yahr said of the 65 percent of trees planned for removal that would impact the trail system, the committee didn’t have a problem with only 15 percent of them. The rest, he said, are considered valuable for providing a nice buffer between the trail and the golf course, and providing shade on the trails that heat up in warmer months and those that create those “nice skyline views” that would be lost. Yahr said the Trails Committee does feel the landscape needs to be upgraded and wondered if the Association could use Covenant Enhancement Fund monies to create a trail system landscape in keeping with the plans and goals of the Golf Club. Of the 15 speakers during public comment, 11 were in opposition to the management plan. They lamented the loss of specimen and signature trees and voiced disappointment in the Golf Club’s tactics. “In my opinion the ambiance and beauty of our great old golf course will be significantly impacted and it will take many, many years to replace those trees,” said Tim Sullivan, a Golf Club member since 1996. “There has to be a better alternative, a less severe alterna-
tive.” Others spoke in favor of the plan, arguing that the health and well-being of the course is integral to the health and well-being of the community. George Scott, a Golf Club member since 1985, said that the plan really only removes about one tree per acre, leaving 18 trees per acre. “It’s not being done with malice or to make the property look worse, it’s to make the property look better,” Scott said. Scott pointed out that when the Association took out trees in the village a few years back, he trusted that they were making the right decision as stewards of the property. He asked that the membership do the same and trust that the Golf Club is making the best decisions for the long-term benefit of the club. As the April 3 meeting was an informational public meeting and the first time the RSF Association board and the Art Jury heard a formal presentation of the plan, no action was taken. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith said the Golf Club will now take the member input it received and make any revisions it deems necessary to the plan. A formal submission of the plan will then be made to the Art Jury. The RSF Association board will eventually have final authority on whether the plan is approved.
continued from page 1 property in the consent area. Per the regulatory code, where the Association owns property within the consent area the applicant (the RSF Garden Club) must make the request for the consent to count. Once the Association has the neighbors’ approval for the proposed re-zoning, a notice about the proposed re-zoning will be sent to the entire Covenant membership, likely at the beginning of May, according to Smith. Covenant members will then have 30 days to file an opposition petition. If a petition is filed then a vote on the re-zoning will be sent out to the entire Association membership. However, if all goes as planned, the purchase of the RSF Garden Club by the RSF Association should be final around June 30.

EDUCATION continued from page 26 tism in the United States at the time. Originally founded to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, the ADL has become a pre-eminent force for social justice and fair treatment for all people, regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. The ADL also helps law enforcement by providing counterterrorism training and sharing vital statistics that track trends on emerging and existing hate groups. The theme for the ADL’s centennial year is: “Imagine a World without Hate.” And this is the message Frank Meeink now spreads. Today, Meeink is 37, married with children and grateful for his second chance at life. He is a speaker and author who frequently travels throughout the country to talk to high school teens, the media and other groups about his transformative journey into the seductive safety of hate groups and his escape from the confines of distorted extremist ideologies. [See his Website – www.
frankmeeink.com.] Once a well-respected leader of skinheads who now gets death threats, Meeink is founder of “Harmony Through Hockey” for teens and a board member of “Life After Hate,” a group of former white supremacists and neo-nazis who “work with others to help the next guys be free of hate.” “We are there when those guys see it’s not panning out,” he said. When asked how he can convince skinheads to take a different path, Meeink said you don’t go into a bar at happy hour and try to recruit for Alcoholics Anonymous. So they don’t crash skinhead meetings and try to convert members. “But we are there for them when they are ready,” he said. The group helps the disaffected understand that nothing good is ever forecast when “the Master Race” is supposed to take over. Bad stuff always follows, he said, when you hear a sentence that starts with this: “When the Master Race takes over …” Meeink confirmed that neo-nazi and white supremacist gangs continue to thrive, with the Internet making it easy to reach out
to lost souls. California is the largest center of hate in the country, and southern California is home to the greatest number of white supremacist and racist gangs in the state, he said. One planet He answered one question from the audience without missing a beat: What’s the one thing above all else that would have kept you from becoming a skinhead? “Good parenting,” he replied. “Hands down.” When he was growing up, if someone had just said to him, “How was your day, Frank?” when he came home from school, his life may have turned out very differently, he said. Although his arms are covered with ink, he advises young people to never get tattoos, “especially the name of your girlfriend.” That’s just stupid, he said. After he left the movement, he discussed his regret for his infamous neck swastika in a newspaper interview that was read by a dermatologist who offered her services to remove the offensive tattoo. He accepted the offer, but said he had no money

RSF Fire Department: Two simple steps can save a life When someone suffers cardiac arrest, every second counts. The longer a patient goes without Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), the less likely their chance of survival. Unfortunately, that is what happens all too often. According to the American Heart Association, 70 percent of Americans feel helpless during emergency situations and hesitate to act. To help ease fears and increase the chances of patients getting the assistance they need, the AHA has developed Hands-Only CPR. Hands-Only CPR involves two simple steps: 1. Call 9-11 and 2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest. “Too often bystanders do not offer aid to a patient because they can’t remember all the steps to traditional CPR, are afraid of doing it
incorrectly, or are wary of giving mouth-to-mouth breaths to a stranger,” said Mary Murphy, emergency services coordinator. “The goal of hands-only CPR is to simplify the process and encourage more people to attempt life-saving measures in emergency situations.” First, call 9-1-1 or assign someone to do so. Second, place one hand on top of the other, interlacing the fingers and push hard and fast in the center of the chest using the heel of the hand. To help CPR givers deliver chest compression at the correct intervals, the AHA recommends doing so to the beat of the song “Stayin’ Alive.” Continue giving compressions until help arrives. “It cannot be stressed enough that doing something is better than doing
nothing,” said Murphy. “Even incorrect chest compressions are more effective than no chest compressions.” For more information about Hands-Only CPR and other life-safety information, please visit www.rsffire.org. The mission of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District is “To protect life, property, and environment through prevention, preparedness, education and emergency response.” Formed in 1946, the Fire District now spans approximately 38-square miles and protects over 29,000 citizens. The Fire District currently operates out of four full-time fire stations and serves the communities within and surrounding Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and 4S-Ranch. — RSF Fire Department

Del Mar, Solana Beach stops on local man’s marathon dating schedule BY CLAIRE HARLIN If you happened to visit the Free Flight bird sanctuary in Del Mar on April 7 or catch wind at the Torrey Pines Gliderport on April 5, you might have spotted San Diegan Tim King on a date there. Or for that matter, if you’ve hiked Poway’s Mt. Woodson, gone paintballing at Velocity Paintball Park in Ramona or taken surf lessons at La Jolla Shores’ Menehune Surf in the last few weeks, it’s also likely you may have run into King — with a different woman each time. King has been on different dates all over San Diego County with different women every day since March 20, and his little black book is completely full through mid-April. But this ladies’ man’s actions are a far cry from reality TVstyle drama and his intentions have nothing to do with infidelity. “Nothing about this is directly benefitting me,” said King, a 27-yearold local photographer. “I just think a lot of people don’t have enough fun in their life and this is just another way of inspiring people to get out and enjoy their life. Life’s short and there’s a lot out there to enjoy.” King was inspired to embark on this dating marathon — 30 dates in 30 days — after downloading Details Matter, a new mobile app launched four months ago by San Diegan Mark Wills that provides a public forum and database of local date ideas. Having participated in a few other 30-day challenges that in-
Tim King is the brains behind ‘30 Dates in 30 Days,’ a project to promote the Details Matter app and bring attention to San Diego’s vast array of fun dating activities. COURTESY PHOTO volved blogging, video-making and even showering with cold water for a month straight, King thought a dating challenge would the be the perfect way to showcase — and put to the test — Wills’ app. “I had a launch party to kick off the app and Tim King got wind of the invitation and came … He approached me at the party and said, ‘How would you feel about doing a dating marathon?’ and I thought it was perfect,” Wills said. “I really have to give him credit on the concept. He’s such an outgoing social media expert, blogger and world traveler. His whole brand is thinking outside the box and he’s really creative.” King often travels the world photographing destination weddings,
and he said when he saw the app for the first time, he instantly thought about its ability to allow people to vacation in their own hometown. “I just thought the idea was really good,” said King, who said he scaled back his usual work schedule and turned down assignments in order to give the dating marathon his full attention. “I wanted to be part of it and I wanted to get the idea out there.” Wills works in the real estate industry, but decided to take a chance on launching Details Matter after the idea came to him. “It just spawned in my head one day when I realized dates can be so boring,” said Wills, a San Diego State University alumnus.
The process of working with a third party to design and build the app took about a year, and he hopes to launch the app nationwide after it takes off in San Diego. “I figure there’s no better place to launch a dating activity concept than here, where there’s so much to offer in terms of things to do,” Wills said, adding that the app also contains offers and specials associated with the businesses involved. King is photographing and blogging about each of the dates, donated by local businesses featured in the app, at www.detailsmatterapp.com. Each and every place King goes is featured on the app itself, and he’s trying to keep the dates varied and companions diverse. Not only is he going on a date with a 63-year-old woman who is flying to San Diego from Seattle for a date with him, but he is also going out with a local gay man who expressed interest in the concept. He said he is not only trying to make a statement, but inspire others to have fun and not care what others think. “A lot of these adventure dates, for example, I’ve already done before, but doing them now eases the fear for others to see me do it or do it with me,” said King. “In the case of going on a date with a gay man, it lets people know that I’m serious about wanting to push people out of their comfort zone.” For more information, visit www.detailsmatterapp.com or www. timkingblog.com.

La Jolla Cultural Partners
Cathedral Catholic High School, Outreach Through Dance, Feeding the Soul Foundation, and Make-A-Wish San Diego are all supporters of Tehya Foussat as she fulfills her vision to create a day of inspiration and celebration with Tehyathon, a 5K Fundraiser, an Inspiration Walk, and a Celebration Concert on Sunday, April 21. Doors open for the event at 1 p.m.; the sporting event starts at 2 p.m. and the concert ends at 8 p.m. The event will be held at Cathedral Catholic High School, 5555 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego, 92130. “When Make-A-Wish San Diego asked me what I wanted, it was easy to answer, I want to celebrate the people who have helped Tehyathon and to inspire others to make a difference in their communities,” said Tehya. “No matter what circumstances you are facing, you always have the choice to inspire people and to celebrate the wonderful things that are happening.” Tehyathon, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded by Tehya and her former teacher, Martin Reisert. Tehyathon was formed with the purpose of raising funds to increase awareness of a serious birth condition called Spina Bifida. The organization offers support to patients and their families who live with the challenges of Spina Bifida and its related conditions. In addition, they also focus on serving those in need with its Tenderness Totes Program. The event will feature Adaptive Sporting Events, including wheelchair races for our friends with medical or mobility challenges – celebrating and commemorating them as Honorary Tehyathon Athletes for the Day. There will be a minicarnival and a jumper for the kids, vendor booths, a variety of food trucks and snack booths available during the festivities. There will be lots of entertainment on the field during the races. The day will conclude by honoring the Tehyathon Athletes, volunteers, and donors with a Celebration Concert produced by Feeding the Soul Foundation and Outreach Through Dance, featuring inspirational speakers, singers from the San Diego music scene, high-energy hip-hop and contemporary dancers, and other performing artists. Charitable contributions and donations received
throughout the day will benefit the Tehyathon Tenderness Totes Program, which are “survival packs” for the homeless and anyone in need. Generous donations will allow Tehyathon to create and distribute more Totes within the community. With past support from our Athletes and Donors, Tehyathon has distributed over 600 Tenderness Totes to those who need them most. Our goal is to give away over 1000 totes by June 1, 2013. For more information, please visit www.tehyathon.com. Tehya was born with the most severe form of Spina Bifida. Lipomyelomeningocele occurs when the spinal cord is exposed through an opening in the spine, resulting in partial or complete paralysis of parts of the body. The paralysis may be so severe that the affected individual is unable to walk, and he or she may have other issues affecting neurological function. Tehya’s parents were told before she was born that she might have little to no quality of life. To that they replied, “Well thank goodness you are not in charge of her quality of life!” So she he grew up without boundaries and there was no activity or sport that was beyond her reach. Soon the girl who wasn’t supposed to walk became a competitive cheerleader, gymnast and swimmer. Even though she’s had multiple surgeries throughout her life, she thrived in her active environment and with the patient support of her gymnastics coach, she was able to tumble and cheer with her teammates. A few months after her third spinal cord surgery, her medical condition mysteriously deteriorated and she started to lose function. She was no longer able to walk or run, and she suffered from debilitating headaches, neck and back pain, and several other neurological deficits. She was no longer able to attend school regularly and was tutored at home. Once active with friends and after-school activities, she spent her days at doctor appointments and in bed with severe pain. After months of traveling and endless hours of research, Tehya and her parents were finally able to get the answers
Tehya that they needed from a specialist in New York. The recommendation was for Tehya to undergo a radical spinal cord surgery, but Tehya and her family decided to try alternative therapies before contemplating another serious operation. Through all of this, Tehya worked diligently through her pain, and although she missed many days of school due to severe pain and illness, she was able to maintain her 4.0 grade point average. She went on to run for ASB President and won the honor to represent her school.
continued to struggle through painful days, but she made it through and actually received two awards at her graduation ceremony. She received the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence which is given to students who are able to maintain a 4.0 GPA. She also received the esteemed “Heart of Our School Award”, which is given to two students each year. This award recognized Tehya as someone who consistently displayed the “Six Pillars of Character” — trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Although Tehya has faced many obstacles in her life, she does not let those challenges stop her from enjoying herself, inspiring others, and participating in many activities. She hopes to make a difference in this world with her positive, uplifting attitude. She found her strength when it was so difficult to continue; she used her talents to compensate for her medical condition, and she is sharing her gifts to support the Spina Bifida community and provide loving care to the homeless and those in need.

Amaya La Jolla’s main dining room is opulent with classic charm.
Ornate Amaya lets you dine like the chairman of the board BY KELLEY CARLSON he newly opened Amaya La Jolla is carrying on the traditions of its sister restaurant in “Grand” style. Located just a few blocks from the ocean, the 10,000square-foot restaurant is very similar to its counterpart in The Grand Del Mar: same look, same service and same quality, Executive Chef Camron Woods noted. “It’s a fine-dining experience without pretentiousness,” he said. Inspired by Italy’s palazzos and Roman architecture, designer Warren Sheets created an ornate dining space utilizing polished Italian marble; hand-carved stone accents; wrought-iron and crystal chandeliers hanging from elaborate ceilings; walls that display fine art featuring idyllic scenes; and shades of ochre, aubergine and gold throughout the rooms. The main entrance has tall and elegant iron gates; the indoor veranda incorporates skylights, a heated floor, and windows that open onto the outdoor patio. Amaya La Jolla presents a contemporary American menu that is similar to the original Amaya, with a bit of an added Southern touch, and items can be customized as needed. To fully get a taste of Amaya, “be adventurous,” Woods recommended. “If you’re on the fence, try it.” The main dinner menu — offered from 5 to 10 p.m. daily, with nothing over $40 — features appetizers such as Buttermilk Fried Quail with smoked mac and cheese and cole slaw, Seared Day Boat Scallops, Angus Beef Carpaccio, and Sautéed Skate Wing and Veal Sweetbreads.

■ This week’s recipe: Amaya’s Spicy Chile-Lime Shrimp Crispy Branzini with confit fennel, tomatoes and Niçoise olives and tangerine sauce; Seared Sea Bass with celery five ways and roasted chicken jus; and Braised Veal Osso Buco Cannelloni with Beech mushroom ragout. For a bit more casual cuisine, Woods prepares Daily Rustic Southern Specials — a reflection of his heritage. “You can have fine dining or the antithesis of it,” he said with a chuckle. These comfort foods include fried chicken, gumbo, shrimp & grits, BBQ baby-back ribs, lightly breaded market fish, smoked pulled pork and mini meatloaf. They’re served with sides of cheddar-herb biscuits, jalapeño cornbread and deviled eggs, for $24. The children’s menu is also informal,
with selections such as burgers, grilled fish, chicken, pizza, barbecue sandwiches. And there’s no shortage of wines to pair with the dishes with more than 300 labels, all under $100. Instead of coming in at prime time, he suggests arriving for a leisurely dinner around 5-5:30 p.m., and then heading into Amaya’s nightclub/sports bar/tapas bar, Club M, at the back of the establishment. Beginning at 7 nightly, there’s live music — ranging in styles from American Songbook and jazz to contemporary, rock and Top 40 — and the lounge is usually in full swing from 8-9:30 p.m., according to Woods. While the dinner menu is reserved for the dining room, patrons are still able to order

Erik Skoldberg Gallery opens at the Del Mar Plaza
New retailers coming to Del Mar Highlands Town Center
Erik Skoldberg, a contemporary artist and resident of San Diego, has opened his first gallery at the Del Mar Plaza. Erik Skoldberg Gallery showcases Skoldberg’s original fine art in a 2,000-square-foot space on the Plaza’s third level. Skoldberg is known for large-scale, abstract paintings that explore vivid color schemes. A native of La Jolla, Skoldberg grew up surfing and traveling, and cites nature and the ocean as primary influences in his work. Inspired by the vibrant hues found in earth’s elements, the artist’s ultimate goal is to present a new vision of possible color combinations. Using acrylic on canvas, the painter experiments with fluid brushstrokes, layering, and blended colors, resulting in pieces that portray passion, movement, and a sense of curiosity. In selecting a location for his first gallery, Skoldberg identified a niche in the Plaza’s art scene. Michael Seewald Galleries, located on the street level at the Plaza, was the only other fine art gallery, and Skoldberg’s contemporary paintings could provide the Plaza with a creative balance, offering a wider selection of artistic genres. He says, “I saw a need for a wonderful contemporary gallery in Del Mar. My mission is to bring contemporary art to this community, and to create a place of gathering where visitors can experience my art and where they can express themselves.� In the spirit of contributing to the community, Erik Skoldberg Gallery will host art classes for both children and adults on a weekly basis, to be taught by local artist and art teacher Gloria Skoldberg. Erik Skoldberg Gallery is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. The gallery is located at 1555 Camino Del Mar, Suite 117, on the Del Mar Plaza’s top level. For more information, please visit www.erikskoldberg.com. For more information about the Del Mar Plaza, visit www.delmarplaza.com.

North Coast Rep’s revival of ‘The Odd Couple’ plays for laughs BY DIANA SAENGER With more than 30 plays and almost the same number of movie scripts to his credit (most adapted from his plays) Neil Simon is one of A m e r i c a ’s most prolific writers. He’s received more Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer. His comedy “The Odd Couple,” w h i c h earned Simon a Tony Award in 1965, is on stage at the North Coast Repertory Theatre through May 5. Taking on a show this iconic is a brave move said Louis Lotorto, a native of Seattle who portrays the neurotic, neat-freak news writer Felix, who moves in with his sloppy sportswriter friend Oscar. “It’s interesting that ‘The Odd Couple’ is getting a revival, as Neil Simon’s plays are rarely done in community theaters,” Lotorto said. “But David (Ellenstein, artistic director at NCRT) knows his show business. We met in Portland years ago and I was very excited to get a call (from him) to play Felix.” Lotorto said he was exposed to “The Odd Couple” as a child when his father, a community theater actor, had the role of Felix. “I went to many of the rehearsals, so I know the character well, but steeping into an iconic role is always a challenge,” Lotorto said. “You have to divorce yourself from the other actors who played those roles and carve out your own way. To
try to play Jack Lemon would be a disservice to the audience. And that’s tricky, as a lot of people may expect something similar to what they’re used to, and may be resistant to a different interpretation. You have to make it your own and also work with the other person on stage.” Lotorto said he’s is excited to work again with Andrew Barnicle, who is directing “The Odd Couple.” “We have a great cast,” Lotorto said. “Matt Thompson (Oscar) and I have a simpatico that I felt from the first day.” Lotorto added that a chance to work in a Simon play is an actor’s joy. “The best material out there is Shakespeare and Neil is the Shakespeare of the 20th century, in terms of writing and text. He’s an amazing craftsman who is able to blend very funny dialogue with real pathos, real situations and real topics. Behind the humor lies real pain, which I think comes from his own life. “Neil also deals with middle America, as does ‘The Odd Couple.’ It has a quick character identity with a lot of exposition, but it’s so well crafted, you don’t know it’s exposition. Before anyone speaks at the poker table, you know instantly the pecking order of these four poker players, due to the great character development by Neil.” Lotorto promised, “There will be raucous

In deciphering the meaning behind these strange episodes, students will discover secrets containing profound insights into the meaning of life. “Whether you are fascinated by the Talmud and Jewish mysticism, or whether you are seeking a fun and meaningful experience, you won’t want to miss this course,” said Raskin the local JLI instructor in Rancho Santa Fe. “The material is as relevant as ever, promising to deepen the way we understand ourselves, our universe, and our relationships with the people we love.” Like all JLI programs, “Curious Tales of the Talmud” is designed to appeal to

The Side Street Strutters
‘Save The Best For Last’: Side Street Strutters perform at R. Roger Rowe School The 2012-2013 Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe season showcased amazing performers, each concert seemingly better than the last. The final concert, featuring The Side Street Strutters, a talented group of musicians dedicated to the musical traditions of early New Orleans Jazz, was outstanding and seemed that they did save the best for last. Prior to the evening concert, the group appeared in a mini-concert for the band students of the R. Roger Rowe School. The Strutters taught the students the differences of jazz styles, demonstrating musically with well-known compositions of New Orleans, Dixieland, Blues, and Swing. The students responded enthusiastically and learned their lessons well! Each performer talked about their particular instrument and how they began their musical careers, each story designed to encourage the young students to continue their own study of music. The highlight of the afternoon was the unexpected “guest artist” Max Bregman, 8, a student at the school who played a trumpet solo, Star Wars, with such incredible stage presence that all were amazed. In all, it was another extraordinary learning opportunity and musical experience for the students of this community, sponsored by Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe (http://www.communityconcertsofranchosantafe.com/).

Lion’s Mane Traditional use of mushrooms for both food and healing properties predate written history. Many species of mushrooms contain active compounds that have medicinal properties. Lion’s Mane is one of these. Relished for its taste and considered a delicacy by royalty in the East before it became cultivated, this unusual mushroom is interesting by nature. Its common name was given by our ancestors because of its unique appearance as a cascade of white icicles that resemble a shaggy mane. It inhabits North America as well as China and Japan where recent scientific research of this edible species has isolated compounds with unique properties specific to the nervous system. Hericeum erinaceus, the scientific name for this mushroom contains nerve growth factor. This important compound has potential use for memory enhancement and nerve repair from injury. Available as a liquid tincture or freeze-dried capsule the full spectrum of micro-nutrients can optimize immunity and nervous system health.

The Powerhouse defense kept the competition off the bases in pool play and elimination, but it was the power of their bats that got them to the Championship game. In its 12th year of operation, Del Mar Powerhouse offers competitive baseball programs for children ages 7-14 in the Del Mar, Carmel Valley, RSF and surrounding areas. This year, Powerhouse is fielding eight highly competitive teams and is playing in tournaments throughout the western US.

The lively cast of Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Assassins’ at the Cygnet Theatre in Old Town. PHOTO/RICH SOUBLET II
‘Assassins’ is funny, musically on target, and makes you think BY DIANA SAENGER Let’s Review! Stephen Sondheim definitely marches to his own beat, and he proves that in Cygnet Theatre’s production of “Assassins.” Paying any kind of homage to those who have killed — or tried to kill — presidents of the United States, actually seems to work in this innovative farce. With such notorious characters as John Wilkes Booth (Braxton Molinaro), Lee Harvey Oswald (Jacob Caltrider), John Hinckley, Jr. (K rt Norby), Sara Jane Moore (Melinda Gilb), Jason Maddy (Leon Czolgosz), Jaycob Hunter (Guiseppe Zangara), Geno Carr (Charles Guiteau), Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme (Melissa Fernandes), and Manny Fernandes (Samuel Byck), it’s no surprise this show has filled many prominent stages since its inception in 1990. As we learn through song, some of these killers acted quickly and on their own, but Sondheim has chosen to mock this idea, like when Oswald has to be told, blow by blow, how to shoot Kennedy. Caltrider of-
If you go What: Killer Sondheim musical, “Assassins” When: Matinees, evenings to April 28 Where: Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs Street, San Diego Tickets: $24-$59 Box Office: (619) 3371525 Web: cygnettheatre. com fers up a shy and not-so-evil Oswald, until John Wilkes Booth gives him instructions. Booth, as most know, was responsible for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Molinaro is excellent in bringing this assassin to life. He’s merciless and finds glee in helping to fill the Wanted posters with other presidential assassins. Then there are the two female assassins. Gilb, a resident artist at Cygnet, is always spot-on in her portrayals. She plays Moore (who attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford) for laughs with
the attitude of a mother at a picnic who left the chicken at home. She’s hilarious, especially when she practices shooting into a bucket of KFC. A Charles Mason follower, Fromme also attempted to assassinate Ford. Fernandes is a little more rigid in her portrayal, almost bringing chills through her naiveté about her actions. Murray has not missed a single beat in his direction, layering the nine stories in “Assassins,” and staying true to the book by John Weidman. The set design by Ryan Grossheim works well, always keeping a somber theme. David Brannen’s choreography is superb, and music director Patrick Marion keeps every song true to the book. One of my favorites, “Everybody’s Got the Right To Dream,” features the foreshadowing lyric, “so pick your apple and take a bite.” Along with all the musical fun, Sondheim has given this show a thought-provoking tone, giving one pause to consider dreams, America, and where our county is at today.
Sanford-Burnham to hold Camp Bring It! at Del Mar Fairgrounds Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) will host its annual Bring It! event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on April 25 in support of stem cell research at the Institute. Former San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders will co-chair with founding chairs Stath and Terry Karras. This year’s theme, Camp Bring It!, will challenge guests with a variety of fun camp-themed games. This unique fundraising event opens with a networking reception attended by San Diego’s business A-listers. Then the games begin, with guests organized into teams, competing for the title of 2013 Bring It! Champion. Celebrating its fifth year, Bring It! is a sort of “ungala,” abandoning formal wear for a rowdy atmosphere and good-natured rivalry. Among its many strengths, Sanford-Burnham is known for its world-class capabilities in stem cell research. Sanford-Burnham researchers are harnessing the latest stem cell technology to tackle diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), brain tumors and heart disease, as well as spinal cord and brain injuries. A variety of sponsorship opportunities are offered to businesses wishing to reach an active, affluent audience.

RSF Senior Center: Preventing Falls; Celebrating William Shakespeare BY TERRIE LITWIN, RSF SENIOR CENTER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Practical Tips for Preventing Falls As we age, sight, hearing, muscle strength, coordination and reflexes change, impacting our balance. A wet floor, a rug, uneven pavement or curbs can trigger a loss of balance resulting in a fall. Falls can occur anytime while engaging in everyday activities such as climbing stairs or getting in or out of the shower or bath. Some health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and circulatory problems can increase the risk of falling. Medications can also sometimes cause dizziness and increase your risk for falling. One out of every Terrie Litwin three persons aged 65 or older falls each year. Please join us at the Senior Center on Friday, April 19, at 2 p.m. to learn what you can do to prevent falls. Jim Prussack, licensed physical therapist, will give practical information on fall prevention that you can use to reduce your risk. He will discuss why falls happen and what you can do to reduce your chances of having a fall. He will also discuss the importance of “fall-proofing” yourself and your environment.
Celebrating William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564. An English poet and playwright, he is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s most esteemed dramatist. He is also referred to as “England’s national poet” and the “Bard of Avalon.” Come celebrate the Bard’s birthday with Union-Tribune columnist Richard Lederer, who will highlight Shakespeare’s astonishing contributions to our English language. Richard will be joined by Alex Sandie and other members of the San Diego Shakespeare Society, who will perform excerpts from the plays and sonnets. Richard Lederer is the author of more than 40 books about language, history, and humor, and has been profiled in magazines as diverse as The New Yorker, People, and the National Inquirer. He is founding co-host of “A Way With Words.” Dr. Lederer’s syndicated column, “Looking at Language,” appears in newspapers and magazines throughout the United States. He has been named the International Punster of the Year and Toastmasters Internationals’s Golden Gavel winner. Please join us at the Senior Center on Tuesday, April 23, at 10 a.m., for an entertaining morning celebrating Shakespeare’s birthday! Seating is limited – please call to reserve your space (858) 756-3041. Calling all literature lovers!

This year, for the first time, artist participation has been open to all California residents. This juried art show features over 50 artists from well-known masters of the landscape to new talent. Guests are encouraged to hike the Reserve during all of April and the beginning of May to observe dozens of artists at work. These paintings will be judged and awarded cash prizes and ribbons at noon on Saturday and then be available for sale the weekend of the festival.

Get all your duck eggs in a row — they are delicious! The Kitchen Shrink BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN A die-hard eggovore, I never met one I didn’t love. Scrambled, hard boiled, over easy, poached, Rocky Mountain toast, frittatas, omelets and deviled. Of course, we’re talking about chicken eggs, right? But the latest egg on the celebrity chef’s radar, and dubbed by Bon Appétit magazine as one of the 25 hottest trends this year is the duck egg. That’s no yolk. Here’s an egg primer so you can choose between the hen house and the duck farm. Quack, quack! Albumin Alert While hen’s eggs are nature’s almost perfect package, they represent the most common food allergy in children, snagging roughly 2.5 percent. This allergy to either the white, yolk or both is usually outgrown by age 5, but can be a nasty one. A friend of mine has a son who is so allergic to albumin (the protein in egg whites), that he developed an asthmatic reaction when he merely stepped foot into the kitchen as she was whisking egg whites for a lemon meringue pie. While duck eggs contain different proportions of amino acids, they tend to be a less offensive food allergen. Many people with hen egg allergies or sensitivities have been found to tolerate (and enjoy) duck eggs beautifully. (Standing advice: If you have a chicken egg allergy, check with your doctor before eating duck eggs). The Mighty Duck Eggs Duck eggs trump their hen counterparts
in nutritional value, in part as they are better endowed, particularly in terms of the yolk volume. The large, thick white surrounding the rich golden orb together contain one-third more calcium than chick’s eggs, five times the amount of stress-relieving B vitamins, three times as much iron, twice the amount of Vitamin A and folate, along with more protein, selenium, and potassium. Down Side of Duck Perhaps too much of a good thing, along with the large stand-up yolk comes a higher lipid or fat content than chicken eggs. So for the cholesterol-conscious duck eggs aren’t the best choice. And since ducks aren’t as fruitful as chicks with seasonal laying habits (depending on the breed, many lay in the spring until early summer), this translates to a significantly higher cost. The Shell Game Duck egg shells won’t win a beauty contest, as they tend to be mottled, some with beige, pale blue or greenish tinges (also depending on the breed). But duck eggs will win the strong shell contest, thick and sturdy, they require a heftier hand to break. For this reason, they also have a longer shelf life than chick’s eggs, and can be kept up to six weeks in the fridge. Let’s Get Cracking Duck eggs have a rich, distinct flavor and texture, and require a little extra cooking time due to the largesse of the yolk. Ideal for baking, they yield fluffy and moist short cakes, breads and muffins, flakey, buttery pastries, and luxurious mousses, soufflés and crème brulees. Whip up a puffy prima vera frittata, goat cheese and spinach scramble, and seafood salads garnished with hard
Duck Eggs in Cocotte The Marine Room’s Executive Chef Bernard Guillas graciously shares his beloved grandma’s favorite duck egg recipe. Bon appétit! Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup diced pancetta 1 cup chopped leeks, white part only 1/2 cup sliced shallots 1/2 cup finely diced celery root 2 cups sliced local King oyster mushrooms 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves 6 duck eggs 3/4 cup crème fraîche 1 tablespoon minced chives 1/4 cup grated Mimolette cheese (or aged Parmesan) 1 toasted French baguette Method: Add olive oil to large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta, leeks, shallots and celery root. Cook 3 minutes stirring often. Add mushrooms and thyme. Cook 2 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

the bottom of each mini cocotte or ovenproof 8-ounce ramekin. Equally divide the vegetable mixture in to each cocotte. Top with remaining crème fraîche. Carefully crack 1 duck egg in a small bowl without breaking the yolk. Transfer to cocotte atop of vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Step 3: Fill roasting pan with 1-1/2 inches of water. Water should go half way up the side of the mini cocotte. Bring water to simmer. Place each cocotte into pan. Cook 10-15 minutes or until egg whites are opaque. Remove cocottes from roasting pan. Garnish with chopped chives and Mimolette. Serve with baguette. (Serves 6.)

Your Family Matters: Teaching kids stranger awareness without instilling fear BY DR. KEITH KANNER With the recent kidnapping and molestation of an 8-year-old child, parents are once again encouraged to sit down with their kids and discuss “Stranger Danger” which typically leads to children being “afraid” of talking or interacting with “strangers.” Beware of strangers is something that is common for parents Dr. Keith Kanner to teach their children and for important reasons. No parent ever wants their child to get hurt and that is a core parenting task — protection. But, do we take it too far when we generalize that all so-called strangers should be avoided? This type of message fills the child’s mind with fear, a lack of trust, and worry that the general intention of others is “bad” or “sick” rather than “good” and “nice.” Don’t get me wrong, as a parent of three kids, I worry about them 24 hours a day but I try to teach them the truth about society, namely that there are a lot more “good guys” than “bad guys” and be careful not to generalize. Yes, there are some bad apples in the bunch, but the majority of people are nice according to sound research and statistics. Raising kids these days has become more vulnerable than ever to sensationalism. Television is tainted by the worst dramas in life not the good ones. Even the local news is disturbing. New studies are showing that watching TV or spending too much time on the Internet is bad for one’s health, mental and physical. Stranger danger is no different. Despite that chances of a child getting both kidnapped and molested are statistically rare, we tend to teach our children to be prepared for the worst case scenario, not the best ones. Developmentally, this leaves a mind message that the world is an unsafe place rather than a safe one and, in many cases, causes a child to lose a basic sense of trust. After all, safety is determined by how parents explain it to their kids. If parents are afraid, their children are also likely to be. So, how do we get kids to be safe but not scared ? Can we teach them skills to help them determine if a stranger is safe or dangerous? The answer is yes. Here are some basic ways to help a child determine if a stranger is safe or not. 1. Is the stranger either too friendly or too mean? Extremes usually teach us that some sort of balance is off. Obviously, teaching your kids to stay away from a mean person
is a good first step, but what about too nice? Well, too nice too soon is a potential sign of a problem. That would be like petting a dog that you have not first approached with care. So, teach kids that too nice might be a sign of a problem and they should keep some distance, at least until they get to know them better. They should also discuss any new adult with parents before becoming friendly. 2. Never agree to go anywhere with a stranger unless approved by a familiar adult. 3. Never accept random gifts from a stranger unless they are related to a particular event one is attending and it is in the presence of others. 4. Teach your kids to always check things out with you first before interacting beyond a “Hi” with a person they do not know. However, if a nice adult says hello, nice kids should say hello too. This is merely a courtesy issue. Obviously, if the
“stranger” wants something more, this falls into the “too nice too soon” category. Most importantly, however, before having that good guy versus bad guy discussion, assure them that the world does have more good than bad people because this is the truth. Dr. Kanner is a board certified clinical child, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst. He is also the host of Your Family Matters which is a media brand broadcasting on TV, radio, and the Internet. Locally, Dr. Kanner and Your Family Matters is part of San Diego 6’s San Diego Living Show on Friday mornings, while Your Family Matters Radio is broadcasted through UT Radio & UT-TV where Dr. Kanner is also part of the news team as the Mental Health Host. Kanner is also part of FM radio on Tuesdays on the Walrus FM with Nolan and Kim. His book with the same name ( “Your Family Matters — Solutions to Common Family Dilemmas” ) recently won the Mother’s Choice Gold Award for excellence in parenting literature.

The Reality of Marriage Dear Dr. Diana, My girlfriend just broke up with me because I’m not ready to get married. I understand her point of view since we’ve been dating for four years. I really love her and am sad about the break up but I’m scared to make a serious commit-Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom ment. My father has been divorced three times and my mom is unhappy in her second marriage. Even though I am 42, I don’t know what’s realistic to expect in marriage. It seems there are so few happily married people. My life is good and while I’d like to have children and a life partner, I’m afraid to make the wrong decision. Part of me thinks that if I have doubts it must not be right. But maybe I’m just afraid and will be no matter what. How do you know when it’s right? — Scared to make a mistake Dear Scared, I can certainly understand why you want to be cautious. Marriage is a major decision that has a significant impact on the trajectory of one’s life for better or worse. You have already experienced the emotional havoc of unhappy and broken relationships and divorce so in some ways, you understand the “worse” part. The reality is that having doubts is normal for everyone. Most of us are not taught how to have adult love relationships in a way that maintains a deep bond in good times and bad. The “better” part is that a good marriage makes for a sweeter life. Research by social and clinical psychologists reveals that to us what makes for a happy marriage. Studies also reveal that happily married people are stronger and more confident in the world and they have less illness, more longevity and a higher overall quality of life than their counterparts. Key indications that a relationship could be marriage worthy include: •Being good friends. The essential ingredient in happy marriages is emotional responsiveness. If you ask the question, “Are you there for me?”, “Do I matter to you”, the answer is “Yes”. The best marriages are a passionate friendship. If you feel supported, safe, and your partner is there for you when you need them, your relationship holds promise. •You share a willingness to do the work necessary to keep your love and connection alive. There is a set of specific skills, a toolkit if you will, that can be learned to facilitate healthy, loving relationships. The books recommended at the end of this article go into that toolkit in detail. •Enjoying spending time with one another, sharing core values, and encouraging the pursuit of your dreams and interests are central ingredients to help you go the distance. •Good relationships and marriages promote a sense of wellbeing and personal strength in both people. While you can’t expect your partner to “make” you happy, your partner’s friendship should enhance your overall enjoyment of your life. •Being able to communicate about difficult feelings and topics is important as you
share your lives together. •Sharing similar interests is helpful. This doesn’t mean that you must enjoy all the same things, you don’t. But having some crossover is good. •It’s also important to be with someone who is accepting and agreeable to your wants and needs for affection and sex. This is not to say you both have to want the same thing all the time and that you always have to say “Yes”. But generally, you are on the same page about what you like. Some people like lots of physical affection and some people don’t as much. •The right person shows their love through loving actions. Those actions look different for different people. For example, some couples like to stay in touch throughout their day. Other people might feel irritated, burdened, or even smothered by this. Not all people want to be loved in the same way. But some loving actions that promote happy and healthy marriage include: noticing when your partner is tired, listening and offering support, kissing and hugging just because, being patient and respectful with each other, kissing hello and goodbye, and remembering what your partner says is important to them. Small, polite gestures like saying “thank you” and “please” can demonstrate caring and kindness as well. Most people like to have some private time and a little space, so it’s helpful if your partner understands this need. Some obvious red flags are when a person drinks too much, spends beyond their means, is unfaithful, dishonest, or mean. If your doubts stem from what seems like problematic issues to you, don’t dismiss them or assume that love will cure all. It doesn’t. Depending on what these concerns consist of, you’ll need to thoroughly discuss them with your partner until you feel satisfied. Contrary to popular myth there are no perfect soul mates in the sense that the relationships are problem free. That simply does not exist. All good marriages require effort. Don’t lose hope for the possibility of having a happy married life —it is a worthwhile path if you can create it. Marriage is like a garden. It needs to be tended to regularly with different fertilizing and watering needs during different seasons. And various types of plants have different needs. Taking time to really know and understand what makes your partner tick will help you tend to your marriage effectively.
