Inn at Rancho Santa Fe renovation slated for completion this summer BY KAREN BILLING Just three months remain in The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe’s $12 million renovation project. All plans shoot for an early July time frame for completion, according to Rob Stirling, director of sales and marketing With its renovations, Stirling said The Inn aims to be sensitive to its historic roots while creating a heart for the community that is elegant while still approachable and comfortable. One of the most visible areas of work recently took place on the lawn, which had one side fenced off and was under construction for several weeks. That work has now been completed, with new planters lining the sidewalk on one side. “In past years that lawn was a little more slanted,” Stirling said. “We replaced the grass and leveled it off to take more advantage of the area for our outdoor events.” Currently the other side of the lawn is getting the same treatment, the area known as the croquet lawn under The Inn’s signature pepper tree. The Inn is working to ensure that im-

U.S. champion continues winning style as TPHS freshman leader
Taylor Fritz in action in Ojai. PHOTO/GRACE BRUTON
BY GIDEON RUBIN Tennis standout Taylor Fritz, a RSF resident, was still in eighth grade when it became apparent to him that within a year he’d find himself in an unusual role: A freshman leader on Torrey Pines’ perennially dominant tennis team. The early returns suggest that Fritz is handling his leadership role just fine. Last month he led the Falcons to an 18-0 Palomar League championship season, with his team positioned nicely for runs at the San Diego Section and state regional titles later this
month. Along the way, he’s excelled at some of the state’s most prestigious individual tournaments. “I was excited to do it actually,” Fritz said of assuming a leadership role at Torrey Pines. “I was excited being the freshman coming in filling in for the No. 1 spot.” Fritz said it helped knowing several players on the team. “It wasn’t really that big of a deal, honestly,” Fritz said. His body of work couldn’t have hurt. See CHAMPION, page 26

Sarah Cross with Cosmo COURTESY PHOTO
TPHS graduate one of top 25 vying for coveted job in Tourism Australia contest BY ROB LEDONNE 2002 Torrey Pines High School grad Sarah Cross was perusing her iPhone when she came across word of a contest. “Something about it spoke to me,” she says of the contest sponsored by Tourism Australia that promises a $100,000 salary and six-month gig working with animals in the country for a lucky few finalists. “If I won, I’d be in South Australia working on Kangaroo Island, working with a variety of animals and sharing my experiences through blogs and social media,” Cross said. The purpose of the contest is to promote working holidays and Australian culture, as well as bring awareness to the country’s native animals, something Cross has a passion for. Cross was actually born in Australia (but hasn’t been there for over a decade), then moved to Texas while spending her summers in San Diego. While here, she developed a love of horses, caring for her own at a young age. “I had been riding horses since I was 6 years old,” she remembers. “Even though I was so young, I understood and embraced all of the hard work that came with it, and that made me want to do more.” With a love of animals,
she then logged multiple summers as a volunteer at the Helen Woodward Animal Center, the famed animal shelter in Rancho Santa Fe. “It was not glamorous,” she readily admitted. “I would get there early and do things like clean out kennels and exercise the animals, but I loved every minute of it.” Cross began living full time in San Diego during her junior year of high school, and later attended college at San Diego State and then Cal State San Marcos. Soon after school, she landed a job in Las Vegas as a Dolphin Care Specialist at the Mirage Hotel and Casino. When Cross found out about the contest, and the marriage of Australia and animals, she knew she had to submit and spent weeks putting together a submission video of her at her regular job with the dolphins. Said Cross: “I figured it’d be a great way to get attention.” Cross was one of 45,000 people who submitted a video, so she waited and hoped for the best. “Before announcing the finalists, they emailed me saying they liked my video,” Cross said, figuring it was a good sign. “When they posted the top 25 contestants for my position, I started scrolling through all of them and saw my video, which was near the
bottom of the page. The second I saw I made it to the next round, I started crying and laughing at the same time.” Overall, more than 600,000 people applied to Tourism Australia and over 45,000 videos were submitted from 196 countries for six jobs, all vying for the experience of a lifetime. Cross’ next step is to spread the word of her campaign to win, by whatever means necessary — including this article. “In stage two, we have to reach out through the community, friends and family, and compile everything. They want us to get high-profile people, which is lucky for me since I live and work in Las Vegas.” In addition, Cross has enlisted the help of some friends to vouch for her, including a friend who works at the San Diego Zoo as a bird trainer. Cross won’t know until May 15 if she’ll make the last round, but is trying to do everything in her power to make her dreams come true. “I have some family there I’ve never met, plus other family I haven’t seen in years,” she explains. “Having been born there and loving animals, this would be amazing.” To follow Cross and her quest, check her out on Facebook: www.Facebook. com/SarahCrossDownUnder

Local resident leads winning ultra division team in long-distance Ragnar Relay BY KAREN BILLING For the second year in a row, local resident Andy Hemmerich took part in the 192-mile Ragnar Relay from Huntington Beach to San Diego, running through the night, fighting delirium and exhaustion to raise funds for the Monarch School for homeless and at-risk youth. The runners took off from Huntington Beach at 1 p.m. on Friday, April 19, and finished on Saturday, April 20, at 2:19 p.m. While the average number of runners on a team is 12, Hemmerich competed with a team of six, deemed an ultra team, and for the second year in a row they won the ultra division, finishing in 25 hours and 19 minutes. “We didn’t take it easy,” Hemmerich said. Hemmerich’s team represented his tutoring business Hammer Prep in Sorrento Valley and included Del Mar resident Jordan Meltzer, Chuck McKeown, Caela Timinsky, Liz Johnson and Alec Fillmore. Last year Hemmerich’s team was part of 10 teams racing to benefit Monarch School, known as the Qualcomm 200 Miles for Monarch. This year the number of participating teams swelled to 25 and they raised more than $350,000 for the Monarch School. “It was a really, really good year,” Hemmerich said of the effort. At the launch party earlier this year for the fundraiser, San Diego Padres’ Will Ven-
able attended with his student mentor at Monarch, Jackie. She was so emotional and touched that so many strangers were willing to raise money for her school that she recruited and organized her own team of Monarch students to run Ragnar as well. Hemmerich’s wife Katya Meyers, a professional triathlete, offered to help coach the Monarch team and they were able to secure a sponsorship from Asics who outfitted the team with new gear to run in. “They’re good kids, they all have really positive attitudes and they will tell you straight up that they are determined to break the cycle of homelessness,” Hemmerich said. “They say ‘We’ve chosen education and we’re going to break the cycle.’ It’s neat to be a part of that.” Hemmerich graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 1996. He played soccer for Stanford and graduated with a degree in economics before launching a pro-soccer career that included stops in Major League Soccer with the San Jose Earthquakes and abroad with a New Zealand team. He founded his tutoring company Hammer Prep in 2002 after the conclusion of his soccer career. He said education has always been an important cause for him to support, especially the kids at Monarch. “The return on education is infinite, you can’t really define how far education can take you,” Hemmerich
Local resident Andy Hemmerich and his Hammer Prep team raced in the Ragnar Relay and raised money for Monarch School. The team included, from left, Chuck McKeown, Caela Timinsky, Liz Johnson, Alec Fillmore, Andy Hemmerich and Jordan Meltzer. COURTESY PHOTO said. “The reality is you’re taking students at Monarch that face adversity to the highest degree and allowing them the opportunity to be educated and reach a higher level of education. In the 2012 class, all of the students went on to higher education. If you can use education to keep kids out of trouble, to go on to higher levels of education and become productive members of society, it’s huge. And the bottom line is it feels good to help them.” Running Ragnar was not without its drama. Hemmerich’s team had a last minute shake-up as 24 hours before the race, one of their runners broke his foot in a rock climbing accident. The hunt was on to find someone who could leave on Friday morning and be willing to run 35 miles.
They were able to get Liz Johnson. Johnson, who had just run the Boston Marathon the previous Monday. “She agreed to run with us, which was amazing,” Hemmerich said. Everyone on their team did six legs of the 36-leg race. Hemmerich was slated to run 30 miles of the 192-mile race but ended up doing three miles more as he got lost on the course. He left from Anaheim Stadium and was running along the canal. Someone must have moved the sign that told runners to cross the canal and he ended up running on the wrong side of the canal for several miles. When he realized his mistake, he had no idea where he was, had no cell phone and he did not know the phone number for any-
one on the van. Not to mention he was in the middle of a race, wilting in 100-degree heat. He ended up finding a Subway restaurant in a strip mall and walked in shirtless and sweaty asking to use someone’s phone. He was able to connect with his wife to inform his team he was lost. His 4.3-mile leg had become a nearly 7-mile leg and the team had lost about an hour off their time. “It was very frustrating,” Hemmerich said. “We got back in the van and said, ‘Let’s just run harder then.’ Throughout the day and night everyone ran really, really hard and we ended up winning again.” The team had a few cases of getting lost and execution mishaps (“When you haven’t slept all night you’re not making the best decisions,” he notes) but still managed to finish in the top 10 overall. “In terms of how our runners felt, we all felt much fresher this year,” Hemmerich said, noting they ran 7:30-minute miles. “We were running really hard.” Hemmerich’s longest leg was a 6.7-mile run through the Temecula area in the middle of the night. He ran with a headlamp and vest with blinking lights. He said it’s not as scary running in the dark as it may seem because there are so many other teams out on the course (nearly 600 total). The hardest part about running in the dark is trusting your footing, he said.
An additional challenge to the race is that toward the end, the team’s van is “disgusting.” He said the van starts out with everyone’s gear neatly packed and organized but by the later legs it looks like a laundry basket with stuff scattered everywhere and things difficult to find. Even with fatigue setting in and hamstrings screaming, Hemmerich said he found a way to push his limits, especially when remembering the cause he was running for. “You’re able to have a conversation with yourself and say, ‘What I’m facing here, I’m creating this pain.’ What they face, they don’t create. It’s placed on them.” As Hemmerich had been running 40 miles a week in preparation for the race, now that it’s over he has a little more free time. His next big goal is with his men’s soccer team, the San Diego County Soccer League’s Nomads. The team will travel to Seattle in June to play in the Over 30 Regionals, with the goal to win and go on to compete at the nationals in San Antonio in July. Hemmerich also already has his eye on next year’s race — the Qualcomm group’s goal is to have 100 teams racing and raise $1 million for the school. People can still donate to Monarch at http://www.active.com/donate/monarch2013/hammer2013. If interested in getting involved with next year’s race, e-mail andy.hemmerich@gmail.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
‘If your mind is still active, you can live a good and rewarding life’: Recently deceased author wrote about being quadriplegic BY ASHLEY MACKIN Local resident June van Lint’s story is one of living a full life despite any limitations – and survival. Having lived a life full of travel and family, van Lint spent 46 years as a quadriplegic before passing away on March 30. Along her journey, she wrote her story with her one usable finger on an electrical typewriter, calling it “My New Life.” You can read it online at www.van-lint.org Living 46 years in the condition van Lint found herself is almost unheard of, according to her husband Victor. (The Guinness World Record is 54 years). However, June survived several serious health complications and traveled the world. In 1966, the van Lints were on vacation in Oregon with their four adopted children when the family was in a car accident. “June got a whiplash injury in her neck with no significant nerve damage, but doctors had to perform a cervical fusion operation to stabilize the vertebrae,” Victor explained. “After the surgery, she was in a coma for six weeks. When June woke up, could only move her head and had minor use of her left hand and could not speak. “Over the years, she overcame several illnesses that typically end the life of a quadriplegic. People with conditions similar to June’s often die when they get their first lung infection; pools of liquid form (in the lungs) and you get pneumonia and you can’t breathe well … 75 percent of causes of death are pneumonia … June had several cases of lung infections and a number of cases of pneumonia, and she recovered from them all.” In 2001, she discovered she had breast cancer, which she overcame. In 2012, she discovered she had colon cancer, and survived that, too, Victor said with a proud laugh. Spending her time as actively as she could, June traveled around the world to every continent except Antarctica, often by cruise. Writing about her travels and the adventures therein, June’s story further explores the first four years of her life as a quadriplegic. As to how her story ended, Victor said, “You couldn’t have scripted it better.” In November 2012 June developed a case of pneumonia and had to go to the hospital. While there, doctors discovered she had colon cancer, so she had surgery to remove it. After the surgery, she no longer had what was left of her mobility. Thankfully, Victor said right around the time June would have become frustrated, they had planned to take a cruise. The two spent 28 days traveling Hawaii and the South Pacific Ocean. Two weeks after they returned, June suffered a stroke from which she did not recover. “Her life was over. It was time for it to end,” he said. “Maybe I’m supposed to be sad, but I couldn’t have asked for anything better.” Victor said the message of her book is “no matter how physically disabled you are, if your mind is still active, you can live a good and rewarding life.” In making the decision to

put the book online for free, van Lint said it was about those for whom the book is dedicated — their friends and nine grandchildren. Victor also compiled a sequel, which is based on letters written between June and her sisters. Both books can be found at www.van-lint.org

Letter to the Editor/Opinion
Please stop killing sharks I am writing this letter to the editor to encourage people to stop killing sharks. Sharks are very important animals because they balance populations of fish species. I care about this because it helps our ocean function. If we stop shark death then the ocean will be a better place. The people in Rancho Santa Fe can help sharks by keeping the beach clean, protecting our environment, and buying sustainably fished seafood. Tommy Witmeyer R. Roger Rowe School student
Solana Beach parents protest full-day kindergarten
Students at The Cambridge School recently performed extremely well at the ACSI Math Olympics.
The Cambridge School takes top honors at the ACSI Math Olympics The ACSI Math Olympics is an annual competition testing students in two categories: Arithmetic Computation and Mathematical Reasoning. This year, 20 students represented The Cambridge School in this district level competition via mail-in exam on March 22. Of the 20 Cambridge students who participated, 16 placed in the top five of their competition. Cambridge students represented 27 percent of the students who placed in the top five in grades 3 through 7. Of all 12 schools in the mail-in competition, The Cambridge School received the most awards. The Cambridge School is proud of its student mathletes and the fact that its Christian liberal arts model that focuses on teaching students how to think, reason and synthesize both verbally and quantitatively is proving so successful in math (and science) as well as the humanities. To find out more about The Cambridge School, please visit www.cambridgeclassical.org.

Parents attended the Solana Beach School District’s board meeting last week to protest the district’s proposed shift to full-day kindergarten this fall for the Global Education program based at Skyline School in Solana Beach. The program is open to anyone in the district, and includes some students from Rancho Santa Fe and Carmel Valley. “But probably 95 percent are from here in Solana Beach,” said Skyline principal Lisa Denham.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
CCA’s Envision program presents dazzling multi-media show based on Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH “Envision is an artists’ playground,” said Anne Whatoff, vocal director for Canyon Crest Academy (CCA). This creative playground was shared in the recent Canyon Crest Academy show “The Wall,” based on Pink Floyd’s iconic album. The show was staged by a huge cast of Envision students and staff in the school’s Proscenium Theater. It would have been a sell out, except tickets were free. The audience was thrilled by a show that included all six disciplines from the Envision arts program and was the school’s most ambitious production to date. There were about 170 performers in the theater, with over 60 who ran tech for the show, and created art and film, said Whatoff. It brought the appreciative audience to a roaring standing ovation. A multi-media presentation, it was a bold undertaking requiring a lot of preparation and rehearsal. The student production team began meeting early in the fall and was responsible for the visual concepts of the show. “We had five days of tech rehearsal on stage with the performers, but most of the groups began rehearsing at the beginning of the term,” said Whatoff. Dance students helped to choreograph the show and theater students created the actors’ scenes, as well as the lobby experience. Brian Köhn, CCA principal, directed the orchestra and choir — that, for most of the show, were dimly visible behind a wall of gauze — and the rock band, whose members were actually jazz students. Competitive auditions provided outstanding principal vocalists. “Pink/Floyd,”
the lead character who evolved throughout the show, was played respectively by Justin Verity, Jamie Hart, Savannah Lyddy and David Ahmadian. Pink’s mother and father were played by Emily Laliotis and John Paul Welch. The Worm (Judge) was played by Kevin Vonk, and the Schoolmaster was CCA teacher John Unwin. Other teachers were game to get in on the act. Dance director Reyna Stohl performed on stage alongside the students; Amy Villanova, music director, played in the orchestra; Anne Whatoff played piano; Nate Jarrell, visiting teaching musician, played a guitar duet with student Paris Sorci, and guest artist Mike Bogart, formerly of “Tower of Power,” belted out a vocal solo. “The Wall” was chosen because of its themes that happen in many people’s lives, said Köhn. “Feelings of isolation that make us feel closed off, something that teenagers can certainly understand as they struggle through this interesting period of time,” Köhn said. Köhn had taught music for 10 years at Coronado School of the Arts and then served as music director at Torrey Pines High School, before arriving at CCA when it opened in 2004, initially to nurture the Envision program. Troy Lingelbach and Jessica Tierney, both representatives from theater conservatory, helped plan the show and the incorporation of theater into its program. Troy said that it was hard to pick out one aspect of the show that stood out from the rest. “Thematically, the whole story, which is timeless and universal, was told so beautifully,” he remarked.
Vocalists David Ahmadian and Justin Verity warm up.

Mercedes Forster as the octopus Along with principal vocalists were dance and music instrumentalists, artists and videographers. “We didn’t try to do the album, we didn’t try to do the movie,” said Köhn. “We took the themes as the ideas and let the students run with that.” John Paul Welch was the sole freshman who snagged a principal role. Working on the show “was a fantastic opportunity,” he said. And the energy while on stage was electric, he added. Zoe Kennedy and Laura Fouquette, CCA juniors, were in the audience. “Everybody was so passionate, it was such a CCA show!” said Zoe. “ I think it’s wonderful that the show incorporates all aspects of the arts classes,” Laura remarked. “And I think that Emily Laliolta (Mother) was amazing.” David Jaffe, the school’s first principal, was also in the audience. “It was a brilliant production,” he said. “It represents everything that I hoped the school would become, and has gone way beyond it. I’m very proud!” Coming soon is a 24-hour marathon version of Moby Dick on May 24 and 25. Visit http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html for ticket information.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Longtime ‘Dog Whisperer’ more passionate than ever about his work with canines through ‘John’s Natural Dog Training’ BY KAREN BILLING John Rubin estimates that he’s trained about 10,000 dogs in the 22 years that he has been in business with John’s Natural Dog Training. After all those years, San Diego’s “Dog Whispererâ€? still enjoys the work he gets to do. “I love it, I absolutely love it,â€? Rubin said. “I still work six days a week and I can’t get enough. Some trainers will get burned out but I love it‌I’m getting older but I just look forward to every appointment I do, I have fun with the people and it’s a great job.â€? Rubin describes his training style as “middle of the roadâ€?; basic leash and collar training — no shock collars or dominance or training with food clickers. He is passionate about dog behavior and learning everything there is to know about the different breeds because the better you understand the breeds’ drives, natural instincts and characteristics, the easier they are to train. “It’s amazing how quickly dogs respond when you do the right thing and the right thing can be so little,â€? Rubin said. Throughout the years he’s learned everyone is different and has different lifestyles and goals for their dogs and that dog training is just as much about training the owners too. “I’ve always tried to really get to know the person to find out what they really want,â€? Rubin said. Growing up in the Ozarks of Missouri, Rubin was always around animals — his mother bred dogs and his great grandfather was a cattle rancher. Rubin received invaluable experience working on the farm with cattle, pigs and horses. Rubin got his start in animal training with horses and found he could apply a lot of those same techniques to dogs. He came out to California in 1986 and started the dog training business with his wife, Bonnie, in 1991. Along with head trainer Denelle Curry, Bonnie started
John Rubin of John’s Natural Dog Training with his dogs Amber, Stan and Leftie. Kamp Kanine in Encinitas, located right next to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Rubin leases the space from Rancho Coastal and hosts a big fundraiser for the Humane Society every year, Barktoberfest. The Rubins’ daughter Jessica is also now involved, having taken the reins for the day-to-day work which
has allowed John to get back to his roots and do more training. “She’s got a full plate,� John said of Jessica. “She’s really the backbone of the company right now, she’s fantastic and I can’t say enough about her.� Rubin currently owns three dogs who happily spend time during the day at Kamp Kanine: Leftie, a 12-year-old German shepherd; Amber, a 2-and-ahalf-year-old rottweiler; and Stan, a 6-and-a-half monthold black Labrador. Group classes are offered locally at the Torrey Hills Shopping Center Dog Park and All Creatures Hospital in Del Mar, as well as locations in Carlsbad, Escondido and Mission Valley. Group classes are of-
fered in beginner, intermediate and advanced. John’s Natural Dog Training also offers “Canine Good Citizen� classes for animals to become therapy dogs, and rally classes, which are a more informal version of formal obedience training. “Our group classes are packed,� Rubin said. “We’ve been very, very, very successful and people really enjoy the group classes.� John’s Natural Dog Training also offers in-home training, its most popular program as it is comprehensive and can be customized. “Private in-home training is really the core of our business,� said Rubin. As many of the issues dogs have are related to their home environment, it makes sense to train them on their home turf. At home, one-on-one, Rubin tackles house-breaking, barking, stealing food, greeting strangers and getting along with children, just to name a few issues. Another good thing about home training, Rubin said, is that anyone in the family can get involved. Rubin also willingly takes on clients with serious behavior issues, such as aggression or anxiety. “For a lot of trainers it’s intimidating and difficult to deal with an aggressive dog but I love the challenge,� Rubin said. After working with horses, he isn’t intimidated by a 100-pound dog that is dog or people aggressive. “When most trainers would say ‘Pass,’ I don’t pass,� Rubin said. As he’s had success with more challenging clients, local veterinarians know to give him the nod. Clients who take part in the silver, gold or platinum home training programs gain unlimited admission to group training sessions, getting the benefit of training a dog for life. As Rubin said, “You never really stop training a dog.� To learn more, visit JohnKnowsDogs.com; 877-4478597.

Rancho Santa Fe Review
Inaugural ‘Diane Welch Celebrity Walking Tour’ held in Rancho Santa Fe Earth Day proved to be the perfect spring day for a group of enthusiastic walkers who strode out in a heart healthy tour of the historic village of Rancho Santa Fe. April 21 marked the date, the village provided the backdrop, and The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe served as host for the inaugural “Diane Welch Celebrity Walking Tour.” The invitational-only group included County Supervisor Dave Roberts; Diana Cavagnaro, celebrity milliner; Leslie Hoffman, portrait photographer; Carla DiMare, president of the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center Board of Directors; Rita Orland, founder of Architours; Kim O’Donnell of San Diego Home/Garden; travel writer Elaine Masters, and more. In the 1920s and ‘30s, as the Ranch was being developed into an exclusive enclave of “Gentleman Ranchos,” it attracted movie stars and directors — superstar celebrities in their day — who sought refuge from the bustle of Hollywood. The tour’s first stopping point was Wisteria Cottage, now one of The Inn’s many guest cottages, where Lilian Rice called home. As the Ranch’s resident architect, Rice catered to a celebrity clientele. (Welch is Lilian Rice’s official biographer.) Movie mogul Joseph Schenck and his wife, actress Norma Tal-

madge, lived in a Rice-built house in the 1920s, as did silent movie star Pauline Neff, and her husband, aviator Frank Coffyn. Other celebrities who called the Ranch home were opera star Madame Amelita Galli Curci; King Wallis Vidor, movie producer; John Stuart Robertson, a movie producer who retired and started the Rancho Santa Fe Riding Club; Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Mary Pickford, who purchased hundreds of acres of the former Lusardi Ranch to create their own Rancho Zorro, now Fairbanks Ranch. More recent stars who lived in Rancho Santa Fe include Victor
Mature, George Lewis and Robert Wagner. In the 1930s, Errol Flynn made a movie here, and perhaps the most remembered celebrity to call Rancho Santa Fe home was Bing Crosby. As the tour group stopped by the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center, where president Carla DiMare shared information about the center’s vital role for local seniors, it headed back through the village passing Gayle Gilles Travel agency and McNally’s Antiques showroom. Formerly the garage block, it was here that Louise Badger ran the service station along with the Fountain Lunch eatery. Her son, Eddo Spurr, was interviewed by Welch before he passed away. He had a vivid recollection of being disturbed late one night in his bedroom, located next to the kitchen of the Fountain Lunch. “He heard someone stumbling and rummaging around the refrigerator,” retold Welch. “Eddo was too frightened to investigate, but the intruder was soon discovered the next morning by his note, ‘put the beer on my account’ signed, Bing Crosby.” Other stops included Rice’s former offices and apartments on the corner of La Granada and Paseo Delicias; the historic row houses; the Joers/Ketchum building; the former school — now home to The Pantry; the Administration

The tour group learned a lot of history and local lore during the entertaining tour. “We both had a great time and think the tour is a real hit!” said County Supervisor Dave Roberts who attended with his son, Alex. “Diane Welch Celebrity Walking Tour” will be offered by demand on Sunday afternoons and are organized in partnership with The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. The cost is $40 per person, with a discount for groups of 10 or more.

Members of the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild, Pat Beck, Suzy Schaefer and Ron Spelman recently volunteered their time to conduct workshops for local artists. The full-donated tuition allows the Guild to support and encourage visual artists in the community and county. Each instructor brought their individual expertise of painting and teaching to the students. Pat Beck is a founding member and past board member of the RSF Art Guild. She is a nationally published artist who has been painting for over 35 years. Beck’s workshop concentrated on the execution of a still life oil painting. According to Beck, “A good foundation is the relationship between color and set up.” Beck taught how to arrange flowers, artifacts, vases and rich fabrics to create designed balance on the canvas. Beck said “Color catches the eye to lead the viewer into the painting.” Suzy Schaefer is a founding member and past president of the RSF Art Guild. She has been painting for 40 years. Her paint workshop at her studio focused on teaching how to select a photograph with good composition and transform it to canvas. The image required the balance of light and dark to set up a strong painting. She encouraged her students to enjoy the process of painting and said, “I felt the class was enjoyed by all who attended, but I had the most fun because they were such a lovely group of artists.” Ron Spelman, a RSF Art Guild past president, paints portraits and figurative art. Spelman’s paintings capture the personality and the unique features of the figure. He taught painting of the human form through the relationship of eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Spelman commented “Many of us have not taken the time to study this ‘relationship’ and without it we always fail to get a likeness or the study of a mood.” He begins the process of painting with quick sketches and encouraged his students to create

CHAMPION continued from page 1 Last summer, Fritz won the U.S.T.A. Boys 14-and-under national championship. Fritz, who recently turned 15, is currently ranked No. 5 among 16-andunders. “It is unusual,” Torrey Pines coach Chris Numbers said of Fritz’s role. “It’s a unique situation but he’s an excellent high school player and he’s a national champion.” Fritz leads a team loaded with young talent. He’s among four players Numbers said are college prospects. Sophomores Max Liu and Charles Pei, and junior Henry Ji are the others.
SLOSAR continued from page 2 have a lot of competition from other communities that lure in home buyers with their family-friendly assets. I hope to help represent and accentuate the benefits we have and help our community grow with the addition of young vibrant families. 3.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the RSF Association board? Slosar: I have had the
spa and relaxation courtyard. The concept of the spa is a country feel with sophisticated comfort, an environment to “escape modern day frenzy and slip into a Rancho Santa Fe state of mind.” The Inn even asked for feedback on names for the new spa on its Facebook page, prompting suggestions such as Unwind and Sanctuary. “As we design our brand pillars we’re seeking input from the community on what they’re expecta-
tions might be and combine them with the internal work we’re doing right now,” Stirling said. Another big project will be the build-out of the restaurant, which will take over the garden room, its original location. “It will become a more contiguous space with the outdoor terrace,” Stirling said. “The old restaurant area will become a private dining area.” The library will remain in its current configuration as it has been so “well-liked
and well-received” over the years. The fireplace and flooring will receive a refreshing. “Our focus from the restaurant standpoint is to continue to be at the heart of the community, offering comfortable sophistication, rustic elegance and to be very much approachable,” Stirling said, noting they want the restaurant to be a place the local community and families visit on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, in addition to a venue for special events.
Stirling said it’s very important that The Inn continue to be approachable in many ways and they will be looking to enhance their community offerings, such as wine education classes, cooking classes, mixology events, and yoga and healthy eating classes with the spa. “We want to offer a very energetic program of events for all areas of the hotel,” Stirling said. For more information, visit http://www.theinnatrsf. com/
On April 27, Fritz reached the finals of the prestigious Ojai tournament, becoming just the second freshman in tournament history to do so. Liu and Pei, the Falcons’ No. 2 and 3 singles players, reached the final 16 representing Torrey Pines as a doubles team amid an elite field of 64 teams. “He’s soft-spoken, but he leads by example and they all respect him and his results and his tennis game,” Numbers said. “He takes the leadership on just by his daily routine, with his results and winning his matches.” Fritz, whose parents are both former Grand Slam tennis players, has been playing since he was practically a toddler. When Fritz was 10, he
was already beating more polished older players. That’s when it was apparent that he was a special player, said his father, Guy Fritz, who’s a Torrey Pines assistant coach. Taylor’s mother, Kathy May, was ranked as high as No. 8 in the world during her career. “All the other kids got nervous in big matches but he didn’t get nervous,” Guy Fritz said. “He would beat guys that he really shouldn’t have beaten.” Taylor Fritz has set himself apart in the amateur circuit with a powerful serve and big forehand shots to go along with exceptional tennis aptitude. “He has a lot of weapons at a young age that a lot of (high school-level) players
don’t have,” Numbers said. Whereas most of his elite high school-level peers are solid and steady players who pounce on their opponents weaknesses, Fritz has the ability to force the issue with an aggressive playing style and powerful shots to back it up. “He has weapons where he can just beat you off the court,” Numbers said. “At the high school level he’s very scary right now. He can really hurt people.” The Falcons will look to the 6-foot-3 Fritz to inflict some damage in the coming weeks. They play in the San Diego Section Division I tournament May 7-10, and hope to advance to the May 14-18 state regional tournament.
Fritz, Liu, Pei and Ji hope to compete for the section individual championship in a May 20-24 tournament. Fritz acknowledged notable differences competing on the high school team compared to the U.S.T.A. circuit. The most obvious difference is that he’s playing just one set against an opponent, which he said presents some challenges. “It’s easy to lose your focus and get down and get in trouble, and then just like that you could lose a match,” he said. More importantly, the high school level emphasizes a team aspect that’s not part of the U.S.T.A. experience. “I like being under that
pleasure of working with our past Association board members to establish a playground at the Ball Fields and have worked with the Tennis Club to better our Youth Tennis Program. I am flexible and have significant business experience as a negotiator in formulating winwin approaches for issue resolution. I am open to feedback and ideas from our community and will serve our members, both old and young, in an attempt to further better the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe.

and Golf Club. In addition to these there are some issues that have surfaced more recently such as: the branding of our community, collaboration between the RSF Association and the RSF Golf Club, and preservation of our community’s key assets. 3. How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the RSF Association board? I believe that with my background and experience in business and the real estate industry, as well as my understanding of the needs of our community that I have learned through my various community activities and golf club membership, I can make a positive and immediate contribution to the RSF Association board and the community as a whole.

pressure,” he said. “I like coming through and winning for the team. “That’s more of a reward.” Fritz acknowledged that there are pros and cons that come with having two professional tennis parents. “There are a lot of benefits,” he said. “They know what they’re talking about. They know where I want to be later on, but the drawback I guess is that they’re my parents so it’s kind of hard to listen to them sometimes.” On balance though, he believes it’s been a great benefit. “They have all this good information that can help me with my game, so it’s definitely more of a help than it is a drawback.” publicly traded media business gave me the experience to help solve problems and resolve issues amicably by getting all the facts, back stories, and knowledge before making any decisions or proposed resolutions.

Raw and ready: New super-food vitality bar opens in Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON pen just four months at the Albertsons shopping center on Via de la Valle, Del Mar’s super-food vitality bar is already drawing customers seeking a superhealthy lifestyle. In fact, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., it’s not unusual to see lines going out the door at bBar, according to owner Lisa Odenweller. People of all ages come for fare that promises long-term health benefits from a menu concocted by Odenweller and a team of renowned raw food and holistic chefs: Simone Powers, Adina Niemerow, Matthew Kenney, Meredith Baird and Susan Sbicca. The freshness provides further appeal, as items are made on site — from almond milk and orange juice to dressing and flax crackers. “We love playing with super-food,” Odenweller said. “Everything is created for a purpose.” For example, there’s the Rockstar, a madeto-order smoothie that derives its bluishgreen color from E3Live Blue Majik, an algae product that aids in muscle recovery and alleviates inflammation, among other possible benefits. It’s blended with sprouted almond milk, coconut water, banana, Beaming Protein, coconut butter, date and vanilla. And then there’s the Sexy Mayan, a spicy chocolate concoction that contains maca to boost energy and libido. There are even “Beaming Kids Tastebud Approved” items for the younger set, such as the Beaming Basic in vanilla or chocolate. “As a parent, I feel really good about it,” Odenweller said. Her own children formulated one of the beverages: Mom I Ate My Veggies! that also has fruit and is filled with antioxidants, fiber, protein and vitamins.
Along with smoothies, bBar makes hydraulic cold-pressed juices that retain more vitamins and nutrients than produce squeezed in the standard juicer, and they last up to five days. A couple of them (including the Skinny Cooler with pineapple, cucumber, mint and jalapeño) can double as cocktail mixers. There are power tonics, such as the coldand-flu-fighting Immunity Booster. Especially popular during the winter, it’s a potent mix of orange juice, oregano oil, ginger, cayenne, astragalus and elderberry. Customers unsure of what smoothies or juices to order may request samples at the counter. While waiting for their selections, they may sit at a patio table; curl up on the couch underneath a TV that will eventually play videos touting the benefits of superfoods; or perch on a stool at the bar. There are more than just beverages at
bBar. If you need a snack, there’s the Beaming Protein Bite. It’s very much like a healthful cookie, but people eat them like candy. The Bite is a compact combination of coconut flour, almond butter, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, Beaming Protein, lucuma, goji berries and coconut sugar. For something a bit more substantial, bBar has a variety of raw foods, salads, bottled soups and quinoa that change daily. Among them are the Coconut Ceviche, a festively colored dish with coconut meat, finely diced cucumbers, grape tomatoes, red bell peppers, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro and Himalayan salt, all marinating in lime juice; and the cool and refreshing organic Thai Salad with almond Thai dressing. For those who want takeout, there are
bento boxes complete with vegetables, Beaming flax chips, quinoa and Chipotle Bitchin’ Dipping Sauce. For people who desire more than just a single healthy meal, bBar offers raw, organic, plant-based cleanses. “They’re designed to work for you,” Odenweller said, whether it’s to aid in weight loss, boost mental clarity, improve skin, discover possible food allergies, or to just feel better in general. BBar creates the base and it’s up to the consumer to adapt it to his or her needs. There are one-, three- and four-day cleanse options, and customers can collect the fresh items daily at the super-food vitality bar. The products can also be picked up at La Jolla Sports Club and at Yoga Six in Carlsbad, Point Loma and eventually 4S Ranch.
bBar’s counter is the spot for socializing and sipping a custom-made smoothie.

Unconventional career path the right road for Bridges’ Food & Beverage director BY KELLEY CARLSON Sommelier Mark Valin has just crossed over into his newest role at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. The 29-year-old Encinitas resident was recently named Food & Beverage director of the private community. His new position entails responsibilities such as coordinating all Food & Beverage outlets on the property, working with the executive chef to create new menu concepts and wine pairings, partnering with the Catering & Events manager to increase revenues and diversity amenities, and overseeing Food & Beverage revenues of more than $2 million. The San Diego native, who graduated from Temecula High School in 2002, chose an unconventional path to his career — one that was serendipitous. After striking out on his own at age 18 and starting school at Palomar College to study history, Valin answered an ad in a newspaper for a busboy position at The Bridges. In September 2002, he was hired, and began performing duties such as preparing the dining room for lunch and dinner service, coordinating with the wait staff to ensure top-level service, and ac-
commodating requests from community members. It wasn’t long before Valin began to really take notice of his surroundings. “There are so many successful people here,” he said. “Being around them rubs off on you.” Valin also started to come to the realization that he would likely need a Ph.D. to successfully establish a career in the history field. So he dropped out of Palomar and began to focus his concentration on learning more about The Bridges environment and getting established. After a couple of years, Valin’s efforts began to pay off, as he was promoted to bartender in the Men’s Lounge. His job included operating and stocking the full bar; cleaning and maintaining the appearance of the lounge; and the training of new staff members. A year later, Valin moved into the fine dining room and became wait captain, hosting VIP tables and executing tasting menus and pairings. He also began to develop relationships with the community’s members. During this time, Valin also received in-house training in wine list develop-
Mark Valin is the new Food & Beverage director at The Bridges of Rancho Santa Fe. COURTESY PHOTO ment, inventory management, wine buying and general wine knowledge, and it was only a matter of months before he was promoted to Food & Beverage manager/ sommelier — a feat he notably accomplished without a formal education. It was a bit intimidating at first “being in front of some pretty savvy wine connoisseurs, because if you
slip, they’ll call you out,” Valin said. “But it made me that much better. I had to do it, or the opportunity would slip through my fingers. “It was sink or swim,” he added. As sommelier, Valin acquired quite a few responsibilities. One was creating a wine list of more than 300 labels from around the world for The Bridges, and managing a 3,000-bottle inventory that was valued at $100,000. Among his other job requirements: selecting wine pairings for prix fixe menus in the Tasting Room; hosting wine dinners; organizing weekly wine tastings and trips to Napa and Sonoma; teaching a monthly wine class; executing frontof-the-house service in the Grill and Fine Dining Room; and overseeing staff during large-scale events such as promotional golf tournaments, concerts, holiday parties and weddings. For the first couple of years, Valin — a self-described “book nerd”— said he was “literally and religiously” reading wine books several times a day. And he also began taking courses, earning certifications and diplomas through the International Sommelier Guild and
the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. As The Bridges’ new Food & Beverage director, Valin continues to foster relationships that have been established with members over the years, so he knows their interests. “It’s creating a place that is exclusive and caters specifically to the wants and needs of a group of special people,” Valin said. To achieve this, Valin still executes some of his Food & Beverage manager/ sommelier duties, including stocking personal cellars; collaborating with the catering manager to come up with new concepts for events and customizing them as needed; and organizing prix fixe dinners in sites such as the organic garden. Valin said he aims to keep things fresh, but to also have fun with it. He and Chef Chris Buffin travel up and down the coast to gather ideas for their program, and find ways to implement them that “make sense.” “We have a blank canvas, and our imagination keeps people coming in for more and more,” he said. And to further enhance the food and wine experience for The Bridges mem-
bers, Valin hires staff members who are ambitious, flexible, hard-working and willing to develop their skills, and trains them to ensure that they know the culture. “I instill the same philosophy that I had going through (the system),” Valin said. “Mark has evolved and grown tremendously since he began with us in 2002, and we’re thrilled to see him take this next step to Food & Beverage director,” said Sean McCune, general manager of The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. “This longevity has given him a deep connection with our members and a true understanding of their individual perspectives and expectations.” When he’s not at work, Valin enjoys mountain biking and the outdoors – “I get the excess energy out of my system” – and reading. And he has this advice to offer: “Sometimes life blows you in a new direction – be cognizant to recognize the opportunity,” Valin said.

Olympic soccer star/ TPHS grad Rachel Buehler now plays in newly-formed National Women’s Soccer League BY GIDEON RUBIN Rachel Buehler was still in grade school when she developed a passion for soccer scampering the Del Mar Polo Fields. That passion helped propel her to high school stardom at Torrey Pines High, a Stanford scholarship, two Olympic gold medals, and stints in two professional leagues. These days, she’s bringing her passion for soccer to playing and growing it at the same time. Buehler, who played for Torrey Pines teams that won San Diego Section championships in 2000 and 2003 and won gold medals with Team USA at the Beijing and London Olympics in 2008 and 2012, now plays for the Portland Thorns in the newly-formed National Women’s Soccer League. Buehler is a starting defender for the Thorns, but she considers her role as an ambassador — one that she shares with players throughout the new league — to be just as important. “It’s such a huge part of it,” Buehler said, noting that players throughout the league have launched an aggressive grassroots efforts to promote the league, including holding clinics and other outreach programs. “We’re really trying to make a strong effort to promote the league to be sustainable,” she said. “I think we’ve really taken that on ourselves as a big responsibility. We think it’s really important for soccer in our country, for girls in our country and for women in general it’s a pretty cool thing.” The NWSL, which kicked off its inaugural season last month, fields eight teams. It hopes to expand to 10 by next year. “It’s so important for the growth of women’s soccer in our country,” Buehler said. “A lot of girls have actually been leaving the United States to play for professional teams in other countries. I think for the growth of soccer in our country it’s important to keep the very best players here.” The NWSL is the third professional women’s soccer league to launch in the United States. Buehler played for two years for Santa Clara-based FC Gold Pride in Women’s Professional Soccer, a league that folded within three years of its 2009 inaugural. The Women’s United Soccer Association, which fielded a San Diego team (the San Diego Spirit), folded within three

She believes it incentivizes the game at all levels, from youth club teams all the way up to the elite collegiate level, something to play for. “There’s just so many benefits to it,” Buehler said, noting that in the absence of a professional league, top-level players are limited to competing for just a few open spots each year on the national team. “Such a small percentage of girls actually get to do that, but having a league, some girls that maybe aren’t on the national team, or are (on the national team), they can continue to play after college and that’s pretty exciting,” she said. A viable professional women’s soccer league can also play an important societal role, Buehler said. “Role models aren’t as accessible to a lot of the young

girl athletes as they are to the boy athletes who have male sports figures they can look up to,” she said. And the NWSL is a gold mine in that department, she said. “We have a great bunch of female role models” in the NWSL, Buehler said. “The character and the quality of people that are in this league, there are just so many great women for girls to look up to. “A lot of our fans at our games are young female soccer players and they kind of look up to us as role models and we can kind of provide that.” Buehler, whose career highlights include standing atop Olympic podiums, still counts her youth-level experiences among her most memorable. She’s remained in contact with former teammates at Torrey Pines and on the Del Mar Sharks and San Diego Surf club teams. She considers her experience at Torrey Pines crucial in her development as a person and as an athlete. “I just had an incredible experience at Torrey Pines academically and athletically,” she said, noting the school’s outstanding academics and athletics programs. “It’s just an incredible institution.” She credits coaching legend Dennis Costello, who retired in 2011, with creating an environment that pushed players to their limits without pushing them out the door. “Dennis made things fun,” she said. “He was a really positive coach, and he definitely taught me a lot about taking responsibility that empowered me to succeed.” Costello’s program also taught her to be a better teammate. “The program helped me understand what it means to represent your school or something bigger than yourself,” she said. Buehler continues to do that in her ambassadorship role. “It’s very exciting to be part of this pioneering group of women starting up this league,” she said. “Hopefully over time the league will expand. It would be great if there were a California team or a San Diego team; that would be amazing to play for my hometown. “We’ll have to take it one step at a time, but the most important thing at this point is just getting it out there and making (the NWSL) sustainable.”

Keepsake Companions brings personal touch to its non-medical, in-home care for seniors BY DIANE Y. WELCH Porsha Vogt loves to help others. It’s in her nature. To channel this love she recently founded Keepsake Companions, a non-medical, in-home care agency, located in Carlsbad, that services the San Diego County area. Although only six months old, her company is part of a well-established franchise that has been around for seven years. Vogt’s caregivers — required to be Certified Nursing Assistants – are carefully vetted and selected by Janie Hunt, office manager and a former caregiver. They go through an indepth interview process. Criminal and DMV background checks are run on each applicant who is also required to complete a test to determine how knowledgeable they are, Vogt said. The agency is a member of the California Association for Health Services at Home [CAHSAH]. “It makes sure that we have all the necessary employee requirements, like bonds, insurances and workers’ compensation. It sets us apart from our competitors as in California as this is not a mandated requirement,� Vogt explained. Keepsake Companions’ mission is to improve the lives of seniors and their families by providing exemplary care in the home. Help comes in the form of meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, transportation and grocery shopping. It also provides bathing assistance, incontinence care and social companionship. Each caregiver clocks in on arrival and clocks out by calling headquarters on a landline. Client binders, which contain comprehensive details of the care, remain in the client’s home. “Not only does it keep us in the loop but it keeps the adult children or other family members updated and involved in the care,� said Vogt, who personally interacts with all her clients and meets all of them. “I’ve always enjoyed working with seniors, ever since I was little,� she said. Vogt, who grew up in Rancho Santa Fe, received a fi-
“the best of both worlds,� Vogt said. Clients are treated like extended family, and Vogt goes “above and beyond� in her passion for her business. “One of our clients loves boats, so I took him down to the Yacht Club and we had dinner together. It was great way to bond with him and get to know him,� she said. Another client was a former pilot for the navy. “He thought it would be fun for us to go to the commissary on Camp Pendleton’s base together. So we made a day of it. I helped him grocery shop and then we grabbed lunch together afterward,� said Vogt. This passion for helping seniors came from Vogt’s own experience with her aunt

nance degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She initially worked in the finance field, but wasn’t passionate about it. About two years ago, seeking a change of career, she researched the options for combining her love of seniors with giving back to the community, and Keepsake Companions provided
Alice, who had advanced MS (multiple sclerosis) and desperately needed a caregiver. “But we didn’t know then that this type of caregiver service existed and consequently she passed away in her home 20 years ago,� Vogt recalled. This sad memory reminds Vogt to offer the very best services to seniors. “We really do provide our clients with the best quality care possible and go first class in everything.� To find out about hourly or day rates and availability, call Porsha Vogt at (760) 622-3422 and visit www.keepsakecompanionscov.com to learn more about services offered.
Petco Foundation to honor Lily Tomlin at 2013 gala The Petco Foundation will host its fifth annual Hope Gala, 5 p.m., May 18 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel.

The Top 10 Health Concerns of Women BY DR. ELIZABETH KABACK, SCRIPPS HEALTH What health issues are most important for women? While many women worry about breast cancer, heart disease presents a greater danger. Moreover, adequate stress management, a healthy heart and cardiovascular system plays a role in well health in many other conditions. In celebration of National Women’s Health Week, we’re taking a look at the top 10 health issues that affect women. 1. Heart Disease Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women over age 25, yet only 13 percent of women consider heart disease to be a threat to their health. Be proactive in caring for your heart health: quit smoking, control blood pressure, lose excess weight, eat a hearthealthy diet and get plenty of exercise. Women like men can have classic symptoms of chest discomfort with radiation to the arm, back and shoulder with associated shortness of breath or more often unlike men, atypical symptoms that include persistent indigestion, unusual fatigue, nausea or pain between the shoulder blades. Make a point of discussing heart disease with your physician and report any concerns, even if they seem minor. 2. Stroke Like heart disease, stroke is often believed to be more of a problem for men. However, more women die from stroke each year than men. The risk of stroke steadily increases after age 45. Family history of stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, and atrial fibrillation can also increase risk of stroke. 3. Cancer The three most common concerns in women include breast , lung and colorectal cancers. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women, followed by breast, colorectal and gynecological cancer. The most important preventive measure for any cancer is to quit smoking, eat a diet low in fat and high in vegetables and fruit and get plenty of exercise. Regular screening exams such as mammograms, colonoscopies and Pap smears, can help identify some cancers in their early stages when they are most likely to be successfully treated. 4. Diabetes More than 12 million U.S. women age 20 or older have diabetes. This increases the risk of serious health problems such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, vision loss, kidney disease, nerve damage, and amputation. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke. Maintaining normal weight is critical in preventing and reversing diabetes. Simple changes in diet and lifestyle along with medical treatment, can reverse the health risks associated with diabetes and can be managed. 5. Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. It affects more women than men, representing nearly two-thirds of Americans with the disease. According to Alzheimer’s Association, growing evidence suggests a close link between brain health and overall health of the heart , blood vessels and inflammation. Since the brain receives nutrients and oxygen from blood, a healthy cardiovascular system helps to ensure that plenty of nutrient-rich blood reaches the brain. 6. Depression According to The National Institute of Mental Health, depression affects about 12 million women each year — twice as many as men. While everyone has “down” days once in a while, persistent feelings of sadness, guilt, hopelessness or loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy can all be signs of depression. Treatment can range from lifestyle changes such as mindfulness to “talk therapy” to medications or a combination of them all for an integrative approach; talk to your physician if your mood doesn’t improve. 7. Infertility Infertility refers to the inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to term. More than 10 percent of women age 15-44 have infertility problems. Because there are a number of factors that can interfere with fertility, the first step is a medical evaluation to determine possible causes. With treatment, more than two-thirds of women have successful pregnancies. Believe it or not some of the same issues that lead to diabetes, heart and cardiovascular disease and depression lead to problems with fertility. 8. Menopause As your menstrual periods come to an end, you may also experience other changes such as drier skin, hot flashes, mood swings and hair loss. The drop in estrogen may raise your risk for heart disease, Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis as well. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms and whether you should consider natural or medical hormone replacement therapy. 9. Osteoporosis After age 50, as many as half of all women will break a bone due to osteoporosis. However, osteoporosis is not inevitable. Tobacco and alcohol use earlier in life can increase risk, as can being underweight and lack of weight bearing activities. Women should strive to maintain a healthy weight through weight-bearing exercise and a well-balanced diet that includes adequate amounts of calcium as well as vitamin D. 10. Autoimmune Diseases Autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis result from the body’s immune system attacking its own healthy tissues. About 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women. The causes of these diseases are unknown, but many can be managed through proper diagnosis and treatment. Learn more about women’s heart health and other women’s health concerns at Scripps’ Women’s Expo 2013: Matters of the Heart from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 18, 2013 at the Schaetzel Center on the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus.

Local soccer coach holds circuit training classes for adults Poseidon feels like home to popular Three mornings a week, local youth soccer coach Paul Currie keeps adults on their toes and working hard. He also has them dancing through rope ladders, performing side planks, lifting hand weights, and exercising parts of the body that many adults haven’t for ages. All of this is part of the “circuit training” exercises Currie leads outdoors at the La Colonia Park in Solana Beach every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, with sessions starting at 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. “Circuit training” is the description given to the process of performing different aerobic exercises in rotation around a circuit of small courses of rope ladders, cone layouts, jumps, slalom poles, hill climbs, and other activities. Curriel lays out eight different exercise courses in roughly a circle and times the activity in each course to run for exactly one minute. After completing one course, each participant moves on to the next course in the circuit. Participants run the courses at their own speed, and with modifications to fit their needs. In between the aerobic circuits, after a short breathing and water break, the participants typically go through five or six one-minute core strengthening exercises such as stomach crunches, side planks, bicep curls, squats, and lunges. All of this is preceded by a warm-up jog and stretches, and followed at the end by warm-down stretches. The end result is a thorough

An avid soccer player and successful youth soccer coach, Currie’s real job is as a professional coach for three or more San Diego Surf soccer teams during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. He conducts the circuit training classes in the morning to help adults become more fit, add a little to his coaching income, and do extra workouts along with his participants so he can continue to compete strongly in his men’s soccer club. (His men’s club recently won the National Over-30 Soccer Championship in Kentucky.) Currie grew up playing soccer in England about 30 miles north of Manchester. Since then, he has played and coached professional soccer in both England and Australia. After coming to the U.S., he coached for several youth clubs in the San Diego area before settling in with the San Diego Surf Soccer Club. His teams have won one National Championship, several State and Regional Championships, and many southern California tournaments. Throughout each circuit training session, Currie provides knowledgeable guidance and gentle encouragement. One of his sayings with regard to youth soccer coaching is “If you coach in the right way and try to develop players, then the wins will come.” For his circuit training adults, he works to help them win at becoming more fit and healthy, with much encouragement and many words of “Well done!” For additional information about circuit training at La Colonia Park, Currie can be reached at 858-342-7857 and pcurriefootball@gmail.com.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH When it comes to fine cuisine in San Diego there’s a lot of competition and the demand is often high to produce constant updates to menu choices. But sometimes even discerning customers just want things to stay the same. Chef Jamal knows this well. As Executive Chef for Del Mar’s Poseidon Restau- Poseidon rant his favored dishes have Executive Chef many of his clientele advis- Jamal ing him, “Don’t change the recipe, keep it the same. It’s perfect!” he said. These popular signature dishes include cioppino, an Italian seafood stew that’s made with a variety of seasonal seafood prepared in a tomato, lobster broth; pan-seared sea bass; and Loch Duart organic salmon imported from Scotland. “It’s top quality, very sweet, and we prepare it coated with pistachios, and served with garlic mashed potatoes and citrus-pomegranate beurre blanc sauce,” explained Jamal. The fine Mediterranean cuisine attracts tourists and locals. Both are also drawn to savor the sunsets on Poseidon’s patio which opens up during the summer months. “It’s a critical point for us because we have to be sure that everyone gets seated in time,” said Chef Jamal. “There is often a line of people waiting but we try to accommodate everyone.” Another aspect that has not changed about the long-time restaurant located on Del Mar’s beachfront is its ownership. Tom Ranglas Sr. was living in El Cajon in 1968 and was looking for a coffee shop to purchase and run when a real estate agent told him that “The Fire Pit” — as it was named then — was for sale. With $48,500 borrowed from his mother, Ranglas was able to purchase the Del Mar restaurant business but not the property. The following year Ranglas took the opportunity to purchase the properties of both the restaurant and the adjacent Del Mar Motel, which were being sold as package deal, for the princely sum of $300,000. Ranglas joked that as a Greek immigrant he couldn’t even write that number,

let alone fathom how he was going to pay for it. But discovering that the price was actually low, compared to other beachfront property, Ranglas took the financial risk. And the rest is history. Today his son, Tom Ranglas Jr., and daughter, Nikki, run the business but Ranglas Sr. still supervises everything and goes to the restaurant every day, said Jamal who has been executive chef since 2009. Jamal was attracted to Poseidon because of the reputation of the Ranglas family. “They are very generous, nice people,” said the Moroccan native who has his own interesting history. “Cooking has been in my blood ever since I was little,” said Jamal who was born in 1981 in the small town of Oujda. Growing up in a family that loved to cook Jamal was working in local restaurants by age 16. After two years of studying French literature Jamal quit and enrolled in culinary school to study French Classic Cuisine instead. When he graduated Jamal had the highest score in the entire country for his combined classes. Jamal mastered the art of classic French and Mediterranean cuisine techniques when he studied in Southern France with the country’s top chefs, and after receiving his degree was admitted into the prestigious High Institute of Culinary Arts in Casablanca. He graduated in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in Food and Tourism Management. Through the International Chef’s program Jamal was hired by Disney World, which brought him to the USA. He then helped his friend, Chef Jake Brenchley, re-open the Scholars Inn Gourmet Café in Indianapolis, Ind., which was voted “Best New Restaurant” in town in 2008. Tired of the cold weather Jamal took a leap of faith and relocated to San Diego. He soon found his footing serving as Executive Chef at Del Mar’s Sunset Bar and Grill, after working under Justin Hoen at the Epazote Restaurant just prior to being hired at Poseidon Restaurant four years ago. It was a move that he will never regret. “Here it feels more like home,” he said.

The students decided to split the net donations with a worthy cause as a way of giving back to the community. They chose the Warrior Foundation because they believe it is important to honor the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military service members who fought abroad so that America remains safe and free. They especially like the fact that every penny that goes to the Warrior Foundation helps those stationed right here in San Diego. The event was such a huge success, the students were able to present a check in the amount of $1,635.90 to the Warrior Foundation. The donations actually came from all over the county and the response was so favorable, they are hoping to make this a yearly event. Maggie Brady, co-chairman of Ways and Means, came up with the idea for the event and played a key role in promoting it. Visit http://www.saintjamesacademy.com/

CROSSWORD
The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families
Divorce rate slowly and steadily declining Recently this column addressed a young man’s concern about the viability of marriage given the high divorce rate (particularly in his own family). He wrote that his girlfriend had broken up with him because he wouldn’tDr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom commit. His reluctance to tie the knot stemmed from the fact that he had any doubts at all. He worried that if it was indeed a right match, that he shouldn’t have any doubts. Interestingly in 2012, researchers at UCLA found that women who reported premarital “cold-feet” were more than two times more likely to be divorced four years later than women who didn’t have doubts. Men’s premarital doubts on the other hand, were not nearly as predictive as those of women (Journal of Family Psychology, 2012). According to this research project, most men seem to have doubts prior to getting married. Noteworthy is also the fact that the divorce rate in the U.S. is declining slowly and steadily since the 1980s. According to experts, approximately 40 percent of marriages will likely end in divorce these days. Perhaps the slight down tick in the divorce rate has to do with the fact that more people are waiting to get married when they are older and age is a significant predictor of marital success. Another significant factor is the wealth of information now available about what makes happy and lasting marriages. While luck in love always helps, the latest research offers up surprisingly simple, maybe obvious, and inexpensive ways to strengthen a relationship’s chances of survival: •Simple Gestures: Three-fourths of happy couples reported that their spouses made them feel cared for or special on a regular basis. “Doing or saying things to make your partner feel special, cared for and loved, is very predictive of staying together, being happy, and (preventing) divorce,” says researcher Orbach of the Early Years of Marriage Project. Gestures as simple as kissing your spouse when they come home, leaving a nice note for them, or texting them that you are thinking of them during the day can go a long way. •Gentle and Ongoing Communication: Dr. John Gottman at the University of Washington, is known for his ability to predict whether newlyweds will divorce with more than 90 percent accuracy based on watching how they communicate. He says that “the people who have stable, happy relationships are much gentler with one another than people who have unhappy rela-
tionships or break up.” For example, they purposely soften their tone when making a complaint or constructive criticism. The happiest couples don’t only talk about the “business” of managing their lives together. Their discussions include sharing their dreams, hopes, and fears. They continue getting to know each other as they evolve over time. When we talk with our partners about who we are and what we want our lives to be about, it creates a shared meaning and purpose in the relationship. •Celebrate Good Times: Dr. Shelly Gable at the University of California in Santa Barbara, found that feeling supported by your spouse during good times makes people feel better about themselves and their relationships. The researchers speculate that the support received during difficult times (while still important) is diluted by the challenges at hand. •Get Creative: We adapt to positive things and take them for granted. This can lead to boredom in a relationship. Couples need to try new activities together rather than doing the same old, same old. It doesn’t have to be scaling a mountain cliff. Depending on your preferences, it could be as simple as going to a different part of town to see a movie versus a movie rental at home. Couples can rekindle and maintain positivity through doing new things and surprising each other. • Apply Yourself: If you want to be a good golfer, artist, or professional, you continue training and working at it. The myth that good relationships shouldn’t take work is just that. Love lasts when both people feel cherished and respected by each other. This is an active process that requires certain tools and effort. The good news is that never before have their been so many resources based on science that can teach us how to cultivate and maintain loving, lasting, secure bonds with our loved ones.

Your Family Matters: Planning ahead for summer The Winston School Festival of the Arts BY DR. KEITH KANNER Planning ahead for a successful summer is important for the mental health of the child and parent alike. Many parents wait until the very last minute to schedule activities for their child, creating probDr. Keith Kanner lems with scheduling and camps filling up quickly. Another common pitfall is either allowing the child free reign about their summer activities or, on the other hand, the parent micromanaging the activities of their child’s summer. Parents need to both ask themselves what they believe is in the best interest of their child over the summer as well as consulting with their child to determine their understood needs. Ideally, summertime should be a balance between scheduled activities and play for the child. Time should be scheduled for activities such as camps, academic remediation if necessary, and plenty of time for rest and play with friends. Summer is also a time to try new skills that often cannot be attempted during the school year because of too many time constraints (i.e. taking up a musical instrument). Finally, summer is also an important time for families to spend time together on vacation or merely enjoying each other’s company. Referencing activities, the attentive parent should be the one to introduce the concept of a balanced summer to their child and then discuss options with them allowing the child some choice in the type of scheduled activities they will participate within. (i.e. the type of camp they may attend; a type of sport to learn). Children and
adolescents are not capable of doing this alone. Once determined, it is important to find programs which are organized, have a low staff to camper ratio, have good reputations, and are, importantly, fun. Balancing fun camps and activities with some academic or artistic activity helps keeps the child’s mind in learning shape and often makes the transition back to school in the fall an easier transition. Research shows that a scheduled and balanced summer also leads to higher self-esteem, greater productivity, less anxiety and opposition, and more harmony around the house. Parents following these recommendations are less anxious as well. Key Points: 1. Parents: Introduce the concept of a balanced summer 2. Plan out activities in advance and put on a schedule 3. Give some choice in picking the type of activities to do 4. Find programs with good reputations and low staff/camper ratios 5. Plan academic remediation if necessary 6. Don’t forget about family time 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. 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.

BY KATHY DAY As The Winston School gears up for its eighth annual Festival of the Arts on May 19, many of the students are putting finishing touches on their creations while others are selecting from work done earlier this year or rehearsing for performances. The festival, which is a highlight of the year for the school and the surrounding community, exemplifies the school’s “philosophy of helping students find and develop their passions and their strengths, whether that be in the arts, in the field of technology, in history, whatever,” said Headmaster Mike Peterson. “In the long run, if you become a good sound technician because of your work with the high school band, it won’t matter that much that you struggled in geography.” The festival is open to the public from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and features original art, photographs, graphic arts and videos. There will also be a theatrical production with sets, music, lighting and sound that is a sampler of a play to be performed the following week by the high school drama club. Musicians from The Winston Band will play original and cover songs, and students will read original poetry in a European-style coffee house. To add to the festivities, there will be carnival games and a video game truck, as well as food. Admission is free but tickets must be purchased for food and games. There will also be a silent auction. Noted for giving students with learning challenges a college prep education in a family-like environment, Winston serves students from fourth to 12th grade. About 80 percent of them are involved directly in the festival, which raises funds to defray the costs of the arts programs. Although not a required component of the program, the arts offer many students an outlet that gives them a way to experience success they might find in the academic setting. “We love the festival because our students tend to be very strong in the arts and get real joy out of their creative expression,” Peterson said. “So many of our students feel themselves to be fish-out-of-water in academic courses and through traditional modes of expression, so this day frees them up. And for them to be seen by their parents, their peers and their teachers in a different way — in a situation where they are succeeding and comfortable, makes for a great moment in their year.” In addition to the work that’s available for sale, the school promotes its Summer Academy of the Arts where students learn and perform a musical from start to finish during the three-week afternoon program, Peterson said. This year they’ll present “Little Shop of Horrors.” The Winston School Festival of the Arts will be held at 215 Ninth Ave., Del Mar; www.thewinstonschool.com; (858) 259-8155.
