The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is moving from the Union Bank Building in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe to the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza on the corner of Manchester and Rancho Santa Fe Road. The center has been owned and managed by Pete Fletcher and his family for nearly 25 years. The Foundation plans to be in its new

space by Sept. 1, and will welcome the community with an Open House soon after. “Many people don’t realize that Union Bank has donated our current office space, rent-free for the past 15 years,” said Christy Wilson, RSF Foundation executive director. “We are See FOUNDATION, page 22

BY KAREN BILLING A new middle school principal has been hired at R. Roger Rowe School in the Rancho Santa Fe School District. Pending approval by the school board at its July 18 meeting, Garrett Corduan will be the principal of sixth through eighth grade at the school. Corduan comes to Rancho Santa Fe from the Murrieta Valley Unified School District where he was principal at Dorothy McElhinney Middle School since 2009. “He has a nice personality and will fit in with the community feeling we have here in the school,” RSF School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said. “He has experience raising test scores and is committed to students performing at the highest level possible.” Delaney said the district posted the position with a list of strong criteria and received 31 applications. From those applications they narrowed it down to seven and from there, a final three from which Corduan was selected. “He seems to embrace exactly what we’re looking for,” Delaney said. Corduan has been in education since 1997. He moved from

Abandoned puppies survive heat, now at HWAC BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A half-dozen puppies found abandoned in a shopping cart outside a mall in Central California last week have been put under the care of the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe and will be available for adoption soon, the center recently announced. The shepherd-terrier mixes, about 4 weeks old, were discovered Friday,

The abandoned puppies will soon be ready for adoption at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. June 28, in Kern County, where the temperature hit 107, said the center’s Jessica

Gercke. The puppies were listless and not moving when

discovered by a passerby, according to the Animal Center. They were given veterinary care and shipped to the Woodward Animal Center on Tuesday, July 2.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF Association Buzz: Looking ahead to the next year Rancho Santa Fe Covenant residents BY ANN BOON reminded to complete online survey As the newly elected Association President I would like to welcome new members Heather Slosar, Philip Wilkinson, and Jerry Yahr to the board. I have worked with all three of them over the last two years on various projects and I am very impressed with their ability to get things accomplished and their commitment to our community. I would also like to thank the recently retired Directors Roxana Foxx, Anne Feighner and Eamon Callahan for serving on the board and keeping everything moving in the right direction. I am looking forward to working with the board to identify some additional community enhancement projects for the upcoming year but, in the meantime, we are starting the year Ann Boon off with a full slate of projects currently in the works that need to be completed. First, we are working closely with the Garden Club to cover all of the outstanding issues in order to complete the purchase of the facilities. We have had tremendous support from the membership of both organizations. We are now making sure that all the legal and structural fine points are thoroughly addressed. Secondly, working with the Golf Club, we are in the process of conducting a community-wide membership survey to develop a better understanding of the makeup of our community and the services our members would like to see in the future. I encourage everyone to complete the survey before the July 22 deadline. This survey addresses all services and facilities in the Covenant and is for ALL Association members, not just members of the Golf Club. The survey only takes about 15 minutes to complete — slightly less for non-Golf Club members. You can find the survey online at www.clubmarksurvey.com/rsfca. If you have any questions, or if you would rather receive a paper survey, please contact Nadine at (858) 7561174 or Shannon at (858) 756-7463. Your input is very important and will be used to help set the stage for future plans to enhance the community. Finally, based on community input and as the board agreed in its Feb. 7, 2013 meeting at the Garden Club, we will be setting up a special committee to review the various options of controlling the flow of traffic on Del Dios Highway. This committee will be looking at all options, including signals, roundabouts and the possibility, as well as the ramifications, of leaving it the way it is with stop signs. In addition to completing these ongoing projects, we will be wrapping up the study of possibilities for strong wireless service to the entire community, finishing the update to the Association website and working with the Golf Club to complete the Golf Club Master Plan for the course. It is obviously going to be a busy year. This board intends to be very productive! I am looking forward to serving our community as President.

The Rancho Santa Fe Association and RSF Golf Club are reminding Covenant property owners who have not completed the online “Club Mark” survey to please do so by July 22. A recently mailed letter directed members to fill out a survey online, one per household. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith said that the survey is to gauge information about Covenant demographics, who lives in Rancho Santa Fe and what Covenant residents are looking for in a golf club. Please go to www.clubmarksurvey.com/rsfca Or you can click the link on the Golf Club or Association websites: www.rsfgolfclub.com or www.rsfassociation.org If you have any questions, would rather receive a paper survey, or cannot find your control number to complete the survey, please contact Nadine at 858-756-1174/email: nadine@rsfassociation.org or Shannon at 858-756-7463/email: smccarthy@rsfgc.com “Your responses and opinions matter!” — The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors and the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club Board of Governors

Fire hydrant hit by car in RSF BY MONICA GARSKE, NBC SAN DIEGO A driver slammed into a fire hydrant in the early morning of July 7, shearing the hydrant and causing a big, wet mess in Rancho Santa Fe. The incident happened around 3:45 a.m. at Linea Del Cielo and Ramba De Las Flores. For unknown reasons, the driver behind the wheel of a pickup truck slammed into a fire hydrant. Water went shooting up into the air, hitting a power line and causing an outage. SDG&E officials were called to the scene to help restore power to customers. The water spewing from the hydrant was eventually shut off. The incident caused some minor flooding in surrounding streets. The driver was detained by officers at the scene, who determined he was not driving under the influence, officials said.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

‘Kite Runner’ author, UCSD alumni returns to area for talk BY PAT SHERMAN Khaled Hosseini, author of the best-selling novel “The Kite Runner” (basis for the 2007 film of the same name), was in La Jolla June 26 for a discussion and book signing at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street. During the sold-out event, hosted by Warwick’s bookstore and moderated by radio host Martha Barnette, the 1993 UC San Diego School of Medicine graduate spoke of returning to his “former stomping grounds.” “It’s great to be back,” Hosseini said. “I really loved my time here at UC San Diego… I made some amazing friends and had four really unforgettable years here… I ended up practicing (medicine) for a good eight-anda-half years.” Asked if he wrote during his time at UCSD, Hosseini chided Barnette, “Your even asking that question shows me that you know very little about medical school. I took a seven-year sabbatical from writing during medical school and my three years of residency training, but I was writing pretty much my whole time

Martha Barnette, host of public radio’s ‘A Way With Words,’ interviews best-selling author and UCSD graduate Khaled Hosseini at the Museum of Contemporary Art on June 26. PHOTO/PAT SHERMAN in the U.S. outside of those seven years,” though Hosseini said he didn’t save much of his early writing. Born in Kabul, Hosseini came to California with his family at age 15, as part of an initial wave of immigrants seeking asylum in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He spoke almost no English — though

curiously, he said, he knew the word “gluttony.” “It’s sort of the very bythe-book immigrant story,” he said. “My family arrived in the U.S. essentially stripped of all belongings and possessions and title. Like any other firstborn son of an immigrant family, I had my choice of three careers and I couldn’t imagine

being an engineer or a lawyer.” Before signing copies of his new book, “And the Mountains Echoed,” Hosseini fielded questions from the audience. One woman remarked that she felt more connected to the characters in his new release than his first two novels, which includes

his sophomore effort, “A Thousand Splendid Suns.” As a writer, Hosseini said he considers himself more discriminating and tougher on himself these days. “I’m much more careful about what I put on paper,” he said. “I’m not dissing ‘The Kite Runner.’ I love the book, but I haven’t read it in 10 years. I’d want to take out the editing pen.” Hosseini said the characters and relationships in “And the Mountains Echoed” are more complex, nuanced and morally ambiguous than those in his previous works. “Their failures, their fallibilities, their honorable points — it’s all there and it’s a big mess, and we catch them at moments of decision making … and to me that’s very interesting,” he said. His new book is also filled with nods to his poetic education in Afghanistan, where he said verse is the traditional mode of artistic expression. “It sort of transcends that; it’s really part of the Afghan DNA, part of even common people’s lingo,” he said, noting that even

in areas with high rates of illiteracy, people can recite lines of poetry and Rumi’s verse is often found alongside graffiti on abandoned buildings. “You were expected to memorize poetry, you were expected to understand it,” he said. Though the new book pays homage to that poetic upbringing and touches on the wars and controversy in Afghan, Hosseini said it is decidedly less political and forceful than his first two books. “My sense is that ‘Kite Runner’ was quite divisive in my community in that some people felt it brought out problems in Afghan society that might have been best kept in-house — that’s something that I fully understand,” he said, noting the skepticism felt by some Afghans who’ve personally lived through the “debacle of the last 30 years.” “I do expect that as an Afghan living in exile writing about Afghanistan that I will always have my critics,” he said. “That’s just par for the course.” For more information, visit www.khaledhosseini. com.

Carol and Russ Penniman (standing, back row) with four wounded warriors and their wives at the benefit dinner/concert held recently at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. COURTESY PHOTOS

RSF couple devoted to development of Integra Center for wounded warriors BY JOE TASH RSF resident Russ Penniman took the oath to serve in the U.S. Navy in the 1970s, against the backdrop of the end of the Vietnam War. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Penniman said he watched with “great disappointment” as the nation neglected its returning service members. Now a rear admiral serving on active duty as deputy commander and chief of staff for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Penniman said he is determined not to let veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer the same fate. Penniman is speaking out in support of the Integra Center, which is envisioned as a facility where wounded warriors can receive all of the care they need, from medical services to education to job training to counseling, under one roof. Penniman’s wife, Carol, whose background is in the financial industry, serves on the Integra Center’s five-member board of directors, and the couple recently hosted a concert during the San Diego County Fair to promote the project. The new center, once it is operational, will serve wounded combat veterans who have suffered amputations and traumatic brain injuries. “These are the folks we need to take care of for the rest of their lives. As a society, we owe them that,” Penniman said in a telephone interview from his Naval office in Hawaii. “There’s a small group of Americans out on the line all the time, manning a post, standing a watch, on patrol, to secure the freedoms that we enjoy every day,” said Penniman, who is also a member of the board for the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. Anthony McDaniel Jr., a Marine sergeant who lost both legs and one hand when he stepped on an “improvised explosive device” while on patrol in Afghanistan in 2010, said he received a lot of support during his recovery and rehabilitation at medical centers in Washington D.C. and San Diego. The Integra Center will be a great addition to the range of services available to wounded warriors, he said. The Integra Center “is a place that people are trying to get together for everyone to get what they need. Nobody is left out. We want people to feel like there’s somewhere they can to get the things they need,” he said. McDaniel, 24, plays in a wheelchair basketball league and is planning to move to Florida where he will finish a degree in accounting before starting his own small business such as a car wash.

The idea for a “one-stop shop” to provide comprehensive services for wounded warriors was first proposed by Rear Adm. C. Forrest Faison III, commander of the Naval Medical Center San Diego and Navy Medicine West. In an article published last December by the U.S. Naval Institute, Faison said wounded warriors need four things to help them transition successfully back to civilian life and avoid the pitfalls of substance abuse and homelessness: seamless medical care for life, education, job and career assistance, and family support services such as childcare and counseling. While such services are available for wounded warriors in San Diego, they are spread out in many different locations, said Carol Penniman. Because many injured service members can’t drive, they have to rely on their spouses for transportation, causing family stress and putting the spouses’ own jobs at risk. “Forrest said it would be so great to put all of this under one roof,” said Carol Penniman. “We want it to be warm, welcoming, light, accommodating,” she said. “A community place where they can just go and be with each other, a place where they feel very welcome and comfortable.” Along with the Martina McBride concert, the Integra Center also staffed a booth with volunteers during the run of the fair, providing information, collecting small donations and allowing fair visitors to sign a commemorative wall. Supporters are beginning their outreach efforts with the goal of raising $20 million to lease space for the center, customize the building, and run the center for its first five years, said MaryAnn F. Stewart, Integra Center president. “Right now we’re just at the threshold of seeing this happen,” said Carol Penniman. Stewart said the group seeks to lease part of an existing building, with 40,000 to 50,000 square feet of space. About half of the center would be devoted to medical care, which would be provided by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. Currently, such care is provided at Balboa Naval Medical Center. Ideally, the facility would be located along the I-15 corridor in North San Diego County, Stewart said. The center would be designed to serve some 125 wounded warriors per year, and may also have capacity to serve the civilian population, she said.

Dorothy Roll believes in staying active physically, intellectually and socially. Which is just one of the many reasons she and her husband, Milton, moved to La Costa Glen. She knew they would keep busy, but she never expected more than 75 different clubs, classes and committees right on campus. And since home maintenance and worry about access to long-term care are a thing of the past, they can truly enjoy their active lifestyle. What can you expect at La Costa Glen?

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Have something on your mind you want to blurt out to the world for immediate feedback? There’s now an app for that, and the company that developed the app and corresponding website has local roots. Blurtopia is a social media platform that uses pictures and questions or statements to start online conversations. “We call it the realtime opinion network for the things you’re passionate about,” said Blurtopia CEO and co-founder Ryan Bettencourt. “It’s a conversation starter.” The concept of Blurtopia originated last summer when Bettencourt, 37, noticed a woman taking photos while trying on shoes at Westfield UTC and texting the pictures to her friends. The woman said she needed advice on which shoes to purchase for a party that evening, Bettencourt said. “I thought, ‘We can do that in a much smarter way,’” said Bettencourt, a husband and father of two daughters. After a series of brainstorming sessions with Blurtopia’s other co-founders — some of which took place at Board & Brew Del Mar — the app was developed and launched in October 2012. Blurtopia has about 50,000 users, and is averaging 1,000 new users each day since version 2.0 was released a few weeks ago, Bettencourt said. The updated version has a sleeker design and allows users to easily share their “Blurts” via texts and other social media outlets. Bettencourt said the social media platform is growing because 90 percent of its users contribute content to the community. Blurtopia also encourages feedback,

Left: Ryan Bettencourt, Blurtopia CEO and co-founder. Right: Blurtopia. COURTESY PHOTOS while other popular social media sites don’t, he added. “The reason why people use this so much is because we have really high levels of engagement,” Bettencourt said. “People send something out with the expectation that they’re going to get something back. They’re asking for feedback. They’re asking for people to get involved in the conversation rather than just broadcasting something.” Blurtopia is not only gaining attention from the public, but fellow entrepreneurs. In June, Blurtopia won $5,000 at Interactive Day San Diego during Shark Tank, a local version of ABC’s reality TV series of the same name. In addition, the social media platform was selected from 11 semifinalists and won $10,000 at San Diego Venture Group’s PitchFest 2012. More than 100 applicants applied for the event. “I enjoyed pitching and sharing,” Bettencourt said. “I’m passionate about what we’re doing. It’s just one of those things that’s fun and useful to use. Ultimately, our mission and passion is to inspire these little lightweight conversations on the things that just pop in your mind and you’re curious about. We think we do

that as well or better than any other platforms out there.” The Blurtopia team continues to meet locally to perfect the product. Their new favorite meeting place? The beach. “We’ll just paddle out there, surf and talk through our ideas,” Bettencourt said. “This is like a central surfing area where we actually tackle hard problems.” While Bettencourt believes Blurtopia could become as popular as leading social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, the team is also focused on building a widget so others sites can offer the “Blurtopia experience.” “We do think there’s potential we can get a lightning strike, but we’re not depending on that,” Bettencourt said. “We’re extending what we do outside of just our platform. We’re building a widget system that basically takes the experience of Blurtopia and embeds it elsewhere, so you can embed it in your own site, your own blog, and take advantage of that engagement.” To learn more about Blurtopia or sign up for an account, visit www.blurtopia.com.

The Old Globe will give San Diegans a chance to hear their voices on stage when it holds open voiceover auditions for the World Premiere of Samuel D. Hunter’s comedy “The Few” on Sunday, July 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The open call will take place on The Old Globe’s Copley Plaza, and auditioners will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. People without prior acting experience are highly encouraged to audition. Those chosen will be notified in August and will receive $150, two tickets to “The Few” and the opportunity to hear their voices featured in the show throughout its run. For more information, please visit www.theoldglobe.org/aboutus/jobs/auditions.aspx or email Casting@TheOldGlobe.org. The Old Globe will use voice recordings from 17 members of the public to create a distinct and vibrant storytelling component of The Few.

Local photographer helps young women through Eating Disorder Project BY KAREN BILLING Local photographer Hanna Kluner is using her lens as a way to heal body image issues in y o u n g w o m e n with eating disorders. With her ED (Eating Disorder) Hanna Kluner P r o j e c t , Kluner has photographed a group of young women she has worked with as a holistic health professional at the Eating Disorders Center of San Diego and helped them see themselves in a way they have never been able to before. “When we look in a mirror we don’t really see ourselves. Self judgements override the truth,” Kluner

said. “Through the process of being photographed in a very nurturing and caring way, one’s true spirit is felt and then captured as an image. One’s beauty is then reflected back, which can create new ways of seeing oneself, leading to increased confidence and a new sense of self.” The results of Kluner’s photography sessions during the ED Project have been very rewarding to both Kluner and her subjects. “I went into my photo session critiquing every inch of myself from head to toe, wanting to cover-up and hide,” wrote Amber, one of Kluner’s subjects. “I anticipated seeing a monster in the photographs but I soon discovered that the monster was in my mind.” Kluner has been work-

ing as a professional photographer for 28 years and her favorite subjects are people of all ages and stages. She specializes in portraits, but has also done commercial work, food photography, model portfolios and headshots. She said one of her best talents as a photographer is making clients feel calm and comfortable and then capturing an image that reflects back their “essence.” In 2001, Kluner’s husband Kerry died suddenly and to help deal with her grief she started a second career as a yoga therapist. She became certified as a Phoenix Rising yoga therapy practitioner and grief recovery specialist, and opened a yoga studio in her Carmel Valley home. As a yoga therapist,

A photograph in Hanna Kluner’s ED Project of Jordyn. COURTESY PHOTOS some of her clients were teenagers and young women who struggle with eating disorders at the Eating Disorders Center. Kluner had an idea that photography could be instrumental in their healing process.

“The results were marvelous, transformative and empowering,” Kluner said. Going through the process, Kluner asked her subjects to write journals that described their feelings before, during and after the photo shoot. Amber wrote that viewing her photographs caused a lot of giggling and “That’s me?” “I did not anticipate seeing a lovely woman full of softness and light,” wrote Amber, who said that the experience with Kluner enriched her life. Another one of the girls, Jordyn, wrote about how worried she was before the shoot but then said she started to relax when she realized the photo shoot could just be for her. “It wasn’t seeing the

photos that made me feel beautiful, it was this sudden feeling of freedom I got from knowing that I did this for myself and that’s okay!” Jordyn wrote. “I took a whole evening to disappear from the world and be the center of my own attention! That feeling of power, freedom and inner beauty came as a far more precious gift than any of the photos themselves whenever that monster crept in.” Kluner is looking for a grant to be able to publish an ED Project book of the photos and journal entries. She would also like to extend her work as a way to empower breast cancer survivors, seniors and homeless teens. To learn more, visit hannaklunerphotography. com; 858-342-7797.

Torrey Pines High School Synthetic Biology Club members receiving their prize.

TPHS Synthetic Biology Club wins prize at international competition

The Torrey Pines High School Synthetic Biology Club recently brought home the “Best Experimental Measurement” prize in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) High School Competition held June 28-29 at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Cambridge, Mass. This year’s High School division included 30 teams from nine countries. “This was an impressive result for the first year of operation of the TPHS Synthetic Biology Club.” The TPHS team members were Eric Chen, Hope Chen, Brian Choi, Naim Kassira, Gha Young Lee, Michael Margolis, Nicki Nikkhoy, Mokhshan Ramachandran, Brandon Read, Minh Tran, Cindy Yang and Tareq Younis. The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. “This project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method.” In 2011 iGEM expanded to include a High School Division that starts in the winter and an Entrepreneurship Division in 2012. Seven of the 12-member team of the TPHS Synthetic Biology Club were able to travel to Cambridge recently where they presented and defended their iGEM competition project. The project entailed engineering a repressible promoter from the LasR quorum sensing system found in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa bacterium with the aim of expanding the toolkit available to synthetic biologists. With the exception of some work needing special equipment done at UCSD, the majority of the experimental wet lab work was done on campus under the supervision of TPHS science teacher Brinn Belyea, with primary mentoring from UCSD PhD candidates Spencer Scott along with John De Friel and Daniel Jacobsen, all from the UCSD Biodynamics Lab, and with sponsorship and donations from New England Biolabs, Life Technologies and generous community members through the TPHS Foundation.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Last Nazi Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to speak at Chabad Jewish Center of RSF event Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe is presenting a lecture by Dr Efraim Zuroff, the Simon Wiesenthal Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief Nazi hunter on Tuesday, July 30, at 7 p.m. at the RSF home of Drs. Andrew and Diana Benedek. Zuroff, director of the Wiesenthal Center in Jeruselem, is an American-born Israeli historian who has played an important role in the efforts to bring Nazi war criminals to justice during the past 28 years. Zuroff will discuss his role in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operation: Last Chance,â&#x20AC;? which he launched in 2002. Zuroff spearheaded a vast public campaign to locate and bring to justice as many as possible of the worst suspected Nazi criminals, before ill health or death spared them from standing trial. Zuroff describes himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one third detective, one third historian and one third political lobbyist.â&#x20AC;? In 1978 he was invited to be the first director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, where he played a leading role in establishing the Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library and archives and was historical advisor for the Academy Award-winning documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Genocide.â&#x20AC;? He began his career as a Nazi hunter in 1980 when he was hired by the U.S. Justice Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Special Investigations to be their sole researcher in Israel. During his six years in that capacity, his efforts assisted in the preparation of cases against numerous Nazi war criminals living in the United States. In 1986 his research uncovered the postwar escape of hundreds of Nazi war criminals to Australia, Canada, Great Britain and other countries, and he rejoined the Wiesenthal Center to coordinate its international efforts to bring Holocaust perpetrators to justice. So far, Operation Last Chance has yielded the names of 530 hereto-unknown suspects, 100 of which have been submitted to local prosecutors. Attend this important lecture. Sponsorship opportuni-

ties are available. Seating is limited and reservations are required. Please make a reservation at www.jewishRSF. com. For more information, call 858-756-7571 or email: info@jewishrsf.com. After the lecture, Zuroff will be signing copies of his new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operation Last Chance: One Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quest to Bring Nazi Criminals to Justiceâ&#x20AC;? and copies of the book will be available for purchase.

lished contemporary realist painting, Todd Krasovetz’s soft abstractions forge new artistic territories evoking the power, tempo and tonal complexity of musical composition. Born of a spontaneous process very close to Pollock’s “action painting” which Krasovetz describes as “event painting,” these bold and expressive large scale works on canvas trace back through the heroic lineages of Sargent, Matisse and Van Gogh. Working horizontally, Krasovetz’s process involves accelerating the drying time of the oil paint which he splashes freely into the artistic ether. Combinations of warm and cool hues emit contrasting notes that emerge as translucent and metallic layers resembling the ebb and flow of water. Ornate patterns and undisclosed narrative qualities embellish the plane. As a whole the portraits evoke a sense of fragmentation, memory and emotionality, catalyzing around the evocative feminine mystique, which they take as their central theme.” For more information, visit www.ranchosantafeartist.com.

Overall, the first 6 months of 2013 look very similar to its first quarter, except inventory is not as depleted. Specifically, average daily inventory for the first 6 months of 2013 was 246 properties versus 215 properties for the first quarter of 2013. Despite inventory climbing during the second quarter of 2013 relative to the first, inventory is down 8% when comparing the first 6 months of 2013 to the first 6 months of 2012. For this semi-annual year-over-year contrast, sales have increased 19% with marketing times declining 37%. During this 6-month time period, 129 properties were sold in 2012 compared to 153 in 2013. With such a jump in sales, one would suspect hints of either longer marketing time lines and/or price discounting, yet neither surfaced. Average marketing time shrunk from 274 days in 2012 to 173 days in 2013 with overall median sold price remaining constant at $2,100,000. As we will see below, it was incongruent sub-market behavior that created this overall market performance. Located in the posh guarded-gated community of the Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe, this custom designed and built estate exudes Spanish-Mediterranean ambiance on a spacious 2.42 acre lot showcasing panoramic golf course, countryside and sunset vistas. The home spans nearly 7,640 square feet with 5 bedrooms plus an office and 7.5 baths of casual elegance and high quality construction embellished with the finest imported finishes, including the extensive use of limestone, artisan mosaic work, slab granite, distressed hardwood floors and hand-hewn wood beam ceilings.

Original Listing Price: less than $3 million Three months ago, the median sold price for this sub-market for the first quarter of 2013 was $1,600,000. Today, the median sold price for the first 6 months of 2013 is $1,890,000. Of all three sub-markets presented here for Rancho Santa Fe, properties with an original listing price less than $3,000,000 has had the highest value appreciation when comparing median sold price for the first 6 months of 2012 to the same time period in 2013. Median sold price has increased 29.7% for this time comparison. Not only that, but the number of properties sold increased 30% from 84 in 2012 to 109 in 2013. All this happened while marketing times fell 41% from 205 days in 2012 to 121 days in 2013. None of this has gone unnoticed by sellers either. For this 6-month time period in 2012, on the median, sellers were discounting from their original listing price nearly 14% to final sales price. This year, they are discounting only slightly more than 7%. From all corners, nothing appears to be in the way of further seller strength in this sub-market. Original Listing Price: $3 million - $5 million A semi-annual year-over-year analysis of this sub-market yields rather static results, except for the number of properties sold. Every other primary indicator remained essentially unchanged when comparing the first 6 months of 2012 to that of 2013. The number of properties sold increased 13.3% from 30 in 2012 to 34 in 2013. While median sold price remained almost flat at -2.4%, the discount sellers were taking off their original listing price to make a sale decreased on a relative basis nearly 30%, going from a median discount of 22% in 2012 to 15.5% in 2013. This could be due to sellers pricing their properties closer to the market or sellers sensing some weakness in the market, thus starting with lower overall original listing values. There is some evidence of the latter. While inventory only declined 3.6%, new listings increased 27.5%. With only a 13.3% increase in sales and average marketing time going unchanged, a substantial increase in new listings could create market softness which sellers may be bracing for with slightly lower overall original listing values. However, these new listings could also create some sub-market strength by supplying greater property selection in a submarket already constrained by low inventory. Original Listing Price: $5 million or more Of all the sub-markets listed here, this was the only one to experience fewer sales for the first 6 months of 2013 than that same 2012 time period. There were 33.3% fewer properties sold. 15 in 2012 versus 10 in 2013. However, there is more to the story. Median sold price increased 12.9% from $4,650,000 to $5,250,000. 3 months ago, when I wrote about the first quarter of this year versus that of 2012, there was actually a median value decline in this sub-market from $4,767,500 in Q1 2012 to $4,600,000 in Q1 2013. This turned around during the second quarter of 2013. Albeit sales are down, median sold price is up and marketing times are contracting. Average marketing time for all properties sold in this sub-market for the first 6 months of 2013 declined 47.1% compared to the same time period in 2012. Sellers are obviously holding out for price and a few astute buyers are sensing that this sub-market may have nowhere else to go, but up. Consequently, I believe this sub-market is currently characterized more by the positive direction of its median value and time line, than its sales activity.

Host families needed for Japanese high school football players in late August Former Torrey Pines football coach Ed Burke is searching for families interested in hosting a Japanese high school football player for 17 days in late August. The students represent Ritsumeikan Uji High School located in Kyoto, Japan. They will arrive Aug. 17 and depart Sept. 3. This will be the seventh year that coach Burke and Torrey Pines has played host to the Panther players, but unfortunately it will also be the last year. Burke has decided to officially retire from his involvement in what has been a labor of love each year. So, if you were possibly considering hosting a Japanese player, this is the year to do it. The Panthers will not be returning to Torrey Pines in 2014. The 2013 team is comprised of 19 boys and one girl trainer. The team will be attending school and practicing at Torrey Pines during their stay, so most of the transportation needs will be similar to that of any student attending the high school. You would be asked to provide lodging, meals, and transportation to and from school during their stay. A daily stipend of $15 to help offset your food and gas expenses will be provided. Each year has been a memorable experience for the families involved, and lifelong relationships are usually formed. It is a unique and rewarding experience that will not be available again. If interested, please contact Ed Burke by phone at (760) 331-7412 or through email at edandloretta@sbcglobal.net.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

July 11, 2013

Former Dons baseball star sharpening skills and enjoying life as a pro BY GIDEON RUBIN Daniel Camarena concluded his distinguished Cathedral Catholic baseball career two years ago in the middle of a giant dog pile at Tony Gwynn Stadium as the Dons celebrated a San Diego Section championship. Speculation about his career choices immediately swirled. Would Camarena, a pitcher/outfielder who was almost certain to be selected in the June 2011 amateur draft, honor a commitment to University of San Diego or choose pro ball? Would his arm or his bat be the focus of his future development? With a stroke of the pen, he put an end to all the conjecture. Camarena signed a professional contract with the New York Yankees that included a $335,000 signing bonus a few months after his high school graduation. Camarena, now 20, has emerged as a left-handed pitching prospect in the Yankees organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I made the decision Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been happy with it,â&#x20AC;? Camarena said in a telephone interview. The former Dons star dropped to the 20th round because, according to published reports, he was thought to be leaning heavily to playing at San Diego. His signing bonus is considered to be in line with a player selected much earlier in the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it came down to it the Yankees offered me the school part of it,â&#x20AC;? Camarena said of his decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can go back (to school) whenever I want and develop as a pitcher and a pitcher only instead of a two-way guy at San Diego. I can focus on my craft as a pitcher.â&#x20AC;? His focus appears to be paying off. Camarena, who is in his first year playing professionally in a full-season league, overcame a shaky start and his since emerged as one of the Charleston (S.C.) RiverDogs hottest pitchers. Over his last seven appearances (including four starts), heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed one run on six hits and two walks with 15 strikeouts over a stretch of 27 innings. The Yankees have taken a conservative approach in Camarenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pitch after being drafted in 2011 and split last season between extended spring training games and the short-season Gulf Coast League. He had a 1.02 ERA in GCL, striking out 15 batters and allowing eight hits and no walks in five games with no deci-

Camarenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is especially impressive considering heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competing against mostly older players in the Class-A South Atlantic League. Most players in the league were drafted out of college. And the Yankees have taken notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him even being a 20-year-old heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the more mature kids in terms of baseball knowledge,â&#x20AC;? RiverDogs pitching coach Danny Borrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just seems like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around the game. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like anything on the field really bothers him.â&#x20AC;? Camarena hit a rough patch in May allowing 13 runs (12 earned) over a stretch of two consecutive bad starts. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-3 with a 4.87 ERA overall for the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him to make those adjustments as quick as he has is a testament to his ability and his knowledge of the game,â&#x20AC;? Borrell said. Competing against older players was nothing new to Camarena, who regularly did so playing club ball. He was a key contributor at Cathedral Catholic as a sophomore. But his experience playing against older professional

players was different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just older kids, these are the best of the best,â&#x20AC;? Camarena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intimidating at first, but now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got no fear out there. Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another baseball player.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added to his baseball knowledge, learning about the game from coaches and rubbing shoulders with big leaguers on rehab assignments and at extended spring training. Earlier this month Camarena played with a rehabbing Alex Rodriguez in games that were featured on ESPN highlights chronicling the slugging third basemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress. He played with pitchers Joba Chamberlain and David Aardsma and catcher Eduardo Nunez on rehab assignments last year. He got to meet his childhood idol Andy Pettite last summer at extended spring training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of surprised me is how big he is on faith and how his faith really plays in to why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so fearless for so many years and still is to this day,â&#x20AC;? Camarena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what really stuck with me.â&#x20AC;? Camarenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience wearing a Dons uniform sticks with him too. He cites playing against elite competition at Cathedral Catholic as a key part of his development. Among the players he regularly faced was La Costa Canyonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phillip Evans, who was drafted by Mets in the 15th round of the 2011 draft. His best high school memories include pitching a complete game to lead the Dons to a 3-2 win against El Capitan in the 2011 San Diego Section Division III title game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That goes with me everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Camarena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year I go back there to see the school and see our banner from that year. That was a big accomplishment for me.â&#x20AC;? Camarena acknowledges life in the minors isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all fun and games, noting that the long bus rides, bad food, and sweltering heat and humidity are among the challenges he faces daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody thinks (professional baseball players) make a lot of money and lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got everything you want and the reality itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard grind,â&#x20AC;? Camarena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out here fighting every day; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dog-eat-dog world here in the minor leagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always going to be those long days and especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a slump, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be ready for anything out here.â&#x20AC;?

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Education Matters/Opinion Education potpourri: Middle school, lawsuit battles, custody, and the sports obsessed BY MARSHA SUTTON After m o v i n g sixth grade into middle school Marsha Sutton beginning this fall, the Rancho Santa Fe School District will join most other school districts nationally that group sixth-, seventh- and eighthgraders together. A 6-8 middle school configuration is now commonly accepted, over the 7-8 combination we see locally or even the 7-9 combination that I grew up with. It makes sense on so many levels. Both students and parents can form deeper attachments to their schools when three years are spent there rather than two. Two years is more like a holding pen than an institution that fosters longterm school spirit and meaningful connections. Curriculum is often written with sixth grade at the middle school level. For example, textbook publishers commonly divide World History into two parts – the first half in sixth grade and

the second in seventh. Attending one school or school district for sixth grade and a different one for seventh can mean poor integration of material. It can also mean lack of rigor in sixth grade where history is taught by homeroom teachers rather than middle school teachers who specialize in history. And with the new Common Core State Standards (required by 2014) that organize material in three clusters –for grades K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 – the middle school grade realignment becomes more pressing. Even though she had reservations, Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent Lindy Delaney said sixth-, seventh- and eighthgraders need to begin working together. “I actually resisted it because I like the idea of sixth-graders remaining young,” she said, “but not at the sake of education. So we made the change.” Delaney said she did a study four years ago, and found no compelling reason to move sixth grade into middle school. “There’s

a big difference between a sixth-grader and an eighthgrader,” she said. But positive outcomes have resulted from the decision to create a 6-8 middle school, she said, including a cohesive body of instructors from the economy of scale and parents excited about the change. “We’ll find ways to take care of our sixth-graders because they’re young,” she said. “Overall it’s good.” So what to do about Del Mar and Solana Beach, which are K-6 districts? San Dieguito Union High School District serves grades 7-12 and needs to find a way to incorporate sixth grade into its embrace. But because this is a major change in the way school districts function and because funding is affected, what’s best for kids is likely to be derailed by inertia and bureaucratic stumbling blocks. The K-6 grade configuration is a relic from the past. But it may take an act of Congress to make what’s right happen. Good for Rancho Santa Fe for leading the way. Personal email ac-

counts for public officials The Del Mar Union School District wrapped up a lawsuit filed by Del Mar resident Michael Robertson who sued the DMUSD in 2011 for what he said were violations of the California Public Records Act. Among other issues, he claimed that emails to and from elected school district trustees doing school district business on their home computers using private email addresses should be released as part of the public record. Sadly, he lost this argument. Although the DMUSD won the bulk of the lawsuit, the school board voted at its April 24 meeting to pay Robertson $42,500 in attorneys’ fees, to settle the case. According to DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg, the district was asked by the court to go back and search for additional documents that fit the original search request, and the district found more that had not originally been turned over to Robertson. Because of this, the court ruled the district was responsible for partial attorneys’ fees. McClurg said

Robertson asked for $155,872, and the amount paid was $42,500. That Robertson lost this case, despite the minimal legal fee paid to his attorney, is remarkable. To allow elected officials to carry out the public’s business behind the improper shield of personal email accounts is a travesty. According to an article in the April 17 issue of Education Week titled “As Communications Technology Advances, Sunshine Laws Lag,” policies can become murky when school board members use personal emails for public business. When a reporter in New Mexico submitted a public records request for emails from five school board members in the Santa Fe district, he found that four were using their personal emails for school district matters. According to the story, “The arduous process of obtaining [the emails] led the board to adopt a policy in February that bans the use of private email accounts for public business.” This is a policy every school district should adopt without hesitation or discussion – and one that we the public should demand. Give parents those tests! Speaking of Robertson lawsuits, his challenge to the San Dieguito Union High School District to release tests and quizzes so parents can review their child’s progress at home is one every parent should get behind. There is no excuse for teachers to withhold these vital pieces of information that track progress and comprehension of the material being taught. Even teachers who allow tests to be reviewed at school clearly present an undue hardship on working parents. Those teachers who restrict access to tests are hiding behind the lame excuse that tests can be copied and distributed if tests go home. This is certainly true. But there’s no problem with sending tests home if teachers are willing to create new tests.

Children first? Not presently. Let’s see how San Dieguito handles this one.

PUPPIES continued from page 1 said Labeth Thompson, inventory manager at the center. ``Any pet left outdoors with no shade or water is also at risk.

ing to a July 6 U-T San Diego article), I was reminded of comments from many parents who have asked me over the years to report on the appalling behavior of athletic coaches. To be fair, appalling behavior of athletic coaches is not confined to San Dieguito but is a chronic problem in many school districts with top-notch sports programs. The concern persists in part because children and parents are too intimidated to speak out for fear the students will either not make the team the next year or will be benched all season long, their potential careers as future Michael Jordans or Mia Hamms destroyed forever. Anecdotal stories are appalling. Here’s one about

a coach for some girls’ sport (I get them all confused – something with a stick, ball or net) who likes to chant on the bus after a victory, “F--- yeah! F--- yeah! F--yeah!” – with her fist pumping the air. There’s the story of a local coach who, after receiving a second-place trophy, broke it in half and scattered the pieces on the field in front of both teams and the spectators. How gracious is that? How about the coaches who regularly call players retarded, ass----, or even use the N-word (F-words are too commonly used by coaches to even deserve a mention) to pummel African-American students who might be having an off day. No wonder kids bully other kids, when adults do it

Our priority is to provide excellent and cost-effective stewardship of the philanthropic funds entrusted to us, and this move enables us to do that,” Hokanson said. “In fact, we considered several options for staying in the Village of Rancho Santa Fe, but they turned out not to be financially feasible for us. We are providing for the long-term, sustainable growth of the Foundation and our mission to serve others with this move to Rancho Santa Fe Plaza.” The Rancho Santa Fe

Foundation was founded in 1981 by a group of community-minded residents who sought a more efficient and effective channel for local philanthropy. Today, the Foundation and its donors support nonprofits in Rancho Santa Fe, throughout San Diego County, the nation and the world. In 2012, donors with donor advised funds at the Foundation gave $1.8 million to nonprofits – 20 percent to organizations in Rancho Santa Fe; 53 percent to nonprofits in San Diego County (outside of RSF); 24

percent to organizations in the US beyond SD County; and 3 percent to international nonprofits. “Our strong roots in Rancho Santa Fe help us understand and serve this

community,” Wilson said. “We will continue to rely on this support, and that of others throughout San Diego County, to provide the philanthropic assets necessary to support and enhance

OBITUARIES

Nancy Alison Groeniger 1929 – 2013 Nancy was born on the 11th of April 1929, in Detroit, MI, to parents, Drusilla and Roy Burton. Her adolescent years were spent in Buffalo and Cleveland, before moving to California and taking up residence in San Francisco. A product of Presentation High School, class of 1947, she proceeded on to and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, earning her degree in 1951, and her teaching credential in 1952. Nancy pledged Alpha Chi Omega, served as president her senior year and maintained a life-long afﬁliation with the sorority and her sisters. She met and married her college sweetheart,

William Groeniger, just prior to graduation, a union lasting 61 years until her recent passing on the 28th of June 2013. Their love is evidenced by five children and their spouses: Bill and Karen; Scott and Carol; Kurt and Gayle; Kristen; Brett and Gail; as well as five granddaughters; 11 grandsons; and two greatgranddaughters. Nancy was an enthusiastic and tireless supporter of charitable entities wherever she resided in Southern California. Whether leading the charge or supporting her friends, she provided her talents and time selflessly to better her community. Among her many affiliations were: Florence Crittenton of Orange County; Children’s Hospital Auxiliary; Alpha Chi Omega Sorority; Damas de Caridad; Rancho Santa Fe Republican Women; Deacon at RSF Village Church; Assistance League of Fullerton and San Diego (Juniors and Seniors); Les Dames d’Escoffier; Red Hat Desert Foxies; RSF Business and Professional Women; Country Friends Auxiliary; The Muses; and over forty years as a Marine Corps wife. She earned special appreciation Commendations from the

Commandant of the Marine Corps and Marines Toys for Tots on behalf of her services to the Corps. Her ﬁnal residence was in Indian Wells, CA, with visits back to Rancho Santa Fe where she lived for 37 years. Though her health had declined in the recent years, she maintained her indomitable spirit in spite of many setbacks, a credit to her personal involvement and ongoing relationship with some very special doctors who provided care for her and provided her with many more years of family time. That resilient spirit and her loving family sustained her to the end. She is immeasurably missed by all whom she touched in her bountiful life. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 14, 2013, at 12 noon in the Ramon Room of Forest Lawn, Cathedral City, CA. Donations in memory of Nancy can be made to Marine Corps University Foundation and Alpha Chi Omega Foundation. Forest Lawn Memorial Parks & Mortuaries.

Del Mar racing season off and running July 17 BY KELLEY CARLSON With smokin’ hot events planned and blazing-fast horses shipping in from around the country, Del Mar once again promises to be as “cool as ever” this summer. “Last year was one of our best years ever,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. “We’d like to keep that momentum going, and we expect it to be great this year, as well.” The seaside oval’s 74th season will commence on July 17 and continue through Sept. 4, with 43 stakes races to be run in 37 racing days. Seven of the races will carry Grade I status, including Del Mar’s signature event, the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic, which will be held Aug. 25. According to Bahr, this year’s Classic could possibly feature a rematch between 2012 winner Dullahan and runner-up Game On Dude, one of the top older horses in the nation. Also on Pacific Classic Day, there will be a long-sleeve T-shirt giveaway, but with a bit of a twist — for the first time, the design will be created by a racing fan. People can submit up to two entries for the “You-Design-the-Tshirt” contest through July 22 at dmtc.com/shirtcontest. A panel of judges will select the top 10 designs and post them on the contest website for fan voting, to be held from July 24 through Aug. 4. The winning image and the designer’s name will be announced Aug. 7. Along with his or her design on the shirt, the top vote-getter will also earn $1,000 and the opportunity for a VIP day at the races.

Del Mar racetrack 2013 season • Dates: July 17-Sept. 4 • Location: Via de la Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard • Post time: 2 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays; 4 p.m. Fridays; 1 p.m. Pacific Classic Day (Aug. 25), 2 p.m. Labor Day (Sept. 2) • Admission: $6 Stretch Run ($10 Opening Day); $10 Clubhouse ($20 Opening Day) • Parking: $10 • Information: (858) 7551141, (858) 793-5533; www. dmtc.com

Opening Day promises to be better than ever

Food for thought Besides the design contest, another new event this year is the Grill Fest on Aug. 17, which will showcase the talents of more than 25 seasoned barbecue masters. They will roast seafood, meat, vegetables and desserts, and people can sample five portions for $10. Also of interest for foodies is the return of the Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Aug. 3, with more than 50 trucks from around Southern California offering fare ranging from salads and spicy Cajun cuisine to desserts. In addition, free chili samples will be distributed in the infield that day as part of the Western Regional Chili Cookoff and Salsa Contest. Grown-up fun The Beer Fests are on tap again for 2013, and they will be bigger than ever. The first “fest” — slated for July 27 — will feature brews from more than 40 San Diego companies, including Ballast See RACING, Page B17

BY KELLEY CARLSON If there’s one sure bet this racing season, it’s that Del Mar’s Opening Day on July 17 will be filled with plenty of parties, haute headgear and handsome horses. Last year’s event brought a record crowd of 47,339, and attendance has increased for eight consecutive years. “We’d like to break another record,” with hopes for about 48,000 people, said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. “(Opening Day) keeps getting bigger and bigger,” and not just in terms of the number of people, he added. For instance, Bahr noted that this year’s Coors

Light Opening Day Party in the Seaside Concert area will be expanded. There will be live music from San Diego band Vokab Kompany, and DJs will spin tunes from the Red Bull Tour Bus Deck. In addition, there will be gourmet food trucks and a microbrew beer garden, and shaded seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Naturally, there will be opportunities to watch and wager on the races, and chances to win prizes and gift bags. Admission to the party is $30 per person.

Sublime Tavern opening at Polo Plaza this week, offers gourmet comfort food and craft beer

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Foodies, craft beer and wine lovers have a new local spot to frequent with the new Sublime Tavern. The new restaurant from James Limjoco of Sublime Ale House in San Marcos opened Wednesday, July 10, on the top level of the Polo Plaza on Via de la Valle (near the El Camino Real intersection), with a long patio view that looks out onto the San Diego Polo Club fields and stretches to the sea. Limjoco is a self-glossed “flavor hound” who has created a unique menu offering gourmet comfort food with an emphasis on local, fresh, high-quality ingredients. You’ll find dressed-up pizzas, burgers and mac n’ cheeses on the menu along with 55 craft beers on tap and 27 premium wines by the glass. “It’s unpretentious, approachable food brought to another level,” Limjoco said. He said besides being blown away by the view, he chose the intersection of Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe for his latest restaurant venture because it’s a great foodie area. “I think this is an area

Sublime Tavern is opening this week at Polo Plaza. where people know their flavors really well,” he said. Limjoco’s love of flavor and food started when he was in business school at Tulane University. He worked everywhere in the restaurant industry from line cook to front of the house. “It was the best, most creative time of my life,” Limjoco said. He set aside his passion for cooking and focused on his business career, to make a living for his wife and children. He worked as an account executive for JP Morgan Chase for 10 years but his mind never strayed far from the kitchen. “I realized after awhile and talking to my wife, it was time to chase my dream,” Limjoco said. In 2007, he started a small pizza place, Sublime Pizza in 4S Ranch, doing farm to table fresh food and serving up his creative macaroni and cheeses, grilled cheese sandwiches and pizzas. Limjoco decided he wanted to expand and include an aspect of San Diego that people

really love: craft beer. He opened Sublime Ale House in San Marcos in 2011. “Since the day we opened we were killing it, even in the middle of a recession,” Limjoco said. In his restaurants, the stress is on his food being fresh, which he said makes for the best flavors. There is no freezer at Sublime, everything “comes out of boxes that we have to shake the dirt off.” They bake their own bread, they grind their own meat. They make their pizza dough from poolish, an Old World, pre-ferment starter method Limjoco picked up from a French baker in San Francisco. It may take a little longer (18 hours) for the dough to be ready but it’s all about the flavor. He insists on importing Hawaiian pink sea salt for his burgers to make them taste just perfect. “Those little differences I think are what really sets us apart,” Limjoco said. On the menu will be items such as local grilled asparagus and crispy prosciutto, a “pretty incredible” charcuterie plate, lobster and andouille sausage gumbo, locally caught yellowtail and tasty salads like watermelon and arugula with heirloom tomatoes. There will be six different kinds of gourmet pizzas and macaroni and cheese. In a favorite, the Ecstasy Mac n’ Cheese, pasta is paired with Gorgonzola béchamel, applewood smoked bacon, wild mushroom, roasted pepper, garlic and thyme. “It comes with a Parmesan shell that you have to crack to get into it and it’s nice and gooey and warm inside,” Limjoco said. While pizza can look like the Get Figgy Wit It Pizza with figs, prosciutto, arugula, Parmesan with a balsamic glaze drizzle, Limjoco said they also do a great simple pepperoni pizza, something that soccer players finishing up practice across the street at the polo fields might come on over and enjoy with their families. Limjoco has always written his own menus but has

New Solana Beach eatery keeping it real for diners BY KELLEY CARLSON hen deciding on a concept for their new restaurant in Solana Beach, brothers Mark and Colin Urquhart said they wanted to provide a “real” experience for customers: fresh and authentic fare sourced locally, served with a smile. In January, they opened Real Food & Spirits and welcomed the community to experience a diverse menu in a casual, vintage urban setting. It’s easy for patrons to start salivating the moment they walk through the door — immediately to the right is a glass case with 18 flavors of creamy gelato, from traditional pistachio and panna cotta to the popular sea-salt caramel, served simply or as part of an affogato (drowned in coffee). But then the focus turns to the rest of the restaurant, which is transformed into a 1920s-style cafe through rich mahogany, moulding, a wood floor and double mirrors. The marble-topped main bar is often a social gathering spot for mini parties of friends or a place to make new acquaintances. Families favor sitting at the adjacent pizza bar, where they can watch the pies being tossed, topped and then baked in a woodfired Italian oven. Children are given their own balls of dough to shape, and parents are still able to take advantage of happy hour. From the booths and tables in the main dining area, guests have a view of the entire establishment, thanks to the mirrored wall. Mixed in with the sounds of chatter is music that ranges from contemporary/easy listening to big band. Furthermore, there is a large overhead screen that silently plays

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week’s recipe:

Real Food’s Smoked Mozzarella and Shiitake Mushroom Pizza black-and-white movies, from slapstick comedies to classic films. “It’s like dinner and a show,” Mark Urquhart said. Occasionally, patrons are treated to a realtime sunset, perfectly coordinated with the actual event, filmed from various vantage points around San Diego. The daytime fare is casual and quick, designed for the person on the go. Along with burgers, salads and sandwiches, there’s the Salzini, a cross between a salad, pizza and a panini. It comes in two varieties: Moroccan Shrimp or Chicken Caesar. Dinnertime becomes cozy, as the lights dim and the menu offerings are more sophisticated. A former editor of Bon Appétit, who is a family friend, created the salad recipes.

Guests can dine at tables or along the bar at Real Food & Spirits. Among the salad selections are chilled quinoa, flat-iron steak and the Israeli couscous. There are nearly 20 types of pizzas, in Napolitano and artisan styles; no oil or sugar is added to the hand-tossed thin crusts to help prevent burning. Traditionalists often lean toward the Margherita, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, sea salt and extra virgin olive oil. A recommended pizza/wine pairing is the Italia — topped with asiago, mozzarella, gorgonzola, Parmigiano, thin slices of imported Prosciutto di Parma, house-made fig preserves and a balsamic reduction —

McAnuff directs UCSD alum’s ‘Sideways’ story for The Playhouse BY DIANA SAENGER When author Rex Pickett was a student at UC San Diego, he worked with La Jolla Playhouse Director Des McAnuff on several projects, but reportedly only dreamed he would one day return with his own play for the director. Pickett’s popular novel, “Sideways,” was made into a film in 2004, directed by Alexander Payne and starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. Nominated for five Oscars, the film earned more than 350 major awards. In the story, Miles, a frustrated novelist, and Jack, an unknown TV actor/ director, go away together through the Santa Ynez Valley wine country. It’s a guys’ getaway before Jack is to be married. What starts out as a fun celebration turns into a midlife crisis, where wine feeds their imagination, freedom and good intentions. As two women enter their journey, good intentions may just fly out the window. McAnuff said he’s excited to direct Pickett’s work at the Playhouse. Pickett graduated Summa Cum

ters have become iconic and the script combines a bunch of areas I’m interest in,” McAnuff said. “It’s a very contemporary story, and the landscape feels very Californian to me.” McAnuff described Miles (Patrick Breen) and Jack (Sean Allan Krill) as archetypal male characters. “You have the intellectual nerd, who is somewhat cerebral but is frozen emotionally. Then you have his friend, who is much more of a jock and impulsive, but with an open heart. In some ways they are polar opposites and opposites attract. You put them on the road in desperate situations where they each have their own demons, and that is the stuff of great comedy. “Miles and Jack, and Maya (Nadia Bowers) and Terra (Zöe Chao) as well, are in crisis we are all likely to face. My mother had a great way of personalizing the (stage) work she sees, including my own, in that the theater prepares us for some of the things we go through in life. I think that’s true.” McAnuff said he sees a connection to classic Amer-

ican literature in “Sideways.” “If you had to describe the quintessential American novel it would be a road novel like way back, like with ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ Rex is kind of plugged into that with a mythic quality. I believe these characters belong on stage. “Rex is a great wordsmith and we’ve expanded on words from the film. However, the play goes back to his book and draws on that language, too. This adventure is also a good excuse to get into some good California wine. “We want writers’ notes, in terms of performances, and Rex is very well informed about wine in particularly in the Santa Ynez Valley,” McAnuff continued. “So we’re going to draw on this information. I’m also working with Shirley Fishman, the Dramaturg and my colleague since 2001. We constantly feed ideas and responses back and forth every day because I can do what I want with the production, but if the play isn’t truly powerful, than the quality of the

Director Emeritus Des McAnuff will direct ‘Sideways,’ by Rex Pickett, in the Playhouse’s Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre. COURTESY PHOTO production suffers. So the writer is our greatest concern, and it’s always a truly collaborative effort.” McAnuff’s intuition about perspective projects have resulted in an impressive resume that includes being artistic director of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, director of Broadway productions like “Big River,” “The Who’s Tommy,” and “Jersey Boys,” and a legendary body of work at the La Jolla Playhouse, most recently “Yoshimi Battles

the Pink Robots.” His decision to direct “Sideways” seems just as promising. “Since we will all face some of things these characters face, “Sideways” is kind of cathartic, but there’s another dimension in that it’s a very funny evening,” McAnuff said. “The behavior of the characters is outrageous, so it’s a comedy that’s a little self-effacing — a way of adding some humor to distance us from our own problems.”

Lofty experiment part of 2013 SummerFest lineup BY DAVID L. CODDON Well known for bringing musicians and audiences together in interpersonal environments, SummerFest has a special treat in store for classical music lovers during the 2013 season that begins July 31. Two performances will be held on Aug. 9 at The Loft at UCSD, a casual space that seats about 150 on the fourth floor of the university’s Price Center East. SummerFest Music Director Cho-Liang Lin will emcee and also participate in a program of Bartok, Ives, Debussy, Villa-Lobos, Carter and Charles Wuorinen performed by guest artists including flutist Catherine Ransom Karoly, pianist Steven Lin, violinists Michelle Kim and Philippe Quint, and clarinetist Burt Hara. “The fundamental idea is to present a concert that is closer between the audience and the performer,” said Music Director Lin. “SummerFest is in principle already an intimate experience, but this one event that I am trying this summer takes away all the formalities. “The program itself is not a cotton candy kind of program. It’s all 20th Century, but each piece is short. It’s like a sampler. And I want

people to be right next to the performers. There’s a period before the concert where the musicians will be there, mingling with the audience.” The inspiration for the “Live @ The Loft” concert was in part the (Le) Poisson Rouge music and multimedia art cabaret in New York City, said Christopher Beach, president and artistic director of La Jolla Music Society, presenters of SummerFest. “They have been programming classical music in a much more intimate, casual setting,” he said. “It’s a great success. I wanted to give our audience a different way to hear classical music. The Loft is a perfect place.” Beach and Lin are equally excited about SummerFest 2013, the featured composer of which is Bach, perhaps the greatest figure of the baroque period. “There are three concerts (during the festival) based on Bach,” said Lin,

“but rather than having three concerts of all Bach — or even Bach and son — I decided to use Bach as a departure point and go further into Bach’s future and look at composers influenced by him. Every Bach program will involve some sort of lineage that gets passed down through history. The idea is not only to get an interesting look at this lineage but to enjoy the very beautiful music.” This dynamic can be experienced during the festival’s “Bach & Beyond” concerts Aug. 7, 14 and 21 at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Sherwood Auditorium in La Jolla, SummerFest’s principal venue. As usual, the SummerFest roster of guest artists is populated with notables. On Aug. 6, pianist Jonathan Biss will perform three pieces by Beethoven, with accompaniment by cellist Fred Sherry and violinist Joseph Swensen.

Beach praises Biss for his “deep musicality.” Aug. 20 brings the return to La Jolla of another pianist, 22-year-old Russian Daniil Trifonov. “We have a special relationship with him,” recounted Beach, who discovered Trifonov at St. Petersburg’s Tchaikovsky competition in 2011. “One of his very first concerts in America was in our Discovery series. He’s an old soul with this youthful passion.” At SummerFest, Trifonov will perform works by Schumann, with accompaniment by violinists Stephanie Jeong and David Chan, cellist Gary Hoffman and Richard O’Neill on viola. As for Cho-Liang Lin, “The first two concerts (of SummerFest) are very interesting for me. The opening night (‘Let’s Dance!’) is all about dance music through the ages, so we’re starting with German dances from Schubert through Stravinsky and Ravel. Most festivals tend to open with the tried and true, the war horses. It’s a calculated gamble that I hope people will find interesting and enjoyable.” Then there’s “Salieri’s Vienna” the next evening, Aug. 3. “We don’t hear Salieri’s music very much at all these days,” said Lin. “This pro-

gram is a microcosm of what Salieri would have heard in his own time in Vienna.” Antonio Salieri is known to many for being in the shadow of Mozart, but, said Lin, “Salieri was a respected musician. He taught both Schubert and Beethoven, and the works in the first half are all dedicated to Salieri.” “Salieri’s Vienna” will feature works by Salieri, Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven. “This program is the very core of chamber music,” said LJMS’s Beach. “There’s something for everyone.” SummerFest 2013 may be some classical music fans’ deepest immersion in baroque music, which Beach said is misunderstood. “A lot of people who don’t like it have the impression that it’s precious or boring,” he said. “They couldn’t be more wrong.” In fact, the evening of Aug. 13 should be anything but boring, when the Arcadian Academy conducted by Nicholas McGegan will perform works by Vivaldi, Handel, Purcell and others. “It’s our very first concert with baroque music played on period instruments,” said Lin. “It will be a new adventure for both me and for the audience.

Zany situations make for ‘Perfect Wedding’ at North Coast Rep BY DIANA SAENGER Summer is all about fun, and Matthew Wiener, director of “Perfect Wedding” at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT), said this comedy is definitely about fun. The audience is in for a night of traditional English bedroom farce with slamming doors, miscommunications, confusing identities, who slept with whom, and who loves whom and who doesn’t love them. “It’s silly fun and then … there’s the chambermaid,” Wiener said. Written by Robin Hawdon, the comedy takes place on what is supposed to be the wedding day for two lovebirds. An inner alarm rings when Bill (Christopher M. Williams) wakes up to find a strange woman next to him in the bed. He panics when he realizes his bride, Rachel (Amanda Schaar), could arrive any moment. Tom (Jason Maddy), the best man, quick on his feet, ushers the unknown girl into the bathroom. Quickly Tom decides to introduce her as his girlfriend. What happens when the real girlfriend shows up is just the beginning of an overflowing

barrel of laughs. Wiener is not new to directing locally or to comedies. He directed “Shipwrecked!” and “Lend Me a Tenor,” at NCRT, and more than 30 productions for Actors Theatres. This is his 18th season as Producing Artistic Director of Actors Theatre of Phoenix. Weiner said he adores farces, but admits they are not easy to pull off. “It’s hard is to create a farce because it’s a different type

of comedy than normal comedy,” he said. “Farce has its own set of rules and a certain wackiness to it. Usually, that comes from an outside pressure and is really about timing. In ‘Perfect Wedding,’ it’s a wedding day, so they need to fix things in an instant or there won’t be a wedding.” In addition to timing, Wiener said the plotting of a farce is extra complex, as well. “There are so many pieces that have to come together … ‘Perfect Wedding’ has many twists and then there’s the mother (Linda Van Zandt). She’s a disruptive force that must be dealt with. In a farce, a group of unusual people is faced with incredible obstacles that they have to solve in a very short time. How they do that becomes highly entertaining.” The skills for farce require precise talents that Wiener said he was delighted to find in his cast, which includes Brenda Hogan (Judy) and Kerry McCue (Julie). There’s a lot of timing to get right, along with a lot of tight choreography and being able to deliver very quick dialogue.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Your Family Matters: Building self-reliance in children BY DR. KEITH KANNER Virtue, developmental milestone, or perhaps the single most valuable human trait, self-reliance is about the capacity to self-care. Once a child has achieved the notion of existing independently Dr. Keith Kanner from their caregivers, the optimal parenting position is to assist their child in learning how to transition from receiving and internalizing love and nurturance to applying this function to him or herself. This function is the bedrock of self-esteem and true autonomy. Each stage of a child’s development comes with age-appropriate, self-reliant tasks which, when achieved, pushes that child forward in their individual development. As these tasks are mastered along various stages of development, the child then additionally feels stronger, confident, and less dependent on their parents to do things for them that they can do for themselves. Implicit in self-reliance, however, is the necessity of perseverance and parental encouragement which can often be difficult when children enjoy the benefits of being catered to by their parents. After all, who doesn’t like being nurtured, comforted and provided for? In fact, the conflict between seeking self-reliance versus remaining dependent or reliant on others is the core conflict in the development of children and teenagers alike. On the one hand, most teenagers want independence but, on the other hand, wish to be taken care of due to their discomfort with the multitude of changes and challenges facing them on a daily basis, lowering their already unstable self-esteem. Here, parents fall into their own conflicts over providing for their seemingly vulnerable child versus insisting on pushing them to work it out themselves with the parent as their mentor. How these conflicts are managed have a significant effect on how well the child will weather the throws of adolescence and for the teens how well they will endure the tasks of young adulthood. Parents who insist on their children to be self-reliant for their particular age tend to produce healthier offspring than those who continue to placate their children by doing

too much for them. In fact, the extreme cases of parents failing to hold their kids responsible for self-care invariably creates a sense of ongoing dependency in the children on their parents, which leaves the children feeling angry and needy. If this pattern continues through high school, the then collegebound young adult does not feel or perform independently enough to successfully function well enough away from home. Parents can help their children develop a healthy sense of self-reliance by both encouraging and insisting that their child performs tasks that they can functionally master at each age. Take toilet training, for example. If parents did not insist that their toddler stop wearing diapers and use the toilet, most children would remain in diapers and then pull-ups far beyond what their body is capable of managing. Here, the initially resistant toddler refuses to use the toilet but when the toddler finally does he or she feels like a bigger boy or girl, enhancing their development and growth. Vitally, the parent must tolerate their child’s potential complaining and even regressing when placed in the position of self-care, but once the child can witness their own success, a new level of self-reliant achievement and esteem is reached and the child actually becomes less anxious, more mature, and even more respectful. Self-reliance is a virtue that is additionally needed for a child to be able to care for others and is an achievement that children can additionally teach to their peers. Recognizing one’s internal strength and practicing this attribute leads to a high functioning and helpful individual. 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 Investigator

Due diligence investigation This column, which is written by investigator RW “Pete” Peterson discusses issues and cases related to investigations and investigative services, and appears about once a month in this newspaper.

BY RW “PETE” PETERSON Over the years at Peterson Investigative we have conducted many types of investigations of background history of individuals for employment, business investments and partnerships and for personal relationships. We have uncovered fake RW “Pete” Peterson preachers, bogus foreign diplomats, pretend princes, fraudulent multimillionaires, scam doctors and many other categories. Many times when a client comes to us they really “can’t handle the truth” and are hesitant to investigate because the truth may make them look gullible or stupid. In one case a preacher with a small church was placing personal ads using an alias and representing himself as a doctor. He had a fairly elaborate alter-identity constructed with an answering service and associates who would give him references and confirm his story. He used a laptop that he paid cash for and registered the IP address to his fake name. He would only go online at Starbucks or other free wi-fi spots. He also used a prepaid cell phone with a Beverly Hills area code. He was traveling the country and bilking women out of money. He preyed on older, lonely women and somehow got them to pick up travel expenses, etc. He also got two of them to donate approximately $30,000. to his non-existent “clinic for the homeless.” In another case we investigated a “wealthy businessman” who had the trappings of success. He was house sitting a lavish estate in Newport Beach and would have his potential victims over for dinner or cocktails. He had access to the 52-foot yacht that the real owners had entrusted to him to maintain and he would also entertain there. He had a fairly elaborate cover

story, and the boat and property were held in a corporate entity that he claimed to be a part of. He was operating a Ponzi-type scheme. Our client lost $150,000 before they came to us and we unraveled his scheme. Fortunately they are very wealthy and the money wasn’t very significant to them. He currently is residing in Spain under an assumed name. Our client, for reasons of their own, chose not to prosecute. In another case we had a nanny who was applying for a position with our longtime client. She was using one of her three married names. It took locating a former employer, who she hadn’t listed in her fake references, to find out that she had been convicted of theft several times under one of her AKA’s (also known as). Two of her “good” references turned out to be relatives. Her case was complicated by the fact that she had resided in seven states. Background investigations can be conducted online through various services but they are very limited and will only show public record information that the subject knows is generally available. Human resources departments won’t give you much information and most people are afraid of being subjected to lawsuits if they divulge negative information about someone. Getting accurate history of an individual can take considerable research, especially if they are older and have lived in numerous locations. Some of this can be done with generic online searches but you will probably only get “the tip of the iceberg.” Court records will only show convictions and can be expunged. Sometimes it takes some legwork to locate people who actually have information and even then you have to get them to share it. Don’t think that online dating sites, even the better ones, have thoroughly screened that person. Investigate before you invest. If you are investing don’t be in a hurry and do your due diligence or have a professional do it. It’s worth repeating — if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. RW “Pete” Peterson has operated his investigative firm for 30-plus years. He can be reached at 760-443-0575; www.RWPeterson. com.

Bacon craze sizzles, resulting in some unlikely dishes The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Bringing home the bacon Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chanel No. 5 to the culinary world; fried bacon perfumes a room like no other food. Traditional and trendy at the same time, bacon continues to pop up in foods youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never imagine having even a nodding acquaintance with it! Think Ben and Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bacon Bacon ice cream, baconnaise and cupcakes. These days, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re vegan, cholesterolconscious or kosher, you can still enjoy the essence of beloved bacon in the guise of alternatives. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with the genuine article

The ancient Chinese lay a solid claim to the creation of bacon as they started salting pork bellies around 1500 B.C. Today in the United States, 2 billion pounds of bacon are produced yearly, which translates to 43 billion slices, and nearly 18 pounds per person. Yorkshire and Tamworth pigs are specifically bred for making bacon, with different cuts used for preparing assorted styles of bacon. The popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;streakyâ&#x20AC;? American-style bacon comes from the pork belly. The side cut is a meatier, less fat version than the belly cut, while back cuts include the fatback (almost a pure slab of fat), and the lean rib-eye loin, known as Canadian-style or back bacon that has a ham-like taste and texture. This is frequently coated with fine cornmeal called peameal bacon. Cottage bacon is lean shoulder cut oval slices, while jowl bacon is smoked pork cheeks. The continental pancetta is a pungentflavored Italian version of American â&#x20AC;&#x153;streaky.â&#x20AC;? Makinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bacon Bacon is typically cured with brine or a dry packing mixture, giving it a mother lode of sodium, nitrates and

nitrites with added flavors of hickory, maple, applewood, honey or mesquite. Baconphiles defend the food on the positive nutritional aspects being a highprotein source rife with stress-busting B vitamins, and immune-boosting zinc and selenium, as they sweep the high saturated fats, sodium and additives (which also have a reputation for triggering migraines) under the dinner table. Die-hard bacon traditionalists can now enjoy organic, low-sodium uncured varieties, free of hormones, antibiotics, nitrates and nitrates, both American- and Canadian-style. The bacon craze has swelled into a kitschy cottage industry of products from bacon-infused vodka and bourbon and bacon salt

to bacon peanut brittle and smoky bacon chocolate bars. It is a condiment, a side dish, a snack, an accessory, a topping (salads, sandwiches, soups and pizzas), a confection (bacon jelly beans, lollipops, gumballs), and a dessert. Bacon is wrapped around meatloaf, hot dogs, scallops, burgers, hardboiled eggs, pickles, asparagus and more bacon. It is incorporated into sweet and savory sauces, stews and jams, dipped in chocolate, baked in muffins, cookies, pies and cakes, and used to flavor popcorn, potato chips, roasted nuts and other assorted munchies. If any of these get caught in your teeth, you can always use bacon-scented dental floss or bacon toothpaste to do the trick.

Mark your calendar Bacon Day is celebrated the Saturday before Labor Day (Aug. 31 this year), celebrity chef Bobby Flay has endorsed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bacon of the Month Club,â&#x20AC;? while food gurus have dubbed bacon the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? dessert ingredient. Now for those imposter bacon foods to satisfy the cravings of those with dietary, health or religious restrictions, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-fat turkey or chicken bacon made from chopped and reformed fowl, with goat, lamb or beef versions along with â&#x20AC;&#x153;macon,â&#x20AC;? a United Kingdom creation prepared from mutton. Finally, for vegans and vegetarians, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bacon bits or strips (aka veggie bacon, â&#x20AC;&#x153;vaconâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fakonâ&#x20AC;?) made from fermented soy. This protein-packed, highfiber, low-fat and cholesterolfree bacon alternative (with only 38 calories a slice), can be easily prepared at home by marinating and seasoning strips of tempeh and frying to a crunchy crisp. Italian-Style Cobb Salad (Serves 4) 1 head romaine lettuce (cut into strips) 1 head watercress, torn

into bite-size pieces 1/4 pound crisp, grilled pancetta, crumbled 1 pound cooked turkey or chicken breast, cubed 1 vine ripened tomato, diced 1 ripe but firm avocado, diced 3 hard-boiled eggs, whites and yolks separated, diced 1/4 pound goat cheese, crumbled 1/2 red onion, diced 1/4 cup vinaigrette dressing (recipe below) Ingredients for the dressing: 1/4 cup vinegar (champagne, red wine or balsamic) 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons spicy mustard Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Method: Blend the vinegar with the mustard.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

BY ASHLEY MACKIN For one night only, July 18, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego will screen the rarely-seen 1972 Jimi Hendrix film, “Rainbow Bridge,” as part of its Shore Thing summer program at 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. Of the film, La Jollan Melinda Merryweather said, “It’s for people who love surfing, people who love Hawaii, people who love the ’60s and people who love Hendrix.” Merryweather was in the film and helped with the art direction. She called the music scenes, “the best Hendrix concert footage ever filmed” and compared the project to reality television in that none of the dialogue was scripted and people are shown talking about the hot topics of the day — psychedelics, vegetarianism, healing and spaceships. As art director, Merryweather said she wanted to make a film combining the New Age discussions she was witnessing with a surf film set to Jimi Hendrix music. She said Hendrix’s manager loved the idea, and that Hendrix wanted to shoot it in Hawaii. “He loved being in Hawaii and playing there,” Merryweather said, noting that the concert footage included a “color-vibratorysound experiment,” where the notes Hendrix played are represented by different colors. The concert was one of Hendrix’s last in America, and Merryweather said he knew that would be the case. “He just knew he wasn’t going to be in his body anymore, he knew he was leaving,” she said, citing a scene in the movie where Hendrix says as much. Three months after the Hawaii concert (on Sept. 18, 1970), Hendrix died in London.

La Jollan Melinda Merryweather, pictured here at the time of the filming, can be seen in ‘Rainbow Bridge.’ COURTESY

If you go What: “Rainbow Bridge,” part of Shore Thing program When: 5 p.m. Thursday, July 18 Where: Sherwood Auditorium, Museum of Contemporary Art, 700 Prospect St. La Jolla Cost: Free Contact: (858) 4543541 Web: mcasd.org/ events/shore-thing-0

Those interested can view the film for free during the Shore Thing event, said MCASD Chief Curator Kathryn Kanjo. “ ‘Rainbow Bridge’ is a film that occupies a cultural history in our minds. Not many people have seen it because it doesn’t screen regularly, so (Shore Thing) provides a unique opportunity to see it,” Kanjo said, adding the film could not be a better fit for the current exhibition at the museum, “Approximately Infinite Universe,” on display through Sept. 1.

“Time and space travel is one of the themes of the exhibition,” she said, “so it’s a nice riff on what we already have happening in the gallery. The artists are using science fiction as a metaphor to imagine other worlds and this Jimi Hendrix film is about enlightenment, transcendence and going to other places … through listening to music or being one with nature.” MCASD’s Shore Thing events run 5-8 p.m. nearly every Thursday through Aug. 29. Guests may tour the galleries, enjoy cocktails with friends (cash bar), watch the sun set from the terrace, and picnic in the Sculpture Garden. Several food trucks will be parked at the Museum, and some evenings will also include tours, music from a band or DJ, films, artist talks, and hands-on creative workshops. There is no additional cost to the program outside the $5 and $10 admission rates. The third Thursday evening of every month continues to feature free admission as part of the Museum’s ongoing Free Third Thursday Evenings.

TAVERN continued from page B3 brought on Executive Chef Josh Richardi, the former sous chef at Roppangi Restaurant and Sushi Bar. Together they have collaborated on some new comfort classics and with Richardi in the kitchen, Limjoco can focus more on the front of the house, which is where he most loves to be. Of the 55 craft beers on tap, some of the top breweries in San Diego have dreamed up some specialty brews exclusively for Sublime. Mother Earth has partnered with Sublime on a Belgian IPA called Alpha Ferrier; Rip Current has created a “malty, sweet and carmelly” Scotch 80 and the collaboration with Belching Beaver has produced Racetrack Red, a Belgian hoppy amber. All will have their debuts with the opening this week. New to this Sublime location, Limjoco is also introducing a wine element, having splurged on a wine preservation unit behind the bar that will allow him to offer glasses from highend bottles. Limjoco hand-selected the wine list. “There’s not even a mediocre wine on that list, I think they’re all outstanding,” he said. Tavern will have names such as Gaja, Quintessa, Silver Oak, Louis Roderer Cristal, Opus One and Cakebread at prices that he promises aren’t seen around the area.

He guests will have the opportunity to try wines they might have never had a chance to before, like a Nickel & Nickel reserve cab by the glass. He already has several wine dinners set up and plans to offer one every couple of weeks. Limjoco recently sold the small Sublime Pizza in 4S Ranch and is now focused on his two bigger restaurants — the Via de la Valle location being his biggest at 7,000 square feet. Great care was taken in the look of his restaurant —there’s lots of wood in the custom-made tables, the round log cutouts in the wall and portions of the wall are actually pieces of kegs that in a former life aged the cult beer Black Tuesday. Chasing the dream has been fulfilling for Limjoco and his pride in his product is unmistakable. “My favorite part about owning a restaurant is when I walk around and see people enjoying a meal with their friends. Maybe someone is visiting from out of town and they’re showing them their spot or they’re celebrating a birthday…they chose my place,” Limjoco said. “It’s an honor and it’s really cool. I tell my servers, they chose us, let’s show them a great time.” For now, Sublime Tavern will be open for dinner from 4-11 p.m. all week. Eventually they hope to add weekend lunches. For more information, visit sublimetavern.com.

RACING continued from page B1 Point, Green Flash, The Lost Abbey, Monkey Paw and Stone Brewing. The second “fest,” on Aug. 31, will highlight more than 40 IPA beers. People can buy five 7-ounce samples for $17, or full-sized beers. “These will be the best beer festivals Del Mar has ever held,” Bahr said. “We’ve never had this many really good beers on hand before, and it will be a true beer fan’s delight. All together, we will have more than 100 craft brews available.

“It’s not just for people to come to the races and order beers,” he added. “It attracts beer connoisseurs.” And once again, there will be concerts on the Seaside Stage at the west end of the grandstand. A dozen performances are lined up — including two special Latin shows — to be held on Fridays and the occasional Saturday and Sunday throughout the season. Admission is free with paid racetrack admission, but it’s $20 for guests who arrive after the final race of the day. Family festivities Del Mar isn’t just for grown-ups — Family Week-

ends are back. Among the free offerings for children on Saturdays and Sundays are games and an inflatable obstacle course, pony rides, magic shows, stilt walkers, face painters, a caricature artist and an opportunity to meet the Del Mar mascot, “Pony Boy.” And July 21 will be a “super-sized” Family Day with four times the regular activities, a Webkinz plush horse giveaway and Jockey Photo Day. Other returning favorites that are fun for all ages include Donuts at Del Mar, where fans can enjoy free doughnuts, orange juice and coffee while watching workouts and listening to

RACING continued from page B17 breakfast and listening to industry tips from Jeff Bloom, a former jockey who is now an owner and stable manager. Serious horse fans who want to become more involved in the sport are welcome to participate in the Paddock Sale after the races on July 21. Barretts Equine Limited will conduct the auction, and is expected to offer about 40 thoroughbreds of all ages that are “race-ready.” The equines will be from out of state and eligible to run in Del Mar’s “Ship and Win” program, which pays a $1,000 starter bonus, plus an additional 33 1/3 percent payment on top of purse monies earned in their initial start. Two of the 25 horses sold last year — Nechez Dawn and I Dazzle — went on to become stakes winners in California. Nechez Dawn won the Daisycutter Handicap at Del Mar within weeks of her purchase, and I Dazzle was victorious in the American Beauty Stakes at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia in April. A new owners seminar is planned from 9 to 11 a.m. July 21 in the track’s Veranda Café overlooking the paddock; reservations can be made at (626) 574-6620 or www.toconline.com. Prospective buyers are also encouraged to research ownership through The Jockey Club’s website at www.ownerview.com/.

“We know of at least three brand-new owners who bought in for the first time at last year’s sale,” Barretts General Manager Kim Lloyd said in a news release. “We think others might have come on board, too. New owners are the real key for us with this sale. If we can develop new owners, we’ll have a real impact over the years.” Other happenings Additional events this season include the Miss Cougar Del Mar contest on July 26, giveaways (a fullsize cooler on Aug. 10 and a free cap for Diamond Club members on Labor Day, Sept. 2), and Closing Day (Sept. 4) festivities. People who are looking for helpful hints and tips on betting may attend the free Newcomers’ Seminars and Weekend Handicapping Seminars. Tips for saving money Those who want to experience Del Mar on a budget can take advantage of “Free & Easy Wednesdays.” It’s exclusively for Diamond Club members, who will receive free admission, a free seat in the Stretch Run area, a free program, 50 percent off hot dogs, and a 50 percent discount

on 16-ounce domestic draft beers and/or soft drinks every Wednesday except Opening Day.

OPENING continued from page B1 lous Hats Contest,” which typically draws an array of entries that range from fine and frilly to downright silly. This year’s categories are Most Glamorous; Best Racing Theme; Funniest/Most Outrageous; Best Flowers/All Others; and Best Fascinator. Because the fascinator category was so well-received last year, it has been expanded to include secondand third-place prizes this season. “Each year, more women and men wear hats to make a fashion statement — and not just on Opening Day,” said Julie Sarno in a news release, who has been involved with the contest since its beginning and again will serve as its coordinator. “The Opening Day hats are the most fun and over the top, but any day of the race meet, one sees men wearing fedoras and women wearing fascinators and hats to complete their outfits.” She noted in an interview that hot pink again seems to be a hot color trend, along with black and

Local physical therapist helps people with heart and breathing problems improve quality of life

Komal Deokule PT, MSc. PT, CCS, MCSP, MPNZ, MIAP University, India, in 1992 and master’s from University College of London, Britain in 1999. She practiced in Britain and New Zealand before moving to the United States in 2007. In addition to her practice, she is an adjunct professor at the University of St. Augustine in San Marcos, where she teaches cardiopulmonary physical therapy. She opened her business in April of this year because she observed a gap in availability of outpatient services for cardiac care patients. She set out to offer comprehensive, evidencebased cardiovascular physical therapy for people who have experienced health issues, such as heart attacks, surgeries, stint implants and transplants. Deokule said her facility has a well-equipped gym with a treadmill, bike and

weight machines and stateof-the-art monitoring and testing equipment. A typical nine-week program involves whole-body strengthening to improve muscle weakness, and balance. Patients go to the facility for an hour and complete their exercise therapy on site with a goal to empower them with knowledge and techniques that they can continue to use in their everyday lives. Based on findings from her initial evaluation, Deokule develops individualized exercise prescriptions for patients to follow. The physical therapy plan that she develops depends on the patient’s cardiac state and issues, as well as comorbidities, but typically includes circuit training of alternate upper and lower limbs, she said. “Basically it’s balance, strength and endurance training that we offer to our cardiac patients and it’s all monitored” Deokule said. While at the clinic, patients wear a heart rate monitor to ensure they exercise at the optimal, beneficial rate. At the same time they are getting attuned with their perception of exertion. “Then when they go out into the community, they know exactly how to exercise,” Deokule said. Her program includes

BY CATHERINE KOLONKO A local woman has set up a new physical therapy facility designed to help people with heart and breathing troubles improve their mobility and quality of life. Vital Physical Therapy Practice in Mission Valley includes cardiac services as well as pulmonary physical therapy for people with breathing difficulties, said owner Komal Deokule, who lives locally with her husband and two children. “Basically it’s a niche outpatient, physical therapy practice that specializes in cardio vascular, pulmonary patients,” explained Deokule. Deokule also looks at comorbidities of her patients, such as diabetes, balance issues, and aches and pains associated with muscular skeletal problems. “When these patients come to us we give them a complete evaluation of all their problems.” Deokule is a board certified cardiopulmonary clinical specialist physical therapist. She has two decades of experience in her field and received her U.S. board certification last year from the American Physical Therapy Association. She earned a bachelor of physiotherapy from Maharaja Sayairao

Rancho Santa Fe Review

he setting for the most recent Ranch on the Road was held at the home of Lora and Bob Sandroni in Santaluz on May 16 in conjunction with Rancho La Puerta. Lora’s first visit to the Ranch was more than 25 years ago and she most recently made plans for number 29. This was an occasion to share a taste of the Ranch with her friends and to celebrate the Ranch’s 73-year history of being a modern day fitness and spa resort for San Diegans. Guests were joined by the Ranch team, including the executive chef, the director of the spa, and the fitness director. Guests were treated to a cooking demonstration accompanied by a sampling of signature seasonal Ranch cuisine, spa treatments, and tips and fitness activities. In addition, guests caught up on the latest health and wellness practices. For more information, visit www.rancholapuerta.com

quality of life questionnaires before and after the program that enables her to evaluate a patient’s progress. “That way we know exactly what outcome we have.” Patients come to the practice through doctor referral or on their own because they want to do more to recover from an acute cardiac event such as a heart attack, she said. Often patients have diabetes or other additional health concerns that need to be considered along with the heart condition. Deokule works closely with healthcare professionals involved with her patients to ensure continuity. She noted that in California a physician referral is required before a patient can start cardio physical therapy. “If there has been an acute event, then they can go to the doctor get a referral and come to us,” she said. If a patient wants to go to Deokule for health maintenance, insurance typically will not cover the cost. In that case, a cash-based program that cost roughly $1,800 for nine weeks of twice weekly visits including initial and final assessments and testing. Pulmonary physical therapy for patients with breathing problems as a result of asthma, cardio ob-

structive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic heart failure is another service that Deokule offers at her facility. Through supervised monitored therapeutic exercises patients increase exercise tolerance and learn different techniques to help them breathe better, she said. In addition to the physical therapy, she instructs patients on relaxation techniques and educational sessions that cover different topics specific to their disease or condition. The relaxation techniques are aimed at reducing psychological stress, a key risk factor for coronary artery disease, she said. Exercise therapy also targets other risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, high cholesterol, and physical inactivity, Deokule said. “When they are finished with the program they have all the tools that they can use to continue the long-term health benefit,” Deokule said. The practice is located at 5353 Mission Center Road, Suite 120, San Diego, 92108. For more information, call 858-255-7976 or email: info@vitalphysicaltherapy.com

“Cade” is the Pet of the Week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. He’s a 3-year-old, 11-pound, Spaniel/Terrier mix. If you’re looking for a real “family dog,” this could be the dog you’re looking for. Cade is a go-anywhere, do-anything kind of guy. Even though he’s 3 years old, Cade still has a lot of puppy playfulness. He’s sharing a kennel with another dog and you can see that he enjoys having a buddy. Cade’s previous family told RCHS that they couldn’t afford to keep him. The $145 adoption fee for Cade includes his medical exam, up-to-date vaccinations, neuter, and microchip identification. Adopt Cade or sponsor him until his new family takes him home. Call 760-753-6413; log on to SDpets.org; or visit
