Delinquent Rancho Santa Fe Association assessment numbers down BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association approved placing liens on five Covenant property owners who are delinquent on the second installment of their 2012-13 assessments. The number of delinquencies had been as high as 20, but the finance department’s collection efforts have brought that down to five. Only one lien of the 13 parcels that were delinquent on their first installment remains. “These five overall brings our lost revenue below 1 percent for the entire year for the Association,” said Steve Comstock, chief financial officer. Comstock said that the numbers of delinquencies has “diminished substantially” since they have started placing liens bi-annually. In March the RSF Association approved a formal collections policy for pastdue assessments. See ASSESSMENT, page 26

Number of burglaries drop in Rancho Santa Fe Covenant BY KAREN BILLING Burglaries are down in the Covenant for the first six months of 2013, according to Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser’s semi-annual report. Wellhouser gave his report to the Rancho Santa Fe Association board on July 18, comparing this year’s 19 burglaries to the 31 committed last year over the same time span. Of the burglaries, three were residential, 12 commercial and four were vehicles. Wellhouser attributes the drop in burglary numbers to arrests of suspects who were likely responsible for a number of crimes in the area. Of the three residential burglaries this year, two have already been cleared by the suspects being arrested, Wellhouser said. Suspects used force to gain entry in 47 percent of the burglaries. “We like to tell everyone to lock their house, turn their alarm on and close their gates because they don’t,” Wellhouser said. “A lot of crimes can be prevented or deterred to a certain degree if people just lock their doors, turn on their alarms and make their house look like it’s lived in.” Since January, the Patrol has responded to 2,335 calls for assistance, reflecting an 18 percent increase from the same period. The Patrol officers also completed 17,122 security and vacation checks for members, up from 15,485 the See BURGLARIES, page 26

‘Taste of Rancho Santa Fe’

Sports fields to re-open in August BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Sports Fields have been closed for repair work but will re-open on Aug. 4, according to Rancho Santa Fe Association Director Jerry Yahr, the liaison for the trails and recreation committee. “The field is looking great,” Yahr said. “I think it’s going to be very good for all athletic programs in the Ranch.” Yahr said trail improvements are also being done in front of the fields, creating a larger asphalt apron to make entry easier for people, as well as aesthetically enhancing that section of Rambla de las Flores.

RSF Association approves funds for CHP programs

Frontline: Cancer

BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved its annual contribution toward the California Highway Patrol’s Senior Volunteer Patrol program and the Explorers program, which provides experience and training for youth for potential careers in law enforcement. At its July 18 meeting, the board voted to give $4,000 to the SVP program and $3,000 toward the Explorers. The Association has provided funding to both programs since 1999 and as Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Chief Matt Wellhouser said, they provide a direct benefit to the community and help fill in the gaps, such as recently providing extra help at the July 4 parade. “You’re the lifeblood of our organization,” said SVP Captain John Green who leads a crew of 40 volunteers, all over age 55 and from different backgrounds. “We get no financial support from the state so if it wasn’t for you, we probably wouldn’t be in business.” The Oceanside CHP’s Explorer post has about 20 young adults between the ages of 15 and 20 who have made a commitment to donating their time to public service. “We have a really great group of kids right now who have been working really, really hard,” said Officer LaDonna Palega. The Explorers go on ride-alongs, help out at community events, participate in competitions and go through a mini cadet training at the CHP Academy. “It’s my dream to be a CHP officer,” Explorer Carlos Lucas told the board. “It’s really fun…I’m trying to help out as much as I can.”

The courage to ask questions

Road repaving to take place on La Noria in RSF BY KAREN BILLING On Monday, July 29, the county will begin work on repaving La Noria in the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant. The repaving project was a nice summer surprise for the Association, according to RSF Association Assistant Manager Ivan Holler, as the project will be completed a year ahead of when it was anticipated. La Noria will be paved from La Bajada to 1,000 feet south of El Nido on El Camino Real, approximately 2.4 miles. The project will begin with grinding the existing asphalt surface, followed by a two-inch overlay of rubberized asphalt. Work will begin on the north end and progress south. “Residents will experience some delays but it should be fairly minor,” Holler said.

BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN Think of a very serious cancer. You can reduce the risk of that cancer to almost zero, but to do so, you must undergo major surgery. Now imagine that a very good genetic test exists that can determine your risk for that cancer and help you decide whether to pursue the riskreducing surgery. Would you take the test? Actress and celebrity Angelina Jolie did. She tested positive for the BRCA1 gene and underwent a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer. She also announced plans to undergo an oophorectomy, or removal of her ovaries, to reduce the high risk of ovarian cancer associated with BRCA1. Her actions have prompted new questions and conversations about genetic testing for cancer risk. The recent headlines focused on Ms. Jolie’s surgery, reconstruction and recovery, but her story has an equally important message for all of us: Know your family history of cancer. Ms. Jolie had genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 because of a strong family history

Dr. Scott Lippman of ovarian and breast cancer. Her mother succumbed in 2007 to ovarian cancer; an aunt died of breast cancer just two weeks after the actress announced her surgeries. Genetic testing for cancer risk, however, isn’t for everyone. It’s for people in families with a measurable predisposition to cancer. Genetic testing is a very personalized way to sort out which family members have a high cancer risk, and what they can do about it. Experts who conduct genetic testing are called genetic counselors. Their goal for families at high risk is to steer them toward cancer prevention and early detec-

tion. Prevention and detection experts then figure out what cancer screening tests or procedures are appropriate, considering factors like a person’s age, which gene is increasing his or her cancer risk, and what other medical issues may be involved. For example, options for women who test positive for BRCA1/2 may include mastectomies and reconstruction, as Ms. Jolie chose, which reduces the risk of breast cancer as much as possible. Alternatively, many women opt for increased monitoring for indications of disease by adding a breast MRI to yearly mammograms. Like deciding to get tested for genetic cancer risk, these options take courage, too. It’s tougher to deal with the risk of ovarian cancer in BRCA1/2-positive women. There is no accurate current test to detect ovarian cancer at an early stage, so most of these at-risk women have their ovaries removed when no longer wishing to bear children, as they approach menopause.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local father-sons writing team publishes second book BY KRISTINA HOUCK To share his love of fantasy with his then 5- and 7-yearold sons, local resident Henry Herz wrote a book. He didn’t anticipate his sons to name some of the characters and suggest plotlines. “Over time, they gave me some feedback,” Henry said. “What I thought was just going to be, ‘Hey, let’s get them interested in reading,’ turned into a collaboration.” At the suggestion of family members, Henry and his sons published “Nimpentoad” in 2011. The early chapter book tells the story of Nimpentoad, who leads his fellow Niblings through the Grunwald Forest, overcoming obstacles and encountering strange creatures along the way. “That started us down a long path of finding the artist, getting the artwork done and publishing the book,” said Henry, a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators. “It’s been very well received.” Not long after “Nimpentoad” was published, Henry, Josh, 13, and Harrison, 11, began working on their second book, “Twignibble.” Aimed at second, third and fourth graders, the 1,000-word easy reader was published in June. “Twignibble” is a conservation-themed book about a sloth that helps his animal friends when faced with threats to their habitats. “A lot of kids grow up not really knowing about the environment,” said Harrison, a sixth grader at Ocean Air Elementary. “They can do a lot of things that pollute and kill a lot of animals. This is getting the word out to people that you shouldn’t pollute.” Although self-publishing was “much smoother the second time around,” Henry said it’s still a lot of work to write, illustrate, self-publish and promote a book. The Herz family is set to sign copies of “Twignibble” during a book release party on Aug. 4 at Mysterious Galaxy. In addition, Henry and his sons plan to promote the book at local bookstores, farmers markets, libraries and schools like they did with “Nimpentoad.” “We’re our own editors, art directors and promoters,” said Henry, a self-employed management consultant. “We

L-R: Josh Herz, Henry Herz and Harrison Herz. Courtesy photo have to be involved in every aspect, which is good because it started as a way to get them interested in reading, and it turned into this huge development opportunity. “They’ve gotten so many skills from this, not just writing, but meeting new people, handling money, public speaking. It’s just been a great developmental project for us all.” Despite the long hours at book signings, readings and other promotional events, Henry said he enjoys working with his sons and writing books for children. “I did it initially just to interest my boys in reading fantasy. Then I realized how much I enjoyed the storytelling,” Henry said. “I like writing children’s books. For me, the juice is getting kids excited about reading and telling fantasy and science fiction stories to spark their creativity.” Josh, an eighth grade student, and a parkour enthusiast, said he’s enjoyed discovering and working with artists. “I’ve really liked working with the artists, seeing pic-

tures and telling what I liked and didn’t like,” Josh said. “I really like the art.” Harrison, a basketball fanatic, enjoyed meeting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar while promoting “Nimpentoad” at the Orange County Children’s Book Festival. The retired professional basketball player was at the festival signing copies of his children’s book, “What Color Is My World?” Harrison said he’s also appreciated the time he has spent with his co-authors. “I get to spend a lot of time with my dad and my brother,” said Harrison, who

plays basketball for the Carmel Valley Stingrays. “It’s also fun writing it and seeing other people enjoying it.” Henry hopes his creative journey with his sons inspire more children to write, whether or not they publish their stories. “We want to encourage kids to read and we want to encourage kids to write,” Henry said. “It’s got to start somewhere. Write a short story and submit it to magazines. You never know if it will get published, but just the process of writing is great to spark creative expression and to develop a skill that will serve you at almost any career you choose.” The book release party for “Twignibble” will take place on Aug. 4, from 2-4 p.m., at Mysterious Galaxy. The independent bookstore is located at 7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. in San Diego. For more information about Twignibble, visit www.twignibble.com.

Local screenwriter shares real online dating experience in first short film BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two people meet online and go on a date. Although the premise of “Rolling Romance” sounds familiar, the two main characters in this short film have muscular dystrophy. Written by local screenwriter Michael Carnick, “Rolling Romance” is a dark comedy about sex, drugs and disability. The 22-minute film, which was shot in 2012 in Los Angeles, was inspired by Carnick’s real experience with online dating. “The event was so surreal — two people in wheelchairs dating,” said 31-year-old Carnick. “It’s not something you see in movies, so I thought it would make a really good movie.” Born with a rare muscular dystrophy-like condition known as congenital fiber-type disproportion, much of Carnick’s work focuses on disability awareness and the experience of being a minority. “I wanted to get across the idea that people with disabilities are just like everybody else,” Carnick said. “We do go on dates, we have bad dates, we act stupid, we do drugs, we talk about sex and we act like [jerks].” Always a storyteller, Carnick discovered his passion for writing stage plays and screenplays after enrolling in a set design class at the University of California, San Diego. The class inspired him to change his major. “It’s a very visual storytelling as opposed to a book,” Carnick said. “You tell it with visuals, and I’ve always really enjoyed that.” In a screenwriting class, Carnick wrote “Who’s Driving Doug?”, a feature-length script that won first place at the 50th Anniversary Samuel Goldwyn Writing Awards. He was the first undergrad to receive the award. After graduating from UCSD, Carnick went on to get his MFA in creative writing for the performing arts from the University of California, Riverside. “Rolling Romance” follows Orson, portrayed by David Holt, and Janice, portrayed by Emily Goss, who meet online and go on a horrible, yet hilarious date. The film is produced by Melissa Harkness, whom Carnick met while they both were in the MFA program at UCR. The dark comedy was directed by David Conley, who used his own camera equipment to shoot the film, which was funded by Carnick’s family and more than $5,000 in donations from Kickstarter, an online funding platform. Carnick said he believes the project had 93 backers on Kickstarter because the topic is “universal.” “It touches people,” he said. “We’re all trying to find love, whatever color or shape we are.” A private screening of “Rolling Romance” took place at 6 p.m. on July 21 at La Paloma Theater in Encinitas. There

Michael Carnic

was a Q&A with select cast and crew after the screening. “It’s a good movie. I think people are going to like it,” Carnick said. “It’s a short movie, but it goes through a range of genres and emotions, from sad, to heartwarming to funny. I think you get a big experience out of it even though it’s a small investment of your time.” For more information about “Rolling Romance,” visit www.rollingromancefilm.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local resident’s special exhibition — ‘Zandra Rhodes: Unseen’ — launched in London BY DIANE WELCH The Fashion and Textile Museum (FTM) in Bermondsey, London brimmed over with guests who attended a VIP champagne reception on July 11, launching a special exhibition, “Zandra Rhodes: Unseen.� The color-drenched show brought into clarity Rhodes’ dramatic haute couture fashion career, which has spanned almost five decades. Curated by Dennis Nothdruft, the exhibition is also a celebration for the 10-year anniversary of FTM founded by Rhodes – who lives locally and in London – in May 2003. Rhodes first bought the building – which is now painted bright pink and orange – in 1995 and hired leading Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta to do the remodel. Three months in development, Rhodes had to hunt out individual pieces for the exhibition, she said. Rhodes’ workroom studio printed out the fabric designs that served as the backdrop for the collections and hours of footage of Rhodes’ fashion shows were transferred to DVD to show at the museum. Several of Rhodes’ lesser-known archived fashion creations were on display with her most recent collections and new lines of handbags, accessories, shoes and make-up. Hand-beaded dresses from the 1980s were pulled from archived trunks and private collections. Several of these designs were inspired by Rhodes’ landmark trip to India; natives hand-worked the exquisite embroidery and bead work that is as fresh today as it was almost 30 years ago. Rhodes’ line of punk-inspired garments from the Conceptual Chic Collection, with artfully-cut, slashed and safety-pinned details, were no less shocking than the 1977 launch which ensured Rhodes’ fame as the “Princess of Punk.� Several pieces of this collection are currently on display at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, said

Rhodes. Videos of Rhodes’ 1980 catwalk events, and vignette showcases of her conceptual “style bibles� and notebooks – never seen before publicly – were also exhibited, along with more recent garments from Rhodes’ 2012 Sketchbook Collection. At the reception, museum director Celia Joicey introduced Rhodes, flanked by fashion designer to the British royals David Sassoon and fashion jewelry designer Andrew Logan. Despite the over-sized joke scissors failing to cut the pink ribbon, the exhibition was officially opened and will run until Aug. 31. Photographer Barry Lategan, acclaimed for his fashion shots featured in Vogue, captured the evening’s event on film with his camera. The reception brought together many notable figures from London’s vibrant fashion scene, including interior and textile designer Sue Timney, actress Fenella Fielding and fine artist Duggie Fields, who commented that the show was “inspired, surprising, and varied,� and that Rhodes’ output “crossed cultures, trends, and tastes with an always unique and optimistic, colorful, vision.� Rhodes, 72, was animated, wearing a purple two-piece satin garment, Logan’s bold jewelry, and sporting her signature bubble-gum pink hair and theatrical makeup. “It was wonderful to be able to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the museum with this exhibition,� said Rhodes. The exhibition was very well presented visually, said guest Vicky Ogden, head of accessories and footwear, Pure London. “The excitement knowing that Zandra is launching her footwear and handbag range makes the journey complete.� Visit http://ftmlondon.org/ for information on the exhibition and the museum.

Waiting for your home’s value to go up could cost you $191,984.

Forgotten Del Mar Airport central to racetrack’s glamorous heyday BY ROB LEDONNE The biggest stars in Hollywood, the richest people in the country, and businesses so glamorous that they ignited a tremendous growth and interest in Southern California. That was Del Mar in the 1930s, a time of glitz and glamor thanks largely in part to the Del Mar Racetrack in its heyday. However, central to the racetrack’s exploding notoriety was an airport, long forgotten, located right in Del Mar. “We don’t know much about specifics,” explained Mac McBride, the director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “It was refereed to as the Del Mar Airport, and it was made up of a few hangers and a landing strip.” At one point in the 1930s, the airport ran multiple flights a day in and out of Burbank (now known as Bob Hope Airport,) on DC-3 planes operated by private airlines. One person who remembers the airport fondly is Bill Scherlis, who was the racetrack’s resident photographer from 1945 until the 1970s. Scherlis, who turns 90 this October, recalls that the airport was originally built by the United States Navy. “It was intended to be a pilot training facility. There was one at the Naval Air Station on North Island, but there was too much traffic so they constructed a few hangers and a concrete runway in Del Mar.” Referred to then as the San Dieguito Air Field, most estimates pin the airport’s construction to around the early 1920s, a few years after the 1917 opening of the Naval Air Station on North Island. It wasn’t until 1938 when the property was renamed the Del Mar Municipal Airfield, and turned over for racetrack use. The racetrack had only opened a year earlier. “The people that flew in and out of the airport were not regular people, you had to be very wealthy,” explained Scherlis. “You’d land there and then take cabs to the racetrack,” which was a few minutes away. At the time, horse racing was only second in popularity to baseball and Del Mar instantly became one of the trendiest places in the country. After the U.S. became involved in World War II in 1941, the country put fun and entertainment on hold and the racetrack, as

well as the airport, were used by the U.S. Military between 1942 and 1945. Parts for B-17 bombers were manufactured at the track, and the airport was used for blimp flights, housed up to 130 people in barracks, and became a home base for anti-submarine patrols around the Western United States. Once the war ended, the property was decommissioned once again; the racetrack and airport picked up right were they left off for civilian use. It was around this time that Scherlis remembers flying in and out of the airport himself. “I went up in a Cessna to take some aerial pictures of the fairgrounds,” he remembers. “It was interesting.” In the 1950s, flights between Del Mar and Burbank were $16 round trip and were operated by the former Pacific Southwest Airlines, then in its infancy. Del Mar was still attracting the biggest stars of the day, including (perhaps the track’s biggest fan) Bing Crosby, who Scherlis photographed on one of his very first assignments. “He was with (fellow movie star) Pat O’Brien. I went to take his picture, and Crosby looks at me and asks ‘What do you want me to do?’ I was floored, here’s the biggest star in the world asking me what to do,” he remembers with a laugh almost 70 years later. As time went by, the area slowly started to change as did popularity for the airport, which experienced its last summer season in 1959, closing that September. It was then partly demolished to make room for Interstate 5, which currently runs right through the property, southeast of the current fairgrounds and at the end of Grand Avenue. It wasn’t until 2006 when many of the remaining traces of the airport disappeared during the restoration of the San Dieguito Lagoon by Southern California Edison — a historical marker was then erected. Today, the only other surviving evidence of the airport is immortalized in a song by Bing Crosby himself. “It’s called “Where the Turf Meets the Surf,” and is now the racetrack’s theme song. McBride explains, “If you listen to the lyrics, at one point he sings ‘take a plane’ ... he’s referring to the airport.”

Veterans for peace seek donations to buy sleeping bags for homeless

Since 2010, the San Diego Veterans For Peace, the local chapter of the national 501-C-3 veterans educational organization, has been raising money and buying sleeping bag sets for homeless veterans and others on the streets in downtown San Diego. To date, 1,700 sets have been purchased and individually distributed by chapter veterans from all five services, who head downtown late at night with sleeping bags sets (a sleeping bag, a nylon stuff sack, and a poncho) and find those most in need who have no sleeping gear. Each $33 donated buys one set, in bulk and below wholesale cost from the Coleman Company. The veterans are seeking donations for the cause, and report that 100 percent of all donations go to purchase gear because there are no overhead or administrative expenses. Donations are tax deductible and each donor receives a card of thanks and a receipt for tax purposes. Donations may be made online at: www.SDVFP.org or checks may be mailed to: SDVFP, 12932 Sunderland Street, Poway, CA 92064. For more information, call (858) 342-1964 or visit www.SDVFP.org

Entrepreneur’s Surf-Grip functions as a ‘bodyboard for your hands’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local resident and entrepreneur Michael Sick developed a product he said beachgoers use surfer lingo — and his last name — to describe. “‘Sick’ was not always cool, but when people see this they say, ‘Oh man, that’s sick!’” he said. Sick describes the SurfGrip as a “bodyboard for your hands.” The lightweight foam paddle with a handle allows bodysurfers to have increased buoyancy and velocity when catching waves. “Not everybody can go to the beach every day, so when I go to the beach I want to have a good time regardless of what the waves are,” said Sick, 58.

A surfer uses the Surf-Grip. PHOTO/RON ROMANOSKY Tired of hauling bulky bodyboards during family trips to the beach, Sick, a father of four, longed for a more portable product that could be used to improve his bodysurfing ability. Using pool noodles and ski pole handles, the New York native experimented with several prototypes before the bodysurfing tool was manufactured in Southern California.

The Living is Easy

Sick has sold roughly 3,000 Surf-Grips since the product launched in 2009. “If you’ve got a bunch of kids, a cooler, umbrella, chairs and four bodyboards, these are a whole lot easier,” said Sick, who also heads Sick Consulting, a marketing and consulting firm. Also a fitness device, Sick noted Surf-Grippers can use one or two simultaneously when working out. “This is a way to get a little bit more active experience and really ride the waves rather than dodging the waves,” Sick said. Pacific Beach resident Trevor Moore learned about Surf-Grip from a friend three years ago. “I’ve never seen any-

Michael Sick and his daughter Jaclyn Ream with the Surf-Grip. COURTESY PHOTO thing like it before, so I was excited to use it,” said 23-yearold Moore. “It was something new and I was able to catch on quickly. I think it is going to become popular to all people whether they’re new to water sports or are experienced surfers and grew up in the water.” The Surf-Grip currently sells for $14.99 plus shipping online and is also available at Rusty Boardhouse in La Jolla, Green Room Surf Shop in Ocean Beach and Wind An Sea Surfboards in Mission Beach.

Inaugural Relay For Life of Del Mar fundraiser set for Aug. 17 Teams needed to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society. BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members will come together to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones and fight against cancer during the inaugural Relay For Life of Del Mar on Aug. 17 at Del Mar Heights Elementary School. During the event, participants will walk on the track around the clock to raise funds for the American Cancer Society to support patients, caregivers and survivors in treatment and recovery. “Nobody is immune to cancer,” said Nathan Clookie, senior manager of Relay For Life. “Everybody is touched by it. Everybody has a friend, family member or co-worker who’s currently battling, battled and beat, or lost the battle.” A melanoma survivor, Clookie is organizing Relay For Life of Del Mar because there isn’t a local event and the closest relays take place in La Jolla and Encinitas. Relay For Life launched in La Jolla in 1996 and Encinitas in 2005. “We’ve done Relay For Life events all over San Diego County,” said Clookie, who

pating in Relay For Life. “What I really like is that this is the first year,” Newman said. “Everybody is new to it. There is a learning curve for everybody. It’s an exciting opportunity.” While details are still being planned, community members can expect to celebrate local cancer survivors during the Survivors Lap at Relay For Life of Del Mar. Participants will also have an opportunity to decorate paper bags that will be lit at night to honor loved ones who have battled cancer, whether they have won or lost the fight. “No event is the same,” Clookie said. “We really want to build this one up

Relay For Life launched in La Jolla in 1996 and Encinitas in 2005. has worked for the American Cancer Society since 2010. “There’s a big gap between La Jolla and Encinitas where there’s no event. We like to have an event in each community, so each community can participate, celebrate their local cancer survivors and also raise money to fight against cancer.” About a dozen volunteers formed a committee in June to plan the event. The group hopes to recruit at least 15 teams and raise

$15,000, Clookie said. Three teams have registered for the 24-hour event so far. “We’re looking for people to form teams with friends, family and co-workers to come out and spend the night with us and fundraise,” Clookie said. “We’re also looking for volunteers who want to get their hands in event planning and take on one of our many committee roles.” In honor of her cousin who died from cancer, Carls-

bad resident Katie Newman is volunteering as a committee member and is leading the six-member Team Cabo. The 23-year-old sales representative hopes to raise at least $1,000. “It’s close to home for my family, and I just want to help however I can,” Newman said. Originally from London, Newman has lived with her late cousin’s family in Carlsbad for two years. This will be her first time partici-

to reflect Del Mar and be a place where cancer patients and their families, or families of those who have lost someone to cancer, can go and be with other people who have had similar experiences and fellowship with them.” Relay For Life of Del Mar begins at 10 a.m. on Aug. 17 at Del Mar Heights School located at 13555 Boquita Drive in Del Mar. For more information, and to donate or register online, visit www.relayforlife. org/delmarca. To inquire about volunteer opportunities, contact Clookie at 619606-4855 or nathan.clookie@cancer.org.

RSF Girl Scout Troop 1109 members bid fond farewell to a life-changing experience BY KRISTINA HOUCK Dr. Lori Rappaport’s daughter is headed to college in the fall, but she has to say goodbye to more than one graduate. The Rancho Santa Fe resident and Girl Scouts troop leader recently hosted the final meeting of Troop 1109. Seven of the troop members recently graduated high school. Two of them graduated last year and have completed their first year in college. Most of the members have been Girl Scouts since they were in kindergarten. “There’s something about watching them grow up from kindergarten and seeing those shy, indecisive, nervous girls become so confident and so organized,” said Rappaport, a licensed clinical psychologist and former board member for Girl Scouts’ San Diego-Imperial Council. “I enjoy these girls so much. They’re just great girls. It’s going to be very odd not to have a troop.” From backpacking adventures to movie nights, to trips to Disneyland and San Francisco, Troop 1109 has participated in a variety of social activities. But it was community service projects that the girls really enjoyed, Rappaport said. “It was something that they all felt really passionate about and were happy to do,” Rappaport said. “It wasn’t a ‘check the box, this will look good for college thing.’” For three years, the troop organized drives for clothing and toiletries for the homeless at St. Vincent de Paul Village. The scouts also enjoyed being mentors and often ran themed encampments for younger girls. From volunteering at local hospitals to feeding the homeless at local shelters, most of the girls also participated in community service activities outside of Girl Scouts. Through service-oriented projects, the entire troop earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout Junior can achieve, and the Girl Scout Silver Award, the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can obtain. To earn the Girl Scout Silver Award, the troop worked with the Women’s Resource Center in Oceanside, which provides counseling, shelter and education for North San Diego County women, children and men involved in or threatened by domestic violence or sexual assault. For about two years, the girls held themed birthday parties every month for the children at the center’s 21-unit transitional living facility. The troop brought birthday gifts and party supplies. They also held drives and donated household and school supplies for the families. “When you live in Rancho Santa Fe, you don’t really see life as life is,” said 18-year-old Isabella “Izzy” Leung, who graduated from The Bishop’s School and plans to study English and photography at Bard College. “It’s a very sheltered area.” “I just feel so fortunate to have grown up where I’ve grown up, and to have had all the opportunities I’ve had,” said 18-year-old Rachel Marren, who graduated from Canyon Crest Academy and is headed to Rice University to study biology. “I know there’s so many people out there who

Troop 1109: L-R: Celeste Calderon, Tessa Gruen, Izzy Leung, Rachel Barrales, Rachel Marren, Kristen Weller, Milan Ingwell and Malia Rappaport. Not Pictured: Clara Belitz. haven’t had all that. I like doing a little something to make people’s day brighter.” Three of the girls also earned the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. Marren renovated the general store at Seacrest Village Retirement Communities in Encinitas. Because many residents cannot drive, the shop is the only place where they can purchase items on short notice. Marren coordinated volunteers to organize merchandise and helped employees manage inventory. The new general store gives seniors immediate access to products and increases the shop’s potential profitability. “It was really cool experience,” said Marren, who has also volunteered roughly 300 hours in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Sharp

Collecting Girl Scouts cookies a few years ago: L-R: Izzy Leung, Malia Rappaport, Tessa Gruen. Memorial Hospital. “I thought I could make a difference in the everyday lives of people who lived there.” Kristen Weller, 18, helped restore a cactus habitat at San Dieguito River Park. Weller, who graduated from The Bishop’s School and plans to study political science and international relations at Boston University, worked with park

rangers to clear nonnative brush and replant native plants. Malia Rappaport, Lori Rappaport’s 18-year-old daughter, educated local elementary school students about disabilities through presentations focusing on tolerance and acceptance. The project stemmed from her work as a student leader with “I Am Norm,” a national campaign that redefines “normal” and promotes inclusivity. Malia, who also created an “I Am Norm” club at Canyon Crest Academy, has presented at several conferences for “I Am Norm” and the Girl Scouts at Washington D.C. “I want to change the way people think about inclusion so it just becomes second nature,” said Malia, a Canyon Crest Academy graduate who is attending San Diego State University in the fall. In addition to participating in social events and community service activities, the girls have formed long-lasting friendships. Celeste Calderon, an undeclared sophomore at Skidmore College, and Tessa Gruen, a child development sophomore at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, returned to Rancho Santa Fe for Troop 1109’s final meeting on July 14. Both 19-year-olds joined the troop in fifth grade after their first troop disbanded. “Coming back, it feels the same,” Calderon said. “We just catch up and we’re all still friends. It’s nice to know that I have them

Entrepreneur creates fundraising platform that supports local schools BY KRISTINA HOUCK After running a successful hedge fund that invested in Internet companies, Karim Pirani retired at 41. About a decade later and bored with retirement, the local resident decided to create his own Internet company in 2009. “Retirement is not all that it’s cracked up to be, especially in your mid-40s,” said Pirani, 55. Pirani launched Safelist, which he calls a “safer Craigslist.” But when the idea failed to gain traction, he began working on a new venture — a fundraising platform that supports local schools. “Schools are having such a tough time raising money through PTAs,” Pirani said. “In a bad economy, parents are having a tough time writing checks, so I got an idea to create a platform where parents can now clean out their garages and basements and donate those items to their local PTA instead of having to write a check.” After receiving positive feedback from a test version in Santa Barbara, Pirani launched DonorNation in San Diego in January. The online platform enables individuals and businesses to help schools fundraise by buying and selling products, services and used items. A percentage of the proceeds from each transaction — at least 10 percent and as much as 100 percent — supports local schools.

Karim Pirani “Our economy is getting better, but there are still families out there who are tightening their belts to make ends meet,” said Pirani, who also co-owns Raanya Facial Threading and Henna Tattoos in Del Mar with his wife. “We all are pressured by our PTA to donate. For the ones who can afford it, it’s no problem. For the ones who cannot, it’s tough to write a check all the time. Our platform gives parents options.” In addition to raising funds for local schools, DonorNation enables users to support local businesses, said Pirani, a father of two daughters, ages 11 and 22. From automotive repairs to yoga lessons, a variety of services are available through the online marketplace. “Nothing is more important than making sure our kids receive quality education,” Pirani said. “By fostering community involvement, we are allowing the community to support our schools in a very tangible way and also support local

businesses.” About 70 local schools are utilizing the platform, 40 of which registered after DonorNation gained exposure from its first annual School Volunteer of the Year Award. Award winners and honorable mentions — including Grand Prize Winner James Fosnot of Oceanside High School — were recognized at a ceremony on June 19 at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar. “The School Volunteer of the Year Award brought a lot of attention to our platform,” Pirani said. “These volunteers always work in the shadows. None of these volunteers ever ask for attention or ask for awards. The School Volunteer of the Year Award that my company initiated, I think, brings attention to what this community does and how hard our volunteers work.” With more than $16,000 raised for San Diego County schools since DonorNation launched in January, Pirani said he’s happy with his decision to come out of retirement. “I think what I’m doing now, this is the best thing that could have happened to me,” Pirani said. “It allows me to build a platform where the community can join hands and support their favorite cause by donating their time or donating stuff.” For more information about DonorNation, visit www.donornation.org.

CCA spiker proves herself to be a big-game player BY GIDEON RUBIN Hannah Grobisen isn’t among San Diego County’s tallest high school volleyball players and she can’t jump out of the gym. But whatever the incoming junior Canyon Crest Academy middle blocker lacks in size, athleticism and raw ability, she more than makes up for with smarts, savvy, and a propensity for clutch play. Grobisen plays for the prestigious San Diego Waves club team and has started her first two years at CCA. “She has the ability to play big in big moments,” Ravens coach Ariel Haas said, summing up the intangibles that, in his estimation, make Grobisen one of the county’s top club players in her age group. “I don’t know what it is about someone’s character, but when the pressure’s on maybe she focuses more. She always plays really well during those stressful periods.” Grobisen’s coaches took note of those qualities at the end of her freshman year, when she started a San Diego Section Division III semifinal playoff against a heavily favored La Costa Canyon team. That the Ravens were swept in three games by an LCC team that went on to play in the state finals was no a big surprise. But Grobisen’s performance was. Especially considering she found herself playing opposite standout Natalie Bausback, a University of Virginiabound senior. “That experience was really challenging,” Grobisen said. “That was a really great experience for me to be able to be a starter in an LCC playoff game my freshman year. I was very intimidated because she’s such a great player and she’s going to a Division I school.” Grobisen acknowledged that the decibel levels in a packed gym did little to calm her nerves. But she showed no signs of nervousness outwardly. And Grobisen more than held her own, leading the Ravens with a .583 hitting percentage (seven kills in 12 attempts). She was the Ravens second leading kill leader in that game. “I just felt like I was David against Goliath,” she said. “It

Hannah Grobisen was great to be able to compete in that game.” It’s a role that Grobisen relishes. “I definitely love playing when you’re the underdog and people don’t expect to do as well as you can. It’s really nice to prove people wrong.” Grobisen’s attitude makes her a nice fit for a Ravens program that’s been proving people wrong practically since the program’s inception. The Ravens made the Division III finals last season for the second time in three years – and for the first time

JUST IN!!

since graduating phenom Samantha Cash, who went on to play at Division I Pepperdine after leading CCA to its first finals appearance in 2010. CCA, which last season advanced to the Southern California Regional semifinals, was among eight teams selected to compete in the elite Open Division next year. The selection was based on the performance records of high school programs in all enrollment divisions going back five years. Grobisen said her teammates talked about what it meant to classified by the section commissioners as an elite program at a team meeting last fall. It is an especially sweet for a school known more for academics than sports, and for a program that’s existed just nine years and has fielded a varsity for seven years. “We thought it was huge honor to be moved up there,” she said. Grobisen is part of the reason they got moved up there, Haas said, noting that elite club players such as her weren’t coming to CCA in the numbers that they are now.

“She’s among a good crop of young players who have continued us on our path on an elite level,” Haas said. Grobisen, who Haas believes is a potential Division I or Division II college prospect, is among at least four returnees who project to play at four-year schools. The others are setter Carly Rasmussen and opposite Caroline Lappe (incoming juniors) and incoming sophomore outside hitter Jolie Rasmussen. The Ravens graduated seven seniors, including four who went on to play at four-year colleges. “In years past it would be one kid at that type of level, now we’re starting to see more of those kids,” Haas said. “With success every year brings more attention to the program and more kids wanting to come and be a part of what we’ve put together.” Grobisen’s upcoming season will be a chance to showcase her skills to scouts, Haas said. Although some of her best attributes aren’t easily measured by tape measures and stop watches, Grobisen is a solid server and excel-

lent attacker, Haas said. Scouts also pay close attention to how top-level players perform under pressure – a quality that she’s shown herself to excel in. “I think that’s a great sign of character,” Haas said, noting the LCC playoff game her freshman year spoke volumes about what makes Grobisen the player she is. “That was kind of the moment that I think back on,” he said. “She played so well against someone who was supposed to be better than her and it didn’t matter to her, as a freshman, and as a 14-year-old.” Grobisen admits she wasn’t always able to settle herself down in pressure situations so easily. She learned how to calm herself down playing club ball in middle school, entering games mostly as a reserve with game’s on the line. “I wasn’t always the best at it,” she admits, “but I do love to compete in tough situations because it always makes it fun for me. “To be down and then to be able to come back, that’s the best feeling in the world.”

CCA athlete competes in World Maccabiah Games in Israel BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local athlete Elliot Cohen is among the nearly 9,000 athletes competing at the 19th World Maccabiah Games in Israel July 18-30. Athletes from 78 countries are participating in 42 sports, as well as Paralympic events, at the Jewish Olympics-style competition, which is the third largest international sporting event in the world. Elliot, 15, is a starting soccer player for Team USA juniors. “I’m excited to be in Israel and play for the U.S.,” said Elliot, an attacking center midfielder, who plays soccer for Canyon Crest Academy and San Diego Surf Soccer Club. “It’s been really fun. I’m getting to meet new friends.” The team, which includes players born in 19971998, defeated Australia 2-0 in the group’s first match after the Opening Ceremonies on July 18. Elliot gave the inspirational talk in the huddle just before kickoff. “He’s such a passionate player,” said Elliot’s mother, Carolyn Cohen. “It’s very invigorating to watch him. It’s really fun.” The high school sophomore has played soccer since

Elliot Cohen he was a toddler. His father, David Cohen, played for the U.S. Open Men’s soccer team in the 1985 Maccabiah Games in Israel when he was 27 years old. David, a Solana Beach chiropractor, is currently in Israel coaching soccer and treating U.S. athletes for sports injuries. Carolyn and her daughter are traveling to Israel on July 22 to watch Elliot play and attend the Closing Ceremonies on July 30. “Elliot’s very humble about what a great soccer player is,” Carolyn said. “He’s a brilliant soccer player. He’s an integral part of

the team.” In addition to participating in sports competitions, athletes in the World Maccabiah Games tour Israel and learn about the Jewish history and culture. “It’s a great country,” Elliot said. “I’m really glad that I get to connect with my religion. “For me, it’s interesting because in California, there’s not that many Jews so it’s kind of tough to be able to connect with people about that. But here, everyone is Jewish, so we have a common connection and I can connect with other people.” Carolyn said she’s thrilled her son has an opportunity to connect with Israel and fellow Jewish athletes. “I’m just excited for Elliot to be able to have this life experience,” Carolyn said. “He will be talking to his grandchildren about this. It’s the trip of a lifetime. It’s just unbelievable.” JLTV, a 24-hour Jewish-themed TV channel, is broadcasting the World Maccabiah Games in the U.S. For more information about the international sporting event, visit www. maccabiah.com.

Letters/Commentary/Opinion

Rant with Randi: Simplicity BY RANDI CRAWFORD I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m so happy in Colorado, and it finally hit me. Everything is so simple. We are staying in a three-bedroom condominium on the mountain, and life is good. By the time summer rolls around, our whole family needs a break. We are on one speed all year, and it’s go. I’m tired all the time and I feel like my canned response whenever my parents call is: “We’re all great, just really busy.” Our life consists of school, sports, homework and sleeping. Then you layer in birthday parties, travel teams, play dates, video games and watching “Friends,” and you have a full plate. My parents ask me if my kids remember how to use a phone. They don’t understand that kids are going 24/7, and for them to pick up a phone and call is close to an impossible request. That’s sad, I know, but it’s the truth. Before we leave town, we cover all bases. This summer we waited to leave until the final lacrosse game was played (not that our son was even able to play in it), and my daughter had a sleep over birthday party. When we get home, it will be perfectly timed for football and cheer, so we had to be ready for that without skipping a beat. We arranged for an early equipment pick up, hit up the stores for all the “extra” gear we need and the only thing left on the list is a pair of cleats. Trust me when I say that we leave no stone unturned before we head out of town… …Which is why we are so happy when we have “nothing” on the to do list. From the minute we enter this beautiful state, we all let go. Granted, I’m not stating the obvious – we have no schedule to adhere to, but this is more. The Aspen trees are constantly blowing, which makes a sound that’s hard to describe. I’ll put it this way, you don’t want to listen to music when you hike up the mountain so that you don’t miss the whispering sound of the trees, blowing in the wind. Every morning, I drink my coffee on the deck, staring out at the mountain, and feel like I’m in the middle of a post card. Let’s take the kitchen. There’s basically one of everything – nothing more and nothing less. The “junk drawer” consists of everything we actually need. I needed a pair of scissors, and I found them. I needed matches to light the grill, and I found them too. If I want to make eggs, there’s one pan to make eggs. It’s so liberating. I hate “stuff.” I’m always walking around my house in San Diego and looking for things to throw away. And here in the mountains, we don’t have a lot of stuff. We brought a few games, and every night we play Charades, Monopoly or Clue. We didn’t bring any video games and that’s an entirely different rant. There is zero screaming to get your kid off the X-box. Makes you wonder why you own one in the first place. And then there’s the fact that we are in the great outdoors. My kids have found a love of fly-fishing, hiking, white water river rafting and just playing outside. Every night, we walk into town (which takes about 5 minutes), and get caramel-covered apples or ice-cream and just chill. There’s minimal driving. I haven’t even mentioned the tap water. It’s cold, delicious and refreshing. How cool is that? I know it’s extreme to think that I can replicate this lifestyle when I get home, but I’m certainly going to try. My kids had better lock their doors, because I’m ready to hit the dump. Material things are so over-rated. I’m learning that all we need are the basics and we are going to work hard on getting back to a more minimalist lifestyle. My sister agrees with me, but wants to know how I’m going to execute this when I get home. I have no idea, but trust me, there is much more to come on this topic.

Education Matters/Opinion

‘Come pick up your camper’ BY MARSHA SUTTON T h e first call came at 7 p.m. MonMarsha Sutton d a y night. It was an automated announcement saying everything was fine and the fire was not affecting any camp activities. Fire? What fire? We had dropped off our son at his favorite camp in Idyllwild last Sunday, July 14, for a 12-day stay. This was his last year there before he aged out. After hours of planning and map-gazing – debating possible destinations, travel times, sights along the way – my husband and I decided to use those 12 days to take a driving trip throughout the Southwest, something we’ve always wanted to do. The number of hours spent planning the trip – booking and re-booking hotels, and solidifying the final itinerary – was mindboggling. But once done, we were more than ready to hit the road. Driving along the highways through the wide open spaces is something I grew up with in the Midwest. That was the era of “See the USA in your Chevrolet” – although we always traveled in Oldsmobiles. I still find it the most relaxing way to travel and love the freedom from inconvenient airline departure times, crowded airports, ridiculous security checks, claustrophobic planes and costly rental cars. That was then, last week. Today, if I ever see the inside of that car for more than 15 minutes, I’ll go crazy. All was well until two hours after leaving camp in Idyllwild, when the left rear bumper on our two-year-old Lexus popped loose, rattling enough to cause worry. We persevered until the banging got so loud that we became apprehensive that the piece of bumper might rip off and crash through another car’s windshield. In retrospect, we should have regarded this setback as an omen and returned home at once. A second inspection on the side of the freeway, as vehicles sped along inches from us at 80 miles per hour, revealed that the bumper

was flapping hard enough to begin to tear. So my husband just ripped the damn thing off and threw it in the back seat where it stayed for the duration of our Southwest adventure. Problem solved, although the car looked ready for the junkyard, with a gaping hole where the bumper used to be. Our first night was a stop-over in Sedona, just a place to sleep before heading the next day to Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the next four days and nights. Never having been to Santa Fe, I considered it the highlight of the trip, and two full days of driving was going to be worth it. After settling into our hotel quarters (upgraded to a suite when the room we booked was unavailable), bliss over our spacious surroundings was interrupted by the call from camp. Quick check on the Internet revealed a growing fire out of control near Idyllwild that began less than 24 hours after camp got underway. The Mountain Fire was moving away from camp, so not to worry, the recording said. So we didn’t. The next day, although overcast with scattered showers, we plotted out a walking tour of Santa Fe that covered all the high points of this charming town. Some unexpected intestinal distress about an hour into our walk gave me the unwelcome opportunity to visit some of the nicest bathrooms in Santa Fe – La Posada Resort, Loretto Inn and Spa, La Fonda, and my favorite (or at least most frequented) – the Eldorado Hotel. Popping Imodium like M&Ms, I lasted until midafternoon when Santa Fe lost its charm and we called it a day. After staggering back to our luscious suite, we retreated, rested and nibbled on carrots and crackers for dinner (forget all that refined, delectable cuisine at renowned restaurants for which Santa Fe is famous). Later that night, we tried to ignore the gnawing feeling of dread after receiving another update from camp which advised us not to worry, even though the fire was spreading. Again overcast and chilly despite the promised 90-degree weather, the next

day we decided to drive to Taos, explore the town and tour the famous Taos Pueblo. Although it was an all-day affair to drive there, spend several hours, and drive back the long scenic route, the Taos Pueblo was fascinating and memorable. It is about 1,000 years old and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960. In 1992 it was named a World Heritage Site and is a living monument to what is considered to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the country. The Taos Pueblo community is known for being one of the most private in existence. The people’s religion, language, practices, traditions and culture are kept secret. With no running water or electricity, the people of Taos Pueblo live simple lives and can trace their ancestry back to a time before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors. About 150 people live in the historic complex full-time. Friendly but somewhat guarded, residents of the pueblo go on about their lives as tours are conducted around them. Upon our return to Santa Fe later that evening, after being booted out of our suite and moved (forcibly, almost) to a regular room, another update came from camp. This time it was the same chipper voice saying everything was still fine. But then this piece of news: “The Riverside Fire Department has ordered a mandatory evacuation of camp.” Hmmm … a sense of foreboding. Again, forget the nice dinner. We hung by the phone. At 10 p.m., the next call was a stunner: “We have arrived safely at the Hemet Red Cross shelter. We would love for you to come pick up your camper.” Come pick up your camper?!?!? These were five dreaded words that no parent ever wants to hear, especially parents who were four days into a 12-day vacation and two days’ drive from the pick-up site. Home now under cloudy skies at the beach, I’m trying not to think about how we were sup-

posed to be white-water rafting today in Durango, Colorado, after leaving Santa Fe. Then there was to be a much anticipated visit to Mesa Verde National Park, then three days in Moab, Utah, and Arches and Canyonlands National Parks for hiking and more river rafting, capped by two nights in Palm Springs at a five-star resort with fantastic mid-week summer rates. But as John Lennon famously said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Two more days of driving back home, cancelling hotel reservations along the way, translated into five of six days sitting in a car. Naturally, the day we left Santa Fe was gloriously sunny and warm at last. Meanwhile, our intrepid camper spent the first night of his evacuation in a hotel with the rest of the campers whose parents couldn’t drop everything at 10 p.m. and drive to Hemet to pick them up. This included kids from New York and one from Russia. The second night he was rescued by a friend who kept him safe in Los Angeles until we could come retrieve him. We just got the news of the official all-clear for evacuees to return to Idyllwild, six days after the fire had started. However, the decision had been made earlier to cancel camp permanently. So after two smoky days, camp was over for the summer. Conflicted about who to feel more sorry for – us for an aborted vacation or our son for a disappointingly shortened camp experience – we got word that a dear friend had just been diagnosed with glioblastoma and was recovering from emergency brain surgery. Perspective. Our son is fine, no one was injured at camp, we made it back safely, rear bumper and all, and we live in beautiful and politically torrid San Diego – where the steamy news almost makes up for the chilly weather. Meanwhile, if anyone wants a ready-made, thoroughly researched 12-day driving trip through the Southwest, I can make some recommendations. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san. rr.com.

Cathy Iwane with her family COURTESY PHOTOS

Personal experience with nuclear disaster inspires local safety activist By KRISTINA HOUCK Local resident Cathy Iwane was elated when she learned Southern California Edison would permanently shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant. Iwane has fought the effort to restart the plant since she and her family fled Japan last year to escape the effects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Three days after Iwane signed a lease to a home in this area, however, a small quantity of radioactive gas leaked inside one of the buildings at San Onofre. “I thought, ‘Are we going to be living like gypsies?’” recalled Iwane, who now lives with her 13-yearold daughter locally. “Rather than running away from everything, I decided to see what’s available. Little did I know there was such a strong community of activists that devoted their lives to this.” Iwane joined San Clemente Green, a grassroots group that advocated the permanent closure of San Onofre, and frequently shared her story during various city council meetings and other events. “A lot of people say a nuclear disaster would never happen here,” Iwane said. “The world needs to learn from the mistakes of Fukushima.” For 25 years, Iwane lived in Wakayama, Japan, which is 380 miles away from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. While her city wasn’t devastated from the nuclear accident, Iwane grew concerned for her family’s health when the Japanese government began burning radioactive debris in garbage incinerators around the country. Iwane joined other con-

A Geiger counter cerned citizens to petition against the burning of waste in Wakayama. Although the petition was successful, Iwane said the government began burning debris in Osaka — about an hour away from Wakayama. “Although it’s low-dose, this stuff goes into the air, it gets blown around by the wind and it rains down onto the people, onto crops,” Iwane said. Iwane began testing her family’s food with a Geiger counter, a tool that measures ionizing radiation in the atmosphere. She found high levels of contamination in fish and trace elements of contamination in milk. After discovering her younger daughter’s school lunches contained ingredients from northeastern Japan, Iwane began preparing homemade lunches. The school administrator, Iwane said, told her not to alert the other parents of her findings. “My daughter was forced to tell her classmates that she had a food allergy,” said Iwane, who worked as an English teacher and volunteered as a PTA member at the school. “For me, that

was like a stake in the heart. We’ve worked together, you trusted me, I entrusted my children to you, and now you’re telling me to suppress my research?” Iwane tested food for a year before she and her husband decided it was time to relocate their family. After the radioactive gas leak at San Onofre, Iwane decided she was going to do everything she could to prevent a nuclear disaster at her new home. “I’m just here by chance because I evacuated, and it’s an issue that’s close to my heart,” Iwane said. “I never actually did this until the meltdown, until I actually saw and met people who left Fukushima and came to my area in Japan.” San Clemente Green CoFounder Gary Headrick said Iwane’s story helped educate and inspire action from the public regarding the dangers associated with restarting the defective nuclear reactor at San Onofre. “Over here, it’s sort of this abstract thing we’ve heard about,” said Headrick, who co-founded the group with his wife, Laurie Headrick, in 2007. “When someone who has gone through it comes and tells you about it and makes it all personal … you start realizing that can happen here.” Although San Onofre is now closed, Iwane’s activist work is far from over. Safely decommissioning the plant is next on her list of priorities. “Shutting down San Onofre is so wonderful, but our work has only just begun,” Iwane said. “Let’s try to decommission this plant so that we do not end up with a nuclear waste dump.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

QUESTIONS continued from page 2 Genetic counselors are specialists in evaluating a family’s history, determining whether genetic testing could be useful, and coordinating the genetic testing process for the family. They also understand a very real and important concern for many people: It is emotionally difficult to discuss your relatives’ cancers, especially when your family has had more than its share of cancer cases. Lisa Madlensky, Ph.D., is a board-certified genetic counselor specializing in cancer genetics at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. A counseling appointment with her usually lasts at least an hour. She goes through the family history in detail and then provides an accurate assessment of the family’s cancer pattern. Although Ms. Jolie has drawn attention to BRCA1/2 and the risks of ovarian and breast cancer, it’s important to know that other genes can increase the risk of other cancers. For example, four genes in a rare condition called Lynch Syndrome increase the risk of colon, uterine and other cancers. Families with Lynch Syndrome receive a person-

alized medical management plan designed by high-risk specialist teams (including doctors from multiple disciplines) that can include yearly colonoscopies and other tests. Other syndromes are associated with some pancreatic cancers, melanomas or endocrine cancers. Although most of these syndromes are fortunately quite rare, when they happen in your family, it’s important to connect with a cancer genetics specialist to get the most up-to-date and personalized information. There is no “one size fits all� approach. Just as more personalized approaches are increasing in cancer treatment, they are increasing in cancer prevention and early detection, too. Another example of personalized breast-cancer risk assessment and prevention that I’ll visit in a future column is the Athena Breast Health Program at the five UC medical centers. The first step, though, can be the toughest. It takes courage to begin asking questions about family cancer history or genetic testing for cancer risk, as Ms. Jolie and others have done. Fortunately, Dr. Madlensky and other expert cancer genetic counselors throughout San Diego are available to help.

They guide people through this complicated process, ultimately reducing the toll of cancer on families who have inherited a high risk. Scott M. Lippman, MD, is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in this newspaper the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mccdir-lippman@ucsd.edu.

BURGLARIES continued from page 1 first six months of last year. To request a vacation check this summer or to follow updates from the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, visit rsfpatrol.blogpot.com. Contact dispatch at (858) 756-4372. For emergencies call (858) 756-9966 or 911.

ASSESSMENTS continued from page 1 In the past it took two consecutive delinquencies before a lien could be placed, meaning upward of 18 months could go by before the Association identified a financial hardship. To help staff identify a delinquency earlier, a lien can now be placed after each delinquent assessment.

SCOUTS continued from page 12 there.� “It’s good to have an outlet outside of your normal friend group,� Leung added. “It’s a group of people who are inspiring and support you. When you’re in high school, middle school and elementary school, it’s difficult to find a group of people who will genuinely be there for you.� Already co-leader of her older daughter’s troop, Lori Rappaport became troop leader for Troop 1109 when Malia was in third grade. Her mother was a troop leader when she was in Girl Scouts as a child. “I loved it,� Lori Rappaport recalled. “I really felt strongly about the mission of Girl Scouts, and I wanted my daughters to have the opportunities and ability to stay in Girls Scouts with a strong group. I guess I felt at the time I could ensure that by being a leader.� Rappaport said many people believe Girl Scouts is an afterschool program that only offers arts and crafts, but that isn’t the case. “There are incredible opportunities for these girls as they get older, and I think it’s a wonderful experience as a leader to have the chance to spend that time and see them grow and watch them

develop their passions and what they want to do in life.â€? Because of her Girl Scouts connections, Malia became involved with “I Am Normâ€? and has traveled to Washington D.C. on multiple occasions, Rappaport noted. One of the other girls, Gruen, backpacked the Amazon rainforest with Girl Scouts from across the country the summer before she started 11th grade. During the twoweek trip, the girls helped restore a small community. “It was amazing,â€? Gruen said. “There were lots of bugs and it was really hot, but everyone was there because they loved to travel and do community service. ‌ It prepared me to be more independent.â€? Although most of the girls were a part of the troop from the start, Troop 1109 remained very inclusive, accepting any girl who wanted to join. A Girl Scout since kindergarten, Clara Belitz, 18, joined the troop in 10th grade when her troop disbanded. Milan Ingwell, 18, and Rachel Barrales, 17, joined the troop when both of their families separately moved from Virginia to North San Diego County. Both graduates of Torrey Pines High School, Ingwell is headed to the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Barrales is going to the University of Miami. “It was hard leaving my friends behind and hearing all the things that troop was doing,â€? Barrales said. “When

I came here, it was really fun to meet the different girls. It helped with the transition.� All of the girls thank Lori for leading their troop and helping them develop leadership skills. “Lori really kept us together even though we went to different high schools and had very different and busy schedules,� Calderon said. “She was the glue that kept us together. She was able to reach out to us and guide us down a really good path.� “I couldn’t ask for a better leader,� Malia said. “I wasn’t the kid who was content sitting around. I wanted to volunteer and have crazy adventures with the troop, make friends and lead people. She listened to what I said about that, what I wanted.� “She’s an empowering person,� Gruen said. “She does a lot of work for the community. It’s really inspiring.� Lori Rappaport encourages other parents of young girls to sign their daughters up for Girl Scouts and consider becoming troop leaders. “I think of all the things that girls could do, Girl Scouts is probably one of the best experiences and prepares them for so many opportunities later in life,� Lori Rappaport said. “I would encourage any parents who have their girls in Girl Scouts or are considering joining Girl Scouts, or their troops might be falling a part, to step in and take [a leadership role].�

Searsucker now open at Del Mar Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Burlap has now officially become Searsucker. The eatery in Del Mar Highlands Town Center opened on July 17, bringing a downtown San Diego hotspot up to North County. Searsucker is in the same ownership group as its predecessor Burlap, the Enlightened Hospitality Group, headed up by James Brennan and Chef Brian Malarkey, the winning judge/ mentor of ABC’s “The Taste” and BRAVO “Top Chef” season 4 finalist. The aim with Searsucker is to return focus on “approachable food, unique twists on American classics and a laid-back atmosphere.” Searsucker is one of the hospitality group’s most successful restaurant brands, opening in downtown San Diego in July 2010. The popular concept has since been brought to Scottsdale, Ariz., and Austin, Texas, and along with the group’s Herringbone is planned to expand on a more national level over the next five years. “Many of our Searsucker San Diego clientele are North County residents who make the drive down south each weekend to enjoy the food, design and ambiance that makes Searsucker such a unique destination,” Malarkey said. “To be able to now put a Searsucker in their very own neighborhood is a win for everyone.” Chef Andrew “Dizzle” Phillips will serve as the chef de cuisine in the kitchen, visible through large windows to the main restaurant. Phillips helped open the flagship Searsucker downtown. The Carmel Valley restaurant’s menu will mirror its downtown counterpart with “playful twists on New American classics,” such as mushrooms and burrata tuna with prosciutto, basil and balsamic, and the whiskey braised pork with grilled peaches and baconaise. Open for lunch, Sear-

Searsucker opened on July 17, bringing a downtown San Diego hotspot up to North County. sucker serves up salads and sandwiches such as the “two hand” burger, pastrami on rye ruebans, French dips and “drunken” chicken salad made with brown butter aioli, almonds, rosemary, orange zest, port cherries on ciabatta bread. At dinner, Searsucker has a selection of small plates like short ribs, duck fat fries, mussels and beef tartare and entrée options fresh from ocean, ranch and farm. There is salmon with roasted tomato, kale and cippolini; steaks and succotash baked with seasonal vegetables, as well as side dishes, such as fried Brussels sprouts and walnuts and cauliflower and manchego cheese Weekend brunch offers bottomless mimosas and manmosas (a concoction of bourbon, blackberry, maple syrup and champagne) and unexpected spins on breakfast standards. Designer Thomas Schoos, who created the Asian-inspired look of Burlap, has completed the restaurant’s makeover into vintage Americana and American West stylings. Light fills the space from new front windows that were covered in the previous restaurant’s design and an outdoor patio full of tables and cozy padded furniture beckons. There is lots of natural wood and rope textures, playful animal art replaces Burlap’s dragons and the word “Eat” in vintage lit-up lettering appears in multiple spot. Searsucker will serve lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner Sunday through Thursday from 5-10 p.m., and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Sunday brunch will be served 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For reservations, call (858) 369-5700; searsucker.com.

Double Indemnity: Old Globe stages tale of sex, murder, betrayal

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER Film noir fans are in for a real treat as the Old Globe prepares to stage the San Diego premiere of “Double Indemnity,” directed by John Gould Rubin, based on the book by James M. Cain, and adapted by David Pichette and R. Hamilton Wright. “Double Indemnity,” finds Walter Huff (Michael Hayden), a Los Angeles insurance man, who while selling insurance to Herbert Nirlinger (Murphy Guyer) is roped into a dangerous situation. Herbert’s wife, Phyllis (Angel Desai), seduces Walter into murdering Herbert to collect the insurance money. Rubin — a director, producer, teacher and a former actor — has worked on almost every genre of stage production, but is a real fan of film noir. As a teacher, he said he strived to lead his students to new forms of work that is more adventurous. “I wanted to give them

If you go What: “Double Indemnity’” When: Matinees, evenings July 27-Aug. 25 Where: Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, Old Globe, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park Tickets: From $29 Box Office: (619) 23-GLOBE Website: TheOldGlobe.org an experience in class that allowed them to feel they could act in material with unusual demands, so I used scenes from film noir,” Rubin said.“In theater scenes

are literary, but in film, there are visual demands that require the actors move in certain ways to make beats happen,” he said. Film noir is associated with stylish crime dramas popular in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. It has specific style fundamentals — suspicious and sleazy motivations, black-and-white photography with shadowy and sharp angles, and foreboding music and sexuality. Rubin had this challenge in bringing “Double Indemnity” to the “round” Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre stage. “We have 30 scenes, and representing all of those scenes with sound, light, video, the turntable and modern theatrical devises, really attracted me,” he said. “Double Indemnity,” was a popular 1944 film starring Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson. It garnered seven Academy Award nominations. Rubin wants audiences to know the play is based

on the book, and is different from the film. “We’re using the original script of the play with a few changes. I presume people coming to a play based on a novel presume there will be changes to adapt it to the stage. I’m hoping that transition is so evident that when they come into the theater, it will divest them of preconceptions.” In this production, Rubin said he did want to play to style, but to the reality of the circumstances, and allow each character to analyze his or her circumstances. “Like for Phyllis; how did she descend into the kind of life she’s in and how does she psychologically engage in an act of murder?” Rubin proposed. “And what makes Walter take that step from fantasizing about — to actually committing a crime — and then taking that slide into a horrible nightmare?” Rubin’s approach to casting was to look for actors who would go at their char-

acters purely and cleanly through character analysis and not try to play a style piece. “I wanted them to let the style be a function of the way the lines dictate and the way we’re doing the play,” he said. “And also I wanted it to be really sexy, because this genre has a combination of murder and sex that I wanted to feel really palpable. I hope audiences find this version riveting and are able to identify with these characters and feel as if they’ve lived this scenario right along with them.” Phyllis (Angel Desai) and Michael (Walter Huff) form a dangerously intimate relationship in the San Diego Premiere of ‘Double Indemnity,’ based on the book by James M. Cain. Photo/Jim Cox

Japanese fare served in high style at Katsuya by Starck BY KELLEY CARLSON o attract foodies and casual diners alike, Katsuya’s San Diego location recently scaled down the size of its menu — described as “Japanese fare catered to the American palate, but with a unique concentration on San Diego tastes” — along with some of the price points and made subtle alterations to the decor. “We are beyond excited to introduce our new menu, which pairs Katsuya’s sophistication with the fun-loving community of San Diego,” Assistant General Manager Pouria Malihi said in a news release. “We want customers to feel like they can dine at Katsuya in flip-flops after a ball game or in heels and cocktail attire before a night out downtown.” Located in a 6,000-square-foot space that’s part of the Andaz Hotel, the restaurant is upbeat and chic, yet casual. Decorated by renowned designer Philippe Starck, the rooms have bold, contrasting colors, but they’re softened by the glow of candles, large Japanese lanterns and illuminated geisha images. The establishment is further enhanced by small details, such as pink and silver Maneki Neko cats. Social hour is observed in the lounge, where guests can get comfortable on loveseats or make a new acquaintance at the bar. Mirrored columns boast flat-screen TVs that broadcast athletic events.

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:

Katsuya’s Sauteed Shishito Peppers Another place for interaction is the sushi bar, where patrons can witness chefs preparing rolls of rice with vegetables and raw seafood. “You get the energy of the kitchen,” Sous Chef Jason Velasquez said. Seating for dinner begins at 5:30 p.m. For special occasions, there is a semi-private mezzanine with ornate mirrors on patterned red walls, shielded from inquisitive eyes by white, flowing curtains; and a private atrium with an open skylight that permits a peek into the heart of the Andaz. To ease into the dining experience, some guests sip on the new “Local Libation Cocktails” such as 6th & F, a brilliant red beverage with Akvinta Vodka, muddled

Sauteéd Shishito Peppers lychees and raspberries, pineapple juice, squeezed lemon and a splash of St. Germain. Or they may opt for one of the many wines and beers, including Japanese Sapporo and Stone Brewing Co. selections. There are also premiere sakes; the Sasaichi brewery created one especially for the restaurant titled Katsuya Sake-Victory, which incorporates water from Mount Fuji. All of the Katsuya locations (six in the United States, and another planned in Dubai) share the same base menu, a showcase of Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi’s style. For example, there’s Sauteéd Shishito Peppers (an average of one in 10 are spicy!) and a Crispy Soft-Shelled Crab that can be

dipped in tartar sauce and chili ponzu. And there’s Robata, in which skewers of vegetables, meats or seafood are grilled over special Japanese charcoal. Yet there are a handful of selections that are exclusive to the San Diego site. One is the Double Double Roll that has a bit of zing, with rice, spicy yellowtail, spicy kanikama and cucumber rolled together and topped with more yellowtail, onion ponzu and Serrano chili. Another is the Chirashi Sushi — thin slices of fish over rice with ginger and sesame. A favorite of the chefs are the new sliders, which come in four varieties: Teriyaki Portobello, Wagyu, Spicy Pork Belly and Shrimp Gratin Croquette. Possibly the most popular “newcomer” is the BOP, in which servers bring sizzling-rice hot pots to the diner’s table and then mix in sweet-soy BOP sauce with Japanese mushroom, braised short rib or pork bulgogi. Another notable dish is the tender and juicy 6-ounce Wagyu Ribeye, served over maitake mushrooms with truffle butter. For dessert, there are sweet treats such as mini crème brûlées; mochi, a confection made from pounded sticky rice and filled with ice cream in flavors such as mango and strawberry; and the Caramel Apple — warm Fuji apples and rum raisins in a phyllo dough basket, topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS RSF Insurance has long history of providing personal insurance in the high-value market •RSF insurance known for offering ‘the best coverage at a competitive price’ BY CATHERINE KOLONKO A Rancho Santa Fe company with decades of experience in the personal insurance industry has established a strong presence in the community, opening additional branches and expanding its product offering to include health coverage. When owner Craig Edwards began his company, Rancho Santa Fe Insurance, 25 years ago — in the same community it’s named after — he specialized in equine and personal insurance for the affluent. The company quickly grew “seemingly overnight,” said Vanessa Snodgrass, who joined the business in 1999 and now serves as its chief operating officer. Over the years, success of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance led to more branches in La Jolla, Palm Desert and Newport Beach. The company’s 12 employees specialize in homeowners, auto, collections, yacht, aircraft, health and life insurance, as well as umbrella policies that cover liability gaps in other policies. Because they act as an independent broker, employees there can shop for the best coverage at a com-

Craig Edwards, owner of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance. petitive price without the limitations sometimes imposed by individual insurance companies. They also do business with firms that offer their clients up to $100 million in liability coverage, which is important for clients with large estates. “The general rule of thumb is to make sure that their net worth is protected,” Snodgrass said. “So if they find themselves in a lawsuit, they don’t lose their assets...” After more than two decades in the business, what Edwards, the owner and company president, enjoys

most is meeting clients from all over the world and hearing how they achieved their success. A Rancho Santa Fe resident, he also values community involvement. His company lends support to several organizations, including San Pasqual Academy, Sharp Hospice Care, United Cerebral Palsy, Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society. Edwards grew up in Iowa where he developed a love for thoroughbred horses, spending weekends at Aksarben Race Track in Omaha, Neb., with his parents. Before moving to Rancho Santa Fe in the early 1980s and starting his present company, he worked as a bloodstock agent, selling

and insuring horses for clients in the U.S. and overseas. Edwards’ company focus is personal insurance in the high-value market, for example, coverage of homes with a replacement value of $1 million or more. A list of testimonials on RSFinsurance.com features praise from Rancho Santa Fe residents who are some of San Diego County’s well-known citizens, including Padre’s Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, author Joseph Wambaugh, and Andrew Viterbi, who cofounded Qualcom. The first step in assessing risk for new clients is a review of their current policies and assets, said Snodgrass. Valuable art and jewelry are often overlooked and underinsured. “Some companies, the most they will pay out for jewelry is $2,500,” she said. “That’s not really going to cover most of our clients’ jewelry.” Snodgrass suggests that people in the market for insurance first consult with an independent broker who can shop for the best deals. Try to package insurance policies because buying your car, house and umbrella policy with the same company can save money.

The exterior of the Rancho Santa Fe Insurance office in Rancho Santa Fe. For homeowner policies, it’s also important to find a company that will inspect the house before insuring it, so that individual needs unique to that property are not overlooked. Another tip — some insurance companies offer complimentary background checks on domestic employees, a measure designed to improve safety and prevent theft of pricey possessions. People who buy homeowners insurance want to know that it will serve its purpose if and when disasters such as wildfires strike. Some insurance companies offer complimentary wildfire protection services that involve spraying a house with a fire resistant gel or other substance when fire is approaching and removing it when the danger passes, said Snodgrass. That service saved clients’ homes when it was deployed during the destructive wildfires of 2007, she said. Snodgrass attributes the success of Rancho Santa Fe Insurance to first-rate customer service from employees who know the value of building and maintain relationships. “Their clients know them and they know their clients,” she said. “This is their home and their family that we’re talking about. The property that we are insuring is near and dear to their hearts.” Rancho Santa Fe Insurance is located at 6105 Paseo Delicias in Rancho Santa Fe. More information about the company is available at its web site RSFinsurance.com.

It’s a photo finish for our new restaurant and spa. Just in time for Del Mar race season, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe revives comfortable sophistication in the country. Morada restaurant’s unveiling is sure to capture your attention, with locally sourced California cuisine. Also new, The Spa at The Inn epitomizes relaxation with a purpose, infusing indigenous ingredients thoughtfully and personally. And simple perfection carries on into the Country Elegance and Starlet Nostalgia guestrooms, where the spirit of 1923 welcomes modern luxury.

Acclaimed Director Judd Apatow named San Diego Film Festival’s 2013 ‘Visionary Filmmaker Award’ recipient The San Diego Film Foundation announced recently that Judd Apatow has been named as recipient of its “Visionary Filmmaker Award” and will be feted in a tribute gala at the San Diego Film Festival on Thursday, Oct. 3, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. “Judd Apatow is indisputably one of the most supremely talented and beloved contemporary filmmakers working today,” said Festival Directors Tonya Mantooth and Dale Strack in a joint statement. “His body of work transcends a typical movie-going experience and enters the zeitgeist in a way rarely seen. On behalf of San Diego, we are beyond thrilled to honor him with a much-deserved award.” Noted film critic Jeffrey Lyons is also onboard as Festival Host and Jury President. Lyons has reviewed more than 15,000 movies, 900 Broadway and off-Broadway plays, interviewed nearly 500 actors, and written or co-authored six books. He’s co-hosted a variety of national movie review shows on PBS (“Sneak Previews”), MSNBC (“MSNBC’s “At the Movies”) and NBC’s syndicated (“Reel Talk”), and has enjoyed a stellar career on television, radio and print span-

ning 43 years – interviewing nearly every movie star of the past four decades. The San Diego Film Festival is “one of the most alluring festivals on the rise, boasting a close proximity to LA and a trendy crowd of nearly 13,000 people. It doubles as a film lover’s paradise and a weekend getaway where participants can take advantage of sunny weather, thriving art culture, and the city’s robust nightlife in the famed Gaslamp Quarter.” Last year’s awards recipient was Gus Van Sant, the award-winning director of Good Will Hunting (1997) and Promised Land (2012). Stars such as Diane Ladd, Anne Heche, Robin Williams, and Ben Affleck paid tribute. This year promises another robust slate of headline films and world premieres. Last year’s lineup included premieres of Silver Linings Playbook, The Sapphires and Seven

Psychopaths among many others. Additionally, The San Diego Film Festival is filled with groundbreaking panels. Last year’s included a discussion and screening of the documentary Trek Nation, featuring Rod Roddenberry and many others. The San Diego Film Foundation celebrates the art and power of independent film by creating unique, interactive, memorable film-going experiences. The non-profit San Diego Film Foundation produces the annual San Diego Film Festival showcasing one-of-a-kind film premieres, informative industry panels, and filmmaker and celebrity events. The organization is devoted to the inspiration and talent behind each film, and turns every screening into a must-see event, complete with after-parties.

Artist offers provocative glimpse at past 70 years during August exhibit What inspires a life well lived? Above: Clockwise, l-r: Christopher Canole drawings: The 1960s; Angelina Jolie; Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama; Albert Einstein BY PAT SHERMAN As an artist, actor, screenwriter, photojournalist and former UC San Diego fencing coach, Christopher Canole has seen a lot during his 6.6 decades on Earth. Now, Canole is sharing close to 1,000 unforgettable people and images that have shaped the world during that time, as rendered by hand in pencil and charcoal during a retrospective at Pannikin Coffee & Tea in La Jolla during August (with an opening reception 4-6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3). The central focus of the installation is a series of seven 18- by 24-inch collages, each representing a decade in Canole’s life, from the 1940s through the 2000s. Each piece took about a month to complete, and includes about 130 images, chronicling everything from World War II and the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll to the digital revolution and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Roots as an artist While earning his undergraduate degree in physics at UCSD, Canole took an art class with John Baldessari, the revered artist who taught there, 19681970, and went on to produce many groundbreaking works, including “Brain/ Cloud (with Seascape and Palm Tree),” one of the public art installations in the La Jolla Community Foundation’s “Murals of La Jolla” project. During his time at UCSD, Canole honed his chops sketching iconic images such as Peter Fonda in the 1969 counterculture classic, “Easy Rider” (the dominant image in Canole’s collage of the ’60s). Canole followed Baldessari when he left UCSD to teach at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in Valencia. “That’s when my life really turned around and went in that direction,” said Canole, who would go on to do design the exterior of the

If you go • 6.6 Decades: 33 Drawings by Christopher Canole • When: Aug. 1-31 (opening reception 4-6 p.m. Aug. 3) • Where: Pannikin Coffee & Tea, 7467 Girard Ave., La Jolla • Information: (858) 454-5453 or canole.com

“Fortress of Solitude” in the 1978 “Superman” movie. Canole’s seven decades will be displayed linearly along the rear wall of the Pannikin, inviting people to look closely for details and subtext, such as the images of black musicians in his collage of the 1950s. The unsung African American progenitors of rock music appear to be segregated in the lower left corner of the piece, below the dominant image of Elvis Presley and a Sun Records 45-RPM. Each piece has such a dominant image. For the ’70s, it’s a yin-yang symbol blending the era’s iconic smiley face with that of President Richard Nixon. For the ’80s — a decade Canole said he found puzzling — it’s a three-dimensional Rubik’s Cube puzzle. “It became a metaphor for trying to fit everything together that was going on,” Canole said. Naturally, the dominant element in the piece representing 2000s was the World Trade Center, as seen while the towers were engulfed in smoke and flame. “I really wanted to sort of remind people that that’s going to influence us for the rest of our lives,” said Canole, who drew the towers as seen unscathed in a photograph taken from the New Jersey Shore, with the Statue of Liberty in between.

After completing the towers, he then had to destroy them with sandpaper and other artist’s tools. “That was about the most emotional that I ever got during this whole process,” he said. “Remember how much paper rained down on the street? I wanted it to physically (represent that).” About 50 of the images appear in more than one of the collages, including Lady Liberty. “It’s not an overt visual connection because I want each decade to stand out by itself,” Canole said, noting that the person who can identify the most duplicated images will win a print representing the decade of their choice. The exhibition will also include about 33 single image drawings, including everyone from Junior Seau and Mahatma Gandhi to Peter O’Toole, Michelle Obama and the late La Jollan actor Cliff Robertson (whom Canole met while the Academy Award recipient was serving as Grand Marshal of the La Jolla Christmas parade). He would Robertson’s close friend and personal photographer in the latter years of his life. These days, to subsidize his artistic and literary pursuits, Canole is caretaker for the home once inhabited by UCSD’s founding chancellor, the late physicist, Herb York (his widow, Sybil, still lives there). Canole can be found regularly doing sketches on the Pannikin patio, and speaking with seniors about their “marvelous lives.” “I just love sitting there and having them relate their stories to me, so at least somebody’s going to keep that going,” he said. “If I do drawings, it sort of opens the door to them being more chatty about their lives and revealing what’s going on.”

Isn’t it all the special moments? Like waking up in your charming residence. Being greeted by name, with a warm smile. A great meal in stylish surroundings with good friends or an energizing workout. The newfound ease of living in the midst of everything you love. And the assurance that tomorrow’s care needs will be managed for you, right here at home. This is retirement living, enriched and unencumbered— tailored to you.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS New Cardiac Fitness and Weight Loss clinic offers Bod Pod •Th e Bod Pod is the “most technologically advanced device for measuring body fat and lean mass.â€? BY KAREN BILLING The only commercial Bod Pod in San Diego can be found in Del Mar. The Bod Pod, the most technologically advanced device for measuring body fat and lean mass, is one of the featured tools of Dr. Marian Holland’s new Cardiac Fitness and Weight Loss clinic off Carmel Valley Road. As seen on TV shows such as “The Biggest Loser,â€? patients climb aboard the space age-looking Bod Pod in form-fitting clothing and a head cap for testing that is quick and accurate — the time spent inside is the length of two 50-second measurements and results are printed within minutes. Bod Pod provides accuracy within 1-2 percent using air displacement plethysmology and is considered more accurate than underwater weighing or skin fold caliper testing. “Body Mass Index alone is not the best measure for a lot of people,â€? Holland said. “It can be a little bit deceiving.â€? Holland said that over

The Bod Pod. time people can build or lose muscle and gain or lose fat; their weight may increase or stay the same and simply stepping on a scale doesn’t tell the whole story. Holland said it’s more important to measure body composition than weight — body fat percentage can be one of the best indicators of health, giving people the whole picture of what’s going on in your body. Excess body fat increases the risk of diseases such as heart disease, type-2 diabetes, stroke and cancer, and it’s the excess that troubles Holland

Dr. Marian Holland the most. “More than one-third of Americans are overweight. It’s expected over 40 percent of Americans will be overweight by 2030. It just keeps going up and up,� Holland said. With her clinic, the board-certified internist, cardiologist and electro physiologist aims to fight the obesity epidemic and help clients with weight loss and cardiac health. Holland was a staff cardiology physician at the VA Hospital and it was her experience with one of the veterans that led her to shift her focus and open her new practice.

The veteran worked as a janitor on her floor and he could barely breathe as he walked because he was so heavy. In the first five weeks of working with him, Holland helped him change his diet and get down from 315 pounds to 281 pounds. Where he once drank six sodas and smoked three packs of cigarettes a day, he is now down to no sodas and just a half a pack a day. “He’s my inspiration on weight loss,� Holland said, noting that while he has lost a total of 60 pounds and still has a ways to go, he is sleeping better, is happier, healthier and has found a support system he didn’t have before. “Some people just need a little help, a little attention.� At her clinic, Holland does EKG exercise and cardiopulmonary stress testing to assess exercise tolerance, as well as echo cardiology using ultrasound imaging of the heart to assess cardiac size and function. Holland is “big on fitness�— she ran cross-country during her undergradu-

ate work at the University of Illinois and has competed in all the big marathons in the country, including New York City, Boston and Chicago. At her clinic, she can do VO2 testing on either a treadmill or stationary bike to determine overall fitness, and anaerobic thresholds to help patients learn how they can exercise more efficiently and maximize weight loss. Paired with Bod Pod testing, clients can arm themselves with information they need to stay motivated and inspired to tackle weight loss and health goals. “I want to promote health and try to prevent obesity and all of the bad diseases that come with it,� Holland said. In a special offered through the end of July, clients will get their first Bod Pod measurement for $75. To learn more, visit www. wellcardio.com or call (858) 792-2395. The clinic is located at 2262 Carmel Valley Road, suite F, Del Mar, 92014.

Wranglers Square Dance Club celebrates New graphic novel ‘Head Smash’ to become a feature film student graduation; New classes to be held in BY ROB LEDONNE Last weekend’s Comic Con drew thousands from all over the world; many of them in the entertainment industry who work in publishing, film, television and other fields. Vlad Yudin and Edwin Mejia are two of the countless people who come every year to check out all the festival has to offer and even push their own project. “It’s a big event, not just for comic books but for entertainment in general,” Yudin explained before the festival from a car in the middle of the New Mexico desert on the way to San Diego. “It’s a great way to learn what’s happening in the world of entertainment and, for me, to introduce new projects.” This year, Yudin and Mejia hawked a brand new graphic novel called “Head Smash,” a post apocalyptic science fiction thriller which is turning heads — not only in San Diego, but across the world and in Hollywood as well. Mark Morgan and Michael Beckor, the producers of the “Twilight” franchise, optioned the story to turn it into a feature film and Yudin is hard at work on the movie script. “The story started out as an idea for a new superhero with a cool twist,” Yudin explains concerning the origins of “Head Smash.” “We wanted to create a very relatable superhero with a power that’s also a gift and a curse.” Yudin and Mejia always knew they wanted to turn “Head Smash” into a feature film, and figured a graphic novel was a great way to drum up interest. “It made sense for us to turn it into a graphic novel,” Yudin notes. “It’s such a visual piece.” Last year at Comic Con, they announced their intent to publish the story and since then have been working hard putting together the pieces for its release exactly one year later, this July 31. “It all took quite some time,” says Yudin, who recruited a variety of the most notable people in the world of art and graphic novels. Among them was Joe Perez, best known as Kanye West’s art director; another artist, Tim Bradstreet, has years of street cred under his belt working on such classic comics as “Blade” and “The Punisher.” For now, Yudin (who grew up in Russia) and Mejia (who grew up in New York) are both basking in the acclaim that “Head Smash” is garnering by critics across the nation and are hard at work trying to spread the word. Said Yudin: “So far we’ve been to comic book conventions in Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Detroit and New York. San Diego is obviously the biggest, though.”

Solana Beach, Rancho Penasquitos

There’s no telling how big “Head Smash” will become, but judging by past fandom for hot graphic novel properties, the sky’s the limit. “We just had the actor Bill Paxton record some really cool narration for some special trailers we put together,” said Yudin, who notes that with the graphic novel complete, now they can start on the film adaptation. Perhaps for next year’s fest, if history repeats itself, they’ll unveil the next part of the “Head Smash” saga. After all, as Yudin sums up: “Comic Con is basically a huge celebration for everyone who embraces entertainment.” For more on “Head Smash,” check out http:// headsmash.net/.

The Wranglers Square Dance Club announced its 40th anniversary student graduation this June, with 18 students now able to square dance at a “Plus” level. The club started on April 9, 1973 when nine couples finished square dance instruction taught by Sherm Barth. Those couples quickly recruited others and graduated the club’s first “class” of dancers in September, 1974. There has been a new Wrangler class taught every year since, and this year’s class enjoyed their new dancing skills at a graduation dance at the Rancho Bernardo Community Center Gazebo on June 22. Class members learn about 115 “calls” over a nine-month period, which qualifies them to dance at the club’s “Plus” level. Club members serve as “angels” (dancing helpers) for the students during the Wednesday night classes. A new Wrangler class will start on Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. at Rolling Hills Elementary in Rancho Penasquitos. Students who might prefer to meet on Tuesday nights can attend the Sandpipers Square Dance Club classes at the La Colonia Community Cen-

ter, 715 Valley Avenue in Solana Beach. Those classes start Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. In addition to teaching classes and holding monthly dances, the Wranglers also participate in community events, and do demonstrations to bring others into the activity. The club is run by a volunteer board of officers. The current presidents are Mary Sundberg Whealdon and John Coffin. The Wranglers are an affiliate of the Palomar Square Dance Association, http://palomarsda.org More information can be found at: www.TheWranglers. org and www.Facebook.com/WranglersSquareDanceClub

Healing food: A culinary ode to TV mob boss Tony Soprano The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “If someone were sick, my inclination would be to send over a pastina and ricotta. It’s healing food.” ~ Carmela Soprano, Tony’s wife A devoted Sopranophile, I never missed an episode, and grieved when the HBO hit series was put to bed after a good run of eight years, creating a void in my TV life. I was shocked when I heard that James Gandolfini, the Emmy award-winning actor who played Tony Soprano, the notorious mob boss with a soft side (along with an alarming girth, especially in the dangerous belly area), had suffered a

heart attack and died at just 51. Perhaps we all need a little healing food right now, but mine, unlike Carmela’s is heart healing. Antipasto ahoy This Italian appetizer platter, which literally translates to “before the meal,” is typically an assortment of marinated olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, cheeses (gorgonzola, provolone) and meats (salami, cappicola -- a fatty deli type of ham, and prosciutto). A healthier riff on this traditional dish would include swapping out the arteryclogging cheeses and meats for lighter, cholesterolfriendlier goat or feta, or a seafood medley of steamed and chilled calamari rings, wild caught shrimp and deep-sea scallops with a tangy cocktail sauce. Put a hit on carnivorous offerings Tony Soprano was quite the carnivorous grill meister, firing up the trusty old Weber and charring everything from fatty Italian sausages (salsiccia) and pork chops to burgers and rib eyes. How about grilling some lean, protein rife chicken breasts, skinless, of course, since the

skin packs the highest concentration of fat. Spaghetti and meatballs or Bolognese sauce can be made with leaner, healthier ground chicken, turkey or fish instead of beef and pork. As an alternative main dish, you can poach or grill a fillet of omega-3 rich wildcaught salmon with an almond crust for an extra boost of omega-3’s and heart-friendly mono and polyunsaturated fats. Cheese and carb control This doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself of your beloved pastas, breads and pizza dishes. Just rejigger and slim down the recipes. Swap out Alfredo sauce for olive oil and garlic or marinara, mozzarella on pizzas and calzones, zitis and lasagnas for feta or goat cheeses. Try nutty whole-wheat pastas, and breads, especially on Tony’s favorite sandwich — Gabagool (cappicola ham). Don’t get fried Tony Soprano loved fried foods, including Carmela’s famous eggplant, veal and chicken parm. According to Dr. Mehemet Oz, “fatty and fried foods cause spasms in blood vessels, which limit

EXPERT

blood flow for six hours, at which point we often have another fatty meal.” So where possible, cut out or limit fried foods, and oven-bake as a healthier option. Take it with a small grain of salt Dial up your favorite Italian dishes without a heavy-handed saltshaker since salt can cause a hike in blood pressure in some people. Use plenty of herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, Italian parsley along with lemon which has the magical ability of making everything taste salty without adding sodium, and, of course, cholesterol-lowering garlic. Salute Drink to good heart health with a glass of red wine containing a flavonoid called resveratrol (found in the skin of red grapes) that has been linked to anti-clotting and other healthful boons. While the Soprano clan did enjoy their vino, Tony also indulged in his fattening and favorite libation (with no other health benefits) — Glenlivet, a single malt scotch whisky.

Just desserts When it came to sweets, Tony Soprano knew how to pack away some angioplasty-worthy desserts from tiramisu and gelato to cannoli and Zabaglione (an Italian soft wine custard). Better choices include hearthealthy dark chocolate treats (70% or higher cocoa content) such as, chocolate chip biscotti with resveratrol and cocoa phenols (flavonoids) to lower blood pressure and end the meal on a high. Or refreshing and low fat Italian ices, while a bowl of fresh berries with a balsamic drizzle beats them all. Beans, beans, good for your heart Pasta fazool is an Italian country-style soup stew, a high fiber, low fat operatic veggie feast of pasta and beans. Although many regional variations, I’m using the treasured version that my friend’s mom, a sweet lady from the village of Vomero Naples has kindly shared with me. It’s delicioso. Pasta Fazool for Wiseguys and Wise Eaters 8 ounces uncooked cannellini beans 8 ounces ditallini pasta 1 28 ounce can of diced

CROSSWORD

The Caregivers’ Journey: Expecting thanks might disappoint you By Marsha Kay Seff The other day when my friend visited her 88-year-old mother in her retirement home and told her – again — that she couldn’t live on chocolate alone, her mom gave her “the finger.” Not funny after all Jane had done for her mom, including invit- Marsha Kay Seff ing her into her home for two years, then finding her a succession of appropriate retirement facilities as needed. But I did laugh when I heard the story. Much of caregiving is frustrating and unrewarding. Often, it’s just plain tough. And we’re certainly not always appreciated for our efforts. None of us adult children had the luxury of sitting down and deciding whether we wanted the job. It just landed on our plates. But take on the job we did – some more graciously than others. And I suspect that many envy siblings who choose not to pitch in. Family caregivers do this often thankless job for an assortment of reasons. We believe we owe it to our parents. We feel responsible for them, because someone needs to be. We’d feel guilty if we didn’t step in. Many see the job as an honor. If we’re lucky, we love our parents and really want to help. And if we’re very lucky,

we find some pleasure, satisfaction and joy in the job. When I first started caring for my parents, my mom and I argued a lot. Eventually, I realized that as long as I was doing the job, it didn’t make sense for both of us to be miserable. This aha moment made things easier for both of us most of the time. Sure, mom resented the fact that she’d lost much of her independence and was increasingly dependent on me for her health and welfare. But because of the inevitability, we tried to see the positives. I made sure we had fun when we were together. When I had to make a decision she didn’t like, we both tried to laugh about it: “I’m still the mother,” she used to say. “Yes, but I get the big bucks for making the big decisions,” I answered. “Besides, I’m always right.” If you’re as fortunate as I was, you’re able to enjoy parts of this rollercoaster journey. You might get to know your parents better. You might even garner some insight into why you ended up the way you have. In the end, you’ll probably be satisfied that you did your best. Like me, your parents might tell you how much you’re loved and appreciated. You might never get “the finger.” Sponsored by Right at Home In-Home Care & Assistance, www.rahencinitas.com, (619) 200-2110, alex@rahencinitas.com. Contact Marsha Kay Seff at mkseff@gmail.com.

Your Family Matters: Raising assertive children BY DR. KEITH KANNER Assertiveness is the capacity to comfortably communicate one’s feelings and intentions in a positive and confident manner. Once a child has established the capacity to rely on themselves age apDr. Keith Kanner propriately and demonstrate consideration for another, assertion has to do with how a child then communicates themselves to others. Assertiveness is based on healthy selfesteem and an internal conviction that the child has a purpose. Such mental strengths supply the child with comfort in letting others know how they feel and what they want. Absent are frequent temper tantrums or passivity. Instead is a firm and clear expression of needs and desires. Assertive children tend to do well in school, have many friends, and infrequently get bullied. They tend to be leaders, intelligent, and likable. Being assertive is not being selfish. Rather, it is an expression of self-love and a representation of being their own person. When assertiveness is practiced, compromise is possible. Take two children who want to both play different games. Each of them conveys their desire to the other in direct and clear ways. The outcome is the decision to take turns and play both games. Respect is then achieved for each of the players. Parents help children learn assertiveness in two basic ways. First, the parent models being assertive with their own children by holding their child accountable for themselves and, second, by validating and respecting the child’s attempts to be asser-

tive. When 5-year-old Billy told his mom that he could tuck himself in bed at night, despite her longing for that continued ritual, she let him put himself to bed and Billy felt like a really “big” boy. Practicing assertiveness with peers is an invaluable part of character development and assertive children are the least susceptible to peer pressure. They are comfortable saying “no.” Children who lack adequate assertiveness tend to be either too aggressive or too passive. In extreme cases, this can lead to embedded personality traits. For example, children who have impulse disorders, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, have assertiveness failures. The either “act out” or control others as a means of getting their needs met. On the other end of the spectrum, are the “passive-dependent” children. Afraid of their own feelings and behaviors, they “give in” to others and allow themselves to be manipulated. This is the most common type of child who gets bullied. Teaching children how to speak up for themselves is one of the most important virtues a parent can do. Work with your child on assertiveness skills. It’s well worth the effort. 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.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Ask the Plastic Surgeons By Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD Q. Is it really necessary to wear sunscreen every day? A. Yes. Applying sunscreen every day, particularly during the summer months, can make a significant difference in preventing wrinkles. It’s easy to omit putting on sunscreen lotion from time to time, but a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reports that daily applications of sunscreen can make a significant difference in the appearance of your skin. Researchers assembled a group of individuals under the age of 55 and had them apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to their arms, hands, neck and face every morning after bathing, after spending more than a few hours in direct sunlight, or after perspiring heavily. Another group was asked to apply sunscreen “at their discretion”. To act as a control group, some participants were given placebo pills or daily B-carotene supplements on a daily basis. These researchers took impressions of the back of the participants’ hands at the beginning of the study and again 4.5 years later. The impressions showed microscopic changes in the skin, including signs of aging. According to the Wall Street Journal, the individuals who used sunscreen on a frequent basis showed 24 percent less skin aging compared to the participants who were allowed to apply sunscreen lotion at their own discretion. We have always recommended to our patients that sunscreen be applied liberally throughout the year, especially those who reside in Southern California where our practice is located. Regardless of age, even

tic surgeons dually certified in plastic and reconstructive surgery as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery. The practice has over 20 years of tenure in the industry and each is individually board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Any of the physicians can provide consultations on plastic surgery procedures and/or laser and skincare treatments at their Laser and Skincare Center and can be reached at their offices on the campus of Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla in the Ximed Medical Building by calling (858) 587-9850 or via the web at sandiegoplastiscurgeryclinic. com.

To Your Health: 10 essential nutrients for a healthy pregnancy Wendell Smoot, MD, Reza Sadrian, MD, Carol Hollan, MD and John Smoot, MD those who have not historically included sunscreen lotion in their daily regimen can benefit from utilizing it to prevent further sun damage. If patients have sun spots on their face and hands, we often recommend a laser skin procedure to minimize the appearance of these spots and smooth fine wrinkles on the skin. Those who have deep wrinkles on their face can benefit from dermal fillers or a facelift. A less-invasive facelift (such as a Freshlift that we offer in our office) might be an option, which has less downtime. Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your needs. John Smoot, MD, is the former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Scripps Memorial Hospital-La Jolla and Wendell Smoot, MD, has been voted by his peers as Top Doctor in San Diego for five consecutive years. Carol Hollan, MD, is San Diego’s first female board-certified plastic surgeon while Reza Sadrian, MD, is one of very few plas-

BY STEVEN PRATT, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH When you’re pregnant, anything that you feed yourself also feeds your fetus. A growing body of evidence shows that nourishment during pregnancy will significantly affect the short and long-term health of the baby. In addition to the right types and amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients (natural chemicals found in a variety of plant foods) are important to healthy development. The following ten nutrients are essential for a healthy pregnancy and recommended for every mom-to-be: 1. Vitamin A is essential for renal, pulmonary and cardiovascular health, as well as vision, immunity and production of red blood cells. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for pregnant women age 19 and older is 770 micrograms; good sources include eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, dark leafy greens, pumpkin, sweet potato, and carrots. 2. Vitamin B12 is very important to the production and metabolism of amino acids, which are organic compounds that combine to form proteins and are key to growth, tissue repair and a number of other body functions. In addition, this B vitamin helps with energy production from fats and proteins, hemoglobin synthesis, pancreatic function and the prevention of neural tube defects. The RDA for pregnant women is 2.6 micrograms; good sources include clams, mussels, crab, sardines, salmon, grass-fed beef and nonfat yogurt. 3. Vitamin C is the “master” antioxidant vitamin. Along with protecting against environmental toxins and supporting other antioxidants, vitamin C is required for optimum brain development and immune function. The RDA for pregnant women age 19 and older is 85 milligrams; good sources include bell peppers (especially red and yellow), guava, orange juice, papaya, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, broccoli, and cantaloupe. 4. Vitamin D is important for both mother and baby; low levels during pregnancy has been linked to gestational diabetes, while babies who lack enough vitamin D may have a greater risk of developing rickets, a disease that causes soft, weak bones The RDA for pregnant women is 600 international units (IU); good sources include cod liver oil, wild Alaskan salmon, albacore tuna, shrimp, and vitamin D-fortified milk, soy milk and orange juice. 5. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting and cell growth, as well as prevention of osteoporosis and heart disease. The RDA for pregnant women is 90 micrograms; good sources include raw kale, Swiss chard, parsley and spinach (cooking can destroy vitamin K), as well as soybean and canola oil. 6. Calcium is a major building block for bones and teeth and supports the proper function of blood vessels, muscles, nerves, hormones and more. It also supports many of the body’s proteins and enzymes. The RDA for pregnant women age 19 and older is 1,000 milligrams; good sources include cheddar cheese, milk, yogurt, tofu, white beans, bok choy, kale and broccoli. 7. Folate helps to regulate amino acids, support the formation of DNA and RNA, prevent neural tube defects and support the pancreas, renal and brain cells. The RDA for pregnant women is 600 micrograms; good sources include lentils, beans (pinto, garbanzo, navy, black and kidney), spinach, collard greens and orange juice. 8. Iron is essential for oxygen transport, cellular energy production, immunity and more. Pregnant women transfer the most iron to the fetus during the third trimester, so iron is especially important toward the final months of pregnancy. The RDA for pregnant women is 27 milligrams; good sources include tofu, bran cereal with raisins, soybeans, quinoa, grass-fed lean beef tenderloin, lentils, spinach and kidney beans. 9. Magnesium plays a role in many functions, including energy production from carbohydrates and fats, the structural integrity of bones, cell membranes and chromosomes, muscle contractions, nerve impulses, heart rhythm and control of blood pressure and blood sugar. The RDA for pregnant women age 19 to 30 is 310 milligrams; for women age 31 and older, it is 320 milligrams. Good sources include pumpkin seeds, spinach, Swiss chard, soybeans, green beans, wild Chinook salmon, sunflower seeds and oat bran. 10. Zinc, like magnesium, is key to multiple functions including renal, cardiovascular, pancreas, neurological and immunity. The RDA for pregnant women is 60 micrograms daily. Recommended sources include Pacific oysters, Brazil nuts, crab, salmon, shrimp, turkey breast, sunflower seeds, brown rice and eggs. Of course, every woman’s individual needs are different. Discuss your specific nutritional needs with your physician and obstetrician, and consider consulting a nutritionist to help you develop the ideal dietary plan for your pregnancy.
