Boundary changes will bring more students to RSF

Providing The Ranch with Three Decades of Quality Journalism

‘Animal Magic’ at RSF Library

BY KAREN BILLING At the June 25 Solana Beach School District board meeting, the board tweaked attendance boundaries for residents in the Rancho Pacifica (Del Mar Highlands Estates), Polo Club and Morgan Run (Whispering Palms) developments. The changes will be implemented in the 2013-14 school year. The last time the boundary map was changed was in 2004 when Solana Pacific School opened. “We wanted to clean up our district map,” Brown said of the reason behind the change. Currently nine students in the Rancho Pacifica neighborhood have a flexible option to attend Skyline and Solana Vista. Effective fall 2013-14, the attendance for this neighborhood will be assigned to Solana Santa Fe School in the Fairbanks Ranch area. Residents in Polo Club and Morgan Run used to have an attendance option of Skyline, Solana Vista or Solana Santa Fe. Starting 2013-14, the assignment for the neighborhood will be Solana Santa Fe. About 27 students reside in these areas and 22 of them are already attending Solana Santa Fe. Brown said most of the students with an option living in these communities already attend Solana Santa Fe and the travel path to the school just makes more sense for the residents.

BY JOE TASH A Florida man who bilked a retired Rancho Santa Fe couple, their son and daughter, and dozens of other victims out of millions of dollars in a Ponzi scheme has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. George Elia, 69, was sentenced June 12 by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams. His co-defendant, James “Jim” Ellis, described

by victims as a recruiter for Elia’s fraudulent investment scheme, was earlier given a 38-month sentence. The legal proceedings took place in South Florida. According to businessman and investor Michael Imbesi, whose parents, Peter and Marlene Imbesi, live in Rancho Santa Fe, the family lost nearly $4 million to Elia, which they have not recovered. Over a six-year period beginning in 2005, Imbesi invested See SENTENCED, page 20

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Accomplished career comes full circle for former state legislator Dede Alpert who continues to focus on education BY JOE TASH Throughout her adult life, education has always been a focus for Dede Alpert. She volunteered at her three daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schools, served on the Solana Beach school district board and during 14 years as a state legislator, she worked on bills that developed a master plan for K-12 education in California and improved school accountability. Since she left the state Senate in 2004 due to term limits, the 67-year-old Fairbanks Ranch resident has continued her work in education, serving on the board of a charter school in Southeast San Diego, and most recently, brainstorming about creating a new organization to promote and support educational excellence across school district lines in San Diego County. For the past six months, a committee including Alpert, county schools Superintendent Randy Ward, former Solana Beach Superintendent Leslie Faussett, Judy McDonald of the Parker Foundation and Paula Cordeiro, dean of education at the University of San Diego, has been meeting to discuss the feasibility of launching the â&#x20AC;&#x153;San Diego Center for Education Excellence.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a dream, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exploring,â&#x20AC;? Alpert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to come together, I think it could be very beneficial for the region.â&#x20AC;? The group would raise money for educational programs from local and national sources, such as grants and donations, and use the money to support educational initiatives, Alpert said. The center might commission research, or look to expand and replicate programs that have proved successful at individual schools. The center would also serve as a clearinghouse, so that educators across the region could learn about successful programs at other schools and school districts. School officials are enthusiastic about the idea, Alpert said, and now the committee is trying to find out if businesses and philanthropic organizations will also come on board.

Dede Alpert During their research, the working committee has studied similar organizations in Texas, Oregon and Pennsylvania, she said. Alpert, a Democrat, spent six years in the state Assembly and eight in the Senate. Among her achievements was legislation that established the Academic Performance Index for California schools, which created benchmarks for individual schools and school districts based on standardized tests. The annual API scores are intended to encourage schools to improve their ranking each year, Alpert said. Rankings for individual schools and districts are published online each year, where parents and students

can see them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made a difference, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an improvement,â&#x20AC;? Alpert said. While the debate has continued over how much testing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in which grades â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is appropriate for students, Alpert said standardized tests do provide valuable information to educators, parents and students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would still argue that things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measured arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid attention to,â&#x20AC;? she said. Alpert, who was known as a moderate who could work with colleagues across party lines, said she has watched with dismay in recent years as the political atmosphere in both Sacramento and Washington has become more polarized. Compromise is essential to the political process, she said, and noted that during her time in the state Legislature, she worked with Republicans on such legislation as after-school care for children and free community college tuition for military spouses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrealistic to expect to get 100 percent of what

you want, whether in the Legislature, or in life, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just have to accept youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making progress and moving things along.â&#x20AC;? She said she is hopeful that recent changes such as Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open primary, in which two Democrats or two Republicans could face off in general elections, and allowing state legislators to serve a total of 12 years in either chamber, will have a moderating influence. Alpert said her career has now come full circle, beginning with involvement

in Girl Scouts, recreational sports and schools, then transitioning to the Legislature, and now back to volunteer positions in education. She has no plans to re-enter politics, instead preferring to travel with her husband, Michael, a retired attorney, play golf and spend time with her extended family, including three daughters and five grandsons, all of whom live in San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time in my life itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice mix for me,â&#x20AC;? she said.

RSF Rotary Club to present â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Taste of Rancho Santa Fe, Fine Food and Wine Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club will host an extraordinary fine wine and food tasting event with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local charities. Past events have raised funds for the Rotary Military Fund, Casa de Amparo, The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center, Kids Korp, Angel Faces, Mira Costa College and dozens other worthy local causes.

Local author shares story of freedom at RSF Library

Frank Iszak, Ken Tachibana

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Frank Iszak will join millions of Americans in celebrating his freedom on Independence Day. But his freedom didn’t come easy. During a recent talk at the Rancho Santa Fe LiJan Clark, Kathy Henry brary, the 82-year-old recalled how he and six others hijacked a commercial airliner on July 13, 1956, to escape to freedom from behind the Iron Curtain. “Freedom,” Iszak said, was the word used most in newspaper articles to describe what he and the others, ages 19 to 25, sought. “There was not a word Alan Balfour, Paulette Britton

Nina Norden

Neil and June Ash Susan Appleby, Frank Iszak, Serpil Iszak

about hijacking,” said Iszak of the news coverage. “That was the very first hijacking of a commercial airline to escape the terrorism of communism. Unfortunately, during the years and the decades that followed, hijacking became a tool of terror instead of a tool to escape terror.” Though just 25 years old at the time, Iszak recalled the events as if they had just taken place rather than more than 50 years ago. As co-architect of the takeover, Iszak said he and the other members of the group knew they would be killed if their plan to flee Communist-controlled Hungary had failed. Still, he said he had been a “slave” in his native country for far too long. “I’d rather die than live like that,” said Iszak, who details his escape in his memoir, “Free for All to Freedom.” Although he knew he wouldn’t return, Iszak said goodbye to his parents on the day of the hijacking and said he would be home for Christmas. That was the last time Iszak saw them, and he never learned what happened to them. “I was the only child,” Iszak said. “They loved me;

they loved me beyond what I deserved. I loved them very deeply.” After subduing the plane’s crew, the seven students, including Iszak and his 19-year-old wife at the time, flew without any communications until landing at an airfield. At the time, the group did not know where they had landed, but a vehicle approached the plane. Cradling his wife’s head in his lap, Iszak reached for his gun and placed it at the back of her neck. Barely breathing and with a broken leg, his wife shifted in and out of consciousness. “I closed my eyes and I prayed to God for strength and forgiveness,” Iszak said. “Strength to pull the trigger if I had to because if it’s East Germany or Czechoslovakia, I’d just as well save her from being raped, tortured and killed, and myself as well.” When the vehicle finally stopped, Iszak noticed a flag, as small as his hand, flying atop the Jeep. “It was the Stars and Stripes,” he recalled with tears in his eyes. Iszak dropped the gun. “At that moment, after 25 years of slavery and death, I was born as a free man.” The plane had landed at

a NATO airfield in West Germany, about 80 miles from the Czechoslovakian border. Iszak and the six others requested asylum. Iszak immigrated to the U.S. in 1957 and became a citizen in 1962. He has worked as a chemist, journalist, publisher and private investigator. In 2003, along with his wife, Serpil, he founded Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach, a charitable foundation that provides free yoga classes to underserved seniors. (They also own Rhythm Yoga and Dance studio in the Del Rayo Shopping Center in Rancho Santa Fe.) Based on his book, a movie called “Freedom Flight” is currently in development. Iszak hopes his story will serve as a reminder that “freedom is never free.” “There’s always going to be Hitlers, there’s always going to be [communist leader Mátyás] Rákosis,” Iszak said. “It’s your job to not let it happen, and you’re not doing a very good job at it.” For more information about the film, visit www. freedomplane.com.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local women role models promote success at WIST Conference BY GLORIA LIMAS AN Entrepreneurism was one of the focus topics at this year’s Women In Science and Technology (WIST) conference held at the UCSD Faculty Club recently. Many local residents were among the event’s 300-plus attendees. A large percentage of participants come from the science, business and technology fields. The conference was presented by the local Association for Women in Science (AWIS) chapter which is the largest in the nation. The theme “Aspire, Attain, Ascend” was prevalent throughout the speeches and panel discussions. It was this type of function that led local entrepreneur Kim Lim to found her company, Ultimate Labs, five years ago. Lim served as a speaker at the WIST conference, sharing her trials and tribulations of starting your own business and the challenges women face in the world of entrepreneurism. She says her company has doubled yearly revenue from the onset and is currently in expansion mode, seeking to increase its facility size and expand its service offerings. Her microbiology laboratory is dedicated to helping save lives by providing environmental monitoring and microbial water and food testing to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and food industries. Ultimate Labs offers assistance in compliance and risk assessment, allowing companies to make better business decisions about product safety. When asked by conference participants if women face more challenges than men when starting their own business, Lim replied, “Traditionally, most women scientists are more comfortable doing the technical work and leaving the business acumen to the males who eventually move onto management. However, times are now changing with more women pursuing higher education in the form of master and Ph.D. degrees. They get their MBAs, understand how the business works, then start their own. The challenges are different, especially in science and technology, amongst the genders. I do believe there is a lack of women entrepreneurs. Conferences such as WIST allow bright and innovative women to challenge themselves and realize that the risk is well worth the reward.” Speakers noted the obvious increase in female-owned local biotech businesses over the course of the last decade. They agree conferences like WIST ignite imagination and inspire women to pursue business ventures. Local business development consultant Jack Kelly, a principal at the Corlea Group, said, “WIST, I believe, goes beyond ‘girl power,’ it goes to wom-

They see the opportunities and understand they don’t have to agree to the traditional industry barriers. What I see from a consulting perspective is a high degree of ambition and the willingness to collaborate. I think this is perhaps the most powerful factor. There is a distinctive difference between the traditional male and female model of leadership in that there is much more collaboration amongst women. This is a proactive group, not a reactive group.” Members concluded that the stereotypical image of the “male scientist” is slowing transitioning to include more women on the team. Jacqueline Bergseid, a local scientist along with her husband, shared a thought-provoking gender story. She said her twin 7-year-old children, a boy and girl, innocently showed the typical gender career stereotype during a casual conversation. She said, “My daughter vocally expressed interest in being a scientist when she grows up and my son immediately shot her down saying he would be better at being a scientist since he was a boy and she a girl, of course implying that males are more fit for this profession.” She says these views are formed from

the media and role models currently available in society. Adding, “I can’t draw lipstick on Galileo!” The attendees, speakers and panelists help change this stereotype, empowering females of all ages. Conference speaker and serial entrepreneur Barbara Bry is passionate about leveling the playing field for females in business, health care and politics. She is the founder of Athena, a life sciences organization. Bry said, “Role models along with mentors for women are critical for growth in the science and technology fields. Other guideposts for success include networking, being open to change, adapting and supporting fellow women in business endeavors.” UCSD’s Associate Dean of Engineering Jeanne Ferrante, said, “There have been studies conducted to show how the presence of females on scientific teams provides a diverse viewpoint leading to a higher percentage of success for programs and companies.” More information can be found at www.awissd.org

County property values up overall BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The combined value of almost 982,000 assessed properties in San Diego County rose 3 percent last year to $408.8 billion, the county Assessor/Recorder/Clerk’s office announced June 27. Minus various exemptions and deductions — such as for properties owned by charities — the total taxable value will be $393 billion. The 1 percent property tax should generate about $3.9 billion in revenue, county Assessor/Recorder/Clerk Ernest Dronenberg Jr. said. “The improved residential market required our office to partially or totally restore temporarily reduced values as the market value on many properties exceeded the values calculated pursuant to Prop. 13,’’ Dronenberg said. “In addition, we experienced positive change in ownership and new construction activity.’’ He said all 18 cities in the county experienced property value growth, with Del Mar having the largest climb at 6.8 percent. The assessed value of the properties was as of Jan. 1, 2013. The growth since New Year’s Day 2012 was $13.6 billion, according to Dronenberg. Property tax notices will be sent in the middle of next month, he said.

All are welcome — RSF residents and guests, and friends and guests in neighboring communities. This year’s “Future Legends” tournament is sponsored by Dan Green to honor his beloved wife, Flo Green, an active member of the community and Ladies Golf Club for 26 years. For those who knew her, Flo was a dynamic and special lady, admired by everyone who knew her, a friend to all, and a very spirited golfing member of the RSF Golf Club. Flo would give her forever smile, encouraging your generous contribution to such a deserving cause. The day promises a lot of fun with a friendly tournament golfing format, box lunch, putting contest; and all followed by dinner and dancing to the lively music of Nancarrow. The Chuck Courtney Honorary Scholarship Fund was created in 2012 by friends and members of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club to honor Chuck’s devotion to the game of golf and his support, mentoring and encouragement of local young golfers. Chuck Courtney, currently Pro Emeritus at RSF Golf Club, was Head Pro at RSF Golf Club for 21 years and is most often seen these days on the driving range with his students. Two scholarships are awarded each year to two local high school seniors and active participants with San Diego’s Pro Kids, with the hope to increase that number of students as additional funds are raised. The students must be Honor Scholars, active in their local high schools, and assist in charitable endeavors, as well as being active in golf. This year’s scholarship awards are going to Eugene Yang and Said Shaba. Both will be joining the festivities at the golf tournament on July 22 to thank the RSF friends and neighbors for this important scholarship opportunity. Also attending will be Steven Sakara, one of last year’s scholarship award winners. Steven is now attending Baylor University with a major in biology and also has goals to go on to medical school.

Triathlete Tanja Canter runs at the World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.

Businesswoman, mother overcomes adversity to become top triathlete BY GLORIA LIMAS AN Local resident Tanja Canter has become an extraordinary name in the world of triathlons. The UCSD graduate has achieved so much in such a short time span. It was just four years ago when she entered her first competition called the Spring Sprint. It includes a 500-meter swim in Mission Bay, a 12-mile bike and a 5K run. This year, she was the overall Women’s Champion in the highly competitive Fearless Triathlon held in San Diego, which includes five segments: swimming, biking, running, then another biking and running portion. Canter is a mother of two, a triathlete and a businesswoman. Canter is also the first to admit that before her first triathlon she had never run more than a mile, never ridden a race bike and swam only with her kids for fun. “I didn’t even have the proper gear!” she says. Canter is an avid equestrian and horse owner who suffered a tragic riding accident in 2009 which she says served as a wakeup call for her. The horse she was riding fell on top of her, breaking four ribs and puncturing a lung. “I was in the hospital for over a month and the doctor told me that being fit and strong helped save my life,” Canter said. “It was at that moment that I realized being healthy and in shape was for more than competitions, it was for everyday existence.” The eye-opening experience made her pursue her passion of triathlons even more. Over the course of the past few years she has won the Tri Rock Triathlon’s Women’s Overall Inaugural Race, which is put on by the founders of the well known Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. It is held in downtown San Diego’s waterfront by the Convention Center. Canter’s most recent competition was the California State 40K Time Trial Championships bike race. She says there are so many triathlons held in San Diego that there is virtually one held every weekend. Canter considers herself an amateur versus the professionals who make the sport a full-time commitment Canter plans to compete at the World Sprint Championships in London this September as she did last year when they were held in New Zealand. Entry selection is made a year prior. She qualified for this year’s U.S. team at nationals last year placing 4th and 7th in two divisions. Canter’s goals include hoping to someday be in the Top 3 in the country when qualifying for nationals and being a Top 10 finalist at the World

Tanja Canter cycles at the California State 40K Time Trial Championships. competition. With two children, a son who is 9 years old and a daughter who is 7, Canter says her toughest challenge by far is having a balanced life as a single mom and triathlete. “I try to do my training in the morning when the kids are in school so that I spend the rest of my time with them. I like that my daughter likes to sprint with me.” She adds that because her races begin so early in the morning she has yet to have her children at an event but she hopes to have them at the finish line one day as she crosses. Canter has an inspirational message for women who may be thinking of competing or simply completing a triathlon. “For me it’s a lifestyle sport to keep you healthy. You can do it to participate and finish or to compete in the circuit.” She says it’s never too late to start with the sport. “The great thing is that you can do any level you choose to.” She adds that she started later in life although some athletes she knows have been competing in triathlons for over two decades. “It just makes you feel good about yourself and what you can accomplish.” She adds that with marathons all you do is run, with swimming competitions all you do is swim and the same for biking, but with triathlons you can mix it up and be more balanced, which is great for overall health. Canter began her own personal training business as a result of her competitions. She says that while working out at the gym people would ask if she was a personal trainer. This inspired her to start Leg Up Personal Training. She is a certified personal trainer, triathlon coach and Tri Club of San Diego Bike Coach.

TPHS graduate Danny Ochoa to play in 2013 Wyndham Cup at The Bridges When The Wyndham Cup tees off at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe on July 15, one San Diegan will be on the roster. The American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) has named 36 of 40 players to represent the East or West, with the final four spots to be filled next week. Among the 20 junior golfers representing the West is Danny Ochoa, a 2013 graduate of Torrey Pines High School. Ochoa is ranked No. 12 in the AJGA’s Polo Golf Rankings and has claimed seven top-15 finishes in national competition. He was a member of the two-time CIF/SCGA Championship team while at Torrey Pines.

The West holds a 129-2 edge in the all-time series, which dates back to 1990. The Bridges Club is currently ranked as the best in San Diego and the 15th among top golf venues in California by Golf Digest magazine. In January, the practice facility was honored as one of the “Top 50 Ranges” for a private facility in the United States by the Golf Range Association of America.

RSF coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rawhide Ranch celebrates 50 years of horse camps for kids BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Maya Tantuwayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse retired from polo riding, the 13-year-old decided to donate him to her â&#x20AC;&#x153;second home.â&#x20AC;? Now many children, including Tantuway, will get to ride and care for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golosoâ&#x20AC;? when they visit Rawhide Ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Rawhide,â&#x20AC;? said Tantuwaya, an active polo player at the San Diego Polo Club in Rancho Santa Fe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know everybody else will love riding him.â&#x20AC;? The Bonsall-based horse camp, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, offers summer and winter camps, as well as school and youth group programs throughout the year. Tantuwaya has been a camper for six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very family-friendly,â&#x20AC;? said Kristen Tantuwaya, Mayaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The counselors are very hands-on with the kids. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved; they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit back. They make the kids feel welcome.â&#x20AC;? At Rawhide, children ages 7-15 learn about and interact with the roughly 80 horses and 100 livestock. Nationally accredited by the American Camp Association and Certified Horsemanship Association, Rawhide also offers campers riding, vaulting archery and roping lessons, as well as drama, creative writing, arts and crafts, and other activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We show kids the value of being outside, getting dirty and being entertained in nature, not just with electronics,â&#x20AC;? said Rancho Santa Fe resident Melisse Mossy, a managing partner of Rawhide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting outside, making new friends and doing things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done before. In Southern California, a lot of kids think you have to go far away to have an adventure, an experience, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true. It really is in our backyard.â&#x20AC;? Mossy and her husband, Jason Mossy, recently became co-managing partners of Rawhide, seven years after she visited the ranch for the first time with her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girl Scout troop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the first time I saw Rawhide and I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it existed,â&#x20AC;? Mossy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an amazing oasis in the middle of LA, Orange and San Diego counties. I was really impressed with it. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain it, but when I went to Rawhide, I just felt it was a part of us, and we were a part of it.â&#x20AC;? The Mossy family became co-managing partners with the goal of establishing a board of directors and helping Rawhide become a nonprofit organization, Mossy said. Rawhide currently provides scholarships and payment plans for campers, but Mossy hopes to raise $500,000 in pledges to offer even more financial assistance to underprivileged youth and families.

boy western experience.â&#x20AC;? With camps already in session, Tantuwaya is looking forward to returning to the western-themed ranch in August and reuniting with her friends and 22-year-old horse. Although she has a couple years left to be a camper, Tantuwaya already has plans to apply for Rawhideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Counselor in Training program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rawhide has become like my second home,â&#x20AC;? Tantuwaya said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to stay there for as long as I can.â&#x20AC;? Mossy said that those interested in providing a summer camp opportunity for a child of need can make tax deductible donations through the American Camp Association. No amount of assistance is too small, she said. Contact Melisse Mossy at melisse@rawhideranch.com for more information.

Breast cancer survivor raising funds with team participating in Komen 3-Day walk for third time BY DIANE Y. WELCH Debbie Feinberg, a longtime local resident and a cancer survivor, has strong community ties, deep gratitude for her health and is motivated to give back. She expresses these three aspects of her life through her involvement with the Susan G. Komen nonprofit organization. Plans are already under way for the annual Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk that will take place Nov. 15 through 17 when participants will undertake a 60-mile route through San Diego. Feinberg will head up a local team of six walkers that has already raised $20,000. This is their third walk with funds collected benefitting research to help find a cure for breast cancer. Feinberg is preparing for the bold undertaking through physical training and also through the still fresh memory of her own diagnosis which came six years ago, one which makes her more determined in her quest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months prior to my di-

agnosis, and we had never experienced breast cancer in our family,â&#x20AC;? recalled Feinberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then when my diagnosis was made, through routine mammography, just weeks before my eldest was to be married, I was shocked.â&#x20AC;? Her cancer was identified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;calcificationsâ&#x20AC;? which meant, due to multiple locations, that a mastectomy of her right breast was needed. Chemotherapy was followed by breast reconstruction and a prophylactic mastectomy of the left breast to avoid future cancer growth. Reconstruction was completed by July 2008. Feinberg and her husband, Bob, kept the news of that initial diagnosis to themselves, agreeing to enjoy their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imminent wedding. Looking back it was a good decision, said Feinberg, and made the couple realize how fortunate they were to have family and happy times to celebrate. Being cancer free, for both Feinberg and her mother, was a cause for further celebration. To mark

Debbie and Bob Feinberg her good health, Feinberg participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sixty miles is no easy task, and I lost at least two toenails at the end of the event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it was nothing

compared to those going through chemotherapy or radiation treatments,â&#x20AC;? Feinberg said. Inspired by the outreach of Susan G. Komen, and because of their com-

munity involvement, the Feinbergs have been able to reach out to friends and neighbors in raising funds for those less fortunate through their newly founded nonprofit, The Feinberg Youth Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking for a way to give back in a longer, more permanent way. This foundation represents the culmination of our passion for, and our gratitude to, our community,â&#x20AC;? said Feinberg. The goal of the foundation is to provide mini grants to youths, 21 years or younger, to financially support their endeavors in the arts or athletics through programs offered at the YMCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some families the $50 a month membership fee is beyond their reach so we are able to provide that,â&#x20AC;? Feinberg said. The Feinbergs met at a YMCA camp in Pacific Palisades almost 40 years ago and attended UCLA together. They moved to Carmel Valley from the Los Angeles area in 1989, raising two children who are now 24 and 29 years old. Bob currently teaches

Red Circle Foundation fills financial gap for special operations families • Foundation to hold fundraising gala July 26 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Nearly two years after losing their son, the family of U.S. Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn is still struggling financially. Billy Vaughn missed work off and on for months after his son was killed in August 2011 when the helicopter he and 29 other American troops were in was shot down in Afghanistan. As the owner of a small trucking business, Vaughn now schedules fewer hauling trips so he can spend more time with his wife. “I’m not making the money that I made before we lost our son, so we just don’t have the money that we used to have,” Vaughn said. “I just don’t hit it as hard as I used to because I don’t like to stay away from home as much as I used to. The loss of a child just changes your perspective.” When his work truck recently broke down in Virginia, nearly 900 miles from his home in Florida, Vaughn turned to the Red Circle Foundation for help with the repair costs. The Red Circle Foundation provides financial support to special operations families in need. “The amount it was going to take to fix the truck was actually more money than my wife and I had,” Vaughn said. “It was unexpected and I was unprepared. I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t been for the Red Circle Foundation.” Since its launch in 2012, the Red Circle Foundation has donated more than $27,000 to assist special operations families like the Vaughn family. “Our vision was of an organization that would provide peace of mind for the families when faced with the loss of a special operator,” said Executive Director Maryke Webb. “Our core objective is to provide relief

Courtesy photos during what is unquestionably the most difficult period in these families’ lives and ease the financial burdens on them so that they can celebrate the lives of their loved ones.” Former U.S. Navy SEAL Brandon Webb founded the Red Circle Foundation to provide immediate financial relief to special operations families. Not long after establishing the organization, Webb lost his best friend, Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, in the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year. The Red Circle Foundation helped cover the cost of Doherty’s memorial expenses. “If we were over in Afghanistan and you were on a mission, there would be a quick reaction force waiting on alert back on the base so if something happened to you, that team would already be ready,” Webb said. “That’s my philosophy with the Red Circle Foundation. It really took shape from losing my best friend.” Webb hopes to raise awareness about the needs of special operations families during the foundation’s inaugural gala fundraiser July 26 at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. “I’m a SEAL, so San Diego is just a natural pick for the event,” said Webb, editor-in-chief of SOFREP.com, and author of “The Red Circle” and “Benghazi: The Definitive Report.” “I think the people of San Diego identify with the military and the sacrifice that people make.” The event, which includes dinner, a silent auction and live entertainment, is one of the foundation’s main fundraising events for the year. Eighty-five percent of the proceeds will fund the nonprofit’s programs and services that help families like the Vaughn family. “I never dreamed, expected or even thought about the loss of a child,” Vaughn said. “Nobody ever thinks about that happening to them. When it does, there are all kinds of related expenses, plus the loss of work. Life just changes. It just changes forever.” For more information about the Red Circle Foundation and to purchase tickets for the gala, visit redcirclefoundation.org. lege of William and Mary. • Christina Ciardella, daughter of Mr. Robert and Mrs. Bessie Ciardella, will attend Santa Clara University. • Christian Guinchard, son of Mr. Jean-Louis and Mrs. April Guinchard, will attend Dartmouth College. • Isabella Leung, daughter of Dr. Richard and Mrs. Carol Leung, will attend Bard College. • Kristen Weller, daughter of Mr. William and Mrs. Anne-Marie Weller, who was honored with an Advanced

Cycling fundraiser ‘Pedal the Cause’ to support local cancer research BY KRISTINA HOUCK After being diagnosed with stage-4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2000, Patrick Connor avoided a bone marrow transplant by participating in a late-stage clinical trial. Cancer free for 13 years, Connor is now executive director of Pedal the Cause, a cycling fundraiser that will support cancer research in San Diego. “For anybody who has been impacted by cancer, whether they supported a loved one or whether they’re a patient or a survivor, this is an opportunity for them to ride and raise money right along with the doctors and the hospital staff who have made such a difference in their lives,” Connor said. “This is a wonderful platform for cancer advocates in the community to give back and contribute to the research that can one day find a cure for cancer.” With several courses of varying length, Pedal the Cause will take place Oct. 26-27, between La Jolla and Julian. All proceeds will benefit UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the Salk Institute – three institutions that recently joined forces to further cancer research under the name San Diego National Cancer Institute Cancer Centers Council. Having participated in his third Ironman Triathlon two weeks after his diagnosis, Connor said events like Pedal the Cause offer a supportive community for cancer patients, survivors and advocates. “Endurance sports and athletics really provided an important platform for me as I was going through cancer and coming out of it,” Connor said. “Cancer survivors are optimistic and they are determined. I’ve seen how events like this really help people.” Fitness and nutritional specialist Kate Deering is participating in the one-day ride, and has already raised $3,800 of her $5,000 fundraising goal. The local resident learned about the event from her client, Bill Koman, a two-time lymphoma survivor who founded Pedal the Cause in St. Louis in 2009. “Whether you’re a cyclist, been touched by cancer or just want to support this community, it’s a great opportunity to get involved in this event,” Deering said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun. You can’t ask for a more beautiful place to ride in.” Del Mar resident and triathlete Jodi Kennedy is participating in the two-day course. The mother of four lost her father to cancer when she was 9 years old and her uncle several years later. Her sister has also battled three types of cancers. “Cancer hits everybody,” Kennedy said. “It’s something that we just have to find a cure for. Anything that I can do to push that along, I certainly want to do.” For more information and to register for Pedal the Cause, visit sandiego.pedalthecause.org.

TPHS grad’s passion for lacrosse continues as a pro BY ROB LEDONNE Today, popularity-wise, lacrosse is on equal footing with sports like football and baseball, but it wasn’t always like that. It may be hard to believe, but the sport, which originated and was fervently played in the Northeast United States, was practically nonexistent aside from a few fringe teams in the West. That all changed around 10 years ago as more and more East Coast families moved to California suburbia, bringing with them a love of the game and spreading it around to Western natives. Early on, one of those natives was Nick Gradinger, a 2004 graduate of Torrey Pines High School. Gradinger, like many other kids his age, started his academic athletic career playing baseball. “I made the decision to switch from baseball to lacrosse when I was in eighth grade; me and my brothers hadn’t even heard of it until shortly before then. At the time (besides extracurricular middle school teams), we played for glorified club programs. Then when I entered high school, it became a sanctioned club entity and went CIF my sophomore year.” At Torrey Pines, Gradinger and his newly-formed lacrosse team dominated those early days; going so far as to win the state title in 2003, his junior year. “We were lucky to be successful because we had a bevy of talent,” he remembers. “A number of my teammates wound up playing really high level of lacrosse afterwards; the bulk of them division one.” Gradinger himself was wooed by a number of schools, and wound up going to Cornell to play, a school considered to have one of the best lacrosse teams in the country. After four successful seasons at Cornell, Gradinger couldn’t believe how the sport was growing and he says many days seemed surreal. “There weren’t many West Coast guys like me playing at the highest level. We were in the top five my entire tenure there; at one point we played in front of 50,000 people in an NFL stadium.” Unlike many collegiate athletes, after a stint in grad school Gradinger stuck with the sport and now plays for Adrenaline Sports’ XLN Pro, a professional lacrosse team that plays exhibition games across the country.

Hundreds of fans showed up, many seeking autographs from their favorite players and playing in games themselves. Overall, Gradinger loved the experience of introducing his beloved sport to a whole new audience: “It’s all about increasing exposure for those on the West Coast

to get into the sport. There’s so much that draws in kids at the youth level; I know because I was one of those kids.” For more on the LXM Tour, which has upcoming stops in Chicago, Portland, and Atlanta, check out: http://www.adrln.com/ lxm/

Del Mar Little League Majors Champions

Nick Gradinger Courtesy photo “We’re like the Harlem Globetrotters in the sense that it’s just two teams playing each other all the time. The model is, on each of our stops we pair it up with a youth event.” One of those events recently happened to roll into the North County at the Del Mar Polo fields; a virtual homecoming for Gradinger. “It was the second stop on our tour. I think it’s great to have these events in Southern California, and to play in front of these kids.”

The Del Mar Little League Majors Championship was decided on Saturday, June 1, with Coach Mark Mattingly’s National League Champion Mets taking on Coach Joe Caprice’s American League Champion Rangers. The game was scoreless through three innings with superb pitching by the Mets Parker Williams and the Rangers Bryson Shores. In the fourth inning, AJ Mattingly hits a lead-off double, and the Mets take the lead on a Ryan Sanborn two-run homerun. The Mets add an insurance run in the fifth inning with a Jake Scott lead-off double and Jacob Anfuso’s followup clutch base hit. In the end, the Mets win the Del Mar Little League Majors Championship (the Del Mar Cup) 3-0. This Championship marks Coach Mattingly’s second Del Mar Little League Championship in three years.

CCA student places in top 10 at 2013 U.S. Rhythmic Championships Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Andria Gao recently competed in the 2013 U.S. Championships for Rhythmic Gymnastics, hosted in ESPN Wide World of Sports, located at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. In the midst of tropical storm Andrea (a name coincidence), gymnasts from all over the country arrived at ESPN Wide World of Sports and competed. This national championship event features the best rhythmic gymnasts in the United States. Andria competed hard, and finished strong. She ranked 6th place in Hoop routine and 10th place all around in senior Level 10, the highest level in rhythmic gymnastics competition. This is Andria’s third year qualified and competed in the National Championship but her first year in the senior division, which is tougher compared with competing in the junior division. Her top 10 placement also earned her a national Elite title. Rhythmic gymnastics consists of music, apparatus tossing, dance movement, leaping, pirouette and balancing. Elegant and graceful, yet it demands great physical and mental strength from the athlete. Behind the flawless beauty of the sport lies a complex combination of high criteria and firm requirements as to the content of the routines, the degrees of difficulty involved, the technique of handling the apparatus and overall body control. As Andria has continued to make progress year over year, she is very grateful to her coach Iordanka (Dani) Kovatchka of the SoCal Rhythmic team at the Magdalena Ecke YMCA in

Encinitas, as well as the support and encouragement from her teammates. Andria started the Rhythmic Gymnastics when she was 5 and now trains around 17 hours per week. Being a sophomore student at Canyon Crest Academy high school, Andria has been working extremely hard to excel in both gymnastics and academics. In the past semester, she was also able to achieve straight “As”in all her classes. Such accomplishments demand Andria to make tough choices, and often to sacrifice many fun or leisure activities and stay up late into night after practice to work on homework. Nevertheless, Andria is upbeat and treats these challenges as opportunities to not only embrace the sports she love so dearly, but also build up her character and mental toughness. While enjoying her much-needed break in the summer, Andria has already started to set her eyes on beginning her junior year at CCA and a new season of rhythmic gymnastics.

ASH continued from page 1 military family members will be more comfortable during their travels due to the vision of Mr. Ash, the generosity of the Airport Authority and San Diego’s many donors,” said USO San Diego President/CEO John T. Dooley. Open 365 days a year from 6 a.m. to midnight, the new airport center will provide support and services to well over 125,000 military service members and their families annually. The center delivers a variety of services, including a friendly and comfortable place to relax, high-speed wireless Internet, free phone access and complimentary refreshments. The new center also features contemporary furnishings and an expansive outdoor courtyard, including BBQ grills to be used for special activities such as USO San Diego’s Feed Our Troops program. The center is named in honor of Neil Ash, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident and dedicated supporter of San Diego’s military community. Ash was the visionary behind the creation of the first USO center at San Diego International Airport in 1990. During World War II, Ash was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy and served in the Pacific. He was later called back to active duty during the Korean War and earned the rank of Lieutenant Commander. His decades-long support of troops in the San Diego area and his admirable leadership resulted in the opening of the first USO airport center in San Diego in March 1990 and now this cutting-edge facility 23 years later. “My time has been well spent in

this most worthy cause of establishing and maintaining the high stature of a San Diego USO airport center. It is wonderful to be in an organization where you have a lot of competent people who know the USO mission so well. I can relax, and I can rest assured that our troops will have a home here in San Diego for a very long time,” said Ash at the June 26 ribbon-cutting ceremony. The center’s dedicated volunteers also offer a warm welcome for returning troops, act as kind hosts to incoming recruits and deploying units and provide support for families of the fallen while traveling through the airport. In 2012, more than 100 volunteers gave approximately 22,000 hours of their time to support USO San Diego’s efforts at the USO Neil Ash Airport Center. Thella Bowens, president/CEO of the Airport Authority, shared that, “we are proud to support the USO and our military families. San Diego’s airport is often the place where service members and their families say hello or goodbye, and it is our pleasure to provide them the facility to make their meetings special.” USO San Diego is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funded primarily through the generosity of individuals, businesses, organizations and foundations within the community. Donations directed to USO San Diego are used to support programs and vital services for San Diego’s military community and those traveling through the USO Neil Ash Airport Center.

Giovanna’s boyfriend invested $25,000. The family has filed a lawsuit against Elia, which is pending. Elia and Ellis, 70, operated a Ponzi scheme in which money from new investors was used to pay artificially high returns to original investors, thus attracting more people to participate in the scam. Elia promised investors their money was safe, and that he could generate high rates of return from day trading of stock, including Facebook stock, said a statement from prosecutors. In 2011, however, payments to investors became irregular, investors filed lawsuits against Elia, and in January 2012, Elia sold his Ft. Lauder-

dale home, shipped his belongings to his native Cyprus, and fled. He was arrested in March 2012 when he flew to Las Vegas with his wife, Darlene Elia. Elia swindled about 50 victims out of some $10 million, prosecutors said, using investor money to buy two Bentleys, a Rolls Royce, and jewelry worth some $500,000, prosecutors said. “He took in this money starting in 2005 and literally just went shopping. The money never got invested,” said Imbesi. “It’s just outrageous.” Until the scheme began to fall apart, Elia was a model of propriety, said Imbesi. He was easy to reach and timely with statements and interest payments. Ellis, the co-defendant, told people he had inherited money from his father, and that Elia was doing a brilliant job managing the money, Imbesi said. Ellis wore a flashy Rolex watch, drove a Mercedes and dined at upscale restaurants. Imbesi met Elia

through Ellis. Many of the investors lived in Wilton Manors, a predominantly gay community near Ft. Lauderdale, prosecutors said in court documents. After Elia’s trial concluded in March, Imbesi said he flew to Cyprus, where he was successful in obtaining a legal judgment that allowed him to seize the contents of the couple’s shipping container full of furniture and other personal possessions. Imbesi found photographs of Elia and his wife posing with their booty, such as cars and jewelry, inside the container. The photos were provided to the judge at Elia’s sentencing, Imbesi said. Imbesi, his 83-year-old father and other family members are still reeling from the loss of their investments. “It’s like an emotional grenade was thrown into my family’s life,” he said. Referring to Elia, Imbesi said it’s difficult to comprehend how “someone could be absent of any kind of moral compass whatsoever.”

“David is a perfect match for Torrey Pines High School – not just because he is a skilled and experienced leader, but, more importantly, because he values people. Mr. Jaffe will work closely with outgoing Principal Killeen to ensure a seamless transition.”

New USO Neil Ash Airport Center opens

he thousands of military service members and their families who pass through San Diego International Airport every year now have a new place to call their “home away from home.” USO San Diego, in partnership with the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, recently opened the doors of the new USO Neil Ash Airport Center — the largest USO airport center in the world. The grand opening and ribbon cutting took place June 26 in the new facility in Terminal 2 at San Diego International Airport. The facility spans nearly 10,000 square feet. The center is named in honor of Neil Ash, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident and dedicated supporter of San Diego’s military community.

BY SCOTT M. LIPPMAN What happens when you put the nation’s second largest cluster of life science companies in the same town with one of the world’s most amazing groups of academic biomedical research institutions? You accelerate a certain chemistry, the combinatorial kind that produces a phenomenon known as the academia-industry partnership, or AIP. This supercharged chemistry happens in San Diego and La Jolla, where AIPs fuel the development of novel cancer medicines that help patients get better. More so than almost any other place on Earth, researchers and entrepreneurs from industry and academia rub shoulders in San Diego and La Jolla. They commingle in events that foster AIPs, like the annual UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center Industry/Academia Translational Oncology Symposium. They get together through two nonprofit organizations, BIOCOM and CONNECT, that strongly facilitate AIPs via services to the region’s numerous biotechnology companies. This proximity matters. It’s hard to beat creative interactions stemming from spontaneous and short-notice encounters and meetings, from seeing raw data and experiments in person in the lab, and from a host of other immediate advantages that Skype, e-mail and distance can’t offer. AIPs work, and work fast. For example, in 2008 Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., and academic colleagues in La Jolla reported that a JAK2 mutation in cancer stem cells drives the hematologic cancer myelofibrosis (MF). MF is debilitating and life-threatening,

Dr. Scott Lippman with abnormal blood-cell production and scarring in the bone marrow. Jamieson linked up with another academic scientist, David Cheresh, Ph.D., who had founded the local company TargeGen, which developed a JAK2-inhibiting drug. They formed an AIP. Only eight months after the JAK2-stem cell discovery in 2008, this AIP began a clinical trial of the JAK2 inhibitor here and elsewhere. The early-phase trial was quite successful, helping patients right away and a harbinger of things to come in this emerging era of targeted therapy. It caught the eye of the large pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis, which acquired TargeGen in June 2010. More trials were then launched at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and elsewhere, and last month, Sanofi announced that the drug’s large, multi-national Food and Drug Administration-registration trial, called JAKARTA, had exceeded its expected benefit. If all goes well, it’s expected the FDA will approve the drug for cancer treatments in 2014. This case of AIP-turbocharged drug development went from 0 to 60 in eight months and from 0 to the finish line in just five years.

That’s lightning fast compared with typical cancer drug development, which often takes from 10 to 15 or more years to get an idea to market. Drug development moves fast in La Jolla because it’s easier to generate the AIPs that propel good science and medicine. Inspired by success stories like JAK2 targeting in MF, researchers from academia and industry are partnering to build and occupy the Center for Novel Therapeutics (CNT; originally announced as the Center for Innovative Therapeutics). The CNT will incubate scientific discovery and then foster AIPs that speed development of clinical testing and therapeutics. The 110,000-squarefoot CNT will rise in the UCSD Science Research Park, just east of the Moores Cancer Center. Teams of potential CNT developers, architects, contractors and consultants attended a mandatory Qualifiers Meeting in May. By June 10, the teams had to submit their qualifications to develop the CNT, which is slated to open in July 2016. The CNT will house academia and industry tenants in wet and dry laboratories, including space for bioengineering and medicinal chemistry. It will house people who know how to develop clinical protocols, as well as core facilities to support joint research. Several large labs from Moores will become CNT tenants. The scientific leaders of these labs have all been involved in AIPs. They believe in the CNT’s ability to facilitate and hasten AIPs that will help them get their discoveries into therapeutics that help patients as quickly as possible.

July 4, 2013

It all comes together nicely: All of the pieces needed to create and develop life-saving cancer therapeutics and technology under one roof in the CNT. In turn, the CNT is near clinical doctors and researchers at the NCI-designated comprehensive Moores Cancer Center (just across the street) and at the UCSD Thornton Hospital and the Hospital for Cancer Care (walking distance) within the Jacobs Medical Center (scheduled to open in 2016). Nearby as well are Moores’ large bank of clinical tissue specimens and the UCSD Center for Advanced Laboratory Medicine. Whether within the same building (CNT), campus (UCSD), community (La Jolla) or city (San Diego), close proximity spurs invention, inspiration and innovation, in this case in the form of AIPs. These partnerships are at the heart of accelerated drug development that makes life better in our community, the nation and the world. 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 once a month.

Porsche of San Diego hosts ‘Texas Hold ‘Em Party’ benefit •RSF residents support fundraiser for Veteran’s Sustainable Agricultural Training program When Holli Lienau, Susan Muha Randee Stratton and Janet Lawless Christ learned that the government’s sequester had eliminated the government assistance funding for the Veteran’s Sustainable Agricultural Training program they knew it was time to take action. When they asked Joe Allis, proprietor of Porsche of San Diego, if he would allow them to stage a Poker Night to raise money for the returning veterans, he predictably said “Absolutely!” So recently 50 poker players and spectators, including many veterans who had been sponsored by generous Rancho Santa Fe residents, had the time of their lives at Porsche of San Diego amidst fabulous food, beverages, a fantastic silent auction and more.

The catering, by Sun Dried Tomato Bistro, was underwritten by Holli and Anthony Lienau. The poker company was underwritten by Susan and Charlie Muha. The printing and promotion was underwritten by Janet Lawless Christ. Silent Auction items were generously donated by Nature Designs, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, Porsche of San Diego, Rancho Santa Fe Jewelers, Rancho Santa Fe Art Gallery and many more.

Renaissance Galleries owners passionate about the world of art •L ocated in Rancho Santa Fe Plaza, Renaissance Galleries features work of top artists

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diegans don’t have to visit a museum to see the work of Leonardo da Vinci. A bronze sculpture created from a beeswax mold crafted by the Italian artist is on display and available for purchase from Renaissance Galleries in the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza. Known as “Horse and Rider,” the roughly 9-inch-tall sculpture — not including the cradle and base — shows a man riding a bucking horse. Only 299 bronze castings were produced and 40 have already been sold, including one shortly after Renaissance Galleries’ Encinitas store opened in April. Da Vinci molded the cast in 1508, but died before completing the project. Renaissance Galleries co-owner Michael Koligman said he was initially skeptical about the authenticity of the mold until he studied the relic with its owner, Richard A. Lewis, and da Vinci scholar Carlo Pedretti. Now Koligman is writing a book about the authentication and reproduction of the da Vinci sculpture, which included about 850 hours of his own research. “The whole story unwound right before my eyes,” said 57-year-old Koligman, a retired engineer with an expertise in image processing and pattern recognition. “It was truly a journey. We started with nothing, just a mold.” The sculpture, which sells for $25,000, is just one of the art pieces available at the gallery. Renaissance Galleries represents a number of artists, including Thomas Kinkade, Robert Finale and Paige O’Hara, the voice of “Bell” in the Disney movie “Beauty and the Beast.” Renaissance Galleries only featured Kinkade’s work until the mid-2000s. While the gallery now also features the work of other artists, Kinkade continues to be the gallery’s most popular artist, and is also the inspiration behind Renaissance Galleries, Koligman said. “It was the first artwork that my wife and I both really fell in love with,” said Koligman, who lives with his wife, Linda Koligman, in Rancho Peñasquitos. Koligman and his wife began collecting Kinkade’s paintings soon after spotting the late artist’s work during a trip to a local winery in 1991. Three years later, the couple bought their first gallery featuring Kinkade’s pieces in Carlsbad.

Renaissance Galleries co-owner Michael Koligman. “We appreciate his art and have a lot of his artwork hanging in our home, so we really believe in the artwork,” Koligman said. After 28 years in the industry, Koligman retired from engineering in 2001 to focus on the couple’s expanding gallery business. Renaissance Galleries has had other locations in San Diego, and opened in Encinitas after closing its El Cajon gallery, which opened in 1998. In addition to the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza location, Renaissance Galleries currently has two locations in Las Vegas. “This was a love,” Koligman said. “I’m passionate. I love talking about the artwork.” To learn about the art they sell, Koligman and his wife have met each of the artists they feature at their galleries, and were close friends with Kinkade. “We’re fun people and we try to create an experience,”

(Top) Leonardo da Vinci sculpture “Horse and Rider.” (Bottom) Renaissance Galleries. Photos/Kristina Houck Koligman said. “If you come into my gallery and have questions, please ask. If you’re interested in a piece, I’d be glad to talk about it. “I want the client to be happy and not buy art for an investment or because I said they should buy it. I never say that. I say buy it because you love it and you love the story behind it.” Renaissance Galleries is located in the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza at 162 S. Rancho Santa Fe Rd., #E-30, in Encinitas.

Desperation, hope collide in ‘Old Globe’s revival of The Rainmaker’ BY DIANA SAENGER Maria Mileaf, who earned an M.F.A. degree from UC San Diego, is directing a rekindling of N. Richard Nash’s classic romantic comedy, “The Rainmaker,” at The Old Globe in Balboa Park this summer. “The Rainmaker” has quite a history. Since Nash penned it in the 1950s, it has been translated in more than 40 languages, made into a musical, and the 1956 film starring Katharine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster. It has won Academy Awards, and a Tony Award. Mileaf said she heard about the play, but had not seen it or read the script until the Globe’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein approached her about directing it. “I found it charming, engaging and quite beautiful,” Mileaf said. “It even made me cry to understand the characters and what they were all about.” “The Rainmaker” is set in the 1930s against the sweeping landscape of the drought-ridden Midwest. Spinsterish Lizzie Curry has just returned from a family visit where she hoped to find a possible mate. Instead, she’s saddled with worry

The Birds, the Bees, and Blended Families

Is loving stepfathers easier than stepmothers? Dear Dr. Diana, Father’s Day is almost here and I’m dreading it. This is my second marriage and we’ve been married for five years. Typically we have a barbecue at our house and both my daughters and my Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom stepsons come. The boys usually spend the day with their dad surfing and stuff. The problem is that my daughters don’t do anything with my wife for Mother’s Day. Every year it is the same. My wife hopes for even a stepmom card from them. She forbids me to tell them to give her a card. Their mom takes them for the whole day and evening on Mother’s Day. My wife does a lot for my girls when they are with us. She tries really hard to be nurturing to them and make them feel welcome in our home. I don’t know why it can’t be easier between them. My stepsons and I don’t seem to have all the issues that my wife and my daughters seem to have all the time. Every year when Father’s Day comes up, I can tell that while my wife is happy for me having all the kids around, inside she feels hurt that she doesn’t even get a card for Mother’s Day. Do you have any suggestions for us? — Sincere Husband Dear Sincere, It may help you and your wife to know that your families’ experience is more the norm than not. Research on stepfamilies says that many stepchildren (especially stepdaughters) describe less strained relationships with their stepfathers than their stepmothers. Subsequently, researchers have asked the same question that you are asking, “Why is there this difference?”

It turns out that children of all ages find accepting a stepmother harder than a stepfather. According to separate long-term studies (Herrington 30 years, and Ahrens 20 years) it appears that there are several reasons for this difference. The studies report that women tend to experience resentment and anger post divorce longer than men do. Men, on the other hand, want to get along and avoid conflict with their ex-spouse. Some of these men feel concerned that their ex will malign them to their kids or make it harder to see the kids. His efforts to placate the ex-wife can then create disharmony with his wife who may feel that the ex has higher priority status in their family. According to the studies, children pick up on the conflicted relationships, especially the mother’s anger toward the dad and stepmother. Daughters are especially sensitive to the beliefs and feelings that their mother has about the divorce and tend to model her behavior. Because mothers still tend to have the kids much more than fathers, stepfathers have more time with their stepchildren than stepmothers do. So, for many stepfathers the relationship has an opportunity to evolve more naturally. While in contrast, stepmothers may only see their stepchildren two weekends a month. They have a small window to show the children that they care, which can put pressure on everyone. To further complicate matters, women feel more compelled to take an active role in the nurturing and management of the household than men typically do. And most fathers admit that they want their new wife to fill a maternal role with the children while stepfathers are more expected to develop a casual and friendly relationship with the kids. Fathers tend to be less concerned about the stepfather’s participation in the raising of his children than mothers are with stepmothers. A stepmother being too nice or loving can put kids in direct conflict

with their feelings of loyalty to their mother, making the kids uncomfortable. You can see how it makes sense that stepfathers are “easier to love” than stepmothers in our society. There are some things that you can do to help your wife cope with the situation. For starters, share this information with her and validate her experience. Kids often feel hostile and rejecting toward their father’s new wife for a variety of reasons that are not in her control. Encourage her to not try so hard and to take a step back and develop a more causal, friendly stance with them. This will take less energy on her part and can help her to lower her expectations. Let her know that she is not disappointing you – that you appreciate all of her efforts. Over time, you can help to shape the children’s behavior toward her by encouraging values of mutual respect and kindness. Finally, it may help your wife to read, “Stepmonster: A New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act, the Way We Do” by Wednesday Martin. Diana Weiss-Wisdom, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist (PSY#12476) and author of “Wisdom on Stepparenting: How to Succeed Where Others Fail.” She is in private practice in Rancho Santa Fe.

To your health: Your aging eyesight BY DAN CODEN, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH If you’re around age 40 and have noticed that you need to hold small print farther and farther away in order to read it clearly, it is not just your imagination — nor are your arms shorter than they used to be. After age 35, everybody starts to develop a type of age-related vision disorder called presbyopia, which means “aging eye” in Greek. As the eyes age, they lose the ability to focus up close, making activities such as reading a book or typing a text message more difficult. People often try to compensate by holding objects as far away as possible to see them more clearly, but their arms are only so long. Presbyopia is associated with the process of refraction in the eye. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through an object; in the eye, the cornea and lens bend or refract the rays of light that come in through the pupil so that they focus directly on the retina at the back of the eye. The retina converts the light into messages that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain, where they are communicated as the images we see. As the lens of the eye ages, it becomes harder and less flexible and loses its ability to precisely focus light onto the retina; instead, it focuses light behind the retina, which blurs close vision. In addition, aging also weakens muscle fibers within the eye, which makes it more difficult to focus on close objects. The result is presbyopia. Nearly everyone experiences some degree of presbyopia after age 35. In addition to difficulty reading small print or seeing objects close to you clearly, symptoms may include headaches and eye strain. The symptoms vary in severity — some people may notice considerable changes in their close vision, while others may not notice as significant a difference. While there is no cure for presbyopia, there are ways to manage it. The first step is to have a professional eye examination with an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The exam should include dilation of the eye, a painless procedure which enables the doctor to examine your retina for age-related eye diseases which often may not be detected otherwise. In addition to a regular vision test, you will be asked to read small print at a close distance to help determine the degree of presbyopia and how to address it. Eyeglasses designed for close work (often called readers or cheaters) are the most common solution for presbyopia. Reading glasses are sold at many drug and department stores in varying strengths, and have become quite fashionable. No prescription is required, but it is a good idea to have your ophthalmologist or optometrist determine which strength is best for you before you purchase them, as even a slightly weaker or stronger prescription than necessary may cause eye strain or headaches. People who already have other vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and blurred vision due to irregular corneal shape (astigmatism) do also develop presbyopia. Contact lens wearers may just need reading glasses, or may wear a lens for distance vision in one eye and a lens for close vision in the other, a process called monovision. People who already wear eyeglasses may switch to bifocals, which have two different prescriptions in one lens. The top part of the lens corrects for distance vision, while the lower part is for close vision. Another option, progressive bifocals, have a gradual transition between the two prescriptions. There is much interest in a surgical treatment for presbyopia, and current research looks to be promising. Ophthalmologists look forward to an FDA approved cure in the near future. Should you notice any changes in your vision, it is very important to see your eye professional to rule out serious problems. Daniel Coden, M.D., is an ophthalmologist with Scripps. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps.

Estate Landscaping: Private Stafﬁng vs. Contracted Services By Steve Jacobs

When it comes to the ongoing maintenance of a large piece of acreage -- such as an estate -- property or estate managers are often faced with the option to either hire on-site staff or to contract services through a professional landscape management company. Estate landscaping requires a great deal of management starting with the choice of plants and trees to the custom look of the premises. Manpower must also be adjusted when necessary and capable of managing the existing and future land planning of the estate. In addition to the basics, a property with large acreage must also take into consideration seasonal changes, construction issues, and even plant diseases. Private Staffing There are clear-cut benefits to hiring a private on-site staff to manage property landscaping. Employees who work on the property offer quick response to daily issues of upkeep. Estates that desire a more customized look can also do well with private staffing since greater style control is left in the hands of the owner or estate manager. On-site staff is also secure, meaning private estates are afforded the benefits of familiarity for those working on the property. When it comes to scheduling, there are fewer conflicts, ensuring the property is constantly attended.

Contracted Services Despite benefits associated with on-site staff, most owners or estate managers choose contracted services for its wider-range of benefits when it comes to total care of an estate or acreage. Right off the bat, estate managers are relieved from having to run a payroll for on-site staff including any human resource-related issues such as hiring, firing, scheduling and providing benefits. Liability and worker’s compensation issues are also eliminated when contracted services are chosen over on-site staffing. HR logistics aren’t the only benefits. Some other relatively unknown pluses include continuing education, broad-range industry knowledge, safety training, checks and balances. When hiring a professional landscape company, a wealth of knowledge is brought to the table, such as extensive education in horticulture, the latest industry technology regarding natural resource management, and property upkeep. When it comes to safety, an estate landscaping company will bring only the safest protocols to the property to ensure all professional standards are effectively met. ……..There’s more to this story at www.delmartimes.net/columns/ and www.ranchosantafereview.com/ columns/

Switchfoot Bro-Am Auction Night Soiree is July 12

(L-R): Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce ambassador Ryan Godfrey, and Del Sol Lions members Kathleen Davis, Paul McEneany, David Cain and Chuck Dumbrell.

Del Sol Lions set fundraising record at Fiesta Del Sol The Del Sol Lions raised more than $1,772 over the two-day Fiesta Del Sol, June 1-2, in Solana Beach, inching past last year’s total of $1,730. Del Sol Lions Club members volunteered and collected donations in the VIP and wine garden areas. The donations collected at the Fiesta Del Sol will help pay for new backpacks and school supplies for young students in need through Casa de Amistad, a non-profit tutoring and mentoring program based in Solana Beach. “This is a fine example of the community rallying around an important cause,” said Linette Page, president of the Del Sol Lions. “We are grateful to have such strong public support for our charity programs and we appreciate the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce allowing us to raise these funds at the Fiesta Del Sol. It was a team effort.” The Del Sol Lions are part of an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries serving those in need and youth in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Carmel Valley. The club meets the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Fletcher Cove Community Center in Solana Beach. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome. For more information, please visit DelSolLions.org.

As a kickoff to the 9th Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am, presented by Hurley + Rob Machado Bro Junior, the community is invited to join Grammy Award-winning rock act Switchfoot on Friday, July 12, at 6 p.m. at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa, for the Bro-Am Auction Night Soiree.

$225 for VIP, which include a special meet & greet reception with Switchfoot. Special room rates are being offered by the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa for the night of July 12. The Switchfoot Bro-Am was created by the band in 2005 to give back to the San Diego community while benefiting local children’s charities through funds raised at the preevent auction night soiree, as well as from vendors on the beach and corporate surf team entries (Saturday, July 13), sponsorships, and an after-party at the Belly Up Tavern. Inspired by the success of the Bro-Am, Switchfoot recently created the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation to continue their mission of supporting local at-risk, homeless, and street kids throughout the year. To purchase tickets and for complete info about this year’s Switchfoot Bro-Am, please visit the event Web site. (www.switchfoot.com/bro-am)

Kids Korps Summer Camp 2013 a huge success BY LINDSEY LOY As a member of Kids Korps since 2006, I returned from college this summer to intern for the organization. My internship brought me back to the La Colonia Volunteer Camp, where I had previously been a counselor as a high school student. This year was Kids Korps’ ninth year of running the camp, involving over 30 campers and 20 counselors – a record number of kids. Held in the La Colonia Park of Solana Beach, the camp brought campers and counselors to different agencies every day for a week. Congruent with Kids Korps’ mission statement and values, the camp’s purpose is to instill a sense of volunteerism and community involvement among young people. The volunteer projects throughout the week are fun and youth-oriented. Some of the activities have been a part of the camp since I was a counselor in 2008, such as sorting food at the San Diego Food Bank and hosting beach cleanups at Moonlight Beach with San Diego Coastkeepers. Some activities were new to me, such as making seed balls for San Diego Canyon Lands, making bird houses, harvesting vegetables, and weeding at the North County Community Gardens and baking for the families at the Ronald McDonald House. The always popular visit with the therapy dogs of Paws’itive Teams took us this year to their main office

in San Diego to see their talented and welltrained dogs demonstrate how they can help individuals with disabilities. Each day before we went to the organizations, the campers did smaller scale volunteer projects throughout the week. These included making quilt patches for quilts for Soldier’s Angels, making knotted fleece blankets for foster children, and preparing peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunches for homeless shelters. Although the week was busy, with over 50 children and teenagers and over five organizations to coordinate with, the camp was a success. What I noticed this year was exactly what I noticed when I was a counselor five years ago: kids get excited to volunteer. Giving back to the community captures kids’ attention and enthusiasm, offering a channel for their time and energy. Seeing the campers and counselors alike have fun cleaning up the local beaches or making cupcakes for the families of sick children is priceless. The exposure that the Kids Korps Volunteer Camp gives these children is invaluable for fostering a sense of personal responsibility in one’s community. Thank you to our funders for making this camp happen, including the John and Mary Rainsford Foundation, Carol and Kent H. Landsberg Foundation, Macy’s INC, Santa Fe Christian Schools, and City of Solana Beach.

Your Family Matters: Transitions BY DR. KEITH KANNER Transitions are always difficult whether you are a 2 year old learning to toilet train, a 13 year old transitioning to high school, or a 60-year-old person retiring. Transitions deal with change. Change introduces Dr. Keith Kanner conflict and, too much conflict leads to anxiety. Depending upon one’s attitude, a transition can be seen as an opportunity for positive movement, or a bummer. This is based on one’s personality. Are you a half-empty type or a half fuller? A transition can be a blessing or a perceived curse. The human brain is a sponge of experience mixed in with a bunch of pre-determined genetics. Experience is the product of intellect and emotion. Put these things together and you get “Personality.” Each new experience or transition is based on previous experience. This is the mind’s way to protect itself from surprise and vulnerability. After all, who likes to feel vulnerable? The problem, however, is that despite the positive wonders of the mind, it cannot predict the future. It can only guess and it can be wrong. So when one is going through a period of transition, having an open mind is the first step to getting through it with less, rather than more anxiety. The truth about transitions, however, is

that they are usually in response to growth and further development. When a child transitions from kindergarten to first grade, it is a signal of greater maturation and the end result is commonly enhancement, not a backwards step. But how past transitions have been experienced will weigh on how well or not a person will approach a new transition. This is an example of how prior experiences will influence present transitional attitude. However, the key to successful transitions has to do with mastering the new tasks at hand and some are easier than others. For example, one of the major tasks of the transitioning middle school child is tolerating the changes of puberty. Here, the child’s body and mind experiences biological changes whether or not the mind is ready or not. The child who can better withstand these manifestations fairs better than those who do not. Here, the prior experiences of transitioning are mixed in with present conditions such as parental support. The keys to successful transitioning is a combination of attitude and embracing the new challenges the person is facing. Peer referencing and support is also vital in any sort of change as the individual does not feel alone and the transition is normalized. Take the college-bound freshman. Faced with mastering greater independence from their parents, managing daily life away from home, and tolerating novelty is always made easier by affiliating with others doing the same. The combination of maintaining a positive attitude, focusing on the tasks at hand, affiliating with peers going through the

same transitional phase, and following through on new behaviors and experiences, lays new impressions on the mind of the individual allowing for greater, rather than less, adaptation and allows transitions to be enhancements rather than drawbacks. Regressions, or set backs, are normal and part of the process as this is how the mind commonly responds to change. Recognizing this tendency and pushing through the tendency to repeat is essential to instilling change. This is where keeping the new goals in mind and working with supportive others can limit setbacks and optimize change. Once new patterns are set, new self-esteem is established which reinforces these new changes and over time new behaviors are developed. 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.
