Rarity of stolen items could help investigators Detectives monitor auctions for items taken in June burglary BY JOE TASH Police are hoping that the rarity of jewelry, paintings and sculpture — together worth more than $5 million — stolen in a June residential burglary in Rancho Santa Fe will lead to the recovery of the items and arrest of the thieves. As of presstime on Tuesday, Aug. 13, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department had not reported any breakthroughs in the

case. Information about the burglary, which occurred the night of June 17, was released by the department last week. “This case is unique, a lot of these sculptures and pieces of art are one-of-a-kind, it adds to their value and it adds a uniqueness to the items, hopefully making it easier to track down if someone shows up trying to sell those items,” said Sheriff’s Det. Brett Garrett.

As part of their investigation, detectives are notifying art dealers and monitoring auctions — both physical and online — where such items might be sold, Garrett said. Among the stolen items were 11 paintings by various artists, including prints of works by Monet and Pissarro, and an oil painting by Jose Maria Velasco titled “El Valle de Mexico.” The paintings See STOLEN, page 28

taped at Radio City Music Hall this week. “When I first tried out, I was terrified; I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The people in the audience aren’t there to watch comedy, which is not ideal. Plus, how could I make people like a German Supermodel laugh?,” explained Williamson, referring to judge Heidi Klum, who anchors the panel alongside Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, and Mel B. Williamson’s path to national television has had its ups and

downs like any performer waiting for a big break. His interest in comedy was first sparked as a defense mechanism while a student at Torrey Pines High School. “I used to get picked on a little and learned that comedy made people want to hurt me less, which is nice,” Williamson said, half joking. “I was never the class clown, but I’d be the guy who enjoyed asking a question with a serious face so the teacher wouldn’t get mad at me but the students would laugh.”

Ag. board hears use proposals for satellite wagering center BY JOE TASH Proposals to turn the satellite wagering center at the Del Mar Fairgrounds into a bowling and entertainment complex, a multiplex cinema and a micro-brewery were presented on Tuesday, Aug. 13, to the board that oversees the fairgrounds property. Rather than choose one or more of the proposals, the 22nd District Agricultural Association decided to study the issue further before making a decision. The district, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, is looking at new uses for the Surfside Race Place, a 90,000-square-foot, twostory building that was completed in 1991. The building was de-

signed to hold 5,000 people per day, but attendance at the satellite wagering facility has steadily declined over the past decades from a high of about 2,900 daily visitors, to its present attendance of about 300 to 350 customers per day. Fairgrounds General Manager Tim Fennell said the goal is to generate increased revenue from the facility, while maintaining the district’s mission of promoting agriculture, commerce and entertainment opportunities for the community. “This gives us an opportunity to keep some jobs… also it raises tax revenue for the local commuSee WAGERING, page 28

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Buzz: Preserving Paradise, aka Historic Rancho Santa Fe BY PRESIDENT ANN BOON, RSF ASSOCIATION BOARD A h , summertime in Rancho Santa Fe. The summer Ann Boon months are traditionally a time for packing up the family and heading out to vacation destinations from Bangor to Baja, from the Great Lakes to the Great Barrier Reef. However, some of us choose to stay home and relax in Rancho Santa Fe where we can pick up those ocean breezes as we perch just four miles from the Pacific Ocean. For the truly energetic among us, no day is complete without a round of golf at our own RSF Golf Club, a set or two of tennis at the Tennis Club, or a horseback ride along our 50 miles of groomed trails. On the other hand, some of us are happy to start the morning with a walk on the beach at Torrey Pines, watch the afternoon races at Del Mar and sip cocktails on the patio — all in a summer day’s work in our corner of the world. Dinner is easy in the Osuna Grill at the Clubhouse, open to everyone, if you are a resident of Historic Rancho Santa Fe. And if your family has chosen to visit you for their vacation, it is proba-

bly because they recognize you live in Paradise. Of course, I meant the above paragraph to sound a bit like a PR pitch for our little community. Our beautiful environment and special lifestyle drew us all here in the first place. Preserving them is what motivates us to work on committees and serve on the Board of Directors. I assure you, your directors and staff (while squeezing in a little family vacation time) have been working hard this summer. Have you noticed the lovely new landscaping along the western entrance to RSF at La Bajada? Our Director of Field Operations, Arnold Keene, worked with members of CONE (Committee on the Natural Environment) to design a landscape that is elegant, understated and drought tolerant. Please be sure to compliment Arnold and his crew the next time you see them. As I mentioned in the last installment of The Buzz, we are working along with the Garden Club board to finalize all the steps necessary to complete the transfer of the Garden Club building to the Association and to establish the new community endowment fund. We hope that the process will be completed this fall. But don’t worry: social, educational and philanthropic activities continue as usual at your Gar-

den Club. And the Upscale Resale Shoppe is still bustling with business! The Association collaborated with the RSF Golf Club this summer and sent out another community-wide survey. We haven’t seen the tabulated results yet, but we will certainly share with you anything earth-shaking that comes out of the survey. Members of both boards feel it is important to “take the pulse” of our community members regularly. We want you to know we are interested in your opinions and ideas. Speaking of communications, along with his other duties, Assistant Manager Ivan Holler has been working with web design experts on our new website. Stay tuned in the next few months for news of the formal launch of the new site. On Sept. 5 and 6, the Association board will be holding our annual retreat. We will be reviewing all the projects that are currently underway throughout the community and examining additional issues that may need our attention. In the coming weeks, you will be hearing lots more about the results of our retreat discussions. In the meantime, staff, board members and committees are staying busy…doing our best to maintain and preserve Paradise, aka Historic Rancho Santa Fe.

County board approves new homes for Rancho Cielo Estates San Diego County’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a plan Aug. 7 that will add 24 single-family homes to a master-planned community near Del Dios Highway in Rancho Santa Fe — Rancho Cielo Estates. Supervisors said the plan was a big improvement over the one the board rejected in September 2012. That plan proposed building 42 detached condominium-style homes in the gated community of estate homes, including along the top of mountain ridgelines. Board members urged the developer then to go back and work with the community’s residents, their neighbors and San Diego County’s planning department to make the project more compatible with the surrounding area. At the Aug. 7 board meeting, Supervisor Bill Horn said the new 24-home plan was a much better fit for Rancho Cielo, where the average price of homes sold in 2012 was $1.7 million. Horn’s district includes the community. “When the project first came to us last year, I was, I guess, very upset that the ridgeline looked like a tract (housing development),” Horn said. “That bothered me. I did not think it met the community character. “I think you came back with a much better project,” Horn said. Other supervisors agreed, saying that even though some residents still opposed the 24home project, the developer compromised “quite a bit” to make improvements. In addition to reducing the number of residences from 42 to 24, the new project changed the housing types from condos to single family homes and reduced proposed building heights from three stories to two stories. — County news release

Rancho Santa Fe Review

August 15, 2013

RSF resident and former police officer again named one of San Diego’s ‘top criminal attorneys’ BY JOE TASH You might say Paul Neuharth Jr. has the best of both worlds. He splits his time between San Diego, where he runs a successful criminal and administrative law practice, and his ranch in Oregon, where he raises Black Angus cattle. Recognized this year, and for the past several years, as one of San Diego’s top criminal attorneys by the San Diego Daily Transcript, Neuharth, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, focuses mostly on narcotics and driving under the influence cases, and also is a recognized expert on issues related to the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The 3,000-acre ranch near the town of Bend, in Central Oregon, is a place where Neuharth can get away, either to prepare for a complex legal case, or to clear his mind by cutting down trees and brush, as he recently did with his three teenage sons. “I’ll go to the ranch because I’m not going to be disturbed there,” Neuharth said. “I can completely immerse myself in the case.” Neuharth, 51, has run his law practice as a sole practitioner since 1990, and now employs three support

Paul Neuharth Jr. staff and an associate attorney. While the bulk of his practice takes place in downtown San Diego, he also must travel around the country to defend clients in federal narcotics cases. Neuharth put himself through college at UC Riverside and law school at the University of San Diego by working as a police officer, mostly on graveyard shift. For seven years, he worked for the California State University Police, and was assigned to San Diego State University. During that time, he was sometimes loaned to the San Diego Police Department’s narcotics team, and he earned seven commenda-

tions for his work, including the arrest of a felon on the FBI most-wanted list. Working as a police officer allowed him to make enough money to pay for school, and also gave him a much better understanding of the finer points of police investigations, insight that is helpful to him as a criminal defense attorney. He also served as a union representative during his law enforcement days. “It was a really good way of paying for law school and giving me a good idea of what area of law I wanted to go into,” he said. “I did enjoy the work. I still have lunch every month with the officers I used to work patrol with.” During his legal career, Neuharth has flown below the radar when it comes to media attention, both for himself and his clients, preferring to focus his energies in the courtroom. “I really try to find a back entrance to a courthouse, so I won’t have my clients subjected to cameras,” Neuharth said. Along with defending his clients from criminal charges, Neuharth also helps them with such issues as driver’s license suspensions arising from the criminal

cases. In one recent case, he helped a client regain the right to own a gun following the disposition of a criminal charge. He has had three cases published, meaning they are established as precedent for future similar cases. Neuharth, who has represented clients in narcotics prosecutions throughout his legal career, said many of those who oppose the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana and other controlled substances have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Agencies such as the federal Drug Enforcement Administration receive a portion of budgets through asset forfeitures and fines levied against those they arrest, Neuharth said. “They get to keep this money,” he said. “There’s an inherent conflict of interest.” For example, he said, many states, including California, have decriminalized possession of marijuana, and have also passed medical marijuana laws. However, he said, medical marijuana providers can be prosecuted on felony distribution charges under federal law. “It’s a financial reason,

not a public policy reason” why federal drug laws remain in conflict with the laws of many states, he said. Neuharth is engaged to Breanna Parton, a college student and mom. When he’s not in a courtroom, law office or chopping down trees on his ranch, he enjoys travel, “really good red wine,” archery and fishing. He would like to see a bar association form in Rancho Santa Fe for attorneys

who either live or have offices within the Covenant. He doesn’t plan to expand his practice, because he likes having direct control over his cases, which has allowed him to deliver positive results for his clients. “I love what I do,” he said. For more information, visit www.paulneuharth. com.

Water district receives national award in financial reporting •D istrict has received the award for 7 consecutive years The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented the Santa Fe Irrigation District the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the district’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local performer, Grammy-winning producer team up on music project BY ROB LEDONNE It all started as a fluke: the year was 2006 and Aaron Acosta, then 7, was tagging along with his actress sister Marissa on an audition to give her support. However, when they were in the parking lot, a producer for a different project ran up to him. “He said I should audition for a play he was putting together,” remembers Acosta, now 13, who had never acted before in his life. “I probably would have started acting eventually, but that was my first shot.” Acosta nailed that audition, and then another and another, and six short years later, he’s become a veteran actor and singer with a plethora of credits under his belt. Acosta, a local resident, has appeared in numerous stage shows around the region, landing his first professional gig, a production of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”, at the Old Globe theater, when he was only 9. “It was a huge and new experience at the time. I was really shy at first,” he notes about performing on a stage full of acting veterans dou-

a renowned Grammy-winning salsa producer who has worked with the likes of Marc Anthony and Tito Puente. Nuñez caught wind of Acosta after, against Acosta’s wishes, his sister Marissa posted a video of Acosta singing on Youtube. A few

months later, his father showed it to a friend who knew someone in the music industry, and the opportunity fell into place from there. Said Kathleen: “Aaron is always in the right place at the right time.” The first two songs

from Nuñez and Acosta’s collaboration, “Betcha By Golly Wow” and “Dream Lover,” were recorded in Miami this past spring and are now available on iTunes. (Acosta recorded a salsa ver-

Once I got to know the cast members, it was a great experience. You learn from them, because everyone is supportive of each other.” The young actor scored his next break in 2010, when he appeared in the La Jolla Playhouse production of “Chaplin,” a show that went from San Diego to Broadway, and scored Acosta’s co-star, Rob McClure, a recent Tony Nomination for Best Lead Actor in a Play. “That experience was amazing as well,” Acosta explained. “We were like a big family. I’m always sad when

shows end, especially that one because there were people in it from all over the country.” Throughout all of his stage success, his mother Kathleen couldn’t be more proud. “What’s impressive about Aaron is that he’s able to stay grounded. He’s well known in local circles and has even auditioned for Broadway a bunch of times. He’s able to handle it all really well.” It’s that ability to perform under pressure which led to his newest project. Acosta is currently putting together a variety of songs with Pablo “Chino” Nuñez,

The Rancho Santa Fe School District and Education Foundation will host their annual Newcomers’ Welcome BBQ and Orientation on Friday, Aug. 23, to introduce all new families to the R. Roger Rowe School. The event will be held from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the RSF School Performing Arts Center. (10:30 a.m. is the welcome; at 10:50 a.m. a tour will be held; and the BBQ will begin at 11:35 a.m.). This is an ideal opportunity for newcomers to walk the wonderful campus, get an overview of the school, learn about the school and its history, and, most importantly, meet the school administration and staff along with making new friends. The delicious BBQ is a perfect way to finish the event and top off a great summer. Parents will be welcomed by the District Superintendent and introduced to the teaching staff. Parents will be provided information about specific Foundation programs for the upcoming year, understand the benefits of contributing early, and encouraged to participate in activities throughout the year. On the orientation tour, new students can become familiar with the school campus before the first day of school. A staff member from the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center will direct games and activities for the kids. This year’s event is sponsored by Wells Fargo, The Private Bank. Thanks also to the Education Foundation volunteers and the Ranch Hands, a group of parent and child volunteers that will conduct campus tours and provide dessert and drinks. Newcomers’ events are organized by parent volunteers and made possible by donations through the RSF Education Foundation.

Expert to speak on ‘What’s Cancer Got To Do With Alzheimer’s Disease’ at RSF Senior Center BY KATHY DAY Gilbert J. Ho, M.D., a geriatric neurologist speaking at the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center on Aug. 16, plans to put a new twist on his lecture this year. In the past, he said, he’s talked in general terms about memory and aging, but this year he had an “aha” moment as he was thinking about the topics that are presented in TED Talks — those online programs and conferences about “Ideas Worth Spreading.” “They introduce things people don’t think about that have implications for other things,” said the founder of Rancho Bernardo-based PCND Neurosciences and the Center for Memory and Aging. “Diseases don’t happen in isolation — they are all interrelated.” Understanding that relationship, he added, tells something about both or all of the diseases a patient may have and gives insight into treatment or prevention. So this year he’s naming his talk “What’s Cancer Got To Do With Alzheimer’s Disease.” He said he believes people will find it more interesting than his past lectures. His talk at the Senior Center begins at 2 p.m. “When we go to the doctor as we get older, we notice all these diagnoses – cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and Alzheimer’s is mixed in for some,” he said. “Why is that the case? What do they have to do with each other.” A specialist in geriatric cognitive neurology, Ho spent eight years at UCSD working with the late Dr.

If you go What: Dr. Gilbert Ho’s lecture, “What’s Cancer Got To Do With Alzheimer’s Disease”’ When: 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16 Where: Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center Call: (858) 756-3041 Leon Thal – one of the leaders in the development and study of therapies for Alzheimer’s before he was killed in a plane crash. Ho’s focus on both clinical care and research put him in a good position to open what was the first private comprehensive memory evaluation center in the county in 2007, he noted. Its mission is to identify problems earlier so they can identify resources to help make the quality of life better, he said. “The traditional, popular notion is that some people, as they get older, have memory issues – that it’s natural or normal.” If a person is “really forgetful” and losing things, if there are patterns, it is probably not normal and the individual needs to be evaluated even if it does not seem to be affecting their everyday life, he said, adding that

memory loss progresses slowly. The cause may not be Alzheimer’s but rather dementia with Lewy bodies or vascular dementia. “We know the brain cells are falling apart for an unknown reason,” Ho said. “There are no cures, but we need planning to make the rest of life successful.” While PCND is a general neurology practice, the allied Center for Memory and Aging is dedicated to evaluation and care of those with memory, cognitive or dementia issues. The center’s staff also conducts clinical drug trials and ongoing research. In an effort to learn more and utilize their knowledge base, the center has established a cognitive registry that compiles information about patients. “It’s a gold mine to learn more about memory,” Ho said. Patients who come to the center, either by referral from their primary physician or word of mouth, are seen by a team that includes geriatric neurologists, neuropsychologists and geriatric social workers. Their evaluation protocol includes a pencil-and-paper test, neurological exam, tests for biomarkers — things that can be measured such as blood tests, MRI results, and spinal fluid that provide information about the progression of a disease. Family members and friends are also interviewed to give the team members external observations, Ho said. Seating for Ho’s lecture is limited.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

RSF resident carries on family’s legacy with Gen 7 Wine label BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Tim Bacino produces 1,200 cases of wine a year, but he doesn’t have a winery and he doesn’t own a vineyard. With his Gen 7 Wine label he is part of a growing trend of “virtual winemakers” — they are winemakers who don’t own their own equipment or facilities but instead rent them. He makes award-winning wine from grapes out of several different vineyards in spots such as Napa, Santa Barbara, Lodi, Hollister and Temecula. In that way he gets to make wines in all different regions where he feels he can get the best varietal and the best bottle. He drives up and down the state to oversee the processes and, if needed, they are aged and bottled on site. His bottles are then sent to San Diego and Temecula warehouses for keeping and Bacino goes to work selling “one bottle at a time” — hopefully making “customers for life.” The Gen 7 name on the

Winery, which produced wine for over 150 years in California. “It made sense for me to focus on the next generation,” Bacino said. “I’m not doing this just to sell wine but to continue our legacy, I want to pass it on to the next generation.” 7 Gen Wines have been on the market for the last two and a half years. Bacino has been hand-selling his wines to restaurants, stores and wine bars. Currently Gen 7 is carried in Whole Foods Encinitas, Wine Connection in Del Mar, and all three San Diego Wine Steals locations. He is carried in some Orange County and Palm Desert restaurants and stores, and his sparkling wine is featured in a fresh cocktail at the new Morada restaurant at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe He hopes by the end of the year to be in all San Diego-area Whole Foods Markets. He is also in the process of establishing a tasting room in the North County coastal area. A San Diego native, Bacino lived in Solana Beach for 10 years before moving to Rancho Santa Fe in 2006, custom building his dream house with his wife, Susanné, an interior designer. A self-described “serial entrepreneur” he has been involved in several small companies and still sells real estate but winemaking was a family tradition he could no longer ignore. As a youngster, Bacino remembers spending summers at his uncle’s winery in Rancho Cucamonga. “I have fond memories of running around the vineyards and the fermenting rooms and seeing the tanks,”

Bacino said. “As a kid it was larger than life, the tanks were so big, the perfume of the wine in the air is burned into my brain. I always knew I was going to make wine and be a winemaker someday, but I just thought it would be when I was retired.” Bacino’s family history begins in France, where his great-great-great-great uncle Theophile Vaché had perfected the craft of producing brandy and wine. He came to America in 1832 “with a bundle of vines under his arms” and purchased 250 acres in San Benito, planting one of the first commercial vineyards in California. By the 1950s, with Brookside Wineries, the family had become the sixth largest wine producer in the United States and the largest in California. They owned over 6,000 acres of vineyards in Southern California and had 36 retail stores and 140 different labels — they even produced vinegar for Regina Vinegar and kosher wine for Manishewitz.

purchased Brookside Wineries while Bacino’s uncles continued to operate the vineyards. Unfortunately, the vineyards became the victim of “urban creep”— Beatrice couldn’t resist selling the valuable land to developers in the 1980s. For the next 30 years, the family vines were quiet. “In 2008 a switch turned on in me, that I needed to continue our legacy and make wine,” said Bacino, who is the youngest of 18 siblings and cousins in Generation 6. “I didn’t want our story to die.” Bacino went to his uncle René and told him his plans. René told him he needed to cut his teeth and make one batch of wine to make sure he really wanted to do this. Through some calls and connections, Bacino hooked up with Alex McGeary, the owner and winemaker of Shadow Mountain Vineyards in Warner Springs. McGeary loved the idea of reviving Brookside and helped him put together a game plan to make his first batch of wine, using the varietal of carignan grapes. Bacino gathered up oak barrels and food grade bins, and rented a large truck. He used the winery’s gravity floor crusher and carried one ton of crushed grape must in his food safe bins back home to Rancho Santa Fe. Using the methods of generations before him, he checked temperatures, watched the fermentation, every six hours tamped and pressed the grapes until they were ready to be pumped back into barrels. Pumping the wine into barrels in his wine cellar 10 feet away was a momentous event attended by several members of his family — they even had a priest come to bless the wine. “It was a fun time,” Bacino said. “We did spill a lot of wine but it was a lot of fun.” He watched over the wine for many months to let it age and develop flavors. After about a year, he bottled the wine and

brought it to his uncle. “He was pleasantly surprised,” Bacino said. “From that point, I haven’t looked back.” He released his first wine at the end of 2009, a 2008 vintage red blend that sold 140 cases in less than six months. Since then his uncle and the rest of his family have served as mentors and support for his venture. He now has several Gen 7 wines for sale, including a 2005 cabernet sauvignon, described as having “bright notes of Bing cherry with subtle hints of dark chocolate and coffee,” a crisp citrus 2009 chardonnay and some sparkling wines, including his new Ibiza pomegranate sparkling wine. One of the most popular questions a winemaker fields is, “So what’s your favorite wine?” To this Bacino answers, “Well what am I eating?” Typically he loves his whites because they are a great way to start a dinner. If he’s eating something spicy, he’ll have viognier. His 2009 Viognier is a multiple gold medal award winner and is bright and well balanced, with fresh stone fruit and honeysuckle aromas with a sweet melon and orange blossom finish. He’ll roll into his reds if he’s eating burgers, pizza or ribs — his Zinfandel or cab blend. His 100 percent cab will do if he’s going big and bold with juicy steak or short ribs. “My newest favorite is my 2010 Zinfandel that I haven’t released yet,” Bacino said. This zinfandel is particularly special as it is made with grapes from his uncle Theophile’s original vineyard, now under its seventh owners, plantings that are over 100 years old. Bacino has a lot of plans for his company — he’d like to create a TV show in the vein of chef Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” on the Travel Channel where he would travel the world to small boutique wineries and tell the stories of the people behind them. He said someday he might like to own his own vineyard. And, most definitely, he would like to write a book to capture his family’s legacy. For now he is content letting his wines tell their story. “I’m blessed that I found my passion and I can’t wait to wake up in the morning,” Bacino said. Gen 7’s next release party will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 3. The location will be posted on the website. To purchase wines or find out more information, visit gen7wines.com or call (619) 5401986.

Patriot Profiles: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have your grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY JEANNE MCKINNEY In August 2012, in the frigid waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, a U.S. Navy Dive team and service members from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) searched for the remains of five Americans lost at sea in November 1942. Mass Communication Specialist 2nd class Martin L. Carey was assigned to document the challenging operation. They were looking for a World War II PBY-5A plane. Wearing a thick wetsuit and equipped with air tanks, weights and an HD camera with lights, MC2 Carey describes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The water was 30 degrees. At 120 feet down thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good current and visibility is extremely limited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 15 feet.â&#x20AC;? Carey got a headache and his fingers and toes started to go numb. Freezing cold and depth limited them to 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were swimming along,â&#x20AC;? says Carey, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then all a sudden, this big black object started to appear. The aircraft was upside down on its wings, basically untouched, 70 years later.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to do a flyover,â&#x20AC;? Carey states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You swim over the top of the aircraft and shoot video straight down to get an overall view of the site. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start excavations until I

got the video.â&#x20AC;? Underwater photography/ videography has its own set of challenges and he had one pass to get the lighting and everything else set up correctly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there was time for,â&#x20AC;? remembers Carey, â&#x20AC;&#x153;combined with the cold and getting back to the surface with a limited amount of airâ&#x20AC;Ś it can break your focus.â&#x20AC;? MC2 Carey and his team searched for osseous (bone) remains and any other forensic clues such as personal effects, life support equipment, aircraft data

plates, ordnance, weapons, packs, mess kits, uniforms, etc. Carey had to provide historical documentation because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treated like a crime scene. Once evidence is recovered, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sent back to JPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii, the largest, most diverse forensic skeletal laboratory in the world. Lab scientists at CIL use genetic sampling and material evidence to help solve the puzzle of a service memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search and recovery assignments come from Fleet Combat Camera Pacific Command, Naval Base North Island, San Diego. The Navy works with over 400 military and civilian personnel at JPAC command to comply with a Congressional mandate to account for over 83,000 Americans still missing from past conflicts. Following Quebec, the waters of Corsica, France, were much warmer and clearer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could see 100 feet down. A B-17 bomber crashed on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, 1942, and we were looking for one of two crew members (one was found years earlier).â&#x20AC;?

Casa de Amistad needs tutors and mentors for upcoming school year Adults, high school students welcome to volunteer BY KAREN BILLING Casa de Amistad is getting ready for the new school year and is seeking volunteer study companions to serve as tutors and mentors. The Solana Beach organization is dedicated to fostering education and character development for local Latino children. To help as many students as they can, they need as many volunteers as they can get. Last year the program served 170 students and had 45 on the waiting list. Program director Nicole Mione-Green is expecting similar numbers of students this year, drawing from local school districts. Casa de Amistad started in 1997 as a Solana Beach Presbyterian Church outreach program. It became its own nonprofit in 2001 and the church still donates space for the program on its campus in Debin Hall. Since Casa began, the number of students participating in the program and going onto college has increased. “Casa is really special because it does become like a family and it is improving lives through educa-

tion,” said Mione-Green, who is starting her eighth year as the program’s director. “The kids are so open and want help.” Volunteers can also make great connections with the students over the course of a year. “The homework is the hook but it goes beyond that,” MioneGreen said. “The volunteers get as much out of it as the kids do and they’re really making a difference and an impact on their own community.” Casa de Amistad students meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays during two sessions, running from 4:15-5:45 p.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. The goal is a 1:1 or 2:1 students to tutor ratio for the kindergarten through sixth grade participants. “It really does make a big difference,” Mione-Green said. “It’s an hour and a half where the kids have one person who is focused on them and it’s a place where everyone is working toward a common goal.” Middle schoolers and high schoolers meet more in small groups on a variety of subjects. This year Casa is placing a big focus on partnering with the local high school districts to see how they can best support them and hold students accountable. Mione-Green said they follow

Students in Casa de Amistad’s summer program make zucchini bread. The Solana Beach program is now seeking volunteers for the school year. PHOTO/KAREN BILLING a pretty strict schedule, completing homework with mentors and if there is time after they finish, students read or do educational activities. All students have access to a computer lab, filled with donated laptops. Students can get work done in there and Casa parents have the opportunity to access Aries Portal, an open grade book that the local school districts use. The computer lab is a valuable resource, as many families do not

have computers or Internet access at home. While Casa runs September through May, they do their best to keep the kids busy year-round. Thanks to great partnerships with organizations such as the YMCA and Kids Korps, they were able to send 60 kids to summer camp on scholarship. Casa also had a summer program in August that focused on art and hands-on activities in math and science.

Last week, students made zucchini bread and were tasked with figuring out how to cut the recipe in half. As Casa works closely with school districts, there is never a need to find more students for the program but they are always looking for volunteers, especially with specialties in math, science, English and history. While Casa does have a lot of retired teachers who volunteer, high school student volunteers are also welcome. High schoolers just need to have a 3.0 GPA or higher and a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor. “We want kids who are invested in their own educations and that will be good role models for the students,” Mione-Green said. Volunteer training will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 4, from 5-7 p.m., led by Fred Becker. Becker is the founder of Becker Institute Inc. and is a licensed professional educator. The first day of Casa de Amistad tutoring sessions is Tuesday, Sept. 10. All applicants must undergo a background screening.

San Diego Musical Theatre’s ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ The Fats Waller Musical Show’ to run Sept. 27-Oct. 13 San Diego Musical Theatre will present “Ain’t Misbehavin’ The Fats Waller Musical Show” at the Birch North Park Theatre Sept. 27-Oct. 13. The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s best. The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing. Although not quite a biography, Ain’t Misbehavin’ evokes “the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Assembled under the expert eye of director/lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr., Ain’t Misbehavin’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time.” For individual or group tickets contact the Administrative Office at 858-560-5740 or visit SDMT online at www.sdmt.org.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Local golfer Jeff Hart thriving on Senior Tour BY GIDEON RUBIN A very short stint washing dishes at a local restaurant helped steer Jeff Hart’s career path. Hart was a junior at Torrey Pines High in the late 1970s when he picked up a part-time job at “Mr. T’s,” a Solana Beach eatery that now goes by “T’s Cafe.” Hart went on to become a professional golfer, competing on the PGA tour and now the Senior Tour. “It opened my eyes up a little bit,” Hart said. “It made me realize how much I wanted to play golf and not be a working stiff for the rest of my life.” Hart picked up the job at the prodding of his parents, who wanted him to work for his own pocket money. The work was much tougher than he expected. Hart quit after a few days. “I didn’t like it that much, let’s put it that way,” he said. Hart has been doing what he loves ever since. After an admittedly unremarkable PGA career, he is now experiencing a career Renaissance on the Senior Tour. Hart, 53, is ranked tied for 29th on the champions tour in points in what’s already been the most success-

Jeff Hart Courtesy photo ful year in a career that spans four decades. He’s placed in the top 20 in five straight champions tour events, with two top-10 performances highlighted by a sixth-place finish in the Constellation Senior Players championship in June. He also placed eighth at the Senior Open Championship last month. In the Constellation tournament, Hart finished ahead of Corey Pavin, Tom Lehman, Fred Funk, Tom Kite and Tom Watson, among other notables. Not bad for a golfer who hadn’t had a top-10 tournament finish since 1987 at the Hattiesburg De-

posit Guaranty Classic. “I’m thankful, lucky and grateful, really, to be doing it at this age, especially since I didn’t have a very good career in my prime years of golf,” Hart said. “At my age, [golf] is the only sport that I know of that you can pull that off and still make a living at it into your 50s, and there are guys out here that are doing it into their 60s.” When Hart first started on the PGA tour in 1985, he played in tournaments with Jack Nicklaus in the twilight of his career. Hart was also grouped with Tiger Woods in his PGA debut at the Greater Milwaukee Open in 1986. Hart is the first to admit he isn’t the same golfer he was when he joined to tour. He’s doesn’t have anywhere near the power he did when he started his professional career, and he now experiences aches and pains associated with arthritis that he acknowledges will likely end his career someday. Nevertheless, in many ways, he is a better golfer today than he ever was. “It’s tough to compare, but I would say I’m playing better than I ever did on the regular PGA tour,” Hart said, noting the different condi-

tions played on the senior tour. “I don’t hit the ball as far as I used to and my body’s not as supple or as flexible as it once was, but I was never a long hitter to begin with, so even though I’ve lost some yardage over the years I’ve kind of made up for it other areas. “I’m a better putter and my preparation is much better.” Hart believes he’s also gained wisdom over the years that he believes has paid dividends on the golf course. He’s learned not to be so hard on himself, and no longer tries to force the issue when things don’t go his way. “In golf, sometimes the harder you try the worse you get at it,” he said. “You have to sort of learn to give up control to get control, and that’s the hardest concept for anybody to accept. We tend to think ‘I’ve got to get in there and try harder and work harder and do all this stuff’ when it’s really almost the opposite. “That’s a hard thing to grasp.” Hart has also had to accept a complicated champions tour qualifying format that’s based more on PGA

career winnings than merit — a system that puts a journeyman golfer like Hart who needs to keep qualifying for tournaments to keep his career going at an inherent disadvantage. “It’s a never-ending battle on the championship tour for me,” he said. But although perhaps not entirely fair, Hart has no complaints about the qualifying rules. It’s the presence of big names on the tour that make the events profitable for everyone involved. Hart has earned $676,883 so far on the champions tour. He earned $610,877 on the PGA tour. “I have no gripes about the way it’s run, it should be that way,” Hart said. “We wouldn’t have a [champions] tour without the big name players.” And it beats washing dishes. “You know that old adage ‘do something you love,’ and forget about the money, that’s kind of what I’ve done,” Hart says. “I haven’t made a lot of money until the last couple of years, but I just love it and I’m going to try to ride this out as long as I can. It’s been fun, I just hope it continues a little bit longer.”

Del Mar fiesta to raise funds for former racehorses Dice Flavor wins Grade II $250,000 La Jolla Handicap After more than a month away from competition to deal with personal issues, jockey Garrett Gomez celebrated his return to the races with a victory in the Grade II $250,000 La Jolla Handicap aboard Dice Flavor (outside) on Aug. 10 at Del Mar. Dice Flavor came charging from eighth place at the top of the stretch and caught Den’s Legacy (inside) at the finish to score by a half-length. Pure Loyalty was third, a neck behind Den’s Legacy; favored Freakin Rocket crossed the line in seventh. The final time over 1 1/16 miles on the turf was 1:39.82, just missing the track record set by Sidney’s Candy three years ago. The 3-year-old Dice Flavor is trained by Patrick Gallagher and owned by Oda Racing Stable and US Equine. The La Jolla Handicap is a major prep for the Grade II $300,000 Del Mar Derby on Sept. 1.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK When racehorses can no longer cross the finish line first, After the Finish Line steps in. Saving them from slaughter and neglect, the nonprofit contributes funds to organizations that rescue, rehabilitate and find new homes for thoroughbreds. “When their racing or breeding career is over, their future is uncertain,” said Dawn Mellen, founder and president of After the Finish Line. “We’re here to stand up for these horses and make sure their welfare is taken care of.” To assist these organizations, After the Finish Line holds several fundraisers every year, such as “A Fiesta for the Horses” on Aug. 21 at En Fuego Cantina & Grill in Del Mar. From 6 p.m. to closing, the restaurant will donate 10 percent of all sales to After the Finish Line. In addition, $1 will be donated to the nonprofit for every “Finish Line” Margarita sold throughout August. “Racing season is the perfect time for us to create awareness and promote the cause of helping the horses when their racing careers are over,” said Mellen, who has a home in Rancho Santa Fe. “I really don’t think people think about what happens to these horses when they can no longer race.” Founded in 2007, the group is entirely volunteer-run. In 2012, After the Finish Line awarded nearly $100,000 to 65 rescue groups helping about 300 horses. In the first five months of this year, the nonprofit had already awarded nearly $60,000 in grants to roughly 30 organizations. “The donations that we receive are for the horses,” Mellen said. “Over the years, it’s been wonderful to give back to these magnificent, noble thoroughbreds. They try so hard on the track. When it’s determined by the owner or the trainer that they can no longer race, we’re there to help them transition off the track and into a second career or re-

Father and daughter to star in ‘Les Miserables’ at North County’s Avo Playhouse STAR Repertory Theatre is staging the first full-score community theatre production of Les Miserables in North County at the Avo Playhouse from Aug. 23-Sept. 1. Performance dates and times are Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sundays at 5 p.m. The 70-member cast features an array of talent across the board. Featured in the cast are father and daughter Andy Softley (Foreman) and Julie Ann Softley (Gavorche), whom are Leucadia residents, as well as Solana Beach resident Chris Braden (Ensemble). Alternating in the lead role of Jean Valjean are two experienced performers, Brandon Sherman and Ben Plache. Sherman just completed his run in the highly-regarded classic “Fiddler on the Roof” at the Lamb’s Players Theatre, while Plache is a regular with the San Diego Opera. Les Misérables follows Jean Valjean as he is pursued by the implacable Inspector Javert through some of the most tumultuous years in French history. Filled with an epic score, the live orchestra will perform classics such as “One Day More”, “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and “I Dreamed a Dream.” Director Scott Kolod, is thrilled to have the opportunity to produce the most popular musical in the world. “To stage Les Miserables is an amazing feat, but to do it with an incredible cast like this makes it the experience of a lifetime. This is definitely going to be a show to remember.” Tickets for this musical sensation are on sale online at www.starrepertorytheatre.com or by calling the box office at (760) 724-2110.

WAGERING continued from page 1 nity,” said Fennell. The 22nd DAA board heard proposals from two outside groups: one was for the “New Stick,” a 40,000-square-foot complex, including 20 bowling lanes, a video gaming center, a sports lounge and a banquet hall that could be converted into a theater or nightclub. Outdoor seating areas would include fire pits, putting greens, a horseshoe pit and a bocce ball court. The other proposal, from a group led by LandRock Development, calls for a two-level cinema called “Cinequus,” with five screens on the first floor for families and children, and five more screens on the

Rancho Santa Fe Review second floor for “elite moviegoers,” with service of alcohol, lounge-chair seating and higher ticket prices. The New Stick proposal by TNS Inc. was the most detailed. According to documents presented to the 22nd DAA, the project would cost $6.45 million to construct, and would generate revenue of up to $49.2 million over five years, using the most optimistic estimates. A third proposal, which would be a joint venture of the 22nd DAA and its food and beverage contractor, Premier Food Services, is the construction of a microbrewery and beer garden at the satellite wagering center, tentatively called the “Equus Brewery and Garden.” Premier vice president and general manager Mark Anderson said the micro-

brewery could potentially be built in conjunction with either the cinema or bowling alley proposals. While some board members said the proposals mesh with the district’s mission of providing entertainment for the public, at least one member expressed doubts. “It’s mission creep,” said director David Watson, an attorney who has worked on resolving landuse disputes with the California Coastal Commission and other agencies during his tenure on the board. “The criticism we get is we’re going too far afield from our original mission,” Watson said. The district last year settled a lawsuit by the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Au-

thority, over its master plan, which at one point included construction of a hotel, a proposal that was later dropped. The district also settled a similar lawsuit with the Sierra Club, and reached agreement with the Coastal Commission over alleged environmental violations. Watson said the proposals offered Tuesday would require Coastal Commission approval. He also questioned whether the proposals were in line with the district’s own land-use plans. The board voted to send the proposal back for further study by district staff and a board subcommittee, in consultation with the companies that submitted proposals. No date was set for bringing back a full recommendation to the full board.

and citrines. Each set was valued at $100,000. The thieves also took Chinese sculptures, as well as sculptures by Canadian-born artist Andreas von ZadoraGerlof, known for his watches and other fanciful art works. A “Four Seasons” clock made by Zadora was among the items stolen. In all, 20 sculptures worth more than $3 million were stolen.

Garrett said the home was unoccupied at the time of the burglary, and the incident does not appear to be related to any other local burglaries. The department has not released any additional information about the crime, and no suspect information has been provided. A $1,000 reward for information leading to an ar-

rest in this case is being offered by Crime Stoppers. The number to call with information is 888-580-8477, or anonymous email and texts can be sent to www. sdcrimestoppers.com. Photos of some of the stolen items can be found on the Crime Stoppers website.

FINALIST continued from page 1 into either entertainment or politics; he was not afraid to voice his opinions on things. He has this huge smile, and an ability to make other people around him feel relaxed.” Upon graduation, Williamson attended Cal State Northridge for a short time but dropped out to pursue his dream as he was already paying his bills doing comedy at age 21. Since then, Williamson’s career is checkered with proud accomplishments: he was the youngest comedian to appear on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” and also had stints on MTV, Comedy Central, and another NBC competition series, “Last Comic Standing,” where he was a semifinalist. Throughout it all, his mother (who raised him and his brother on her salary as an artist) provided full support. “Two weeks before I got ‘America’s Got Talent,’ I was ready to get a day job for the first time in my life,” Williamson remembers. “My mom loaned me money, and I said to pay her back I was going to get a real job if I didn’t start making more money doing

comedy.” Fate, however, intervened. On Tuesday night, Aug. 13 (after presstime for this newspaper), Williamson’s act will face the nation and it’s up to the viewers at home to decide if he moves onto the next round. “The voting starts at the end of the show; they’ll give viewers a number which you can vote up to 10 times,” said Williamson of the process, which can also be done online via www.nbc.com/AGT. Williamson is hoping San Diego will rally behind its homegrown star, and Gilbert says he’ll be the first one calling to vote. “I’ve been supporting him for quite some time. He’s one of the top up-andcoming comics in the country, not just in San Diego. He’s a real genuine person who’s followed his dreams and made things happen for himself,” said Gilbert. “I think his recent success shows that he really is an exceptional individual.” Reiterated Williamson: “It’s a dream come true.” “America’s Got Talent” aired this week on Tuesday, Aug. 13, and Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 9 p.m. on NBC 7 San Diego.

continued from page 12 tions [Quebec and France] we did find osseous remains,” he adds, “We try to leave as small a footprint as possible.” “For those who may have witnessed a crash as teenagers or are related [to the service member], our coming back 70 years later with the recovery is very emotional and they appreciate it,” says this can-do-anything sailor, who wanted to join the military as a boy. Growing up in a family of locksmiths from Ft. Wayne, Indiana, Carey had never done photography and only tried scuba diving once. “I’m a very confident individual,” Carey assures, “From day one, I was going to do the best on every test, apply myself fully and just crush it.” He crushed the “A” course at Defense Information School, graduating “Top of the Class.” While finishing up DINFOS, getting mass communications skills under his can-do belt, Senior Leadership from Combat Camera paid a visit. “They interviewed about half a dozen of us, trying to get a feel for our mindset, because Combat Camera deploys in hostile environments — front lines. We document operations like that.” They were also recruiting for divers. Carey knew, “Absolutely – I’ll get through that school, no problem.”

ing everything in stride and is gearing up for another year at school, where he also enjoys playing basketball. “My classmates know about my career. Whenever I go to an audition, they always ask me if I got a callback and get really excited. It’s a really good feeling to have friends like that.”

Acosta’s friends and coach have taken to calling him by a certain nickname: “Hollywood.” For more information about Aaron Acosta, go to www.facebook.com/aaronacostafanpage. For more information about Chico Nuñez, go to www.chinonunez. com.

Six weeks of training at the Navy Dive and Salvage Training Center prepared him for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2011. “We did a lot of work with a Navy Dive and Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit,” states Carey. EOD conducted Anti-Terrorism Force Protection dives — dismantling and rendering safe inert underwater mines. “My job as a photographer was to document training exercises above and below the water.” Carey’s been on actual ATFP dives, inspecting foreign piers and the hulls of ships bound for U.S. ports for explosives or threats. He’s also documented military operations exchanges with friendly countries – strengthening international ties, along with training for large remote-controlled EOD Robots. They can be driven up to a suspected IED site, survey with its cameras, and diffuse or place a charge to disrupt it, according to Carey, protecting service members, civilians, or anyone from harm. “My mom was concerned the military would change me and I would be a different individual. If anything, it’s reaffirmed who I am. I’m a very outgoing and goofy person. I have a great time.” Lieutenant Miranda Williams affirms, “Any time we need him to go on any deployment — any job — he’s absolutely reliable. Does it right the first time — no questions.” “He’s an outstanding operator and sailor,

just an all-around good guy,” adds Combat Camera Commanding Officer Matthew A. Young. Carey earned “Junior Sailor of the Year” in 2011, adding to other official military recognition. He was awarded The National Defense Medal for enlisting during a time of war and multiple medals for his work in Bahrain. A three-year Good Conduct Award further reveals the true nature of this native son. Some rewards are more private and personal. ”Truly the biggest impact [the Navy] has had on me is I’ve made the best friends of my life.” He hopes the junior sailors he’s mentored know, “They can do anything… Their career is in their hands and to not hold back.” Rewarded is how he feels when he thinks if he’d never met his grandfather and got that call or letter saying, “We have your grandfather’s remains.” Carey gets goose bumps every time he sees the American flag or hears the National Anthem, stating, “It just changes your life.” Today, MC2 Martin Carey works in the Chief of Information office at the Pentagon. He says he misses the underwater photography and traveling to new and different places in the world. No matter what service he gives to his country, Marty’s having “a great time.”

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Longboard luau has funded cancer research for two decades BY PAT SHERMAN For the past 20 years the annual Luau and Longboard Invitational fundraiser and surf competition at Scripps Institution of Oceanography has brought scientists, surfers and entrepreneurs together to raise nearly $6 million for the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Each year the proceeds provide seed money for the kind of groundbreaking research that turns ideas into lifesaving innovation. The event features some of the biggest names in surfing. This year’s participating surf legends include Robert August, star of the 1966 surf documentary “The Endless Summer;” Fernando Aguerre, president of the International Surfing Association; Jericho Poppler, a cancer survivor and pioneer of women’s professional surfing; Rusty Preisendorfer, founder of Rusty Surfboards; and Kathy “Gidget” Zuckerman, the inspiration for the fictional surfer played by Sally Field in the 1960s sitcom, “Gidget.” The event starts at 7 a.m. near Scripps Pier, and progresses to a Hawaiian-themed luau on the Scripps campus at 12 noon. Organizers hope to raise $300,000 for research during this year’s event. Event co-founder John Otterson, who returns this year to co-chair the 20th anniversary Luau and Longboard Invita-

Luau and Longboard Invitational When: Sunday, Aug.18 (surf contest 7 a.m., luau fundraiser at noon) Where: Surf contest near Scripps Pier; luau at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 8622 Kennel Way, La Jolla Shores Cost: Surf competition is free, luau fundraiser is $150 per person Information: (858) 246-1230 or longboardluau.org tional, said some of the most difficult fundraising is for seed money that helps launch research projects in their earliest stages. The start-up money helps researchers with crucial preparations needed to request more substantial grants from funding sources such as the National Institutes of Health or National Cancer Institute. “It might take $50,000 to pull together the requisite information, data and planning for a seed effort,” said Otterson, a partner in SVB Capital, which supports start-up and emerging growth technology and life science companies. “That is ex-

tremely hard to raise money for … and sometimes (the research) doesn’t work.” However, Otterson added, “Some of our most important discoveries have come from that effort. “It’s not like putting your name on a building, but we think it’s extremely meaningful,” he added. Moores Cancer Center Director Dr. Scott Lippman said the event has helped fund pilot projects at the center that led to breakthroughs in cancer treatment, such Technetium tc99 tilmanocept, a radio-isotope tagging imaging dye that more efficiently identifies and maps cancer cells during surgery. The technology, designed and developed by researchers at Moores Cancer Center, received FDA approval this year. Sam Armstrong, an investment advisor with Wells Fargo, helped co-chair the first three events with Otterson, and is also returning as co-chair of this year’s event. “We have some of the most famous surfers alive today coming in from around the world for this event,” said Armstrong, who has served on the Moores Cancer Center board of directors for more than 25 years (which Otterson also serves on). The morning surf competition is comprised of teams sponsored by corporations such Qualcomm, Cymer and this year’s title sponsor, Pfizer

Surfboard shaper Al Merrick (pictured with granddaughter Daisy) created two surfboards to auction off during this year’s fundraiser in honor of Daisy, who died from cancer in February. La Jolla. The competition includes surfers from the local biotech and scientific research community, as well as cancer survivors and entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Rell Sunn Award Each year, an award is presented in the name of Rell Sunn, a U.S. world surfing champion and a pioneer in women’s surfing who died in 1998, following a more than 15-year battle with breast cancer. She was one the surf legends who participated in the first Longboard Invitational. Through the years, the

Rell Sunn “Queen of Makaha” Award has been given to pioneers such as J. Craig Venter (2002), one of the first people to sequence the human genome; Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Roger Tsien (2012), who helped discover and develop green fluorescent protein, which can be inserted into cells to help scientists view changes and mutations in real time; and John Otterson’s father, Bill Otterson (1998), a tireless advocate for cancer research who died after a nearly two-decade struggle with multiple myeloma. Armstrong recalled how, as chair of the cancer center foundation board, Bill Otterson once chided him, “ ‘You’re never going to raise any money from surfers; everybody knows surfers are a bunch of bums.’ “Of course, he knew his son (and I) were working together on this,” Armstrong said. “We met his challenge and then some.” This year’s Nell Sunn Award will be presented to Kary Mullis, bringing the event full-circle. In 1993, Mullis won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction, considered one of the most monumental scientific techniques of the 20th century. An avid surfer, Mullis also took part in the first Longboard Invitational, and served as an honorary event co-chair. (Mullis and Sun surfed on a team together that first year.) Armstrong said Mullis, Venter and Tsien are “the cornerstone” of today’s microbiology-biotech revolution. “These are the guys that are really the foundation of all of it,” he said. The 24-Karat, gold-plated Rell Sun Award is made by Chicagobased R. S. Owens & Company, which makes the Oscar statuette for the Academy Awards. It includes the inscription, “From Whence We Came,” taken from John. F. Kennedy’s speech to the America’s Cup crews in 1962. Charity auction One of the items up for auction during this year’s luau is a private tour for up to 10 of the new J. Craig Venter Institute on the UC San Diego campus, led by Venter himself. Additional auction items include surfboards designed for the event by some of the most renowned shapers in the business. In addition, the Healthy Foods Kitchen at Moores Cancer Center will prepare a feast featuring organic produce and foods packed with cancer-preventing nutrients. Entertainment includes a performance by Hawaiian folk rock singer Anuhea, and traditional Polynesian dancing from Heali’i’s Polynesian Revue.

Bishop’s grads to stage ‘Our Boys’ at LJ Playhouse Seuss Space

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ASHLEY MACKIN For three nights only, Aug. 16-18, six recent Bishop’s School graduates will present a production of Jonathan Lewis’ “Our Boys” at the La Jolla Playhouse Seuss Space. The six young actors, all members of Bishop’s 2012 Acting Workshop Class, self-produced the two-act play. The story is about six members of the British military – portrayed by Sam Jacobs, Felix Murphet, Lucas Brahme, Ted Hunter, Ben Halter and Peter Alexander – stuck in a hospital bay with varying injuries and different levels of military experience. “It’s a more nuanced view of what it’s like to be someone who is in — or has been in — the military,” Jacobs said. “You really see a more human, more vulnerable side of these guys, who tend to be portrayed as tough dudes who go around and shoot some bad guys … but there is more to it than that.” Murphet added, “There’s a lot of gallows humor along the way, because it’s about war and the injuries (they’ve experienced), but what I like is you can have a laugh about it. The guys themselves have a laugh about it, hopefully, the audience will, too, even though it’s a serious subject.” These talented young actors understand their subject matter in an admirable way, and despite the challenge of the tough content

If you go What: “Our Boys” When: 7 p.m. Aug. 16, 7 p.m. Aug. 17, 6:30 p.m. Aug. 18 Where: La Jolla Playhouse, Seuss 1 Space, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive Note: This production has adult language and content Tickets: $5 at LJPOurBoys. eventbrite.com (including frequent profanities), they are up for it. Jacobs said their age is what makes the exploration into maturity so poignant and heartfelt. “This is a play that can only be done by young people; it’s in the title. It’s called ‘Our Boys’ not ‘Our Men.’ There is a certain vulnerability that you see in guys our age and it would be hard, I think, to be older and more experienced and know more about yourself and then try to play the part of someone who is really pretty lost.” The actors, in the course of extensive rehearsal, said they started to see the story in the context of their own lives. They are all 18- to 20- years-old, playing characters just a few years older. “At 21 or 22 years old, all the dreams of being in the military have been cut off from them,” Murphet said of the char-

acters. “I think it’s easy to empathize with the fact that we have a lot of dreams and ambition and it’s hard to imagine that they, too, might be cut off at some point.” Therein lies the difficulty. “Getting into the mindset that had everything taken away from them a couple of years down the road from where we are right now, and living in a very different place than we are, is part of the challenge,” Murphet said. However, with the support of his cast mates, which includes directing each other, the group comes together to make it work. The six actors share directing duties — offering suggestions and notes — and even changing parts. In the beginning, Jacobs and Brahme were reading for each other’s roles. Jacobs suggested switching, which proved to be a valuable tip. Of his character, Brahme said, “Mick is a sort of lovable, somewhat naïve, warm-hearted dude and his naivety blossomed when I read the part. I empathize with his genuineness (because) that genuineness sometimes comes off as stupidity. I see him as a wise fool, like the ones in Shakespeare’s comedies.” The actors each seemed to find a perfect part to play — the “boys” include one that blames others and makes excuses, one that’s the voice of reason, and one

who is an angry young soldier. Though they share production responsibilities — with the help of stage manager and technical director Nima Malek (also a Bishop’s alum) it was Alexander who got the ball rolling. “Before I went to school at Berkeley, I spent some time at the Drama Conservatory in London, in a program called LAMDA, and I saw a lot of theater while I was there,” he said. “One of the plays I saw was this one, ‘Our Boys,’ and I really liked it a lot.” It moved him so much that

he texted Murphet during the intermission suggesting they perform it back in La Jolla. Originally planned for a performance at Bishop’s, Alexander sent out a proposal to perform “Our Boys” at The Playhouse, which was accepted. “The La Jolla Playhouse is a respected name in the community and it’s really awesome to have this as a launching pad to share our creation,” Jacobs said. “Coming from Bishop’s, which is also a fixture in the community, it’s cool to leapfrog over to The Playhouse.”

It’s steak and seafood with style at Lou & Mickey’s BY KELLEY CARLSON t the King’s Seafood-owned Lou & Mickey’s restaurant, hospitality rules. “Our guests are first here,” said general manager Brian Neal. “The special attention (we give them) ... is what makes us memorable enough to be an annual return (trip).” The warm welcome comes from the heart, and such service helps define the establishment in the popular Gaslamp Quarter setting, he added. Since it’s close to Petco Park and across from the San Diego Convention Center, Lou & Mickey’s (named for the fathers of owners Sam and Jeff King) caters to varying demographics. “It’s not unusual to see someone in a shirt, jersey and ball cap sitting next to someone in a three-piece suit,” Neal noted. Some aspects of the restaurant are casual and playful, yet it also offers more intimate, fine dining. The 15,000-square-foot space, which appears much smaller from the outside, features a post-World War II supper club atmosphere, enhanced by jazzy, Rat Pack-type music. The tiled floor is imported from Italy, and every 10 feet contains a different pattern or mosaic. There are hints of the original French décor, from the days when the establishment was known as Royal. As guests enter, they encounter a raw bar with a variety of seafood packed in ice — from oysters and Cherrystone clams to

San Diego Padres’ home games are also considered special events, and the restaurant’s crew gets into the spirit by distributing free bags of peanuts and dressing up in mock uniforms that contain the words “Lou & Mickey’s” on the back. In the evening, the look is retained in the front areas, but the dining-room staff dons formal wear. To begin a meal, a “can’t miss” item suggested by Neal is the buttery Peruvian Scallops with ponzu and chives. If steak is the entree of choice, the servers are trained to assist guests select from more than a dozen cuts. The “king” is the 20-ounce Prime Rib-eye “Cowboy” Steak, which is tender and marbled. “It’s a Cadillac, a game-changer,” Neal said. A large portion of the menu is dedicated to sustainable species of fish and crustaceans. Among the seasonal specialties are the Florida stone crab (claw only), wildcaught salmon and Alaskan king crab. Besides steak and seafood, other selections include pastas such as the Spaghetti with Tomato & Basil, and salads such as the Roasted Beets & Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese. Desserts are baked daily and options include a decadent slice of chocolate cake with strawberries and whipped cream.

Modern-day Mel Blanc to embrace the ‘sick and twisted’ at La Jolla Festival BY ASHLEY MACKIN What do the Red M&M, the Cheerios Honey Bee, Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama, Elmer Fudd, and Ren and Stimpy have in common? They are some of the many characters voiced by Billy West, who will make a guest appearance at the 20th annual Spike & Mike Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, Aug. 24Nov. 23, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. Not be confused with the new-age Festival Billy West of Animation, which is appropriate for all ages, the Sick and Twisted fest is an 18 and older show because it’s, well, sick and twisted. Joking that the festival couldn’t push the envelope because “we’re not even in the envelope,” co-founder Craig “Spike” Decker said he likes to take credit for starting the genre of animation shorts with adult humor. Twenty years ago, he said, “we started seeing the value in this and how the application of animation was not just for children and just wasn’t Disney and that sort of thing.” It’s that value that drew the admiration of animation voice masters like West, who will be attending the festival, signing auto-

We saw a lot of the future by watching (films at) these festivals.” Some of concepts were Beavis and Butthead (an early production by South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone), Tim Burton’s first film “Vincent,” and early works by Bill Plympton, which premiered at

past Sick and Twisted festivals. West considers those days to be “a good time” in animation. “When The Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, and Ren and Stimpy came out, they were three separate, great ideas and they had nothing to do with the success of the other. They were these beautiful little gems.” Decker said viewers who appreciated those cartoons would appreciate the ones at this year’s festival, too. “We want people to see it’s just fun and humor despite of the gross-out,” he said, adding he’s hopeful that now as adults, the youth who watched cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, Doug, and films like “Space Jam,” will attend the festival for a little nostalgia. This year’s festival holds a little nostalgia for Decker, as well, because it will screen both classic and new films, including some of the ones that appeared at the first Sick and Twisted Festival. Decker said they would screen “two of the sickest shorts ever made” in “Chirpy” and “Quiet Please,” as well as a music video by Jack Black and Tenacious D with a rather profane name. Spike & Mike production manager Josef Liebhardt said he was looking forward to a film from Australia called, “Dumb Ways to Die.” “It describes as many dumb ways to die as you can think of,” he said, complete with a jingle to

Coastal Communities Concert Band to celebrate retiring conductor at Aug. 18 concert BY KRISTINA HOUCK In five years as music director and conductor of Coastal Communities Concert Band, Dr. Robert Fleming, 71, has traveled a b o u t 150,000 miles. The Phoenix resident flew to San Dr. Robert Diego every Fleming Monday to lead the band’s weekly rehearsals at Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas. “It just became a routine,” Fleming said. “To have the opportunity to work with such a wonderful group, it was worth it.” After about 250 rehearsals and 40 concerts, Fleming is retiring as music director and conductor. The roughly-80 member group will honor his retirement during the Summer Pops Concert Aug. 18 at Carlsbad Community Church. “As the conductor, he knows as much about band, band literature, and how to get a band to perform at top levels as anybody on the planet,” said Jim Reed, a Del Mar resident and member of the band for more than 20

years. “The band has flourished as a family, as a musical ensemble and as a positive contributor to the community with Dr. Fleming’s guidance and leadership. He will be sorely missed as a weekly participant, but welcomed always as Director Emeritus.” Fleming was a music professor, associate director of bands and director of the Sun Devil Marching Band at Arizona State University from 1974 until 2002. For nearly 15 years, he also served as a guest conductor of Coastal Communities Concert Band. Fleming became music director and conductor in 2008. “Making music is a wonderful sensation that not enough people can have because it’s one that requires a lot of talent and a lot of work from a performing standpoint,” said Fleming, who has played the flute since he was 4 years old. “From a conducting standpoint, when you put all that together, it’s just magic.” Under his leadership, Coastal Communities Concert Band has conducted annual concerts benefitting Meals-on-Wheels Greater San Diego, raising more than $60,000. He’s also worked with the band’s

foundation to audition more than 150 local high school students, and awarded almost $20,000 in scholarships to students in the San Die g u i t o U n i o n H i g h School District. Dr. Angela “The Yeung amount of musicality that group has is very uncommon in a community band,” Fleming said. “They’re really fine players. They work very hard.” The highlight of his time with the band, he said, was the group’s performance during the 35th annual convention of the Association of Concert Bands in April in San Ramon, Calif. Fleming said the band received several standing ovations during and after its set. “That concert went extremely well,” Fleming said. “It was probably one of the best I’ve ever been involved in. I think they knew how much I wanted it to be special.” Following the concert, however, Fleming suffered a heart attack during the bus ride home. He was admitted

Coastal Communities Concert Band to Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla, where he was fitted with five stents. “The doctor said, ‘You’re done,’” said Fleming, who underwent quadruple bypass surgery after his first heart attack in 2000. “I had to give it up. I’m OK with it now, and it’s going to be fine, but it’s something that I really didn’t want to give up.” The Summer Pops Concert will introduce Dr. Angela Yeung as the band’s new music director and conductor. But Fleming will also serve as a conductor at the concert, which will feature

American band music and guest performances by saxophonist Rob Verdi and vocalist Michael Ruhl. Fleming will conduct five pieces during the show, most with Verdi. Verdi, who leads the Disneyland Resort’s house jazz band, is a former student of Fleming’s. “He’s such a pro,” Fleming said. “To see what he has done with his career — he’s an outstanding performer. I’m looking forward to working with him.” In addition to working with Verdi, Fleming said he is excited to lead his band one more time.

“I’m thrilled to be doing some more conducting with the band,” Fleming said. “I’m sure I will conduct them more in the future, but it will be back as a guest conductor. “Coastal Communities Concert Band will always have a special place in my heart. It is a family.” The Summer Pops Concert begins at 2 p.m. on Aug. 18 at Carlsbad Community Church.

New clothing boutique brings unique lines to Flower Hill Promenade BY KRISTINA HOUCK After relocating from Los Angeles to Del Mar, Andrea Van De Vort saw the need for a contemporary and bohemian-chic boutique. Therefore, Van De Vort opened her own store, called Van De Vort, in July in Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flower Hill Promenade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I noticed there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any stores in San Diego that represented the amazing lines that LA had to offer,â&#x20AC;? Van De Vort said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only made sense to open a store for all of the San Diegans that have been missing out on all of these amazing lines.â&#x20AC;? Specializing in local and international labels, Van De Vort offers womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparel and accessories from a variety of brands such as Flynn Skye, Mink Pink, Nightcap and Stone Cold Fox. Van De Vort said almost all of the lines she carries are exclusive to her store in the San Diego region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one else in San Diego that carries the lines we have,â&#x20AC;? said 27-yearold Van De Vort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m handpicking all of these lines that I feel have such a great presence in LA and nothing here.â&#x20AC;?

Van De Vort moved to Los Angeles in 2007, shortly after graduating with a degree in business and mass communications from Arizona State University. For six years, she

worked as a West Coast sales representative for labels such as Mink Pink and Miss Me Jeans. After maintaining a long-distance relationship with her Del Mar-based husband for a few years, Van De Vort decided to relocate to the seaside city in November. She signed a lease at Flower Hill Promenade in June and opened her boutique on July 7.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a special spot in my heart for this center,â&#x20AC;? said Van De Vort, who noted she purchased her wedding dress from Bliss Bride, which is located next to her store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just kind of worked out. There was a spot open and it all went pretty quickly.â&#x20AC;? Van De Vort has loved fashion since she was a child. She recalled using a journal to plan every outfit

she would wear for her first six months of middle school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I knew I had a problem,â&#x20AC;? Van De Vort said as she laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I love it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always my endgoal to open a boutique growing up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of fun, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy that I love it so much.â&#x20AC;? From a day at the beach to a night on the town, Van

Van De Vort said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for everyone.â&#x20AC;? Van De Vort is located at Flower Hill Promenade, 2710 Via de la Valle, Suite B-110, Del Mar.

Local teen’s concert to raise money to build a home for a needy family BY KRISTINA HOUCK Kirsten Chaplin helped build a community center last spring for families in Tijuana. The experience inspired the local resident to raise funds to help another family in need. “It was the most amazing experience in my life,” said Chaplin, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. “The people there are just so genuine. The kids especially touched my heart.” In coordination with Casas de Luz, the 15-yearold is organizing a benefit concert on Aug. 24 to raise $4,500 to build a home for a family in Tijuana. Funds raised at the concert will benefit Casas de Luz, a nonprofit social action project based out of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “Community service is really important to me,” said Chaplin, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. “I enjoy giving back to the community any way I can.” After Chaplin volunteered with Casas de Luz to build a community center, she approached Kathy Faller, the founder and executive director, with a proposal to raise funds to build another dwelling in Tijuana. “She is so committed to building this house,” said Faller, a Solana Beach resident and 15-year member of UUFSD. “It’s beautiful.” Faller was inspired to create Casas de Luz after she participated in a home build with another nonprofit. UUFSD built the organization’s first home in 2005. Since then, Casas de Luz has constructed 20 homes and two community centers, which serve breakfast to children and offer afterschool programs. The organization also brings weekly donations of construction

Kathy Faller with donations materials, furniture and other household goods to families in Tijuana. “We build homes for families that need a secure structure for their family — a place that’s dry and a place for their kids to get a good night’s sleep before they go to school,” Faller said. It takes at least 15 people to build a 16-by-20 home, Faller said. Homes are painted and feature drywall, electricity, windows and roof shingles. At the end of a build, which takes two days, the volunteers gather in a circle to pass the keys around to the family. “It’s transformational for me, it’s transformational for all the builders, and of course, it’s transformational for the families,” Faller said. “Everybody has tears in their eyes. It’s a very heartwarming and emotional experience.”

All proceeds from the “Building with Energy” concert will benefit the volunteer-run organization. The concert will feature folk-pop duo The Lovebirds and singer-songwriter Dawn Mitschele. “It’s going to be a really fun night,” Chaplin said. “It’s a great way for people to come together and help me build this house. I can’t do it without them and their donations.” The concert begins at 7 p.m. on Aug. 24 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito located at 1036 Solana Drive in Solana Beach. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $25 and can be purchased at www. building-with-energy.eventbrite.com. For more information about Casas de Luz, visit casasdeluz.org.

Horse trainer Doug Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roastedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY LESLIE CARTER Trainer Doug Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill has scaled the heights in thoroughbred horse racing over the years and has been a headliner at Del Mar many times. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Kentucky Derby-winning trainer (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Have Another in 2012). He has won the training title at the Del Mar meet four times. He has trained four Eclipse Award champions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those are the year-end Oscars for the sport. And he did bring back Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kid to win his second Cougar II Handicap on July 26. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the trainer for the Great Friends Stable, and a great friend of the Foundation of the same name. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill has vulnerabilities. There could still be a bit of bad feeling in some quarters over the moving of two-time Pacific Classic winner Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kid from another star trainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barn to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after the sudden sale of the horse last summer. You would need only some of the fingers of one hand to count his visits to the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle over the first three weeks of the season, and the trainer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to forget it. And what was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;milkshakeâ&#x20AC;? thing that kept cropping up? How surprising could it be that in the Great Friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; search for a racing season fundraiser, (that earned $25,000) there was this lightbulb that flashed the idea: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roast Doug Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill?â&#x20AC;? The dining room of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club seated 160 Great Friends on Saturday, Aug.

3. The dais was loaded with familiar personalities attached to the thoroughbred world. Among the talent assembled was Joe Harper, president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, a skilled and experienced roaster. Relaying the proceedings would require many symbols (##!#??) representing words you would rather not see in print. There was lots of laughter but there was also moaning and groaning to indicate that the room was with Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do notice that there are some people in here this evening that are not from the horse racing community. Just ask the table next to you when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand one of the jokes. They will interpret for you,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Kaplan, one of the event hosts. The Great Friends Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serving those who serve San Diego,â&#x20AC;? especially firefighters, police officers, military personnel and their families. The founders are two local guys, Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith (a Del Mar resident), now of the Mighty 1090â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott and BR Show. At midpoint in the event, there was a live auction to educate kids who, according to Kaplan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will become the future leaders of America.â&#x20AC;? Their program awards $5,000 a year for four years to selected collegebound children of these first responders. Artist Erik Skoldberg, who has a gallery at the Del Mar Plaza, made a

big splash at the event. He displayed an imposing painting reproducing the Official Program from the July 1939 racing season. He has created two editions of this work. One is in the Turf Club at Del Mar, and the second, brought in $7,000 at auction. Skoldberg offered three more of the same colorful painting for anyone else at the auction at $7,000 each (gallery price $7,500), and to return 10 percent to the Great Friends Foundation. Skoldberg also won the bidding with $4,000 for a luncheon for six at Pamplemousse Grille and three nights for two at the Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a stay that includes a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massage . When Trevor Denman took the microphone to do his turn, he expressed dismay at being asked to say mean things about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doug Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill, one of the nicest guys youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever meet.â&#x20AC;? He tried to get out of it with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a vegetarian, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do roasts.â&#x20AC;? So â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice Trevorâ&#x20AC;? was followed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;mean Trevorâ&#x20AC;? in the person of Frank Mirahmadi, a talented impressionist who had Trevorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South African accent down pretty well. Mirahmadi calls races at Oaklawn Park, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and on the California fair circuit. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;mean Trevorâ&#x20AC;? sizzled. The evening ended with milkshakes distributed for dessert. If you want to know the significance of that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ask someone you know that follows horse racing.

Letters/Commentary/Opinion

Rant with Randi: Simplicity BY RANDI CRAWFORD Adversity – such an important word today, mainly because it’s something most children (at least in this area), don’t experience. When I saw the title of the Drew Brees book, Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity, it hit me. I don’t think my kids would know adversity if it smacked them in the face. And, sadly, I’m not blaming them for this situation. This is completely my doing. I’m trying to think of a good place to start. I grew up in a time when we left the house with a group of friends, and didn’t come home until dinner. Obviously there were no cell phones, so nobody was checking on us. Our parents weren’t glued to the television watching news all day, because it didn’t exist. The closest we came to “stranger danger” was when our parents told us not to hitchhike because it wasn’t safe (and I’m not even sure we listened to that). The environment was carefree to say the least. My childhood memories are of riding bikes to the beach, eating frozen milkyways at the snack bar, getting a little crazy on “goosy night” (spraying dogs in the hood with shaving cream, just sayin’), riding my skateboard down hills without a helmet, and jumping on a trampoline without a net. Gasp! There’s no question that our parents knew a lot less and were lot less stressed. Ah, ignorance is bliss. I’ve had the conversation with friends for years: “Is life really that much different than when we grew up, or is it just that we are exposed to the news 24/7?” I believe that life is that much different. Every time I turn on the news, I read something more insane than the previous day’s news. Today it was something about a girl on a pot farm being sexually abused and kept in a 4x2x2 box. I’m not sure how we’re supposed to “parent” without having this constant fear that something horrible is about to happen to our kids. But we have to find a way, because what we’re doing is failing our children, big time.

Adversity. How do we teach our kids that some things are going to be difficult, without the constant nagging fear that something awful could happen in the process? We are worried about events that haven’t even happened, and yet somehow we find a way to prevent whatever we think might happen, just in case it does happen. What are we doing? Who do we think we’re helping? Just take the camping trip and my kids starting a fire with no adult supervision. I would never let that happen at my house – why not? I wouldn’t want my kids to get burned, they’ve never started a fire before (plus I’ve heard that burn patients are the most painful in the entire hospital), and it’s fire. If I never let my child experience starting a fire on a camping trip, look at how much he/she is losing. It’s an experience my kids were able to have, because I wasn’t there to stop it. Amen. Adversity comes in many shapes and forms. Let your kid lose and realize that it’s not the end of the world. Let them go boogie boarding and scrape their

Your Family Matters: Breaking bad habits BY DR. KEITH KANNER In order to truly break a habit, we need to fully understand exactly what a habit represents. In other words, habits are complex due to the fact that they are a part of our personality or Dr. Keith Kanner character. Here, the habit functions as an active component of our lifestyle serving commonly a multitude of functions or needs. In other words, there are always two sides to a bad habit: one which is maladaptive, but the other serves some sort of “need.” Giving up the symptom, or bad habit, is a loss and often leaves the individual feeling vulnerable or anxious because the underlying conflict then becomes exposed and uncomfortable. This dynamic helps to explain why often times the habit fails to extinguish and, although the person feels like a failure, another part of them feels protected. In the addiction literature, another way of conceptualizing this aspect of the habit is referred to as the “psychological addiction” aspect of the bad habit. The underlying and typically unconscious aspect of the secondary gain is never uniform. Depending upon the personality of the person, such unconscious explanations could range from desires to be taken care of to unconscious guilt and subsequent self-punishment, low self-esteem, and attention seeking — just to name a few. In order to fully conquer a bad habit, the individual must come to terms with this

aspect of the habit to fully master its representation and eventually let it go and perhaps find healthier ways of managing the anxiety. In many cases, psychotherapy is needed to help determine this aspect of the habit and assist the person in working through the process of change. Other modalities for change, such as life coaching with a mentor is also an option and is a more integrative approach. To further complicate matters, however, as in the case with smoking or drug usage, there is an additional component of a physical addiction, where the body craves the substance when it becomes absent. This is often why breaking a substance habit requires medical consultation in order to advise the patient on how to slowly wean the body. Preventively, assisting your child in developing healthy habits early paves the road for healthier functioning along the developmental path. 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.

Del Mar Racetrack seeks to raise autism awareness BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like many autistic children, 8-year-old Andrew finds large crowds and loud noises overwhelming. During Autism Awareness Day at the Del Mar Racetrack, however, Andrew and 19 other children with autism will get to enjoy the Del Mar horse races. “I think it’s going to be a great experience,” said Andrew’s mother, Krystal Langford, who noted her son loves animals. “If it was a normal group setting, he wouldn’t be able to attend because it would be too loud and overwhelming.” The children and their families will participate in a VIP stable tour and join the winner’s circle following the first race, named the “Autism Speaks Race.” Liz Feld, president of Autism Speaks, will also be in attendance. “It’s so important to acknowledge and recognize leadership like we’re getting from the Del Mar Racetrack,” Feld said. “They’re role models for people around the country for doing this. It’s hard to overstate how rare it is for a family affected by autism to go out and be able to enjoy a day like this.” The Del Mar Racetrack is sponsoring the event in coordination with Autism Speaks, a nonprofit organization dedicated to autism awareness, research and advocacy. Langford has volunteered for the organization since her son was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old. “Unfortunately, everybody knows somebody who is affected by autism,” said Langford. “It’s great to attach yourself to an organization that helps you understand what’s going on, not be all alone, and gives you

Autism Speaks has done that for my family.” The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines autism spectrum disorder as “a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior.” According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism affects about one in every 88 American children. “With autism as prevalent as it is now, you can go to any neighborhood and find a family that’s affected by autism,” Feld said. “For the community to recognize that this is part of everyday life now, it’s meaningful.” In addition to Autism Awareness Day at the Del Mar Racetrack, Autism Speaks is hosting other events in San Diego to raise awareness for autism, including Autism Awareness Night at PETCO Park on Sept. 20 and the 10th annual San Diego Walk Now for

Autism Speaks on Oct. 5 at Liberty Station. Langford is the resource fair chair for the walk, and her mother, Kay Curry, is the event co-chair. “The best ways to sensitize people to the needs of those affected by autism is to have events right in their own community so they can see this is going on everywhere,” Feld said. “There are people being diagnosed with autism every 15 minutes right in their neighborhood.” Langford said she is looking forward to spending a day at the races with her family, and is thankful the Del Mar Racetrack will raise autism awareness during the event, which will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Aug. 24. “I love that the Del Mar Racetrack is having this Awareness Day and helping spread the word,” Langford said. “My son’s a part of the community, so I want the community to know my son.” For more information about Autism Speaks, visit www.autismspeaks.org.

Rancho Santa Fe Review

To Your Health: Back to School BY DR. DANIA LINDENBERG, SCRIPPS HEALTH Are your kids ready to go back to school? Get them off to a good start by helping them stay safe and healthy on campus and in the classroom with these 10 tips. 1. Get a Check-Up Before the school year starts, schedule a physical exam with your child’s doctor to check their health and discuss any concerns such as allergies or nutrition. Give kids the chance to have some “private time” with the doctor as well to discuss topics they may not feel comfortable talking about in front of parents. 2. Keep Immunizations Current Under the California School Immunization Law, children are required to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, child care centers and other educational programs. Immunizations required to attend kindergarten include polio, DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), hepatitis B, and varicella (chicken pox). All students entering seventh grade will also need proof of an adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster immunization (Tdap) in order to begin school. 3. Update Medical Information Let the school know of any medications your child takes both at home and at school, as well as any medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, allergies or psychological issues. Provide contact information for your pediatrician along with medical emergency instructions. 4. Review Safety Rules Remind children not to talk to strangers and never to get into a stranger’s car, no matter what the circumstances. Choose a “code word” that only you, your children and trusted friends and family members know in case someone else has to pick them up, and instruct your children never to trust anyone who doesn’t know the code word. Teach your kids their phone number and address. Instruct kids to find a parent, teacher or other trusted adult immediately if they don’t feel safe. 5. Establish Emergency Procedures Familiarize your family with the school’s emergency procedures, and provide current contact information for

parents and other relatives. Decide on a meeting point near the school where you can meet your child in case of emergency if you cannot reach him or her by telephone. If your child is old enough to use a cell phone, it may be a good idea to provide one that is reserved only for urgent situations. 6. Make Helmets a Must Does your child ride a bike to school? Helmet use can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85 percent. Choose a helmet that meets federal safety standards and fits correctly. According to the National Safety Council, a helmet should fit low and snug across the forehead; if you look up and can’t see the helmet, it is too far back. 7. Avoid Backpack Overload A backpack that is too heavy or worn incorrectly can strain a child’s neck or back and may cause injury. Backpacks should be lightweight with two wide, wellpadded shoulder straps, a padded back and a waist strap. Pull both straps tightly enough so that the pack fits snugly against the back but doesn’t pull on the shoulders. Distribute the weight of items within the

pack evenly on both sides, and keep it light; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that backpacks not exceed 10 to 20 percent of the child’s weight. Consider a rolling backpack if allowed by the school. 8. Stand Up to Bullying Bullying is a serious problem, yet many victims don’t speak up for fear or ridicule or retaliation. If you suspect your child is a victim of bullying, encourage him or her to tell you what is going on. Ask questions and offer support and comfort. Controlling your own emotions can make it easier for your child to open up to you about what he or she needs to feel safe. Talk to teachers and administrators about the situation. 9. Set Reasonable Schedules Sports and extra-curricular activities help kids learn skills, socialize, and have fun, but too much of a good thing can become stressful and ultimately negate the benefits. Let kids choose what they want to participate in and change or drop activities that aren’t enjoyable or become too demanding. Allow for unscheduled time to rest and relax at home with the family. 10. Keep Talking With everyone on busy schedules, it can be difficult to find time to sit and talk with your kids. Make a point of asking your children about their day every afternoon or evening. Give them your full attention and let them know you are interested in their lives. Not only does this let your kids know you care, it can help open the door to conversations about problems or concerns.

Rats or gophers destroying your yard?

Barn Owls! Tired of rodents gnawing on your fruit trees, gophers snatching your vegetation from below, or rats scuttling -up your downspout? Invite a couple of barn owls over and they’ll gobble up the vermin at a rate of 2,000 a year. “Barn owls are incredibly widespread in America, so when you put up your nest box, you’ll start seeing barn owls take roost in them in short order, and then they’ll start going to work for you,” said Tom Stephan, master falconer, raptor expert and owner of Barn Owl Boxes in Ramona. “Using natural predators is more effective than conventional trapping or poisons, it’s economical, eco-friendly, and protects local wildlife,” he added. Tom and his team hand make every owl box out of Luan Mahogany panels made from recycled materials. For as little as $350.00 installed on a galvanized pole or in a tree. And buying a box is a one-time investment, they cost nothing to maintain. The Hoo’s Hoo box comes with an installed camera and is one of their best sellers. Just connect the camera to your TV or computer and enjoy the best reality show you’ll ever see, watching the babies is really fun! Tom’s passion for birds of prey began in 1962 while doing research for a wild animal report in second grade. This led to much climbing of trees to better observe birds of prey, which led to a career as a tree trimmer (and later a certified arborist). While bidding a job, he noticed an improperly hung owl box in a potential client’s yard. He offered to install it at the proper height and angle needed to attract owls, and three days later the lady was thrilled to report that a pair of barn owls had begun nesting in it. “This was the first owl nest box I installed,” said Tom. “Now, nearly 20 years later I have over 34,000 under my belt. I spend my days sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge of nature and its in habitants with people around the world. This is my definition of success.”

Willis Allen Realtor Linda Sansone Prudential California Realty mobile app provides named One of Nation’s Top 250 Realtors agents, homebuyers unprecedented access Willis Allen Real Estate’s Linda Sansone has made the top 250 of REAL Trend’s Top 1,000 Realtors list. The list, compiled by Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends, Inc., names the top real estate professionals in the country based on the amount of closed transaction volume for 2012. Linda Sansone came in at number 144, which makes her the second-highest single agent seller in all of San Diego County. “I am thrilled to be recognized on such a prestigious list,” says Sansone. “Drive, determination and persistence have been trademarks throughout my life. My position as a Top 250 Realtor is a representation of the dozens of clients that I help each year achieve their home ownership dreams. There’s no better feeling than matching the right client with the right property at the right price.” Willis Allen’s President and Owner Andrew E. Nelson says Sansone exemplifies the hard work, professionalism and client-centric attitude that has been a Willis Allen Real Estate trademark for nearly 100 years. “Since 1914, Willis Allen Realtors such as Linda have lived up to the high standards set by the exclusive brand that is Willis Allen. Our agents are known for more than just their superior industry knowledge. It’s when you combine that with the highest level of client service and an extreme passion for the real estate business that you get something special like we have at Willis Allen.” Linda Sansone has been selling real estate for more than 16 years. Prior to becoming a Realtor, Linda Sansone – a CPA – was a CFO, controller and treasurer at a number of firms in Boston, Mass., where she negotiated large vendor

Linda Sansone purchase contracts. Sansone says it’s that “ever-demanding corporate-world” experience that helps her get the deal done as a Realtor. Linda Sansone is a member of the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. She is a Certified Public Accountant in Massachusetts and California, and resides in Rancho Santa Fe with her husband Tom. To reach Willis Allen Realtor Linda Sansone, call (858) 775-6356.

Prudential California Realty, one of the nation’s largest residential brokerages and soon to be Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has launched an innovative new technology platform that is changing how people buy and sell homes. Customized for both agents and their clients, the new technology is integrated into Prudential California’s new mobile app, now available for free for iOS Android devices. Additionally, the newly redesigned Prudential California website, www.PrudentialCal. com, is now more easily accessible on mobile devices and tablets. “Our technology platform sets a new industry standard, putting quick and detailed information about home listings at the fingertips of interested buyers,” said David M. Cabot, president and chief executive officer at Prudential California Realty. “This level of interactive listing information enables buyers to find and view properties faster, which will also help them work with their agents to identify the right home more quickly.” The new mobile app uses HomeScan technology to determine your location and find all listings and open houses nearby, and also provides driving directions. Buyers who are looking for homes in specific neighborhoods can use their touch screen to draw an area on a map, which then locates listings that are within the desired area. In addition to browsing photos and listing details, buyers can view a fully personalized profile for the listing agent, request additional property information and schedule a tour. The mobile app also allows listings to be shared via email, text message, Twitter and Facebook. Additionally, the newly-redesigned Pru-

dential California website is the first in Southern California to feature responsive web design (RWD) technology, meaning that images and other content are automatically resized to perfectly fit the monitor, tablet or smartphone on which they are being viewed. This feature is especially important for viewing photos and navigating through virtual property tours. Buyers can also learn more about their new prospective communities by accessing neighborhood reviews and stay up-to-date on local real estate industry information through the Prudential news feed and brokerage blog. Prudential California’s new technology platform also includes an innovative and highly advanced collection of tools specifically for agents through the MyConnect portal. MyConnect assists with virtual tours, digital brochures and postcards to promote listings, and has social media sharing capabilities. Agents can manage listings, their calendars and incoming sales leads in one place, and can access tools for multi-language translation to better serve international clients. “We’re providing a new level of access and convenience for home buyers and sellers,” said Leeann Noll-Iacino, chief operating officer at Prudential California Realty. “In the luxury real estate market, listed properties can come and go very quickly, and we have incomparable technology to make the buying and selling process faster and easier.” With more than 3,200 sales associates located in 62 offices across Southern California and the Central Coast, Prudential California Realty is one of the top five brokerages in the nation.
