RSF School District may be a RSF Garden Club buyer BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe School District officials have expressed an interest in purchasing the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, now up for sale. At its Sept. 11 board meeting, the RSF School District board discussed pursuing the purchase of both the RSF Garden Club clubhouse and the RSF Association-owned “Hat” parcel, a parcel of land next to the Mimosa property the district owns. Situated between Mimosa and El Fuego, the “Hat” parcel was named such as it’s shaped like a witch’s hat. A special meeting will be set to discuss the district’s next steps for purchasing the properties and to establish Superintendent Lindy Delaney as the negotiator on the district’s behalf. All negotiations regarding price would be conducted in closed sessions.
RSF School’s Prop 39 projects moving forward BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe School District will take advantage of funding from Prop 39, the Clean Energy Jobs Act to help make its school more energy-efficient. Superintendent Lindy Delaney said they are interested in doing anything they can to be more efficient as they have seen significant increases in their energy bills since rates went up — the district’s last bill was for $20,000. The district will receive $250,000 over the next five years and its has selected projects to complete such as a new chiller (a system that produces chilled water to cool air); new LED lighting in the 400 building, one of the older buildings on campus; and replacing the bulbs in the parking lot lights. The work is expected to cost around $240,000. Delaney said over the next eight months they will work on approvals and going out to bid for the projects, with work expected to be complete next summer. The district will be out of pocket on the projects and then reimbursed by the state, Delaney said.
The district has always been interested in acquiring contiguous properties for uses such as more ballfields or extra parking. “As superintendent of the school district, it’s clear one task has always been looking at properties adjacent to us and how we can take care of the school and the community for the long term,” Delaney said. “We’re always looking at possibilities to enhance opportunities we have here.” The Rancho Santa Fe Association was preparing to purchase the RSF Garden Club for $2.4 million until the purchase was vetoed by a community-wide vote this spring. Last week, realtors from Colliers International sent out an offering memorandum. Colliers will take bids until Oct. 10. As outlined by the offering memorandum, interested parties have to
submit a letter of interest to be considered by the Garden Club board. An initial deposit of 5 percent of the purchase price would be placed into escrow and would be refundable during a 30-day due diligence period. “It’s definitely wise for us to look at it further,” RSF School District trustee Tyler Seltzer said, comparing the neighboring properties as pieces in a larger puzzle. “Anytime something comes up close to us ... we should dig into it.” Trustee Todd Frank said it’s also important for them to find out how the school community feels about the purchases. “Because we have been financially conservative, we do have the money in the bank,” Delaney said. “We’re in a good position to make a good decision.” The RSF Garden Club property is 1.04 acres, See BUYER, page 26

Fairgrounds looks to create its own craft beer brand with brewery, restaurant BY JOE TASH Hoping to tap into a growing craft beer industry in San Diego County, the agency that operates the Del Mar Fairgrounds is moving forward with plans to build a micro-brewery inside an existing, under-used satellite wagering facility on its 400-
acre property. The brewery would not only brew beer for the fairgrounds’ own brand for consumption during events at the venue, including the annual San Diego County Fair and horse racing meets, but also potentially sell its product off-site, officials said.
“It’s a growth industry, we want to be a part of that,” said Fred Schenk, a Carmel Valley resident and president of the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which oversees the state-owned fairgrounds. “We’re confident that with the millions
of people we attract to the fairgrounds, it’ll be very successful.” The board voted 5-1 at its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10, to issue a “request for proposals” from companies interested in operating the fairgrounds brewery. It was the third time this year
the board has taken action on the micro-brewery proposal. In February, the board rejected a proposed partnership with Blue Moon Brewery, a subsidiary of beer giant MillerCoors, to operate a See BEER, page 26

Robotics booming at R. Roger Rowe BY KAREN BILLING At R. Roger Rowe School, 44 percent of first graders are participating in the robotics program this year. The school is fielding 44 robotics teams, including 31 percent of second grade, 23 percent of third grade, 35 percent of fourth grade and 39 percent of fifth grade. In the middle school, there are two FIRST LEGO League (FLL) teams and five FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams. “Where the program has gone is really remarkable,” said RSF School District Board Trustee Todd Buchner, noting it is a tribute to Superintendent Lindy Delaney’s leadership. At the August meeting, the board approved the district’s offering for robotics, allocating $42,500 to staff coaches just like the board allocates to the district’s athletics program. Trustee Todd Frank said that he would be interested in polling parents to find out what their expectations are for the program, as well as what sparked their child’s interest to participate and make note of any attrition and the causes. “There’s lots of excitement now, which is great,” Frank said. “I hope everybody stays and really enjoys it.”
RSF Fire District to recognize Fire Prevention Week with two events National Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 5-11, and the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District (RSFFPD) will host two community events to recognize the annual awareness campaign.

Traffic collision on La Granada sends four to hospital On Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 2:34 p.m., firefighters from the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District and Encinitas Fire Department responded to the report of a traffic collision on La Granada near the intersection of Rambla de las Flores. When they arrived on the scene, rescue crews found a mid-sized sedan and SUV had collided. Crews quickly worked to extricate the driver of the mid-sized vehicle. The adult female and her three passengers, who were minors, were transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla via ambulance. The driver of the SUV was checked for injuries but declined further treatment. There were no other passengers in the vehicle. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the collision.

New RSF Library Branch Manager welcomes community input RSF Library’s Rancho Days event to include pie-eating contest BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Library’s new Branch Manager Haley Kwon has been charmed by the village’s “sweet, down-home� character, the simple pleasure of visiting the local library and people’s enjoyment of a slower speed of time. “It’s a small town and the library is a place for people to connect,� Kwon said. “People have a different sense of time here, they come in to see you rather than call you on the phone or send an email. I enjoy both, the super speedy as well as the slower pace, but it’s cool to have that communication.� Kwon encourages that communication and input as she looks to make sure all the library patrons’ needs are met. In July, Kwon replaced Caryl Andrews, who was transferred to Poway. Kwon comes to Rancho Santa Fe from the La Mesa Library, where she was a library technician. This is her first time taking the lead over a branch and said she likes
The Rancho Santa Fe Library’s new Branch Manager Haley Kwon. Photo by Karen Billing the ability to articulate and formulate decisions that will have an impact. “It’s a smaller branch so I can be much more thoughtful and much more participatory, sharing ideas with the staff and the community about what they’d like to see more of in the collection and in the programs,� Kwon said. Kwon originally started out in education, working with the San Diego Unified School District, but when an opportunity arose to become a library technician she found she preferred it to being in the classroom. Born in South Korea, Kwon wasn’t fluent in English until she was in the third grade. Her love of words and reading started young — her favorite reads now are sociology books and nonfiction works. In her short time in Rancho Santa Fe, Kwon has already overseen some big changes at the library. Over the summer the library completed several Ameri-
cans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, including adding spaces to the parking lot and a new restroom accessed in the library’s Garden Room. Kwon wanted to give the Garden Room an update and last week they rearranged some of the book shelves and moved the magazine displays to open the room up more for activities such as author talks. She said some library staff said they had wanted to make those moves for 25 years — Kwon said it all goes back to having those discussions with staff and the community about what they want and finding ways to make it happen. Kwon said the library’s biggest needs are in adult programming. She aims to create more variety, offering educational or health activities, whatever the members are looking for.
“It’s just really about providing enrichment and stimulation in the community,� Kwon said. “In terms of what is possible and what I’m willing to offer the community, it’s really going to be different.� One of the first places residents will see change will be in the library’s Rancho Days offering. The RSF Library Guild will host its traditional Petals and Prose at the RSF Garden Club on Tuesday, Oct. 7, but instead of the library’s usual movie screening afterward, they will host an all-American pie-eating contest, around 7:15 p.m. Guild members had told Kwon they remembered past Rancho Days with pieeating contest fun and she wanted to refresh that tradition to make new memories for the next generation. She loves the “homey� idea of bringing neighbors
of all ages together around an old tradition. “I like the idea of bringing together what is disparate,� Kwon said. The Oct. 7 event will also feature music from the chorales of Santa Fe Christian School and desserts. That day will be full of events at the library, a “library block party,� Kwon said. The RSF Library Guild will be hosting its author discussion and luncheon with T. Jefferson Parker, author of “Full Measure,� at 11:30 a.m. and the library will have extended open house hours until 8 p.m. For tickets to the author talk, visit rsflibraryguild.org/ author-talks. Don’t forget the Book Cellar’s semi-annual half price sale will be held Friday, Oct. 3 through Saturday, Oct. 4. All items are 50 percent off from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
RSF Library to offer free chair yoga classes The Rancho Santa Fe Library is offering a new fitness class, beginning Sept. 25. Led by Eveline Bustillos of Rancho Santa Fe-based Coldwell Banker, the free chair yoga class is open to all age 16 and older. Classes will take place Thursdays at 9:15 a.m. Equipment will be provided, but childcare will not. For more information, call 858-756-4780.

Two men to share stories of adventure, hardship and unity at Sept. 28 Viewpoints event in RSF BY JOE TASH One man is a mountain climber, inspirational speaker and cultural anthropologist. The other survived a 1,000-mile trek through war zones in Africa as a young boy, and has since written a best-selling book about his experience. The two men, now close friends, collaborators and housemates, will share their divergent tales of adversity as part of the Viewpoints lecture series at the Village Community Presbyterian Church, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28. Alepho Deng, a native of South Sudan and one of the “Lost Boys” who fled from that country’s civil war, and Jeff Salz, who began traveling the world at age 17 and has led numerous mountain-climbing expeditions in South America, the Himalayas and elsewhere, have appeared around the United States in the two-man performance piece they co-wrote, called “Across Worlds,” which Salz has dubbed “lecture theater.” One of the themes of their talk in Rancho Santa Fe will be that people may be separated by small things, like their cultural preferences, but united by big ideas, such as values and aspirations. “We are united by a common spirit. Human beings from dissimilar cultures can unite around very high goals and understandings,” said Salz. “The reason that’s important is that the world is now being shattered by fundamentalism, greed and tribalism.” On a recent morning, Salz and Deng spoke with a reporter on the deck of the Encinitas house Deng shares with Salz and his
girlfriend. They were joined by Judy Bernstein, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who met Deng shortly after his arrival in San Diego in 2001. Bernstein helped edit the stories of Deng, his brother, Benson Deng, and cousin, Benjamin Ajak, which were published in the 2005 memoir “They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys From Sudan.” A 10th anniversary edition of the book is due out next year. A film version of the story of Sudan’s Lost Boys, “The Good Lie,” starring Reese Witherspoon, is set to come out in October. The plot centers around an American woman who helps a groups of Sudanese refugees. While the film is not specifically based on the trio’s book, Deng did voice-overs for the movie. He said, “I feel 90 percent of the story resembles our story.” The film’s screenwriter, Margaret Nagle, met with Bernstein, and she also read an early version of the book, Bernstein said. Since his arrival in the United States, Deng has spoken at hundreds of schools and colleges. The Sept. 28 appearance in Rancho Santa Fe marks a return of sorts. One of his earliest speaking engagements was at the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club in 2003. “I was probably dead by nervousness. I don’t remember anything I said,” he said. Deng was only about 5 years old when attacks by soldiers on his village caused him to flee for his life. Along his trek, he witnessed acts of violence, along with people starving and dying of thirst. He made it to a refugee camp in Kenya, where he lived for nine years before emigrating from Africa to the United States.
(L-R) Judy Bernstein, Alepho Deng and Jeff Salz. Along with public speaking and writing Salz and Bernstein, is that it is good to have his book, Deng has tried his hand at acting, a map of where his life is going, even including a turn as an extra in the film though he was raised to focus on the here “Master and Commander,” and he also and now. “As Lost Boys, we didn’t have a map, we worked for Kaiser Permanente for five years just walked, that’s only to survive, so I still as a file clerk. He returned to South Sudan once, in carry that part of me,” Deng said. “I want to 2008, when he visited his mother, who had continue to tell this story. I don’t know where it’s going. Maybe that’s the future. moved to the capital, Juba. He and Salz share a goal of establishing Maybe I will look back 40 years from now a residential “peace academy” in South Su- and say, ‘I did it, I told this story.’ My story dan, to provide shelter for war orphans in is everybody’s story, people relate.” For tickets to the Sept. 28 talk by Deng his native country, and hopefully instill lessons of peace and reconciliation in future and Salz, visit www.villageviewpoints.com or call (858) 381-8070. The lecture series is generations. As for his own plans, Deng said one of jointly sponsored by the Village Church and the lessons he has learned from his friends, the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.

Red Envelope Friday fundraiser returns Sept. 26 to benefit R. Roger Rowe School The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation’s annual Red Envelope Friday fundraiser returns Sept. 26. All families are encouraged to contribute “Your Share” in support of a world-class education for their children at R. Roger Rowe School during Red Envelope Friday. Making a contribution is easy! On Sept. 26, volunteers will be at drop off and pick up lines at the school collecting pledge forms and contributions. Also, red boxes will be located at the office and around campus where parents and family members can drop their contributions. Online contributions are also accepted at rsfef.org. All major credit and debit cards are accepted. Pledges for future contributions are encouraged and accepted if payment cannot be made by Sept. 26. R. Roger Rowe, A Truly Extraordinary School This year, the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation is committed to raising $1.3 million, plus $30,000 in operating expenses, to enhance the school’s operating budget, providing a superior education for all students. While this funding impacts almost every facet of the school district, support for the school is concentrated in three areas: • Small class sizes: R. Roger Rowe School classrooms have an average of 18 students compared to 32 in most public schools • Focused academics: Funding provides for specialists in the areas of science, Spanish, math, athletics, art, music, drama and technology. In addition, the school has fully accredited literacy coaches • Robust enrichment: Programs include Oceans Week, Science Discovery Day, Tech 21 Science Lab, Robotics, and Kind To The Core To learn more, visit www.rsfef.org. Give With Your Heart On average, it costs $13,871 to educate each child at R. Roger Rowe School, comparable to the cost of a private school. The Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation’s annual grant is what makes the difference between having 18 or 32
children in each class. The foundation is asking for $1,739 per student and this will cover “Your Share” of what it costs to maintain and enhance the programs and standards of the children’s education. Join the foundation in the courtyard after school on Sept. 26 to watch the giving thermometer heat up as contributions flow in. Leucadia Pizza and Rita’s Ices will be on hand with tasty treats, and a special guest will be sitting in the dunk tank. For more information about Red Envelope Friday or to make a contribution, contact the foundation at 858-756-1141 ext. 208 or www.rsfef.org.

Pedal the Cause to take place Sept. 20-21 in San Diego San Diego’s annual Pedal the Cause cycling fundraiser kicks off Sept. 20. The two-day event raises money for cancer research in San Diego. Pedal the Cause was founded in St. Louis in 2009 by Bill Koman, a two-time lymphoma survivor. After beating cancer for the second time, Koman wanted to give back to the Siteman Cancer Center where he was treated. He founded Pedal the Cause with the goal that 100 percent of proceeds stay in St. Louis. Koman has since brought his cancer advocacy and philanthropy to San Diego. He became a board member of the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and formed a separate nonprofit to fund and produce Pedal the Cause San Diego. The event raises funds for cancer research at all three of San Diego’s NCI-designated Cancer Centers: UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the Salk Institute.

Patriot Profiles: ‘He served honorably and he died, and we were there to bury him’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY In Miramar National Cemetery, each white tombstone has a priceless story. For their country, their families, their passion for liberty, service men and women slumber, far from calls to action and shielded from evil threats. Under a cloudless sky, an American flag waves over the meticulously manicured lawn; its stars and stripes a stark reminder of the price paid by those bonded briefly in war, and now timelessly in peace. Two Army Honor Guardsmen in crisp dress blues were there an hour early, practicing as they do before every funeral. A car ceremoniously made its way to Shelter B, carrying a deceased 2nd Lieutenant who served in World War II. With solemnity, Cpl. John Gabino and Officer Candidate Eduard Cruz carried the remains from the car, to be placed before a small gathering of family and friends. Cpl. Gabino raised the bugle and the familiar sound of “Taps” pierced the reverent aura. Cpl. Gabino and OC Cruz then folded the flag with precise movements to be presented to the white-haired widow in a wheelchair. She leaned over, kissing it gently, as gratitude was expressed verbally. In three-and-a-half years, Cpl. Gabino has repeated simple and elaborate funeral details nearly 1,100 times as an active-duty Army National Guardsman belonging to the Honor Guard. He travels constantly, along with arranging, scheduling and following up with cemeteries, mortuaries and families to give due honor and respect to all military members who have earned an honorable discharge. For this 23-year-old with Mexican-American heritage, who has lived his whole life in San Diego, a desire to serve began in high school. “To me, it’s a moral obligation as a male to join the military once you turn 18 — something you have to do to serve your country for a little bit,” Gabino said. He had a brother who joined before him. “I didn’t want to be that older person that says, ‘Oh, I was going to join, but this happened and that happened and I didn’t. “I joined the Army National Guard, thinking I was joining the army,” laughs Gabino. No regrets as Gabino tackled regular Army basic training and schooling to be a combat engineer. “I’m an expert on demolition and blowing things up. I can do route clearance, mine sweeping … I look for Improvised Explosive Devices and bombs.” Gabino is with Detachment 1 Bravo Company of the 578th Brigade Engineer Battalion based in National City. “We train for going overseas, natural disasters, fires, earthquakes, riots — for everything that can happen in California and [foreign] wars,” Gabino said. Readiness is every day 24/7, being prepared for any call. “I can’t deny whatever my superiors ask of me because I’m on active orders. You go in like a regular job; you come out like a regular job. You just wear the uniform.” As one of 10 California Honor Guard teams, Gabino’s Team Five does several services a day. There are two National Cemeteries in San Diego, but the Army Honor Guard does service anywhere. “We’ve done it on a beach, in a house, in a backyard.” At any time or day they jump through hoops to accommodate. He emphasizes, “Honors are free of charge — they [the families] don’t have to pay anything.” They just have to call, send a picture, dog tags, a DD214 active-duty release form or something to identify that person served. From there, Gabino promises, “We’ll handle everything.”* Battalion training and unit preparedness is one side of Gabino’s life, but his main job is assuring that veterans receive thanks. “To be able to do this is an honor. We don’t know his story, we don’t know if his buddy died next to him. They know — all I can do is my best to provide the best funeral I can, even if I don’t know this guy. The family is going to be there — we’re going to be the last ones they see in uniform honoring their deceased,” Gabino said. “Us giving them flags show their grandfather, father, dad, uncle did a great thing for his country. He served honorably and he died and we were there to bury him.” Services for Active-Duty KIAs (killed in action) are intense, according to Gabino. “The family is with us while we go pick up the body at the airport and that’s the first time the family sees them. As soon as they [the plane] comes down, we bring it out, put it in the church truck for the family to have a couple minutes with them. The family bitterly cries, in a lot of pain. That’s when it really hits you.” Services for KIAs include an eight-man rifle firing party and six soldiers folding the flag, still as a post, using hands
CPL John Gabino at Miramar National Cemetery. Photo by Jeanne McKinney only. “The Honor Guard is not for everybody,” Gabino said. “We have a lot of people that volunteer for it, but they come and go. Some people — they do them, but eventually it starts getting to them and they get out. You have to learn to put aside your emotions for a bit.” Emotions took a front seat when a member of his unit died in a motorcycle accident. “All my fellow soldiers were there and I was in charge of that service, so I did the best I could. We’re all family, so we took it pretty hard when he died.” Describing military life so far, “Sometimes it’s pretty, sometimes it’s not, sometimes it can be dirty and sometimes it’s clean. You make the best of it.” Gabino did more than make the best of it, earning first place at the Battalion level two years in a row in the Army’s Best Warrior Competition. This year a grueling hike up the infamous “Stairway to Heaven” in Mission Trails wearing full battle rattle was on the table. Representing his Battalion in the Brigade competition, he was also tested on weapon skills, policies, regulations, current events, land navigation — all under the scrutiny of his “Superiors’ Superiors.” Lugging a heavy rucksack, wearing a helmet, bullet-proof vest, boots, carrying a weapon in 115-degree desert heat while racing the clock, or hiking up a 45-degree, mile-high slope with the same gear is easier than managing life. “I want to be good at my job, but I want to be prepared for the future, so I keep studying, which is draining.” (Gabino attends See PATRIOT, page 17

Local mom invents mess-proof plate BY NINA GARIN, SPECIAL TO THE RSF REVIEW As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. And after an embarrassing dinner out with her toddler — in which spaghetti ended up on a stranger’s head — Karen Weiss Kart needed a plate that couldn’t be lifted or moved. Since she couldn’t find one, Kart created the company Prodigi Kids and invented the Adi, a plate engineered to stay in place. Now the former attorney turned mother of three is going to Kickstarter, the fundraising website, to launch the Adi plate. She held a party Sept. 13 at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Along with introducing parents to the penguinshaped plate, she is donating some proceeds to the San Diego Food Bank. The local resident who moved to this area from Forest Hills, N.Y. in 2005, tells us about her new role as an inventor. Q: What is the Adi plate? A: It’s a two-piece plate and lid for children 5 months through four years. Adi is the only plate specifically engineered to stay in place. Its innovative, patentpending design includes a strong suction base, combined with a quick release tab allowing for easy parent removal. The tab’s clever placement is out of sight and out of reach for curious little fingers. Together, they keep your child’s food in place on a table or high chair so you can enjoy a mess-free mealtime. Q: Where does the name come from? A: The name Adi is derived from the Adélie penguin, which live along the coast of the Antarctic, love to swim, and eat their fish whole. Q: Where did you get the idea? A: In 2008, my husband and I were eating dinner out with our 18-month old daughter. I put a self-adhesive place mat on the tabletop and placed small pieces of spaghetti and meatballs, red sauce, and peas on it. We were all happily enjoying the start of our meal until my curious toddler figured out how to pull the place mat off the table. Within a second, she hurled it in the air like a Frisbee,

Karen Weiss Kart of Prodigi Kids. Photo by Christian Rodas and the food went flying everywhere. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it land on the head and shoulder of a man seated at the table behind us. His nice, white dress shirt was covered in red sauce. Spaghetti dangled from his head . . . I was mortified and frustrated. In that moment, I thought to myself, “There’s got to be a better way!” From that point forward, I was determined to invent a plate that would solve this problem once and for all and make parents’ lives easier at mealtime. Q: Did you have any experience with inventing? A: This is my first invention. I’ve always been creative and a problem solver, so the process came naturally to me. I just love the science and the art behind inventing something and the tenacity it takes to finish it. Q: Tell us about the process you’ve gone through to get the plate made. A: Our prototype was developed by a team of engineering students at UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. Then, in 2013, we collaborated with an exceptional designer with experience designing top notch children’s products to create a more retail-ready prototype. Q: Have you tried the plate on your own kids (now ages 8, 6 and 3)? Do they like it? A: Yes, they love it! If my three kids can’t lift it off the table, then yours can’t either. Q: Given your expertise, what are the most difficult foods to clean up off the floor? A: Pasta with red sauce, raspberries and blueberries. Those are a two-step process to clean. You have to pick them up and then wipe the floor clean to remove any residual liquid/stain. Q: What were you doing before you started working on Adi? A: Before founding Prodigi Kids, I practiced law in New York for nine years as a trial attorney and then in my own law practice, where I learned the ins and outs of running a business. Since moving to San Diego, I’ve been an adjunct professor teaching law-related classes. Now I work full time with Prodigi Kids. Q: Why did you chose to release Adi through Kickstarter? A: It costs a lot of money to bring a product to market that many people may not realize. If you don’t have the money yourself, then you need to turn to the crowd for help. I am so close to finishing and need the help of Kickstarters to reach the finish line. Right now, I am 100 percent done with development. Our patent has been approved. The support I receive from backers will go toward the purchase of the production tools and minimum order from the manufacturer. It’s exciting because Adi will be made in the USA, which is something that I’m really proud of. Our manufacturer is located right here in Southern California. Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: I love rap music and hip hop. Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend. A: Spending time with family and friends. It’s the time together that I cherish. I’m happy to do whatever my family is in the mood to do, but if I had to describe my ideal weekend, it would be going to the beach with my kids and having a date night with my husband.

TPHS student publishes novel ‘Don’t Mistake the Ashes for Dust’ BY KAREN BILLING Many people spend months, even years, to write a novel. Local teenager Lily Nilipour was able to craft a 50,000word novel in one month last year. Her novel, “Don’t Mistake the Ashes for Dust,� offers insights into life as an adolescent. In the past Lily, a 15-year-old sophomore at Torrey Pines High School, wrote fantasy, but this book was her first departure into a new genre. She outgrew the dragons and has gone more into reality. Lily has been writing for as long as she can remember. “It started out as a hobby, but in sixth grade, I had a really good teacher and she inspired me to continue to write,� Lily said. “That’s when I began to have a true passion for writing.� That special teacher for Lily was Julia Hinton at Torrey Hills Elementary School and from that point on Lily spent every bit of her few spare moments of time writing stories and poems. Last year a friend informed her about a program as part of National Novel Writing Month. If young authors could pen 50,000 words in the month of November, as a reward they would get two free copies of their published works. “I just wanted to see if I could reach such a big amount of pages and words,� Lily said. The “NaNoWriMo� program helps students with support from fellow writers, track their progress and develop a schedule for work — for Lily that meant a goal to reach 2,000 words a day. Despite a packed schedule, Lily was able to accomplish the challenge and then went through the editing process, designed a book cover and published the book through CreateSpace. The book was published in June. “It was really rewarding when it was published and to see it in my hand,� Lily said. “It was really cool.� Lily describes her book’s tone as “mellow and melancholy.� She left the main character ambiguous, without a name or identity — the plot follows what happens after she meets a unique girl at school, the girl who reminds her of ashes.
way into a dark tunnel, the shortest way out is behind you, where you entered,� Lily wrote. “And, though heading back to the start will grant you reassuring light and color that you are used to, that light and color will get you nowhere.� Lily’s favorite subject in school is English and she recently joined the staff of the school’s award-winning newspaper, The Falconer. She also stays busy playing the piano and playing on the school tennis team. “Hopefully I will find the time to work on another novel,� Lily said. “Don’t Mistake the Ashes for Dust� is available on Amazon.com.

That’s what I mean when I say she reminded me of ashes.� One review on Amazon cites the reader’s favorite paragraph of Lily’s 50,000 words: “Because when you cannot see the light half-

Santa Fe Christian Schools (SFC) recently teamed up with Bridge of Hope, and Anchor and Venture Churches to distribute approximately 350 backpacks to City Heights students. Elementary and high school students from City Heights received backpacks filled with school supplies including: binders, paper, pens, pencils, folders, glue sticks, crayons or markers and spiral notebooks. The event, now in its fourth year, distributed 75 more backpacks than 2013 — a 27 percent increase in donations. “Just 30 minutes away, in our own country, is a life that is extremely different and difficult,� said SFC volunteer Melissa Drake. “The backpacks are just one small way SFC students can help.� SFC’s middle school students organized the collection of supplies and helped distribute the backpacks with volunteers from Anchor and Venture Churches. Students with the greatest need for the backpacks were identified with the help of Bridge of Hope, a nonprofit that helps families and refugees facing crisis around the world.

RSF Community Center’s Back-to- School Bash Fun was everywhere you looked at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center’s Back-to- School Bash on Sept. 12. Outside the RSF Community Center, kids flew higher than the village buildings on bungee jump cords, dined on popcorn and pizza, and tried their luck at carnival games. Inside the colorfully decorated Community Center, kids lined up to test their skills on a wipeout obstacle course, get their faces painted or play games such as Skeeball manned by National Charity League teen volunteers.

Upcoming 2014 San Diego Film Festival to feature a variety of screenings, events BY JEANNE FERRIS The San Diego Film Festival is gearing up for five days of exciting U.S. premieres — and some are world premieres of groundbreaking independent films by emerging filmmakers, local and international. More than 1,500 films were submitted and only 100 titles were selected to screen Sept. 24-28 at Gaslamp’s Reading Theater and La Jolla’s Arclight Cinemas. Q&A panels will follow the films, which can include actors, directors, writers and producers. This interactive experience is what makes the festival special for film lovers. “San Diego Film Foundation (host of the festival) is an educational and nonprofit which was created with a purpose and a passion. Our purpose is to put San Diego on the motion picture industry map. And our passion is independent film,â€? said Dale Strack, chairman and CEO. Three-time Oscar winner “12 Years A Slaveâ€? opened the festival last year. This year, “Wildâ€? starring Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern will open the festival and “You’re Not Youâ€? starring Hilary Swank, Emmy Rossum and Josh Duhamel will close the festival. Duhamel will be in attendance for the screening and Q&A panel. Leading the program are gala presentation screenings, which include Lynn Shelton’s “Laggiesâ€? starring ChloĂŤ Grace Moretz, Keira Knightley and Sam Rockwell, Philippe Falardeau’s “The Good Lieâ€? starring Reese Witherspoon, Morten Tyldum’s “The Imitation Gameâ€? starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, and Antoine Fuqua’s “The Equalizerâ€? starring Denzel Washington, Michael Csokas and ChloĂŤ Grace Moretz. “This year, we have implemented a state-of-the-art ticketing system that offers VIP passholders, first priority selection before the general public — to pre-select films, panels or parties,â€? said Stephanie Inesco, SDFF producer. VIP passholders also have the opportunity to mingle with filmmakers and celebrities on the red carpet and at private parties such as the Opening Night party, Almost Famous party and the Filmmaker Awards party. “One of our signature events is Variety’s Night of the Stars: A Tribute at the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Arts,â€? said Tonya Mantooth, Emmy-award winning producer, and vice president and director of programming at SDFF. “This year we are honoring Alan Arkin, a 45-year veteran of

TPHS freshmen football teams wins again BY WALTER BAYS The Cathedral Catholic High School freshmen football team had a tough opening schedule falling to Mission Hills 25-7, and to last year’s champion St. John Bosco, 48-0. So they were fired up to take on the undefeated Torrey Pines Falcons who beat Sweetwater 41-0, and Mission Hills 56-21. The Dons played well and held the Falcons to their lowest point total all year, but could not overcome the Torrey Pines defense. Cathedral took the opening kickoff and picked up three first downs, including a crucial first down on a 9-yard run by quarterback #11 Thomas Kane-Berman, and a 22-yard run by #32 Brandon Hernandez, which could have gone all the way but for a tackle by #24 Matthew Goena. The drive stalled and Cathedral missed the field goal. Torrey Pines ran with #34 Gaston Schenk, #29 Ryan Ramirez, and #22 Beau Morgans, also making three first downs. On fourth down Torrey Pines lined up to go for it, then the pitch was to Goena who booted it deep. Falcon punt coverage came within inches of downing the ball inside the one. The
45th annual Dia del Sol to be held Oct. 14 The Beach & Country Guild will hold its 45th annual Dia Del Sol, from 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 at The Grand Del Mar. The fundraiser benefits United Cerebral Palsy San Diego. With a “Speakeasy” theme, the event will feature silent and live auctions, a gourmet luncheon, and a designer runway fashion show. For ticket information, visit beachandcountry.org.
Sully O’Brien returns kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown. Photo/Claudia Perrone Falcon ground game led by #11 Sully O’Brien drove into the red zone where Cathedral held on a 4th down try and the Dons took over on their own 12. At half time the game was still scoreless. O’Brien fielded the second half kickoff for the Falcons on the 12 and it looked well covered, but he ran the ball back 88 yards for the game’s first score, Falcons 7-0. Cathedral started their next series on their 35 and picked up two first downs with runs by Hernandez, #42 Tommy Twomey, and Kane-Berman. Torrey Pines ran successfully but Dons defenders #5 Jake Goddard, #18 Justin Clement, and #63, stopped them at 4th and 12 from the 14. The kick by #75 Tanner Wyandt made it 10-0 Falcons. Cathedral started on their 38 for one last chance to score. Then on 3rd down Falcon #85 Shayne Grant sacked Kane-Berman forcing Cathedral to punt it away on 4th and 18. With #14 Chris Temby in at quarterback the Falcons drove from their own 22 to near midfield on runs by Friedland, O’Brien, Schenk, and Temby as the clock ran out. Final score 10-0 Falcons. Torrey Pines remains undefeated at 3-0 and takes on Westview on Sept. 18, while Cathedral falls to 0-3 and faces Helix on the road.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: For a second straight week, Cathedral Catholic trailed late in the second half. And for a second straight week, the Dons came from behind to win. Timothy Semenza kicked a late field goal to lead the Dons to an 8-7 come-frombehind victory over local rival Torrey Pines in a nonleague game on Sept. 12. Semenza’s 21-yarder came with just 3:28 left in the game. Semenza also kicked a 41-yarder in the second quarter that broke a scoreless tie. The Falcons took a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter when quarterback Sandy Plashkes broke away for the game’s only touchdown. But Cathedral Catholic closed to within 7-5 midway through the fourth quarter on a safety, setting up Semenza’s game-winning kick minutes later. The Dons won for a second straight week as they improved their overall record for the season to 2-1. They were coming off a 28-21 Week 2 victory over Oaks Christian of Westlake Village (Ventura County) in which they trailed 21-14 late in the third quarter. Torrey Pines fell to 0-3 overall for the season. ***** La Costa Canyon overcame a late deficit as the Mavericks scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to defeat Hoover 21-9 in a nonleague game on Sept. 12. The Mavericks trailed 9-7 in the fourth quarter when Duke Mackle led the comeback, scoring on rushing plays from six and 11 yards out. The Mavericks jumped out to a quick 7-0 in the first quarter when Cade Jackson scored on a 3-yard run. But Hoover got back into the game in
the second quarter, scoring on a safety and a passing touchdown to take a 9-7 lead into the intermission. The Mavericks won for a second straight week as they improved their overall record for the season to 2-1. ***** Santa Fe Christian lost to Carlsbad 35-7 in a nonleague game on Sept. 12. The Eagles’ only score came in the third quarter, when Matthew McRoskey completed a 54-yard scoring pass to Caleb Phillips. Reece Walker rushed for 50 yards on four carries and Benton Weeks gained 29 rushing yards on 11 carries. Sam Ray led the Eagles defensively with eight tackles and Phillips and Connor Rice each contributed six tackles. Kyle Burns contributed two sacks. The Eagles fell to 0-3 overall for the season. Volleyball: Cathedral Catholic defeated a plucky Santa Fe Christian team 3-2 (25-18, 25-19, 24-26, 24-26, 15-11) in a nonleague match on Sept. 10. Lauren Woodard had 23 kills to lead the Dons and Cali Bunn and Madison Linxwiler added 12 and 10 kills, respectively. Dons setter Jeni Clark had 43 assists. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 2-0. San Dieguito Academy rallied from an early deficit to defeat Carlsbad 3-1 in a nonleague match on Sept. 9. The Mustangs lost the first game but went on to win the next three on their way to a the 14-25, 25-23, 25-19, 26-24 victory.

As a community, we are now in the process of being asked to fund a new recreational facility in Rancho Santa Fe. As advertised, construction of this facility will be funded by community enhancement dues and unrestricted reserve funds from the Rancho Santa Fe Association. The central argument from proponents of this position is that our home values will somehow suffer if we do not add a new recreational facility to the infrastructure of the community. I, for one, think this argument is misplaced and, importantly, it can be easily taken out of context. Home values alone are not the basis for a realistic argument on this matter. As a homeowner, I think it is necessary that we consider not just home values, but rather all of the many different community values that are relevant in this matter. Rancho Santa Fe has a rich heritage, with a long-standing tradition of being unique. It is not a shortterm investment. It unquestionably has its own ambience and its own personality. In addition to the many existing business and recreational venues already in place, other community assets include a lovely village, with churches, a school and a library. Moreover, the administrative and protective services that are provided for the community by the Homeowner’s Association are top notch. In sum, we already have the beauty, tranquility and value we know as Rancho Santa Fe. Over the past months, however, with reference to home values, it has been intimated by some that we of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant are somehow failing to achieve our potential as a community. I respectfully disagree. The point to be made here is that we should not overlook the intangible assets of the Rancho Santa Fe community. Consultants and committees with personal agendas can present and argue, ad nauseam, about the need to add new facilities. Nevertheless, more does not necessarily mean better. With this in mind, rather than backing a very expensive proposition, I propose we use our association enhancement dues to clean up, maintain and continue to beautify what we already have. Home values will inexorably follow. Jo Ann Nydegger, Rancho Santa Fe
The future of the RSF Garden Club For many reasons the RSF Garden Club purchase by the RSF Association did not happen. In my view, the concept was good but the mechanics were flawed. That being said, the Garden Club and its property are in a perfect location for completing a “civic center” in Rancho Santa Fe. “Why are we selling the Garden Club facility?” If we aren’t using all the space, lease the facility to other organizations. We know we can lease parking spaces, why not hire someone or some organization to rent out the facility for more functions. By retaining the property as our asset, we have many options available and rental income to take care of the management, maintenance and other expenses. In the last deal to sell the property, it would have left the Garden Club with no asset and very limited use of the facility. Again, “Why are we selling the Garden Club facility?” We have many wonderful organizations in our community: the Community Center, the Senior Center, Country Friends, the Historical Society, the Library, etc. All probably would like to have better access to the Garden Club facility for large meetings, events, etc., as well as the RSF Association and the
RSF School District, which have used the facility gratis in the past. Also, part of the property could be sold off or leased out to create more parking in the Village. Right now there are spaces leased out and more parking could be added if some of the property were improved by others creating more parking. All that would be income producing. Another option to cut costs could be to lease out most of the facility while retaining the land for the “outdoor garden use” of the Club for hosting horticultural events and meetings. The future of the Garden Club facility is very important to the community of Rancho Santa Fe. We have many options by retaining the property as our asset. I would urge the Board of Directors of the Garden Club, the RSF Association and all other community organizations to explore these or other viable options at the upcoming meeting at the Garden Club on Sept.18. The Garden Club facility is a valuable community asset and hopefully will continue to remain in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe serving its members, residents and friends as it has for many years. Marion Dodson, Member of the RSF Garden Club
Kudos for bringing awareness to the importance of sleep for teenagers Re: “Education Matters/Opinion: Yet another study on the benefits of later school start times” by Marsha Sutton, Sept. 11. Dear Marsha Sutton: Your perseverance on the subject of implementing later school start times is inspirational because it brings awareness to the importance of sleep in the teenage population of our community, and you provided solutions that can be adopted in our school districts. Sleep quality is an important health concern because its restorative power provides physiological and psychological benefits to the overall health status of an individual as supported by the scientific research you cited in your education opinion piece. One avenue to address this health concern, while the political propositions become a reality, is to get school nurses in our community involved in this issue. Nurses can provide health education campaigns that target sleep hygiene and empower the adolescents of our community with knowledge that is conducive to making changes in their sleeping environment and lifestyle to improve their quality and amount of sleep. Sleep is an important health matter and combining advocacy for flexible school start times with education that motivates teenagers to have healthy sleep patterns can be a way to prevent daytime sleepiness that could compromise their safety, behavior and academic performance. Briggitte Martinez University of San Diego Nursing Student
Thank you, Marsha Sutton. Thank you for your perseverance in writing about the benefits of later school start times for middle and high school students. As a neuropsychologist, I have followed this research with interest for decades. As a community member, I have read your many columns over the years extolling the benefits of later start times, and I have been dismayed by the response of the San Dieguito Union High School Board. Now, as the parent of a sixth grader who will start at Earl Warren Middle School next year, it is with dread that I anticipate rousting my son every morning for the school’s 7:40 a.m. start time. Rarely in behavioral research are results so compellingly consistent and conclusive: Later school start times are clearly associated with better physical health, emotional well being, and academic performance. I was encouraged to learn that the district has asked its principals to begin a conversation about start times with their school communities. District parents have successfully flexed their collective muscle on several high profile issues recently. I hope they will campaign for later school start times with comparable vigor. The research is clear: Starting school later benefits our kids. Diane Jacobs Baizer
Where Are the Girls? This past August in Los Angeles, Google held the finals for its annual Code Jam computer coding contest. Of the 26 finalists, there were no females. Last year the San Dieguito Union High School District began offering a coding elective in its middle schools. Ninety-five percent of the students who enrolled were boys. This year the percentage improved somewhat to 88 percent boys. Where are the girls? Computer Science/Information Technology continues to be one of the fastest growing and highest paid fields. The U.S. Department of Labor projects that by 2020, there will be 1.4 million computer specialist job openings. Yet U.S. universities anticipate that they will produce only enough qualified graduates to fill 29 percent of these jobs. In light of this information and when I consider what the future might hold for my 10-year-old daughter, the following statistics from the Girls Who Code website (www. girlswhocode.com) are equally alarming: • Despite the fact that 55 percent of overall AP test takers are girls, only 17 percent of AP Computer Science test takers are high school girls; • In middle school, 74 percent of girls express interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), but when choosing a college major, just 0.3 percent of high school girls select computer science; • While 57 percent of bachelor’s degrees are earned by women, just 12 percent of computer science degrees are awarded to women. This is not OK. Is there something more we can do at our schools to encourage more female participation? I believe there is. There used to be a similar issue with girls and science, but for the last five years the San Dieguito School District has had a 50/50 gender balance in the AP level math and science courses. Part of the solution is to recognize the problem. Once we shed light on it the School Board can encourage actions that increase enrollment.

zoned semi-rural residential, with the 7,974-square-foot clubhouse and a parking lot with 34 spaces. The actual building is not retro fit to house students so they would not be able to use it for educational purposes. For several years the school has used the clubhouse for its eighth grade graduation ceremonies. “If we look at that parcel, a major focus for us is parking,� Delaney said, noting there is not enough parking for visitors at many school events. The district has looked at purchasing the “Hat� parcel in the past but Delaney feels this is a good time to come back to it. The “Hat� is a nine-acre site with seven net usable acres that would be a huge increase to the district. The parcel has a golf membership on it that increases its value. If appointed as negotiator at the upcoming special board meeting, Delaney said she would start working with the neighboring Santa Fe Irrigation District and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District. In between the “Hat� and Dacus is the property
owned by Mrs. Mature the district has also looked to acquire, but Mrs. Mature has not expressed an interest in selling. “We’ve always been interested in Mature and ‘Hat,’� RSF School District Board President Richard Burdge said. “They’re an integral piece of the puzzle as we look west and east of the school.� Trustee Todd Buchner asked how district land acquisitions have gone in the past. In 2004 the district purchased the Mimosa house (the Angino property) with funds not used in a 1991 building purchase — the district sold $1.2 million in bonds and used $100,000 of its reserves. The district purchased the Dacus property on El Fuego from the Rancho Santa Fe Association in 2009 using $8.4 million in modernization funding it received from the state. The property was used as a construction site during the school renovation and as a temporary site for the RSF Patrol headquarters. It now serves as one of the main teacher parking lots. A petition by Mimosa residents forced the sale to go to a vote of the RSF Association membership and it
passed by a margin of 1,044 to 164 votes. Neighbors were mainly concerned that the district provide adequate landscape buffers, ingress and egress, and architectural control by the Covenant Design Review Committee for any vertical improvement. Regarding the Association’s “Hat� parcel, Delaney said she has been in contact with Acting RSF Association Manager Ivan Holler about getting on a future RSF Association board agenda.

micro-brewery. At the time, some board members said the 22nd DAA had not done enough to solicit proposals, especially from locally-based breweries. In June, the board approved a request for proposals, but had to bring the matter back for another vote this month after the document was amended. Also, for the September vote, director David Lizerbram recused himself from the discussion and left the meeting room. Lizerbram had informed Schenk that he has been actively involved in forming a marketing association to promote San Diego’s craft beer industry. Before voting on the request
for proposals, directors said they wanted to make sure that any company bidding on the micro-brewery proposal has no business ties to any member of the board. “We want to do this in a way that passes every smell test,� said Schenk in an interview after the meeting. In spite of the board’s efforts to avoid any potential conflicts of interest related to the micro-brewery proposal, at least one member felt the board had not gone far enough. Director David Watson, who also voted against the request for proposals in June, cast the lone opposing vote Tuesday. “I think the process is irreparably tainted. I don’t see how we can go forward with a micro-brewery at this time,� said Watson, a landuse attorney. Watson also said he was concerned that smaller, local companies would not be able to compete for the contract with larger national brands. The proposal calls for a brewing company to pay the district at least $1.5 million over five years to lease the fairgrounds micro-brewery, which would be built inside the Surfside Race Place, a satellite wagering facility at the northeast corner of the fairgrounds. The 22md DAA would spend up to $1 million on construction of the project, which would in-

clude the craft brewery, a restaurant, tasting room and brewing museum. The district plans to award the contract to the qualified company with the highest bid, officials said. Small businesses would be given a preference, allowing them to bid 5 percent less. “That’s being fair and will encourage more local breweries to participate in the process,� said director Stephen Shewmaker, who is heading up the effort to find a new use for the satellite wagering facility. Schenk said he is confident that major San Diego craft brew players such as Stone or Karl Strauss could compete for the contract, and that the tasting room would also feature the beers of local companies. “My observation is there’s enough local business to generate that investment,� he said. San Diego’s craft brew industry is thriving and growing rapidly, according to a 2014 report by the National University System Institute for Policy Research. The report estimated that, in 2013, the craft beer industry generated more than $500 million in direct economic impact in San Diego County, made $781.5 million in sales and employed 2,279 workers. More than half of the brewery licenses in the region have been issued since 2011, the
report said. As of August, 93 brew houses were operating in San Diego County, according to West Coaster, an online publication that tracks San Diego’s craft brew industry. An additional 42 breweries are planned. In North County alone, nearly 40 breweries and brew pubs are up and running, according to National University. At Thursday’s meeting, district staff said the request for proposals will be released to the industry this month, and it will take two to three months to evaluate the proposals, depending on how many are submitted. The contract would have to be approved both by the 22nd DAA board and state officials. Before the proposals are submitted, interested companies will be asked to attend a mandatory meeting at which the project will be discussed, a tour of the satellite wagering facility will be held, and officials will also determine if any of the companies have business ties with 22nd DAA board members, which would disqualify them from bidding on the project, officials said. If the process moves forward as planned, Schenk said, the micro-brewery could be up and running by June 5, the start of the 2015 San Diego County Fair. “Certainly, that’s a goal,� he said.

In Painterly Fashion: Jack Whitten retrospective opening at MCASD FROM MCASD REPORTS With 60 canvases from the 1960s to the present, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will host “Jack Whitten: Five Decades of Painting,” Sept. 20-Jan. 4 at 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. The show will be the premiere installation of the largest traveling, full-career retrospective exhibition of this consistently active artist. For 50 years, Whitten has explored the possibilities of paint, the role of the artist, and the allure of material essence in his innovative studio process. “With compositions that are abstract and elegiac, Whitten operates with both discipline and intuition,” write curators in a press release advancing the exhibition. “Whitten foregrounds material properties of paint-pigmentation, viscosity, and mark-to capture the momentary and suggest the enduring. Whitten exploits the potential of acrylic paint to convey immediacy and historicity.” Born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1939 Whitten attended the Tuskegee Institute before transferring to Southern University. While initially studying medicine, he was compelled to switch direction and pursue the visual arts. A participant in the civil rights movement, Whitten met Martin Luther King Jr. and adopted his call for peaceful protests. Ultimately, the incivility Whitten encountered during such protests caused the artist to abruptly leave the South, moving to New York City. Current scholarship often describes Whitten working through the gestural influences of Abstract Expressionism before achieving creative maturity in the mid-1970s. This show will debut a series of small black-and-white “ghost” paintings from 1964 that reveal Whitten working “without the wrist” almost a decade before his noted abstractions of the 1970s. These early wet-on-wet paintings are followed by an interlude of gestural works (his “garden” series), which may be seen as a digression from the material-
Jack Whitten based experimentations to which he returns in the 1970s. Throughout the ‘70s, Whitten emphasizes formal innovation and devises tools to help him produce his effects — long-handled squeegees, rakes, and serrated combs. As his figurative references fade, his intent to realize the total picture plane in a single gesture ascends. Works from the period will include test slabs and drag canvases, which were featured in Whitten’s 1974 one-person exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. For more than three
Jack Whitten’s ‘Black Monolith, II: Homage to Ralph Ellison the Invisible Man’ (1994) is made from acrylic paint, molasses, copper, salt, coal, ash, chocolate, onions, herbs, rust, eggshells and razor blades on canvas. Courtesy photos decades, Whitten has spent a portion of each year on the Greek island of Crete. He often breaks down words to their Greek etymology and, in the late-1970s, used the Greek alphabet as an ordering system for his optical canvases. In these primarily black-and-white works, Whitten subtly introduces color by rubbing pure powered pastel into the wet acrylic. By the 1980s and 1990s, Whitten
amplifies his plastic treatment of the acrylic paint by working directly with Aquatec staff and introducing acrylic emulsions such as Rhoplex. Collage, an admitted influence of Romare Bearden, manifests itself in Whitten’s tessellated constructions, wherein he creates paint tiles and then adheres them to the canvas: he breaks down the paint to remake the painting. In these decades Whitten also develops overall textures and patterns with imprints of screens, grates, and other materials. As the century turns, Whitten references bar codes and apps — the geometry of the Information Age. This retrospective will be followed by a national tour, and is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication with a lead essay by exhibition curator Kathryn Kanjo, an artist interview conducted by art historian Robert Storr, and new writing by poet Quincy Troupe. If you go: • What: “Jack Whitten: Five Decades of Painting,” • When: Sept. 20-Jan. 4 • Where: MCASD, 700 Prospect St. • Hours: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Closed Wednesday.

Accomplished local theater actor thrives on challenge of award-winning musical ‘Next to Normal’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY SAMANTHA TATRO Local actor Robert J. Townsend stumbled upon musical theater by complete accident. One afternoon in high school, Townsend’s best friend stayed after school to audition for the school musical “Something’s Afoot.” Townsend, who usually got a ride home with his friend, decided to wait for the ride anyway. He ended up auditioning for the school musical that year, but he had nothing to sing, so he sang “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” — and he got cast. “I was terrible, terrible, there’s a video on Facebook. Terrible, I can’t even believe I did the show,” Townsend said. “But that was the first time, and I just sort of got bit by the bug.” That was the start of what would become a global career in theater, from singing with the Opera Pacific in Orange County to singing in Brazil to his current endeavor, playing the clean-cut dad Dan Goodman in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Next to Normal.” “I always call it my accidental career,” Townsend said, adding that he spent his college summers working on productions before eventually getting paid for his work. “All these things kind of just kept happening and there was no moment [he knew he wanted to become an actor], until I suddenly found out I was in love with performing,” the Framingham, Mass. native said. The actor, fresh off the national tour of “Jersey Boys,” has been home for less than a month and is already in rehearsal for “Next to Normal,” which opens Sept. 26. The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical tackles mental illness and crisis through the eyes of one family and its mother, Diana Goodman, as she struggles to cope with her bipolar disorder. Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s book and lyrics transform mundane suburban life and the struggles of dealing with loss into a riveting powerhouse contemporary musical. Townsend initially undertook the challenges of the musical a year and a half ago, when he and two other cast members — Bets Malone and Eddie Egan — were cast in the show together in La Mirada. The producers saw the production and “fell in love” with the show, Townsend said, and decided to bring it down to San Diego. Townsend, Malone and Egan were asked to come back and reprise their roles. “It’s not an easy show to get through,” Townsend said.

It’s a demanding show to do, but I realistic musical — it’s about real life,” love the piece so much. It came to me the Townsend said. “People come in and they first time at a time when I needed to be able say, ‘A musical about bipolar [disorder]? That to take that trip every day to deal with some sounds like the worst idea ever.’ It’s not. It’s things in my personal life, you know, some full of humor and you cry and it’s full of loss in my family, and I found it so helpful ... beautiful emotions and I think that, if nothing else, it makes you think.” it was something I needed.” Townsend called the musical, and his To take on the complexity of mental illness, the entire cast has been doing extensive experience with it, cathartic.

Though the material is daunting, he said, it is ultimately rewarding for him as an actor and for the audience. “It’s not feel-good, but it’s feel everything,” Townsend said. “I just figured this out the other day; it’s something I learned since last time. It’s not feel-good but it’s feel everything. You will feel good. But you’ll also feel sad, you’ll feel confused and angry and all those things — but it’s worth it. It’s worth it to feel all those things.” Townsend smiled over coffee. “Just remind your readers not to be scared of it,” Townsend said with a laugh. San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “Next to Normal” features Bets Malone as Diana Goodman, Robert J. Townsend as Dan Goodman, Eddie Egan as Gabriel “Gabe” Goodman, Lindsay Joan as Natalie Goodman, Eric Parker as Henry, and Geno Carr as Dr. Madden. The production is directed by Nick DeGruccio and musically directed by Don Le Master. The musical opens Sept. 26 and runs through Oct. 12.

Find authentic-style Japanese fare at Samurai BY KELLEY CARLSON fter nearly 30 years in business, Samurai Japanese Restaurant is practically a North County legend. First opened in 1979 by David Song, it was the first Japanese restaurant in the area, said Song’s son, Charlie Song. It was located on Highway 101 in Solana Beach, until it was destroyed by a fire in 1986. Yet like a true warrior, the business survived the tragedy, and reopened a year later on Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Today, the establishment continues to thrive under Charlie Song, who took over as owner when his father died in 1992. Guests can choose various types of settings — whether it’s relaxing at the sushi bar or cocktail lounge, relishing a meal in the dining room, watching chefs slicing and dicing their way through foods at a teppan grill, or experiencing the fare “Japanesestyle” in a Tatami Room. Originally, Samurai only served sushi, but the menu has expanded over the years, featuring authentic Japanese cuisine prepared in the “old-style tradition,” Charlie Song said. In the teppanyaki dining room, patrons are seated around a teppan table, which features an iron griddle. Chefs provide entertainment of sorts, playfully flipping utensils while preparing grilled fare such as chicken, steak, scallops, prawns, mahi mahi, salmon, calamari and vegetables. Customers can request them individually or in various combinations, including the Samurai Special with filet mignon and lobster.

Other starters include Gyoza (pork dumplings), Fried Calamari, Harumaki (egg rolls), several types of tempura (deep-fried seafoods and vegetables) and more than a dozen other choices to whet the appetite. Entrée selections range from Tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet), Sukiyaki (sliced beef and vegetable soup) and Teriyaki Chicken, to Yosenabe (seafood, chicken and egg soup) to Lobster Tempura.

The rice is prepared in a mix of vinegar and a dash of sugar. Another popular draw is the sashimi, with varieties such as bluefin tuna, hamachi (yellowtail), sake (salmon), hirame (halibut), tako (octopus) and albacore. In the semi-private Tatami Room, guests pad barefoot across mats and settle on cushions placed on the floor before lowplatform tables. Then, patrons put trust in the chefs’ choice to create a delicious meal (omokase). Reservations for these rooms are required at least a day in advance, and the cost is between $80 and $120 per person. For a less formal setting, patrons can head to the recently remodeled cocktail lounge or the 50-seat sushi bar for happy hour specials on select wines, beers, well drinks, hot sakes, sushi rolls and appetizers.

The foster teens who were present, witnessed the genuine caring from others and greatly appreciate the continuous interest and support from this wonderful community. Thank you for caring about these kids!” “This was a night to celebrate the many successes of San Pasqual Academy,” added Kathy Lathrum. “It has been so rewarding to be involved in these students’ lives and see how futures are truly changed by so many caring people.

Teen Volunteers in Action partners with the Burrito Boyz to help feed the homeless of San Diego Michael Johnson, vice president of development for the San Diego Rescue Mission, was the honorary speaker at the recent Teen Volunteers in Action SD3 Kickoff event Sept. 7 at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center. In 2010, Johnson started Hunger 2 Help, a nonprofit organization that manages and motivates young men to serve the homeless and has been fondly named the “Burrito Boyz.” When his son, Alec Johnson, gave him his Christmas Wish List, he never dreamed it would develop into a lifelong lesson. Instead of granting Alec the Smartphone and NFL jersey on his list, he was given a trip downtown to hand out breakfast burritos to the homeless made in the
Johnson family’s very own kitchen. Not only were the Johnson parents hoping to teach their son and his friends not to take things for granted, they wanted to do something to help others. After that first Sunday serving 54 hot breakfast burritos and bottles of water, the group knew they had started something special. For three full years without missing a Sunday, the Burrito Boyz joined by the Burrito Babes and a cast of volunteers from San Diego have served more than 72,000 meals and worked over 201 consecutive Sundays. Young men from Teen Volunteers in Action will soon give up their Sundays just like Alec Johnson. TVIA Chapter

The 22nd DAA board unanimously approved the 2015 fair dates, from 4 p.m. June 5, through Sunday, July 5. The fair will be closed on Mondays and the first two Tuesdays of its annual run.

Del Norte Chapter of National Charity League refurbishes St. Vincent de Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jinny Jo Park in downtown San Diego The Del Norte Chapter of National Charity League recently refurbished St. Vincent de Paul Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jinny Jo Park in downtown San Diego. The Jinny Jo childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s park serves hundreds of residents and families receiving support. NCL members planned and executed the project on their own, raising $5,000 from local businesses to fund the re-beautification. The NCL Del Norte senior class painted a shade canopy, play structure, storage shed and colorful wall mural. The girls also landscaped planters and a drainage ditch with river rocks donated by KRC Rock and plants donated by Village Nursery. In order to further sustainability and reduce water consumption, astro turf donated by Astro Turf USA was installed. Finally, the team will fill the shed with an assortment of games and toys, hang a new basketball net and volleyball net, and clean up the bathroom and BBQ area to make it all the more enjoyable for residents. The mother-daughter organization focuses on philanthropic, cultural and leadership development through middle school and high school. During their six-year tenure, the members of the Del Norte Chapter had the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of philanthropic activities, including volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul Village. The girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NCL experience culminates with the independent design and implementation of their senior service project. As a class, the girls sought a hands-on project that would benefit children and families in San Diego.

Sharing the facts so that the women of San Diego can be educated about their breast health is the core of Komenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission at this event.â&#x20AC;? The evening will consist of a reception, dinner and a discussion about the breast health facts that can keep San Diegans informed and healthy. The panel of experts will include Ardy Arianpour, chief strategic officer at Pathway Genomics; Dr. Jennifer Purdy Mayberry, M.D., diagnostic radiologist and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imaging specialist at San Diego Imaging and Chandini Portteus, chief mission officer for Susan G. Komen. Lorraine Hutchinson, Komen San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 Honorary Breast Cancer Survivor, will also share her story. Marriott Del Mar: 11966 El Camino Real, San Diego, CA 92130.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
The Wine Sellar & Brasserie offers high-quality wine, food, storage space and more BY KAREN BILLING The Wine Sellar & Brasserie will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Like any fine vintage, the Sellar has simply gotten better with age, adding onto its public wine storage facility as customers requested more and more. Now it is much more than just storage space: The WineSellar & Brasserie is a full-service wine shop, a fine dining destination in the upstairs Brasserie, and a spot for happy hours and tastings at the downstairs Casual Side. The WineSellar and Brasserie also offers a unique monthly wine club and off-the-beaten track wine tour excursions to wine regions such as Spain, France, South Africa and, next year, Italy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real fun business to be in,â&#x20AC;? said Lori Parker, who owns the business with her husband Gary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who really like fine food and wine tend to be very fun and interesting people, they love to travel and they really enjoy life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot of great friends over the years,â&#x20AC;? Gary added. The Parkers lived in Encinitas for 27 years before moving to Del Mar a year ago. A San Diego native, Lori first got into wine when she went to college in Northern California, close enough to explore the Napa and Mendocino wine countries. Gary started out as an architecture student but he fell in love with wine and food and never looked back. He managed Mon Ami, one of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first French restaurants, and also worked at Mille Fleurs in Rancho Santa Fe. Lori and Gary met when they both had jobs selling wine for a European company, quickly falling in love. Ask Gary whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best thing they have in the WineSellar and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sweetly indicate that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lori. She will beam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we had been selling wine so many people would say they would buy more wine if they had a place to store it,â&#x20AC;? Lori said. At the time there were no public wine storage facilities,
Lori and Gary Parker are celebrating The Wine Sellarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th anniversary. Photo by Bill Wechter, UT San Diego save for a local dentist who would help people store their wines in an empty space under his dental practice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wines were separated by chicken wire. The dentist gave the Parkers a list two yards long of people on a waiting list to get into his makeshift wine cave. A year later in 1984, the Parkers opened their first facility with 33 wine lockers. When they found their current Sorrento Valley location in 1989 they knew it was the perfect spot: a three-story building in a central location. Gary tapped his architecture background to design a state-of-the-art three-story, earthquake-proof wine storage facility. Now 200 wine lockers deep, people keep their collections safe in the optimal temperature, 55 to 59 degrees. One customer has more than 1,500 cases in storage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy when people come back and they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been

to see their wine in a number of years and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all excited about it,â&#x20AC;? Gary said. There were few boutique wine shops when they opened in 1989 and they put Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge and expertise to work. Currently the wine shop has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;off the charts wonderfulâ&#x20AC;? Saint-Joseph white from the Rhone Valley in France that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else in Southern California, and their most prized possession is a magnum of a 1947 Chateau-Chavel Blanc that is worth $40,000. Last week the floors of the shop were full with WineSellarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine club orders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wine club is unique in that we handpick the wines every month, they can come from anywhere around the world and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just one winery,â&#x20AC;? Lori said. They offer three levels in their wine club, ranging from $35 to $100 for two bottles a month. Due to their buying power, WineSellar is able to negotiate prices well below what the public might pay, typically 10 to 40 percent less than the suggested retail price for the wines. The upstairs Brasserie menu changes on occasion but there are mainstays that will never be taken off the menu â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lori said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re known for their duck confit and their grilled leg of lamb salad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a French-based menu but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really French-Californian, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no heavy creams and butters, everything is made in house with all organic produce,â&#x20AC;? Lori said. The Brasserie recently expanded its hours and is now open for lunch five days a week, serving up items to enjoy in the restaurant or to-go such as its chicken liver pate terrine appetizer, soups, salads and sandwiches, such as the warm brie with pear, prosciutto and blueberry butter. Like wine microclimates, the WineSellar is a variety of different spaces, from the white-table cloth fine French

Crean, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Chief Executive Officer. Front Row: Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito members.
Two organizations partner to benefit local youth The Junior Seau Foundation recently partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito for the fourth annual “Cruise 4 Kids” sports and exotic car rally fundraiser. Hunter Seau, Junior Seau’s son, donated $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Club to support the Sept. 6 event. He also rode as a passenger in one of the exotic cars in the rally. “I am happy to be representing my dad’s foundation by supporting Cruise 4 Kids for the second year,” said Hunter Seau, prior to the event. He turns 14 in September. “It is important to me to continue giving back to the kids who need it most.” Junior Seau, an Oceanside High alum and standout on San Diego’s only Super Bowl team, was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame and the team retired his No. 55. In memory and honor of Junior, the car Hunter rode in was No. 55. “The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito are incredibly thankful to the generosity of the Junior Seau Foundation for their generous donation to the Cruise 4 Kids Car Rally event, all to benefit the more than 20,000 youth that we serve each year,” said David Crean, BGC San Dieguito Chief Executive Officer, prior to the event. “Junior Seau, an icon in the San Diego Community, epitomized hard work and dedication to his craft and philanthropy. Through the Foundation in his name, they seek to educate and empower young people on important issues, much in the same way that Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito seeks to impact. I am very appreciative of our partnership with this great organization. Together, we are making a difference in the community.” The Junior Seau Foundation has been supporting numerous organizations throughout the years that empower youth to flourish, especially youth that may have a disadvantage due to social circumstances. The fit between the Junior Seau Foundation and the Boys & Girls Clubs is a great partnership that reinforces the Boys & Girls Clubs mission - to provide POSITIVE activities to develop the education, health, self-esteem and character of youth. The Cruise 4 Kids fundraiser is an event that invites high-end luxury car owners to participate in a 40-mile “cruise” to raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. This year’s event took started at the Coronado Ferryboat Landing Shopping Center in front of Il Fornaio restaurant. The conclusion of the rally was held at Jet Source in a private jet hangar at the Palomar McClellan Airport in Carlsbad. C4K hosted a gourmet breakfast and lunch, hosted bar, raffles, auctions, and entertainment. All proceeds from C4K will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS All Home Medical Supply is now open After the recent closing of Burns Drugs in La Jolla in April, customers who need home healthcare supplies are finding themselves with no convenient alternative in the Central San Diego area. Fortunately, All Home Medical Supply opened up on Convoy Street on June 9 and is able to meet residents’ medical supply needs. Not only that, but patrons of Burns Drugs will see a familiar face or two in the new store. Malcolm Brooks and Sharon Hubele, two of the store’s medical supply consultants and former Burns Drugs employees, lend their experience and knowledge to the customers of All Home Medical Supply. Malcolm worked at Burns Drugs for nine years and holds over 30 years experience working with medical services and equipment. Sharon was a member of the Burns Drugs team for four years. Both Malcolm and Sharon are experts in compression stockings, wheelchairs, canes, lift chairs, walkers, incontinence care, and wound care. All Home Medical Supply carries all of the same equipment that Burns Drugs
What inspires a life well lived?
All Home Medical Supply used to – everything from wound care to compression garments, lift chairs, walkers to bath safety items – as well as some more specialty items. The store boasts over 4,500 square feet of showroom floor, making it one of the largest durable medical equipment stores in San Diego county. What sets All Home Medical Supply apart from an average pharmacy is that they do not carry the more common over-the-counter products. They instead focus on more natural pain remedies and products their customers can’t get anywhere else. “You can get aspirin at any corner convenience store,” Malcolm said, “but you can’t find a lift chair or someone who will be able to measure you for compression stockings.” All Home Medical Supply is located at 4150 Convoy Street in San Diego, 92111, near the 805, 163, 52 Freeways. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

2nd Annual Iron Mike Paddle to be held Sept. 20 in Solana Beach The 2nd Annual Iron Mike Paddle will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sept. 20, at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. The event will include an all ages, five-mile paddleboard race (both prone and SUPs), a kids 1-mile paddle board race (ages 5-17), Grom O’ Rama kids’ surf contest, a surfboard swap, live music, art and a taco truck from 11 a.m. -3 p.m. Register at racemill.com. The event, which is co-sponsored by the City of Solana Beach, will include new artists who will transform donated Firewire surfboards into art and then auction them. The repurposed boards, donated by Firewire, are un-surfable or manufactured incorrectly. Created in 2013, the Iron Mike Paddle was inspired by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association to honor Mike McKay, a fellow guard who passed away before his time. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, which awards various youth scholarships every year. Last year’s Iron Mike Paddle, which attracted 33 racers and about 400 festivalgoers, raised roughly $5,000. Event organizers plan to double the amount of racers and attendees for this year.

Rancho Santa Fe Invasive Plants and Better Alternatives In California we are lucky to live in a mild climate that allows us to grow amazing landscapes. Because of this mild climate, plants from other parts of the world often thrive; and some grow so well they become known as invasive. These plants ‘jump fences’ and ‘throw seeds.’ Their roots and stem fragments spread into our natural areas threatening our biodiversity and ecology. They grow quickly and crowd our native vegetation, blocking streams which can cause flooding, and their biomass can become a serious fire hazard. By choosing appropriately selected
replacements for these invasive plants, we can save ourselves landscape maintenance costs, help protect California’s natural landscape and reduce the risk of flooding and fire damage. Here is a list of invasive plants commonly used in the Rancho Santa Fe area, along with several healthy and beautiful alternatives: Iceplant: This strong, aggressive groundcover creates impenetrable mats that can choke out native vegetation, including several rare and threatened plants. Small animals and storm drains help to spread iceplant into natural areas. Alternatives: Wall Germander, Ivory Star Jasmine, Beach Strawberry, San Diego March Elder, Ivy Geranium, and Common Yarrow. Pampas Grass: The massive size of each pampas grass plant reduces wildlife habitat, limits recreational areas, and creates serious fire and flood hazards. Winds can carry their small seeds up to 20 miles. “Sterile” varieties of this plant have not been properly tested and verified and are therefore not recommended. Alternatives: Blue Oat Grass, Deer Grass, San
Deigo Sedge, Giant Wild Rye, and California Fescue. Mexican Feather Grass: Once established, Mexican Feather Grass is capable of overcoming native pasture grass species and animal species. It produces tens of thousands of seeds which are easily dispersed by wind, water, contaminated soil, automobiles, and animal feces. Alternatives: Blue Grama Grass, Prairie Dropseed, Mexican Deer Grass, Pink Muhly, Autumn Moor Grass. Brazilian Pepper Tree: The aggressive growth of these South American trees enables them to displace native trees and form dense thickets in natural areas. Additionally, they can take over your yard and can become a maintenance nightmare. Seeds are easily transported by birds and mammals into natural areas. Alternatives: Coast Live Oak, Catalina Ironwood, Arbutus Strawberry Tree, Australian Willow, Chitalpa, and Fern Pine. African Daisy: These plants are strong and
will out-compete native species (some of these native species are relied on for native creatures to survive). The seeds are very light and easily carried by wind into natural areas where they can survive in harsh conditions. Alternatives: Mexican Gold Poppy, California Poppy, San Diego Sunflower, Blazing Star, Baby Blue Eyes, and Chinese Houses. It’s important to be aware of what you grow in your yard. By avoiding or removing these invasive plants and replacing them with native alternatives, you can go a long way in saving yourself maintenance costs along with helping to preserve California’s ecosystem. To learn more about invasive plants, visit the California Invasive Plant Council website at www.cal-ipc. org or Plant Right at www.plantright.org/. At Nature Designs, we pride ourselves not only in providing you with a beautiful landscape, but also with protecting the Southern California environment. If you are interested in discussing invasive plants and how to protect against them, please contact us at www. NatureDesigns.Net, or call us at (760) 945-4321.

dining upstairs it transitions to the wine shop and Casual Side bar and lounge downstairs. The Casual Side is a place where people can come for happy hour after work, meet friends over a glass of wine or a cocktail, or one of the eight San Diego craft beers they always have on tap. The food menu is not your standard bar menu — “It’s a little more sophisticated ... flavorful and different,” Lori said of items such as artisan duck leg confit tacos, seared polenta, smoked rabbit sausage and New England green lip mussels. The WineSellar offers twice-weekly tastings: Wednesday from 4-9 p.m. they do tastings in the Casual Side and on Saturdays they do a fun wine tasting in the Brasserie, with a special entrée to go with the wines for only $12.50, from 2-5 p.m. Once a month the WineSellar does special walk-around tastings that allow people to try 15 to 20 different wines, always on a theme, for a low price. Every six to eight weeks they also hold Winemaker’s Dinners. For information on the wine club or upcoming tasting events, visit winesellar.com.
